Choosing the Right MS Treatment by Customizing Therapy to the Individual – AJMC.com Managed Markets Network

Tuesday, September 15th, 2020

A policy initiative was set up 5 years ago with the goal of spreading the adoption of a therapeutic strategy to maximize the brain health of every person with MS. The principle idea was that MS should be treated as effectively as early as possible, said Gavin Giovannoni, MBBCh, PhD, FCP (Neurol., SA), FRCP, FRCPath, chair of neurology at the Blizard Institute in the Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry at Queen Mary University of London.

This means intervening early and effectively to affect the trajectory of MS over time. Im convinced we are doing this now, he said.

In the predisease-modifying therapy (DMT) era, by age 65, more than 80% of patients with MS needed a walking stick1. However, by the era of low-efficacy DMTs, that proportion was down to 60%, and now, in the high-efficacy era of DMTs, that proportion has fallen further, to 20% to 30% of patients needing a walking stick by the age of 65.

So, theres no doubt that by adopting this early, effective treatment approach, we have a major impact on the overall outcome, Giovannoni explained.

However, the challenge remains: how do we determine which patients with MS will respond to treatments? If there are 100 patients, its not clear who will or wont respond to therapy, and the only real option is to use statistical modeling.

Providers have to decide if they want to gamble on low- or high-efficacy therapies when they initiate treatment. Should they start with low-efficacy and move through the tiers or go right to the top tier from the outset?

Research has shown that early access to high-efficacy DMTs results in better outcomes. For fingolimod, natalizumab, and alemtuzumab the response rates are much higher, and they are associated with a lower risk of conversion to secondary progressive MS compared with therapies like interferon beta or glatiramer acetate.2 In addition, patients who started on high-efficacy therapies within 2 years of disease onset had less disability after 6 to 10 years than patients who started high-efficacy therapy later in the disease course.3

Theres little doubt in my mindearly access is whats important, Giovannoni said. Early access not late access.

However, treatment is not only about efficacypatients are going to be exposed to serious adverse events on these therapies. This is when patient choice becomes important. Providers will need to take into account issues like family planning and pregnancy when personalizing treatments.

Thats why safety comes into it, Giovannoni said. We always worry about the serious adverse event when we are customizing treatment strategies for patients with multiple sclerosis.

At baseline, the provider needs to look for ways to de-risk the high-efficacy DMTs to make them more palatable for patients to try as a first-line therapy.

Understanding the individuals disease is crucial, including profiling the patient in terms of understanding their risk aversion, adherence, comorbidities, and other factors before customizing treatment However, once that is done, it must be layered onto the health system and economic factors, he pointed out.

So, there is not a simple solution to the customized medicine in relation to our disease-modifying therapy, Giovannoni said.

Subgroup analyses to understand response rates

Predicting a better response to treatments is very important in MS now that there are multiple treatment options to choose from, said Maria Pia Sormani, professor of biostatistics at the University of Genoa, Italy.

However, it is not easy to define response to treatment in MS. For instance, in solid tumors, a reduction in the tumor mass after chemotherapy is defined as a response to treatment because there is no spontaneous mass reduction without treatment. In relapsing-remitting MS, simply having no relapses after an immunomodulatory drug cannot be defined as having a response to treatment, because in the disease, patients can have stable disease course even without treatment.

A subgroup analysis can help better understand patients who are responders to therapy, she explained. One study of cladribine tablets showed that while the overall risk reduction versus placebo was 50%, there were differences in response depending on disease activity.4 In patients with high disease activity, the probability of disease progression was reduced by more than 80% among patients who took cladribine; the reduction was less than 20% in patients without high disease activity.

Sometimes, when many subgroups are tested, researchers will find by chance that some subgroups have a higher response to treatment, but that finding might not be confirmed in a follow-up study, Sormani noted.

Another analysis showed that in the DEFINE study,5 patients with no prior MS treatment had a relapse risk reduction of 67% when treated with oral BG-12 (dimethyl fumarate), but in the CONFIRM study,6 the opposite was true: the reduction was only 36% in patients with no MS treatment, and the risk reduction was larger in patients who had previous treatment (54%).

A new approach that Sormani and her colleagues crafted would create a personalized profile of patients who respond better using a patient-specific continuous score.7 They applied the analysis to 3 trials: ALLEGRO was used to define the score; BRAVO was used to test the score; and CONCERTO was used to externally validate the findings.

