1. Natural language processing strategies for discovery of cell type-specific DNA regulatory elements

Author: Buzatu, Rafaella, Kenna, Kevin (Thesis Advisor), Wang Y., Kenna K., Buzatu, Rafaella, Kenna, Kevin (Thesis Advisor), and Wang Y., Kenna K.
Abstract: Understanding the gene transcription rules present in non-coding DNA is essential for unraveling the genetic code that establishes cellular fate. In this study, we aim to narrow down on regulatory regions and motifs within the central nervous system (CNS) that determine cell specificity. While the use of ATAC-seq data has been proven efficient in defining relevant regions of open chromatin, further analysis is required in order to obtain insights into specific regulatory elements. To that end, we propose a strategy involving natural language processing techniques to identify DNA transcription factor (TF) binding sites relevant to each cell type. We employ topic modelling for co-clustering of ATAC-seq peak sequences and cell types; as a result, we can retrieve ‘topics’ consisting of functionally related non-coding DNA regions, that provide a starting point for further analysis and identification of cell-specific feature combinations. Furthermore, we finetune a BigBird language model, pre-trained on the human genome, to distinguish between GABAergic, glutamatergic, and non-neuronal cells. The Byte-Pair Encoding tokenization method allows us to extract the most important DNA motifs for making the class predictions, as well as their corresponding attention scores, which can be mapped back to the peak sequences to identify TF binding sites. We show that this method allows identification of known regulatory elements and propose new strategies to extract more meaningful and specific information from the language models.

Abstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease with a lifetime risk of one in 350 people and an unmet need for disease-modifying therapies. We conducted a cross-ancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS) including 29,612 patients with ALS and 122,656 controls, which identified 15 risk loci. When combined with 8,953 individuals with whole-genome sequencing (6,538 patients, 2,415 controls) and a large cortex-derived expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) dataset (MetaBrain), analyses revealed locus-specific genetic architectures in which we prioritized genes either through rare variants, short tandem repeats or regulatory effects. ALS-associated risk loci were shared with multiple traits within the neurodegenerative spectrum but with distinct enrichment patterns across brain regions and cell types. Of the environmental and lifestyle risk factors obtained from the literature, Mendelian randomization analyses indicated a causal role for high cholesterol levels. The combination of all ALS-associated signals reveals a role for perturbations in vesicle-mediated transport and autophagy and provides evidence for cell-autonomous disease initiation in glutamatergic neurons.

Abstract: Importance: Juvenile amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare form of ALS characterized by age of symptom onset less than 25 years and a variable presentation. Objective: To identify the genetic variants associated with juvenile ALS. Design, setting, and participants: In this multicenter family-based genetic study, trio whole-exome sequencing was performed to identify the disease-associated gene in a case series of unrelated patients diagnosed with juvenile ALS and severe growth retardation. The patients and their family members were enrolled at academic hospitals and a government research facility between March 1, 2016, and March 13, 2020, and were observed until October 1, 2020. Whole-exome sequencing was also performed in a series of patients with juvenile ALS. A total of 66 patients with juvenile ALS and 6258 adult patients with ALS participated in the study. Patients were selected for the study based on their diagnosis, and all eligible participants were enrolled in the study. None of the participants had a family history of neurological disorders, suggesting de novo variants as the underlying genetic mechanism. Main outcomes and measures: De novo variants present only in the index case and not in unaffected family members. Results: Trio whole-exome sequencing was performed in 3 patients diagnosed with juvenile ALS and their parents. An additional 63 patients with juvenile ALS and 6258 adult patients with ALS were subsequently screened for variants in the SPTLC1 gene. De novo variants in SPTLC1 (p.Ala20Ser in 2 patients and p.Ser331Tyr in 1 patient) were identified in 3 unrelated patients diagnosed with juvenile ALS and failure to thrive. A fourth variant (p.Leu39del) was identified in a patient with juvenile ALS where parental DNA was unavailable. Variants in this gene have been previously shown to be associated with autosomal-dominant hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy, type 1A, by disrupting an essential enzyme complex in the sphingolipid synthesis

