Introduction

Putative adhesion molecule that mediates sialic-acid dependent binding to red blood cells (PubMed:10856141, PubMed:10625619). Preferentially binds to alpha-2,3-linked sialic acid. Also binds to alpha-2,6-linked sialic acid. The sialic acid recognition site may be masked by cis interactions with sialic acids on the same cell surface (PubMed:10625619). Recognizes simultaneously epitopes having a terminal N-acetylneuraminic acid (sialic acid) and an underlying 6-O-sulfated galactose. Preferentially binds to Gal-6-sulfated sialyl-Lewis X glycan epitopes (PubMed:27357658).

Genome-wide profiling of long non-coding RNA following ozone exposure: A randomized, controlled exposure trial

Article

Author: Chen, Renjie ; Kan, Haidong ; Ji, Xiaoyan ; Niu, Yue ; Du, Xihao ; Wang, Weidong ; Fang, Ying ; Wang, Cuiping

BACKGROUNDExposure to ambient ozone has been associated with extrapulmonary health, but the underlying mechanisms remain to be understood. LncRNAs are involved in the regulation of gene expression, but their regulatory mechanisms in ozone-related health effects are scarcely explored.OBJECTIVETo investigate genome-wide lncRNA changes after short-term ozone exposure and their regulatory roles in ozone exposure and gene expression.METHODWe conducted a randomized, crossover, controlled exposure trial in 32 healthy college students in Shanghai, China. Each participant received both 200-ppb ozone exposure and filtered air exposure for 2 h in a random order with a 14-day washout period. Blood samples were collected after each exposure and used for lncRNA sequencing. Differentially expressed lncRNAs between the two exposures were identified using orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis and linear regression analysis. LncRNAs-targeted mRNAs were mapped and subjected to enrichment analyses. We also constructed lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks.RESULTSA total of 90 lncRNAs were differentially expressed after exposure to ozone, with 49 up-regulated and 41 down-regulated. Enrichment analyses suggested that these dysregulated lncRNAs were involved in a variety of biological processes, including those related to oxidative stress, inflammation response, and cell proliferation, development, and differentiation. Multiple pathways such as IL-17 signaling, NF-kB signaling, and Rho GTPases signaling were also enriched. Furthermore, the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network revealed that specific lncRNAs may regulate the expression of inflammation- and angiogenesis-related genes by interacting with miRNAs, such as NEAT1/hsa-miR-500a-3p/SIGLEC8, NEAT1/hsa-miR-6835-3p/SLC16A14, OIP5-AS1/miR-183-5p/EGR1, and SNHG25/hsa-miR-663a/FOSB axes.CONCLUSIONThis study characterized a thorough profile of human lncRNAs following short-term ozone exposure and suggested the regulatory roles of these lncRNAs in ozone-induced inflammatory responses and angiogenesis, providing novel epigenetic insights into the mechanisms of the health effects of ozone exposure.

Article

Author: Sun, Y ; Guan, H ; Wang, K ; Cui, Y ; Liu, C ; Fan, Y ; Shi, J ; Liu, W ; Ma, L

BACKGROUNDChronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a chronic sinonasal disease characterized by heterogeneous inflammation. However, the presence of systemic inflammation heterogeneity in CRSwNP patients remains unknown. This study aims to profile transcriptomic alterations in the blood of CRSwNP patients and characterize the CRSwNP heterogeneity based on blood transcriptomic biomarkers.METHODOLOGYPatients with CRSwNP were prospectively recruited from three hospitals and chronologically divided into exploratory (n=123) and independent validation (n=46) cohorts. Transcriptomic profiles were generated by whole blood mRNA sequencing and subjected to patient clustering, differential expression, and pathway analysis. Differences in immune pattern and clinicopathologic features between clusters were assessed. A transcriptomic signature was defined and applied to an independent cohort to validate the findings.RESULTSCRSwNP patients showed diverse blood transcriptomic profiles versus healthy controls, or when stratified by tissue and blood eosinophils and asthma comorbidity. Transcriptome-wide correlation analysis revealed a transcriptional signature associated with blood eosinophil levels, consisting of nine T2-related genes (CLC, SIGLEC8, ALOX15, IL5RA, PTGDR2, CCL23, CCR3, EPX and IL1RL1). Three distinct clusters with differing systemic eosinophilic and neutrophilic inflammation patterns and asthma comorbidity were identified based on transcriptomic profiling of T2 and T1/3-related blood biomarkers. A 36-gene signature was developed by machine learning and accurately predicted the three CRSwNP subtypes. Validation on an independent cohort confirmed the prediction robustness.CONCLUSIONSThere is heterogeneous systemic inflammation associated with eosinophilic and neutrophilic patterns in patients with CRSwNP. Endotyping based on blood transcriptomic biomarkers might lead to more personalized treatment strategies for CRSwNP in the future.

