While surface engineering can enhance tissue accumulation, strategies that preserve biocompatibility and enable scalable production remain limited. Here, we introduce boiling as a simple thermal processing approach that structurally reconfigures ginger extracellular vesicles (GEVs) into functionally enhanced, thermally reassembled GEVs (T-GEVs). The surface architecture of T-GEVs is enriched with key vesicle trafficking regulators, including V-type proton adenosine triphosphatase subunit G, ARF1, and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein. This specific composition drives their tissue-specific accumulation in the intestine and liver and potentiates clathrin-dependent cellular uptake in intestinal cells by 8.57-fold. Beyond superior intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity through NLRP3 inflammasome suppression, T-GEVs function as an efficient oral delivery platform. When loaded with tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) small interfering RNA, they enable a synergistic therapy that combines innate anti-inflammatory activity with targeted gene silencing of TNF-\u03b1, showing potent efficacy in colitis. Our findings position boiling as a natural strategy for enhancing the bioactivity and targeted oral delivery potential of GEVs."

In recent years, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as important mediators of intercellular communication and promising tools in oncology. EVs are membrane-bound vesicles released by most cell types and carry diverse biomolecules, including nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and metabolites derived from their parent cells. Their presence in biological fluids makes them attractive candidates for liquid biopsy applications and minimally invasive cancer diagnosis. In addition, EVs have gained considerable attention as therapeutic platforms due to their biocompatibility, stability, and ability to deliver functional cargo to recipient cells. Beyond mammalian EVs, plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) are increasingly being investigated as scalable and potentially safe nanocarriers for biomedical applications. This review summarizes current advances in the use of EVs for cancer diagnosis and therapy, with particular emphasis on their role as biomarkers, drug-delivery systems, and emerging therapeutic agents. Furthermore, the review discusses current challenges and future perspectives related to EV isolation, characterization, and clinical translation in oncology."

Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) represent a promising natural platform to overcome this challenge. Exhibiting inherent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-tumor properties, PDEVs demonstrate remarkable structural resilience under acidic and enzymatic conditions. Their capacities to cross intestinal barriers, deliver functional microRNAs, and encapsulate poorly bioavailable drugs have shown therapeutic potential in models of intestinal inflammation, metabolic disorders, and gastrointestinal cancers. This review systematically outlines the structural and functional characteristics of PDEVs and evaluates their emerging role as oral carriers for diverse cargoes, including small molecules, nucleic acids, proteins, and probiotics. We also discuss their advantages, design principles, recent advances, current limitations, and future perspectives."

In the EBOV, two multifunctional proteins, VP35 and VP40, have significant roles in replication, virion assembly, and budding from the cell and have been identified as druggable targets. In this study, we employed in silico methods comprising molecular docking, molecular dynamic simulations, and pharmacological properties to identify prospective drugs for inhibiting VP35 and VP40 proteins from the myxobacterial bioactive natural product repertoire. Cystobactamid 934-2, Cystobactamid 919-1, and Cittilin A bound firmly to VP35. Meanwhile, 2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine, Enhypyrazinone B, and Sorangiadenosine showed strong binding to the matrix protein VP40. Molecular dynamic simulations revealed that, among these compounds, Cystobactamid 919-1 and 2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine had stable interactions with their respective targets. Similarly, molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MMPBSA) calculations indicated close-fitting receptor binding with VP35 or VP40. These two compounds also exhibited good pharmacological properties. In conclusion, we identified Cystobactamid 919-1 and 2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine as potential ligands for EBOV that target VP35 and VP40 proteins. These findings signify an essential step in vitro and in vivo to validate their potential for EBOV inhibition."

We demonstrate that host BAG3 and HSP70 recognize VP40 as a client and inhibit the egress of VP40 virus-like particles (VLPs) by promoting degradation of VP40 via Chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA). Pharmacological inhibition of either the early stage formation of the VP40/BAG3/HSP70 tripartite complex, or late stage formation of autolysosomes, rescued VP40 VLP egress back to WT levels. The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a master regulator of autophagy, and we found that surface expression of EBOV GP on either VLPs or an infectious VSV recombinant virus, activated mTORC1. Notably, pharmacological suppression of mTORC1 signaling by rapamycin activated CASA in a BAG3-dependent manner to restrict the egress of both VLPs and infectious EBOV in Huh7 cells. In sum, our findings highlight the involvement of the mTORC1/CASA axis in regulating filovirus egress."

"abstract_text": "ID: 30463970\nTitle: Efficient Inhibition of Avian and Seasonal Influenza A Viruses by a Virus-Specific Dicer-Substrate Small Interfering RNA Swarm in Human Monocyte-Derived Macrophages and Dendritic Cells.\nAbstract: Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are viral pathogens that cause epidemics and occasional pandemics of significant mortality. The generation of efficacious vaccines and antiviral drugs remains a challenge due to the rapid appearance of new influenza virus types and antigenic variants. Consequently, novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of IAV infections are needed, given the limitations of the presently available antivirals. Here, we used enzymatically produced IAV-specific double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules and Giardia intestinalis Dicer for the generation of a swarm of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules. The siRNAs target multiple conserved genomic regions of the IAVs. In mammalian cells, the produced 25- to 27-nucleotide-long siRNA molecules are processed by endogenous Dicer into 21-nucleotide siRNAs and are thus designated Dicer-substrate siRNAs (DsiRNAs). We evaluated the efficacy of the above DsiRNA swarm at preventing IAV infections in human primary monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells. The replication of different IAV strains, including avian influenza H5N1 and H7N9 viruses, was significantly inhibited by pretransfection of the cells with the IAV-specific DsiRNA swarm. Up to 7 orders of magnitude inhibition of viral RNA expression was observed, which led to a dramatic inhibition of IAV protein synthesis and virus production. The IAV-specific DsiRNA swarm inhibited virus replication directly through the RNA interference pathway although a weak induction of innate interferon responses was detected. Our results provide direct evidence for the feasibility of the siRNA strategy and the potency of DsiRNA swarms in the prevention and treatment of influenza, including the highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses.IMPORTANCE In spite of the enormous amount of research, influenza virus is still one of the major challenges for medical virology due to its capacity to generate new variants, which potentially lead to severe epidemics and pandemics. We demonstrated here that a swarm of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules, including more than 100 different antiviral RNA molecules targeting the most conserved regions of the influenza A virus genome, could efficiently inhibit the replication of all tested avian and seasonal influenza A variants in human primary monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells. The wide antiviral spectrum makes the virus-specific siRNA swarm a potentially efficient treatment modality against both avian and seasonal influenza viruses."

Viral attachment and entry factors, as well as the more recently described influence of cell polarization, shape macrophage susceptibility to direct infection. Moreover, the study of Toll-like receptor 4 and the RIG-I-like receptor pathway in the macrophage response to ebolaviruses highlight important immune signaling pathways contributing to the breadth of macrophage responses. Lastly, the deep histopathological catalogue of macrophage involvement across numerous tissues during infection has been enriched by descriptions of tissues involved in sequelae following acute infection, including: the eye, joints, and the nervous system. Building upon this knowledge base, future opportunities include characterization of macrophage phenotypes beneficial or deleterious to survival, delineation of the specific roles macrophages play in pathological lesion development in affected tissues, and the creation of macrophage-specific therapeutics enhancing the beneficial activities and reducing the deleterious contributions of macrophages to the outcome of Ebola virus disease."

While some inflammatory responses may originate from mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs), nonimmune cells vastly outnumber MNPs and may be an important source of inflammation. Here, we demonstrated that highly virulent EBOV induced a high and sustained pro-inflammatory response compared to less virulent ebolaviruses in non-MNPs through TLR4-independent NF-\u03baB activation. We identified the EBOV matrix protein VP40 as a potent activator of NF-\u03baB in non-MNPs, whose intrinsic inflammatory activation ability is higher than VP40 proteins from less virulent ebolaviruses. This suggests that VP40 is a virulence determinant inducing distinct degrees of pro-inflammatory responses among ebolaviruses. Mechanistically, VP40 activated the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway, primarily via TNFR1 using a ligand-independent mechanism. These findings reveal mechanisms that may drive systemic inflammation and promote EBOV pathogenesis, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies to mitigate immune dysregulation in severe EBOV infections."

This mutation is a potential target for CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing. However, the blood-brain barrier and limitations of current viral or nanoparticle-based delivery systems to neurons significantly restrict the clinical application of CRISPR-Cas9 in the brain. To address these challenges, we developed a drug delivery system using acerola-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (AELNs), which may overcome several limitations associated with human exosomes. AELNs stably form complexes with ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) comprised of Cas9 proteins and guide RNAs (gRNAs). We improved the delivery efficiency and selectivity of AELN/RNP complexes in GLP2-receptor-expressing neurons by incorporating GLP2 peptides into the AELN/RNP complexes. Intranasal administration of peptide-tagged AELN/RNP complexes in vivo confirmed the successful genome editing of C9orf72, demonstrating the potential of this system for treating neurodegenerative diseases.

From a pharmaceutics standpoint, their therapeutic performance is often cargo-governed (e.g., microRNAs and proteins) and is ultimately constrained by delivery determinants such as stability, biodistribution, cellular uptake, and intracellular trafficking. In this review, we compare animal-derived exosomes (ADEs) and PELNs through a formulation-centric lens, emphasizing how source-dependent molecular composition shapes critical delivery behaviors and translational feasibility. We reorganize representative preclinical evidence into pharmaceutics-relevant delivery scenarios-including systemic/vascular targeting, blood-brain barrier transport, oral gastrointestinal delivery, and tumor microenvironment modulation-to connect cargo identity with exposure-site interactions and pharmacodynamic outcomes. We further discuss engineering strategies for improving payload control, targeting precision, and dosing accuracy, including endogenous enrichment, exogenous loading, and surface functionalization, while highlighting scale-up and safety considerations introduced by modification. Finally, we delineate translational priorities required to advance exosome-based products toward clinical development: standardized dose metrics (particle- and cargo-normalized), quantitative PK/biodistribution-PD relationships, potency assays and critical quality attributes (CQAs), manufacturing consistency under GMP, and regulatory-compliant characterization. Collectively, this review reframes ADEs and PELNs as cargo-driven pharmaceutical delivery systems and provides a practical roadmap for translation, with particular attention to the oral and scalable potential of PELNs."

However, there are no regulatorily approved drugs against the Ebola virus disease (EVD). The highly virulent and lethal nature of EVD highlights the need to develop therapeutic agents. Viral protein 40 kDa (VP40), the most abundantly expressed protein during infection, coordinates the assembly, budding, and release of viral particles into the host cell. It also regulates viral transcription and RNA replication. This study sought to identify small molecules that could potentially inhibit the VP40 protein by targeting the N-terminal domain using an in silico approach. The statistical quality of AutoDock Vina's capacity to discriminate between inhibitors and decoys was determined, and an area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic (AUC-ROC) curve of 0.791 was obtained. A total of 29,519 natural-product-derived compounds from Chinese and African sources as well as 2738 approved drugs were successfully screened against VP40. Using a threshold of -8 kcal/mol, a total of 7, 11, 163, and 30 compounds from the AfroDb, Northern African Natural Products Database (NANPDB), traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and approved drugs libraries, respectively, were obtained after molecular docking. A biological activity prediction of the lead compounds suggested their potential antiviral properties. In addition, random-forest- and support-vector-machine-based algorithms predicted the compounds to be anti-Ebola with IC50 values in the micromolar range (less than 25 \u03bcM). A total of 42 natural-product-derived compounds were identified as potential EBOV inhibitors with desirable ADMET profiles, comprising 1, 2, and 39 compounds from NANPDB (2-hydroxyseneganolide), AfroDb (ZINC000034518176 and ZINC000095485942), and TCM, respectively.

Molecular dynamics simulations coupled with molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area calculations corroborated the stability and good binding affinities of the complexes (-46.97 to -118.9 kJ/mol). The potential lead compounds may have the potential to be developed as anti-EBOV drugs after experimental testing."

To avoid off-target expression in the liver, miR-122 binding sites have been used by others in viral and non-viral therapeutics. Here, we use a luciferase reporter system to compare different copy numbers and insertion locations of miR-122 binding sequences to restrict liver expression. We inserted one to five miR-122 binding sites into the 5' or 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of luciferase mRNAs and tested them in LNPs in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo via systemic intravenous and local intramuscular injections in mice.

However, their translational development is limited by unresolved questions surrounding safety, biodistribution, product identity, and batch consistency. In this review, we synthesize current knowledge on the toxicology and biodistribution of plant-derived extracellular vesicle products, with emphasis on route-dependent exposure, barrier interactions, immune recognition, hemocompatibility, microbiome effects, and off-target organ accumulation. We argue that an edible plant origin should not be considered a surrogate for safety, particularly when products are administered at high doses, repeatedly, or through non-oral routes. We further identify quality control as a central determinant of both efficacy and safety, because plant source, growth conditions, harvest timing, isolation workflow, storage, and co-isolated contaminants can substantially alter vesicle composition and biological activity. To address these challenges, we propose a translational framework that integrates chemistry, manufacturing, and control principles with route-specific nonclinical toxicology testing and mechanism-linked potency assays. The framework highlights minimum expectations for identity, purity, potency, stability, and contaminant testing, including microbial burden, endotoxin-like activity, pesticide residues, and heavy metals. We also outline research priorities needed for regulatory-grade development, including harmonized nomenclature, reference materials, orthogonal characterization strategies, and mechanistic studies that distinguish vesicle-intrinsic effects from cargo- or impurity-driven toxicity. Collectively, this review positions toxicology and product quality as the key organizing principles for the safe and reproducible development of plant-derived extracellular vesicles in drug delivery."

However, the risk of viral persistence and associated disease recrudescence in survivors receiving these therapeutics remains unclear. In contrast to rhesus macaques that survived Ebola virus (EBOV) exposure in the absence of treatment, we discovered that EBOV, despite being cleared from all other organs, persisted in the brain ventricular system of rhesus macaque survivors that had received monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatment. In mAb-treated macaque survivors, EBOV persisted in macrophages infiltrating the brain ventricular system, including the choroid plexuses. This macrophage infiltration was accompanied by severe tissue damage, including ventriculitis, choroid plexitis, and meningoencephalitis. Specifically, choroid plexus endothelium-derived EBOV infection led to viral persistence in the macaque brain ventricular system. This resulted in apoptosis of ependymal cells, which constitute the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier of the choroid plexuses. Fatal brain-confined recrudescence of EBOV infection manifested as severe inflammation, local pathology, and widespread infection of the ventricular system and adjacent neuropil in some of the mAb-treated macaque survivors. This study highlights organ-specific EBOV persistence and fatal recrudescent disease in rhesus macaque survivors after therapeutic treatment and has implications for the long-term follow-up of human survivors of EVD."

However, a clear association is yet to be firmly established for effective host-targeted, immunomodulatory therapeutic approaches to improve outcomes in patients with severe EVD. Twenty-four rhesus monkeys were exposed intramuscularly to the EBOV Kikwit isolate and euthanized at prescheduled time points or when they reached the end-stage disease criteria. Three additional monkeys were mock-exposed and used as uninfected controls. EBOV-exposed monkeys presented with clinicopathologic features of HLS, including fever, multiple organomegaly, pancytopenia, hemophagocytosis, hyperfibrinogenemia with disseminated intravascular coagulation, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercytokinemia, increased concentrations of soluble CD163 and CD25 in serum, and the loss of activated natural killer cells. Our data suggest that EVD in the rhesus macaque model mimics pathophysiologic features of HLS/macrophage activation syndrome. Hence, regulating inflammation and immune function might provide an effective treatment for controlling the pathogenesis of acute EVD."

Here, we developed an Ebola virus envelope glycoprotein (EboGP)-based chimeric fusion protein system and demonstrated that replacement of the mucin-like domain (MLD) of EboGP with HIV C2-V3-C3 (134 amino acids [aa]) or C2-V3-C3-V4-C4-V5-C5 (243 aa) polypeptides (EbGP\u0394M-V3 and EbGP\u0394M-V3-V5, respectively) still maintained the efficiency of EboGP-mediated viral entry into human macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs). Animal studies using mice revealed that immunization with virus-like particles (VLPs) containing the above chimeric proteins, especially EbGP\u0394M-V3, induced significantly more potent anti-HIV antibodies than HIV gp120 alone in mouse serum and vaginal fluid. Moreover, the splenocytes isolated from mice immunized with VLPs containing EbGP\u0394M-V3 produced significantly higher levels of gamma interferon (IFN-\u03b3), interleukin 2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-5, and macrophage inflammatory protein 1\u03b1 (MIP-1\u03b1). Additionally, we demonstrated that coexpression of EbGP\u0394M-V3 and the HIV Env glycoprotein in a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV) vector elicited robust anti-HIV antibodies that may have specifically recognized epitopes outside or inside the C2-V3-C3 region of HIV-1 gp120 and cross-reacted with the gp120 from different HIV strains. Thus, this study has demonstrated the great potential of this DC-targeting vaccine platform as a new vaccine approach for improving immunogen delivery and increasing vaccine efficacy.

Thus, the development of an effective vaccine against HIV infection remains a global priority. This study revealed the efficacy of a novel dendritic cell (DC)-targeting vaccination approach against HIV-1.

Here we report that viral-infection-induced inflammatory stimulation causes a rewiring of the urea cycle and the tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolism in macrophages to form a cyclic pathway called the aspartate-argininosuccinate (AAS) shunt. Using RNA sequencing, unbiased metabolomics and stable isotope tracing, we found that fumarate generated from the AAS shunt is driven by argininosuccinate synthase (ASS1) in the cytosol and potentiates inflammatory effects. Genetic ablation of ASS1 reduces intracellular fumarate levels and interferon-\u03b2 production, and mitochondrial respiration is also suppressed.

In recent years, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as important mediators of intercellular communication and promising tools in oncology. EVs are membrane-bound vesicles released by most cell types and carry diverse biomolecules, including nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and metabolites derived from their parent cells. Their presence in biological fluids makes them attractive candidates for liquid biopsy applications and minimally invasive cancer diagnosis. In addition, EVs have gained considerable attention as therapeutic platforms due to their biocompatibility, stability, and ability to deliver functional cargo to recipient cells. Beyond mammalian EVs, plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) are increasingly being investigated as scalable and potentially safe nanocarriers for biomedical applications. This review summarizes current advances in the use of EVs for cancer diagnosis and therapy, with particular emphasis on their role as biomarkers, drug-delivery systems, and emerging therapeutic agents. Furthermore, the review discusses current challenges and future perspectives related to EV isolation, characterization, and clinical translation in oncology."

In the EBOV, two multifunctional proteins, VP35 and VP40, have significant roles in replication, virion assembly, and budding from the cell and have been identified as druggable targets. In this study, we employed in silico methods comprising molecular docking, molecular dynamic simulations, and pharmacological properties to identify prospective drugs for inhibiting VP35 and VP40 proteins from the myxobacterial bioactive natural product repertoire. Cystobactamid 934-2, Cystobactamid 919-1, and Cittilin A bound firmly to VP35. Meanwhile, 2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine, Enhypyrazinone B, and Sorangiadenosine showed strong binding to the matrix protein VP40. Molecular dynamic simulations revealed that, among these compounds, Cystobactamid 919-1 and 2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine had stable interactions with their respective targets. Similarly, molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MMPBSA) calculations indicated close-fitting receptor binding with VP35 or VP40. These two compounds also exhibited good pharmacological properties. In conclusion, we identified Cystobactamid 919-1 and 2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine as potential ligands for EBOV that target VP35 and VP40 proteins. These findings signify an essential step in vitro and in vivo to validate their potential for EBOV inhibition."

This mutation is a potential target for CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing. However, the blood-brain barrier and limitations of current viral or nanoparticle-based delivery systems to neurons significantly restrict the clinical application of CRISPR-Cas9 in the brain. To address these challenges, we developed a drug delivery system using acerola-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (AELNs), which may overcome several limitations associated with human exosomes. AELNs stably form complexes with ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) comprised of Cas9 proteins and guide RNAs (gRNAs). We improved the delivery efficiency and selectivity of AELN/RNP complexes in GLP2-receptor-expressing neurons by incorporating GLP2 peptides into the AELN/RNP complexes. Intranasal administration of peptide-tagged AELN/RNP complexes in vivo confirmed the successful genome editing of C9orf72, demonstrating the potential of this system for treating neurodegenerative diseases.

To avoid off-target expression in the liver, miR-122 binding sites have been used by others in viral and non-viral therapeutics. Here, we use a luciferase reporter system to compare different copy numbers and insertion locations of miR-122 binding sequences to restrict liver expression. We inserted one to five miR-122 binding sites into the 5' or 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of luciferase mRNAs and tested them in LNPs in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo via systemic intravenous and local intramuscular injections in mice. Our results showed no significant differences in de-targeting efficacy between mRNAs harboring one or multiple miR-122 binding sites or between those with 5' or 3' UTR placements. To test the impact of miR-122 binding sites on antibody response to a mRNA vaccine, Ebola virus matrix protein VP40 mRNAs were modified with or without miR-122 binding sites and injected in mice intramuscularly. This work reinforces the utility of miR-122 binding sites while providing a comparison of these sites to aid the future development of LNP-mRNA therapies for non-hepatic tissues."

Our prior in vitro work identified that CD40 signaling in murine peritoneal macrophages protects against several RNA viruses by eliciting IL-12, which stimulates the production of interferon gamma (IFN-\u03b3). Here, we examine the role of CD40 signaling in vivo. We show that CD40 signaling is a critical, but currently poorly appreciated, component of the innate immune response using two distinct infectious agents: mouse-adapted influenza A virus (IAV, PR8) and recombinant VSV encoding the Ebola virus glycoprotein (rVSV-EBOV GP). We find that stimulation of CD40 signaling decreases early IAV titers, whereas loss of CD40 elevated early titers and compromised lung function by day 3 of infection. Protection conferred by CD40 signaling against IAV is dependent on IFN-\u03b3 production, consistent with our in vitro studies. Using rVSV-EBOV GP that serves as a low-biocontainment model of filovirus infection, we demonstrate that macrophages are a CD40-expressing population critical for protection within the peritoneum and T-cells are the key source of CD40L (CD154).

To properly counteract EVD, an improved understanding of the long-term impact of recent EVD outbreaks in West Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo are needed. In the wake of recent outbreaks, numerous health sequelae were identified in EVD survivors. These findings include joint pains, headaches, myalgias, and uveitis, a vision-threatening inflammatory condition of the eye. Retrospective and more recent prospective studies of EVD survivors from West Africa have demonstrated that uveitis may occur in 13-34% of patients with an increase in prevalence from baseline to 12-month follow-up. The clinical spectrum of disease ranges from mild, anterior uveitis to severe, sight-threatening panuveitis. Untreated inflammation may ultimately lead to secondary complications of cataract and posterior synechiae, with resultant vision impairment. The identification of Ebola virus persistence in immune privileged organs, such as the eye, with subsequent tissue inflammation and edema may lead to vision loss. Non-human primate models of EVD have demonstrated tissue localization to the eye including macrophage reservoirs within the vitreous matter. Moreover, in vitro models of Ebola virus have shown permissiveness in retinal pigment epithelial cells, potentially contributing to viral persistence. Broad perspectives from epidemiologic studies of the outbreak, animal modeling, and immunologic studies of EVD survivors have demonstrated the spectrum of the eye disease, tissue specificity of Ebola virus infection, and antigen-specific immunologic response. Further studies in these areas will elucidate the mechanisms of this highly prevalent disease with the potential for improved therapeutics for Ebola virus in immune-privileged sites."

No therapeutics or vaccines are currently licensed; however, a vaccine has shown promise in clinical trials. A critical step towards development of effective therapeutics is a better understanding of factors that govern host susceptibility to this pathogen. As macrophages are an important cell population targeted during virus replication, we explore the effect of cytokine polarization on macrophage infection. We utilized a BSL2 EBOV model virus, infectious, recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus encoding EBOV glycoprotein (GP) (rVSV/EBOV GP) in place of its native glycoprotein. Macrophages polarized towards a M2-like anti-inflammatory state by combined IL-4 and IL-13 treatment were more susceptible to rVSV/EBOV GP, but not to wild-type VSV (rVSV/G), suggesting that EBOV GP-dependent entry events were enhanced by these cytokines. Examination of RNA expression of known surface receptors that bind and internalize filoviruses demonstrated that IL-4/IL-13 stimulated expression of the C-type lectin receptor DC-SIGN in human macrophages and addition of the competitive inhibitor mannan abrogated IL-4/IL-13 enhanced infection. Two murine DC-SIGN-like family members, SIGNR3 and SIGNR5, were upregulated by IL-4/IL-13 in murine macrophages, but only SIGNR3 enhanced virus infection in a mannan-inhibited manner, suggesting that murine SIGNR3 plays a similar role to human DC-SIGN. In vivo IL-4/IL-13 administration significantly increased virus-mediated mortality in a mouse model and transfer of ex vivo IL-4/IL-13-treated murine peritoneal macrophages into the peritoneal cavity of mice enhanced pathogenesis. These studies highlight the ability of macrophage polarization to influence EBOV GP-dependent virus replication in vivo and ex vivo, with M2a polarization upregulating cell surface receptor expression and thereby enhancing virus replication. Our findings provide an increased understanding of the host factors in macrophages governing susceptibility to filoviruses and identify novel murine receptors mediating EBOV entry."

The generation of efficacious vaccines and antiviral drugs remains a challenge due to the rapid appearance of new influenza virus types and antigenic variants. Consequently, novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of IAV infections are needed, given the limitations of the presently available antivirals. Here, we used enzymatically produced IAV-specific double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules and Giardia intestinalis Dicer for the generation of a swarm of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules. The siRNAs target multiple conserved genomic regions of the IAVs. In mammalian cells, the produced 25- to 27-nucleotide-long siRNA molecules are processed by endogenous Dicer into 21-nucleotide siRNAs and are thus designated Dicer-substrate siRNAs (DsiRNAs). We evaluated the efficacy of the above DsiRNA swarm at preventing IAV infections in human primary monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells. The replication of different IAV strains, including avian influenza H5N1 and H7N9 viruses, was significantly inhibited by pretransfection of the cells with the IAV-specific DsiRNA swarm. Up to 7 orders of magnitude inhibition of viral RNA expression was observed, which led to a dramatic inhibition of IAV protein synthesis and virus production. The IAV-specific DsiRNA swarm inhibited virus replication directly through the RNA interference pathway although a weak induction of innate interferon responses was detected. Our results provide direct evidence for the feasibility of the siRNA strategy and the potency of DsiRNA swarms in the prevention and treatment of influenza, including the highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses.IMPORTANCE In spite of the enormous amount of research, influenza virus is still one of the major challenges for medical virology due to its capacity to generate new variants, which potentially lead to severe epidemics and pandemics. We demonstrated here that a swarm of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules, including more than 100 different antiviral RNA molecules targeting the most conserved regions of the influenza A virus genome, could efficiently inhibit the replication of all tested avian and seasonal influenza A variants in human primary monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells. The wide antiviral spectrum makes the virus-specific siRNA swarm a potentially efficient treatment modality against both avian and seasonal influenza viruses."

However, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. We investigated the antiviral activities of exosomes from responders and nonresponders to pegylated IFN-\u03b1 (PegIFN-\u03b1) as well as the supernatants of IFN-\u03b1-treated macrophages derived from THP-1 (the human leukemia monocyte cell line).

The luciferase reporter assay was used to locate the binding position of HBV genomic sequence targeted by the identified miRNA. Exosomes from PegIFN-\u03b1-treated patients, particularly responders, as well as the supernatants of IFN-\u03b1-treated macrophages exhibited anti-HBV activities, as manifested by the suppression of hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B e antigen, HBV DNA, and covalently closed circular DNA levels in HBV-related cell lines.

Nef also induces lipid raft formation. In this study, we demonstrate that these activities are tightly linked and affect macrophage function and HIV replication. Nef stimulated lipid raft formation in macrophage cell line RAW 264.7, and lipid rafts were also mobilized in HIV-1-infected human monocyte-derived macrophages. Nef-mediated transfer of cholesterol to lipid rafts competed with the ABCA1-dependent pathway of cholesterol efflux, and pharmacological inhibition of ABCA1 functionality or suppression of ABCA1 expression by RNAi increased Nef-dependent delivery of cholesterol to lipid rafts. Nef reduced cell-surface accessibility of ABCA1 and induced ABCA1 catabolism via the lysosomal pathway. Despite increasing the abundance of lipid rafts, expression of Nef impaired phagocytic functions of macrophages. The infectivity of the virus produced in natural target cells of HIV-1 negatively correlated with the level of ABCA1. These findings demonstrate that Nef-dependent inhibition of ABCA1 is an essential component of the viral replication strategy and underscore the role of ABCA1 as an innate anti-HIV factor."

This study aimed to develop an immunizing agent against S. parauberis using exosomes isolated from the plasma of olive flounders infected experimentally with S. parauberis (Sp-Exo). Initially, we tested the in vitro immunomodulatory effect of Sp-Exo in murine macrophage RAW264.7\u00a0cells and compared it to that of exosomes isolated from na\u00efve fish (PBS-Exo-treated). Notably, Sp-Exo treatment significantly (p\u00a0<\u00a00.05) upregulated pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines (Il1\u03b2, Tnf\u03b1, and Il10), antimicrobial peptide, defensin isoforms (Def-rs2 and Def-ps1), and antiviral (Ifn\u03b21 and Isg15) genes. In vivo studies in larval and adult zebrafish revealed similar patterns of immunomodulation. Furthermore, larval and adult zebrafish exhibited significantly (p\u00a0<\u00a00.05) enhanced resistance to S. parauberis infection following treatment with Sp-Exo compared to that with PBS-Exo. Proteomic analysis using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) approach revealed the presence of 77 upregulated and 94 downregulated differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in Sp-Exo, with 22 and 37 significantly (p\u00a0<\u00a00.05) upregulated and downregulated DEPs, respectively. Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, and Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins analyses revealed that these genes are associated with key pathways, such as innate immune responses, complement system, acute phase responses, phospholipid efflux, and chylomicron remodeling. In conclusion, Sp-Exo demonstrated superior immunomodulatory activity and significant resistance against S. parauberis infection relative to that on treatment with PBS-Exo. Proteomic analysis further verified that most DEPs in Sp-Exo were associated with immune induction or modulation. These findings highlight the potential of Sp-Exo as a promising vaccine candidate against S. parauberis and other bacterial infections in olive flounder."

Herein, we developed a fast-dissolving microneedle (MN) patch of chondroitin sulfate and carboxymethyl chitosan for localized codelivery of Platycladus orientalis leaf-derived extracellular vesicles (PO-EVs) and minoxidil nanoparticles (MXD NPs). PO-EVs were separated and characterized as nanoscale vesicles and were shown to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pro-angiogenic activities relevant to hair follicle maintenance. MXD NPs were prepared by thin-film hydration to improve the minoxidil solubility and local retention. Both were loaded into microneedles with sufficient mechanical strength that could dissolve rapidly in the skin. In a mouse model of androgenic alopecia, repeated dual-loaded MN treatment accelerated the telogen-to-anagen transition, increased hair-covered area and shaft thickness, and restored follicular morphology. Mechanistic studies showed that hair follicle stem cells were activated and proliferated, perifollicular oxidative stress and inflammation were reduced, and microvessel density around hair follicles was increased. No evident skin irritation or systemic toxicity was observed. This MN codelivery strategy improves hair regrowth by combining efficient minoxidil delivery with PO-EV-mediated microenvironment restoration and may be extended to other inflammatory/oxidative skin disorders impairing regeneration."

In recent years, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as important mediators of intercellular communication and promising tools in oncology. EVs are membrane-bound vesicles released by most cell types and carry diverse biomolecules, including nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and metabolites derived from their parent cells. Their presence in biological fluids makes them attractive candidates for liquid biopsy applications and minimally invasive cancer diagnosis. In addition, EVs have gained considerable attention as therapeutic platforms due to their biocompatibility, stability, and ability to deliver functional cargo to recipient cells. Beyond mammalian EVs, plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) are increasingly being investigated as scalable and potentially safe nanocarriers for biomedical applications. This review summarizes current advances in the use of EVs for cancer diagnosis and therapy, with particular emphasis on their role as biomarkers, drug-delivery systems, and emerging therapeutic agents. Furthermore, the review discusses current challenges and future perspectives related to EV isolation, characterization, and clinical translation in oncology."

This mutation is a potential target for CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing. However, the blood-brain barrier and limitations of current viral or nanoparticle-based delivery systems to neurons significantly restrict the clinical application of CRISPR-Cas9 in the brain. To address these challenges, we developed a drug delivery system using acerola-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (AELNs), which may overcome several limitations associated with human exosomes. AELNs stably form complexes with ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) comprised of Cas9 proteins and guide RNAs (gRNAs).

To avoid off-target expression in the liver, miR-122 binding sites have been used by others in viral and non-viral therapeutics. Here, we use a luciferase reporter system to compare different copy numbers and insertion locations of miR-122 binding sequences to restrict liver expression. We inserted one to five miR-122 binding sites into the 5' or 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of luciferase mRNAs and tested them in LNPs in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo via systemic intravenous and local intramuscular injections in mice.

However, the risk of viral persistence and associated disease recrudescence in survivors receiving these therapeutics remains unclear. In contrast to rhesus macaques that survived Ebola virus (EBOV) exposure in the absence of treatment, we discovered that EBOV, despite being cleared from all other organs, persisted in the brain ventricular system of rhesus macaque survivors that had received monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatment. In mAb-treated macaque survivors, EBOV persisted in macrophages infiltrating the brain ventricular system, including the choroid plexuses. This macrophage infiltration was accompanied by severe tissue damage, including ventriculitis, choroid plexitis, and meningoencephalitis. Specifically, choroid plexus endothelium-derived EBOV infection led to viral persistence in the macaque brain ventricular system. This resulted in apoptosis of ependymal cells, which constitute the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier of the choroid plexuses. Fatal brain-confined recrudescence of EBOV infection manifested as severe inflammation, local pathology, and widespread infection of the ventricular system and adjacent neuropil in some of the mAb-treated macaque survivors. This study highlights organ-specific EBOV persistence and fatal recrudescent disease in rhesus macaque survivors after therapeutic treatment and has implications for the long-term follow-up of human survivors of EVD."

Here we report that viral-infection-induced inflammatory stimulation causes a rewiring of the urea cycle and the tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolism in macrophages to form a cyclic pathway called the aspartate-argininosuccinate (AAS) shunt. Using RNA sequencing, unbiased metabolomics and stable isotope tracing, we found that fumarate generated from the AAS shunt is driven by argininosuccinate synthase (ASS1) in the cytosol and potentiates inflammatory effects. Genetic ablation of ASS1 reduces intracellular fumarate levels and interferon-\u03b2 production, and mitochondrial respiration is also suppressed. Notably, viral challenge or fumarate esters enhance interferon-\u03b2 production via direct succination of the mitochondrial antiviral signalling protein and activation of the retinoic acid-inducible gene-I-like receptor signalling. In addition to the vesicular stomatitis virus, the Sendai virus and influenza A virus can also exert these effects. In addition, patients with Ebola virus disease have increased ASS1 expression and ASS1-deficient mice show suppressed macrophage interferon responses to vesicular stomatitis virus infection. These findings reveal that fumarate can be produced from the viral inflammation-induced AAS shunt and is essential for antiviral innate immunity."

Our prior in vitro work identified that CD40 signaling in murine peritoneal macrophages protects against several RNA viruses by eliciting IL-12, which stimulates the production of interferon gamma (IFN-\u03b3). Here, we examine the role of CD40 signaling in vivo. We show that CD40 signaling is a critical, but currently poorly appreciated, component of the innate immune response using two distinct infectious agents: mouse-adapted influenza A virus (IAV, PR8) and recombinant VSV encoding the Ebola virus glycoprotein (rVSV-EBOV GP). We find that stimulation of CD40 signaling decreases early IAV titers, whereas loss of CD40 elevated early titers and compromised lung function by day 3 of infection. Protection conferred by CD40 signaling against IAV is dependent on IFN-\u03b3 production, consistent with our in vitro studies. Using rVSV-EBOV GP that serves as a low-biocontainment model of filovirus infection, we demonstrate that macrophages are a CD40-expressing population critical for protection within the peritoneum and T-cells are the key source of CD40L (CD154). These experiments reveal the in vivo mechanisms by which CD40 signaling in macrophages regulates the early host responses to RNA virus infection and highlight how CD40 agonists currently under investigation for clinical use may function as a novel class of broad antiviral treatments."

We demonstrate that host BAG3 and HSP70 recognize VP40 as a client and inhibit the egress of VP40 virus-like particles (VLPs) by promoting degradation of VP40 via Chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA). Pharmacological inhibition of either the early stage formation of the VP40/BAG3/HSP70 tripartite complex, or late stage formation of autolysosomes, rescued VP40 VLP egress back to WT levels. The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a master regulator of autophagy, and we found that surface expression of EBOV GP on either VLPs or an infectious VSV recombinant virus, activated mTORC1.

Animal studies using mice revealed that immunization with virus-like particles (VLPs) containing the above chimeric proteins, especially EbGP\u0394M-V3, induced significantly more potent anti-HIV antibodies than HIV gp120 alone in mouse serum and vaginal fluid. Moreover, the splenocytes isolated from mice immunized with VLPs containing EbGP\u0394M-V3 produced significantly higher levels of gamma interferon (IFN-\u03b3), interleukin 2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-5, and macrophage inflammatory protein 1\u03b1 (MIP-1\u03b1). Additionally, we demonstrated that coexpression of EbGP\u0394M-V3 and the HIV Env glycoprotein in a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV) vector elicited robust anti-HIV antibodies that may have specifically recognized epitopes outside or inside the C2-V3-C3 region of HIV-1 gp120 and cross-reacted with the gp120 from different HIV strains. Thus, this study has demonstrated the great potential of this DC-targeting vaccine platform as a new vaccine approach for improving immunogen delivery and increasing vaccine efficacy. IMPORTANCE Currently, there are more than 38.5 million reported cases of HIV globally. To date, there is no approved vaccine for HIV-1 infection. Thus, the development of an effective vaccine against HIV infection remains a global priority. This study revealed the efficacy of a novel dendritic cell (DC)-targeting vaccination approach against HIV-1. The results clearly show that the immunization of mice with virus-like particles (VLPs) and VSVs containing HIV Env and a fusion protein composed of a DC-targeting domain of Ebola virus GP with HIV C2-V3-C3 polypeptides (EbGP\u0394M-V3) could induce robust immune responses against HIV-1 Env and/or Gag in serum and vaginal mucosa. These findings provide a proof of concept of this novel and efficient DC-targeting vaccine approach in delivering various antigenic polypeptides of HIV-1 and/or other emergent infections to the host antigen-presenting cells to prevent HIV and other viral infections."

To properly counteract EVD, an improved understanding of the long-term impact of recent EVD outbreaks in West Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo are needed. In the wake of recent outbreaks, numerous health sequelae were identified in EVD survivors. These findings include joint pains, headaches, myalgias, and uveitis, a vision-threatening inflammatory condition of the eye. Retrospective and more recent prospective studies of EVD survivors from West Africa have demonstrated that uveitis may occur in 13-34% of patients with an increase in prevalence from baseline to 12-month follow-up. The clinical spectrum of disease ranges from mild, anterior uveitis to severe, sight-threatening panuveitis. Untreated inflammation may ultimately lead to secondary complications of cataract and posterior synechiae, with resultant vision impairment. The identification of Ebola virus persistence in immune privileged organs, such as the eye, with subsequent tissue inflammation and edema may lead to vision loss. Non-human primate models of EVD have demonstrated tissue localization to the eye including macrophage reservoirs within the vitreous matter. Moreover, in vitro models of Ebola virus have shown permissiveness in retinal pigment epithelial cells, potentially contributing to viral persistence. Broad perspectives from epidemiologic studies of the outbreak, animal modeling, and immunologic studies of EVD survivors have demonstrated the spectrum of the eye disease, tissue specificity of Ebola virus infection, and antigen-specific immunologic response. Further studies in these areas will elucidate the mechanisms of this highly prevalent disease with the potential for improved therapeutics for Ebola virus in immune-privileged sites."

No therapeutics or vaccines are currently licensed; however, a vaccine has shown promise in clinical trials. A critical step towards development of effective therapeutics is a better understanding of factors that govern host susceptibility to this pathogen. As macrophages are an important cell population targeted during virus replication, we explore the effect of cytokine polarization on macrophage infection. We utilized a BSL2 EBOV model virus, infectious, recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus encoding EBOV glycoprotein (GP) (rVSV/EBOV GP) in place of its native glycoprotein. Macrophages polarized towards a M2-like anti-inflammatory state by combined IL-4 and IL-13 treatment were more susceptible to rVSV/EBOV GP, but not to wild-type VSV (rVSV/G), suggesting that EBOV GP-dependent entry events were enhanced by these cytokines. Examination of RNA expression of known surface receptors that bind and internalize filoviruses demonstrated that IL-4/IL-13 stimulated expression of the C-type lectin receptor DC-SIGN in human macrophages and addition of the competitive inhibitor mannan abrogated IL-4/IL-13 enhanced infection. Two murine DC-SIGN-like family members, SIGNR3 and SIGNR5, were upregulated by IL-4/IL-13 in murine macrophages, but only SIGNR3 enhanced virus infection in a mannan-inhibited manner, suggesting that murine SIGNR3 plays a similar role to human DC-SIGN. In vivo IL-4/IL-13 administration significantly increased virus-mediated mortality in a mouse model and transfer of ex vivo IL-4/IL-13-treated murine peritoneal macrophages into the peritoneal cavity of mice enhanced pathogenesis. These studies highlight the ability of macrophage polarization to influence EBOV GP-dependent virus replication in vivo and ex vivo, with M2a polarization upregulating cell surface receptor expression and thereby enhancing virus replication. Our findings provide an increased understanding of the host factors in macrophages governing susceptibility to filoviruses and identify novel murine receptors mediating EBOV entry."

"abstract_text": "ID: 30463970\nTitle: Efficient Inhibition of Avian and Seasonal Influenza A Viruses by a Virus-Specific Dicer-Substrate Small Interfering RNA Swarm in Human Monocyte-Derived Macrophages and Dendritic Cells.\nAbstract: Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are viral pathogens that cause epidemics and occasional pandemics of significant mortality. The generation of efficacious vaccines and antiviral drugs remains a challenge due to the rapid appearance of new influenza virus types and antigenic variants. Consequently, novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of IAV infections are needed, given the limitations of the presently available antivirals. Here, we used enzymatically produced IAV-specific double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules and Giardia intestinalis Dicer for the generation of a swarm of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules. The siRNAs target multiple conserved genomic regions of the IAVs. In mammalian cells, the produced 25- to 27-nucleotide-long siRNA molecules are processed by endogenous Dicer into 21-nucleotide siRNAs and are thus designated Dicer-substrate siRNAs (DsiRNAs). We evaluated the efficacy of the above DsiRNA swarm at preventing IAV infections in human primary monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells. The replication of different IAV strains, including avian influenza H5N1 and H7N9 viruses, was significantly inhibited by pretransfection of the cells with the IAV-specific DsiRNA swarm. Up to 7 orders of magnitude inhibition of viral RNA expression was observed, which led to a dramatic inhibition of IAV protein synthesis and virus production. The IAV-specific DsiRNA swarm inhibited virus replication directly through the RNA interference pathway although a weak induction of innate interferon responses was detected. Our results provide direct evidence for the feasibility of the siRNA strategy and the potency of DsiRNA swarms in the prevention and treatment of influenza, including the highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses.IMPORTANCE In spite of the enormous amount of research, influenza virus is still one of the major challenges for medical virology due to its capacity to generate new variants, which potentially lead to severe epidemics and pandemics. We demonstrated here that a swarm of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules, including more than 100 different antiviral RNA molecules targeting the most conserved regions of the influenza A virus genome, could efficiently inhibit the replication of all tested avian and seasonal influenza A variants in human primary monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells. The wide antiviral spectrum makes the virus-specific siRNA swarm a potentially efficient treatment modality against both avian and seasonal influenza viruses."

However, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. We investigated the antiviral activities of exosomes from responders and nonresponders to pegylated IFN-\u03b1 (PegIFN-\u03b1) as well as the supernatants of IFN-\u03b1-treated macrophages derived from THP-1 (the human leukemia monocyte cell line). Then the expression profiles of exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) were analyzed using miRNA sequencing. The luciferase reporter assay was used to locate the binding position of HBV genomic sequence targeted by the identified miRNA. Exosomes from PegIFN-\u03b1-treated patients, particularly responders, as well as the supernatants of IFN-\u03b1-treated macrophages exhibited anti-HBV activities, as manifested by the suppression of hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B e antigen, HBV DNA, and covalently closed circular DNA levels in HBV-related cell lines. PegIFN-\u03b1 treatment up-regulated exosomal hsa-miR-193a-5p, hsa-miR-25-5p, and hsa-miR-574-5p, which could partially inhibit HBV replication and transcription, and hsa-miR-574-5p reduced pregenomic RNA and polymerase messenger RNA levels by binding to the 2750-2757 position of the HBV genomic sequence. Exosomes can transfer IFN-\u03b1-related miRNAs from macrophages to HBV-infected hepatocytes, and they exhibit antiviral activities against HBV replication and expression."

Nef also induces lipid raft formation. In this study, we demonstrate that these activities are tightly linked and affect macrophage function and HIV replication. Nef stimulated lipid raft formation in macrophage cell line RAW 264.7, and lipid rafts were also mobilized in HIV-1-infected human monocyte-derived macrophages. Nef-mediated transfer of cholesterol to lipid rafts competed with the ABCA1-dependent pathway of cholesterol efflux, and pharmacological inhibition of ABCA1 functionality or suppression of ABCA1 expression by RNAi increased Nef-dependent delivery of cholesterol to lipid rafts. Nef reduced cell-surface accessibility of ABCA1 and induced ABCA1 catabolism via the lysosomal pathway. Despite increasing the abundance of lipid rafts, expression of Nef impaired phagocytic functions of macrophages. The infectivity of the virus produced in natural target cells of HIV-1 negatively correlated with the level of ABCA1. These findings demonstrate that Nef-dependent inhibition of ABCA1 is an essential component of the viral replication strategy and underscore the role of ABCA1 as an innate anti-HIV factor."

In the EBOV, two multifunctional proteins, VP35 and VP40, have significant roles in replication, virion assembly, and budding from the cell and have been identified as druggable targets. In this study, we employed in silico methods comprising molecular docking, molecular dynamic simulations, and pharmacological properties to identify prospective drugs for inhibiting VP35 and VP40 proteins from the myxobacterial bioactive natural product repertoire. Cystobactamid 934-2, Cystobactamid 919-1, and Cittilin A bound firmly to VP35. Meanwhile, 2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine, Enhypyrazinone B, and Sorangiadenosine showed strong binding to the matrix protein VP40. Molecular dynamic simulations revealed that, among these compounds, Cystobactamid 919-1 and 2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine had stable interactions with their respective targets. Similarly, molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MMPBSA) calculations indicated close-fitting receptor binding with VP35 or VP40. These two compounds also exhibited good pharmacological properties. In conclusion, we identified Cystobactamid 919-1 and 2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine as potential ligands for EBOV that target VP35 and VP40 proteins. These findings signify an essential step in vitro and in vivo to validate their potential for EBOV inhibition."

Herein, we developed a fast-dissolving microneedle (MN) patch of chondroitin sulfate and carboxymethyl chitosan for localized codelivery of Platycladus orientalis leaf-derived extracellular vesicles (PO-EVs) and minoxidil nanoparticles (MXD NPs). PO-EVs were separated and characterized as nanoscale vesicles and were shown to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pro-angiogenic activities relevant to hair follicle maintenance. MXD NPs were prepared by thin-film hydration to improve the minoxidil solubility and local retention. Both were loaded into microneedles with sufficient mechanical strength that could dissolve rapidly in the skin. In a mouse model of androgenic alopecia, repeated dual-loaded MN treatment accelerated the telogen-to-anagen transition, increased hair-covered area and shaft thickness, and restored follicular morphology. Mechanistic studies showed that hair follicle stem cells were activated and proliferated, perifollicular oxidative stress and inflammation were reduced, and microvessel density around hair follicles was increased. No evident skin irritation or systemic toxicity was observed. This MN codelivery strategy improves hair regrowth by combining efficient minoxidil delivery with PO-EV-mediated microenvironment restoration and may be extended to other inflammatory/oxidative skin disorders impairing regeneration."

Macrophages are primary targets of EBOV, and viral replication profoundly alters macrophage transcriptional programs, driving hyperinflammation. Although long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly recognized as regulators of immunity and viral pathogenesis, their roles in EBOV infection remain poorly understood. We performed comprehensive transcriptomic profiling of primary human monocyte-derived macrophages infected with the highly pathogenic EBOV Mayinga variant. Infection triggered extensive remodeling of both coding and non-coding transcriptomes, including hundreds of differentially expressed lncRNAs. Functional analysis of neighboring protein-coding genes of EBOV-induced lncRNAs (EVILs) revealed enrichment of pathways linked to cytokine signaling, transcriptional regulation, and cell signaling, all of which are central to Ebola virus disease (EVD) pathogenesis. Among the most strongly induced EVILs, LINC01740 and its neighboring protein-coding gene, Activating Transcription Factor 3 (ATF3), were significantly upregulated. Antisense oligonucleotide-mediated inhibition of LINC01740 reduced ATF3 mRNA and protein levels. CRISPR/Cas13d-mediated knockdown of ATF3 restored type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling and antiviral gene expression in EBOV-infected macrophages. Mechanistically, ATF3 functions as a negative regulator of IFN-I and type I interferon-stimulated gene expression, thereby suppressing antiviral immune responses in EBOV-infected macrophages. Together, these findings identify a previously unrecognized LINC01740-ATF3-IFN-I regulatory axis that EBOV exploits to promote immune suppression and viral replication."

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising alternative due to their immunomodulatory properties; however, whole-cell therapies have certain limitations. MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), including small vesicles-exosomes-have emerged as a safe cell-free therapeutic platform capable of crossing biological barriers and delivering bioactive cargo with low immunogenicity. Various types of RNAs abundantly produced by host MSCs represent a key element of EV content. In particular, EVs carry small RNAs, which essentially determine cellular life and fate. Our review provides a comprehensive mechanistic framework for the use of RNA-loaded EVs, specifically those carrying microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs), in restoring immune homeostasis. We detail the biogenesis and molecular mechanisms governing sorting of RNA into EVs, along with endogenous and exogenous engineering strategies to enhance therapeutic potency. We examine how RNA-loaded EVs modulate immunological processes like reprogramming of macrophage M1-M2 polarization, Th17/Treg balance, and suppression of inflammatory signaling pathways such as NF-\u03baB and the NLRP3 inflammasome. We address critical translational challenges-EV heterogeneity, manufacturing scalability, and need for standardized quality control-while outlining future opportunities for RNA-loaded EV-based therapeutics."

While secreted phosphoproteins are crucial in this process, the upstream kinases regulating their post-translational modifications and biological functions remain poorly understood. Integrating single-cell RNA sequencing and macromolecular interaction analysis, we identified a pro-fibrotic FPR3+ macrophage subset. We utilized co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry to map the interaction between the Golgi kinase Fam20C and its substrate Osteopontin (also known as SPP1). To validate the functional requirement of this kinase in vivo, we employed a Fab'-functionalized macromolecular delivery system to specifically silence Fam20C in macrophages. We demonstrate that Fam20C phosphorylates SPP1, a critical modification that facilitates its secretion and subsequent binding to CD44 receptors on lung-resident mesenchymal stem cells (LR-MSCs). This ligand-receptor interaction inhibits the Hippo pathway, driving LR-MSC differentiation into myofibroblasts. Importantly, specific silencing of Fam20C using the targeted siRNA delivery strategy significantly attenuated fibrotic progression and blocked the macrophage-LR-MSC fibrogenic crosstalk in mouse models. This study reveals the Fam20C-SPP1 phosphorylation axis as a critical macromolecular switch in pulmonary fibrosis. Our findings provide mechanistic insights into immune-stromal communication and highlight Fam20C as a viable target for precision intervention."

However, delivering siRNA with site-targeted stability and therapeutic efficacy is still challenging due to the complex and dynamic intestinal microenvironment.

Ginger EVs show strong colon and macrophage targeting, as well as robust resistance to acidic degradation in the stomach. Moreover, 6-shogaol in ginger-derived EVs displays anti-inflammatory effects, which enhance the treatment efficiency by cooperation with TNF-\u03b1 siRNA. In vitro experiments reveal that ZIF-8 nanoparticles have high TNF-\u03b1 siRNA loading capacity and promote siRNA escape from cellular lysosomes. In vivo experiments show that the TNF-\u03b1 level is reduced more significantly in colonic tissue than other nontargeted inflammation related factors, showing a good targeting of this composite nanoparticle. Furthermore, gut microbiota sequencing results demonstrate that the nanoparticles can promote intestinal barrier repair by regulating the intestinal microbial balance and restoring the intestinal health of UC mice. Therefore, the developed EVs@ZIF-8@siRNA nanoparticles may represent a novel colon-targeted oral drug, providing a promising therapeutic strategy for UC therapy."

Methods: This study was a case series combined with group-designed basic study. The chronic wound tissue and its adjacent normal skin tissue were collected from 8 patients with diabetic foot ulcers, who received debridement surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from June to September 2023, including 5 males and 3 females, aged 45-72 years. The expression of Wnt9a was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method and immunofluorescence method. Eight male C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were used to establish a full-thickness skin resected wound on the back. They were divided into control group received no additional treatment and chronic wound group subcutaneously injected with mouse M1 macrophage derived exosomes at the wound edge to establish a chronic wound model using a random number table method (the same grouping method below), with 4 mice in each group. At 7 days after modeling, the Wnt9a expressions in the wound tissue of mice in two groups was detected by ELISA method. Additional 16 male C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were used to establish the chronic wound model as before and were divided into empty control group and Wnt9a overexpression group, with 8 mice in each group, which were injected subcutaneously at the wound edge with enhanced green fluorescent protein empty adenovirus (AV-eGFP) and Wnt9a gene recombinant adenovirus expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (AV-Wnt9a-eGFP), respectively. At 3, 7, and 14 days after modeling, the percentages of residual wound area were calculated. At 14 days after modeling, the expressions of type \u2160 and type \u2162 collagen were detected by Western blotting, and the arrangement of collagen fibers was observed after Masson staining. The normal human skin tissue collected in the abovementioned experiment was used to isolate fibroblasts (Fbs), which were divided into empty control group infected with AV-eGFP and Wnt9a overexpression group infected with AV-Wnt9a-eGFP. The protein expression of Wnt9a at 72 h after infection was detected by Western blotting; at 48 h after infection, the cell migration rate at 48 h after scratching was detected by scratch test. Additional normal human skin Fbs were collected and divided into Wnt9a specific small interfering RNA (siRNA-Wnt9a) group and negative control small interfering RNA (siRNA-NC) group, which were transfected with corresponding small interfering RNA, respectively. At 24 h after transfection, the cell migration rate at 48 h after scratching was detected by scratch test. Additional normal human skin Fbs were taken and divided into empty control group and Wnt9a overexpression group treated as before. At 72 h after infection, transcriptome sequencing was performed to screen for differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and the gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes enrichment analysis were performed. The sample number in all cell experiments was 3. Results: The results of both ELISA method and immunofluorescence method showed that the expression level of Wnt9a in human chronic wound tissue was significantly lower than that in normal skin tissue (with t values of 7.68 and 10.25, respectively, P<0.05). At 7 days after modeling, the expression level of Wnt9a in the wound tissue of mice in chronic wound group was significantly lower than that in control group (t=5.12, P<0.05). The percentages of residual wound area of mice in Wnt9a overexpression group were significantly lower than those in empty control group at 3, 7, and 14 days after modeling (with t values of 3.90, 6.62, and 5.73, respectively, P<0.05).

At 14 days after modeling, the collagen fibers in the wound tissue of mice in Wnt9a overexpression group arranged more orderly than those in empty control group. At 72 h after infection, the protein expression level of Wnt9a in cells in Wnt9a overexpression group was significantly higher than that in empty control group (t=6.96, P<0.05). At 48 h after infection, the cell migration rate in Wnt9a overexpression group was (71.6\u00b16.4)% at 48 h after scratching, which was significantly higher than (38.5\u00b12.4)% in empty control group (t=8.31, P<0.05). At 24 h after transfection, the cell migration rate in siRNA-Wnt9a group was (15.4\u00b13.2)% at 48 h after scratching, which was significantly lower than (31.9\u00b13.6)% in siRNA-NC group (t=5.93, P<0.05). At 72 h after infection, compared with that in empty control group, the significantly downregulated DEGs in cells in Wnt9a overexpression group included multiple collagen family genes, and the genes in cells in Wnt9a overexpression group were significantly enriched in the non-classical Wnt signaling pathway. Conclusions: Wnt9a expression is downregulated in chronic wound tissue of human and mice, and the overexpression of Wnt9a may promote migration of Fbs and collagen remodeling through non-classical Wnt signaling pathway, thereby accelerating chronic wound healing. \u76ee\u7684\uff1a

Gene therapy raises a prospective option to overcome the challenges posed by conventional therapeutic strategies. The CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis plays a critical role in promoting tumor cell proliferation, migration, and metastasis in PDAC. Targeted delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) against CX3CR1 through M1 phenotype macrophage extracellular vesicles is a potential strategy to achieve accurate PDAC treatment. This study sought to investigate the therapeutic potential of siRNA specifically targeting CX3CR1 in PDAC via loading into extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from M1 macrophages, evaluating its therapeutic efficacy through in vitro and in vivo experiments. The results demonstrated that siCX3CR1 was successfully incorporated into extracellular vesicles originating from M1 macrophages. M1 EV/siCX3CR1 significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of AsPC-1 cells in vitro. In the AsPC-1 subcutaneously transplanted tumor model, M1 EV/siCX3CR1 also exhibited a significant tumor-suppressive effect. Overall, the loading of siCX3CR1 into M1 EVs holds promise as a potential therapeutic approach for pancreatic cancer treatment in the future."

Here, a hierarchically engineered oral nanotherapeutic is developed based on Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG-derived bacterial nanovesicles (BNVs) for inflammatory macrophage-targeted gene silencing in colitis. The vesicles are genetically engineered to display an anti-mCD80 nanobody, loaded with siIl17ra, and further encapsulated within calcium alginate microcapsules to improve gastrointestinal protection and enable gastrointestinal protection and intestinal-fluid-associated release in the lower gut. The resulting system preserves nanoscale vesicular morphology, exhibits favorable cytocompatibility, and shows enhanced uptake by inflammatory macrophages after nanobody decoration. Following internalization, siIl17ra/CD80-BNVs effectively suppress Il17ra expression and reprogram macrophages toward a pro-repair phenotype. Microcapsule incorporation further improves siRNA retention, restrains premature release under acidic conditions, and promotes sustained release under intestinally relevant pH conditions. After oral administration, MC-siIl17ra/CD80-BNVs display enhanced colorectal retention and markedly alleviate dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis, as evidenced by reduced disease activity, attenuated histopathological injury, enhanced epithelial regeneration, decreased inflammatory mediator expression, and reduced NF-\u03baB/caspase-associated marker changes. This work establishes a microbiota-inspired oral nanomedicine platform for localized immunomodulation and mucosal repair in colitis."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42399921\nTitle: Degradable MMP9-responsive high-density lipoprotein nanoparticles enable efficient siRNA-PGRN and quercetin delivery to remodel the fibrotic microenvironment and attenuate renal fibrosis.\nAbstract: Renal fibrosis is the final common pathway of chronic kidney disease and remains a challenge due to the complex fibrotic and inflammatory microenvironment. This study aimed to develop an enzyme-responsive, fibrosis-targeted nanotherapeutic system capable of simultaneously delivering siRNA against progranulin (siPGRN) and quercetin (QT) to remodel the fibrotic microenvironment and effectively attenuate renal fibrosis. The TIMP-HDL-Nano@siPGRN&QT nanoparticles prepared in this study exhibit uniform nanoscale size (~\u2009100\u00a0nm), high encapsulation efficiency, excellent stability, and favorable biocompatibility. The MMP9-responsive modification significantly enhanced renal accumulation and fibrotic lesion targeting in vivo. Treatment with TIMP-HDL-Nano@siPGRN&QT markedly alleviated UUO-induced renal injury, apoptosis, and fibrosis, outperforming free drug. Transcriptomic and mechanistic analyses revealed that the therapeutic effects were mediated through disruption of the PGRN-PPAR\u03b1 interaction, restoration of PPAR\u03b1 signaling, and subsequent inhibition of NF-\u03baB-driven inflammatory pathways. Furthermore, the nanoparticles suppressed pro-inflammatory M1 macrophage polarization and promoted M2 polarization in a PPAR\u03b1-dependent manner. This study demonstrates that TIMP-HDL-Nano@siPGRN&QT enables efficient, targeted co-delivery of siRNA and small-molecule therapeutics to fibrotic kidneys. By remodeling the fibrotic immune microenvironment through the PGRN-PPAR\u03b1-NF-\u03baB axis, this nanoplatform provides a potent and mechanistically defined strategy for the treatment of renal fibrosis and offers translational potential for other inflammation-driven fibrotic diseases."

However, current approaches lack an effective therapeutic strategy to specifically silence this gene in lesional macrophages for atherosclerosis treatment. This study aims to develop and evaluate a dual-targeted, siRNA-based nanotherapeutic platform that selectively acts on atherosclerosis-promoting genes in plaque macrophages, offering a potential strategy for treating atherosclerosis by reprogramming lesional macrophages. Here we designed and developed dual-targeted liposome-based nano-immunotherapeutics encapsulating small interfering RNA (siRNA) against IRF5 (siIRF5) to reprogram macrophage phenotypes within advanced plaques. In high-fat diet-fed ApoE-/- mice with advanced atherosclerotic plaques, dual-targeted siIRF5-loaded liposomes effectively accumulate within lesional macrophages, downregulate IRF5 expression, and promote anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization. Moreover, this siIRF5-based nanoimmunotherapy significantly reduces plaque burden and enhances plaque stability in two independent murine models of atherosclerosis. Furthermore, this siIRF5 nanoimmunotherapy exhibits biocompatibility even after long-term administration, underscoring its translational potential for clinical application in atherosclerosis treatment. This study introduces an innovative dual-targeted siRNA-based nanotherapeutic strategy that acts on atherosclerosis-promoting genes in plaque macrophages, offering a promising therapeutic avenue for atherosclerosis and other macrophage-driven inflammatory diseases."

RNA interference offers a safe and efficient means to disrupt this pathway, highlighting the importance of developing effective siRNA delivery systems to improve antitumor efficacy. In this study, we developed a biomimetic and fusogenic liposome capable of deep tumor penetration and selective tumor cell targeting for the coordinated cytosolic delivery of CD47 and PLK1-targeting siRNAs. CD47 siRNA downregulated CD47 protein expression, suppressing the \"don't eat me\" signal, while PLK1 siRNA induced tumor cell apoptosis and enhanced the \"eat-me\" signal by facilitating the translocation of calreticulin to the cell surface. This biomimetic platform enabled efficient tumor cell specific cytosolic delivery and deep tissue penetration of siRNAs. The combined silencing strategy significantly enhanced macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of tumor cells and improved antitumor outcomes in a 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model. Overall, this study presents a biomimetic fusogenic liposomal system that amplifies macrophage phagocytosis and suppresses tumor growth, providing a promising therapeutic avenue for triple-negative breast cancer."

The most recent outbreak of EBOV in West Africa starting in 2014 resulted in over 11,300 deaths; however, long-lasting persistence and recurrence in survivors has been documented, potentially leading to further transmission of the virus. We have previously shown that exosomes from cells infected with HIV-1, HTLV-1 and Rift Valley Fever virus are able to transfer viral proteins and non-coding RNAs to na\u00efve recipient cells, resulting in an altered cellular activity. In the current manuscript, we examined the effect of Ebola structural proteins VP40, GP, NP and VLPs on recipient immune cells, as well as the effect of exosomes containing these proteins on na\u00efve immune cells. We found that VP40-transfected cells packaged VP40 into exosomes, and that these exosomes were capable of inducing apoptosis in recipient immune cells. Additionally, we show that presence of VP40 within parental cells or in exosomes delivered to na\u00efve cells could result in the regulation of RNAi machinery including Dicer, Drosha, and Ago 1, which may play a role in the induction of cell death in recipient immune cells. Exosome biogenesis was regulated by VP40 in transfected cells by increasing levels of ESCRT-II proteins EAP20 and EAP45, and exosomal marker proteins CD63 and Alix. VP40 was phosphorylated by Cdk2/Cyclin complexes at Serine 233 which could be reversed with r-Roscovitine treatment. The level of VP40-containing exosomes could also be regulated by treated cells with FDA-approved Oxytetracycline. Additionally, we utilized novel nanoparticles to safely capture VP40 and other viral proteins from Ebola VLPs spiked into human samples using SDS/reducing agents, thus minimizing the need for BSL-4 conditions for most downstream assays. Collectively, our data indicates that VP40 packaged into exosomes may be responsible for the deregulation and eventual destruction of the T-cell and myeloid arms of the immune system (bystander lymphocyte apoptosis), allowing the virus to replicate to high titers in the immunocompromised host. Moreover, our results suggest that the use of drugs such as Oxytetracycline to modulate the levels of exosomes exiting EBOV-infected cells may be able to prevent the devastation of the adaptive immune system and allow for an improved rate of survival."

Viral outbreaks and resulting pandemics have repeatedly threatened public health and questioned human preparedness at the forefront of drug design and biomedical readiness. During the recent pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2, mRNA-based vaccination strategies have paved the way for a new era of RNA therapeutics. RNA Interference (RNAi) based approach using small interfering RNA may complement clinical management of the COVID-19. RNA Interference approach will primarily work by restricting the synthesis of the proteins required for viral replication, thereby hampering viral cellular entry and trafficking by targeting host as well as protein factors. Despite promising benefits, the stability of small interfering RNA in the physiological environment is of grave concern as well as site-directed targeted delivery and evasion of the immune system require immediate attention. In this regard, nanotechnology offers viable solutions for these challenges. The review highlights the potential of small interfering RNAs targeted toward specific regions of the viral genome and the features of nanoformulations necessary for the entrapment and delivery of small interfering RNAs. In silico design of small interfering RNA for different variants of SARS-CoV-2 has been discussed. Various nanoparticles as promising carriers of small interfering RNAs along with their salient properties, including surface functionalization, are summarized.

While small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated HSP70 suppression offers a promising solution, optimal timing for this therapeutic combination remains unexplored. Here, it is demonstrated that precisely timed administration significantly enhances MPTT efficacy through systematic temporal characterization of HSP70 expression dynamics. A three-component temperature-sensitive hybrid nanocarrier (I-sR@MLNP) is developed that integrates: 1) indocyanine green dimer (ICG-II) with exceptional photothermal conversion efficiency (PTCE, 95.4%); 2) macrophage membrane-derived lipid nanoparticles for active TNBC targeting through integrin \u03b14/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) axis; and 3) HSP70-targeting siRNA to overcome thermo-resistance. This multifunctional platform enables spatiotemporally controlled co-delivery and photo-triggered release of both therapeutic agents. Through comprehensive profiling of post-release HSP70 mRNA and protein kinetics, a critical therapeutic window is identified at 36\u00a0h post-initial treatment when siRNA-mediated suppression maximally sensitized cancer cells to subsequent thermal stress. In mouse TNBC models, this temporally optimized two-phase MPTT approach achieves superior tumor reduction compared to conventional single-treatment (+87%) or non-optimized protocols (+43%). The findings establish a novel time modulated framework for enhancing nanomedicine efficacy by aligning treatment scheduling with underlying molecular kinetics-a strategy with potential applications across various siRNA-based cancer therapies where timing of intervention may significantly impact therapeutic outcomes."

Activated macrophages produce large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pro-inflammatory cytokines, which damage chondrocytes and destroy the cartilage matrix. Therefore, a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of RA is to inhibit the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and ROS to promote macrophage polarization and facilitate cartilage repair. In this paper, an active targeting nanomedicine based on metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) is constructed to re-polarize activated macrophages for RA therapy. Sr2+ and Cu2+ are first coordinated with tannic acid (TA) to prepare TSC, and TNF-\u03b1 siRNA is loaded into TSC via simple ultrasonic treatment to obtain TSSC. Finally, TSSC is coated with M1 macrophage membrane (termed as TSSC@M1) to enhance its inflammatory targeting ability. TSSC@M1 can actively target macrophages by releasing TA, Cu2+, and TNF-\u03b1 siRNA to synergistically scavenge ROS and inhibit the expression of TNF-\u03b1 to induce macrophage polarization, while Sr2+ can further protect cartilage. In the collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse model, TSSC@M1 can accumulate at inflamed joints and alleviate RA symptoms by modulating macrophage phenotype and repairing cartilage. Overall, TSSC@M1 NPs offer a promising and safe approach to treat RA."

Based on previous research, we identified interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1)-mediated macrophage pyroptosis as a potential therapeutic target for myocarditis. Herein, we fabricated an innovative immune cell membrane-coated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nano-delivery platform and explored its effects on myocarditis. ZIF-8 nanoparticles loaded with siRNA targeting IRF1 (siIRF1) were coated with a T lymphocyte-macrophage hybrid membrane (siIRF1@ZIF@HM NPs) via sonication and extrusion. The morphological and biological characteristics of the nanoparticles were evaluated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Cellular cytotoxicity was assessed by a cell counting kit-8 assay. Cellular uptake and endo-lysosomal escape in M1-differentiated macrophages were visualized via fluorescence microscopy. The targeting specificity and anti-myocarditis effects were evaluated in an experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) mouse model. The anti-pyroptosis effects were assessed by Western blot analysis both in vivo and in vitro. Transcriptional sequencing identified T lymphocytes and macrophages as suitable membrane sources. The ZIF-8 nanoparticles exhibited high siRNA loading capacity and pH responsiveness, enabling an efficient release of siIRF1 from endo-lysosomes to the cytoplasm in macrophages. The hybrid membrane coating enabled specific targeting of M1 macrophages both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, delivery of siIRF1 effectively suppressed IRF1 expression and inhibited pyroptosis in IFN-\u03b3-stimulated macrophages. Intravenous injection of siIRF1@ZIF@HM NPs significantly alleviated myocarditis progression without evident side effects. The siIRF1 nanotherapeutic approach shows potential for attenuating myocardial inflammation and mitigating myocarditis progression.

Inflammatory macrophages in the spleen are attractive therapeutic targets in systemic inflammation, yet spleen-selective delivery systems with efficient endosomal escape remain underdeveloped. Here, a structure-guided peptide engineering workflow was used to generate histidine-rich, pH-switchable endosomolytic peptides for spleen-selective siRNA delivery. Sequence design integrated pH-dependent charge transition modeling, amphipathic helix prediction, membrane interaction scoring, and safety filtering. Six candidate peptides were synthesized and evaluated for pH-responsive structure, membrane disruption, hemocompatibility, siRNA complexation, serum stability, macrophage uptake, endosomal escape, biodistribution, and anti-inflammatory efficacy. The lead peptide, HSEP-6, showed a predicted net charge increase from +3.1 at pH\u20097.4 to +7.4 at pH\u20095.5, helix content increasing from 17% to 56%, and acidic calcein release increasing from 9% to 62%.

Although dexamethasone (DEX) is commonly employed to rapidly control disease activity, its therapeutic effectiveness is often undermined by the development of glucocorticoid resistance (GCR) and cumulative systemic toxicities. Recent insights suggest that TNF-\u03b1-driven inflammation not only perpetuates joint pathology but also sustains a molecular landscape that favors GCR, underscoring an urgent need for therapeutic strategies that jointly target inflammatory signaling and steroid sensitivity. Here, we report a nanomedicine-enabled sequential therapy, in which TNF-\u03b1 specific siRNA (siTNF\u03b1) and DEX are separately encapsulated within macrophage-targeted polymersomes (MTP-T and MTP-D, respectively). Through intravenous administration of MTP-T, followed by the intraperitoneal delivery of MTP-D (designated as MTP-T/D(seq)), this sequential therapy acheives efficient knockdown of TNF-\u03b1 in inflammatory macrophages, leading to enhanced expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR), an elevated GR\u03b1/GR\u03b2 ratio, and a substantial reversal of GCR. This modulation sensitizes macrophages to DEX, enabling rapid and effective suppression of pro-inflammatory mediators while reducing toxicity. Our findings demonstrate that our sequential therapy in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse models not only mitigates joint inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction but also normalizes the M2/M1 macrophage balance, attenuating synovial hyperplasia and cartilage damage as confirmed by molecular and histological analyses. These findings validate a precision-engineered immune microenvironment remodeling strategy that restores glucocorticoid responsiveness and confers potent therapeutic benefits, offering a compelling blueprint for overcoming steroid resistance in RA."

However, delivering siRNA with site-targeted stability and therapeutic efficacy is still challenging due to the complex and dynamic intestinal microenvironment. Here, based on the functional plant-derived ginger extracellular vesicles (EVs) and porous ZIF-8 nanoparticles, we propose a novel TNF-\u03b1 siRNA delivery strategy (EVs@ZIF-8@siRNA) for UC targeted therapy. Ginger EVs show strong colon and macrophage targeting, as well as robust resistance to acidic degradation in the stomach. Moreover, 6-shogaol in ginger-derived EVs displays anti-inflammatory effects, which enhance the treatment efficiency by cooperation with TNF-\u03b1 siRNA. In vitro experiments reveal that ZIF-8 nanoparticles have high TNF-\u03b1 siRNA loading capacity and promote siRNA escape from cellular lysosomes.

Furthermore, gut microbiota sequencing results demonstrate that the nanoparticles can promote intestinal barrier repair by regulating the intestinal microbial balance and restoring the intestinal health of UC mice.

Here, a hierarchically engineered oral nanotherapeutic is developed based on Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG-derived bacterial nanovesicles (BNVs) for inflammatory macrophage-targeted gene silencing in colitis. The vesicles are genetically engineered to display an anti-mCD80 nanobody, loaded with siIl17ra, and further encapsulated within calcium alginate microcapsules to improve gastrointestinal protection and enable gastrointestinal protection and intestinal-fluid-associated release in the lower gut. The resulting system preserves nanoscale vesicular morphology, exhibits favorable cytocompatibility, and shows enhanced uptake by inflammatory macrophages after nanobody decoration. Following internalization, siIl17ra/CD80-BNVs effectively suppress Il17ra expression and reprogram macrophages toward a pro-repair phenotype. Microcapsule incorporation further improves siRNA retention, restrains premature release under acidic conditions, and promotes sustained release under intestinally relevant pH conditions. After oral administration, MC-siIl17ra/CD80-BNVs display enhanced colorectal retention and markedly alleviate dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis, as evidenced by reduced disease activity, attenuated histopathological injury, enhanced epithelial regeneration, decreased inflammatory mediator expression, and reduced NF-\u03baB/caspase-associated marker changes.

Viral outbreaks and resulting pandemics have repeatedly threatened public health and questioned human preparedness at the forefront of drug design and biomedical readiness. During the recent pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2, mRNA-based vaccination strategies have paved the way for a new era of RNA therapeutics. RNA Interference (RNAi) based approach using small interfering RNA may complement clinical management of the COVID-19. RNA Interference approach will primarily work by restricting the synthesis of the proteins required for viral replication, thereby hampering viral cellular entry and trafficking by targeting host as well as protein factors. Despite promising benefits, the stability of small interfering RNA in the physiological environment is of grave concern as well as site-directed targeted delivery and evasion of the immune system require immediate attention. In this regard, nanotechnology offers viable solutions for these challenges. The review highlights the potential of small interfering RNAs targeted toward specific regions of the viral genome and the features of nanoformulations necessary for the entrapment and delivery of small interfering RNAs. In silico design of small interfering RNA for different variants of SARS-CoV-2 has been discussed. Various nanoparticles as promising carriers of small interfering RNAs along with their salient properties, including surface functionalization, are summarized. This review will help tackle the real-world challenges encountered by the in vivo delivery of small interfering RNAs, ensuring a safe, stable, and readily available drug candidate for efficient management of SARS-CoV-2 in the future."

Gene therapy raises a prospective option to overcome the challenges posed by conventional therapeutic strategies. The CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis plays a critical role in promoting tumor cell proliferation, migration, and metastasis in PDAC. Targeted delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) against CX3CR1 through M1 phenotype macrophage extracellular vesicles is a potential strategy to achieve accurate PDAC treatment. This study sought to investigate the therapeutic potential of siRNA specifically targeting CX3CR1 in PDAC via loading into extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from M1 macrophages, evaluating its therapeutic efficacy through in vitro and in vivo experiments. The results demonstrated that siCX3CR1 was successfully incorporated into extracellular vesicles originating from M1 macrophages. M1 EV/siCX3CR1 significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of AsPC-1 cells in vitro. In the AsPC-1 subcutaneously transplanted tumor model, M1 EV/siCX3CR1 also exhibited a significant tumor-suppressive effect. Overall, the loading of siCX3CR1 into M1 EVs holds promise as a potential therapeutic approach for pancreatic cancer treatment in the future."

Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) is highly expressed in lesional macrophages within advanced atherosclerotic plaques, where it promotes the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, current approaches lack an effective therapeutic strategy to specifically silence this gene in lesional macrophages for atherosclerosis treatment. This study aims to develop and evaluate a dual-targeted, siRNA-based nanotherapeutic platform that selectively acts on atherosclerosis-promoting genes in plaque macrophages, offering a potential strategy for treating atherosclerosis by reprogramming lesional macrophages. Here we designed and developed dual-targeted liposome-based nano-immunotherapeutics encapsulating small interfering RNA (siRNA) against IRF5 (siIRF5) to reprogram macrophage phenotypes within advanced plaques. In high-fat diet-fed ApoE-/- mice with advanced atherosclerotic plaques, dual-targeted siIRF5-loaded liposomes effectively accumulate within lesional macrophages, downregulate IRF5 expression, and promote anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization. Moreover, this siIRF5-based nanoimmunotherapy significantly reduces plaque burden and enhances plaque stability in two independent murine models of atherosclerosis. Furthermore, this siIRF5 nanoimmunotherapy exhibits biocompatibility even after long-term administration, underscoring its translational potential for clinical application in atherosclerosis treatment. This study introduces an innovative dual-targeted siRNA-based nanotherapeutic strategy that acts on atherosclerosis-promoting genes in plaque macrophages, offering a promising therapeutic avenue for atherosclerosis and other macrophage-driven inflammatory diseases."

This study aimed to develop an enzyme-responsive, fibrosis-targeted nanotherapeutic system capable of simultaneously delivering siRNA against progranulin (siPGRN) and quercetin (QT) to remodel the fibrotic microenvironment and effectively attenuate renal fibrosis. The TIMP-HDL-Nano@siPGRN&QT nanoparticles prepared in this study exhibit uniform nanoscale size (~\u2009100\u00a0nm), high encapsulation efficiency, excellent stability, and favorable biocompatibility. The MMP9-responsive modification significantly enhanced renal accumulation and fibrotic lesion targeting in vivo.

The most recent outbreak of EBOV in West Africa starting in 2014 resulted in over 11,300 deaths; however, long-lasting persistence and recurrence in survivors has been documented, potentially leading to further transmission of the virus. We have previously shown that exosomes from cells infected with HIV-1, HTLV-1 and Rift Valley Fever virus are able to transfer viral proteins and non-coding RNAs to na\u00efve recipient cells, resulting in an altered cellular activity. In the current manuscript, we examined the effect of Ebola structural proteins VP40, GP, NP and VLPs on recipient immune cells, as well as the effect of exosomes containing these proteins on na\u00efve immune cells. We found that VP40-transfected cells packaged VP40 into exosomes, and that these exosomes were capable of inducing apoptosis in recipient immune cells. Additionally, we show that presence of VP40 within parental cells or in exosomes delivered to na\u00efve cells could result in the regulation of RNAi machinery including Dicer, Drosha, and Ago 1, which may play a role in the induction of cell death in recipient immune cells. Exosome biogenesis was regulated by VP40 in transfected cells by increasing levels of ESCRT-II proteins EAP20 and EAP45, and exosomal marker proteins CD63 and Alix. VP40 was phosphorylated by Cdk2/Cyclin complexes at Serine 233 which could be reversed with r-Roscovitine treatment. The level of VP40-containing exosomes could also be regulated by treated cells with FDA-approved Oxytetracycline. Additionally, we utilized novel nanoparticles to safely capture VP40 and other viral proteins from Ebola VLPs spiked into human samples using SDS/reducing agents, thus minimizing the need for BSL-4 conditions for most downstream assays. Collectively, our data indicates that VP40 packaged into exosomes may be responsible for the deregulation and eventual destruction of the T-cell and myeloid arms of the immune system (bystander lymphocyte apoptosis), allowing the virus to replicate to high titers in the immunocompromised host. Moreover, our results suggest that the use of drugs such as Oxytetracycline to modulate the levels of exosomes exiting EBOV-infected cells may be able to prevent the devastation of the adaptive immune system and allow for an improved rate of survival."

While small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated HSP70 suppression offers a promising solution, optimal timing for this therapeutic combination remains unexplored. Here, it is demonstrated that precisely timed administration significantly enhances MPTT efficacy through systematic temporal characterization of HSP70 expression dynamics. A three-component temperature-sensitive hybrid nanocarrier (I-sR@MLNP) is developed that integrates: 1) indocyanine green dimer (ICG-II) with exceptional photothermal conversion efficiency (PTCE, 95.4%); 2) macrophage membrane-derived lipid nanoparticles for active TNBC targeting through integrin \u03b14/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) axis; and 3) HSP70-targeting siRNA to overcome thermo-resistance. This multifunctional platform enables spatiotemporally controlled co-delivery and photo-triggered release of both therapeutic agents. Through comprehensive profiling of post-release HSP70 mRNA and protein kinetics, a critical therapeutic window is identified at 36\u00a0h post-initial treatment when siRNA-mediated suppression maximally sensitized cancer cells to subsequent thermal stress. In mouse TNBC models, this temporally optimized two-phase MPTT approach achieves superior tumor reduction compared to conventional single-treatment (+87%) or non-optimized protocols (+43%). The findings establish a novel time modulated framework for enhancing nanomedicine efficacy by aligning treatment scheduling with underlying molecular kinetics-a strategy with potential applications across various siRNA-based cancer therapies where timing of intervention may significantly impact therapeutic outcomes."

Activated macrophages produce large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pro-inflammatory cytokines, which damage chondrocytes and destroy the cartilage matrix. Therefore, a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of RA is to inhibit the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and ROS to promote macrophage polarization and facilitate cartilage repair. In this paper, an active targeting nanomedicine based on metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) is constructed to re-polarize activated macrophages for RA therapy. Sr2+ and Cu2+ are first coordinated with tannic acid (TA) to prepare TSC, and TNF-\u03b1 siRNA is loaded into TSC via simple ultrasonic treatment to obtain TSSC. Finally, TSSC is coated with M1 macrophage membrane (termed as TSSC@M1) to enhance its inflammatory targeting ability. TSSC@M1 can actively target macrophages by releasing TA, Cu2+, and TNF-\u03b1 siRNA to synergistically scavenge ROS and inhibit the expression of TNF-\u03b1 to induce macrophage polarization, while Sr2+ can further protect cartilage. In the collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse model, TSSC@M1 can accumulate at inflamed joints and alleviate RA symptoms by modulating macrophage phenotype and repairing cartilage. Overall, TSSC@M1 NPs offer a promising and safe approach to treat RA."

Herein, we fabricated an innovative immune cell membrane-coated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nano-delivery platform and explored its effects on myocarditis. ZIF-8 nanoparticles loaded with siRNA targeting IRF1 (siIRF1) were coated with a T lymphocyte-macrophage hybrid membrane (siIRF1@ZIF@HM NPs) via sonication and extrusion. The morphological and biological characteristics of the nanoparticles were evaluated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Cellular cytotoxicity was assessed by a cell counting kit-8 assay. Cellular uptake and endo-lysosomal escape in M1-differentiated macrophages were visualized via fluorescence microscopy. The targeting specificity and anti-myocarditis effects were evaluated in an experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) mouse model. The anti-pyroptosis effects were assessed by Western blot analysis both in vivo and in vitro. Transcriptional sequencing identified T lymphocytes and macrophages as suitable membrane sources. The ZIF-8 nanoparticles exhibited high siRNA loading capacity and pH responsiveness, enabling an efficient release of siIRF1 from endo-lysosomes to the cytoplasm in macrophages. The hybrid membrane coating enabled specific targeting of M1 macrophages both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, delivery of siIRF1 effectively suppressed IRF1 expression and inhibited pyroptosis in IFN-\u03b3-stimulated macrophages.

Inflammatory macrophages in the spleen are attractive therapeutic targets in systemic inflammation, yet spleen-selective delivery systems with efficient endosomal escape remain underdeveloped. Here, a structure-guided peptide engineering workflow was used to generate histidine-rich, pH-switchable endosomolytic peptides for spleen-selective siRNA delivery. Sequence design integrated pH-dependent charge transition modeling, amphipathic helix prediction, membrane interaction scoring, and safety filtering. Six candidate peptides were synthesized and evaluated for pH-responsive structure, membrane disruption, hemocompatibility, siRNA complexation, serum stability, macrophage uptake, endosomal escape, biodistribution, and anti-inflammatory efficacy. The lead peptide, HSEP-6, showed a predicted net charge increase from +3.1 at pH\u20097.4 to +7.4 at pH\u20095.5, helix content increasing from 17% to 56%, and acidic calcein release increasing from 9% to 62%. In inflammatory macrophages and LPS-challenged mice, HSEP-6 enabled efficient siRNA delivery, spleen-selective accumulation, marked Irf5 silencing, reduced TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6, and no measurable systemic toxicity, supporting histidine-rich pH-switchable peptides as a rational platform for extrahepatic RNA delivery."

Although dexamethasone (DEX) is commonly employed to rapidly control disease activity, its therapeutic effectiveness is often undermined by the development of glucocorticoid resistance (GCR) and cumulative systemic toxicities. Recent insights suggest that TNF-\u03b1-driven inflammation not only perpetuates joint pathology but also sustains a molecular landscape that favors GCR, underscoring an urgent need for therapeutic strategies that jointly target inflammatory signaling and steroid sensitivity. Here, we report a nanomedicine-enabled sequential therapy, in which TNF-\u03b1 specific siRNA (siTNF\u03b1) and DEX are separately encapsulated within macrophage-targeted polymersomes (MTP-T and MTP-D, respectively). Through intravenous administration of MTP-T, followed by the intraperitoneal delivery of MTP-D (designated as MTP-T/D(seq)), this sequential therapy acheives efficient knockdown of TNF-\u03b1 in inflammatory macrophages, leading to enhanced expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR), an elevated GR\u03b1/GR\u03b2 ratio, and a substantial reversal of GCR. This modulation sensitizes macrophages to DEX, enabling rapid and effective suppression of pro-inflammatory mediators while reducing toxicity.

Whether MLAV poses a threat to human health is uncertain. However, the MLAV VP35 and VP40 proteins can impair IFN\u03b1/\u03b2 gene expression and block IFN\u03b1/\u03b2-induced Jak-STAT signaling, respectively, suggesting the capacity to counteract human innate immune defenses. In this study, MLAV VP40 is demonstrated to impair the Sendai virus (SeV)-induced activation of the IFN\u03b2 promoter. Inhibition is independent of the MLAV VP40 PPPY late-domain motif that interacts with host proteins possessing WW-domains to promote viral budding. Similar IFN\u03b2 promoter inhibition was not detected for EBOV or MARV VP40. MLAV VP40 exhibited lesser capacity to inhibit TNF\u03b1 activation of an NF-\u03baB reporter gene. MLAV VP40 impaired IFN\u03b2 promoter activation by an over-expressed, constitutively active form of RIG-I and by the over-expressed IRF3 kinases TBK1 and IKK\u03b5.

EBOV inhibits IFN signaling via its VP24 protein which blocks the nuclear accumulation of tyrosine phosphorylated STAT1. In contrast, MARV infection inhibits IFNalpha/beta induced tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT2. MARV infection is now demonstrated to inhibit not only IFNalpha/beta but also IFNgamma-induced STAT phosphorylation and to inhibit the IFNalpha/beta and IFNgamma-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of upstream Janus (Jak) family kinases. Surprisingly, the MARV matrix protein VP40, not the MARV VP24 protein, has been identified to antagonize Jak and STAT tyrosine phosphorylation, to inhibit IFNalpha/beta or IFNgamma-induced gene expression and to inhibit the induction of an antiviral state by IFNalpha/beta. Global loss of STAT and Jak tyrosine phosphorylation in response to both IFNalpha/beta and IFNgamma is reminiscent of the phenotype seen in Jak1-null cells. Consistent with this model, MARV infection and MARV VP40 expression also inhibit the Jak1-dependent, IL-6-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT3. Finally, expression of MARV VP40 is able to prevent the tyrosine phosphorylation of Jak1, STAT1, STAT2 or STAT3 which occurs following over-expression of the Jak1 kinase. In contrast, MARV VP40 does not detectably inhibit the tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT2 or Tyk2 when Tyk2 is over-expressed. Mutation of the VP40 late domain, essential for efficient VP40 budding, has no detectable impact on inhibition of IFN signaling. This study shows that MARV inhibits IFN signaling by a mechanism different from that employed by the related EBOV. It identifies a novel function for the MARV VP40 protein and suggests that MARV may globally inhibit Jak1-dependent cytokine signaling."

Although plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) hold therapeutic potential for immunomodulation, their clinical application is limited by poor stability and inefficient delivery. Here, we developed cholesterol-modified nanovesicles (CHOL@CDNVs) from Clematis filamentosa Dunn (CDNVs), a medicinal plant with documented anti-inflammatory properties. Using a thin-film hydration-extrusion method, low-concentration cholesterol modification enhanced the colloidal stability of the vesicles and increased macrophage uptake by 1.6-fold while preserving their ROS scavenging capacity. CHOL@CDNVs effectively suppressed M1 polarization and the secretion of TNF-\u03b1/IL-1\u03b2, while inducing M2 reprogramming. In an LPS-induced ALI mouse model, CHOL@CDNVs administration reduced pulmonary edema (37% lower wet/dry weight ratio) and fibrosis (67% reduction in collagen deposition) without inducing hepatotoxicity. These therapeutic effects were mediated by a shift from M1 to M2 macrophage polarization and the resolution of inflammatory properties. This study establishes cholesterol modification as a dual-functional strategy that simultaneously enhances the stability and immunoregulatory efficacy of plant-derived nanovesicles, offering a promising advance toward precision therapy for ALI/ARDS."

Angiomotin (Amot) is a multifunctional PPxY-containing adaptor protein that regulates angiogenesis, actin dynamics, and cell migration/motility. Amot also regulates the Hippo signaling pathway via interactions with the WW-domain-containing Hippo effector protein Yes-associated protein (YAP). In this report, we demonstrate that endogenous Amot is crucial for positively regulating egress of eVP40 virus-like particles (VLPs) and for egress and spread of authentic EBOV. Mechanistically, we show that ectopic YAP expression inhibits eVP40 VLP egress and that Amot co-expression rescues budding of eVP40 VLPs in a dose-dependent and PPxY-dependent manner. Moreover, results obtained with confocal and total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy suggested that Amot's role in actin organization and dynamics also contributes to promoting eVP40-mediated egress. In summary, these findings reveal a functional and competitive interplay between virus and host proteins involving the multifunctional PPxY-containing adaptor Amot, which regulates both the Hippo pathway and actin dynamics. We propose that our results have wide-ranging implications for understanding the biology and pathology of EBOV infections."

After infection, the resulting EBOV disease results in high levels of circulating cytokines, endothelial dysfunction, coagulopathy, and bystander lymphocyte apoptosis in humans and nonhuman primates. The VP40 matrix protein of EBOV is essential for viral assembly and budding from the host cell. Recent data have shown that VP40 exists in the extracellular environment, including in exosomes, and exosomal VP40 can impact the viability of recipient immune cells, including myeloid and T cells, through the regulation of the RNAi and endosomal sorting complexes required for transport pathways. In this study, we discuss the latest findings of the impact of exosomal VP40 on immune cells in vitro and its potential implications for pathogenesis in vivo."

The filovirus VP40 matrix protein is essential for virus assembly and budding, and its PPxY L-domain motif interacts with WW-domains of specific host proteins, such as Nedd4 and ITCH, to facilitate the late stage of virus-cell separation. To identify additional WW-domain-bearing host proteins that interact with VP40, we used an EBOV PPxY-containing peptide to screen an array of 115 mammalian WW-domain-bearing proteins. Using this unbiased approach, we identified BCL2 Associated Athanogene 3 (BAG3), a member of the BAG family of molecular chaperone proteins, as a specific VP40 PPxY interactor. Here, we demonstrate that the WW-domain of BAG3 interacts with the PPxY motif of both EBOV and MARV VP40 and, unexpectedly, inhibits budding of both eVP40 and mVP40 virus-like particles (VLPs), as well as infectious VSV-EBOV recombinants. BAG3 is a stress induced protein that regulates cellular protein homeostasis and cell survival through chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). Interestingly, our results show that BAG3 alters the intracellular localization of VP40 by sequestering VP40 away from the plasma membrane. As BAG3 is the first WW-domain interactor identified that negatively regulates budding of VP40 VLPs and infectious virus, we propose that the chaperone-mediated autophagy function of BAG3 represents a specific host defense strategy to counteract the function of VP40 in promoting efficient egress and spread of virus particles."

Because of its high mortality and ease of transmission from human to human, Ebola virus remains a biological threat for which effective preventive and therapeutic interventions are needed. An understanding of the mechanisms of Ebola virus pathogenesis is critical for developing antiviral therapeutics. Here, we report that productive replication of Ebola virus is modulated by the c-Abl1 tyrosine kinase. Release of Ebola virus-like particles (VLPs) in a cell culture cotransfection system was inhibited by c-Abl1-specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) or by Abl-specific kinase inhibitors and required tyrosine phosphorylation of the Ebola matrix protein VP40. Expression of c-Abl1 stimulated an increase in phosphorylation of tyrosine 13 (Y(13)) of VP40, and mutation of Y(13) to alanine decreased the release of Ebola VLPs. Productive replication of the highly pathogenic Ebola virus Zaire strain was inhibited by c-Abl1-specific siRNAs or by the Abl-family inhibitor nilotinib by up to four orders of magnitude. These data indicate that c-Abl1 regulates budding or release of filoviruses through a mechanism involving phosphorylation of VP40. This step of the virus life cycle therefore may represent a target for antiviral therapy."

To determine whether Ebolavirus (EBOV) counters RNAi by encoding suppressors of RNA silencing (SRSs), we screened all EBOV proteins using an RNAi assay initiated by exogenously delivered small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) against either an EBOV or a reporter gene. In addition to viral protein 35 (VP35), we found that VP30 and VP40 independently act as SRSs. Here, we present the molecular mechanisms of VP30 and VP35. VP30 interacts with Dicer independently of siRNA and with one Dicer partner, TRBP, only in the presence of siRNA. VP35 directly interacts with Dicer partners TRBP and PACT in an siRNA-independent fashion and in the absence of effects on interferon (IFN). Taken together, our findings elucidate a new mechanism of RNAi suppression that extends beyond the role of SRSs in double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) binding and IFN antagonism. The presence of three suppressors highlights the relevance of host RNAi-dependent antiviral immunity in EBOV infection and illustrates the importance of RNAi in shaping the evolution of RNA viruses."

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising alternative due to their immunomodulatory properties; however, whole-cell therapies have certain limitations. MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), including small vesicles-exosomes-have emerged as a safe cell-free therapeutic platform capable of crossing biological barriers and delivering bioactive cargo with low immunogenicity. Various types of RNAs abundantly produced by host MSCs represent a key element of EV content. In particular, EVs carry small RNAs, which essentially determine cellular life and fate. Our review provides a comprehensive mechanistic framework for the use of RNA-loaded EVs, specifically those carrying microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs), in restoring immune homeostasis. We detail the biogenesis and molecular mechanisms governing sorting of RNA into EVs, along with endogenous and exogenous engineering strategies to enhance therapeutic potency. We examine how RNA-loaded EVs modulate immunological processes like reprogramming of macrophage M1-M2 polarization, Th17/Treg balance, and suppression of inflammatory signaling pathways such as NF-\u03baB and the NLRP3 inflammasome.

However, CSCs are mainly localized in the deep and hypoxic regions of the tumour microenvironment that hinder drug penetration. Furthermore, their overexpression of the CD24/Siglec10 immune checkpoint axis markedly suppresses immune clearance, severely limiting the efficacy of current therapeutic strategies. To address this challenge, this study developed an in situ engineered \"cascade-amplified\" drug-loaded vesicle delivery system, aiming to achieve deep drug delivery into CSC-enriched regions and enhance anti-tumour immune responses. Based on a biomimetic \"core-shell\" nanoplatform (siXkr8/Dox@PMLC), this system initiates a cascade within the TME where Doxorubicin (Dox) induces tumour cells to generate drug-loaded apoptotic bodies (ApoBDs). These ApoBDs serve as primary vesicles that, upon uptake by adjacent tumour cells, trigger secondary apoptosis, establishing a \"cascade-amplified\" cycle of enhanced drug delivery. Meanwhile, the silencing of the phospholipid scramblase Xkr8 via siRNA inhibits phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure on the surface of ApoBDs, thereby preventing their recognition and clearance by M2-type macrophages and facilitating immune phenotype remodelling. Furthermore, through targeted blockade of the CD24/Siglec-10 immune axis, the nanoplatform enhances macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of CSCs. In summary, this strategy achieves deep eradication of CSCs and synergistically enhances anti-tumour immunotherapy, demonstrating significant translational potential."

However, despite growing interest, the development of ELNs for nucleic acid delivery remains a formidable challenge, compounded by diverse production methods and a lack of systematic approaches to optimize their formulation and performance. This study employed a Box-Behnken design and two fabrication methods: freeze-thaw and sonication, to optimize the formulation of ELNs derived from exosomes of five distinct cancer cells. Formulation criteria focused on maximizing the fusion efficiency while minimizing particle size. The impact of the fusion method on cellular association and gene silencing of promising therapeutic targets, CD24, CD44, and CD47, was evaluated. The optimized formulations were subsequently assessed for therapeutic efficacy in 4T1 and B16F10 tumor models. Through careful manipulation of formulation variables, we obtained optimal ELNs with fusion efficiencies exceeding 50% and particle sizes under 170 nm while preserving exosomal markers CD9, CD63, and CD81. Cellular association studies revealed that ELNs specifically targeted their parental cell line, achieving \u223c2.5-fold higher siRNA association compared to LNPs. Furthermore, the optimized ELNs facilitated the delivery of therapeutic siRNAs, resulting in robust gene silencing and consequently improved the in vitro macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of treated cancer cells.

In vivo efficacy was assessed in syngeneic and humanized mouse models of triple-negative breast cancer, including postoperative recurrence and lung metastasis models. Systemic administration of M-LNP/CAR+R848 induced robust CAR expression in tumor-associated macrophages and promoted sustained M1 polarization.

Here we show that TMEM16A and MCP-1, key mediators of cyst-lining epithelial expansion and inflammatory macrophage recruitment respectively, are consistently upregulated in cyst-lining collecting duct (CD) epithelia across murine, porcine, and human ADPKD models. In human ADPKD patient cells, although individual silencing of TMEM16A or MCP-1 transcripts reduced cyst growth, combined silencing produced superior therapeutic efficacy, establishing the rationale for evaluating dual-target delivery. To achieve dual gene silencing in the kidneys, we delivered Tmem16a and Mcp-1 siRNA using peptide amphiphile micelles (PAMs), an ultrasmall nanoparticle platform that enables efficient renal targeting. To redirect siRNA-loaded PAMs to CD epithelia, we functionalized their surface with a CD-targeting peptide (CDM), which enabled preferential accumulation in cyst-lining CD epithelia. In an inducible Pkd1-deficient mouse model, co-delivery of CDMs loaded with Tmem16a and Mcp-1 siRNA reduced kidney enlargement, cystic burden, tubular injury, and macrophage infiltration, with efficacy exceeding non-targeted siRNA delivery at equivalent doses. CDM demonstrated enhanced uptake in primary human ADPKD patient-derived CD cells and dual gene silencing reduced target gene expression and cyst expansion, establishing translational relevance. These findings establish CD peptide-functionalized micelles as a route to cell-type-selective RNAi in the kidney, delivering siRNA to cyst-lining CD cells. Furthermore, because both targets, TMEM16A and MCP-1, are transcribed within CD cells, our siRNA-loaded CD-targeting micelles silence two drivers of cyst expansion, and their simultaneous suppression represents an effective therapeutic strategy for ADPKD."

Exosomes, which are extracellular vesicles (30-150 nm) that play a key role in intercellular communication, have a dual role in HIV-1 pathogenesis and therapy.

Conversely, host cells utilize exosomes to mount antiviral defense by packaging and transmitting restriction factors, such as APOBEC3G, to recipient cells. Furthermore, exosomal cargo serves as promising biomarkers for disease monitoring, and exosomes themselves are emerging as versatile therapeutic nanocarriers.

The review evaluates the potential of hollow nanoparticles as immunomodulatory therapies for septic shock, focusing on lipid-based, polymeric, protein-based, biomimetic, inorganic, carbon-based, and hybrid nanoparticle platforms. Current evidence suggests that these systems can modulate key pathological processes through reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) scavenging, regulation of inflammatory signaling, macrophage modulation, neutralization of bacterial toxins and antigens, and, in some cases, direct antimicrobial activity. Among the available platforms, lipid-based and biomimetic nanoparticles appear to possess the greatest translational potential owing to their favorable immunomodulatory properties and improved biocompatibility. Nonetheless, several challenges continue to limit clinical translation, including nanoparticle-associated systemic and organ toxicity, unintended immunogenicity, limited long-term safety data, and the lack of standardized comparative studies across nanoparticle classes. Despite these limitations, the progression of VBI-S, a phospholipid nanoparticle formulation, to Phase III clinical evaluation highlights the growing clinical feasibility of such nanoparticle-based approaches for septic shock.

Host-directed therapeutic approaches are increasingly recognized as promising alternatives. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is an immunomodulatory molecule with host-dependent effects on macrophage function; however, its therapeutic use is hindered by instability and poor solubility. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) offer a controlled and biocompatible delivery platform capable of enhancing intracellular drug accumulation. ATRA-loaded SLNs were prepared and characterized for size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and morphology. Their antileishmanial activity was evaluated against extracellular L. infantum promastigotes, noninfected RAW 264.7 macrophages, and L. infantum-infected macrophages using resazurin-based assays and xCELLigence real-time cell analysis. Neither free ATRA nor ATRA-loaded SLNs exhibited significant inhibitory activity against extracellular promastigotes at concentrations up to 75 \u03bcM. In contrast, both forms of ATRA demonstrated marked dose-dependent inhibition in infected macrophages, with a significantly enhanced intracellular response observed in the SLN formulation, while maintaining excellent biocompatibility in noninfected macrophages. Enhanced uptake and sustained intracellular release are likely contributors to the improved efficacy of the SLN system. The findings reveal that ATRA exerts its antileishmanial activity primarily through host-dependent mechanisms that become apparent within infected macrophages, and that encapsulation into SLNs markedly amplifies this intracellular effect while preserving cell viability. ATRA-loaded SLNs thus represent a promising host-directed therapeutic strategy for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis."

Exosomes, naturally secreted extracellular vesicles, provide biocompatible carriers that protect siRNA from enzymatic degradation and facilitate efficient uptake by tumor cells.

Engineering approaches, including surface functionalization and hybrid exosome-nanoparticle systems, further enhance stability, payload capacity, and tumor-homing efficiency. Combination strategies with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or phototherapy have shown synergistic effects, allowing simultaneous inhibition of survival pathways, promotion of apoptosis, and remodeling of the immunosuppressive microenvironment.

Although plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) hold therapeutic potential for immunomodulation, their clinical application is limited by poor stability and inefficient delivery. Here, we developed cholesterol-modified nanovesicles (CHOL@CDNVs) from Clematis filamentosa Dunn (CDNVs), a medicinal plant with documented anti-inflammatory properties. Using a thin-film hydration-extrusion method, low-concentration cholesterol modification enhanced the colloidal stability of the vesicles and increased macrophage uptake by 1.6-fold while preserving their ROS scavenging capacity. CHOL@CDNVs effectively suppressed M1 polarization and the secretion of TNF-\u03b1/IL-1\u03b2, while inducing M2 reprogramming. In an LPS-induced ALI mouse model, CHOL@CDNVs administration reduced pulmonary edema (37% lower wet/dry weight ratio) and fibrosis (67% reduction in collagen deposition) without inducing hepatotoxicity. These therapeutic effects were mediated by a shift from M1 to M2 macrophage polarization and the resolution of inflammatory properties. This study establishes cholesterol modification as a dual-functional strategy that simultaneously enhances the stability and immunoregulatory efficacy of plant-derived nanovesicles, offering a promising advance toward precision therapy for ALI/ARDS."

Angiomotin (Amot) is a multifunctional PPxY-containing adaptor protein that regulates angiogenesis, actin dynamics, and cell migration/motility. Amot also regulates the Hippo signaling pathway via interactions with the WW-domain-containing Hippo effector protein Yes-associated protein (YAP). In this report, we demonstrate that endogenous Amot is crucial for positively regulating egress of eVP40 virus-like particles (VLPs) and for egress and spread of authentic EBOV. Mechanistically, we show that ectopic YAP expression inhibits eVP40 VLP egress and that Amot co-expression rescues budding of eVP40 VLPs in a dose-dependent and PPxY-dependent manner. Moreover, results obtained with confocal and total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy suggested that Amot's role in actin organization and dynamics also contributes to promoting eVP40-mediated egress. In summary, these findings reveal a functional and competitive interplay between virus and host proteins involving the multifunctional PPxY-containing adaptor Amot, which regulates both the Hippo pathway and actin dynamics. We propose that our results have wide-ranging implications for understanding the biology and pathology of EBOV infections."

The VP40 matrix protein of EBOV is essential for viral assembly and budding from the host cell.

The filovirus VP40 matrix protein is essential for virus assembly and budding, and its PPxY L-domain motif interacts with WW-domains of specific host proteins, such as Nedd4 and ITCH, to facilitate the late stage of virus-cell separation. To identify additional WW-domain-bearing host proteins that interact with VP40, we used an EBOV PPxY-containing peptide to screen an array of 115 mammalian WW-domain-bearing proteins. Using this unbiased approach, we identified BCL2 Associated Athanogene 3 (BAG3), a member of the BAG family of molecular chaperone proteins, as a specific VP40 PPxY interactor. Here, we demonstrate that the WW-domain of BAG3 interacts with the PPxY motif of both EBOV and MARV VP40 and, unexpectedly, inhibits budding of both eVP40 and mVP40 virus-like particles (VLPs), as well as infectious VSV-EBOV recombinants. BAG3 is a stress induced protein that regulates cellular protein homeostasis and cell survival through chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). Interestingly, our results show that BAG3 alters the intracellular localization of VP40 by sequestering VP40 away from the plasma membrane. As BAG3 is the first WW-domain interactor identified that negatively regulates budding of VP40 VLPs and infectious virus, we propose that the chaperone-mediated autophagy function of BAG3 represents a specific host defense strategy to counteract the function of VP40 in promoting efficient egress and spread of virus particles."

Because of its high mortality and ease of transmission from human to human, Ebola virus remains a biological threat for which effective preventive and therapeutic interventions are needed. An understanding of the mechanisms of Ebola virus pathogenesis is critical for developing antiviral therapeutics. Here, we report that productive replication of Ebola virus is modulated by the c-Abl1 tyrosine kinase. Release of Ebola virus-like particles (VLPs) in a cell culture cotransfection system was inhibited by c-Abl1-specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) or by Abl-specific kinase inhibitors and required tyrosine phosphorylation of the Ebola matrix protein VP40. Expression of c-Abl1 stimulated an increase in phosphorylation of tyrosine 13 (Y(13)) of VP40, and mutation of Y(13) to alanine decreased the release of Ebola VLPs. Productive replication of the highly pathogenic Ebola virus Zaire strain was inhibited by c-Abl1-specific siRNAs or by the Abl-family inhibitor nilotinib by up to four orders of magnitude. These data indicate that c-Abl1 regulates budding or release of filoviruses through a mechanism involving phosphorylation of VP40.

To determine whether Ebolavirus (EBOV) counters RNAi by encoding suppressors of RNA silencing (SRSs), we screened all EBOV proteins using an RNAi assay initiated by exogenously delivered small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) against either an EBOV or a reporter gene. In addition to viral protein 35 (VP35), we found that VP30 and VP40 independently act as SRSs. Here, we present the molecular mechanisms of VP30 and VP35. VP30 interacts with Dicer independently of siRNA and with one Dicer partner, TRBP, only in the presence of siRNA. VP35 directly interacts with Dicer partners TRBP and PACT in an siRNA-independent fashion and in the absence of effects on interferon (IFN). Taken together, our findings elucidate a new mechanism of RNAi suppression that extends beyond the role of SRSs in double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) binding and IFN antagonism. The presence of three suppressors highlights the relevance of host RNAi-dependent antiviral immunity in EBOV infection and illustrates the importance of RNAi in shaping the evolution of RNA viruses."

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising alternative due to their immunomodulatory properties; however, whole-cell therapies have certain limitations. MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), including small vesicles-exosomes-have emerged as a safe cell-free therapeutic platform capable of crossing biological barriers and delivering bioactive cargo with low immunogenicity.

Our review provides a comprehensive mechanistic framework for the use of RNA-loaded EVs, specifically those carrying microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs), in restoring immune homeostasis. We detail the biogenesis and molecular mechanisms governing sorting of RNA into EVs, along with endogenous and exogenous engineering strategies to enhance therapeutic potency.

However, despite growing interest, the development of ELNs for nucleic acid delivery remains a formidable challenge, compounded by diverse production methods and a lack of systematic approaches to optimize their formulation and performance. This study employed a Box-Behnken design and two fabrication methods: freeze-thaw and sonication, to optimize the formulation of ELNs derived from exosomes of five distinct cancer cells. Formulation criteria focused on maximizing the fusion efficiency while minimizing particle size. The impact of the fusion method on cellular association and gene silencing of promising therapeutic targets, CD24, CD44, and CD47, was evaluated. The optimized formulations were subsequently assessed for therapeutic efficacy in 4T1 and B16F10 tumor models. Through careful manipulation of formulation variables, we obtained optimal ELNs with fusion efficiencies exceeding 50% and particle sizes under 170 nm while preserving exosomal markers CD9, CD63, and CD81. Cellular association studies revealed that ELNs specifically targeted their parental cell line, achieving \u223c2.5-fold higher siRNA association compared to LNPs. Furthermore, the optimized ELNs facilitated the delivery of therapeutic siRNAs, resulting in robust gene silencing and consequently improved the in vitro macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of treated cancer cells.

