Pendolino : ohranjanje, vrednotenje, karakterizacija in zbiranje genskih virov oljkMilena Bučar-Miklavčič, Viljanka Vesel, Dunja Bandelj, Bojan Butinar, Erika Bešter, Jakob Fantinič, Katja Fičur, Teja Hladnik, Gašper Kozlovič, Vasilij Valenčič, Saša Volk, Alenka Baruca Arbeiter, Maja Podgornik, 2022, dictionary, encyclopaedia, lexicon, manual, atlas, map Abstract: Sorta ˈPendolinoˈ je dober opraševalec sorte ‘Leccino’ in ‘Frantoio’. Sama je avtosterilna in za dobro oploditev potrebuje opraševalca ('Leccino', 'Moraiolo', 'Frantoio'). Drevo je močne rasti z izrazito povešajočimi tanjšimi rodnimi vejami in ozkimi ozkimi listi. V novejših nasadih se je izkazala kot sorta, ki zgodaj stopi v rodnost. Plodovi se zgodaj obarvajo v črno in dozorevajo v istem času kot 'Leccino’. Rodnost je dobra in redna, po vsebnosti olja pa je nekoliko nižja od sorte ’Leccino’. Olje ima srednjo vsebnost tokoferolov in biofenolov. Sorta je malo občutljiva za pavje oko in sajavost, odporna pa na napade oljčne muhe in oljčnega molja. Nizke temperature sorazmerno dobro prenaša.

Zanjo je značilna počasna rast, krošnja pa je bolj pokončna in redka. To je sorta, ki zgodaj stopi v rodnost. Zaradi avtosterilnosti potrebuje za oploditev opraševalce. Dobri opraševalci naj bi bili 'Frantoio', 'Casaliva', 'Pendolino' in 'Leccino'. Rodnost je slabša do srednja, a konstantna. Plodovi se zgodaj začenjajo barvati, vendar neenakomerno. Vsebnost biofenolov v olju je srednja, tokoferolov pa nizka do srednja. Sorta je neobčutljiva na nizke temperature, pavje oko in oljčnega raka, občutljiva pa na napad oljčne muhe.

Drevo je bujne rasti, mladi poganjki so dolgi in povešeni. Dozorevanje plodov je postopno in traja dalj časa. Plodovi vsebujejo več olja od sorte Leccino, olje pa ima visoko vsebnost oleinske kisline, nizko vsebnost tokoferolov in visoko vsebnost biofenolov. Na pavje oko občutljiva, na in oljčno muho je pa malosrednje občutljiva , slabše pa prenaša nizke temperature, vendar se hitro obnavlja. Znana je njena velika občutljivost na oljčnega raka, ki je pogost spremljevalec te sorte. Zelo dobro prenaša Verticillium dahliae - verticilijsko uvelost.

196. Combination of pembrolizumab with electrochemotherapy in cutaneous metastases from melanoma : a comparative retrospective study from the InspECT and Slovenian Cancer RegistryLuca Giovanni Campana, Barbara Perić, Matteo Mascherini, Romina Spina, Christian Kunte, Erika Kis, Petra Rozsa, Pietro Quaglino, Maja Čemažar, Maša Omerzel, Gregor Serša, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: Electrochemotherapy (ECT) is an effective locoregional therapy for cutaneous melanoma metastases and has been safely combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors in preliminary experiences. Since ECT is known to induce immunogenic cell death, its combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors might be beneficial. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of ECT on cutaneous melanoma metastases in combination with pembrolizumab. We undertook a retrospective matched cohort analysis of stage IIIC%IV melanoma patients, included in the International Network for sharing practices of ECT (InspECT) and the Slovenian Cancer Registry. We compared the outcome of patients who received the following treatments: (a) pembrolizumab alone, (b) pembrolizumab plus ECT, and (c) ECT. The groups were matched for age, sex, performance status, and size of skin metastases. The local objective response rate (ORR) was higher in the pembrolizumab-ECT group than in the pembrolizumab group (78% and 39%, p < 0.001). The 1 year local progression-free survival (LPFS) rates were 86% and 51% (p < 0.001), and the 1 year systemic PFS rates were 64% and 39%, respectively (p = 0.034). The 1 year overall survival (OS) rates were 88% and 64%, respectively (p = 0.006). Our results suggest that skin-directed therapy with ECT improves superficial tumor control in melanoma patients treated with pembrolizumab. Interestingly, we observed longer PFS and OS in the pembrolizumab-ECT group than in the pembrolizumab group. These findings warrant prospective confirmation.

