Abstract
Backgrounds Atrophy of corpus callosum (CC), a white matter structure linking the two hemispheres, is commonly observed in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the occurrence and processes leading to this alteration are not yet determined. Goal and methods To better characterize the onset and progression of CC atrophy from the early stage of MS, we performed a two-year follow-up magnetic resonance imaging/magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRI/MRSI) exploration of CC in 24 patients with clinically isolated syndrome. These patients were explored using the same protocol at month (M)6, M12 and M24. MRI/MRSI techniques were applied to measure CC volume, and relative concentrations of N-acetylaspartate (NAA), creatine/phosphocreatine (Cr) and choline-containing compounds (Cho). A group of matched controls was also explored. Results Atrophy of CC, not present at baseline, was observed at M12 and progressed over the second year (M24). At baseline, a decrease in relative NAA level was observed in the anterior and posterior body of CC, with normalization during the follow-up period. In the anterior body, an increase in relative Cho level was observed, with normalization at M6. Normal relative Cr levels were observed at all time points in all sub-regions. The rate of CC atrophy was correlated with the change in the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) during the follow-up period. Conclusion These results suggest that CC atrophy appears over a period of one year after the first acute inflammatory episode, and that this atrophy is accompanied, especially in the anterior body of CC, by a normalization of the relative Cho levels, marker of acute inflammation, and NAA levels, marker of neuronal dysfunction and/or loss.

Abstract
Background: Once weekly interferon β-1a for multiple sclerosis (OWIMS) demonstrated modest, but significant, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) benefit of once-weekly (qw) interferon (IFN) β-1a at 48 weeks, but no significant effect on relapses. Objective: An OWIMS extension permitted assessment of longer-term efficacy/safety of qw IFN β-1a in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Methods: Placebo patients were rerandomized to IFN β-1a, 22 or 44 mcg qw, for two additional 48-week intervals. Primary outcome was MRI lesion activity. Relapse rate and other MRI measures were secondary outcomes. Results: After three years, median (mean) T2 lesion count/patient/scan was 1.3 (2.6) for 44 mcg, 1.7 (3.3) for 22 mcg, 1.7 (3.4) for placebo/22 mcg, 2.0 (3.6) for placebo/44 mcg (all differences not significant). Annualized relapse rates were lowest for 44 mcg (0.77) versus other groups (0.83-0.86, not significant). Persistent neutralizing antibodies did not affect relapse rates, but MRI active lesions were increased in antibody-positive patients receiving 44 mcg compared to antibody negative patients. Conclusions: In RRMS, once weekly IFN β-1a, particularly 44 mcg, can induce a significant MRI, but not relapse, effect, compared with placebo. No significant dose effect was seen. In contrast to the significant effect observed with three-times-weekly dosing of subcutaneous IFN β-1a compared with placebo, this study confirms the lack of meaningful clinical benefit with once-weekly dosing.

Abstract
The ATP-dependent DExH/D-box helicase DHX9 is a key participant in a number of gene regulatory steps, including transcriptional, translational, microRNA-mediated control, DNA replication, and maintenance of genomic stability. DHX9 has also been implicated in tumor cell maintenance and drug response. Here, we report that inhibition of DHX9 expression is lethal to human cancer cell lines and murine Eµ−Myc lymphomas. Using a novel conditional shDHX9 mouse model, we demonstrate that sustained and prolonged (6 months) suppression of DHX9 does not result in any deleterious effects at the organismal level. Body weight, blood biochemistry, and histology of various tissues were comparable to control mice. Global gene expression profiling revealed that although reduction of DHX9 expression resulted in multiple transcriptome changes, these were relatively benign and did not lead to any discernible phenotype. Our results demonstrate a robust tolerance for systemic DHX9 suppression in vivo and support the targeting of DHX9 as an effective and specific chemotherapeutic approach.

