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.

Identification and evaluation of circulating biomarkers for pancreatic cancer and their correlation with pancreatic stromal expression

Anthony Evans
TL;DR: In this article, a glycoprotein (dubbed Liv1) was identified as a potential diagnostic biomarker in PDAC patient sera compared to patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP), a finding that was subsequently validated in an independent cohort of samples.

A Case Report on Longitudinal Collection of Tumour Biopsies for Gene Expression-Based Tumour Microenvironment Analysis from Pancreatic Cancer Patients Treated with Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Radiofrequency Ablation

TL;DR: This case study suggests longitudinal EUS-FNAB as a potential resource to study tumour and microenvironmental changes associated with RFA treatment and suggests a large sample size is required in the future to assess the efficacy and safety of the treatment and perform comprehensive statistical analysis.

The tumor–stroma ratio and the immune microenvironment improve the prognostic prediction of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the tumor microenvironment (TME) of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients in terms of the quantity and location of cluster of differentiation (CD)4+ T cells, CD8+T cells, macrophages, stromal maturity, and tumor-stroma ratio (TSR), as evaluated by immunohistochemical staining of serial whole-tissue sections.

CXCL5 knockdown attenuated gemcitabine resistance of pancreatic cancer through regulation of cancer cells and tumour stroma.

TL;DR: In this paper , the role of C-X-C motif chemokine 5 (CXCL5) in pancreatic cancer response to gemcitabine was investigated and the mechanisms involved were also explored by determining the changes in the tumour microenvironment (TME) and protein profile of the CXCL-5 KD cells using immune-staining and proteomic analysis.

Expression of PD-L1 and VISTA in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm with associated invasive carcinoma of the pancreas.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the immune microenvironment of IPMN with associated invasive carcinoma using immunohistochemistry, and compared their correlations with clinicopathologic variables and prognosis, and found that a higher number of macrophages predicted poorer prognosis.

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.
