AbstractObjectives: AXL-mediated activation of aberrant tyrosine kinase drives various oncogenic processes and facilitates an immunosuppressive microenvironment. We evaluated the anti-tumor and anti-metastatic activities of SKI-G-801, a small-molecule inh…

AbstractPurpose: Agonists of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) play a key role in activating the STING pathway by promoting the production of cytokines. In this study, we investigated the antitumor effects and activation of the systemic immune re…

AbstractIntroduction: Osimertinib is a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that is approved for the use of EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. In this study, we investigated the acquired resistance mechanisms in…

AbstractA recently developed treatment strategy for lung cancer that combines immune checkpoint inhibitors with chemotherapy has been applied as a standard treatment for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), and it has improved th…

AbstractAmong cancer cells, indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase1 (IDO1) activity has been implicated in improving the proliferation and growth of cancer cells and suppressing immune cell activity. IDO1 is also responsible for the catabolism of tryptophan to kynurenin…

AbstractThe development of cancer therapies using monoclonal antibodies has been successful during the last 30 years. Recently much progress was achieved with technologies involving bispecific and multi-specific antibodies. Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are an…

AbstractCancer cells are able to reprogram their glucose metabolism and retain energy via glycolysis even under aerobic conditions. They activate the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP), and the complex interplay of O-linked N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcN…

AbstractBackground: The predictive value of immune monitoring with circulating CD8+ T lymphocytes for treatment response to programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitors has not been explored in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), prompting us to…

AbstractObjective: Anti-programmed death (PD)-1 therapy confers sustainable clinical benefits for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but only some patients respond to the treatment. Various clinical characteristics, including the PD-ligand …

AbstractUp to 40% of patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) may develop central nervous system (CNS) metastases throughout their disease. Moreover, the first- and second-generation EGFR-tyrosi…

AbstractEGFR exon 20 insertion driver mutations (Exon20ins) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are insensitive to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). Amivantamab (JNJ-61186372), a bispecific antibody targeting EGFR-MET, has shown preclinical activit…

AbstractBackground: EML4-ALK is a distinct molecular entity that is highly sensitive to ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have not proved efficacy in ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer so far. In thi…

AbstractBackgroundWe investigated whether head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) reaffirm patient responses to anti-cancer therapeutics.MethodsTumors from HNSCC patients were transplanted into immunodeficient mice and p…

AbstractClinical benefit of ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK‐TKIs) in ALK‐rearranged lung cancer has been limited by the inevitable development of acquired resistance, and bypass‐molecular resistance mechanisms remain poorly understood. We in…
