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.

IL-6 Signaling Blockade during CD40-Mediated Immune Activation Favors Antitumor Factors by Reducing TGF-β, Collagen Type I, and PD-L1/PD-1.

TL;DR: The results suggest that LOAd713 can kill infected tumor cells and has the capacity to affect the tumor microenvironment by stimulating stellate cells and myeloid suppressors with TMZ-CD40L and IL-6R blockade.

Pancreatic stellate cells: A dynamic player of the intercellular communication in pancreatic cancer.

TL;DR: These interactions appear to promote the progression of pancreatic cancer, and anti-stroma therapies targeting PSCs are under intense investigation, which could lead to the identification of novel therapeutic targets in Pancreatic cancer.

Obstacles to T cell migration in the tumor microenvironment

TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding T cell trafficking into and within tumors are focused on and possible strategies to restore a tumor microenvironment more favorable to T cell migration and functions are discussed with a special emphasis on approaches targeting the dysregulated extracellular matrix of growing tumors.

Ping-Pong-Tumor and Host in Pancreatic Cancer Progression.

TL;DR: The state of knowledge on the PaCIC markers Tspan8, alpha6beta4, CD44v6, CXCR4, LRP5/6, LRG5, claudin7, EpCAM, and CD133, which all, but at different steps, are engaged in the metastatic cascade, are reported on.

STING Activated Tumor-Intrinsic Type I Interferon Signaling Promotes CXCR3 Dependent Antitumor Immunity in Pancreatic Cancer.

TL;DR: In this paper, the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonist activation of PDA cell inter-feron-α/β-receptor (IFNAR) signaling in systemic antitumor immune responses was evaluated.

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.
