Hematological malignancies (HM) are common malignant tumors with high morbidity and mortality rates, and are malignant diseases that seriously affect human health, with chemotherapy prone to recurrence and toxic side effects. Therefore, the development of precise, effective, and safe targeted therapeutic agents has become a hotspot in the current research of antitumor technology. More and more studies have shown that the interaction of C-C chemokine ligand 17 (CCL17) and C-C chemokine ligand 22 (CCL22) with the receptor C-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CCR4) promotes the immune escape of tumors and is closely related to the occurrence, development, and prognosis of hematological tumors.

γδ T cells and natural killer (NK) cells have attracted much attention as promising effector cell subsets for adoptive transfer for use in the treatment of malignant and infectious diseases, because they exhibit potent cytotoxic activity against a variety of malignant tumors, as well as virus-infected cells, in a major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-unrestricted manner. In addition, γδ T cells and NK cells express a high level of CD16, a receptor required for antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. Adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL) is caused by human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-1) and is characterized by the proliferation of malignant peripheral CD4 T cells.

Some carriers of human T-cell leukaemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1), a retrovirus that primarily infects CD4+ T cells and causes lifelong infection, develop HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Current treatments for HAM/TSP are insufficient with problematic long-term side effects. This study evaluated the long-term safety and efficacy of the anti-CCR4 antibody mogamulizumab in patients with HAM/TSP over a 4-year period.

Background: Immunotargets including checkpoint inhibitors and toll-like receptor 8 agonists have recently gained attention for the recovery of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific T cell exhaustion in chronic hepatitis B(CHB). Chemokine receptors have a similar significant role during viral infections; however, their role in CHB remains poorly understood. Therefore, in this study we evaluated the role of chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) in deriving immunosuppression during CHB.

T-cell lymphomas are rare and aggressive tumors, and not only basic research but also the establishment of standard therapies and development of novel drugs for these tumors once lagged behind those for B-cell lymphomas. Now, times have changed. Recent progress in genome-wide analysis made it possible to elucidate the molecular pathophysiology of T-cell lymphomas, and will further facilitate the development of individualized treatment.
