Drug target is a key in drug discovery. Although cells have over 30000 proteins, for particular cellular function only few of the proteins are critical. The biological role of the critical proteins could be described as “head goose effect”, and these molecules could be called “head goose molecules (HGMs)”. We assume that under the support from intra- or extra-cellular circumstances the HGMs could be regulated by drugs, then release instructive signals (for instance, protein modification) to other proteins. Through proper cooperation of the HGMs with other protein molecules the disease cell could be reprogrammed, yielding safe and therapeutic effects. Therefore, HGMs might be the best drug targets. Here, we show good HGM examples in energy metabolism, and drugs that target the metabolic HGMs are quite successful in clinic. We hope the thought interest for those working on drug target discovery.

From fat transplantation, bone disease, cartilage disease to skin repair, the clinical trails of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) involve many fields and have achieved beneficial results. Since fat SVF is a multi-cell heterogeneous group of cells, it can play a vital role in the field of regenerative medicine with effects on tissue repair, immune regulation, and angiogenesis promotion. Compared to traditional stem cell therapy, it can comprehensively and systematically repair damaged tissues. Fat SVF has shown beneficial results in cartilage repair and assisted transplantation, and has become one choice in the treatment of osteoarthritis and osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Compared with other cell therapies, fat SVF follows the principle of minimum operation in vitro and is safer. Currently, the main type of SVF used in clinical treatment is obtained by enzymatic digestion. The SVF obtained by this method consists of pure cell components, enhancing the performance of cells in their respective functions and conducive to quality control and supervision. This article reviews recent clinical cases involving fat SVF and discusses the route of administration, dosage, therapeutic effects, and etc. However, the problems such as relatively few cases available, the short observation period for safety assessment, and the lack of thorough research on its treatment mechanisms, need to be addressed before introducing SVF into clinical treatment.

Objective  To establish a reverse transcriptase activity assay for the detection of replication-competent lentivirus (RCL) and to validate the methodology.

Methods  The RNA of bacteriophage MS2 served as a template for reverse transcription, with specific amplification signals detected via TaqMan-based quantitative Real-time PCR (qPCR). Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase (M-MLVRT) was used as a standard for quantitative assay by plotting a standard curve. Methodological parameters, including specificity, dynamic range, precision, repeatability, intermediate precision, limit of quantification, limit of detection, robustness and applicability were validated.

Results  Through the optimization of primers, probe concentration, and reaction conditions, a stable and sensitive assay for reverse transcriptase activity was established, demonstrating high specificity and non-specific amplification across four types of cell supernatant samples. The assay exhibited a wide linear range from 10⁴ to 10⁹ pU/μL, with r² value higher than 0.99, and the amplification efficiency ranged from 93% to 97%. The accuracy (rate of recovery) fell between 86% and 102%, with repeatability (relative standard deviation, RSD) less than or equal to 6%. Intermediate precision and robustness RSD were less than or equal to 4% and 8%, respectively, and robustness recovery ranged from 89% to 105%. The limit of quantification (LOQ) and limit of detection (LOD) were determined as 8000 pU/μL and 100 pU/test, respectively. Reverse transcriptase activity was successfully detected in the terminal stage samples of three cell culture assay types - CAR-T cells, end of production cell (EOPC), and unprocessed bulk (UPB) - as well as their virus-infected samples. Notably, no activity was detected in the three sample types without virus infection, while the virus-infected spiked samples were successfully detected.

Conclusions  The reverse transcriptase activity-based RCL assay was successfully established, with all validation results meeting detection requirements. It is suitable for detecting terminal stage samples in cell culture assays, providing technical support for the safe application of gene therapy products.

Objective  To explore the therapeutic effect and possible regulatory mechanisms of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell transplantation in treating lung injury in newborn rats induced by high oxygen levels.

Methods  Mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from human umbilical cord and cultured in vitro. The cell phenotype was identified by flow cytometry. 36 newborn rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group, model group, and model + MSC treatment group. Except for the control group, the remaining two groups of rats were raised in a high-pressure oxygen chamber to establish a lung injury model. The control group was raised in indoor air. After 4 days of modeling, the model + MSC treatment group received cell injection, while the control group and model group received saline injection. 2 weeks later, the newborn rats were euthanized, and the wet/dry weight ratio of lung tissue in each group was measured. The pathological changes, vascular muscular changes, and microvascular density of lung tissue in each group were observed by tissue sectioning staining. The levels of ROS and MPO activity, MDA, IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α expression in the tissues of each group were also measured.

