DEAD-BOX RNA HELICASE 27 regulates microRNA biogenesis, zygote division, and stem cell homeostasis.

After double fertilization, zygotic embryogenesis initiates a new life cycle, and stem cell homeostasis in the shoot apical meristem (SAM) and root apical meristem (RAM) allows plants to produce new tissues and organs continuously. Here, we report that mutations in DEAD-BOX RNA HELICASE 27 (RH27) affect zygote division and stem cell homeostasis in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). The strong mutant allele rh27-1 caused a zygote-lethal phenotype, while the weak mutant allele rh27-2 led to minor defects in embryogenesis and severely compromised stem cell homeostasis in the SAM and RAM. RH27 is expressed in embryos from the zygote stage, and in both the SAM and RAM, and RH27 is a nucleus-localized protein. The expression levels of genes related to stem cell homeostasis were elevated in rh27-2 plants, alongside down-regulation of their regulatory microRNAs (miRNAs). Further analyses of rh27-2 plants revealed reduced levels of a large subset of miRNAs and their pri-miRNAs in shoot apices and root tips. In addition, biochemical studies showed that RH27 associates with pri-miRNAs and interacts with miRNA-biogenesis components, including DAWDLE, HYPONASTIC LEAVES 1, and SERRATE. Therefore, we propose that RH27 is a component of the microprocessor complex and is critical for zygote division and stem cell homeostasis.

A novel [1, 2, 4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazoline derivative as a fluorescent probe for highly selective detection of Fe3+ ions.

A novel [1, 2, 4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazoline fluorescent probe (VIi) for Fe3+ was developed, featuring with rapid response (< 5 s) and specific selectivity to Fe3+, low detection limit (1.3 × 10-5 M), as well as the ability to resist interference of chelating agent (e.g. EDTA). VIi-based fluorescent test paper can quickly recognize Fe3+ under irradiation at the wavelength of 365 nm. The fluorescence probe VIi has potential application prospects for the detection of Fe3+ in real circumstance.

Subgroups of relational job characteristics and their differences in turnover intention and subjective well-being among nurses: a latent profile analysis.

OBJECTIVE: Relational job characteristics include perceived social worth and perceived social influence. Good relational job characteristics mean that nurses have high prosocial behavior. The purpose of this study was to explore the potential profile of nurses' relational job characteristics, influencing factors and their differences in turnover intention and subjective well-being, thus finding the most suitable clinical relationship job characteristics. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1013 clinical nurses using the general demographic data questionnaire, Relational Job Characteristics scale, Turnover Intention Questionnaire and Campbell index of well-being. A latent profile analysis was performed to explore relational job characteristics latent profiles. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the predictors of profile membership, and a one-way analysis of variance was applied to compare the turnover intention and subjective well-being in each latent profile. RESULTS: Five latent profiles were identified and labeled 'High prosocial job characteristics' profile (20.7%), 'Moderate prosocial job characteristics' profile (41.7%), 'High social worth-low social impact perceived' profile (6.3%), 'Low social worth-high social impact perceived' profile (18.8%) and 'Low prosocial job characteristics' profile (12.5%). Factors affecting the different types of nurse relationship job characteristics include age, marital status, hospital department, nursing years, professional title and hospital position. Among them, chief nurse, nurses with more than 20 years of nursing experience and obstetrics and gynecology nurses were more likely to be 'high prosocial job characteristics' profile. The turnover intention of nurses in 'high prosocial job characteristics' profile was significantly lower than that of other profiles, and their subjective well-being was significantly higher than that of other profiles. CONCLUSION: Improving nurses' perception of social worth and social impact on clinical work can improve nurses' prosocial behavior and subjective well-being, and reduce their turnover intention. Nursing managers or policy makers can formulate targeted intervention measures according to the influencing factors of potential profiles.

A New Pathway for the Synthesis of Ketones from Aldehydes and Sulfonylhydrazones: Is Diazo the Key Intermediate?

