Finally, Dd reached peripheral monocytes and bone marrow hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells following intravenous injection in mice, without excessive spreading in other organs. These findings reveal Dd as a promising myeloid vector especially for therapeutic purposes in AML blasts, LSCs, and progenitor cells.Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) is an X-linked liver disorder caused by partial or total loss of OTC enzyme activity. It is characterized by elevated plasma ammonia, leading to neurological impairments, coma, and death in the most severe cases. OTCD is managed by combining dietary restrictions, essential amino acids, and ammonia scavengers. However, to date, liver transplantation provides the best therapeutic outcome. AAV-mediated gene-replacement therapy represents a promising curative strategy. Here, we generated an AAV2/8 vector expressing a codon-optimized human OTC cDNA by the α1-AAT liver-specific promoter. Unlike standard codon-optimization approaches, we performed multiple codon-optimization rounds via common algorithms and ortholog sequence analysis that significantly improved mRNA translatability and therapeutic efficacy. AAV8-hOTC-CO (codon optimized) vector injection into adult OTCSpf-Ash mice (5.0E11 vg/kg) mediated long-term complete correction of the phenotype. Adeno-Associated viral (AAV) vector treatment restored the physiological ammonia detoxification liver function, as indicated by urinary orotic acid normalization and by conferring full protection against an ammonia challenge. Removal of liver-specific transcription factor binding sites from the AAV backbone did not affect gene expression levels, with a potential improvement in safety. These results demonstrate that AAV8-hOTC-CO gene transfer is safe and results in sustained correction of OTCD in mice, supporting the translation of this approach to the clinic.Gene and cell therapy fields have experienced remarkable growth during the past decade. Demands for preclinical and clinical safety assessments of these cell and gene therapy test articles (TAs) have effectively increased the necessity for regulated biodistribution, vector shedding, gene expression, and/or pharmacokinetics bioanalysis studies. Guidance documents issued from numerous international regulatory authorities recommend the use of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and/or quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR) assays due to their highly sensitive and robust target-specific detection. However, only preclinical biodistribution assay sensitivity is specified in these documents. Criteria such as accuracy, precision, and repeatability are not yet defined. This guidance void has resulted in several conflicting institutional interpretations of essential parameters necessary for the development and validation of robust assays to support safety assessments of gene and cell therapy TAs. There is an urgent need for an ongoing discussion among bioanalytical scientists in this field to generate a "best practice" consensus around preclinical and clinical qPCR/qRT-PCR assay design. With regard to this need, we offer critical points to consider when developing, validating, running sample analysis, and reporting qPCR/qRT-PCR assays.Exosome-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) are potential diagnostic biomarkers. However, little is known about their effectiveness as diagnostic biomarkers of fulminant myocarditis (FM). This study aimed to explore serum exosomal miRNAs as potential biomarkers for FM diagnosis. Peripheral blood samples were collected from 99 patients with FM, 32 patients with nonfulminant myocarditis (NFM), and 105 healthy controls (HCs). The miRNA expression profiles of serum exosomes were determined using next-generation sequencing, and differentially expressed miRNAs were further analyzed by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. A logistic regression model was constructed using a training cohort (n = 120) and then validated using an independent cohort (n = 106). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate diagnostic accuracy. Deutenzalutamide chemical structure In FM patients, hsa-miR-30a, hsa-miR-192, hsa-miR-146a, hsa-miR-155, and hsa-miR-320a were validated as significantly and differentially expressed candidates that could serve as potential markers for diagnosing FM. In addition, the miRNA panel (hsa-miR-155 and hsa-miR-320a) from the multivariate logistic regression model demonstrated high accuracy in the diagnosis of FM and was able to distinguish FM from HCs and NFM. Moreover, the diagnostic value of the miRNA panel was greater than that of CRP and cTn alone or together. The miRNA panel provided the excellent diagnostic capability for FM.HMGB1 is an important mediator of inflammation during ischemia-reperfusion injury on organs. The serum expression of HMGB1 was increased significantly on the 1st day after TACE and decreased significantly which was lower on the 30th day after TACE. Tumor markers of post-DEB-TACE decreased significantly. The correlational analysis showed that patients with low HMGB1 expression had lower risks of fever and liver injury compared those with the higher expression, while the ORR is relatively worse. Patients with lower expression of HMGB1 had longer PFS, better efficacy, and higher quality of life. With the high post-expression, the low expression had lower incidence of fever and liver injury too. There was no statistical difference in the one-year survival among the different groups. The quality of life of all patients was improved significantly. The over-expression of HMGB1 in LMCRC is an adverse prognostic feature and a positive predictor of response to TACE.Species differences in hepatic metabolism of thyroxine (T4) by uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase (UGT) and susceptibility to thyroid hormone imbalance could underlie differences in thyroid carcinogenesis caused by hepatic enzyme inducers in rats and humans. To investigate this hypothesis we examined profiles of hepatic UGT induction by the prototypical CAR activator phenobarbital (PB) in rat and human liver 3D microtissues. The rationale for this approach was that 3D microtissues would generate data more relevant to humans. Rat and human liver 3D microtissues were exposed to PB over a range of concentrations (500 u M - 2000 u M) and times (24-96 hr). Microarray and proteomics analyses were performed on parallel samples to generate integrated differentially expressed gene (DEG) datasets. Bioinformatics analysis of DEG data, including CAR response element (CRE) sequence analysis of UGT promoters, was used to assess species differences in UGT induction relative to CAR-mediated transactivation potential.
