Abstract
Macroautophagy/autophagy and apoptosis are pivotal interconnected host cell responses to viral infection, including picornaviruses. Here, the VP3 proteins of picornaviruses were determined to trigger autophagy, with the autophagic flux being triggered by the TP53-BAD-BAX axis. Using foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) as a model system, we unraveled a novel mechanism of how picornavirus hijacks autophagy to bolster viral replication and enhance pathogenesis. FMDV infection induced both autophagy and apoptosis in vivo and in vitro. FMDV VP3 protein facilitated the phosphorylation and translocation of TP53 from the nucleus into the mitochondria, resulting in BAD-mediated apoptosis and BECN1-mediated autophagy. The amino acid Gly129 in VP3 is essential for its interaction with TP53, and crucial for induction of autophagy and apoptosis. VP3-induced autophagy and apoptosis are both essential for FMDV replication, while, autophagy plays a more important role in VP3-mediated pathogenesis. Mutation of Gly129 to Ala129 in VP3 abrogated the autophagic regulatory function of VP3, which significantly decreased the viral replication and pathogenesis of FMDV. This suggested that VP3-induced autophagy benefits viral replication and pathogenesis. Importantly, this Gly is conserved and showed a common function in various picornaviruses. This study provides insight for developing broad-spectrum antivirals and genetic engineering attenuated vaccines against picornaviruses.Abbreviations: 3-MA, 3-methyladenine; ATG, autophagy related; BAD, BCL2 associated agonist of cell death; BAK1, BCL2 antagonist/killer 1; BAX, BCL2 associated X, apoptosis regulator; BBC3/PUMA, BCL2 binding component 3; BCL2, BCL2 apoptosis regulator; BID, BH3 interacting domain death agonist; BIP-V5, BAX inhibitor peptide V5; CFLAR/FLIP, CASP8 and FADD like apoptosis regulator; CPE, cytopathic effects; CQ, chloroquine; CV, coxsackievirus; DAPK, death associated protein kinase; DRAM, DNA damage regulated autophagy modulator; EV71, enterovirus 71; FMDV, foot-and-mouth disease virus; HAV, hepatitis A virus; KD, knockdown; MAP1LC3/LC3, microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3; MOI, multiplicity of infection; MTOR, mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase; PML, promyelocytic leukemia; PV, poliovirus; SVA, Seneca Valley virus; TCID50, 50% tissue culture infectious doses; TOR, target of rapamycin.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system. Its morbidity and mortality rank among the highest in the world. Cancer development is associated with aberrant signaling pathways. Autophagy is a process of cell self-digestion that maintains the intracellular environment and has a bidirectional regulatory role in cancer. Apoptosis is one of the important death programs in cancer cells and is able to inhibit cancer development. Studies have shown that a variety of substances can regulate autophagy and apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells through signaling pathways, and participate in the regulation of autophagy on apoptosis. In this paper, we focus on the relevant research on autophagy in colorectal cancer cells based on the involvement of related signaling pathways in the regulation of apoptosis in order to provide new research ideas and therapeutic directions for the treatment of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunotherapies, such as oncolytic viruses, have become powerful cancer treatments, but only some patients with cancer can benefit from them, especially those with advanced-stage cancer, and new therapeutic strategies are needed to facilitate extended survival. The intestinal microbiota may contribute to colorectal cancer (CRC) carcinogenesis and the response to immunotherapy. However, whether and how the intestinal microbiota modulates the effects of oncolytic virus vaccines (OVVs) in CRC remain to be investigated. METHODS We generated an MC38-gp33 CRC mouse model and treated it with OVV-gp33 in early and advanced stages. Probiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), and antibiotics (ABX) were administered to regulate the microbial composition of CRC mice at an advanced stage. The tumor growth rate and survival time of the mice were recorded; 16S rDNA sequencing was used to analyze the microbial composition and flow cytometry was used to detect T-cell subset activity. RESULTS OVV-gp33 treatment inhibited tumor growth and prolonged survival in the early stage of CRC but did not have a significant effect on the advanced stage of CRC. Moreover, 16S rDNA sequence analysis and flow cytometry showed significant differences in intestinal microbiota composition, microbial metabolites, and T-cell subsets in early and advanced-stage CRC. Probiotic and FMT treatment significantly enhanced the antitumor effect of OVV in the advanced stage of CRC with an increased abundance of activated CD8+ T cells and a decreased ratio of Treg cells, while depletion of the microbiota by ABX eliminated the antitumor activity of OVV with decreased CD8+ T-cell activation and upregulated Treg cells. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that the intestinal microbiota and microbial metabolites play an important role in the antitumor effect of OVV in CRC. Furthermore, altering the intestinal microbiota composition can modulate the antitumor and immunomodulatory effects of OVV in CRC.

