GENETIC ANALYSIS OF GLUT10 (SLC2A10) GENE IN PAKISTANI PATIENTS WITH DIABETES MELLITUS () - Mar 10, 2025 - Abstract #ADPD2025ADPD_2427; Six single nucleotide variations were detected in 5 of the patients in which two similar deletion variations (c.T>del24, c.A>del31) were found within the region of Exon 3 (111bp) in three diabetic individuals whereas the other four variations (c.T>del23, c.A>del30, c.T>del30, c.A>del37) were detected in two affected individuals. To conclude, our research emphasizes the importance of finding DNA variations using DNA sequencing in the molecular diagnosis of diverse genetic diseases.

Journal, Heterogeneity: Genetic heterogeneity of engineered Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 strains during scale-up simulation. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 17, 2024 Whole genome short-read sequencing revealed the genetic instability of the pMUT-based production plasmid after serial passaging for approximately 150 generations using an automated platform for high-throughput microbial evolution in five independent lineages for six distinct strains. While a reduction of the number of mutations of 12%-43% could be observed after the deletion of the error-prone DNA polymerases, the interruption of production-relevant genes could not be prevented, highlighting the need for additional strategies to improve the stability of advanced microbiome therapeutics.

Preclinical, Review, Journal: THE ROLE OF FGF19 IN METABOLIC REGULATION: INSIGHTS FROM PRECLINICAL MODELS TO CLINICAL TRIALS. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 22, 2024 Moreover, we provide a comprehensive overview of clinical trials involving a FGF19 analog called aldafermin, emphasizing promising results in diseases such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and diabetes. Therefore, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of FGF19 role and encourage further exploration of its clinical applications, thereby advancing the field and offering innovative approaches to address the escalating global health challenge of obesity and related metabolic conditions.

Fibroblast Growth Factor Analogues in Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: A Network Meta-Analysis (Exhibit Hall E) - Aug 20, 2024 - Abstract #ACG2024ACG_3435; Twelve RCTs comprising 1,420 patients with MASLD were included, involving four FGF agonists: efruxifermin, aldafermin, pegbelfermin, and pegozafermin at various doses. Most significant mean reduction in hepatic fat fraction (HFF) [MD = -67.98, 95% CI [-102.12; -33.84], P 30% [RR=4.68, 95% CI [2.57; 7.97], P1 stage without MASH worsening followed by efruxifermin at 50 mg ( P =0.04).

Journal, Combination therapy, PD(L)-1 Biomarker, IO biomarker: Anti-tumor activity of a novel LAIR1 antagonist in combination with anti-PD-1 to treat collagen-rich solid tumors. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 22, 2024 Further, a mouse-reactive NGM438 surrogate antibody sensitized refractory KP mouse lung tumors to anti-PD-1 therapy and resulted in increased intratumoral CD8+ T cell content and inflammatory gene expression. These data place LAIR1 at the intersection of stroma and suppressive myeloid cells and support the notion that blockade of the LAIR1/collagen axis can potentially address resistance to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in the clinic.

Journal: FGF19 and its analog Aldafermin cooperate with MYC to induce aggressive hepatocarcinogenesis. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 19, 2024 In particular, even a short systemic treatment with recombinant proteins triggered rapid appearance of proliferative foci of MYC-expressing hepatocytes. The fact that FGF19 analog Aldafermin is not fully devoid of the hormone's oncogenic properties raises concerns in the context of its potential use for patients with damaged, mutation-prone liver.

Fibroblast growth factor 19 cooperates with Myc to promote liver carcinogenesis (Poster Area) - Apr 12, 2023 - Abstract #EASLILC2023EASL_ILC_2305; Moreover, we suggest that aldafermin might keep oncogenic properties in this context. Since Myc pathway is often deregulated in patients with NASH or cirrhosis, our results suggest a precautionary approach with regard to the potential adverse effects of FGF analogs in these patients.

Hepatic fat and liver volume reductions (Poster Area) - Apr 12, 2023 - Abstract #EASLILC2023EASL_ILC_1914; P2 The impact of SC and LV correction is great on the concomitant fibrosis around steatosis, but minimal on the concomitant fibrosis around ballooning. Therefore, concomitant analyses with digital pathology can augment the interpretation of the mechanism of action of drugs in NASH as well as allow for a better understanding of the impact these drugs have on histopathology and should be considered in future trials.
