    Abstract FENDRR (Fetal-lethal non-coding developmental regulatory RNA, LncRNA FOXF1-AS1) is a recently identified tumor suppressor long non-coding (LncRNA) RNA, and its expression has been linked with epigenetic modulation of the target genes involved in tumor immunity. In this study, we aimed to understand the role of FENDRR in predicting immune-responsiveness and the inflammatory tumor environment. Briefly, FENDRR expression and its relationship to immune activation signals were assessed in murine cell lines. Data suggested that tumor cells (e.g., C26 colon, 4T1 breast) that typically upregulate immune activation genes and the MHC class I molecule exhibited high FENDRR expression levels. Conversely, tumor cells with a generalized downregulation of immune-related gene expression (e.g., B16F10 melanoma) demonstrated low to undetectable FENDRR levels. Mechanistically, the modulation of FENDRR expression enhanced the inflammatory and WNT signaling pathways in tumors. Our early data suggest that FENDRR can play an important role in the development of immune-relevant phenotypes in tumors, and thereby improve cancer immunotherapy.

    Abstract Using attenuated Salmonella that efficiently homes in solid tumors, here we developed thermobots that actively transported membrane attached low-temperature sensitive liposome (LTSL) inside colon cancer cells for triggered doxorubicin release and simultaneous polarized macrophages to M1 phenotype with high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) heating (40-42 °C). Biocompatibility studies showed that the synthesized thermobots were highly efficient in LTSL loading without impacting its viability. Thermobots demonstrated efficient intracellular trafficking, high nuclear localization of doxorubicin, and induced pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in colon cancer cells in vitro. Combination of thermobots and HIFU heating (~30 min) in murine colon tumors significantly enhanced polarization of macrophages to M1 phenotype and therapeutic efficacy in vivo compared to control. Our data suggest that the thermobots and focused ultrasound treatments have the potential to improve colon cancer therapy.

    Abstract Genomic sequencing has played a major role in understanding the pathogenicity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). With the current pandemic, it is essential that SARS-CoV-2 viruses are sequenced regularly to determine mutations and genomic modifications in different geographical locations. In this study, we sequenced SARS-CoV-2 from five clinical samples obtained in Oklahoma, United States during different time points of pandemic presence in the state. One sample from the initial days of the pandemic in the state and four during the peak in Oklahoma were sequenced. Previously reported mutations including D614G in S gene, P4715L in ORF1ab, S194L, R203K, and G204R in N gene were identified in the genomes sequenced in this study. Possible novel mutations were also detected in the S gene (G1167V), ORF1ab (A6269S and P3371S), ORF7b (T28I), and ORF8 (G96R). Phylogenetic analysis of the genomes showed similarity to other SARS-CoV-2 viruses reported from across the globe. Structural characterization indicates that the mutations in S gene possibly influences conformational flexibility and motion of the spike protein, and the mutations in N gene are associated with disordered linker region within the nucleocapsid protein.
