Abstract
T-cell lymphomas (TCL) are a heterogeneous group of aggressive clinical lymphoproliferative disorders with considerable clinical, morphological, immunophenotypic, and genetic variation, including ~10-15% of all lymphoid neoplasms. Several evidences indicate an important role of the non-neoplastic microenvironment in promoting both tumor growth and dissemination in T cell malignancies. Thus, dysregulation of integrin expression and activity is associated with TCL survival and proliferation. We found that thyroid hormones acting via the integrin αvβ3 receptor are crucial factors in tumor microenvironment (TME) affecting the pathophysiology of TCL cells. Specifically, TH-activated αvβ3 integrin signaling promoted TCL proliferation and induced and an angiogenic program via the up-regulation of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This was observed both on different TCL cell lines representing the different subtypes of human hematological malignancy, and in preclinical models of TCL tumors xenotransplanted in immunodeficient mice as well. Moreover, development of solid tumors by inoculation of murine TCLs in syngeneic hyperthyroid mice, showed increased tumor growth along with increased expression of cell cycle regulators. The genomic or pharmacological inhibition of integrin αvβ3 decreased VEGF production, induced TCL cell death and decreased in vivo tumor growth and angiogenesis. Here, we review the non-genomic actions of THs on TCL regulation and their contribution to TCL development and evolution. These actions not only provide novel new insights on the endocrine modulation of TCL, but also provide a potential molecular target for its treatment.

Thyroid hormones and their membrane receptors as therapeutic targets for T cell lymphomas. Pharmacol Res 2016; 109:55-63.

Abstract
Thyroid hormones (THs) are important regulators of metabolism, differentiation and cell proliferation. They can modify the physiology of human and murine T cell lymphomas (TCL). These effects involve genomic mechanisms, mediated by specific nuclear receptors (TR), as well as nongenomic mechanisms, that lead to the activation of different signaling pathways through the activation of a membrane receptor, the integrin αvβ3. Therefore, THs are able to induce the survival and growth of TCL. Specifically, the signaling induced by THs through the integrin αvβ3 activates proliferative and angiogenic programs, mediated by the regulation of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The genomic or pharmacologic inhibition of integrin αvβ3 reduces the production of VEGF and induces cell death both in vitro and in xenograft models of human TCL. Here we review the mechanisms involved in the modulation of the physiology of TCL induced by THs, the analysis of the interaction between genomic and nongenomic actions of THs and their contribution to T cell lymphomagenesis. These actions of THs suggest a novel mechanism for the endocrine modulation of the physiopathology of TCL and they provide a potential molecular target for its treatment.

Abstract
Targeting of tumor metabolism is emerging as a novel therapeutic strategy against cancer. Dichloroacetate (DCA), an inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK), has been shown to exert a potent tumoricidal action against a variety of tumor cells. The main mode of its antineoplastic action implicates a shift of glycolysis to oxidative metabolism of glucose, leading to generation of cytotoxic reactive oxygen intermediates. However, the effect of DCA on tumor microenvironment, which in turn regulates tumor cell survival; remains speculative to a large extent. It is also unclear if DCA can exert any modulatory effect on the process of hematopoiesis, which is in a compromised state in tumor-bearing hosts undergoing chemotherapy. In view of these lacunas, the present study was undertaken to investigate the so far unexplored aspects with respect to the molecular mechanisms of DCA-dependent tumor growth retardation and chemosensitization. BALB/c mice were transplanted with Dalton's lymphoma (DL) cells, a T cell lymphoma of spontaneous origin, followed by administration of DCA with or without cisplatin. DCA-dependent tumor regression and chemosensitization to cisplatin was found to be associated with altered repertoire of key cell survival regulatory molecules, modulated glucose metabolism, accompanying reconstituted tumor microenvironment with respect to pH homeostasis, cytokine balance and alternatively activated TAM. Moreover, DCA administration also led to an alteration in the MDR phenotype of tumor cells and myelopoietic differentiation of macrophages. The findings of this study shed a new light with respect to some of the novel mechanisms underlying the antitumor action of DCA and thus may have immense clinical applications.

