Application of dendritic cell extracellular vesicles as a valid nanoparticle platform for cancer therapies: a narrative review.

The prevalence of cancers has actually increased during the last few decades, affecting almost all human societies. Despite progress in therapeutic protocols, cancer is still the main cause of global human mortality. Although the advancement of modern immunotherapeutic approaches can increase the survival rate of cancer patients, new modalities are essential for improved therapeutic outcomes. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanosized particles and are used for cell-free approaches instead of direct whole cell-based administration. It has been thought that EVs can reduce the risks and side eff

A Holistic Review of Oncological Drug Targets and Trajectories of Resistance in Cancer Therapy.

The prolonged and intricate history of oncological treatments has transitioned significantly since the introduction of chemotherapy. Substantial therapeutic benefits in cancer therapy have been achieved by the integration of conventional treatments with molecular biosciences and omics technologies. Human epidermal growth factor receptor, hormone receptors, and angiogenesis factors are among the established therapies in tumor reduction and managing side effects. Novel targeted therapies like KRAS G12C, Claudin-18 isoform 2 (CLDN18.2), Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (TROP2), and epigenetic r

Minimal Residual Disease in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: Technical and Clinical Advances.

Introduction: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the first neoplasm where the assessment of early response to therapy by minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring has proven to be a fundamental tool to guide therapeutic choices. The most standardized methods to study MRD in ALL are multi-parametric flow cytometry (MFC) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification-based methods. Emerging technologies hold the promise to improve MRD detection in ALL patients. Moreover, novel therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies, bispecific T-cell engagers, and chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CART)

Proteasome Inhibitors as a Possible Therapy for SARS-CoV-2.

The COVID-19 global pandemic is caused by SARS-CoV-2, and represents an urgent medical and social issue. Unfortunately, there is still not a single proven effective drug available, and therefore, current therapeutic guidelines recommend supportive care including oxygen administration and treatment with antibiotics. Recently, patients have been also treated with off-label therapies which comprise antiretrovirals, anti-inflammatory compounds, antiparasitic agents and plasma from convalescent patients, all with controversial results. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is important for the main

Адаптация эукариот-подобных PRS к прокариот-подобным tRNAPro.

Синтеты Проли-ТРНА (ПРОРС) уникальны среди аминоачил-тРНК (ААРС) two различные структурные архитектуры различных организмов: прокариота-подобные (П-тип) и эукариоте/археон-подобные (Е-тип). Интересно, что Бакиллус Тюрингьенси гавань обоих типов, сосуществует P-тип (BtProRS1) и E-тип PRS (BtProRS2). Несмотря на свои различия, оба фермента формально выражаются и функционируют в vivo. По аналогии с BtProRS1, BtPRS2 выборочно заряжает TRNAPro типа P и демонстрирует более высокий допуск к галоугинону, чем каноническая PRS. Однако эти two Изозимы признают основные идентификационные элементы типа P t

Preclinical Evaluation of a Lentiviral Vector for Huntingtin Silencing.

Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder resulting from a polyglutamine expansion in the huntingtin (HTT) protein. There is currently no cure for this disease, but recent studies suggest that RNAi to downregulate the expression of both normal and mutant HTT is a promising therapeutic approach. We previously developed a small hairpin RNA (shRNA), vectorized in an HIV-1-derived lentiviral vector (LV), that reduced pathology in an HD rodent model. Here, we modified this vector for preclinical development by using a tat-independent third-generation LV (pCCL) ba

In vivo activity of miR-34a mimics delivered by stable nucleic acid lipid particles (SNALPs) against multiple myeloma.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a disease with an adverse outcome and new therapeutic strategies are urgently awaited. A rising body of evidence supports the notion that microRNAs (miRNAs), master regulators of eukaryotic gene expression, may exert anti-MM activity. Here, we evaluated the activity of synthetic miR-34a in MM cells. We found that transfection of miR-34a mimics in MM cells induces a significant change of gene expression with relevant effects on multiple signal transduction pathways. We detected early inactivation of pro-survival and proliferative kinases Erk-2 and Akt followed at later

Recent Advances in Cancer Vaccines: Challenges, Achievements, and Futuristic Prospects.

