Development of PD-1/PD-L1 Pathway in Tumor Immune Microenvironment and Treatment for No... - 0 views

  • the lack of immunologic control is recognized as a hallmark of cancer currently
  • Programmed death-1 (PD-1) and its ligand PD-L1 play a key role in tumor immune escape and the formation of tumor microenvironment, closely related with tumor generation and development
  • Blockading the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway could reverse the tumor microenvironment and enhance the endogenous antitumor immune responses.

  • environmental factors, living habits, genetic mutations, dysfunction of the immune system and so on
  • special tumor immune microenvironment
  • cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CLTA-4), Programmed death-1 (PD-1) and its ligands PD-L1 (B7H1) and PD-L2 (B7-DC)
  • CTLA-4 regulates T cell activity in the early stage predominantly, and PD-1 mainly limits the activity of T-cell in the tumor microenvironment at later stage of tumor growth

Chemotherapy induces tumor immune evasion by upregulation of programmed cell ... - 0 views

  • upregulation of glycolysis in cancer cells, with subsequent exhaustion of glucose in the microenvironment, leading to the death of T cells from starvation
  • PD‐L1 expression promotes the production of interleukin 10, a cytokine involved in the death of activated T cells
  • PD‐L1 expression in tumor tissue might lead to T‐cell exhaustion and unresponsiveness

Update on Programmed Death-1 and Programmed Death-Ligand 1 Inhibition in the Treatment ... - 0 views

  • Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), the first immune checkpoint receptor to be clinically targeted, is exclusively expressed on the surface of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in lymphatic tissue and is involved in T-cell regulation, proliferation, and tolerance
  • programmed death-1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint inhibitor antibodies, which restores T-cell effector function and augments the host anti-tumor response by blocking the binding of either programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and/or PD-L2 to PD-1 receptors
  • lung cancer is the first and second cause of cancer mortality in men and women

Nivolumab for previously treated unresectable metastatic anal cancer (NCI9673): a multi... - 0 views

  • Patients received a median of six doses of nivolumab
  • four of the first 12 patients had partial responses
  • Nine (24% [95% CI 15–33]) of 37 patients achieved a response (seven partial responses and two complete responses
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • no treatment-related deaths
  • the most common adverse events were anaemia (26 [70%]), fatigue (25 [68%]), and rash
  • hypothyroidism
  • hypothyroidism
  • nivolumab-related autoimmune hypothyroidism, which resolved after a short course of corticosteroids
  • No grade 3 or 4 adverse events occurred
  • Nivolumab resulted in objective responses in 24% of patients with metastatic SCCA
  • Historically, doublet chemotherapy with cisplatin and fluorouracil has been the most common treatment for patients with metastatic SCCA
  • our results suggest that immune checkpoint blockade agents might extend overall survival beyond currently available therapies, especially if provided early in the disease treatment course
  • the dose of nivolumab we used differs from the 2016 recommendation of a fixed 240 mg every 2 weeks
  • 25% of patients develop distant metastases
  • most patients with localised SCCA are cured by chemoradiation
  • More than 90% of cases of SCCA are linked to prior infection with human papillomavirus (HPV)
  • Within tumour cells, HPV oncoproteins are immunogenic and can trigger an anti-tumour host immune response by recruitment of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes
  • Tumour cells express PD-L1 and, on binding its inhibitory receptor PD-1 on the surface of T cells, downregulate T-cell activation and thwart the local anti-tumour immune response
  • Nivolumab is a humanised monoclonal antibody against PD-1 that disrupts this interaction, enabling T-cell cytotoxicity. It has activity as a monotherapy in advanced solid cancers, such as head and neck cancer, melanoma, non-small-cell lung cancer, and renal cell carcinoma
  •  
    study finds nivolumab helpful in some patients with surgically unresectable or metastatic anal cancer.  The dose used was 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks.
