The Therapeutic Effect of Anti-HER2/neu Antibody Depends on Both Innate and Adaptive Immunity

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
It is demonstrated that the mechanisms of tumor regression by anti-HER2/neu antibody therapy also require the adaptive immune response, and the addition of chemotherapeutic drugs, although capable of enhancing the reduction of tumor burden, could abrogate antibody-initiated immunity leading to decreased resistance to rechallenge or earlier relapse.

PD-L1 (B7-H1) and PD-1 pathway blockade for cancer therapy: Mechanisms, response biomarkers, and combinations

TL;DR: Evaluating several potential therapeutic response markers including the PD-L1 and PD-1 expression pattern, genetic mutations within cancer cells and neoantigens, cancer epigenetics and effector T cell landscape, and microbiota and the mechanisms of action of these markers clarify.

Irradiation and anti–PD-L1 treatment synergistically promote antitumor immunity in mice

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a close interaction between IR, T cells, and the PD-L1/PD-1 axis and a basis for the rational design of combination therapy with immune modulators and radiotherapy is established.

STING-Dependent Cytosolic DNA Sensing Promotes Radiation-Induced Type I Interferon-Dependent Antitumor Immunity in Immunogenic Tumors

TL;DR: Radiation-mediated antitumor immunity in immunogenic tumors requires a functional cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway and suggests that cGAMP treatment might provide a new strategy to improve radiotherapy.

Combining immunotherapy and targeted therapies in cancer treatment

TL;DR: Targeted therapies and cytotoxic agents also modulate immune responses, which raises the possibility that these treatment strategies might be effectively combined with immunotherapy to improve clinical outcomes.

Human breast cancer: correlation of relapse and survival with amplification of the HER-2/neu oncogene

TL;DR: Amplification of the HER-2/neu gene was a significant predictor of both overall survival and time to relapse in patients with breast cancer, and had greater prognostic value than most currently used prognostic factors in lymph node-positive disease.

Inhibitory Fc receptors modulate in vivo cytotoxicity against tumor targets.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Fc-receptor-dependent mechanisms contribute substantially to the action of cytotoxic antibodies against tumors and indicate that an optimal antibody against tumors would bind preferentially to activation Fc receptors and minimally to the inhibitory partner FcγRIIB.
