Recent studies have shown that Janus Kinase inhibitors can enhance the tumor therapeutic effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, it remains to be studied whether TYK2 selective inhibitors can enhance the therapeutic effect of small molecule PD-L1 inhibitors in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). We verified the efficacy of the combination of the selective TYK2 inhibitor Deucravacitinib and the small molecule inhibitor of PD-L1, INCB086550, in two TNBC animal models: a syngeneic mouse model (4T1 with humanized PD-L1) and a peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)-humanized model (MDA-MB-231).

Previous studies have indicated that hypoxia drives M2 polarization of macrophages and promotes cancer progression in various solid tumors. However, the more complex and diverse mechanisms underlying this process remain to be elucidated.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most commonly pivotal malignant caners. Numerous reports have revealed the crucial roles of immune infiltration in the initiation and progression of GBM. In this study, we first identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the progression of GBM using CGGA databases.

This study aims to focus on the role of long noncoding RNA UCA1 in AFL and further explored possible mechanism of this disease. We first downloaded GSE28619 to identify the expression of UCA1 in patients with AFL and use lncRNAs microarray to confirm UCA1 expression in serum of patients with AFL.
