Article Abstract

Tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells (TI-Tregs) elicit immunosuppressive effects in the tumor microenvironment (TME) leading to accelerated tumor growth and resistance to immunotherapies against solid tumors. Here, we demonstrate that poly-(ADP-ribose)-polymerase-11 (PARP11) is an essential regulator of immunosuppressive activities of TI-Tregs. Expression of PARP11 correlates with TI-Treg cell numbers and poor responses to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in human patients with cancer. Tumor-derived factors including adenosine and prostaglandin E2 induce PARP11 in TI-Tregs. Knockout of PARP11 in the cells of the TME or treatment of tumor-bearing mice with selective PARP11 inhibitor ITK7 inactivates TI-Tregs and reinvigorates anti-tumor immune responses. Accordingly, ITK7 decelerates tumor growth and significantly increases the efficacy of anti-tumor immunotherapies including ICB and adoptive transfer of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. These results characterize PARP11 as a key driver of TI-Treg activities and a major regulator of immunosuppressive TME and argue for targeting PARP11 to augment anti-cancer immunotherapies.

Cryptorchidism is a notorious innate malformation in children that always leads to oligospermatism or azoospermatism. Moreover, there is a relationship between oxidative stress and spermatogenesis dysfunction caused by cryptorchidism. Ferroptosis is associated with iron metabolism and oxidative stress as a novel form of cell death regulation, which is involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases.

Immunotherapy in clinical application faces numerous challenges pertaining to both effectiveness and safety. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) exhibit multifunctional characteristics by transferring ADP-ribose units to target proteins or nucleic acids. In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the biological function of PARPs in immune response.

The impact of genetic ancestry on the development of clonal hematopoiesis (CH) remains largely unexplored. Here, we compared CH in 136,401 participants from the Mexico City Prospective Study (MCPS) to 416,118 individuals from the UK Biobank (UKB) and observed CH to be significantly less common in MCPS compared to UKB (adjusted odds ratio = 0.59, 95% confidence interval (CI) = [0.

Article Synopsis
  • PRV infection in pigs poses serious health risks and understanding how it interacts with its host is crucial for developing treatments.
  • Researchers used CRISPR/Cas9 to create cells lacking the PARP11 gene and investigated its impact on PRV infection through various scientific methods.
  • The study found that knocking out PARP11 enhanced PRV infection by increasing viral gene expression and activating certain cellular pathways, suggesting PARP11's role as a potential target for anti-PRV therapies.
