Abstract
Signaling through the TNF-family receptor Fas/CD95 can trigger apoptosis or non-apoptotic cellular responses and is essential for protection from autoimmunity. Receptor clustering has been observed following interaction with Fas ligand (FasL), but the stoichiometry of Fas, particularly when triggered by membrane-bound FasL, the only form of FasL competent at inducing programmed cell death, is not known. Here we used super-resolution microscopy to study the behavior of single molecules of Fas/CD95 on the plasma membrane after interaction of Fas with FasL on planar lipid bilayers. We observed rapid formation of Fas protein superclusters containing more than 20 receptors after interactions with membrane-bound FasL. Fluorescence correlation imaging demonstrated recruitment of FADD dependent on an intact Fas death domain, with lipid raft association playing a secondary role. Flow-cytometric FRET analysis confirmed these results, and also showed that some Fas clustering can occur in the absence of FADD and caspase-8. Point mutations in the Fas death domain associated with autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) completely disrupted Fas reorganization and FADD recruitment, confirming structure-based predictions of the critical role that these residues play in Fas–Fas and Fas–FADD interactions. Finally, we showed that induction of apoptosis correlated with the ability to form superclusters and recruit FADD.

Abstract
Tissue resident memory T cells (Trm) are critical for local protection against reinfection. The accumulation of T cells in the tissues requires a post-priming signal from TNFR superfamily members, referred to as signal 4. Glucocorticoid-induced TNFR-related protein (GITR; TNFRSF18) signaling is important for this post-priming signal and for Trm formation during respiratory infection with influenza virus. As GITR signaling impacts both effector T cell accumulation and Trm formation, we asked if GITR differentially affects subsets of effector cells with different memory potential. Effector CD4+ T cells can be subdivided into 2 populations based on expression of lymphocyte antigen 6C (Ly6C), whereas effector CD8+ cells can be divided into 3 populations based on Ly6C and CX3CR1. The Ly6Chi and CX3CR1hi T cell populations represent the most differentiated effector T cells. Upon transfer, the Ly6Clo CD4+ effector T cells preferentially enter the lung parenchyma, compared to the Ly6Chi CD4+ T cells. We show that GITR had a similar effect on the accumulation of both the Ly6Chi and Ly6Clo CD4+ T cell subsets. In contrast, whereas GITR increased the accumulation of all three CD8+ T cell subsets defined by CX3CR1 and Ly6C expression, it had a more substantial effect on the least differentiated Ly6Clo CX3CR1lo subset. Moreover, GITR selectively up-regulated CXCR6 on the less differentiated CX3CR1lo CD8+ T cell subsets and induced a small but significant increase in CD127 selectively on the Ly6Clo CD4+ T cell subset. Thus, GITR contributes to accumulation of both differentiated effector cells as well as memory precursors, but with some differences between subsets.

Abstract
The TNFR superfamily of receptors, the major focus of the recent TNFR Superfamily Conference held in June 2019, employ the TNFR-associated factor (TRAF) family of adaptor proteins in key aspects of their signaling pathways. Although many early studies investigated TRAF functions via exogenous overexpression in nonhematopoietic cell lines, it has subsequently become clear that whereas TRAFs share some overlap in function, each also plays unique biologic roles, that can be highly context dependent. This brief review summarizes the current state of knowledge of functions of each of the TRAF molecules that mediate important functions in T lymphocytes: TRAFs 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6. Due to our current appreciation of the contextual nature of TRAF function, our focus is upon findings made specifically in T lymphocytes. Key T cell functions for each TRAF are detailed, as well as future knowledge gaps of interest and importance.

