Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic illustration of in vivo tumor immunotherapy enhanced by mRNA/HNPs through intravenous injection. H18 lipid, DOPE, cholesterol, DMG-PEG 2000 and mRNA were mixed to form mRNA/H 18 NPs with the special multilamellar concentric nanostructures. Following intravenous administration, mRNA/H 18 NPs demonstrated preferential adsorption of complement C3 proteins to form a characteristic protein corona, resulting in specific mRNA transfection in the spleen, especially in splenic dendritic cells. When encapsulating tumor antigen-encoding mRNA, the mRNA/H 18 NPs achieved precise transfection of the antigen mRNA in splenic dendritic cells. This targeted delivery stimulated dendritic cell maturation and subsequent antigen presentation, initiating robust T cell priming. The activated antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes then infiltrated into tumor tissues, ultimately inducing tumor cell elimination.

(F) Bioluminescence images of major organs and (G) Quantification of total bioluminescence flux in the spleen from C57BL/6J mice 6 h after intravenous injection of mLuc/H 18 NPs (mLuc dose of 0.25 mg kg −1 ). Mice were pre-treated with cobra venom factor (CVF) or PBS. (H) Fluorescence quantification of Cy5 mRNA delivered by uncoated or complement C3-coated Cy5-mRNA/H 18 NPs in BMDCs. BMDCs were pre-incubated with anti-CD11b (CR3) or anti-IgG blocking antibody. (I) Bioluminescence intensity of luciferase protein translated from mRNA delivered by uncoated or complement C3-coated mLuc/H 18 NPs in BMDCs. BMDCs were pre-incubated with anti-CD11b (CR3) or anti-IgG blocking antibody. Data were shown as mean ± SD (n = 3).

Article Title: A second generation of C3 humanized rats for preclinical evaluation of human C3 inhibitors

doi: 10.1016/j.bvth.2026.100138

Figure Lengend Snippet: C3 inhibitor AMY-101 inhibits the alternative but not classical pathway complement-mediated hemolysis in the second-generation hC3 rats in vitro. (A) The C3 inhibitor AMY-101 (0.3-20μM) was incubated with rabbit RBCs in the presence of 80% WT rat serum, or second-generation hC3 rat serum in Mg 2+ -EGTA buffer at 37°C for 30 minutes, then hemolysis was quantitated, showing that AMY-101 almost completely inhibited the second-generation hC3 rat alternative pathway-mediated hemolysis at a concentration as low as 2.5μM while did not affect the WT rat alternative pathway-mediated hemolysis at a concentration as high as 20μM. (B) The C3 inhibitor AMY-101 (0.3-10μM) were incubated with antibody-sensitized sheep RBCs in the presence of 10% second-generation hC3 rat serum in GVB ++ buffer at 37°C for 30 minutes, then hemolysis was quantitated, showing that AMY-101 did not have any effect on the second-generation hC3 rat classical pathway-mediated hemolysis at a concentration as high as 10μM. 2nd gen, second generation.

Article Snippet: In these assays, human and rat C3 proteins were detected using a complement C3 polyclonal antibody (MP Biomedicals, catalog no. 0855117) and a secondary anti-goat immunoglobulin G (IgG) (heavy chain+light chain [H+L]) polyclonal antibody (SouthernBiotech, catalog no. 6160-05).
