Identifying definitive biomarkers that predict clinical response and resistance to immunotherapy remains a critical challenge. One emerging factor is extracellular acidosis in the tumor microenvironment (TME), which significantly impairs immune cell function contributes failure. However, acidic conditions TME disrupt interaction between cancer cells, driving tumor-infiltrating T cells NK into an inactivated, anergic state. Simultaneously, promotes recruitment activation of immunosuppressive such as myeloid-derived suppressor regulatory (Tregs). Notably, acidity enhances exosome release from Tregs, further amplifying immunosuppression. Tumor thus acts "protective shield," neutralizing anti-tumor responses transforming pro-tumor allies. Therefore, targeting lactate metabolism has emerged promising strategy overcome this barrier, with approaches including buffer agents neutralize pH inhibitors block production or transport, thereby restoring efficacy TME. Recent discoveries have identified genes involved (pHe) regulation, presenting new therapeutic targets. Moreover, ongoing research aims elucidate molecular mechanisms acidification develop treatments modulate levels enhance outcomes. Additionally, future studies are crucial validate safety pHe-targeted therapies patients. Thus, review explores regulation pHe its potential role improving immunotherapy.

Abstract Intrinsic immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITM) and insufficient infiltration of T cells severely impede the progress glioblastoma (GBM) immunotherapy. In this study, it is identify that inhibiting expression glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) can facilitate prevention lactate excretion from glycolysis, which significantly alleviates lactate‐driven ITM by reducing tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) regulatory (Tregs). Simultaneously, findings show generated inflammatory cytokine IFN‐γ during immune activation aggravates escape upregulating checkpoint programmed death‐ligand (PD‐L1) in TAMs. Therefore, an injectable thermogel loaded with a GLUT1 inhibitor BAY‐876 PD‐1/PD‐L1 blocker BMS‐1 (Gel@B‐B) for dual‐regulation metabolism immunity GBM developed. Consequently, situ injection Gel@B‐B delays growth prolongs survival orthotopic mouse model. By actively exposing antigens to antigen‐presenting cells, vaccine combined found increase fraction effector (Th1/CTLs) microenvironment, thereby remarkably mitigating recurrence long‐term. This study may provide promising strategy

This study investigates the role of lactate in genesis and progression ovarian cancer (OV) explores underlying mechanisms. Serum levels show a positive correlation with tumor grade poor prognosis patients OV. Bioinformatics analysis identifies CCL18 as lactate-related gene CCL18 is up-regulated cancerous tissues positively related to serum OV patients. THP-1 cells are exposed phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate for M0 macrophage induction. The results RT-qPCR ELISA M1/M2 macrophage-related markers inflammatory cytokines that exposure macrophages induces M2 polarization. Based on coculture macrophages, lactate-treated significant increase proliferation migration cells. However, these effects can be reversed by silencing Gpr132 or treatment anti-CCL18 antibody. Experiments using xenograft model verify oncogenic growth metastasis relies Gpr132 CCL18. ChIP-qPCR luciferase reporter assays reveal regulates expression via H3K18 lactylation. In conclusion, potential therapeutic target It involved tumorigenesis activating lactylation macrophages.

Abstract N 6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant mRNA modification in mammals and it plays a vital role various biological processes. However, roles of m6A on cervical cancer tumorigenesis, especially macrophages infiltrated tumor microenvironment cancer, are still unclear. We analyzed abnormal methylation using CaSki THP-1 cell lines, that might influence macrophage polarization and/or function microenvironment. In addition, C57BL/6J BALB/c nude mice were used for validation vivo. this study, methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing analysis revealed profiles cancer. Then, we discovered high expression METTL14 (methyltransferase 14, N6-adenosine-methyltransferase subunit) tissues can promote proportion programmed death protein 1 (PD-1)–positive tumor-associated macrophages, which have an obstacle to devour cells.
