Binding of CXCL8/IL-8 to Mycobacterium tuberculosis Modulates the Innate Immune Response by Agnieszka Krupa, Marek Fol, Bozena R. Dziadek, Ewa Kepka, Dominika Wojciechowska, Anna Brzostek, Agnieszka Torzewska, Jaroslaw Dziadek, Robert P. Baughman, David Griffith, Anna K. Kurdowska

“…We have also demonstrated that association of IL-8 with M. tb molecules leads to the augmentation of the ability of leukocytes (neutrophils and macrophages) to phagocyte and kill these bacilli. In addition, we have shown that significant amount of IL-8 present in the blood of TB patients associates with erythrocytes. …”

Cancer-Associated Immune Resistance and Evasion of Immune Surveillance in Colorectal Cancer by Pietro Parcesepe, Guido Giordano, Carmelo Laudanna, Antonio Febbraro, Massimo Pancione

“…Recent works reveal that expression of immune antigens (PDL1, CD47, CD73, CD14, CD68, MAC387, CD163, DAP12, and CD15) by tumor cells “immune resistance,” combined with prometastatic function of nonmalignant infiltrating cells, may represent a strategy to overcome the rate-limiting steps of metastatic cascade through (a) enhanced interactions with protumorigenic myeloid cells and escape from T-dependent immune response mediated by CD8+ and natural killer (NK) cells; (b) production of immune mediators that establish a local and systemic tumor-supportive environment (premetastatic niche); (c) ability to survive either in the peripheral blood as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) or at the metastatic site forming a cooperative prometastatic loop with foreign “myeloid” cells, macrophages, and neutrophils, respectively. The development of cancer-specific “immune resistance” can be orchestrated either by cooperation with tumor microenvironment or by successive rounds of genetic/epigenetic changes. …”
