RESUMO
Hyperpolarization stands out as a technique capable of significantly enhancing the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP), among various hyperpolarization methods, has gained prominence for its efficacy in real-time monitoring of metabolism and physiology. By administering a hyperpolarized substrate through dissolution DNP (dDNP), the biodistribution and metabolic changes of the DNP agent can be visualized spatiotemporally. This approach proves to be a distinctive and invaluable tool for non-invasively studying cellular metabolism in vivo, particularly in animal models. Biomarkers play a pivotal role in influencing the growth and metastasis of tumor cells by closely interacting with them, and accordingly detecting pathological alterations of these biomarkers is crucial for disease diagnosis and therapy. In recent years, a range of hyperpolarized DNP molecular bioresponsive agents utilizing various nuclei, such as 13C, 15N, 31P, 89Y, etc., have been developed. In this context, we explore how these magnetic resonance signals of nuclear spins enhanced by DNP respond to biomarkers, including pH, metal ions, enzymes, or redox processes. This review aims to offer insights into the design principles of responsive DNP agents, target selection, and the mechanisms of action for imaging. Such discussions aim to propel the future development and application of DNP-based biomedical imaging agents.
RESUMO
Since its initial report in 2015, CD47 has garnered significant attention as an innate immune checkpoint, raising expectations to become the next "PD-1." The optimistic early stages of clinical development spurred a flurry of licensing deals for CD47-targeted molecules and company mergers or acquisitions for related assets. However, a series of setbacks unfolded recently, starting with the July 2023 announcement of discontinuing the phase 3 ENHANCE study on Magrolimab plus Azacitidine for higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Subsequently, in August 2023, the termination of the ASPEN-02 program, assessing Evorpacept in combination with Azacitidine in MDS patients, was disclosed due to insufficient improvement compared to Azacitidine alone. These setbacks have cast doubt on the feasibility of targeting CD47 in the industry. In this review, we delve into the challenges of developing CD47-SIRPα-targeted drugs, analyze factors contributing to the mentioned setbacks, discuss future perspectives, and explore potential solutions for enhancing CD47-SIRPα-targeted drug development.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the factors affecting overall survival (OS) of adult patients with core-binding factor acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML) and establish a prediction model. METHODS: A total of 216 newly diagnosed patients with CBF-AML in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 2015 to July 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The 216 CBF-AML patients were divided into the training and the validation cohort at 7â¶3 ratio. The Cox regression model was used to analyze the clinical factors affecting OS. Stepwise regression was used to establish the optimal model and the nomogram. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the model performance. RESULTS: Age(≥55 years old), peripheral blood blast(≥80%), fusion gene (AML1-ETO), KIT mutations were identified as independent adverse factors for OS. The area under the ROC curve at 3-year was 0.772 and 0.722 in the training cohort and validation cohort, respectively. The predicted value of the calibration curve is in good agreement with the measured value. DCA shows that this model performs better than a single factor. CONCLUSION: This prediction model is simple and feasible, and can effectively predict the OS of CBF-AML, and provide a basis for treatment decision.

BACKGROUND: Sovleplenib, a novel spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) inhibitor, showed promising safety and activity in patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia in a phase 1b/2 trial. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sovleplenib in patients with chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia. METHODS: This randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial (ESLIM-01) was done in 34 clinical centres in China. Eligible patients, aged 18-75 years, had chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1, and received one or more previous treatments. Patients were randomly assigned (2:1) to receive oral sovleplenib or placebo, 300 mg once daily, for 24 weeks. Randomisation was stratified by baseline platelet counts, previous splenectomy, and concomitant treatment for anti-immune thrombocytopenia at baseline. The primary endpoint was durable response rate (proportion of patients with a platelet count of ≥50â×â109/L on at least four of six scheduled visits between weeks 14 and 24, not affected by rescue treatment) assessed by intention-to-treat. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05029635, and the extension, open-label phase is ongoing. FINDINGS: Between Sept 29, 2021, and Dec 31, 2022, 188 patients were randomly assigned to receive sovleplenib (n=126) or placebo (n=62). 124 (66%) were female, 64 (34%) were male, and all were of Asian ethnicity. Median previous lines of immune thrombocytopenia therapy were 4·0, and 134 (71%) of 188 patients had received previous thrombopoietin or thrombopoietin receptor agonist. The primary endpoint was met; durable response rate was 48% (61/126) with sovleplenib compared with zero with placebo (difference 48% [95% CI 40-57]; p<0·0001). The median time to response was 8 days with sovleplenib compared with 30 days with placebo. 125 (99%) of 126 patients in the sovleplenib group and 53 (85%) of 62 in the placebo group reported treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), and most events were mild or moderate. Frequent TEAEs of grade 3 or higher for sovleplenib versus placebo were platelet count decreased (7% [9/126] vs 10% [6/62]), neutrophil count decreased (3% [4/126] vs 0% [0/62]), and hypertension (3% [4/126] vs 0% [0/62]). Incidences of serious TEAEs were 21% (26/126) in the sovleplenib group and 18% (11/62) in the placebo group. There were no deaths in the study. INTERPRETATION: Sovleplenib showed a clinically meaningful sustained platelet response in patients with chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia, with a tolerable safety profile and improvement in quality of life. Sovleplenib could be a potential treatment option for patients with immune thrombocytopenia who received one or more previous therapy.

