Expression of Angiopoietin-2 in Lung Tissue of Juvenile SD Rats with Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Lung Injury and the Role of Ulinastatin
This study aimed to observe the expression of angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) in the lung tissue of juvenile SD rats with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and to clarify the role of ulinastatin (UTI). Ninety 18 –21-day-old juvenile SD male rats were randomly divided into five groups (n = 18). ALI rat model was established by intraperitoneal injection of LPS (LPS 10 mg/kg), while the control group was given the same dose of normal saline. The UTI intervention group was given the injection of UTI (5000 U/mL) immediately after the injection of LPS, which was divided into UTI lo w-dose group (LPS + 5Â...

Prolonged Exposure to High Glucose Induces Premature Senescence Through Oxidative Stress and Autophagy in Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells
In this study, we established a model with prolonged high-glucose exposure (15 and 75  mM exogenous glucose for two months) to mimic RPE tissue pathophysiology in patients with hyperglycemia. Prolonged high-glucose exposure attenuated glucose uptake and clonogenicity in ARPE-19 cells. It also significantly increased reactive oxygen species levels and decreased antioxidant protein (s uperoxide dismutase 2) levels in RPE cells, possibly causing oxidative stress and DNA damage and impairing proliferation. Western blotting showed that autophagic stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and genotoxic stress were induced by prolon...

Updated Clinical Perspectives and Challenges of Chimeric Antigen Receptor-T Cell Therapy in Colorectal Cancer and Invasive Breast Cancer
AbstractIn recent years, the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) and breast cancer (BC) has increased worldwide and caused a higher mortality rate due to the lack of selective anti-tumor therapies. Current chemotherapies and surgical interventions are significantly preferred modalities to treat CRC or BC in advanced stages but the prognosis for patients with advanced CRC and BC remains dismal. The immunotherapy technique of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells has resulted in significant clinical outcomes when treating hematologic malignancies. The novel CAR-T therapy target antigens include GUCY2C, CLEC14A, CD26, TEM8...

In Situ Programming of CAR-T Cells: A Pressing Need in Modern Immunotherapy
AbstractChimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cell-based therapy has become a successful option for treatment of numerous hematological malignancies, but also raises hope in a range of non-malignant diseases. However, in a traditional approach, generation of CAR-T cells is associated with the separation of patient ’s lymphocytes, their in vitro modification, and expansion and infusion back into patient’s bloodstream. This classical protocol is complex, time-consuming, and expensive. Those problems could be solved by successful protocols to produce CAR-T cells, but also CAR-natural killer cells or CAR macr ophages, in sit...

Modulation of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in the Tumor Microenvironment by Natural Products
AbstractDuring carcinogenesis, the microenvironment plays a fundamental role in tumor progression and resistance. This tumor microenvironment (TME) is characterized by being highly immunosuppressive in most cases, which makes it an important target for the development of new therapies. One of the most important groups of cells that orchestrate immunosuppression in TME is myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), which have multiple mechanisms to suppress the immune response mediated by T lymphocytes and thus protect the tumor. In this review, we will discuss the importance of modulating MDSCs as a therapeutic target and ho...
