Contemporary T-cell immunotherapies, despite impressive targeting precision, are hindered by aberrant cytokine release and restrictive targeting stoichiometry. We introduce a two-component T-cell immunotherapy targeting B-cell malignancies: Multi-Antigen T-Cell Hybridizers (MATCH). This split antibody technology differs from current therapies by separating cancer cell-targeting components from T cell-engaging components. We demonstrate that this two-component structure facilitates tunable T-cell activation. αCD19 and αCD20 MATCH, administered in two steps, are both compared to the clinical standard bispecific antibody, blinatumomab. In vitro two-dimensional dose analysis and cytokine release data indicate MATCH improves cancer clearance with reduced cytokine release. Cytolytic mechanisms of action are evaluated. αCD20 MATCH anti-cancer efficacy is assayed using a human lymphoma murine model. Decreasing T-cell engager dose 10-fold yields comparable efficacy to non-reduced doses. Ultimately, this split-antibody paradigm may enhance antigen targeting while reducing cytokine release, with such safety and efficacy advantages augmented by the future possibility of multi-antigen targeting with MATCH.

In recent years, graphene oxide (GO) has emerged as a promising nanocarrier for targeted mRNA delivery. However, the detailed molecular mechanisms governing its transmembrane transport remain poorly understood. Here, we employ molecular simulations to systematically investigate how membrane surface tension and binding configurations influence the transmembrane behavior of GO-mRNA nanocomplexes. Our findings reveal a membrane tension-dependent entry pathway that nanocomplex entry cell from adhesion/penetration to endocytosis, suggesting a potential mechanism for tumor cell drug resistance development. Furthermore, we demonstrate distinct transmembrane dynamics process for three predominant GO-mRNA binding modes, exhibiting variations in translocation velocity, penetration depth, and resultant membrane deformation. These computational insights provide crucial theoretical guidance for engineering optimized mRNA delivery carrier, potentially advancing the biomedical application of GO-based nanoplatforms in gene therapy and precision oncology.

An in vitro method for monitoring nanoparticle effects on IgE-dependent mast cell degranulation was developed and validated. The assayed nanoparticles included four clinical-grade nanomedicines (Abraxane, Doxil, AmBisome, and Feraheme) and three commercial research-grade nanomaterials (generation 5 PAMAM dendrimers with carboxy-, hydroxy-, or amine- surface functionalities). Most of the tested materials did not alter IgE-dependent mast cell degranulation, suggesting that nanoparticles and nanomedicines are unlikely to worsen pre-existing allergies to other antigens. Two clinical-grade formulations containing cytotoxic oncology drugs—Abraxane and Doxil—decreased degranulation. Abraxane but not Doxil decreased FcεR expression on the cell surface. Single-cell sequencing revealed the most differentially expressed genes (DEG) in Abraxane and Doxil-treated cultures. Interestingly, Feraheme and amine-terminated dendrimers induced DEG without affecting degranulation. These data demonstrate that some nanomaterials have more effects on immune cells than can be detected by a functional immunoassay.

Photothermal therapy (PTT) is an emerging cancer therapeutic modality displaying the great potential to clinical patients. However, the conventional PTT is suffering from restrictions of heat resistance of tumor cells (e.g. the overexpression of heat shock proteins, HSPs) and adverse effects to normal cells. To break the shackles, herein, a hypoxia-responsive theranostic nanoplatform (GA/BN LIP) was designed for achieving synergistic chemotherapy, photothermal therapy (PTT), and photodynamic therapy (PDT) through overcoming heat-shock response, while enabling fluorescence tracing. The GA/BN LIP consisted of a hypoxia-responsive liposomal material (DSPE-AZO-PEG) as the shell, surface-functionalized with cRGD peptides targeted binding to integrin αVβ3 receptor expressed in tumors. The GA/BN LIP co-delivered gambogic acid (GA) as HSP90 inhibitor and hypoxia-responsive photosensitizer Bcy-NO2. After GA/BN LIP entering tumor cells by integrin αVβ3 receptor-mediated endocytosis, drugs were specifically released in response to hypoxic conditions due to lysis of liposomes. GA not only directly killed tumor cells to realize chemotherapy, but also sensitized tumor cells to PTT by downregulating HSP90 protein expression, meantime Bcy-NO2 targeted mitochondria for combined PTT and PDT. Intriguingly, the reduction of Bcy-NO2 by nitroreductase (NTR) resulted in the restoration of fluorescence, achieving real-time monitoring of the theranostic process in live cells. In conclusion, this theranostic system, designed to target the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, utilized a sensitization mechanism to enhance the synergistic effects of chemo/PTT/PDT therapy, resulting in improved antitumor efficacy in both in vitro and in vivo studies.

