TNF-α signals through ITK-Akt-mTOR to drive CD4+ T cell metabolic reprogramming, which is dysregulated in rheumatoid arthritis. (PubMed, Sci Signal)
These cells also exhibited increased mitochondrial mass, particularly within proinflammatory T cell subsets implicated in disease. Together, these findings suggest that T cell-derived TNF-α drives their metabolic reprogramming by promoting signaling through ITK, Akt, and mTOR, which is dysregulated in autoinflammatory disease.

Dynamic Single-Cell Profiling Reveals Novel Immune Regulatory Mechanism of ITK Inhibitor Soquelitinib in Refractory T Cell Lymphoma (ASH 2023)
Conclusions Our findings reveal a novel immune regulatory mechanism by which the ITK inhibitor soquelitinib induced normal CD4+ Th1 cells and CD8+ TEMRA cells and reduced CD4+ Treg cells in the tumor microenvironment in responding patients. These findings demonstrate the potential of soquelitinib as a novel immunotherapy for the treatment of T-cell lymphomas and solid tumors.

Overcoming immune checkpoint blockade resistance in solid tumors with intermittent ITK inhibition. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
ITK inhibition directly reinvigorate exhausted CTL in vitro as it enhanced cytokine production, decreased inhibitory receptor expression, and downregulated the transcription factor TOX. Our study demonstrates that intermittent ITK inhibition can be used to directly ameliorate CTL exhaustion and enhance immunotherapies even in solid tumors that are ICB resistant.

Leukemic Presentation and Progressive Genomic Alterations of MCD/C5 Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). (PubMed, Cold Spring Harb Mol Case Stud)
Despite an initial good clinical response to BTK inhibitor ibrutinib, anti-CD20 antibody rituxan, alkylating agent bendamustine, and hematopoietic stem-cell transplant, the lymphoma relapsed, accompanied by morphologic and molecular evidence of disease progression. Finally, the relapsed lymphoma cells showed in vitro resistance to standard BTK inhibitors but sensitivity to vecabrutinib, active against mutated BTK, and to PIM1 inhibitor. In summary, we provide in-depth molecular characterization of a case representing leukemic form of DLBCL and discuss mechanisms that may have contributed to lymphoma progression and development of drug resistance.

Mutations Detected in Real World Clinical Sequencing during BTK Inhibitor Treatment in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) (IWCLL 2023)
73 patients had only one BTKi (ibrutinib (IBR), 64; acalabrutinib (ACA), 9). 12 pts had multiple BTKis, 8 with two drugs with IBR first followed by ACA (Nf3, 37.5%), vecabrutinib (Nf1, 12.5%), and PIR (Nf4, 50.0%); and 4 with three or more drugs... Our retrospective report summarizes mutations detected during BTKi treatment and shows that BTK L528W can occur during both covalent and non-covalent BTK inhibitor therapy. Four of six patients who progressed on PIR had T474 mutations. In addition, our results may suggest that activating mutations in RAS/RAF/MAPK pathway are related to BTKi resistance.

ITK degradation to block T cell receptor signaling and overcome therapeutic resistance in T cell lymphomas. (PubMed, Cell Chem Biol)
BSJ-05-037 displayed enhanced anti-proliferative effects relative to its parent inhibitor BMS-509744, blocked the activation of NF-kB/GATA-3 signaling, and increased the sensitivity of T cell lymphoma cells to cytotoxic chemotherapy both in vitro and in vivo. In summary, targeted degradation of ITK is a novel approach to modulate TCR signal strength that could have broad application for the investigation and treatment of T cell-mediated diseases.

Selective ITK blockade induces antitumor responses and enhances efficacy to immune checkpoint inhibitors in preclinical models (AACR 2023)
Levels of several exhaustion makers were down-regulated by treatment with CPI-818, suggesting that inhibition of ITK by CPI-818 produces favorable changes in the tumor microenvironment. Our findings provide insights into the effects of selective ITK blockade on tumor immunity and its potential role in immunotherapy.

CD28-Y218 phosphorylation in CAR-T cells is mediated by the IL-2-inducible T-cell kinase (ITK) (AACR 2023)
To determine the role of ITK in CD28-218 phosphorylation: 1) PSCA-specific CAR-T cells were treated with ITK inhibitors 10 μM (BMS-509744 or Ibrutinib) for 24h and 2) ITK-deficient Jurkat cells expressing a PSCA-specific CAR were cocultured with HPAC cells for 0 or 10 min...In vivo, this mutation completely abrogated the therapeutic effect of CAR-T cells in a pancreatic cancer model. In conclusion, these results indicate that ITK is required for CD28-Y218 phosphorylation, a signaling event that plays an important role in CAR-T cell function, with direct impact on IL-2 secretion and antitumor efficacy.