We report the generation of a novel anti-LAG-3/TIGIT bispecific IgG4 antibody, ZGGS15, and evaluated its anti-tumor efficacy in mouse models as monotherapy or in combination with a PD-1 antibody. ZGGS15 exhibited strong affinities for human LAG-3 and TIGIT, with KDs of 3.05 nM and 2.65 nM, respectively. ZGGS15 has EC50s of 0.69 nM and 1.87 nM for binding to human LAG-3 and TIGIT on CHO-K1 cells, respectively. ZGGS15 competitively inhibited the binding of LAG-3 to MHC-II (IC50 = 0.77 nM) and the binding of TIGIT to CD155 (IC50 = 0.24 nM). ZGGS15 does not induce ADCC, CDC, or obvious cytokine production. In vivo results showed that ZGGS15 had better anti-tumor inhibition than single anti-LAG-3 or anti-TIGIT agents and demonstrated a synergistic effect when combined with nivolumab, with a significantly higher tumor growth inhibition of 95.80% (p = 0.001). The tumor volume inhibition rate for ZGGS15 at 2 mg/kg was 69.70%, and for ZGGS15 at 5 mg/kg plus nivolumab at 1 mg/kg, it was 94.03% (p < 0.001). Our data reveal that ZGGS15 exhibits potent anti-tumor efficacy without eliciting ADCC or CDC or causing cytokine production, therefore having a safe profile.

INTRODUCTION: At the 65th American Society of Hematology (ASH) 2023 Annual Meeting, the latest advancements in CD20×CD3 BsAbs for B-cell lymphoma (BCL) were highlighted, particularly in relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) and R/R diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). AREAS COVERED: This summary highlights some of the major studies on CD20×CD3 BsAbs for BCL. EXPERT OPINION/COMMENTARY: CD20×CD3 is the most widely studied BsAb, with promising results in patients with R/R DLBCL and R/R FL ≥ two prior lines of systemic therapy. Trials with the first line of B-cell lymphoma also revealed promising results. Hopefully, BsAb monotherapy or BsAb-containing regimens may become the standard therapy in patients with FL and DLBCL.

Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of venetoclax (VEN) in combination with chemotherapy (chemo) versus chemo alone in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Method: To compare the efficacy and/or safety of VEN+chemo versus chemotherapy alone for AML, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were used to searching up to June 2023. Comparisons included complete remission (CR), CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi), morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS), overall response rate (ORR), and adverse events (AEs). Result: A total of 9 articles were included, including 3124 patients. The baseline characteristics between two patient groups were similar. The combined analysis showed that compared with the group receiving chemo alone, the VEN+chemo group exhibited higher rates of CR, CRi, MLFS and ORR. Additionally, the VEN+chemo group had longer event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) durations. The incidence rates of AEs and serious AEs (SAEs) were similar between the two groups, but the early 30-day mortality rate was lower in the VEN+chemo group than in the chemo alone group. Conclusion: The VEN+chemo therapy demonstrates significant efficacy and safety profile in AML patients. However, more prospective studies are needed in the future to provide more accurate and robust evidence for treatment selection in patients.

