Identification of novel synthetic lethal vulnerability in non small cell lung cancer by co targeting TMPRSS4 and DDR1
Finding novel targets in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is highly needed and identification of synthetic lethality between two genes is a new approach to target NSCLC. We previously found that TMPRSS4 promotes NSCLC growth and constitutes a prognostic biomarker. Here, through large-scale analyses across 5 public databases we identified consistent co-expression between TMPRSS4 and DDR1. Similar to TMPRSS4, DDR1 promoter was hypomethylated in NSCLC in 3 independent cohorts and hypomethylation was an independent prognostic factor of disease-free survival. Treatment with 5-azacitidine increased DDR1 levels in cell lines, suggesting an epigenetic regulation. Cells lacking TMPRSS4 were highly sensitive to the cytotoxic effect of the DDR1 inhibitor dasatinib. TMPRSS4/DDR1 double knock-down (KD) cells, but not single KD cells suffered a G0/G1 cell cycle arrest with loss of E2F1 and cyclins A and B, increased p21 levels and a larger number of cells in apoptosis. Moreover, double KD cells were highly sensitized to cisplatin, which caused massive apoptosis (~40%). In vivo studies demonstrated tumor regression in double KD-injected mice. In conclusion, we have identified a novel vulnerability in NSCLC resulting from a synthetic lethal interaction between DDR1 and TMPRSS4
Results of A Phase 1 study of the oncolytic adenovirus DNX-2401 with radiotherapy for newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG)
Background
A Phase 1, single center study is ongoing to evaluate the conditionally replicative oncolytic adenovirus, DNX-2401 (tasadenoturev), followed by radiotherapy (RT) in pediatric patients with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG).
Methods
Patients 1–18 years with newly diagnosed DIPG with no prior treatment, Lansky/Karnofsky performance score ≥ 70, and adequate organ function were enrolled. A tumor biopsy was performed followed by a single intratumoral injection of 1e10-5e10 virus particles (vp) DNX-2401. Conventional radiotherapy was initiated within 1 month of DNX-2401 administration.
Results
Enrolled subjects (n=12) had a median age of 9 (range 3–18) and performance scores of 90–100 (n=4; 33%) or 70–80 (n=8; 67%). As part of a dose escalation design, subjects were treated with 1e10 vp (n=4) or 5e10 vp DNX-2401 (n=8), which was then followed by standard RT in 11 of 12 subjects (92%). No dose-limiting toxicities were observed and the treatment regimen was well-tolerated. Adverse events (AEs) have been primarily mild to moderate and consistent with underlying disease. The most commonly reported AEs (≥ 5 subjects), regardless of study drug relationship, include headache, asthenia, vomiting, anemia, leukocytosis, and fever. Two SAEs have been reported including grade 3 lymphopenia and grade 3 abdominal pain. Tumor reductions have been observed and efficacy evaluations are ongoing. As of 09Dec2020, 12-month survival (OS-12) was 71% and 4 of 12 patients had survived > 20 months. Four subjects continue to be followed for survival. Correlative analysis of tumor biopsy and peripheral samples is ongoing.
Conclusions
DNX-2401 followed by RT can be safely administered to pediatric subjects with newly diagnosed DIPG; clinical activity and preliminary survival are encouraging

The T80Cam is a camera with a field of view of 2 deg2 mountedon a telescopewith a diameter of 83 cm, and isequippedwith a uniquesystem of filtersspanningtheentireopticalrange (3500–10 000 Å). Thisfiltersystemis a combination of broad-, medium-, and narrow-band filters, optimallydesigned to extracttherest-framespectralfeatures (the 3700–4000 Å Balmer break region, Hδ, Ca H+K, the G band, and the Mg b and Ca triplets) that are key to characterizingstellartypes and delivering a low-resolutionphotospectrumforeach pixel of theobservedsky. With a typicaldepth of AB ∼21.25 mag per band, thisfilter set thusallowsforanunbiased and accuratecharacterization of thestellarpopulation in our Galaxy, itprovidesanunprecedented 2D photospectralinformationforall resolved galaxies in the local Universe, as well as accuratephoto-z estimates (at the δ z/(1 + z)∼0.005–0.03 precisionlevel) formoderatelybright (up to r ∼ 20 mag) extragalacticsources.

