Uveal Melanoma

It also outlines next generation directions, including higher order multispecific constructs, conditionally active antibodies, and payload conjugated multispecific formats. To consolidate these agents as an established therapeutic modality in oncology, priority should be given to rigorous understanding of mechanisms of action and toxicity, alongside rational optimisation of construct design and dosing, supported by robust prospective translational programmes.

Consistent with these subtype-specific features, CS1 tumors exhibited distinct sensitivities to dasatinib, lapatinib, paclitaxel, and cisplatin, indicating immune-state-associated therapeutic vulnerabilities. Together, these findings suggest a RUNX1-associated immunosuppressive tumor ecology in UVM and provide a conceptual framework for immune-state-guided therapeutic strategies.

Gene Set Enrichment Analysis confirms that lipid metabolic reprogramming, previously described in human tumors, is also a key feature of our model, validating its ability to recapitulate human disease biology. This study introduces a syngeneic preclinical model that mimics the immunosuppressive landscape of BAP1-deficient melanocytic tumors, enabling the development and optimization of new combination immunotherapies.

Our mutation-agnostic multiplex drop-off ddPCR assays provide a sensitive, specific, and cost-effective alternative to targeted NGS and simplex ddPCR for ctDNA monitoring in UM. By minimizing reliance on prior knowledge of tumor genotype with NGS, these assays enable broader clinical applicability for real-time treatment monitoring in UM.

The exceptionally high prevalence of BAP1 loss reflects the selection bias inherent in enucleation-based cohorts, which are enriched for large, molecularly high-risk tumors. This study provides the first comprehensive BAP1 immunohistochemical data from Croatia, contributing to the growing evidence that enucleation cohorts represent a distinct, biologically high-risk subgroup in which BAP1 immunohistochemistry offers limited discriminatory value. The extended follow-up of 11.2 years confirms the prolonged natural history of UM. Future multi-center studies incorporating molecular validation and diverse treatment modalities are needed to establish the prognostic utility of BAP1 across the full spectrum of UM disease.

Our findings elucidated a critical lncRNA MIAT/miR-4306/CXCR4 regulatory axis that modulated oxidative stress resistance and apoptosis in UVM. This axis represented a promising therapeutic target, and the developed oxidative stress-related gene signature may serve as a valuable prognostic tool for UVM patients.

Single-cell immune repertoire profiling of serial peripheral blood sampling revealed substantial in vivo proliferation and expansion of a stem cell memory population in the endogenous T cell therapy product that achieved a >79% predominance of total circulating T cells by 3 weeks post-infusion in this non-lymphodepleted recipient. Although the patient's disease ultimately progressed, these findings demonstrate safety and proof of concept for an IL-7 treatment regimen for expansion of adoptively transferred T cells in vivo and induced memory differentiation in a heavily pretreated patient with refractory solid malignancy.

These findings confirm that MBD4 is an important predisposing gene to uveal melanoma in the French population. This reinforces a strategy of broad patient screening given the therapeutic implications and the consequences of genetic counseling.

Loss of BAP1 expression in combination with immune cell infiltration in the tumor microenvironment is associated with an increased risk of mortality in uveal melanoma. Combined assessment of BAP1 and immune markers enables more accurate patient stratification and refinement of prognostic evaluation.

Furthermore, the anti-tumor effect of CM-Thy was validated through various mechanisms involved in tumor formation such as angiogenesis and vasculogenic mimicry. Interestingly, the results from visible light experiments conducted in vitro also substantiated the remarkable therapeutic efficacy of this system for refractive eye disorders while providing innovative ideas for cross-species biological interventions.
