Cationic lipid-assisted nanoparticles for simultaneous delivery of CD47 siRNA and R848 to promote antitumor immune responses
Discussion: To our best knowledge, our study pioneered co-delivery system for hydrophilic siCD47 and hydrophobic R848. It can maximize break tumor immune escape caused by CD47 and simultaneously enhance antigen presentation by activating DCs for effector T cell killing while regulating the tumor microenvironment as expected. Not only does it conform to the reports of previous basic research, but also it can break the bottleneck of their clinical application hopefully. Collectively, our findings could lay the foundation for future therapeutic strategies of TNBC.

Targeting ZDHHC9 potentiates anti-programmed death-ligand 1 immunotherapy of pancreatic cancer by modifying the tumor microenvironment
Biomed Pharmacother. 2023 Mar 22;161:114567. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.114567. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTImmune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy targeting the programmed death 1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) axis has achieved considerable success in treating a wide range of cancers. However, most patients with pancreatic cancer remain resistant to ICB. Moreover, there is a lack of optimal biomarkers for the prediction of response to this therapy. Palmitoylation is mediated by a family of 23 S-acyltransferases, termed zinc finger Asp-His-His-Cys-type palmitoyltransferases (ZDHHC), which precisely control vari...

Nanoparticles overcome adaptive immune resistance and enhance immunotherapy via targeting tumor microenvironment in lung cancer
Lung cancer is one of the common malignant cancers worldwide. Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy has improved survival of lung cancer patients. However, ICI therapy leads to adaptive immune resistance and displays resistance to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade in lung cancer, leading to less immune response of lung cancer patients. Tumor microenvironment (TME) is an integral tumor microenvironment, which is involved in immunotherapy resistance. Nanomedicine has been used to enhance the immunotherapy in lung cancer. In this review article, we described the association between TME and immunotherapy in lung cancer. We also highligh...

Sialic acid-targeted cyclodextrin-based nanoparticles deliver CSF-1R siRNA and reprogram tumour-associated macrophages for immunotherapy of prostate cancer
Eur J Pharm Sci. 2023 Mar 21;185:106427. doi: 10.1016/j.ejps.2023.106427. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProstate cancer remains a serious condition threatening the health of men. Due to the complicated nature of the tumour microenvironment (TME), conventional treatments face challenges including poor prognosis and tumour resistance, therefore new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. Small interfering RNA (siRNA), a double-stranded non-coding RNA, regulates specific gene expression through RNA interference. Tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) are a potential therapeutic target in cancer immunotherapy. Colony stimula...

Targeting the chemokine ligand 2-chemokine receptor 2 axis provides the possibility of immunotherapy in chronic pain
Eur J Pharmacol. 2023 Mar 10:175646. doi: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2023.175646. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic pain affects patients' physical and psychological health and quality of life, entailing a tremendous public health challenge. Currently, drugs for chronic pain are usually associated with a large number of side effects and poor efficacy. Chemokines in the neuroimmune interface combine with their receptors to regulate inflammation or mediate neuroinflammation in the peripheral and central nervous system. Targeting chemokines and their receptor-mediated neuroinflammation is an effective means to treat chronic pain. I...

Lysosomal-mediated drug release and activation for cancer therapy and immunotherapy
Adv Drug Deliv Rev. 2022 Nov 23:114624. doi: 10.1016/j.addr.2022.114624. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe development of carrier systems that are able to transport and release therapeutics to target cells is an emergent strategy to treat cancer; however, they following endocytosis are usually trapped in the endo/lysosomal compartments. The efficacy of drug conjugates and nanotherapeutics relies critically on their intracellular drug release ability, for which advanced systems responding to the unique lysosomal environment such as acidic pH and abundant enzymes (e.g. cathepsin B, sulfatase and β-glucuronidase) or equipped...
