A Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning Framework for Evaluating the U.S. Ending the HIV Epidemic Plan [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a major public health concern in the United States, with about 1.2 million people living with HIV and 35,000 newly infected each year. There are considerable geographical disparities in HIV burden and care access across the U.S.

Thermal proteome profiling and proteome analysis using high‐definition mass spectrometry demonstrate modulation of cholesterol biosynthesis by next‐generation galeterone analog VNPP433‐3β in castration‐resistant prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Elevated level of cholesterol is positively correlated to prostate cancer development and disease severity. Cholesterol‐lowering drugs, such as statins, are demonstrated to inhibit prostate cancer. VNPP433‐3β interrupts multiple signaling and metabolic pathways, including cholesterol biosynthesis, AR‐mediated transcription of several oncogenes, mRNA 5′

HIVEP3 cooperates with ferroptosis gene signatures to confer adverse prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia

Cancer Medicine, Volume 11, Issue 24, Page 5050-5065, December 2022., 2022
The aberrant expression pattern and prognostic implications of HIVEP3 in AML were explored and validated based on versatile bioinformatics tools. A LASSO model which combined HIVEP3 with ferroptosis regulators was created to predict the prognosis for AML patients.

Simulations of HIV capsid protein dimerization reveal the effect of chemistry and topography on the mechanism of hydrophobic protein association [PDF]

, 2012
Recent work has shown that the hydrophobic protein surfaces in aqueous solution sit near a drying transition. The tendency for these surfaces to expel water from their vicinity leads to self assembly of macromolecular complexes. In this article we show with a realistic model for a biologically pertinent system how this phenomenon appears at the ...

Generating Synthetic Clinical Data that Capture Class Imbalanced Distributions with Generative Adversarial Networks: Example using Antiretroviral Therapy for HIV [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Clinical data usually cannot be freely distributed due to their highly confidential nature and this hampers the development of machine learning in the healthcare domain. One way to mitigate this problem is by generating realistic synthetic datasets using generative adversarial networks (GANs).

Targeting the AKT/mTOR pathway attenuates the metastatic potential of colorectal carcinoma circulating tumor cells in a murine xenotransplantation model

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dual targeting of AKT and mTOR using MK2206 and RAD001 reduces tumor burden in an intracardiac colon cancer circulating tumor cell xenotransplantation model. Analysis of AKT isoform‐specific knockdowns in CTC‐MCC‐41 reveals differentially regulated proteins and phospho‐proteins by liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry. Circulating tumor cells

Interleukin 6/gp130 axis promotes neural invasion in pancreatic cancer

Cancer Medicine, Volume 11, Issue 24, Page 5001-5012, December 2022., 2022
Nerve invasion (N‐inv) is an important prognostic factor in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). To elucidate circulating stimulators for nerve invasion, the authors evaluated the stimulant activity and the inhibitory effects of IL‐6/gp130 axis. Biological activity of IL‐6/gp130 axis promoted nerve invasion in murine model and was upregulated in ...

Local Immunodeficiency: Role of Neutral Viruses [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
This paper analyzes the role of neutral viruses in the phenomenon of local immunodeficiency. We show that, even in the absence of altruistic viruses, neutral viruses can support the existence of persistent viruses, and thus local immunodeficiency. However, in all such cases neutral viruses can maintain only bounded (relatively small) concentration of ...

Multiobjective optimization to a TB-HIV/AIDS coinfection optimal control problem [PDF]

Comput. Appl. Math. 37 (2018), no. 2, 2112--2128, 2017
We consider a recent coinfection model for Tuberculosis (TB), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) proposed in [Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. 35 (2015), no. 9, 4639--4663]. We introduce and analyze a multiobjective formulation of an optimal control problem, where the two conflicting objectives are ...

Comparative single‐cell transcriptomic profiling of patient‐derived renal carcinoma cells in cellular and animal models of kidney cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We generated and characterized clear cell renal cell carcinoma models using the patient‐derived RCC243 cell line—including cell culture, orthotopic, and metastatic tumors—via single‐cell RNA‐sequencing for comparisons between models and patient tumor datasets.