A new pathway via a cyclic intermediate for the synthesis of ketones from aldehydes and sulfonylhydrazone derivatives under basic conditions is proposed. Several control experiments were performed along with analysis of the mass spectra and in-situ IR spectra of the reaction mixture. Inspired by the new mechanism, an efficient and scalable method for homologation of aldehydes to ketones was developed. A wide variety of target ketones were obtained in yields of 42-95 % by simply heating the 3-(trifluoromethyl)benzene sulfonylhydrazones (3-(Tfsyl)hydrazone) for 2 h at 110 °C with aldehydes and with K2 CO3 and DMSO as base and solvent, respectively.

Differential renal proteomics analysis in a novel rat model of iodinated contrast-induced acute kidney injury.

Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), which occurs after the use of iodinated contrast media, has become the third leading cause of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury (AKI). It is associated with prolonged hospitalization and increased risks of end-stage renal disease and mortality. The pathogenesis of CI-AKI is unclear and effective treatments are lacking. By comparing different post-nephrectomy times and dehydration times, we constructed a new, short-course CI-AKI model using dehydration for 24 h two weeks after unilateral nephrectomy. We found that the low-osmolality contrast media iohexol caused more severe renal function decline, renal morphological damage, and mitochondrial ultrastructural alterations compared to the iso-osmolality contrast media iodixanol. The shotgun proteomics based on Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) was used to conduct proteomics research on renal tissue in the new CI-AKI model, and 604 distinct proteins were identified, mainly involving complement and coagulation cascade, COVID-19, PPAR signalling pathway, mineral absorption, cholesterol metabolism, ferroptosis, staphylococcus aureus infection, systemic lupus erythematosus, folate biosynthesis, and proximal tubule bicarbonate reclamation. Then, using parallel reaction monitoring (PRM), we validate 16 candidate proteins, of which five were novel candidates (Serpina1, Apoa1, F2, Plg, Hrg) previously unrelated to AKI and associated with an acute response as well as fibrinolysis. The pathway analysis and 16 candidate proteins may help to discover new mechanisms in the pathogenesis of CI-AKI, allowing for early diagnosis and outcome prediction.

Synthesis of 19-hydroxyprogesterone and insights into the ring-opening mechanism of the 6,19-epoxy bridge.

An efficient and scalable process for the synthesis of 19-hydroxyprogesterone was obtained through seven steps with 34.5% total yield, which is much higher than the process reported in the literature (11.0% total yield). The plausible ring-opening mechanism of 6,19-epoxy bridge in compound 7 was first proposed and the structures of intermediates were supported by the LC-MS analysis of the reaction mixture.

Elevation of Arginase-II in Podocytes Contributes to Age-Associated Albuminuria in Male Mice.

One of the manifestations of renal aging is podocyte dysfunction and loss, which are associated with proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis. Studies show a male bias in glomerular dysfunction and chronic kidney diseases, and the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. Recent studies demonstrate the role of an age-associated increase in arginase-II (Arg-II) in proximal tubules of both male and female mice. However, it is unclear whether Arg-II is also involved in aging glomeruli. The current study investigates the role of the sex-specific elevation of Arg-II in podocytes in age-associated increased albuminuria. Young (3-4 months) and old (20-22 months) male and female mice of wt and arginase-II knockout (arg-ii-/-) were used. Albuminuria was employed as a readout of glomerular function. Cellular localization and expression of Arg-II in glomeruli were analyzed using an immunofluorescence confocal microscope. A more pronounced age-associated increase in albuminuria was found in male than in female mice. An age-associated induction of Arg-II in glomeruli and podocytes (as demonstrated by co-localization of Arg-II with the podocyte marker synaptopodin) was also observed in males but not in females. Ablation of the arg-ii gene in mice significantly reduces age-associated albuminuria in males. Also, age-associated decreases in podocyte density and glomerulus hypertrophy are significantly prevented in male arg-ii-/- but not in female mice. However, age-associated glomerulosclerosis is not affected by arg-ii ablation in both sexes. These results demonstrate a role of Arg-II in sex-specific podocyte injury in aging. They may explain the sex-specific differences in the development of renal disease in humans during aging.

Paracrine Effects of Renal Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells on Podocyte Injury under Hypoxic Conditions Are Mediated by Arginase-II and TGF-ß1.

