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.

Pancreatic Cancer: "A Riddle Wrapped in a Mystery inside an Enigma".

TL;DR: A major new understanding is the recognition that PDAC should be considered a composite of tumor cells, as well as pancreatic stellate cells, immune cells, and extracellular matrix, and therapeutic innovations may be needed to address them individually.

FOXP3+ Lymphocyte Density in Pancreatic Cancer Correlates with Lymph Node Metastasis

TL;DR: FOXP3+ lymphocyte density in primary tumor tissue in patients with pancreatic cancer correlates with lymph node metastasis, with lymph nodes containing metastases having higher FOXP3- lymphocyte densities than do negative lymph nodes.

Cancer-Associated Fibroblast Mediated Inhibition of CD8+ Cytotoxic T Cell Accumulation in Tumours: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the interactions between CAFs and cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, and on how these interactions affect T cell recruitment, infiltration and function in the tumour.

A PD-L2-based immune marker signature helps to predict survival in resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

TL;DR: PD-L2 was expressed in 71.5% of PDAC samples and showed strong correlations with CD3+, CD8+ T cells and FOXP3+ regulatory T cell densities, and was also showed associated with TGF-β2 and other immune molecules based on bioinformatics analysis.

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.
