    Abstract Immune checkpoint PD-1 and its ligand PD-L1 lead to T cell exhaustion, and a high level of circulating soluble PD-L1 at baseline indicates a poor prognosis in melanoma and other solid tumor types. Here we show that the dynamic changes of circulating soluble PD-1 and PD-L1 across the course of immune checkpoint blockades (ICBs) and their changes associate with patient survival in melanoma in a retrospective study. A high change of soluble PD-L1 level at a time-point but not PD-1 significantly increased the mortality, whereas a high change of soluble PD-1/PD-L1 ratio significantly reduced the mortality. After the initial immunotherapy, both soluble PD-1 and PD-L1 increased. However, the change pattern of soluble PD-L1 level was particularly dependent on patients' survival status. These findings indicate that the magnitudes of circulating soluble PD-L1 and PD-1/PD-L1 ratio changes over the time may reflect the patients' response to ICBs or the progression of the disease and predict the survival in melanoma patients treated with ICBs.

    Abstract The nutrient status of the tumor microenvironment has major impacts on cell growth. Under nutrient depletion, asparagine synthetase (ASNS)-mediated asparagine production increases to sustain cell survival. G protein-coupled estrogen receptor-1 (GPER1) signaling converges via cAMP/PI3K/AKT with KRAS signaling to regulate

    Abstract Background: Current antiretroviral therapy (ART) cannot cure HIV-1 infection due to the presence of latent viral reservoirs. The "shock and kill" strategy is a promising approach to eliminate the viral reservoir. However, there are various limits existing in current latency-reversing agents, searching for new activators are urgently needed.
    Objective: The present study aimed at investigating the ability of hymecromone and scoparone for activating HIV-1 from latent reservoirs.
    Methods: Jurkat T cell model of HIV-1 latently were used to evaluate the effect of hymecromone and scoparone. The percentage of green florescence protein expression as a marker for reactivation of HIV-1 promoter was measured via FACScan. The expression of CD25 and CD69 in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells was measured by flow cytometry at 72 h post-treatment with hymecromone or scoparone or prostratin using antibodies against CD25 and CD69.
    Results: Hymecromone and scoparone can induce HIV-1 LTR reactivation in a dose and timedependent. We further show that hymecromone and scoparone can reactivate latent virus without inducing the activation of global T cells. We also found that scoparone acts by NF-κB signal pathway.
    Conclusion: Hymecromone and scoparone can effectively reactivate latent HIV-1 with low cellular toxicity, indicating hymecromone and scoparone might be potential drugs for HIV-1 reservoir eradication strategies in the future.
