During oncogenesis, tumor cells present specific carbohydrate chains that are new targets for cancer immunotherapy. Whereas these tumor-associated carbohydrates (TACA) can be targeted with antibodies and vaccination approaches, TACA including sialic acid-containing glycans able to inhibit anticancer immune responses by engagement of receptors on leukocytes. A family immune-modulating acid-binding Siglec have been recently described antitumor activity mediated myeloid cells, natural killer T cells. Other TACA-binding selectins linked progression. Recent studies shown glycan-lectin interactions improve For example, between the checkpoint cell immunoglobulin mucin-domain containing-3 lectin galectin-9 in clinical trials. In addition, an antibody against Siglec-15 is being tested early trial. this review, we summarize previous current efforts target inhibitory binding Siglec-sialoglycan axis.

Abstract Tumor development and metastasis are facilitated by the complex interactions between cancer cells their microenvironment, which comprises stromal extracellular matrix (ECM) components, among other factors. Stromal can adopt new phenotypes to promote tumor cell invasion. A deep understanding of signaling pathways involved in cell‐to‐cell cell‐to‐ECM is needed design effective intervention strategies that might interrupt these interactions. In this review, we describe microenvironment (TME) components associated therapeutics. We discuss clinical advances prevalent newly discovered TME, immune checkpoints immunosuppressive chemokines, currently used inhibitors targeting pathways.

Significance Targeting myeloid cells represents a promising strategy to augment antitumor immunity and overcome resistance existing T cell-targeting therapies. However checkpoints that can be effectively used as immunotherapy targets are still lacking. Here, we demonstrate the therapeutic potential of targeting Siglec-7 Siglec-9 enhance in vivo. Using an immunocompetent mouse model humanized for Siglec-7/9, show these receptors inhibit endogenous immune response tissue-specific manner. These Siglecs also restrict tumor-targeting checkpoint-targeting antibodies, highlighting their significance combinatorial approaches immunotherapy. Finally, Siglec-7/9 blockade significantly reduce tumor burden vivo, supporting use antibodies therapeutically immunity.

The surface of every eukaryotic cell is coated in a thick layer glycans that acts as key interface with the extracellular environment. Cancer cells have different ‘glycan coat’ to healthy and aberrant glycosylation universal feature cancer linked all hallmarks. This means hold huge potential for development new diagnostic therapeutic strategies. One change tumour increased sialylation, both on N-glycans O-glycans, which leads dense forest sialylated structures covering surface. hypersialylation has far-reaching consequences cells, are fundamental growth, metastasis, immune evasion drug resistance. strategies inhibit sialylation represents an important opportunity develop therapeutics.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive form of primary brain tumor, for which effective therapies are urgently needed. Cancer cells capable evading clearance by phagocytes such as microglia- and monocyte-derived through engaging tolerogenic programs. Here, we found that high expression sialic acid–binding immunoglobulin-like lectin 9 (Siglec-9) correlates with reduced survival in patients GBM. Using cell-specific knockouts Siglec-E, murine functional homolog Siglec-9, together single-cell RNA sequencing, demonstrated Siglec-E inhibits phagocytosis these cells, thereby promoting immune evasion.

Selectins are vascular adhesion molecules that mediate physiological responses such as inflammation, immunity and hemostasis. During cancer progression, selectins promote various steps enabling the interactions between tumor cells blood constituents, including platelets, endothelial leukocytes. carbohydrate-binding bind to sialylated, fucosylated glycan structures. The increased selectin ligand expression on correlates with enhanced metastasis poor prognosis for patients. While, many studies focused role of a mediator cell extravasation during metastasis, there is evidence activate signaling cascade regulates immune within microenvironment. L-Selectin binding induces activation leukocytes, which can be further modulated by selectin-mediated platelets cells. Selectin PSGL-1, triggers intracellular in leukocytes induced through platelet's P-selectin or E-selectin binding. In this review, I summarize selectin-induced modulation progression represents possible target controlling immunity.
