  abstract  = {Background Ovarian cancer (OvCA) tissues show abundant expression of the ectonucleotidases CD39 and CD73 which generate immunomodulatory adenosine, thereby inhibiting cytotoxic lymphocytes. Little, however, is known about the effect of adenosine on myeloid cells. Considering that tumor associated macrophages (TAM) and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) constitute up to 20 \% of OvCA tissue, we investigated the effect of adenosine on myeloid cells and explored a possible contribution of myeloid cells to adenosine generation in vitro and ex vivo. Methods Monocytes were used as human blood-derived myeloid cells. After co-incubation with SK-OV-3 or OAW-42 OvCA cells, monocyte migration was determined in transwell assays. For conversion into M2-polarized "TAM-like" macrophages, monocytes were co-incubated with OAW-42 cells. Ex vivo TAMs were obtained from OvCA ascites. Macrophage phenotypes were investigated by intracellular staining for IL-10 and IL-12. CD39 and CD73 expression were assessed by FACS analysis both on in vitro-induced TAM-like macrophages and on ascites-derived ex situ-TAMs. Myeloid cells in solid tumor tissue were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Generation of biologically active adenosine by TAM-like macrophages was measured in luciferase-based reporter assays. Functional effects of adenosine were investigated in proliferation-experiments with CD4+ T cells and specific inhibitors. Results When CD39 or CD73 activity on OvCA cells were blocked, the migration of monocytes towards OvCA cells was significantly decreased. In vivo, myeloid cells in solid ovarian cancer tissue were found to express CD39 whereas CD73 was mainly detected on stromal fibroblasts. Ex situ-TAMs and in vitro differentiated TAM-like cells, however, upregulated the expression of CD39 and CD73 compared to monocytes or M1 macrophages. Expression of ectonucleotidases also translated into increased levels of biologically active adenosine. Accordingly, co-incubation with these TAMs suppressed CD4+ T cell proliferation which could be rescued via blockade of CD39 or CD73. Conclusion Adenosine generated by OvCA cells likely contributes to the recruitment of TAMs which further amplify adenosine-dependent immunosuppression via additional ectonucleotidase activity. In solid ovarian cancer tissue, TAMs express CD39 while CD73 is found on stromal fibroblasts. Accordingly, small molecule inhibitors of CD39 or CD73 could improve immune responses in ovarian cancer.},

  abstract  = {The ectonucleotidases CD39 and CD73 degrade ATP to adenosine which inhibits immune responses via the \(A_{2A}\) adenosine receptor (ADORA2A) on T and NK cells. The current study investigates the potential therapeutic use of the specific anti CD39- and anti CD73-antibodies A1 (CD39) and 7G2 (CD73) as these two ectonucleotidases are overexpressed in ovarian cancer (OvCA). As expected, NK cell cytotoxicity against the human ovarian cancer cell lines OAW-42 or SK-OV-3 was significantly increased in the presence of A1 or 7G2 antibody. While this might partly be due to antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, a luciferase-dependent assay for quantifying biologically active adenosine further showed that A1 and 7G2 can inhibit CD39 and CD73-dependent adenosine-generation. In turn, the reduction in adenosine levels achieved by addition of A1 and 7G2 to OAW-42 or SK-OV-3 cells was found to de-inhibit the proliferation of \(CD4^+\) T cells in coculture with OvCA cells. Likewise, blocking of CD39 and CD73 on OvCA cells via A1 and 7G2 led to an increased cytotoxicity of alloreactive primed T cells. Thus, antibodies like A1 and 7G2 could improve targeted therapy in ovarian cancer not only by specifically labeling overexpressed antigens but also by blocking adenosine-dependent immune evasion in this immunogenic malignancy.},

  abstract  = {Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Every year, nearly 1.4 million new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed, and about 450.000 women die of the disease. Approximately 15-25\% of breast cancer cases exhibit increased quantities of the trans-membrane receptor tyrosine kinase human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) on the tumor cell surface. Previous studies showed that blockade of this HER2 proto-oncogene with the antibody trastuzumab substantially improved the overall survival of patients with this aggressive type of breast cancer. Recruitment of natural killer (NK) cells and subsequent induction of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) contributed to this beneficial effect. We hypothesized that antibody binding to HER2-positive breast cancer cells and thus ADCC might be further improved by synergistically applying two different HER2-specific antibodies, trastuzumab and pertuzumab. We found that tumor cell killing via ADCC was increased when the combination of trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and NK cells was applied to HER2-positive breast cancer cells, as compared to the extent of ADCC induced by a single antibody. Furthermore, a subset of \(CD44^{high}CD24^{low}HER2^{low}\) cells, which possessed characteristics of cancer stem cells, could be targeted more efficiently by the combination of two HER2-specific antibodies compared to the efficiency of one antibody. These in vitro results demonstrated the immunotherapeutic benefit achieved by the combined application of trastuzumab and pertuzumab. These findings are consistent with the positive results of the clinical studies, CLEOPATRA and NEOSPHERE, conducted with patients that had HER2-positive breast cancer. Compared to a single antibody treatment, the combined application of trastuzumab and pertuzumab showed a stronger ADCC effect and improved the targeting of breast cancer stem cells.},

