Abstract

In desmoplastic melanoma, tumor cells and tumor-associated fibroblasts are the major dominators playing a critical role in the fibrosis morphology as well as the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), compromising the efficacy of therapeutic options. To overcome this therapeutic hurdle, we developed an innovative chemo-immunostrategy based on targeted delivery of mitoxantrone (MIT) and celastrol (CEL), two potent medicines screened and selected with the best anticancer and antifibrosis potentials. Importantly, CEL worked in synergy with MIT to induce immunogenic tumor cell death. Here, we show that when effectively co-delivered to the tumor site at their optimal ratio by a TME-responsive nanocarrier, the 5:1 combination of MIT and CEL significantly triggered immunogenic tumor apoptosis and recovered tumor antigen recognition, thus eliciting overall antitumor immunity. Furthermore, the strong synergy benefitted the host in reduced drug exposure and side effects. Collectively, the nanocarrier-mediated chemo-immunotherapy successfully remodeled fibrotic and immunosuppressive TME, arrested cancer progression, and further inhibited tumor metastasis to major organs. The affected tumors remained dormant long after dosing stop...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Antiparasitics

Antiparasitics are medications which are indicated for the treatment of parasitic diseases. Discover the latest research on antiparasitics here.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.
