    Genomic Analysis Defines Increased Circulating, Monocyte-Derived Macrophages That Promote Immune Suppression in Mouse Models of FGFR1-Driven Leukemogenesis and Defines a Multigene Signature That Predicts AML Outcomes () -  Dec 7, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_8154;    
    Importantly, treatment of leukemic mice with the CSF1R inhibitor GW2580, which suppresses macrophage function and reduces their viability, leads to improved survival accompanied by reduced levels of leukemia cells and increased T-cell levels...Overall, we demonstrate that a major part of the immune suppression in SCLL leukemia models involves suppression of T-cell function by circulating macrophages, and targeting macrophages in this system improves survival of mice engrafted with leukemia cells. In addition, we have also defined specific genetic reprogramming that is associated with the transition of monocytes into macrophages during leukemogenesis, potentially providing opportunities to target and reverse the immune suppressive microenvironment to improve AML outcome.

    Preclinical, Journal:  Efficient radiosynthesis and preclinical evaluation of [ F]FOMPyD as a PET tracer candidate for TrkB/C receptor imaging. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 22, 2021   
    Herein we report an efficient radiolabeling of a F-fluorinated derivative of dual inhibitor GW2580, with its subsequent evaluation as a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer candidate for imaging of two neuroreceptor targets implicated in the pathophysiology of neurodegeneration: tropomyosin receptor kinases (TrkB/C) and colony stimulating factor receptor (CSF-1R)...The binding was blocked by TrkB/C inhibitors, but not with a CSF-1R inhibitor, suggesting selective binding to the former receptor. Although an unfavorable pharmacokinetic profile will likely preclude application of [ F]FOMPyD as a PET tracer for brain imaging, the concomitant one-pot copper-mediated F-fluorination/Boc-deprotection is a practical technique for the automated radiosynthesis of acid-sensitive PET tracers.

    Journal:  Selective Loss of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Exacerbates Brain Injury by Enhancing Neuroinflammation in Experimental Streptococcus pneumoniae Meningitis. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 7, 2021   
    To investigate the role of microglia/macrophage in infected BDNF conditional knockout mice, GW2580 was used for microglia/macrophage depletion...Furthermore, targeted depletion of microglia/macrophage population decreased the resistance of mice to PM with diminishing neuroinflammation in BDNF conditional knockouts. Our findings suggest that loss of BDNF may enhance the inflammatory response and contribute to brain injury during PM at least partially by modulating TLR2- and NOD2-mediated signaling pathways, thereby providing a potential therapeutic target for future interventions in bacterial meningitis pathologies.

    In addition, we show that inhibition of CSF-1R phosphorylation using a pharmacologic inhibitor (GW2580) had no effect on HSPCs numbers but resulted in significantly decreased M2 macrophage numbers resulting in decreased tumor growth and regrowth (p<0.005)...Interestingly, Laminin 5-1-1 levels were decreased in RT treated tumors compared to NRT controls (p<0.005) further indicating that the RT-derived microenvironments supported HSPC differentiation into M2 macrophages. Overall, these studies define a new understanding of tumor biology in which tumor-associated HSPCs are an essential component of tumor progression and survival and identify new treatment strategies to overcome these effects and achieve more optimal clinical outcomes.
