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.

Cell-Programmed Nutrient Partitioning in the Tumor Microenvironment

Researchers used PET tracers to measure the access to and uptake of glucose and glutamine by specific cell subsets in the tumor microenvironment. Notably, myeloid cells had the greatest capacity to take up intratumoral glucose, followed by T cells and cancer cells, across a range of cancer models.

Single-Cell Analysis of FOXP3 Deficiencies in Humans and Mice Unmasks Intrinsic and Extrinsic CD4+ T Cell Perturbations

CD4+ T cells in patients with IPEX syndrome and Foxp3-deficient mice were analyzed by single-cell cytometry and RNA-sequencing, revealing heterogeneous Treg-like cells, some very similar to normal Treg cells, others more distant.

Temporal Multiomic Modeling Reveals a B-Cell Receptor Proliferative Program in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Using an original ex vivo model of B-cell receptor-induced proliferation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells, researchers generated 108 temporal transcriptional and proteomic profiles from one hour up to four days after BCR activation.

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.
