Abstract Cancer immunotherapy targeting co-inhibitory pathways by checkpoint blockade shows remarkable efficacy in a variety of cancer types. However, only minority patients respond to treatment due the stochastic heterogeneity tumor microenvironment (TME). Recent advances single-cell RNA-seq technologies enabled comprehensive characterization immune system tumors but posed computational challenges on integrating and utilizing massive published datasets inform immunotherapy. Here, we present...

Abstract The efficacy of checkpoint immunotherapy to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) largely depends on the tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we demonstrate that CCL7 facilitates anti-PD-1 therapy for Kras LSL−G12D/+ Tp53 fl/fl (KP) and Lkb1 (KL) NSCLC mouse models by recruiting conventional DC 1 (cDC1) into TME promote T expansion. exhibits high expression in tissues is positively correlated with infiltration cDC1 overall survival patients. deficiency impairs subsequent expansion CD8 +...

Abstract Background Cognitive impairment, an increasing mental health issue, is a core feature of the aging brain and neurodegenerative diseases. Industrialized nations especially, have experienced marked decrease in dietary fiber intake, but potential mechanism linking low intake cognitive impairment poorly understood. Emerging research reported that diversity gut microbiota Western populations significantly reduced. However, it unknown whether fiber-deficient diet (which alters microbiota)...

Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment, but most patients are refractory to immunotherapy or acquire resistance, with the underlying mechanisms remaining be explored.We characterized transcriptomes of ~92,000 single cells from 3 pre-treatment and 12 post-treatment non-small cell lung (NSCLC) who received neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade combined chemotherapy. The samples were categorized into two groups based on pathologic response: major response (MPR; n = 4) non-MPR (NMPR; 8).Distinct...

Gut homeostasis, including intestinal immunity and microbiome, is essential for cognitive function via the gut-brain axis. This axis altered in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced impairment closely associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Dimethyl itaconate (DI) an derivative has recently attracted extensive interest due to its anti-inflammatory effect. study investigated whether intraperitoneal administration of DI improves prevents deficits HF diet-fed mice.DI effectively attenuated...

Immunochemotherapy is the first-line standard for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Combining regimen with anti-angiogenesis may improve efficacy. ETER701 was a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial that investigated efficacy and safety of benmelstobart (a novel programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor) anlotinib multi-target anti-angiogenic small molecule) chemotherapy in treatment-naive ES-SCLC. The assessed two primary endpoints:...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is promising in cancer therapy by accelerating tumor cell death, whose therapeutic efficacy, however, greatly limited the hypoxia microenvironment (TME) and antioxidant defense. Amplification of oxidative stress has been successfully employed for therapy, but interactions between cells other factors TME usually lead to inadequate treatments. To tackle this issue, we develop a pH/redox dual-responsive nanomedicine based on remodeling cancer-associated fibroblasts...

Our pilot study using miRNA arrays found that miRNA-29c (miR-29c) is differentially expressed in the paired low-metastatic lung cancer cell line 95C compared to high-metastatic 95D. Bioinformatics analysis shows integrin β1 and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) could be important target genes of miR-29c. Therefore, we hypothesized miR-29c suppresses adhesion extracellular (ECM) metastasis by targeting MMP2. The gain-of-function studies raised expression 95D cells its mimics showed reductions...
