Slide 3: The Cell Cycle & Alzheimer's Disease
THE CELL CYCLE & ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
Slide 4: Cell Cycle Regulation & Alzheimer's
C ell C ycle R egulation & Alzheimer’s • Cell Cycle: brain lacks all machinery • Cell Cycle Response to life and aging: triggered to re - enter the cell cycle • Hypothesis: AD patients lack proper cell cycle regulatory machinery, leading to aberrant processing (healthy normal get kicked out of cycle
Slide 5: How to Assess CCR in Neurons
How to Assess CCR in Neurons 1. Strategy: measure the cellular regulatory machinery in mononuclear cells purified from whole blood (peripheral blood lymphocytes or PBLs) as a surrogate for the cellular regulatory machinery in the brain 2. Collect whole blood from a subject and purify the lymphocytes
Slide 6: Clinical Utility of Cell Cycle Dysregulation
Clinical Utility of Cell Cycle Dysregulation Pioneering work from U. Leipzig *: • Dr. Thomas Arendt • Dr. Jan Steiler Lymphocytes also show cell cycle dysregulation in AD patients Lym phocyte Pro liferation Test ( LymPro Test®) for Alzheimer’s disease is based on this pioneering work Result: App
Slide 7: Replication of LymPro Findings in 2012
Replication of LymPro Findings in 2012 Steiler et al 2012 * Figure 1 . “Box - and - Whiskers Plot of self - normalized CD69 expression of B cells (CD19) in response to PWM mitogenic stimulation. Response to mitogenic stimulation was suppressed in AD subjects compared with either [Parkinson’s disease
Slide 8: Further evidence in support of CCR: lymphocyte response to Rapamycin
Further evidence in support of CCR: lymphocyte response to Rapamycin Tx Statistical analysis of the cell cycle distributions of lymphocytes from mild - AD, severe - AD and non - AD subjects . ** p< 0 . 01 vs non - AD cells . Amarantus - NIO Sept. 2013 8 Link to mTOR pathways?
Slide 9: Patient Selection * CDx in AD Trials
Patient Selection * CDx in AD Trials LymPro is being developed by Amarantus to identify which cognitively impaired (prodromal, MCI) patients will advance to dementia of the AD type • Distinguishing “progressors” from “non - progressors” is highly valuable as that is believed to be the best patient -
Slide 10: Amarantus' LymPro Development Plan
Amarantus’ LymPro Development Plan • Licensed LymPro from Provista Life Sciences in December 2012 • Becton Dickinson (BD) Biosciences in serving as the GLP Reference Lab for the assay development and clinical trials • DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO FDA APPROVAL – Q3/2013 – Complete Feasibility Studies to estab
