BACKGROUND: Several observational studies have supported the use of conscious sedation (CS) for endovascular thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke and associated general anesthesia (GA) with poor functional outcomes. Recently, few randomized controlled trials have shown no difference in the functional outcomes between GA and CS. The aim of this paper is to compare the outcomes of GA versus CS in patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing mechanical thrombectomy in the MOST (Multi-arm Optimization of Stroke Thrombolysis) trial.

METHODS: Patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke under GA or CS in the MOST trial were included. The …

Optimization of prophylactic vaccine regimens to elicit strong, long-lasting immunity is an urgent need highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Stronger vaccine immunogenicity is frequently reported in individuals living in high-income countries compared to individuals living in low- and middle-income countries. While numerous host genetic and immune factors may influence vaccine responses, geographic restrictions to vaccine effectiveness may also be influenced by the intestinal microbiota, which modulates host immune systems. However, the potential role of the gut microbiota on responses to HIV-1 vaccines has not yet been explored. We analyzed the bacteriome by targeted 16S sequencing and the virome by virus-like …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the prevailing cause of age-associated dementia worldwide. Current standard of care relies on antibody-based immunotherapy. However, antibody-based approaches carry risks for patients, and their effects on cognition are marginal. Increasing evidence suggests that T cells contribute to AD onset and progression. Unlike the cytotoxic effects of CD8

Animals must balance behavioral goals with the energetic costs of movement. How such trade-offs are implemented algorithmically during natural behavior, and how they adapt to changing energetic constraints, remains poorly understood. Here we show that larval zebrafish adjust their motor strategies during prey hunting to minimize energy expenditure. Using high-speed video tracking and 3D computational fluid dynamics simulations, we quantified the energy costs (in Joules) of different movement types across three developmental stages. While the structure of discrete movement types ("bouts") remained stable with age, their selection probabilities changed depending on their energetic cost, such that more expensive bouts were …

Despite advances in immunotherapy, the prognosis for patients with glioblastoma (GBM) remains poor. The efficacy of GBM-targeted immunotherapies is limited by the paucity of functional T cells in the tumor microenvironment, a consequence of the local and systemic immunosuppression prevalent in patients with GBM. To overcome these challenges, here we develop a treatment strategy we term "expand and pull," which uses systemic administration of rhIL-7-hyFc, a long-acting recombinant human interleukin-7, to increase peripheral T cell abundance ("expand"), followed by intratumoral oncolytic virus treatment to recruit these cells to the tumor microenvironment ("pull"). We show that rhIL-7-hyFc improves the efficacy of …

DNA repair mechanisms are essential for cellular development and function. In post-mitotic neurons, deficiencies in DNA damage response proteins can lead to severe neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders. One highly conserved factor involved in DNA repair is MutS Homolog 2 (Msh2), which is responsible for correcting base-base mismatches and insertion/deletion loops during cell proliferation. However, its role in mature neurons remains poorly understood. This study investigates the impact of Msh2 loss on sensory processing in mice. Using electrophysiological and molecular assays, we identifiedsignificant deficits in cortical and thalamic sound processing in Msh2

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease associated with genetic, biological, and mechanical risk factors that act, in part, to alter chondrocyte homeostasis. Our recent exome sequencing studies identified a damaging genetic variant in COL6A3, a monomeric unit of collagen type VI and a distinguishing component of the pericellular matrix (PCM) of articular cartilage, a transducer of mechanical and biochemical signals for the chondrocyte. To study the effect of this genetic variant, human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived chondrocytes, genetically edited to harbor the COL6A3 mutation, were used as an in vitro model to investigate chondrocyte mechanobiology and pathobiology. The COL6A3 …

Association Of Germline Variants With Kras-Mutation Status In Colorectal Cancer, Nijole Pollock Tjader, Yin Cao, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Somatic mutations in KRAS are a common driver of colorectal cancer (CRC) and present at different frequencies by race, sex, tumor site, ethnicity, and genetic similarity. Inherited germline variants may influence tumor somatic mutation frequency by altering mutation or DNA repair processes or altering cellular, immunological and/or microenvironmental responses after a mutation. We hypothesized that the germline genetic background modifies somatic KRAS mutation frequency in CRC. To test this, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 7071 individuals with CRC, using KRAS mutation status as the phenotype. Single-nucleotide variants were chosen for validation analyses based on P values from …

