Checkpoint immunotherapy has yielded meaningful responses across many cancers but shown modest efficacy in advanced prostate cancer. B7 homolog 3 protein (B7-H3/CD276) is an immune checkpoint molecule and emerged as a promising therapeutic target. However, much remains to be understood regarding B7-H3's role cancer progression, predictive biomarkers for B7-H3-targeted therapy, combinatorial strategies. Our multi-omics analyses identified B7-H3 one of the most abundant checkpoints tumors...

Elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is an important risk factor in the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Inhibitors proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), a negative regulator LDL-C metabolism, have emerged as promising approaches for reducing elevated levels. Here, we evaluated cholesterol-lowering efficacy virus-like particle (VLP) based vaccines that target epitopes found within LDL receptor (LDL-R) binding domain PCSK9. In...

Abstract Despite receiving surgical or medical castration, most prostate cancer (PCa) patients eventually progress to castration-resistant (CRPC), where the androgen receptor (AR) continues drive disease progression. Genomic studies have identified a unique subtype of PCa marked by mutations in speckle-type BTB/POZ protein (SPOP), which lead stabilization AR and its co-activators been associated with prolonged responses deprivation therapies favorable prognoses. However, SPOP frequently...
