Abstract:
The cytotoxicity of cisplatin (cDDP) is enhanced when co-administered with ethacrynic acid (EA), a glutathione S-transferase (GST) inhibitor.APt IV–EA conjugate containing a cDDP core and two axial ethacrynate ligands (compound 1) was shown to be an excellent inhibitor of GST, but did not readily release a PtII species to exert a synergistic cytotoxic effect. In this study,aredesigned PtIV construct composed of a cDDP core with one axial ethacrynate ligand and one axial hydroxido ligand (compound 2) was prepared and shown to overcome the limitations of compound 1. The EA ligand in 2 is readily released in vitro together with a cytotoxic PtII species derived from cisplatin, working together to inhibit cell proliferation in cDDP-resistant human ovarian cancer cells. The in vitro activity translates well in vivo with 2, showing effective (~80%) inhibition of tumor growth in a human ovarian carcinoma A2780 tumor model, while showing considerably lower toxicity than cisplatin, thus valid...

Abstract:
Up to 49% of certain types of cancer are attributed to obesity, and potential mechanisms include overproduction of hormones, adipokines, and insulin. Cytotoxic immune cells, including natural killer (NK) cells and CD8+ T cells, are important in tumor surveillance, but little is known about the impact of obesity on immunosurveillance. Here, we show that obesity induces robust peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-driven lipid accumulation in NK cells, causing complete ‘paralysis’ of their cellular metabolism and trafficking. Fatty acid administration, and PPARα and PPARδ (PPARα/δ) agonists, mimicked obesity and inhibited mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR)-mediated glycolysis. This prevented trafficking of the cytotoxic machinery to the NK cell–tumor synapse. Inhibiting PPARα/δ or blocking the transport of lipids into mitochondria reversed NK cell metabolic paralysis and restored cytotoxicity. In vivo, NK cells had blunted antitumor responses and failed to reduce tumor...

Abstract:
A multitude of diverse microorganisms, termed the microbiota, reside in the gut, respi-ratory tract, skin, and genital tract of humans and other animals. Recent advances inmetagenomic sequencing and bioinformatics have enabled detailed characterization ofthese vital microbial communities. Studies in animal models have uncovered vital previ-ously unrecognized roles for the microbiota in normal function of the immune responses,and when perturbed, in the pathogenesis of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract andlungs, but also at distant sites in the body including the brain. The composition of gutand respiratory microbiota can influence systemic inflammatory responses that medi-ate asthma, allergy, inflammatory bowel disease, obesity-related diseases, and neurode-velopmental or neurodegenerative conditions. Experiments in mouse models as wellas emerging clinical studies have revealed that therapeutic manipulation of the micro-biota, using fecal microbiota transplantation, probiotics, ...

An exploration of the prognostic utility of shortened dynamic imaging protocols for PET-FDG scans
(2019)
Wu, Qi; O'Sullivan, Finbarr; Muzi, Mark; Mankoff, David
Abstract:
Standard whole-body clinical fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG)-PET scans typically involve imaging for around 15 minutes about 60 minutes after tracer injection. The scan duration is often the critical constraint limiting patient through-put. Scans taken long after tracer injection restrict the ability to assess vascular and perfusion information that might be revealed by the early pattern of tracer uptake. On the other hand, early scanning may compromise the recovery of the late time uptake (SUV) which in many contexts has well established prognostic value. In this study, we explore the potential for short-duration dynamic scans, acquired immediately after tracer injection, to recover information that can predict late-stage uptake of FDG. The work involves re-analysis of existing series of dynamic brain and breast tumour imaging data to simulate the type of information that would arise from early and late scanning. Using a collection of machine learning techniques (including random forests...

Multimodal Microscopy Distinguishes Extracellular Aggregation and Cellular Uptake of Single-Walled Carbon Nanohorns
(2020)
Devereux, Stephen J.; Cheung, Shane; Daly, Harrison C.; O'Shea, Donal F.; Quinn, Susan J.
Abstract:
The low toxicity, high surface area, and ease of functionalisation of carbon nanohorns (CNH) makes them attractive systems for cellular imaging, diagnostics and therapeutics. However, challenges remain for the biomedical translation of these and other nanomaterials. A significant task is tuning the surface chemistry to achieve optimal cellular interactions. Herein, we combine real-time fluorescent imaging of nanoparticle cellular uptake and real-time differential interference contrast (DIC) imaging of extracellular media to monitor a) nanoparticle/nanoparticle and b) nanoparticle/cell interactions for CNHs covalently modified with an OFF/ON near-IR dye, the fluorescence of which is switched OFF in extracellular environments and triggered upon cellular internalisation. CHN samples modified with different loadings of the hydrophobic dye are taken as a simple model of drug-loaded nanoparticle systems. The punctate fluorescence suggests the CNHs are delivered to lysosomes and other vesi...

