Natural products and their derivatives as immune check point inhibitors: Targeting cytokine/chemokine signalling in cancer

Meenakshi Gupta et al.

Summary: Cancer immunotherapy is a widely accepted tumor treatment but faces challenges such as inflammation and single-target strategies. Natural products and medicines have shown potential in enhancing immunotherapy by improving the tumor microenvironment and targeting immune checkpoints. This review highlights the role of cytokine/chemokine signaling, different types of immunotherapy, and the use of herbal medicine-derived natural products in cancer treatment. These natural compounds have immunomodulatory activities and can be used in combination with monoclonal antibody drugs to reverse the tumor microenvironment and improve treatment outcomes.

Tillandsia usneoides Extract Decreases the Primary Tumor in a Murine Breast Cancer Model but Not in Melanoma

Paola Lasso et al.

Summary: The ethanolic extract of T. usneoides has different effects on different types of tumor cells, inhibiting the growth of 4T1 tumor but not B16-F10 tumor. By enhancing the effective antitumor immune response, this extract is able to reduce tumor size and significantly impact the tumor microenvironment.

Clinical development of metabolic inhibitors for oncology

Kathryn M. Lemberg et al.

Summary: Metabolic inhibitors have been used in oncology for many years and have gained increased recognition recently. These drugs not only target tumor cells, but also have effects on the tumor microenvironment and immune cells. This review provides an overview of small-molecule metabolic inhibitors currently in clinical development for oncology, evaluating their antitumor and microenvironment effects based on preclinical studies and ongoing clinical trials.

Screening of metabolic modulators identifies new strategies to target metabolic reprogramming in melanoma

Cecilie Abildgaard et al.

Summary: Metabolic modulation can be a potential therapeutic approach for melanoma, with two compounds enhancing the effect of the BRAF inhibitor. The combinations of these metabolic modulators led to increased production of reactive oxygen species, suggesting a role of oxidative stress in the cellular response. This study supports the use of such combination therapies in cancer treatment for metastatic melanoma patients.

Pulsed-Focused Ultrasound Slows B16 Melanoma and 4T1 Breast Tumor Growth through Differential Tumor Microenvironmental Changes

Gadi Cohen et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that non-ablative pulse focused ultrasound (pFUS) can induce differential anti-tumor immune responses in two different types of tumors, suggesting tumor-type-dependent reactions to identical pFUS sonication parameters. The study also suggests that pFUS may serve as a potential adjuvant to enhance anti-tumor responses and slow tumor growth, supporting its use in combination with ablative tumor treatments.

Natural Compounds as Metabolic Modulators of the Tumor Microenvironment

Ana S. Dias et al.

Summary: The tumor microenvironment consists of a complex interplay of malignant and non-malignant cells, immune cells, stromal cells, extracellular matrix, and soluble factors, which strongly affect tumor progression and response to therapy. Modulating the metabolism of cells in the TME has emerged as a promising strategy in anticancer therapies. Natural compounds show potential in reshaping the metabolism of stromal cells in the TME towards anti-tumoral roles.
