Polarization of tumor-associated macrophages by TLR7/8 conjugated radiosensitive peptide hydrogel for overcoming tumor radioresistance

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that TAMs repolarization regulated by Smac-TLR7/8 hydrogel could increase tumor necrosis factor secretion, activate antitumor immune response and effectively inhibit tumor growth.

Patterns of Immune Infiltration in HNC and Their Clinical Implications: A Gene Expression-Based Study

TL;DR: A difference in immune response may be an important driver of head and neck cancer progression and response to treatment and the deconvolution algorithm of gene expression microarray data by CIBERSOFT provides useful information about the immune cell composition of HNC patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced Radiation Sensitivity of Human Papillomavirus-Driven Head and Neck Cancer: Focus on Immunological Aspects.

TL;DR: The reported cellular and immunological factors involved in the enhanced radiation response in HPV-driven head and neck squamous cell carcinomas are discussed, focusing on the vital role of the immune response in the outcome of HNSCC radiotherapy.

Radiation-Induced Immunity and Toxicities: The Versatility of the cGAS-STING Pathway

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed how radiation therapy can modulate the immune response involved in the tumor control and side effects associated with inflammatory processes and discussed the versatile roles of tumor microenvironment components during RT, how the innate immune sensing of RT-induced genotoxicity, through the cGAS-STING pathway, might link the anti-tumor immune response, radiationinduced necrosis and radiation-induced fibrosis.

Interplay between cancer cells and M2 macrophages is necessary for miR-550a-3-5p down-regulation-mediated HPV-positive OSCC progression

TL;DR: It is found that miR-550a-3-5p suppressed the migration, invasion and EMT of HPV- positive OSCC cells dependent on decreasing M2 macrophages polarization, revealing a novel crosstalk between cancer cells and immune cells in HPV-positive OSCC microenvironment.

Human Papillomaviruses; Epithelial Tropisms, and the Development of Neoplasia

TL;DR: It appears that cellular environment and the site of infection affect viral pathogenicity by modulating viral gene expression, and changes in E6 and E7 expression are thought to account for the development of neoplasias at the endocervix, the anal and cervical transformation zones, and the tonsilar crypts and other oropharyngeal sites.

SOCS3 Deficiency Promotes M1 Macrophage Polarization and Inflammation

TL;DR: Findings collectively indicate that SOCS3 is involved in repressing the M1 proinflammatory phenotype, thereby deactivating inflammatory responses in macrophages.

Biological role of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) on cells of the myeloid lineage

TL;DR: It is intriguing to consider how evolution has directed these pathways to develop; their complexity likely mirrors the multiple functions in which cells of the monocyte/macrophage system are involved.

Opposite Effects of M1 and M2 Macrophage Subtypes on Lung Cancer Progression

TL;DR: The results suggest that M1/M2 gene expression signature may be used as a prognostic indicator for lung cancer patients, and M1- and M2-polarized subtypes may be a target of investigation of immune-modulating therapies for Lung cancer in the future.
