ObjectiveTo construct a chimeric antigen receptor macrophage (CAR-M) targeting interleukin-13 receptor α (IL-13Rα) and intracellular domain integration, which can double activate the signal adaptor protein OX40L of macrophages and T cells. MethodsThe CAR molecule targeting IL-13Rα (IL-13Rα-OX40L-CAR) with OX40L as the intracellular signal domain was designed and synthesized, and it was cloned into the adenovirus expression vector. After THP-1 cells were induced to differentiate into macrophages (THP-1-M) by phorbol ester, the cells were infected with recombinant adenovirus to construct THP-1 macrophages stably expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) labeled anti-IL-13RαCAR. The expression efficiency of CAR molecules was monitored by flow cytometry. The empty vector group was used as the negative control, the CD3ζ group was used as the positive control, and the CD3ζ-OX40L group was used as the experimental group. The phagocytic function of macrophages in each group on IL-13Rα high expression glioma cells (U251) and low expression glioma cells (T98G) was detected by in vitro co-culture experiments. ResultsCAR adenovirus was efficiently transfected into THP-1-M to obtain anti-IL-13RαCAR-M. After co-cultured with glioma cells with different expression levels of IL-13Rα, the results of flow cytometry showed that there was no significant difference among the three groups for T98G cells with low expression of IL-13Rα. After co-culture with U251 cells with high expression of IL-13Rα, the CD3ζ group showed enhanced phagocytosis compared with the empty vector group (P<0.05). Compared with the CD3ζ group, the phagocytosis ability of the CD3ζ-OX40L group was further enhanced (P<0.05). ConclusionAnti-IL13Rα- OX40L-CAR-M is successfully constructed by constructing IL-13Rα-OX40L-CAR adenovirus and transfecting PMA-induced differentiated THP-1-M. It can engulf glioma cells with high expression of IL-13Rα by specific targeting, and shows activation of intracellular domain superior to traditional CD3ζ.

ObjectiveTo obtain a construct chimeric antigen receptor macrophages (CAR-M) targeting disialoganglioside GD2 (GD2) and harboring the intracellular domain of macrophage-specific activating signaling adaptor protein DNAX-activating protein 12 (DAP12). MethodsA CAR molecule targeting GD2 with the DAP12 intracellular domain as the signaling module [Anti-GD2 CAR (DAP12)] was designed, synthesized, and cloned into an adenoviral vector. This virus was used to infect PMA-differentiated THP-1 macrophages to construct green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled Anti-GD2 CAR THP-1 cells. CAR expression was confirmed using live-cell imaging. In vitro co-culture assays were performed to evaluate the phagocytic function of empty, Anti-GD2 CAR-M (CD3ζ), and Anti-GD2 CAR-M (DAP12) groups against glioma cells with high (T98G) and low (U251) GD2 expression. ResultsThe CAR adenovirus efficiently transduced THP-1 macrophages, resulting in successful generation of Anti-GD2 CAR-M. Flow cytometry analysis following co-culture with glioma cells showed that compared to the empty group, the Anti-GD2 CAR-M (CD3ζ) group exhibited significantly enhanced phagocytosis (P<0.05). Furthermore, compared to the Anti-GD2 CAR-M (CD3ζ) group, the Anti-GD2 CAR-M (DAP12) group demonstrated a further increase in phagocytic capacity specifically against GD2-high T98G cells (P<0.05). ConclusionAnti-GD2 CAR-M (DAP12) cells are successfully established by transducing PMA-differentiated THP-1-M with recombinant Anti-GD2 CAR (DAP12) adenovirus. The engineered CAR-M can specifically target phagocytose glioma cells with high GD2 expression.

