    Abstract With the ongoing globalization of the pharmaceutical industry, efforts to harmonize technical requirements of registering drugs and biologics, including vaccines, have produced a number of useful guidelines utilized around the world. However, such efforts have not been extended to the regulatory review process or product labeling. Prescribing information and patient information leaflet are two types of such product labeling documents. This study examined the differences in the languages of these documents between the United States (US) and European Union (EU). The key documents examined were the U.S. Food & Drug Administration's (FDA) Package Inserts (PIs), U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Vaccine Information Statements (VISs), and the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPCs) and Package Leaflets (PLs). Prescribing information and patient information leaflet languages were subsequently organized into ten and seven categories, respectively. Comparison of FDA PIs to EMA SmPCs showed little harmonization between the two regions, and CDC VISs to EMA PLs revealed even less.

    Abstract Microbes, toxins, therapeutics, and cells are often instilled into lungs of mice to model diseases and test experimental interventions. Consistent pulmonary delivery is critical for experimental power and reproducibility, but we observed variation in outcomes between handlers using different anesthetic approaches for intranasal dosing in mice. We therefore used a radiotracer to quantify lung delivery after intranasal dosing under inhalational (isoflurane) versus injectable (ketamine/xylazine) anesthesia in C57BL/6 mice. We found that ketamine/xylazine anesthesia resulted in delivery of a greater proportion (52 ± 9%) of an intranasal dose to lungs relative to isoflurane anesthesia (30 ± 15%). This difference in pulmonary dose delivery altered key outcomes in models of viral and bacterial pneumonia, with mice anesthetized with ketamine/xylazine for intranasal infection with influenza A virus or

    Abstract Antibodies can initiate lung injury in a variety of disease states such as autoimmunity, transfusion reactions, or after organ transplantation, but the key factors determining in vivo pathogenicity of injury-inducing antibodies are unclear. Harmful antibodies often activate the complement cascade. A model for how IgG antibodies trigger complement activation involves interactions between IgG Fc domains driving assembly of IgG hexamer structures that activate C1 complexes. The importance of IgG hexamers in initiating injury responses was unclear, so we tested their relevance in a mouse model of alloantibody and complement-mediated acute lung injury. We used three approaches to block alloantibody hexamerization (antibody carbamylation, the K439E Fc mutation, or treatment with domain B from Staphylococcal protein A), all of which reduced acute lung injury. Conversely, Fc mutations promoting spontaneous hexamerization made a harmful alloantibody into a more potent inducer of acute lung injury and rendered an innocuous alloantibody pathogenic. Treatment with a recombinant Fc hexamer 'decoy' therapeutic protected mice from lung injury, including in a model with transgenic human FCGR2A expression that exacerbated pathology. These results indicate an in vivo role of IgG hexamerization in initiating acute lung injury and the potential for therapeutics that inhibit or mimic hexamerization to treat antibody-mediated diseases.

    Abstract Antibodies can initiate lung injury in a variety of disease states such as autoimmunity, transfusion reactions, or after organ transplantation, but the key factors determining in vivo pathogenicity of injury-inducing antibodies are unclear. A previously overlooked step in complement activation by IgG antibodies has been elucidated involving interactions between IgG Fc domains that enable assembly of IgG hexamers, which can optimally activate the complement cascade. Here, we tested the in vivo relevance of IgG hexamers in a complement-dependent alloantibody model of acute lung injury. We used three approaches to block alloantibody hexamerization (antibody carbamylation, the K439E Fc mutation, or treatment with domain B from Staphylococcal protein A), all of which reduced acute lung injury. Conversely, Fc mutations promoting spontaneous hexamerization made a harmful alloantibody into a more potent inducer of acute lung injury and rendered an innocuous alloantibody pathogenic. Treatment with a recombinant Fc hexamer 'decoy' therapeutic protected mice from lung injury, including in a model with transgenic human FCGR2A expression that exacerbated pathology. These results indicate a direct in vivo role of IgG hexamerization in initiating acute lung injury and the potential for therapeutics that inhibit or mimic hexamerization to treat antibody-mediated diseases.

    Abstract Microbes, toxins, therapeutics and cells are often instilled into lungs of mice to model diseases and test experimental interventions. Consistent pulmonary delivery is critical for experimental power and reproducibility, but we observed variation in outcomes between handlers using different anesthetic approaches for intranasal dosing into mice. We therefore used a radiotracer to quantify lung delivery after intranasal dosing under inhalational (isoflurane) versus injectable (ketamine/xylazine) anesthesia in C57BL/6 mice. We found that ketamine/xylazine anesthesia resulted in delivery of a greater proportion (52±9%) of an intranasal dose to lungs relative to isoflurane anesthesia (30±15%). This difference in pulmonary dose delivery altered key outcomes in models of viral and bacterial pneumonia, with mice anesthetized with ketamine/xylazine for intranasal infection with influenza A virus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa developing more robust lung inflammation responses relative to control animals randomized to isoflurane anesthesia. Pulmonary dosing efficiency through oropharyngeal aspiration was not affected by anesthetic method and resulted in delivery of 63±8% of dose to lungs, and a non-surgical intratracheal dosing approach further increased lung delivery to 92±6% of dose. Use of either of these more precise dosing methods yielded greater experimental power in the bacterial pneumonia model relative to intranasal infection. Both anesthetic approach and dosing route can impact pulmonary dosing efficiency. These factors affect experimental power and so should be considered when planning and reporting studies involving delivery of fluids to lungs of mice.