Abstract: To identify novel genes associated with ALS, we undertook two lines of investigation. We carried out a genome-wide association study comparing 20,806 ALS cases and 59,804 controls. Independently, we performed a rare variant burden analysis comparing 1,138 index familial ALS cases and 19,494 controls. Through both approaches, we identified kinesin family member 5A (KIF5A) as a novel gene associated with ALS. Interestingly, mutations predominantly in the N-terminal motor domain of KIF5A are causative for two neurodegenerative diseases: hereditary spastic paraplegia (SPG10) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2 (CMT2). In contrast, ALS-associated mutations are primarily located at the C-terminal cargo-binding tail domain and patients harboring loss-of-function mutations displayed an extended survival relative to typical ALS cases. Taken together, these results broaden the phenotype spectrum resulting from mutations in KIF5A and strengthen the role of cytoskeletal defects in the pathogenesis of ALS. Using a large-scale genome-wide association study and exome sequencing, we identified KIF5A as a novel gene associated with ALS. Our data broaden the phenotype resulting from mutations in KIF5A and highlight the importance of cytoskeletal defects in the pathogenesis of ALS.

Abstract: To identify novel genes associated with ALS, we undertook two lines of investigation. We carried out a genome-wide association study comparing 20,806 ALS cases and 59,804 controls. Independently, we performed a rare variant burden analysis comparing 1,138 index familial ALS cases and 19,494 controls. Through both approaches, we identified kinesin family member 5A (KIF5A) as a novel gene associated with ALS. Interestingly, mutations predominantly in the N-terminal motor domain of KIF5A are causative for two neurodegenerative diseases: hereditary spastic paraplegia (SPG10) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2 (CMT2). In contrast, ALS-associated mutations are primarily located at the C-terminal cargo-binding tail domain and patients harboring loss-of-function mutations displayed an extended survival relative to typical ALS cases. Taken together, these results broaden the phenotype spectrum resulting from mutations in KIF5A and strengthen the role of cytoskeletal defects in the pathogenesis of ALS. Using a large-scale genome-wide association study and exome sequencing, we identified KIF5A as a novel gene associated with ALS. Our data broaden the phenotype resulting from mutations in KIF5A and highlight the importance of cytoskeletal defects in the pathogenesis of ALS.

14. Sex-specific thermal constraints on fiddler crab behavior

Abstract: Sexual selection via endurance rivalry favors increased tenure at the breeding site but can be costly. Here, we investigated thermal constraints on endurance rivalry in fiddler crabs, a group well suited for studies of interactions between sexual and natural selection due to ritualized mating behaviors and extreme sexual dimorphism. Fiddler crab males display in thermally stressful high-intertidal breeding areas. Retreating into burrows, an effective thermoregulatory mechanism, requires a cessation of courtship behaviors. We predicted that males should spend more time on the surface than females and that their ability to do so should decrease with increasing body temperature. In contrast, the amount of time females spend on the surface should be little affected by body temperature. We tested these predictions in the fiddler crab Uca panacea by manipulating body temperatures and monitoring surface activity and habitat choice in large outdoor tanks during the breeding season. Males showed consistently higher surface activity than females. Effects of body temperature on surface activity were sex-specific, occurring in males but not in females, indicating sex-specific thermal constraints on surface behavior and supporting our hypothesized thermal constraints on endurance rivalry.

Abstract: The kindergarten/first grade class at the Idaho campus of Teton Science Schools' Mountain Academy was thrilled to see your cover story about wildlife crossings ("Crossing to Safety", 1/1/20). "A Cherokee for Trump" and "Party Favors" (12/9/19) by Graham Lee Brewer and Will Ford seem bookends to each other, detailing really bad politics. In Brewer's article, the Oklahoma congressman seems to enjoy contradictory support from his own fragmented people.("There are a lot of conservative hardcore evangelical Cherokees who believe he is doing the right thing.".

