Dual angiopoietin-2 and VEGFA inhibition elicits antitumor immunity that is enhanced by PD-1 checkpoint blockade

Michele De Palma, Ece Kadioglu, Nicolo Rigamonti, Damya Laoui, Céline Wyser Rmili

Pathological angiogenesis is a hallmark of cancer and a therapeutic target. Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT2; also known as ANG2) are proangiogenic cytokines that sustain tumor angiogenesis and limit antitumor immunit ...

A subcutaneous cellular implant for passive immunization against amyloid-beta reduces brain amyloid and tau pathologies

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Aurélien Lathuilière, Vanessa Laversenne

Passive immunization against toxic misfolded proteins could offer protection against neurodegenerative disease. LathuiliSre et al. report the development of a retrievable device to encapsulate cells secreting recombinant anti-amyloid-beta antibodies. When ...

Amyloid-beta oligomerization is associated with the generation of a typical peptide fragment fingerprint

Davide Demurtas, Adrian Schmid, Cyntia De Piano, Marc Moniatte, Christophe Fuerer

Amyloid-beta (A beta) peptide oligomerization plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and A beta oligomers are collectively considered an appealing therapeutic target for the treatment of AD. However, the molecular mechanisms ...

Therapeutic Proteins Engineered for Super-Affinity to the Extracellular Matrix in Regenerative Medicine

Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez

Regenerative medicine aims to repair body tissues when natural mechanisms fail. Growth factors (GFs) are essential proteins that promote tissue regeneration upon injury, and as such, are very promising therapeutic drugs in regenerative medicine. Due to the ...

Enhanced Plasmid DNA Utilization in Transiently Transfected CHO-DG44 Cells in the Presence of Polar Solvents

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Yashas Rajendra, Divor Kiseljak, Sowmya Balasubramanian

Although the protein yields from transient gene expression (TGE) with Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells have recently improved, the amount of plasmid DNA (pDNA) needed for transfection remains relatively high. We describe a strategy to reduce the pDNA amou ...

Transcriptional and post-transcriptional limitations of high-yielding, PEI-mediated transient transfection with CHO and HEK-293E cells

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Yashas Rajendra, Divor Kiseljak

Transient gene expression (TGE) in human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells is a well-established technology for the rapid generation of recombinant proteins. Although the maximum TGE yields have reached 1 g/L or more, the amo ...

Encapsulated Cellular Implants for Recombinant Protein Delivery and Therapeutic Modulation of the Immune System

Bernard Schneider, Aurélien Lathuilière

Ex vivo gene therapy using retrievable encapsulated cellular implants is an effective strategy for the local and/or chronic delivery of therapeutic proteins. In particular, it is considered an innovative approach to modulate the activity of the immune syst ...

Structural differences of amyloid-beta fibrils revealed by antibodies from phage display

Hilal Lashuel, Patrick Droste

Background: Beside neurofibrillary tangles, amyloid plaques are the major histological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) being composed of aggregated fibrils of beta-amyloid (A beta). During the underlying fibrillogenic pathway, starting from a surplus ...

Rapid recombinant protein production from piggyBac transposon-mediated stable CHO cell pools

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Zuzana Kadlecova, Sowmya Balasubramanian

Heterogeneous populations of stably transfected cells (cell pools) can serve for the rapid production of moderate amounts of recombinant proteins. Here, we propose the use of the piggyBac (PB) transposon system to improve the productivity and long-term sta ...

Study of transposon-mediated cell pool and cell line generation in CHO cells

Sowmya Balasubramanian

The goal of this thesis was to evaluate the use of artificial transposon systems for the generation of recombinant cell pools and cell lines with Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells as the production host. Transposons are naturally occurring genetic elements ...

Bicyclic Peptides Conjugated to an Albumin-Binding Tag Diffuse Efficiently into Solid Tumors

Christian Heinis, Alessandro Angelini, Sandeep Raghunathan, Lisa Pollaro, Julia Morales Sanfrutos

Monoclonal antibodies have long in vivo half-lives and reach high concentrations in tumors but cannot access all regions in the tissue, whereas smaller ligands such as peptides distribute better but are limited by low concentrations due to fast renal clear ...
