118 10741704 The detection of tumor-specific T cells in immunized cancer patients usually relies on lengthy and difficult CTL assays; we now report on flow cytometry to detect the intracellular cytokines interleukin 2 (IL-2), IL-4, IFN-gamma, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) produced by CD4+CD69+ and CD8+CD69+ activated T cells after MUC1 antigen stimulation.
119 10741704 After stimulation in vitro with MUC1-variable number of tandem repeats peptides, CD8+CD69+ T cells from all immunized patients generated 3-9 times higher levels of TNF-alpha(P < 0.038) and IFN-gamma (P <0.010) than did cells from 12 normal subjects; minor increases in IL-4 occurred.
120 10741704 By contrast, CD4+CD69+ cells showed no overall alteration in TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma cytokine production, although in some patients, their measurement was informative; the measurement of IL-2 was not useful in either CD4+CD69+ or CD8+CD69+ cells.
121 10741704 We conclude that in MUC1-immunized patients, the measurement of TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma in activated CD69+CD8+ T cells may be indicative of their immune status.

241 11726134 Analysis of transduced DC cultures generated from a number of donors revealed MUC1 expression in the range of 27-54% of the cells and a co-regulated secretion of bioactive IL-2.
242 11726134 As shown by FACS analysis with MUCI-specific antibodies, the MVA-MUC1/IL-2-transduced DC predominantly expressed the fully processed glycoform of MUC1, typical of that displayed by normal epithelia.
243 11726134 The MVA-MUC1/IL-2 vector effectively transduced both immature and TNF-alpha-matured DC.

316 12686724 Among those signaling pathways, activation of NF-kappaB leads to up-regulation of IL-1beta, IL-8 and TNF-alpha, mucin MUC2 and Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), whereas activation of p38 MAP kinase mediates not only up-regulation of inflammatory mediators and mucin MUC5AC but also down-regulation of TLR2.
317 12686724 Interestingly, NTHi-induced activation of the PI3K-Akt pathway, however, leads to inhibition of p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase.
318 12686724 Moreover, the TGF-beta-Smad signaling pathway cooperates with NF-kappaB to mediate up-regulation of mucin MUC2.

393 15365776 Using CD80+ KS breast cancer cells and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A*02-matched peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of breast cancer patients in allogeneic mixed lymphocyte-tumor cell cultures (MLTCs), it was possible to isolate HLA-A*02-restricted cytotoxic T cells (CTLs).
394 15365776 KS breast cancer cells were demonstrated to express already known TAAs such as CEA, MUC-1, MAGE-1, MAGE-2, and MAGE-3.

417 16396151 Key advances have included: (1) recognition of the critical role of the antigen-presenting cell and greatly improved understanding of antigen processing and presentation, including the molecular interactions between HLA molecules and antigenic epitopes on the antigen-processing cell and the receptors on T cells, and (2) the roles of costimulatory molecules such as B7.1, ICAM-1, and LFA-3 in the induction and maintenance of an immune response.

534 19550341 Effective anti-tumor responses induced by recombinant bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccines based on different tandem repeats of MUC1 and GM-CSF.
535 19550341 In this study, we constructed several novel breast cancer vaccines, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-MUC1 variable-number tandem repeats (VNTR) 1/4/8-CSF, that consist of BCG and express 1, 4, and 8 of the tandem repeats of MUC1 and human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF).
536 19550341 We also found that CD4-positive and CD8-positive lymphocytes were detected only in tumors grown in rBCG-MVNTR4/8-CSF-immunized animals, and strong IFN-gamma responses were induced by immunization with rBCG-MVNTR4-CSF and rBCG-MVNTR8-CSF vaccines.
537 19877891 A novel Bacillus Calmette-Guérin-based breast cancer vaccine that coexpresses multiple tandem repeats of MUC1 and CD80 breaks the immune tolerance and inhibits MUC1-positive breast cancer growth.

539 19877891 In addition, CD4 and CD8-positive lymphocytes in tumors from rBCG-MVNTR4-CD80-immunized animals were detected.
540 19877891 These data showed that rBCG-MVNTR4-CD80 immunization elicited tumor-specific immune response, which closely related with the B7 molecule (CD80), indicating that the vaccine may be a good candidate for MUC1-positive breast cancer immunotherapy.

