Article Abstract

Aberrant glycosylation, especially sialylation, on cell surface is often associated with cancer progression and immunosuppression. Over-sialylation of stage-specific embryonic antigen-4 (SSEA-4) to generate disialylGb5 (DSGb5) was reported to trigger Siglec-7 recognition and suppress NK-mediated target killing. In this study, efficient chemo-enzymatic and programmable one-pot methods were explored for the synthesis of DSGb5 and related sialosides for assembly of glycan microarrays and evaluation of binding specificity toward Siglecs-7, 9, 10, and 15 associated with immune checkpoint inhibition. The result showed weak binding of DSGb5 to these Siglecs; however, a truncated glycolyl glycan was identified to bind Siglec-10 strongly with a dissociation constant of 50 nM and exhibited a significant inhibition of Siglec-10 interacting with breast cancer cells.

Immune checkpoint therapy has demonstrated significant potential in the treatment of various solid tumors. Among these, tumor-induced immunosuppression mediated by programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) represents a critical checkpoint. PD-1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors have been proven to exhibit substantial efficacy in solid tumors such as melanoma and bladder cancer.

TOX-induced lnc-SUMF2-8 compromises antitumor function and anti-PD-1 response of CD8 T cells via lysosome-dependent degradation of TCF-1.

The reduction of TCF-1 during CD8 T cell exhaustion leads to attenuated antitumor activity and diminished responsiveness to immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, how TCF-1 is downregulated remains unclear. Here, we showed that during CD8 T cell exhaustion, lnc-SUMF2-8, induced by transcription factor TOX, can bind to cytosolic TCF-1, and direct it to the lysosome for degradation.

Parasitic infections of the central nervous system (CNS) represent a considerable health burden in low- and middle-income countries. During chronic disease, parasites modulate host immunity to ensure long-term persistence while limiting collateral tissue damage. A key feature of this immune remodeling is the progressive T-cell dysfunction that may culminate in T-cell exhaustion, characterized by increased expression of inhibitory receptors (TIM-3, LAG-3, KLRG1), checkpoint molecules (PD-1, PD-L1), suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS1), and arginase-1.

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a heterogeneous group of rare malignant tumors arising from mesenchymal tissues, with extremity and superficial trunk STS (eSTS) comprising the majority of cases. The management of localized eSTS requires a multidisciplinary approach to optimize oncologic and functional outcomes. This review outlines the natural history, diagnostic workup, and treatment principles for localized eSTS, emphasizing the role of histology-specific considerations in guiding management strategies.

Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized cancer treatment by enabling comprehensive cancer genomic profiling (CGP) to guide genotype-directed therapies. While several prospective trials have demonstrated varying outcomes with CGP in patients with advanced solid tumors, its clinical utility in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains to be evaluated.

Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study of CGP in our hospital between September 2019 and March 2024.
