“…Since both processes are pivotal for efficient tumor cell elimination, this may describe a new strategy of tumoral escape from immune responses. Impaired leukocyte migration due to PGE 2 -mediated downregulation of CCR5 may also explain why administration of NSAIDs increases the number of immune cells in the tumor bed in patients with head and neck cancer (39). Down-regulation of CCR5 and Mac-1 was not due to toxic factors in tumor cell supernatants, since viability and MHC class I and CD86 expression levels were not affected and CD80 was only marginally affected (not shown).…”

“…As demonstrated in a recent study, the number of immune cells in the tumor infiltrate is increased after administration of indomethacin (39). Since adhesion to the endothelium is another pivotal step for leukocytes in order to leave the bloodstream, we investigated whether Tu-SN also inhibit the function of the 2-integrin Mac-1 on monocytes.…”

“…In patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma, treatment with indomethacin improved immune function and increased immune infiltrate into tumors. 46 Indomethacin was also found to improve T-cell cell responses to antigen stimulation in patient with melanoma or lung cancer. 47,48 Studies by Lang et al, have shown that use of the selective Cox-2 inhibitor, Rofecoxib, improved monocyte migration and function to levels seen in healthy controls.…”
