Abrégé
Single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) in key T cell genes can drive clinical pathologies and could be repurposed to improve cellular cancer immunotherapies. Here, we perform massively parallel base editing screens to generate thousands of variants at gene loci annotated with known or potential clinical significance. We discover a broad landscape of putative gain- (GOF) and loss-of-function (LOF) mutations, including in PIK3CD and its regulatory subunit PIK3R1, LCK, SOS, AKT1, and RHOA. Base editing of PIK3CD and PIK3R1 variants in T cells with an engineered T cell receptor specific against a melanoma epitope or in different generations of CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells demonstrates that discovered GOF variants, but not LOF or silent mutation controls, enhanced signaling, cytokine production and lysis of cognate melanoma and leukemia cell models, respectively. Additionally, we show that generations of CD19 CAR-T cells engineered with PIK3CD GOF mutations demonstrate enhanced antigen-specific signaling, cytokine production, and leukemia cell killing, including when benchmarked against other recent strategies.

Phonon engineered, lanthanide doped upconverting nanoparticles with very low phonon energies and tunable methods of synthesis that adjust OA:OM ratio and reaction temperature are provided. Low phonon energy KPb2X5 (X=Cl, Br) upconverting nanoparticles, both doped and undoped, exhibit dramatically suppressed multiphonon relaxation, enhancing upconversion emission from higher lanthanide excited states and enabling room temperature observation of avalanche like upconversion by Nd3+ ions. Intrinsic optical bistability (IOB) of the materials can provide bit level functionality to all optical computing. The IOB of Nd3+ doped nanocrystals, which are either bright or dark at the same excitation power based on power history, illustrate the functionality. High contrast switching and IOB are enabled via the photon avalanche process, which sustains population inversion between the ground and the first excited 4fN states of Nd3+ ions. The IOB of these nanocrystals can be controlled by temporal pump modulation and can store information.

Biomarker: In our preclinical mouse models of AIHA and in patients with AIHA, we have identified a new T cell population that predicts onset of autoimmune hemolytic anemia. The cell phenotype is: CD4+CD39+CD73-CD25-FoxP3-. These cells secrete IL-17 and/or IFNy upon stimulation, suggesting that they perpetuate autoimmune pathology. Treatment: Failure of tolerance to RBCs leads to modulation of the purinergic signaling pathway. Using our preclinical mouse models of AIHA secondary to checkpoint inhibitors, we have observed that prophylactic/concurrent apyrase treatment mitigates disease onset.

PARP inhibitor (PARPi) resistance continues to undermine successful treatment of BRCA-mutant breast cancers in the clinic. Two immunocompetent, orthotopic models of Brca1- and Bard1-mutant breast cancer were generated to explore PARPi resistance mechanisms in vivo. In contrast to the expected DNA-repair-related resistance mechanisms, the models identified activation of FLT1 (VEGFR1) as the basis for PARPi resistance. PARPi-resistant breast tumors with increased expression of FLT1 have increased expression of the FLT1 ligand PIGF in the tumor microenvironment, which activates FLT1 and its downstream effector AKT. Genetic inhibition of Flt1 inhibits AKT activation and causes dramatic tumor regression of PARPi-resistant tumors, while axitinib, a pan-VEGFR antagonist, resensitizes PARPi-resistant breast tumors to PARP inhibition in vivo. It was also discovered that breast cancers expressing high levels of FLT1 before PARPi treatment show faster progression on PARPi. Thus, novel cancer therapeutic compositions and methods related to preventing or reversing PARPi resistance are described herein.

Systems and methods of performing temperature swing solvent extraction (TSSE) descaling of produced water and desalination of high-salinity brines, e.g., those having a total dissolved solids (TDS) greater than about 250,000 ppm are capable of producing descaled water products including less than about 5% weight percent TDS. The brine/produced water feedstreams and combined with a solvent having temperature-dependent water solubility at a temperature TL. Water is extracted from the feedstream into the solvent to form a water-in-solvent extract component and a raffinate component, from which a solid phase can be precipitated as more water is portioned in the solvent and basicity increases. Heating of the water-in-solvent extract component reduces the solubility of the water therein, producing a biphasic mixture of dewatered solvent and descaled water that can be separated. Because these systems and methods do not require a phase change of water, these products are achieved with significantly higher energy efficiencies when compared to evaporation-based thermal methods.

TREATMENT AND METHOD FOR INHIBITING LATE NA CURRENT

Chakouri, Nourdine

Marx, Steven O.
Abrégé
Treatments and methods for inhibiting late Na current use fibroblast growth factor homologous factor (FHF), an endogenous channel modulator, to inhibit late Na current with high potency. A minimal effector domain is engineered within FHF (the “FHF-inhibiting-X-region” (FixR)) as a peptide inhibitor of late Na current that may be delivered intracellularly, for example as a cell-penetrating peptide, or via viral or plasmid delivery. As a non-limiting example, human adenovirus type 5 may be genetically modified with the sequence 5′-ATGGCTGCGGCGATAGCCAGCTCCTTGATCCGGCAGAAGCGGCAGGCGAGGGAG TCCAACAGCGACCGAGTGTCGGCCTCCAAGCGCCGCTCCAGCCCCAGCAAAGAC GGGCGCTCC-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 1). As pathophysiological impact of late Na current extends beyond cardiac myocytes to other physiological settings, including neurons of the central and peripheral nervous system and skeletal muscle, these treatments and methods provide potential therapeutic avenues for a range of human ailments, including cardiac conditions, neurological/neuropsychiatric disorders, and skeletal muscle conditions. Neurological/neuropsychiatric disorders include, for example, epilepsy and autism spectrum disorders, pain-related diseases, and myotonia.

Abrégé
The method of treating obesity and targeting adipose tissue in a patient may use injection of a polycationic polymer, such as polyamidoamine (PAMAM) generation 3 (P-G3) or a PCL-g-PAMAM Denpol, that when delivered intraperitoneally, selectively targets visceral adiposity due to its high charge density. P-G3 treatment of obese mice inhibits visceral adiposity, increases energy expenditure, prevents obesity, and alleviates associated metabolic dysfunctions. The extracellular matrix of adipose tissue is enriched with glycosaminoglycans, the known biomacromolecules with the strongest negative charge. P-G3 uncouples adipocyte lipid synthesis and storage from adipocyte development, creating adipocytes with normal functions but that are deficient in hypertrophic growth. The visceral fat distribution of P-G3 is further enhanced by modifying P-G3 with cholesterol to form lipophilic nanoparticles, effective in treating obesity. This strategy provides a method to target visceral adiposity, and cationic nanomaterials useful for treating metabolic diseases or for delivery of additional treating agents.

Examples of syringe assemblies and sets of components are disclosed for transferring a fluid sample for testing. In some examples, the syringe assembly comprises a housing, a barrel, a plunger reciprocally moveable in the barrel, a narrow tube connected to the barrel, and a metering actuator configured to control movement of the plunger at least in a proximal direction relative to the barrel. The metering actuator is configured to draw a precise microvolume of the fluid sample into a fluid chamber within the syringe assembly. In some examples, while the fluid chamber holds the fluid sample, the distal tip of the narrow tube remains covered, for example inside the housing or a reaction container. The syringe assembly is configured to expel the fluid sample from the fluid chamber into the reaction container.
