IL-1β-activated mTORC2 promotes accumulation of IFN-γ+ γδ T cells by upregulating CXCR3 to restrict hepatic fibrosis

Liu Qihui,Yang Quanli,Wu Zengfeng,Chen Yanfang,Xu Miaomiao,Zhang Hua,Zhao Jiliang,Liu Zonghua,Guan Zerong,Luo Jing,Li Zhi-yong,Sun Guodong,Wen Qiong,Xu Yan,Li Zhenhua,Chen Kebing,Ben Xiaosong,He Wanchun,Li Xueshi,Yin Zhinan,Hao Jianlei,Lu Ligong

Liver fibrosis represents a severe stage of liver damage, with hallmarks of inflammation, hepatic stellate cell activation, and extracellular matrix accumulation. Although previous studies demonstrated γδ T cells are involved in liver fibrosis, the precise role and mechanisms of γδ T cells migrating to fibrotic liver have not been elucidated. Here, we aim to investigate the functional subsets of γδ T cells in hepatic fibrosis and to further explore the underlying causes and drivers of migration. In this study, we observed that γδ T cells accumulate in fibrotic liver. Adoptive transfer of γδ T, especially Vγ4 γδ T subset, can significantly alleviate liver fibrosis. In addition, CCl 4 treatment also leads to activation of mTOR signaling in γδ T cells. Genetic deletion of the Rictor gene, but not Raptor, in γδ T cells markedly exacerbated liver fibrosis. Mechanistically, CCl 4 -induced liver injury causes macrophage accumulation in the liver, and IL-1β produced by macrophages promotes mTORC2 signaling activation in γδ T cells, which upregulates T-bet expression and eventually promotes CXCR3 transcription to drive γδ T cell migration. Moreover, hepatic γδ T cells ameliorated liver fibrosis by cytotoxicity against activated hepatic stellate cells in FasL-dependent manner, and secrete IFN-γ to inhibit the differentiation of pro-fibrotic Th17 cells. Thus, IL-1β-activated mTORC2 signaling in γδ T cells upregulates CXCR3 expression, which is critical for IFN-γ + γδ T cells migration into the liver and amelioration of liver fibrosis. Our findings indicate that targeting the mTORC2 or CXCR3 in γδ T cells could be considered as a promising approach for γδ T cell immunotherapy against liver fibrosis.

Downregulation of ECRG4 by DNMT1 promotes EC growth via IRF3/IFN-γ/miR-29b/DNMT1/ECRG4 positive feedback loop

Ke Yang,Shuaining Chai,Helong Song,Sinan Cao,Fangmiao Gao,Chenxuan Zhou,Linwei Li

Esophageal carcinoma (EC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. ECRG4 has been recently discovered to be downregulated in EC. However, the mechanism leading to reduced expression of ECRG4 in esophageal cancer remains obscure. Here, we found that ECRG4 expression was significantly downregulated in EC tissues and cell lines. ECRG4 overexpression led to a significant decrease in proliferation in vitro and in vivo . Mechanistically, ECRG4 can activate IRF3/IFN-γ pathway. IFN-γ can promote the expression of miR-29b. MiR-29b reduces the expression of DNMT1. DNMT1 may affect the expression of ECRG4 by affecting the methylation of ECRG4 promoter. These results reveal ECRG4/IRF3/IFN-γ/miR-29b/DNMT1 positive feedback loop in esophageal carcinoma cells, which may become a potential therapeutic target for esophageal carcinoma.