    Abstract Subretinal prostheses have been developed to stimulate survived retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), indirectly following the physiological visual pathways. However, current spreading from the prosthesis electrode causes the activation of unintended RGCs, thereby limiting the spatial resolution of artificial vision. This study proposes a strategy for focal stimulation of RGCs using a subretinal electrode array, in which six hexagonally arranged peripheral electrodes surround a stimulating electrode. RGCs in an in-vitro condition were subretinally stimulated using a fabricated electrode array coated with iridium oxide, following the three different stimulation configurations (with no peripheral, six electrodes of opposite current, and six ground). In-vitro experiments showed that the stimulation with six electrodes of opposite current was most effective in controlling RGC responses with a high spatial resolution. The results suggest that the effective utilization of return electrodes, such as by applying an opposite current to them, could help reduce current spreading beyond the local area targeted for stimulation and elicit RGC responses only in the vicinity of the stimulating electrode.

    Abstract Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) are both key factors involved in the development and progression of hematological malignancies. Clinical studies have demonstrated the potential of various EZH2 inhibitors, which target the methyltransferase activity of EZH2, for the treatment of lymphomas. However, despite their ability to effectively reduce the H3K27me3 levels, these inhibitors have shown limited efficacy in blocking the proliferation of lymphoma cells. To overcome this challenge, we employed a hydrophobic tagging approach utilizing MS1943, a selective EZH2 degrader. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effects of two drugs, the FDA-approved EZH2 inhibitor Tazemetostat, currently undergoing clinical trials, and the novel drug MS1943, on Burkitt's lymphoma. Furthermore, we assessed the potential synergistic effect of combining these drugs with the BTK inhibitor Ibrutinib. In this study, we evaluated the effects of combination therapy with MS1943 and Ibrutinib on the proliferation of three Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines, namely RPMI1788, Ramos, and Daudi cells. Our results demonstrated that the combination of MS1943 and Ibrutinib significantly suppressed cell proliferation to a greater extent compared to the combination of Tazemetostat and Ibrutinib. Additionally, we investigated the underlying mechanisms of action and found that the combination therapy of MS1943 and Ibrutinib led to the upregulation of miR29B-mediated p53-upregulated modulator of apoptosis PUMA, BAX, cleaved PARP, and cleaved caspase-3 in Burkitt's lymphoma cells. These findings highlight the potential of this innovative therapeutic strategy as an alternative to traditional EZH2 inhibitors, offering promising prospects for improving treatment outcomes in Burkitt's lymphoma.

    Abstract Sepsis, the leading cause of mortality in hospitals, currently lacks effective early diagnostics. A new cellular host response test, the IntelliSep test, may provide an indicator of the immune dysregulation characterizing sepsis. The objective of this study was to examine the correlation between the measurements performed using this test and biological markers and processes associated with sepsis. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), an agonist of neutrophils known to induce neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, was added to whole blood of healthy volunteers at concentrations of 0, 200, and 400 nM and then evaluated using the IntelliSep test. Separately, plasma from a cohort of subjects was segregated into Control and Diseased populations and tested for levels of NET components (citrullinated histone (cit-H3) DNA and neutrophil elastase (NE) DNA) using customized ELISA assays and correlated with ISI scores from the same patient samples. Significant increases in IntelliSep Index (ISI) scores were observed with increasing concentrations of PMA in healthy blood (0 and 200:

    Abstract Hydrogels have the potential to play a crucial role in bioelectronics, as they share many properties with human tissues. However, to effectively bridge the gap between electronics and biological systems, hydrogels must possess multiple functionalities, including toughness, stretchability, self-healing ability, three-dimensional (3D) printability, and electrical conductivity. Fabricating such tough and self-healing materials has been reported, but it still remains a challenge to fulfill all of those features, and in particular, 3D printing of hydrogel is in the early stage of the research. In this paper, we present a 3D printable, tough, and self-healing multi-functional hydrogel in one platform made from a blend of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), tannic acid (TA), and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) hydrogel ink (PVA/TA/PAA hydrogel ink). Based on a reversible hydrogen-bond (H-bond)-based double network, the developed 3D printable hydrogel ink showed excellent printability via shear-thinning behavior, allowing high printing resolution (~100 μm) and successful fabrication of 3D-printed structure by layer-by-layer printing. Moreover, the PVA/TA/PAA hydrogel ink exhibited high toughness (tensile loading of up to ~45.6 kPa), stretchability (elongation of approximately 650%), tissue-like Young's modulus (~15 kPa), and self-healing ability within 5 min. Furthermore, carbon nanotube (CNT) fillers were successfully added to enhance the electrical conductivity of the hydrogel. We confirmed the practicality of the hydrogel inks for bioelectronics by demonstrating biocompatibility, tissue adhesiveness, and strain sensing ability through PVA/TA/PAA/CNT hydrogel ink.
