Immune cells in pancreatic cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pancreatic tumors are rich in immune cell infiltrates that include CD4+ T-cell subsets encompassing both regulatory T cells and TH17 cells. Rather than protecting the organism by exerting an anticancer effect, these T-cell subsets promote tumor formation. Thus, re-activation of antitumor immunity should be investigated for use in pancreatic cancer prevention and therapy.

سنجش سطح سرمی لیگاند القاکننده تکثیر (APRIL) بهعنوان تومورمارکر جهت تشخیص سرطان پانکراس
Background: Members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily of ligands and their receptors (TNFR) are critical regulators of the adaptive immune system. A proliferation inducing ligand (APRIL) is a member of tumor necrosis factor superfamily. APRIL was identified via database mining in 1998 by Hahne, et al. APRIL allows tumor cells to proliferate at a reasonable rate even in low serum. A...
متن کاملApoptosis induction and proliferation inhibition by silibinin encapsulated in nanoparticles in MIA PaCa-2 cancer cells and deregulation of some miRNAs
Objective(s): Silibinin, as an herbal compound, has anti-cancer activity. Because of low solubility of silibinin in water and body fluids, it was encapsulated in polymersome nanoparticles and its effects were evaluated on pancreatic cancer cells and cancer stem cells.Materials and Methods: MIA PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells were treated ...
متن کاملWild Type p53 Gene Transfer Increases Chemosensitivity and Apoptotic Response of PANC-1 Pancreatic Tumor Cell Line
The effect of p53 gene therapy on chemosensitivity and apoptotic response of PANC-1 tumor cells, which express high amount of mutant p53, to cancer chemotherapeutic agents of Etoposide and Doxorubicin was investigated. Comparison of the chemosensitivity of PANC-1 cells to its wild type p53 transfectants showed that wt-p53 expressing transfectants are more sensitive to both Etoposide and Doxorub...
متن کاملCrosstalk between Tumor Cells and Immune System Leads to Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Induction and Breast Cancer Progression
Herein, we review the current findings of how a variety of accessory cells could participate in shaping the tumor microenvironment and supporting the mechanisms by which cancer cells undertake the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). EMT, a complex of phenotypic changes, promotes cancer cell invasion and creates resistance to chemotherapies. Among the accessory cells present in the EMT, imm...

Objective(s): Pyocyanin, a blue-green pigment produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, interferes with host redox cycles, which can lead to generation of reactive oxygen species and progressive cellular oxidative damage. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of pyocyanin on human pancreatic cancer cell line.Materials and Methods: Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was applied to confirm the...
متن کاملVaccine Therapy for Pancreatic Cancer: As a Novel Therapeutic Approach?
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest human malignancies and little progress has been achieved in its treatment over the past decades. Historically, chemotherapy or radiotherapy did not provide significant survival benefit in advanced pancreatic cancer. Thus, new therapeutic approaches are needed. As there is strong evidence that pancreatic cancer elicits antitumor immune responses, scienti...
