Abstract Effectively activating macrophages against cancer is promising but challenging. In particular, cells express CD47, a ‘don’t eat me’ signal that interacts with regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα) on to prevent phagocytosis. Also, secrete stimulating factors, which polarize tumor-associated from an antitumor M1 phenotype tumorigenic M2 phenotype. Here, we report hybrid cell membrane nanovesicles (known as hNVs) displaying SIRPα variants significantly increased affinity CD47 and...

NLRP3 inflammasome acts as a danger signal sensor that triggers and coordinates the inflammatory response. However, roles of in tumorigenesis development cancer stem cells (CSCs) squamous cell carcinoma head neck (SCCHN) remain ambiguous. In our study, tissue microarrays, ELISA, sphere-forming assay, colony formation assay Western blot analysis were performed to evaluate effect on CSCs human SCCHN specimen, lines, transgenic mouse model. The components inflammasome, namely, NLRP3, ASC,...

T-cell immunoglobulin mucin 3 (TIM3) is a negative immune checkpoint and plays crucial part in tumor-induced suppression. However, the mechanism of TIM3 regulating immunosuppression head neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) was still not quite clear.We carried out immunohistochemistry staining HNSCC tissue microarrays. Through quantification histoscore, we performed correlation analysis among TIM3, Galectin-9, Foxp3, CD68 CD163. The effects on regulatory T cells (Tregs) macrophages were...

Angiogenesis is an essential event in tumor growth and metastasis, immune system also contributes to the evasion. Emerging evidences have suggested bidirectional link between angiogenesis immunosuppression. Myeloid‐derived suppressor cell (MDSC) a kind of immunosuppressive cells plays important role this process. However, actual regulatory mechanisms MDSCs head neck squamous carcinoma (HNSCC) were unclear. In study, through analyzing immunohistochemistry staining human HNSCC tissue...
