    Abstract Background: Previously, we discovered that human solid tumours, but not normal human tissues, preferentially overexpress interleukin-13Receptor alpha2, a high binding receptor for IL-13. To develop novel anti-cancer approaches, we constructed a chimeric antigen receptor construct using a high binding and codon optimised scFv-IL-13Rα2 fragment fused with CD3ζ and co-stimulatory cytoplasmic domains of CD28 and 4-1BB.
    Methods: We developed a scFv clone, designated 14-1, by biopanning the bound scFv phages using huIL-13Rα2Fc chimeric protein and compared its binding with our previously published clone 4-1. We performed bioinformatic analyses for complementary determining regions (CDR) framework and residue analyses of the light and heavy chains. This construct was packaged with helper plasmids to produce CAR-lentivirus and transduced human Jurkat T or activated T cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to produce CAR-T cells and tested for their quality attributes in vitro and in vivo. Serum enzymes including body weight from non-tumour bearing mice were tested for assessing general toxicity of CAR-T cells.
    Results: The binding of 14-1 clone is to IL-13Rα2Fc-chimeric protein is ∼5 times higher than our previous clone 4-1. The 14-1-CAR-T cells grew exponentially in the presence of cytokines and maintained phenotype and biological attributes such as cell viability, potency, migration and T cell activation. Clone 14-1 migrated to IL-13Rα2Fc and cell free supernatants only from IL-13Rα2+ve confluent glioma tumour cells in a chemotaxis assay. scFv-IL-13Rα2-CAR-T cells specifically killed IL-13Rα2+ve but not IL-13Rα2-ve tumour cells in vitro and selectively caused significant release of IFN-γ only from IL-13Rα2+ve co-cultures. These CAR-T cells regressed IL-13Rα2+ve glioma xenografts in vivo without any general toxicity. In contrast, the IL-13Rα2 gene knocked-down U251 and U87 xenografts failed to respond to the CAR-T therapy.
    Conclusion: Taken together, we conclude that the novel scFv-IL-13Rα2 CAR-T cell therapy may offer an effective therapeutic option after designing a careful pre-clinical and clinical study.

    Abstract Gene-strand bias is a characteristic feature of bacterial genome organization wherein genes are preferentially encoded on the leading strand of replication, promoting co-orientation of replication and transcription. This co-orientation bias has evolved to protect gene essentiality, expression, and genomic stability from the harmful effects of head-on replication-transcription collisions. However, the origin, variation, and maintenance of gene-strand bias remain elusive. Here, we reveal that the frequency of inversions that alter gene orientation exhibits large variation across bacterial populations and negatively correlates with gene-strand bias. The density, distance, and distribution of inverted repeats show a similar negative relationship with gene-strand bias explaining the heterogeneity in inversions. Importantly, these observations are broadly evident across the entire bacterial kingdom uncovering inversions and inverted repeats as primary factors underlying the variation in gene-strand bias and its maintenance. The distinct catalytic subunits of replicative DNA polymerase have co-evolved with gene-strand bias, suggesting a close link between replication and the origin of gene-strand bias. Congruently, inversion frequencies and inverted repeats vary among bacteria with different DNA polymerases. In summary, we propose that the nature of replication determines the fitness cost of replication-transcription collisions, establishing a selection gradient on gene-strand bias by fine-tuning DNA sequence repeats and, thereby, gene inversions.

    Abstract This paper addresses the robustness problem of visual-inertial state estimation for underwater operations. Underwater robots operating in a challenging environment are required to know their pose at all times. All vision-based localization schemes are prone to failure due to poor visibility conditions, color loss, and lack of features. The proposed approach utilizes a model of the robot's kinematics together with proprioceptive sensors to maintain the pose estimate during visual-inertial odometry (VIO) failures. Furthermore, the trajectories from successful VIO and the ones from the model-driven odometry are integrated in a coherent set that maintains a consistent pose at all times. Health-monitoring tracks the VIO process ensuring timely switches between the two estimators. Finally, loop closure is implemented on the overall trajectory. The resulting framework is a robust estimator switching between model-based and visual-inertial odometry (SM/VIO). Experimental results from numerous deployments of the Aqua2 vehicle demonstrate the robustness of our approach over coral reefs and a shipwreck.

    Abstract Background: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is an exciting cell-based cancer immunotherapy. Unfortunately, CAR-T cell therapy is associated with serious toxicities such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity. The mechanism of these serious adverse events (SAEs) and how homing, distribution and retention of CAR-T cells contribute to toxicities is not fully understood. Enabling in vitro methods to allow meaningful, sensitive in vivo biodistribution studies is needed to better understand CAR-T cell disposition and its relationship to both effectiveness and safety of these products.

