Cell Response

Wang, Haiping, et al. " CD36-mediated metabolic adaptation supports regulatory T cell survival and function in tumors. " Nature Immunology (2020): 1-11.

Depleting regulatory T cells (Treg cells) to counteract immunosuppressive features of the tumor microenvironment (TME) is an attractive strategy for cancer treatment. However, systemic impairment of their suppressive function limits its therapeutic potential. Elucidating approaches that specifically disrupt intratumoral Treg cells is direly needed for cancer immunotherapy. The use of Cleanascite™ helped demonstrate that intratumoral Treg cells increase lipid metabolism and CD36 expression. The article states “cancer cell-conditioned medium … was treated with Cleanascite™ reagent (Biotech Support Group) before Treg cell culture at a volume ratio of 1:5 according to the manufacturer’s instructions.”

Chen, Rain R., et al. " Targeting of lipid metabolism with a metabolic inhibitor cocktail eradicates peritoneal metastases in ovarian cancer cells ." Communications Biology 2 (2019).

Ovarian cancer is an intra-abdominal tumor in which the presence of ascites facilitates metastatic dissemination, and is associated with poor prognosis. However, the significance of metabolic alterations in ovarian cancer cells in the ascites microenvironment remains unclear. In this study, the authors investigated whether reprogramming of lipid metabolism in ovarian cancer cells could modulate cell viability and aggressiveness. The article states: ”To determine whether fatty acids in OCM are the primary energy source, fatty acids from OCM was first removed by Cleanascite™ Lipid Removal Reagent... Then, XTT cell proliferation assays showed that the growth rate of ovarian cancer cells was remarkably reduced in cells cultured in Cleanascite ™-treated OCM (Fig. 2d). Likewise, co-treatment with Cleanascite™ and OCM significantly attenuated the increased cell migration and invasion capacities of ES-2 and SKOV3 cells (Fig. 2e, f ). These findings suggest that the fatty acid-enriched OCM provides as an energy source for supporting tumor growth and aggressiveness of ovarian cancer cells. .

Lee, Hong-Jai, et al. " Regulatory effect of humoral milieu on the viral DNA and surface antigen expression of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in vitro. " Molecular & Cellular Toxicology 15.2 (2019): 123-128.

The investigations explored if humoral milieu such as serum or culture media, and its constituents, and pH would regulate the viral DNA and surface antigen expression of HBV in vitro . Furthermore, l ipid

removal analysis showed decreased level of HBV DNA and surface antigen expression in human and mouse serum. The article states “ To evaluate the lipid exposure status within lipid bilayer, Cleanascite™ (Biotech Support Group) was added to HBV mixtures in the human serum, mouse serum, or DMEM, and the HBsAg and HBV DNA were evaluated. … we examined the virus-lipid interaction in non-host milieu, and compared the interaction between in host and non-host milieu. The levels of HBsAg and HBV DNA were significantly decreased with lipid removal by Cleanascite™ in mouse serum rather than human serum .

Sprenkle, Neil T., et al. " Endoplasmic reticulum stress is transmissible in vitro between cells of the central nervous system ." Journal of Neurochemistry.

Improper protein folding and trafficking are common pathological events in neurodegenerative diseases that result in the toxic accumulation of misfolded proteins within the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The cell extrinsic role of sustained unfolded protein response activation under physiological and pathological states in the central nervous system (CNS) remains to be elucidated. The authors studied the characteristics of a mediator secreted by ER stressed astrocytes and neurons . To determine if the mediator was a lipid associated factor, t he article states “… 100 μl of Cleanascite™ slurry was added to 1 ml of conditioned medium and incubated at RT with end-over-end mixing for 1 h followed by centrifugation.”

Cell Response & Extracellular vesicle clearance

Nguyen, Doan C., et al. " Extracellular vesicles from bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells support ex vivo survival of human antibody secreting cells ." Journal of extracellular vesicles 7.1 (2018): 1463778.

The study investigated the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in antibody secreting cell survival and IgG secretion. The article states “ To understand whether disrupting the lipid plasma membrane that upsets the integrity of the EVs would compromise the survival activity of either the non-irradiated or irradiated secretomes, …We then cultured ASC with conventional media (vehicle), secretome from irradiated MSC, or secretome from irradiated MSC that had been pretreated with the lipid-disrupting agent Cleanascite™, which is known not to alter protein functionality [ 29]. Cleanascite™-treatment of the secretome dramatically reduced ASC functional survival, … Similar reductions were also noted with the secretome of non-irradiated MSC when treated with Cleanascite™ … These results demonstrate that lipid-membrane bodies, such as EVs, could mediate important ASC survival factors within the MSC secretome.”

Decreasing glucagon action lowers blood glucose and may be useful therapeutically for diabetes. However, interrupted glucagon signaling leads to α cell proliferation. In this article, the authors wanted to determine which factors affected α cell proliferation. The article states “ For lipid removal, whole mouse serum was treated with Cleanascite™ reagent (Biotech Support Group, Monmouth Junction, NJ) prior to islet culture at a 1:1 ratio according to the vendor’s protocol. Lipid removal was validated by HPLC to remove 99% of all phopsholipids, cholesterols, and triglycerides….”.
