The route of immunization was observed to play a significant role in deciding the outcome of immunization with killed mycobacterial vaccines. Earlier we reported that the slow growers were immunogenic by both the intraperitoneal (i.p.) and intradermal (i.d.) routes. In contrast, the rapid growers were immunogenic by the i.d. route only. Both rapid and slow growers generated the classical, antigen-specific Lyt-2 positive, T-cell-mediated suppression after i.p. immunization but not after i.d. immunization. Thus, in the case of the slow growers, T-cell-mediated suppression was only a component of the immune response generated after i.p. immunization. In contrast, in the case of Mycobacterium vaccae and the other rapid growers, the T-cell-mediated suppression was the predominant response with i.p. immunization. The T-cell-mediated suppression generated by i.p. immunization exhibited crossreactivity, the spectrum of which was dependent upon the dose of the immunization.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: In traditional Chinese medicine, the radices of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch, known as liquorice, have been used for relieving cough, alleviating pain and harmonizing the actions of all medicinals in a formula. Glycyrrhizic acid (GA), a natural compound derived from licorice, exhibits notable anti-inflammatory properties.
Aim: Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) generated by peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) has been implicated in the progression of colitis to colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC).

Lactate and its derivative, lactylation, play pivotal roles in modulating immune responses within the tumor microenvironment (TME), particularly in T-cell-mediated cancer immunotherapy. Elevated lactate levels, a hallmark of the Warburg effect, contribute to immune suppression through CD8 T cell functionality and by promoting regulatory T cell (Treg) activity. Lactylation, a post-translational modification (PTM), alters histone and non-histone proteins, influencing gene expression and further reinforcing immune suppression.

Approximately 22 % of human colorectal cancers (CRC) are characterized by IGF2 overexpression, and the tumor-promoting role of IGF2 has been widely reported. Despite promising preclinical results, IGF2 signaling inhibition therapy has exhibited limited efficacy in treating unselected patients with CRC. Recent evidence suggests that IGF2-high CRC are more sensitive to IGF2 signaling blockade therapy in immune-deficient mice, suggesting that IGF2-high CRC can benefit from IGF2 signaling blockade therapy.

Conventional chemotherapy- and radiotherapy-induced cancer senescence, which is characterized by poor proliferation, drug resistance, and senescence-associated secretory phenotype, has gained attention as contributing to cancer relapse and the development of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. However, the association between cancer senescence and anti-tumor immunity is not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that senescent cancer cells increase the level of PD-L1 by promoting its transcription and glycosylation.
