Petits ARN interf érents : applications potentielles pour les néphrologues Small interfering RNA: potential applications for nephrologists
Nephrol Ther. 2022 Dec;18(6S1):6S1-6S6. doi: 10.1016/S1769-7255(22)00646-0.ABSTRACTSmall interfering RNA (siRNAs) are double-stranded RNAs of around 20 base pairs in length that trigger RNAi machinery, which promotes degradation of a target mRNA avoiding protein translation. SiRNAs are liver-targeted, using tris N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) as the targeting ligand. This discovery received the Nobel Prize for medicine and physiology in 2006 and lead to substantial therapeutic advances. Application field and development of these siRNA has been very fast. Indeed, patisiran has been released in 2018 for hereditary transthyre...

Blockade of growth hormone receptor signaling by using pegvisomant: A functional therapeutic strategy in hepatocellular carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an aggressive neoplasm with poor clinical outcome because most patients present at an advanced stage, at which point curative surgical options, such as tumor excision or liver transplantation, are not feasible. Therefore, the majority of HCC patients require systemic therapy. Nonetheless, the currently approved systemic therapies have limited effects, particularly in patients with advanced and resistant disease. Hence, there is a critical need to identify new molecular targets and effective systemic therapies to improve HCC outcome. The liver is a major target of the growth hormone recepto...

Treating hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis: Present & amp; future challenges
Rev Neurol (Paris). 2022 Sep 20:S0035-3787(22)00742-1. doi: 10.1016/j.neurol.2022.07.006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv) is a rare, lethal, autosomal dominant adult-onset genetic gain-of function (GOF) disorder provoked by mutations in the TTR gene. Until recently, therapeutic options were limited and consisted mainly in liver transplantation and TTR-stabilizers. In the last few years, ATTRv has been at the center of major therapeutic breakthroughs, including development of effective small interfering RNA (siRNA) and antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) treatments targeting liver TTR ...

Delivering siRNA Compounds During HOPE to Modulate Organ Function: A Proof-of-concept Study in a Rat Liver Transplant Model
Conclusions. FAS inhibition through siRNA therapy decreases the severity of IRI after LT in a SCS protocol; however the association of siRNA therapy with a HOPE perfusion model is very challenging. Future studies using better designed siRNA compounds and appropriate doses are required to prove the siRNA therapy effectiveness during liver HOPE liver perfusion.

Abstracts of Presentations at the Association of Clinical Scientists 143 < sup > rd < /sup > Meeting Louisville, KY May 11-14,2022
Conclusion: These assays are suitable for routine diagnostic. The UltraFast NextGenPCR is the fastest with average time (30mins), followed by Agilent (2 hrs) and MassArray (6hrs). Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to examine, measure and compare results from different assays for SARS detection, evaluate and diagnose accurately, as well as being able to plan, organize and recommend a diagnostic procedure for diagnostic laboratory. Key words: SARS-CoV-2, RNA extraction, RT-PCR, limit of detection, quantification cycle, COVID-19, in vitro diagnostic tests, Agilent, Massarray, Ultrafast. [20] From t...
