RESUMO

Objective: Exploring the efficacy and safety of bridging blinatumomab (BiTE) in combination with chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy for the treatment of adult patients with acute B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) . Methods: Clinical data from 36 adult B-ALL patients treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University from August 2018 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 36 cases were included: 18 men and 18 women. The median age was 43.5 years (21-72 years). Moreover, 21 cases of Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia were reported, and 16 of these cases were relapsed or refractory. Eighteen patients underwent blinatumomab bridging followed by CAR-T cell therapy, and 18 patients received CAR-T cell therapy. This study analyzed the efficacy and safety of treatment in two groups of patients. Results: In the BiTE bridge-to-CAR-T group, 16 patients achieved complete remission (CR) after BiTE immunotherapy, with a CR rate of 88.9%. One month after bridging CAR-T therapy, bone marrow examination showed a CR rate of 100.0%, and the minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rate was higher than the nonbridging therapy group (94.4% vs. 61.1%, Fisher, P=0.041). The incidence of cytokine release syndrome and other adverse reactions in the BiTE bridge-to-CAR-T group was lower than that in the nonbridging therapy group (11.1% vs. 50.0%, Fisher, P=0.027). The follow-up reveals that 13 patients continued to maintain MRD negativity, and five patients experienced relapse 8.40 months (2.57-10.20 months) after treatment. Two of five patients with relapse achieved CR after receiving the second CAR-T cell therapy. In the nonbridging therapy group, 10 patients maintained continuous MRD negativity, 7 experienced relapse, and 6 died. The 1 year overall survival rate in the BiTE bridge-to-CAR-T group was higher than that in the nonbridging therapy group, with a statistically significant difference at the 0.1 level (88.9%±10.5% vs. 66.7%±10.9%, P=0.091) . Conclusion: BiTE bridging CAR-T cell therapy demonstrates excellent efficacy in adult B-ALL treatment, with a low recent recurrence rate and ongoing assessment of long-term efficacy during follow-up.

RESUMO

The therapeutic efficacy of oncolytic adenoviruses (OAs) relies on efficient viral transduction and replication. However, the limited expression of coxsackie-adenovirus receptors in many tumors, along with the intracellular antiviral signaling, poses significant obstacles to OA infection and oncolysis. Here, we present sonosensitizer-armed OAs (saOAs) that potentiate the antitumor efficacy of oncolytic virotherapy through sonodynamic therapy-augmented virus replication. The saOAs could not only efficiently infect tumor cells via transferrin receptor-mediated endocytosis but also exhibit enhanced viral replication and tumor oncolysis under ultrasound irradiation. We revealed that the sonosensitizer loaded on the viruses induced the generation of ROS within tumor cells, which triggered JNK-mediated autophagy, ultimately leading to the enhanced viral replication. In mouse models of malignant melanoma, the combination of saOAs and sonodynamic therapy elicited a robust antitumor immune response, resulting in significant inhibition of melanoma growth and improved host survival. This work highlights the potential of sonodynamic therapy in enhancing the effectiveness of OAs and provides a promising platform for fully exploiting the antitumor efficacy of oncolytic virotherapy.

RESUMO

T cells play an important role in adaptive immunity. Mature T cells specifically recognize antigens on major histocompatibility complex molecules through T-cell receptors (TCRs). As the TCR repertoire is highly diverse, its analysis is vital in the assessment of T cells. Advances in sequencing technology have provided convenient methods for further investigation of the TCR repertoire. In the present review, the TCR structure and the mechanisms by which TCRs function in tumor recognition are described. In addition, the potential value of the TCR repertoire in tumor diagnosis is reviewed. Furthermore, the role of the TCR repertoire in tumor immunotherapy is introduced, and the relationships between the TCR repertoire and the effects of different tumor immunotherapies are discussed. Based on the reviewed literature, it may be concluded that the TCR repertoire has the potential to serve as a biomarker for tumor prognosis. However, a wider range of cancer types and more diverse subjects require evaluation in future research to establish the TCR repertoire as a biomarker of tumor immunity.

