    Abstract Background: Transient receptor potential melastatin 3 (TRPM3) cation channels are ubiquitously expressed by multiple cells and have an important regulatory role in calcium-dependent cell signalling to help maintain cellular homeostasis. TRPM3 protein expression has yet to be determined on Natural Killer (NK) cells and B lymphocytes. Multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms have been reported in TRPM3 genes from isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells, NK and B cells in Chronic fatigue syndrome/Myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) patients and have been proposed to correlate with illness presentation. The object of the study was to assess TRPM3 surface expression on NK and B lymphocytes from healthy controls, followed by a comparative investigation examining TRPM3 surface expression, and cytoplasmic and mitochondrial calcium influx in CD19(+) B cells, CD56(bright) and CD56(dim) cell populations from CFS/ME patients.
    Results: TRPM3 cell surface expression was identified for NK and B lymphocytes in healthy controls (CD56(bright) TRPM3 35.72 % ± 7.37; CD56(dim) 5.74 % ± 2.00; B lymphocytes 2.05 % ± 0.19, respectively). There was a significant reduction of TRPM3 surface expression on CD19(+) B cells (1.56 ± 0.191) and CD56(bright) NK cells (17.37 % ± 5.34) in CFS/ME compared with healthy controls. Anti-CD21 and anti-IgM conjugated biotin was cross-linked with streptavidin,and subsequently treatment with thapsigargin. This showed a significant reduction in cytoplasmic calcium ion concentration in CD19(+) B lymphocytes. CD56(bright) NK cells also had a significant decrease in cytoplasmic calcium in the presence of 2-APB and thapsigargin in CFS/ME patients.
    Conclusions: The results from this preliminary investigation identify, for the first time, TRPM3 surface expression on both NK and B lymphocytes in healthy controls. We also report for the first time, significant reduction in TRPM3 cell surface expression in NK and B lymphocytes, as well as decreased intracellular calcium within specific conditions in CFS/ME patients. This warrants further examination of these pathways to elucidate whether TRPM3 and impaired calcium mobilisation has a role in CFS/ME.

    Abstract Gallo et al. assessed the impact of implementing a clinical decision support tool in a multi-hospital setting. This is one of three important points to unlock the capabilities of the next-generation of diagnostic instruments: (a) integrating diagnostic information from various sources, (b) ensuring accurate development and validation in well-designed clinical studies and (c) seamlessly integrating them into clinical practice.

    Abstract The classification and risk stratification of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is based on reliable genetic diagnostics. A broad and expanding variety of relevant aberrations are structural variants beyond single-nucleotide variants. Optical Genome Mapping is an unbiased, genome-wide, amplification-free method for the detection of structural variants. In this review, the current knowledge of Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) with regard to diagnostics in hematological malignancies in general, and AML in specific, is summarized. Furthermore, this review focuses on the ability of OGM to expand the use of cytogenetic diagnostics in AML and perhaps even replace older techniques such as chromosomal-banding analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization, or copy number variation microarrays. Finally, OGM is compared to amplification-based techniques and a brief outlook for future directions is given.

    Abstract In the case of maxillary involution, augmentation is necessary for implant-supported prosthetics. The use of bone grafts is standard; customized allogeneic bone blocks may be a predictable alternative before dental implantation. For maxillary full-arch reconstruction, this case shows a horse-shoe augmentation by four allogeneic blocks, followed by guided dental implantation and fixed prosthetics after 6 months of healing. Using allogeneic blocks is an option for full-arch maxillary augmentation and comparable with autologous bone grafts. There is no donor site comorbidity. Bone height is stable for a minimum of 3 years after loading with resorption less than 10% in vertical, buccolingual, and mesiodistal directions. Short-implants allow for the long-term stability of prosthetic fixtures. Prefabricated customized allogeneic blocks for augmentation may increase the fitting accuracy of the graft, decrease morbidity, and lower operation time in maxillary full-arch reconstruction. The percentage of resorption after 3 years is comparable to the commonly used iliac crest.

    Abstract Background: Blocking Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 4 (TRPM4) in rodents by our antibody M4P has shown to attenuate cerebral ischaemia-reperfusion injury. Since M4P does not interact with human TRPM4, the therapeutic potential of blocking human TRPM4 remains unclear. We developed a monoclonal antibody M4M that inhibited human TRPM4 in cultured cells. However, M4M has no effect on stroke outcome in wild-type rats. Therefore, M4M needs to be evaluated on animal models expressing human TRPM4.
    Methods: We generated a humanised rat model using the CRISPR/Cas technique to knock-in (KI) the human TRPM4 antigen sequence.
    Results: In primary neurons from human TRPM4 KI rats, M4M binds to hypoxic neurons, but not normoxic nor wild-type neurons. Electrophysiological studies showed that M4M blocked ATP depletion-induced activation of TRPM4 and inhibited hypoxia-associated cell volume increase. In a stroke model, administration of M4M reduced infarct volume in KI rats. Rotarod test and Neurological deficit score revealed improvement following M4M treatment.
    Conclusion: M4M selectively binds and inhibits hypoxia-induced human TRPM4 channel activation in neurons from the humanised rat model, with no effect on healthy neurons. Use of M4M in stroke rats showed functional improvements, suggesting the potential for anti-human TRPM4 antibodies in treating acute ischaemic stroke patients.

    Abstract Excitotoxicity arises from unusually excessive activation of excitatory amino acid receptors such as glutamate receptors. Following an energy crisis, excitotoxicity is a major cause for neuronal death in neurological disorders. Many glutamate antagonists have been examined for their efficacy in mitigating excitotoxicity, but failed to generate beneficial outcome due to their side effects on healthy neurons where glutamate receptors are also blocked. In this study, we found that during chronic hypoxia there is upregulation and activation of a nonselective cation channel TRPM4 that contributes to the depolarized neuronal membrane potential and enhanced glutamate-induced calcium entry. TRPM4 is involved in modulating neuronal membrane excitability and calcium signaling, with a complex and multifaceted role in the brain. Here, we inhibited TRPM4 using a newly developed blocking antibody M4P, which could repolarize the resting membrane potential and ameliorate calcium influx upon glutamate stimulation. Importantly, M4P did not affect the functions of healthy neurons as the activity of TRPM4 channel is not upregulated under normoxia. Using a rat model of chronic hypoxia with both common carotid arteries occluded, we found that M4P treatment could reduce apoptosis in the neurons within the hippocampus, attenuate long-term potentiation impairment and improve the functions of learning and memory in this rat model. With specificity to hypoxic neurons, TRPM4 blocking antibody can be a novel way of controlling excitotoxicity with minimal side effects that are common among direct blockers of glutamate receptors.
