Abstract
Select prion diseases are characterized by widespread cerebral plaque-like deposits of amyloid fibrils enriched in heparan sulfate (HS), a abundant extracellular matrix component. HS facilitates fibril formation in vitro, yet how HS impacts fibrillar plaque growth within the brain is unclear. Here we found that prion-bound HS chains are highly sulfated, and that the sulfation is essential for accelerating prion conversion in vitro. Using conditional knockout mice to deplete the HS sulfation enzyme, Ndst1 (N-deacetylase / N-sulfotransferase) from neurons or astrocytes, we investigated how reducing HS sulfation impacts survival and prion aggregate distribution during a prion infection. Neuronal Ndst1-depleted mice survived longer and showed fewer and smaller parenchymal plaques, shorter fibrils, and increased vascular amyloid, consistent with enhanced aggregate transit toward perivascular drainage channels. The prolonged survival was strain-dependent, affecting mice infected with extracellular, plaque-forming, but not membrane bound, prions. Live PET imaging revealed rapid clearance of recombinant prion protein monomers into the CSF of neuronal Ndst1- deficient mice, neuronal, further suggesting that HS sulfate groups hinder transit of extracellular prion protein monomers. Our results directly show how a host cofactor slows the spread of prion protein through the extracellular space and identify an enzyme to target to facilitate aggregate clearance.

Abstract
Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) are joint-lining cells that promote rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathology. Current disease-modifying antirheumatic agents (DMARDs) operate through systemic immunosuppression. FLS-targeted approaches could potentially be combined with DMARDs to improve control of RA without increasing immunosuppression. Here, we assessed the potential of immunoglobulin-like domains 1 and 2 (Ig1&2), a decoy protein that activates the receptor tyrosine phosphatase sigma (PTPRS) on FLS, for RA therapy. We report that PTPRS expression is enriched in synovial lining RA FLS and that Ig1&2 reduces migration of RA but not osteoarthritis FLS. Administration of an Fc-fusion Ig1&2 attenuated arthritis in mice without affecting innate or adaptive immunity. Furthermore, PTPRS was down-regulated in FLS by tumor necrosis factor (TNF) via a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-mediated pathway, and TNF inhibition enhanced PTPRS expression in arthritic joints. Combination of ineffective doses of TNF inhibitor and Fc-Ig1&2 reversed arthritis in mice, providing an example of synergy between FLS-targeted and immunosuppressive DMARD therapies.

Abstract
Marking colon tumors for surgery is normally done with the use of India ink. However, non-fluorescent dyes such as India ink cannot be imaged below the tissue surface and there is evidence for physiological complications such as abscess, intestinal perforation and inconsistency of dye injection. A novel infrared marker was developed using FDA approved indocyanine green (ICG) dye and ultrathin hollow silica nanoshells (ICG/HSS). Using a positively charged amine linker, ICG was non-covalently adsorbed onto the nanoparticle surface. For ultra-thin wall 100 nm diameter silica shells, a bimodal ICG layer of < 3 nm is was formed. Conversely, for thicker walls on 2 μm diameter silica shells, the ICG layer was only bound to the outer surface and was 6 nm thick. In vitro testing of fluorescent emission showed the particles with the thinner coating were considerably more efficient, which is consistent with self-quenching reducing emission shown in the thicker ICG coatings. Ex-vivo testing showed that ICG bound to the 100 nm hollow silica shells was visible even under 1.5 cm of tissue. In vivo experiments showed that there was no diffusion of the ICG/nanoparticle marker in tissue and it remained imageable for as long as 12 days.

Abstract
![]()
We describe the design,
synthesis, and antitumor activity of an
18 carbon α,ω-dicarboxylic acid monoconjugated via an
ester linkage to paclitaxel (PTX). This 1,18-octadecanedioic acid-PTX
(ODDA-PTX) prodrug readily forms a noncovalent complex
with human serum albumin (HSA). Preservation of the terminal carboxylic
acid moiety on ODDA-PTX enables binding to HSA in the
same manner as native long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs), within hydrophobic
pockets, maintaining favorable electrostatic contacts between the
ω-carboxylate of ODDA-PTX and positively charged
amino acid residues of the protein. This carrier strategy for small
molecule drugs is based on naturally evolved interactions between
LCFAs and HSA, demonstrated here for PTX. ODDA-PTX shows
differentiated pharmacokinetics, higher maximum tolerated doses and
increased efficacy in vivo in multiple subcutaneous
murine xenograft models of human cancer, as compared to two FDA-approved
clinical formulations, Cremophor EL-formulated paclitaxel (crPTX)
and Abraxane (nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab)-paclitaxel).

Abstract
Ultrasound (US) guided medical devices placement is a widely used clinical technology, yet many factors affect the visualization of these devices in the human body. In this research, an ultrasound-activated film was developed that can be coated on the surface of medical devices. The film contains 2 μm silica microshells and poly(methyl 2-cyanoacrylate) (PMCA) adhesive. The air sealed in the hollow space of the microshells acted as the US contrast agent. Ozone and perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (PFO) were used to treat the surface of the film to enhance the US signals and provide durable antifouling properties for multiple passes through tissue, consistent with the dual oleophobic and hydrophobic nature of PFO. In vitro and in vivo tests showed that hypodermic needles and tumor marking wires coated with US activated film gave strong and persistent color Doppler signals. This technology can significantly improve the visibility of medical devices and the accuracy of US guided medical device placement.
