The Role of Immunotherapy in Multiple Myeloma.

Multiple myeloma is the second most common hematologic malignancy. The treatment of this disease has changed considerably over the last two decades with the introduction to the clinical practice of novel agents such as proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs. Basic research efforts towards better understanding of normal and missing immune surveillence in myeloma have led to development of new strategies and therapies that require the engagement of the immune system. Many of these treatments are under clinical development and have already started providing encouraging results. We, for

Extramedullary disease in multiple myeloma.

When clonal plasma cells grow at anatomic sites distant from the bone marrow or grows contiguous from osseous lesions that break through the cortical bone, it is referred to as extramedullary multiple myeloma (EMD). EMD remains challenging from a therapeutic and biological perspective. The pathogenetic mechanisms are not completely understood and it is generally associated with high-risk cytogenetics which portends poor outcomes. There is a rising incidence of EMD in the era of novel agents, likely a reflection of longer OS, with no standard treatment approach. Patients benefit from aggressive

Application of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells in the Treatment of Hematological Malignancies.

T cell immune protection plays a pivotal role in the treatment of patients with hematological malignancies. However, T cell exhaustion might lead to the possibility of immune escape of hematological malignancies. Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) with chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells can restore the activity of exhausted T cell through reprogramming and is widely used in the treatment of relapsed/refractory (r/r) hematological malignancies. Of note, CD19, CD20, CD30, CD33, CD123, and CD269 as ideal targets have shown extraordinary potential for CAR-T cell therapy and other targets such as C

Influence and Role of Regulatory B Cells in Organ Transplantation: The State of the Art, Prospects, and Emerging Insights.

B cells have attracted increasing interest in the field of organ transplantation due to their newly discovered immunoregulatory properties in alloimmune responses. Traditionally, B cells have been primarily associated with adaptive immunity to foreign substances and alloreactive immune response to allografts, differentiating into antibody-producing plasma cells or memory cells upon antigen recognition and T cell collaboration. However, the existence of B cells with regulatory functions (Bregs) in humans has been widely confirmed, highlighting the presence of this subset, which has immunosuppre

Antibody-drug conjugates in clinical trials for lymphoid malignancies and multiple myeloma.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) represent a distinct family of chemoimmunotherapy agents. ADCs are composed of monoclonal antibodies conjugated to cytotoxic payloads via specialized chemical linkers. ADCs therefore combine the immune therapy with targeted chemotherapy. Due to the distinct biomarkers associated with lymphocytes and plasma cells, ADCs have emerged as a promising treatment option for lymphoid malignancies and multiple myeloma. Several ADCs have been approved for clinical applications: brentuximab vedotin, inotuzumab ozogamicin, moxetumomab pasudotox, and polatuzumab vedotin. More

Oncolytic myxoma virus and engineering strategies for advanced cancer immunotherapy.

In cancer immunotherapy, oncolytic viruses (OVs) offer an alternative approach to kill malignant cells by inducing cancer-specific host immune system activation. Given the ongoing need for safe and effective viral vectors for immunotherapy, non-zoonotic animal viruses have attracted significant interest. Here, we review the oncolytic myxoma virus (MYXV) and emphasize its emerging role in cancer immunotherapy. We critically discuss recent advances in cancer therapy using MYXV, primarily focused on engineered viral modifications. Furthermore, we briefly review alternative delivery strategies for

NK cell based immunotherapy against oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), a major subtype of head and neck cancers, presents significant challenges due to its aggressive feature and limited therapeutic efficacy of conventional treatments. In response to these challenges, Natural Killer (NK) cells, a vital component of the innate immune system, are being explored for their therapeutic potential in OSCC due to their inherent ability to target and eliminate cancer cells without prior sensitization. This review uniquely focuses on the evolving role of NK cells specifically in OSCC, incorporating recent advancements in CAR-NK cell eng

Evaluating the Link between BAFF System Gene Expression and Acute Rejection Development in Kidney Transplantation.

B-cell activating factor (BAFF) system signaling is critical for B-cell homeostasis, effector functions, and tolerance maintenance in transplants, but it has not been studied in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). The aim was to analyze the changes in BAFF system expression in KTRs with/without acute rejection (AR/NAR). The BAFF system expression was analyzed by qPCR in 40 KTRs. A meta-analysis of BAFF system expression and histological renal damage was identified by the Chronic Allograft Damage Index (CADI) and performed from the GEO database. Proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) expression

New Insights and Future Perspectives of APRIL in IgA Nephropathy.

