Background: Solid tumors are characterized by a low blood supply, complex stromal architecture, and immunosuppressive milieu, which inhibit CAR-T cell entry and survival. CXCR5 has previously been employed to increase CAR-T cell infiltration into CXCL13+ cancers. On the other hand, IL-7 improves the survival and persistence of T cells inside a solid tumor milieu.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are innovative immunotherapeutic agents for cancer. However, their low therapeutic efficacy in patients with large or rapidly growing tumors, along with their high cost, represents a notable limitation in their clinical applications. Therefore, new and safe strategies must be developed to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of ICIs in clinical settings.

Article Synopsis
  • Esophageal cancer (EC) is a serious health issue, and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are potential targets for new therapies, particularly regarding how they interact with the tumor microenvironment.
  • The study identified and characterized MMP14 CAFs and their role in promoting cancer cell migration and reducing the effectiveness of CD8 T cells, which are crucial for tumor killing, especially in the context of PD-1 immunotherapy.
  • Exosomal tsRNA from MMP14 CAFs was found to inhibit CD8 T cell activity, specifically with tsRNA-10522, suggesting that these CAFs could serve as markers for predicting responses to PD-1 immunotherapy in esophageal cancer.

Objective: To investigate the effect of PD-1 monoclonal antibodies in tumor-associated macrophages on angiogenesis in cervical cancer and its mechanism of action.

Methods: The effect of PD-1 monoclonal antibodies on the progression of cervical cancer was assessed using the nude mouse xenograft model and HE staining; the impact of PD-1 monoclonal antibodies on cervical cancer cell migration was evaluated using wound healing assay and Transwell assay; the effect on vascular formation in cervical cancer cells was examined using an angiogenesis assay; the impact on the expression of related proteins was tested using Western blotting.

Results: PD-1 monoclonal antibodies in tumor-associated macrophages can regulate and thus inhibit the progression of cervical cancer while promoting the expression of SHP2.

Cancer immunotherapy is developing as the mainstream strategy for treatment of cancer. However, the interaction between the programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) and the programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) restricts T cell proliferation, resulting in the immune escape of tumor cells. Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy has achieved clinical success in tumor treatment through blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint pathway.