RESUMO
Introduction Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) represent a novel and potentially effective approach in cancer immunotherapy. These antibodies feature two unique binding domains, enabling them to simultaneously attach to two antigens or two epitopes of a single antigen. Recently, a variety of BsAbs targeting distinct B-cell antigens and myeloid lineage-specific surface markers-such as CD19xCD3, CD38xCD3, and CD123xCD3-have demonstrated promising results in heavily pretreated relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R ALL) and relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML) patients. Areas covered New trail results were reported by different research groups at the 65th annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH). We provide a summary of the latest progress in BsAbs for immunotherapy in adult acute leukemia. Expert opinion B-ALL is the most favored leukemia for treatment with BsAbs, unlike T-ALL and AML, which are limited in constructs and results. The clinical application of blinatumomab in the first-line setting, combined with other therapies, has clearly benefited these B-ALL patients, especially older adults, due to its lower toxicity. In the B-ALL relapsed/refractory setting, new combinations with blinatumomab are under investigation, such as PD-1 or CTLA-4 inhibitors. We believe that with more clinical trial results, it is possible that blinatumomab will be used in new clinical indications soon. No novel BsAbs developed for B-ALL have yielded better results.

The immune checkpoint blockade strategy has improved the survival rate of late-stage lung cancer patients. However, the low immune response rate limits the immunotherapy efficiency. Here, we report a ROS-responsive Fe3O4-based nanoparticle that undergoes charge reversal and disassembly in the tumor microenvironment, enhancing the uptake of Fe3O4 by tumor cells and triggering a more severe ferroptosis. In the tumor microenvironment, the nanoparticle rapidly disassembles and releases the loaded GOx and the immune-activating peptide Tuftsin under overexpressed H2O2. GOx can consume the glucose of tumor cells and generate more H2O2, promoting the disassembly of the nanoparticle and drug release, thereby enhancing the therapeutic effect of ferroptosis. Combined with Tuftsin, it can more effectively reverse the immune-suppressive microenvironment and promote the recruitment of effector T cells in tumor tissues. Ultimately, in combination with α-PD-L1, there is significant inhibition of the growth of lung metastases. Additionally, the hyperpolarized 129Xe method has been used to evaluate the Fe3O4 nanoparticle-mediated immunotherapy, where the ventilation defects in lung metastases have been significantly improved with complete lung structure and function recovered. The ferroptosis-enhanced immunotherapy combined with non-radiation evaluation methodology paves a new way for designing novel theranostic agents for cancer therapy.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease with a poor prognosis. The current risk stratification system is essential but remains insufficient to select the best schedules. Cysteine-rich protein 1 (CSRP1) is a member of the CSRP family and associated with poor clinicopathological features in many tumors. This study aimed to explore the clinical significance and molecular mechanisms of cysteine- and glycine-rich protein 1 (CSRP1) in AML. RT-qPCR was used to detect the relative expression of CSRP1 in our clinical cohort. Functional enrichment analysis of CSRP1-related differentially expressed genes was carried out by GO/KEGG enrichment analysis, immune cell infiltration analysis, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. The OncoPredict algorithm was implemented to explore correlations between CSRP1 and drug resistance. CSRP1 was highly expressed in AML compared with normal samples. High CSRP1 expression was an independent poor prognostic factor. Functional enrichment analysis showed neutrophil activation and apoptosis were associated with CSRP1. In the PPI network, 19 genes were present in the most significant module, and 9 of them were correlated with AML prognosis. The high CSRP1 patients showed higher sensitivity to 5-fluorouracil, gemcitabine, rapamycin, cisplatin and lower sensitivity to fludarabine. CSRP1 may serve as a potential prognostic marker and a therapeutic target for AML in the future.

Jaktinib, a novel JAK and ACVR1 inhibitor, has exhibited promising results in treating patients with myelofibrosis (MF). ZGJAK002 is a Phase 2 trial aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of jaktinib 100 mg BID (N = 66) and 200 mg QD (N = 52) in JAK inhibitor-naive patients with intermediate- or high-risk MF. We herein present the long-term data with a median follow-up of 30.7 months. At data cutoff, 30.3% of patients in 100 mg BID and 28.8% in 200 mg QD were still continuing their treatment. The 100 mg BID group displayed a numerically higher best spleen response compared with the 200 mg QD group (69.7% vs. 46.2%), with 50.4% from the BID and 51.2% from the QD group maintaining spleen responses over 120 weeks. The 36-month survival rates were 78.2% in BID and 73.6% in QD group. The tolerability of jaktinib remained well, and common grade ≥3 adverse drug reactions included anemia (15.2% vs. 21.2%), thrombocytopenia (15.2% vs. 11.5%), and infectious pneumonia (10.6% vs. 1.9%) in BID and QD groups, respectively. By comparing the two groups, the incidence of adverse events (AEs) were similar, except for drug-related serious AEs (24.2% vs. 9.6%) and AEs leading to treatment discontinuation (15.2% vs. 7.7%), which were higher in BID group. The percentages of AEs resulting in death were comparable, with 6.1% in BID and 5.8% in QD group. These analyses further support the long-term durable efficacy and acceptable safety of jaktinib at 100 mg BID and 200 mg QD doses for treating MF.

