Imatinib mesylate (IM) and other BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BCR-ABLi) are the mainstay of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) treatment. However, activation of circumventing signaling pathways and quiescence may limit BCR-ABLi efficacy. CDK8/19 Mediator kinases have been implicated in the emergence of non-genetic drug resistance. Dissecting the effects of pharmacological CDK8/19 inhibition on CML survival in response to BCR-ABLi, we found that a selective, non-toxic CDK8/19 inhibitor (CDK8/19i) Senexin B (SenB) and other CDK8/19i sensitized K562 cells to different BCR-ABLi via attenuation of cell cycle arrest. In particular, SenB prevented IM-induced upregulation of genes that negatively regulate cell cycle progression. SenB …

Identifying Barriers For Community Pharmacies As Vaccines For Children (Vfc) Providers In Rural Alabama: Opportunities For Solutions, Myra Bajwa

Evaluation And Optimization Of Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy Laboratory Monitoring For Beta-Lactam Antibiotics., Stephanie Subart Pharmd, Trent Towne Pharmd, Bcps, Sarah Pehlke Pharmd, Bcps, Robert D. Beckett Pharmd, Bcps

Pharmacy Residency

Presented at the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting. New Orleans, LA

This evaluation found that among patients who experienced eosinophilia, only one exhibited signs of hypersensitivity, while seven required a change in therapy. This indicates that while eosinophilia is a concern, its direct clinical impact may be limited for the majority of patients. In the cohort experiencing elevated LFTs including AST, ALT, or alkaline phosphatase levels, fewer than 2% necessitated a change in therapy. This low rate suggests that routine LFT monitoring may not always correlate with significant clinical decisions, raising questions about the necessity of frequent lab draws.

The Differential Effects Of Camp Mobilizing Agents On Tgf-Β-Induced Extracellular Matrix In Human Lung-Derived Fibroblasts: Insights Into Therapeutic Targets For Lung Fibrosis, Sarah Orfanos, Brian T. Deeney, Gaoyuan Cao, Nikhil Karmacharya, Anjani Ravi, Cynthia J. Koziol-White, Qi Yang, Rennolds S. Ostrom, Reynold A. Panettieri Jr.

Pharmacy Faculty Articles and Research

Background

Injury-repair responses typically induce tissue or organ scarring. Generally, cAMP-mobilizing agents inhibit the activation of fibroblasts and deposition of extracellular matrix. Some but not all cAMP-mobilizing agents inhibit fibrosis. Evidence suggests that inhaled treprostinil, a prostacyclin (IP) analog, increases intracellular cAMP levels [cAMP]I, and slows the decline in pulmonary function in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, the molecular mechanisms by which cAMP-mobilizing agents, including treprostinil, alter the expression of matrix proteins in human lung fibroblasts (HLF) remain unclear. Unlike other Gαs -coupled receptors, we posit that the antifibrotic properties of treprostinil are driven by cAMP-mobilizing-dependent and -independent …
