MICROBIAL SYNTHESIS OF THERAPEUTIC BILE ACIDS FOR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE - ABSTRACT THIS PHASE STTR PHASE II PROPOSAL AIMS TO ENGINEER AND SCALE-UP A SYNTHETIC METABOLIC PATHWAY IN A MICROBIAL HOST TO PRODUCE UDCA AND RELATED COMPOUNDS. ADDITIONALLY, THE UDCA PRODUCED FROM THE ENGINEERED SYNTHETIC METABOLIC PATHWAY WILL BE USED TO SYNTHESIZE DERIVATIVES FOR TESTING IN OUR ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE CELL AND ANIMAL MODELS. THE PROPOSED WORK HAS HIGH INTELLECTUAL MERIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: (I) UDCA BIOSYNTHESIS DOES NOT OCCUR IN ANY ORGANISM WHOSE CULTIVATION CAN BE SCALED TO MEET GLOBAL DEMAND, (II) UDCA REQUIRES A MULTI- ORGANISM BIOSYNTHETIC PATHWAY (ANIMAL CHOLIC ACIDS CONVERTED TO UDCA BY THE GUT MICROBIOME) THAT WILL HAVE TO BE RECONSTITUTED IN A SINGLE CELL, AND (III) THE ANTICIPATED SCALE AND COMPLEXITY OF THIS ENGINEERING EFFORT (COMBINING MORE THAN A DOZEN GENES FROM FOUR ORGANISMS) ARE ON THE EDGE OF WHAT IS FEASIBLE. TECHNICAL HURDLES INVOLVE THE DISCOVERY OF NEW ENZYMES THAT CONVERT ERGOSTEROL TO CHOLESTEROL (A PROCESS KNOWN TO EXIST IN BRINE SHRIMP), ACHIEVING PROPER LOCALIZATION AND ENZYMATIC ACTIVITY FOR FIFTEEN RECOMBINANT GENE PRODUCTS IN YEAST, AND BALANCING THE EXPRESSION LEVELS OF EACH GENE TO SUPPORT HIGH-TITER PRODUCTION OF UDCA IN YEAST. THE COMBINED METSELEX/UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA TEAM WILL OVERCOME THESE HURDLES USING THEIR PLATFORM FOR MULTI-GENE PATHWAY REFACTORING AND HIGH-THROUGHPUT DNA ASSEMBLY AND ANALYTICAL METHODS. EXPERIENCE WITH THESE TOOLS/APPROACHES AND SUCCESS IN ENGINEERING SIMILAR SYNTHETIC METABOLIC PATHWAYS QUALIFIES THIS TEAM CONDUCT THESE STUDIES AND WILL ENABLE THEM TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR PHASE II GOALS.

THE WESTERN NEW YORK REGIONAL 24-7 VIRTUAL ON-CALL MAT CENTER - WESTERN NEW YORK REGIONAL 24-7 VIRTUAL ON-CALL MAT CENTER THE GOAL OF THIS INITIATIVE IS TO EXPAND, ENHANCE, AND SUSTAIN ACCESS TO MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT (MAT) SERVICES AND RECOVERY SUPPORTS FOR PERSONS WITH OPIOID USE DISORDER (OUD) SEEKING OR RECEIVING MAT IN THE WESTERN NEW YORK REGION. THREE MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES THAT ALIGN THE REGION’S NEEDS AND TREATMENT GAPS WILL BE CAPABLE OF SERVING 456 PEOPLE OVER 5 YEARS (STARTING WITH 48 IN YEAR 1 AND REACHING 120 ANNUALLY BY YEAR 5): OBJ. 1: IMPLEMENT/SUSTAIN TELEMEDICINE 24/7 MAT INITIATION TO EXPAND THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WITH OPIOID USE DISORDER (OUD) RECEIVING MAT (ENGAGE & START MAT); OBJ. 2: IMPLEMENT/SUSTAIN CASCADE OF CARE FRAMEWORK TO CONNECT 24/7 INITIATION