550 20463811 Galectin-9/TIM-3 interaction regulates virus-specific primary and memory CD8 T cell response.
551 20463811 In this communication, we demonstrate that galectin (Gal)-9 acts to constrain CD8(+) T cell immunity to Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) infection.
552 20463811 Interestingly, infusion of normal infected mice with alpha-lactose, the sugar that binds to the carbohydrate-binding domain of Gal-9 limiting its engagement of T cell immunoglobulin and mucin (TIM-3) receptors, also caused a more elevated and higher quality CD8(+) T cell response to HSV particularly in the acute phase.
553 20463811 The mechanisms responsible for the outcome of the Gal-9/TIM-3 interaction in normal infected mice involved direct inhibitory effects on TIM-3(+) CD8(+) T effector cells as well as the promotion of Foxp3(+) regulatory T cell activity.

621 21765403 Although the majority of HIV-specific CD8(+) T cells lose proliferative capacity during chronic infection, T cells restricted by HLA-B*27 or HLA-B*57 allele groups do not.
622 21765403 This differential sensitivity of HIV-specific CD8(+) T cells to T(reg) cell-mediated suppression correlates with their expression of the inhibitory receptor T cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain 3 (Tim-3) after stimulation with their cognate epitopes.
623 21765403 Furthermore, we show that HLA-B*27- and HLA-B*57-restricted effectors also evade T(reg) cell-mediated suppression by directly killing T(reg) cells they encounter in a granzyme B (GzmB)-dependent manner.
624 22052881 T cell immunoglobulin and mucin protein-3 (Tim-3)/Galectin-9 interaction regulates influenza A virus-specific humoral and CD8 T-cell responses.
625 22052881 We show that compared with wild type (WT), galectin-9 knockout (G9KO) mice mounted a more robust acute phase virus-specific CD8 T-cell response as well as higher and more rapid virus-specific serum IgM, IgG, and IgA responses and also cleared virus more rapidly than did WT mice.

630 22438246 Galectin-9 binding to Tim-3 renders activated human CD4+ T cells less susceptible to HIV-1 infection.
631 22438246 Galectin-9 (Gal-9) is a tandem repeat-type member of the galectin family and is a ligand for T-cell immunoglobulin mucin domain 3 (Tim-3), a type-I glycoprotein that is persistently expressed on dysfunctional T cells during chronic infection.
632 22438246 Here we show that soluble Gal-9 interacts with Tim-3 expressed on the surface of activated CD4(+) T cells and renders them less susceptible to HIV-1 infection and replication.
633 22438246 The Gal-9/Tim-3 interaction on activated CD4(+) T cells, leads to down-regulation of HIV-1 coreceptors and up-regulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 (also known as cip-1 and waf-1).
634 22438246 These data demonstrate a novel mechanism for Gal-9/Tim-3 interactions to induce resistance of activated CD4(+) T cells to HIV-1 infection and suggest that Gal-9 may play a role in HIV-1 pathogenesis and could be used as a novel microbicide to prevent HIV-1 infection.

