The concept of immunogenic cell death (ICD) induced by chemotherapy as a potential synergistic modality for cancer immunotherapy has been widely discussed. Unfortunately, most chemotherapeutic agents failed to dictate effective ICD responses due their defects in inducing potent signaling. Here, we report dual-enzyme-instructed peptide self-assembly platform CPMC (CPT-GFFpY-PLGVRK-Caps) that cooperatively utilizes camptothecin (CPT) and capsaicin (Caps) promote engage systemic adaptive immunity tumor rejection. Although CPT Caps respectively prevent progression inhibiting type-I DNA topoisomerase activating transient receptor cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) intracellular calcium overload, neither alone effectively stimulates sufficient signaling meet immunotherapeutic needs. CPMC, sequentially allowing an active derivative VRK-Caps release extracellularly intracellularly, can synergize two distinct apoptosis pathways stimulated increase immunogenicity elicit T-cell-based immunity. Consequently, facilitates the generation improved tumor-specific cytotoxic T-cell sustained immunological memory, successfully suppressing both primary distant tumors. Moreover, render tumors susceptible PD-L1 blockade with antiprogrammed death-ligand (aPDL1) antibody inhibition. Combining drugs low ICD-stimulating capacity using strategy was demonstrated boost potentiate immunotherapy.

Abstract Cholesterol is an essential membrane component, and the metabolites from cholesterol play important biological functions to intricately support cancer progression dampen immune responses. Preclinical clinical studies have demonstrated role of metabolism regulation on inhibiting tumor growth, remodeling immunosuppressive microenvironment (TME), enhancing anti‐tumor immunity. In this minireview, we discuss complex in tumors, its progression, influences cells TME. We provide overview recent advances treatment through regulating metabolism. design cholesterol‐altering multifunctional nanomaterials regulate oxidative stress, modulate checkpoints, manipulate mechanical stress responses, alter metabolic pathways. Additionally, examine interactions between established treatments with aim identifying efficient strategies disrupt synergistic combination therapies for effective treatment.

Abnormal cancer metabolism causes hypoxia and immunosuppression, limiting the anti-tumor efficacy of radiotherapy. Herein, we report a positively charged, mitochondria-targeted nanoscale metal-organic layer conjugated with 3-bromopyruvate (BP), BP/Hf12-Ir, for metabolic reprogramming radiosensitization. BP/Hf12-Ir disrupts oxidative phosphorylation glycolysis, reducing energy production alleviating to enhance radiotherapy immunity. in combination X-ray irradiation inhibits tumor growth by 95% prevents lung metastasis mouse models. When further combined immune checkpoint blockade, this treatment induces robust immunity, achieving 98% inhibition.

To combat the emerging threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), in this study, two amphiphilic nucleopeptides (NPs) were synthesized by conjugating nucleobase thymine with peptide amphiphiles. These compounds fully characterized using various analytical techniques. Notably, both formed hydrogels milli-Q water at neutral pH (pH 6.9). X-ray diffraction further confirmed antiparallel β-sheet-like structures, along aromatic π–π stacking and hydrogen-bonding (H-bonding) interactions between moieties gel phase. Field emission gun transmission electron microscopy revealed a nanofibrillar network structure these self-assembled peptides. A significant feature supramolecular self-assemblies is their potent activity against types bacteria, such as Gram-positive Gram-negative standard American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) including Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, multidrug-resistant clinically isolated ATCC strains methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Among these, peptides demonstrated remarkable inhibition MRSA (MIC: 15.92–16.86 μM) K. pneumoniae 8.8–50 μM), highlighting potential agents deadly (MDR) bacteria. Additionally, assemblies found to be highly biocompatible, MTT assays on HEK-293 cells, showing IC50 values range 0.5–1.1 mM. In an vitro wound healing assay HeLa fluorescence that treatment did not disrupt cell or mitochondrial membranes cells. This work presents broad-spectrum efficacy MDR demonstrates high biocompatibility, supporting use agents.

Efficacious chemotherapy and real-time therapeutic monitoring remain major challenges in cancer treatment. Traditional systems often lack tumor specificity, limiting efficacy, hindering therapy optimization. Moreover, the absence of can lead to missed opportunities increased risks side effects. Herein, we designed a self-reporting ratiometric AIEgen-peptide nanoprobe (TPE-1(Hyd-DOX)-DEVD) for activatable noninvasive imaging outcomes. When doxorubicin (DOX) is selectively activated acidic microenvironment, ensuing caspase-3 cascade triggers morphological transformation that amplifies TPE fluorescence. This enhancement allows TPE/DOX fluorescence ratio serve as an indicator DOX activation providing feedback. Both vitro vivo studies demonstrated TPE-1(Hyd-DOX)-DEVD exhibited impressive suppression efficacy excellent biocompatibility. study highlights strong potential this valuable tool theranostics, offering hope more effective personalized treatment strategies.

Tracking autophagy in cancer cells is crucial for enhancing therapies. Existing methods are often inefficient and cannot distinguish from normal during autophagy. Herein, a sequentially activated peptide probe, NBD-1p-Dabcyl, was developed achieving cell-specific imaging of The probe self-assembled fluoresced brightly upon sequential processing by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) autophagy-related protease (ATG4B), where NBD-1p-Dabcyl dephosphorylated ALP to give NBD-1-Dabcyl, which then processed ATG4B into nanofibers emitting strong fluorescence. Notably, the bright fluorescence NBD observed MDA-MB-231 HeLa, while NIH3T3 exhibited weaker fluorescence, allowing differentiation between using rapamycin (Rap)-induced cell model. enhanced attributed higher activities intracellular ATG4B. Next, used assess inhibition efficiency an inhibitor NSC 185058 cells, correlation intensity concentration suggested that could predict activity inhibitors. Finally, animal experiments revealed effectively facilitated situ tumor tissues. design this offers practical approach monitoring enabling high-throughput screening inhibitors therapy.