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is characterized by immune-mediated glomerulonephritis, with the accumulation of galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) in the glomeruli and increased levels of circulating Gd-IgA1 and Gd-IgA1-containing immune complexes. An incomplete understanding of the underlying mechanisms and differences in clinical and pathological features between individuals and ethnicities has contributed to the lack of established treatments for IgAN. A tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family member, a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), is a crucial cytokine essential for the generation and surviva

Cancer stem cells in personalized therapy: mechanisms, microenvironment crosstalk, and therapeutic vulnerabilities.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) drive tumor progression, therapy resistance, and metastasis through unique membrane biology, glycosylation patterns, and metabolic adaptations. CSCs exhibit a distinct glycocalyx profile enriched in hyaluronan, heparan sulfate, and sialylated glycans, facilitating immune evasion, adhesion, and survival. Key signaling pathways-Wnt/β-catenin, Hedgehog, Notch, JAK/STAT, TGF/SMAD, and PI3K/AKT/mTOR-regulate CSC stemness and therapeutic resistance. Emerging biomarkers (CD44, CD133, ALDH1, EpCAM) and targeted therapies (CAR-T cells, miRNA modulation, lipid metabolism inhibit

Bispecific Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy for B Cell Malignancies and Multiple Myeloma.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) modified T cell therapy offers a targeted immunotherapeutic approach to patients with refractory hematological malignancies. This technology is most advanced in B cell malignancies and multiple myeloma and is rapidly evolving as more data become available regarding clinical efficacy and response durability. Despite excellent initial response rates with single antigen targeting CARs, failure to respond to therapy and relapse due to target antigen downregulation remain clinical challenges. To mitigate immunophenotypic selective pressures, simultaneous dual antigen

EMD originates from hyaluronan-induced homophilic interactions of CD44 variant-expressing MM cells under shear stress.

Extramedullary disease (EMD) is known to be associated with chemoresistance and poor prognosis in multiple myeloma (MM); however, the mechanisms of its development are not fully understood. Elucidating the mechanism of EMD development and its therapeutic targeting would greatly contribute to further improvement of treatment outcome in patients with MM. Here, we show that bone marrow stroma cell-derived hyaluronan (HA) elicits homophilic interactions of MM cells by binding to surface CD44, especially long-stretch variants, under physiological shear stress and generates cell clusters that might

Cancer metastasis to the bone: Mechanisms and animal models (Review).

The majority of cancer-related deaths result from tumor metastasis, with bone metastasis occurring in almost all types of malignant tumors. Understanding the mechanism by which tumors metastasize to bone is critical for the identification of novel therapeutic targets. A large amount of research has been carried out using animal models, and these models have been crucial in advancing the fundamental understanding of cancer. However, current models are limited; although they can mimic specific stages of the metastatic process, they are not able to replicate the entire process from tumorigenesis

Emerging Roles of Osteoclasts in the Modulation of Bone Microenvironment and Immune Suppression in Multiple Myeloma.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is one of the most common forms of hematologic malignancy resulting from cancerous proliferation of mature malignant plasma cells (MPCs). But despite the real improvement in therapeutics in the past years, it remains largely incurable. MM is the most frequent cancer to involve bone due to the stimulation of osteoclast (OCL) differentiation and activity. OCLs have a unique capacity to resorb bone. However, recent studies reveal that they are not restrained to this sole function. They participate in the control of angiogenesis, medullary niches, and immune responses, includ

Multiple myeloma cancer stem cells.

Multiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable despite much progress that has been made in the treatment of the disease. MM cancer stem cell (MMSC), a rare subpopulation of MM cells with the capacity for self-renewal and drug resistance, is considered to lead to disease relapse. Several markers such as side population (SP) and ALDH1+ have been used to identify MMSCs. However, ideally and more precisely, the identification of the MMSCs should rely on MMSCs phenotype. Unfortunately the MMSC phenotype has not been properly defined yet. Drug resistance is the most important property of MMSCs and contribu

CAR T-Cells in Multiple Myeloma: State of the Art and Future Directions.

Despite recent therapeutic advances, the prognosis of multiple myeloma (MM) patients remains poor. Thus, new strategies to improve outcomes are imperative. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has changed the treatment landscape of B-cell malignancies, providing a potentially curative option for patients who are refractory to standard treatment. Long-term remissions achieved in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma encouraged its further development in MM. B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeted CAR T-cells have established outstanding results in heavi