ObjectiveTo obtain stably transfected chimeric antigen receptor macrophages (CAR-M) targeting disialosylganglioside (GD2) based on the constitutive expression of myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MYD88). MethodsAn Anti-GD2 CAR adenoviral vector incorporating the CD3ζ (cluster of differentiation 3 zeta chain)-MYD88 fusion construct was designed and constructed. THP-1-derived macrophages (THP-1M), induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) differentiation, were infected with this adenovirus to generate Anti-GD2 CAR THP-1 cells bearing a green fluorescent protein (GFP) tag. CAR expression was monitored using a live-cell imaging system. The phagocytic function of Empty CAR-M, Anti-GD2 CAR-M(CD3ζ), and Anti-GD2 CAR-M(CD3ζ-MYD88) groups against glioma cells was evaluated in vitro through co-culture experiments, and their polarization status was also analyzed. ResultsCAR adenovirus successfully transfected THP-1 to obtain Anti-GD2 CAR-M. After co-culture with glioma cells, flow cytometry results showed that compared with the Empty CAR-M group and the Anti-GD2 CAR-M(CD3ζ) group, the Anti-GD2 CAR-M(CD3ζ-MYD88) group exhibited enhanced phagocytosis against T98G cells with high GD2 expression (P<0.05) and also showed upregulation of CD86 (P<0.05). Compared with the Empty CAR-M group and the Anti-GD2 CAR-M(CD3ζ) group, the Anti-GD2 CAR-M(CD3ζ-MYD88)CAR-M group exhibited enhanced phagocytosis against T98G cells with high GD2 expression (P<0.05) and also showed upregulation of CD86 (P<0.05), and the expression of inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-12 was increased in this group (P<0.05). ConclusionThis study successfully constructed Anti-GD2 CAR-M cells and verified their phagocytic activity, demonstrating that constitutive expression of MYD88 can promote inflammatory polarization of CAR-M. This provides a potential structural modification approach for the development of pro-inflammatory CAR-M.

Objective:
To construct microRNA(miR)-22 gene knockout(miR-22-/-) mice using CRISPR/Cas 9 technology, to breed miR-22-/- mice and to identify their genotypes.
Methods :
In this experiment, CRISPR/Cas 9 technology was used to construct miR-22-/- genetically engineered mice. After gene identification, the F0 generation miR-22-/- mice were mated with wild-type mice in the same litter to obtain F1 generation miR-22-/- mice. The miR-22 knockout efficiency was analyzed at the RNA level by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR). Western blot was used to detect the interaction between miR-22 and target genes.
Results :
miR-22-/- mice were successfully constructed using CRISPR/Cas 9 technology, gene identification was performed on the bred mice, and three stable genotypes of miR-22+/+,miR-22+/-, and miR-22-/- were identified. The real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR detection results confirmed that miR-22-/- mice showed almost no expression of miR-22 in the heart, liver, lung, kidney, spleen, and thymus tissues compared to wild-type mice in the same litter. Western blot analysis showed that the relative expression level of NLRP3 protein in miR-22-/- mouse tissues was lower than that in wild-type mice.
Conclusion
A miR-22-/- mouse model is successfully constructed, and stable genetic homozygous miR-22-/- mice is obtained. This indicates that miR-22 has an inhibitory effect on the downstream target gene NLRP3.

Lung cancer, the most common malignant tumor, is characterized by a complex pathogenesis and high malignancy, and poses a significant threat to the health and lives of affected individuals. p53 signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the progression of lung cancer and is considered one of the potential targets for targeted therapy. In recent years, multiple studies have indicated that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can exert anticancer effects by modulating the p53 signaling pathway. Based on this, this article systematically summarizes the current status and progress of research on TCM intervening in lung cancer by regulating p53 signaling pathway. It was found that TCM formula and preparations, such as Qingjin desheng tablet, Tiaoqi xiaoji decoction, Bufei tongluo jiedu formula, Jianpi bushen formula and Yiqi fuzheng jiedu formula, can promote autophagy and apoptosis of lung cancer cells, inhibit the growth and metastasis of lung cancer cells and strengthen the immune function of the body by activating p53 signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting lung cancer. TCM monomers, such as pseudoginsenoside-Rh2, saikosaponin D, polyphyllin Ⅶ, dendrobiine, sophoridine, gambogic acid, triptolide and triptolide succinate monoester YJ-4, can accelerate cell apoptosis, inhibit the proliferation of lung cancer cells and regulate cell cycle by activating p53 signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting lung cancer.