Targeted delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) against CX3CR1 through M1 phenotype macrophage extracellular vesicles is a potential strategy to achieve accurate PDAC treatment. This study sought to investigate the therapeutic potential of siRNA specifically targeting CX3CR1 in PDAC via loading into extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from M1 macrophages, evaluating its therapeutic efficacy through in vitro and in vivo experiments. The results demonstrated that siCX3CR1 was successfully incorporated into extracellular vesicles originating from M1 macrophages.

Systemic administration of M-LNP/CAR+R848 induced robust CAR expression in tumor-associated macrophages and promoted sustained M1 polarization.

Here we show that TMEM16A and MCP-1, key mediators of cyst-lining epithelial expansion and inflammatory macrophage recruitment respectively, are consistently upregulated in cyst-lining collecting duct (CD) epithelia across murine, porcine, and human ADPKD models. In human ADPKD patient cells, although individual silencing of TMEM16A or MCP-1 transcripts reduced cyst growth, combined silencing produced superior therapeutic efficacy, establishing the rationale for evaluating dual-target delivery. To achieve dual gene silencing in the kidneys, we delivered Tmem16a and Mcp-1 siRNA using peptide amphiphile micelles (PAMs), an ultrasmall nanoparticle platform that enables efficient renal targeting. To redirect siRNA-loaded PAMs to CD epithelia, we functionalized their surface with a CD-targeting peptide (CDM), which enabled preferential accumulation in cyst-lining CD epithelia. In an inducible Pkd1-deficient mouse model, co-delivery of CDMs loaded with Tmem16a and Mcp-1 siRNA reduced kidney enlargement, cystic burden, tubular injury, and macrophage infiltration, with efficacy exceeding non-targeted siRNA delivery at equivalent doses. CDM demonstrated enhanced uptake in primary human ADPKD patient-derived CD cells and dual gene silencing reduced target gene expression and cyst expansion, establishing translational relevance. These findings establish CD peptide-functionalized micelles as a route to cell-type-selective RNAi in the kidney, delivering siRNA to cyst-lining CD cells. Furthermore, because both targets, TMEM16A and MCP-1, are transcribed within CD cells, our siRNA-loaded CD-targeting micelles silence two drivers of cyst expansion, and their simultaneous suppression represents an effective therapeutic strategy for ADPKD."

Exosomes, which are extracellular vesicles (30-150 nm) that play a key role in intercellular communication, have a dual role in HIV-1 pathogenesis and therapy. Regarding pathogenesis, this review elucidates how HIV-1 exploits the exosome pathway-hijacking the Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport(ESCRT)machinery for viral budding and selectively packaging viral components, such as the accessory protein Nef, to enhance infectivity, promote immune evasion, and establish latent reservoirs. Conversely, host cells utilize exosomes to mount antiviral defense by packaging and transmitting restriction factors, such as APOBEC3G, to recipient cells. Furthermore, exosomal cargo serves as promising biomarkers for disease monitoring, and exosomes themselves are emerging as versatile therapeutic nanocarriers.

The review evaluates the potential of hollow nanoparticles as immunomodulatory therapies for septic shock, focusing on lipid-based, polymeric, protein-based, biomimetic, inorganic, carbon-based, and hybrid nanoparticle platforms. Current evidence suggests that these systems can modulate key pathological processes through reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) scavenging, regulation of inflammatory signaling, macrophage modulation, neutralization of bacterial toxins and antigens, and, in some cases, direct antimicrobial activity. Among the available platforms, lipid-based and biomimetic nanoparticles appear to possess the greatest translational potential owing to their favorable immunomodulatory properties and improved biocompatibility. Nonetheless, several challenges continue to limit clinical translation, including nanoparticle-associated systemic and organ toxicity, unintended immunogenicity, limited long-term safety data, and the lack of standardized comparative studies across nanoparticle classes. Despite these limitations, the progression of VBI-S, a phospholipid nanoparticle formulation, to Phase III clinical evaluation highlights the growing clinical feasibility of such nanoparticle-based approaches for septic shock. Future research should focus on optimizing nanoparticle design, improving safety profiles, and establishing standardized preclinical and clinical evaluation frameworks.

Host-directed therapeutic approaches are increasingly recognized as promising alternatives. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is an immunomodulatory molecule with host-dependent effects on macrophage function; however, its therapeutic use is hindered by instability and poor solubility. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) offer a controlled and biocompatible delivery platform capable of enhancing intracellular drug accumulation. ATRA-loaded SLNs were prepared and characterized for size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and morphology. Their antileishmanial activity was evaluated against extracellular L. infantum promastigotes, noninfected RAW 264.7 macrophages, and L. infantum-infected macrophages using resazurin-based assays and xCELLigence real-time cell analysis. Neither free ATRA nor ATRA-loaded SLNs exhibited significant inhibitory activity against extracellular promastigotes at concentrations up to 75 \u03bcM. In contrast, both forms of ATRA demonstrated marked dose-dependent inhibition in infected macrophages, with a significantly enhanced intracellular response observed in the SLN formulation, while maintaining excellent biocompatibility in noninfected macrophages. Enhanced uptake and sustained intracellular release are likely contributors to the improved efficacy of the SLN system. The findings reveal that ATRA exerts its antileishmanial activity primarily through host-dependent mechanisms that become apparent within infected macrophages, and that encapsulation into SLNs markedly amplifies this intracellular effect while preserving cell viability. ATRA-loaded SLNs thus represent a promising host-directed therapeutic strategy for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis."

These lipid-enclosed vesicles play a key role in intracellular communication by delivering various molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, thereby influencing the activity of recipient cells. In recent years, exosomes have attracted considerable attention for their involvement in viral infections and immune system evasion. Many viruses hijack the exosome biogenesis machinery to facilitate their replication, spread infection, and evade immune defenses. Therefore, gaining insights into how exosomes modulate the immune system or contribute to viral infectivity is crucial. This review explores how viral exosomes interact with host mammalian cells, highlighting their unique ability to transfer genetic material and proteins to recipient cells independent of virus-receptor interaction. Additionally, we examine the role of viral exosomes in intercellular communication, particularly how they may both promote viral infectivity and transmission, as well as participate in antiviral defense and immune regulation. Unlike previous reviews, our study integrates findings across both human and animal viral infections, critically discusses methodological standardization in exosome research, and introduces emerging therapeutic approaches such as engineered exosomes and exosome mimetics."

Various types of plant-derived nanoparticles have been extensively studied; however, comparative investigations of different nanoparticles originating from the same plant remain limited. In this study, two types of Pueraria lobata-derived nanoparticles-extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (PLEVs) and decoction nanoparticles (DE-NPs)-were isolated, and their physicochemical properties and therapeutic activities were systematically compared. PLEVs exhibited superior resistance to digestion and showed extensive distribution to the liver, demonstrating an enhanced ability to overcome the intestinal barrier and reach the liver. In a mouse model of alcoholic liver disease (ALD), PLEVs were internalized by hepatic macrophages, promoting their polarization into anti-inflammatory M2 and scavenging intracellular reactive oxygen species. Although DE-NPs were digested by enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract, they also possessed beneficial effects by maintaining the intestinal barrier integrity and modulating gut microbiota balance. Overall, PLEVs exhibited a superior hepatoprotective effect, which was associated with the restoration of intestinal homeostasis and the attenuation of hepatic inflammation. These findings highlight the distinct delivery pathways and therapeutic mechanisms of the two Pueraria lobata-derived nanoparticles, addressing PLEVs as a promising natural nanomedicine for alleviating liver-related diseases."

Load the plant vesicles with synthetic siRNAs designed to silence VP40 transcription directly inside the macrophage. Exploration of dietary, pharmacological, and repurposed solutions to achieve this.\"\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThe hypothesis proposes utilizing plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) as a natural, biocompatible nanocarrier system to deliver small interfering RNA (siRNA) specifically targeting the Ebola virus (EBOV) matrix protein VP40, thereby inhibiting viral replication within host macrophages. The synthesis explores whether established PDEV delivery technologies can be repurposed to mitigate Ebola-induced hyperinflammation and viral persistence.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nEbola virus disease pathogenesis is characterized by severe inflammation driven by the infection of mononuclear phagocytes. VP40, the matrix protein of Ebola, is essential for virion assembly and budding, and has been identified as a critical druggable target. Strategies involving chaperone-assisted selective autophagy or direct siRNA-mediated silencing have been explored to manage filovirus egress. Given that PDEVs are inherently biocompatible and capable of cross-kingdom delivery, they represent a high-potential vector for nucleic acid therapies. Recent successes in siRNA delivery using other vesicle systems\u2014such as DsiRNA swarms or specific viral glycoprotein-tagged nanocarriers\u2014support the viability of an siRNA-PDEV paradigm. However, the proposed approach requires overcoming barriers of specific macrophage-targeting efficacy and precise viral cargo loading, which are currently being addressed via surface modification and co-delivery systems in related inflammatory models.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* Plant-derived extracellular vesicles can be engineered to target specific macrophage phenotypes, potentially reducing the deleterious systemic inflammatory response.\n* VP40 is a \"client\" for chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA), providing a potential dual-action mechanism for therapeutic intervention.\n* Metabolic remodeling in macrophages, specifically through the AAS shunt and fumarate production, serves as an intrinsic antiviral defense that might be potentiated by PDEV-delivered cargo.\n* The use of GLP2 peptides and other targeting ligands shows it is possible to enhance PDEV/nanovesicle tropism to specific neuronal or immune cell populations.\n* Infection-induced persistent reservoirs in the brain ventricular system (choroid plexuses) indicate that future PDEV therapeutics must achieve blood-brain barrier penetration.\n* Small RNAs from plants can mediate cross-kingdom regulation, suggesting that endogenous plant vesicle cargoes might synergize with loaded synthetic therapeutic siRNAs.\n* mRNA therapy targeting EBOV GP and VP40 has successfully elicited humoral responses in animal models, establishing a precedent for nucleic-acid-based prophylaxis.\n* The mTORC1/CASA axis acts as a regulator for filovirus egress, providing a metabolic gate that can be modulated to restrict viral spread.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Load the plant vesicles with synthetic siRNAs designed to silence VP40 transcription directly inside the macrophage. Exploration of dietary, pharmacological, and repurposed solutions to achieve this.\"\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThe hypothesis proposes using plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) as a carrier for small interfering RNA (siRNA) specifically targeting the Ebola virus (EBOV) matrix protein VP40, delivered to macrophages. This synthesis evaluates the mechanistic feasibility of using PDEV-based RNA interference (RNAi) to mitigate Ebola virus pathogenesis by intercepting viral protein assembly in macrophages.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nEbola virus (EBOV) remains a critical pathogen, with its matrix protein, VP40, serving as a primary mediator of viral assembly and egress. Research identifies that VP40 is abundantly expressed during infection and plays a number of critical roles in the viral lifecycle. Furthermore, the Ebola genome encodes only seven genes, which mediate the entry, replication, and egress of the virus from the host cell. The EBOV matrix protein is VP40, which is found localized under the lipid envelope of the virus where it bridges the viral lipid envelope and nucleocapsid. EBOV also utilizes mechanisms to antagonize host RNA interference (RNAi) machinery. In addition to viral protein 35 (VP35), we found that VP30 and VP40 independently act as SRSs. Despite these viral defenses, nanotechnology offers viable solutions for these challenges, including the targeted delivery of siRNA. PDEVs, such as ginger-derived exosomes, exhibit unique properties that facilitate therapeutic delivery. Ginger EVs show strong colon and macrophage targeting, as well as robust resistance to acidic degradation in the stomach. Such platforms are already being explored for delivering siRNA to specific immune cells; for instance, here, a hierarchically engineered oral nanotherapeutic is developed based on Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG-derived bacterial nanovesicles (BNVs) for inflammatory macrophage-targeted gene silencing in colitis. By utilizing macrophage-targeting vesicles, one could potentially deliver synthetic siRNA to silence VP40 directly, thus disrupting the viral lifecycle at the assembly stage while bypassing the cell-autonomous suppression mechanisms encoded by EBOV.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* VP40 is not merely a structural protein but an active antagonist of host RNAi, acting as a suppressor of RNA silencing (SRS).\n* Ginger-derived EVs provide a dual-benefit platform: they offer intrinsic anti-inflammatory properties (via 6-shogaol) while serving as robust, acid-resistant carriers for nucleic acid payloads.\n* The effectiveness of PDEV delivery is highly dependent on identifying specific \"therapeutic windows\" for gene silencing, similar to the 36-hour kinetics established for HSP70 suppression in cancer therapy.\n* EBOV pathogenesis involves \"bystander\" damage to immune cells; therefore, targeting VP40 in macrophages may not only limit viral replication but also prevent virus-induced lymphocyte apoptosis.\n* Hybrid membrane strategies (e.g., T lymphocyte-macrophage hybrid membranes) can enhance the specificity of nanocarriers for macrophages beyond what is achieved by bare EVs.\n* Metabolic or pharmacologic modulation of the host's endosomal/lysosomal pathway can be repurposed to improve the cytoplasmic escape of siRNA delivered by plant-derived vesicles.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

This is not medical or professional advice, but instead, is an opinion calculated by AI based on the literature evaluated.\n\n###[CLAIM EVALUATED AND ANSWER TO USER]\nThe hypothesis proposing the use of plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) to deliver siRNA targeting the Ebola virus VP40 matrix protein directly to macrophages is scientifically plausible based on the convergence of existing mechanisms regarding exosomal RNAi, PDEV stability/uptake, and the essential role of VP40 in filoviral pathogenesis.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThis assessment evaluates the potential for repurposing plant-derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) as therapeutic delivery vehicles for siRNA against the Ebola virus (EBOV) VP40 matrix protein, targeting the myeloid cell compartment. The synthesis integrates findings on the essential nature of VP40 in EBOV assembly, the established efficacy of RNAi as a filoviral countermeasure, and the emerging field of engineered plant-derived nanovesicles for targeted, stable delivery of therapeutic nucleic acids.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe Ebola virus (EBOV) VP40 matrix protein is a critical linchpin for viral life cycle progression. \"The VP40 matrix protein of EBOV is essential for viral assembly and budding from the host cell.\" Given that filoviruses, including EBOV and MARV, rely on the interaction of their VP40 matrix protein with host proteins to drive egress, targeting the transcript of this protein offers a high-value antiviral strategy. The integration of RNA interference (RNAi) is established as a relevant host defense mechanism: \"In addition to viral protein 35 (VP35), we found that VP30 and VP40 independently act as SRSs.\" By leveraging the biocompatibility and scalability of plant-derived vesicles\u2014\"Using a thin-film hydration-extrusion method, low-concentration cholesterol modification enhanced the colloidal stability of the vesicles and increased macrophage uptake by 1.6-fold while preserving their ROS scavenging capacity\"\u2014one can envision a robust platform for siRNA delivery to the macrophage, a primary target cell for Ebola virus infection. This strategy mimics natural therapeutic approaches where \"Exosomes can also carry therapeutic payloads, such as anti-viral and antifungal drugs, gene editing tools like CRISPR/Cas9 and siRNA, and more.\"\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* Plant-derived vesicles often demonstrate inherent antioxidant capacity, which may counteract the inflammatory dysregulation typical of EBOV infections.\n* The use of host-derived vs. plant-derived vesicles allows for potential \"Trojan Horse\" delivery mechanisms that avoid standard viral immune evasion pathways.\n* VP40 is not only involved in viral egress but also acts as a suppressor of the mammalian RNA interference pathway, creating a therapeutic \"tug-of-war\" that siRNA-mediated silencing would fundamentally resolve.\n* Cholesterol modification of vesicles significantly enhances uptake in macrophage populations, a key requirement for EBOV reservoir management.\n* The combination of PDEV-siRNA delivery with existing small-molecule inhibitors of c-Abl1 tyrosine kinase (which regulates VP40 phosphorylation) could theoretically result in multi-stage blockage of viral replication.\n* Myeloid cells, including macrophages, act as both a sanctuary and a host for Ebola, making them the most critical nodes for potential therapeutic intervention via exosomal RNAi.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

In recent years, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as important mediators of intercellular communication and promising tools in oncology. EVs are membrane-bound vesicles released by most cell types and carry diverse biomolecules, including nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and metabolites derived from their parent cells. Their presence in biological fluids makes them attractive candidates for liquid biopsy applications and minimally invasive cancer diagnosis. In addition, EVs have gained considerable attention as therapeutic platforms due to their biocompatibility, stability, and ability to deliver functional cargo to recipient cells. Beyond mammalian EVs, plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) are increasingly being investigated as scalable and potentially safe nanocarriers for biomedical applications. This review summarizes current advances in the use of EVs for cancer diagnosis and therapy, with particular emphasis on their role as biomarkers, drug-delivery systems, and emerging therapeutic agents. Furthermore, the review discusses current challenges and future perspectives related to EV isolation, characterization, and clinical translation in oncology."

In the EBOV, two multifunctional proteins, VP35 and VP40, have significant roles in replication, virion assembly, and budding from the cell and have been identified as druggable targets. In this study, we employed in silico methods comprising molecular docking, molecular dynamic simulations, and pharmacological properties to identify prospective drugs for inhibiting VP35 and VP40 proteins from the myxobacterial bioactive natural product repertoire. Cystobactamid 934-2, Cystobactamid 919-1, and Cittilin A bound firmly to VP35. Meanwhile, 2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine, Enhypyrazinone B, and Sorangiadenosine showed strong binding to the matrix protein VP40. Molecular dynamic simulations revealed that, among these compounds, Cystobactamid 919-1 and 2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine had stable interactions with their respective targets. Similarly, molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MMPBSA) calculations indicated close-fitting receptor binding with VP35 or VP40. These two compounds also exhibited good pharmacological properties. In conclusion, we identified Cystobactamid 919-1 and 2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine as potential ligands for EBOV that target VP35 and VP40 proteins. These findings signify an essential step in vitro and in vivo to validate their potential for EBOV inhibition."

This mutation is a potential target for CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing. However, the blood-brain barrier and limitations of current viral or nanoparticle-based delivery systems to neurons significantly restrict the clinical application of CRISPR-Cas9 in the brain. To address these challenges, we developed a drug delivery system using acerola-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (AELNs), which may overcome several limitations associated with human exosomes. AELNs stably form complexes with ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) comprised of Cas9 proteins and guide RNAs (gRNAs).

To avoid off-target expression in the liver, miR-122 binding sites have been used by others in viral and non-viral therapeutics. Here, we use a luciferase reporter system to compare different copy numbers and insertion locations of miR-122 binding sequences to restrict liver expression. We inserted one to five miR-122 binding sites into the 5' or 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of luciferase mRNAs and tested them in LNPs in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo via systemic intravenous and local intramuscular injections in mice. Our results showed no significant differences in de-targeting efficacy between mRNAs harboring one or multiple miR-122 binding sites or between those with 5' or 3' UTR placements. To test the impact of miR-122 binding sites on antibody response to a mRNA vaccine, Ebola virus matrix protein VP40 mRNAs were modified with or without miR-122 binding sites and injected in mice intramuscularly. This work reinforces the utility of miR-122 binding sites while providing a comparison of these sites to aid the future development of LNP-mRNA therapies for non-hepatic tissues."

However, the risk of viral persistence and associated disease recrudescence in survivors receiving these therapeutics remains unclear. In contrast to rhesus macaques that survived Ebola virus (EBOV) exposure in the absence of treatment, we discovered that EBOV, despite being cleared from all other organs, persisted in the brain ventricular system of rhesus macaque survivors that had received monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatment. In mAb-treated macaque survivors, EBOV persisted in macrophages infiltrating the brain ventricular system, including the choroid plexuses. This macrophage infiltration was accompanied by severe tissue damage, including ventriculitis, choroid plexitis, and meningoencephalitis. Specifically, choroid plexus endothelium-derived EBOV infection led to viral persistence in the macaque brain ventricular system. This resulted in apoptosis of ependymal cells, which constitute the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier of the choroid plexuses. Fatal brain-confined recrudescence of EBOV infection manifested as severe inflammation, local pathology, and widespread infection of the ventricular system and adjacent neuropil in some of the mAb-treated macaque survivors. This study highlights organ-specific EBOV persistence and fatal recrudescent disease in rhesus macaque survivors after therapeutic treatment and has implications for the long-term follow-up of human survivors of EVD."

Here we report that viral-infection-induced inflammatory stimulation causes a rewiring of the urea cycle and the tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolism in macrophages to form a cyclic pathway called the aspartate-argininosuccinate (AAS) shunt. Using RNA sequencing, unbiased metabolomics and stable isotope tracing, we found that fumarate generated from the AAS shunt is driven by argininosuccinate synthase (ASS1) in the cytosol and potentiates inflammatory effects. Genetic ablation of ASS1 reduces intracellular fumarate levels and interferon-\u03b2 production, and mitochondrial respiration is also suppressed. Notably, viral challenge or fumarate esters enhance interferon-\u03b2 production via direct succination of the mitochondrial antiviral signalling protein and activation of the retinoic acid-inducible gene-I-like receptor signalling. In addition to the vesicular stomatitis virus, the Sendai virus and influenza A virus can also exert these effects. In addition, patients with Ebola virus disease have increased ASS1 expression and ASS1-deficient mice show suppressed macrophage interferon responses to vesicular stomatitis virus infection. These findings reveal that fumarate can be produced from the viral inflammation-induced AAS shunt and is essential for antiviral innate immunity."

Our prior in vitro work identified that CD40 signaling in murine peritoneal macrophages protects against several RNA viruses by eliciting IL-12, which stimulates the production of interferon gamma (IFN-\u03b3). Here, we examine the role of CD40 signaling in vivo. We show that CD40 signaling is a critical, but currently poorly appreciated, component of the innate immune response using two distinct infectious agents: mouse-adapted influenza A virus (IAV, PR8) and recombinant VSV encoding the Ebola virus glycoprotein (rVSV-EBOV GP). We find that stimulation of CD40 signaling decreases early IAV titers, whereas loss of CD40 elevated early titers and compromised lung function by day 3 of infection. Protection conferred by CD40 signaling against IAV is dependent on IFN-\u03b3 production, consistent with our in vitro studies. Using rVSV-EBOV GP that serves as a low-biocontainment model of filovirus infection, we demonstrate that macrophages are a CD40-expressing population critical for protection within the peritoneum and T-cells are the key source of CD40L (CD154). These experiments reveal the in vivo mechanisms by which CD40 signaling in macrophages regulates the early host responses to RNA virus infection and highlight how CD40 agonists currently under investigation for clinical use may function as a novel class of broad antiviral treatments."

Here, we developed an Ebola virus envelope glycoprotein (EboGP)-based chimeric fusion protein system and demonstrated that replacement of the mucin-like domain (MLD) of EboGP with HIV C2-V3-C3 (134 amino acids [aa]) or C2-V3-C3-V4-C4-V5-C5 (243 aa) polypeptides (EbGP\u0394M-V3 and EbGP\u0394M-V3-V5, respectively) still maintained the efficiency of EboGP-mediated viral entry into human macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs). Animal studies using mice revealed that immunization with virus-like particles (VLPs) containing the above chimeric proteins, especially EbGP\u0394M-V3, induced significantly more potent anti-HIV antibodies than HIV gp120 alone in mouse serum and vaginal fluid. Moreover, the splenocytes isolated from mice immunized with VLPs containing EbGP\u0394M-V3 produced significantly higher levels of gamma interferon (IFN-\u03b3), interleukin 2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-5, and macrophage inflammatory protein 1\u03b1 (MIP-1\u03b1). Additionally, we demonstrated that coexpression of EbGP\u0394M-V3 and the HIV Env glycoprotein in a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV) vector elicited robust anti-HIV antibodies that may have specifically recognized epitopes outside or inside the C2-V3-C3 region of HIV-1 gp120 and cross-reacted with the gp120 from different HIV strains. Thus, this study has demonstrated the great potential of this DC-targeting vaccine platform as a new vaccine approach for improving immunogen delivery and increasing vaccine efficacy. IMPORTANCE Currently, there are more than 38.5 million reported cases of HIV globally. To date, there is no approved vaccine for HIV-1 infection. Thus, the development of an effective vaccine against HIV infection remains a global priority. This study revealed the efficacy of a novel dendritic cell (DC)-targeting vaccination approach against HIV-1. The results clearly show that the immunization of mice with virus-like particles (VLPs) and VSVs containing HIV Env and a fusion protein composed of a DC-targeting domain of Ebola virus GP with HIV C2-V3-C3 polypeptides (EbGP\u0394M-V3) could induce robust immune responses against HIV-1 Env and/or Gag in serum and vaginal mucosa. These findings provide a proof of concept of this novel and efficient DC-targeting vaccine approach in delivering various antigenic polypeptides of HIV-1 and/or other emergent infections to the host antigen-presenting cells to prevent HIV and other viral infections."

To properly counteract EVD, an improved understanding of the long-term impact of recent EVD outbreaks in West Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo are needed. In the wake of recent outbreaks, numerous health sequelae were identified in EVD survivors. These findings include joint pains, headaches, myalgias, and uveitis, a vision-threatening inflammatory condition of the eye. Retrospective and more recent prospective studies of EVD survivors from West Africa have demonstrated that uveitis may occur in 13-34% of patients with an increase in prevalence from baseline to 12-month follow-up. The clinical spectrum of disease ranges from mild, anterior uveitis to severe, sight-threatening panuveitis. Untreated inflammation may ultimately lead to secondary complications of cataract and posterior synechiae, with resultant vision impairment. The identification of Ebola virus persistence in immune privileged organs, such as the eye, with subsequent tissue inflammation and edema may lead to vision loss. Non-human primate models of EVD have demonstrated tissue localization to the eye including macrophage reservoirs within the vitreous matter. Moreover, in vitro models of Ebola virus have shown permissiveness in retinal pigment epithelial cells, potentially contributing to viral persistence. Broad perspectives from epidemiologic studies of the outbreak, animal modeling, and immunologic studies of EVD survivors have demonstrated the spectrum of the eye disease, tissue specificity of Ebola virus infection, and antigen-specific immunologic response. Further studies in these areas will elucidate the mechanisms of this highly prevalent disease with the potential for improved therapeutics for Ebola virus in immune-privileged sites."

No therapeutics or vaccines are currently licensed; however, a vaccine has shown promise in clinical trials. A critical step towards development of effective therapeutics is a better understanding of factors that govern host susceptibility to this pathogen. As macrophages are an important cell population targeted during virus replication, we explore the effect of cytokine polarization on macrophage infection. We utilized a BSL2 EBOV model virus, infectious, recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus encoding EBOV glycoprotein (GP) (rVSV/EBOV GP) in place of its native glycoprotein. Macrophages polarized towards a M2-like anti-inflammatory state by combined IL-4 and IL-13 treatment were more susceptible to rVSV/EBOV GP, but not to wild-type VSV (rVSV/G), suggesting that EBOV GP-dependent entry events were enhanced by these cytokines. Examination of RNA expression of known surface receptors that bind and internalize filoviruses demonstrated that IL-4/IL-13 stimulated expression of the C-type lectin receptor DC-SIGN in human macrophages and addition of the competitive inhibitor mannan abrogated IL-4/IL-13 enhanced infection. Two murine DC-SIGN-like family members, SIGNR3 and SIGNR5, were upregulated by IL-4/IL-13 in murine macrophages, but only SIGNR3 enhanced virus infection in a mannan-inhibited manner, suggesting that murine SIGNR3 plays a similar role to human DC-SIGN. In vivo IL-4/IL-13 administration significantly increased virus-mediated mortality in a mouse model and transfer of ex vivo IL-4/IL-13-treated murine peritoneal macrophages into the peritoneal cavity of mice enhanced pathogenesis. These studies highlight the ability of macrophage polarization to influence EBOV GP-dependent virus replication in vivo and ex vivo, with M2a polarization upregulating cell surface receptor expression and thereby enhancing virus replication. Our findings provide an increased understanding of the host factors in macrophages governing susceptibility to filoviruses and identify novel murine receptors mediating EBOV entry."

The generation of efficacious vaccines and antiviral drugs remains a challenge due to the rapid appearance of new influenza virus types and antigenic variants. Consequently, novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of IAV infections are needed, given the limitations of the presently available antivirals. Here, we used enzymatically produced IAV-specific double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules and Giardia intestinalis Dicer for the generation of a swarm of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules. The siRNAs target multiple conserved genomic regions of the IAVs. In mammalian cells, the produced 25- to 27-nucleotide-long siRNA molecules are processed by endogenous Dicer into 21-nucleotide siRNAs and are thus designated Dicer-substrate siRNAs (DsiRNAs). We evaluated the efficacy of the above DsiRNA swarm at preventing IAV infections in human primary monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells. The replication of different IAV strains, including avian influenza H5N1 and H7N9 viruses, was significantly inhibited by pretransfection of the cells with the IAV-specific DsiRNA swarm. Up to 7 orders of magnitude inhibition of viral RNA expression was observed, which led to a dramatic inhibition of IAV protein synthesis and virus production. The IAV-specific DsiRNA swarm inhibited virus replication directly through the RNA interference pathway although a weak induction of innate interferon responses was detected. Our results provide direct evidence for the feasibility of the siRNA strategy and the potency of DsiRNA swarms in the prevention and treatment of influenza, including the highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses.IMPORTANCE In spite of the enormous amount of research, influenza virus is still one of the major challenges for medical virology due to its capacity to generate new variants, which potentially lead to severe epidemics and pandemics. We demonstrated here that a swarm of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules, including more than 100 different antiviral RNA molecules targeting the most conserved regions of the influenza A virus genome, could efficiently inhibit the replication of all tested avian and seasonal influenza A variants in human primary monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells. The wide antiviral spectrum makes the virus-specific siRNA swarm a potentially efficient treatment modality against both avian and seasonal influenza viruses."

Nef also induces lipid raft formation. In this study, we demonstrate that these activities are tightly linked and affect macrophage function and HIV replication. Nef stimulated lipid raft formation in macrophage cell line RAW 264.7, and lipid rafts were also mobilized in HIV-1-infected human monocyte-derived macrophages. Nef-mediated transfer of cholesterol to lipid rafts competed with the ABCA1-dependent pathway of cholesterol efflux, and pharmacological inhibition of ABCA1 functionality or suppression of ABCA1 expression by RNAi increased Nef-dependent delivery of cholesterol to lipid rafts. Nef reduced cell-surface accessibility of ABCA1 and induced ABCA1 catabolism via the lysosomal pathway. Despite increasing the abundance of lipid rafts, expression of Nef impaired phagocytic functions of macrophages.

Herein, we developed a fast-dissolving microneedle (MN) patch of chondroitin sulfate and carboxymethyl chitosan for localized codelivery of Platycladus orientalis leaf-derived extracellular vesicles (PO-EVs) and minoxidil nanoparticles (MXD NPs). PO-EVs were separated and characterized as nanoscale vesicles and were shown to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pro-angiogenic activities relevant to hair follicle maintenance. MXD NPs were prepared by thin-film hydration to improve the minoxidil solubility and local retention. Both were loaded into microneedles with sufficient mechanical strength that could dissolve rapidly in the skin.

Macrophages are primary targets of EBOV, and viral replication profoundly alters macrophage transcriptional programs, driving hyperinflammation. Although long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly recognized as regulators of immunity and viral pathogenesis, their roles in EBOV infection remain poorly understood. We performed comprehensive transcriptomic profiling of primary human monocyte-derived macrophages infected with the highly pathogenic EBOV Mayinga variant. Infection triggered extensive remodeling of both coding and non-coding transcriptomes, including hundreds of differentially expressed lncRNAs. Functional analysis of neighboring protein-coding genes of EBOV-induced lncRNAs (EVILs) revealed enrichment of pathways linked to cytokine signaling, transcriptional regulation, and cell signaling, all of which are central to Ebola virus disease (EVD) pathogenesis. Among the most strongly induced EVILs, LINC01740 and its neighboring protein-coding gene, Activating Transcription Factor 3 (ATF3), were significantly upregulated. Antisense oligonucleotide-mediated inhibition of LINC01740 reduced ATF3 mRNA and protein levels. CRISPR/Cas13d-mediated knockdown of ATF3 restored type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling and antiviral gene expression in EBOV-infected macrophages. Mechanistically, ATF3 functions as a negative regulator of IFN-I and type I interferon-stimulated gene expression, thereby suppressing antiviral immune responses in EBOV-infected macrophages.

The synthesis explores whether established PDEV delivery technologies can be repurposed to mitigate Ebola-induced hyperinflammation and viral persistence.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nEbola virus disease pathogenesis is characterized by severe inflammation driven by the infection of mononuclear phagocytes. VP40, the matrix protein of Ebola, is essential for virion assembly and budding, and has been identified as a critical druggable target. Strategies involving chaperone-assisted selective autophagy or direct siRNA-mediated silencing have been explored to manage filovirus egress. Given that PDEVs are inherently biocompatible and capable of cross-kingdom delivery, they represent a high-potential vector for nucleic acid therapies. Recent successes in siRNA delivery using other vesicle systems\u2014such as DsiRNA swarms or specific viral glycoprotein-tagged nanocarriers\u2014support the viability of an siRNA-PDEV paradigm. However, the proposed approach requires overcoming barriers of specific macrophage-targeting efficacy and precise viral cargo loading, which are currently being addressed via surface modification and co-delivery systems in related inflammatory models.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* Plant-derived extracellular vesicles can be engineered to target specific macrophage phenotypes, potentially reducing the deleterious systemic inflammatory response.\n* VP40 is a \"client\" for chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA), providing a potential dual-action mechanism for therapeutic intervention.\n* Metabolic remodeling in macrophages, specifically through the AAS shunt and fumarate production, serves as an intrinsic antiviral defense that might be potentiated by PDEV-delivered cargo.\n* The use of GLP2 peptides and other targeting ligands shows it is possible to enhance PDEV/nanovesicle tropism to specific neuronal or immune cell populations.\n* Infection-induced persistent reservoirs in the brain ventricular system (choroid plexuses) indicate that future PDEV therapeutics must achieve blood-brain barrier penetration.\n* Small RNAs from plants can mediate cross-kingdom regulation, suggesting that endogenous plant vesicle cargoes might synergize with loaded synthetic therapeutic siRNAs.\n* mRNA therapy targeting EBOV GP and VP40 has successfully elicited humoral responses in animal models, establishing a precedent for nucleic-acid-based prophylaxis.\n* The mTORC1/CASA axis acts as a regulator for filovirus egress, providing a metabolic gate that can be modulated to restrict viral spread.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

While surface engineering can enhance tissue accumulation, strategies that preserve biocompatibility and enable scalable production remain limited. Here, we introduce boiling as a simple thermal processing approach that structurally reconfigures ginger extracellular vesicles (GEVs) into functionally enhanced, thermally reassembled GEVs (T-GEVs). The surface architecture of T-GEVs is enriched with key vesicle trafficking regulators, including V-type proton adenosine triphosphatase subunit G, ARF1, and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein. This specific composition drives their tissue-specific accumulation in the intestine and liver and potentiates clathrin-dependent cellular uptake in intestinal cells by 8.57-fold. Beyond superior intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity through NLRP3 inflammasome suppression, T-GEVs function as an efficient oral delivery platform. When loaded with tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) small interfering RNA, they enable a synergistic therapy that combines innate anti-inflammatory activity with targeted gene silencing of TNF-\u03b1, showing potent efficacy in colitis. Our findings position boiling as a natural strategy for enhancing the bioactivity and targeted oral delivery potential of GEVs.\n\nID: 42511886\nTitle: Extracellular Vesicles as a Potential Tool in Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy.\nAbstract: Cancer remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with lung, breast, and colorectal cancers among the most prevalent and lethal malignancies. In recent years, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as important mediators of intercellular communication and promising tools in oncology. EVs are membrane-bound vesicles released by most cell types and carry diverse biomolecules, including nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and metabolites derived from their parent cells. Their presence in biological fluids makes them attractive candidates for liquid biopsy applications and minimally invasive cancer diagnosis. In addition, EVs have gained considerable attention as therapeutic platforms due to their biocompatibility, stability, and ability to deliver functional cargo to recipient cells. Beyond mammalian EVs, plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) are increasingly being investigated as scalable and potentially safe nanocarriers for biomedical applications. This review summarizes current advances in the use of EVs for cancer diagnosis and therapy, with particular emphasis on their role as biomarkers, drug-delivery systems, and emerging therapeutic agents. Furthermore, the review discusses current challenges and future perspectives related to EV isolation, characterization, and clinical translation in oncology.\n\nID: 42505345\nTitle: Membrane Fusion-Based Mirabilis Himalaica-Derived Exosome-like Nanoparticles Fused with Cell-Penetrating Peptide Mediated for Chebulinic Acid Delivery Against UVA-Induced Photoaging.\nAbstract: Exposure to ultraviolet (UV), particularly UVA radiation, is a primary driver of photoaging due to its deep dermal penetration, which triggers DNA damage, collagen degradation, and immune suppression. Chebulinic acid (CA), a polyphenolic compound from Terminalia chebula, exhibits potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties against UVB-induced skin damage. However, its large molecular weight hinders transdermal delivery and the TAT47-57 peptide (core of HIV-1 TAT) enables rapid transmembrane transport. Large particles with double-layer membrane structure and a diameter exceeding 1000 nm were obtained during the separation of plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs), which are not considered as PELNs (50-500 nm), after a mixture with TAT anchored to the surface of engineered artificial vesicles (EAVs) and extrusion causes membrane fusion, employed as novel nanocarriers to overcome the difficulty in skin penetration by leveraging their lipid bilayer structure and surface membrane-anchored TAT for efficient epidermal fusion and intercellular penetration. Furthermore, CA-loaded TAT-ePELNs demonstrate significant efficacy in mitigating UVA-induced photoaging. Collectively, this study expands the anti-UVR damage application spectrum of CA from UVB to UVA exposure and establishes a green, efficient, and biosafe strategy for transdermal drug delivery by utilization of non-PELNs generated during the preparation process of PELNs.\n\nID: 42495154\nTitle: Exosome-like nanoparticles derived from Astragali Radix-Curcumae Rhizoma co-decoction enhance oral bioavailability and provide synergistic efficacy and reduced toxicity in combination with 5-fluorouracil for lung cancer therapy.\nAbstract: The low oral bioavailability of bioactive components from the Astragali Radix-Curcumae Rhizoma herb pair severely restricts its clinical application in antitumour therapy. To address this issue, we developed a natural drug delivery system using exosome-like nanoparticles (ACELNs) isolated from the co-decoction of Astragali Radix and Curcumae Rhizoma, which can effectively encapsulate and preserve the bioactive components from the herbal pair. Systematic characterization confirmed that ACELNs maintained excellent structural integrity, flat spheroid morphology, and favorable gastrointestinal stability with desirable colloidal properties. Cellular and rat pharmacokinetic studies demonstrated that ACELNs significantly improved the oral bioavailability of the loaded active components. In Lewis lung cancer ectopic mouse model, the combination of ACELNs and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) exhibited superior antitumour efficacy and excellent biocompatibility. This natural nanocarrier strategy provides a promising approach to overcome the bioavailability barrier of traditional Chinese medicine components and achieve synergistic therapeutic effects.\n\nID: 42486784\nTitle: In Situ Transferrin-Mediated Sandwich-like Targeting with Engineered Ginger-Derived Extracellular Vesicles for Precision Oral Chemotherapy of Colorectal Cancer.\nAbstract: Oral chemotherapy for colorectal cancer (CRC) is limited by poor tumor selectivity and microenvironment-driven resistance. Addressing these limitations demands materials that integrate tumor-selective targeting with immune microenvironment modulation. Here, clinical analysis of CRC specimens revealed pronounced transferrin (Tf) enrichment in CRC-associated intestinal regions. Guided by this finding, we engineered a gastrointestinal-stable cyclic Tf-binding peptide (cp) with high Tf affinity and constructed cp-modified ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (cp-GEVs) for in situ Tf-mediated sandwich-like targeting. By recruiting endogenous Tf, cp-GEVs established a Tf-mediated bridging interface that selectively engages Tf receptor-overexpressing intestinal epithelium and tumor cells, enabling efficient epithelial transcytosis, tumor-selective accumulation, and deep intratumoral penetration after oral administration. When loaded with irinotecan (CPT-11), CPT@cp-GEVs significantly enhanced intracellular drug delivery and reprogrammed immunosuppressive M2-like tumor-associated macrophages toward a pro-inflammatory phenotype, thereby disrupting cancer stem cell-enriched drug-resistant niches. In AOM/DSS-induced primary CRC models and patient-derived ex vivo systems, CPT@cp-GEVs significantly improved chemotherapeutic efficacy while attenuating resistance. Collectively, this work establishes a Tf-mediated sandwich-like targeting framework for oral cancer therapy, offering a conceptually distinct materials design paradigm that integrates endogenous ligand recruitment with immune microenvironment reprogramming.\n\nID: 42482072\nTitle: Oral delivery of anti-mCD80 nanobody-engineered probiotic bacterial nanovesicles for macrophage-targeted Il17ra silencing in colitis.\nAbstract: Inflammatory bowel disease remains challenging to treat because effective intervention requires localized suppression of mucosal inflammation together with restoration of tissue homeostasis. Here, a hierarchically engineered oral nanotherapeutic is developed based on Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG-derived bacterial nanovesicles (BNVs) for inflammatory macrophage-targeted gene silencing in colitis. The vesicles are genetically engineered to display an anti-mCD80 nanobody, loaded with siIl17ra, and further encapsulated within calcium alginate microcapsules to improve gastrointestinal protection and enable gastrointestinal protection and intestinal-fluid-associated release in the lower gut. The resulting system preserves nanoscale vesicular morphology, exhibits favorable cytocompatibility, and shows enhanced uptake by inflammatory macrophages after nanobody decoration. Following internalization, siIl17ra/CD80-BNVs effectively suppress Il17ra expression and reprogram macrophages toward a pro-repair phenotype. Microcapsule incorporation further improves siRNA retention, restrains premature release under acidic conditions, and promotes sustained release under intestinally relevant pH conditions. After oral administration, MC-siIl17ra/CD80-BNVs display enhanced colorectal retention and markedly alleviate dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis, as evidenced by reduced disease activity, attenuated histopathological injury, enhanced epithelial regeneration, decreased inflammatory mediator expression, and reduced NF-\u03baB/caspase-associated marker changes. This work establishes a microbiota-inspired oral nanomedicine platform for localized immunomodulation and mucosal repair in colitis.\n\nID: 42442284\nTitle: Harnessing Chlorella vulgaris-derived extracellular vesicles for potentiated cancer immunotherapy.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as promising drug delivery vehicle due to their inherent biocompatibility, high stability and large-scale production. Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris) has been increasing application in the food industry and biomedical fields. Nevertheless, the biogenesis and immunomodulatory functions of EVs from Chlorella species remain poorly understood. Herein, we found that the EVs in C. vulgaris originated from \"vacuolar structures\", a process analogous to the biogenesis of exosomes which originates from endosomes in mammalian cells. Therefore, we further isolated and characterized EVs secreted by Chlorella vulgaris (C.V-EVs). Afterwards, we investigated the regulatory effects of C.V-EVs on immune cells, with a particular emphasis on their capacity to promote dendritic cell (DC) maturation, enhance antigen presentation, and improve T-cell priming efficiency. Furthermore, we developed C.V-EVs as multifunctional biomimetic nanocarriers for co-delivering gemcitabine (Gem) and a programmed cell death-1/ligand-1 checkpoint inhibitor (PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor, PD-1/L1i), and conjugated these drug-loaded C.V-EVs with platelet (Platelet-C.V-EVs-Gem&PD-1/L1i) to enhance tumor-targeted delivery. Simultaneously, the release of PD-1/L1i could block the PD-1/PD-L1 signaling axis, reinvigorating tumor specific-T cell activity, to trigger robust antitumor immune responses. In addition, C. vulgaris could generate oxygen in situ to alleviate hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment, synergistically with preloaded C. V-EVs to promote the infiltration and activation of immune cells to prevent the tumor relapse and metastasis.\n\nID: 42432268\nTitle: Triple identity of medicinal plant-derived extracellular vesicles.\nAbstract: Medicinal plant-derived extracellular vesicles (MPDEVs) are nanoscale vesicles secreted by medicinal plant cells. They are enriched in diverse functional components and function as natural mediators that facilitate intercellular communication and regulate multiple physiological processes. Owing to their unique biological activities and delivery capabilities, these vesicles have emerged as a frontier research hotspot. Recent studies have demonstrated that MPDEVs exhibit excellent biocompatibility and cross-species delivery potential and can be engineered to encapsulate small-molecule compounds for use as drug delivery vectors. Remarkably, MPDEVs also display notable intrinsic therapeutic effects and can be directly applied as natural therapeutic agents in various disease models. Furthermore, MPDEVs can be co-administered with conventional therapeutic drugs to strengthen their efficacy and improve bioavailability. This article systematically summarizes the biogenesis, composition, and functional properties of MPDEVs and emphasizes their broad application potential, characterized by a triple identity as intelligent carriers, natural therapeutic agents, and synergistic treatment systems. Nonetheless, the translation of MPDEVs from laboratory research to clinical application is impeded by several critical challenges, including source heterogeneity, the absence of specific biomarkers for efficient purification and identification, and a lack of standardized quality control procedures. Accordingly, this paper also highlights these core limitations and outlines future development directions aimed at facilitating clinical translation and industrial deployment. The objective is to provide a comprehensive reference and theoretical framework to support overcoming these constraints and to contribute to the advancement of MPDEVs into reliable and scalable biomedical tools.\n\nID: 42410576\nTitle: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles as emerging cardioprotective agents for cardiovascular diseases.\nAbstract: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. Their complex and multifactorial pathogenesis, involving endothelial dysfunction, chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, metabolic dysregulation, and pathological remodeling, limits the long-term effectiveness of current therapeutic strategies and underscores the need for novel treatment approaches. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) have recently emerged as promising cardioprotective agents because of their favorable biocompatibility, relatively low immunogenicity, abundant endogenous bioactive cargoes, and engineering flexibility. Owing to these properties, PDEVs possess dual characteristics as natural nanocarriers and bioactive therapeutic agents. Preclinical evidence from various in vitro and in vivo cardiovascular disease models indicates that PDEVs exert antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and tissue-reparative effects, thereby attenuating myocardial injury, reducing oxidative stress, and promoting cardiomyocyte survival. Beyond their intrinsic therapeutic activities, PDEVs can also serve as multifunctional drug delivery vehicles for small-molecule drugs, nucleic acids, proteins, and natural bioactive compounds, improving cargo stability, bioavailability, and therapeutic performance. Recent advances in surface functionalization, membrane fusion, and biomimetic design have further enhanced their targeting capacity and functional controllability. This review focuses on the application of PDEVs in cardiovascular disease therapy, systematically summarizing their preparation, characterization, quality evaluation, and relative advantages and limitations compared with conventional nanocarriers. It further highlights their therapeutic effects in different cardiovascular disease models, drug delivery applications, engineering strategies, and the current progress and key challenges in clinical translation. Continued advances in this field may promote the translation of PDEVs from experimental research to clinical application and broaden their value in cardiovascular nanomedicine.\n\nID: 42398832\nTitle: Harnessing plant-derived extracellular vesicles for oral delivery: A dual role as natural therapeutics and engineered drug carriers.\nAbstract: Oral administration is favored for its safety, convenience, and cost-effectiveness, yet remains limited by the harsh gastrointestinal environment that often compromises drug stability and efficacy. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) represent a promising natural platform to overcome this challenge. Exhibiting inherent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-tumor properties, PDEVs demonstrate remarkable structural resilience under acidic and enzymatic conditions. Their capacities to cross intestinal barriers, deliver functional microRNAs, and encapsulate poorly bioavailable drugs have shown therapeutic potential in models of intestinal inflammation, metabolic disorders, and gastrointestinal cancers. This review systematically outlines the structural and functional characteristics of PDEVs and evaluates their emerging role as oral carriers for diverse cargoes, including small molecules, nucleic acids, proteins, and probiotics. We also discuss their advantages, design principles, recent advances, current limitations, and future perspectives.\n\nID: 42371419\nTitle: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles for drug delivery: current and future.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) have attracted considerable attention as natural drug delivery vehicles owing to their low immunogenicity, excellent biocompatibility, cross-kingdom delivery capability and intrinsic targeting properties. They naturally encapsulate a variety of bioactive components that can synergize with loaded drugs, while the vesicles exhibit good stability under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. This review focuses on the structure-property-function relationships of PDEVs in drug delivery. It systematically compares current drug loading strategies and evaluation approaches, particularly engineered loading technologies and composite delivery systems. Furthermore, it summarizes the applications of PDEV-based delivery systems in disease therapy, vaccine development, cosmetics and nutraceuticals. Finally, we propose an evaluation framework to facilitate clinical translation, providing theoretical support for advancing these systems toward practical use.\n\nID: 42357366\nTitle: Medicinal Plant-Derived Exosome-like Nanoparticles: From Basic Research to Biomedical Applications.\nAbstract: Plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs), a subset of extracellular vesicle (EV) secreted by plant cells, have emerged as revolutionary biomaterial with broad applications in biomedicine, agriculture, and nanotechnology. Structurally, PELNs feature a phospholipid bilayer homologous to plant cell membranes, encapsulating bioactive components such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and secondary metabolites. The native structure of PELNs endows them with enhanced bioavailability, reduced immunogenicity, and improved barrier penetration for precise tissue delivery. Recent studies highlight the cross-kingdom therapeutic potential of PELNs in mammals, including antitumor, anti-inflammatory, tissue repair, immunomodulation and so on. This review comprehensively summarized recent advancements in PELN research, including innovative isolation techniques, molecular characterization, their roles in drug delivery and disease therapy. We also discussed challenges in standardization, scalability, and regulatory frameworks which could provide future perspectives for translating PELNs into clinical and industrial applications.\n\nID: 42357274\nTitle: Engineering Strategies for Plant-Derived Extracellular Vesicles: Modification, Drug Delivery Performance, and Synergistic Effects with Gel Composite Systems.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) are a novel category of natural nanocarriers with widespread availability, low immunogenicity, high biocompatibility, and inherent pharmacological activity. These features underscore their value as dual-function systems capable of serving as both carriers and bioactive agents. Unlike previous reviews that focused primarily on disease-specific applications or on individual engineering techniques, this review established a conceptual framework integrating three interconnected dimensions: (i) engineering strategies that address the inherent limitations of PDEVs (targeting, stability, loading efficiency); (ii) the carrier-performance-synergy paradigm linking PDEV composition to therapeutic outcomes; and (iii) gel-composite design principles that transform local retention into a controllable delivery platform. This review delves into various engineering methodologies, including targeted modification, enhanced stability, and optimized drug loading, while elucidating the performance characteristics of PDEVs as drug carriers, focusing on their protective, targeting, and controlled-release properties. It notably investigates the synergistic interactions between the intrinsic bioactivity of PDEVs and the drugs they deliver. Furthermore, this review highlights advanced applications of PDEV gel composites in localized drug delivery, specifically emphasizing their clinical potential for treating dermatological conditions. Finally, it highlights the current challenges faced by PDEVs and anticipates future research directions, such as synthetic biology, multi-omics analysis, and clinical translation. This review provides a theoretical framework for the rational design and clinical translation of PDEVs. It thereby promotes their innovative development in precision nanomedicine.\n\nID: 42308883\nTitle: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles for cancer therapy: Biological features, therapeutic mechanisms and pharmaceutical applications.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) are nanoscale particles isolated from plant tissues that carry proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and secondary metabolites, and function as mediators of intercellular communication. PDEVs have been increasingly investigated in both basic research and translational medicine. Owing to their intrinsic anticancer activity, favorable biocompatibility, and capacity for cargo association/loading and delivery, PDEVs are being explored as nanotherapeutics and drug delivery systems for cancer treatment. This review summarizes the biological features of PDEVs, their mechanisms of action in cancer therapy, and current strategies for engineering multifunctional PDEV-based therapeutic platforms. Finally, the review discusses their potential as drug delivery platforms and analyzes current strategies, advantages, and challenges related to clinical translation. This review aims to advance understanding of PDEV biology and support their future clinical development.\n\nID: 42302635\nTitle: Toxicology and biodistribution of plant-derived extracellular vesicles for drug delivery: Quality control, safety mechanisms, and translational testing priorities.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles and plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles are increasingly investigated as natural nanocarriers for drug delivery and as bioactive materials with intrinsic therapeutic potential. However, their translational development is limited by unresolved questions surrounding safety, biodistribution, product identity, and batch consistency. In this review, we synthesize current knowledge on the toxicology and biodistribution of plant-derived extracellular vesicle products, with emphasis on route-dependent exposure, barrier interactions, immune recognition, hemocompatibility, microbiome effects, and off-target organ accumulation. We argue that an edible plant origin should not be considered a surrogate for safety, particularly when products are administered at high doses, repeatedly, or through non-oral routes. We further identify quality control as a central determinant of both efficacy and safety, because plant source, growth conditions, harvest timing, isolation workflow, storage, and co-isolated contaminants can substantially alter vesicle composition and biological activity. To address these challenges, we propose a translational framework that integrates chemistry, manufacturing, and control principles with route-specific nonclinical toxicology testing and mechanism-linked potency assays. The framework highlights minimum expectations for identity, purity, potency, stability, and contaminant testing, including microbial burden, endotoxin-like activity, pesticide residues, and heavy metals. We also outline research priorities needed for regulatory-grade development, including harmonized nomenclature, reference materials, orthogonal characterization strategies, and mechanistic studies that distinguish vesicle-intrinsic effects from cargo- or impurity-driven toxicity. Collectively, this review positions toxicology and product quality as the key organizing principles for the safe and reproducible development of plant-derived extracellular vesicles in drug delivery.\n\nID: 42300402\nTitle: Plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles ameliorate glycolipid metabolism diseases: molecular mechanism, advances and bottlenecks.\nAbstract: Glycolipid metabolism diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), are increasingly becoming a significant global public health burden. Existing treatment approaches still face challenges in terms of long-term efficacy and safety, highlighting an urgent need to develop innovative intervention strategies. Compared to mammal-derived exosomes, exosome-like nanoparticles derived from natural plants exhibit unique application prospects owing to their abundant sources, good biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. This review systematically summarizes the resent progress of natural plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs) in ameliorating disorders of glucolipid metabolism through multi-target and multi-pathway synergistic effects, including enhancing insulin sensitivity, alleviating oxidative stress, inhibiting inflammatory responses, and modulating gut microbiota balance. We summarize the potential of PELNs as novel therapeutic agent and drug delivery carriers, and analyze the current issues and challenges faced in clinical applications.\n\nID: 42293730\nTitle: A safe and anti-inflammatory plant-derived nanovesicle platform for targeted delivery in acute lung injury.\nAbstract: Acute lung injury (ALI) and its more severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), are life-threatening pulmonary disorders with extremely high mortality rates, for which effective and safe therapeutic strategies remain limited. The development of targeted and biocompatible drug delivery systems is urgently needed to control pulmonary inflammatory cascades while minimizing systemic toxicity. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles offer a naturally safe and anti-inflammatory platform for therapeutic delivery. Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1), a major bioactive compound from ginseng, possesses potent anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties, whereas lemon-derived EVs (LEVs) exhibit intrinsic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Here, we engineered a multifunctional, biocompatible drug delivery platform, GRb1@LEVs-cRGD, in which ginsenoside Rb1 is incorporated into and fused with LEVs to form hybrid bio-nanovesicles, while the vesicle surface is functionalized with cyclic RGD (cRGD) peptides to target integrin \u03b1v\u03b23 highly expressed in inflamed pulmonary tissues, thereby enhancing site-specific delivery. In vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that GRb1@LEVs-cRGD effectively inhibited M1 macrophage polarization, suppressed inflammatory cascades, and preserved epithelial-endothelial integrity. Furthermore, exogenous cholesterol loading improved vesicle stability, maintained the pH gradient, and enhanced the loading efficiency of tigecycline and vancomycin by six-fold. In murine models of bacterial pneumonia induced by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, antibiotic-loaded GRb1@LEVs-cRGD efficiently accumulated at infection sites and exhibited synergistic anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. Overall, this study demonstrates that GRb1@LEVs-cRGD is a safe, targeted, and multifunctional therapeutic platform with significant potential for ALI/ARDS treatment.\n\nID: 42226964\nTitle: Plant-Derived Extracellular Vesicles for Nanomedicine in Cardiopulmonary Diseases: A Narrative Review.\nAbstract: This narrative review summarizes research progress on plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) for nanomedicine in cardiopulmonary system diseases, based on key literature covering isolation, engineering, and disease mechanisms. PEVs possess high biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, broad source availability, and scalability. Their bioactive cargo (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, secondary metabolites) regulates inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and fibrosis. This review systematically discusses PEV characteristics, large-scale isolation, and engineering approaches, with a focus on multi-target and cell-specific mechanisms in atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, COPD, and pulmonary fibrosis. Although challenges in standardization, in vivo mechanisms, and translation remain, engineered PEVs hold promise as efficient and safe nanomedicines. The unique contribution of this review is to integrate PEV preparation and engineering with their disease-specific mechanisms, providing a coherent framework for future translational research in cardiopulmonary nanomedicine.\n\nID: 42211882\nTitle: M1 macrophage-targeted engineered ginseng stems and leaves-derived extracellular vesicles delivery system for alleviating rheumatoid arthritis.\nAbstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent synovial inflammation, oxidative stress damage and joint destruction. Current treatments often face challenges including limited targeting efficacy and systemic side effects. To develop a novel targeted therapy for RA, this study constructed a functionalized extracellular vesicle (EV) system by engineering ginseng stems and leaves-derived EVs with hyaluronic acid (HA) modification and curcumin (Cur) loading (Cur@EVs-PH). Structurally, the EVs-PH drug-loaded nanoplatform integrates the remarkable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of EVs with the prolonged circulation capacity conferred by PEG. This design further capitalizes on the targeting ability of HA, thereby providing a robust structural foundation for the efficient delivery of therapeutics to disease sites. Our results demonstrated that the designed system achieved enhanced inflammatory targeting through CD44 receptor-mediated accumulation and exhibited potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In the collagen-induced arthritis model, Cur@EVs-PH significantly alleviated joint swelling, reduced pathological scores and normalized immune organ indices. Mechanistic studies revealed that the therapeutic effects were mediated through suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and promotion of macrophage M2 polarization. This integrated strategy combining natural EVs, targeted modification and active drug loading provides a promising platform for the treatment of RA and other inflammatory diseases.\n\nID: 42198272\nTitle: Engineered Plant-Derived Extracellular Vesicles: A Novel Strategy for Tumor-Targeted Therapy.\nAbstract: Cancer remains a leading cause of premature death worldwide, posing a significant burden due to its high incidence and mortality. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy remain the most well-established and effective modalities in the current oncological therapeutic arsenal. However, their efficacy is often limited by toxicities owing to their non-selective targeting of rapidly dividing cells and consequent damage to healthy tissues. In recent years, advances in nanomedicine and biotechnology have drawn increasing attention to plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) as an emerging, promising strategy for cancer therapy. As novel therapeutic vehicles, PDEVs offer key advantages, including high biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. However, their clinical translation has been significantly hampered by inherent limitations, including insufficient targeting specificity, low and uncontrollable drug-loading efficiency, and challenges in large-scale production and standardization. Current research is actively focused on overcoming these drawbacks through engineering strategies, for instance, surface modification with targeting peptides or antibodies to enhance targeting, alongside optimization of production and drug-loading processes. These developments underscore the potential of PDEVs as a promising platform for next-generation targeted cancer therapeutics. This review provides a comprehensive overview of PDEVs, covering their isolation, biogenesis, physicochemical properties, and anticancer applications. While summarizing these fundamental aspects, this review focuses on engineering strategies to enhance their active targeting capacity, offering theoretical insights to support their future role in cancer treatment.\n\nID: 42193239\nTitle: Recent Advances in Exosome-Based Therapeutic Strategies for Acute Lung Injury: Mechanisms and Translational Advances.\nAbstract: Inflammatory lung diseases are characterized by complex immune dysregulation and structural tissue damage, demanding the development of novel therapeutic and diagnostic strategies. Exosomes (Exos) have emerged as promising alternatives to address these challenges by serving as key mediators and effective therapeutic nanocarriers. This review systematically analyzes the multifunctional roles of Exos derived from various sources, including immune cells, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), lung structural cells, and non-mammalian sources such as plants and milk, in the context of inflammatory lung diseases. These vesicles modulate critical pathological processes, such as macrophage polarization, oxidative stress, and programmed cell death, by delivering functional cargos, including miRNAs and proteins. Studies demonstrating the antioxidant properties of Exos are classified, and their roles in attenuating oxidative stress-mediated lung injury are discussed. Furthermore, engineering and priming strategies, as well as airway-directed delivery methods such as nebulization, are reported to enhance therapeutic efficacy and targeting. Evidence also indicates that plant-derived Exos could be scalable and safer alternatives to mammalian cell-derived Exos. Collectively, Exos represent a next-generation platform for precision medicine, functioning as potent therapeutic agents and efficient drug-delivery systems for the treatment of complex inflammatory lung diseases.\n\nID: 42183199\nTitle: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles as emerging biotherapeutic agents and delivery vehicles for rheumatoid arthritis: evidence from preclinical models.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) are emerging as promising natural nanotherapeutics for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This review summarizes the therapeutic potential of PDEVs, highlighting their unique biological properties, multi-target mechanisms of action, and current application challenges. Accumulating evidence indicates that PDEVs can modulate immune responses, suppress inflammatory pathways, exert antioxidant effects, protect bone and cartilage, and influence the gut-joint axis. Meanwhile, engineering strategies, including drug loading, targeted modification and integration with smart materials, significantly enhance their therapeutic precision and stability. Despite their favorable biocompatibility and cross-barrier delivery potential, challenges such as insufficient standardization of isolation protocols, product heterogeneity, and limited mechanistic insight continue to hinder clinical translation. To date, the majority of studies have been conducted in cell culture or animal models, and clinical data remain unavailable. Future efforts should focus on standardization, in-depth mechanistic studies, and rigorous preclinical validation to accelerate clinical translation for RA and related inflammatory diseases.\n\nID: 42150513\nTitle: Ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles enable enhanced transdermal delivery of finasteride for androgenetic alopecia treatment.\nAbstract: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a highly prevalent hair loss disorder, and finasteride (FIN) is one of the two drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating AGA. The clinical use of finasteride for AGA is limited by its poor solubility and systemic adverse effects. To address the limitations of finasteride, we developed a drug delivery system using ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs). These nanoparticles were loaded with finasteride and integrated into a thermosensitive gel (FIN@GELNs-Gel) to enhance transdermal absorption. In vitro results demonstrated that the formulation promoted cell migration and angiogenesis, indicating its potential to improve the hair follicle microenvironment. In vivo study on AGA mouse models showed a significant reduction in dihydrotestosterone levels in both the skin and serum. Furthermore, the treatment upregulated VEGF and Ki67 expression, accelerated the telogen-to-anagen transition effectively, all without inducing histopathological abnormalities in major organs. These results collectively demonstrate that FIN@GELNs-Gel significantly enhances the therapeutic efficacy and biosafety of finasteride, showing promising potential as an effective topical treatment for AGA.\n\nID: 42100638\nTitle: Potential of extracellular vesicles from human Wharton's jelly and golden berries (Physalis peruviana) combined with polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan/fibroin hydrogel for wound healing: In vitro approaches on 1BR3 cell line.\nAbstract: The development of biocompatible delivery systems capable of enhancing wound healing remains a major challenge in drug delivery and regenerative medicine. Hydrogels represent promising wound dressings due to their ability to maintain a moist microenvironment, absorb exudates, and enable controlled release of bioactive agents. Recently, plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles have emerged as a novel, non-toxic, and cross-kingdom therapeutic modality. In this study, we investigated polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan/fibroin-based hydrogels as a delivery platform for plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles isolated from Physalis peruviana, with human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes used as a biological comparator. plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles isolated from Physalis peruviana and human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes were isolated and characterized in terms of size, morphology, and protein content. Composite hydrogels containing chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol, and fibroin (4 % and 10 %) were fabricated via freeze-thawing and characterized for hydrophilicity, swelling behaviour, water content, biodegradability, and protein release profiles. The biological performance of hydrogel-released media incorporating plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles or human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes was evaluated in vitro using human dermal fibroblast 1BR3 cells through cytotoxicity, proliferation, and scratch migration assays. The fabricated hydrogels exhibited hydrophilic surfaces (contact angle < 90\u00b0), high swelling capacity (> 100 %), low water content, and gradual biodegradation over 10 days. Protein release peaked on day 3, indicating favourable release kinetics for bioactive delivery. All hydrogel formulations demonstrated good biocompatibility, with cell viability exceeding 75 %. Notably, hydrogels loaded with plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles isolated from Physalis peruviana significantly promoted fibroblast proliferation and migration, with performance comparable to or exceeding that of human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes-loaded hydrogels, particularly in fibroin-containing formulations. These findings highlight the potential of Physalis peruviana-derived plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles as a novel bioactive agent for wound healing and demonstrate that polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan/fibroin hydrogels serve as an effective delivery platform to enhance their biological activity. This study supports the translational potential of plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles-based hydrogel systems for future wound healing applications.\n\nID: 42083016\nTitle: Scutellaria baicalensis exosome-like nanoparticles combat lung infection caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum by regulating calcium homeostasis.\nAbstract: Scutellaria baicalensis, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has demonstrated significant therapeutic efficacy in treating respiratory diseases caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG). However, the effective components of Scutellaria baicalensis are complex, and the material basis for its efficacy anti-MG infection remains unclear.\u00a0This study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which Scutellaria baicalensis exosome-like nanoparticles (SBELNs) and the key effector molecule, miR159a, regulate inflammation-induced injury caused by MG infection. SBELNs were isolated from Scutellaria baicalensis root by ultracentrifugation. The in vivo and in vitro transport of SBELNs was investigated through live imaging and laser confocal microscopy after staining with DIR fluorescent dye. Key miRNAs were screened via RNA sequencing, and target genes were predicted using online databases. The interaction between miR159a and its target gene, cyclic nucleotide-gated channel alpha 1 (CNGA1), was validated using a dual-luciferase reporter assay. Furthermore, the regulatory network of the miR159a/CNGA1 axis was systematically analyzed. SBELNs can specifically target lung tissue. Subsequently, SBELNs release bioactive components that alleviate the lung inflammatory damage caused by MG infection. This beneficial effect stems from two aspects. Firstly, the flavonoid metabolites encapsulated in SBELNs directly suppress the inflammatory damage caused by MG infection. Secondly, the microRNA in SBELNs regulates calcium ion homeostasis via the miR159a/CNGA1\u00a0axis. This relieves the intracellular calcium overload induced by MG and participates in the regulation of the immune system by modulating calcium ions. The microRNA in SBELNs regulates calcium ion homeostasis through the miR159a/CNGA1 axis, thereby alleviating MG-induced intracellular calcium overload, mitochondrial damage, excessive ROS, and overactivation of the NF-\u03baB inflammatory pathway. This article expounds that SBELNs alleviate lung injury caused by MG infection by regulating calcium homeostasis. This discovery demonstrates the anti-infective capability SBELNs, but also supports the development of natural drug delivery systems.\n\nID: 42061087\nTitle: Apple derived extracellular vesicles as positive modulators of glial inflammation and gut-brain axis signaling.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) are emerging as bioactive dietary particles with the capacity to modulate mammalian physiology. Here, we characterize the structure and functional properties of apple-derived extracellular vesicles (ADEVs) and evaluate their relevance to neuroimmune and gut-brain communication. ADEVs exhibit canonical PDEV features and elicit rapid IP\u2083-dependent Calcium (Ca\u00b2\u207a) signaling in fibroblasts while preserving blood-brain barrier integrity. Neural assays reveal marked cell-type specificity: ADEVs are efficiently internalized by glial cells and activate glial Ca\u00b2\u207a signaling yet display minimal neuronal uptake and no detectable Ca\u00b2\u207a response in differentiated SH-SY5Y neurons. Consistent with this selectivity, ADEVs attenuate TNF-\u03b1-induced cytokine secretion in activated glia but remain inert in resting neural cells. Although capable of encapsulating L-DOPA efficiently, ADEVs fail to deliver functional neuroprotection against rotenone toxicity, indicating limited neuronal compatibility for dopaminergic cargo. In parallel, using advanced in vitro colon simulation platforms, ADEVs modulate the colonic microbiome in a dose-dependent manner, promoting carbohydrate fermentation and short-chain fatty acid production while reducing proteolytic metabolism under physiologically relevant conditions, with sustained, region-specific effects during prolonged exposure. In vivo, ADEV administration in dogs with chronic intestinal inflammation is associated with altered circulating serotonin levels, suggesting engagement of gut-brain neurochemical pathways with potential implications for mood regulation. Collectively, these findings identify ADEVs as biocompatible, glia-responsive plant vesicles with potential neuromodulatory activity, while delineating intrinsic constraints in their use as neuronal drug-delivery systems.\n\nID: 42057025\nTitle: Chrysanthemum indicum L.-derived extracellular vesicles enhance the therapeutic efficacy of cyclosporine a against dry eye disease.\nAbstract: The pathological progression of dry eye disease (DED) involves a vicious cycle of oxidative stress and inflammation, posing a critical therapeutic challenge. Conventional therapies, such as cyclosporine A (CsA), are limited by poor corneal permeability and low ocular bioavailability. Here, we developed a novel, biocompatible nano-eye drop formulation using Chrysanthemum indicum L.-derived extracellular vesicles (CELNs) as a natural nanocarrier to engineer CsA-loaded CELNs (CsA@CELNs) for synergistic DED therapy. By combining CsA-mediated immunoregulation with enhanced corneal permeability and the intrinsic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of CELN, the CsA@CELNs effectively disrupts the core pathogenic feedback loop of DED. In vitro and in vivo data demonstrated that a one-week, twice daily topical treatment with CsA@CELNs alleviated oxidative stress by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activating the Nrf2/HO-1/NQO1 signaling pathway, while concurrently suppressing inflammation through inhibiting the NF-\u03baB pathway and promoting macrophage repolarization from the pro-inflammatory M1 to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. In a murine DED model, CsA@CELNs eye drop significantly restored tear secretion, promoted regeneration of corneal and conjunctival cells, and improved lacrimal gland histology. This multi-targeting CsA@CELNs system not only provides a safe and effective nanotherapeutic strategy for DED but also establishes plant-derived extracellular vesicles as a promising drug delivery platform for treating ocular surface and other inflammatory diseases.\n\nID: 42005709\nTitle: Research Progress and Preclinical Prospects of Plant-Derived Extracellular Vesicles in Targeted Delivery of Antitumor Drugs.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) have emerged as a novel class of bionanocarriers, garnering significant attention in the targeted delivery of antitumor drugs due to their low immunogenicity, excellent biocompatibility, and intrinsic antitumor properties. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the biological characteristics and extraction methods of PDEVs, emphasizing their recent advances in the field of antitumor drug delivery. We critically analyze the mechanisms by which PDEVs derived from various plants modulate the tumor microenvironment, enhance drug targeting specificity, and stimulate antitumor immunity. Furthermore, we discuss the advantages and current challenges faced by PDEVs as drug delivery vectors, including standardization, reproducibility, in vivo targeting evidence. The review also explores the promising potential of PDEVs in precision oncology, highlighting their role in improving therapeutic outcomes and minimizing off-target effects. This review aims to provide theoretical insights for the development and clinical application of PDVEs in the targeted delivery of anti-tumor drugs.\n\nID: 42005347\nTitle: Cargo-driven extracellular vesicles as pharmaceutical nanocarriers: A pharmaceutics-oriented comparison of animal exosomes and plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles.\nAbstract: Exosomes and plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs) are increasingly investigated as biologically derived nanocarriers that can couple cargo protection with biointerface-enabled transport. From a pharmaceutics standpoint, their therapeutic performance is often cargo-governed (e.g., microRNAs and proteins) and is ultimately constrained by delivery determinants such as stability, biodistribution, cellular uptake, and intracellular trafficking. In this review, we compare animal-derived exosomes (ADEs) and PELNs through a formulation-centric lens, emphasizing how source-dependent molecular composition shapes critical delivery behaviors and translational feasibility. We reorganize representative preclinical evidence into pharmaceutics-relevant delivery scenarios-including systemic/vascular targeting, blood-brain barrier transport, oral gastrointestinal delivery, and tumor microenvironment modulation-to connect cargo identity with exposure-site interactions and pharmacodynamic outcomes. We further discuss engineering strategies for improving payload control, targeting precision, and dosing accuracy, including endogenous enrichment, exogenous loading, and surface functionalization, while highlighting scale-up and safety considerations introduced by modification. Finally, we delineate translational priorities required to advance exosome-based products toward clinical development: standardized dose metrics (particle- and cargo-normalized), quantitative PK/biodistribution-PD relationships, potency assays and critical quality attributes (CQAs), manufacturing consistency under GMP, and regulatory-compliant characterization. Collectively, this review reframes ADEs and PELNs as cargo-driven pharmaceutical delivery systems and provides a practical roadmap for translation, with particular attention to the oral and scalable potential of PELNs.\n\nID: 42001355\nTitle: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles as a promising therapeutic and drug delivery strategy for tumor oxidative stress and inflammation.\nAbstract: Oxidative stress and chronic inflammation are key factors in tumor progression. Existing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory treatment methods are limited due to their specificity, bioavailability and impact on non-target sites. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs), as an innovative category of natural nanocarriers, effectively integrate therapeutic and delivery capabilities. They provide direct antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits by transporting bioactive phytochemicals and influencing key pathways. In addition, its inherent lipid bilayer structure promotes the effective encapsulation of therapeutic agents. Compared with synthetic systems, it has significant advantages in terms of biocompatibility, low immunogenicity and oral administration potential. However, the clinical application of PDEVs is hindered by challenges such as standardized isolation, batch-to-batch variability, unclear in vivo pharmacokinetics, and scalability. This review provides a critical synthesis of the current knowledge on PDEV biology, mechanisms of action, and engineering strategies, while offering a realistic analysis of translational prospects.\n\nID: 41938063\nTitle: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles in skin and bone tissue engineering: current status, challenges, and future perspectives.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) are bioactive nanoscale vesicles secreted by plant cells, which have recently gained attention as promising therapeutic agents in tissue engineering owing to their low immunogenicity, inherent biological activities, and potential as drug delivery vehicles. This review comprehensively outlines the general properties, application-specific characteristics, and isolation techniques of PDEVs, with a particular emphasis on their roles in facilitating cell proliferation, differentiation, and immunomodulation to promote tissue regeneration. We further discuss the therapeutic efficacy of PDEVs derived from various plant sources across different tissue engineering contexts, as well as the application of engineered PDEVs in tailored regenerative strategies. In comparison to mammalian extracellular vesicles, PDEVs present distinct advantages, including minimized ethical concerns and reduced risks of immune rejection. Nevertheless, challenges remain for their clinical translation, such as the lack of standardized isolation protocols and inadequate assessment of long-term in vivo safety. This article synthesizes current understanding of PDEVs, underscores their multifunctional potential, and offers perspectives on engineering approaches aimed at enhancing their therapeutic performance. With continued development, PDEVs may emerge as innovative tools in tissue engineering, facilitating tissue repair and regeneration either through their innate bioactivity or as engineered drug delivery systems.\n\nID: 41922097\nTitle: Microneedle-Based Codelivery of Platycladus orientalis-Derived Extracellular Vesicles and Minoxidil Nanoparticles for Androgenetic Alopecia Treatment.\nAbstract: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a common hair disorder in which limited follicular drug delivery and an inflammatory and oxidative follicular microenvironment reduce topical efficacy. Herein, we developed a fast-dissolving microneedle (MN) patch of chondroitin sulfate and carboxymethyl chitosan for localized codelivery of Platycladus orientalis leaf-derived extracellular vesicles (PO-EVs) and minoxidil nanoparticles (MXD NPs). PO-EVs were separated and characterized as nanoscale vesicles and were shown to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pro-angiogenic activities relevant to hair follicle maintenance. MXD NPs were prepared by thin-film hydration to improve the minoxidil solubility and local retention. Both were loaded into microneedles with sufficient mechanical strength that could dissolve rapidly in the skin. In a mouse model of androgenic alopecia, repeated dual-loaded MN treatment accelerated the telogen-to-anagen transition, increased hair-covered area and shaft thickness, and restored follicular morphology. Mechanistic studies showed that hair follicle stem cells were activated and proliferated, perifollicular oxidative stress and inflammation were reduced, and microvessel density around hair follicles was increased. No evident skin irritation or systemic toxicity was observed. This MN codelivery strategy improves hair regrowth by combining efficient minoxidil delivery with PO-EV-mediated microenvironment restoration and may be extended to other inflammatory/oxidative skin disorders impairing regeneration.\n\nID: 41909467\nTitle: Exosome-like nanovesicles from acerola for CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoprotein delivery to the central nervous system.\nAbstract: An aberrant six-base repeat in intron 1 of C9orf72 is the most frequent cause of solitary and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. This mutation is a potential target for CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing. However, the blood-brain barrier and limitations of current viral or nanoparticle-based delivery systems to neurons significantly restrict the clinical application of CRISPR-Cas9 in the brain. To address these challenges, we developed a drug delivery system using acerola-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (AELNs), which may overcome several limitations associated with human exosomes. AELNs stably form complexes with ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) comprised of Cas9 proteins and guide RNAs (gRNAs). We improved the delivery efficiency and selectivity of AELN/RNP complexes in GLP2-receptor-expressing neurons by incorporating GLP2 peptides into the AELN/RNP complexes. Intranasal administration of peptide-tagged AELN/RNP complexes in vivo confirmed the successful genome editing of C9orf72, demonstrating the potential of this system for treating neurodegenerative diseases. This study presents a potentially innovative approach for in vivo genome editing using a noninvasive delivery system.\n\nID: 42473224\nTitle: Salvia Miltiorrhiza Nanovesicles: A Strategy to Reprogram Myeloid Cells for Atherosclerosis Therapy via Immune Modulation.\nAbstract: Research has shown that herbal medicine-derived vesicles act as biological agents and drug carriers. This study explores how Salvia miltiorrhiza nanovesicles alleviate atherosclerosis by regulating myeloid cells and inflammation. We prepared SDNVs using high-speed centrifugation and analyzed them with nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and live imaging. Atherosclerosis was studied in ApoE-/- mice using models with bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM). Macrophages were classified with immunofluorescence staining, and cytokines and inflammatory factors were measured using qRT-PCR and ELISA. Flow cytometry identified bone marrow stem cells, progenitor cells, and blood cell types. SDNVs exhibited characteristics of plant extracellular vesicles and significantly lowered total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL levels in atherosclerotic mice. Immunofluorescence staining showed fewer pro-inflammatory (M1) macrophages and more anti-inflammatory (M2) macrophages in arterial plaques. qRT-PCR and ELISA revealed reduced levels of inflammatory markers in the aorta and serum. Flow cytometry showed decreased bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells (Lin- Sca-1+ cKit+), progenitor cells (MPP4), and monocytes and neutrophils in peripheral blood. SDNVs also inhibited M1 polarization and promoted M2 polarization in BMDMs. SDNVs exert potent anti-atherosclerotic effects through lipid regulation and immune modulation, thus advancing PDEV-based therapeutic strategies for atherosclerosis. Limitations involve the use of a single ApoE-/- mouse model and unclear underlying mechanisms of cellular SDNV uptake. SDNVs demonstrate immune-regulating and anti-inflammatory effects. They effectively enter the body and modulate bone marrow cell, blood cell production, macrophage behavior, and inflammation, thereby slowing the progression of atherosclerosis.\n\nID: 42465462\nTitle: Ebola virus exploits host lncRNA LINC01740 to enhance ATF3 and suppress antiviral immune responses.\nAbstract: Ebola virus (EBOV) infection causes severe hemorrhagic fever marked by dysregulated cytokine production, impaired antiviral defenses, and multi-organ failure. Macrophages are primary targets of EBOV, and viral replication profoundly alters macrophage transcriptional programs, driving hyperinflammation. Although long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly recognized as regulators of immunity and viral pathogenesis, their roles in EBOV infection remain poorly understood. We performed comprehensive transcriptomic profiling of primary human monocyte-derived macrophages infected with the highly pathogenic EBOV Mayinga variant. Infection triggered extensive remodeling of both coding and non-coding transcriptomes, including hundreds of differentially expressed lncRNAs. Functional analysis of neighboring protein-coding genes of EBOV-induced lncRNAs (EVILs) revealed enrichment of pathways linked to cytokine signaling, transcriptional regulation, and cell signaling, all of which are central to Ebola virus disease (EVD) pathogenesis. Among the most strongly induced EVILs, LINC01740 and its neighboring protein-coding gene, Activating Transcription Factor 3 (ATF3), were significantly upregulated. Antisense oligonucleotide-mediated inhibition of LINC01740 reduced ATF3 mRNA and protein levels. CRISPR/Cas13d-mediated knockdown of ATF3 restored type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling and antiviral gene expression in EBOV-infected macrophages. Mechanistically, ATF3 functions as a negative regulator of IFN-I and type I interferon-stimulated gene expression, thereby suppressing antiviral immune responses in EBOV-infected macrophages. Together, these findings identify a previously unrecognized LINC01740-ATF3-IFN-I regulatory axis that EBOV exploits to promote immune suppression and viral replication.\n\nID: 42178839\nTitle: Peroxidase-Enriched Extracellular Vesicles from Ginkgo biloba Ameliorate Acute Lung Injury via ROS Scavenging, M2 Macrophage Polarization and Barrier Protection.\nAbstract: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe pulmonary disorder characterized by inflammation, oxidative stress, and poor pulmonary barrier, resulting in high incidence and mortality. Due to no specific therapeutic agents, therapeutic strategies are urgently required. Ginkgo biloba, a living fossil in the plant kingdom, has been employed for millennia in treating lung diseases. Here, we isolated and characterized extracellular vesicles from G. biloba (GbEVs). GbEVs demonstrated excellent stability and specific tropism for the lungs. Proteomic analysis and nontarget metabolomics revealed a distinct profile enriched in peroxidases and containing small amounts of ginkgolides and flavonoids, implying potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In vitro, GbEVs significantly suppressed lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cytokine storm and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, thereby mitigating inflammatory responses, preserving epithelial-endothelial integrity, and restoring the balance of macrophage subsets. In the ALI model, GbEV administration significantly restored weight loss, improved pulmonary edema, alleviated tissue damage, and relieved pro-inflammatory states, especially maintaining the balance of M1/M2 macrophage polarization. Furthermore, we stablished a plant cell suspension culture system to scale up the production of GbEV-like nanovesicles with comparable properties, in similar morphology and bioactivity. Our research has identified GbEVs as a pharmacological basis for G. biloba and, for the first time, demonstrated its potent efficacy against inflammatory diseases, particularly pneumonia.\n\nID: 41993095\nTitle: Postnatal Maxillofacial \"Developing\" Decellularized Extracellular Matrix Orchestrates Hierarchical Cross-Organ Regeneration via Macrophage Integrin \u03b1v\u03b25-Mediated Efferocytosis-Driven Developmental Recapitulation.\nAbstract: Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) leverages native architecture and bioactive components for tissue regeneration, yet its therapeutic efficacy is constrained by donor tissue maturity. While mature-tissue-derived dECM (Mat-dECM) lacks developmental signals, developmental-stage dECM (Dev-dECM) retains these cues but is limited by scarce sources and poor adaptability to adult environments. Here, we proposed postnatal maxillofacial odontogenic tissues as a novel Dev-dECM (pDev-dECM) source. Leveraging its unique trans-stage development-spanning embryonic crown formation to postnatal periodontal maturation-pDev-dECM balances developmental potency with adult environment adaptability. Multiomics comparative analysis revealed that pDev-dECM is enriched in arginylglycylaspartic-acid-containing proteins, which activate macrophage integrin \u03b1v\u03b25-mediated efferocytosis. This mechanism drives macrophage polarization toward regenerative M2 phenotypes, ensures adaptability to the adult environment, and reprograms mesenchymal stem cells to orchestrate developmental recapitulation. Consequently, pDev-dECM not only enabled in\u00a0situ hierarchical regeneration of the periodontal complex but also facilitated cross-organ hierarchical regeneration in skin and muscle defect models. These findings demonstrate that pDev-dECM exerts spatiotemporal control over developmental recapitulation, establishing a universal biomaterial paradigm for multiscale tissue reconfiguration.\n\nID: 41898580\nTitle: Apple-Derived Vesicles Orchestrate Bone Regeneration: In Vitro Proof of Concept.\nAbstract: The immune microenvironment critically influences bone healing, particularly in the oral cavity where inflammation and microbial biofilms can compromise regeneration. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) offer a biocompatible means to modulate immune responses, and apple-derived extracellular vesicles (ADEVs) have shown antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, although their osteoregenerative potential remains unclear. Here, we investigate the indirect effects of ADEVs on bone regeneration by assessing how their immunomodulatory action on macrophages influences the osteogenic commitment of human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). ADEVs were isolated, characterized, and applied to THP-1-derived macrophages to evaluate polarization via morphology and immunofluorescence for M1 (iNOS) and M2 (ARG1) markers. Then, the extracellular vesicles (EVs) from untreated and ADEV-treated macrophages were isolated and applied to DPSCs. All EVs were efficiently internalized by both macrophages and DPSCs. Treated macrophages shifted toward an M2-like phenotype, and macrophage-derived EVs (MDEVs) promoted stem cell morphological features consistent with osteogenic activation. These findings suggest that ADEVs promote osteoregeneration indirectly by influencing macrophage polarization and modifying the osteoactive cargo of MDEVs, thereby supporting their potential in cell-free, immunomodulatory approaches for oral bone regeneration.\n\nID: 41853242\nTitle: Anti-inflammatory potential of plant-derived extracellular vesicles from Solanum nigrum L. integrated in gelatine-dopamine hydrogel on RAW 264.7 and MC3T3 cells.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEV) from Solanum nigrum L. fruit show promise as a cell-free regenerative and inflammatory therapy for bone defects due to their anti-inflammatory properties. However, challenges such as storage stability and targeted delivery efficiency remain in PDEV's applications. Strategies such as lyophilization and injectable hydrogel delivery systems offer potential solutions. In this study, lyophilized PDEVs derived from Solanum nigrum L. berries were incorporated into a thermosensitive injectable gelatine-dopamine (Gel-Dop) hydrogel and evaluated by in vitro for their anti-inflammatory potential using MC3T3 pre-osteoblast cells and RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. The isolated PDEVs show a spherical morphology, an average size of approximately 132.6 nm, a polydispersity index of 0.197, and a protein concentration of 509 \u03bcg mL-1. These PDEVs were efficiently internalized by MC3T3 and RAW 264.7 cells after 12 hours of incubation and showed no cytotoxic effects at concentrations up to 10 \u03bcg mL-1. The release profile confirmed that the hydrogel effectively released the PDEVs, which remained non-toxic and were internalized by cells after 12 hours of incubation. Subsequently, treatment of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated MC3T3 and RAW 264.7 cells with PDEVs led to a reduction in IL-6 protein expression. These findings suggest that lyophilized PDEVs from Solanum nigrum L. berries, when incorporated into Gel-Dop hydrogel, hold promise for future development as an anti-inflammatory agent in bone therapy. This study is the first to characterize and incorporate lyophilized PDEVs from Solanum nigrum L. into thermosensitive injectable Gel-Dop hydrogel and demonstrate their anti-inflammatory potential through the suppression IL-6 expression in LPS-stimulated MC3T3 and RAW 264.7 cells.\n\nID: 41655019\nTitle: LpqH-tagged microvesicles as mRNA vaccine carriers for specific delivery of mRNA into macrophages.\nAbstract: Insufficient accumulation of lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-encapsulated mRNA vaccines within antigen-presenting cells (APCs) remains a key barrier to eliciting potent immune responses. Genetically engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs) present a highly adaptable and precisely tunable platform for the efficient delivery of small molecules to specific types of cells. In this study, we exploited a pseudotyping-based approach to load both exosome and microvesicle (MV) membranes with the ectodomain of LpqH (LpqH48-159) by engineering the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) glycoprotein. Our findings demonstrated that loading the LpqH ectodomain onto the surface of exosomes or MVs led to an increase in targeting macrophages compared with commercialized LNPs. Meanwhile, LpqH48-159-tagged MVs (LpqH-MVs) exhibit not only a higher efficiency in macrophage targeting but also greater mRNA encapsulation efficiency compared to LpqH48-159-tagged exosomes. In a vaccine-related application, compared to the LNPs, the LpqH-MVs loaded with mRNA encoding the enterovirus 71 capsid protein (VP1) or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) receptor-binding domain (RBD) elicited stronger humoral and adaptive immune responses against viral infection via intramuscular or inhalable immunization, respectively. Our study demonstrated that LpqH-MVs serve as a promising platform for mRNA vaccine delivery, enhancing APC targeting capabilities and thereby providing robust immune protection.\n\nID: 41506080\nTitle: Exosomes derived from avian influenza virus-infected chickens modulate host immune responses.\nAbstract: Exosomes are emerging as key mediators of host-pathogen interactions, particularly as carriers of viral components during infection. This study aims to examine the immunomodulatory effects of serum-derived exosomes from Brown Leghorn chickens infected with low pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAIV) or highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV). These exosomes (CTRL-EXO [noninfected], LPAIV-EXO, and HPAIV-EXO) were intramuscularly injected into na\u00efve chickens, after which tissues and serum were collected. Cytokine gene expression in immune-related tissues (lung, spleen, and trachea) was quantified through reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction to evaluate the immune response. Unlike the lung and trachea, the spleen showed the strongest immune response following exosome injection, associated with elevated antiviral cytokines and interferons in the AIV-exosome group. In parallel, these exosomes were applied to chicken macrophage HD11 cells to determine cellular uptake and cytokine expression using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Furthermore, immunocytochemistry was performed to detect exosome-delivered viral nucleoprotein and nonstructural protein 1 proteins in HD11 cells. LPAIV-EXO induced the strongest immune activation, evidenced by increased cytokine expression and immunochemical detection of viral proteins. Collectively, these findings indicate that AIV-derived exosomes modulate host immune responses in vivo and in vitro, underscoring their potential in immune regulation and vaccine development.\n\nID: 41461033\nTitle: Ebola virus matrix protein VP40 triggers inflammatory responses linked to the ebolavirus virulence.\nAbstract: Uncontrolled systemic inflammatory responses are a critical pathological feature of fatal Ebola virus (EBOV) infection. While some inflammatory responses may originate from mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs), nonimmune cells vastly outnumber MNPs and may be an important source of inflammation. Here, we demonstrated that highly virulent EBOV induced a high and sustained pro-inflammatory response compared to less virulent ebolaviruses in non-MNPs through TLR4-independent NF-\u03baB activation. We identified the EBOV matrix protein VP40 as a potent activator of NF-\u03baB in non-MNPs, whose intrinsic inflammatory activation ability is higher than VP40 proteins from less virulent ebolaviruses. This suggests that VP40 is a virulence determinant inducing distinct degrees of pro-inflammatory responses among ebolaviruses. Mechanistically, VP40 activated the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway, primarily via TNFR1 using a ligand-independent mechanism. These findings reveal mechanisms that may drive systemic inflammation and promote EBOV pathogenesis, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies to mitigate immune dysregulation in severe EBOV infections.\n\nID: 41404424\nTitle: Hydrogel-Wrapped Calendula officinalis L. extracellular vesicles - A novel approach to enhance fracture healing by Macrophage reprogramming.\nAbstract: Fracture healing is a complex process often complicated by nonunion and delayed healing, with macrophage polarization being a key regulator of inflammation and tissue repair. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has identified genes highly expressed in M1 macrophages at fracture sites, which are closely linked to macrophage polarization. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have shown potential as anti-inflammatory agents but are limited by short duration of action and poor targeting. In this study, we used scRNA-seq to elucidate the mechanisms of M1 macrophage polarization during fracture healing and identified MMP12 as a target regulated by Calendula officinalis L.-derived EVs (COEVs) through network pharmacology. To enhance the therapeutic potential of COEVs, we developed a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive hydrogel encapsulating COEVs modified with phosphatidylserine (PS) for macrophage targeting. The hydrogel demonstrated excellent mechanical properties, injectability, self-healing, and ROS responsiveness. Comprehensive in vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed its biocompatibility, ability to regulate target genes, macrophage reprogramming, and osteogenic promotion, offering a novel therapeutic approach for fracture repair.\n\nID: 40791857\nTitle: Restoration of tendon repair microenvironment by grapefruit exosome-loaded microneedle system for tendinopathy therapy.\nAbstract: Tendinitis repair remains challenging due to the limited self-renewal capacity of tenocytes and persistent inflammatory microenvironment. Conventional therapies remain limited by systemic drug toxicity and fail to coordinate immunomodulation with matrix remodeling. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles have demonstrated tissue repair potential owing to their unique bioactive components and exceptional cross-species compatibility. Nevertheless, their therapeutic role in tendon matrix regeneration remains underexplored. Here, we developed a grapefruit-derived exosome-loaded microneedle patch (MN@GF-Exos) to synergistically restored tendon structure and functions. Grapefruit-derived exosomes (GF-Exos) were loaded into dissolvable hyaluronic acid microneedles (MNs) for sustained release. GF-Exos reversed oxidative stress in tenocytes, enhancing cellular proliferation and migration, restoring collagen I synthesis, and polarizing macrophages toward M2-repair phenotypes. Transcriptomics revealed GF-Exos modulated cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions, suppressing inflammation-related pathways and activating ECM organization genes. In collagenase-induced tendinopathy mice, MN@GF-Exos enhanced gait recovery and extracellular matrix remodeling. Histology confirmed reduced fibrosis without ectopic ossification. Systemic safety was validated by unchanged organ histology and within-normal-limits serum biomarkers. This dual-functional system leverages plant exosomes' multi-component synergy and MN's spatiotemporal control, offering a translatable strategy for chronic tendon regeneration.\n\nID: 40431699\nTitle: Development of a Pentacistronic Ebola Virus Minigenome System.\nAbstract: Ebola virus (EBOV) causes severe disease outbreaks in humans with high case fatality rates. EBOV requires adaptation to cause lethal disease in mice by acquiring single mutations in both the nucleoprotein (NP) and VP24 genes. As an attempt to model mouse-adapted EBOV (MA-EBOV), we engineered novel pentacistronic minigenomes (5xMG) containing a reporter gene, VP40, and glycoprotein genes as well as the NP and VP24 genes from either EBOV or MA-EBOV. The 5xMGs were constructed and optimized, and the produced transcription- and replication-competent virus-like particles (trVLPs) were demonstrated to infect several cell lines. Introduction of the mouse-adaptation mutations did not significantly impact the replication and transcription of the 5xMG or the relative infectivity of the trVLPs in vitro. This work demonstrates the development of the 5xMG system as a new versatile tool to study EBOV biology.\n\nID: 40347599\nTitle: Exosomes derived from African swine fever virus-infected pigs mediate immune responses through NF-\u03baB and JAK-STAT signaling pathways.\nAbstract: African swine fever (ASF) virus (ASFV) is an infectious disease that affects the pig industry, causing up to 85\u00a0% morbidity and 100\u00a0% mortality. To date, there are no available vaccines against ASFV. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that are released from most cell types. Exosomes carry components such as nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins that play a vital role in cell-to-cell communication. This study investigated the effect of exosomes derived from the serum of ASFV-infected pigs on a porcine macrophage cell line. Exosomes derived from the serum of pigs infected with ASFV contained ASFV structural proteins (p30 and p72). Expression levels of interferon (IFN)-\u03b1, IFN-\u03b3, IL-6, and CXCL8 in porcine macrophage cells were affected by exposure to exosomes derived from the serum of ASFV-infected pigs. Nuclear factor-\u03baB (NF-\u03baB) and Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway play an important role in the immune response to ASFV infection. Exosomes derived from ASFV-infected pigs affected mRNA and protein levels of NF-\u03baB, tank binding kinase 1 (TBK1), JAK1, JAK2, and STAT1, suggesting that exosomes derived from ASFV-infected pigs mediate antiviral response by modulating the expression of inflammatory cytokines and activity of the NF-\u03baB and JAK-STAT signaling pathways. The present study provides novel information about the immunomodulatory effects of exosome derived from pigs infected with ASFV, improving our understanding of ASFV pathogenesis and the host immune response to ASFV infection.\n\nID: 40295691\nTitle: Human macrophages infected with Egyptian Rousette bat-isolated Marburg virus display inter-individual susceptibility and antiviral responsiveness.\nAbstract: Marburg virus (MARV) is a highly pathogenic filovirus and a causative agent of sporadic zoonotic viral hemorrhagic fever outbreaks with high case fatality rates. In humans, filoviruses like MARV and Zaire Ebola virus (EBOV) target, among others, innate immune cells like dendritic cells and macrophages (M\u03a6s). Filovirus-infected dendritic cells display impaired maturation and antigen presentation, while M\u03a6s become hyper-activated and secrete proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Our current understanding of human macrophage responses to MARV remains limited. Here, we used human monocyte-derived macrophages (moM\u03a6s) to address how their phenotype, transcriptional profile, and protein expression change upon an in vitro infection with a bat isolate of MARV. Confirming its tropism for macrophages, we show that MARV induces notable shifts in their transcription distinct from responses induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), marked by upregulated gene expression of several chemokines, type I interferons, and IFN-stimulated genes. MARV infection also elicited pronounced inter-individually different transcriptional programs in moM\u03a6s, the induction of Wnt signaling-associated genes, and the downregulation of multiple biological processes and molecular pathways.\n\nID: 40251448\nTitle: Metabolic remodelling produces fumarate via the aspartate-argininosuccinate shunt in macrophages as an antiviral defence.\nAbstract: Metabolic remodelling underpins macrophage effector functions in response to various stimuli, but the mechanisms involved are unclear. Here we report that viral-infection-induced inflammatory stimulation causes a rewiring of the urea cycle and the tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolism in macrophages to form a cyclic pathway called the aspartate-argininosuccinate (AAS) shunt. Using RNA sequencing, unbiased metabolomics and stable isotope tracing, we found that fumarate generated from the AAS shunt is driven by argininosuccinate synthase (ASS1) in the cytosol and potentiates inflammatory effects. Genetic ablation of ASS1 reduces intracellular fumarate levels and interferon-\u03b2 production, and mitochondrial respiration is also suppressed. Notably, viral challenge or fumarate esters enhance interferon-\u03b2 production via direct succination of the mitochondrial antiviral signalling protein and activation of the retinoic acid-inducible gene-I-like receptor signalling. In addition to the vesicular stomatitis virus, the Sendai virus and influenza A virus can also exert these effects. In addition, patients with Ebola virus disease have increased ASS1 expression and ASS1-deficient mice show suppressed macrophage interferon responses to vesicular stomatitis virus infection. These findings reveal that fumarate can be produced from the viral inflammation-induced AAS shunt and is essential for antiviral innate immunity.\n\nID: 40081398\nTitle: Associations of inflammatory markers with post-acute clinical findings among survivors of Ebola virus disease with and without viral RNA shedding in the semen in Liberia: a nested case-control study.\nAbstract: A high proportion of survivors of Ebola virus disease (EVD) have post-acute sequelae of EVD (PASE), but the relationship between inflammation and PASE pathogenesis is poorly understood. This study tests the hypothesis that inflammation is associated with PASE among survivors with and without viral RNA shedding in the semen. This was a case-control study nested in a longitudinal cohort that recruited confirmed survivors of EVD and their uninfected contacts from the 2013-16\u00a0EVD epidemic in Liberia, starting on June 1, 2015. We included participants aged at least 18\u00a0years with clinical data and plasma available at cohort baseline for analysis. A\u00a0semen donation substudy tested male survivors for Ebola virus RNA shedding in the semen. A sex-stratified and survivor-stratified random sample of cases (survivors) and controls (contacts) was obtained to select stored baseline plasma samples for cytokine testing of markers of inflammation, immune regulation, and antiviral responses. Serostatus of cases and controls was confirmed by Filovirus Animal Nonclinical Group assay. We identified inflammatory markers (adjusted p\u22640\u00b705) elevated in cases compared with controls and then used these biomarkers in analyses comparing survivors with and without pre-specified PASE-associated clinical findings (self-reported symptoms and abnormal examination findings). Survivors with viral RNA shedding in the semen formed subgroup analyses. Our analysis cohort consisted of 1044\u00a0participants (594 survivors of EVD and 450\u00a0uninfected contacts); 515\u00a0(49\u00b73%) were female and 529 (50\u00b77%) were male. The subcohort of 243\u00a0male survivors with data on viral shedding included 81 (33%) participants with viral shedding in semen. Median time from acute EVD to baseline was 317\u00a0days (IQR 271-366). Survivors of EVD showed a pattern of elevated inflammatory markers indicative of macrophage (MCP-1, IL-1\u03b2, and M-CSF) and angiogenic factor activation (VEGF-A) compared with controls (adjusted p<0\u00b705). In\u00a0survivors with viral shedding in the semen compared with controls, VEGF-A was the only inflammatory marker that was significantly higher (adjusted p<0\u00b7001). After restricting the analysis to survivors, each inflammatory marker had a specific pattern of clinical findings. Higher levels of IL-1\u03b2 were associated with higher odds of urinary frequency (p=0\u00b7002), musculoskeletal abnormalities (p=0\u00b7003), and abdominal abnormalities (p=0\u00b703). By contrast, higher levels of MCP-1 were associated with lower odds of the same clinical findings. M-CSF was the only inflammatory marker associated with lower odds of joint pain (p=0\u00b704). Higher levels of VEGF-A were associated with higher odds of abnormal chest findings in the overall survivor group (p=0\u00b702) and in the subgroup with viral shedding in the semen (p=0\u00b702). We found evidence of distinct biological pathways for PASE. Although viral RNA shedding in the semen could be associated with angiogenic activation, it did not explain many of the PASE symptoms and exam findings associated with the elevated macrophage markers, suggesting the pathobiology of some clinical manifestations might be autoimmunity, immune dysregulation, or another biological mechanism. These findings could inform shared biological pathways with other infection-associated chronic conditions, including post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

