Immunogenic cell death (ICD) inducers have attracted considerable interest as combinatorial partners for ICIs, at least in part owing to their ability to initiate a tumor-targeting adaptive immune response. However, compared with either approach alone, combinatorial regimens involving ICD inducers and ICIs have not always shown superior clinical activity. Here, we discuss accumulating evidence on the therapeutic interactions between ICD inducers and immunotherapy with ICIs in oncological settings, identify key factors that may explain discrepancies between preclinical and clinical findings, and propose strategies that address existing challenges to increase the efficacy of these combinations in patients with cancer.","PeriodicalId":9950,"journal":{"name":"Cellular &Molecular Immunology","volume":"22 1","pages":"24-39"},"PeriodicalIF":21.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41423-024-01245-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142799548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While combining immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and radiotherapy in patients with pancreatic cancer (PC) has yielded promising clinical results, the addition of an anti-IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) antibody has failed to elicit clinical benefits. Notably, a robust TGFβ-specific immune response at baseline in PC patients treated solely with ICIs and radiotherapy correlated with improved survival. Recent preclinical studies demonstrated the efficacy of a TGFβ-based immune modulatory vaccine in controlling PC tumor growth, underscoring the important role of TGFβ-specific immunity in PC. Here, we explored the importance of IL-6 for TGFβ-specific immunity in PC. In a murine model of PC, coadministration of the TGFβ-based immune modulatory vaccine with an anti-IL-6R antibody rendered the vaccine ineffective. IL-6R blockade hampered the development of vaccine-induced T-cells and tumoral T-cell infiltration. Furthermore, it impaired the myeloid population, resulting in increased tumor-associated macrophage infiltration and an enhanced immunosuppressive phenotype. In PC patients, in contrast to those receiving only ICIs and radiotherapy, robust TGFβ-specific T-cell responses at baseline did not correlate with improved survival in patients receiving ICIs, radiotherapy and IL-6R blockade. Peripheral blood immunophenotyping revealed that IL-6R blockade altered the T-cell and monocytic compartments, which was consistent with the findings in the murine model. Our data suggest that the antitumor efficacy of TGFβ-specific T cells in PC depends on the presence of IL-6 within the tumor. Consequently, caution should be exercised when employing IL-6R blockade in patients receiving cancer immunotherapy.","PeriodicalId":9950,"journal":{"name":"Cellular &Molecular Immunology","volume":"22 1","pages":"111-126"},"PeriodicalIF":21.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41423-024-01238-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142799561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These cells are essential for maintaining and regaining tissue homeostasis. Neutrophils can be viewed as double-edged swords in a range of situations. The potent killing machinery necessary for immune responses to pathogens can easily lead to collateral damage to host tissues when inappropriately controlled. Furthermore, some subtypes of neutrophils are potent pathogen killers, whereas others are immunosuppressive or can aid in tissue healing. Finally, in tumor immunology, many examples of both protumorigenic and antitumorigenic properties of neutrophils have been described. This has important consequences for cancer therapy, as targeting neutrophils can lead to either suppressed or stimulated antitumor responses. This review will discuss the current knowledge regarding the pro- and antitumorigenic roles of neutrophils, leading to the concept of a confused state of neutrophil-driven pro-/antitumor responses.","PeriodicalId":9950,"journal":{"name":"Cellular &Molecular Immunology","volume":"22 1","pages":"4-23"},"PeriodicalIF":21.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41423-024-01244-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142799551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While emerging evidence implicates increased frequencies of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) and increased interleukin (IL)-33 expression in EoE pathogenesis, the precise mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of ILC2s in EoE pathogenesis. We observed an abundance of KLRG1+ ILC2s in the esophagi of healthy mice, with their numbers significantly increasing in murine EoE models and humans. Using a murine EoE model, we demonstrated the recapitulation of EoE-associated features, including basal-cell hyperproliferation, epithelial thickening, and eosinophilia. Notably, these characteristics are absent in ILC-deficient mice, whereas mice lacking IL-5 or eosinophils display epithelial defects, highlighting the pivotal role of ILC2s in EoE pathogenesis. Further investigations revealed increased amphiregulin (Areg) production by esophageal ILC2s in mice. The administration of Areg induced epithelial defects similar to those observed in EoE. Mechanistic studies using human esophageal cell lines revealed Areg-induced phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Significatntly, treatment with anti-Areg agents and EGFR inhibitors effectively attenuated EoE development, highlighting the therapeutic potential of targeting the Areg-EGFR axis.","PeriodicalId":9950,"journal":{"name":"Cellular &Molecular Immunology","volume":"22 1","pages":"97-110"},"PeriodicalIF":21.