Exosome-hijacking drug delivery system with branched arginine linker effectively deliver antisense oligonucleotides into lung adenocarcinoma cells
In this study, we modified ExomiR-Tracker by incorporating branched nona-D-arginines (9 + 9 mer) molecules (referred to as Branch ExomiR-Tracker) and evaluated its efficacy in lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549 cells). The improved complex formation ability and enhanced cellular uptake of anti-miR, demonstrated by our findings, highlight the advantages of incorporating branched oligoarginine peptides into the ExomiR-Tracker platform. These results represent significant progress in revealing the effectiveness of Branch ExomiR-Tracker against adhesive cancer cells, which has not been shown to be effective with the conventional ...

Semaglutide ameliorates cognition and glucose metabolism dysfunction in the 3xTg mouse model of Alzheimer's disease via the GLP-1R/SIRT1/GLUT4 pathway
In this study, we found that SIRT1 is closely related to expression of GLP-1R in hippocampus of 3xTg mice. Therefore, we used semaglutide, a novel GLP-1R agonist currently undergoing two phase 3 clinical trials in AD patients, to observe the effect of SIRT1 after semaglutide treatment in 3XTg mice and HT22 cells, and to explore the mechanism of SIRT1 in the glucose metabolism disorders of AD. The mice were injected with semaglutide on alternate days for 30 days, followed by behavioral experiments including open field test, new object recognition test, and Y-maze. The content of glucose in the brain was also measured by usi...

Tumour adaptation to immune factors: old and new ideas for cancer immunotherapy
Can J Physiol Pharmacol. 2023 Sep 20. doi: 10.1139/cjpp-2023-0083. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe tumour is fully functional in the zone of action of immune mediators. Moreover, the tumour needs immune system mediators to survive. "Adaptation" refers to a tumour's ability to withstand the effect of harmful elements. This gives birth to a new form of antitumour therapy: blocking tumour adaptability pathways. In this review, we will look at (i) tumour adaptation mechanisms as a result of pro-tumour immunoediting, (ii) how understanding tumour-adaptive mechanisms has led to ideas for developing cancer immunotherapies, and ...
