The immune-related role of beta-2-microglobulin in melanoma

Abstract: Despite the remarkable success of immunotherapy in the treatment of melanoma, resistance to these agents still affects patient prognosis and response to therapies. Beta-2-microglobulin (β2M), an important subunit of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I, has important biological functions and roles in tumor immunity. In recent years, increasing studies have shown that B2M gene deficiency can inhibit MHC class I antigen presentation and lead to cancer immune evasion by affecting β2M expression. Based o… Show more

“…B16 melanoma cell line with endogenous expression of MHC-I (WT B16) and with loss of MHC-I through B2m gene deletion (B2m -/- B16) were utilized. Removal of MHC-I, a ligand for inhibitory Ly49 receptors on mouse NK cells, is an established approach to induce NK cell activation ( 24 ). However, loss of MHC-I did not significantly alter number or size of metastatic foci in the lungs, which may be because B16 cells endogenously express very low levels of MHC-I ( Figures 1A–C , Figure S1 ) ( 25 ).…”

“…Melanoma is widely recognized as one of the most immunogenic human cancer types and a strong correlation between the infiltration of T cells, both in primary lesions and in melanoma metastases, and clinical outcome has been described 51 53 . We, therefore, perform scSpace to reconstruct the pseudo-space of cells in melanoma scRNA-seq data generated by Tirosh et al 31 and further identify the spatial heterogeneity of 2064T cells.…”

“…B2MG excretion increases when the renal tubules are damaged, so B2MG may be a promising biomarker for AKI. 63,64 The urinary levels of B2MG showed good accuracy in diagnosing AKI in pediatric emergency centers. 65 In fact, B2MG is valuable for early diagnosis of nAKI.…”

“…B2MG passes freely through the glomerulus and is completely reabsorbed by the proximal renal tubules. B2M excretion increases when the renal tubules are damaged, so B2MG may be a promising biomarker for AKI 64,65 . The urinary levels of B2MG showed good accuracy in diagnosing AKI in pediatric emergency centers 66 .…”
