The oncolytic adenovirus Delta-24-RGD in combination with ONC201 induces a potent antitumor response in pediatric high-grade and diffuse midline glioma models
CONCLUSIONS: The Delta-24-RGD/ONC201 combination improved the efficacy compared to each agent alone in in vitro and in vivo models by potentiating nuclear DNA damage and in turn improving the antitumor (immune) response to each agent alone.PMID:38554031 | DOI:10.1093/neuonc/noae066 (Source: Ann Oncol)

Optimal Conditions for Adenoviral Transduction of Immature Dendritic Cells Without Affecting the Tolerogenic Activity of DC-Based Immunotherapy
J Virol Methods. 2024 Mar 27:114921. doi: 10.1016/j.jviromet.2024.114921. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDendritic cells (DCs) play a pivotal role in maintaining immune tolerance. Using recombinant adenovirus (rAd) to deliver vectors to immature dendritic cells (imDCs) is an important method for studying the tolerogenic function of DCs. We found that using RPMI medium and a higher MOI during transduction increased the expression of CD80, CD86, and MHC-II on the surface of imDCs. Our data reveal a significant increase in the secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 in the group showing the most pronounced phenotypic c...

Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 532: HepG2BD: A Novel and Versatile Cell Line with Inducible HDV Replication and Constitutive HBV Expression
k Labonté Individuals chronically infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis Delta virus (HDV) present an increased risk of developing cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in comparison to HBV mono-infected individuals. Although HDV only replicates in individuals coinfected or superinfected with HBV, there is currently no in vitro model that can stably express both viruses simultaneously, mimicking the chronic infections seen in HBV/HDV patients. Here, we present the HepG2BD cell line as a novel in vitro culture system for long-term replication of HBV and HDV. HepG2BD cells derive from HepG2.2.15 cells in w...

Modulation of the RAC1/MAPK/ERK signalling pathway by farnesyl diphosphate synthase regulates granulosa cells proliferation in polycystic ovary syndrome
AbstractPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex gynaecological endocrine disease that occurs in women of childbearing age. The pathogenesis of PCOS is still unclear and further exploration is needed. Here, proteomic analysis indicated that the expression of farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FDPS) protein in ovarian tissue of PCOS mice was significantly decreased. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between potential biomarkers of PCOS and granulosa cells (GCs) function. The mechanisms by which FDPS affected the proliferation of granulosa cells were also explored both in vitro and in vivo. We fou...

Safety, efficacy, and biological data of T cell-enabling oncolytic adenovirus TILT-123 in advanced solid cancers from the TUNIMO monotherapy phase I trial
CONCLUSIONS: TILT-123 was safe and able to produce anti-tumor effects in local and distant lesions in heavily pre-treated patients. Good tolerability of TILT-123 facilitates combination studies, several of which are ongoing (NCT04217473, NCT05271318, NCT05222932, NCT06125197).PMID:38546220 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3874 (Source: Cell Research)

Adeno ‐associated virus‐based approach for genetic modification of cardiac fibroblasts in adult rat hearts
AbstractCardiac fibroblasts (CFs) are an attractive target for reducing pathological cardiac remodeling, and understanding the underlying mechanisms of these processes is the key to develop successful therapies for treating the pressure-overloaded heart. CF-specific knockout (KO) mouse lines with a Cre recombinase under the control of human TCF21 (hTCF21) promoter and/or an adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9)-hTCF21 system provide a powerful tool for understanding CF biology in  vivo. Although a variety of rat disease models are vital for the research of cardiac fibrosis similar to mouse models, there are few rat mod...

Long Non-Coding RNA MALAT1 Protects Against Spinal Cord Injury via Suppressing microRNA-125b-5p Mediated Microglial M1 Polarization, Neuroinflammation, and Neural Apoptosis
This study aimed to further explore the relationship between lncRNA MALAT1 and miR-125b-5p, as well as their effect on microglial activation, neuroinflammation, and neural apoptosis in spinal cord injury (SCI).  Primary microglia from Sprague Dawley rats were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Then, microglia were transfected with lncRNA MALAT1 overexpression or knock-down adenovirus-associated virus with or without miR-125b-5p mimic. The culture medium of microglia was incubated with primary neuro ns. SCI rats were established for in vivo validation. LncRNA MALAT1 expression was reduced by LPS treatment in a dose...
