Application of curcumin nanoformulations to target folic acid receptor in cancer: Recent trends and advances. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 233:116476. [PMID: 37348632 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116476] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/24/2023]
Abstract
Curcumin, derived from turmeric, has a strong anticancer potential known for millennia. The development of this phytochemical as a medicine has been hampered by several significant deficiencies, including its poor water solubility and low bioavailability. This review article discusses possibilities to overcome these bottlenecks by focusing on this natural polyphenol's nanoformulation. Moreover, preparation of curcumin conjugates containing folates as ligands for folic acid receptors can add a new important dimension in this field, allowing specific targeting of cancer cells, considering the significantly higher expression of these receptors in malignant tissues compared to normal cells. It is highly expected that simultaneous improvement of different aspects of curcumin in fighting against such a complex and multifaceted disease like cancer. Therefore, we can better comprehend cancer biology by developing a mechanistic understanding of curcumin, which will also inspire the scientific community to develop new pharmacological models, and exploration of emerging directions to revitalize application of natural products in cancer therapy.

Hussain A, Zakria M, Ali I, Tariq SA, Hussain A, Siraj S. Pattern of dyslipidemia and associated factors in coronary artery disease patients in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: A cross-sectional secondary data analysis. Pak J Med Sci 2023; 39:1416-1421. [PMID: 37680793 PMCID: PMC10480735 DOI: 10.12669/pjms.39.5.7382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 09/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives To assess the prevalence, pattern, and associated factors of dyslipidemia in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) in the Northwest region of Pakistan. Method A cross-sectional secondary data analysis was performed on CAD patients visiting cardiology clinics in selected hospitals from July to December 2019. A total of 362 patients were included via consecutive sampling. Dyslipidemia was operationalized according to the "National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP ATP III) guidelines". Results Mixed dyslipidemia was recorded in 92.26% of the patients, while isolated dyslipidemia was observed in 5.24%. A high prevalence of combined dyslipidemia with increased LDL-C, TG, and low HDL-C was noted. Contrarily, elevated LDL-C was the commonest single lipid disorder (84.25%). Hypercholesterolemia was the least common disorder. Increasing BMI was found to be independently associated with hypercholesterolemia (OR: 1.19). Similarly, age (OR: 0.97) and being a rural resident (OR: 2.61) were independent factors associated with hypertriglyceridemia. Furthermore, being an urban resident (OR: 2.25) and increasing BMI (OR: 1.77) were also significantly associated with high LDL-C. Conclusion Mixed dyslipidemias were observed in the majority of the patients. Age, BMI, and residence were noted to be independently associated with abnormal lipids. Early screening and proper management should be encouraged to minimize this significant cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
A search for the rare η→μ^{+}μ^{-}μ^{+}μ^{-} double-Dalitz decay is performed using a sample of proton-proton collisions, collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC with high-rate muon triggers during 2017 and 2018 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 101 fb^{-1}. A signal having a statistical significance well in excess of 5 standard deviations is observed. Using the η→μ^{+}μ^{-} decay as normalization, the branching fraction B(η→μ^{+}μ^{-}μ^{+}μ^{-})=[5.0±0.8(stat)±0.7(syst)±0.7(B_{2μ})]×10^{-9} is measured, where the last term is the uncertainty in the normalization channel branching fraction. This work achieves an improved precision of over 5 orders of magnitude compared to previous results, leading to the first measurement of this branching fraction, which is found to agree with theoretical predictions.

Abstract
The cornea is the window through which we see the world. Corneal clarity is required for vision, and blindness occurs when the cornea becomes opaque. The cornea is covered by unique transparent epithelial cells that serve as an outermost cellular barrier bordering between the cornea and the external environment. Corneal sensory nerves protect the cornea from injury by triggering tearing and blink reflexes, and are also thought to regulate corneal epithelial renewal via unknown mechanism(s). When protective corneal sensory innervation is absent due to infection, trauma, intracranial tumors, surgery, or congenital causes, permanent blindness results from repetitive epithelial microtraumas and failure to heal. The condition is termed neurotrophic keratopathy (NK), with an incidence of 5:10,000 people worldwide. In this report, we review the currently available therapeutic solutions for NK and discuss the progress in our understanding of how the sensory nerves induce corneal epithelial renewal.

