Abstract It has been suggested that Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) may differentially impact tumor immune responses according to microsatellite instability (MSI) status in colorectal cancers (CRCs). We aimed to reveal the detailed relationship between intratumoral Fn and immune microenvironmental features in MSI-high CRCs. A total of 126 MSI-high CRCs were subjected to analyses for intratumoral Fn DNA load using quantitative PCR and for densities of tumor-infiltrating immune cells,...
Abstract Dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccines are recognized as a promising immunotherapeutic strategy against cancer; however, the efficacy of immunotherapy with DCs is controlled via immune checkpoints, such as programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1). PD-L1 expressed on DC and tumor cells binds to programmed death-1 (PD-1) receptors on the activated T cells, which leads to the inhibition of cytotoxic T cells. Blocking of PD-L1 on DC may lead to improve the efficacy of DC therapy for...
Abstract Purpose An improved understanding of RCC immunology should shed further light on RCC tumor biology.

Summary Chemoresistance has become a leading cause of mortality in breast cancer patients and is one of the major obstacles for improving the clinical outcome. Long noncoding RNAs play important roles in breast cancer tumorigenesis and chemoresistance. However, the involvement and regulation of lncRNAs in breast cancer chemoresistance are not completely understood. Here, we reported that Linc00839 was localized in the nucleus and upregulated in chemoresistant BC cells and tissues, and high level...
Abstract The rapid spread of COVID‐19 represented the most serious issue to public health globally. Hematological patients as immunocompromised hosts are vulnerable to SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. There is rare information available regarding the clinical features of hematological patients concomitant with COVID‐19. In this study, 9 concomitant patients were analyzed for their clinical manifestations, the laboratory data, radiological findings and immunologic features. The median age was 50 years (range,...
Abstract Cancer treatment with a fluoropyrimidine (FP) is often accompanied by severe toxicity that may be dependent on the activity of catalytic enzymes encoded by the DPYD , DPYS and UPB1 genes. Genotype‐guided dose individualization of FP therapy has been proposed in Western countries, but our knowledge of the relevant genetic variants in East Asian populations is presently limited. To investigate the association between these genetic variations and FP‐related high toxicity in a Japanese population,...
Abstract Although next‐generation sequencing‐based panel testing is well‐practiced in the field of cancer medicine for the identification of target molecules in solid tumors, the clinical utility and clinical issues surrounding panel testing in hematological malignancies have yet to be fully evaluated.
