The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment marks a major breakthrough. These therapies have proven safer and more effective than traditional radiotherapy targeted treatments. Immunotherapies like pembrolizumab, nivolumab, ipilimumab pioneered new avenues, potentially improving patient outcomes quality life. Additionally, advances immunotherapy prompted detailed research into CRC therapies, especially those integrating ICIs with conventional treatments, providing hope for patients shaping future practice. This review delves the mechanisms various evaluates their therapeutic potential when combined radiotherapy, chemotherapy, clinical settings. It also sheds light on current application involving treatment.

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Immunotherapy targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis has revolutionized treatment, providing durable responses in subset patients. However, with fewer than 50% patients achieving significant benefits, there is critical need to expand therapeutic strategies. This review explores emerging targets immune checkpoint inhibition beyond PD-1/PD-L1, including CTLA-4, TIGIT, LAG-3, TIM-3, NKG2A, and CD39/CD73. We highlight biological basis CD8 T cell exhaustion shaping antitumor response.

Numerous preclinical studies have demonstrated the inhibitory function of T cell immunoglobulin mucin domain-containing protein 3 (Tim-3) on cells as an receptor, leading to clinical development anti-Tim-3 blocking antibodies. However, recent shown that Tim-3 is expressed not only but also multiple types in tumor microenvironment (TME), including dendritic (DCs), natural killer (NK) cells, macrophages, and cells. Therefore, blockade immune affect influence functions other For example, can enhance ability DCs regulate innate adaptive immunity.

A steady dysfunctional state caused by chronic antigen stimulation in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is known as CD8 + T cell exhaustion. Exhausted-like cells (CD8 Tex) displayed decreased effector and proliferative capabilities, elevated co-inhibitory receptor generation, cytotoxicity, changes metabolism transcription. TME induces exhaustion through long-term stimulation, upregulation of immune checkpoints, recruitment immunosuppressive cells, secretion cytokines. Tex may be both reflection cancer progression reason for poor control. The successful outcome current immunotherapies, which include checkpoint blockade adoptive treatment, depends on Tex.

Various inhibitors targeting T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin-containing molecule 3 (TIM3) aimed at reversing exhaustion for better immunotherapy outcomes have demonstrated limited clinical efficacy as monotherapy, with the underlying mechanisms remaining ambiguous. TIM3 is markedly expressed in dendritic cells (DCs), inconsistent research findings on its role myeloid underscore vital function within DCs. Through establishment of an vitro differentiation model generating mature (mDCs) under TIM3-targeted interventions, combined RNA sequencing analysis, this investigation systematically examined TIM3-mediated regulation ligand interactions human primary The indicate that inhibition hinders DC maturation, which subsequently diminishes antigen-presenting capacity DCs, ultimately leading to immune suppression T cells.
