Checkpoint inhibitors like anti-PD1/PD-L1 have demonstrated significant therapeutic efficacy in a subset of patients partly through reinvigoration CD8 T cells. However, their impact on myeloid cells remains largely unknown. Here, we report that anti-PD-L1 treatment favorably impacts the phenotype and function tumor macrophages by polarizing macrophage compartment toward more proinflammatory phenotype. This was characterized decrease Arginase-I (ARG1) expression an increase iNOS, MHCII, CD40...

Abstract The DNA exonuclease three-prime repair 1 (TREX1) is critical for preventing autoimmunity in mice and humans by degrading endogenous cytosolic DNA, which otherwise triggers activation of the innate cGAS/STING pathway leading to production type I IFNs. As tumor cells are prone aberrant accumulation, we hypothesized that they critically dependent on TREX1 activity limit their immunogenicity. Here, show cells, restricts spontaneous pathway, subsequent induction a IFN response. result,...

Exhausted T cells have been described in cancer patients and murine tumor models largely based on their expression of various inhibitory receptors. Understanding the functional attributes these is limited. Here, we report that among CD8+ commonly used syngeneic models, coexpression receptors PD-1, LAG3, TIM3 defined a group highly activated effector cells. Coexpression further enriched for antigen-specific with increased T-cell receptor clonality. Anti-PD-L1 treatment number activation...

Background Cancer immunotherapy has evolved from interferon-alpha (IFNα) and interleukin-2 in the 1980s to CTLA-4 PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs), latter highlighting importance of enhancing T-cell functions. While search for novel immunomodulatory pathways continues, combination therapies augmenting multiple can also increase efficacy. The association autoimmune-related adverse events with clinical efficacy following CPI treatment been inferred suggests that breaking tolerance...

Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is a rare but aggressive tumor often complicated by early lung metastasis with few treatment options and very poor outcomes. There are currently no verified RMC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse models established from metastatic pleural effusion (PE) available to study evaluate new therapeutic options. tissue malignant PE cells an patient were successfully engrafted into 20 NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ (NSG) mice. We evaluated the histopathological...
