Atorvastatin-Driven Methuosis in Glioblastoma: A Biomimetic Nanodrug for Targeted Tumor Therapy. (PubMed, ACS Nano)
In vitro experiments confirmed the cytotoxicity and induction of methuosis in GBM cells by AP@CM-Ang, accompanied by the release of immune-stimulatory factors. In vivo experiments demonstrated that the nanodrug significantly enhanced tumor targeting, effectively inhibited tumor growth, and increased immune cell activation, validating its potential as a promising and safe strategy for GBM treatment.

Statins targeting mevalonate-geranylgeranyl diphosphate pathway inhibit proliferation in NK/T lymphoma by promoting pyroptosis. (PubMed, Transl Oncol)
A subcutaneous transplant tumor model was used to verify the inhibitory effect of fluvastatin (FLU) on NKTCL cells in vivo. Lastly, FLU and gemcitabine demonstrated satisfactory synergistic effects in tumor suppression and pyroptosis activation. Our data suggest that FLU represses NKTCL growth by promoting pyroptosis via the MVA-GGPP pathway.

Super-Resolution Microscopy Reveals Nanoscale Arrangement of PD-L1 Immune Checkpoint. (PubMed, Chem Biomed Imaging)
Further, treatments with drugs such as IFN-γ, 2-DG, and simvastatin modulate the density of PD-L1 without affecting its monomeric state...Finally, we observed that PD-L1 forms nanoclusters at cell-cell conjugation sites between breast cancer cells and T cells. Overall, these findings based on STORM extend our understanding of the nanoscale organization of PD-L1 on the membrane.

Experimental beneficial effect of rosuvastatin on burn wound healing in a rat model. (PubMed, World J Exp Med)
Rosuvastatin reduces inflammation by lowering TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, CRP while increasing neo-angiogenesis, fibroblast reactions and microenvironmental protection in burn wounds. These effects promote repair and positively impact burn wound healing.

Assembly Module-Empowering Lipid-Prodrug Nanoamplifier for Enhancing Ferroptosis-Driven Cancer Treatment. (PubMed, Nano Lett)
To address this limitation, we developed a lipid-prodrug nanoamplifier (SIM-SS-LA NAs), composed of disulfide-linked linoleic alcohol and simvastatin (SIM) to enhance ferroptosis...Notably, the released LA acts as an exogenous substrate, substantially increasing lipid peroxide accumulation and synergizing with SIM-mediated GPX4 inhibition to amplify ferroptosis. As expected, the lipid-prodrug nanoamplifier showed potent ferroptosis-driven antitumor activity in a 4T1 breast tumor-bearing mouse model, offering an efficient nanotherapeutic strategy for ferroptosis-based cancer therapy.
