    Abstract: Cancer vaccines have shown promise as effective means of antitumor immunotherapy by inducing tumor antigen‐specific T cell immunity. In this study, a novel peptide‐based tumor nanovaccine that boosts antigen presentation and elicits effective antitumor immunity is developed. The adjuvant characteristics of an antimicrobial peptide‐derived core peptide, FK‐13, are investigated and used it to generate a fusion peptide named FK‐33 with tumor antigen epitopes. l ‐phenylalanine‐based poly(ester amide) (Phe‐PEA), 8p4, is also identified as a competent delivery vehicle for the fusion peptide FK‐33. Notably, the vaccination of 8p4 + FK‐33 nanoparticles (8FNs) in vivo induces dendritic cell activation in the lymph nodes and elicits robust tumor antigen‐specific CD8 + T cell response. The nanovaccine 8FNs demonstrate significant therapeutic and prophylactic efficacy against in situ tumor growth, effectively inhibit tumor metastasis, and significantly prolong the survival of tumor‐bearing mice. Moreover, 8FNs can incorporate different tumor antigens and exhibit a synergistic therapeutic effect with antiprogrammed cell death protein 1 (PD‐1) therapy. In summary, 8FNs represent a promising platform for personalized cancer vaccines and may serve as a potential combinational modality to improve current immunotherapy.

    Abstract: Smad4 , a key mediator of the transforming growth factor‐ β signaling, is mutated or deleted in 20% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cancers and significantly affects cancer development. However, the effect of Smad4 loss on the immunogenicity and tumor immune microenvironment of PDAC is still unclear. Here, a surprising function of Smad4 in suppressing mouse PDAC tumor immunogenicity is identified. Although Smad4 deletion in tumor cells enhances proliferation in vitro, the in vivo growth of Smad4 ‐deficient PDAC tumor is significantly inhibited on immunocompetent C57BL/6 (B6) mice, but not on immunodeficient mice or CD8 + cell‐depleted B6 mice. Mechanistically, Smad4 deficiency significantly increases tumor cell immunogenicity by promoting spontaneous DNA damage and stimulating STING‐mediated type I interferon signaling,which contributes to the activation of type 1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1) and subsequent CD8 + T cells for tumor control. Furthermore, retarded tumor growth of Smad4‐deficient PDAC cells on B6 mice is largely reversed when Sting is codeleted, or when the cells are implanted into interferon‐alpha receptor‐deficientmice or cDC1‐deficientmice. Accordingly, Smad4 deficiency promotes PDAC immunogenicity by inducing tumor‐intrinsic DNA damage‐elicited type I interferon signaling.

    Abstract: The high incidence of oxidative stress in sows during late gestation and lactation affects mammary gland health, milk yield, and milk quality. Recently, we found that supplementing maternal diets with 1% taurine improved antioxidant capability and enhanced growth performance in offspring; however, the mechanisms underlying these are unknown. This study aimed to investigate the cytoprotective effects and the mechanism of taurine in mitigating oxidative stress in porcine mammary epithelial cells (PMECs). PMECs were pretreated with 0–2.0 mM taurine for 12 h and then subjected to oxidative injury with 500 μM hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ). Pretreatment with taurine attenuated decreased cell viability, enhanced superoxide dismutase, and reduced the intracellular reactive oxygen species accumulation after H 2 O 2 exposure. Taurine also prevented H 2 O 2 ‐induced endoplasmic reticulum stress. Nuclear factor erythroid 2‐related factor 2 (Nrf2) was essential to the cytoprotective effects of taurine on PMECs, as Nrf2 knockdown significantly inhibited taurine‐induced cytoprotection against oxidative stress. Moreover, we confirmed that Nrf2 induction by taurine was mediated through the inactivation of the p38/MAPK pathway. Overall, taurine supplementation has beneficial effects on redox balance regulation and may protect against oxidative stress in lactating animals.

    Abstract: Milk fat is a major source of energy that determines the growth of neonates. Recently, studies have shown that valine is closely related to lipid metabolism. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the effects of dietary valine supplementation on milk fat synthesis using a pig model. Thirty gilts were allotted to low (LV, total valine:lysine = 0.63:1), medium (MV, total valine:lysine = 0.73:1), and high (HV, total valine:lysine = 0.93:1) valine feeding levels from Day 75 of gestation till farrowing. The results demonstrated that the concentration of milk fat at Days 1, 3, and 7 of lactation in the HV group was higher than that in the MV and LV groups. The HV group had an increased (p  〈  .05) proportion of total saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids than the other groups. Examination of mammary tissue proteomics in the HV and LV groups revealed 121 differentially expressed proteins (68 upregulated and 53 downregulated in the HV group). The upregulated proteins in the HV group were relevant to some crucial pathways related to milk fat synthesis, including fatty acid biosynthesis and metabolism, the AMPK signaling pathway, and oxidative phosphorylation. Furthermore, the key proteins involved in fatty acid synthesis (ACACA and FASN) were identified, and their expression levels were verified (p  〈  .05) using Western blotting. Our findings revealed that dietary valine supplementation improves milk fat synthesis by modulating the expression of fatty acid synthesis–related proteins in mammary tissues.