Identification of fatty acid metabolism-based molecular subtypes and prognostic signature to predict immune landscape and guide clinical drug treatment in renal clear cell carcinoma. (PubMed, Int Immunopharmacol)
Through the R package pRRophetic, drug sensitivity tests showed that the low-risk score group would benefit more from sunitinib and less from pazopanib, sorafenib, temsirolimus, gemcitabine and doxorubicin than the high-risk score group. We performed the relevant basic assay validation for CPT1B, and the proliferation ability of RCC cells was inhibited after the knockdown of protein expression of CPT1B. In conclusion, we established a four-gene model that can predict outcomes of RCC with potential applications in diagnosis and treatment.

The VEGF inhibitors pazopanib and lenvatinib were tested in the model and were validated by a 3D invasion assay, which demonstrated that changes induced by the carcinogen in spheroids were consistent with a malignant phenotype. In summary, we successfully established a 3D spheroid model of oral carcinogenesis for biomarker discovery and drug testing. This model is a validated preclinical model for OSCC development and would be suitable for testing a range of chemotherapeutic agents.

Angiogenesis-related gene signatures reveal the prognosis of cervical cancer based on single cell sequencing and co-expression network analysis. (PubMed, Front Cell Dev Biol)
First we screened the AG gene set from GeneCard website, and then performed angiogenesis-related scores (AGS) per cell from single cell sequencing dataset GSE168652, followed by performing weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) for cervical cancer patients according to angiogenesis phenotype...Patients in the low-AGS group were more sensitive to AMG.706, Bosutinib, and Lenalidomide while Imatinib, Pazopanib, and Sorafenib were more recommended to patients in the high-AGS group...Meanwhile, the results showed that TXNDC12 promoted the migration of cervical cancer cells and the tubule-forming ability of endothelial cells. In conclusion, our model based on genes with AG features can effectively assess the prognosis of cervical cancer, and can also provide reference for clinicians to choose immune-related treatments.

Finally, we proposed five KG-guided repurposable drug molecules (imatinib, regorafenib, pazopanib, teniposide, and dexrazoxane) for TNBC through network pharmacology and molecular docking analyses. These drug molecules also showed significant binding performance with some cancer-related PTM-sites (phosphorylation, succinylation, and ubiquitination) of top-ranked four key proteins (EGFR, AURKB, BIRC5, and TOP2A). Therefore, the findings of this computational study may play a vital role in early diagnosis and therapies against TNBC by wet-lab validation.

Furthermore, patients in the high-risk group are more sensitive to targeted therapy or chemotherapy, including bosutinib, elesclomol, lenalidomide, midostaurin, pazopanib and sunitinib, while the low-risk group is more likely to benefit from immunotherapy. Finally, in vitro study confirmed the oncogenic significance of ATG14 in both HCT116 and SW480 cells, whose overexpression increased CRC cell proliferation, colony formation, and migration. In conclusion, we developed a novel mitophagy-related gene signature that can be utilized not only as an independent predictive biomarker but also as a tool for tailoring personalizing treatment for CRC patients, and we confirmed ATG14 as a novel oncogene in CRC.

Changes in the T Helper Cell Compartment during Treatment with the BTK Inhibitor Acalabrutinib (ASH 2022)
To characterize acalabrutinib effects on T cell numbers and function in patients with CLL, we analyzed serial samples from 12 acalabrutinib-treated CLL patients at baseline, after 1 week, and after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months of continuous acalabrutinib treatment (with monthly Obinutuzumab added during months 3-9) in an ongoing Phase 2 trial (NCT04505254). Collectively, the reduction in T cells and T helper cell subset numbers, along with changes in surface activation markers, and reduced cytokine and Ki-67 expression suggest that an activated pre-treatment T helper cell compartment normalizes during continuous acalabrutinib therapy. These findings are reminiscent of the T cell data from patients receiving ibrutinib therapy, suggesting that off-target effects of the BTK inhibitor may not dictate T helper cell changes, and these may rather be due to activation by the CLL clone, which diminishes as the underlying disease responds to treatment.

IFITM3 Acts As a PIP3 Scaffold in TCR-PI3K Signaling (ASH 2022)
We conclude that IFITM3 is essential for antigen receptor and oncogenic signaling not only in B cells but also in T cells. These findings identify a novel component of TCR signaling and suggest a shared mechanism for lymphocyte dependency on IFITM3 through scaffolding the lipid PIP3, a mechanism which can be leveraged to amplify oncogenic signaling in T cell malignancies.
