Extracellular HMGB1 blockade inhibits tumor growth through profoundly remodeling immune microenvironment and enhances checkpoint inhibitor-based immunotherapy by Coraline Radermecker, Pascale Hubert, Patrick Roncarati, Stephanie Demoulin, Charlotte Pilard, Marie Ancion, Celia Reynders, Thomas Lerho, Diane Bruyere, Alizee Lebeau, Margot Meunier, Marie-Julie Nokin, Elodie Hendrick, Olivier Peulen, Philippe Delvenne, Michael Herfs

“…Indeed, without affecting the global number of (CD45+) immune cells, drastic reductions of monocytic/granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) and regulatory T lymphocytes, a higher M1/M2 ratio of macrophages as well as an increased activation of both DC and pDC were continually observed following HMGB1 inhibition. Moreover, blocking HMGB1 improved the efficacy of anti-PD-1 cancer monoimmunotherapy. …”

Neuropilin1-dependent paracrine signaling of cancer cells mediated by miRNA exosomal cargo by Claudia Palazzo, Roberta Mastrantonio, Noemi Gioelli, Erika Testa, Francesco Recco, Donatella Lucchetti, Giulia Villari, Alessio D’Alessio, Alessandro Sgambato, Flavio Mignone, Guido Serini, Maria Teresa Viscomi, Luca Tamagnone

“…The micro-RNA profile carried by exosomes was investigated by Next Generation Sequencing. miRNA-Scope in situ hybridization was used to assess the transfer of miRNA exosome cargo to target cells, and immunofluorescence analysis revealed expression regulation of targeted proteins. miRNA activity was blocked by the use of specific antago-miRs. Results In this study, we show that diverse human cancer cells release NRP1 embedded in exosome-like small extracellular vesicles, which mediate a previously unknown NRP1-dependent paracrine signaling mechanism regulating endothelial cell migration. …”
