ObjectiveMevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is a rare metabolic disease characterized by recurrent inflammatory episodes. This study was undertaken to describe the genotype, phenotype, and response to treatment in an international cohort of MKD patients.MethodsAll MKD cases were extracted from the Eurofever registry (Executive Agency for Health and Consumers project no. 2007332), an international, multicenter registry that retrospectively collects data on children and adults with autoinflammatory diseases.ResultsThe study included 114 MKD patients. The median age at onset was 0.5 years. Patients had on average 12 episodes per year. Most patients had gastrointestinal symptoms (n = 112), mucocutaneous involvement (n = 99), lymphadenopathy (n = 102), or musculoskeletal symptoms (n = 89). Neurologic symptoms included headache (n = 43), cerebellar syndrome (n = 2), and mental retardation (n = 4). AA amyloidosis was noted in 5 patients, almost twice as many as expected from findings in previous cohorts. Macrophage activation syndrome occurred in 1 patient. Patients were generally well between attacks, but 10–20% of the patients had constitutional symptoms, such as fatigue, between fever episodes. Patients with p.V377I/p.I268T compound heterozygosity had AA amyloidosis significantly more often. Patients without a p.V377I mutation more often had severe musculoskeletal involvement. Treatment with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs relieved symptoms. Steroids given during attacks, anakinra, and etanercept appeared to improve symptoms and could induce complete remission in patients with MKD.ConclusionWe describe the clinical and genetic characteristics of 114 MKD patients, which is the largest cohort studied so far. The clinical manifestations confirm earlier reports. However, the prevalence of AA amyloidosis is far higher than expected.
The latent class analysis of polychotomous data
Authors: Formann Anton K. 
Published: May 2016

AbstractThe present paper deals with the polychotomous generalization of Lazarsfeld's latent class analysis. First of alla short description of the model is given. To avoid the well‐known problem of uninterpretable latent probabilities, a logistic transformation of the original parameters is proposed. In the following, the estimation equations for the auxiliary parameters are derived according to the maximum likelihood principle. The uniqueness of the solution is proven by investigating the matrix of second order partial derivatives of the log‐likelihood function.Furthermore, statistical tests for the goodness of fit are described and the practical application and interpretation of the results are discussed. The formal presentation ends with an empirical example.
Luminescence enhancement of (Sr1–xMx)2SiO4:Eu2+ phosphors with M (Ca2+/Zn2+) partial substitution for white light‐emitting diodes

Published: May 2016

AbstractEu2+‐doped Sr2SiO4 phosphor with Ca2+/Zn2+ substitution, (Sr1–xMx)2SiO4:Eu2+ (M = Ca, Zn), was prepared using a high‐temperature solid‐state reaction method. The structure and luminescence properties of Ca2+/Zn2+ partially substituted Sr2SiO4:Eu2+ phosphors were investigated in detail. With Ca2+ or Zn2+ added to the silicate host, the crystal phase could be transformed between the α‐form and the β‐form of the Sr2SiO4 structure. Under UV excitation at 367 nm, all samples exhibit a broad band emission from 420 to 680 nm due to the 4f65d1 → 4f7 transition of Eu2+ ions. The broad emission band consists of two peaks at 482 and 547 nm, which correspond to Eu2+ ions occupying the ten‐fold oxygen‐coordinated Sr.(I) site and the nine‐fold oxygen‐coordinated Sr.(II) site, respectively. The luminescence properties, including the intensity and lifetime of Sr2SiO4:Eu2+ phosphors, improved remarkably on Ca2+/Zn2+ addition, and promote its application in white light‐emitting diodes.

Published: May 2016

AbstractOxygen plays a key role in stem cell biology as a signaling molecule and as an indicator of cell energy metabolism. Quantification of cellular oxygen kinetics, i.e. the determination of specific oxygen uptake rates (sOURs), is routinely used to understand metabolic shifts. However current methods to determine sOUR in adherent cell cultures rely on cell sampling, which impacts on cellular phenotype. We present real‐time monitoring of cell growth from phase contrast microscopy images, and of respiration using optical sensors for dissolved oxygen. Time‐course data for bulk and peri‐cellular oxygen concentrations obtained for Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and mouse embryonic stem cell (mESCs) cultures successfully demonstrated this non‐invasive and label‐free approach. Additionally, we confirmed non‐invasive detection of cellular responses to rapidly changing culture conditions by exposing the cells to mitochondrial inhibiting and uncoupling agents. For the CHO and mESCs, sOUR values between 8 and 60 amol cell−1 s−1, and 5 and 35 amol cell−1 s−1 were obtained, respectively. These values compare favorably with literature data. The capability to monitor oxygen tensions, cell growth, and sOUR, of adherent stem cell cultures, non‐invasively and in real time, will be of significant benefit for future studies in stem cell biology and stem cell‐based therapies.