Abstract
Atypical Escherichia coli forms exhibit unusual characteristics compared to typical strains. The H2S-producing variants of some atypical E. coli strains cause a wide range of illnesses in humans and animals. However, there are sparse reports on such strains worldwide. We performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and detailed characterization of four H2S-producing E. coli variants from poultry and human clinical sources in Dhaka, Bangladesh. All four isolates were confirmed as E. coli using biochemical tests and genomic analysis, and were multidrug-resistant (MDR). WGS analysis including an additional Chinese strain, revealed diverse STs among the five H2S-producing E. coli genomes, with clonal complex ST10 being detected in 2 out of 5 genomes. The predominant phylogroup detected was group A (n = 4/5). The blaTEM1B (n = 5/5) was the most predominant extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) gene, followed by different alleles of blaCTX-M (blaCTX-M -55,-65,-123; n = 3/5). Multiple plasmid replicons were detected, with IncX being the most common. One E. coli strain was classified as enteropathogenic E. coli. The genomes of all five isolates harbored five primary and four secondary function genes related to H2S production. These findings suggest the potential of these isolates to cause disease and spread antibiotic resistance. Therefore, such atypical E. coli forms should be included in differential diagnosis to understand the pathogenicity, antimicrobial resistance and evolution of H2S-producing E. coli.

Current status of cardiopulmonary resuscitation training and automatic external defibrillator availability in high schools in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Paediatr Child Health 2023; 28:225-228. [PMID: 37287480 PMCID: PMC10243998 DOI: 10.1093/pch/pxac084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background School-based cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training and early use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) have proven to increase the survival of victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). This study aimed to determine the status of CPR training, availability of AEDs, and medical emergency response programs (MERPs) in high schools in Halifax Regional Municipality. Method High school principals were asked to participate in a voluntary online survey comprising questions about demographics, AEDs availability, CPR training for staff and students, the existence of MERPs, and perceived barriers. Three autogenerated reminders followed the initial invitation. Results Out of 51 schools, 21 (41%) responded, only 10% (2/21) and 33% (7/21) reported providing CPR training to students and staff, respectively. About 35% (7/20) of the schools reported having AEDs, but only 10% (2/20) have MERPs for SCA. All respondents reported in favor of AED availability in schools. The reported barriers to CPR training included limited financial resources (54%), perception of low priority (23%), and time constraints (23%). Respondents reported limited financial resources (85%) and the lack of trained staff to use (30%) as the main reasons for the unavailability of AEDs. Conclusion This survey showed that all respondents overwhelmingly favour having access to AEDs. However, the availability of CPR and AED training for staff and students in schools remains inadequate. Emergency action plans have not been devised, and few schools have AED devices. More education and awareness are needed to ensure lifesaving equipment and practices in all Halifax Regional Municipality schools.

Case report: A successfully treated case of community-acquired urinary tract infection due to Klebsiella aerogenes in Bangladesh. Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1206756. [PMID: 37435536 PMCID: PMC10330784 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1206756] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Klebsiella aerogenes, a nosocomial pathogen, is increasingly associated with extensive drug resistance and virulence profiles. It is responsible for high morbidity and mortality. This report describes the first successfully treated case of community-acquired urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by Klebsiella aerogenes in an elderly housewife with Type-2 diabetes (T2D) from Dhaka, Bangladesh. The patient was empirically treated with intravenous ceftriaxone (500 mg/8 h). However, she did not respond to the treatment. The urine culture and sensitivity tests, coupled with bacterial whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and analysis, revealed the bacteria to be K. aerogenes which was extensively drug-resistant but was susceptible to carbapenems and polymyxins. Based on these findings, meropenem (500 mg/8 h) was administered to the patient, who then responded to the treatment and recovered successfully without having a relapse. This case raises awareness of the importance of diagnosis of not-so-common etiological agents, correct identification of the pathogens, and targeted antibiotic therapy. In conclusion, correctly identifying etiological agents of UTI using WGS approaches that are otherwise difficult to diagnose could help improve the identification of infectious agents and improve the management of infectious diseases.

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries. Br J Surg 2023; 110:804-817. [PMID: 37079880 PMCID: PMC10364528 DOI: 10.1093/bjs/znad092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 04/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. METHODS This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low-middle-income countries. RESULTS In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of 'single-use' consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low-middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. CONCLUSION This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high- and low-middle-income countries.