RESUMO

Blockade of the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) pathway is an attractive strategy for immunotherapy, but the clinical application of small molecule PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors remains unclear. In this work, based on BMS-202 and our previous work YLW-106, a series of compounds with benzo[d]isothiazol structure as scaffold were designed and synthesized. Their inhibitory activity against PD-1/PD-L1 interaction was evaluated by a homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) assay. Among them, LLW-018 (27c) exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 2.61 nM. The cellular level assays demonstrated that LLW-018 exhibited low cytotoxicity against Jurkat T and MDA-MB-231. Further cell-based PD-1/PD-L1 blockade bioassays based on PD-1 NFAT-Luc Jurkat cells and PD-L1 TCR Activator CHO cells indicated that LLW-018 could interrupt PD-1/PD-L1 interaction with an IC50 value of 0.88 µM. Multi-computational methods, including molecular docking, molecular dynamics, MM/GBSA, MM/PBSA, Metadynamics, and QM/MM MD were utilized on PD-L1 dimer complexes, which revealed the binding modes and dissociation process of LLW-018 and C2-symmetric small molecule inhibitor LCH1307. These results suggested that LLW-018 exhibited promising potency as a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor for further investigation.

RESUMO

We identify a population of Protogenin-positive (PRTG+ve) MYChigh NESTINlow stem cells in the four-week-old human embryonic hindbrain that subsequently localizes to the ventricular zone of the rhombic lip (RLVZ). Oncogenic transformation of early Prtg+ve rhombic lip stem cells initiates group 3 medulloblastoma (Gr3-MB)-like tumors. PRTG+ve stem cells grow adjacent to a human-specific interposed vascular plexus in the RLVZ, a phenotype that is recapitulated in Gr3-MB but not in other types of medulloblastoma. Co-culture of Gr3-MB with endothelial cells promotes tumor stem cell growth, with the endothelial cells adopting an immature phenotype. Targeting the PRTGhigh compartment of Gr3-MB in vivo using either the diphtheria toxin system or chimeric antigen receptor T cells constitutes effective therapy. Human Gr3-MBs likely arise from early embryonic RLVZ PRTG+ve stem cells inhabiting a specific perivascular niche. Targeting the PRTGhigh compartment and/or the perivascular niche represents an approach to treat children with Gr3-MB.

RESUMO

Natural killer (NK) cells, as innate lymphocytes, possess cytotoxic capabilities and engage target cells through a repertoire of activating and inhibitory receptors. Particularly, natural killer group 2, member D (NKG2D) receptor on NK cells recognizes stress-induced ligands-the MHC class I chain-related molecules A and B (MICA/B) presented on tumor cells and is key to trigger the cytolytic response of NK cells. However, tumors have developed sophisticated strategies to evade NK cell surveillance, which lead to failure of tumor immunotherapy. In this paper, we summarized these immune escaping strategies, including the downregulation of ligands for activating receptors, upregulation of ligands for inhibitory receptors, secretion of immunosuppressive compounds, and the development of apoptosis resistance. Then, we focus on recent advancements in NK cell immune therapies, which include engaging activating NK cell receptors, upregulating NKG2D ligand MICA/B expression, blocking inhibitory NK cell receptors, adoptive NK cell therapy, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered NK cells (CAR-NK), and NKG2D CAR-T cells, especially several vaccines targeting MICA/B. This review will inspire the research in NK cell biology in tumor and provide significant hope for improving cancer treatment outcomes by harnessing the potent cytotoxic activity of NK cells.

RESUMO

Low immunogenicity of tumors poses a challenge in the development of effective tumor immunotherapy. However, emerging evidence suggests that certain therapeutic approaches, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and phototherapy, can induce varying degrees of immunogenic cell death (ICD). This ICD phenomenon leads to the release of tumor antigens and the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs), thereby enhancing tumor immunogenicity and promoting immune responses. However, the use of a single conventional ICD inducer often fails to achieve in situ tumor ablation and establish long-term anti-tumor immune responses. Furthermore, the induction of ICD induction varies among different approaches, and the distribution of the therapeutic agent within the body influences the level of ICD and the occurrence of toxic side effects. To address these challenges and further boost tumor immunity, researchers have explored nanosystems as inducers of ICD in combination with tumor immunotherapy. This review examines the mechanisms of ICD and different induction methods, with a specific focus on the relationship between ICD and tumor immunity. The aim is to explore the research advancements utilizing various nanomaterials to enhance the body's anti-tumor effects by inducing ICD. This paper aims to contribute to the development and clinical application of nanomaterial-based ICD inducers in the field of cancer immunotherapy by providing important theoretical guidance and practical references.

RESUMO

Metal ions play an essential role in regulating the functions of immune cells by transmitting intracellular and extracellular signals in tumor microenvironment (TME). Among these immune cells, we focused on the impact of metal ions on T cells because they can recognize and kill cancer cells and play an important role in immune-based cancer treatment. Metal ions are often used in nanomedicines for tumor immunotherapy. In this review, we discuss seven metal ions related to anti-tumor immunity, elucidate their roles in immunotherapy, and provide novel insights into tumor immunotherapy and clinical applications.