Article

Author: Lina, Ioan ; So, Raymond J. ; Collins, Samuel L. ; Chan‐Li, Yee ; Gelbard, Alexander ; Motz, Kevin M. ; Hillel, Alexander T.

AbstractObjectiveTo present a comprehensive flow cytometry panel for idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS).Study DesignControlled ex vivo cohort study.SettingTertiary care academic hospital in a metropolitan area.MethodsFlow cytometry and single‐cell RNA sequencing were performed on 9 paired normal and scar tissue samples from iSGS patients. Flow cytometry was used to assess the presence of myeloid (CD11b, CD14, CD15, Siglec8), lymphoid (CD3, CD4, CD8, gamma delta [γδ], FOXP3), endothelial (CD31), fibroblast (CD90, SMA), and epithelial (CD326, CK5) markers.ResultsOn flow cytometry, iSGS scar is characterized by an increased presence of myeloid, lymphoid, endothelial, and fibroblast cell types, but a decreased presence of epithelial cells. In the myeloid lineage, iSGS scar samples demonstrated increased CD11b+ monocytes (P < .001), Siglec8+ eosinophils (P = .03), and CD14+ monocytes (P = .02). In the lymphoid lineage, iSGS scar demonstrated increased CD3+ T‐cells (P < .001), CD4+ helper T‐cells (P < .001), γδ+ T‐cells (P < .001), and FOXP3+ regulatory T‐cells (P = .002). iSGS scar exhibited specific increases in CD90+ (P = .04) and SMA+ (P < .001) fibroblasts but decreased CD326+ (E‐cadherin) epithelial cells (P = .01) relative to normal samples.ConclusionWe present a comprehensive flow cytometry panel for iSGS. This flow panel may serve as a common platform among airway scientists to elucidate the cellular mechanisms underpinning iSGS and other upper airway pathologies. Scar iSGS samples demonstrate a distinct cellular profile relative to normal iSGS specimens, exhibiting increased fibroblast, endothelial, and inflammatory cell types but decreased epithelium.

Allakos Announces Publication Highlighting AK006 Mast Cell Inhibition

– Data provide insights on the signaling pathways involved with AK006 mast cell inhibition –– AK006 has a distinct mechanism of action that leads to broad inhibitory effects on mast cells – SAN CARLOS, Calif., Feb. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allakos Inc. (Nasdaq: ALLK), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapeutics that target immunomodulatory receptors present on immune effector cells involved in allergy, inflammatory and proliferative diseases, today announced the publication of new scientific results in Allergy. The preclinical research found that AK006 (agonist Siglec-6 antibody) impacts mast cell function by interacting with multiple activating receptors and key signaling molecules. The publication titled “Regulation of Mast Cells by Overlapping but Distinct Protein Interactions of Siglec-6 and Siglec-8” details efforts to identify proteins associated with Siglec-6 and Siglec-8 in mast cells and functionally characterize these protein interaction networks using ex vivo and in vivo models of mast cell activation. The data published today add to previously published preclinical data demonstrating that AK006 inhibits multiple modes of mast activation. As detailed in the Allergy publication, proteomic profiling of mast cells revealed Siglec-6 and Siglec-8 interact with a large cluster of proteins involved in IgE and non-IgE-mediated mast cell activation, including the high affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI), IL-4 and IL-33 receptors, and intracellular kinases LYN and JAK1. Importantly, Siglec-6 was found to interact with multiple critical regulatory proteins that do not interact with Siglec-8, including stem cell factor (SCF) receptor KIT/CD117, different subunits of the FcεRI receptor and proteins modulating metabolic processes. These findings suggest Siglec-6 has a broader role in regulating mast cell function and may contribute to the increased inhibitory effects observed with AK006 in vitro and in vivo. The publication is both available on the Allergy website as well as Allakos Scientific Presentations page. About AK006 AK006 is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody which activates the inhibitory receptor Siglec-6. Siglec-6 is a member of the family of cell surface receptors called Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-type lectins (Siglecs). Siglec-6 is expressed primarily on the surface of mature mast cells. Siglec-6 receptors contain intracellular immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs) which, when activated, recruit phosphatases that work to oppose activating signals driven by kinase signaling cascades. Because of this opposition to multiple activation pathways, AK006 has the potential to inhibit multiple modes of mast cell activation and has demonstrated preclinical inhibition of mast cell activation by IgE and through MRGPRX2 and KIT receptors. ITIM bearing receptors have important roles in regulating the immune system and therapeutics targeting ITIM bearing receptors, such as PD-1 and Siglec-10, have demonstrated therapeutic activity in immunology and oncology. AK006 appears to drive deep mast cell inhibition and, in addition to its inhibitory activity, can reduce mast cell numbers via antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) in the presence of activated macrophages. AK006 is currently being tested in a Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers and will begin dosing in early 2Q 2024 in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria. Results from the Phase 1 study are expected throughout 2024. About Allakos Allakos is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing therapeutics that target immunomodulatory receptors present on immune effector cells involved in allergy, inflammatory and proliferative diseases. Activating these immunomodulatory receptors allows for the direct targeting of cells involved in disease pathogenesis and, in the setting of allergy and inflammation, has the potential to result in broad inhibition of inflammatory cells. The Company’s most advanced antibody in ongoing clinical development is AK006. AK006 targets Siglec-6, an inhibitory receptor expressed on mast cells. Mast cells are widely distributed in the body and play a central role in the inflammatory response. Inappropriately activated mast cells have been identified as key drivers in a number of severe diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract, eyes, skin, lungs and other organs. In preclinical studies, AK006 appears to provide deep mast cell inhibition and, in addition to its inhibitory activity, reduce mast cell numbers.