AbstractThere are few studies defining CHO host cell proteins (HCPs) and the flux of these throughout a downstream purification process. Here we have applied quantitative iTRAQ proteomics to follow the HCP profile of an antibody (mAb) producing CHO‐S cell line throughout a standard downstream purification procedure consisting of a Protein A, cation and anion exchange process. We used both 6 sample iTRAQ experiment to analyze technical replicates of three samples, which were culture harvest (HCCF), Protein A flow through and Protein A eluate and an 8 sample format to analyze technical replicates of four sample types; HCCF compared to Protein A eluate and subsequent cation and anion exchange purification. In the 6 sample iTRAQ experiment, 8781 spectra were confidently matched to peptides from 819 proteins (including the mAb chains). Across both the 6 and 8 sample experiments 936 proteins were identified. In the 8 sample comparison, 4187 spectra were confidently matched to peptides from 219 proteins. We then used the iTRAQ data to enable estimation of the relative change of individual proteins across the purification steps. These data provide the basis for application of iTRAQ for process development based upon knowledge of critical HCPs.
B7H6‐derived peptides trigger TNF‐α‐dependent immunostimulatory activity of lymphocytic NK92‐MI cells
Authors: Phillips Mariana , Romeo Francesca , Bitsaktsis Constantine , Sabatino David 
Published: May 2016

AbstractThe rise of biologics that can stimulate immune responses towards the eradication of tumors has led to the evolution of cancer‐based immunotherapy. Representatively, B7H6 has been recently identified as a protein ligand on tumor cells that binds specifically to the NKp30 receptor and triggers NK cell‐derived cytokine production, which ultimately leads to tumor cell lysis and death. In an effort to develop effective immunotherapy approaches, the rational design of a novel class of immunostimulatory peptides (IPs) derived from the binding interface of B7H6:NKp30 is described in this study. The IPs comprised the B7H6 active site sequence for NKp30 binding and immunostimulatory activity. An aminohexanoic acid linker was also introduced at the N‐terminus of the peptides for FITC‐labeling by Fmoc‐solid phase peptide synthesis. The peptides were characterized by LCMS to confirm identities and purities >95%. The secondary structures of the peptides were examined by CD spectroscopy in H2O, PBS and a H2O:TFE mixture which demonstrated versatile peptide structures which transitioned from random coil (H2O) to α‐helical (PBS) and turn‐type (H2O:TFE) conformations. Their biological properties were then evaluated by flow cytometry, enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), and cell death assays. The occupancy of the synthetic peptides to a human NK cell line demonstrated comparable binding relative to the natural NKp30 ligand, B7H6, and the human anti‐NKp30 monoclonal antibody (mAb), in a concentration dependent manner. A competitive binding assay between the human anti‐NKp30 mAb or B7H6, and the synthetic peptides, demonstrated partial displacement of the ligands upon anti‐NKp30 mAb treatment, suggesting NKp30 receptor specificities by the synthetic peptides. Moreover, the immunostimulatory activity of B7H6 was demonstrated by the secretion of the pro‐inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor‐alfa (TNF‐α) and interferon gamma (IFN‐γ) by the human NK cell line. The immunostimulatory effects of IPs on the NK cells was assessed by the production of TNF‐α alone as IFN‐γ was undetectable. In a cell death assay, the IPs were found to be nontoxic, without any observable evidence of early or late stage apoptosis within the NK92‐MI cells. Taking these findings together, this novel class of synthetic peptides may prove to be a promising lead in the development of a peptide‐based immunotherapy approach, especially against B7H6 expressing tumors. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Efficient Synthesis of Topologically Linked Three‐Ring DNA Catenanes
Authors: Li Qi , Wu Guangqi , Wu Wei , Liang Xingguo 
Published: May 2016

