Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha deficiency impairs regulatory T cell functions: Possible application in the inhibition of melanoma t…
2016
International audience; Regulatory T (Treg) cells are important to induce and maintain immunological self-tolerance. Although the progress accomplished in understanding the functional mechanism of Treg cells, intracellular molecules that control the mechanisms of their suppressive capacity are still on investigation. The present study showed that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha deficiency impaired the suppressive activity of Treg cells on CD4(+)CD25(-) and CD8(+) T cell proliferation. In Treg cells, PPARα gene deletion also induced a decrease of migratory abilities, and downregulated the expression of chemokine receptors (CCR-4, CCR-8 and CXCR-4) and p27(KIP1) mRNA. Treg ce…
In vivo effects of tumor necrosis factor-α or flavone acetic acid in combination with doxorubicin on multidrug-resistant B16 melanoma
1996
Having observed that tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and doxorubicin (DXR) produce a synergistic inhibition of melanoma B16 and also of its multidrug resistant (MDR) variant in vitro, we tested whether this interaction would occur in vivo as well. C57BL/6 mice with s.c. tumors were treated with TNF or flavone acetic acid (FAA), a biological response modifier, in simultaneous or sequential combination with DXR. The agents were administered systemically. Overall, the results were negative, apart from a trend towards slight synergy, found in the chemosensitive melanoma, when TNF was given 1 or 2 days before DXR. The effects of FAA and DXR were found to be subadditive or antagonistic. However…
