The world has experienced a global outbreak of the Monkeypox virus (MPXV), with 124,753 confirmed cases in 128 countries and a total of 272 fatalities as of February 13, 2025. This alarming increase in cases demands immediate attention to the underlying causes of the surge. The World Health Organization (WHO) has endorsed the use of the MVA-BN vaccine, which was previously approved for smallpox prevention. However, there are currently no antiviral treatments approved by the FDA for MPXV. In addition, the emergence of mutations in MPXV strains poses challenges for the development and effectiveness of viable vaccines. Developing conventional vaccines is typically expensive, time-consuming, and requires extensive validation processes. Moreover, these vaccines often demonstrate suboptimal efficacy against emerging viral strains. As a response to these challenges, multi-epitope vaccines have gained significant interest for their potential to activate B-cell and T-cell responses, providing prolonged immunological activity against pathogens. These vaccines feature a targeted approach, offering chemical stability, non-infectious properties, rapid and cost-effective production, enhanced safety, and the potential to elicit a robust immune response. Several studies employing immunoinformatics have confirmed the efficacy of multi-epitope vaccines, designed to provide comprehensive immune protection against MPXV. These vaccines promise to deliver a strong immune response, better coverage against various viral strains and variants, and improved stability and effectiveness. In addition, they are expected to be non-allergenic, non-toxic, and highly antigenic. While promising results have been reported regarding the use of these vaccines for monkeypox, further research on their efficacy, delivery systems, and additional preclinical and clinical trials is crucial to maximize their benefits for humanity.</p>","PeriodicalId":49194,"journal":{"name":"Human Cell","volume":"38 5","pages":"126"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144592789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mice were intravenously injected with 1 × 10<sup>6</sup> hucMSCs/ hucMSCs-Exo via the tail vein 6 h after APAP administration. Liver pathological changes were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Subsequently, an in vitro model of liver cell failure and pyroptosis model was established using LO2 cells treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP). The levels of cell pyroptosis marker caspase-1 were detected by flow cytometry analysis, RT-qPCR assay, and western blot assay. The study employed a comprehensive approach, including flow cytometry analysis, RT-qPCR assay, miRNA sequencing, and luciferase reporter gene experiments. hucMSCs and hucMSCs- exosomes (MSCs-Exo) inhibited cell inflammation to improve ALF in vivo model of ALF and inhibited hepatocyte pyroptosis in LO2 cells induced by ATP and LPS. MiR-423-5p emerged as a potential mediator of the anti-pyroptotic effects of hucMSCs-Exo, with ZBP1 identified as one of its downstream targets. Subsequent validation confirmed that miR-423-5p targets ZBP1 to regulate pyroptosis. These findings highlight the role of hucMSCs-derived exosomal miR-423-5p in inhibiting hepatocyte pyroptosis in LO2 cells induced by ATP and LPS. miR-423-5p serves as a crucial mediator in this process, targeting ZBP1, a protein significantly involved in the pyroptotic pathway.

We aimed to elucidate the roles of circTADA2A in AML and the mechanisms involved. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR was used for verification of circTADA2A levels in AML specimens, and its diagnostic value and clinical significance were assessed. The effects of circTADA2A on proliferation and ferroptosis on THP-1 and HL-60 cells were carried out using cell counting kit-8, 5'-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine, Fe<sup>2+</sup>, lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) assays. Luciferase reporter, fluorescence in situ hybridization, RNA immunoprecipitation, and RNA pull-down assays were implemented to investigate the potential miRNAs that mediated circTADA2A functioning. We confirmed that circTADA2A levels were lowly expressed in plasma and bone marrow of AML patients, and associated with bone marrow blasts and cytogenetic risk. Plasma circTADA2A had a high sensitivity and specificity with an area under the curve value of 0.793 in differentiating AML patients from healthy individuals. THP-1 and HL-60 cells stably overexpressing circTADA2A exhibited reduced cell proliferation, and sensitized cell to ferroptosis by a ferroptosis inducer RSL3.

A series of in vitro assays were performed to explore the function and mechanisms of ARGs in malignant progression of prostate cancer.
