IFNγ-induced PD-L1+MHC II+ macrophages and Tim-3+ tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells predict a response to anti-PD-1 therapy in tumor-bearing mice

Cancer Immunol Res. 2025 Aug 28. doi: 10.1158/2326-6066.CIR-24-0835. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT While immune checkpoint inhibitors have led to durable responses in various cancer types, a substantial proportion of patients do not respond to these interventions. To uncover potential factors associated with a positive response to immunotherapy, we used a bilateral tumor model using … Read more

Evaluation of proton minibeam radiation therapy on anti-tumor immune responses in a rat model of glioblastoma

Cancer Immunol Res. 2025 Aug 20. doi: 10.1158/2326-6066.CIR-24-0902. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Treating radioresistant tumors like glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains a challenge exacerbated by their immunosuppressive nature. Radiation therapy has an immunomodulatory role, both immunosuppressive and immunostimulatory. The nature of the effects depends on the total dose, dose per fraction, dose delivery method and … Read more

Reprogramming CD8+ T-cell branched N-glycosylation limits exhaustion, enhancing cytotoxicity and tumor killing

Cancer Immunol Res. 2025 Aug 19. doi: 10.1158/2326-6066.CIR-25-0313. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT T-cell therapies have transformed cancer treatment. While surface glycans have been shown to play critical roles in regulating T-cell development and function, whether and how the glycome influences T cell-mediated tumor immunity remains an area of active investigation. In this study, we … Read more

Tissue-specific immunosuppressive and proliferating macrophages fuel early metastatic progression of human colorectal cancer to liver

Cancer Immunol Res. 2025 Aug 19. doi: 10.1158/2326-6066.CIR-25-0031. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Early synchronous colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) represents a clinical condition characterized by the simultaneous presence of primary colorectal cancer (CRC) and metastatic liver lesions. In this study, we characterized the tissue-specific transcriptomes, phenotypes, and functional relevance of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) within the … Read more

A Dual Role for NKG7 in T-cell Cytotoxicity and Longevity

Cancer Immunol Res. 2025 Aug 18:OF1-OF6. doi: 10.1158/2326-6066.CIR-25-0384. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT The effectiveness of T cell-based immunotherapy depends on durable T-cell responses that can efficiently eliminate tumor cells. NKG7 was discovered three decades ago as a protein associated with lytic granules. However, only studies published over the past 5 years have contributed substantially … Read more

Neoadjuvant immunotherapy promotes the formation of mature tertiary lymphoid structures in a remodeled pancreatic tumor microenvironment

Cancer Immunol Res. 2025 Aug 15. doi: 10.1158/2326-6066.CIR-25-0387. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a rapidly progressing cancer that responds poorly to immunotherapies. Intratumoral tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) have been associated with rare long-term PDAC survivors, but the role of TLS in PDAC and their spatial relationships within the context of the … Read more

Unlocking the Immune Response in ALK-Rearranged Lung Adenocarcinoma

Cancer Immunol Res. 2025 Aug 8:OF1-OF2. doi: 10.1158/2326-6066.CIR-25-0624. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Anaplastic lymphoma kinase-rearranged lung adenocarcinoma (ALK+ LUAD) is currently considered an immune-resistant disease, yet underlying biological mechanisms are largely unknown. In this issue, Arai and colleagues analyzed the tumor microenvironment (TME) in ALK+ LUADs, identifying a myeloid cell-dominant immunosuppressive TME, primarily driven … Read more

Spatial Analysis of the Tumor Microenvironment in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Reveals Clinically Relevant Cell Interactions and Recurrent Cellular Neighborhoods

Cancer Immunol Res. 2025 Aug 7. doi: 10.1158/2326-6066.CIR-24-1163. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Recent studies have explored the composition of tumor microenvironment (TME) in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) However, cell-to-cell interactions, along with the spatial organization of DLBCL TME and their impact on patient outcomes, have remained poorly characterized. We ap-plied multiplexed immunofluorescence, cell … Read more

High levels of endogenous Omega-3 Fatty Acids promote dendritic-cell antigen presentation and improve dendritic cell-based cancer vaccine efficacy in mice

Cancer Immunol Res. 2025 Aug 4. doi: 10.1158/2326-6066.CIR-24-0927. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Antigen presentation by dendritic cells (DCs) is crucial in activating T-cells. DCs capture, process, and present antigens to T-cells, making them attractive vaccine vehicles. However, most DC cancer vaccines have had limited clinical efficacy, suggesting a need to increase their potency. We … Read more

Targeting Myeloid Trem2 Reprograms the Immunosuppressive Niche and Potentiates Checkpoint Immunotherapy in NASH-Driven Hepatocarcinogenesis

Cancer Immunol Res. 2025 Aug 1. doi: 10.1158/2326-6066.CIR-24-1088. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Macrophages expressing Trem2 play a pivotal role in promoting non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH; also known as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, MASH) progression to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Despite the widespread clinical use of anti-PD1 immune checkpoint blockade, its therapeutic efficacy in NASH-driven HCC remains suboptimal. … Read more
