Nefmut is very efficiently incorporated into EVs, thus conveying large amounts of fusion proteins into EVs released by transfected cells. This platform proved successful against highly immunogenic tumor-specific antigens. Here, we tested whether antigen-specific CD8+ T cell immune responses induced by engineered EVs can counteract the growth of tumors expressing two “self” tumor-associated antigens (TAAs): HOXB7 and Her2/neu. FVB/N mice were injected with DNA vectors expressing Nefmut fused to HOXB7 or Her2/neu, singly and in combination, before subcutaneous implantation of breast carcinoma cells co-expressing HOXB7 and Her2/neu. All mice immunized with the combination vaccine remained tumor-free, whereas groups vaccinated with single Nefmut-fused antigens were only partly protected, with stronger antitumor effects in Her2/neu-immunized mice. Double-vaccinated mice also controlled tumor growth upon a later tumor cell re-challenge. Importantly, co-vaccination also contained tumors in a therapeutic immunization setting. These results showed the efficacy of EV-based vaccination against two TAAs, and represent the first demonstration that HOXB7 may be targeted in multi-antigen immunotherapy strategies.","PeriodicalId":9577,"journal":{"name":"Cancer gene therapy","volume":"31 11","pages":"1688-1695"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41417-024-00831-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142280637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Colony formation, scratch healing, Transwell and CCK-8 assays were conducted to evaluate the effects of circMBOAT2 in the presence or absence of norepinephrine (NE) treatment on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cells, respectively. Additionally, A chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced depression with heterotopic transplantation LLC and injection of antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) targeting circMBOAT2 mouse model was established to evaluate the effect of chronic stress on tumorigenesis via circMBOAT2. Moreover, we investigated the regulatory effect of CCCTC binding factor (CTCF) on circMBOAT2 expression through in vivo and in vitro silencing of CTCF. Our results revealed a significant upregulation of circMBOAT2 in NSCLC cell lines and tumor tissues. circMBOAT2 knockdown inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cells, while NE treatment reversed the cell suppression effect caused by circMBOAT2 knockdown. Notably, CUMS promoted tumor growth, while silencing circMBOAT2 inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Furthermore, we identified CTCF as the upstream regulator of circMBOAT2, which exhibited upregulation in NSCLC cells and tissues. Knockdown of CTCF reversed the promotional effect of CUMS on circMBOAT2 expression and tumor growth.

In vitro, Cav-1 knockout in 4T1 cells suppressed extracellular vesicle secretion, cellular motility, and MMP secretion compared to controls.

The phenomenon of alternative RNA splicing dysregulation is a common hallmark in cancer, including PDAC, presenting new avenues for understanding and developing diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Our research focuses on EIF4A3, a core component of the Exon Junction Complex intimately linked to RNA splicing, and its role in PDAC. EIF4A3 is overexpressed in PDAC tissue and associated to clinical parameters of malignancy and poorer patient survival. Mechanistically, exploration of PDAC RNA-seq data unveiled the link of EIF4A3 to diverse malignancy processes, consistent with its association to key molecular pathways. EIF4A3 targeting in vitro decreased essential functional tumor features such as proliferation, migration, colony formation and sphere formation, while its in vivo targeting reduced tumor growth. EIF4A3 silencing in PDAC cell lines severely altered its transcriptional and spliceosomic landscapes, as shown by RNA-seq analyses, suggesting a role for EIF4A3 in maintaining RNA homeostasis. Our results indicate that EIF4A3 dysregulation in PDAC has a pleiotropic regulatory role on RNA biology, influencing key cellular functions. This paves the way to explore its potential as novel biomarker and actionable target candidate for this lethal cancer.","PeriodicalId":9577,"journal":{"name":"Cancer gene therapy","volume":"31 11","pages":"1646-1657"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41417-024-00814-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142131961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
