In vitro STING Activation with the cGAMP-STINGΔTM Signaling Complex

[Abstract]  Activating the STING (stimulator of interferon genes) signaling pathway via administration of STING agonist cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) has shown great promise in cancer immunotherapy. While state-of-the-art approaches have predominantly focused on the encapsulation of cGAMP into liposomes or polymersomes for cellular delivery, we discovered that the recombinant STING protein lacking the transmembrane domain (STINGΔTM) could be used as a functional carrier for cGAMP delivery and elicit type I IFN expression in STING-deficient cell lines. Using this approach, we generated anti-tumoral immunity in mouse melanoma and colon cancer models, providing a potential translatable platform for STING agonist-based immunotherapy. Here, we report the detailed in vitro STING activation ... [摘要]  [摘要]通过给予STING激动剂环状GMP-AMP(cGAMP)激活STING(干扰素基因的刺激物)信号通路已显示出在癌症免疫治疗中的广阔前景。尽管目前最先进的方法主要集中在将cGAMP封装进脂质体或聚合物小体中以进行细胞递送,但我们发现缺少跨膜结构域(STINGΔTM)的重组STING蛋白可以用作cGAMP递送的功能载体。在STING缺陷型细胞系中诱导I型IFN表达。使用这种方法,我们在小鼠黑素瘤和结肠癌模型中产生了抗肿瘤免疫力,为基于STING激动剂的免疫疗法提供了潜在的可翻译平台。在这里,我们报告与cGAMP-STINGΔTM复合物的详细体外STING激活方案,以帮助研究人员进一步开发这种方法。该协议还可以轻松扩展到与STING激活相关的其他应用程序,例如控制各种类型的感染。


[背景]在过去的二十年中,STING(干扰素基因的刺激物)信号传导途径已成为免疫系统的关键特征,并有望成为针对病毒和细菌感染,自身免疫性疾病和癌症的治疗靶标。因此,递送STING激动剂以增强免疫应答已经成为学术机构和制药公司的极大兴趣领域(Ohkuri等人,2017)。尽管现有的努力主要集中在开发合成运载工具上(Shae et ...

Efficient Transient Gene Knock-down in Tobacco Plants Using Carbon Nanocarriers

[Abstract]  Gene knock-down in plants is a useful approach to study genotype-phenotype relationships, render disease resistance to crops, and enable efficient biosynthesis of molecules in plants. Small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated gene silencing is one of the most common ways to achieve gene knock-down in plants. Traditionally, siRNA is delivered into intact plant cells by coding the siRNA sequences into DNA vectors, which are then delivered through viral and/or bacterial methods. In this protocol, we provide an alternative direct delivery method of siRNA molecules into intact plant cells for efficient transient gene knock-down in model tobacco plant, Nicotiana benthamiana, leaves. Our approach uses one dimensional carbon-based nanomaterials, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), to ... [摘要]  [摘要]植物基因敲低是研究基因型与表型关系,提高作物对病害的抵抗力以及实现植物分子高效生物合成的有用方法。小干扰RNA(siRNA)介导的基因沉默是在植物中实现基因敲低的最常见方法之一。传统上,通过将siRNA序列编码到DNA载体中,将siRNA传递到完整的植物细胞中,然后通过病毒和/或细菌方法传递。在这个协议中,我们提供的siRNA分子的替代直接递送方法为完整的植物细胞的高效瞬时根Ë击倒在模型的烟草植物,烟草本塞姆氏烟草,叶子。我们的方法使用一维碳基纳米材料,单壁碳纳米管(SWNTs)来传递siRNA,而不依赖于病毒/细菌的传递。我们方法的独特优势在于:i )不需要对siRNA序列进行DNA编码; ii)与非生物方法相比,这种非生物方法可在更广泛的植物物种中起作用,并且iii)使用非生物递送时,调节并发症更少方法,其中基因沉默是瞬时的,而无需对植物基因组进行永久性修饰。