Abstract: Key Points Question What genetic variants are associated with juvenile amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)? Findings In this family-based genetic study, exome sequencing was performed in 3 patients diagnosed with juvenile ALS and failure to thrive; this identified de novo variants in SPTLC1 (p.Ala20Ser in 2 patients and p.Ser331Tyr in 1 patient). Variants in SPTLC1 are a known cause of hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy, type 1A, and these data extend the phenotype associated with this gene. Meaning De novo variants in the SPTLC1 gene are associated with juvenile ALS, a fatal neurological disorder., This genetic association study identifies genetic variants associated with juvenile amyotrophic lateral sclerosis., Importance Juvenile amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare form of ALS characterized by age of symptom onset less than 25 years and a variable presentation. Objective To identify the genetic variants associated with juvenile ALS. Design, Setting, and Participants In this multicenter family-based genetic study, trio whole-exome sequencing was performed to identify the disease-associated gene in a case series of unrelated patients diagnosed with juvenile ALS and severe growth retardation. The patients and their family members were enrolled at academic hospitals and a government research facility between March 1, 2016, and March 13, 2020, and were observed until October 1, 2020. Whole-exome sequencing was also performed in a series of patients with juvenile ALS. A total of 66 patients with juvenile ALS and 6258 adult patients with ALS participated in the study. Patients were selected for the study based on their diagnosis, and all eligible participants were enrolled in the study. None of the participants had a family history of neurological disorders, suggesting de novo variants as the underlying genetic mechanism. Main Outcomes and Measures De novo variants present only in the index case and not in unaffected family members. Results Trio whole-exome sequencing was performed in 3 patients diagnosed with juvenile ALS and their parents. An additional 63 patients with juvenile ALS and 6258 adult patients with ALS were subsequently screened for variants in the SPTLC1 gene. De novo variants in SPTLC1 (p.Ala20Ser in 2 patients and p.Ser331Tyr in 1 patient) were identified in 3 unrelated patients diagnosed with juvenile ALS and failure to thrive. A fourth variant (p.Leu39del) was identified in a patient with juvenile ALS where parental DNA was unavailable. Variants in this gene have been previously shown to be associated with autosomal-dominant hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy, type 1A, by disrupting an essential enzyme complex in the sphingolipid synthesis pathway. Conclusions and Relevance These data broaden the phenotype associated with SPTLC1 and suggest that patients presenting with juvenile ALS should be screened for variants in this gene.

Abstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease with a lifetime risk of one in 350 people and an unmet need for disease-modifying therapies. We conducted a cross-ancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS) including 29,612 patients with ALS and 122,656 controls, which identified 15 risk loci. When combined with 8,953 individuals with whole-genome sequencing (6,538 patients, 2,415 controls) and a large cortex-derived expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) dataset (MetaBrain), analyses revealed locus-specific genetic architectures in which we prioritized genes either through rare variants, short tandem repeats or regulatory effects. ALS-associated risk loci were shared with multiple traits within the neurodegenerative spectrum but with distinct enrichment patterns across brain regions and cell types. Of the environmental and lifestyle risk factors obtained from the literature, Mendelian randomization analyses indicated a causal role for high cholesterol levels. The combination of all ALS-associated signals reveals a role for perturbations in vesicle-mediated transport and autophagy and provides evidence for cell-autonomous disease initiation in glutamatergic neurons., Dutch Research Council (NWO); VENI Scheme Grant; VIDI Grant; Prinses Beatrix Spierfonds; Neuromuscular Fellowship Grant; Medical Research Council (MRC); Clinical Infrastructure Award; Epidemiology Unit; Integrative Epidemiology Unit; Canadian Institutes of Health Research; IWT; National Institute on Aging; National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC); Enabling Grant; NHMRC/Australian Research Council Strategic Award; NHMRC; NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence Grant; National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia (NHMRC) Research Fellowship; United Kingdom, Medical Research Council; Economic and Social Research Council; European Union (EU); Horizon 2020; European Community's Health Seventh Framework Programme; EuroMOTOR; European Research Council (ERC); Research and Innovation Programme; EScORIAL; ALS Foundation Netherlands; Alzheimer’s Society PhD Studentship; ARSla Funding; Biogen; University of Bristol; Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA); NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre; Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science; Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO; BRAINSCAPES); Gravitation Program; ALS Liga België; National Lottery of Belgium; KU Leuven Opening the Future Fund; KU Leuven Funds, “Een Hart voor ALS”, “Laeversfonds voor ALS Onderzoek” and the “Valéry Perrier Race against ALS Fund”; E. von Behring Chair for Neuromuscular and Neurodegenerative Disorders; ALS Liga België; “Live now” Charity Foundation; Moscow ALS palliative Care Service; Canadian Institutes of Health; Research Australia; Ice Bucket Challenge Grant; NIH Intramural Research Programs; FightMND Mid-Career Fellowship; NIHR Senior Investigator; Sheffield NIHR Biomedical Research Centre; Motor Neurone Disease Association; National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Biomedical Research Centre; Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust; King’s College London; NIHR Senior Investigator Award; Netherlands Organization for Health Research and Development; Vici Scheme; Netherlands Organization for Health Research and Development STRENGTH Project; PPP Allowance

Abstract: © 2018 Elsevier Inc., To identify novel genes associated with ALS, we undertook two lines of investigation. We carried out a genome-wide association study comparing 20,806 ALS cases and 59,804 controls. Independently, we performed a rare variant burden analysis comparing 1,138 index familial ALS cases and 19,494 controls. Through both approaches, we identified kinesin family member 5A (KIF5A) as a novel gene associated with ALS. Interestingly, mutations predominantly in the N-terminal motor domain of KIF5A are causative for two neurodegenerative diseases: hereditary spastic paraplegia (SPG10) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2 (CMT2). In contrast, ALS-associated mutations are primarily located at the C-terminal cargo-binding tail domain and patients harboring loss-of-function mutations displayed an extended survival relative to typical ALS cases. Taken together, these results broaden the phenotype spectrum resulting from mutations in KIF5A and strengthen the role of cytoskeletal defects in the pathogenesis of ALS.

Abstract: Study Objectives: Mitigating gender inequality in the diagnosis and management of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is of paramount importance. Historically, the diagnostic criteria for SDB were based on male physiology and did not account for variations in disease manifestation based on sex. Some payors use a definition of hypopnea that requires a 4% oxygen desaturation (AHI-4) to determine coverage for treatment, while the criteria recommended by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine requires either a 3% oxygen desaturation or an arousal (AHI-3A). This study examined the diagnostic implications of these two definitions for men and women in a clinical setting., Methods: We reviewed polysomnography (PSG) reports for all patients who completed a diagnostic PSG study at one sleep disorders center in 2019. Every PSG was scored using both sets of criteria to determine AHI-4 and AHI-3A., Results: Data from 279 women (64.7%), and 152 men (34.3%) were analyzed. Overall, the mean AHI-4 was 21.9±27.3, and the mean AHI-3A was 34.7±32.3 per hour of sleep. AHI-3A resulted in a diagnostic increase of 30.4% (p=0.001) for women and 21.7% (p=0.006) for men. Women saw a greater increase in diagnosis of mild and moderate SDB, while men saw a greater increase in severe SDB with the AHI-3A compared to the AHI-4 definition., Conclusions: The definition of hypopnea used in the AHI-3A criteria is more consistent with the pathophysiology of SDB in women and results in higher rates of diagnosis. Use of the AHI-4 criteria may create a sex-based disparity in diagnosis, leading to symptomatic women remaining undiagnosed and untreated., (© 2024 American Academy of Sleep Medicine.)

