    Abstract Background: Mitochondria regulate immune and organ function. It is unknown whether higher intracellular drug levels observed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) treated with tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) compared to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) may alter mitochondrial function and energy production in immune cells in HIV
    Methods: Cellular bioenergetics were determined in PBMCs from HIV-1
    Results: PBMCs from HIV-1
    Conclusions: Compared to TDF, TAF may alter bioenergetics in immune cells from PWH in vitro and in vivo. The clinical significance in terms of the differential impact caused by TAF versus TDF on mitochondrial function and energy production in immune cells, a regulator of immune function, requires further studied in HIV, preexposure prophylaxis and hepatitis B.

    Abstract Purpose: To assess and compare outcome of surgical management of non-functioning pituitary adenohypophyseal tumours in patients under 65-years, and 65-years and older at tertiary neurosurgical referral centre.
    Methods: Data was retrospectively analysed from pituitary database. Forty-four patients aged 65 or older (Group 1) and 93 patients under 65 (Group 2) underwent endoscopic trans-sphenoidal surgery (ETSS) between January 2017 and July 2019. The surgical, endocrinological, ophthalmological and radiological outcomes were compared.
    Results: 6.8% of Group 1 patients had peri-operative surgical complications compared to 12.9% in Group 2 (p = 0.29). Improved visual fields and acuity were seen in 65.2% and 82.8% of Group 1 and Group 2 respectively (p = 0.124), although there were pre-existing ocular problems in 15.9% of Group 1. New hormone deficiencies were observed in 31.8% of Group 1 patients, and 24.7% of Group 2 (p = 0.555). Tumour regrowth/recurrence was seen in 2.3% of Group 1 (p = 0.553). The rate of repeat surgery was 6.8% in the Group 1 and 12.9% in Group 2 (p = 0.28). There was no significant relationship between extent of resection, complications or hormonal deficiency. The mean duration of follow-up was 10.5 ± 13.0 months for Group 1 patients and 13.0 ± 16.0 months for Group 2 patients (p = 0.526).
    Conclusions: ETSS for non-functioning pituitary adenohypophyseal tumours is safe and well tolerated in the patients aged 65 and older. Advanced age by itself should not be a contra-indication for ETSS. It is however highly recommended that the care of such patients to be offered at a high volume, dedicated pituitary surgical units.

    Abstract Novel therapeutic strategies are needed to attenuate increased systemic and gut inflammation that contribute to morbidity and mortality in chronic HIV infection despite potent antiretroviral therapy (ART). The goal of this study is to use preclinical models of chronic treated HIV to determine whether the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory apoA-I mimetic peptides 6F and 4F attenuate systemic and gut inflammation in chronic HIV. We used two humanized murine models of HIV infection and gut explants from 10 uninfected and 10 HIV infected persons on potent ART, to determine the in vivo and ex vivo impact of apoA-I mimetics on systemic and intestinal inflammation in HIV. When compared to HIV infected humanized mice treated with ART alone, mice on oral apoA-I mimetic peptide 6F with ART had consistently reduced plasma and gut tissue cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6) and chemokines (CX3CL1) that are products of ADAM17 sheddase activity. Oral 6F attenuated gut protein levels of ADAM17 that were increased in HIV-1 infected mice on potent ART compared to uninfected mice. Adding oxidized lipoproteins and endotoxin (LPS) ex vivo to gut explants from HIV infected persons increased levels of ADAM17 in myeloid and intestinal cells, which increased TNF-α and CX3CL1. Both 4F and 6F attenuated these changes. Our preclinical data suggest that apoA-I mimetic peptides provide a novel therapeutic strategy that can target increased protein levels of ADAM17 and its sheddase activity that contribute to intestinal and systemic inflammation in treated HIV. The large repertoire of inflammatory mediators involved in ADAM17 sheddase activity places it as a pivotal orchestrator of several inflammatory pathways associated with morbidity in chronic treated HIV that make it an attractive therapeutic target.

    Abstract To date, there is no effective oral antiviral against SARS-CoV-2 that is also anti-inflammatory. Herein, we show that the mitochondrial antioxidant mitoquinone/mitoquinol mesylate (Mito-MES), a dietary supplement, has potent antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 and its variants of concern in vitro and in vivo. Mito-MES had nanomolar in vitro antiviral potency against the Beta and Delta SARS-CoV-2 variants as well as the murine hepatitis virus (MHV-A59). Mito-MES given in SARS-CoV-2 infected K18-hACE2 mice through oral gavage reduced viral titer by nearly 4 log units relative to the vehicle group. We found in vitro that the antiviral effect of Mito-MES is attributable to its hydrophobic dTPP+ moiety and its combined effects scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), activating Nrf2 and increasing the host defense proteins TOM70 and MX1. Mito-MES was efficacious reducing increase in cleaved caspase-3 and inflammation induced by SARS-CoV2 infection both in lung epithelial cells and a transgenic mouse model of COVID-19. Mito-MES reduced production of IL-6 by SARS-CoV-2 infected epithelial cells through its antioxidant properties (Nrf2 agonist, coenzyme Q10 moiety) and the dTPP moiety. Given established safety of Mito-MES in humans, our results suggest that Mito-MES may represent a rapidly applicable therapeutic strategy that can be added in the therapeutic arsenal against COVID-19. Its potential long-term use by humans as diet supplement could help control the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, especially in the setting of rapidly emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants that may compromise vaccine efficacy.
