Project description:Covalent Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) have transformed the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL), including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), but their activity has been limited by off-target toxicity and acquired drug resistance. TG-1701 is a novel irreversible and highly specific BTKi being presently under study in a phase 1 clinical trial in patients with relapsed/refractory B-NHL alone and in combination with ublituximab, a CD20 antibody, and umbralisib, a dual PI3Kδ and CK1ε inhibitor. Here we show, for the first time that phosphoproteomic analysis of CLL patients receiving a BTKi (TG-1701) led to a non-supervised clustering that matched the clinical outcomes and separated a group of “responders” from a group of “non-responders”. This clustering was based on a selected list of 96 phosphosites, with Ikaros-Ser442/445 phosphorylation as a potential marker for TG-1701 efficacy. RNA-seq analysis followed by qPCR and western blot validation further revealed that TG-1701 treatment blunted the Ikaros gene signature only in responder patients, as well as in BTKi-sensitive, but not BTKi-insensitive, B-NHL cell lines and xenografts. Importantly, and in contrast with ibrutinib, TG-1701 did not impair FcγR-driven antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and phagocytosis (ADCP) triggered by the anti-CD20 antibodies rituximab and ublituximab in a multicellular MCL co-culture system. In addition, TG-1701 cooperated with ublituximab coupled to umbralisib (also referred as the U2 regimen) in reducing the tumor growth in both ibrutinib-sensitive and ibrutinib-insensitive mouse models of MCL. Altogether, these data validate phosphoproteomic as a broken thread to omics analysis in the clinic and support the use of TG-1701-U2 combination in R/R B-NHL patients, irrespective of prior response to ibrutinib.
Project description:We sequenced and analyzed the genome of a highly inbred miniature Chinese pig strain, the Banna Minipig Inbred Line (BMI). we conducted whole genome screening using next generation sequencing (NGS) technology and performed SNP calling using Sus Scrofa genome assembly Sscrofa11.1.
Project description:This is a two-arm, randomized, double-blinded, multicenter phase II/III clinical study to evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of SHR-1701 or placebo in combination with BP102 (biosimilar to bevacizumab) and XELOX in first-line treatment of patients with mCRC.
Project description:Leishmania donovani WHO reference strain MHOM/IN/80/DD8 and Leptomonas seymouri isolates Ld 2001 and Ld39 were used for proteome analysis which were originally isolated from clinical cases of kala azar patients with different inherent antimonial sensitivities. Ld 2001 was Sb-S and Ld 39 was Sb-R. The genome sequencing of these isolates had confirmed co-infection with Leptomonas.
Project description:Candida lusitaniae is an emerging human opportunistic yeast, which can switch from yeast to pseudohyphae, and one of the rare Candida species capable of sexual reproduction. Its haploid genome and the genetic tools available make it a model of interest to study gene function. This study describes the consequences of DPP3 inactivation on cell morphology and mating, both altered in the dpp3Δ knock-out. Interestingly, reintroducing a wild-type copy of the DPP3 gene in the dpp3Δ mutant failed to restore the wild-type phenotypes. Proteomic analyses showed that about 150 proteins were statistically deregulated in the dpp3Δ mutant, and that most of them did not return to their wild-type level in the reconstituted DPP3 strain. The analysis of the segregation of the dpp3Δ mutation and the phenotypes in the progeny of a cross (between the dpp3Δ knock-out and a wild-type strain) showed that the phenotypes are not linked to dpp3Δ, but to a secondary mutation. Genome sequencing of the dpp3Δ mutant allowed us to identify this secondary mutation.
