The overexpression of the nitrogen assimilation gene glnA in heterotrophic bacteria (Halomonas and Marinobacterium) may promote the conversion of inorganic nitrogen to extracellular proteins to adapt to the decreased operational temperature. Our findings confirm that GAC addition is a simple but effective strategy to accelerate granulation and enhance the robustness of HAGS in saline wastewater treatment.

Retrospective data, Clinical Trial,Phase II, Journal: Retrospective analysis of arterial occlusive events in the PACE trial by an independent adjudication committee. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 16, 2022 P2 This independent adjudication study identified lower AOE rates than previously reported, suggesting earlier overestimation that may inaccurately reflect AOE risk with ponatinib. This trial was registered under ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01207440 on September 23, 2010 ( https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01207440 ).

Based on the current overview of the key role of TAMs in drug resistance, we discuss the potential possibility for targeting TAMs to reduce drug resistance in BC treatment, By inhibiting the recruitment of TAMs, depleting the number of TAMs, regulating the polarization of TAMs and enhancing the phagocytosis of TAMs. Evidences in our review support it is important to develop novel therapeutic strategies to target TAMs in BC to overcome the treatment of resistance.

Many dual-target inhibitors have been developed using structural fusion, linkage, or library construction methods, overcoming the defects of many single-target inhibitors of PARP1 and achieving great success in clinical cancer therapy. This review summarizes the advance of dual-target PARP1 inhibitors in recent years, focusing on their structural optimization process, structure-activity relationships (SARs), and in vitro or in vivo analysis results.

(Pubmed Central) - Feb 16, 2022 At a TC concentration of 10 mg/L, there were also increases and decreases, respectively, in the abundance of resistance and denitrification functional genes. The inhibitory effect of TC on denitrification was achieved mainly by the inhibition of nitrite-reducing bacteria.

Clinical, Journal: Potential applications of clickable probes in EGFR activity visualization and prediction of EGFR-TKI therapy response for NSCLC patients. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 16, 2022 Moreover, 13 was applied to visualize EGFR mutant activity in tumour tissues from non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) xenograft mouse models, and patients with NSCLC for the prediction of EGFR-TKI sensitivity. These results demonstrate that strategically designed EGFR-TKI-based probes allow discriminating EGFR mutations in human tissues and hold promise as useful diagnostic tools in predicting EGFR-TKI therapy response.

Herein, we report the development of YF135, the first reversible-covalent PROTAC capable of recruiting VHL mediated proteasomal degradation of KRAS. YF135 induces the rapid and sustained degradation of endogenous KRAS and attenuates pERK signaling in H358 and H23 cells in a reversible manner.

Typical inhibitors of different forms of regulated cell death cannot impede this process, which appears to involve a direct disruption of biomembranes. Nevertheless, our finding has potential clinical relevance; reliable induction of a necrotic form of cell death distinct from all known forms of regulated cell death may offer a novel therapeutic approach to combat resistant tumour cells.

Using data from recent clinical trials, this review will focus on known IRAEs, particularly those seen in patients with breast cancer, and will summarize their prevalence, severity, and outcomes. We will discuss optimal strategies for early recognition and management, as well as approaches toward cautious retreatment following resolution of IRAEs.

We also show the oncogenic function of uc.83- is mediated by the phosphorylation of AKT and ERK 1/2, two important biomarkers of lung cancer cell proliferation. Based on our findings, inhibition against uc.83- could be a future therapeutic treatment for NSCLC to achieve simultaneous blockade of pathways involved in lung carcinogenesis.
- |||||||||| Journal: IKKα plays a major role in canonical NF-kB signalling in colorectal cells. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 16, 2022
Notably, whilst IKKα loss strongly inhibited TNFα-dependent p65 nuclear translocation, IKKα and IKKβ contributed equally to c-Rel nuclear translocation indicating that different NF-κB subunits exhibit different dependencies on these IKKs. These results demonstrate a major role for IKKα in canonical NF-κB signalling in colorectal cells and may be relevant to efforts to design IKK inhibitors, which have focused largely on IKKβ to date.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Immune checkpoint-targeted antibodies: a room for dose and schedule optimization? (Pubmed Central) - Feb 16, 2022
Given the pharmacology of these monoclonal antibodies, their high interpatient pharmacokinetic variability, the actual clinical benefit as monotherapy that is observed only in a specific subset of patients, and the substantial cost of these treatments, a number of questions arise regarding the selected dose and the dosing interval. This review aims to outline the development of these immunotherapies and considers optimization options that could be used in clinical practice.

These results suggest that the novel PHD2/HDACs hybrid inhibitor, 31c, has a clinical potential as the renoprotective agent for the treatment/prevention of cisplatin-induced AKI for various cancers.

- |||||||||| Journal: Unprotected peptide macrocyclization and stapling via a fluorine-thiol displacement reaction. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 16, 2022
Pilot mechanism studies suggested that the uptake of FTDR-stapled peptides may involve multiple endocytosis pathways in a distinct pattern in comparison to peptides stapled by RCM. Consistent with the improved cell permeability, the FTDR-stapled lead Axin and p53 peptide analogues demonstrated enhanced inhibition of cancer cells over the RCM-stapled analogues and the unstapled peptides.
- |||||||||| Journal: Two opposing hippocampus to prefrontal cortex pathways for the control of approach and avoidance behaviour. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 16, 2022
The superficial population is preferentially connected to widespread PFC inhibitory interneurons, and its activation promotes exploration; while the deep circuit is connected to PFC pyramidal neurons and fast spiking interneurons, and its activation promotes avoidance. Together this provides a mechanism for regulation of behaviour during approach avoidance conflict: through two specialized, parallel circuits that allow bidirectional hippocampal control of PFC.

Because ZFDs, unlike CRISPR-derived base editors, do not cleave DNA to yield single- or double-strand breaks, no unwanted indels caused by error-prone non-homologous end joining are produced at target sites. Furthermore, recombinant ZFD proteins, expressed in and purified from E. coli, penetrate cultured human cells spontaneously to induce targeted base conversions, demonstrating the proof-of-principle of gene-free gene therapy.