To avoid off-target expression in the liver, miR-122 binding sites have been used by others in viral and non-viral therapeutics. Here, we use a luciferase reporter system to compare different copy numbers and insertion locations of miR-122 binding sequences to restrict liver expression. We inserted one to five miR-122 binding sites into the 5' or 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of luciferase mRNAs and tested them in LNPs in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo via systemic intravenous and local intramuscular injections in mice. Our results showed no significant differences in de-targeting efficacy between mRNAs harboring one or multiple miR-122 binding sites or between those with 5' or 3' UTR placements. To test the impact of miR-122 binding sites on antibody response to a mRNA vaccine, Ebola virus matrix protein VP40 mRNAs were modified with or without miR-122 binding sites and injected in mice intramuscularly. This work reinforces the utility of miR-122 binding sites while providing a comparison of these sites to aid the future development of LNP-mRNA therapies for non-hepatic tissues.\n\nID: 39849554\nTitle: Folic acid-modified ginger-derived extracellular vesicles for targeted treatment of rheumatoid arthritis by remodeling immune microenvironment via the PI3K-AKT pathway.\nAbstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a form of autoimmune inflammation, is marked by enduring synovial inflammation and the subsequent impairment of joint function. Despite the availability of conventional treatments, they are often marred by significant side effects and the associated high costs. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) offer a compelling alternative, owing to their abundant availability, affordability, low immunogenicity, high biocompatibility, and feasibility for large-scale production. These vesicles enhance intercellular communication by transferring intrinsic bioactive molecules. In our research, we delve into the capacity of PEVs to treat RA, highlighting the role of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (GDEVs). By conjugating GDEVs with folic acid (FA), we have developed FA-GDEVs that maintain their inherent immunomodulatory properties. FA-GDEVs are designed to selectively target M1 macrophages in inflamed joints via the folate receptors (FRs). Our in vitro findings indicate that FA-GDEVs promote the polarization towards a reparative M2 macrophage phenotype by modulating the PI3K-AKT pathway. Further corroboration comes from in vivo studies, which demonstrate that FA-GDEVs not only concentrate efficiently in the affected joints but also markedly reduce the manifestations of RA. Synthesizing these findings, it is evident that FA-GDEVs emerge as a hopeful candidate for RA treatment, offering benefits such as safety, affordability, and therapeutic efficacy.\n\nID: 39832622\nTitle: Peptide fibrils as a vaccine: Proof of concept.\nAbstract: Rapid vaccine platforms development is crucial for responding to epidemics and pandemics of emerging infectious diseases, such as Ebola. This study explores the potential of peptide vaccines that self-organize into amyloid-like fibrils, aiming to enhance immunogenicity while considering safety and cross-reactivity. We synthesized two peptides, G33 and G31, corresponding to a segment of the Ebola virus GP2 protein, with G33 known to form amyloid-like fibrils. Their toxicity was assessed in vitro using an MTT assay on MDCK and A549 cell cultures. For in vivo studies, balb/c mice were immunized with these peptides. Immunogenicity was gauged by ELISA for specific antibodies against the recombinant eGP protein. Hematological parameters were determined, and histopathological changes in organs were documented post-euthanasia. Both peptides exhibited no cytotoxicity up to 500\u00a0\u03bcg/mL. G33-immunized mice developed higher antibody titers than those receiving G31 or control, without significant alterations in hematological profiles. However, histological analysis showed periportal infiltration and lymphoid-macrophage clusters in the liver and kidneys, suggesting immune response activation. The homology between the G33 peptide and mammalian proteins poses risks of cross-reactivity. The amyloid-like fibrils formed by the G33 peptide elicited a stronger immune response without significant hematological changes, underlining the feasibility of fibril-based peptide vaccines. However, the potential for autoimmune responses due to molecular mimicry warrants further investigation before clinical applications can be considered.\n\nID: 39635525\nTitle: Hepatic and pulmonary macrophage activity in a mucosal challenge model of Ebola virus disease.\nAbstract: The inflammatory macrophage response contributes to severe Ebola virus disease, with liver and lung injury in humans. We sought to further define the activation status of hepatic and pulmonary macrophage populations in Ebola virus disease. We compared liver and lung tissue from terminal Ebola virus (EBOV)-infected and uninfected control cynomolgus macaques challenged via the conjunctival route. Gene and protein expression was quantified using the nCounter and GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiling platforms. Macrophage phenotypes were further quantified by digital pathology analysis. Hepatic macrophages in the EBOV-infected group demonstrated a mixed inflammatory/non-inflammatory profile, with upregulation of CD163 protein expression, associated with macrophage activation syndrome. Hepatic macrophages also showed differential expression of gene sets related to monocyte/macrophage differentiation, antigen presentation, and T cell activation, which were associated with decreased MHC-II allele expression. Moreover, hepatic macrophages had enriched expression of genes and proteins targetable with known immunomodulatory therapeutics, including S100A9, IDO1, and CTLA-4. No statistically significant differences in M1/M2 gene expression were observed in hepatic macrophages compared to controls. The significant changes that occurred in both the liver and lung were more pronounced in the liver. These data demonstrate that hepatic macrophages in terminal conjunctivally challenged cynomolgus macaques may express a unique inflammatory profile compared to other macaque models and that macrophage-related pharmacologically druggable targets are expressed in both the liver and the lung in Ebola virus disease.\n\nID: 39529637\nTitle: IFN-treated macrophage-derived exosomes prevents HBV-HCC migration and invasion via regulating miR-106b-3p/PCGF3/PI3K/AKT signaling axis.\nAbstract: Studies revealed that exosomes from IFN-\u03b1-treated liver non-parenchymal cells (IFN-exo) mediate antiviral activity. MiR-106b-3p has been shown to play a paradoxical role in disease progressing from different studies. However, its specific role in HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-HCC) and the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Huh7 cells transient transfected with plasmids of HBV-C2 and B3 were co-cultured with IFN-exo. Cell supernatants were collected to detect miR-106b-3p, HBsAg, HBeAg and HBV DNA levels. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion were analyzed. The putative targets of miR-106b-3p were identified by a dual-luciferase reporter system. The expression of PCGF3, migratory proteins(MMP2/9), and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway-related proteins were assessed by western blot. The expression of PCGF3 mRNA was quantitative analyzed by using 52 pairs of paraffin-embedded tissues from HCC patients. siRNAs-PCGF3 were used to knocked-down PCGF3 expression. The expression of miR-106b-3p was significantly higher in THP-1 cells and supernatants treated with IFN-exo than those untreated. Significantly increased expression of miR-106b-3p and decreased expression of HBsAg and HBV DNA were observed in Huh7-C2/B3 cells treated with IFN-exo. In addition, miR-106b-3p was directly target to PCGF3. Scratch healing assay and transwell assay showed that either IFN-exo or miRNA-106-3p over-expression, or siRNAs-PCGF3 inhibited migration and invasion of Huh7-C2/B3 cells, and subsequently resulted in suppression of p-AKT/AKT and p-PI3K/PI3K. Notably, the expression level of PCGF3 was significantly lower in HBeAg (+)-HCC tumor tissues than HBeAg (-)-HCC tumor. IFN-\u03b1-induced macrophage-derived miR-106b-3p inhibits HBV replication, HBV- Huh7 cells migration and invasion via regulating PCGF3/PI3K/AKT signaling axis. miR-106b-3p and PCGF3 were potential biomarkers in the prevention and treatment of HBV-HCC.\n\nID: 39380677\nTitle: African swine fever virus RNA polymerase subunits C315R and H359L inhibition host translation by activating the PKR-eIF2a pathway and suppression inflammatory responses.\nAbstract: ASFV C315R is homologous to the transcription factor TFIIB of large unclassified DNA viruses, and H359L is identical to the subunit 3 (RPB3) of eukaryotic RNA polymerase II. The C315R and H359L may play an important role in ASFV replication and transcription. Here, we evaluated the biological function of the C315R and H359L genes during virus replication in vitro and during infection in pigs. Results showed that C315R and H359L are highly conserved among ASFV genotype II strains; quantitative PCR (qPCR) and western blotting analyses revealed that C315R and H359L are early transcribed genes prior to viral DNA replication, but their protein expression is delayed. The immunofluorescence and western blotting analysis revealed that both proteins localized in the cell cytoplasm and nucleus at 24\u2009h post infection, however, pH359L was mainly detected in the cell cytoplasm. Furthermore, overexpression of pH359L in MA104 cells significantly increased viral titer, RNA transcription levels, and viral protein expression levels, while overexpression of pC315R slightly enhanced ASFV replication. In contrast, siRNA targeting ASFV-H359L or C315R reduced replication efficiency in porcine macrophage culture compared to the parent ASFV-CN/SC/2019, demonstrating that C315R and H359L genes are necessary for ASFV replication. Finally, the functional role of C315R or H359L on PKR and eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation status and SG formation, as well as cytokine production were evaluated. These studies demonstrated that C315R and H359L are involved in virus replication processes in swine and play important roles in ASFV replication.\n\nID: 38927063\nTitle: Identification of Prospective Ebola Virus VP35 and VP40 Protein Inhibitors from Myxobacterial Natural Products.\nAbstract: The Ebola virus (EBOV) is a lethal pathogen causing hemorrhagic fever syndrome which remains a global health challenge. In the EBOV, two multifunctional proteins, VP35 and VP40, have significant roles in replication, virion assembly, and budding from the cell and have been identified as druggable targets. In this study, we employed in silico methods comprising molecular docking, molecular dynamic simulations, and pharmacological properties to identify prospective drugs for inhibiting VP35 and VP40 proteins from the myxobacterial bioactive natural product repertoire. Cystobactamid 934-2, Cystobactamid 919-1, and Cittilin A bound firmly to VP35. Meanwhile, 2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine, Enhypyrazinone B, and Sorangiadenosine showed strong binding to the matrix protein VP40. Molecular dynamic simulations revealed that, among these compounds, Cystobactamid 919-1 and 2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine had stable interactions with their respective targets. Similarly, molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MMPBSA) calculations indicated close-fitting receptor binding with VP35 or VP40. These two compounds also exhibited good pharmacological properties. In conclusion, we identified Cystobactamid 919-1 and 2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine as potential ligands for EBOV that target VP35 and VP40 proteins. These findings signify an essential step in vitro and in vivo to validate their potential for EBOV inhibition.\n\nID: 38545101\nTitle: Applications of emerging extracellular vesicles technologies in the treatment of inflammatory diseases.\nAbstract: The emerging extracellular vesicles technologies is an advanced therapeutic approach showing promising potential for addressing inflammatory diseases. These techniques have been proven to have positive effects on immune modulation and anti-inflammatory responses. With these advancements, a comprehensive review and update on the role of extracellular vesicles in inflammatory diseases have become timely. This review aims to summarize the research progress of extracellular vesicle technologies such as plant-derived extracellular vesicles, milk-derived extracellular vesicles, mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles, macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles, etc., in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. It elucidates their potential significance in regulating inflammation, promoting tissue repair, and treating diseases. The goal is to provide insights for future research in this field, fostering the application and development of extracellular vesicle technology in the treatment of inflammatory diseases.\n\nID: 38452957\nTitle: Exosomes derived from olive flounders infected with Streptococcus parauberis: Proteomic analysis, immunomodulation, and disease resistance capacity.\nAbstract: Multidrug-resistant Streptococcus parauberis causes high fish mortality in aquaculture, necessitating an urgent need for innovative control strategies. This study aimed to develop an immunizing agent against S. parauberis using exosomes isolated from the plasma of olive flounders infected experimentally with S. parauberis (Sp-Exo). Initially, we tested the in vitro immunomodulatory effect of Sp-Exo in murine macrophage RAW264.7\u00a0cells and compared it to that of exosomes isolated from na\u00efve fish (PBS-Exo-treated). Notably, Sp-Exo treatment significantly (p\u00a0<\u00a00.05) upregulated pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines (Il1\u03b2, Tnf\u03b1, and Il10), antimicrobial peptide, defensin isoforms (Def-rs2 and Def-ps1), and antiviral (Ifn\u03b21 and Isg15) genes. In vivo studies in larval and adult zebrafish revealed similar patterns of immunomodulation. Furthermore, larval and adult zebrafish exhibited significantly (p\u00a0<\u00a00.05) enhanced resistance to S. parauberis infection following treatment with Sp-Exo compared to that with PBS-Exo. Proteomic analysis using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) approach revealed the presence of 77 upregulated and 94 downregulated differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in Sp-Exo, with 22 and 37 significantly (p\u00a0<\u00a00.05) upregulated and downregulated DEPs, respectively. Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, and Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins analyses revealed that these genes are associated with key pathways, such as innate immune responses, complement system, acute phase responses, phospholipid efflux, and chylomicron remodeling. In conclusion, Sp-Exo demonstrated superior immunomodulatory activity and significant resistance against S. parauberis infection relative to that on treatment with PBS-Exo. Proteomic analysis further verified that most DEPs in Sp-Exo were associated with immune induction or modulation. These findings highlight the potential of Sp-Exo as a promising vaccine candidate against S. parauberis and other bacterial infections in olive flounder.\n\nID: 38155963\nTitle: Progress and challenges of plant-derived nucleic acids as therapeutics in macrophage-mediated RNA therapy.\nAbstract: Plant-derived nucleic acids, especially small RNAs have been proved by increasing evidence in the pharmacological activities and disease treatment values in macrophage meditated anti-tumor performance, immune regulating functions and antiviral activities. But the uptake, application and delivery strategies of RNAs as biodrugs are different from the small molecules and recombinant protein drugs. This article summarizes the reported evidence for cross-kingdom regulation by plant derived functional mRNAs and miRNAs. Based on that, their involvement and potentials in macrophage-mediated anti-tumor/inflammatory therapies are mainly discussed, as well as the load prospect of plant RNAs in viruses and natural exosome vehicles, and their delivery to mammalian cells through macrophage were also summarized. This review is to provide evidence and views for the plant derived RNAs as next generation of drugs with application potential in nucleic acid-based bio-therapy.\n\nID: 38055864\nTitle: Biomimetic Grapefruit-Derived Extracellular Vesicles for Safe and Targeted Delivery of Sodium Thiosulfate against Vascular Calcification.\nAbstract: As the prevalence of vascular calcification (VC), a strong contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, continues to increase, the need for pharmacologic therapies becomes urgent. Sodium thiosulfate (STS) is a clinically approved drug for therapy against VC; however, its efficacy is hampered by poor bioavailability and severe adverse effects. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles have provided options for VC treatment since they can be used as biomimetic drug carriers with higher biosafety and targeting abilities than artificial carriers. Inspired by natural grapefruit-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), we fabricated a biomimetic nanocarrier comprising EVs loaded with STS and further modified with hydroxyapatite crystal binding peptide (ESTP) for VC-targeted delivery of STS. In vitro, the ESTP nanodrug exhibited excellent cellular uptake capacity by calcified vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and subsequently inhibited VSMCs calcification. In the VC mice model, the ESTP nanodrug showed preferentially the highest accumulation in the calcified arteries compared to other treatment groups. Mechanistically, the ESTP nanodrug significantly prevented VC via driving M2 macrophage polarization, reducing inflammation, and suppressing bone-vascular axis as demonstrated by inhibiting osteogenic phenotype trans-differentiation of VSMCs while enhancing bone quality. In addition, the ESTP nanodrug did not induce hemolysis or cause any damage to other organs. These results suggest that the ESTP nanodrug can prove to be a promising agent against VC without the concern of systemic toxicity.\n\nID: 37896854\nTitle: Effect of Interferon Gamma on Ebola Virus Infection of Primary Kupffer Cells and a Kupffer Cell Line.\nAbstract: Ebola virus disease (EVD) represents a global health threat. The etiological agents of EVD are six species of Orthoebolaviruses, with Orthoebolavirus zairense (EBOV) having the greatest public health and medical significance. EVD pathogenesis occurs as a result of broad cellular tropism of the virus, robust viral replication and a potent and dysregulated production of cytokines. In vivo, tissue macrophages are some of the earliest cells infected and contribute significantly to virus load and cytokine production. While EBOV is known to infect macrophages and to generate high titer virus in the liver, EBOV infection of liver macrophages, Kupffer cells, has not previously been examined in tissue culture or experimentally manipulated in vivo. Here, we employed primary murine Kupffer cells (KC) and an immortalized murine Kupffer cell line (ImKC) to assess EBOV-eGFP replication in liver macrophages. KCs and ImKCs were highly permissive for EBOV infection and IFN-\u03b3 polarization of these cells suppressed their permissiveness to infection. The kinetics of IFN-\u03b3-elicited antiviral responses were examined using a biologically contained model of EBOV infection termed EBOV \u0394VP30. The antiviral activity of IFN-\u03b3 was transient, but a modest ~3-fold reduction of infection persisted for as long as 6 days post-treatment. To assess the interferon-stimulated gene products (ISGs) responsible for protection, the efficacy of secreted ISGs induced by IFN-\u03b3 was evaluated and secreted ISGs failed to block EBOV \u0394VP30. Our studies define new cellular tools for the study of EBOV infection that can potentially aid the development of new antiviral therapies. Furthermore, our data underscore the importance of macrophages in EVD pathogenesis and those IFN-\u03b3-elicited ISGs that help to control EBOV infection.\n\nID: 37376652\nTitle: CD40 Signaling in Mice Elicits a Broad Antiviral Response Early during Acute Infection with RNA Viruses.\nAbstract: Macrophages are critical in the pathogenesis of a diverse group of viral pathogens, both as targets of infection and for eliciting primary defense mechanisms. Our prior in vitro work identified that CD40 signaling in murine peritoneal macrophages protects against several RNA viruses by eliciting IL-12, which stimulates the production of interferon gamma (IFN-\u03b3). Here, we examine the role of CD40 signaling in vivo. We show that CD40 signaling is a critical, but currently poorly appreciated, component of the innate immune response using two distinct infectious agents: mouse-adapted influenza A virus (IAV, PR8) and recombinant VSV encoding the Ebola virus glycoprotein (rVSV-EBOV GP). We find that stimulation of CD40 signaling decreases early IAV titers, whereas loss of CD40 elevated early titers and compromised lung function by day 3 of infection. Protection conferred by CD40 signaling against IAV is dependent on IFN-\u03b3 production, consistent with our in vitro studies. Using rVSV-EBOV GP that serves as a low-biocontainment model of filovirus infection, we demonstrate that macrophages are a CD40-expressing population critical for protection within the peritoneum and T-cells are the key source of CD40L (CD154). These experiments reveal the in vivo mechanisms by which CD40 signaling in macrophages regulates the early host responses to RNA virus infection and highlight how CD40 agonists currently under investigation for clinical use may function as a novel class of broad antiviral treatments.\n\nID: 37279544\nTitle: Ebola Virus Disease Features Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis/Macrophage Activation Syndrome in the Rhesus Macaque Model.\nAbstract: Ebola virus (EBOV) disease (EVD) is one of the most severe and fatal viral hemorrhagic fevers and appears to mimic many clinical and laboratory manifestations of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis syndrome (HLS), also known as macrophage activation syndrome. However, a clear association is yet to be firmly established for effective host-targeted, immunomodulatory therapeutic approaches to improve outcomes in patients with severe EVD. Twenty-four rhesus monkeys were exposed intramuscularly to the EBOV Kikwit isolate and euthanized at prescheduled time points or when they reached the end-stage disease criteria. Three additional monkeys were mock-exposed and used as uninfected controls. EBOV-exposed monkeys presented with clinicopathologic features of HLS, including fever, multiple organomegaly, pancytopenia, hemophagocytosis, hyperfibrinogenemia with disseminated intravascular coagulation, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercytokinemia, increased concentrations of soluble CD163 and CD25 in serum, and the loss of activated natural killer cells. Our data suggest that EVD in the rhesus macaque model mimics pathophysiologic features of HLS/macrophage activation syndrome. Hence, regulating inflammation and immune function might provide an effective treatment for controlling the pathogenesis of acute EVD.\n\nID: 37170900\nTitle: Hepatic proinflammatory myeloid phenotypes are a hallmark of Ebola virus Kikwit pathogenesis in rhesus monkeys.\nAbstract: The liver is an early systemic target of Ebola virus (EBOV), but characterization beyond routine histopathology and viral antigen distribution is limited. We hypothesized Ebola virus disease (EVD) systemic proinflammatory responses would be reflected in temporally altered liver myeloid phenotypes. We utilized multiplex fluorescent immunohistochemistry (mfIHC), multispectral whole slide imaging, and image analysis to quantify molecular phenotypes of myeloid cells in the liver of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta; n = 21) infected with EBOV Kikwit. Liver samples included uninfected controls (n = 3), 3 days postinoculation (DPI; n = 3), 4 DPI (n = 3), 5 DPI (n = 3), 6 DPI (n = 3), and terminal disease (6-8 DPI; n = 6). Alterations in hepatic macrophages occurred at \u2265 5 DPI characterized by a 1.4-fold increase in CD68+ immunoreactivity and a transition from primarily CD14-CD16+ to CD14+CD16- macrophages, with a 2.1-fold decrease in CD163 expression in terminal animals compared with uninfected controls. An increase in the neutrophil chemoattractant and alarmin S100A9 occurred within hepatic myeloid cells at 5 DPI, followed by rapid neutrophil influx at \u2265 6 DPI. An acute rise in the antiviral myxovirus resistance protein 1 (MxA) occurred at \u2265 4 DPI, with a predilection for enhanced expression in uninfected cells. Distinctive expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II was observed in hepatocytes during terminal disease. Results illustrate that EBOV causes macrophage phenotype alterations as well as neutrophil influx and prominent activation of interferon host responses in the liver. Results offer insight into potential therapeutic strategies to prevent and/or modulate the host proinflammatory response to normalize hepatic myeloid functionality.\n\nID: 37047270\nTitle: Cheminformatics-Based Study Identifies Potential Ebola VP40 Inhibitors.\nAbstract: The Ebola virus (EBOV) is still highly infectious and causes severe hemorrhagic fevers in primates. However, there are no regulatorily approved drugs against the Ebola virus disease (EVD). The highly virulent and lethal nature of EVD highlights the need to develop therapeutic agents. Viral protein 40 kDa (VP40), the most abundantly expressed protein during infection, coordinates the assembly, budding, and release of viral particles into the host cell. It also regulates viral transcription and RNA replication. This study sought to identify small molecules that could potentially inhibit the VP40 protein by targeting the N-terminal domain using an in silico approach. The statistical quality of AutoDock Vina's capacity to discriminate between inhibitors and decoys was determined, and an area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic (AUC-ROC) curve of 0.791 was obtained. A total of 29,519 natural-product-derived compounds from Chinese and African sources as well as 2738 approved drugs were successfully screened against VP40. Using a threshold of -8 kcal/mol, a total of 7, 11, 163, and 30 compounds from the AfroDb, Northern African Natural Products Database (NANPDB), traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and approved drugs libraries, respectively, were obtained after molecular docking. A biological activity prediction of the lead compounds suggested their potential antiviral properties. In addition, random-forest- and support-vector-machine-based algorithms predicted the compounds to be anti-Ebola with IC50 values in the micromolar range (less than 25 \u03bcM). A total of 42 natural-product-derived compounds were identified as potential EBOV inhibitors with desirable ADMET profiles, comprising 1, 2, and 39 compounds from NANPDB (2-hydroxyseneganolide), AfroDb (ZINC000034518176 and ZINC000095485942), and TCM, respectively. A total of 23 approved drugs, including doramectin, glecaprevir, velpatasvir, ledipasvir, avermectin B1, nafarelin acetate, danoprevir, eltrombopag, lanatoside C, and glycyrrhizin, among others, were also predicted to have potential anti-EBOV activity and can be further explored so that they may be repurposed for EVD treatment. Molecular dynamics simulations coupled with molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area calculations corroborated the stability and good binding affinities of the complexes (-46.97 to -118.9 kJ/mol). The potential lead compounds may have the potential to be developed as anti-EBOV drugs after experimental testing.\n\nID: 36959259\nTitle: Ebola virus-like particles reprogram cellular metabolism.\nAbstract: Ebola virus can trigger a release of pro-inflammatory cytokines with subsequent vascular leakage and impairment of clotting finally leading to multiorgan failure and shock after entering and infecting patients. Ebola virus is known to directly target endothelial cells and macrophages, even without infecting them, through direct interactions with viral proteins. These interactions affect cellular mechanics and immune processes, which are tightly linked to other key cellular functions such as metabolism. However, research regarding metabolic activity of these cells upon viral exposure remains limited, hampering our understanding of its pathophysiology and progression. Therefore, in the present study, an untargeted cellular metabolomic approach was performed to investigate the metabolic alterations of primary human endothelial cells and M1 and M2 macrophages upon exposure to Ebola virus-like particles (VLP). The results show that Ebola VLP led to metabolic changes among endothelial, M1, and M2 cells. Differential metabolite abundance and perturbed signaling pathway analysis further identified specific metabolic features, mainly in fatty acid-, steroid-, and amino acid-related metabolism pathways for all the three cell types, in a host cell specific manner. Taken together, this work characterized for the first time the metabolic alternations of endothelial cells and two primary human macrophage subtypes after Ebola VLP exposure, and identified the potential metabolites and pathways differentially affected, highlighting the important role of those host cells in disease development and progression. KEY MESSAGES: \u2022 Ebola VLP can lead to metabolic alternations in endothelial cells and M1 and M2 macrophages. \u2022 Differential abundance of metabolites, mainly including fatty acids and sterol lipids, was observed after Ebola VLP exposure. \u2022 Multiple fatty acid-, steroid-, and amino acid-related metabolism pathways were observed perturbed.\n\nID: 36763514\nTitle: Chaperoning the driver of filovirus egress to a dead end.\nAbstract: Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV) are zoonotic, virulent pathogens that cause sporadic and global outbreaks of severe hemorrhagic fever. Reemergence of these filoviruses remains a global public health threat, highlighting the need for novel countermeasures to control and treat future disease outbreaks. The EBOV VP40 matrix protein drives virion assembly and egress. We recently reported that BAG3 and HSPA/HSP70, two central components of chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA), target VP40 for autophagic sequestration and degradation, thereby inhibiting virus egress and spread. In addition, we found that expression of the EBOV glycoprotein (GP) activates MTORC1, the gateway regulator of autophagy. Notably, pharmacological suppression of MTORC1 signaling by rapamycin activates autophagy and blocks filovirus egress. These findings highlight the MTORC1-CASA axis as a regulator of filovirus egress and suggest new opportunities for antiviral development and intervention.\n\nID: 36598950\nTitle: Chaperone-assisted selective autophagy targets filovirus VP40 as a client and restricts egress of virus particles.\nAbstract: The filovirus VP40 protein directs virion egress, which is regulated either positively or negatively by select VP40-host interactions. We demonstrate that host BAG3 and HSP70 recognize VP40 as a client and inhibit the egress of VP40 virus-like particles (VLPs) by promoting degradation of VP40 via Chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA). Pharmacological inhibition of either the early stage formation of the VP40/BAG3/HSP70 tripartite complex, or late stage formation of autolysosomes, rescued VP40 VLP egress back to WT levels. The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a master regulator of autophagy, and we found that surface expression of EBOV GP on either VLPs or an infectious VSV recombinant virus, activated mTORC1. Notably, pharmacological suppression of mTORC1 signaling by rapamycin activated CASA in a BAG3-dependent manner to restrict the egress of both VLPs and infectious EBOV in Huh7 cells. In sum, our findings highlight the involvement of the mTORC1/CASA axis in regulating filovirus egress.\n\nID: 36310868\nTitle: Macrophage infection, activation, and histopathological findings in ebolavirus infection.\nAbstract: Macrophages contribute to Ebola virus disease through their susceptibility to direct infection, their multi-faceted response to ebolaviruses, and their association with pathological findings in tissues throughout the body. Viral attachment and entry factors, as well as the more recently described influence of cell polarization, shape macrophage susceptibility to direct infection. Moreover, the study of Toll-like receptor 4 and the RIG-I-like receptor pathway in the macrophage response to ebolaviruses highlight important immune signaling pathways contributing to the breadth of macrophage responses. Lastly, the deep histopathological catalogue of macrophage involvement across numerous tissues during infection has been enriched by descriptions of tissues involved in sequelae following acute infection, including: the eye, joints, and the nervous system. Building upon this knowledge base, future opportunities include characterization of macrophage phenotypes beneficial or deleterious to survival, delineation of the specific roles macrophages play in pathological lesion development in affected tissues, and the creation of macrophage-specific therapeutics enhancing the beneficial activities and reducing the deleterious contributions of macrophages to the outcome of Ebola virus disease.\n\nID: 35138912\nTitle: Ebola virus persistence and disease recrudescence in the brains of antibody-treated nonhuman primate survivors.\nAbstract: Effective therapeutics have been developed against acute Ebola virus disease (EVD) in both humans and experimentally infected nonhuman primates. However, the risk of viral persistence and associated disease recrudescence in survivors receiving these therapeutics remains unclear. In contrast to rhesus macaques that survived Ebola virus (EBOV) exposure in the absence of treatment, we discovered that EBOV, despite being cleared from all other organs, persisted in the brain ventricular system of rhesus macaque survivors that had received monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatment. In mAb-treated macaque survivors, EBOV persisted in macrophages infiltrating the brain ventricular system, including the choroid plexuses. This macrophage infiltration was accompanied by severe tissue damage, including ventriculitis, choroid plexitis, and meningoencephalitis. Specifically, choroid plexus endothelium-derived EBOV infection led to viral persistence in the macaque brain ventricular system. This resulted in apoptosis of ependymal cells, which constitute the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier of the choroid plexuses. Fatal brain-confined recrudescence of EBOV infection manifested as severe inflammation, local pathology, and widespread infection of the ventricular system and adjacent neuropil in some of the mAb-treated macaque survivors. This study highlights organ-specific EBOV persistence and fatal recrudescent disease in rhesus macaque survivors after therapeutic treatment and has implications for the long-term follow-up of human survivors of EVD.\n\nID: 34923028\nTitle: CD47 expression attenuates Ebola virus-induced immunopathology in mice.\nAbstract: It has been shown that a very early cell-intrinsic response to infection is the upregulation of CD47\u00a0cell surface expression, a molecule known for delivering a \"don't eat me signal\" that inhibits macrophage-mediated phagocytosis and antigen presentation. Thus, blockade of CD47 signaling during lymphocytic choriomenigitis virus infections of mice has been shown to enhance the kinetics and potency of immune responses, thereby producing faster recovery. It seems counterintuitive that one of the earliest responses to infection would be immunoinhibitory, but it has been hypothesized that CD47 induction acts as an innate immune system checkpoint to prevent immune overactivation and immunopathogenic responses during certain infections. In the current study we examined the effect of CD47 blockade on lethal Ebola virus infection of mice. At 6 days post-infection, CD47 blockade was associated with significantly increased activation of B cells along with increases in recently cytolytic CD8+ T cells. However, the anti-CD47-treated mice exhibited increased weight loss, higher virus titers, and succumbed more rapidly. The anti-CD47-treated mice also had increased inflammatory cytokines in the plasma indicative of a \"cytokine storm\". Thus, in the context of this rapid hemorrhagic disease, CD47 blockade indeed exacerbated immunopathology and disease severity.\n\nID: 34834128\nTitle: Andrographolide: A Herbal-Chemosynthetic Approach for Enhancing Immunity, Combating Viral Infections, and Its Implication on Human Health.\nAbstract: Plants consistently synthesize and accumulate medically valuable secondary metabolites which can be isolated and clinically tested under in vitro conditions. An advancement with such important phytochemical production has been recognized and utilized as herbal drugs. Bioactive andrographolide (AGL; C20H30O5) isolated from Andrographis paniculate (AP) (Kalmegh) is a diterpenoid lactones having multifunctional medicinal properties including anti-manic, anti-inflammatory, liver, and lung protective. AGL is known for its immunostimulant activity against a variety of microbial infections thereby, regulating classical and alternative macrophage activation, Ag-specific antibody production during immune disorder therapy. In vitro studies with AGL found it to be effective against multiple tumors, neuronal disorders, diabetes, pneumonia, fibrosis, and other diverse therapeutic misadventures. Generally, virus-based diseases like ZIKA, influenza A virus subtype (H1NI), Ebola (EBOV), Dengue (DENV), and coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemics have greatly increased scientific interest and demands to develop more effective and economical immunomodulating drugs with minimal side effects. Trials and in vitro pharmacological studies with AGL and medicinally beneficial herbs might contribute to benefit the human population without using chemical-based synthetic drugs. In this review, we have discussed the possible role of AGL as a promising herbal-chemo remedy during human diseases, viral infections and as an immunity booster.\n\nID: 34011553\nTitle: Development and Evaluation of an Ebola Virus Glycoprotein Mucin-Like Domain Replacement System as a New Dendritic Cell-Targeting Vaccine Approach against HIV-1.\nAbstract: The development of efficient vaccine approaches against HIV infection remains challenging in the vaccine field. Here, we developed an Ebola virus envelope glycoprotein (EboGP)-based chimeric fusion protein system and demonstrated that replacement of the mucin-like domain (MLD) of EboGP with HIV C2-V3-C3 (134 amino acids [aa]) or C2-V3-C3-V4-C4-V5-C5 (243 aa) polypeptides (EbGP\u0394M-V3 and EbGP\u0394M-V3-V5, respectively) still maintained the efficiency of EboGP-mediated viral entry into human macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs). Animal studies using mice revealed that immunization with virus-like particles (VLPs) containing the above chimeric proteins, especially EbGP\u0394M-V3, induced significantly more potent anti-HIV antibodies than HIV gp120 alone in mouse serum and vaginal fluid. Moreover, the splenocytes isolated from mice immunized with VLPs containing EbGP\u0394M-V3 produced significantly higher levels of gamma interferon (IFN-\u03b3), interleukin 2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-5, and macrophage inflammatory protein 1\u03b1 (MIP-1\u03b1). Additionally, we demonstrated that coexpression of EbGP\u0394M-V3 and the HIV Env glycoprotein in a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV) vector elicited robust anti-HIV antibodies that may have specifically recognized epitopes outside or inside the C2-V3-C3 region of HIV-1 gp120 and cross-reacted with the gp120 from different HIV strains. Thus, this study has demonstrated the great potential of this DC-targeting vaccine platform as a new vaccine approach for improving immunogen delivery and increasing vaccine efficacy. IMPORTANCE Currently, there are more than 38.5 million reported cases of HIV globally. To date, there is no approved vaccine for HIV-1 infection. Thus, the development of an effective vaccine against HIV infection remains a global priority. This study revealed the efficacy of a novel dendritic cell (DC)-targeting vaccination approach against HIV-1. The results clearly show that the immunization of mice with virus-like particles (VLPs) and VSVs containing HIV Env and a fusion protein composed of a DC-targeting domain of Ebola virus GP with HIV C2-V3-C3 polypeptides (EbGP\u0394M-V3) could induce robust immune responses against HIV-1 Env and/or Gag in serum and vaginal mucosa. These findings provide a proof of concept of this novel and efficient DC-targeting vaccine approach in delivering various antigenic polypeptides of HIV-1 and/or other emergent infections to the host antigen-presenting cells to prevent HIV and other viral infections.\n\nID: 32663850\nTitle: Interferon-Induced Macrophage-Derived Exosomes Mediate Antiviral Activity Against Hepatitis B Virus Through miR-574-5p.\nAbstract: Interferon alfa (IFN-\u03b1) has been proved effective in treating chronic hepatitis B (CHB), owing to its ability to suppress hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B virus (HBV) covalently closed circular DNA. However, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. We investigated the antiviral activities of exosomes from responders and nonresponders to pegylated IFN-\u03b1 (PegIFN-\u03b1) as well as the supernatants of IFN-\u03b1-treated macrophages derived from THP-1 (the human leukemia monocyte cell line). Then the expression profiles of exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) were analyzed using miRNA sequencing. The luciferase reporter assay was used to locate the binding position of HBV genomic sequence targeted by the identified miRNA. Exosomes from PegIFN-\u03b1-treated patients, particularly responders, as well as the supernatants of IFN-\u03b1-treated macrophages exhibited anti-HBV activities, as manifested by the suppression of hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B e antigen, HBV DNA, and covalently closed circular DNA levels in HBV-related cell lines. PegIFN-\u03b1 treatment up-regulated exosomal hsa-miR-193a-5p, hsa-miR-25-5p, and hsa-miR-574-5p, which could partially inhibit HBV replication and transcription, and hsa-miR-574-5p reduced pregenomic RNA and polymerase messenger RNA levels by binding to the 2750-2757 position of the HBV genomic sequence. Exosomes can transfer IFN-\u03b1-related miRNAs from macrophages to HBV-infected hepatocytes, and they exhibit antiviral activities against HBV replication and expression.\n\nID: 32479821\nTitle: Filoviruses Infect Rhesus Macaque Synoviocytes in\u00a0Vivo and Primary Human\u00a0Synoviocytes in\u00a0Vitro.\nAbstract: The most commonly reported symptom of post-Ebola virus disease syndrome in survivors is arthralgia, yet involvement of the joints in acute or convalescent Ebola virus infection is not well characterized in human patients or animal models. Through immunohistochemistry, we found that the lining synovial intima of the stifle (knee) is a target for acute infection by Ebola virus/Kikwit, Ebola virus/Makona-C05, and Marburg virus/Angola in the rhesus macaque model. Furthermore, histologic analysis, immunohistochemistry, RNAscope in situ hybridization, and transmission electron microscopy showed that synoviocytes of the stifle, shoulder, and hip are a target for mouse-adapted Ebola virus/Yambuku-Mayinga infection during acute disease in rhesus macaques. A time course of infection study with Ebola virus/Kikwit found that the large joint synovium became immunopositive beginning on postinfection day 6. In total, the synovium of 28 of 30 rhesus macaques with terminal filovirus disease had evidence of infection (64 of 96 joints examined). On the basis of immunofluorescence, infected cell types included CD68+ type A (macrophage-like) synoviocytes and CD44+ type B (fibroblast-like) synoviocytes. Cultured primary human fibroblast-like synoviocytes were permissive to infection with Ebola and Marburg viruses in\u00a0vitro. Because synovial joints include immune privileged sites, these findings are significant for future investigations of filovirus pathogenesis and persistence as well as arthralgias in acute and convalescent filovirus disease.\n\nID: 32381509\nTitle: Angiomotin regulates budding and spread of Ebola virus.\nAbstract: The Ebola virus (EBOV) VP40 matrix protein (eVP40) orchestrates assembly and budding of virions in part by hijacking select WW-domain-bearing host proteins via its PPxY late (L)-domain motif. Angiomotin (Amot) is a multifunctional PPxY-containing adaptor protein that regulates angiogenesis, actin dynamics, and cell migration/motility. Amot also regulates the Hippo signaling pathway via interactions with the WW-domain-containing Hippo effector protein Yes-associated protein (YAP). In this report, we demonstrate that endogenous Amot is crucial for positively regulating egress of eVP40 virus-like particles (VLPs) and for egress and spread of authentic EBOV. Mechanistically, we show that ectopic YAP expression inhibits eVP40 VLP egress and that Amot co-expression rescues budding of eVP40 VLPs in a dose-dependent and PPxY-dependent manner. Moreover, results obtained with confocal and total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy suggested that Amot's role in actin organization and dynamics also contributes to promoting eVP40-mediated egress. In summary, these findings reveal a functional and competitive interplay between virus and host proteins involving the multifunctional PPxY-containing adaptor Amot, which regulates both the Hippo pathway and actin dynamics. We propose that our results have wide-ranging implications for understanding the biology and pathology of EBOV infections.\n\nID: 32325950\nTitle: Pathogenesis of Uveitis in Ebola Virus Disease Survivors: Evolving Understanding from Outbreaks to Animal Models.\nAbstract: Ebola virus disease (EVD) and emerging infectious disease threats continue to threaten life, prosperity and global health security. To properly counteract EVD, an improved understanding of the long-term impact of recent EVD outbreaks in West Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo are needed. In the wake of recent outbreaks, numerous health sequelae were identified in EVD survivors. These findings include joint pains, headaches, myalgias, and uveitis, a vision-threatening inflammatory condition of the eye. Retrospective and more recent prospective studies of EVD survivors from West Africa have demonstrated that uveitis may occur in 13-34% of patients with an increase in prevalence from baseline to 12-month follow-up. The clinical spectrum of disease ranges from mild, anterior uveitis to severe, sight-threatening panuveitis. Untreated inflammation may ultimately lead to secondary complications of cataract and posterior synechiae, with resultant vision impairment. The identification of Ebola virus persistence in immune privileged organs, such as the eye, with subsequent tissue inflammation and edema may lead to vision loss. Non-human primate models of EVD have demonstrated tissue localization to the eye including macrophage reservoirs within the vitreous matter. Moreover, in vitro models of Ebola virus have shown permissiveness in retinal pigment epithelial cells, potentially contributing to viral persistence. Broad perspectives from epidemiologic studies of the outbreak, animal modeling, and immunologic studies of EVD survivors have demonstrated the spectrum of the eye disease, tissue specificity of Ebola virus infection, and antigen-specific immunologic response. Further studies in these areas will elucidate the mechanisms of this highly prevalent disease with the potential for improved therapeutics for Ebola virus in immune-privileged sites.\n\nID: 32209467\nTitle: Acute Plasmodium Infection Promotes Interferon-Gamma-Dependent Resistance to Ebola Virus Infection.\nAbstract: During the 2013-2016 Ebola virus (EBOV) epidemic, a significant number of patients admitted to Ebola treatment units were co-infected with Plasmodium falciparum, a predominant agent of malaria. However, there is no consensus on how malaria impacts EBOV infection. The effect of acute Plasmodium infection on EBOV challenge was investigated using mouse-adapted EBOV and a biosafety level 2 (BSL-2) model virus. We demonstrate that acute Plasmodium infection protects from lethal viral challenge, dependent upon interferon gamma (IFN-\u03b3) elicited as a result of parasite infection. Plasmodium-infected mice lacking the IFN-\u03b3 receptor are not protected. Ex\u00a0vivo incubation of naive human or mouse macrophages with sera from acutely parasitemic rodents or macaques programs a proinflammatory phenotype dependent on IFN-\u03b3 and renders cells resistant to EBOV infection. We conclude that acute Plasmodium infection can safeguard against EBOV by the production of protective IFN-\u03b3. These findings have implications for anti-malaria therapies administered during episodic EBOV outbreaks in Africa.\n\nID: 31825972\nTitle: IL-4/IL-13 polarization of macrophages enhances Ebola virus glycoprotein-dependent infection.\nAbstract: Ebolavirus (EBOV) outbreaks, while sporadic, cause tremendous morbidity and mortality. No therapeutics or vaccines are currently licensed; however, a vaccine has shown promise in clinical trials. A critical step towards development of effective therapeutics is a better understanding of factors that govern host susceptibility to this pathogen. As macrophages are an important cell population targeted during virus replication, we explore the effect of cytokine polarization on macrophage infection. We utilized a BSL2 EBOV model virus, infectious, recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus encoding EBOV glycoprotein (GP) (rVSV/EBOV GP) in place of its native glycoprotein. Macrophages polarized towards a M2-like anti-inflammatory state by combined IL-4 and IL-13 treatment were more susceptible to rVSV/EBOV GP, but not to wild-type VSV (rVSV/G), suggesting that EBOV GP-dependent entry events were enhanced by these cytokines. Examination of RNA expression of known surface receptors that bind and internalize filoviruses demonstrated that IL-4/IL-13 stimulated expression of the C-type lectin receptor DC-SIGN in human macrophages and addition of the competitive inhibitor mannan abrogated IL-4/IL-13 enhanced infection. Two murine DC-SIGN-like family members, SIGNR3 and SIGNR5, were upregulated by IL-4/IL-13 in murine macrophages, but only SIGNR3 enhanced virus infection in a mannan-inhibited manner, suggesting that murine SIGNR3 plays a similar role to human DC-SIGN. In vivo IL-4/IL-13 administration significantly increased virus-mediated mortality in a mouse model and transfer of ex vivo IL-4/IL-13-treated murine peritoneal macrophages into the peritoneal cavity of mice enhanced pathogenesis. These studies highlight the ability of macrophage polarization to influence EBOV GP-dependent virus replication in vivo and ex vivo, with M2a polarization upregulating cell surface receptor expression and thereby enhancing virus replication. Our findings provide an increased understanding of the host factors in macrophages governing susceptibility to filoviruses and identify novel murine receptors mediating EBOV entry.\n\nID: 30463970\nTitle: Efficient Inhibition of Avian and Seasonal Influenza A Viruses by a Virus-Specific Dicer-Substrate Small Interfering RNA Swarm in Human Monocyte-Derived Macrophages and Dendritic Cells.\nAbstract: Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are viral pathogens that cause epidemics and occasional pandemics of significant mortality. The generation of efficacious vaccines and antiviral drugs remains a challenge due to the rapid appearance of new influenza virus types and antigenic variants. Consequently, novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of IAV infections are needed, given the limitations of the presently available antivirals. Here, we used enzymatically produced IAV-specific double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules and Giardia intestinalis Dicer for the generation of a swarm of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules. The siRNAs target multiple conserved genomic regions of the IAVs. In mammalian cells, the produced 25- to 27-nucleotide-long siRNA molecules are processed by endogenous Dicer into 21-nucleotide siRNAs and are thus designated Dicer-substrate siRNAs (DsiRNAs). We evaluated the efficacy of the above DsiRNA swarm at preventing IAV infections in human primary monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells. The replication of different IAV strains, including avian influenza H5N1 and H7N9 viruses, was significantly inhibited by pretransfection of the cells with the IAV-specific DsiRNA swarm. Up to 7 orders of magnitude inhibition of viral RNA expression was observed, which led to a dramatic inhibition of IAV protein synthesis and virus production. The IAV-specific DsiRNA swarm inhibited virus replication directly through the RNA interference pathway although a weak induction of innate interferon responses was detected. Our results provide direct evidence for the feasibility of the siRNA strategy and the potency of DsiRNA swarms in the prevention and treatment of influenza, including the highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses.IMPORTANCE In spite of the enormous amount of research, influenza virus is still one of the major challenges for medical virology due to its capacity to generate new variants, which potentially lead to severe epidemics and pandemics. We demonstrated here that a swarm of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules, including more than 100 different antiviral RNA molecules targeting the most conserved regions of the influenza A virus genome, could efficiently inhibit the replication of all tested avian and seasonal influenza A variants in human primary monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells. The wide antiviral spectrum makes the virus-specific siRNA swarm a potentially efficient treatment modality against both avian and seasonal influenza viruses.\n\nID: 26041303\nTitle: Thioredoxin 2 Is a Novel E2-Interacting Protein That Inhibits the Replication of Classical Swine Fever Virus.\nAbstract: The E2 protein of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is an envelope glycoprotein that is involved in virus attachment and entry. To date, the E2-interacting cellular proteins and their involvement in viral replication have been poorly documented. In this study, thioredoxin 2 (Trx2) was identified to be a novel E2-interacting partner using yeast two-hybrid screening from a porcine macrophage cDNA library. Trx2 is a mitochondrion-associated protein that participates in diverse cellular events. The Trx2-E2 interaction was further confirmed by glutathione S-transferase (GST) pulldown, in situ proximity ligation, and laser confocal assays. The thioredoxin domain of Trx2 and the asparagine at position 37 (N37) in the E2 protein were shown to be critical for the interaction. Silencing of the Trx2 expression in PK-15 cells by small interfering RNAs significantly promotes CSFV replication, and conversely, overexpression of Trx2 markedly inhibits viral replication of the wild-type (wt) CSFV and to a greater extent that of the CSFV N37D mutant, which is defective in binding Trx2. The wt CSFV but not the CSFV N37D mutant was shown to reduce the Trx2 protein expression in PK-15 cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated that Trx2 increases nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) promoter activity by promoting the nuclear translocation of the p65 subunit of NF-\u03baB. Notably, activation of the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway induced by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-\u03b1) significantly inhibits CSFV replication in PK-15 cells, whereas blocking the NF-\u03baB activation in Trx2-overexpressing cells no longer suppresses CSFV replication. Taken together, our findings reveal that Trx2 inhibits CSFV replication via the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. Thioredoxin 2 (Trx2) is a mitochondrion-associated protein that participates in diverse cellular events, such as antioxidative and antiapoptotic processes and the modulation of transcription factors. However, little is known about the involvement of Trx2 in viral replication. Here, we investigated, for the first time, the role of Trx2 in the replication of classical swine fever virus (CSFV), a devastating pestivirus of pigs. By knockdown and overexpression, we showed that Trx2 negatively regulates CSFV replication. Notably, we demonstrated that Trx2 inhibits CSFV replication by promoting the nuclear translocation of the p65 subunit of NF-\u03baB, a key regulator of the host's innate immunity and inflammatory response. Our findings reveal a novel role of Trx2 in the host's antiviral response and provide new insights into the complex mechanisms by which CSFV interacts with the host cell.\n\nID: 24140964\nTitle: Japanese encephalitis virus infection modulates the expression of suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) in macrophages: implications for the hosts' innate immune response.\nAbstract: Viruses have evolved various mechanisms to subvert the host's immune system and one of them is preventing the infected cells from sending out chemotactic signals to activate the adaptive immune response. Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a neuropathologic flavivirus that is responsible for significant number of child mortalities in various parts of South-East Asia. In this study we show that JEV modulates suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS)1 and 3 expression in macrophages to bring about changes in the JAK-STAT signaling cascade, so as to inhibit proinflammatory cyto/chemokine release. Using real time PCR, immunoblotting and immunofluorescent staining, we show that the expression of type 1 interferons and intracellular expression of viral genes are also affected over time. Also, following the initial activation of SOCS1 and 3, there is production of interferon-inducible anti-viral proteins in the cells which may be responsible for inhibiting viral replication. However, even at later time points, viral genes were still detected from the macrophages, albeit at lesser quantities, than earlier time points, indicative of intracellular persistence of the virus in a latent form. On knocking down SOCS1 and SOCS3 we found a significant decrease in viral gene expression at an early time point, indicating the dysregulation of the signaling cascade leading to increased production of interferon-inducible anti-viral proteins. Taken together, our study provides an insight into the role of JEV infection in modulating the JAK-STAT pathway with the help of SOCS leading to the generation of an antiviral innate immune response.\n\nID: 22837198\nTitle: Control of early Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus replication in macrophages by interleukin-6 occurs in conjunction with STAT1 activation and nitric oxide production.\nAbstract: During Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) infection of macrophages, it is thought that high interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels contribute to the demyelinating disease found in chronically infected SJL/J mice but absent in B10.S mice capable of clearing the infection. Therefore, IL-6 expression was measured in TMEV-susceptible SJL/J and TMEV-resistant B10.S macrophages during their infection with TMEV DA strain or responses to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or poly(I \u00b7 C). Unexpectedly, IL-6 production was greater in B10.S macrophages than SJL/J macrophages during the first 24 h after stimulation with TMEV, LPS, or poly(I \u00b7 C). Further experiments showed that in B10.S, SJL/J, and RAW264.7 macrophage cells, IL-6 expression was dependent on extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and enhanced by exogenous IL-12. In SJL/J and RAW264.7 macrophages, exogenous IL-6 resulted in decreased TMEV replication, earlier activation of STAT1 and STAT3, production of nitric oxide, and earlier upregulation of several antiviral genes downstream of STAT1. However, neither inhibition of IL-6-induced nitric oxide nor knockdown of STAT1 diminished the early antiviral effect of exogenous IL-6. In addition, neutralization of endogenous IL-6 from SJL/J macrophages with Fab antibodies did not exacerbate early TMEV infection. Therefore, endogenous IL-6 expression after TMEV infection is dependent on ERK MAPK, enhanced by IL-12, but too slow to decrease viral replication during early infection. In contrast, exogenous IL-6 enhances macrophage control of TMEV infection through preemptive antiviral nitric oxide production and antiviral STAT1 activation. These results indicate that immediate-early production of IL-6 could protect macrophages from TMEV infection.\n\nID: 22262807\nTitle: HIV-1 Nef mobilizes lipid rafts in macrophages through a pathway that competes with ABCA1-dependent cholesterol efflux.\nAbstract: HIV infection, through the actions of viral accessory protein Nef, impairs activity of cholesterol transporter ABCA1, inhibiting cholesterol efflux from macrophages and elevating the risk of atherosclerosis. Nef also induces lipid raft formation. In this study, we demonstrate that these activities are tightly linked and affect macrophage function and HIV replication. Nef stimulated lipid raft formation in macrophage cell line RAW 264.7, and lipid rafts were also mobilized in HIV-1-infected human monocyte-derived macrophages. Nef-mediated transfer of cholesterol to lipid rafts competed with the ABCA1-dependent pathway of cholesterol efflux, and pharmacological inhibition of ABCA1 functionality or suppression of ABCA1 expression by RNAi increased Nef-dependent delivery of cholesterol to lipid rafts. Nef reduced cell-surface accessibility of ABCA1 and induced ABCA1 catabolism via the lysosomal pathway. Despite increasing the abundance of lipid rafts, expression of Nef impaired phagocytic functions of macrophages. The infectivity of the virus produced in natural target cells of HIV-1 negatively correlated with the level of ABCA1. These findings demonstrate that Nef-dependent inhibition of ABCA1 is an essential component of the viral replication strategy and underscore the role of ABCA1 as an innate anti-HIV factor.\n\nID: 18451984\nTitle: Primate lentiviral Vpx commandeers DDB1 to counteract a macrophage restriction.\nAbstract: Primate lentiviruses encode four \"accessory proteins\" including Vif, Vpu, Nef, and Vpr/Vpx. Vif and Vpu counteract the antiviral effects of cellular restrictions to early and late steps in the viral replication cycle. We present evidence that the Vpx proteins of HIV-2/SIV(SM) promote virus infection by antagonizing an antiviral restriction in macrophages. Fusion of macrophages in which Vpx was essential for virus infection, with COS cells in which Vpx was dispensable for virus infection, generated heterokaryons that supported infection by wild-type SIV but not Vpx-deleted SIV. The restriction potently antagonized infection of macrophages by HIV-1, and expression of Vpx in macrophages in trans overcame the restriction to HIV-1 and SIV infection. Vpx was ubiquitylated and both ubiquitylation and the proteasome regulated the activity of Vpx. The ability of Vpx to counteract the restriction to HIV-1 and SIV infection was dependent upon the HIV-1 Vpr interacting protein, damaged DNA binding protein 1 (DDB1), and DDB1 partially substituted for Vpx when fused to Vpr. Our results indicate that macrophage harbor a potent antiviral restriction and that primate lentiviruses have evolved Vpx to counteract this restriction.\n\nID: 15926261\nTitle: An interfering RNA protocol for primary porcine alveolar macrophages.\nAbstract: RNA interference (RNAi) is a cellular process of post-transcriptional gene silencing in which a short interfering dsRNA (siRNA, 21-23 nt) targets a homologous mRNA for degradation by ribonuclease. RNAi has been used successfully to inhibit targeted gene expression and viral replication in mammalian cells. In this study we established an RNAi transfection protocol for primary porcine alveolar macrophages and evaluated potential off-target effects of siRNA introduction into these cells. Porcine alveolar macrophages were transfected using a fluorescence-labeled siRNA to compare transfection reagents from different suppliers. Under optimized transfection conditions, up to 95% of macrophages were fluorescent at 12 and 24 h post-transfection using an amine-based transfection reagent. An siRNA targeting GAPDH suppressed macrophage endogenous GAPDH transcript levels as much as 60% through 24h. Further, we did not detect a significant interferon response following siRNA transfection. These data suggest that RNAi will be an efficient and convenient approach for studying loss of gene function in primary porcine alveolar macrophages.\n\nID: 14673108\nTitle: Ebola virus-like particles protect from lethal Ebola virus infection.\nAbstract: The filovirus Ebola causes hemorrhagic fever with 70-80% human mortality. High case-fatality rates, as well as known aerosol infectivity, make Ebola virus a potential global health threat and possible biological warfare agent. Development of an effective vaccine for use in natural outbreaks, response to biological attack, and protection of laboratory workers is a higher national priority than ever before. Coexpression of the Ebola virus glycoprotein (GP) and matrix protein (VP40) in mammalian cells results in spontaneous production and release of virus-like particles (VLPs) that resemble the distinctively filamentous infectious virions. VLPs have been tested and found efficacious as vaccines for several viruses, including papillomavirus, HIV, parvovirus, and rotavirus. Herein, we report that Ebola VLPs (eVLPs) were immunogenic in vitro as eVLPs matured and activated mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells, assessed by increases in cell-surface markers CD40, CD80, CD86, and MHC class I and II and secretion of IL-6, IL-10, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha, and tumor necrosis factor alpha by the dendritic cells. Further, vaccinating mice with eVLPs activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, as well as CD19+ B cells. After vaccination with eVLPs, mice developed high titers of Ebola virus-specific antibodies, including neutralizing antibodies. Importantly, mice vaccinated with eVLPs were 100% protected from an otherwise lethal Ebola virus inoculation. Together, our data suggest that eVLPs represent a promising vaccine candidate for protection against Ebola virus infections and a much needed tool to examine the genesis and nature of immune responses to Ebola virus.\n=======================================================\n\n### [CUSTOM DATAPOINTS]\nCRITICAL EXTRACTION DIRECTIVE: You MUST extract the following custom datapoints as root-level key/value pairs inside your final JSON block:\n- \"suggested_experiments\": generate 1-3 suggested experiments\n- \"suggested_studies\": generate 1-3 suggested studies\n- \"swansons_literature_based_discovery_candidates\": You are an advanced Literature-Based Discovery (LBD) system executing Swanson\u2019s complementary-but-disjoint (A-B-C) model.

While surface engineering can enhance tissue accumulation, strategies that preserve biocompatibility and enable scalable production remain limited. Here, we introduce boiling as a simple thermal processing approach that structurally reconfigures ginger extracellular vesicles (GEVs) into functionally enhanced, thermally reassembled GEVs (T-GEVs). The surface architecture of T-GEVs is enriched with key vesicle trafficking regulators, including V-type proton adenosine triphosphatase subunit G, ARF1, and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein. This specific composition drives their tissue-specific accumulation in the intestine and liver and potentiates clathrin-dependent cellular uptake in intestinal cells by 8.57-fold. Beyond superior intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity through NLRP3 inflammasome suppression, T-GEVs function as an efficient oral delivery platform. When loaded with tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) small interfering RNA, they enable a synergistic therapy that combines innate anti-inflammatory activity with targeted gene silencing of TNF-\u03b1, showing potent efficacy in colitis.

We demonstrate that host BAG3 and HSP70 recognize VP40 as a client and inhibit the egress of VP40 virus-like particles (VLPs) by promoting degradation of VP40 via Chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA). Pharmacological inhibition of either the early stage formation of the VP40/BAG3/HSP70 tripartite complex, or late stage formation of autolysosomes, rescued VP40 VLP egress back to WT levels. The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a master regulator of autophagy, and we found that surface expression of EBOV GP on either VLPs or an infectious VSV recombinant virus, activated mTORC1. Notably, pharmacological suppression of mTORC1 signaling by rapamycin activated CASA in a BAG3-dependent manner to restrict the egress of both VLPs and infectious EBOV in Huh7 cells.

The generation of efficacious vaccines and antiviral drugs remains a challenge due to the rapid appearance of new influenza virus types and antigenic variants. Consequently, novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of IAV infections are needed, given the limitations of the presently available antivirals. Here, we used enzymatically produced IAV-specific double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules and Giardia intestinalis Dicer for the generation of a swarm of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules. The siRNAs target multiple conserved genomic regions of the IAVs. In mammalian cells, the produced 25- to 27-nucleotide-long siRNA molecules are processed by endogenous Dicer into 21-nucleotide siRNAs and are thus designated Dicer-substrate siRNAs (DsiRNAs). We evaluated the efficacy of the above DsiRNA swarm at preventing IAV infections in human primary monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells. The replication of different IAV strains, including avian influenza H5N1 and H7N9 viruses, was significantly inhibited by pretransfection of the cells with the IAV-specific DsiRNA swarm. Up to 7 orders of magnitude inhibition of viral RNA expression was observed, which led to a dramatic inhibition of IAV protein synthesis and virus production. The IAV-specific DsiRNA swarm inhibited virus replication directly through the RNA interference pathway although a weak induction of innate interferon responses was detected. Our results provide direct evidence for the feasibility of the siRNA strategy and the potency of DsiRNA swarms in the prevention and treatment of influenza, including the highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses.IMPORTANCE In spite of the enormous amount of research, influenza virus is still one of the major challenges for medical virology due to its capacity to generate new variants, which potentially lead to severe epidemics and pandemics. We demonstrated here that a swarm of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules, including more than 100 different antiviral RNA molecules targeting the most conserved regions of the influenza A virus genome, could efficiently inhibit the replication of all tested avian and seasonal influenza A variants in human primary monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells. The wide antiviral spectrum makes the virus-specific siRNA swarm a potentially efficient treatment modality against both avian and seasonal influenza viruses.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 30463970 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 36310868 for the quote: \"Macrophages contribute to Ebola virus disease through their susceptibility to direct infection, their multi-faceted response to ebolaviruses, and their association with pathological findings.\"\n FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Viral attachment and entry factors, as well as the more recently described influence of cell polarization, shape macrophage susceptibility to direct infection. Moreover, the study of Toll-like receptor 4 and the RIG-I-like receptor pathway in the macrophage response to ebolaviruses highlight important immune signaling pathways contributing to the breadth of macrophage responses. Lastly, the deep histopathological catalogue of macrophage involvement across numerous tissues during infection has been enriched by descriptions of tissues involved in sequelae following acute infection, including: the eye, joints, and the nervous system. Building upon this knowledge base, future opportunities include characterization of macrophage phenotypes beneficial or deleterious to survival, delineation of the specific roles macrophages play in pathological lesion development in affected tissues, and the creation of macrophage-specific therapeutics enhancing the beneficial activities and reducing the deleterious contributions of macrophages to the outcome of Ebola virus disease.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 36310868 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 41461033 for the quote: \"We identified the EBOV matrix protein VP40 as a potent activator of NF-\u03baB in non-MNPs... suggesting potential therapeutic strategies to mitigate immune dysregulation.\"\n FACT: Ellipses (...) are strictly forbidden.

While some inflammatory responses may originate from mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs), nonimmune cells vastly outnumber MNPs and may be an important source of inflammation. Here, we demonstrated that highly virulent EBOV induced a high and sustained pro-inflammatory response compared to less virulent ebolaviruses in non-MNPs through TLR4-independent NF-\u03baB activation. We identified the EBOV matrix protein VP40 as a potent activator of NF-\u03baB in non-MNPs, whose intrinsic inflammatory activation ability is higher than VP40 proteins from less virulent ebolaviruses. This suggests that VP40 is a virulence determinant inducing distinct degrees of pro-inflammatory responses among ebolaviruses. Mechanistically, VP40 activated the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway, primarily via TNFR1 using a ligand-independent mechanism. These findings reveal mechanisms that may drive systemic inflammation and promote EBOV pathogenesis, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies to mitigate immune dysregulation in severe EBOV infections.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 41461033 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 38155963 for the quote: \"This article summarizes the reported evidence for cross-kingdom regulation by plant derived functional mRNAs and miRNAs... as well as the load prospect of plant RNAs in viruses and natural exosome vehicles.\"\n FACT: Ellipses (...) are strictly forbidden.

From a pharmaceutics standpoint, their therapeutic performance is often cargo-governed (e.g., microRNAs and proteins) and is ultimately constrained by delivery determinants such as stability, biodistribution, cellular uptake, and intracellular trafficking. In this review, we compare animal-derived exosomes (ADEs) and PELNs through a formulation-centric lens, emphasizing how source-dependent molecular composition shapes critical delivery behaviors and translational feasibility. We reorganize representative preclinical evidence into pharmaceutics-relevant delivery scenarios-including systemic/vascular targeting, blood-brain barrier transport, oral gastrointestinal delivery, and tumor microenvironment modulation-to connect cargo identity with exposure-site interactions and pharmacodynamic outcomes. We further discuss engineering strategies for improving payload control, targeting precision, and dosing accuracy, including endogenous enrichment, exogenous loading, and surface functionalization, while highlighting scale-up and safety considerations introduced by modification. Finally, we delineate translational priorities required to advance exosome-based products toward clinical development: standardized dose metrics (particle- and cargo-normalized), quantitative PK/biodistribution-PD relationships, potency assays and critical quality attributes (CQAs), manufacturing consistency under GMP, and regulatory-compliant characterization. Collectively, this review reframes ADEs and PELNs as cargo-driven pharmaceutical delivery systems and provides a practical roadmap for translation, with particular attention to the oral and scalable potential of PELNs.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42005347 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 37047270 for the quote: \"A total of 42 natural-product-derived compounds were identified as potential EBOV inhibitors... comprising 1, 2, and 39 compounds from NANPDB...

However, there are no regulatorily approved drugs against the Ebola virus disease (EVD). The highly virulent and lethal nature of EVD highlights the need to develop therapeutic agents. Viral protein 40 kDa (VP40), the most abundantly expressed protein during infection, coordinates the assembly, budding, and release of viral particles into the host cell. It also regulates viral transcription and RNA replication. This study sought to identify small molecules that could potentially inhibit the VP40 protein by targeting the N-terminal domain using an in silico approach. The statistical quality of AutoDock Vina's capacity to discriminate between inhibitors and decoys was determined, and an area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic (AUC-ROC) curve of 0.791 was obtained. A total of 29,519 natural-product-derived compounds from Chinese and African sources as well as 2738 approved drugs were successfully screened against VP40. Using a threshold of -8 kcal/mol, a total of 7, 11, 163, and 30 compounds from the AfroDb, Northern African Natural Products Database (NANPDB), traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and approved drugs libraries, respectively, were obtained after molecular docking. A biological activity prediction of the lead compounds suggested their potential antiviral properties. In addition, random-forest- and support-vector-machine-based algorithms predicted the compounds to be anti-Ebola with IC50 values in the micromolar range (less than 25 \u03bcM). A total of 42 natural-product-derived compounds were identified as potential EBOV inhibitors with desirable ADMET profiles, comprising 1, 2, and 39 compounds from NANPDB (2-hydroxyseneganolide), AfroDb (ZINC000034518176 and ZINC000095485942), and TCM, respectively.

Molecular dynamics simulations coupled with molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area calculations corroborated the stability and good binding affinities of the complexes (-46.97 to -118.9 kJ/mol).

However, their translational development is limited by unresolved questions surrounding safety, biodistribution, product identity, and batch consistency. In this review, we synthesize current knowledge on the toxicology and biodistribution of plant-derived extracellular vesicle products, with emphasis on route-dependent exposure, barrier interactions, immune recognition, hemocompatibility, microbiome effects, and off-target organ accumulation. We argue that an edible plant origin should not be considered a surrogate for safety, particularly when products are administered at high doses, repeatedly, or through non-oral routes. We further identify quality control as a central determinant of both efficacy and safety, because plant source, growth conditions, harvest timing, isolation workflow, storage, and co-isolated contaminants can substantially alter vesicle composition and biological activity. To address these challenges, we propose a translational framework that integrates chemistry, manufacturing, and control principles with route-specific nonclinical toxicology testing and mechanism-linked potency assays. The framework highlights minimum expectations for identity, purity, potency, stability, and contaminant testing, including microbial burden, endotoxin-like activity, pesticide residues, and heavy metals. We also outline research priorities needed for regulatory-grade development, including harmonized nomenclature, reference materials, orthogonal characterization strategies, and mechanistic studies that distinguish vesicle-intrinsic effects from cargo- or impurity-driven toxicity.

However, a clear association is yet to be firmly established for effective host-targeted, immunomodulatory therapeutic approaches to improve outcomes in patients with severe EVD. Twenty-four rhesus monkeys were exposed intramuscularly to the EBOV Kikwit isolate and euthanized at prescheduled time points or when they reached the end-stage disease criteria. Three additional monkeys were mock-exposed and used as uninfected controls. EBOV-exposed monkeys presented with clinicopathologic features of HLS, including fever, multiple organomegaly, pancytopenia, hemophagocytosis, hyperfibrinogenemia with disseminated intravascular coagulation, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercytokinemia, increased concentrations of soluble CD163 and CD25 in serum, and the loss of activated natural killer cells. Our data suggest that EVD in the rhesus macaque model mimics pathophysiologic features of HLS/macrophage activation syndrome. Hence, regulating inflammation and immune function might provide an effective treatment for controlling the pathogenesis of acute EVD.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 37279544 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 34011553 for the quote: \"demonstrated that replacement of the mucin-like domain (MLD) of EboGP... still maintained the efficiency of EboGP-mediated viral entry into human macrophages and dendritic cells.\"\n FACT: Ellipses (...) are strictly forbidden.

Here, we developed an Ebola virus envelope glycoprotein (EboGP)-based chimeric fusion protein system and demonstrated that replacement of the mucin-like domain (MLD) of EboGP with HIV C2-V3-C3 (134 amino acids [aa]) or C2-V3-C3-V4-C4-V5-C5 (243 aa) polypeptides (EbGP\u0394M-V3 and EbGP\u0394M-V3-V5, respectively) still maintained the efficiency of EboGP-mediated viral entry into human macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs). Animal studies using mice revealed that immunization with virus-like particles (VLPs) containing the above chimeric proteins, especially EbGP\u0394M-V3, induced significantly more potent anti-HIV antibodies than HIV gp120 alone in mouse serum and vaginal fluid. Moreover, the splenocytes isolated from mice immunized with VLPs containing EbGP\u0394M-V3 produced significantly higher levels of gamma interferon (IFN-\u03b3), interleukin 2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-5, and macrophage inflammatory protein 1\u03b1 (MIP-1\u03b1). Additionally, we demonstrated that coexpression of EbGP\u0394M-V3 and the HIV Env glycoprotein in a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV) vector elicited robust anti-HIV antibodies that may have specifically recognized epitopes outside or inside the C2-V3-C3 region of HIV-1 gp120 and cross-reacted with the gp120 from different HIV strains. Thus, this study has demonstrated the great potential of this DC-targeting vaccine platform as a new vaccine approach for improving immunogen delivery and increasing vaccine efficacy. IMPORTANCE Currently, there are more than 38.5 million reported cases of HIV globally. To date, there is no approved vaccine for HIV-1 infection. Thus, the development of an effective vaccine against HIV infection remains a global priority. This study revealed the efficacy of a novel dendritic cell (DC)-targeting vaccination approach against HIV-1. The results clearly show that the immunization of mice with virus-like particles (VLPs) and VSVs containing HIV Env and a fusion protein composed of a DC-targeting domain of Ebola virus GP with HIV C2-V3-C3 polypeptides (EbGP\u0394M-V3) could induce robust immune responses against HIV-1 Env and/or Gag in serum and vaginal mucosa. These findings provide a proof of concept of this novel and efficient DC-targeting vaccine approach in delivering various antigenic polypeptides of HIV-1 and/or other emergent infections to the host antigen-presenting cells to prevent HIV and other viral infections.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 34011553 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"EVs have gained considerable attention as therapeutic platforms due to their biocompatibility, stability, and ability to deliver functional cargo to recipient cells.\" (Source: 42511886)\n- \"VP40, have significant roles in replication, virion assembly, and budding from the cell and have been identified as druggable targets.\" (Source: 38927063)\n- \"Structurally, PELNs feature a phospholipid bilayer homologous to plant cell membranes, encapsulating bioactive components such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and secondary metabolites.\" (Source: 42357366)\n- \"PEVs possess high biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, broad source availability, and scalability.\" (Source: 42226964)\n- \"AELNs stably form complexes with ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) comprised of Cas9 proteins and guide RNAs (gRNAs).\" (Source: 41909467)\n- \"Ebola virus matrix protein VP40 mRNAs were modified with or without miR-122 binding sites and injected in mice intramuscularly.\" (Source: 39867482)\n- \"In mAb-treated macaque survivors, EBOV persisted in macrophages infiltrating the brain ventricular system, including the choroid plexuses.\" (Source: 35138912)\n- \"Genetic ablation of ASS1 reduces intracellular fumarate levels and interferon-\u03b2 production, and mitochondrial respiration is also suppressed.\" (Source: 40251448)\n\n\nINSTRUCTION: Study the actual abstracts provided.

This study aimed to develop an immunizing agent against S. parauberis using exosomes isolated from the plasma of olive flounders infected experimentally with S. parauberis (Sp-Exo). Initially, we tested the in vitro immunomodulatory effect of Sp-Exo in murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells and compared it to that of exosomes isolated from na\u00efve fish (PBS-Exo-treated). Notably, Sp-Exo treatment significantly (p < 0.05) upregulated pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines (Il1\u03b2, Tnf\u03b1, and Il10), antimicrobial peptide, defensin isoforms (Def-rs2 and Def-ps1), and antiviral (Ifn\u03b21 and Isg15) genes. In vivo studies in larval and adult zebrafish revealed similar patterns of immunomodulation. Furthermore, larval and adult zebrafish exhibited significantly (p < 0.05) enhanced resistance to S. parauberis infection following treatment with Sp-Exo compared to that with PBS-Exo. Proteomic analysis using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) approach revealed the presence of 77 upregulated and 94 downregulated differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in Sp-Exo, with 22 and 37 significantly (p < 0.05) upregulated and downregulated DEPs, respectively. Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, and Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins analyses revealed that these genes are associated with key pathways, such as innate immune responses, complement system, acute phase responses, phospholipid efflux, and chylomicron remodeling. In conclusion, Sp-Exo demonstrated superior immunomodulatory activity and significant resistance against S. parauberis infection relative to that on treatment with PBS-Exo. Proteomic analysis further verified that most DEPs in Sp-Exo were associated with immune induction or modulation. These findings highlight the potential of Sp-Exo as a promising vaccine candidate against S. parauberis and other bacterial infections in olive flounder.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 38452957 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"EVs have gained considerable attention as therapeutic platforms due to their biocompatibility, stability, and ability to deliver functional cargo to recipient cells.\" (Source: 42511886)\n- \"VP40, have significant roles in replication, virion assembly, and budding from the cell and have been identified as druggable targets.\" (Source: 38927063)\n- \"Structurally, PELNs feature a phospholipid bilayer homologous to plant cell membranes, encapsulating bioactive components such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and secondary metabolites.\" (Source: 42357366)\n- \"PEVs possess high biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, broad source availability, and scalability.\" (Source: 42226964)\n- \"AELNs stably form complexes with ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) comprised of Cas9 proteins and guide RNAs (gRNAs).\" (Source: 41909467)\n- \"Ebola virus matrix protein VP40 mRNAs were modified with or without miR-122 binding sites and injected in mice intramuscularly.\" (Source: 39867482)\n- \"In mAb-treated macaque survivors, EBOV persisted in macrophages infiltrating the brain ventricular system, including the choroid plexuses.\" (Source: 35138912)\n- \"Genetic ablation of ASS1 reduces intracellular fumarate levels and interferon-\u03b2 production, and mitochondrial respiration is also suppressed.\" (Source: 40251448)\n- \"Using rVSV-EBOV GP that serves as a low-biocontainment model of filovirus infection, we demonstrate that macrophages are a CD40-expressing population critical for protection within the peritoneum and T-cells are the key source of CD40L (CD154).\" (Source: 37376652)\n- \"In sum, our findings highlight the involvement of the mTORC1/CASA axis in regulating filovirus egress.\" (Source: 36598950)\n- \"Building upon this knowledge base, future opportunities include characterization of macrophage phenotypes beneficial or deleterious to survival, delineation of the specific roles macrophages play in pathological lesion development in affected tissues, and the creation of macrophage-specific therapeutics enhancing the beneficial activities and reducing the deleterious contributions of macrophages to the outcome of Ebola virus disease.\" (Source: 36310868)\n- \"The development of efficient vaccine approaches against HIV infection remains challenging in the vaccine field.\" (Source: 34011553)\n- \"The identification of Ebola virus persistence in immune privileged organs, such as the eye, with subsequent tissue inflammation and edema may lead to vision loss.\" (Source: 32325950)\n- \"Macrophages polarized towards a M2-like anti-inflammatory state by combined IL-4 and IL-13 treatment were more susceptible to rVSV/EBOV GP, but not to wild-type VSV (rVSV/G), suggesting that EBOV GP-dependent entry events were enhanced by these cytokines.\" (Source: 31825972)\n- \"The replication of different IAV strains, including avian influenza H5N1 and H7N9 viruses, was significantly inhibited by pretransfection of the cells with the IAV-specific DsiRNA swarm.\" (Source: 30463970)\n- \"Exosomes can transfer IFN-\u03b1-related miRNAs from macrophages to HBV-infected hepatocytes, and they exhibit antiviral activities against HBV replication and expression.\" (Source: 32663850)\n- \"These findings demonstrate that Nef-dependent inhibition of ABCA1 is an essential component of the viral replication strategy and underscore the role of ABCA1 as an innate anti-HIV factor.\" (Source: 22262807)\n- \"Cystobactamid 934-2, Cystobactamid 919-1, and Cittilin A bound firmly to VP35.\" (Source: 38927063)\n- \"PO-EVs were separated and characterized as nanoscale vesicles and were shown to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pro-angiogenic activities relevant to hair follicle maintenance.\" (Source: 41922097)\n\n\nINSTRUCTION: Study the actual abstracts provided.

The synthesis explores whether established PDEV delivery technologies can be repurposed to mitigate Ebola-induced hyperinflammation and viral persistence.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nEbola virus disease pathogenesis is characterized by severe inflammation driven by the infection of mononuclear phagocytes. VP40, the matrix protein of Ebola, is essential for virion assembly and budding, and has been identified as a critical druggable target. Strategies involving chaperone-assisted selective autophagy or direct siRNA-mediated silencing have been explored to manage filovirus egress. Given that PDEVs are inherently biocompatible and capable of cross-kingdom delivery, they represent a high-potential vector for nucleic acid therapies. Recent successes in siRNA delivery using other vesicle systems\u2014such as DsiRNA swarms or specific viral glycoprotein-tagged nanocarriers\u2014support the viability of an siRNA-PDEV paradigm. However, the proposed approach requires overcoming barriers of specific macrophage-targeting efficacy and precise viral cargo loading, which are currently being addressed via surface modification and co-delivery systems in related inflammatory models.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* Plant-derived extracellular vesicles can be engineered to target specific macrophage phenotypes, potentially reducing the deleterious systemic inflammatory response.\n* VP40 is a \"client\" for chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA), providing a potential dual-action mechanism for therapeutic intervention.\n* Metabolic remodeling in macrophages, specifically through the AAS shunt and fumarate production, serves as an intrinsic antiviral defense that might be potentiated by PDEV-delivered cargo.\n* The use of GLP2 peptides and other targeting ligands shows it is possible to enhance PDEV/nanovesicle tropism to specific neuronal or immune cell populations.\n* Infection-induced persistent reservoirs in the brain ventricular system (choroid plexuses) indicate that future PDEV therapeutics must achieve blood-brain barrier penetration.\n* Small RNAs from plants can mediate cross-kingdom regulation, suggesting that endogenous plant vesicle cargoes might synergize with loaded synthetic therapeutic siRNAs.\n* mRNA therapy targeting EBOV GP and VP40 has successfully elicited humoral responses in animal models, establishing a precedent for nucleic-acid-based prophylaxis.\n* The mTORC1/CASA axis acts as a regulator for filovirus egress, providing a metabolic gate that can be modulated to restrict viral spread.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

While vaccines represent an obvious approach, targeting virus interactions with host proteins that critically regulate the virus lifecycle also represent important therapeutic strategies. Among Ebola virus proteins at this critical interface is its matrix protein, VP40, which is abundantly expressed during infection and plays a number of critical roles in the viral lifecycle. In addition to regulating viral transcription, VP40 coordinates virion assembly and budding from infected cells. Details of the molecular mechanisms underpinning these essential functions are currently being elucidated, with a particular emphasis on its interactions with host proteins that control virion assembly and egress. This review focuses on the strategies geared toward developing novel therapeutic agents that target VP40-specific control of host functions critical to virion transcription, assembly and egress."

These viruses can be very deadly with outbreaks of EBOV having clinical fatality as high as 90%. In 2012 there were two separate Ebola outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda that resulted in 25 and 4 fatalities, respectively. The lack of preventive vaccines and FDA-approved therapeutics has struck fear that the EBOV could become a pandemic threat. The Ebola genome encodes only seven genes, which mediate the entry, replication, and egress of the virus from the host cell. The EBOV matrix protein is VP40, which is found localized under the lipid envelope of the virus where it bridges the viral lipid envelope and nucleocapsid. VP40 is effectively a peripheral protein that mediates the plasma membrane binding and budding of the virus prior to egress. A number of studies have demonstrated specific deletions or mutations of VP40 to abrogate viral egress but to date pharmacological inhibition of VP40 has not been demonstrated. This editorial highlights VP40, which is the most abundantly expressed protein of the virus and discusses VP40 as a potential therapeutic target."

To determine whether Ebolavirus (EBOV) counters RNAi by encoding suppressors of RNA silencing (SRSs), we screened all EBOV proteins using an RNAi assay initiated by exogenously delivered small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) against either an EBOV or a reporter gene. In addition to viral protein 35 (VP35), we found that VP30 and VP40 independently act as SRSs. Here, we present the molecular mechanisms of VP30 and VP35. VP30 interacts with Dicer independently of siRNA and with one Dicer partner, TRBP, only in the presence of siRNA. VP35 directly interacts with Dicer partners TRBP and PACT in an siRNA-independent fashion and in the absence of effects on interferon (IFN). Taken together, our findings elucidate a new mechanism of RNAi suppression that extends beyond the role of SRSs in double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) binding and IFN antagonism. The presence of three suppressors highlights the relevance of host RNAi-dependent antiviral immunity in EBOV infection and illustrates the importance of RNAi in shaping the evolution of RNA viruses."

However, delivering siRNA with site-targeted stability and therapeutic efficacy is still challenging due to the complex and dynamic intestinal microenvironment. Here, based on the functional plant-derived ginger extracellular vesicles (EVs) and porous ZIF-8 nanoparticles, we propose a novel TNF-\u03b1 siRNA delivery strategy (EVs@ZIF-8@siRNA) for UC targeted therapy. Ginger EVs show strong colon and macrophage targeting, as well as robust resistance to acidic degradation in the stomach. Moreover, 6-shogaol in ginger-derived EVs displays anti-inflammatory effects, which enhance the treatment efficiency by cooperation with TNF-\u03b1 siRNA. In vitro experiments reveal that ZIF-8 nanoparticles have high TNF-\u03b1 siRNA loading capacity and promote siRNA escape from cellular lysosomes. In vivo experiments show that the TNF-\u03b1 level is reduced more significantly in colonic tissue than other nontargeted inflammation related factors, showing a good targeting of this composite nanoparticle. Furthermore, gut microbiota sequencing results demonstrate that the nanoparticles can promote intestinal barrier repair by regulating the intestinal microbial balance and restoring the intestinal health of UC mice. Therefore, the developed EVs@ZIF-8@siRNA nanoparticles may represent a novel colon-targeted oral drug, providing a promising therapeutic strategy for UC therapy."

Here, a hierarchically engineered oral nanotherapeutic is developed based on Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG-derived bacterial nanovesicles (BNVs) for inflammatory macrophage-targeted gene silencing in colitis. The vesicles are genetically engineered to display an anti-mCD80 nanobody, loaded with siIl17ra, and further encapsulated within calcium alginate microcapsules to improve gastrointestinal protection and enable gastrointestinal protection and intestinal-fluid-associated release in the lower gut. The resulting system preserves nanoscale vesicular morphology, exhibits favorable cytocompatibility, and shows enhanced uptake by inflammatory macrophages after nanobody decoration. Following internalization, siIl17ra/CD80-BNVs effectively suppress Il17ra expression and reprogram macrophages toward a pro-repair phenotype. Microcapsule incorporation further improves siRNA retention, restrains premature release under acidic conditions, and promotes sustained release under intestinally relevant pH conditions. After oral administration, MC-siIl17ra/CD80-BNVs display enhanced colorectal retention and markedly alleviate dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis, as evidenced by reduced disease activity, attenuated histopathological injury, enhanced epithelial regeneration, decreased inflammatory mediator expression, and reduced NF-\u03baB/caspase-associated marker changes.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising alternative due to their immunomodulatory properties; however, whole-cell therapies have certain limitations. MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), including small vesicles-exosomes-have emerged as a safe cell-free therapeutic platform capable of crossing biological barriers and delivering bioactive cargo with low immunogenicity. Various types of RNAs abundantly produced by host MSCs represent a key element of EV content. In particular, EVs carry small RNAs, which essentially determine cellular life and fate. Our review provides a comprehensive mechanistic framework for the use of RNA-loaded EVs, specifically those carrying microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs), in restoring immune homeostasis. We detail the biogenesis and molecular mechanisms governing sorting of RNA into EVs, along with endogenous and exogenous engineering strategies to enhance therapeutic potency. We examine how RNA-loaded EVs modulate immunological processes like reprogramming of macrophage M1-M2 polarization, Th17/Treg balance, and suppression of inflammatory signaling pathways such as NF-\u03baB and the NLRP3 inflammasome.

Viral outbreaks and resulting pandemics have repeatedly threatened public health and questioned human preparedness at the forefront of drug design and biomedical readiness. During the recent pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2, mRNA-based vaccination strategies have paved the way for a new era of RNA therapeutics. RNA Interference (RNAi) based approach using small interfering RNA may complement clinical management of the COVID-19. RNA Interference approach will primarily work by restricting the synthesis of the proteins required for viral replication, thereby hampering viral cellular entry and trafficking by targeting host as well as protein factors. Despite promising benefits, the stability of small interfering RNA in the physiological environment is of grave concern as well as site-directed targeted delivery and evasion of the immune system require immediate attention. In this regard, nanotechnology offers viable solutions for these challenges.

The CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis plays a critical role in promoting tumor cell proliferation, migration, and metastasis in PDAC. Targeted delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) against CX3CR1 through M1 phenotype macrophage extracellular vesicles is a potential strategy to achieve accurate PDAC treatment. This study sought to investigate the therapeutic potential of siRNA specifically targeting CX3CR1 in PDAC via loading into extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from M1 macrophages, evaluating its therapeutic efficacy through in vitro and in vivo experiments. The results demonstrated that siCX3CR1 was successfully incorporated into extracellular vesicles originating from M1 macrophages. M1 EV/siCX3CR1 significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of AsPC-1 cells in vitro.

Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) is highly expressed in lesional macrophages within advanced atherosclerotic plaques, where it promotes the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, current approaches lack an effective therapeutic strategy to specifically silence this gene in lesional macrophages for atherosclerosis treatment. This study aims to develop and evaluate a dual-targeted, siRNA-based nanotherapeutic platform that selectively acts on atherosclerosis-promoting genes in plaque macrophages, offering a potential strategy for treating atherosclerosis by reprogramming lesional macrophages.

This study aimed to develop an enzyme-responsive, fibrosis-targeted nanotherapeutic system capable of simultaneously delivering siRNA against progranulin (siPGRN) and quercetin (QT) to remodel the fibrotic microenvironment and effectively attenuate renal fibrosis. The TIMP-HDL-Nano@siPGRN&QT nanoparticles prepared in this study exhibit uniform nanoscale size (~\u2009100\u00a0nm), high encapsulation efficiency, excellent stability, and favorable biocompatibility. The MMP9-responsive modification significantly enhanced renal accumulation and fibrotic lesion targeting in vivo. Treatment with TIMP-HDL-Nano@siPGRN&QT markedly alleviated UUO-induced renal injury, apoptosis, and fibrosis, outperforming free drug.

The most recent outbreak of EBOV in West Africa starting in 2014 resulted in over 11,300 deaths; however, long-lasting persistence and recurrence in survivors has been documented, potentially leading to further transmission of the virus. We have previously shown that exosomes from cells infected with HIV-1, HTLV-1 and Rift Valley Fever virus are able to transfer viral proteins and non-coding RNAs to na\u00efve recipient cells, resulting in an altered cellular activity. In the current manuscript, we examined the effect of Ebola structural proteins VP40, GP, NP and VLPs on recipient immune cells, as well as the effect of exosomes containing these proteins on na\u00efve immune cells. We found that VP40-transfected cells packaged VP40 into exosomes, and that these exosomes were capable of inducing apoptosis in recipient immune cells. Additionally, we show that presence of VP40 within parental cells or in exosomes delivered to na\u00efve cells could result in the regulation of RNAi machinery including Dicer, Drosha, and Ago 1, which may play a role in the induction of cell death in recipient immune cells. Exosome biogenesis was regulated by VP40 in transfected cells by increasing levels of ESCRT-II proteins EAP20 and EAP45, and exosomal marker proteins CD63 and Alix. VP40 was phosphorylated by Cdk2/Cyclin complexes at Serine 233 which could be reversed with r-Roscovitine treatment. The level of VP40-containing exosomes could also be regulated by treated cells with FDA-approved Oxytetracycline. Additionally, we utilized novel nanoparticles to safely capture VP40 and other viral proteins from Ebola VLPs spiked into human samples using SDS/reducing agents, thus minimizing the need for BSL-4 conditions for most downstream assays. Collectively, our data indicates that VP40 packaged into exosomes may be responsible for the deregulation and eventual destruction of the T-cell and myeloid arms of the immune system (bystander lymphocyte apoptosis), allowing the virus to replicate to high titers in the immunocompromised host. Moreover, our results suggest that the use of drugs such as Oxytetracycline to modulate the levels of exosomes exiting EBOV-infected cells may be able to prevent the devastation of the adaptive immune system and allow for an improved rate of survival."

While small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated HSP70 suppression offers a promising solution, optimal timing for this therapeutic combination remains unexplored. Here, it is demonstrated that precisely timed administration significantly enhances MPTT efficacy through systematic temporal characterization of HSP70 expression dynamics. A three-component temperature-sensitive hybrid nanocarrier (I-sR@MLNP) is developed that integrates: 1) indocyanine green dimer (ICG-II) with exceptional photothermal conversion efficiency (PTCE, 95.4%); 2) macrophage membrane-derived lipid nanoparticles for active TNBC targeting through integrin \u03b14/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) axis; and 3) HSP70-targeting siRNA to overcome thermo-resistance. This multifunctional platform enables spatiotemporally controlled co-delivery and photo-triggered release of both therapeutic agents. Through comprehensive profiling of post-release HSP70 mRNA and protein kinetics, a critical therapeutic window is identified at 36\u00a0h post-initial treatment when siRNA-mediated suppression maximally sensitized cancer cells to subsequent thermal stress. In mouse TNBC models, this temporally optimized two-phase MPTT approach achieves superior tumor reduction compared to conventional single-treatment (+87%) or non-optimized protocols (+43%).

Activated macrophages produce large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pro-inflammatory cytokines, which damage chondrocytes and destroy the cartilage matrix. Therefore, a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of RA is to inhibit the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and ROS to promote macrophage polarization and facilitate cartilage repair. In this paper, an active targeting nanomedicine based on metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) is constructed to re-polarize activated macrophages for RA therapy. Sr2+ and Cu2+ are first coordinated with tannic acid (TA) to prepare TSC, and TNF-\u03b1 siRNA is loaded into TSC via simple ultrasonic treatment to obtain TSSC. Finally, TSSC is coated with M1 macrophage membrane (termed as TSSC@M1) to enhance its inflammatory targeting ability. TSSC@M1 can actively target macrophages by releasing TA, Cu2+, and TNF-\u03b1 siRNA to synergistically scavenge ROS and inhibit the expression of TNF-\u03b1 to induce macrophage polarization, while Sr2+ can further protect cartilage. In the collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse model, TSSC@M1 can accumulate at inflamed joints and alleviate RA symptoms by modulating macrophage phenotype and repairing cartilage. Overall, TSSC@M1 NPs offer a promising and safe approach to treat RA."

Although dexamethasone (DEX) is commonly employed to rapidly control disease activity, its therapeutic effectiveness is often undermined by the development of glucocorticoid resistance (GCR) and cumulative systemic toxicities. Recent insights suggest that TNF-\u03b1-driven inflammation not only perpetuates joint pathology but also sustains a molecular landscape that favors GCR, underscoring an urgent need for therapeutic strategies that jointly target inflammatory signaling and steroid sensitivity. Here, we report a nanomedicine-enabled sequential therapy, in which TNF-\u03b1 specific siRNA (siTNF\u03b1) and DEX are separately encapsulated within macrophage-targeted polymersomes (MTP-T and MTP-D, respectively). Through intravenous administration of MTP-T, followed by the intraperitoneal delivery of MTP-D (designated as MTP-T/D(seq)), this sequential therapy acheives efficient knockdown of TNF-\u03b1 in inflammatory macrophages, leading to enhanced expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR), an elevated GR\u03b1/GR\u03b2 ratio, and a substantial reversal of GCR.

MLAV VP40 impaired IFN\u03b2 promoter activation by an over-expressed, constitutively active form of RIG-I and by the over-expressed IRF3 kinases TBK1 and IKK\u03b5. However, MLAV VP40 did not inhibit IFN\u03b2 promoter activation by constitutively active IRF3 5D. Consistent with these findings, MLAV VP40 inhibited SeV-induced IRF3 phosphorylation. Although IRF3 phosphorylation occurs in the cytoplasm, MLAV VP40 exhibits substantial nuclear localization, accumulating in foci in HeLa cell nuclei. In contrast, the VP40 of EBOV and MARV exhibited lower degrees of nuclear localization and did not accumulate in foci. MLAV VP40 interacts with importin alpha-1 (IMP\u03b11), suggesting entry via the IMP\u03b1/IMP\u03b2 nuclear import pathway. Cumulatively, these data identify novel features that distinguish MLAV VP40 from its homologues in EBOV and MARV."

"abstract_text": "ID: 20084112\nTitle: Marburg virus evades interferon responses by a mechanism distinct from ebola virus.\nAbstract: Previous studies have demonstrated that Marburg viruses (MARV) and Ebola viruses (EBOV) inhibit interferon (IFN)-alpha/beta signaling but utilize different mechanisms. EBOV inhibits IFN signaling via its VP24 protein which blocks the nuclear accumulation of tyrosine phosphorylated STAT1. In contrast, MARV infection inhibits IFNalpha/beta induced tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT2. MARV infection is now demonstrated to inhibit not only IFNalpha/beta but also IFNgamma-induced STAT phosphorylation and to inhibit the IFNalpha/beta and IFNgamma-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of upstream Janus (Jak) family kinases. Surprisingly, the MARV matrix protein VP40, not the MARV VP24 protein, has been identified to antagonize Jak and STAT tyrosine phosphorylation, to inhibit IFNalpha/beta or IFNgamma-induced gene expression and to inhibit the induction of an antiviral state by IFNalpha/beta. Global loss of STAT and Jak tyrosine phosphorylation in response to both IFNalpha/beta and IFNgamma is reminiscent of the phenotype seen in Jak1-null cells. Consistent with this model, MARV infection and MARV VP40 expression also inhibit the Jak1-dependent, IL-6-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT3. Finally, expression of MARV VP40 is able to prevent the tyrosine phosphorylation of Jak1, STAT1, STAT2 or STAT3 which occurs following over-expression of the Jak1 kinase. In contrast, MARV VP40 does not detectably inhibit the tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT2 or Tyk2 when Tyk2 is over-expressed. Mutation of the VP40 late domain, essential for efficient VP40 budding, has no detectable impact on inhibition of IFN signaling. This study shows that MARV inhibits IFN signaling by a mechanism different from that employed by the related EBOV. It identifies a novel function for the MARV VP40 protein and suggests that MARV may globally inhibit Jak1-dependent cytokine signaling."

Load the plant vesicles with synthetic siRNAs designed to silence VP40 transcription directly inside the macrophage. Exploration of dietary, pharmacological, and repurposed solutions to achieve this.\"\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThe hypothesis proposes using plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) as a carrier for small interfering RNA (siRNA) specifically targeting the Ebola virus (EBOV) matrix protein VP40, delivered to macrophages. This synthesis evaluates the mechanistic feasibility of using PDEV-based RNA interference (RNAi) to mitigate Ebola virus pathogenesis by intercepting viral protein assembly in macrophages.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nEbola virus (EBOV) remains a critical pathogen, with its matrix protein, VP40, serving as a primary mediator of viral assembly and egress. Research identifies that VP40 is abundantly expressed during infection and plays a number of critical roles in the viral lifecycle. Furthermore, the Ebola genome encodes only seven genes, which mediate the entry, replication, and egress of the virus from the host cell. The EBOV matrix protein is VP40, which is found localized under the lipid envelope of the virus where it bridges the viral lipid envelope and nucleocapsid. EBOV also utilizes mechanisms to antagonize host RNA interference (RNAi) machinery. In addition to viral protein 35 (VP35), we found that VP30 and VP40 independently act as SRSs. Despite these viral defenses, nanotechnology offers viable solutions for these challenges, including the targeted delivery of siRNA. PDEVs, such as ginger-derived exosomes, exhibit unique properties that facilitate therapeutic delivery. Ginger EVs show strong colon and macrophage targeting, as well as robust resistance to acidic degradation in the stomach. Such platforms are already being explored for delivering siRNA to specific immune cells; for instance, here, a hierarchically engineered oral nanotherapeutic is developed based on Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG-derived bacterial nanovesicles (BNVs) for inflammatory macrophage-targeted gene silencing in colitis. By utilizing macrophage-targeting vesicles, one could potentially deliver synthetic siRNA to silence VP40 directly, thus disrupting the viral lifecycle at the assembly stage while bypassing the cell-autonomous suppression mechanisms encoded by EBOV.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* VP40 is not merely a structural protein but an active antagonist of host RNAi, acting as a suppressor of RNA silencing (SRS).\n* Ginger-derived EVs provide a dual-benefit platform: they offer intrinsic anti-inflammatory properties (via 6-shogaol) while serving as robust, acid-resistant carriers for nucleic acid payloads.\n* The effectiveness of PDEV delivery is highly dependent on identifying specific \"therapeutic windows\" for gene silencing, similar to the 36-hour kinetics established for HSP70 suppression in cancer therapy.\n* EBOV pathogenesis involves \"bystander\" damage to immune cells; therefore, targeting VP40 in macrophages may not only limit viral replication but also prevent virus-induced lymphocyte apoptosis.\n* Hybrid membrane strategies (e.g., T lymphocyte-macrophage hybrid membranes) can enhance the specificity of nanocarriers for macrophages beyond what is achieved by bare EVs.\n* Metabolic or pharmacologic modulation of the host's endosomal/lysosomal pathway can be repurposed to improve the cytoplasmic escape of siRNA delivered by plant-derived vesicles.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising alternative due to their immunomodulatory properties; however, whole-cell therapies have certain limitations. MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), including small vesicles-exosomes-have emerged as a safe cell-free therapeutic platform capable of crossing biological barriers and delivering bioactive cargo with low immunogenicity. Various types of RNAs abundantly produced by host MSCs represent a key element of EV content. In particular, EVs carry small RNAs, which essentially determine cellular life and fate. Our review provides a comprehensive mechanistic framework for the use of RNA-loaded EVs, specifically those carrying microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs), in restoring immune homeostasis. We detail the biogenesis and molecular mechanisms governing sorting of RNA into EVs, along with endogenous and exogenous engineering strategies to enhance therapeutic potency. We examine how RNA-loaded EVs modulate immunological processes like reprogramming of macrophage M1-M2 polarization, Th17/Treg balance, and suppression of inflammatory signaling pathways such as NF-\u03baB and the NLRP3 inflammasome. We address critical translational challenges-EV heterogeneity, manufacturing scalability, and need for standardized quality control-while outlining future opportunities for RNA-loaded EV-based therapeutics.\n\nID: 42106920\nTitle: In Situ Engineered \"Cascade-Amplified\" Drug-Loaded Vesicles for Enhanced Cancer Stem Cell Therapy.\nAbstract: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) characterized by the capacity of self-renewal and drug resistance, are a major cause of tumour recurrence and metastasis. However, CSCs are mainly localized in the deep and hypoxic regions of the tumour microenvironment that hinder drug penetration. Furthermore, their overexpression of the CD24/Siglec10 immune checkpoint axis markedly suppresses immune clearance, severely limiting the efficacy of current therapeutic strategies. To address this challenge, this study developed an in situ engineered \"cascade-amplified\" drug-loaded vesicle delivery system, aiming to achieve deep drug delivery into CSC-enriched regions and enhance anti-tumour immune responses. Based on a biomimetic \"core-shell\" nanoplatform (siXkr8/Dox@PMLC), this system initiates a cascade within the TME where Doxorubicin (Dox) induces tumour cells to generate drug-loaded apoptotic bodies (ApoBDs). These ApoBDs serve as primary vesicles that, upon uptake by adjacent tumour cells, trigger secondary apoptosis, establishing a \"cascade-amplified\" cycle of enhanced drug delivery. Meanwhile, the silencing of the phospholipid scramblase Xkr8 via siRNA inhibits phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure on the surface of ApoBDs, thereby preventing their recognition and clearance by M2-type macrophages and facilitating immune phenotype remodelling. Furthermore, through targeted blockade of the CD24/Siglec-10 immune axis, the nanoplatform enhances macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of CSCs. In summary, this strategy achieves deep eradication of CSCs and synergistically enhances anti-tumour immunotherapy, demonstrating significant translational potential.\n\nID: 41882095\nTitle: Modulating tumor-associated macrophages through APP-CD74 blockade with IL4R-exosomes synergizes with PD-1 inhibition in gastric cancer.\nAbstract: Gastric cancer (GC) is characterized by a highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), limiting the efficacy of immunotherapies. This study identifies the APP-CD74 signaling axis as a critical driver of M2-like tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) polarization in GC. Integrated single-cell RNA sequencing from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets revealed selective enrichment of Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP)-CD74 signaling in immunosuppressive TAM subsets. Functional assays in THP-1-derived and murine bone marrow-derived macrophages confirmed that APP and CD74 activation promotes M2 polarization. In vivo, pharmacological inhibition of APP in GC-bearing mice repolarized TAMs toward the M1 phenotype, enhanced CD8\u207a T cell and NK cell responses, and significantly inhibited tumor growth. To enable targeted delivery, exosomes derived from M1 macrophages were engineered with IL4R-targeting ligands and loaded with APP-specific siRNA [IL4R-Exo(siCD74)], effectively targeting M2 macrophages and reversing their phenotype. In orthotopic GC models, IL4R-Exo(siCD74) markedly suppressed tumor progression. Strikingly, its combination with the immune checkpoint inhibitor Nivolumab synergistically boosted antitumor immunity and reshaped the immunosuppressive TME. These findings uncover the APP-CD74 axis as a novel immunoregulatory pathway in GC and provide a nanotherapeutic strategy leveraging macrophage plasticity to overcome immune resistance and enhance immunotherapeutic efficacy.\n\nID: 41881584\nTitle: [Role and mechanism of Wnt9a in human and mouse chronic wound healing].\nAbstract: Objective: To investigate the role and mechanism of Wnt9a in human and mouse chronic wound healing. Methods: This study was a case series combined with group-designed basic study. The chronic wound tissue and its adjacent normal skin tissue were collected from 8 patients with diabetic foot ulcers, who received debridement surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from June to September 2023, including 5 males and 3 females, aged 45-72 years. The expression of Wnt9a was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method and immunofluorescence method. Eight male C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were used to establish a full-thickness skin resected wound on the back. They were divided into control group received no additional treatment and chronic wound group subcutaneously injected with mouse M1 macrophage derived exosomes at the wound edge to establish a chronic wound model using a random number table method (the same grouping method below), with 4 mice in each group. At 7 days after modeling, the Wnt9a expressions in the wound tissue of mice in two groups was detected by ELISA method. Additional 16 male C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were used to establish the chronic wound model as before and were divided into empty control group and Wnt9a overexpression group, with 8 mice in each group, which were injected subcutaneously at the wound edge with enhanced green fluorescent protein empty adenovirus (AV-eGFP) and Wnt9a gene recombinant adenovirus expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (AV-Wnt9a-eGFP), respectively. At 3, 7, and 14 days after modeling, the percentages of residual wound area were calculated. At 14 days after modeling, the expressions of type \u2160 and type \u2162 collagen were detected by Western blotting, and the arrangement of collagen fibers was observed after Masson staining. The normal human skin tissue collected in the abovementioned experiment was used to isolate fibroblasts (Fbs), which were divided into empty control group infected with AV-eGFP and Wnt9a overexpression group infected with AV-Wnt9a-eGFP. The protein expression of Wnt9a at 72 h after infection was detected by Western blotting; at 48 h after infection, the cell migration rate at 48 h after scratching was detected by scratch test. Additional normal human skin Fbs were collected and divided into Wnt9a specific small interfering RNA (siRNA-Wnt9a) group and negative control small interfering RNA (siRNA-NC) group, which were transfected with corresponding small interfering RNA, respectively. At 24 h after transfection, the cell migration rate at 48 h after scratching was detected by scratch test. Additional normal human skin Fbs were taken and divided into empty control group and Wnt9a overexpression group treated as before. At 72 h after infection, transcriptome sequencing was performed to screen for differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and the gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes enrichment analysis were performed. The sample number in all cell experiments was 3. Results: The results of both ELISA method and immunofluorescence method showed that the expression level of Wnt9a in human chronic wound tissue was significantly lower than that in normal skin tissue (with t values of 7.68 and 10.25, respectively, P<0.05). At 7 days after modeling, the expression level of Wnt9a in the wound tissue of mice in chronic wound group was significantly lower than that in control group (t=5.12, P<0.05). The percentages of residual wound area of mice in Wnt9a overexpression group were significantly lower than those in empty control group at 3, 7, and 14 days after modeling (with t values of 3.90, 6.62, and 5.73, respectively, P<0.05). At 14 days after modeling, the expression levels of type \u2160 and type \u2162 collagen in the wound tissue of mice in Wnt9a overexpression group were significantly lower than those in empty control group (with t values of 6.25 and 5.48, respectively, P<0.05). At 14 days after modeling, the collagen fibers in the wound tissue of mice in Wnt9a overexpression group arranged more orderly than those in empty control group. At 72 h after infection, the protein expression level of Wnt9a in cells in Wnt9a overexpression group was significantly higher than that in empty control group (t=6.96, P<0.05). At 48 h after infection, the cell migration rate in Wnt9a overexpression group was (71.6\u00b16.4)% at 48 h after scratching, which was significantly higher than (38.5\u00b12.4)% in empty control group (t=8.31, P<0.05). At 24 h after transfection, the cell migration rate in siRNA-Wnt9a group was (15.4\u00b13.2)% at 48 h after scratching, which was significantly lower than (31.9\u00b13.6)% in siRNA-NC group (t=5.93, P<0.05). At 72 h after infection, compared with that in empty control group, the significantly downregulated DEGs in cells in Wnt9a overexpression group included multiple collagen family genes, and the genes in cells in Wnt9a overexpression group were significantly enriched in the non-classical Wnt signaling pathway. Conclusions: Wnt9a expression is downregulated in chronic wound tissue of human and mice, and the overexpression of Wnt9a may promote migration of Fbs and collagen remodeling through non-classical Wnt

