Targeting the aging of tumor-associated neutrophils in lung cancer
Neutrophils are leukocytes that play a key role in innate immunity. Their mode of action in case of infection is well described, but their impact in different chronic diseases, such as cancer, remains unclear. Nevertheless, recent publications describe neu ...
EPFL2024Bcl-xL targeting eliminates ageing tumor-promoting neutrophils and inhibits lung tumor growth
Freddy Radtke, Nadine Fournier, Etienne Meylan, Justine Pascual, Amber Dawn Bowler, Anita Bodac, Vincent Roh
Elevated peripheral blood and tumor-infiltrating neutrophils are often associated with a poor patient prognosis. However, therapeutic strategies to target these cells are difficult to implement due to the life-threatening risk of neutropenia. In a genetica ...
Springernature2024Monocyte-derived macrophages aggravate pulmonary vasculitis via cGAS/STING/IFN-mediated nucleic acid sensing
Kessler et al. identify aberrant DNA recognition by cGAS/STING and IFN-I production by inflammatory macrophages as a driver of severe ANCA-associated vasculitis. Pharmacological interventions blocking this pathway ameliorate disease and accelerate recovery ...
ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS2022Durable and controlled depletion of neutrophils in mice
Etienne Meylan, Julien Robert Rémi Faget, Gael Luis Boivin, Caroline Anne-Lyse Contat, Jessica Christine Vazquez, Justine Pascual, Pierre-Benoit Bernard Ancey, Aspasia Gkasti
Neutrophils are an essential part of the innate immune system. To study their importance, experimental studies often aim to deplete these cells, generally by injecting anti-Ly6G or anti-Gr1 antibodies. However, these approaches are only partially effective ...
2020Hookworms Evade Host Immunity by Secreting a Deoxyribonuclease to Degrade Neutrophil Extracellular Traps
Arne Seitz, Romain Guiet, Nicola Harris, Beatrice Volpe, Tiffany Babette Angélique Bouchery, Kathleen Shah, Manuel Kulagin, Mati André Marie Moyat
Hookworms cause a major neglected tropical disease, occurring after larvae penetrate the host skin. Neutrophils are phagocytes that kill large pathogens by releasing neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), but whether they target hookworms during skin infec ...
CELL PRESS2020Human proteinase 3 resistance to inhibition extends to alpha-2 macroglobulin
Polymorphonuclear neutrophils contain at least four serine endopeptidases, namely neutrophil elastase (NE), proteinase 3 (PR3), cathepsin G (CatG), and NSP4, which contribute to the regulation of infection and of inflammatory processes. In physiological co ...
2020Neutrophils suppress tumor-infiltrating T cells in colon cancer via matrix metalloproteinase-mediated activation of TGF beta
Freddy Radtke, George Coukos, Nadine Fournier, Mauro Delorenzi, Marc-Olivier Sauvain, Amber Dawn Bowler, Markus Germann
High T-cell infiltration in colorectal cancer (CRC) correlates with a favorable disease outcome and immunotherapy response. This, however, is only observed in a small subset of CRC patients. A better understanding of the factors influencing tumor T-cell re ...
WILEY2020Tumor-Promoting Ly-6G(+) SiglecF(high) Cells Are Mature and Long-Lived Neutrophils
Myeloid cells co-expressing the markers CD11b, Ly-6G, and SiglecF can be found in large numbers in murine lung adenocarcinomas and accelerate cancer growth by fostering tumor cell invasion, angiogenesis, and immunosuppression; however, some of these cells' ...
2020The role of Snail in non-small cell lung cancer
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a developmental program frequently reactivated in cancer. It plays an important role in several aspects of tumor progression, particularly in the acquisition of invasive capacities facilitating metastasis. ...
EPFL2018Interferon lambda 3/4 polymorphisms are associated with AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma
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 ...
