DFMO and 5-Azacytidine Increase M1 Macrophages in the Tumor Microenvironment of Murine Ovarian Cancer

TL;DR: The combination therapy had a striking increase in survival when compared to single agent treatment, despite a smaller difference in recruited lymphocytes, and observations suggest the novel combination therapy modifies macrophage polarization in the tumor microenvironment, recruiting M1 macrophages and prolonging survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular determinants and therapeutic implications of inflammation in pancreatic cancer.

TL;DR: The current understanding of key determinants of inflammation in PDAC is described; mechanisms by which inflammation drives immune suppression; the impact of inflammation on metastasis, therapeutic resistance, and clinical outcomes; and strategies to intervene on inflammation for providing therapeutic benefit are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

TNF blockade uncouples toxicity from antitumor efficacy induced with CD40 chemoimmunotherapy.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanistic link between cytokine release and hepatotoxicity induced by anti-CD40 when combined with chemotherapy was reported and showed that toxicity can be suppressed without impairing therapeutic efficacy.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Abstract 115: A CD40 agonist potentiates the efficacy and immune-stimulatory capacity of chemotherapy in combination with a focal adhesion kinase inhibitor in a mouse model of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

TL;DR: Stone et al. as mentioned in this paper found that CD40-dependent innate immune responses can disrupt the stromal matrix that surrounds the tumor and sensitize tumors to the cytotoxic and immune-stimulatory effects of chemotherapy.
