We can see that greenwashing can be perceived and accused by the observer in several different ways. From product-level claims with environmental labeling to firm-level nature-evoked executional elements in sustainability reports, the phenomenon may be classified in a complex variety of options.
To confirm amyloidosis, the demonstration of amyloid deposits via tissue biopsy is essential. Deposition of amyloid in the tissue can be demonstrated by Congo red staining of biopsy specimens [51]. With Congo red staining, amyloid deposits show a characteristic green birefringence under polarized light. Tissues suitable for biopsy include subcutaneous fatty tissue of the abdominal wall, kidney, skin, gastric, or rectal mucosa; sural nerve tissue; retinaculum and peritendinous fat obtained at carpal tunnel surgery; and tissue from the salivary gland. The sensitivity of endoscopic biopsy of the gastrointestinal mucosa is approximately 85%, whereas biopsy of the sural nerve is less sensitive because amyloid deposition is often sporadic and random [52]. TTR immunolabeling of the amyloid deposits can identify the disease as TTR amyloidosis but cannot distinguish wild-type from hereditary forms. In patients with typical signs and symptoms of TTR amyloidosis, negative biopsy results should not be interpreted as excluding the disease.
Cardiac risks and complications constitute major adverse events in patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplant for TTR-FAP. Cardiovascular complications account for about 39% of deaths following liver transplant, almost half of which occur within the first 3 months [57, 63]. Moreover, cardiac disease may progress even after successful liver transplant, especially in patients with mutations other than Val30Met, due to the deposition of wild-type TTR fibrils on preexisting amyloid matrix. In highly selected patients these considerations may provide a rationale for the extremely challenging procedure of combined heart and liver transplant [60]. The main indication for this procedure is severe heart failure due to amyloidotic cardiomyopathy in a patient without advanced neurologic involvement. It has also been proposed as a therapeutic option for patients affected by mutations other than Val30Met who are candidates for liver transplant and who have an echocardiographic diagnosis of cardiomyopathy even in the absence of major cardiovascular symptoms [41, 60].
The combined use of doxycycline, an antibiotic that disrupts TTR amyloid fibril formation, and TUDCA, a drug used in patients with liver disorders that can reduce nonfibrillar TTR deposition, has demonstrated a synergistic effect on lowering TTR deposits in mouse models of TTR-FAP [67]. A phase 2 open-label trial evaluating the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Doxy-TUDCA is ongoing [68].
Tafamidis appeared to be safe and well tolerated; treatment-related adverse events included diarrhea, upper abdominal pain, urinary tract infection, and vaginal infection. An open-label extension study (n = 86) was conducted to evaluate long-term safety and efficacy [89]. Slowing of disease progression was observed in patients treated for either 30 or 18 months with tafamidis (i.e. the tafamidis-tafamidis and placebo-tafamidis cohorts, respectively), although earlier initiation of treatment was associated with better outcomes, including less neurologic deterioration and preserved nutritional status and QOL. No new safety concerns (as compared with the pivotal study) were observed over 30 months, and no patients discontinued treatment due to adverse events.
Two additional phase 2, open-label safety and efficacy studies of oral tafamidis 20 mg once daily in patients with non-Val30Met TTR amyloidosis have been completed, with results expected to be published in late 2012. In the polyneuropathy study, 21 patients with non-Val30Met TTR-FAP received tafamidis for 12 months, with TTR stabilization at week 6 compared with baseline as the primary outcome measure. Secondary outcome measures included the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events and change from baseline in NIS and NIS-LL, nerve conduction studies, mBMI, TQOL, and NT-proBNP and troponin I cardiac biomarkers. Data suggest that non-Val30Met patients treated with tafamidis experience slower neurologic progression (NIS-LL) and sustained quality of life (TQOL) and nutritional status (mBMI) as compared with the placebo-treated Val30Met patients in the pivotal trial [90]. In the infiltrative cardiomyopathy study, 35 patients with wild-type or Val122Ile TTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy also received tafamidis once daily for 12 months, with TTR stabilization at week 6 compared with baseline as the primary end point, and secondary outcome measures, including incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events and change from baseline in echocardiography, cardiac MRI, chest x-ray, and Holter monitoring parameters, NT-proBNP, troponin I and T cardiac biomarkers, 6-minute walk test (6MWT), and health-related QOL measures. Compared with non-randomized, historical controls, patients receiving tafamidis treatment experienced smaller changes from baseline in NT-proBNP and 6MWT measures and a lower incidence of cardiovascular hospitalization/death at 12 months, although the differences were statistically insignificant [91]. Although patients in both studies were older and more severely affected compared with the Val30Met patients in the blinded study, tafamidis was effective in achieving and maintaining TTR tetramer stabilization, and no new safety concerns related to drug therapy were observed.
