    Augmenting Post-Surgical Tumor Immune Response and Recurrence Prevention via Nanoparticle-Assisted Targeted Drug Delivery (Exhibit Hall) -  Jul 24, 2024 - Abstract #IASLCWCLC2024IASLC_WCLC_1487;    
    Methods : FP/Vad@CC-aT2, a biomimetic nanoparticle system containing FePt and Vadimezan, was prepared via extrusion and conjugated with anti-Trem2 antibodies...Conclusions : The study developed FP/Vad@CC-aT2, a targeted delivery system with good biocompatibility and significant antitumor effects. It was found to promote immune remodeling, induce immunogenic cell death, and alter immune cell composition in post-surgical relapse mouse models, suggesting its potential in preventing postoperative relapse and providing a basis for clinical applications.

    Radiation and STING activation limit tumor development and modulate the immune environment via distinct mechanisms (Section 24; Poster Board #19) -  Mar 14, 2023 - Abstract #AACR2023AACR_8504;    
    In this study, we examined the effect of radiation and the STING agonist, DMXAA (Vadimezan), on the development of urethane-induced lung cancer.A/J mice were treated with urethane (i.p.) to induce the development of lung tumors...The different outcomes of RT and DMXAA on tumor growth may be driven by their distinctive mechanism of action on immune responses and capacities to form TLSs. These findings may have future implications for strategies for the early treatment of lung and other cancers, and they suggest that immune responses, including modulation of the STING pathway, may be an important aspect of early tumor development that could be targeted therapeutically.

    Journal, Checkpoint inhibition, Checkpoint block:  Nanodroplet-enhanced sonodynamic therapy potentiates immune checkpoint blockade for systemic suppression of triple-negative breast cancer. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 27, 2023   
    The synthesized nanodroplet consisted of a O-filled Perfluorohexane (PFH) core and a lipid membrane carrying sonosensitizer IR-780 and STING agonist Vadimezan (DMXAAs)...However, the hypoxic tumor microenvironment severely restricts the therapeutic efficiency of SDT, wherein, oxygen is indispensable in the process of ROS generation. Here, we report an O-filled nanodroplet-enhanced sonodynamic therapy that significantly potentiated immune checkpoint blockade for systemic suppression of TNBC.

    Review, Journal:  Flavonoid-Inspired Vascular Disrupting Agents: Exploring Flavone-8-Acetic Acid and Derivatives in the New Century. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 19, 2021   
    Consequently, in the last decade a renewal of interest for these flavonoid-based structures was noticed, and novel derivatives have been synthesised and evaluated for a deeper understanding of the molecular features needed for affecting human cells. Undoubtedly, these natural-derived molecules deserve further investigation and still appear attractive in an anticancer perspective.

    Journal:  A Highly-Efficient Type I Photosensitizer with Robust Vascular-Disruption Activity for Hypoxic-and-Metastatic Tumor Specific Photodynamic Therapy. (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 24, 2021   
    Simultaneously, the efficient ester-bond hydrolysis of BDPVDA in the acidic tumor microenvironment allows vadimezan release from PBV NPs to disrupt vasculature, facilitating the shut-down of metastatic pathways. As a result, PBV NPs will not only be powerful in resolving the paradox between traditional type II PDT and hypoxia, but also successfully prevent tumor metastasis after type I PDT treatment (no secondary-tumors found in 70 days and 100% survival rate), enabling enhancement of existing hypoxic-and-metastatic tumor treatment.

    Journal:  Disrupting tumour vasculature and recruitment of aPDL1-loaded platelets control tumour metastasis. (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 1, 2021   
    In situ activated platelets generate aPDL1-decorated platelet-derived microparticles (PMP) that diffuse within the tumour and elicit immune responses. The proposed combination increases 10-fold aPDL1 antibody accumulation in lung metastases as compared to the intravenous administration of the antibody and enhances the magnitude of immune responses leading to improved antitumour effects.

    Journal:  Hepatocellular Carcinoma Growth Retardation and PD-1 Blockade Therapy Potentiation with Synthetic High-density Lipoprotein. (Pubmed Central) -  May 19, 2020   
    Replacement of vadimezan with the chemotherapeutic mertansine potentiated ICD of HCC cells, but the drug interfered with DC maturation and subsequent CD8+ T cell priming, resulting in unsatisfactory disease control. Our work provides a generalizable nanoplatform for combined photothermal ablation and immunotherapy of HCC and highlights the importance of cancer cell-specific ICD induction and simultaneous DC activation during in situ vaccination.

    Journal:  Identification of α-Mangostin as A Potent Agonist of Human STING. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 18, 2019   
    The xanthone derivate 5',6'-dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA, also known as ASA404 or vadimezan) is a potent agonist of murine STING (stimulator of interferon genes), but cannot activate human STING...Furthermore, our studies show that α-Mangostin has the potential to repolarize human monocyte-derived M2 macrophages to M1 phenotype. The agonist effect of α-Mangostin in the STING pathway might account for its antitumor and antivirus bioactivities.

    Review, Journal:  An overview on Vadimezan (DMXAA), the vascular disrupting agent. (Pubmed Central) -  Jul 24, 2019   
    The reason for this surprising discrepancy, among others, was discovered to be STING receptor variations between mice and humans. In this review, the development, the mechanisms of DMXAA action, the clinical trials, the combination therapy, and the future of this drug will be discussed.

    Our study demonstrates that activation of the STING pathway holds the potential to initiate SS. Thus, apart from viral infections, conditions that cause cellular perturbations and accumulation of host DNA within the cytosol should also be considered as possible triggers for SS.
