    Abstract Low endosomal pH facilitates herpesvirus entry in a cell-specific manner. Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) causes significant morbidity and death in humans worldwide. HSV-1 enters cells by low-pH and neutral-pH pathways. Low-pH-induced conformational changes in the HSV envelope glycoprotein B (gB) may mediate membrane fusion during viral entry. HSV-1 gC, a 511-amino acid, type I integral membrane glycoprotein, mediates HSV-1 attachment to host cell surface glycosaminoglycans, but this interaction is not essential for viral entry. We previously demonstrated that gC regulates low-pH viral entry independent of its known role in cell attachment. Low-pH-triggered conformational changes in gB occur at a lower pH when gC is absent, suggesting that gC positively regulates gB conformational changes. Here, we demonstrate that mildly acidic pH triggers conformational changes in gC itself. Low-pH treatment of virions induced antigenic changes in distinct gC epitopes, and those changes were reversible. One of these gC epitopes is recognized by a monoclonal antibody that binds to a linear sequence that includes residues within gC amino acids 33 to 123. This antibody inhibited low-pH entry of HSV, suggesting that its gC N-terminal epitope is particularly important. We propose that gC plays a critical role in HSV entry through a low-pH endocytosis pathway, which is a major entry route in human epithelial cells.

    Abstract Serum biomarkers are the gold standard in non-invasive disease diagnosis and have tremendous potential as prognostic and theranostic tools for patient stratification. Circulating levels of extracellular matrix molecules are gaining traction as an easily accessible means to assess tissue pathology. However, matrix molecules are large, multimodular proteins that are subject to a vast array of post-transcriptional and post-translational modifications. These modifications often occur in a tissue- and/or disease-specific manner, generating hundreds of different variants, each with distinct biological roles. Whilst this complexity can offer unique insight into disease processes, it also has the potential to confound biomarker studies. Tenascin-C is a pro-inflammatory matrix protein expressed at low levels in most healthy tissues but elevated in, and associated with the pathogenesis of, a wide range of autoimmune diseases, fibrosis, and cancer. Analysis of circulating tenascin-C has been widely explored as a disease biomarker. Hundreds of different tenascin-C isoforms can be generated by alternative splicing, and this protein is also modified by glycosylation and citrullination. Current enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are used to measure serum tenascin-C using antibodies, recognising sites within domains that are alternatively spliced. These studies, therefore, report only levels of specific isoforms that contain these domains, and studies on the detection of total tenascin-C are lacking. As such, circulating tenascin-C levels may be underestimated and/or biologically relevant isoforms overlooked. We developed a highly specific and sensitive ELISA measuring total tenascin-C down to 0.78ng/ml, using antibodies that recognise sites in constitutively expressed domains. In cohorts of people with different inflammatory and musculoskeletal diseases, levels of splice-specific tenascin-C variants were lower than and distributed differently from total tenascin-C. Neither total nor splice-specific tenascin-C levels correlated with the presence of autoantibodies to citrullinated tenascin-C in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Elevated tenascin-C was not restricted to any one disease and levels were heterogeneous amongst patients with the same disease. These data confirm that its upregulation is not disease-specific, instead suggest that different molecular endotypes or disease stages exist in which pathology is associated with, or independent of, tenascin-C. This immunoassay provides a novel tool for the detection of total tenascin-C that is critical for further biomarker studies. Differences between the distribution of tenascin-C variants and total tenascin-C have implications for the interpretation of studies using isoform-targeted assays. These data highlight the importance of assay design for the detection of multimodular matrix molecules and reveal that there is still much to learn about the intriguingly complex biological roles of distinct matrix proteoforms.