Therapeutic Potential of Dillenia indica L. in Attenuating Hyperglycemia-Induced Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis in Alloxan-Administered Diabetic Mice. FRONT BIOSCI-LANDMRK 2023; 28:105. [PMID: 37258477 DOI: 10.31083/j.fbl2805105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Revised: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress accelerates the process of apoptosis in tissues. Dilleniaindica (DI) is a medicinal plant, and its fruit contains many therapeutic properties. The therapeutic activity of the Methanolic Fruit Extract (MFE) of DI in attenuating oxidative stress and apoptosis in the liver and kidney tissues of alloxan-induced diabetic mice was analyzed in the present study. METHODS High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) profiling of MFE was conducted. GLUT4 protein expression analysis and lipid peroxidation assays were conducted to check for MFE effect by administering in diabetic mice. An ultrastructural study was conducted for both the tissues. In apoptotic studies, the TUNEL assay and apoptotic protein expression analysis was conducted. RESULTS High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) profiling of MFE showed the presence of two crucial antioxidants, ascorbic acid, and naringenin. In GLUT-4 protein expression analysis, MFE suppresses hyperglycemia by upregulating GLUT4 protein expression. Lipid peroxidation assay showed a decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA) upon MFE administration in diabetic mice. An ultrastructural study was conducted, and MFE was found to restore cellular alterations in diabetic tissues. In apoptotic studies, the TUNEL assay shows that MFE treatment showed fewer apoptotic cells than the diabetic group. The study also observed decreased caspase 3 protein expression and increased Bcl-2 protein expression. CONCLUSIONS Therefore, it is inferred from the study that MFE can exert a protective effect by suppressing hyperglycemia and modulating oxidative stress and apoptosis in alloxan-administered diabetic mice.

Abstract
Electrospinning micro-nanofibers with exceptional physicochemical properties and biocompatibility are becoming popular in the medical field. These features indicate its potential application as microbial immobilized carriers in wastewater treatment. Here, aerobic denitrifying bacteria were immobilized on micro-nanofibers, which were prepared using different concentrations of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) solution (8%, 12% and 15%). The results of diameter distribution, specific surface area and average pore diameter indicated that 15% PAN micro-nanofibers with tighter surface structure were not suitable as microbial carriers. The bacterial load results showed that the cell density (OD600) and total protein of 12% PAN micro-nanofibers were 107.14% and 106.28% higher than those of 8% PAN micro-nanofibers. Subsequently, the 12% PAN micro-nanofibers were selected for aerobic denitrification under the different C/N ratios (1.5-10), and stable performance was obtained. Bacterial community analysis further manifested that the micro-nanofibers effectively immobilized bacteria and enriched bacterial structure under the high C/N ratios. Therefore, the feasibility of micro-nanofibers as microbial carriers was confirmed. This work was of great significance for promoting the application of electrospinning for microbial immobilization in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae is recognized as an urgent public health threat because of the emergence of difficult-to-treat (DTR) strains and hypervirulent clones, resulting in infections with high morbidity and mortality rates. Despite its prominence, little is known about the genomic epidemiology of K. pneumoniae in resource-limited settings like Bangladesh. We sequenced genomes of 32 K. pneumoniae strains isolated from patient samples at the International Center for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (icddr,b). Genome sequences were examined for their diversity, population structure, resistome, virulome, MLST, O and K antigens and plasmids. Our results revealed the presence of two K. pneumoniae phylogroups, namely KpI (K. pneumoniae) (97%) and KpII (K. quasipneumoniae) (3%). The genomic characterization revealed that 25% (8/32) of isolates were associated with high-risk multidrug-resistant clones, including ST11, ST14, ST15, ST307, ST231 and ST147. The virulome analysis confirmed the presence of six (19%) hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKp) and 26 (81%) classical K. pneumoniae (cKp) strains. The most common ESBL gene identified was blaCTX-M-15 (50%). Around 9% (3/32) isolates exhibited a difficult-to-treat phenotype, harboring carbapenem resistance genes (2 strains harbored blaNDM-5 plus blaOXA-232, one isolate blaOXA-181). The most prevalent O antigen was O1 (56%). The capsular polysaccharides K2, K20, K16 and K62 were enriched in the K. pneumoniae population. This study suggests the circulation of the major international high-risk multidrug-resistant and hypervirulent (hvKp) K. pneumoniae clones in Dhaka, Bangladesh. These findings warrant immediate appropriate interventions, which would otherwise lead to a high burden of untreatable life-threatening infections locally.

