    Proposed model of the immune response mechanisms to Trypanosoma cruzi in the mouse colon, integrating our findings with prior studies ① Infected smooth muscle cells release trypomastigotes into the surrounding colonic tissue. ② Trypomastigotes are phagocytosed by macrophages. ③ After 18–24 hs post-internalization, amastigotes are released into the cytoplasm, where they replicate and synthesize proteins that are presented on the macrophage surface. ④ CD8 + and CD4 + T cells recognize T. cruzi peptides presented by MHC complexes. ⑤ Upon activation, CD8 + T cells secrete granzyme A and multiple cytokines. ⑥ Granzyme A -containing granules may enter parasite-infected smooth muscle cells through pores formed by perforin-1 (PRF1; secreted by NK cells), contributing to cell death. ⑦ Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) may promote macrophage polarization to an M1 phenotype by inducing the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2). This enzyme subsequently oxidizes arginine to produce nitric oxide, which may contribute to parasite killing. ⑧ Activated CD4 + T cells can differentiate into Th and Tfh cells that produce Interleukin-4 (IL-4) and Interleukin-13 (IL-13) [⑨], which in turn induce M2 macrophage polarization. ⑩ C-C Motif Ligand 5 (CCL5) could further support M2 macrophage polarization via arginase I (ARG1) upregulation, promoting polyamines associated with parasite multiplication and persistence. ⑪ Amastigotes differentiate into trypomastigotes, completing the cycle by infecting naive smooth muscle cells.

(H) Flow cytometric analysis of IFN-γ production by tumor-infiltrating CD4 + and CD8 + T cells. (I) Flow cytometric analysis of TNF-α production by tumor-infiltrating CD4 + and CD8 + T cells. Student t-test was performed for comparison between the two groups. Two-way ANOVA was used for multiple comparisons. Data are mean ± SEM (n = 5). ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, ns = not significant.

    Combinational treatment of BOLT and anti-CTLA-4 blockade enhances anti-tumor immune response in B16 melanoma. (A) C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously injected with 1 × 10 5 B16 melanoma cells on day 0 to induce tumors. On day 7, mice were randomly divided into groups and treated with either BOLT alone (intratumoral injection administered on alternate days starting from day 7), anti-CTLA-4 (intraperitoneal injection administered on days 9, 11, 13, and 15), or a combination of both treatments. PBS was used as a vehicle Control, while IgG was used as anti-CTLA-4 Control. Tumor growth was monitored throughout the treatment period, and tumors were harvested for analysis on day 21. (B-C) Tumor growth curves and area under the curve (AUC) analysis for WT mice treated with BOLT, with or without anti-CTLA-4 antibody, following subcutaneous injection of B16 melanoma cells. Tumor growth was monitored, and analysis was conducted on day 21. (D) Representative images of excised tumors at day 21, showed reduced tumor size in combination-treated mice.