Protective effects of miR‑155‑5p silencing on IFN‑γ‑induced apoptosis and inflammation in salivary gland epithelial cells

Jingli Zhang,Lingling Zhu,Hong Shi,Huizhe Zheng

Previous studies have demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) serve a vital role in the pathogenesis of Sjögren's syndrome (SS). The present study aimed to investigate the role of miR‑155‑5p in SS and determine its underlying molecular mechanism. An inflammatory lesion model was established by stimulating salivary gland epithelial cells (SGECs) with interferon‑γ (IFN‑γ). The apoptosis of SGECs was measured by using flow cytometry. Levels of proinflammatory factors were detected by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and ELISA, respectively. Immunofluorescence was used for p65 staining. Dual‑luciferase reporter assay was performed to verify the interaction between miR‑155‑5p and arrestin β2 (ARRB2). The protein levels in the NF‑κB signaling pathway were assessed by western blotting. The results of the present study demonstrated that treatment with IFN‑γ increased miR‑155‑5p expression, in addition to inducing apoptosis and inflammation in SGECs. Furthermore, overexpression of miR‑155‑5p promoted IFN‑γ‑induced apoptosis and inflammation in SGECs. Overexpression of miR‑155‑5p also increased Bax protein expression, enzyme activities of caspase 3 and caspase 9, release of inflammatory cytokines interleukin‑6 and tumor necrosis factor‑α, and decreased Bcl‑2 protein expression in IFN‑γ‑treated SGECs. By contrast, all of the effects aforementioned were reversed following miR‑155‑5p knockdown. These results demonstrated that miR‑155‑5p activated the NF‑κB signaling pathway, where treatment with the NF‑κB inhibitor, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate, reversed the effects of miR‑155‑5p overexpression on the inflammatory factors in IFN‑γ‑induced SGECs. miR‑155‑5p was demonstrated to target ARRB2 and negatively regulated its expression levels, such that overexpression of ARRB2 reversed the effects of miR‑155‑5p overexpression on the inflammatory response, apoptosis and the NF‑κB signaling pathway in IFN‑γ‑treated SGECs. Collectively, results from the present study suggest that miR‑155‑5p may activate the NF‑κB signaling pathway by negatively regulating ARRB2 to promote salivary gland damage during SS pathogenesis. This suggests that miR‑155‑5p may serve to be a potential target for the treatment of SS.

Ameliorative effect of orally administered different linoleic acid/α-linolenic acid ratios in a mouse model of DNFB-induced atopic dermatitis

Liu Tang,Xiaolei Li,Liping Wan,Huiling Wang,Qianting Mai,Zixin Deng,Hong Ding

The present research was designed to evaluate the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of different ratios of linoleic acid (LA) and α-linolenic acid (ALA), two essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) fatty acids, on atopic dermatitis (AD)-like skin lesions induced by 2, 4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB). The dorsal flank and ear pinnas of mice were sensitized and challenged with DNFB for four weeks in order to establish AD model. Simultaneously, the mice were orally administered different ratios of LA/ALA (v/v; 4:1 or 1:1), or dexamethasone (Dex; 0.1 mg/kg). Results showed that different LA/ALA ratios, especially a ratio of 4:1 treatment, could effectively ameliorate DNFB-induced skin lesions, ear edema, scratching behavior and skin inflammation, as reflected by the reduced inflammatory blood cells, IgE serum levels, and skin levels of the pro-inflammatory lipid mediators, including PGE 2 and LTB 4 . These findings were further confirmed by skin pathological examination. Moreover, LA/ALA administration markedly suppressed the proliferation and infiltration of T cells, the production of T helper cell type 1 (Th1), Th2 and Th17 cytokines in dorsal skin and serum of DNFB-treated mice. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry staining revealed that LA/ALA downregulated the protein expressions of JAK2 and STAT4, and thus reducing the synthesis of type Th1 cytokine IFN-γ. Taken together, these results suggest that optimal nutrition ratio of LA/ALA has beneficial effects on AD-like symptoms, which provide theoretical basis for its therapeutic potential in the clinical prevention and treatment of AD.

