Single-cell T cell receptor sequencing of paired human atherosclerotic plaques and blood reveals autoimmune-like features of expanded effector T cells - Nature Cardiovascular ResearchDepuydt and Schaftenaar et al. profile the T cell clonality in patients with atherosclerosis by performing single-cell T cell receptor sequencing on carotid artery plaques and matched peripheral blood mononuclear cell samples. The analyses showed plaque-specific clonal expansion in effector CD4+ T cells, expressing genes indicative of exposure to activating antigens, thus suggesting that atherosclerosis has an autoimmune component driven by autoreactive CD4+ T cells.

Frontiers | Spatiotemporal local and abscopal cell death and immune responses to histotripsy focused ultrasound tumor ablationHistotripsy is a novel focused ultrasound tumor ablation modality with potent immunostimulatory effects. To measure the spatiotemporal kinetics of local and abscopal responses to histotripsy, C57BL/6 mice bearing bilateral flank B16 melanoma or Hepa1-6 hepatocellular carcinoma tumors were treated with unilateral sham or partial histotripsy. Treated and contralateral untreated (abscopal) tumors were analyzed using multicolor immunofluorescence, digital spatial profiling, RNA sequencing (RNASeq), and flow cytometry. Unilateral histotripsy triggered abscopal tumor growth inhibition. Within the ablation zone, early high mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) release and necroptosis were accompanied by immunogenic cell death transcriptional responses in tumor cells and innate immune activation transcriptional responses in infiltrating myeloid and natural killer (NK) cells. Delayed CD8+ T cell intratumoral infiltration was spatiotemporally aligned with cancer cell features of ferroptosis; this effect was enhanced by CTLA-4 blockade and recapitulated in vitro when tumor-draining lymph node CD8+ T cells were co-cultured with tumor cells. Inoculation with cell-free tumor fractions generated by histotripsy but not radiation or freeze/thaw conferred partial protection from tumor challenge. We propose that histotripsy may evoke local necroptotic immunogenic cell death, priming systemic adaptive immune responses and abscopal ferroptotic cancer cell death.

Aspirin increases chemosensitivity of colorectal cancer cells and inhibits the expression of toll-like receptor 4 - Cancer Cell InternationalBackground Chemotherapy resistance is an important bottleneck affecting the efficacy of chemotherapy in colon cancer. Therefore, improving the chemotherapy sensitivity of colorectal cancer cells is of great significance for improving the prognosis of patients with colon cancer. Methods CCK-8 assay was employed to examine the cell viability of colorectal cancer cell lines. Realtime-PCR and western blot were used to explore toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression in colorectal cancer cell lines. The functions of TLR4 in the stemness of the colorectal cancer cell lines were analyzed by infecting cells with lentivirus containing TLR4 siRNA. Results We found that aspirin could effectively enhance the chemosensitivity of CT26 and HCT116 colorectal cancer cell lines. Aspirin can also inhibit the stemness of colorectal cancer cell including inhibiting the number of clone formation and reducing the volume and number of cell spheres and inducing the down-regulation of stemness-related genes. Besides that, aspirin also lead to down-regulation of TLR4 expression in colorectal cancer cells. The TLR4 positive colorectal cancer cells demonstrated a higher chemotherapy resistance potential than TLR4 negative colorectal cancer cells. In addition, the stemness of TLR4 positive colorectal cancer cells is stronger than TLR4 negative colorectal cancer cells. Conclusion The results of our study indicate that aspirin increases chemosensitivity of colorectal cancer cells and inhibits the expression of toll-like receptor 4.

Single-cell analysis reveals prognostic fibroblast subpopulations linked to molecular and immunological subtypes of lung cancer - Nature CommunicationsFibroblast heterogeneity is a prominent but poorly understood feature of solid tumours. Here three major fibroblast subpopulations in non-small cell lung cancer are identified and characterised through single cell RNA-sequencing, multiplexed immunohistochemistry and digital cytometry.
