概括
腺素性囊性癌 (ACC) 是免疫学上冷的,由于β-2-微型血球蛋白 (B2M) /人类白细胞抗原 (HLA) 的低I类表达. 刺痛激动剂可以恢复B2M/HLA表达,为ACC提供潜在的新免疫疗法.
科学领域:

- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
- 癌症基因组学 癌症基因组学
背景情况:
- 腺状囊性癌 (ACC) 对当前的全身疗法反应不佳.
- 复发或转移的ACC具有有限的有效治疗选择,导致高死亡率.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究ACC瘤和转移的免疫场景.
- 确定导致ACC对免疫疗法的耐药性的机制.
- 探索针对ACC的新型治疗策略.
主要方法:
- 多重免疫光学 (mIF) 和单细胞RNA测序 (scRNA-seq) 用于分析瘤免疫微环境.
- 空间转录组学用于映射转移性病变中的基因表达.

- 在ACC患者中,STING激动剂 (dazostinag) 加上 pembrolizumab 的第一阶段临床研究.
主要成果:
- ACC瘤在免疫学上是"冷"的,T淋巴细胞透率低,PD-L1表达率低.
- 一个引人注目的发现是,在ACC中,β-2-微型球蛋白 (B2M) 和人类白细胞抗原 (HLA) 的I类表达非常低.

Receptor Downregulation in MVBs
2.0K
Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are mature endosomes that sort ubiquitinated proteins and then fuse with lysosomes to degrade the sorted proteins. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor (EGFR) form a complex that can be internalized through endocytosis, sorted into an MVB, and later degraded.
The EGFR can initiate signaling pathways that lead to cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Overexpression of EGFR stimulates cells to proliferate. Excessive EGFR...

Cadherins in Tissue Organization
3.5K
The cadherins are a superfamily of cell adhesion molecules comprising over 180 variants, with specific tissues expressing a particular combination of cadherin types. Cadherins generally exhibit homophilic binding; i.e., cadherins on one cell bind to cadherins of the same or closely related type on another cell. Thus, cells of the same type have a specific affinity to bind to each other and sort themselves into clusters to form tissues.

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal
1.8K
Notch signaling was first discovered in Drosophila melanogaster, where it is involved in cell lineage differentiation. Notch signaling regulates the maintenance and differentiation of intestinal stem cells or ISCs by controlling the expression of atonal homolog 1 or Atoh1. Atoh1 directs cells to differentiate into secretory cells.
Direct cell-to-cell contact is needed for the activation of Notch signaling. The signal is initiated when a notch ligand binds to a receptor on an adjacent cell, also...