TGF β1 promotes the polarization of M2-type macrophages and activates PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway by inhibiting ISG20 to sensitize ovarian cancer to cisplatin

Jianfa Wu,Lingli Jiang,Sihong Wang,Lei Peng,Rong Zhang,Zhou Liu

The involvement of Interferon-stimulated exonuclease gene 20 (ISG20) has been reported in renal clear cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and cervical cancer. However, its role in ovarian cancer chemotherapy remains unclear. In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of TGF-β1 and ISG20 in cisplatin-sensitive and cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cells and tissues using qRT-PCR and a tissue immunofluorescence analysis. We also investigated the impact of ISG20-targeted drugs (IFN-γ) and TGF-β1 inhibitors on cisplatin response both in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, we assessed the effects of TGF-β1 or ISG20 on the polarization of tumor-associated macrophages through flow cytometry and ELISA analysis. Our findings revealed that ISG20 expression was lower in cisplatin-resistant tissues compared to cisplatin-sensitive tissues; however, overexpression of ISG20 sensitized ovarian cancer to cisplatin treatment. Furthermore, activation of ISG20 expression with IFN-γ or TGF-β1 inhibitors enhanced the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin therapy. Notably, our results demonstrated that TGF-β1 promoted M2-type macrophage polarization as well as PI3K/mTOR pathway activation by suppressing ISG20 expression both in vivo and in vitro. In conclusion, our study highlights the critical role played by ISG20 within the network underlying cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer. Targeting ISG20 using IFN-γ or TGF-β1 inhibitors may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for treating ovarian cancer.

Amygdalin ameliorates alopecia areata on C3H/HeJ mice by inhibiting inflammation through JAK2/STAT3 pathway

Xun He,Jingsong Liu,Yugang Gong,Wei Lu,Xiaowei Sha,Chang Cao,Yanqun Li,Jiawei Wang

Background Evidence has demonstrated that Chinese medicine formula Xuefu Zhuyu decoction can markedly promote the formation of new hair in patients and mice with alopecia areata (AA). Amygdalin is one of the active components of Xuefu Zhuyu decoction, but its therapeutic effects and the underlying mechanisms on AA remains largely unrevealed. Purpose Therefore, this study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects and to probe its molecular mechanisms of inflammation and immune regulation on AA model of C3H/HeJ mice. Study design The C3H/HeJ female mice were divided into control, AA, rusolitinib (60 mg/kg), and amygdalin groups (60, 90, and 120 mg/kg, 0.2 ml/10 g, i.g.). Methods The optical microscope was used to observe the feature of the local skin, and the number of lanugo and terminal hair. H&E staining was performed to determine the degree of pathological damage to the skin. ELISA was performed to detect levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in mice serum. Flow cytometry was carried out to analyze the CD4 + CD25 + FOXP3 + , CD4 + and CD8 + of skin tissue. And the levels of CD4 + and CD8 + , p-JAK/JAK2, p-STAT3/STAT, and SOCS3 were detected by immunohistochemistry. Western blot and qRT-PCR were employed to examine the expression levels of IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ, JAK2, p-JAK, STAT, p-STAT3 and SOCS3 proteins and genes in skin tissues. Results Compared with AA group, amygdalin immensely increased the number of vellus hairs and decreased the number of terminal hairs determined by skin microscopy and H&E staining. ELISA, Western blot and qRT-PCR data showed that the levels of IL-6, TNF-α and IFN-γ in serum and skin tissues of AA mice were significantly increased, while amygdalin administration dramatically restrained the contents of the three pro-inflammatory factors. Flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry hinted that amygdalin observably enhanced the number of CD4 + CD25 + FOXP3 + and CD4 + cells, while inhibited the number of CD8 + positive cells in mice with AA. Moreover, amygdalin signally reduced JAK2/STAT3 pathway-related protein and gene levels in AA mice. Conclusion Amygdalin could inhibit inflammatory response and improve immune function in the treatment of AA. The underlying molecular mechanism may be related to inhibition of JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Superior Antitumor Efficacy of IFN-α2b-Incorporated Photo-Cross-Linked Hydrogels Combined with T Cell Transfer and Low-Dose Irradiation Against Gastric Cancer

Qin Liu,Dinghu Zhang,Hanqing Qian,Yanhong Chu,Yan Yang,Jie Shao,Qiuping Xu,Baorui Liu