636 22443647 In the adjuvant setting, gefitinib has not been shown to improve patient survival outcomes; however, there are several ongoing clinical trials in the adjuvant setting evaluating the role of erlotinib, bevacizumab, and the MAGE-A3 and MUC1 vaccines.
637 22443647 Several ongoing clinical trials in both the metastatic and adjuvant settings are studying the excision repair cross-complementing group 1 (ERCC1) protein, the ribonucleotide reductase subunit 1 (RRM1) protein, thymidylate synthase, and BRCA1 as predictors of chemotherapy response.
638 22918925 These include liposomal BLP25 vaccine (L-BLP25), which targets mucin 1, and melanoma-associated antigen 3 (MAGE-A3) antigen-specific cancer immunotherapeutic (ASCI), which targets MAGE-A3, a peptide expressed almost exclusively on tumour cells.
639 23023583 To examine the immunogenicity of authentic cancer derived MUC1 glyco-epitopes, we expressed membrane bound forms of MUC1 tandem repeats in Jurkat, a mutant cancer cell line deficient of mucin-type core-1 β1-3 galactosyltransferase activity, and immunized mice with cancer cells expressing authentic MUC1 glyco-epitopes.
640 23090901 The vaccines each consisted of a peptide or glycopeptide antigen that corresponds to a complete copy of the variable-number tandem repeat (VNTR) of the tumor-associated mucin 1 (MUC1) glycoprotein, the universal T-cell helper peptide epitope PADRE, and the immunoadjuvant Pam(3)CysSer.
641 23133440 Infective trypomastigotes up-regulate the expression of laminin γ-1 (LAMC1) and thrombospondin (THBS1) to facilitate the recruitment of trypomastigotes to enhance cellular infection.
642 23133440 Silencing the expression of LAMC1 and THBS1 by stable RNAi dramatically reduces trypanosome infection.
643 23133440 T. cruzi gp83, a ligand that mediates the attachment of trypanosomes to cells to initiate infection, up-regulates LAMC1 expression to enhance cellular infection.
644 23133440 Infective trypomastigotes use Tc85 to interact with laminin, p45 mucin to interact with LAMC1 through galectin-3 (LGALS3), a human lectin, and calreticulin (TcCRT) to interact with TSB1 to enhance cellular infection.
645 23143694 Combined blockade of TIM-3 and TIM-4 augments cancer vaccine efficacy against established melanomas.
646 23143694 In this study, we show that novel monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specifically targeting either T cell immunoglobulin mucin protein-3 (TIM-3) or T cell immunoglobulin mucin protein-4 (TIM-4) enhance the therapeutic effects of vaccination against established B16 murine melanomas.
647 23143694 TIM-3 blockade mainly stimulated antitumor effector activities via natural killer cell-dependent mechanisms, while CD8(+) T cells served as the main effectors induced by anti-TIM-4 mAb.
648 23143694 Our findings reveal that therapeutic manipulation of TIM-3 and TIM-4 may provide a novel strategy for improving the clinical efficacy of cancer immunotherapy.
649 23267892 [Prediction of WT1/MUC1 peptide dendritic cell therapy responders by quantification of ex vivo induced mRNA in whole blood].
650 23267892 To challenge this classic problem, we quantified 17 different leukocyte function-associated mRNAs( IFN-γ,TNFSF1, TNFSF2, TNFSF5, IL-10, TGF β,CTLA4, PD1, FOXP3, GMCSF, VEGF, IL-8, CCL8, CXCL3, and IL-2) in whole blood after ex vivo stimulation with 7 different agents(PHA, HAG, zymosan, IFN-γ,rIL-2, aTCR, and picibanil) to activate various subsets of leukocytes.
651 23267892 The clinical outcomes for WT1 peptide-and/or MUC1 peptide-pulsed dendritic cell therapy for advanced cancer (n=26) were CR+PR, 4 cases; SD, 9 cases; and PD, 13 cases.

