Tumor-associated factors are enriched in lymphatic exudate compared to plasma in metastatic melanoma patients

Davide Demurtas, Melody Swartz, Romain Hamelin, Lambert Charles François Potin, Patricia Corthésy Henrioud, Natacha Anne-Sophie Bordry, Maria Anna Sofia Broggi, Léa Maillat, Alexandre Harari

Liquid biopsies allow monitoring of cancer progression and detection of relapse, but reliable biomarkers in melanoma are lacking. Because secreted factors preferentially drain to lymphatic vessels before dilution in the blood, we hypothesized that lymph sh ...

Lymphatic vessel density is associated with CD8(+) T cell infiltration and immunosuppressive factors in human melanoma

Melody Swartz, Olivier Michielin, Manuel Andreas Fankhauser, Timothy Murray, Natacha Anne-Sophie Bordry, Maria Anna Sofia Broggi, Esther Danenberg

Increased density of tumor-associated lymphatic vessels correlates with poor patient survival in melanoma and other cancers, yet lymphatic drainage is essential for initiating an immune response. Here we asked whether and how lymphatic vessel density (LVD) ...

T cell–induced CSF1 promotes melanoma resistance to PD1 blockade

Michele De Palma, George Coukos, Krisztian Homicsko, Sina Nassiri, Natacha Anne-Sophie Bordry, Esther Danenberg, Laure Tillé, Christophe Martignier

Colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) is a key regulator of monocyte/macrophage differentiation that sustains the protumorigenic functions of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). We show that CSF1 is expressed in human melanoma, and patients with metastatic m ...

Tumor lymphangiogenesis promotes T cell infiltration and potentiates immunotherapy in melanoma

Melody Swartz, Douglas Hanahan, Olivier Michielin, Krisztian Homicsko, Marcela Rincón-Restrepo, Christopher Claude Giuseppe Tremblay, Amanda Waite Lund, Laura Jeanbart, Lambert Charles François Potin, Manuel Andreas Fankhauser

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 ...
