Constitutive and TNFα-inducible expression of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 in glioblastoma and neurospheres: Implications for CAR-T cell therapy
S. Pellegatta,Barbara Savoldo,Natalia Di Ianni,Cristina Corbetta,Yuhui Chen,Monica Patanè,Chuang Sun,Bianca Pollo,Soldano Ferrone,Francesco DiMeco,Gaetano Finocchiaro,Gianpietro Dotti +11 more
TL;DR: Overall, the constitutive and TNFα-inducible expression of CSPG4 in GBM may greatly reduce the risk of tumor cell escape observed when targeted antigens are heterogeneously expressed on tumor cells.

Method for stimulating dendritic cells and cell product thus obtained for the autologous immunotherapy of solid human tumours
TL;DR: In the ex vivo stimulation method of dendritic cells, the stimulation occurs with the lysate of tumour spheres (TS) of the solid tumours as discussed by the authors, which is the same as our ex vivo activation method.
Journal ArticleDOI
507. Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4)-Redirected T Cells Eliminate Glioblastoma-Derived Neurospheres
S. Pellegatta,Barbara Savoldo,Chuang Su,Soldano Ferrone,Gaetano Finocchiaro,Gianpietro Dotti +5 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that CSPG4 is an attractive target for CAR-Ts in GBM and that the strategy shown to be effective in mice has the potential to be translated to a clinical setting.
Journal ArticleDOI
P02.03increased counts of nk and nkt cells are associated with prolonged survival in primary glioblastoma patients treated with dendritic cell immunotherapy in combination with radio- and chemo-therapy
S. Pellegatta,Marica Eoli,Gabriele Cantini,Elena Anghileri,Carlo Antozzi,Simona Frigerio,Maria Grazia Bruzzone,Bianca Pollo,Eugenio Parati,G. Finocchiaro +9 more
TL;DR: A positive association between increased peripheral NK and NKT cells response and prolonged survival is shown and further investigations are required on possible interference of radio-chemotherapy on activation of CD8+ T cells.
