With numerous successful advancements in systemic treatment of most common cancer types, brain metastasis is becoming increasingly important in the overall prognosis of cancer patients. Brain metastasis of peripheral tumor is the result of complex interplay of primary tumor, immune system and central nervous system microenvironment. Once formed, brain metastases hide behind the blood brain barrier and become inaccessible to chemotherapies that are otherwise successful in targeting systemic cancer. The approval of immune checkpoint inhibitors for several common cancers such as advanced melanoma and lung cancers brings with it the opportunity and obligation to further understand the mechanisms of immunosuppression by tumors that spread to the brain as well as the interaction between the brain environment and tumor microenvironment. In this review paper we define the central role of the immune system in the development of brain metastases. We performed a comprehensive review of the literature to outline the molecular mechanisms of immunosuppression used by tumors and how the immune system interacts with the central nervous system to facilitate brain metastasis. In particular we discuss the tumor-type-specific mechanisms of metastasis of cancers that preferentially metastasize to the brain as well as the therapies that effectively modulate the immune response, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors and vaccines.</p>","PeriodicalId":89670,"journal":{"name":"Current neurobiology","volume":"10 2","pages":"33-48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6513348/pdf/nihms-1024558.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37411478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In mammals key metabolic responses to nutritional deprivation are mediated by the transcription factor PPAR-alpha, which is activated by free fatty acids and promotes lipid metabolism while inhibiting glucose metabolism. The <i>C. elegans</i> gene <i>nhr-49</i> appears to function similarly in <i>C. elegans.</i> Here we report that protective effects of dietary restriction and inhibition of glucose metabolism to increase lifespan wild-type <i>C. elegans</i> and reduce toxicity in a polyQ model of Huntington's disease in <i>C. elegans</i> are dependent on NHR-49 and its co-activator CREB-Binding Protein (CBP). We have previously demonstrated that inhibition of <i>cbp</i> blocks protective effects of dietary restriction and blocks the molecular switch from glucose metabolism to alternative substrates. Conversely, increased glucose concentration and inhibition of <i>cbp</i> reduce lifespan and increase proteotoxicity. Lactate and inhibition of ETC complex II mimicked toxic effects of glucose on proteotoxicity whereas pyruvate and inhibition of ETC complex I protected against glucose-enhanced proteotoxicity. These results support that PPAR-alpha-like activity mediates protective effects of dietary restriction by reducing glucose metabolism via reducing production of NADH, and corroborate and extend recent studies demonstrating that PPPAR-alpha agonists increase lifespan in <i>C. elegans</i> dependent on NHR-49.</p>","PeriodicalId":89670,"journal":{"name":"Current neurobiology","volume":"9 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6390974/pdf/nihms-981894.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37173135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