AbstractTopologically controlled DNA catenanes are promising elements for the construction of molecular machines but present a significant effort in DNA nanotechnology. We report an efficient approach for preparing linear three‐ring catenanes (L3C) composed of single‐stranded DNA. The linking number was strictly controlled by using short complementary regions (6 nt) between each two DNA rings. High efficiency of forming three‐ring catenanes (yield as high as 63 %) was obtained by using an 80 nt oligonucleotide as the scaffold to draw close the three pre‐rings for hybridization between short complementary DNA. After assembly, three pre‐rings were closed by DNA ligation using three 12 nt oligonucleotides as splints to form interlocked three‐ring catenanes. L3C nanostructures were imaged in air by AFM: the catenane exhibited a smooth circular shape and was arranged in a line with well‐defined structure, as expected.

ObjectivesWe sought to examine whether baseline diastolic dysfunction (DD) is associated with increased mortality in patients who develop aortic insufficiency (AI) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Background: Significant post‐TAVR AI is associated with increased mortality, likely secondary to adverse hemodynamics secondary to volume overload and decreased LV compliance from chronic pressure overload. However, the effect of baseline DD on outcomes of patients with post‐TAVR AI has not been studied. Methods: A total of 195 patients undergoing TAVR were included in the study. Patients with moderate‐to‐severe mitral stenosis, prior mitral valve replacement or atrial fibrillation were excluded. DD was classified at baseline by a 2‐step approach as recommended by the American Society of Echocardiography while AI was evaluated 30 days post‐TAVR. Follow up data up to 2 years post‐TAVR was used in survival analysis. Results: Patients with severe baseline DD who developed ≥mild post‐TAVR AI had increased mortality compared to all other patients (HR = 3.89, CI: 1.76–8.6, P = 0.001), which remained significant after adjusting for post‐TAVR AI, pre‐TAVR AI, baseline mitral regurgitation, ejection fraction, pulmonary artery pressure, creatinine clearance and history of stroke. Conclusions: Even mild post‐TAVR AI may have a negative impact on outcomes of patients with underlying severe DD. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

BackgroundRenal denervation (RDN) is used to manage blood pressure (BP) in patients with resistant hypertension (rHT), but effectiveness is still a concern, and key arterial portion for successful RDN is not clear.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of proximal versus full‐length renal artery ablation in patients with resistant hypertension (rHT).MethodsForty‐seven patients with rHT were randomly assigned to receive full‐length ablation (n = 23) or proximal ablation (n = 24) of the renal arteries. All lesions were treated with radiofrequency energy via a saline‐irrigated catheter. Office BP was measured during 12 months of follow‐up and ambulatory BP at baseline and 6 months (n = 15 in each group).ResultsCompared with full‐length ablation, proximal ablation reduced the number of ablation points in both the right (6.1 ± 0.7 vs. 3.3 ± 0.6, P < 0.001) and the left renal arteries (6.2 ± 0.7 vs. 3.3 ± 0.8, P < 0.001), with significantly shorter RF delivery time (P < 0.001), but higher RF power (P = 0.011). Baseline office BPs was 179.4 ± 13.7/102.8 ± 9.4 mm Hg in the full‐length group and 181.9 ± 12.8/103.5 ± 8.9 mm Hg in the proximal group (P > 0.5). Similar office BPs was reduced by −39.4 ± 11.5/−20.9 ± 7.1 mm Hg at 6 months and −38.2 ± 10.3/−21.5 ± 5.8 mm Hg at 12 months in the full‐length group (P < 0.001), −42.0 ± 11.6/−21.4 ± 7.9 mm Hg at 6 months and −40.9 ± 10.3/−22.1 ± 5.6 mm Hg at 12 months in the proximal group (P < 0.001), and progressive BP reductions were observed over the 6 months (P < 0.001) in both groups. The drop in ambulatory 24‐hr SBP and DBP were significantly less than the drop in office BP (P < 0.001). No renovascular or other adverse complications were observed.ConclusionsThe results indicate that proximal RDN has a similar efficacy and safety profile compared with full‐length RDN, and propose the proximal artery as the key portion for RDN. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
