Objective:Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell(CAR-T)immunotherapy has made major breakthroughs in the treatment of blood tu-mors.However,current CAR-T therapies face several limitations:they require autologous cells,involve a lengthy and costly production pro-cess,and use lentiviral transduction that carry risk of insertional carcinogenesis due to random integration.Therefore,there is an urgent need to develop a universal cost-effective cancer immunotherapy method generating CAR-T cells for in vivo cancer immunotherapy.Meth-ods:This study successfully established an exosome-mediated,T-cell targeted delivery system,demonstrating both precise design and func-tional efficacy for biomedical applications.To optimize CAR-T cell generation the transfection dose was adjusted,and the kinetics of CAR-T cell percentage were recorded.The cytotoxicity of the resulting CAR-T cells was evaluated in vitro by calcein-AM release.To test the tumor-killing in vivo of engineered exosomes,human PBMCs were injected into NPG mice via the tail vein to establish humanized mice,followed by intravenous injection of tumor cells to induce cancer.Results:To overcome the limitations of conditional autologous CAR-T cells,we de-veloped a T cell-targeted exosome system capable of specifically targeting human CD3+,CD4+,and CD8+T cells.CAR-T production was dose-dependent,with transfection efficiency reaching upto 97.8%at 106 particles/cell.Both in vitro cytotoxicity assays and in vivo animal experi-ments demonstrated that exosome-incubated CAR-T cells effectively eliminated CD19-positive Raji cells,highlighting their specificity and therapeutic potential in antigen-directed applications.Conclusions:We successfully established a CD8-targeting exosome delivery system for CAR-T cell production capable of transforming CD8+T cells into functional CAR-T cells,which showed significant tumor-killing ability in vitro and in mice.Compared with the traditional lentiviral vector for the preparation of CAR-T cells in vitro,in vivo-reprogrammed CAR-T cells us-ing our CD8-targeted exosome delivery system,with higher transfection efficiency,shorter production period,lower cost,and eliminated the risk of insertion carcinogenesis.This strategy promises to bring a new era of universal CAR-T medicine,which can improve cancer immuno-therapy and may hold promise as a therapeutic platform to treat various diseases.

AIM:Xiongshi Shiwei Wendan decoc-tion(SWD)comes from Xiong Jibai,a master of tra-ditional Chinese medicine,and has been widely used in the treatment of AS.ABCA1 is an important pathway for macrophages to export cholesterol and plays a protective role in the occurrence and development of AS.The purpose of this study was to study the effects of SWD on ABCA1 expression and cholesterol efflux through network pharmacol-ogy,molecular docking and in vitro experiments,and explore the pathway mechanism of promoting reverse cholesterol transport(RCT).METHODS:The active components of SWD drugs were screened by TCMSP and HERB databases,RCT targets were pre-dicted,the component-target network map was constructed,the PPI network was constructed and the GO and KEGG pathways were enriched and ana-lyzed by STRING database,and the key active com-ponents of SWD were selected for molecular dock-ing with ABCA1 protein and miR-33 by AutoDockVi-na.In vitro,RAW264.7 was used to establish foam cell model,oil red O staining,NBD-cholesterol staining and lentivirus overexpression cell miRNA-33 were used to study the effect of SWD on lipid accumulation and cholesterol outflow rate of RAW264.7 cells.Western blotting was used to de-tect the expression of ABCA1.RESULTS:According to network pharmacology,336 active components of SWD,267 targets of RCT and 46 targets of inter-section of RCT and SWD were obtained,which in-volved multiple signal pathways such as lipid and atherosclerosis.Molecular docking showed that the main active components had stable conforma-tion with ABCA1 and miR-33.In vitro experiment,it was found that the lipid content was significantly decreased(P＜0.01),the cholesterol outflow rate was significantly increased(P＜0.01)and the expres-sion of ABCA1 protein was up-regulated in SWD group(P＜0.01),but the expression of ABCA1 in miR-33 overexpression group was significantly de-creased(P＜0.01).CONCLUSION:SWD has the char-acteristics of multi-components and multi-targets,which can promote RCT and treat AS through miR-NA-33-ABCA1 pathway.

Objective:To explore the family function of childbearing period cervical cancer patients and their caregivers based on the McMaster Family Functioning Theory, providing a reference for developing scientific and effective family support programs.Methods:This qualitative study employed a purposive sampling method to recruit 15 pairs of childbearing period cervical cancer patients and their caregivers from Wuxi Maternity and Child Health Hospital between March and April 2024. Face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted, and data were analyzed using Colaizzi's seven-step method to extract themes.Results:A total of five main themes were identified: role transitions and family structure changes; alterations in family interaction dynamics; evolving caregiving needs and distress; emotional disengagement in disease experiences among family members; family behavioral isolation.Conclusions:The cancer diagnosis posed threats to all six dimensions of family function (role distribution, problem-solving, communication, emotional involvement, emotional responsiveness, and behavioral control). Clinical practitioners should pay close attention to the family functioning of childbearing period cervical cancer patients and develop patient- and caregiver-centered family function intervention programs to help them better cope with the disease and improve clinical outcomes.

BACKGROUND:It has been found that vascular endothelial growth factor 165 and bone morphogenetic proteins interact with each other during hypoxia-reoxygenation and are involved in the repair process of osteoblast injury by regulating the activation of intracellular signaling pathways. OBJECTIVE:To further investigate the relationship between vascular endothelial growth factor 165/bone morphogenetic protein and hypoxic-reoxygenated osteoblast injury. METHODS:Osteoblasts were selected and the hypoxic-reoxygenated injury model was established.Vascular endothelial growth factor 165 and bone morphogenetic protein expressions at mRNA and protein levels were detected by real-time PCR and western blot before and after modeling.After modeling,osteoblasts were given different concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor 165 and bone morphogenetic protein 2(10,20,40 ng/mL).Cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit-8 method and apoptosis was detected by DAPI at 12,24,36,48,and 72 hours after treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with before modeling,the mRNA and protein expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor 165 and bone morphogenetic protein 2 in osteoblasts after modeling were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The proliferation rate of osteoblasts was significantly increased with the increase of vascular endothelial growth factor 165 concentration(P＜0.05),while the apoptosis rate of osteoblasts decreased significantly with the increase of vascular endothelial growth factor 165 concentration(P＜0.05).The proliferation rate of osteoblast was significantly increased with the increase of bone morphogenetic protein 2 concentration(P＜0.05),while the apoptosis rate of osteoblast decreased significantly with the increase of bone morphogenetic protein 2 concentration(P＜0.05).To conclude,vascular endothelial growth factor 165 and bone morphogenetic protein are lowly expressed in hypoxic-reoxygenated osteoblast injury,and treatment with vascular endothelial growth factor 165 and bone morphogenetic protein can reduce the injury of hypoxic-reoxygenated osteoblast in a concentration-dependent manner,suggesting that vascular endothelial growth factor 165 and bone morphogenetic protein have a significant protective effect against the injury of hypoxic-reoxygenated osteoblasts.