Repression of p53-target gene Bbc3/PUMA by MYSM1 is essential for the survival of hematopoietic multipotent progenitors and contributes to stem cell maintenance. Cell Death Differ 2016; 23:759-75. [PMID: 26768662 PMCID: PMC4832099 DOI: 10.1038/cdd.2015.140] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2015] [Revised: 09/24/2015] [Accepted: 09/25/2015] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
p53 is a central mediator of cellular stress responses, and its precise regulation is essential for the normal progression of hematopoiesis. MYSM1 is an epigenetic regulator essential for the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function, hematopoietic progenitor survival, and lymphocyte development. We recently demonstrated that all developmental and hematopoietic phenotypes of Mysm1 deficiency are p53-mediated and rescued in the Mysm1(-/-)p53(-/-) mouse model. However, the mechanisms triggering p53 activation in Mysm1(-/-) HSPCs, and the pathways downstream of p53 driving different aspects of the Mysm1(-/-) phenotype remain unknown. Here we show the transcriptional activation of p53 stress responses in Mysm1(-/-) HSPCs. Mechanistically, we find that the MYSM1 protein associates with p53 and colocalizes to promoters of classical p53-target genes Bbc3/PUMA (p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis) and Cdkn1a/p21. Furthermore, it antagonizes their p53-driven expression by modulating local histone modifications (H3K27ac and H3K4me3) and p53 recruitment. Using double-knockout mouse models, we establish that PUMA, but not p21, is an important mediator of p53-driven Mysm1(-/-) hematopoietic dysfunction. Specifically, Mysm1(-/-)Puma(-/-) mice show full rescue of multipotent progenitor (MPP) viability, partial rescue of HSC quiescence and function, but persistent lymphopenia. Through transcriptome analysis of Mysm1(-/-)Puma(-/-) MPPs, we demonstrate strong upregulation of other p53-induced mediators of apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest. The full viability of Mysm1(-/-)Puma(-/-) MPPs, despite strong upregulation of many other pro-apoptotic mediators, establishes PUMA as the essential non-redundant effector of p53-induced MPP apoptosis. Furthermore, we identify potential mediators of p53-dependent but PUMA-independent Mysm1(-/-)hematopoietic deficiency phenotypes. Overall, our study provides novel insight into the cell-type-specific roles of p53 and its downstream effectors in hematopoiesis using unique models of p53 hyperactivity induced by endogenous stress. We conclude that MYSM1 is a critical negative regulator of p53 transcriptional programs in hematopoiesis, and that its repression of Bbc3/PUMA expression is essential for MPP survival, and partly contributes to maintaining HSC function.

Abstract
In the absence of a specific test for the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS), cerebrospinal fluid analysis (CSF) remains discussed. There are robust evidences which demonstrated that an early diagnosis of MS must be done, due to the availability of disease-modifying drugs that could influence the natural history of the disease. However, several arguments can be put forward to assert that CSF analysis is not useful for the diagnosis of MS and thus should not be realized in a systematic way. First, MRI remains the most sensitive and specific marker to validate dissemination in space and in time and CSF analysis is not recommended by the 2010 McDonald criteria. The second argument is related to the low sensitivity and specificity of abnormalities detected in CSF analysis to confirm the diagnosis of MS. Moreover, there is currently no evidence that the presence of oligoclonal bands could represent a surrogate marker on an individual prognostic way. Furthermore, lumbar puncture could be traumatic, may entail some infrequent risks and represents unnecessary expense. Thus, there are strong reasons to not recommend systematic CSF examination to diagnose MS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pituitary metastases are rare and difficult to diagnose. Their optimal approach and management remains to be defined. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 56-year-old patient suffering from squamous cell lung carcinoma who developed pituitary metastasis with secondary hypopituitarism, the symptoms of which were initially attributed to depression. CONCLUSION Pituitary metastases can be difficult to diagnose, which may lead to delays in care, which can be fatal.

Abstract
Background and objective: We explored which clinical and biochemical variables predict conversion from clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) to clinically definite multiple sclerosis (CDMS) in a large international cohort. Methods: Thirty-three centres provided serum samples from 1047 CIS cases with at least two years’ follow-up. Age, sex, clinical presentation, T2-hyperintense lesions, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) oligoclonal bands (OCBs), CSF IgG index, CSF cell count, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OH-D), cotinine and IgG titres against Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA-1) and cytomegalovirus were tested for association with risk of CDMS. Results: At median follow-up of 4.31 years, 623 CIS cases converted to CDMS. Predictors of conversion in multivariable analyses were OCB (HR = 2.18, 95% CI = 1.71–2.77, p < 0.001), number of T2 lesions (two to nine lesions vs 0/1 lesions: HR = 1.97, 95% CI = 1.52–2.55, p < 0.001; >9 lesions vs 0/1 lesions: HR = 2.74, 95% CI = 2.04–3.68, p < 0.001) and age at CIS (HR per year inversely increase = 0.98, 95% CI = 0.98–0.99, p < 0.001). Lower 25-OH-D levels were associated with CDMS in univariable analysis, but this was attenuated in the multivariable model. OCB positivity was associated with higher EBNA-1 IgG titres. Conclusions: We validated MRI lesion load, OCB and age at CIS as the strongest independent predictors of conversion to CDMS in this multicentre setting. A role for vitamin D is suggested but requires further investigation.