Results  Compared with the control group of newborn rats, the wet/dry weight ratio of lung tissues, ROS activity, MPO activity, MDA content, and expression levels of inflammatory factors IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α were all increased in the model group of neoborn rats, indicating successful modeling. Compared with the model group, the wet/dry weight ratio of lung tissues, ROS activity, MPO activity, MDA content, and expression levels of inflammatory factors IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α were all decreased in the model+MSC treatment group. Lung tissue edema and inflammatory cells infiltration were significantly better than those in the model group, and the degree of vascular muscularization was significantly reduced with a significant increase in microvascular density.

Conclusion  UC-MSC can significantly improve lung injury in newborn rats induced by high oxygen levels and have a certain reparative effect.

Objective  To investigate the anti-tumor effects of Erigeron breviscapus injection (EBI) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) both in vitro and in vivo, and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms related to the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.

Methods  Human HCC cell lines HCCLM3, Huh7, and HepG2 were cultured and treated with various concentrations of EBI. Cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 assay, while cell death was evaluated through Calcein AM/PI live/dead staining. The migration ability of the cells was determined using the Transwell migration assay. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the expression levels of mitochondrial apoptosis-related proteins, including Bcl-2, Bax, and caspase-3. An in vivo high-metastatic HCCLM3 subcutaneous xenograft model was established to compare tumor growth and liver metastasis between EBI-treated and control groups.

Results  The data from CCK-8 assays demonstrated that EBI inhibited the proliferation of HCCLM3, Huh7, and HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner, with IC₅₀ values of 81.41, 177.90, and 209.70 μg/mL, respectively. Live/dead staining results indicated that EBI promoted cell death in HCCLM3 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. EBI also significantly reduced the migration ability of HCC cells in a dose-dependent manner through Transwell migration assays. The results from Western blot analysis showed that EBI decreased the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, increased the expression of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax, and reduced the expression of the precursor of cleaved caspase-3, suggesting the activation of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Furthermore, EBI significantly inhibited the growth of HCCLM3 xenografts and reduced liver metastasis.

Conclusion  EBI exhibits significant anti-tumor effects on hepatocellular carcinoma both in vitro and in vivo. The underlying mechanism is likely through the activation of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. These findings support the potential of EBI as a novel therapeutic agent for HCC and provide a foundation for future clinical applications.

The limits of quantitation and detection of P were 3.073 × 10^-2 μg/mL and 1.014 × 10^-2 μg/mL, respectively. The limits of quantitation and detection of Sn were 9.850 × 10^-4 μg/mL and 3.251 × 10^-4 μg/mL, respectively. The recoveries of P and Sn were 101.0% and 100.3%, respectively, and the RSD were 5.35% (n = 9) and 4.68% (n = 9), respectively.

Conclusions  The ICP-MS method is simple and rapid. It can better meet the requirements for the determination of stannous chloride and the tetrofosmin in tetrofosmin and stannous chloride for injection.

Objective  To study the biodistribution of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells in normal C57BL/6J mice and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mice, a model of multiple sclerosis.

Methods  Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were labelled using the DiR near-infrared fluorescent dye labeling technique and infused back into normal C57BL/6J mice and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mice. Live imaging was performed to trace the stem cells at 2 h, 3 h, 1 d, 3 d, 5 d, 7 d, 10 d, and 14 d after administration of the stem cells. Mice were sacrificed after 14 d and tissue imaging of heart, liver, spleen, lung, brain, and spine (including spinal cord) was performed.

Results  After DiR-labelled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were given to mice by intravenous, the mesenchymal stem cells showed a tendency of increasing and then decreasing in vivo, reaching a peak at day2 innormal C57BL/6J mice and day1 indisease model mice. Fluorescent signals were undetectable at day10 innormal C57BL/6J mice, and still detectable at day10 indisease model mice, and undetectable at day 14. In the normal animals, the cells were not detected for day 10, and were still detectable for day14 inmodel mice. The results from tissue imaging studies showed that after a single tail vein administration of stem cells to normal C57BL/6J and disease model mice, the cells survived for at least 14 days in vivo, and concentrated in the lung, liver and spleen.

Conclusions  Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells survive for at least 14 days in normal C57BL/6J mice and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mice after intravenous administration, mainly homing to the lungs, liver and spleen, etc. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells may survive longer in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis disease mice, a model of multiple sclerosis, than in normal C57BL/6J animals. And human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells have a more pronounced splenic homing effect experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis disease mice.

