Increased <sup>1</sup>H-NMR metabolomics-based health score associates with declined cognitive performance and functional independence in older adults at risk of cardiovascular disease.
Zonneveld MH, Al Kuhaili N, Mooijaart SP, Slagboom PE, Jukema JW, Noordam R, Trompet S
The 1-HMR metabolomics-based MetaboHealth score, comprised of 14 serum metabolic markers, associates with disease-specific mortality, but it is unclear whether the score also reflects cognitive changes and functional impairment. We aimed to assess the associations between the MetaboHealth score with cognitive function and functional decline in older adults at increased cardiovascular risk. A total of 5292 older adults free of dementia at baseline with mean age 75.3 years (SD = 3.4) from the Pros...

Site-specific m6A-miR-494-3p, not unmethylated miR-494-3p, compromises blood brain barrier by targeting tight junction protein 1 in intracranial atherosclerosis.
Woudenberg T, van der Bent ML, Kremer V, Waas ISE, Daemen MJAP, Boon RA, Quax PHA, Nossent AY
Background and purpose: Intracranial atherosclerosis is one of the most common causes of ischaemic stroke. However, there is a substantial knowledge gap on the development of intracranial atherosclerosis. Intracranial arteries are characterized by an upregulation of tight junctions between endothelial cells, which control endothelial permeability. We investigated the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A), a common RNA modification, on endothelial integrity, focusing on the pro-atherogenic microRNA mi...

Exploration of vanoxerine analogues as antibacterial agents.
Kingdon ADH, Adcock HV, Kasimati EM, Craven P, van Schaik W, Cox LR, Besra GS
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a bacterial pathogen, responsible for approximately 1.3 million deaths in 2022 through tuberculosis infections. The complex treatment regimen required to treat tuberculosis and growing rates of drug resistance, necessitates the development of new anti-mycobacterial agents. One approach is to repurpose drugs from other clinical applications. Vanoxerine (GBR 12909) was previously shown to have anti-mycobacterial activity, through dissipating the membrane electric pote...

Huang C, Yang J, Chen S, Han SI, Zhang H, Samuel J, Van Schaik E, de Figueiredo P, Han A
Trans-kingdom interactions between cells play pivotal roles in shaping intricate ecological and biological networks. However, our grasp of these interactions remains incomplete. Specifically, the vast phylogenetic spectrum of microorganisms capable of interacting with a given host cell type remains obscure, primarily due to the absence of efficient, high-throughput, single-cell resolution systems that can rapidly decipher these interactions. Here, we introduce μREACT (Microfluidic system for Rap...

Molecular mechanisms of <i>Coxiella burnetii</i> formalin-fixed cellular vaccine reactogenicity.
Fratzke AP, Szule JA, Butler SM, Schaik EJv, Samuel JE
Local and systemic reactogenic responses to Q-VAX have prevented licensing of this vaccine outside of Australia. These reactogenic responses occur in previously sensitized individuals and have not been well defined at the cellular level, in part because many studies have been done in guinea pigs that have limited molecular tools. We previously characterized a mouse model of reactogenicity where local reaction sites showed an influx of CD8+ and IFNγ-expressing IL17a+ CD4+ T cells consistent with...

Bakhtiar H, Sharifi MN, Helzer KT, Shi Y, Bootsma ML, Shang TA, Chrostek MR, Berg TJ, Carson Callahan S, Carreno V, Blitzer GC, West MT, O'Regan RM, Wisinski KB, Sjöström M, Zhao SG
In preclinical studies, p53 loss of function impacts chemotherapy response, but this has not been consistently validated clinically. We trained a TP53-loss phenocopy gene expression signature from pan-cancer clinical samples in the TCGA. In vitro, the TP53-loss phenocopy signature predicted chemotherapy response across cancer types. In a clinical dataset of 3003 breast cancer samples treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the TP53-loss phenocopy samples were 56% more likely to have a pathologic...
