TLR9 Agonists Oppositely Modulate DNA Repair Genes in Tumor versus Immune Cells and Enhance Chemotherapy Effects
30 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides expressing CpG motifs (CpG-ODN) are a Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonist that can enhance the antitumor activity of DNA-damaging chemotherapy and radiation therapy in preclinical mouse models. We hypothesized that the success of these combinations is related to the ability of CpG-ODN to modulate genes involved in DNA repair. We conducted an in silico analysis of genes implicated...
