    查看更多>>摘要:Fusobacterium nucleatum(F.nucleatum),an oral anaerobe,is prevalent in colorectal cancer and is closely related to increased cancer cell growth,metastasis,and poor treatment outcomes.Bacterial vaccines cap-able of selectively eliminating bacteria present a promising approach to targeting intratumor F.nuclea-tum,thereby enhancing cancer treatment.Although adjuvants have been employed to enhance the immune response,the vaccine's effectiveness is constrained by inadequate T-cell activation necessary for eradicating intracellular pathogens.In this study,we developed a minimalistic,biomimetic nanovac-cine by integrating highly immunostimulatory adjuvant cholesterol-modified CpG oligonucleotides into the autologously derived F.nucleatum membranes.Compared to the traditional vaccines consisting of inactivated bacteria and Alum adjuvant,the nanovaccine coupled with bacterial membranes and adju-vants could remarkably improve multiple antigens and adjuvant co-delivery to dendritic cells,maximiz-ing their ability to achieve effective antigen presentation and strong downstream immune progress.Notably,the nanovaccine exhibits outstanding selective prophylactic and therapeutic effects,eliminating F.nucleatum without affecting intratumoral and gut microbiota.It significantly enhances chemotherapy efficacy and reduces cancer metastasis in F.nucleatum-infected colorectal cancer.Overall,this work rep-resents the rational application of bacterial nanovaccine and provides a blueprint for future development in enhancing the antitumor effect against bacterial-infected cancer.

    查看更多>>摘要:Chronic hepatitis B virus(HBV)infection can lead to advanced liver pathology.Here,we establish a trans-genic murine model expressing a basic core promoter(BCP)-mutated HBV genome.Unlike previous stud-ies on the wild-type virus,the BCP-mutated HBV transgenic mice manifest chronic liver injury that culminates in cirrhosis and tumor development with age.Notably,agonistic anti-Fas treatment induces fulminant hepatitis in these mice even at a negligible dose.As the BCP mutant exhibits a striking increase in HBV core protein(HBc)expression,we posit that HBc is actively involved in hepatocellular injury.Accordingly,HBc interferes with Fis1-stimulated mitochondrial recruitment of Tre-2/Bub2/Cdc16 domain family member 15(TBC1D15).HBc may also inhibit multiple Rab GTPase-activating proteins,including Rab7-specific TBC1D15 and TBC1D5,by binding to their conserved catalytic domain.In cells under mitochondrial stress,HBc thus perturbs mitochondrial dynamics and prevents the recycling of damaged mitochondria.Moreover,sustained HBc expression causes lysosomal consumption via Rab7 hyperactivation,which further hampers late-stage autophagy and substantially increases apoptotic cell death.Finally,we show that adenovirally expressed HBc in a mouse model is directly cytopathic and causes profound liver injury,independent of antigen-specific immune clearance.These findings reveal an unexpected cytopathic role of HBc,making it a pivotal target for HBV-associated liver disease treat-ment.The BCP-mutated HBV transgenic mice also provide a valuable model for understanding chronic hepatitis B progression and for the assessment of therapeutic strategies.

    查看更多>>摘要:This was a single-arm,multicenter,open-label phase Ⅰ trial.Lentiviral vectors(LV)carrying the ABCD1 gene(LV-ABCD1)was directly injected into the brain of patients with childhood cerebral adrenoleukodys-trophy(CCALD),and multi-site injection was performed.The injection dose increased from 200 to 1600 μL(vector titer:1 × 109 transduction units per mL(TU/mL)),and the average dose per kilogram body weight ranges from 8 to 63.6 μL/kg.The primary endpoint was safety,dose-exploration and immuno-genicity and the secondary endpoint was initial evaluation of efficacy and the expression of ABCD1 pro-tein.A total of 7 patients participated in this phase Ⅰ study and were followed for 1 year.No injection-related serious adverse event or death occurred.Common adverse events associated with the injection were irritability(71%,5/7)and fever(37.2-38.5 ℃,57%,4/7).Adverse events were mild and self-limited,or resolved within 3 d of symptomatic treatment.The maximal tolerable dose is 1600 μL In 5 cases(83.3%,5/6),no lentivirus associated antibodies were detected.The overall survival at 1-year was 100%.The ABCD1 protein expression was detected in neutrophils,monocytes and lymphocytes.This study suggests that the intracerebral injection of LV-ABCD1 for CCALD is safe and can achieve successful LV transduction in vivo;even the maximal dose did not increase the risk of adverse events.Furthermore,the direct LV-ABCD1 injection displayed low immunogenicity.In addition,the effectiveness of intracere-bral LV-ABCD1 injection has been preliminarily demonstrated while further investigation is needed.This study has been registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry(https://www.chictr.org.cn/,registration number:ChiCTR1900026649).

    查看更多>>摘要:Preterm birth(PTB)is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide,yet the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving this condition remain undeciphered,thus limiting discovery of new ther-apies.In-depth analyses of human and mouse tissues associated with PTB,in combination with cellular studies,indicated that aberrantly high-expressed neutrophil cytoplasmic factor(NCF)1 leads to oxidative distress,recruitment,and pro-inflammatory activation of neutrophils and macrophages,while sequen-tially overexpressed pro-inflammatory mediators induce contractions of uterine smooth muscle cells(USMCs)as well as apoptosis of USMCs and amniotic epithelial cells,thereby causing PTB.According to these new findings,we rationally engineered an amphiphilic macromolecular conjugate LPA by cova-lently integrating low-molecular-weight heparin,a reactive oxygen species-responsive/scavenging com-ponent,and an anti-inflammatory peptide.This bioengineered macromolecular conjugate can self-assemble into multi-bioactive nanoparticles(LPA NP).In a mouse model of PTB,LPA NP effectively delayed PTB and inhibited adverse pregnancy outcomes,by regulating NCF1-mediated oxidative-inflammatory cascades,i.e.,attenuating oxidative stress,inhibiting inflammatory cell activation,reducing local inflammation,and decreasing contraction/apoptosis of myometrial cells.Packaging LPA NP into temperature-responsive,self-healing,and bioadhesive hydrogel further potentiated its in vivo efficacies after intravaginal delivery,by prolonging retention time,sustaining nanotherapy release,and increasing bioavailability in the placenta/uterus.Importantly,both the conjugate/nanotherapy and hydrogel formu-lations exhibited excellent safety profiles in pregnant mice,with negligible side effects on the mother and offspring.
