Eravacycline improves the efficacy of anti-PD1 immunotherapy via AP1/CCL5 mediated M1 macrophage polarization in melanoma.

Screening approved library is a promising and safe strategy to overcome the limitation of low response rate and drug resistance in immunotherapy. Accumulating evidence showed that the application of antibiotics has been considered to reduce the effectiveness of anti-PD1 immunotherapy in tumor treatment, however, in this study, an antibiotic drug (Eravacycline, ERV) was identified to improve the efficacy of anti-PD1 immunotherapy in melanoma through screening approved library. Administration of ERV significantly attenuated melanoma cells growth as well as directly or indirectly benefited M1 macrophage polarization.

Sterically demanding Csp(-substitution)-Csp(tertiary) bond formation carboxylate-directed Mizoroki-Heck reaction under extra-ligand-free conditions.

Construction of the sterically demanding Csp(S)-Csp(T) bond was achieved by carrying out the Pd-catalyzed carboxylate-directed Mizoroki-Heck reaction under extra-ligand-free aqueous conditions. The cooperative role of the presence of water with the absence of phosphine ligand was proposed to accelerate the migratory insertion process considerably, delivering a broad substrate scope.

Inhibition of TCA cycle improves the anti-PD-1 immunotherapy efficacy in melanoma cells via ATF3-mediated PD-L1 expression and glycolysis.

Background: anti-Programmed Death-1 (anti-PD-1) immunotherapy has shown promising manifestation in improving the survival rate of patients with advanced melanoma, with its efficacy closely linked to Programmed cell death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. However, low clinical efficacy and drug resistance remain major challenges. Although the metabolic alterations from tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle to glycolysis is a hallmark in cancer cells, accumulating evidence demonstrating TCA cycle plays critical roles in both tumorigenesis and treatment.

Improves the Efficacy of Anti-PD1 Immunotherapy in Melanoma via l-Serine-Mediated NK Cell Activation.

Natural killer (NK) cells, as key immune cells, play essential roles in tumor cell immune escape and immunotherapy. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that the gut microbiota community affects the efficacy of anti-PD1 immunotherapy and that remodeling the gut microbiota is a promising strategy to enhance anti-PD1 immunotherapy responsiveness in advanced melanoma patients; however, the details of the mechanism remain elusive. In this study, we found that was significantly enriched in melanoma patients who responded to anti-PD1 immunotherapy and that a high abundance was related to longer survival in melanoma patients.

Supplementation with α-ketoglutarate improved the efficacy of anti-PD1 melanoma treatment through epigenetic modulation of PD-L1.

Patients with advanced melanoma have shown an improved outlook after anti-PD1 therapy, but the low response rate restricts clinical benefit; therefore, enhancing anti-PD1 therapeutic efficacy remains a major challenge. Here, our findings showed a significantly increased abundance of α-KG in healthy controls, anti-PD1-sensitive melanoma-bearing mice, and anti-PD1-sensitive melanoma patients; moreover, supplementation with α-KG enhanced the efficacy of anti-PD1 immunotherapy and increased PD-L1 expression in melanoma tumors via STAT1/3. We also found that supplementation with α-KG significantly increased the activity of the methylcytosine dioxygenases TET2/3, which led to an increased 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) level in the PD-L1 promoter.

Dual-AIEgens in one organoplatinum(II) metallaprism: photoluminescence exploration.

Two sets of - isostructural metallaprisms were constructed from the controlling linkage of a Pt-corner, and a linear and quadrilateral AIE ligand. The combination of two AIEgens of TPE and the Pt-corner into one system endows these isomers with interesting AIE functions.

Bis(β-diketone)-based metallacycles with haloalkane-induced fluorescence enhancement.

A series of metallarectangles 1-5 were synthesized by the selective combination of (p-cymene)Ru-corner, bis(β-diketone) arms and bifunctional pyridyl linkers. They exhibited a very rare phenomenon of haloalkane-induced fluorescence enhancement.

First Report of Causing Apple Glomerella Leaf Spot on the Granny Smith Cultivar in China.

Glomerella leaf spot (GLS) is a devastating fungal disease causing pre-mature defoliation on apple (). It was first reported in 1970s and since then has been reported in North America, South America and Asia. GLS disease is caused by fungi and the pathogens are genetically diverse, encompassing at least nine species belonging to three species complexes (Velho et al.

[Human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cell transplantation promotes long-term neurobehavioral functional development of newborn SD rats with hypoxic ischemic brain injury].

Objective: To explore the effect of human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells (UCBMC) promoting nerve behavior function and brain tissue recovery of neonatal SD rat with hypoxic ischemic brain injury (HIBI).

Method: A modified newborn rat model that had a combined hypoxic and ischemic brain injury as described by Rice-Vannucci was used, early nervous reflex, the Morris water maze and walking track analysis were used to evaluate nervous behavioral function, and brain MRI, HE staining to evaluate brain damage recovery.

Result: Newborn rat Rice-Vannucci model showed significant brain atrophy, obvious hemiplegia of contralateral limbs,e.
