Abstract Purpose: Radiotherapy (RT) is a widely employed anticancer treatment. Emerging evidence suggests that RT can elicit both tumor-inhibiting and tumor-promoting immune effects. The purpose of this study to investigate suppressive factors radiotherapy. Experimental Design: We used heterologous two-tumor model in which adaptive concomitant immunity was eliminated. Results: Through analysis PD-L1 expression myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) frequencies using patient peripheral blood...
All-trans retinoic acid induces inflammatory myeloid cells to enhance antitumor adaptive immunity after radiation therapy.
Activation of TGF-β signaling serves as an extrinsic resistance mechanism that limits the potential for radiotherapy. Bone morphogenetic protein and activin membrane-bound inhibitor (BAMBI) antagonizes is implicated in cancer progression. However, molecular mechanisms BAMBI regulation immune cells its impact on antitumor immunity after radiation have not been established. Here, we show ionizing (IR) specifically reduces expression immunosuppressive myeloid-derived suppressor (MDSCs) both...
RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) reader YTHDF1 is implicated in cancer etiology and progression. We discovered that radiotherapy (RT) increased expression dendritic cells (DCs) of PBMCs from patients, but not other immune tested. Elevated DCs was associated with poor outcomes patients receiving RT. found loss Ythdf1 enhanced the antitumor effects ionizing radiation (IR) via increasing cross-priming capacity across multiple murine models. Mechanistically, IR upregulated through STING-IFN-I...
ABSTRACT We have previously shown that wound healing was improved in a diabetic mouse model of impaired following transfection with keratinocyte growth factor‐1 (KGF‐1) cDNA. now extend these findings to the characterization effects DNA plasmid vectors delivered rats using electroporation (EP) vivo sepsis‐based healing. To assess and healing, gWIZ luciferase PCDNA3.1/KGF‐1 expression were used, respectively. Cutaneous wounds produced an 8 mm‐punch biopsy Sprague–Dawley which by cecal...
Radiation-mediated immune suppression limits efficacy and is a barrier in cancer therapy. Radiation induces negative regulators of tumor immunity including regulatory T cells (Treg). Mechanisms underlying Treg infiltration after radiotherapy (RT) are poorly defined. Given that conventional dendritic (cDC) maintain Treg, we sought to identify target cDC signaling block radiation.