TO LONG-TERM RECOVERY SUPPORTS (RETAIN OVER 6 MONTHS WITH EVENTUAL REMISSION); AND OBJ. 3: PROGRESS REPORTING, PERFORMANCE EVALUATION, & SUSTAINMENT. THE PROJECT CATCHMENT AREA IS THE WESTERN END OF NEW YORK STATE, COMPRISED OF TWO METROPOLITAN COUNTIES (HOME TO BUFFALO, NY AND NIAGARA FALLS, NY) SURROUNDED BY SIX RURAL COUNTIES, WITH AN ESTIMATED 1.5+ MILLION POPULATION. THE AREA HAS OVER 72,000 PERSONS WITH OPIOID USE DISORDER INVOLVING NON-MEDICAL OR ILLICIT USE OF OPIOIDS. OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS THERE HAS BEEN A SPIKE IN BOTH OPIOID OVERDOSE DEATHS (57%) AND OPIOID RELATED ED VISITS (58%) ALONG WITH GROWING TREATMENT GAPS DUE TO COVID SHUTDOWNS. THE APPROACH IS FOUNDED ON THE EVIDENCED-BASED USE OF MAT VIA THE DEPLOYMENT OF AN EXISTING POOL OF UNIVERSITY AT BUFFALO X-WAIVERED TRAINED PRACTITIONERS INCLUDING NINE PHYSICIANS BOARD-CERTIFIED IN ADDICTION MEDICINE WHO WILL WORK ON-CALL IN A NEW REGIONAL 24-7 VIRTUAL MAT CENTER (OBJ. 1). ADAPTING THE “ED-INITIATED BUPRENORPHINE WITH FACILITATED TRANSITIONS” EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE, OUR INITIATIVE WILL MODIFY THE MODEL TO A VIRTUAL TELEMEDICINE APPROACH. TO FURTHER ADDRESS TREATMENT GAPS, THE REGIONAL ON-CALL MAT CENTER WILL ALSO SERVE AS THE RAPID ACCESS FRONT-END FOR AN EVIDENCE-BASED VALUE NETWORK CASCADE OF CARE FRAMEWORK (OBJ. 2) THAT WILL CONNECT MAT INITIATED CASES TO LONG-TERM RECOVERY SUPPORTS. THIS IS A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE COLLABORATIVE OF OVER 85 PARTNERS THAT SERVE PATIENTS IN ALL 8 COUNTIES OF WESTERN NY. IN THIS PROPOSAL, THE TELEMEDICINE MAT-INITIATION MODEL (ON-CALL MAT CENTER) WILL BE CONNECTED TO THIS SUD TREATMENT AGENCY COLLABORATIVE VIA NAVIGATORS. THIS PROPOSAL ALSO USES OTHER REVENUE SOURCES REALIZED FROM THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES TO ESTABLISH AND SUSTAIN THE PROGRAM. THE CALL-TIME EXPENSE OF THE ON-CALL PHYSICIANS STAFFING THE VIRTUAL ON-CALL MAT CENTER IS ANTICIPATED TO BE SUPPORTED BY REVENUE OVER THE PROJECT PERIOD. LASTLY, PERFORMANCE-BASED PROGRAM ASSESSMENTS WILL DRIVE ADJUSTMENTS TO FULLY SUSTAIN THE ON-CALL MAT CENTER BEYOND THE GRANT (OBJ. 3).

IOP-CONNECT SYSTEM FOR LONG-TERM CONTINUOUS MONITORING OF GLAUCOMA THERAPY BY MEANS OF AN IMPLANTABLE AUTONOMOUS INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE SENSOR - PROJECT SUMMARY THE IOP-CONNECT SYSTEM IS A MEDICAL DEVICE THAT INCORPORATES NOVEL MICROELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY AND DATA SCIENCE TO REVOLUTIONIZE GLAUCOMA PATIENT CARE BY ENABLING LONG-TERM CONTINUOUS MONITORING OF GLAUCOMA THERAPY EFFECTIVENESS. THE IOP-CONNECT IS THE ONLY CONTINUOUS IOP-MONITORING SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY TO RECEIVE A BREAKTHROUGH DEVICE PROGRAM DESIGNATION FROM FDA. THE GOAL OF THIS PHASE II PROJECT IS TO BUILD ON PRIOR SUCCESSFUL “FEASIBILITY” OUTCOMES (PHASE I EQUIVALENT) BY IMPLEMENTING INNOVATIVE ADVANCEMENTS IN THE IOP-CONNECT SYSTEM DESIGN TO ACHIEVE A FINAL PRODUCT CONFIGURATION AND PREPARE FOR FUTURE PIVOTAL CLINICAL STUDY(S). THE OUTCOMES WILL INFORM AND DRIVE THE RIGOROUS GLP ANIMAL AND CLINICAL STUDIES ROADMAP TO GENERATE SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS DATA TO SUPPORT FDA APPROVAL. THE IOP-CONNECT SYSTEM INNOVATES IOP MEASUREMENT/MONITORING BEYOND THE CURRENT GOLD STANDARD AND, FOR THE FIRST TIME, ENABLES REAL-TIME (E.G., DAILY REMOTE) ASSESSMENT OF IOP-REDUCTION EFFECTIVENESS FOR GLAUCOMA TREATMENT. INJECTSENSE ENABLES THIS PRODUCT BY ENGINEERING INNOVATIVE PRODUCT FEATURES SUCH AS: 1) LONG-TERM OCULAR IMPLANT (IPM) WITH IN-VIVO SAFETY AND PRESSURE SENSOR STABILITY, 2)DIRECT MEASUREMENT OF TRUE IOP INTRAVITREALLY, AND 3) MICROBATTERY-ENABLED AUTONOMOUS (NON-DISRUPTIVE) CONTINUOUS LOGGING OF UNINFLUENCED IOP. THE IPM IS THE CORE ENABLING INNOVATION OF THE SYSTEM AND IS BUILT ON INJECTSENSE’S PROPRIETARY MICROFABRICATION TECHNOLOGY. THE IPM IS A MILLIMETER-SCALE, LONG-TERM IMPLANTABLE DEVICE. IT COMBINES A CAPACITIVE MICROELECTROMECHANICAL SYSTEM (MEMS) PRESSURE SENSOR, A SAMPLING AND DIGITIZING APPLICATION-SPECIFIC INTEGRATED CIRCUIT (ASIC), AN ENERGY STORAGE LAYER (BATTERY), AND A TELEMETRY COIL INTEGRATED AND ENCLOSED IN AN INJECTABLE CARRIER. IN FEASIBILITY STUDIES, INJECTSENSE USED FUNDAMENTALLY NOVEL MINIATURIZATION AND PACKAGING TECHNOLOGIES TO DEVELOP A FUNCTIONAL IMPLANTABLE PROTOTYPE (WITHOUT THE MICROBATTERY). SHORT-TERM NON-GLP ANIMAL STUDIES DEMONSTRATED: 1) THE PROTOTYPE CAN BE SAFELY IMPLANTED IN THE EYEBALL USING A MINIMALLY INVASIVE PROCEDURE WITH NO ADVERSE EFFECTS, 2) THE PROTOTYPES WERE ABLE TO TRANSMIT IOP DATA ON DEMAND FOR ONE WEEK, AND 3) THE IOP MEASUREMENTS WERE WITHIN 3MMHG OF A REFERENCE TONOMETER. THE PHASE II OBJECTIVE IS TO DEVELOP A PRODUCTION-READY SYSTEM THAT PERFORMS AUTONOMOUS CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT AND LOGGING OF IOP DATA AND TELEMETRICALLY TRANSMITS THE DATA VIA IOP-CONNECT. AIM 1 IS TO DESIGN, DEVELOP AND BUILD AN IMPLANTABLE AUTONOMOUS IOP SENSOR MODULE, WHERE THE EXISTING PRESSURE SENSING MODULE INCORPORATES: 1) A CUSTOM LIPON (LITHIUM PHOSPHORUS OXYNITRIDE) SOLID-STATE MICROBATTERY FOR AUTONOMOUS IOP DATA COLLECTION, AND 2) AN EMBEDDED CERAMIC INDUCTOR TO IMPROVE RELIABILITY AND STABILITY OF POWER TRANSFER AND TELEMETRY. AIM 2 IS TO CONDUCT NON-GLP ANIMAL TESTING TO VERIFY IN-ANIMAL AUTONOMOUS SYSTEM EFFICACY.

