    Abstract Purpose: Speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) is important in DNA damage response (DDR) and maintenance of genomic stability. Somatic heterozygous missense mutations in the SPOP substrate-binding cleft are found in up to 15% of prostate cancers. While mutations in SPOP predict for benefit from androgen receptor signaling inhibition (ARSi) therapy, outcomes for patients with SPOP-mutant (SPOPmut) prostate cancer are heterogeneous and targeted treatments for SPOPmut castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) are lacking.
    Experimental design: Using in silico genomic and transcriptomic tumor data, proteomics analysis, and genetically modified cell line models, we demonstrate mechanistic links between SPOP mutations, STING signaling alterations, and PARP inhibitor vulnerabilities.
    Results: We demonstrate that SPOP mutations are associated with upregulation of a 29-gene noncanonical (NC) STING (NC-STING) signature in a subset of SPOPmut, treatment-refractory CRPC patients. We show in preclinical CRPC models that SPOP targets and destabilizes STING1 protein, and prostate cancer-associated SPOP mutations result in upregulated NC-STING-NF-κB signaling and macrophage- and tumor microenvironment (TME)-facilitated reprogramming, leading to tumor cell growth. Importantly, we provide in vitro and in vivo mechanism-based evidence that PARP inhibitor (PARPi) treatment results in a shift from immunosuppressive NC-STING-NF-κB signaling to antitumor, canonical cGAS-STING-IFNβ signaling in SPOPmut CRPC and results in enhanced tumor growth inhibition.
    Conclusions: We provide evidence that SPOP is critical in regulating immunosuppressive versus antitumor activity downstream of DNA damage-induced STING1 activation in prostate cancer. PARPi treatment of SPOPmut CRPC alters this NC-STING signaling toward canonical, antitumor cGAS-STING-IFNβ signaling, highlighting a novel biomarker-informed treatment strategy for prostate cancer.

    Abstract We disclose a novel strategy to design n-type acenes through the introduction of boron-nitrogen coordination bonds (B←N). We synthesized two azaacenes composed of two B←N units and six/eight linearly annelated rings. The B←N unit significantly perturbed the electronic structures of the azaacenes: Unique LUMOs delocalized over the entire acene skeletons and decreased aromaticity of the B←N-adjacent rings. Most importantly, these B←N-containing azaacenes exhibited low-lying LUMO energy levels and high electron affinities, thus leading to n-type character. The solution-processed organic field-effect transistor based on one such azaacene exhibited unipolar n-type characteristics with an electron mobility of 0.21 cm

    Abstract Purpose: Despite significant benefit for other cancer subtypes, immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy has not yet been shown to significantly improve outcomes for men with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Prior data have shown that DNA damage response (DDR) deficiency, via genetic alteration and/or pharmacologic induction using DDR inhibitors (DDRi), may improve ICB response in solid tumors in part due to induction of mitotic catastrophe and innate immune activation. Discerning the underlying mechanisms of this DDRi-ICB interaction in a prostate cancer-specific manner is vital to guide novel clinical trials and provide durable clinical responses for men with CRPC.
    Experimental design: We treated prostate cancer cell lines with potent, specific inhibitors of ATR kinase, as well as with PARP inhibitor, olaparib. We performed analyses of cGAS-STING and DDR signaling in treated cells, and treated a syngeneic androgen-indifferent, prostate cancer model with combined ATR inhibition and anti-programmed death ligand 1 (anti-PD-L1), and performed single-cell RNA sequencing analysis in treated tumors.
    Results: ATR inhibitor (ATRi; BAY1895433) directly repressed ATR-CHK1 signaling, activated CDK1-SPOP axis, leading to destabilization of PD-L1 protein. These effects of ATRi are distinct from those of olaparib, and resulted in a cGAS-STING-initiated, IFN-β-mediated, autocrine, apoptotic response in CRPC. The combination of ATRi with anti-PD-L1 therapy resulted in robust innate immune activation and a synergistic, T-cell-dependent therapeutic response in our syngeneic mouse model.
    Conclusions: This work provides a molecular mechanistic rationale for combining ATR-targeted agents with immune checkpoint blockade for patients with CRPC. Multiple early-phase clinical trials of this combination are underway.

