An apparatus includes a port to draw a biological fluid (e.g., a mist) from a surgical site. The o apparatus includes a sensor having a cantilevered beam. The beam includes substances selected to attract certain biomarkers as the fluid is communicated across the beam. The same apparatus or another apparatus is used to administer a therapeutic agent based at least in part on collected biomarker data. The therapeutic agent delivery apparatus may include a device that is also used to create a wound at a surgical site. For instance, a harmonic surgical instrument may be used to both collect biomarkers and administer a therapeutic agent (e.g., gene therapy using sonoporation). w o 2011/084768 Al III III II II III I I1 1 lll l II llll 11III II I II Published: as to applicant's entitlement to apply for and be granted a patent (Rule 4.1 7( )) — with international search report (Art. 21(3)) as to the applicant's entitlement to claim the priority of — before the expiration of the time limit for amending the the earlier application (Rule 4.17(Hi)) claims and to be republished in the event of receipt of amendments (Rule 48.2(h)) SURGICAL DEVICE USING BIOMARKERS Jeffrey W.

Aronhalt PRIORITY [0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61/288,375, entitled "Method of Developing Surgical Devices Using Biomarkers," filed December 21, 2009, and to U.S. Nonprovisional Patent Application Serial No. 12/971,249, entitled "Use of Biomarkers and Therapeutic Agents with Surgical Devices," filed December 17, 2010, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein. BACKGROUND [0002] Tissue trauma resulting in a wound may be an unavoidable consequence of accidental or intentional injury (e.g., from surgery, etc.). The process of wound healing is thought by some to take place in four stages. The first stage is hemostasis which may begin immediately after the cutting occurs. In hemostasis, clotting may occur by natural means of platelet degranulation. Hemostasis may also be induced by artificial means to affect protein denaturation. The second stage is inflammation. In this stage, the immune system may provide a response to the threat of possible infection via signaling to defensive immune cells such as neutrophils and macrophages. The third stage is the proliferation stage. In this stage, fibroblasts may enter the wound area and produce large amounts of collagen that result in scar formation. A prolonged hemostatic or inflammatory stage may result in additional scar formation that delays both this third stage and the final stage of wound healing. The final stage of wound healing is remodeling. This may occur once a scar has formed and the breaking strength of the wound begins to increase. In this stage, the temporary collagen may be replaced by permanent tissue and the scar slowly fades. The duration of this final stage may depend upon how much scar tissue was formed in the previous stage. [0003] While a variety of methods for monitoring the progress of wound healing have been made and used, it is believed that no one prior to the inventor(s) has made or used the technology as described herein.

    Supplemental information to Mammadova-Bach et al., “Laminin α1 orchestrates VEGFA functions in the ecosystem of colorectal carcinogenesis” Supplemental material and methods Cloning of the villin-LMα1 vector The plasmid pBS-villin-promoter containing the 3.5 Kb of the murine villin promoter, the first non coding exon, 5.5 kb of the first intron and 15 nucleotides of the second villin exon, was generated by S. Robine (Institut Curie, Paris, France). The EcoRI site in the multi cloning site was destroyed by fill in ligation with T4 polymerase according to the manufacturer`s instructions (New England Biolabs, Ozyme, Saint Quentin en Yvelines, France). Site directed mutagenesis (GeneEditor in vitro Site-Directed Mutagenesis system, Promega, Charbonnières-les-Bains, France) was then used to introduce a BsiWI site before the start codon of the villin coding sequence using the 5’ phosphorylated primer: 5’CCTTCTCCTCTAGGCTCGCGTACGATGACGTCGGACTTGCGG3’. A double strand annealed oligonucleotide, 5’GGCCGGACGCGTGAATTCGTCGACGC3’ and 5’GGCCGCGTCGACGAATTCACGC GTCC3’ containing restriction site for MluI, EcoRI and SalI were inserted in the NotI site (present in the multi cloning site), generating the plasmid pBS-villin-promoter-MES. The SV40 polyA region of the pEGFP plasmid (Clontech, Ozyme, Saint Quentin Yvelines, France) was amplified by PCR using primers 5’GGCGCCTCTAGATCATAATCAGCCATA3’ and 5’GGCGCCCTTAAGATACATTGATGAGTT3’ before subcloning into the pGEMTeasy vector (Promega, Charbonnières-les-Bains, France). After EcoRI digestion, the SV40 polyA fragment was purified with the NucleoSpin Extract II kit (Machery-Nagel, Hoerdt, France) and then subcloned into the EcoRI site of the plasmid pBS-villin-promoter-MES. Site directed mutagenesis was used to introduce a BsiWI site (5’ phosphorylated AGCGCAGGGAGCGGCGGCCGTACGATGCGCGGCAGCGGCACG3’) before the initiation codon and a MluI site (5’ phosphorylated 1 CCCGGGCCTGAGCCCTAAACGCGTGCCAGCCTCTGCCCTTGG3’) after the stop codon in the full length cDNA coding for the mouse LMα1 in the pCIS vector (kindly provided by P.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

