Abstract Addressing the challenges of identifying suitable targets and effective delivery strategies is critical in pursuing therapeutic solutions for glioblastoma (GBM). This study focuses on potential microRNA-124 (miR-124), known its tumor-suppressing properties, by investigating ability to target key oncogenic pathways GBM.

However, delivering miRNA-based therapies remains a major obstacle due instability RNA molecules difficulty achieving targeted, efficient delivery. To address these issues, this research introduces an innovative, non-viral dual-gene platform utilizes umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UMSCs) exosomes transport programmed death protein-1 (PD-1). efficacy system was validated using orthotopic model, which closely mimics microenvironment seen patients. Experimental demonstrate UMSC/ miR-124-PD-1 complex successfully induce apoptosis cells, inhibiting growth. Notably, treatments show minimal cytotoxic effects normal glial highlighting safety selectivity. Moreover, highlights immunomodulatory properties exosomes, enhancing activation immune such T dendritic while reducing immunosuppressive populations like regulatory myeloid-derived suppressor cells. orchestrated UMSCs showcased targeted inhibition positive modulation, emphasizing promising approach

Background/Objectives: There is increasing evidence to indicate that histotripsy treatment can enhance the host anti-tumor immune responses both locally at targeting tumor site as well systemically from abscopal effects. Histotripsy a non-invasive ultrasound ablation technology mechanically disrupts target tissue via cavitation. A key factor contributing histotripsy-induced effects believed be release of tumor-specific antigens (TSAs) or tumor-associated (TAAs) induce systemic response. In this study, we studied effect on HER2, well-defined TAA for cancer immunotherapy. Methods: range doses administered HER2-postive mammary cells in an vitro cell culture system and ex vivo were applied. addition, single dose was used murine model. The released proteins, specifically cell-free supernatants pellets analyzed by BCA protein assay, ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) Western blot. Results: Our results showed could significantly trigger HER2 proteins current study. level actually higher than pellets, suggesting intracellular domain into extracellular compartment. Furthermore, proportionally more doses, indicating free histotripsy-dose-dependent. Conclusions: conclusion, have qualitatively quantitatively demonstrated triggers histotripsy-mediated provides important insights mechanism underlying its immunostimulation suggests potential TSA/TAA-based immunotherapies numerous types.

Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM), a highly aggressive brain tumor, poses significant treatment challenges due to its immunosuppressive microenvironment and the immune privilege. Immunotherapy activating system T lymphocyte infiltration holds great promise against GBM. However, brain’s low immunogenicity difficulty of crossing blood-brain barrier (BBB) hinder therapeutic efficacy. Recent advancements in immune-actuated particles for targeted drug delivery have shown potential overcome these obstacles. These interact with BBB by rapidly reversibly disrupting structure, thereby significantly enhancing targeting penetrating delivery. The also minimizes long-term damage. At GBM, demonstrated effective chemotherapy, chemodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic (PDT), radiotherapy, or magnetotherapy, facilitating tumor disruption promoting antigen release. Additionally, components retained autologous tumor-associated antigens presented them dendritic cells (DCs), ensuring prolonged activation. This review explores mechanisms existing strategies, role nanomaterials immunotherapy.
