Abstract
Herpes simplex keratitis (HSK) is a severe, infectious corneal disease caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection. The increasing prevalence of acyclovir resistance, the side effects of hormonal drugs, and the ease of recurrence after surgery have made it crucial to develop new methods of treating HSK. HSV-1 evades the host immune response through various mechanisms. Therefore, we explored the role of the immunogenic cell death inducer PKHB1 peptide in HSK. After subconjunctival injection of PKHB1 peptide, we observed the ocular surface lesions and survival of HSK mice and detected the virus levels in tear fluid, corneas, and trigeminal ganglions. We found that PKHB1 peptide reduced HSV-1 levels in the eye and alleviated the severity of HSK. Moreover, it increased the number of corneal infiltrating antigen-presenting cells (APCs), such as macrophages and dendritic cells, and CD8+ T cells in ocular draining lymph nodes. We further observed that PKHB1 peptide promoted the exposure of calreticulin, as well as the release of ATP and high-mobility group box 1 in HSV-1-infected cells in vitro. Our findings suggested that PKHB1 peptide promoted the recruitment and maturation of APCs by inducing the release of large amounts of damage-associated molecular patterns from infected cells. APCs then phagocytized antigenic materials and translocated to the lymph nodes, triggering a cytotoxic T lymphocyte-dependent immune response that ultimately alleviated HSK.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. Recent advances in the field of immuno-oncology demonstrate the beneficial immunostimulatory effects of the induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD). ICD increases tumor infiltration by T cells and is associated with improved prognosis in patients affected by triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) with residual disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antitumoral effect of PKHB1, a thrombospondin-1 peptide mimic, against breast cancer cells, and the immunogenicity of the cell death induced by PKHB1 in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo. Our results showed that PKHB1 induces mitochondrial alterations, ROS production, intracellular Ca2+ accumulation, as well calcium-dependent cell death in breast cancer cells, including triple negative subtypes. PKHB1 has antitumor effect in vivo leading to a reduction of tumor volume and weight and promotes intratumoral CD8 + T cell infiltration. Furthermore, in vitro, PKHB1 induces calreticulin (CALR), HSP70, and HSP90 exposure and release of ATP and HMGB1. Additionally, the killed cells obtained after treatment with PKHB1 (PKHB1-KC) induced dendritic cell maturation, and T cell antitumor responses, ex vivo. Moreover, PKHB1-KC in vivo were able to induce an antitumor response against breast cancer cells in a prophylactic application, whereas in a therapeutic setting, PKHB1-KC induced tumor regression; both applications induced a long-term antitumor response. Altogether our data shows that PKHB1, a thrombospondin-1 peptide mimic, has in vivo antitumor effect and induce immune system activation through immunogenic cell death induction in breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Background Several serum biomarkers, including miRNA, mRNA, protein and peptides in cancer patients are also important mediators of cancer progression. Methods The differentially expressed peptides between the serum of ovarian cancer patients and healthy controls were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The function of the peptides was analyzed by CCK8, transwell, wound healing, and flow cytometry analysis. And the mechanism of the peptides was analyzed by peptide pull down, and high-throughput RNA-sequencing. Results A total of 7 and 46 peptides were significantly up-regulated and down-regulated in the serum of ovarian cancer patients, respectively. The precursor proteins of the differentially expressed peptides mainly involved in the complement and coagulation cascades, platelet activation, phagosome and focal adhesion pathways. Interestingly, focal adhesion, platelet activation, platelet-cancer cell interaction, complement activation, coagulation cascades and phagosome formation are all critical factors for cancer initiation or progression, which indicated that the peptides may play a crucial role in cancer development. And we identified one peptide, ZYX36-58, which was down-regulated in the serum of ovarian cancer patients, significantly inhibited invasion and migration and promoted the apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells. Mechanistic study indicated that ZYX36-58 interacted with and increased the protein level of the antiangiogenic protein thrombospondin-1 (TSP1), which has a tumor suppressive effect on ovarian cancer. Conclusions ZYX36-58, which was significantly down-regulated in the serum of ovarian cancer patients can significantly inhibit cell invasion, migration and promote apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells by binding and up-regulating TSP1 protein expression.

Abstract
p97 has recently emerged as a therapeutic target for cancer due to its essential functions in protein homeostasis. CB-5083 is a first-in-class, potent and selective ATP-competitive p97 inhibitor that induces proteotoxic stress in cancer cells. Potential mechanisms regulating the sensitivity of cells to p97 inhibition remain poorly studied. Here, we demonstrate that Thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) is a CB-5083-upregulated gene that helps confer resistance of HCT116 cells to CB-5083. Our immunoblotting and immunofluorescence data showed that CB-5083 significantly increases the steady-state abundance of THBS1. Blockade of THBS1 induction sensitized cells to CB-5083-mediated growth inhibition. Suppression of THBS1 caused an increase of CB-5083-induced sub-G1 population and caspase 3/7 activity suggesting that its function is linked to the survival of cancer cells in response to p97 inhibition. Altogether our data provide new evidence that THBS1 is important for the susceptibility of cells to p97 inhibition.