As a newly identified checkpoint, T cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) domain (TIGIT) is highly expressed on CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, regulatory T cells (Tregs), and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). TIGIT has been associated with NK cell exhaustion in vivo and in individuals with various cancers. It not only modulates NK cell survival but also mediates T cell exhaustion. As the primary ligand of TIGIT in humans, CD155 may be the main target for immunotherapy due to its interaction with TIGIT. It has been found that the anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) treatment response in cancer immunotherapy is correlated with CD155 but not TIGIT. Anti-TIGIT alone and in combination with anti-PD-1 agents have been tested for cancer immunotherapy. Although two clinical studies on advanced lung cancer had positive results, the TIGIT-targeted antibody, tiragolumab, recently failed in two new trials. In this review, we highlight the current developments on TIGIT for cancer immunotherapy and discuss the characteristics and functions of TIGIT.
RESUMO
The small, heavily glycosylated protein CD24 is primarily expressed by many immune cells and is highly expressed mostly in cancer cells. As one of the most crucial biomarkers of cancers, CD24 is frequently highly expressed in solid tumors, while tumor-associated macrophages express Siglec-10 at high levels, Siglec-10 and CD24 can interact on innate immune cells to lessen inflammatory responses to a variety of disorders. Inhibiting inflammation brought on by SHP-1 and/or SHP-2 phosphatases as well as cell phagocytosis by macrophages, the binding of CD24 to Siglec-10 can prevent toll-like receptor-mediated inflammation. Targeted immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) has lately gained popularity as one of the best ways to treat different tumors. CD24 is a prominent innate immune checkpoint that may be a useful target for cancer immunotherapy. In recent years, numerous CD24/Siglec-10-related research studies have made tremendous progress. This study discusses the characteristics and workings of CD24/Siglec-10-targeted immunotherapy and offers a summary of current advances in CD24/Siglec-10-related immunotherapy research for cancer. We then suggested potential directions for CD24-targeted immunotherapy, basing our speculation mostly on the results of recent preclinical and clinical trials.

BACKGROUND: Although chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells have been proven to be an effective way of treating B cell malignancies, a lot of patients could not benefit from it because of failure in CAR-T cell manufacturing, disease progression, and unaffordable price. The study aimed to explore universal CAR-T cell products to extend the clinical accessibility. METHODS: The antitumor activity of CRISPR/Cas9-edited allogeneic anti-CD19 CAR-T (CAR-T19) cells was assessed in vitro, in animal models, and in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute B cell lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) or diffuse large B cell lymphoma. RESULTS: B2M-/TRAC- universal CAR-T19 (U-CAR-T19) cells exhibited powerful anti-leukemia abilities both in vitro and in animal models, as did primary CD19+ leukemia cells from leukemia patients. However, expansion, antitumor efficacy, or graft-versus-host-disease (GvHD) was not observed in six patients with R/R B cell malignancies after U-CAR-T19 cell infusion. Accordingly, significant activation of natural killer (NK) cells by U-CAR-T19 cells was proven both clinically and in vitro. HLA-A-/B-/TRAC- novel CAR-T19 (nU-CAR-T19) cells were constructed with similar tumoricidal capacity but resistance to NK cells in vitro. Surprisingly, robust expansion of nU-CAR-T19 cells, along with rapid eradication of CD19+ abnormal B cells, was observed in the peripheral blood and bone marrow of another three patients with R/R B-ALL. The patients achieved complete remission with no detectable minimal residual disease 14 days after the infusion of nU-CAR-T19 cells. Two of the three patients had grade 2 cytokine release syndrome, which were managed using an IL-6 receptor blocker. Most importantly, GvHD was not observed in any patient, suggesting the safety of TRAC-disrupted CAR-T cells generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 method for clinical application. CONCLUSIONS: The nU-CAR-T19 cells showed a strong response in R/R B-ALL. nU-CAR-T19 cells have the potential to be a promising new approach for treating R/R B cell malignancies.

