IDO1 expression

PATIENT SUMMARY: We analyzed patient samples from two clinical trials (NRG/RTOG 0524 and 0712) of chemoradiation for muscle-invasive bladder cancer using a novel method to assess immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. Higher expression of genes associated with immune activation and high overall immune-cell content were associated with better disease-free survival and overall survival for patients treated with chemoradiation.

Notably, CD58 genetic alterations, along with low CD58 expression, significantly correlated with reduced rates of response to R-CHOP therapy and inferior progression-free and overall survival...Direct activation of CD58-CD2 costimulatory signaling in combination with anti-PD-L1 blockade or IDO inhibitor sensitized CD58-deficient DLBCL to CAR T-cell therapy. Collectively, this work identified the multiple roles of CD58 in regulating antitumor immune responses in DLBCL.

IDO1 expression warrants further exploration as a predictive biomarker for immunotherapy. Moreover, co-expressed immunoregulatory molecules merit exploration for co-targeting.

Differences in IO-related gene expression and TIME cell distribution suggest that response to IO therapies may differ in PDAC arising from H vs. B/T. Subtle differences in the genomic profiles of H vs. B/T tumors were observed.

The clinical treatment of IDO1 is now better supported by a theoretical basis and guidelines provided by our study.

The IAA, IDO1, and kynurenine/tryptophan ratios were all higher in EC tissue, and the M1/M2 ratio was lower. Our study sheds light on the link between IDO1 induction and uterine Peptostreptococcus dysbiosis and provides a potential rationale for the role of Peptostreptococcus species in immune tolerance induction in type I endometrial cancer.

Their potential to deliver potent dual inhibition of IDO1/TDO2, along with safety and favorable pharmacokinetics, makes them compelling. Validation through in vitro and in vivo assays should be conducted to confirm their activity, selectivity, and preclinical potential as holo IDO1/TDO2 dual inhibitors.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Together, our findings unveil a mechanism of mitophagy in OC angiogenesis and indicate the clinical relevance of EV enriched L-kyn as a potential biomarker for tumorigenesis and progression. Additionally, IDO1 inhibitors might become an alternative option for OC adjuvant therapy.

Lastly, IDO1 and PDL1-specific CD4+ T cell clones from melanoma patients treated with IO102-IO103 vaccine could selectively target cells differentially expressing IDO1 or PDL1.Our data collectively show that cells expressing IDO1 and PD-L1 represent distinct populations in the TME thus targetable by the IDO1-PD-L1 vaccination approach...These data are supported by ex vivo functional assays using target specific T cells from vaccinated patients. Altogether, our data support the use of a dual antigen approach to reduce the immunosuppression and enhance anti-tumor effect.

Conversely, blockade of interleukin-10 signaling preferentially enhanced the capacity of CD8+ T cells to secrete Interferon gamma when being cocultured with CBM588-primed lamina propria mononuclear cells of tumor-bearing mice. Our results demonstrate that CBM588-centered intervention can adequately improve intestinal homeostasis and efficiently overcome resistance to PD-1 blockade in mice.

Conversely, loss of PABPC1L diminished IDO1 expression, mitigated cytotoxic T-cell suppression, and enhanced responsiveness to anti-PD-1 therapy in patient-derived xenograft models. These findings reveal the crucial role of PABPC1L in facilitating immune evasion in RCC and indicate that inhibiting PABPC1L could be a potential immunotherapeutic approach in combination with ICB to improve patient outcomes.

The effects of calcitriol on breast CAFs, both at the gene and protein levels, are complex, reflecting the immunosuppressive or procancer properties of CAFs. The anticancer polarization of CAFs following ex vivo calcitriol treatment may result from decreased CCL2, TNC (gene and protein), MMP9, and MMP-2, while the opposite effect may result from increased PDPN, TIMP1 (gene and protein), and SPP1. Despite these multifaceted effects of calcitriol on molecule expression, CAFs' CMs from nonmetastatic and postmenopausal patients treated ex vivo with calcitriol decreased the migration of MCF-7 cells.

IDO1 was mainly expressed in monocytes and dendritic cells, and high IDO1 activity in monocytes was associated with enriched immunostimulatory pathways. Our findings provided in-depth information about the infiltration patterns and prognostic value of cells expressing IDO and/or ARG1 in the colorectal cancer microenvironment highlighting the significance of host immune response in tumor progression.

Overall, our findings unveiled a new mechanism of action of epacadostat on IDO1 target, repositioning the catalytic inhibitor as a stabilizer of the apo-form of IDO1, still capable of transducing a pro-tumorigenic pathway in SKOV-3 tumor. This mechanism could contribute to clarify the lack of effectiveness of epacadostat in clinical trials and shed light on innovative immunotherapeutic strategies to tackle IDO1 target.

In the following feature selection analyses, four metabolites, namely, cyclopentyl fentanyl-d5, LPI 17:0, guanosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, kynurenine (KYN, high in EMPD) were identified by both random forest and support vector machine analyses...In conclusion, this study was the first to reveal the metabolome profile of EMPD. Our results demonstrate that IDO1/TDO2-initialized KYN metabolic pathway may play a vital role in the development and progression of EMPD, which may serve as a potential therapeutic target for treating EMPD.

Consequently, these effects result in efficient immune infiltration and positive anti-tumor outcomes. In conclusion, the HBI NDs nanodrug exhibits considerable potential as a novel agent for enhancing anticancer efficacy and promoting immune infiltration.