41859644\nTitle: An exosome-biomimetic photothermal nanocarrier for IGF2BP2 siRNA delivery and enhanced ferroptosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.\nAbstract: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) commonly develops treatment resistance, highlighting the necessity of novel therapeutic strategies. Although ferroptosis has emerged as a promising route, its regulatory determinants and effective gene delivery approaches in HNSCC remain poorly understood. In this study, we determined that the RNA-binding protein IGF2BP2 promotes ferroptosis resistance in HNSCC, at least in part by associating with increased NRF2 mRNA stability and sustaining the NRF2-SLC7A11/GPX4 antioxidant axis. Actinomycin D chase assays further support an IGF2BP2-dependent post-transcriptional regulation of NRF2 under erastin-induced ferroptotic stress. To therapeutically target this pathway, we engineered a biomimetic hybrid nanocarrier (si@PLE) by fusing M1 macrophage-derived exosomes with photothermally responsive cationic liposomes for the targeted delivery of IGF2BP2 small interfering RNA (siRNA). si@PLE exhibited favorable physicochemical properties and stability, and exosome-liposome fusion improved siRNA protection and tumor accumulation compared with that of the matched non-fused control, enabling enhanced tumor-site heating under identical irradiation conditions. In vitro and in vivo, si@PLE combined with near-infrared laser irradiation enhanced ferroptosis relative to either monotherapy, significantly suppressing tumor growth with a favorable safety profile. Collectively, these findings establish a biomimetic gene silencing-photothermal platform to sensitize HNSCC to ferroptosis by targeting the IGF2BP2-NRF2 axis.\n\nID: 41714672\nTitle: M2 macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles induce EMT-like transcriptional reprogramming in colorectal cancer cells via upregulation of FAM83A.\nAbstract: In the complex landscape of cancer progression, the immune system shapes crucial interactions between tumor and immune cells. Understanding this dialogue is essential for elucidating how immune-derived cues trigger epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-like transcriptional changes, a fundamental process that drives tumor cell plasticity and facilitates aggressive phenotypes. Here, we investigated the crosstalk between M2 macrophages and colon cancer cells (HT-29) during the post-tumorigenic phase, focusing on exosome-mediated regulation of EMT, a critical pathway controlling tumor cell phenotypic and transcriptional dynamics. Co-culture experiments revealed that M2 macrophage-derived exosomes (M2-Exo) induced profound transcriptional changes, with downregulation of epithelial markers and increased expression of mesenchymal genes. Importantly, EMT induction was markedly stronger following M2-Exo treatment than in the co-culture setting, suggesting that while soluble mediators play a contributory role, EMT is predominantly and directly driven by exosome-mediated signaling. Transcriptomic profiling identified FAM83A as a key upregulated gene in M2-Exo-treated HT-29 cells. Functional analyses demonstrated that FAM83A promoted EMT by modulating regulators associated with decreased E-Cadherin and increased N-Cadherin, MMP2, and MMP9 expression. Importantly, siRNA-mediated silencing of FAM83A abolished its overexpression and inhibited EMT activation, confirming its essential role in M2-Exo-induced programming of EMT. Collectively, these findings highlight exosome-mediated immune-tumor interactions as critical drivers of EMT and the progression toward an invasive, mesenchymal-like phenotype.\n\nID: 41678912\nTitle: Exosomal miR-10b derived from protocatechuic acid-treated efferocytic macrophages inhibits endothelial inflammation by targeting MAP3K7/\u03b2-TrCP/NF-\u03baB signaling pathway.\nAbstract: Protocatechuic acid (PCA), a natural compound found in a variety of Chinese herbal medicines and plant foods, has been documented to inhibit atherosclerosis partially by reducing inflammation burden in arterial endothelial cells. Interestingly, in vitro studies showed that PCA at physiologically reachable concentrations does not affect inflammation burden in TNF-\u03b1-stimulated aortic endothelial cells, whereas it increases the content of exosomal miR-10b secreted by macrophages that have engulfed apoptotic cells (efferocytic macrophages). This study was aimed at investigating whether the in vivo anti-inflammatory effect of PCA in arterial endothelial cells was due to the uptake of efferocytic macrophage exosomal miR-10b. A transwell co-culture system of aortic endothelial cells with efferocytic macrophages was used to evaluate the effect of PCA on NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in aortic endothelial cells. An inhibitor of exosome secretion, GW4869, was applied to confirm the role of exosomes played in the anti-inflammatory effect of PCA. The aortic endothelial cells were administrated with exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages or miR-10b mimic or antagomir to ascertain the role of miR-10b in downregulating inflammation effect of PCA. Bioinformatics analyses, loss-of- and gain-of-function assays and luciferase reporter gene assays were performed to identify targeting relationship between miR-10b and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7 (MAP3K7)/\u03b2-transducin repeat-containing protein (\u03b2-TrCP). Besides, Apoe-/- mice with advanced atherosclerotic plaques were subjected to intragastric administration of PCA and intraperitoneal injection of GW4869. The miR-10b/MAP3K7/\u03b2-TrCP/NF-\u03baB signaling pathways and inflammation indicators were determined in vivo. PCA at physiologically reachable concentrations inhibited NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in TNF-\u03b1-stimulated aortic endothelial cells co-cultured with efferocytic macrophages, in which treatment of GW4869 reversed this effect. Exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages inhibited inflammation and increased miR-10b levels in aortic endothelial cells. Mechanistically, exosomal miR-10b post-transcriptionally repressed MAP3K7 and \u03b2-TrCP, both of which promote NF-\u03baB activation. Knockdown of Map3k7 and Btrc with siRNA in aortic endothelial cells abolished the inhibitory effects of exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages on NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation. Consistently, oral administration of PCA increased miR-10b level and inhibited Map3k7 and Btrc mRNA expression as well as inflammation in aortic endothelial cells in Apoe-/- mice, all of which were abrogated by GW4869 co-treatment. Our current findings suggest that PCA could transfer exosomal miR-10b from efferocytic macrophages to endothelial cells and thus inhibit NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in arterial endothelial cells through repressing MAP3K7 and \u03b2-TrCP, two new targets of miR-10b.\n\nID: 41625362\nTitle: Tumor-homing exosomes enable targeted delivery of siRNA and isoimperatorin for overcoming BTK inhibitor resistance in DLBCL.\nAbstract: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of lymphoma, but over one-third of patients relapse or develop refractory disease after first-line therapy. Novel therapeutic strategies are required to address persistent unmet clinical needs for DLBCL. This study aimed to develop an exosome-based drug delivery system for the targeted combination therapy of siRNA against Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK, an established therapeutic target in B cell lymphomas) and isoimperatorin (ISOIM, an active natural furanocoumarin showing anti-tumor effects) in DLBCL. Tumor exosomes were isolated as the delivery carrier. ISOIM/siBTK@Exosome was prepared by encapsulating ISOIM and si-BTK into exosome using electroporation. Cellular uptake, immune escape, targeted delivery efficiency, anti-lymphoma activity and biosafety of ISOIM/siBTK@Exosome were evaluated in two DLBCL cell lines and in tumor-bearing mice. ISOIM/siBTK@Exosome displayed significant anti-lymphoma activity compared to ISOIM@Exosome or siBTK@Exosome alone, demonstrating synergistic therapeutic role of ISOIM and si-BTK. Besides, ISOIM/siBTK@Exosome can accelerate T cells activation and prevent macrophage M2 polarization in vitro. Administration of ISOIM/siBTK@Exosome to tumor-bearing mice significantly inhibited tumor growth and prolonged survival. The ISOIM/siBTK@Exosome was biocompatible and biosafe in vivo without damage on the major organs in H&E staining. The prepared ISOIM/siBTK@Exosome may provide novel targeted therapeutic strategy to be applied in the clinical management of patients with DLBCL.\n\nID: 41573746\nTitle: Hypoxia-induced immunosuppression in uveal melanoma is mediated by CD63+ exosomes delivering lactate to reprogram immune cells.\nAbstract: Uveal melanoma (UM) is characterized by profound immunosuppression, resistance to immunotherapy, and significant hypoxia. This study investigates the role of hypoxia in mediating metabolic crosstalk with immune cells via CD63-enriched exosomes. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis identified a CD63-high tumor subpopulation in UM associated with lactate metabolism and vesicle transport. Under hypoxic conditions (1% O2 vs. 21% O2 normoxia), UMT2 cells exhibited upregulation of CD63 expression, increased exosome secretion, and elevated exosomal lactate levels. In co-culture assays, these hypoxic exosomes promoted macrophage M2 polarization, as indicated by increased CD206+ expression and elevated Extracellular Acidification Rate/Oxygen Consumption Rate (ECAR/OCR) ratios in macrophages and induced CD8+ T cell exhaustion, as evidenced by higher PD-1+TIM-3+ expression, and promoted the secretion of immunosuppressive cytokines such as TGF-\u03b2 and IL-10. Importantly, these effects, which were driven by exosomal lactate transfer leading to macrophage metabolic reprogramming, were abolished upon CD63 knockdown using siRNA. Mechanistically, CD63 facilitates a hypoxia-induced exosomal lactate shuttle. We conclude that CD63-mediated transfer of hypoxic exosomal lactate establishes a critically immunosuppressive microenvironment in UM. Targeting the hypoxia/CD63/exosomal lactate axis may represent a promising novel therapeutic strategy to restore anti-tumor immunity in UM.\n\nID: 41440015\nTitle: Macrophage-Derived Exosomal MALAT1 Induced by Hyperglycemia Regulates Vascular Calcification Through miR-143-3p/MGP Axis in Cultured Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells and Diabetic Rat Carotid Artery.\nAbstract: Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1(MALAT1) is associated with vascular calcification and diabetes-related complications. However, the effect of exosomal MALAT1 derived from macrophages induced by hyperglycemia on vascular calcification (VC) remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of VC and its regulatory mechanisms in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and diabetic rats by exosomal MALAT1 derived from macrophages treated with high levels of glucose. Macrophages and VSMCs were cultured in 25 mM glucose. Macrophages exposed to high glucose exhibited increased expression of exosomal MALAT1. When transferred to VSMCs, exosomal MALAT1 significantly suppressed the expression of miR-143-3p while upregulating Matrix Gla protein (MGP, an inhibitor of VC) mRNA and protein levels. Interventions using MALAT1 siRNA or miR-143-3p mimics effectively reversed this effect. Both MALAT1 siRNA and overexpression of miR-143-3p significantly increased the calcium content in cultured VSMCs and in the carotid artery of diabetic rats following balloon injury. Balloon injury to the carotid artery in diabetic rats treated with macrophage-derived exosomes significantly increased the expression of MALAT1 and MGP while reducing the expression of miR-143-3p in the carotid artery. These findings demonstrate that macrophage-derived exosomal MALAT1 modulates VC via the MALAT1/miR-143-3p/MGP axis under hyperglycemic conditions. The results suggest that targeting exosomal MALAT1 may offer a novel and effective therapeutic approach for mitigating VC in metabolic disorders such as diabetes.\n\nID: 41378821\nTitle: Optimizing Exosome Lipid Hybrid Nanoparticles for Enhanced siRNA Delivery and Improved Therapeutic Anticancer Efficacy In Vivo.\nAbstract: Exosome lipid hybrid nanoparticles (ELNs) have emerged as promising drug delivery vehicles, integrating the innate targeting capabilities of exosomes with efficient cytosolic delivery of lipid nanoparticles. However, despite growing interest, the development of ELNs for nucleic acid delivery remains a formidable challenge, compounded by diverse production methods and a lack of systematic approaches to optimize their formulation and performance. This study employed a Box-Behnken design and two fabrication methods: freeze-thaw and sonication, to optimize the formulation of ELNs derived from exosomes of five distinct cancer cells. Formulation criteria focused on maximizing the fusion efficiency while minimizing particle size. The impact of the fusion method on cellular association and gene silencing of promising therapeutic targets, CD24, CD44, and CD47, was evaluated. The optimized formulations were subsequently assessed for therapeutic efficacy in 4T1 and B16F10 tumor models. Through careful manipulation of formulation variables, we obtained optimal ELNs with fusion efficiencies exceeding 50% and particle sizes under 170 nm while preserving exosomal markers CD9, CD63, and CD81. Cellular association studies revealed that ELNs specifically targeted their parental cell line, achieving \u223c2.5-fold higher siRNA association compared to LNPs. Furthermore, the optimized ELNs facilitated the delivery of therapeutic siRNAs, resulting in robust gene silencing and consequently improved the in vitro macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of treated cancer cells. In vivo studies using 4T1 and B16F10 tumor models highlighted the enhanced therapeutic potential of the optimized ELNs, as evidenced by significant tumor targeting and growth inhibition. These findings underscore the importance of systematic formulation and method optimization in advancing ELNs as effective nucleic acid delivery platforms for cancer therapy.\n\nID: 41293091\nTitle: Double-Responsive Macrophage-Derived Exosomes Alleviate Acute Lung Injury.\nAbstract: Acute lung injury (ALI) is one of the complications of sepsis, and macrophages play an important role in ALI. The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody-modified chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 8 (CXCL8) overexpression of macrophage (CXCL8@M)-derived exosomes miR-126a-3p (EGFR@CXCL8@exo-miR-126a-3p) on sepsis ALI. CXCL8@M was obtained via macrophage infection of CXCL8 plasmid, and CXCL8-M-exo was obtained via an exosome extraction kit. In addition, hsa-miR-126-3p agomir [a specially chemically modified microRNA (miRNA) mimic, named miR-126-3p] was loaded in CXCL8@M-exo to form CXCR8@exo-miR-126a-3p via electroporation technology. Further, EGFR@CXCR8@exo-miR-126a-3p was obtained via EGFR monoclonal antibody-modified CXCR8@exo-miR-126a-3p. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI models were used to evaluate the role and mechanism of EGFR@CXCR8@exo-miR-126a-3p on ALI. Single-cell sequencing and miRNA chip results showed that miR-126a-3p was mainly expressed in pulmonary macrophages and markedly decreased, while single-cell sequencing and immunofluorescence results showed that EGFR was expressed and significantly elevated in macrophages in ALI mice. miR-126a-3p and EGFR siRNA significantly inhibited polarization of M1 macrophage. The imaging results of small animals showed that EGFR@CXCL8-exo-miR-126a-3p has obvious macrophage targeting. The results showed that EGFR@CXCR8@exo-miR-126a-3p significantly inhibited M1 macrophage and increased Treg cells to exert anti-inflammatory effects. The mechanism of EGFR@CXCR8@exo-miR-126a-3p on ALI is mainly via inhibition of PIK3R2/NLRP3 signaling pathway and ferroptosis. This study provided a new treatment method for ALI.\n\nID: 41094547\nTitle: M2-exo promote orthodontic bone remodeling via the MeCP2-TCF20-HDAC1 axis.\nAbstract: Orthodontic bone remodeling is a complex process involving a dynamic balance between osteogenesis and osteoclast genesis. Although M2 macrophage-derived exosomes (M2-exos) have emerged as key regulators of bone metabolism through immunomodulation and paracrine signaling, their specific mechanisms in orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of the epigenetic MeCP2-TCF20 complex in M2-exo-mediated orthodontic bone remodeling. A rat OTM model was established to evaluate bone remodeling dynamics using micro-CT, histomorphometry (H&E and TRAP staining), and immunohistochemistry. Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) were isolated and treated with M2-exos to assess osteogenic differentiation through alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alizarin red S (ARS) staining, qPCR, and Western blot. Molecular mechanisms were explored via RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry (IP-MS), and functional validation experiments (siRNA knockdown and overexpression). Orthodontic tension force upregulate M2 polarization and osteoblast differentiation, in contrast to compressive force which triggered M1 polarization and osteoclastogenesis, with concomitant modulation of MeCP2 expression in mechanically stressed periodontal tissues. M2-exos significantly promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. Mechanistic studies revealed that M2-exos activated the MeCP2-TCF20 complex, which directly suppressed HDAC1 expression, thereby activating the Wnt/\u03b2-catenin signaling pathway. These findings highlight the critical role of the M2-exo/MeCP2-TCF20 axis in orchestrating orthodontic bone remodeling through epigenetic regulation. This study provides novel insights into the therapeutic potential of M2-exos for enhancing orthodontic treatment efficiency.\n\nID: 41089383\nTitle: Adipose mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes rescue mitochondrial function through SIRT1 to improve diabetic wound healing.\nAbstract: Diabetic wounds represent the most common type of chronic wounds. Persistent inflammation and elevated oxidative stress are hallmark features of chronic wounds, where macrophage phenotypic polarization playing a critical role in the healing process. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell exosomes (ADSC-exos) have shown promising therapeutic effects in the treatment of diabetic wounds by modulating macrophage function. This study aims to elucidate the specific downstream regulatory mechanisms through both in vitro and in vivo investigations. A streptozotocin-induced diabetic mouse model and high glucose-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages were utilized to mimic diabetic microenvironments. Wound tissues were collected from patients with diabetic foot ulcer. A skin incision model was established in mice and ADSC-exos were given subcutaneously. Streptozotocin-induced diabetic myeloid-specific sirt1 -/- mice SIRT1 siRNA-transfected macrophages were employed to investigate the role of SIRT1 in vivo and in vitro. Wound healing rates were quantified. Mitochondrial function, lysosomal activity, autophagy flux, and inflammation status were systematically assessed. In diabetic mice and high glucose-treated macrophages, lysosomal dysfunction preceded mitochondrial and autophagy flux impairments. SIRT1 expression was significantly reduced in both diabetic wound tissues and macrophages, accompanied by M1 macrophage polarization. SIRT1 interference experiments revealed that the impact of ADSC-exos on mitochondrial function, autophagy flux, and inflammatory response were partially dependent on SIRT1. Notably, the therapeutic effects of ADSC-exos on mitochondrial and autophagic pathways were markedly attenuated upon SIRT1 suppression. These findings demonstrate that ADSC-exos promotes diabetic wound healing by restoring mitochondrial function and autophagy via SIRT1 activation. These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of ADSC-exos and provide a mechanistic foundation for future exosome engineering strategies.\n\nID: 41043572\nTitle: TNF promotes osteoclastogenesis by secreting miR-31-5p into small extracellular vesicles via the autotaxin-LPA-LPAR1 axis in arthritic fibroblast-like synoviocytes.\nAbstract: Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of arthritis. However, the impact of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) secreted by FLSs on osteoclastogenesis remains incompletely understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-activated FLSs in sEV-mediated release of osteoclastogenic miRNAs and elucidate their functional contribution to osteoclastogenesis. Stimulation of SW982\u00a0cells with LPA or TNF significantly increased sEV secretion. TNF upregulated autotaxin expression and promoted sEV release; however, small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated knockdown (KD) of LPAR1 attenuated the increase in sEV release induced by the TNF-autotaxin-LPA axis. Notably, stimulation with TNF or LPA elevated syntenin-1 expression without altering its mRNA level. Furthermore, KD of the syntenin-1 gene (SDCBP) suppressed the LPA-induced increase in sEV release, indicating that syntenin-1 may mediate sEV secretion induced by the TNF-autotaxin-LPA-LPAR1 axis. sEVs derived from TNF- or LPA-treated SW982\u00a0cells stimulated osteoclastogenesis. We identified miR-31-5p as an osteoclastogenic miRNA enriched in sEVs. Expression levels of miR-31-5p in sEVs from TNF- and LPA-stimulated rheumatoid arthritis (RA) FLSs were significantly higher than in those from unstimulated RA FLSs. Treatment with a miR-31-5p mimic enhanced osteoclastogenesis by targeting large tumor suppressor kinase 2 (LATS2), whereas treatment with its inhibitor suppressed the sEV-mediated promotion of osteoclastogenesis. These findings reveal a mechanism by which TNF- and LPA-activated FLSs may facilitate sEV-mediated delivery of osteoclastogenic miRNAs, such as miR-31-5p, to osteoclast precursors, thereby contributing to osteoclast formation and bone destruction.\n\nID: 40902528\nTitle: Bisphenol A and Di-n-butyl phthalate disrupt bone homeostasis bidirectionally via CD36-mediated BMSCs autophagy inhibition and exosome-promoted osteoclastogenesis.\nAbstract: Bisphenol A (BPA) and di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) are ubiquitous endocrine disruptors implicated in bone metabolism disorders, but their precise mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we demonstrated that BPA and DBP bidirectionally disrupt bone homeostasis by targeting CD36 in bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Mechanistically, both chemicals upregulate CD36 expression, which sequesters ATG9a at the Golgi apparatus, inhibits autophagosome maturation, and thereby impairs osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, as evidenced by reduced ALP and RUNX-2 levels. Exosomes from BPA-treated BMSCs contain elevated RANKL, NFATC1, and osteoclast-promoting miRNAs, driving RAW264.7 macrophages toward bone-resorbing osteoclast phenotypes. Importantly, siRNA-mediated CD36 knockdown in BMSCs restores autophagy, recovers osteogenic markers, normalizes exosomal cargo, and reduces osteoclastogenic potential. Furthermore, in vivo rat mandibular defect models validate that BPA exposure impairs bone repair, alters CD36-dependent autophagy and osteoclastogenesis, effects that were ameliorated by CD36 silencing. Collectively, these dual actions-autophagy inhibition in BMSCs and exosome-mediated osteoclastogenesis-converge to disturb bone remodeling, providing novel insights into the pathogenesis of endocrine disruptor-induced osteoporosis and identifying CD36 as a promising therapeutic target for preserving skeletal integrity.\n\nID: 40877516\nTitle: Bioinspired Extracellular Vesicles for Enhanced Delivery of siRNA to Tumors.\nAbstract: Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are among the most effective nanocarriers for siRNA delivery due to their high transfection efficiency, nucleic acid encapsulation capacity, and relatively low toxicity. This has led to significant interest from academic institutions and pharmaceutical companies. However, the intrinsic hepatic tropism of LNPs limits their potential for targeted siRNA delivery to tumors. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), as natural nucleic acid carriers, exhibit unique biological properties. In recent years, EVs derived from M1 macrophages have gained particular attention for tumor-targeted therapy. Bioinspired nanovesicles composed of LNPs and M1 macrophage-derived EVs may combine the advantageous characteristics of both carriers and offer a promising vehicle for siRNA delivery to tumor tissues, thus warranting further investigation. This chapter outlines a laboratory-scale method for constructing bioinspired nanovesicles. First, a range of experimental methods for screening and optimizing these nanovesicles are introduced. Then, various assessment metrics such as siRNA encapsulation efficiency, vesicle fusion efficiency, and target gene silencing efficiency are discussed. Finally, experimental designs are presented for evaluating the potential siRNA delivery capabilities of these bioinspired nanovesicles both in vitro and in vivo.\n\nID: 40712413\nTitle: Engineering nanoplatforms of bacterial outer membrane vesicles to overcome cancer therapy resistance.\nAbstract: Resistance to cancer therapy is driven by physical barriers, tumor heterogeneity, selective therapeutic pressure, immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and others. Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) represent a promising nanotherapeutic platform to combat cancer therapy resistance. This review discusses the dual roles of OMVs in tumorigenesis and cancer therapy, highlighting their potential applications to enhance treatment efficacy. OMVs from pathogenic bacteria, such as Fusobacterium nucleatum and Helicobacter pylori, exacerbate chemoresistance by reshaping TME through hypoxia-induced metabolic reprogramming and immune evasion, while OMVs from some bacteria, such as probiotics, counteract immunosuppression by promoting cytotoxic T-cell infiltration and macrophage polarization. As bio-derived and conveniently engineered drug delivery platforms, OMVs maximize the synergetic anticancer effect by pathogen associated molecular patterns and the payloads. These functional payloads include siRNAs, cytotoxicity and molecular agents, and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Bacterial OMVs demonstrate unique advantages through their capacity to penetrate physical barriers, achieve tumor-specific targeting, activate immune responses, to overcome cancer therapy resistance. A successful example is the OMV-based nanoplatform with engineered OMVs co-delivering CD47-siRNA and doxorubicin to overcome drug resistance by inducing immunogenic cell death and dendritic cell activation of glioblastoma. Furthermore, OMV-based cancer vaccines presented with tumor antigens or hybridized with tumor-derived membranes enhance dendritic cell maturation and antigen-specific T-cell responses, reversing treatment resistance. By addressing challenges in mass production and safety concerns, OMVs-based platforms can be developed as powerful tools for more effective and personalized cancer treatments.\n\nID: 40700483\nTitle: Engineering hybrid nanoparticles for targeted codelivery of triptolide and CYP3A4-siRNA against pulmonary metastatic melanoma.\nAbstract: Pulmonary metastatic melanoma (PMM) is an aggressive malignancy with limited response and rapid resistance to clinical chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and biological therapies. Here, we developed a targeted biomimetic drug delivery system, TP-siRC@tHyNPs, by fusing exosomes derived from engineered cells overexpressing DR5 single-chain variable fragments (DR5-Exo) with liposomes coencapsulating triptolide (TP) and CYP3A4-siRNA (TP-siRC@Lip). DR5-Exo facilitated the targeted delivery of drug to tumor cells through DR5 receptor recognition and simultaneously activated apoptotic pathways. Moreover, CYP3A4-siRNA effectively prolonged the half-life of TP, thereby enhancing its antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects. Mechanistic studies revealed that TP-siRC@tHyNPs induced immunogenic cell death, reprogrammed macrophage polarization, arrested cell cycle progression, and triggered apoptotic pathways. In vivo experiments demonstrated that TP-siRC@tHyNPs specifically accumulated in lung tissue, notably inhibiting the growth of PMM while exhibiting negligible toxicity in tumor-bearing mice. Overall, this study provides a promising strategy for targeting PMM treatment, improving therapeutic efficacy while reducing off-target toxicity.\n\nID: 40600720\nTitle: M1 Macrophage-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Loaded with CX3CR1 siRNA for the Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer.\nAbstract: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a highly fatal malignancy, with inadequate therapeutic strategies and an adverse prognosis. Gene therapy raises a prospective option to overcome the challenges posed by conventional therapeutic strategies. The CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis plays a critical role in promoting tumor cell proliferation, migration, and metastasis in PDAC. Targeted delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) against CX3CR1 through M1 phenotype macrophage extracellular vesicles is a potential strategy to achieve accurate PDAC treatment. This study sought to investigate the therapeutic potential of siRNA specifically targeting CX3CR1 in PDAC via loading into extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from M1 macrophages, evaluating its therapeutic efficacy through in vitro and in vivo experiments. The results demonstrated that siCX3CR1 was successfully incorporated into extracellular vesicles originating from M1 macrophages. M1 EV/siCX3CR1 significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of AsPC-1 cells in vitro. In the AsPC-1 subcutaneously transplanted tumor model, M1 EV/siCX3CR1 also exhibited a significant tumor-suppressive effect. Overall, the loading of siCX3CR1 into M1 EVs holds promise as a potential therapeutic approach for pancreatic cancer treatment in the future.\n\nID: 40452071\nTitle: miRNA let-7-5p present in the extracellular vesicles of Trichinella spiralis newborn larvae inhibits the function of M1-type RAW264.7 macrophages by targeting C/EBP\u03b4.\nAbstract: Trichinella spiralis, in its newborn larva (NBL) stage, invades the host bloodstream and disseminates throughout the body. Concurrently, M1 macrophages undergo transformation into M2 macrophages. In our previous studies, we demonstrated that extracellular vesicles secreted by NBL (NBL-EVs) significantly express the microRNA (miRNA) cel-let-7-5p. In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory effects and mechanisms of action of EVs derived from T. spiralis NBL and the influence of their key miRNA, cel-let-7-5p, on M1 macrophages. This study investigates the impact of T. spiralis NBL-EVs and cel-let-7-5p on RAW264.7 macrophages through in vitro co-culture, followed by a dual luciferase assay to confirm C/EBP\u03b4 as the target of cel-let-7-5p. M1-polarized RAW264.7 cells were subsequently transfected with various agents, including NBL-EVs, cel-let-7-5p mimic, C/EBP\u03b4 small interfering RNA (siRNA), and so forth. The cell functions, surface molecule expression, transcription, and cytokine release were analyzed using flow cytometry, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), western blot, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of NBL-EVs and cel-let-7-5p on macrophage polarization. Results show that cel-let-7-5p transported by T. spiralis NBL-EVs inhibited the functional activity of M1 RAW264.7 macrophages by targeting C/EBP\u03b4. This inhibition was validated by reduced CD86 and increased CD206 expression, along with decreased nitric oxide (NO) synthesis and downregulation of the M1 marker genes interleukin-12 (IL-12) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). In contrast, the messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of IL-10 and arginase-1 (Arg1), which are M2 characteristic genes, were significantly enhanced. However, the release of M1 pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1), and IL-1\u03b2, was decreased proportionally. Notably, introducing a cel-let-7-5p inhibitor effectively reversed the suppressive effect of NBL-EVs on M1 macrophage function and partially mitigated their transition to the M2 phenotype, notably impacting Arg1 gene expression. However, no significant changes were observed in CD206 protein expression or IL-10 mRNA levels. The findings of this study reveal that cel-let-7-5p in T. spiralis NBL-EVs can inhibit the function of M1-type RAW264.7 macrophages by targeting C/EBP\u03b4.\n\nID: 41490528\nTitle: Identification of novel small chemical compounds that inhibit Ebola virus VP40-mediated virus-like particle production.\nAbstract: The central role of Ebola virus (EBOV) VP40 in nascent virion assembly and budding from infected host cells makes it an important therapeutic target. Previously, we reported two novel chemical compounds (NUSU#1 and NUSU#2) that inhibit EBOV VP40-mediated virus-like particle (VLP) production. In this study, we aimed to develop and identify novel synthetic compounds derived from NUSU#1. Forty-five compounds were synthesized and examined for their effects in vitro. Through cell viability and screening assays that we previously developed and reported, five novel synthesized compounds were selected for their inhibitory effects on EBOV VP40-mediated VLP production. Although none of them showed a stronger inhibitory effect on VLP production than NUSU#1, four of the five selected compounds exhibited a statistically significant reduction in EBOV VP40-mediated VLP production compared with the control treatment using a VLP assay.\n\nID: 36814718\nTitle: Potential of siRNA in COVID-19 therapy: Emphasis on in silico design and nanoparticles based delivery.\nAbstract: Small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated mRNA degradation approach have imparted its eminence against several difficult-to-treat genetic disorders and other allied diseases. Viral outbreaks and resulting pandemics have repeatedly threatened public health and questioned human preparedness at the forefront of drug design and biomedical readiness. During the recent pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2, mRNA-based vaccination strategies have paved the way for a new era of RNA therapeutics. RNA Interference (RNAi) based approach using small interfering RNA may complement clinical management of the COVID-19. RNA Interference approach will primarily work by restricting the synthesis of the proteins required for viral replication, thereby hampering viral cellular entry and trafficking by targeting host as well as protein factors. Despite promising benefits, the stability of small interfering RNA in the physiological environment is of grave concern as well as site-directed targeted delivery and evasion of the immune system require immediate attention. In this regard, nanotechnology offers viable solutions for these challenges. The review highlights the potential of small interfering RNAs targeted toward specific regions of the viral genome and the features of nanoformulations necessary for the entrapment and delivery of small interfering RNAs. In silico design of small interfering RNA for different variants of SARS-CoV-2 has been discussed. Various nanoparticles as promising carriers of small interfering RNAs along with their salient properties, including surface functionalization, are summarized. This review will help tackle the real-world challenges encountered by the in vivo delivery of small interfering RNAs, ensuring a safe, stable, and readily available drug candidate for efficient management of SARS-CoV-2 in the future.\n\nID: 30169850\nTitle: Ebola Virus VP40 Modulates Cell Cycle and Biogenesis of Extracellular Vesicles.\nAbstract: Ebola virus (EBOV) mainly targets myeloid cells; however, extensive death of T cells is often observed in lethal infections. We have previously shown that EBOV VP40 in exosomes causes recipient immune cell death. Using VP40-producing clones, we analyzed donor cell cycle, extracellular vesicle (EV) biogenesis, and recipient immune cell death. Transcription of cyclin D1 and nuclear localization of VP40 were examined via kinase and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. Extracellular vesicle contents were characterized by mass spectrometry, cytokine array, and western blot. Biosafety level-4 facilities were used for wild-type Ebola virus infection studies. VP40 EVs induced apoptosis in recipient T cells and monocytes. VP40 clones were accelerated in growth due to cyclin D1 upregulation, and nuclear VP40 was found bound to the cyclin D1 promoter. Accelerated cell cycling was related to EV biogenesis, resulting in fewer but larger EVs. VP40 EV contents were enriched in ribonucleic acid-binding proteins and cytokines (interleukin-15, transforming growth factor-\u03b21, and interferon-\u03b3). Finally, EBOV-infected cell and animal EVs contained VP40, nucleoprotein, and glycoprotein. Nuclear VP40 upregulates cyclin D1 levels, resulting in dysregulated cell cycle and EV biogenesis. Packaging of cytokines and EBOV proteins into EVs from infected cells may be responsible for the decimation of immune cells during EBOV pathogenesis.\n\nID: 29696006\nTitle: Corrigendum: Ebola VP40 in Exosomes Can Cause Immune Cell Dysfunction.\nAbstract: [This corrects the article on p. 1765 in vol. 7, PMID: 27872619.].\n\nID: 28170013\nTitle: Non-active site mutations disturb the loop dynamics, dimerization, viral budding and egress of VP40 of the Ebola virus.\nAbstract: The first account of the dynamic features of the loop region of VP40 of the Ebola virus (EboV) using accelerated molecular dynamics (aMD) simulations is reported herein. Due to its major role in the Ebola life cycle, VP40 is considered a promising therapeutic target. The available experimental data on the N-terminal domain (NTD) loop indicates that mutations K127A, T129A and N130A demonstrate an unrecognized role for NTD-plasma membrane (PM) interaction for efficient VP40-PM localization, oligomerization, matrix assembly and egress. Despite experimental results, the molecular description of VP40 and the information it can provide still remain vague. Therefore, to gain further molecular insight into the effect of mutations on the loop region of VP40 and its effects on the overall protein conformation and VP40 dimerization, aMD simulations and post-dynamic analyses were employed for wildtype (WT) and mutant systems. The results showed significant variations in the presence of mutations as per RMSF, RMSD, Rg, PCA and distance calculations in comparison to the WT. These results could provide researchers with insight with regards to the conformational aspects concerning VP40 and its close relation to the experimental data. We believe that the results presented in this study will ultimately provide a useful understanding of the structural landscape of the loop region of VP40, which would contribute towards the discovery of novel EboV inhibitors.\n\nID: 28144904\nTitle: VP40 of the Ebola Virus as a Target for EboV Therapy: Comprehensive Conformational and Inhibitor Binding Landscape from Accelerated Molecular Dynamics.\nAbstract: The first account of the dynamic features of the loop region of VP40 of the Ebola virus was studied using accelerated molecular dynamics simulations and reported herein. Among the proteins of the Ebola virus, the matrix protein (VP40) plays a significant role in the virus lifecycle thereby making it a promising therapeutic target. Of interest is the newly elucidated N-terminal domain loop region of VP40 comprising residues K127, T129, and N130 which when mutated to alanine have demonstrated an unrecognized role for N-terminal domain-plasma membrane interaction for efficient VP40-plasma membrane localization, oligomerization, matrix assembly, and egress. The molecular understanding of the conformational features of VP40 in complex with a known inhibitor still remains elusive. Using accelerated molecular dynamics approaches, we conducted a comparative study on VP40 apo and bound systems to understand the conformational features of VP40 at the molecular level and to determine the effect of inhibitor binding with the aid of a number of post-dynamic analytical tools. Significant features were seen in the presence of an inhibitor as per molecular mechanics/generalized born surface area binding free energy calculations. Results revealed that inhibitor binding to VP40 reduces the flexibility and mobility of the protein as supported by root mean square fluctuation and root mean square deviation calculations. The study revealed a characteristic \"twisting\" motion and coiling of the loop region of VP40 accompanied by conformational changes in the dimer interface upon inhibitor binding. We believe that results presented in this study will ultimately provide useful insight into the binding landscape of VP40 which could assist researchers in the discovery of potent Ebola virus inhibitors for anti-Ebola therapies.\n\nID: 27872619\nTitle: Ebola VP40 in Exosomes Can Cause Immune Cell Dysfunction.\nAbstract: Ebola virus (EBOV) is an enveloped, ssRNA virus from the family Filoviridae capable of causing severe hemorrhagic fever with up to 80-90% mortality rates. The most recent outbreak of EBOV in West Africa starting in 2014 resulted in over 11,300 deaths; however, long-lasting persistence and recurrence in survivors has been documented, potentially leading to further transmission of the virus. We have previously shown that exosomes from cells infected with HIV-1, HTLV-1 and Rift Valley Fever virus are able to transfer viral proteins and non-coding RNAs to na\u00efve recipient cells, resulting in an altered cellular activity. In the current manuscript, we examined the effect of Ebola structural proteins VP40, GP, NP and VLPs on recipient immune cells, as well as the effect of exosomes containing these proteins on na\u00efve immune cells. We found that VP40-transfected cells packaged VP40 into exosomes, and that these exosomes were capable of inducing apoptosis in recipient immune cells. Additionally, we show that presence of VP40 within parental cells or in exosomes delivered to na\u00efve cells could result in the regulation of RNAi machinery including Dicer, Drosha, and Ago 1, which may play a role in the induction of cell death in recipient immune cells. Exosome biogenesis was regulated by VP40 in transfected cells by increasing levels of ESCRT-II proteins EAP20 and EAP45, and exosomal marker proteins CD63 and Alix. VP40 was phosphorylated by Cdk2/Cyclin complexes at Serine 233 which could be reversed with r-Roscovitine treatment. The level of VP40-containing exosomes could also be regulated by treated cells with FDA-approved Oxytetracycline. Additionally, we utilized novel nanoparticles to safely capture VP40 and other viral proteins from Ebola VLPs spiked into human samples using SDS/reducing agents, thus minimizing the need for BSL-4 conditions for most downstream assays. Collectively, our data indicates that VP40 packaged into exosomes may be responsible for the deregulation and eventual destruction of the T-cell and myeloid arms of the immune system (bystander lymphocyte apoptosis), allowing the virus to replicate to high titers in the immunocompromised host. Moreover, our results suggest that the use of drugs such as Oxytetracycline to modulate the levels of exosomes exiting EBOV-infected cells may be able to prevent the devastation of the adaptive immune system and allow for an improved rate of survival.\n\nID: 27595345\nTitle: Intra-host dynamics of Ebola virus during 2014.\nAbstract: Since 2013, West Africa has encountered the largest Ebola virus (EBOV) disease outbreak on record, and Sierra Leone is the worst-affected country, with nearly half of the infections. By means of next-generation sequencing and phylogeographic analysis, the epidemiology and transmission of EBOV have been well elucidated. However, the intra-host dynamics that mainly reflect viral-host interactions still need to be studied. Here, we show a total of 710 intra-host single nucleotide variations (iSNVs) from deep-sequenced samples from EBOV-infected patients, through a well-tailored bioinformatics pipeline. We present a comprehensive distribution of iSNVs during this outbreak and along the EBOV genome. Analyses of iSNV and its allele frequency reveal that VP40 is the most conserved gene during this outbreak, and thus it would be an ideal therapeutic target. In the co-occurring iSNV network, varied iSNV sites present different selection features. Intriguingly, the T-to-C substitutions at the 3'-UTR of the nucleoprotein (NP; positions 3008 and 3011), observed in many patients, result in the upregulation of the transcription of NP through an Ebola mini-genome reporting system. Additionally, no iSNV enrichment within B-cell epitopes of GP has been observed.\n\nID: 26120351\nTitle: The multifunctional Ebola virus VP40 matrix protein is a promising therapeutic target.\nAbstract: The highly virulent nature of Ebola virus, evident from the 2014 West African pandemic, highlights the need to develop vaccines or therapeutic agents that limit the pathogenesis and spread of this virus. While vaccines represent an obvious approach, targeting virus interactions with host proteins that critically regulate the virus lifecycle also represent important therapeutic strategies. Among Ebola virus proteins at this critical interface is its matrix protein, VP40, which is abundantly expressed during infection and plays a number of critical roles in the viral lifecycle. In addition to regulating viral transcription, VP40 coordinates virion assembly and budding from infected cells. Details of the molecular mechanisms underpinning these essential functions are currently being elucidated, with a particular emphasis on its interactions with host proteins that control virion assembly and egress. This review focuses on the strategies geared toward developing novel therapeutic agents that target VP40-specific control of host functions critical to virion transcription, assembly and egress.\n\nID: 24283270\nTitle: Could the Ebola virus matrix protein VP40 be a drug target?\nAbstract: Filoviruses are filamentous lipid-enveloped viruses and include Ebola (EBOV) and Marburg, which are morphologically identical but antigenically distinct. These viruses can be very deadly with outbreaks of EBOV having clinical fatality as high as 90%. In 2012 there were two separate Ebola outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda that resulted in 25 and 4 fatalities, respectively. The lack of preventive vaccines and FDA-approved therapeutics has struck fear that the EBOV could become a pandemic threat. The Ebola genome encodes only seven genes, which mediate the entry, replication, and egress of the virus from the host cell. The EBOV matrix protein is VP40, which is found localized under the lipid envelope of the virus where it bridges the viral lipid envelope and nucleocapsid. VP40 is effectively a peripheral protein that mediates the plasma membrane binding and budding of the virus prior to egress. A number of studies have demonstrated specific deletions or mutations of VP40 to abrogate viral egress but to date pharmacological inhibition of VP40 has not been demonstrated. This editorial highlights VP40, which is the most abundantly expressed protein of the virus and discusses VP40 as a potential therapeutic target.\n\nID: 22272270\nTitle: MicroRNA-221 modulates RSV replication in human bronchial epithelium by targeting NGF expression.\nAbstract: Early-life infection by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is associated with aberrant expression of the prototypical neurotrophin nerve growth factor (NGF) and its cognate receptors in human bronchial epithelium. However, the chain of events leading to this outcome, and its functional implications for the progression of the viral infection, has not been elucidated. This study sought to test the hypothesis that RSV infection modulates neurotrophic pathways in human airways by silencing the expression of specific microRNAs (miRNAs), and that this effect favors viral growth by interfering with programmed death of infected cells. Human bronchial epithelial cells infected with green fluorescent protein-expressing RSV (rgRSV) were screened with multiplex qPCR arrays, and miRNAs significantly affected by the virus were analyzed for homology with mRNAs encoding neurotrophic factors or receptors. Mimic sequences of selected miRNAs were transfected into non-infected bronchial cells to confirm the role of each of them in regulating neurotrophins expression at the gene and protein level, and to study their influence on cell cycle and viral replication. RSV caused downregulation of 24 miRNAs and upregulation of 2 (p<0.01). Homology analysis of microarray data revealed that 6 of those miRNAs exhibited a high degree of complementarity to NGF and/or one of its cognate receptors TrKA and p75(NTR). Among the selected miRNAs, miR-221 was significantly downregulated by RSV and its transfection in bronchial epithelial cells maximally inhibited gene and protein expression of NGF and TrKA, increased apoptotic cell death, and reduced viral replication and infectivity. Our data suggest that RSV upregulates the NGF-TrKA axis in human airways by silencing miR-221 expression, and this favors viral replication by interfering with the apoptotic death of infected cells. Consequently, the targeted delivery of exogenous miRNAs to the airways may provide a new strategy for future antiviral therapies based on RNA interference.\n\nID: 21698212\nTitle: Targeted delivery of mutant tolerant anti-coxsackievirus artificial microRNAs using folate conjugated bacteriophage Phi29 pRNA.\nAbstract: Myocarditis is the major heart disease in infants and young adults. It is very commonly caused by coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) infection; however, no specific treatment or vaccine is available at present. RNA interference (RNAi)-based anti-viral therapy has shown potential to inhibit viral replication, but this strategy faces two major challenges; viral mutational escape from drug suppression and targeted delivery of the reagents to specific cell populations. In this study, we designed artificial microRNAs (AmiRs) targeting the 3'untranslated region (3'UTR) of CVB3 genome with mismatches to the central region of their targeting sites. Antiviral evaluation showed that AmiR-1 and AmiR-2 reduced CVB3 (Kandolf and CG strains) replication approximately 100-fold in both HeLa cells and HL-1 cardiomyocytes. To achieve specific delivery, we linked AmiRs to the folate-conjugated bacterial phage packaging RNA (pRNA) and delivered the complexes into HeLa cells, a folate receptor positive cancer cells widely used as an in vitro model for CVB3 infection, via folate-mediated specific internalization. We found that our designed pRNA-AmiRs conjugates were tolerable to target mutations and have great potential to suppress viral mutational escape with little effect on triggering interferon induction. This study provides important clues for designing AmiRs targeting the 3'UTR of viral genome. It also proves the feasibility of specific deliver of AmiRs using conjugated pRNA vehicles. These small AmiRs combined with pRNA-folate conjugates could form a promising system for antiviral drug development.\n\nID: 14673108\nTitle: Ebola virus-like particles protect from lethal Ebola virus infection.\nAbstract: The filovirus Ebola causes hemorrhagic fever with 70-80% human mortality. High case-fatality rates, as well as known aerosol infectivity, make Ebola virus a potential global health threat and possible biological warfare agent. Development of an effective vaccine for use in natural outbreaks, response to biological attack, and protection of laboratory workers is a higher national priority than ever before. Coexpression of the Ebola virus glycoprotein (GP) and matrix protein (VP40) in mammalian cells results in spontaneous production and release of virus-like particles (VLPs) that resemble the distinctively filamentous infectious virions. VLPs have been tested and found efficacious as vaccines for several viruses, including papillomavirus, HIV, parvovirus, and rotavirus. Herein, we report that Ebola VLPs (eVLPs) were immunogenic in vitro as eVLPs matured and activated mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells, assessed by increases in cell-surface markers CD40, CD80, CD86, and MHC class I and II and secretion of IL-6, IL-10, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha, and tumor necrosis factor alpha by the dendritic cells. Further, vaccinating mice with eVLPs activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, as well as CD19+ B cells. After vaccination with eVLPs, mice developed high titers of Ebola virus-specific antibodies, including neutralizing antibodies. Importantly, mice vaccinated with eVLPs were 100% protected from an otherwise lethal Ebola virus inoculation. Together, our data suggest that eVLPs represent a promising vaccine candidate for protection against Ebola virus infections and a much needed tool to examine the genesis and nature of immune responses to Ebola virus.\n\nID: 42538939\nTitle: Combination siRNA delivery as a therapeutic strategy for ADPKD.\nAbstract: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic kidney disease worldwide, characterized by progressive cyst growth and inflammation, yet effective targeted therapies remain limited. Here we show that TMEM16A and MCP-1, key mediators of cyst-lining epithelial expansion and inflammatory macrophage recruitment respectively, are consistently upregulated in cyst-lining collecting duct (CD) epithelia across murine, porcine, and human ADPKD models. In human ADPKD patient cells, although individual silencing of TMEM16A or MCP-1 transcripts reduced cyst growth, combined silencing produced superior therapeutic efficacy, establishing the rationale for evaluating dual-target delivery. To achieve dual gene silencing in the kidneys, we delivered Tmem16a and Mcp-1 siRNA using peptide amphiphile micelles (PAMs), an ultrasmall nanoparticle platform that enables efficient renal targeting. To redirect siRNA-loaded PAMs to CD epithelia, we functionalized their surface with a CD-targeting peptide (CDM), which enabled preferential accumulation in cyst-lining CD epithelia. In an inducible Pkd1-deficient mouse model, co-delivery of CDMs loaded with Tmem16a and Mcp-1 siRNA reduced kidney enlargement, cystic burden, tubular injury, and macrophage infiltration, with efficacy exceeding non-targeted siRNA delivery at equivalent doses. CDM demonstrated enhanced uptake in primary human ADPKD patient-derived CD cells and dual gene silencing reduced target gene expression and cyst expansion, establishing translational relevance. These findings establish CD peptide-functionalized micelles as a route to cell-type-selective RNAi in the kidney, delivering siRNA to cyst-lining CD cells. Furthermore, because both targets, TMEM16A and MCP-1, are transcribed within CD cells, our siRNA-loaded CD-targeting micelles silence two drivers of cyst expansion, and their simultaneous suppression represents an effective therapeutic strategy for ADPKD.\n\nID: 42482072\nTitle: Oral delivery of anti-mCD80 nanobody-engineered probiotic bacterial nanovesicles for macrophage-targeted Il17ra silencing in colitis.\nAbstract: Inflammatory bowel disease remains challenging to treat because effective intervention requires localized suppression of mucosal inflammation together with restoration of tissue homeostasis. Here, a hierarchically engineered oral nanotherapeutic is developed based on Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG-derived bacterial nanovesicles (BNVs) for inflammatory macrophage-targeted gene silencing in colitis. The vesicles are genetically engineered to display an anti-mCD80 nanobody, loaded with siIl17ra, and further encapsulated within calcium alginate microcapsules to improve gastrointestinal protection and enable gastrointestinal protection and intestinal-fluid-associated release in the lower gut. The resulting system preserves nanoscale vesicular morphology, exhibits favorable cytocompatibility, and shows enhanced uptake by inflammatory macrophages after nanobody decoration. Following internalization, siIl17ra/CD80-BNVs effectively suppress Il17ra expression and reprogram macrophages toward a pro-repair phenotype. Microcapsule incorporation further improves siRNA retention, restrains premature release under acidic conditions, and promotes sustained release under intestinally relevant pH conditions. After oral administration, MC-siIl17ra/CD80-BNVs display enhanced colorectal retention and markedly alleviate dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis, as evidenced by reduced disease activity, attenuated histopathological injury, enhanced epithelial regeneration, decreased inflammatory mediator expression, and reduced NF-\u03baB/caspase-associated marker changes. This work establishes a microbiota-inspired oral nanomedicine platform for localized immunomodulation and mucosal repair in colitis.\n\nID: 42399921\nTitle: Degradable MMP9-responsive high-density lipoprotein nanoparticles enable efficient siRNA-PGRN and quercetin delivery to remodel the fibrotic microenvironment and attenuate renal fibrosis.\nAbstract: Renal fibrosis is the final common pathway of chronic kidney disease and remains a challenge due to the complex fibrotic and inflammatory microenvironment. This study aimed to develop an enzyme-responsive, fibrosis-targeted nanotherapeutic system capable of simultaneously delivering siRNA against progranulin (siPGRN) and quercetin (QT) to remodel the fibrotic microenvironment and effectively attenuate renal fibrosis. The TIMP-HDL-Nano@siPGRN&QT nanoparticles prepared in this study exhibit uniform nanoscale size (~\u2009100\u00a0nm), high encapsulation efficiency, excellent stability, and favorable biocompatibility. The MMP9-responsive modification significantly enhanced renal accumulation and fibrotic lesion targeting in vivo. Treatment with TIMP-HDL-Nano@siPGRN&QT markedly alleviated UUO-induced renal injury, apoptosis, and fibrosis, outperforming free drug. Transcriptomic and mechanistic analyses revealed that the therapeutic effects were mediated through disruption of the PGRN-PPAR\u03b1 interaction, restoration of PPAR\u03b1 signaling, and subsequent inhibition of NF-\u03baB-driven inflammatory pathways. Furthermore, the nanoparticles suppressed pro-inflammatory M1 macrophage polarization and promoted M2 polarization in a PPAR\u03b1-dependent manner. This study demonstrates that TIMP-HDL-Nano@siPGRN&QT enables efficient, targeted co-delivery of siRNA and small-molecule therapeutics to fibrotic kidneys. By remodeling the fibrotic immune microenvironment through the PGRN-PPAR\u03b1-NF-\u03baB axis, this nanoplatform provides a potent and mechanistically defined strategy for the treatment of renal fibrosis and offers translational potential for other inflammation-driven fibrotic diseases.\n\nID: 42361938\nTitle: Golgi casein kinase-mediated phosphorylation of osteopontin orchestrates macrophage- lung-resident mesenchymal stem cells crosstalk and fibrogenesis: a targetable macromolecular axis.\nAbstract: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) involves aberrant crosstalk between immune cells and mesenchymal compartments. While secreted phosphoproteins are crucial in this process, the upstream kinases regulating their post-translational modifications and biological functions remain poorly understood. Integrating single-cell RNA sequencing and macromolecular interaction analysis, we identified a pro-fibrotic FPR3+ macrophage subset. We utilized co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry to map the interaction between the Golgi kinase Fam20C and its substrate Osteopontin (also known as SPP1). To validate the functional requirement of this kinase in vivo, we employed a Fab'-functionalized macromolecular delivery system to specifically silence Fam20C in macrophages. We demonstrate that Fam20C phosphorylates SPP1, a critical modification that facilitates its secretion and subsequent binding to CD44 receptors on lung-resident mesenchymal stem cells (LR-MSCs). This ligand-receptor interaction inhibits the Hippo pathway, driving LR-MSC differentiation into myofibroblasts. Importantly, specific silencing of Fam20C using the targeted siRNA delivery strategy significantly attenuated fibrotic progression and blocked the macrophage-LR-MSC fibrogenic crosstalk in mouse models. This study reveals the Fam20C-SPP1 phosphorylation axis as a critical macromolecular switch in pulmonary fibrosis. Our findings provide mechanistic insights into immune-stromal communication and highlight Fam20C as a viable target for precision intervention.\n\nID: 42318667\nTitle: A Multifunctional Nucleic Acid Nanomedicine Coregulates Angiogenesis and Fibrosis to Treat Oral Submucous Fibrosis.\nAbstract: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic progressive oral fibrotic disorder characterized by dysregulated immune inflammation, fibroblast activation, and vascular homeostasis disruption, yet synchronously regulating these axes remains challenging. We developed a multifunctional nucleic acid nanomedicine, Apt02-tFNAs-siTGF-\u03b2 (A-T-S), in which tetrahedral framework nucleic acids co-deliver siRNA against TGF-\u03b2 (siTGF-\u03b2) and the proangiogenic aptamer Apt02, enabling programmable integration and stable delivery. A-T-S was efficiently internalized by macrophages, human oral mucosal fibroblasts, and endothelial cells and concurrently modulated inflammatory phenotypes, fibrotic programs, and angiogenesis-related features in vitro. Transcriptomic profiling revealed coordinated reprogramming of pathways involved in inflammation, fibrosis, and extracellular matrix remodeling. In a rat OSF model, A-T-S reduced collagen deposition and profibrotic signaling while mitigating inflammatory infiltration and vascular abnormalities, without evident toxicity in major organs. These findings indicate that A-T-S can synergistically remodel the OSF lesion microenvironment and represents a promising strategy for OSF and other fibroinflammatory diseases.\n\nID: 42315362\nTitle: Engineered Bacillus subtilis to deliver dsRNA via extracellular vesicles against the H9N2 avian influenza virus.\nAbstract: RNA interference (RNAi) is a potent antiviral approach, outperforming traditional pesticides and broad-spectrum drugs. Its use in animal disease control faces two challenges: inefficient target design relying on computer-predicted small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) rather than virus-derived siRNAs (vsiRNAs), and the lack of cost-effective siRNA delivery systems. In this study, we address both limitations by engineering a probiotic Bacillus subtilis 168 strain, called the recombinant\u00a0B. subtilis\u00a0AAD (Anti-AIV-DsRNA, targeted AIV), that constitutively expresses vsiRNA-enriched dsRNA targeting the H9N2 avian influenza virus. Oral administration of AAD leads to the release of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-loaded extracellular vesicles (EVs), which efficiently reduce H9N2 viral loads and mitigate pathological lesions. Mechanistically, virus-derived dsRNA is processed by the enzyme Dicer into siRNAs, which then activate RNAi and interferon signaling, resulting in approximately a 70% reduction in viral burden. Overall, these findings demonstrate that integrating the probiotic properties of B. subtilis with EV-mediated dsRNA delivery constitutes a sustainable, effective, and residue-free antiviral strategy for animal disease.\n\nID: 42261195\nTitle: Carbon nanotubes as gene delivery vectors: navigating endosomal escape and intracellular fate.\nAbstract: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have emerged as non-viral gene delivery vectors, due to their physicochemical properties, high surface area, anisotropic needlelike geometry, tunable surface chemistry, and unique optical and thermal characteristics. This review synthesizes mechanistic understanding of CNT-mediated gene delivery: cellular uptake, receptor-mediated targeting through surface functionalization, and the challenge of endosomal escape. Understanding how CNTs enter cells, behave intracellularly, and what determines functional therapeutic outcomes is essential for advancing their clinical development. We detail four primary endosomal escape mechanisms: direct cell membrane translocation through intrinsic needlelike property or with cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) facilitation, the proton sponge effect from polyamine coatings, and photothermal/photochemical internalization. We also compare their efficiency against lipid nanoparticle (LNP) and polymeric vector. We further examine CNT's intracellular fate, covering protein corona formation, complement pathway activation and its immune consequences, macrophage recognition, and biodegradation. Intracellular fate trajectories are linked to measurable functional outcomes. Lysosomal sequestration governs their silencing potency, tumor tissue pharmacokinetics determine knockdown duration, and CNS biopersistence coincides with sustained microglial activation. An immunotoxicological evaluation framework adapted from established NCL and regulatory guidelines (ISO/TS 10993-20, ISO/TR 10993-22, ICH S8) is outlined, encompassing complement split product quantification, PBMC cytokine profiling, inflammasome activation assays, and in vivo immunophenotyping. Translational obstacles remain. Including biopersistence, unpredictable protein corona composition, cytotoxicity, and the absence of standardized manufacturing and characterization protocols. Emerging stimuli-responsive hybrid nanostructures and AI-assisted design offer promising pathways forward, contingent on coordinated progress in reproducible manufacturing, longitudinal fate monitoring, and rigorous immunotoxicological assessment.\n\nID: 42216305\nTitle: Structure-Guided Engineering of Histidine-Rich pH-Switchable Endosomolytic Peptides for Spleen-Selective siRNA Delivery to Inflammatory Macrophages.\nAbstract: Extrahepatic delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) remains a major translational challenge because most nanocarriers preferentially accumulate in the liver, while endosomal sequestration limits productive cytosolic release. Inflammatory macrophages in the spleen are attractive therapeutic targets in systemic inflammation, yet spleen-selective delivery systems with efficient endosomal escape remain underdeveloped. Here, a structure-guided peptide engineering workflow was used to generate histidine-rich, pH-switchable endosomolytic peptides for spleen-selective siRNA delivery. Sequence design integrated pH-dependent charge transition modeling, amphipathic helix prediction, membrane interaction scoring, and safety filtering. Six candidate peptides were synthesized and evaluated for pH-responsive structure, membrane disruption, hemocompatibility, siRNA complexation, serum stability, macrophage uptake, endosomal escape, biodistribution, and anti-inflammatory efficacy. The lead peptide, HSEP-6, showed a predicted net charge increase from +3.1 at pH\u20097.4 to +7.4 at pH\u20095.5, helix content increasing from 17% to 56%, and acidic calcein release increasing from 9% to 62%. In inflammatory macrophages and LPS-challenged mice, HSEP-6 enabled efficient siRNA delivery, spleen-selective accumulation, marked Irf5 silencing, reduced TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6, and no measurable systemic toxicity, supporting histidine-rich pH-switchable peptides as a rational platform for extrahepatic RNA delivery.\n\nID: 42181269\nTitle: The Trojan Horse system composed of platelet membrane and extracellular vesicles inhibits atherosclerotic plaque progression.\nAbstract: Carotid atherosclerotic plaques are a leading cause of ischemic stroke and present a major challenge for early atherosclerosis intervention. Here we engineer a biomimetic delivery platform, such as the Trojan Horse system, composed of platelet membrane and extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from M2-like macrophages. The resulting vesicles, called platelet-extracellular vesicles (P-EVs), selectively accumulate at injured endothelium and atherosclerotic plaques and enable the co-delivery of PIM1 siRNA and Max-40279. This strategy suppresses endothelial-mesenchymal transition, reduces macrophage foam cell formation, and attenuates inflammatory responses in lesions. In mouse models of atherosclerosis, treatment with P-EVs significantly limits plaque progression. These results establish P-EVs as a targeted approach for modulating vascular inflammation and provide a potential strategy for slowing atherosclerotic plaque development.\n\nID: 41873341\nTitle: Profiling of extracellular vesicle-associated microRNAs reveals a regulated response to potato virus Y infection in tomato.\nAbstract: Plant extracellular vesicles (EVs) serve as critical mediators of intercellular communication during plant-pathogen interactions, particularly through their cargo of regulatory small RNAs, enabling the transport of miRNAs to distant tissues during biotic stress. Potato virus Y (PVY), one of the most economically damaging plant viruses globally, poses significant threats to solanaceous crop production. However, the landscape of EV-associated miRNAs and their regulatory roles in PVY infection remain largely unexplored. In this study, we isolated and characterized EV-associated particles from the apoplastic fluid of both PVY-infected and healthy tomato leaves using differential ultracentrifugation, followed by transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle size analysis, and western blotting. High-throughput small RNA sequencing revealed 96 significantly differentially expressed miRNAs in EV-associated particles upon viral challenge. Bioinformatic prediction revealed that 80% of these dysregulated miRNAs potentially target multiple genes. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses demonstrated significant overrepresentation of predicted target genes in pathways associated with transcription, ta-siRNA biogenesis involved in RNA interference, protein binding, RNAi-mediated antiviral immune response, oxidative phosphorylation, mRNA surveillance pathway, and eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis. Our findings demonstrate that PVY infection selectively modulates the miRNA composition within tomato EV-associated particles. These EV-associated particles delivered miRNAs may contribute to a sophisticated antiviral defense mechanism by co-regulating host immunity. This study provides novel insights into the role of EV-associated particles mediated RNA communication in plant immunity and lays a theoretical foundation for developing innovative miRNA- and EV-based antiviral strategies for crop protection.\n\nID: 41776767\nTitle: Reprogramming Lesional Macrophage Homeostasis via Interferon Regulatory Factor 5 Targeted siRNA Nanoimmunotherapy for Atherosclerosis.\nAbstract: Atherosclerotic macrophages predominantly exhibit a pro-inflammatory phenotype, driving chronic inflammatory and accelerating atherosclerotic progression. Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) is highly expressed in lesional macrophages within advanced atherosclerotic plaques, where it promotes the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, current approaches lack an effective therapeutic strategy to specifically silence this gene in lesional macrophages for atherosclerosis treatment. This study aims to develop and evaluate a dual-targeted, siRNA-based nanotherapeutic platform that selectively acts on atherosclerosis-promoting genes in plaque macrophages, offering a potential strategy for treating atherosclerosis by reprogramming lesional macrophages. Here we designed and developed dual-targeted liposome-based nano-immunotherapeutics encapsulating small interfering RNA (siRNA) against IRF5 (siIRF5) to reprogram macrophage phenotypes within advanced plaques. In high-fat diet-fed ApoE-/- mice with advanced atherosclerotic plaques, dual-targeted siIRF5-loaded liposomes effectively accumulate within lesional macrophages, downregulate IRF5 expression, and promote anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization. Moreover, this siIRF5-based nanoimmunotherapy significantly reduces plaque burden and enhances plaque stability in two independent murine models of atherosclerosis. Furthermore, this siIRF5 nanoimmunotherapy exhibits biocompatibility even after long-term administration, underscoring its translational potential for clinical application in atherosclerosis treatment. This study introduces an innovative dual-targeted siRNA-based nanotherapeutic strategy that acts on atherosclerosis-promoting genes in plaque macrophages, offering a promising therapeutic avenue for atherosclerosis and other macrophage-driven inflammatory diseases.\n\nID: 41774227\nTitle: M2pep-modified liposomal nanoparticles delivering siITGB4 induce apoptosis and inhibit NSCLC metastasis via macrophage reprogramming.\nAbstract: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) metastasis, driven by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), remains a significant challenge due to poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. This study developed DSPE-PEG-M2pep-modified liposomal nanoparticles (M2pep-LNP@siITGB4) delivering siRNA targeting integrin \u03b24 (siITGB4) to reprogram M2 TAMs and induce apoptosis in NSCLC cells, thereby inhibiting metastasis. Cationic liposomes were prepared using thin-film hydration and ultrasonic emulsification, with M2pep peptides enhancing targeted delivery to M2 macrophages. In vitro, THP-1-derived M2 macrophages were co-cultured with A549 and NCI-H1299 cells, and the effects on macrophage polarization and tumor cell behavior were assessed via RT-qPCR, Western blot, and Transwell assays. In vivo, A549 xenograft and lung metastasis models were analyzed using IVIS, flow cytometry, and RNA sequencing. M2pep-LNP@siITGB4 downregulated M2 markers (CD206, Arg1, IL-10), upregulated M1 markers (CD86, iNOS), and increased CD8\u2009+\u2009T cell infiltration. Silencing ITGB4 reduced GNB5 expression and FAK/Src/AKT phosphorylation, promoting apoptosis and inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). RNA-seq revealed 3494 differentially expressed genes, with suppressed ECM-receptor interactions. Tumor volumes and metastatic lesions were significantly reduced. This approach effectively reprograms TAMs, induces tumor cell apoptosis, and suppresses NSCLC metastasis, offering a novel nanomedicine-based strategy for enhancing anti-tumor immunity and improving therapeutic outcomes in NSCLC.\n\nID: 41729255\nTitle: Immunomodulatory strategies and targeted delivery systems in atherosclerosis therapy.\nAbstract: Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease where lipid-lowering therapy alone leaves 30-40% residual cardiovascular risk, underscoring the need for immunomodulatory interventions. This review synthesizes literature (1990-2024) on AS immunopathology and targeted nanomedicine. Key mechanisms include dysregulated macrophage polarization (M1/M2 imbalance), Th1/Treg dysfunction, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and NETosis. Immunomodulatory strategies are shifting from broad immunosuppression toward subset-specific precision intervention - targeting mitochondrial fission (DRP1), ANGPTL3, or epigenetic regulators (SET7). Concurrently, nanodelivery systems have evolved from single-ligand targeting to smart, biomimetic platforms (e.g. VLA-4/VCAM-1 dual-targeting, ROS-responsive release) that enhance spatiotemporal precision. Emerging frontiers include immunometabolic crosstalk (cholesterol crystals activating cGAS-STING) and interventions disrupting immune cell communication (LNP-delivered NLRP3 siRNA, PAD4 inhibitors). Major challenges persist - suboptimal plaque penetration, hepatic nanocarrier accumulation, and risks of systemic immunosuppression. Future breakthroughs require dual-modal platforms integrating immunomodulation with metabolic reprogramming, and multi-omics-guided personalized systems that leverage spatial transcriptomics to tailor delivery to patient-specific inflammatory niches. Bridging the gap between mechanistic elegance and clinical efficacy demands humanized models and flexible trial designs.\n\nID: 41358425\nTitle: Biomimetic Bimetallic-Polyphenol Network as a Novel siRNA Carrier for the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis via Macrophage Repolarization.\nAbstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an auto-immune disease characterized by inflammatory episodes and joint degradation. Activated macrophages produce large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pro-inflammatory cytokines, which damage chondrocytes and destroy the cartilage matrix. Therefore, a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of RA is to inhibit the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and ROS to promote macrophage polarization and facilitate cartilage repair. In this paper, an active targeting nanomedicine based on metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) is constructed to re-polarize activated macrophages for RA therapy. Sr2+ and Cu2+ are first coordinated with tannic acid (TA) to prepare TSC, and TNF-\u03b1 siRNA is loaded into TSC via simple ultrasonic treatment to obtain TSSC. Finally, TSSC is coated with M1 macrophage membrane (termed as TSSC@M1) to enhance its inflammatory targeting ability. TSSC@M1 can actively target macrophages by releasing TA, Cu2+, and TNF-\u03b1 siRNA to synergistically scavenge ROS and inhibit the expression of TNF-\u03b1 to induce macrophage polarization, while Sr2+ can further protect cartilage. In the collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse model, TSSC@M1 can accumulate at inflamed joints and alleviate RA symptoms by modulating macrophage phenotype and repairing cartilage. Overall, TSSC@M1 NPs offer a promising and safe approach to treat RA.\n\nID: 41278608\nTitle: Advances in cardiovascular gene therapy: a systematic review of nanoparticle-based delivery strategies for atherosclerosis.\nAbstract: Atherosclerosis (AS), the primary cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, involves chronic vascular inflammation and plaque formation. While conventional therapies target systemic risk factors, their limited plaque-specific effects and adverse profiles have driven the exploration of targeted delivery systems. Nanoparticle-mediated delivery of nucleic acid therapies offers a promising strategy to modulate inflammation and promote plaque regression at the molecular level. This study aimed to systematically evaluate recent preclinical evidence on the effectiveness of functionalized nanoparticles for delivering nucleic acid-based therapies to atherosclerotic plaques. This systematic review, conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, evaluated preclinical studies published between 2018 and 2024 that utilized nanoparticles to deliver siRNA, miRNA inhibitors, or antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to atherosclerotic plaques. Data extraction included nanoparticle type, targeting ligands, size, loading efficiency, administration route, and therapeutic outcomes. Comparative figures were generated, including a bar chart of plaque reduction efficacy by nanoparticle type and a qualitative heatmap mapping functionalization strategies to molecular targets. Fifteen animal studies met the inclusion criteria. Nanoparticles varied in size (5-190 nm), composition (cyclodextrin, gold, polymeric, lipid-based), and targeting mechanisms (e.g., VCAM1, CD36, integrin ligands). High efficacy was reported for functionalized carriers targeting macrophages or inflammatory pathways, with plaque reductions up to 65.8%. Visual analyses highlighted cyclodextrin-integrin and rHDL-based systems as top-performing strategies, while a heatmap revealed preferred pairings of delivery ligands with nucleic acid targets. Functionalized nanoparticles demonstrate robust preclinical efficacy for delivering nucleic acids to atherosclerotic plaques. These findings support their potential for targeted, multimodal therapy in cardiovascular disease, warranting further clinical investigation into scalable, biocompatible delivery platforms.\n\nID: 41159271\nTitle: IRF5 siRNA Nanoimmunotherapy: Restoring Macrophage Efferocytosis in Atherosclerosis.\nAbstract: Impaired efferocytosis of macrophages within advanced atherosclerotic plaques leads to plaque deposition and rupture, ultimately resulting in atherothrombotic events. Effective restoration of efferocytic capacity in lesional macrophages remains a challenge in atherosclerosis treatment. We developed an engineered small interfering RNA (siRNA) nanoparticle platform that can therapeutically manipulate lesional macrophages by inhibiting an overexpressed plaque-destabilizing macrophage molecule: IRF5. IRF5 siRNA (siIRF5) nanoimmunotherapeutics were efficiently taken up by lesional macrophages, particularly Cd11c+ and Trem2hi macrophages, and enhanced their phagocytic clearance of apoptotic cells by efficiently silencing IRF5 expression within these macrophage subsets in atherosclerotic plaques. This resulted in remarkable therapeutic efficacy, as evidenced by reduction of necrotic core area and enhancement of plaque stability in 2 independent ApoE-/- murine models of atherosclerosis. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis revealed that siIRF5 nanoimmunotherapeutics increased the proefferocytic receptors while decreasing the expression of proinflammatory genes associated with cytokine and chemokine pathways in lesional macrophages. These findings highlight the potential of siRNA nanoimmunotherapeutics for treating atherosclerosis and other diseases resulting from impaired efferocytosis in macrophages.\n\nID: 41146666\nTitle: Targeted biomimetic fusogenic liposome enhances tumor accumulation, penetration, and therapeutic efficacy of siRNA therapeutics.\nAbstract: Blocking the CD47-SIRP\u03b1 signaling pathway to promote macrophage phagocytosis represents a promising strategy for cancer therapy. RNA interference offers a safe and efficient means to disrupt this pathway, highlighting the importance of developing effective siRNA delivery systems to improve antitumor efficacy. In this study, we developed a biomimetic and fusogenic liposome capable of deep tumor penetration and selective tumor cell targeting for the coordinated cytosolic delivery of CD47 and PLK1-targeting siRNAs. CD47 siRNA downregulated CD47 protein expression, suppressing the \"don't eat me\" signal, while PLK1 siRNA induced tumor cell apoptosis and enhanced the \"eat-me\" signal by facilitating the translocation of calreticulin to the cell surface. This biomimetic platform enabled efficient tumor cell specific cytosolic delivery and deep tissue penetration of siRNAs. The combined silencing strategy significantly enhanced macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of tumor cells and improved antitumor outcomes in a 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model. Overall, this study presents a biomimetic fusogenic liposomal system that amplifies macrophage phagocytosis and suppresses tumor growth, providing a promising therapeutic avenue for triple-negative breast cancer.\n\nID: 40965079\nTitle: Natural Killer Cell-Mimicking Hypoxia-Responsive Nanomedicines for Tumor-Specific Suppression and Immune Regulation.\nAbstract: Natural killer (NK) cells, as critical effectors of the innate immune system, can directly recognize and kill tumor cells without prior antigen priming. However, NK cell activity is hindered by hypoxia and immunosuppressive factors in the tumor microenvironment. Herein, NK cell membrane (NKCM)-camouflaged hypoxia-responsive nanoparticles (HSF@NK) are developed to co-deliver ferrocene (Fc) and carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) siRNA for an NK cell-mimicking anticancer strategy, enhancing tumor-specific cytotoxicity and reversing the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. HSF@NK achieves tumor targeting and immune evasion by retaining NKCM proteins. Hypoxic tumor microenvironment triggers the release of Fc and CAIX siRNA, decreasing the intracellular pH by downregulating CAIX to accelerate Fc-involved Fenton reaction, and amplifies oxidative damage in tumor cells, while remaining non-cytotoxic to normal cells in vitro. The resulting oxidative stress elicited immunogenic cell death, dendritic cells maturation, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte infiltration, while NKCM proteins promoted M1 macrophage polarization. HSF@NK significantly inhibited tumor growth (\u224885.0%) in B16F10 murine tumor models. When combined with anti-PD-L1, HSF@NK further enhanced tumor suppression (\u224892.4%) and established long-term immunity in 4T1 tumor models. This approach offers a paradigm shift in the design of NK cell-inspired nanomedicines and paves the way for reliable strategies for solid tumor therapy.\n\nID: 40913527\nTitle: Strategic Timing of Gene Silencing: Cellular Kinetics-Based Administration of siRNA for Optimized Photothermal Cancer Treatment.\nAbstract: Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) represents a critical barrier to effective mild-temperature photothermal therapy (MPTT), limiting its clinical utility in aggressive cancers like triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). While small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated HSP70 suppression offers a promising solution, optimal timing for this therapeutic combination remains unexplored. Here, it is demonstrated that precisely timed administration significantly enhances MPTT efficacy through systematic temporal characterization of HSP70 expression dynamics. A three-component temperature-sensitive hybrid nanocarrier (I-sR@MLNP) is developed that integrates: 1) indocyanine green dimer (ICG-II) with exceptional photothermal conversion efficiency (PTCE, 95.4%); 2) macrophage membrane-derived lipid nanoparticles for active TNBC targeting through integrin \u03b14/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) axis; and 3) HSP70-targeting siRNA to overcome thermo-resistance. This multifunctional platform enables spatiotemporally controlled co-delivery and photo-triggered release of both therapeutic agents. Through comprehensive profiling of post-release HSP70 mRNA and protein kinetics, a critical therapeutic window is identified at 36\u00a0h post-initial treatment when siRNA-mediated suppression maximally sensitized cancer cells to subsequent thermal stress. In mouse TNBC models, this temporally optimized two-phase MPTT approach achieves superior tumor reduction compared to conventional single-treatment (+87%) or non-optimized protocols (+43%). The findings establish a novel time modulated framework for enhancing nanomedicine efficacy by aligning treatment scheduling with underlying molecular kinetics-a strategy with potential applications across various siRNA-based cancer therapies where timing of intervention may significantly impact therapeutic outcomes.\n\nID: 40812552\nTitle: Pre-silencing of TNF-\u03b1 by targeted siRNA delivery mitigates glucocorticoid resistance of dexamethasone in rheumatoid arthritis.\nAbstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, progressive inflammatory autoimmune disease marked by relentless synovial inflammation and joint destruction, for which long-term remission remains challenging. Although dexamethasone (DEX) is commonly employed to rapidly control disease activity, its therapeutic effectiveness is often undermined by the development of glucocorticoid resistance (GCR) and cumulative systemic toxicities. Recent insights suggest that TNF-\u03b1-driven inflammation not only perpetuates joint pathology but also sustains a molecular landscape that favors GCR, underscoring an urgent need for therapeutic strategies that jointly target inflammatory signaling and steroid sensitivity. Here, we report a nanomedicine-enabled sequential therapy, in which TNF-\u03b1 specific siRNA (siTNF\u03b1) and DEX are separately encapsulated within macrophage-targeted polymersomes (MTP-T and MTP-D, respectively). Through intravenous administration of MTP-T, followed by the intraperitoneal delivery of MTP-D (designated as MTP-T/D(seq)), this sequential therapy acheives efficient knockdown of TNF-\u03b1 in inflammatory macrophages, leading to enhanced expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR), an elevated GR\u03b1/GR\u03b2 ratio, and a substantial reversal of GCR. This modulation sensitizes macrophages to DEX, enabling rapid and effective suppression of pro-inflammatory mediators while reducing toxicity. Our findings demonstrate that our sequential therapy in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse models not only mitigates joint inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction but also normalizes the M2/M1 macrophage balance, attenuating synovial hyperplasia and cartilage damage as confirmed by molecular and histological analyses. These findings validate a precision-engineered immune microenvironment remodeling strategy that restores glucocorticoid responsiveness and confers potent therapeutic benefits, offering a compelling blueprint for overcoming steroid resistance in RA.\n\nID: 40297405\nTitle: ROS-Responsive Biomimetic Nanocomplexes of Liposomes and Macrophage-Derived Exosomes for Combination Breast Cancer Therapy.\nAbstract: Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women globally and it poses a major threat to women's lives and health. As an essential therapeutic approach for breast cancer, chemotherapy encounters various clinical challenges like multidrug resistance and systemic toxicity. Nanotechnology has shown progress in addressing chemotherapy drug limitations. However, externally introduced nanoparticles are typically captured by the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) post-administration. To mitigate chemotherapy drug toxicity and enhance drug delivery efficiency, we combined ROS-responsive cationic liposomes (cLip) with macrophage-derived exosomes to create biomimetic nanocomplex (E-cLip-DTX/si) for co-delivery docetaxel (DTX) and Bcl-2 siRNA. We encapsulated docetaxel (DTX) and Bcl-2 siRNA as model drugs into biomimetic nanocomplexes and validated their antitumor efficacy in vitro and in vivo. In vitro and vivo tests show that E-cLip-DTX/si can react to ROS, promote apoptosis of tumor cells effectively, and prolong circulation time. In breast cancer mouse model, E-cLip-DTX/si displays notable tumor accumulation efficiency, remarkable anti-tumor effects, and a favorable safety profile. We have developed a ROS-responsive biomimetic nanocomplexes that efficiently delivers DTX and Bcl-2 siRNA into the tumor site, overcoming the MPS barrier and extending the blood circulation time of the drug. Hence, biomimetic nanocomplex is a promising drug delivery platform with controlled drug release and biocompatibility for effective anti-tumor treatment.\n\nID: 40109366\nTitle: Red Blood Cell Membrane Vesicles for siRNA Delivery: A Biocompatible Carrier With Passive Tumor Targeting and Prolonged Plasma Residency.\nAbstract: Despite many advances in gene therapy, the delivery of small interfering RNAs is still challenging. Erythrocytes are the most abundant cells in the human body, and their membrane possesses unique features. From them, erythrocytes membrane vesicles can be generated, employable as nano drug delivery system with prolonged blood residence and high biocompatibility. Human erythrocyte ghosts were extruded in the presence of siRNA, and the objects were termed EMVs (erythrocyte membrane vesicles). An ultracentrifugation-based method was applied to select only the densest EMVs, ie, those containing siRNA. We evaluated their activity in vitro in B16F10 cells expressing fluorescent tdTomato and in vivo in B16F10 tumor-bearing mice after a single injection. The EMVs had a negative zeta potential, a particle size of 170 nm and excellent colloidal stability after one month of storage. With 0.3 nM siRNA, more than 75% gene knockdown was achieved in vitro, and 80% was achieved in vivo, at 2 days PI at 2.5 mg/kg. EMVs mostly accumulate around blood vessels in the lungs, brain and tumor. tdTomato fluorescence steadily decreased in tumor areas with higher EMVs concentration, which indicates efficient gene knockdown. Approximately 2% of the initial dose of EMVs was still present in the plasma after 2 days. The entire production process of the purified siRNA-EMVs took approximately 4\u00a0hours. The erythrocyte marker CD47 offered protection against macrophage recognition in the spleen and in the blood. The excellent biocompatibility and pharmacokinetic properties of these materials make them promising platforms for future improvements, ie, active targeting and codelivery with conventional chemotherapeutics.\n\nID: 39629104\nTitle: T Lymphocyte-Macrophage Hybrid Membrane-Coated Biomimetic Nanoparticles Alleviate Myocarditis via Suppressing Pyroptosis by Targeting Gene Silencing.\nAbstract: Nanomedicine coated with cell membranes has attracted increasing attention for its enhanced targeting capability and biocompatibility. Based on previous research, we identified interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1)-mediated macrophage pyroptosis as a potential therapeutic target for myocarditis. Herein, we fabricated an innovative immune cell membrane-coated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nano-delivery platform and explored its effects on myocarditis. ZIF-8 nanoparticles loaded with siRNA targeting IRF1 (siIRF1) were coated with a T lymphocyte-macrophage hybrid membrane (siIRF1@ZIF@HM NPs) via sonication and extrusion. The morphological and biological characteristics of the nanoparticles were evaluated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Cellular cytotoxicity was assessed by a cell counting kit-8 assay. Cellular uptake and endo-lysosomal escape in M1-differentiated macrophages were visualized via fluorescence microscopy. The targeting specificity and anti-myocarditis effects were evaluated in an experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) mouse model. The anti-pyroptosis effects were assessed by Western blot analysis both in vivo and in vitro. Transcriptional sequencing identified T lymphocytes and macrophages as suitable membrane sources. The ZIF-8 nanoparticles exhibited high siRNA loading capacity and pH responsiveness, enabling an efficient release of siIRF1 from endo-lysosomes to the cytoplasm in macrophages. The hybrid membrane coating enabled specific targeting of M1 macrophages both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, delivery of siIRF1 effectively suppressed IRF1 expression and inhibited pyroptosis in IFN-\u03b3-stimulated macrophages. Intravenous injection of siIRF1@ZIF@HM NPs significantly alleviated myocarditis progression without evident side effects. The siIRF1 nanotherapeutic approach shows potential for attenuating myocardial inflammation and mitigating myocarditis progression. Our study highlights the promise of this customized biomimetic nano-delivery system for treating inflammatory diseases.\n\nID: 39454114\nTitle: Gene Therapy for Inflammatory Cascade in Intrauterine Injury with Engineered Extracellular Vesicles Hybrid Snail Mucus-enhanced Adhesive Hydrogels.\nAbstract: Early hyper-inflammation caused by intrauterine injury triggered subsequent intrauterine adhesion (IUA). STAT1-mediated M1 macrophages are confirmed to secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines to accelerate inflammatory cascade and IUA formation by multi-omics analysis and experimental verification. However, clinically used hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels are prone to slip out of injury sites due to poor bio-adhesion properties. Therefore, there are still challenges in applying hydrogels for M1 macrophage intervention in IUA treatment. Herein, an engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs) hybrid snail mucus (SM)-enhanced adhesive hydrogels to improve bio-adhesion property is fabricated and M1 macrophage intervention through targeting delivery and STAT1 silencing is achieved. First, inspired by the high bio-adhesion capacity of SM, SM and gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) solution are mixed to construct GelMA/SM (GS) hydrogel. Then, folic acid-modified extracellular vesicles (FA-EVs) are synthesized for targeting the delivery of STAT1-siRNA. Upon injection of FA-EVs hybrid GS hydrogel into the uterine cavity, a protective hydrogel layer forms on the surface of injury sites and sustains the release of STAT1-siRNA-loaded FA-EVs to curtail M1 macrophages generation through inhibiting STAT1 phosphorylation, resulting in reduction of myofibroblasts activation and collagen deposition. In addition, the pregnancy rate and the number of fetuses in rats treated with this hydrogel were much higher than those in other groups, suggesting that the hydrogel could promote functional endometrial regeneration and restore fertility. Overall, this study presents a promising strategy for employing FA-EVs hybrid adhesive hydrogel with superior bio-adhesion properties and M1 macrophage targeting delivery for IUA treatment and uterus recovery.\n\nID: 39303016\nTitle: Functional Ginger-Derived Extracellular Vesicles-Coated ZIF-8 Containing TNF-\u03b1 siRNA for Ulcerative Colitis Therapy by Modulating Gut Microbiota.\nAbstract: Tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) plays a causal role in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC), and anti-TNF-\u03b1 siRNA shows great promise in UC therapy. However, delivering siRNA with site-targeted stability and therapeutic efficacy is still challenging due to the complex and dynamic intestinal microenvironment. Here, based on the functional plant-derived ginger extracellular vesicles (EVs) and porous ZIF-8 nanoparticles, we propose a novel TNF-\u03b1 siRNA delivery strategy (EVs@ZIF-8@siRNA) for UC targeted therapy. Ginger EVs show strong colon and macrophage targeting, as well as robust resistance to acidic degradation in the stomach. Moreover, 6-shogaol in ginger-derived EVs displays anti-inflammatory effects, which enhance the treatment efficiency by cooperation with TNF-\u03b1 siRNA. In vitro experiments reveal that ZIF-8 nanoparticles have high TNF-\u03b1 siRNA loading capacity and promote siRNA escape from cellular lysosomes. In vivo experiments show that the TNF-\u03b1 level is reduced more significantly in colonic tissue than other nontargeted inflammation related factors, showing a good targeting of this composite nanoparticle. Furthermore, gut microbiota sequencing results demonstrate that the nanoparticles can promote intestinal barrier repair by regulating the intestinal microbial balance and restoring the intestinal health of UC mice. Therefore, the developed EVs@ZIF-8@siRNA nanoparticles may represent a novel colon-targeted oral drug, providing a promising therapeutic strategy for UC therapy.\n\nID: 39141682\nTitle: Reactive Oxygen Species-Responsive Nanoparticle Delivery of Small Interfering Ribonucleic Acid Targeting Olfactory Receptor 2 for Atherosclerosis Theranostics.\nAbstract: Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by arterial intimal lipid plaques. Small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA)-based therapies, with their ability to suppress specific genes with high targeting precision and minimal side effects, have shown great potential for AS treatment. However, targets of siRNA therapies based on macrophages for AS treatment are still limited. Olfactory receptor 2 (Olfr2), a potential target for plaque formation, was discovered recently. Herein, anti-Olfr2 siRNA (si-Olfr2) targeting macrophages was designed, and the theranostic platform encapsulating si-Olfr2 to target macrophages within atherosclerotic lesions was also developed, with the aim of downregulating Olfr2, as well as diagnosing AS through photoacoustic imaging (PAI) in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window with high resolution. By utilization of a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive nanocarrier system, the expression of Olfr2 on macrophages within atherosclerotic plaques was effectively downregulated, leading to the inhibition of NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation and interleukin-1 \u03b2 (IL-1\u03b2) secretion, thereby reducing the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. As manifested by decreased Olfr2 expression, the lesions exhibited a significantly alleviated inflammatory response that led to reduced lipid deposition, macrophage apoptosis, and a noticeable decrease in the necrotic areas. This study provides a proof of concept for evaluating the theranostic nanoplatform to specifically deliver si-Olfr2 to lesional macrophages for AS diagnosis and treatment.\n\nID: 39118143\nTitle: Tea polyphenol nanoparticles enable targeted siRNA delivery and multi-bioactive therapy for abdominal aortic aneurysms.\nAbstract: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening vascular disease, while there is a lack of pharmaceutical interventions to halt AAA progression presently. To address the multifaceted pathology of AAA, this work develops a novel multifunctional gene delivery system to simultaneously deliver two siRNAs targeting MMP-2 and MMP-9. The system (TPNs-siRNA), formed through the oxidative polymerization and self-assembly of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), efficiently encapsulates siRNAs during self-assembly. TPNs-siRNA safeguards siRNAs from biological degradation, facilitates intracellular siRNA transfection, promotes lysosomal escape, and releases siRNAs to silence MMP-2 and MMP-9. Additionally, TPNs, serving as a multi-bioactive material, mitigates oxidative stress and inflammation, fosters M1-to-M2 repolarization of macrophages, and inhibits cell calcification and apoptosis. In experiments with AAA mice, TPNs-siRNA accumulated and persisted in aneurysmal tissue after intravenous delivery, demonstrating that TPNs-siRNA can be significantly distributed in macrophages and VSMCs relevant to AAA pathogenesis. Leveraging the carrier's intrinsic multi-bioactive properties, the targeted siRNA delivery by TPNs exhibits a synergistic effect for enhanced AAA therapy. Furthermore, TPNs-siRNA is gradually metabolized and excreted from the body, resulting in excellent biocompatibility. Consequently, TPNs emerges as a promising multi-bioactive nanotherapy and a targeted delivery nanocarrier for effective AAA therapy.\n\nID: 39081086\nTitle: Pyroptotic-Spatiotemporally Selective Delivery of siRNA against Pyroptosis and Autoimmune Diseases.\nAbstract: Small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) offer promising prospects for treating pyroptosis-related autoimmune diseases. However, poor stability and off-target effects during in vivo transportation hinder their practical clinical applications. Precision delivery and adaptive release of siRNAs into inflamed tissues and immune cells could unleash their full therapeutic potential. This study establishes a pyroptotic-spatiotemporally selective siRNA delivery system (PMRC@siGSDME) that selectively targets inflammatory tissues, responds to pyroptosis, and exhibits remarkable therapeutic efficacy against various autoimmune diseases. Novel hybrid nanovesicles (NVs) are designed as a combination of pyroptotic macrophage membranes (PMs) and R8-cardiolipin-containing nanovesicles (RC-NVs). Evidence provides that PM-derived proteins involved in cell-cell interactions and membrane trafficking may contribute to the specificity of NVs to inflammatory tissue. In addition, cardiolipin anchored in the hybrid NVs increases its affinity for activated gasdermin E (GSDME) and achieves pyroptosis-adaptive release of siGSDME for the spatiotemporally selective suppression of immune responses. More importantly, PMRC@siGSDME displays significant anti-inflammatory and therapeutic effects in multiple mouse autoimmune disease models, including arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Collectively, an innovative siRNA delivery strategy precisely tailored for pyroptotic cells has been developed, paving the way for new treatments for autoimmune inflammatory diseases with minimal side effects and wide clinical applicability.\n\nID: 38993513\nTitle: TIMP-1 Promotes Expression of MCP-1 and Macrophage Migration by Inducing Fli-1 in Experimental Liver Fibrosis.\nAbstract: Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) plays a role in the excessive generation of extracellular matrix in liver fibrosis. This study aimed to explore the pathways through which TIMP-1 controls monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) expression and promotes hepatic macrophage recruitment. Liver fibrosis was triggered through carbon tetrachloride, and an adeno-associated virus containing small interfering RNA targeting TIMP-1 (siRNA-TIMP-1) was administered to both rats and mice. We assessed the extent of fibrosis and macrophage recruitment. The molecular mechanisms regulating macrophage recruitment by TIMP-1 were investigated through transwell migration assays, luciferase reporter assays, the use of pharmacological modulators, and an analysis of extracellular vesicles (EVs). siRNA-TIMP-1 alleviated carbon tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis, reducing macrophage migration and MCP-1 expression. Co-culturing macrophages with hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) post-TIMP-1 downregulation inhibited macrophage migration. In siRNA-TIMP-1-treated HSCs, microRNA-145 (miRNA-145) expression increased, while the expression of Friend leukemia virus integration-1 (Fli-1) and MCP-1 was inhibited. Downregulation of Fli-1 led to decreased MCP-1 expression, whereas Fli-1 overexpression increased MCP-1 expression within HSCs. Transfection with miRNA-145 mimics reduced the expression of both Fli-1 and MCP-1, while miRNA-145 inhibitors elevated the expression of both Fli-1 and MCP-1 in HSCs. miRNA-145 bound directly to the 3'-UTR of Fli-1, and miRNA-145-enriched EVs secreted by HSCs after TIMP-1 downregulation influenced macrophage recruitment. TIMP-1 induces Fli-1 expression through miRNA-145, subsequently increasing MCP-1 expression and macrophage recruitment. MiRNA-145-enriched EVs from HSCs can transmit biological information and magnify the function of TIMP-1.\n\nID: 40999769\nTitle: Therapeutic Potential of Rose Hip-Derived Nanoparticles for Psoriatic Skin Inflammation.\nAbstract: Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease characterized by hyperproliferation of keratinocytes and excessive inflammation. Plant-derived nanoparticles (pdNPs) are promising agents for treating inflammatory skin diseases. In this study, we examined the characteristics and functions of rose hip-derived nanoparticles (RNPs) rich in various bioactive compounds. RNPs were isolated from rose hips using sucrose ultracentrifugation and characterized using NanoSight and transmission electron microscopy. Cellular uptake by HaCaT human keratinocytes was analyzed using flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Uptake mechanisms were investigated using siRNA knockdown. Proliferation, apoptosis, and cytokine expression were evaluated in a HaCaT psoriasis model. Antioxidant activity was assessed by measuring reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in stimulated HaCaT and RAW264.7 mouse macrophage-like cells. The in vivo efficacy was evaluated in a mouse model of psoriasis via intradermal injection of RNPs. The RNPs obtained via ultracentrifugation exhibited a vesicular structure of approximately 100 nm in diameter. They were efficiently taken up by HaCaT cells and inhibited excessive inflammation-induced proliferation. RNPs reduced the mRNA levels of the inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1\u03b2 and interferon-\u03b3. Additionally, RNPs were efficiently internalized by mouse macrophage-like RAW264.7 cells, decreasing the intracellular reactive oxygen species levels. The intradermal injection of RNPs effectively suppressed epidermal hyperproliferation and macrophage infiltration in an imiquimod-induced psoriasis mouse model. Collectively, these results suggest that RNPs can be used to treat psoriasis by regulating oxidative stress and inhibiting epidermal hyperproliferation. RNPs, which exerted potent effects on epidermal cells, target key pathological mechanisms such as oxidative stress and immune-driven keratinocyte proliferation. Therefore, they are promising natural therapeutic agents for psoriasis.\n\nID: 40872796\nTitle: M\u011bngl\u00e0 Virus VP40 Localizes to the Nucleus and Impedes the RIG-I Signaling Pathway.\nAbstract: M\u011bngl\u00e0 virus (MLAV) is a member of the genus Dianlovirus in the family Filoviridae, which also includes Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV). Whether MLAV poses a threat to human health is uncertain. However, the MLAV VP35 and VP40 proteins can impair IFN\u03b1/\u03b2 gene expression and block IFN\u03b1/\u03b2-induced Jak-STAT signaling, respectively, suggesting the capacity to counteract human innate immune defenses. In this study, MLAV VP40 is demonstrated to impair the Sendai virus (SeV)-induced activation of the IFN\u03b2 promoter. Inhibition is independent of the MLAV VP40 PPPY late-domain motif that interacts with host proteins possessing WW-domains to promote viral budding. Similar IFN\u03b2 promoter inhibition was not detected for EBOV or MARV VP40. MLAV VP40 exhibited lesser capacity to inhibit TNF\u03b1 activation of an NF-\u03baB reporter gene. MLAV VP40 impaired IFN\u03b2 promoter activation by an over-expressed, constitutively active form of RIG-I and by the over-expressed IRF3 kinases TBK1 and IKK\u03b5. However, MLAV VP40 did not inhibit IFN\u03b2 promoter activation by constitutively active IRF3 5D. Consistent with these findings, MLAV VP40 inhibited SeV-induced IRF3 phosphorylation. Although IRF3 phosphorylation occurs in the cytoplasm, MLAV VP40 exhibits substantial nuclear localization, accumulating in foci in HeLa cell nuclei. In contrast, the VP40 of EBOV and MARV exhibited lower degrees of nuclear localization and did not accumulate in foci. MLAV VP40 interacts with importin alpha-1 (IMP\u03b11), suggesting entry via the IMP\u03b1/IMP\u03b2 nuclear import pathway. Cumulatively, these data identify novel features that distinguish MLAV VP40 from its homologues in EBOV and MARV.\n\nID: 21228243\nTitle: Ebolavirus proteins suppress the effects of small interfering RNA by direct interaction with the mammalian RNA interference pathway.\nAbstract: Cellular RNA interference (RNAi) provides a natural response against viral infection, but some viruses have evolved mechanisms to antagonize this form of antiviral immunity. To determine whether Ebolavirus (EBOV) counters RNAi by encoding suppressors of RNA silencing (SRSs), we screened all EBOV proteins using an RNAi assay initiated by exogenously delivered small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) against either an EBOV or a reporter gene. In addition to viral protein 35 (VP35), we found that VP30 and VP40 independently act as SRSs. Here, we present the molecular mechanisms of VP30 and VP35. VP30 interacts with Dicer independently of siRNA and with one Dicer partner, TRBP, only in the presence of siRNA. VP35 directly interacts with Dicer partners TRBP and PACT in an siRNA-independent fashion and in the absence of effects on interferon (IFN). Taken together, our findings elucidate a new mechanism of RNAi suppression that extends beyond the role of SRSs in double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) binding and IFN antagonism. The presence of three suppressors highlights the relevance of host RNAi-dependent antiviral immunity in EBOV infection and illustrates the importance of RNAi in shaping the evolution of RNA viruses.\n\nID: 20084112\nTitle: Marburg virus evades interferon responses by a mechanism distinct from ebola virus.\nAbstract: Previous studies have demonstrated that Marburg viruses (MARV) and Ebola viruses (EBOV) inhibit interferon (IFN)-alpha/beta signaling but utilize different mechanisms. EBOV inhibits IFN signaling via its VP24 protein which blocks the nuclear accumulation of tyrosine phosphorylated STAT1. In contrast, MARV infection inhibits IFNalpha/beta induced tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT2. MARV infection is now demonstrated to inhibit not only IFNalpha/beta but also IFNgamma-induced STAT phosphorylation and to inhibit the IFNalpha/beta and IFNgamma-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of upstream Janus (Jak) family kinases. Surprisingly, the MARV matrix protein VP40, not the MARV VP24 protein, has been identified to antagonize Jak and STAT tyrosine phosphorylation, to inhibit IFNalpha/beta or IFNgamma-induced gene expression and to inhibit the induction of an antiviral state by IFNalpha/beta. Global loss of STAT and Jak tyrosine phosphorylation in response to both IFNalpha/beta and IFNgamma is reminiscent of the phenotype seen in Jak1-null cells. Consistent with this model, MARV infection and MARV VP40 expression also inhibit the Jak1-dependent, IL-6-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT3. Finally, expression of MARV VP40 is able to prevent the tyrosine phosphorylation of Jak1, STAT1, STAT2 or STAT3 which occurs following over-expression of the Jak1 kinase. In contrast, MARV VP40 does not detectably inhibit the tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT2 or Tyk2 when Tyk2 is over-expressed. Mutation of the VP40 late domain, essential for efficient VP40 budding, has no detectable impact on inhibition of IFN signaling. This study shows that MARV inhibits IFN signaling by a mechanism different from that employed by the related EBOV. It identifies a novel function for the MARV VP40 protein and suggests that MARV may globally inhibit Jak1-dependent cytokine signaling.\n=======================================================\n\n### [CUSTOM DATAPOINTS]\nCRITICAL EXTRACTION DIRECTIVE: You MUST extract the following custom datapoints as root-level key/value pairs inside your final JSON block:\n- \"suggested_experiments\": generate 1-3 suggested experiments\n- \"suggested_studies\": generate 1-3 suggested studies\n- \"swansons_literature_based_discovery_candidates\": You are an advanced Literature-Based Discovery (LBD) system executing Swanson\u2019s complementary-but-disjoint (A-B-C) model.

While secreted phosphoproteins are crucial in this process, the upstream kinases regulating their post-translational modifications and biological functions remain poorly understood. Integrating single-cell RNA sequencing and macromolecular interaction analysis, we identified a pro-fibrotic FPR3+ macrophage subset. We utilized co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry to map the interaction between the Golgi kinase Fam20C and its substrate Osteopontin (also known as SPP1). To validate the functional requirement of this kinase in vivo, we employed a Fab'-functionalized macromolecular delivery system to specifically silence Fam20C in macrophages. We demonstrate that Fam20C phosphorylates SPP1, a critical modification that facilitates its secretion and subsequent binding to CD44 receptors on lung-resident mesenchymal stem cells (LR-MSCs). This ligand-receptor interaction inhibits the Hippo pathway, driving LR-MSC differentiation into myofibroblasts. Importantly, specific silencing of Fam20C using the targeted siRNA delivery strategy significantly attenuated fibrotic progression and blocked the macrophage-LR-MSC fibrogenic crosstalk in mouse models. This study reveals the Fam20C-SPP1 phosphorylation axis as a critical macromolecular switch in pulmonary fibrosis. Our findings provide mechanistic insights into immune-stromal communication and highlight Fam20C as a viable target for precision intervention.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42361938 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 41881584 for the quote: \"Additional normal human skin Fbs were taken and divided into empty control group and Wnt9a overexpression group treated as before.

Methods: This study was a case series combined with group-designed basic study. The chronic wound tissue and its adjacent normal skin tissue were collected from 8 patients with diabetic foot ulcers, who received debridement surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from June to September 2023, including 5 males and 3 females, aged 45-72 years. The expression of Wnt9a was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method and immunofluorescence method. Eight male C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were used to establish a full-thickness skin resected wound on the back. They were divided into control group received no additional treatment and chronic wound group subcutaneously injected with mouse M1 macrophage derived exosomes at the wound edge to establish a chronic wound model using a random number table method (the same grouping method below), with 4 mice in each group. At 7 days after modeling, the Wnt9a expressions in the wound tissue of mice in two groups was detected by ELISA method. Additional 16 male C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were used to establish the chronic wound model as before and were divided into empty control group and Wnt9a overexpression group, with 8 mice in each group, which were injected subcutaneously at the wound edge with enhanced green fluorescent protein empty adenovirus (AV-eGFP) and Wnt9a gene recombinant adenovirus expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (AV-Wnt9a-eGFP), respectively. At 3, 7, and 14 days after modeling, the percentages of residual wound area were calculated. At 14 days after modeling, the expressions of type \u2160 and type \u2162 collagen were detected by Western blotting, and the arrangement of collagen fibers was observed after Masson staining. The normal human skin tissue collected in the abovementioned experiment was used to isolate fibroblasts (Fbs), which were divided into empty control group infected with AV-eGFP and Wnt9a overexpression group infected with AV-Wnt9a-eGFP. The protein expression of Wnt9a at 72 h after infection was detected by Western blotting; at 48 h after infection, the cell migration rate at 48 h after scratching was detected by scratch test. Additional normal human skin Fbs were collected and divided into Wnt9a specific small interfering RNA (siRNA-Wnt9a) group and negative control small interfering RNA (siRNA-NC) group, which were transfected with corresponding small interfering RNA, respectively. At 24 h after transfection, the cell migration rate at 48 h after scratching was detected by scratch test. Additional normal human skin Fbs were taken and divided into empty control group and Wnt9a overexpression group treated as before. At 72 h after infection, transcriptome sequencing was performed to screen for differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and the gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes enrichment analysis were performed. The sample number in all cell experiments was 3. Results: The results of both ELISA method and immunofluorescence method showed that the expression level of Wnt9a in human chronic wound tissue was significantly lower than that in normal skin tissue (with t values of 7.68 and 10.25, respectively, P<0.05). At 7 days after modeling, the expression level of Wnt9a in the wound tissue of mice in chronic wound group was significantly lower than that in control group (t=5.12, P<0.05). The percentages of residual wound area of mice in Wnt9a overexpression group were significantly lower than those in empty control group at 3, 7, and 14 days after modeling (with t values of 3.90, 6.62, and 5.73, respectively, P<0.05). At 14 days after modeling, the expression levels of type \u2160 and type \u2162 collagen in the wound tissue of mice in Wnt9a overexpression group were significantly lower than those in empty control group (with t values of 6.25 and 5.48, respectively, P<0.05). At 14 days after modeling, the collagen fibers in the wound tissue of mice in Wnt9a overexpression group arranged more orderly than those in empty control group. At 72 h after infection, the protein expression level of Wnt9a in cells in Wnt9a overexpression group was significantly higher than that in empty control group (t=6.96, P<0.05). At 48 h after infection, the cell migration rate in Wnt9a overexpression group was (71.6\u00b16.4)% at 48 h after scratching, which was significantly higher than (38.5\u00b12.4)% in empty control group (t=8.31, P<0.05). At 24 h after transfection, the cell migration rate in siRNA-Wnt9a group was (15.4\u00b13.2)% at 48 h after scratching, which was significantly lower than (31.9\u00b13.6)% in siRNA-NC group (t=5.93, P<0.05). At 72 h after infection, compared with that in empty control group, the significantly downregulated DEGs in cells in Wnt9a overexpression group included multiple collagen family genes, and the genes in cells in Wnt9a overexpression group were significantly enriched in the non-classical Wnt signaling pathway. Conclusions: Wnt9a expression is downregulated in chronic wound tissue of human and mice, and the overexpression of Wnt9a may promote migration of Fbs and collagen remodeling through non-classical Wnt signaling pathway, thereby accelerating chronic wound healing. \u76ee\u7684\uff1a

RNA interference offers a safe and efficient means to disrupt this pathway, highlighting the importance of developing effective siRNA delivery systems to improve antitumor efficacy. In this study, we developed a biomimetic and fusogenic liposome capable of deep tumor penetration and selective tumor cell targeting for the coordinated cytosolic delivery of CD47 and PLK1-targeting siRNAs. CD47 siRNA downregulated CD47 protein expression, suppressing the \"don't eat me\" signal, while PLK1 siRNA induced tumor cell apoptosis and enhanced the \"eat-me\" signal by facilitating the translocation of calreticulin to the cell surface. This biomimetic platform enabled efficient tumor cell specific cytosolic delivery and deep tissue penetration of siRNAs. The combined silencing strategy significantly enhanced macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of tumor cells and improved antitumor outcomes in a 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model. Overall, this study presents a biomimetic fusogenic liposomal system that amplifies macrophage phagocytosis and suppresses tumor growth, providing a promising therapeutic avenue for triple-negative breast cancer.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 41146666 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), including small vesicles-exosomes-have emerged as a safe cell-free therapeutic platform capable of crossing biological barriers and delivering bioactive cargo with low immunogenicity.\" (Source: 42196304)\n- \"While vaccines represent an obvious approach, targeting virus interactions with host proteins that critically regulate the virus lifecycle also represent important therapeutic strategies.

Load the plant vesicles with synthetic siRNAs designed to silence VP40 transcription directly inside the macrophage. Exploration of dietary, pharmacological, and repurposed solutions to achieve this.\"\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThe hypothesis proposes using plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) as a carrier for small interfering RNA (siRNA) specifically targeting the Ebola virus (EBOV) matrix protein VP40, delivered to macrophages. This synthesis evaluates the mechanistic feasibility of using PDEV-based RNA interference (RNAi) to mitigate Ebola virus pathogenesis by intercepting viral protein assembly in macrophages.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nEbola virus (EBOV) remains a critical pathogen, with its matrix protein, VP40, serving as a primary mediator of viral assembly and egress. Research identifies that VP40 is abundantly expressed during infection and plays a number of critical roles in the viral lifecycle. Furthermore, the Ebola genome encodes only seven genes, which mediate the entry, replication, and egress of the virus from the host cell. The EBOV matrix protein is VP40, which is found localized under the lipid envelope of the virus where it bridges the viral lipid envelope and nucleocapsid. EBOV also utilizes mechanisms to antagonize host RNA interference (RNAi) machinery. In addition to viral protein 35 (VP35), we found that VP30 and VP40 independently act as SRSs. Despite these viral defenses, nanotechnology offers viable solutions for these challenges, including the targeted delivery of siRNA. PDEVs, such as ginger-derived exosomes, exhibit unique properties that facilitate therapeutic delivery. Ginger EVs show strong colon and macrophage targeting, as well as robust resistance to acidic degradation in the stomach. Such platforms are already being explored for delivering siRNA to specific immune cells; for instance, here, a hierarchically engineered oral nanotherapeutic is developed based on Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG-derived bacterial nanovesicles (BNVs) for inflammatory macrophage-targeted gene silencing in colitis. By utilizing macrophage-targeting vesicles, one could potentially deliver synthetic siRNA to silence VP40 directly, thus disrupting the viral lifecycle at the assembly stage while bypassing the cell-autonomous suppression mechanisms encoded by EBOV.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* VP40 is not merely a structural protein but an active antagonist of host RNAi, acting as a suppressor of RNA silencing (SRS).\n* Ginger-derived EVs provide a dual-benefit platform: they offer intrinsic anti-inflammatory properties (via 6-shogaol) while serving as robust, acid-resistant carriers for nucleic acid payloads.\n* The effectiveness of PDEV delivery is highly dependent on identifying specific \"therapeutic windows\" for gene silencing, similar to the 36-hour kinetics established for HSP70 suppression in cancer therapy.\n* EBOV pathogenesis involves \"bystander\" damage to immune cells; therefore, targeting VP40 in macrophages may not only limit viral replication but also prevent virus-induced lymphocyte apoptosis.\n* Hybrid membrane strategies (e.g., T lymphocyte-macrophage hybrid membranes) can enhance the specificity of nanocarriers for macrophages beyond what is achieved by bare EVs.\n* Metabolic or pharmacologic modulation of the host's endosomal/lysosomal pathway can be repurposed to improve the cytoplasmic escape of siRNA delivered by plant-derived vesicles.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Although plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) hold therapeutic potential for immunomodulation, their clinical application is limited by poor stability and inefficient delivery. Here, we developed cholesterol-modified nanovesicles (CHOL@CDNVs) from Clematis filamentosa Dunn (CDNVs), a medicinal plant with documented anti-inflammatory properties. Using a thin-film hydration-extrusion method, low-concentration cholesterol modification enhanced the colloidal stability of the vesicles and increased macrophage uptake by 1.6-fold while preserving their ROS scavenging capacity. CHOL@CDNVs effectively suppressed M1 polarization and the secretion of TNF-\u03b1/IL-1\u03b2, while inducing M2 reprogramming. In an LPS-induced ALI mouse model, CHOL@CDNVs administration reduced pulmonary edema (37% lower wet/dry weight ratio) and fibrosis (67% reduction in collagen deposition) without inducing hepatotoxicity. These therapeutic effects were mediated by a shift from M1 to M2 macrophage polarization and the resolution of inflammatory properties. This study establishes cholesterol modification as a dual-functional strategy that simultaneously enhances the stability and immunoregulatory efficacy of plant-derived nanovesicles, offering a promising advance toward precision therapy for ALI/ARDS."

Angiomotin (Amot) is a multifunctional PPxY-containing adaptor protein that regulates angiogenesis, actin dynamics, and cell migration/motility. Amot also regulates the Hippo signaling pathway via interactions with the WW-domain-containing Hippo effector protein Yes-associated protein (YAP). In this report, we demonstrate that endogenous Amot is crucial for positively regulating egress of eVP40 virus-like particles (VLPs) and for egress and spread of authentic EBOV. Mechanistically, we show that ectopic YAP expression inhibits eVP40 VLP egress and that Amot co-expression rescues budding of eVP40 VLPs in a dose-dependent and PPxY-dependent manner. Moreover, results obtained with confocal and total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy suggested that Amot's role in actin organization and dynamics also contributes to promoting eVP40-mediated egress. In summary, these findings reveal a functional and competitive interplay between virus and host proteins involving the multifunctional PPxY-containing adaptor Amot, which regulates both the Hippo pathway and actin dynamics. We propose that our results have wide-ranging implications for understanding the biology and pathology of EBOV infections."

The VP40 matrix protein of EBOV is essential for viral assembly and budding from the host cell. Recent data have shown that VP40 exists in the extracellular environment, including in exosomes, and exosomal VP40 can impact the viability of recipient immune cells, including myeloid and T cells, through the regulation of the RNAi and endosomal sorting complexes required for transport pathways. In this study, we discuss the latest findings of the impact of exosomal VP40 on immune cells in vitro and its potential implications for pathogenesis in vivo."

The filovirus VP40 matrix protein is essential for virus assembly and budding, and its PPxY L-domain motif interacts with WW-domains of specific host proteins, such as Nedd4 and ITCH, to facilitate the late stage of virus-cell separation. To identify additional WW-domain-bearing host proteins that interact with VP40, we used an EBOV PPxY-containing peptide to screen an array of 115 mammalian WW-domain-bearing proteins. Using this unbiased approach, we identified BCL2 Associated Athanogene 3 (BAG3), a member of the BAG family of molecular chaperone proteins, as a specific VP40 PPxY interactor. Here, we demonstrate that the WW-domain of BAG3 interacts with the PPxY motif of both EBOV and MARV VP40 and, unexpectedly, inhibits budding of both eVP40 and mVP40 virus-like particles (VLPs), as well as infectious VSV-EBOV recombinants. BAG3 is a stress induced protein that regulates cellular protein homeostasis and cell survival through chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). Interestingly, our results show that BAG3 alters the intracellular localization of VP40 by sequestering VP40 away from the plasma membrane. As BAG3 is the first WW-domain interactor identified that negatively regulates budding of VP40 VLPs and infectious virus, we propose that the chaperone-mediated autophagy function of BAG3 represents a specific host defense strategy to counteract the function of VP40 in promoting efficient egress and spread of virus particles."

Because of its high mortality and ease of transmission from human to human, Ebola virus remains a biological threat for which effective preventive and therapeutic interventions are needed. An understanding of the mechanisms of Ebola virus pathogenesis is critical for developing antiviral therapeutics. Here, we report that productive replication of Ebola virus is modulated by the c-Abl1 tyrosine kinase. Release of Ebola virus-like particles (VLPs) in a cell culture cotransfection system was inhibited by c-Abl1-specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) or by Abl-specific kinase inhibitors and required tyrosine phosphorylation of the Ebola matrix protein VP40. Expression of c-Abl1 stimulated an increase in phosphorylation of tyrosine 13 (Y(13)) of VP40, and mutation of Y(13) to alanine decreased the release of Ebola VLPs. Productive replication of the highly pathogenic Ebola virus Zaire strain was inhibited by c-Abl1-specific siRNAs or by the Abl-family inhibitor nilotinib by up to four orders of magnitude. These data indicate that c-Abl1 regulates budding or release of filoviruses through a mechanism involving phosphorylation of VP40. This step of the virus life cycle therefore may represent a target for antiviral therapy."

"abstract_text": "ID: 21228243\nTitle: Ebolavirus proteins suppress the effects of small interfering RNA by direct interaction with the mammalian RNA interference pathway.\nAbstract: Cellular RNA interference (RNAi) provides a natural response against viral infection, but some viruses have evolved mechanisms to antagonize this form of antiviral immunity. To determine whether Ebolavirus (EBOV) counters RNAi by encoding suppressors of RNA silencing (SRSs), we screened all EBOV proteins using an RNAi assay initiated by exogenously delivered small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) against either an EBOV or a reporter gene. In addition to viral protein 35 (VP35), we found that VP30 and VP40 independently act as SRSs. Here, we present the molecular mechanisms of VP30 and VP35. VP30 interacts with Dicer independently of siRNA and with one Dicer partner, TRBP, only in the presence of siRNA. VP35 directly interacts with Dicer partners TRBP and PACT in an siRNA-independent fashion and in the absence of effects on interferon (IFN). Taken together, our findings elucidate a new mechanism of RNAi suppression that extends beyond the role of SRSs in double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) binding and IFN antagonism. The presence of three suppressors highlights the relevance of host RNAi-dependent antiviral immunity in EBOV infection and illustrates the importance of RNAi in shaping the evolution of RNA viruses."

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising alternative due to their immunomodulatory properties; however, whole-cell therapies have certain limitations. MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), including small vesicles-exosomes-have emerged as a safe cell-free therapeutic platform capable of crossing biological barriers and delivering bioactive cargo with low immunogenicity. Various types of RNAs abundantly produced by host MSCs represent a key element of EV content. In particular, EVs carry small RNAs, which essentially determine cellular life and fate. Our review provides a comprehensive mechanistic framework for the use of RNA-loaded EVs, specifically those carrying microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs), in restoring immune homeostasis. We detail the biogenesis and molecular mechanisms governing sorting of RNA into EVs, along with endogenous and exogenous engineering strategies to enhance therapeutic potency. We examine how RNA-loaded EVs modulate immunological processes like reprogramming of macrophage M1-M2 polarization, Th17/Treg balance, and suppression of inflammatory signaling pathways such as NF-\u03baB and the NLRP3 inflammasome.

However, despite growing interest, the development of ELNs for nucleic acid delivery remains a formidable challenge, compounded by diverse production methods and a lack of systematic approaches to optimize their formulation and performance. This study employed a Box-Behnken design and two fabrication methods: freeze-thaw and sonication, to optimize the formulation of ELNs derived from exosomes of five distinct cancer cells. Formulation criteria focused on maximizing the fusion efficiency while minimizing particle size. The impact of the fusion method on cellular association and gene silencing of promising therapeutic targets, CD24, CD44, and CD47, was evaluated. The optimized formulations were subsequently assessed for therapeutic efficacy in 4T1 and B16F10 tumor models. Through careful manipulation of formulation variables, we obtained optimal ELNs with fusion efficiencies exceeding 50% and particle sizes under 170 nm while preserving exosomal markers CD9, CD63, and CD81. Cellular association studies revealed that ELNs specifically targeted their parental cell line, achieving \u223c2.5-fold higher siRNA association compared to LNPs. Furthermore, the optimized ELNs facilitated the delivery of therapeutic siRNAs, resulting in robust gene silencing and consequently improved the in vitro macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of treated cancer cells. In vivo studies using 4T1 and B16F10 tumor models highlighted the enhanced therapeutic potential of the optimized ELNs, as evidenced by significant tumor targeting and growth inhibition. These findings underscore the importance of systematic formulation and method optimization in advancing ELNs as effective nucleic acid delivery platforms for cancer therapy."

This has led to significant interest from academic institutions and pharmaceutical companies. However, the intrinsic hepatic tropism of LNPs limits their potential for targeted siRNA delivery to tumors. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), as natural nucleic acid carriers, exhibit unique biological properties. In recent years, EVs derived from M1 macrophages have gained particular attention for tumor-targeted therapy. Bioinspired nanovesicles composed of LNPs and M1 macrophage-derived EVs may combine the advantageous characteristics of both carriers and offer a promising vehicle for siRNA delivery to tumor tissues, thus warranting further investigation. This chapter outlines a laboratory-scale method for constructing bioinspired nanovesicles. First, a range of experimental methods for screening and optimizing these nanovesicles are introduced. Then, various assessment metrics such as siRNA encapsulation efficiency, vesicle fusion efficiency, and target gene silencing efficiency are discussed. Finally, experimental designs are presented for evaluating the potential siRNA delivery capabilities of these bioinspired nanovesicles both in vitro and in vivo."

Gene therapy raises a prospective option to overcome the challenges posed by conventional therapeutic strategies. The CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis plays a critical role in promoting tumor cell proliferation, migration, and metastasis in PDAC. Targeted delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) against CX3CR1 through M1 phenotype macrophage extracellular vesicles is a potential strategy to achieve accurate PDAC treatment. This study sought to investigate the therapeutic potential of siRNA specifically targeting CX3CR1 in PDAC via loading into extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from M1 macrophages, evaluating its therapeutic efficacy through in vitro and in vivo experiments. The results demonstrated that siCX3CR1 was successfully incorporated into extracellular vesicles originating from M1 macrophages. M1 EV/siCX3CR1 significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of AsPC-1 cells in vitro. In the AsPC-1 subcutaneously transplanted tumor model, M1 EV/siCX3CR1 also exhibited a significant tumor-suppressive effect. Overall, the loading of siCX3CR1 into M1 EVs holds promise as a potential therapeutic approach for pancreatic cancer treatment in the future."

However, its clinical translation is limited by macrophage phenotypic plasticity within the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and the complexity of ex vivo cell manufacturing. It is essential to develop techniques that enable macrophages to be activated specifically by antigens while sustaining their proinflammatory activity in vivo. Here, we report a mannose-modified lipid nanoparticle (LNP) platform for the co-delivery of CAR-encoding messenger RNA (mRNA) and the Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7/8 agonist resiquimod (R848), enabling in situ generation of proinflammatory CAR macrophages. In vitro, we assessed macrophage-preferential uptake, CAR expression efficiency, TLR7/8 agonist-mediated macrophage polarization, and immune activation. In vivo efficacy was assessed in syngeneic and humanized mouse models of triple-negative breast cancer, including postoperative recurrence and lung metastasis models. Systemic administration of M-LNP/CAR+R848 induced robust CAR expression in tumor-associated macrophages and promoted sustained M1 polarization. Engineered macrophages exhibited enhanced antigen-specific phagocytic activity and tumor cell clearance, and promoted CD8+ T\u2009cell proliferation and NK cell infiltration, thus coordinating innate and adaptive immune responses. Functional macrophage depletion experiments demonstrated that tumor control was dependent on macrophages. In vivo treatment significantly reduced the growth of primary tumors, prevented postoperative recurrence, and prolonged survival in mice with lung metastases in both syngeneic and humanized models. Our findings demonstrate that M-LNPs enabling co-delivery of mRNA and an innate immune agonist enable in situ generation of proinflammatory CAR macrophages and induce durable antitumor immunity. This controllable and non-integrative strategy allows tunable immune activation, provides a flexible platform for CAR macrophage-based immunotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer."

Here we show that TMEM16A and MCP-1, key mediators of cyst-lining epithelial expansion and inflammatory macrophage recruitment respectively, are consistently upregulated in cyst-lining collecting duct (CD) epithelia across murine, porcine, and human ADPKD models. In human ADPKD patient cells, although individual silencing of TMEM16A or MCP-1 transcripts reduced cyst growth, combined silencing produced superior therapeutic efficacy, establishing the rationale for evaluating dual-target delivery. To achieve dual gene silencing in the kidneys, we delivered Tmem16a and Mcp-1 siRNA using peptide amphiphile micelles (PAMs), an ultrasmall nanoparticle platform that enables efficient renal targeting. To redirect siRNA-loaded PAMs to CD epithelia, we functionalized their surface with a CD-targeting peptide (CDM), which enabled preferential accumulation in cyst-lining CD epithelia. In an inducible Pkd1-deficient mouse model, co-delivery of CDMs loaded with Tmem16a and Mcp-1 siRNA reduced kidney enlargement, cystic burden, tubular injury, and macrophage infiltration, with efficacy exceeding non-targeted siRNA delivery at equivalent doses. CDM demonstrated enhanced uptake in primary human ADPKD patient-derived CD cells and dual gene silencing reduced target gene expression and cyst expansion, establishing translational relevance. These findings establish CD peptide-functionalized micelles as a route to cell-type-selective RNAi in the kidney, delivering siRNA to cyst-lining CD cells. Furthermore, because both targets, TMEM16A and MCP-1, are transcribed within CD cells, our siRNA-loaded CD-targeting micelles silence two drivers of cyst expansion, and their simultaneous suppression represents an effective therapeutic strategy for ADPKD."

