Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) was demonstrated as a biomarker for predicting clinical outcomes in B-cell lymphoma (BCL) patients. However, ctDNA and its minimum number of mutant genes that stratify relapsed or refractory BCL (R/R BCL) patients receiving chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy remains unknown. The plasma ctDNA of 10 patients with R/R BCL receiving CAR-T cell therapy from our clinical center was adopted for targeted exome sequencing. Regarding R/R BCL patients who received CAR-T cell therapy, their 6-, 12- and 18-month overall survival (OS) rates were 90%, 80% and 64%, respectively, while their complete remission (CR) rate was 70%. There was a clear trend suggesting that ctDNA negative was related to favorable OS, even though it was not of significance at that point (P = 0.09). To be specific, BCL2, NRAS, and TBL1XR1 in ctDNA were the optimal combination for predicting OS of R/R BCL patients (P = 0.009). Importantly, ctDNA and BCL2/ NRAS/ TBL1XR1 were all positively correlated with 18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18 FDG-PET/CT) in evaluating the effectiveness of CAT-T cell therapy (P < 0.05). We identified ctDNA and BCL2/NRAS/TBL1XR1 mutations that can predict the prognosis for R/R BCL patients, which might assist to better select R/R BCL patients for CAR T-cell therapy.
Background: Ferroptosis is a new form of iron-dependent cell death associated with the pathophysiology of vascular dementia (VD). However, the specific mechanism of action is still unclear. This study aims to explore the specific mechanism of action between ferroptosis and VD to find effective therapeutic targets.Methods: Mice were treated with bilateral common carotid artery stenosis (BCAS) to mimic VD models. Neurological function was evaluated using a Morris water maze and mouse hippocampal pathology. Transcriptomic sequencing was performed on hippocampal tissue to search for target genes related to ferroptosis, which was validated in oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) treated PC12 cells. Iron content, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and lipid hydroperoxide (LPO) levels were measured. Glu-tathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4 (ACSL4) levels were measured using WB (Western Blot) and qPCR (Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction), respectively.Results: Plasma prekallikrein (KLKB1, PK) levels were elevated in the hippocampal of BCAS-induced mice and OGD-exposed PC12 cells. Compared with the blank group, KLKB1 knockdown protected PC12 cells from OGD-induced apoptosis, and KLKB1 knockdown reduced ROS production and lipid peroxidation in PC12 cells. Besides, KLKB1 knockdown decreased iron content and elevated GPX4 expression.Conclusions: KLKB1 knockdown alleviates cognitive disorder via inhibiting ferroptosis in VD. Inhibition of oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation and reduction of iron content are involved in the underlying mechanisms.

【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T cell) for refractory/relapsed B-cell lymphoma. Methods The efficacy and safety of CD19-CAR-T cells(4-1BB costimulatory domain) in treatment of 12 patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma from March 2018 to December 2019 in the Department of Hematology of Guangdong Second Province Hospital were collected analyzed retrospectively. There were 9 patients (75%) with diffuse large B cell lymphoma, 1 patient with blastic variant of mantle cell lymphoma, 1 patient(8.3%) with Burkitt lymphoma, 1 patient with B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that cannot be classified. 3 patients (25%) with large mass (≥7.5cm) and 9 patients (75%) with ECOG score ≥2. The number of chemotherapy courses received before transfusion was 4-9, the median number of chemotherapy courses was 7. All 12 patients were autogenous mouse CAR-T cells. Fludarabine + Cyclophosphamide (FC) regimen was used for pretreatment before transfusion, and the number of CAR-T cells was 1 ~ 3.69×10 6/kg. Results All 12 patients received CD19-targeted CAR-T cell therapy. There were 9 patients had treatment response, and the total effective rate was 75%. Among them, there were 3 patients with complete response (CR), with CR rate of 25%, and 6 patients with partial response (PR), with PR rate of 50%. Among the 3 patients with CR remained CR at the follow-up date. Among the 6 patients with PR, 4 showed disease progression in the second month after transfusion, and 2 showed disease progression in the third month after transfusion. All the 9 patients with effective treatment had different degrees of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), including 3 level-1 CRS, 4 level-2 CRS, and 2 level-3 CRS. Two of them had grade 2 CRES, and all CRS and CRES were controlled after treatment with IL-6 receptor antagonists and glucocorticoids. None of the 3 patients failed to respond to treatment had CRS. Conclusion CD19-targeted CAR-T cell immunotherapy has been shown to be effective in CD19-antigen positive B-cell lymphoma, and adverse CRS reactions during treatment can be controlled after treatment. Patients who obtained CR seemed to be able to maintain long-term CR status, while patients who failed to obtain CR showed disease progression within a short period of 3 months, suggesting that patients who obtained CR at an early stage could achieve better efficacy. Therefore, how to identify patients who receive CR at an early stage may be a research direction for the clinical application of CAR-T cell immunotherapy in B-cell lymphoma.