Abstract
Lymph nodes (LNs) are crucial for the orchestration of immune responses. LN reactions depend on interactions between incoming and local immune cells, and stromal cells. To mediate these cellular interactions an organized vascular network within the LN exists. In general, the LN vasculature can be divided into two components: blood vessels, which include the specialized high endothelial venules that recruit lymphocytes from the bloodstream, and lymphatic vessels. Signaling via TNF receptor (R) superfamily (SF) members has been implicated as crucial for the development and function of LNs and the LN vasculature. In recent years the role of cell-specific signaling of TNFRSF members in different endothelial cell (EC) subsets and their roles in development and maintenance of lymphoid organs has been elucidated. Here, we discuss recent insights into EC-specific TNFRSF member signaling and highlight its importance in different EC subsets in LN organogenesis and function during health, and in lymphocyte activation and tertiary lymphoid structure formation during inflammation.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) associated factor 1 (TRAF1) is a signaling adaptor first identified as part of the TNFR2 signaling complex. TRAF1 plays a key role in pro-survival signaling downstream of TNFR superfamily members such as TNFR2, LMP1, 4-1BB, and CD40. Recent studies have uncovered another role for TRAF1, independent of its role in TNFR superfamily signaling, in negatively regulating Toll-like receptor and Nod-like receptor signaling, through sequestering the linear ubiquitin assembly complex, LUBAC. TRAF1 has diverse roles in human disease. TRAF1 is overexpressed in many B cell related cancers and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TRAF1 have been linked to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Genome wide association studies have identified an association between SNPs in the 5' untranslated region of the TRAF1 gene with increased incidence and severity of rheumatoid arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. The loss of TRAF1 from chronically stimulated CD8 T cells results in desensitization of the 4-1BB signaling pathway, thereby contributing to T cell exhaustion during chronic infection. These apparently opposing roles of TRAF1 as both a positive and negative regulator of immune signaling have led to some confusion in the literature. Here we review the role of TRAF1 as a positive and negative regulator in different signaling pathways. Then we discuss the role of TRAF1 in human disease, attempting to reconcile seemingly contradictory roles based on current knowledge of TRAF1 signaling and biology. We also discuss avenues for future research to further clarify the impact of TRAF1 in human disease.

Abstract
Immunotherapy is reportedly effective in a subset of colorectal cancers (CRCs) with high microsatellite instability (MSI-H). Exploring the expression patterns and clinical values of immunologic molecules is critical in defining the specific responsive candidates. Here, we performed comprehensive molecular profiling of the B7 and TNFR family genes across 6 CRC datasets with over 1,000 patients’ details using cBioPortal TCGA data. About 20% of patients had B7 and TNFR family gene alterations. The frequency of B7 gene mutations (2.2%–5%) were similar to copy number alterations (0.53%–5.46%). TNFR amplifications were relatively more common (5.45–11.32%) than that of B7 (0.09–2.73%). B7 and TNFR gene mRNAs were upregulated in 26% of cases (102/379) and 16% of cases (61/379), respectively. The mRNA levels of B7 and TNFR genes were inversely correlated with promoter methylation status. Clinically, both B7-H3 and TNFSF7 mRNA overexpression were associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes, and the B7-H3 expression was increased gradually in cases with gene amplifications. Moreover, patients with MSI-H had significantly higher PD-L1 or PD-1 expression. Most importantly, in MSI-H group, patients with PD-L1 or PD-1 upregulation had poorer survivals than those with PD-L1/PD-1 downregulation. This is the first study drawing the immune landscapes of the co-stimulator B7 and TNFR families in CRC and showing that MSI-H patients with PD-1/PD-L1 upregulation are associated with poor clinical outcomes, providing potential markers to stratify patients responsive to immune checkpoint therapy.

Abstract
We have developed a technology for efficiently enhancing the anticancer apoptosis-inducing activity of agonistic antibodies against the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily by the formation of immunoliposomes. To induce apoptosis in cancer cells, agonistic antibodies to the TNFR superfamily normally need cross-linking by internal immune effector cells via the Fc region after binding to receptors on the cell membrane. To develop apoptosis-inducing antibodies that do not require the support of cross-linking by immune cells, we prepared immunoliposomes conjugated with TRA-8, an agonistic antibody against death receptor 5 (DR5), with various densities of antibody on the liposome surface, and evaluated their activities. The TRA-8 immunoliposomes exhibited apoptosis-inducing activity against various DR5-positive human carcinoma cells at a significantly lower concentration without cross-linking than that of the original TRA-8 and its natural ligand (TRAIL). The activity of the immunoliposomes was correlated with the density of antibodies on the surface. As the antibody component, not only the full-length antibody but also the Fab' fragment could be used, and the TRA-8 Fab' immunoliposomes also showed exceedingly high activity compared with the parental antibody, namely, TRA-8. Moreover, cytotoxicity of the TRA-8 full-length or Fab' immunoliposome against normal cells, such as human primary hepatocytes, was lower than that for TRAIL. Enhanced activity was also observed for immunoliposomes conjugated with other apoptosis-inducing antibodies against other receptors of the TNFR superfamily, such as death receptor 4 (DR4) and Fas. Thus, immunoliposomes are promising as a new modality that could exhibit significant activity at a low dose, for cost-effective application of an antibody fragment and with stable efficacy independent of the intratumoral environment of patients as a TNF superfamily agonistic therapy.

