Immune checkpoint blockade in HIV
Summary: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has dramatically improved life expectancy for people with HIV (PWH) and helps to restore immune function but is not curative and must be taken lifelong.

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

MCT4 blockade increases the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade
Background & Aims Intratumoral lactate accumulation and acidosis impair T-cell function and antitumor immunity. Interestingly, expression of the lactate transporter monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) 4, but not MCT1, turned out to be prognostic for ...

Fulminant Myocarditis with Combination Immune Checkpoint Blockade
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have improved clinical outcomes associated with numerous cancers, but high-grade, immune-related adverse events can occur, particularly with combination immunotherapy. We report the cases of two patients with melanoma in whom fatal myocarditis developed after treatment with ipilimumab and nivolumab.

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 ...

Immune checkpoint blockade therapy [PDF]
Immune checkpoints are accessory molecules that either promote or inhibit T-cell activation. Two inhibitory molecules, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), got high attention, as inhibition of CTLA-4 or PD-1 signaling provides the first immune therapy that significantly improves the survival of patients ...

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.

Metabolic Implications of Immune Checkpoint Proteins in Cancer
Expression of immune checkpoint proteins restrict immunosurveillance in the tumor microenvironment; thus, FDA-approved checkpoint inhibitor drugs, specifically PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 inhibitors, promote a cytotoxic antitumor immune response.

Immune-checkpoint blockade has shown limited benefits in patients with glioblastoma. To understand how the composition of the tumor immune microenvironment might limit clinical responses, here the authors present a high dimensional profiling of the ...

Advanced Nanotechnology for Enhancing Immune Checkpoint Blockade Therapy
Immune checkpoint receptor signaling pathways constitute a prominent class of “immune synapse,” a cell-to-cell connection that represses T-lymphocyte effector functions.