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T-cell(CD19-CAR-T) therapy for relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblast leukemia(B-ALL). Methods The efficacy and safety of CD19-CAR-T cells(4-1BB costimulatory domain) in treatment of 34 patients with relapsed/refractory B-ALL from March 2015 to December 2019 in the Department of Hematology of Guangdong Second Province Hospital were collected analyzed retrospectively. There were 18 cases (52.9%) with high-risk cytogenetic or molecular markers, 14 cases (41.2%) with tumor load was ≥50% before transfusion, 24 cases (70.6%) with ECOG score ≥2. The number of chemotherapy courses received before transfusion was 2-15, the median number of chemotherapy courses was 5. There were 32 autogenous CAR-T cells and 2 donor-derived CAR-T cells, 11 of them received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) before transfusion. All were mouse CAR-T cells. Fludarabine + Cyclophosphamide (FC) regimen was used for pretreatment before transfusion, and the number of CAR-T cells was 1 ~ 13.4×10 6/kg. Results All 34 patients received CD19-targeted CAR-T cell therapy. 22 patients obtained MRD- after 1 month, CR rate was 64.7%. 20 patients maintained MRD- after 2 months, and the CR rate was 58.8%. 13 patients still maintained MRD- after 3 months, with a CR rate of 38.2%. 4 patients with recurrence presented CD19 negative recurrence. 10 patients underwent Allo-HSCT after CR acquisition, 6 of them maintained a continuous CR state, and 4 patients died after recurrence. Cytokines release syndrome (CRS) was observed in 31 patients (91.2%). Among them, there were 20 patients (64.5%) with grade 1 ~ 2, 8 patients (25.8%) with grade 3 ~ 4, and 3 patients (9.7%) with grade 5. The cytokines levels of IL-6 and IFN-γ were mainly increased in 20 (64.5%) and 18 (58.1%) patients, respectively. Common clinical adverse reactions are: fever with 32 cases (94.1%), pancytopenia with 28 cases (82.4%), chills with 17 cases (50.0%), fatigue with 26 cases (76.5%), hypotension with 27 cases (79.4%), tachycardia with 24 cases (70.6%), hypofibrinogenemia with 20 cases (58.8%), hypoproglobinemia with 27 cases (79.4%), neurotoxicity with 15 cases (44.1%), nausea with 16 cases (47.1%), vomiting with 14 cases (41.2%), hypoalbuminemia with 25 cases (73.5%), transaminase eleations with 16 cases (47.1%), electrolyte metabolic disorders with 27 cases (79.4%) , hypoxemiawith 15 cases (44.1%). Conclusion CAR-T cells therapy is a novel method for the treatment of refractory/recurrent B-ALL with CD19 antigen positive, which can make patients achieved complete remission in a short time, even achieved MRD negative, and most of the CRS appeared in the process of treatment can be controlled by treatment, but the recurrence rate is higher after 3 months later, and can appear CD19 negative relapse. Allo-HSCT as soon as possible after obtaining CR can enable some patients to obtain sustained CR.Therefore, more clinical studies are needed to explore the clinical application of CAR-T cell therapy. Currently, it is believed that bridging with allo-HSCT may be a solution to achieve sustained CR.
Background: We identified the hub genes and pathways dysregulated in acute myeloid leukemia and the potential molecular mechanisms involved. Methods: We downloaded the GSE15061 gene expression dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and used weighted gene co-expression network analysis to identify hub genes. Differential expression of the genes was evaluated using the limma package in R software. Subsequently, we built a protein-protein interaction network followed by functional enrichment analysis. Then, the prognostic significance of gene expression was explored in terms of overall survival. Finally, transcription factor-mRNA (ribonucleic acid) and microRNA-mRNA interaction analysis was also explored. Results: We identified 100 differentially expressed hub genes. Functional enrichment analysis indicated that the genes were principally involved in immune system regulation, host defense, and negative regulation of apoptosis and myeloid cell differentiation. We identified 4 hub genes, the expression of which was significantly correlated with overall survival. Finally, 26 key regulators for hub genes and 38 microRNA-mRNA interactions were identified. Conclusion: We performed a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis of hub genes potentially involved in acute myeloid leukemia development. Further molecular biological experiments are required to confirm the roles played by these genes.

Conclusion Both artesunate and lenalidomide inhibit MM .1R cell proliferation .Combination of artesunate with lenalido-mide can enlarge this effect through down -regulating NF-κB (P65), Bcl-xl, Mcl-1, p-Bad, and P-gp.
