Cytotoxic T Cells-mediated Immune Response01:27

Cytotoxic T Cells-mediated Immune Response

8.3K
Cytotoxic T cells are a vital component of the immune system. They have the remarkable ability to identify and target antigens on infected or abnormal cells. These antigens often originate from intracellular pathogens such as viruses or abnormal proteins cancer cells produce.
Immunological surveillance is the ability of immune cells to monitor and eliminate infected cells with intracellular pathogens, neoplastically transformed cells, and cells with non-self antigens. Cytotoxic T cells and NK...

Overview of Cell Death

11.2K
Cell death is an essential process where the body gets rid of old or damaged cells. Cell proliferation and death need to be balanced, as an imbalance between the two may lead to cancer or autoimmune diseases.
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the...

Cells of the Innate Immune Response01:28

Cells of the Innate Immune Response

10.5K
The innate immune response is an immediate and non-specific response against pathogens, acting swiftly to prevent the spread of infections. The primary cells involved in this response are phagocytes and natural killer (NK) cells.
Phagocytes
Phagocytes police the peripheral tissues by removing cellular debris and responding to the invasion of foreign substances or pathogens. Many phagocytes attack and remove microorganisms even before lymphocytes detect them. The human body has two general...

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

3.1K
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

The Extrinsic Apoptotic Pathway01:17

The Extrinsic Apoptotic Pathway

9.3K
The extrinsic apoptotic pathway is initiated when extracellular death-inducing signals, such as specific cytokines, activate the death receptors expressed on the cell surface. The immune cells involved in this pathway are natural killer cells (NK cells) and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. NK cells are critical in innate immune response, while cytotoxic T-lymphocytes are associated with adaptive immune response. These cells recognize specific receptors expressed on the altered cells and activate...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Cancer cells can evade immune responses by reducing their immunogenicity. Inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) enhances cancer cell visibility to the immune system, promoting anticancer immunity.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Oncology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Anticancer immunosurveillance normally rejects early neoplastic lesions.
  • Aggressive cancers with high mutational diversity can evade immune detection.
  • Low immunogenicity is a key mechanism for cancer immune evasion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and detail the concept of immunogenic cell death (ICD).
  • To discuss the characteristics of ICD.
  • To explore the determinants of ICD.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current scientific literature on cancer immunology and cell death.
  • Detailed analysis of molecular and immunological pathways involved in ICD.
  • Discussion of operational aspects of inducing ICD.

Main Results:

  • Immunogenic cell death (ICD) involves cancer cell death pathways that activate danger signaling.
  • ICD triggers the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs).
  • ICD significantly enhances the immunogenicity of dying cancer cells.

Conclusions:

  • ICD represents a promising strategy to overcome cancer immune evasion.
  • Understanding ICD determinants is crucial for developing effective cancer immunotherapies.
  • Targeting ICD can potentially restore and stabilize anticancer immunity.
