Modifying PH of tissue to reverse immunosupression

Embodiments of the present invention include methods of targeting acidosis (low pH) within the tumor microenvironment (TME) through the use of cathodic electrochemical reactions (CER). Low pH is oncogenic by supporting immunosuppression. Electrochemical reactions create local pH effects when a current passes through an electrolytic substrate such as biological tissue. Electrolysis has been used with electroporation (destabilization of the lipid bilayer via an applied electric potential) to increase cell death areas. However, the regulated increase of pH through only the cathode electrode has been ignored as a possible method to alleviate TME acidosis, which could provide substantial immunotherapeutic benefits. Here, ex vivo modeling shows that CERs can intentionally elevate pH to an anti-tumor level and that increased alkalinity promotes activation of naïve macrophages. Embodiments of the invention include pairing CER treatment protocols with existing electric field-based cancer therapies or use as a stand-alone therapy.

This application relates to the fields of chemistry and biomedicine, specifically to a tofenamic acid lipid composition, its preparation method, and its application. A tofenamic acid derivative is obtained by reacting a morpholine solution with tofenamic acid, ethyldimethylaminopropylcarbodiimide, and 4-dimethylaminopyridine, followed by purification.

The tofenamic acid derivative is used to prepare tofenamic acid prodrug liposomes via ethanol injection, which are then used in combination with a STING agonist. The synergistic effect of the combined treatment stems from the dual regulation of the tumor immune microenvironment (TME), overcoming the immune escape induced by STING monotherapy. After STING agonist treatment, the intratumoral COX-2 / PGE2 axis is activated, leading to immunosuppression. The combination of tofenamic acid liposomes and a STING agonist inhibits COX-2, thus relieving this negative feedback loop.

Compositions and methods for diagnosis and treatment of microvascular dysfunction and related diseases

A pro-inflammatory and vasoconstrictor and endothelin-1 (ET-1) are pathogenic molecules related to a series of cardiovascular diseases. Unlike ET-1 signaling for vasoconstriction of the main artery, we have proven herein that coronary microvessels exhibit a unique signaling mechanism for constriction (independent of PKC, CPI-17, and intracellular calcium storage). The pathophysiological level of ET-1 acts preferentially on the microvessels to exert persistent vasoconstriction by activating Rho kinase upon binding to ETAR of the ET-1 receptor. The ETAR antagonist BQ123 only blocks but cannot reverse vasoconstriction against ET-1. In contrast, ROCK inhibitors (e.g., H-1152) are effective to reverse arteriolar systole against ET-1. Thus, ROCK inhibition is a potent and specific choice for the treatment of coronary ischemic disease (abnormal vasoconstriction) associated with microvascular dysfunction due to excessive production of ET-1. The ROCK inhibitors may also be used to treat microvascular diseases associated with diabetic retinopathy as well as microvascular dysfunction caused by cancer therapy or immunosuppressive drugs. Since H-1152 can also reduce the basal tension of microvessels, a ROCK inhibitor is also a good diagnostic agent when used during angiography or by a non-invasive method.
