Abstract

Abstract Introduction KRASG12C and KRASG12D inhibitors represent a major translational breakthrough for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and cancer in general by directly targeting its most mutated oncoprotein. However, resistance to these small molecules has highlighted the need for rational combination partners necessitating a critical understanding of signaling downstream of KRAS mutant isoforms. Methods We contrasted tumor development between Kras G12C and Kras G12D genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs). To corroborate findings and determine mutant subtype-specific dependencies, isogenic models of Kras G12C and Kras G12D initiation and adaptation were profiled by RNA sequencing. We also employed cell line models of established KRAS mutant NSCLC and determined therapeutic vulnerabilities through pharmacological inhibition. We analysed differences in survival outcomes for patients affected by advanced KRAS G12C or KRAS G12D -mutant NSCLC. Results KRASG12D exhibited higher potency in vivo, manifesting as more rapid lung tumor formation and reduced survival of KRASG12D GEMMs compared to KRASG12C. This increased potency, recapitulated in an isogenic initiation model, was associated with enhanced PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling. However, KRASG12C oncogenicity and downstream pathway activation were comparable with KRASG12D at later stages of tumorigenesis in vitro and in vivo, consistent with similar clinical outcomes in patients. Despite this, established KRASG12D NSCLC models depended more on the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway, while KRASG12C models on the MAPK pathway. Specifically, KRASG12D inhibition was enhanced by AKT inhibition in vitro and in vivo. Conclusions Our data highlight a unique combination treatment vulnerability and suggest that patient selection strategies for combination approaches using direct KRAS inhibitors should be i) contextualised to individual RAS mutants, and ii) tailored to their downstream signaling.

Abstract

Isoprene, the main volatile released by plants, is known to protect the photosynthetic apparatus in isoprene emitters submitted to oxidative pressures caused by environmental constraints. Whether ambient isoprene contributes to protect negligible plant emitters under abiotic stress conditions is less clear, and no study has tested if ambient isoprene is beneficial during drought periods in plant species that naturally release negligible isoprene emissions. This study examines the effect of exogenous isoprene (20 ppbv) on net photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and production of H2O2 (a reactive oxygen species: ROS) in leaves of Acer monspessulanum (a negligible isoprene emitter) submitted to three watering treatments (optimal, moderate water stress and severe water stress). Results showed that A. monspessulanum exhibited a net photosynthesis increase (+30%) and a relative leaf H2O2 decrease when saplings were exposed to an enriched isoprene atmosphere compared to isoprene-free conditions under moderate water deficit. Such physiological improvement under isoprene exposure was not observed under optimal watering or severe water stress. These findings suggest that when negligible isoprene emitters are surrounded by a very high concentration of isoprene in the ambient air, some plant protection mechanism occurs under moderate water deficit probably related to protection against ROS damage eventually impeding photosynthesis drop.

Abstract

This article describes Daphne, a virtual assistant for designing Earth observation distributed spacecraft missions. It is, to the best of our knowledge, the first virtual assistant for such application. The article provides a thorough description of Daphne, including its question answering system and the main features we have implemented to help system engineers design distributed spacecraft missions. In addition, the article describes a study performed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to assess the usefulness of Daphne in this use case. The study was conducted with N = 9 subjects from JPL, who were asked to work on a mission design task with two versions of Daphne, one that was fully featured implementing the cognitive assistance functions, and one that only had the features one would find in a traditional design space exploration tool. After the task, they filled out a standard user experience survey, completed a test to assess how much they learned about the task, and were asked a number of questions in a semi-structured exit interview. Results of the study suggest that Daphne can help improve performance during system design tasks compared to traditional tools, while keeping the system usable. However, the study also raises some concerns with respect to a potential reduction in human learning due to the use of the cognitive assistant. The article ends with a list of suggestions for future development of virtual assistants for space mission design.

Abstract

The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a predictor of important outcomes and its reduction has been associated with the risk of all-cause mortality in both general population and elderly patients. However while reduced renal function is common in older people, the best method for estimating GFR remains unclear, especially in an acute care setting. Most studies analyzing the accuracy of eGFR in the elderly were carried out in different heterogeneous settings. In this study, we compare the prognostic value of different formulas estimating GFR in predicting the risk of in-hospital morbidity and mortality within 3 months from discharge in elderly hospitalized patients. Data were extracted from “Registro Politerapia Societa Italiana di Medicina Interna (REPOSI)”. Patients with available creatinine values at hospital admission were selected and eGFR was calculated according to the different formulas: Cockcroft-Gault, Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation, Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration, Berlin Initiative Study and Full Age Spectrum. 4621 patients were included in the analysis. Among these, 4.2% and 14.2% died during hospitalization and within 3 months from discharge, respectively. eGFR > 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 at admission was associated with a very low risk of mortality during the hospital stay and within 90 days from discharge, while an eGFR

Abstract

Melanoma is a clinically heterogeneous disease, and current strategies for treatment of the primary tumour are based on pathological criteria alone. In the recent past, several DNA-sequencing and RNA-sequencing studies of primary and advanced melanoma samples have identified unique relationships between somatic mutations, genomic aberrations, and the genetic fingerprint of ultraviolet radiation (UVR). The recurrent patterns of genomic alterations reveal different disease pathways, drug targets and mechanisms limiting drug response. Here, we examine the known associations between the molecular categories of melanoma and the multidimensional UVR damage. Copyright © 2018 Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.

Abstract

Aims Because the term ‘naevoid melanoma’ has variable clinical and pathologic interpretations, we aimed to clarify the features of melanomas referred to as naevoid. Methods and Results A review was undertaken of 102 melanomas diagnosed histopathologically as naevoid melanomas and ascertained by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Melanoma Group Subcommittee pathologists from their records. We found these could be classified morphologically into 3 groups. Thirteen melanomas were overlying genuine naevi and were therefore excluded. Of the 89 melanomas considered to be naevoid, 11 presented clinically as exophytic papillomatous nodules with little junctional component and composed of small atypical cells showing numerous mitoses and no change with depth; we termed these “papillomatous naevoid” melanomas. The other 78 were flat or only slightly raised and had a superficial spreading melanoma (SSM)-like component with maturation to a small cell, but still atypical, dermal component; we termed these “maturing naevoid” melanomas. We showed that papillomatous and maturing naevoid melanomas also have differing immunochemical profiles. Preliminary clinical follow-up suggested different outcomes for these two naevoid melanoma types. Conclusions Melanomas that have been classified as naevoid melanomas comprise two types with distinct clinical, histopathologic and immunohistochemical features that may also be prognostically significant.
