Enhancing cancer vaccine efficacy via modulation of the tumor microenvironment.

نویسنده

  • Mary L Disis
چکیده

The development of therapeutic cancer vaccines is impacted by immunosuppressive elements in the tumor microenvironment. Most immunogenic cancer proteins are "self," therefore, peripheral tolerance contributes substantially to tumor immune escape. Transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) actively modulates both inflammation and tolerance induction. Combining vaccination with agents that disarm TGFbeta will enhance vaccine efficacy.

Evaluation of naloxone and alum adjuvants effect in HPV vaccine on immunoediting of mice in tumor microenvironment

Background: Papilloma viruses are pathogenic double-strand DNA viruses that genotypes 16 and 18 are the cause of more than 50 percent of cancers as cervical cancer. Although vaccination is one of the best options for the papilloma cancer prevention but that is the most of world healthy problem, it is attempted to evaluate both naloxone (NLX) and alum mixture used as adjuvants together with HPV1...

New approaches in cancer immunotherapy: review article

Cancer immunotherapy refers to any intervention that leverages the immune system to eliminate a malignancy. Successful cancer immunotherapies generate an anti-cancer response that is systemic, specific, and durable and overcome to the primary limitations of traditional cancer treatment modalities. In this review paper, the effective methods in immune system to treat cancer, such as immunosuppre...

PLGA-polymer encapsulating tumor antigen and CpG DNA administered into the tumor microenvironment elicits a systemic antigen-specific IFN-γ response and enhances survival.

Critical to the generation of an effective therapeutic antitumor immune response is the elicitation of effective antigen presentation coupled with overcoming tumor-immune escape mechanisms. Towards this end, we aimed to understand the therapeutic effectiveness of a polymer based vaccine approach at enhancing the anti-tumor responses in a tumor-bearing mouse model. While we and others have previ...

Vascular normalization as an emerging strategy to enhance cancer immunotherapy.

The recent approval of Provenge has brought new hope for anticancer vaccine therapies. However, the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment seems to impair the efficacy of vaccine therapies. The abnormal tumor vasculature creates a hypoxic microenvironment that polarizes inflammatory cells toward immune suppression. Moreover, tumors systemically alter immune cells' proliferation, differentiati...