The score was able to define responders and nonresponders, and Sormani provided an example of how it might be applied in clinical practice. First instance, take a patient with MS with 1 relapse in the previous year, 1 gadolinium-enhancing lesion on the baseline scan, and a normalized brain volume of 1600 cm3:

In conclusion, Sormani noted that there are now statistical techniques based on post-hoc analyses of clinical trials that can help identify which patients will benefit the most from which treatments in order to choose the best MS therapy for them.

We must try to push on pharmaceutical companies to allow re-analysis of their clinical trials to identify subgroup responders to every drug, she said.

Latin America’s Growing Artificial Intelligence Wave BRINK News and Insights on Global Risk – BRINK

Tuesday, September 15th, 2020

Robots welding at the assembly line of the French car maker Peugeot/Citroen in Brazil. Artificial intelligence offers a chance for the Latin America's economies to leapfrog to greater innovation and economic progress.

E-commerce firms have faced a conundrum in Latin America: How can they deliver packages in a region where 25% of urban populations live in informal, squatterneighborhoods with no addresses?

Enter Chazki, a logistics startup from Peru, which partnered with Arequipas Universidad San Pablo to build an artificial intelligence robot to generate new postal maps across the country. The company has now expanded to Argentina, Mexico and Chile, introducing remote communities and city outskirts to online deliveries.

Thats just one example of how machine learning is bringing unique Latin American solutions to unique Latin American challenges. Artificial intelligence and its correlated technologies could prove a major boon to the regions public and private sectors. In turn, its policymakers and business leaders have to better prepare to take full advantage while warding off potential downsides.

Latin America has long been the victim of low productivity and the COVID-19 pandemic is predictably making matters worse. Now, artificial intelligence is a chance for the regions economies to leapfrog to greater innovation and economic progress. Research suggests that AI will add a full percentage point of GDP to five of South Americas biggest economies Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Peru by 2035.

Artificial intelligence could play transformative roles in Latin America for just about every sector, according to the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB). That means using AI to predict trade negotiation outcomes, commodity prices and consumer trends, or developing algorithms for use in factories, personalized medicine, infrastructure prototyping, autonomous transportation and energy consumption.

AIs applications in Latin America are already becoming reality. Argentinian Banco Galicia, Colombian airline Avianca, and Brazilian online shopping platform Shop Fcil have all adopted chatbots as virtual customer service assistance to help people. Chiles The Not Company developed an algorithm that analyzes animal-based food products and a database of 400,000 plants to generate recipes for vegan alternatives, and Perus National University of Engineering built machines to autonomously detect dangerous gases.

Expect the trend to continue in the near future. An MIT global survey of senior business executives worldwide found that, by the end of 2019, 79% of companies in Latin America had launched AI programs. The results have been positive; fewer than 2% of respondents reported that the initiatives made lower-than expected returns.

Another key factor is public acceptance of AI and automation. Thus far, Latin Americans are ahead of the curve in embracing the future, with another recent poll showing that 83% of Brazilian consumers said they would trust banking advice entirely generated by a computer, compared to a global average of 71%.

In a region that suffers from endemic corruption, pervasive violence, weak institutions and challenging socioeconomic conditions, governments, policymakers and organizations can use AI to tackle critical issues in the region, including food security, smart cities, natural resources and unemployment.

In Argentina, for example, artificial intelligence is being used to predict and prepare for teenage pregnancy and school dropout, as well as to outline unseen business opportunities in city neighborhoods. In Colombia and Uruguay, software has been developed to predict where crimes are likely to occur. In Brazil, the University of So Paulo is developing machine-learning technology that will rapidly assess the likelihood that patients have dengue fever, Zika or chikungunya when they arrive at a medical center.

At a time when public support for democracy in Latin America is flailing, AI could help come to the rescue. Congressional bodies across the region could use AI to boost the transparency and input of the legislative process. Indeed, the Hacker Laboratory, an innovation lab within Brazils Chamber of Deputies, is using AI platforms to facilitate interactions between lawmakers and citizens.

AI is not risk-free, of course. Elon Musk called AI humanitys biggest existential threat, and Stephen Hawking said it could spell the end of the human race.

Apocalyptic scenarios aside, the immediate danger of AI in Latin America is unemployment and inequality. The Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) warned in a 2018 study that between 36% and 43% of jobs could be lost due to artificial intelligence as a result of automatization. Indeed, Latin Americas governments must be prepared to set up guardrails and implement best practices for the implementation of AI.

