Carrier-Free Nanoparticles Enhance Photothermal-Immune Therapy via Metabolic Reprogramming in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer. (PubMed, Adv Healthc Mater) - "Simultaneously, PF9366 disrupted methionine metabolism, further amplifying ICD and suppressing TNBC progression and metastasis. By integrating photothermal therapy with metabolic intervention, IR@PF-M NPs demonstrated superior antitumor efficacy and immunomodulatory activity, offering a promising therapeutic strategy for TNBC management."

Multiplex Methionine Modulating Hydrogel for Cancer Metabolic Therapy. (PubMed, Adv Mater) - "Small molecule inhibitors PF9366 and adenosine dialdehyde are encapsulated by tumor cell-targeting nanoparticles (NPs) to achieve a cascaded blockage of intracellular methionine metabolism. These NPs are further co-loaded with the extracellular methionine uptake inhibitor JPH203 into a type of reactive oxygen species-sensitive hydrogel, assembling the multiplex methionine modulating hydrogel (3 M Gel)...Moreover, remodeling of the tumor microenvironment by 3 M Gel overcomes immune checkpoint blockade resistance in TNBC. This study presents a localized triple regulation strategy and paves a new path for amino acid starvation-based cancer therapy."

MAT2A inhibition suppresses inflammation in Porphyromonas gingivalis-infected human gingival fibroblasts. (PubMed, J Oral Microbiol) - "HGFs werecultured and treated with P. gingivalis, with or without MAT2Ainhibitor (PF9366), small interference RNA (siRNA), or extrinsic SAMpretreatment...MAT2A-mediated methionine metabolism promoted P. gingivalis-inducedinflammation in hGFs. Targeting MAT2A may provide a novel therapeuticmethod for modulating periodontitis."

A role for protein arginine methyltransferase 7 in repetitive and mild traumatic brain injury. (PubMed, Neurochem Int) - "In addition, in vitro inhibition of the upstream mediator MAT2A using the HT22 hippocampal neuronal cell line suggest a mechanistic role for PRMT7 via MAT2A. Collectively, we have identified PRMT7 as a novel target in rmTBI pathology in vivo and a mechanistic link between PRMT7 and upstream mediator MAT2A in vitro."
