Improving cancer immunotherapy via co-delivering checkpoint blockade and thrombospondin-1 downregulator

Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2023
The use of checkpoint-blockade antibodies is still restricted in several malignancies due to the modest efficacy, despite considerable success in anti-tumor immunotherapy.

Optimization of Immune Checkpoint Blockade via a Multiscale Model System [PDF]

Computational and Systems Oncology
Cancer progresses when cancer cells selectively bind to inhibitory receptors on a T cell surface, downregulating tumor immune response. One standard‐of‐care strategy to combat this process is immune checkpoint blockade.

Leukemia vaccine overcomes limitations of checkpoint blockade by evoking clonal T cell responses in a murine acute myeloid leukemia model

Haematologica, 2021
We have developed a personalized vaccine whereby patient derived leukemia cells are fused to autologous dendritic cells, evoking a polyclonal T cell response against shared and neo-antigens.

A PD-L1 Negative Advanced Gastric Cancer Patient With a Long Response to PD-1 Blockade After Failure of Systematic Treatment: A Case Report

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
BackgroundIt was widely accepted that programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive, tumor mutational burden-high (TMB-H) or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) tumor are prone to have better treatment response to immune checkpoint blockade.

PD-1 and LAG-3 blockade improve anti-tumor vaccine efficacy

OncoImmunology, 2021
Concurrent blockade of different checkpoint receptors, notably PD-1 and CTLA-4, elicits greater anti-tumor activity for some tumor types, and the combination of different checkpoint receptor inhibitors is an active area of clinical research.

Epitherapy and immune checkpoint blockade: using epigenetic reinvigoration of exhausted and dysfunctional T cells to reimburse immunotherapy response

BMC Immunology, 2020
Background Cancer cells subvert natural immunosuppression by upregulating the expression of checkpoint proteins and their ligands. For example, tumor cells expressing programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) induce immune cell tolerance to cancers, thereby ...

Synergistic immunotherapy of glioblastoma by dual targeting of IL-6 and CD40

Nature Communications, 2021
Glioblastomas are generally resistant to treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Here the authors show that IL6 blockade, in combination with a CD40 agonist, overcomes macrophage-mediated immunosuppression and sensitizes glioblastoma to immune ...

Combined immune checkpoint blockade increases CD8+CD28+PD-1+ effector T cells and provides a therapeutic strategy for patients with neuroblastoma

OncoImmunology, 2021
Immune checkpoint therapy has resulted in minimal clinical response in many pediatric cancers. We sought to understand the influence of immune checkpoint inhibition using anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies individually, in combination, and after ...

Hyperprogression: A novel response pattern under immunotherapy

Clinical and Translational Medicine, 2020
Checkpoint blockade therapy has shown significant therapeutic benefits and resulted in durable responses in patients with various tumors. However, accumulating evidence has demonstrated that 4‐29% of all patients with cancers with various histologies may
