Comparison of C-Acetate and F-FDG PET/CT for Immune Infiltration and Prognosis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Cancer Sci

January 2025

Hepatobiliary Surgery Center, Department of General Surgery, Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment, making it a challenge to noninvasively monitor immune infiltration. Metabolic reprogramming in cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is closely linked to immune status. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the ability of carbon-11 acetate (C-acetate) and fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) PET/CT findings in predicting overall survival (OS) and immune infiltration in HCC patients.

Background/objectives: Most studies on the interaction between the immune system and cancer focus on T-cells, whereas studies on tumor-infiltrating B-lymphocytes (TIL-Bs) are still underrepresented. The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic impact of TIL-Bs in early- and advanced-stage oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC).

Methods: In total, 222 OCSCCs were studied.

The Role of YY1 in the Regulation of LAG-3 Expression in CD8 T Cells and Immune Evasion in Cancer: Therapeutic Implications.

Cancers (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Microbiology, Immunology & Molecular Genetics, David Geffen School of Medicine, Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA.

The treatment of cancers with immunotherapies has yielded significant milestones in recent years. Amongst these immunotherapeutic strategies, the FDA has approved several checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs), primarily Anti-Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) and Programmed Death Ligand-1/2 (PDL-1/2) monoclonal antibodies, in the treatment of various cancers unresponsive to immune therapeutics. Such treatments resulted in significant clinical responses and the prolongation of survival in a subset of patients.

Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States, with rising incidence and mortality. The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and its ligands significantly contribute to pancreatic cancer progression by enhancing cell proliferation, fostering treatment resistance, and promoting a pro-tumor microenvironment via activation of the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathways. This study validated pathway activation in human pancreatic cancer and evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of TTP488 (Azeliragon), a small-molecule RAGE inhibitor, alone and in combination with radiation therapy (RT) in preclinical models of pancreatic cancer.

CD8+ and CD8- NK Cells and Immune Checkpoint Networks in Peripheral Blood During Healthy Pregnancy.

Int J Mol Sci

January 2025

Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, Medical School, University of Pecs, 12 Szigeti Street, 7624 Pecs, Hungary.

Pregnancy involves significant immunological changes to support fetal development while protecting the mother from infections. A growing body of evidence supports the importance of immune checkpoint pathways, especially at the maternal-fetal interface, although limited information is available about the peripheral expression of these molecules by CD8+ and CD8- NK cell subsets during the trimesters of pregnancy. Understanding the dynamics of these immune cells and their checkpoint pathways is crucial for elucidating their roles in pregnancy maintenance and potential complications.
