    Abstract A new species of oribatid mites of the subgenus Neoribates (Neoribates) (Oribatida: Parakalummidae), Neoribates (Neoribates) peruensis Ermilov sp. n., is described from soil and leaf litter in forests of Peru and Ecuador. This species differs from N. (Neoribates) fulvusSellnick, 1923 by the smaller body size and the presence of prodorsal longitudinal ridge and straight anterior margin of notogaster. An identification key to the Neotropical species of Neoribates (Neoribates) is presented.

    Abstract Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most prevalent primary intraocular malignancy in adults, and patients that develop metastases (~50%) survive <1 year, highlighting the urgent need for new therapies. TCGA has recently revealed that a hypoxia gene signature is associated with poor UM patient prognosis. Here we show that expression of hypoxia-regulated collagen prolyl-4-hydroxylase genes P4HA1 and P4HA2 is significantly upregulated in UM patients with metastatic disease and correlates with poor prognosis, suggesting these enzymes might be key tumor drivers. We targeted hypoxia-induced expression of P4HA1/2 in UM with KCN1, a hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) pathway inhibitor and found potent inhibition of primary and metastatic disease and extension of animal survival, without overt side effects. At the molecular level, KCN1 antagonized hypoxia-induced expression of P4HA1 and P4HA2, which regulate collagen maturation and deposition in the extracellular matrix. The treatment decreased prolyl hydroxylation, induced proteolytic cleavage and rendered a disordered structure to collagen VI, the main collagen produced by UM, and reduced UM cell invasion. Together, these data demonstrate that extracellular collagen matrix formation can be targeted in UM by inhibiting hypoxia-induced P4HA1 and P4HA2 expression, warranting further development of this strategy in patients with uveal melanoma.

    Abstract Medulloblastoma (MB) is a malignant pediatric brain tumor for which new therapies are urgently needed. We demonstrate that treatment with EPZ-6438 (Tazemetostat), an enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) inhibitor approved for clinical trials, blocks MB cell growth in vitro and in vivo, and prolongs survival in orthotopic xenograft models. We show that the therapeutic effect is dependent on epigenetic reactivation of adhesion G-protein-coupled receptor B1 (BAI1/ADGRB1), a tumor suppressor that controls p53 stability by blocking Mdm2. Histone 3 trimethylated on lysine 27 (H3K27me3), a marker of silent chromatin conformation is present at the ADGRB1 promoter, and inhibition of EZH2, the catalytic component of the Polycomb Repressive complex 2 (PRC2) that methylates H3K27, switches the gene into an active chromatin status and reactivates BAI1 expression. Mechanistically, targeting EZH2 promotes transition from H3K27me3 to H3K27ac at the promoter, recruits the C/EBPβ (CREB-binding protein) and CBP transcription factors and activates ADGRB1 gene transcription. Taken together, our results identify key molecular players that regulate ADGRB1 gene expression in MB, demonstrate that reactivation of BAI1 expression underlies EPZ-6438 antitumorigenic action, and provide preclinical proof-of-principle evidence for targeting EZH2 in patients with MB.

    Abstract The transcription factor Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF) complexes with the coactivator p300, activating the hypoxia response pathway and allowing tumors to grow. The CH1 and CAD domains of each respective protein form the interface between p300 and HIF. Small molecule compounds are in development that target and inhibit HIF/p300 complex formation, with the goal of reducing tumor growth. High resolution NMR spectroscopy is necessary to study ligand interaction with p300-CH1, and purifying high quantities of properly folded p300-CH1 is needed for pursuing structural and biophysical studies. p300-CH1 has 3 zinc fingers and 9 cysteine residues, posing challenges associated with reagent compatibility and protein oxidation. A protocol has been developed to overcome such issues by incorporating zinc during expression and streamlining the purification time, resulting in a high yield of optimally folded protein (120 mg per 4 L expression media) that is suitable for structural NMR studies. The structural integrity of the final recombinant p300-CH1 has been verified to be optimal using onedimensional

    Abstract While progress has been made in treating cancer, cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents are still the most widely used drugs and are associated with severe side-effects. Drugs that target unique molecular signalling pathways are needed for treating cancer with low or no intrinsic toxicity to normal cells. Our goal is to target hypoxic tumours and specifically the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) pathway for the development of new cancer therapies. To this end, we have previously developed benzopyran-based HIF-1 inhibitors such as arylsulfonamide KCN1. However, KCN1 and its earlier analogs have poor water solubility, which hamper their applications. Herein, we describe a series of KCN1 analogs that incorporate a morpholine moiety at various positions. We found that replacing the benzopyran group of KCN1 with a phenyl group with a morpholinomethyl moiety at the para positions had minimal effect on potency and improved the water solubility of two new compounds by more than 10-fold compared to KCN1, the lead compound.
