From Antigen Presentation To Tumor Control: Mechanisms Of Type I Conventional Dendritic Cell-Based Cancer Vaccines, Josue E. Pineda

Dissertations and Theses (Open Access)

Type 1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1s) are important for generating and sustaining antitumor immunity. Accordingly, the abundance of cDC1s in human tumors correlates with improved outcomes in cancer. Capitalizing on this role, we previously demonstrated that vaccination with in vitro-derived murine cDC1s elicits durable tumor control in multiple preclinical models; however, the immunological mechanisms underlying the efficacy of cDC1 vaccination remain unclear. Here, we examined whether in vitro-derived cDC1s resemble tumor-infiltrating DC populations and whether MHC-I and MHC-II antigen presentation contribute to cDC1-mediated tumor control following vaccination in melanoma.

As expected, MHC-I- or MHC-II-deficiency had minimal impact on …

Membrane Organization Of Rheb And Rhoa: Roles In Function And Allosteric Druggability, Chase M. Hutchins

Dissertations and Theses (Open Access)

Small GTPases of the Ras superfamily are membrane-bound molecular switches that regulate nearly all major cellular processes, and their dysregulation drives cancers, neurological disorders, and metabolic diseases. While anchored to cellular membranes, the catalytic domains of small GTPases undergo orientation dynamics, adopting distinct configurations that can occlude or expose effector-binding surfaces and modulate signaling output. These dynamics have been characterized in the Ras oncoproteins, but whether they extend across the superfamily and influence allosteric druggability has remained unknown.

In this dissertation, I address these questions through Rheb and RhoA, two small GTPases with complementary differences in subfamily lineage, membrane localization, …

Understanding Epigenomic Landscapes In Cancer Progression And Immunotherapy Response, Jonathan Schulz

Dissertations and Theses (Open Access)

Nonmutational epigenomic reprogramming has emerged as a key hallmark of cancer that plays crucial roles in tumor evolution during its progression and response to therapy. However, the extent and nature of epigenomic reprogramming remains poorly understood. This dissertation examines how epigenetic regulation shapes cancer progression and response to immunotherapy. Working at the intersection of cancer biology and computational genomics, it develops analytical frameworks for characterizing chromatin structure and DNA methylation across diverse tumor contexts and uses these frameworks to address two complementary biological questions: how promoter-associated chromatin organization varies across cancer types, and how epigenetic perturbation modulates tumor immunogenicity in …

An Integrated Framework For Early Detection And Transmissibility Assessment Of Emerging Variants In Wastewater, Xingwen Chen, Tin Phan, Wei Lin Lee, Katie Clark, Steven F Rhode, Samantha Brozak, Bruce Pell, Tsultrim Palden, Mats Leifels, Anna Gitter, Yang Kuang, Stefan Wuertz, Janelle Thompson, Kristina D Mena, Eric J Alm, Fuqing Wu

Tracking the emergence of new viral variants is critical for epidemic preparedness, but remains challenging because variants typically circulate at low prevalence during the early phase of outbreaks. Here, we present an integrated framework that combines sensitive variant detection in wastewater with quantitative assessment of transmissibility through dynamic epidemic modeling. Using the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant as a proof of concept, we developed a novel nested allele-specific RT-qPCR assay (NAS-PCR) that achieved a thousand-fold increase in sensitivity compared with allele-specific RT-qPCR (limit of detection: 0.5 copies/μl). NAS-PCR detected Omicron in wastewater samples from the Greater Boston area starting in September 2021, …

Addressing Nonignorable Missing Data And Heterogeneity In Prognostic Biomarker Assessment, Xinran Huang, Ruosha Li, Jing Ning, For The Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Covariate-specific and time-dependent area-under-curve (AUC) is often used to evaluate the discriminative performance of biomarkers with time-to-event outcomes, particularly when certain covariates influence biomarkers' accuracy. In biomarker research, despite extensive efforts, missing data remain unavoidable, with nonignorable missingness posing significant challenges. This article focuses on estimating the impact of covariates on time-dependent AUC in the presence of nonignorable missing biomarkers. Assuming a parametric model on the missing probability, we leverage instrumental variables to address the identifiable issue and estimate the unknown parameters. We integrate the inverse probability weighting approach into the score equation of a pseudo partial likelihood for estimation …

