Summary Dendritic cell (DC) ‐based cancer immunotherapy is one of the most important anti‐cancer immunotherapies, and has been associated with variable efficiencies in different cancer types. It is well‐known that tumor microenvironment plays a key role in the efficacy of various immunotherapies such as DC vaccine. Accordingly, the expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD‐L1) on DCs, which interacts with PD‐1 on T cells, leads to inhibition of anti‐tumor responses following presentation of tumor antigens by DCs to T cells. Therefore, we hypothesized that down‐regulation of PD‐L1 in DCs in association with silencing of PD‐1 on T cells may lead to the enhancement of T‐cell priming by DCs to have efficient anti‐tumor T‐cell responses. In this study, we silenced the expression of PD‐L1 in DCs and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD‐1) in T cells by small interfering RNA (siRNA) ‐loaded chitosan–dextran sulfate nanoparticles (NPs) and evaluated the DC phenotypic and functional characteristics and T‐cell functions following tumor antigen recognition on DCs, ex vivo. Our results showed that synthesized NPs had good physicochemical characteristics (size 77·5 nm and zeta potential of 14·3) that were associated with efficient cellular uptake and target gene silencing. Moreover, PD‐L1 silencing was associated with stimulatory characteristics of DCs. On the other hand, presentation of tumor antigens by PD‐L1‐negative DCs to PD‐1‐silenced T cells led to induction of potent T‐cell responses. Our findings imply that PD‐L1‐silenced DCs can be considered as a potent immunotherapeutic approach in combination with PD‐1‐siRNA loaded NPs, however; further in vivo investigation is required in animal models.

“…There are studies suggesting that chemokines such as CCL3 and CCL4, secreted by the very B-CLL clone, are capable to recruit T regs, in order to ensure a proximate source of survival signals [40]. The precise role played by T regs in B-CLL is not fully elucidated, but recent studies prove that CD4+ T regs have the capacity to inhibit policlonal B cells and effector T cells, downregulating the anti-tumoral response in B-CLL [41]. CD8+ T cells are found to be increased in our patient group whenever the clinical manifestations are present.…”

Traffic of tumor-and normal cells through the peripheral blood (PB) of patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) to the lymph nodes (LN) or spleen/ liver sites is governed by specific changes in CCR7, CXCR5, CXCR3, CCR4, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD27, CD28, CD45RA, CD25, CD127, CD38 was also report a significant increase in the frequency of total T cells and T cell subsets (effector-and central memory CD4+ T cells, regulatory T cells, follicular T helper cells, distinct functional CD8+ T cells) with the occurrence of specific clinical manifestations.

“…Lack of response in this small analysis can be attributed to suboptimal dosing and duration of therapy. Additionally, CD4+ and CD8+ regulatory T cells are positively correlated with disease progression in CLL and likely function to suppress T cell expansion induced by blinatumomab, thereby constituting a potential mechanism of resistance to therapy [45]. We are unaware of any currently available blinatumomab trials enrolling patients with CLL or MZL.…”

Introduction The approval of blinatumomab signals the long awaited arrival of immunotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Previous options for relapsed or refractory disease were restricted to combination cytotoxic chemotherapy with limited efficacy and significant toxicity. Through an innovative mechanism of action, blinatumomab stimulates a polyclonal antitumor T cell response, yielding unprecedented single agent efficacy in the relapsed/refractory setting. Success comes at the cost of immunological toxicities rarely encountered with previous therapies and challenging administration logistics requiring clinical expertise. Areas covered All published clinical and preclinical studies using blinatumomab were reviewed in addition to all registered ongoing clinical trials and data published in abstract form. The search was limited to the English language. The pharmacology, clinical efficacy, toxicity profile, and logistical considerations for drug administration are discussed. Expert Opinion Blinatumomab is an exciting addition to the treatment armamentarium for relapsed/refractory ALL, yet several questions remain regarding optimal implementation into the current treatment paradigm. A unique toxicity profile should be weighed against promising benefits in a poor prognosis population. Other emerging therapies, such as chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cells and inotuzumab ozogamicin, with different side effect profiles and administration schedules, may prove to be more beneficial for specific patient populations.
