چکیده

Improving efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade for cancer can be facilitated by combining these agents with each other and/or with other conventional or targeted therapies. Interferon and innate immune signaling pathways in immune and tumor cells have emerged as intriguing determinants of response and resistance, often in complex and seemingly paradoxical ways.

Immunotherapy: a new treatment paradigm in bladder cancer

PURPOSE OF REVIEW T-cell checkpoint blockade has become a dynamic immunotherapy for bladder cancer. In 2016, atezolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, became the first new drug approved in metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) in over 30 years. In 2017, nivolumab was also approved for the same indication. This overview of checkpoint inhibitors in clinical trials focuses on novel immunothera...

Tumor Interferon Signaling Regulates a Multigenic Resistance Program to Immune Checkpoint Blockade

Therapeutic blocking of the PD1 pathway results in significant tumor responses, but resistance is common. We demonstrate that prolonged interferon signaling orchestrates PDL1-dependent and PDL1-independent resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and to combinations such as radiation plus anti-CTLA4. Persistent type II interferon signaling allows tumors to acquire STAT1-related epigenomic...

Distinct immunologic changes in vivo following combination versus individual PD-1 or CTLA-4 checkpoint blockade in human cancer

Therapies targeting T cell immune checkpoints such as CTLA4 and PD1/PDL1 axis have shown considerable promise in the therapy of human cancer. Combination therapy with dual immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) was recently shown to be highly active in melanoma. While signaling via both PD1 and CTLA4 is known to converge downstream and dampen T cell function, data comparing in vivo effects of blockad...

Lessons learned from the blockade of immune checkpoints in cancer immunotherapy.

The advent of immunotherapy, especially checkpoint inhibitor-based immunotherapy, has provided novel and powerful weapons against cancer. Because only a subset of cancer patients exhibit durable responses, further exploration of the mechanisms underlying the resistance to immunotherapy in the bulk of cancer patients is merited. Such efforts may help to identify which patients could benefit from...

Targeting immune checkpoints in breast cancer: an update of early results

The immune tumour microenvironment has been shown to play a crucial role in the development and progression of cancer. Expression of gene signatures, reflecting immune activation, and the presence of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes were associated with favourable outcomes in HER2-positive and triple-negative breast cancer. Recently, immunotherapy with immune checkpoint blockade induced long-las...
