CD73 elevation

Using ST80, a pharmacologic inhibitor of OTUD4, the authors demonstrated the restoration of cytotoxic T cell function and enhanced efficacy of anti-PD-L1 therapy in preclinical models. These findings underscore the therapeutic potential of targeting the OTUD4/CD73 axis in TNBC.

The nanodrug, named as AptEM@CBA, is constructed by encapsulation of photothermal agent black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs) and selective CD73 inhibitor α, β-Methyleneadenosine 5'-diphosphate (AMPCP) in chitosan nanogels, which are further covered with aptamer AS1411 modified erythrocyte membrane (EM) for biomimetic camouflage...Meanwhile, the release of AMPCP suppress the adenosine generation via CD73 blockade, alleviating the impairment of adenosine to dendritic cells and suppressing regulatory T cells, synergically stimulate the activity of T cells. The combination of CD73 blockade with PTT, not only suppresses the growth of primary implanted tumors, but also boosts strong antitumor immunity to inhibit the growth of distal tumors, providing good potential for tumor photoimmunotherapy.

These findings indicate that ZIKV infection could lead to reduced cell viability, elevated CD73 expression, improved cellular adherence, and higher rates of apoptosis in glioblastoma cells. Further studies are required to explore the potential use of ZIKV in the treatment of GBM.

High-level HLA-I were associated with better clinical outcomes to ICI in our cohort of NSCLC patients. Therefore, further investigations are warranted to refine this biomarker and validate its efficacy in prospective and larger set of patients.

Results from ARC-8 demonstrate the addition of Q 100 mg ± Z to G/nP was safe and tolerable, with no significant added toxicity to GnP. Modulation of eADO with Q may confer benefit beyond radiographic measures of disease. The OS is promising and supports further development of Q in mPDAC.
