    Abstract This research indicates that monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and myeloma may stem from chronic immune activation and inflammation, causing immune dysfunction and spatial immune exclusion. As the conditions progress, a shift toward myeloma involves ongoing immune impairment, affecting both innate and adaptive immunity. Intriguingly, even in advanced myeloma stages, susceptibility to immune effector cells persists. This insight highlights the intricate interplay between immune responses and the development of these conditions, paving the way for potential therapeutic interventions targeting immune modulation in the management of MGUS and myeloma.

    Abstract Natural Killer T (NKT) cells are distinct innate lymphocytes that recognize lipid antigens in the context of nonpolymorphic molecule CD1d. Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy wherein malignant plasma cells express CD1d and are sensitive to lysis by NKT cells. Progressive malignancy in MM is characterized by NKT cell dysfunction. Several studies have tried to harness the anti-tumor properties of NKT cells in MM to mediate tumor regression. NKT cells are also attractive targets for approaches at immune redirection in MM with chimeric-antigen receptor NKT (CAR-NKT) and bispecific antibodies. In addition to the commonly studied invariant-NKT (iNKT) cells, MM patients often also exhibit alterations in type-II NKT cells and their ligands. In patients and mouse models with Gaucher disease (GD), an inherited lipid-storage disorder with markedly increased risk for MM, distinct type-II NKT cells exhibit a T-follicular helper (NKT-TFH) phenotype and provide help to lipid-specific B cells. Chronic immune activation in this setting eventually sets the stage for malignancy, which can be targeted in both mouse models and GD patients by reducing the underlying antigen. NKT cells are thus integrally linked to MM pathogenesis and an attractive target for MM immunotherapy.

    Abstract Newer immune-based approaches based on recruitment and redirection of endogenous and/or synthetic immunity such as chimeric antigen-receptor-T (CAR-T) cells or bispecific antibodies are transforming the clinical management of multiple myeloma (MM). Contributions of the immune system to the anti-tumor effects of myeloma therapies are also increasingly appreciated. Clinical malignancy in MM originates in the setting of systemic immune alterations that begin early in myelomagenesis and regional changes in immunity impacted by spatial contexture. Pre-existing and therapy-induced changes in immune cells correlate with outcomes in MM patients including following immune therapies. Here we discuss insights from and limitation of current data about immune status and outcomes following immune therapies in MM patients. Pre-existing variation in systemic and/or regional immunity is emerging as a major determinant of the efficacy of current immune therapies as well as vaccines. MM is however a multifocal malignancy. As with solid tumors, integrating spatial aspects of the tumor and consideration of immune targets with biology of immune cells may be critical to optimize the application of immune therapy including T cell redirection in MM. We propose 5 distinct spatial immune types of MM- immune-depleted, immune-permissive, immune-excluded, immune-suppressed, and immune-resistant, that may provide an initial framework for optimal application of specific immune therapies in MM. Such considerations may also help optimize rational patient selection for emerging immune therapies to improve outcomes.

    Abstract Immune-based approaches including T-cell redirection have transformed the therapeutic landscape in myeloma. Injection of dendritic cells (DC) led to the induction of immune responses in vaccinated patients with myeloma. These studies pave the way for future combination strategies harnessing DCs to enhance tumor immunity and improve outcomes in myeloma. See related article by Freeman et al., p. 4575.

    Abstract Multiple myeloma (MM) and its precursor monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) are distinct disorders that likely originate in the setting of chronic immune activation. Evolution of these lesions is impacted by cross-talk with both innate and adaptive immune systems of the host. Harnessing the immune system may, therefore, be an attractive strategy to prevent clinical malignancy. While clinical MM is characterized by both regional and systemic immune suppression and paresis, immune-based approaches, particularly redirecting T cells have shown remarkable efficacy in MM patients. Optimal application and sequencing of these new immune therapies and their integration into clinical MM management may depend on the underlying immune status, in turn impacted by host, tumor, and environmental features. Immune therapies carry the potential to achieve durable unmaintained responses and cures in MM.

    Abstract Blockade of immune checkpoints has transformed the therapy of several cancers. However, immune-related adverse events (irAEs) have emerged as a major challenge limiting the clinical application of this approach. B cells are recognized as major players in the pathogenesis of human autoimmunity and have been successfully targeted to treat these disorders. While T cells have been extensively studied as therapeutic targets of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), these checkpoints also impact B cell tolerance. Blockade of immune checkpoints in the clinic is associated with distinct changes in the B cell compartment that correlate with the development of irAEs. In this review, we focus on the possible role of humoral immunity, specifically human B cell subsets and autoantibodies in the pathogenesis of ICB-induced irAEs. There remains an unmet need to better understand the T:B cell cross talk underlying the activation of pathogenic B cells and the development of ICB-induced irAEs. Such studies may identify new targets or approaches to prevent or treat irAEs and improve the application of ICB therapy in cancer.

    Abstract Genetically engineered T cells have shown promising activity in the treatment of cancer. However, these cells are also potentially susceptible to immune-suppressive pathways in the tumor microenvironment that may limit their efficacy. In this issue of the JCI, Yamamoto et al. describe a new cellular engineering approach to prevent Fas-mediated inhibition of T cell function, which may be exploited to improve cellular therapy for cancer.