197. Gene electrotransfer of IL-2 and IL-12 plasmids effectively eradicated murine B16.F10 melanomaTilen Komel, Maša Omerzel, Simona Kranjc Brezar, Mariangela De Robertis, M. Mastrodonato, G. Scillitani, G. Pesole, Emanuella Signori, Gregor Serša, Maja Čemažar, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: Gene therapy has become an important approach for treating cancer, and electroporation represents a technology for introducing therapeutic genes into a cell. An example of cancer gene therapy relying on gene electrotransfer is the use of immunomodulatory cytokines, such as interleukin 2 (IL-2) and 12 (IL-12), which directly stimulate immune cells at the tumour site. The aim of our study was to determine the effects of gene electrotransfer with two plasmids encoding IL-2 and IL-12 in vitro and in vivo. Two different pulse protocols, known as EP1 (600 V/cm, 5 ms, 1 Hz, 8 pulses) and EP2 (1300 V/cm, 100 %s, 1 Hz, 8 pulses), were assessed in vitro for application in subsequent in vivo experiments. In the in vivo experiment, gene electrotransfer of pIL-2 and pIL-12 using the EP1 protocol was performed in B16.F10 murine melanoma. Combined treatment of tumours using pIL2 and pIL12 induced significant tumour growth delay and 71% complete tumour regression. Furthermore, in tumours coexpressing IL-2 and IL-12, increased accumulation of dendritic cells and M1 macrophages was obtained along with the activation of proinflammatory signals, resulting in CD4 + and CD8 + T-lymphocyte recruitment and immune memory development in the mice. In conclusion, we demonstrated high antitumour efficacy of combined IL-2 and IL-12 gene electrotransfer protocols in low-immunogenicity murine B16.F10 melanoma.

198. Biological factors of the tumour response to electrochemotherapy : review of the evidence and a research roadmapGregor Serša, Katja Uršič Valentinuzzi, Maja Čemažar, Richard Heller, Maša Omerzel, Luca Giovanni Campana, 2021, review article Abstract: The beneficial effects of electrochemotherapy (ECT) for superficial tumours and, more recently, deepseated malignancies in terms of local control and quality of life are widely accepted. However, the variability in responses across histotypes needs to be explored. Currently, patient selection for ECT is based on clinical factors (tumour size, histotype, and exposure to previous oncological treatments), whereas there are no biomarkers to predict the response to treatment. In this field, two major areas of investigation can be identified, i.e., tumour cell characteristics and the tumour microenvironment (vasculature, extracellular matrix, and immune infiltrate). For each of these areas, we describe the current knowledge and discuss how to foster further investigation. This review aims to provide a summary of the currently used guiding clinical factors and delineates a research roadmap for future studies to identify putative biomarkers of response to ECT. These biomarkers may allow researchers to improve ECT practice by customising treatment parameters, manipulating the tumour and its microenvironment, and exploring novel therapeutic combinations.

200. Maintenance and gene electrotransfer efficiency of antibiotic resistance gene-free plasmids encoding mouse, canine and human interleukin-12 orthologuesUrška Kamenšek, Andrej Renčelj, Tanja Jesenko, Tinkara Remic, Gregor Serša, Maja Čemažar, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: Interleukin 12 (IL-12) is a cytokine used as a therapeutic molecule in cancer immunotherapy. Gene electrotransfer mediated delivery of IL-12 gene has reached clinical evaluation in the USA using a plasmid that in addition to IL- 12 gene also carry an antibiotic resistance gene needed for its production in bacteria. In Europe however, Eu- ropean Medicines Agency recommends against the use of antibiotics during the production of clinical grade plasmids. We have prepared several antibiotic resistance gene-free plasmids using an antibiotic-free selection strategy called operator-repressor titration, including plasmids encoding mouse, canine and human IL-12 orthologues. The aim of this study was to evaluate the maintenance of these plasmids in bacterial culture and test their transfection efficiency using gene electrotransfer. Plasmid maintenance was evaluated by determining plasmid yields and topologies after subculturing transformed bacteria. Transfection efficiency was evaluated by determining the plasmid copy number, expression and cytotoxicity after gene electrotransfer to mouse, canine and human melanoma cells. The results demonstrated that our IL-12 plasmids without an antibiotic resistance gene are stably maintained in bacteria and provide sufficient IL-12 expression after in vitro gene electrotransfer; therefore, they have the potential to proceed to further in vivo evaluation studies.
