Abstract
BACKGROUND Humanized mouse models with engraftment of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are effective tools for the study of human immunity. Busulfan has been used as a substitute for irradiation in human hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation models, but it has not been tested in human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) transplantation models. METHODS This study evaluated PBMC engraftment using cytometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in female NOD.CB17/Prkdcscid/JKrb/ IL2 receptor γ-/- (NIG) mice treated with busulfan. RESULTS In this model, the percentage of human CD3+ T cell engraftment in the blood was 28.2%, with dominant infiltration of CD8+ cells in the spleen 3 weeks post PBMC transplantation. Production of human cytokines, including Interleukin (IL)-12p70, IL-4, IL-5, IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-8, IL-22, Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha, and IL-10, was determined in mice treated with busulfan. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate that busulfan treatment is a beneficial alternative for simple and efficient PBMC engraftment in a rodent model, possibly helping to evaluate human immunity in preclinical studies.

Abstract
The current high prevalence of malignant tumors has attracted considerable attention, and treating advanced malignancies is becoming increasingly difficult. Although immunotherapy is a hopeful alternative, it is effective in only a few people. Thus, development of preclinical animal models is needed. Humanized xenotransplantation mouse models can help with selecting treatment protocols, evaluating curative effects and assessing prognosis. This review discusses the establishment of humanized mouse models and their application prospects in cancer immunotherapy to identify tailored therapies for individual patients.

Abstract
The establishment of an in vivo mouse model mimicking human tumor-immune environments provides a promising platform for immunotherapy assessment, drug discovery and clinical decision guidance. To this end, we construct humanized NCG mice by transplanting human hCD34 + hematopoietic progenitors into non-obese diabetic (NOD) Cg- Prkdc scidIL2rg tm1Wjl /Sz (null; NCG) mice and monitoring the development of human hematopoietic and immune systems (Hu-NCG). The cell line-derived xenograft (CDX) Hu-NCG mouse models are set up to assess the outcome of immunotherapy mediated by the small molecule BMS202. As a PD-1/PD-L1 blocker, BMS202 shows satisfactory antitumour efficacy in the HCT116 and SW480 xenograft Hu-NCG mouse models. Mechanistically, BMS202 exerts antitumour efficacy by improving the tumor microenvironment and enhancing the infiltration of hCD8 + T cells and the release of hIFNγ in tumor tissue. Thus, tumor-bearing Hu-NCG mice are a suitable and important in vivo model for preclinical study, particularly in cancer immunotherapy.

Electrostatic Charge-Mediated Apoptotic Vesicle Biodistribution Attenuates Sepsis by Switching Neutrophil NETosis to Apoptosis. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2022; 18:e2200306.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy can attenuate organ damage and reduce mortality in sepsis; however, the detailed mechanism is not fully elucidated. In this study, it is shown that MSC-derived apoptotic vesicles (apoVs) can ameliorate multiple organ dysfunction and improve survival in septic mice. Mechanistically, it is found that tail vein-infused apoVs mainly accumulate in the bone marrow of septic mice via electrostatic charge interactions with positively charged neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Moreover, apoVs switch neutrophils NETosis to apoptosis via the apoV-Fas ligand (FasL)-activated Fas pathway. In summary, these findings uncover a previously unknown role of apoVs in sepsis treatment and an electrostatic charge-directed target therapeutic mechanism, suggesting that cell death is associated with disease development and therapy.

Ex vivo expansion and functional activity preservation of adult hematopoietic stem cells by a diarylheptanoid from Curcuma comosa. Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 143:112102.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs, CD34+ cells) have shown therapeutic efficacy for transplantation in various hematological disorders. However, a large quantity of HSCs is required for transplantation. Therefore, strategies to increase HSC numbers and preserve HSC functions through ex vivo culture are critically required. Here, we report that expansion medium supplemented with ASPP 049, a diarylheptanoid isolated from Curcuma comosa, and a cocktail of cytokines markedly increased numbers of adult CD34+ cells. Interestingly, phenotypically defined primitive HSCs (CD34+CD38-CD90+) were significantly increased under ASPP 049 treatment relative to control. ASPP 049 treatment also improved two functional properties of HSCs, as evidenced by an increased number of CD34+CD38- cells in secondary culture (self-renewal) and the growth of colony-forming units as assessed by colony formation assay (multilineage differentiation). Transplantation of cultured CD34+ cells into immunodeficient mice demonstrated the long-term reconstitution and differentiation ability of ASPP 049-expanded cells. RNA sequencing and KEGG analysis revealed that Hippo signaling was the most likely pathway involved in the effects of ASPP 049. These results suggest that ASPP 049 improved ex vivo expansion and functional preservation of expanded HSCs. Our findings provide a rationale for the use of ASPP 049 to grow HSCs prior to hematological disease treatment.

Abstract
A variety of humanized mice, which are reconstituted only with human hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) or with fetal thymus and HSCs, have been developed and widely utilized as in vivo animal models of HIV-1 infection. The models represent some aspects of HIV-mediated pathogenesis in humans and are useful for the evaluation of therapeutic regimens. However, there are several limitations in these models, including their incomplete immune responses and poor distribution of human cells to the secondary lymphoid tissues. These limitations are common in many humanized mouse models and are critical issues that need to be addressed. As distinct defects exist in each model, we need to be cautious about the experimental design and interpretation of the outcomes obtained using humanized mice. Considering this point, we mainly characterize the current conventional humanized mouse reconstituted only with HSCs and describe past achievements in this area, as well as the potential contributions of the humanized mouse models for the study of HIV pathogenesis and therapy. We also discuss the use of various technologies to solve the current problems. Humanized mice will contribute not only to the pre-clinical evaluation of anti-HIV regimens, but also to a deeper understanding of basic aspects of HIV biology.