RESUMO

Killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1) is an immune checkpoint receptor expressed predominantly in NK and T-cell subsets that downregulates the activation and proliferation of immune cells and participates in cell-mediated immune responses. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated the importance of KLRG1 as a noteworthy disease marker and therapeutic target that can influence disease onset, progression, and prognosis. Blocking KLRG1 has been shown to effectively mitigate the effects of downregulation in various mouse tumor models, including solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. However, KLRG1 inhibitors have not yet been approved for human use, and the understanding of KLRG1 expression and its mechanism of action in various diseases remains incomplete. In this review, we explore alterations in the distribution, structure, and signaling pathways of KLRG1 in immune cells and summarize its expression patterns and roles in the development and progression of autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, and cancers. Additionally, we discuss the potential applications of KLRG1 as a tool for tumor immunotherapy.

RESUMO

Natural killer (NK) cells, serve as the frontline defense of the immune system, and are capable of surveilling and eliminating tumor cells. Their significance in tumor immunotherapy has garnered considerable attention in recent years. However, the absence of specific receptor-ligand interactions between NK cells and tumor cells hampers their selectivity, thereby limiting the therapeutic effectiveness of NK cell-based tumor immunotherapy. Herein, this work constructs polymannose-engineered NK (pM-NK) cells via metabolic glycoengineering and copper-free click chemistry. Polymannose containing dibenzocyclooctyne terminal groups (pM-DBCO) is synthesized and covalently modified on the surface of azido-labeled NK cells. Compared to the untreated NK cells, the interactions between pM-NK cells and MDA-MB-231 cells, a breast tumor cell line with overexpression of mannose receptors (MRs), are significantly increased, and lead to significantly enhanced killing efficacy. Consequently, intravenous administration of pM-NK cells will effectively inhibit the tumor growth and will prolong the survival of mice bearing MDA-MB-231 tumors. Thus, this work presents a novel strategy for tumor-targeting NK cell-based tumor immunotherapy.

RESUMO

Hotspot driver mutations presented by human leukocyte antigens might be recognized by anti-tumor T cells. Based on their advantages of tumor-specificity and immunogenicity, neoantigens derived from hotspot mutations, such as PIK3CAH1047L, may serve as emerging targets for cancer immunotherapies. NetMHCpan V4.1 was utilized for predicting neoepitopes of PIK3CA hotspot mutation. Using in vitro stimulation, antigen-specific T cells targeting the HLA-A*11:01-restricted PIK3CA mutation were isolated from healthy donor-derived peripheral blood mononuclear cells. T cell receptors (TCRs) were cloned using single-cell PCR and sequencing. Their functionality was assessed through T cell activation markers, cytokine production and cytotoxic response to cancer cell lines pulsed with peptides or transduced genes of mutant PIK3CA. Immunogenic mutant antigens from PIK3CA and their corresponding CD8+ T cells were identified. These PIK3CA mutation-specific CD8+ T cells were subsequently enriched, and their TCRs were isolated. The TCR clones exhibited mutation-specific and HLA-restricted reactivity, demonstrating varying degrees of functional avidity. Identified TCR genes were transferred into CD8+ Jurkat cells and primary T cells deficient of endogenous TCRs. TCR-expressing cells demonstrated specific recognition and reactivity against the PIK3CAH1047L peptide presented by HLA-A*11:01-expressing K562 cells. Furthermore, mutation-specific TCR-T cells demonstrated an elevation in cytokine production and profound cytotoxic effects against HLA-A*11:01+ malignant cell lines harboring PIK3CAH1047L. Our data demonstrate the immunogenicity of an HLA-A*11:01-restricted PIK3CA hotspot mutation and its targeting therapeutic potential, together with promising candidates of TCR-T cell therapy.

RESUMO

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have demonstrated remarkable success in the treatment of relapsed/refractory melanoma and hematological malignancies, respectively. These treatments have marked a pivotal shift in cancer management. However, as "living drugs," their effectiveness is dependent on their ability to proliferate and persist in patients. Recent studies indicate that the mechanisms regulating these crucial functions, as well as the T cell's differentiation state, are conditioned by metabolic shifts and the distinct utilization of metabolic pathways. These metabolic shifts, conditioned by nutrient availability as well as cell surface expression of metabolite transporters, are coupled to signaling pathways and the epigenetic landscape of the cell, modulating transcriptional, translational, and post-translational profiles. In this review, we discuss the processes underlying the metabolic remodeling of activated T cells, the impact of a tumor metabolic environment on T cell function, and potential metabolic-based strategies to enhance T cell immunotherapy.

