Tumor counterattack: fact or fiction?

Abstract

Cancer development relies on a variety of mechanisms that facilitate tumor growth despite the presence of a functioning immune system. Understanding these mechanisms may foster novel therapeutic approaches for oncology and organ transplantation. By expression of the apoptosis-inducing protein CD95L (FasL, APO-1L, CD178), tumors may eliminate tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and suppress anti-tumor immune responses, a phenomenon called "tumor counterattack". On the one hand, preliminary evidence of tumor counterattack in human tumors exists, and CD95L expression can prevent T-cell responses in vitro. On the other hand, CD95L-expressing tumors are rapidly rejected and induce inflammation in mice. Here, we summarize and discuss the consequences of CD95L expression of tumor cells and its contribution to immune escape.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Fas/Fas ligand interplay is involved in immune evasion, with neoplasms showing resistance to Fas-mediated cytotoxicity and FasL expression potentially resulting in immune effector cell apoptosis.

    “Additionally, evidence supports the involvement of Fas/Fas Ligand (FasL) interplay in immune evasion [77], with neoplasms showing resistance to Fas-mediated cytotoxicity and FasL expression potentially resulting in immune effector cells apoptosis [76,78].”
  • Cancer cells directly inhibit the immune system through molecules such as VEGF, prostaglandin E2, TGF-β, and IL-10, which suppress cytotoxic T-cell function.

    “Cancer cells also directly inhibit the immune system through molecules like vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), prostaglandin E2, transforming growth factor-β (TGF- β), and interleukin-10 (IL-10), which suppress cytotoxic T-cell function [77,78,80,81,82,83].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
