    Abstract Objectives: In this study, we aimed to investigate whether oral cancer cells affect pancreatic β-cells function through transmissible endoplasmic reticulum stress (TERS).
    Methods: Tunicamycin (TM) was selected as the endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) inducer. The human oral cancer cell lines CAl-27 and SCC-25 were selected as the donor cells, and mouse insulinoma 6 (MIN6) cell lines were chosen as the recipient cells. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and Western blot (WB) analysis were used to detect ERS markers and insulin expression. The TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) method was applied to detect apoptosis levels. The clone formation method was utilized to detect cell proliferation capability. The secretory function of pancreatic β-cells was detected with an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit and a bicinchoninic acid (BCA) kit.
    Results: The MIN6 cells were subjected to TM stimulation. qPCR and WB analysis revealed that ERS markers were upregulated. This result implied that the MIN6 cells can induce ERS. The supernatant of oral cancer cells under ERS was added to the MIN6 cells. qPCR and WB analysis showed that the oral cancer cells that had been subjected to ERS could induce ERS in the MIN6 cells, that is, the phenomenon of TERS occurred. The TUNEL assay indicated that the apoptosis of the MIN6 cells increased under TERS. The clone formation assay demonstrated that the proliferation capability of the MIN6 cells decreased under TERS. qPCR and WB analysis revealed that under TERS, insulin synthesis by the MIN6 cells decreased and insulin synthesis was inhibited at the translation level. The ELISA and BCA kits demonstrated that insulin secretion by the MIN6 cells was reduced under TERS.
    Conclusions: Oral cancer cells can affect pancreatic β-cells through TERS, resulting in increased apoptosis, decreased viability, and reduced insulin secretion and synthesis capability.

    Abstract Cancer progress is accompanied by platelet activation and thrombotic complications. Platelets are a dangerous alliance of cancer cells, and are a close engager in multiple processes of cancer metastasis. Platelet adhesion to cancer cells forms a protective cloak that helps cancer cells to escape immune surveillance and natural killer cell-mediated cytolysis. Platelets facilitate tethering and arrest of disseminated cancer cells in the vasculature, enhance invasive potentials and thus extravasation of cancer cells. Moreover, platelets recruit monocytes and granulocytes to the sites of cancer cell arrest, and collaborate with them to establish a pro-metastatic microenvironment and metastatic niches. Platelets also secret a number of growth factors to stimulate cancer cell proliferation, release various angiogenic regulators to regulate tumor angiogenesis and subsequently promote cancer growth and progress. Albeit platelets are helping the "villain" cancer to do evil, the close engagements of platelets in cancer metastasis and progress can be used as the intervention targets for new anti-cancer therapeutic developments. Platelet-targeted anti-cancer strategy may bring in novel anti-cancer treatments that can synergize the therapeutic effects of chemotherapies and surgical treatments of cancer.

    Abstract Angiogenesis is critical for the initiation and progression of solid tumors, as well as hematological malignancies. While angiogenesis in solid tumors has been well characterized, a large body of investigation is devoted to clarify the impact of angiogenesis on lymphoma development. B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) is the most common lymphoid malignancy with a highly heterogeneity. The malignancy remains incurable despite that the addition of rituximab to conventional chemotherapies provides substantial improvements. Several angiogenesis-related parameters, such as proangiogenic factors, circulating endothelial cells, microvessel density, and tumor microenvironment, have been identified as prognostic indicators in different types of B-NHL. A better understanding of how these factors work together to facilitate lymphoma-specific angiogenesis will help to design better antiangiogenic strategies. So far, VEGF-A monoclonal antibodies, receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting VEGF receptors, and immunomodulatory drugs with antiangiogenic activities are being tested in preclinical and clinical studies. This review summarizes recent advances in the understanding of the role of angiogenesis in B-NHL, and discusses the applications of antiangiogenic therapies.

