[PMID: 38350212 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2024.149646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/15/2024]
Abstract
Legumain is overexpressed in diverse tumors, serving as a significant tumor biomarker. Our study aimed to develop a new positron emission tomography (PET) probe [68Ga]Ga-NOTA-SF-AANM for imaging the expression level of legumain in vivo. The radio-labeling of [68Ga]Ga-NOTA-SF-AANM was accomplished within 15 min. The probe has good stability in vitro. NOTA-SF-AANM exhibited rapid response to recombinant human legumain enzyme, enabling intramolecular condensation cyclization. Cellular uptake and lysosomal co-localization experiments demonstrated that the probe was able to differentiate specifically between MDA-MB-468 and PC-3 cancer cells with varying degrees of legumain expression. PET imaging displayed a significant and persistent signal (3.59 ± 0.30 %ID/mL at 60 min) in MDA-MB-468 tumors, while PC-3 tumors exhibited lower radioactivity (1.08 ± 0.35 %ID/mL at 60 min), further validating the specific targeting of [68Ga]Ga-NOTA-SF-AANM towards legumain. [68Ga]Ga-NOTA-SF-AANM is a promising tool for precise diagnosis of legumain-related diseases due to its advantages in radio-labeling and accurate monitoring of legumain expression levels.

Silica-induced macrophage pyroptosis propels pulmonary fibrosis through coordinated activation of relaxin and osteoclast differentiation signaling to reprogram fibroblasts. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 273:116106. [PMID: 38377782 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116106] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024]
Abstract
Silica nanoparticle (SiNP) exposure induces severe pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis, but the pathogenesis remains unclear, and effective therapies are currently lacking. To explore the mechanism underlying SiNPs-induced pulmonary fibrosis, we constructed in vivo silica exposure animal models and in vitro models of silica-induced macrophage pyroptosis and fibroblast transdifferentiation. We found that SiNP exposure elicits upregulation of pulmonary proteins associated with pyroptosis, including NLRP3, ASC, IL-1β, and GSDMD, while the immunofluorescence staining co-localized NLRP3 and GSDMD with macrophage-specific biomarker F4/80 in silica-exposed lung tissues. However, the NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 and classical anti-fibrosis drug pirfenidone (PFD) were found to be able to alleviate silica-induced collagen deposition in the lungs. In in vitro studies, we exposed the fibroblast to a conditioned medium from silica-induced pyroptotic macrophages and found enhanced expression of α-SMA, suggesting increased transdifferentiation of fibroblast to myofibroblast. In line with in vivo studies, the combined treatment of MCC950 and PFD was demonstrated to inhibit the expression of α-SMA and attenuate fibroblast transdifferentiation. Mechanistically, we adopted high throughput RNA sequencing on fibroblast with different treatments and found activated signaling of relaxin and osteoclast differentiation pathways, where the expression of the dysregulated genes in these two pathways was examined and found to be consistently altered both in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, our study demonstrates that SiNP exposure induces macrophage pyroptosis, which subsequently causes fibroblast transdifferentiation to myofibroblasts, in which the relaxin and osteoclast differentiation signaling pathways play crucial roles. These findings may provide valuable references for developing new therapies for pulmonary fibrosis.

Multiple influence of immune cells in the bone metastatic cancer microenvironment on tumors. Front Immunol 2024; 15:1335366.

Abstract
Bone is a common organ for solid tumor metastasis. Malignant bone tumor becomes insensitive to systemic therapy after colonization, followed by poor prognosis and high relapse rate. Immune and bone cells in situ constitute a unique immune microenvironment, which plays a crucial role in the context of bone metastasis. This review firstly focuses on lymphatic cells in bone metastatic cancer, including their function in tumor dissemination, invasion, growth and possible cytotoxicity-induced eradication. Subsequently, we examine myeloid cells, namely macrophages, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, dendritic cells, and megakaryocytes, evaluating their interaction with cytotoxic T lymphocytes and contribution to bone metastasis. As important components of skeletal tissue, osteoclasts and osteoblasts derived from bone marrow stromal cells, engaging in 'vicious cycle' accelerate osteolytic bone metastasis. We also explain the concept tumor dormancy and investigate underlying role of immune microenvironment on it. Additionally, a thorough review of emerging treatments for bone metastatic malignancy in clinical research, especially immunotherapy, is presented, indicating current challenges and opportunities in research and development of bone metastasis therapies.
