Exploring the Immunoregulatory Potential of Serpinb9 in Transplant Tolerance (118-ABC, Level 1) - May 6, 2024 - Abstract #ATC2024ATC_136; It aims to offer insights into its discovery, structure, functions, distribution, its association with various diseases, and the potential of nanoparticle-based therapies targeting Sb9. For deeper insights, we established PI-9 conditional knockout mice by crossbreeding inducible PI-9 RNA interference (PI-9rtTA) transgenic mice with macrophage-specific LyzM-Cre mice, resulting in macrophage-specific PI-9 knockouts upon doxycycline administration (PI-9rtTA

These findings suggest that SerpinB9 contributes to the immune escape of testicular germ cell tumors. Targeting therapy for SerpinB9 might therefore be useful in immunotherapy for testicular germ cell tumors resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Consequently, specific granzyme B inhibitors have been developed as new therapeutic approaches. Beyond applications in wound healing, other autoimmune and/or chronic inflammatory conditions related to exacerbated granzyme B activity may also benefit from the development of these inhibitors.
- |||||||||| T cell killing is facilitated by multiple cytotoxic pathways (Hall C) - Oct 6, 2022 - Abstract #SITC2022SITC_739;
We hypothesize that Granzyme A facilitates CAR T killing in the absence of Granzyme B, implying redundancy in granzyme expression. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the main mechanisms associated with CAR T cell-mediated killing.

• We found the percentages of CD8GranzymeB T cells, CD8Perforin T cells, and CD8IFN-γ T cells in CD3CD8T cells were higher in TAK patients. • The proportion of CD8T cells in lymphocytes and the ratio of CD8GranzymeB T cells/CD8 T cells were significantly lower in TAK patients after treatment.

Moreover, cytosolic granzyme B inhibitor Serpinb9a prevented caspase-3 processing and mast cell death in a granzyme B-dependent manner. Together, our findings demonstrate that cytosolic serpins provide an inhibitory shield preventing granule protease-induced mast cell apoptosis, and that the granzyme B-Serpinb9a-caspase-3 axis is critical in mast cell survival and could be targeted in the context of allergic diseases.

Moreover, B7-H3Bi-Ab-armed T cells secreted more IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-2, and Granzyme B and expressed higher levels of activating marker CD69 compared to unarmed T cells. In conclusion, B7-H3Bi-Ab enhances the ability of T cells to kill hematologic tumor cells, and B7-H3 may serve as a novel target for immunotherapy against hematologic malignancy.

Consequently, significantly lower tumor sizes and prolonged survival time were detected in F4d and F4e subgroups compared to control after challenging mice with 4T1 cells. Accordingly, these results demonstrated that PBMCs pulsed F4 peptide-based vaccine could induce a protective immune response while it is a simple and less expensive vaccine.

In addition, we observed the presence of IFN-γ-, Granzyme B- and Perforin-producing lymphocytes along with modifications in the amount of CD11b+Ly6Cint/lowLy6G+ granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (G-MDSCs) and CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells in the lungs and tumors of mice. In summary, we showed that the VELs represent a potent new class of cancer immunotherapy and propose the application of the VEL vaccine concept as a true alternative to currently available vaccine platforms.

Thus, during pregnancy, glycodelin modulates the function and the number of cytotoxic NK cells that pose a deleterious effect on the fetus, a semi-allograft. This study provides insights into the mechanism of the regulatory effect of glycodelin on NK cells and could possibly be exploited for the management of miscarriages.

Journal: Direct Tumor Killing and Immunotherapy through Anti-SerpinB9 Therapy. (Pubmed Central) - May 20, 2021 The therapeutic utility of Sb9 inhibition was demonstrated by the control of tumor growth, resulting in increased survival times in mice. Our studies describe a molecular target that permits a combination of tumor ablation, interference within the TME, and immunotherapy in one potential modality.

Biomarker, Clinical, Review, Journal, Checkpoint inhibition, PD(L)-1 Biomarker, IO biomarker: Case Report: Simultaneous Hyperprogression and Fulminant Myocarditis in a Patient With Advanced Melanoma Following Treatment With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy. (Pubmed Central) - May 20, 2021 We discuss the possibility that heightened pro-inflammatory T cell activity (rather than tumor-directed cytolytic activity) was induced by anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4, which could have provoked both rapid tumor resistance mechanisms and myocarditis. This case highlights the fact that the mere presence of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) does not necessarily correlate to ICI response and that additional functional markers are necessary to differentiate between inflammatory and cytolytic CD8 TILs.
- |||||||||| [VIRTUAL] Screening immunotherapy cancer drugs in a scalable, physiologically relevant 3D in vitro tumor microenvironment model () - May 19, 2021 - Abstract #IMMUNOLOGY2021IMMUNOLOGY_1987;
Our results show combination treatment with cytokines and anti-PD-1 antibody led to higher secretion of IL-6/TNFa/IFNγ/GM-CSF, reduced tumor size, increased infiltration of the model by CD8+ T cells, stronger expression of Granzyme B resulting in enhanced tumor apoptosis and killing. This confirms our novel 3D in vitro TME model is a promising tool for studying cell-cell interactions and allows for HCS of novel candidates for anti-cancer drugs.
- |||||||||| [VIRTUAL] Defects in the CD8+ T cell response to arthritogenic alphaviruses () - May 19, 2021 - Abstract #IMMUNOLOGY2021IMMUNOLOGY_1902;
Finally, intravital imaging revealed that while both RRV and LCMV infection recruit CD8+ T cells and retain them in an antigen specific manner near infected cells, CD8+ T cells appear to have less contact with RRV than LCMV-infected cells. Identification of a specific defect in the CD8+ T cell response to arthritogenic alphaviruses would increase our understanding of viral immune evasion and provide a target for therapy of these debilitating infections.

Heatmaps demonstrate the detection of checkpoint proteins in the conditioned media collected from human tumor cell lines and stimulated PBMCs. In summary, our results demonstrate that these two multiplex immunoassays we developed are useful research tools for the simultaneous quantitation of circulating immune checkpoint proteins, as well as for its potential application in biomarker discovery and translational research.
