CD38 deficiency leads to a defective short-lived transcriptomic response to chronic graft-versus-host disease induction, involving purinergic signaling-related genes and distinct t... by Mercedes Zubiaur, Laura C. Terrón-Camero, Fernando Gordillo-González, Eduardo Andrés-León, Alicia Barroso-del Jesús, Luz María Canet-Antequera, María M.

“…We have also shown evidence of a distinct enrichment in pathways signatures that define processes such as Ca2+ ion homeostasis, cell division, phagosome, autophagy, senescence, cytokine/cytokine receptor interactions, Th17 and Th1/Th2 cell differentiation in Cd38-/- versus WT samples, which reflected the milder inflammatory and autoimmune response elicited in Cd38-/- mice relative to WT counterparts in response to the allogeneic challenge. …”

Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Immunosenescence: Modulation Through Interventions and Lifestyle Changes by Luca Pangrazzi, Andreas Meryk

“…At the cellular level, immunosenescence manifests as decreased production of naive T and B cells, accumulation of memory and senescent cells, thymic involution, and dysregulated cytokine production. Recent advances in molecular biology have shed light on the underlying mechanisms of immunosenescence, including telomere attrition, epigenetic alterations, mitochondrial dysfunction, and changes in key signaling pathways such as NF-κB and mTOR. …”

The “Trojan Horse” Approach to Tumor Immunotherapy: Targeting the Tumor Microenvironment by Delia Nelson, Scott Fisher, Bruce Robinson

“…The “Trojan Horse” approach of intratumoural delivery aims to promote immune-mediated destruction by inducing microenvironmental changes within the tumour at the same time as avoiding the systemic toxicity that is often associated with more “full frontal” treatments such as transfer of large numbers of laboratory-expanded tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes or large intravenous doses of cytokine. Numerous studies have demonstrated that intratumoural therapy has the capacity to minimizing local suppression, inducing sufficient “dangerous” tumor cell death to cross-prime strong immune responses, and rending tumor blood vessels amenable to immune cell traffic to induce effector cell changes in secondary lymphoid organs. …”