BESTSELF SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS REENTRY INITIATIVE

MANUFACTURING DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIAL READINESS OF AN ADENO-ASSOCIATED VIRUS-BASED GENE THERAPY FOR THE TREATMENT OF LEBER CONGENITAL AMAUROSIS TYPE 1 - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT ATSENA THERAPEUTICS IS DEVELOPING ATSN-101, AN ADENO-ASSOCIATED VIRUS (AAV)-BASED GENE THERAPY PRODUCT, INDICATED FOR TREATMENT OF LEBER CONGENITAL AMAUROSIS TYPE 1 (LCA1). LCA1 IS A CHILDHOOD BLINDING DISEASE, FOR WHICH NO TREATMENTS CURRENTLY EXIST. ATSENA HAS COMPELLING CLINICAL DATA WITH ATSN-101. IN A PHASE 1/2 TRIAL, TREATED LCA1 PATIENTS EXPERIENCED CLINICALLY MEANINGFUL IMPROVEMENTS IN RETINAL SENSITIVITY AND FUNCTIONAL VISION. ATSENA IS NOW READYING ATSN-101 FOR USE IN A PHASE 3 CLINICAL TRIAL, SUBMISSION FOR APPROVAL BY THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA) AND COMMERCIALIZATION. THE DIRECT TO PHASE II SBIR PROJECT AIMS TO CONDUCT THE MANUFACTURING DEVELOPMENT STUDIES NECESSARY TO YIELD A PHASE 3 AND COMMERCIAL-READY ATSN-101 PRODUCT. ATSENA HAS A CLINICAL / COMMERCIAL MANUFACTURING PLATFORM IN PLACE, TO WHICH ATSN-101 WILL BE ADAPTED. THE PROJECT WILL 1) EMPLOY STATISTICAL APPROACHES TO DEFINE OPTIMAL PROCESS PARAMETERS AND ACQUIRE ADEQUATE PROCESS KNOWLEDGE FOR FDA APPROVAL, 2) INNOVATE PRODUCT-SPECIFIC ANALYTICAL ASSAYS REQUIRED FOR FDA APPROVAL AND ADOPT THE INDUSTRY’S BEST METHODS FOR ANALYTICAL TESTING, AND 3) DEMONSTRATE ATSN-101 PRODUCT COMPARABILITY SUFFICIENT FOR FDA APPROVAL THROUGH ANALYTICAL TESTING AND A NONCLINICAL STUDY IN A MOUSE MODEL OF LCA1. ATSENA’S VETERAN BIOTECH TEAM IS WELL-EQUIPPED TO EXECUTE ON THE PROJECT PLAN. THE PROJECT RESULTS WILL ENABLE CONDUCT OF A PHASE 3 CLINICAL TRIAL, PREPARATION OF A BIOLOGICAL LICENSE APPLICATION (BLA) FOR ATSN-101, AND ULTIMATELY, COMMERCIALIZATION OF A GENE THERAPY FOR LCA1 PATIENTS. LCA1 IS RARE, INHERITED RETINAL DISEASE (IRD), READILY TREATABLE BY GENE THERAPY. LCA1 PATIENTS HAVE SEVERELY ABNORMAL RETINAL FUNCTION BUT MAINTAIN RELATIVELY NORMAL RETINAL STRUCTURE THROUGHOUT THEIR LIFETIME. ATSN-101 COULD BE AN EFFECTIVE, VISION-RESTORING TREATMENT FOR ALL LCA1 PATIENTS, BUT WILL BE PARTICULARLY IMPACTFUL FOR CHILDREN. THE CONSEQUENCES OF EXTREME LOW VISION, EXACERBATED IN CHILDREN, INCLUDE DRAMATICALLY INCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF NEUROATYPICAL DEVELOPMENT, QUANTITATIVELY AND QUALITATIVELY REDUCED QUALITY OF LIFE, AND STATISTICALLY INCREASED LIFELONG RISK OF DEPRESSION AND MORTALITY. THIS PROJECT IS WELL- ALIGNED WITH THE MISSION OF THE NATIONAL EYE INSTITUTE (NEI), TO ELIMINATE VISION LOSS AND IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE THROUGH VISION RESEARCH. LCA1 PATIENTS HAVE PROFOUNDLY IMPAIRED VISION BUT ATTAINED SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED RETINAL SENSITIVITY AND FUNCTIONAL VISION AFTER ATSN-101 TREATMENT. IF PROVEN EFFECTIVE, ATSN-101 COULD IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR LCA1 PATIENTS, REDUCE THEIR DEPENDENCE ON CARETAKERS, AND REDUCE THE OVERALL SOCIOECONOMIC IMPACT OF IRD IN THE UNITED STATES. THIS PROJECT IS ALSO WELL-ALIGNED WITH THE MISSIONS OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (NIH) SBIR PROGRAM, SPECIFICALLY, TO INCREASE PRIVATE SECTOR COMMERCIALIZATION OF INNOVATIONS DEVELOPED THROUGH FEDERAL FUNDING. ATSN-101 HAS A SHORT PATH TO FDA APPROVAL AND COMMERCIALIZATION. IF SUCCESSFUL, ATSENA COULD BRING THE FIRST TREATMENT FOR LCA1 TO MARKET WITH THE HELP OF FEDERAL FUNDING.

