Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) therapy targeting programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programmed ligand (PD-L1) shows promising clinical benefits. However, the relatively low response rate highlights need to develop an alternative strategy target PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint. Our study focuses on role and mechanism of annexin A1 (ANXA1)-derived peptide A11 degrading PD-L1 effect tumor evasion in multiple cancers. Methods Binding was identified by biotin pull-down coupled with mass...

The deregulation of Annexin A1 (ANXA1), a regulator inflammation and immunity, leads to cancer growth metastasis. However, whether ANXA1 is involved in immunosuppression still unclear. Here, we report that knockdown (i) dramatically downregulates programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression breast cancer, lung melanoma cells; (ii) promotes T cell-mediated killing cells vitro; (iii) inhibits immune escape immune-competent mice via downregulating PD-L1 increasing the number activity CD8+...

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a highly invasive malignant tumor and the majority of patients have advanced stage ESCC at diagnosis with poor outcome. Identification sensitive specific biomarkers for early screening critical improving patient overall survival. Pyrosequencing was used to determine magnitude DNA methylation on selected regions PAX1 (paired box gene1), SOX1(sex determining region Y-box-1), ZNF582 (zinc finger protein 582) in ESCC. The levels ofPAX1, SOX1, genes...

Hypermethylation of specific gene promoters is an important mechanism carcinogenesis. A high frequency promoter methylation PAX1 and ZNF582 genes has been detected in cervical cancer. In the present study, we investigated status esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissues. Tumor paracancerous tissues were obtained from 14 ESCC patients. Genomic DNA was extracted both tumor tissues, concentration determined. analysis carried out using quantitative methylation-specific PCR. To assess...

Abstract Background Ubiquitination is an important molecular event in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), which currently mainly studied nonsmall models but lacking of ubiquitination studies on LSCC tissues. Here, we presented the ubiquitinated protein profiles tissues to explore ubiquitination-involved network alterations and identify abnormally proteins as useful biomarkers for predictive, preventive, personalized medicine (PPPM) LSCC. Methods Anti-ubiquitin antibody-based enrichment...

Metastasis in lung cancer portends a poor prognosis, and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) cells is considered prerequisite to achieve metastatic potential. Recent studies indicate that BTB/POZ domain-containing protein 7 (BTBD7) regulates EMT-associated proteins human malignancies however, role of BTBD7 have not been identified. In present study, we examined expression status its association with unfavorable clinical features non-small-cell (NSCLC). Firstly, studied fresh...
