Article Abstract
(1) : The immune microenvironment plays an important role in carcinogenesis and has prognostic potential in many types of cancer. In this study we assess the prognostic character of tumor-infiltrating immune cells CD4, CD8 and CD56 in resectable oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC); (2) : We have evaluated the densities of CD4, CD8 and CD56 in two distinct compartments, intratumor and invasion front, in 90 patients with OSCC; (3) : Significant differences were found between the tumor compartments for the CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes. An improved outcome (OS) was seen in patients with high densities of intratumor CD8 lymphocytes ( = 0.0086), CD8 lymphocytes at the front of invasion ( = 0.0011) and for intratumor CD56 cells ( = 0.0016). Multivariate analysis confirmed the independent prognostic role of CD8 at the front of invasion (OR = 3.75, CI95% 1.17-12.35, = 0.026) and for intratumor CD56 cells (OR = 3.669, CI95% 1.09-15.37, = 0.035); (4) : Tumor-infiltrating CD8 lymphocytes at the front of invasion and CD56 in the intratumor compartment display predictive traits in OSCC. A reach immune infiltration with these types of cells is associated with an improved patient outcome.

Background: While highly efficacious for numerous cancers, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can cause unpredictable and potentially severe immune-related adverse events (irAEs), underscoring the need to understand irAE biology.
Methods: We used a multidimensional approach incorporating single-cell RNA sequencing, mass cytometry, multiplex cytokine assay, and antinuclear antibody (ANA) profiling to characterize the peripheral immune landscape of patients receiving ICI therapy according to irAE development.
Results: Analysis of 162 patients revealed that individuals who developed clinically significant irAEs exhibited a baseline proinflammatory, autoimmune-like state characterized by a significantly higher abundance of CD57 T and natural killer (NK) T cells, plasmablasts, proliferating and activated CXCR3 lymphocytes, CD8 effector and terminal effector memory T cells, along with reduced NK cells and elevated plasma ANA levels.

Background: Improving the efficacy of anti-programmed death 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy remains a major challenge for cancer immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Gut microbial metabolites can influence immunotherapy efficacy.
Methods: ELISA was used to compare the serum 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) level in patients with NSCLC.

The pivotal role of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) killing of target cells in vivo continues to be underscored by emerging research. CTLs are antigen-specific effector CD8 + T lymphocytes that serve as adaptive defenders against a myriad of threats, including viral infections, cancerous cells, and other pathogenic invaders. In vivo CTL killing assays contemplate the interaction of effector and target cells in the context of a proper microenvironment, making the analysis biologically more relevant than in vitro assays.

(phosphatidylserine synthase 1) encodes an enzyme that facilitates production of phosphatidylserine (PS), which mediates a global immunosuppressive signal. Here, based on in vivo CRISPR screen, we identified PTDSS1 as a target to improve anti-PD-1 therapy. Depletion of in tumor cells increased expression of interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-regulated genes, including , , , and , even in the absence of IFN-γ stimulation in vitro.

Regulatory T cells are essential for immune homeostasis. While CD4 T cells are well characterized, CD8 T cells remain less understood and are primarily observed in pathological or experimental contexts. Here, we identify a naturally occurring CD8 regulatory precursor T cell at the steady state, defined by a CD8HLA-DRCD27 phenotype and a transcriptome resembling CD4 T cells.
