Aberrant expression of adhesion molecules by Sézary cells: functional consequences under physiologic shear stress conditionsS T Hwang
Dermatology Branch, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Maryland 20892 1908, USA
J Invest Dermatol 116:466-70. 2001..We propose a mechanism by which the upregulated expression of L-selectin and L-selectin ligands may partially compensate for altered LFA-1 function...
Mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndromeSam T Hwang
Dermatology Branch, Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, USA
Lancet 371:945-57. 2008....
Mast cells migrate, but do not degranulate, in response to fractalkine, a membrane-bound chemokine expressed constitutively in diverse cells of the skinE J Papadopoulos
Dermatology Branch, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD 20892 1908, USA
Eur J Immunol 30:2355-61. 2000..Thus, CX3CR1 is expressed by MC and effectively mediates chemotaxis without inducing degranulation. We propose that the constitutive expression of FK on certain cells in the skin may be a factor in the tissue-specific homing of MC...
Mechanisms of T-cell homing to skinS T Hwang
Dermatology Branch, Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD, USA
Adv Dermatol 17:211-41. 2001..Close cooperation between the pharmaceutical industry and basic scientists will hopefully lead to the evolution of such compounds and toward more effective treatment of inflammatory skin diseases...
Cutting edge: CCR4 mediates antigen-primed T cell binding to activated dendritic cellsM Wu
Dermatology Branch, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
J Immunol 167:4791-5. 2001..Our results demonstrate that DC-derived CCL22 induces rapid binding of activated T cells under dynamic conditions and that Ag-primed and naive T cells fundamentally differ with respect to chemokine-dependent binding to DC...
Fractalkine, a CX3C chemokine, is expressed by dendritic cells and is up-regulated upon dendritic cell maturationE J Papadopoulos
Dermatology Branch, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, USA
Eur J Immunol 29:2551-9. 1999....
Expression of CC chemokine receptor-7 and regional lymph node metastasis of B16 murine melanomaH E Wiley
Dermatology Branch, Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
J Natl Cancer Inst 93:1638-43. 2001..CONCLUSION: Expression of a single chemokine receptor gene, CCR7, increased B16 cell metastasis to draining lymph nodes, suggesting that cancer cells may co-opt normal mechanisms of lymph node homing during metastasis...
Differentiation of tumour-stage mycosis fungoides, psoriasis vulgaris and normal controls in a pilot study using serum proteomic analysisE W Cowen
Dermatology Branch, Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Br J Dermatol 157:946-53. 2007..The resultant 'proteomic signature' has been used to differentiate benign and malignant diseases, enable disease prognosis, and monitor response to therapy...
CCR7 regulates B16 murine melanoma cell tumorigenesis in skinLei Fang
Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Maryland, USA
J Leukoc Biol 84:965-72. 2008..IFN- and CXCL10 were reduced 35- and sixfold, respectively, in CCR7-B16 cell tumors (vs. control tumors). Thus, CCR7 expression enhances tumorigenesis in addition to facilitating LN metastasis...
Small numbers of residual tumor cells at the site of primary inoculation are critical for anti-tumor immunity following challenge at a secondary locationTakashi Kakinuma
Dermatology Branch, Center for Cancer Research, NCI, Bldg 10 Rm12N246, 10 Center Dr, Bethesda, MD 20892 1908, USA
Cancer Immunol Immunother 56:1119-31. 2007..These studies suggest that small numbers of tumor cells (possibly regulated by CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells expressing Foxp3) are required for effective host anti-tumor responses at alternate inoculation sites...
Intralymphatic dendritic cell vaccination induces tumor antigen-specific, skin-homing T lymphocytesAmelia Grover
Surgery Branch and Dermatology Branch, National Cancer Institute/NIH, 10 Center Drive, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Clin Cancer Res 12:5801-8. 2006....
Skin reactions in a subset of patients with stage IV melanoma treated with anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 monoclonal antibody as a single agentSamer H Jaber
Dermatology Branch, Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD 20892-1908, USA
Arch Dermatol 142:166-72. 2006..Specific features of skin eruption associated with anti-CTLA-4 resemble those described for maculopapular reactions to medications...
Central memory self/tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells confer superior antitumor immunity compared with effector memory T cellsChristopher A Klebanoff
Howard Hughes Medical Institute, National Institutes of Health Research Scholars Program, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 102:9571-6. 2005..Thus, tumor-reactive CD8+ T cell populations with the phenotypic and functional attributes of T(CM) may be superior to T(EM)/effector T cells for adoptive immunotherapies using concomitant tumor-antigen vaccination...