    Abstract Placental dysfunction is the leading cause of both preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction. This study aimed to characterize endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) in preterm preeclampsia, term preeclampsia, and fetal growth restriction (defined by delivery of a small for gestational age [SGA] infant [<10% birthweight centile]) and examine its regulation in primary syncytiotrophoblast. Placental EPCR mRNA and protein were significantly increased in patients with preterm preeclampsia (<34 weeks gestation) compared to gestation-matched controls (p < .0001). In the plasma, EPCR was also significantly elevated (p = .01) in established preterm preeclampsia while its substrate, protein C (PC) was significantly reduced (p = .0083). Placentas from preterm small for gestational age (SGA) cases, had elevated EPCR mRNA expression (p < .0001) relative to controls. At 36 weeks, no significant changes in plasma EPCR were detected in samples from patients destined to develop preeclampsia or deliver an SGA infant at term. In terms of syncytiotrophoblast, hypoxia significantly increased EPCR mRNA expression (p = .008), but Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-α) decreased EPCR mRNA. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) had no significant effect on EPCR mRNA expression. When isolated syncytiotrophoblast was treated with metformin under hypoxia (1% O

    Abstract Introduction: Opioid agonist treatment (OAT) clinics play a key role in achieving elimination of hepatitis C virus (HCV) globally. Previous research has identified barriers to HCV treatment uptake in OAT clinics; however, most studies were conducted prior to the introduction of direct-acting antiviral treatments (DAA). It remains unclear whether progress has been made in responding to barriers and what challenges persist in this setting.
    Methods: Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with staff (n = 20) and clients (n = 15) in two OAT clinics in Sydney, Australia. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using constant comparative methods.
    Results: Despite progress in integrating hepatitis C care in the clinics, competing priorities, concerns about side-effects, distrust of staff, health problems and difficulties accessing testing and medication persisted as key reasons why clients had not initiated treatment. Most clients preferred to postpone treatment and focus on other priorities and some highlighted lack of medical evidence for urgent treatment. Pressure on services to achieve elimination targets within set time frames was a primary driver of repeated offers of treatment by staff and the framing of clients' preferences for postponing treatment, as a barrier.
    Discussion and conclusion: Current timelines for HCV elimination targets may have galvanised services into action but may have also created tensions at the coalface due to disparities between staff and clients' priorities. The involvement of peer workers and mechanisms to ensure continued follow up with clients about DAA treatments is required. Public health timelines for HCV elimination need to be informed by affected communities' priorities.

    Abstract Background: Global commitment to achieving hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination has enhanced efforts in improving access to direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatments for people who inject drugs (PWID). Scale-up of efforts to engage hard-to-reach groups of PWID in HCV testing and treatment is crucial to success. Automatic needle/syringe dispensing machines (ADMs) have been used internationally to distribute sterile injecting equipment. ADMs are a unique harm reduction service, affording maximum anonymity to service users. This paper explores the feasibility and acceptability of extending the HCV cascade of care to sites where ADMs are located.
    Methods: The ADM users into Treatment (ADMiT) study was undertaken in a metropolitan region in Sydney, Australia. This mixed methods study involved analysis of closed-circuit television footage, ethnographic methods (fieldwork observation and in-depth interviews) and structured surveys. Researchers and peers conducted fieldwork and data collection over 10 weeks at one ADM site, including offering access to HCV testing and treatment.
    Results: Findings from 10 weeks of fieldwork observations, 70 survey participants and 15 interviews highlighted that there is scope for engaging with this population at the time they use the ADM, and enhanced linkage to HCV testing and treatment may be warranted. Most survey participants reported prior HCV testing, 61% in the last 12 months and 38% had received HCV treatment. However, fieldwork revealed that most people observed using the ADM were not willing to engage with the researchers. Field work data and interviews suggested that extending the HCV cascade of care to ADMs may encroach on what is a private space for many PWID, utilized specifically to avoid engagement.
    Discussion: Enhanced linkage to HCV testing and treatment for people who use ADMs may be warranted. However, data suggested that extending the HCV cascade of care to ADMs may encroach on what is a private space for many PWID, utilized specifically to avoid engagement. The current study raises important public health questions about the need to ensure interventions reflect the needs of affected communities, including their right to remain anonymous.

