Chaperones and Glioma Immunotherapy
نویسنده
چکیده
Molecular chaperones, also known as heat-shock proteins or HSPs, are a functionally conserved class of proteins whose primary function is to keep cellular proteins in their native conformation, under both physiological and stress conditions. In most cases these chaperones do not participate in the final mature structures that their ‘clients’ form. Apart from folding, chaperones play vital roles in cellular localization, transport, secretion and assembly of proteins in multiprotein complexes [1-4].

O 25: Immunotherapy for Brain Tumor
In 1890, Coley observed that cancer patients who developed infections had smaller tumors. From this, he developed Coley’s toxin and treated tumors with injections of infectious materials. In 1960s, Mahaley used monoclonal antibodies to treat central nervous system(CNS) tumors, that research and clinical investigations in brain tumor immunotherapy became a serious undertaking. ...
متن کاملCell-mediated immunotherapy: a new approach to the treatment of malignant glioma.
BACKGROUND The dismal prognosis for patients harboring intracranial gliomas has prompted an intensive search for effective treatment alternatives such as immunotherapy. Our increased knowledge in basic immunology, glioma immunobiology, and molecular biology may lead to the development of effective, rational immunotherapy approaches. METHODS The authors reviewed the literature on glioma immuno...
متن کاملInduction of specific T helper-9 cells to inhibit glioma cell growth
The effects of Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) on regulation of immune response have been recognized; whether SEB can enhance the effects of immunotherapy on glioma remains to be investigated. This study tests a hypothesis that administration with SEB enhances the effects of specific immunotherapy on glioma growth in mice. In this study, a glioma-bearing mouse model was developed by adoptive...
متن کاملProtective role of STING against gliomagenesis: Rational use of STING agonist in anti-glioma immunotherapy.
We recently reported that STING contributes to antiglioma immunity by triggering type I IFN induction in glioma microenvironment. Moreover, intratumoral administration of STING agonist improved the efficacy of peptide vaccination in a mouse glioma model, suggesting the rational use of STING agonists in the immunotherapy of brain tumor.
متن کاملGlioma Stem Cells and Immunotherapy for the Treatment of Malignant Gliomas
Stem cell research has led to the discovery of glioma stem cells (GSCs), and because these cells are resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, analysis of their properties has been rapidly pursued for targeted treatment of malignant glioma. Recent studies have also revealed complex crosstalk between GSCs and their specialized environment (niche). Therefore, targeting not only GSCs but also th...
