Medical Publishing Insights & Practices (MPIP)—a partnership among pharmaceutical companies and the International Society for Publication Professionals—aims to identify ways improve transparency credibility in publishing results of industry sponsored research. This article provides guidance from MPIP on clinically relevant more informative adverse event reporting, previously identified by journal editors as a significant unmet need patient care increase publications.

Activation of the stimulator interferon genes (STING) pathway promotes antitumor immunity but STING agonists have yet to achieve clinical success. Increased understanding mechanism action in human tumors is key developing therapeutic combinations that activate effective innate immunity. Here, we report malignant pleural mesothelioma cells robustly express and are responsive agonist treatment ex vivo. Using dynamic single-cell RNA sequencing explants treated with a agonist, observed CXCR3...
Abstract Ubiquitination of eukaryotic proteins regulates a broad range cellular processes, including regulation T cell activation and tolerance. We have previously demonstrated that gene related to anergy in lymphocytes (GRAIL), ring finger ubiquitin E3 ligase, is required for the induction anergy; however, substrate(s) GRAIL ligase activity is/are unknown. In this study, we report novel prokaryotic system developed screen substrates ligases. Using screen, Rho guanine dissociation inhibitor...
The ubiquitin E3 ligase gene related to anergy in lymphocytes (GRAIL) (Rnf128) is a type 1 transmembrane protein that induces T cell through the ubiquitination activity of its cytosolic RING finger. GRAIL also contains an equally large luminal region consisting primarily uncharacterized protease-associated (PA) domain. Using two-hybrid technology screen for proteins bound PA domain we identified CD151, member tetraspanin family membrane proteins. luminal/extracellular portion both CD151 and...
Activation of naive T lymphocytes is regulated through a series discrete checkpoints that maintain unresponsiveness to self. During this multistep process, costimulatory interactions act as inducible signals allow APCs selectively mobilize cells against foreign Ags. In study, we provide evidence the anergy-associated E3 ubiquitin ligase GRAIL (gene related anergy in lymphocytes) regulates expression molecule CD40L on CD4 cells. Using its luminal protease-associated domain, binds...
The tumor microenvironment (TME) in solid tumors contains myeloid cells that modulate local immune activity. STING signaling activation these enhances type I interferon (IFN) production, inducing an innate response mobilizes adaptive immunity and reprograms immunosuppressive populations to drive antitumor immunity. Here, we generated TAK-500, cell directed antibody drug conjugate (iADC), deliver a agonist CCR2+ human enhanced activity relative non-targeted agonists. Preclinically, TAK-500...
