Abstract: A composition comprising BL-8040 (SEQ ID NO: 1) is disclosed herein, which may be for use in treating a condition treatable by BL-8040. The composition further comprises at least one compound characterized by a relative retention time of from 0.86 to 0.88 and/or a relative retention time of from 0.71 to 0.73 (wherein a relative retention time of BL-8040 is 1) under conditions described herein.
Abstract: Provided are chimeric ILT receptors (CIRs) that include a targeting region from ILT2 or ILT4, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular domain (ICD). The ICD includes a signaling region (e.g., CD3 zeta (CD3?)) and optionally a costimulatory region (e.g., CD28, 4-1BB, OX40, and the like). Also provided are nucleic acids (e.g., expression vectors) encoding a subject CIR, and genetically modified cells (e.g., immune cells such as NK cells, T cells, iNKT cells, macrophages, and the like) expressing a subject CIR. For example, provided are genetically modified immune cells such as NK cells that include a nucleic acid encoding an ILT2 or ILT4 CIR. The subject CIRs are designed to activate cytotoxicity by immune cells such as NK cells, T cells, iNKT cells and macrophages against HLA-G expressing cancers.
Abstract: The present invention discloses a pharmaceutical composition comprising azvudine and a chemotherapeutic agent. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention shows a good synergistic effect in antitumor, and can reduce the dosage of chemotherapeutic agent, and improve the therapeutic effect and safety, thereby achieving the goal of prolonging the survival of patients.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a biomarker composition for predicting the prognosis of cancer malignancy induced by exposure to microplastics and use thereof, and more particularly, it was confirmed that the expression level of CD44, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, PD-L1, NPAS2, NR1D1, DNMT1, SLC7A2, PCDH7 and CLDN7 was changed in cancer cell lines and animal models treated with polystyrene microspheres which are the one type of microplastic for 4 weeks, and malignancy was induced due to an increase in proliferation, migration and invasion of cancer cells by the change in the expression level of the gene, and 5-year overall survival rates in gastric cancer patients decreased and thus the genes may be provided as a biomarker composition for predicting the prognosis of cancer malignancies by exposure to microplastics.

Abstract: Methods for selecting a cancer patient for immunotherapy comprise establishing a total passenger gene mutation burden from a tumor of a cancer patient, generating a background distribution for the mutational burden of the tumor, normalizing the total passenger gene mutation burden against the background distribution, and categorizing the cancer patient as an immunotherapy responder when the total passenger gene mutation burden is greater than the mean of the background distribution. When the cancer patient is an immunotherapy responder, the patient may be administered an immunotherapy regimen that comprises activation/inhibition of T cell receptors that promote T cell activation and/or prolong immune cytolytic activities.
Abstract: Disclosed in the present application is a T cell receptor (TCR) capable of specifically recognizes MAGE-A4 antigenic peptide, including a TCR? Polypeptide having at least 90% identity with any one selected from a group consisting of sequences of SEQ ID No: 1 to SEQ ID No: 30 and a TCR? polypeptide having at least 90% identity with any one selected from a group consisting of sequences of SEQ ID No: 31 to SEQ ID No: 60, in which the TCR? polypeptides are in one-to-one correspondence with the TCR? polypeptides in order.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the prognosis of bone metastasis in triple negative (including basal-like) breast cancer or, alternatively, ER+ breast cancer (including luminal A and B) which comprises determining if the c-MAF gene is amplified in a primary tumor sample. Likewise, the invention also relates to a method for determining the tendency to develop bone metastasis with respect to metastasis in other organs, which comprise determining the c-MAF gene expression level, amplification or translocation. The invention also relates to a method for predicting early bone metastasis in a subject suffering breast cancer. The invention also relates to a c-MAF inhibitor as therapeutic agent for use in the treatment of triple negative (including basal-like) breast cancer metastasis or, alternatively, ER+ breast cancer (including luminal A and B) metastasis. The invention relates to kits for predicting bone metastasis and predicting the clinical outcome of a subject suffering from bone metastasis.
