Revving up dendritic cells while braking PD-L1 to jump-start the cancer-immunity cycle motor [PDF]

, 2016
Although it is successful for some, most melanoma patients are refractory to T cell checkpoint inhibition. In this issue of Immunity, Merad and colleagues (2016) describe a dendritic-cell-based strategy to heighten the efficacy of therapeutic anti-PD-L1 ...

Immune-Checkpoint Blockade Therapy in Lymphoma [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Tumor cells use immune-checkpoint pathways to evade the host immune system and suppress immune cell function. These cells express programmed cell-death protein 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1)/PD-L2, which bind to the programmed cell-death protein 1 (PD-1) present on cytotoxic T cells, trigger inhibitory signaling, and reduce cytotoxicity and T-cell exhaustion ...

Interleukin-34 Limits the Therapeutic Effects of Immune Checkpoint Blockade

iScience, 2020
Summary: Interleukin-34 (IL-34) is an alternative ligand to colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) for the CSF-1 receptor that acts as a key regulator of monocyte/macrophage lineage.

Checkpoint blockade in esophagogastric cancer

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2018
There are few effective treatment options for metastatic esophagogastric adenocarcinomas after progression on second‐line chemotherapy. Immune checkpoint blockade therapy is a promising treatment strategy for selected advanced esophagogastric cancer, and the PD‐1 inhibitor pembrolizumab has recently been approved for metastatic or recurrent gastric or ...

Immune checkpoint blockade in infectious diseases [PDF]

Nature Reviews Immunology, 2017
The upregulation of immune checkpoint molecules, such as programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4), on immune cells occurs during acute infections, such as malaria, as well as during chronic persistent viral infections, including HIV and hepatitis B virus.

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Persistent mutant oncogene specific T cells in two patients benefitting from anti-PD-1

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2019
Background Several predictive biomarkers are currently approved or are under investigation for the selection of patients for checkpoint blockade. Tumor PD-L1 expression is used for stratification of non-small cell lung (NSCLC) patients, with tumor ...

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Potential role of immunotherapy in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer [PDF]

, 2016
Immuno checkpoint inhibitors have ushered in a new era with respect to the treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. Many patients are not suitable for treatment with epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (eg, gefitinib ...
