T cell characteristics associated with toxicity to immune checkpoint blockade in patients with melanoma

Alexander X. Lozano et al.

Summary: This study provides new insights into the immunological state prior to the development of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in patients with melanoma treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). The abundance of activated CD4 memory T cells and T cell receptor diversity in the blood samples were found to be associated with severe irAEs, regardless of the affected organ system. The study also investigated the changes in T cell receptor clonality during combination therapy and linked them to the severity and timing of irAE onset. These findings have implications for improved diagnostics and clinical management of irAEs.

Expression profile of immune checkpoint genes and their roles in predicting immunotherapy response

Fei-Fei Hu et al.

Summary: The study identified expression patterns of ICGs and their correlations with patient response to immune checkpoint blockade therapy, providing insights into the mechanisms of ICGs in anticancer treatments. A model using ICG expression features showed robust performance in predicting patient responses and outperformed other mRNA-based predictors.

Tumor-infiltrating mast cells are associated with resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy

Rajasekharan Somasundaram et al.

Summary: The study established a humanized mouse melanoma model and found high expression of chemokines in specific tumor regions, which is associated with resistance to PD-1 therapy. Further investigations showed reduced HLA-class I expression and CD8/Granz B+ T cell homeostasis in tumor areas where FOXP3 regulatory T cells and mast cells co-localize.

Meta-analysis of tumor- and T cell-intrinsic mechanisms of sensitization to checkpoint inhibition

Kevin Litchfield et al.

Summary: Checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) enhance adaptive immunity, with clonal tumor mutation burden (TMB) identified as the strongest predictor of CPI response. Dinucleotide variants may serve as a source of immunogenic epitopes, while copy-number alterations and HLA evolutionary divergence lack pan-cancer significance.

A single-cell map of intratumoral changes during anti-PD1 treatment of patients with breast cancer

Ayse Bassez et al.

Summary: The study found that in breast cancer patients, anti-PD1 treatment can lead to clonal expansion of PD1-expressing T cells in a subset of tumors, regardless of tumor subtype. The expansion mainly involves CD8(+) T cells and CD4(+) T cells with distinct immune cell characteristics.

MET Amplification Attenuates Lung Tumor Response to Immunotherapy by Inhibiting STING

Yong Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that tumors with MET amplification are resistant to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy, likely due to reduced levels of STING and antitumor T-cell infiltration. It also revealed that the oncogenic MET signaling pathway downregulates tumor cell STING expression through phosphorylation of UPF1 and modulation of the 3'-UTR length of STING. The efficiency of ICB in MET amplification can be improved by inhibiting MET, suggesting a potential combination therapy for patients with this condition.

The N6-Methyladenosine-Modified Pseudogene HSPA7 Correlates With the Tumor Microenvironment and Predicts the Response to Immune Checkpoint Therapy in Glioblastoma

Rongrong Zhao et al.

Summary: By studying the lncRNA m(6)A modification patterns in GBM tissues, we identified HSPA7 as a novel prognostic risk factor in GBM patients, playing important roles in immunophenotype and tumor microenvironment. We also confirmed the impact of HSPA7 on macrophage infiltration and the efficacy of ICB therapy.

Investigating Mechanisms of Response or Resistance to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors by Analyzing Cell-Cell Communications in Tumors Before and After Programmed Cell Death-1 (PD-1) Targeted Therapy: An Integrative Analysis Using Single-cell RNA and Bulk-RNA Sequencing Data

Yi-Quan Jiang et al.

Summary: This study analyzed single-cell RNA sequencing and bulk RNA sequencing data to investigate the differences in cell-cell interactions and changes in response to anti-PD-1 therapy between responders and nonresponders. Additionally, the evolutionary trajectory of ligands/receptors in specific cell types was examined. Results provide insights into the mechanisms underlying response to anti-PD-1 therapy and offer potential strategies for improving immunotherapy.

TISCH: a comprehensive web resource enabling interactive single-cell transcriptome visualization of tumor microenvironment

Dongqing Sun et al.

Summary: Cancer immunotherapy targeting co-inhibitory pathways by checkpoint blockade has shown significant efficacy, but only a minority of patients respond due to tumor microenvironment heterogeneity. TISCH is a large curated database that integrates single-cell transcriptomic profiles from 76 high-quality tumor datasets across 27 cancer types, providing a user-friendly interface for exploring gene expression atlas in the TME from multiple cancer types.
