Partial FAK suppression promotes tumor growth, an effect reversed by macrophage p110δ PI3K inactivation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Partial inhibition of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) can paradoxically promote tumor growth, rather than simply producing a weaker antitumor effect than that observed with strong FAK suppression. In breast cancer and melanoma models, targeting p110δ PI3K, particularly in macrophages, counteracted these tumor‐promoting effects, highlighting the importance ...

The VHL tumor suppressor at the crossroad of protein folding, aggregation, and cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Mutations, environmental stress, and chaperone dysfunction can destabilize pVHL, promoting its conversion from the native folded state into amyloid‐like assemblies. This transition may contribute to protein storage, cell dormancy, survival, and drug resistance.

High-throughput screening for optimizing adoptive T cell therapies

Experimental Hematology & Oncology
Adoptive T cell therapy is a pivotal strategy in cancer immunotherapy, demonstrating potent clinical efficacy. However, its limited durability often results in primary resistance. High-throughput screening technologies, which include both genetic and non-

Mutant p53R273H disrupts PDPK1 homodimerization and contributes to PDPK1 activation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
How mutant p53R273H drives AKT signaling is unclear. We show that p53R273H, but not wild‐type, directly binds PDPK1 via a mutation‐dependent conformational change. This interaction disrupts inhibitory PDPK1 homodimerization and enhances AKT phosphorylation.

Beyond conventional adoptive T-cell therapy

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology
Reconstitution of the T-cell compartment is essential in the treatment of several immune disorders. Similarly, individuals with hematologic malignancies who are undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation experience prolonged T-cell deficiencies, which increase their risk of infections and relapses. Various strategies for addressing T-

Engineering IL‐4 resistant proinflammatory human myeloid cells for cancer immunotherapy

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We developed a scalable workflow to generate proinflammatory human myeloid cells. CRISPR/Cas9‐edited CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells were expanded and differentiated with M‐CSF. Deletion of STAT6 or STAT6/NFKB1 enhanced macrophage proinflammatory gene expression and cytokine secretion in the presence of IL‐4 while maintaining antibody ...

Retroviral transfer of human CD20 as a suicide gene for adoptive T-cell therapy

Haematologica, 2009
The aim of adoptive T-cell therapy of cancer is to selectively confer immunity against tumor cells. Autoimmune side effects, however, remain a risk, emphasizing the relevance of a suicide mechanism allowing in vivo elimination of infused T cells.
