A study by Rahim et al. explores the use of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in cancer treatment, specifically focusing on the preservation of lymph nodes. The study suggests that preserving lymph node integrity can enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy by activating antitumor T cells. The researchers found that immunotherapy primarily activates lymph nodes rather than intratumoral T cells, highlighting the importance of lymph node preservation. The study advocates for the use of immunotherapy as a neoadjuvant intervention and emphasizes the need for further research in this area. [Extracted from the article]

Background: Salivary gland pleomorphic adenoma (SPA) is a common neoplasm of salivary glands that displays remarkable histological diversity. Previous studies have demonstrated the involvement of gene rearrangements and cytoskeleton‐remodeling‐related myoepithelial cells in SPA tumorigenesis. Cytoskeleton remodeling is necessary for epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT), a key process in tumor progression. However, the heterogeneity of tumor cells and cytoskeleton remodeling in SPA has not been extensively investigated. Methods: An analysis of single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq) was performed on 27 810 cells from two donors with SPA. Bioinformatic tools were used to assess differentially expressed genes, cell trajectories, and intercellular communications. Immunohistochemistry and double immunofluorescence staining were used to demonstrate FOXC1 and MYLK expression in SPA tissues. Results: Our analysis revealed five distinct cell subtypes within the tumor cells of SPA, indicating a high level of intra‐lesional heterogeneity. Cytoskeleton‐remodeling‐related genes were highly enriched in subtype 3 of the tumor cells, which showed a close interaction with mesenchymal cells. We found that tumoral FOXC1 expression was closely related to MYLK expression in the tumor cells of SPA. Conclusion: Tumor cells enriched with cytoskeleton‐remodeling‐related genes play a crucial role in SPA development, and FOXC1 may partially regulate this process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Tumour cell‐secreted microvesicles (MVs) contribute immensely to tumour progression. However, the role of tumoral salivary MVs in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains unclear. Herein, we elucidated the role of non‐apoptotic salivary tumoral MVs in OSCC development, especially relating to the migration ability. We purified and compared non‐apoptotic salivary tumoral MVs from 63 OSCC patients and orthotopic OSCC mice model. Next, we compared the protein difference between apoptotic and non‐apoptotic MVs by Western blot, proteomics and flow cytometry from saliva and CAL27 cells. Finally, we collected the non‐apoptotic MVs and co‐cultured with normal oral epithelial cells, the migration ability was examined by wound healing assay and Western blot assay. Our results indicated that the levels of non‐apoptotic tumoral S‐MVs were significantly higher in OSCC patients with T3 to T4 stages than in patients with T1 to T2 stages or healthy donors. In OSCC mice model, we found elevations of non‐apoptotic tumoral MVs associated with tumoral volume. EGFR overexpression increased the generation of non‐apoptotic tumoral MVs which could significantly promote normal epithelial cell migration. In conclusion, elevated levels of non‐apoptotic tumoral S‐MVs are associated with clinicopathologic features of OSCC patients, implying that non‐apoptotic tumoral S‐MVs are a potential progressive marker of OSCC.

CANCER ,CANCER chemotherapy ,CYTOKINES ,CANCER treatment ,METASTASIS - Abstract
Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), a member of the STAT family, discovered in the cytoplasm of almost all types of mammalian cells, plays a significant role in biological functions. The duration of STAT3 activation in normal tissues is a transient event and is strictly regulated. However, in cancer tissues, STAT3 is activated in an aberrant manner and is induced by certain cytokines. The continuous activation of STAT3 regulates the expression of downstream proteins associated with the formation, progression, and metastasis of cancers. Thus, elucidating the mechanisms of STAT3 regulation and designing inhibitors targeting the STAT3 pathway are considered promising strategies for cancer treatment. This review aims to introduce the history, research advances, and prospects concerning the STAT3 pathway in cancer. We review the mechanisms of STAT3 pathway regulation and the consequent cancer hallmarks associated with tumor biology that are induced by the STAT3 pathway. Moreover, we summarize the emerging development of inhibitors that target the STAT3 pathway and novel drug delivery systems for delivering these inhibitors. The barriers against targeting the STAT3 pathway, the focus of future research on promising targets in the STAT3 pathway, and our perspective on the overall utility of STAT3 pathway inhibitors in cancer treatment are also discussed.

