Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.A mouse model for vascular normalization and a human breast cancer cohort were studied to understand the relationship between vascular leakage and tumor immune suppression. For this, endothelial and immune cell RNAseq, staining for vascular function, and immune cell profiling were employed.

DRG2 as a Biomarker to Enhance the Predictive Efficacy of PD-L1 Immunohistochemistry Assays
BiomedicinesPD-L1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays are used as a companion diagnostic for immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, despite the association between PD-L1 expression and clinical benefit from ICIs, the PD-L1 IHC assay is not ...

The Prognostic and Therapeutic Value of PD-L1 in Glioma
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019 Glioma is the most common type of primary brain tumors. After standard treatment regimen (surgical section, radiotherapy and chemotherapy), the average survival time remains merely around 14 months for glioblastoma (grade IV glioma).

Elevated numbers of PD-L1 expressing B cells are associated with the development of AIDS-NHL. [PDF]
, 2019 The risk for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is markedly increased in persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and remains elevated in those on anti-retroviral therapy (cART).

Antitumor Activity of Pembrolizumab in Biomarker-Unselected Patients With Recurrent and/or Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Results From the Phase Ib KEYNOTE-012 Expansion Cohort. [PDF]
, 2016 Purpose Treatment with pembrolizumab, an anti-programmed death-1 antibody, at 10 mg/kg administered once every 2 weeks, displayed durable antitumor activity in programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) -positive recurrent and/or metastatic (R/M) head and neck ...

Liquid biopsy epigenetics: establishing a molecular profile based on cell‐free DNA
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) fragments in plasma from cancer patients carry epigenetic signatures reflecting their cells of origin. These epigenetic features include DNA methylation, nucleosome modifications, and variations in fragmentation. This review describes the biological properties of each feature and explores optimal strategies for harnessing cfDNA ...

Hantavirus-driven PD-L1/PD-L2 upregulation: An imperfect viral immune evasion mechanism [PDF]
, 2018 Viruses often subvert antiviral immune responses by taking advantage of inhibitory immune signaling. We investigated if hantaviruses use this strategy.

Blocking interaction between SHP2 and PD‐1 denotes a novel opportunity for developing PD‐1 inhibitors [PDF]
, 2020 Small molecular PD‐1 inhibitors are lacking in current immuno‐oncology clinic. PD‐1/PD‐L1 antibody inhibitors currently approved for clinical usage block interaction between PD‐L1 and PD‐1 to enhance cytotoxicity of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Clinical trials on PARP inhibitors in urothelial carcinoma (UC) showed limited efficacy and a lack of predictive biomarkers. We propose SLFN5, SLFN11, and OAS1 as UC‐specific response predictors. We suggest Talazoparib as the better PARP inhibitor for UC than Olaparib.

PD-1/PD-L1 Blockade: Have We Found the Key to Unleash the Antitumor Immune Response?
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 PD-1–PD-L1 interaction is known to drive T cell dysfunction, which can be blocked by anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies. However, studies have also shown that the function of the PD-1–PD-L1 axis is affected by the complex immunologic regulation network, and some
