Challenges of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy in chronic lymphocytic leukemia: lessons learned

Ismail Can et al.

Summary: The development of CAR T cell therapy has shown unprecedented success in treating B-cell leukemia and lymphoma, but faces challenges in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Factors such as dysfunctional T cells and various stresses during treatment contribute to the risk of CAR T cell therapy failure.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: Chemotherapy Free and Other Novel Therapies Including CAR T

Julia Wiedmeier-Nutor et al.

Summary: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in adults and the treatment paradigm has shifted towards targeted therapy. Novel agents such as ibrutinib, venetoclax, and idelalisib have improved clinical outcomes. First-line therapy is preferred for patients with TP53 abnormalities who meet treatment criteria.

Functional Diversities of Regulatory T Cells in the Context of Cancer Immunotherapy

Ran Gao et al.

Summary: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are CD4(+) T cells that can suppress abnormal or excessive immune responses. Targeting Tregs selectively may alleviate their immunosuppressive activities and has shown promising results in preclinical and early-phase clinical trials. Combination therapy has been identified as a better choice than single immunotherapy, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy.

Combining ibrutinib and checkpoint blockade improves CD8+ T-cell function and control of chronic lymphocytic leukemia in Eμ-TCL1 mice

Bola S. Hanna et al.

Summary: Ibrutinib, as a BTK inhibitor, not only affects CLL cells by blocking B-cell receptor signaling, but also impacts the microenvironment and CD8(+) T cells. Direct effects on TCR activity and the potential for co-stimulation via CD28 to overcome these effects have been demonstrated in studies. Additionally, combination therapy with PD-1/PD-L1 blockade shows promise in improving CD8(+) T-cell function in CLL.

Clinical relevance of extracellular vesicles in hematological neoplasms: from liquid biopsy to cell biopsy

Stefania Trino et al.

Summary: Liquid biopsy is becoming increasingly important in oncology within the era of precision medicine, allowing for the isolation and analysis of tumor-derived biomarkers such as extracellular vesicles (EVs) in body fluids. EVs, as lipid bilayer-enclosed particles, have emerged as valuable carriers of cancer information, offering potential as novel biomarkers due to their molecular cargo mirroring parental cell characteristics. The translation of these new diagnostic tools into clinical practice has the potential to deeply revolutionize the field of cancer research.

Leukemic extracellular vesicles induce chimeric antigen receptor T cell dysfunction in chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Michelle J. Cox et al.

Summary: In this study, EVs derived from CLL patients were found to induce dysfunction in CAR-T cells, especially PD-L1(+) CLL-derived EVs. This mechanism may contribute to the lower durable response rate of CLL patients to CART cell therapy.

T Cells in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: A Two-Edged Sword

Elisavet Vlachonikola et al.

Summary: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia remains incurable despite recent progress in management, highlighting the importance of further investigating the underlying pathophysiology. The interactions between malignant CLL cells and the tumor microenvironment play a crucial role in disease progression, with T cell abnormalities and potential therapeutic targets being a key focus in enhancing targeted cytotoxic activity against the malignant clone.

Mechanisms underlying low-clinical responses to PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies in immunotherapy of cancer: a key role of exosomal PD-L1

Zi Yin et al.

Summary: Exosomes, specifically those derived from cancer cells, contain immunosuppressive proteins such as PD-L1, which can hinder immune responses and promote tumor progression. Blocking the interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 can enhance the efficacy of cancer treatment by restoring anti-tumor immunity.

Galectin-9 interacts with PD-1 and TIM-3 to regulate T cell death and is a target for cancer immunotherapy

Riyao Yang et al.

Summary: The study reveals that PD-1 contributes to exhausted T cell survival by binding to TIM-3 ligand Gal-9 and inhibiting Gal-9/TIM-3 induced cell death. Anti-Gal-9 therapy selectively expands intratumoral TIM-3(+) cytotoxic CD8 T cells and T-reg cells, while combination treatment with anti-Gal-9 and GITR agonist shows synergistic antitumor activity.

Control of PD-L1 expression in CLL-cells by stromal triggering of the Notch-c-Myc-EZH2 oncogenic signaling axis

Martin Boettcher et al.

Summary: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells efficiently evade immunosurveillance through close interaction with stromal niches in the bone marrow and lymph nodes. Enhanced PD-L1 expression on CLL cells following stromal contact contributes to immune escape, controlled by a Notch-c-Myc-EZH2 signaling axis. Elevated PD-L1 levels confer resistance towards activated autologous T-cells, highlighting potential therapeutic targets for improving immune responses in CLL patients.

Moritz Bewarder et al.

Summary: Standard treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has shifted towards the use of novel agents such as BTK inhibitors, Bcl-2 inhibitors, and PI3K inhibitors, which have shown effectiveness in treating CLL. Despite these advancements, there is ongoing exploration for new therapeutic approaches and the challenge of determining the optimal combination and sequence of treatments.

Tumor-Derived Exosomes: Hidden Players in PD-1/PD-L1 Resistance

Valentin Vautrot et al.

Summary: Immunotherapy, particularly through the blockade of immune checkpoints such as PD-1/PD-L1, has become increasingly important in cancer treatment by reactivating the immune system to fight cancer cells. However, resistance to these treatments in a certain proportion of patients has led to efforts to combine PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy with targeting other immune checkpoints to improve outcomes. Exosomes, small vesicles secreted by various cells including tumor cells, play a key role in mediating immune resistance and establishing metastatic niches. Research on specific exosomal proteins like PD-L1, CTLA-4, TIM-3, CD73/39, LAG-3, and TIGIT aims to enhance understanding of tumor resistance mechanisms and guide therapeutic decisions in immunotherapy.
