Oral squamous cell papilloma is a benign proliferation of the stratified squamous epithelium, associated with the human papillomavirus (HPV). The clinical manifestation includes papillary or verrucous exophytic mass. Complete excision of the lesion, including normal margins, followed by histopathological examination is the treatment of choice.

V-domain immunoglobulin suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA), an inhibitory immune checkpoint present on both immune and tumor cells, has emerged as a highly promising target for cancer therapy due to its potential to overcome resistance encountered with existing immune checkpoint treatments. VSIG-3 is determined as an inhibitory ligand for VISTA, leading to the suppression of T cell proliferation. However, hotspots between VISTA/VSIG-3 protein-protein interaction remain ambiguous, mainly attributed to the lack of the structure of the VISTA/VSIG-3 complex.

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) has disparate impacts on immune responses by divergent receptors on cells including DCs. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the impact of AVP on the maturation and expression of the inhibitory immune checkpoint molecules in tolerogenic monocyte-derived DCs. CD14 marker was used to separate monocytes from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by MACS method.

Numerous human cancers have exhibited the ability to elude immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapies. This type of resistance can be mediated by immune-suppressive macrophages that limit antitumor immunity in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we elucidate a strategy to shift macrophages into a proinflammatory state that down-regulates V domain immunoglobulin suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) via inhibiting AhR and IRAK1.
