Oncolytic virotherapy-mediated anti-tumor response: a single-cell perspective

Egle Ramelyte et al.

Summary: The study found that intralesional T-VEC treatment in primary cutaneous B cell lymphoma patients led to significant tumor response, rapid eradication of malignant cells, activation of the interferon pathway, and early influx of various immune cells, ultimately resulting in enhanced cellular immunity.

Mutations in the IFNγ-JAK-STAT Pathway Causing Resistance to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Melanoma Increase Sensitivity to Oncolytic Virus Treatment

Tan-Trieu Nguyen et al.

Summary: Mutations in the IFN gamma-JAK-STAT pathway have been identified as a resistance mechanism to immune checkpoint inhibitors in a subset of patients with melanoma. Research has shown that melanomas with these mutations may exhibit increased sensitivity to oncolytic virus therapy, providing a potential precision medicine strategy for both salvage therapy in ICI-resistant cases and first-line treatment in melanomas with IFN gamma signaling defects. This study also supports the use of JAK inhibitor-OV combination therapy for treatment-naive melanomas without IFN signaling defects.

Metabolic modulation of tumours with engineered bacteria for immunotherapy

Fernando P. Canale et al.

Summary: Engineered bacteria were developed to convert ammonia to l-arginine in tumors, increasing intratumoral l-arginine concentrations, T cell infiltration, and synergistic effects with PD-L1 blocking antibodies in tumor clearance. These results indicate that microbial therapies can enhance immunotherapy efficacy by modulating the tumor microenvironment.

Computation-guided optimization of split protein systems

Taylor B. Dolberg et al.

Summary: Splitting bioactive proteins into conditionally reconstituting fragments is powerful, but split proteins often exhibit high propensity to reconstitute, limiting their utility. This new technology, based on computational design strategy and experimental evaluation of mutants, can effectively address split protein design challenges.

T cell circuits that sense antigen density with an ultrasensitive threshold

Rogelio A. Hernandez-Lopez et al.

Summary: The study engineered a two-step positive-feedback circuit that enables human cytotoxic T cells to discriminate targets based on a sigmoidal antigen-density threshold. This circuit involves a low-affinity synthetic Notch receptor controlling the expression of a high-affinity CAR, leading to sharp discrimination between cancer cells and normal cells based on antigen density.

Model-guided design of mammalian genetic programs

J. J. Muldoon et al.

Summary: Researchers have developed a new method to systematically engineer mammalian cells to perform complex functions using high-performing genetic parts and predictive computational models. They built multifunctional proteins, validated models for transcriptional and posttranslational control mechanisms, successfully linked genetic circuits with sensors for multi-input evaluations. This approach empowers bioengineers to predictively design mammalian cellular functions even at high levels of biological complexity.

Can Biomarkers Guide Oncolytic Virus Immunotherapy?

Howard L. Kaufman

Summary: Defects in tumor cell IFN gamma signaling are linked to resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors and increased sensitivity to oncolytic virus infection. Differential expression of innate sensing elements in tumor cells may serve as predictive biomarkers for oncolytic virus immunotherapy in cancer patients.

SynNotch CAR circuits enhance solid tumor recognition and promote persistent antitumor activity in mouse models

Axel Hyrenius-Wittsten et al.

Summary: The synthetic Notch (synNotch) CAR circuits improve the specificity and persistent antitumor activity of therapeutic T cells in solid tumors by preventing CAR-mediated tonic signaling, allowing T cells to maintain long-lived memory and non-exhausted phenotype. ALPPL2 is established as a clinically viable cell therapy target for multiple solid tumors, and synNotch CAR T cells demonstrate multifaceted therapeutic benefits.

CAR-T cells: Early successes in blood cancer and challenges in solid tumors

Hassan Dana et al.

Summary: New approaches in cancer immunotherapy, such as checkpoint inhibitors for solid tumors and CAR-T cell therapy for hematologic malignancies, have shown promising results. While CAR-T products have demonstrated powerful effects against B cell cancers, challenges exist in using them for solid tumors.

Oncolytic Virotherapy for Cancer: Clinical Experience

Shyambabu Chaurasiya et al.

Summary: Oncolytic viruses are a new class of therapeutics that have shown promise in clinical trials, although their anti-tumor efficacy as monotherapy is modest. Most oncolytic viruses are well tolerated, even in immune-suppressed patients, at the currently defined highest feasible doses. Enhancing the potency of oncolytic viruses is necessary for more viruses to be used effectively in clinical settings, thus they are being studied in combination with other therapies for higher therapeutic benefits.

Self-tunable engineered yeast probiotics for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease

Benjamin M. Scott et al.

Summary: A synthetic yeast-based therapeutic has been developed to reduce intestinal inflammation, fibrosis, and dysbiosis in mouse models of colitis and enteritis. This therapy involves engineered yeast probiotics that can sense a pro-inflammatory molecule and generate a proportional self-regulated response aimed at its neutralization, potentially providing a new treatment for inflammatory bowel disease.

Safety and pharmacodynamics of an engineered E. coli Nissle for the treatment of phenylketonuria: a first-in-human phase 1/2a study

Marja K. Puurunen et al.

Summary: The engineered E. coli strain SYNB1618 shows potential for the treatment of PKU, as it was safe and well tolerated in a phase 1/2a clinical trial with both healthy volunteers and PKU patients. The study demonstrated dose-responsive increases in strain-specific Phe metabolites in plasma and urine, supporting the proof of concept for using engineered bacteria in the treatment of rare metabolic disorders.