In-Vitro Testing Of Light Wavelength To Detect Clots In Neonatal Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Circuitry, Amanda Holmes

Dissertations and Theses (Open Access)

Background: Neonates requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are at high risk for thrombotic complications, which contribute substantially to morbidity and mortality. Current circuit surveillance methods rely on intermittent visual inspection and indirect laboratory markers, both of which often detect thrombosis only after clinically significant progression. Optical approaches offer a non-invasive alternative for earlier clot visualization, yet the influence of illumination wavelength on detection performance under realistic ECMO conditions remains incompletely characterized.

Methods: This study evaluated wavelength-dependent clot detection performance in a controlled in-vitro neonatal ECMO circuit model using a portable imaging prototype designed to emulate bedside workflow. Twelve independent ECMO …

Fructose: Metabolic Signal And Modern Hazard, Richard J Johnson, Miguel A Lanaspa, Dean R Tolan, Marcus D Goncalves, Samir Softic, Kimber L Stanhope, Laura G Sánchez-Lozada, Mark A Herman, Joshua D Rabinowitz

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

There is much interest in the role of sweeteners such as table sugar (sucrose) and high-fructose corn syrup in obesity and metabolic disease. Both sweeteners consist of glucose and fructose, two six-carbon isomeric sugars. Whereas glucose ingestion may promote obesity through its effects to stimulate insulin secretion, fructose has unique metabolic effects that promote triglyceride synthesis and fat accumulation. These effects arise from fructose's well-known role as a signal of metabolic plenty. Under modern conditions of overnutrition, chronic excess fructose drives features of metabolic syndrome. Emerging evidence further links fructose to cancer and dementia. Here we review the biochemical, molecular …

Severe, Non-Apneic Respiratory Dysfunction And Hypoxia Following Generalized Convulsive Seizures, Haley E Pysick, Rup K Sainju, Roshni Nair, Deidre N Dragon, Eduardo Bravo, Laura Vilella, Xiaojin Li, Samden D Lhatoo, George B Richerson, Brian K Gehlbach

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Objective: Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a devastating consequence of some generalized convulsive seizures (GCS). Recent work has focused on seizure related apnea as a biomarker of SUDEP risk, frequently without characterizing the adequacy of non-apneic ventilation or identifying other dysfunctional breathing patterns. We hypothesized that GCS frequently induce immediate, severe, non-apneic respiratory dysfunction that can induce critical hypoxia and bradycardia and sought to characterize breathing patterns after GCS.

Methods: Adult patients admitted to an epilepsy monitoring unit were studied. The effects of GCS on breathing and heart rate were analyzed using nasal pressure transducers, chest and abdominal …

Optimized Ultrasound Imaging Of Phase-Change Nanodroplets, Charles R Dyall, Dmitry Nevozhay, Andy Liu, Trevor M Mitcham, George J Lu, Konstantin V Sokolov, Richard R Bouchard

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Phase-change nanodroplets (PCNDs) continue to generate significant research interest due to their potential to extravasate into tissue, to be targeted for molecular imaging and drug delivery, and to undergo an induced phase-change to "activated" microbubbles (MBs) for ultrasound (US) imaging. To accurately quantify molecular markers, however, one assumes a consistent proportion of PCNDs in a region of interest (ROI) are stably activated and imaged. Herein we present a framework for developing a diagnostic sequence that is optimized for PCND activation uniformity, contrast, and acquisition time. To develop this framework, activation was examined at three scales of increasing complexity: single, adjacent, …

Design, setting, and participants: This retrospective cohort study used electronic health record data from 58 hospitals and affiliated clinics in 4 US regions, from 2017 to 2025. Adults (aged ≥18 years) with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection or a COVID-19 diagnosis code …

Ucva Ontology: Standardizing Local Context Factors To Support The Analysis Of Unwarranted Clinical Variation, Apollo Mcowiti, Xubing Hao, Rebecca Z Lin, Laila Rasmy-Bekhet, Cui Tao, Susan Fenton

