The major human antigen-presenting cells (APCs) include monocytes/macrophages, myeloid dendritic cells (mDC), plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC), and B cells. These APC subsets have been observed in ovarian tumor environments. Their phenotypes and functionalities are subjected to alteration by multiple factors in the tumor environment. In this review, we summarize the nature, cellular interactions, and prognostic significance of the main APC populations in ovarian cancer, and discuss the relevance of manipulating APC subsets for patient treatment.

Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) are a heterogenous group of immune cells composed by dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages (Mϕ), which are critical for orchestrating immunity against cancer or infections. Several strategies have been explored to generate APC subsets, including enrichment from peripheral blood and differentiation from pluripotent or multipotent cells. During development, the generation of APC subsets is instructed by transcription factors (TFs).

T helper (Th) 17 and regulatory T (Treg) cells are highly plastic CD4 Th cell subsets, being able not only to actively adapt to their microenvironment, but also to interconvert, acquiring mixed identity markers. These phenotypic changes are underpinned by transcriptional control mechanisms, chromatin reorganization events and epigenetic modifications, that can be hereditable and stable over time. The Ikaros family of transcription factors have a predominant role in T cell subset specification through mechanisms of transcriptional program regulation that enable phenotypical diversification.

First-line immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) combinations show responses in subsets of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Nearly half of HCCs are Wnt-active with mutations in (encoding for β-catenin), , or , and demonstrate limited benefit to ICI due to an immune excluded tumor microenvironment. We show significant tumor responses in multiple β-catenin-mutated immunocompetent HCC models to a novel siRNA encapsulated in lipid nanoparticle targeting (LNP-CTNNB1).

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze trends in road crash severity among drivers in Spain from 1993 to 2020, focusing on factors like age, period, and birth cohort impacting risks of death and hospitalization.
- The analysis involved a large dataset of over 2.4 million drivers using multivariable models, finding notable trends such as a J-shaped relationship between age and severity and significant variations in risk among different birth cohorts.
- Results indicated a decline in road crash severity initially, with stabilization post-2013, while also revealing that being female was associated with lower severity risk, particularly in terms of death.
