Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are one of the key immunosuppressive components in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and contribute to tumor development, progression, and resistance to cancer immunotherapy. Several reagents targeting TAMs have been tested in preclinical and clinical studies, but they have had limited success. Here, we show that a unique reagent, FF-10101, exhibited a sustained inhibitory effect against colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor by forming a covalent bond and reduced immunosuppressive TAMs in the TME, which led to strong antitumor immunity.

Background: Previous studies have reported that the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) was associated with the prognosis of lung cancer patients and the efficacy of immunotherapy. However, given the significant challenges in obtaining specimens of brain metastases (BrMs), few studies explored the correlation between the TIME and the prognosis in patients with BrMs from lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).

Methods: Transcript profiling of archival formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded specimens of BrMs from 70 LUAD patients with surgically resected BrMs was carried out using RNA sequencing.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common harmful high-grade brain tumor with high mortality and low survival rate. Importantly, besides routine diagnostic and therapeutic methods, modern and useful practical techniques are urgently needed for this serious malignancy. Correspondingly, the translational medicine focusing on genetic and epigenetic profiles of glioblastoma, as well as the immune framework and brain microenvironment, based on these challenging findings, indicates that key clinical interventions include immunotherapy, such as immunoassay, oncolytic viral therapy, and chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cell therapy, which are of great importance in both diagnosis and therapy.

Background Studies have shown that aberrant reactions of the immune system play an important role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. The immune checkpoint molecules programmed cell death protein 1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) system and the T-regulatory cells (Tregs) system are decisive in the regulation of immune responses and can be the target molecules in preeclampsia. In this study, an attempt has been made to evaluate the soluble PD-L1 (sPD-L1) in the serum of preeclampsia cases and correlate it with Tregs and inflammatory markers to have an insight into the link between these immunomodulatory molecules in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.

Inhibition of α4β1 Integrin Activity by Small Tellurium Compounds Regulates PD-L1 Expression and Enhances Antitumor Effects.

Various cancer treatment approaches that inhibit the activity of the programmed death-1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) axis, a key player in tumor immune evasion, have been developed. We show that the immunomodulatory small tellurium complexes AS101 (ammonium trichloro(dioxoethylene-o,o')tellurate) and SAS (octa-O-bis(R,R)-tartarate ditellurane) suppress PD-L1 expression in a variety of human and mouse malignant cells via the modulation of α4β1 very late antigen- (VLA-4) integrin activity. Consequently, the expression of pAkt and its downstream effector pNFκB are inhibited.