These exosomes (CTRL-EXO [noninfected], LPAIV-EXO, and HPAIV-EXO) were intramuscularly injected into na\u00efve chickens, after which tissues and serum were collected. Cytokine gene expression in immune-related tissues (lung, spleen, and trachea) was quantified through reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction to evaluate the immune response. Unlike the lung and trachea, the spleen showed the strongest immune response following exosome injection, associated with elevated antiviral cytokines and interferons in the AIV-exosome group. In parallel, these exosomes were applied to chicken macrophage HD11 cells to determine cellular uptake and cytokine expression using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Furthermore, immunocytochemistry was performed to detect exosome-delivered viral nucleoprotein and nonstructural protein 1 proteins in HD11 cells. LPAIV-EXO induced the strongest immune activation, evidenced by increased cytokine expression and immunochemical detection of viral proteins.

Exosomes, which are extracellular vesicles (30-150 nm) that play a key role in intercellular communication, have a dual role in HIV-1 pathogenesis and therapy. Regarding pathogenesis, this review elucidates how HIV-1 exploits the exosome pathway-hijacking the Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport(ESCRT)machinery for viral budding and selectively packaging viral components, such as the accessory protein Nef, to enhance infectivity, promote immune evasion, and establish latent reservoirs. Conversely, host cells utilize exosomes to mount antiviral defense by packaging and transmitting restriction factors, such as APOBEC3G, to recipient cells. Furthermore, exosomal cargo serves as promising biomarkers for disease monitoring, and exosomes themselves are emerging as versatile therapeutic nanocarriers. We highlight that plant-derived exosomes offer unique advantages, including low immunogenicity and high scalability, for delivering next-generation antiviral agents or gene editing tools. In summary, understanding the multifaceted roles of exosomes provides crucial mechanistic insights into HIV-1 pathogenesis and unveils innovative strategies toward a functional cure."

Exosome-based delivery systems are becoming a game-changing platform that can solve these therapeutic problems using their natural biocompatibility, minimal immunogenicity, and capacity to cross the BBB. This review current developments in exosome engineering that aim to make brain-targeted therapy for neuroinfectious illnesses more selective and effective. Much focus is on new molecular methods like pathogen-specific ligand display, aptamer conjugation, lipid modification, and click-chemistry-based surface functionalisation. These methods make it possible to target diseased areas of the brain precisely. Exosomes can also carry therapeutic payloads, such as anti-viral and antifungal drugs, gene editing tools like CRISPR/Cas9 and siRNA, and more. This makes them helpful in changing pathogens' persistence and the host's immunological responses. The paper tackle problems with translation, such as biodistribution, immunogenicity, GMP production, and regulatory issues.

Despite advances in antimicrobial therapy and supportive care, mortality remains high, highlighting the need for therapeutic strategies that target immune dysregulation in addition to infection control. The review evaluates the potential of hollow nanoparticles as immunomodulatory therapies for septic shock, focusing on lipid-based, polymeric, protein-based, biomimetic, inorganic, carbon-based, and hybrid nanoparticle platforms. Current evidence suggests that these systems can modulate key pathological processes through reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) scavenging, regulation of inflammatory signaling, macrophage modulation, neutralization of bacterial toxins and antigens, and, in some cases, direct antimicrobial activity. Among the available platforms, lipid-based and biomimetic nanoparticles appear to possess the greatest translational potential owing to their favorable immunomodulatory properties and improved biocompatibility. Nonetheless, several challenges continue to limit clinical translation, including nanoparticle-associated systemic and organ toxicity, unintended immunogenicity, limited long-term safety data, and the lack of standardized comparative studies across nanoparticle classes. Despite these limitations, the progression of VBI-S, a phospholipid nanoparticle formulation, to Phase III clinical evaluation highlights the growing clinical feasibility of such nanoparticle-based approaches for septic shock. Future research should focus on optimizing nanoparticle design, improving safety profiles, and establishing standardized preclinical and clinical evaluation frameworks. Collectively, the available evidence suggests that hollow nanoparticles represent a promising antibiotic-independent strategy for restoring immune homeostasis and improving outcomes in septic shock."

Host-directed therapeutic approaches are increasingly recognized as promising alternatives. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is an immunomodulatory molecule with host-dependent effects on macrophage function; however, its therapeutic use is hindered by instability and poor solubility. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) offer a controlled and biocompatible delivery platform capable of enhancing intracellular drug accumulation. ATRA-loaded SLNs were prepared and characterized for size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and morphology. Their antileishmanial activity was evaluated against extracellular L. infantum promastigotes, noninfected RAW 264.7 macrophages, and L. infantum-infected macrophages using resazurin-based assays and xCELLigence real-time cell analysis. Neither free ATRA nor ATRA-loaded SLNs exhibited significant inhibitory activity against extracellular promastigotes at concentrations up to 75 \u03bcM. In contrast, both forms of ATRA demonstrated marked dose-dependent inhibition in infected macrophages, with a significantly enhanced intracellular response observed in the SLN formulation, while maintaining excellent biocompatibility in noninfected macrophages. Enhanced uptake and sustained intracellular release are likely contributors to the improved efficacy of the SLN system. The findings reveal that ATRA exerts its antileishmanial activity primarily through host-dependent mechanisms that become apparent within infected macrophages, and that encapsulation into SLNs markedly amplifies this intracellular effect while preserving cell viability. ATRA-loaded SLNs thus represent a promising host-directed therapeutic strategy for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis."

Exosomes, naturally secreted extracellular vesicles, provide biocompatible carriers that protect siRNA from enzymatic degradation and facilitate efficient uptake by tumor cells. Their natural tropism, driven by surface proteins such as integrins and tetraspanins, promotes cellular adhesion and interactions within the tumor microenvironment, facilitating the delivery of therapeutic cargo. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that exosome-delivered siRNAs can suppress oncogenes, inhibit tumor growth, reverse chemoresistance, and modulate immune responses by targeting stromal and immune components. Engineering approaches, including surface functionalization and hybrid exosome-nanoparticle systems, further enhance stability, payload capacity, and tumor-homing efficiency. Combination strategies with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or phototherapy have shown synergistic effects, allowing simultaneous inhibition of survival pathways, promotion of apoptosis, and remodeling of the immunosuppressive microenvironment. Early-phase clinical studies indicate safety, effective biodistribution, and functional gene silencing, highlighting the translational potential of exosome-mediated siRNA therapeutics. Challenges such as scalable production, cargo heterogeneity, and regulatory considerations remain, but ongoing advances in exosome engineering and patient-derived vesicles are poised to overcome these barriers.

In recent years, exosomes have attracted considerable attention for their involvement in viral infections and immune system evasion. Many viruses hijack the exosome biogenesis machinery to facilitate their replication, spread infection, and evade immune defenses. Therefore, gaining insights into how exosomes modulate the immune system or contribute to viral infectivity is crucial. This review explores how viral exosomes interact with host mammalian cells, highlighting their unique ability to transfer genetic material and proteins to recipient cells independent of virus-receptor interaction. Additionally, we examine the role of viral exosomes in intercellular communication, particularly how they may both promote viral infectivity and transmission, as well as participate in antiviral defense and immune regulation. Unlike previous reviews, our study integrates findings across both human and animal viral infections, critically discusses methodological standardization in exosome research, and introduces emerging therapeutic approaches such as engineered exosomes and exosome mimetics."

Various types of plant-derived nanoparticles have been extensively studied; however, comparative investigations of different nanoparticles originating from the same plant remain limited. In this study, two types of Pueraria lobata-derived nanoparticles-extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (PLEVs) and decoction nanoparticles (DE-NPs)-were isolated, and their physicochemical properties and therapeutic activities were systematically compared. PLEVs exhibited superior resistance to digestion and showed extensive distribution to the liver, demonstrating an enhanced ability to overcome the intestinal barrier and reach the liver. In a mouse model of alcoholic liver disease (ALD), PLEVs were internalized by hepatic macrophages, promoting their polarization into anti-inflammatory M2 and scavenging intracellular reactive oxygen species. Although DE-NPs were digested by enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract, they also possessed beneficial effects by maintaining the intestinal barrier integrity and modulating gut microbiota balance. Overall, PLEVs exhibited a superior hepatoprotective effect, which was associated with the restoration of intestinal homeostasis and the attenuation of hepatic inflammation. These findings highlight the distinct delivery pathways and therapeutic mechanisms of the two Pueraria lobata-derived nanoparticles, addressing PLEVs as a promising natural nanomedicine for alleviating liver-related diseases."

The synthesis integrates findings on the essential nature of VP40 in EBOV assembly, the established efficacy of RNAi as a filoviral countermeasure, and the emerging field of engineered plant-derived nanovesicles for targeted, stable delivery of therapeutic nucleic acids.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe Ebola virus (EBOV) VP40 matrix protein is a critical linchpin for viral life cycle progression. \"The VP40 matrix protein of EBOV is essential for viral assembly and budding from the host cell.\" Given that filoviruses, including EBOV and MARV, rely on the interaction of their VP40 matrix protein with host proteins to drive egress, targeting the transcript of this protein offers a high-value antiviral strategy. The integration of RNA interference (RNAi) is established as a relevant host defense mechanism: \"In addition to viral protein 35 (VP35), we found that VP30 and VP40 independently act as SRSs.\" By leveraging the biocompatibility and scalability of plant-derived vesicles\u2014\"Using a thin-film hydration-extrusion method, low-concentration cholesterol modification enhanced the colloidal stability of the vesicles and increased macrophage uptake by 1.6-fold while preserving their ROS scavenging capacity\"\u2014one can envision a robust platform for siRNA delivery to the macrophage, a primary target cell for Ebola virus infection.

Although plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) hold therapeutic potential for immunomodulation, their clinical application is limited by poor stability and inefficient delivery. Here, we developed cholesterol-modified nanovesicles (CHOL@CDNVs) from Clematis filamentosa Dunn (CDNVs), a medicinal plant with documented anti-inflammatory properties. Using a thin-film hydration-extrusion method, low-concentration cholesterol modification enhanced the colloidal stability of the vesicles and increased macrophage uptake by 1.6-fold while preserving their ROS scavenging capacity. CHOL@CDNVs effectively suppressed M1 polarization and the secretion of TNF-\u03b1/IL-1\u03b2, while inducing M2 reprogramming. In an LPS-induced ALI mouse model, CHOL@CDNVs administration reduced pulmonary edema (37% lower wet/dry weight ratio) and fibrosis (67% reduction in collagen deposition) without inducing hepatotoxicity. These therapeutic effects were mediated by a shift from M1 to M2 macrophage polarization and the resolution of inflammatory properties. This study establishes cholesterol modification as a dual-functional strategy that simultaneously enhances the stability and immunoregulatory efficacy of plant-derived nanovesicles, offering a promising advance toward precision therapy for ALI/ARDS.\n\nID: 32381509\nTitle: Angiomotin regulates budding and spread of Ebola virus.\nAbstract: The Ebola virus (EBOV) VP40 matrix protein (eVP40) orchestrates assembly and budding of virions in part by hijacking select WW-domain-bearing host proteins via its PPxY late (L)-domain motif. Angiomotin (Amot) is a multifunctional PPxY-containing adaptor protein that regulates angiogenesis, actin dynamics, and cell migration/motility. Amot also regulates the Hippo signaling pathway via interactions with the WW-domain-containing Hippo effector protein Yes-associated protein (YAP). In this report, we demonstrate that endogenous Amot is crucial for positively regulating egress of eVP40 virus-like particles (VLPs) and for egress and spread of authentic EBOV. Mechanistically, we show that ectopic YAP expression inhibits eVP40 VLP egress and that Amot co-expression rescues budding of eVP40 VLPs in a dose-dependent and PPxY-dependent manner. Moreover, results obtained with confocal and total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy suggested that Amot's role in actin organization and dynamics also contributes to promoting eVP40-mediated egress. In summary, these findings reveal a functional and competitive interplay between virus and host proteins involving the multifunctional PPxY-containing adaptor Amot, which regulates both the Hippo pathway and actin dynamics. We propose that our results have wide-ranging implications for understanding the biology and pathology of EBOV infections.\n\nID: 28177658\nTitle: The Role of Exosomal VP40 in Ebola Virus Disease.\nAbstract: Ebola virus (EBOV) can cause a devastating hemorrhagic disease, leading to death in a short period of time. After infection, the resulting EBOV disease results in high levels of circulating cytokines, endothelial dysfunction, coagulopathy, and bystander lymphocyte apoptosis in humans and nonhuman primates. The VP40 matrix protein of EBOV is essential for viral assembly and budding from the host cell. Recent data have shown that VP40 exists in the extracellular environment, including in exosomes, and exosomal VP40 can impact the viability of recipient immune cells, including myeloid and T cells, through the regulation of the RNAi and endosomal sorting complexes required for transport pathways. In this study, we discuss the latest findings of the impact of exosomal VP40 on immune cells in vitro and its potential implications for pathogenesis in vivo.\n\nID: 28076420\nTitle: Chaperone-Mediated Autophagy Protein BAG3 Negatively Regulates Ebola and Marburg VP40-Mediated Egress.\nAbstract: Ebola (EBOV) and Marburg (MARV) viruses are members of the Filoviridae family which cause outbreaks of hemorrhagic fever. The filovirus VP40 matrix protein is essential for virus assembly and budding, and its PPxY L-domain motif interacts with WW-domains of specific host proteins, such as Nedd4 and ITCH, to facilitate the late stage of virus-cell separation. To identify additional WW-domain-bearing host proteins that interact with VP40, we used an EBOV PPxY-containing peptide to screen an array of 115 mammalian WW-domain-bearing proteins. Using this unbiased approach, we identified BCL2 Associated Athanogene 3 (BAG3), a member of the BAG family of molecular chaperone proteins, as a specific VP40 PPxY interactor. Here, we demonstrate that the WW-domain of BAG3 interacts with the PPxY motif of both EBOV and MARV VP40 and, unexpectedly, inhibits budding of both eVP40 and mVP40 virus-like particles (VLPs), as well as infectious VSV-EBOV recombinants. BAG3 is a stress induced protein that regulates cellular protein homeostasis and cell survival through chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). Interestingly, our results show that BAG3 alters the intracellular localization of VP40 by sequestering VP40 away from the plasma membrane. As BAG3 is the first WW-domain interactor identified that negatively regulates budding of VP40 VLPs and infectious virus, we propose that the chaperone-mediated autophagy function of BAG3 represents a specific host defense strategy to counteract the function of VP40 in promoting efficient egress and spread of virus particles.\n\nID: 22378924\nTitle: Productive replication of Ebola virus is regulated by the c-Abl1 tyrosine kinase.\nAbstract: Ebola virus causes a fulminant infection in humans resulting in diffuse bleeding, vascular instability, hypotensive shock, and often death. Because of its high mortality and ease of transmission from human to human, Ebola virus remains a biological threat for which effective preventive and therapeutic interventions are needed. An understanding of the mechanisms of Ebola virus pathogenesis is critical for developing antiviral therapeutics. Here, we report that productive replication of Ebola virus is modulated by the c-Abl1 tyrosine kinase. Release of Ebola virus-like particles (VLPs) in a cell culture cotransfection system was inhibited by c-Abl1-specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) or by Abl-specific kinase inhibitors and required tyrosine phosphorylation of the Ebola matrix protein VP40. Expression of c-Abl1 stimulated an increase in phosphorylation of tyrosine 13 (Y(13)) of VP40, and mutation of Y(13) to alanine decreased the release of Ebola VLPs. Productive replication of the highly pathogenic Ebola virus Zaire strain was inhibited by c-Abl1-specific siRNAs or by the Abl-family inhibitor nilotinib by up to four orders of magnitude. These data indicate that c-Abl1 regulates budding or release of filoviruses through a mechanism involving phosphorylation of VP40. This step of the virus life cycle therefore may represent a target for antiviral therapy.\n\nID: 22072961\nTitle: BST2/Tetherin enhances entry of human cytomegalovirus.\nAbstract: Interferon-induced BST2/Tetherin prevents budding of vpu-deficient HIV-1 by tethering mature viral particles to the plasma membrane. BST2 also inhibits release of other enveloped viruses including Ebola virus and Kaposi's sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV), indicating that BST2 is a broadly acting antiviral host protein. Unexpectedly however, recovery of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) from supernatants of BST2-expressing human fibroblasts was increased rather than decreased. Furthermore, BST2 seemed to enhance viral entry into cells since more virion proteins were released into BST2-expressing cells and subsequent viral gene expression was elevated. A significant increase in viral entry was also observed upon induction of endogenous BST2 during differentiation of the pro-monocytic cell line THP-1. Moreover, treatment of primary human monocytes with siRNA to BST2 reduced HCMV infection, suggesting that BST2 facilitates entry of HCMV into cells expressing high levels of BST2 either constitutively or in response to exogenous stimuli. Since BST2 is present in HCMV particles we propose that HCMV entry is enhanced via a reverse-tethering mechanism with BST2 in the viral envelope interacting with BST2 in the target cell membrane. Our data suggest that HCMV not only counteracts the well-established function of BST2 as inhibitor of viral egress but also employs this anti-viral protein to gain entry into BST2-expressing hematopoietic cells, a process that might play a role in hematogenous dissemination of HCMV.\n\nID: 21228243\nTitle: Ebolavirus proteins suppress the effects of small interfering RNA by direct interaction with the mammalian RNA interference pathway.\nAbstract: Cellular RNA interference (RNAi) provides a natural response against viral infection, but some viruses have evolved mechanisms to antagonize this form of antiviral immunity. To determine whether Ebolavirus (EBOV) counters RNAi by encoding suppressors of RNA silencing (SRSs), we screened all EBOV proteins using an RNAi assay initiated by exogenously delivered small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) against either an EBOV or a reporter gene. In addition to viral protein 35 (VP35), we found that VP30 and VP40 independently act as SRSs. Here, we present the molecular mechanisms of VP30 and VP35. VP30 interacts with Dicer independently of siRNA and with one Dicer partner, TRBP, only in the presence of siRNA. VP35 directly interacts with Dicer partners TRBP and PACT in an siRNA-independent fashion and in the absence of effects on interferon (IFN). Taken together, our findings elucidate a new mechanism of RNAi suppression that extends beyond the role of SRSs in double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) binding and IFN antagonism. The presence of three suppressors highlights the relevance of host RNAi-dependent antiviral immunity in EBOV infection and illustrates the importance of RNAi in shaping the evolution of RNA viruses.\n\nID: 42519494\nTitle: Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes as a Double-Edged Sword: Balancing Inflammation and Immunosuppression in Human Papillomavirus-Infected Tissues.\nAbstract: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted viral infection, strongly associated with chronic inflammation and cervical cancer progression in women. Persistent HPV infection leads to an inflammatory microenvironment that promotes epithelial dysplasia and immune evasion. Exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-exosomes) have emerged as promising immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory agents. This review examines current evidence on the interaction between HPV-induced inflammation and exosomal signaling, with a particular focus on the therapeutic potential of MSC-exosomes. We discuss their roles in immune regulation, miRNA delivery, suppression of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-\u03baB) signaling, and epithelial regeneration. This anti-inflammatory effect may also impair local immune surveillance, potentially enabling viral persistence and progression to malignancy. In this narrative review, We reviewed PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science articles published up to 2024 on MSC-exosome interactions with immune regulation in HPV-related diseases. Evidence suggests that while the anti-inflammatory effects of MSC-exosomes may help control HPV-associated inflammation, they can also impair local immune surveillance, potentially facilitating viral persistence and progression toward malignancy. This dual activity positions MSC-exosomes as a double-edged sword in the context of HPV pathogenesis. A deeper understanding of this paradox is essential for designing safer, context-specific MSC-based therapies that balance anti-inflammatory benefits with effective antiviral immune responses. Although direct studies on MSC-exosomes in HPV infections are limited, existing models suggest that they have the capacity to attenuate inflammation and restore cervical tissue homeostasis. This article also highlights knowledge gaps and future research directions necessary to develop MSC-exosome-based therapies for HPV-related cervical diseases.\n\nID: 42320681\nTitle: Mechanisms and therapeutic implications of galectins regulating Epstein-Barr virus infection.\nAbstract: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous herpesvirus associated with a broad spectrum of malignancies and immune-mediated disorders, and growing evidence highlights the importance of host glycan-lectin interactions in shaping viral persistence and immune escape. Among these, galectins have emerged as key regulators of the EBV life cycle, influencing viral attachment, latency maintenance, lytic reactivation, and the remodeling of the tumor microenvironment. Galectin-1, -3, and -9 exhibit context-dependent functions that collectively modulate oncogenic signaling pathways, T\u2011cell exhaustion, regulatory T\u2011cell expansion, and innate immune sensing. Recent clinical studies further suggest that circulating galectins and galectin-enriched exosomes may serve as non-invasive biomarkers for disease progression and prognosis in EBV-associated malignancies. Despite these advances, major knowledge gaps remain regarding member-specific functions, compensatory galectin networks, and the spatiotemporal dynamics of galectin regulation during infection. Targeting the galectin-glycan axis therefore represents a promising frontier for host-directed antiviral and anticancer therapies, with the potential to disrupt viral latency, restore antiviral immunity, and improve clinical outcomes in EBV-driven diseases.\n\nID: 42235518\nTitle: Targeted extracellular vesicle-photoimmunotherapy remodels stromal-immune microenvironment to boost chemo-immunotherapy in preclinical models.\nAbstract: Solid tumors, especially pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs), activate quiescent fibroblasts into cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) that generate dense desmoplastic stroma. This barrier restricts drug penetration and immune infiltration, promoting tumor progression. Here, we engineer Midkine (MDK)-targeting nanobody-functionalized extracellular vesicles (D4-EV) as a precision photoimmunotherapy platform. These vesicles selectively accumulate in the tumor microenvironment through MDK overexpression. Loaded with chlorin e6 (Ce6), Ce6@D4-EV induces immunogenic cell death upon light irradiation, triggering dsDNA release and cGAS-STING activation in tumor-associated macrophages. Concurrently, it reprograms CAFs, reduces extracellular matrix deposition, improves vascular perfusion, and alleviates hypoxia. This stromal-immune remodeling substantially enhances the therapeutic efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade, adoptive T cell therapy, and chemotherapy, leading to prolonged survival in multiple MDK-positive preclinical tumor models. The platform provides a promising strategy to overcome stromal barriers in desmoplastic tumors.\n\nID: 42200724\nTitle: Pomelo-derived exosomes suppress vesicular stomatitis virus infection through GSK3\u03b2 dependent regulation of innate immune signaling.\nAbstract: RNA virus infection triggers robust innate immune activation and inflammatory injury. Using vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) as a model, we investigated the antiviral and immunomodulatory effects of pomelo-derived extracellular vesicles (EVPomelo). Among multiple plant vesicles screened, EVPomelo exhibited the strongest anti-VSV activity in vitro and in vivo. LC-MS analysis identified penicillic acid (PA) as an important endogenous bioactive component. Mechanistically, EVPomelo suppressed viral replication and reduced IFN-\u03b2 and IL-6 production, accompanied by the inhibition of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) activation and decreased ISG15 transcription. Functional evidence suggests that these effects may be associated with the modulation of glycogen synthase kinase 3\u03b2 (GSK3\u03b2)-dependent signaling, to which PA may contribute. Sodium alginate (SA) encapsulation further improved in vivo retention and sustained release. Collectively,\u00a0EVPomelo\u00a0exert antiviral effects by suppressing virus-induced excessive inflammatory response. The underlying mechanism may be associated with the GSK3\u03b2/STAT1-mediated innate immune signaling pathway. These findings verify that EVPomelo possesses promising antiviral potential for further development.\n\nID: 42196304\nTitle: The Mechanistic Review of the Molecular Interface of RNA-Loaded Extracellular Vesicles: Redefining Targeted Therapy for Autoimmune Disorders.\nAbstract: Traditional treatments of autoimmune diseases relying on systemic immunosuppression often lack curative potential and have severe side effects. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising alternative due to their immunomodulatory properties; however, whole-cell therapies have certain limitations. MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), including small vesicles-exosomes-have emerged as a safe cell-free therapeutic platform capable of crossing biological barriers and delivering bioactive cargo with low immunogenicity. Various types of RNAs abundantly produced by host MSCs represent a key element of EV content. In particular, EVs carry small RNAs, which essentially determine cellular life and fate. Our review provides a comprehensive mechanistic framework for the use of RNA-loaded EVs, specifically those carrying microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs), in restoring immune homeostasis. We detail the biogenesis and molecular mechanisms governing sorting of RNA into EVs, along with endogenous and exogenous engineering strategies to enhance therapeutic potency. We examine how RNA-loaded EVs modulate immunological processes like reprogramming of macrophage M1-M2 polarization, Th17/Treg balance, and suppression of inflammatory signaling pathways such as NF-\u03baB and the NLRP3 inflammasome. We address critical translational challenges-EV heterogeneity, manufacturing scalability, and need for standardized quality control-while outlining future opportunities for RNA-loaded EV-based therapeutics.\n\nID: 42181269\nTitle: The Trojan Horse system composed of platelet membrane and extracellular vesicles inhibits atherosclerotic plaque progression.\nAbstract: Carotid atherosclerotic plaques are a leading cause of ischemic stroke and present a major challenge for early atherosclerosis intervention. Here we engineer a biomimetic delivery platform, such as the Trojan Horse system, composed of platelet membrane and extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from M2-like macrophages. The resulting vesicles, called platelet-extracellular vesicles (P-EVs), selectively accumulate at injured endothelium and atherosclerotic plaques and enable the co-delivery of PIM1 siRNA and Max-40279. This strategy suppresses endothelial-mesenchymal transition, reduces macrophage foam cell formation, and attenuates inflammatory responses in lesions. In mouse models of atherosclerosis, treatment with P-EVs significantly limits plaque progression. These results establish P-EVs as a targeted approach for modulating vascular inflammation and provide a potential strategy for slowing atherosclerotic plaque development.\n\nID: 42177969\nTitle: Harnessing exosomes for biomarker development and therapy in hepatitis virus infection.\nAbstract: Exosomes, a specialized subclass of extracellular vesicles, have emerged as critical mediators in the pathogenesis of viral hepatitis. Hepatotropic viruses hijack host exosomal biogenesis pathways to facilitate immune evasion, promote viral dissemination, and drive chronic inflammation and hepatic fibrosis. Paradoxically, these same vesicles offer unprecedented opportunities for noninvasive disease monitoring and targeted therapeutic intervention. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence on the dual role of exosomes in hepatitis virus infection, evaluating their evolution from pathogenic vectors to clinical tools for liquid biopsy diagnostics and engineered antiviral delivery. We examined how exosomal cargo, including microRNAs, proteins, and viral nucleic acids, enables precise stratification of liver disease stages, real-time treatment monitoring, and early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma. Furthermore, we explore advanced bioengineering strategies, such as endogenous cargo loading, surface functionalization, and the targeted delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 complexes and RNA-based therapeutics, which position engineered exosomes as next-generation precision nanomedicines. Despite compelling preclinical data, clinical translation remains constrained by significant bottlenecks, including scalable good manufacturing practice (GMP) production, the lack of standardized isolation and characterization protocols, and evolving regulatory pathways. Bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and bedside application will require coordinated advancements in manufacturing technology, global standardization initiatives, and rigorous clinical validation. Successfully overcoming these hurdles could establish exosome-based platforms as transformative tools for achieving functional cures and improving long-term outcomes in patients with viral hepatitis.\n\nID: 42106920\nTitle: In Situ Engineered \"Cascade-Amplified\" Drug-Loaded Vesicles for Enhanced Cancer Stem Cell Therapy.\nAbstract: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) characterized by the capacity of self-renewal and drug resistance, are a major cause of tumour recurrence and metastasis. However, CSCs are mainly localized in the deep and hypoxic regions of the tumour microenvironment that hinder drug penetration. Furthermore, their overexpression of the CD24/Siglec10 immune checkpoint axis markedly suppresses immune clearance, severely limiting the efficacy of current therapeutic strategies. To address this challenge, this study developed an in situ engineered \"cascade-amplified\" drug-loaded vesicle delivery system, aiming to achieve deep drug delivery into CSC-enriched regions and enhance anti-tumour immune responses. Based on a biomimetic \"core-shell\" nanoplatform (siXkr8/Dox@PMLC), this system initiates a cascade within the TME where Doxorubicin (Dox) induces tumour cells to generate drug-loaded apoptotic bodies (ApoBDs). These ApoBDs serve as primary vesicles that, upon uptake by adjacent tumour cells, trigger secondary apoptosis, establishing a \"cascade-amplified\" cycle of enhanced drug delivery. Meanwhile, the silencing of the phospholipid scramblase Xkr8 via siRNA inhibits phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure on the surface of ApoBDs, thereby preventing their recognition and clearance by M2-type macrophages and facilitating immune phenotype remodelling. Furthermore, through targeted blockade of the CD24/Siglec-10 immune axis, the nanoplatform enhances macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of CSCs. In summary, this strategy achieves deep eradication of CSCs and synergistically enhances anti-tumour immunotherapy, demonstrating significant translational potential.\n\nID: 42104986\nTitle: Fucoidan: An Update on Function, Role in Human Health and Applications.\nAbstract: Fucoidan is a polysaccharide bioactive compound, mainly from brown algae, characterized by multiple biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, anticancer, antioxidant, antiviral, and cardioprotective properties. In addition, growing scientific evidence supports its epigenetic potential and ability to modulate autophagic mechanisms, two crucial aspects for the treatment and prevention of chronic diseases, such as cancer, inflammation, and aging. For this reason, Fucoidan is a promising candidate for a wide range of applications, both as a bioactive component of drug delivery systems in order to improve their stability, bioavailability, and potentially reduce their side effects, and as an adjuvant in drug therapies. The aim of this review is to provide an update on the correlation between properties and distinctive chemical characteristics, to underline an interesting emerging role in epigenetics and autophagy and to be a new key point for preclinical and clinical studies, in order to better understand their properties and possible new therapeutic and biomedical applications.\n\nID: 41918722\nTitle: Chronic viral infections and their role in shaping the tumor immune microenvironment.\nAbstract: Chronic viral infections, such as HBV, HCV, EBV, and HPV, contribute to tumorigenesis not only through direct oncogenic effects but also by reshaping the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) via complex immunoregulatory mechanisms. These infections enhance immune suppression and promote metastasis. Viruses induce the accumulation of regulatory T cells (Tregs), myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), and immunosuppressive cytokines, while driving CD8+ T cell exhaustion and impairing NK cell function, creating an immune environment favorable for tumor survival. Chronic inflammation, pro-angiogenic factors, and signals mediated by exosomes and microvesicles further remodel local and distant microenvironments, forming a \"pre-metastatic niche\" that supports tumor cell colonization and metastasis. Key signaling pathways, including NF-\u03baB, STAT3, PD-1/PD-L1, and TGF-\u03b2, are persistently activated by viral proteins such as HBx and LMP1, reinforcing immunosuppression and metastasis. Based on these mechanisms, combined strategies of antiviral therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) or targeting exosomes and immunosuppressive pathways show potential to enhance antitumor immunity and limit metastasis. A deeper understanding of the virus-immune-metastasis axis and related biomarkers may provide precise immunotherapeutic strategies for virus-associated cancers and improve patient outcomes.\n\nID: 41902209\nTitle: Molecular Maneuvers and Host Sabotage: A Comprehensive Review of CSFV's Multifaceted Strategies to Subvert Immune Defenses and Cellular Metabolism.\nAbstract: Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) remains a significant threat to the global swine industry, causing a highly contagious and often fatal disease in pigs. This review comprehensively examines the molecular biology of CSFV and the intricate mechanisms it employs to establish infection. We detail the structure and functions of viral proteins, highlighting their roles in virus entry, replication, and immune evasion. A major focus is placed on the virus-host interaction, specifically how CSFV subverts host innate immune responses and hijacks critical cellular processes, including metabolism and cell death pathways. The virus strategically manipulates host cell death programs (apoptosis, mitophagy, necroptosis) and exploits intracellular transport systems to promote its propagation. Furthermore, we summarize recent advances in understanding the cellular receptors involved in CSFV entry and the role of exosomes in viral spread. This synthesis of current knowledge aims to provide a deeper insight into the pathogenesis of CSFV and identify potential vulnerabilities that could be targeted for the development of novel antiviral strategies.\n\nID: 41757585\nTitle: The Immunomodulatory Roles of Extracellular Vesicles in the Pathogenesis of Virus-Related Cancers.\nAbstract: Since their discovery in the 1980s, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have garnered immense interest. These vesicles facilitate cell-to-cell communication and transfer physiologically active molecules such as proteins, lipids, and RNAs to target cells. Oncogenic viruses encode genes that enable viral replication and allow host cells to produce viral proteins and complexes. These viral components represent potential candidates for developing antiviral therapies or vaccines. Exosomes, a type of EV, can enhance immune responses by delivering immunostimulatory molecules and inhibiting viral replication. However, oncoviruses can also exploit the diverse immunoregulatory functions of exosomes to promote disease progression. This review focuses on the dual role of EVs produced during viral infections, examining how they can either enhance or suppress host immunity. We provide an overview of the function of exosomes in oncogenic virus infections, with a particular emphasis on their immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory potential. We also highlight challenges in harnessing these vesicles for advanced cancer theranostics and preventive strategies.\n\nID: 41714672\nTitle: M2 macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles induce EMT-like transcriptional reprogramming in colorectal cancer cells via upregulation of FAM83A.\nAbstract: In the complex landscape of cancer progression, the immune system shapes crucial interactions between tumor and immune cells. Understanding this dialogue is essential for elucidating how immune-derived cues trigger epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-like transcriptional changes, a fundamental process that drives tumor cell plasticity and facilitates aggressive phenotypes. Here, we investigated the crosstalk between M2 macrophages and colon cancer cells (HT-29) during the post-tumorigenic phase, focusing on exosome-mediated regulation of EMT, a critical pathway controlling tumor cell phenotypic and transcriptional dynamics. Co-culture experiments revealed that M2 macrophage-derived exosomes (M2-Exo) induced profound transcriptional changes, with downregulation of epithelial markers and increased expression of mesenchymal genes. Importantly, EMT induction was markedly stronger following M2-Exo treatment than in the co-culture setting, suggesting that while soluble mediators play a contributory role, EMT is predominantly and directly driven by exosome-mediated signaling. Transcriptomic profiling identified FAM83A as a key upregulated gene in M2-Exo-treated HT-29 cells. Functional analyses demonstrated that FAM83A promoted EMT by modulating regulators associated with decreased E-Cadherin and increased N-Cadherin, MMP2, and MMP9 expression. Importantly, siRNA-mediated silencing of FAM83A abolished its overexpression and inhibited EMT activation, confirming its essential role in M2-Exo-induced programming of EMT. Collectively, these findings highlight exosome-mediated immune-tumor interactions as critical drivers of EMT and the progression toward an invasive, mesenchymal-like phenotype.\n\nID: 41687547\nTitle: Exosome-mediated antiviral testing system and identification of Punicalagins and Anthocyanidins as promising antiviral agents against SARS-CoV-2.\nAbstract: Emerging viral infections like SARS-CoV-2 (SCV-2) highlight the need for effective antiviral therapies. We aimed to establish a biosafety level 2 (BSL-2) compatible screening platform using an exosome-polyethylenimine based gene delivery matrix (EPM) to evaluate plant-derived polyphenols for their antiviral potential against SCV-2. EPM platform, facilitates the transfection of plasmid DNA encoding SCV-2 spike, nucleocapsid, and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) proteins into the HEK293T cells, enabling the screening of plant polyphenols for their antiviral activity. Punicalagins (PC), anthocyanidins (Anthos), delphinidin, and cyanidin, completely inhibited viral gene expression. These compounds protected Vero E6 cells from SCV-2 induced cytopathic effects with EC\u2085\u2080 values of 18.42\u202f\u03bcM, 72.9\u202f\u03bcM, and 72.54\u202f\u03bcM, respectively. Docking studies revealed strong binding affinities of PC to SCV-2 spike, nucleocapsid, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and RdRp proteins (-7.1, -8.0, -10.3 and -10.3\u202fkcal/mol, respectively). In vivo, PC provided dose-dependent protection in K18-hACE2 mice infected with SCV-2. Viral titers in nasal turbinates and lungs reduced by 30-40\u202f% at 6\u202fmg/kg and by 80\u202f% at 12\u202fmg/kg after 5 and 10 days of treatment. These findings support the utility of EPM as a screening platform and establish PC and Anthos as promising antiviral candidates against SCV-2 and other viruses utilizing similar entry mechanism.\n\nID: 41655019\nTitle: LpqH-tagged microvesicles as mRNA vaccine carriers for specific delivery of mRNA into macrophages.\nAbstract: Insufficient accumulation of lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-encapsulated mRNA vaccines within antigen-presenting cells (APCs) remains a key barrier to eliciting potent immune responses. Genetically engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs) present a highly adaptable and precisely tunable platform for the efficient delivery of small molecules to specific types of cells. In this study, we exploited a pseudotyping-based approach to load both exosome and microvesicle (MV) membranes with the ectodomain of LpqH (LpqH48-159) by engineering the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) glycoprotein. Our findings demonstrated that loading the LpqH ectodomain onto the surface of exosomes or MVs led to an increase in targeting macrophages compared with commercialized LNPs. Meanwhile, LpqH48-159-tagged MVs (LpqH-MVs) exhibit not only a higher efficiency in macrophage targeting but also greater mRNA encapsulation efficiency compared to LpqH48-159-tagged exosomes. In a vaccine-related application, compared to the LNPs, the LpqH-MVs loaded with mRNA encoding the enterovirus 71 capsid protein (VP1) or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) receptor-binding domain (RBD) elicited stronger humoral and adaptive immune responses against viral infection via intramuscular or inhalable immunization, respectively. Our study demonstrated that LpqH-MVs serve as a promising platform for mRNA vaccine delivery, enhancing APC targeting capabilities and thereby providing robust immune protection.\n\nID: 41611193\nTitle: Syntenins at the crossroads of host-virus interactions.\nAbstract: Syntenin is a multifunctional PDZ-domain adaptor protein that orchestrates membrane trafficking, cytoskeletal remodeling, and exosome biogenesis. Initially identified as a syndecan-binding molecule, syntenin has since emerged as a central hub connecting membrane receptors to intracellular signaling pathways that regulate adhesion, motility, immune signaling, and cellular plasticity. While extensively studied in cancer and neural development, recent discoveries reveal that a wide range of viruses exploit syntenin to facilitate their replication, assembly, or dissemination. This review consolidates current evidence across diverse viral infections to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between syntenin and viruses. Coronaviruses utilize syntenin to link PDZ-binding motifs to p38 MAPK-driven inflammation and endosomal entry. Papillomaviruses and Epstein-Barr virus hijack the CD63-syntenin-ALIX complex to control vesicle-mediated trafficking. Hepatitis C virus employs it to secrete E2-coated, antibody-resistant exosomes. Dengue virus harnesses its mosquito homolog AeSyntenin to package sfRNA for transmission. Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 employs its Tax-1 oncoprotein to bind the PDZ domains of syntenin, remodel extracellular vesicle cargo, and promote viral spread. In contrast, during human immunodeficiency virus infection, syntenin restricts viral fusion at the plasma membrane, though the nucleocapsid mimics its PDZ tandem to promote virion release. Collectively, these findings establish syntenin as a dynamic regulator at the host-virus interface, capable of exerting both proviral and antiviral effects. Emerging pharmacological strategies targeting syntenin PDZ domains further underscore its potential as a broad-spectrum, host-directed antiviral target.\n\nID: 41597203\nTitle: MHC Class II and Beyond: Complex Role of CD74 in Cancer.\nAbstract: Invariant chain, also known as CD74 when expressed on the plasma membrane, is classically recognized for its role in Major Histocompatibility Complex class II molecule assembly, trafficking, and peptide loading in professional antigen presenting cells. However, recent studies implicate CD74 as a broader regulator of tumor-immune interactions, modulating antigen presentation, cytokine signaling, and immune evasion across diverse cancers. This review synthesizes emerging evidence that CD74 functions as a \"master regulator\" of antigen presentation in cancer, integrating its canonical chaperone role with its noncanonical role in transcription regulation and in signaling via macrophage migration inhibitory factor. We explore how tumor microenvironmental contexts redefine CD74 biology, influencing antitumor immunity and therapeutic outcomes.\n\nID: 41583517\nTitle: Discovering the abnormalities and functional importance of ferroptosis-related molecules in cervical cancer.\nAbstract: Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent nonapoptotic form of cell death that links iron, lipid, and glutathione levels to a variety of disease-related activities. However, the characteristics of ferroptosis in cervical carcinoma (CC) are poorly understood. We acquired raw data on CC cohorts from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Key genes were identified using differential gene expression analysis and intersected for further immune infiltration, transcription regulation, gene set variation analysis (GSVA), gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), and drug sensitivity analysis. We also used immunohistochemical (IHC) staining to confirm the expression of important genes in cervical cancer tissue and their prognostic relevance. Finally, gene silencing and cell coculture experiments were used to verify the biological functional mechanism and its role in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Through bioinformatics analysis, we discovered that GCH1 and H1.2 are key ferroptosis-related molecules in cervical cancer. GCH1 and H1.2 could act as useful prognostic markers in cervical cancer, and in addition to their connection with the tumor microenvironment, the possible transcriptional regulatory network, hallmark pathways and chemotherapy sensitivity were also clarified. IHC of the tissue microarray (TMA) and immunofluorescence spatial distance evaluation revealed that GCH1 was more highly expressed in cervical cancer tissue than in paracarcinoma tissue. For patients with cervical cancer, higher GCH1 expression corresponded to a lower M2 cell proportion and a higher M1/M2 ratio as well as a greater GCH1-M2 distance. Silencing GCH1 in SiHa cells blocked the cell cycle, promoted apoptosis, and inhibited the migration and invasion abilities of the cells, possibly through the inhibition of the phosphorylated PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Coculture of the cells with macrophages revealed that the silencing of GCH1 led to decreased expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a biomarker of M1 macrophages. In this study, we performed a thorough investigation of ferroptosis-related genes and identified the functional complexity of GCH1 during tumorigenesis in cervical cancer.\n\nID: 41581743\nTitle: Nanotechnology-driven biomaterials for chronic liver diseases: Stage-specific strategies for advanced theranostics.\nAbstract: Chronic liver diseases (CLDs), encompassing a spectrum from steatosis and inflammation to fibrosis, cirrhosis, represent a major global health burden, causing approximately 2 million deaths annually [1]. The management of CLDs is significantly hampered by the limitations of conventional approaches, including non-targeted drug delivery, systemic toxicity, and inadequate diagnostic sensitivity for early-stage lesions. Nanotechnology-driven biomaterial platforms have emerged as pioneering solutions to these challenges, enabling precise theranostic strategies tailored to the distinct pathophysiology of each disease stage. This review systematically elaborates on these advancements by aligning with the natural progression of CLDs [non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), hepatitis B, liver fibrosis, and cirrhosis]. We detail how engineered platforms enhance therapeutic efficacy by achieving superior hepatic accumulation, controlled drug release, and improved metabolic, antiviral, and antifibrotic effects. Concurrently, we explore their role in diagnostics, where nanotechnology-enhanced imaging agents and nanosensors provide unprecedented sensitivity for early detection and accurate staging. By structuring the discussion around the evolving clinical needs from NAFLD and hepatitis to advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis, this review offers a stage-specific roadmap of biomaterial design principles. It aims to provide a foundational theory and forward-looking perspectives for developing next-generation, precision medicine solutions for CLDs, ultimately bridging the gap between benchtop innovation and clinical translation. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This review establishes a stage-specific design paradigm that bridges the gap between biomaterial innovation and the clinical continuum of chronic liver diseases (CLDs). Its significance lies in aligning cutting-edge biomaterial strategies from targeted, stimuli-responsive nanotherapeutics to engineered exosomes and gene delivery systems with the distinct pathophysiological features of each disease stage. This approach moves beyond cataloging materials to critically evaluating their translational feasibility. We analyze how rational material design addresses specific clinical bottlenecks, such as improving drug bioavailability to diseased tissue or enabling sensitive, non-invasive diagnostics for early detection. By providing this clinically focused roadmap, this review aims to accelerate the development of personalized therapies and reshape the theranostic landscape, striving to improve therapeutic outcomes of CLDs.\n\nID: 41506080\nTitle: Exosomes derived from avian influenza virus-infected chickens modulate host immune responses.\nAbstract: Exosomes are emerging as key mediators of host-pathogen interactions, particularly as carriers of viral components during infection. This study aims to examine the immunomodulatory effects of serum-derived exosomes from Brown Leghorn chickens infected with low pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAIV) or highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV). These exosomes (CTRL-EXO [noninfected], LPAIV-EXO, and HPAIV-EXO) were intramuscularly injected into na\u00efve chickens, after which tissues and serum were collected. Cytokine gene expression in immune-related tissues (lung, spleen, and trachea) was quantified through reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction to evaluate the immune response. Unlike the lung and trachea, the spleen showed the strongest immune response following exosome injection, associated with elevated antiviral cytokines and interferons in the AIV-exosome group. In parallel, these exosomes were applied to chicken macrophage HD11 cells to determine cellular uptake and cytokine expression using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Furthermore, immunocytochemistry was performed to detect exosome-delivered viral nucleoprotein and nonstructural protein 1 proteins in HD11 cells. LPAIV-EXO induced the strongest immune activation, evidenced by increased cytokine expression and immunochemical detection of viral proteins. Collectively, these findings indicate that AIV-derived exosomes modulate host immune responses in vivo and in vitro, underscoring their potential in immune regulation and vaccine development.\n\nID: 41410165\nTitle: Exosome Tethering Requires Tetherin Homodimerisation.\nAbstract: Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles that originate as intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) within multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Upon fusion of MVBs with the plasma membrane, ILVs are released into the extracellular environment as exosomes. Although exosomes can diffuse away from their cells of origin, the expression of the antiviral restriction factor tetherin promotes their retention at the cell surface, thereby limiting their release into the extracellular milieu. Tetherin plays an analogous role in retaining other extracellular particles, including many enveloped viruses and midbody remnants. We hypothesised that tetherin physically links exosomes to the cell surface through specific structural features of the protein. To test this, we combined biochemical assays with live-cell and ultrastructural imaging approaches to determine which elements of tetherin are required for exosome retention. Our analysis shows that the formation of tetherin homodimers is essential for exosome tethering. Mutations in regions or motifs of tetherin predicted to impact tetherin traffic to ILVs have only minor impacts on exosome tethering, suggesting redundancy in the mechanisms of tetherin traffic to ILVs, and subsequently, to exosomes. Collectively, these findings provide the first molecular insights into the mechanism that govern exosome tethering.\n\nID: 41389631\nTitle: Exosome-mediated scutellarin delivery enhances BBB penetration and microglia targeting in antiviral neuroprotection.\nAbstract: Scutellarin, the active component of Erigeron breviscapus(Vant.)Hand.-Mazz, has therapeutic potential for neurological diseases but is limited by poor solubility, low bioavailability, and inability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This study used mouse brain tissue-derived exosomes as a delivery system for scutellarin. Exosomes were isolated via ultracentrifugation and loaded with scutellarin using ultrasonication, achieving a drug loading capacity of 31.86\u202fng/\u03bcg and a particle size of 90-120\u202fnm. In an in vitro BBB model, exosome-loaded scutellarin showed significantly higher penetration (41\u202f%) than the free drug (13.5\u202f%). Confocal microscopy confirmed efficient cellular uptake, particularly by microglia (98\u202f% efficiency). In vivo, exosomes accumulated and persisted in brain tissue for over 24\u202fh. In a PRV-infected microglia model, exosome-delivered scutellarin significantly inhibited viral replication and modulated microglial polarization by downregulating the pro-inflammatory marker CD86 and upregulating the anti-inflammatory marker CD206. These findings demonstrate that brain-derived exosomes enhance scutellarin delivery across the BBB and improve its anti-neuroinflammatory effects, supporting their use as drug carriers for treating neuroinflammatory diseases.\n\nID: 41378821\nTitle: Optimizing Exosome Lipid Hybrid Nanoparticles for Enhanced siRNA Delivery and Improved Therapeutic Anticancer Efficacy In Vivo.\nAbstract: Exosome lipid hybrid nanoparticles (ELNs) have emerged as promising drug delivery vehicles, integrating the innate targeting capabilities of exosomes with efficient cytosolic delivery of lipid nanoparticles. However, despite growing interest, the development of ELNs for nucleic acid delivery remains a formidable challenge, compounded by diverse production methods and a lack of systematic approaches to optimize their formulation and performance. This study employed a Box-Behnken design and two fabrication methods: freeze-thaw and sonication, to optimize the formulation of ELNs derived from exosomes of five distinct cancer cells. Formulation criteria focused on maximizing the fusion efficiency while minimizing particle size. The impact of the fusion method on cellular association and gene silencing of promising therapeutic targets, CD24, CD44, and CD47, was evaluated. The optimized formulations were subsequently assessed for therapeutic efficacy in 4T1 and B16F10 tumor models. Through careful manipulation of formulation variables, we obtained optimal ELNs with fusion efficiencies exceeding 50% and particle sizes under 170 nm while preserving exosomal markers CD9, CD63, and CD81. Cellular association studies revealed that ELNs specifically targeted their parental cell line, achieving \u223c2.5-fold higher siRNA association compared to LNPs. Furthermore, the optimized ELNs facilitated the delivery of therapeutic siRNAs, resulting in robust gene silencing and consequently improved the in vitro macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of treated cancer cells. In vivo studies using 4T1 and B16F10 tumor models highlighted the enhanced therapeutic potential of the optimized ELNs, as evidenced by significant tumor targeting and growth inhibition. These findings underscore the importance of systematic formulation and method optimization in advancing ELNs as effective nucleic acid delivery platforms for cancer therapy.\n\nID: 41357234\nTitle: Exosomes at the crossroads of HIV-1 pathogenesis and therapeutics.\nAbstract: Despite advances in antiretroviral therapy (ART), human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) remains a global health challenge, with approximately 39 million people infected worldwide, persistent viral reservoirs, and delayed immune reconstitution. Exosomes, which are extracellular vesicles (30-150 nm) that play a key role in intercellular communication, have a dual role in HIV-1 pathogenesis and therapy. Regarding pathogenesis, this review elucidates how HIV-1 exploits the exosome pathway-hijacking the Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport(ESCRT)machinery for viral budding and selectively packaging viral components, such as the accessory protein Nef, to enhance infectivity, promote immune evasion, and establish latent reservoirs. Conversely, host cells utilize exosomes to mount antiviral defense by packaging and transmitting restriction factors, such as APOBEC3G, to recipient cells. Furthermore, exosomal cargo serves as promising biomarkers for disease monitoring, and exosomes themselves are emerging as versatile therapeutic nanocarriers. We highlight that plant-derived exosomes offer unique advantages, including low immunogenicity and high scalability, for delivering next-generation antiviral agents or gene editing tools. In summary, understanding the multifaceted roles of exosomes provides crucial mechanistic insights into HIV-1 pathogenesis and unveils innovative strategies toward a functional cure.\n\nID: 41318835\nTitle: The gut-liver-virus axis in hepatitis B and C: microbiota, immunometabolism, and exosome-mediated therapeutic opportunities.\nAbstract: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections remain a major global health burden, leading to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Despite advancements in vaccination and antiviral therapies, viral persistence, immune evasion, and disease progression continue to challenge global elimination goals. Recent evidence suggests that the gut-liver-virus axis, involving microbiota dysbiosis, immunometabolic reprogramming, and exosome mediated signaling, plays a central role in HBV and HCV related pathogenesis. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar from January 2000 to August 2025. Studies were screened according to the PICO framework, focusing on HBV/HCV persistence, gut microbiota dysbiosis, immunometabolic changes, exosome-mediated communication, and therapeutic interventions. A total of 100 eligible studies, including clinical, preclinical, and mechanistic investigations, were synthesized. The analysis revealed that HBV and HCV infections remodel the gut liver axis through depletion of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) producing taxa, enrichment of pro-inflammatory bacteria, and dysregulated bile acid and lipopolysaccharide metabolism. Viral persistence is sustained by immunometabolic rewiring, including glycolysis upregulation, lipid accumulation, and tryptophan kynurenine pathway activation, leading to T-cell exhaustion and immune suppression. Exosomes derived from infected hepatocytes and tumors facilitate viral spread, immune evasion, and oncogenesis while emerging as potential biomarkers and therapeutic nanocarriers. Collectively, these interconnected mechanisms drive inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and progression to HCC. The progression of HBV/HCV infections is governed by a complex interplay of viral persistence, gut microbiota alterations, metabolic reprogramming, and exosome-mediated communication. Targeting these pathways through microbiota-directed therapies, metabolic modulators, and exosome-based interventions offers promising opportunities for precision medicine. Future studies employing multi-omics integration, validated models, and longitudinal cohorts are required to establish causality and translate mechanistic insights into effective clinical strategies for preventing HBV/HCV associated cirrhosis and cancer.\n\nID: 41229123\nTitle: Exosomes as nonviral carrier for targeted delivery of CRISPR-Cas12a for therapeutic HIV-1 proviral DNA editing.\nAbstract: Current strategies to treat HIV infection including traditional cART and immunotherapy can effectively suppress viral replication but are unable to eliminate the latent viral reservoir, particularly within circulating immune cells. Although genome editing by CRISPR-Cas provides a promising cure for HIV-1, gene delivery efficiency in vivo remains an obstacle to overcome. Here, we developed an exosome-mediated targeted CRISPR-Cas12a delivery system (EMT-Cas12a), an engineered exosome system enabling targeted delivery of mRNA of Cas12a and crRNAs to CD4+ T cells. The EMT-Cas12a system uniquely optimizes cell-specific targeting, CRISPR-Cas12a expression, crRNAs maturation, nuclear entry efficiency, accuracy cleavage with major delins and achieving dramatically HIV suppression in both cellular and humanized mouse models. Compared with single-crRNA approaches, the multiple crRNA arrays strategy demonstrates enhanced antiviral efficacy in HIV-infected mouse model, ex-vivo-expanded PBMCs from HIV+ subjects and especially in vitro cell lines without detectable HIV DNA. Critically, the system exhibits no detectable off-target effects and restores CD4+ T cell counts in vivo and ex vivo PBMCs, indicating its dual therapeutic potential for viral clearance and immune reconstitution. Altogether, in vitro and in vivo excision of HIV-1 proviral DNA can be achieved via EMT-Cas12a delivery, which could advance efforts toward human clinical trials.\n\nID: 41221627\nTitle: Dysregulation of CircZNF79(5) Modulates YBX1 Stability and Selective Autophagy to Drive Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression.\nAbstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent and aggressive liver malignancy with limited therapeutic options. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators in various cancers, including HCC, but their roles in HCC progression remain largely unexplored. Here, the role of circZNF79(5) in HCC progression and its underlying mechanisms is investigated. CircZNF79(5) expression in HCC tissues, cell lines and the serum exosomes is analyzed using qRT-PCR and FISH, and evaluated its effects on cell proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis using CCK8, colony formation, EdU, Transwell and Flow cytometry. CircZNF79(5)'s is verified to be upregulated in HCC, and found that it can promote HCC cells proliferation, migration and invasion, while inhibiting the apoptosis. Mechanistically, circZNF79(5) is found to stabilizes the oncogenic protein YBX1 by recruiting BRCC36, a K63 chain deubiquitinating enzyme, thereby preventing YBX1 from p62-mediated selective autophagic degradation via the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway. In vivo studies using subcutaneous and orthotopic tumor models confirmed that circZNF79(5) knockdown reduced tumor growth and YBX1 expression. The findings reveal a novel mechanism by which circZNF79(5) promotes HCC progression through YBX1 stabilization and selective autophagy regulation, highlighting the circZNF79(5)-YBX1-BRCC36 axis as a potential therapeutic target for HCC.\n\nID: 41157594\nTitle: Lipids, Tetraspanins, and Exosomes: Cell Factors in Orthoflavivirus Replication and Propagation.\nAbstract: The cellular membrane is a dynamic structure composed of lipids and proteins organized into specialized domains that facilitate interactions between extracellular molecules and the intracellular environment. Tetraspanins are a family of transmembrane proteins involved in diverse cellular processes, including membrane stabilization and fusion, endocytosis, extracellular vesicle formation, and the organization of proteins and lipids at specific membrane sites known as Tetraspanin-Enriched Microdomains (TEMs). These lipid-protein interactions play a critical role in the replicative cycle of Orthoflavivirus, including dengue, Zika, and West Nile, by facilitating viral entry, replication, assembly, and egress. In addition, tetraspanins also regulate the biogenesis and function of extracellular vesicles, contributing to viral dissemination, persistent infection, and immune evasion. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the structural and functional aspects of tetraspanins, their interplay with lipids, and their emerging roles in the Orthoflavivirus replicative cycle. We also discuss how these insights may inform the development of antiviral strategies targeting membrane organization and virus-host interactions.\n\nID: 41113669\nTitle: Exosome engineering for targeted therapy of brain-infecting pathogens: molecular tools, delivery platforms, and translational advances.\nAbstract: Central nervous system (CNS) infections caused by pathogens such as HIV, Herpes simplex virus, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Toxoplasma gondii remain among the most difficult to treat due to the physiological barrier posed by the blood-brain barrier (BBB), pathogen latency, and systemic toxicity associated with conventional therapies. Exosome-based delivery systems are becoming a game-changing platform that can solve these therapeutic problems using their natural biocompatibility, minimal immunogenicity, and capacity to cross the BBB. This review current developments in exosome engineering that aim to make brain-targeted therapy for neuroinfectious illnesses more selective and effective. Much focus is on new molecular methods like pathogen-specific ligand display, aptamer conjugation, lipid modification, and click-chemistry-based surface functionalisation. These methods make it possible to target diseased areas of the brain precisely. Exosomes can also carry therapeutic payloads, such as anti-viral and antifungal drugs, gene editing tools like CRISPR/Cas9 and siRNA, and more. This makes them helpful in changing pathogens' persistence and the host's immunological responses. The paper tackle problems with translation, such as biodistribution, immunogenicity, GMP production, and regulatory issues. Future possibilities like synthetic exosomes, combinatory medicines, and delivery design that uses AI. The combination of nanotechnology, molecular biology, and infectious disease therapies shows that exosome engineering offers a new way to meet the clinical needs that are not satisfied in treating CNS infections.\n\nID: 41111990\nTitle: Exploring the Therapeutic Potential: Antisense RNA Delivery Via Bacteriophage Platform.\nAbstract: Advancements in nucleic acid therapeutics have opened new avenues for treating genetic diseases, with antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) such as antisense RNA (as RNA) emerging as promising candidates. RNA medicine, targeting various RNA molecules, offers potential therapeutic interventions. RNA-based therapeutics encounter challenges like stability, delivery, and off-target effects. Advances in delivery systems, such as lipid and polymeric nanoparticles and virus-like particles, offer solutions to enhance efficacy. This review explores the mechanisms and applications of RNA therapeutics, focusing on antisense oligonucleotides. Several platforms like lipid nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, cell-penetrating peptides, exosomes, polyplexes, and virus-like particles (VLPs) for antisense RNA delivery are utilized to overcome challenges such as RNA stability and intracellular delivery. The potential of bacteriophages and VLPs as versatile delivery systems for RNA therapeutics targeting bacterial infections, biofilm eradication, cancer therapy, and viral infections is explored. Utilizing bacteriophages for targeted antisense RNA delivery improves therapeutic outcomes. Bacteriophage systems are advantageous due to ease of development, large cargo capacity, ability to carry non-DNA payloads, and relative safety, making them effective nanocarriers. The review also highlights FDA-approved ASO drugs and CRISPR-derived approaches for antibacterial and antiviral therapy. Through an in-depth analysis of platforms, mechanisms, and applications, this review provides insights into the expanding landscape of RNA therapeutics and their clinical implications.\n\nID: 41110646\nTitle: Role of exosomes in viral infections: a narrative review.\nAbstract: Exosomes are a type of extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by cells under normal and pathological conditions. These lipid-enclosed vesicles play a key role in intracellular communication by delivering various molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, thereby influencing the activity of recipient cells. In recent years, exosomes have attracted considerable attention for their involvement in viral infections and immune system evasion. Many viruses hijack the exosome biogenesis machinery to facilitate their replication, spread infection, and evade immune defenses. Therefore, gaining insights into how exosomes modulate the immune system or contribute to viral infectivity is crucial. This review explores how viral exosomes interact with host mammalian cells, highlighting their unique ability to transfer genetic material and proteins to recipient cells independent of virus-receptor interaction. Additionally, we examine the role of viral exosomes in intercellular communication, particularly how they may both promote viral infectivity and transmission, as well as participate in antiviral defense and immune regulation. Unlike previous reviews, our study integrates findings across both human and animal viral infections, critically discusses methodological standardization in exosome research, and introduces emerging therapeutic approaches such as engineered exosomes and exosome mimetics.\n\nID: 41017916\nTitle: Proteomics analysis of soluble secreted proteins of Lutzomyia longipalpis LL5 cells transfected with a dsRNA viral mimic: insights into cellular defense and repair signals.\nAbstract: Sand flies, which transmit diseases like leishmaniases, bartonellosis, and certain viruses, pose a significant public health threat. Our research focuses on the immune responses of Lutzomyia longipalpis, the primary vector for visceral leishmaniasis in the Americas. We use L. longipalpis LL5 cells as a model to study how sand flies respond to pathogens. These cells exhibit robust immune reactions, producing molecules mainly regulated by the Toll, IMD, Jak-STAT, and RNAi pathways. In previous studies, we detected a non-specific antiviral response in LL5 cells following double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) transfection. A previous complete secretome of these cells showed molecules resembling an interferon-like antiviral response when transfected with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly I:C), a synthetic dsRNA analog. In the current study, we analyzed soluble proteins secreted by LL5 cells after poly I:C transfection. Using comparative mass spectrometry, we examined protein composition of conditioned media depleted of exosomes at 24\u00a0h and 48\u00a0h. Most proteins uniquely expressed in the transfected groups had low abundance compared to the overall expressed proteins. Interactome prediction analysis revealed that at 24\u00a0h, the proteins uniquely found in the secretome of the transfected group were involved in RNA degradation and purine metabolism, while at 48\u00a0h they were linked to ribosomal proteins and signaling pathways such as Hedgehog, Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-\u03b2), and Wingless/integrated (Wnt). We highlight increased abundance of the TGF-\u03b2-induced protein ig-h3 (24\u00a0h and 48\u00a0h), a Toll-like receptor 3 (48\u00a0h), and a hemocytin (48\u00a0h) in the secretion of transfected groups compared to the controls. We also performed an interaction analysis of proteins more secreted by the treated group at 24\u00a0h and 48\u00a0h. Unlike the interactome of uniquely identified proteins, few interactions were observed at 24\u00a0h, with a predominance of extracellular matrix and cell adhesion proteins. The set of proteins more secreted at 48\u00a0h presented more interactions than at 24\u00a0h, with emphasis on catabolic processes, including RNA degradation. These findings indicate that poly I:C transfection in LL5 cells induces the secretion of proteins involved in cellular defense and repair, revealing molecules involved in the LL5 non-specific antiviral response.\n\nID: 41012666\nTitle: Integrative Mechanistic Studies Identify Reticulon-3 as a Critical Modulator of Infectious Exosome-Driven Dengue Pathogenesis.\nAbstract: The dengue virus (DENV) exploits host cell exosome pathways to disseminate and evade immunity. However, the host factors enabling this process remain poorly defined. Here, we demonstrate that DENV infection robustly induces expression of the short isoform of Reticulon 3 (RTN3S) in hepatic (Huh7) and monocytic cells, and that RTN3S is a critical driver of infectious exosome biogenesis. RTN3S physically associates with double-stranded viral RNA and the DENV non-structural protein 3 (NS3) in infected cells, indicating its integration into the viral replication complex. Loss of RTN3 markedly reduced exosome production and the exosomal export of viral RNA and proteins, demonstrating that RTN3S is required for efficient exosome-mediated viral release. Conversely, overexpression of full-length RTN3S dramatically increased the release of infectious virus-containing exosomes; truncation of the RTN3S C-terminal domain abolished this enhancement, confirming the essential role of the C-terminus in RTN3S's pro-viral exosomal function. In DENV-infected monocytes, we observed a shift toward a CD16-positive intermediate phenotype, accompanied by the upregulation of genes involved in vesicle biogenesis and stress response. These infected monocytes also secreted higher levels of inflammatory cytokines. Similarly, monocytes from Dengue patients exhibited high RTN3 expression, which correlated with an expansion of intermediate (CD16+) subsets and enriched expression of vesicle trafficking machinery genes. These findings reveal a previously unrecognized mechanism by which DENV hijacks RTN3S to promote the formation of infectious exosomes, thereby facilitating viral dissemination and immune evasion. RTN3S thus represents a novel element of the Dengue pathogenesis and a potential target for host-directed antiviral strategies.\n\nID: 41011231\nTitle: Therapeutic Potential of Bioactive Compounds in Edible Mushroom-Derived Extracellular Vesicles: Isolation and Characterization of EVs from Pleurotus eryngii.\nAbstract: Background/Objectives: Over the past twenty years, there has been a rapid increase in studies aimed at comprehending how cells communicate with each other via Extracellular Vesicles (EVs), accompanied by a heightened interest in plant-derived extracellular vesicles due to their potential relevance in dietary supplementation and therapeutic applications. However, there is a limited amount of research on extracellular vesicles derived from mushrooms (MDEVs). Among edible mushrooms, Pleurotus eryngii is peculiar due to its flavor and interesting nutritional profiling. It also produces a wide array of secondary metabolites including biologically active compounds with many health-promoting benefits such as anticancer, antioxidant, antitumor, antiviral, antibacterial, antidiabetic, and anti-hypercholesteremic activities. The aim of this work has been to isolate EVs from the fruiting body and mycelium of P. eryngii in order to investigate their potential applications as nutraceuticals. Methods: MDEVs were isolated by differential and density gradient centrifugation, characterized by Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and immunoblotting, and subjected to metabolomic and phenolic profiling. Their antioxidant potential was assessed through in vitro radical scavenging (DPPH, ABTS) and metal-reducing (CUPRAC, FRAP) assays. Results: The findings suggest that mycelium-derived EVs may represent a valuable source of high-quality MDEVs, which exhibited promising antioxidant properties in all assays conducted, particularly in radical scavenging assays. Conclusions: These results highlight the potential of P. eryngii mycelium-derived EVs as a novel natural source of bioactive compounds, paving the way for future applications in nutraceutical and therapeutic fields.\n\nID: 40999769\nTitle: Therapeutic Potential of Rose Hip-Derived Nanoparticles for Psoriatic Skin Inflammation.\nAbstract: Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease characterized by hyperproliferation of keratinocytes and excessive inflammation. Plant-derived nanoparticles (pdNPs) are promising agents for treating inflammatory skin diseases. In this study, we examined the characteristics and functions of rose hip-derived nanoparticles (RNPs) rich in various bioactive compounds. RNPs were isolated from rose hips using sucrose ultracentrifugation and characterized using NanoSight and transmission electron microscopy. Cellular uptake by HaCaT human keratinocytes was analyzed using flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Uptake mechanisms were investigated using siRNA knockdown. Proliferation, apoptosis, and cytokine expression were evaluated in a HaCaT psoriasis model. Antioxidant activity was assessed by measuring reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in stimulated HaCaT and RAW264.7 mouse macrophage-like cells. The in vivo efficacy was evaluated in a mouse model of psoriasis via intradermal injection of RNPs. The RNPs obtained via ultracentrifugation exhibited a vesicular structure of approximately 100 nm in diameter. They were efficiently taken up by HaCaT cells and inhibited excessive inflammation-induced proliferation. RNPs reduced the mRNA levels of the inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1\u03b2 and interferon-\u03b3. Additionally, RNPs were efficiently internalized by mouse macrophage-like RAW264.7 cells, decreasing the intracellular reactive oxygen species levels. The intradermal injection of RNPs effectively suppressed epidermal hyperproliferation and macrophage infiltration in an imiquimod-induced psoriasis mouse model. Collectively, these results suggest that RNPs can be used to treat psoriasis by regulating oxidative stress and inhibiting epidermal hyperproliferation. RNPs, which exerted potent effects on epidermal cells, target key pathological mechanisms such as oxidative stress and immune-driven keratinocyte proliferation. Therefore, they are promising natural therapeutic agents for psoriasis.\n\nID: 40959053\nTitle: The emerging role of extracellular vesicles in viral transmission and immune evasion.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-bound structures that serve as major mediators of intercellular communication, playing a crucial role in various physiological and pathological processes. These membrane-bound vesicles are involved in several biological processes and are essential because they play a vital role in regulating viral infections. Given the global burden of viral diseases, understanding the interaction between EVs and viruses is crucial for the development of novel diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the structure and nature of EVs, as well as their biogenesis and molecular components, distinguishing between exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies. We discuss the relationship between EVs and viral diseases, as well as their roles in viral pathogenesis and the dissemination of infections. Moreover, based on the ability of viruses to modulate host immune responses at both the innate and adaptive levels, the involvement of EVs in immune evasion is described. Additionally, the ability of EVs to diagnose viral illnesses and their therapeutic applications, such as using EVs for vaccines, immunotherapy, and the delivery of antiviral drugs, will also be discussed. Various viral diseases, including HIV, hepatitis B and C, and influenza, as well as emerging viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, are reviewed to capture the multifaceted functions of EVs in viral diseases. Finally, the review discusses the limitations of EV research, factors that affect the standardization of the technique, and the outlook for clinical applications. Based on a synthesis of current literature knowledge, this review aimed to identify and highlight the potential of EVs as diagnostic and therapeutic agents in the prevention and treatment of viral infections, thereby paving the way for further research and innovation.\n\nID: 40877516\nTitle: Bioinspired Extracellular Vesicles for Enhanced Delivery of siRNA to Tumors.\nAbstract: Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are among the most effective nanocarriers for siRNA delivery due to their high transfection efficiency, nucleic acid encapsulation capacity, and relatively low toxicity. This has led to significant interest from academic institutions and pharmaceutical companies. However, the intrinsic hepatic tropism of LNPs limits their potential for targeted siRNA delivery to tumors. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), as natural nucleic acid carriers, exhibit unique biological properties. In recent years, EVs derived from M1 macrophages have gained particular attention for tumor-targeted therapy. Bioinspired nanovesicles composed of LNPs and M1 macrophage-derived EVs may combine the advantageous characteristics of both carriers and offer a promising vehicle for siRNA delivery to tumor tissues, thus warranting further investigation. This chapter outlines a laboratory-scale method for constructing bioinspired nanovesicles. First, a range of experimental methods for screening and optimizing these nanovesicles are introduced. Then, various assessment metrics such as siRNA encapsulation efficiency, vesicle fusion efficiency, and target gene silencing efficiency are discussed. Finally, experimental designs are presented for evaluating the potential siRNA delivery capabilities of these bioinspired nanovesicles both in vitro and in vivo.\n\nID: 40806523\nTitle: Mosquito Exosomal Tetraspanin CD151 Facilitates Flaviviral Transmission and Interacts with ZIKV and DENV2 Viral Proteins.\nAbstract: The expanding distribution and geographic range of mosquitoes have potentially contributed to increased flaviviral dissemination and transmission. Despite the growing burden of flaviviral infections, there are no effective antiviral treatments or vaccines, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic targets. Tetraspanins, a superfamily of transmembrane domain glycoproteins involved in cellular organization, signaling, and protein-protein interactions have been recognized as potential mediators of flaviviral infection and transmission. While their roles in vertebrate hosts have been explored, their involvement in flaviviral replication and dissemination within medically important vectors remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the role of arthropod tetraspanins in mosquito cells and extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from cells infected with Zika virus (ZIKV) and dengue virus (serotype 2; DENV2). Among several of the tetraspanins analyzed, only CD151 was significantly upregulated in both mosquito cells and in EVs derived from ZIKV/DENV2-infected cells. RNAi-mediated silencing of CD151 led to a marked reduction in viral burden, suggesting its crucial role in flavivirus replication. Inhibition of EV biogenesis using GW4869 further demonstrated that EV-mediated viral transmission contributes to flavivirus propagation. Additionally, co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence analyses revealed direct interactions between CD151 and ZIKV NS2B and DENV2 capsid proteins. Overall, our findings highlight the functional importance of mosquito CD151 in the replication and transmission of ZIKV and DENV2. This study provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms of flaviviral infection in mosquitoes and suggests that targeting vector tetraspanins may offer a potential approach to controlling mosquito-borne flaviviruses.\n\nID: 40791337\nTitle: Abnormal Vaginal Microbiota Associated with miRNA Targeting the HIV-Host Interactome.\nAbstract: Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the ability of vaginal dysbiosis to alter the mucosal barrier to HIV acquisition is an essential step toward prevention. We hypothesized that micro(mi)-RNAs dysregulated by vaginal pathobiont bacteria epigenetically control host pathways exploited by the virus. The impact of these endogenous non-coding short RNAs on the anti-viral mucosal barrier function in the female reproductive tract is largely unknown. This study utilized cervicovaginal specimens collected during the luteal and follicular phase of the menstrual cycle along with data on age, race, ethnicity, education, and body mass index from 141 healthy reproductive-age women confirmed negative for sexually transmitted infections. Vaginal microbiota was classified by Nugent scoring. Shot-gun vaginal microbiome sequencing and metagenome taxonomic classification was performed on a subset of 21 women. Levels of miRNAs in exosomes isolated from cervicovaginal secretions were quantified using the EdgeSeq-NextGen global transcriptome platform. Differential expression (DE) was determined using R. Epigenetic target prediction was performed using MirTarBase. MiRNA profiles varied by both Nugent score categories (0-3 scores = normal, 4-6 = intermediate, and 7-10 = bacterial vaginosis, BV) and by metagenome classification. Higher microbiome diversity was associated with higher number of significantly dysregulated miRNAs (588 in BV compared to Nugent 0-3 versus 42 in Nugent 4-6 compared to Nugent 0-3, false discovery rate FDR<0.01) affecting over 400 experimentally validated genes targeted for post-transcriptional regulation. The miRNAs dysregulated by G. vaginalis -dominated compared to L. crispatus -dominated metagenomes included 24 DE miRNAs (92% overlap with BV by Nugent score) and 112 validated target genes. BV-dysregulated miRNA mediated the immunosuppressive effects of BV on cytokine levels previously associated with HIV acquisition risk. The gene ontology predictions based on BV-dysregulated miRNAs identified enrichment for 445 downregulated and 50 upregulated genes previously validated as part of the HIV-host interactome. miRNAs mediation revealed a mechanism of suppressed immunity by BV predictive of HIV risk. In conclusion, miRNAs dysregulated by vaginal dysbiosis may facilitate immune imbalance and cellular pathways associated with HIV risk.\n\nID: 40782406\nTitle: Anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis activity of 17-hydroxy-jolkinolide B by interacting with RNA polymerase.\nAbstract: Euphorbia fischeriana has been traditionally used in Chinese medicine for tuberculosis (TB) treatment since ancient times. In this study, we first report the identification of an abietane-type diterpenoid, 17-hydroxy-jolkinolide B (HJKB), from E. fischeriana, which exhibits potent antimycobacterial activity against both Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra strain and clinical isolates. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of HJKB against diverse M. tuberculosis strains range from 1 to 12\u00a0\u03bcg/mL. Notably, HJKB demonstrates significant bactericidal activity against intracellular M. tuberculosis H37Ra in macrophage models, accompanied by anti-inflammatory effects at concentrations of 2-5\u00a0\u03bcg/mL. Using a combination of chemoproteomic analysis and pull-down assays, we explored the preliminary antimycobacterial mechanism of HJKB. Results indicate that HJKB interacts with the target proteins RpoB and RpoC in M. tuberculosis H37Ra, a finding further corroborated by molecular docking studies. RpoB and RpoC are essential subunits of the DNA-directed RNA polymerase holoenzyme, which is critical for bacterial ribosomal transcription regulation. In summary, HJKB represents a bioactive constituent of E. fischeriana with anti-TB efficacy, acting as a transcription inhibitor against M. tuberculosis. This study not only elucidates its antimycobacterial mechanism but also provides a preclinical foundation for the development of natural product-based TB therapeutics.\n\nID: 40712413\nTitle: Engineering nanoplatforms of bacterial outer membrane vesicles to overcome cancer therapy resistance.\nAbstract: Resistance to cancer therapy is driven by physical barriers, tumor heterogeneity, selective therapeutic pressure, immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and others. Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) represent a promising nanotherapeutic platform to combat cancer therapy resistance. This review discusses the dual roles of OMVs in tumorigenesis and cancer therapy, highlighting their potential applications to enhance treatment efficacy. OMVs from pathogenic bacteria, such as Fusobacterium nucleatum and Helicobacter pylori, exacerbate chemoresistance by reshaping TME through hypoxia-induced metabolic reprogramming and immune evasion, while OMVs from some bacteria, such as probiotics, counteract immunosuppression by promoting cytotoxic T-cell infiltration and macrophage polarization. As bio-derived and conveniently engineered drug delivery platforms, OMVs maximize the synergetic anticancer effect by pathogen associated molecular patterns and the payloads. These functional payloads include siRNAs, cytotoxicity and molecular agents, and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Bacterial OMVs demonstrate unique advantages through their capacity to penetrate physical barriers, achieve tumor-specific targeting, activate immune responses, to overcome cancer therapy resistance. A successful example is the OMV-based nanoplatform with engineered OMVs co-delivering CD47-siRNA and doxorubicin to overcome drug resistance by inducing immunogenic cell death and dendritic cell activation of glioblastoma. Furthermore, OMV-based cancer vaccines presented with tumor antigens or hybridized with tumor-derived membranes enhance dendritic cell maturation and antigen-specific T-cell responses, reversing treatment resistance. By addressing challenges in mass production and safety concerns, OMVs-based platforms can be developed as powerful tools for more effective and personalized cancer treatments.\n\nID: 40704538\nTitle: Tethered Exosomes Containing the Matrix Metalloproteinase MT1-MMP Contribute to Extracellular Matrix Degradation.\nAbstract: For cancer cells to escape from the primary tumour and metastasize, they must degrade and navigate through the extracellular matrix (ECM). The transmembrane protease MT1-matrix metalloprotease (MMP) plays a key role in localized matrix degradation, and its overexpression promotes cancer invasion. In this study, we demonstrate that MT1-MMP is trafficked to the intraluminal vesicles of multivesicular endosomes, and subsequently released from cells on exosomes, a subtype of extracellular vesicle that can be retained to the surface of the originating cell by the anti-viral restriction factor, tetherin. Although tetherin overexpression is linked to increased cell migration and invasion in various cancers, its role in these processes remains unclear. Our findings reveal that expression of tetherin by breast cancer cells promotes the retention of MT1-MMP-positive exosomes at their cell surface, while tetherin loss enhances exosome escape and impairs ECM degradation. Thus, tethered exosomes promote the retention of MT1-MMP at the surface of cells, aiding the degradation of the ECM and promoting cancer cell invasion.\n\nID: 40600720\nTitle: M1 Macrophage-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Loaded with CX3CR1 siRNA for the Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer.\nAbstract: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a highly fatal malignancy, with inadequate therapeutic strategies and an adverse prognosis. Gene therapy raises a prospective option to overcome the challenges posed by conventional therapeutic strategies. The CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis plays a critical role in promoting tumor cell proliferation, migration, and metastasis in PDAC. Targeted delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) against CX3CR1 through M1 phenotype macrophage extracellular vesicles is a potential strategy to achieve accurate PDAC treatment. This study sought to investigate the therapeutic potential of siRNA specifically targeting CX3CR1 in PDAC via loading into extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from M1 macrophages, evaluating its therapeutic efficacy through in vitro and in vivo experiments. The results demonstrated that siCX3CR1 was successfully incorporated into extracellular vesicles originating from M1 macrophages. M1 EV/siCX3CR1 significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of AsPC-1 cells in vitro. In the AsPC-1 subcutaneously transplanted tumor model, M1 EV/siCX3CR1 also exhibited a significant tumor-suppressive effect. Overall, the loading of siCX3CR1 into M1 EVs holds promise as a potential therapeutic approach for pancreatic cancer treatment in the future.\n\nID: 40573333\nTitle: Molecular Mechanisms of Cell-to-Cell Transmission in Human Herpesviruses.\nAbstract: Members of the family Orthoherpesviridae employs two distinct transmission modes: free virion release and cell-to-cell transmission. The latter enables immune evasion through multiple mechanisms, facilitating infections in skin, mucosa, and neural tissues. This review synthesizes current knowledge on human herpesvirus cell-to-cell transmission mechanisms, including syncytium formation, tight junction exploitation, exosomal transfer, and tunneling nanotube utilization. We analyze how these strategies enhance infection efficiency, evade immune surveillance, and augment pathogenicity. Furthermore, we discuss recent intervention strategies targeting cell-to-cell transmission, including the development of monoclonal antibodies, antiviral drugs, and vaccines. These inights provide a theoretical foundation for developing novel approaches against human herpesvirus infections.\n\nID: 40506554\nTitle: The hepatocyte traffic network in the human hepatitis A virus biological cycle from an evolutionary perspective.\nAbstract: Hepatitis A virus (HAV) egresses from hepatocytes cloaked in exosomes (eHAV). However, the traffic network used for its release from polarized hepatocytes is not completely understood. We propose that eHAV biogenesis may follow not only an ESCRT-mediated pathway but also the syndecan-syntenin-ALIX pathway. The Bro1 and the V domains of ALIX bind to the pX extension of VP1 and the VP2-late domains of the unmature capsid, respectively. A Serine-to-Glycine replacement at position 134 of VP2, closely located with the first late domain, facilitates the interaction with ALIX promoting the syndecan-syntenin-ALIX pathway and improving the basolateral egress, preferentially using RAB35. This replacement is conserved in hepatoviruses infecting a wide range of mammalian species, but not in hepatoviruses infecting chimpanzees and humans. An inefficient basolateral egress could be a strategy to escape the antiviral cellular response in apes.\n\nID: 42571415\nTitle: Hyaluronic acid-engineered copper sulfide nanoparticles as immunomodulatory metal sulfide photothermal agents for macrophage-assisted osteosarcoma therapy.\nAbstract: Metal sulfide nanomaterials have emerged as promising photothermal agents for cancer therapy owing to their strong near-infrared absorption, favorable biocompatibility, and tunable surface chemistry. However, insufficient tumor accumulation and limited immunological activation remain major obstacles restricting their therapeutic efficacy in solid tumors. Herein, we report a macrophage-assisted delivery strategy based on hyaluronic acid-engineered copper sulfide nanoparticles (HA@CuS NPs) for enhanced photothermal-immunotherapy against osteosarcoma. In this system, adoptively transferred RAW264.7 macrophages were intravenously administered to increase macrophage enrichment within the osteosarcoma microenvironment, while HA@CuS NPs were rationally designed to target both tumor cells and tumor-associated macrophages through HA-mediated cellular recognition. The HA-coated CuS nanoparticles displayed good colloidal stability, efficient near-infrared photothermal conversion, and enhanced cellular uptake by osteosarcoma cells and macrophages. Importantly, macrophages acted as cellular reservoirs for CuS nanoparticles, promoting tumor accumulation and improving intratumoral photothermal distribution. Under 808-nm laser irradiation, the combined macrophage/HA@CuS treatment produced stronger tumor heating and more effective osteosarcoma ablation than HA@CuS nanoparticles alone. Beyond direct photothermal killing, HA@CuS nanoparticles also remodeled the tumor immune microenvironment by promoting M1-like polarization of tumor-associated macrophages, increasing IL-12p40 secretion, reducing IL-10 levels, and enhancing cytotoxic T lymphocyte infiltration. These immune-regulatory effects further amplified the antitumor response induced by photothermal therapy. Collectively, this study demonstrates that HA-engineered copper sulfide nanoparticles can function not only as metal sulfide photothermal agents but also as immunomodulatory nanomaterials. The integration of macrophage-assisted tumor delivery with CuS-based photothermal therapy provides a promising strategy for improving the therapeutic efficacy of metal-based nanomedicine against osteosarcoma.\n\nID: 42569466\nTitle: Single-cell transcriptome-guided biomimetic magnetothermal hydrogel microspheres for multimodal eradication of residual glioblastoma.\nAbstract: Incomplete resection and rapid postoperative recurrence remain major challenges in glioblastoma (GBM) treatment. Inspired by the self-healing microduct architecture of pine resin, we developed an injectable magnetothermal-responsive hierarchical hydrogel microsphere platform, HGM\u00a0+\u00a0Multi(+), for spatiotemporally programmed magnetothermal ablation, anti-angiogenic blockade, and targeted chemotherapy. The system integrates T7-modified, pH-responsive temozolomide nanocarriers in GelMA microspheres with bevacizumab and Fe3O4 nanoparticles in a HAMA matrix, enabling rapid magnetothermal heating and sequential dual-drug release. Cellular and release studies demonstrated receptor-mediated uptake and tumor-microenvironment-responsive drug release. In orthotopic GBM resection models, a single intracavitary administration under alternating magnetic field markedly suppressed recurrence, reducing tumor volume to approximately 5% of controls and doubling median survival. In the immunocompetent postoperative GL261/C57BL/6J model, longitudinal IVIS, H&E-based tumor area quantification, and Kaplan-Meier analysis further confirmed reduced recurrent tumor burden and prolonged survival. Single-cell transcriptomic profiling of 47,781\u00a0cells revealed extensive tumor microenvironment remodeling, including macrophage polarization toward M1-like states, alleviated T cell exhaustion, enhanced cytotoxic programs, and an approximately 37% reduction in cancer stemness. These findings were further supported by ex vivo tumor-sphere assays and reduced Sox9/Nestin expression in recurrent tumors. Intercellular communication analysis indicated strengthened antigen-presentation signaling and intensified interactions between T cells and myeloid cells. Together, the integrated therapeutic, histological, and single-cell transcriptomic data support HGM\u00a0+\u00a0Multi(+) as a versatile postoperative strategy for eliminating residual GBM and advancing intelligent biomaterials for oncology.\n\nID: 42567375\nTitle: Ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles incorporated into hydrogel matrix for enhanced oral delivery of celastrol to alleviate ulcerative colitis.\nAbstract: Celastrol (Cel), a highly promising natural product isolated from traditional Chinese medicine, exhibits potent therapeutic efficacy against ulcerative colitis (UC). Nevertheless, its poor colon-targeting efficiency, insufficient capacity to penetrate the intestinal mucus layer, and low cellular internalization significantly compromise therapeutic outcomes in UC treatment. To address these critical limitations, herein we rationally designed a exosome-hydrogel hybrid system (Cel-GDNPs@Gel) by first encapsulating Cel into ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDNPs), which were subsequently dispersed within a glycyrrhizic acid (GA) hydrogel matrix. Experimental studies confirmed that GDNPs were successfully isolated and characterized with uniform size distribution and round- or cup-shaped morphology, and Cel was successful encapsulated into GDNPs. The GA hydrogel endowed the system with excellent pH-sensitivity and robust mucoadhesive properties, thereby facilitating enhanced accumulation and prolonged retention at the colon site. Moreover, GDNPs promoted efficient mucus penetration and cellular uptake of Cel. Notably, both GDNPs and GA could exert synergistic therapeutic effects with Cel. Accordingly, in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that Cel-GDNPs@Gel significantly alleviated colitis symptoms, suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, attenuated oxidative stress, regulated macrophage polarization, promoted intestinal mucosal barrier repair, and restored intestinal homeostasis. Furthermore, this delivery system exhibited favorable biosafety with no obvious systemic toxicity. Collectively, this multifunctional Cel-GDNPs@Gel platform offers a safe and effective strategy for the oral treatment of UC.\n\nID: 42564764\nTitle: An infection-responsive multifunctional hydrogel enables potent activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and promotes wound healing.\nAbstract: Infected wounds remain a significant clinical challenge due to bacterial resistance and impaired healing. Therefore, developing effective antibacterial agents and precise delivery systems is crucial for rapid wound repair. To address this, we constructed zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles loaded with the host defense peptide-mimicking glycine-poly(2-oxazoline) (Gly-POX) and incorporated them into methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) to prepare the Gel-P@Z nanocomposite hydrogel. The hydrogel integrates the following core design elements: the pH-responsive degradation of ZIF-8 enables targeted drug release within the infected microenvironment; Gly-POX, mimicking the structure of host defense peptides, exerts membrane-disruptive antibacterial activity against MRSA, which possesses a negatively charged cell membrane, through its positively charged side chains; and the GelMA hydrogel provides a three-dimensional extracellular matrix-like scaffold that supports cell adhesion and proliferation. Gel-P@Z exhibited a slow and sustained release of Gly-POX and achieved >99% antibacterial efficacy against drug-resistant bacteria without toxicity. Moreover, Gel-P@Z promoted macrophage polarization from M1 to M2 phenotype and enhanced efferocytosis, while also facilitating fibroblast migration and inducing contraction in ex vivo fascia explants. In a murine full-thickness MRSA-infected wound model, Gel-P@Z effectively cleared bacteria, modulated the inflammatory microenvironment, and promoted both angiogenesis and collagen deposition. RNA-seq analysis revealed that Gel-P@Z accelerated healing via upregulation of the TGF-\u03b2 signaling pathway, driving fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition and promoting tissue fibrosis. This work not only proposes a novel strategy for antibacterial polymer delivery but also offers a promising solution for the management of infected wounds.\n\nID: 42561801\nTitle: Macrophage polarization-inducible cholesterol lipid-assisted nanoparticles prime systemic antitumor immunity.\nAbstract: Nanomaterials with intrinsic biological activity can directly participate in disease treatment, emerging as a pivotal focus in the development of next-generation therapeutics. In this study, we synthesized a library of cholesterol lipids bearing diverse tertiary amine head groups via a straightforward amidation reaction, then co-assembled them with amphiphilic polyethylene glycol-poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PEG-b-PLGA) to formulate hybrid nanomaterials. Notably, the cholesterol derivative A3-Chol-formulated nanomaterials (A3-Chol@NP) polarized macrophages toward the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype and enhanced phagocytosis of tumor cells. At the mechanistic level, A3-Chol@NP has been observed to preferentially interact with mitochondria in macrophages to produce mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS). This, in turn, activates ROS-NF-\u03baB-iNOS and ROS-IRF5-IL-23 pathways, which have been identified as key factors in the macrophage polarization to M1-type. In the B16-F10 mouse melanoma model, A3-Chol@NP efficiently suppressed tumor growth via macrophage-mediated immunotherapy and completely blocked tumor progression when combined with anti-PD-L1 antibody.\n\nID: 42559341\nTitle: Reshaping immune cell distribution with mRNA noncationic lipid nanoparticles for overcoming neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy resistance.\nAbstract: Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) is associated with resistance to neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), but the underlying mechanism is unclear. We identified Fn-induced SPP1\u207a macrophages as key drivers of a cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF)-mediated spatial immune barrier that restricts CD8\u207a T-cell infiltration. Mannose-modified non-cationic thiourea lipid nanoparticles (NC-TNPM) were engineered to deliver Cas9 mRNA and SPP1-targeting sgRNA to macrophages. Their therapeutic efficacy was evaluated in Fn-associated ESCC models combined with chemotherapy and anti-PD-L1 treatment. NC-TNPM achieved efficient SPP1 silencing, markedly reduced SPP1\u207a macrophages, disrupted the macrophage-CAF immune barrier, and restored intratumoral CD8\u207a T-cell infiltration. Combined with chemo-immunotherapy, NC-TNPM significantly suppressed tumor growth, enhanced cytotoxic T-cell activity, promoted macrophage repolarization, and showed no evident toxicity. Fn-induced SPP1\u207a macrophages drive immune exclusion and chemo-immunotherapy resistance in ESCC. Macrophage-targeted SPP1 editing with NC-TNPM overcomes this barrier and enhances therapeutic efficacy, highlighting a promising nanomedicine strategy for ESCC.\n\nID: 42551163\nTitle: A carrier-within-a-carrier system with calcium nanoparticles encapsulated in \u03b2-cyclodextrin-polysaccharide hydrogel for verteporfin delivery and radiosensitization in orthotopic osteosarcoma.\nAbstract: Osteosarcoma remains a clinical challenge due to its high invasiveness, early metastasis, and intrinsic radioresistance, which collectively limit the efficacy of conventional treatments and immunotherapy. Here, we developed a pH-responsive hydrogel reservoir, referred to as VP/CaNPs@Gel, by integrating verteporfin (VP)-loaded CaCO3 nanoparticles (CaNPs) into a \u03b2-cyclodextrin-crosslinked polysaccharide hydrogel to achieve precise radiosensitization and immunomodulation. The hydrogel undergoes rapid in-situ crosslinking to form a robust scaffold, ensuring the sustained and pH-triggered release of VP and Ca2+ within the tumor microenvironment. In vitro assays demonstrated that VP/CaNPs@Gel significantly amplifies radiation-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and triggers robust pyroptotic cell death. In an in vivo orthotopic osteosarcoma model, VP/CaNPs@Gel effectively suppressed tumor growth and markedly enhanced the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade under X-ray. Mechanistically, treatment induced PD-L1 upregulation, elevated systemic IL-1\u03b2, IL-18, and IFN-\u03b3 levels, promoted dendritic cell maturation and CD8+ T cell infiltration, increased M1 macrophage polarization, and reduced regulatory T cells and M2 macrophages. These shifts effectively converted the immunologically \"cold\" tumor into a \"hot\" state responsive to immune checkpoint inhibitors. This carrier-within-a-carrier strategy provides a multifunctional platform that couples potent radiosensitization with immunomodulation, offering a promising approach to overcoming radioresistance and improving therapeutic outcomes in osteosarcoma.\n\nID: 42551162\nTitle: Dual-wavelength-responsive GMMC-Pdots-Ag hydrogel for spatiotemporally controlled photothermal and hydrogen therapy of infected liver and skin defects.\nAbstract: An innovative dual-wavelength-responsive GMMC-Pdots-Ag hydrogel was fabricated for the treatment of polymicrobial-infected liver and skin defects. The hydrogel is based on a dynamic double-network architecture composed of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA), O-carboxymethyl chitosan (O-CMC), and 4-arm poly(ethylene glycol) benzaldehyde (4-arm-PEG-DF), co-loaded with PtOEP-doped T2-DPPT@NH2 polymer dots (Pdots) and L-histidine-stabilized silver nanoparticles (His-Ag NPs). Upon exposure to near-infrared (NIR) radiation at 808\u202fnm, the Pdots induce a localized photothermal effect (PTT). Combined with the weakly alkaline microenvironment and temperature increase, this effect triggers the controlled release of Ag\u207a. This dual response enables rapid antibacterial activity and biofilm eradication during the acute stage of inflammation. During the subsequent repair phase, 380\u202fnm near-ultraviolet (NUV) light activates the Pdots to catalytically produce hydrogen (H2). The generated H2 selectively scavenges cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially \u00b7OH and \u2022O2-, and inhibits M1 macrophage polarization through modulation of the NOD-associated MAPK and AP-1 signaling pathways. As a result, it exerts potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. H2 generation, together with the oxidation by-products, further promotes the release of Ag\u207a, creating a self-propagating therapeutic cycle. In vivo studies using skin and liver infection models demonstrated accelerated wound closure, reduced inflammatory infiltration, enhanced angiogenesis, and improved tissue regeneration. Biocompatibility and biosafety tests further validated the hydrogel's potential for biomedical applications. The concept of \"one material with three functions,\" integrating PTT, H2 therapy, and Ag\u207a-mediated antimicrobial activity, enables precise, stage-specific, and microenvironment-responsive intervention. This approach highlights the potential of the hydrogel as a platform for smart wound management and clinical translation.\n\nID: 42549679\nTitle: Plant-Derived Extracellular Vesicle-Like Nanoparticles and Decoction Nanoparticles Exhibit Distinct Therapeutic Effects in Alcoholic Liver Disease via Gut Homeostasis and Macrophage Regulation.\nAbstract: Nanoparticles originating from plants have attracted increasing attention owing to the excellent biocompatibility and high potential in disease prevention. Various types of plant-derived nanoparticles have been extensively studied; however, comparative investigations of different nanoparticles originating from the same plant remain limited. In this study, two types of Pueraria lobata-derived nanoparticles-extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (PLEVs) and decoction nanoparticles (DE-NPs)-were isolated, and their physicochemical properties and therapeutic activities were systematically compared. PLEVs exhibited superior resistance to digestion and showed extensive distribution to the liver, demonstrating an enhanced ability to overcome the intestinal barrier and reach the liver. In a mouse model of alcoholic liver disease (ALD), PLEVs were internalized by hepatic macrophages, promoting their polarization into anti-inflammatory M2 and scavenging intracellular reactive oxygen species. Although DE-NPs were digested by enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract, they also possessed beneficial effects by maintaining the intestinal barrier integrity and modulating gut microbiota balance. Overall, PLEVs exhibited a superior hepatoprotective effect, which was associated with the restoration of intestinal homeostasis and the attenuation of hepatic inflammation. These findings highlight the distinct delivery pathways and therapeutic mechanisms of the two Pueraria lobata-derived nanoparticles, addressing PLEVs as a promising natural nanomedicine for alleviating liver-related diseases.\n\nID: 42549310\nTitle: Freeze-Killed M2 Macrophage-Encapsulated MXene Nanocomposites for Multifunctional Photothermal Therapy in Diabetic Wound Healing.\nAbstract: Diabetic wound healing remains a significant clinical challenge because of persistent inflammation, excessive oxidative stress, and bacterial infection. This study aimed to develop a biomimetic nanocomposite with multifunctional properties of antioxidation, antibacterial activity, anti-inflammation, and pro-angiogenesis for photothermal synergistic repair of diabetic wounds. Freeze-killed M2 macrophages were used to encapsulate MXene nanoparticles to prepare a biomimetic composite material (abbreviated as MM). Its structural characteristics, protein retention, and photothermal performance were characterized and analyzed. The anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and pro-angiogenic abilities of the material were evaluated in vitro. A streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mouse wound model was established to systematically assess the effects of MM combined with near-infrared light (NIR) on wound healing, collagen deposition, and in vivo inflammation regulation. MM successfully preserved the cellular structure and functional proteins of M2 macrophages and exhibited excellent photothermal conversion performance. In vitro, it significantly inhibited pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, scavenged reactive oxygen species, efficiently eliminated Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and effectively promoted angiogenesis. In vivo experiments demonstrated that MM combined with NIR irradiation accelerated diabetic wound closure, enhanced collagen deposition, and induced macrophage polarization toward the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype, with favorable biocompatibility and no obvious toxicity at the experimental dose. Freeze-killed M2 macrophage-encapsulated MXene nanocomposites can synergistically modulate the three key pathological hallmarks of diabetic wounds: persistent inflammation, oxidative stress, and bacterial infection. Triggered by NIR, they exert potent reparative effects, offering a safe, multifunctional, and translationally promising therapeutic strategy for chronic diabetic wounds.\n\nID: 42547435\nTitle: [Effects and mechanisms of cerium-myricetin nanosystem on wound healing in rats with full-thickness burns].\nAbstract: Objective: To investigate the effects and mechanisms of cerium-myricetin nanosystem (Ce-MYR) on wound healing in rats with full-thickness burns. Methods: This study was an experimental study with a grouped design and repeated measurement design. Ce-MYR was prepared by coordination self-assembly and characterized. Mouse RAW264.7 cells were divided into control group cultured normally, hydrogen peroxide group treated with hydrogen peroxide, and low Ce-MYR group, medium Ce-MYR group, and high Ce-MYR group which were first exposed to hydrogen peroxide and subsequently treated with Ce-MYR at final mass concentrations of 5, 10, and 20 \u03bcg/mL, respectively. After 24 h of culture, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were detected using the fluorescent probe method. Mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were divided into control group cultured normally, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group treated with LPS, and Ce-MYR group treated with LPS combined with Ce-MYR. After 24 h of culture, the percentages of CD86- and CD206-positive areas in cells were calculated after immunofluorescence staining. Additional mouse BMDMs were divided into the LPS group and the Ce-MYR group, as described above. After 24 h of culture, the protein expressions of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), arginase-1 (Arg-1), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) in cells were detected by Western blotting. The sample size in all the above experiments was 4. Ten 6-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were used to establish four full-thickness burn wounds on the back of each rat, which were divided into phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) group and Ce-MYR group according to the random number table method, with 5 rats in each group. PBS or Ce-MYR was subcutaneously injected at the wound margin at post-injury days 0 (immediately), 3, and 6, respectively. The percentages of residual wound area were calculated at post-injury days 3, 7, 14, and 21. At post-injury day 21, the wound tissue of rats was collected and the number of CD31-positive blood vessels was counted after immunohistochemical staining, the percentages of CD86- and CD206-positive areas were calculated after immunofluorescence staining, and the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1\u03b2, and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: After 24 h of culture, the ROS level in RAW264.7 cells in hydrogen peroxide group was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05); the ROS level in RAW264.7 cells in medium Ce-MYR group was significantly lower than that in low Ce-MYR group (P<0.05) and significantly higher than that in high Ce-MYR group (P<0.05). After 24 h of culture, the percentage of CD86-positive area in BMDMs in Ce-MYR group was significantly lower than that in LPS group (P<0.05) and significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05); the percentage of CD206-positive area in BMDMs in Ce-MYR group was significantly higher than that in control group and LPS group (with P values both <0.05). After 24 h of culture, compared with those in LPS group, the protein expressions of HO-1 and Arg-1 in BMDMs in Ce-MYR group were significantly increased (P<0.05), whereas the protein expressions of iNOS and NLRP3 were significantly decreased (P<0.05). At post-injury days 3, 7, 14, and 21, the percentages of residual wound area in rats in Ce-MYR group were (87.1\u00b12.4)%, (65.1\u00b12.2)%, (16.6\u00b11.9)%, and (0.5\u00b10.4)%, respectively, which were significantly lower than (101.5\u00b13.5)%, (79.9\u00b13.2)%, (36.2\u00b13.9)%, and (14.5\u00b11.9)% in PBS group (with t values of 7.604, 8.478, 10.193, and 16.166, respectively, P<0.05). At post-injury day 21, compared with those in PBS group, the number of CD31-positive blood vessels in wound tissue of rats in Ce-MYR group was significantly increased (t=3.395, P<0.05), the percentage of CD86-positive area was significantly decreased (t=4.474, P<0.05), the percentage of CD206-positive area was significantly increased (t=4.713, P<0.05), and the levels of IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, and TNF-\u03b1 were significantly decreased (with t values of 3.999, 5.040, and 6.023, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusions: Ce-MYR may promote wound healing by reducing ROS levels, enhancing HO-1-related antioxidant responses in macrophages, thereby facilitating macrophage polarization from the M1 phenotype toward the M2 phenotype and improving oxidative stress and inflammatory imbalance in rats with full-thickness burn wounds. \u76ee\u7684\uff1a

