MYC inhibition reprograms tumor immune microenvironment by recruiting T lymphocytes and activating the CD40/CD40L system in osteosarcoma.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy depends on sufficient infiltration and activation of primed tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in the tumor microenvironment. However, many tumor types, including osteosarcoma, mainly display immune-desert or immune-excluded phenotypes, which are characterized by a lack of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and a poor response to ICB monotherapy. Thus, novel therapeutic strategies are urgently needed to surmount these obstacles. In this study, we found that the expression of the c-Myc oncogene is negatively correlated with the T cell infiltration rate in osteosarcoma. Pharmacological inhibition of c-Myc with JQ-1 significantly reduced tumor burden and improved overall survival in an immunocompetent syngeneic murine model of osteosarcoma (K7M2). A mechanistic study revealed that JQ-1 administration dramatically reprogrammed the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) within K7M2 tumors. On the one hand, JQ-1 can promote T cell trafficking into tumors by increasing the expression and secretion of T cell-recruiting chemokines. On the other hand, JQ-1 is capable of facilitating crosstalk between antigen-presenting dendritic cells and T cells through the CD40/CD40L costimulatory pathway, leading to activation of tumor-specific CTLs. Combined treatment with anti-PD-1 antibody and JQ-1 resulted in more pronounced tumor regression than either monotherapy, showing an obvious synergistic effect. These findings uncover for the first time that c-Myc inhibition can promote T cell infiltration and activation in osteosarcoma in multiple ways, delivering a one-two punch for modulating TIME. The present work also provides the basis for establishing c-Myc inhibitor and ICB coadministration as a novel therapeutic regimen for patients with osteosarcoma.
