The multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib induces resistance of HER2 positive breast cancer cells to trastuzumab-mediated ADCC

Eliza Guti et al.

Summary: Despite advances in personalized therapies, breast cancer remains resistant to various advanced treatments. A study found that the multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib can inhibit antibody-mediated cell cytotoxicity, suppress NK cell activation, downregulate HER2 expression on target cells, and trigger the autophagy pathway, exerting a cytoprotective effect.

Hinge disulfides in human IgG2 CD40 antibodies modulate receptor signaling by regulation of conformation and flexibility

Christian M. Orr et al.

Summary: Hinge disulfide orientation in the IgG2 isotype affects its agonistic activity by modulating receptor signaling. Crystallographic structures reveal a disulfide crossover between F(ab) arms in agonistic forms, independent of epitope. The least flexible variants induce the highest levels of receptor agonism.

CD16xCD33 Bispecific Killer Cell Engager (BiKE) as potential immunotherapeutic in pediatric patients with AML and biphenotypic ALL

Sarah B. Reusing et al.

Summary: The text discusses the complexity and rarity of biphenotypic acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children, characterized by CD33 expression. Despite therapies targeting CD19, relapse and resistance remain challenges. Testing the BiKE on NK cells from healthy volunteers and leukemia patients showed enhanced effector functions against CD33(+) cells, suggesting potential as a therapeutic option.

Fc γ receptor compositional heterogeneity: Considerations for immunotherapy development

Adam W. Barb

Summary: Fc gamma receptors play a critical role in activating or suppressing cellular responses by binding with antibody-coated targets, yet research and development efforts in this area are currently limited. The success of engineered cell-based immunotherapies has provided a pathway for introducing modified Fc gamma receptors into clinical settings, showing potential for enhancing their function.