RESUMO

Breast cancer has a high incidence and a heightened propensity for metastasis. The absence of precise targets for effective intervention makes it imperative to devise enhanced treatment strategies. Exosomes, characterized by a lipid bilayer and ranging in size from 30 to 150 nm, can be actively released by various cells, including those in tumors. Exosomes derived from distinct subsets of immune cells have been shown to modulate the immune microenvironment within tumors and influence breast cancer progression. In addition, tumor-derived exosomes have been shown to contribute to breast cancer development and progression and may become a new target for breast cancer immunotherapy. Tumor immunotherapy has become an option for managing tumors, and exosomes have become therapeutic vectors that can be used for various pathological conditions. Edited exosomes can be used as nanoscale drug delivery systems for breast cancer therapy, contributing to the remodeling of immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments and influencing the efficacy of immunotherapy. This review discusses the regulatory role of exosomes from different cells in breast cancer and the latest applications of exosomes as nanoscale drug delivery systems and immunotherapeutic agents in breast cancer, showing the development prospects of exosomes in the clinical treatment of breast cancer.

RESUMO

Primary liver cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. At present, liver cancer is often in an advanced stage once diagnosed, and treatment effects are generally poor. Therefore, there is an urgent need for other powerful treatments. Macrophages are an important component of the tumor microenvironment, and macrophage polarization is crucial to tumor proliferation and differentiation. Regulatory interactions between macrophage subtypes, such as M1 and M2, lead to a number of clinical outcomes, including tumor progression and metastasis. So, it is important to study the drivers of this process. Long non-coding RNA has been widely proven to be of great value in the early diagnosis and treatment of tumors. Many studies have shown that long non-coding RNA participates in macrophage polarization through its ability to drive M1 or M2 polarization, thereby participating in the occurrence and development of liver cancer. In this article, we systematically elaborated on the long non-coding RNAs involved in the polarization of liver cancer macrophages, hoping to provide a new idea for the early diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer. Liver cancer- related studies were retrieved from PubMed. Based on our identification of LncRNA and macrophage polarization as powerful therapies for liver cancer, we analyzed research articles in the PubMed system in the last ten years on the crosstalk between LncRNA and macrophage polarization. By targeting M1/M2 macrophage polarization, LncRNA may promote or suppress liver cancer, and the references are determined primarily by the article's impact factor. Consequently, the specific mechanism of action between LncRNA and M1/M2 macrophage polarization was explored, along with the role of their crosstalk in the occurrence, proliferation, and metastasis of liver cancer. lncRNA is bidirectionally expressed in liver cancer and can target macrophage polarization to regulate tumor behavior. lncRNA mainly functions as ceRNA and can participate in the crosstalk between liver cancer cells and macrophages through extracellular vesicles. lncRNA can potentially participate in the immunotherapy of liver cancer by targeting macrophages and becoming a new biomolecular marker of liver cancer.

RESUMO

The occurrence and progression of tumors are often accompanied by disruptions in the gut microbiota. Inversely, the impact of the gut microbiota on the initiation and progression of cancer is becoming increasingly evident, influencing the tumor microenvironment (TME) for both local and distant tumors. Moreover, it is even suggested to play a significant role in the process of tumor immunotherapy, contributing to high specificity in therapeutic outcomes and long-term effectiveness across various cancer types. Probiotics, with their generally positive influence on the gut microbiota, may serve as effective agents in synergizing cancer immunotherapy. They play a crucial role in activating the immune system to inhibit tumor growth. In summary, this comprehensive review aims to provide valuable insights into the dynamic interactions between probiotics, gut microbiota, and cancer. Furthermore, we highlight recent advances and mechanisms in using probiotics to improve the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy. By understanding these complex relationships, we may unlock innovative approaches for cancer diagnosis and treatment while optimizing the effects of immunotherapy.

RESUMO

Cuproptosis, a newly discovered mechanism of inducing tumor cell death, primarily relies on the intracellular accumulation of copper ions. The utilization of Cu-based nanomaterials to induce cuproptosis holds promising prospects in future biomedical applications. However, the presence of high levels of glutathione (GSH) within tumor cells hinders the efficacy of cuproptosis. In this study, we have developed a BPTES-loaded biomimetic Cu-doped polypyrrole nanoparticles (CuP) nanosystem (PCB) for enhanced cuproptosis and immune modulation. PCB comprises an internal BPTES and CuP core and an external platelet membrane (PM) that facilitates active targeting to tumor sites following intravenous administration. Subsequently, PCB effectively suppresses glutaminase (GLS1) activity, thereby reducing GSH content. Moreover, CuP catalyze intracellular H2O2, amplifying oxidative stress while simultaneously inducing dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (DLAT) oligomerization through released Cu2+, resulting in cuproptosis. PCB not only inhibits primary tumors but also exhibits inhibitory effects on abscopal tumors. This work represents the first instance where GLS inhibition has been employed to enhance cuproptosis and immunotherapy. It also provides valuable insights into further investigations on cuproptosis.

