BACKGROUND A step change in the night environment is taking place, with the large-scale installation of bright, broad-spectrum road lighting such as white light-emitting diodes (LEDs). One justification for this is a reduction in road traffic collisions (RTCs). This study aimed to estimate the effect of new lighting on personal injury RTCs within a large UK city. METHODS We analysed a 9-year time series of weekly RTC personal injury counts in 132 areas of the city using multilevel modelling. The RTC rate over a full 24-hour period was the primary outcome; darkness and daylight RTC rates were secondary. The background change in RTC rate was separated from the change associated with the number of newly installed bright lamps by including a polynomial underlying time trend for the logarithm of the mean number of collisions per week for each area. The study was based on a rigorous, predesigned and archived protocol. RESULTS Within-area coefficients for the broad lighting effect were positive; as the number of bright lamps in an area increased, so did the RTC rate. The estimate for the increase in the within-area 24-hour RTC rate is 11% (95% CI 2% to 20%). The estimate of darkness-only RTCs is 16% (95% CI 2% to 32%). If the effect of lighting on darkness RTC rate is adjusted by that for daylight, one obtains 4% (95% CI -12% to +23%). CONCLUSION No evidence was found for bright lamps leading to an improvement in road safety in any of the analyses. For this city, introducing brighter road lighting may have compromised safety rather than reducing harm. © Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2020. Re-use permitted under CC BY. Published by BMJ.Oxalate is a common constituent of kidney stones but the mechanism of its transport across epithelia are not well understood. With prior research on the role of the intestine focused on mammals this study considered oxalate handling by teleost fish. Given the osmotic challenge of seawater (SW), teleosts have limited scope for urinary oxalate excretion relative to freshwater (FW). The marine teleost intestine was hypothesized as the principal route for oxalate elimination thus demanding epithelial secretion. To test this, intestinal 14C-oxalate flux was compared between FW- and SW-acclimated sailfin molly (Poecilia latipinna). In SW, oxalate was secreted at remarkable rates (367.90±22.95 pmol cm-2 h-1) which were similar following FW transfer (387.59±27.82 pmol cm-2 h-1), implying no regulation by salinity. Nevertheless, this ability to secrete oxalate 15-19 times higher than mammalian small intestine supports this proposal of the teleost gut as a previously unrecognized excretory pathway. © 2020.

However, as observed with all targeted therapies, resistance arises. Detecting mechanisms of acquired resistance (AR) is crucial to finding novel therapies and improve patient outcomes. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN ROS1 fusions were expressed in in HBEC and NIH-3T3 cells either by cDNA overexpression (CD74/ROS1, SLC34A2/ROS1) or CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genomic engineering (EZR/ROS1). We reviewed targeted large-panel sequencing data (using the MSK-IMPACT assay) patients treated with ROS1 TKIs, and genetic alterations hypothesized to confer AR were modeled in these cell lines. RESULTS Eight of the 75 patients with a ROS1 fusion had a concurrent MAPK pathway alteration and this correlated with shorter overall survival. In addition, the induction of ROS1 fusions stimulated activation of MEK/ERK signaling in comparison with AKT signaling, suggesting the importance of the MAPK pathway in driving ROS1 fusion-positive cancers. Of 8 patients, 2 patients harbored novel in-frame deletions in MEK1 (MEK1delE41_L54) and MEKK1 (MEKK1delH907_C916) that were acquired after ROS1-TKIs, and 2 patients harbored NF1 loss-of-function mutations. Expression of MEK1del or MEKK1del, and knockdown of NF1 in ROS1 fusion-positive cells activated MEK/ERK signaling and conferred resistance to ROS1-TKIs. Combined targeting of ROS1 and MEK inhibited growth of cells expressing both ROS1 fusion and MEK1del. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate that the activation of MAPK pathway is mechanisms of innate or acquired resistance and that patients harboring ROS1 fusion and concurrent MAPK alterations have worse survival. Our findings suggest a treatment strategy to target both aberrations.

Recurrent somatic mutations of splicing factor genes are common in some hematological cancers but are relatively uncommon in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML, less then 20% of patients). We examined whether RNA splicing differences exist in AML, even in the absence of splicing factor mutations. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We developed a bioinformatics pipeline to study alternative RNA splicing in RNA-seq data from large cohorts of AML patients. RESULTS We have identified recurrent differential alternative splicing between patients with poor and good prognosis. These splicing events occurred even in patients without any discernible splicing factor mutations. Alternative splicing recurrently occurred in genes with specific molecular functions, primarily related to protein translation. Developing tools to predict the functional impact of alternative splicing on the translated protein, we discovered that ~45% of the splicing events directly affected highly conserved protein domains. Several splicing factors were themselves misspliced and the splicing of their target transcripts were altered. Studying differential gene expression in the same patients, we identified that alternative splicing of protein translation genes in ELNAdv patients resulted in the induction of an integrated stress response and up-regulation of inflammation-related genes. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/talabostat.html Lastly, using machine learning techniques, we identified a splicing signature of four genes which refine the accuracy of existing risk prognosis schemes and validated it in a completely independent cohort. CONCLUSIONS Our discoveries therefore identify aberrant alternative splicing as a molecular feature of adverse AML with clinical relevance. Copyright ©2020, American Association for Cancer Research.