Hypoxia is an important risk for renal disease. The mitochondrial enzyme arginase-II (Arg-II) is expressed and/or induced by hypoxia in proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) and in podocytes, leading to cellular damage. Because PTECs are vulnerable to hypoxia and located in proximity to podocytes, we examined the role of Arg-II in the crosstalk of PTECs under hypoxic conditions with podocytes. A human PTEC cell line (HK2) and a human podocyte cell line (AB8/13) were cultured. Arg-ii gene was ablated by CRISPR/Case9 in both cell types. HK2 cells were exposed to normoxia (21% O2) or hypoxia (1% O2) for 48 h. Conditioned medium (CM) was collected and transferred to the podocytes. Podocyte injuries were then analyzed. Hypoxic (not normoxic) HK2-CM caused cytoskeletal derangement, cell apoptosis, and increased Arg-II levels in differentiated podocytes. These effects were absent when arg-ii in HK2 was ablated. The detrimental effects of the hypoxic HK2-CM were prevented by TGF-ß1 type-I receptor blocker SB431542. Indeed, TGF-ß1 levels in hypoxic HK2-CM (but not arg-ii-/--HK2-CM) were increased. Furthermore, the detrimental effects of TGF-ß1 on podocytes were prevented in arg-ii-/--podocytes. This study demonstrates crosstalk between PTECs and podocytes through the Arg-II-TGF-ß1 cascade, which may contribute to hypoxia-induced podocyte damage.

Switchable and Strain-Releasable Mg-Ion Diffusion Nanohighway Enables High-Capacity and Long-Life Pyrovanadate Cathode.

Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) suffer from low capacity and poor cyclability of cathode materials, which is due to the sluggish Mg2+ diffusion kinetics and large lattice strain. Here, a layer-interweaving mechanism in lamellar cathode to simultaneously facilitate Mg2+ diffusion and release Mg2+ -insertion strain is reported. In the Cu3 V2 O7 (OH)2 ·2H2 O (CVOH) cathode, Mg2+ diffusion highways are generated by the vertical interweaving of CVOH layers and V6 O13 layers that nucleate in CVOH during discharging, which are switchable by Mg2+ insertion/extraction. These highways enhance the Mg2+ diffusion coefficient by three orders of magnitude and release 50% Mg2+ -insertion strain. This enables CVOH to exhibit a high capacity of 262 mAh g-1 at high current density of 250 mA g-1 in aqua, and extremely low capacity loss of 0.0004% per cycle in the activated carbon//CVOH cell. This work inspires designing the magnesiation phase transformation of electrodes to resolve both kinetic and strain issues for high-performance RMBs.

A group of CLE peptides regulates de novo shoot regeneration in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Known for their regulatory roles in stem cell homeostasis, CLAVATA3/ESR-RELATED (CLE) peptides also function as mediators of external stimuli such as hormones. De novo shoot regeneration, representing the remarkable plant cellular plasticity, involves reconstitution of stem cells under control of stem-cell regulators. Yet whether and how stem cell-regulating CLE peptides are implicated in plant regeneration remains unknown. By CRISPR/Cas9-induced loss-of-function studies, peptide application, precursor overexpression, and expression analyses, the role of CLE1-CLE7 peptides and their receptors in de novo shoot regeneration was studied in Arabidopsis thaliana. CLE1-CLE7 are induced by callus-induction medium and dynamically expressed in pluripotent callus. Exogenously-applied CLE1-CLE7 peptides or precursor overexpression effectively leads to shoot regeneration suppression, whereas their simultaneous mutation results in enhanced regenerative capacity, demonstrating that CLE1-CLE7 peptides redundantly function as negative regulators of de novo shoot regeneration. CLE1-CLE7-mediated shoot regeneration suppression is impaired in loss-of-function mutants of callus-expressed CLAVATA1 (CLV1) and BARELY ANY MERISTEM1 (BAM1) genes, indicating that CLV1/BAM1 are required for CLE1-CLE7-mediated shoot regeneration signaling. CLE1-CLE7 signaling resulted in transcriptional repression of WUSCHEL (WUS), a stem cell-promoting transcription factor known as a principal regulator of plant regeneration. Our results indicate that functionally-redundant CLE1-CLE7 peptides genetically act through CLV1/BAM1 receptors and repress WUS expression to modulate shoot-regeneration capacity, establishing the mechanistic basis for CLE1-CLE7-mediated shoot regeneration and a novel role for CLE peptides in hormone-dependent developmental plasticity.

