Beyond Conventional Immune-Checkpoint Inhibition — Novel Immunotherapies for Renal Cell Carcinoma

Using the structure provided by the well-described cancer–immunity cycle, scientists outline the key steps required for a successful antitumour immune response in the context of renal cell carcinoma, and describe the development of promising new immunotherapies within the context of this framework.

Tumor-Infiltrating Mast Cells Are Associated With Resistance to Anti-PD-1 Therapy

Researchers generated a humanized-mouse melanoma model by injecting fetal liver-derived CD34+ cells and implanting autologous thymus in immune-deficient NOD-scid IL2Rγnull mice.

Reprogramming Immunosuppressive Myeloid Cells by Activated T Cells Promotes the Response to Anti-PD-1 Therapy in Colorectal Cancer

The levels of infiltrating myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) were significantly higher in the non-responding organoids and were selectively reduced in the responding group, with MDSCs showing increased apoptosis and attenuated functional activity after anti-PD-1 treatment.

Identification of a Subset of Immunosuppressive P2RX1-Negative Neutrophils in Pancreatic Cancer Liver Metastasis

RNA sequencing of murine PDAC liver metastasis-infiltrated neutrophils show that P2RX1-deficient neutrophils express increased levels of immunosuppressive molecules, including PD-L1, and have enhanced mitochondrial metabolism.

E7386, a Selective Inhibitor of the Interaction between β-Catenin and CBP, Exerts Antitumor Activity in Tumor Models with Activated Canonical Wnt Signaling

E7386 demonstrated clear antitumor activity via modulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway and alteration of the tumor and immune microenvironments, and its antitumor activity could be enhanced in combination with anti-PD-1 antibody.

Modulation of Immune Checkpoints by Chemotherapy in Human Colorectal Liver Metastases

Scientists investigated the impact of chemotherapy on the tumor immune microenvironment. They treated human liver metastases slices with 5-fluorouracil plus either irinotecan or oxaliplatin, then performed single-cell transcriptome analyses.
