Musculocontractural Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (mcEDS) due to CHST14/D4ST1 deficiency (mcEDS-CHST14) is a recently delineated type of EDS caused by biallelic loss-of-function mutations in CHST14, which results in the depletion of dermatan sulfate (DS). Clinical characteristics of mcEDS-CHST14 consist of multiple malformations and progressive fragility-related manifestations, including skin hyperextensibility and fragility. Skin fragility is suspected to result from the impaired assembly of collagen fibrils caused by alteration of the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chain of decorin-proteoglycan (PG) from DS to chondroitin sulfate (CS). This systematic investigation of the skin pathology of patients with mcEDS-CHST14 comprised both immunostaining of decorin and transmission electron microscopy-based cupromeronic blue staining to visualize GAG chains. Collagen fibrils were dispersed in the affected papillary to reticular dermis; in contrast, they were regularly and tightly assembled in controls. Moreover, the fibrils exhibited a perpendicular arrangement to the affected epidermis, whereas fibrils were parallel to control epidermis. Affected GAG chains were linear, stretching from the outer surface of collagen fibrils to adjacent fibrils; in contrast, those of controls were curved, maintaining close contact with attached collagen fibrils. This is the first observation of compositional alteration, from DS to CS, of GAG side chains, which caused structural alteration of GAG side chains and resulted in spatial disorganization of collagen networks; this presumably disrupted the ring-mesh structure of GAG side chains surrounding collagen fibrils. McEDS-CHST14 provides a critical example of the importance of DS in GAG side chains of decorin-PG during assembly of collagen fibrils in maintenance of connective tissues. 相似文献

Continuous production of monoclonal antibodies is gaining more and more importance. To ensure continuous flow through the entire process as well as viral safety, continuous viral clearance needs to be investigated as well. This study focuses on low pH viral inactivation inside a coiled flow inverter (CFI). Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation is used to gain further insight into the inactivation process inside the apparatus. The influence of viruses in comparison to different tracer elements on the residence time distribution (RTD) behavior is investigated. Finally, the viral inactivation kinetics are implemented into the CFD simulation and real process conditions are simulated. These are compared to experimental results. To the authors' knowledge, this study represents the first successful simulation of continuous viral inactivation inside a CFI. It allows the detailed analysis of processes inside the apparatus and the prediction of experimental virus study results and will therefore contribute to the effective planning of future validation studies. 相似文献

The continuous production of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with the help of disposable equipment poses one of the future major changes in the pharmaceutical industry. Consequently, continuous viral clearance needs to be developed as well. The coiled flow inverter (CFI) was successfully implemented in the continuous downstream as a residence time module for low pH viral inactivation. As the elution profile of the upstream continuously operated protein A chromatography results in fluctuating pH values, the pH level distribution inside the CFI is highly relevant. This study presents a detailed investigation of pH level distribution inside the CFI at varying inlet conditions with the help of computational fluid dynamics simulation. The simulation model was validated first with the help of experimental data. Afterwards, the model was used for further investigations. It was determined that with a pH sine curve as input, the duration until steady state at the outlet requires two times the minimum residence time of the apparatus. Moreover, it could be observed that the CFI itself offers a progressive dampening effect on the pH level distribution. Afterwards, different forms of the sine curve representing different operation modes of the continuous protein A chromatograph were tested to evaluate this dampening capability. It became clear that the switch time has the highest influence on the resulting pH of the outlet stream and should be considered for process development. Finally, the radial pH profiles at different positions inside the CFI were determined. This once again revealed the high radial mixing capability of the CFI and its influence on the resulting product stream. 相似文献
