Out-of-the-Box Nanocapsules Packed with On-Demand Hydrophobic Anticancer Drugs for Lung Targeting, Esterase Triggering, and Synergy Therapy. Adv Healthc Mater 2021; 10:e2001803.

Abstract
Most anticancer drugs, particularly paclitaxel (PTX), are suffering the challenges of cancer chemotherapy due to their poor water-solubility, high toxicity under effective therapeutic dosages, and multi-drug resistance. Currently, nanoscale drug delivery systems (DDSs) represent an efficient platform to overcome the above challenges. However, those DDSs generally need a careful design of conjugation, complexation, or co-self-assembly. Herein, a facile out-of-the-box nanocapsule is developed not only to be easily packed with on-demand hydrophobic anticancer drugs (up to 76% of loading efficiency for PTX), but also to be loaded with other concomitant drugs for synergy therapy (Itraconazole (ITA) here as P-glycoprotein inhibitor for drug resistance and antiangiogenic agent for combination therapy with PTX). Three kinds of biocompatible poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylates (PEGDM) derivatives usually as cross-linking agents are selected and successfully constructed adequate nanocapsules with single monomer as shell materials. More importantly, as-prepared nanocapsules have abilities of esterase triggering and lung targeting. Both in vitro and in vivo studies showed that the drug-loaded nanocapsules can effectively inhibit tumor growth and vascular proliferation in PTX-resistant tumor models without apparent systemic toxicity. The above results demonstrate that the nanocapsule system provides an effective and universal strategy for lung targeting, esterase triggering, and synergy therapy.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens repress Th1 immune response suppression and promotes lung cancer metastasis through PD-1/PDl-1 signaling pathway. Cell Death Dis 2019; 10:44. [PMID: 30718463 PMCID: PMC6362089 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-018-1237-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2018] [Revised: 11/11/2018] [Accepted: 11/19/2018] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Given one-third of the world's population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), it is important to identify the underling molecular mechanism between development of TB and lung cancer. This study investigated the immune response to MTB infection on lung metastasis in lung cancer cells via T cell-mediated immune response. To clarify this problem, we analyzed the expression levels of PD-1, PD-L1, and PD-L2 and immune function in antigen-specific T cell as derived from MTB patients or spleen lymphocytes derived from wild-type and PD-1 knockout mice with MTB antigen stimulation and Lewis lung cancer cells injection. Our data indicate that the expression levels of PD-1, PD-L1, and PD-L2 were elevated in active pulmonary TB patients, as well as in mice received MTB and lung cancer cells treatment. We also observed the T cell-mediated cellular immune response were inhibited by MTB while MTB significantly promote tumor metastasis in lung. In conclusion, the PD-1/PD-L pathway is required MTB repressed T-cell immune response and promotes tumor metastasis. This study provides evidence that blockade of PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway may benefit patients with MTB or other chronic infection and even prevent them from development of cancer.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the expression, biological function and mechanism of action of engrailed homeobox 2 (EN2) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at the tissue and cellular level. A total of 42 patients who underwent surgical resection of NSCLC tissues between January 2014 and January 2015 were included in the present study. EN2 mRNA expression levels in explanted NSCLC tissues were determined using reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. Adenocarcinoma human alveolar basal epithelial A549 cells were transfected with negative control plasmids or those containing EN2, enabling its overexpression. To assess the effect of EN2 overexpression in A549 cells, a Cell Counting kit-8 assay was used to analyze cellular proliferation, a Transwell assay was used to evaluate cellular migration and invasion and flow cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle distribution. To measure protein expression of EN2 and β-catenin in A549 cells, western blotting was also conducted. EN2 mRNA expression levels in NSCLC tissues were lower than those in normal tissues, and were associated with metastasis, clinical staging and differentiation degrees of NSCLC. Increased expression of EN2 inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells in vitro, and suppressed their migration and invasion. Elevated EN2 expression inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells by regulating the G1/S phase transition. β-catenin protein expression levels and nuclear translocation in A549 cells were inhibited by EN2 overexpression. The present study demonstrated that expression of EN2 in NSCLC tissues was downregulated and negatively associated with the degree of disease differentiation, lymphatic metastasis and clinical staging. Overexpression of EN2 inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion of A549 cells, as well as the expression of β-Catenin and nuclear translocation.

Abstract
A nanocarrier system of d-a-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS)-functionalized polydopamine-coated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (NPs) is developed for sustainable and pH-responsive delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) as a model drug for the treatment of drug-resistant nonsmall cell lung cancer. Such nanoparticles are of desired particle size, drug loading, and drug release profile. The surface morphology, surface charge, and surface chemical properties are also successfully characterized by a series of techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The normal A549 cells and drug-resistant A549 cells are employed to access the cytotoxicity and cellular uptake of the NPs. The therapeutic effects of TPGS-conjugated nanoparticles are evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Compared with free DOX and DOX-loaded NPs without TPGS ligand modification, MSNs-DOX@PDA-TPGS exhibits outstanding capacity to overcome multidrug resistance and shows better in vivo therapeutic efficacy. This splendid drug delivery platform can also be sued to deliver other hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs.

Abstract
Our previous studies have shown that Qing-Re-Huo-Xue (QRHX) formulae had significant anti-inflammatory effects in chronic airway diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive lung disease. Here, we examined the effects of QRHX on lung cancer cell invasion and the potential associated mechanism(s), mainly polarization of macrophages in the tumor microenvironment. In vivo, QRHX both inhibited tumor growth and decreased the number of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in mice with lung cancer. Further study indicated that QRHX inhibited cancer-related inflammation in tumor by decreasing infiltration of TAMs and IL-6 and TNF-α production and meanwhile decreased arginase 1 (Arg-1) expression and increased inducible NO synthase (iNOS) expression. QRHX could markedly inhibit CD31 and VEGF protein expression. Additionally, CXCL12/CXCR4 expression and JAK2/STAT3 phosphorylation were reduced in QRHX treatment group. Thus, we draw that QRHX played a more important role in inhibiting tumor growth by regulating TAMs in mice, which was found to be associated with the inhibition of inflammation and the CXCL12/CXCR4/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.
