Previously, we reported that incorporation of another immunomodulatory peptide, GF9, that employs the SCHOOL mechanisms of action and targets triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM-1), into synthetic HDL-like nanoparticles of spherical shape (sHDL) significantly reduces the effective therapeutic dosage of GF9 in animal models of sepsis, lung cancer, and RA33,34. The gene discussed is TREM1; the disease is lung carcinoma.