Abstract
Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory drug demonstrated to possess a tremendous anticancer potential. As progression of some tumors is influenced by sex hormones, we investigated if the antineoplastic action of aspirin shows gender dependence. Using a murine model of T-cell lymphoma, the present investigation was undertaken to study if the antitumor actions of aspirin against lymphoma cells display gender dimorphism. The findings of the present investigation indicate that aspirin administration to male and female tumor-bearing hosts resulted in gender dependent differential tumor growth retardation. Such gender dichotomy of aspirin's antitumor action was associated with a differential impact on cell cycle progression and expression of cell survival regulatory molecules. Aspirin administration was also found to modulate crucial parameters of tumor microenvironment, including contents of glucose, lactate and cell growth regulatory cytokines, in a gender specific manner. Aspirin was found to reverse estrogen-dependent augmentation of tumor cell survival in vitro. Taken together the results of the present study suggest that the antineoplastic action of aspirin is gender-dependent and should be considered in designing of gender-specific therapeutic applications of aspirin.

Anti-neoplastic action of aspirin against a T-cell lymphoma involves an alteration in the tumour microenvironment and regulation of tumour cell survival. Biosci Rep 2011; 32:91-104.

Abstract
The present study explores the potential of the anti-neoplastic action of aspirin in a transplantable murine tumour model of a spontaneously originated T-cell lymphoma designated as Dalton's lymphoma. The antitumour action of aspirin administered to tumour-bearing mice through oral and/or intraperitoneal (intratumoral) routes was measured via estimation of survival of tumour-bearing mice, tumour cell viability, tumour progression and changes in the tumour microenvironment. Intratumour administration of aspirin examined to assess its therapeutic potential resulted in retardation of tumour progression in tumour-bearing mice. Oral administration of aspirin to mice as a prophylactic measure prior to tumour transplantation further primed the anti-neoplastic action of aspirin administered at the tumour site. The anti-neoplastic action of aspirin was associated with a decline in tumour cell survival, augmented induction of apoptosis and nuclear shrinkage. Tumour cells of aspirin-treated mice were found arrested in G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle and showed nuclear localization of cyclin B1. Intratumoral administration of aspirin was accompanied by alterations in the biophysical, biochemical and immunological composition of the tumour microenvironment with respect to pH, level of dissolved O2, glucose, lactate, nitric oxide, IFNγ (interferon γ), IL-4 (interleukin-4), IL-6 and IL-10, whereas the TGF-β (tumour growth factor-β) level was unaltered. Tumour cells obtained from aspirin-treated tumour-bearing mice demonstrated an altered expression of pH regulators monocarboxylate transporter-1 and V-ATPase along with alteration in the level of cell survival regulatory molecules such as survivin, vascular endothelial growth factor, heat-shock protein 70, glucose transporter-1, SOCS-5 (suppressor of cytokine signalling-5), HIF-1α (hypoxia-inducible factor-1α) and PUMA (p53 up-regulated modulator of apoptosis). The study demonstrates a possible indirect involvement of the tumour microenvironment in addition to a direct but limited anti-neoplastic action of aspirin in the retardation of tumour growth.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are being considered for antineoplastic therapeutic regimens due to their ability to reverse H(+) homeostasis in tumor microenvironment and induce tumor cell death. In order to explore additional mechanism(s) underlying antitumor action of PPI, the present investigation was undertaken to investigate the effect of a PPI pantoprazole (PPZ) on the activation of tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) to tumoricidal state in a murine model of a transplantable T cell lymphoma of spontaneous origin growing in ascitic form. In vivo administration of PPZ to tumor-bearing mice resulted in an enhanced TAM recruitment in tumor microenvironment with M1 macrophage phenotype and augmented activation of TAM to tumoricidal state along with expression of tumor cytotoxic molecules. The study also demonstrates that TAM activating action of PPZ is of indirect nature mediated via its antitumor activity, reversal of tumor-induced immunosuppression and a consequent shift of cytokine balance in the tumor microenvironment favoring polarization of macrophages to M1 type. The study further shows that adoptive transfer of TAM harvested from PPZ-administered tumor-bearing hosts causes an efficient retardation of tumor growth. Possible mechanisms and significance of these observations with respect to the designing of antitumor therapy using PPI are discussed.

Abstract
Mechanisms underlying tumor growth retarding effect of proton pump inhibitor pantoprazole (PPZ) on a murine T cell lymphoma, designated as Dalton's lymphoma (DL), were investigated. In vivo administration of PPZ to tumor-bearing mice resulted in retardation of tumor progression owing to an inhibition of tumor cell survival and augmented apoptosis. An alteration in the parameters of tumor microenvironment and modulation in the expression of cell growth regulatory molecules is indicated to be involved in PPZ-dependent tumor growth retardation. These findings will help in optimizing therapeutic strategies against cancer using PPZ.
