Immune Response in Melanoma: A Basis to Understand the Role of Immunotherapy with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

Abstract: RESUMO -O conhecimento do processo de evolução tumoral é essencial para compreender os alvos terapêuticos no controle da doença. A forma como o sistema imune influência o desenvolvimento e a progressão do cancro é uma questão desafiante na área da imunologia. Atualmente reconhece-se o papel paradoxal do sistema imunológico neste processo: por um lado protege contra o crescimento tumoral, destruindo células exprimindo antigénios tumorais "aberrantes", por outro pode favorecer a sua progressão, selecionando célu… Show more

“…Nivolumab, a fully human monoclonal IgG4 antibody, binds to PD-1 receptors on T cells and blocks the binding of its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, thereby releasing PD-1-mediated inhibition of the immune response 8,14,22 (Fig. 1).…”

“…Monoclonal antibodies that block immune checkpoint molecules, such as PD-1 (nivolumab and pembrolizumab) and CTLA-4 (ipilimumab), allow T cells to recognize and destroy cancer cells. 36,37 In addition to tumor regression, CPI also compromises self-tolerance, leading to the development of a broad spectrum of immune-related adverse events (irAEs).…”