    Abstract Using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0  fb^{-1}, recorded by the LHCb detector at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, the B_{c}^{+}→D^{0}K^{+} decay is observed with a statistical significance of 5.1 standard deviations. By normalizing to B^{+}→D[over ¯]^{0}π^{+} decays, a measurement of the branching fraction multiplied by the production rates for B_{c}^{+} relative to B^{+} mesons in the LHCb acceptance is obtained, R_{D^{0}K}=(f_{c}/f_{u})×B(B_{c}^{+}→D^{0}K^{+})=(9.3_{-2.5}^{+2.8}±0.6)×10^{-7}, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. This decay is expected to proceed predominantly through weak annihilation and penguin amplitudes, and is the first B_{c}^{+} decay of this nature to be observed.

    Abstract Herpes simplex viruses (HSVs) cause significant morbidity and mortality in humans worldwide. Herpesviruses mediate entry by a multicomponent virus-encoded machinery. Herpesviruses enter cells by endosomal low-pH and pH-neutral mechanisms in a cell-specific manner. HSV mediates cell entry via the envelope glycoproteins gB and gD and the heterodimer gH/gL regardless of pH or endocytosis requirements. Specifics concerning HSV envelope proteins that function selectively in a given entry pathway have been elusive. Here, we demonstrate that gC regulates cell entry and infection by a low-pH pathway. Conformational changes in the core herpesviral fusogen gB are critical for membrane fusion. The presence of gC conferred a higher pH threshold for acid-induced antigenic changes in gB. Thus, gC may selectively facilitate low-pH entry by regulating conformational changes in the fusion protein gB. We propose that gC modulates the HSV fusion machinery during entry into pathophysiologically relevant cells, such as human epidermal keratinocytes.

    Abstract Limited data are available on the use of CD4+ T-cell count and percentage to predict response to direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment outside the hepatitis C virus (HCV)-HIV coinfected population. We sought to determine the impact of CD4+ T-cell count and percentage on response to DAAs in cancer patients with HCV monoinfection. Patients treated with DAAs were enrolled in a prospective observational study. CD4+ T-cell count and percentage was measured at baseline, end of treatment (EOT), and 12 weeks after the EOT (SVR12). A total of 174 patients were enrolled. Most patients (155/174, 89%) achieved an SVR12. A multivariate logistic regression model found that patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, HCV-3 and previous DAA treatment were more likely to develop treatment failure. Neither univariate analysis nor multivariate logistic regression analysis did show any association between CD4+ T-cell count or percentage and SVR12. CD4 T-cell count or percentage does not appear to impact SVR rates in cancer patients with HCV monoinfection receiving DAAs.

    Abstract In this study, we investigated the quality of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data to measure surface displacements in upstate New York, an area with dense vegetation, snowy winters, and strong seasonal signals. We used data from the German Space Agency’s TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X satellites (X-band, 3.1 cm radar wavelength) as well as the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-1 satellite (C-band, 5.6 cm radar wavelength); both datasets covered a ~3-year time period from 2018 to 2021. Using persistent scatterer interferometry (PSI), we were able to observe several deforming features in the region with sub-centimeter/year deformation rates. We also examined a version of the X-band data that we spatially averaged to the same pixel size as the Sentinel-1 imagery in order to separate out the effects of wavelength and pixel size on PSI accuracy and coverage. Overall, the largest number of stable PS points was found in the full-resolution X-band data, which was followed by the C-band data and then by the downsampled X-band data. Our analysis also included a subset of snow-free imagery so that we could assess the effect that snow-covered images had on the distribution and accuracy of PS points and the resulting time series. This analysis revealed that PS populations increased by 50–60% for the snow-free data when compared with analyses using the full datasets. The average deformation rates inferred from the time series generated using only snow-free images were nearly identical to those estimated from the full time series. We assessed the accuracy of the inferred rates through comparisons between the results of different datasets and with limited ground survey data. We found that all of the inferred deformation rates from each of the datasets agreed with in situ measurements in an area of known ground subsidence above an underground salt mine in Lansing, NY. The S1 datasets, however, had higher levels of noise.
