In conclusion, this study suggests that CD70 is a potential diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker for DLBCL. Our findings provide valuable insights for the development of novel therapeutic strategies targeting CD70 in DLBCL treatment.

Overexpression of B7H3, B7H4, PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2, CD70, and Galectin-3 on tumors is significantly associated with unfavorable clinicopathological characteristics and poor prognostic factors. Hence, these immune checkpoints can serve as predictive biomarkers for prognosis and the clinicopathological features of colorectal cancer because this is essential to identify patients suitable for anticancer therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

In conclusion, our study defined POSTN as a key regulator in mediating the molecular crosstalk between GSCs and immune-suppressive Microglia in the tumor microenvironment in GBM. POSTN activates the PI3K/AKT/β-catenin/FOSL1 pathway in an autocrine manner to promote GSC self-renewal and tumor growth. At the same time, POSTN recruits microglia in a paracrine manner and upregulates the expression of CD70 in microglia through the PI3K/AKT/NFκB pathway, thereby promoting the development and function of Treg and generating an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Our findings indicate that targeting the POSTN gene may be a promising approach to ablating GSCs, breaking the immunosuppressive environment and overcoming treatment resistance in GBM.

Our findings reveal that POSTN plays critical roles in maintaining GSCs and the immunosuppressive phenotype of microglia and provide a new therapeutic target for treating GBM.

Overall, 73.1% (49/67) of cervical cancer samples are CD138-positive with 38.8% (26/67) of cervical cancer samples showing at least moderate or high expression. (4) TROP2, CEACAM5 or CD138 do seem suitable for further clinical research and the data presented here might be used to guide further clinical trials with ADCs in advanced and recurrent cervical cancer patients.

These findings provide strong support for the potential of nanobody-based CD70 CAR-T cells as a promising therapeutic option for RCC. This warrants further development and consideration for future clinical trials and applications.

Importantly, mice received two doses of CD70-CAR NK cells showed effective eradication of tumors, accompanied by increased concentration of plasma IL-15 and enhanced CAR-NK cell proliferation and persistence. Our study suggests that repetitive administration-based CAR NK-cell therapy has clinical advantage compared to single dose of CAR-NK cells for the treatment of B-cell lymphoma.

On the basis of our observations, CD70 and POSTN immunohistochemistry can be used in the prognostication of CRC patients. CRC CAFs may be a promising target in the treatment of CRC patients.

In this study, we employed routine diagnostic techniques, such as immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry, to investigate the expression of CD70 in bone marrow samples from treatment-naïve and relapsed AML patients after hypomethylating agents (HMA). Also, we evaluated the impact of HMA on CD70 expression and examined CD70 expression in various leukemic cell subsets and normal hematopoietic progenitors.

We disclose CD70 as an attractive target both in hematological and solid tumors. IL-15 armored CAR NK cells act as potent effectors to eliminate these CD70+ cells. They can target both tumor cells and CAFs in patients with CRC and PDAC, and potentially other desmoplastic solid tumors.

Furthermore, positive expression of CD70 by NPC cells was significantly correlated with EBV infection. Our results suggest that CD70/CD27-targeted immunotherapies may be promising treatment options and that sCD27 may become an essential tool for evaluating the applicability of these therapies by predicting the intratumoral CD70/CD27 interaction in NPC.

Our findings validated CD70 as a promising therapeutic target for patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma. The utility of primary tumor tissue as surrogate samples for metastatic clear cell carcinoma awaits future CD70-targeted clinical trials.

8R-70CAR T cells are able to specifically recognize and kill CD70+ AML cells, and cytotoxicity may be augmented by enhancing CD70 expression with azacytidine pre-treatment. A LLS tumoroid model can aid in 3D visualization of 8R-70CAR T cells interactions AML cells. These findings combined with safety data obtained from our ongoing phase I clinical trial for adults with glioblastoma (NCT05353530) will support expansion of our existing IND to treat patients with AML using our novel 8R-70CAR.

We successfully generated CD70 CAR-T cells based on a VHH nanobody (11C9) and CD19 CAR-T cells based on murine scFv (FMC63) following the exact manufacturing protocols used for phase I and phase II clinical trial products respectively... Our results indicate that CD70 CAR-T cell is potential treatment for NHL. We will conduct an investigation of single and dual CD70 CAR-T on treatment of lymphoma especially for CD19 negative NHL.

