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.

Obstacles Posed by the Tumor Microenvironment to T cell Activity: A Case for Synergistic Therapies

TL;DR: How the tumor and its microenvironment influences T cell trafficking and function with a focus on melanoma, and pancreatic and ovarian cancer, is discussed, and how scientific advances may help overcome these hurdles are discussed.

Lactate Regulates Metabolic and Pro-inflammatory Circuits in Control of T Cell Migration and Effector Functions.

TL;DR: A novel role of lactate is established in control of proinflammatory T cell motility and effector functions, which provides a potential molecular mechanism for T cell entrapment and functional changes in inflammatory sites that drive chronic inflammation and offer targeted therapeutic interventions for the treatment of chronic inflammatory disorders.

Stromal biology and therapy in pancreatic cancer: a changing paradigm

TL;DR: Recent data have shown that tumour-associated fibroblasts may restrain rather than promote tumour growth, reinforcing the need to critically revisit the complexity and complicity of the tumour–stroma with translational implications for future therapy and clinical trial design.

T cells from CLL patients exhibit features of T-cell exhaustion but retain capacity for cytokine production.

TL;DR: Although CLL CD8+ T cells exhibit features of T-cell exhaustion, they retain the ability to produce cytokines, and these findings also exclude CMV as the sole cause ofT-cell defects in CLL.

A Starring Role for Stellate Cells in the Pancreatic Cancer Microenvironment

TL;DR: The background and recent advances in pancreatic cancer research began to change with the identification of pancreatic stellate cells, which produce the pancreatic tumor stroma, along with important areas of future research that could improve therapy.

Pancreatic Cancer-Associated Stellate Cells Promote Differentiation of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in a STAT3-Dependent Manner

TL;DR: A novel role for PSC is identified in driving immune escape in pancreatic cancer and the evidence that STAT3 acts as a driver of stromal immunosuppression to enhance its interest as a therapeutic target is extended.

Retinoic Acid--Induced Pancreatic Stellate Cell Quiescence Reduces Paracrine Wnt-β-Catenin Signaling to Slow Tumor Progression

TL;DR: RA induces quiescence and reduces motility of PSCs, leading to reduced proliferation and increased apoptosis of surrounding pancreatic cancer cells, and RA isoforms might be developed as therapeutic reagents for pancreaticcancer.
