Platinum Drug Sensitivity Polymorphisms in Stage III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer With Invasion of Mediastinal Lymph Nodes.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND/AIM:Patients with stage IIIA (N2) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with no progression after induction chemotherapy are usually selected for surgery. Nowadays, response to chemotherapy is not predictable. We aimed to identify genomic predictive markers for response to induction chemotherapy in stage IIIA (N2) NSCLC patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS:Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed on samples from 11 patients with no response after induction chemotherapy and 6 patients with documented pathological response, admitted to the Hotel Dieu Hospital, Paris or Allegemeines Krakenhaus University, Vienna. RESULTS:A higher alternative allele frequency was found on SENP5, rs63736860, rs1602 and NCBP2, rs553783 in the non-responder group, and on RGP1, rs1570248, SLFN12L, rs2304968, rs9905892, and GBA2, rs3833700 in the responder group. CONCLUSION:These polymorphisms contribute to inter-individual sensibility to chemotherapy response. Interrogation of these genetic variations may have potential applicability when deciding the treatment strategy for patients with stage III NSCLC (N2).

Project description:Pandemic live attenuated influenza vaccines (pLAIV) prime subjects for a robust neutralizing antibody response upon subsequent administration of a pandemic inactivated subunit vaccine (pISV). However, a difference was not detected in H5-specific memory B cells in the peripheral blood between pLAIV-primed and unprimed subjects prior to pISV boost. To investigate the mechanism underlying pLAIV priming, we vaccinated groups of 12 African green monkeys (AGMs) with H5N1 pISV or pLAIV alone or H5N1 pLAIV followed by pISV and examined immunity systemically and in local draining lymph nodes (LN). The AGM model recapitulated the serologic observations from clinical studies. Interestingly, H5N1 pLAIV induced robust germinal center B cell responses in the mediastinal LN (MLN). Subsequent boosting with H5N1 pISV drove increases in H5-specific B cells in the axillary LN, spleen, and circulation in H5N1 pLAIV-primed animals. Thus, H5N1 pLAIV primes localized B cell responses in the MLN that are recalled systemically following pISV boost. These data provide mechanistic insights for the generation of robust humoral responses via prime-boost vaccination.IMPORTANCE We have previously shown that pandemic live attenuated influenza vaccines (pLAIV) prime for a rapid and robust antibody response on subsequent administration of inactivated subunit vaccine (pISV). This is observed even in individuals who had undetectable antibody (Ab) responses following the initial vaccination. To define the mechanistic basis of pLAIV priming, we turned to a nonhuman primate model and performed a detailed analysis of B cell responses in systemic and local lymphoid tissues following prime-boost vaccination with pLAIV and pISV. We show that the nonhuman primate model recapitulates the serologic observations from clinical studies. Further, we found that pLAIVs induced robust germinal center B cell responses in the mediastinal lymph node. Subsequent boosting with pISV in pLAIV-primed animals resulted in detection of B cells in the axillary lymph nodes, spleen, and peripheral blood. We demonstrate that intranasally administered pLAIV elicits a highly localized germinal center B cell response in the mediastinal lymph node that is rapidly recalled following pISV boost into germinal center reactions at numerous distant immune sites.

Project description:BackgroundTo evaluate the diagnostic value of computed tomography (CT) attenuation in mediastinal lymph node metastases of malignant tumors.MethodsA retrospective review was conducted of a Chinese institutional database of consecutive patients with a history of malignant tumors. Those who had enlarged, necrotic, or hypermetabolic lymph nodes detected in the mediastinum during routine CT examination or positron emission tomography (PET)/CT imaging from January 2019 to December 2021 were collected for investigation. All patients underwent endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) and were followed up for at least 6 months to diagnose lymph node metastases. One-to-one correlation was attempted between the CT images of the lymph nodes and EBUS-TBNA area of the same lymph node groups and similar size. Radiologists measured size, as well as plain CT and contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) attenuation values of mediastinal lymph nodes, and evaluated the effectiveness of these variables in diagnosing lymph node metastasis.ResultsA total of 135 lymph nodes of 114 patients were included in the study. In the univariate analysis, the long-axis diameter, short-axis diameter, short-axis/long-axis ratio, and plain CT attenuation values of lymph nodes were found to be statistically significantly different between the metastatic and non-metastatic lymph nodes. The areas under receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves (AUCs) of long-axis diameter, short-axis diameter, short-axis/long-axis ratio, and plain CT attenuation value for diagnosing metastases were 0.711, 0.788, 0.671, and 0.827, respectively. The best value of the AUC for diagnosing lymph node metastases was 0.827 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.749-0.890] using plain CT attenuation value ≤45 Hounsfield units (HU). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were 92.8%, 69.2%, 86.5%, and 81.8%, respectively. Similar results were obtained from the 68 cases of lung cancer. Plain CT attenuation values reached the best AUC (0.860) for diagnosing lymph node metastases.ConclusionsPlain CT attenuation of lymph nodes is an effective method for diagnosing enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes with a history of multiple malignancies or lung cancer. Plain CT could be used as an additional test where there is no PET/CT available in cases of diagnostic dilemma.
