Leptin plays a central role in the homeostasis of body weight through its regulatory effects on appetite and energy expenditure, yet in trials as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of obesity in humans it has been disappointing. The poor clinical efficacy of leptin results from its short circulating half-life, low potency and poor solubility, necessitating large and frequent doses to obtain even modest clinical benefit. Engineered Fc-leptin immunofusins, consisting of the Fc fragment of an immunoglobulin gamma chain followed by leptin, exhibit improved pharmacological properties with very consistent and potent biological activities. Furthermore, in extending the circulating half-life of the protein in vivo from a few minutes for leptin to many hours for Fc-leptin, these proteins have the potential to reduce drastically the dosage and frequency of administration required to obtain clinical benefit. The results of this study show that the engineered leptin immunofusins described here have significantly enhanced pharmacological properties in comparison with the recombinant leptin that was used in clinical trials. As such, they could represent an important step towards a therapeutically superior form of leptin if the disappointing performance of leptin in early clinical trials was due to its poor pharmacological properties rather than any conceptual weakness in the strategy of using leptin for the treatment of obesity and its related disorders. 相似文献

During the past decade, stem cell transplant has emerged as a novel therapeutic alternative for several diseases. If therapies are to be implemented in clinical settings, efficient scale‐up of stem cells isolation methodologies would be crucial. A brief, process‐oriented overview of the current most widely used technologies for stem cells separation is presented. This review classifies available methods into three broad categories: (1) isopycnic centrifugation, including density gradient and cell culture; (2) immunochemical, employing immune labeling; and (3) novel, tagless procedures. These groups are further subdivided into more specific techniques, highlighting their advantages and limitations. Particular cases in each category were selected to further compare the purification parameters of recovery, cell viability, purity, process time, and throughput. A particular focus on process scale‐up feasibility and the challenges of this rapidly emerging field are stated. Lastly, likely directions are suggested for the development of new proposals which will make stem cells purification more advantageous and viable for clinical use.

A new medium, PPRF-m2, has been developed for the in vitro expansion of murine neural stem cells. Neural stem cells (NSC) are primitive cells that have the capability to give rise to all of the cells that comprise the central nervous system (CNS). PPRF-m2 was developed in part by examining key aspects of a commercial NSC medium used in our laboratory, and includes the basal media combination RPMI/DMEM/F12 in a 1:1:1 volumetric ratio supplemented with a hormone mixture, sodium bicarbonate (21.4 g/L), Hepes (4.3 g/L), glucose (1.75 g/L), glutamine (0.14 g/L), epidermal growth factor (20 μg/L) and basic fibroblast growth factor (10 μg/L). Cells inoculated into PPRF-m2 effectively doubled 4 times in 5 days to achieve a maximum viable cell density of 1.2 × 106 cells/mL in stationary culture. This was approximately 650% higher than the maximum cell density achieved in the commercial NSC medium. In addition, the PPRF-m2 cultures were observed to contain less cellular debris, and the cells were less granular and exhibited a lower degree of attachment. Immunocytochemistry revealed that cells grown in PPRF-m2 retained the ability to generate neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. 相似文献

Bispecific single-chain diabodies (scDb) consist of the variableheavy and light chain domains of two antibodies connected bythree linkers. The structure of an scDb in the VHVL orientationis VHAlinkerAVLBlinkerMVHBlinkerBVLA,with linkers A and B routinely chosen to be 56 residuesand linker M 1520 residues. Here, we applied displayof scDb on filamentous phage to analyse the composition of optimallinker sequences. The three linkers were randomized in lengthand sequence using degenerated triplets coding for only sixhydrophilic or aliphatic amino acids (Thr, Ser, Asp, Asn, Gly,Ala). Antigen-binding clones were then isolated by one to tworounds of selection on the two different antigens recognizedby the bispecific scDb. Using an scDb directed against carcinoembryonicantigen (CEA) and ß-galactosidase (Gal), we foundthat monomeric scDb had a preferred length of 15 or more aminoacid residues for the middle linker M and of 36 residuesfor the linkers A and B. No obvious bias towards a preferredlinker sequence was observed. Reduction of the middle linkerbelow 13 residues led to the formation of dimeric scDb, whichmost likely results from interchain pairing between all theVH and VL domains. Dimeric scDb were also formed by fragmentspossessing a long linker M and linkers A and B of 0 or 1 residue.We assume that these dimeric scDb are formed by intrachain pairingof the central variable domains and interchain pairing of theflanking variable domains. Thus, the latter molecules representa novel format of bispecific and tetravalent molecules. Thedescribed strategy allows for the isolation of both optimizedand minimal linker sequences for the assembly of monomeric ordimeric single-chain diabodies. 相似文献

The efficient delivery of daunorubicin loaded poly (lactic acid) (PLA)/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT)/Fe3O4 composite nanofibers was investigated. The synthesized nanofibers were characterized using SEM, TEM, and XRD analysis. The proliferation inhibition effect of PLA/MWCNT/Fe3O4 nanofibrous scaffolds on leukemia K562 cell lines was investigated. The effect of nanofiber concentration on the daunorubicin delivery in the absence and presence of external magnetic field was also evaluated. The results indicated that the incorporation of daunorubicin into the prepared nanofibrous scaffold under applied magnetic field could have synergistic cytotoxic effect on leukemia cancer cells. The drug release mechanism followed the non-Fickian transport. 相似文献