Introduction The exhaustion and poor homing of activated lymphocytes are critical obstacles in adoptive cell immunotherapy for solid tumors. In order to effectively deliver immune cells into tumors, we encapsulated interferon-α2b (IFN-α2b) into macroporous hydrogels as an enhancement factor and utilized low-dose irradiation (LDI) as a tumoral attractor of T cells.Methods Hydroxypropyl cellulose hydrogels were prepared by irradiation techniques, and the cross-sectional microstructure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The synergistic antitumor mechanism of combination of IFN-α2b and CIK cells was evaluated by detecting the expression of activation marker CD69 on CIK cell surface and IFN-γ production by CIK cells. The in vivo antitumor activity of IFN-α2b-incorporated hydroxypropyl cellulose hydrogels combined with CIK and radiation was evaluated in an MKN-45 xenografted nude mice model.Results The bioactivity of IFN-α2b was well maintained in ultraviolet-reactive, rapidly cross-linkable hydroxypropyl cellulose hydrogels. In vitro studies demonstrated IFN-α2b-activated T cells, as evidenced by upregulating early activation marker CD69 and secretion inflammatory cytokine IFN-γ. In vivo real-time image showed our hydrogels kept a higher amount of drug delivery at the tumor site for a long time compared with free drug injection. Low-dose irradiation promoted T cell accumulation and infiltration in subcutaneous tumors. Combination of IFN-α2b-loaded hydrogels (Gel-IFN) with T cells and LDI exhibited higher efficacy to eradicate human gastric cancer xenograted tumors with less proliferating cells and more necrotic regions compared with IFN-α2b or T cells alone.Discussion HPC hydrogels kept the activity of IFN-α2b and stably release of IFN-α2b to stimulate T cells for a long time. At the same time, low-dose radiation recruits T cells into tumors. This innovative integration mode of IFN-α2b-loaded hydrogels and radiotherapy offers a potent strategy to improve the therapeutic outcome of T cell therapy.

Mechanism of d-Glucaro-1,4-lactone enhancing the anticancer efficacy of lenvatinib via the IFN-γ-STAT3-PD-L1 signaling pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma

Yufeng Deng,Qi hu,Zhiying Song,Mengyuan Nie,Zhiguo Wu,Yongrong Lei,Meng Liu,Dujuan Zhan,Baogang Xie

Objective Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a leading cause of cancer mortality. Targeted therapies like lenvatinib face limitations due to resistance and immunosuppression. d -Glucaro-1,4-lactone (1,4-GL), a bioactive natural compound with anti-HCC activity, holds unexplored synergistic potential with lenvatinib. This study investigates the combinatorial efficacy of 1,4-GL and lenvatinib against HCC and elucidates the underlying mechanisms. Methods Efficacy was evaluated in H22 tumor-bearing mice treated with lenvatinib (20 mg/kg/day) ± 1,4-GL (25, 50, 100 mg/kg/day). Tumor inhibition, serum cytokines (TNF-α, IFN-γ, AFP), oxidative stress markers (MDA, SOD), liver enzymes (ALT, AST), and splenic T-cell subsets (flow cytometry) were assessed. Histopathology was analyzed via H&E staining. Lenvatinib pharmacokinetics (serum, liver, tumor) with/without 1,4-GL was determined in mice and SD rats using UPLC-MS/MS. In vitro, combinatorial effects on proliferation (CCK-8), migration (scratch assay), and clonogenicity (colony formation) were tested in Huh7 and HepG2 cells. STAT3 phosphorylation and PD-L1 expression (protein: Western blot; mRNA: RT-qPCR) were analyzed. PD-L1 induction was achieved using IFN-γ (20 ng/ml). Results The medium-dose combination (LMGL) achieved 89.97% tumor inhibition in H22 mice, significantly reducing tumor mass by 75% vs. lenvatinib alone (0.21±0.18 g vs. 0.84±0.79 g, p < 0.01). H&E staining revealed extensive necrosis in combination groups. Serum TNF-α and IFN-γ levels significantly increased ( p < 0.001), while AFP approached baseline. Flow cytometry showed an elevated CD4⁺/CD8⁺ T-cell ratio. Oxidative stress was modulated (reduced MDA and elevated SOD, p < 0.01). Pharmacokinetic studies revealed no significant differences in lenvatinib exposure or steady-state concentrations ( p > 0.05) with 1,4-GL co-administration. In vitro, 1,4-GL significantly reduced lenvatinib's IC 50 (Huh7: 18.54 μmol/l; HepG2: 30.34 μmol/l). Combinatorial treatment markedly downregulated PD-L1 protein/mRNA and inhibited STAT3 phosphorylation ( p < 0.05). Scratch and colony formation assays indicated synergy stemmed from immunomodulation and signaling inhibition, not enhanced anti-migration/proliferation. Conclusion 1,4-GL potently synergizes with lenvatinib against HCC by enhancing oxidative stress, reconstituting antitumor immunity, and suppressing the STAT3/PD-L1 signaling axis, without perturbing lenvatinib pharmacokinetics. This defines a novel phytochemical-based combinatorial strategy with significant clinical translation potential for HCC therapy.

