Detection of NOX/DUOX proteins at the protein level remains an important challenge in the field. Here we report the development and characterization of a novel anti-NOX5 monoclonal antibody, which recognizes the human NOX5 protein in both Western blot, immunocytochemistry, and histochemistry applications. With the help of the antibody we could successfully detect both heterologously and endogenously expressed NOX5 in mammalian cells. Furthermore, we could also detect NOX5 protein in the human spleen, testis, and ovary. Immunohistochemical studies on human testis revealed that NOX5 localized to spermatogenic cells. This expression pattern was also supported by the result of in silico analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing data that indicated that NOX5 protein is present in developing spermatids and spermatocytes. Mature spermatozoa, however, did not contain detectable NOX5. In the human ovary, both immunostaining and single-cell RNA sequencing suggest that NOX5 is expressed in interstitial fibroblasts and theca cells. We also analyzed vascular cells for the presence of NOX5 and we found that NOX5 expression is a fairly specific feature of splenic endothelial cells.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {2045-2322}, orcid-numbers = {Petheő, Gábor L./0000-0002-1773-4129; Szikora, Bence/0000-0002-0766-5684; Kacskovics, Imre/0000-0002-0402-3862} } @article{MTMT:33893006, title = {Liquid biopsy-based monitoring of residual disease in multiple myeloma by analysis of the rearranged immunoglobulin genes–A feasibility study}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33893006}, author = {Marx, Anita and Osváth, Magdolna and Szikora, Bence and Pipek, Orsolya Anna and Csabai, István and Nagy, Ákos and Bödör, Csaba and Matula, Zsolt and Nagy, Ginette and Bors, András and Uher, Ferenc and Mikala, Gábor and Vályi-Nagy, István and Kacskovics, Imre}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0285696}, journal-iso = {PLOS ONE}, journal = {PLOS ONE}, volume = {18}, unique-id = {33893006}, issn = {1932-6203}, abstract = {The need for sensitive monitoring of minimal/measurable residual disease (MRD) in multiple myeloma emerged as novel therapies led to deeper responses. Moreover, the potential benefits of blood-based analyses, the so-called liquid biopsy is prompting more and more studies to assess its feasibility. Considering these recent demands, we aimed to optimize a highly sensitive molecular system based on the rearranged immunoglobulin (Ig) genes to monitor MRD from peripheral blood. We analyzed a small group of myeloma patients with the high-risk t(4;14) translocation, using next-generation sequencing of Ig genes and droplet digital PCR of patient-specific Ig heavy chain (IgH) sequences. Moreover, well established monitoring methods such as multiparametric flow cytometry and RT-qPCR of the fusion transcript IgH :: MMSET (IgH and multiple myeloma SET domain-containing protein) were utilized to evaluate the feasibility of these novel molecular tools. Serum measurements of M-protein and free light chains together with the clinical assessment by the treating physician served as routine clinical data. We found significant correlation between our molecular data and clinical parameters, using Spearman correlations. While the comparisons of the Ig-based methods and the other monitoring methods (flow cytometry, qPCR) were not statistically evaluable, we found common trends in their target detection. Regarding longitudinal disease monitoring, the applied methods yielded complementary information thus increasing the reliability of MRD evaluation. We also detected indications of early relapse before clinical signs, although this implication needs further verification in a larger patient cohort.}, keywords = {multiple myeloma; liquid biopsy; circulating tumor DNA; next-generation sequencing (NGS); Circulating tumor cells; minimal residual disease (MRD); Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR); immunoglobulin genes}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1932-6203}, orcid-numbers = {Marx, Anita/0000-0001-8969-5766; Szikora, Bence/0000-0002-0766-5684; Pipek, Orsolya Anna/0000-0001-8109-0340; Csabai, István/0000-0001-9232-9898; Bödör, Csaba/0000-0002-0729-692X; Bors, András/0000-0003-2109-4678; Uher, Ferenc/0000-0001-7997-6142; Kacskovics, Imre/0000-0002-0402-3862} } @article{MTMT:32918558, title = {Measuring peroxidasin activity in live cells using bromide addition for signal amplification}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32918558}, author = {Pape, Veronika and Kovács, Hajnal Anna and Szatmári, István and Ugrai, Imre and Szikora, Bence and Kacskovics, Imre and May, Zoltán and Szoboszlai, Norbert and Sirokmány, Gábor and Geiszt, Miklós}, doi = {10.1016/j.redox.2022.102385}, journal-iso = {REDOX BIOL}, journal = {REDOX BIOLOGY}, volume = {54}, unique-id = {32918558}, issn = {2213-2317}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2213-2317}, orcid-numbers = {Pape, Veronika/0000-0001-6589-6950; Kovács, Hajnal Anna/0000-0001-7928-7531; Szatmári, István/0000-0002-8571-5229; Szikora, Bence/0000-0002-0766-5684; Kacskovics, Imre/0000-0002-0402-3862; Szoboszlai, Norbert/0000-0002-3991-3996; Sirokmány, Gábor/0000-0002-9473-2434} } @article{MTMT:32369543, title = {Monoklonális antitestek és egyéb biológiai terápiák a COVID–19 kezelésére}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32369543}, author = {Kacskovics, Imre}, doi = {10.1556/112.2021.00047}, journal-iso = {SCI SEC}, journal = {SCIENTIA ET SECURITAS}, volume = {2}, unique-id = {32369543}, abstract = {A SARS-CoV-2 koronavírus által kiváltott pandémia az elmúlt mintegy 100 év legsúlyosabb közegészségügyi, gazda-sági és társadalmi válságát okozza.

Több COVID–19 kezelésére kifejlesztett gyógyszerhatóanyagot is sikerrel tesztelnek, közülük is kiemelkednek a monoklonális antitestek, illetve más biológiai terápiák. Ezek egyfelől olyan gyógyszerek, amelyek a betegség korai fázisában semlegesítik a vírust, azaz megakadályozzák, hogy a sejteket megfertőzze, míg mások a már kialakult súlyos megbetegedésben csökkenthetik a gyulladás mértékét.

Ökológiai okok miatt egyre nő az állati eredetű kórokozók adaptálódása az emberhez, de nem zárhatók ki az ún. laborszökevény vírusok, sőt a bioterrorizmus veszélye sem.
