Project description:As an approach to improve efficacy and provide clinical benefit to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapeutic treatment regimens, Alchemia Oncology has developed a novel means for delivering anti-cancer agents to tumours. The drug delivery platform is based on the use of hyaluronic acid (HA), a novel excipient, in which, formulation with HA results in optimisation of cytotoxic drug uptake and retention within solid tumours. In the specific example of HA-Irinotecan, this new formulation of irinotecan has demonstrated enhanced efficacy in both nonclinical and early clinical studies.
The current study is an investigation into the use of HA-Irinotecan in a Phase II single arm trial of FOLF(HA)iri plus cetuximab in irinotecan-naïve second line patients with KRAS wild type metastatic colorectal cancer. The study objectives are to confirm the safety and efficacy of FOLF(HA)iri plus cetuximab as second-line therapy in irinotecan-naïve metastatic colorectal cancer patients.
It is expected that the study recruit approximately 40-50 patients in 1 year with subsequent treatment and follow up; thus the trial will run for approximately 2-3 years.

Project description:Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) in organ transplantation remains a significant problem with limited alternative therapeutic options. Organs that undergo significant damage during IRI, particularly those enduring long warm ischemia times, undergo significant delayed graft function (DGF) after reperfusion and tend to have greater complications long term with the onset of chronic rejection. The gas molecule carbon monoxide (CO) has emerged as an agent that can suppress IRI in rodent models of solid organ transplantation. Since the use of CO is a potential therapeutic modality in humans, we tested if CO can prevent DGF in a pig model of kidney transplantation Keywords: stress response, treatment response 18 Samples from pig kidneys, two naïve controls, two timepoints, two conditions, 4 replicates

Project description:The importance of CD4+ T helper (Th) cells is well appreciated in view of their essential role in the elicitation of antibody and cytotoxic T cell responses. However, the mechanisms that determine the selection of immunodominant epitopes within complex protein antigens remain elusive. Here, we used ex vivo stimulation of memory T cells and screening of naïve and memory T cell libraries, combined with T cell cloning and TCR sequencing, to dissect the human naïve and memory CD4+ T cell repertoire against the influenza pandemic H1 hemagglutinin (H1-HA). We found that naïve CD4+ T cells have a broad repertoire, being able to recognize naturally processed as well as cryptic peptides spanning the whole H1-HA sequence. In contrast, memory Th cells were primarily directed against just a few immunodominant peptides that were readily detected by mass spectrometry-based MHC-II peptidomics and predicted by structural accessibility analysis. Collectively, these findings reveal the presence of a broad repertoire of naïve T cells specific for cryptic H1-HA peptides, and demonstrate that antigen processing represents a major constraint determining immunodominance.

Project description:Following implantation, mouse epiblast cells transit from a naïve to a primed state in which they are competent for both somatic and primordial germ cell (PGC) specification. Using mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC) as an in vitro model to study the transcriptional regulatory principles orchestrating peri-implantation development, here we show that the transcription factor Foxd3 is necessary for the exit from naïve pluripotency and the progression to a primed pluripotent state. During this transition, Foxd3 acts as a repressor that dismantles a significant fraction of the naïve pluripotency expression program through the decommissioning of active enhancers associated with key naïve pluripotency and early germline genes. Subsequently, Foxd3 needs to be silenced in primed pluripotent cells to allow the reactivation of relevant genes required for proper PGC specification. Our findings uncover a wave of activation-deactivation of Foxd3 as a crucial step for the exit from naïve pluripotency and subsequent PGC specification. Genome-wide binding profiles for Foxd3 were investigated in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC). A mESC line (FH-Foxd3 mESC line) expressing exogenous Foxd3 tagged with Flag and HA epitope (FH-Foxd3) at nearly endogenous levels was generated. ChIPs were performed against FH-Foxd3 using anti-HA or anti-Flag antibodies.

Project description:Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that primarily affects the skin rich in hyaluronic acid（HA）. HA composes extracellular matrix in the dermis, which likely affects the development of CTCL but is poorly understood. Here, we show that low molecular weight HA (LMWHA) possibly exacerbates CTCL in mouse and human specimens, and bexarotene already being used in CTCL treatment can decrease HA production. Patients’ serum and skin sections showed higher HA expression than healthy controls. HA extracted from the skin of mice inoculated with tumors showed an increase in LMWHA. LMWHA increased lymphoma cell proliferation in vitro and accelerated tumor formation in mice in vivo. LMWHA also created a favorable environment for tumor cells by influencing fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells, and tumor-associated macrophages. Together, increased HA, mainly LMW aids in CLCL progression by affecting tumor cells and microenvironment. Next, bexarotene treatment reduced the amount of total HA in murine tumor-inoculated skin and the supernatant of cultured normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs) and HuT78 cells. Detailed in vitro assessments showed that bexarotene treatment decreased hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS) 1 and HAS2 expression in NHDFs and HAS1, HAS3, and CEMIP in HuT78. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay revealed bexarotene reduced retinoid X receptor-alpha binding to the HAS1 and HAS2 promoters in NHDFs. Bexarotene potentially exerts its anti-tumor effect by reducing HA through decreased expression of HA synthase. These findings provide us with new insights into the developmental process of CLCT and additional insight into bexarotene treatment.

Project description:An integrated transcriptome-wide gene expression analysis, including differential gene expression analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), was carried out based on transcriptomics data from a series of nine matched, histologically confirmed PCa and benign samples using the Affymetrix Clariom D Human array. The analysis identified a set of potential gene markers highly associated with tumor status (malignant vs. benign). We then used these genes to establish a minimal progression-free survival (PFS)-associated gene signature (GS) (PCBP1, PABPN1, PTPRF, DANCR, and MYC) using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and stepwise multivariate Cox regression analyses from The Cancer Genome Atlas prostate adenocarcinoma (TCGA-PRAD) dataset. Our signature was able to predict PFS over 1, 3, and 5 years in the TCGA-PRAD dataset, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.64–0.78, and our signature remained as a prognostic factor independent of age, Gleason score, and pathological T and N stages. A nomogram combining the signature and Gleason score demonstrated improved predictive capability for PFS (AUC: 0.71–0.85) and was superior to the Cambridge Prognostic Group (CPG) model alone and some conventionally used clinicopathological factors in predicting PFS. In conclusion, we have identified and validated a novel five-gene signature and established a nomogram that effectively predicted PFS in patients with PCa. These findings may improve current prognostic tools for PFS and contribute to clinical decision-making in PCa treatment.

Project description:Whether or not human Tregs are susceptible to exhaustion, and if so, if this would limit their therapeutic effect, was unknown. We studied how a tonic-signaling CAR, which induces Tconv exhaustion, affects human Tregs. We thus sorted naïve Tregs and naïve conventional CD4s and transduced them with a non-TS CAR (CD19) or a TS-CAR (HA).
