Pathogens 2024; 13:72. [PMID: 38251379 PMCID: PMC10820570 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens13010072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 12/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the effectiveness and safety of Myxoma virus (MYXV) in MM cell lines and primary myeloma cells obtained from patients with multiple myeloma. Myeloma cells were isolated from MM patients and cultured. MYXV, lenalidomide, and bortezomib were used in MM cells. The cytotoxicity assay was investigated using WST-1. Apoptosis was assessed through flow cytometry with Annexin V/PI staining and caspase-9 concentrations using ELISA. To explore MYXV entry into MM cells, monoclonal antibodies were used. Moreover, to explore the mechanisms of MYXV entry into MM cells, we examined the level of GFP-labeled MYXV within the cells after blocking with monoclonal antibodies targeting BCMA, CD20, CD28, CD33, CD38, CD56, CD86, CD117, CD138, CD200, and CD307 in MM cells. The study demonstrated the effects of treating Myxoma virus with lenalidomide and bortezomib. The treatment resulted in reduced cell viability and increased caspase-9 expression. Only low-dose CD86 blockade showed a significant difference in MYXV entry into MM cells. The virus caused an increase in the rate of apoptosis in the cells, regardless of whether it was administered alone or in combination with drugs. The groups with the presence of the virus showed higher rates of early apoptosis. The Virus, Virus + Bortezomib, and Virus + Lenalidomide groups had significantly higher rates of early apoptosis (p < 0.001). However, the measurements of late apoptosis and necrosis showed variability. The addition of MYXV resulted in a statistically significant increase in early apoptosis in both newly diagnosed and refractory MM patients. Our results highlight that patient-based therapy should also be considered for the effective management of MM.

Abstract
With the continuous in-depth study of the interaction mechanism between viruses and hosts, the virus has become a promising tool in cancer treatment. In fact, many oncolytic viruses with selectivity and effectiveness have been used in cancer therapy. Human enterovirus is one of the most convenient sources to generate oncolytic viruses, however, the high seroprevalence of some enteroviruses limits its application which urges to exploit more oncolytic enteroviruses. In this study, coxsackievirus B5/Faulkner (CV-B5/F) was screened for its potential oncolytic effect against non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) through inducing apoptosis and autophagy. For refractory NSCLCs, DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) or ataxia telangiectasia mutated protein (ATM) inhibitors can synergize with CV-B5/F to promote refractory cell death. Here, we showed that viral infection triggered endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related pro-apoptosis and autophagy signals, whereas repair for double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs) contributed to cell survival which can be antagonized by inhibitor-induced cell death, manifesting exacerbated DSBs, apoptosis, and autophagy. Mechanistically, PERK pathway was activated by the combination of CV-B5/F and inhibitor, and the irreversible ER stress-induced exacerbated cell death. Furthermore, the degradation of activated STING by ERphagy promoted viral replication. Meanwhile, no treatment-related deaths due to CV-B5/F and/or inhibitors occurred. Conclusively, our study identifies an oncolytic CV-B5/F and the synergistic effects of inhibitors of DNA-PK or ATM, which is a potential therapy for NSCLCs.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) has the third highest incidence and the second highest mortality in the world, which seriously affects human health, while current treatments methods for CRC, including systemic therapy, preoperative radiotherapy, and surgical local excision, still have poor survival rates for patients with metastatic disease, making it critical to develop new strategies for treating CRC. In this article, we found that the gut microbiota can modulate the signaling pathways of cancer cells through direct contact with tumor cells, generate inflammatory responses and oxidative stress through interactions between the innate and adaptive immune systems, and produce diverse metabolic combinations to trigger specific immune responses and promote the initiation of systemic type I interferon (IFN-I) and anti-viral immunity. In addition, oncolytic virus-mediated immunotherapy for regulating oncolytic virus can directly lyse tumor cells, induce the immune activity of the body, interact with interferon, inhibit the anti-viral effect of IFN-I, and enhance the anti-tumor effect of IFN-II. Interferon plays an important role in the anti-tumor process. We put forward that exploring the effects of intestinal flora and oncolytic virus on interferon to treat CRC is a promising therapeutic option.

Abstract
Dissection of exhaustion trajectories of immune cells under tumor selection pressure in the tumor microenvironment (TME) elucidates the underlying machinery in anti-tumor immunity, which still lacks easy-to-use models to decipher. Herein, gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)-poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) based 3D hydrogel microspheroids are constructed with non-immunogenicity and controllable macroporous structure to establish a tumor-immune cell coculture (3D-HyGTIC) system. In 3D-HyGTIC system, when immune cells embarked, stepwise up-regulation of main immune checkpoints (ICs) molecules is observed with compromised cytokine production in CD8+ T cells, the trajectory of which is in lineage correlation with in vivo grafted tumors. Reinvigoration of CD8+ T cells is more obvious with the addition of an anti-PD-1 regimen at the early time point, which is recapitulated during the coculture of patient-derived tumor fragments (PDTF) and autologous T cells. Moreover, the upregulation of LAG-3 on CD8+ T cells after anti-PD-1 treatment is uncovered. Sequential addition of anti-LAG-3 successfully rescues the otherwise failed reactivation of CD8+ T cells. Therefore, the 3D-HyGTIC system is not only inclined to mimic the early differentiation trajectories of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells but also may facilitate an evaluation of the efficacy of IC blockades and guide the designing of combination immunotherapy.

Abstract
Schistosomiasis is a devastating disease caused by parasitic flatworms of the genus Schistosoma. Praziquantel (PZQ), the current treatment of choice, is ineffective against immature worms and cannot prevent reinfection. The continued reliance on a single drug for treatment increases the risk of the development of PZQ-resistant parasites. Reports of PZQ insusceptibility lends urgency to the need for new therapeutics. Here, we report that Myxoma virus (MYXV), an oncolytic pox virus which is non-pathogenic in all mammals except leporids, infects and replicates in S. mansoni schistosomula, juveniles, and adult male and female worms. MYXV infection results in the shredding of the tegument and reduced egg production in vitro, identifying MYXV as the first viral pathogen of schistosomes. MYXV is currently in preclinical studies to manage multiple human cancers, supporting its use in human therapeutics. Our findings raise the exciting possibility that MYXV virus represents a novel and safe class of potential anthelmintic therapeutics.