  abstract  = {Zur Identifizierung geeigneter Routinemarker f{\"u}r die Prognose von Ependymompatienten f{\"u}hrten wir immunhistochemische Untersuchungen und statistische Auswertungen an Ependymomen und Daten von 32 Erwachsenen und 23 p{\"a}diatrischen Patienten durch. Davon wurden bei drei Tumoren auch Rezidive untersucht, so dass insgesamt 59 Ependymome in die Untersuchung eingeschlossen wurden. Im Einzelnen handelte es sich um 11 myxopapill{\"a}re Ependymome, 6 Subependymome, 19 Ependymome und 23 anaplastische Ependymome. Die gr{\"o}ßten Fallgruppen bildeten p{\"a}diatrische Patienten unter drei Jahren und Erwachsene zwischen 50 und 70 Jahren. Bei Kindern war mit 45,8\% die infratentorielle, bei Erwachsenen mit 65\% die spinale Tumorlokalisation am h{\"a}ufigsten. Die untersuchten spinalen Ependymome entsprachen zu gleichen Teilen myxopapill{\"a}ren Ependymomen WHO Grad I und Ependymomen WHO Grad II. In supratentorieller Lage fanden sich mit 67\% {\"u}berwiegend anaplastische Ependymome WHO Grad III. Auch bei den infratentoriell gelegenen Ependymomen waren mit 63\% die Mehrzahl anaplastische Ependymome, daneben fanden sich 29,6\% Ependymome WHO Grad II. Beim Vergleich des von uns definierten und bestimmten Ki67-Scores als Zeichen f{\"u}r die Ependymomproliferation und der immunhistochemischen Positivit{\"a}t f{\"u}r HCK fiel nach Anwendung des Chi-Quadrat-Tests mit p=0,067 ein deutlicher Trend zu schw{\"a}cherer punktf{\"o}rmiger Positivit{\"a}t bei h{\"o}herem Ki67-Score auf. Dieser Trend setzte sich in der Erwachsenengruppe separat fort, w{\"a}hrend er in der Kindergruppe allein nicht nachweisbar war. In der Erwachsenengruppe war mit 28\% ein deutlicher Anteil myxopapill{\"a}rer Ependymome vorhanden, welche bei den Kindern nur 8\% ausmachten.M{\"o}glicherweise spielt die ver{\"a}nderte HCK-Expression in der Subgruppe der myxopapill{\"a}ren Ependymome eine Rolle. Unsere Untersuchungen zeigten außerdem mit p=0,057 einen deutlichen Trend zu l{\"a}ngerem {\"U}berleben bei immunohistochemischer DBC1-Negativit{\"a}t. Die Multivarianzanalyse mittels Cox-Regression wies eine Positivit{\"a}t f{\"u}r DBC1 als unabh{\"a}ngigen Risikofaktor f{\"u}r eine k{\"u}rzere {\"U}berlebenszeit nach. Des Weiteren konnte eine mit p=0,013 signifikante Korrelation zwischen immunhistochemischer Positivit{\"a}t f{\"u}r DBC1 und h{\"o}herem Ki67-Score gezeigt werden. Auch mit h{\"o}herem WHO-Grad korrelierte die DBC1-Positivit{\"a}t mit p=0,009. Besonders infratentoriell gelegene Ependymome zeigten DBC1-Reaktivit{\"a}t. Hier treten bekannterweise h{\"a}ufiger anaplastische Ependymome mit h{\"o}herem Proliferationsindex auf. Unsere Ergebnisse legen somit die Eignung des Markers DBC1 als immunhistochemische Routineuntersuchung f{\"u}r die Beurteilung der vom Resektionsstatus unabh{\"a}ngigen Prognose und {\"U}berlebenszeit von Ependymompatienten nahe.},
