Effects of Molecular Iodine/Chemotherapy in the Immune Component of Breast Cancer Tumoral Microenvironment

Abstract: Molecular iodine (I2) induces apoptotic, antiangiogenic, and antiproliferative effects in breast cancer cells. Little is known about its effects on the tumor immune microenvironment. We studied the effect of oral (5 mg/day) I2 supplementation alone (I2) or together with conventional chemotherapy (Cht+I2) on the immune component of breast cancer tumors from a previously published pilot study conducted in Mexico. RNA-seq, I2 and Cht+I2 samples showed significant increases in the expression of Th1 and Th17 pathwa… Show more

“…6-iodolactone, a product of molecular iodine transformation, is known to activate apoptosis [14]. Another mechanism for iodine's antitumor activity may involve its effect on activating the immune response via the Th1 pathway [15]. Additionally, iodine solutions used in cancer radiotherapy have anti-inflammatory effects on mucous membranes [16].…”

“…The most common CD molecules mentioned in the publications included in this review of breast and pancreatic cancers were CD4 and CD8, in the context of treatment ( 53 , 55 , 91 ); while others such as CD19 and CD16 were also assessed in several studies, both for treatment as well ( 85 ). In addition, CA15-3, Type 1 T helper cells (Th1), C-reactive protein (CRP), and VEGF were also used in more than three studies for breast cancer for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment ( 30 , 33 , 51 , 54 , 59 , 61 , 63 , 66 , 78 , 79 ). Other biomarkers like insulin, C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), transforming growth factor β 1(TGF-β1), and Treg-like molecule (Treg: Regulatory T cells) were also discussed in some of our reviewed publications, regarding their relevance primarily to breast cancer treatment ( 75 , 76 , 80 , 83 , 84 , 88 , 90 ).…”

“…We found that common immune checkpoints, such as PDCD1, LAG3, CTLA4, CD274 and TIGIT were highly expressed in high cuproptosis score group. It was reported that patients with high expression of TGFB1 have immunosuppressive microenvironment and are resistant to ICI treatment [ 8 - 10 ]. We found that TGFB1 expression was lower in high cuproptosis score group.…”
