    Abstract Mutations in RNA binding proteins (RBPs) have been linked to the motor neuron disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Extensive auto-regulation, cross-regulation, cooperation and competition mechanisms among RBPs are in place to ensure proper expression levels of common targets, often including other RBPs and their own transcripts. Moreover, several RBPs play a crucial role in the nervous system by localizing target RNAs in specific neuronal compartments. These include the RBPs FUS, FMRP, and HuD. ALS mutations in a given RBP are predicted to produce a broad impact on such delicate equilibrium. Here we studied the effects of the severe FUS-P525L mutation on common FUS and FMRP targets. Expression profiling by digital color-coded molecular barcoding in cell bodies and neurites of human iPSC-derived motor neurons revealed altered levels of transcripts involved in the cytoskeleton, neural projection and synapses. One of the common targets is HuD, which is upregulated because of the loss of FMRP binding to its 3'UTR due to mutant FUS competition. Notably, many genes are commonly altered upon FUS mutation or HuD overexpression, suggesting that a substantial part of the effects of mutant FUS on the motor neuron transcriptome could be due to HuD gain-of-function. Among altered transcripts, we also identified other common FUS and FMRP targets, namely MAP1B, PTEN, and AP2B1, that are upregulated upon loss of FMRP binding on their 3'UTR in FUS-P525L motor neurons. This work demonstrates that the impairment of FMRP function by mutant FUS might alter the expression of several genes, including new possible biomarkers and therapeutic targets for ALS.

    Abstract Combinations of platinum-based compounds with doxorubicin in free and/or in liposomal form for improved safety are currently being evaluated in the neoadjuvant setting on patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, TNBC may likely be driven by chemotherapy-resistant cells. Additionally, established TNBC tumors may also exhibit diffusion-limited transport, resulting in heterogeneous intratumoral delivery of the administered therapeutics; this limits therapeutic efficacy in vivo. We studied TNBC cells with variable chemosensitivities, in the absence (on monolayers) and presence (in 3D multicellular spheroids) of transport barriers; we compared the combined killing effect of free doxorubicin and free cisplatin to the killing effect (1) of conventional liposomal forms of the two chemotherapeutics, and (2) of tumor-responsive lipid nanoparticles (NP), specifically engineered to result in more uniform spatiotemporal microdistributions of the agents within solid tumors. This was enabled by the NP properties of interstitial release, cell binding/internalization, and/or adhesion to the tumors' extracellular matrix. The synergistic cell kill by combinations of the agents (in all forms), compared to the killing effect of each agent alone, was validated on monolayers of cells. Especially for spheroids formed by cells exhibiting resistance to doxorubicin combination treatments with both agents in free and/or in tumor-responsive NP-forms were comparably effective; we not only observed greater inhibition of outgrowth compared to the single agent(s) but also compared to the conventional liposome forms of the combined agents. We correlated this finding to more uniform spatiotemporal microdistributions of agents by the tumor-responsive NP. Our study shows that combinations of NP with properties specifically optimized to improve the spatiotemporal uniformity of the delivery of their corresponding therapeutic cargo can improve treatment efficacy while keeping favorable safety profiles.

    Abstract Background: Epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and chromatin remodeling, are highly involved in the regulation of hepatocyte viability, proliferation, and plasticity. We have previously demonstrated that repression of H3K27 methylation in differentiated hepatic HepaRG cells by treatment with GSK-J4, an inhibitor of JMJD3 and UTX H3K27 demethylase activity, changed their phenotype, inducing differentiated hepatocytes to proliferate. In addition to the epigenetic enzymatic role in the regulation of the retro-differentiation process, emerging evidence indicate that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in controlling hepatocyte proliferation during liver regeneration. Hence, the aim of this work is to investigate the impact of H3K27 methylation on miRNAs expression profile and its role in the regulation of the differentiation status of human hepatic progenitors HepaRG cells.
    Methods: A miRNA-sequencing was carried out in differentiated HepaRG cells treated or not with GSK-J4. Target searching and Gene Ontology analysis were performed to identify the molecular processes modulated by differentially expressed miRNAs. The biological functions of selected miRNAs was further investigated by transfection of miRNAs inhibitors or mimics in differentiated HepaRG cells followed by qPCR analysis, albumin ELISA assay, CD49a FACS analysis and EdU staining.
    Results: We identified 12 miRNAs modulated by GSK-J4; among these, miR-27a-3p and miR- 423-5p influenced the expression of several proliferation genes in differentiated HepaRG cells. MiR-27a-3p overexpression increased the number of hepatic cells reentering proliferation. Interestingly, both miR-27a-3p and miR-423-5p did not affect the expression levels of genes involved in the differentiation of progenitors HepaRG cells.
    Conclusions: Modulation of H3K27me3 methylation in differentiated HepaRG cells, by GSK-J4 treatment, influenced miRNA' s expression profile pushing liver cells towards a proliferating phenotype. We demonstrated the involvement of miR-27a-3p in reinducing proliferation of differentiated hepatocytes suggesting a potential role in liver plasticity.

    Abstract In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), malignant stem cells hijack the normal bone marrow niche where they are largely protected from the current therapeutic approaches. Thus, eradicating these progenitors is the ultimate challenge in the treatment of this disease. Specifically, the development of chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) against distinct mesenchymal stromal cell subpopulations involved in the maintenance of leukemic stem cells within the malignant bone marrow microenvironment could represent a new strategy to improve CAR T-cell therapy efficacy, which is still unsuccessful in AML. As a proof of concept, we generated a novel prototype of Tandem CAR, with one specificity directed against the leukemic cell marker CD33 and the other against the mesenchymal stromal cell marker CD146, demonstrating its capability of simultaneously targeting two different cell types in a 2D co-culture system. Interestingly, we could also observe an
