    Abstract Mitochondria are essential for steroidogenesis. In steroidogenic cells, the initiation of steroidogenesis from cholesterol occurs on the matrix side of the inner mitochondrial membrane by the enzyme P450scc. This requires cholesterol import from the cytoplasm through the outer mitochondrial membrane, facilitated by the StAR protein. The subsequent steps leading to P450scc remain elusive. Here we report that the male transgenic mice that expressed a mutant form of a mitochondrial protein prohibitin-1 (PHB1

    Abstract Drugs are chemical or biological compounds, able to specific interact with one or more target proteins, hence driving a pharmacological benefit for the prevention, diagnosis or treatment of a pathology. In the past, the isolation of novel drugs has often started from the screening of bioactive compounds from nature, on the basis of trial and error approaches. More recently, however, also thanks to advances in molecular biology and in the production of recombinant proteins, it has become important to discover protein ligands by screening organic molecules in large compound collections, called “chemical libraries”. At present, it is customary for large pharmaceutical companies to try and identify specific protein ligands (called “hits”) starting from chemical libraries that may contain up to one million compounds. Similar activities are prohibitively expensive for academic groups. In many cases, high-throughput screening assays are used. Once a hit compound is identified, suitable modifications using medicinal chemistry are performed in order to generate improved molecules, which may deserve to be tested both in vitro and in vivo. If the so-called “lead compounds” exhibit the required specificity and potency, alongside other parameters which are important for clinical development, the product candidates may progress towards late-stage industrial activities. In many cases, however, screening campaigns based on high-throughput screening fail to delivery hits. For this reason, there is a considerable interest in the development of novel methodologies for the construction and screening of large chemical libraries. DNA-Encoded chemical libraries (DELs) are collections of small organic molecules, individually coupled to DNA fragments which act as amplifiable identification barcodes. DELs can be very large (i.e., containing millions to billions of compounds), as they can be synthesized using split&pool procedures, starting from a moderate number of starting building blocks. In this thesis, I describe the synthesis ...

    Abstract The present meta-analysis investigated the overall and differential efficacy of digital cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) vs. third-generation CBTs deployed to pregnant women in reducing sub-clinical depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms while fostering sleep quality and quality of life. A PRISMA-guided systematic search was used, including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the above-mentioned interventions. Data were pooled using either the mean difference (MD) or standardized MD (SMD). Sub-group analyses were carried out when appropriate. The primary outcomes were depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms, as well as sleep quality and quality of life. The interventions' acceptability was evaluated through the odds ratio (OR) of drop-out rates. Seven RCTs were included, comprising 1873 pregnant women. The results showed the interventions' efficacy in terms of reducing depression symptoms (SMD = -0.36, CI = 0.61, -0.11, k = 9) at the endpoint, although it was not maintained at follow-up during the postpartum period. The interventions' efficacy in terms of reducing anxiety symptoms (SMD = 1.96, CI = -2.72, -1.21, k = 3) at the endpoint was also significant, while having no effect on sleep quality. The interventions were well accepted (OR = 1.68; 95% CI = 0.84, 3.35; k = 7). Although no sound conclusions can be drawn concerning the joint or differential efficacy of the considered interventions, this study was useful in highlighting the need to develop evidence-based digital prevention programs for pregnant women with sub-clinical symptoms.

    Abstract Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common complication occurring in critically ill patients who are mechanically ventilated and is the leading cause of nosocomial infection-related death. Etiologic agents for VAP widely differ based on the population of intensive care unit patients, duration of hospital stay, and prior antimicrobial therapy. VAP due to multidrug-resistant pathogens is associated with the highest morbidity and mortality, likely due to delays in appropriate antimicrobial treatment. International guidelines are currently available to guide diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. VAP can be prevented through various pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, which are more effective when grouped as bundles. When VAP is clinically suspected, diagnostic strategies should include early collection of respiratory samples to guide antimicrobial therapy. Empirical treatment should be based on the most likely etiologic microorganisms and antibiotics likely to be active against these microorganisms. Response to therapy should be reassessed after 3 to 5 days and antimicrobials adjusted or de-escalated to reduce the burden of the disease. Finally, considering that drug resistance is increasing worldwide, several novel antibiotics are being tested to efficiently treat VAP in the coming decades.

    Abstract The framework of steroidogenesis across steroidogenic cells is constructed around cholesterol - the precursor substrate molecule for all steroid hormones - including its cellular uptake, storage in intracellular lipid droplets, mobilization upon steroidogenic stimulation, and finally, its transport to the mitochondria, where steroidogenesis begins. Thus, cholesterol and the mitochondria are highly interconnected in steroidogenic cells. Moreover, accruing evidence suggests that autophagy and mitochondrial dynamics are important cellular events in the regulation of trophic hormone-induced cholesterol homeostasis and steroidogenesis. However, a potential role of cholesterol in itself in the regulation of steroidogenic factors and events remain largely unexplored. We tested the hypothesis that cholesterol plays a role in the regulation of cell-intrinsic factors and events involving steroidogenesis. Here, we show that depleting the intracellular cholesterol pool in steroidogenic cells induces autophagy, affects mitochondrial dynamics, and upregulates steroidogenic factors and basal steroidogenesis in three different steroidogenic cell types producing different steroid hormones. Notably, the cholesterol insufficiency-induced changes in different steroidogenic cell types occur independent of pertinent hormone stimulation and work in a dynamic and temporal manner with or without hormonal stimulation. Such effects of cholesterol deprivation on autophagy and mitochondrial dynamics were not observed in the non-steroidogenic cells, indicating that cholesterol insufficiency-induced changes in steroidogenic cells are specific to steroidogenesis. Thus, our data suggests a role of cholesterol in steroidogenesis beyond being a mere substrate for steroid hormones. The implications of our findings are broad and offer new insights into trophic hormone-dependent and hormone-independent steroidogenesis during development, as well as in health and disease.
