Image-Based Marker-Free Screening of GABA(A) Agonists, Antagonists, and Modulators

Pierre Marquet, Gerardo Turcatti, Benjamin Rappaz, Pascal Jourdain, Fabien Kuttler, Damiano Banfi

The ionotropic GABA(A) receptors represent the main target for different groups of widely used drugs having hypnotic and anxiolytic effects. So far, most approaches used to assess GABA activity involve invasive low -throughput electrophysiological techniqu ...

Preclinical spheroid models identify BMX as a therapeutic target for metastatic MYCN nonamplified neuroblastoma

Gerardo Turcatti, Fabien Kuttler

The development of targeted therapies offers new hope for patients affected by incurable cancer. However, multiple challenges persist, notably in controlling tumor cell plasticity in patients with refractory and metastatic illness. Neuroblastoma (NB) is an ...

Identification of New Vulnerabilities in Conjunctival Melanoma Using Image-Based High Content Drug Screening

Gerardo Turcatti, Fabien Kuttler

Simple Summary We determined the sensitivity of several conjunctival melanoma cell lines to kinase inhibitors as well as a few other inhibitors using an image-based high throughput drug screening assay with 542 compounds. All cell lines demonstrated sensit ...

Aurora kinase B is required for growth and expansion of medulloblastoma cells in the tissue context

Fabien Kuttler

The impact of the tissue context on tumor growth and drug response in medulloblastoma (MB) is poorly understood. To gain insights into the growth and dissemination behavior of the MB tumor cells under treatment, we combined three-dimensional cell culture s ...

Identification of broad anti-coronavirus chemical agents for repurposing against SARS-CoV-2 and variants of concern

Gerardo Turcatti, Fabien Kuttler

Endemic human coronaviruses (hCoVs) 229E and OC43 cause respiratory disease with recurrent infections, while severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2 spreads across the world with impact on health and societies. Here, we report an image-based multicy ...

Screening-based approach to discover effective platinum-based chemotherapies for cancers with poor prognosis

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gerardo Turcatti, Fabien Kuttler, Damiano Banfi, Hristo Plamenov Varbanov

Drug combinations are extensively used to treat cancer and are often selected according to complementary mechanisms. Here, we describe a cell-based high-throughput screening assay for identification of synergistic combinations between broadly applied plati ...

Repositioning approved drugs for the treatment of problematic cancers using a screening approach

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gerardo Turcatti, Fabien Kuttler, Damiano Banfi, Hristo Plamenov Varbanov

Advances in treatment strategies together with an earlier diagnosis have considerably increased the average survival of cancer patients over the last four decades. Nevertheless, despite the growing number of new antineoplastic agents introduced each year, ...

Translational screening platform to evaluate chemotherapy in combination with focal therapy for retinoblastoma

Paul Joseph Dyson, Valentin Simeonov, Fabien Kuttler, Patrik Aouad, Irina Sinenko

Retinoblastoma is the most common pediatric eye cancer. It is currently treated with a limited number of drugs, adapted from other pediatric cancer treatments. Drug toxicity and relapse of the disease warrant new therapeutic strategies for these young pati ...

The FDA-Approved Drug Nelfinavir Inhibits Lytic Cell-Free but Not Cell-Associated Nonlytic Transmission of Human Adenovirus

Gerardo Turcatti, Fabien Kuttler

Adenoviruses (AdVs) are prevalent and give rise to chronic and re-current disease. Human AdV (HAdV) species B and C, such as HAdV-C2, -C5, and-B14, cause respiratory disease and constitute a health threat for immunocom-promised individuals. HAdV-Cs are wel ...

Fluorescent fatty acid conjugates for live cell imaging of peroxisomes

Luc Reymond, Fabien Kuttler, Milena Maria Schuhmacher, Daria Korotkova, Triana Amen, Manon Sandra Bardyn

Peroxisomes are eukaryotic organelles that are essential for multiple metabolic pathways, including fatty acid oxidation, degradation of amino acids, and biosynthesis of ether lipids. Consequently, peroxisome dysfunction leads to pediatric-onset neurodegen ...

Marker-Free Automatic Quantification of Drug-Treated Cardiomyocytes with Digital Holographic Imaging

Pierre Marquet, Gerardo Turcatti, Benjamin Rappaz, Fabien Kuttler, Bokyoung Kim

We use quantitative phase digital holographic microscopy (QP-DHM) to image and quantify the beating movement of cardiomyocytes, derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), in control and drug-treated conditions. The development of an analysis algo ...

The process of Lewy body formation, rather than simply α-synuclein fibrillization, is one of the major drivers of neurodegeneration

Laura Emmeline H Weerens, Hilal Lashuel, Graham Knott, Johannes Burtscher, Marion Leleu, Fabien Kuttler, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Anne-Laure Mahul Mellier, Niran Maharjan

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by the accumulation of misfolded and aggregated α-synuclein (α-syn) into intraneuronal inclusions named Lewy bodies (LBs). Although it is widely believed that α-syn plays a central role in the pathogenesis of PD, t ...

A high-content image-based drug screen of clinical compounds against cell transmission of adenovirus

Gerardo Turcatti, Fabien Kuttler

Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are fatal to immuno-suppressed individuals, but no effective anti-HAdV therapy is available. Here, we present a novel image-based high-throughput screening (HTS) platform, which scores the full viral replication cycle from virus ...

High-content, arrayed compound screens with rhinovirus, influenza A virus and herpes simplex virus infections

Gerardo Turcatti, Fabien Kuttler

Viruses are genetically and structurally diverse, and outnumber cells by orders of magnitude. They can cause acute and chronic infections, suppress, or exacerbate immunity, or dysregulate survival and growth of cells. To identify chemical agents with pro- ...