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41423-024-01242-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142799544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although it is widely believed that SLE originates from immune cell dysregulation, the etiology of SLE is not yet clear. Here, we propose a new theory in which SLE can be directly initiated by molecular alterations in keratinocytes rather than immune cells. We found that the level of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is substantially reduced in the skin lesions of patients, and replicating this reduction in mice led to rapid disease onset with multiple hallmarks of SLE. As PPARγ decreases in keratinocytes, which is accompanied by increased occupancy of interferon regulatory factor 3 at the type I interferon locus, dendritic cells (DCs) are recruited to the epidermis and are activated by keratinocyte-secreted type I interferon. These activated DCs migrate to local draining lymph nodes, where they activate CD4+ T cells in a non-MHC II-dependent manner, promoting their differentiation into effector T cells and thus contributing to disease onset. Our study revealed that the dysregulation of keratinocytes can be a pathogenic driver of SLE and describes a new mouse model that mimics human SLE. Our data also emphasize the pivotal role of skin immunity in the onset of systemic autoimmune disease.","PeriodicalId":9950,"journal":{"name":"Cellular &Molecular Immunology","volume":"22 1","pages":"83-96"},"PeriodicalIF":21.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142766649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

O-GlcNAcylation is a dynamic and reversible posttranslational modification of nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins that regulates various protein functions, including DNA-binding affinity and protein–protein interactions. However, the effects of O-GlcNAcylation on proteins involved in V(D)J recombination remain largely unknown. To elucidate this relationship, we downregulated O-GlcNAcylation in a mouse model by administering an O-GlcNAc inhibitor or restricting the consumption of a regular diet. Interestingly, the inhibition of O-GlcNAcylation in mice severely impaired Ig heavy-chain (IgH) gene rearrangement. We identified several factors crucial for V(D)J recombination, including YY1, CTCF, SMC1, and SMC3, as direct targets of O-GlcNAc modification. Importantly, O-GlcNAcylation regulates the physical interaction between SMC1 and SMC3 and the DNA-binding patterns of YY1 at the IgH gene locus. Moreover, O-GlcNAc inhibition downregulated DDX5 protein expression, affecting the functional association of CTCF with its DNA-binding sites at the IgH locus. Our results showed that locus contraction and long-range interactions throughout the IgH locus are disrupted in a manner dependent on the cellular O-GlcNAc level. In this study, we established that V(D)J recombination relies on the O-GlcNAc status of stage-specific proteins during early B-cell development and identified O-GlcNAc-dependent mechanisms as new regulatory components for the development of a diverse antibody repertoire.","PeriodicalId":9950,"journal":{"name":"Cellular &Molecular Immunology","volume":"22 1","pages":"68-82"},"PeriodicalIF":21.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142766635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the function of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α in immunoglobulin production remains incompletely characterized. Here, we demonstrated that B cells lacking HIF-1α exhibited significantly lower glycolytic metabolism and impaired IgA production. Loss of HIF-1α in B cells affects IgA-producing B-cell differentiation and exacerbates dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis. Conversely, promoting HIF-1α stabilization via a PHD inhibitor roxadustat enhances IgA class switching and alleviates intestinal inflammation. Mechanistically, HIF-1α facilitates IgA class switching through acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) accumulation, which is essential for histone H3K27 acetylation at the Sα region. Consequently, supplementation with acetyl-CoA improved defective IgA production in Hif1a-deficient B cells and limited experimental colitis. Collectively, these findings highlight the critical importance of HIF-1α in IgA class switching and the potential for targeting the HIF-1α-dependent metabolic‒epigenetic axis to treat inflammatory bowel diseases and other inflammatory disorders.","PeriodicalId":9950,"journal":{"name":"Cellular &Molecular Immunology","volume":"22 1","pages":"54-67"},"PeriodicalIF":21.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41423-024-01233-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142615998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