42545436\nTitle: Exosome-mediated siRNA delivery in cancer: Loading strategies, targeting approaches, and therapeutic outcomes.\nAbstract: Exosome-mediated delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment, offering precise gene silencing with minimal off-target effects. Exosomes, naturally secreted extracellular vesicles, provide biocompatible carriers that protect siRNA from enzymatic degradation and facilitate efficient uptake by tumor cells. Their natural tropism, driven by surface proteins such as integrins and tetraspanins, promotes cellular adhesion and interactions within the tumor microenvironment, facilitating the delivery of therapeutic cargo. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that exosome-delivered siRNAs can suppress oncogenes, inhibit tumor growth, reverse chemoresistance, and modulate immune responses by targeting stromal and immune components. Engineering approaches, including surface functionalization and hybrid exosome-nanoparticle systems, further enhance stability, payload capacity, and tumor-homing efficiency. Combination strategies with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or phototherapy have shown synergistic effects, allowing simultaneous inhibition of survival pathways, promotion of apoptosis, and remodeling of the immunosuppressive microenvironment. Early-phase clinical studies indicate safety, effective biodistribution, and functional gene silencing, highlighting the translational potential of exosome-mediated siRNA therapeutics. Challenges such as scalable production, cargo heterogeneity, and regulatory considerations remain, but ongoing advances in exosome engineering and patient-derived vesicles are poised to overcome these barriers. This review aims to comprehensively summarize the current state, therapeutic applications, and translational prospects of exosome-mediated siRNA delivery in cancer.\n\nID: 42544440\nTitle: Mannose-modified tobacco mosaic virus-mediated macrophage regulation inhibits pulmonary fibrosis progression.\nAbstract: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic disease, causing irreversible lung scarring and respiratory failure. CD206+ M2 macrophages play a key role in its progression. In this study, we utilize the pro-inflammatory properties of plant viruses to develop a mannose-modified tobacco mosaic virus nanoparticle (TMV-OEG8-Man), which targets and reprograms profibrotic macrophages to inhibit IPF. TMV-OEG8-Man alters the CD206+ M2 macrophage phenotype in vitro, suppressing profibrotic genes (Mrc1, Spp1, Ccr2) and signaling pathways (MAPK, TGF-beta, PI3K-Akt, mTOR, Wnt), thereby reducing the transition of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts. When administered via aerosol, TMV-OEG8-Man achieves prolonged lung retention with minimal systemic exposure. In mice with bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, a single dose during fibroproliferation attenuated fibrosis progression, increasing survival rate from 50% to 100%, and preserving lung architecture. This study establishes plant viral nanoparticles as a macrophage reprogramming strategy with therapeutic potential for organ fibrosis.\n\nID: 42544276\nTitle: Magnolia biondii-Derived Exosome-Like Nanoparticles Ameliorate Ulcerative Colitis by Suppressing Inflammation, Reducing Oxidative Stress, and Modulating Gut Microbiota.\nAbstract: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory bowel disease with limited treatment options and suboptimal remission rates. Plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles have emerged as promising therapeutic agents due to their natural origin, biocompatibility, and capacity to deliver bioactive cargo. This study aimed to isolate exosome-like nanoparticles from the decoction of Magnolia biondii flower buds (Xinyi) (MFELNs) and evaluate their therapeutic potential in a murine model of UC. MFELNs were isolated from Xinyi decoction using differential centrifugation and ultracentrifugation. MFELNs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle size and potential analysis, and metabolomic profiling. The in vitro antioxidant activity was assessed by DPPH scavenging and intracellular ROS suppression assays. Anti-inflammatory effects were evaluated in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages by measuring cytokine expression and macrophage polarization via flow cytometry. The promotion of cell migration was assessed in NIH3T3 cells by scratch assay. UC was induced in C57BL/6 mice using dextran sodium sulfate (DSS), and MFELNs were orally administered daily for 14 days. Disease activity index, colon length, histopathology, colonic cytokine expression, and gut microbiota composition were evaluated. Bioinformatics analysis, molecular docking, and Western blot were performed to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. MFELNs exhibited typical exosome-like morphology with a size of 66.7 \u00b1 1.3 nm and a negative surface charge. Metabolomic profiling revealed enrichment in flavonoids, alkaloids, lignans, and phenolic acids. MFELNs demonstrated satisfactory biocompatibility and gastrointestinal stability. In vitro, MFELNs scavenged DPPH radicals, suppressed H2O2-induced ROS generation, downregulated LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-\u03b1, IL-1\u03b2, IL-6), restored IL-10 expression, and promoted macrophage polarization from M1 to M2 phenotype. In vivo, MFELNs attenuated DSS-induced body\u2011weight loss, reduced DAI scores, prevented colon shortening, and alleviated histopathological damage. MFELNs downregulated colonic pro-inflammatory cytokines and restored IL-10 expression. Gut microbiota analysis revealed that MFELNs restored the DSS-elevated Firmicutes/Bacteroidota ratio without significantly affecting \u03b1-diversity. Bioinformatics screening identified four potential bioactive components (sesamin, litsoeine/laurotetanine, demethylwedelolactone, and armepavine) that target SRC. Molecular docking demonstrated favorable binding between these components and SRC, while Western blot confirmed that MFELNs suppressed the SRC/NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. MFELNs represent a novel class of decoction-derived exosome-like nanoparticles that ameliorate UC through integrated anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and microbiota-modulating mechanisms. Their therapeutic effects are mediated, at least in part, through suppression of the SRC/NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. These findings position MFELNs as a promising natural nanotherapeutic strategy for UC and support the concept that self-assembled nanoparticles formed during herbal decoction constitute an important material basis for the efficacy of traditional Chinese herbals.\n\nID: 42538939\nTitle: Combination siRNA delivery as a therapeutic strategy for ADPKD.\nAbstract: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic kidney disease worldwide, characterized by progressive cyst growth and inflammation, yet effective targeted therapies remain limited. Here we show that TMEM16A and MCP-1, key mediators of cyst-lining epithelial expansion and inflammatory macrophage recruitment respectively, are consistently upregulated in cyst-lining collecting duct (CD) epithelia across murine, porcine, and human ADPKD models. In human ADPKD patient cells, although individual silencing of TMEM16A or MCP-1 transcripts reduced cyst growth, combined silencing produced superior therapeutic efficacy, establishing the rationale for evaluating dual-target delivery. To achieve dual gene silencing in the kidneys, we delivered Tmem16a and Mcp-1 siRNA using peptide amphiphile micelles (PAMs), an ultrasmall nanoparticle platform that enables efficient renal targeting. To redirect siRNA-loaded PAMs to CD epithelia, we functionalized their surface with a CD-targeting peptide (CDM), which enabled preferential accumulation in cyst-lining CD epithelia. In an inducible Pkd1-deficient mouse model, co-delivery of CDMs loaded with Tmem16a and Mcp-1 siRNA reduced kidney enlargement, cystic burden, tubular injury, and macrophage infiltration, with efficacy exceeding non-targeted siRNA delivery at equivalent doses. CDM demonstrated enhanced uptake in primary human ADPKD patient-derived CD cells and dual gene silencing reduced target gene expression and cyst expansion, establishing translational relevance. These findings establish CD peptide-functionalized micelles as a route to cell-type-selective RNAi in the kidney, delivering siRNA to cyst-lining CD cells. Furthermore, because both targets, TMEM16A and MCP-1, are transcribed within CD cells, our siRNA-loaded CD-targeting micelles silence two drivers of cyst expansion, and their simultaneous suppression represents an effective therapeutic strategy for ADPKD.\n\nID: 42536443\nTitle: Liver sinusoidal endothelium mediates systemic clearance of ultrasmall gold nanoparticles through secretion of circulating exosomes.\nAbstract: Liver sinusoidal endothelium featuring a unique discontinuous lining and robust endocytic activity is vital for nanoparticle retention, clearance, and translocation. However, liver sinusoidal endothelium-mediated nanoparticle elimination remains far less understood than liver macrophage uptake despite both processes being involved in hepatic detoxification. Using water-soluble Au25(o-MBA)18 (o-MBA: o-mercaptobenzoic acids) with optimized local hydrophobicity for weak protein-binding affinity and high endothelium targeting as probes, we report an exosome-mediated systemic clearance for endocytosed nanoclusters in sinusoidal endothelial cells. Au25(o-MBA)18 can effectively avoid phagocytosis by liver macrophage, are initially endocytosed by sinusoidal endothelial cells through clathrin-dependent endocytosis, processed through endosomal pathways, and released as exosomes containing nanoclusters into the bloodstream. During the exosome biogenesis, Au25(o-MBA)18 progressively transform into flower-like aggregates (approximately 100 nm). These circulating exosomes traverse the glomerular membrane through autophagy in glomerular endothelial cells and podocytes before urinary excretion. Here, this exosome-mediated pathway converts exogenous ultrasmall gold nanoparticles into biocompatible endogenous exosome-enveloped cargos for systemic circulation with reduced toxicity, providing a foundation for developing next generation of safe and effective nanomedicines.\n\nID: 42535940\nTitle: Metabolic Reprogramming by Engineered Probiotics Potentiates Tumor Chemodynamic Immunotherapy.\nAbstract: Engineered bacteria hold promise for remodeling immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments through innate immunogenicity and localized therapeutic delivery. While bacterial-derived metabolites are increasingly recognized as key mediators, their specific roles in interkingdom crosstalk remain underexplored. Here, we develop a programmable probiotic platform leveraging Lactobacillus gasseri (LG)-tumor metabolic interplay to potentiate bladder cancer therapy. The selected LG strain demonstrates superior tumor-colonizing ability and intrinsic H2O2/lactate biosynthesis, creating an optimal tumor microenvironment for hemoglobin-modified MnOx nanoparticles to enhance chemodynamic therapy efficacy. Mechanistically, microbial metabolites, including L-leucine, orchestrate neutrophil phenotypic reprogramming by suppressing pro-angiogenic dcTRAIL-R1+ neutrophils while activating antigen-presenting CD74+ neutrophil populations. The engineered system elicites coordinated immunomodulation through multiple mechanisms: (1) promoting dendritic cell maturation, (2) increasing CD74+ neutrophil populations, (3) inducing macrophage polarization from M2 to M1 phenotypes, and (4) enhancing tumor infiltration of CD8+ T cells and natural killer cells. This study reveals that bacteria-tumor metabolic crosstalk upregulates beneficial metabolites, notably leucine, which promotes phenotypic reprogramming of neutrophils toward the antigen\u2011presenting CD74+ subset, thereby bridging innate metabolic regulation with adaptive antitumor immunity. This finding goes beyond the material-centric logic of previous probiotic-nanomaterial systems and establishes a metabolism-centric framework for bacteria\u2011mediated cancer immunotherapy.\n\nID: 42535315\nTitle: AIEgen-Based Biomimetic Nanoplatform for Targeted Synergistic Sonodynamic Therapy and Macrophage Reprogramming of Hyperhomocysteinemic Atherosclerosis.\nAbstract: The instability and subsequent rupture of atherosclerotic plaques are driven primarily by the progressive enlargement of the lipid-rich necrotic cores coupled with local macrophage dysfunction, which readily trigger life-threatening acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Homocysteine serves as an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. Here, we developed a synergistic nanotherapeutic strategy for hyperhomocysteinemic atherosclerosis (HHcy-AS) by simultaneously targeting foam cells and diseased macrophages. Specifically, an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) sonosensitizer TTPY-COOH was encapsulated into OPN antibody-modified polymer nanoparticles to form TP-Ab cores, which were then co-loaded with dexamethasone into ROS-responsive platelet membrane-liposome hybrid vesicles, yielding the final nanodrug TP-Ab/Dex@PL. Following intravenous injection, this nanoplatform utilizes platelet membranes to precisely target atherosclerotic plaques, where it rapidly disassembles within the high ROS environments. The released TP-Ab cores selectively deliver TTPY-COOH to foam cells via specific antibody recognition, where subsequent ultrasound-triggered sonodynamic therapy induces cellular apoptosis. Meanwhile, locally released dexamethasone exhibits a robust anti-inflammatory effect and reprograms M1 macrophages into the M2 phenotype, enhancing their efferocytosis for apoptotic foam cells. In an HHcy-AS mouse model, TP-Ab/Dex@PL treatment significantly reduced plaque burden and improved plaque stability. This multifunctional nanoplatform integrates sonodynamic therapy, anti-inflammatory effects, and macrophage reprogramming, offering\u00a0potential\u00a0for the precise clinical treatment of atherosclerosis.\n\nID: 42534908\nTitle: High-resolution mapping of chromatin conformation in HBeAg-treated macrophage provides insights into pathogenesis of HBV-related liver diseases.\nAbstract: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) e antigen (HBeAg) plays a critical role in inducing macrophage activation and subsequent immune tolerance, which facilitates viral immune escape. However, the underlying spatial 3D genomic and epigenetic mechanisms driving this macrophage dysfunction remain largely unknown. To map the topological and transcriptional regulatory landscape, we integrated RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq), high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C), and chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) to comprehensively analyze control and HBeAg-stimulated macrophages. Key findings were cross-validated using human HBV-infected datasets. HBeAg robustly activated pro-inflammatory transcriptional programs, prominently featuring the TNF signaling pathway as a central node. Hi-C analysis revealed profound global 3D chromatin reorganization accompanying this phenotypic shift. Specifically, inactive-to-active (B-to-A) compartment switching, coupled with de novo H3K27ac enhancer accumulation, directly drove the upregulation of functional genes such as MET and FHOD3. Furthermore, topologically associating domain (TAD) restructuring, particularly TAD merging, exposed new regulatory elements to upregulate FLNB and SESN2. Conversely, the disruption of specific intrachromosomal loops resulted in the targeted downregulation of genes like KBTBD11 and BLVRB. Mechanistically, targeted epigenetic reprogramming drove this 3D structural rewiring: H3K27ac enhancer deposition was enriched for AP-1/STAT motifs, CTCF coordinated with FOX-family factors to alter structural boundaries, and HLTF mediated targeted H3K27me3-associated gene silencing. HBeAg orchestrates a highly coordinated hierarchical restructuring of the 3D genome and targeted epigenetic reprogramming to induce macrophage dysfunction. The identified structural variants and core spatial-target genes (such as MET, FLNB, and BLVRB) provide novel mechanistic insights and represent potential therapeutic targets for HBV-related liver diseases.\n\nID: 42533867\nTitle: Dynamic Profiling and Screening of Cancer Starvation-Immunotherapy Regimens via a Cross-Referencing Multispectral Upconversion and Tomographic Photoacoustic Imaging Nanoprobe.\nAbstract: Combining tumor-associated macrophage (TAM)-targeted immunotherapy with starvation therapy represents a promising strategy for enhancing antitumor efficacy. Energy metabolism and nitrosative stress represent two key metabolic pathways that can effectively guide the efficacy of the combination of TAM-targeted immunotherapy and starvation therapy. However, methods capable of simultaneously profiling of the dynamic interplay between energy metabolism and nitrosative stress during cancer starvation-immunotherapy (CSI) remains challenging. Here, we report a TAM-targeted dual-mode nanoprobe, NNDA, for real-time imaging of energy metabolism and M1-like TAM-mediated nitrosative stress during CSI. The nanoprobe was designed to comprise NAD(P)H-sensitive dye Glu-RB and NO-responsive dye CY-NO assembled on the surface of upconversion nanoparticles, showing excellent selectivity and sensitivity to energy metabolism-associated NAD(P)H and nitrosative stress-associated NO with two independent NIR photoacoustic (PA, 710/1064\u00a0nm) and upconversion luminescence (UCL, 660/800\u00a0nm) channels. In vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that NNDA accurately tracked metabolic reprogramming and TAM repolarization, revealing that CSI regimens sustain nitrosative stress under energy suppression. Importantly, the ratio R-PA1064/PA710 serves as an early prognostic indicator of treatment outcome, displaying strong correlation with tumor growth inhibition. This work provides a cross-referencing imaging tool for dynamically deciphering metabolic-immune crosstalk, facilitating the screening and optimization of synergistic anticancer therapies.\n\nID: 42532147\nTitle: Bivalent gambogic acid-functionalized curcumin nanoparticles with insulin modulate the gut-liver-kidney network in type 2 diabetes.\nAbstract: The gut-liver-kidney (GLK) network is a critical driver of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complications, where gut dysbiosis triggers cycle of hepatic metabolic stress and subsequent renal dysfunction through a complex, bidirectional signaling crosstalk. Despite its importance, therapeutic strategies capable of addressing this multi-organ crosstalk remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate that bivalent functionalized curcumin-encapsulating PLGA nanoparticles (nGA2-CUR) combined with subcutaneous insulin beneficially modulate the GLK network in obese T2DM mice. This combination therapy successfully stabilized systemic glucose homeostasis and restored essential endocrine signaling (insulin, GLP-1, and GIP) while significantly suppressing pro-inflammatory markers (MCP-1, haptoglobin). Microbiome profiling revealed a suppression of pathobionts alongside distinct sex-specific restorative responses, where males exhibited Muribaculaceae enrichment while females showed Bifidobacterium expansion. Integrated liver metabolomics associated these microbial shifts with unique organ-specific repair responses in each sex. Males showed elevated levels of purine salvage pathway intermediates alongside suppression of a specific pathobiont cluster (including Lautropia and Porphyromonas) correlated with oxidative stress, whereas females replenished aromatic amino acids, consistent with reduced predicted microbial proteolytic potential and lower markers of nephrotoxic uremic toxin production. Molecular analysis confirmed the downregulation of glucose-sensitive pathways (Chrebp/Srebp-1c). These systemic improvements were accompanied by an anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage profile shift, alongside suppression of renal fibrosis via the TGF\u03b2/SMAD network and reduced injury markers (Cystatin C and Osteopontin). Our findings suggest that by reshaping the gut microbiome to alleviate upstream hepatic metabolic burden, this nanoparticle-enhanced therapy provides a sex-specific framework for attenuating irreversible diabetic renal injury.\n\nID: 42530767\nTitle: Clinical OCT computation-modeled prognosis of coronary plaque progression with validation by fusogenic macrophage nano-targeting.\nAbstract: Coronary plaque progression often deviates from the diagnostic range of clinical examinations, resulting in the need for emergent follow-ups and increased mortality among outlier patients. This study first analyzes clinical data of fractional flow reserve, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and computed tomography from 180 patients over a 9\u00a0years period, with an average follow-up of 2 years. When the plaque progression and healthy control groups were compared in a 1:1 match (n = 10 each), analysis of single artery images failed to detect plaque progression. Therefore, 100-200 image frames were used to reconstruct patient-specific coronary anatomy using computational fluid dynamics, enabling prognostic assessment of plaque progression. The results suggest that steep plaque slopes promote plaque progression by increasing shear stress and hemodynamic disturbance accompanied by greater macrophage recruitment than gentle slopes, which was validated by a microfluidic model. Moreover, increased activation and fusogenic potential of macrophages in steep plagues justified the development of fusogenic macrophage (FM)-vesicles to detect plaque progression. The fusion potential enables FM-vesicles to self-target fusogenic macrophages more efficiently than in vitro compared to macrophages, showing superiority over liposomes and macrophage-vesicles. The membrane fusion mechanism facilitates lysosomal escape, allowing prolonged cytosolic retention without degradation. Rabbit carotid ligation was used to produce steep and gentle plaques by controlling the incision direction. When gold nanoparticles were loaded into FM-vesicles and injected into these arteries ex vivo, OCT accurately imaged the plaque slope and detected changes in signal intensity. This study presents the translational potential of FM-vesicles for clinical application by reducing diagnostic outliers in the detection of plaque progression.\n\nID: 42527963\nTitle: A Cathepsin-Triggered Size-Shrinkable Nanoparticle Enhances Fibrous Cap Penetration to Relieve Atherosclerosis.\nAbstract: In the microenvironment of atherosclerosis (AS), excessive migration of vascular smooth muscle cells led to the formation of a thick fibrous cap. This structure acted as a physical barrier and hindered efficient drug delivery to lesional macrophages. An optimal strategy for balancing long circulation with effective penetration involved the use of size-tunable nanoformulations. Leveraging highly expressed cathepsin K (CTSK) in atherosclerotic plaques, this work reported CTSK-responsive, size-shrinkable nanoparticles (PDE@Mn3O4/SIM) by encapsulating trimanganese tetraoxide (Mn3O4) and simvastatin (SIM) within CTSK-cleavable block copolymers (PDE) to achieve controlled drug release and deep penetration within plaque sites. The resulting nanoparticles underwent rapid degradation and released smaller Mn3O4 nanozymes, facilitating penetration into plaque macrophages. In vitro, the nanoparticles reduced reactive oxygen species levels and enhanced cholesterol efflux in macrophages. More importantly, they prolonged blood circulation and selectively accumulated in atherosclerotic plaques with high enzyme expression. They also markedly decreased macrophage infiltration and lipid deposition in plaques of AS mouse models. Collectively, these findings indicated that nanoparticles with CTSK-responsive and size-regulating properties achieved deep plaque penetration and precise macrophage targeting, serving as an effective anti-atherosclerotic therapeutic strategy. HIGHLIGHTS: 1 Utilizing endogenously overexpressed cathepsin K in plaques as a biological stimulus could achieve precise and on-demand drug release. 2 By taking advantage of the size restriction imposed by fibrous caps, we designed microenvironment-adaptive and size-transformable nanoparticles for deep penetration. 3 Co-delivery of Mn3O4 nanozyme and SIM elicited synergistic antioxidative, antiinflammatory and lipid-modulating activities to combat atherosclerosis.\n\nID: 42526496\nTitle: Comparative study of the bioactive PLGA/CaP composites: the influence of 3D structure on inflammatory and osteoinductive properties.\nAbstract: We aimed to develop a composite poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)/calcium phosphate nanoparticles scaffold with the optimal three-dimensional structure to provide an environment for bone tissue regeneration. Composite PLGA-based scaffolds with the inclusion of 15% hydroxyapatite (HA) and \u03b2-tricalcium phosphate (\u03b2-TCP) nanoparticles, as well as scaffolds with the addition of 15% xenogeneic bone chips, and with different pore diameters were prepared by a solvent casting with particle leaching method. Synthesized HA and \u03b2-TCP nanoparticles were characterized using X-ray phase analysis and atomic force microscopy. The scaffold morphology was studied with electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The scaffold biocompatibility, immunogenicity, inflammatory and osteoinductive properties were investigated in vitro using dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), human lymphocyte culture, and RAW 264.7 mouse macrophage cells.
Among the investigated samples, the PLGA/ \u03b2-TCP scaffold showed the highest osteoinduction, and the scaffold with 530 \u00b1 56 \u03bcm average pore diameter demonstrated the highest expression of osteodifferentiation marker genes in DPSCs. Furthermore, the addition of nanoparticles into the polymer matrix led to the decrease in the expression of pro-inflammatory genes in macrophages. PLGA with 15 % \u03b2-TCP and 530 \u00b1 56 \u03bcm pore size had the best bioactivity among the tested scaffolds in vitro, and it could be considered as a potential candidate for bone tissue engineering applications.\n\nID: 42526161\nTitle: A 3D-printed PCL/Ta/Sr-HA composite scaffold enhances osteogenesis and modulates macrophage phenotypic responses.\nAbstract: Complex bone defects present a persistent clinical challenge. Three-dimensional (3D) printing offers a feasible approach for fabricating scaffolds with tailored architectures. In this study, we engineered a series of 3D-printed composite scaffolds by sequentially incorporating tantalum nanoparticles (Ta) and strontium-doped hydroxyapatite (Sr-HA) into a polycaprolactone (PCL) matrix, creating four experimental groups: PCL, PCL/Ta, PCL/Ta/HA, and PCL/Ta/Sr-HA. The scaffolds were evaluated for physicochemical properties, rBMSC osteogenic responses, and macrophage marker expression. The PCL/Ta/Sr-HA composite improved rBMSC adhesion and osteogenic differentiation compared with PCL, PCL/Ta, and PCL/Ta/HA scaffolds. In macrophage-response assays, the PCL/Ta scaffold was associated with a more pro-inflammatory macrophage profile, whereas Sr-HA incorporation shifted the response toward an anti-inflammatory M2-like phenotype. In a rat cranial defect model, the PCL/Ta/Sr-HA scaffold was associated with greater bone regeneration at 4 weeks. A murine subcutaneous implantation model also indicated increased M2 macrophage presence around the PCL/Ta/Sr-HA implants. These effects may be related to the improved surface wettability, increased nanoscale roughness, and sustained Sr2\u207a release of the PCL/Ta/Sr-HA scaffold. These findings suggest that Sr-HA incorporation may improve the osteogenic performance of PCL/Ta scaffolds while shifting early macrophage responses toward a CD206-positive, M2-like profile.\n\nID: 42525789\nTitle: Targeting therapeutic nanoparticles to the glioblastoma resection margin by harnessing postoperative blood-brain barrier disruption.\nAbstract: Resection surgery is the first-line therapy for high-grade glioma performed in >70% of patients with glioblastoma, typically within days of suspected diagnosis. Current protocols for follow-on chemoradiotherapy have shown only modest efficacy in eliminating residual disease, leading to inevitable tumor recurrence. There remains a need for approaches to swiftly and effectively treat postoperative residual disease to prevent the rapid early progression of glioblastoma. Using syngeneic preclinical mouse models of glioblastoma resection, we identified spatially and temporally restricted windows of blood-brain barrier disruption localized to the resection margin during the immediate (0\u00a0hours) and early (48 to 72 hours) postoperative periods. Intravenous administration of fluorescently labeled, clinically used liposomal nanoparticles during these periods revealed selective accumulation at the postoperative resection margin, with minimal penetration into other regions of the brain with an intact blood-brain barrier. Immunohistological analysis confirmed nanoparticle extravasation in the margin parenchyma, largely interacting with microglial and macrophage populations closely associated with residual tumor cells. Exploiting this, we performed intravenous administration of doxorubicin-loaded liposomes coinciding with the peaks of postoperative blood-brain barrier disruption and demonstrated both enhanced chemotherapy delivery to the brain and, consequently, inhibition of tumor recurrence from a single administration across two glioblastoma models. Overall, this work identifies therapeutically exploitable windows of postoperative blood-brain barrier disruption and demonstrates that appropriately coordinated timing can enable clinically used liposomal nanomedicines to be repurposed for early postoperative therapy in aggressive brain tumors.\n\nID: 42523672\nTitle: Osteoimmunological impacts of micro/nanoplastics: systemic translocation, inflammatory responses, and bone remodeling disruption.\nAbstract: Ingested environmental micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) may represent an emerging systemic health concern. Although toxicological research has mainly focused on the gastrointestinal tract, increasing evidence suggests that the highly vascularized bone marrow may also be a relevant site for MNP accumulation. This narrative review proposes a \"gut-immune-bone\" axis linking intestinal barrier disruption, systemic translocation, and potential deposition within the bone marrow niche. Current experimental evidence, together with limited human detection data, suggests that MNPs may disturb osteoimmunological homeostasis by impairing osteogenesis and promoting macrophage-associated osteoclastogenesis, thereby favoring bone remodeling imbalance. We summarize potential mechanisms, including oxidative stress, nuclear factor-\u03baB (NF-\u03baB) signaling, NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation, gut microbiota dysbiosis, endocrine disruption, and MNP-heavy metal co-exposure. We also discuss susceptible pediatric and geriatric populations and highlight the need to incorporate osteoimmunological endpoints into future MNP risk assessment.\n\nID: 42523311\nTitle: High-Density Wild-Type IL-2 Nanoparticles Preferentially Enhance CD8\u207a T-Cell Expansion and Reprogram the Tumor Microenvironment.\nAbstract: Low response rates to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in solid tumors are often driven by insufficient tumor-infiltrating CD8\u207a T cells and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Although interleukin-2 (IL-2) potently expands and activates CD8\u207a T cells, its clinical use is limited by rapid clearance, dose-limiting toxicity, and regulatory T cell (T reg ) stimulation. Engineered IL-2 variants have not yet achieved meaningful clinical efficacy. Here, polymer-modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles displaying dense, unmodified wild-type IL-2 on their surface (IL2-NP) are developed, conferring proteolytic stability and tumor retention. IL2-NP enables avidity-mediated CD8\u207a T cell binding and enhances proliferation and effector function without increased T reg binding or proliferation. Intratumoral IL2-NP expands CD8\u207a T cells, increases CD8\u207a/T reg ratios, and reprograms TME through dendritic cell activation and M1-like macrophage polarization. IL2-NP induces regression of both treated and untreated distant colorectal tumors in a CD8\u207a T cell-dependent manner. IL2-NP synergizes with ICIs and leads to complete tumor regression and immunological memory that protect against rechallenge. Treatment is well tolerated, with strong efficacy also observed in triple-negative breast and metastatic ovarian cancer models. Overall, intratumoral IL2-NP elicits robust systemic antitumor immunity, offering a promising strategy to enhance ICIs, cancer vaccines, and adoptive T-cell therapies. This work introduces a nanoparticle platform that overcomes major shortcomings of IL-2 immunotherapy by presenting wild-type IL-2 at high density on the nanoparticle surface, thereby increasing binding avidity to effector T cells. The resulting IL-2 nanoparticles enhance cytotoxic T cell expansion, reprogram the tumor microenvironment, and augment responses to immune checkpoint blockade to achieve robust ant-tumor immune response in mouse tumor models.\n\nID: 42522687\nTitle: Functional Engineered Exosomes Loaded with Nanoenzymes Targeting the Proteasome and Inflammation for the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis.\nAbstract: Mesenchymal stem cell -derived exosomes (MSCs-EXO) have been increasingly studied due to their high biosafety and excellent drug delivery properties. The use of MSCs-EXO as drug carriers for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been reported. However, conventional exosomes cannot target the damaged area, significantly reducing their therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, this study proposes a strategy for the rational design of exosomes derived from genetically engineered mesenchymal stem cells, enabling them to target the inflammatory storm in the affected limb, regulate the immune microenvironment, and release similar to superoxide dismutase (SOD-like) and similar to catalase (CAT-like) nanoparticles to eliminate Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species (RONS). RA provides a therapeutic platform for disease repair. MSC transduced with a lentivirus and carrying the anchoring peptide IL-4R\u03b1 secrete exosomes containing this peptide (IL-4.EXO), which demonstrates excellent targeting ability. These exosomes encapsulate Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB@IL-4.EXO), forming a synergistic composite exosome delivery system targeting inflammation sites, antioxidant stress, and promoting cartilage joint repair. Micro-CT shows a reduction in cartilage damage. Proteomics confirmed that it inhibits inflammation by affecting the proteasomal pathway through suppression of the PSMD4 protein. This exosome combines regulation of inflammation and antioxidant stress, offering a new therapeutic strategy for RA.\n\nID: 42522197\nTitle: Mechanosensitive ion channels in immunity from biophysics to mechanomedicine.\nAbstract: Immune cells operate within a dynamic mechanical environment. Shear stress, matrix stiffness, membrane tension, and cellular traction continuously shape their fate and function. Mechanosensitive ion channels (MSICs) are the convergent molecular transducers of these forces. Five families dominate immune mechanotransduction: Piezo, TRPV4, K2P/TREK, TMEM63/OSCA, and ENaC. Each converts mechanical input into Ca2+ and K+ fluxes that drive the transcriptional and effector programs governing immune cell behavior. Two organizing principles that have emerged from the past decade of work structure this review. First, MSICs act as mechanical immune checkpoints. Their gating state controls T-cell, NK-cell, and dendritic-cell function in stiff tumor stroma. This parallels the chemical checkpoints exploited by current immunotherapies. Second, MSICs display context-dependent functional polarity. The same channel produces opposite outputs depending on the magnitude, geometry, and time scale of the mechanical input. PIEZO1 has been reported to promote T-cell activation under physiological shear in some experimental settings but restrain cytotoxicity in stiff stroma in others. It drives a pro-inflammatory macrophage phenotype in atherosclerosis but a tissue-reparative phenotype in sepsis. It restrains ILC2s acutely but drives type-2 pathology chronically. We integrate these principles with the structural biophysics of MSIC gating, contrasting force-from-lipid and force-from-filament mechanisms. We then trace MSIC function across macrophages, microglia, T cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, neutrophils, B cells, and innate lymphoid cells. We connect this biology to the emerging mechanomedicine toolkit: sonogenetics, magnetogenetics, force-responsive nanoparticles, organ-on-chip platforms, and engineered cellular therapies. Together, mechanical immune checkpoints and context-dependent polarity reframe immunity as a force-programmable system. This view positions MSICs as translational substrates for next-generation immunotherapies in cancer, autoimmunity, fibrosis, and chronic inflammation.\n\nID: 42521411\nTitle: In situ generation of proinflammatory CAR macrophages via mRNA-TLR agonist co-delivery for triple-negative breast cancer immunotherapy.\nAbstract: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) macrophage therapy shows significant potential for solid tumors owing to the intrinsic tumor infiltration and phagocytic capacity of macrophages. However, its clinical translation is limited by macrophage phenotypic plasticity within the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and the complexity of ex vivo cell manufacturing. It is essential to develop techniques that enable macrophages to be activated specifically by antigens while sustaining their proinflammatory activity in vivo. Here, we report a mannose-modified lipid nanoparticle (LNP) platform for the co-delivery of CAR-encoding messenger RNA (mRNA) and the Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7/8 agonist resiquimod (R848), enabling in situ generation of proinflammatory CAR macrophages. In vitro, we assessed macrophage-preferential uptake, CAR expression efficiency, TLR7/8 agonist-mediated macrophage polarization, and immune activation. In vivo efficacy was assessed in syngeneic and humanized mouse models of triple-negative breast cancer, including postoperative recurrence and lung metastasis models. Systemic administration of M-LNP/CAR+R848 induced robust CAR expression in tumor-associated macrophages and promoted sustained M1 polarization. Engineered macrophages exhibited enhanced antigen-specific phagocytic activity and tumor cell clearance, and promoted CD8+ T\u2009cell proliferation and NK cell infiltration, thus coordinating innate and adaptive immune responses. Functional macrophage depletion experiments demonstrated that tumor control was dependent on macrophages. In vivo treatment significantly reduced the growth of primary tumors, prevented postoperative recurrence, and prolonged survival in mice with lung metastases in both syngeneic and humanized models. Our findings demonstrate that M-LNPs enabling co-delivery of mRNA and an innate immune agonist enable in situ generation of proinflammatory CAR macrophages and induce durable antitumor immunity. This controllable and non-integrative strategy allows tunable immune activation, provides a flexible platform for CAR macrophage-based immunotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer.\n\nID: 42518692\nTitle: Tea egg-inspired high mechanical strength hydrogel microneedle patch combined with tea polyphenol-magnesium nanoparticles promotes spinal cord injury repair.\nAbstract: Restoring motor function remains a primary goal in the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the inflammatory microenvironment that develops after injury poses a significant barrier to effective neural repair. Addressing this challenge requires the development of bioactive scaffolds with potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, as well as reduced implantation-induced damage. In this study, we created a novel composite biomaterial scaffold with high mechanical strength and excellent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capabilities by dispersing in situ self-assembled tea polyphenol-magnesium nanoparticles (TPs-Mg NPs) into gelatin methacryloyl hydrogel (GelMA) microneedle patches (TPs-Mg MN). Our results demonstrate that TPs-Mg MN effectively modulates the inflammatory response by promoting macrophage polarization through suppression of the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway, thereby alleviating reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated oxidative damage. Following implantation in a rat SCI model, TPs-Mg MN significantly enhanced motor functional recovery. Behavioral analyses revealed that this recovery was achieved through multiple mechanisms, including reduced oxidative stress, inflammation, and scar formation at the injury site, as well as enhanced angiogenesis and neurogenesis within the spinal cord tissue. This study presents a multifunctional combinatorial strategy for mitigating ROS-induced oxidative stress, offering broad potential applications in SCI and other central nervous system disorders.\n\nID: 42517664\nTitle: Multifunctional Polyphenol-Polymer Nanocomposite Hydrogel Targeting Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Infection in Diabetic Wounds.\nAbstract: Chronic diabetic wounds are characterized by prolonged inflammation, elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS), impaired angiogenesis, and delayed healing, often leading to tissue necrosis and amputation. Conventional wound dressings rarely address oxidative stress, dysregulated inflammation, bacterial infection, and local hyperglycemia simultaneously. Here, we developed a multifunctional nanoplatform consisting of tannic acid (TA)-complexed chitosan-polyethylenimine-phenylboronic acid (CPB-TA) nanoparticles embedded within a thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) [P(NIPAm-co-AAc)] hydrogel. CPB-TA nanoparticles exhibit dual cfDNA-scavenging and antioxidant activity, sequestering cfDNA through combined cationic binding and polyphenol interactions, and reducing ROS via complementary antioxidant mechanisms, thereby dampening inflammatory signaling and protecting reparative cells. The phenylboronic acid groups reversibly capture glucose through dynamic boronate ester bonds, helping to alleviate local hyperglycemia. The hydrogel matrix is designed to be responsive to body temperature, promoting localized delivery of CPB-TA at the wound site. In vitro, CPB-TA nanoparticles promoted macrophage polarization from M1 to M2, protected endothelial cells from oxidative damage, and exhibited antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. In vivo, topical application of CPB-TA@hydrogel accelerated wound closure, enhanced re-epithelialization, and increased collagen deposition in non-infected and S. aureus-infected diabetic mouse models. This multifunctional, mechanism-targeted strategy provides a rational, disease-relevant approach for treating chronic diabetic wounds.\n\nID: 42511935\nTitle: Immunomodulatory Empty/Hollow Nanoparticles as Potential Therapeutic Strategies for Septic Shock.\nAbstract: Septic shock is a life-threatening manifestation of sepsis characterized by dysregulated immune responses, excessive inflammation, oxidative stress, and progressive multi-organ dysfunction. Despite advances in antimicrobial therapy and supportive care, mortality remains high, highlighting the need for therapeutic strategies that target immune dysregulation in addition to infection control. The review evaluates the potential of hollow nanoparticles as immunomodulatory therapies for septic shock, focusing on lipid-based, polymeric, protein-based, biomimetic, inorganic, carbon-based, and hybrid nanoparticle platforms. Current evidence suggests that these systems can modulate key pathological processes through reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) scavenging, regulation of inflammatory signaling, macrophage modulation, neutralization of bacterial toxins and antigens, and, in some cases, direct antimicrobial activity. Among the available platforms, lipid-based and biomimetic nanoparticles appear to possess the greatest translational potential owing to their favorable immunomodulatory properties and improved biocompatibility. Nonetheless, several challenges continue to limit clinical translation, including nanoparticle-associated systemic and organ toxicity, unintended immunogenicity, limited long-term safety data, and the lack of standardized comparative studies across nanoparticle classes. Despite these limitations, the progression of VBI-S, a phospholipid nanoparticle formulation, to Phase III clinical evaluation highlights the growing clinical feasibility of such nanoparticle-based approaches for septic shock. Future research should focus on optimizing nanoparticle design, improving safety profiles, and establishing standardized preclinical and clinical evaluation frameworks. Collectively, the available evidence suggests that hollow nanoparticles represent a promising antibiotic-independent strategy for restoring immune homeostasis and improving outcomes in septic shock.\n\nID: 42510422\nTitle: Nanoparticle-Enabled Modulation of the Bone Immune Microenvironment for Enhanced Regeneration.\nAbstract: Bone regeneration is governed by a tightly coordinated interplay between skeletal cells, immune cells, vascular components, and signaling networks within a dynamic microenvironment. Increasing evidence from osteoimmunology demonstrates that immune regulation is not merely supportive but mechanistically determinative of regenerative outcomes. Dysregulated or persistent inflammation can impair osteogenesis, whereas timely immune resolution promotes angiogenesis and matrix deposition. In this context, nanotechnology has enabled the development of nanoparticles (NPs) that function not only as delivery vehicles but also as active modulators of the bone immune microenvironment. Immunomodulatory NPs can be engineered to deliver bioactive agents, regulate cytokine networks, and influence immune cell phenotypes, particularly macrophage polarization, at defined stages of healing. Through tailored surface chemistry, targeting ligands, and stimuli-responsive release mechanisms, NPs can achieve spatially localized and temporally controlled modulation of inflammatory and reparative phases, thereby enhancing osteogenesis and vascular integration. This review provides a comprehensive overview of organic, inorganic, and hybrid NP platforms applied to bone regeneration, with emphasis on their mechanisms of immune modulation, strategies for cell-specific targeting, and approaches for sequential regulation of inflammatory resolution and tissue repair. By integrating advances in materials science and immunology, NP-enabled platforms have the potential to transform bone regeneration from passive structural repair into precision immune-guided healing.\n\nID: 42509557\nTitle: Macrophage membrane-functionalized biomimetic Yiqi Huoxue formula nanoparticles improve atherosclerosis by regulating smooth muscle cell phenotypic transition via the KLF4/NF-\u03baB pathway.\nAbstract: This study aimed to analyze the active ingredients of the compound preparation of Yiqi Huoxue (YQHX) and evaluate the therapeutic effect of its nanoparticles (MM/YQHXF-NPs) on atherosclerosis (AS). First, the active ingredient in the YQHX formulation was identified by LC-MS analysis. Subsequently, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) tests particle size. Mapping tests nanoparticle surface elements. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) tests nanoparticle size and distribution. ZETA tests nanoparticle surface potential. HPLC tests drug release. The results showed that these nanoparticles were spherical, approximately 100\u00a0nm in size, and had good dispersion. The P element content of MM/YQHXF-NPs increased after cell membrane coating, and their hydrodynamic size also increased accordingly, but the Polymer dispersity index (PDI) value was low, indicating good monodispersity. In addition, the nanoparticle surface had a weak negative charge, the encapsulation efficiency of YQHXF was 59.4%, and the drug loading rate was 5.61%. In cell-based experiments, MM/YQHXF-NPs showed no cytotoxicity towards A7r5 cells at a concentration of 150\u00a0\u03bcg/mL. The study found that ox-LDL-induced A7r5 cell-to-foam cell transformation was significantly inhibited. Oil Red O staining revealed that MM/YQHXF-NPs reduced lipid accumulation. In addition, YQHXF and its active component, salvianolic acid B, can inhibit the foam cell formation of A7r5 cells. Furthermore, MM/YQHXF-NPs modulated the phenotype of smooth muscle cells, inhibiting the expression of genes such as Myh9, Icam-1, Vcam-1, Tnfrsf11b, Cd68, Lgals3, and Abca1, while promoting the expression of Myh11 and Smtn. Mechanistic studies revealed that MM/YQHXF-NPs exerted their effects by inhibiting the Kr\u00fcppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) and NF-\u03baB signaling pathways. In a high-fat diet, ApoE-/- mice model of AS, MM/YQHXF-NPs demonstrated significant therapeutic efficacy. H&E and Oil Red O staining revealed that MM/YQHXF-NPs mitigated pathological changes, reduced plaque size, and lowered serum TC, TG, LDL, and HDL levels. They also stabilized atherosclerotic plaques by increasing fiber area and promoting SM22\u03b1 and SM-MHC expression. Consistent with the results from cell-based experiments, MM/YQHXF-NPs effectively inhibited the transformation of arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs) into foam cells in vivo and suppressed the activation of KLF4 and NF-\u03baB signaling pathways. In summary, MM/YQHXF-NPs can effectively prevent the transformation of SMCs into foam cells by inhibiting the KLF4 and NF-\u03baB signaling pathways, thereby alleviating AS. These results provide a theoretical basis for MM/YQHXF-NPs as a potential therapeutic drug for AS.\n\nID: 42508672\nTitle: Inhalable upper critical solution temperature-type polymer nanoparticles with gradient spatial protonation and thermal expansion across physiological multibarriers.\nAbstract: Inhalable nanodelivery faces a tricky and paradoxical interfacial challenge: penetrating mucus requires nanoparticles to be negatively charged or neutral to avoid electrostatic trapping, whereas targeting and disrupting bacterial biofilms strongly relies on positive charges. To address this, we developed inhalable polymer nanoparticles featuring gradient spatial protonation and thermal expansion to overcome mucus and biofilm barriers. Herein, poly(acrylamide-co-acrylonitrile) (P(AAm-co-AN)) with upper critical solution temperature (UCST) as thermo-responsive backbone, combined together with 2,4,5-triaminopyridine as cross-linking point, and N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-1,3-propanediamine as surface modifier, to impart the dual-responsive capability. They naturally exhibited thermo-responsive behavior that accelerated antibiotic release in hyperthermia inflammation site, and pH-dependent charge reversal from -13.45\u00b10.63 (pH 7.4) to +22.51\u00b10.31 mV (pH 5.0). This synergistic effect enabled them to overcame multiple physiological barriers through enhanced mucus penetration, improved cellular uptake, and efficient lysosomal escape. In particular, they exhibited inherent antibacterial activity in acidic inflammation microenvironment, significant biofilm penetration capability and immunomodulatory effects. This multifunctional platform not only validates the advantages of gradient spatial protonation in complex biological interfaces but also provides a physicochemical strategy for designing smart nanocarriers to overcome physiological multibarriers. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Inhaled nanomedicines face a paradoxical interfacial challenge: mucus traps positively charged particles, while bacterial biofilms require them for penetration. To address these contradictory requirements, we designed a polymeric nanoparticle featuring triple-level amine system. This design enabled gradient spatial protonation, driving a charge reversal from -13.45\u00b10.63 mV at pH 7.4 to +22.51\u00b10.31 mV at pH 5.0 within acidic infection microenvironments. Consequently, these nanocarriers achieved 83% mucus penetration under normal physiological conditions and 100% biofilm penetration in acidic infection microenvironment. Notably, the polymer network itself physically disrupted bacterial membranes and modulated macrophage polarization toward the anti-inflammatory phenotype, even without loaded antibiotics. This work is anticipated to provide a promising strategy for overcoming complex biological interfaces in inhalable nanodelivery.\n\nID: 42505515\nTitle: Macrophage Membrane-Coated Nanoparticles for Immunomodulation and Bone Regeneration: Emerging Applications in Oral and Dental Implant Therapy.\nAbstract: Macrophage membrane-coated nanoparticles (MMNPs) are an emerging class of biomimetic nanoplatforms that combine the immune-regulatory functions of macrophages with the structural versatility of synthetic nanoparticles (NPs). By retaining key membrane proteins and receptors, MMNPs exhibit natural targeting capabilities, immune interactions, and inflammatory site homing, making them promising tools for immunomodulation and targeted therapy. This review summarizes macrophage biology relevant to immune regulation and discusses how nanoparticle core properties, including size, surface charge, composition, and mechanical characteristics, influence membrane coating efficiency, stability, and biological performance. Current fabrication and characterization strategies for MMNPs are also discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the therapeutic applications of MMNPs in inflammatory disorders, tissue regeneration, and oral and dental implant-related applications. Recent studies demonstrate that MMNPs can modulate macrophage polarization, sequester pro-inflammatory cytokines, remodel the immune microenvironment, and promote tissue repair and bone regeneration, highlighting their potential to improve implant integration and reduce inflammation-associated implant failure. Despite these promising advances, challenges remain regarding large-scale manufacturing, membrane preservation, reproducibility, and long-term biosafety. Continued interdisciplinary research in nanotechnology, immunology, and biomaterials engineering is expected to accelerate the clinical translation of MMNPs for regenerative and immunomodulatory therapies.\n\nID: 42503313\nTitle: A copper nanoplatform with irreversible electroporation induces cuproptosis via lipid reprogramming and remodels tumor immunity in pancreatic cancer.\nAbstract: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the most treatment-refractory malignancies, largely due to its dense stromal architecture and limited intratumoral drug penetration. Here, we developed a hyaluronic acid-modified polypyrrole-copper nanoparticle (PLGA-Cuppy@HA, mCuppy) for copper delivery and irreversible electroporation (IRE)-assisted therapy. To optimize therapeutic performance, copper loading and HA surface modification were systematically tuned, resulting in a formulation with balanced physicochemical properties, efficient CD44-mediated cellular uptake, and favorable biological activity. When combined with IRE, mCuppy exhibited enhanced intratumoral retention, improved 3D spheroid penetration, and increased intracellular uptake, which were associated with IRE-induced membrane permeabilization and improved intratumoral distribution. Mechanistically, integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses revealed that the combination treatment induced profound metabolic reprogramming associated with cuproptosis, including dysregulation of pantothenate/CoA biosynthesis, unsaturated fatty acid metabolism, and glycerolipid metabolism. These alterations were accompanied by lipoylated protein aggregation, lipid droplet accumulation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Notably, additional analyses of cell death pathways suggested that, while cuproptosis represents a dominant mechanism, apoptosis and lipid metabolism-associated stress responses may also contribute to the overall therapeutic effect. In orthotopic PDAC models, mCuppy combined with IRE achieved marked tumor suppression and promoted antitumor immune remodeling, including dendritic cell maturation, increased CD8+ T-cell infiltration, and M1 macrophage polarization. Together, this study demonstrates that IRE-potentiated copper nano therapy induces metabolic vulnerability, cuproptosis, and immune remodeling in PDAC, providing a promising strategy for stromal-rich pancreatic cancer.\n\nID: 42502319\nTitle: Glycan-decorated polymeric nanomedicine for the treatment of multidrug-resistant infections.\nAbstract: The antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis necessitates strategies to revitalize existing antibiotics against multidrug-resistant pathogens. While cationic antimicrobial polymers can disrupt bacterial membranes, their clinical translation is hindered by host toxicity. Here we report a hierarchical, stimuli-responsive nanomedicine designed on principles of safety, specificity, switchability, and synergy. We synthesized phenylboronic ester-caged biodegradable polymers shielded by functional polysaccharide shells. These nanoparticles remain inert during circulation but selectively activate within infection microenvironments. Upon activation, the exposed cationic polymer physically compromises bacterial membranes, enabling the entry of co-delivered antibiotics such as rifampicin into Gram-positive, Gram-negative, mycobacterial, and biofilm-embedded pathogens. Our research led to the discovery of glycans that significantly improve therapeutic outcomes. We found that different glycans exhibited distinct effects in various tissues and conditions: chondroitin sulfate effectively targeted CD44-abundant infectious niches, enabling precise localization and enhanced therapeutic efficacy, whereas levan uniquely stimulated macrophage oxidative bursts, promoting intracellular pathogen clearance. By leveraging these distinct biological interactions, our platform overcomes the physical and biological barriers of AMR, offering a universal strategy to treat diverse, multidrug-resistant infections.\n\nID: 42501280\nTitle: Marine-Derived Nanocarriers for Immunomodulatory Drug Delivery: a Review On Convergence of Marine Pharmacology and Nanotechnology.\nAbstract: Marine-derived nanocarriers represent an emerging interface between marine pharmacology and nanotechnology for immunomodulatory drug delivery. The marine ecosystem provides diverse bioactive compounds, such as polysaccharides, peptides, lipids, proteins, and alkaloids, many of which possess inherent immunoregulatory activity. When incorporated into nanoscale delivery systems such as polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, micelles, hydrogels, and exosome-like vesicles, these bioactive compounds may exhibit improved stability, bioavailability, controlled release, and targeting efficiency. This review summarizes major classes of marine-derived nanocarriers and discusses their immunomodulatory mechanisms, including pattern recognition receptor activation, oxidative stress modulation, macrophage polarization, dendritic cell maturation, cytokine regulation, and intracellular signaling pathways. Their applications in autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases, vaccine delivery, and cancer immunotherapy are also reviewed. Despite promising preclinical evidence, clinical translation remains limited by challenges related to scalable production, batch-to-batch reproducibility, long-term stability, tissue-specific targeting, safety evaluation, and regulatory approval. Overall, marine-derived nanocarriers offer promising platforms for immunomodulatory drug delivery, but further mechanistic, comparative, and translational studies are required to establish their clinical relevance.\n\nID: 42500688\nTitle: Retinoic acid-loaded nanoparticles enhance macrophage-mediated control of Leishmania infantum.\nAbstract: Visceral leishmaniasis, primarily caused by Leishmania (L.) infantum, remains a major global health challenge due to limitations in current chemotherapeutic options, including toxicity and emerging drug resistance. Host-directed therapeutic approaches are increasingly recognized as promising alternatives. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is an immunomodulatory molecule with host-dependent effects on macrophage function; however, its therapeutic use is hindered by instability and poor solubility. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) offer a controlled and biocompatible delivery platform capable of enhancing intracellular drug accumulation. ATRA-loaded SLNs were prepared and characterized for size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and morphology. Their antileishmanial activity was evaluated against extracellular L. infantum promastigotes, noninfected RAW 264.7 macrophages, and L. infantum-infected macrophages using resazurin-based assays and xCELLigence real-time cell analysis. Neither free ATRA nor ATRA-loaded SLNs exhibited significant inhibitory activity against extracellular promastigotes at concentrations up to 75 \u03bcM. In contrast, both forms of ATRA demonstrated marked dose-dependent inhibition in infected macrophages, with a significantly enhanced intracellular response observed in the SLN formulation, while maintaining excellent biocompatibility in noninfected macrophages. Enhanced uptake and sustained intracellular release are likely contributors to the improved efficacy of the SLN system. The findings reveal that ATRA exerts its antileishmanial activity primarily through host-dependent mechanisms that become apparent within infected macrophages, and that encapsulation into SLNs markedly amplifies this intracellular effect while preserving cell viability. ATRA-loaded SLNs thus represent a promising host-directed therapeutic strategy for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis.\n=======================================================\n\n### [CUSTOM DATAPOINTS]\nCRITICAL EXTRACTION DIRECTIVE: You MUST extract the following custom datapoints as root-level key/value pairs inside your final JSON block:\n- \"suggested_experiments\": generate 1-3 suggested experiments\n- \"suggested_studies\": generate 1-3 suggested studies\n- \"swansons_literature_based_discovery_candidates\": You are an advanced Literature-Based Discovery (LBD) system executing Swanson\u2019s complementary-but-disjoint (A-B-C) model.

However, CSCs are mainly localized in the deep and hypoxic regions of the tumour microenvironment that hinder drug penetration. Furthermore, their overexpression of the CD24/Siglec10 immune checkpoint axis markedly suppresses immune clearance, severely limiting the efficacy of current therapeutic strategies. To address this challenge, this study developed an in situ engineered \"cascade-amplified\" drug-loaded vesicle delivery system, aiming to achieve deep drug delivery into CSC-enriched regions and enhance anti-tumour immune responses. Based on a biomimetic \"core-shell\" nanoplatform (siXkr8/Dox@PMLC), this system initiates a cascade within the TME where Doxorubicin (Dox) induces tumour cells to generate drug-loaded apoptotic bodies (ApoBDs). These ApoBDs serve as primary vesicles that, upon uptake by adjacent tumour cells, trigger secondary apoptosis, establishing a \"cascade-amplified\" cycle of enhanced drug delivery. Meanwhile, the silencing of the phospholipid scramblase Xkr8 via siRNA inhibits phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure on the surface of ApoBDs, thereby preventing their recognition and clearance by M2-type macrophages and facilitating immune phenotype remodelling. Furthermore, through targeted blockade of the CD24/Siglec-10 immune axis, the nanoplatform enhances macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of CSCs. In summary, this strategy achieves deep eradication of CSCs and synergistically enhances anti-tumour immunotherapy, demonstrating significant translational potential.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42106920 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 41111990 for the quote: \"Advances in delivery systems, such as lipid and polymeric nanoparticles and virus-like particles, offer solutions to enhance efficacy.

RNA medicine, targeting various RNA molecules, offers potential therapeutic interventions. RNA-based therapeutics encounter challenges like stability, delivery, and off-target effects. Advances in delivery systems, such as lipid and polymeric nanoparticles and virus-like particles, offer solutions to enhance efficacy. This review explores the mechanisms and applications of RNA therapeutics, focusing on antisense oligonucleotides. Several platforms like lipid nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, cell-penetrating peptides, exosomes, polyplexes, and virus-like particles (VLPs) for antisense RNA delivery are utilized to overcome challenges such as RNA stability and intracellular delivery. The potential of bacteriophages and VLPs as versatile delivery systems for RNA therapeutics targeting bacterial infections, biofilm eradication, cancer therapy, and viral infections is explored. Utilizing bacteriophages for targeted antisense RNA delivery improves therapeutic outcomes. Bacteriophage systems are advantageous due to ease of development, large cargo capacity, ability to carry non-DNA payloads, and relative safety, making them effective nanocarriers. The review also highlights FDA-approved ASO drugs and CRISPR-derived approaches for antibacterial and antiviral therapy.

"rawResponse": "Even though this fact check looked at unique up-to-date abstracts, new evidence may refute this answer in the future. Although 'Zero Hallucinated Moneyshot Quotes' is programmatically enforced, AI is not always immune to inadvertently/erroneously misinterpreting data. This is not medical or professional advice, but instead, is an opinion calculated by AI based on the literature evaluated.\n\n###[CLAIM EVALUATED AND ANSWER TO USER]\nThe hypothesis proposing the use of plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) to deliver siRNA targeting the Ebola virus VP40 matrix protein directly to macrophages is scientifically plausible based on the convergence of existing mechanisms regarding exosomal RNAi, PDEV stability/uptake, and the essential role of VP40 in filoviral pathogenesis.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThis assessment evaluates the potential for repurposing plant-derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) as therapeutic delivery vehicles for siRNA against the Ebola virus (EBOV) VP40 matrix protein, targeting the myeloid cell compartment. The synthesis integrates findings on the essential nature of VP40 in EBOV assembly, the established efficacy of RNAi as a filoviral countermeasure, and the emerging field of engineered plant-derived nanovesicles for targeted, stable delivery of therapeutic nucleic acids.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe Ebola virus (EBOV) VP40 matrix protein is a critical linchpin for viral life cycle progression. \"The VP40 matrix protein of EBOV is essential for viral assembly and budding from the host cell.\" Given that filoviruses, including EBOV and MARV, rely on the interaction of their VP40 matrix protein with host proteins to drive egress, targeting the transcript of this protein offers a high-value antiviral strategy. The integration of RNA interference (RNAi) is established as a relevant host defense mechanism: \"In addition to viral protein 35 (VP35), we found that VP30 and VP40 independently act as SRSs.\" By leveraging the biocompatibility and scalability of plant-derived vesicles\u2014\"Using a thin-film hydration-extrusion method, low-concentration cholesterol modification enhanced the colloidal stability of the vesicles and increased macrophage uptake by 1.6-fold while preserving their ROS scavenging capacity\"\u2014one can envision a robust platform for siRNA delivery to the macrophage, a primary target cell for Ebola virus infection. This strategy mimics natural therapeutic approaches where \"Exosomes can also carry therapeutic payloads, such as anti-viral and antifungal drugs, gene editing tools like CRISPR/Cas9 and siRNA, and more.\"\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* Plant-derived vesicles often demonstrate inherent antioxidant capacity, which may counteract the inflammatory dysregulation typical of EBOV infections.\n* The use of host-derived vs. plant-derived vesicles allows for potential \"Trojan Horse\" delivery mechanisms that avoid standard viral immune evasion pathways.\n* VP40 is not only involved in viral egress but also acts as a suppressor of the mammalian RNA interference pathway, creating a therapeutic \"tug-of-war\" that siRNA-mediated silencing would fundamentally resolve.\n* Cholesterol modification of vesicles significantly enhances uptake in macrophage populations, a key requirement for EBOV reservoir management.\n* The combination of PDEV-siRNA delivery with existing small-molecule inhibitors of c-Abl1 tyrosine kinase (which regulates VP40 phosphorylation) could theoretically result in multi-stage blockage of viral replication.\n* Myeloid cells, including macrophages, act as both a sanctuary and a host for Ebola, making them the most critical nodes for potential therapeutic intervention via exosomal RNAi.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

"14673108": "ID: 14673108\nTitle: Ebola virus-like particles protect from lethal Ebola virus infection.\nAbstract: The filovirus Ebola causes hemorrhagic fever with 70-80% human mortality. High case-fatality rates, as well as known aerosol infectivity, make Ebola virus a potential global health threat and possible biological warfare agent. Development of an effective vaccine for use in natural outbreaks, response to biological attack, and protection of laboratory workers is a higher national priority than ever before. Coexpression of the Ebola virus glycoprotein (GP) and matrix protein (VP40) in mammalian cells results in spontaneous production and release of virus-like particles (VLPs) that resemble the distinctively filamentous infectious virions. VLPs have been tested and found efficacious as vaccines for several viruses, including papillomavirus, HIV, parvovirus, and rotavirus. Herein, we report that Ebola VLPs (eVLPs) were immunogenic in vitro as eVLPs matured and activated mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells, assessed by increases in cell-surface markers CD40, CD80, CD86, and MHC class I and II and secretion of IL-6, IL-10, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha, and tumor necrosis factor alpha by the dendritic cells. Further, vaccinating mice with eVLPs activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, as well as CD19+ B cells. After vaccination with eVLPs, mice developed high titers of Ebola virus-specific antibodies, including neutralizing antibodies. Importantly, mice vaccinated with eVLPs were 100% protected from an otherwise lethal Ebola virus inoculation. Together, our data suggest that eVLPs represent a promising vaccine candidate for protection against Ebola virus infections and a much needed tool to examine the genesis and nature of immune responses to Ebola virus.",
"15926261": "ID: 15926261\nTitle: An interfering RNA protocol for primary porcine alveolar macrophages.\nAbstract: RNA interference (RNAi) is a cellular process of post-transcriptional gene silencing in which a short interfering dsRNA (siRNA, 21-23 nt) targets a homologous mRNA for degradation by ribonuclease. RNAi has been used successfully to inhibit targeted gene expression and viral replication in mammalian cells. In this study we established an RNAi transfection protocol for primary porcine alveolar macrophages and evaluated potential off-target effects of siRNA introduction into these cells. Porcine alveolar macrophages were transfected using a fluorescence-labeled siRNA to compare transfection reagents from different suppliers. Under optimized transfection conditions, up to 95% of macrophages were fluorescent at 12 and 24 h post-transfection using an amine-based transfection reagent. An siRNA targeting GAPDH suppressed macrophage endogenous GAPDH transcript levels as much as 60% through 24h. Further, we did not detect a significant interferon response following siRNA transfection. These data suggest that RNAi will be an efficient and convenient approach for studying loss of gene function in primary porcine alveolar macrophages.",
"18451984": "ID: 18451984\nTitle: Primate lentiviral Vpx commandeers DDB1 to counteract a macrophage restriction.\nAbstract: Primate lentiviruses encode four \"accessory proteins\" including Vif, Vpu, Nef, and Vpr/Vpx. Vif and Vpu counteract the antiviral effects of cellular restrictions to early and late steps in the viral replication cycle. We present evidence that the Vpx proteins of HIV-2/SIV(SM) promote virus infection by antagonizing an antiviral restriction in macrophages. Fusion of macrophages in which Vpx was essential for virus infection, with COS cells in which Vpx was dispensable for virus infection, generated heterokaryons that supported infection by wild-type SIV but not Vpx-deleted SIV. The restriction potently antagonized infection of macrophages by HIV-1, and expression of Vpx in macrophages in trans overcame the restriction to HIV-1 and SIV infection. Vpx was ubiquitylated and both ubiquitylation and the proteasome regulated the activity of Vpx. The ability of Vpx to counteract the restriction to HIV-1 and SIV infection was dependent upon the HIV-1 Vpr interacting protein, damaged DNA binding protein 1 (DDB1), and DDB1 partially substituted for Vpx when fused to Vpr. Our results indicate that macrophage harbor a potent antiviral restriction and that primate lentiviruses have evolved Vpx to counteract this restriction.",
"20084112": "ID: 20084112\nTitle: Marburg virus evades interferon responses by a mechanism distinct from ebola virus.\nAbstract: Previous studies have demonstrated that Marburg viruses (MARV) and Ebola viruses (EBOV) inhibit interferon (IFN)-alpha/beta signaling but utilize different mechanisms. EBOV inhibits IFN signaling via its VP24 protein which blocks the nuclear accumulation of tyrosine phosphorylated STAT1. In contrast, MARV infection inhibits IFNalpha/beta induced tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT2. MARV infection is now demonstrated to inhibit not only IFNalpha/beta but also IFNgamma-induced STAT phosphorylation and to inhibit the IFNalpha/beta and IFNgamma-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of upstream Janus (Jak) family kinases. Surprisingly, the MARV matrix protein VP40, not the MARV VP24 protein, has been identified to antagonize Jak and STAT tyrosine phosphorylation, to inhibit IFNalpha/beta or IFNgamma-induced gene expression and to inhibit the induction of an antiviral state by IFNalpha/beta. Global loss of STAT and Jak tyrosine phosphorylation in response to both IFNalpha/beta and IFNgamma is reminiscent of the phenotype seen in Jak1-null cells. Consistent with this model, MARV infection and MARV VP40 expression also inhibit the Jak1-dependent, IL-6-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT3. Finally, expression of MARV VP40 is able to prevent the tyrosine phosphorylation of Jak1, STAT1, STAT2 or STAT3 which occurs following over-expression of the Jak1 kinase. In contrast, MARV VP40 does not detectably inhibit the tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT2 or Tyk2 when Tyk2 is over-expressed. Mutation of the VP40 late domain, essential for efficient VP40 budding, has no detectable impact on inhibition of IFN signaling. This study shows that MARV inhibits IFN signaling by a mechanism different from that employed by the related EBOV. It identifies a novel function for the MARV VP40 protein and suggests that MARV may globally inhibit Jak1-dependent cytokine signaling.",
"21228243": "ID: 21228243\nTitle: Ebolavirus proteins suppress the effects of small interfering RNA by direct interaction with the mammalian RNA interference pathway.\nAbstract: Cellular RNA interference (RNAi) provides a natural response against viral infection, but some viruses have evolved mechanisms to antagonize this form of antiviral immunity. To determine whether Ebolavirus (EBOV) counters RNAi by encoding suppressors of RNA silencing (SRSs), we screened all EBOV proteins using an RNAi assay initiated by exogenously delivered small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) against either an EBOV or a reporter gene. In addition to viral protein 35 (VP35), we found that VP30 and VP40 independently act as SRSs. Here, we present the molecular mechanisms of VP30 and VP35. VP30 interacts with Dicer independently of siRNA and with one Dicer partner, TRBP, only in the presence of siRNA. VP35 directly interacts with Dicer partners TRBP and PACT in an siRNA-independent fashion and in the absence of effects on interferon (IFN). Taken together, our findings elucidate a new mechanism of RNAi suppression that extends beyond the role of SRSs in double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) binding and IFN antagonism. The presence of three suppressors highlights the relevance of host RNAi-dependent antiviral immunity in EBOV infection and illustrates the importance of RNAi in shaping the evolution of RNA viruses.",
"21698212": "ID: 21698212\nTitle: Targeted delivery of mutant tolerant anti-coxsackievirus artificial microRNAs using folate conjugated bacteriophage Phi29 pRNA.\nAbstract: Myocarditis is the major heart disease in infants and young adults. It is very commonly caused by coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) infection; however, no specific treatment or vaccine is available at present. RNA interference (RNAi)-based anti-viral therapy has shown potential to inhibit viral replication, but this strategy faces two major challenges; viral mutational escape from drug suppression and targeted delivery of the reagents to specific cell populations. In this study, we designed artificial microRNAs (AmiRs) targeting the 3'untranslated region (3'UTR) of CVB3 genome with mismatches to the central region of their targeting sites. Antiviral evaluation showed that AmiR-1 and AmiR-2 reduced CVB3 (Kandolf and CG strains) replication approximately 100-fold in both HeLa cells and HL-1 cardiomyocytes. To achieve specific delivery, we linked AmiRs to the folate-conjugated bacterial phage packaging RNA (pRNA) and delivered the complexes into HeLa cells, a folate receptor positive cancer cells widely used as an in vitro model for CVB3 infection, via folate-mediated specific internalization. We found that our designed pRNA-AmiRs conjugates were tolerable to target mutations and have great potential to suppress viral mutational escape with little effect on triggering interferon induction. This study provides important clues for designing AmiRs targeting the 3'UTR of viral genome. It also proves the feasibility of specific deliver of AmiRs using conjugated pRNA vehicles. These small AmiRs combined with pRNA-folate conjugates could form a promising system for antiviral drug development.",

BST2 also inhibits release of other enveloped viruses including Ebola virus and Kaposi's sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV), indicating that BST2 is a broadly acting antiviral host protein. Unexpectedly however, recovery of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) from supernatants of BST2-expressing human fibroblasts was increased rather than decreased. Furthermore, BST2 seemed to enhance viral entry into cells since more virion proteins were released into BST2-expressing cells and subsequent viral gene expression was elevated. A significant increase in viral entry was also observed upon induction of endogenous BST2 during differentiation of the pro-monocytic cell line THP-1. Moreover, treatment of primary human monocytes with siRNA to BST2 reduced HCMV infection, suggesting that BST2 facilitates entry of HCMV into cells expressing high levels of BST2 either constitutively or in response to exogenous stimuli. Since BST2 is present in HCMV particles we propose that HCMV entry is enhanced via a reverse-tethering mechanism with BST2 in the viral envelope interacting with BST2 in the target cell membrane. Our data suggest that HCMV not only counteracts the well-established function of BST2 as inhibitor of viral egress but also employs this anti-viral protein to gain entry into BST2-expressing hematopoietic cells, a process that might play a role in hematogenous dissemination of HCMV.",

Nef also induces lipid raft formation. In this study, we demonstrate that these activities are tightly linked and affect macrophage function and HIV replication. Nef stimulated lipid raft formation in macrophage cell line RAW 264.7, and lipid rafts were also mobilized in HIV-1-infected human monocyte-derived macrophages. Nef-mediated transfer of cholesterol to lipid rafts competed with the ABCA1-dependent pathway of cholesterol efflux, and pharmacological inhibition of ABCA1 functionality or suppression of ABCA1 expression by RNAi increased Nef-dependent delivery of cholesterol to lipid rafts. Nef reduced cell-surface accessibility of ABCA1 and induced ABCA1 catabolism via the lysosomal pathway. Despite increasing the abundance of lipid rafts, expression of Nef impaired phagocytic functions of macrophages. The infectivity of the virus produced in natural target cells of HIV-1 negatively correlated with the level of ABCA1. These findings demonstrate that Nef-dependent inhibition of ABCA1 is an essential component of the viral replication strategy and underscore the role of ABCA1 as an innate anti-HIV factor.",

However, the chain of events leading to this outcome, and its functional implications for the progression of the viral infection, has not been elucidated. This study sought to test the hypothesis that RSV infection modulates neurotrophic pathways in human airways by silencing the expression of specific microRNAs (miRNAs), and that this effect favors viral growth by interfering with programmed death of infected cells. Human bronchial epithelial cells infected with green fluorescent protein-expressing RSV (rgRSV) were screened with multiplex qPCR arrays, and miRNAs significantly affected by the virus were analyzed for homology with mRNAs encoding neurotrophic factors or receptors. Mimic sequences of selected miRNAs were transfected into non-infected bronchial cells to confirm the role of each of them in regulating neurotrophins expression at the gene and protein level, and to study their influence on cell cycle and viral replication. RSV caused downregulation of 24 miRNAs and upregulation of 2 (p<0.01). Homology analysis of microarray data revealed that 6 of those miRNAs exhibited a high degree of complementarity to NGF and/or one of its cognate receptors TrKA and p75(NTR). Among the selected miRNAs, miR-221 was significantly downregulated by RSV and its transfection in bronchial epithelial cells maximally inhibited gene and protein expression of NGF and TrKA, increased apoptotic cell death, and reduced viral replication and infectivity. Our data suggest that RSV upregulates the NGF-TrKA axis in human airways by silencing miR-221 expression, and this favors viral replication by interfering with the apoptotic death of infected cells. Consequently, the targeted delivery of exogenous miRNAs to the airways may provide a new strategy for future antiviral therapies based on RNA interference.",

Because of its high mortality and ease of transmission from human to human, Ebola virus remains a biological threat for which effective preventive and therapeutic interventions are needed. An understanding of the mechanisms of Ebola virus pathogenesis is critical for developing antiviral therapeutics. Here, we report that productive replication of Ebola virus is modulated by the c-Abl1 tyrosine kinase. Release of Ebola virus-like particles (VLPs) in a cell culture cotransfection system was inhibited by c-Abl1-specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) or by Abl-specific kinase inhibitors and required tyrosine phosphorylation of the Ebola matrix protein VP40. Expression of c-Abl1 stimulated an increase in phosphorylation of tyrosine 13 (Y(13)) of VP40, and mutation of Y(13) to alanine decreased the release of Ebola VLPs. Productive replication of the highly pathogenic Ebola virus Zaire strain was inhibited by c-Abl1-specific siRNAs or by the Abl-family inhibitor nilotinib by up to four orders of magnitude. These data indicate that c-Abl1 regulates budding or release of filoviruses through a mechanism involving phosphorylation of VP40. This step of the virus life cycle therefore may represent a target for antiviral therapy.",

Therefore, IL-6 expression was measured in TMEV-susceptible SJL/J and TMEV-resistant B10.S macrophages during their infection with TMEV DA strain or responses to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or poly(I \u00b7 C). Unexpectedly, IL-6 production was greater in B10.S macrophages than SJL/J macrophages during the first 24 h after stimulation with TMEV, LPS, or poly(I \u00b7 C). Further experiments showed that in B10.S, SJL/J, and RAW264.7 macrophage cells, IL-6 expression was dependent on extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and enhanced by exogenous IL-12. In SJL/J and RAW264.7 macrophages, exogenous IL-6 resulted in decreased TMEV replication, earlier activation of STAT1 and STAT3, production of nitric oxide, and earlier upregulation of several antiviral genes downstream of STAT1. However, neither inhibition of IL-6-induced nitric oxide nor knockdown of STAT1 diminished the early antiviral effect of exogenous IL-6. In addition, neutralization of endogenous IL-6 from SJL/J macrophages with Fab antibodies did not exacerbate early TMEV infection. Therefore, endogenous IL-6 expression after TMEV infection is dependent on ERK MAPK, enhanced by IL-12, but too slow to decrease viral replication during early infection. In contrast, exogenous IL-6 enhances macrophage control of TMEV infection through preemptive antiviral nitric oxide production and antiviral STAT1 activation. These results indicate that immediate-early production of IL-6 could protect macrophages from TMEV infection.",

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a neuropathologic flavivirus that is responsible for significant number of child mortalities in various parts of South-East Asia. In this study we show that JEV modulates suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS)1 and 3 expression in macrophages to bring about changes in the JAK-STAT signaling cascade, so as to inhibit proinflammatory cyto/chemokine release. Using real time PCR, immunoblotting and immunofluorescent staining, we show that the expression of type 1 interferons and intracellular expression of viral genes are also affected over time. Also, following the initial activation of SOCS1 and 3, there is production of interferon-inducible anti-viral proteins in the cells which may be responsible for inhibiting viral replication. However, even at later time points, viral genes were still detected from the macrophages, albeit at lesser quantities, than earlier time points, indicative of intracellular persistence of the virus in a latent form. On knocking down SOCS1 and SOCS3 we found a significant decrease in viral gene expression at an early time point, indicating the dysregulation of the signaling cascade leading to increased production of interferon-inducible anti-viral proteins. Taken together, our study provides an insight into the role of JEV infection in modulating the JAK-STAT pathway with the help of SOCS leading to the generation of an antiviral innate immune response.",
"24283270": "ID: 24283270\nTitle: Could the Ebola virus matrix protein VP40 be a drug target?\nAbstract: Filoviruses are filamentous lipid-enveloped viruses and include Ebola (EBOV) and Marburg, which are morphologically identical but antigenically distinct. These viruses can be very deadly with outbreaks of EBOV having clinical fatality as high as 90%. In 2012 there were two separate Ebola outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda that resulted in 25 and 4 fatalities, respectively. The lack of preventive vaccines and FDA-approved therapeutics has struck fear that the EBOV could become a pandemic threat. The Ebola genome encodes only seven genes, which mediate the entry, replication, and egress of the virus from the host cell. The EBOV matrix protein is VP40, which is found localized under the lipid envelope of the virus where it bridges the viral lipid envelope and nucleocapsid. VP40 is effectively a peripheral protein that mediates the plasma membrane binding and budding of the virus prior to egress. A number of studies have demonstrated specific deletions or mutations of VP40 to abrogate viral egress but to date pharmacological inhibition of VP40 has not been demonstrated. This editorial highlights VP40, which is the most abundantly expressed protein of the virus and discusses VP40 as a potential therapeutic target.",
"26041303": "ID: 26041303\nTitle: Thioredoxin 2 Is a Novel E2-Interacting Protein That Inhibits the Replication of Classical Swine Fever Virus.\nAbstract: The E2 protein of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is an envelope glycoprotein that is involved in virus attachment and entry. To date, the E2-interacting cellular proteins and their involvement in viral replication have been poorly documented. In this study, thioredoxin 2 (Trx2) was identified to be a novel E2-interacting partner using yeast two-hybrid screening from a porcine macrophage cDNA library. Trx2 is a mitochondrion-associated protein that participates in diverse cellular events. The Trx2-E2 interaction was further confirmed by glutathione S-transferase (GST) pulldown, in situ proximity ligation, and laser confocal assays. The thioredoxin domain of Trx2 and the asparagine at position 37 (N37) in the E2 protein were shown to be critical for the interaction. Silencing of the Trx2 expression in PK-15 cells by small interfering RNAs significantly promotes CSFV replication, and conversely, overexpression of Trx2 markedly inhibits viral replication of the wild-type (wt) CSFV and to a greater extent that of the CSFV N37D mutant, which is defective in binding Trx2. The wt CSFV but not the CSFV N37D mutant was shown to reduce the Trx2 protein expression in PK-15 cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated that Trx2 increases nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) promoter activity by promoting the nuclear translocation of the p65 subunit of NF-\u03baB. Notably, activation of the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway induced by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-\u03b1) significantly inhibits CSFV replication in PK-15 cells, whereas blocking the NF-\u03baB activation in Trx2-overexpressing cells no longer suppresses CSFV replication. Taken together, our findings reveal that Trx2 inhibits CSFV replication via the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. Thioredoxin 2 (Trx2) is a mitochondrion-associated protein that participates in diverse cellular events, such as antioxidative and antiapoptotic processes and the modulation of transcription factors. However, little is known about the involvement of Trx2 in viral replication. Here, we investigated, for the first time, the role of Trx2 in the replication of classical swine fever virus (CSFV), a devastating pestivirus of pigs. By knockdown and overexpression, we showed that Trx2 negatively regulates CSFV replication. Notably, we demonstrated that Trx2 inhibits CSFV replication by promoting the nuclear translocation of the p65 subunit of NF-\u03baB, a key regulator of the host's innate immunity and inflammatory response. Our findings reveal a novel role of Trx2 in the host's antiviral response and provide new insights into the complex mechanisms by which CSFV interacts with the host cell.",

While vaccines represent an obvious approach, targeting virus interactions with host proteins that critically regulate the virus lifecycle also represent important therapeutic strategies. Among Ebola virus proteins at this critical interface is its matrix protein, VP40, which is abundantly expressed during infection and plays a number of critical roles in the viral lifecycle. In addition to regulating viral transcription, VP40 coordinates virion assembly and budding from infected cells. Details of the molecular mechanisms underpinning these essential functions are currently being elucidated, with a particular emphasis on its interactions with host proteins that control virion assembly and egress. This review focuses on the strategies geared toward developing novel therapeutic agents that target VP40-specific control of host functions critical to virion transcription, assembly and egress.",
"27595345": "ID: 27595345\nTitle: Intra-host dynamics of Ebola virus during 2014.\nAbstract: Since 2013, West Africa has encountered the largest Ebola virus (EBOV) disease outbreak on record, and Sierra Leone is the worst-affected country, with nearly half of the infections. By means of next-generation sequencing and phylogeographic analysis, the epidemiology and transmission of EBOV have been well elucidated. However, the intra-host dynamics that mainly reflect viral-host interactions still need to be studied. Here, we show a total of 710 intra-host single nucleotide variations (iSNVs) from deep-sequenced samples from EBOV-infected patients, through a well-tailored bioinformatics pipeline. We present a comprehensive distribution of iSNVs during this outbreak and along the EBOV genome. Analyses of iSNV and its allele frequency reveal that VP40 is the most conserved gene during this outbreak, and thus it would be an ideal therapeutic target. In the co-occurring iSNV network, varied iSNV sites present different selection features. Intriguingly, the T-to-C substitutions at the 3'-UTR of the nucleoprotein (NP; positions 3008 and 3011), observed in many patients, result in the upregulation of the transcription of NP through an Ebola mini-genome reporting system. Additionally, no iSNV enrichment within B-cell epitopes of GP has been observed.",
"27872619": "ID: 27872619\nTitle: Ebola VP40 in Exosomes Can Cause Immune Cell Dysfunction.\nAbstract: Ebola virus (EBOV) is an enveloped, ssRNA virus from the family Filoviridae capable of causing severe hemorrhagic fever with up to 80-90% mortality rates. The most recent outbreak of EBOV in West Africa starting in 2014 resulted in over 11,300 deaths; however, long-lasting persistence and recurrence in survivors has been documented, potentially leading to further transmission of the virus. We have previously shown that exosomes from cells infected with HIV-1, HTLV-1 and Rift Valley Fever virus are able to transfer viral proteins and non-coding RNAs to na\u00efve recipient cells, resulting in an altered cellular activity. In the current manuscript, we examined the effect of Ebola structural proteins VP40, GP, NP and VLPs on recipient immune cells, as well as the effect of exosomes containing these proteins on na\u00efve immune cells. We found that VP40-transfected cells packaged VP40 into exosomes, and that these exosomes were capable of inducing apoptosis in recipient immune cells. Additionally, we show that presence of VP40 within parental cells or in exosomes delivered to na\u00efve cells could result in the regulation of RNAi machinery including Dicer, Drosha, and Ago 1, which may play a role in the induction of cell death in recipient immune cells. Exosome biogenesis was regulated by VP40 in transfected cells by increasing levels of ESCRT-II proteins EAP20 and EAP45, and exosomal marker proteins CD63 and Alix. VP40 was phosphorylated by Cdk2/Cyclin complexes at Serine 233 which could be reversed with r-Roscovitine treatment. The level of VP40-containing exosomes could also be regulated by treated cells with FDA-approved Oxytetracycline. Additionally, we utilized novel nanoparticles to safely capture VP40 and other viral proteins from Ebola VLPs spiked into human samples using SDS/reducing agents, thus minimizing the need for BSL-4 conditions for most downstream assays. Collectively, our data indicates that VP40 packaged into exosomes may be responsible for the deregulation and eventual destruction of the T-cell and myeloid arms of the immune system (bystander lymphocyte apoptosis), allowing the virus to replicate to high titers in the immunocompromised host. Moreover, our results suggest that the use of drugs such as Oxytetracycline to modulate the levels of exosomes exiting EBOV-infected cells may be able to prevent the devastation of the adaptive immune system and allow for an improved rate of survival.",

The filovirus VP40 matrix protein is essential for virus assembly and budding, and its PPxY L-domain motif interacts with WW-domains of specific host proteins, such as Nedd4 and ITCH, to facilitate the late stage of virus-cell separation. To identify additional WW-domain-bearing host proteins that interact with VP40, we used an EBOV PPxY-containing peptide to screen an array of 115 mammalian WW-domain-bearing proteins. Using this unbiased approach, we identified BCL2 Associated Athanogene 3 (BAG3), a member of the BAG family of molecular chaperone proteins, as a specific VP40 PPxY interactor. Here, we demonstrate that the WW-domain of BAG3 interacts with the PPxY motif of both EBOV and MARV VP40 and, unexpectedly, inhibits budding of both eVP40 and mVP40 virus-like particles (VLPs), as well as infectious VSV-EBOV recombinants. BAG3 is a stress induced protein that regulates cellular protein homeostasis and cell survival through chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). Interestingly, our results show that BAG3 alters the intracellular localization of VP40 by sequestering VP40 away from the plasma membrane. As BAG3 is the first WW-domain interactor identified that negatively regulates budding of VP40 VLPs and infectious virus, we propose that the chaperone-mediated autophagy function of BAG3 represents a specific host defense strategy to counteract the function of VP40 in promoting efficient egress and spread of virus particles.",

Among the proteins of the Ebola virus, the matrix protein (VP40) plays a significant role in the virus lifecycle thereby making it a promising therapeutic target. Of interest is the newly elucidated N-terminal domain loop region of VP40 comprising residues K127, T129, and N130 which when mutated to alanine have demonstrated an unrecognized role for N-terminal domain-plasma membrane interaction for efficient VP40-plasma membrane localization, oligomerization, matrix assembly, and egress. The molecular understanding of the conformational features of VP40 in complex with a known inhibitor still remains elusive. Using accelerated molecular dynamics approaches, we conducted a comparative study on VP40 apo and bound systems to understand the conformational features of VP40 at the molecular level and to determine the effect of inhibitor binding with the aid of a number of post-dynamic analytical tools. Significant features were seen in the presence of an inhibitor as per molecular mechanics/generalized born surface area binding free energy calculations. Results revealed that inhibitor binding to VP40 reduces the flexibility and mobility of the protein as supported by root mean square fluctuation and root mean square deviation calculations. The study revealed a characteristic \"twisting\" motion and coiling of the loop region of VP40 accompanied by conformational changes in the dimer interface upon inhibitor binding.

Due to its major role in the Ebola life cycle, VP40 is considered a promising therapeutic target. The available experimental data on the N-terminal domain (NTD) loop indicates that mutations K127A, T129A and N130A demonstrate an unrecognized role for NTD-plasma membrane (PM) interaction for efficient VP40-PM localization, oligomerization, matrix assembly and egress. Despite experimental results, the molecular description of VP40 and the information it can provide still remain vague. Therefore, to gain further molecular insight into the effect of mutations on the loop region of VP40 and its effects on the overall protein conformation and VP40 dimerization, aMD simulations and post-dynamic analyses were employed for wildtype (WT) and mutant systems. The results showed significant variations in the presence of mutations as per RMSF, RMSD, Rg, PCA and distance calculations in comparison to the WT. These results could provide researchers with insight with regards to the conformational aspects concerning VP40 and its close relation to the experimental data.

Using VP40-producing clones, we analyzed donor cell cycle, extracellular vesicle (EV) biogenesis, and recipient immune cell death. Transcription of cyclin D1 and nuclear localization of VP40 were examined via kinase and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. Extracellular vesicle contents were characterized by mass spectrometry, cytokine array, and western blot. Biosafety level-4 facilities were used for wild-type Ebola virus infection studies. VP40 EVs induced apoptosis in recipient T cells and monocytes. VP40 clones were accelerated in growth due to cyclin D1 upregulation, and nuclear VP40 was found bound to the cyclin D1 promoter. Accelerated cell cycling was related to EV biogenesis, resulting in fewer but larger EVs. VP40 EV contents were enriched in ribonucleic acid-binding proteins and cytokines (interleukin-15, transforming growth factor-\u03b21, and interferon-\u03b3). Finally, EBOV-infected cell and animal EVs contained VP40, nucleoprotein, and glycoprotein. Nuclear VP40 upregulates cyclin D1 levels, resulting in dysregulated cell cycle and EV biogenesis.

The generation of efficacious vaccines and antiviral drugs remains a challenge due to the rapid appearance of new influenza virus types and antigenic variants. Consequently, novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of IAV infections are needed, given the limitations of the presently available antivirals. Here, we used enzymatically produced IAV-specific double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules and Giardia intestinalis Dicer for the generation of a swarm of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules. The siRNAs target multiple conserved genomic regions of the IAVs. In mammalian cells, the produced 25- to 27-nucleotide-long siRNA molecules are processed by endogenous Dicer into 21-nucleotide siRNAs and are thus designated Dicer-substrate siRNAs (DsiRNAs). We evaluated the efficacy of the above DsiRNA swarm at preventing IAV infections in human primary monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells. The replication of different IAV strains, including avian influenza H5N1 and H7N9 viruses, was significantly inhibited by pretransfection of the cells with the IAV-specific DsiRNA swarm. Up to 7 orders of magnitude inhibition of viral RNA expression was observed, which led to a dramatic inhibition of IAV protein synthesis and virus production. The IAV-specific DsiRNA swarm inhibited virus replication directly through the RNA interference pathway although a weak induction of innate interferon responses was detected. Our results provide direct evidence for the feasibility of the siRNA strategy and the potency of DsiRNA swarms in the prevention and treatment of influenza, including the highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses.IMPORTANCE In spite of the enormous amount of research, influenza virus is still one of the major challenges for medical virology due to its capacity to generate new variants, which potentially lead to severe epidemics and pandemics. We demonstrated here that a swarm of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules, including more than 100 different antiviral RNA molecules targeting the most conserved regions of the influenza A virus genome, could efficiently inhibit the replication of all tested avian and seasonal influenza A variants in human primary monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells. The wide antiviral spectrum makes the virus-specific siRNA swarm a potentially efficient treatment modality against both avian and seasonal influenza viruses.",

No therapeutics or vaccines are currently licensed; however, a vaccine has shown promise in clinical trials. A critical step towards development of effective therapeutics is a better understanding of factors that govern host susceptibility to this pathogen. As macrophages are an important cell population targeted during virus replication, we explore the effect of cytokine polarization on macrophage infection. We utilized a BSL2 EBOV model virus, infectious, recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus encoding EBOV glycoprotein (GP) (rVSV/EBOV GP) in place of its native glycoprotein. Macrophages polarized towards a M2-like anti-inflammatory state by combined IL-4 and IL-13 treatment were more susceptible to rVSV/EBOV GP, but not to wild-type VSV (rVSV/G), suggesting that EBOV GP-dependent entry events were enhanced by these cytokines. Examination of RNA expression of known surface receptors that bind and internalize filoviruses demonstrated that IL-4/IL-13 stimulated expression of the C-type lectin receptor DC-SIGN in human macrophages and addition of the competitive inhibitor mannan abrogated IL-4/IL-13 enhanced infection. Two murine DC-SIGN-like family members, SIGNR3 and SIGNR5, were upregulated by IL-4/IL-13 in murine macrophages, but only SIGNR3 enhanced virus infection in a mannan-inhibited manner, suggesting that murine SIGNR3 plays a similar role to human DC-SIGN. In vivo IL-4/IL-13 administration significantly increased virus-mediated mortality in a mouse model and transfer of ex vivo IL-4/IL-13-treated murine peritoneal macrophages into the peritoneal cavity of mice enhanced pathogenesis. These studies highlight the ability of macrophage polarization to influence EBOV GP-dependent virus replication in vivo and ex vivo, with M2a polarization upregulating cell surface receptor expression and thereby enhancing virus replication. Our findings provide an increased understanding of the host factors in macrophages governing susceptibility to filoviruses and identify novel murine receptors mediating EBOV entry.",

However, there is no consensus on how malaria impacts EBOV infection. The effect of acute Plasmodium infection on EBOV challenge was investigated using mouse-adapted EBOV and a biosafety level 2 (BSL-2) model virus. We demonstrate that acute Plasmodium infection protects from lethal viral challenge, dependent upon interferon gamma (IFN-\u03b3) elicited as a result of parasite infection. Plasmodium-infected mice lacking the IFN-\u03b3 receptor are not protected. Ex\u00a0vivo incubation of naive human or mouse macrophages with sera from acutely parasitemic rodents or macaques programs a proinflammatory phenotype dependent on IFN-\u03b3 and renders cells resistant to EBOV infection.

To properly counteract EVD, an improved understanding of the long-term impact of recent EVD outbreaks in West Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo are needed. In the wake of recent outbreaks, numerous health sequelae were identified in EVD survivors. These findings include joint pains, headaches, myalgias, and uveitis, a vision-threatening inflammatory condition of the eye. Retrospective and more recent prospective studies of EVD survivors from West Africa have demonstrated that uveitis may occur in 13-34% of patients with an increase in prevalence from baseline to 12-month follow-up. The clinical spectrum of disease ranges from mild, anterior uveitis to severe, sight-threatening panuveitis. Untreated inflammation may ultimately lead to secondary complications of cataract and posterior synechiae, with resultant vision impairment. The identification of Ebola virus persistence in immune privileged organs, such as the eye, with subsequent tissue inflammation and edema may lead to vision loss. Non-human primate models of EVD have demonstrated tissue localization to the eye including macrophage reservoirs within the vitreous matter. Moreover, in vitro models of Ebola virus have shown permissiveness in retinal pigment epithelial cells, potentially contributing to viral persistence. Broad perspectives from epidemiologic studies of the outbreak, animal modeling, and immunologic studies of EVD survivors have demonstrated the spectrum of the eye disease, tissue specificity of Ebola virus infection, and antigen-specific immunologic response. Further studies in these areas will elucidate the mechanisms of this highly prevalent disease with the potential for improved therapeutics for Ebola virus in immune-privileged sites.",
"32381509": "ID: 32381509\nTitle: Angiomotin regulates budding and spread of Ebola virus.\nAbstract: The Ebola virus (EBOV) VP40 matrix protein (eVP40) orchestrates assembly and budding of virions in part by hijacking select WW-domain-bearing host proteins via its PPxY late (L)-domain motif. Angiomotin (Amot) is a multifunctional PPxY-containing adaptor protein that regulates angiogenesis, actin dynamics, and cell migration/motility. Amot also regulates the Hippo signaling pathway via interactions with the WW-domain-containing Hippo effector protein Yes-associated protein (YAP). In this report, we demonstrate that endogenous Amot is crucial for positively regulating egress of eVP40 virus-like particles (VLPs) and for egress and spread of authentic EBOV. Mechanistically, we show that ectopic YAP expression inhibits eVP40 VLP egress and that Amot co-expression rescues budding of eVP40 VLPs in a dose-dependent and PPxY-dependent manner. Moreover, results obtained with confocal and total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy suggested that Amot's role in actin organization and dynamics also contributes to promoting eVP40-mediated egress. In summary, these findings reveal a functional and competitive interplay between virus and host proteins involving the multifunctional PPxY-containing adaptor Amot, which regulates both the Hippo pathway and actin dynamics. We propose that our results have wide-ranging implications for understanding the biology and pathology of EBOV infections.",

Through immunohistochemistry, we found that the lining synovial intima of the stifle (knee) is a target for acute infection by Ebola virus/Kikwit, Ebola virus/Makona-C05, and Marburg virus/Angola in the rhesus macaque model. Furthermore, histologic analysis, immunohistochemistry, RNAscope in situ hybridization, and transmission electron microscopy showed that synoviocytes of the stifle, shoulder, and hip are a target for mouse-adapted Ebola virus/Yambuku-Mayinga infection during acute disease in rhesus macaques. A time course of infection study with Ebola virus/Kikwit found that the large joint synovium became immunopositive beginning on postinfection day 6. In total, the synovium of 28 of 30 rhesus macaques with terminal filovirus disease had evidence of infection (64 of 96 joints examined). On the basis of immunofluorescence, infected cell types included CD68+ type A (macrophage-like) synoviocytes and CD44+ type B (fibroblast-like) synoviocytes. Cultured primary human fibroblast-like synoviocytes were permissive to infection with Ebola and Marburg viruses in\u00a0vitro. Because synovial joints include immune privileged sites, these findings are significant for future investigations of filovirus pathogenesis and persistence as well as arthralgias in acute and convalescent filovirus disease.",

However, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. We investigated the antiviral activities of exosomes from responders and nonresponders to pegylated IFN-\u03b1 (PegIFN-\u03b1) as well as the supernatants of IFN-\u03b1-treated macrophages derived from THP-1 (the human leukemia monocyte cell line). Then the expression profiles of exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) were analyzed using miRNA sequencing. The luciferase reporter assay was used to locate the binding position of HBV genomic sequence targeted by the identified miRNA. Exosomes from PegIFN-\u03b1-treated patients, particularly responders, as well as the supernatants of IFN-\u03b1-treated macrophages exhibited anti-HBV activities, as manifested by the suppression of hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B e antigen, HBV DNA, and covalently closed circular DNA levels in HBV-related cell lines. PegIFN-\u03b1 treatment up-regulated exosomal hsa-miR-193a-5p, hsa-miR-25-5p, and hsa-miR-574-5p, which could partially inhibit HBV replication and transcription, and hsa-miR-574-5p reduced pregenomic RNA and polymerase messenger RNA levels by binding to the 2750-2757 position of the HBV genomic sequence. Exosomes can transfer IFN-\u03b1-related miRNAs from macrophages to HBV-infected hepatocytes, and they exhibit antiviral activities against HBV replication and expression.",

Here, we developed an Ebola virus envelope glycoprotein (EboGP)-based chimeric fusion protein system and demonstrated that replacement of the mucin-like domain (MLD) of EboGP with HIV C2-V3-C3 (134 amino acids [aa]) or C2-V3-C3-V4-C4-V5-C5 (243 aa) polypeptides (EbGP\u0394M-V3 and EbGP\u0394M-V3-V5, respectively) still maintained the efficiency of EboGP-mediated viral entry into human macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs). Animal studies using mice revealed that immunization with virus-like particles (VLPs) containing the above chimeric proteins, especially EbGP\u0394M-V3, induced significantly more potent anti-HIV antibodies than HIV gp120 alone in mouse serum and vaginal fluid. Moreover, the splenocytes isolated from mice immunized with VLPs containing EbGP\u0394M-V3 produced significantly higher levels of gamma interferon (IFN-\u03b3), interleukin 2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-5, and macrophage inflammatory protein 1\u03b1 (MIP-1\u03b1). Additionally, we demonstrated that coexpression of EbGP\u0394M-V3 and the HIV Env glycoprotein in a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV) vector elicited robust anti-HIV antibodies that may have specifically recognized epitopes outside or inside the C2-V3-C3 region of HIV-1 gp120 and cross-reacted with the gp120 from different HIV strains. Thus, this study has demonstrated the great potential of this DC-targeting vaccine platform as a new vaccine approach for improving immunogen delivery and increasing vaccine efficacy. IMPORTANCE Currently, there are more than 38.5 million reported cases of HIV globally. To date, there is no approved vaccine for HIV-1 infection. Thus, the development of an effective vaccine against HIV infection remains a global priority. This study revealed the efficacy of a novel dendritic cell (DC)-targeting vaccination approach against HIV-1. The results clearly show that the immunization of mice with virus-like particles (VLPs) and VSVs containing HIV Env and a fusion protein composed of a DC-targeting domain of Ebola virus GP with HIV C2-V3-C3 polypeptides (EbGP\u0394M-V3) could induce robust immune responses against HIV-1 Env and/or Gag in serum and vaginal mucosa. These findings provide a proof of concept of this novel and efficient DC-targeting vaccine approach in delivering various antigenic polypeptides of HIV-1 and/or other emergent infections to the host antigen-presenting cells to prevent HIV and other viral infections.",

An advancement with such important phytochemical production has been recognized and utilized as herbal drugs. Bioactive andrographolide (AGL; C20H30O5) isolated from Andrographis paniculate (AP) (Kalmegh) is a diterpenoid lactones having multifunctional medicinal properties including anti-manic, anti-inflammatory, liver, and lung protective. AGL is known for its immunostimulant activity against a variety of microbial infections thereby, regulating classical and alternative macrophage activation, Ag-specific antibody production during immune disorder therapy. In vitro studies with AGL found it to be effective against multiple tumors, neuronal disorders, diabetes, pneumonia, fibrosis, and other diverse therapeutic misadventures. Generally, virus-based diseases like ZIKA, influenza A virus subtype (H1NI), Ebola (EBOV), Dengue (DENV), and coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemics have greatly increased scientific interest and demands to develop more effective and economical immunomodulating drugs with minimal side effects. Trials and in vitro pharmacological studies with AGL and medicinally beneficial herbs might contribute to benefit the human population without using chemical-based synthetic drugs. In this review, we have discussed the possible role of AGL as a promising herbal-chemo remedy during human diseases, viral infections and as an immunity booster.",
"34923028": "ID: 34923028\nTitle: CD47 expression attenuates Ebola virus-induced immunopathology in mice.\nAbstract: It has been shown that a very early cell-intrinsic response to infection is the upregulation of CD47\u00a0cell surface expression, a molecule known for delivering a \"don't eat me signal\" that inhibits macrophage-mediated phagocytosis and antigen presentation. Thus, blockade of CD47 signaling during lymphocytic choriomenigitis virus infections of mice has been shown to enhance the kinetics and potency of immune responses, thereby producing faster recovery. It seems counterintuitive that one of the earliest responses to infection would be immunoinhibitory, but it has been hypothesized that CD47 induction acts as an innate immune system checkpoint to prevent immune overactivation and immunopathogenic responses during certain infections. In the current study we examined the effect of CD47 blockade on lethal Ebola virus infection of mice. At 6 days post-infection, CD47 blockade was associated with significantly increased activation of B cells along with increases in recently cytolytic CD8+ T cells. However, the anti-CD47-treated mice exhibited increased weight loss, higher virus titers, and succumbed more rapidly. The anti-CD47-treated mice also had increased inflammatory cytokines in the plasma indicative of a \"cytokine storm\". Thus, in the context of this rapid hemorrhagic disease, CD47 blockade indeed exacerbated immunopathology and disease severity.",

However, the risk of viral persistence and associated disease recrudescence in survivors receiving these therapeutics remains unclear. In contrast to rhesus macaques that survived Ebola virus (EBOV) exposure in the absence of treatment, we discovered that EBOV, despite being cleared from all other organs, persisted in the brain ventricular system of rhesus macaque survivors that had received monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatment. In mAb-treated macaque survivors, EBOV persisted in macrophages infiltrating the brain ventricular system, including the choroid plexuses. This macrophage infiltration was accompanied by severe tissue damage, including ventriculitis, choroid plexitis, and meningoencephalitis. Specifically, choroid plexus endothelium-derived EBOV infection led to viral persistence in the macaque brain ventricular system. This resulted in apoptosis of ependymal cells, which constitute the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier of the choroid plexuses. Fatal brain-confined recrudescence of EBOV infection manifested as severe inflammation, local pathology, and widespread infection of the ventricular system and adjacent neuropil in some of the mAb-treated macaque survivors. This study highlights organ-specific EBOV persistence and fatal recrudescent disease in rhesus macaque survivors after therapeutic treatment and has implications for the long-term follow-up of human survivors of EVD.",

Viral attachment and entry factors, as well as the more recently described influence of cell polarization, shape macrophage susceptibility to direct infection. Moreover, the study of Toll-like receptor 4 and the RIG-I-like receptor pathway in the macrophage response to ebolaviruses highlight important immune signaling pathways contributing to the breadth of macrophage responses. Lastly, the deep histopathological catalogue of macrophage involvement across numerous tissues during infection has been enriched by descriptions of tissues involved in sequelae following acute infection, including: the eye, joints, and the nervous system. Building upon this knowledge base, future opportunities include characterization of macrophage phenotypes beneficial or deleterious to survival, delineation of the specific roles macrophages play in pathological lesion development in affected tissues, and the creation of macrophage-specific therapeutics enhancing the beneficial activities and reducing the deleterious contributions of macrophages to the outcome of Ebola virus disease.",

We demonstrate that host BAG3 and HSP70 recognize VP40 as a client and inhibit the egress of VP40 virus-like particles (VLPs) by promoting degradation of VP40 via Chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA). Pharmacological inhibition of either the early stage formation of the VP40/BAG3/HSP70 tripartite complex, or late stage formation of autolysosomes, rescued VP40 VLP egress back to WT levels. The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a master regulator of autophagy, and we found that surface expression of EBOV GP on either VLPs or an infectious VSV recombinant virus, activated mTORC1. Notably, pharmacological suppression of mTORC1 signaling by rapamycin activated CASA in a BAG3-dependent manner to restrict the egress of both VLPs and infectious EBOV in Huh7 cells. In sum, our findings highlight the involvement of the mTORC1/CASA axis in regulating filovirus egress.",

Reemergence of these filoviruses remains a global public health threat, highlighting the need for novel countermeasures to control and treat future disease outbreaks. The EBOV VP40 matrix protein drives virion assembly and egress. We recently reported that BAG3 and HSPA/HSP70, two central components of chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA), target VP40 for autophagic sequestration and degradation, thereby inhibiting virus egress and spread. In addition, we found that expression of the EBOV glycoprotein (GP) activates MTORC1, the gateway regulator of autophagy. Notably, pharmacological suppression of MTORC1 signaling by rapamycin activates autophagy and blocks filovirus egress. These findings highlight the MTORC1-CASA axis as a regulator of filovirus egress and suggest new opportunities for antiviral development and intervention.",

Viral outbreaks and resulting pandemics have repeatedly threatened public health and questioned human preparedness at the forefront of drug design and biomedical readiness. During the recent pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2, mRNA-based vaccination strategies have paved the way for a new era of RNA therapeutics. RNA Interference (RNAi) based approach using small interfering RNA may complement clinical management of the COVID-19. RNA Interference approach will primarily work by restricting the synthesis of the proteins required for viral replication, thereby hampering viral cellular entry and trafficking by targeting host as well as protein factors. Despite promising benefits, the stability of small interfering RNA in the physiological environment is of grave concern as well as site-directed targeted delivery and evasion of the immune system require immediate attention. In this regard, nanotechnology offers viable solutions for these challenges. The review highlights the potential of small interfering RNAs targeted toward specific regions of the viral genome and the features of nanoformulations necessary for the entrapment and delivery of small interfering RNAs. In silico design of small interfering RNA for different variants of SARS-CoV-2 has been discussed. Various nanoparticles as promising carriers of small interfering RNAs along with their salient properties, including surface functionalization, are summarized. This review will help tackle the real-world challenges encountered by the in vivo delivery of small interfering RNAs, ensuring a safe, stable, and readily available drug candidate for efficient management of SARS-CoV-2 in the future.",

Ebola virus is known to directly target endothelial cells and macrophages, even without infecting them, through direct interactions with viral proteins. These interactions affect cellular mechanics and immune processes, which are tightly linked to other key cellular functions such as metabolism. However, research regarding metabolic activity of these cells upon viral exposure remains limited, hampering our understanding of its pathophysiology and progression. Therefore, in the present study, an untargeted cellular metabolomic approach was performed to investigate the metabolic alterations of primary human endothelial cells and M1 and M2 macrophages upon exposure to Ebola virus-like particles (VLP). The results show that Ebola VLP led to metabolic changes among endothelial, M1, and M2 cells. Differential metabolite abundance and perturbed signaling pathway analysis further identified specific metabolic features, mainly in fatty acid-, steroid-, and amino acid-related metabolism pathways for all the three cell types, in a host cell specific manner. Taken together, this work characterized for the first time the metabolic alternations of endothelial cells and two primary human macrophage subtypes after Ebola VLP exposure, and identified the potential metabolites and pathways differentially affected, highlighting the important role of those host cells in disease development and progression. KEY MESSAGES: \u2022 Ebola VLP can lead to metabolic alternations in endothelial cells and M1 and M2 macrophages. \u2022 Differential abundance of metabolites, mainly including fatty acids and sterol lipids, was observed after Ebola VLP exposure. \u2022 Multiple fatty acid-, steroid-, and amino acid-related metabolism pathways were observed perturbed.",

However, there are no regulatorily approved drugs against the Ebola virus disease (EVD). The highly virulent and lethal nature of EVD highlights the need to develop therapeutic agents. Viral protein 40 kDa (VP40), the most abundantly expressed protein during infection, coordinates the assembly, budding, and release of viral particles into the host cell. It also regulates viral transcription and RNA replication. This study sought to identify small molecules that could potentially inhibit the VP40 protein by targeting the N-terminal domain using an in silico approach. The statistical quality of AutoDock Vina's capacity to discriminate between inhibitors and decoys was determined, and an area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic (AUC-ROC) curve of 0.791 was obtained. A total of 29,519 natural-product-derived compounds from Chinese and African sources as well as 2738 approved drugs were successfully screened against VP40. Using a threshold of -8 kcal/mol, a total of 7, 11, 163, and 30 compounds from the AfroDb, Northern African Natural Products Database (NANPDB), traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and approved drugs libraries, respectively, were obtained after molecular docking. A biological activity prediction of the lead compounds suggested their potential antiviral properties. In addition, random-forest- and support-vector-machine-based algorithms predicted the compounds to be anti-Ebola with IC50 values in the micromolar range (less than 25 \u03bcM). A total of 42 natural-product-derived compounds were identified as potential EBOV inhibitors with desirable ADMET profiles, comprising 1, 2, and 39 compounds from NANPDB (2-hydroxyseneganolide), AfroDb (ZINC000034518176 and ZINC000095485942), and TCM, respectively.

We hypothesized Ebola virus disease (EVD) systemic proinflammatory responses would be reflected in temporally altered liver myeloid phenotypes. We utilized multiplex fluorescent immunohistochemistry (mfIHC), multispectral whole slide imaging, and image analysis to quantify molecular phenotypes of myeloid cells in the liver of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta; n = 21) infected with EBOV Kikwit. Liver samples included uninfected controls (n = 3), 3 days postinoculation (DPI; n = 3), 4 DPI (n = 3), 5 DPI (n = 3), 6 DPI (n = 3), and terminal disease (6-8 DPI; n = 6). Alterations in hepatic macrophages occurred at \u2265 5 DPI characterized by a 1.4-fold increase in CD68+ immunoreactivity and a transition from primarily CD14-CD16+ to CD14+CD16- macrophages, with a 2.1-fold decrease in CD163 expression in terminal animals compared with uninfected controls. An increase in the neutrophil chemoattractant and alarmin S100A9 occurred within hepatic myeloid cells at 5 DPI, followed by rapid neutrophil influx at \u2265 6 DPI. An acute rise in the antiviral myxovirus resistance protein 1 (MxA) occurred at \u2265 4 DPI, with a predilection for enhanced expression in uninfected cells. Distinctive expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II was observed in hepatocytes during terminal disease. Results illustrate that EBOV causes macrophage phenotype alterations as well as neutrophil influx and prominent activation of interferon host responses in the liver. Results offer insight into potential therapeutic strategies to prevent and/or modulate the host proinflammatory response to normalize hepatic myeloid functionality.",

However, a clear association is yet to be firmly established for effective host-targeted, immunomodulatory therapeutic approaches to improve outcomes in patients with severe EVD. Twenty-four rhesus monkeys were exposed intramuscularly to the EBOV Kikwit isolate and euthanized at prescheduled time points or when they reached the end-stage disease criteria. Three additional monkeys were mock-exposed and used as uninfected controls. EBOV-exposed monkeys presented with clinicopathologic features of HLS, including fever, multiple organomegaly, pancytopenia, hemophagocytosis, hyperfibrinogenemia with disseminated intravascular coagulation, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercytokinemia, increased concentrations of soluble CD163 and CD25 in serum, and the loss of activated natural killer cells.

"37376652": "ID: 37376652\nTitle: CD40 Signaling in Mice Elicits a Broad Antiviral Response Early during Acute Infection with RNA Viruses.\nAbstract: Macrophages are critical in the pathogenesis of a diverse group of viral pathogens, both as targets of infection and for eliciting primary defense mechanisms. Our prior in vitro work identified that CD40 signaling in murine peritoneal macrophages protects against several RNA viruses by eliciting IL-12, which stimulates the production of interferon gamma (IFN-\u03b3). Here, we examine the role of CD40 signaling in vivo. We show that CD40 signaling is a critical, but currently poorly appreciated, component of the innate immune response using two distinct infectious agents: mouse-adapted influenza A virus (IAV, PR8) and recombinant VSV encoding the Ebola virus glycoprotein (rVSV-EBOV GP). We find that stimulation of CD40 signaling decreases early IAV titers, whereas loss of CD40 elevated early titers and compromised lung function by day 3 of infection. Protection conferred by CD40 signaling against IAV is dependent on IFN-\u03b3 production, consistent with our in vitro studies. Using rVSV-EBOV GP that serves as a low-biocontainment model of filovirus infection, we demonstrate that macrophages are a CD40-expressing population critical for protection within the peritoneum and T-cells are the key source of CD40L (CD154). These experiments reveal the in vivo mechanisms by which CD40 signaling in macrophages regulates the early host responses to RNA virus infection and highlight how CD40 agonists currently under investigation for clinical use may function as a novel class of broad antiviral treatments.",
"37896854": "ID: 37896854\nTitle: Effect of Interferon Gamma on Ebola Virus Infection of Primary Kupffer Cells and a Kupffer Cell Line.\nAbstract: Ebola virus disease (EVD) represents a global health threat. The etiological agents of EVD are six species of Orthoebolaviruses, with Orthoebolavirus zairense (EBOV) having the greatest public health and medical significance. EVD pathogenesis occurs as a result of broad cellular tropism of the virus, robust viral replication and a potent and dysregulated production of cytokines. In vivo, tissue macrophages are some of the earliest cells infected and contribute significantly to virus load and cytokine production. While EBOV is known to infect macrophages and to generate high titer virus in the liver, EBOV infection of liver macrophages, Kupffer cells, has not previously been examined in tissue culture or experimentally manipulated in vivo. Here, we employed primary murine Kupffer cells (KC) and an immortalized murine Kupffer cell line (ImKC) to assess EBOV-eGFP replication in liver macrophages. KCs and ImKCs were highly permissive for EBOV infection and IFN-\u03b3 polarization of these cells suppressed their permissiveness to infection. The kinetics of IFN-\u03b3-elicited antiviral responses were examined using a biologically contained model of EBOV infection termed EBOV \u0394VP30. The antiviral activity of IFN-\u03b3 was transient, but a modest ~3-fold reduction of infection persisted for as long as 6 days post-treatment. To assess the interferon-stimulated gene products (ISGs) responsible for protection, the efficacy of secreted ISGs induced by IFN-\u03b3 was evaluated and secreted ISGs failed to block EBOV \u0394VP30. Our studies define new cellular tools for the study of EBOV infection that can potentially aid the development of new antiviral therapies. Furthermore, our data underscore the importance of macrophages in EVD pathogenesis and those IFN-\u03b3-elicited ISGs that help to control EBOV infection.",

Sodium thiosulfate (STS) is a clinically approved drug for therapy against VC; however, its efficacy is hampered by poor bioavailability and severe adverse effects. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles have provided options for VC treatment since they can be used as biomimetic drug carriers with higher biosafety and targeting abilities than artificial carriers. Inspired by natural grapefruit-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), we fabricated a biomimetic nanocarrier comprising EVs loaded with STS and further modified with hydroxyapatite crystal binding peptide (ESTP) for VC-targeted delivery of STS. In vitro, the ESTP nanodrug exhibited excellent cellular uptake capacity by calcified vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and subsequently inhibited VSMCs calcification. In the VC mice model, the ESTP nanodrug showed preferentially the highest accumulation in the calcified arteries compared to other treatment groups. Mechanistically, the ESTP nanodrug significantly prevented VC via driving M2 macrophage polarization, reducing inflammation, and suppressing bone-vascular axis as demonstrated by inhibiting osteogenic phenotype trans-differentiation of VSMCs while enhancing bone quality. In addition, the ESTP nanodrug did not induce hemolysis or cause any damage to other organs. These results suggest that the ESTP nanodrug can prove to be a promising agent against VC without the concern of systemic toxicity.",

This study aimed to develop an immunizing agent against S. parauberis using exosomes isolated from the plasma of olive flounders infected experimentally with S. parauberis (Sp-Exo). Initially, we tested the in vitro immunomodulatory effect of Sp-Exo in murine macrophage RAW264.7\u00a0cells and compared it to that of exosomes isolated from na\u00efve fish (PBS-Exo-treated). Notably, Sp-Exo treatment significantly (p\u00a0<\u00a00.05) upregulated pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines (Il1\u03b2, Tnf\u03b1, and Il10), antimicrobial peptide, defensin isoforms (Def-rs2 and Def-ps1), and antiviral (Ifn\u03b21 and Isg15) genes.

Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, and Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins analyses revealed that these genes are associated with key pathways, such as innate immune responses, complement system, acute phase responses, phospholipid efflux, and chylomicron remodeling. In conclusion, Sp-Exo demonstrated superior immunomodulatory activity and significant resistance against S. parauberis infection relative to that on treatment with PBS-Exo. Proteomic analysis further verified that most DEPs in Sp-Exo were associated with immune induction or modulation. These findings highlight the potential of Sp-Exo as a promising vaccine candidate against S. parauberis and other bacterial infections in olive flounder.",

In the EBOV, two multifunctional proteins, VP35 and VP40, have significant roles in replication, virion assembly, and budding from the cell and have been identified as druggable targets. In this study, we employed in silico methods comprising molecular docking, molecular dynamic simulations, and pharmacological properties to identify prospective drugs for inhibiting VP35 and VP40 proteins from the myxobacterial bioactive natural product repertoire. Cystobactamid 934-2, Cystobactamid 919-1, and Cittilin A bound firmly to VP35. Meanwhile, 2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine, Enhypyrazinone B, and Sorangiadenosine showed strong binding to the matrix protein VP40. Molecular dynamic simulations revealed that, among these compounds, Cystobactamid 919-1 and 2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine had stable interactions with their respective targets. Similarly, molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MMPBSA) calculations indicated close-fitting receptor binding with VP35 or VP40. These two compounds also exhibited good pharmacological properties. In conclusion, we identified Cystobactamid 919-1 and 2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine as potential ligands for EBOV that target VP35 and VP40 proteins. These findings signify an essential step in vitro and in vivo to validate their potential for EBOV inhibition.",

This study aimed to explore the pathways through which TIMP-1 controls monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) expression and promotes hepatic macrophage recruitment. Liver fibrosis was triggered through carbon tetrachloride, and an adeno-associated virus containing small interfering RNA targeting TIMP-1 (siRNA-TIMP-1) was administered to both rats and mice. We assessed the extent of fibrosis and macrophage recruitment. The molecular mechanisms regulating macrophage recruitment by TIMP-1 were investigated through transwell migration assays, luciferase reporter assays, the use of pharmacological modulators, and an analysis of extracellular vesicles (EVs). siRNA-TIMP-1 alleviated carbon tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis, reducing macrophage migration and MCP-1 expression. Co-culturing macrophages with hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) post-TIMP-1 downregulation inhibited macrophage migration. In siRNA-TIMP-1-treated HSCs, microRNA-145 (miRNA-145) expression increased, while the expression of Friend leukemia virus integration-1 (Fli-1) and MCP-1 was inhibited. Downregulation of Fli-1 led to decreased MCP-1 expression, whereas Fli-1 overexpression increased MCP-1 expression within HSCs. Transfection with miRNA-145 mimics reduced the expression of both Fli-1 and MCP-1, while miRNA-145 inhibitors elevated the expression of both Fli-1 and MCP-1 in HSCs. miRNA-145 bound directly to the 3'-UTR of Fli-1, and miRNA-145-enriched EVs secreted by HSCs after TIMP-1 downregulation influenced macrophage recruitment. TIMP-1 induces Fli-1 expression through miRNA-145, subsequently increasing MCP-1 expression and macrophage recruitment. MiRNA-145-enriched EVs from HSCs can transmit biological information and magnify the function of TIMP-1.",

However, poor stability and off-target effects during in vivo transportation hinder their practical clinical applications. Precision delivery and adaptive release of siRNAs into inflamed tissues and immune cells could unleash their full therapeutic potential. This study establishes a pyroptotic-spatiotemporally selective siRNA delivery system (PMRC@siGSDME) that selectively targets inflammatory tissues, responds to pyroptosis, and exhibits remarkable therapeutic efficacy against various autoimmune diseases. Novel hybrid nanovesicles (NVs) are designed as a combination of pyroptotic macrophage membranes (PMs) and R8-cardiolipin-containing nanovesicles (RC-NVs). Evidence provides that PM-derived proteins involved in cell-cell interactions and membrane trafficking may contribute to the specificity of NVs to inflammatory tissue. In addition, cardiolipin anchored in the hybrid NVs increases its affinity for activated gasdermin E (GSDME) and achieves pyroptosis-adaptive release of siGSDME for the spatiotemporally selective suppression of immune responses. More importantly, PMRC@siGSDME displays significant anti-inflammatory and therapeutic effects in multiple mouse autoimmune disease models, including arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Collectively, an innovative siRNA delivery strategy precisely tailored for pyroptotic cells has been developed, paving the way for new treatments for autoimmune inflammatory diseases with minimal side effects and wide clinical applicability.",

To address the multifaceted pathology of AAA, this work develops a novel multifunctional gene delivery system to simultaneously deliver two siRNAs targeting MMP-2 and MMP-9. The system (TPNs-siRNA), formed through the oxidative polymerization and self-assembly of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), efficiently encapsulates siRNAs during self-assembly. TPNs-siRNA safeguards siRNAs from biological degradation, facilitates intracellular siRNA transfection, promotes lysosomal escape, and releases siRNAs to silence MMP-2 and MMP-9. Additionally, TPNs, serving as a multi-bioactive material, mitigates oxidative stress and inflammation, fosters M1-to-M2 repolarization of macrophages, and inhibits cell calcification and apoptosis. In experiments with AAA mice, TPNs-siRNA accumulated and persisted in aneurysmal tissue after intravenous delivery, demonstrating that TPNs-siRNA can be significantly distributed in macrophages and VSMCs relevant to AAA pathogenesis. Leveraging the carrier's intrinsic multi-bioactive properties, the targeted siRNA delivery by TPNs exhibits a synergistic effect for enhanced AAA therapy. Furthermore, TPNs-siRNA is gradually metabolized and excreted from the body, resulting in excellent biocompatibility. Consequently, TPNs emerges as a promising multi-bioactive nanotherapy and a targeted delivery nanocarrier for effective AAA therapy.",

Small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA)-based therapies, with their ability to suppress specific genes with high targeting precision and minimal side effects, have shown great potential for AS treatment. However, targets of siRNA therapies based on macrophages for AS treatment are still limited. Olfactory receptor 2 (Olfr2), a potential target for plaque formation, was discovered recently. Herein, anti-Olfr2 siRNA (si-Olfr2) targeting macrophages was designed, and the theranostic platform encapsulating si-Olfr2 to target macrophages within atherosclerotic lesions was also developed, with the aim of downregulating Olfr2, as well as diagnosing AS through photoacoustic imaging (PAI) in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window with high resolution. By utilization of a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive nanocarrier system, the expression of Olfr2 on macrophages within atherosclerotic plaques was effectively downregulated, leading to the inhibition of NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation and interleukin-1 \u03b2 (IL-1\u03b2) secretion, thereby reducing the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. As manifested by decreased Olfr2 expression, the lesions exhibited a significantly alleviated inflammatory response that led to reduced lipid deposition, macrophage apoptosis, and a noticeable decrease in the necrotic areas. This study provides a proof of concept for evaluating the theranostic nanoplatform to specifically deliver si-Olfr2 to lesional macrophages for AS diagnosis and treatment.",

However, delivering siRNA with site-targeted stability and therapeutic efficacy is still challenging due to the complex and dynamic intestinal microenvironment. Here, based on the functional plant-derived ginger extracellular vesicles (EVs) and porous ZIF-8 nanoparticles, we propose a novel TNF-\u03b1 siRNA delivery strategy (EVs@ZIF-8@siRNA) for UC targeted therapy. Ginger EVs show strong colon and macrophage targeting, as well as robust resistance to acidic degradation in the stomach. Moreover, 6-shogaol in ginger-derived EVs displays anti-inflammatory effects, which enhance the treatment efficiency by cooperation with TNF-\u03b1 siRNA. In vitro experiments reveal that ZIF-8 nanoparticles have high TNF-\u03b1 siRNA loading capacity and promote siRNA escape from cellular lysosomes. In vivo experiments show that the TNF-\u03b1 level is reduced more significantly in colonic tissue than other nontargeted inflammation related factors, showing a good targeting of this composite nanoparticle. Furthermore, gut microbiota sequencing results demonstrate that the nanoparticles can promote intestinal barrier repair by regulating the intestinal microbial balance and restoring the intestinal health of UC mice. Therefore, the developed EVs@ZIF-8@siRNA nanoparticles may represent a novel colon-targeted oral drug, providing a promising therapeutic strategy for UC therapy.",

The C315R and H359L may play an important role in ASFV replication and transcription. Here, we evaluated the biological function of the C315R and H359L genes during virus replication in vitro and during infection in pigs. Results showed that C315R and H359L are highly conserved among ASFV genotype II strains; quantitative PCR (qPCR) and western blotting analyses revealed that C315R and H359L are early transcribed genes prior to viral DNA replication, but their protein expression is delayed. The immunofluorescence and western blotting analysis revealed that both proteins localized in the cell cytoplasm and nucleus at 24\u2009h post infection, however, pH359L was mainly detected in the cell cytoplasm. Furthermore, overexpression of pH359L in MA104 cells significantly increased viral titer, RNA transcription levels, and viral protein expression levels, while overexpression of pC315R slightly enhanced ASFV replication. In contrast, siRNA targeting ASFV-H359L or C315R reduced replication efficiency in porcine macrophage culture compared to the parent ASFV-CN/SC/2019, demonstrating that C315R and H359L genes are necessary for ASFV replication. Finally, the functional role of C315R or H359L on PKR and eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation status and SG formation, as well as cytokine production were evaluated. These studies demonstrated that C315R and H359L are involved in virus replication processes in swine and play important roles in ASFV replication.",

STAT1-mediated M1 macrophages are confirmed to secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines to accelerate inflammatory cascade and IUA formation by multi-omics analysis and experimental verification. However, clinically used hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels are prone to slip out of injury sites due to poor bio-adhesion properties. Therefore, there are still challenges in applying hydrogels for M1 macrophage intervention in IUA treatment. Herein, an engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs) hybrid snail mucus (SM)-enhanced adhesive hydrogels to improve bio-adhesion property is fabricated and M1 macrophage intervention through targeting delivery and STAT1 silencing is achieved. First, inspired by the high bio-adhesion capacity of SM, SM and gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) solution are mixed to construct GelMA/SM (GS) hydrogel. Then, folic acid-modified extracellular vesicles (FA-EVs) are synthesized for targeting the delivery of STAT1-siRNA. Upon injection of FA-EVs hybrid GS hydrogel into the uterine cavity, a protective hydrogel layer forms on the surface of injury sites and sustains the release of STAT1-siRNA-loaded FA-EVs to curtail M1 macrophages generation through inhibiting STAT1 phosphorylation, resulting in reduction of myofibroblasts activation and collagen deposition. In addition, the pregnancy rate and the number of fetuses in rats treated with this hydrogel were much higher than those in other groups, suggesting that the hydrogel could promote functional endometrial regeneration and restore fertility. Overall, this study presents a promising strategy for employing FA-EVs hybrid adhesive hydrogel with superior bio-adhesion properties and M1 macrophage targeting delivery for IUA treatment and uterus recovery.",

MiR-106b-3p has been shown to play a paradoxical role in disease progressing from different studies. However, its specific role in HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-HCC) and the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Huh7 cells transient transfected with plasmids of HBV-C2 and B3 were co-cultured with IFN-exo. Cell supernatants were collected to detect miR-106b-3p, HBsAg, HBeAg and HBV DNA levels. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion were analyzed. The putative targets of miR-106b-3p were identified by a dual-luciferase reporter system. The expression of PCGF3, migratory proteins(MMP2/9), and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway-related proteins were assessed by western blot. The expression of PCGF3 mRNA was quantitative analyzed by using 52 pairs of paraffin-embedded tissues from HCC patients. siRNAs-PCGF3 were used to knocked-down PCGF3 expression. The expression of miR-106b-3p was significantly higher in THP-1 cells and supernatants treated with IFN-exo than those untreated. Significantly increased expression of miR-106b-3p and decreased expression of HBsAg and HBV DNA were observed in Huh7-C2/B3 cells treated with IFN-exo. In addition, miR-106b-3p was directly target to PCGF3. Scratch healing assay and transwell assay showed that either IFN-exo or miRNA-106-3p over-expression, or siRNAs-PCGF3 inhibited migration and invasion of Huh7-C2/B3 cells, and subsequently resulted in suppression of p-AKT/AKT and p-PI3K/PI3K. Notably, the expression level of PCGF3 was significantly lower in HBeAg (+)-HCC tumor tissues than HBeAg (-)-HCC tumor. IFN-\u03b1-induced macrophage-derived miR-106b-3p inhibits HBV replication, HBV- Huh7 cells migration and invasion via regulating PCGF3/PI3K/AKT signaling axis. miR-106b-3p and PCGF3 were potential biomarkers in the prevention and treatment of HBV-HCC.",

Based on previous research, we identified interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1)-mediated macrophage pyroptosis as a potential therapeutic target for myocarditis. Herein, we fabricated an innovative immune cell membrane-coated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nano-delivery platform and explored its effects on myocarditis. ZIF-8 nanoparticles loaded with siRNA targeting IRF1 (siIRF1) were coated with a T lymphocyte-macrophage hybrid membrane (siIRF1@ZIF@HM NPs) via sonication and extrusion. The morphological and biological characteristics of the nanoparticles were evaluated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Cellular cytotoxicity was assessed by a cell counting kit-8 assay. Cellular uptake and endo-lysosomal escape in M1-differentiated macrophages were visualized via fluorescence microscopy. The targeting specificity and anti-myocarditis effects were evaluated in an experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) mouse model. The anti-pyroptosis effects were assessed by Western blot analysis both in vivo and in vitro. Transcriptional sequencing identified T lymphocytes and macrophages as suitable membrane sources. The ZIF-8 nanoparticles exhibited high siRNA loading capacity and pH responsiveness, enabling an efficient release of siIRF1 from endo-lysosomes to the cytoplasm in macrophages. The hybrid membrane coating enabled specific targeting of M1 macrophages both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, delivery of siIRF1 effectively suppressed IRF1 expression and inhibited pyroptosis in IFN-\u03b3-stimulated macrophages. Intravenous injection of siIRF1@ZIF@HM NPs significantly alleviated myocarditis progression without evident side effects. The siIRF1 nanotherapeutic approach shows potential for attenuating myocardial inflammation and mitigating myocarditis progression. Our study highlights the promise of this customized biomimetic nano-delivery system for treating inflammatory diseases.",

We sought to further define the activation status of hepatic and pulmonary macrophage populations in Ebola virus disease. We compared liver and lung tissue from terminal Ebola virus (EBOV)-infected and uninfected control cynomolgus macaques challenged via the conjunctival route. Gene and protein expression was quantified using the nCounter and GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiling platforms. Macrophage phenotypes were further quantified by digital pathology analysis. Hepatic macrophages in the EBOV-infected group demonstrated a mixed inflammatory/non-inflammatory profile, with upregulation of CD163 protein expression, associated with macrophage activation syndrome. Hepatic macrophages also showed differential expression of gene sets related to monocyte/macrophage differentiation, antigen presentation, and T cell activation, which were associated with decreased MHC-II allele expression. Moreover, hepatic macrophages had enriched expression of genes and proteins targetable with known immunomodulatory therapeutics, including S100A9, IDO1, and CTLA-4. No statistically significant differences in M1/M2 gene expression were observed in hepatic macrophages compared to controls. The significant changes that occurred in both the liver and lung were more pronounced in the liver. These data demonstrate that hepatic macrophages in terminal conjunctivally challenged cynomolgus macaques may express a unique inflammatory profile compared to other macaque models and that macrophage-related pharmacologically druggable targets are expressed in both the liver and the lung in Ebola virus disease.",

This study explores the potential of peptide vaccines that self-organize into amyloid-like fibrils, aiming to enhance immunogenicity while considering safety and cross-reactivity. We synthesized two peptides, G33 and G31, corresponding to a segment of the Ebola virus GP2 protein, with G33 known to form amyloid-like fibrils. Their toxicity was assessed in vitro using an MTT assay on MDCK and A549 cell cultures. For in vivo studies, balb/c mice were immunized with these peptides. Immunogenicity was gauged by ELISA for specific antibodies against the recombinant eGP protein. Hematological parameters were determined, and histopathological changes in organs were documented post-euthanasia. Both peptides exhibited no cytotoxicity up to 500\u00a0\u03bcg/mL. G33-immunized mice developed higher antibody titers than those receiving G31 or control, without significant alterations in hematological profiles. However, histological analysis showed periportal infiltration and lymphoid-macrophage clusters in the liver and kidneys, suggesting immune response activation. The homology between the G33 peptide and mammalian proteins poses risks of cross-reactivity. The amyloid-like fibrils formed by the G33 peptide elicited a stronger immune response without significant hematological changes, underlining the feasibility of fibril-based peptide vaccines. However, the potential for autoimmune responses due to molecular mimicry warrants further investigation before clinical applications can be considered.",

Despite the availability of conventional treatments, they are often marred by significant side effects and the associated high costs. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) offer a compelling alternative, owing to their abundant availability, affordability, low immunogenicity, high biocompatibility, and feasibility for large-scale production. These vesicles enhance intercellular communication by transferring intrinsic bioactive molecules. In our research, we delve into the capacity of PEVs to treat RA, highlighting the role of ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (GDEVs). By conjugating GDEVs with folic acid (FA), we have developed FA-GDEVs that maintain their inherent immunomodulatory properties. FA-GDEVs are designed to selectively target M1 macrophages in inflamed joints via the folate receptors (FRs). Our in vitro findings indicate that FA-GDEVs promote the polarization towards a reparative M2 macrophage phenotype by modulating the PI3K-AKT pathway. Further corroboration comes from in vivo studies, which demonstrate that FA-GDEVs not only concentrate efficiently in the affected joints but also markedly reduce the manifestations of RA. Synthesizing these findings, it is evident that FA-GDEVs emerge as a hopeful candidate for RA treatment, offering benefits such as safety, affordability, and therapeutic efficacy.",

To avoid off-target expression in the liver, miR-122 binding sites have been used by others in viral and non-viral therapeutics. Here, we use a luciferase reporter system to compare different copy numbers and insertion locations of miR-122 binding sequences to restrict liver expression. We inserted one to five miR-122 binding sites into the 5' or 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of luciferase mRNAs and tested them in LNPs in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo via systemic intravenous and local intramuscular injections in mice. Our results showed no significant differences in de-targeting efficacy between mRNAs harboring one or multiple miR-122 binding sites or between those with 5' or 3' UTR placements. To test the impact of miR-122 binding sites on antibody response to a mRNA vaccine, Ebola virus matrix protein VP40 mRNAs were modified with or without miR-122 binding sites and injected in mice intramuscularly.

This study tests the hypothesis that inflammation is associated with PASE among survivors with and without viral RNA shedding in the semen. This was a case-control study nested in a longitudinal cohort that recruited confirmed survivors of EVD and their uninfected contacts from the 2013-16\u00a0EVD epidemic in Liberia, starting on June 1, 2015. We included participants aged at least 18\u00a0years with clinical data and plasma available at cohort baseline for analysis. A\u00a0semen donation substudy tested male survivors for Ebola virus RNA shedding in the semen. A sex-stratified and survivor-stratified random sample of cases (survivors) and controls (contacts) was obtained to select stored baseline plasma samples for cytokine testing of markers of inflammation, immune regulation, and antiviral responses. Serostatus of cases and controls was confirmed by Filovirus Animal Nonclinical Group assay. We identified inflammatory markers (adjusted p\u22640\u00b705) elevated in cases compared with controls and then used these biomarkers in analyses comparing survivors with and without pre-specified PASE-associated clinical findings (self-reported symptoms and abnormal examination findings). Survivors with viral RNA shedding in the semen formed subgroup analyses. Our analysis cohort consisted of 1044\u00a0participants (594 survivors of EVD and 450\u00a0uninfected contacts); 515\u00a0(49\u00b73%) were female and 529 (50\u00b77%) were male. The subcohort of 243\u00a0male survivors with data on viral shedding included 81 (33%) participants with viral shedding in semen. Median time from acute EVD to baseline was 317\u00a0days (IQR 271-366). Survivors of EVD showed a pattern of elevated inflammatory markers indicative of macrophage (MCP-1, IL-1\u03b2, and M-CSF) and angiogenic factor activation (VEGF-A) compared with controls (adjusted p<0\u00b705). In\u00a0survivors with viral shedding in the semen compared with controls, VEGF-A was the only inflammatory marker that was significantly higher (adjusted p<0\u00b7001). After restricting the analysis to survivors, each inflammatory marker had a specific pattern of clinical findings. Higher levels of IL-1\u03b2 were associated with higher odds of urinary frequency (p=0\u00b7002), musculoskeletal abnormalities (p=0\u00b7003), and abdominal abnormalities (p=0\u00b703). By contrast, higher levels of MCP-1 were associated with lower odds of the same clinical findings. M-CSF was the only inflammatory marker associated with lower odds of joint pain (p=0\u00b704). Higher levels of VEGF-A were associated with higher odds of abnormal chest findings in the overall survivor group (p=0\u00b702) and in the subgroup with viral shedding in the semen (p=0\u00b702). We found evidence of distinct biological pathways for PASE. Although viral RNA shedding in the semen could be associated with angiogenic activation, it did not explain many of the PASE symptoms and exam findings associated with the elevated macrophage markers, suggesting the pathobiology of some clinical manifestations might be autoimmunity, immune dysregulation, or another biological mechanism. These findings could inform shared biological pathways with other infection-associated chronic conditions, including post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

From them, erythrocytes membrane vesicles can be generated, employable as nano drug delivery system with prolonged blood residence and high biocompatibility. Human erythrocyte ghosts were extruded in the presence of siRNA, and the objects were termed EMVs (erythrocyte membrane vesicles). An ultracentrifugation-based method was applied to select only the densest EMVs, ie, those containing siRNA. We evaluated their activity in vitro in B16F10 cells expressing fluorescent tdTomato and in vivo in B16F10 tumor-bearing mice after a single injection. The EMVs had a negative zeta potential, a particle size of 170 nm and excellent colloidal stability after one month of storage. With 0.3 nM siRNA, more than 75% gene knockdown was achieved in vitro, and 80% was achieved in vivo, at 2 days PI at 2.5 mg/kg. EMVs mostly accumulate around blood vessels in the lungs, brain and tumor. tdTomato fluorescence steadily decreased in tumor areas with higher EMVs concentration, which indicates efficient gene knockdown. Approximately 2% of the initial dose of EMVs was still present in the plasma after 2 days. The entire production process of the purified siRNA-EMVs took approximately 4\u00a0hours.

"40251448": "ID: 40251448\nTitle: Metabolic remodelling produces fumarate via the aspartate-argininosuccinate shunt in macrophages as an antiviral defence.\nAbstract: Metabolic remodelling underpins macrophage effector functions in response to various stimuli, but the mechanisms involved are unclear. Here we report that viral-infection-induced inflammatory stimulation causes a rewiring of the urea cycle and the tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolism in macrophages to form a cyclic pathway called the aspartate-argininosuccinate (AAS) shunt. Using RNA sequencing, unbiased metabolomics and stable isotope tracing, we found that fumarate generated from the AAS shunt is driven by argininosuccinate synthase (ASS1) in the cytosol and potentiates inflammatory effects. Genetic ablation of ASS1 reduces intracellular fumarate levels and interferon-\u03b2 production, and mitochondrial respiration is also suppressed. Notably, viral challenge or fumarate esters enhance interferon-\u03b2 production via direct succination of the mitochondrial antiviral signalling protein and activation of the retinoic acid-inducible gene-I-like receptor signalling. In addition to the vesicular stomatitis virus, the Sendai virus and influenza A virus can also exert these effects. In addition, patients with Ebola virus disease have increased ASS1 expression and ASS1-deficient mice show suppressed macrophage interferon responses to vesicular stomatitis virus infection. These findings reveal that fumarate can be produced from the viral inflammation-induced AAS shunt and is essential for antiviral innate immunity.",
"40295691": "ID: 40295691\nTitle: Human macrophages infected with Egyptian Rousette bat-isolated Marburg virus display inter-individual susceptibility and antiviral responsiveness.\nAbstract: Marburg virus (MARV) is a highly pathogenic filovirus and a causative agent of sporadic zoonotic viral hemorrhagic fever outbreaks with high case fatality rates. In humans, filoviruses like MARV and Zaire Ebola virus (EBOV) target, among others, innate immune cells like dendritic cells and macrophages (M\u03a6s). Filovirus-infected dendritic cells display impaired maturation and antigen presentation, while M\u03a6s become hyper-activated and secrete proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Our current understanding of human macrophage responses to MARV remains limited. Here, we used human monocyte-derived macrophages (moM\u03a6s) to address how their phenotype, transcriptional profile, and protein expression change upon an in vitro infection with a bat isolate of MARV. Confirming its tropism for macrophages, we show that MARV induces notable shifts in their transcription distinct from responses induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), marked by upregulated gene expression of several chemokines, type I interferons, and IFN-stimulated genes. MARV infection also elicited pronounced inter-individually different transcriptional programs in moM\u03a6s, the induction of Wnt signaling-associated genes, and the downregulation of multiple biological processes and molecular pathways.",

As an essential therapeutic approach for breast cancer, chemotherapy encounters various clinical challenges like multidrug resistance and systemic toxicity. Nanotechnology has shown progress in addressing chemotherapy drug limitations. However, externally introduced nanoparticles are typically captured by the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) post-administration. To mitigate chemotherapy drug toxicity and enhance drug delivery efficiency, we combined ROS-responsive cationic liposomes (cLip) with macrophage-derived exosomes to create biomimetic nanocomplex (E-cLip-DTX/si) for co-delivery docetaxel (DTX) and Bcl-2 siRNA. We encapsulated docetaxel (DTX) and Bcl-2 siRNA as model drugs into biomimetic nanocomplexes and validated their antitumor efficacy in vitro and in vivo. In vitro and vivo tests show that E-cLip-DTX/si can react to ROS, promote apoptosis of tumor cells effectively, and prolong circulation time. In breast cancer mouse model, E-cLip-DTX/si displays notable tumor accumulation efficiency, remarkable anti-tumor effects, and a favorable safety profile. We have developed a ROS-responsive biomimetic nanocomplexes that efficiently delivers DTX and Bcl-2 siRNA into the tumor site, overcoming the MPS barrier and extending the blood circulation time of the drug. Hence, biomimetic nanocomplex is a promising drug delivery platform with controlled drug release and biocompatibility for effective anti-tumor treatment.",

To date, there are no available vaccines against ASFV. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that are released from most cell types. Exosomes carry components such as nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins that play a vital role in cell-to-cell communication. This study investigated the effect of exosomes derived from the serum of ASFV-infected pigs on a porcine macrophage cell line. Exosomes derived from the serum of pigs infected with ASFV contained ASFV structural proteins (p30 and p72). Expression levels of interferon (IFN)-\u03b1, IFN-\u03b3, IL-6, and CXCL8 in porcine macrophage cells were affected by exposure to exosomes derived from the serum of ASFV-infected pigs. Nuclear factor-\u03baB (NF-\u03baB) and Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway play an important role in the immune response to ASFV infection. Exosomes derived from ASFV-infected pigs affected mRNA and protein levels of NF-\u03baB, tank binding kinase 1 (TBK1), JAK1, JAK2, and STAT1, suggesting that exosomes derived from ASFV-infected pigs mediate antiviral response by modulating the expression of inflammatory cytokines and activity of the NF-\u03baB and JAK-STAT signaling pathways. The present study provides novel information about the immunomodulatory effects of exosome derived from pigs infected with ASFV, improving our understanding of ASFV pathogenesis and the host immune response to ASFV infection.",
"40431699": "ID: 40431699\nTitle: Development of a Pentacistronic Ebola Virus Minigenome System.\nAbstract: Ebola virus (EBOV) causes severe disease outbreaks in humans with high case fatality rates. EBOV requires adaptation to cause lethal disease in mice by acquiring single mutations in both the nucleoprotein (NP) and VP24 genes. As an attempt to model mouse-adapted EBOV (MA-EBOV), we engineered novel pentacistronic minigenomes (5xMG) containing a reporter gene, VP40, and glycoprotein genes as well as the NP and VP24 genes from either EBOV or MA-EBOV. The 5xMGs were constructed and optimized, and the produced transcription- and replication-competent virus-like particles (trVLPs) were demonstrated to infect several cell lines. Introduction of the mouse-adaptation mutations did not significantly impact the replication and transcription of the 5xMG or the relative infectivity of the trVLPs in vitro. This work demonstrates the development of the 5xMG system as a new versatile tool to study EBOV biology.",

Concurrently, M1 macrophages undergo transformation into M2 macrophages. In our previous studies, we demonstrated that extracellular vesicles secreted by NBL (NBL-EVs) significantly express the microRNA (miRNA) cel-let-7-5p. In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory effects and mechanisms of action of EVs derived from T. spiralis NBL and the influence of their key miRNA, cel-let-7-5p, on M1 macrophages. This study investigates the impact of T. spiralis NBL-EVs and cel-let-7-5p on RAW264.7 macrophages through in vitro co-culture, followed by a dual luciferase assay to confirm C/EBP\u03b4 as the target of cel-let-7-5p. M1-polarized RAW264.7 cells were subsequently transfected with various agents, including NBL-EVs, cel-let-7-5p mimic, C/EBP\u03b4 small interfering RNA (siRNA), and so forth. The cell functions, surface molecule expression, transcription, and cytokine release were analyzed using flow cytometry, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), western blot, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of NBL-EVs and cel-let-7-5p on macrophage polarization. Results show that cel-let-7-5p transported by T. spiralis NBL-EVs inhibited the functional activity of M1 RAW264.7 macrophages by targeting C/EBP\u03b4. This inhibition was validated by reduced CD86 and increased CD206 expression, along with decreased nitric oxide (NO) synthesis and downregulation of the M1 marker genes interleukin-12 (IL-12) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). In contrast, the messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of IL-10 and arginase-1 (Arg1), which are M2 characteristic genes, were significantly enhanced. However, the release of M1 pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1), and IL-1\u03b2, was decreased proportionally. Notably, introducing a cel-let-7-5p inhibitor effectively reversed the suppressive effect of NBL-EVs on M1 macrophage function and partially mitigated their transition to the M2 phenotype, notably impacting Arg1 gene expression. However, no significant changes were observed in CD206 protein expression or IL-10 mRNA levels. The findings of this study reveal that cel-let-7-5p in T. spiralis NBL-EVs can inhibit the function of M1-type RAW264.7 macrophages by targeting C/EBP\u03b4.",

However, the traffic network used for its release from polarized hepatocytes is not completely understood. We propose that eHAV biogenesis may follow not only an ESCRT-mediated pathway but also the syndecan-syntenin-ALIX pathway. The Bro1 and the V domains of ALIX bind to the pX extension of VP1 and the VP2-late domains of the unmature capsid, respectively. A Serine-to-Glycine replacement at position 134 of VP2, closely located with the first late domain, facilitates the interaction with ALIX promoting the syndecan-syntenin-ALIX pathway and improving the basolateral egress, preferentially using RAB35. This replacement is conserved in hepatoviruses infecting a wide range of mammalian species, but not in hepatoviruses infecting chimpanzees and humans. An inefficient basolateral egress could be a strategy to escape the antiviral cellular response in apes.",

The latter enables immune evasion through multiple mechanisms, facilitating infections in skin, mucosa, and neural tissues. This review synthesizes current knowledge on human herpesvirus cell-to-cell transmission mechanisms, including syncytium formation, tight junction exploitation, exosomal transfer, and tunneling nanotube utilization. We analyze how these strategies enhance infection efficiency, evade immune surveillance, and augment pathogenicity. Furthermore, we discuss recent intervention strategies targeting cell-to-cell transmission, including the development of monoclonal antibodies, antiviral drugs, and vaccines. These inights provide a theoretical foundation for developing novel approaches against human herpesvirus infections.",

Gene therapy raises a prospective option to overcome the challenges posed by conventional therapeutic strategies. The CX3CL1-CX3CR1 axis plays a critical role in promoting tumor cell proliferation, migration, and metastasis in PDAC. Targeted delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) against CX3CR1 through M1 phenotype macrophage extracellular vesicles is a potential strategy to achieve accurate PDAC treatment. This study sought to investigate the therapeutic potential of siRNA specifically targeting CX3CR1 in PDAC via loading into extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from M1 macrophages, evaluating its therapeutic efficacy through in vitro and in vivo experiments. The results demonstrated that siCX3CR1 was successfully incorporated into extracellular vesicles originating from M1 macrophages. M1 EV/siCX3CR1 significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of AsPC-1 cells in vitro. In the AsPC-1 subcutaneously transplanted tumor model, M1 EV/siCX3CR1 also exhibited a significant tumor-suppressive effect. Overall, the loading of siCX3CR1 into M1 EVs holds promise as a potential therapeutic approach for pancreatic cancer treatment in the future.",

Here, we developed a targeted biomimetic drug delivery system, TP-siRC@tHyNPs, by fusing exosomes derived from engineered cells overexpressing DR5 single-chain variable fragments (DR5-Exo) with liposomes coencapsulating triptolide (TP) and CYP3A4-siRNA (TP-siRC@Lip). DR5-Exo facilitated the targeted delivery of drug to tumor cells through DR5 receptor recognition and simultaneously activated apoptotic pathways. Moreover, CYP3A4-siRNA effectively prolonged the half-life of TP, thereby enhancing its antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects. Mechanistic studies revealed that TP-siRC@tHyNPs induced immunogenic cell death, reprogrammed macrophage polarization, arrested cell cycle progression, and triggered apoptotic pathways. In vivo experiments demonstrated that TP-siRC@tHyNPs specifically accumulated in lung tissue, notably inhibiting the growth of PMM while exhibiting negligible toxicity in tumor-bearing mice. Overall, this study provides a promising strategy for targeting PMM treatment, improving therapeutic efficacy while reducing off-target toxicity.",
"40704538": "ID: 40704538\nTitle: Tethered Exosomes Containing the Matrix Metalloproteinase MT1-MMP Contribute to Extracellular Matrix Degradation.\nAbstract: For cancer cells to escape from the primary tumour and metastasize, they must degrade and navigate through the extracellular matrix (ECM). The transmembrane protease MT1-matrix metalloprotease (MMP) plays a key role in localized matrix degradation, and its overexpression promotes cancer invasion. In this study, we demonstrate that MT1-MMP is trafficked to the intraluminal vesicles of multivesicular endosomes, and subsequently released from cells on exosomes, a subtype of extracellular vesicle that can be retained to the surface of the originating cell by the anti-viral restriction factor, tetherin. Although tetherin overexpression is linked to increased cell migration and invasion in various cancers, its role in these processes remains unclear. Our findings reveal that expression of tetherin by breast cancer cells promotes the retention of MT1-MMP-positive exosomes at their cell surface, while tetherin loss enhances exosome escape and impairs ECM degradation. Thus, tethered exosomes promote the retention of MT1-MMP at the surface of cells, aiding the degradation of the ECM and promoting cancer cell invasion.",
"40712413": "ID: 40712413\nTitle: Engineering nanoplatforms of bacterial outer membrane vesicles to overcome cancer therapy resistance.\nAbstract: Resistance to cancer therapy is driven by physical barriers, tumor heterogeneity, selective therapeutic pressure, immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and others. Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) represent a promising nanotherapeutic platform to combat cancer therapy resistance. This review discusses the dual roles of OMVs in tumorigenesis and cancer therapy, highlighting their potential applications to enhance treatment efficacy. OMVs from pathogenic bacteria, such as Fusobacterium nucleatum and Helicobacter pylori, exacerbate chemoresistance by reshaping TME through hypoxia-induced metabolic reprogramming and immune evasion, while OMVs from some bacteria, such as probiotics, counteract immunosuppression by promoting cytotoxic T-cell infiltration and macrophage polarization. As bio-derived and conveniently engineered drug delivery platforms, OMVs maximize the synergetic anticancer effect by pathogen associated molecular patterns and the payloads. These functional payloads include siRNAs, cytotoxicity and molecular agents, and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Bacterial OMVs demonstrate unique advantages through their capacity to penetrate physical barriers, achieve tumor-specific targeting, activate immune responses, to overcome cancer therapy resistance. A successful example is the OMV-based nanoplatform with engineered OMVs co-delivering CD47-siRNA and doxorubicin to overcome drug resistance by inducing immunogenic cell death and dendritic cell activation of glioblastoma. Furthermore, OMV-based cancer vaccines presented with tumor antigens or hybridized with tumor-derived membranes enhance dendritic cell maturation and antigen-specific T-cell responses, reversing treatment resistance. By addressing challenges in mass production and safety concerns, OMVs-based platforms can be developed as powerful tools for more effective and personalized cancer treatments.",

In this study, we first report the identification of an abietane-type diterpenoid, 17-hydroxy-jolkinolide B (HJKB), from E. fischeriana, which exhibits potent antimycobacterial activity against both Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra strain and clinical isolates. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of HJKB against diverse M. tuberculosis strains range from 1 to 12\u00a0\u03bcg/mL. Notably, HJKB demonstrates significant bactericidal activity against intracellular M. tuberculosis H37Ra in macrophage models, accompanied by anti-inflammatory effects at concentrations of 2-5\u00a0\u03bcg/mL. Using a combination of chemoproteomic analysis and pull-down assays, we explored the preliminary antimycobacterial mechanism of HJKB. Results indicate that HJKB interacts with the target proteins RpoB and RpoC in M. tuberculosis H37Ra, a finding further corroborated by molecular docking studies. RpoB and RpoC are essential subunits of the DNA-directed RNA polymerase holoenzyme, which is critical for bacterial ribosomal transcription regulation. In summary, HJKB represents a bioactive constituent of E. fischeriana with anti-TB efficacy, acting as a transcription inhibitor against M. tuberculosis. This study not only elucidates its antimycobacterial mechanism but also provides a preclinical foundation for the development of natural product-based TB therapeutics.",

We hypothesized that micro(mi)-RNAs dysregulated by vaginal pathobiont bacteria epigenetically control host pathways exploited by the virus. The impact of these endogenous non-coding short RNAs on the anti-viral mucosal barrier function in the female reproductive tract is largely unknown. This study utilized cervicovaginal specimens collected during the luteal and follicular phase of the menstrual cycle along with data on age, race, ethnicity, education, and body mass index from 141 healthy reproductive-age women confirmed negative for sexually transmitted infections. Vaginal microbiota was classified by Nugent scoring. Shot-gun vaginal microbiome sequencing and metagenome taxonomic classification was performed on a subset of 21 women. Levels of miRNAs in exosomes isolated from cervicovaginal secretions were quantified using the EdgeSeq-NextGen global transcriptome platform. Differential expression (DE) was determined using R. Epigenetic target prediction was performed using MirTarBase. MiRNA profiles varied by both Nugent score categories (0-3 scores = normal, 4-6 = intermediate, and 7-10 = bacterial vaginosis, BV) and by metagenome classification. Higher microbiome diversity was associated with higher number of significantly dysregulated miRNAs (588 in BV compared to Nugent 0-3 versus 42 in Nugent 4-6 compared to Nugent 0-3, false discovery rate FDR<0.01) affecting over 400 experimentally validated genes targeted for post-transcriptional regulation. The miRNAs dysregulated by G. vaginalis -dominated compared to L. crispatus -dominated metagenomes included 24 DE miRNAs (92% overlap with BV by Nugent score) and 112 validated target genes. BV-dysregulated miRNA mediated the immunosuppressive effects of BV on cytokine levels previously associated with HIV acquisition risk. The gene ontology predictions based on BV-dysregulated miRNAs identified enrichment for 445 downregulated and 50 upregulated genes previously validated as part of the HIV-host interactome. miRNAs mediation revealed a mechanism of suppressed immunity by BV predictive of HIV risk. In conclusion, miRNAs dysregulated by vaginal dysbiosis may facilitate immune imbalance and cellular pathways associated with HIV risk.",

Conventional therapies remain limited by systemic drug toxicity and fail to coordinate immunomodulation with matrix remodeling. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles have demonstrated tissue repair potential owing to their unique bioactive components and exceptional cross-species compatibility. Nevertheless, their therapeutic role in tendon matrix regeneration remains underexplored. Here, we developed a grapefruit-derived exosome-loaded microneedle patch (MN@GF-Exos) to synergistically restored tendon structure and functions. Grapefruit-derived exosomes (GF-Exos) were loaded into dissolvable hyaluronic acid microneedles (MNs) for sustained release. GF-Exos reversed oxidative stress in tenocytes, enhancing cellular proliferation and migration, restoring collagen I synthesis, and polarizing macrophages toward M2-repair phenotypes. Transcriptomics revealed GF-Exos modulated cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions, suppressing inflammation-related pathways and activating ECM organization genes. In collagenase-induced tendinopathy mice, MN@GF-Exos enhanced gait recovery and extracellular matrix remodeling. Histology confirmed reduced fibrosis without ectopic ossification. Systemic safety was validated by unchanged organ histology and within-normal-limits serum biomarkers. This dual-functional system leverages plant exosomes' multi-component synergy and MN's spatiotemporal control, offering a translatable strategy for chronic tendon regeneration.",

Despite the growing burden of flaviviral infections, there are no effective antiviral treatments or vaccines, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic targets. Tetraspanins, a superfamily of transmembrane domain glycoproteins involved in cellular organization, signaling, and protein-protein interactions have been recognized as potential mediators of flaviviral infection and transmission. While their roles in vertebrate hosts have been explored, their involvement in flaviviral replication and dissemination within medically important vectors remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the role of arthropod tetraspanins in mosquito cells and extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from cells infected with Zika virus (ZIKV) and dengue virus (serotype 2; DENV2). Among several of the tetraspanins analyzed, only CD151 was significantly upregulated in both mosquito cells and in EVs derived from ZIKV/DENV2-infected cells. RNAi-mediated silencing of CD151 led to a marked reduction in viral burden, suggesting its crucial role in flavivirus replication. Inhibition of EV biogenesis using GW4869 further demonstrated that EV-mediated viral transmission contributes to flavivirus propagation. Additionally, co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence analyses revealed direct interactions between CD151 and ZIKV NS2B and DENV2 capsid proteins. Overall, our findings highlight the functional importance of mosquito CD151 in the replication and transmission of ZIKV and DENV2. This study provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms of flaviviral infection in mosquitoes and suggests that targeting vector tetraspanins may offer a potential approach to controlling mosquito-borne flaviviruses.",
"40812552": "ID: 40812552\nTitle: Pre-silencing of TNF-\u03b1 by targeted siRNA delivery mitigates glucocorticoid resistance of dexamethasone in rheumatoid arthritis.\nAbstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, progressive inflammatory autoimmune disease marked by relentless synovial inflammation and joint destruction, for which long-term remission remains challenging. Although dexamethasone (DEX) is commonly employed to rapidly control disease activity, its therapeutic effectiveness is often undermined by the development of glucocorticoid resistance (GCR) and cumulative systemic toxicities. Recent insights suggest that TNF-\u03b1-driven inflammation not only perpetuates joint pathology but also sustains a molecular landscape that favors GCR, underscoring an urgent need for therapeutic strategies that jointly target inflammatory signaling and steroid sensitivity. Here, we report a nanomedicine-enabled sequential therapy, in which TNF-\u03b1 specific siRNA (siTNF\u03b1) and DEX are separately encapsulated within macrophage-targeted polymersomes (MTP-T and MTP-D, respectively). Through intravenous administration of MTP-T, followed by the intraperitoneal delivery of MTP-D (designated as MTP-T/D(seq)), this sequential therapy acheives efficient knockdown of TNF-\u03b1 in inflammatory macrophages, leading to enhanced expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR), an elevated GR\u03b1/GR\u03b2 ratio, and a substantial reversal of GCR. This modulation sensitizes macrophages to DEX, enabling rapid and effective suppression of pro-inflammatory mediators while reducing toxicity. Our findings demonstrate that our sequential therapy in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse models not only mitigates joint inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction but also normalizes the M2/M1 macrophage balance, attenuating synovial hyperplasia and cartilage damage as confirmed by molecular and histological analyses. These findings validate a precision-engineered immune microenvironment remodeling strategy that restores glucocorticoid responsiveness and confers potent therapeutic benefits, offering a compelling blueprint for overcoming steroid resistance in RA.",

Whether MLAV poses a threat to human health is uncertain. However, the MLAV VP35 and VP40 proteins can impair IFN\u03b1/\u03b2 gene expression and block IFN\u03b1/\u03b2-induced Jak-STAT signaling, respectively, suggesting the capacity to counteract human innate immune defenses. In this study, MLAV VP40 is demonstrated to impair the Sendai virus (SeV)-induced activation of the IFN\u03b2 promoter. Inhibition is independent of the MLAV VP40 PPPY late-domain motif that interacts with host proteins possessing WW-domains to promote viral budding. Similar IFN\u03b2 promoter inhibition was not detected for EBOV or MARV VP40. MLAV VP40 exhibited lesser capacity to inhibit TNF\u03b1 activation of an NF-\u03baB reporter gene. MLAV VP40 impaired IFN\u03b2 promoter activation by an over-expressed, constitutively active form of RIG-I and by the over-expressed IRF3 kinases TBK1 and IKK\u03b5. However, MLAV VP40 did not inhibit IFN\u03b2 promoter activation by constitutively active IRF3 5D. Consistent with these findings, MLAV VP40 inhibited SeV-induced IRF3 phosphorylation. Although IRF3 phosphorylation occurs in the cytoplasm, MLAV VP40 exhibits substantial nuclear localization, accumulating in foci in HeLa cell nuclei. In contrast, the VP40 of EBOV and MARV exhibited lower degrees of nuclear localization and did not accumulate in foci. MLAV VP40 interacts with importin alpha-1 (IMP\u03b11), suggesting entry via the IMP\u03b1/IMP\u03b2 nuclear import pathway. Cumulatively, these data identify novel features that distinguish MLAV VP40 from its homologues in EBOV and MARV.",

This has led to significant interest from academic institutions and pharmaceutical companies. However, the intrinsic hepatic tropism of LNPs limits their potential for targeted siRNA delivery to tumors. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), as natural nucleic acid carriers, exhibit unique biological properties. In recent years, EVs derived from M1 macrophages have gained particular attention for tumor-targeted therapy. Bioinspired nanovesicles composed of LNPs and M1 macrophage-derived EVs may combine the advantageous characteristics of both carriers and offer a promising vehicle for siRNA delivery to tumor tissues, thus warranting further investigation. This chapter outlines a laboratory-scale method for constructing bioinspired nanovesicles. First, a range of experimental methods for screening and optimizing these nanovesicles are introduced. Then, various assessment metrics such as siRNA encapsulation efficiency, vesicle fusion efficiency, and target gene silencing efficiency are discussed.

Here, we demonstrated that BPA and DBP bidirectionally disrupt bone homeostasis by targeting CD36 in bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Mechanistically, both chemicals upregulate CD36 expression, which sequesters ATG9a at the Golgi apparatus, inhibits autophagosome maturation, and thereby impairs osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, as evidenced by reduced ALP and RUNX-2 levels. Exosomes from BPA-treated BMSCs contain elevated RANKL, NFATC1, and osteoclast-promoting miRNAs, driving RAW264.7 macrophages toward bone-resorbing osteoclast phenotypes. Importantly, siRNA-mediated CD36 knockdown in BMSCs restores autophagy, recovers osteogenic markers, normalizes exosomal cargo, and reduces osteoclastogenic potential. Furthermore, in vivo rat mandibular defect models validate that BPA exposure impairs bone repair, alters CD36-dependent autophagy and osteoclastogenesis, effects that were ameliorated by CD36 silencing. Collectively, these dual actions-autophagy inhibition in BMSCs and exosome-mediated osteoclastogenesis-converge to disturb bone remodeling, providing novel insights into the pathogenesis of endocrine disruptor-induced osteoporosis and identifying CD36 as a promising therapeutic target for preserving skeletal integrity.",

While small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated HSP70 suppression offers a promising solution, optimal timing for this therapeutic combination remains unexplored. Here, it is demonstrated that precisely timed administration significantly enhances MPTT efficacy through systematic temporal characterization of HSP70 expression dynamics. A three-component temperature-sensitive hybrid nanocarrier (I-sR@MLNP) is developed that integrates: 1) indocyanine green dimer (ICG-II) with exceptional photothermal conversion efficiency (PTCE, 95.4%); 2) macrophage membrane-derived lipid nanoparticles for active TNBC targeting through integrin \u03b14/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) axis; and 3) HSP70-targeting siRNA to overcome thermo-resistance. This multifunctional platform enables spatiotemporally controlled co-delivery and photo-triggered release of both therapeutic agents. Through comprehensive profiling of post-release HSP70 mRNA and protein kinetics, a critical therapeutic window is identified at 36\u00a0h post-initial treatment when siRNA-mediated suppression maximally sensitized cancer cells to subsequent thermal stress. In mouse TNBC models, this temporally optimized two-phase MPTT approach achieves superior tumor reduction compared to conventional single-treatment (+87%) or non-optimized protocols (+43%). The findings establish a novel time modulated framework for enhancing nanomedicine efficacy by aligning treatment scheduling with underlying molecular kinetics-a strategy with potential applications across various siRNA-based cancer therapies where timing of intervention may significantly impact therapeutic outcomes.",

These membrane-bound vesicles are involved in several biological processes and are essential because they play a vital role in regulating viral infections. Given the global burden of viral diseases, understanding the interaction between EVs and viruses is crucial for the development of novel diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the structure and nature of EVs, as well as their biogenesis and molecular components, distinguishing between exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies. We discuss the relationship between EVs and viral diseases, as well as their roles in viral pathogenesis and the dissemination of infections. Moreover, based on the ability of viruses to modulate host immune responses at both the innate and adaptive levels, the involvement of EVs in immune evasion is described. Additionally, the ability of EVs to diagnose viral illnesses and their therapeutic applications, such as using EVs for vaccines, immunotherapy, and the delivery of antiviral drugs, will also be discussed. Various viral diseases, including HIV, hepatitis B and C, and influenza, as well as emerging viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, are reviewed to capture the multifaceted functions of EVs in viral diseases. Finally, the review discusses the limitations of EV research, factors that affect the standardization of the technique, and the outlook for clinical applications. Based on a synthesis of current literature knowledge, this review aimed to identify and highlight the potential of EVs as diagnostic and therapeutic agents in the prevention and treatment of viral infections, thereby paving the way for further research and innovation.",

However, NK cell activity is hindered by hypoxia and immunosuppressive factors in the tumor microenvironment. Herein, NK cell membrane (NKCM)-camouflaged hypoxia-responsive nanoparticles (HSF@NK) are developed to co-deliver ferrocene (Fc) and carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) siRNA for an NK cell-mimicking anticancer strategy, enhancing tumor-specific cytotoxicity and reversing the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. HSF@NK achieves tumor targeting and immune evasion by retaining NKCM proteins. Hypoxic tumor microenvironment triggers the release of Fc and CAIX siRNA, decreasing the intracellular pH by downregulating CAIX to accelerate Fc-involved Fenton reaction, and amplifies oxidative damage in tumor cells, while remaining non-cytotoxic to normal cells in vitro. The resulting oxidative stress elicited immunogenic cell death, dendritic cells maturation, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte infiltration, while NKCM proteins promoted M1 macrophage polarization. HSF@NK significantly inhibited tumor growth (\u224885.0%) in B16F10 murine tumor models. When combined with anti-PD-L1, HSF@NK further enhanced tumor suppression (\u224892.4%) and established long-term immunity in 4T1 tumor models. This approach offers a paradigm shift in the design of NK cell-inspired nanomedicines and paves the way for reliable strategies for solid tumor therapy.",

Plant-derived nanoparticles (pdNPs) are promising agents for treating inflammatory skin diseases. In this study, we examined the characteristics and functions of rose hip-derived nanoparticles (RNPs) rich in various bioactive compounds. RNPs were isolated from rose hips using sucrose ultracentrifugation and characterized using NanoSight and transmission electron microscopy. Cellular uptake by HaCaT human keratinocytes was analyzed using flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Uptake mechanisms were investigated using siRNA knockdown. Proliferation, apoptosis, and cytokine expression were evaluated in a HaCaT psoriasis model. Antioxidant activity was assessed by measuring reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in stimulated HaCaT and RAW264.7 mouse macrophage-like cells. The in vivo efficacy was evaluated in a mouse model of psoriasis via intradermal injection of RNPs. The RNPs obtained via ultracentrifugation exhibited a vesicular structure of approximately 100 nm in diameter. They were efficiently taken up by HaCaT cells and inhibited excessive inflammation-induced proliferation. RNPs reduced the mRNA levels of the inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1\u03b2 and interferon-\u03b3. Additionally, RNPs were efficiently internalized by mouse macrophage-like RAW264.7 cells, decreasing the intracellular reactive oxygen species levels. The intradermal injection of RNPs effectively suppressed epidermal hyperproliferation and macrophage infiltration in an imiquimod-induced psoriasis mouse model. Collectively, these results suggest that RNPs can be used to treat psoriasis by regulating oxidative stress and inhibiting epidermal hyperproliferation. RNPs, which exerted potent effects on epidermal cells, target key pathological mechanisms such as oxidative stress and immune-driven keratinocyte proliferation. Therefore, they are promising natural therapeutic agents for psoriasis.",

However, there is a limited amount of research on extracellular vesicles derived from mushrooms (MDEVs). Among edible mushrooms, Pleurotus eryngii is peculiar due to its flavor and interesting nutritional profiling. It also produces a wide array of secondary metabolites including biologically active compounds with many health-promoting benefits such as anticancer, antioxidant, antitumor, antiviral, antibacterial, antidiabetic, and anti-hypercholesteremic activities. The aim of this work has been to isolate EVs from the fruiting body and mycelium of P. eryngii in order to investigate their potential applications as nutraceuticals. Methods: MDEVs were isolated by differential and density gradient centrifugation, characterized by Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and immunoblotting, and subjected to metabolomic and phenolic profiling.

"41012666": "ID: 41012666\nTitle: Integrative Mechanistic Studies Identify Reticulon-3 as a Critical Modulator of Infectious Exosome-Driven Dengue Pathogenesis.\nAbstract: The dengue virus (DENV) exploits host cell exosome pathways to disseminate and evade immunity. However, the host factors enabling this process remain poorly defined. Here, we demonstrate that DENV infection robustly induces expression of the short isoform of Reticulon 3 (RTN3S) in hepatic (Huh7) and monocytic cells, and that RTN3S is a critical driver of infectious exosome biogenesis. RTN3S physically associates with double-stranded viral RNA and the DENV non-structural protein 3 (NS3) in infected cells, indicating its integration into the viral replication complex. Loss of RTN3 markedly reduced exosome production and the exosomal export of viral RNA and proteins, demonstrating that RTN3S is required for efficient exosome-mediated viral release. Conversely, overexpression of full-length RTN3S dramatically increased the release of infectious virus-containing exosomes; truncation of the RTN3S C-terminal domain abolished this enhancement, confirming the essential role of the C-terminus in RTN3S's pro-viral exosomal function. In DENV-infected monocytes, we observed a shift toward a CD16-positive intermediate phenotype, accompanied by the upregulation of genes involved in vesicle biogenesis and stress response. These infected monocytes also secreted higher levels of inflammatory cytokines. Similarly, monocytes from Dengue patients exhibited high RTN3 expression, which correlated with an expansion of intermediate (CD16+) subsets and enriched expression of vesicle trafficking machinery genes. These findings reveal a previously unrecognized mechanism by which DENV hijacks RTN3S to promote the formation of infectious exosomes, thereby facilitating viral dissemination and immune evasion. RTN3S thus represents a novel element of the Dengue pathogenesis and a potential target for host-directed antiviral strategies.",
"41017916": "ID: 41017916\nTitle: Proteomics analysis of soluble secreted proteins of Lutzomyia longipalpis LL5 cells transfected with a dsRNA viral mimic: insights into cellular defense and repair signals.\nAbstract: Sand flies, which transmit diseases like leishmaniases, bartonellosis, and certain viruses, pose a significant public health threat. Our research focuses on the immune responses of Lutzomyia longipalpis, the primary vector for visceral leishmaniasis in the Americas. We use L. longipalpis LL5 cells as a model to study how sand flies respond to pathogens. These cells exhibit robust immune reactions, producing molecules mainly regulated by the Toll, IMD, Jak-STAT, and RNAi pathways. In previous studies, we detected a non-specific antiviral response in LL5 cells following double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) transfection. A previous complete secretome of these cells showed molecules resembling an interferon-like antiviral response when transfected with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly I:C), a synthetic dsRNA analog. In the current study, we analyzed soluble proteins secreted by LL5 cells after poly I:C transfection. Using comparative mass spectrometry, we examined protein composition of conditioned media depleted of exosomes at 24\u00a0h and 48\u00a0h. Most proteins uniquely expressed in the transfected groups had low abundance compared to the overall expressed proteins. Interactome prediction analysis revealed that at 24\u00a0h, the proteins uniquely found in the secretome of the transfected group were involved in RNA degradation and purine metabolism, while at 48\u00a0h they were linked to ribosomal proteins and signaling pathways such as Hedgehog, Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-\u03b2), and Wingless/integrated (Wnt). We highlight increased abundance of the TGF-\u03b2-induced protein ig-h3 (24\u00a0h and 48\u00a0h), a Toll-like receptor 3 (48\u00a0h), and a hemocytin (48\u00a0h) in the secretion of transfected groups compared to the controls. We also performed an interaction analysis of proteins more secreted by the treated group at 24\u00a0h and 48\u00a0h. Unlike the interactome of uniquely identified proteins, few interactions were observed at 24\u00a0h, with a predominance of extracellular matrix and cell adhesion proteins. The set of proteins more secreted at 48\u00a0h presented more interactions than at 24\u00a0h, with emphasis on catabolic processes, including RNA degradation. These findings indicate that poly I:C transfection in LL5 cells induces the secretion of proteins involved in cellular defense and repair, revealing molecules involved in the LL5 non-specific antiviral response.",

However, the impact of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) secreted by FLSs on osteoclastogenesis remains incompletely understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-activated FLSs in sEV-mediated release of osteoclastogenic miRNAs and elucidate their functional contribution to osteoclastogenesis. Stimulation of SW982\u00a0cells with LPA or TNF significantly increased sEV secretion. TNF upregulated autotaxin expression and promoted sEV release; however, small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated knockdown (KD) of LPAR1 attenuated the increase in sEV release induced by the TNF-autotaxin-LPA axis. Notably, stimulation with TNF or LPA elevated syntenin-1 expression without altering its mRNA level. Furthermore, KD of the syntenin-1 gene (SDCBP) suppressed the LPA-induced increase in sEV release, indicating that syntenin-1 may mediate sEV secretion induced by the TNF-autotaxin-LPA-LPAR1 axis. sEVs derived from TNF- or LPA-treated SW982\u00a0cells stimulated osteoclastogenesis. We identified miR-31-5p as an osteoclastogenic miRNA enriched in sEVs. Expression levels of miR-31-5p in sEVs from TNF- and LPA-stimulated rheumatoid arthritis (RA) FLSs were significantly higher than in those from unstimulated RA FLSs. Treatment with a miR-31-5p mimic enhanced osteoclastogenesis by targeting large tumor suppressor kinase 2 (LATS2), whereas treatment with its inhibitor suppressed the sEV-mediated promotion of osteoclastogenesis. These findings reveal a mechanism by which TNF- and LPA-activated FLSs may facilitate sEV-mediated delivery of osteoclastogenic miRNAs, such as miR-31-5p, to osteoclast precursors, thereby contributing to osteoclast formation and bone destruction.",
"41089383": "ID: 41089383\nTitle: Adipose mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes rescue mitochondrial function through SIRT1 to improve diabetic wound healing.\nAbstract: Diabetic wounds represent the most common type of chronic wounds. Persistent inflammation and elevated oxidative stress are hallmark features of chronic wounds, where macrophage phenotypic polarization playing a critical role in the healing process. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell exosomes (ADSC-exos) have shown promising therapeutic effects in the treatment of diabetic wounds by modulating macrophage function. This study aims to elucidate the specific downstream regulatory mechanisms through both in vitro and in vivo investigations. A streptozotocin-induced diabetic mouse model and high glucose-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages were utilized to mimic diabetic microenvironments. Wound tissues were collected from patients with diabetic foot ulcer. A skin incision model was established in mice and ADSC-exos were given subcutaneously. Streptozotocin-induced diabetic myeloid-specific sirt1 -/- mice SIRT1 siRNA-transfected macrophages were employed to investigate the role of SIRT1 in vivo and in vitro. Wound healing rates were quantified. Mitochondrial function, lysosomal activity, autophagy flux, and inflammation status were systematically assessed. In diabetic mice and high glucose-treated macrophages, lysosomal dysfunction preceded mitochondrial and autophagy flux impairments. SIRT1 expression was significantly reduced in both diabetic wound tissues and macrophages, accompanied by M1 macrophage polarization. SIRT1 interference experiments revealed that the impact of ADSC-exos on mitochondrial function, autophagy flux, and inflammatory response were partially dependent on SIRT1. Notably, the therapeutic effects of ADSC-exos on mitochondrial and autophagic pathways were markedly attenuated upon SIRT1 suppression. These findings demonstrate that ADSC-exos promotes diabetic wound healing by restoring mitochondrial function and autophagy via SIRT1 activation. These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of ADSC-exos and provide a mechanistic foundation for future exosome engineering strategies.",

Although M2 macrophage-derived exosomes (M2-exos) have emerged as key regulators of bone metabolism through immunomodulation and paracrine signaling, their specific mechanisms in orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of the epigenetic MeCP2-TCF20 complex in M2-exo-mediated orthodontic bone remodeling. A rat OTM model was established to evaluate bone remodeling dynamics using micro-CT, histomorphometry (H&E and TRAP staining), and immunohistochemistry. Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) were isolated and treated with M2-exos to assess osteogenic differentiation through alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alizarin red S (ARS) staining, qPCR, and Western blot. Molecular mechanisms were explored via RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry (IP-MS), and functional validation experiments (siRNA knockdown and overexpression). Orthodontic tension force upregulate M2 polarization and osteoblast differentiation, in contrast to compressive force which triggered M1 polarization and osteoclastogenesis, with concomitant modulation of MeCP2 expression in mechanically stressed periodontal tissues. M2-exos significantly promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. Mechanistic studies revealed that M2-exos activated the MeCP2-TCF20 complex, which directly suppressed HDAC1 expression, thereby activating the Wnt/\u03b2-catenin signaling pathway. These findings highlight the critical role of the M2-exo/MeCP2-TCF20 axis in orchestrating orthodontic bone remodeling through epigenetic regulation. This study provides novel insights into the therapeutic potential of M2-exos for enhancing orthodontic treatment efficiency.",

These lipid-enclosed vesicles play a key role in intracellular communication by delivering various molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, thereby influencing the activity of recipient cells. In recent years, exosomes have attracted considerable attention for their involvement in viral infections and immune system evasion. Many viruses hijack the exosome biogenesis machinery to facilitate their replication, spread infection, and evade immune defenses. Therefore, gaining insights into how exosomes modulate the immune system or contribute to viral infectivity is crucial. This review explores how viral exosomes interact with host mammalian cells, highlighting their unique ability to transfer genetic material and proteins to recipient cells independent of virus-receptor interaction. Additionally, we examine the role of viral exosomes in intercellular communication, particularly how they may both promote viral infectivity and transmission, as well as participate in antiviral defense and immune regulation. Unlike previous reviews, our study integrates findings across both human and animal viral infections, critically discusses methodological standardization in exosome research, and introduces emerging therapeutic approaches such as engineered exosomes and exosome mimetics.",

Exosome-based delivery systems are becoming a game-changing platform that can solve these therapeutic problems using their natural biocompatibility, minimal immunogenicity, and capacity to cross the BBB. This review current developments in exosome engineering that aim to make brain-targeted therapy for neuroinfectious illnesses more selective and effective. Much focus is on new molecular methods like pathogen-specific ligand display, aptamer conjugation, lipid modification, and click-chemistry-based surface functionalisation. These methods make it possible to target diseased areas of the brain precisely. Exosomes can also carry therapeutic payloads, such as anti-viral and antifungal drugs, gene editing tools like CRISPR/Cas9 and siRNA, and more. This makes them helpful in changing pathogens' persistence and the host's immunological responses.

RNA interference offers a safe and efficient means to disrupt this pathway, highlighting the importance of developing effective siRNA delivery systems to improve antitumor efficacy. In this study, we developed a biomimetic and fusogenic liposome capable of deep tumor penetration and selective tumor cell targeting for the coordinated cytosolic delivery of CD47 and PLK1-targeting siRNAs. CD47 siRNA downregulated CD47 protein expression, suppressing the \"don't eat me\" signal, while PLK1 siRNA induced tumor cell apoptosis and enhanced the \"eat-me\" signal by facilitating the translocation of calreticulin to the cell surface. This biomimetic platform enabled efficient tumor cell specific cytosolic delivery and deep tissue penetration of siRNAs. The combined silencing strategy significantly enhanced macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of tumor cells and improved antitumor outcomes in a 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model.

Tetraspanins are a family of transmembrane proteins involved in diverse cellular processes, including membrane stabilization and fusion, endocytosis, extracellular vesicle formation, and the organization of proteins and lipids at specific membrane sites known as Tetraspanin-Enriched Microdomains (TEMs). These lipid-protein interactions play a critical role in the replicative cycle of Orthoflavivirus, including dengue, Zika, and West Nile, by facilitating viral entry, replication, assembly, and egress. In addition, tetraspanins also regulate the biogenesis and function of extracellular vesicles, contributing to viral dissemination, persistent infection, and immune evasion.

Effective restoration of efferocytic capacity in lesional macrophages remains a challenge in atherosclerosis treatment. We developed an engineered small interfering RNA (siRNA) nanoparticle platform that can therapeutically manipulate lesional macrophages by inhibiting an overexpressed plaque-destabilizing macrophage molecule: IRF5. IRF5 siRNA (siIRF5) nanoimmunotherapeutics were efficiently taken up by lesional macrophages, particularly Cd11c+ and Trem2hi macrophages, and enhanced their phagocytic clearance of apoptotic cells by efficiently silencing IRF5 expression within these macrophage subsets in atherosclerotic plaques. This resulted in remarkable therapeutic efficacy, as evidenced by reduction of necrotic core area and enhancement of plaque stability in 2 independent ApoE-/- murine models of atherosclerosis. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis revealed that siIRF5 nanoimmunotherapeutics increased the proefferocytic receptors while decreasing the expression of proinflammatory genes associated with cytokine and chemokine pathways in lesional macrophages. These findings highlight the potential of siRNA nanoimmunotherapeutics for treating atherosclerosis and other diseases resulting from impaired efferocytosis in macrophages.",

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators in various cancers, including HCC, but their roles in HCC progression remain largely unexplored. Here, the role of circZNF79(5) in HCC progression and its underlying mechanisms is investigated. CircZNF79(5) expression in HCC tissues, cell lines and the serum exosomes is analyzed using qRT-PCR and FISH, and evaluated its effects on cell proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis using CCK8, colony formation, EdU, Transwell and Flow cytometry. CircZNF79(5)'s is verified to be upregulated in HCC, and found that it can promote HCC cells proliferation, migration and invasion, while inhibiting the apoptosis. Mechanistically, circZNF79(5) is found to stabilizes the oncogenic protein YBX1 by recruiting BRCC36, a K63 chain deubiquitinating enzyme, thereby preventing YBX1 from p62-mediated selective autophagic degradation via the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway. In vivo studies using subcutaneous and orthotopic tumor models confirmed that circZNF79(5) knockdown reduced tumor growth and YBX1 expression.

Although genome editing by CRISPR-Cas provides a promising cure for HIV-1, gene delivery efficiency in vivo remains an obstacle to overcome. Here, we developed an exosome-mediated targeted CRISPR-Cas12a delivery system (EMT-Cas12a), an engineered exosome system enabling targeted delivery of mRNA of Cas12a and crRNAs to CD4+ T cells. The EMT-Cas12a system uniquely optimizes cell-specific targeting, CRISPR-Cas12a expression, crRNAs maturation, nuclear entry efficiency, accuracy cleavage with major delins and achieving dramatically HIV suppression in both cellular and humanized mouse models. Compared with single-crRNA approaches, the multiple crRNA arrays strategy demonstrates enhanced antiviral efficacy in HIV-infected mouse model, ex-vivo-expanded PBMCs from HIV+ subjects and especially in vitro cell lines without detectable HIV DNA. Critically, the system exhibits no detectable off-target effects and restores CD4+ T cell counts in vivo and ex vivo PBMCs, indicating its dual therapeutic potential for viral clearance and immune reconstitution.

Nanoparticle-mediated delivery of nucleic acid therapies offers a promising strategy to modulate inflammation and promote plaque regression at the molecular level. This study aimed to systematically evaluate recent preclinical evidence on the effectiveness of functionalized nanoparticles for delivering nucleic acid-based therapies to atherosclerotic plaques. This systematic review, conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, evaluated preclinical studies published between 2018 and 2024 that utilized nanoparticles to deliver siRNA, miRNA inhibitors, or antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to atherosclerotic plaques. Data extraction included nanoparticle type, targeting ligands, size, loading efficiency, administration route, and therapeutic outcomes. Comparative figures were generated, including a bar chart of plaque reduction efficacy by nanoparticle type and a qualitative heatmap mapping functionalization strategies to molecular targets. Fifteen animal studies met the inclusion criteria. Nanoparticles varied in size (5-190 nm), composition (cyclodextrin, gold, polymeric, lipid-based), and targeting mechanisms (e.g., VCAM1, CD36, integrin ligands). High efficacy was reported for functionalized carriers targeting macrophages or inflammatory pathways, with plaque reductions up to 65.8%. Visual analyses highlighted cyclodextrin-integrin and rHDL-based systems as top-performing strategies, while a heatmap revealed preferred pairings of delivery ligands with nucleic acid targets. Functionalized nanoparticles demonstrate robust preclinical efficacy for delivering nucleic acids to atherosclerotic plaques. These findings support their potential for targeted, multimodal therapy in cardiovascular disease, warranting further clinical investigation into scalable, biocompatible delivery platforms.",

CXCL8@M was obtained via macrophage infection of CXCL8 plasmid, and CXCL8-M-exo was obtained via an exosome extraction kit. In addition, hsa-miR-126-3p agomir [a specially chemically modified microRNA (miRNA) mimic, named miR-126-3p] was loaded in CXCL8@M-exo to form CXCR8@exo-miR-126a-3p via electroporation technology. Further, EGFR@CXCR8@exo-miR-126a-3p was obtained via EGFR monoclonal antibody-modified CXCR8@exo-miR-126a-3p. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI models were used to evaluate the role and mechanism of EGFR@CXCR8@exo-miR-126a-3p on ALI. Single-cell sequencing and miRNA chip results showed that miR-126a-3p was mainly expressed in pulmonary macrophages and markedly decreased, while single-cell sequencing and immunofluorescence results showed that EGFR was expressed and significantly elevated in macrophages in ALI mice. miR-126a-3p and EGFR siRNA significantly inhibited polarization of M1 macrophage. The imaging results of small animals showed that EGFR@CXCL8-exo-miR-126a-3p has obvious macrophage targeting. The results showed that EGFR@CXCR8@exo-miR-126a-3p significantly inhibited M1 macrophage and increased Treg cells to exert anti-inflammatory effects.

"41318835": "ID: 41318835\nTitle: The gut-liver-virus axis in hepatitis B and C: microbiota, immunometabolism, and exosome-mediated therapeutic opportunities.\nAbstract: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections remain a major global health burden, leading to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Despite advancements in vaccination and antiviral therapies, viral persistence, immune evasion, and disease progression continue to challenge global elimination goals. Recent evidence suggests that the gut-liver-virus axis, involving microbiota dysbiosis, immunometabolic reprogramming, and exosome mediated signaling, plays a central role in HBV and HCV related pathogenesis. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar from January 2000 to August 2025. Studies were screened according to the PICO framework, focusing on HBV/HCV persistence, gut microbiota dysbiosis, immunometabolic changes, exosome-mediated communication, and therapeutic interventions. A total of 100 eligible studies, including clinical, preclinical, and mechanistic investigations, were synthesized. The analysis revealed that HBV and HCV infections remodel the gut liver axis through depletion of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) producing taxa, enrichment of pro-inflammatory bacteria, and dysregulated bile acid and lipopolysaccharide metabolism. Viral persistence is sustained by immunometabolic rewiring, including glycolysis upregulation, lipid accumulation, and tryptophan kynurenine pathway activation, leading to T-cell exhaustion and immune suppression. Exosomes derived from infected hepatocytes and tumors facilitate viral spread, immune evasion, and oncogenesis while emerging as potential biomarkers and therapeutic nanocarriers. Collectively, these interconnected mechanisms drive inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and progression to HCC. The progression of HBV/HCV infections is governed by a complex interplay of viral persistence, gut microbiota alterations, metabolic reprogramming, and exosome-mediated communication. Targeting these pathways through microbiota-directed therapies, metabolic modulators, and exosome-based interventions offers promising opportunities for precision medicine. Future studies employing multi-omics integration, validated models, and longitudinal cohorts are required to establish causality and translate mechanistic insights into effective clinical strategies for preventing HBV/HCV associated cirrhosis and cancer.",

Exosomes, which are extracellular vesicles (30-150 nm) that play a key role in intercellular communication, have a dual role in HIV-1 pathogenesis and therapy. Regarding pathogenesis, this review elucidates how HIV-1 exploits the exosome pathway-hijacking the Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport(ESCRT)machinery for viral budding and selectively packaging viral components, such as the accessory protein Nef, to enhance infectivity, promote immune evasion, and establish latent reservoirs. Conversely, host cells utilize exosomes to mount antiviral defense by packaging and transmitting restriction factors, such as APOBEC3G, to recipient cells. Furthermore, exosomal cargo serves as promising biomarkers for disease monitoring, and exosomes themselves are emerging as versatile therapeutic nanocarriers. We highlight that plant-derived exosomes offer unique advantages, including low immunogenicity and high scalability, for delivering next-generation antiviral agents or gene editing tools. In summary, understanding the multifaceted roles of exosomes provides crucial mechanistic insights into HIV-1 pathogenesis and unveils innovative strategies toward a functional cure.",

Activated macrophages produce large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pro-inflammatory cytokines, which damage chondrocytes and destroy the cartilage matrix. Therefore, a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of RA is to inhibit the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and ROS to promote macrophage polarization and facilitate cartilage repair. In this paper, an active targeting nanomedicine based on metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) is constructed to re-polarize activated macrophages for RA therapy. Sr2+ and Cu2+ are first coordinated with tannic acid (TA) to prepare TSC, and TNF-\u03b1 siRNA is loaded into TSC via simple ultrasonic treatment to obtain TSSC. Finally, TSSC is coated with M1 macrophage membrane (termed as TSSC@M1) to enhance its inflammatory targeting ability. TSSC@M1 can actively target macrophages by releasing TA, Cu2+, and TNF-\u03b1 siRNA to synergistically scavenge ROS and inhibit the expression of TNF-\u03b1 to induce macrophage polarization, while Sr2+ can further protect cartilage. In the collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse model, TSSC@M1 can accumulate at inflamed joints and alleviate RA symptoms by modulating macrophage phenotype and repairing cartilage. Overall, TSSC@M1 NPs offer a promising and safe approach to treat RA.",

However, despite growing interest, the development of ELNs for nucleic acid delivery remains a formidable challenge, compounded by diverse production methods and a lack of systematic approaches to optimize their formulation and performance. This study employed a Box-Behnken design and two fabrication methods: freeze-thaw and sonication, to optimize the formulation of ELNs derived from exosomes of five distinct cancer cells. Formulation criteria focused on maximizing the fusion efficiency while minimizing particle size. The impact of the fusion method on cellular association and gene silencing of promising therapeutic targets, CD24, CD44, and CD47, was evaluated. The optimized formulations were subsequently assessed for therapeutic efficacy in 4T1 and B16F10 tumor models. Through careful manipulation of formulation variables, we obtained optimal ELNs with fusion efficiencies exceeding 50% and particle sizes under 170 nm while preserving exosomal markers CD9, CD63, and CD81. Cellular association studies revealed that ELNs specifically targeted their parental cell line, achieving \u223c2.5-fold higher siRNA association compared to LNPs. Furthermore, the optimized ELNs facilitated the delivery of therapeutic siRNAs, resulting in robust gene silencing and consequently improved the in vitro macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of treated cancer cells. In vivo studies using 4T1 and B16F10 tumor models highlighted the enhanced therapeutic potential of the optimized ELNs, as evidenced by significant tumor targeting and growth inhibition. These findings underscore the importance of systematic formulation and method optimization in advancing ELNs as effective nucleic acid delivery platforms for cancer therapy.",

This study used mouse brain tissue-derived exosomes as a delivery system for scutellarin. Exosomes were isolated via ultracentrifugation and loaded with scutellarin using ultrasonication, achieving a drug loading capacity of 31.86\u202fng/\u03bcg and a particle size of 90-120\u202fnm. In an in vitro BBB model, exosome-loaded scutellarin showed significantly higher penetration (41\u202f%) than the free drug (13.5\u202f%). Confocal microscopy confirmed efficient cellular uptake, particularly by microglia (98\u202f% efficiency). In vivo, exosomes accumulated and persisted in brain tissue for over 24\u202fh. In a PRV-infected microglia model, exosome-delivered scutellarin significantly inhibited viral replication and modulated microglial polarization by downregulating the pro-inflammatory marker CD86 and upregulating the anti-inflammatory marker CD206. These findings demonstrate that brain-derived exosomes enhance scutellarin delivery across the BBB and improve its anti-neuroinflammatory effects, supporting their use as drug carriers for treating neuroinflammatory diseases.",

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has identified genes highly expressed in M1 macrophages at fracture sites, which are closely linked to macrophage polarization. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have shown potential as anti-inflammatory agents but are limited by short duration of action and poor targeting. In this study, we used scRNA-seq to elucidate the mechanisms of M1 macrophage polarization during fracture healing and identified MMP12 as a target regulated by Calendula officinalis L.-derived EVs (COEVs) through network pharmacology. To enhance the therapeutic potential of COEVs, we developed a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive hydrogel encapsulating COEVs modified with phosphatidylserine (PS) for macrophage targeting. The hydrogel demonstrated excellent mechanical properties, injectability, self-healing, and ROS responsiveness. Comprehensive in vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed its biocompatibility, ability to regulate target genes, macrophage reprogramming, and osteogenic promotion, offering a novel therapeutic approach for fracture repair.",
"41410165": "ID: 41410165\nTitle: Exosome Tethering Requires Tetherin Homodimerisation.\nAbstract: Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles that originate as intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) within multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Upon fusion of MVBs with the plasma membrane, ILVs are released into the extracellular environment as exosomes. Although exosomes can diffuse away from their cells of origin, the expression of the antiviral restriction factor tetherin promotes their retention at the cell surface, thereby limiting their release into the extracellular milieu. Tetherin plays an analogous role in retaining other extracellular particles, including many enveloped viruses and midbody remnants. We hypothesised that tetherin physically links exosomes to the cell surface through specific structural features of the protein. To test this, we combined biochemical assays with live-cell and ultrastructural imaging approaches to determine which elements of tetherin are required for exosome retention. Our analysis shows that the formation of tetherin homodimers is essential for exosome tethering. Mutations in regions or motifs of tetherin predicted to impact tetherin traffic to ILVs have only minor impacts on exosome tethering, suggesting redundancy in the mechanisms of tetherin traffic to ILVs, and subsequently, to exosomes. Collectively, these findings provide the first molecular insights into the mechanism that govern exosome tethering.",

However, the effect of exosomal MALAT1 derived from macrophages induced by hyperglycemia on vascular calcification (VC) remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of VC and its regulatory mechanisms in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and diabetic rats by exosomal MALAT1 derived from macrophages treated with high levels of glucose. Macrophages and VSMCs were cultured in 25 mM glucose. Macrophages exposed to high glucose exhibited increased expression of exosomal MALAT1. When transferred to VSMCs, exosomal MALAT1 significantly suppressed the expression of miR-143-3p while upregulating Matrix Gla protein (MGP, an inhibitor of VC) mRNA and protein levels. Interventions using MALAT1 siRNA or miR-143-3p mimics effectively reversed this effect. Both MALAT1 siRNA and overexpression of miR-143-3p significantly increased the calcium content in cultured VSMCs and in the carotid artery of diabetic rats following balloon injury. Balloon injury to the carotid artery in diabetic rats treated with macrophage-derived exosomes significantly increased the expression of MALAT1 and MGP while reducing the expression of miR-143-3p in the carotid artery. These findings demonstrate that macrophage-derived exosomal MALAT1 modulates VC via the MALAT1/miR-143-3p/MGP axis under hyperglycemic conditions. The results suggest that targeting exosomal MALAT1 may offer a novel and effective therapeutic approach for mitigating VC in metabolic disorders such as diabetes.",

While some inflammatory responses may originate from mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs), nonimmune cells vastly outnumber MNPs and may be an important source of inflammation. Here, we demonstrated that highly virulent EBOV induced a high and sustained pro-inflammatory response compared to less virulent ebolaviruses in non-MNPs through TLR4-independent NF-\u03baB activation. We identified the EBOV matrix protein VP40 as a potent activator of NF-\u03baB in non-MNPs, whose intrinsic inflammatory activation ability is higher than VP40 proteins from less virulent ebolaviruses. This suggests that VP40 is a virulence determinant inducing distinct degrees of pro-inflammatory responses among ebolaviruses. Mechanistically, VP40 activated the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway, primarily via TNFR1 using a ligand-independent mechanism. These findings reveal mechanisms that may drive systemic inflammation and promote EBOV pathogenesis, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies to mitigate immune dysregulation in severe EBOV infections.",

Previously, we reported two novel chemical compounds (NUSU#1 and NUSU#2) that inhibit EBOV VP40-mediated virus-like particle (VLP) production. In this study, we aimed to develop and identify novel synthetic compounds derived from NUSU#1. Forty-five compounds were synthesized and examined for their effects in vitro. Through cell viability and screening assays that we previously developed and reported, five novel synthesized compounds were selected for their inhibitory effects on EBOV VP40-mediated VLP production. Although none of them showed a stronger inhibitory effect on VLP production than NUSU#1, four of the five selected compounds exhibited a statistically significant reduction in EBOV VP40-mediated VLP production compared with the control treatment using a VLP assay.",

This study aims to examine the immunomodulatory effects of serum-derived exosomes from Brown Leghorn chickens infected with low pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAIV) or highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV). These exosomes (CTRL-EXO [noninfected], LPAIV-EXO, and HPAIV-EXO) were intramuscularly injected into na\u00efve chickens, after which tissues and serum were collected. Cytokine gene expression in immune-related tissues (lung, spleen, and trachea) was quantified through reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction to evaluate the immune response. Unlike the lung and trachea, the spleen showed the strongest immune response following exosome injection, associated with elevated antiviral cytokines and interferons in the AIV-exosome group. In parallel, these exosomes were applied to chicken macrophage HD11 cells to determine cellular uptake and cytokine expression using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Furthermore, immunocytochemistry was performed to detect exosome-delivered viral nucleoprotein and nonstructural protein 1 proteins in HD11 cells. LPAIV-EXO induced the strongest immune activation, evidenced by increased cytokine expression and immunochemical detection of viral proteins. Collectively, these findings indicate that AIV-derived exosomes modulate host immune responses in vivo and in vitro, underscoring their potential in immune regulation and vaccine development.",

This study investigates the role of hypoxia in mediating metabolic crosstalk with immune cells via CD63-enriched exosomes. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis identified a CD63-high tumor subpopulation in UM associated with lactate metabolism and vesicle transport. Under hypoxic conditions (1% O2 vs. 21% O2 normoxia), UMT2 cells exhibited upregulation of CD63 expression, increased exosome secretion, and elevated exosomal lactate levels. In co-culture assays, these hypoxic exosomes promoted macrophage M2 polarization, as indicated by increased CD206+ expression and elevated Extracellular Acidification Rate/Oxygen Consumption Rate (ECAR/OCR) ratios in macrophages and induced CD8+ T cell exhaustion, as evidenced by higher PD-1+TIM-3+ expression, and promoted the secretion of immunosuppressive cytokines such as TGF-\u03b2 and IL-10. Importantly, these effects, which were driven by exosomal lactate transfer leading to macrophage metabolic reprogramming, were abolished upon CD63 knockdown using siRNA. Mechanistically, CD63 facilitates a hypoxia-induced exosomal lactate shuttle. We conclude that CD63-mediated transfer of hypoxic exosomal lactate establishes a critically immunosuppressive microenvironment in UM. Targeting the hypoxia/CD63/exosomal lactate axis may represent a promising novel therapeutic strategy to restore anti-tumor immunity in UM.",

The management of CLDs is significantly hampered by the limitations of conventional approaches, including non-targeted drug delivery, systemic toxicity, and inadequate diagnostic sensitivity for early-stage lesions. Nanotechnology-driven biomaterial platforms have emerged as pioneering solutions to these challenges, enabling precise theranostic strategies tailored to the distinct pathophysiology of each disease stage. This review systematically elaborates on these advancements by aligning with the natural progression of CLDs [non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), hepatitis B, liver fibrosis, and cirrhosis]. We detail how engineered platforms enhance therapeutic efficacy by achieving superior hepatic accumulation, controlled drug release, and improved metabolic, antiviral, and antifibrotic effects. Concurrently, we explore their role in diagnostics, where nanotechnology-enhanced imaging agents and nanosensors provide unprecedented sensitivity for early detection and accurate staging. By structuring the discussion around the evolving clinical needs from NAFLD and hepatitis to advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis, this review offers a stage-specific roadmap of biomaterial design principles. It aims to provide a foundational theory and forward-looking perspectives for developing next-generation, precision medicine solutions for CLDs, ultimately bridging the gap between benchtop innovation and clinical translation. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This review establishes a stage-specific design paradigm that bridges the gap between biomaterial innovation and the clinical continuum of chronic liver diseases (CLDs). Its significance lies in aligning cutting-edge biomaterial strategies from targeted, stimuli-responsive nanotherapeutics to engineered exosomes and gene delivery systems with the distinct pathophysiological features of each disease stage. This approach moves beyond cataloging materials to critically evaluating their translational feasibility. We analyze how rational material design addresses specific clinical bottlenecks, such as improving drug bioavailability to diseased tissue or enabling sensitive, non-invasive diagnostics for early detection. By providing this clinically focused roadmap, this review aims to accelerate the development of personalized therapies and reshape the theranostic landscape, striving to improve therapeutic outcomes of CLDs.",

However, the characteristics of ferroptosis in cervical carcinoma (CC) are poorly understood. We acquired raw data on CC cohorts from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Key genes were identified using differential gene expression analysis and intersected for further immune infiltration, transcription regulation, gene set variation analysis (GSVA), gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), and drug sensitivity analysis. We also used immunohistochemical (IHC) staining to confirm the expression of important genes in cervical cancer tissue and their prognostic relevance. Finally, gene silencing and cell coculture experiments were used to verify the biological functional mechanism and its role in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Through bioinformatics analysis, we discovered that GCH1 and H1.2 are key ferroptosis-related molecules in cervical cancer. GCH1 and H1.2 could act as useful prognostic markers in cervical cancer, and in addition to their connection with the tumor microenvironment, the possible transcriptional regulatory network, hallmark pathways and chemotherapy sensitivity were also clarified. IHC of the tissue microarray (TMA) and immunofluorescence spatial distance evaluation revealed that GCH1 was more highly expressed in cervical cancer tissue than in paracarcinoma tissue. For patients with cervical cancer, higher GCH1 expression corresponded to a lower M2 cell proportion and a higher M1/M2 ratio as well as a greater GCH1-M2 distance. Silencing GCH1 in SiHa cells blocked the cell cycle, promoted apoptosis, and inhibited the migration and invasion abilities of the cells, possibly through the inhibition of the phosphorylated PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Coculture of the cells with macrophages revealed that the silencing of GCH1 led to decreased expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a biomarker of M1 macrophages. In this study, we performed a thorough investigation of ferroptosis-related genes and identified the functional complexity of GCH1 during tumorigenesis in cervical cancer.",

However, recent studies implicate CD74 as a broader regulator of tumor-immune interactions, modulating antigen presentation, cytokine signaling, and immune evasion across diverse cancers. This review synthesizes emerging evidence that CD74 functions as a \"master regulator\" of antigen presentation in cancer, integrating its canonical chaperone role with its noncanonical role in transcription regulation and in signaling via macrophage migration inhibitory factor.

Initially identified as a syndecan-binding molecule, syntenin has since emerged as a central hub connecting membrane receptors to intracellular signaling pathways that regulate adhesion, motility, immune signaling, and cellular plasticity. While extensively studied in cancer and neural development, recent discoveries reveal that a wide range of viruses exploit syntenin to facilitate their replication, assembly, or dissemination. This review consolidates current evidence across diverse viral infections to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between syntenin and viruses. Coronaviruses utilize syntenin to link PDZ-binding motifs to p38 MAPK-driven inflammation and endosomal entry. Papillomaviruses and Epstein-Barr virus hijack the CD63-syntenin-ALIX complex to control vesicle-mediated trafficking. Hepatitis C virus employs it to secrete E2-coated, antibody-resistant exosomes. Dengue virus harnesses its mosquito homolog AeSyntenin to package sfRNA for transmission. Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 employs its Tax-1 oncoprotein to bind the PDZ domains of syntenin, remodel extracellular vesicle cargo, and promote viral spread. In contrast, during human immunodeficiency virus infection, syntenin restricts viral fusion at the plasma membrane, though the nucleocapsid mimics its PDZ tandem to promote virion release. Collectively, these findings establish syntenin as a dynamic regulator at the host-virus interface, capable of exerting both proviral and antiviral effects. Emerging pharmacological strategies targeting syntenin PDZ domains further underscore its potential as a broad-spectrum, host-directed antiviral target.",

Although plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) hold therapeutic potential for immunomodulation, their clinical application is limited by poor stability and inefficient delivery. Here, we developed cholesterol-modified nanovesicles (CHOL@CDNVs) from Clematis filamentosa Dunn (CDNVs), a medicinal plant with documented anti-inflammatory properties. Using a thin-film hydration-extrusion method, low-concentration cholesterol modification enhanced the colloidal stability of the vesicles and increased macrophage uptake by 1.6-fold while preserving their ROS scavenging capacity. CHOL@CDNVs effectively suppressed M1 polarization and the secretion of TNF-\u03b1/IL-1\u03b2, while inducing M2 reprogramming. In an LPS-induced ALI mouse model, CHOL@CDNVs administration reduced pulmonary edema (37% lower wet/dry weight ratio) and fibrosis (67% reduction in collagen deposition) without inducing hepatotoxicity. These therapeutic effects were mediated by a shift from M1 to M2 macrophage polarization and the resolution of inflammatory properties. This study establishes cholesterol modification as a dual-functional strategy that simultaneously enhances the stability and immunoregulatory efficacy of plant-derived nanovesicles, offering a promising advance toward precision therapy for ALI/ARDS.",

Novel therapeutic strategies are required to address persistent unmet clinical needs for DLBCL. This study aimed to develop an exosome-based drug delivery system for the targeted combination therapy of siRNA against Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK, an established therapeutic target in B cell lymphomas) and isoimperatorin (ISOIM, an active natural furanocoumarin showing anti-tumor effects) in DLBCL. Tumor exosomes were isolated as the delivery carrier. ISOIM/siBTK@Exosome was prepared by encapsulating ISOIM and si-BTK into exosome using electroporation. Cellular uptake, immune escape, targeted delivery efficiency, anti-lymphoma activity and biosafety of ISOIM/siBTK@Exosome were evaluated in two DLBCL cell lines and in tumor-bearing mice. ISOIM/siBTK@Exosome displayed significant anti-lymphoma activity compared to ISOIM@Exosome or siBTK@Exosome alone, demonstrating synergistic therapeutic role of ISOIM and si-BTK. Besides, ISOIM/siBTK@Exosome can accelerate T cells activation and prevent macrophage M2 polarization in vitro.

Genetically engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs) present a highly adaptable and precisely tunable platform for the efficient delivery of small molecules to specific types of cells. In this study, we exploited a pseudotyping-based approach to load both exosome and microvesicle (MV) membranes with the ectodomain of LpqH (LpqH48-159) by engineering the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) glycoprotein. Our findings demonstrated that loading the LpqH ectodomain onto the surface of exosomes or MVs led to an increase in targeting macrophages compared with commercialized LNPs. Meanwhile, LpqH48-159-tagged MVs (LpqH-MVs) exhibit not only a higher efficiency in macrophage targeting but also greater mRNA encapsulation efficiency compared to LpqH48-159-tagged exosomes. In a vaccine-related application, compared to the LNPs, the LpqH-MVs loaded with mRNA encoding the enterovirus 71 capsid protein (VP1) or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) receptor-binding domain (RBD) elicited stronger humoral and adaptive immune responses against viral infection via intramuscular or inhalable immunization, respectively.

Interestingly, in vitro studies showed that PCA at physiologically reachable concentrations does not affect inflammation burden in TNF-\u03b1-stimulated aortic endothelial cells, whereas it increases the content of exosomal miR-10b secreted by macrophages that have engulfed apoptotic cells (efferocytic macrophages). This study was aimed at investigating whether the in vivo anti-inflammatory effect of PCA in arterial endothelial cells was due to the uptake of efferocytic macrophage exosomal miR-10b. A transwell co-culture system of aortic endothelial cells with efferocytic macrophages was used to evaluate the effect of PCA on NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in aortic endothelial cells. An inhibitor of exosome secretion, GW4869, was applied to confirm the role of exosomes played in the anti-inflammatory effect of PCA. The aortic endothelial cells were administrated with exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages or miR-10b mimic or antagomir to ascertain the role of miR-10b in downregulating inflammation effect of PCA. Bioinformatics analyses, loss-of- and gain-of-function assays and luciferase reporter gene assays were performed to identify targeting relationship between miR-10b and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7 (MAP3K7)/\u03b2-transducin repeat-containing protein (\u03b2-TrCP). Besides, Apoe-/- mice with advanced atherosclerotic plaques were subjected to intragastric administration of PCA and intraperitoneal injection of GW4869. The miR-10b/MAP3K7/\u03b2-TrCP/NF-\u03baB signaling pathways and inflammation indicators were determined in vivo. PCA at physiologically reachable concentrations inhibited NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in TNF-\u03b1-stimulated aortic endothelial cells co-cultured with efferocytic macrophages, in which treatment of GW4869 reversed this effect. Exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages inhibited inflammation and increased miR-10b levels in aortic endothelial cells. Mechanistically, exosomal miR-10b post-transcriptionally repressed MAP3K7 and \u03b2-TrCP, both of which promote NF-\u03baB activation. Knockdown of Map3k7 and Btrc with siRNA in aortic endothelial cells abolished the inhibitory effects of exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages on NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation. Consistently, oral administration of PCA increased miR-10b level and inhibited Map3k7 and Btrc mRNA expression as well as inflammation in aortic endothelial cells in Apoe-/- mice, all of which were abrogated by GW4869 co-treatment. Our current findings suggest that PCA could transfer exosomal miR-10b from efferocytic macrophages to endothelial cells and thus inhibit NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in arterial endothelial cells through repressing MAP3K7 and \u03b2-TrCP, two new targets of miR-10b.",

EPM platform, facilitates the transfection of plasmid DNA encoding SCV-2 spike, nucleocapsid, and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) proteins into the HEK293T cells, enabling the screening of plant polyphenols for their antiviral activity. Punicalagins (PC), anthocyanidins (Anthos), delphinidin, and cyanidin, completely inhibited viral gene expression. These compounds protected Vero E6 cells from SCV-2 induced cytopathic effects with EC\u2085\u2080 values of 18.42\u202f\u03bcM, 72.9\u202f\u03bcM, and 72.54\u202f\u03bcM, respectively.

Understanding this dialogue is essential for elucidating how immune-derived cues trigger epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-like transcriptional changes, a fundamental process that drives tumor cell plasticity and facilitates aggressive phenotypes. Here, we investigated the crosstalk between M2 macrophages and colon cancer cells (HT-29) during the post-tumorigenic phase, focusing on exosome-mediated regulation of EMT, a critical pathway controlling tumor cell phenotypic and transcriptional dynamics. Co-culture experiments revealed that M2 macrophage-derived exosomes (M2-Exo) induced profound transcriptional changes, with downregulation of epithelial markers and increased expression of mesenchymal genes. Importantly, EMT induction was markedly stronger following M2-Exo treatment than in the co-culture setting, suggesting that while soluble mediators play a contributory role, EMT is predominantly and directly driven by exosome-mediated signaling. Transcriptomic profiling identified FAM83A as a key upregulated gene in M2-Exo-treated HT-29 cells. Functional analyses demonstrated that FAM83A promoted EMT by modulating regulators associated with decreased E-Cadherin and increased N-Cadherin, MMP2, and MMP9 expression. Importantly, siRNA-mediated silencing of FAM83A abolished its overexpression and inhibited EMT activation, confirming its essential role in M2-Exo-induced programming of EMT. Collectively, these findings highlight exosome-mediated immune-tumor interactions as critical drivers of EMT and the progression toward an invasive, mesenchymal-like phenotype.",
"41729255": "ID: 41729255\nTitle: Immunomodulatory strategies and targeted delivery systems in atherosclerosis therapy.\nAbstract: Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease where lipid-lowering therapy alone leaves 30-40% residual cardiovascular risk, underscoring the need for immunomodulatory interventions. This review synthesizes literature (1990-2024) on AS immunopathology and targeted nanomedicine. Key mechanisms include dysregulated macrophage polarization (M1/M2 imbalance), Th1/Treg dysfunction, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and NETosis. Immunomodulatory strategies are shifting from broad immunosuppression toward subset-specific precision intervention - targeting mitochondrial fission (DRP1), ANGPTL3, or epigenetic regulators (SET7). Concurrently, nanodelivery systems have evolved from single-ligand targeting to smart, biomimetic platforms (e.g. VLA-4/VCAM-1 dual-targeting, ROS-responsive release) that enhance spatiotemporal precision. Emerging frontiers include immunometabolic crosstalk (cholesterol crystals activating cGAS-STING) and interventions disrupting immune cell communication (LNP-delivered NLRP3 siRNA, PAD4 inhibitors). Major challenges persist - suboptimal plaque penetration, hepatic nanocarrier accumulation, and risks of systemic immunosuppression. Future breakthroughs require dual-modal platforms integrating immunomodulation with metabolic reprogramming, and multi-omics-guided personalized systems that leverage spatial transcriptomics to tailor delivery to patient-specific inflammatory niches. Bridging the gap between mechanistic elegance and clinical efficacy demands humanized models and flexible trial designs.",
"41757585": "ID: 41757585\nTitle: The Immunomodulatory Roles of Extracellular Vesicles in the Pathogenesis of Virus-Related Cancers.\nAbstract: Since their discovery in the 1980s, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have garnered immense interest. These vesicles facilitate cell-to-cell communication and transfer physiologically active molecules such as proteins, lipids, and RNAs to target cells. Oncogenic viruses encode genes that enable viral replication and allow host cells to produce viral proteins and complexes. These viral components represent potential candidates for developing antiviral therapies or vaccines. Exosomes, a type of EV, can enhance immune responses by delivering immunostimulatory molecules and inhibiting viral replication. However, oncoviruses can also exploit the diverse immunoregulatory functions of exosomes to promote disease progression. This review focuses on the dual role of EVs produced during viral infections, examining how they can either enhance or suppress host immunity. We provide an overview of the function of exosomes in oncogenic virus infections, with a particular emphasis on their immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory potential. We also highlight challenges in harnessing these vesicles for advanced cancer theranostics and preventive strategies.",

This study developed DSPE-PEG-M2pep-modified liposomal nanoparticles (M2pep-LNP@siITGB4) delivering siRNA targeting integrin \u03b24 (siITGB4) to reprogram M2 TAMs and induce apoptosis in NSCLC cells, thereby inhibiting metastasis. Cationic liposomes were prepared using thin-film hydration and ultrasonic emulsification, with M2pep peptides enhancing targeted delivery to M2 macrophages. In vitro, THP-1-derived M2 macrophages were co-cultured with A549 and NCI-H1299 cells, and the effects on macrophage polarization and tumor cell behavior were assessed via RT-qPCR, Western blot, and Transwell assays. In vivo, A549 xenograft and lung metastasis models were analyzed using IVIS, flow cytometry, and RNA sequencing. M2pep-LNP@siITGB4 downregulated M2 markers (CD206, Arg1, IL-10), upregulated M1 markers (CD86, iNOS), and increased CD8\u2009+\u2009T cell infiltration. Silencing ITGB4 reduced GNB5 expression and FAK/Src/AKT phosphorylation, promoting apoptosis and inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). RNA-seq revealed 3494 differentially expressed genes, with suppressed ECM-receptor interactions. Tumor volumes and metastatic lesions were significantly reduced. This approach effectively reprograms TAMs, induces tumor cell apoptosis, and suppresses NSCLC metastasis, offering a novel nanomedicine-based strategy for enhancing anti-tumor immunity and improving therapeutic outcomes in NSCLC.",
"41776767": "ID: 41776767\nTitle: Reprogramming Lesional Macrophage Homeostasis via Interferon Regulatory Factor 5 Targeted siRNA Nanoimmunotherapy for Atherosclerosis.\nAbstract: Atherosclerotic macrophages predominantly exhibit a pro-inflammatory phenotype, driving chronic inflammatory and accelerating atherosclerotic progression. Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) is highly expressed in lesional macrophages within advanced atherosclerotic plaques, where it promotes the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, current approaches lack an effective therapeutic strategy to specifically silence this gene in lesional macrophages for atherosclerosis treatment. This study aims to develop and evaluate a dual-targeted, siRNA-based nanotherapeutic platform that selectively acts on atherosclerosis-promoting genes in plaque macrophages, offering a potential strategy for treating atherosclerosis by reprogramming lesional macrophages. Here we designed and developed dual-targeted liposome-based nano-immunotherapeutics encapsulating small interfering RNA (siRNA) against IRF5 (siIRF5) to reprogram macrophage phenotypes within advanced plaques. In high-fat diet-fed ApoE-/- mice with advanced atherosclerotic plaques, dual-targeted siIRF5-loaded liposomes effectively accumulate within lesional macrophages, downregulate IRF5 expression, and promote anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization. Moreover, this siIRF5-based nanoimmunotherapy significantly reduces plaque burden and enhances plaque stability in two independent murine models of atherosclerosis. Furthermore, this siIRF5 nanoimmunotherapy exhibits biocompatibility even after long-term administration, underscoring its translational potential for clinical application in atherosclerosis treatment. This study introduces an innovative dual-targeted siRNA-based nanotherapeutic strategy that acts on atherosclerosis-promoting genes in plaque macrophages, offering a promising therapeutic avenue for atherosclerosis and other macrophage-driven inflammatory diseases.",

However, challenges such as storage stability and targeted delivery efficiency remain in PDEV's applications. Strategies such as lyophilization and injectable hydrogel delivery systems offer potential solutions. In this study, lyophilized PDEVs derived from Solanum nigrum L. berries were incorporated into a thermosensitive injectable gelatine-dopamine (Gel-Dop) hydrogel and evaluated by in vitro for their anti-inflammatory potential using MC3T3 pre-osteoblast cells and RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. The isolated PDEVs show a spherical morphology, an average size of approximately 132.6 nm, a polydispersity index of 0.197, and a protein concentration of 509 \u03bcg mL-1. These PDEVs were efficiently internalized by MC3T3 and RAW 264.7 cells after 12 hours of incubation and showed no cytotoxic effects at concentrations up to 10 \u03bcg mL-1. The release profile confirmed that the hydrogel effectively released the PDEVs, which remained non-toxic and were internalized by cells after 12 hours of incubation. Subsequently, treatment of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated MC3T3 and RAW 264.7 cells with PDEVs led to a reduction in IL-6 protein expression. These findings suggest that lyophilized PDEVs from Solanum nigrum L. berries, when incorporated into Gel-Dop hydrogel, hold promise for future development as an anti-inflammatory agent in bone therapy. This study is the first to characterize and incorporate lyophilized PDEVs from Solanum nigrum L. into thermosensitive injectable Gel-Dop hydrogel and demonstrate their anti-inflammatory potential through the suppression IL-6 expression in LPS-stimulated MC3T3 and RAW 264.7 cells.",
"41859644": "ID: 41859644\nTitle: An exosome-biomimetic photothermal nanocarrier for IGF2BP2 siRNA delivery and enhanced ferroptosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.\nAbstract: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) commonly develops treatment resistance, highlighting the necessity of novel therapeutic strategies. Although ferroptosis has emerged as a promising route, its regulatory determinants and effective gene delivery approaches in HNSCC remain poorly understood. In this study, we determined that the RNA-binding protein IGF2BP2 promotes ferroptosis resistance in HNSCC, at least in part by associating with increased NRF2 mRNA stability and sustaining the NRF2-SLC7A11/GPX4 antioxidant axis. Actinomycin D chase assays further support an IGF2BP2-dependent post-transcriptional regulation of NRF2 under erastin-induced ferroptotic stress. To therapeutically target this pathway, we engineered a biomimetic hybrid nanocarrier (si@PLE) by fusing M1 macrophage-derived exosomes with photothermally responsive cationic liposomes for the targeted delivery of IGF2BP2 small interfering RNA (siRNA). si@PLE exhibited favorable physicochemical properties and stability, and exosome-liposome fusion improved siRNA protection and tumor accumulation compared with that of the matched non-fused control, enabling enhanced tumor-site heating under identical irradiation conditions. In vitro and in vivo, si@PLE combined with near-infrared laser irradiation enhanced ferroptosis relative to either monotherapy, significantly suppressing tumor growth with a favorable safety profile. Collectively, these findings establish a biomimetic gene silencing-photothermal platform to sensitize HNSCC to ferroptosis by targeting the IGF2BP2-NRF2 axis.",
"41873341": "ID: 41873341\nTitle: Profiling of extracellular vesicle-associated microRNAs reveals a regulated response to potato virus Y infection in tomato.\nAbstract: Plant extracellular vesicles (EVs) serve as critical mediators of intercellular communication during plant-pathogen interactions, particularly through their cargo of regulatory small RNAs, enabling the transport of miRNAs to distant tissues during biotic stress. Potato virus Y (PVY), one of the most economically damaging plant viruses globally, poses significant threats to solanaceous crop production. However, the landscape of EV-associated miRNAs and their regulatory roles in PVY infection remain largely unexplored. In this study, we isolated and characterized EV-associated particles from the apoplastic fluid of both PVY-infected and healthy tomato leaves using differential ultracentrifugation, followed by transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle size analysis, and western blotting. High-throughput small RNA sequencing revealed 96 significantly differentially expressed miRNAs in EV-associated particles upon viral challenge. Bioinformatic prediction revealed that 80% of these dysregulated miRNAs potentially target multiple genes. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses demonstrated significant overrepresentation of predicted target genes in pathways associated with transcription, ta-siRNA biogenesis involved in RNA interference, protein binding, RNAi-mediated antiviral immune response, oxidative phosphorylation, mRNA surveillance pathway, and eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis. Our findings demonstrate that PVY infection selectively modulates the miRNA composition within tomato EV-associated particles. These EV-associated particles delivered miRNAs may contribute to a sophisticated antiviral defense mechanism by co-regulating host immunity. This study provides novel insights into the role of EV-associated particles mediated RNA communication in plant immunity and lays a theoretical foundation for developing innovative miRNA- and EV-based antiviral strategies for crop protection.",

Methods: This study was a case series combined with group-designed basic study. The chronic wound tissue and its adjacent normal skin tissue were collected from 8 patients with diabetic foot ulcers, who received debridement surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from June to September 2023, including 5 males and 3 females, aged 45-72 years. The expression of Wnt9a was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method and immunofluorescence method. Eight male C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were used to establish a full-thickness skin resected wound on the back. They were divided into control group received no additional treatment and chronic wound group subcutaneously injected with mouse M1 macrophage derived exosomes at the wound edge to establish a chronic wound model using a random number table method (the same grouping method below), with 4 mice in each group. At 7 days after modeling, the Wnt9a expressions in the wound tissue of mice in two groups was detected by ELISA method. Additional 16 male C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were used to establish the chronic wound model as before and were divided into empty control group and Wnt9a overexpression group, with 8 mice in each group, which were injected subcutaneously at the wound edge with enhanced green fluorescent protein empty adenovirus (AV-eGFP) and Wnt9a gene recombinant adenovirus expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (AV-Wnt9a-eGFP), respectively. At 3, 7, and 14 days after modeling, the percentages of residual wound area were calculated. At 14 days after modeling, the expressions of type \u2160 and type \u2162 collagen were detected by Western blotting, and the arrangement of collagen fibers was observed after Masson staining. The normal human skin tissue collected in the abovementioned experiment was used to isolate fibroblasts (Fbs), which were divided into empty control group infected with AV-eGFP and Wnt9a overexpression group infected with AV-Wnt9a-eGFP. The protein expression of Wnt9a at 72 h after infection was detected by Western blotting; at 48 h after infection, the cell migration rate at 48 h after scratching was detected by scratch test. Additional normal human skin Fbs were collected and divided into Wnt9a specific small interfering RNA (siRNA-Wnt9a) group and negative control small interfering RNA (siRNA-NC) group, which were transfected with corresponding small interfering RNA, respectively. At 24 h after transfection, the cell migration rate at 48 h after scratching was detected by scratch test. Additional normal human skin Fbs were taken and divided into empty control group and Wnt9a overexpression group treated as before. At 72 h after infection, transcriptome sequencing was performed to screen for differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and the gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes enrichment analysis were performed. The sample number in all cell experiments was 3. Results: The results of both ELISA method and immunofluorescence method showed that the expression level of Wnt9a in human chronic wound tissue was significantly lower than that in normal skin tissue (with t values of 7.68 and 10.25, respectively, P<0.05). At 7 days after modeling, the expression level of Wnt9a in the wound tissue of mice in chronic wound group was significantly lower than that in control group (t=5.12, P<0.05). The percentages of residual wound area of mice in Wnt9a overexpression group were significantly lower than those in empty control group at 3, 7, and 14 days after modeling (with t values of 3.90, 6.62, and 5.73, respectively, P<0.05). At 14 days after modeling, the expression levels of type \u2160 and type \u2162 collagen in the wound tissue of mice in Wnt9a overexpression group were significantly lower than those in empty control group (with t values of 6.25 and 5.48, respectively, P<0.05). At 14 days after modeling, the collagen fibers in the wound tissue of mice in Wnt9a overexpression group arranged more orderly than those in empty control group. At 72 h after infection, the protein expression level of Wnt9a in cells in Wnt9a overexpression group was significantly higher than that in empty control group (t=6.96, P<0.05). At 48 h after infection, the cell migration rate in Wnt9a overexpression group was (71.6\u00b16.4)% at 48 h after scratching, which was significantly higher than (38.5\u00b12.4)% in empty control group (t=8.31, P<0.05). At 24 h after transfection, the cell migration rate in siRNA-Wnt9a group was (15.4\u00b13.2)% at 48 h after scratching, which was significantly lower than (31.9\u00b13.6)% in siRNA-NC group (t=5.93, P<0.05). At 72 h after infection, compared with that in empty control group, the significantly downregulated DEGs in cells in Wnt9a overexpression group included multiple collagen family genes, and the genes in cells in Wnt9a overexpression group were significantly enriched in the non-classical Wnt signaling pathway. Conclusions: Wnt9a expression is downregulated in chronic wound tissue of human and mice, and the overexpression of Wnt9a may promote migration of Fbs and collagen remodeling through non-classical Wnt signaling pathway, thereby accelerating chronic wound healing. \u76ee\u7684\uff1a

"41882095": "ID: 41882095\nTitle: Modulating tumor-associated macrophages through APP-CD74 blockade with IL4R-exosomes synergizes with PD-1 inhibition in gastric cancer.\nAbstract: Gastric cancer (GC) is characterized by a highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), limiting the efficacy of immunotherapies. This study identifies the APP-CD74 signaling axis as a critical driver of M2-like tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) polarization in GC. Integrated single-cell RNA sequencing from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets revealed selective enrichment of Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP)-CD74 signaling in immunosuppressive TAM subsets. Functional assays in THP-1-derived and murine bone marrow-derived macrophages confirmed that APP and CD74 activation promotes M2 polarization. In vivo, pharmacological inhibition of APP in GC-bearing mice repolarized TAMs toward the M1 phenotype, enhanced CD8\u207a T cell and NK cell responses, and significantly inhibited tumor growth. To enable targeted delivery, exosomes derived from M1 macrophages were engineered with IL4R-targeting ligands and loaded with APP-specific siRNA [IL4R-Exo(siCD74)], effectively targeting M2 macrophages and reversing their phenotype. In orthotopic GC models, IL4R-Exo(siCD74) markedly suppressed tumor progression. Strikingly, its combination with the immune checkpoint inhibitor Nivolumab synergistically boosted antitumor immunity and reshaped the immunosuppressive TME. These findings uncover the APP-CD74 axis as a novel immunoregulatory pathway in GC and provide a nanotherapeutic strategy leveraging macrophage plasticity to overcome immune resistance and enhance immunotherapeutic efficacy.",

Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) offer a biocompatible means to modulate immune responses, and apple-derived extracellular vesicles (ADEVs) have shown antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, although their osteoregenerative potential remains unclear. Here, we investigate the indirect effects of ADEVs on bone regeneration by assessing how their immunomodulatory action on macrophages influences the osteogenic commitment of human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). ADEVs were isolated, characterized, and applied to THP-1-derived macrophages to evaluate polarization via morphology and immunofluorescence for M1 (iNOS) and M2 (ARG1) markers. Then, the extracellular vesicles (EVs) from untreated and ADEV-treated macrophages were isolated and applied to DPSCs. All EVs were efficiently internalized by both macrophages and DPSCs. Treated macrophages shifted toward an M2-like phenotype, and macrophage-derived EVs (MDEVs) promoted stem cell morphological features consistent with osteogenic activation. These findings suggest that ADEVs promote osteoregeneration indirectly by influencing macrophage polarization and modifying the osteoactive cargo of MDEVs, thereby supporting their potential in cell-free, immunomodulatory approaches for oral bone regeneration.",

This review comprehensively examines the molecular biology of CSFV and the intricate mechanisms it employs to establish infection. We detail the structure and functions of viral proteins, highlighting their roles in virus entry, replication, and immune evasion. A major focus is placed on the virus-host interaction, specifically how CSFV subverts host innate immune responses and hijacks critical cellular processes, including metabolism and cell death pathways. The virus strategically manipulates host cell death programs (apoptosis, mitophagy, necroptosis) and exploits intracellular transport systems to promote its propagation. Furthermore, we summarize recent advances in understanding the cellular receptors involved in CSFV entry and the role of exosomes in viral spread. This synthesis of current knowledge aims to provide a deeper insight into the pathogenesis of CSFV and identify potential vulnerabilities that could be targeted for the development of novel antiviral strategies.",

This mutation is a potential target for CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing. However, the blood-brain barrier and limitations of current viral or nanoparticle-based delivery systems to neurons significantly restrict the clinical application of CRISPR-Cas9 in the brain. To address these challenges, we developed a drug delivery system using acerola-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (AELNs), which may overcome several limitations associated with human exosomes. AELNs stably form complexes with ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) comprised of Cas9 proteins and guide RNAs (gRNAs). We improved the delivery efficiency and selectivity of AELN/RNP complexes in GLP2-receptor-expressing neurons by incorporating GLP2 peptides into the AELN/RNP complexes. Intranasal administration of peptide-tagged AELN/RNP complexes in vivo confirmed the successful genome editing of C9orf72, demonstrating the potential of this system for treating neurodegenerative diseases. This study presents a potentially innovative approach for in vivo genome editing using a noninvasive delivery system.",
"41918722": "ID: 41918722\nTitle: Chronic viral infections and their role in shaping the tumor immune microenvironment.\nAbstract: Chronic viral infections, such as HBV, HCV, EBV, and HPV, contribute to tumorigenesis not only through direct oncogenic effects but also by reshaping the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) via complex immunoregulatory mechanisms. These infections enhance immune suppression and promote metastasis. Viruses induce the accumulation of regulatory T cells (Tregs), myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), and immunosuppressive cytokines, while driving CD8+ T cell exhaustion and impairing NK cell function, creating an immune environment favorable for tumor survival. Chronic inflammation, pro-angiogenic factors, and signals mediated by exosomes and microvesicles further remodel local and distant microenvironments, forming a \"pre-metastatic niche\" that supports tumor cell colonization and metastasis. Key signaling pathways, including NF-\u03baB, STAT3, PD-1/PD-L1, and TGF-\u03b2, are persistently activated by viral proteins such as HBx and LMP1, reinforcing immunosuppression and metastasis. Based on these mechanisms, combined strategies of antiviral therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) or targeting exosomes and immunosuppressive pathways show potential to enhance antitumor immunity and limit metastasis. A deeper understanding of the virus-immune-metastasis axis and related biomarkers may provide precise immunotherapeutic strategies for virus-associated cancers and improve patient outcomes.",
"41922097": "ID: 41922097\nTitle: Microneedle-Based Codelivery of Platycladus orientalis-Derived Extracellular Vesicles and Minoxidil Nanoparticles for Androgenetic Alopecia Treatment.\nAbstract: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a common hair disorder in which limited follicular drug delivery and an inflammatory and oxidative follicular microenvironment reduce topical efficacy. Herein, we developed a fast-dissolving microneedle (MN) patch of chondroitin sulfate and carboxymethyl chitosan for localized codelivery of Platycladus orientalis leaf-derived extracellular vesicles (PO-EVs) and minoxidil nanoparticles (MXD NPs). PO-EVs were separated and characterized as nanoscale vesicles and were shown to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pro-angiogenic activities relevant to hair follicle maintenance. MXD NPs were prepared by thin-film hydration to improve the minoxidil solubility and local retention. Both were loaded into microneedles with sufficient mechanical strength that could dissolve rapidly in the skin. In a mouse model of androgenic alopecia, repeated dual-loaded MN treatment accelerated the telogen-to-anagen transition, increased hair-covered area and shaft thickness, and restored follicular morphology. Mechanistic studies showed that hair follicle stem cells were activated and proliferated, perifollicular oxidative stress and inflammation were reduced, and microvessel density around hair follicles was increased. No evident skin irritation or systemic toxicity was observed. This MN codelivery strategy improves hair regrowth by combining efficient minoxidil delivery with PO-EV-mediated microenvironment restoration and may be extended to other inflammatory/oxidative skin disorders impairing regeneration.",

This review comprehensively outlines the general properties, application-specific characteristics, and isolation techniques of PDEVs, with a particular emphasis on their roles in facilitating cell proliferation, differentiation, and immunomodulation to promote tissue regeneration. We further discuss the therapeutic efficacy of PDEVs derived from various plant sources across different tissue engineering contexts, as well as the application of engineered PDEVs in tailored regenerative strategies. In comparison to mammalian extracellular vesicles, PDEVs present distinct advantages, including minimized ethical concerns and reduced risks of immune rejection. Nevertheless, challenges remain for their clinical translation, such as the lack of standardized isolation protocols and inadequate assessment of long-term in vivo safety. This article synthesizes current understanding of PDEVs, underscores their multifunctional potential, and offers perspectives on engineering approaches aimed at enhancing their therapeutic performance. With continued development, PDEVs may emerge as innovative tools in tissue engineering, facilitating tissue repair and regeneration either through their innate bioactivity or as engineered drug delivery systems.",

While mature-tissue-derived dECM (Mat-dECM) lacks developmental signals, developmental-stage dECM (Dev-dECM) retains these cues but is limited by scarce sources and poor adaptability to adult environments. Here, we proposed postnatal maxillofacial odontogenic tissues as a novel Dev-dECM (pDev-dECM) source. Leveraging its unique trans-stage development-spanning embryonic crown formation to postnatal periodontal maturation-pDev-dECM balances developmental potency with adult environment adaptability. Multiomics comparative analysis revealed that pDev-dECM is enriched in arginylglycylaspartic-acid-containing proteins, which activate macrophage integrin \u03b1v\u03b25-mediated efferocytosis. This mechanism drives macrophage polarization toward regenerative M2 phenotypes, ensures adaptability to the adult environment, and reprograms mesenchymal stem cells to orchestrate developmental recapitulation. Consequently, pDev-dECM not only enabled in\u00a0situ hierarchical regeneration of the periodontal complex but also facilitated cross-organ hierarchical regeneration in skin and muscle defect models. These findings demonstrate that pDev-dECM exerts spatiotemporal control over developmental recapitulation, establishing a universal biomaterial paradigm for multiscale tissue reconfiguration.",

Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs), as an innovative category of natural nanocarriers, effectively integrate therapeutic and delivery capabilities. They provide direct antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits by transporting bioactive phytochemicals and influencing key pathways. In addition, its inherent lipid bilayer structure promotes the effective encapsulation of therapeutic agents. Compared with synthetic systems, it has significant advantages in terms of biocompatibility, low immunogenicity and oral administration potential. However, the clinical application of PDEVs is hindered by challenges such as standardized isolation, batch-to-batch variability, unclear in vivo pharmacokinetics, and scalability.