The role of the liver X receptor in mitotane therapy in adrenocortical carcinoma
(2020)
Warde, Kate
Abstract:
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare, aggressive malignancy with limited treatment options. The Liver X Receptor α (LXRα) is highly expressed in the adrenal cortex, and functions to regulate cholesterol and lipid homeostasis. Proposed herein, is a novel therapeutic approach, through modulating intracellular free cholesterol (FC), via LXRα inhibition, in combination with current first line chemotherapeutic mitotane. High expression of LXRα was demonstrated in both H295R (primary, treatment-sensitive) and MUC-1 (metastatic, treatment-resistant) ACC cell lines. In both models, LXRα inhibitors; GSK2033 and SR9243, successfully decreased efflux pump mRNA expression. Combination treatment using mitotane and LXRα inhibition demonstrated more effective induction of apoptotic cell death, at usually sub-therapeutic concentrations of mitotane in H295R. Whilst LXRα inhibition potentiated mitotane-induced cell death in MUC-1, this was only observed at supra-therapeutic concentrations. Howeve...

A glycotherapeutic approach to functionalize biomaterials-based systems
(2020)
Gadekar, Anuja; Bhowmick, Sirsendu; Pandit, Abhay
Abstract:
In addition to being one of the primary building block materials of living cells, glycans are also favorable candidates for therapeutic applications. In the mid-20th century, the progress of glycans in the drug discovery field became surpassed by protein and DNA-focused treatments. However, the emergence of new analytical tools and methods to synthesize structurally specific glycans has encouraged and motivated the scientific community toward the development of glycan-based therapeutics. This review discusses the reemergence of glycan-based agents in the last decade and the technical strategies that played a key role in bringing the glycan-based treatments into the limelight of modern medicine. The review also includes the application of native glycans as the therapeutic agents along with the chemically engineered cell surface glycans and proteins to meet the preclinical and clinical scenario. Glycan-based therapeutic materials hold a huge potential that can be harnessed to meet the...

Perceptions of Light Pollution and its Impacts: Results of an Irish Citizen Science Survey
(2020)
Espey, Brian
Abstract:
Background: Light pollution is increasingly an area of concern for health and quality of life research. Somewhat surprisingly, there are relatively few descriptions of perceptions of light pollution in the literature. The current study examined such perceptions in a Irish sample. Methods: A survey was circulated as part of a citizen science initiative of a national newspaper; the survey included questions regarding night sky brightness and the impact of light at night on sleep and animal behaviour. Complete responses from 462 respondents were analysed. Results: Urban location was, as anticipated, associated with reported brighter night skies, and public lighting was reported as the main source of light at night for urban settings, whilst neighbours? domestic lighting was the most commonly reported source for rural settings. Respondents from rural settings were more likely to report that light at night impinged on sleep, whilst city dwellers were more likely to report recent changes ...

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) in the Management of Glioblastoma Multiforme
(2020)
O'Connor, Dominic; Caulfield, Brian; Wright, Sarah; Lennon, Olive
Abstract:
Background and Purpose: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is associated with debilitating physical and psychosocial side effects. Voluntary exercise recommended as an adjunct therapy is often limited by physical and neurological impairments. The potential effect of aerobic and muscle-strengthening neuromuscular electrical stimulation (termed concurrent NMES) exercise (4 weeks, 2-5 times/week, 30 minutes to 1 hour) delivered to the lower limbs in patients with GBM has not been examined. This case study explores the effect of a short-term concurrent NMES intervention progressing to NMES and supervised voluntary exercise (aerobic and resistance training) over a 10-week period in a patient with GBM undergoing adjuvant treatment. Case Description: The case was a 61-year-old man with GBM who had completed radiotherapy treatment (40 Gy) and was undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group level was 3. Assessments were conducted at baseline, and at weeks 4 and 10 of the ...