Abstract
Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) as a low-carbon and energy-saving technology, has shown unique advantages in the treatment of high ammonia wastewater. However, wastewater usually contains complex heavy metals (HMs), which pose a potential risk to the stable operation of the anammox system. This review systematically re-evaluates the HMs toxicity level from the inhibition effects and the inhibition recovery process, which can provide a new reference for engineering. From the perspective of anammox cell structure (extracellular, anammoxosome membrane, anammoxosome), the mechanism of HMs effects on cellular substances and metabolism is expounded. Furthermore, the challenges and research gaps for HMs inhibition in anammox research are also discussed. The clarification of material flow, energy flow and community succession under HMs shock will help further reveal the inhibition mechanism. The development of new recovery strategies such as bio-accelerators and bio-augmentation is conductive to breaking through the engineered limitations of HMs on anammox. This review provides a new perspective on the recognition of toxicity and mechanism of HMs in the anammox process, as well as the promotion of engineering applicability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Statins' efficacy and safety are subject to wide inter-individual variability, partly due to genetic predisposition. Studies have shown that the genetic variations in the common solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (SLCO1B1) gene polymorphisms affect the transport of statins' transport into hepatocytes, their plasma concentration, and circulation time. The ultimate result is variable and personalized statins response and statin-associated muscular symptoms (SAMS). Here we report an update on the differential response to rosuvastatin therapy in the Pakistani population. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 166 hyperlipidemic patients on rosuvastatin were prospectively followed for 24 weeks. Muscle symptoms were recorded after 6-8 weeks of therapy, and assessment was done according to the SAMS-clinical index tool. Patients were genotyped for SLCO1B1 c.521T>C and c.388A>G polymorphisms, for association with lipid-lowering response and statin-associated muscle symptoms. The plasma level of rosuvastatin was determined through Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS) for possible correlation with adverse effects and lipid-lowering efficacy. RESULTS Mean reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was 42.34 mg/dl (p<0.001), 35.66 mg/dl (p<0.001), and 24.47 mg/dl (p=0.202) in reference, heterozygous and mutant homozygous groups of SLCO1B1 c.521T>C, respectively. A 15.70% and 42.14% diminished LDL-C reduction was observed in c.521TC and c.521CC, respectively, compared to the reference c.521TT genotype. Similarly, for SLCO1B1 c.388A>G, 20.50% and 29.40% less LDL-C lowering effect was observed in heterozygous and mutant homozygous carriers, respectively. SAMS were observed in 37% and 33% of heterozygous and minor homozygous, respectively, (p=0.059). The rosuvastatin plasma level was 1.89-fold higher in the c.521CC genotype than in the reference homozygous type. CONCLUSIONS Differential lipid-lowering response and muscular symptoms due to rosuvastatin are associated with the SLCO1B1 common polymorphisms. Further studies are needed to validate dose adjustment and rationalization.

Abstract
It is essential to develop ultrasensitive biosensors for cancer detection and treatment monitoring. In the development of sensing platforms, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received considerable attention as potential porous crystalline nanostructures. Core-shell MOF nanoparticles (NPs) have shown different diversities, complexities, and biological functionalities, as well as significant electrochemical (EC) properties and potential bio-affinity to aptamers. As a result, the developed core-shell MOF-based aptasensors serve as highly sensitive platforms for sensing cancer biomarkers with an extremely low limit of detection (LOD). This paper aimed to provide an overview of different strategies for improving selectivity, sensitivity, and signal strength of MOF nanostructures. Then, aptamers and aptamers-modified core-shell MOFs were reviewed to address their functionalization and application in biosensing platforms. Additionally, the application of core-shell MOF-assisted EC aptasensors for detection of several tumor antigens such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA), carbohydrate antigen 15-3 (CA15-3), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2), cancer antigen 125 (CA-125), cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1), and other tumor markers were discussed. In conclusion, the present article reviews the advancement of potential biosensing platforms toward the detection of specific cancer biomarkers through the development of core-shell MOFs-based EC aptasensors.

