Project description:the genetic inactivation of Khk-C enhanced the survival of KPC-driven PDAC model even in absence of high fructose diet. Moreover Khk-C knock out decreased the viability of KPC organoids and cancer cells, the migratory capability of PDAC cells in vitro and the growth of KPC cells in vivo in a cell autonomous manner.

Project description:The spread of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is emerging as a significant clinical concern in tertiary hospitals and in particular, long-term care facilities with deficiencies in infection control. This study aims to evaluate an advanced matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (A-MALDI) method for the identification of carbapenemases and further discrimination of their subtypes in clinical isolates. The A-MALDI method was employed to detect CPE target proteins. Enhancements were made to improve detectability and mass accuracy through the optimization of MALDI-TOF settings and internal mass calibration. A total of 581 clinical isolates were analyzed, including 469 CPE isolates (388 KPC, 51 NDM, 40 OXA, and 2 GES) and 112 carbapenemase-negative isolates. Clinical evaluation of the A-MALDI demonstrated 100% accuracy and precision in identifying all the collected CPE isolates. Additionally, A-MALDI successfully discriminated individual carbapenemase subtypes (KPC-2 or KPC-3/4; OXA-48 or OXA-181 or OXA-232; GES-5 or GES-24) and also differentiated co-producing carbapenemase strains (KPC & NDM; KPC & OXA; KPC & GES; NDM & OXA), attributed to its high mass accuracy and simultaneous detection capability. A-MALDI is considered a valuable diagnostic tool for accurately identifying CPE and carbapenemase’s subtypes in clinical isolates. It may also aid in selecting appropriate antibiotics for each carbapenemase subtype. Ultimately, we expect that the A-MALDI method will contribute to preventing the spread of antibiotic resistance and improving human public health.

Project description:Chromosomal abnormalities are important causes of miscarriages. To delinate the chromosomal abnormalities in miscarriages, 564 miscarriages were collected and analyzed using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. 336 (59.6%) miscarriages were with abnormal copy number variations (CNVs), including 325 (57.6%) miscarriages with pathogenic CNVs and 11 (2%) miscarriages with variations of unknown significance (VOUS). The remaining 228 (40.4%) miscarriages had no clinically relevant chromosomal variants.

Project description:Background & Aims: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) are characterized by fibrosis and an abundance of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). We investigated strategies to disrupt interactions among CAFs, the immune system, and cancer cells, focusing on adhesion molecule cadherin 11 (CDH11), which has been associated with other fibrotic disorders and is expressed by activated fibroblasts. Methods: We compared levels of CDH11 mRNA in human pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer tissues and cells, compared with normal pancreas, and measured levels of CDH11 protein in human and mouse pancreatic lesions and normal tissues. We crossed p48-Cre;LSL-KrasG12D/+;LSL-Trp53R172H/+ (KPC) mice with CDH11-knockout mice and measured survival times of offspring. Pancreata were collected and analyzed by histology, immunohistochemistry, and (single-cell) RNA sequencing; RNA and proteins were identified by imaging mass cytometry. Some mice were given injections of PD1 antibody or gemcitabine and survival was monitored. Pancreatic cancer cells from KPC mice were subcutaneously injected into Cdh11+/+ and Cdh11–/– mice and tumor growth was monitored. Pancreatic cancer cells (mT3) from KPC mice (C57BL/6), were subcutaneously injected into Cdh11+/+ (C57BL/6J) mice and mice were given injections of antibody against CDH11, gemcitabine, or small molecule inhibitor of CDH11 (SD133) and tumor growth was monitored. Results: Levels of CDH11 mRNA and protein were significantly higher in CAFs than in pancreatic cancer epithelial cells, human or mouse pancreatic cancer cell lines, or immune cells. KPC/Cdh11+/– and KPC/Cdh11–/– mice survived significantly longer than KPC/Cdh11+/+ mice. Markers of stromal activation entirely surrounded pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias in KPC/Cdh11+/+ mice and incompletely in KPC/Cdh11+/– and KPC/Cdh11–/– mice, whose lesions also contained fewer FOXP3+ cells in the tumor center. Compared with pancreatic tumors in KPC/Cdh11+/+ mice, tumors of KPC/Cdh1+/– mice had increased markers of antigen processing and presentation; more lymphocytes and cytokines associated with lymphocyte infiltration; decreased extracellular matrix components; and reductions in markers and cytokines associated with immunosuppression. Administration of the PD1 antibody did not prolong survival of KPC mice with 0, 1, or 2 alleles of Cdh11. Gemcitabine extended survival only of KPC/Cdh11+/– and KPC/Cdh11–/– mice or reduced subcutaneous tumor growth in mT3 engrafted Cdh11+/+ mice given in combination with the CDH11 antibody. A small molecule inhibitor of CDH11 reduced growth of pre-established mT3 subcutaneous tumors only if T and B cells were present in mice. Conclusions: Knockout or inhibition of CDH11, which is expressed by CAFs in the pancreatic tumor stroma, reduces growth of pancreatic tumors, increases their response to gemcitabine, and significantly extends survival of mice. CDH11 promotes immunosuppression and extracellular matrix deposition, and might be developed as a therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer.
