Structural Features of Galectin-9 and Galectin-1 that Determine Distinct T cell Death Pathways

TL;DR: In this article, the authors defined structural features responsible for distinct activities of the tandem repeat Galectin-9 and dimeric galectin1 and created a series of bivalent constructs with galectins-9, 1, and 1 carbohydrate recognition domains connected by different peptide linkers, finding that the N-terminal carbohydrate recognition domain and linker peptide contributed to the potency of these constructs.

The Metabolic Mechanisms of Breast Cancer Metastasis.

TL;DR: The role of metabolism in the progression and metastasis of breast cancer is gradually being emphasized as mentioned in this paper, however, the regulatory mechanisms that conduce to cancer metastasis by metabolic reprogramming in breast cancer have not been expounded.
Journal ArticleDOI

BET protein targeting suppresses the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway in triple-negative breast cancer and elicits anti-tumor immune response

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that BET protein targeting represents a promising strategy to overcome tumor-reactive T cell exhaustion and improve anti-tumor immune responses, by reducing the PD-1/PD-L1 axis in triple-negative breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumors attenuating the mitochondrial activity in T cells escape from PD-1 blockade therapy

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the ‘bilateral tumor model’ was useful for stratifying tumors to investigate the mechanism of unresponsiveness and develop a strategy for proper combination therapy.

Understanding the Warburg Effect: The Metabolic Requirements of Cell Proliferation

TL;DR: It is proposed that the metabolism of cancer cells, and indeed all proliferating cells, is adapted to facilitate the uptake and incorporation of nutrients into the biomass needed to produce a new cell.

Interleukin-10 and the interleukin-10 receptor.

TL;DR: Findings that have advanced the understanding of IL-10 and its receptor are highlighted, as well as its in vivo function in health and disease.

The immune contexture in human tumours: impact on clinical outcome

TL;DR: In this Opinion article, the context-specific nature of infiltrating immune cells can affect the prognosis of patients is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accessories to the Crime: Functions of Cells Recruited to the Tumor Microenvironment

TL;DR: Most of the hallmarks of cancer are enabled and sustained to varying degrees through contributions from repertoires of stromal cell types and distinctive subcell types, which presents interesting new targets for anticancer therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for a tumoral immune resistance mechanism based on tryptophan degradation by indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase

TL;DR: It is shown that most human tumors constitutively express IDO, and that expression of IDO by immunogenic mouse tumor cells prevents their rejection by preimmunized mice, suggesting that the efficacy of therapeutic vaccination of cancer patients might be improved by concomitant administration of an IDO inhibitor.