Desafíos políticos de los países de inmigración
13 págs.-- Publicado en "Confluencia XXI. Revista de Pensamiento Político" (México), nº 3 (Oct-Dic 2008) bajo el título monográfico "Migrantes: ¿Por qué se van? ¿Por qué se quedan?".Las migraciones, una práctica tan antigua como la propia condición humana, se han
convertido en un factor estructural de primer orden, en uno de los macrofenómenos
más definitorios de nuestra época y en un complejo reto para las sociedades
contemporáneas. En prácticamente todos los países del mundo, todo lo que concierne a este complejo fenómeno ocupa un lugar
destacado en la agenda política. La gestión, el control y la integración de los movimientos internacionales de personas se presentan como un policy field de creciente y prioritaria relevancia. No se trata, sin embargo, de una cuestión de mera moda: el
número de países implicados de manera significativa en las migraciones internacionales ha aumentado considerablemente, hasta el punto de que resulta realmente difícil encontrar algún
Estado que no sea bien un país de inmigración, bien un país de emigración
o bien ambas cosas a la vez, cuando no al menos un país de tránsito. No ha de extrañar
entonces que la mayoría de los gobiernos haya tomado conciencia de la necesidad
de ofrecer una respuesta en términos legales e institucionales a un fenómeno
de carácter permanente que puede llegar a alterar la estructura demográfica, social,
cultural, económica y laboral de un país. Dada la complejidad de la cuestión, y por cuestiones de economía argumentativa, aquí se abordará de manera fundamental desde la perspectiva de los países receptores, que, por lo demás, es también la adoptada en forma habitual por los países europeos que registran mayor inmigración. Sin embargo,
el fenómeno migratorio es fundamentalmente transnacional y tiene fehacientes
repercusiones en los países de emigración.Peer reviewe

RICORS2040 : The need for collaborative research in chronic kidney disease
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a silent and poorly known killer. The current concept of CKD is relatively young and uptake by the public, physicians and health authorities is not widespread. Physicians still confuse CKD with chronic kidney insufficiency or failure. For the wider public and health authorities, CKD evokes kidney replacement therapy (KRT). In Spain, the prevalence of KRT is 0.13%. Thus health authorities may consider CKD a non-issue: very few persons eventually need KRT and, for those in whom kidneys fail, the problem is 'solved' by dialysis or kidney transplantation. However, KRT is the tip of the iceberg in the burden of CKD. The main burden of CKD is accelerated ageing and premature death. The cut-off points for kidney function and kidney damage indexes that define CKD also mark an increased risk for all-cause premature death. CKD is the most prevalent risk factor for lethal coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the factor that most increases the risk of death in COVID-19, after old age. Men and women undergoing KRT still have an annual mortality that is 10- to 100-fold higher than similar-age peers, and life expectancy is shortened by ~40 years for young persons on dialysis and by 15 years for young persons with a functioning kidney graft. CKD is expected to become the fifth greatest global cause of death by 2040 and the second greatest cause of death in Spain before the end of the century, a time when one in four Spaniards will have CKD. However, by 2022, CKD will become the only top-15 global predicted cause of death that is not supported by a dedicated well-funded Centres for Biomedical Research (CIBER) network structure in Spain. Realizing the underestimation of the CKD burden of disease by health authorities, the Decade of the Kidney initiative for 2020-2030 was launched by the American Association of Kidney Patients and the European Kidney Health Alliance. Leading Spanish kidney researchers grouped in the kidney collaborative research network Red de Investigación Renal have now applied for the Redes de Investigación Cooperativa Orientadas a Resultados en Salud (RICORS) call for collaborative research in Spain with the support of the Spanish Society of Nephrology, Federación Nacional de Asociaciones para la Lucha Contra las Enfermedades del Riñón and ONT: RICORS2040 aims to prevent the dire predictions for the global 2040 burden of CKD from becoming true
