Ionizing radiation curtails immunosuppressive effects from cancer-associated fibroblasts on dendritic cells
Berzaghi, Rodrigo; Tornaas, Stian; Lode, Kristin; Hellevik, Turid; Martinez, Inigo Zubiavrre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-09)Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) participate actively in tumor development and affect treatment responses, by among other mechanisms, promoting an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. In contrast to normal fibroblasts, reactive CAFs secrete a myriad of immunomodulatory soluble factors at high levels, i.e. growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines, which directly influence tumor immunity and ... -
Modulation of dendritic cells phenotype and functions by irradiated and non-irradiated lung cancer fibroblasts. An in vitro study.
Tornaas, Stian (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-15)Stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) interacts with cancer cells and affect their behavior in diverse manners. In this study, we investigated in vitro the mechanisms by which non-irradiated and irradiated cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) isolated from patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) affected the phenotype and function of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (Mo-DCs) ...