Quantitative Chemoproteomic Profiling of Targets of Au(I) Complexes by Competitive Activity-Based Protein Profiling.

Owing to the encouraging pharmacological action and acceptable toxicity profile, Au(I) complexes have attracted growing interest in the application of disease treatment. In order to investigate their potential target proteins and related bioinformation, herein, we screened four Au(I) complexes and explored the binding proteins utilizing a competitive activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) strategy, including identification experiments and reactivity classification experiments, which offers a simple and robust method to identify the target proteins of Au(I) complexes. We quantified the target proteins of the four Au(I) complexes and found that most of proteins were associated with cancer. In addition, the newly Au(I)-binding proteins and biological gold-protein interaction pathways were exhibited. Furthermore, we estimated the correlation between target proteins of Au(I) complexes and various cancers, which will promote the development of the gold anticancer drugs.

Mechanistic insights into the amelioration effects of lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury by baicalein: An integrated systems pharmacology study and experimental validation.

BACKGROUND: Acute lung injury is an acute progressive respiratory failure caused by several of non-cardiogenic factors which involves in excessive amplification or uncontrolled inflammatory response. OBJECTIVES: In this study, we investigated the protective effect of baicalein against acute lung injury induced by LPS and explored the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: Forty-eight SPF male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, dexamethasone group and baicalein low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups. After 5 days of adaptive feeding, the mice were intraperitoneally injected with LPS and dissected after 12 h. Hematoxylin-eosin staining, ELISA assay, immunofluorescence assay and Western-Blot were applied to appraise microstructural changes and protein expressions of lung tissues. Systems pharmacology study was used to evaluate the protection of baicalein on acute lung injury. FINDINGS: The results showed that baicalein administration could significantly inhibit LPS-induced lung morphological changes, inhibit inflammatory response and pyroptosis. A total of forty-three potential targets of baicalein and acute lung injury were obtained. And PI3K-Akt, TNF and NF-κB were mainly signaling pathways. It is worth mentioning that this experiment also confirmed that NLRP3, caspase-1 and other inflammasome are involved in pyroptosis. CONCLUSION: Baicalein has protected against LPS-induced lung tissues injury via inhibiting inflammatory response and pyroptosis.

Different phenotypes of neurological diseases, including alternating hemiplegia of childhood and rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism, caused by de novo ATP1A3 mutation in a family.

BACKGROUND: The spectrum of neurological diseases related to ATP1A3 gene mutations is highly heterogeneous and exhibits different phenotypes. Phenotype overlaps, including alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC), early infantile epileptic encephalopathy, and rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism (RDP), can also occur at extremely low incidences. Currently, over 90 types of pathogenic mutations have been identified in ATP1A3. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The family of a 2-year-11-month-old proband with AHC was recruited for this clinical investigation. The proband was screened for candidate mutation gene sites using next-generation sequencing and target-region capture technology. Sanger sequencing was used to identify carriers among family members. RESULTS: The mother of the proband with AHC was diagnosed with dystonia (later diagnosed as RDP). The biochemical and immune indices of the proband and the mother were not abnormal. Moreover, brain imaging of the proband revealed no significant abnormalities. However, the electroencephalogram of the mother was mildly abnormal, with no spike wave discharge. Brain MRI revealed slight cerebellar atrophy. Electromyography revealed neurogenic damage, with a decrease in the conduction velocity of the left ulnar and radial nerves. Based on the sequencing data, both the proband and her mother carried c.823G > C p. (Ala275Pro) heterozygotes; other family members were not identified as carriers. With a PolyPhen-2 score of 0.997 and SIFT score of 0.001, this mutation can be considered damaging. CONCLUSION: Family genotype-phenotype correlation analysis revealed that the phenotype and gene mutation were co-segregated, suggesting that it may be a pathogenic mutation.

