Fcgamma receptor IIIa (FcγRIIIa) polymorphisms is considered to influence clinical response to therapeutic monoclonal antibody (McAb) in cancer, most people believe it can affect McAb binding, and McAb-dependent NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity. This study was purposed to determine the difference of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) effects mediated by different FcγRIIIa NK cells. The FcγRIIIa genotypes were detected by nest-PCR, the target cells (Raji cells) were stained with 5- (and 6-) carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE), cultured with effector cells with different FcγRIIIa genotypes, and finally stained with propidium iodide (PI); the CD20 expression of Raji cells were tested by flow cytometry and cytotoxic index was calculated as well. The results indicated that the ADCC cytotoxic indexes of NK cells with FcγRIIIa-158V/V and FcγRIIIa-158V/F were 69.05±2.38% and 39.63±3.86% respectively, as compared with NK cells with FcγRIIIa158 V/V, ADCC effect of NK cells with FcγRIIIa-158 on Raji cells was obviously weakened with significant difference (p<0.05). It is concluded that FcγRIIIa polymorphism can influence ADCC activity of NK cells, ADCC activity of NK cells with FcγRIIIa-158V/V is higher than that of NK cells with FcγRIIIa-158V/F.

Background/objectives: MDG1011 is an autologous TCR-T therapy developed as a treatment option for patients with myeloid malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and multiple myeloma (MM). It is specific for the target antigen PReferentially expressed Antigen in MElanoma (PRAME). The recombinant TCR used in MDG1011 recognizes PRAME VLD-peptide presented by HLA-A*02:01-encoded surface molecules.

Background: In the past decade, immunotherapy has become a major choice for the treatment of lung cancer, yet its therapeutic efficacy is still relatively limited due to the various immune escape mechanisms of tumors. Based on this, we introduce Neo-BCV, a novel bacterial composite vaccine designed to enhance immune responses against lung cancer.
Methods: We investigated the immune enhancing effect of Neo-BCV through in vivo and in vitro experiments, including flow cytometry, RNA-seq, and Western blot.

Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) is a vascular tumor originating from endothelial cells and is associated with human herpesvirus 8 (KSHV) infection. It disproportionately affects populations facing health disparities. Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) has improved KS control in people with HIV (PWH), treatment options for advanced KS remain limited.

We demonstrate that natural killer (NK) cells induce a higher cytotoxicity against lung cancer stem-like cells (hA549) compared to differentiated lung cancer cell lines (H292). The supernatants from split-anergized NK cells (IL-2 and anti-CD16 mAb-treated NK cells) induced differentiation in hA549. Differentiated lung cancer cell line (H292) and NK cells differentiated hA549 expressed reduced NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity but expressed higher sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs.

CD8T cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME) are often functionally impaired, which limits their ability to mount effective anti-tumor responses. However, the molecular mechanisms behind this dysfunction remain incompletely understood. Here, we identified valosin-containing protein (VCP) as a key regulator of CD8T cells suppression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
