Prevention and treatment of HPV-related cancer through a mRNA vaccine expressing APC-targeting antigen.

Persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is associated with multiple malignancies. Developing therapeutic vaccines to eliminate HPV-infected and malignant cells holds significant value. In this study, we introduced a lipid nanoparticle encapsulated mRNA vaccine expressing tHA-mE7-mE6.

cRGD-targeted heparin nanoparticles for effective dual drug treatment of cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer.

Resistance to the chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin (DDP) is the primary reason for invalid chemotherapy of ovarian cancer. Given the complex mechanisms underlying chemo-resistance, the design of combination therapies based on blocking multiple mechanisms is a rationale to synergistically elevate therapeutic effect for effectively overcoming cancer chemo-resistance. Herein, we demonstrated a multifunctional nanoparticle (DDP-Ola@HR), which could simultaneously co-deliver DDP and Olaparib (Ola, DNA damage repair inhibitor) using targeted ligand cRGD peptide modified with heparin (HR) as nanocarrier, enabling the concurrent tackling of multiple resistance mechanisms to effectively inhibit the growth and metastasis of DDP-resistant ovarian cancer.

Characterization of the microenvironment in different immune-metabolism subtypes of cervical cancer with prognostic significance.

Immune cell infiltration and metabolic reprogramming may have great impact on the tumorigenesis and progression of malignancies. The interaction between these two factors in cervical cancer remains to be clarified. Here we constructed a gene set containing immune and metabolism related genes and we applied this gene set to molecular subtyping of cervical cancer.

STING signaling sensing of DRP1-dependent mtDNA release in kupffer cells contributes to lipopolysaccharide-induced liver injury in mice.

Aberrant pro-inflammatory activation of Kupffer cells (KCs) is strongly involved in the pathogenesis of septic liver injury. Recent evidence indicates the crucial roles of excessive stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling activation during sepsis. However, the role of STING signaling in septic liver injury remains unclear.
