Abstract
This study investigates the role of SLC35A2-mediated bisected GlcNAc-modified small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in breast cancer (BC) lung metastasis. By modulating B3GALT1 expression, these sEVs regulate the pre-metastatic immune microenvironment, enhancing CD8+ T cell infiltration and reducing immune evasion. The use of β-peptide-loaded sEVs further amplifies anti-metastatic effects, as demonstrated in vivo mouse models and molecular analyses. These findings underscore the therapeutic potential of glycosylation-modified sEVs in enhancing immune responses and controlling BC metastasis.
期刊介绍:
International Immunopharmacology is the primary vehicle for the publication of original research papers pertinent to the overlapping areas of immunology, pharmacology, cytokine biology, immunotherapy, immunopathology and immunotoxicology. Review articles that encompass these subjects are also welcome.
The subject material appropriate for submission includes:
• Clinical studies employing immunotherapy of any type including the use of: bacterial and chemical agents; thymic hormones, interferon, lymphokines, etc., in transplantation and diseases such as cancer, immunodeficiency, chronic infection and allergic, inflammatory or autoimmune disorders.
• Studies on the mechanisms of action of these agents for specific parameters of immune competence as well as the overall clinical state.
• Pre-clinical animal studies and in vitro studies on mechanisms of action with immunopotentiators, immunomodulators, immunoadjuvants and other pharmacological agents active on cells participating in immune or allergic responses.
• Pharmacological compounds, microbial products and toxicological agents that affect the lymphoid system, and their mechanisms of action.
• Agents that activate genes or modify transcription and translation within the immune response.
• Substances activated, generated, or released through immunologic or related pathways that are pharmacologically active.
• Production, function and regulation of cytokines and their receptors.
• Classical pharmacological studies on the effects of chemokines and bioactive factors released during immunological reactions.
