PPAR𝛾, PTEN, and the Fight against Cancer by Rosemary E. Teresi, Kristin A. Waite

“…Activation of PPAR𝛾 through agonists increases functional PTEN protein levels that subsequently induces apoptosis and inhibits cellular growth, which suggests that PPAR𝛾 may be a tumor suppressor. Indeed, several in vivo studies have demonstrated that genetic alterations of PPAR𝛾 can promote tumor progression. …”

NF-κB, JNK, and TLR Signaling Pathways in Hepatocarcinogenesis by Shin Maeda

“…It seems that toll-like receptors (TLRs) as well as the nuclear factor (NF)-κB, and JNK pathways are critical regulators for the production of the cytokines associated with tumor promotion. The cross-talk between an inflammatory cell and a neoplastic cell, which is instigated by the activation of NF-κB and JNKs, is critical for tumor organization. …”

Trojan-horse silk fibroin nanocarriers loaded with a re-call antigen to redirect immunity against cancer by Luca Mastracci, Patrizio Castagnola, Elia Bari, Francesca Ferrera, Tiziana Altosole, Sara Perteghella, Pierluigi Mauri, Rossana Rossi, Giulia Passignani, Martina Galati, Giuseppina Iliana Astone, Maddalena Mastrogiacomo, Daniela Fenoglio, Dario Di Silvestre, Maria Luisa Torre, Gilberto Filaci

“…Background The current challenge for immunotherapies is to generate effective antitumor immunity. Since tumor immune escape mechanisms do not impact pre-existing and consolidated immune responses, we tested the hypothesis of redirecting a pregenerated immunity to cancer: to recall a non-tumor antigen response against the tumor, silk fibroin nanoparticles (SFNs) have been selected as ‘Trojan-horse’ carriers, promoting the antigen uptake by the tumor cells.Methods SFNs have been loaded with either ovalbumin (OVA) or CpG oligonucleotide (CpG) as antigen or adjuvant, respectively. …”

Anti-PD-1 amplifies costimulation in melanoma-infiltrating Th1-like Foxp3+ regulatory T cells to alleviate local immunosuppression by Fernando Alvarez, Fan Huang, Sonia V Del Rincon, Mikhaël Attias, Tho-Alfakar Al-Aubodah, Roman Istomine, Paige McCallum, Abrahim Sleiman, Tamiko Nishimura, Yasser Riazalhosseini, Ciriaco A Piccirillo

“…Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) are the first line of treatment for many solid tumors including melanoma. PD-1 blockade enhances the effector functions of melanoma-infiltrating CD8+ T cells, leading to durable tumor remissions. …”
