Murine and human immune systems differ significantly, particularly within the myeloid lineage. Humanized mice, generated by transplanting human hematopoietic stem, progenitor cells into genetically modified mice, are invaluable to study human immune development and function in vivo. However, a major limitation of current models is suboptimal myelopoiesis, particularly lack of functional human neutrophils, hampering the modeling of human immune responses and chronic diseases. Here, we describe a humanized mouse model, named MaGIC for genes replaced, in the

Infections with nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) are on the rise. Here, we investigated an uncommon NTM infection, by M. haemophilum (Mh, n = 4), from a shared geographic location in the United States. All patients had underlying immunosuppressive conditions or treatments. We identified that all these individuals had a nonsynonymous mutation in GATA2 gene, which was absent in healthy controls (HCs, n = 4) from the same geographic area (Missouri, USA). Whole blood from these individuals had attenuated cytokine responses to Mh stimulation for IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, MIP-1α and MIP-1β, but not to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) or another NTM, M. abscessus.

MraY is an essential bacterial enzyme for peptidoglycan synthesis in cell walls and serves as a promising but unrealized target for developing effective antibacterial drugs. Nature has provided a remarkable array of nucleoside inhibitors of MraY, and researchers have skillfully refined these structures to develop inhibitors that effectively mimic natural products. Yet, both natural products and their synthetic variants often face challenges regarding inadequate

Can Predictive And Functional Methods Locate The Dysplastic Hip Joint Center?, Michael Harris, Emma C. Behrman, Keith R. Lohse, Molly C. Shepherd, Bruce A. Macwilliams, Erin M. Mannen

2020-Current year OA Pubs

BACKGROUND: Properly characterizing biomechanics in populations with known hip deformities, such as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), requires accurately identifying the hip joint center (HJC). Many studies have assessed the accuracy or repeatability of predictive and functional methods to locate the HJC in normally shaped hips, but not for hips with DDH.

RESEARCH QUESTION: For patients with DDH, which of three common functional and four common predictive HJC methods is most accurate compared to a magnetic-resonance-imaging-based anatomic method?

METHODS: HJC method accuracy was calculated as the resultant vector distance from the anatomic HJCs. Bias was calculated as distance errors …

Human Single-Neuron Activity Is Modulated By Intracranial Theta Burst Stimulation Of The Basolateral Amygdala, Justin M Campbell, Shuo Wang, Lawrence N Eisenman, James Swift, Tao Xie, Peter Brunner, Jon Timothy Willie, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Direct electrical stimulation of the human brain has been used for numerous clinical and scientific applications. At present, however, little is known about how intracranial stimulation affects activity at the microscale. In this study, we recorded intracranial EEG data from a cohort of patients with medically refractory epilepsy as they completed a visual recognition memory task. During the memory task, brief trains of intracranial theta burst stimulation (TBS) were delivered to the basolateral amygdala (BLA). Using simultaneous microelectrode recordings, we isolated neurons in the hippocampus, amygdala, orbitofrontal cortex, and anterior cingulate cortex and tested whether stimulation enhanced or suppressed firing …

Salvage Therapies For First Relapse Of Shh Medulloblastoma In Early Childhood, Craig Erker, Mohamed S Abdelbaki, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

BACKGROUND: Sonic hedgehog (SHH) medulloblastoma is the most common molecular group of infant and early childhood medulloblastoma (iMB) and has no standard of care at relapse. This work aimed to evaluate the post-relapse survival (PRS) and explore prognostic factors of patients with nodular desmoplastic (ND) and/or SHH iMB.

METHODS: This international retrospective study included 147 subjects diagnosed with relapsed ND/SHH iMB between 1995 and 2017, < 6 years old at original diagnosis, and treated without initial craniospinal irradiation (CSI). Univariable and multivariable Cox models with propensity score analyses were used to assess PRS for those in the curative intent cohort.

RESULTS: The 3-year PRS was 61.6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 52.2-69.6). The median age at relapse was 3.4 years (interquartile range [IQR], 2.6-4.1). Those with local relapse (40.8%) more often received salvage treatment with surgery …

Notch1 Reverses Immune Suppression In Small Cell Lung Cancer Through Reactivation Of Sting, Yoo Sun Kim, Haobin Chen, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Downregulation of antigen presentation and lack of immune infiltration are defining features of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), limiting response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). While a high-MHC class I, immune-inflamed subset benefits from ICB, underlying mechanisms of immune response in SCLC have yet to be elucidated. Here we show that in the IMpower133 clinical trial, high, but not low, NOTCH1 expression was significantly associated with longer survival with the addition of ICB to chemotherapy among approximately 80% of SCLC patients with NE-enriched tumors (ASCL1-enriched, HR 0.39, P = 0.0012; NEUROD1-enriched, HR 0.44, P = 0.024).

Development Of A Patient-Centered Outcome Tool For Blepharospasm: A Stepwise Modified Delphi Study, Brian D Berman, Laura Wright, Joel S Perlmutter, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Blepharospasm (BSP) is characterized by excessive orbicularis oculi muscle activity leading to abnormal blinking and involuntary eyelid closure. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injections are the main treatment for BSP, but they only partially and transiently relieve symptoms, leading to a waxing and waning therapeutic response. A patient-centered outcome (PCO) tool that measures BSP symptoms in a simple and efficient way could inform the development of better treatments. Using a stepwise modified Delphi approach, potential PCO items were first identified using the Dystonia Coalition Database with data from over 200 individuals with BSP who had provided responses to existing clinical assessment scales. …

Endothelin B Receptor Inhibition Rescues Aging-Dependent Neuronal Regenerative Decline, Rui Feng, Sarah F Rosen, Irshad Ansari, Sebastian John, Michael B Thomsen, Oshri Avraham, Cedric G Geoffroy, Valeria Cavalli

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Peripheral sensory neurons regenerate their axons after injury to regain function, but this ability declines with age. The mechanisms behind this decline are not fully understood. While excessive production of endothelin 1 (ET-1), a potent vasoconstrictor, is linked to many diseases that increase with age, the role of ET-1 and its receptors in axon regeneration is unknown. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we show that satellite glial cells (SGCs), which completely envelop the sensory neuron soma residing in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG), express the endothelin B receptor (ETBR), while ET-1 is expressed by endothelial cells. Inhibition of ETBR ex vivo …
