    Abstract The seminal vesicle secretions of guinea pig and rabbit were analyzed for semen coagulum proteins. Using SDS-PAGE we discovered a previously not fully recognized semen coagulum protein, Svp5, in the guinea pig and a single predominant component, SVP200, in the rabbit. Potential genes of these proteins were identified in genome databases by their homology with human and murine genes. The structure of their fullength transcripts was determined using seminal vesicle cDNA and sequencing primers based on genomic sequences. Homology searching indicated that both Svp5 and SVP200 were synthesized from composite genes that were the result of merger between two genes showing homology with human SEMG2 and PI3. For a deeper understanding of the evolution of the genes, we retrieved and analyzed genome sequences from the REST gene loci, encompassing genes of semen coagulum proteins and related rapidly evolving seminal vesicle-transcribed genes, of 14 rodents and 2 lagomorphs. The analysis showed that rodents of the suborders myomorpha, hystricomorpha, and castorimorpha had unique sets of REST genes, whereas sciuromorpha seemed to be lacking such genes. It also indicated a closer relationship between myomorpha and castorimorpha than to rodents of the two other analyzed suborders. In the lagomorph species, the pika appeared to be devoid of REST genes, whereas the rabbit had a single expressed REST gene, SVP200, and two pseudogenes. The structural similarity of semen coagulum proteins in rabbit and hystricomph species suggests that they are closely related. This was also supported by other similarities at their REST gene loci, e.g. the finding of a PI3-like gene in the rabbit that also had features in common with caltrin2 of hystricomorph rodents. The homologies indicate that hystricomorpha may have separated from myomorpha and castorimorpha before the separation of hystricomorpha from lagomorpha.

    Abstract Understanding the factors and mechanisms involved in beta-cell development will guide therapeutic efforts to generate fully functional beta cells for diabetes. Neurogenin 3 (NGN3) is the key transcription factor that marks endocrine progenitors and drives beta-cell differentiation. Here we screen for binding partners of NGN3 and identify the deubiquitylating enzyme USP7 as a key regulator of NGN3 stability. Mechanistically, USP7 interacts with, deubiquitinates and stabilizes NGN3. In vivo, conditional knockout of Usp7 in the mouse embryonic pancreas causes a dramatic reduction in islet formation and hyperglycemia in adult mice, due to impaired NGN3-mediated endocrine specification during pancreatic development. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of USP7 during endocrine specification in human iPSC models of beta-cell differentiation decreases NGN3 expressing progenitor cell numbers and impairs beta cell differentiation. Thus, the USP7-NGN3 axis is an essential mechanism for driving endocrine development and beta-cell differentiation, which can be therapeutically exploited.

    Abstract High-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) is a central component in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, osteosarcoma, and some lymphomas and brain tumors. MTX is given at lethal doses and then is followed by rescue treatment with folinic acid (FA). Despite FA rescue, many patients suffer severe toxicity. The pharmacokinetics of FA rescue have not been sufficiently studied. However, optimization of FA rescue could potentially increase anti-tumor effects, whilst decreasing organ toxicity. Here, we describe our efforts to establish and optimize a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous determination of five essential components of the folate cycle, as well as MTX and its two metabolites. The method was applied to 6 individual patients receiving HDMTX, with 3 or 4 measurements for each patient. The method allows analysis of samples that were initially frozen. This notion, together with the test results in the 6 pilot patients, shows the feasibility of this method to study MTX and FA pharmacokinetics during HDMTX treatment. The method has the potential to optimize HDMTX and FA rescue treatment in individual patients.

    Abstract High-risk neuroblastoma has a poor prognosis despite intense treatment, demonstrating the need for new therapeutic strategies. Here we evaluated the effects of rigosertib (ON-01910.Na) in preclinical models of high-risk neuroblastoma. Among several hundred cancer cell lines representing 24 tumor types, neuroblastoma was the most sensitive to rigosertib. Treatment of MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma organoids resulted in organoid disintegration, decreased cell viability, and increased apoptotic cell death. Neuroblastoma response to rigosertib involved G2M cell cycle arrest and decreased phosphorylation of AKT (Ser473) and ERK1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204). Rigosertib delayed tumor growth and prolonged survival of mice carrying neuroblastoma MYCN-amplified PDX tumors (median survival: 31 days, treated; 22 days, vehicle) accompanied with increased apoptosis in treated tumors. We further identified vincristine and rigosertib as a potential promising drug combination treatment. Our results show that rigosertib might be a useful therapeutic agent for MYCN-amplified neuroblastomas, especially in combination with existing agents.