Importantly, we demonstrated that targeting the ARID5A-IDO1-AhR axis using AhR or IDO1 inhibitors effectively alleviated T cell exhaustion induced by ARID5A. These findings suggest that modulating the ARID5A-IDO1-AhR axis may represent a promising therapeutic strategy to overcome CAR T-cell therapy resistance in solid tumors and enhance treatment efficacy.

Then, we randomized BALB/c mice (8 weeks old) into six groups, including control, phosphate buffer saline (PBS), BCII, BCII + heat inactivated Tsp43 (HiTsp43), BCII + Tsp43, and BCII + Tsp43 + 1-methyl-troptophan (1-MT) groups...These results suggested that Tsp43 played an important role in the treatment of arthritis by inhibiting the proliferation of CD4T cells and inducing CD4T cells apoptosis through the high expression of IDO. The purpose of this experiment was to provide a new idea for the treatment of RA and lay a foundation for the development of parasite-derived drugs for the treatment of RA.

OSCCs were found to exhibit relevant ITH involving both tumor cells and TME, suggesting that biomarker analysis of multiple tumor regions may be helpful for clinical decision making and tumor characterization. The analysis of multiple spots within a biopsy is recommended for a reliable determination of PD-L1 expression and other biomarkers, impacting current clinical assessments.

In stage IA NSCLC, a low concentration of IFN-γ promotes the polarization of TAMs to the M2 phenotype in the TME model by upregulating the expression of IDO1, promoting the viability of cancer cells, inhibiting the viability of T cells and NK cells, and thus establishing an immune microenvironment conducive to tumor progression.

KEB-SCCs showed the lowest expression of the exhaustion markers TIM-3 and LAG-3 compared with all other groups. These findings identify IDO, PD-1, and PD-L1 to be increased in EB-SCCs and candidate targets for combinatory treatments, especially in DEB-SCCs.

Rigorous research on potential enhancing factors, environmental or lifestyle, is crucial for its detection and prevention. The use of the reported profile for early risk stratification is suggested.

Targeted proteomics identified IL-6 and M-CSF as dominant drivers, and we show that IL-6R and CSF1R inhibition prevents tumor-induced CD14 cDC2s. Together, this indicates cDC2s as direct pre-cursors of DC3-like CD1cCD14 DCs and provides insights into the importance and modulation of CD14 DC3s in anti-tumor immune responses.

These results suggest that TSG-6 expression in ASCs can be regulated by high concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines in vitro and in vivo, and that A83-01 and SB202190 can reduce the expression of immunomodulators in ASCs. Therefore, our data suggest that co-treatment of ASCs with TGF-β or p38 inhibitors is not adequate to modulate inflammation.

AAEO could significantly inhibit the expression of COX-2, IDO1, and NF-κB; enhance the body's anti-inflammatory ability; and alleviate liver injury. In summary, our study identified the protective mechanism of AAEO on LPS-induced liver injury at the level of small molecular metabolites, providing a potential liver protective agent for the treatment of LPS-induced liver injury.

It also highlights the importance of T, natural killer, and antigen-presenting cells as robust biomarker tools for understanding immune checkpoint inhibitor-based treatment dynamics. Though a comprehensive review, all aspects of the immune molecules could not be covered as they were beyond the scope of the review; Further review articles can cover other aspects to bridge the knowledge gap.

We can state that both Larifan and its fractions were superior to LPS as vaccine adjuvants in stimulating phenotype and functional activity of mature DCs. DCs maturation using these factors induces a valuable anticancer immune response.

Since both IDO and AHR are involved in their complex molecular networks, blocking both IDO and AHR might cause alterations in their molecular networks resulting in diminishing the migration and clonogenic abilities of breast cancer cells. However, further investigations are required to confirm our findings within in vivo models as a novel therapy for breast cancer.

This is the first study to investigate the expression of the Trp enzymes IDO1, IDO2, TDO2 and IL4I1 in OCCC tissues. IDO2, TDO2 and IL4I1 were detected in the majority of OCCC. Clinical traits were correlated with IDO1, IDO2, TDO2 and IL4I1 expression. IDO1 may be used as a therapeutic target given the large percentage of chemoresistant cases with IDO1 expression. These results will aid the development of personalised therapies for OCCC.

IDO1 pathway in NSCLC is driven by the immune system rather than by tumor cells. Targeting IDO1 in combination with anti-PD1/PDL1 might be beneficial only in patients with inflamed tumors and particularly in those bearing TLS.

Efforts are underway to identify the proteome-wide direct target of BMS in CLL cells. In conclusion, our limited and preliminary data suggest that BMS could be considered as a potential therapeutic strategy to target CLL cells with a double hit: by blocking the pro-survival effect of BCR signaling, one of the driving forces for CLL cell survival and proliferation, and by inhibiting IDO1/kynurenine action to restore sensitivity to key leukemia treatments.

L. gallinarum-derived ICA improved anti-PD1 efficacy in CRC through suppressing CD4+Treg differentiation and enhancing CD8+T cell function by modulating the IDO1/Kyn/AHR axis. L. gallinarum is a potential adjuvant to augment anti-PD1 efficacy against CRC.

Our data suggest that IFN-γ-primed MSCs may be a more efficacious immunosuppressive therapy aimed at diseases that target T cells (ie, graft-versus-host disease) compared with TNF-α-primed or non-primed MSCs, which may be better suited for therapies in other disease settings. These results contribute to our understanding of MSC bioactivity and suggest rational ex vivo cytokine priming approaches for MSC manufacturing and therapeutic applications.