Geraniol targets KV1.3 ion channel and exhibits anti-inflammatory activity in vitro and in vivo

Chen-Jun Ye,Sheng-An Li,Yun Zhang,Wen-Hui Lee

Naturally occurring monoterpenes are known for their various pharmacological activities including anti-inflammation. K V 1.3 ion channel is a voltage-gated potassium channel and has been validated as a drug target for autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases like psoriasis . Here we experimentally test the direct interaction between monoterpenes and K V 1.3 ion channel. Our electrophysiological analysis determined that monoterpenes (geraniol, nerol , β-citronellol, citral and linalool) have inhibitory effects on K V 1.3 ion channel. Representatively, geraniol reversibly blocked K V 1.3 currents in a voltage-dependent manner with an IC 50 of 490.50 ± 1.04 μM at +40 mV in HEK293T cells. At the effective concentrations, geraniol also inhibited cytokine secretion of activated human T cells, including IL-2, TNF-α and IFN-γ. In an imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like animal model, geraniol administration significantly reduced psoriasis area and severity index scores, ameliorated the deteriorating histopathology and decreased the degree of splenomegaly . Together, our findings not only suggest that monoterpenes may serve as lead molecules for the development of K V 1.3 inhibitors, but also indicate that geraniol could be considered as a promising therapeutic candidate to treat autoimmune diseases.

Anti-Tumor Efficacy of an Adjuvant Built-In Nanovaccine Based on Ubiquitinated Proteins from Tumor Cells

Fang Huang,Jinjin Zhao,Yiting Wei,Zhifa Wen,Yue Zhang,Xuru Wang,Yanfei Shen,Li-xin Wang,Ning Pan

Background and Aim We have previously identified ubiquitinated proteins (UPs) from tumor cell lysates as a promising vaccine for cancer immunotherapy in different mouse tumor models. In this study, we aimed at developing a highly efficient therapeutic adjuvant built-in nanovaccine (α-Al2O3-UPs) by a simple method, in which UPs from tumor cells could be efficiently and conveniently enriched by α-Al2O3 nanoparticles covalently coupled with Vx3 proteins (α-Al2O3-CONH-Vx3).Methods The α-Al2O3 nanoparticles were modified with 4-hydroxybenzoic acid followed by coupling with ubiquitin-binding protein Vx3. It was then used to enrich UPs from 4T1 cell lysate. The stability and the efficiency for the UPs enrichment of α-Al2O3-CONH-Vx3 were examined. The ability of α-Al2O3-UPs to activate DCs was examined in vitro subsequently. The splenocytes from the vaccinated mice were re-stimulated with inactivated tumor cells, and the IFN-γ secretion was detected by ELISA and flow cytometry. Moreover, the therapeutic efficacy of α-Al2O3-UPs, alone and in combination with chemotherapy, was examined in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice.Results Our results showed that α-Al2O3-UPs were successfully synthesized and abundant UPs from tumor cell lysate were enriched by the new method. In vitro study showed that compared to the physical mixture of α-Al2O3 nanoparticles and UPs (α-Al2O3+UPs), α-Al2O3-UPs stimulation resulted in higher upregulations of CD80, CD86, MHC class I, and MHC class II on DCs, indicating the higher ability of DC activation. Moreover, α-Al2O3-UPs elicited a more effective immune response in mice, demonstrated by higher IFN-γ secretion than α-Al2O3+UPs. Furthermore, α-Al2O3-UPs also exhibited a more potent effect on tumor growth inhibition and survival prolongation in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice. Notably, when in combination with low dose chemotherapy, the anti-tumor effect was further enhanced, rather than using α-Al2O3-UPs alone.Conclusion This study presents an adjuvant built-in nanovaccine generated by a new simple method that can be potentially applied to cancer immunotherapy and lays the experimental foundation for future clinical application.

