The targeted degradation of membrane proteins would afford an attractive and general strategy for treating various diseases that remain difficult with the current proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) methodology. We herein report a covalent nanobody-based PROTAC strategy, termed GlueTAC, protein high specificity efficiency. first established mass-spectrometry-based screening platform rapid development nanobody (GlueBody) allowed proximity-enabled cross-linking surface antigens on cancer...

Activating intra-tumor innate immunity might enhance tumor immune surveillance. Virotherapy is proposed to achieve cell killing, while indirectly activating immunity. Here, we report that recombinant poliovirus therapy primarily mediates antitumor immunotherapy via direct infection of non-malignant microenvironment (TME) cells, independent malignant lysis. Relative other agonists, virotherapy provokes selective, TBK1-IRF3 driven inflammation associated with sustained type-I/III interferon...

Viruses naturally engage innate immunity, induce antigen presentation, and mediate CD8 T cell priming against foreign antigens. Polioviruses can provide a context optimal for generating antigen-specific cells, as they have natural tropism dendritic preeminent inducers of immunity; elicit Th1-promoting inflammation; lack interference with or adaptive immunity. However, notorious genetic instability underlying neuropathogenicity has hampered poliovirus-based vector applications. Here we...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by a progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons and consequent dopamine (DA) deficit, current treatment still remains challenge. Although neural stem cells (NSCs) have been evaluated as appealing graft sources, mechanisms underlying the beneficial phenomena are not well understood. Here, we investigate whether human NSCs (hNSCs) transplantation could provide neuroprotection against DA depletion recruiting endogenous to establish favorable niche. Adult...

Abstract Background Malignant gliomas commandeer dense inflammatory infiltrates with glioma-associated macrophages and microglia (GAMM) promoting immune suppression, evasion, tumor progression. Like all cells in the mononuclear phagocytic system, GAMM constitutively express poliovirus receptor, CD155. Besides myeloid cells, CD155 is widely upregulated neoplastic compartment of malignant gliomas. Intratumor treatment highly attenuated rhino:poliovirus chimera, PVSRIPO, yielded long-term...

Abstract Prevention and intervention methods are urgently needed to curb the global pandemic of coronavirus disease‐19 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2). Herein, a general pro‐antigen strategy for subunit vaccine development based on reversibly formulated receptor binding domain SARS‐CoV‐2 spike protein (S‐RBD) is reported. Since poor lymph node targeting uptake S‐RBD antigen‐presenting cells prevent effective immune responses, into reversible nanogel...

Background Antitumor mechanisms of CD4 + T cells remain crudely defined, and means to effectively harness T-cell help for cancer immunotherapy are lacking. Pre-existing memory hold potential be leveraged this purpose. Moreover, the role pre-existing immunity in virotherapy, particularly recombinant poliovirus where childhood polio vaccine specific is ubiquitous, remains unclear. Here we tested hypothesis that vaccine-specific mediate antitumor contribute efficacy virotherapy. Methods The...

Background: Physicians play a unique role in scientific and clinical research, which is the cornerstone of evidence-based medical practice. In China, tertiary public hospitals link promotions bonuses with publications. However, weight placed on research clinician’s evaluation process its potential impact practice have come under controversy. Despite heated debate about physicians’ there little empirical evidence relationship between publications their outcomes. Method: This paper examines...

Abstract BACKGROUND H3 K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is invariably lethal. Viruses naturally engage innate immunity, induce antigen presentation, and mediate CD8 T cell priming against foreign antigens. Polioviruses, in particular, are uniquely tropic for dendritic cells (DC) potently activate DC, inducing Th1-dominant cytokine profiles, enhanced epitope presentation. Thus, poliovirus ideally suited vectored delivery of signature tumor neoantigens, e.g. the K27M feature DMG....