654 23267892 The clinical outcomes for WT1 peptide-and/or MUC1 peptide-pulsed dendritic cell therapy for advanced cancer (n=26) were CR+PR, 4 cases; SD, 9 cases; and PD, 13 cases.
655 23499521 Tim-3 alters the balance of IL-12/IL-23 and drives TH17 cells: role in hepatitis B vaccine failure during hepatitis C infection.
656 23499521 In this study, we investigated the role of T cell immunoglobulin mucin domain-3 (Tim-3)-mediated immune regulation in HBV vaccine responses during HCV infection.
657 23499521 We found that Tim-3, a marker for T cell exhaustion, was over-expressed on monocytes, leading to a differential regulation of IL-12/IL-23 production which in turn TH17 cell accumulation, in HCV-infected HBV vaccine non-responders compared to HCV-infected HBV vaccine responders or healthy subjects (HS).
658 23499521 Importantly, ex vivo blockade of Tim-3 signaling corrected the imbalance of IL-12/IL-23 as well as the IL-17 bias observed in HBV vaccine non-responders during HCV infection.
659 23536695 C57BL/6 (resistant to infection), AKR (susceptible to infection), interleukin 10 (IL-10) knockout (KO), and mucin Muc2 KO mice were infected with T. muris and treated orally with probiotic JB-1 or medium.
660 23555011 Combined TLR2- and TLR4-activated DC/tumor overcame immune-suppressive effect of TGF-β1 in comparison to those single activated or un-activated DC/tumor as demonstrated by: 1) up-regulation of MHC class II and CD86 expression on DC/tumor; 2) increased fusion efficiency; 3) increased production of fusions derived IL-12p70; 4) activation of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells that produce high levels of IFN-γ; 5) augmented induction of CTL activity specific for MUC1; and 6) superior efficacy in inhibiting CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) T cell generation.
661 23633115 We further investigated several MUC1-related molecules of the β-catenin pathway, and found that the expression of MUC1 decreased the translocation of β-catenin into the nucleus, reduced the activity of T cell factor (TCF) and blocked the expression of cyclin D1 and c-Myc.
662 23657083 A randomized phase II study of immunization with dendritic cells modified with poxvectors encoding CEA and MUC1 compared with the same poxvectors plus GM-CSF for resected metastatic colorectal cancer.
663 23717436 Treatment of whole tumor cells with ethanol resulted in blockade of immune-suppressive soluble factors such as transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, vascular endothelial growth factor, and IL-10 without decreased expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and the MUC1 tumor-associated antigen.
664 23717436 Moreover, the ethanol-treated tumor cells expressed "eat-me" signals such as calreticulin (CRT) on the cell surface and released immunostimulatory factors such as heat shock protein (HSP)90α and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1).
665 23739295 Placental gp96 activated HER2- and MUC1-specific T cell responses through binding to tumor-associated antigens.
666 23827311 Interaction of this protozoan parasite with the intestine is mediated through the binding of the trophozoite stage to intestinal mucin and epithelium via a galactose and N-acetyl-d-galactosamine (Gal/GalNAc) lectin comprised of a disulfide linked heavy (ca. 180 kDa) and light chain (ca. 35 kDa) and a noncovalently bound intermediate subunit (ca. 150 kDa).
667 23867519 In contrast, the poxvirus vaccine TG4010 produces an antigenic response to MUC1, a cell surface glycoprotein that reduces cell-cell interactions and thereby precludes contact inhibition.
668 24076409 Urease, BabA and SabA in the adhesion-step, PGN and LPS in the immune evasion-step, and CagA, VacA and Tipα in the mucosal damage-step were documented to play an important role in step-specific pathogenicity of H. pylori infection.
669 24076409 There is evidence further supporting a role of potentially functional polymorphisms of host genes directly responding to these pathogenic step-specific virulence factors in the susceptibility of gastric carcinogenesis, especially for urease-interacting HLA class II genes, BabA-interacting MUC1, PGN-interacting NOD1, LPS-interacting TLR4, and CagA-interacting PTPN11 and CDH1.
670 24300078 At termination, interferon gamma (IFN-γ)/interleukin-4 (IL-4) ELISpot analysis for MUC1 specific T-cell immune response and histopathological evaluations of tumor type and grade were performed.
671 24367164 Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2/neu), mucin 1 (MUC-1), and human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) are some of the most studied antigens actively being targeted for vaccination in breast cancer patients.
672 24378623 The data suggested that DDA/MPL-adjuvant MUC-1 VPP vaccine may be developed into effective tumor vaccines for melanomas and possibly for other tumors expressing MUC1 protein.
673 24416403 After synthesis MUC1 is cleaved, yielding a large soluble extracellular alpha subunit containing the tandem repeats array (TRA) domain specifically bound, via non-covalent interaction, to a smaller beta subunit containing the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains.
674 24478066 EatA, an immunogenic protective antigen of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, degrades intestinal mucin.
675 24491092 First, breast cancers express multiple putative tumor-associated antigens, such as HER-2 and MUC-1, which have been the successful focus of vaccine development over the past decade, translating into tumor-specific immune responses and, in some cases, clinical benefit.
676 24534824 Pancreatic cancer counterattack: MUC4 mediates Fas-independent apoptosis of antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte.
677 24534824 Tumor-associated MUC4 mucin has considerable potential as an immunotherapy target for pancreatic cancer.
678 24534824 By utilizing appropriate control to rule out the possible apoptosis-induced pathway of intrinsic activated cell-autonomous death (ACAD) and analogous antigen-dependent apoptosis of CTL (ADAC) in our study system, further analysis of the effect of MUC4 membrane-expression, supernatants and blockade of CTL surface Fas receptor on MS-CTL apoptosis was carried out.
679 24534824 The results demonstrated that the level of MUC4 membrane expression strongly positively correlated with MS-CTL apoptosis and the influence of supernatants and Fas-blockade did not significantly correlate with MS-CTL apoptosis.
680 24534824 This evidence suggested that there may be a novel counterattack pathway of pancreatic cancer cells, which is a MUC4-mediated, cell contact-dependent and Fas-independent process, to induce CTL apoptosis.
681 24648154 Targeting DNGR-1 (CLEC9A) with antibody/MUC1 peptide conjugates as a vaccine for carcinomas.
682 24648154 In addition, we also show, using PBMCs isolated from healthy volunteer blood, that target an MUC1 HLA-A2 epitope to human DNGR-1 in vitro can induce an MUC1-specific CD8(+) -T-cell response, which confirms the relevance of our in vivo murine results in the human setting.
683 24648154 Targeting DNGR-1 (CLEC9A) with antibody/MUC1 peptide conjugates as a vaccine for carcinomas.
684 24648154 In addition, we also show, using PBMCs isolated from healthy volunteer blood, that target an MUC1 HLA-A2 epitope to human DNGR-1 in vitro can induce an MUC1-specific CD8(+) -T-cell response, which confirms the relevance of our in vivo murine results in the human setting.
685 24793154 The increased proportion of T regs and high expression of Foxp3 and CTLA-4 on lung cancer cells and tumour infiltrating lymphocytes were observed.
686 24793154 Other components of immune response inhibition and tumour promotion are: Th17 cell population, M2 macrophage polarisation, the presence of myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and a significantly elevated concentration of cytokines: TGF-b and IL-10 in the tumour microenvironment.
687 24793154 Lung cancer immunotherapy has two main directions: the first goal is to improve the cytotoxic effect (for example by inhibition of CTLA-4, stimulation of dendritic cell function, inhibition of lymphocyte apoptosis), and the second way is the production of anti-cancer vaccines using known cancer antigens: MAGE A3, MUC1, EGF and TGF-b.
688 24850311 The most used cancer serum biomarker is the CA125 immunoassay for ovarian cancer that detects the mucin glycoprotein MUC16.
689 24867051 Here, clinical trials of HER-2/neu B and T cells, MUC1 and hTERT cancer peptide vaccines are also presented.
690 24890740 Immune and anticancer responses elicited by fully synthetic aberrantly glycosylated MUC1 tripartite vaccines modified by a TLR2 or TLR9 agonist.
691 25093517 The effect of glycosylation on the antibody recognition of a MUC2 mucin epitope.
692 25093517 We have been studying the epitope structure of the MUC2 by focusing on the repeat unit with the mucin peptide specific MAb 996 monoclonal antibody.