Cancer is a chronic disease, and it can be lethal due to limited therapeutic options. The conventional treatment options for cancer have numerous challenges, such as a low blood circulation time as well as poor solubility of anticancer drugs. Therapeutic cancer vaccines emerged to try to improve anticancer drugs' efficiency and to deliver them to the target site. Cancer vaccines are considered a viable therapeutic technique for most solid tumors. Vaccines boost antitumor immunity by delivering tumor antigens, nucleic acids, entire cells, and peptides. Cancer vaccines are designed to induce lon

Apheresis for the treatment of relapses in MS and NMOSD: reduced antibody reactivities, gene expression changes and potential clinical response indicators.

BACKGROUND: High-dose glucocorticoids are the standard treatment for acute relapses in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) or neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Therapeutic apheresis can be considered for the escalation of relapse therapy, but some patients still do not recover sufficiently. We aimed to explore the effects of apheresis on humoral and cellular immune parameters and to identify features that correlate with beneficial clinical outcomes. METHODS: We studied two cohorts comprising a total of 63 patients with MS or NMOSD who were undergoing relapse therapy with eithe

MicroRNA-17-92a-1 Host Gene (MIR17HG) Expression Signature and rs4284505 Variant Association with Alopecia Areata: A Case-Control Study.

Accumulating evidence indicates the implication of microRNAs (miRs) in cutaneous and hair follicle immunobiology. We evaluated, for the first time, the miR-17-92a-1 cluster host gene (MIR17HG) expression in peripheral blood of 248 unrelated alopecia areata (AA) patients compared to 244 matched controls using Real-Time qPCR. We also tested its association with different rs4284505A>G genotypes (based on TaqMan allelic discrimination PCR) and the available clinical data. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for each genetic association model. The upregulat

PIWI-interacting RNAs (PiRNAs) as emerging biomarkers and therapeutic targets in biliary tract cancers: A comprehensive review.

Cancers affecting the biliary tract, such as gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma, make up a small percentage of adult gastrointestinal malignancies, but their incidence is on the rise. Due to the lack of dependable molecular biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis, these cancers are often not detected until later stages and have limited treatment options. Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a type of small noncoding RNA that interacts with Piwi proteins and has been linked to various diseases, especially cancer. Manipulation of piRNA expression has the potential to serve as an important bi

Panobinostat reduces hypoxia-induced cisplatin resistance of non-small cell lung carcinoma cells via HIF-1α destabilization.

BackgroundLung cancer is one of the most frequent cancer types and the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapeutic for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), however, its positive effects are diminished under hypoxia. We wanted to determine if co-treatment with cisplatin and histone deacetalyse (HDAC) inhibitor panobinostat can reduce hypoxia-induced cisplatin resistance in NSCLC cells, and to elucidate mechanism involved.MethodsExpression status of different HDACS was determined in two cell lines and in tumor tissue from 20 patients. Cells were treated

Моноцитная система снижает эффективность центральной нервной системы ремиелиции.

Регенерация миелина в центральной нервной системе (СНС) восстанавливает нервное здоровье и функции, однако снижение ее эффективности в результате старения и развития нейродегенеративных заболеваний ведет к потере аксона и/или дегенерации. Несмотря на то, что миелиоидные клетки CNS были причастны к регулированию эффективности ремиелиции, не ясно, какой конкретный вклад вносят моноциты крови по сравнению с микроглией. Здесь мы обнаруживаем, что моноциты выполняют функции, не связанные с избытком, по сравнению с микроглией в регулировании ремиэлизации. Используя трансгенную мышь, в которой класси
