    Oncolytic adenovirus H101 enhances the anti-tumor effects of PD-1 blockade via CD47 downregulation in tumor cells

    CHENXIAO QIAO1, YIPENG XU2, YEDIE HE2, ZHIJIAN CAI1,*, HUA WANG2,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.33, No.5, pp. 1161-1172, 2025, DOI:10.32604/or.2024.055746 - 18 April 2025

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the anti-tumor effects of an E1B55KD-deleted oncolytic adenovirus, H101, in combination with a humanized anti-PD-1 (Programmed cell death protein 1) monoclonal antibody, Camrelizumab. Methods: Anti-tumor efficacy of intratumoral injection of H101 or/and intraperitoneal injection of Camrelizumab were evaluated in an immune system humanized NOD Prkdcscid Il2rg-/- mice subcutaneous (S.C.) tumor model, established with human glioblastoma of unknown origin cell line U87-MG, and human bladder cancer cell line T24 and YTS-1. The mechanism by which H101 induced anti-tumor immunity were also investigated. Results: Combining H101 with Camrelizumab demonstrated more potent anti-tumor effects than monotherapy in… More >

    SHUANG CHEN1,2,#, XUEMEI DENG2,#, XINGTING HE2, KEWEI XIANG2, GUIHONG CHEN2, HONGRU YANG2,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.33, No.3, pp. 687-694, 2025, DOI:10.32604/or.2024.052133 - 28 February 2025

    Abstract Background: Previous experiments have demonstrated that hypofractionated radiation therapy (HFRT), low-dose radiation therapy (LDRT), and combined anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (αPD-1) can enhance the abscopal effect. Combined with the phenomenon of low prognosis in patients with breast cancer lung metastasis, our study establishes a mouse model and changes the irradiation regimen of LDRT to explore its preventive effect on breast cancer lung metastasis. Methods: The breast cancer subcutaneous graft tumor model was developed. Two-lung prophylactic LDRT was performed prior to the onset of lung metastases, in combination with HFRT (8 Gy, 3f), and αPD-1… More >

    Abstract Background: Immune checkpoint ligand-receptor interactions appear to be associated with multiple myeloma (MM) progression. Simultaneously, previous studies showed the possibility of PD-1 and TIM-3 expression on T cells upon stimulation with common γ-chain family cytokines in vitro and during homeostatic proliferation. The aim of the present work was to study the impact of homeostatic proliferation on the expansion of certain T cell subsets up-regulating PD-1 and TIM-3 checkpoint molecules. Methods: The expression of CD25, CD122, CD127 common γ-chain cytokine receptors, phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription-5 (pSTAT5) and eomesodermin (EOMES) was comparatively assessed with flow… More >

    SHUANGSHUANG ZENG1,2, XI CHEN1,2, QIAOLI YI1,2, ABHIMANYU THAKUR3, HUI YANG4,*, YUANLIANG YAN1,2, SHAO LIU1,2,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.32, No.2, pp. 261-272, 2024, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.042345 - 28 December 2023

    Abstract Finding biomarkers for immunotherapy is an urgent issue in cancer treatment. Cellular retinoic acid-binding protein 2 (CRABP2) is a controversial factor in the occurrence and development of human tumors. However, there is limited research on the relationship between CRABP2 and immunotherapy response. This study found that negative correlations of CRABP2 and immune checkpoint markers (PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4) were observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) and testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT). In particular, in SKCM patients who were treated with PD-1 inhibitors, high levels of CRABP2 predicted poor… More >

    Abstract As a common tumor of the urinary system, the morbidity and mortality related to renal carcinoma, are increasing annually. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) is the most common subtype of renal cell carcinoma, accounting for approximately 75% of the total number of patients with renal cell carcinoma. Currently, the clinical treatment of ccRCC involves targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and a combination of the two. In immunotherapy, PD-1/PD-L1 blocking of activated T cells to kill cancer cells is the most common treatment. However, as treatment progresses, some patients gradually develop resistance to immunotherapy. Meanwhile, other patients More > Graphic Abstract