695 25168392 We used an orthotopic renal carcinoma model to evaluate the impact of injection routes on therapeutic efficacy of a Modified Vaccinia virus Ankara viral vector expressing the human mucin 1 tumor-associated xeno-antigen (MVA-MUC1).
696 25168392 This appears to result in a faster generation of MUC1-specific CD8(+) T cells.
697 25168392 Lymphocytes infiltrating tumor-bearing kidneys are characterized by an effector memory phenotype and express PD-1 and Tim3 immune checkpoint molecules.
698 25168392 We used an orthotopic renal carcinoma model to evaluate the impact of injection routes on therapeutic efficacy of a Modified Vaccinia virus Ankara viral vector expressing the human mucin 1 tumor-associated xeno-antigen (MVA-MUC1).
699 25168392 This appears to result in a faster generation of MUC1-specific CD8(+) T cells.
700 25168392 Lymphocytes infiltrating tumor-bearing kidneys are characterized by an effector memory phenotype and express PD-1 and Tim3 immune checkpoint molecules.
701 25207460 Next, the first immune-activating anticytotoxic lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) antibody ipilimumab exhibiting 'immune checkpoint blockade' was approved by FDA and European Medical Agency (EMA) for the treatment of patients with metastatic melanoma.
702 25207460 New generations of immune checkpoint blockading antibodies targeting programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1) are now under intense investigation in metastatic melanoma (MM) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and impressive clinical results are anticipated.
703 25210718 The present work probes the interactions between Lactococcus lactis and mucins using pig gastric mucin (PGM) as a model.
704 25230936 The performance of mucin-like domain fragments of GP (GP mucin) expressed in Escherichia coli was compared to that of GP ectodomains produced in eukaryotic cells.
705 25279150 Induction of HLA-A*33-restricted cytotoxic lymphocytes against renal cell carcinoma targeting galectin 9 and PINCH.
706 25279150 Galectin 9, a ligand of T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (TIM-3), and PINCH, an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-promoting molecule, are expressed at much higher levels in cancerous lesions of clear cell type renal cell carcinoma (RCC) compared to normal renal tissues, and their expression levels are extremely low in normal tissues, except for galectin 9 in the spleen.
707 25279150 Galectin 9- and PINCH-derived peptides have previously been shown to induce human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A*2402-restricted and HLA-A*0201-restricted cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTLs) with specific and highly cytotoxic activities toward RCC cells.
708 25335717 [Efficacy of WT1 peptide-/MUC-1 peptide-pulsed dendritic cell therapy in 313 patients with a wide range of cancers].
709 25335717 We assessed the efficacy of Wilms' tumor protein-1(WT1)peptide and/or mucin 1(MUC-1)peptide-pulsed dendritic cell(DC)therapy for a wide range of advanced cancers.This retrospective study included 313 patients with advanced cancer who were vaccinated ≥5 times in our clinic between May 2009 and October 2013.T he clinical response was evaluated.This treatment was approved by the ethics panel of our institution.A total of 313 patients were injected an average of 6.0 times with DCs(2.4×10 / 7 cells/injection).Overall, 292 of the 313(93%)patients obtained clinical benefit according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors(RECIST), version 1.1.
710 25335717 [Efficacy of WT1 peptide-/MUC-1 peptide-pulsed dendritic cell therapy in 313 patients with a wide range of cancers].

