Long non-coding RNA Malat1 modulates CXCR4 expression to regulate the interaction between induced neural stem cells and microglia following closed head injury by Qin Dong, Pengyu Chen, Wenqiao Qiu, Zhijun Yang, Yanteng Li, Yuhui Zhou, Lili Guo, Dan Zou, Ruxiang Xu, Mou Gao

“…Results Our results indicated that Malat1 could act as a sponge of miR-139-5p to modulate the expression of CXCR4 that exerted significant influence on the immunoregulatory effects of iNSCs on the secretion of CXCL12, TNF-α and IGF-1 by activated microglia. …”

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

“…In animal models, mice carrying Hep3B xenograft tumors expressing sGPC3 exhibited a worse response to the treatment with CAR-T cells under both a low and high tumor burden. sGPC3 bound to CAR-T cells but failed to induce the effective activation of CAR-T cells. 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.…”

The palmitoyl-CoA ligase Fum16 is part of a Fusarium verticillioides fumonisin subcluster involved in self-protection by Fabio Gherlone, Katarina Jojić, Ying Huang, Sandra Hoefgen, Vito Valiante, Slavica Janevska

“…FUM16 (palmitoyl-CoA ligase), FUM17, and FUM18 (ceramide synthases) enzymatically supplement ceramide biosynthesis, while FUM19 (ATP-binding cassette transporter) acts as a repressor of the FUM cluster. The evolutionary conservation of FUM15 (P450 monooxygenase) in Fusarium and Aspergillus FUM clusters is discussed, and its effect on extracellular FB1 levels in both native (F. verticillioides) and heterologous (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) hosts is highlighted. …”
