Increased tumor-infiltrating plasmacytoid dendritic cells express high levels of PD-L2 and affect CD8 < sup > + < /sup > T lymphocyte infiltration in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma
In this study, flow cytometric analyses were conducted to characterize the infiltration of dendritic cells and T lymphocytes, along with their respective subgroups in tumor tissues (TT), para-carcinoma tissues (PT), and peripheral blood (PB) from LSCC patients. Immunohistochemical staining for CD4 and CD8, as well as immunofluorescence staining for CD123, were performed on serial tissue sections to investigate the co-localization of TI-pDC and tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TIL) within the tumor microenvironment (TME). Our results demonstrated significantly lower percentages of all three DC subsets in PB compared to TT ...

Effects of chronic stress on cancer development and the therapeutic prospects of adrenergic signaling regulation
Biomed Pharmacother. 2024 Apr 27;175:116609. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116609. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLong-term chronic stress is an important factor in the poor prognosis of cancer patients. Chronic stress reduces the tissue infiltration of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) by continuously activating the adrenergic signaling, inhibits antitumor immune response and tumor cell apoptosis while also inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and tumor angiogenesis, promoting tumor invasion and metastasis. This review first summarizes how adrenergic signaling activates intracellular signaling by bi...

Tumor cells inhibit the activation of ILC2s through up-regulating PD-1 expression
Immunopharmacol Immunotoxicol. 2024 Apr 28:1-10. doi: 10.1080/08923973.2024.2347315. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUp-regulating programmed cell death ligand-1(PD-L1) expressed on tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells interacting with up-regulated programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) expressed on tumor-infiltrating lymphoid cells greatly hinder their tumor-inhibiting effect. It is necessary to explore the deep mechanism of this negative effect, so as to find the potential methods to improve the immunotherapy efficiency. Here, we found that the PD-1 expression in lung cancer-infiltrating type II innate lymphoid cells (...

Characterization of the prognostic, diagnostic, and immunological roles of DSCC1 and its genomic alteration and instability in human cancers
In this study, we obtained data on physiological conditions, transcriptional expression, survival prognosis, genomic alteration, genomic instability, enriched pathways, immune infiltration, and immunotherapy from The Cancer Genome Atlas, The Genotype-Tissue Expression, cBioPortal, and other publicly available databases to systematically characterize the oncogenic and immunological roles of DSCC1 in 33 different cancers. We found that DSCC1 expression was upregulated at both mRNA and protein levels in various cancers. Additionally, DSCC1 expression was associated with higher tumor stage and grade in specific cancers. DSCC1 ...

Improving tumor sensitivity by the introduction of an ester chain to triaryl derivatives targeting PD-1/PD-L1
Eur J Med Chem. 2024 Apr 25;271:116433. doi: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2024.116433. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPD-1/PD-L1 pathway blockade is a promising immunotherapy for the treatment of cancer. In this manuscript, a series of triaryl compounds containing ester chains were designed and synthesized based on the pharmacophore studies of the lead BMS-1. After several SAR iterations, 22 showed the best biochemical activity binding to hPD-L1 with an IC50 of 1.21 nM in HTRF assay, and a KD value of 5.068 nM in SPR analysis. Cell-based experiments showed that 22 effectively promoted A549 cell death by restoring T-cell immune function...

Mechanistic role of pyroptosis in tumor microenvironment and tumor immunotherapy
Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand). 2024 Apr 28;70(4):260-267. doi: 10.14715/cmb/2024.70.4.41.ABSTRACTIn recent decades, extraordinary attention has been devoted to cell death pathways principally because of multifaceted regulatory roles in normal developmental and pathophysiological processes. The removal of functionally defective, infected or potentially malignant cells is regulated by programmed cell death (PCD) cascades. Pyroptotic cell death is a highly complicated pro-inflammatory form of cell death. Pyroptosis is characterized by the formation of pores in the plasma membrane by oligomerization of the N-terminal fragment...
