A dual diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) alpha/zeta inhibitor augments the activity of human tumor infiltrating lymphocytes in in vivo and ex vivo models. (PubMed, Oncoimmunology)
Finally, we demonstrated that the DGKi could augment T cell activation in human tumor slices that were stimulated by an anti-EGFR/anti-CD3 bispecific T cell engager (BiTE). These data demonstrate strong activity of the DGKi in human TILs and highlight promising potential avenues for clinical translation.

Selective disruption of DNMT1/ELK1 interactions induces DGKI re-expression and promotes temozolomide sensitivity of MGMTmethylated/DGKImethylated glioblastoma. (PubMed, Clin Epigenetics)
This study identifies a clinically actionable biomarker (MGMTMethylated/DGKIMethylated), detectable in both solid and liquid biopsies, enabling patient stratification. Furthermore, it establishes EXDDNMT1/ELK1 as a highly selective epigenetic therapeutic agent to treat GB patients.

DGKα/ζ inhibition lowers the TCR affinity threshold and potentiates antitumor immunity. (PubMed, Sci Adv)
Adoptive T cell transfer into mice bearing pancreatic or melanoma tumors synergized with single-agent DGKi or DGKi and antiprogrammed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), with increased expansion of low-affinity T cells and increased cytokine production observed in tumors of treated mice. Collectively, our findings highlight DGKα/ζ as therapeutic targets for augmenting tumor-specific CD8 T cell function.

Evidence of positive selection of genetic variants associated with PCOS. (PubMed, Hum Reprod)
Our findings provide additional evidence for the positive evolution of PCOS. Our analyses require confirmation in a larger study with more evolutionary indicators and larger data range. Further research to identify the roles of the DENND1A, AOPEP, THADA, DGKI, and UNC5C genes is also necessary.

Key molecules associated with thyroid carcinoma prognosis: A study based on transcriptome sequencing and GEO datasets. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
The DNA methylation level of OCA2 in cancer tissues was higher than that in the normal samples. RGS8, DGKI and OCA2 might be promising prognostic molecular markers in patients with THCA and reveal the clinical significance of RGS8, DGKI and OCA2 in THCA.
