Delivering mRNA to Secondary Lymphoid Tissues by Phosphatidylserine-Loaded Lipid Nanoparticles

Masaki Gomi et al.

Summary: This study reports the development of a new lipid nanoparticle (LNP) that efficiently delivers messenger RNA (mRNA) to secondary lymphoid tissues. A microfluidic technique was used to incorporate alcohol-soluble phosphatidylserine (PS) derivatives, designed to target immune cells, into LNPs with high scalability and reproducibility. The resulting PS-loaded LNP delivered mRNA to the spleen more efficiently than a control LNP. Sub-organ analysis revealed extensive uptake of the PS-loaded LNP by tissue-resident macrophages in the red pulp and marginal zone of the spleen. Therefore, the PS-loaded LNP described in this study holds promise for clinical applications involving mRNA delivery to the spleen.

Spleen-Targeted mRNA Delivery by Amphiphilic Carbon Dots for Tumor Immunotherapy

Ping Chen et al.

Summary: In recent years, the application of mRNA vaccine-based tumor immunotherapy has shown potential in enhancing anti-tumor therapy. However, the low efficiency of mRNA delivery and lack of targeting ability in vivo have hindered its effectiveness. This study introduces a chemical library of amphiphilic carbon dots (ACDs) for mRNA delivery, bio-imaging, and tumor immunotherapy. A specific ACD, O12-Tta-CDs, was found to have optimal mRNA transfection efficiency and spleen-targeted delivery ability. Additionally, O12-Tta-CDs demonstrated successful transfection of immune cells and promotion of maturation and antigen presentation of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs). Furthermore, treatment with O12-Tta-CDs@OVA-mRNA resulted in inhibited tumor growth, increased T-cell infiltration in spleen and tumors, and effective tumor recurrence inhibition and prophylactic effects. Overall, this study opens up new possibilities for the design of mRNA vectors and holds promise in tumor immunotherapy.

Splenic stromal niches in homeostasis and immunity

Yannick O. Alexandre et al.

Summary: In the spleen, a complex microanatomy consisting of fibroblastic stromal cells and neuronal cells supports splenic function and immune responses. The spleen plays a crucial role in initiating and sustaining immune responses against blood-borne pathogens. Stromal cells in the spleen construct microanatomical niches that contribute to physiological spleen functions and regulate immune cell homeostasis. Recent understanding of splenic fibroblastic stromal cell diversity has improved our knowledge of how these cells orchestrate splenic responses to infection and contribute to immune responses. This review focuses on the role of stromal niches and neuroimmune circuits in directing T cell immunity in the spleen.

Lung-selective mRNA delivery of synthetic lipid nanoparticles for the treatment of pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis

Min Qiu et al.

Summary: The challenge of delivering mRNA to specific organs and cells in vivo is being addressed, with research showing that N-series LNPs can selectively deliver mRNA to the lungs while O-series LNPs tend to deliver mRNA to the liver. By analyzing the protein corona on targeted LNPs, unique plasma proteins were identified that contribute to their targetability. This research demonstrates the potential of LNPs as a promising therapeutic intervention for lung diseases like lymphangioleiomyomatosis.

CD97 promotes spleen dendritic cell homeostasis through the mechanosensing of red blood cells

Dan Liu et al.

Summary: Dendritic cells (DCs) are crucial for initiating adaptive immune responses. The positioning and homeostasis of DCs are controlled by factors that are not fully understood. This study found that type-2 conventional DCs (cDC2s) in the spleen rely on G alpha(13) and CD97 for positioning in blood-exposed locations. CD97 function requires its autoproteolytic cleavage. Interaction between cDC2s and red blood cells (RBCs) expressing CD55 under shear stress conditions causes extraction of the regulatory CD97 N-terminal fragment. Loss of CD55-CD97 signaling leads to circulation of splenic cDC2s and defective lymphocyte responses to blood-borne antigens. Therefore, CD97 mechanosensing of RBCs plays a role in optimizing the antigen capture and presentation functions of splenic cDC2s.

mRNA-LNP vaccines tuned for systemic immunization induce strong antitumor immunity by engaging splenic immune cells

Sanne Bevers et al.

Summary: mRNA vaccines have shown high efficacy against SARS-CoV-2, attributed to lipid-based nanoparticles (LNPs) that enable efficient mRNA expression and adjuvant properties. Effective cancer vaccines necessitate long-lived, qualitative CD8 T cell responses. By optimizing LNP composition, researchers achieved high-magnitude tumor-specific CD8 T cell responses. Unexpectedly, they discovered a role of B cells in stimulating the vaccine-elicited CD8 T cell response. Optimized LNPs showed favorable biodistribution profiles in non-human primates and did not cause histopathological changes, calling for further evaluation in clinical studies.

Icaritin Induces Anti-tumor Immune Responses in Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Inhibiting Splenic Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cell Generation

Summary: Studies show that icaritin can suppress tumor progression and increase the survival of mice with HCC by reducing MDSC accumulation and activation, while enhancing cytotoxic T cell activity. Icaritin achieves this by downregulating splenic EMH, leading to decreased MDSC generation and activation, thereby dampening tumoral immunosuppression and promoting anti-tumor immune responses.

Resting innate-like B cells leverage sustained Notch2/ mTORC1 signaling to achieve rapid and mitosis- independent plasma cell differentiation

Brian T. Gaudette et al.

Summary: Little is known about how cells regulate and integrate distinct biosynthetic pathways governing differentiation and cell division. For B lineage cells it is widely accepted that activated cells must complete several rounds of mitosis before yielding antibody-secreting plasma cells. However, we report that marginal zone (MZ) B cells, innate-like naive B cells known to generate plasma cells rapidly in response to blood-borne bacteria, generate functional plasma cells despite cell-cycle arrest. Further, short-term Notch2 blockade in vivo reversed division-independent differentiation potential and decreased transcript abundance for numerous mTORC1-and Myc-regulated genes. Myc loss compromised plasma cell differentiation for MZ B cells, and reciprocally induced ectopic mTORC1 signaling in follicular B cells enabled division-independent differentiation and plasma cell-affiliated gene expression. We conclude that ongoing in situ Notch2/mTORC1 signaling in MZ B cells establishes a unique cellular state that enables rapid division-independent plasma cell differentiation.
