Development of cysteine cathepsin inhibitors combined with cell type-specific delivery for the treatment of B-cell lymphoma and solid tumors

Aaron Simone Petruzzella

Cysteine cathepsins proteases are enzymes that play essential physiological roles, but their activity is also associated to different aspects of cancer progression and to the development of other diseases. Therefore, cysteine cathepsins are relevant and pr ...

Site-selective template-directed synthesis of antibody Fc conjugates with concomitant ligand release

Natalia Gasilova, Jean-Manuel Segura

Template-directed methods are emerging as some of the most effective means to conjugate payloads at selective sites of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). We have previously reported a method based on an engineered Fc-III reactive peptide to conjugate a radionuc ...

Rational Design of Chemically Controlled Antibodies and Protein Therapeutics

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Li Tang, Pablo Gainza Cirauqui, Sandrine Madeleine Suzanne Georgeon, Stéphane Rosset, Leo Scheller, Anthony Marchand, Sailan Shui, Lucia Bonati

Protein-based therapeutics, such as monoclonal antibodies and cytokines, are important therapies for various pathophysiological conditions such as oncology, autoimmune disorders, and viral infections. However, the wide application of such protein therapeut ...

Engineering Innate and Adaptive Immunity for Enhanced Cancer Immunotherapy

Min Gao

Cancer immunotherapy has become an attractive strategy among different therapeutic modalities over the past few years and has showed great success in the clinic. However, there are many outstanding challenges hindering the current immunotherapies. In my Ph ...

Novel trehalose-based excipients for stabilizing nebulized anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody

Sandrine Gerber, Solène Marcelle Françoise Marie Passemard, François Rémi Pierre Noverraz

COVID-19 is caused by the infection of the lungs by SARS-CoV-2. Monoclonal antibodies, such as sotrovimab, showed great efficiency in neutralizing the virus before its internalization by lung epithelial cells. However, parenteral routes are still the prefe ...

Systematic analysis of biomolecular binding reactions using microfluidic systems

Amir Shahein

Transcription factor binding to a single binding site on DNA and its functional consequence in a promoter context are beginning to be relatively well understood. However, binding to clusters of sites has yet to be characterized in depth, and the functional ...

Investigating receptor-mediated antibody transcytosis using blood-brain barrier organoid arrays

Nathalie Brandenberg, Camilla Carla Alma Ceroni

Background The pathways that control protein transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) remain poorly characterized. Despite great advances in recapitulating the human BBB in vitro, current models are not suitable for systematic analysis of the molecul ...

Low-energy electron holography imaging of conformational variability of single-antibody molecules from electrospray ion beam deposition

Klaus Kern, Stephan Rauschenbach, Sabine Abb, Sven Alexander Szilagyi, Hannah Julia Ochner

Imaging of proteins at the single-molecule level can reveal conformational variability, which is essential for the understanding of biomolecules. To this end, a biologically relevant state of the sample must be retained during both sample preparation and i ...

Targeting the oncogenic signaling of the transcription factor STAT3 with potent and selective monobody inhibitors

Grégory La Sala

Many targeted cancer therapies fail to improve the overall survival of patients. Limitations involve low drug selectivity and the rapid development of resistance. Moreover, the majority of oncogenic drivers presently remain considered as undruggable as th ...

How specific are the conformation-specific α-synuclein antibodies? Characterization and validation of 16 α-synuclein conformation-specific antibodies using well-characterized preparations of α-synuclein monomers, fibrils and oligomers with distinct structures and morphology

Hilal Lashuel, Somanath Jagannath, Senthil Kumar Thangaraj

Increasing evidence suggests that alpha-synuclein (α-syn) oligomers are obligate intermediates in the pathway involved in α-syn fibrillization and Lewy body (LB) formation, and may also accumulate within LBs in Parkinson's disease (PD) and other synucleino ...

Overexpression of transcription factor Foxa1 and target genes remediate therapeutic protein production bottlenecks in Chinese hamster ovary cells

Nicolas Mermod, Audrey Véronique Berger

Despite extensive research conducted to increase protein production from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, cellular bottlenecks often remain, hindering high yields. In this study, a transcriptomic analysis led to the identification of 32 genes that are co ...

Novel therapeutic strategies targeting the B-cell receptor signaling and antigen presentation pathways in non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Elena Battistello

B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHLs) are a heterogeneous group of tumors deriving from the malignant transformation of B cells. The two most common B-NHL subtypes are follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which account togeth ...

Allosteric Protein Switches based on Antibody Mimetics

Helen Rebecca Ostlund Farrants

Synthetic protein switches are proteins that can be controlled by an external input, and are useful tools to probe protein function. Antibody fragments and antibody mimetics can be selected to bind, activate, or inhibit several diverse protein targets. Nev ...

Anti-angiogenic immunotherapy for lung cancer

Ece Kadioglu

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-associated deaths worldwide. Platinum-based chemotherapy is the most common therapeutic approach in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly for tumors that carry non-druggable activating mutation ...

Effect of Fc Receptor Genetic Diversity on HIV-1 Disease Pathogenesis

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

Fc receptor (FcR) genes collectively have copy number and allelic polymorphisms that have been implicated in multiple inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. This variation might also be involved in etiology of infectious diseases. The protective role of Fc- ...

Targeted antibody and cytokine cancer immunotherapies through collagen affinity

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Lambert Charles François Potin

Cancer immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) has demonstrated clinical efficacy but is frequently accompanied with severe adverse events caused by excessive and systemic immune system activation. Here, we addressed ...

Introducing tolerance to foreign and partly foreign proteins by erythrocyte binding and artificial glycosylations

Kym Lorenz Brünggel

Over the last few years, protein drugs have steadily gained importance in the clinic. Compared to small molecule drugs, protein drugs are taken up by antigen presenting cells, which degrade the proteins into peptides that are then presented on major histoc ...

Combinatorial targeting of angiogenesis with inducers of autophagy in the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme

Julie Laetitia Scotton

Malignant gliomas represent 80% of tumors developing in the central nervous system, with 50% being glioblastomas (GBM), the most aggressive form of the disease. The benefit from current therapies is very limited, the overall 5-year survival rate of patient ...
