To study the effects of treatment with an inhaled PI3Kδ inhibitor during recovery from an exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) due to corrective effects on neutrophils that display dysregulated migration characteristics. We aimed to develop novel induced sputum endpoints to demonstrate changes in neutrophil phenotype and proof of mechanism of action in the lung.

View SamplesRationale: The acute respiratory distress syndrome is refractory to pharmacological intervention. Inappropriate activation of alveolar neutrophils is believed to underpin this diseases complex pathophysiology, yet these cells have been little studied.

View SamplesThere is a need for non-invasive imaging protocols to support early phase clinical studies for drugs targeting neutrophilic inflammation. The aim of the study was to quantify whole lung neutrophil accumulation in (i) healthy volunteers (HV) following inhaled lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or saline and (ii) stable COPD patients, using radiolabelled autologous neutrophils and single-photon-emission/computed-tomography (SPECT/CT).

View SamplesWe studied transcriptional changes by Affymetrix human microarrays in DLBCL cell lines as a result of treatment with GSK126, a potent, highly-selective, SAM-competitive, small molecule inhibitor of EZH2
EZH2 inhibition as a therapeutic strategy for lymphoma with EZH2-activating mutations.
Specimen part, Cell line, Treatment
View SamplesThis study was designed to evaluate similarities and differences between transcriptional responses of developing Th17 cells to the prolyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitor, halofuginone, and the mTOR inhibitor, rapamycin. Further comparisons between wild-type and Gcn2-/- Th17 cells allow for investigation into which gene modules regulated by halofuginone or rapamycin treatment require Gcn2.
Halofuginone-induced amino acid starvation regulates Stat3-dependent Th17 effector function and reduces established autoimmune inflammation.
