Patient-derived and artificial ascites have minor effects on MeT-5A mesothelial cells and do not facilitate ovarian cancer cell adhesion

Estermann, Manuela ; Huang, Yen-Lin ; Septiadi, Dedy ; Ritz, Danilo ; Liang, Ching-Yeu ; Jacob, Francis ; Drasler, Barbara ; Petri-Fink, Alke ; Heinzelmann-Schwarz, Viola ; Rothen-Rutishauser, Barbara

The presence of ascites in the peritoneal cavity leads to morphological and functional changes of the peritoneal mesothelial cell layer. Cells loose cell-cell interactions, rearrange their cytoskeleton, activate the production of fibronectin, and change their cell surface morphology in a proinflammatory environment. Moreover, ovarian cancer cell adhesion has been shown to be facilitated by...

Innate immune cells and their contribution to T-cell-based immunotherapy

Ginefra, Pierpaolo ; Lorusso, Girieca ; Vannini, Nicola

In: International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020, vol. 21, no. 12, p. 4441

In recent years, immunotherapy has become the most promising therapy for a variety of cancer types. The development of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapies, the adoptive transfer of tumor-specific T cells (adoptive cell therapy (ACT)) or the generation of T cells engineered with chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) have been successfully applied to elicit durable immunological responses in...

Effects of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy on tumor regression: insights from a patient-derived xenograft model

Martín-Ruiz, Asunción ; Fiuza-Luces, Carmen ; Martínez-Martínez, Esther ; Arias, Clemente F. ; Gutiérrez, Lourdes ; Ramírez, Manuel ; Martín-Acosta, Paloma ; Coronado, Maria José ; Lucia, Alejandro ; Provencio, Mariano

Immunotherapies, such as checkpoint blockade of programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1), have resulted in unprecedented improvements in survival for patients with lung cancer. Nonetheless, not all patients benefit equally and many issues remain unresolved, including the mechanisms of action and the possible effector function of immune cells from non-lymphoid lineages. The purpose of this...

Development of resiquimod-loaded modified PLA-based nanoparticles for cancer immunotherapy: A kinetic study

Thauvin, Cédric ; Widmer, Jérôme ; Mottas, Inès ; Hocevar, Sandra ; Allémann, Eric ; Bourquin, Carole ; Delie, Florence

In: European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 2019, vol. 139, p. 253–261

Resiquimod (R848), a member of the imidazoquinoline family, is a Toll-like receptor 7/8 agonist with high potency for cancer immunotherapy. However, tolerance induction and adverse effects limit its development as a drug. Encapsulation in a polymer matrix can circumvent these limitations, as shown in our formerly published approach where R848 was loaded into polylactic acid (PLA)-based...
