Abstract Despite recent advances in the use of immunotherapy, only a minority patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) respond to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Here, we show that targeting DNA damage response (DDR) proteins PARP and kinase 1 (CHK1) significantly increased protein surface expression PD-L1. or CHK1 inhibition remarkably potentiated antitumor effect PD-L1 augmented cytotoxic T-cell infiltration multiple immunocompetent SCLC vivo models. CD8+ depletion reversed effect,...
Abstract Although treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors provides promising benefit for patients cancer, optimal use is encumbered by high resistance rates and requires a thorough understanding of mechanisms. We observed that tumors treated PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies develop through the upregulation CD38, which induced all-trans retinoic acid IFNβ in tumor microenvironment. In vitro vivo studies demonstrate CD38 inhibits CD8+ T-cell function via adenosine receptor signaling or...
Abstract Purpose: Promising results in the treatment of non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have been seen with agents targeting immune checkpoints, such as programmed death 1 (PD-1) or ligand-1 (PD-L1). However, only a select group patients respond to these interventions. The identification biomarkers that predict clinical benefit checkpoint blockade is critical successful translation agents. Methods: We conducted an integrated analysis three independent large datasets, including Cancer...
Abstract Tumor extracellular matrix has been associated with drug resistance and immune suppression. Here, proteomic RNA profiling reveal increased collagen levels in lung tumors resistant to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. Additionally, elevated correlates decreased total CD8 + T cells exhausted cell subpopulations murine human tumors. Collagen-induced exhaustion occurs through the receptor LAIR1, which is upregulated following CD18 interaction collagen, induces SHP-1. Reduction tumor deposition LOXL2...

Abstract Understanding resistance mechanisms to targeted therapies and immune checkpoint blockade in mutant KRAS lung cancers is critical developing novel combination improving patient survival. Here, we show that MEK inhibition enhanced PD-L1 expression while upregulated MAPK signaling tumors. Combined with anti-PD-L1 synergistically reduced tumor growth metastasis, but tumors eventually developed sustained combinatorial therapy. Multi-platform profiling revealed resistant have increased...
ABSTRACT The UVB (290–320 nm) radiation in sunlight is responsible for inducing skin cancer. Exposure to UV also immunosuppressive, and the systemic immune suppression induced by a well-recognized risk factor cancer induction. As absorbed within upper layers of skin, indirect mechanisms must play role activating suppression. One prominent example mast cell migration, which from draining LN an essential step cascade events leading What triggers migration not entirely clear. Here, we tested...

Epithelial–mesenchymal transition and immunosuppression are crucial for cancer metastasis treatment resistance. The mechanism by which these distinct processes co-opted remains incompletely understood. Our recent work has exposed the "dirty affairs" of 2 at tumor site, thus calling a combined therapy to break such dangerous liaison.
The 4EGI-1 is the prototypic inhibitor of eIF4E/eIF4G interaction, a potent translation initiation in vitro and vivo an efficacious anticancer agent animal models human cancers. We report on design, synthesis, characterization series rigidified mimetic this which phenyl 2-(4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)thiazol-2-yl) moiety was bridged into tricyclic system. bridge consisted one following: ethylene, methylene oxide, methylenesulfide, methylenesulfoxide, methylenesulfone. Numerous analogues were found...
Cancer cells modulate the recruitment and function of inflammatory to create an immunosuppressive microenvironment that favors tumor growth metastasis. However, tumor-derived regulatory programs promote intratumoral immunosuppression remain poorly defined. Here, we show in a KrasLA1/+p53R172HΔg/+-based mouse model bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) augments expression T cell co-inhibitory receptor ligand PD-L1 mesenchymal subset lung cancer cells, leading profound CD8+ cell-mediated...
CXCL14 is a relatively new chemokine with unidentified receptor and undefined function. Recently, we found that upregulated in arthritic joints mouse model of autoimmune arthritis, collagen-induced arthritis. To examine the role development pathogenesis have generated transgenic (Tg) mice overexpress under control phosphoglycerate kinase promoter. The results showed CXCL14-Tg developed more severe arthritis compared wild-type controls. draining lymph nodes were significantly enlarged...
Introduction Despite significant clinical advancement with the use of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) there are still a major subset patients that develop adaptive/acquired resistance. Understanding resistance mechanisms to ICB is critical developing new therapeutic strategies and improving patient survival. The dynamic nature tumor microenvironment mutational load driving immunogenicity limit efficacy ICB. Recent studies indicate myeloid cells drivers...
