Since the first case of human infection in March 2013, continued reports of H7N9 cases highlight a potential pandemic threat. Highly immunogenic vaccines to this virus are urgently needed to protect vulnerable populations who lack protective immunity. In this study, an egg- and adjuvant-independent adenoviral vector-based, hemagglutinin H7 subtype influenza vaccine (HAd-H7HA) demonstrated enhanced cell-mediated immunity as well as serum antibody responses in a mouse model. Most importantly, this vaccine provided complete protection against homologous A/H7N9 viral challenge suggesting its potential utility as a pandemic vaccine.

Lines of evidence have indicated that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an independent risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA) progression. However, the study focused on the relationship between T2DM and OA at the transcriptional level remains empty. We downloaded OA- and T2DM-related bulk RNA-sequencing and single-cell RNA sequencing data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset.

Polyomavirus enhancer activator 3 (PEA3), an ETS transcription factor, has been documented to regulate the development and metastasis of human cancers. Nonetheless, a thorough analysis examining the relationship between the PEA3 subfamily members and tumour development, prognosis, and the tumour microenvironment (TME) across various cancer types has not yet been conducted. The expression profiles and prognostic significance of the PEA3 subfamily were evaluated using data from the GEO, TCGA, and PrognoScan databases, in conjunction with COX regression analyses and the Kaplan-Meier Plotter.

Chronic damage following oncogene induction or cancer therapy can produce cellular senescence. Senescent cells not only exit the cell cycle but communicate damage signals to their environment that can trigger immune responses. Recent work has revealed that senescent tumor cells are highly immunogenic, leading to new ways to activate antitumor immunosurveillance and potentiate T cell-directed immunotherapies.

Immunogenic cell death (ICD) has recently emerged as a promising strategy in reinforcing anti-PD-L1 blockade immunotherapy of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib (PAL), as a clinical star medicine targeting the cell cycle machinery, is an ideal candidate for fabricating a highly efficient ICD inducer for TNBC chemoimmunotherapy. However, the frequently observed chemoresistance and clinical adverse effects, as well as significant antagonistic effects when co-administered with certain chemotherapeutics, have seriously restricted the efficiency of PAL and the feasibility of combination strategies.

Discovery of cancer immunogenic chemotherapeutics represents an emerging, highly promising direction for cancer treatment that uses a chemical drug to achieve the efficacy of both chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Herein, we report a high-throughput screening platform and the subsequent discovery of a new class of cancer immunogenic chemotherapeutic leads. Our platform integrates informatics-based activity metabolomics for the rapid identification of microbial natural products with both novel structures and potent activities.
