In this study, we designed erythrocyte conjugated solely with a fusion protein consisting of an antigenic peptide linked to MHC class I (MHC-I) protein, termed MHC-I‒Ery. The modified erythrocyte, decorated with the peptide derived from human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 oncoprotein E6/E7, effectively activated antigen-specific CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from HPV16+ cervical cancer patients. Additionally, MHC-I‒Ery monotherapy was shown to inhibit antigen-positive tumor growth in mice. This treatment immediately activated CD8+ T cells and reduced suppressive myeloid cells in the spleen, leading to systemic anti-tumor activity. Safety and tolerability evaluations of MHC-I‒Ery in non-human primates further supported its clinical potential. Our results first demonstrated that erythrocytes equipped solely with antigen peptide‒MHC-I complexes can robustly stimulate the immune system, suggesting a novel and promising approach for advancing cancer immunotherapy.","PeriodicalId":9674,"journal":{"name":"Cell Discovery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":13.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11443136/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142342290","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}

We isolated and sequenced all single cells (1133) from in vitro cultured 20 human blastocysts. We found that all blastocysts exhibited mosaicism with mitotic-induced aneuploid cells and showed an ~25% aneuploidy rate per embryo. Moreover, 70% (14/20) of blastocysts contained 'chromosome-complementary' cells, suggesting genetic mosaicism is underestimated in routine PGT-A. Additionally, the analysis of 20,945 single cells from day 8-14 embryos (in vitro cultured) and embryonic/fetal organs showed that 97% of the analyzed embryos/organs were mosaic.

Here, utilizing multiomics data from our TNBC cohort (n = 465), we demonstrated widespread splicing deregulation and increased spliceosome abundance in the glycolytic TNBC subtype. We identified SNRNP200 as a crucial mediator of glucose-driven metabolic reprogramming. Mechanistically, glucose induces acetylation at SNRNP200 K1610, preventing its proteasomal degradation. Augmented SNRNP200 then facilitates splicing key metabolic enzyme-encoding genes (GAPDH, ALDOA, and GSS), leading to increased lactic acid and glutathione production. Targeting SNRNP200 with antisense oligonucleotide therapy impedes tumor metabolism and enhances the efficacy of anti-PD-1 therapy by activating intratumoral CD8+ T cells while suppressing regulatory T cells. Clinically, higher SNRNP200 levels indicate an inferior response to immunotherapy in glycolytic TNBCs.

However, the activation mechanisms of quiescent SCs (QSCs) remain largely unknown. Here, we investigated the metabolic regulation of SC activation by identifying regulatory metabolites that promote SC activation. Using targeted metabolomics, we found that spermidine acts as a regulatory metabolite to promote SC activation and muscle regeneration in mice. Mechanistically, spermidine activates SCs via generating hypusinated eIF5A. Using SC-specific eIF5A-knockout (KO) and Myod-KO mice, we further found that eIF5A is required for spermidine-mediated SC activation by controlling MyoD translation. More significantly, depletion of eIF5A in SCs results in impaired muscle regeneration in mice. Together, the findings of our study define a novel mechanism that is essential for SC activation and acts via spermidine-eIF5A-mediated MyoD translation. Our findings suggest that the spermidine-eIF5A axis represents a promising pharmacological target in efforts to activate endogenous SCs for the treatment of muscular disease.","PeriodicalId":9674,"journal":{"name":"Cell Discovery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":33.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142180176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This advancement leads to the development of highly efficient and specialized proteins with diverse applications across scientific, technological, and biomedical fields. This study establishes a pipeline for protein sequence generation with a conditional protein diffusion model, namely CPDiffusion, to create diverse sequences of proteins with enhanced functions. CPDiffusion accommodates protein-specific conditions, such as secondary structures and highly conserved amino acids. Without relying on extensive training data, CPDiffusion effectively captures highly conserved residues and sequence features for specific protein families. We applied CPDiffusion to generate artificial sequences of Argonaute (Ago) proteins based on the backbone structures of wild-type (WT) Kurthia massiliensis Ago (KmAgo) and Pyrococcus furiosus Ago (PfAgo), which are complex multi-domain programmable endonucleases. The generated sequences deviate by up to nearly 400 amino acids from their WT templates. Experimental tests demonstrated that the majority of the generated proteins for both KmAgo and PfAgo show unambiguous activity in DNA cleavage, with many of them exhibiting superior activity as compared to the WT. These findings underscore CPDiffusion’s remarkable success rate in generating novel sequences for proteins with complex structures and functions in a single step, leading to enhanced activity. This approach facilitates the design of enzymes with multi-domain molecular structures and intricate functions through in silico generation and screening, all accomplished without the need for supervision from labeled data.","PeriodicalId":9674,"journal":{"name":"Cell Discovery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":33.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142180175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Incorporating single-cell RNA-sequencing data from a local cohort and published SCLC data, we established a spatial proteo-transcriptomic landscape covering over 18,000 genes and 60 key immuno-oncology proteins that participate in signaling pathways affecting tumorigenesis, immune regulation, and cancer metabolism across 3 pathologically defined spatial compartments (pan-CK-positive tumor nest; CD45/CD3-positive tumor stroma; para-tumor). Our study depicted the spatial transcriptomic and proteomic TIME architecture of SCLC, indicating clear intra-tumor heterogeneity dictated via canonical neuroendocrine subtyping markers; revealed the enrichment of innate immune cells and functionally impaired B cells in tumor nest and suggested potentially important immunoregulatory roles of monocytes/macrophages.