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Objectives: Unwarranted clinical variation (UCV), defined as care provided to a patient that is not proportional to the patient's needs, clinical characteristics, or preferences, results in negative patient outcomes. UCV detection is performed to compare healthcare outcomes across regions or organizations and reduce UCV incidences. However, the lack of standardized UCV concepts and the local context factors hinder the interoperability of UCV analyses between organizations. Currently, UCV analysis relies on centralized analysis, posing challenges due to the proprietary nature of an organization's healthcare and operational data. Standardizing analysis factors enables interoperable analyses by establishing a common context between organizations. This …

Growth Hormone Pathway As A Prognostic And Therapeutic Biomarker In Patients With Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treated With Radiation Therapy, Joe R Eid, Safa Kaseb, Lianchun Xiao, Ryan Sun, Mahesh Kumar Kannan, Manal Hassan, Asif Rashid, Hop S Tran Cao, Hesham M Amin, Eugene J Koay

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Purpose: Radiation therapy (RT) has emerged as an effective local therapy option for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and is associated with improved overall survival (OS). However, some patients still have poor outcomes after RT, and biomarkers are needed to stratify prognostic groups. High circulating growth hormone (GH) levels promote HCC proliferation and survival and are associated with aggressive disease. In this study, we evaluated whether pretreatment GH levels are associated with OS and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients who underwent RT for unresectable HCC.

Methods and materials: Patients undergoing RT for HCC during 2017-2023 were identified from a …

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of death worldwide, underscoring the need for improved strategies in diagnosis, treatment, and disease modeling. Traditional in vitro models often fall short in replicating human CV physiology, prompting efforts to advance cardiac tissue engineering and computational modeling. Among these, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has emerged as a transformative tool, enabling the creation of biomimetic CV constructs that more faithfully replicate native tissue structure and function. However, challenges persist in achieving appropriate mechanical properties and long-term performance of engineered CV constructs. Computational modeling offers powerful solutions to assist with these challenges, providing predictive insights into …

Estrogen As A Therapeutic Agent: Targeting Endotheliopathy And Coagulopathy In Trauma, Niruktha Raghavan, Mira Patel, Bryan A Cotton, Julia Coleman, Donald Jenkins

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Background: Traumatic injury remains a leading cause of death, often due to uncontrolled hemorrhage and trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC). TIC is critically triggered by the endotheliopathy of trauma, involving endothelial cell injury and glycocalyx degradation. Despite conventional advances, the stable casualty rate underscores the urgent need for new precision resuscitation strategies that acknowledge factors like biological sex.

Design: The central hypothesis is that estrogen confers a survival advantage in hormonally active females through a dual action: endothelial cell stabilization (halting glycocalyx shedding) and its inherent procoagulant effect. The analysis assesses the therapeutic potential of both exogenous estrogen and female-derived blood products …

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Background: Ascariasis, caused by the parasitic roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides, is one of the most common helminthic infections globally. Spread by contaminated soil through the fecal-oral route, A. lumbricoides typically infects the small intestine and has rarely been reported to infect the stomach.

Case summary: We describe an unusual case of a male in his 30s with a history of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) who immigrated from Colombia and who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and colonoscopy for further evaluation of abdominal pain. He was incidentally found to have a female Ascaris worm in his stomach that was retrieved during the EGD.

Dolutegravir Developmental Toxicity Is Mitigated By Magnesium And Folate In Zebrafish Embryos, Robert M Cabrera, Ahmed Mohamed, Ryoko Minowa, Katheryn A Neugebauer, Daniel A Gorelick

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Integrase strand transfer inhibitors have transformed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) therapy, yet the widely prescribed drug dolutegravir (DTG) has been linked to developmental toxicity, and its teratogenic mechanism remains unclear. Here, we used zebrafish to dissect DTG toxicity during early vertebrate development. DTG exposure from 2-4 h post-fertilization (hpf) to 24 hpf produced high mortality and abnormal morphology. Co-treatment with folates partially restored normal morphology, whereas calcium had no effect. Strikingly, supplementation with magnesium (Mg) partially rescued DTG-exposed embryos, implicating Mg availability in protection. In competitive binding assays, Mg increased binding of folate to purified folate receptor (FOLR1) by 30% …
