Aluminum salt-based adjuvants primarily stimulate CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells and B cell mediated Th2 immune response leading to generate a robust antibody response. In this review article, we have compiled the role of physio-chemical role of the two commonly used aluminum salt-based adjuvants alhydrogel and Adju-Phos, and the effect of surface properties, buffer composition, and adjuvant dosage on the immune response. After being studied for almost a century, researchers have come up with various mechanism by which these aluminum adjuvants activate the immune system. Firstly, we have covered the initial works of Glenny and his \"repository effect\" which paved the work for his successors to explore the involvement of cytokines, chemokines, recruitment of innate immune cells, enhanced antigen uptake by antigen presenting cells, and formation of NLRP3 inflammasome complex in mediating the immune response. It has been reported that aluminum adjuvants activate multiple immunological pathways which synergistically activates the immune system.

KCNK6, by regulating K(+) efflux to reduce NLRP3 Inflammasome-induced lung injury, relaxes the aorta. This study aims to elucidate the effects and biological mechanism of KCNK6 in inflammation-associated carcinogenesis, which may be essential for colon homeostasis and the defense system. To induce colitis, mice were given 3.0% Dextran Sodium Sulfate (DSS) in their drinking water for 7 days. The Azoxymethane (AOM) +DSS method was used to induce colon cancer in the mice model. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) from Kcnk6-/- mice, AW264.7 cells, and human colon cancer HCT116 and Caco2 cells were used as in vitro models. The loss of Kcnk6 prevented spontaneous colitis and restored mucosal integrity and homeostatic molecules. Additionally, the loss of Kcnk6 reduced the severity of AOM/DSS-induced carcinogenesis. Kcnk6 promoted cell viability and proliferation in HCT-116 or Caco-2 cells. The loss of Kcnk6 inhibited the levels of inflammatory factors in BMDM cells. Kcnk6 accelerated potassium channel activity, inducing NLRP3 inflammasome activation. METTL3-mediated m6A modification increased Kcnk6 stability in a YTHDF2-dependent manner. Histone lactylation activated the transcription of YTHDF2/Kcnk6. Our study revealed the important role of Kcnk6 in inflammation-associated carcinogenesis progression.

Consequently, the examination of tumor metabolic heterogeneity, including an exploration of immunometabolism, proves indispensable for enhancing prognostic tools and advancing the quest for personalized treatments.

However, the efficacy of immunotherapy is hindered by the tumor microenvironment (TME), comprising regulatory T cells (Tregs), macrophages, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), neutrophils, soluble factors (TGF-β, IL-35, IL-10), and hypoxia. These components interact with inhibitory receptors (IRs) on T cells, leading to alterations in T cell transcriptomes, epigenomes, and metabolism, ultimately resulting in T cell exhaustion and compromising the effectiveness of immunotherapy. T cell exhaustion occurs in two phases: pre-exhaustion and exhaustion. Pre-exhausted T cells exhibit reversibility and distinct molecular properties compared to terminally exhausted T cells. Understanding these differences is crucial for designing effective interventions. This comprehensive review summarizes the characteristics of pre-exhausted and exhausted T cells and elucidates the influence of TME components on T cell activity, transcriptomes, epigenomes, and metabolism, ultimately driving T cell exhaustion in cancer. Additionally, potential intervention strategies for reversing exhaustion are discussed. By gaining insights into the mechanisms underlying T cell exhaustion and the impact of the TME, this review aims to inform the development of innovative approaches for combating T cell exhaustion and enhancing the efficacy of immunotherapy in cancer treatment.","PeriodicalId":14333,"journal":{"name":"International Reviews of Immunology","volume":"57 1","pages":"1-22"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
