PPARγ induces PD-L1 expression in MSS+ colorectal cancer cells

PPARγ induces PD-L1 expression in MSS+ colorectal cancer cells

Only a small subset of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients benefits from immunotherapies, comprising blocking antibodies (Abs) against checkpoint receptor “programmed-cell-death-1” (PD1) and its ligand (PD-L1), because most cases lack the required mutational burden and neo-antigen load caused by microsatellite instability (MSI) and/or an inflamed, immune cell-infiltrated PD-L1+ tumor microenvironment. Peroxisome proliferator-activated-receptor-gamma (PPARγ), a metabolic transcription factor stimulated by…

Glycolytic Reprogramming in Silica-Induced Lung Macrophages and Silicosis Reversed by Ac-SDKP Treatment

Glycolytic reprogramming is a crucial metabolic function within the growth of pulmonary fibrosis. Nevertheless, the particular mechanism of glycolysis in silicosis continues to be not clear. On this examine, silicotic fashions and silica-induced macrophage have been used to elucidate the mechanism of glycolysis induced by silica. Expression ranges of the important thing enzymes in glycolysis…