Large-scale brain activity reflects changes in attention. To understand how, we tested a hypothesis that the geometry of neural dynamics on the cortical attractor landscape, or movement along its "hills and valleys", reflects attentional states. A dynamical systems model separating intrinsic dynamics from stimulus-driven influences was fit to fMRI data collected during rest, tasks, and movie-watching. Model simulations revealed a set of attractors aligned with canonical functional brain networks. The speed and direction of neural trajectories toward these attractors varied systematically with attentional states over time and across contexts. When participants were paying attention to effortful tasks, neural dynamics converged …

Sting Activation Induces Cytotoxic And Immune Responses In Meningiomas Via Inflammatory Cell Death Pathways, Mark W Youngblood, Alexander H Stegh, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Meningiomas are common tumors of the central nervous system that are typically treated with surgery or radiation, but lack established systemic therapies. Activation of the stimulator of interferon genes pathway with an agonist such as 8803 can trigger anti-tumor immune responses. Using integrated molecular approaches, here we show that this pathway is targetable in both neoplastic and immune populations within the meningioma microenvironment. Meningioma tumor cells exhibit promoter hypomethylation and increased chromatin accessibility of the STING genomic locus, associated with robust expression of this gene. Treatment of diverse patient meningiomas ex vivo with 8803 induces direct tumor cytotoxicity through inflammatory …

The inwardly rectifying potassium channel Kir7.1 is essential for the physiological function of diverse tissues, including the retinal pigment epithelium and the gestational myometrium. Loss-of-function mutations in KCNJ13, which encodes Kir7.1, or conditional ablation of Kir7.1 in the retinal pigment epithelium, lead to early-onset vision loss. Despite strong genetic evidence supporting Kir7.1 as a therapeutic target, its regulation by endogenous ligands-beyond phosphoinositides-remains poorly understood. Here, we report cryo-electron microscopy structures of human Kir7.1 in multiple functional states at resolutions ranging from 2.8 Å to 4.0 Å. These structures uncover the molecular basis of Kir7.1 modulation by PI

Heme And Hemozoin Induce Platelet Cell Death Through Upr-Induced Apoptosis And Ferroptosis In Vivax Malaria, Milena Tavares Gomes, Robert A Campbell, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Malaria is a highly prevalent infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium intraerythrocytic replication leads to hemolysis-driven intermittent febrile crises in patients. In addition, the lysis of unparasitized red blood cells contributes to anemia and endotoxemia. Because thrombocytopenia is an important feature of vivax and severe falciparum malaria, we hypothesized that increased hemolysis in malaria contributes to severe thrombocytopenia by releasing endogenous and parasite toxins (ie, heme and hemozoin) capable of inducing programmed cell death in platelets. Using complementary biochemical, ultrastructural, pharmacological, and molecular approaches, we examined response to stress and cell death pathways that were elevated in the transcriptome …

Ascites, or a pathologic accumulation of intra-abdominal fluid, is a key feature of intraperitoneally disseminating cancers, such as ovarian cancer. This pathological fluid buildup can influence the adhesive abilities of ovarian cancer cells, as they spread throughout the abdominal cavity to form metastatic implants on organs lined with a specialized monolayer of mesothelial cells. Robust methods for assessing the impact of fluid shear stress on this cell-cell interaction are lacking. Here, we develop and characterize a novel microfluidic device that allows for the determination of the attachment of ovarian tumor cells to mesothelial cells under the influence of fluid flow. …

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) exhibits a profoundly immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment (TME) dominated by inflammatory monocytes (IMs) and tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs), which restrict adaptive immunity and drive resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Recruitment of CCR2⁺ IMs by tumour-derived CCL2 is a central mechanism underlying TAM accumulation. Conventional gemcitabine (GEM) and small-molecule CCR2 inhibitors provide limited benefit due to poor intratumoural delivery, transient target engagement, and compensatory myeloid recruitment. METHODS: We engineered a CCR2-targeted nanotheranostic by conjugating a CCR2-binding peptide (ECL1i) and GEM onto ultrasmall copper nanoclusters (CuNCs-ECL1i-GEM; C-E-G). Therapeutic efficacy and immune remodelling were evaluated using orthotopic subcutaneous and …
