Tumor treatment remains a significant medical challenge, with many traditional therapies causing notable side effects. Recent research has led to the development of immunotherapy, which offers numerous advantages. Bacteria inherently possess motility, allowing them to preferentially colonize tumors and modulate the tumor immune microenvironment, thus influencing the efficacy of immunotherapy. Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) secreted by gram-negative bacteria are nanoscale lipid bilayer structures rich in bacterial antigens, pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), various proteins, and vesicle structures. These features allow OMVs to stimulate immune system activation, generate immune responses, and serve as efficient drug delivery vehicles. This dual capability enhances the effectiveness of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy or phototherapy, thereby improving anticancer drug efficacy. Current research has concentrated on engineering OMVs to enhance production yield, minimize cytotoxicity, and improve the safety and efficacy of treatments. Consequently, OMVs hold great promise for applications in tumor immunotherapy, tumor vaccine development, and drug delivery. This article provides an overview of the structural composition and immune mechanisms of OMVs, details various OMVs modification strategies, and reviews the progress in using OMVs for tumor treatment and their anti-tumor mechanisms. Additionally, it discusses the challenges faced in translating OMV-based anti-tumor therapies into clinical practice, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of OMVs' potential for in-depth research and clinical application.

Objective: To investigate whether long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FOXD2-AS1 targets miR-506-5p to regulate proliferation and apoptosis of cervical cancer cells. Methods: Human normal cervical cells Ect1/E6E7 and cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa, Siha and Caski) were cultured in vitro, and the expression levels of FOXD2-AS1 and miR-506-5p in cells were detected by qPCR. The cervical cancer cells with FOXD2-AS1 knockdown and miR-506-5p over-expression were constructed by liposome transfection technology, and the proliferation and apoptosis of cells were detected by MTT assay and flow cytometry respectively, the expression of proliferation-related proteins CyclinD1, p21, p27 and apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2, BAX, cleaved-capase-3 were detected by WB. Dual luciferase reporter assay was used to verify whether FOXD2-AS1 would target miR-506-5p; and the effects of simultaneous inhibition of FOXD2-AS1 and miR-506-5p on proliferation and apoptosis of cervical cancer cells were also analyzed. Results: Compared with Ect1/E6E7 cells, the expression of FOXD2-AS1 significantly increased while the expression of miR-506-5p significantly decreased in cervical cancer HeLa, Siha and Caski cells (all P<0.01). FOXD2-AS1 knockdown significantly inhibited the protein expressions of CyclinD1, Bcl-2 and cell proliferationin cervical cancer cells, but promoted the protein expressions of p21, p27, BAX, cleavedcapase-3, and cell apoptosis (all P<0.01). miR-506-5p over-expression significantly inhibited the protein expressions of CyclinD1, Bcl2 and cell proliferation in cervical cancer cells, but promoted the protein expressions of p21, BAX, and cell apoptosis (all P<0.01). Dual luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that FOXD2-AS1 negatively regulated the expression of miR-506-5p in cervical cancer cells (P<0.01). Inhibition of miR-506-5p expression reversed the effect of FOXD2-AS1 knockdown on proliferation and apoptosis of cervical cancer cell (P<0.01). Conclusion: FOXD2-AS1 modulates proliferation and apoptosis of cervical cancer cells by negatively regulating the expression of miR-506-5p.

Objective To establish a model for studying CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte proliferation in vitro and to screen traditional Chinese drugs (TCDs) with immunosuppressive effects.Methods Spleen tissue was isolated from mice,and made into single cell suspensions followed by separation of CD8+ T lymphocytes with specific antibodies.Then,the CD8 + T lymphocytes were seeded into anti-CD3/CD28 antibody-coated 96-well plates and cocultured with the extracts of 23 TCDs (100 mg/L) separately for 96 hours.Those ceils cultured with and without the presence of anti-CD3/CD28 antibody alone served as the positive control and negative control respectively.The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium,inner salt (MTS) assay was performed to evaluate the proliferation of cells and to select the top four TCDs with the strongest inhibitory effect.The relationship between the inhibitory effect and TCD concentrations was further assessed for the four selected TCDs.Enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay was carried out to estimate the influence of the four TCDs on the secretion of interferon (IFN)-γ by CD8+ T lymphocytes induced by anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies.Statistical analysis was done by nonparametric rank sum test.Results Of the 23 TCDs,14 significantly inhibited the proliferation of CD8+ T lymphocytes (all P < 0.05),of which,Rhizoma Coptidis,Radix Scutellariae,Radix Aucklandiae and Rhizoma Curcumae Longae displayed the strongest inhibitory capacity with the 50% inhibitory concentration being 25,35,50 and 60 mg/L respectively,and the 100% inhibitory concentration being 200,100,200 and 200 mg/L respectively.The anti-CD3/CD28 antibody-induced secretion of IFN-γby CD8+ T lymphocytes was markedly suppressed by Radix Scutellariae,Radix Aucklandiae and Rhizoma Curcumae Longae at the concentration of 100 mg/L,but not by Rhizoma Coptidis at this concentration.Conclusions A model for studying the proliferation of CD8+ T lymphocytes is successfully developed in vitro,and four TCDs with strong inhibitory effects on the proliferation of CD8+ T lymphocytes have been screened out with this model.

Aim To study the effect of halometasone in combination with scutellaria baicalensis georgi on the vitiligo mice induced by monobenzone. Methods 40% monobenzone cream was applied to induce vitiligo in C57BL/6 mice. Through the halometasone, halo-metasone and scutellaria baicalensis georgi combined with 40% monobenzone cream, the influence of halo-metasone and scutellaria baicalensis georgi on mice de-colorizing was studied. Hair decolorizing was observed with the naked eye, the skin decolorizing was observed by reflectance confocal microscopy ( RCM ) , and CD8 +T cell infiltration was tested with immunofluores-cence detection. The serum levels of interleukin-6(IL-6 ) and tumor necrosis factor-α( TNF-α) were deter-mined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) . Results Mice in model group showed de-pigmentation at both the monobenzone application part and non-application part. The halometasone group did not show significant therapeutic efficacy. In halometa-sone and scutellaria baicalensis georgi treatment group, there was less decolorization, the occurrence ratio, the scores of occurring time and size were lower compared with model group. There were fewer infiltrated lympho-cytes and CD8 +T cells. Halometasone and scutellaria baicalensis georgi group also showed that the serum levels of IL-6,TNF-α decreased. Conclusion Halo-metasone and scutellaria baicalensis georgi have thera-peutic effect on vitiligo mice induced by monobenzone.