IMPROVING OUTCOMES IN CANCER TREATMENT-RELATED CARDIOTOXICITY - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT ANTHRACYCLINES, SUCH AS DOXORUBICIN (DOX), ARE EFFECTIVE FOR THE TREATMENT OF MANY CANCERS (OVARIAN, MULTIPLE MYELOMA, KAPOSI SARCOMA, LEUKEMIA, BONE SARCOMA, BREAST, ENDOMETRIAL, GASTRIC, LIVER, KIDNEY, AND OTHER CANCERS). THE GLOBAL DOX MARKET IS INCREASING ANNUALLY AND EXPECTED TO REACH $1.3B BY 2026. DOX TOXICITY IS THEREFORE RELEVANT TO A BROAD NUMBER OF CANCERS. HOWEVER, CHEMOTHERAPY INDUCED CARDIAC TOXICITY HAS SUBSTANTIAL MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY. CARDIOTOXICITY AND RECOVERY FROM DNA DAMAGING CHEMOTHERAPY IS DOSE-DEPENDENT. WITH CANCER SURVIVORS ESTIMATED AT 19 MILLION IN THE USA BY 2025, DOX-INDUCED CARDIOTOXICITY IS CONSIDERED TO BE PART OF THE “CARDIO-ONCOLOGY EPIDEMIC”. THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW APPROACHES TO REDUCE CHEMOTHERAPY-INDUCED CARDIOTOXICITY IS ESSENTIAL. DEXRAZOXANE (DEX), IS FDA APPROVED FOR THE SPECIFIC INDICATION OF “DOXORUBICIN ADMINISTRATION IN WOMEN WITH METASTATIC BREAST CANCER WHO HAVE RECEIVED A CUMULATIVE DOXORUBICIN DOSE OF 300 MG/M2 AND WHO WILL CONTINUE TO RECEIVE DOXORUBICIN THERAPY TO MAINTAIN TUMOR CONTROL”. DEX HAS THE RISK OF MYELOTOXICITY(5). IN OFF LABEL USE OF DEX IN OTHER CANCER POPULATIONS, CARDIAC PROTECTION WAS INCOMPLETE. IN THE PEDIATRIC POPULATION DEX PROVIDED “'INCOMPLETE ACUTE CARDIOPROTECTION AND “NO IMPACT ON CHRONIC CARDIOPROTECTION OR OVERALL SURVIVAL”. LIGHTSEED HAS ASSEMBLED A HIGHLY EXPERIENCED TEAM (ONCOLOGIST-CANCER BIOLOGIST (WITH PRIOR BIOTECHNOLOGY COMPANY EXPERTISE), CARDIO-ONCOLOGIST, HIGH THROUGHPUT LEAD DISCOVERY EXPERT, IMMUNE CANCER BIOLOGIST- MOUSE GENETICIST) IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY AND REPURPOSE FDA-APPROVED COMPOUNDS WITH “DUAL FUNCTION” (ENHANCE CANCER CELL KILLING BY DOX BUT PROTECTION FROM DOX CARDIOTOXICITY). THREE COMPOUNDS FROM THE FDA- APPROVED COMPOUND LIBRARY HAVE BEEN VALIDATED. WE ARE SEEKING ADDITIONAL “DUAL FUNCTION” COMPOUNDS FROM THE LIBRARIES. WE HAVE DEPLOYED AN INNOVATIVE GENETICALLY MODIFIED MURINE TESTING SYSTEM WHICH: (I). ALLOWS COMPARISON WITH THE INCUMBENT TECHNOLOGY (DEX), (II). PROVIDES A NORMAL IMMUNE SYSTEM FOR THE TUMOR IMMUNE RESPONSE. (III). ALLOWS ANALYSIS OF THE HOST IMMUNE RESPONSE USING DOUBLE KNOCKIN FLUORESECENT REPORTER GENES. (IV). ALLOWS DETECTION OF THE TUMOR GROWTH USING A THIRD FLUORESCENT REPORT GENE FOR IN VIVO PROGRESSION ANALYSIS. LIGHTSEED WILL IDENTIFY ADDITIONAL “DUAL FUNCTION” COMPOUNDS BY HIGH THROUGHPUT SCREENING UNDER THE DIRECTION OF A CORE DIRECTOR WHO IS HIGHLY EXPERIENCED WITH HTS SCREENING (PREVIOUSLY HEAD OF LEAD DISCOVERY AT JANSSEN FOR 15 YRS). LIGHTSEED WILL USE CARDIOMYOCYTE CELLS DERIVED FROM POOLED IPSC-CM (IPSC-DERIVED CARDIOMYOCYTES) AND CANCER CELLS. THIS PROPOSAL WILL: (SA1). SCREEN A LIBRARY THAT CONSISTS OF FDA AND EU APPROVED COMPOUNDS, USING AN ASSAY THAT PROTECTS HUMAN CARDIAC MYOCYTES FROM DOX-INDUCED CARDIAC TOXICITY AND ENHANCES CANCER CELL KILLING. (SA2). VALIDATE THESE COMPOUNDS IN TISSUE CULTURE AND (SA3) IN A NOVEL “DUAL FUNCTION” REPORTER MOUSE SYSTEM.