    Abstract Background: Genetically altered recombinant poxviruses hold great therapeutic promise in animal models of cancer. Poxviruses can induce effective cell-mediated immune responses against tumor-associated antigens. Preventive and therapeutic vaccination with a DNA vaccine expressing IL-13Rα2 can mediate partial regression of established tumors in vivo, indicating that host immune responses against IL-13Rα2 need further augmentation.
    Objective: The aim of the study is developing a recombinant modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) expressing IL-13RΑ2 (rMVA-IL13RΑ2) virus and study in vitro infectivity and efficacy against IL-13Rα2 positive cell lines.
    Methods: We constructed a recombinant MVA expressing IL-13Rα2 and a green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter gene. Purified virus titration by infection of target cells and immunostaining using anti-vaccinia and anti-IL-13Rα2 antibodies was used to confirm the identity and purity of the rMVA-IL13Rα2.
    Results: Western Blot analysis confirmed the presence of IL-13Rα2 protein (~52 kDa). Flow cytometric analysis of IL-13Rα2 negative T98G glioma cells when infected with rMVA-IL13Rα2 virus demonstrated cell-surface expression of IL-13Rα2, indicating the infectivity of the recombinant virus. Incubation of T98G-IL13α2 cells with varying concentrations (0.1-100 ng/ml) of interleukin-13 fused to truncated Pseudomonas exotoxin (IL13-PE) resulted in depletion of GFP+ fluorescence in T98G-IL13Rα2 cells. IL13-PE (10-1000 ng/ml) at higher concentrations also inhibited the protein synthesis in T98G-IL13Rα2 cells compared to cells infected with the control pLW44-MVA virus. IL13-PE treatment of rMVA-IL13Rα2 infected chicken embryonic fibroblast and DF-1 cell line reduced virus titer compared to untreated cells.
    Conclusion: rMVA-IL13Rα2 virus can successfully infect mammalian cells to express IL-13Rα2 in a biologically active form on the surface of infected cells. To evaluate the efficacy of rMVA-IL13Rα2, immunization studies are planned in murine tumor models.

    Abstract In this paper we present a complete framework for Underwater SLAM utilizing a single inexpensive sensor. Over the recent years, imaging technology of action cameras is producing stunning results even under the challenging conditions of the underwater domain. The GoPro 9 camera provides high definition video in synchronization with an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data stream encoded in a single mp4 file. The visual inertial SLAM framework is augmented to adjust the map after each loop closure. Data collected at an artificial wreck of the coast of South Carolina and in caverns and caves in Florida demonstrate the robustness of the proposed approach in a variety of conditions.

    Abstract Hyperion, onboard EO-1 satellite is a hyperspectral sensor that scans the earth in 242 contiguous bands with 10 nm spectral resolution. The data has numerous applications in geology, agriculture, water resources, and many other fields. However, due to the miscalibration of detectors, the Hyperion dataset suffers from a few inherent errors like bad bands, bad columns, stripes, etc. which degrade the quality of the image. Thus, detection of these errors and their correction is an essential step before any scientific interpretation. The available literature suggests manual and semi-automatic techniques for error removal, which are time-consuming, complex, and not efficient. In the present study, a statistical technique was developed to detect the errors and correct the stripping artifacts, which is simple, less time-consuming, and fully automatic, thereby reducing processing time and human errors which might be induced if manually processed.

    Abstract Caveolin-1 (CAV1), the main structural component of caveolae, is phosphorylated at tyrosine-14 (pCAV1), regulates signal transduction, mechanotransduction, and mitochondrial function, and plays contrasting roles in cancer progression. We report that CRISPR/Cas9 knockout (KO) of CAV1 increases mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, increases mitochondrial potential, and reduces ROS in MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer cells. Supporting a role for pCAV1, these effects are reversed upon expression of CAV1 phosphomimetic CAV1 Y14D but not non-phosphorylatable CAV1 Y14F. pCAV1 is a known effector of Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) signaling and ROCK1/2 signaling mediates CAV1 promotion of increased mitochondrial potential and decreased ROS production in MDA-MB-231 cells. CAV1/ROCK control of mitochondrial potential and ROS is caveolae-independent as similar results were observed in PC3 prostate cancer cells lacking caveolae. Increased mitochondrial health and reduced ROS in CAV1 KO MDA-MB-231 cells were reversed by knockdown of the autophagy protein ATG5, mitophagy regulator PINK1 or the mitochondrial fission protein Drp1 and therefore due to mitophagy. Use of the mitoKeima mitophagy probe confirmed that CAV1 signaling through ROCK inhibited basal mitophagic flux. Activation of AMPK, a major mitochondrial homeostasis protein inhibited by ROCK, is inhibited by CAV1-ROCK signaling and mediates the increased mitochondrial potential, decreased ROS, and decreased basal mitophagy flux observed in wild-type MDA-MB-231 cells. CAV1 regulation of mitochondrial health and ROS in cancer cells therefore occurs via ROCK-dependent inhibition of AMPK. This study therefore links pCAV1 signaling activity at the plasma membrane with its regulation of mitochondrial activity and cancer cell metabolism through control of mitophagy.
