Immunomodulatory and antitumor effects of type I interferons and their application in cancer therapy.

During the last decades, the pleiotropic antitumor functions exerted by type I interferons (IFNs) have become universally acknowledged, especially their role in mediating interactions between the tumor and the immune system. Indeed, type I IFNs are now appreciated as a critical component of dendritic cell (DC) driven T cell responses to cancer. Here we focus on IFN-α and IFN-β, and their antitumor effects, impact on immune responses and their use as therapeutic agents. IFN-α/β share many properties, including activation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and induction of a variety of cellular p

Different origin-derived exosomes and their clinical advantages in cancer therapy.

Exosomes, as a class of small extracellular vesicles closely related to the biological behavior of various types of tumors, are currently attracting research attention in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Regarding cancer diagnosis, the stability of their membrane structure and their wide distribution in body fluids render exosomes promising biomarkers. It is expected that exosome-based liquid biopsy will become an important tool for tumor diagnosis in the future. For cancer treatment, exosomes, as the "golden communicators" between cells, can be designed to deliver different drugs, aiming to ac

Targeting Tumor Glycans for Cancer Therapy: Successes, Limitations, and Perspectives.

Aberrant glycosylation is a hallmark of cancer and can lead to changes that influence tumor behavior. Glycans can serve as a source of novel clinical biomarker developments, providing a set of specific targets for therapeutic intervention. Different mechanisms of aberrant glycosylation lead to the formation of tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens (TACAs) suitable for selective cancer-targeting therapy. The best characterized TACAs are truncated O-glycans (Tn, TF, and sialyl-Tn antigens), gangliosides (GD2, GD3, GM2, GM3, fucosyl-GM1), globo-serie glycans (Globo-H, SSEA-3, SSEA-4), Lewis anti

Deciphering and targeting oncogenic pathways through integrated approaches and amino acid metabolism in hematologic malignancies.

Hematologic malignancies, including leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, represent a diverse group of blood cancers driven by complex oncogenic pathways and genetic aberrations. Despite advances in treatment, resistance and relapse remain significant clinical challenges. This review presents an integrative approach to blood cancer therapy, highlighting the convergence of precision medicine, CRISPR-based gene editing, immunotherapy (including CAR-T cells and immune checkpoint inhibitors), and targeted modulation of amino acid metabolism. We investigate the molecular pathways driving tumour

Targeting LAG-3, TIM-3, and TIGIT for cancer immunotherapy.

In one decade, immunotherapy based on immune checkpoint blockades (ICBs) has become a new pillar of cancer treatment following surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies. However, not all cancer patients benefit from single or combination therapy with anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies. Thus, an increasing number of immune checkpoint proteins (ICPs) have been screened and their effectiveness evaluated in preclinical and clinical trials. Lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3), T cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain-containing-3 (TIM-3), and T cell immunoreceptor w

Nanomedicine Meets Immunotherapy: Advancing Adoptive Cell Therapy with Nanoparticles in the Treatment of Cancer with Sustainability Perspectives.

Immunotherapy has achieved remarkable clinical success in certain cancers, particularly through adoptive cell therapy (ACT), where T cell engineering with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) has driven major clinical breakthroughs in the treatment of hematologic malignancies. However, efficacy against solid tumors remains limited due to multiple barriers, including the scarcity of tumor-specific antigens, antigen heterogeneity, immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, and physical obstruction of T cell infiltration by dense extracellular matrix. Nanoparticle (NP)-based approaches can overcome the

Acute kidney injury: pathogenesis and therapeutic interventions.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a prevalent clinical condition that is associated with unacceptably high morbidity and mortality, as well as the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The pathogenesis of AKI is highly complex and heterogeneous, primarily attributed to metabolic disturbances arising from the disease itself and the administration of medications related to treatment. In recent years, AKI in cancer patients is highly concerned. The emergence of AKI caused injuries and dysfunction of remote organs but also enhanced the health-care costs. It's essential for early recognition of A

Application and Challenges of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy in Systemic Rheumatic Diseases and Autoimmune Disorders.

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy, originally developed for hematologic malignancies, has emerged as a transformative candidate for systemic rheumatic diseases and autoimmune disorders (AIDs). Its unique efficacy in refractory AIDs relies on depleting autoreactive B cells and driving antigen-naïve immune reconstitution, achieving durable drug-free remission in early-phase trials. Despite promising clinical and serological responses lasting 2-5 years without long-term immunosuppression, the field faces unmet needs: complex manufacturing, limited tissue penetration, antigen escape

Decoding the mechanisms underlying breast cancer brain metastasis: paving the way for precision therapeutics.

The development of brain metastasis is a major cause of significantly reduced survival in breast cancer patients. The initiation and progression of breast cancer brain metastasis (BCBM) involve multiple distinct molecular pathways and reprogramming of the tumor microenvironment (TME). This review systematically summarizes key mechanisms underlying BCBM, including epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and the spatiotemporal dynamics of metabolic reprogramming regulated by critical signaling pathways during brain colonization. In particular, we highlight