Mitigation of adriamycin (ADR)-induced nephropathy remains a significant challenge in clinical management. Brain-targeted administration of losartan demonstrates comparable nephroprotective effects at a 1:500 concentration relative to gavage administration. This study established an exosome-based nano-delivery platform (ExoACP) to reduce drug dosage for alleviating ADR-induced nephropathy. The platform was rigorously tested for toxicity and blood-brain barrier penetration. Additionally, the role and possible mechanism of ExoACP-Los in alleviating ADR-induced nephropathy in mice were investigated. ExoACP showed enhanced penetration in brain microvascular endothelial cells, with a 7.20-fold increase in uptake. In the ADR model, ExoACP-Los exhibited anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects by downregulating the renin-angiotensin system, reducing extracellular matrix deposition by nearly half. These findings suggest ExoACP-Los can alleviate ADR-induced nephropathy by enhancing targeted drug delivery to the brain while reducing losartan. Overall, ExoACP holds significant potential for future clinical applications in chronic nephropathy.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a serious vascular disease with hidden symptoms and rapid progression. Nanomaterials provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of VTE due to their high specific surface area, biocompatibility and modifiability. Due to differences in the formation mechanism and location of arterial and venous thrombosis, targeted diagnosis and treatment strategies need to be developed. This review focuses on VTE and summarizes the latest progress and limitations of nanomaterials in diagnosis and treatment. In terms of diagnosis, nanomaterials can be used to prepare biosensors to detect thrombin, fibrin, etc., and can also enhance imaging contrast to improve diagnostic accuracy. In terms of treatment, nanocarriers can target and release anticoagulant/thrombolytic drugs, improving efficacy and reducing side effects. However, the limitations of nanomaterials require researchers to optimize their properties to achieve safe and efficient development of VTE diagnosis and treatment.

Melanoma, driven by defective immune surveillance and cancer-cell evasion, has rising morbidity and mortality due to solar radiation exposure and delayed diagnosis. Effective tumor opsonization and phagocytosis are needed, demanding new therapeutic formulations. Here, we demonstrate the efficacy of a novel lipid-coated glucose nanosphere (LGNP) formulation decorated with ovalbumin (OVA) and containing pCMV-MART-1 (MT-1), termed the nLOM vaccine. This vaccine elicits specific immune responses through bone marrow DC maturation and CD4+/CD8+ T-cell activation, targeting melanoma antigens. In preclinical studies using orthotopic B16-F10 melanoma cells in C57BL/6J mice, the vaccine induced significant infiltration of T lymphocytes into tumor tissues, reducing tumor progression. Robust immune responses were observed in the spleens and inguinal lymph nodes of vaccinated mice, characterized by elevated cytokine levels. These findings suggest that the nLOM vaccine could elicit durable immunogenicity against melanoma through enhanced antigen presentation and holds promise for clinical development as an effective immunotherapy.

These findings suggest that the nLOM vaccine could elicit durable immunogenicity against melanoma through enhanced antigen presentation and holds promise for clinical development as an effective immunotherapy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19050,"journal":{"name":"Nanomedicine : nanotechnology, biology, and medicine","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 102817"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143803848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