EXTRACELLULAR vesicles ,CELL communication ,NUCLEIC acids ,DISEASE progression - Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid‐bilayer membrane structures secreted by most cell types. EVs act as messengers via the horizontal transfer of lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, and influence various pathophysiological processes in both parent and recipient cells. Compared to EVs obtained from body fluids or cell culture supernatants, EVs isolated directly from tissues possess a number of advantages, including tissue specificity, accurate reflection of tissue microenvironment, etc., thus, attention should be paid to tissue‐derived EVs (Ti‐EVs). Ti‐EVs are present in the interstitium of tissues and play pivotal roles in intercellular communication. Moreover, Ti‐EVs provide an excellent snapshot of interactions among various cell types with a common histological background. Thus, Ti‐EVs may be used to gain insights into the development and progression of diseases. To date, extensive investigations have focused on the role of body fluid‐derived EVs or cell culture‐derived EVs; however, the number of studies on Ti‐EVs remains insufficient. Herein, we summarize the latest advances in Ti‐EVs for cancers and non‐cancer diseases. We propose the future application of Ti‐EVs in basic research and clinical practice. Workflows for Ti‐EV isolation and characterization between cancers and non‐cancer diseases are reviewed and compared. Moreover, we discuss current issues associated with Ti‐EVs and provide potential directions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The adenosine‐induced immunosuppression hampers the immune response toward tumor cells and facilitates the tumor cells to evade immunosurveillance. CD73, an ecto‐5‐nucleotidase, is the ectoenzyme dephosphorylating extracellular AMP to adenosine. Here, using immunocompetent transgenic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) mouse model, immune profiling showed high expression of CD73 on CD4
+ and CD8+ T cells was associated with an “exhausted” phenotype. Further, treatment with anti‐CD73 monoclonal antibody (mAb) significantly blunted the tumor growth in the mouse model, and the blockade of CD73 reversed the “exhausted” phenotype of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells through downregulation of total expression of PD‐1 and CTLA‐4 on T cells. Whereas the population of CD4+ CD73hi /CD8+ CD73hi T cells expressed higher CTLA‐4 and PD‐1 as compared to untreated controls. In addition, the human tissue microarrays showed the expression of CD73 is upregulated on tumor infiltrating immune cells in patients with primary HNSCC. Moreover, CD73 expression is an independent prognostic factor for poor outcome in our cohort of HNSCC patients. Altogether, these findings highlight the immunoregulatory role of CD73 in the development of HNSCC and we propose that CD73 may prove to be a promising immunotherapeutic target for the treatment of HNSCC.

Abstract: A major challenge for traditional cancer therapy, including surgical resection, chemoradiotherapy, and immunotherapy, is how to induce tumor cell death and leverage the host immune system at the same time. Here, a myeloid‐derived suppressor cell (MDSC) membrane‐coated iron oxide magnetic nanoparticle (MNP@MDSC) to overcome this conundrum for cancer therapy is developed. In this study, MNP@MDSC demonstrates its superior performance in immune evasion, active tumor‐targeting, magnetic resonance imaging, and photothermal therapy (PTT)‐induced tumor killing. Compared with red blood cell membrane‐coated nanoparticles (MNPs@RBC) or naked MNPs, MNP@MDSCs are much more effective in active tumor‐targeting, a beneficial property afforded by coating MNP with membranes from naturally occurring MDSC, thus converting the MNP into “smart” agents that like to accumulate in tumors as the source MDSCs. Once targeted to the tumor microenvironment, MNPs@MDSC can act as a PTT agents for enhanced antitumor response by inducing immunogenic cell death, reprogramming the tumor infiltrating macrophages, and reducing the tumor's metabolic activity. These benefits, in combination with the excellent biocompatibility and pharmacological kinetics characteristics, make MNP@MDSC a promising, multimodal agent for cancer theranostics.

