Aurora kinase B is required for growth and expansion of medulloblastoma cells in the tissue context

The impact of the tissue context on tumor growth and drug response in medulloblastoma (MB) is poorly understood. To gain insights into the growth and dissemination behavior of the MB tumor cells under treatment, we combined three-dimensional cell culture s ...

Preclinical spheroid models identify BMX as a therapeutic target for metastatic MYCN nonamplified neuroblastoma

Gerardo Turcatti, Fabien Kuttler

The development of targeted therapies offers new hope for patients affected by incurable cancer. However, multiple challenges persist, notably in controlling tumor cell plasticity in patients with refractory and metastatic illness. Neuroblastoma (NB) is an ...

Fluorescent fatty acid conjugates for live cell imaging of peroxisomes

Luc Reymond, Fabien Kuttler, Milena Maria Schuhmacher, Manon Sandra Bardyn, Daria Korotkova, Triana Amen

Peroxisomes are eukaryotic organelles that are essential for multiple metabolic pathways, including fatty acid oxidation, degradation of amino acids, and biosynthesis of ether lipids. Consequently, peroxisome dysfunction leads to pediatric-onset neurodegen ...

Translational screening platform to evaluate chemotherapy in combination with focal therapy for retinoblastoma

Paul Joseph Dyson, Valentin Simeonov, Fabien Kuttler, Irina Sinenko, Patrik Aouad

Retinoblastoma is the most common pediatric eye cancer. It is currently treated with a limited number of drugs, adapted from other pediatric cancer treatments. Drug toxicity and relapse of the disease warrant new therapeutic strategies for these young pati ...

High-content, arrayed compound screens with rhinovirus, influenza A virus and herpes simplex virus infections

Gerardo Turcatti, Fabien Kuttler

Viruses are genetically and structurally diverse, and outnumber cells by orders of magnitude. They can cause acute and chronic infections, suppress, or exacerbate immunity, or dysregulate survival and growth of cells. To identify chemical agents with pro- ...

Identification of broad anti-coronavirus chemical agents for repurposing against SARS-CoV-2 and variants of concern

Gerardo Turcatti, Fabien Kuttler, Michael Bauer, Liliane Yang

Endemic human coronaviruses (hCoVs) 229E and OC43 cause respiratory disease with recurrent infections, while severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2 spreads across the world with impact on health and societies. Here, we report an image-based multicy ...

Identification of New Vulnerabilities in Conjunctival Melanoma Using Image-Based High Content Drug Screening

Gerardo Turcatti, Fabien Kuttler

Simple Summary We determined the sensitivity of several conjunctival melanoma cell lines to kinase inhibitors as well as a few other inhibitors using an image-based high throughput drug screening assay with 542 compounds. All cell lines demonstrated sensit ...

The FDA-Approved Drug Nelfinavir Inhibits Lytic Cell-Free but Not Cell-Associated Nonlytic Transmission of Human Adenovirus

Gerardo Turcatti, Fabien Kuttler

Adenoviruses (AdVs) are prevalent and give rise to chronic and re-current disease. Human AdV (HAdV) species B and C, such as HAdV-C2, -C5, and-B14, cause respiratory disease and constitute a health threat for immunocom-promised individuals. HAdV-Cs are wel ...

Marker-Free Automatic Quantification of Drug-Treated Cardiomyocytes with Digital Holographic Imaging

Gerardo Turcatti, Benjamin Rappaz, Fabien Kuttler, Bokyoung Kim, Pierre Marquet

We use quantitative phase digital holographic microscopy (QP-DHM) to image and quantify the beating movement of cardiomyocytes, derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), in control and drug-treated conditions. The development of an analysis algo ...