Abstract
Newcastle disease (ND) is a highly pathogenic, contagious, and fatal infectious disease in poultry caused by the Newcastle disease virus (NDV). The PI3K/AKT signaling pathway is a phosphorylation cascade that participates in regulating several cellular functions. Viruses reportedly regulate the course of infection through the PI3K/AKT axis. Here, we aimed to analyze the pathogenesis of NDV infection mediated by the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway activation. We found that NDV infection can phosphorylate AKT to activate the PI3K/AKT axis both in vitro and in vivo. Flow cytometry and Caspase-3 activity assay showed that NDV infection could inhibit cell apoptosis. The activation or inhibition of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway activity significantly inhibited or promoted NDV-mediated apoptosis. Furthermore, inhibition of cell apoptosis significantly promoted NDV replication. Overall, our results showed that NDV infection activates the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and inhibits cell apoptosis, thus promoting viral replication. In this context, the reduced expression of PHLPP2 protein mediated by NDV infection could be inhibited by MG132. PHLPP2 expression reversely and positively regulated NDV replication and cell apoptosis, respectively. These results indicated that NDV infection-mediated activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and the inhibition of apoptosis depend on the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation of the PHLPP2 protein. Co-IP and indirect immunofluorescence results showed that NDV V protein could interact with PHLPP2 protein, indicating that NDV targeted PHLPP2 protein degradation through V protein to activate the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. This study deepens our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of NDV infection, providing a theoretical basis for ND prevention and control.

Synergistic antitumor efficacy of rMV-Hu191 and Olaparib in pancreatic cancer by generating oxidative DNA damage and ROS-dependent apoptosis. Transl Oncol 2024; 39:101812.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignancies with BRCA1/2 deficiencies are particularly sensitive to PARP inhibitors. Thus, combining PARP inhibitors with agents that impair DNA damage repair to treat BRCA1/2 wild-type PDAC could broaden the clinical use of these promising PARP inhibitors. Here we examined the synergism and mechanism of oncolytic measles virus (rMV-Hu191) with a PARP inhibitor (Olaparib) in vitro and in vivo. METHODS The cell viability assay, cell cycle analysis, colony formation assay, TCID 50 method, western blotting, flow cytometry, DNA comet assay, Mice bearing PDAC xenografts, IF, IHC and TUNEL assay were performed to explore the antitumor efficacy and underlying mechanisms. RESULTS In this study, we explored the antitumor activities of rMV-Hu191 and Olaparib in two PDAC cell lines harboring wild-type BRCA1/2 genes. Compared to monotherapy, the combination of rMV-Hu191 and Olaparib was able to synergistically cause growth arrest, apoptotic cell death and DNA damage, accompanying with excessive oxidative stress. Mechanistically, the data indicated that the observed synergy depended on the oxidative DNA damage and ROS-dependent apoptosis generating by rMV-Hu191 combined with Olaparib in human PDAC cells. Tumor inhibition and prolonged survival of PDAC mice xenografts in vivo confirmed the synergism of combinational treatment with trivial side-effects. CONCLUSIONS Our findings firstly suggested that combination treatment with rMV-Hu191 and Olaparib had a profound and synergistic therapeutic effect against human PDAC through synthetic lethality. In conclusion, we recommend combining oncolytic rMV-Hu191 with a PARP inhibitor (Olaparib) as a novel therapeutic strategy and provided a potential mechanism for advanced PDAC regardless of BRCA mutation status.

