Abstract In solid tumors, the presence of lymph node–like structures called tertiary lymphoid (TLS) is associated with improved patient survival. However, little known about how TLS develop in cancer, their function affects survival, and whether they are affected by cancer therapy. this study, we used multispectral microscopy, quantitative pathology, gene expression profiling to analyze formation human lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) an experimental model induction. We identified a niche...

Aerobic organisms need to maintain cellular redox homeostasis. Glutathione peroxidase-4 (Gpx4) has the unique ability protect cells against lipid peroxidation. Here, we show that Gpx4 is absolutely required prevent ferroptosis during development, maintenance, and responses of innate-like B cells, namely, B1 marginal zone (MZ) cells. In contrast, dispensable for germinal center reactions, antibody follicular B2 Mechanistically, increased metabolism sensitivity peroxidation in MZ compared...

Antioxidant systems, such as the thioredoxin-1 (Trx1) pathway, ensure cellular redox homeostasis. However, how systems regulate development and function of myeloid cells is barely understood. Here we show that in contrast to its critical role T cells, murine Trx1 system dispensable for steady-state myeloid-cell hematopoiesis due their capacity tap glutathione/glutaredoxin pathway DNA biosynthesis. instrumentally enables nuclear NF-κB DNA-binding thereby pro-inflammatory responses monocytes...

Thioredoxin-1 (Trx1) is a vital component for cellular redox homeostasis. In T cells, Trx1 donates electrons the de novo synthesis of deoxyribonucleotides to allow rapid cell proliferation. The Trx-interacting protein (Txnip) binds reduced and inhibits its activity. However, role Txnip in adaptive immunity vivo unknown. Here, we show that absence increased proliferation effector cells GC B-cell responses response lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus Qβ virus-like particles, respectively, but...

Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) is effective in patients melanoma, although long-term responses seem restricted who have complete remissions. Many develop secondary resistance to TIL-ACT but the involved mechanisms are unclear. In this study, we describe a case of possibly due intratumoral heterogeneity and selection resistant tumor clone by transferred T cells. To best our knowledge, first clonal pre-existing nondominant clone; report demonstrates...

Antioxidant systems maintain cellular redox homeostasis. The thioredoxin-1 (Trx1) and the glutathione (GSH)/glutaredoxin-1 (Grx1) are key players in preserving cytosolic balance. In fact, T lymphocytes critically rely on reducing equivalents from Trx1 system for DNA biosynthesis during metabolic reprogramming upon activation. We here show that is also indispensable development functionality of marginal zone (MZ) B cells B1 mice. contrast, conventional cells, follicular B-cell homeostasis,...

Abstract CAR T-cell therapy has improved outcomes for patients with chemotherapy-resistant B-cell malignancies. However, treatment of solid cancers been more difficult, in part because the heterogeneous expression tumor-specific cell surface antigens. Here, we describe generation a fully human targeting altered glycosylation secretory epithelial cancers. The target antigen – truncated, sialylated O-glycan sialyl-Thomsen-Nouveau (STn) was studied highly STn-specific antibody across various...

Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) is a personalized immunotherapy. The efficacy of TIL-ACT has been demonstrated prospectively in patients advanced melanoma but not limited to patients. Many are refractory TIL-ACT, however, or their cancer becomes resistant. Combining anti-programmed death protein 1 (anti-PD-1) antagonize the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment may synergize enhance antitumor potential. We set up Between 2020 and 2022, we enrolled 11...
