|
TRPV1 expression was identified both at the protein and gene levels in human DCs. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The goal of the current study was to investigate the expression of transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) on human in vitro differentiated monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) and to dissect the corresponding role of TRPV1-signaling in DC-specific functions. | |||||||||||||||

|
The PSA RNA-transfected DCs were administered at three escalating dose levels. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Mature DCs express high levels of Class I and Class II molecules, altered chemokine and galectin family (Dietz et al 2000; Bax et al 2007) expression, co-stimulatory markers CD80 and CD86, and the immunoglobulin CD83 (Zhou and Tedder 1995). | |||||||||||||||

|
Furthermore, CXCL8 is a chemoattractant that will attract many different cell types expressing CXCR1 or CXCR2 including DCs [45] and the presence of CXCL8 in blood may affect their ability to exit the blood stream and affect their viability. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
DCs were generated from monocytes in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4 and subsequently transfected with PSA RNA. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Thus, the potential of RNA-transfected DCs for PCa therapy was investigated. | |||||||||||||||

|
Each patient received at least four weekly injections with 2 × 107 transfected DCs either intranodally or intradermally. | |||||||||||||||

|
In this context, Heiser et al. vaccinated PSA RNA-transfected DCs to 13 metastatic PCa patients [77]. | |||||||||||||||

| |||||||||||||||
|
In response to viruses and CpG DNA, pDCs become activated to produce IFN-? | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Of note, we did not see any correlation between tumor differentiation grade or stage and the levels of blood DCs (data not shown). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Dysfunctional DCs exist in many cancers including PDAC, where impairment of T cell stimulatory function among the MDCs has been detected [15]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Taken together, our findings indicate that CXCL8 is not directly involved in the depletion of blood DCs in PDAC or other pancreatic tumor patients but do not exclude that the recovery of DCs may take longer time than the normalization of inflammatory factors, such as CXCL8, in blood. | |||||||||||||||
