Cellular responses to silencing of PDIA3 (protein disulphide-isomerase A3): effects on proliferation, migration and genes in control of active vitamin D
J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol. 2024 Mar 7:106497. doi: 10.1016/j.jsbmb.2024.106497. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, is known to act via VDR (vitamin D receptor), affecting several physiological processes. In addition, PDIA3 (protein disulphide-isomerase A3) has been associated with some of the functions of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. In the present study we used siRNA-mediated silencing of PDIA3 in osteosarcoma and prostate carcinoma cell lines to examine the role(s) of PDIA3 for 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-dependent responses. PDIA3 silencing affected VDR target genes and sign...

Co-delivery of siAEG-1 and doxorubicin to treat osteosarcoma via nanomicelles for azide-alkyne "click" conjugation of poly(l-lysine) dendrons onto Zein
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Mar 7:130729. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130729. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAstrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG-1) oncogene is a notorious and evolving target in a variety of human malignancies including osteosarcoma. The RNA interference (RNAi) has been clinically proven to effectively knock down specific genes. To successfully implement RNAi in vivo, protective vectors are required not only to protect unstable siRNAs from degradation, but also to deliver siRNAs to target cells with controlled release. Here, we synthesized a Zein-poly(l-lysine) dendrons non-viral modular system that enables effic...

ZIF ‐8‐Encapsulated Pexidartinib Delivery via Targeted Peptide‐Modified M1 Macrophages Attenuates MDSC‐Mediated Immunosuppression in Osteosarcoma
This study proposes a strategy for ZIF-8-encapsulated pexidartinib delivery via targeted peptide-modified M1 macrophages. Modified macrophages not only have a stronger affinity for tumors but also carry anti-tumor drugs that can act precisely on tumor sites. Through this therapeutic strategy, M1 macrophages achieve a precise, sustained, and improved anti-tumor effect. AbstractAdoptive cellular therapy is a promising strategy for cancer treatment. However, the effectiveness of this therapy is limited by its intricate and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. In this study, a targeted therapeutic strategy for macrophage ...
