    Abstract Opinion statement: Monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy is now considered a main component of cancer therapy in Australia. Although traditionally thought of as pure signalling inhibitors, a large proponent of these medications function through antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). Currently, most protocols and institutional guidelines for ADCC-mediated mAbs promote the use of corticosteroids as premedication: this is implemented to reduce infusion-related reactions (IRRs) and antiemesis prophylaxis and combat concurrently administered chemotherapy-related syndromes. Concerningly, the inhibitory effects of ADCC by corticosteroids are well documented; henceforth, it is possible the current standard of care is misaligned to the literature surrounding ADCC. Subsequently, clinicians' decisions to act in contrast to this literature may be reducing the efficacy of mAbs. The literature suggests that the redundant use of corticosteroids should be cautioned against when used in conjunction with ADCC-mediated mAbs-this is due to the consequent reduction in anti-tumour activity. Owing to the fact IRRs typically occur upon initial infusion, the authors advocate for individual clinicians and institutional protocols to considering augmenting their practice to corticosteroid premedication at the first dose only, unless clinically indicated. Additionally, product information (PI) and consumer medicine information (CMI) documents distributed by Australian and international regulatory agencies should consider disclosing the risk of concurrent steroids with these medications. Moreover, the authors suggest considering alternative medications for the management of side effects.

    Abstract Lysosome-related organelles (LROs) are a group of functionally diverse, cell type-specific compartments. LROs include melanosomes, alpha and dense granules, lytic granules, lamellar bodies and other compartments with distinct morphologies and functions allowing specialised and unique functions of their host cells. The formation, maturation and secretion of specific LROs are compromised in a number of hereditary rare multisystem disorders, including Hermansky-Pudlak syndromes, Griscelli syndrome and the Arthrogryposis, Renal dysfunction and Cholestasis syndrome. Each of these disorders impacts the function of several LROs, resulting in a variety of clinical features affecting systems such as immunity, neurophysiology and pigmentation. This has demonstrated the close relationship between LROs and led to the identification of conserved components required for LRO biogenesis and function. Here, we discuss aspects of this conserved machinery among LROs in relation to the heritable multisystem disorders they associate with, and present our current understanding of how dysfunctions in the proteins affected in the disease impact the formation, motility and ultimate secretion of LROs. Moreover, we have analysed the expression of the members of the CHEVI complex affected in Arthrogryposis, Renal dysfunction and Cholestasis syndrome, in different cell types, by collecting single cell RNA expression data from the human protein atlas. We propose a hypothesis describing how transcriptional regulation could constitute a mechanism that regulates the pleiotropic functions of proteins and their interacting partners in different LROs.

    Abstract Anti-cancer monoclonal antibodies often fail to provide therapeutic benefit in receptor-positive patients due to rapid endocytosis of antibody-bound cell surface receptors. High dose co-administration of prochlorperazine (PCZ) inhibits endocytosis and sensitises tumours to mAbs by inhibiting dynamin II but can also introduce neurological side effects. We examined the potential to use PEGylated liposomal formulations of PCZ (LPCZ) to retain the anti-cancer effects of PCZ, but limit brain uptake. Uncharged liposomes showed complete drug encapsulation and pH-dependent drug release, but cationic liposomes showed limited drug encapsulation and lacked pH-dependent drug release. Uncharged LPCZ showed comparable inhibition of EGFR internalisation to free PCZ in KJD cells. After IV administration to rats, LPCZ reduced the plasma clearance and brain uptake of PCZ compared to IV PCZ. The results suggest that LPCZ may offer some benefit over PCZ as an adjunct therapy in cancer patients receiving mAb treatment.

    Abstract If we are economically and efficiently to ward off plague we must rid ourselves of the rat. This demands coördination of effort, management, organization and funds. Rat destruction and rat-proofing are preventive measures that fortunately do not involve financial loss, while they will eliminate the dangerous rodent from the homes and environment of men.

    Abstract Conventional means of data extraction using optical fiber interrogators are not adequate for fast-paced detection of a target parameter. In this instance, the relationship between the critical meniscus heights (CMH) of several liquids to the extraction speed of a rod submerged in them, have been analyzed. A limitation of a previous interrogator used for the purpose had been light absorption by the liquid due to the used bandwidth of the readily-available light source, i.e., C-band. The newly proposed technique addresses this limitation by utilizing a broadband light source instead, with a Si-photodetector and an Arduino. In addition, the Arduino is capable of extracting data at a relatively faster rate with respect to the conventional optical interrogator. The use of a different operational wavelength (850 nm instead of 1550 nm) increased the r

    Abstract Dynamin II (dynII) plays a significant role in the internalization pathways of endocytic cells, by allowing membrane invaginations to "bud off". An important class of dynII inhibitors that are used clinically are phenothiazines, such as prochlorperazine (PCZ). PCZ is an antipsychotic drug but is also currently in clinical trials at higher concentrations as an adjuvant in cancer patients that increases the efficacy of monoclonal antibodies at high intravenous doses. It is unknown, however, whether high-dose dynII inhibitors have the potential to alter the pharmacokinetics of co-administered chemotherapeutic nanomedicines that are largely cleared via the mononuclear phagocyte system. This work therefore sought to investigate the impact of clinically relevant concentrations of phenothiazines, PCZ and thioridazine, on in vitro liposome endocytosis and in vivo liposome pharmacokinetics after PCZ infusion in rats. The uptake of fluorescently labeled PEGylated liposomes into differentiated and undifferentiated THP-1 and RAW246.7 cells, and primary human peripheral white blood cells, was investigated via flow cytometry after co-incubation with dynII inhibitors. The IV pharmacokinetics of PEGylated liposomes were also investigated in rats after a 20 min infusion with PCZ. Phenothiazines and dyngo4a reduced the uptake of PEGylated liposomes by THP-1 and RAW264.7 cells in a concentration-dependent manner in vitro. However, dynII inhibitors did not alter the mean uptake of liposomes by human peripheral white blood cells, but endocytic white cells from some donors exhibited sensitivity to phenothiazine exposure. When a clinically relevant dose of PCZ was co-administered with PEGylated liposomal doxorubicin (Caelyx/Doxil) in rats, the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of liposomes were unaltered. These data suggest that while clinically relevant doses of dynII inhibitors can inhibit the uptake of liposomes by endocytic cells in vitro, they are unlikely to significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of long-circulating, co-administered liposomes.