Allakos forced to regroup after mid-stage failures for lirentelimab

Allakos will halve its workforce and pivot to focus on an early-stage pipeline candidate after the failure of its lead asset in Phase II studies. “We are disappointed,” remarked chief medical officer Craig Paterson, adding that it will halt work on the mid-stage drug lirentelimab.The Siglec-8 directed agonist monoclonal antibody, also known as AK002, was being investigated in the ATLAS and MAVERICK trials in atopic dermatitis and chronic spontaneous urticaria, respectively. ATLAS enrolled 122 adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis inadequately controlled by topical medications, while MAVERICK included 123 adults with moderate-to-severe chronic spontaneous urticaria refractory to antihistamines.Top-line results from ATLAS showed that 23% of patients treated with lirentelimab achieved the study’s primary endpoint of at least a 75% reduction from baseline in eczema area and severity index (EASI-75) at 14 weeks, which was not significantly more than 18% in the placebo arm.Meanwhile, headline data from MAVERICK showed that for the main goal, lirentelimab was associated with a 7.9 reduction in the absolute change from baseline in Urticaria Activity Control (UAS)-7 at 12 weeks, which was lower than the 8.4 improvement seen for placebo.More to come.

Find out more Related Company Profiles Allakos Inc View all In the Phase II ATLAS trial (NCT05155085) assessing lirentelimab for patients with atopic dermatitis, the primary endpoint – measuring the proportion of patients achieving a 75% reduction from baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-75) – did not achieve statistical significance, with 23% of patients treated with lirentelimab achieving EASI-75 compared to 18% of patients in the placebo group. The primary endpoint also fell short in the Phase IIb MAVERICK trial (NCT05528861) assessing patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria, with those in the lirentelimab group experiencing a change of -27% in urticaria activity score (UAS7), compared to a change of -26% in the placebo group. In response to these results, Allakos said it is initiating a workforce reduction of approximately 50% to reduce costs and ensure an extended cash runway. Additionally, the company will now also halt all lirentilimab-related activities. Allakos’ stock has plunged 59% after announcing the results on 16 January, compared to the price on the previous trading day of 12 January. Allakos will now concentrate its efforts on AK006, a humanised IgG1 monoclonal antibody candidate. An ongoing Phase I study for AK006 in healthy volunteers is set to progress, with the completion of its single and multiple ascending dose cohorts expected by Q1 2024. While lirentelimab targeted Siglec-8, which is found on mast cells and eosinophils, AK002 is an agonist of Siglec-6, which is exclusively expressed on mature mast cells. Mast cells and eosinophils are types of immune cells, and are studied to understand a drug’s activity. In the ATLAS study, blood eosinophil counts of lirentelimab-treated patients decreased by 96% compared to 15% for those on placebo. The San Carlos, California-headquartered company plans to launch a Phase I trial for intravenous AK006 in chronic spontaneous urticaria in Q2 2024, anticipating topline data by the end of the year. In the announcement accompanying the results, chief medical officer of Allakos Craig Paterson said: “We are disappointed that these trials did not meet their primary endpoint, particularly given the need for new treatment options for patients with these severe diseases. Given that neither trial met its primary endpoint, we have decided to not pursue further clinical development of lirentelimab.” Free Report How is the Biopharmaceutical industry evolving? 2021 was a year of continued innovation and change in the Biopharmaceutical industry.
