Multimodal phototheranostics utilizing single molecules offer a "one-and-done" approach, presenting convenient and effective strategy for cancer therapy. However, therapies based on conventional photosensitizers often suffer from limitations such as photosensitizing mechanism, restricted tumor penetration retention, the requirement multiple irradiations, which significantly constrain their application. In this report, we present an aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen) bacteria hybrid bionic robot to address above issues. This is composed of multifunctional AIEgen (INX-2) Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN), i.e., EcN@INX-2. The EcN@INX-2 exhibits near-infrared II (NIR-II) fluorescence demonstrates efficient photodynamic photothermal effects, well tumor-targeting capabilities. These features are facilitated by complementary roles INX-2 EcN. successfully enables in vivo multimodal imaging therapy colon models female mice through various mechanisms, including activation anti-tumor immunity, Our study paves avenue designing diagnostic agents targeted image-guided combinational immunotherapy. utility hindered need limited retention.

Inflammation, a hallmark of cancer, has been associated with tumor progression, transition into malignant phenotype and efficacy anticancer treatments in cancer. It affects all stages from the initiation carcinogenesis to metastasis. Chronic inflammation induces immunosup-pression, providing an environment conducive carcinogenesis, whereas acute antitumor immune response, leading suppression. Solid tumors have inflammatory microenvironment (TME) containing cancer cells, stromal soluble molecules, which plays key role progression therapy response. Both cells TME are highly plastic constantly change their phenotypic functional properties. Cancer-associated inflammation, majority consists innate important cell plasticity, development drug resistance. Today, combined used advanced technologies, such as single-cell RNA sequencing spatial molecular imaging analysis, pathways linking chronic largely elucidated.

Background: Among rheumatologic diseases following therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), the cases of cancer patients diagnosed as having polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), particularly nivolumab and pembrolizumab, has been steadily rising in published reports. Objectives: We performed a systematic review case reports aim answering these questions: (1) Is PMR pembrolizumab an adverse drug reaction (ADR)? (2) there difference between those pembrolizumab? Methods: Based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, comprehensive literature search three main bibliographic databases: MEDLINE (Ovid interface), EMBASE, COCHRANE Library was carried out 27 December 2024. This no registration number. Results: Data were extracted from 12 patients. Namely, 5 followed treatment 7 pembrolizumab.

The role of immunogenic cell death (ICD) in cervical cancer (CESC) is not well understood. This study sought to investigate the significance ICD CESC and establish an ICDRs prognostic model improve immunotherapy efficacy for patients with cancer. ICD-associated genes were screened at single-cell transcriptome levels based on AddModuleScore, single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) weighted co-expression network (WGCNA) analysis. Immunogenic death-related features (ICDRs) constructed using multiple machine algorithms, evaluated training validation sets provide quantitative tools predicting prognosis clinical practice. Predictive models used risk subgroups response immunotherapy, as drug sensitivity. Finally, expression ICD-related was verified by RT-qPCR. Through integrated data, transcriptomic profiling, computational modeling, seven identified highly patients. Multivariate demonstrated that low-risk had significantly better overall survival compared high-risk patients, confirming independent tool. Assessments tumor microenvironment (TME), mutation characteristics, sensitivity within indicated a stronger group.

Abstract Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have limited clinical efficacy against gastric cancer (GC) due to the nonimmunogenic tumor microenvironment. Therefore, inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) reprogram landscape is essential. This study develops HD‐FA nanoparticles by encapsulating a novel mitochondrion‐targeted NIR‐II modulator, HD, within DSPE‐PEG‐FA. exhibits superior spatiotemporal resolution, robust accumulation, and minimal adverse effects. Upon 808 nm laser irradiation, generates reactive oxygen species, leading ferroptosis oxidative stress damage in GC cells inhibiting SLC7A11/GSH/GPX4 axis. triggers ICD, resulting antitumor activity not only primary tumors but also distant tumors. Moreover, promotes dendritic maturation, increases effector‐memory T‐cell frequency, reduces presence of myeloid‐derived suppressor cells, thereby fostering enhanced immunity. presents first report modulator for synergistic therapy with ICIs, marking significant advancements fight GC.

Clinical data have shown that Serine/Threonine Kinase 11 (STK11) mutation may be associated with an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITEM) and poor prognosis failure of anti-PD-1 (αPD1) treatment in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To explore the potential restoring STK11 protein immunotherapy, a bionic gene delivery system was prepared by coating STK11-encoded DNA-cationic polymer complex core membrane, termed STK11@PPCM. STK11@PPCM could specifically bind NSCLC cells achieve precise DNA. The released DNA effectively restored expression, consequently reactivating autophagy immunogenic death (ICD) cells. liberated damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) autophagosome induced dendritic (DCs) maturation, which turn enhanced CD8 + T infiltration, M1 macrophage polarization, proinflammatory factor thereby reversing ITEM. Moreover, also found to improve sensitivity αPD1 increasing expression PD-L1, confirmed STK11-mutated xenografted mouse models, constructed CRISPR-Cas9 knockout technology. This work demonstrated for first time restoration functional can reverse ITME boost efficacy NSCLC, offering new therapeutic approach adenocarcinoma clinic.
