Plasticity in the Absence of NOTCH Uncovers a RUNX2-Dependent Pathway in Small Cell Lung Cancer

Deli Hong et al.

Summary: The study reveals the role of NOTCH mutations in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) tumorigenesis and plasticity. The loss-of-function NOTCH mutations in SCLCs can drive nonneuroendocrine plasticity and promote tumor growth. The study also identifies a Notch-independent mechanism involving RUNX2-REST pathway and innate immune signaling, which suggests potential therapeutic approaches for SCLCs with NOTCH2 mutations.

Metabolic modulation of immune checkpoints and novel therapeutic strategies in cancer

Yi Wang et al.

Summary: Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) or programmed death-1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-based immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown significant improvements in overall survival of certain cancer patients, but resistance to immunotherapy remains a challenge. This article examines the metabolic modulation of tumor immunity and immune checkpoints in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and discusses potential metabolism-based therapeutic strategies. Understanding the link between tumor metabolism and immunotherapy is crucial for cancer treatment and research.

Neutrophil extracellular traps in cancer

Leonardo Cristinziano et al.

Summary: Neutrophils, in addition to their well-known functions in the acute phases of the immune response, play important roles in tumor initiation and progression through the release of various mediators. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), composed of DNA and decorating proteins, not only trap and kill extracellular pathogens, but also have both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects in cancer-related inflammation. This review focuses on the mechanisms underlying the emerging effects of NETs in cancer initiation and progression.

Summary: Understanding the mechanisms of how T cells become dysfunctional in a tumor microenvironment is crucial for cancer immunotherapy. This study found that CD36 expression in tumor-infiltrating CD8(+) T cells, induced by TME cholesterol, is associated with tumor progression and poor survival, and that genetic ablation of Cd36 in these T cells leads to enhanced tumor eradication. Targeting CD36 or inhibiting ferroptosis could restore T cell function and enhance antitumor efficacy, especially in combination with anti-PD-1 antibodies.

Human leukocyte antigen class II-based immune risk model for recurrence evaluation in stage I-III small cell lung cancer

Summary: The study revealed that in patients with SCLC, the expression of HLA class II on TILs was negatively associated with lymph node metastasis and positively correlated with PD-L1 and multiple immune markers. High expression of HLA class II on TILs predicted a longer recurrence-free survival (RFS) in SCLC patients, and an immune risk model including HLA class II, PD-L1, CD4, and FOXP3 showed better predictive power for recurrence than tumor stage. Pathway enrichment analyses indicated that patients with high HLA class II expression demonstrated signatures of transmembrane transportation, channel activity, and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, suggesting the crucial role of HLA class II in tumor immune microenvironment and recurrence prediction.
