This retrospective study included 94 patients who received ICIs and had thyroid function and troponin T levels, markers of cardiac damage, measured at the National Cancer Center Hospital East between January 2017 and July 2022. Of the 94 patients, 36 (38%) showed elevated troponin levels after ICI treatment during the follow-up period. The median observation period was 249 days (interquartile range, 124-502 d). Thyroid irAEs [hypothyroidism (n=13) and hyperthyroidism (n=3)] associations were found in 16 (44%) of these 36 patients. None of the patients developed overt cardiovascular disease or died of heart disease, regardless of whether they experienced thyroid irAEs. The troponin levels increased with increasing thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels. In particular, troponin levels were significantly elevated in patients with TSH >20 μIU/mL after ICI treatment (P=0.009). In conclusion, thyroid irAEs may cause cardiac damage indicated by elevated troponin levels, necessitating special attention, particularly in cases of hypothyroidism where TSH exceeds 20 μIU/mL. Therefore, it is important to monitor cardiac markers along with thyroid function after ICI treatment.","PeriodicalId":15996,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immunotherapy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143710253","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}

Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a regulated form of cell death and could activate adaptive immune response. As one of the damage-associated molecular patterns during ICD process, surface-exposed CALR resulted in the activation of adaptive immune response. Here, we evaluated the expression patterns of CALR in a cohort of 231 untreated triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and determined correlations between CALR expression and clinicopathologic parameters, programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in immune cells (ICs), and survival. In addition, we analyzed a TNBC data set from The Cancer Genome Atlas to explore the relationship between mRNA expression of CALR and clinicopathologic features, IC infiltration, and survival. Tissue microarray results showed that high CLAR was strongly correlated with advanced stage (P = 0.022), shorter disease-free survival (P = 0.008) and overall survival (P = 0.002), and independently predicted prognosis in TNBC. Spearman analyses demonstrated that CALR negatively correlated with PD-L1 in ICs (r = -0.198, P = 0.003). Patients with low CALR and high PD-L1 in ICs had the best disease-free survival (P = 0.013) and overall survival (P = 0.004) compared with other patients, especially the patients with high CALR and low PD-L1 in ICs. In the \"The Cancer Genome Atlas\" cohort, CALR mRNA expression in tumors was significantly higher than that in normal tissues (P < 0.001). CALR expression was strongly and positively related to other ICD-related genes. These findings demonstrated that the expression of CALR could independently predict the prognosis in patients with TNBC, and it may play a potential synergistic role in treatments involving immunotherapy.","PeriodicalId":15996,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immunotherapy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143692408","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}

The aims of this study were to investigate the immune-promoting action of nucleolar and spindle-associated protein 1 (NUSAP1) and identify an immunotherapy target for HCC. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) was used to analyze interaction molecules and immune correlation. The interaction between NUSAP1 and SHC binding and spindle associated 1 (SHCBP1) was examined. The role of the SHCBP1/Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (SHCBP1/JAK2/STAT3) pathway in this process was explored. After co-culture with HCC cell lines, the differentiation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) into dendritic cells (DC) was evaluated by measuring the expression of surface factors CD1a and CD86. Pathological tissues from 50 patients with HCC were collected to validate the results of cell experiments. The expression levels of CD1a and CD86 in tissues were also determined. The results show that NUSAP1 interacted with SHCBP1 and was positively correlated with DC. In HCC cell lines, an interaction was observed between NUSAP1 and SHCBP1. It was verified that NUSAP1 inhibited the JAK2/STAT3 phosphorylation pathway by blocking SHCBP1. After co-culture, the levels of CD1a and CD86 in PBMC were elevated. In the clinical specimens, CD1a and CD86 expression levels were significantly higher in the high-NUSAP1 group versus the low-NUSAP1 group. In Summary, NUSAP1 enhanced immunity by inhibiting the SHCBP1/JAK2/STAT3 phosphorylation pathway and promoted DC generation and HCC apoptosis.