712 25348621 Expansion of dysfunctional Tim-3-expressing effector memory CD8+ T cells during simian immunodeficiency virus infection in rhesus macaques.
713 25348621 The T cell Ig- and mucin domain-containing molecule-3 (Tim-3) negative immune checkpoint receptor demarcates functionally exhausted CD8(+) T cells arising from chronic stimulation in viral infections like HIV.
714 25348621 Tim-3 blockade leads to improved antiviral CD8(+) T cell responses in vitro and, therefore, represents a novel intervention strategy to restore T cell function in vivo and protect from disease progression.
715 25348621 We report that Tim-3(+)CD8(+) T cell frequencies are significantly increased in lymph nodes, but not in peripheral blood, in SIV-infected animals.
716 25348621 Tim-3(+)PD-1(+)CD8(+) T cells are similarly increased during SIV infection and positively correlate with SIV plasma viremia.
717 25348621 Tim-3 expression was found primarily on effector memory CD8(+) T cells in all tissues examined.
718 25348621 Tim-3(+)CD8(+) T cells have lower Ki-67 content and minimal cytokine responses to SIV compared with Tim-3(-)CD8(+) T cells.
719 25348621 During acute-phase SIV replication, Tim-3 expression peaked on SIV-specific CD8(+) T cells by 2 wk postinfection and then rapidly diminished, irrespective of mutational escape of cognate Ag, suggesting non-TCR-driven mechanisms for Tim-3 expression.
720 25348621 Thus, rhesus Tim-3 in SIV infection partially mimics human Tim-3 in HIV infection and may serve as a novel model for targeted studies focused on rejuvenating HIV-specific CD8(+) T cell responses.
721 25496030 This phase I/II study assessed the safety, immunity and clinical response to 6 or 12 bi-weekly intradermal ImMucin vaccines, co-administered with human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor to 15 MUC1-positive multiple myeloma (MM) patients, with residual or biochemically progressive disease following autologous stem cell transplantation.
722 25496030 ImMucin vaccination induced a robust increase in γ-interferon (IFN-γ-producing CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells (≤80-fold), a pronounced population of ImMucin multimer CD8+ T-cells (>2%), a 9·4-fold increase in peripheral blood mononuclear cells proliferation and 6·8-fold increase in anti-ImMucin antibodies, accompanied with T-cell and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity.
723 25526950 Endoscopy was used to administer intratumoral injections of dendritic cells (DCs) targeting synthesized peptides of Wilms tumor 1 (WT1) and mucin 1, cell-surface associated (MUC1).
724 25526950 An immunohistochemical analysis of the tumor samples indicated positivity for WT1 and MUC1.
725 25526950 Endoscopy was used to administer intratumoral injections of dendritic cells (DCs) targeting synthesized peptides of Wilms tumor 1 (WT1) and mucin 1, cell-surface associated (MUC1).