Abstract: Epistasis refers to changes in the effect on phenotype of a unit of genetic information, such as a single nucleotide polymorphism or a gene, dependent on the context of other genetic units. Such interactions are both biologically plausible and good candidates to explain observations which are not fully explained by an additive heritability model. However, the search for epistasis has so far largely failed to recover this missing heritability. We identify key challenges and propose that future works need to leverage idealized systems, known biology and even previously identified epistatic interactions, in order to guide the search for new interactions., Competing Interests: Declarations Competing interests The authors declare that they have no competing interests., (© 2024.

Abstract: Repeat expansions in the C9orf72 gene are the most common genetic cause of (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Like other genetic forms of neurodegeneration, pinpointing the precise mechanism(s) by which this mutation leads to neuronal death remains elusive, and this lack of knowledge hampers the development of therapy for C9orf72-related disease. We used an agnostic approach based on genomic data (n = 41,273 ALS and healthy samples, and n = 1,516 C9orf72 carriers) to overcome these bottlenecks. Our drug-repurposing screen, based on gene- and expression-pattern matching and information about the genetic variants influencing onset age among C9orf72 carriers, identified acamprosate, a γ-aminobutyric acid analog, as a potentially repurposable treatment for patients carrying C9orf72 repeat expansions. We validated its neuroprotective effect in cell models and showed comparable efficacy to riluzole, the current standard of care. Our work highlights the potential value of genomics in repurposing drugs in situations where the underlying pathomechanisms are inherently complex.

Abstract: KRAS inhibitors demonstrate clinical efficacy in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC); however, resistance is common. Among patients with KRASG12C-mutant PDAC treated with adagrasib or sotorasib, mutations in PIK3CA and KRAS, and amplifications of KRASG12C, MYC, MET, EGFR, and CDK6 emerged at acquired resistance. In PDAC cell lines and organoid models treated with the KRASG12D inhibitor MRTX1133, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling associate with resistance to therapy. MRTX1133 treatment of the KrasLSL-G12D/+; Trp53LSL-R172H/+; p48-Cre (KPC) mouse model yielded deep tumor regressions, but drug resistance ultimately emerged, accompanied by amplifications of Kras, Yap1, Myc, Cdk6, and Abcb1a/b, and co-evolution of drug-resistant transcriptional programs. Moreover, in KPC and PDX models, mesenchymal and basal-like cell states displayed increased response to KRAS inhibition compared to the classical state. Combination treatment with KRASG12D inhibition and chemotherapy significantly improved tumor control in PDAC mouse models. Collectively, these data elucidate co-evolving resistance mechanisms to KRAS inhibition and support multiple combination therapy strategies. Significance: Acquired resistance may limit the impact of KRAS inhibition in patients with PDAC. Using clinical samples and multiple preclinical models, we define heterogeneous genetic and non-genetic mechanisms of resistance to KRAS inhibition that may guide combination therapy approaches to improve the efficacy and durability of these promising therapies for patients.

Abstract: Individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) struggle with inhibitory control, decision making, and emotional processing. These cognitive symptoms reduce treatment adherence, worsen clinical outcomes, and promote relapse. Neuroimmune activation is a key factor in the pathophysiology of AUD, and targeting this modulatory system is less likely to produce unwanted side effects compared to directly targeting neurotransmitter dysfunction. Notably, the cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) has been broadly associated with the cognitive symptoms of AUD, though the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here we investigated how chronic intermittent 24-hour access two bottle choice ethanol drinking affects medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC)-related cognitive function and IL-1 synaptic signaling in male and female C57BL/6J mice. In both sexes, ethanol drinking decreased reference memory and increased mPFC IL-1 receptor 1 (IL-1R1) mRNA levels. In neurons, IL-1β can activate either pro-inflammatory or neuroprotective intracellular pathways depending on the isoform of the accessory protein (IL-1RAcP) recruited to the IL-1R1 complex. Moreover, ethanol drinking sex-dependently shifted mPFC IL-1RAcP isoform gene expression and IL-1β regulation of mPFC GABA synapses, both of which may contribute to female mPFC resiliency and male mPFC susceptibility. This type of signaling bias has become a recent focus of rational drug development. Therefore, in addition to increasing our understanding of how IL-1β sex-dependently contributes to mPFC dysfunction in AUD, our current findings also support the development of a new class of pharmacotherapeutics based on biased IL-1 signaling.

