However, several treatment-related obstacles remain in CAR-T therapy, such as cytokine release syndrome, neurotoxicity, and high-frequency recurrence, which severely limit the long-term effects and can potentially be fatal. Therefore, strategies to increase the controllability and safety of CAR-T therapy are urgently needed. In this study, we engineered a genetic code expansion-based therapeutic system to achieve rapid CAR protein expression and regulation in response to cognate unnatural amino acids at the translational level. When the unnatural amino acid N-ε-((tert-butoxy) carbonyl)-l-lysine (BOCK) is absent, the CAR protein cannot be completely translated, and CAR-T is “closed”. When BOCK is present, complete translation of the CAR protein is induced, and CAR-T is “open”. Therefore, we investigated whether the BOCK-induced device can control CAR protein expression and regulate CAR-T cell function using a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments. First, we verified that the BOCK-induced genetic code expansion system enables the regulation of protein expression as a controllable switch. We subsequently demonstrated that when the system was combined with CAR-T cells, BOCK could effectively and precisely control CAR protein expression and induce CAR signaling activation. When incubated with tumor cells, BOCK regulated CAR-T cells cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner. Our results revealed that the presence of BOCK enables the activation of CAR-T cells with strong anti-tumor cytotoxicity in a NOG mouse model. Furthermore, we verified that the BOCK-induced CAR device provided NK cells with controllable anti-tumor activity, which confirmed the universality of this device. Our study systematically demonstrated that the BOCK-induced genetic code expansion system effectively and precisely regulates CAR protein expression and controls CAR-T cell anti-tumor effects in vitro and in vivo. We conclude that this controllable and reversible switch has the potential for more effective, secure, and clinically available CAR-based cellular immunotherapies.","PeriodicalId":16023,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hematology & Oncology","volume":"260 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":28.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142848834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We enrolled patients with CD20 + r/r B-NHL who had previously received at least two lines of therapy to receive a single-dose of amulirafusp alfa in the first 2 weeks, followed by a multiple-dose period, in which the patients received the same intravenous dose every week in 4-week cycles. The primary endpoints were to evaluate the safety, determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of amulirafusp alfa. Between May 22, 2020 and February 10, 2022, 48 patients with r/r B-NHL were enrolled and received amulirafusp alfa at the doses of 40–2000 μg/kg.

Frequently fracturing, they are challenging to treat surgically. Myeloma cells surviving treatment in the presumably protective environment of bone lesions impede their healing by continued impact on bone turnover and can explain regular progression of patients without detectable minimal residual disease (MRD). Locally applicable biomaterials could stabilize and foster healing of bone defects, simultaneously delivering anti-cancer compounds at systemically intolerable concentrations, overcoming drug resistance. We developed silica-collagen xerogels (sicXer) and bortezomib-releasing silica-collagen xerogels (boXer) for local treatment of osteolytic bone disease and MRD. In vitro and in vivo (tissue sections) release of bortezomib was assessed by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). Material impact on bone formation was assessed in vitro regarding osteoclast/osteoblast numbers and activity. In vivo, drilling defects in a rat- and the 5T33-myeloma mouse model were treated by both materials and assessed by immunohistochemistry, UPLC-MS/MS, µCT, and ToF-SIMS. The material’s anti-myeloma activity was assessed using ten human myeloma cell lines (HMCLs) and eight primary myeloma cell samples including four patients refractory to systemic bortezomib treatment. sicXer and boXer show primary stability comparable to trabecular bone. Granule size and preparation method tailor degradation as indicated by release of the xerogel components (silica and collagen) and bortezomib into culture medium. In vitro, both materials reduce osteoclast activity and do not negatively interfere with osteoblast differentiation and function. The presumed resulting net bone formation with maintained basic remodeling properties was validated in vivo in a rat bone defect model, showing significantly enhanced bone formation for boXer compared to non-treated defects. Both materials induce myeloma cell apoptosis in all HMCLs and primary myeloma cell samples. In the 5T33-myeloma mouse model, both materials stabilized drilling defects and locally controlled malignant plasma cell growth. The combination of stabilization of fracture-prone lesions, stimulation of bone healing, and anti-tumor effect suggest clinical testing of sicXer and boXer as part of a combined systemic/local treatment strategy in multiple myeloma and non-malignant diseases.","PeriodicalId":16023,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hematology & Oncology","volume":"87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":28.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142848828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is imperative to investigate cancer incidence, mortality rates, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) to enhance preventive measures and healthcare resource allocation. This study aimed to assess cancer burden and associated risk factors in 204 countries and territories between 1980 and 2021. We selected data on cancer incidence and mortality rates and associated risk factors from the global burden of disease (GBD) study tool for 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2021 and 1980 to 2021. We estimated the age-standardized incidence (ASIR) and age-standardized deaths (ASDR) of 34 cancer types categorized as level 3 causes based on the GBD hierarchy. In 2021, cancer accounted for 14.57% (95% uncertainty interval: 13.65–15.28) of total deaths and 8.8% (7.99–9.67) of total DALYs in both sexes globally. ASIR and ASDR were 790.33 (694.43–893.01) and 116.49 (107.28–124.69), respectively. Additionally, females exhibited higher ASIR than males (923.44 versus 673.09), while males exhibited higher ASDR than females (145.69 versus 93.60). This indicates that policymakers should focus on the importance of gender equality in healthcare. Non-melanoma skin cancer exhibited the highest ASIR (74.10) in both sexes, while digestive cancers accounted for 39.29% of all cancer-related deaths, and Asia exhibited the heaviest cancer burden. In females, breast cancer exhibited the highest ASIR (46.40) and ASDR (14.55). In males, tracheal, bronchial, and lung cancer exhibited the highest ASIR (37.85) and ASDR (34.32), highlighting the urgent need for targeted tobacco control measures. Different cancers in various countries exhibit unique characteristics. Therefore, policymakers should formulate specific prevention and control strategies that reflect the cancer in their country. Tobacco was the primary level 2 risk factor for cancer DALYs in males. It accounted for 29.32% (25.32–33.14) of all cancer DALYs. Dietary risks, alcohol consumption, and air pollution accounted for 5.89% (2.01–10.73), 5.48% (4.83–6.11), and 4.30% (2.77–5.95) of male cancer DALYs, respectively. Therefore, policymakers should prioritize smoking regulation and other carcinogenic risks. Cancer is a significant public health concern globally.
