Page 3: Introduction of Tumor Immunology

Outline of Lecture Outline of Lecture TopicsTopics

• Discuss the interactions between the immune system and the cancer development, covering the following topics:

(1) Basic concepts of tumor immunology

(2) Immunosurveillance and immunoediting of cancer

(3) Mechanisms of immune evasion by tumors

(4) Cancer vaccine development Cancer

immunotherapy

(5) Inflammation & Cancer, and other topics

Page 4: Introduction of Tumor Immunology

Lectures & Paper Lectures & Paper DiscussionDiscussion

• Run the class with “Lectures” and “Paper discussion”

• Lectures deliver the basic concepts of fields.

• Paper discussion focuses on the latest articles related to specific topics.

• Research Project discussion- Choose a type of cancer as the topic of

cancer immunotherapy- Apply the knowledge from this course to

cancer treatment

Overview of Tumor Immunology

Page 9: Introduction of Tumor Immunology

How does cancer arise?

Dysregulated cell growth & proliferation => Transformation

A clone of cells expanding indefinitely => A tumor

Tumor cells => the body and cause diseases => Cancer

Page 10: Introduction of Tumor Immunology

How does cancer arise? How does cancer arise? IIII

Q: What causes dysregulated cell growth & proliferation?

• Intrinsic factors - Genetic mutations on Oncogenes & Tumor suppressor genes

• Environmental factors – Radiation, Carcinogens

• Microbial infections – Viruses (viral oncogenes) Bacteria

Page 11: Introduction of Tumor Immunology

The Strategies for Cancer The Strategies for Cancer TherapyTherapy

The best scenario – Kill all the tumor cells without destroy others in the body

1. Surgery – remove tumor cells & tissues physically 2. Radiotherapy – non-selective, strong side effect3. Chemotherapy - non-selective, strong side effect4. Gene therapy – relatively selective5. Targeted therapy - relatively selective6. Immunotherapy => manipulate an immune

response against tumor cells but not normal cells => quite selective

Page 12: Introduction of Tumor Immunology

Key Concepts in Tumor immunity

1. Tumors express Ags that are recognized as foreign by the host immune system.

2. Immune responses frequently fail to prevent the growth of tumors.

3. The immune system can be activated by external stimuli to effectively kill tumor cells and eradicate tumors.

4. Various strategies have been developing to enhance the

anti-tumor immune responses.

Page 13: Introduction of Tumor Immunology

Discovery of Immune surveillance

of tumors

Page 14: Introduction of Tumor Immunology

Discovery of Immune surveillance

of tumors1. Immune Surveillance- Macfarlane Burnet in 1950s

2. Use syngeneic mouse strain => Transplantation exp

3. Immunization w/ irradiated tumor X cells protects a syngeneic mouse w/ live X

tumor cells but not Y tumor cells.

4. Antigens expressed by tumors, termed tumor antigens.

5. Defense against tumors is mainly mediated by T cells

Examples of tumor antigens-II

Page 19: Introduction of Tumor Immunology

Tumor antigens arise by point mutations in self

proteins

Page 20: Introduction of Tumor Immunology

Tumor antigens arise by reactivated genes or overexpressed genes

Cross-priming (cross-presentation) mediated by APCs, ex. DCs

Page 22: Introduction of Tumor Immunology

Immune responses to tumors

1. Adaptive immune responses to tumors: a. CD8 CTLs are the key players on the killing effect of tumors. b. CD4 T helper cells => cytokines => CTLs c. Abs => activating complements or Ab-dep cell-med toxicity => preventing oncogenic viruses

2. Innate immune responses to tumors: a. NK cells kill many types of tumor cells that have reduced clas

s-I but express ligands for activating NK cells. b. Macrophages => Ab-med phagocytosis => Cytokines (TNF-a), ROS, & NO

Overview of Tumor Immunology

Page 25: Introduction of Tumor Immunology

Q: Why tumors still develop in the body if the immune system has the ability to recognize them?

Tumors develop many ways to escape from immune attacks

SUMMARY1. Cancer is a complex and progressive genetic disease.

2. Tumors express Ags that could be recognized by the immune system. But some tumors are weakly immunogenic and the immune system often fails to eradicate them.

3. Cancer from clinical cases usually represents the leading of cancer development over the anti-cancer immune responses.

4. The imperative issue in the field of tumor immunology is

to improve the capability of immune defenses to fight cancer.
