Here, we examined microRNA (miRNA) expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells. We performed miRNA sequencing in exosomes and cells of KYSE150 and KYSE450 cell lines. Among these differentially expressed miRNAs, 20 of the miRNAs were detected in cells and exosomes. A heat map indicated that the level of miR-451a was higher in exosomes than in ESCC cells. Furthermore, miRNA pull-down assays and combined exosomes proteomic data showed that miR-451a interacts with YWHAE. Over-expression of YWHAE leads to miR-451a accumulation in the exosomes instead of the donor cells. We found that miR-451a was sorted into exosomes. However, the biological function of miR-451a remains unclear in ESCC. Here, Dual-luciferase reporter assay was conducted and it was proved that CAB39 is a target gene of miR-451a. Moreover, CAB39 is related to TGF-β1 from RNA-sequencing data of 155 paired of ESCC tissues and the matched tissues. Western Blot and qPCR revealed that CAB39 and TGF-β1 were positively correlated in ESCC. Over-expression of CAB39 were cocultured with PBMCs from the blood from healthy donors. Flow cytometry assays showed that apoptotic cells were significantly reduced after CAB39 over-expression and significantly increased after treated with TGF-β1 inhibitors. Thus, our data indicate that CAB39 weakens antitumor immunity through TGF-β1 in ESCC. In summary, YWHAE selectively sorted miR-451a into exosomes and it can weaken antitumor immunity promotes tumor progression through CAB39.","PeriodicalId":9577,"journal":{"name":"Cancer gene therapy","volume":"31 7","pages":"1060-1069"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140635102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the information regarding the vulnerability of cancer cells to the inhibition of cleavage and polyadenylation (CPA) machinery is very scattered. Only few recent reports show the antitumor activity of pharmacological inhibitors of CPSF3, one among CPA factors. More in general, the fact that deregulated CPA can be seen as a new hallmark of cancer and as a potential reservoir of novel therapeutic targets has never been formalized. Here, to extend our view on the potential of CPA inhibition (CPAi) approaches as anticancer therapies, we systematically tested the fitness of about one thousand cell lines of different cancer types upon depletion of all known CPA factors by interrogating genome-scale CRISPR and RNAi dependency maps of the DepMap project. Our analysis confirmed core and accessory CPA factors as novel vulnerabilities for human cancer, thus highlighting the potential of CPAi as anticancer therapy. Among all, CPSF1 appeared as a promising actionable candidate for drug development, as it showed low dependency scores pancancer and particularly in highly proliferating cells. In a personalized medicine perspective, the observed differential vulnerability of cancer cell lines to selected CPA factors may be used to build up signatures to predict response of individual human tumors to CPAi approaches.","PeriodicalId":9577,"journal":{"name":"Cancer gene therapy","volume":"31 7","pages":"957-960"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140608661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, the quest for novel strategies has become imperative to safeguard and more effectively release the full functions of engineered T cells. These factors are intricately linked to the success of adoptive cell therapy. Recently, CRISPR-based technologies have emerged as a major breakthrough for maintaining T cell functions. These technologies have allowed the discovery of T cells’ negative regulators such as specific cell-surface receptors, cell-signaling proteins, and transcription factors that are involved in the development or maintenance of T cell dysfunction. By employing a CRISPR-genic invalidation approach to target these negative regulators, it has become possible to prevent the emergence of hypofunctional T cells. This review revisits the establishment of the dysfunctional profile of T cells before delving into a comprehensive summary of recent CRISPR-gene invalidations, with each invalidation contributing to the enhancement of engineered T cells’ antitumor capacities.

Telomerase by preventing telomere shortening can extend the number of cell divisions for cancer cells. In adult pancreatic cells, telomeres gradually shorten, while in precancerous lesions of cancer, telomeres in cells are usually significantly shortened. At this time, telomerase is still in an inactive state, and it is not until before and after the onset of cancer that telomerase is reactivated, causing cancer cells to proliferate. Methylation of the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter and regulation of telomerase by lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) is the mechanism of telomerase reactivation in pancreatic cancer. Understanding the role of telomeres and telomerase in pancreatic cancer will help to diagnose and initiate targeted therapy as early as possible.

The novel RevTM efficiently redirects RevCAR modified T and NK-92 cells and leads to the killing of GBM cells both in vitro and in vivo.

High expression of SDCBP is associated with non-response to immunotherapy and correlated with poorer disease-free survival (DFS) in CRC patients. Inhibiting SDCBP by transfecting shRNA or using its inhibitor zinc pyrithione (ZnPT) hindered proliferation and metastasis while enhancing the efficacy of aPD1 treatment in a mouse xenograft model and liver metastasis model. The TME of CRC was significantly altered following ZnPT treatment characterized by a reduced amount of M2 macrophages and a heightened percentage of M1 macrophages. The co-culture system of CRC cells and macrophages provided evidence that SDCBP silencing promoted the repolarisation of M2 macrophages into M1. SDCBP promotes the proliferation, metastasis, and immunotherapy resistance of CRC. Thus, ZnPT represents an effective SDCBP inhibitor and exhibits considerable potential for combination with aPD1 to enhance immunotherapy efficacy.","PeriodicalId":9577,"journal":{"name":"Cancer gene therapy","volume":"31 5","pages":"755-765"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140329650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