40. Impact of scheduled partial exchange transfusions on outcomes in pregnant patients with severe sickle cell disease: a retrospective study.

Author: Ananthaneni A, Jones S, Ghoweba M, Grant V, Leethy K, Benzar T, Master S, Mansour R, and Ramadas P
Abstract: Introduction: The incidence of feto-maternal complications is high in women with sickle cell disease. The paucity of high-quality evidence has led to conditional recommendations for transfusional support in pregnant patients. This study aimed to assess if scheduled partial red cell exchanges impact pregnancy outcomes in sickle cell disease patients., Methods: Forty-seven pregnancies were divided into two groups based on whether patients received scheduled partial red cell exchanges. Collected data included demographics, laboratory values, number of hospital visits, and prenatal/perinatal/postnatal outcomes. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests, and binary regression., Results: The mean age was 25.09 ± 4.39 years. Of 47 patients, 14 (29.8%) received scheduled red cell exchanges with 78.6% compliance with no evidence of alloimmunization. This procedure during pregnancy was associated with fewer admissions for pain crises (p=0.032), higher gestational age at delivery (p=0.007), and a lower incidence of neonatal intensive care admissions (p=0.011; odds ratio: 0.071; 95% confidence interval: 0.008-0.632). Logistic regression did not show any significant associations., Conclusions: Sickle cell disease patients with complications in previous pregnancies, including high hospitalization/admission rates and preterm deliveries, could benefit from scheduled partial red cell exchanges or simple transfusions. Further research is needed to guide clinical practice pertaining to transfusional support in pregnant patients with sickle cell disease., Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest None declared., (Copyright © 2024 Associação Brasileira de Hematologia, Hemoterapia e Terapia Celular.

Abstract: Gas flow is fundamental for driving tidal ventilation and, thus, the speed of lung motion, but current bias flow settings to support the preterm lung after birth do not have an evidence base. We aimed to determine the role of gas bias flow rates to generate positive pressure ventilation in initiating early lung injury pathways in the preterm lamb. Using slower speeds to inflate the lung during tidal ventilation (gas flow rates 4-6 L/min) did not affect lung mechanics, mechanical power, or gas exchange compared with those currently used in clinical practice (8-10 L/min). Speed of pressure and volume change during inflation were faster with higher flow rates. Lower flow rates resulted in less bronchoalveolar fluid protein, better lung morphology, and fewer detached epithelial cells. Overall, relative to unventilated fetal controls, there was greater protein change using 8-10 L/min, which was associated with enrichment of acute inflammatory and innate responses. Slowing the speed of lung motion by supporting the preterm lung from birth with lower flow rates than in current clinical use resulted in less lung injury without compromising tidal ventilation or gas exchange.

43. Mentorship in medicine is a Complex opportunity.

Author: Harper L, Hergott CA, Coderre S, Kelly-Turner K, Davis M, and McLaughlin K
Abstract: Mentorship is now recognized as essential to the personal and professional development of physicians. Over the past decade, it has become a common theme in medical education literature, and through this our understanding of mentorship has evolved. Despite this progress, we believe that the prevailing reductionist view of mentorship is oversimplified and may hinder further advances in this space. Instead, we propose that mentorship be viewed through the lens of complexity theory, positioning it as a prototypical complex adaptive system. This shift in perspective will inform our mentorship interventions and evaluations, and can avoid the disappointment that invariably follows when we apply a simple approach to a complex situation.