Recent advancements in immunotherapy are noteworthy. This study explores immune modulation for CRC treatment. Initially targeting poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1), a gene overexpressed in CRC tissues per The Cancer Genome Atlas, we examined its correlation with immune cell infiltration using the Tumor Immune Estimation Resource tool. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assessed PARP-1 mRNA and inflammation-related gene expression in tumor tissues and cells. Assessing CD8 + T-cell proliferation and cytotoxicity towards HCT116 cells involved carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester and lactate dehydrogenase kits. Chemotaxis was gauged using a Transwell system in a CD8 + T-cell coculture setup, with immunofluorescence revealing cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) and stimulator of interferon genes (STING) levels in HCT116 cells. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits measured CD8 + T-cell cytokine secretion. The findings suggested that PARP-1 was overexpressed in CRC tissues and cells and this overexpression was positively correlated with Treg cell infiltration. Overexpression of PARP-1 could significantly reduce the proportion of cGAS and STING-positive cells in HCT116 cells, dampen the proliferation, tumor-killing capacity, and chemotaxis of CD8 + T cells, and inhibit the secretion of related cytokines. The introduction of STING agonists could reverse the effects caused by overexpressed PARP-1. In vivo experiments affirmed the independent anti-tumor effects of PARP-1 inhibitors and STING agonists, synergistically inhibiting tumor growth. Silencing PARP-1 in HCT116 cells potentially boosts CD8 + T-cell activity against these cells through the cGAS-STING pathway.","PeriodicalId":15996,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immunotherapy","volume":" ","pages":"35-45"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142950192","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}

Immunotherapy has arisen as a promising strategy to stimulate the patient's immune system in combating cancer cells. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of immunotherapy in individuals with gastric cancer (GC) is not yet optimal. Thus, it is crucial to discover biomarkers capable appof predicting the advantages of immunotherapy for tailored treatment. The tumor microenvironment (TME) and its constituents, including cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), exert a substantial influence on immune responses and treatment outcomes. In this investigation, we utilized single-cell RNA sequencing to profile CAFs in GC and established a scoring method, referred to as the CAF score (CAFS), for the prediction of patient prognosis and response to immunotherapy. Through our analysis, we successfully identified distinct subgroups within CAFs based on CAF score (CAFS), namely CAFS-high and CAFS-low subgroups. Notably, we noted that individuals within the CAFS-high subgroup experienced a lessF favorable prognosis and displayed diminished responsiveness to immunotherapy in contrast to the CAFS low subgroup. Furthermore, we analyzed the mutation and immune characteristics of these subgroups, identifying differentially mutated genes and immune cell compositions. We established that CAFS could forecast treatment advantages in patients with gastric cancer, both for chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Its efficacy was additionally confirmed in contrast to other biomarkers, including Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion (TIDE) and Immunophenotypic Score (IPS). These findings emphasize the clinical relevance and potential utility of CAFS in guiding personalized treatment strategies for gastric cancer.","PeriodicalId":15996,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immunotherapy","volume":" ","pages":"63-77"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142108094","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}

Patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk groups by DCMGS risk score based on overall survival time. Then, the predictive ability of the risk model was validated in 6 independent cohorts. DCMGS was verified to be an independent prognostic factor in multivariate analysis. Furthermore, we performed pathway enrichment analysis to explore possible biological mechanisms of the powerful predictive ability of DCMGS, and immune cell infiltration landscape and inflammatory activities were exhibited to reflect the immune profile. Notably, we bridged DCMGS with expression of immune checkpoints and TCR/BCR repertoire diversity that can inflect immunotherapy response. Finally, the predictive ability of DCMGS in immunotherapy response was also validated by 2 cohorts that had received immunotherapy.

Extensive knowledge of the prevalence of expression and coexpression of CTAs is critical to design T-cell therapies with optimal coverage of the patient population. We analyzed the expression of CTAs of the MAGE-A family as well as NY-ESO-1 and preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma (PRAME) by RNA sequencing in a large cohort of 133 SyS samples from patients registered in the French sarcoma database (NETSARC+). Among MAGE-As, MAGE-A4 had the highest prevalence (65%), followed by MAGE-A10 (15%) and MAGE-A9 (13%). Almost all samples (92%) expressing any of the MAGE-As also expressed MAGE-A4. NY-ESO-1 was expressed in 65% of samples, with a large but incomplete overlap with MAGE-A4, whereas PRAME was present in 121 (91%) samples. Complementary immunohistochemical analyses were used to establish the positive correlation between RNA and protein expression for MAGE-A4 and NY-ESO-1.

This brief report details that the combination of vaccine with treatments IFN and 5Aza results in an increase in the TME of a distinct CD11c+ CD8+ T-cell population. This cell population correlates with tumor size, is primarily comprised of effector or effector memory T cells, and has a more robust response to ex vivo stimulation as compared with CD11c- CD8+ T cells. In conclusion, this combination therapy results in a greater presence of highly active effector CD8+ T cells expressing CD11c in the TME, which are likely primary contributors to treatment efficacy.","PeriodicalId":15996,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Immunotherapy","volume":" ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11617275/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142467476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
