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

“…Proteomics and systems biology showed that peritumoral treatment with either SFNs-OVA or SFNs-CpG dramatically modified tumor microenvironment with respect to the control (CTR), mainly involving functional modules and hubs related to angiogenesis, inflammatory mediators, immune function, T complex and serpins expression, redox homeostasis, and energetic metabolism. Both SFNs-OVA and SFNs-CpG significantly delayed melanoma growth/survival time, and their effect was additive.Conclusions Both SFNs-OVA and SFNs-CpG induce effective anticancer response through complementary mechanisms and show the efficacy of an innovative active immunotherapy approach based on the redirection of pre-existing immunity against cancer cells. …”
