Abstract:

The limitations of laboratory medicine with relevance to biomarker tests and global organ disease

Various diagnostic technologies have been used with relevance to genomics, lipidomics, and proteomics to allow more sensitive interpretations with relevance to early cell dysfunction. The diagnostic technologies encompass the genome, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome (central dogma of biology) and determine the cell genome (nuclear receptors) and transcription factor alterations with relevance to concentrations of plasma lipids and proteins. The projected cost of plasma and cell biomarker analysis is expected to be approximately 52 billion dollars by the year 2020. Major efforts with biomarkers have been identified with plasma protein panels to assess progression and severity of diseases. In spite of laboratory medicine and various analyte measurements for chronic diseases early abnormal nuclear-mitochondria interactions have not been identified with toxic immune reactions involved in mitochondrial apoptosis and the induction of programmed cell death.

Abstract:

Expression of CD23 and CD154 by neonatal lymphocytes in cord blood during fetal development

Neonates produce lower levels of IgE compared with adults. Isotype switching to IgE production by human B cells requires a well-coordinated series of events. Thus IL-4 (and to a lesser extent IL-13) and the cognate interaction of B cell (CD40) with T cell (CD40L, CD154) have now been identified as the minimal requirements for the transcription of germline epsilon message and secretion of IgE. This study aimed at the exploration of the relation between CD4, CD19, CD23, and CD154 in fetal cord blood. EDTA blood samples were collected from the umbilical cord of premature and full term births. Adults EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) blood was used as control samples. Samples were processed for flowcytometry by a stain-lyse method using (BD kits). The following antibodies were used for this study: anti-CD19 conjugated to APC, anti-CD23 conjugated to PE, anti-CD154 conjugated to FITC, and anti-CD4 conjugated to FITC (Fluorescein isothiocyanate). Isotype-matched controls were performed for every analysis. The percentages of CD23+ B cells in cord blood were significantly decreased in comparison to the adult blood. CD4+ T cells were significantly decreased in preterm birth while no significant difference was found in full term birth cord blood and adult blood. Regarding CD 154+ cells were significantly lower in cord blood than adult peripheral blood. Thus, it is unlikely that altered expression of CD23 on B cells contributes to the low level of IgE in the neonatal circulation unless functional differences occur or a lack of processing to the soluble form is important in regulating IgE production. However the abundance of T cells could alter the T- and B-cell interaction necessary for IgE switching by B cells and, thereby, especially with impaired IL-4 production, limit IgE production.

Biography:

Ana Lazaro Carrillo has completed her PhD from Autonomous University of Madrid (Spain) with mention of best thesis in 2017 granted by SEBC (Spanish Society of Cell Biology). She is a Teaching Assistant in the Department of Biology, a premier research organization. She has participated in more than 30 international congresses and more than 70 meetings, workshops and courses. She has published 7 papers in journals of high recognition and has been serving as Reviewer of repute journals. In addition, she has participated in research and dissemination activities related to Multifun project, funded by the European Union and has been a Research Member of two projects funded by Spanish Ministry for Economy and Competitiveness. Her research interest include: cell biology; photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy for cancer treatment; internalization, biocompatibility and efficient delivery of nanostructures in vitro (cell cultures); cell death mechanisms and cellular inactivation; activity of cancer stem cells (established cell lines and patient samples).

Abstract:

Nowadays different strategies are being introduced in order to enhance photodynamic therapy (PDT) effectiveness, such as combination of PDT with chemotherapy or improvement of photosensitizer (PS) features. A new combined PDTchemotherapy treatment comprising two drugs widespread in clinical research - the hydrophobic zinc(II)-phthalocyanine (ZnPc) as PS and the common chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (DOX) - were tested. Cytotoxicity assay showed that this combination remarkably increases the effectiveness of the treatment by inducing a synergistic cell death effect (lower than 10%) when compared to DOX or ZnPc monotherapy (cell surviving around 80%). In addition, annexin-V detection by flow cytometry, analysis of active caspase-3 and cytochrome c by immunofluorescence and time-lapse videomicroscopy corroborated a fine-tunable effect depending on light dose, leading to apoptotic or necrotic mechanism of cell death. Using DCFH-DA (dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate) probe, we demonstrate that a significant higher reactive oxygen species generation into cells was the main cause of the synergistic effect of this combined treatment. Further, mammosphere formation efficiency assay showed a reduced breast cancer stem cell activity in established cell line and primary cells obtained from patients, even using DOX at much lower concentration than clinical level. Finally, studies in human breast cancer xenografts indicated a high efficiency also in vivo. All these results provide novel and valuable information that contribute to consider chemophototherapy as a promising tool in current antitumoral treatments, potentially overcoming resistance to cancer chemotherapy and targeting cancer stem cells

Data analytics is evolving into a promising method to provide insight from large amounts of data into improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. Since most of the information used by healthcare providers for medical decisions is derived from laboratory testing, better use of the critical information within the laboratory’s data system can help to improve efficiency as well. One application for data analytics is to target the errors encountered in the preanalytical phase. These errors include patient/sample misidentification, hemolyzed/clotted specimens, insufficient specimen quantity, and improper test ordering, all of which may increase costs and negatively impact patient care. Reducing these errors can contribute to higher value-added patient outcomes (e.g., enhanced patient safety, fewer repeat blood draws). Additionally, incorporating data analytics can also assess laboratory competency and identify opportunities for overall quality improvement.
