摘要:
The present invention provides markers, marker signatures and molecular targets that correlate with dysfunction of immune cells and are advantageously independent of the immune cell activation status. The present markers, marker signatures and molecular targets provide for new ways to evaluate and modulate immune responses. Specifically, GATA3 and/or FOXO1 modulation are provided for use as markers, marker signatures and molecular targets. Therapeutic methods are also provided to treat a patient in need thereof who would benefit from an increased immune response.
摘要:
Described herein are novel compositions comprising IL-27 or NFIL-3 modulators (i e , inhibitors or activators), and methods using these agents for targeting cells, such as functionally exhausted or unresponsive immune cells, and modulating TIM-3 activity or expression. These compositions, methods, and uses are useful for the treatment of chronic immune conditions, such as persistent infections, cancer, and autoimmune diseases.
摘要:
The subject matter disclosed herein is generally directed to modulating T cell dysfunctional and effector states by modulating glucocorticoid and IL-27 signaling. The invention further relates to modulating immune states, such as CD8 T cell immune states, in vivo, ex vivo and in vitro. The invention further relates to diagnostic and screening methods.
摘要:
The present invention provides novel pan-cancer T cell exhaustion regulators. CXCR6 expressed in CD8+ T cells was specifically identified as regulating anti-tumor immunity. Modulating CXCR6-CXCL16 interaction is useful in modulating anti-tumor immunity. The identified genes may be modulated in T cells for use in adoptive cell transfer. The identified genes may be modulated in vivo.
摘要:
This invention relates generally to compositions and methods for modulating complement component 3 (C3) activity or expression to treat, control or otherwise influence tumors and tissues, including cells and cell types of the tumors and tissues, and malignant, microenvironmental, or immunologic states of the tumor cells and tissues. The invention also relates to methods of diagnosing, prognosing and/or staging of tumors, tissues and cells.

摘要:
The subject matter disclosed herein is generally directed to modulating anti-tumor T cell immunity by modulating steroidogenesis. Steroidogenesis may be modulated with inhibitors of enzymes that synthesize glucocorticoids in a tumor. The inhibitor may target Cyp11a1. The inhibitor may be metyrapone. The invention further relates to modulating immune states, such as CD8 T cell immune states, in vivo, ex vivo and in vitro. The invention further relates to diagnostic and screening methods.

摘要:
The present invention is generally directed to identifying genes and cell types that are correlated with tumor progression in the tumor microenvironment. PENK was identified as a therapeutic target that is positively correlated with tumor time and size. Targeting PENK can enhance anti-tumor immunity. Opioid signaling can be modulated to enhance anti-tumor immunity. The present invention is also generally directed to interacting cells in the tumor microenvironment and using the identified interactions to enhance anti-tumor immunity in cancer. Identified interactions can be modulated using therapeutic agents. Immune cells resistant to suppression can be used for adoptive cell transfer.
