Shed antigen-induced blocking effect on CAR-T cells targeting Glypican-3 in Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Wei Gao, Tong Ding, Beicheng Sun, Nan Li, Fang Gao, Meng Jia, Mitchell Ho, Na Li, Luan Sun, Zhanhui Gao, Lei Ao, Sujuan Ma, Peihua Lu, Shaochang Jia

“…Therefore, sGPC3 acted as dominant negative regulators when competed with cell surface GPC3 to bind anti-GPC3 CAR-T cells, leading to an inhibitory effect on CAR-T cells in HCC.Conclusions We provide a proof-of-concept study demonstrating that GPC3 shedding might cause worse response to CAR-T cell treatment by competing with cell surface GPC3 for CAR-T cell binding, which revealed a new mechanism of tumor immune escape in HCC, providing a novel biomarker for patient enrolment in future clinical trials and/or treatments with GPC3-targeted CAR-T cells.…”

Haploinsufficiency of PDE2A causes in mice increased exploratory behavior associated with upregulation of neural nitric oxide synthase in the striatum by Ana Gabriela de Oliveira do Rêgo, Francesca D'Amico, Vincenza D’Angelo, Silvia Cardarelli, Debora Cutuli, Davide Decandia, Eugenia Landolfo, Laura Petrosini, Manuela Pellegrini, Marcello D’Amelio, Nicola Biagio Mercuri, Mauro Giorgi, Giuseppe Sancesario

“…Interestingly, in HET mice the expression level of brain nNOS, measured by western blot and immune-histochemistry was significantly increased, particularly in interneurons from the striatum.In conclusion, the deficiency of PDE2A could be compensated in the striatum by upregulating nNOS/NO/cGMP pathway, which in turn likely upregulates PDE2A-dependent cAMP hydrolysis. …”
