Reinforcement of cell-mediated immunity driven by tumor-associated Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-specific T cells during targeted B-cell therapy with rituximab

Sabine Tischer-Zimmermann et al.

Summary: In immunocompromised patients, EBV infection or reactivation is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The first-line treatment consists of reduction of immunosuppression and administration of rituximab. In addition, monitoring of T cells of high-risk patients is crucial for improving clinical outcome.

Epigenetic control of the Epstein-Barr lifecycle

Rui Guo et al.

Summary: This review highlights recent advances in understanding the epigenetic mechanisms that control EBV latency and lytic gene expression in transformed B and epithelial cells. The study focuses on the roles of DNA methylation, host histone chaperones, the Hippo pathway, m6A RNA modification, and nonsense mediated decay in regulating the EBV lifecycle.

Enhanced PD-L1 Expression in LMP1-positive Cells of Epstein-Barr Virus-associated Malignant Lymphomas and Lymphoproliferative Disorders A Single-cell Resolution Analysis With Multiplex Fluorescence Immunohistochemistry and In Situ Hybridization

Ayako Kume et al.

Summary: This study investigated the expression profiles of PD-L1 and EBV latent genes in EBV-associated malignant lymphomas and LPDs. Classic Hodgkin lymphoma showed the highest PD-L1 expression, followed by diffuse large B-cell lymphoma/Burkitt lymphoma, LPDs, and extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma. LMP1 upregulates PD-L1 expression and may serve as a potential biomarker for predicting the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors. The heterogeneous expression of PD-L1 and EBV latent genes may contribute to resistance to targeted therapies.

PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma immunotherapy

Qian Li et al.

Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a high prevalence and mortality rate worldwide. In recent years, immunotherapy using immune checkpoint inhibitors, particularly targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis, has brought fundamental changes to the treatment of advanced HCC. However, challenges remain and combination therapy may be a better option to improve the low remission rate.

Cytotoxic CD4+T-cells specific for EBV capsid antigen BORF1 are maintained in long-term latently infected healthy donors

Alexander Dowell et al.

Summary: Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) infects a large percentage of the population and establishes latent infection in B-cells. Efforts to develop EBV prophylactic vaccination have mainly focused on neutralising antibodies, but generating T-cell responses against EBV structural proteins could be a promising alternative strategy. Research has shown that EBV capsid proteins BcLF1, BDLF1, and BORF1 are frequent targets of T-cell responses, and CD4+ T-cells specific for these proteins can recognize and control newly EBV-infected cells, even in long-term viral carriage. This study highlights the potential of targeting structural antigens for prophylactic EBV vaccine development.