- Abstract
Immune evasion is a hallmark feature of cancer, and it plays an important role in tumour initiation and progression. In addition, tumour immune evasion severely hampers the desired antitumour effect in multiple cancers. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of the Notch pathway in immune evasion in the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) microenvironment. We first demonstrated that Notch1 signaling was activated in a Tgfbr1/ Pten-knockout HNSCC mouse model. Notch signaling inhibition using a γ-secretase inhibitor (GSI-IX, DAPT) decreased tumour burden in the mouse model after prophylactic treatment. In addition, flow cytometry analysis indicated that Notch signaling inhibition reduced the sub-population of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs), as well as immune checkpoint molecules (PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3), in the circulation and in the tumour. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) of human HNSCC tissues demonstrated that elevation of the Notch1 downstream target HES1 was correlated with MDSC, TAM and Treg markers and with immune checkpoint molecules. These results suggest that modulating the Notch signaling pathway may decrease MDSCs, TAMs, Tregs and immune checkpoint molecules in HNSCC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Here, we present a platelet‐facilitated photothermal tumor therapy (PLT‐PTT) strategy, in which PLTs act as carriers for targeted delivery of photothermal agents to tumor tissues and enhance the PTT effect. Gold nanorods (AuNRs) were first loaded into PLTs by electroporation and the resulting AuNR‐loaded PLTs (PLT‐AuNRs) inherited long blood circulation and cancer targeting characteristics from PLTs and good photothermal property from AuNRs. Using a gene‐knockout mouse model, we demonstrate that the administration of PLT‐AuNRs and localizing laser irradiation could effectively inhibit the growth of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In addition, we found that the PTT treatment augmented PLT‐AuNRs targeting to the tumor sites and in turn, improved the PTT effects in a feedback manner, demonstrating the unique self‐reinforcing characteristic of PLT‐PTT in cancer therapy.

Immature myeloid cells including myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) promote tumour growth and metastasis by facilitating tumour transformation and angiogenesis, as well as by suppressing antitumour effector immune responses. Therefore, strategies designed to reduce MDSCs and TAMs accumulation and their activities are potentially valuable therapeutic goals. In this study, we show that negative immune checkpoint molecule B7-H3 is significantly overexpressed in human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) specimen as compared with normal oral mucosa. Using immunocompetent transgenic HNSCC models, we observed that targeting inhibition of B7-H3 reduced tumour size. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that targeting inhibition of B7-H3 increases antitumour immune response by decreasing immunosuppressive cells and promoting cytotoxic T cell activation in both tumour microenvironment and macroenvironment. Our study provides direct in vivo evidence for a rationale for B7-H3 blockade as a future therapeutic strategy to treat patients with HNSCC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nanoparticles possess the potential to revolutionize cancer diagnosis and therapy. The ideal theranostic nanoplatform should own long system circulation and active cancer targeting. Additionally, it should be nontoxic and invisible to the immune system. Here, the authors fabricate an all-in-one nanoplatform possessed with these properties for personalized cancer theranostics. Platelet-derived vesicles (PLT-vesicles) along with their membrane proteins are collected from mice blood and then coated onto Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNs). The resulting core-shell PLT-MNs, which inherit the long circulation and cancer targeting capabilities from the PLT membrane shell and the magnetic and optical absorption properties from the MN core, are finally injected back into the donor mice for enhanced tumor magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and photothermal therapy (PTT). Meanwhile, it is found that the PTT treatment impels PLT-MNs targeting to the PTT sites (i.e., tumor sites), and exactly, in turn, the enhanced targeting of PLT-MNs to tumor sites can improve the PTT effects. In addition, since the PLT membrane coating is obtained from the mice and finally injected into the same mice, PLT-MNs exhibit stellar immune compatibility. The work presented here provides a new angle on the design of biomimetic nanoparticles for personalized diagnosis and therapy of various diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
SRC family kinases (SFKs), a group of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases, modulate multiple cellular functions, such as cell proliferation, differentiation and metabolism. SFKs display aberrant activity in progressive stages of human cancers. However, the precise role of SFKs in the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) signaling network is far from clear. In this study, we found that the inhibition of SFKs activity by dasatinib effectively reduced the tumor size and population of MDSCs in the HNSCC mouse model. Molecular analysis indicates that phosphorylation of LYN, rather than SRC, was inhibited by dasatinib treatment. Next, we analyzed LYN expression by immunostaining and found that it was overexpressed in the human HNSCC specimens. Moreover, LYN expression in stromal cells positively correlated with myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) makers CD11b and CD33 in human HNSCC. The dual positive expression of LYN in epithelial and stromal cells (EPI
+ SRT+ ) was associated with unfavorable overall survival of HNSCC patients. These findings indicate that SFKs may be a potential target for an effective immunotherapy of HNSCC by decreasing MDSCs and moreover, LYN will have an impact on such therapeutic strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), with fascinating optical and chemical features, are a promising new generation of fluorescent probes. Although UCNPs have been widely used in diagnosis and therapy, there is an unmet need for a simple and effective surface engineering method that can produce cancer-targeting UCNPs. Here, we show that by coating particles with macrophage membranes, it becomes possible to utilize the adhesion between macrophages and cancer cells for effective cancer targeting. Natural macrophage membranes along with their associated membrane proteins were reconstructed into vesicles and then coated onto synthetic UCNPs. The resulting macrophage membrane-camouflaged particles (MM-UCNPs) exhibited effective cancer targeting capability inherited from the source cells and were further used for enhanced in vivo cancer imaging. Finally, the blood biochemistry, hematology testing and histology analysis results suggested a good in vivo biocompatibility of MM-UCNPs. The combination of synthetic nanoparticles with biomimetic cell membranes embodies a novel design strategy toward developing biocompatible nanoprobes for potential clinical applications. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