Diverse Immunoregulatory Roles of Oxysterols - The Oxidized Cholesterol Metabolites
(2020)
Finlay, David
Abstract:
Intermediates of both cholesterol synthesis and cholesterol metabolism can have diverse roles in the control of cellular processes that go beyond the control of cholesterol homeostasis. For example, oxidized forms of cholesterol, called oxysterols have functions ranging from the control of gene expression, signal transduction and cell migration. This is of particular interest in the context of immunology and immunometabolism where we now know that metabolic processes are key towards shaping the nature of immune responses. Equally, aberrant metabolic processes including altered cholesterol homeostasis contribute to immune dysregulation and dysfunction in pathological situations. This review article brings together our current understanding of how oxysterols affect the control of immune responses in diverse immunological settings.

Resazurin-based assay for quantifying living cells during alkaline phosphatase (ALP) release
(2020)
Balbaied, Thanih; Moore, Eric
Abstract:
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an important reporter gene in the gene expression system, therefore monitoring cellular behavior including cell viability during ALP release is of significance. This assay produced a quantitative resazurin-based assay for cell viability in embryonic and cancer cells during alkaline phosphatase (ALP) release. A post-confluence culture method was applied to induce ALP in the cells of Balb/c 3T3, A549, MCF-7, and Ht-29. The density of each cell type was optimized using the standard cell culture assay. The main parameters affecting the results of resazurin involve the concentration of resazurin, incubation time, and cell number. The redox reaction, in which resazurin is reduced by the cells, was measured by fluorescence at 544 nm and 590 nm. The obtained data were compared with the hemocytometer assay. ALP release was determined using the optical active substrate p-nitrophenyl phosphate and colorimetric assay.

Abstract:
Innate drug sensitivity in healthy cells aids identification of lineage specific anti-cancer therapies and reveals off-target effects. To characterize the diversity in drug responses in the major hematopoietic cell types, we simultaneously assessed their sensitivity to 71 small molecules utilizing a multi-parametric flow cytometry assay and mapped their proteomic and basal signaling profiles. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering identified distinct drug responses in healthy cell subsets based on their cellular lineage. Compared to other cell types, CD19+ /B and CD56+ /NK cells were more sensitive to dexamethasone, venetoclax and midostaurin, while monocytes were more sensitive to trametinib. Venetoclax exhibited dose-dependent cell selectivity that inversely correlated to STAT3 phosphorylation. Lineage specific effect of midostaurin was similarly detected in CD19+ /B cells from healthy, acute myeloid leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia samples. Comparison of drug responses in ...

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel thionucleosides
(2020)
O'Donovan, Fiona P.; O'Leary, Eileen M.; O'Sullivan, Timothy P.
Abstract:
The search for novel nucleosides has been a major research focus in medicinal chemistry for several decades, particularly given their proven track record in the treatment of viral infections and cancer. As bioisosteres of natural nucleosides, thionucleosides are especially attractive targets as they often display improved biological activity. Furthermore, the replacement of oxygen with sulfur may sometimes be accompanied by interesting changes in pharmacological effect. This update covers recent advances in the preparation of novel thionucleosides, grouped by synthetic strategy. The biological properties of the target thionucleosides are also summarised, in addition to any reported structure activity relationships.

Since the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 pandemic a Global Public Health Emergency, experts in swallowing are seeking guidance on service delivery and clinical procedures. The European Society for Swallowing Disorders provides considerations to support experts in swallowing disorders in clinical practice. During the COVID-19 pandemic, assessment and treatment of patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia should be provided, while at the same time balancing risk of oropharyngeal complications with that of infection of patients and healthcare professionals involved in their management. Elective, non-urgent assessment may be temporarily postponed and patients are triaged to decide whether dysphagia assessment is necessary; instrumental assessment of swallowing is performed only if processing of the instruments can be guaranteed and clinical assessment has not provided enough diagnostic information for treatment prescription. Assessment and management of oropharyngeal dyspha...

