    Abstract BACKGROUND Systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a disease characterized by the deposition of amyloid fibrils throughout tissues due to the production of misfolded immunoglobulin light chains by clonally expanded populations of CD38+ plasma cells. Some patients can have liver involvement, which typically presents with nonspecific symptoms. Daratumumab, a human CD38-targeting antibody, has shown efficacy in improving hematological parameters and organ function in patients with AL amyloidosis. Low-frequency daratumumab can reduce financial burden, but whether it is effective for patients with liver involvement has not been reported. CASE REPORT We present the case of a 64-year-old man admitted to our hospital with fatigue and recurrent fever. Histological analysis of a liver biopsy demonstrated AL amyloidosis. Bone marrow biopsy demonstrated the presence of abnormal plasma cells. Laboratory test results demonstrated increased levels of circulating free kappa (kappa) light chains, which were also seen on blood and urine immunofixation electrophoresis. Based on these findings, AL amyloidosis of the kappa light chain type with liver, cardiac, and renal involvement was diagnosed. The patient ultimately achieved hematological stringent complete response, liver remission, renal complete response, and cardiac very good partial response after 2 cycles of the low-frequency daratumumab, bortezomib, and dexamethasone regimen and 4 cycles of daratumumab and dexamethasone regimen chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS The case indicates that low-frequency daratumumab treatment can have efficacy in AL amyloidosis with liver involvement.

    Abstract Induction of antigen-specific immune tolerance for the treatment of allergic or autoimmune diseases is an attractive strategy. Herein, we investigated the protective effect of a transdermal microneedle patch against allergic asthma by stimulating allergen-specific immune tolerance. We fabricated biodegradable tolerogenic nanoparticles (tNPs) that are loaded with a model allergen ovalbumin (OVA) and an immunomodulator rapamycin, and filled the tNPs into microneedle tips by centrifugation to form sustained-release microneedles. After intradermal immunization, the microneedles successfully delivered the cargos into the skin and sustainedly released them for over 96 h. Importantly, the microneedles induced allergen-specific regulatory T cells (Treg), decreased the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and antibodies while increased anti-inflammation cytokines, finally leading to restored immune homeostasis. The lung tissue analysis illustrated that the sustained-release microneedles significantly reduced the infiltration of eosinophils, decreased the accumulation of mucus and collagen, and significantly relived asthma symptoms. Our results suggested that the sustained-release microneedle-based transdermal delivery system can induce antigen-specific immune tolerance with improved compliance and efficacy, providing a new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of allergic and autoimmune diseases.

    Abstract Melatonin, a lipophilic hormone released from the pineal gland, has oncostatic effects on various types of cancers. However, its cancer treatment potential needs to be improved by deciphering its corresponding mechanisms of action and optimising therapeutic strategy. In the present study, melatonin inhibited gastric cancer cell migration and soft agar colony formation. Magnetic-activated cell sorting was applied to isolate CD133

    Abstract Traditional photothermal therapy ablates tumor cells by a high temperature (> 50 °C). Although it has shown good anti-tumor effect in animal models, the potential damages to healthy tissues and the unnecessary inflammatory reactions caused by the high temperature have hindered the clinical transitions of traditional photothermal therapy. In this study, we used polydopamine (PDA) as a mild photothermal material and control the maximum temperature below 45 °C, which not only avoided the side effects caused by a high temperature, but also ablated a fraction of tumor cells and produced tumor antigens. Meanwhile, the near-infrared (NIR) light also served as a "switch" to trigger the release of CRISPR/Cas9 RNP from Fe

    Abstract Vaccines represent one of the most powerful and cost-effective innovations for controlling a wide range of infectious diseases caused by various viruses and bacteria. Unlike mRNA and DNA-based vaccines, subunit vaccines carry no risk of insertional mutagenesis and can be lyophilized for convenient transportation and long-term storage. However, existing adjuvants are often associated with toxic effect and reactogenicity, necessitating expanding the repertoire of adjuvants with better biocompatibility, for instance, designing self-adjuvating polymeric carriers. We herein report a novel subunit vaccine delivery platform constructed via in situ free radical polymerization of C7A (2-(Hexamethyleneimino) ethyl methacrylate) and acrylamide around the surface of individual protein antigens. Using ovalbumin (OVA) as a model antigen, we observed substantial increases in both diameter (∼70 nm) and surface potential (-1.18 mV) following encapsulation, referred to as n(OVA)C7A. C7A's ultra pH sensitivity with a transition pH around 6.9 allows for rapid protonation in acidic environments. This property facilitates crucial processes such as endosomal escape and major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-I-mediated antigen presentation, culminating in the substantial CD8

    Abstract Secreted phospholipase A2s (sPLA2s) are a group of enzymes with 6-8 disulfide bonds that participate in numerous physiological processes by catalyzing the hydrolysis of phospholipids at the sn-2 position. Due to their high content of disulfide bonds and hydrolytic activity toward cell membranes, obtaining the protein of sPLA2s in the soluble and active form is challenging, which hampers their functional study. In this study, one member of recombinant human sPLA2s, tag-free group IIE (GIIE), was expressed in

    Abstract Clickable unnatural sugars have been widely used in studying glycosylation in living systems via the metabolic glycan labelling (MGL) strategy. Partial protection of unnatural sugars by 1,6-di-O-acylation increases the labelling efficiency while avoiding the non-specific S-glyco-modification. Herein, we report the facile synthesis of a series of clickable unnatural sugars in both the unprotected and 1,6-di-O-acylated forms at the ten-gram scale. By evaluation of the labelling specificity, efficiency, and biocompatibility of various 1,6-di-O-acylated sugars for MGL in cell lines and living mice, we demonstrate that 1,6-di-O-propionylated unnatural sugars are optimal chemical reporters for glycan labelling. The synthetic routes developed in this work should facilitate the widespread use of MGL with no artificial S-glyco-modification for investigating the functional roles of glycans.
