Novel microenvironment-based classification of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with therapeutic implications

Miguel A. Martin-Serrano et al.

Summary: We present a comprehensive stratification of iCCA based on the tumor microenvironment (TME). The tumor is divided into five stable STIM classes, including 35% inflamed and 65% non-inflamed profiles. The inflamed classes, immune classical and inflammatory stroma, differ in oncogenic pathways and extent of desmoplasia. Analysis of cell-cell interactions highlights cancer-associated fibroblast subtypes as potential mediators of immune evasion. Among the non-inflamed classes, the desert-like class has the lowest immune infiltration with abundant regulatory T cells, while the hepatic stem-like class is enriched in 'M2-like' macrophages and specific mutations. Comparative analysis reveals high similarity between a KRAS/p19 murine model and the inflammatory stroma class. The KRAS-SOS inhibitor sensitizes a KRAS-mutant iCCA murine model to anti-PD1 therapy. Our findings provide valuable insights into the TME of iCCA and offer potential therapeutic targets for future research.

Summary: Mutations in IDH1, IDH2, and TET2 genes are commonly observed in myeloid neoplasms. These mutations have unexpected, distinct effects on hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, contrary to previous expectations. Understanding these molecular alterations could lead to the development of more effective, genotype-specific therapies.

Rational development of combination therapies for biliary tract cancers

James J. Harding et al.

Summary: Biliary tract cancers are rare gastrointestinal malignancies associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Various treatments, including chemotherapy, precision medicine, and immunotherapy, are used in both standard-of-care and investigational settings. Recent research has shown that the combination of durvalumab with gemcitabine and cisplatin improves survival outcomes. Precision medicine is utilized in patients with specific genetic alterations, while fluoropyridine doublets are used in patients without targetable genetic alterations. Next-generation sequencing is crucial for patient care and understanding resistance mechanisms. Ongoing clinical trials seek to improve treatment standards and develop effective combination drug therapies for the future.

Non-Inflamed Tumor Microenvironment and Methylation/Downregulation of Antigen-Presenting Machineries in Cholangiocarcinoma

Naoshi Nishida et al.

Summary: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a resistant cancer, and a majority of CCAs have a non-inflamed tumor phenotype resistant to treatment, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). This study aimed to understand the molecular characteristics of non-inflamed CCAs. The genetic/epigenetic status of 36 CCAs was analyzed, and it was found that tumors with alterations in FGFR2 and IDH1/2 had a non-inflamed phenotype. Downregulation of genes involved in antigen presentation and DNA methylation were associated with the non-inflamed phenotype. These findings provide important insights for developing new strategies to treat CCA.

Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts and Extracellular Matrix: Therapeutical Strategies for Modulating the Cholangiocarcinoma Microenvironment

Mirko Minini et al.

Summary: Immunotherapy has greatly impacted anti-tumor treatments, but solid tumor treatment has fallen short of expectations. Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a leading cause of hepatic cancer-related deaths due to drug inefficacy and chemo-resistance. Research is ongoing to understand the mechanisms of chemo-resistance and the role of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and the excess production of aberrant extracellular matrix (ECM) by these cells may limit drug access and contribute to immune exclusion. This article summarizes the features, functions, and interactions of CAFs, tumor-associated ECM, and immune cells in the TME, and discusses strategies to target CAFs and remodel the ECM for improved immunotherapy and drug therapies.

Inhibition of FGFR Reactivates IFNg Signaling in Tumor Cells to Enhance the Combined Antitumor Activity of Lenvatinib with Anti-PD-1 Antibodies

Yusuke Adachi et al.

Summary: This study examined the antitumor activity of lenvatinib and axitinib combined with anti-PD-1 mAb in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and found that the combination treatments showed greater antitumor activity and longer survival compared to single agent treatments. Lenvatinib specifically had enhanced antitumor activity and restored tumor response to IFNg stimulation by inhibiting FGFR signaling. These findings suggest the importance of FGFR signaling in cancer immunity and the potential of combination therapy with lenvatinib plus anti-PD-1 mAb.

Summary: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is characterized by infiltration of suppressive myeloid populations, including tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Tumors overexpress granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) which promotes an immunosuppressive microenvironment, but blocking GM-CSF shows promise in promoting anti-tumor immunity and regression.

Summary: This study analyzed mutations in HLA-ABC genes in colorectal cancers and found a subtype of tumors with reduced lymphocyte infiltration due to decreased expression of HLA-ABC genes. Patients with these tumors had shorter survival time, despite having a higher tumor mutation burden, suggesting a counterbalance between immunogenic effects and weakened immunoreactivity. Various genetic and epigenetic alterations led to reduced expression of HLA-ABC genes.

Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma is known to develop resistance to treatments due to mutations in key cellular pathways targeted by current molecular targeted agents. Immune checkpoint inhibitors show promise in cancer treatment by making cancer cells recognizable by the immune system. Understanding how cellular signaling pathways alter immune processes within tumors can help predict responses to ICI therapy in HCC cases.

Immunological Microenvironment Predicts the Survival of the Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treated with Anti-PD-1 Antibody

Masahiro Morita et al.

Summary: This study identified prognostic factors for anti-PD-1 antibody treatment in advanced HCC based on molecular and immunological features. Factors associated with better response included low alpha-fetoprotein levels, negative beta-catenin/GS staining, high CPS of PD-L1, and increased CD8(+) cell infiltration. Negative staining of beta-catenin/GS, CPS of PD-L1 >= 1, and high CD8(+) TILs were significantly associated with longer survival. These findings suggest that the combined score of Wnt/beta-catenin activation, CPS of PD-L1, and CD8(+) TILs can predict the response to ICI in HCC cases.
