Data show (i) that blood-derived human monocytes induce tumor cell death by direct cell-to-cell contact, (ii) that VPA is a pharmacological enhancer of this cytotoxic activity, (iii) that VPA increases monocyte migration and their aggregation with MPM cells, and (iv) that the molecular mechanisms behind VPA modulation of monocytes involve a downregulation of the membrane receptors associated with the M2 phenotype, i.e., CD163, CD206, and CD209. This evidence concerns the gene MRC1 and neoplasm.