Abstract
Pickering emulsions are stabilised by solid particles in place of surfactants. Their “surfactant-free” character makes them attractive for cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications because classical emulsions comprising surfactants often show adverse effects such as irritancy, hemolytic behavior, etc. Thus, biocompatible and biodegradable Pickering emulsions would provide an obvious benefit over current technology.

Abstract
Translation is regulated predominantly at the initiation phase by several signal transduction pathways that are often usurped in human cancers, including the PI3K/Akt/mTOR axis. mTOR exerts unique administration over translation by regulating assembly of eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4F, a heterotrimeric complex responsible for recruiting 40S ribosomes (and associated factors) to mRNA 5′ cap structures. Hence, there is much interest in targeted therapies that block eIF4F activity to assess the consequences on tumor cell growth and chemotherapy response. We report here that hippuristanol (Hipp), a translation initiation inhibitor that selectively inhibits the eIF4F RNA helicase subunit, eIF4A, resensitizes Eμ-Myc lymphomas to DNA damaging agents, including those that overexpress eIF4E—a modifier of rapamycin responsiveness. As Mcl-1 levels are significantly affected by Hipp, combining its use with the Bcl-2 family inhibitor, ABT-737, leads to a potent synergistic response in triggering cell death in mouse and human lymphoma and leukemia cells. Suppression of eIF4AI using RNA interference also synergized with ABT-737 in murine lymphomas, highlighting eIF4AI as a therapeutic target for modulating tumor cell response to chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracellular Adenosine-5'-Triphosphate (ATP) is known to accumulate in the lung, following allergen challenge, and contributes via activation of purinergic receptors on dendritic cells (DC), to the development of allergic airway inflammation (AAI). Extracellular ATP levels in the airways are normally tightly regulated by CD39. This ectonucleotidase is highly expressed by DC purified from skin (Langerhans cells) and bone marrow, and has been shown to modulate DC adaptive/haptenic immune responses. In this study, we have evaluated the impact of Cd39 deletion and associated perturbation of purinergic signaling in AAI. METHODS Standard ovalbumin (OVA)-alum and house dust mite (HDM) bone marrow-derived DC (BMDC)-dependent models of AAI were used to study effects of Cd39. Migration assays, time lapse microscopy, and T-cell priming assays were further used to determine functional relevance of Cd39 expression on BMDC in the setting of immune and Th2-mediated responses in these models. RESULTS Cd39(-/-) mice exhibited marked increases in BALF ATP levels but paradoxically exhibited limited AAI in both OVA-alum and HDM models. These pathophysiological abnormalities were associated with decreased myeloid DC activation and chemotaxis toward ATP, and were linked to purinergic receptor desensitization responses. Further, Cd39(-/-) DCs exhibited limited capacity to both prime Th2 responses and form stable immune synaptic interactions with OVA-transgenic naïve T cells. CONCLUSIONS Cd39-deficient DCs exhibit limited capacity to induce Th2 immunity in a DC-driven model of AAI in vivo. Our data demonstrate a role of CD39 and perturbed purinergic signaling in models of AAI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Predictive factors of long-term disability in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RR-MS) are well known, but the weight of these factors does not explain the entire change of disability. Few studies have examined the predictive value of quality of life (QoL). OBJECTIVES To determine the value of the initial level of QoL to predict changes in the disability status of patients with MS and to determine if specific-MS questionnaires predict more accuracy in these changes than generic questionnaires. METHODS DESIGN multicenter, multi-regional, and longitudinal study. Main inclusion criteria: patients with RR-MS subtype and an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score lower than 7.0. Sociodemographic and clinical data were recorded at baseline. Every 6 months up to month 24, QoL (MusiQoL and SF-36) was recorded. At 24 months, individuals were defined into two 'disability change' groups: the worsened and not worsened patients. RESULTS Five-hundred and twenty-six patients were enrolled: 386 (83.7%) not worsened and 75 (16.3%) worsened patients at 24 months. The activity of daily living and the relationship with healthcare workers dimensions of MusiQoL questionnaire were independent predictors of change in the EDSS score after 24 months. The physical-functioning dimension of the SF-36 questionnaire predicted independently disability change after 24 months. CONCLUSIONS Patient-reported baseline QoL levels provide additional prognostic information on MS disability beyond traditional clinical or sociodemographic factors. These findings reinforce the importance of incorporating a patient's evaluation of their own QoL level during patient monitoring and the assessment of treatment effects.
