Akkermansia muciniphila reduces neuroinflammation and Aβ deposition via tryptophan metabolism in the APP/PS1 mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. (PubMed, Alzheimers Res Ther)
At the same time, A. muciniphila administration improves cognitive deficits, alleviates neuroinflammation and Aβ deposition via AhR/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway in APP/PS1 mice. In summary, our findings suggest A. muciniphila is a promising approach for preventing AD progression by microbiota-gut-brain axis.

Metabolic Reprogramming and GM-CSF Secretion in Areca Nut-Activated Fibroblasts Drive Oral Precancer Progression. (PubMed, Oral Dis)
ANE promotes epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and GM-CSF secretion in fibroblasts, which activate EGFR signaling and malignant transformation of oral precancerous cells.

Uridine diphosphate drives myeloid differentiation and functional reprogramming through dynamic transcriptional network. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Our findings identify UDP as a potent immunomodulatory metabolite that restricts monocyte proliferation while promoting differentiation into dendritic-like cells with enhanced phagocytic capacity. UDP engages complex transcriptional programs that integrate innate activation with adaptive immune regulation, highlighting its potential role in immune homeostasis and inflammation control.

BRD4 orchestrates the metabolic-epigenetic regulation of GM-CSF expression and secretion to drive PD-L1⁺ macrophage-mediated immune evasion in triple-negative breast cancer. (PubMed, Oncogene)
Therapeutically, combined treatment with the BRD4 inhibitor JQ1 or the first bromodomain (BD1) selective inhibitor MS402 and an anti-GM-CSF antibody markedly suppressed TNBC progression and converted the tumor immune microenvironment from "cold" to "hot". In conclusion, our study reveals a previously unrecognized metabolic-epigenetic mechanism through which BRD4 drives GM-CSF-dependent TAMs activation and immune evasion in TNBC. Targeting BRD4 in combination with GM-CSF blockade represents a promising therapeutic strategy to overcome immune resistance in this aggressive breast cancer subtype.

Strategically engineering an oncolytic herpes simplex virus to improve systemic delivery. (PubMed, Mol Ther Oncol)
Despite the recent regulatory approvals of oncolytic viruses such as T-VEC (JS1/34.5-/47-/GM-CSF), Oncorine (H101), and Teserpaturev (G47Δ), the clinical impact of OV remains limited by its reliance on intratumoral administration. Preclinical studies demonstrate that FusOn-SD efficiently reaches tumor sites following systemic administration, exhibiting enhanced immune evasion and oncolytic potency. These findings position FusOn-SD as a promising candidate for advancing OV beyond localized injections, with the potential to transform virotherapy into a viable treatment for metastatic cancer.

Identification of functional murine mitochondrial formyl peptides and their effects on myeloid-derived suppressor cell generation. (PubMed, FEBS Open Bio)
Addition of mitochondrial formyl peptides resulted in a 5-10% increase in polymorphonuclear-MDSCs along with a corresponding decrease in monocyte-MDSCs. These results indicate that tumor-derived mitochondrial formyl peptides directly influence MDSC generation and corroborate findings from prior in vivo tumor transplantation models.

A phase II trial of naxitamab plus stepped-up dosing of GM-CSF for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma in second or later complete remission. (PubMed, Int J Cancer)
Naxitamb+GM-CSF is a good option to consolidate post-relapse CR of HR-NB. The encouraging long-term outcome cannot be attributed solely to naxitamab+GM-CSF given post-protocol therapies.

From Aortitis to Sweet's: The Immune Spectrum of G-CSF Adverse Events. (PubMed, Semin Arthritis Rheum)
Exogenous G-CSF can precipitate a coherent spectrum of immune-mediated toxicity with distinct, clinically actionable timing windows: vascular events peak 7-15 days after pegfilgrastim, whereas cutaneous, articular, and pulmonary manifestations arise within 2-7 days. Recognition hinges on temporal linkage, imaging/histology, and exclusion of mimics. Management is phenotype-aware-drug withdrawal ± short glucocorticoids, formulation switching for CPPD, and targeted IL-6 blockade in selected refractory aortitis-allowing preservation of hematologic benefits while minimizing immune toxicity. Prospective surveillance and structured re-exposure studies (including formulation tailoring) are priorities to move from signal detection to prevention.

CD55-displaying oncolytic vaccinia virus treated metastatic cancers by evading the effect of host innate and adaptive humoral responses. (PubMed, Mol Ther)
By circumventing both complement and antibody responses, SJ-650 significantly inhibited tumor growth in two metastasis models, inducing immunogenic cell death and reprogramming the tumor microenvironment. These findings support SJ-650's potential as a robust oncolytic platform with broad translational applicability.

Biosynthetic OMVs with endogenous GM-CSF loading for ultrasound-triggered in situ cancer vaccination. (PubMed, J Nanobiotechnology)
These endogenous danger signals, together with pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) intrinsically carried by OMVs, synergize with locally delivered GM-CSF to enhance DC recruitment, expansion, and maturation, ultimately facilitating efficient antigen presentation and priming of tumor-specific T-cell responses. This biosynthetic OMVs-based platform thus realizes spatially controlled GM-CSF delivery and self-adjuvanted in situ cancer vaccination, effectively remodeling the immunosuppressive TME and eliciting robust systemic antitumor immunity to overcome resistance to immunotherapy.

Melanoma vaccines: current R&D landscape, translational hurdles, and future outlook-a perspective drawn from 442 clinical trials. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Most trials focused on Stage III/IV patients (91.1%): key trials showed mRNA-4157 + pembrolizumab reduced recurrence/death risk by 49% in resected melanoma, and herpes simplex virus RP1 + nivolumab achieved 58.3% objective response rate (ORR) in ICI-resistant patients. However, challenges include tumor heterogeneity, immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), inefficient delivery, geographical R&D imbalance, and low Phase III conversion. Interdisciplinary collaboration, international multicenter trials, optimized clinical design (e.g., early-stage patient enrollment), and policy support are needed to advance their clinical translation.
