Tumor metastasis is the main cause of death in clinical patients. The proposal of the pre-metastatic microenvironment hypothesis offers a new research direction for tumor metastasis. Targeting and inhibiting the activation of the stimulator of interferon genes(STING) signals by tumor cell-derived microparticles may help reduce tumor metastasis. This study constructed a pre-metastatic microenvironment and pulmonary metastasis model using recombinant adeno-associated virus vector-mediated short hairpin RNA interference of STING(rAAV STING shRNA) to investigate the effects of STING interference on the pre-metastatic microenvironment and the impact of total Epimedium flavonoids(EFs) as an intervention. Drug-containing microparticles were prepared by incubating mouse Lewis lung cancer(LLC) cells with the total EFs(EFs-LLC-MPs), and EFs-LLC-MPs were characterized by measuring the average particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and release profile. Western blot was used to examine changes in pre-metastatic microenvironment markers in mouse alveolar epithelial cells(MLE-12) after treatment with microparticles or total EFs. Drug loading capacity and the uptake of microparticles by MLE-12 and mouse alveolar macrophages(MH-S) cells were determined using HPLC and flow cytometry. The uptake experiments showed that after nasal administration of rAAV STING shRNA, STING expression was significantly inhibited, and the markers of the pre-metastatic microenvironment were markedly reduced. Micro-CT results indicated a reduction in lung metastases and nodules, and the anti-metastatic effect of total EFs was affected. The results showed that the microparticles were membrane vesicles with a particle size of(373.17±3.18)nm, a Zeta potential of(-35.40±1.08)mV, a protein concentration of 562.62 μg·mL~(-1), and a drug loading of 0.060 9 μg per microgram of protein. These microparticles were effectively taken up by MLE-12 and MH-S cells. Treatment of MLE-12 and MH-S cells with EFs-LLC-MPs reduced the expression of pre-metastatic microenvironment markers such as fibronectin and lysyl oxidase(LOX). Based on these findings, it was confirmed that STING was involved in the regulation of the formation of the pre-metastatic microenvironment in the lungs. Furthermore, total EFs microparticles were successfully prepared, showing potential to intervene in the inflammatory pre-metastatic microenvironment, which could be promising for controlling tumor metastasis.

The purpose of this study was to identify the tick species native to Xindi Township,Yumin County,Xinjiang,China.Preliminary morphological identification of parasitic ticks collected from animals in the area was conducted with an ultra-depth of field three-dimensional VHX 600 digital stereo microscope.Total DNA of the ticks was extracted,amplified by PCR based on the COI and ITS2 gene loci,and the posi-tive PCR products were sequenced.The sequence were a-ligned with reference sequences from the NCBI database were aligned with the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool.A genet-ic phylogenetic tree was generated with the neighbor-joining method of MEGA 7.0 software to determine the evolutionary biological characteristics of ticks.Morphological identification showed that the ticks collected from Xindi Township of Yu-min County were consistent with the characteristics of Hya-lomma asiaticum.An evolutionary tree based on the COI and ITS2 gene sequences showed that the ticks collected in this study were clustered with known H.asiaticum sequences.The PCR products of COI and ITS2 were sequenced and compared,which confirmed that the collected tick species were H.asiaticum,in agreement with the morphological and molecular biological results.These findings help to clarify the distribution of ticks in Xindi Township of Xinjiang,and provide basic data for the analysis of tick genetic and evolutionary characteristics,as reference for surveillance and control of ticks in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatases/phosphodiesterases(ENPPs)are involved in the hydrolysis of different purine nu-cleotides in a range of physiological processes.In recent years,it has also been found to be involved in tumor progression,with ENPP1 often overexpressed in local recurrence and tumor metas-tasis,which is associated with poor prognosis and survival in a range of solid tumors.The role of ENPP1 in tumors is mainly fo-cused on tumor proliferation,metastasis,immunity,recurrence,etc.,and it is speculated that ENPP1 can be used as a prognos-tic indicator for a variety of tumors.ENPP1 promotes the immu-nosuppressive tumor microenvironment by being obliquely in-volved in the regulation of ATP/adenosine homeostasis by com-bining with other components,which crosses with interferon gene stimulators to impair its potent immune response through the hy-drolysis of the effector 2',3'-cyclic GMP-AMP.Therefore,EN-PP1 blockade has become an effective means to induce immune remodeling and inhibit tumorigenesis and development.The ex-isting ENPP1 inhibitors mainly include natural small molecule compounds,nucleotide ENPP1 inhibitors,non-nucleotide EN-PP1 inhibitors,and novel small molecule ENPP1 inhibitors.So far,a small number of ENPP1 inhibitors have been developed and are rarely suitable for in vivo experiments,and they are still in the stage of developing effective compounds or lead com-pounds,and the research on ENPP1 inhibitors needs to be fur-ther studied.This review summarizes and discusses the role of ENPP1 in tumors,and summarizes the current research progress of various ENPP1 agents and their current research progress,in order to provide a reference for further research on the prepara-tion of drug candidates.
