Inducing trained immunity in pro-metastatic macrophages to control tumor metastasis

Chuanlin Ding et al.

Summary: By inducing trained immunity, reprogrammed pre-metastatic niche myeloid cells inhibit tumor metastasis and prolong survival. The metabolic sphingolipid-mitochondrial fission pathway is identified as the mechanism for WGP-induced trained immunity.

Nanoengineered mesenchymal stem cell therapy for pulmonary fibrosis in young and aged mice

Meng-Meng Han et al.

Summary: A nanoengineered platform based on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and nintedanib-loaded liposomes modified with type I collagenase (Lip@NCAF) was constructed to treat severe pulmonary fibrosis (PF). The platform effectively delivered the drug to fibrotic lungs and inhibited fibroblast overactivation. Additionally, MSCs differentiated into alveolar epithelial cells to repair lung tissue. This study suggests that MSCs-Lip@NCAF is a promising therapeutic candidate for PF, especially in aged patients.

Intracavity generation of glioma stem cell-specific CAR macrophages primes locoregional immunity for postoperative glioblastoma therapy

Chen Chen et al.

Summary: Researchers have developed a cavity-injectable nanoporter-hydrogel superstructure to prevent relapse of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). This superstructure introduces glioma stem cell-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) genes into macrophages/microglia, stimulating an antitumor immune response and preventing postoperative relapse.

SIRPγ-expressing cancer stem-like cells promote immune escape of lung cancer via Hippo signaling

Chuan Xu et al.

Summary: Signal regulatory protein gamma (SIRP gamma) determines the properties and immune evasiveness of cancer stem-like cells (CSLCs) in a small population of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cancer cells. SIRP gamma activates the Hippo/YAP signaling pathway to release cytokines and stimulate CD47 expression in tumor cells, inhibiting their phagocytosis. Targeting SIRP gamma can inhibit CSLC phenotypes and promote tumor phagocytosis, making it an immune and CSLC-targeting strategy for lung cancer therapy.

Ferroptosis: mechanisms, biology and role in disease

Xuejun Jiang et al.

Summary: Ferroptosis, as a form of regulated cell death driven by iron-dependent phospholipid peroxidation, has seen significant growth in research in recent years. Studies have focused on molecular mechanisms, regulation, and functions of ferroptosis, linking this cell death modality to various pathologies and proposing its roles in normal physiology and potential therapeutic targeting.

Live tumor imaging shows macrophage induction and TMEM-mediated enrichment of cancer stem cells during metastatic dissemination

Ved P. Sharma et al.

Summary: Research has shown that cancer stem cells (CSCs) play an important role in tumor metastasis, with non-stem cancer cells induced to become stem cells through direct contact with macrophages. In human breast cancer, TMEM doorways are not only entry portals for cancer cell intravasation, but also sites for CSC programming.

Innate immune and inflammatory responses to SARS-CoV-2: Implications for COVID-19

Shea A. Lowery et al.

Summary: Severe disease from COVID-19 is characterized by significant immunopathology driven by unbalanced innate immune response with limited and delayed interferon response, leading to excessive proinflammatory cytokine production and cellular infiltrates in the respiratory tract causing lung pathology. Effective therapeutics for severe COVID-19 patients depend on understanding the pathological elements of this dysregulated innate immune response, as well as identifying therapeutic strategies targeting these elements of the innate response.

CD44: A Multifunctional Mediator of Cancer Progression

Malak Hassn Mesrati et al.

Summary: CD44, a non-kinase cell surface transmembrane glycoprotein, is widely implicated as a cancer stem cell marker in multiple cancers. Cells overexpressing CD44 possess CSC traits and resistance to therapy. The CD44 gene undergoes alternative splicing, resulting in different isoforms that interact with various ligands and drive cancer-associated signaling pathways. However, the association between CD44 expression levels and clinicopathological features is contradictory, although high CD44 expression significantly contributes to tumorigenic mechanisms.

Intratumoral synthesis of nano-metalchelate for tumor catalytic therapy by ligand field-enhanced coordination

Bowen Yang et al.

Summary: Iron gall chelate (GA-Fe) can promote chemical corrosion through oxygen reduction reactions and reactive oxygen species generation, inspiring a composite cancer nanomedicine using gallate loaded into a Fe-engineered mesoporous silica nanocarrier. This nanocomposite degrades in acidic tumors to release Fe3+ and gallate, forming GA-Fe nanocomplex in situ for direct oxidative damage to tumors, providing insights for future anticancer research.

Summary: This study optimized the design of lipid nanoparticles for the efficient delivery of therapeutic mRNA to the lungs via nebulization, resulting in protection of mice from a lethal challenge of H1N1 influenza A virus and more efficient delivery of mRNA compared to LNPs previously optimized for systemic delivery. The cluster approach to LNP design may facilitate the optimization of LNPs for other administration routes and therapeutics.