A phase 2/3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multinational clinical trial is currently under way evaluating the use of diflunisal 250 mg twice daily for preventing the progression of lower-limb nerve damage in patients with TTR-FAP. The primary end point is the Neurologic Impairment Score+7 (NIS+7) measured at 12 and 24 months. Secondary end points include the Kumamoto neurologic scale score, echocardiographic signs of cardiomyopathy, mBMI, amyloid deposition, and QOL. The study is scheduled to be completed at the end of 2012, with results announced in early 2013. Preliminary data indicate that diflunisal is well tolerated in the study population. An open-label extension study based in Sweden to observe the long-term effects (over the course of about 2 years) of diflunisal on neurologic and cardiac deterioration and nutritional status is currently recruiting patients. An open-label study in a single center in Japan (Shinshu University) reported significant stabilization of disease course [92].
A phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-dose escalation study of ALN-TTR01 in up to 36 patients with TTR amyloidosis is near completion with results expected later in 2012. Preliminary results from a phase 1 trial of ALN-TTR02 indicate an up to 94% reduction of serum TTR levels and nearly 80% suppression after one month following a single dose, which was safe and well tolerated. An open-label phase 2 trial is currently underway.
A 12-month, phase 2, open-label study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, safety, and tolerability of combined doxycycline/TUDCA treatment for TTR amyloidosis is ongoing. Twenty patients with both variant and wild-type TTR were enrolled, including three who had undergone liver transplants 8 to 15 years before initiation of the study. The primary end point was response rate to treatment (non-progression of neuropathy or cardiomyopathy), with responders defined as patients with mBMI reductions of
This analysis detected hundreds of genes specifically up-regulated during duct morphogenesis. Gene ontology and pathway analysis revealed enrichment for developmental pathways associated with cell adhesion, cell migration and proliferation, ERK and WNT signaling, and, interestingly, axonal guidance. The latter included factors linked to neuronal cell migration or axonal outgrowth, such as Ephrin B2, netrin receptor, SLIT1 and class A semaphorins. A number of transcriptional modules were identified that centred around key hub genes specifying matrix-associated signaling factors; SPOCK1, HTRA3 and ADGRD1. Several novel regulators of the WNT and TFG-β signaling pathway were identified in Müllerian ducts, including APCDD1 and DKK1, BMP3 and TGFBI. A number of novel transcription factors were also identified, including OSR1, FOXE1, PRICKLE1, TSHZ3 and SMARCA2. In addition, over 100 long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were expressed during duct formation.
The RT-PCR results showed differential gene expression in E5.5 and E6.5 Müllerian ducts. Whole-mount in situ hybridization (WISH) analysis of the candidate genes was performed on embryonic chicken Müllerian duct at day 6.0 of incubation (stage 28), the mid-point between E5.5 and E6.5. Following whole mount staining, urogenital systems were sectioned and examined for expression within the tissue. All of the top differentially expressed genes in the RNA-seq datasets were validated by whole mount in situ hybridization (Fig. 6). The cell adhesion or matrix genes, COL1A2, POSTN, TFGBI, were all strongly expressed in developing ducts, and also in parts of the interstitium between the paired mesonephric kidneys. POSTN and COL1A2 were expressed in the Müllerian duct mesenchyme (MDM), while TFGBI mRNA localised to the inner Müllerian duct epithelium (MDE) (Fig. 6a, b and c). Among the novel highly expressed transcription factor or chromatin modifier genes identified during duct development, SMARCA2, FOXE1 and OSR1 were all expressed in the duct mesenchyme (Fig. 6d, e and f). SMARCA2 showed stronger expression at the two poles of the duct (Fig. 6). PRICKLE mRNA was confined to the Müllerian duct epithelium (Fig. 6g), while RUNX1 was strongly expressed in the epithelium, but also expressed in the mesenchyme (Fig. 6h). 2ff7e9595c
