Translational strategy to support the first-in-human study of a TCR-like T cell bispecific with an in vitro-based safety approach.

The nonclinical development of T-cell receptor (TCR)-based therapeutics is uniquely challenged by the human-exclusive specificity of the peptide-HLA target, rendering conventional animal models unsuitable for safety assessment. To support first-in-human (FIH) studies in patients with solid tumors with the novel TCR-like T Cell Bispecific (TCB) antibody MAGE-A4-TCB, targeting the MAGE-A4 peptide presented by HLA-A*02:01 and engaging T-cells via the CD3ϵ chain, we implemented a comprehensive, prediction-independent safety strategy relying on New Approach Methodologies (NAMs). This approach utili

Микроаэробный маленький белок от теплового шока способствует ризобию лимуминозараму/Писуму симбиозу и взаимодействует с широким диапазоном бактерироидных белков.

CNS progenitor cells and oligodendrocytes are targets of chemotherapeutic agents in vitro and in vivo.

BackgroundChemotherapy in cancer patients can be associated with serious short- and long-term adverse neurological effects, such as leukoencephalopathy and cognitive impairment, even when therapy is delivered systemically. The underlying cellular basis for these adverse effects is poorly understood.ResultsWe found that three mainstream chemotherapeutic agents--carmustine (BCNU), cisplatin, and cytosine arabinoside (cytarabine), representing two DNA cross-linking agents and an antimetabolite, respectively--applied at clinically relevant exposure levels to cultured cells are more toxic for the p

USP33 Promotes Lung Adenocarcinoma Brain Metastasis by Inhibiting the K48-Linked Ubiquitination and Degradation of S100A9 and Facilitating Vimentin Secretion.

Brain metastasis has a deterministic influence on the evolutionary trajectory of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Given the profound clinical importance of LUAD brain metastases and the formidable obstacles that hinder their precise prediction, novel therapeutic targets are urgently needed. Notably, a substantial fraction of lung carcinoma cells in brain metastatic foci demonstrates marked S100A9 overexpression. However, whether these cells represent the primary drivers of brain metastasis requires further elucidation. Coculture of S100A9-overexpressing LUAD cells with human brain microvascular end

The role of abnormal epigenetic regulation of small GTPases in glioma (Review).

Brain tumors are one of the most severe types of malignant tumors and glioma accounts for ~80% of malignant brain tumors. The current treatment methods for glioma are limited and patients with glioma often experience relapse following treatment, which leads to a poor prognosis for these patients. Therefore, novel therapeutic targets and methods urgently need to be explored. The present review screened studies that mainly focused on the epigenetic regulation of small guanosine triphosphate (GTP)ase in glioma. These small GTPases participate in most cellular biological processes, including diffe

… The majority of histone PTMs occur on the N- or C-terminal tails of histones that extend away from the nucleosome core particle, including methylation, acetylation, ubiquitylation, phosphorylation, SUMOylation, ADP ribosylation, citrullination and biotinylation ( 78 , 89 ). …

Адипоцитный β-гидроксибутират обеспечивает метаболическую стойкость в множестве миеломы.

Множественная миелома (ММ) остается неизлечимым раком крови. Ожирение является известным фактором риска, но то, как адипоциты способствуют прогрессу MM, не в полной мере понятно. Здесь мы обнаруживаем метаболический перекресток между адипоцитами и клетками MM, который способствует выживанию клеток MM под глюкозой. Мы показываем, что ограничение глюкозы активирует АМПК, срывает связь HSP90-IRF4 и делает IRF4 восприимчивым к протеасомной деградации при помощи TRIM21. Парадоксально, но такой же стресс стимулирует адипоциты к производству β-гидроксибутирата (β-OHB). Клетки MM используют β-OHB при

LncRNA NEAT1 restrains the malignant biological characteristics of acute myeloid leukemia via regulating CTCF/CXCR2 axis.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is notorious in the field of hematology for its poor efficacy, frustrating prognosis, and it is prone to refractory or relapsed conditions. Previous studies in our team have shown that some Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and chemokine receptors play key regulatory roles in AML. The findings of this study demonstrated that the expression of NEAT1 was atypically low in both clinical AML specimens and AML cell lines. Overexpression of NEAT1 was capable of attenuating the malignant biological characteristics of AML cells, including inhibiting the malignant proliferation

Cold atmospheric plasma sensitizes head and neck cancer to chemotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade therapy.

Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the seventh most prevalent cancer globally, often characterized by chemo-resistance and immunosuppression, which significantly hampers treatment efficacy. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has recently emerged as a promising adjuvant oncotherapy with substantial potential and advantages. In this study, Piezobrush® PZ2, a handheld CAP unit based on the piezoelectric direct discharge technology, was used to generate and deliver non-thermal plasma. We aimed to investigate the effects of CAPPZ2 on various types of HNC cells and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. In addi

Integrative multi-omics analysis reveals CXCL10-driven inflammation and TREM2 + macrophage-plasma cell survival niche as hallmarks of late-stage rheumatoid arthritis.

BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by persistent synovial inflammation, yet the molecular mechanisms distinguishing early from late-stage disease remain incompletely elucidated. Identifying stage-specific biomarkers and pathogenic cellular interactions is crucial for precision medicine. OBJECTIVE: To comprehensively characterize the transcriptomic landscape and cellular composition of early versus late RA synovium, identify diagnostic biomarkers, and elucidate key pathogenic cell–cell interactions driving disease chronicity. METHODS: Synovial tissues from 51 RA patients (13

The "Magic Bullet" Is Here? Cell-Based Immunotherapies for Hematological Malignancies in the Twilight of the Chemotherapy Era.

Despite the introduction of a plethora of different anti-neoplastic approaches including standard chemotherapy, molecularly targeted small-molecule inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, and finally hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), there is still a need for novel therapeutic options with the potential to cure hematological malignancies. Although nowadays HSCT already offers a curative effect, its implementation is largely limited by the age and frailty of the patient. Moreover, its efficacy in combating the malignancy with graft-versus-tumor effect frequently coexists with undesirab

Roles of Microvesicles in Tumor Progression and Clinical Applications.

Microvesicles are extracellular vesicles with diameter ranging from 100 to 1000 nm that are secreted by tumor cells or other cells in the tumor microenvironment. A growing number of studies demonstrate that tumor-derived microvesicles are involved in tumor initiation and progression, as well as drug resistance. In addition, tumor-derived microvesicles carry a variety of immunogenic molecules and inhibit tumor response to immunotherapy; therefore, they can be exploited for use in tumor vaccines. Moreover, because of their high stability, tumor-derived microvesicles extracted from body fluids ca

Applications of Aggregation-Induced Emission Materials in Immunology: From Diagnostics to Immunotherapy.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials, due to their unique ability to significantly enhance optical emission in aggregated states, have demonstrated vast potential in immunology, particularly in early disease diagnosis and immunotherapy. AIE materials can serve as highly efficient fluorescent probes for biomarker detection, providing critical insights for early diagnosis. Additionally, they can act as cancer vaccines, enhancing the effectiveness of immunotherapy through photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, or activation of immune cells. This review highlights the applications of

Brain intratumoural astatine-211 radiotherapy targeting syndecan-1 leads to durable glioblastoma remission and immune memory in female mice.

BackgroundGlioblastoma (GB), the most aggressive brain cancer, remains a critical clinical challenge due to its resistance to conventional treatments. Here, we introduce a locoregional targeted-α-therapy (TAT) with the rat monoclonal antibody 9E7.4 targeting murine syndecan-1 (SDC1) coupled to the α-emitter radionuclide astatine-211 (211At-9E7.4).MethodsWe orthotopically transplanted 50,000 GL261 cells of murine GB into the right striatum of syngeneic female C57BL/6JRj mice using stereotaxis. After MRI validation of tumour presence at day 11, TAT was injected at the same coordinates. Biodistri

Proteasome Inhibitors and Their Potential Applicability in Osteosarcoma Treatment.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common type of bone cancer, with ~30% of patients developing secondary/metastatic tumors. The molecular complexity of tumor metastasis and the lack of effective therapies for OS has cultivated interest in exploiting the proteasome as a molecular target for anti-cancer therapy. As our understanding towards the behavior of malignant cells expands, it is evident that cancerous cells display a greater reliance on the proteasome to maintain homeostasis and sustain efficient biological activities. This led to the development and approval of first- and second-generation

Targeting Protein Degradation Pathways in Tumors: Focusing on their Role in Hematological Malignancies.

Cells must maintain their proteome homeostasis by balancing protein synthesis and degradation. This is facilitated by evolutionarily-conserved processes, including the unfolded protein response and the proteasome-based system of protein clearance, autophagy, and chaperone-mediated autophagy. In some hematological malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia, misfolding or aggregation of the wild-type p53 tumor-suppressor renders cells unable to undergo apoptosis, even with an intact p53 DNA sequence. Moreover, blocking the proteasome pathway triggers lymphoma cell apoptosis. Extensive studie

Targeted Protein Degradation in Cancer: PROTACs, New Targets, and Clinical Mechanisms.

The onset of proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) has reshaped the entire context of targeted cancer therapy by offering a novel approach for the selective degradation of disease-causing proteins, overcoming the limitations of traditional occupancy-driven inhibition. This heterobifunctional technology recruits endogenous E3 ubiquitin ligases to mark proteins of interest (POI) for proteosomal degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). Unlike conventional inhibitors, PROTACs function catalytically and can target previously "undruggable proteins", such as transcription factors, sc

The role of mesenchymal stem cells in attenuating inflammatory bowel disease through ubiquitination.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a condition of the digestive tract and one of the autoimmune diseases, is becoming a disease of significant global public health concern and substantial clinical burden. Various signaling pathways have been documented to modulate IBD, but the exact activation and regulatory mechanisms have not been fully clarified; thus, a need for constant exploration of the molecules and pathways that play key roles in the development of IBD. In recent years, several protein post-translational modification pathways, such as ubiquitination, phosphorylation, methylation, acety
