Toxicity and Biodistribution of the Serotype 2 Recombinant Adeno-Associated Viral Vector, Encoding Aquaporin-1, after Retroductal Delivery to a Single Mouse Parotid Gland
2016Co-Authors: Dariya Momot, Changyu Zheng, Hongen Yin, Reem H Elbekai, Molly Vallant, John A ChioriniAbstract:In preparation for testing the safety of using serotype 2 recombinant adeno-associated vector, encoding Aquaporin-1 to treat radiation-induced salivary gland damage in a phase 1 clinical trial, we conducted a 13 week GLP biodistribution and toxicology study using Balb/c mice. To best assess the safety of rAAV2hAQP1 as well as resemble clinical delivery, vector (108, 109, 1010, or 4.461010 vector particles/gland) or saline was delivered to the right parotid gland of mice via retroductal cannulation. Very mild surgically induced inflammation was caused by this procedure, seen in 3.6 % of animals for the right parotid gland, and 5.3 % for the left parotid gland. Long term distribution of vector appeared to be localized to the site of cannulation as well as the right and left draining Submandibular Lymph Nodes at levels.50 copies/mg in some animals. As expected, there was a dose-related increase in neutralizing antibodies produced by day 29. Overall, animals appeared to thrive, with no differences in mean body weight, food or water consumption between groups. There were no significant adverse effects due to treatment noted by clinical chemistry and pathology evaluations. Hematology assessment of serum demonstrated very limited changes to the white blood cell, segmented neutrophils, and hematocrit levels and were concluded to not be vector-associated. Indicators for liver, kidney, cardiac functions and general tissue damage showed n

To best assess the safety of rAAV2hAQP1 as well as resemble clinical delivery, vector (10(8), 10(9), 10(10), or 4.4 × 10(10) vector particles/gland) or saline was delivered to the right parotid gland of mice via retroductal cannulation. Very mild surgically induced inflammation was caused by this procedure, seen in 3.6% of animals for the right parotid gland, and 5.3% for the left parotid gland. Long term distribution of vector appeared to be localized to the site of cannulation as well as the right and left draining Submandibular Lymph Nodes at levels >50 copies/μg in some animals. As expected, there was a dose-related increase in neutralizing antibodies produced by day 29. Overall, animals appeared to thrive, with no differences in mean body weight, food or water consumption between groups. There were no significant adverse effects due to treatment noted by clinical chemistry and pathology evaluations. Hematology assessment of serum demonstrated very limited changes to the white blood cell, segmented neutrophils, and hematocrit levels and were concluded to not be vector-associated. Indicators for liver, kidney, cardiac functions and general tissue damage showed no changes due to treatment. All of these indicators suggest the treatment is clinically safe.

Virulência de linhagens de Rhodococcus equi isoladas de linfonodo de suínos e javalis (Sus scrofa) de abatedouros
Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), 2009Co-Authors: Guazzelli AlessandroAbstract:A rodococose suína compreende doença infecciosa caracterizada por linfadenites piogranulomatosas. Diferentes fatores de virulência são reconhecidos na patogenicidade de Rhodococcus equi. A estrutura da parede celular bacteriana, a viabilidade no interior de fagócitos e na ausência de ferro, a produção de citotoxinas, a resistência aos antimicrobianos convencionais e, recentemente, a presença de proteínas associadas à virulência (Vap) reguladas por plasmídios, são considerados os principais mecanismos de virulência do microrganismo. Diferentes fatores de virulência foram avaliados em 23 (6,1%) linhagens de R. equi isoladas de 378 linfonodos Submandibulares e mesentéricos de suínos e javalis (Sus scrofa). Foram realizados exames microbiológicos em 129 linfonodos apresentando lesões (linfadenite) e 129 sem lesões (controle) de suínos, e 60 linfonodos com lesões e 60 sem lesões de javalis. Dentre as 23 linhagens de R. equi, 19 (7,4%) foram isoladas de suínos, das quais 17 obtidas de linfonodos com lesões e duas sem lesões. Das 19 linhagens de suínos, 18 (94,7%) foram obtidos de linfonodos Submandibulares e um (5,3%) de mesentérico. As quatro (3.3%) linhagens de R. equi isoladas de javalis foram obtidas exclusivamente de linfonodos com lesões. Destes, três foram obtidos de linfonodos Submandibulares e um de mesentérico. Dentre nove antimicrobianos testados, azitromicina (100,0%), gentamicina (100,0%), levofloxacina (100,0%), vancomicina (100,0%), amoxicillina/ácido clavulânico (94,7%), eritromicina (94,7%) e rifampicina (94,7%) foram os fármacos mais efetivos. Baixa ocorrência de resistência aos antimicrobianos nos isolados de suínos foi observada contra os fármacos testados. A concentração inibitória mínima (MIC90) da azitromicina, eritromicina e rifampicina foi observada, respectivamente, em ≤2 µg/mL, ≤0,5 µg/mL and ≤1 µg/mL...The rhodococcosis in swine comprise an infectious disease characterized by pyogranulomatous Lymphadenitis. Different virulence factors are recognized in pathogenicity of the Rhodococcus equi. The structure of bacterial cell wall, the viability inside of phagocytes and in absence of iron, the production of cytotoxins, the resistance to conventional antimicrobials and recently, the presence of proteins associated to virulence (Vap) regulated by plasmids, are considered the most important virulence mechanisms of microorganism. Different virulence factors were evaluated in 23 (6.1%) R. equi strains isolated from 378 Submandibular and mesenteric Lymph Nodes of swine and wild boars (Sus scrofa). Microbiological exams were performed in 129 Lymph Nodes presenting lesions (Lymphadenitis) and 129 without lesions (controls) from swine, and 60 Lymph Nodes with lesions and 60 without lesions from wild boars. Among 23 R. equi strains, 19 (7.4%) were isolated from swine and, from these, 17 were obtained from Lymph Nodes with lesions and two without lesions. From 19 strains isolated from swine, 18 (94.7%) were obtained of Submandibular Lymph Nodes and one (5.3%) from mesenteric. The four (3.3%) R. equi strains isolated from wild boars were obtained exclusively of Lymph Nodes presenting lesions. From these, three were obtained from Submandibular Lymph Nodes and one of mesenteric. Among nine antimicrobials tested, azithromycin (100.0%), gentamicin (100.0%), levofloxacin (100.0%), vancomycin (100.0%), amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (94.7%), erythromycin (94.7%) and rifampin (94.7%) were the most–effective drugs. Low rates of resistance to antimicrobials in swine isolates were observed against drugs tested. The inhibitory minimal concentration of 90% of isolates (MIC90) with use of azithromycin, erythromycin and rifampin were observed respectively in 2 μg/mL, 0.5 μg/mL and 1 μg /mL...
