CTLA-4 haplotype predicts HBsAg and HBcrAg levels and HBeAg seroconversion age in children with chronic HBV infection

open access: yesJHEP Reports
Background & Aim: Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) attenuates cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activation. This study was performed to examine the relationships between CTLA-4 genotypes/haplotypes, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg),

A bispecific protein capable of engaging CTLA-4 and MHCII protects non-obese diabetic mice from autoimmune diabetes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Crosslinking ligand-engaged cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) to the T cell receptor (TCR) with a bispecific fusion protein (BsB) comprised of a mutant mouse CD80 and lymphocyte activation antigen-3 (LAG-3) has been shown to attenuate TCR ...

Stromal‐Derived IL‐8 Promotes M2 Macrophage Polarization via the RhoA/MRTF‐A/SRF Transcriptional Axis to Impair CD8+ T Cell Cytotoxicity in Lung Cancer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In the recondite pulmonary neoplastic milieu, DESMIN+ cancer‐associated fibroblasts function as the paramount stromal source of IL‐8, precipitating a deleterious immunological metamorphosis by engaging CXCR2 receptors on the myeloid lineage. This paracrine stimulus triggers a mechanotransduction cascade characterized by RhoA‐dependent actin ...

The expression of CTLA-4 in hepatic alveolar echinococcosis patients and blocking CTLA-4 to reverse T cell exhaustion in Echinococcus multilocularis-infected mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the infection of Echinococcus multilocularis (E. multilocularis) larvae. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) produces inhibitory signals and induces T cell exhaustion, thereby ...

A CTLA-4 Antagonizing DNA Aptamer with Antitumor Effect

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2017
The successful translation of cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) blockade has revolutionized the concept of cancer immunotherapy. Although monoclonal antibody therapeutics remain the mainstream in clinical practice, aptamers are synthetic ...

Deletion of the inhibitory co-receptor CTLA-4 enhances and invigorates chimeric antigen receptor T cells

open access: yesImmunity, 2023
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy targeting CD19 has achieved tremendous success treating B cell malignancies; however, some patients fail to respond due to poor autologous T cell fitness. To improve response rates, we investigated whether disruption of the co-inhibitory receptors CTLA4 or PD-1 could restore CART function.

Genome‐Wide CRISPR Screen Identifies a microRNA Orchestrating Pleiotropic Resistance to Targeted Therapy and T Cell Immunity in Melanoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A genome‐wide microRNA CRISPR screen identifies miR‐18a as a master regulator of cross‐resistance in melanoma. Loss of miR‐18a activates the AJUBA–YAP/Hippo axis to confer BRAFi resistance and enhances THBS1–CD47 interaction to impair CD8+ T cell immunity. hnRNP A1 is identified as an upstream regulator of miR‐18a processing.

ROS Self‐Supply Nanoplatform Based on Fenton Catalyst for Chemodynamic and Immunotherapy: Reprogramming Cold Tumor Into Hot Tumor in Cancer Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A multifunctional HA‐conjugated nanoplatform (HA‐PGMC) integrates CuO2, glucose oxidase, and mil‐100 to enable cascade catalytic ROS generation in tumor microenvironments. This self‐supplying ROS strategy induces immunogenic cell death, reprograms “cold” tumors into “hot” ones, and synergizes with PD‐L1 blockade, achieving potent chemodynamic ...

CTLA-4 expression on antigen-specific cells but not IL-10 secretion is required for oral tolerance

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Immunology, 2002
CD4(+) T cells play a vital role in mediating the tolerance induced at mucosal sites following exposure to non-pathogenic stimuli, and further understanding of the precise mechanisms by which these cells prevent aberrant responses is required. We have developed a model using transfer of DO11.10 TCR-transgenic bone marrow into irradiated recipients in ...

WT1‐Targeted Oral Bifidobacterium longum Vaccine Enhances Checkpoint Blockade Efficacy in Pancreatic Cancer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Oral WT1‐targeted Bifidobacterium longum vaccine promotes WT1‐associated cellular immunity and enhances anti‐PD‐1/anti‐CTLA‐4 efficacy in pancreatic cancer. ABSTRACT Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains largely unresponsive to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) due to its profoundly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.