Cancer has become one of the main causes of global human mortality, posing a significant threat to the lives and health of many patients. While radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the primary treatment modalities for most patients, they are often associated with limitations and serious side effects, highlighting the need for new strategies in cancer treatment. Antibody-based proteins have emerged as an important class of biological therapies, primarily due to the stability, specificity, and adaptability of the antibody framework. Antibodies possess inherent binding capabilities to antigens and endogenous immune receptors, leading to the development of various monoclonal antibody (mAb) derivatives such as bispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, and antibody fragments, which have shown efficacy in treating human diseases, particularly in oncology. Based on the structure and function of antibodies, this review focuses on the research and treatment status of monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugate and bispecific antibodies.

Objective  The goal of this study was to create dasatinib-loaded biomimetic exosomes and assess their properties and effectiveness in treating lung cancer.

Methods  Dasatinib-loaded biomimetic exosomes were prepared by merging exosomes derived from human lung cancer H460 cells with drug-loaded liposomes through membrane fusion and self-assembly. The particle size and zeta potential were measured using dynamic light scattering (DLS). The successful fusion of exosomes and liposomes was verified via Western blot and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay. Cellular uptake was quantitatively analyzed using fluorescent probe-based imaging. The

in vitro cytotoxicity was assessed by MTS assay, while in vivo tumor targeting, anti-tumor efficacy, and safety were evaluated in subcutaneous tumor-bearing mice through fluorescent imaging and pharmacological studies.

Results  The dasatinib-loaded biomimetic exosomes exhibited a particle size of (111.3 ± 0.1) nm and a zeta potential of (–30.1 ±

0.3) mV. Western blot confirmed the expression of exosomal markers (CD9, CD81, OXER1) on the biomimetic exosomes. The FRET assay revealed a membrane fusion index of 2.171 ± 0.044, indicating efficient fusion between exosomes and drug-loaded liposomes. Fluorescent imaging demonstrated significantly higher uptake of biomimetic exosomes by homologous lung cancer cells compared to liposomes (P < 0.05), with no significant difference observed in heterologous pancreatic cancer cells. The biomimetic exosomes exhibited markedly enhanced cytotoxicity in vitro compared to free dasatinib and liposomal formulations. In vivo studies demonstrated superior tumor accumulation (homing ability), a tumor inhibition rate of 75.0%, and no significant weight loss in mice during treatment.

Conclusion  Dasatinib-loaded biomimetic exosomes display potent anti-lung cancer activity with favorable safety profiles, suggesting their potential as a therapeutic option for non-small cell lung cancer.

Objective  To study the properties of hydrogels loaded with extracellular vesicles derived from human adipose mesenchymal stem cells and its role in healing of diabetic ulcer.

Methods  Poloxamer 407 and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose were used as excipients to prepare controlled-release, temperature-sensitive hydrogels loaded with extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human adipose mesenchymal stem cell (haMSC). The properties of the hydrogel were studied, and the wound area of db/db diabetic mice was smeared locally with hydrogels to explore the applicability and therapeutic effect on diabetic wounds.

Results  The extracellular vesicles were isolated from human allogenic adipose mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium, and the final concentration of Poloxamer 407 and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose was 20% and 0.5%, respectively. Hydrogels showed good thermosensitive properties, the gelling temperature was about26.0 ℃, and the gelling time was about 1 minute and 30 seconds. In addition, hydrogels showed proper strength and adhesion for clinical use. The results from in vitro release test showed that the cumulative amount of extracellular vesicles from hydrogels had a good linear relationship with time, and the gel showed good protective and controlled release effects of extracellular vesicles in uptake experiment. At the same time, the data from in vivo experiments showed that extracellular vesicle hydrogels significantly promoted the re-epithelialization of diabetic wound in db/db mice, alleviated the infiltration of dermal and subcutaneous inflammatory cells, improved the arrangement of collagen fibers, thereby promoted the healing of diabetic wound.

Conclusion  The thermosensitive hydrogels prepared by Poloxamer 407 and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose has a good protective and controlled release effect on haMSC-EVs, and can promote wound healing in diabetic mice.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a key gaseous signaling molecule involved in various human diseases, and real-time monitoring of its levels is crucial for understanding disease mechanisms. Fluorescent probes have become invaluable tools for detecting NO due to their high sensitivity, selectivity, temporal-spatial resolution, non-invasive nature, and convenience of operation. However, there are still many challenges in developing fluorescent probes that can be used for real-time quantification of NO with high selectivity, high sensitivity, low fluorescence background, and minimal cytotoxicity. This review provides a comprehensive overview of research progress of NO-responsive fluorescent probes in the past five years, classifying them by disease type, focusing on design strategies, NO response mechanisms, biological imaging applications, and real-time disease surveillance.
