RNA-binding proteins are emerging as critical modulators of oncogenic cell transformation, malignancy and therapy resistance. We have previously found that the RNA-binding protein Cold Shock Domain containing protein E1 (CSDE1) promotes invasion and metastasis of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer and also a highly heterogeneous disease in need of predictive biomarkers and druggable targets. Here, we design a monoclonal antibody useful for IHC in the clinical setting and use it to evaluate the prognosis potential of CSDE1 in an exploratory cohort of 149 whole tissue sections including benign nevi and primary tumors and metastasis from melanoma patients. Contrary to expectations for an oncoprotein, we observed a global decrease in CSDE1 levels with increasing malignancy. However, the CSDE1 cytoplasmic/nuclear ratio exhibited a positive correlation with adverse clinical features of primary tumors and emerged as a robust indicator of progression free survival in cutaneous melanoma, highlighting the potential of CSDE1 as a biomarker of prognosis. Our findings provide a novel feature for prognosis assessment and highlight the intricacies of RNA-binding protein dynamics in cancer progression.

Transl Lung Cancer Res 2020;9(2):421-423 | http://dx.doi.org/10.21037/tlcr.2020.03.01 A 64-year-old man, former smoker with no prior relevant medical history was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung and underwent right bilobectomy (MRL and LRL) and mediastinal lymphadenectomy. The histopathology report confirmed the tumor to be pT1aN1M0. The patient was offered adjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin and vinorelbine followed by adjuvant treatment with durvalumab (anti-PD-L1) 20 mg/kg/28 d in a clinical trial (NCT02273375). After 5 cycles of durvalumab, he presented at the emergency department with a 48-hour history of inflammatory pain in shoulders and pelvis, as well as low-grade fever. Physical examination revealed functional limitation of scapular and pelvic girdle. Laboratory analysis revealed increased acutephase reactants (CRP 52 mg/L; ESR 92 mm/h). Ultrasound of the shoulders showed bilateral bicipital tenosynovitis and subacromial bursitis, thus confirming the diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), which was associated with durvalumab. Treatment with methylprednisolone 12 mg/d led to a good clinical and laboratory response; therefore, immunotherapy was maintained. Three weeks later, while the patient was undergoing methylprednisolone 8 mg/d, he presented with erythematous macules and papules and edema on the lower limbs and was admitted for further assessment. Skin biopsy revealed leukocytoclastic vasculitis. The results of an immunological study based on antinuclear antibodies, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, rheumatoid factor and cryoglobulins were negative. Complement levels were normal. Twenty-fourhour urine test revealed proteinuria (539 mg/24 h) and hematuria (90% dysmorphic red blood cells). PET-CT ruled out recurrence of the lung tumor. Kidney biopsy eventually revealed IgA vasculitis. In summary, we present the case of a patient receiving durvalumab who presented with symptoms compatible with PMR and IgA vasculitis. Given the second immune related adverse event (IRAE) induced by durvalumab, we decided to withdraw immunotherapy and start treatment with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and 0.5 mg/kg/d prednisone. The symptoms were completely resolved and it was possible to taper glucocorticoids dose till its withdrawal 1 year later. The patient is currently being followed at the oncology and rheumatology clinics, is not receiving cancer treatment nor rheumatic, and remains symptom-free. The advent of the immune check-point inhibitors (ICI) in the clinical scenario has meant a relevant change in the therapeutic approach for several solid tumors. They have changed dramatically the prognosis of these tumors with a substantial improvement of survival and even with longlasting responders to such therapies. Despite this, ICI have come together with a new spectrum of toxicities. Generally, the incidence of the IR-AE is low with a mild or moderate symptomatic burden at presentation. Usually, they can be well controlled with steroids, requiring dose delays and occasionally drug withhold. Occasionally, these IRAE may be life-threatening with permanent and disabling Letter to the Editor

Importance Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a devastating genetic condition characterized by the development of multiple tumors of the nervous system. An early diagnosis of individuals with NF2 would facilitate treatment and reduction of disease impact because most severe effects of the disease do not usually develop before adolescence. Little attention has traditionally been paid to dermatological signs in NF2. However, skin plaques are commonly seen in patients with NF2, normally appearing either at birth or early childhood, providing an opportunity for early NF2 detection and testing. Objective To determine the clinical utility of skin plaque identification and characterization in children for reaching an early diagnosis of patients with NF2 and to evaluate their molecular pathogenesis and their use in the genetic diagnostics of NF2. Design, Setting, and Participants Diagnostic test study by the histological and genetic characterization of skin plaques from patients with NF2. Patients were 7 individuals with NF2 or clinical suspicion of NF2 treated at the Spanish Reference Center on Phakomatoses. Main Outcomes and Measures Histological evaluation of all skin plaques was performed. Fresh skin plaques were cultured to obtain Schwann cells and theNF2gene was genetically analyzed. For all 7 patients, NF2 clinical history was reviewed. Results In all 7 patients (4 male and 3 female), all skin plaques analyzed were histologically characterized as plexiform schwannomas. Genetic analysis of primary Schwann cell cultures derived from them allowed the identification of a constitutional and a somaticNF2mutation. Genetic testing allowed the early diagnosis of NF2 in a child only exhibiting the presence of skin plaques. Most of the patients with NF2 analyzed had an early presentation of skin plaques and a severe NF2 phenotype. Conclusions and Relevance This work emphasizes the clinical utility of a careful dermatological inspection and the correct identification of skin plaques in children for an early diagnosis of NF2. We show for the first time that Schwann cells derived from skin plaque plexiform schwannomas bear the double inactivation of theNF2gene and thus constitute an excellent source of tissue for genetic testing, especially in the context of mosaicism.
