Abstract Introduction As one of the major components tumor microenvironment, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) possess profound inhibitory activity against T cells and facilitate escape from immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Converting this pro-tumorigenic toward anti-tumorigenic phenotype thus is an important strategy for enhancing adaptive immunity cancer. However, a plethora mechanisms have been described differentiation in cancer, metabolic switches to program property TAMs are...
Wilms' tumour 1-associating protein (WTAP) is ubiquitously expressed in many tissues and plays an important role physiological processes development. Here, we investigated the specific biological underlying mechanism of WTAP melanoma. We determined expression its correlation with clinicopathological features paraffin-embedded tissues. effects on melanoma cells via a CCK-8 assay, colony formation EdU transwell assay subcutaneous xenograft experiments. then applied RNA sequencing to further...
Abstract Myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) levels are elevated in patients with cancer and contribute to reduced efficacy of immune checkpoint therapy. MDSC express Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) BTK inhibition ibrutinib, an FDA-approved irreversible inhibitor BTK, leads expansion/function mice significantly improves the antitumor activity anti-PD-1 antibody treatments. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was used characterize effect ibrutinib on gene expression...
