Calcineurin Inhibitors Suppress Acute Graft-vs-Host Disease via NFAT-Independent Inhibition of T Cell Receptor Signaling

Researchers utilized T cells from mice that express LckS59A, which cannot accept a phosphate at residue 59, to initiate acute graft-versus-host disease.

Myeloid Cell–Derived HOCl Is a Paracrine Effector That Trans-inhibits IKK/NF-κB in Melanoma Cells and Limits Early Tumor Progression

Investigators revealed a role for myeloid-derived cells-derived hypochlorous acid (HOCl) as a small-molecule paracrine signaling factor that trans-inhibited inhibited IκB kinase (IKK) in melanoma tumor cells, mediating antitumor responses during early tumor progression.

Metabolic Modulation by CDK4/6 Inhibitor Promotes Chemokine-Mediated Recruitment of T Cells Into Mammary Tumors

Investigators showed that cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6i) could enhance efficacy of T cell-based therapies, such as adoptive T cell transfer or T cell-activating antibodies anti-OX40/anti-4-1BB, in murine breast cancer models.

Combining Ibrutinib and Checkpoint Blockade Improves CD8+ T-Cell Function and Control of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia in Em-TCL1 Mice

By using the Eµ-TCL1 adoptive transfer mouse model of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, scientists observed that ibrutinib effectively controled leukemia development, but also resulted in significantly lower numbers of CD8+ effector T-cells, with lower expression of activation markers, as well as impaired proliferation and effector function.