Several governments in the region have already announced AI public policy plans. Mexico was one of the first 10 countries in the world to create a national AI strategy. Meanwhile, Brazil launched anational Internet of Things plan, which includes the countrys commitment to a network of AI laboratories across strategic areas including cybersecurity and defense. Chile is coordinating with civil society groups and experts to adopt its own AI plan.

Move aside, Mercosur! Governments in Latin America might also find that machine learning strengthens regional ties. That means harnessing AI to crunch data on trade flows and rules, find areas of consensus in multilateral negotiations, or create algorithms for regional trade. After all, AI models have a 300% greater predictive capacity than traditional econometric models, according to the Inter-American Development Bank.

Beyond competing national plans for AI, Latin American leaders should be drafting a strategy that is specific to its region much like the European Union is doing. A key takeaway from the recent UNESCO Regional Forum on AI in Latin America and the Caribbean was that the technology must develop with respect to universally recognized human rights and values.

In 2021, artificial intelligence could generate almost $3 trillion in business value and 6.2 billion hours of productivity worldwide. Latin America is rightfully jumping onto the bandwagon and has the potential to lead the parade in some areas.

To make full use of what could be a transformational productivity revolution for the region, government and business leaders must pump more resources into technology planning and education. The implementation of AI must improve, not accelerate, the regions inequity.

EVOTEC AND BIOASTER PARTNER TO BUILD A TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION HUB IN LYON – PharmiWeb.com

Tuesday, September 15th, 2020

DGAP-News: Evotec SE / Key word(s): Miscellaneous14.09.2020 / 07:30 The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

Hamburg, Germany, 14 September, 2020: Evotec SE (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: EVT, MDAX/TecDAX, ISIN: DE0005664809) and the French-based BIOASTER Technological Research Institute ("BIOASTER") today announced that they have entered into a partnership to advance research for infectious diseases.

Lars Andersson, PhD: The Future of Personalized Medicine for Asthma – MD Magazine

Sunday, September 13th, 2020

Despite not being able to attend conferences live, there are some advantages to a virtual conference.

Personalized medicine might be a realistic target in many specialties in the next decade, including pulmonology.

Recently, in a paper presented at theEuropean Respiratory Society International Congress 2020 (ERS 2020), researchers presented data showing adiponectin and leptin were significantly different between men and women, with higher levels found in female patients.

Lars L. Andersson, PhD, Karolinska Institute, said 1 of the objectives of the study was to get closer to personalized medicine in an effort to derive what treatments could be most effective in individual patients.

Andersson explained in an interview with HCPLive, the new study gives researchers a better understanding of the impact of sex and age on circulating adipokines.

The study included 55 patients with mild to moderate asthma, 72 patients with severe asthma, and 41 patients with COPD. Overall, the researchers found both adiponectin and leptin were highly affected by body mass index (BMI), another datapoint for personalized medicine.

In a subgroup analysis, they found the difference in adiponectin between women and men was smaller in lean patients, while the difference in leptin was smaller in obese patients.

While the study was important, in a normal year Andersson would be able to present it live to his colleagues. However, with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic bringing conferences virtual Andersson was forced to adjust.

However, Andersson said the virtual format has some benefits.

Personalized Medicine, Genetic Testing Could Shape the Future of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer – Curetoday.com

Thursday, September 10th, 2020

While identifying new genetic targets and developing novel drugs is important for the future of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), more emphasis should be put on improving patient access to existing targeted treatments, according to Dr. Nathan A. Pennell.

In an interview with OncLive, CUREs sister publication, Pennell, an associate professor in thedepartment of medicine and director of the lung cancer medical oncology program at theTaussig Cancer Institute of Cleveland Clinic,spoke about current and emerging treatment options in NSCLC, including immunotherapy combinations and personalized treatments involving T cells.

But when it comes to the future, Pennell said, identifying targetable genetic alterations in patients and treating them with existing drugs should be a key area of focus.

Studies have shown that probably fewer than half of people with targetable genetic alterations in lung cancer are being identified and never receiving treatment for this, Pennell said, and I think before we move on to the next exciting drug or the next exciting marker, we should spend a little time making sure that every patient is identified and gets access to the treatments that we already have.

Transcription:

We've made such tremendous progress over the last decade. And just it seems like every year, new targets are emerging and new drugs are getting approved. And so, the speed with which we're moving from discovery to actually treating people has been staggering, and I hope that continues.

