Synergistic Combination of Oral Transcytotic Nanomedicine and Histone Demethylase Inhibitor for Enhanced Cancer Chemoimmunotherapy.

ACS Nano

December 2024

Zhejiang Key Laboratory of Smart Biomaterials and Center for Bionanoengineering, College of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China.

Oral nanomedicines present a preferable avenue for cancer immunotherapy, but their efficacy is limited by gastrointestinal absorption challenges, tumor physiopathologic barriers, and immune evasion mechanisms. Here, we present an approach that combines an oral transcytotic doxorubicin (DOX) nanomedicine with the histone demethylase inhibitor 5-carboxy-8-hydroxyquinoline (IOX1), thereby enabling synergistic chemoimmunotherapy. We demonstrate that IOX1 significantly augments the transcytosis capabilities of DOX-loaded poly(2-(-oxide-,-diethylamino)ethylmethacrylate)-poly(ε-caprolactone) micelles (OPDOX), promoting their transcellular transport across various cellular barriers (villus, endothelial, and tumor cells), thus improving oral adsorption, vascular extravasation, and tumor penetration.

Physiopathological Roles of White Adiposity and Gut Functions in Neuroinflammation.

Int J Mol Sci

October 2024

Instituto de Estudios Inmunológicos y Fisiopatológicos (IIFP-UNLP-CONICET-CICPBA), School of Sciences, University of La Plata, La Plata 1900, Argentina.

White adipose tissue (WAT) and the gut are involved in the development of neuroinflammation when an organism detects any kind of injury, thereby triggering metainflammation. In fact, the autonomous nervous system innervates both tissues, although the complex role played by the integrated sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric nervous system functions have not been fully elucidated. Our aims were to investigate the participation of inflamed WAT and the gut in neuroinflammation.

Navigating the complex relationship between human gut microbiota and breast cancer: Physiopathological, prognostic and therapeutic implications.

Cancer Treat Rev

November 2024

Department of Medicine, Surgery and Health Sciences, University of Trieste, Trieste, Italy; Multidisciplinary Unit of Breast Pathology and Translational Research, Cremona Hospital, Cremona, Italy. Electronic address:

The human body represents the habitat of trillions of symbiotic microorganisms, collectively known as human microbiota, approximately half of which residing in the gut. The development of next-generation sequencing techniques has boosted the profiling of human microbiota in recent years. A growing body of evidence seems to support a strict relationship between the disruption of the mutualistic relationship between the microbiota and the host (i.