Abstract: Eclampsia spectrum disorders are a set of serious complications of pregnancy that commonly present after 20 weeks of gestation. There is an association between molar pregnancy, a gestational trophoblastic disease resulting from abnormal fertilisation and gametogenesis, and eclampsia spectrum disorders which can result in manifestation of pre-eclamptic symptomatology earlier than 20 weeks of gestation. We report a case of a gravida 1 para 0 in her mid 20s at 16-weeks gestation presenting with partial hydatidiform mole who developed eclampsia, haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets syndrome and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. Ultrasound findings were consistent with molar pregnancy and pathology confirmed partial molar pregnancy with triploid 69, XYY karyotype. This case highlights the early onset potential of eclampsia spectrum disorders in molar pregnancies while suggesting screening such patients for hypertensive disorders., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2024.

Abstract: Adagrasib, an irreversible, selective KRASG12C inhibitor, may be an effective treatment in KRASG12C-mutated colorectal cancer, particularly when combined with an anti-EGFR antibody. In this analysis of the KRYSTAL-1 trial, patients with previously treated KRASG12C-mutated unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer received adagrasib (600 mg twice daily) plus cetuximab. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) by blinded independent central review. Ninety-four patients received adagrasib plus cetuximab. With a median follow-up of 11.9 months, ORR was 34.0%, disease control rate was 85.1%, and median duration of response was 5.8 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.2-7.6). Median progression-free survival was 6.9 months (95% CI, 5.7-7.4) and median overall survival was 15.9 months (95% CI, 11.8-18.8). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in all patients; grade 3-4 in 27.7% and no grade 5. No TRAEs led to adagrasib discontinuation. Exploratory analyses suggest circulating tumor DNA may identify features of response and acquired resistance., Significance: Adagrasib plus cetuximab demonstrates promising clinical activity and tolerable safety in heavily pretreated patients with unresectable or metastatic KRASG12C-mutated colorectal cancer. These data support a potential new standard of care and highlight the significance of testing and identification of KRASG12C mutations in patients with colorectal cancer.

46. A role for SNU66 in maintaining 5' splice site identity during spliceosome assembly.

Abstract: In spliceosome assembly, the 5' splice site is initially recognized by U1 snRNA. U1 leaves the spliceosome during the assembly process, therefore other factors contribute to the maintenance of 5' splice site identity as it is loaded into the catalytic site. Recent structural data suggest that human tri-snRNP 27K (SNRP27) M141 and SNU66 H734 interact to stabilize the U4/U6 quasi-pseudo knot at the base of the U6 snRNA ACAGAGA box in pre-B complex. Previously, we found that mutations in Caenorhabditis elegans at SNRP-27 M141 promote changes in alternative 5'ss usage. We tested whether the potential interaction between SNRP-27 M141 and SNU-66 H765 (the C. elegans equivalent position to human SNU66 H734) contributes to maintaining 5' splice site identity during spliceosome assembly. We find that SNU-66 H765 mutants promote alternative 5' splice site usage. Many of the alternative 5' splicing events affected by SNU-66(H765G) overlap with those affected SNRP-27(M141T). Double mutants of snrp-27(M141T) and snu-66(H765G) are homozygous lethal. We hypothesize that mutations at either SNRP-27 M141 or SNU-66 H765 allow the spliceosome to load alternative 5' splice sites into the active site. Tests with mutant U1 snRNA and swapped 5' splice sites indicate that the ability of SNRP-27 M141 and SNU-66 H765 mutants to affect a particular 5' splice alternative splicing event is dependent on both the presence of a weaker consensus 5'ss nearby and potentially nearby splicing factor binding sites. Our findings confirm a new role for the C terminus of SNU-66 in maintenance of 5' splice site identity during spliceosome assembly., (© 2024 Sarka et al.; Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press for the RNA Society.)