Background Chronic immunosuppression promotes nonmelanocytic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) after kidney transplantation. Adaptive and innate immunity play a key role controlling tumor growth and are influenced by different immunosuppressive agents. We hypothesized that functional impairment of tumor-specific T cell responses due to calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) could contribute to SCC development, whereas conversion to mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors (mTOR-i) could recover this protective immune response. Methods Peripheral tumor-specific T cell responses against main SCC-derived antigens using the IFN-&ggr; enzyme-linked immunospot assay and intratumor (IT) and circulating immune phenotypes (CD4 + T, CD8 + T, CD20 + B, CD56 + NK, FOXP3 + regulatory T [Treg] cells) were explored in a cross-sectional analysis in 59 kidney transplant patients with SCC on CNI (KT-CNI-SCC) or mTOR-i (KT-mTORi-SCC), 25 nontransplants developing SCC (NoKT-SCC) and 6 healthy controls. Moreover, 25 KT-CNI-SCC were switched to mTOR-i and evaluated after 12 months. Results Kidney transplant patients showed lower IT infiltrates and tumor-specific T cell responses than NoKT-SCC, and intratumoral and circulating FOXP3 + Treg cells were higher in KT-mTORi-SCC (P < 0.05). Tumor-specific T cell responses were significantly lower in KT-CNI-SCC than KT-mTORi-SCC and NoKT-SCC and predicted SCC relapses (area under the curve = 0.837; P < 0.05). One-year after mTOR-i conversion, a significant increase in FOXP3 + Treg cell numbers and tumor-specific T cell responses were observed, reaching similar levels than KT-mTORi-SCC and NoKT-SCC patients. Conclusions Tumor-specific T cell responses are strongly impaired in CNI-treated patients but recover after mTOR-i conversion, reducing SCC relapses.
BACKGROUND:Mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma is a rare tumor recently recognized as a new category in the last World Health Organization (WHO) classification of appendiceal tumors (2010). This term has been proposed to designate carcinomas of the appendix that arise by progression from a pre-existing goblet cell carcinoid. Mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinomas are more aggressive tumors than typical goblet cell carcinoids and usually present with peritoneal spreading and ovarian masses. Staging, some histological features, and completeness of surgery are factors that determine its evolution.CASE PRESENTATION:We report the case of a mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma--signet ring cell subtype--that presented as a Krukenberg tumor of unknown primary.CONCLUSION:The review of literature is focused on the most recent WHO pathologic classification of appendiceal tumors containing goblet cell clusters, which seems to correlate with prognosis. A management proposal for mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinomas reported in previous literature is also discussed. This ranges from right hemicolectomy to cytoreduction plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, in both cases usually followed by intravenous chemotherapy.
Grover disease (GD) is a rather common papular pruritic dermatosis that can be transient, persistent, or asymptomatic. The microscopic diagnosis of clinically suspected lesions can be challenging because GD can adopt different patterns, and involved areas are generally admitted to be mostly focal. The histopathologic hallmark of the disease is acantholysis, frequently combined with dyskeratosis, which confers the lesions an appearance similar to Darier disease, Hailey-Hailey disease, or pemphigus. Eczematous features can be observed as well. In this study of 120 consecutive cases of GD, we have found a sex and age incidence similar to what has been previously described, with no obvious seasonal influence, but careful evaluation of their microscopic features suggests that the histopathological diagnostic criteria of GD should be expanded. Specifically, in addition to the commonly described GD findings, we have detected cases with porokeratosis-like oblique columns of parakeratosis, lesions showing a nevoid or lentiginous silhouette, intraepidermal vesicular lesions, lichenoid changes with basal vacuolization and dyskeratosis, and dysmaturative foci with keratinocyte atypia. Moreover, quite often the dermal infiltrate was composed not only of lymphocytes intermingled with eosinophils, but also of neutrophils. In many cases, the capillary vessels showed hints of vascular damage including endothelial tumefaction due to cytoplasmatic edema and erythrocyte extravasation. Finally, because involved areas were larger than 2 mm in more than 50% of our cases, we should assume that GD lesions are not always as small as commonly claimed. Awareness of the patterns newly described herein may be important to avoid underdiagnosis of GD and may contribute to understand the pathogenesis of this acantholytic disease.
