ImmuneWalk Therapeutics Announces Positive Results from Phase I SAD/MAD Study of IW-601, a First-In-Class Therapeutic with Broad Potential in Inflammatory and Autoimmune Diseases

[ImmuneWalk Therapeutics] ImmuneWalk Therapeutics announced positive results from the POINTGUARD study evaluating subcutaneously administered IW-601, a highly selective biologic inhibitor of myeloid cell tissue infiltration. The study met all primary and secondary endpoints, demonstrating safety and tolerability of IW-601 at all doses.

REV-ERB Regulates RORγT+ Regulatory T Cell Specification and Function through the Bhlhe40-C-Maf Axis

[Journal of Experimental Medicine] Scientists reported that transcriptional repressor REV-ERB was critical for the differentiation and function of colonic RORγt+Foxp3+ Treg cells.

Differential Effects of HDAC8 Targeting on Foxp3+ T-Regulatory Cells and Effector T-Cells Promote Anti-Tumor Immunity

[JCI Insight] Scientists demonstrate that knocking down or inhibiting HDAC8 impaired murine Treg suppressive function in vitro and in vivo, but promoted conventional host T cell responses, thereby limiting syngeneic tumor growth.

CD8+ Regulatory T Cells

[Annual Review of Immunology] Although the contribution of CD4+ Tregs to self-tolerance has been extensively studied, less attention has been given to CD8+ Tregs. Scientists review recent insights into the development, function, and potential clinical applications of this regulatory subset.

In Vivo CRISPR Screen Reveals Regulation of Macrophage States in Neuroinflammation

[Nature Neuroscience] The authors established an in vivo CRISPR screening pipeline using genetically editable progenitor cells to dissect macrophage regulation in mouse models of multiple sclerosis.

Sequential lymphotoxin-β Receptor and Retinoic Acid Receptor Signals Regulate cDC2 Fate

[Nature Immunology] Investigators established the developmental and transcriptional relationships between diverse type 2 conventional dendritic cell subsets and identified signals that regulate their prevalence in specific lymphoid tissues.

Leukemia Escapes Immunity by Imposing a Type 1 Regulatory Program on Neoantigen-Specific CD4+ T Cells

[Blood] Using clinical a novel mouse model, researchers showed that neoantigen-specific CD4+ T cells are induced to adopt type 1 regulatory (Tr1) function in the leukemia microenvironment.

Prostaglandin E-EP2/EP4 Signaling Induces the Tumor-Infiltrating Treg Phenotype for Tumor Growth

[Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] Investigators showed that prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) produced in tumor microenvironment directly acts on its receptor EP2/EP4 on Tregs to induce the tumor-infiltrating Treg phenotype.

Immunomodulation of UVB-Induced Regulatory T Cells Prevents the Establishment of Squamous Cell Carcinoma

[Journal for Immunotherapy of Cancer] Scientists showed that the manipulation of ultraviolet-induced regulatory T cells prevents early cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma establishment.

A “Function-First” Approach to Identify Regulatory T Cell-Targeting Antibodies for Immunotherapy

[Cancer Immunology Research] To generate antibodies specific for tumor-associated Tregs, lymphocytes were isolated from tumor-bearing mice and panned against the n-CoDeR phage antibody library.

Pyroptosis Modulates Multiple Immune Cell Populations in Targeted Therapy-Treated Melanoma

[Cancer Immunology Research] Using single-cell RNA-sequencing and flow cytometry in BRAFi + MEKi treated melanoma, researchers showed herein that isogenic Gsdme knockout tumors show decreased infiltration with T cells, natural killer cells, and regulatory T cells compared to control tumors.

The Frequency of Regulatory T-Cells in Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and Graves’ Disease

[Clinical and Experimental Medicine] Investigators compared the number of CD4/CD25/FOXP3 T regulatory cells in the different forms of autoimmune thyroid diseases and in the normal population.

For over a decade, Immune Regulation News has been keeping the scientific community up-to-date with the latest research and reviews related to immune regulation. Key research areas covered include the roles of regulatory T cells (Treg cells) in autoimmunity and self-reactivity, as well as immune response to disease, transplantation and cancer. We also provide vital updates on the latest jobs and upcoming events in the field of immunology.
