CD4 T cell-intrinsic STING signaling controls the differentiation and effector functions of TH1 and TH9 cells

Isis Benoit-Lizon et al.

Summary: Activation of STING signaling enhances the differentiation and antitumor functions of T(H)1 and T(H)9 cells by increasing their production of IFN-gamma and interleukin-9, respectively. IRF3 and IFNARs are required for the enhancement of T(H)1 cell differentiation, while mTOR signaling is implicated in T(H)9 cell differentiation in response to STING activation. STING activation boosts the antitumor activity of T(H)1 and T(H)9 cells through their cytokine production, and enhances the efficacy of T(H)9 cells in adoptive transfer against melanoma.

Polysaccharide from Patinopecten yessoensis Skirt Boosts Immune Response via Modulation of Gut Microbiota and Short-Chain Fatty Acids Metabolism in Mice

Ying Li et al.

Summary: The polysaccharide from Patinopecten yessoensis skirt (PS) was found to enhance immune response in mice by increasing serum IgG and IgM levels. Additionally, it modulated gut microbiota, improved SCFAs metabolism, and significantly affected gene expression in the TLR signaling pathway. These findings suggest the potential of PS as a functional ingredient for immune support products.

Purification, secondary structure and antioxidant activity of metallothionein zinc-binding proteins from Arca subcrenata

Chunying Meng et al.

Summary: Zinc-binding proteins named MT-M-I and MT-M-II were purified from metal-exposed hairy clams and found to have similar molecular weights, capable of binding 6 and 7 equivalents of Zn2+ in vitro. Characterized by their migration behaviors in Tricine-SDS-PAGE and amino acid compositions, these proteins conform to the molecular characteristics of metallothionein proteins. Additionally, MT-M-I exhibited stronger antioxidant activities compared to MT-M-II.

The application of nanoparticles in cancer immunotherapy: Targeting tumor microenvironment

Muyue Yang et al.

Summary: The development and metastasis of tumors are closely linked to the tumor microenvironment (TME). Nanoparticles, with their unique physical properties and design, show potential in efficiently penetrating TME and delivering therapeutic agents to specific components. However, the heterogeneity of tumors and individuals may limit the effectiveness of nanoparticle delivery systems in all types of tumors, calling for further understanding of TME changes at different stages of tumor development for the design of more personalized nanoplatforms.
