UV-Sensitivity of Shiga Toxin-Converting Bacteriophage Virions Φ24B, 933W, P22, P27 and P32

Toxins, 2015
Shiga toxin-converting bacteriophages (Stx phages) are present as prophages in Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains. Theses phages can be transmitted to previously non-pathogenic E.

Prospective Trial on Tolerability and Efficacy of Adjuvant Nedaplatin Plus Docetaxel for Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
The flow of this trial and the treatment schedule of adjuvant chemotherapy with nedaplatin plus docetaxel for completely resected non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (A). The primary endpoint of this study was tolerability, assessed by the completion rate of the planned four chemotherapy cycles. As a result, it was 74.3%, exceeding that reported for the

A Three‐Dimensional Culture–Drug Sensitivity Test Predicts MDM2 Inhibitor–Sensitivity in SMARCB1/INI1‐Deficient Tumors

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
This study aimed to determine whether personalized selection of effective drugs for SMARCB1/INI1‐deficient tumors is feasible using in vitro drug sensitivity profiling. Drug sensitivity was assessed using a short‐term collagen gel–embedded three‐dimensional drug sensitivity test (3D‐DST) in tumors derived from SMARCB1/INI1‐deficient tumor cell line ...

Targeted Photo‐Induced Elimination of Tumor‐Associated Macrophages Suppresses Cancer Progression in a Murine Model

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the selective depletion of tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) by targeting CSF1R through near‐infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR‐PIT). Using a combination of anti‐CSF1R Fab‐IR700 conjugates and localized light irradiation, we achieved tumor suppression and durable antitumor immunity without systemic toxicity.

Purification and Characterization of Shiga Toxin 2f, an Immunologically Unrelated Subtype of Shiga Toxin 2

PLoS ONE, 2013
Shiga-like toxin 2 (Stx2) is one of the most important virulence factors in enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains such as O157H7. Subtypes of Stx2 are diverse with respect to their sequence, toxicity, and distribution. The most diverse Stx2 subtype, Stx2f, is difficult to detect immunologically, but is becoming more frequently ...

Inborn errors of immunity in children with neuroinflammation

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Inborn errors of immunity (IEIs), an expanding group of monogenic disorders with diverse clinical manifestations, are increasingly recognized to include neuroinflammatory disease. Examples of diseases included under this umbrella are Aicardi–Goutières syndrome, deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2, familial haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis ...

Shiga Toxin 1a Blunts Shiga Toxin 2a-pathogenic Effects in Blood

Thrombosis and Haemostasis
ABSTRACT Once released into human blood, Shiga toxins (Stx) interact with platelets and leukocytes, stimulating them to form aggregates and to release pathogenic extracellular vesicles (EV) containing Stx. These EV are considered the trigger driving the transition from bloody diarrhea to the life-threatening hemolytic uremic syndrome (

Quantitative Detection of Shiga Toxins Directly from Stool Specimens of Patients Associated with an Outbreak of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli in Japan—Quantitative Shiga toxin detection from stool during EHEC outbreak

Toxins, 2015
Detection of Shiga toxins (Stx) is important for accurate diagnosis of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli infection. In this study, we quantitatively analyzed Stx protein in nine patients’ stool during an outbreak that occurred in Japan.

Iloperidone treatment mitigates the Juvenile Huntington's Disease phenotype possibly via Sigma‐1 Receptor Modulation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We investigated the potential of iloperidone as an activator of Sigma‐1 receptor (S1R) neuroprotective function in juvenile Huntington's disease (jHD). We tested iloperidone on cortical neurons differentiated from patient‐derived iPSCs, demonstrating that it acts as a S1R agonist, decreasing apoptosis, huntingtin aggregation, and oxidative stress ...
