Lactic acid promotes PD-1 expression in regulatory T cells in highly glycolytic tumor microenvironments

Shogo Kumagai et al.

Summary: In highly glycolytic tumors, regulatory T (Treg) cells have higher PD-1 expression compared to effector T cells. Under low-glucose conditions, Treg cells actively absorb lactic acid through monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1), promoting the expression of PD-1, while PD-1 expression by effector T cells is dampened. PD-1 blockade invigorates PD-1-expressing Treg cells, resulting in treatment failure.

Dendritic cells in cancer immunology

Theresa L. Murphy et al.

Summary: The clinical success of immune checkpoint therapy has led to a surge in tumor immunology research, with efforts aimed at enhancing ICT by identifying targets that synergize with existing therapies. Expanding principles through basic research may help broaden translational efforts. This review focuses on key aspects of dendritic cell biology, antigen processing, and helper cells that relate to ICT mechanisms and cell-mediated immunity.

Mixed Response to Cancer Immunotherapy is Driven by Intratumor Heterogeneity and Differential Interlesion Immune Infiltration

Takao Morinaga et al.

Summary: Some patients experience mixed response to immunotherapy, but the biological mechanisms and clinical significance remain unclear. Our study reveals that intertumoral heterogeneity alters characteristics of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) even in the same patient, leading to mixed response to immunotherapy and significant difference in the outcome.

IL-17 in the Pathogenesis of Disease: Good Intentions Gone Awry

Saikat Majumder et al.

Summary: The IL-17 family is an evolutionarily old cytokine family with six members, with IL-17A receiving the most attention for its proinflammatory roles in autoimmune diseases. IL-17 is associated with a wide array of diseases, with surprisingly variable pathologies. Recent advances in understanding the roles of IL-17 in health and disease pathogenesis focus on how its beneficial functions can be diverted towards amplification of deleterious pathways driving chronic diseases.

Tumour heterogeneity and intercellular networks of nasopharyngeal carcinoma at single cell resolution

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is characterized by a heterogeneous microenvironment, with single cell sequencing revealing different cell types including immune-suppressive T regulatory, tolerogenic dendritic, and exhausted CD8 T cells. Intensive inter-cell interactions are observed, potentially promoting the formation of an immune-suppressive niche in the TME.

Foxp3+ CD4+ regulatory T cells control dendritic cells in inducing antigen-specific immunity to emerging SARS-CoV-2 antigens

Ryuta Uraki et al.

Summary: This study showed that transient Treg-cell depletion without adjuvants in mice induced protective antigen-specific immunity to SARS-CoV-2, including the production of antibodies and cellular immune responses. The manipulation of Treg cells could activate antigen-presenting DCs, offering an innovative approach to vaccine design for SARS-CoV-2 and emerging variants.

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor suppresses immunity to oral squamous cell carcinoma through immune checkpoint regulation

Jessica E. Kenison et al.

Summary: The study shows the central role of AhR in regulating multiple immune checkpoints in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Deletion of AhR in mouse OSCC cells results in complete rejection of tumors and increased T cell activation. This suggests AhR as a potential target for modulating immune response in cancer treatment.

Integrated analysis of multimodal single-cell data

Yuhan Hao et al.

Summary: The study introduces a weighted-nearest neighbor analysis framework to learn the relative utility of each data type in each cell, enabling integrative analysis of multiple modalities. Applied to a CITE-seq dataset, the method constructs a multimodal reference atlas of the circulating immune system and successfully identifies and validates previously unreported lymphoid subpopulations.

Transcriptional and posttranslational regulation of Th17/Treg balance in health and disease

Weiqi Zhang et al.

Summary: Regulatory T (Treg) cells and T helper type 17 (Th17) cells play crucial roles in immune responses, antagonizing each other in immune disorders. Restoring Th17/Treg balance by modifying the enzymatic activities of ROR gamma t and FOXP3 binding partners may be therapeutically applied to treat severe immune disorders.

Treg-expressed CTLA-4 depletes CD80/CD86 by trogocytosis, releasing free PD-L1 on antigen-presenting cells

Murat Tekguc et al.

Summary: Regulatory T cells reduce the expression of CD80/CD86 on antigen-presenting cells through CTLA-4-dependent trogocytosis, inhibiting T cell immune responses. This mechanism can have dual suppressive effects, limiting CD80/CD86 costimulation to naive T cells and increasing free PD-L1 available for the inhibition of PD-1-expressing effector T cells.