RESUMO

HPK1 also referred to as MAP4K1, belongs to the category of mammalian STE20-like protein serine/threonine kinases. Its physiological function involves the down-regulation of T cell signals, and it is regarded as a new immune checkpoint of tumor immunology. In this study, we commenced our investigation with the hit compounds, focusing the efforts on structural optimization and SAR exploration to identify a novel class of 2,4-diaminopyrimidine HPK1 inhibitors. Notably, compound 14g exhibited a remarkable inhibitory effect on HPK1 kinase (IC50 = 0.15 nM), significantly suppressed the phosphorylation of the downstream adaptor protein SLP76 (pSLP76 IC50 = 27.92 nM), and effectively stimulated the secretion of the T cell activation marker IL-2 (EC50 = 46.64 nM). In vitro microsomal stability assay, compound 14g showed moderate stability in HLMs with T1/2 = 38.2 min and CLint = 36.4 µL·min-1·mg-1 proteins. In vivo pharmacokinetic studies, compound 14g demonstrated heightened plasma exposure (AUC0-inf = 644 ng·h·mL-1), extended half-life (T1/2 = 9.98 h), and reduced plasma clearance (CL = 52.3 mL·min-1·kg-1) compared to the reference compound after a single intravenous dose of 2 mg/kg in rats. These results indicated that compound 14g emerged as a promising inhibitor of HPK1.

RESUMO

Immune-checkpoint blockade (ICB) reinvigorates T cells from exhaustion and potentiates T-cell responses to tumors. However, most patients do not respond to ICB therapy, and only a limited response can be achieved in a "cold" tumor with few infiltrated lymphocytes. Synthetic biology can be used to engineer bacteria as controllable bioreactors to synthesize biotherapeutics in situ. We engineered attenuated Salmonella VNP20009 with synthetic gene circuits to produce PD-1 and Tim-3 scFv to block immunosuppressive receptors on exhausted T cells to reinvigorate their antitumor response. Secreted PD-1 and Tim-3 scFv bound PD-1+ Tim-3+ T cells through their targeting receptors in vitro and potentiated the T-cell secretion of IFN-γ. Engineered bacteria colonized the hypoxic core of the tumor and synthesized PD-1 and Tim-3 scFv in situ, reviving CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells to execute an antitumor response. The bacteria also triggered a strong innate immune response, which stimulated the expansion of IFN-γ+ CD4+ T cells within the tumors to induce direct and indirect antitumor immunity.

RESUMO

While Interleukin 2 (IL2) has the capability to activate both NK and T cells robustly, its limited in vivo half-life, considerable toxicity, and tendency to boost Treg cells pose significant challenges, restricting its widespread application in cancer therapy. In this investigation, we engineered a novel IL2 variant (IL2-4M-PEG) with reduced CD25 binding activity and an extended half-life by substituting amino acids associated with CD25 binding and implementing site-directed PEGylation. IL2-4M-PEG notably amplifies effector cells over Treg cells. Furthermore, our findings reveal that IL2-4M-PEG, characterized by an extended half-life, exhibits anti-tumor effects in a mouse model. Consequently, this innovative IL2 holds the potential for enhancing combined cancer therapies in the future.

RESUMO

The use of CAR-T cells in treating solid tumors frequently faces significant challenges, mainly due to the heterogeneity of tumor antigens. This study assessed the efficacy of an acidity-targeting transition-aided universal chimeric antigen receptor T (ATT-CAR-T) cell strategy, which is facilitated by an acidity-targeted transition. Specifically, the EGFRvIII peptide was attached to the N-terminus of a pH-low insertion peptide. Triggered by the acidic conditions of the tumor microenvironment, this peptide alters its structure and selectively integrates into the membrane of solid tumor cells. The acidity-targeted transition component effectively relocated the EGFRvIII peptide across various tumor cell membranes; thus, allowing the direct destruction of these cells by EGFRvIII-specific CAR-T cells. This method was efficient even when endogenous antigens were absent. In vivo tests showed marked antigen modification within the acidic tumor microenvironment using this component. Integrating this component with CAR-T cell therapy showed high effectiveness in combating solid tumors. These results highlight the capability of ATT-CAR-T cell therapy to address the challenges presented by tumor heterogeneity and expand the utility of CAR-T cell therapy in the treatment of solid tumors.