HIGH-THROUGHPUT DIRECT SEQUENCING AND QUANTITATIVE MAPPING OF RNA MODIFICATIONS USING MASS SPECTROMETRY. - SEQUENCING RNA MODIFICATIONS IS CHALLENGING DUE TO THE EXISTENCE OF OVER 170 UNIQUE CHEMICAL NUCLEOTIDE ALTERATIONS. TRNAS, CONSTITUTING ABOUT 25% OF CELLULAR RNA AND DECODING 61 MRNA CODONS, OFTEN HAVE 8-14 MODIFICATIONS EACH. THESE MODIFICATIONS ARE CENTRAL TO FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY, CELLULAR REGULATION, AND DISEASES SUCH AS CANCER AND NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS. UNBIASED, COMPREHENSIVE SEQUENCING OF RNA MODIFICATIONS IS VITAL FOR UNDERSTANDING THESE COMPLEX PROCESSES. CURRENT TECHNIQUES, INCLUDING NEXT-GENERATION SEQUENCING (NGS), DEPEND ON COMPLEMENTARY DNA (CDNA) INTERMEDIATES, FAILING TO CAPTURE THE COMPLETE TRNA MODIFICATION PROFILE. THEY OFTEN OVERLOOK OR BIAS CERTAIN TYPES, AND ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR TRNAS, WHICH HAVE REVERSE-TRANSCRIPTASE-BLOCKING NUCLEOTIDE MODIFICATIONS. THE HETEROGENEITY OF TRNA MODIFICATIONS, WITH OVER 100 IDENTIFIED TYPES SHOWING VARYING MODIFICATION LEVELS, ADDS COMPLEXITY. ALTHOUGH NANOPORES SHOW POTENTIAL FOR SEQUENCING ALL RNA MODIFICATIONS, TRAINING OVER 170 DIFFERENT STANDARD NUCLEOTIDE MODIFICATIONS WHILE PRESERVING UNIQUE SIGNATURE ELECTRONIC SIGNALS PRESENTS FORMIDABLE CHALLENGES. MASS SPECTROMETRY (MS), DESPITE ITS ABILITY TO CHARACTERIZE RNA MODIFICATIONS WITHOUT BIAS, HAS LIMITATIONS. CONVENTIONAL MS METHODS LIKE TANDEM MS (MS2) LOSE ESSENTIAL DETAILS ABOUT MODIFIED NUCLEOTIDE LOCATION AND CO-OCCURRENCE, AND THE COMPLEXITY OF ITS SPECTRA OBSTRUCTS HIGH-THROUGHPUT SEQUENCING OF INTRICATE TRNAS. TO COUNTER THESE CHALLENGES, WE'VE DEVELOPED NEXT-GENERATION MASS SPECTROMETRY-BASED SEQUENCING (NGMS-SEQ) METHODS. UTILIZING TWO-DIMENSIONAL (2D) MASS-RETENTION TIME LADDERS INSTEAD OF MS2 FRAGMENTATION, NGMS-SEQ HAS DEMONSTRATED THE POTENTIAL TO SEQUENCE SPECIFIC TRNAS DE NOVO AND SIMULTANEOUSLY SEQUENCE AND QUANTIFY ALL NUCLEOTIDE MODIFICATIONS WITHOUT BIAS. IN THIS APPLICATION, OUR AIMS ARE TO: 1) ADVANCE NGMS-SEQ TOWARD HIGH THROUGHPUT FOR DIRECT SEQUENCING OF VARIOUS TRNA SAMPLES, INCLUDING PHYSIOLOGICALLY RELEVANT ONES, AND 2) ENHANCE TECHNOLOGIES TO QUANTITATIVELY MAP TRNA MODIFICATIONS SITE-SPECIFICALLY AND TRACK THEIR DYNAMIC CHANGES WITHIN A MELANOMA MODEL. OUR REFINED TECHNIQUES, INITIALLY TAILORED FOR TRNA, HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO EXTEND TO LONGER RNAS AND SMALL NONCODING RNAS.