    Abstract Infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), including HPV-16 and HPV-18, is the main cause of malignancies, such as cervical cancer. Viral oncoproteins encoded by HPV are expressed in HPV-positive cancers and associated with the early cancer stages and the transformation of normal cells. The signaling pathways involved in the transformation of normal cells to cancerous form and the subsequently expressed programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) on the surface of the transformed cells lead to a disruption in recognition of tumor cells by the immune cell system, including T lymphocytes and dendritic cells which lead to… More > Graphic Abstract

    PD-1 Relevant Genes Predict the Prognosis of Breast Cancer and Their Prediction Effect in Tumor Response to Immunotherapy

    Yu Xiao1,2,#, Jianping Jiang3,#, Yan Chen1,4, Yi Huang1, Changyuan Wei1,*

    Oncologie, Vol.24, No.4, pp. 729-742, 2022, DOI:10.32604/oncologie.2022.026118 - 31 December 2022

    Abstract Background: Immunotherapy is becoming a powerful approach in the treatment of breast cancer. However, high response rates in the majority of breast cancer patients have yet to be achieved. Materials and Methods: Based on public data sources, we identified 22 genes that are correlated with PD-1 expression as well as differentially expressed between tumor tissues and normal tissues, and high expression of all the key genes was correlated with a superior survival outcome. Using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression model, a risk score was constructed. Results: A multivariate Cox analysis showed that the… More >

    Canadian Journal of Urology, Vol.28, No.3, pp. 10719-10724, 2021

    Abstract Introduction: Controversy regarding the prognostic and/or predictive role of PD-1 and PD-L1 expression for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) could partly be explained by inconsistencies in the immunohistochemistry (IHC) methodology. The objective is to standardize the methodology for routine evaluation of PD-1 and PD-L1 expression in UTUC patients.
    Materials and methods: Twenty-two cases treated with radical nephroureterectomy between 1996 and 2015 at 11 French hospitals were randomly selected to compare different methodologies for evaluation of PD-1 and PD-L1 expression. IHC was carried out on whole tissue sections and 0.6 mm- or 2 mm-core tissue micro-arrays (TMAs) using… More >

    High Blood miR-802 Is Associated With Poor Prognosis in HCC Patients by Regulating DNA Damage Response 1 (REDD1)-Mediated Function of T Cells

    Chao Jiang*, Xueyan Liu, Meng Wang*, Guoyue Lv*, Guangyi Wang*

    Oncology Research, Vol.27, No.9, pp. 1025-1034, 2019, DOI:10.3727/096504018X15456687424096

    Abstract miR-802 has been reported to be dysregulated in multiple tumors and contribute to tumor progression. However, its role in HCC was still largely unknown. The aim of this study is to investigate the function and mechanism of miR-802 in HCC progression. The results showed that miR-802 was upregulated in the peripheral blood and tumor tissue of HCC patients, and high levels of blood miR-802 predicted poor prognosis. miR-802 had no effect on the proliferation and migration of HCC cell lines. Interestingly, the levels of CD8/CD28 and regulated in development and DNA damage response 1 (REDD1) More >

    Targeting CD47 Enhances the Efficacy of Anti-PD-1 and CTLA-4 in an Esophageal Squamous Cell Cancer Preclinical Model

    Hua Tao, Pudong Qian, Feijiang Wang, Hongliang Yu, Yesong Guo

    Oncology Research, Vol.25, No.9, pp. 1579-1587, 2017, DOI:10.3727/096504017X14900505020895

    Abstract Esophageal squamous cell cancer is a highly aggressive cancer with a dismal 5-year survival rate. CD47 is a cell transmembrane protein that is involved in cell apoptosis, proliferation, adhesion, migration, and antigen presentation in the immune system. By interacting with signal regulatory protein-a expressed in antigenpresenting cells (APCs), CD47 acts as an antiphagocytic mechanism to inhibit APC-dependent antigen presentation. Overexpression of CD47 was found in various types of cancer. However, its role in esophageal squamous cell cancer is not yet clear. Anti-CD47 is an antagonist of CD47 signaling pathways by competing with its ligand. In… More >