There continue to be very promising emerging biomarkers including KRAS mutations, again, HER2 mutations. There certainly is lots of room for improving the efficacy of immunotherapy, which can be tremendously life changing and potentially even curative in patients with metastatic disease. But unfortunately, it's only really working in a minority of patients and so lots of room to be improved in that.

I think combinations of immunotherapy and perhaps even more personalized immunotherapy, using T-cells that recognize individual patients tumors, may be the future for this, or personalized tumor vaccines.

But honestly, instead of just focusing on discovering new treatments and new targets, I think we should focus more on applying what we already know. So, we have tremendous treatments for patients with specific subgroups of lung cancer, but studies have shown that probably fewer than half of people with targetable genetic alterations in lung cancer are being identified and never receiving treatment for this. And I think before we move on to the next exciting drug or the next exciting marker, we should spend a little time making sure that every patient is identified and gets access to the treatments that we already have.

In the precision medicine era, the line between products and services is blurred – – pharmaphorum

Thursday, September 10th, 2020

Personalized and precision medicines are exciting fields that focus on the development of treatment and prevention strategies for a single patient or patient group. The treatments are developed using cutting- edge technologies such as genomic sequencing and genetic engineering, helping to account for the individual variability in both patient and disease characteristics.

This has gained a lot of attention in recent years due to revolutionary breakthroughs in debilitating chronic diseases such as cancer. Traditionally, cancer patients are treated using one size fits all interventions like chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. These vary in their effectiveness and result in damage to healthy tissues.

Personalized and precision medicine, however, can offer specialized treatments that target the patients unique cancer subtype, its genetic mutations, and the affected tissues.

These therapies involve novel pathways and complex processes to aid and deliver treatment, making each therapy a service in its own right. They depend on many touchpoints, stakeholders, partnerships and interdependencies to treat patients.

As a result, designing suitable services to support patients, caregivers and healthcare providers throughout the treatment pathway is essential. However, doing so successfully depends on understanding how to best approach the design of services in this challenging landscape.

Optimizing the service behind the personalized and precision medicine is crucial for turning the treatment into a viable and differentiated option for patients. To make a real difference and ensure the therapy is competitive, we need to adopt a service design approach.

Service design is a multidisciplinary art and science that enables us to take a holistic view of the service experience, along with a deep understanding of the target groups, such as patients and healthcare professionals, and the context they operate in. This can include using empathic methodologies, such as in-depth interviews and field studies.

Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the customers needs, how they experience the current service, and how future services address their unmet needs.

Involving different stakeholders throughout the design process to gain a wide range of knowledge and expertise, and to further drive customer-centricity across the business.

Using visual tools such as sketches, maps and prototypes to improve and ease communication and collaboration between the different stakeholders involved in the creative process (surpassing language and knowledge boundaries).

Following a learning-by-doing approach via continuous prototyping and testing to evaluate solutions before investing time and resources on development.

Understanding how the customer experiences the whole service journey and then identifying insight gaps and opportunities for service innovation by looking at the big picture.

Personalized and precision medicines are naturally patient-centered (compared to traditional pharmaceuticals), as the individual patient is central to the product design. Taking this empathic approach throughout the design process provides a deeper understanding of those needs as well as their context.

This means not only adopting collaborative thinking during the design phase but also during production and development.

To deliver these unique therapies to patients, pharmaceutical companies must partner with a wide range of specialized third parties including laboratories, manufacturers, shipping and storing providers.

Looking at the entire service and all of its touchpoints from above is crucial

By engaging with multidisciplinary teams from all levels across the organization, as well as numerous stakeholders during the co-creation process, you will increase the organizations knowledge and expertise, resulting in better and more fit-for-purpose solutions. Bring this sense of collaboration into the design process to encourage a higher level of consistency, placement and commitment to the patient and ensure they are at the center of the service philosophy.

Novel therapies require designers to be adaptive. New developments such as changes in the supply chain, shorter genomic sequencing process or the need for an additional quality assurance step, often lead to changes to the envisaged treatment pathway. As a result, it is necessary to have a view of the whole service, in one place, which can be continuously updated.

Visual tools such as customer journey maps and service blueprints are a core part of service design. Journey maps (such as the one featured on p.16) provide an overarching view of the customer experience, along with the pain points, gaps, unmet needs and opportunities for engagement. Service blueprints visualize the process behind the service and the people impacted by it. These tools not only make it easier to understand the service, but they can also help simplify communication and increase alignment between the many individuals engaged in the project.