Abstract
The B7 family and tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily play a vital role in the T-cell co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory pathways, regulating T-cell activation, tolerance, and exhaustion; therapeutic modulation of these pathways is translated into effective new cancer treatments. Better understanding of the immune molecular landscapes of the B7 and TNFR families would guide head and neck immuno-oncology clinical research. We performed comprehensive molecular profiling of 10 B7 and 6 TNFR family members in head and neck cancer. Over 20% of patients had B7 and TNFR gene alterations. B7 gene amplifications were relatively more common (3-11%) than TNFR gene amplifications (0-5%). Analysis of 496 sequenced samples revealed that all genes were upregulated: B7 and TNFR mRNA were upregulated in 158 cases (> 30%) and 83 cases (∼15%), respectively. B7-H1 (PD-L1) mRNA upregulation was the most common (∼10%). Promoter methylation analysis indicated an epigenetic basis for B7 and TNFR gene regulation (especially B7-H1, which was relatively strongly correlated with promoter methylation). B7-H1 expression was significantly associated with worse overall survival, and its expression was increased in cases with gene amplifications. Human papillomavirus (HPV) status correlated significantly with B7-H1 alterations at genetic level. Almost half (47.1%) of HPV-negative patients had deep or shallow B7-H1 deletion; >90% of HPV-positive patients had diploid, copy number gain, or amplification of B7-H1. This is the first study elucidating the immune molecular landscapes of the B7 and TNFR families in head and neck cancer, providing a potential novel rationale for clinical investigations.

Abstract
Since their discovery, antibodies have been viewed as ideal candidates or "magic bullets" for use in targeted therapy in the fields of cancer, autoimmunity, and chronic inflammatory disorders. A wave of antibody-dedicated research followed, which resulted in the clinical approval of a first generation of monoclonal antibodies for cancer therapy such as rituximab (1997) and cetuximab (2004), and infliximab (2002) for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. More recently, the development of antibodies that prevent checkpoint-mediated inhibition of T cell responses invigorated the field of cancer immunotherapy. Such antibodies induced unprecedented long-term remissions in patients with advanced stage malignancies, most notably melanoma and lung cancer, that do not respond to conventional therapies. In this review, we will recapitulate the development of antibody-based therapy, and detail recent advances and new functions, particularly in the field of cancer immunotherapy. With the advent of recombinant DNA engineering, a number of rationally designed molecular formats of antibodies and antibody-derived agents have become available, and we will discuss various molecular formats including antibodies with improved effector functions, bispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, antibody-cytokine fusion proteins, and T cells genetically modified with chimeric antigen receptors. With these exciting advances, new antibody-based treatment options will likely enter clinical practice and pave the way toward more successful control of malignant diseases.

Abstract
Manipulation of co-stimulatory or co-inhibitory checkpoint proteins allows for the reversal of tumor-induced T-cell anergy observed in cancer. The field has gained credence given success with CTLA-4 and PD-1 inhibitors. These molecules include immunoglobulin family members and the B7 subfamily as well as the TNF receptor family members. PD-L1 inhibitors and LAG-3 inhibitors have progressed through clinical trials. Other B7 family members have shown promise in preclinical models. TNFR superfamily members have shown variable success in preclinical and clinical studies. As clinical investigation in tumor immunology gains momentum, the next stage becomes learning how to combine checkpoint inhibitors and agonists with each other as well as with traditional chemotherapeutic agents.