    Abstract Cartilage dyshomeostasis contributes to osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α has critical role in this process by driving inflammatory cascades and cartilage degradation. However, the negative regulation of TNF-α-mediated signaling remains undefined. Here we demonstrate the crucial role of miR-145 in the modulation of TNF-α-mediated signaling and cartilage matrix degradation. MicroRNA (miRNA) expression profiles of TNF-α-stimulated chondrocytes showed that miR-145 expression was rapidly downregulated by TNF-α. Moreover, miR-145 was directly repressed by p65 and was negatively correlated with TNF-α secretion during OA progression. Further, we found that miR-145 directly targeted mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MKK4) and broadly restrained the production of several TNF-α-triggered matrix-degrading enzymes (MMP-3, MMP-13, and Adamts-5). Mechanistic studies unveiled that miR-145 negatively regulated TNF-α-mediated JNK and p38 activation, as well as the nuclear accumulation of p-c-Jun and p-ATF2, by inhibiting MKK4 phosphorylation, eventually resulting in the alteration of catabolic genes transcription. Indeed, p-ATF2 interacted with the promoter of Mmp-13, whereas p-c-Jun bound to promoters of Mmp-3 and Adamts-5. MKK4 was significantly elevated in OA cartilage. Eliminating MKK4 by short hairpin RNA resulted in obviously decreased matrix-degrading enzymes production, JNK and p38 inactivation, and an inhibition of cartilage degradation. On the contrary, MKK4 overexpression enhanced TNF-α-mediated signaling activation and transcription of downstream catabolic genes, and consequently worsened cartilage degradation. Moreover, intra-articular (IA) injection of miR-145 agonist to rat with surgery-induced OA alleviated cartilage destruction. Altogether, we elucidate a novel regulatory mechanism underlying TNF-α-triggered cartilage degradation and demonstrate the potential utility of miR-145 and MKK4 as therapy targets for OA.

    Abstract The artificial intelligence (AI) system has achieved expert-level performance in electrocardiogram (ECG) signal analysis. However, in underdeveloped countries or regions where the healthcare information system is imperfect, only paper ECGs can be provided. Analysis of real-world ECG images (photos or scans of paper ECGs) remains challenging due to complex environments or interference. In this study, we present an AI system developed to detect and screen cardiac abnormalities (CAs) from real-world ECG images. The system was evaluated on a large dataset of 52,357 patients from multiple regions and populations across the world. On the detection task, the AI system obtained area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) of 0.996 (hold-out test), 0.994 (external test 1), 0.984 (external test 2), and 0.979 (external test 3), respectively. Meanwhile, the detection results of AI system showed a strong correlation with the diagnosis of cardiologists (cardiologist 1 (R=0.794, p<1e-3), cardiologist 2 (R=0.812, p<1e-3)). On the screening task, the AI system achieved AUCs of 0.894 (hold-out test) and 0.850 (external test). The screening performance of the AI system was better than that of the cardiologists (AI system (0.846) vs. cardiologist 1 (0.520) vs. cardiologist 2 (0.480)). Our study demonstrates the feasibility of an accurate, objective, easy-to-use, fast, and low-cost AI system for CA detection and screening. The system has the potential to be used by healthcare professionals, caregivers, and general users to assess CAs based on real-world ECG images.

    Abstract Background: An accurate identification of individuals at ultra-high risk (UHR) based on psychometric tools to prospectively identify psychosis as early as possible is required for indicated preventive intervention. The diagnostic comparability of several psychometric tools, including the comprehensive assessment of at risk mental state (CAARMS), the structured interview for psychosis-risk syndrome (SIPS) and the bonn scale for the assessment of basic symptoms (BSABS), is unknown.
    Aim: To address the psychometric comparability of CAARMS, SIPS and BSABS for subjects who are close relatives of patients with schizophrenia.
    Methods: In total, 189 participants aged 18-58 years who were lineal relative by blood and collateral relatives by blood up to the third degree of kinship of patients with schizophrenia were interviewed in the period of May 2017 to January 2019. Relatives of the participants diagnosed schizophrenia were excluded. All the participants were assessed for a UHR state by three psychometric tools (CAARMS, SIPS and BSABS). The psychometric diagnosis results included at risk of psychosis (UHR+), not at risk of psychosis (UHR-) and psychosis. Demographic and clinical characteristics were also measured. The inter-rater agreement was assessed for evaluation of the coherence of the three scales. Transition rates for UHR+ subjects to psychosis within 2 years were also recorded.
    Results: The overall agreement percentages were 93.12%, 92.06% and 93.65% of CAARMS and SIPS, SIPS and BSABS and CAARMS and BSABS, respectively. The overall agreement percentage of the relative functional impairment of the three groups (UHR+, not at risk of psychosis and psychosis) were 89.24%, 86.36% and 88.12%, respectively. The inter-rater reliability of the CAARMS, SIPS and BSABS total score was 0.90, 0.89 and 0.85. The inter-rater reliability was very good to excellent for all the subscales of these three instruments. For CAARMS, SIPS and BSABS, the kappa coefficient about UHR criteria agreement was 0.87, 0.84 and 0.82, respectively (
    Conclusion: There is good diagnostic agreement between the CAARMS, SIPS and BSABS towards identification of UHR participants who are close relatives of patients with schizophrenia.
