Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) are defined as aggregates formed in non-hematopoietic organs under pathological conditions. Similar to secondary (SLOs), the formation of TLSs relies on interaction between tissue inducer (LTi) cells and organizer (LTo) cells, involving multiple cytokines. Heterogeneity is a distinguishing feature TLSs, which may lead differences their functions. Growing evidence suggests that associated with various diseases, such cancers, autoimmune transplant rejection, chronic inflammation, infection, even ageing. However, detailed mechanisms behind these clinical associations not yet fully understood. The by TLS maturation localization affect immune function also unclear. Therefore, it necessary enhance understanding development at cellular molecular level, allow us utilize them improve microenvironment. In this review, we delve into composition, mechanism, potential therapeutic applications TLSs. Furthermore, discuss implications role markers response prognosis. Finally, summarize methods for detecting targeting Overall, provide comprehensive aim develop more effective strategies.

Anti-tumor immunity, including innate and adaptive immunity is critical in inhibiting tumorigenesis development of tumor. The needs specific lymph organs such as tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs), which are highly correlated with improved survival outcomes many cancers. In recent years, increasing attention on the TLS tumor microenvironment, TLSs have emerged a novel target for anti-tumor therapy. Excitingly, studies shown contribution to immune responses. However, it unclear how form more effectively defense against through formation. Recent that inflammation plays role Interestingly, also found gut microbiota can regulate occurrence inflammation. Therefore, we here summarize potential effects microbiota- mediated or immunosuppression formation environments. Meanwhile, this review explores manipulate mature regulating microbiota/metabolites associated signal pathways potentially lead next-generation cancer immunotherapy.

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) inhibits tumor immune escape and has significantly advanced therapy. However, ICB benefits only a minority of patients treated may lead to many immune-related adverse events. Therefore, identifying factors that can predict treatment outcomes, enhance synergy with ICB, mitigate events is urgently needed. Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are ectopic tissues arise from the periphery. They have been found be associated better prognosis improved clinical outcomes after TLS help address problems ICB. The multiple mechanisms action between remain unknown. This paper described potential interaction two explored their applications.

Abstract Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality worldwide. Despite recent advances in cancer treatment including immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors, new unconventional biomarkers and targets for detection, prognosis, are still high demand. Tumor cells characterized by mutations that allow their unlimited growth, program local microenvironment to support tumor spread towards distant sites. While a major focus has been on altered genomes proteomes, crucial signaling molecules such as lipids have underappreciated. One these membrane phospholipid phosphatidylserine (PS) usually found at cytosolic surfaces cellular membranes but can be rapidly massively shuttled extracellular leaflet plasma during apoptosis serve limiting factor responses. These immunosuppressive interactions exploited evade system.

Introduction The pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-23 (IL-23) has been implicated in colorectal cancer (CRC). Yet, the cell-specific contributions of IL-23 receptor (IL-23R) signaling CRC remain unknown. One cell types that highly expresses IL-23R are colonic regulatory T cells (Treg cells). aim this study was to define contribution Treg sporadic and inflammation-associated CRC. Methods In mice, role colitis-associated (CAC) investigated using azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulphate wild-type reporter mice (WT, Foxp3 YFP-iCre ), harboring a deletion ( Il23r ΔTreg ). examined utilizing orthotopic injection syngeneic colon line MC-38 submucosally into colon/rectum mice. function macrophages studied clodronate.
