All HIV vaccine trials with protein, DNA, non-replication vector or their combinations failed in the past. We constructed the HIV-1 CN54 env, gag, and pol genes into both DNA and replicating vaccinia virus Tiantan vectors. In phase Ia, 12 healthy adults were given high (n = 6) or low (n = 6) doses of recombinant vaccinia virus Tiantan vaccine (rTV), to test its safety dose. In phase Ib, 36 healthy adults were assigned to the DNA (n = 6), DNA-L/rTV (n = 12), DNA-H/rTV (n = 12), and placebo (n = 6) groups. The DNA vaccine was injected intramuscularly at weeks 0, 4, and 8 and rTV with a bifurcated needle at week 12. All vaccines tested were safe and well-tolerated; most of the adverse events (AEs) were mild to moderate. The most commonly observed AEs were redness and papule at rTV vaccination sites and axillary enlarged lymph nodes at the same rTV vaccination arm. Smaller cutaneous lesions and shorter healing time were observed in smallpox vaccine experienced subjects. The DNA prime-rTV boost regimen induced anti-gp120 IgG and polyfunctional CD4+ T cells. No significant differences of anti-HIV IgG and T cell responses were found between the two prime-boost groups with high and low DNA doses. Moreover, smallpox vaccine naïve subjects elicited higher T cell responses and anti-gp120 antibodies. The result of this trial supports further development of HIV vaccine with DNA and replicating vaccinia vector for advanced clinical trials.","PeriodicalId":21766,"journal":{"name":"Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy","volume":"27 1","pages":"208"},"PeriodicalIF":39.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144533398","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}

The main targets for current therapies in PH focus on the prostacyclin, nitric oxide, and endothelin pathways. While the approaches targeting these pathways form the foundation of standard PH treatment, the challenge remains to develop more effective therapeutic strategies. Evidence of pathological characteristics in PH illustrates other cell signaling pathways that also participate in the proliferation, apoptosis, extracellular matrix remodeling, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, and the intricate network of cell-cell interactions of endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, and macrophages. In this review, we explore the roles of twenty key signaling pathways in PH pathogenesis. Furthermore, the crosstalks among some pathways offer a more detailed understanding of the complex mechanisms of PH. Considering the crucial role of signaling pathways in PH progression, targeting these aberrant signaling or their hub molecules offers great potential for mitigating PH pathology. This review delves into a variety of therapeutic approaches for PH that target critical signaling pathways and network interactions, including gene therapy, cell therapy, and pharmacological interventions.

However, the mechanism underlying continuously activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling in pancreatic cancer, a context in which adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) mutations are rarely observed, remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the role of STYK1 in regulating canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling and pancreatic cancer tumorigenesis using the <i>LSL-Kras</i><sup><i>G12D</i></sup>; <i>Trp53</i><sup><i>R172H/+</i></sup>; <i>Pdx1</i><sup><i>Cre</i></sup> mouse model.

We further showed that STYK1-mediated GSK3β sequestration is impaired by autophagy inhibitors or in ATG7 knockout cells, linking this process to autophagic regulation. Structural analysis identified conserved tyrosine-based (Y191QRL194) and dileucine-based (GDLL203-204) sorting motifs in STYK1, which facilitate clathrin/AP2-dependent internalization essential for GSK3β sequestration. The phosphorylation of STYK1 at Y191 by BLK kinase enhances its interaction with AP2, thereby accelerating GSK3β sequestration and subsequent Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation. Notably, inhibitory peptides targeting either the STYK1-β-catenin or the STYK1-GSK3β interface significantly suppressed pancreatic cancer development in vitro and in vivo, underscoring their therapeutic potential.

Current therapeutic options often come with potentially severe side effects or lack long-term efficacy, highlighting the urgent need for more effective treatments. Identifying novel drug targets requires a thorough understanding of their physiological roles. Genome-wide association studies in humans have linked gene variants of the adhesion G protein-coupled receptor 133 (GPR133/ADGRD1) to variations in bone mineral density and body height. In this study, we explore the impact of GPR133/ADGRD1 on osteoblast differentiation and function. Constitutive and osteoblast-specific knockouts of <i>Gpr133/Adgrd1</i> in mice lead to reduced cortical bone mass and trabecularization in the femurs and vertebrae — features characteristic of osteoporosis. This osteopenic phenotype in receptor-deficient mice is caused by impaired osteoblast function, which, in turn, promotes increased osteoclast activity. At the molecular level, GPR133/ADGRD1 regulates osteoblast function and differentiation through a combined activation mechanism involving interaction with its endogenous ligand, protein tyrosine kinase 7 (PTK7), and mechanical forces. This is demonstrated in vitro through stretch assays and in vivo via a mechanical loading experiment. Further in vitro analysis shows that GPR133/ADGRD1-mediated osteoblast differentiation is driven by cAMP-dependent activation of the β-catenin signaling pathway. Activation of GPR133/ADGRD1 with the receptor-specific ligand AP-970/43482503 (AP503) enhances osteoblast function and differentiation, both in vitro and in vivo, significantly alleviating osteoporosis in a mouse ovariectomy model.

Despite extensive efforts, reliable plasma biomarkers to monitor drug activity remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate that metabolic reprogramming is a strategic response implemented by cancer cells to survive the therapeutic pressure. Sorafenib suppresses oxidative phosphorylation by disrupting electron transport chain supercomplex assembly and enhancing glycolysis. To mitigate the accumulation of harmful glycolytic byproducts such as advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), sorafenib-treated cells reroute excess dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) toward glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) synthesis, supporting glycerolipid metabolism, NAD<sup>+</sup> regeneration, and redox balance, rather than producing D-lactate via the glyoxalase pathway. Alongside, resistant cells enhance serine metabolism to boost glutathione synthesis, reinforcing antioxidant defenses. Additionally, sorafenib increases reliance on exogenous non-esterified free fatty acids and triglycerides for phospholipid remodeling. The combined effects of glycerolipid remodeling and enhanced antioxidant capacity facilitate ferroptosis escape, diminishing sorafenib’s activity. Leveraging these metabolic insights, we validate our findings by investigating plasma metabolites alteration in HCC patients. We identify D-lactate accumulation as a predictor of treatment response and glycerol accumulation as a marker of resistance, highlighting their potential as novel biomarkers for sorafenib activity.

In cervical cancer patients, regardless of PD-L1 expression, the ORR was 52.4%, DCR was 90.5% and median PFS was 5.8 months. Notably, the 15 mg combination dose demonstrated a median PFS of 7.8 months. In conclusion, the safety profile of onatasertib in combination with toripalimab was manageable and showed encouraging clinical activity in advanced solid tumors, particularly among cervical cancer patients, irrespective of PD-L1 expression. The recommended phase 2 dose for the combination was determined to be onatasertib 15 mg QD and toripalimab 240 mg Q3W.","PeriodicalId":21766,"journal":{"name":"Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy","volume":"21 1","pages":"198"},"PeriodicalIF":39.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144478709","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}
