Trogocytosis in CAR immune cell therapy: a key mechanism of tumor immune escape. Cell communication and signaling : CCS Immune cell therapy based on chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) technology platform has been greatly developed. The types of CAR immune cell therapy have expanded from T cells to innate immune cells such as NK cells and macrophages, and the diseases treated have expanded from hematological malignancies to non-tumor fields such as infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases. Among them, CAR-T and CAR-NK therapy have observed examples of rapid remission in approved clinical trials, but the efficacy is unstable and plagued by tumor resistance. Trogocytosis is a special phenomenon of intercellular molecular transfer that is common in the immune system and is achieved by recipient cells through acquisition and internalization of donor cell-derived molecules and mediates immune effects. Recently, a novel short-term drug resistance mechanism based on trogocytosis has been proposed, and the bidirectional molecular exchange between CAR immune cells and tumor cells triggered by trogocytosis partially explains the long-term relapse phenomenon after treatment with CAR immune cells. In this review, we summarize the research progress of trogocytosis in CAR immunotherapy, discuss the influencing factors of trogocytosis and its direct and indirect interference with CAR immune cells and emphasize that the interference of trogocytosis can further release the potential of CAR immune cell therapy. 10.1186/s12964-024-01894-2

Molecular Mechanism of Tumor Cell Immune Escape Mediated by CD24/Siglec-10. Yin Shan-Shan,Gao Feng-Hou Frontiers in immunology Tumor immune escape is an important part of tumorigenesis and development. Tumor cells can develop a variety of immunosuppressive mechanisms to combat tumor immunity. Exploring tumor cells that escape immune surveillance through the molecular mechanism of related immunosuppression in-depth is helpful to develop the treatment strategies of targeted tumor immune escape. The latest studies show that CD24 on the surface of tumor cells interacts with Siglec-10 on the surface of immune cells to promote the immune escape of tumor cells. It is necessary to comment on the molecular mechanism of inhibiting the activation of immune cells through the interaction between CD24 on tumor cells and Siglec-10 on immune cells, and a treatment strategy of tumors through targeting CD24 on the surface of tumor cells or Siglec-10 on immune cells. 10.3389/fimmu.2020.01324

RAS Signaling Gone Awry in the Skin: The Complex Role of RAS in Cutaneous Neurofibroma Pathogenesis, Emerging Biological Insights. The Journal of investigative dermatology Cutaneous neurofibromas (cNFs) are the most common tumor in people with the rasopathy neurofibromatosis type 1. They number in hundreds or even thousands throughout the body, and currently, there are no effective interventions to prevent or treat these skin tumors. To facilitate the identification of novel and effective therapies, essential studies including a more refined understanding of cNF biology and the role of RAS signaling and downstream effector pathways responsible for cNF initiation, growth, and maintenance are needed. This review highlights the current state of knowledge of RAS signaling in cNF pathogenesis and therapeutic development for cNF treatment. 10.1016/j.jid.2023.01.043

Tumorigenesis in neurofibromatosis type 1: role of the microenvironment. Oncogene Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) is one of the most common inherited neurological disorders and predisposes patients to develop benign and malignant tumors. Neurofibromas are NF1-associated benign tumors but can cause substantial discomfort and disfigurement. Numerous studies have shown that neurofibromas arise from the Schwann cell lineage but both preclinical mouse models and clinical trials have demonstrated that the neurofibroma tumor microenvironment contributes significantly to tumorigenesis. This offers the opportunity for targeting new therapeutic vulnerabilities to treat neurofibromas. However, a translational gap exists between deciphering the contribution of the neurofibroma tumor microenvironment and clinically applying this knowledge to treat neurofibromas. Here, we discuss the key cellular and molecular components in the neurofibroma tumor microenvironment that can potentially be targeted therapeutically to advance neurofibroma treatment. 10.1038/s41388-021-01979-z