Anti-BCMA immunotoxins produce durable complete remissions in two mouse myeloma models.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a B cell malignancy for which new treatments are urgently needed. The B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a lineage-restricted differentiation protein highly expressed on myeloma. Recombinant immunotoxins (RITs) are proteins composed of the Fv or Fab portion of an antibody fused to a bacterial toxin. We previously treated H929 myeloma s.c. tumors with anti-BCMA immunotoxins, very active on killing cultured cells, and observed tumor growth inhibition but not complete tumor responses. To determine if immunotoxins were more active against cells growing in the bone marrow (BM), the normal location of myeloma cells, we developed a BM mouse model that is more relevant to human disease. H929 cells were transfected with luciferase and GFP, enriched by flow, recycled through the BM of a mouse, and injected IV into nonobese diabetic scid γ mice (NSG) mice. A second myeloma mouse model used the MM.1S-GFP-luc cell line. Mice were treated IV with immunotoxins, and the tumor burden was assessed using bioluminescence imaging. We achieved complete durable remissions when treating mice with H929-GFP-luc cells with anti-BCMA RITs both leptomycin B-75 (LMB-75) [anti-BCMA-disulfide-stabilized (ds)-Fv-PE24] (where PE represents Pseudomonas exotoxin A) or LMB-70 (anti-BCMA-Fab-PE24) given every other day for 5-d (QOD×5) doses beginning on day 4 or day 8. Mice were disease free at 3 months; untreated mice became moribund around day 40. We also achieved long-term responses using the MM.1S-GFP-luc myeloma cell line. Treatment with an 1.5 mg/kg LMB-75 QOD×5 anti-BCMA RIT beginning on day 4 caused the complete disappearance of tumors for 80 days. To summarize, LMB-75 and LMB-70, our anti-BCMA RITs, induced complete durable responses in two myeloma models.

Rejection of Acellular Porcine Corneal Stroma Transplantation During Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic.

ABSTRACT: To report 2 successfully managed cases of graft rejection with acellular porcine corneal stroma (APCS) transplantation in patients with fungal corneal ulcer. Two patients were diagnosed with fungal corneal ulcer and received APCS transplantation. Graft rejection developed due to the lost follow-up during the period of coronavirus disease 2019 outbreak. Amniotic membranes transplantation and cauterization of neovascularization was performed, respectively. The graft failure resolved successfully after the procedure. To the best of our knowledge, amniotic membranes transplantation and cauterization of new vessels are the firstly reported in treating APCS graft failure. Amniotic membranes transplantation or cauterization of neovascularization appear to be a safe and costeffective method for treating graft failure.

[Effect of origin, tree age, and harvesting time on content of flavonoids and terpene lactones in Ginkgo Folium].

The content of total flavonol glycosides in Ginkgo Folium in the planting bases was determined by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).The samples were extracted by reflux with methanol-25% hydrochloric acid.The HPLC conditions were as follows: Agilent ZORBAX SB-C_(18) column(4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 µm), isocratic elution with mobile phase of 0.4% phosphoric acid solution-methanol(45∶55), flow rate of 1 mL·min~(-1), column temperature of 30 ℃, detection wavelength of 360 nm, and injection vo-lume of 10 µL.A method for the determination of terpene lactones in Ginkgo Folium was established based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatograph-triple-quadrupole/linear ion-trap tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-QTRAP-MS/MS).The UPLC conditions were as below: gradient elution with acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid, flow rate of 0.2 mL·min~(-1), column temperature of 30 ℃, sample chamber temperature of 10 ℃, and injection volume of 10 µL.The ESI~+and multiple reaction monitoring(MRM) were adopted for the MS.The above methods were used to determine the content of total flavonol glycosides and terpene lactones in 99 batches of Ginkgo Folium from 6 planting bases, and the results were statistically analyzed.The content of flavonoids and terpene lactones in Ginkgo Folium from different origins, from trees of different ages, harvested at different time, from trees of different genders, and processed with different methods was compared.The results showed that the content of total flavonol glucosides in 99 Ginkgo Folium samples ranged from 0.38% to 2.08%, and the total content of the four terpene lactones was in the range of 0.03%-0.87%.The method established in this study is simple and reliable, which can be used for the quantitative analysis of Ginkgo Folium.The research results lay a basis for the quality control of Ginkgo Folium.