For personalized and precision medicines, patient journeys and service blueprints can help capture the front-end of the service, which is visible to patients, and the back-end processes, which are used by healthcare professionals. This gives us insights into the interactions, touchpoints and relationships between the patient and various stakeholders, such as the different healthcare professionals, carers and patient groups. Looking at the entire service and all of its touchpoints from above is crucial for making improvements that enrich the customer experience.

CAR-T is a new individualized cancer immunotherapy that has taken precision medicine to a new level. In a nutshell, CAR-T therapy involves extracting T-cells (a type of white blood cells that play a key role in immune response) from the patient, genetically engineering them to target the cancer cells and infusing them back into the patients body.

The CAR-T treatment pathway for a blood cancer involves a uniquely large number of stakeholders, touchpoints and interdependent processes that take place both in the front-end (i.e. visible to the patient) and back-end (i.e. visible to healthcare professionals). Below is a high- level overview of a typical CAR-T journey that can illustrate this complexity:

CD19 CAR-T Therapy Manufactured Using Lonza’s Cocoon Platform – Contract Pharma

Thursday, September 10th, 2020

MOH approves Cocoon Platform to manufacture a CD19 CAR-T cell immunotherapy for Phase II clinical trial for B-cell malignancies.

Contract Pharma Staff09.09.20

Lonza and Sheba Medical Center announced the first patient has been treated at Sheba Medical Center with a CD19 CAR-T cell immunotherapy manufactured using Lonzas Cocoon Platform. The Cocoon Platform is an automated and functionally closed system for patient-scale cell therapy manufacturing, designed to overcome some of the manufacturing challenges of manually producing personalized medicines, including autologous CAR-T cell therapies.

Sheba Medical Center and Lonza have collaborated to translate Shebas open, manual manufacturing process into the Cocoon Platform since mid-2019. Teams from Lonza Personalized Medicine and Collaborative Innovation Center (CIC) in Haifa, IL worked closely with Sheba Medical Center to complete process development, tech transfer, training and a full clinical comparability study requiring regulatory approval before the first patient could be treated. The approval of the Cocoon Platform clinical comparability study illustrates the platforms flexibility and ability to manufacture a final cell immunotherapy which is comparable to the original manual process while meeting the extensive patient safety criteria.

Sheba and Lonza plan to treat additional patients under the same CD19 CAR-T cell immunotherapy protocol using the Cocoon Platform. The Cocoon Platform will enable Sheba to reduce immunotherapy manufacturing costs by lowering manpower, time, and space requirements. The goal is to ultimately allow Sheba to deliver potentially curative cellular immunotherapies to more patients.

New York, Sept. 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Global Wearable Electronics Industry" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p03180729/?utm_source=GNW After smartphones and tablets, smart wearables is the new innovation taking the technology to a fevered pitch in the consumer electronics industry. These tiny devices hold the potential to replace smartphones, make the many benefits of digital health real and achievable, enable the rise of hyper-connected interactive enterprises, and make clothing smart, fashionable, functional and comfortable. Benefits of wearables devices include lightweight, extreme portability, durable, easily transportable, convenience, ease-of-use and comfort. Smartwatch is the most popular form and dominant factor for wearables. Other evolving new designs include smart glasses, goggles, bracelets, armbands, necklaces, lanyards, pins, clips, headbands, headsets, belts, shoes, shirts, Jackets and pants, among others. The biggest area of impact in electronic wearables is in the healthcare industry. Medical grade wearables are poised to create a revolution in personalized digital healthcare. Wearables will enable telehealth via remote patient monitoring (RPM) capabilities making healthcare services more efficient, self-determined and cost efficient. Opportunities in this space are immense as the current healthcare system seeks to utilize telehealth to advance value based care goals. A key benefit of telehealth is its ability to drive positive patient experience and eliminate access barriers to offer patient-centric and convenient care. Wearables will also play a key role in precision medicine by providing physicians better knowledge of patients health. Integration of sensors such as physiological sensors and biochemical sensors will provide continuous monitoring of a patients vital signs and timely clinical decisions can be taken such as therapy modifications based on subtle changes observed in health patterns.