To better study these specialized CAR T cells in this context, we have developed an innovative in vitro three-dimensional model that promises to dissect the interactions between tumors and CAR T cells at the single-cell level. Our findings provide valuable insights into the complex dynamics of CAR T cell function in solid tumors, informing future research and development in this promising cancer treatment approach.

Taken together, our findings validate CD70 as a promising target for TCL treatment using CAR NK cells. Our approach provides a solid foundation for the clinical translation of CD70-targeting CAR NK-cell therapy for patients with TCL.

In addition, using immunohistological staining, we found that CD70 was expressed on 10 of 10 patients who had progressed on BCMA targeted therapies (seven who had progressed on belantamab mafodotin, an antibody drug conjugate, three who had progressed on idecabtagene vicleucel, a BCMA CAR-T), suggesting that CD70 could be a viable target in patients who have failed BCMA targeted therapy. In summary, we were able to demonstrate that CD70 can be a feasible target for the treatment of multiple myeloma, including in patients who have failed BCMA targeted therapy. Based on these results, we have initiated a Phase I/II clinical trial (NCT05092451) that is currently recruiting.

Finally, we also demonstrated that treatment with the hypomethylating agent azacytidine can drive increased CD70 expression, similar to that shown in AML models. Taken together, targeting CD70 appears to be a highly promising cellular therapeutic strategy for MM, with particularly high utility in high-risk patients after BCMA CAR-T relapse. We are continuing preclinical and future clinical development of this CAR-T strategy, using our natural ligand CD27 design with extended in vivo persistence.

Moreover, different monoclonal antibodies (Abs) and Ab-derivates were tested including a CD70 blocking antibody (αCD70) and an antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) optimized antibody (cusatuzumab, ArgenX) that activates FcγR-expressing effector cells to assess the therapeutic potential of targeting CD70 in MM... Our results indicate that CD70-expressing MM cells have a stem-cell like phenotype and propagate the disease. Targeting CD70 is a promising new therapy especially in advanced disease.

In vitro cell-based assays demonstrated that IMM40H had considerably stronger CD70-binding affinity than competitor anti-CD70 antibodies, including cusatuzumab, which enabled it to block the interaction of between CD70 and CD27 more effectively...A strong synergistic effect between IMM01 (SIRPα-Fc fusion protein) and IMM40H was recorded in Burkitt's lymphoma Raji and renal carcinoma cell A498 tumor models...IMM40H is a high-affinity humanized IgG1 specifically targeting the CD70 monoclonal antibody with enhanced Fc-dependent activities. IMM40H has a dual mechanism of action: inducing cytotoxicity against CD70+ tumor cells via various effector functions (ADCC, ADCP and CDC) and obstructs the proliferation and activation of Tregs by inhibiting CD70/CD27 signaling.

This work represents the first preclinical study to identify the synergy of RT and CAR-NK cell therapy in solid tumors and is the first demonstration of CAR-NK cell activity against human HNSCCs.

Nonetheless, CD70-based clinical trials are currently ongoing and are preliminarily showing promising results for patients with osteosarcoma. The present review sheds light on the recent literature on CD70 as it relates to osteosarcoma and highlights the benefits and challenges of targeting this pathway.

Among the markers explored, only PAX5 and CD70 appear to be differentially expressed and are predominantly restricted to thymic carcinomas. Therefore, in small biopsy specimens and in resections in which the morphological features remain equivocal, application of these particular stains may facilitate separation of thymic carcinoma and atypical thymoma.

This study evidenced that CD70 stimulation during manufacturing process induced early exhaustion of CAR-70 T-cells. Knocking-out CD70 in T-cells prevented the exhaustion and led to a better-quality CAR-70 T-cell product. Our research will contribute to good engineering CAR T-cells targeting self-expressed antigens.

Furthermore, blocking CD70 using cusatuzumab, a high-affinity monoclonal antibody, reversed the anti-PD-1 therapy resistance induced by M2 EVs in vivo. Finally, we demonstrated that METTL3 expression negatively correlated with CD70 expression and M2 macrophages and Tregs infiltration in PTC and ATC tissues. Our findings provide new insights into developing novel therapies for advanced PTC and ATC.