Abstract
In the biological systems, exposure to nanoparticles (NPs) can cause complicated interactions with proteins, the formation of protein corona and structural changes to proteins. These changes depend not only on NP physicochemical properties, but also on the intrinsic stability of protein molecules. Although, the formation of protein corona on the surface of NPs and the underlying mechanisms have been fully explored in various studies, no comprehensive review has discussed the direct biochemical and biophysical interactions between NPs and blood proteins, particularly transferrin. In this review, we first discussed the interaction of NPs with proteins to comprehend the effects of physicochemical properties of NPs on protein structure. We then overviewed the transferrin structure and its direct interaction with NPs to explore transferrin stability and its iron ion (Fe3+) release behavior. Afterwards, we surveyed the various biological functions of transferrin, such as Fe3+ binding, receptor binding, antibacterial activity, growth, differentiation, and coagulation, followed by the application of transferrin-modified NPs in the development of drug delivery systems for cancer therapy. We believe that this study can provide useful insight into the design and development of bioconjugates containing NP-transferrin for potential biomedical applications.

Abstract
Overexpression of androgen receptor (AR) is the primary cause of castration-resistant prostate cancer, although mechanisms upregulating AR transcription in this context are not well understood. Our RNA-seq studies revealed that SMAD3 knockdown decreased levels of AR and AR target genes, whereas SMAD4 or SMAD2 knockdown had little or no effect. ChIP-seq analysis showed that SMAD3 knockdown decreased global binding of AR to chromatin. Mechanistically, we show that SMAD3 binds to intron 3 of the AR gene to promote AR expression. Targeting these binding sites by CRISPRi reduced transcript levels of AR and AR targets. In addition, ∼50% of AR and SMAD3 ChIP-seq peaks overlapped, and SMAD3 may also cooperate with or co-activate AR for AR target expression. Functionally, AR re-expression in SMAD3-knockdown cells partially rescued AR target expression and cell growth defects. The SMAD3 peak in AR intron 3 overlapped with H3K27ac ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq peaks in datasets of prostate cancer. AR and SMAD3 mRNAs were upregulated in datasets of metastatic prostate cancer and CRPC compared with primary prostate cancer. A SMAD3 PROTAC inhibitor reduced levels of AR, AR-V7 and AR targets in prostate cancer cells. This study suggests that SMAD3 could be targeted to inhibit AR in prostate cancer.

Abstract
Overexpression of the androgen receptor (AR) is the primary cause of development of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), although mechanisms upregulating AR transcription in this context are not well understood. Our RNA-seq analysis revealed AR as the top pathway altered after SMAD3 knockdown in prostate cancer cells. SMAD3 knockdown decreased levels of AR, AR-V7 and AR target gene transcripts, whereas SMAD4 or SMAD2 knockdown had little or no effect. ChIP-seq analysis showed that SMAD3 knockdown decreased global binding of AR to chromatin. Mechanistically, we show that SMAD3 binds to intron 3 of the AR gene to promote AR expression. Targeting these binding sites by CRISPRi reduced transcript levels of AR and AR targets. In addition, ~50% of AR or SMAD3 ChIP-seq peaks overlapped, and SMAD3 may also cooperate with or co-activate AR in terms of AR target expression. Functionally, AR re-expression in SMAD3-knockdown cells partially rescued AR target expression and cell growth defects. AR and SMAD3 mRNAs were upregulated in datasets of metastatic prostate cancer and CRPC compared with primary prostate cancer. This study suggests that SMAD3 could be targeted to downregulate AR expression and activity and as potential anti-prostate cancer therapy.

Abstract
Given that radium-223 is a radiopharmaceutical that induces DNA damage, and olaparib is a PARP inhibitor that interferes with DNA repair mechanisms, we hypothesized their synergy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). We sought to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of olaparib + radium-223. We conducted a multicenter phase I 3+3 dose escalation study of olaparib with fixed dose radium-223 in patients with mCRPC with bone metastases. The primary objective was to establish the RP2D of olaparib, with secondary objectives of safety, PSA response, alkaline phosphatase response, radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), overall survival, and efficacy by homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene status. Twelve patients were enrolled; all patients received a prior androgen receptor signaling inhibitor (ARSI; 100%) and 3 patients (25%) prior docetaxel. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) included cytopenias, fatigue, and nausea. No DLTs were seen in the observation period however delayed toxicities guided the RP2D. The RP2D of olaparib was 200 mg orally twice daily with radium-223. The most common treatment-related adverse events were fatigue (92%) and anemia (58%). The rPFS at 6 months was 58% (95% confidence interval, 27%-80%). Nine patients were evaluable for HRR gene status; 1 had a BRCA2 alteration (rPFS 11.8 months) and 1 had a CDK12 alteration (rPFS 3.1 months). Olaparib can be safely combined with radium-223 at the RP2D 200 mg orally twice daily with fixed dose radium-223. Early clinical benefit was observed and will be investigated in a phase II study.

