    Abstract We previously demonstrated that anti-third-party CTLs (stimulated under IL-2 deprivation against cells with an MHC class I [MHC-I] background different from that of the host and the donor) are depleted of graft-versus-host reactivity and can eradicate B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells in vitro or in an HU/SCID mouse model. We demonstrated in the current study that human allogeneic or autologous anti-third-party CTLs can also efficiently eradicate primary non-Hodgkin B cell lymphoma by inducing slow apoptosis of the pathological cells. Using MHC-I mutant cell line as target cells, which are unrecognizable by the CTL TCR, we demonstrated directly that this killing is TCR independent. Strikingly, this unique TCR-independent killing is induced through lymphoma MHC-I engagement. We further showed that this killing mechanism begins with durable conjugate formation between the CTLs and the tumor cells, through rapid binding of tumor ICAM-1 to the CTL LFA-1 molecule. This conjugation is followed by a slower second step of MHC-I-dependent apoptosis, requiring the binding of the MHC-I α2/3 C region on tumor cells to the CTL CD8 molecule for killing to ensue. By comparing CTL-mediated killing of Daudi lymphoma cells (lacking surface MHC-I expression) to Daudi cells with reconstituted surface MHC-I, we demonstrated directly for the first time to our knowledge, in vitro and in vivo, a novel role for MHC-I in the induction of lymphoma cell apoptosis by CTLs. Additionally, by using different knockout and transgenic strains, we further showed that mouse anti-third-party CTLs also kill lymphoma cells using similar unique TCR-independence mechanism as human CTLs, while sparing normal naive B cells.

    Abstract Background: Facial lines resulting from hyperactivity can be misleading manifestations of negative emotions, fatigue and stress. They may also contribute to a perception of facial aging. A well established treatment is botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A). Recently, botulinum toxin type B (BTX-B) has become available for the treatment of cervical dystonia. There has been little comparison on the efficacy of the two different types of botulinum toxins, nor is there information on appropriate dosing of BTX-B for facial muscles.
    Objectives: The purpose of this pilot study was to observe the effects of BTX-B in comparison to BTX-A, on patients with brow furrows assessing initial efficacy and duration of effect.
    Methods: Patients were injected with BTX-B in two different dose conversions against BTX-A to the corrugator-procerus complex. Some patients received a conversion of 50 units of BTX-B (total of 1000 units) to one unit of BTX-A while others received a conversion of 100 units of BTX-B (total of 2000 units) to one unit of BTX-A. The patients treated with BTX-A received a total of 20 units. These patients were clinically assessed prior to treatment and 3 days, 1 week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks and 16 weeks after treatment.
    Results: Both types of botulinum toxin were effective at improving glabellar frown lines. The onset of actions occurred slightly sooner (2-3 days) with BTX-B than with BTX-A (3-7 days). Duration of effect with BTX-A was at least 16 weeks. With 1000 units of BTX-B, dose duration was 6-8 weeks and with 2000 units of BTX-B, duration was 10-12 weeks.
    Summary: Both types of botulinum toxin are effective at correcting deep glabellar furrows. At least with the doses used, BTX-B has a quicker onset of action and BTX-A has longer benefit for glabellar wrinkles. These data strongly suggest that further dose ranging studies of BTX-B are necessary and indicated in controlled double blind studies in a larger patient population.

    Abstract Patterns of diurnal activity differ substantially between individuals, with early risers and late sleepers being examples of opposite chronotypes. Growing evidence suggests that the late chronotype significantly impacts the risk of developing mood disorders, obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. Despite the vast potential of utilizing chronotype information for precision medicine, those factors that shape chronotypes remain poorly understood. Here, we assessed whether the various chronotypes are associated with different gut microbiome compositions. Using metagenomic sequencing analysis, we established a distinct signature associated with chronotype based on two bacterial genera, Alistipes (elevated in "larks") and Lachnospira (elevated in "owls"). We identified three metabolic pathways associated with the early chronotype, and linked distinct dietary patterns with different chronotypes. Our work demonstrates an association between the gut microbiome and chronotype and may represent the first step towards developing dietary interventions aimed at ameliorating the deleterious health correlates of the late chronotype.