CLE peptides: critical regulators for stem cell maintenance in plants.

MAIN CONCLUSION: Plant CLE peptides, which regulate stem cell maintenance in shoot and root meristems and in vascular bundles through LRR family receptor kinases, are novel, complex, and to some extent conserved. Over the past two decades, peptide ligands of the CLAVATA3 (CLV3) /Embryo Surrounding Region (CLE) family have been recognized as critical short- and long-distance communication signals in plants, especially for stem cell homeostasis, cell fate determination and physiological responses. Stem cells located at the shoot apical meristem (SAM), the root apical meristem (RAM) and the procambium divide and differentiate into specialized cells that form a variety of tissues such as epidermis, ground tissues, xylem and phloem. In the SAM of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the CLV3 peptide restricts the number of stem cells via leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-type receptor kinases. In the RAM, root-active CLE peptides are critical negative regulators, while ROOT GROWTH FACTOR (RGF) peptides are positive regulators in stem cell maintenance. Among those root-active CLE peptides, CLE25 promotes, while CLE45 inhibits phloem differentiation. In vascular bundles, TRACHEARY ELEMENT DIFFERENTIATION INHIBITORY FACTOR (TDIF)/CLE41/CLE44 promotes procambium cell division, and prevents xylem differentiation. Orthologs of CLV3 have been identified in liverwort (Marchantia polymorpha), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), rice (Oryza sativa), maize (Zea mays) and lotus (Lotus japonicas), suggesting that CLV3 is an evolutionarily conserved signal in stem cell maintenance. However, functional characterization of endogenous CLE peptides and corresponding receptor kinases, and the downstream signal transduction has been challenging due to their genome-wide redundancies and rapid evolution.

Long Intergenic Nonprotein Coding RNA 0152 Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression by Regulating Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase/Akt/Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Signaling Pathway through miR-139/PIK3CA.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ranks as the fifth most common cancer worldwide, and it is the primary histologic subtype of liver cancer, with high incidence and poor prognosis. Recently, numerous long noncoding RNAs have been reported to be associated with the tumorigenesis of HCC; however, the underlying mechanisms of long intergenic nonprotein coding RNA 0152 (LINC00152) action in HCC are poorly understood. Herein, we identified a significant up-regulation of LINC00152 in both HCC tissues and cell lines. Functional studies showed that knockdown of LINC00152 inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, but promoted cell apoptosis, indicating its oncogenic functions in HCC tumorigenesis. Mechanistically, LINC00152 functioned as an efficient miR-139 sponge, thereby releasing the suppression of PIK3CA (a target gene of miR-139). Anti-miR-139 rescued the inhibition of cell proliferation, migration, and invasion induced by LINC00152 knockdown. Similarly, PIK3CA-overexpressing plasmid also reversed miR-139-mediated biological functions in HCC cells. Taken together, our study revealed a crucial regulatory network of LINC00152/miR-139/PIK3CA axis in the tumorigenesis of HCC, implying that LINC00152 may be a biomarker and novel therapeutic target for further clinical therapy of HCC.

Tolerogenic nanoparticles restore the antitumor activity of recombinant immunotoxins by mitigating immunogenicity.

Protein-based drugs are very active in treating cancer, but their efficacy can be limited by the formation of neutralizing antidrug antibodies (ADAs). Recombinant immunotoxins are proteins that are very effective in patients with leukemia, where immunity is suppressed, but induce ADAs, which compromise their activity, in patients with intact immunity. Here we induced a specific, durable, and transferable immune tolerance to recombinant immunotoxins by combining them with nanoparticles containing rapamycin (SVP-R). SVP-R mitigated the formation of inhibitory ADAs in naïve and sensitized mice, resulting in restoration of antitumor activity. The immune tolerance is mediated by colocalization of the SVP-R and immunotoxin to dendritic cells and macrophages in the spleen and is abrogated by depletion of regulatory T cells. Tolerance induced by SVPs was not blocked by checkpoint inhibitors or costimulatory agonist monoclonal antibodies that by themselves enhance ADA formation.