    Abstract Tumor immunotherapy is an important tool in oncology treatment. However, only a small percentage of patients have an effective immune response to tumor immunotherapy due to the poor infiltration of pro-inflammatory immune cells in immune "cold" tumors and an immunosuppressive network in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Ferroptosis has been widely used as a novel strategy to enhance tumor immunotherapy. Herein, manganese molybdate nanoparticles (MnMoOx NPs) depleted the highly expressed glutathione (GSH) in tumors and inhibited glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) expression, thus triggering ferroptosis, inducing immune cell death (ICD), further releasing damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), and enhancing tumor immunotherapy. Furthermore, MnMoOx NPs can efficiently suppress tumors, promote the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs), infiltrate T cells, and reverse the immunosuppressive microenvironment, making the tumor an immune "hot" tumor. Combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) (α-PD-L1) further enhanced the anti-tumor effect and inhibited metastases as well. The work provides a new idea for the development of nonferrous inducers of ferroptosis to enhance cancer immunotherapy.

    Abstract Platelets are well known for their roles in hemostasis and thrombosis, and are increasingly recognized for their abilities to interact with white blood cells during inflammatory diseases, via secreted soluble factors as well as cell-cell contact. This interaction has been investigated in animal models and patient samples and has shown to be implicated in patient outcomes in several diseases. Platelet-leukocyte co-cultures are widely used to study platelet-leukocyte interactions ex vivo. However, there is a paucity with regard to the systematic characterization of cell activation and functional behaviors of platelets and leukocytes in these co-cultures. Hence we aimed to characterize a model of platelet-leukocyte co-culture ex vivo. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and platelets were isolated and co-cultured for 5 days at 37 °C in the presence or absence of anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies or PHA. We evaluated PF-4 secretion and p-selectin expression in platelets as markers of platelet activation. Lymphocyte activation was assessed by cell proliferation and cell population phenotyping, in addition to platelet-lymphocyte aggregation. Platelet secretion and p-selectin expression is maintained throughout the co-culture, indicating that platelets were viable and reactive over the 5 days. Similarly PBMCs were viable and maintained proliferative capacity. Finally, dynamic heterotypic conjugation between platelets and T lymphocytes was also observed throughout co-culture (with a peak at days 3 and 4) upon T lymphocyte activation. In conclusion, this in vitro model can successfully mimic the in vivo interaction between platelets and T lymphocytes, and can be used to confirm and/or support in vivo results.

    Abstract Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory and thrombotic disease, in which both CD4+ T cells and platelets play important roles throughout all stages of atherogenesis. CD4+ T cells are the most abundant T cells present in atherosclerotic lesions. They are primarily seen as type 1 T helper (Th1) cells, while the other CD4+ T cell subsets Th2, Th17, and regulatory T (Treg) cells are also found in the lesions with lower frequencies. CD4+ T effector cells release various cytokines, which exert paracrine or autocrine effects among different CD4+ T cell subsets and other lesional cells and subsequently modulate inflammatory processes in the lesions. Platelets are instrumental in thrombosis and haemostasis, but also play important regulatory roles in immune response, inflammation, and angiogenesis. The present review summarises the current knowledge and/or understanding on how platelets regulate recruitment, activation, differentiation, and cytokine production of different CD4+ T cell subsets, as well as impacts of the platelet- CD4+ T cell interactions on atherogenesis. The research perspectives of platelet-CD4+ T cell interaction in atherosclerosis are also discussed.

    Abstract Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) integrated with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) are scientifically used to characterise the morphology, chemical composition and elemental distribution of powder samples. Upon an accessible analytical instrument, the specimen preparation method directly affects the quality and accuracy of the observation and analysis. In this paper, three preparation methods were utilised to characterise the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based materials, and their strengths as well as the limitations are discussed. Thus, a characterisation strategy was established by comparing the obtained three measurement together with the derived sample information. To the end, we proposed to acquire the backscattered electron (BSE) images of nanoscale heavier nanoclusters grafted CNTs, typically for wide functional applications such as energy conversion and storage. Our proposed optimum method works particularly on the clarification of powder samples with small particle sizes and low atomic numbers, which underscores the involved contribution of SEM backscattered electron images.
