BACKGROUND: Microbial-based cancer treatments are an emerging field, with multiple bacterial species evaluated in animal models and some advancing to clinical trials. Noninvasive bacteria-specific imaging approaches can potentially support the development and clinical translation of bacteria-based cancer treatments by assessing the tumor and off-target bacterial colonization. METHODS: 18F-Fluorodeoxysorbitol (18F-FDS) positron emission tomography (PET), a bacteria-specific imaging approach, was used to visualize an attenuated strain of Yersinia enterocolitica, currently in clinical trials as a microbial-based cancer treatment, in murine models of breast cancer...

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a neuroendocrine tumor with a high degree of malignancy. Due to limited treatment options, patients with SCLC have a poor prognosis. We have found, however, that intravenously administered octreotide (Oct) armed with astatine-211 ([211 At]SAB-Oct) is effective against a somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2)-positive SCLC tumor in SCLC tumor-bearing BALB/c nude mice. In biodistribution analysis, [211 At]SAB-Oct achieved the highest concentration in the SCLC tumors up to 3 h after injection as time proceeded...

BACKGROUND: Immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment of patients with metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma (mMCC) has shown high response rates, ranging from 33% to 73%. The ideal duration of treatment, however, is currently unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate if avelumab treatment for mMCC can be safely stopped after 1 year of treatment and a complete response (CR) confirmed by fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) imaging. METHODS: Patients who received more than one dose of avelumab treatment for mMCC between November 2017 and February 2022 were included in this study...

MTORC1 integrates signaling from the immune microenvironment to regulate T cell activation, differentiation, and function. TSC2 in the tuberous sclerosis complex tightly regulates mTORC1 activation. CD8+ T cells lacking TSC2 have constitutively enhanced mTORC1 activity and generate robust effector T cells; however sustained mTORC1 activation prevents generation of long-lived memory CD8+ T cells. Here we show manipulating TSC2 at Ser1365 potently regulates activated but not basal mTORC1 signaling in CD8+ T cells...

Melanoma is a rare but highly lethal type of skin cancer whose incidence is increasing globally. Melanoma is characterized by high resistance to therapy and relapse. Despite significant advances in the treatment of metastatic melanoma, many patients experience progression due to resistance mechanisms. Epigenetic changes, including alterations in chromatin remodeling, DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNA rearrangements, contribute to neoplastic transformation, metastasis, and drug resistance in melanoma...

Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the predominant cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The majority of HCC patients are diagnosed at advanced stages of the disease, with a high likelihood of metastasis and unfavorable prognosis. Anoikis resistance is a crucial factor contributing to tumor invasion and metastasis, although its specific role in HCC remains unclear. Based on the results of univariate Cox regression and least absolute shrink-age and selection operator (LASSO) analysis, a subset of anoikis-related genes (ARGs) significantly associated with overall survival (OS) was identified...

As a pleiotropic cytokine, interleukin-2 (IL-2) can effectively regulate lymphocyte proliferation, survival, and active antitumor immune responses in tumor microenvironments. Although the ability of IL-2 to boost immune responses was reported in cancer patients, its short circulating half-life and high toxicity hinder its broad and continual clinical application. Herein, we developed a novel tumor target agent by fusing pH low insertion peptides (pHLIP) with IL-2, forming the fusion protein pHLIP-IL2. Based on the low pH insertion property of pHLIP, the pHLIP-IL2 fusion protein could be selectively delivered to the acidic tumor microenvironments and then promote the proliferation of killer immune cells to elicit tumor regression...

Neuroblastoma is the most common brain solid tumor in infancy. Despite the availability of numerous approaches like immunotherapy, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, neuroblastoma frequently develops resistance and recurs. Immunotherapy is one of the most promising approaches and PD-L1 antibody blocking is the phenomena used to inhibit PD-1 receptors to increase and improve cytotoxic T cells toward cancer. Numerous studies underlined the critical role of probiotics on immune system development and modulation in addition to possible role in inducing apoptosis in cancer cells...

BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, some patients with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) cannot tolerate or refuse chemotherapy due to the toxicity, necessitating alternative treatments. PD-1 blockade combined with lenvatinib showed promising results in phase II studies with small sample size, but there is a lack of data on the routine use with this regimen. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the regimen in patients with advanced ICC, and to identify predictors for treatment response and prognosis...

The interaction between Mycobacterium tuberculosis , the agent of tuberculosis (TB), and its host cell, the macrophage, is multifaceted, dynamic, and involves multiple molecular partners. A better understanding of this interaction could help researchers manipulate the immune system in order to design host-targeted immunotherapies and/or develop a novel vaccine protecting better adults against TB. Jani and coworkers studied the role of the macrophage receptor TLR2 in the response to M. tuberculosis using single-cell technologies (C...

Disease management in challenging patient population with cancer and concomitant serious conditions presents an unmet clinical need. The major gap is the lack of data from properly designed trials that could support clinical decisions. Despite many advances in the fields of oncology, immunology, and infectious diseases, chronic viral infections in cancer patients remain to some extent terra incognita. Therefore, many patients lose the opportunity to receive the most advanced therapy, and physicians are compelled to make treatment decisions without sufficient evidence...
