Abstract
Digestive system cancers are prevalent diseases with a high mortality rate, posing a significant threat to public health and economic burden. The diagnosis and treatment of digestive system cancer confront conventional cancer problems, such as tumor heterogeneity and drug resistance. Single-cell sequencing (SCS) emerged at times required and has developed from single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) to the single-cell multi-omics era represented by single-cell spatial transcriptomics (ST). This article comprehensively reviews the advances of single-cell omics technology in the study of digestive system tumors. While analyzing and summarizing the research cases, vital details on the sequencing platform, sample information, sampling method, and key findings are provided. Meanwhile, we summarize the commonly used SCS platforms and their features, as well as the advantages of multi-omics technologies in combination. Finally, the development trends and prospects of the application of single-cell multi-omics technology in digestive system cancer research are prospected.

Int J Nanomedicine 2024; 19:5581-5603. [PMID: 38882543 PMCID: PMC11177867 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s460844] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Lenvatinib (LVN) is a potentially effective multiple-targeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for treating hepatocellular carcinoma, metastatic renal cell carcinoma and thyroid cancer. Nonetheless, poor pharmacokinetic properties including poor water solubility and rapid metabolic, complex tumor microenvironment, and drug resistance have impeded its satisfactory therapeutic efficacy. This article comprehensively reviews the uses of nanotechnology in LVN to improve antitumor effects. With the characteristic of high modifiability and loading capacity of the nano-drug delivery system, an active targeting approach, controllable drug release, and biomimetic strategies have been devised to deliver LVN to target tumors in sequence, compensating for the lack of passive targeting. The existing applications and advances of LVN in improving therapeutic efficacy include improving longer-term efficiency, achieving higher efficiency, combination therapy, tracking and diagnosing application and reducing toxicity. Therefore, using multiple strategies combined with photothermal, photodynamic, and immunoregulatory therapies potentially overcomes multi-drug resistance, regulates unfavorable tumor microenvironment, and yields higher synergistic antitumor effects. In brief, the nano-LVN delivery system has brought light to the war against cancer while at the same time improving the antitumor effect. More intelligent and multifunctional nanoparticles should be investigated and further converted into clinical applications in the future.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2310421.

Abstract
Vascular microenvironment is found to be closely related to immunotherapy efficacy. Identification and ultrasound imaging of the unique vascular characteristics, able to predict immune microenvironment, is important for immunotherapy decision-making. Herein, it is proved that high CD93 expression in the tumor vessels is closely related to the poor immune response of prostate cancer. For ultrasound molecular imaging of CD93, CD93-targeted microbubbles (MBs) consist a gaseous core and the MMRN2 (Multimerin-2) containing cell membrane (CM) /lipid hybrid membrane is then synthesized. In vitro and in vivo assays demonstrate that these MBs can recognize CD93 efficiently and then accumulate within tumor regions highly expressing CD93. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) imaging with CD93-targeted MBs demonstrates that targeted ultrasound intensity is negatively related to inflammatory tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and cytotoxic T cell infiltration. Together, endothelial expression of CD93 in tumor is a unique predictor of immunosuppressive microenvironment and CD93-targeted MBs have a great potential to evaluate tumor immune status.

A Lactate-Depleting metal organic framework-based nanocatalyst reinforces intratumoral T cell response to boost anti-PD1 immunotherapy. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 660:869-884.

Abstract
Infiltration and activation of intratumoral T lymphocytes are critical for immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Unfortunately, the low tumor immunogenicity and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) induced by tumor metabolic reprogramming cooperatively hinder the ICB efficacy. Herein, we engineered a lactate-depleting MOF-based catalytic nanoplatform (LOX@ZIF-8@MPN), encapsulating lactate oxidase (LOX) within zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) coupled with a coating of metal polyphenol network (MPN) to reinforce T cell response based on a "two birds with one stone" strategy. LOX could catalyze the degradation of the immunosuppressive lactate to promote vascular normalization, facilitating T cell infiltration. On the other hand, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) produced during lactate depletion can be transformed into anti-tumor hydroxyl radical (•OH) by the autocatalytic MPN-based Fenton nanosystem to trigger immunogenic cell death (ICD), which largely improved the tumor immunogenicity. The combination of ICD and vascular normalization presents a better synergistic immunopotentiation with anti-PD1, inducing robust anti-tumor immunity in primary tumors and recurrent malignancies. Collectively, our results demonstrate that the concurrent depletion of lactate to reverse the immunosuppressive TME and utilization of the by-product from lactate degradation via cascade catalysis promotes T cell response and thus improves the effectiveness of ICB therapy.

Abstract
Lenvatinib is a multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor capable of promoting apoptosis, suppressing angiogenesis, inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, and modulating the immune response. In multiple cancer types, lenvatinib has presented manageable safety and is currently approved as an effective first-line therapy. However, with the gradual increase in lenvatinib application, the inevitable progression of resistance to lenvatinib is becoming more prevalent. A series of recent researches have reported the mechanisms underlying the development of lenvatinib resistance in tumor therapy, which are related to the regulation of cell death or proliferation, histological transformation, metabolism, transport processes, and epigenetics. In this review, we aim to outline recent discoveries achieved in terms of the mechanisms and potential predictive biomarkers of lenvatinib resistance as well as to summarize untapped approaches available for improving the therapeutic efficacy of lenvatinib in patients with various types of cancers.
