ABSTRACTS
A method to explore the stability of two anti-inflammatory peptides in human synovial fluid (HSF) has been developed and validated using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The two peptides are BQ123 Cyclo(-D-Trp-D-Asp-L-Pro-D-Val-L-Leu, Mw = 610.7) and R-954 (AcOrn[Oic2, (αMe)Phe5, DβNal7, Ile8]desArg9-bradykinin, Mw =?1194.4). Human synovial fluid samples were analyzed after a protein precipitation step with acetonitrile and dilution with mobile phase. DMSO was used as anti-adsorptive agent. We used an octyl silane column with formic acid (0.1%, v/v) in water as the aqueous mobile phase and acetonitrile isopropanol-formic acid (20:80, 0.1?v/v) as the organic mobile phase and 0.7?mL/min flow rate. The peptides CY-771 and pepstatin A were used as internal standards. Selective detection was performed by tandem mass spectrometry with a heated electrospray source (HESI), operated in positive ionization mode and in selected reaction monitoring acquisition (SRM). The method limit of quantification (injection volume = 10?μL) was 0.17?ng and 1.2?ng, corresponding to 28 and 102?nmol?L?1 for BQ123 and R-954 respectively in human synovial fluid. Calibration curves obtained using matrix-matched calibration standards and internal standard were linear from 20 to 1000?nmol?L?1. Precision values (%R.S.D.) were ≤?14% in the entire linear range. Accuracy measured at a low and a high concentration level ranged from 93.1% to 102%. The recoveries (at 800?nmol?L?1) were 96.4% for BQ123 and 102.0% for R-954. The method was successfully applied to follow the degradation kinetics of both peptides in human synovial fluid from arthritic patients during 72?h.

Micellar nanoformulation of lipophilized bortezomib: high drug loading, improved tolerability and targeted treatment of triple negative breast cancer

文献作者：Kaiqi Wu, Ru Cheng, Jian Zhang, Fenghua Meng,  Chao Denga and Zhiyuan Zhong     《Journal of Materials Chemistry B》 ABSTRACTS Bortezomib (BTZ) is the first proteasome inhibitor approved for the treatment of malignant tumors. The current clinical formulation, however, shows fast clearance, low tumor accumulation, and several side effects. Here, we report that micellar nanoformulation of lipophilized bortezomib achieves significantly enhanced drug loading, prolonged circulation time, improved tolerability and targeted treatment of triple negative breast cancer  in vivo . Lipophilized bortezomib, bortezomib-pinanediol (BP), was readily prepared in high yield. Interestingly, cRGD-targeted micelles based on poly(ethylene glycol)- b -poly(trimethylene carbonate- co -dithiolane trimethylene carbonate) achieved a high drug loading content of 8.05 wt% BTZ equiv. for BP, which was more than 8-fold higher than BTZ. BP-loaded cRGD-decorated micelles (B...

Mutational analysis of the extracellular disulphide bridges of the atypical chemokine receptor ACKR3/CXCR7 uncovers multiple binding and activation modes for its chemokine and endogenous non-chemokine agonists

Author：Martyna Szpakowska, Max Meyrath, Nathan Reynders,  Manuel Counson, Julien Hanson, Jan Steyaert, Andy Chevigné     《Biochemical Pharmacology》 ABSTRACTS The atypical chemokine receptor ACKR3/CXCR7 plays crucial roles in numerous physiological processes but also in viral infection and cancer. ACKR3 shows strong propensity for activation and, unlike classical chemokine receptors, can respond to chemokines from both the CXC and CC families as well as to the endogenous peptides BAM22 and adrenomedullin. Moreover, despite belonging to the G protein coupled receptor family, its function appears to be mainly dependent on β-arrestin. ACKR3 has also been shown to continuously cycle between the plasma membrane and the endosomal compartments, suggesting a possible role as a scavenging receptor. So far, the molecular basis accounting for these atypical binding and signalling properties remains elusive. Noteworthy, ACKR3 extracellular domains bear three  di...

The therapeutic effect of anti-CD52 treatment in murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis is associated with altered IL-33 and ST2 expression levels

文献作者：Mark Barbour, Rachel Wood, Shehla U.Hridi, Chelsey Wilson, Grant McKay, Trevor J.Bushell, Hui-Rong Jiang   《Journal of Neuroimmunology》 ABSTRACTS Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis  (EAE) mice were administered with murine anti-CD52  antibody  to investigate its therapeutic effect and whether the treatment modulates IL-33 and ST2 expression. EAE severity and  central nervous system  (CNS) inflammation were reduced following the treatment, which was accompanied by peripheral  T and B lymphocyte  depletion and reduced production of various  cytokines  including IL-33, while sST2 was increased. In spinal cords of EAE mice, while the number of IL-33 +  cells remained unchanged, the extracellular level of IL-33 protein was significantly reduced in anti-CD52 antibody treated mice compared with controls. Furthermore the number of ST2 +  cells in the spinal cord of treated EAE mice was  downregulated ...