727 25614966 An IL-27/NFIL3 signalling axis drives Tim-3 and IL-10 expression and T-cell dysfunction.
728 25614966 The inhibitory receptor T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-3 (Tim-3) has emerged as a critical regulator of the T-cell dysfunction that develops in chronic viral infections and cancers.
729 25614966 Here, we demonstrate that interleukin (IL)-27 induces nuclear factor, interleukin 3 regulated (NFIL3), which promotes permissive chromatin remodelling of the Tim-3 locus and induces Tim-3 expression together with the immunosuppressive cytokine IL-10.
730 25614966 We further show that the IL-27/NFIL3 signalling axis is crucial for the induction of Tim-3 in vivo.
731 25614966 In contrast, tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes from IL-27R(-/-) mice exhibit reduced NFIL3, less Tim-3 expression and failure to develop dysfunctional phenotype, resulting in better tumour growth control.
732 25614966 Thus, our data identify an IL-27/NFIL3 signalling axis as a key regulator of effector T-cell responses via induction of Tim-3, IL-10 and T-cell dysfunction.
733 25623216 In this review, we discuss some of the most promising non-virus-associated prophylactic vaccines that target endogenous neoantigens, including the earliest oncogene products, altered mucin 1 (MUC1) and α-enolase (ENO1), all of which produce new targets in the earliest stages of nonviral-induced tumorigenesis.
734 25712927 On the other hand, TleA was capable of degrading bovine submaxillary mucin and leukocyte surface glycoproteins CD45 and P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1).
735 25754202 PEM did not change the overall numbers of CD4 T cells in BCG-vaccinated animals but resulted in an almost complete loss of antigen-specific cytokine production.
736 25754202 Furthermore, there was a change in cytokine expression characterized by a gradual loss of multifunctional antigen-specific CD4 T cells and an increased proportion of effector cells expressing gamma interferon and tumor necrosis factor alpha (IFN-γ(+) TNF-α(+) and IFN-γ(+) cells).
737 25754202 PEM during M. tuberculosis infection completely blocked the protection afforded by the H56-CAF01 subunit vaccine, and this was associated with a very substantial loss of the interleukin-2-positive memory CD4 T cells promoted by this vaccine.
738 25754202 Similarly, PEM during the vaccination phase markedly reduced the H56-CAF01 vaccine response, influencing all cytokine-producing CD4 T cell subsets, with the exception of CD4 T cells positive for TNF-α only.
739 25754202 PEM did not change the overall numbers of CD4 T cells in BCG-vaccinated animals but resulted in an almost complete loss of antigen-specific cytokine production.
740 25754202 Furthermore, there was a change in cytokine expression characterized by a gradual loss of multifunctional antigen-specific CD4 T cells and an increased proportion of effector cells expressing gamma interferon and tumor necrosis factor alpha (IFN-γ(+) TNF-α(+) and IFN-γ(+) cells).
741 25754202 PEM during M. tuberculosis infection completely blocked the protection afforded by the H56-CAF01 subunit vaccine, and this was associated with a very substantial loss of the interleukin-2-positive memory CD4 T cells promoted by this vaccine.
742 25754202 Similarly, PEM during the vaccination phase markedly reduced the H56-CAF01 vaccine response, influencing all cytokine-producing CD4 T cell subsets, with the exception of CD4 T cells positive for TNF-α only.

744 25754202 Furthermore, there was a change in cytokine expression characterized by a gradual loss of multifunctional antigen-specific CD4 T cells and an increased proportion of effector cells expressing gamma interferon and tumor necrosis factor alpha (IFN-γ(+) TNF-α(+) and IFN-γ(+) cells).
745 25754202 PEM during M. tuberculosis infection completely blocked the protection afforded by the H56-CAF01 subunit vaccine, and this was associated with a very substantial loss of the interleukin-2-positive memory CD4 T cells promoted by this vaccine.
746 25754202 Similarly, PEM during the vaccination phase markedly reduced the H56-CAF01 vaccine response, influencing all cytokine-producing CD4 T cell subsets, with the exception of CD4 T cells positive for TNF-α only.
747 25755023 Although several strategies have been developed to explore anti-tumor vaccines based on MUC1 glycopeptides, only few studies have focused on vaccines directed against the tumor-associated MUC4 glycoprotein.
748 25760439 In recent years, a critical role for β-galactoside-binding protein, Galectin-9 (Gal-9) has emerged in infectious disease, autoimmunity, and cancer.
749 25760439 It is a ligand for T cell immunoglobulin mucin domain 3 (Tim-3), a type-I glycoprotein that is persistently expressed on dysfunctional T cells during chronic viral infections.
750 25760439 Interaction of soluble Gal-9 with Tim-3 expressed on the surface of activated CD4+ T cells renders them less susceptible to HIV-1 infection, while enhanced HIV infection occurs when Gal-9 interacts with a different receptor than Tim-3.
751 25806276 Immune checkpoint therapies include the monoclonal antibody blockade of the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) with ipilimumab, as well as antibody blockade of the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) receptor and the PD-1 ligand.
752 25806276 In lung cancer, these include the melanoma-associated antigen-A3 (MAGE-A3), membrane-associated glycoprotein (MUC-1), and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).
753 25806280 Proof of principle phase I/II clinical trials targeting the MAGE-A3 and MUC1 tumor antigens, as well as cell-based vaccines such as belagenpumatucel-L have suggested improved survival, leading to larger scale phase III clinical trials.
754 25870800 It is accomplished by M2 macrophage polarization, the activity of myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and a significantly elevated concentration of cytokines: transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) and IL-10 in the tumor microenvironment.
755 25870800 Very active suppression of immune protection is the predominant role of the programmed death 1 (PD-1)-PD-L1 pathway.
756 25870800 Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is the molecule capable of inhibiting the activation signal.
757 25870800 The second way in lung cancer immunotherapy is production of anti-cancer vaccines using recognized cancer antigens: MAGE-A3, membrane associated glycoprotein (MUC-1), and EGF.
758 25966778 In this study, we describe a method to induce an antitumour immune response in mononuclear cell (MNC) cultures from colorectal cancer patients using DNA-transfected DCs encoding TAA epitopes of carcinoembryonic antigen, epithelial cell adhesion molecule and mucin 4.
759 25977598 Our data indicate that the MUC expression by RSV and hMPV differs significantly, as we observed a stronger induction of MUC8, MUC15, MUC20, MUC21, and MUC22 by RSV infection while the expression of MUC1, MUC2, and MUC5B was dominated by the infection with hMPV.

