Combining inhibition of galectin-3 with and before a therapeutic vaccination is critical for the prostate-tumor-free outcome by Carolina Tiraboschi, Lucas Gentilini, Carla Velazquez, Enrique Corapi, Felipe Martín Jaworski, José Daniel Garcia Garcia, Yorfer Rondón, Anne Chauchereau, Diego José Laderach, Daniel Compagno

“…In the case of immunotherapy, tumors develop robust immune escape mechanisms that abolish any protective response, and to date why prostate cancer is one of the most resistant diseases remains unresolved.Methods By using a combination of clinical data to study the transcriptome of metastasis samples from patients with castration-refractory prostate cancer, and state of the art cellular and molecular biology assays in samples from tumor-bearing mice that have been submitted to surgical resection of the tumor before receiving a vaccination, we answered several essential questions in the field of immunotherapy for prostate cancer. We also used two different methods to inhibit the expression of galectin-3 (Gal-3) in tumor cells: a stable RNA interference method to control the expression of this galectin efficiently only in tumor cells, and low and non-cytotoxic doses of docetaxel to easily transfer our findings to clinical settings.Results Herein, we show for the first time that Gal-3 expressed by prostate tumor cells is the main immune checkpoint responsible for the failure of vaccine-based immunotherapy. …”