From a pharmaceutics standpoint, their therapeutic performance is often cargo-governed (e.g., microRNAs and proteins) and is ultimately constrained by delivery determinants such as stability, biodistribution, cellular uptake, and intracellular trafficking. In this review, we compare animal-derived exosomes (ADEs) and PELNs through a formulation-centric lens, emphasizing how source-dependent molecular composition shapes critical delivery behaviors and translational feasibility. We reorganize representative preclinical evidence into pharmaceutics-relevant delivery scenarios-including systemic/vascular targeting, blood-brain barrier transport, oral gastrointestinal delivery, and tumor microenvironment modulation-to connect cargo identity with exposure-site interactions and pharmacodynamic outcomes. We further discuss engineering strategies for improving payload control, targeting precision, and dosing accuracy, including endogenous enrichment, exogenous loading, and surface functionalization, while highlighting scale-up and safety considerations introduced by modification. Finally, we delineate translational priorities required to advance exosome-based products toward clinical development: standardized dose metrics (particle- and cargo-normalized), quantitative PK/biodistribution-PD relationships, potency assays and critical quality attributes (CQAs), manufacturing consistency under GMP, and regulatory-compliant characterization. Collectively, this review reframes ADEs and PELNs as cargo-driven pharmaceutical delivery systems and provides a practical roadmap for translation, with particular attention to the oral and scalable potential of PELNs.",

Conventional therapies, such as cyclosporine A (CsA), are limited by poor corneal permeability and low ocular bioavailability. Here, we developed a novel, biocompatible nano-eye drop formulation using Chrysanthemum indicum L.-derived extracellular vesicles (CELNs) as a natural nanocarrier to engineer CsA-loaded CELNs (CsA@CELNs) for synergistic DED therapy. By combining CsA-mediated immunoregulation with enhanced corneal permeability and the intrinsic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of CELN, the CsA@CELNs effectively disrupts the core pathogenic feedback loop of DED. In vitro and in vivo data demonstrated that a one-week, twice daily topical treatment with CsA@CELNs alleviated oxidative stress by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activating the Nrf2/HO-1/NQO1 signaling pathway, while concurrently suppressing inflammation through inhibiting the NF-\u03baB pathway and promoting macrophage repolarization from the pro-inflammatory M1 to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. In a murine DED model, CsA@CELNs eye drop significantly restored tear secretion, promoted regeneration of corneal and conjunctival cells, and improved lacrimal gland histology. This multi-targeting CsA@CELNs system not only provides a safe and effective nanotherapeutic strategy for DED but also establishes plant-derived extracellular vesicles as a promising drug delivery platform for treating ocular surface and other inflammatory diseases.",

Here, we characterize the structure and functional properties of apple-derived extracellular vesicles (ADEVs) and evaluate their relevance to neuroimmune and gut-brain communication. ADEVs exhibit canonical PDEV features and elicit rapid IP\u2083-dependent Calcium (Ca\u00b2\u207a) signaling in fibroblasts while preserving blood-brain barrier integrity. Neural assays reveal marked cell-type specificity: ADEVs are efficiently internalized by glial cells and activate glial Ca\u00b2\u207a signaling yet display minimal neuronal uptake and no detectable Ca\u00b2\u207a response in differentiated SH-SY5Y neurons. Consistent with this selectivity, ADEVs attenuate TNF-\u03b1-induced cytokine secretion in activated glia but remain inert in resting neural cells. Although capable of encapsulating L-DOPA efficiently, ADEVs fail to deliver functional neuroprotection against rotenone toxicity, indicating limited neuronal compatibility for dopaminergic cargo. In parallel, using advanced in vitro colon simulation platforms, ADEVs modulate the colonic microbiome in a dose-dependent manner, promoting carbohydrate fermentation and short-chain fatty acid production while reducing proteolytic metabolism under physiologically relevant conditions, with sustained, region-specific effects during prolonged exposure. In vivo, ADEV administration in dogs with chronic intestinal inflammation is associated with altered circulating serotonin levels, suggesting engagement of gut-brain neurochemical pathways with potential implications for mood regulation. Collectively, these findings identify ADEVs as biocompatible, glia-responsive plant vesicles with potential neuromodulatory activity, while delineating intrinsic constraints in their use as neuronal drug-delivery systems.",

However, the effective components of Scutellaria baicalensis are complex, and the material basis for its efficacy anti-MG infection remains unclear.\u00a0This study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which Scutellaria baicalensis exosome-like nanoparticles (SBELNs) and the key effector molecule, miR159a, regulate inflammation-induced injury caused by MG infection. SBELNs were isolated from Scutellaria baicalensis root by ultracentrifugation. The in vivo and in vitro transport of SBELNs was investigated through live imaging and laser confocal microscopy after staining with DIR fluorescent dye. Key miRNAs were screened via RNA sequencing, and target genes were predicted using online databases. The interaction between miR159a and its target gene, cyclic nucleotide-gated channel alpha 1 (CNGA1), was validated using a dual-luciferase reporter assay. Furthermore, the regulatory network of the miR159a/CNGA1 axis was systematically analyzed. SBELNs can specifically target lung tissue. Subsequently, SBELNs release bioactive components that alleviate the lung inflammatory damage caused by MG infection. This beneficial effect stems from two aspects. Firstly, the flavonoid metabolites encapsulated in SBELNs directly suppress the inflammatory damage caused by MG infection. Secondly, the microRNA in SBELNs regulates calcium ion homeostasis via the miR159a/CNGA1\u00a0axis. This relieves the intracellular calcium overload induced by MG and participates in the regulation of the immune system by modulating calcium ions. The microRNA in SBELNs regulates calcium ion homeostasis through the miR159a/CNGA1 axis, thereby alleviating MG-induced intracellular calcium overload, mitochondrial damage, excessive ROS, and overactivation of the NF-\u03baB inflammatory pathway. This article expounds that SBELNs alleviate lung injury caused by MG infection by regulating calcium homeostasis.

Hydrogels represent promising wound dressings due to their ability to maintain a moist microenvironment, absorb exudates, and enable controlled release of bioactive agents. Recently, plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles have emerged as a novel, non-toxic, and cross-kingdom therapeutic modality. In this study, we investigated polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan/fibroin-based hydrogels as a delivery platform for plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles isolated from Physalis peruviana, with human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes used as a biological comparator. plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles isolated from Physalis peruviana and human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes were isolated and characterized in terms of size, morphology, and protein content. Composite hydrogels containing chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol, and fibroin (4 % and 10 %) were fabricated via freeze-thawing and characterized for hydrophilicity, swelling behaviour, water content, biodegradability, and protein release profiles. The biological performance of hydrogel-released media incorporating plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles or human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes was evaluated in vitro using human dermal fibroblast 1BR3 cells through cytotoxicity, proliferation, and scratch migration assays. The fabricated hydrogels exhibited hydrophilic surfaces (contact angle < 90\u00b0), high swelling capacity (> 100 %), low water content, and gradual biodegradation over 10 days. Protein release peaked on day 3, indicating favourable release kinetics for bioactive delivery. All hydrogel formulations demonstrated good biocompatibility, with cell viability exceeding 75 %. Notably, hydrogels loaded with plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles isolated from Physalis peruviana significantly promoted fibroblast proliferation and migration, with performance comparable to or exceeding that of human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes-loaded hydrogels, particularly in fibroin-containing formulations. These findings highlight the potential of Physalis peruviana-derived plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles as a novel bioactive agent for wound healing and demonstrate that polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan/fibroin hydrogels serve as an effective delivery platform to enhance their biological activity. This study supports the translational potential of plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles-based hydrogel systems for future wound healing applications.",

However, CSCs are mainly localized in the deep and hypoxic regions of the tumour microenvironment that hinder drug penetration. Furthermore, their overexpression of the CD24/Siglec10 immune checkpoint axis markedly suppresses immune clearance, severely limiting the efficacy of current therapeutic strategies. To address this challenge, this study developed an in situ engineered \"cascade-amplified\" drug-loaded vesicle delivery system, aiming to achieve deep drug delivery into CSC-enriched regions and enhance anti-tumour immune responses. Based on a biomimetic \"core-shell\" nanoplatform (siXkr8/Dox@PMLC), this system initiates a cascade within the TME where Doxorubicin (Dox) induces tumour cells to generate drug-loaded apoptotic bodies (ApoBDs). These ApoBDs serve as primary vesicles that, upon uptake by adjacent tumour cells, trigger secondary apoptosis, establishing a \"cascade-amplified\" cycle of enhanced drug delivery. Meanwhile, the silencing of the phospholipid scramblase Xkr8 via siRNA inhibits phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure on the surface of ApoBDs, thereby preventing their recognition and clearance by M2-type macrophages and facilitating immune phenotype remodelling. Furthermore, through targeted blockade of the CD24/Siglec-10 immune axis, the nanoplatform enhances macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of CSCs. In summary, this strategy achieves deep eradication of CSCs and synergistically enhances anti-tumour immunotherapy, demonstrating significant translational potential.",

The clinical use of finasteride for AGA is limited by its poor solubility and systemic adverse effects. To address the limitations of finasteride, we developed a drug delivery system using ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNs).

Hepatotropic viruses hijack host exosomal biogenesis pathways to facilitate immune evasion, promote viral dissemination, and drive chronic inflammation and hepatic fibrosis. Paradoxically, these same vesicles offer unprecedented opportunities for noninvasive disease monitoring and targeted therapeutic intervention. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence on the dual role of exosomes in hepatitis virus infection, evaluating their evolution from pathogenic vectors to clinical tools for liquid biopsy diagnostics and engineered antiviral delivery. We examined how exosomal cargo, including microRNAs, proteins, and viral nucleic acids, enables precise stratification of liver disease stages, real-time treatment monitoring, and early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma. Furthermore, we explore advanced bioengineering strategies, such as endogenous cargo loading, surface functionalization, and the targeted delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 complexes and RNA-based therapeutics, which position engineered exosomes as next-generation precision nanomedicines. Despite compelling preclinical data, clinical translation remains constrained by significant bottlenecks, including scalable good manufacturing practice (GMP) production, the lack of standardized isolation and characterization protocols, and evolving regulatory pathways. Bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and bedside application will require coordinated advancements in manufacturing technology, global standardization initiatives, and rigorous clinical validation.

Due to no specific therapeutic agents, therapeutic strategies are urgently required. Ginkgo biloba, a living fossil in the plant kingdom, has been employed for millennia in treating lung diseases. Here, we isolated and characterized extracellular vesicles from G. biloba (GbEVs). GbEVs demonstrated excellent stability and specific tropism for the lungs. Proteomic analysis and nontarget metabolomics revealed a distinct profile enriched in peroxidases and containing small amounts of ginkgolides and flavonoids, implying potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In vitro, GbEVs significantly suppressed lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cytokine storm and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, thereby mitigating inflammatory responses, preserving epithelial-endothelial integrity, and restoring the balance of macrophage subsets. In the ALI model, GbEV administration significantly restored weight loss, improved pulmonary edema, alleviated tissue damage, and relieved pro-inflammatory states, especially maintaining the balance of M1/M2 macrophage polarization. Furthermore, we stablished a plant cell suspension culture system to scale up the production of GbEV-like nanovesicles with comparable properties, in similar morphology and bioactivity.

Here we engineer a biomimetic delivery platform, such as the Trojan Horse system, composed of platelet membrane and extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from M2-like macrophages. The resulting vesicles, called platelet-extracellular vesicles (P-EVs), selectively accumulate at injured endothelium and atherosclerotic plaques and enable the co-delivery of PIM1 siRNA and Max-40279. This strategy suppresses endothelial-mesenchymal transition, reduces macrophage foam cell formation, and attenuates inflammatory responses in lesions.

Accumulating evidence indicates that PDEVs can modulate immune responses, suppress inflammatory pathways, exert antioxidant effects, protect bone and cartilage, and influence the gut-joint axis. Meanwhile, engineering strategies, including drug loading, targeted modification and integration with smart materials, significantly enhance their therapeutic precision and stability. Despite their favorable biocompatibility and cross-barrier delivery potential, challenges such as insufficient standardization of isolation protocols, product heterogeneity, and limited mechanistic insight continue to hinder clinical translation.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising alternative due to their immunomodulatory properties; however, whole-cell therapies have certain limitations. MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), including small vesicles-exosomes-have emerged as a safe cell-free therapeutic platform capable of crossing biological barriers and delivering bioactive cargo with low immunogenicity. Various types of RNAs abundantly produced by host MSCs represent a key element of EV content. In particular, EVs carry small RNAs, which essentially determine cellular life and fate. Our review provides a comprehensive mechanistic framework for the use of RNA-loaded EVs, specifically those carrying microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs), in restoring immune homeostasis. We detail the biogenesis and molecular mechanisms governing sorting of RNA into EVs, along with endogenous and exogenous engineering strategies to enhance therapeutic potency. We examine how RNA-loaded EVs modulate immunological processes like reprogramming of macrophage M1-M2 polarization, Th17/Treg balance, and suppression of inflammatory signaling pathways such as NF-\u03baB and the NLRP3 inflammasome. We address critical translational challenges-EV heterogeneity, manufacturing scalability, and need for standardized quality control-while outlining future opportunities for RNA-loaded EV-based therapeutics.",

However, their efficacy is often limited by toxicities owing to their non-selective targeting of rapidly dividing cells and consequent damage to healthy tissues. In recent years, advances in nanomedicine and biotechnology have drawn increasing attention to plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) as an emerging, promising strategy for cancer therapy. As novel therapeutic vehicles, PDEVs offer key advantages, including high biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. However, their clinical translation has been significantly hampered by inherent limitations, including insufficient targeting specificity, low and uncontrollable drug-loading efficiency, and challenges in large-scale production and standardization.

Using vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) as a model, we investigated the antiviral and immunomodulatory effects of pomelo-derived extracellular vesicles (EVPomelo). Among multiple plant vesicles screened, EVPomelo exhibited the strongest anti-VSV activity in vitro and in vivo. LC-MS analysis identified penicillic acid (PA) as an important endogenous bioactive component. Mechanistically, EVPomelo suppressed viral replication and reduced IFN-\u03b2 and IL-6 production, accompanied by the inhibition of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) activation and decreased ISG15 transcription. Functional evidence suggests that these effects may be associated with the modulation of glycogen synthase kinase 3\u03b2 (GSK3\u03b2)-dependent signaling, to which PA may contribute. Sodium alginate (SA) encapsulation further improved in vivo retention and sustained release.

Current treatments often face challenges including limited targeting efficacy and systemic side effects. To develop a novel targeted therapy for RA, this study constructed a functionalized extracellular vesicle (EV) system by engineering ginseng stems and leaves-derived EVs with hyaluronic acid (HA) modification and curcumin (Cur) loading (Cur@EVs-PH). Structurally, the EVs-PH drug-loaded nanoplatform integrates the remarkable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of EVs with the prolonged circulation capacity conferred by PEG. This design further capitalizes on the targeting ability of HA, thereby providing a robust structural foundation for the efficient delivery of therapeutics to disease sites. Our results demonstrated that the designed system achieved enhanced inflammatory targeting through CD44 receptor-mediated accumulation and exhibited potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In the collagen-induced arthritis model, Cur@EVs-PH significantly alleviated joint swelling, reduced pathological scores and normalized immune organ indices.

Inflammatory macrophages in the spleen are attractive therapeutic targets in systemic inflammation, yet spleen-selective delivery systems with efficient endosomal escape remain underdeveloped. Here, a structure-guided peptide engineering workflow was used to generate histidine-rich, pH-switchable endosomolytic peptides for spleen-selective siRNA delivery. Sequence design integrated pH-dependent charge transition modeling, amphipathic helix prediction, membrane interaction scoring, and safety filtering. Six candidate peptides were synthesized and evaluated for pH-responsive structure, membrane disruption, hemocompatibility, siRNA complexation, serum stability, macrophage uptake, endosomal escape, biodistribution, and anti-inflammatory efficacy. The lead peptide, HSEP-6, showed a predicted net charge increase from +3.1 at pH\u20097.4 to +7.4 at pH\u20095.5, helix content increasing from 17% to 56%, and acidic calcein release increasing from 9% to 62%.

This review synthesizes mechanistic understanding of CNT-mediated gene delivery: cellular uptake, receptor-mediated targeting through surface functionalization, and the challenge of endosomal escape. Understanding how CNTs enter cells, behave intracellularly, and what determines functional therapeutic outcomes is essential for advancing their clinical development. We detail four primary endosomal escape mechanisms: direct cell membrane translocation through intrinsic needlelike property or with cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) facilitation, the proton sponge effect from polyamine coatings, and photothermal/photochemical internalization. We also compare their efficiency against lipid nanoparticle (LNP) and polymeric vector. We further examine CNT's intracellular fate, covering protein corona formation, complement pathway activation and its immune consequences, macrophage recognition, and biodegradation. Intracellular fate trajectories are linked to measurable functional outcomes. Lysosomal sequestration governs their silencing potency, tumor tissue pharmacokinetics determine knockdown duration, and CNS biopersistence coincides with sustained microglial activation.

The development of targeted and biocompatible drug delivery systems is urgently needed to control pulmonary inflammatory cascades while minimizing systemic toxicity. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles offer a naturally safe and anti-inflammatory platform for therapeutic delivery. Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1), a major bioactive compound from ginseng, possesses potent anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties, whereas lemon-derived EVs (LEVs) exhibit intrinsic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Here, we engineered a multifunctional, biocompatible drug delivery platform, GRb1@LEVs-cRGD, in which ginsenoside Rb1 is incorporated into and fused with LEVs to form hybrid bio-nanovesicles, while the vesicle surface is functionalized with cyclic RGD (cRGD) peptides to target integrin \u03b1v\u03b23 highly expressed in inflamed pulmonary tissues, thereby enhancing site-specific delivery. In vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that GRb1@LEVs-cRGD effectively inhibited M1 macrophage polarization, suppressed inflammatory cascades, and preserved epithelial-endothelial integrity.

However, their translational development is limited by unresolved questions surrounding safety, biodistribution, product identity, and batch consistency. In this review, we synthesize current knowledge on the toxicology and biodistribution of plant-derived extracellular vesicle products, with emphasis on route-dependent exposure, barrier interactions, immune recognition, hemocompatibility, microbiome effects, and off-target organ accumulation. We argue that an edible plant origin should not be considered a surrogate for safety, particularly when products are administered at high doses, repeatedly, or through non-oral routes. We further identify quality control as a central determinant of both efficacy and safety, because plant source, growth conditions, harvest timing, isolation workflow, storage, and co-isolated contaminants can substantially alter vesicle composition and biological activity. To address these challenges, we propose a translational framework that integrates chemistry, manufacturing, and control principles with route-specific nonclinical toxicology testing and mechanism-linked potency assays. The framework highlights minimum expectations for identity, purity, potency, stability, and contaminant testing, including microbial burden, endotoxin-like activity, pesticide residues, and heavy metals. We also outline research priorities needed for regulatory-grade development, including harmonized nomenclature, reference materials, orthogonal characterization strategies, and mechanistic studies that distinguish vesicle-intrinsic effects from cargo- or impurity-driven toxicity.

Its use in animal disease control faces two challenges: inefficient target design relying on computer-predicted small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) rather than virus-derived siRNAs (vsiRNAs), and the lack of cost-effective siRNA delivery systems. In this study, we address both limitations by engineering a probiotic Bacillus subtilis 168 strain, called the recombinant\u00a0B. subtilis\u00a0AAD (Anti-AIV-DsRNA, targeted AIV), that constitutively expresses vsiRNA-enriched dsRNA targeting the H9N2 avian influenza virus. Oral administration of AAD leads to the release of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-loaded extracellular vesicles (EVs), which efficiently reduce H9N2 viral loads and mitigate pathological lesions. Mechanistically, virus-derived dsRNA is processed by the enzyme Dicer into siRNAs, which then activate RNAi and interferon signaling, resulting in approximately a 70% reduction in viral burden.

Transcriptomic profiling revealed coordinated reprogramming of pathways involved in inflammation, fibrosis, and extracellular matrix remodeling. In a rat OSF model, A-T-S reduced collagen deposition and profibrotic signaling while mitigating inflammatory infiltration and vascular abnormalities, without evident toxicity in major organs.

Among these, galectins have emerged as key regulators of the EBV life cycle, influencing viral attachment, latency maintenance, lytic reactivation, and the remodeling of the tumor microenvironment. Galectin-1, -3, and -9 exhibit context-dependent functions that collectively modulate oncogenic signaling pathways, T\u2011cell exhaustion, regulatory T\u2011cell expansion, and innate immune sensing. Recent clinical studies further suggest that circulating galectins and galectin-enriched exosomes may serve as non-invasive biomarkers for disease progression and prognosis in EBV-associated malignancies. Despite these advances, major knowledge gaps remain regarding member-specific functions, compensatory galectin networks, and the spatiotemporal dynamics of galectin regulation during infection. Targeting the galectin-glycan axis therefore represents a promising frontier for host-directed antiviral and anticancer therapies, with the potential to disrupt viral latency, restore antiviral immunity, and improve clinical outcomes in EBV-driven diseases.",

These features underscore their value as dual-function systems capable of serving as both carriers and bioactive agents. Unlike previous reviews that focused primarily on disease-specific applications or on individual engineering techniques, this review established a conceptual framework integrating three interconnected dimensions: (i) engineering strategies that address the inherent limitations of PDEVs (targeting, stability, loading efficiency); (ii) the carrier-performance-synergy paradigm linking PDEV composition to therapeutic outcomes; and (iii) gel-composite design principles that transform local retention into a controllable delivery platform. This review delves into various engineering methodologies, including targeted modification, enhanced stability, and optimized drug loading, while elucidating the performance characteristics of PDEVs as drug carriers, focusing on their protective, targeting, and controlled-release properties. It notably investigates the synergistic interactions between the intrinsic bioactivity of PDEVs and the drugs they deliver. Furthermore, this review highlights advanced applications of PDEV gel composites in localized drug delivery, specifically emphasizing their clinical potential for treating dermatological conditions. Finally, it highlights the current challenges faced by PDEVs and anticipates future research directions, such as synthetic biology, multi-omics analysis, and clinical translation. This review provides a theoretical framework for the rational design and clinical translation of PDEVs. It thereby promotes their innovative development in precision nanomedicine.",

While secreted phosphoproteins are crucial in this process, the upstream kinases regulating their post-translational modifications and biological functions remain poorly understood. Integrating single-cell RNA sequencing and macromolecular interaction analysis, we identified a pro-fibrotic FPR3+ macrophage subset. We utilized co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry to map the interaction between the Golgi kinase Fam20C and its substrate Osteopontin (also known as SPP1). To validate the functional requirement of this kinase in vivo, we employed a Fab'-functionalized macromolecular delivery system to specifically silence Fam20C in macrophages. We demonstrate that Fam20C phosphorylates SPP1, a critical modification that facilitates its secretion and subsequent binding to CD44 receptors on lung-resident mesenchymal stem cells (LR-MSCs). This ligand-receptor interaction inhibits the Hippo pathway, driving LR-MSC differentiation into myofibroblasts. Importantly, specific silencing of Fam20C using the targeted siRNA delivery strategy significantly attenuated fibrotic progression and blocked the macrophage-LR-MSC fibrogenic crosstalk in mouse models. This study reveals the Fam20C-SPP1 phosphorylation axis as a critical macromolecular switch in pulmonary fibrosis. Our findings provide mechanistic insights into immune-stromal communication and highlight Fam20C as a viable target for precision intervention.",

This study aimed to develop an enzyme-responsive, fibrosis-targeted nanotherapeutic system capable of simultaneously delivering siRNA against progranulin (siPGRN) and quercetin (QT) to remodel the fibrotic microenvironment and effectively attenuate renal fibrosis. The TIMP-HDL-Nano@siPGRN&QT nanoparticles prepared in this study exhibit uniform nanoscale size (~\u2009100\u00a0nm), high encapsulation efficiency, excellent stability, and favorable biocompatibility. The MMP9-responsive modification significantly enhanced renal accumulation and fibrotic lesion targeting in vivo. Treatment with TIMP-HDL-Nano@siPGRN&QT markedly alleviated UUO-induced renal injury, apoptosis, and fibrosis, outperforming free drug. Transcriptomic and mechanistic analyses revealed that the therapeutic effects were mediated through disruption of the PGRN-PPAR\u03b1 interaction, restoration of PPAR\u03b1 signaling, and subsequent inhibition of NF-\u03baB-driven inflammatory pathways. Furthermore, the nanoparticles suppressed pro-inflammatory M1 macrophage polarization and promoted M2 polarization in a PPAR\u03b1-dependent manner. This study demonstrates that TIMP-HDL-Nano@siPGRN&QT enables efficient, targeted co-delivery of siRNA and small-molecule therapeutics to fibrotic kidneys. By remodeling the fibrotic immune microenvironment through the PGRN-PPAR\u03b1-NF-\u03baB axis, this nanoplatform provides a potent and mechanistically defined strategy for the treatment of renal fibrosis and offers translational potential for other inflammation-driven fibrotic diseases.",

Their complex and multifactorial pathogenesis, involving endothelial dysfunction, chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, metabolic dysregulation, and pathological remodeling, limits the long-term effectiveness of current therapeutic strategies and underscores the need for novel treatment approaches. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) have recently emerged as promising cardioprotective agents because of their favorable biocompatibility, relatively low immunogenicity, abundant endogenous bioactive cargoes, and engineering flexibility. Owing to these properties, PDEVs possess dual characteristics as natural nanocarriers and bioactive therapeutic agents. Preclinical evidence from various in vitro and in vivo cardiovascular disease models indicates that PDEVs exert antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and tissue-reparative effects, thereby attenuating myocardial injury, reducing oxidative stress, and promoting cardiomyocyte survival. Beyond their intrinsic therapeutic activities, PDEVs can also serve as multifunctional drug delivery vehicles for small-molecule drugs, nucleic acids, proteins, and natural bioactive compounds, improving cargo stability, bioavailability, and therapeutic performance. Recent advances in surface functionalization, membrane fusion, and biomimetic design have further enhanced their targeting capacity and functional controllability. This review focuses on the application of PDEVs in cardiovascular disease therapy, systematically summarizing their preparation, characterization, quality evaluation, and relative advantages and limitations compared with conventional nanocarriers.

They are enriched in diverse functional components and function as natural mediators that facilitate intercellular communication and regulate multiple physiological processes. Owing to their unique biological activities and delivery capabilities, these vesicles have emerged as a frontier research hotspot.

Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris) has been increasing application in the food industry and biomedical fields. Nevertheless, the biogenesis and immunomodulatory functions of EVs from Chlorella species remain poorly understood. Herein, we found that the EVs in C. vulgaris originated from \"vacuolar structures\", a process analogous to the biogenesis of exosomes which originates from endosomes in mammalian cells. Therefore, we further isolated and characterized EVs secreted by Chlorella vulgaris (C.V-EVs). Afterwards, we investigated the regulatory effects of C.V-EVs on immune cells, with a particular emphasis on their capacity to promote dendritic cell (DC) maturation, enhance antigen presentation, and improve T-cell priming efficiency. Furthermore, we developed C.V-EVs as multifunctional biomimetic nanocarriers for co-delivering gemcitabine (Gem) and a programmed cell death-1/ligand-1 checkpoint inhibitor (PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor, PD-1/L1i), and conjugated these drug-loaded C.V-EVs with platelet (Platelet-C.V-EVs-Gem&PD-1/L1i) to enhance tumor-targeted delivery. Simultaneously, the release of PD-1/L1i could block the PD-1/PD-L1 signaling axis, reinvigorating tumor specific-T cell activity, to trigger robust antitumor immune responses. In addition, C. vulgaris could generate oxygen in situ to alleviate hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment, synergistically with preloaded C. V-EVs to promote the infiltration and activation of immune cells to prevent the tumor relapse and metastasis.",

Macrophages are primary targets of EBOV, and viral replication profoundly alters macrophage transcriptional programs, driving hyperinflammation. Although long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly recognized as regulators of immunity and viral pathogenesis, their roles in EBOV infection remain poorly understood. We performed comprehensive transcriptomic profiling of primary human monocyte-derived macrophages infected with the highly pathogenic EBOV Mayinga variant. Infection triggered extensive remodeling of both coding and non-coding transcriptomes, including hundreds of differentially expressed lncRNAs. Functional analysis of neighboring protein-coding genes of EBOV-induced lncRNAs (EVILs) revealed enrichment of pathways linked to cytokine signaling, transcriptional regulation, and cell signaling, all of which are central to Ebola virus disease (EVD) pathogenesis. Among the most strongly induced EVILs, LINC01740 and its neighboring protein-coding gene, Activating Transcription Factor 3 (ATF3), were significantly upregulated. Antisense oligonucleotide-mediated inhibition of LINC01740 reduced ATF3 mRNA and protein levels. CRISPR/Cas13d-mediated knockdown of ATF3 restored type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling and antiviral gene expression in EBOV-infected macrophages. Mechanistically, ATF3 functions as a negative regulator of IFN-I and type I interferon-stimulated gene expression, thereby suppressing antiviral immune responses in EBOV-infected macrophages. Together, these findings identify a previously unrecognized LINC01740-ATF3-IFN-I regulatory axis that EBOV exploits to promote immune suppression and viral replication.",

This study explores how Salvia miltiorrhiza nanovesicles alleviate atherosclerosis by regulating myeloid cells and inflammation. We prepared SDNVs using high-speed centrifugation and analyzed them with nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and live imaging. Atherosclerosis was studied in ApoE-/- mice using models with bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM). Macrophages were classified with immunofluorescence staining, and cytokines and inflammatory factors were measured using qRT-PCR and ELISA. Flow cytometry identified bone marrow stem cells, progenitor cells, and blood cell types. SDNVs exhibited characteristics of plant extracellular vesicles and significantly lowered total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL levels in atherosclerotic mice. Immunofluorescence staining showed fewer pro-inflammatory (M1) macrophages and more anti-inflammatory (M2) macrophages in arterial plaques. qRT-PCR and ELISA revealed reduced levels of inflammatory markers in the aorta and serum. Flow cytometry showed decreased bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells (Lin- Sca-1+ cKit+), progenitor cells (MPP4), and monocytes and neutrophils in peripheral blood. SDNVs also inhibited M1 polarization and promoted M2 polarization in BMDMs. SDNVs exert potent anti-atherosclerotic effects through lipid regulation and immune modulation, thus advancing PDEV-based therapeutic strategies for atherosclerosis. Limitations involve the use of a single ApoE-/- mouse model and unclear underlying mechanisms of cellular SDNV uptake. SDNVs demonstrate immune-regulating and anti-inflammatory effects. They effectively enter the body and modulate bone marrow cell, blood cell production, macrophage behavior, and inflammation, thereby slowing the progression of atherosclerosis.",

Here, a hierarchically engineered oral nanotherapeutic is developed based on Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG-derived bacterial nanovesicles (BNVs) for inflammatory macrophage-targeted gene silencing in colitis. The vesicles are genetically engineered to display an anti-mCD80 nanobody, loaded with siIl17ra, and further encapsulated within calcium alginate microcapsules to improve gastrointestinal protection and enable gastrointestinal protection and intestinal-fluid-associated release in the lower gut. The resulting system preserves nanoscale vesicular morphology, exhibits favorable cytocompatibility, and shows enhanced uptake by inflammatory macrophages after nanobody decoration. Following internalization, siIl17ra/CD80-BNVs effectively suppress Il17ra expression and reprogram macrophages toward a pro-repair phenotype. Microcapsule incorporation further improves siRNA retention, restrains premature release under acidic conditions, and promotes sustained release under intestinally relevant pH conditions. After oral administration, MC-siIl17ra/CD80-BNVs display enhanced colorectal retention and markedly alleviate dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis, as evidenced by reduced disease activity, attenuated histopathological injury, enhanced epithelial regeneration, decreased inflammatory mediator expression, and reduced NF-\u03baB/caspase-associated marker changes.

Addressing these limitations demands materials that integrate tumor-selective targeting with immune microenvironment modulation. Here, clinical analysis of CRC specimens revealed pronounced transferrin (Tf) enrichment in CRC-associated intestinal regions. Guided by this finding, we engineered a gastrointestinal-stable cyclic Tf-binding peptide (cp) with high Tf affinity and constructed cp-modified ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (cp-GEVs) for in situ Tf-mediated sandwich-like targeting. By recruiting endogenous Tf, cp-GEVs established a Tf-mediated bridging interface that selectively engages Tf receptor-overexpressing intestinal epithelium and tumor cells, enabling efficient epithelial transcytosis, tumor-selective accumulation, and deep intratumoral penetration after oral administration. When loaded with irinotecan (CPT-11), CPT@cp-GEVs significantly enhanced intracellular drug delivery and reprogrammed immunosuppressive M2-like tumor-associated macrophages toward a pro-inflammatory phenotype, thereby disrupting cancer stem cell-enriched drug-resistant niches. In AOM/DSS-induced primary CRC models and patient-derived ex vivo systems, CPT@cp-GEVs significantly improved chemotherapeutic efficacy while attenuating resistance. Collectively, this work establishes a Tf-mediated sandwich-like targeting framework for oral cancer therapy, offering a conceptually distinct materials design paradigm that integrates endogenous ligand recruitment with immune microenvironment reprogramming.",

To address this issue, we developed a natural drug delivery system using exosome-like nanoparticles (ACELNs) isolated from the co-decoction of Astragali Radix and Curcumae Rhizoma, which can effectively encapsulate and preserve the bioactive components from the herbal pair. Systematic characterization confirmed that ACELNs maintained excellent structural integrity, flat spheroid morphology, and favorable gastrointestinal stability with desirable colloidal properties. Cellular and rat pharmacokinetic studies demonstrated that ACELNs significantly improved the oral bioavailability of the loaded active components. In Lewis lung cancer ectopic mouse model, the combination of ACELNs and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) exhibited superior antitumour efficacy and excellent biocompatibility.

Host-directed therapeutic approaches are increasingly recognized as promising alternatives. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is an immunomodulatory molecule with host-dependent effects on macrophage function; however, its therapeutic use is hindered by instability and poor solubility. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) offer a controlled and biocompatible delivery platform capable of enhancing intracellular drug accumulation. ATRA-loaded SLNs were prepared and characterized for size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and morphology. Their antileishmanial activity was evaluated against extracellular L. infantum promastigotes, noninfected RAW 264.7 macrophages, and L. infantum-infected macrophages using resazurin-based assays and xCELLigence real-time cell analysis. Neither free ATRA nor ATRA-loaded SLNs exhibited significant inhibitory activity against extracellular promastigotes at concentrations up to 75 \u03bcM. In contrast, both forms of ATRA demonstrated marked dose-dependent inhibition in infected macrophages, with a significantly enhanced intracellular response observed in the SLN formulation, while maintaining excellent biocompatibility in noninfected macrophages. Enhanced uptake and sustained intracellular release are likely contributors to the improved efficacy of the SLN system. The findings reveal that ATRA exerts its antileishmanial activity primarily through host-dependent mechanisms that become apparent within infected macrophages, and that encapsulation into SLNs markedly amplifies this intracellular effect while preserving cell viability. ATRA-loaded SLNs thus represent a promising host-directed therapeutic strategy for the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis.",

Here we report a hierarchical, stimuli-responsive nanomedicine designed on principles of safety, specificity, switchability, and synergy. We synthesized phenylboronic ester-caged biodegradable polymers shielded by functional polysaccharide shells. These nanoparticles remain inert during circulation but selectively activate within infection microenvironments. Upon activation, the exposed cationic polymer physically compromises bacterial membranes, enabling the entry of co-delivered antibiotics such as rifampicin into Gram-positive, Gram-negative, mycobacterial, and biofilm-embedded pathogens. Our research led to the discovery of glycans that significantly improve therapeutic outcomes. We found that different glycans exhibited distinct effects in various tissues and conditions: chondroitin sulfate effectively targeted CD44-abundant infectious niches, enabling precise localization and enhanced therapeutic efficacy, whereas levan uniquely stimulated macrophage oxidative bursts, promoting intracellular pathogen clearance. By leveraging these distinct biological interactions, our platform overcomes the physical and biological barriers of AMR, offering a universal strategy to treat diverse, multidrug-resistant infections.",

Here, we developed a hyaluronic acid-modified polypyrrole-copper nanoparticle (PLGA-Cuppy@HA, mCuppy) for copper delivery and irreversible electroporation (IRE)-assisted therapy. To optimize therapeutic performance, copper loading and HA surface modification were systematically tuned, resulting in a formulation with balanced physicochemical properties, efficient CD44-mediated cellular uptake, and favorable biological activity. When combined with IRE, mCuppy exhibited enhanced intratumoral retention, improved 3D spheroid penetration, and increased intracellular uptake, which were associated with IRE-induced membrane permeabilization and improved intratumoral distribution. Mechanistically, integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses revealed that the combination treatment induced profound metabolic reprogramming associated with cuproptosis, including dysregulation of pantothenate/CoA biosynthesis, unsaturated fatty acid metabolism, and glycerolipid metabolism. These alterations were accompanied by lipoylated protein aggregation, lipid droplet accumulation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Notably, additional analyses of cell death pathways suggested that, while cuproptosis represents a dominant mechanism, apoptosis and lipid metabolism-associated stress responses may also contribute to the overall therapeutic effect. In orthotopic PDAC models, mCuppy combined with IRE achieved marked tumor suppression and promoted antitumor immune remodeling, including dendritic cell maturation, increased CD8+ T-cell infiltration, and M1 macrophage polarization.

Chebulinic acid (CA), a polyphenolic compound from Terminalia chebula, exhibits potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties against UVB-induced skin damage. However, its large molecular weight hinders transdermal delivery and the TAT47-57 peptide (core of HIV-1 TAT) enables rapid transmembrane transport. Large particles with double-layer membrane structure and a diameter exceeding 1000 nm were obtained during the separation of plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNs), which are not considered as PELNs (50-500 nm), after a mixture with TAT anchored to the surface of engineered artificial vesicles (EAVs) and extrusion causes membrane fusion, employed as novel nanocarriers to overcome the difficulty in skin penetration by leveraging their lipid bilayer structure and surface membrane-anchored TAT for efficient epidermal fusion and intercellular penetration. Furthermore, CA-loaded TAT-ePELNs demonstrate significant efficacy in mitigating UVA-induced photoaging.

To address this, we developed inhalable polymer nanoparticles featuring gradient spatial protonation and thermal expansion to overcome mucus and biofilm barriers. Herein, poly(acrylamide-co-acrylonitrile) (P(AAm-co-AN)) with upper critical solution temperature (UCST) as thermo-responsive backbone, combined together with 2,4,5-triaminopyridine as cross-linking point, and N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-1,3-propanediamine as surface modifier, to impart the dual-responsive capability. They naturally exhibited thermo-responsive behavior that accelerated antibiotic release in hyperthermia inflammation site, and pH-dependent charge reversal from -13.45\u00b10.63 (pH 7.4) to +22.51\u00b10.31 mV (pH 5.0). This synergistic effect enabled them to overcame multiple physiological barriers through enhanced mucus penetration, improved cellular uptake, and efficient lysosomal escape. In particular, they exhibited inherent antibacterial activity in acidic inflammation microenvironment, significant biofilm penetration capability and immunomodulatory effects. This multifunctional platform not only validates the advantages of gradient spatial protonation in complex biological interfaces but also provides a physicochemical strategy for designing smart nanocarriers to overcome physiological multibarriers. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Inhaled nanomedicines face a paradoxical interfacial challenge: mucus traps positively charged particles, while bacterial biofilms require them for penetration. To address these contradictory requirements, we designed a polymeric nanoparticle featuring triple-level amine system. This design enabled gradient spatial protonation, driving a charge reversal from -13.45\u00b10.63 mV at pH 7.4 to +22.51\u00b10.31 mV at pH 5.0 within acidic infection microenvironments. Consequently, these nanocarriers achieved 83% mucus penetration under normal physiological conditions and 100% biofilm penetration in acidic infection microenvironment. Notably, the polymer network itself physically disrupted bacterial membranes and modulated macrophage polarization toward the anti-inflammatory phenotype, even without loaded antibiotics. This work is anticipated to provide a promising strategy for overcoming complex biological interfaces in inhalable nanodelivery.",

First, the active ingredient in the YQHX formulation was identified by LC-MS analysis. Subsequently, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) tests particle size. Mapping tests nanoparticle surface elements. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) tests nanoparticle size and distribution. ZETA tests nanoparticle surface potential. HPLC tests drug release. The results showed that these nanoparticles were spherical, approximately 100\u00a0nm in size, and had good dispersion. The P element content of MM/YQHXF-NPs increased after cell membrane coating, and their hydrodynamic size also increased accordingly, but the Polymer dispersity index (PDI) value was low, indicating good monodispersity. In addition, the nanoparticle surface had a weak negative charge, the encapsulation efficiency of YQHXF was 59.4%, and the drug loading rate was 5.61%. In cell-based experiments, MM/YQHXF-NPs showed no cytotoxicity towards A7r5 cells at a concentration of 150\u00a0\u03bcg/mL. The study found that ox-LDL-induced A7r5 cell-to-foam cell transformation was significantly inhibited. Oil Red O staining revealed that MM/YQHXF-NPs reduced lipid accumulation. In addition, YQHXF and its active component, salvianolic acid B, can inhibit the foam cell formation of A7r5 cells. Furthermore, MM/YQHXF-NPs modulated the phenotype of smooth muscle cells, inhibiting the expression of genes such as Myh9, Icam-1, Vcam-1, Tnfrsf11b, Cd68, Lgals3, and Abca1, while promoting the expression of Myh11 and Smtn. Mechanistic studies revealed that MM/YQHXF-NPs exerted their effects by inhibiting the Kr\u00fcppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) and NF-\u03baB signaling pathways. In a high-fat diet, ApoE-/- mice model of AS, MM/YQHXF-NPs demonstrated significant therapeutic efficacy. H&E and Oil Red O staining revealed that MM/YQHXF-NPs mitigated pathological changes, reduced plaque size, and lowered serum TC, TG, LDL, and HDL levels. They also stabilized atherosclerotic plaques by increasing fiber area and promoting SM22\u03b1 and SM-MHC expression. Consistent with the results from cell-based experiments, MM/YQHXF-NPs effectively inhibited the transformation of arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs) into foam cells in vivo and suppressed the activation of KLF4 and NF-\u03baB signaling pathways. In summary, MM/YQHXF-NPs can effectively prevent the transformation of SMCs into foam cells by inhibiting the KLF4 and NF-\u03baB signaling pathways, thereby alleviating AS. These results provide a theoretical basis for MM/YQHXF-NPs as a potential therapeutic drug for AS.",

Increasing evidence from osteoimmunology demonstrates that immune regulation is not merely supportive but mechanistically determinative of regenerative outcomes. Dysregulated or persistent inflammation can impair osteogenesis, whereas timely immune resolution promotes angiogenesis and matrix deposition. In this context, nanotechnology has enabled the development of nanoparticles (NPs) that function not only as delivery vehicles but also as active modulators of the bone immune microenvironment. Immunomodulatory NPs can be engineered to deliver bioactive agents, regulate cytokine networks, and influence immune cell phenotypes, particularly macrophage polarization, at defined stages of healing. Through tailored surface chemistry, targeting ligands, and stimuli-responsive release mechanisms, NPs can achieve spatially localized and temporally controlled modulation of inflammatory and reparative phases, thereby enhancing osteogenesis and vascular integration. This review provides a comprehensive overview of organic, inorganic, and hybrid NP platforms applied to bone regeneration, with emphasis on their mechanisms of immune modulation, strategies for cell-specific targeting, and approaches for sequential regulation of inflammatory resolution and tissue repair. By integrating advances in materials science and immunology, NP-enabled platforms have the potential to transform bone regeneration from passive structural repair into precision immune-guided healing.",

In recent years, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as important mediators of intercellular communication and promising tools in oncology. EVs are membrane-bound vesicles released by most cell types and carry diverse biomolecules, including nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and metabolites derived from their parent cells. Their presence in biological fluids makes them attractive candidates for liquid biopsy applications and minimally invasive cancer diagnosis. In addition, EVs have gained considerable attention as therapeutic platforms due to their biocompatibility, stability, and ability to deliver functional cargo to recipient cells. Beyond mammalian EVs, plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) are increasingly being investigated as scalable and potentially safe nanocarriers for biomedical applications. This review summarizes current advances in the use of EVs for cancer diagnosis and therapy, with particular emphasis on their role as biomarkers, drug-delivery systems, and emerging therapeutic agents. Furthermore, the review discusses current challenges and future perspectives related to EV isolation, characterization, and clinical translation in oncology.",
"42511935": "ID: 42511935\nTitle: Immunomodulatory Empty/Hollow Nanoparticles as Potential Therapeutic Strategies for Septic Shock.\nAbstract: Septic shock is a life-threatening manifestation of sepsis characterized by dysregulated immune responses, excessive inflammation, oxidative stress, and progressive multi-organ dysfunction. Despite advances in antimicrobial therapy and supportive care, mortality remains high, highlighting the need for therapeutic strategies that target immune dysregulation in addition to infection control. The review evaluates the potential of hollow nanoparticles as immunomodulatory therapies for septic shock, focusing on lipid-based, polymeric, protein-based, biomimetic, inorganic, carbon-based, and hybrid nanoparticle platforms. Current evidence suggests that these systems can modulate key pathological processes through reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) scavenging, regulation of inflammatory signaling, macrophage modulation, neutralization of bacterial toxins and antigens, and, in some cases, direct antimicrobial activity. Among the available platforms, lipid-based and biomimetic nanoparticles appear to possess the greatest translational potential owing to their favorable immunomodulatory properties and improved biocompatibility. Nonetheless, several challenges continue to limit clinical translation, including nanoparticle-associated systemic and organ toxicity, unintended immunogenicity, limited long-term safety data, and the lack of standardized comparative studies across nanoparticle classes. Despite these limitations, the progression of VBI-S, a phospholipid nanoparticle formulation, to Phase III clinical evaluation highlights the growing clinical feasibility of such nanoparticle-based approaches for septic shock. Future research should focus on optimizing nanoparticle design, improving safety profiles, and establishing standardized preclinical and clinical evaluation frameworks. Collectively, the available evidence suggests that hollow nanoparticles represent a promising antibiotic-independent strategy for restoring immune homeostasis and improving outcomes in septic shock.",

Conventional wound dressings rarely address oxidative stress, dysregulated inflammation, bacterial infection, and local hyperglycemia simultaneously. Here, we developed a multifunctional nanoplatform consisting of tannic acid (TA)-complexed chitosan-polyethylenimine-phenylboronic acid (CPB-TA) nanoparticles embedded within a thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) [P(NIPAm-co-AAc)] hydrogel. CPB-TA nanoparticles exhibit dual cfDNA-scavenging and antioxidant activity, sequestering cfDNA through combined cationic binding and polyphenol interactions, and reducing ROS via complementary antioxidant mechanisms, thereby dampening inflammatory signaling and protecting reparative cells. The phenylboronic acid groups reversibly capture glucose through dynamic boronate ester bonds, helping to alleviate local hyperglycemia. The hydrogel matrix is designed to be responsive to body temperature, promoting localized delivery of CPB-TA at the wound site. In vitro, CPB-TA nanoparticles promoted macrophage polarization from M1 to M2, protected endothelial cells from oxidative damage, and exhibited antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. In vivo, topical application of CPB-TA@hydrogel accelerated wound closure, enhanced re-epithelialization, and increased collagen deposition in non-infected and S. aureus-infected diabetic mouse models. This multifunctional, mechanism-targeted strategy provides a rational, disease-relevant approach for treating chronic diabetic wounds.",

However, the inflammatory microenvironment that develops after injury poses a significant barrier to effective neural repair. Addressing this challenge requires the development of bioactive scaffolds with potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, as well as reduced implantation-induced damage. In this study, we created a novel composite biomaterial scaffold with high mechanical strength and excellent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capabilities by dispersing in situ self-assembled tea polyphenol-magnesium nanoparticles (TPs-Mg NPs) into gelatin methacryloyl hydrogel (GelMA) microneedle patches (TPs-Mg MN). Our results demonstrate that TPs-Mg MN effectively modulates the inflammatory response by promoting macrophage polarization through suppression of the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway, thereby alleviating reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated oxidative damage. Following implantation in a rat SCI model, TPs-Mg MN significantly enhanced motor functional recovery. Behavioral analyses revealed that this recovery was achieved through multiple mechanisms, including reduced oxidative stress, inflammation, and scar formation at the injury site, as well as enhanced angiogenesis and neurogenesis within the spinal cord tissue. This study presents a multifunctional combinatorial strategy for mitigating ROS-induced oxidative stress, offering broad potential applications in SCI and other central nervous system disorders.",

Persistent HPV infection leads to an inflammatory microenvironment that promotes epithelial dysplasia and immune evasion. Exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-exosomes) have emerged as promising immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory agents. This review examines current evidence on the interaction between HPV-induced inflammation and exosomal signaling, with a particular focus on the therapeutic potential of MSC-exosomes. We discuss their roles in immune regulation, miRNA delivery, suppression of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-\u03baB) signaling, and epithelial regeneration. This anti-inflammatory effect may also impair local immune surveillance, potentially enabling viral persistence and progression to malignancy. In this narrative review, We reviewed PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science articles published up to 2024 on MSC-exosome interactions with immune regulation in HPV-related diseases. Evidence suggests that while the anti-inflammatory effects of MSC-exosomes may help control HPV-associated inflammation, they can also impair local immune surveillance, potentially facilitating viral persistence and progression toward malignancy. This dual activity positions MSC-exosomes as a double-edged sword in the context of HPV pathogenesis. A deeper understanding of this paradox is essential for designing safer, context-specific MSC-based therapies that balance anti-inflammatory benefits with effective antiviral immune responses. Although direct studies on MSC-exosomes in HPV infections are limited, existing models suggest that they have the capacity to attenuate inflammation and restore cervical tissue homeostasis. This article also highlights knowledge gaps and future research directions necessary to develop MSC-exosome-based therapies for HPV-related cervical diseases.",
"42521411": "ID: 42521411\nTitle: In situ generation of proinflammatory CAR macrophages via mRNA-TLR agonist co-delivery for triple-negative breast cancer immunotherapy.\nAbstract: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) macrophage therapy shows significant potential for solid tumors owing to the intrinsic tumor infiltration and phagocytic capacity of macrophages. However, its clinical translation is limited by macrophage phenotypic plasticity within the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and the complexity of ex vivo cell manufacturing. It is essential to develop techniques that enable macrophages to be activated specifically by antigens while sustaining their proinflammatory activity in vivo. Here, we report a mannose-modified lipid nanoparticle (LNP) platform for the co-delivery of CAR-encoding messenger RNA (mRNA) and the Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7/8 agonist resiquimod (R848), enabling in situ generation of proinflammatory CAR macrophages. In vitro, we assessed macrophage-preferential uptake, CAR expression efficiency, TLR7/8 agonist-mediated macrophage polarization, and immune activation. In vivo efficacy was assessed in syngeneic and humanized mouse models of triple-negative breast cancer, including postoperative recurrence and lung metastasis models. Systemic administration of M-LNP/CAR+R848 induced robust CAR expression in tumor-associated macrophages and promoted sustained M1 polarization. Engineered macrophages exhibited enhanced antigen-specific phagocytic activity and tumor cell clearance, and promoted CD8+ T\u2009cell proliferation and NK cell infiltration, thus coordinating innate and adaptive immune responses. Functional macrophage depletion experiments demonstrated that tumor control was dependent on macrophages. In vivo treatment significantly reduced the growth of primary tumors, prevented postoperative recurrence, and prolonged survival in mice with lung metastases in both syngeneic and humanized models. Our findings demonstrate that M-LNPs enabling co-delivery of mRNA and an innate immune agonist enable in situ generation of proinflammatory CAR macrophages and induce durable antitumor immunity. This controllable and non-integrative strategy allows tunable immune activation, provides a flexible platform for CAR macrophage-based immunotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer.",
"42522197": "ID: 42522197\nTitle: Mechanosensitive ion channels in immunity from biophysics to mechanomedicine.\nAbstract: Immune cells operate within a dynamic mechanical environment. Shear stress, matrix stiffness, membrane tension, and cellular traction continuously shape their fate and function. Mechanosensitive ion channels (MSICs) are the convergent molecular transducers of these forces. Five families dominate immune mechanotransduction: Piezo, TRPV4, K2P/TREK, TMEM63/OSCA, and ENaC. Each converts mechanical input into Ca2+ and K+ fluxes that drive the transcriptional and effector programs governing immune cell behavior. Two organizing principles that have emerged from the past decade of work structure this review. First, MSICs act as mechanical immune checkpoints. Their gating state controls T-cell, NK-cell, and dendritic-cell function in stiff tumor stroma. This parallels the chemical checkpoints exploited by current immunotherapies. Second, MSICs display context-dependent functional polarity. The same channel produces opposite outputs depending on the magnitude, geometry, and time scale of the mechanical input. PIEZO1 has been reported to promote T-cell activation under physiological shear in some experimental settings but restrain cytotoxicity in stiff stroma in others. It drives a pro-inflammatory macrophage phenotype in atherosclerosis but a tissue-reparative phenotype in sepsis. It restrains ILC2s acutely but drives type-2 pathology chronically. We integrate these principles with the structural biophysics of MSIC gating, contrasting force-from-lipid and force-from-filament mechanisms. We then trace MSIC function across macrophages, microglia, T cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, neutrophils, B cells, and innate lymphoid cells. We connect this biology to the emerging mechanomedicine toolkit: sonogenetics, magnetogenetics, force-responsive nanoparticles, organ-on-chip platforms, and engineered cellular therapies. Together, mechanical immune checkpoints and context-dependent polarity reframe immunity as a force-programmable system. This view positions MSICs as translational substrates for next-generation immunotherapies in cancer, autoimmunity, fibrosis, and chronic inflammation.",
"42522687": "ID: 42522687\nTitle: Functional Engineered Exosomes Loaded with Nanoenzymes Targeting the Proteasome and Inflammation for the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis.\nAbstract: Mesenchymal stem cell -derived exosomes (MSCs-EXO) have been increasingly studied due to their high biosafety and excellent drug delivery properties. The use of MSCs-EXO as drug carriers for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been reported. However, conventional exosomes cannot target the damaged area, significantly reducing their therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, this study proposes a strategy for the rational design of exosomes derived from genetically engineered mesenchymal stem cells, enabling them to target the inflammatory storm in the affected limb, regulate the immune microenvironment, and release similar to superoxide dismutase (SOD-like) and similar to catalase (CAT-like) nanoparticles to eliminate Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species (RONS). RA provides a therapeutic platform for disease repair. MSC transduced with a lentivirus and carrying the anchoring peptide IL-4R\u03b1 secrete exosomes containing this peptide (IL-4.EXO), which demonstrates excellent targeting ability. These exosomes encapsulate Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB@IL-4.EXO), forming a synergistic composite exosome delivery system targeting inflammation sites, antioxidant stress, and promoting cartilage joint repair. Micro-CT shows a reduction in cartilage damage. Proteomics confirmed that it inhibits inflammation by affecting the proteasomal pathway through suppression of the PSMD4 protein. This exosome combines regulation of inflammation and antioxidant stress, offering a new therapeutic strategy for RA.",
"42523311": "ID: 42523311\nTitle: High-Density Wild-Type IL-2 Nanoparticles Preferentially Enhance CD8\u207a T-Cell Expansion and Reprogram the Tumor Microenvironment.\nAbstract: Low response rates to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in solid tumors are often driven by insufficient tumor-infiltrating CD8\u207a T cells and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Although interleukin-2 (IL-2) potently expands and activates CD8\u207a T cells, its clinical use is limited by rapid clearance, dose-limiting toxicity, and regulatory T cell (T reg ) stimulation. Engineered IL-2 variants have not yet achieved meaningful clinical efficacy. Here, polymer-modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles displaying dense, unmodified wild-type IL-2 on their surface (IL2-NP) are developed, conferring proteolytic stability and tumor retention. IL2-NP enables avidity-mediated CD8\u207a T cell binding and enhances proliferation and effector function without increased T reg binding or proliferation. Intratumoral IL2-NP expands CD8\u207a T cells, increases CD8\u207a/T reg ratios, and reprograms TME through dendritic cell activation and M1-like macrophage polarization. IL2-NP induces regression of both treated and untreated distant colorectal tumors in a CD8\u207a T cell-dependent manner. IL2-NP synergizes with ICIs and leads to complete tumor regression and immunological memory that protect against rechallenge. Treatment is well tolerated, with strong efficacy also observed in triple-negative breast and metastatic ovarian cancer models. Overall, intratumoral IL2-NP elicits robust systemic antitumor immunity, offering a promising strategy to enhance ICIs, cancer vaccines, and adoptive T-cell therapies. This work introduces a nanoparticle platform that overcomes major shortcomings of IL-2 immunotherapy by presenting wild-type IL-2 at high density on the nanoparticle surface, thereby increasing binding avidity to effector T cells. The resulting IL-2 nanoparticles enhance cytotoxic T cell expansion, reprogram the tumor microenvironment, and augment responses to immune checkpoint blockade to achieve robust ant-tumor immune response in mouse tumor models.",

Although toxicological research has mainly focused on the gastrointestinal tract, increasing evidence suggests that the highly vascularized bone marrow may also be a relevant site for MNP accumulation. This narrative review proposes a \"gut-immune-bone\" axis linking intestinal barrier disruption, systemic translocation, and potential deposition within the bone marrow niche. Current experimental evidence, together with limited human detection data, suggests that MNPs may disturb osteoimmunological homeostasis by impairing osteogenesis and promoting macrophage-associated osteoclastogenesis, thereby favoring bone remodeling imbalance. We summarize potential mechanisms, including oxidative stress, nuclear factor-\u03baB (NF-\u03baB) signaling, NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation, gut microbiota dysbiosis, endocrine disruption, and MNP-heavy metal co-exposure. We also discuss susceptible pediatric and geriatric populations and highlight the need to incorporate osteoimmunological endpoints into future MNP risk assessment.",

Current protocols for follow-on chemoradiotherapy have shown only modest efficacy in eliminating residual disease, leading to inevitable tumor recurrence. There remains a need for approaches to swiftly and effectively treat postoperative residual disease to prevent the rapid early progression of glioblastoma. Using syngeneic preclinical mouse models of glioblastoma resection, we identified spatially and temporally restricted windows of blood-brain barrier disruption localized to the resection margin during the immediate (0\u00a0hours) and early (48 to 72 hours) postoperative periods. Intravenous administration of fluorescently labeled, clinically used liposomal nanoparticles during these periods revealed selective accumulation at the postoperative resection margin, with minimal penetration into other regions of the brain with an intact blood-brain barrier. Immunohistological analysis confirmed nanoparticle extravasation in the margin parenchyma, largely interacting with microglial and macrophage populations closely associated with residual tumor cells. Exploiting this, we performed intravenous administration of doxorubicin-loaded liposomes coinciding with the peaks of postoperative blood-brain barrier disruption and demonstrated both enhanced chemotherapy delivery to the brain and, consequently, inhibition of tumor recurrence from a single administration across two glioblastoma models. Overall, this work identifies therapeutically exploitable windows of postoperative blood-brain barrier disruption and demonstrates that appropriately coordinated timing can enable clinically used liposomal nanomedicines to be repurposed for early postoperative therapy in aggressive brain tumors.",

Three-dimensional (3D) printing offers a feasible approach for fabricating scaffolds with tailored architectures. In this study, we engineered a series of 3D-printed composite scaffolds by sequentially incorporating tantalum nanoparticles (Ta) and strontium-doped hydroxyapatite (Sr-HA) into a polycaprolactone (PCL) matrix, creating four experimental groups: PCL, PCL/Ta, PCL/Ta/HA, and PCL/Ta/Sr-HA. The scaffolds were evaluated for physicochemical properties, rBMSC osteogenic responses, and macrophage marker expression. The PCL/Ta/Sr-HA composite improved rBMSC adhesion and osteogenic differentiation compared with PCL, PCL/Ta, and PCL/Ta/HA scaffolds. In macrophage-response assays, the PCL/Ta scaffold was associated with a more pro-inflammatory macrophage profile, whereas Sr-HA incorporation shifted the response toward an anti-inflammatory M2-like phenotype. In a rat cranial defect model, the PCL/Ta/Sr-HA scaffold was associated with greater bone regeneration at 4 weeks. A murine subcutaneous implantation model also indicated increased M2 macrophage presence around the PCL/Ta/Sr-HA implants. These effects may be related to the improved surface wettability, increased nanoscale roughness, and sustained Sr2\u207a release of the PCL/Ta/Sr-HA scaffold. These findings suggest that Sr-HA incorporation may improve the osteogenic performance of PCL/Ta scaffolds while shifting early macrophage responses toward a CD206-positive, M2-like profile.",

Composite PLGA-based scaffolds with the inclusion of 15% hydroxyapatite (HA) and \u03b2-tricalcium phosphate (\u03b2-TCP) nanoparticles, as well as scaffolds with the addition of 15% xenogeneic bone chips, and with different pore diameters were prepared by a solvent casting with particle leaching method. Synthesized HA and \u03b2-TCP nanoparticles were characterized using X-ray phase analysis and atomic force microscopy. The scaffold morphology was studied with electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The scaffold biocompatibility, immunogenicity, inflammatory and osteoinductive properties were investigated in vitro using dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), human lymphocyte culture, and RAW 264.7 mouse macrophage cells.
Among the investigated samples, the PLGA/ \u03b2-TCP scaffold showed the highest osteoinduction, and the scaffold with 530 \u00b1 56 \u03bcm average pore diameter demonstrated the highest expression of osteodifferentiation marker genes in DPSCs. Furthermore, the addition of nanoparticles into the polymer matrix led to the decrease in the expression of pro-inflammatory genes in macrophages. PLGA with 15 % \u03b2-TCP and 530 \u00b1 56 \u03bcm pore size had the best bioactivity among the tested scaffolds in vitro, and it could be considered as a potential candidate for bone tissue engineering applications.",

This structure acted as a physical barrier and hindered efficient drug delivery to lesional macrophages. An optimal strategy for balancing long circulation with effective penetration involved the use of size-tunable nanoformulations. Leveraging highly expressed cathepsin K (CTSK) in atherosclerotic plaques, this work reported CTSK-responsive, size-shrinkable nanoparticles (PDE@Mn3O4/SIM) by encapsulating trimanganese tetraoxide (Mn3O4) and simvastatin (SIM) within CTSK-cleavable block copolymers (PDE) to achieve controlled drug release and deep penetration within plaque sites. The resulting nanoparticles underwent rapid degradation and released smaller Mn3O4 nanozymes, facilitating penetration into plaque macrophages. In vitro, the nanoparticles reduced reactive oxygen species levels and enhanced cholesterol efflux in macrophages. More importantly, they prolonged blood circulation and selectively accumulated in atherosclerotic plaques with high enzyme expression. They also markedly decreased macrophage infiltration and lipid deposition in plaques of AS mouse models. Collectively, these findings indicated that nanoparticles with CTSK-responsive and size-regulating properties achieved deep plaque penetration and precise macrophage targeting, serving as an effective anti-atherosclerotic therapeutic strategy. HIGHLIGHTS: 1 Utilizing endogenously overexpressed cathepsin K in plaques as a biological stimulus could achieve precise and on-demand drug release. 2 By taking advantage of the size restriction imposed by fibrous caps, we designed microenvironment-adaptive and size-transformable nanoparticles for deep penetration. 3 Co-delivery of Mn3O4 nanozyme and SIM elicited synergistic antioxidative, antiinflammatory and lipid-modulating activities to combat atherosclerosis.",
"42530767": "ID: 42530767\nTitle: Clinical OCT computation-modeled prognosis of coronary plaque progression with validation by fusogenic macrophage nano-targeting.\nAbstract: Coronary plaque progression often deviates from the diagnostic range of clinical examinations, resulting in the need for emergent follow-ups and increased mortality among outlier patients. This study first analyzes clinical data of fractional flow reserve, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and computed tomography from 180 patients over a 9\u00a0years period, with an average follow-up of 2 years. When the plaque progression and healthy control groups were compared in a 1:1 match (n = 10 each), analysis of single artery images failed to detect plaque progression. Therefore, 100-200 image frames were used to reconstruct patient-specific coronary anatomy using computational fluid dynamics, enabling prognostic assessment of plaque progression. The results suggest that steep plaque slopes promote plaque progression by increasing shear stress and hemodynamic disturbance accompanied by greater macrophage recruitment than gentle slopes, which was validated by a microfluidic model. Moreover, increased activation and fusogenic potential of macrophages in steep plagues justified the development of fusogenic macrophage (FM)-vesicles to detect plaque progression. The fusion potential enables FM-vesicles to self-target fusogenic macrophages more efficiently than in vitro compared to macrophages, showing superiority over liposomes and macrophage-vesicles. The membrane fusion mechanism facilitates lysosomal escape, allowing prolonged cytosolic retention without degradation. Rabbit carotid ligation was used to produce steep and gentle plaques by controlling the incision direction. When gold nanoparticles were loaded into FM-vesicles and injected into these arteries ex vivo, OCT accurately imaged the plaque slope and detected changes in signal intensity. This study presents the translational potential of FM-vesicles for clinical application by reducing diagnostic outliers in the detection of plaque progression.",

Despite its importance, therapeutic strategies capable of addressing this multi-organ crosstalk remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate that bivalent functionalized curcumin-encapsulating PLGA nanoparticles (nGA2-CUR) combined with subcutaneous insulin beneficially modulate the GLK network in obese T2DM mice. This combination therapy successfully stabilized systemic glucose homeostasis and restored essential endocrine signaling (insulin, GLP-1, and GIP) while significantly suppressing pro-inflammatory markers (MCP-1, haptoglobin). Microbiome profiling revealed a suppression of pathobionts alongside distinct sex-specific restorative responses, where males exhibited Muribaculaceae enrichment while females showed Bifidobacterium expansion. Integrated liver metabolomics associated these microbial shifts with unique organ-specific repair responses in each sex. Males showed elevated levels of purine salvage pathway intermediates alongside suppression of a specific pathobiont cluster (including Lautropia and Porphyromonas) correlated with oxidative stress, whereas females replenished aromatic amino acids, consistent with reduced predicted microbial proteolytic potential and lower markers of nephrotoxic uremic toxin production. Molecular analysis confirmed the downregulation of glucose-sensitive pathways (Chrebp/Srebp-1c). These systemic improvements were accompanied by an anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage profile shift, alongside suppression of renal fibrosis via the TGF\u03b2/SMAD network and reduced injury markers (Cystatin C and Osteopontin). Our findings suggest that by reshaping the gut microbiome to alleviate upstream hepatic metabolic burden, this nanoparticle-enhanced therapy provides a sex-specific framework for attenuating irreversible diabetic renal injury.",

Energy metabolism and nitrosative stress represent two key metabolic pathways that can effectively guide the efficacy of the combination of TAM-targeted immunotherapy and starvation therapy. However, methods capable of simultaneously profiling of the dynamic interplay between energy metabolism and nitrosative stress during cancer starvation-immunotherapy (CSI) remains challenging. Here, we report a TAM-targeted dual-mode nanoprobe, NNDA, for real-time imaging of energy metabolism and M1-like TAM-mediated nitrosative stress during CSI. The nanoprobe was designed to comprise NAD(P)H-sensitive dye Glu-RB and NO-responsive dye CY-NO assembled on the surface of upconversion nanoparticles, showing excellent selectivity and sensitivity to energy metabolism-associated NAD(P)H and nitrosative stress-associated NO with two independent NIR photoacoustic (PA, 710/1064\u00a0nm) and upconversion luminescence (UCL, 660/800\u00a0nm) channels. In vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that NNDA accurately tracked metabolic reprogramming and TAM repolarization, revealing that CSI regimens sustain nitrosative stress under energy suppression. Importantly, the ratio R-PA1064/PA710 serves as an early prognostic indicator of treatment outcome, displaying strong correlation with tumor growth inhibition. This work provides a cross-referencing imaging tool for dynamically deciphering metabolic-immune crosstalk, facilitating the screening and optimization of synergistic anticancer therapies.",

However, the underlying spatial 3D genomic and epigenetic mechanisms driving this macrophage dysfunction remain largely unknown. To map the topological and transcriptional regulatory landscape, we integrated RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq), high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C), and chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) to comprehensively analyze control and HBeAg-stimulated macrophages. Key findings were cross-validated using human HBV-infected datasets. HBeAg robustly activated pro-inflammatory transcriptional programs, prominently featuring the TNF signaling pathway as a central node. Hi-C analysis revealed profound global 3D chromatin reorganization accompanying this phenotypic shift. Specifically, inactive-to-active (B-to-A) compartment switching, coupled with de novo H3K27ac enhancer accumulation, directly drove the upregulation of functional genes such as MET and FHOD3. Furthermore, topologically associating domain (TAD) restructuring, particularly TAD merging, exposed new regulatory elements to upregulate FLNB and SESN2. Conversely, the disruption of specific intrachromosomal loops resulted in the targeted downregulation of genes like KBTBD11 and BLVRB. Mechanistically, targeted epigenetic reprogramming drove this 3D structural rewiring: H3K27ac enhancer deposition was enriched for AP-1/STAT motifs, CTCF coordinated with FOX-family factors to alter structural boundaries, and HLTF mediated targeted H3K27me3-associated gene silencing. HBeAg orchestrates a highly coordinated hierarchical restructuring of the 3D genome and targeted epigenetic reprogramming to induce macrophage dysfunction. The identified structural variants and core spatial-target genes (such as MET, FLNB, and BLVRB) provide novel mechanistic insights and represent potential therapeutic targets for HBV-related liver diseases.",
"42535315": "ID: 42535315\nTitle: AIEgen-Based Biomimetic Nanoplatform for Targeted Synergistic Sonodynamic Therapy and Macrophage Reprogramming of Hyperhomocysteinemic Atherosclerosis.\nAbstract: The instability and subsequent rupture of atherosclerotic plaques are driven primarily by the progressive enlargement of the lipid-rich necrotic cores coupled with local macrophage dysfunction, which readily trigger life-threatening acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Homocysteine serves as an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. Here, we developed a synergistic nanotherapeutic strategy for hyperhomocysteinemic atherosclerosis (HHcy-AS) by simultaneously targeting foam cells and diseased macrophages. Specifically, an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) sonosensitizer TTPY-COOH was encapsulated into OPN antibody-modified polymer nanoparticles to form TP-Ab cores, which were then co-loaded with dexamethasone into ROS-responsive platelet membrane-liposome hybrid vesicles, yielding the final nanodrug TP-Ab/Dex@PL. Following intravenous injection, this nanoplatform utilizes platelet membranes to precisely target atherosclerotic plaques, where it rapidly disassembles within the high ROS environments. The released TP-Ab cores selectively deliver TTPY-COOH to foam cells via specific antibody recognition, where subsequent ultrasound-triggered sonodynamic therapy induces cellular apoptosis. Meanwhile, locally released dexamethasone exhibits a robust anti-inflammatory effect and reprograms M1 macrophages into the M2 phenotype, enhancing their efferocytosis for apoptotic foam cells. In an HHcy-AS mouse model, TP-Ab/Dex@PL treatment significantly reduced plaque burden and improved plaque stability. This multifunctional nanoplatform integrates sonodynamic therapy, anti-inflammatory effects, and macrophage reprogramming, offering\u00a0potential\u00a0for the precise clinical treatment of atherosclerosis.",
"42535940": "ID: 42535940\nTitle: Metabolic Reprogramming by Engineered Probiotics Potentiates Tumor Chemodynamic Immunotherapy.\nAbstract: Engineered bacteria hold promise for remodeling immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments through innate immunogenicity and localized therapeutic delivery. While bacterial-derived metabolites are increasingly recognized as key mediators, their specific roles in interkingdom crosstalk remain underexplored. Here, we develop a programmable probiotic platform leveraging Lactobacillus gasseri (LG)-tumor metabolic interplay to potentiate bladder cancer therapy. The selected LG strain demonstrates superior tumor-colonizing ability and intrinsic H2O2/lactate biosynthesis, creating an optimal tumor microenvironment for hemoglobin-modified MnOx nanoparticles to enhance chemodynamic therapy efficacy. Mechanistically, microbial metabolites, including L-leucine, orchestrate neutrophil phenotypic reprogramming by suppressing pro-angiogenic dcTRAIL-R1+ neutrophils while activating antigen-presenting CD74+ neutrophil populations. The engineered system elicites coordinated immunomodulation through multiple mechanisms: (1) promoting dendritic cell maturation, (2) increasing CD74+ neutrophil populations, (3) inducing macrophage polarization from M2 to M1 phenotypes, and (4) enhancing tumor infiltration of CD8+ T cells and natural killer cells. This study reveals that bacteria-tumor metabolic crosstalk upregulates beneficial metabolites, notably leucine, which promotes phenotypic reprogramming of neutrophils toward the antigen\u2011presenting CD74+ subset, thereby bridging innate metabolic regulation with adaptive antitumor immunity. This finding goes beyond the material-centric logic of previous probiotic-nanomaterial systems and establishes a metabolism-centric framework for bacteria\u2011mediated cancer immunotherapy.",
"42536443": "ID: 42536443\nTitle: Liver sinusoidal endothelium mediates systemic clearance of ultrasmall gold nanoparticles through secretion of circulating exosomes.\nAbstract: Liver sinusoidal endothelium featuring a unique discontinuous lining and robust endocytic activity is vital for nanoparticle retention, clearance, and translocation. However, liver sinusoidal endothelium-mediated nanoparticle elimination remains far less understood than liver macrophage uptake despite both processes being involved in hepatic detoxification. Using water-soluble Au25(o-MBA)18 (o-MBA: o-mercaptobenzoic acids) with optimized local hydrophobicity for weak protein-binding affinity and high endothelium targeting as probes, we report an exosome-mediated systemic clearance for endocytosed nanoclusters in sinusoidal endothelial cells. Au25(o-MBA)18 can effectively avoid phagocytosis by liver macrophage, are initially endocytosed by sinusoidal endothelial cells through clathrin-dependent endocytosis, processed through endosomal pathways, and released as exosomes containing nanoclusters into the bloodstream. During the exosome biogenesis, Au25(o-MBA)18 progressively transform into flower-like aggregates (approximately 100 nm). These circulating exosomes traverse the glomerular membrane through autophagy in glomerular endothelial cells and podocytes before urinary excretion. Here, this exosome-mediated pathway converts exogenous ultrasmall gold nanoparticles into biocompatible endogenous exosome-enveloped cargos for systemic circulation with reduced toxicity, providing a foundation for developing next generation of safe and effective nanomedicines.",
"42538939": "ID: 42538939\nTitle: Combination siRNA delivery as a therapeutic strategy for ADPKD.\nAbstract: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic kidney disease worldwide, characterized by progressive cyst growth and inflammation, yet effective targeted therapies remain limited. Here we show that TMEM16A and MCP-1, key mediators of cyst-lining epithelial expansion and inflammatory macrophage recruitment respectively, are consistently upregulated in cyst-lining collecting duct (CD) epithelia across murine, porcine, and human ADPKD models. In human ADPKD patient cells, although individual silencing of TMEM16A or MCP-1 transcripts reduced cyst growth, combined silencing produced superior therapeutic efficacy, establishing the rationale for evaluating dual-target delivery. To achieve dual gene silencing in the kidneys, we delivered Tmem16a and Mcp-1 siRNA using peptide amphiphile micelles (PAMs), an ultrasmall nanoparticle platform that enables efficient renal targeting. To redirect siRNA-loaded PAMs to CD epithelia, we functionalized their surface with a CD-targeting peptide (CDM), which enabled preferential accumulation in cyst-lining CD epithelia. In an inducible Pkd1-deficient mouse model, co-delivery of CDMs loaded with Tmem16a and Mcp-1 siRNA reduced kidney enlargement, cystic burden, tubular injury, and macrophage infiltration, with efficacy exceeding non-targeted siRNA delivery at equivalent doses. CDM demonstrated enhanced uptake in primary human ADPKD patient-derived CD cells and dual gene silencing reduced target gene expression and cyst expansion, establishing translational relevance. These findings establish CD peptide-functionalized micelles as a route to cell-type-selective RNAi in the kidney, delivering siRNA to cyst-lining CD cells. Furthermore, because both targets, TMEM16A and MCP-1, are transcribed within CD cells, our siRNA-loaded CD-targeting micelles silence two drivers of cyst expansion, and their simultaneous suppression represents an effective therapeutic strategy for ADPKD.",
"42544276": "ID: 42544276\nTitle: Magnolia biondii-Derived Exosome-Like Nanoparticles Ameliorate Ulcerative Colitis by Suppressing Inflammation, Reducing Oxidative Stress, and Modulating Gut Microbiota.\nAbstract: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory bowel disease with limited treatment options and suboptimal remission rates. Plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles have emerged as promising therapeutic agents due to their natural origin, biocompatibility, and capacity to deliver bioactive cargo. This study aimed to isolate exosome-like nanoparticles from the decoction of Magnolia biondii flower buds (Xinyi) (MFELNs) and evaluate their therapeutic potential in a murine model of UC. MFELNs were isolated from Xinyi decoction using differential centrifugation and ultracentrifugation. MFELNs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle size and potential analysis, and metabolomic profiling. The in vitro antioxidant activity was assessed by DPPH scavenging and intracellular ROS suppression assays. Anti-inflammatory effects were evaluated in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages by measuring cytokine expression and macrophage polarization via flow cytometry. The promotion of cell migration was assessed in NIH3T3 cells by scratch assay. UC was induced in C57BL/6 mice using dextran sodium sulfate (DSS), and MFELNs were orally administered daily for 14 days. Disease activity index, colon length, histopathology, colonic cytokine expression, and gut microbiota composition were evaluated. Bioinformatics analysis, molecular docking, and Western blot were performed to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. MFELNs exhibited typical exosome-like morphology with a size of 66.7 \u00b1 1.3 nm and a negative surface charge. Metabolomic profiling revealed enrichment in flavonoids, alkaloids, lignans, and phenolic acids. MFELNs demonstrated satisfactory biocompatibility and gastrointestinal stability. In vitro, MFELNs scavenged DPPH radicals, suppressed H2O2-induced ROS generation, downregulated LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-\u03b1, IL-1\u03b2, IL-6), restored IL-10 expression, and promoted macrophage polarization from M1 to M2 phenotype. In vivo, MFELNs attenuated DSS-induced body\u2011weight loss, reduced DAI scores, prevented colon shortening, and alleviated histopathological damage. MFELNs downregulated colonic pro-inflammatory cytokines and restored IL-10 expression. Gut microbiota analysis revealed that MFELNs restored the DSS-elevated Firmicutes/Bacteroidota ratio without significantly affecting \u03b1-diversity. Bioinformatics screening identified four potential bioactive components (sesamin, litsoeine/laurotetanine, demethylwedelolactone, and armepavine) that target SRC. Molecular docking demonstrated favorable binding between these components and SRC, while Western blot confirmed that MFELNs suppressed the SRC/NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. MFELNs represent a novel class of decoction-derived exosome-like nanoparticles that ameliorate UC through integrated anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and microbiota-modulating mechanisms. Their therapeutic effects are mediated, at least in part, through suppression of the SRC/NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. These findings position MFELNs as a promising natural nanotherapeutic strategy for UC and support the concept that self-assembled nanoparticles formed during herbal decoction constitute an important material basis for the efficacy of traditional Chinese herbals.",
"42544440": "ID: 42544440\nTitle: Mannose-modified tobacco mosaic virus-mediated macrophage regulation inhibits pulmonary fibrosis progression.\nAbstract: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic disease, causing irreversible lung scarring and respiratory failure. CD206+ M2 macrophages play a key role in its progression. In this study, we utilize the pro-inflammatory properties of plant viruses to develop a mannose-modified tobacco mosaic virus nanoparticle (TMV-OEG8-Man), which targets and reprograms profibrotic macrophages to inhibit IPF. TMV-OEG8-Man alters the CD206+ M2 macrophage phenotype in vitro, suppressing profibrotic genes (Mrc1, Spp1, Ccr2) and signaling pathways (MAPK, TGF-beta, PI3K-Akt, mTOR, Wnt), thereby reducing the transition of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts. When administered via aerosol, TMV-OEG8-Man achieves prolonged lung retention with minimal systemic exposure. In mice with bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, a single dose during fibroproliferation attenuated fibrosis progression, increasing survival rate from 50% to 100%, and preserving lung architecture. This study establishes plant viral nanoparticles as a macrophage reprogramming strategy with therapeutic potential for organ fibrosis.",
"42545436": "ID: 42545436\nTitle: Exosome-mediated siRNA delivery in cancer: Loading strategies, targeting approaches, and therapeutic outcomes.\nAbstract: Exosome-mediated delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment, offering precise gene silencing with minimal off-target effects. Exosomes, naturally secreted extracellular vesicles, provide biocompatible carriers that protect siRNA from enzymatic degradation and facilitate efficient uptake by tumor cells. Their natural tropism, driven by surface proteins such as integrins and tetraspanins, promotes cellular adhesion and interactions within the tumor microenvironment, facilitating the delivery of therapeutic cargo. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that exosome-delivered siRNAs can suppress oncogenes, inhibit tumor growth, reverse chemoresistance, and modulate immune responses by targeting stromal and immune components. Engineering approaches, including surface functionalization and hybrid exosome-nanoparticle systems, further enhance stability, payload capacity, and tumor-homing efficiency. Combination strategies with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or phototherapy have shown synergistic effects, allowing simultaneous inhibition of survival pathways, promotion of apoptosis, and remodeling of the immunosuppressive microenvironment. Early-phase clinical studies indicate safety, effective biodistribution, and functional gene silencing, highlighting the translational potential of exosome-mediated siRNA therapeutics. Challenges such as scalable production, cargo heterogeneity, and regulatory considerations remain, but ongoing advances in exosome engineering and patient-derived vesicles are poised to overcome these barriers. This review aims to comprehensively summarize the current state, therapeutic applications, and translational prospects of exosome-mediated siRNA delivery in cancer.",
"42547435": "ID: 42547435\nTitle: [Effects and mechanisms of cerium-myricetin nanosystem on wound healing in rats with full-thickness burns].\nAbstract: Objective: To investigate the effects and mechanisms of cerium-myricetin nanosystem (Ce-MYR) on wound healing in rats with full-thickness burns. Methods: This study was an experimental study with a grouped design and repeated measurement design. Ce-MYR was prepared by coordination self-assembly and characterized. Mouse RAW264.7 cells were divided into control group cultured normally, hydrogen peroxide group treated with hydrogen peroxide, and low Ce-MYR group, medium Ce-MYR group, and high Ce-MYR group which were first exposed to hydrogen peroxide and subsequently treated with Ce-MYR at final mass concentrations of 5, 10, and 20 \u03bcg/mL, respectively. After 24 h of culture, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were detected using the fluorescent probe method. Mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were divided into control group cultured normally, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group treated with LPS, and Ce-MYR group treated with LPS combined with Ce-MYR. After 24 h of culture, the percentages of CD86- and CD206-positive areas in cells were calculated after immunofluorescence staining. Additional mouse BMDMs were divided into the LPS group and the Ce-MYR group, as described above. After 24 h of culture, the protein expressions of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), arginase-1 (Arg-1), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) in cells were detected by Western blotting. The sample size in all the above experiments was 4. Ten 6-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were used to establish four full-thickness burn wounds on the back of each rat, which were divided into phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) group and Ce-MYR group according to the random number table method, with 5 rats in each group. PBS or Ce-MYR was subcutaneously injected at the wound margin at post-injury days 0 (immediately), 3, and 6, respectively. The percentages of residual wound area were calculated at post-injury days 3, 7, 14, and 21. At post-injury day 21, the wound tissue of rats was collected and the number of CD31-positive blood vessels was counted after immunohistochemical staining, the percentages of CD86- and CD206-positive areas were calculated after immunofluorescence staining, and the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1\u03b2, and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: After 24 h of culture, the ROS level in RAW264.7 cells in hydrogen peroxide group was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05); the ROS level in RAW264.7 cells in medium Ce-MYR group was significantly lower than that in low Ce-MYR group (P<0.05) and significantly higher than that in high Ce-MYR group (P<0.05). After 24 h of culture, the percentage of CD86-positive area in BMDMs in Ce-MYR group was significantly lower than that in LPS group (P<0.05) and significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05); the percentage of CD206-positive area in BMDMs in Ce-MYR group was significantly higher than that in control group and LPS group (with P values both <0.05). After 24 h of culture, compared with those in LPS group, the protein expressions of HO-1 and Arg-1 in BMDMs in Ce-MYR group were significantly increased (P<0.05), whereas the protein expressions of iNOS and NLRP3 were significantly decreased (P<0.05). At post-injury days 3, 7, 14, and 21, the percentages of residual wound area in rats in Ce-MYR group were (87.1\u00b12.4)%, (65.1\u00b12.2)%, (16.6\u00b11.9)%, and (0.5\u00b10.4)%, respectively, which were significantly lower than (101.5\u00b13.5)%, (79.9\u00b13.2)%, (36.2\u00b13.9)%, and (14.5\u00b11.9)% in PBS group (with t values of 7.604, 8.478, 10.193, and 16.166, respectively, P<0.05). At post-injury day 21, compared with those in PBS group, the number of CD31-positive blood vessels in wound tissue of rats in Ce-MYR group was significantly increased (t=3.395, P<0.05), the percentage of CD86-positive area was significantly decreased (t=4.474, P<0.05), the percentage of CD206-positive area was significantly increased (t=4.713, P<0.05), and the levels of IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, and TNF-\u03b1 were significantly decreased (with t values of 3.999, 5.040, and 6.023, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusions: Ce-MYR may promote wound healing by reducing ROS levels, enhancing HO-1-related antioxidant responses in macrophages, thereby facilitating macrophage polarization from the M1 phenotype toward the M2 phenotype and improving oxidative stress and inflammatory imbalance in rats with full-thickness burn wounds. \u76ee\u7684\uff1a

"42548959": "ID: 42548959\nTitle: Thermally Induced Reassembly of Ginger Extracellular Vesicles for Oral Therapy of Intestinal Inflammation.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles are promising candidates for oral drug delivery, yet their clinical translation is hindered by limited targeting precision and inconsistent systemic absorption. While surface engineering can enhance tissue accumulation, strategies that preserve biocompatibility and enable scalable production remain limited. Here, we introduce boiling as a simple thermal processing approach that structurally reconfigures ginger extracellular vesicles (GEVs) into functionally enhanced, thermally reassembled GEVs (T-GEVs). The surface architecture of T-GEVs is enriched with key vesicle trafficking regulators, including V-type proton adenosine triphosphatase subunit G, ARF1, and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein. This specific composition drives their tissue-specific accumulation in the intestine and liver and potentiates clathrin-dependent cellular uptake in intestinal cells by 8.57-fold. Beyond superior intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity through NLRP3 inflammasome suppression, T-GEVs function as an efficient oral delivery platform. When loaded with tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) small interfering RNA, they enable a synergistic therapy that combines innate anti-inflammatory activity with targeted gene silencing of TNF-\u03b1, showing potent efficacy in colitis. Our findings position boiling as a natural strategy for enhancing the bioactivity and targeted oral delivery potential of GEVs.",
"42549310": "ID: 42549310\nTitle: Freeze-Killed M2 Macrophage-Encapsulated MXene Nanocomposites for Multifunctional Photothermal Therapy in Diabetic Wound Healing.\nAbstract: Diabetic wound healing remains a significant clinical challenge because of persistent inflammation, excessive oxidative stress, and bacterial infection. This study aimed to develop a biomimetic nanocomposite with multifunctional properties of antioxidation, antibacterial activity, anti-inflammation, and pro-angiogenesis for photothermal synergistic repair of diabetic wounds. Freeze-killed M2 macrophages were used to encapsulate MXene nanoparticles to prepare a biomimetic composite material (abbreviated as MM). Its structural characteristics, protein retention, and photothermal performance were characterized and analyzed. The anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and pro-angiogenic abilities of the material were evaluated in vitro. A streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mouse wound model was established to systematically assess the effects of MM combined with near-infrared light (NIR) on wound healing, collagen deposition, and in vivo inflammation regulation. MM successfully preserved the cellular structure and functional proteins of M2 macrophages and exhibited excellent photothermal conversion performance. In vitro, it significantly inhibited pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, scavenged reactive oxygen species, efficiently eliminated Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and effectively promoted angiogenesis. In vivo experiments demonstrated that MM combined with NIR irradiation accelerated diabetic wound closure, enhanced collagen deposition, and induced macrophage polarization toward the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype, with favorable biocompatibility and no obvious toxicity at the experimental dose. Freeze-killed M2 macrophage-encapsulated MXene nanocomposites can synergistically modulate the three key pathological hallmarks of diabetic wounds: persistent inflammation, oxidative stress, and bacterial infection. Triggered by NIR, they exert potent reparative effects, offering a safe, multifunctional, and translationally promising therapeutic strategy for chronic diabetic wounds.",
"42549679": "ID: 42549679\nTitle: Plant-Derived Extracellular Vesicle-Like Nanoparticles and Decoction Nanoparticles Exhibit Distinct Therapeutic Effects in Alcoholic Liver Disease via Gut Homeostasis and Macrophage Regulation.\nAbstract: Nanoparticles originating from plants have attracted increasing attention owing to the excellent biocompatibility and high potential in disease prevention. Various types of plant-derived nanoparticles have been extensively studied; however, comparative investigations of different nanoparticles originating from the same plant remain limited. In this study, two types of Pueraria lobata-derived nanoparticles-extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (PLEVs) and decoction nanoparticles (DE-NPs)-were isolated, and their physicochemical properties and therapeutic activities were systematically compared. PLEVs exhibited superior resistance to digestion and showed extensive distribution to the liver, demonstrating an enhanced ability to overcome the intestinal barrier and reach the liver. In a mouse model of alcoholic liver disease (ALD), PLEVs were internalized by hepatic macrophages, promoting their polarization into anti-inflammatory M2 and scavenging intracellular reactive oxygen species. Although DE-NPs were digested by enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract, they also possessed beneficial effects by maintaining the intestinal barrier integrity and modulating gut microbiota balance. Overall, PLEVs exhibited a superior hepatoprotective effect, which was associated with the restoration of intestinal homeostasis and the attenuation of hepatic inflammation. These findings highlight the distinct delivery pathways and therapeutic mechanisms of the two Pueraria lobata-derived nanoparticles, addressing PLEVs as a promising natural nanomedicine for alleviating liver-related diseases.",
"42551162": "ID: 42551162\nTitle: Dual-wavelength-responsive GMMC-Pdots-Ag hydrogel for spatiotemporally controlled photothermal and hydrogen therapy of infected liver and skin defects.\nAbstract: An innovative dual-wavelength-responsive GMMC-Pdots-Ag hydrogel was fabricated for the treatment of polymicrobial-infected liver and skin defects. The hydrogel is based on a dynamic double-network architecture composed of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA), O-carboxymethyl chitosan (O-CMC), and 4-arm poly(ethylene glycol) benzaldehyde (4-arm-PEG-DF), co-loaded with PtOEP-doped T2-DPPT@NH2 polymer dots (Pdots) and L-histidine-stabilized silver nanoparticles (His-Ag NPs). Upon exposure to near-infrared (NIR) radiation at 808\u202fnm, the Pdots induce a localized photothermal effect (PTT). Combined with the weakly alkaline microenvironment and temperature increase, this effect triggers the controlled release of Ag\u207a. This dual response enables rapid antibacterial activity and biofilm eradication during the acute stage of inflammation. During the subsequent repair phase, 380\u202fnm near-ultraviolet (NUV) light activates the Pdots to catalytically produce hydrogen (H2). The generated H2 selectively scavenges cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially \u00b7OH and \u2022O2-, and inhibits M1 macrophage polarization through modulation of the NOD-associated MAPK and AP-1 signaling pathways. As a result, it exerts potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. H2 generation, together with the oxidation by-products, further promotes the release of Ag\u207a, creating a self-propagating therapeutic cycle. In vivo studies using skin and liver infection models demonstrated accelerated wound closure, reduced inflammatory infiltration, enhanced angiogenesis, and improved tissue regeneration. Biocompatibility and biosafety tests further validated the hydrogel's potential for biomedical applications. The concept of \"one material with three functions,\" integrating PTT, H2 therapy, and Ag\u207a-mediated antimicrobial activity, enables precise, stage-specific, and microenvironment-responsive intervention. This approach highlights the potential of the hydrogel as a platform for smart wound management and clinical translation.",
"42551163": "ID: 42551163\nTitle: A carrier-within-a-carrier system with calcium nanoparticles encapsulated in \u03b2-cyclodextrin-polysaccharide hydrogel for verteporfin delivery and radiosensitization in orthotopic osteosarcoma.\nAbstract: Osteosarcoma remains a clinical challenge due to its high invasiveness, early metastasis, and intrinsic radioresistance, which collectively limit the efficacy of conventional treatments and immunotherapy. Here, we developed a pH-responsive hydrogel reservoir, referred to as VP/CaNPs@Gel, by integrating verteporfin (VP)-loaded CaCO3 nanoparticles (CaNPs) into a \u03b2-cyclodextrin-crosslinked polysaccharide hydrogel to achieve precise radiosensitization and immunomodulation. The hydrogel undergoes rapid in-situ crosslinking to form a robust scaffold, ensuring the sustained and pH-triggered release of VP and Ca2+ within the tumor microenvironment. In vitro assays demonstrated that VP/CaNPs@Gel significantly amplifies radiation-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and triggers robust pyroptotic cell death. In an in vivo orthotopic osteosarcoma model, VP/CaNPs@Gel effectively suppressed tumor growth and markedly enhanced the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade under X-ray. Mechanistically, treatment induced PD-L1 upregulation, elevated systemic IL-1\u03b2, IL-18, and IFN-\u03b3 levels, promoted dendritic cell maturation and CD8+ T cell infiltration, increased M1 macrophage polarization, and reduced regulatory T cells and M2 macrophages. These shifts effectively converted the immunologically \"cold\" tumor into a \"hot\" state responsive to immune checkpoint inhibitors. This carrier-within-a-carrier strategy provides a multifunctional platform that couples potent radiosensitization with immunomodulation, offering a promising approach to overcoming radioresistance and improving therapeutic outcomes in osteosarcoma.",
"42559341": "ID: 42559341\nTitle: Reshaping immune cell distribution with mRNA noncationic lipid nanoparticles for overcoming neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy resistance.\nAbstract: Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) is associated with resistance to neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), but the underlying mechanism is unclear. We identified Fn-induced SPP1\u207a macrophages as key drivers of a cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF)-mediated spatial immune barrier that restricts CD8\u207a T-cell infiltration. Mannose-modified non-cationic thiourea lipid nanoparticles (NC-TNPM) were engineered to deliver Cas9 mRNA and SPP1-targeting sgRNA to macrophages. Their therapeutic efficacy was evaluated in Fn-associated ESCC models combined with chemotherapy and anti-PD-L1 treatment. NC-TNPM achieved efficient SPP1 silencing, markedly reduced SPP1\u207a macrophages, disrupted the macrophage-CAF immune barrier, and restored intratumoral CD8\u207a T-cell infiltration. Combined with chemo-immunotherapy, NC-TNPM significantly suppressed tumor growth, enhanced cytotoxic T-cell activity, promoted macrophage repolarization, and showed no evident toxicity. Fn-induced SPP1\u207a macrophages drive immune exclusion and chemo-immunotherapy resistance in ESCC. Macrophage-targeted SPP1 editing with NC-TNPM overcomes this barrier and enhances therapeutic efficacy, highlighting a promising nanomedicine strategy for ESCC.",
"42561801": "ID: 42561801\nTitle: Macrophage polarization-inducible cholesterol lipid-assisted nanoparticles prime systemic antitumor immunity.\nAbstract: Nanomaterials with intrinsic biological activity can directly participate in disease treatment, emerging as a pivotal focus in the development of next-generation therapeutics. In this study, we synthesized a library of cholesterol lipids bearing diverse tertiary amine head groups via a straightforward amidation reaction, then co-assembled them with amphiphilic polyethylene glycol-poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PEG-b-PLGA) to formulate hybrid nanomaterials. Notably, the cholesterol derivative A3-Chol-formulated nanomaterials (A3-Chol@NP) polarized macrophages toward the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype and enhanced phagocytosis of tumor cells. At the mechanistic level, A3-Chol@NP has been observed to preferentially interact with mitochondria in macrophages to produce mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS). This, in turn, activates ROS-NF-\u03baB-iNOS and ROS-IRF5-IL-23 pathways, which have been identified as key factors in the macrophage polarization to M1-type. In the B16-F10 mouse melanoma model, A3-Chol@NP efficiently suppressed tumor growth via macrophage-mediated immunotherapy and completely blocked tumor progression when combined with anti-PD-L1 antibody.",
"42564764": "ID: 42564764\nTitle: An infection-responsive multifunctional hydrogel enables potent activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and promotes wound healing.\nAbstract: Infected wounds remain a significant clinical challenge due to bacterial resistance and impaired healing. Therefore, developing effective antibacterial agents and precise delivery systems is crucial for rapid wound repair. To address this, we constructed zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles loaded with the host defense peptide-mimicking glycine-poly(2-oxazoline) (Gly-POX) and incorporated them into methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) to prepare the Gel-P@Z nanocomposite hydrogel. The hydrogel integrates the following core design elements: the pH-responsive degradation of ZIF-8 enables targeted drug release within the infected microenvironment; Gly-POX, mimicking the structure of host defense peptides, exerts membrane-disruptive antibacterial activity against MRSA, which possesses a negatively charged cell membrane, through its positively charged side chains; and the GelMA hydrogel provides a three-dimensional extracellular matrix-like scaffold that supports cell adhesion and proliferation. Gel-P@Z exhibited a slow and sustained release of Gly-POX and achieved >99% antibacterial efficacy against drug-resistant bacteria without toxicity. Moreover, Gel-P@Z promoted macrophage polarization from M1 to M2 phenotype and enhanced efferocytosis, while also facilitating fibroblast migration and inducing contraction in ex vivo fascia explants. In a murine full-thickness MRSA-infected wound model, Gel-P@Z effectively cleared bacteria, modulated the inflammatory microenvironment, and promoted both angiogenesis and collagen deposition. RNA-seq analysis revealed that Gel-P@Z accelerated healing via upregulation of the TGF-\u03b2 signaling pathway, driving fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition and promoting tissue fibrosis. This work not only proposes a novel strategy for antibacterial polymer delivery but also offers a promising solution for the management of infected wounds.",
"42567375": "ID: 42567375\nTitle: Ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles incorporated into hydrogel matrix for enhanced oral delivery of celastrol to alleviate ulcerative colitis.\nAbstract: Celastrol (Cel), a highly promising natural product isolated from traditional Chinese medicine, exhibits potent therapeutic efficacy against ulcerative colitis (UC). Nevertheless, its poor colon-targeting efficiency, insufficient capacity to penetrate the intestinal mucus layer, and low cellular internalization significantly compromise therapeutic outcomes in UC treatment. To address these critical limitations, herein we rationally designed a exosome-hydrogel hybrid system (Cel-GDNPs@Gel) by first encapsulating Cel into ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GDNPs), which were subsequently dispersed within a glycyrrhizic acid (GA) hydrogel matrix. Experimental studies confirmed that GDNPs were successfully isolated and characterized with uniform size distribution and round- or cup-shaped morphology, and Cel was successful encapsulated into GDNPs. The GA hydrogel endowed the system with excellent pH-sensitivity and robust mucoadhesive properties, thereby facilitating enhanced accumulation and prolonged retention at the colon site. Moreover, GDNPs promoted efficient mucus penetration and cellular uptake of Cel. Notably, both GDNPs and GA could exert synergistic therapeutic effects with Cel. Accordingly, in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that Cel-GDNPs@Gel significantly alleviated colitis symptoms, suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, attenuated oxidative stress, regulated macrophage polarization, promoted intestinal mucosal barrier repair, and restored intestinal homeostasis. Furthermore, this delivery system exhibited favorable biosafety with no obvious systemic toxicity. Collectively, this multifunctional Cel-GDNPs@Gel platform offers a safe and effective strategy for the oral treatment of UC.",
"42569466": "ID: 42569466\nTitle: Single-cell transcriptome-guided biomimetic magnetothermal hydrogel microspheres for multimodal eradication of residual glioblastoma.\nAbstract: Incomplete resection and rapid postoperative recurrence remain major challenges in glioblastoma (GBM) treatment. Inspired by the self-healing microduct architecture of pine resin, we developed an injectable magnetothermal-responsive hierarchical hydrogel microsphere platform, HGM\u00a0+\u00a0Multi(+), for spatiotemporally programmed magnetothermal ablation, anti-angiogenic blockade, and targeted chemotherapy. The system integrates T7-modified, pH-responsive temozolomide nanocarriers in GelMA microspheres with bevacizumab and Fe3O4 nanoparticles in a HAMA matrix, enabling rapid magnetothermal heating and sequential dual-drug release. Cellular and release studies demonstrated receptor-mediated uptake and tumor-microenvironment-responsive drug release. In orthotopic GBM resection models, a single intracavitary administration under alternating magnetic field markedly suppressed recurrence, reducing tumor volume to approximately 5% of controls and doubling median survival. In the immunocompetent postoperative GL261/C57BL/6J model, longitudinal IVIS, H&E-based tumor area quantification, and Kaplan-Meier analysis further confirmed reduced recurrent tumor burden and prolonged survival. Single-cell transcriptomic profiling of 47,781\u00a0cells revealed extensive tumor microenvironment remodeling, including macrophage polarization toward M1-like states, alleviated T cell exhaustion, enhanced cytotoxic programs, and an approximately 37% reduction in cancer stemness. These findings were further supported by ex vivo tumor-sphere assays and reduced Sox9/Nestin expression in recurrent tumors. Intercellular communication analysis indicated strengthened antigen-presentation signaling and intensified interactions between T cells and myeloid cells. Together, the integrated therapeutic, histological, and single-cell transcriptomic data support HGM\u00a0+\u00a0Multi(+) as a versatile postoperative strategy for eliminating residual GBM and advancing intelligent biomaterials for oncology.",
"42571415": "ID: 42571415\nTitle: Hyaluronic acid-engineered copper sulfide nanoparticles as immunomodulatory metal sulfide photothermal agents for macrophage-assisted osteosarcoma therapy.\nAbstract: Metal sulfide nanomaterials have emerged as promising photothermal agents for cancer therapy owing to their strong near-infrared absorption, favorable biocompatibility, and tunable surface chemistry. However, insufficient tumor accumulation and limited immunological activation remain major obstacles restricting their therapeutic efficacy in solid tumors. Herein, we report a macrophage-assisted delivery strategy based on hyaluronic acid-engineered copper sulfide nanoparticles (HA@CuS NPs) for enhanced photothermal-immunotherapy against osteosarcoma. In this system, adoptively transferred RAW264.7 macrophages were intravenously administered to increase macrophage enrichment within the osteosarcoma microenvironment, while HA@CuS NPs were rationally designed to target both tumor cells and tumor-associated macrophages through HA-mediated cellular recognition. The HA-coated CuS nanoparticles displayed good colloidal stability, efficient near-infrared photothermal conversion, and enhanced cellular uptake by osteosarcoma cells and macrophages. Importantly, macrophages acted as cellular reservoirs for CuS nanoparticles, promoting tumor accumulation and improving intratumoral photothermal distribution. Under 808-nm laser irradiation, the combined macrophage/HA@CuS treatment produced stronger tumor heating and more effective osteosarcoma ablation than HA@CuS nanoparticles alone. Beyond direct photothermal killing, HA@CuS nanoparticles also remodeled the tumor immune microenvironment by promoting M1-like polarization of tumor-associated macrophages, increasing IL-12p40 secretion, reducing IL-10 levels, and enhancing cytotoxic T lymphocyte infiltration. These immune-regulatory effects further amplified the antitumor response induced by photothermal therapy. Collectively, this study demonstrates that HA-engineered copper sulfide nanoparticles can function not only as metal sulfide photothermal agents but also as immunomodulatory nanomaterials. The integration of macrophage-assisted tumor delivery with CuS-based photothermal therapy provides a promising strategy for improving the therapeutic efficacy of metal-based nanomedicine against osteosarcoma."
