Article Abstract

Tumor immunotherapy is an important tool in oncology treatment. However, only a small percentage of patients have an effective immune response to tumor immunotherapy due to the poor infiltration of pro-inflammatory immune cells in immune "cold" tumors and an immunosuppressive network in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Ferroptosis has been widely used as a novel strategy to enhance tumor immunotherapy. Herein, manganese molybdate nanoparticles (MnMoOx NPs) depleted the highly expressed glutathione (GSH) in tumors and inhibited glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) expression, thus triggering ferroptosis, inducing immune cell death (ICD), further releasing damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), and enhancing tumor immunotherapy. Furthermore, MnMoOx NPs can efficiently suppress tumors, promote the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs), infiltrate T cells, and reverse the immunosuppressive microenvironment, making the tumor an immune "hot" tumor. Combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) (α-PD-L1) further enhanced the anti-tumor effect and inhibited metastases as well. The work provides a new idea for the development of nonferrous inducers of ferroptosis to enhance cancer immunotherapy.

Immunotherapy, including immune checkpoint blockade, CART cells and bispecific antibodies have resulted in dramatic improvements in outcomes for patients with hematological malignancies, demonstrating the unique potency of the immune system in targeting malignant cells. The development of cancer vaccines aims to evoke an activated effector cell population and a memory response to provide long term immune surveillance to protect from relapse. Developing a potent cancer vaccine relies on identifying appropriate antigen targets, enhancing antigen presentation, and overcoming the immune suppressive milieu of the micro-environment.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant disease in which clonal plasma cells proliferate abnormally. In patients with MM, the number and function of NK cells are suppressed, resulting in reduced immune surveillance and clearance of myeloma cells. Restoring or enhancing the killing effect of NK cells on myeloma cells is an important strategy for MM immunotherapy.

Plasma cell myeloma (multiple myeloma) is a blood cancer characterized by the clonal proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow. Treatment strategies evolve year by year, new drugs getting Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved each year. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapies are an advanced form of immunotherapy that engineer T cells to recognize and destroy cancer cells.

With upfront use of triplet- and quadruplet-based regimens coupled with autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) and maintenance lenalidomide, a high proportion of multiple myeloma (MM) patients are achieving deep and durable responses. Yet, myeloma invariably relapses, with refractoriness to one or more drugs at first relapse. This therapeutic gap has been partially filled by T-cell engager (TCE) therapies that have demonstrated remarkable response rates and prolonged remissions in heavily pretreated patients with MM, providing off-the-shelf immunotherapy options leading to the U.

Precursor plasma cell disorders include monoclonal gammopathy of undermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). These conditions carry a variable risk of progression to symptomatic myeloma and there are ongoing efforts to improve risk stratification to identify patients that are at highest risk of progression. Advanced imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosis and monitoring, and more sensitive tools to measure serum monoclonal proteins and circulating tumor cells are being developed.
