Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis secondary to refractory acute myeloid leukemia resolved after second line treatment with azacitidine plus venetoclax by Claudio Fozza

“… Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), also defined as hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS), represents a potentially life-threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome, characterized by impaired function of cytotoxic T lymphocytes, natural killer cells and macrophages. The main clinical features of HLH are prolonged fever, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenia, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperferritinemia and hemophagocytosis in bone marrow, liver, spleen or lymph nodes. …”

Reversing NK cell exhaustion: a novel strategy combining immune checkpoint blockade with drug sensitivity enhancement in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma by Yuxiang Huang, Hengjian Liao, Jiefu Luo, Huaning Wei, Anling Li, Yujie Lu, Bangde Xiang

“…Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common lethal cancers worldwide. Natural killer cells (NK cells) play a key role in liver immunosurveillance, but in the tumor microenvironment, NK cells are readily depleted, as evidenced by down-regulation of activating receptors, reduced cytokine secretion, and attenuated killing function. …”

Modulating lipid metabolism improves tumor immunotherapy by Yi Zhang, Yu Ping, Qiuqing Fan

“…Currently, the metabolism of lipids, such as fatty acids, phospholipids, and cholesterol, has been reported to affect the tumor microenvironment by regulating immune cells, including T cells, natural killer cells, and macrophages. These metabolic changes can impair the efficacy of immunotherapy, resulting in tumor progression. …”
