Project description:Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a devastating disease characterised by late diagnosis, genetic neoplastic heterogeneity, poor T-cell infiltration, a highly immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment, and metastatic spreading which results in poor clinical outcomes. Surgery remains the most effective treatment, although it is limited to a few patients. Local ablative techniques, such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA), have been proposed to control PC progression in patients with nonresectable tumours. However, the impact of these therapies on promoting the activation of the immune system and eliciting an effective anti-tumour immune response remains elusive. Whether local ablative techniques could overcome resistance to immunotherapy in PC is unknown. We enrolled a cohort of patients with non-resectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer and longitudinally evaluated the impact of local thermal ablation on circulating immunological parameters. Additionally, we used cancer cell lines derived from PC transgenic mouse models to establish a preclinical platform that recapitulates systemic and localised inflammation induced by RFA in vivo. Finally, we employed this preclinical experimental platform to evaluate the efficacy of the therapeutic treatments. Thermal ablation induced a short-term inflammatory process resulting in a systemic increase in myeloid cells as well as increased plasma levels of high mobility group box 1 molecule, which correlates with a better patient outcome. We performed thermal ablative procedures in mice bearing orthotopic PC and evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of thermal treatment alone or in combination with immune checkpoint-based immunotherapy through activation of a T lymphocyte-dependent anti-tumour immune response. We demonstrated that RFA synergises with immunotherapy to restrict tumour progression, significantly improving the overall survival of PC-bearing mice. Tumour immune landscape characterisation confirmed that RFA in combination with immunotherapy supported the sculpting of an immune hostile milieu towards an effective anti-tumour milieu characterised by an increased infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes in spite of CD206-expressing tumour-associated macrophages. Our study confirmed that RFA enhances immunotherapy effectiveness by breaking tumour immune tolerance and unleashing the full cytotoxic abilities of tumour-specific T-cells. Thus, RFA can circumvent the current limitations of immunotherapy in patients with pancreatic cancer.

Project description:Thermal history plays a role in the response of corals to subsequent heat stress. Prior heat stress can have a profound impact on later thermal tolerance, but the mechanism for this plasticity is not clear. The understanding of gene expression changes behind physiological acclimatization is critical in forecasts of coral health in impending climate change scenarios. Acropora millepora fragments were preconditioned to sublethal bleaching threshold stress for a period of 10 days; this prestress conferred bleaching resistance in subsequent thermal challenge, in which non-preconditioned coral bleached. Using microarrays, we analyze the transcriptomes of the coral host, comparing the bleaching-resistant preconditioned treatment to non-preconditioned and control treatments.

Project description:Here, we investigate the genetic mechanisms that underlie thermal specialization of closely-related vibrios isolated from coastal water at the Beaufort Inlet (Beaufort, NC, USA). This location experiences large seasonal temperature fluctuations (annual range of ~20°C), and a clear seasonal shift in vibrio diversity has been observed (Yung et al. 2015). This previous study suggested that the mechanisms of thermal adaptation apparently differ based on evolutionary timescale: shifts in the temperature of maximal growth occur between deeply branching clades but the shape of the thermal performance curve changes on shorter time scales (Yung et al. 2015). The observed thermal specialization in vibrio populations over relatively short evolutionary time scales indicates that few genes or cellular processes may contribute to the differences in thermal performance between populations. In order to understand the molecular mechanisms that underlie adaptation to local thermal regimes in environmental vibrio populations, we employ genomic and transcriptomic approaches to examine transcriptomic changes that occur within strains grown at their thermal optima and under heat and cold stress. Moreover, we compare two closely-related strains with different laboratory thermal preferences to identify in situ evolutionary responses to different thermal environments in genome content and alleles as well as gene expression.

This experiment compared host gene expression of Acropora millepora across control, non-preconditioned, and preconditioned treatments. Fragments were sampled prior to preconditioning (Day 4), following 10 days of thermal preconditioning (Day 20), and after two (Day 23), four (Day 25), and eight days (Day 29) of 31M-BM-0C thermal challenge. The analysis implements 45 arrays, representing 5 sampling points of three treatments (n=3).

Project description:We introduce tissue Thermal Proteome Profiling (tissue-TPP) which enables the discovery of drug targets and off-targets as well as measurements of target occupancy in tissue samples derived from dosed animals. Here we report the first proteome-wide thermal stability map of tissues and organ-specific target profiles of the non-covalent histone deacetylase inhibitor, panobinostat. In addition, we devised blood-CETSA/TPP to monitor target and off-target engagement directly in whole blood.