Abstract
The available drugs against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVOD-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), are limited. This study aimed to identify ginger-derived compounds that might neutralize SARS-CoV-2 and prevent its entry into host cells. Ring compounds of ginger were screened against spike (S) protein of alpha, beta, gamma, and delta variants of SARS-CoV-2. The S protein FASTA sequence was retrieved from Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Data (GISAID) and converted into ".pdb" format using Open Babel tool. A total of 306 compounds were identified from ginger through food and phyto-databases. Out of those, 38 ring compounds were subjected to docking analysis using CB Dock online program which implies AutoDock Vina for docking. The Vina score was recorded, which reflects the affinity between ligands and receptors. Further, the Protein Ligand Interaction Profiler (PLIP) program for detecting the type of interaction between ligand-receptor was used. SwissADME was used to compute druglikeness parameters and pharmacokinetics characteristics. Furthermore, energy minimization was performed by using Swiss PDB Viewer (SPDBV) and energy after minimization was recorded. Molecular dynamic simulation was performed to find the stability of protein-ligand complex and root-mean- square deviation (RMSD) as well as root-mean-square fluctuation (RMSF) were calculated and recorded by using myPresto v5.0. Our study suggested that 17 out of 38 ring compounds of ginger were very likely to bind the S protein of SARS-CoV-2. Seventeen out of 38 ring compounds showed high affinity of binding with S protein of alpha, beta, gamma, and delta variants of SARS-CoV-2. The RMSD showed the stability of the complex was parallel to the S protein monomer. These computer-aided predictions give an insight into the possibility of ginger ring compounds as potential anti-SARS-CoV-2 worthy of in vitro investigations.

Abstract
Patients with soft tissue tumors of the lower extremities are at greater risk to develop postoperative disruption of lymphatic vessels. Currently, there is no widely effective cure for lymphatic dysfunction. Therefore, the best strategy is to prevent it and reconstruct efficient drainage as soon as the original pathway is damaged. We present a report of three prophylactic LVA cases after sarcoma resection in the lower limb, and a literature review to show the feasibility of prophylactic LVAs. The patients were 35, 73, and 77 years old, respectively, at the time of the procedure. All three patients had sarcoma in the medial thigh and underwent radiation therapy before the surgery. The locations of the LVAs include the medial thigh and medial and lateral calf. During the surgery, methylene blue and/or indocyanine green were injected to identify lymphatic vessels. Postoperative recovery was uneventful immediately after the surgery. At follow-up visits, all three patients reported improved functions with no significant swelling in the lower limb. One patient experienced a surgical wound infection that resolved after antibiotic admission. Two patients had a history of cardiac diseases, a major risk factor for developing postoperative lymphedema, but these two patients did not develop lymphedema with the treatment of prophylactic LVAs. These results suggest that prophylactic LVA may be an effective strategy to prevent secondary lymphedema after sarcoma resection. Further investigation is warranted.

