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.

Immunophenotypes of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: Meta-analysis of transcriptional subtypes

TL;DR: An integrative meta‐analysis of 353 patients from four different studies to derive a PDAC classification based on immunologic parameters reveals the existence of microenvironmental interpatient heterogeneity within PDAC and could serve to drive novel therapeutic strategies in PDAC.

Effects of Radiation on the Tumor Microenvironment.

TL;DR: With increased understanding of the effects of RT on the TME, in the future it is likely that the authors will be able to personalize RT by varying the dose, site, and timing of intervention to generate the desired response to partner with immunotherapy strategies.

Co-targeting of CXCR4 and hedgehog pathways disrupts tumor-stromal crosstalk and improves chemotherapeutic efficacy in pancreatic cancer.

TL;DR: It is shown that when PC cells are co-cultured with pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) they are significantly more resistant to gemcitabine toxicity than those grown in monoculture, and the co-culture–induced chemoresistance is abrogated by inhibition of the CXCR4 and hedgehog pathways.

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.
