Glioblastoma is one of the most challenging and intractable tumors with difficult treatment poor prognosis. Unsatisfactory traditional systemic chemotherapies for glioblastoma are mainly attributed to insufficient nonspecific drug delivery into brain as well incomplete release at tumor sites. Inspired by facts that angiopep-2 peptide an acknowledged dual-targeting moiety tumor-targeting high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ideal trigger ultrahigh energy millimeter-sized focus ability, in...

Abstract Foxp3 + regulatory T cells (Tregs) can inhibit immune responses and maintain tolerance by secreting immunosuppressive TGF-β1 IL-10. However, the efficiency of Tregs become major obstacle to their use for immunotherapy. In this study, we investigated relevance C-type lectin receptor CD69 suppressive function. Compared CD4 − (CD69 Tregs), Tregs) displayed stronger ability tolerance. expressed higher levels suppression-associated markers such as CTLA-4, ICOS, CD38 GITR, secreted IL-10...

Previous studies on the treatment of hepatic cirrhosis have been focusing how to inhibit liver fibrosis, while ignoring inflammation, a key and underlying factor that promotes cirrhosis. High mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) protein, pro-inflammatory fibroblast chemokine, can promote proliferation stellate cells (HSCs) development inflammation playing role in formation. In this study, we prepared pPB peptide (C*SRNLIDC*)-modified HMGB1-siRNA-loaded stable nucleic acid lipid nanoparticles...

Abstract Few prospective studies have examined posttransplant chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell infusion as candidates for front‐line consolidation therapy high‐risk multiple myeloma (MM) patients. This single‐arm exploratory clinical trial is the first to evaluate safety and efficacy of sequential anti‐CD19 anti‐BCMA CAR‐T infusion, followed by lenalidomide maintenance after autologous stem transplantation (ASCT), in 10 newly diagnosed (NDMM) The treatment was generally well tolerated,...

We have previously demonstrated that exosomes from dendritic cells (DCs) secreting TGF‐β1 (sTGF‐β1‐EXOs) delay the development of murine inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this study, we isolated DCs expressing membrane‐associated (mTGF‐β1‐EXOs) and found mTGF‐β1‐EXOs had more potent immunosuppressive activity than sTGF‐β1‐EXOs in vitro. Treatment mice with inhibited progression myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) peptide‐induced EAE even after onset. also impaired Ag‐specific Th1...

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy demonstrates impressive efficacy in relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, CAR-T therapy-related severe cytokine release syndrome and neurological toxicity limit its clinical application R/R DLBCL patients with high tumor burden. Here, we conducted a phase II trial testing the toxicities of non-Hodgkin (NCT03196830). Among enrolled patients, 10 burden were analyzed. Before therapy, 4 treated intensive...

T cells expressing a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) engineered to target CD19 can treat leukemia effectively but also increase the risk of complications such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and CAR cell related encephalopathy (CRES) driven by interleukin-6 (IL-6). Here, we investigated whether IL-6 knockdown in CART-19 reduce secretion from monocytes, which may adverse events.Supernatants cocultures regular B lymphoma were added monocytes vitro, levels monocyte supernatants measured 24 h...

The application of nano drug delivery systems (NDDSs) may enhance the effectiveness chemotherapeutic drugs in vivo. However, short blood circulation time and poor release profile vivo are still two problems with them. Herein, by using red cell membrane (RBCm) wrapping pH sensitive technology, we prepared RBCm wrapped poly(l-γ-glutamylcarbocistein)-paclitaxel (PGSC-PTX) nanoparticles (PGSC-PTX@RBCm NPs), to prolong PTX timely adequately acidic tumor environment. PGSC-PTX NPs PGSC-PTX@RBCm...

Hepatic fibrosis is a necessary process in the development of liver diseases such as hepatic cirrhosis and its complications, which has become serious threat to human health. Currently, antifibrotic drug treatment ineffective, one reason should be lack targeting ability. In this report, polypeptide pPB-modified stable nucleic acid lipid nanoparticles (pPB-SNALPs) were prepared selectively deliver siRNAs against heat shock protein 47 for targeted therapy fibrosis. First, siRNA sequences with...

Abstract The low rate of durable response against relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in recent studies indicates that chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell (CART) treatment is yet to be optimized. This study aims investigate the safety and efficacy sequential infusion CD19‐CART B‐cell maturation (BCMA)‐CARTs for RRMM with a similar 3 + dose escalation combined toxicity sentinel design. We enrolled 10 patients, among whom 7 received autologous allogeneic infusion. median follow‐up...
