Despite matching efforts between donor and recipient, immune activation can interfere with allograft survival after transplantation if immunosuppression is not used. With both innate and adaptive responses, this is a complicated immunological process. This can lead to organ rejection, or graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), depending on the origin of the immune response. Inflammatory factors, such as chemokine receptors and their ligands, are involved in a wide variety of immunological processes, including modulating transplant rejection or GVHD, therefore, chemokine biology has been a major focus of transplantation studies. These molecules attract circulating peripheral leukocytes to infiltrate into the allograft and facilitate dendritic and T cell trafficking between lymph nodes and the graft during the allogeneic response.

The gastrointestinal mucosa is characterized by the presence of immune populations because it is susceptible to inflammatory and infectious diseases, necessitating immune surveillance. Chemokine receptors are expressed on immune cells and play a role in gastrointestinal tissue-homing, although other non-immune cells also express them for various biological functions. CCR9, CXCR3 and CXCR6 play an important role in the T cell response in inflammatory and neoplastic conditions of the gastrointestinal mucosa. However, CXCR6 could also be found in gastric cancer cells, highlighting the different roles of chemokine receptors in different pathologies. On the other hand, CCR4 and CCR8 are critical for Treg migration in gastrointestinal tissues, correlating with poor prognosis in mucosal cancers. Other chemokine receptors are also important in promoting myeloid infiltration with context-dependent roles. Further, CXCR4 and CXCR7 are also present in gastrointestinal tumor cells and are known to stimulate proliferation, migration, and invasion into other tissues, among other pro-tumorigenic functions. Determining the processes underlying mucosal immunity and creating tailored therapeutic approaches for gastrointestinal diseases requires an understanding of the complex interactions that occur between chemokine receptors and their ligands in these mucosal tissues.","PeriodicalId":14422,"journal":{"name":"International review of cell and molecular biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142189620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter explores the process by which tumors form, reviews our current understanding of PCa progression to mCRPC, and addresses the challenges of boosting anti-tumor immune responses in these tumors. It specifically discusses how chemotactic signaling affects the tumor microenvironment and its role in immune evasion and cancer progression. The chapter further examines the rationale of directly or indirectly targeting these pathways as adjuvant therapies for mCRPC, highlighting recent pre-clinical and clinical studies currently underway.

In this chapter, we review the presence and functions of chemokine receptors in the immune cells of the primary and secondary lymphoid organs. Those include bone marrow, thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, and Peyer's patches as the main components of the gut-associated lymphoid tissue. There are general groups of chemokine receptors: conventional and atypical. We will mostly cover the role of conventional chemokine receptors, which are divided into four classes (CC, CXC, CX3C, and XC). Some relevant members are CXCR4, CXCR5, CCR4 and CCR7. For example, CXCR4 is a key chemokine receptor in the bone marrow controlling from the homing of progenitor cells into the bone marrow, the development of B cells, to the homing of long-lived plasma cells to this primary lymphoid organ. CCR7 and CCR4 are two of the main players in the thymus. CCR7 along with CCR9 control the traffic of thymic seed progenitors into the thymus, while CCR4 and CCR7 are critical for the entry of thymocytes into the medulla and as controllers of the central tolerance in the thymus. CXCR4 and CXCR5 have major roles in the spleen, guiding the maturation and class-switching of B cells in the different areas of the germinal center. In the T-cell zone, CCR7 guides the differentiation of naïve T cells. CCR7 also controls and directs the entry of T cells, B cells, and dendritic cells into secondary lymphoid tissues, including the spleen and lymph nodes. As new technologies emerge, techniques such as high dimensional spectral flow cytometry or single-cell sequencing allow a more comprehensive knowledge of the chemokine receptor network and their ligands, as well as the discovery of new interactions mediating unknown and overlooked mechanisms in health and disease.","PeriodicalId":14422,"journal":{"name":"International review of cell and molecular biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142189622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the past two decades, molecular profiling technologies have been used in order to gain insight into the molecular biology of IBC and to search for possible targets for treatment. Although a gene signature that accurately discriminates between IBC and nIBC patient samples and preclinical models was identified, the overall genomic and transcriptomic differences are small and ambiguous, mainly due to the limited sample sizes of the evaluated patient series and the failure to correct for confounding effects of the molecular subtypes. Nevertheless, data collected over the past 20 years by independent research groups increasingly support the existence of several IBC-specific biological characteristics. In this review, these features are classified as established, emerging and conceptual hallmarks based on the level of evidence reported in the literature. In addition, a synoptic model is proposed that integrates all hallmarks and that can explain how cancer cell intrinsic mechanisms (i.e. NF-κB activation, genomic instability, MYC-addiction, TGF-β resistance, adaptive stress response, chromatin remodeling, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition) can contribute to the establishment of the dynamic immune microenvironment associated with IBC.