Functionalised iron oxide nanoparticles for magnetophoretic transport in the extracellular matrix
(2020)
Lyons, Stephen
Abstract:
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are allowing for new approaches to drug delivery, biomarker capture and are also enabling cancer treatments such as magnetic field hyperthermia and magnetic drug delivery. Applied research into functionalised MNPs is now advancing to in-vivo studies as their unique properties such as magnetic responsiveness and small scale are being exploited to overcome some pre-existing limitations for non-invasive in-vivo applications. One prominent application is magnetophoretic delivery of MNPs within tissue to a desired location in the body. While there has been an increasing interest in magnetophoresis from a fundamental point of view, a detailed picture of how the motion of MNPs is influenced by the characteristics of the surrounding tissue environment is lacking. Addressing this would improve reliability, accuracy and precision of magnetic guidance techniques. By understanding how molecular interactions influence functionalised MNPs interactions with biological...

Strategies for dose reduction with specific clinical indications during computed tomography
(2020)

Abstract:
Increasing integration of computed tomography (CT) into routine patient care has escalated concerns regarding associated radiation exposure. Specific patient cohorts, particularly those with cystic fibrosis (CF) and Crohn's disease, have repeat exposures and thus have an increased risk of high lifetime cumulative effective dose exposures. Thoracic CT is the gold standard imaging method in the diagnosis, assessment and management of pulmonary disease. In the setting of CF, CT demonstrates increased sensitivity compared with pulmonary function tests and chest radiography. Furthermore, in specific cases of Crohn's disease, CT demonstrates diagnostic superiority over magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for radiological evaluation. Low dose CT protocols have proven beneficial in the evaluation of CF, Crohn's disease and renal calculi, and in the follow up of testicular cancer patients. For individuals with chronic conditions warranting frequent radiological follow up, the foc...

Plain packaging of tobacco products: Lessons for the next round of implementing countries
(2020)
Abstract:
Plain packaging addresses the obligations to implement effective packaging and labelling measures under Article 11 of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and to comprehensively ban tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship under FCTC Article 13. There is no need for countries to reinvent the wheel; they can follow the example of other countries with regard to the wording of their legislation as well as arguments and strategies to counteract tobacco industry opposition. There are also valuable resources that countries can use, including plain packaging evidence summaries and toolkits such as the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids? Plain Packaging Toolkit, WHO?s report on the evidence, design and implementation of tobacco product plain packaging17, and Cancer Council Victoria?s Plain Facts. While legal challenges against plain packaging have been unsuccessful, great care is nonetheless required in drawing up legislation. Those involved in drafting plain pack...

UCP3 reciprocally controls CD4+ Th17 and Treg cell differentiation
(2020)
Porter, Richard; Walsh, Patrick; Mills, Kingston
Abstract:
Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) are members of the mitochondrial anion carrier superfamily that can mediate the transfer of protons into the mitochondrial matrix from the intermembrane space. We have previously reported UCP3 expression in thymocytes, mitochondria of total splenocytes and splenic lymphocytes. Here, we demonstrate that Ucp3 is expressed in peripheral naive CD4+ T cells at the mRNA level before being markedly downregulated following activation. Non-polarized, activated T cells (Th0 cells) from Ucp3-/- mice produced significantly more IL-2, had increased expression of CD25 and CD69 and were more proliferative than Ucp3+/+ Th0 cells. The altered IL-2 expression observed between T cells from Ucp3+/+ and Ucp3-/- mice may be a factor in determining differentiation into Th17 or induced regulatory (iTreg) cells. When compared to Ucp3+/+, CD4+ T cells from Ucp3-/- mice had increased FoxP3 expression under iTreg conditions. Conversely, Ucp3-/- CD4+ T cells produced a significantly l...

Abstract:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a popular modality in guiding minimally invasive thermal therapies, due to its advanced, nonionizing, imaging capabilities and its ability to record changes in temperature. A variety of MR thermometry techniques have been developed over the years, and proton resonance frequency (PRF) shift thermometry is the current clinical gold standard to treat a variety of cancers. It is used extensively to guide hyperthermic thermal ablation techniques such as high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and laser-induced thermal therapy (LITT). Essential attributes of PRF shift thermometry include excellent linearity with temperature, good sensitivity, and independence from tissue type. This noninvasive temperature mapping method gives accurate quantitative measures of the temperature evolution inside biological tissues. In this review, the current status and new developments in the fields of MR-guided HIFU and LITT are presented with an emphasis on brea...

