Irradiated Liver Cancer Cell Vaccine Transfected With GM-CSF Induces Specific and Long-Lasting Anti-tumour Immunity Through the Synergistic Effect of Oxidised mtDNA and GM-CSF. (PubMed, Cell Prolif)
In summary, our study demonstrates that the Hepa 1-6-mGM-CSF vaccine elicits robust anti-tumour immunity through the coordinated release of ox-mtDNA and GM-CSF, with ox-mtDNA synergistically enhancing immune activation via the cGAS-STING signalling pathway. Collectively, these findings highlight the Hepa 1-6-mGM-CSF vaccine as a promising strategy for liver cancer management.

Molecular Biology and Phase 1 Study of GM-CSF and Intrathecal Trastuzumab in Children with Recurrent Posterior Fossa Ependymoma. (PubMed, Neuro Oncol)
IT trastuzumab in combination with GM-CSF is safe in recurrent pediatric PF EPN. A larger phase 2 study that includes both recurrent PFA and RELA-ST EPN is needed to determine the long-term efficacy of this immunotherapy strategy.

Gut Microbiome Signatures Differ in Cirrhosis With and Without Hepatocellular Carcinoma in a Southeast Asian Cohort. (PubMed, J Gastroenterol Hepatol)
Among the Thai cohort, HCC with cirrhosis was associated with distinct gut microbial changes, reduced BCoAT expression, increased gut permeability, and cytokine alterations, highlighting the contribution of gut dysbiosis and microbial by-products to liver disease progression.

Oncolytic Virus VV-GMCSF-Lact and Human GM-CSF Against GL261 Glioma in Immunocompetent Mice. (PubMed, Pharmaceuticals (Basel))
VV-GMCSF-Lact treatment was associated with a decreased proportion of malignant GL261 cells and CD8+ T lymphocytes, while rhGM-CSF treatment increased proportions of MDSCs, macrophages, NK cells, and tumor-associated neutrophils. Taken together, our data demonstrate that VV-GMCSF-Lact induces antitumor immune responses in murine GL261 glioma in vivo and modulates the tumor microenvironment more effectively than rhGM-CSF alone, supporting its potential for developing new strategies for glioma treatment.

End-of-Induction Response and Tolerability of High-Risk Neuroblastoma Treated with Chemoimmunotherapy-Modified N7 Regimen with Dinutuximab Beta. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
The incorporation of dinutuximab beta into a modified N7 induction regimen demonstrates a satisfactory EOI response rate and a manageable safety profile in children with HR-NB. These preliminary results support the feasibility of this chemoimmunotherapy approach and warrant further investigation in larger cohorts to confirm its efficacy in long-term survival outcomes.

Colony-stimulating factor-2 triggers NNMT-dependent myofibroblast activation in head and neck cancer. (PubMed, Oncogene)
In drug screening assays, CSF2 blockade partially overcame resistance to TGF-β inhibition. These findings establish the CSF2/FOS/NNMT axis as a TGF-β-independent pathway driving myoCAF activation.

Colony-stimulating factors improve neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy efficacy in non-small-cell lung cancer without EGFR or ALK mutations: A double-center real-world retrospective study. (PubMed, Lung Cancer)
For NSCLC patients without EGFR or ALK mutations receiving NICT, G-CSF administration could enhance PCR rates. Prospective trials evaluating G-CSF and GM-CSF combined with PD-1 inhibitors are warranted.

Vinorelbine enhances the efficacy of oncolytic vaccinia virus in a preclinical model of ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma. (PubMed, Mol Ther Oncol)
A combination of the ΔVFTK-NG-GM-CSF virus with vinorelbine prolongs mouse survival compared to the treatment of mice with either agent alone. Our study suggests that vinorelbine is a promising agent to combine with oncolytic vaccinia virus for the management of ovarian cancer.

Subversion of kynurenine-induced AHR activation in CD8 T cells by kynureninase-expressing antigen-presenting cells. (PubMed, Cell Rep)
However, KYNU-expressing APCs can deplete extracellular kynurenine, prevent AHR activation, and restore IFN-γ production in CD8+ T cells. This highlights the importance of KYNU-expressing APCs in combating kynurenine-induced immune suppression against tumors.
