Abstract Activating the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway is critical for enhancing antitumor immunity and remodeling immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, we report preparation STING‐activating nanoparticles via metal coordination‐driven assembly a synthetic STING agonist (i.e., SR717) chemotherapeutic drug curcumin). After intravenous administration, assembled could efficiently accumulate in tumors to improve bioavailability SR717 trigger potent...

Ten cytoselective compounds have been identified from 372 thiazolidinone analogues by applying iterative library approaches. These selectively killed both non-small cell lung cancer line H460 and its paclitaxel-resistant variant H460taxR at an IC50 between 0.21 2.93 µM while showing much less toxicity to normal human fibroblasts concentrations up 195 µM. Structure–activity relationship studies revealed that (1) the nitrogen atom on 4-thiazolidinone ring (ring B in Figure 1) cannot be...

The induction of autophagy by nanoparticles causes nanotoxicity, but appropriate modulation may have therapeutic potential. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) interact with cell membranes and membrane-associated molecules before after internalization. These interactions alter cellular signaling impact major functions such as cycle, apoptosis, autophagy. In this work, we demonstrated that MWCNT-cell can be modulated varying densely distributed surface ligands on MWCNTs. Using a fluorescent...

In this study, the ZmPIS gene with a maize ubiquitin promoter was introduced into (Zea mays L.) inbred line DH4866 by an Agrobacterium‐mediated method to explore function of in response drought stress. The overexpression resulted significantly elevated levels most phospholipids, galactolipids leaves compared those WT and markedly up‐regulated expression some genes involved phospholipids metabolism pathway ABA biosynthesis after Consistent these results, stress tolerance sense transgenic...

We report the one-step assembly of vaccine particles by encapsulating ovalbumin (OVA) and cytosine-phosphate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG) into poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-mediated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 nanoparticles (OVA-CpG@ZIF-8 NPs), where PEG improves stability dispersity ZIF-8 NPs protect encapsulated OVA CpG to circumvent cold chain issue. Compared with free OVA-encapsulated (OVA@ZIF-8) NPs, OVA-CpG@ZIF-8 can enhance antigen uptake, cross-presentation, dendritic cell...

This study aims to investigate the potential nanotoxic effects of TiO2 nanoparticles (TNPs) dams and pups during lactation period. are accumulated in mammary glands lactating mice after i.v. administration. accumulation NP likely causes a ROS-induced disruption tight junction blood-milk barrier as indicated by loss proteins shedding alveolar epithelial cells. Compared larger TNPs (50 nm), smaller ones (8 nm) exhibit higher more potent causing perturbations barrier. An alarming finding is...