We previously reported the α1D-adrenergic receptor (ADRA1D)—a key regulator of cardiovascular, urinary and CNS function—binds the syntrophin family of PDZ domain proteins (SNTA, SNTB1, and SNTB2) through a C-terminal PDZ ligand inter- action, ensuring receptor plasma membrane localization and G-protein coupling. To assess the uniqueness of this novel GPCR complex, 23 human GPCRs containing Type I PDZ ligands were subjected to TAP/MS proteomic analysis. Syntrophins did not interact with any other GPCRs. Unexpectedly, a second PDZ domain protein, scribble (SCRIB), was detected in ADRA1D complexes. Biochemical, proteomic, and dynamic mass redistribution analyses indicate syntrophins and SCRIB compete for the PDZ ligand, simultaneously exist within an ADRA1D multimer, and impart divergent pharmacological properties to the complex. Our results reveal an unprecedented modular dimeric architecture for the ADRA1D in the cell membrane, providing unexpected opportunities for fine-tuning receptor function through novel protein interactions in vivo, and for intervening in signal transduction with small molecules that can stabilize or disrupt unique GPCR:PDZ protein interfaces.

Reid Supervisor: Dr. Mickie Bhatia Number of pages: xii, 163 ii JC Reid <- PhD Thesis ❖ McMaster University $ Biochemistry AbstrAct Hematopoiesis is the highly regenerative process of producing billions of blood cells each day, including white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Given the relatively short life span of these mature cells, hematopoiesis is dependent on stem and progenitor cells to generate renewed progeny, which represents a tightly regulated process. This includes cell intrinsic and external factors, and where dysregulation can lead to anemia and cancer. As such, the hematopoietic hierarchy has been intensely studied for nearly a century and represents a gold standard model of cell fate and developmental biology, in research and clinical applications. Cellular models, such as in vitro culture and human-mouse xenografts in vivo, have been developed to explain complex phenomena pertaining to hematopoiesis and also interrogate processes which are too invasive to study in humans. Hematopoietic generation is required beyond sustaining homeostasis, and progenitors can be damaged through cytotoxic injuries such as radiation and standard chemotherapy, and also undergo leukemic transformation.

Egranov1, Zhen Xing1,2, Zhao Zhang3, Ke Liang1, Youqiong Ye3, Yinghong Pan4,5, Sujash S. Chatterjee4, Brandon Mistretta4, Tina K. Nguyen1, David H. Hawke6, Preethi H. Gunaratne4, Mien-Chie Hung7,8, Leng Han3,9, Liuqing Yang1,10,11* and Chunru Lin1,10* Abstract Background: Exercise training is well established as the most effective way to enhance muscle performance and muscle building. The composition of skeletal muscle fiber type affects systemic energy expenditures, and perturbations in metabolic homeostasis contribute to the onset of obesity and other metabolic dysfunctions. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to play critical roles in diverse cellular processes and diseases, including human cancers; however, the functional importance of lncRNAs in muscle performance, energy balance, and obesity remains elusive. We previously reported that the lncRNA H19 regulates the poly-ubiquitination and protein stability of dystrophin (DMD) in muscular dystrophy. Methods: Here, we identified mouse/human H19-interacting proteins using mouse/human skeletal muscle tissues and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Human induced pluripotent stem-derived skeletal muscle cells (iPSC-SkMC) from a healthy donor and Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD) patients were utilized to study DMD post-translational modifications and associated proteins. We identified a gain-of-function (GOF) mutant of H19 and characterized the effects on myoblast differentiation and fusion to myotubes using iPSCs.

  • Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell–Derived Podocytes Mature Into Vascularized Glomeruli Upon Experimental Transplantation
    BASIC RESEARCH www.jasn.org Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell–Derived Podocytes Mature into Vascularized Glomeruli upon Experimental Transplantation † Sazia Sharmin,* Atsuhiro Taguchi,* Yusuke Kaku,* Yasuhiro Yoshimura,* Tomoko Ohmori,* ‡ † ‡ Tetsushi Sakuma, Masashi Mukoyama, Takashi Yamamoto, Hidetake Kurihara,§ and | Ryuichi Nishinakamura* *Department of Kidney Development, Institute of Molecular Embryology and Genetics, and †Department of Nephrology, Faculty of Life Sciences, Kumamoto University, Kumamoto, Japan; ‡Department of Mathematical and Life Sciences, Graduate School of Science, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan; §Division of Anatomy, Juntendo University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan; and |Japan Science and Technology Agency, CREST, Kumamoto, Japan ABSTRACT Glomerular podocytes express proteins, such as nephrin, that constitute the slit diaphragm, thereby contributing to the filtration process in the kidney. Glomerular development has been analyzed mainly in mice, whereas analysis of human kidney development has been minimal because of limited access to embryonic kidneys. We previously reported the induction of three-dimensional primordial glomeruli from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Here, using transcription activator–like effector nuclease-mediated homologous recombination, we generated human iPS cell lines that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the NPHS1 locus, which encodes nephrin, and we show that GFP expression facilitated accurate visualization of nephrin-positive podocyte formation in
