Objective: The co-stimulatory molecule B7-H3 plays an important role in prognosis of several malignancies. However, its prognostic value in clinic in patient with colorectal cancer (CRC) is still controversial. This meta-analysis evaluated the relationship between B7-H3 expression and the outcomes of CRC patients.

Methods: PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, CNKI and Wanfang database were searched for the studies on the relationship between the expression of B7-H3 and prognosis of CRC patients. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) analysis with 95% confidence interval (95% CIs) for lymph node metastasis, 24-month overall survival and 72-month overall survival were performed mainly using Review Manager 5.0.

Results: Six articles including 1,202 total CRC cases were included for the meta-analysis. Pooled analysis with fixed-effects model showed that B7-H3 expression had no relationship with lymphatic metastasis in CRC patients (Fixed-effects, OR= 1.18; 95 % CI:0.87-1.61, P=0.28). However, B7-H3 expression was associated with 24-month overall survival (Fixed-effects, OR=0.48, 95% CI:0.32-0.74, P<0.001) and 72-month overall survival (Fixed-effects, OR = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.43-0.85, P< 0.01) in CRC patients.

Conclusion: The co-stimulatory molecule B7-H3 expression is negatively associated with lymph node metastasis in CRC. However, B7-H3 detection might be a feasible and effective means to predict the prognosis in CRC patients.

Novel therapeutic strategies are needed to improve the efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells as a treatment of solid tumors. Multiple tumor microenvironmental factors are thought to contribute to resistance to CAR T-cell therapy in solid tumors, and appropriate model systems to identify and examine these factors using clinically relevant biospecimens are limited. In this study, we examined the activity of B7-H3-directed CAR T cells (B7-H3.

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a fatal central nervous system (CNS) tumor that confers a median survival of 11 months. As B7-H3 is expressed on pediatric CNS tumors, we conducted BrainChild-03, a single-center, dose-escalation phase 1 clinical trial of repetitive intracerebroventricular (ICV) dosing of B7-H3-targeting chimeric antigen receptor T cells (B7-H3 CAR T cells) for children with recurrent or refractory CNS tumors and DIPG. Here we report results from Arm C, restricted to patients with DIPG.

: B7 homolog 3 protein (B7-H3, also known as CD276) is a member of the B7 family that has been found to be associated with the growth and progression of a variety of tumors, but no pan-cancer evaluations of CD276 have been performed so far. In this study, we aimed to perform a pan-cancer analysis of the oncogenic role of CD276 in human tumors; : We used a series of databases to perform a pan-cancer analysis of CD276, including the expression level of CD276 in pan-cancer and its relationship to tumor progression, patient survival duration, the immune cell infiltration within the tumor, and the potential signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms associated with CD276; : We found that CD276 was a potential biomarker for the prognosis of most cancers. The high expression of CD276 was associated with tumor progression, leading to poor survival.

B7-H3 (CD276), a member of the B7-family of immune checkpoint proteins, has been shown to have immunological and non-immunological effects promoting tumorigenesis [1, 2] and expression correlates with poor prognosis for many solid tumors, including cervical, ovarian and breast cancers [3-6]. We recently identified a tumor-cell autochthonous tumorigenic role for dimerization of the 4Ig isoform of B7-H3 (4Ig-B7-H3) [7], where 4Ig-B7-H3 dimerization activated tumor-intrinsic cellular proliferation and tumorigenesis pathways, providing a novel opportunity for therapeutic intervention. Herein, a live cell split-luciferase complementation strategy was used to visualize 4Ig-B7-H3 homodimerization in a high-throughput small molecule screen (HTS) to identify modulators of this protein-protein interaction (PPI).

The effect of immunotherapy for colorectal cancer (CRC) is limited due to anti-tumor immunosuppression. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are also associated with tumor immunity. The aim of this study was to clarify the regulatory relationship between circRNA and anti-tumor immunosuppression in CRC.
