  • Targeting Innate Immunity to Treat Cancer
    cancers Editorial Targeting Innate Immunity to Treat Cancer Matthew Austin and Harriet Kluger * Yale Cancer Center, Yale School of Medicine, 333 Cedar St, WWW211B, New Haven, CT 06520, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 14 September 2020; Accepted: 16 September 2020; Published: 23 September 2020 In recent years, it has become clear that the immune system plays a critical role in rejecting malignant cells. Through the complex interplay between multiple cell types from both the adaptive and innate immune systems, immune cells are able to identify and destroy tumor cells. Multiple mechanisms of escape from immune surveillance have been characterized and are being harnessed for therapeutic benefit. Proposed mechanisms include, but are not limited to, alteration of surface antigens [1,2], down-regulation of necessary components for antigen presentation [3], secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines by tumor cells or cells in the tumor micro-environment [4], and upregulation of expression of immune inhibitory molecules [5]. Drugs that target these immune-evasion mechanisms and successfully re-invigorate the immune response include inhibitors of PD-1, its ligand PDL-1, and CTLA-4, all of which have dramatically revolutionized cancer care [6–8]. Other classes of immune therapies that have been approved by the food and drug administration include CAR-T and natural killer (NK) cellular therapies [9], cytokine therapies [10], oncolytic viruses [11] and dendritic cell therapies, such as sipuleucel-T [12]. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, which are thought to primarily work by activation of cytotoxic T cells [13], are the most widely used; however, they are only active in a subset of cancer patients.

  • Immune Cell Migration in Inflammation: Present and Future Therapeutic Targets
    REVIEW DAMPENING INFLAMMATION Immune cell migration in inflammation: present and future therapeutic targets Andrew D Luster1, Ronen Alon2 & Ulrich H von Andrian3 The burgeoning field of leukocyte trafficking has created new and exciting opportunities in the clinic. Trafficking signals are being defined that finely control the movement of distinct subsets of immune cells into and out of specific tissues. Because the accumulation of leukocytes in tissues contributes to a wide variety of diseases, these ‘molecular codes’ have provided new targets for inhibiting tissue-specific inflammation, which have been confirmed in the clinic. However, immune cell migration is also critically important for the delivery of protective immune responses to tissues. http://www.nature.com/natureimmunology Thus, the challenge for the future will be to identify the trafficking molecules that will most specifically inhibit the key subsets of cells that drive disease processes without affecting the migration and function of leukocytes required for protective immunity. The past three decades have witnessed an explosion of knowledge in they deploy to migrate to target tissues?

Endothelial cells assist leukocytes to extravasate and despite the variety in the specific mechanisms utilized by different leukocytes to cross different vascular beds, there is a general principle of capture, rolling, slow rolling, arrest, crawling, and ultimately diapedesis via a paracellular or transcellular route.
