XCL1-secreting CEA CAR-T cells enhance endogenous CD8+ T cell responses to tumor neoantigens to confer a long-term antitumor immunity [PDF]
Background Therapeutic efficacy of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells against colorectal cancer (CRC) remains limited due to the unique characteristics and distinct microenvironments of tumor tissues.

The integrated molecular and histological analysis defines subtypes of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma [PDF]
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is highly heterogeneous. Our understanding of full molecular and immune landscape of ESCC remains limited, hindering the development of personalised therapeutic strategies.

TSC22 domain family member 3 links natural killer cells to CD8+ T cell-mediated drug hypersensitivity [PDF]
Severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCARs) are life-threatening diseases, which are associated with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) risk variants. However, the low positive predictive values of HLA variants suggest additional factors influence disease

The role of XCR1 and its ligand XCL1 in antigen cross-presentation by murine and human dendritic cells [PDF]
Recently, the chemokine receptor XCR1 has been found to be exclusively expressed on a subset of DC known to be involved in antigen cross-presentation.

IL-18-primed NK cells recruit dendritic cells and potentiate tumor therapy mediated by PD-1 blockade [PDF]
The success of cancer immunotherapy depends on the effective coordination of innate and adaptive immunity. We previously reported that IL-18 potentiates the therapeutic effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors in mouse models.

Resurrected Ancestors Reveal Origins of Metamorphism in XCL1 [PDF]
In a recent study, Dishman et al. resurrected ancestors of the metamorphic chemokine, XCL1, inferred through phylogenetics, and found that metamorphism arose in the XCL1 lineage ~150 million years ago. A zigzagging evolutionary path suggests that the metamorphic properties are adaptive and reveals three design principles that could be used for ...

DNA Vaccines Encoding Antigen Targeted to MHC Class II Induce Influenza-Specific CD8+ T Cell Responses, Enabling Faster Resolution of Influenza Disease [PDF]
Current influenza vaccines are effective but imperfect, failing to cover against emerging strains of virus and requiring seasonal administration to protect against new strains. A key step to improving influenza vaccines is to improve our understanding of

Cell-Type-Specific WTAP and ALKBH5-Mediated m<sup>6</sup>A Methylation Orchestrates Mental Disorders via Gut-Brain Axis Metabolite Signaling: Multi-Omics Evidence and Pyroptosis-Associated Loop Mechanism. [PDF]
MR analysis revealed distinct causal associations of m6A modifiers (WTAP/ALKBH5) with mental disorders. Gut microbiota (GCA‐900066755, Bacillus) and CSF metabolites (theophylline, isoleucine) mediated 5.06%–45.28% of effects via pathways such as WTAP → GCA‐900066755 → theophylline → ADHD. Single‐cell eQTL linked WTAP‐mediated ADHD risk to XCL1‐NK cells,

Targeting antigen to conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) can improve antigen-specific immune responses and additionally be used to influence the polarization of the immune responses. However, the mechanisms by which this is achieved are less clear.

Examination of Glycosaminoglycan Binding Sites on the XCL1 Dimer [PDF]
Known for its distinct metamorphic behavior, XCL1 interconverts between a canonical chemokine folded monomer (XCL1mon) that interacts with the receptor, XCR1, and a unique dimer (XCL1dim) that interacts with glycosaminoglycans and inhibits HIV-1 activity. This study presents the first detailed analysis of the GAG binding properties of XCL1dim.