762 26211834 Tim-3 and Tim-4 as the potential targets for antitumor therapy.
763 26211834 Both Tim-3 and Tim-4 belong to the T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain (Tim) gene family, which plays a critical role in immunoregulation.
764 26211834 Recently, data from experimental models of tumor discovered that Tim-3 and Tim-4 up-regulation on tumor associated dendritic cells and macrophages attenuated the anti-tumor effects of cancer vaccines and chemotherapy.
765 26211834 Moreover, co-blockage of Tim-3 and PD-1, Tim-3 and CD137, Tim-3 and carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1) could enhance cell-mediated immunity in advanced tumor, and combined treatment with anti-Tim-3 and anti-Tim-4 mAbs further increase the efficacy of cancer vaccines.
766 26211834 The therapeutic manipulation of TIM-3 and TIM-4 may provide a novel strategy to improve the clinical efficacy of cancer immunotherapy.
767 26232492 Compared with placebo, belagenpumatucel-L (an allogenic tumor cell vaccine), tecemotide (a peptide vaccine targeting MUC-1) and melanoma-associated antigen-A3 (a protein-based vaccine) did not improve outcomes in NSCLC.
768 26247926 In the current study we demonstrate that a cytotoxic T cell epitope from the mucin 1 (MUC1) tumour associated antigen, when delivered by TAT or Antp, generates identical immune responses in mice resulting in specific MUC1 T cell responses as measured by in vivo CTL assays, IFNγ ELISpot assays and prophylactic tumour protection.
769 26267898 One VHH specific for GI.1 and three specific for GII.4 could block the binding of homologous VLPs to synthetic HBGA carbohydrates, saliva, and pig gastric mucin, and in addition, could inhibit the hemagglutination of red blood cells by homologous VLPs.
770 26344888 In addition to SRH and HI assays, the technical advantages provided by other techniques such as the VN assay, pseudotype-based neutralization assay, neuraminidase and cell-mediated immunity assays need to be considered and regulated via EMA criteria, considering the many significant advantages that they could offer for the development of effective vaccines.

775 26374823 Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), MUC1, and brachyury are diverse TAAs, each of which is expressed on a wide range of human tumors.
776 26374823 Ad5 [E1-, E2b-]-CEA vaccine (ETBX-011) has been employed in clinical studies as an active vaccine to induce immune responses to CEA in metastatic colorectal cancer patients.
777 26374823 We report here the development of novel recombinant Ad5 [E1-, E2b-]-brachyury and-MUC1 vaccine constructs, each capable of activating antigen-specific human T cells in vitro and inducing antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in vaccinated mice.
778 26374823 We also describe the use of a combination of the three vaccines (designated Tri-Ad5) of Ad5 [E1-, E2b-]-CEA, Ad5 [E1-, E2b-]-brachyury and Ad5 [E1-, E2b-]-MUC1, and demonstrate that there is minimal to no "antigenic competition" in in vitro studies of human dendritic cells, or in murine vaccination studies.
