Sustained remission of severe Multicentric Castleman disease following multiagent chemotherapy and tocilizumab maintenance.

ABSTRACT: Castleman disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder, which presents in a unicentric or multicentric fashion. Multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) is associated with significant systemic symptoms, in part related to the underlying role of interleukin-6 in disease pathogenesis. Treatment for MCD has not been well established and prognosis has historically been poor. We present a case of severe MCD in a pediatric patient who has shown sustained remission following multi-agent chemotherapy and targeted maintenance therapy with the interleukin-6 receptor inhibitor, tocilizumab. This represents the first case report of sustained remission of MCD in a pediatric patient following discontinuation of tocilizumab therapy.

Increased mTOR activation in idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease.

Project description:Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a rare and poorly understood hematologic disorder characterized by lymphadenopathy, systemic inflammation, cytopenias, and life-threatening multiorgan dysfunction. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) inhibition effectively treats approximately one-third of patients. Limited options exist for nonresponders, because the etiology, dysregulated cell types, and signaling pathways are unknown. We previously reported 3 anti-IL-6 nonresponders with increased mTOR activation who responded to mTOR inhibition with sirolimus. We investigated mTOR signaling in tissue and serum proteomes from iMCD patients and controls. mTOR activation was increased in the interfollicular space of iMCD lymph nodes (N = 26) compared with control lymph nodes by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for pS6, p4EBP1, and p70S6K, known effectors and readouts of mTORC1 activation. IHC for pS6 also revealed increased mTOR activation in iMCD compared with Hodgkin lymphoma, systemic lupus erythematosus, and reactive lymph nodes, suggesting that the mTOR activation in iMCD is not just a product of lymphoproliferation/inflammatory lymphadenopathy. Further, the degree of mTOR activation in iMCD was comparable to autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome, a disease driven by mTOR hyperactivation that responds to sirolimus treatment. Gene set enrichment analysis of serum proteomic data from iMCD patients (n = 88) and controls (n = 42) showed significantly enriched mTORC1 signaling. Finally, functional studies revealed increased baseline mTOR pathway activation in peripheral monocytes and T cells from iMCD remission samples compared with healthy controls. IL-6 stimulation augmented mTOR activation in iMCD patients, which was abrogated with JAK1/2 inhibition. These findings support mTOR activation as a novel therapeutic target for iMCD, which is being investigated through a trial of sirolimus (NCT03933904).

Leg-type form of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease associated with severe lower extremity chronic venous/lymphatic disease.

Project description:Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a lymphoproliferative disease of unknown etiology. Deciphering mechanisms involved in CD pathogenesis may help improving patients' care. Six cases of stereotyped sub-diaphragmatic iMCD affecting lower limb-draining areas and associated with severe and often ulcerative lower extremity chronic dermatological condition were identified in our cohort. Pathological examination revealed mixed or plasma-cell type MCD. In three patients, shotgun metagenomics failed to identify any pathogen in involved lymph nodes. Antibiotics had a suspensive effect while rituximab and tocilizumab failed to improve the condition. This novel entity requires a specific approach and exclusion of potentially harmful immunomodulation.

Treatment of Kaposi Sarcoma Herpesvirus-Associated Multicentric Castleman Disease.

Project description:Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV)-associated multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) is a rare, polyclonal lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by flares of inflammatory symptoms, edema, cytopenias, lymphadenopathy, and splenomegaly. Diagnosis requires a lymph node biopsy. Pathogenesis is related to dysregulated inflammatory cytokines, including human and viral interleukin-6. Rituximab alone or in combination with chemotherapy, such as liposomal doxorubicin, has led to an overall survival of over 90% at 5 years. Experimental approaches to treatment include virus activated cytotoxic therapy with high-dose zidovudine and valganciclovir and targeting human interleukin-6 activity. Despite successful treatment of KSHV-MCD, patients remain at high risk for developing non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Recent advances in Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus-associated multicentric Castleman disease.

Project description:Purpose of reviewThe discovery of Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) led to recognition of KSHV-associated multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) as a distinct lymphoproliferative disorder. The pathogenesis of KSHV-MCD is attributed to proliferation of KSHV-infected B cells, production of KSHV-encoded viral interleukin 6 by these cells, and dysregulation of human interleukin 6 and interleukin 10. This article reviews advances in the field of disease pathogenesis and targeted therapies.Recent findingsOur understanding of the pathogenesis of KSHV-MCD has increased in recent years and improved therapies have been developed. Recent studies demonstrate that the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, rituximab, as well as virus-activated cytotoxic therapy using high-dose zidovudine and valganciclovir, can control symptoms and decrease adenopathy. With treatment, 1-year survival now exceeds 85%. Interestingly, even in the absence of pathologic findings of MCD, KSHV-infected patients may have inflammatory symptoms, excess cytokine production, and elevated KSHV viral load similar to KSHV-associated MCD. The term KSHV-associated inflammatory cytokine syndrome has been proposed to describe such patients.SummaryRecent advances in targeted therapy have improved outcomes in KSHV-MCD, and decreased need for cytotoxic chemotherapy. Improved understanding of the pathogenesis of KSHV-MCD and KSHV-associated inflammatory cytokine syndrome is needed, and will likely lead to additional advances in therapy for these disorders.
