Seminal fluid provides for the carriage and nutrition of sperm, but also modulates immunity to prevent allo-rejection of sperm by the female. Immune suppression by seminal fluid has been associated with extracellular vesicles, originally termed prostasomes, which contain CD52, a glycosylated glycophosphoinositol-anchored peptide released from testicular epithelial cells. Previously, we reported that human T cell-derived CD52, bound to the danger-associated molecular pattern protein, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), suppresses T cell function via the inhibitory sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin-10 (Siglec-10) receptor.

Background/objectives: Tumor microenvironmental hypoxia is an established hallmark of solid tumors. It significantly contributes to tumor aggressiveness and therapy resistance and has been reported to affect the balance of activating/inhibitory surface receptors' expression and activity on NK cells. In the current study, we investigated the impact of hypoxia on the surface expression of Siglec-7 and Siglec-9 (Sig-7/9) and their ligands in NK cells and tumor target cells.

Siglec-7, an inhibitory receptor expressed on natural killer (NK) cells, recognizes sialic acid-containing glycans. However, the ligand glycan structures of Siglec-7 and its carrier proteins have not been comprehensively investigated. Here, we identified four sialyltransferases that are used for the synthesis of ligand glycans of Siglec-7 and two ligand O-glycan-carrier proteins, PODXL and MUC13, using a colon cancer line.

Objectives: PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint blockade can be an effective treatment for advanced breast cancer patients. However, patients with oestrogen receptor positive (ER+) tumors often display only low lymphocyte infiltration, while a large part of triple negative (TN) breast tumors does not generate an effective immunotherapy response. Therefore, new treatment strategies have to be developed.

The tumor microenvironment of glioblastoma IDH-wildtype is highly immune suppressive and is characterized by a strong component of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). To interfere with the immune suppressive functions of MDSCs, a comprehensive understanding on how MDSCs acquire their suppressive phenotype is essential. Previously, we and others have shown a distinct Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin (Siglec) receptor expression profile for MDSCs in glioblastoma.
