In recent years, therapeutics aiming to restore the
tumor suppression function of the immune system have shown impressive clinical results, but not all cancer patients benefit
from these.
Bottom Line: Bacterial load was significantly higher in pancreatic
tumor samples
from patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma compared with pancreatic tissue
from normal individuals, and in studies using mice, eliminating certain «bad» bacteria slowed the growth of pancreatic cancer, reversed immune
suppression, and upregulated the immune checkpoint protein PD1.
This suggests that treatment with IL - 15 can successfully relieve
tumor - resident killer T cells
from functional
suppression and reactivate them to kill pancreatic cancer cells.
Through its various targets, MMP1 promotes not only
tumor invasion but also breast cancer colonization to bone by mechanisms that include the release of membrane - bound EGF - like growth factors
from tumor cells, leading to activation of EGF receptor signaling and
suppression of OPG expression in osteoblasts, which in turn promotes the differentiation and activation of osteoclasts required for bone destruction and enhanced
tumor growth in the bone microenvironment (32).
