Metabolic Symbiosis and immunomodulation: How Tumor Cell-Derived Lactate May Disturb innate and Adaptive immune Responses

TL;DR: Recent advances regarding the deleterious effect of high concentrations of lactate on the tumor-infiltrating immune cells are discussed, which might characterize an innovative way of understanding the tumors-immune privilege.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of glycosphingolipid biosynthesis reverts multidrug resistance by differentially modulating ABC transporters in chronic myeloid leukemias.

TL;DR: Overall, UGCG inhibition impaired the malignant glycophenotype of MDR leukemias, which typically overcomes drug resistance through distinct mechanisms, and this work sheds light on the involvement of GSL in chemotherapy failure, and its findings suggest that targeted GSL modulation could help manage MDR haemorrhage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Theft and Reception of Host Cell's Sialic Acid: Dynamics of Trypanosoma Cruzi Trans-sialidases and Mucin-Like Molecules on Chagas' Disease Immunomodulation.

TL;DR: The importance of mucin-like glycoproteins and both aTS and iTS for T. cruzi biology is discussed, as well as to present a snapshot of how disturbances in both parasite and host cell sialoglycophenotypes may facilitate the persistence of T.cruzi in the infected mammalian host.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional Characterization of ABCC Proteins from Trypanosoma cruzi and Their Involvement with Thiol Transport.

TL;DR: The results provide the first description of native ABCC-like activity in T. cruzi epimastigote and trypomastsigote forms, indicating that the study of the biological role for that thiol transporter is crucial to reveal new molecular mechanisms for therapeutic approaches in the Chagas disease.
