The harmful effects of antibiotics on aquatic environments have become a growing concern of modern society. Developing high-performance photocatalysts capable of degrading antibiotics under solar light is, therefore, crucial. In this study, TiO2-cuttlebone composites are prepared via the sol–gel method, to produce carbonate radicals (•CO3−) under solar light irradiation. The •CO3− radicals exhibit high selectivity for the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC). Compared to TiO2 alone, the TiO2-cuttlebone composite demonstrates excellent solar-driven photocatalytic activity for TC degradation in both freshwater and seawater. The reaction pathways of TC degradation in seawater are elucidated using HPLC-MS/MS analysis. Moreover, a TiO2-cuttlebone self-suspending photocatalyst device is fabricated using 3D printing technology and low-temperature deposition methods, with aluminum–plastic (AP) as a substrate. This innovative device is easily recyclable from photocatalytic solutions while maintaining high stability, making it highly desirable for practical applications.

Nutrient metabolisms are vitally interrelated to cancer progression and immunotherapy. However, the mechanisms by which nutrient metabolisms interact to remodel immune surveillance within the tumor microenvironment remain largely unexplored. Here it is demonstrated that methionine restriction inhibits the expression of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), a key regulator of cholesterol homeostasis and a potential target for cancer immunotherapy, in colorectal cancer (CRC) but not in the liver. Mechanistically, methionine is catabolized to S‐adenosylmethionine (SAM), promoting mRNA transcription of PCSK9 through increased DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1)‐mediated DNA methylation and suppression of sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) expression. Furthermore, both PCSK9 inhibition and dietary methionine restriction (DMR) potentiate PD‐1 blockade therapy and foster the infiltration of CD8+ T cells in Colon 26 tumor‐bearing mice—a proficient mismatch repair (pMMR)/microsatellite stable (MSS) CRC model that exhibits limited response to anti‐PD‐1 therapy. Moreover, combining 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU) chemotherapy with PCSK9 inhibition and PD‐1 blockade further augments therapeutic efficacy for MSS CRC. The findings establish a mechanistic link between amino acid metabolism and cholesterol metabolism within the tumor microenvironment where tumor cells sense methionine to regulate PCSK9 expression, highlighting promising combination therapeutic strategies that may greatly benefit MSS CRC patients. This study establishes a mechanistic link between amino acid metabolism and cholesterol metabolism within the tumor microenvironment. Mechanistically, methionine is catabolized to S‐adenosyl‐methionine (SAM) to promote the transcription of PCSK9, a key orchestrator of cholesterol metabolism, via DNMT1‐mediated DNA methylation and suppressing SIRT6 expression, leading to the ectopic elevation of PCSK9 in tumor and immunotherapy resistance.

Background Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) poses significant health risks for both mothers and children, contributing to long-term complications such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This study explores the potential of microRNAs (miRNAs) as biomarkers for GDM by analyzing peripheral blood samples from GDM patients. Method Ten samples, including peripheral blood from 5 GDM patients and 5 controls, were collected to perform the RNA sequencing analysis. Differentially expressed miRNAs were further validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results A total of 2287 miRNAs were identified, 229 of which showed differential expression. Validation by qRT-PCR confirmed significant up-regulation of miR-5193, miR-5003-3p, miR-3127-5p, novel-miR-96, miR-6734-5p, and miR-122-5p, while miR-10395-3p was down-regulated. Bioinformatics analyses revealed the involvement of these miRNAs in pathways associated with herpes simplex virus 1 infection. Conclusion This study provides insights into the differential expression of miRNAs in GDM patients and their potential roles in disease pathogenesis. It suggests that the differentially expressed miRNAs could serve as potential biomarkers for GDM, shedding light on the complex molecular mechanisms involved.

Mucin 16 (MUC16) participates in the process of embryo implantation, but few studies have examined the association between MUC16 and pregnancy loss. To investigate this association, the expression of MUC16 in serum and decidua was compared between women with pregnancy loss and ongoing pregnancies. In vitro experiments and animal models were used to explore the role and underlying mechanisms of MUC16 in pregnancy loss. In human study, the expression of MUC16 in serum and decidua was both consistently lower in the women with pregnancy loss compared with those in women with ongoing pregnancies. In vitro experiments revealed the interaction of MUC16 with peripheral blood natural killer (pNK) cells. MUC16 changed the phenotype and reduced the pro-inflammation ability of pNK cells. MUC16 also inhibited the cytotoxicity of pNK cells through the Src homology region 2 domain-containing phosphatase-1/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (SHP-ERK) pathway. Furthermore, MUC16 promoted the migration, invasion and tube formation of trophoblast cells by co-culturing together with pNK cells. In vivo experiments, the mouse model of abortion was used to further confirm that intraperitoneal administration of MUC16 could rescue the pregnancy loss. This study reveals the still-unknown connection between MUC16 and pNK cells and indicates that MUC16 provides a novel method for future prediction and treatment of unfavorable pregnancy outcomes. Graphical Abstract Representative cartoon illustrating the effects of MUC16. A. The direct effects of MUC16 were to shape the phenotype and decrease TNF-α secretion of pNK cells, while inhibiting their cytotoxicity through the SHP-ERK pathway. B . The indirect effects of MUC16 were to promote the tube formation and invasion, migration of extravillous trophoblast cells (EVTs) by co-culturing with pNK cells.

Metabolic regulation has been proven to play a critical role in T cell antitumor immunity. However, cholesterol metabolism as a key component of this regulation remains largely unexplored. Herein, we found that the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), which has been previously identified as a transporter for cholesterol, plays a pivotal role in regulating CD8 + T cell antitumor activity. Besides the involvement of cholesterol uptake which is mediated by LDLR in T cell priming and clonal expansion, we also found a non-canonical function of LDLR in CD8 + T cells: LDLR interacts with the T-cell receptor (TCR) complex and regulates TCR recycling and signaling, thus facilitating the effector function of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs). Furthermore, we found that the tumor microenvironment (TME) downregulates CD8 + T cell LDLR level and TCR signaling via tumor cell-derived proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) which binds to LDLR and prevents the recycling of LDLR and TCR to the plasma membrane thus inhibits the effector function of CTLs. Moreover, genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of PCSK9 in tumor cells can enhance the antitumor activity of CD8 + T cells by alleviating the suppressive effect on CD8 + T cells and consequently inhibit tumor progression. While previously established as a hypercholesterolemia target, this study highlights PCSK9/LDLR as a potential target for cancer immunotherapy as well.
