    Dual A2A/ A2B adenosine receptor antagonist M1069 counteracts immuno-suppressive mechanisms of adenosine and reduces tumor growth in vivo. (PubMed, Mol Cancer Ther)
    In vivo, M1069 decreased tumor growth as a monotherapy and enhanced anti-tumor activity of bintrafusp alfa (BA) or cisplatin in syngeneic adenosinehi/CD73hi 4T1 breast tumor model, but not in the CD73 knockout (KO) 4T1 tumor model or in adenosinelow/CD73low MC38 murine colon carcinoma model. In summary, our dual A2A/A2B AR antagonist M1069 may counteract immune-suppressive mechanisms of high concentrations of adenosine in vitro and in vivo and enhance the anti-tumor activity of other agents, including BA and cisplatin.

    Development of [Lu]Lu-LNC1003 for radioligand therapy of prostate cancer with a moderate level of PSMA expression. (PubMed, Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging)
    In this study, [Lu]Lu-LNC1003 was successfully synthesized with high radiochemical purity and stability. High binding affinity and PSMA targeting specificity were identified in vitro and in vivo. With greatly enhanced tumor uptake and retention, [Lu]Lu-LNC1003 has the potential to improve therapeutic efficacy using significantly lower dosages and less cycles of Lu that promises clinical translation to treat prostate cancer with various levels of PSMA expression.

    ATP-Dependent Induction of IDO1 Expression in Dendritic Cells Is Controlled through Non-Canonical NF-Kb Signaling Via P2Y11R and Leads to T Regulatory Cells Induction (ASH 2022)
    CD14+- derived DCs were cultured with ATP in presence or absence of P2X7R and P2Y11R antagonists (AZ 10606120 dihydrochloride and NF 340, respectively) and inflammasome inhibitors (Bay 11-7082 and Ac-YVAD-cmk), and then used for flow cytometry, western blot or real-time PCR analyses to evaluate DC phenotype, in particular CD73, CD39 and IDO1 expression, or release of IL-1beta as response pattern of activated inflammasome... Our data suggest that different mechanisms operate in tumor microenvironment. 1. ATP-dependent IDO1 upregulation in DCs which is induced through non-canonical NF-kB signaling by P2Y11 activation while ATP-dependent inflammasome activation via P2X7R is not involved in IDO1 regulation.
