Trim-Away in adult animals through Nano-ERASER and its application in cancer therapy
Open accessAbstract
Trim-Away is a versatile intracellular protein degradation pathway that has been extensively explored in vitro. However, the in vivo application of Trim-Away is limited at oocyte and zygote stages due to the lack of an in vivo practical approach for intracellular antibody delivery. To broaden the application of Trim-Away, especially for clinical use, we developed a nanogel-based Nano-ERASER system. Here, we demonstrated that the intracellular delivery of anti-programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibody through Nano-ERASER could effectively deplete PD-L1 in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells and induce cancer cell death. Furthermore, with the help of a tumor tissue-targeted nanogel, anti-PD-L1 antibody-loaded Nano-ERASER effectively inhibited tumor progression in a TNBC mouse model. These results confirmed that Nano-ERASER realized Trim-Away in adult animals for the first time, which could be an effective tool for disease treatment and studying gene/protein function both in vitro and in vivo.

Recently, our group developed a Nano-ERASER system that can downregulate a specific protein by intracellular delivery of its corresponding antibodies via proteasome-mediated degradation, achieving Trim-Away in adult animals and in a disease model for the first time.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
