Recombinant BCGs for tuberculosis and bladder cancer

Alok K. Singh et al.

Summary: The Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine, a live attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis, is widely used in global vaccination programs, but its efficacy against pulmonary TB in adults remains disputed. Modified BCG or alternative administration routes show promise in providing improved protection, while intravesical BCG is the primary therapy for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMBIC). There is a critical need for improved intravesical therapies for NMBIC, with genetically modified BCG candidates showing potential as anti-tumor adjuvant therapy.

Human SLC46A2 Is the Dominant cGAMP Importer in Extracellular cGAMP-Sensing Macrophages and Monocytes

Anthony F. Cordova et al.

Summary: Administration of exogenous CDNs to activate the cGAMP-STING pathway is a promising therapeutic strategy that mirrors the role of endogenous extracellular cGAMP in promoting immunity. SLC46A2 has been identified as the dominant cGAMP importer in human monocytes, with monocytes and M1-polarized macrophages shown to directly sense tumor-derived cGAMP in murine tumors. These findings provide the first cellular and molecular mechanisms of cGAMP as an immunotransmitter, paving the way for effective STING pathway therapeutics.

STING Agonists as Cancer Therapeutics

Afsaneh Amouzegar et al.

Summary: Immunotherapies have significantly impacted cancer treatment, yet some patients do not respond effectively. Recent efforts have been focused on identifying targets that could enhance anti-tumor immune responses, with STING pathway being one novel and promising target. Research on STING agonists has opened avenues for developing more effective strategies in cancer immunotherapy.

Advantages of targeting the tumor immune microenvironment over blocking immune checkpoint in cancer immunotherapy

Tianyu Tang et al.

Summary: The tumor immune microenvironment plays a critical role in cancer immunity, and regulators within it could be promising targets for cancer immunotherapy, alone or in combination with immune checkpoint-targeting drugs.
