ABSTRACT
Thymocyte antigen-1 (THY-1)is a potential target for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment, and THY-1 positive fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) are enriched in the synovium of RA patients and participate in angiogenesis to accelerate RA progression. In this study, we screened an antibody targeting THY-1 (THY-1 Ab) and explored its mechanism in alleviating RA progression. THY-1 Ab was screened from ScFv phage antibody library by phage display technology (PDT). THY-1 Ab-treated collagen induced arthritis (CIA) mice had lower degree of arthritis scores. We explore the mechanism of THY-1 Ab in alleviating RA progression. THY-1 Ab can remarkably inhibit the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors and promote the secretion of anti-inflammatory factors. Further experiments showed that THY1 Ab downregulated the expression of JUNB by the hsa_circ_0094342/miRNA-155-5P/SPI1 axis, inhibited RA angiogenesis and osteoclast differentiation, and relieved RA progression. These findings support that THY-1 Ab is a promising therapeutic antibody for RA treatment.

BACKGROUND: This study was aimed to prepare a novel magnetic thermosensitive cationic liposome drug carrier for the codelivery of Oxaliplatin (OXA) and antisense lncRNA of MDC1 (MDC1-AS) to Cervical cancer cells and evaluate the efficiency of this drug carrier and its antitumor effects on Cervical cancer. METHODS: Thermosensitive magnetic cationic liposomes were prepared using thin-film hydration method. The OXA and MDC1-AS vectors were loaded into the codelivery system, and the in vitro OXA thermosensitive release activity, efficiency of MDC1-AS regulating MDC1, in vitro cytotoxicity, and in vivo antitumor activity were determined. RESULTS: The codelivery system had desirable targeted delivery efficacy, OXA thermosensitive release, and MDC1-AS regulating MDC1. Codelivery of OXA and MDC1-AS enhanced the inhibition of cervical cancer cell growth in vitro and in vivo, compared with single drug delivery. CONCLUSION: The novel codelivery of OXA and MDC1-AS magnetic thermosensitive cationic liposome drug carrier can be applied in the combined chemotherapy and gene therapy for cervical cancer.
