Siglec receptors as new immune checkpoints in cancer

Michal A. Stanczak et al.

Summary: Cancer immunotherapy has shown promising results in improving the treatment and prognosis of patients, but resistance to current therapies remains a challenge. This review explores the potential of Siglec receptors as new immune checkpoints and targets for cancer immunotherapy. The authors summarize experimental evidence, discuss mechanisms of action, and highlight ongoing efforts to target Siglec receptors and their interactions with sialic acid Siglec-ligands.

Non-canonical roles of Siglecs: Beyond sialic acid-binding and immune cell modulation

Shoib Sarwar Siddiqui

Summary: Siglecs are a type of I-type lectins that bind with sialic acid ligands. They have a role in immune regulation and can either inhibit or activate immune cells depending on their structure and interactions with proteins. This review focuses on the non-canonical functions and interactions of Siglec receptors, as well as their expression and function on non-immune cells. It provides valuable insights for researchers interested in Siglecs and sialic acid biology.

Quantitative assessment of Siglec-15 expression in lung, breast, head, and neck squamous cell carcinoma and bladder cancer

Saba Shafi et al.

Summary: The study assesses the expression of immune system modulator Siglec-15 in different types of cancer and finds increased expression in both tumor and immune cells. The results suggest Siglec-15 as a potential target for immunotherapy and provide insights for future clinical trials and companion diagnostic tests.

Tumor-associated macrophages of the M1/M2 phenotype are involved in the regulation of malignant biological behavior of breast cancer cells through the EMT pathway

Zhuo Chen et al.

Summary: The study reveals that M2-tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) are more abundant in TNBC and associated with poor prognosis. M2-TAMs promote invasion, migration, and proliferation of breast cancer cells, possibly through the mechanism of epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Triple-negative breast cancer influences a mixed M1/M2 macrophage phenotype associated with tumor aggressiveness

Kristine Cate S. Pe et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the interaction between breast cancer cells and macrophages in the context of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The results showed that TNBC-induced tumor-associated macrophages expressed both M1 and M2-associated genes, and secreted multiple cytokines, further enhancing tumor cell growth and aggressiveness.

ERα-independent NRF2-mediated immunoregulatory activity of tamoxifen

Giovanna Pepe et al.

Summary: The research found that tamoxifen and its active metabolite have estrogen antagonist effects and regulate immune activation genes, while also enhancing cell phagocytosis and modifying the expression of inflammatory cytokines. These effects may be mediated through different mechanisms within the cells.

Siglec Signaling in the Tumor Microenvironment

Eline J. H. van Houtum et al.

Summary: Siglecs are a family of receptors that recognize sialic acid-containing glycans, expressed on most immune cells and have an important role in the tumor microenvironment. Their signaling pathway in the TME is enhanced through multiple mechanisms favoring tumor immune evasion.

Re-Expression of Poly/Oligo-Sialylated Adhesion Molecules on the Surface of Tumor Cells Disrupts Their Interaction with Immune-Effector Cells and Contributes to Pathophysiological Immune Escape

Mostafa Jarahian et al.

Summary: The immune system often fails to eliminate cancer cells due to the presence of sialic acids on the surface of tumor cells, which hinder the interaction with immune effector cells. Strategies to reduce sialic acid presence on tumor cells are discussed as potential therapeutic interventions for cancer and immune diseases.

Immune Checkpoint Inhibition for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: Current Landscape and Future Perspectives

Huimei Yi et al.

Summary: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacks estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), leading to poorer prognosis. Immunotherapy using checkpoint blockade has shown promising results in TNBC, with a higher level of lymphocyte infiltration suggesting potential responsiveness. Inhibiting immune checkpoint molecules PD1, PDL1, and CTLA4 represents a major advancement, offering the opportunity of durable response and potential long-term benefit in TNBC patients.

Macrophage Polarization States in the Tumor Microenvironment

Ava J. Boutilier et al.

Summary: The M1/M2 macrophage paradigm is crucial in tumor progression, where M1 macrophages have anti-tumor effects and M2 macrophages contribute to tumor development through various mechanisms. The tumor microenvironment plays a role in influencing macrophage polarization and activation, which is essential for understanding the pro-tumor effects of tumor-associated macrophages.

Itziar Ibarlucea-Benitez et al.

Summary: Targeting myeloid receptors Siglec-7 and Siglec-9 shows therapeutic potential in enhancing antitumor immunity, although their effectiveness is influenced by the tumor microenvironment. Development of Fc engineered blocking antibodies against Siglec-7 and Siglec-9 significantly reduces tumor burden, demonstrating their potential as immunotherapy targets.

Tamoxifen and oxidative stress: an overlooked connection

Nermin S. Ahmed et al.

Summary: Tamoxifen is the gold standard drug for treating breast cancer, initially believed to work through estrogen receptor mechanism but later proven to act through multiple non-estrogen receptor mechanisms. Additionally, the connection between tamoxifen's apoptotic effects and oxidative stress is often overlooked.
