Cancer Cells Retrace a Stepwise Differentiation Program during Malignant Progression

Douglas Hanahan, Krisztian Homicsko, Mohammad Sadegh Saghafinia, Stephan Wullschleger, Iacovos Michael, Giovanni Ciriello

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNET) comprise two molecular subtypes, relatively benign islet tumors (IT) and invasive, metastasis-like primary (MLP) tumors. Until now, the origin of aggressive MLP tumors has been obscure. Herein, using multi-omics ap ...

Biology and therapeutic targeting of tumour-associated macrophages

Michele De Palma, Tim Beltraminelli

Macrophages sustain tumour progression by facilitating angiogenesis, promoting immunosuppression, and enhancing cancer cell invasion and metastasis. They also modulate tumour response to anti-cancer therapy in pre-clinical models. This knowledge has motiva ...

Interferon lambda 3/4 polymorphisms are associated with AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma

Jacques Fellay, Patrick Taffe

Background: Kaposi's sarcoma, the most common AIDS-related cancer, represents a major public concern in resource-limited countries. Single nucleotide polymorphisms within the Interferon lambda 3/4 region (IFNL3/4) determine the expression, function of IFNL ...

Characterization of a B16-F10 melanoma model locally implanted into the ear pinnae of C57BL/6 mice

Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Esra Güç

The common experimental use of B16-F10 melanoma cells focuses on exploring their metastatic potential following intravenous injection into mice. In this study, B16-F10 cells are used to develop a primary tumor model by implanting them directly into the ear ...

Tumor lymphangiogenesis promotes T cell infiltration and potentiates immunotherapy in melanoma

Douglas Hanahan, Krisztian Homicsko, Marcela Rincón-Restrepo, Christopher Claude Giuseppe Tremblay, Melody Swartz, Amanda Waite Lund, Laura Jeanbart, Lambert Charles François Potin, Manuel Andreas Fankhauser, Sylvie Hauert, Natacha Anne-Sophie Bordry, Maria Anna Sofia Broggi, Elodie Da Costa, Olivier Michielin

In melanoma, vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) expression and consequent lymphangiogenesis correlate with metastasis and poor prognosis. VEGF-C also promotes tumor immunosuppression, suggesting that lymphangiogenesis inhibitors may be clinicall ...

Treatment of pleural malignancies by photo-induction combined to systemic chemotherapy: Proof of concept on rodent lung tumors and feasibility study on porcine chest cavities

Georges Wagnières, Michaël Bensimon, Elodie Debefve, Laurent Décosterd, Jean Yannis Perentes

Background: Low-dose, Visudyne (R)-mediated photodynamic therapy (photo-induction) was shown to selectively enhance tumor vessel transport causing increased uptake of systemically administered chemotherapy in various tumor types grown on rodent lungs. The ...

Low-Dose Vascular Photodynamic Therapy Decreases Tumor Interstitial Fluid Pressure, which Promotes Liposomal Doxorubicin Distribution in a Murine Sarcoma Metastasis Model

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Laurent Décosterd, Jean Yannis Perentes

Solid tumors are known to have an abnormal vasculature that limits the distribution of chemotherapy. We have recently shown that tumor vessel modulation by low-dose photodynamic therapy (L-PDT) could improve the uptake of macromolecular chemotherapeutic ag ...

Photodynamic Therapy Selectively Enhances Liposomal Doxorubicin Uptake in Sarcoma Tumors to Rodent Lungs

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Elodie Debefve, Laurent Décosterd

Background: In specific conditions, photodynamic therapy (PDT) can enhance the distribution of macromolecules across the endothelial barrier in solid tumors. It was recently postulated that tumor neovessels were more responsive to PDT than the normal vascu ...

Biophysical Regulation of Lymphatic Vessel Function

Dimana Miteva

Lymphatic capillaries collect interstitial fluid and dendritic cells from the periphery and deliver them to the lymph nodes for immune surveillance and tolerance maintenance. Upon injury and inflammation, lymphatic drainage can increase rapidly, and thus t ...

Calcineurin inhibition in splenocytes induced by pavlovian conditioning

Raphaël Doenlen

Pavlovian conditioning is one of the major neurobiological mechanisms of placebo effects, potentially influencing the course of specific diseases and the response to a pharmacological therapy, such as immunosuppression. In our study with behaviorally condi ...
