  • Publication number: 20230364243
    Abstract: PROTACs (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras) are an emerging class of promising therapeutic modalities that degrade intracellular protein targets by hijacking the cellular ubiquitin-proteasome system. However, potential toxicity of PROTACs in normal cells due to off-tissue on-target degradation effect limits their clinical applications. Precise control of PROTAC's on-target degradation activity in a tissue selective manner could minimize potential toxicity/side-effects. To this end, we developed a cancer cell selective delivery strategy for PROTACs by conjugating a folate group to ubqiquitin recruitment moiety to achieve targeted degradation of proteins of interest (POIs) in cancer cells versus normal cells. We show that our folate-PROTACs, including BRD PROTAC (Folate-ARV-771), MEK PROTAC (Folate-MS432) and ALK PROTAC (Folate-MS99, Folate-S2-MS4048) are capable of degrading BRDs, MEKs and ALK, respectively, in a folate receptor-dependent manner.

  • Patent number: 11802872
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for preparing an expanded renal (kidney) tissue sample suitable for microscopic analysis. Expanding the kidney sample can be achieved by binding, e.g., anchoring, key biomolecules to a polymer network and swelling, or expanding, the polymer network, thereby moving the biomolecules apart as further described herein. As the biomolecules are anchored to the polymer network, isotropic expansion of the polymer network retains the spatial orientation of the biomolecules resulting in an expanded, or enlarged, kidney sample.
