The guided fire from within: intratumoral administration of mRNA-based vaccines to mobilize memory immunity and direct immune responses against pathogen to target solid tumors by Renhao Li, Jing-Chu Hu, Li Rong, Yige He, Xiaolei Wang, Xuansheng Lin, Wenjun Li, Yangfan Wu, Chaiyaporn Kuwentrai, Canhui Su, Thomas Yau, Ivan Fan-Ngai Hung, Xiang Gao, Jian-Dong Huang

“…Given that the majority of the global population has acquired memory immunity against various pathogens through infection or vaccination, we believe that, in addition to utilizing the widely held immune memory against SARS-CoV-2 via COVID-19 vaccine, mRNA vaccines against other pathogens, such as Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Common Human Coronaviruses (HCoVs), and the influenza virus, could be rapidly transitioned into clinical use and holds great promise in treating different types of cancer. …”

Glutamine deprivation confers immunotherapy resistance by inhibiting IFN-γ signaling in cancer cells by Zhiwei Yuan, Taiyan Yu, Xu Wang, Kelin Meng, Tianlai Wang, Boyu Wang, Yu Xi, Congjian Wang, Chenxi Zeng, Shaojie Hu, Yitao Tian, Hui Xiong, Qi Wang, Wenbin Zou, Xue Wang, Yi Gao, Xiangning Fu, Lequn Li

“…Given that the tumor-intrinsic response to interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is a key determinant of immunotherapy efficacy, we investigated whether and how glutamine deprivation in cancer cells affects their response to IFN-γ. By using human lung cancer cell lines, patient-derived tumor explants, and a syngeneic mouse model of lung cancer, we demonstrated that glutamine deprivation reduced the IFN-γ-driven response in cancer cells by promoting autophagy-dependent IFN-γ receptor (IFNGR1) degradation and rendering tumors resistant to anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy. …”
