| 1 | Intranasal administration of a single dose of a candidate live attenuated vaccine derived from an NSP16-deficient SARS-CoV-2 strain confers sterilizing immunity in animals显示文摘Live attenuated vaccines might elicit mucosal and sterilizing immunity against SARS-CoV-2 that the existing mRNA,adenoviral vector and inactivated vaccines fail to induce.Here,we describe a candidate live attenuated vaccine strain of SARS-CoV-2 in which the NSP16 gene,which encodes 2′-O-methyltransferase,is catalytically disrupted by a point mutation.This virus,designated d16,was severely attenuated in hamsters and transgenic mice,causing only asymptomatic and nonpathogenic infection.A single dose of d16 administered intranasally resulted in sterilizing immunity in both the upper and lower respiratory tracts of hamsters,thus preventing viral spread in a contact-based transmission model.It also robustly stimulated humoral and cell-mediated immune responses,thus conferring full protection against lethal challenge with SARS-CoV-2 in a transgenic mouse model.The neutralizing antibodies elicited by d16 effectively cross-reacted with several SARS-CoV-2 variants.Secretory immunoglobulin A was detected in the blood and nasal wash of vaccinated mice.Our work provides proof-of-principle evidence for harnessing NSP16-deficient SARS-CoV-2 for the development of live attenuated vaccines and paves the way for further preclinical studies of d16 as a prototypic vaccine strain,to which new features might be introduced to improve safety,transmissibility,immunogenicity and efficacy. | Zi-Wei Ye Chon Phin Ong Kaiming Tang Yilan Fan Cuiting Luo Runhong Zhou Peng Luo Yun Cheng Victor Sebastien Gray Pui Wang Hin Chu Jasper Fuk-Woo Chan Kelvin Kai-Wang To Honglin Chen Zhiwei Chen Kwok-Yung Yuen Guang Sheng Ling Shuofeng Yuan Dong-Yan Jin | 2022 | Cellular & Molecular Immunology2022，19，5： | 0 |
| 2 | Photoactivatable nanogenerators of reactive species for cancer therapy显示文摘In recent years,reactive species-based cancer therapies have attracted tremendous attention due to their simplicity,controllability,and effectiveness.Herein,we overviewed the state-of-art advance for photo-controlled generation of highly reactive radical species with nanomaterials for cancer therapy.First,we summarized the most widely explored reactive species,such as singlet oxygen,superoxide radical anion(O2●-),nitric oxide(●NO),carbon monoxide,alkyl radicals,and their corresponding secondary reactive species generated by interaction with other biological molecules.Then,we discussed the generating mechanisms of these highly reactive species stimulated by light irradiation,followed by their anticancer effect,and the synergetic principles with other therapeutic modalities.This review might unveil the advantages of reactive species-based therapeutic methodology and encourage the pre-clinical exploration of reactive species-mediated cancer treatments. | Xiaohua Zheng Yilan Jin Xiao Liu Tianqing Liu Weiqi Wang Haijun Yu | 2021 | Bioactive Materials2021，6，12： | 0 |
