Journal ArticleDOI
High Levels of Exosomes Expressing CD63 and Caveolin-1 in Plasma of Melanoma Patients
Mariantonia Logozzi,Angelo De Milito,Luana Lugini,Martina Borghi,Luana Calabrò,Massimo Spada,Maurizio Perdicchio,Maria Marino,Cristina Federici,Elisabetta Iessi,Daria Brambilla,Giulietta Venturi,Francesco Lozupone,Mario Santinami,Veronica Huber,Michele Maio,Licia Rivoltini,Stefano Fais +17 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the Exotest for detection of plasma exosomes carrying tumor-associated antigens may represent a novel tool for clinical management of cancer patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of lymphocyte apoptosis by tumor cell secretion of FasL-bearing microvesicles.
Giovanna Andreola,Licia Rivoltini,Chiara Castelli,Veronica Huber,Paola Perego,Paola Deho,Paola Squarcina,Paola Accornero,Francesco Lozupone,Luana Lugini,Annarita Stringaro,Agnese Molinari,Giuseppe Arancia,Massimo Gentile,Giorgio Parmiani,Stefano Fais +15 more
TL;DR: The data provide evidence for a novel mechanism potentially operating in Fas tumor counterattack through the secretion of subcellular particles expressing functional FasL, which may form a sort of front line hindering lymphocytes and other immunocompetent cells from entering neoplastic lesions and exert their antitumor activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Proton Pump Inhibitor Pretreatment on Resistance of Solid Tumors to Cytotoxic Drugs
Francesca Luciani,Massimo Spada,Angelo De Milito,Agnese Molinari,Licia Rivoltini,Annalisa Montinaro,Manuela Marra,Luana Lugini,Mariantonia Logozzi,Francesco Lozupone,Cristina Federici,Elisabetta Iessi,Giorgio Parmiani,Giuseppe Arancia,Filippo Belardelli,Stefano Fais +15 more
TL;DR: The results open new possibilities for the treatment of drug-resistant tumors through combination strategies based on the use of well-tolerated pH modulators such as PPIs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proton Pump Inhibitors Induce Apoptosis of Human B-Cell Tumors through a Caspase-Independent Mechanism Involving Reactive Oxygen Species
Angelo De Milito,Elisabetta Iessi,Mariantonia Logozzi,Francesco Lozupone,Massimo Spada,Maria Marino,Cristina Federici,Maurizio Perdicchio,Paola Matarrese,Luana Lugini,Anna Nilsson,Stefano Fais +11 more
TL;DR: The proapoptotic activity of PPI was consistent with a clear inhibition of tumor growth following PPI treatment of B-cell lymphoma in severe combined immunodeficient mice, which further supports the importance of acidity and pH gradients in tumor cell homeostasis and suggests new therapeutic approaches based on PPI.
Journal ArticleDOI
pH-dependent antitumor activity of proton pump inhibitors against human melanoma is mediated by inhibition of tumor acidity.
Angelo De Milito,Rossella Canese,Maria Marino,Martina Borghi,Manuela Iero,Antonello Villa,Giulietta Venturi,Francesco Lozupone,Elisabetta Iessi,Mariantonia Logozzi,Pamela Della Mina,Mario Santinami,Monica Rodolfo,Franca Podo,Licia Rivoltini,Stefano Fais +15 more
TL;DR: Preclinical evidence supporting the use of PPI as novel therapeutic strategy for melanoma is shown, providing the proof of concept that PPI target human melanoma modifying tumor pH gradients.
