Onpattro shows benefits for 1.5 years in ATTR cardiomyopathy trial | Therapy seen to slow down disability in people with ATTR-CM

Treatment with Onpattro (patisiran) for 1.5 years leads to sustained reductions in disability progression among people with ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), or damage to the heart. That’s according to interim data from the ongoing open-label extension (OLE) portion of the Phase 3 APOLLO-B clinical trial (NCT03997383). That trial’s initial…

JCI – Tumor-activated lymph node fibroblasts suppress T cell function in diffuse large B cell lymphoma

Recent transcriptomic-based analysis of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has highlighted the clinical relevance of lymph node (LN) fibroblast and tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) signatures within the tumor microenvironment (TME). However, the immunomodulatory role of fibroblasts in lymphoma remains unclear. Here, by studying human and mouse DLBCL-LNs, we identify the…

AAN 2023: Amvuttra and Onpattro show similar efficacy as FAP treatments | Comparable, sustained drops in transthyretin levels seen

Amvuttra (vutrisiran) and Onpattro (patisiran) showed similar safety and efficacy for familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) patients, according to new analyses from the Phase 3 HELIOS-A trial that supported Amvuttra’s regulatory approval. Both therapies led to similar reductions in transthyretin, the protein that accumulates in FAP, and they were associated with comparable…

Promising Target Antigens for Cell Therapy of Solid Tumors | Lab Equipment

Initially designed for hematological malignancies, CAR-T therapy is now being expanded to target solid tumors using specialized CAR-T cells that attack specific antigens. Ongoing clinical trials are being conducted to evaluate the efficacy of CAR-T cells targeting FAP, GPC3, HER2, L1CAM, CEACAM5, MSLN, IL-13RA2, EpCAM, PSMA, and EGFR. Studies have…

Coordinated local RNA overexpression of complement induced by interferon gamma in myositis

Differential expression of complement proteins in the different types of IM To define the transcriptomic profiles of patients with different types of IM, we performed bulk RNAseq on muscle biopsies from 132 IM patients, including those with DM (n = 44), AS (n = 18), IMNM (n = 54), and IBM (n = 16). The DM group included…

Transcriptional reprogramming of skeletal muscle stem cells by the niche environment

Isolation of pure populations of MuSCs and niche cells by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) Hindlimb muscles were dissected from young (4–6 weeks old) or aged (22–26 months old) C57BL/6J (Jackson Laboratory, 000664) mice and minced until no visible tissue chunks were visible. Muscle was then digested in a 15 ml Falcon…

Single-cell analyses define a continuum of cell state and composition changes in the malignant transformation of polyps to colorectal cancer

Mapping molecular changes across malignant transformation We generated single-cell data for 81 samples collected from eight FAP and seven non-FAP donors (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Tables 1 and 2). For each tissue, we performed matched scATAC-seq and snRNA-seq (10x Genomics). We obtained high-quality single-cell chromatin accessibility profiles for 447,829 cells…