This subtype of breast cancer is known for its rapid progression and significantly lower survival rates compared to other forms of breast cancer. Despite its distinctive clinical features outlined by the World Health Organization, the histopathological characteristics of IBC remain not fully elucidated, presenting challenges in its diagnosis and treatment. Histologically, IBC tumors often exhibit a ductal phenotype, characterized by emboli composed of pleomorphic cells with a high nuclear grade. These emboli are predominantly found in the papillary and reticular dermis of the skin overlaying the breast, suggesting a primary involvement of the lymphatic vessels. The tumor microenvironment in IBC is a complex network involving various cells such as macrophages, monocytes, and predominantly T CD8+ lymphocytes, and elements including blood vessels and extracellular matrix molecules, which play a pivotal role in the aggressive nature of IBC. A significant aspect of IBC is the frequent loss of expression of hormone receptors like estrogen and progesterone receptors, a phenomenon that is still under active investigation. Moreover, the overexpression of ERBB2/HER2 and TP53 in IBC cases is a topic of ongoing debate, with studies indicating a higher prevalence in IBC compared to non-inflammatory breast cancer. This overview seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the histopathological features and diagnostic approaches to IBC, emphasizing the critical areas that require further research.","PeriodicalId":14422,"journal":{"name":"International review of cell and molecular biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140863087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oncogenic viruses, such as human papillomavirus, hepatitis virus (HBV or HCV), and Epstein-Barr virus have been shown to activate the DDR. Consequently, these DNA damage events trigger a cascade of epigenetic alterations, including changes in DNA methylation patterns, histone modifications and the expression of noncoding RNAs.

While prostate cancer is often indolent, some cases can be aggressive and evolve into metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), which is lethal. A significant subset of individuals with mCRPC exhibit germline and somatic variants in components of the DNA damage repair (DDR) pathway. Recently, PARP inhibitors (PARPi) have shown promise in treating mCRPC patients who carry deleterious alterations in BRCA2 and 13 other DDR genes that are important for the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway. These inhibitors function by trapping PARP, resulting in impaired PARP activity and increased DNA damage, ultimately leading to cell death through synthetic lethality. However, the response to these inhibitors only lasts for 3-4 months, after which the cancer becomes PARPi resistant. Cancer cells can develop resistance to PARPi through numerous mechanisms, such as secondary reversion mutations in DNA repair pathway genes, heightened drug efflux, loss of PARP expression, HRR reactivation, replication fork stability, and upregulation of Wnt/Catenin and ABCB1 pathways. Overcoming PARPi resistance is a critical and complex process, and there are two possible ways to sensitize the resistance. The first approach is to potentiate the PARPi agents through chemo/radiotherapy and combination therapy, while the second approach entails targeting different signaling pathways. This review article highlights the latest evidence on the resistance mechanism of PARPi in lethal prostate cancer and discusses additional therapeutic opportunities available for prostate cancer patients with DDR gene alterations who do not respond to PARPi.","PeriodicalId":14422,"journal":{"name":"International review of cell and molecular biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142465589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
