Enhancing immunotherapy in cancer by targeting emerging immunomodulatory pathways

Lukas Kraehenbuehl et al.

Summary: The discovery and clinical implementation of immune-checkpoint inhibitors like CTLA4, PD-1, and PD-L1 have significantly improved outcomes for patients with advanced-stage cancers. However, a majority of patients do not respond to these agents, emphasizing the need for further research into alternative immunomodulatory pathways and targeting tumor metabolism to enhance treatment efficacy.

Effects of Brief Adjunctive Metformin Therapy in Virologically Suppressed HIV-Infected Adults on Polyfunctional HIV-Specific CD8 T Cell Responses to PD-L1 Blockade

Glen M. Chew et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that an 8-week course of metformin can enhance the polyfunctionality of CD8 T cells, and baseline monocyte subset frequencies may predict the efficacy of PD-L1 blockade. These findings provide valuable insights for HIV remission trials utilizing immune checkpoint blockade strategies to boost anti-HIV CD8 T cell immunity.

Use of pembrolizumab with or without pomalidomide in HIV-associated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

Kathryn Lurain et al.

Summary: The most common malignancy among people living with HIV in the USA is Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). The study found that using pembrolizumab with or without pomalidomide to treat HIV-associated NHL elicited responses in several subtypes of HIV-associated NHL. This approach is worth further study in individuals living with HIV and NHL.

Correlation Between TIGIT Expression on CD8+ T Cells and Higher Cytotoxic Capacity

Jana Blazkova et al.

Summary: The study found that levels of TIGIT were positively correlated with CD8(+) T-lymphocyte activity in HIV-infected and healthy individuals, but not in HIV-viremic individuals. Furthermore, TIGIT(+)CD8(+) T cells maintained intrinsic cytotoxicity in HIV-infected individuals, suggesting they may not represent a state of immune exhaustion.

Disease Progression in Children With Perinatal Human Immunodeficiency Virus Correlates With Increased PD-1+ CD8 T Cells That Coexpress Multiple Immune Checkpoints

Janki Tailor et al.

Summary: Children with perinatal HIV have elevated levels of PD-1(+) CD8 T cells, which are associated with disease progression and coexpress other immune checkpoints. Initiation of antiretroviral therapy reduces total PD-1 levels and coexpression of multiple immune checkpoints. A subset of PD-1(+)2B4(+)CD160(+)TIM3(-) cells within PD-1(+) CD8 T cells predicts weaker HIV-specific proliferative responses, indicating functional exhaustion.

T cell immune discriminants of HIV reservoir size in a pediatric cohort of perinatally infected individuals

Stefano Rinaldi et al.

Summary: The study highlights the association between T cell phenotypic signatures and the size of the latent HIV reservoir, with frequencies of PD-1+ and TIGIT+ CD4 T cells positively correlating with HIV DNA levels, while frequencies of HIV-specific CD4 T cells negatively correlate. These findings provide important insights into the mechanism of viral persistence and potential therapeutic targets.

The HIV-1 accessory protein Nef increases surface expression of the checkpoint receptor Tim-3 in infected CD4(+) T cells

Rajesh Abraham Jacob et al.

Summary: The study reveals a novel mechanism by which HIV-1 directly increases the levels of a checkpoint receptor, Tim-3, on the surface of infected CD4(+) T cells through the Nef protein. Nef upregulates cell surface levels of Tim-3 dependent on its dileucine motif, and forms a complex with Tim-3 within cells. Additionally, Nef moderately promotes Tim-3 shedding from the cell surface in a dileucine motif-dependent manner.

Reversal of the CD8+ T-Cell Exhaustion Induced by Chronic HIV-1 Infection Through Combined Blockade of the Adenosine and PD-1 Pathways

Jing Li et al.

Summary: In patients with chronic HIV-1 infection, there is an increased frequency of PD-1(+), CD39(+), and PD-1(+)CD39(+) CD8(+) T cells. Among treatment naive patients, the frequency of PD-1(+)CD39(+) CD8(+) T cells is negatively correlated with CD4(+) T-cell counts and positively correlated with viral load. Combined blockade of CD39/adenosine and PD-1 signaling may have a synergistic effect in restoring CD8(+) T-cell function in HIV-1-infected patients.

PD-1 blockade and vaccination provide therapeutic benefit against SIV by inducing broad and functional CD8+ T cells in lymphoid tissue

Sheikh Abdul Rahman et al.

Summary: Therapeutic vaccination with a CD40L plus TLR7 adjuvant induced robust SIV-specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell responses under ART, while PD-1 blockade further enhanced CD8(+) T cell function and localization in B cell follicles, reducing viral reservoirs and improving survival. These findings suggest potential implications for the development of curative HIV strategies.
