Objectives: 1) To evaluate la proportion of hepatitic C virus (HCV)-monoinfected patients who show sustained virologic response (SVR) to treatment including direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) in the clinical practice in clinical units that treat infectious diseases and 2) to determine the frequency of adverse events, including those that are severe and/or cause treatment interruption, in DAA-based therapy in this setting.
Design: Multicentric, prospective post-authorised cohort study. Setting: Hospitals of the Hepatitis Study Group (GEHEP) of the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology (SEIMC).
Study population: HCV-monoinfected patients that initiate DAA-based treatment outside clinical trials.
Variables: The primary efficacy outcome variable is the proportion of patients who reach undetectable HCV-RNA 12 weeks after the scheduled end of therapy (SVR12). The primary safety outcome variable is the percentage of subjects who discontinue therapy due to adverse events.
Statistical analysis: A descriptive study will be performed, as well as a double sensibility analysis of the frequency of SVR12 using both an intention-to-treat and an on-treatment approach. Those variables that are associated with SVR12 with a p-value <0.2 will be included in a logistic regression analysis in which SVR12 will be the dependent variable.

Telaprevir in Patients With Genotype 3 HCV: Pilot Clinical Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Predictability of Therapy in Patients Who Have Failed to Respond to Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin

Patients with genotype 3 hepatitis C who have advanced liver disease (cirrhosis) have a very high chance of developing fatal complications of their disease unless they receive effective treatment. Unfortunately the best drugs that are currently available to treat genotype 3 hepatitis C (pegylated interferon and ribavirin) only work in about 50% of patients with advanced liver disease and therefore a large number of patients who have failed treatment are waiting for new, better drugs. Currently there are no treatments available for these patients. Telaprevir is a new drug that is licensed to treat genotype 1 hepatitis C and which works very well in these patients. In patients with genotype 3 hepatitis C small scale trials and laboratory studies show that some patients do respond quite well and others respond a little bit when given telaprevir. In patients who have exhausted all other treatment options the investigators speculate that telaprevir treatment may help some patients by clearing their infection. The purpose of this study is to see if telaprevir can help these patients and to determine if the investigators can predict in advance which people can be helped.

Pyrrolidine SS13 induces oxidative stress and autophagy-mediated cell death in colorectal cancer cells

Article

Author: Keselakova, Alexandra ; Majirska, Monika ; Pilatova, Martina Bago ; Martinkova, Miroslava ; Kello, Martin ; Mirossay, Andrej ; Nosalova, Natalia ; Fabianova, Dominika

INTRODUCTION:

Pyrrolidines, nitrogenous organic compounds, are among the most intensively studied agents because of their antibacterial, antiviral, neurological, and promising antitumor effects. Moreover, many medicinal drugs contain pyrrolidine moiety such as sunitinib (anticancer drug), telaprevir and ombitasvir (antiviral drugs) or ramipril (antihypertensive drug).

RATIONALE OF THE STUDY:

Based on the pro-apoptotic effect of pyrrolidine SS13, this study focuses on the pro-oxidative properties of the tested pyrrolidine SS13 on colorectal cancer cells to deepen the understanding of its mechanisms of action.

RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS:

We hypothesize that SS13 induces oxidative stress and autophagy activation in HCT116 and Caco-2 cell lines, thus contributing to antiproliferative effects.

METHODS:

Flow cytometry, western blot, fluorescence microscopy and qRT-PCR were used to evaluate the effect of pyrrolidine SS13.

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS:

Pyrrolidine SS13 induced oxidative stress through the accumulation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in both cell lines and the modulation of both superoxide dismutase isoenzymes (SOD1, SOD2). Oxidative stress was also associated with the activation of DNA damage response system and modulation of stress/survival pathways. We demonstrated for the first time that pyrrolidine SS13 is involved in the induction of autophagy accompanied by increased levels of autophagic markers (p-AMPK, p-ULK, LC3I/II and ATG7) and a significant decrease in p62 protein levels in both cell lines. Finally, chloroquine, an inhibitor of autophagy, enhanced cell survival and suppressed the cytotoxic effect of SS13 in HCT116 and Caco-2 cells, indicating that SS13 contributes to autophagy-mediated cell death. Taken together, our results suggest that oxidative stress and autophagy participate in the antiproliferative effect of pyrrolidine SS13 on colorectal cancer cells. Further research using primary cell cultures obtained from different animal tissues as well as performing in vivo experiments is needed to understand these processes in detail and to investigate the potential therapeutic application of new pyrrolidine derivatives.

Targeting inhibition of T3JAM reduces brain cell ferroptosis in rat following ischemia/reperfusion via a mechanism involving prevention of TLR4-mediated iron overload

Article

Author: Luo, Xiu-Ju ; Liu, Hong-Rui ; Peng, Dan ; Wu, Lin ; Zhang, Yi-Yue ; Li, Qing ; Tang, Ting-Ting

Iron overload-dependent ferroptosis is believed to contribute to the brain injury of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), whereas toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) can exert pro-ferroptosis effect via inhibiting the glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) level, but the mechanisms behind these phenomenon are not fully elucidated. Tumor necrosis factor receptor correlated factor 3-interaction Jun amino-terminal kinase [JNK]-activating modulator (T3JAM) can activate specific molecule and its downstream signaling pathways, including TLR4. This study aims to explore whether targeting T3JAM can reduce I/R-induced ferroptosis in brain via downregulating TLR4. A Sprague Dawley (SD) rat model of cerebral I/R injury was established by 2 h-ischemia plus 24 h-reperfusion, which displayed brain injury (increases in neurological deficit score and infarct volume) and upregulation of T3JAM and TLR4, concomitant with the increased ferroptosis, reflected by increases in the levels of transferrin receptor protein 1 (TfR1), total iron, Fe²⁺ and lipid peroxidation (LPO) while decreases in the levels of ferroportin (FPN) and GPX4. Consistently, similar results were achieved in the cultured HT22 cells subjected to 8h-oxygen-glucose deprivation plus 12 h-reoxygenation (OGD/R), and knockdown of T3JAM reversed these phenomena. Moreover, Telaprevir, an anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) drug, could also provide beneficial effect on alleviating ischemic brain injury via inhibition of T3JAM. Based on these observations, we conclud that inhibition of T3JAM can reduce I/R-induced brain cell ferroptosis through downregulating TLR4 and that T3JAM could be a potential target for identifying novel or existing drugs (such as Telaprevir) to treat cerebral I/R injury.

Discovery of A-967079 as an Enterovirus D68 Antiviral by Targeting the Viral 2C Protein

Article

Author: Pollard, Brian ; Wang, Jun ; Li, Kan ; Tan, Haozhou

Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) has had several outbreaks worldwide, yet no FDA-approved antiviral is available for treating this viral infection. EV-D68 infection typically leads to respiratory illnesses and, in severe cases, can cause neurological complications and even death, particularly in children. This study identified a small molecule, A-967079, as an EV-D68 antiviral through phenotypical screening. A-967079 has shown potent and broad-spectrum antiviral activity with a high selectivity index against multiple strains of EV-D68. Pharmacological characterization of the mechanism of action involving time-of-addition, resistance selection, and differential scanning fluorimetry assays suggests that viral 2C protein is the drug target. Overall, A-967079 represents a promising candidate for further development as an EV-D68 antiviral.
