    Abstract Immune responses must be tightly regulated to ensure both optimal protective immunity and tolerance. Costimulatory pathways within the B7:CD28 family provide essential signals for optimal T cell activation and clonal expansion. They provide crucial inhibitory signals that maintain immune homeostasis, control resolution of inflammation, regulate host defense, and promote tolerance to prevent autoimmunity. Tumors and chronic pathogens can exploit these pathways to evade eradication by the immune system. Advances in understanding B7:CD28 pathways have ushered in a new era of immunotherapy with effective drugs to treat cancer, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, and transplant rejection. Here, we discuss current understanding of the mechanisms underlying the coinhibitory functions of CTLA-4, PD-1, PD-L1:B7-1 and PD-L2:RGMb interactions and less studied B7 family members, including HHLA2, VISTA, BTNL2, and BTN3A1, as well as their overlapping and unique roles in regulating immune responses, and the therapeutic potential of these insights.

    Abstract Autoantibodies against thyroid proteins are present in several thyroid diseases. Thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) is a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that binds to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and stimulates production of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). When agonized by anti-TSHR autoantibodies, aberrant production of thyroid hormone can lead to Graves' Disease (GD). In Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), anti-TSHR autoantibodies target the thyroid for immune attack. To better understand the role of anti-TSHR antibodies in thyroid disease, we generated a set of rat antimouse (m)TSHR monoclonal antibodies with a range of affinities, blocking of TSH, and agonist activity. These antibodies could be used to investigate the etiology and therapy of thyroid disease in mouse models and as building blocks in protein therapeutics that target the thyroid for treatment in either HT or GD.

    Abstract Blockade of the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway has proven to be a broadly effective cancer immunotherapy. FDA-approved therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting the pathway have high affinity, blocking capacity, and low antibody effector activity. A number of rat antimouse mAbs have been used to model cancer immunotherapy in mouse models. We set forth the amino acid sequences of mAbs specific for mouse PD-1 (29F.1A12) and PD-L1 (10F.9G2) and compare their avidities, blocking capacities, biological activities, and epitope recognition with other commonly used mAbs. Further manipulation of these sequences should facilitate better modeling of immunotherapy in mouse models and the generation of novel agents.

    Abstract Identifying the mechanisms underlying the regulation of immune checkpoint molecules and the therapeutic impact of targeting them in cancer is critical. Here we show that high expression of the immune checkpoint B7-H3 (CD276) and high mTORC1 activity correlate with immunosuppressive phenotypes and worse clinical outcomes in 11,060 TCGA human tumors. We find that mTORC1 upregulates B7-H3 expression via direct phosphorylation of the transcription factor YY2 by p70 S6 kinase. Inhibition of B7-H3 suppresses mTORC1-hyperactive tumor growth via an immune-mediated mechanism involving increased T-cell activity and IFN-γ responses coupled with increased tumor cell expression of MHC-II.

    Abstract V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) is a B7 family member that maintains T cell and myeloid quiescence and is a promising target for combination cancer immunotherapy. During inflammatory challenges, VISTA activity reprograms macrophages towards reduced production of proinflammatory cytokines and increased production of interleukin (IL)-10 and other anti-inflammatory mediators. The interaction of VISTA with its ligands is regulated by pH, and the acidic pH ~6.0 in the tumor microenvironment (TME) facilitates VISTA binding to P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1). Targeting intratumoral pH might be a way to reduce the immunoinhibitory activity of the VISTA pathway and enhance antitumor immune responses. We review differences among VISTA therapeutics under development as candidate immunotherapies, focusing on VISTA binding partners and the unique structural features of this interaction.

    Abstract The interaction of programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PDL1) with its receptor programmed cell death 1 (PD1) inhibits T cell responses, and blockade of this interaction has proven to be an effective immunotherapy for several different cancers. PDL1 can be expressed on the surface of tumour cells, immune cells and other cells in the tumour microenvironment but is also found in extracellular forms. Recent studies have explored the importance of different forms of extracellular PDL1, such as on exosomes or as a freely soluble protein, and have shown that PDL1-expressing exosomes can inhibit antitumour immune responses. In patients with melanoma, exosomal PDL1 is also a marker of immune activation early after initiation of therapy with PD1-blocking antibodies and predicts a clinical response to PD1 blockade. In this Progress article, we highlight recent insights into the role of exosomal PDL1 in immune oncology and how it may be useful as a biomarker for the management of cancer or to define a subset of patients who would benefit from therapeutics that block exosome production.

    Abstract Activation of the cGAS/STING innate immunity pathway is essential and effective for anti-tumor immunotherapy. However, it remains largely elusive how tumor-intrinsic cGAS signaling is suppressed to facilitate tumorigenesis by escaping immune surveillance. Here, we report that the protein arginine methyltransferase, PRMT1, methylates cGAS at the conserved Arg133 residue, which prevents cGAS dimerization and suppresses the cGAS/STING signaling in cancer cells. Notably, genetic or pharmaceutical ablation of PRMT1 leads to activation of cGAS/STING-dependent DNA sensing signaling, and robustly elevates the transcription of type I and II interferon response genes. As such, PRMT1 inhibition elevates tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in a cGAS-dependent manner, and promotes tumoral PD-L1 expression. Thus, combination therapy of PRMT1 inhibitor with anti-PD-1 antibody augments the anti-tumor therapeutic efficacy in vivo. Our study therefore defines the PRMT1/cGAS/PD-L1 regulatory axis as a critical factor in determining immune surveillance efficacy, which serves as a promising therapeutic target for boosting tumor immunity.
