This enables covalently binding of the clickable inhibitor with PD-L1 and subsequent PD-L1 degradation. A pH-activatable nanoparticle responding to extracellular acidic pH of tumor was subsequently used to deliver the clickable PD-L1 inhibitor into extracellular tumor microenvironment for depleting PD-L1 on the surface of tumor cell and macrophage membranes in vivo. We further demonstrated that a combination of the clickable PD-L1 inhibitor with radiotherapy (RT) eradicated the established tumor by inhibiting RT–up-regulated PD-L1 in the tumor tissue.

Nerve terminals are sites of metabolic vulnerability, and we show that mitochondrial pyruvate uptake is a critical step in oxidative ATP production in hippocampal terminals. We find that the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier is post-translationally modified by lysine acetylation, which, in turn, modulates mitochondrial pyruvate uptake. Our data reveal that the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier regulates distinct steps in neurotransmission, namely, the spatiotemporal pattern of synaptic vesicle release and the efficiency of vesicle retrieval—functions that have profound implications for synaptic plasticity.