Abstract:
The use of NIR-fluorescence imaging to demarcate tumour boundaries for real-time guidance of their surgical resection has a huge untapped potential. However, fluorescence imaging using molecular fluorophores, even with a targeting biomolecule attached, has a major shortcoming of signal interference from non-specific background fluorescence outside the region of interest. This poor selectivity necessitates prolonged time delays to allow clearance of background fluorophore and retention within the tumour prior to image acquisition. In this report, an innovative approach to overcome this issue is described in which cancer targeted off to on bio-responsive NIR-fluorophores are utilised to switch-on first within the tumour. Bio-responsive cRGD, iRGD and PEG conjugates have been synthesised using activated ester/amine or maleimide/thiol couplings to link targeting and fluorophore components. Their off to on emission responses were measured and compared with an always-on nonresponsive cont...

A Real-world Prospective Cohort Study to Examine the Relationship Between Simple Physical Functioning Tests and Complications Following Abdominal Surgery
(2020)
Broderick, Julie
Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The relationship between physical function and the development of complications in people after abdominal surgery is not well known. The objective of this study was to prospectively examine the relationship between simple physical functioning tests and complications following abdominal surgery. METHODS:Participants were recruited from an elective surgery waiting list. The following variables were measured pre-surgery; functional capacity (Six Minute Walk Test, 30 Second Sit to Stand Test), grip strength (hand dynamometer), self-report physical activity [International Physical Activity Questionnaire, (IPAQ)]. At 30 and 60 days post-operatively IPAQ and self-reported recovery were collected by telephone. Data related to complications and length of stay was extracted from the medical chart. RESULTS:Forty-nine participants (25M/18F) were recruited with a mean (SD) age of 59.5 (14.7) years. The complication rate was 41.9% (n?=?18). Factors which differed between the complicati...

Abstract:
There is no doubt thatCOVID-19 has significantly disrupted the course of health and clinical research. In some cases, researchers may have had to arrest data collection or re-design studies to accommodate to COVID-19.However, despite the challenges of carrying out research during COVID-19, researchers in palliative care are conducting research including research on palliative care needs in the context of COVID-19. The pandemic has necessitated online participation in studies, particularly for studies involving patients and caregivers.

Systems level expression correlation of Ras GTPase regulators
(2021)
Besray Unal, E.; Kiel, Christina; Benisty, Hannah; et al.
Abstract:
Background: Proteins of the ubiquitously expressed core proteome are quantitatively correlated across multiple eukaryotic species. In addition, it was found that many protein paralogues exhibit expression anticorrelation, suggesting that the total level of protein with a given functionality must be kept constant. Methods: We performed Spearman's rank correlation analyses of gene expression levels for the RAS GTPase subfamily and their regulatory GEF and GAP proteins across tissues and across individuals for each tissue. A large set of published data for normal tissues from a wide range of species, human cancer tissues and human cell lines was analysed. Results: We show that although the multidomain regulatory proteins of Ras GTPases exhibit considerable tissue and individual gene expression variability, their total amounts are balanced in normal tissues. In a given tissue, the sum of activating (GEFs) and deactivating (GAPs) domains of Ras GTPases can vary considerably, but eac...

The Immunomodulatory Metabolite Itaconate Regulates NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Type I Interferon Signalling
(2021)
Hooftman, Alexander
Abstract:
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a multi-protein complex which activates caspase-1 for the cleavage and release of mature IL-1? and IL-18. Caspase-1 also cleaves gasdermin D, driving a process called pyroptosis. Results from clinical trials have demonstrated the utility of anti-IL-1? therapy in reducing the incidence of cardiovascular events and lung cancer, and blocking IL-1? has shown clinical utility in the treatment of classically IL-1?-driven pathologies such as cryopyrinassociated periodic syndromes (CAPS). There is therefore a strong interest in targeting NLRP3 with small molecules, several of which are in development. Indeed, murine models have implicated the NLRP3 inflammasome in various autoinflammatory diseases, including Alzheimer?s disease, Parkinson?s disease and type I diabetes. Itaconate has emerged as a prominent metabolite in macrophages activated with the gram-negative bacterial product lipopolysaccharide (LPS). It has been shown to elicit immunomodulatory effects via mo...
