Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of CD34+ selected ex vivo T-cell depletion (TCD) vs post-transplant cyclophosphamide, sirolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil (PTCy-Sir-MMF) as graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis.
Methods: We retrospectively included patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with either TCD (n = 38) or PTCy-Sir-MMF (n = 91).
Results: Cumulative incidence of neutrophil and platelet recovery was 92% vs 99% (P = .06) and 89% vs 97% (P = .3) in TCD and PTCy-Sir-MMF, respectively. Cumulative incidences of aGHVD grade II-IV, III-IV, and moderate to severe cGVHD were 11% vs 19% (P = .2), 3% vs 2% (P = .9), and 3% vs 36% (P < .001) in TCD and PTCy-Sir-MMF, respectively. The 2-year non-relapse mortality, relapse, disease-free and overall survival were 25% vs 8% (P = .01), 20% vs 16% (P = .2), 55% vs 76% (P = .004), 57% vs 83% (P = .004) for TCD and PTCy-Sir-MMF, respectively. Cumulative incidence of cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr infection requiring therapy was 76% vs 40% (P < .001) and 32% vs 0% (P < .001) in TCD and PTCy-Sir-MMF, respectively. PTCy-Sir-MMF platform showed faster T-cell reconstitution.
Conclusions: PTCy-Sir-MMF provides better survival outcomes but is associated with higher risk of cGVHD compared to TCD.

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) represents a persistent inflammatory condition affecting the upper respiratory tract, characterized by abnormal initiation of the immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated cascade. Follicular helper T (Tfh) cells and regulatory T (Tfr) cells are pivotal in orchestrating the development of IgE production in AR patients. IL-35, an anti-inflammatory cytokine, secreted by various cellular subpopulations.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare but aggressive and potentially lethal hyperinflammatory syndrome characterized by pathologic immune activation and excessive production of proinflammatory cytokines leading to tissue damage and multisystem organ failure. There is an urgent need for the discovery of novel targets and development of therapeutic strategies to treat this rare but deadly syndrome. Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) mediates T cell-based inflammatory responses, making it a potential actionable target for the treatment of HLH.

Background: PRDX2 is significantly expressed in various cancers and is associated with the proliferation of tumor cells. Nonetheless, the precise mechanism of PRDX2 in tumor immunity remains incompletely understood. This study aims to investigate the impact of PRDX2, which is highly expressed in lung adenocarcinoma, on T cells in the tumor immune microenvironment, and its immune action target to promote the immune escape of lung cancer cells, to provide a theoretical basis for lung adenocarcinoma treatment with PRDX2 as the target.

The clinical potential of current chimeric antigen receptor-engineered T (CAR-T) cell therapy is hampered by its autologous nature that poses considerable challenges in manufacturing, costs and patient selection. This spurs demand for off-the-shelf therapies. Here we introduce an ex vivo feeder-free culture method to differentiate gene-engineered hematopoietic stem and progenitor (HSP) cells into allogeneic invariant natural killer T (NKT) cells and their CAR-armed derivatives (CAR-NKT cells).

In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) cultures of tumor cells has emerged as an important tool in cancer research. The significance of 3D cultures, such as tumor spheroids, lies in their ability to mimic the in vivo tumor microenvironment more precisely, offering a nuanced understanding of immune responses within the context of tumor progression. In fact, the infiltration of cytotoxic lymphocytes is key to determining patients' prognosis in several types of cancer and response to immunotherapy.
