CoREST Complex Inhibition Alters RNA Splicing to Promote Neoantigen Expression and Enhance Tumor Immunity.

Unlabelled: Epigenetic complexes tightly regulate gene expression and colocalize with RNA splicing machinery; however, the consequences of these interactions are uncertain. Here, we identify unique interactions of the CoREST repressor complex with RNA splicing factors and their functional consequences in tumorigenesis. Using mass spectrometry, in vivo binding assays, and cryo-EM we find that CoREST complex-splicing factor interactions are direct and perturbed by the CoREST complex inhibitor, corin, leading to extensive changes in RNA splicing in melanoma and other malignancies.

Care trajectories for musculoskeletal disorders following a new episode of low back pain.

This study explored diverse care trajectories (CTs) for low back pain (LBP) and other musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), over a 5-year period following a first episode of LBP. Based on Quebec's administrative health data from 2007 to 2011, this longitudinal cohort study involved 12,608 adults seeking health care for LBP. Using a new multidimensional state sequence analysis, we identified 6 distinct types of CTs.

Medication Exposure and Mortality in Patients With Schizophrenia.

Importance: The use of antipsychotics, antidepressants, and benzodiazepines may influence the risk of mortality in people with schizophrenia. However, many observational studies have not accounted for immortal time bias (ITB), which occurs when there is a period during which patients in the exposed group are necessarily alive and misclassified as exposed (the period between start of follow-up and initiation of drug). Ignoring ITB may lead to misinterpretation of the association between these drugs and mortality.

Care trajectories around a first dementia diagnosis in patients with serious mental illness.

Aim: To develop a typology of care trajectories (CTs) 1 year before and after a first dementia diagnosis in individuals aged ≥65 years, with prevalent schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

Methods: This was a longitudinal, retrospective cohort study using health administrative data (1996-2016) from Quebec (Canada). We selected patients aged ≥65 years with an incident diagnosis of dementia between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2016, and a diagnosis of schizophrenia and/or or bipolar disorder.