47. Robot-Mediated Nudges for Workplace Health: Not a One-Size-Fits-All Modeling Problem.

Author: Preston RC, Dinsdale K, Shippy MR, and Fitter NT
Abstract: Prolonged sedentary behavior in the vast population of office and remote workers leads to increased cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health challenges, and existing solutions for encouraging breaks are either costly health coaches or notification systems that are easily ignored. A socially assistive robot (SAR) for promoting healthy workplace practices could provide the physical presence of a health coach along with the scalability of a notification system. To investigate the impact of such a system, we implemented a SAR as an alternative break-taking support solution and examined its impact on individual users' break-taking habits over relatively long-term deployments. We conducted an initial two-month-long study ( N = 7) to begin to understand the robot's influence beyond the point of novelty, and we followed up with a week-long data collection ( N = 14) to augment the dataset size. The resulting data was used to inform a robot behavior model and formulate possible methods of personalizing robot behaviors. We found that uninterrupted sitting time tended to decrease with our SAR intervention. During model formulation, we found participant responsiveness to the break-taking prompts could be classified into three archetypes and that archetype-specific adjustments to the general model led to improved system success. These results indicate that break-taking prompts are not a one-size-fits-all problem, and that even a small dataset can support model personalization for improving the success of assistive robotic systems., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest The authors have no competing interests to declare that are relevant to the work presented in this article.

48. Integrating rSO 2 and EEG monitoring in cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A novel methodology.

Author: Shellen S, Parnia S, Huppert EL, Gonzales AM, and Pollard K
Abstract: Despite improvements in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), survival and neurologic recovery after cardiac arrest remain poor due to ischemia and subsequent reperfusion injury. As the likelihood of survival and favorable neurologic outcome decreases with increasing severity of ischemia during CPR, developing methods to measure the magnitude of ischemia during resuscitation is critical for improving overall outcomes. Cerebral oximetry, which measures regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO 2 ) by near-infrared spectroscopy, has emerged as a potentially beneficial marker of cerebral ischemia during CPR. In numerous preclinical and clinical studies, higher rSO 2 during CPR has been associated with improved cardiac arrest survival and neurologic outcome. There is also emerging evidence that this can be integrated with electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring to provide a bimodal system of brain monitoring during CPR. In this method's review, we discuss the feasibility, application, and implications of this integrated monitoring approach, highlighting its significance for improving clinical outcomes in cardiac arrest management and guiding future research directions., Competing Interests: The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: NYU Langone Health Department of Medicine., (© 2024 The Author(s).)

Abstract: Based on the demonstrated clinical activity of immune-checkpoint blockade (ICB) in advanced dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS), we conducted a randomized, non-comparative phase 2 trial ( NCT03307616 ) of neoadjuvant nivolumab or nivolumab/ipilimumab in patients with resectable retroperitoneal DDLPS (n = 17) and extremity/truncal UPS (+ concurrent nivolumab/radiation therapy; n = 10). The primary end point of pathologic response (percent hyalinization) was a median of 8.8% in DDLPS and 89% in UPS. Secondary end points were the changes in immune infiltrate, radiographic response, 12- and 24-month relapse-free survival and overall survival. Lower densities of regulatory T cells before treatment were associated with a major pathologic response (hyalinization > 30%). Tumor infiltration by B cells was increased following neoadjuvant treatment and was associated with overall survival in DDLPS. B cell infiltration was associated with higher densities of regulatory T cells before treatment, which was lost upon ICB treatment. Our data demonstrate that neoadjuvant ICB is associated with complex immune changes within the tumor microenvironment in DDLPS and UPS and that neoadjuvant ICB with concurrent radiotherapy has significant efficacy in UPS., (© 2024.
