Among these, <em>Klebsiella pneumoniae</em> reveals high genome plasticity, adaptability, and the ability to colonize humans, animals, and the natural environment, awarding it a significant role in the spread of AR. This work presents an in-depth analysis of the whole sequences of 149 <em>K. pneumoniae</em> genomes isolated from surface waters available in databases. The sequences were obtained from 20 countries in five continents. The analyses showed a high genomic diversity of isolates, classifying them into 94 unique sequence types. The isolates carried numerous virulence and drug resistance determinants in their genomes, including genes for carbapenem and colistin resistance. The critical resistance genes were located on plasmids, indicating their high mobility and ease of access in water environments. Sublineage 258 members, in particular ST11, have been identified as important carriers of both important drug resistance determinants and key virulence factors, thus posing a substantial threat to human health. Our analysis revealed the direct transmission of drug-resistant and virulent clinical strains to the natural environment, highlighting the role of <em>K. pneumoniae</em> in the dissemination of drug resistance within the \"One Health\" framework. Surface waters represent an environment conducive to the spread and evolution of drug resistance, and <em>K. pneumoniae</em> plays a significant role in this process by providing clinically-significant antibiotic resistance genes to environmental recipients.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51022,"journal":{"name":"Drug Resistance Updates","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 101204"},"PeriodicalIF":15.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143030248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 resistance drug screen, we identified and validated the master osmostress regulator WNK1 kinase as a modulator of the response to the mitotic inhibitor rigosertib. Osmotic stress and WNK1 inactivation lead to an altered response not only to rigosertib treatment but also to other microtubule-related drugs, minimizing the prototypical mitotic arrest produced by these compounds. This effect is due to an alteration in microtubule stability and polymerization dynamics, likely maintained by fluctuations in intracellular molecular crowding upon WNK1 inactivation. This promotes resistance to microtubule depolymerizing compounds, and increased sensitivity to microtubule stabilizing drugs. In summary, our data proposes WNK1 osmoregulation activity as an important modulator for microtubule-associated chemotherapy response.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51022,"journal":{"name":"Drug Resistance Updates","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 101203"},"PeriodicalIF":15.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143035184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we investigated the pathological landscape of treatment resistance and relapse in 16 CR-AML patients by monitoring cytogenetic, RNAseq, and genome-wide changes among newly diagnosed, refractory, and relapsed AML. First, in FISH-diagnosed KMT2A (MLL gene, 11q23)/AFDN (AF6, 6q27)-rearrangement, RNA-sequencing identified an unknown CCDC32 (15q15.1)/CBX3 (7p15.2) gene fusion in both newly diagnosed and relapsed samples, which is previously unknown in KMT2A/AFDN-rearranged AML patients. Second, the unreported CCDC32/CBX3 gene fusion significantly affected the expression of wild-type genes of both CCDC32 (essential for embryonic development) and CBX3 (an oncogene for solid tumors) during the relapse, as demonstrated by Quantitative PCR analyses. Third, we further confirmed the existence of triple biomarkers - KMT2A/AFDN (AF6, 6q27) rearrangement, the unknown CCDC32 (15q15.1)/CBX3 (7p15.2) gene fusion and chimeric RNA variants (treatment-resistant leukemic blasts harboring distinct breakpoints) in a 21-year-old male patient of rapid relapsed/refractory AML. Most intriguingly, in this work regarding 16 patients, patients 7 and 20 initially showed the KMT2A/AFDN gene fusion; upon relapse, patient 20 did not show this fusion. On the other hand, patient 7 retained the KMT2A/AFDN fusion at diagnosis and during the relapse, only identified by PCR and Sanger's Sequencing, not by cytogenetics. Interestingly, the chimeric CCDC32/CBX3 gene fusion persisted in the 21-year-old male patient over the diagnostic and relapse phases. Most intriguingly, the overexpression of CCDC32/CBX3 fusion gene in AML patient-specific MV4-11 cells confirms the functional validation, providing experimental evidence of the biological impact of the CCDC32/CBX3 fusion on AML pathogenesis and treatment resistance by promoting cell cycle progression, a mechanism through which AML evolves to become treatment-resistant. All these might exhort differential resistance to treatment. Thus, we found that prognostic and predictive triple biomarkers - KRAS mutated, dual fusions (KMT2A/AFDN, CCDC32/CBX3), and chimeric variants - might evolve with a potential oncogenic role of subclonal evolution for poor clinical outcomes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51022,"journal":{"name":"Drug Resistance Updates","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 101199"},"PeriodicalIF":15.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142990322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