The Hypermethylation of Foxp3 Promoter Impairs the Function of Treg Cells in EAP

Chen Jing,Zhan Changsheng,Zhang Li,Zhang Ligang,Liu Yi,Zhang Yong,Du Hexi,Liang Chaozhao,Chen Xianguo

Treg cells are crucial for maintaining immune homeostasis in CP/CPPS, but the molecular mechanisms underlying the modulation of the function of Treg in CP/CPPS remain unclear. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between immunosuppressive function of Treg and the methylation level of Foxp3 promoter in experimental autoimmune prostatitis (EAP) mouse model. EAP model was induced by subcutaneous injecting prostate-steroid-binding protein (PSBP) and complete Freund’s adjuvant with NOD mice. Histological analysis revealed that EAP model was successfully induced. The expression of IFN-γ was increased, and TGF-β was decreased in the serum of EAP, respectively. The percentage of Tregs in splenic lymphocyte was increased in EAP. The suppressive ability of Tregs on Teffs was impaired in EAP. The methylation level of Foxp3 promoter was increased, and the expression of Foxp3 was decreased in EAP. By injection AZA which was DNA-methylation inhibitor into EAP mice, prostate inflammation was alleviated, expressions of TGF-β and Foxp3 were increased, and the suppressive function of Tregs was improved in vitro and in vivo . Thus, we concluded that aberrant increased methylation of Foxp3 promoter in Treg cells leads to the impaired suppressive function of Treg cells, exacerbating autoimmune inflammatory injury in EAP.

A tumor targeted nano micelle carrying astragaloside IV for combination treatment of bladder cancer

Kong Chenfan,Sun Jianrong,Hu Xinzi,Li Guangzhi,Wu Song

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are effective agents for tumor immunotherapy. However, their clinical effectiveness is unsatisfactory due to off-target effects and a suppressive immune microenvironment. This study developed a nanodrug delivery system for bladder cancer (BCa) using PCL-MPEG and PCL-PEG-CHO to synthesize internal hydrophobic and external hydrophilic micelles (PP) that encapsulated water-insoluble astragaloside IV (PPA). The aldehyde group on the surface of PPA reacted with the amino group of aPD-L1, allowing the decoration of this antibody on the surface of the micelles. The resultingPPA@aPD-L1effectively piggybacked astragaloside IV and aPD-L1 antibody. These findings suggest that PPA@aPD-L1 is relatively stable in circulation and efficiently binds to BCa cells with the aid of aPD-L1. Additionally, this strategy prolongs the drug’s retention time in tumors. Compared to PBS, PP, and PPA with PPA + aPD-L1 groups, PPA@aPD-L1significantly prolonged the survival of mice with BCa and reduced tumor volume. Mechanistic studies showed that PPA inhibited the NF-κB and STAT3 signaling pathways in tumor cells. Additionally, PPA@aPD-L1increased IFN-γ and decreased IL-10 expression in bladder tumors, affecting the number and type of intratumorally infiltrating T cells. Our study presents a simple and effective drug delivery system that combines herbal monomers with ICIs. It has demonstrated a potent ability to suppress tumor growth and holds potential for future applications.
