Wei CH, Chen YC, Huang SY. Dynamic changes in γδT cells and bone resorption markers after zoledronic acid in multiple myeloma: A prospective study. J Formos Med Assoc 2024:S0929-6646(24)00314-0. [PMID: 39004539 DOI: 10.1016/j.jfma.2024.07.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2024] [Revised: 07/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
We conducted a prospective evaluation for the dynamic change of γδT cells in peripheral blood (PB) and N-telopeptide of type I collagen in urine (uNTX) of patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma (MM) who underwent their initial treatment with zoledronic acid (ZOA; Zobonic®, TTY, Taiwan). Between March 2012 and November 2015, a total of 35 patients were enrolled, including 25 newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients. The percentage of γδT cells in PB was assessed at 20 days prior to the first ZOA infusion, then at day 8, day 64, and day 85 after the infusion. Simultaneously, uNTX levels were measured as well. Thirty-three patients who had received at least one dose of ZOA were included in subsequent analysis. We identified three dynamic change patterns for γδT cells: fluctuated pattern, continuously increasing pattern, and continuously decreasing pattern. Among NDMM patients, those exhibiting a continuously increasing pattern showed a significantly shorter overall survival compared to those with the other two patterns combined (4.7 months vs. 92.9 months, p = 0.037). For uNTX, which levels significantly decreased following ZOA treatment. In conclusion, our findings reveal three distinct dynamic change patterns for γδT cells after ZOA initiation, with continuously increasing pattern being associated with a poor prognosis. These findings prompt further inquiry into the role of γδT cells in MM patients and support the suppressive nature of γδT cells and their associated tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy moderates the immune system’s ability to fight cancer. Due to its extreme complexity, scientists are working to put together all the puzzle pieces to get a clearer picture of the immune system. Shreds of available evidence show the connection between cancer and the immune system. Immune responses to tumors and lymphoid malignancies are influenced by B cells, γδT cells, NK cells, and dendritic cells (DCs). Cancer immunotherapy, which encompasses adoptive cancer therapy, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), immune checkpoint therapy, and CART cells, has revolutionized contemporary cancer treatment. This article reviews recent developments in immune cell regulation and cancer immunotherapy. Various options are available to treat many diseases, particularly cancer, due to the progress in various immunotherapies, such as monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, vaccinations (both preventative and curative), cellular immunotherapies, and cytokines.

[PMID: 35677612 PMCID: PMC9168146 DOI: 10.1016/j.xpro.2022.101422] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Vγ9Vδ2 T cells are non-canonical T cells that use their T cell receptor to detect phosphoantigens bound to the internal domain of the HMBPP receptor (butyrophilin 3/2A1 complex). This protocol describes the expansion and purification of human effector Vγ9Vδ2 T cells from human buffy coat and describes how to assess their activation by antigen-containing target cells. While specifically focused on cytokine production, this protocol can be readily adapted to evaluate other effector functions of activated Vγ9Vδ2 T cells. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Hsiao et al. (2022) and Hsiao and Wiemer (2018).