Emergence of BRCA Reversion Mutations in Patients with Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer After Treatment with Rucaparib. Eur Urol 2023; 83:200-209. [PMID: 36243543 PMCID: PMC10398818 DOI: 10.1016/j.eururo.2022.09.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Revised: 08/03/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors are approved in the USA for the treatment of patients with BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA) mutated (BRCA+) metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). BRCA reversion mutations are a known mechanism of acquired resistance to PARP inhibitors in multiple cancer types, although their impact and prevalence in mCRPC remain unknown. OBJECTIVE To examine the prevalence of BRCA reversion mutations in the plasma of patients with BRCA+ mCRPC after progression on rucaparib. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Men with BRCA+ mCRPC enrolled in Trial of Rucaparib in Prostate Indications 2 (TRITON2) were treated with rucaparib after progressing on one to two lines of androgen receptor-directed and one taxane-based therapy. Cell-free DNA from the plasma of 100 patients, collected at the end of treatment after confirmed progression before May 5, 2020, was queried for BRCA reversion mutations using next-generation sequencing (NGS). OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS The association of clinical efficacy and postprogression genomics was measured in 100 patients with BRCA+ mCRPC treated with rucaparib. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS No baseline BRCA reversion mutations were observed in 100 BRCA+ patients. NGS identified somatic BRCA reversion mutations in 39% (39/100) of patients after progression. Reversion rates were similar for BRCA2 and BRCA1, irrespective of germline or somatic status, but higher in samples with a high tumor DNA fraction. Most patients with reversions (74%, 29/39) had two or more reversion mutations occurring subclonally at lower allele frequencies than the original BRCA mutations. The incidence of BRCA reversion mutations increased with the duration of rucaparib treatment. The frequency of reversion mutations was higher in patients with an objective (58%) or a prostate-specific antigen (69%) response compared with those without either (39% and 29%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that BRCA reversion mutations are a significant mechanism of acquired resistance to rucaparib in patients with BRCA+ mCRPC, with evidence of subclonal convergence promoting systemic resistance. PATIENT SUMMARY Men with BRCA mutated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer enrolled in TRITON2 were treated with rucaparib after progressing on one to two lines of androgen receptor-directed and one taxane-based therapy. Cell-free DNA from the plasma of 100 patients, collected after radiographic or prostate-specific antigen progression before May 5, 2020, was analyzed by next-generation sequencing and queried for BRCA reversion mutations.

Peripheral Arterial Diseases and Diabetes Mellitus: Associations With Quality of Health Measures in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Vascular Interventions. CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2023; 48:34-38. [PMID: 36379829 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2022.11.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Revised: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 11/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is more prevalent and severe in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) compared with those without DM. Peripheral vascular intervention (PVI) is often used in patients failing conservative management. The association of PVI with health status in diabetic patients has yet to be determined. METHODS We analyzed the clinical response to PVI in DM (n = 203, 52 %) compared with non-DM patients (n = 183, 48 %), using the Peripheral Arterial Questionnaire (PAQ) for patients during baseline and a maximum 6 months after PVI. We used the PAQ summary score, which summarized the patients' level of physical and social function, patient symptoms, and overall quality of life. This represented the PAD-related Quality of Health (QOH). Our score range is between 0 (lowest health quality) and 100 (highest health quality). RESULTS Compared with non-DM patients, those with DM were more likely to have a history of prior PVI, an increased prevalence of PAD risk factors, and significantly lower QOH scores at baseline (32.7 ± 20 vs 37.5 ± 20.6, p = 0.02). After adjustment for baseline confounding, neither the baseline, the change, nor the final summary scores were significantly different between groups, suggesting similar symptomatic and functional improvement in non-DM and DM patients post-PVI. CONCLUSIONS Following PVI, PAD-specific health status showed a similar improvement in patients with and without DM, illustrating that use of this strategy among patients with multiple comorbidities or diffuse PAD as useful.

Abstract
TPS284 Background: Prostate cancer is the leading cause of new cancer diagnoses and the second most common cause of cancer-related death in American men. Prognosis is especially poor for men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is highly expressed on malignant prostate tissue but shows limited expression on normal tissue. As such, PSMA is an excellent research target for treatment of mCRPC. REGN4336 is a PSMAxCD3 bispecific antibody designed to facilitate T-cell–mediated killing of PSMA-expressing tumor cells. In preclinical models, REGN4336 demonstrated strong PSMA-dependent antitumor activity that was dose-dependent. Preclinical data also support clinical research into the combination of REGN4336 with cemiplimab (anti–programmed cell death-1) for treating mCRPC. Methods: This is an open-label, Phase 1/2, first-in-human, multicenter dose-escalation study with dose expansion evaluating safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and antitumor activity of REGN4336 administered subcutaneously alone and in combination with intravenous cemiplimab in patients with mCRPC (NCT05125016). Patients must have received at least two prior lines of systemic therapy approved for metastatic and/or castration-resistant disease including a second-generation anti-androgen therapy. In Module 1, REGN4336 as monotherapy is administered weekly but may be extended to once every 3 weeks following identification of the minimal pharmacologically active dose. In Module 2, REGN4336 will be administered in combination with cemiplimab (350 mg) once every 3 weeks after a 4-week REGN4336 monotherapy lead-in cycle. Study therapies are administered until disease progression, intolerable adverse events, withdrawal of consent, or a study withdrawal criterion is met. The primary objectives in dose escalation are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and recommended phase 2 dosing regimen (RP2DR) of REGN4336 alone and in-combination with cemiplimab. Expansion cohort(s) will be enrolled once RP2DRs have been determined. During the expansion phase, the primary objective is to assess clinical activity, as measured by objective response rate with REGN4336 alone or in combination with cemiplimab per modified Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 criteria. At selected sites, PSMA positron emission tomography/computed tomography scans will be performed at predefined timepoints on study. This study is currently open to enrollment. Clinical trial information: NCT03088540 .