From simple biophysical/ biochemical monitoring (BP & diabetes), continuous innovation will expand applications to more advanced continuous arrhythmia detection and monitoring blood pulse signals from human femoral, carotid and radial arteries. Another exciting area of innovation is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) enabled Healthbot applications in smartwatches designed to help patients with disease/therapy management and counselling. Healthbots have the potential to expand the outreach of healthcare services especially in countries and regions where doctor to patient ratio is low thus creating a bottleneck in accessing primary care services. In the addition to healthcare, clothing also represents and emerging area of opportunity for wearables. Innovative development of flexible, transparent graphene electrodes and their integration into commonly used textile fibers will be the first step forward in revolutionizing e-textiles. Significant R&D resources are therefore being sunk into developing processes and engineering techniques to integrate graphene in textiles as it hold the key that will unlock a new universe of commercial application opportunities in the coming years. The United States and Europe represent large markets worldwide with a combined share of 67.9% of the market. China ranks as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 28.4% over the analysis period supported by the fact that the country leads the world in digital health adoption.

Can High Blood Sugar Haunt People with Diabetes Even After it is Under Control? – BioSpace

Thursday, September 10th, 2020

Yes, even your metabolism has a memory and it can hold a grudge for years. In people with diabetes, periods of high blood sugar can negatively impact their health years later, even if they get their blood sugar under control. While this metabolic memory phenomenon has been known for years, why it happens is poorly understood.

Rama Natarajan, Ph.D., Professor and Chair of the Department of Diabetes Complications & Metabolism at City of Hope, turned to our epigenome for the answer.

Weve shown the first link between DNA methylation in blood and stems cells, blood sugar history, and future development of complications, said Natarajan. This highlights the importance of good glycemic control to prevent long-term complications.

The history of metabolic memory

We now know high blood sugar can lead to a variety of complications, including eye disease, kidney disease, nerve problems, heart disease, and stroke. But the relationship between strict blood sugar control and complication risk wasnt well understood before the 1980s.

Back in 1983, the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) began tracking complications in 1,441 participants with type 1 diabetes. Researchers compared the occurrence of long-term complications between participants who tightly regulated their blood glucose levels to those who followed less strict standard regulation.

After 10 years, the difference was striking the risk of diabetic complications was reduced in participants who tightly regulated their blood sugar but not in those following standard regulation. In other words, a person with higher blood sugar had a higher risk of complications.

To continue following the DCCT patients, the Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) follow-up trial began at the end of DCCT in 1993 and is ongoing. At the end of DCCT, all participants were encouraged to adopt strict blood sugar regulation; many in the standard regulation group did.

Despite blood sugar regulation being very similar in all the patients (as measured by hemoglobin A1c, called HbA1c), differences persisted between the two original intervention groups. The phenomenon of long-term effects from high or variable blood sugar control is called metabolic memory (or the legacy effect in type 2 diabetes).

Complications resulted from total high blood sugar exposure it didnt matter whether the person was exposed to slightly elevated levels over a long time or high levels over a short time.

So, what caused the sweet sugar molecule to become so destructive?

Sugary destruction

Extra sugar in your blood can interact with your cells, DNA, and proteins, adding itself onto things it shouldnt be on through a process called glycation. In fact, HbA1c can be thought of as sugar-coated red blood cells.

The sugar-coated molecules cant function as well, if at all, and the damage begins a self-perpetuating cycle. Not only do these damaged molecules stop working, they can also accumulate in the skin, eyes, and other organs, causing damage. Build-up of sugar-coated molecules can trigger the creation of harmful free radicals, causing oxidative stress and feeding a destructive cycle.

Although sugar can directly modify molecules, it can also trigger other epigenetic modifications. These modifications can control how genes are expressed, changing protein levels in cells.

There hasnt been a strong genetic association with diabetic complications very few genetic mutations have been strongly linked to complications, Natarajan explained. But we knew the epigenome is what makes identical twins different and can have implications into why one gets diabetes or cancer and the other doesnt. So, we turned our focus to epigenetics.

Epigenetics and diabetes

Natarajan sought to explain the long-term sugary destruction wrought by high blood sugar by searching the epigenome. Her lab specifically looks for one type of modification called DNA methylation, where a tiny molecule called a methyl group is added onto DNA.

Epigenetics is the coating on top of genetics that can be altered by environmental influences, Natarajan said. We started focusing on the role of epigenetics in developing diabetes and its complications because we know that lifestyles, improper diet, lack of exercise, and even viruses can affect epigenetics.

