Here, we demonstrate that the anti-emetic/anti-psychotic prochlorperazine can be repurposed to reversibly inhibit the in vivo endocytosis of membrane proteins targeted by therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, as directly demonstrated by our human tumor ex vivo assay. Temporary endocytosis inhibition results in enhanced target availability and improved efficiency of natural killer cell-mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), a mediator of clinical responses induced by IgG1 antibodies, demonstrated here for cetuximab, trastuzumab, and avelumab. Extensive analysis of downstream signaling pathways ruled out on-target toxicities. By overcoming the heterogeneity of drug target availability that frequently characterizes poorly responsive or resistant tumors, clinical application of reversible endocytosis inhibition may considerably improve the clinical benefit of ADCC-mediating therapeutic antibodies.]]> Wed 16 Nov 2022 08:57:15 AEDT ]]> Shutting the gate: targeting endocytosis in acute leukemia https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39597 Wed 15 Jun 2022 12:54:03 AEST ]]> Actin- and dynamin-dependent maturation of bulk endocytosis restores neurotransmission following synaptic depletion https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18276 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:33:19 AEST ]]> Disruption of clathrin-mediated endocytosis through small molecule inhibition of dynamin and clathrin https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12145 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:48:47 AEST ]]> Neurokinin 1 receptor signaling in endosomes mediates sustained nociception and is a viable therapeutic target for prolonged pain relief https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34617 Wed 09 Feb 2022 15:55:15 AEDT ]]> Dynamin 2-dependent endocytosis is essential for mouse oocyte development and fertility https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45607 Wed 02 Nov 2022 14:14:14 AEDT ]]> Wiskostatin and other carbazole scaffolds as off target inhibitors of dynamin I GTPase activity and endocytosis https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50247 Tue 11 Jul 2023 14:16:11 AEST ]]> Twenty-six novel EFNB1 mutations in familial and sporadic cranlofrontonasal syndrome (CFNS) https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:644 T/R66X, was detected in one family and four sporadic patients. The majority of mutations (26/33) were located in exons 2 and 3 of the EFNB1 gene encoding the extracellular ephrin domain. The mutation spectrum includes frameshift, nonsense, missense, and splice site mutations, with a predominance of frameshift and nonsense mutations resulting in premature truncation codons. For the first time we describe mutations in exons 4 and 5 of EFNB1. Of particular interest are the frameshift mutations located in the last 25 codons of EFNI3 I encoding the carboxyterminal end of ephrin-B1. They result in an extension by 44 residues. These mutations disrupt the intracellular binding sites for Grb4 and PDZ-effector proteins involved in reverse signaling. We conclude that the major causes of familial as well as sporadic CFNS are loss of function mutations in the EFNB1 gene that comprise premature termination or abrogate receptor-ligand interaction, oligomerization, and ephrin-B1 reverse signaling.]]> Thu 25 Jul 2013 09:10:36 AEST ]]> Development of quinone analogues as dynamin GTPase inhibitors https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20908 Thu 01 Aug 2019 17:22:27 AEST ]]> F-actin-dependent endocytosis of cell wall pectins in meristematic root cells: insights from Brefeldin A-induced compartments https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1474 4)-β-D-galactan side chains of rhamnogalacturonan I were internalized into BFA compartments. In contrast, Golgi-derived secretory (esterified up to 80%) homogalacturonan pectins localized to the cytoplasm in control cells and did not accumulate within characteristic BFA compartments. Latrunculin B-mediated depolymerization of F-actin inhibited internalization and accumulation of cell wall pectins within intracellular BFA compartments. Importantly, cold treatment and protoplasting prevented internalization of wall pectins into root cells upon BFA treatment. These observations suggest that cell wall pectins of meristematic maize root cells undergo rapid endocytosis in an F-actin-dependent manner.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:28:12 AEDT ]]> Small molecule inhibitors of dynamin I GTPase activity: development of dimeric tyrphostins https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:2267 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:26:55 AEDT ]]> Development of 1,8-naphthalimides as clathrin inhibitors https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21428 50 ≈ 18 μM).

Dyngo-4a also interfered with BoNT/A-Hc internalization into motor nerve terminals. Furthermore, Dyngo-4a afforded protection against BoNT/A-induced paralysis at the rat hemidiaphragm. A significant delay of >30% in the onset of botulism was observed in mice injected with Dyngo-4a. Dynamin inhibition therefore provides a therapeutic avenue for the treatment of botulism and other diseases caused by pathogens sharing dynamin-dependent uptake mechanisms.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:01:38 AEDT ]]> Targeting membrane trafficking in infection prophylaxis: dynamin inhibitors https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20084 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:00:05 AEDT ]]> Cell wall pectins and xyloglucans are internalized into dividing root cells and accumulate within cell plates during cytokinesis https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:42:13 AEDT ]]> 5-Aryl-2-(naphtha-1-yl)sulfonamido-thiazol-4(5H)-ones as clathrin inhibitors https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28474 in silico docking studies.
