Macrophages infiltrate solid tumors and either support survival or induce cancer cell death through phagocytosis or cytotoxicity. To uncover regulators of macrophage cytotoxicity towards cancer cells, we perform two co-culture CRISPR screens using CAR-macrophages targeting different tumor associated antigens. Both identify ATG9A as an important regulator of this cytotoxic activity. In vitro and in vivo, ATG9A depletion in cancer cells sensitizes them to macrophage-mediated killing. Proteomic and lipidomic analyses reveal that ATG9A deficiency impairs the cancer cell response to macrophage-induced plasma membrane damage through defective lysosomal exocytosis, reduced ceramide production, and disrupted caveolar endocytosis. Depleting non-cytotoxic macrophages using CSF1R inhibition …

In a translationally relevant ovine model of gestational hyperandrogenism we have previously reported cardiometabolic disruption in female offspring (males were not extensively studied). We hypothesized that gestational hyperandrogenism would lead to sex-specific disruption in offspring's growth, cytokine and metabolic milieu, potential mediators of cardiometabolic disease (CMD). 100 mg Testosterone propionate (T) or vehicle (C) was administered intramuscularly twice weekly between gestational days (GD) 30-90. Two cohorts of offspring were generated, including both males and females. Fetal weight and systemic metabolomics were analyzed in the fetal cohort (GD120). Growth trajectory, systemic cytokines, and metabolomics were analyzed in the postnatal cohort. Data …

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of hereditary disorders that affects collagen synthesis. In the wrist, pain and midcarpal laxity may affect up to 70% of EDS patients. The mainstay treatment of midcarpal instability in patients with ligamentous injury but not EDS includes orthotics, physiotherapy, and activity modification. These methods of conservative treatment may be unsuccessful in controlling instability in the longer term. Using autologous tendon for reconstructing midcarpal instability in patients with EDS carries the risk of loosening over time due to intrinsic abnormalities in collagen metabolism. In this article, we present a novel surgical technique using a cadaveric …

INTRODUCTION: Resuscitative transesophageal echo (rTEE) is a promising adjunct to cardiac arrest resuscitation. However, it is a high-acuity diagnostic tool that is rarely used in this setting and its safety establishment is limited because of low occurrence. High-acuity, low occurrence skills such as rTEE during cardiac arrest inevitably decay. In this study we examined the content and percentage of rTEE skill decay following simulation-based education (SBE).
METHODS: Resuscitative TEE-naïve emergency physicians (EP) were trained using a combination of clinical exposure, web-based didactics, and monthly hands-on sessions with a high-fidelity rTEE simulator for four months. The COVID-19 pandemic created a natural …

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are crucial for comprehending the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways underlying diverse biological processes and disease progression. However, investigating PPIs involving membrane proteins is challenging due to the complexity and heterogeneity of glycosylation. To tackle this challenge, we developed an approach termed glycan-dependent affinity purification coupled with mass spectrometry (GAP-MS), specifically designed to characterize changes in glycoprotein PPIs under varying glycosylation conditions. GAP-MS integrates metabolic control of glycan profiles in cultured cells using small molecules referred to as glycan modifiers with affinity purification followed by mass spectrometry analysis (AP-MS). Here, GAP-MS was applied to characterize and compare …

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness in people over 50. AMD and cardiovascular disease share risk factors including age, impaired lipid metabolism, and extracellular lipid deposition. Because of its importance in age-related diseases, we hypothesize that apolipoprotein M (ApoM), a lipocalin that binds sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), might restore lipid homeostasis and retinal function in AMD. In support, we find that human patients with AMD demonstrate significantly reduced ApoM compared to controls. In mice with impaired retinal cholesterol efflux, ApoM improves retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) function and lipotoxicity in an S1P- and S1P receptor 3-dependent manner. Ultrastructural evidence …

Cancer is rapidly on the rise as a cause of morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, despite the increasing importance of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) as a pillar of cancer therapy, access in these settings lags well behind that in high-income countries (HICs). Increasing the evaluation of ICIs through local clinical trials and demonstration projects, and inclusion in multinational clinical trials is the first step to improving access. In particular, the epidemiology and clinical presentation of cancer in LMICs is often distinct from that in HICs, and the impact of immune checkpoint blockade in these settings …

BACKGROUND: Dysferlin (DYSF) has a crucial role in sarcolemmal repair. While DYSF mutations commonly manifest as limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMDR2) or distal Miyoshi myopathy, atypical manifestations, such as asymptomatic hyperCKemia and pseudometabolic myopathy, are rarely reported. We describe clinical, serologic, radiologic, genetic, and muscle pathology findings of three patients with rare dysferlinopathy phenotypes and long-term follow up in one of them. We also review the literature pertinent to uncommon forms of dysferlinopathy presenting with hyperCKemia and pseudometabolic phenotype.

The clinical neurosciences are in the midst of a renaissance spurred by the development of new therapeutic modalities. Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), in particular, are gaining interest for treating neurological diseases owing to their capacity to sustain inhibition of nearly any gene target. However, to be effective, siRNA therapies must achieve delivery and on-target gene silencing activity in specific sites and cells in the brain. To this end, we developed a lipid-siRNA conjugate (L2-siRNA) that transports effectively throughout the brain when injected into cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We provide a detailed examination of regional bulk tissue gene silencing in mice, highlighting …

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) represent a heterogenous group of tumors with significant inter- and intra-patient variability. Once considered to be rare, neuroendocrine neoplasms are being increasingly recognized through the advent of advanced diagnostic techniques, which may be contributing to the significant increase in the incidence and detection rate of these tumors. NENs can be classified into well differentiated and poorly differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) or neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs). The proliferation rate of NETs can vary from Ki-67 1-55%. In addition, the SSTR expression can vary significantly. Because of this high "heterogeneity", their detection and characterization have become essential to disease management, …

SARS-CoV-2 encodes numerous virulence factors, yet their precise mechanisms of action remain unknown. We provide evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 nonstructural protein 15 (nsp15) enhances viral virulence by suppressing the production of viral double-stranded (dsRNA), a potent inducer of antiviral signaling. The viral variants lacking nsp15 endoribonuclease activity elicited higher innate immune responses and exhibited reduced replication in human stem cell-derived lung alveolar type II epithelial cells, as well as in the lungs of infected hamsters. Consistently, these variants caused significantly less weight loss and mortality compared to wild-type (WT) virus in K18-hACE2 mice. Mechanistically, the cells infected with nsp15 mutants …

UNLABELLED: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a risk factor for subsequent invasive breast cancer (IBC). To identify events in DCIS that lead to invasive cancer, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on DCIS lesions and matched normal breast tissue. Inferred copy-number variation was used to identify neoplastic epithelial cells from clinical specimens, which contained a mixture of DCIS and normal ducts. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated intratumoral clonal heterogeneity that was associated with significant gene expression differences. Classification of epithelial cells into mammary cell states revealed that subclones contained a mixture of cell states, suggesting an ongoing pattern of differentiation after neoplastic …

The prevalence of obesity in the United States has continued to increase over the past several decades. A growing concern is that transgenerational effects of obesity negatively impact physiologic functions. We showed that consumption of a high fat, high sugar "Western" diet (WD) decreased the density of both gut innate (Paneth cells) and adaptive immune cells (intraepithelial lymphocytes; IEL). We asked whether consumption of WD impacts gut mucosal immunity in the offspring. WD-mediated Paneth cell loss was reversible, whereas IEL loss was not. However, the overall composition of the fecal microbiome and response to infection were defined by the diet …