Abstract
TPS275 Background: It is now recognized that some patients with “oligo,” or few sites of metastases, may have the potential to completely eradicate their disease with aggressive local therapy. There are recent encouraging randomized prospective data for total consolidation of macroscopic metastases through treatment intensification involving metastasis-directed therapy (MDT). Hypotheses include that radiation to primary prostate tumor and metastatic sites affects the natural history of metastasis by virtue of radiation effects on cancer cell autonomous pathways and tumor microenvironment/normal tissue pathways. This study aims to evaluate the utility of the addition of MDT to the evolving standard of care treatment for de novo low volume metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) patients. This study will evaluate the efficacy of best systemic therapy (BST) and primary prostate radiation (XRT) versus BST, XRT and stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) MDT. Discovery correlatives associated with clinical outcome will be assessed by collection of including, but not limited to: circulating tumor cells, immunologic biomarkers, microbiota and radiomics. Methods: This study is a multi-site, non-blinded, randomized Phase II trial in patients with oligometastatic PCa. Men with de novo histologically confirmed (at any site) oligometastatic PCa (<3 metastases on standard imaging or <5 on Axumin/Choline/PSMA-PET/CT) will be randomized (1:1) to BST + XRT versus BST + XRT + SABR MDT. BST and XRT will be administered for all men in the first 3-months, and radiation treatment will be completed within the first 150 days. A range of XRT treatment approaches are permitted but must deliver an EQD2 >75.6 Gy to the prostate. BST will allow standard and intensified androgen blockade. The trial will evaluate the addition of SABR MDT and explore several translational and imaging correlatives. Subjects who meet eligibility criteria and qualify for enrollment will be stratified according to: (i) hormonal therapy vs intensified hormonal therapy; (ii) XRT vs XRT + primary prostate boost, and (iii) absence vs presence of bone metastasis. This study has been approved and began accrual on October 3rd, 2022, the Clinicaltrials.gov. Identifier: NCT05223803. We assume an accrual time of 24 months, with 24 months of additional follow-up time, and will randomize a total of 122 patients (61 patients in each arm). The primary endpoint with be to assess 2-year failure-free survival (FFS). Secondary endpoints will include toxicity, quality of life (QoL), time to locoregional progression, time to distant progression, time to new metastasis, radiographic progression-free survival, and duration of response. Clinical trial information: NCT05223803 .

Bacterial metabolic engineering for the production of second-generation (2 G) bioethanol and biobutanol; a review. J Appl Microbiol 2023; 134:6918840. [PMID: 36657041 DOI: 10.1093/jambio/lxac061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2022] [Revised: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
The second generation (2 G) biofuels were introduced to solve the issues associated with first-generation biofuel (dependency on food materials) and fossil fuels, such as reservoirs diminution, high demand, price fluctuation, and lethal greenhouse gases emission. Butanol and ethanol are the main 2 G biofuels. They are used as a disinfectant, antiseptic, and chemical solvent in the pharmaceutical, plastic, textiles, cosmetics, and fuel industries. Currently, their bacterial biological production from lignocellulosic material at the industrial level with primitive microorganisms is under development and not economical and qualitative compatible as compared to that of fossil origin, due to the slow growth rate, low titer, recalcitrant nature of lignocellulose, strain intolerance to a higher amount of butanol and ethanol, and strain inability to tolerate inhibitors accumulated during pretreatment of lignocellulosic materials. Therefore, metabolic engineering strategies such as redirection of carbon flux, knocking out competing pathways, enhancing strain robustness and wide range of substrate utilization ability, and overexpression of enzymes involved in their biological synthesis have been applied to bacteria for enhancing their ability for 2 G ethanol and butanol production in a highly cost-effective amount from lignocellulosic materials. Herein, we summarized and reviewed the progress in metabolic engineering of bacterial species such as Clostridium spp,Escherichia coli, and Zymomonas mobilis for the synthesis of 2 G butanol and ethanol, especially from lignocellulosic materials.
