    Abstract Introduction: Guidance on Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) treatment in those with comorbid Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is limited. We performed a secondary analysis on the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) study, examining the association between comorbid AUD and depression outcomes.
    Methods: STAR*D was a real-world effectiveness trial starting with citalopram in level 1. Non-responding participants progressed through 3 other sequential treatment levels with different switch or augmentation options. Antidepressant outcomes were compared between MDD (n = 2826) and comorbid MDD and AUD (n = 864). Logistic regressions were performed to evaluate remission and response predictors in the total STAR*D sample and the AUD-comorbidity interaction.
    Results: Chi-squared tests showed no significant difference in response or remission rates from depression between groups across treatment levels. Higher Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD) score was associated with overall lower odds of remission in treatment level 1 (OR = 0.93, p < 0.001) and 2 (OR = 0.95, p < 0.001), with no significant interaction with comorbid AUD. Higher baseline suicidality had overall lower odds of remission in level 1 (OR = 0.82, p < 0.001) and 2 (OR = 0.1, p < 0.001), but with comorbid AUD compared to no AUD, suicidality increased odds of level 1 remission (OR = 1.30, p = 0.012). In comorbid AUD in level 2, venlafaxine was associated with lower odds of remission (OR = 0.13, p = 0.013) and response (OR = 0.12, p = 0.006); bupropion with lower odds of response (OR = 0.22, p = 0.024).
    Limitations: Open label study design and lack of alcohol use data.
    Conclusions: Comorbid AUD may interact with predictors of antidepressant response in MDD and using venlafaxine or bupropion may be less effective. Addressing this comorbidity requires unique assessment and treatment approaches.

    Abstract The toxicity of mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccines depends on the total mRNA-LNP dose. We established that the maximum tolerated dose of our trivalent mRNA-LNP genital herpes vaccine was 10 μg/immunization in mice. We then evaluated one of the mRNAs, gD2 mRNA-LNP, to determine how much of the 10 μg total dose to assign to this immunogen. We immunized mice with 0.3, 1.0, 3.0, or 10 μg of gD2 mRNA-LNP and measured serum IgG ELISA, neutralizing antibodies, and antibodies to six crucial gD2 epitopes involved in virus entry and spread. Antibodies to crucial gD2 epitopes peaked at 1 μg, while ELISA and neutralizing titers continued to increase at higher doses. The epitope results suggested no immunologic benefit above 1 μg of gD2 mRNA-LNP, while ELISA and neutralizing titers indicated higher doses may be useful. We challenged the gD2 mRNA-immunized mice intravaginally with HSV-2. The 1-μg dose provided total protection, confirming the epitope studies, and supported assigning less than one-third of the trivalent vaccine maximum dose of 10 μg to gD2 mRNA-LNP. Epitope mapping as performed in mice can also be accomplished in phase 1 human trials to help select the optimum dose of each immunogen in a multivalent vaccine.

    Abstract The effects of common antidepressants on suicidal ideation (SI) is unclear. In the landmark STAR*D trial antidepressants were effective for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in early treatment phases, but less effective in later phases. The effects of antidepressants on SI across the entire sample of the STAR*D trial has never been investigated. We performed a secondary analysis of the STAR*D data with the primary outcome of change in score on the suicide item (item three) of the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD

    Abstract The goals of a genital herpes vaccine are to prevent painful genital lesions and reduce or eliminate subclinical infection that risks transmission to partners and newborns. We evaluated a trivalent glycoprotein vaccine containing herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) entry molecule glycoprotein D (gD2) and two immune evasion molecules: glycoprotein C (gC2), which binds complement C3b, and glycoprotein E (gE2), which blocks immunoglobulin G (IgG) Fc activities. The trivalent vaccine was administered as baculovirus proteins with CpG and alum, or the identical amino acids were expressed using nucleoside-modified mRNA in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). Both formulations completely prevented genital lesions in mice and guinea pigs. Differences emerged when evaluating subclinical infection. The trivalent protein vaccine prevented dorsal root ganglia infection, and day 2 and 4 vaginal cultures were negative in 23 of 30 (73%) mice compared with 63 of 64 (98%) in the mRNA group (

    Abstract Eukaryotic cells are targeted by pathogenic viruses and have developed cell defense mechanisms against viral infection. In yeast, the cellular extrachromosomal genetic element [KIL-d] alters killer activity of M double-stranded RNA killer virus and confers cell resistance against the killer virus. However, its underlying mechanism and the molecular nature of [KIL-d] are unknown. Here, we demonstrate that [KIL-d] is a proteinaceous prion-like aggregate with non-Mendelian cytoplasmic transmission. Deep sequencing analyses revealed that [KIL-d] selectively increases the rate of de novo mutation in the killer toxin gene of the viral genome, producing yeast harboring a defective mutant killer virus with a selective growth advantage over those with WT killer virus. These results suggest that a prion-like [KIL-d] element reprograms the viral replication machinery to induce mutagenesis and genomic inactivation via the long-hypothesized mechanism of "error catastrophe." The findings also support a role for prion-like protein aggregates in cellular defense and adaptation.