The use of alloplastic materials instead of autologous cartilage grafts offers a new perspective in craniofacial reconstructive surgery. Particularly for regenerative approaches, customized implants enable the surgeon to restore the cartilaginous framework of the ear without donor site morbidity. However, high development and production costs of commercially available implants impede clinical translation. For this reason, the usability of a low-cost 3D printer (Ultimaker 2+) as an inhouse-production tool for cheap surgical implants was investigated. The open software architecture of the 3D printer was modified in order to enable printing of biocompatible and biologically degradable polycaprolactone (PCL). Firstly, the printing accuracy and limitations of a PCL implant were compared to reference materials acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polylactic acid (PLA). Then the self-made PCL-scaffold was seeded with adipose-tissue derived stem cells (ASCs), and biocompatibility was compared to a commercially available PCL-scaffold using a cell viability staining (FDA/PI) and a dsDNA quantification assay (PicoGreen). Secondly, porous and solid patient-customized ear constructs were manufactured from mirrored CT-imagining data using a computer-assisted design (CAD) and computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM) approach to evaluate printing accuracy and reproducibility. The results show that printing of a porous PCL scaffolds was possible, with an accuracy equivalent to the reference materials at an edge length of 10 mm and a pore size of 0.67 mm. Cell viability, adhesion, and proliferation of the ASCs were equivalent on self-made and the commercially available PCL-scaffolds. Patient-customized ear constructs could be produced well in solid form and with limited accuracy in porous form from all three thermoplastic materials. Printing dimensions and quality of the modified low-cost 3D printer are sufficient for selected tissue engineering applications, and the manufacturing of personalized ear models for surgical simulation at manufacturing costs of EUR 0.04 per cell culture scaffold and EUR 0.90 (0.56) per solid (porous) ear construct made from PCL. Therefore, in-house production of PCL-based tissue engineering scaffolds and surgical implants should be further investigated to facilitate the use of new materials and 3D printing in daily clinical routine. 相似文献

With possible implications in multiple autoimmune diseases, the retinoic acid receptor‐related orphan receptor RORγ has become a sought‐after target in the pharmaceutical industry. Herein are described the efforts to identify a potent RORγ inverse agonist compatible with topical application for the treatment of skin diseases. These efforts culminated in the discovery of N‐(2,4‐dimethylphenyl)‐N‐isobutyl‐2‐oxo‐1‐[(tetrahydro‐2H‐pyran‐4‐yl)methyl]‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐benzo[d]imidazole‐5‐sulfonamide (CD12681), a potent inverse agonist with in vivo activity in an IL‐23‐induced mouse skin inflammation model. 相似文献

Graphene nanogrids for selective and fast osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells
《Carbon》2013
Graphene nanogrids (fabricated by graphene nanoribbons obtained through oxidative unzipping of multi-walled carbon nanotubes) were used as two-dimensional selective templates for accelerated differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), isolated from umbilical cord blood, into osteogenic lineage. The biocompatible and hydrophilic graphene nanogrids showed high actin cytoskeleton proliferations coinciding with patterns of the nanogrids. The amounts of proliferations were found slightly better than proliferation on hydrophilic graphene oxide (GO) sheets, and significantly higher than non-uniform proliferations on hydrophobic reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets and polydimethylsiloxane substrate. In the presence of chemical inducers, the reduced graphene oxide nanoribbon (rGONR) grid showed a highly accelerated osteogenic differentiation of the hMSCs (a patterned differentiation) in short time of 7 days in which the amount of the osteogenesis was ∼2.2 folds greater than the differentiation (a uniform differentiation) on the rGO sheets. We found that although in the absence of any chemical inducers the graphene nanogrids showed slight patterned osteogenic differentiations, the graphene sheets could not present any differentiation. Therefore, the highly accelerated differentiation on the rGONR grid was assigned to both its excellent capability in adsorption of the chemical inducers and physical stresses induced by the surface topographic features of the nanogrids. 相似文献

(S)-3-Cyclopentyl-3-hydroxypropanenitrile is the key precursor for the synthesis of ruxolitinib. The bioreduction of 3-cyclopentyl-3-ketopropanenitrile ( 1 a ) offers an attractive method to access this important compound. A carbonyl reductase (PhADH) from Paraburkholderia hospita catalyzed the reduction of 1 a giving the (S)-alcohol ( 1 b ) with 85 % ee. Rational engineering of PhADH resulted in a double mutant H93C/A139L, which enhanced the enantioselectivity from 85 % to >98 %, as well as a 6.3-fold improvement in the specific activity. The bioreduction of 1 a was performed at 200 g/L (1.5 M) substrate concentration, leading to isolation of (S)- 1 b in 91 % yield. Similarly, using this mutant enzyme, 3-cyclohexyl-3-ketopropanenitrile ( 2 a ) and 3-phenyl-3-ketopropanenitrile ( 3 a ) were reduced at high concentration affording the corresponding alcohols in >99 % ee, and 90 % and 92 % yield, respectively. The results showed that the variant H93C/A139L was a powerful biocatalyst for reduction of β-substituted-β-ketonitriles. 相似文献

Biological therapies, such as recombinant proteins, are nowadays amongst the most promising approaches towards precision medicine. One of the most innovative methodologies currently available aimed at improving the production yield of recombinant proteins with minimization of costs relies on the combination of in silico studies to predict and deepen the understanding of the modified proteins with an experimental approach. The work described herein aims at the design and production of a biomimetic vector containing the single-chain variable domain fragment (scFv) of an anti-HER2 antibody fragment as a targeting motif fused with HIV gp41. Molecular modeling and docking studies were performed to develop the recombinant protein sequence. Subsequently, the DNA plasmid was produced and HEK-293T cells were transfected to evaluate the designed vector. The obtained results demonstrated that the plasmid construction is robust and can be expressed in the selected cell line. The multidisciplinary integrated in silico and experimental strategy adopted for the construction of a recombinant protein which can be used in HER2+-targeted therapy paves the way towards the production of other therapeutic proteins in a more cost-effective way. 相似文献
