Activated Pancreatic Stellate Cells Sequester CD8+ T Cells to Reduce Their Infiltration of the Juxtatumoral Compartment of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

TLDR
Based on studies of human PDAC samples and KPC mice, activated PSCs appear to reduce migration of CD8(+) T cells to juxtatumoral stromal compartments, preventing their access to cancer cells.

The vitamin D analogue calcipotriol promotes an anti-tumorigenic phenotype of human pancreatic CAFs but reduces T cell mediated immunity.

TL;DR: It is found that calcipotriol reduces the tumour supportive activity of CAFs but at the same time reduces T cell effector functions, which could compromise the patients’ tumour immune surveillance.

Pancreatic cancer-derived exosomes induce apoptosis of T lymphocytes through the p38 MAPK-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress.

TL;DR: Results indicate that pancreatic cancer cells secrete exosomes, which are taken up by T lymphocytes to activate p38 MAPK, and then induce ER stress‐mediated apoptosis, ultimately causing immunosuppression.

Lactate transporters as therapeutic targets in cancer and inflammatory diseases.

TL;DR: The therapeutic potential of targeting lactate transporters and drugs that are already in clinical use for cancer and the opportunity to develop new therapeutics for inflammation and cancer are discussed.

New avenues for improving pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) treatment: Selective stroma depletion combined with nano drug delivery.

TL;DR: The effectiveness of chemotherapy in PDAC is hampered by the dynamic interaction between stroma and cancer cell, so disrupting stroma-cancer cell interaction to reduce tumor progression and promote apoptosis is identified as the new direction of treatment for PDAC.

Cancer Immunoediting: Integrating Immunity’s Roles in Cancer Suppression and Promotion

TL;DR: A unifying conceptual framework called “cancer immunoediting,” which integrates the immune system’s dual host-protective and tumor-promoting roles is discussed.

Intratumoral T cells, recurrence, and survival in epithelial ovarian cancer.

TL;DR: The presence of intratumoral T cells correlates with improved clinical outcome in advanced ovarian carcinoma and was associated with increased expression of interferon-gamma, interleukin-2, and lymphocyte-attracting chemokines within the tumor.
