This study investigated the structure of polysaccharide (POP-1) and its effect on immunocompromised mice induced by cyclophosphamide (CY). Novel POP-1 was α- and β-glucopyranose, its molecular weight was 4.78 × 104 Da, it was mainly composed of glucose (88.9%), and it also contained galactose (2.97%), mannose (5.02%), fucose (0.3%), arabinose (0.21%), ribose (0.04%), galactose acid (0.17%), and glucose acid (1.45%). After POP-1 was administered to immunosuppressed mice, results showed that POP-1 increased the body weight, spleen, and thymus index and enhanced T lymphocyte proliferation in mice. POP-1 up-regulated the expression of CD3, CD4, and CD8 lymphocytes and the ratio of CD4/CD8 in the mouse spleen to increase immunoglobulin (IgM, IgG, and IgA) and secrete cytokines (IL-2, IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ) through activation of the JAK/STAT1 signaling pathway. Moreover, POP-1 remarkably reversed the gut-microbiota dysbiosis in immunosuppressed mice by increasing the abundance of , , , and and altered the fecal metabolites by increasing hexahomomethionine, DG(8:0/20:4(5Z, 8Z, 11Z, 14Z)-OH(20)/0:0, 2-((3-aminopyridin-2-yl)methylene)hydrazinecarbothioamide, Ginkgoic acid, and carboxy-ethyl-hydroxychroman, which is closely related to the immunity function. This study indicates that polysaccharide effectively restores immunosuppressive activity and can be a functional ingredient in food and pharmaceutical products.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), as a minimally invasive surgery strategy based on local thermal-killing effect, is widely used in the clinical treatment of multiple solid tumors. Nevertheless, RFA cannot achieve the complete elimination of tumor lesions with larger burden or proximity to blood vessels. Incomplete RFA (iRFA) has even been validated to promote residual tumor growth due to the suppressive tumor immune microenvironment (TIME).

Background: Melanoma cells frequently dedifferentiate in response to inflammation which can increase responses to certain cytokines. Interferon-γ (IFNγ) is an integral part of the anti-tumor immune response and can directly induce both differentiational changes and expression of immunosuppressive proteins in melanoma cells. How the differentiation status of melanoma cells affects IFNγ responses remains unclear.

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) is highly effective for the treatment of melanoma, but intrinsic resistance is present in a subgroup of patients. TGF-β pathway activity may play a role in this resistance by preventing T-cells from entering the tumor microenvironment, causing immune escape. We investigated the association of TGF-β signal transduction pathway activity with resistance to ICI treatment in advanced melanoma.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of combined therapy with probiotics and cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells against colorectal cancer (CRC) growth and metastasis in mice versus using either treatment alone.
- - Results showed that both probiotics and CIK cells significantly reduced CRC cell viability and increased apoptosis, with the combination of both therapies being the most effective at suppressing tumor growth and metastasis.
- - Mice treated with combined probiotics and CIK therapy exhibited the least amount of tumor presence and related biomarkers in the liver compared to the other treatment groups, indicating a stronger anti-cancer effect.
Retinoblastoma-binding Protein 9 Suppresses Intestinal Inflammation and Inflammation-induced Tumorigenesis in Mice.

Background & Aims: Retinoblastoma-binding protein 9 (RBBP9) was initially reported as cell cycle regulator via RB/E2F. Accumulating evidence has revealed the importance of RBBP9 in physiological and pathological states including inflammatory disease. However, the functional role of RBBP9 in ulcerative colitis (UC) and colitis-associated cancer (CAC) remains elusive.