- Abstract
In this paper, autofluorescent gelatin nanoparticles were synthesized as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) responsive probes for cancer cell imaging. A modified two-step desolvation method was employed to generate these nanoparticles whose size was controllable and had stable autofluorescence. As glutaraldehyde was introduced as the crosslinking agent, the generation of Schiff base (CN) and double carbon bond (CC) between glutaraldehyde and gelatin endowed these gelatin nanoparticles distinct autofluorescence. Considering MMPs were usually overexpressed on the surface of cancer cells and they had degradation ability toward gelatin, we utilized these nanoparticles as imaging probes to responsively monitor the MMP metabolism of cancer cells according to the luminance change. As fluorescent probes, these nanoparticles had facile synthesis procedure and good biocompatibility, and provided a smart strategy to monitor cancer cell behaviors. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cell membrane coating nanotechnology, which endows nanoparticles with unique properties, displays excellent translational potential in cancer diagnosis and therapy. However, the preparation and evaluation of these cell membrane‐coated nanoparticles are based on cell lines and cell‐line‐based xenograft mouse models. The feasibility of cell membrane‐camouflaged nanomaterials is tested in a preclinical setting. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patient‐derived tumor cell (PDTC) membranes are coated onto gelatin nanoparticles (GNPs) and the resulting PDTC@GNPs show efficient targeting to homotypic tumor cells and tissues in patient‐derived xenograft (PDX) models. When the donor‐derived cell membrane of PDTC@GNPs matched those of the host cells, significant targeting capability is observed. In contrast, mismatch between the donor and host results in weak targeting. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that autologous separation and administration of cellular membranes and anticancer cisplatin (Pt)‐loaded PDTC@GNPs, respectively, lead to almost complete tumor ablation in a subcutaneous model and effectively inhibit tumor recurrence in a postsurgery model. The work presented here reinforces the translation of these biomimetic nanoparticles for clinical applications and offers a simple, safe, and effective strategy for personalized cancer treatment.

Cell membrane–based nanosystems with desirable characteristics have been studied extensively for many therapeutic applications. However, current research has focused on single cell membrane, and multifunctional fused membrane materials from different membrane types are still rare. Herein, a platelet–cancer stem cell (CSC) hybrid membrane‐coated iron oxide magnetic nanoparticle (MN) {[CSC‐P]MN} is presented for the first time for the enhanced photothermal therapy of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Inherited from the original source cells, the platelet membrane shows immune evading ability due to the surface marker comprising a number of "don't eat me" signals, and the CSC membrane has homotypic targeting capabilities due to the specific surface adhesion molecules. The [CSC‐P]MNs possess superior characteristics for immune evasion, active cancer targeting, magnetic resonance imaging, and photothermal therapy. Compared with single cell membrane–coated MNs, [CSC‐P]MNs exhibit prolonged circulation times and enhanced targeting abilities. Moreover, the [CSC‐P]MNs exhibit a superior photothermal ability that provides excellent HNSCC tumor growth inhibition, particularly in an immunocompetent Tgfbr1/Pten conditional double knockout HNSCC mouse model that contains a more complex tumor microenvironment that is similar to the human HNSCC microenvironment. Collectively, this biomimetic multimembrane‐coated nanoplatform may provide enhanced antitumor efficacy in the complex tumor microenvironment. A natural cancer stem cell‐platelet hybrid mimic membrane is collected from tumor‐bearing mice and further used for magnetic nanoparticle coating. The obtained biomimetic nanoparticles are then injected into the same mice for magnetic resonance imaging and photothermal therapy. The work presents a novel design strategy for personalized cancer theranostics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