Natarajans lab began collaborating with the DCCT trial group, analyzing data collected through the trial for epigenetic clues to explain the metabolic memory of complications. They found more modifications associated with active genes on proteins called histones that are wrapped by DNA in participants with regular blood sugar control compared to the strict controllers. Even more interesting was that many epigenetic DNA methylation variations between the two groups persisted through at least 17 years of follow-up in the EDIC study.

These changes were in important genes related to complications, showing something about persistent epigenetic programming in peripheral blood cells, commented Natarajan. Previous high blood sugar episodes could be a key factor in why these genes were continually misbehaving.

Now, Natarajans lab illuminated even more links between epigenetic changes, blood sugar history, and metabolic memory in their recent Nature Metabolism paper. Persistent epigenetic modifications of a few key genes were detected in participants with previously less regulated blood sugar who developed either retinopathy or nephropathy. They showed that DNA methylation is a key link between a patients HbA1c history, metabolic memory, and development of future complications.

Many HbA1c-associated modifications were in stem cells and the blood cells they create. Even though blood cells are turned over relatively quickly, stem cells stick around for a long-time, so changes in stem cells can have long-term consequences.

The important thing we found was the connection to stem cells, explained Natarajan. Were asking how these changes alter inflammatory gene expression and how we can interrupt those pathways.

Sugar-modified genes arent so sweet

Natarajans lab sorted through all the modified genes to find the most common modifications in participants with less strict blood sugar control. The most commonly modified gene coded for thioredoxin-interacting protein (TxNIP).

TxNIP is not a new protein, but the discovery that its DNA methylation is altered by different glycemic control is new, Natarajan added.

Thioredoxin-interacting protein is known to be highly regulated in certain pancreas cells, called beta cells, that release insulin. The plot thickened when high blood sugar was found to increase TxNIP protein production. Even more interesting, high TxNIP protein levels make beta-cells dysfunctional, ultimately leading to their untimely death. So, high blood sugar triggers more TxNIP to be produced, possibly through epigenetic modifications of the TxNIP gene, which ultimately leads to the death of insulin-producing beta cells.

Showing that the TxNIP gene can be epigenetically modified for years and years suggests that it could be one of the culprits causing long-term problems in diabetes, Natarajan said.

The proteins that TxNIP interacts with, called thioredoxins, protect against oxidative stress. TxNIP can bind to and inactivate thioredoxin to increase oxidative stress by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS). In mouse cells in a dish, high glucose exposure triggered increased ROS levels mediated by TxNIP, leading to oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can trigger cell and organ damage, so this could be one mechanism explaining diabetes-induced damage.

Her lab also found epigenetic changes in other genes related to inflammation and inflammation-related processes.

Next steps and clinical implications

Natarajans lab is continuing to study the link between blood sugar history, epigenetics, and other complications of diabetes. They are also expanding their scope, searching the entire genome for more epigenetic modifications linked with past blood sugar maintenance.

This study also lays the groundwork for further studies with meaningful clinical implications, including developing epigenetic biomarkers for diabetic complications. In the future, Natarajan says a simple blood test looking at key epigenetic modifications, along with HbA1c history, could be used to predict future risk of retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy. This would allow the doctor to figure out who should have early and more aggressive treatment to mitigate complication risk.

While these studies were done in type 1 diabetes patients, other studies in type 2 diabetes patients have shown similar epigenetic modifications after history of higher blood sugar levels.

Turning knowledge into potential drugs

What about doing something about the epigenetic modifications can we remove them? As a matter of fact, yes!

There is an interesting new type of experimental drug on the horizon called epigenetic editing. The hot new technology CRISPR isnt just for cutting out chunks of DNA or controlling genes it can also be used to insert or remove epigenetic modifications. While this technology is still experimental and in early preclinical animal studies, the potential is very exciting.

A CRISPR/enzyme pair can be used the CRISPR genetic material can hunt down the genetic spot you want to change; and the attached enzyme can snip or add certain molecules to the DNA, effectively removing or creating an epigenetic modification, thereby activating or silencing the targeted gene.

Enzymes such as methyltransferase or demethylase can add or remove methyl groups from genes. Because they just change what is on the gene or histone wrapped around it (not the genetic sequence itself), the gene itself isnt tampered with, meaning there could be less genetic complications associated with CRISPR epigenetic editing.

This is a futuristic thing, Natarajan concluded. The combination of genetics and epigenetics is going to be the future of personalized medicine.
