Exosomal miR-141-3p from PDLSCs Alleviates High Glucose-Induced Senescence of PDLSCs by Activating the KEAP1-NRF2 Signaling Pathway by Min Liu, Rui Chen, Yunxuan Xu, Jiawen Zheng, Min Wang, Ping Wang

“…Our findings suggest that PDLSC-Exos alleviate high glucose-induced senescence of PDLSCs by transferring miR-141-3p to activate the KEAP1-NRF2 signaling pathway. Based on this research, PDLSC-Exos may behave similarly to their parental PDLSCs and have significant effects on cellular senescence by delivering their encapsulated bioactive chemicals to target cells.…”

Electrochemotherapy with bleomycin, oxaliplatin, or cisplatin in mouse tumor models, from tumor ablation to in situ vaccination by Katja Uršič Valentinuzzi, Katja Uršič Valentinuzzi, Urška Kamenšek, Urška Kamenšek, Simona Kranjc Brezar, Chloe Heranney, Chloe Heranney, Tilen Komel, Tilen Komel, Simon Buček, Simon Buček, Maja Čemažar, Maja Čemažar, Gregor Serša, Gregor Serša

“…Variances in the antitumor (immune) response were also detected based on the chemotherapeutic drug used in ECT. Collectively, ECT demonstrated effectiveness in inducing in situ vaccination in both tumor models; however, an abscopal effect was observed in the 4T1 tumor model only.ConclusionsThis is the first preclinical study systematically comparing the immune involvement in intratumoral ECT’s efficiency using three distinct chemotherapeutic drugs in mouse tumor models. …”
