Overcoming microenvironmental resistance to PD-1 blockade in genetically engineered lung cancer models

Michele De Palma, Nadine Fournier, Bruno Torchia, Etienne Meylan, Chiara Cianciaruso, Sina Nassiri, Ioanna Keklikoglou, Ece Kadioglu, Gael Luis Boivin, Amaia Martinez Usatorre

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) with PD-1 or PD-L1 antibodies has been approved for the treatment of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, only a minority of patients respond, and sustained remissions are rare. Both chemotherapy and antiangiogenic d ...

Anti-angiogenic immunotherapy for lung cancer

Ece Kadioglu

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-associated deaths worldwide. Platinum-based chemotherapy is the most common therapeutic approach in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly for tumors that carry non-druggable activating mutation ...

Periostin Limits Tumor Response to VEGFA Inhibition

Michele De Palma, Ioanna Keklikoglou, Ece Kadioglu, Axel Bellotti

Resistance to antiangiogenic drugs limits their applicability in cancer therapy. Here, we show that revascularization and progression of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) under extended vascular-endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) blockade are depen ...

The selective Tie2 inhibitor rebastinib blocks recruitment and function of Tie2Hi macrophages in breast cancer and neuroendocrine pancreatic tumors

Michele De Palma, Ece Kadioglu

Tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells promote tumor progression by mediating angiogenesis, tumor cell intravasation and metastasis, which can offset the effects of chemotherapy, radiation, and anti-angiogenic therapy. Here, we show that the kinase switch contro ...

Dual angiopoietin-2 and VEGFA inhibition elicits antitumor immunity that is enhanced by PD-1 checkpoint blockade

Michele De Palma, Céline Wyser Rmili, Ece Kadioglu, Nicolo Rigamonti, Damya Laoui, Antonino Cassarà

Pathological angiogenesis is a hallmark of cancer and a therapeutic target. Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT2; also known as ANG2) are proangiogenic cytokines that sustain tumor angiogenesis and limit antitumor immunit ...

Cancer metastasis: Perivascular macrophages under watch

Michele De Palma, Ece Kadioglu

TIE2-expressing macrophages cluster around blood vessels and sustain tumor angiogenesis. Harney and colleagues now use live imaging of mouse mammary tumors to show that these perivascular macrophages also promote the transient opening of tumor blood vessel ...

Role of angiopoietin-2 in adaptive tumor resistance to VEGF signaling blockade

Michele De Palma, Ioanna Keklikoglou, Céline Wyser Rmili, Ece Kadioglu, Nicolo Rigamonti

Angiopoietin-2 (ANG2/ANGPT2) is a context-dependent TIE2 receptor agonist/antagonist and proangiogenic factor. Although ANG2 neutralization improves tumor angiogenesis and growth inhibition by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A signaling blockade, ...
