Project description:ADRs are immune mediated skin reactions of diverse severity and etiology. The patho-mechanisms are however not well understood. We used a gene expression array for the comparison of the gene expression profile of 2 cutaneous adverse drug reactions (MPR and AGEP) to normal skin.
Project description:Severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR) are rare but life-threatening drug reactions mediated by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I-restricted CD8+ T-cells. To obtain an unbiased assessment of SCAR cellular immunopathogenesis, we performed single-cell (sc) transcriptome, surface proteome, and TCR sequencing (5' scRNA-TCR-CITE-seq, 10x Genomics) on unaffected skin, affected skin, and blister fluid from diverse SCAR patients.
Project description:Severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCADR) encompass a wide spectrum of potentially dreadful disease entities resulting from a type IV delayed hypersensitivity reaction. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) provides an opportunity to decipher potential cell-cell interactions and cell-type specific transcriptomic changes, amenable to therapeutic intervention, particularly in rare diseases with heterogenous clinical presentations and lacking experimental animal models, such as SCADR. We performed scRNA-seq on the skin of four patients diagnosed with SCADR syndromes including one toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), one Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), one acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), and one extensive drug-related maculopapular rash (MPR), and three healthy controls.

Project description:G protein-coupled receptors are important drug targets that engage and activate signaling transducers in multiple cellular compartments. Delineating therapeutic signaling from signaling associated with adverse events is an important step towards rational drug design. The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is a validated target for the treatment of diabetes and obesity, but drugs that target this receptor are a frequent cause of adverse events. Using recently developed biosensors, we explored the ability of GLP-1R to activate 15 pathways in 4 cellular compartments and demonstrate that modifications aimed at improving the therapeutic potential of GLP-1R agonists greatly influence compound efficacy, potency and safety in a pathway- and compartment-selective manner. These findings, together with comparative structure analysis, time-lapse microscopy and phosphoproteomics, reveal unique signaling signatures for GLP-1R agonists at the level of receptor conformation, functional selectivity and location bias, thus associating signaling neighborhoods with functionally distinct cellular outcomes and clinical consequences.