ObjectivesAdministration of anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T cells for B-cell malignancies has been remarkably effective in recent clinical trials. To investigate the critical parameters affecting efficacy and evaluated the safety of using CAR T cells targeting CD19 in B-lineage malignancies. We performed a systematic review of reported phase I clinical trials using CAR T cells targeting CD19 in B-lineage malignancies.MethodsWe searched Medline and Embase for studies on anti-CD19 CAR-modified T cells in patients with B-cell malignancies in October 2014. Univariate analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and a Cox regression model was used to determine the independent prognostic factors of progression-free survival (PFS).ResultsSix trials involving 50 patients were included in this review. After CAR T-cell infusion, the overall response rate was 48% (complete responses in 24%). The 6-month PFS and 1-year PFS were 43% and 27%, respectively. Statistically significant factors favorably influencing PFS were conditioning chemotherapy (P<0.001), B-cell aplasia (P=0.040), and durable persistence of CAR T cells (P=0.013) in univariate analyses. After multivariate analysis, conditioning chemotherapy remained as an independent prognostic factor for PFS. The most common adverse events were fever, hypotension, rigor, fatigue, bacteremia, chill, dyspnea, and headache, but all were temporary and resolved.ConclusionAnti-CD19 CAR-modified T cells have shown therapeutic efficacy in patients with B-lineage malignancies and were well tolerated in most patients. Conditioning chemotherapy is a prerequisite to improve the clinical outcome.
Rationale:The presence of the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has been associated with a high risk of disease relapse and a poor prognosis. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an established treatment for adults with Ph-positive ALL, but relapse remains the primary cause of treatment failure, and is associated with an extremely poor prognosis. The emergence of resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) poses a challenge for patients with disease relapses after initial treatment with TKI-containing regimens. Patient concerns:Two patients with TKI-resistant recurrent Ph-positive ALL. Diagnoses:Ph-positive ALL. Interventions:Anti-CD19 CAR T-cell infusion. Outcomes:One patient's bone marrow blasts decreased significantly, and the other reached negative minimal residual disease (MRD). However, we first recorded the development of new-onset acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after anti-CD19 CAR T-cell infusion in a patient who received allogeneic HSCT. Our 2 case reports also demonstrate the efficacy of anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy in the treatment of TKI-resistant Ph-positive ALL. Lessons:Our report suggests that anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy may be a promising option for the treatment of relapsed Ph-positive ALL after conventional chemotherapy or allogeneic HSCT. However, caution is due given the possibility of the adverse effects of cytokine release syndrome (CRS)-induced aGVHD for patients receiving allogeneic HSCT.
Objective To investigate the expression level of regulatory T cells(Tregs) in aplastic anemia patients and its changing in the evolution of the disease,and to explore the rule of Tregs on the pathogenesis of apalastic anemia and the possibility of Tregs as the indicator of prognosis and the effect of treatment. Methods Tregs of peripheral blood mononuclear cells were analyzed before and after immunocompressive therapy in 21 patients with severe aplastic anemia by FACS,and,compared with normal control. Results The quantities of Tregs of severe aplastic anemia reduced dramatically compared with normal healthy,and recovered after effective therapy;non response patients remained the level of Tregs unchanged. Conclusion Tregs may play an important role in maintaining normal hematopoiesis,and the reduction of Tregs may be related to the pathogenesis of aplastic anemia.Meanwhile,Tregs could be looked as indicator to monitor the effectiveness of treatment.
Objective To investigate the role of dihydroartemisinin in the apoptosis of human acute myeloblastic leukemia HL-60 cells. Methods The growth inhibition of HL-60 cells treated with dihydroartemisinin was assessed by XTT cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assay kit.The apoptosis and mitochondria membrane potential of HL-60 cells were assessed by flow cytometry with AnnexinV-FITC/PI and JC-1 staining,respectively.The activity of Caspase-3 was measured by ELISA. Results Dihydroartemisinin inhibited HL-60 cells proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner,and induced the apoptosis of HL-60 cells via depolarizing mitochondria membrane and activating Caspase-3. Conclusion Dihydroartemisinin inhibits HL-60 cells proliferation and induces HL-60 cells apoptosis,which may be correlated with mitochondria apoptosis pathway.
Objective: To study the effects of ALLO-NK cell cytotoxicity against leukemic cell lines KG1a treated with Curcumine and to preliminarily explore their molecular mechanisms.Methods: Taking ALLO-NK highly sensitive K562 cells as controls,cytotoxicity of NK cells isolated from 5 healthy volunteers against two leukemia cells was analyzed by LDH releasing assay at different effector-to-target cell ratios(E∶ T).The expressions of NKG2D ligands and HLA-classⅠmolecule were assayed by flow cytometery;the mRNA expression of NKG2D ligands in two kind of cells was measured by RT-PCR;CCK-8 test was conducted to find out the 50 % inhibition concentration of Curcumine and this level of Curcumine was chosen to treat KG1a cells;cytotoxicity of ALLO-NK cells was analyzed by LDH releasing assay and the expressions of NKG2D ligands and HLA-classⅠmolecule were assayed by flow cytometery after treating with Curcumine once again.Results: KG1a cells is not sensitive to ALLO-NK cells.The expressions of NKG2D ligands were positively detected in the two cells at mRNA level,but they were significantly higher in K562 cells than KG1a cells at the protein level(P<0.05).However,the expression of NKG2D ligands in KG1a cells was up-regulated(P<0.05)and no significant difference of expression of HLA-classⅠmolecules was observed after treateing with Curcumine(P>0.05).Conclusion: Curcumine could obviously up-regulate NKG2D ligands expression in KG1a cells and thus enhance the cytotoxicity of NK cells against KG1a cells.