Aplastic anemia (AA) is a bone marrow (BM) failure syndrome mediated by hyperactivated T-cells with heterogeneous pathogenic factors. The onset of BM failure cannot be accurately determined in humans; therefore, exact pathogenesis remains unclear. In this study, a cellular atlas and microenvironment interactions is established using unbiased single-cell RNA-seq, along with multi-omics analyses (mass cytometry, cytokine profiling, and oxidized fatty acid metabolomics). A new KIR+ CD8+ regulatory T cells (Treg) subset is identified in patients with AA that engages in immune homeostasis. Conventional CD4+ T-cells differentiate into highly differentiated T helper cells with type 2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-6, and IL-13), GM-SCF, and IL-1ß. Immunosuppressive homeostasis is impaired by enhanced apoptosis of activated Treg cells. Pathological Vδ1 cells dominated the main fraction of γδ T-cells. The B/plasma, erythroid, and myeloid lineages also exhibit substantial pathological features. Interactions between TNFSF12-TNFRSF12A, TNF-TNFRSF1A, and granzyme-gasdermin are associated with the cell death of hematopoietic stem/progenitor (HSPCs), Treg, and early erythroid cells. Ferroptosis, a major driver of HSPCs destruction, is identified in patients with AA. Furthermore, a case of twins with AA is reported to enhance the persuasiveness of the analysis. These results collectively constitute the cellular atlas and microenvironment interactions in patients with AA and provide novel insights into the development of new therapeutic opportunities.

According to recent research, bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are a promising new immunotherapy method. Various BsAb forms are constantly being developed. In the year 2022 alone, four BsAbs (tebentafusp, faricimab, mosunetuzumab, and teclistamab) were approved for clinical applications. BsAbs including odronextamab, talquetamab, linvoseltamab, and elranatamab are being actively evaluated in different clinical studies. Preliminary results show promising response rates in relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma (RRFL), relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (RRDLBCL), and relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), especially in heavily pretreated patients, including those who have progressed after proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, anti-CD38 antibodies, and CAR-T therapies. We summarized data published at the 28th European Hematology Association (EHA) annual meeting, which was held in Frankfurt between 8 June 2023 and 11 June 2023 on BsAbs monotherapy or combination therapy for RRFL, RRDLBCL, and RRMM.

This study evaluates the anti-tumor mechanism of IMM47, a humanized anti-CD24 mAb. Biolayer interferometry, ELISA and flow cytometry methods were used to measure the IMM47 binding, affinity, ADCC, ADCP, ADCT and CDC activities. In vivo therapeutical efficacy was measured in transplanted mouse models. IMM47 significantly binds granulocytes but not human erythrocytes and blocks CD24's ability to bind to Siglec-10. IMM47 has strong ADCC, ADCT and ADCP activity against REH cells. IMM47's in vivo pharmacodynamics showed that IMM47 has strong anti-tumor effects in human siglec-10 transgenic mouse models with a memory immune response. IMM47 also has powerful synergistic therapeutic efficacy when combined with Tislelizumab, Opdivo and Keytruda, by blocking CD24/Siglec-10 interaction through macrophage antigen presentation with strong ADCC, ADCP, ADCT and CDC activities and with a safe profile. IMM47 binding to CD24 is independent of N-glycosylation modification of the extracellular domain.
RESUMO
Hematologic malignancies are the most common hematopoietic diseases and a major public health concern. However, the mechanisms underlying myeloid tumors remain unknown owing to the intricate interplay between mutations and diverse clonal evolution patterns, as evidenced by the analysis of bulk cell-derived omics data. Several single-cell omics techniques have been used to characterize the hierarchies and altered immune microenvironments of hematologic malignancies. The comprehensive single-cell atlas of hematologic malignancies provides novel opportunities for personalized combinatorial targeted treatments, avoiding unwanted chemo-toxicity. In the present study, we performed transcriptome sequencing by combining single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) with a targeted oncogenic gene panel for acute myeloid leukemia, overcoming the limitations of scRNA-seq in detecting oncogenic mutations. The distribution of oncogenic IDH1, IDH2, and KRAS mutations in each cell type was identified in the bone marrow (BM) samples of each patient. Our findings suggest that ferroptosis and metabolic reprogramming are involved in the tumorigenesis and chemotherapy resistance of oncogenic mutation-carrying cells. Biological progression via IDH1, IDH2, and KRAS mutations arrests hematopoietic maturation. Our study findings provide a rationale for using primary BM cells for personalized treatment in clinical settings.
