We developed a protocol to convert human primary hepatocytes into expandable hepatocyte-derived liver progenitor-like cells (HepLPCs), which secrete high levels of matrix metalloproteinases and hepatocyte growth factor. In a thioacetamide-induced rat model of cirrhosis, human HepLPCs demonstrated potent anti-fibrotic properties and promoted liver regeneration. Biodistribution studies revealed that most xenogenic HepLPCs were cleared from the body within one week, suggesting that their therapeutic benefits likely arise from paracrine signaling rather than long-term engraftment. We initiated a first-in-human clinical trial involving nine patients with cirrhosis to evaluate the feasibility and safety of HepLPCs. Preclinical toxicity assessments in 36 crab-eating macaques confirmed the safety of HepLPC treatment. In the clinical trial, nine patients (mean age: 53 years), primarily with HBV-related cirrhosis, received HepLPCs via trans-hepatic arterial infusion without immunosuppressants. No serious adverse event was observed, and the minor adverse events were consistent with those commonly seen in cirrhosis patients. The treatment was well tolerated, with no transfusion reactions or dose-limiting toxicities. While significant changes in Child-Pugh and MELD scores were not observed, some patients showed improvements in liver biochemical parameters, coagulation profiles, and portal hypertension indicators during the six-month follow-up. These findings indicate that HepLPC therapy is safe and feasible, offering a promising new strategy for treating cirrhosis.

However, unlike conventional monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), sdAbs lack an Fc domain, limiting their functional versatility and manufacturability. To address this challenge, we developed TFDesign-sdAb, a deep learning-based generative-ranking framework that enables rational engineering of sdAbs with tailored functionalities. Our framework integrates a structure-aware diffusion model (IgGM) for large-scale candidate generation and a fine-tuned sorter (A2binder) that evaluates and prioritizes them based on predicted functionality. Unlike traditional CDR-focused approaches, TFDesign-sdAb optimizes both complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) and framework regions (FRs), allowing sdAbs to acquire new functional properties while maintaining antigen specificity. We validated our approach by conferring Protein A binding to human VHs and nanobodies that originally lacked this feature, achieving high expression rates, strong binding affinities, and successful purification via industry-standard Protein A affinity chromatography. High-resolution structural characterization (1.49 Å and 2.0 Å) of the redesigned sdAb-Protein A complexes revealed conserved FR-mediated binding motifs that recapitulate natural Fc-Protein A interactions, validating the accuracy of our model. Furthermore, our pipeline streamlined the antibody engineering process, achieving a 100% success rate in generating Protein A-binding sdAbs while maintaining their original antigen-binding affinity.

However, the intricate interplay between lactylation and ferroptosis in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains to be fully elucidated. Utilizing metabolomic profiling and comprehensive metabolic library screening, our study uncovers that ferroptosis markedly enhances lactic acid accumulation and subsequent protein lactylation, which in turn confers resistance to ferroptosis in LUAD cells. Functional assays, comprising cell viability tests, lipid peroxidation detection, as well as malondialdehyde and glutathione measurements, collectively reveal that SUMO2-K11 lactylation (SUMO2-K11la), the most prominently elevated lactylation in response to ferroptosis induction, serves as a pivotal factor in determining ferroptosis resistance. Sumoylation proteomics and co-immunoprecipitation assays reveal that SUMO2-K11la impairs the interaction between SUMO2 and ACSL4. Consequently, this disruption facilitates the degradation of ACSL4, thereby disrupting lipid metabolism and effectively mitigating ferroptosis. Furthermore, AARS1 is identified as the lactyltransferase and HDAC1 as the delactylase for SUMO2-K11la. Based on these findings, we develop a cell-penetrating peptide that competitively and specifically inhibits SUMO2-K11la. This peptide significantly potentiates ferroptosis and sensitizes LUAD to cisplatin in xenograft models, while enhancing chemoimmunotherapy responses in spontaneous lung cancer models. Overall, our findings imply that SUMO2-K11la is a pivotal regulator of ferroptosis resistance in LUAD, and suggest a promising strategy to potentiate ferroptosis-based cancer therapies via targeting SUMO2-K11la by the cell-penetrating peptide.</p>","PeriodicalId":9674,"journal":{"name":"Cell Discovery","volume":"11 1","pages":"81"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12504568/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145243947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we reveal that certain anticancer drugs can bind to newly synthesized proteins prior to reaching their canonical targets, resulting in various forms of protein damage. This binding disrupts protein functions, particularly those of mitochondrial proteins, resulting in substantial cytotoxicity. The protein damage is further exacerbated by mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generated as a consequence of the initial damage, creating a positive feedback loop. In response, cancer cells rapidly initiate a chain of events, which we term the Protein Damage Response (PDR). This includes damage recognition primarily mediated by protein ubiquitination and subsequent damage clearance via the proteasome system. Notably, patients with advanced, drug-resistant metastatic breast or colon cancers exhibit elevated proteasome activity. In an effort to predict drug resistance, we developed a sensitive kit for detecting proteasome levels, enabling the identification and subtyping of patients with high proteasome activity to support tailored therapeutic strategies. Using a three-dimensional tumor slice culture-based drug sensitivity assay and an investigator-initiated clinical trial, we demonstrate that three clinically approved proteasome inhibitors effectively overcome multidrug resistance in colon and breast cancer patients with elevated proteasome activity.</p>","PeriodicalId":9674,"journal":{"name":"Cell Discovery","volume":"11 1","pages":"80"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12484725/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145198424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
