Self-amplified ROS production from fatty acid oxidation enhanced tumor immunotherapy by atorvastatin/PD-L1 siRNA lipopeptide nanoplexes

Yan Gao et al.

Summary: In this study, an atorvastatin-catalyzed self-amplified approach was used to achieve sustainable ROS production and enhance the anti-tumor efficacy of PD-L1 silencing. Efficient delivery of AMPK activator and PD-L1 siRNA was achieved through a lipopeptide-based nanoplex system. The self-amplified ROS production from mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) was maintained by the dysregulated lipid metabolism and inhibition of triglyceride synthesis by atorvastatin. The excessive ROS level induced immunogenic cell death and boosted the anti-tumor efficacy of PD-L1 silencing.

Epigenetic reprogramming of tumor cell-intrinsic STING function sculpts antigenicity and T cell recognition of melanoma

Rana Falahat et al.

Summary: The lack or loss of tumor antigenicity is a key mechanism of immune evasion and resistance to T cell-based immunotherapies. Epigenetic regulation, specifically DNA methylation, plays a role in suppressing the STING signaling function in melanoma cells, but this suppression can be reversed through pharmacologic DNA methylation inhibition. Restoring STING signaling improves melanoma cell antigenicity and enhances recognition and killing by cytotoxic T cells, highlighting the functional significance of epigenetic processes in tumor-immune evasion.
