    Abstract Immunogenic cell death of tumors, caused by chemotherapy or irradiation, can trigger tumor-specific T cell responses by releasing danger-associated molecular patterns and inducing the production of type I interferon. Immunotherapies, including checkpoint inhibition, primarily rely on preexisting tumor-specific T cells to unfold a therapeutic effect. Thus, synergistic therapeutic approaches that exploit immunogenic cell death as an intrinsic anti-cancer vaccine may improve their responsiveness. However, the spectrum of immunogenic factors released by cells under therapy-induced stress remains incompletely characterized, especially regarding extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs, nano-scale membranous particles emitted from virtually all cells, are considered to facilitate intercellular communication and, in cancer, have been shown to mediate cross-priming against tumor antigens. To assess the immunogenic effect of EVs derived from tumors under various conditions, adaptable, scalable, and valid methods are sought-for. Therefore, herein a relatively easy and robust approach is presented to assess EVs' in vivo immunogenicity. The protocol is based on flow cytometry analysis of splenic T cells after in vivo immunization of mice with EVs, isolated by precipitation-based assays from tumor cell cultures under therapy or steady-state conditions. For example, this work shows that oxaliplatin exposure of B16-OVA murine melanoma cells resulted in the release of immunogenic EVs that can mediate the activation of tumor-reactive cytotoxic T cells. Hence, screening of EVs via in vivo immunization and flow cytometry identifies conditions under which immunogenic EVs can emerge. Identifying conditions of immunogenic EV release provides an essential prerequisite to testing EVs' therapeutic efficacy against cancer and exploring the underlying molecular mechanisms to ultimately unveil new insights into EVs' role in cancer immunology.

    Abstract Unraveling the complexities of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and its correlation with responsiveness to immunotherapy has become a main focus in overcoming resistance to such treatments. Targeting tumor-intrinsic retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I), a sensor for viral RNA, was shown to transform the TME from an immunogenically "cold" state to an inflamed, "hot" lesion, which we demonstrated previously to be a crucial mediator of the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibition with anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4). In this study, we focus on the chimeric oncolytic virus vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-Newcastle disease virus (NDV), comprised of genetic components of VSV and NDV, and we investigate its utility to support tumor-intrinsic RIG-I-dependent therapy with anti-CTLA-4. Overall, we demonstrate that treatment with VSV-NDV efficiently delays tumor growth and significantly prolongs survival in a murine model of malignant melanoma, which was further enhanced in combination with anti-CTLA-4. Although the direct oncolytic and pro-inflammatory effects of VSV-NDV therapy were independent of RIG-I activation, the synergism with anti-CTLA-4 therapy and associated activation of tumor-specific T cells was critically dependent on active RIG-I signaling in tumor cells. This work highlights the therapeutic value of utilizing an immune-stimulatory oncolytic virus to sensitize tumors to immune checkpoint inhibition.

    Abstract The innate immune system has evolved as a first line of defense against invading pathogens and acts via classes of germline-encoded receptor systems to respond with proinflammatory cytokines. Innate immune cells, predominantly cells of the myeloid compartment, are capable of providing a potent basis for boosting adaptive immunity in malignant diseases. The authors review their current understanding of the molecular mechanisms whereby innate pattern recognition receptors participate in immunosurveillance of cancer cells. They discuss how innate effector mechanisms are currently being targeted pharmacologically and how improved understanding of the biology of these pathways is leading to novel immunotherapies of cancer.

    Abstract Immunogenic cancer therapies, including radiation and hypomethylating agents, such as 5-azacytidine, rely on tumor cell-intrinsic activation of the RNA receptor RIG-I for their synergism with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Possible RIG-I ligands are small nuclear RNA (snRNA) and endogenous retroviral elements (ERV) leaking from the nucleus during programmed cell death.

    Title translation CXCR4-gerichtete Theranostics in der Hämato-Onkologie: Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen.
    Abstract C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) is overexpressed in a multitude of cancers, including neoplasms of hematopoietic origin. This feature can be leveraged by a theranostic approach, which provides a read-out of the actual CXCR4 expression in vivo, followed by CXCR4-targeted radioligand therapy (RLT) exerting anti-cancer as well as myeloablative efficacy. In a recent meeting of hematooncology and nuclear medicine specialists, statements on the current clinical practice and future perspectives of this innovative concept were proposed and summarized in this opinion article. Experts concluded that i) CXCR4-directed [68Ga]Ga-PentixaFor PET/CT has the potential to improve imaging for patients with marginal zone lymphoma; ii) CXCR4-targeted RLT exerts anti-lymphoma efficacy and myeloablative effects in patients with advanced, treatment-refractory T-cell lymphomas; iii) prospective trials with CXCR4-based imaging and theranostics are warranted.