Abstract
Recent reports have revealed that oncolytic viruses (OVs) play a significant role in cancer therapy. The infection of OVs such as oncolytic vaccinia virus (OVV), vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), parvovirus, mammalian reovirus (MRV), human adenovirus, Newcastle disease virus (NDV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), avian reovirus (ARV), Orf virus (ORFV), inactivated Sendai virus (ISV), enterovirus, and coxsackievirus offer unique opportunities in immunotherapy through diverse and dynamic pathways. This mini-review focuses on the mechanisms of OVs-mediated virotherapy and their effects on immunogenic cell death (ICD), apoptosis, autophagy and regulation of the immune system.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common human malignancies worldwide. Along with apoptosis and inflammation, autophagy is one of three important mechanisms in CRC. The presence of autophagy/mitophagy in most normal mature intestinal epithelial cells has been confirmed, where it has mainly protective functions against reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced DNA and protein damage. Autophagy regulates cell proliferation, metabolism, differentiation, secretion of mucins and/or anti-microbial peptides. Abnormal autophagy in intestinal epithelial cells leads to dysbiosis, a decline in local immunity and a decrease in cell secretory function. The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling pathway plays an important role in colorectal carcinogenesis. This is evidenced by the biological activities of IGFs (IGF-1 and IGF-2), IGF-1 receptor type 1 (IGF-1R) and IGF-binding proteins (IGF BPs), which have been reported to regulate cell survival, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Defects in autophagy are found in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS), inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and CRC. In neoplastic cells, the IGF system modulates the autophagy process bidirectionally. In the current era of improving CRC therapies, it seems important to investigate the exact mechanisms not only of apoptosis, but also of autophagy in different populations of tumor microenvironment (TME) cells. The role of the IGF system in autophagy in normal as well as transformed colorectal cells still seems poorly understood. Hence, the aim of the review was to summarize the latest knowledge on the role of the IGF system in the molecular mechanisms of autophagy in the normal colon mucosa and in CRC, taking into account the cellular heterogeneity of the colonic and rectal epithelium.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Current therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy encounter obstacles in preventing metastasis of CRC even when applied in combination. Immune checkpoint inhibitors depict limited effects due to the limited cases of CRC patients with high microsatellite instability (MSI-H). Cancer vaccines are designed to trigger the elevation of tumor-infiltrated lymphocytes, resulting in the intense response of the immune system to tumor antigens. This review briefly summarizes different categories of CRC vaccines, demonstrates the current outcomes of relevant clinical trials, and provides particular focus on recent advances on nanovaccines and neoantigen vaccines, representing the trend and emphasis of CRC vaccine development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND DDP-based chemotherapy is one of the first-line treatment in GC. However, the therapeutic efficacy of DDP is limited due to side effects. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop novel adjuvants to synergize with DDP. We had demonstrated previously that rMV-Hu191 had antitumor activity in GC. Here we examined the synergism of rMV-Hu191 with DDP in vitro and in vivo. METHODS Cellular proliferation, the synergistic effect and cell apoptosis were evaluated by CCK-8 assay, ZIP analysis and flow cytometry, respectively. The protein levels and location of ASMase were monitored by western blot and immunofluorescence assay. shRNA and imipramine were used to regulate the expression and activity of ASMase. MβCD was administrated to disrupt lipid rafts. Mice bearing GC xenografts were used to confirm the synergism in vivo. RESULTS From our data, combinational therapy demonstrated synergistic cytotoxicity both in resistant GC cell lines from a Chinese patient and drug-nonresistant GC cell lines, and increased cell apoptosis, instead of viral replication. Integrity of lipid rafts and ASMase were required for rMV-Hu191- and combination-induced apoptosis. The ASMase was delivered to the lipid raft microdomains at the initial stage of rMV-Hu191 treatment. In vivo GC mice xenografts confirmed the synergism of combinational treatment, together with increased apoptosis and trivial side-effects. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to demonstrate that rMV-Hu191 combined with DDP could be used as a potential therapeutic strategy in GC treatment and the ASMase and the integrity of lipid rafts are required for the synergistic effects.
