Project description:Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) is a rare liver disease with considerable morbidity and mortality. (-)-Epicatechin (EPI) is a natural flavonol. This study aims to investigate the protection of EPI against monocrotaline (MCT)-induced HSOS and its engaged mechanism. Results of serum alanine/aspartate aminotransferases (ALT/AST) activities, total bilirubin (TBil) and bile acids (TBA) amounts, liver histological evaluation, scanning electron microscope observation and hepatic metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expression all demonstrated the protection by EPI against MCT-induced HSOS in rats. EPI attenuated liver oxidative injury induced by MCT. EPI enhanced the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and increased the expression of its downstream antioxidant genes in rats. Molecular docking results implied the potential interaction of EPI with the Nrf2 binding site in kelch-like ECH-associated protein-1 (Keap1). The EPI-provided protection against MCT-induced HSOS was diminished in Nrf2 knock-out mice when mice were treated with MCT for 24?h but not for 48?h. However, EPI reduced the increased liver myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, hepatic infiltration of immune cells, pro-inflammatory cytokines expression and nuclear factor ?B (NF?B) activation in both wild-type and Nrf2 knock-out mice when mice were treated with MCT for 48?h. EPI reduced the elevated serum heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) content, and reversed the decreased mitochondria expression of HSP60 and Lon in livers from MCT-treated rats. Furthermore, the MCT-induced HSOS was markedly alleviated in mice treated with anti-HSP60 antibody. Taken together, this study demonstrates that EPI attenuates MCT-induced HSOS by reducing liver oxidative injury via activating Nrf2 antioxidant pathway and inhibiting liver inflammatory injury through abrogating NF?B signaling pathway initiated by HSP60.

Project description:Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease (SOS/VOD) is a rare but severe complication of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) showing high mortality. Multiple risk factors for SOS/VOD were identified, but it is often confused with other hepatic complications due to nonspecific clinical features. Therefore, diagnostic and severity criteria have been revised several times. The European Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation suggested a new guideline that excludes the standard duration of development within 21 days, emphasizes late-onset SOS/VOD, and suggests the importance of Doppler ultrasonography. The severity criteria were further subdivided for guidance to begin active treatment using defibrotide which was approved in Korea since 2016. In a phase 3 trial, defibrotide had superior 100-day survival, compared to best available treatments (38.2% vs. 25.0%). Although several studies of SOS/VOD in Korean patients have been performed after the implementation of HCT, most involved small number of pediatric patients. Recently, the Korean Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation investigated the incidence of SOS/VOD in the Korean population, and several influential studies of adult patients were published. Here, we summarize recent issues regarding the mechanism, diagnosis, severity criteria, prevention, and treatments of SOS/VOD in Korean patients, as well as recent analyses of nationwide incidence.

Project description:Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS/VOD) represents a dramatic complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), particularly in children. Recent evidence has suggested a role for the gut microbiome (GM) in the context of HSCT and its related complications, but no data are available on the relationship between GM and SOS/VOD. Here, we conducted a retrospective case-control study in allo-HSCT pediatric patients developing or not SOS/VOD and profiled their GM over time, from before the transplant up to 72 days after. A rich and diverse GM before HSCT was found to be associated with a reduced likelihood of developing SOS/VOD. Furthermore, prior to transplant, patients not developing SOS/VOD showed an enrichment in some typically health-associated commensals, such as Bacteroides, Ruminococcaceae and Lachnospiraceae. Their levels remained overall higher until post-transplant. This high-diversity configuration resembles that described in other studies for other HSCT-related complications, including graft-versus-host disease, potentially representing a common protective GM feature against HSCT complications.

Project description:Reliable, noninvasive methods for diagnosing and prognosing sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) early after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) are needed. We used a quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics approach to identify candidate biomarkers of SOS by comparing plasma pooled from 20 patients with and 20 patients without SOS. Of 494 proteins quantified, we selected 6 proteins (L-Ficolin, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 [VCAM1], tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1, von Willebrand factor, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and CD97) based on a differential heavy/light isotope ratio of at least 2 fold, information from the literature, and immunoassay availability. Next, we evaluated the diagnostic potential of these 6 proteins and 5 selected from the literature (suppression of tumorigenicity-2 [ST2], angiopoietin-2 (ANG2), hyaluronic acid [HA], thrombomodulin, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1) in samples from 80 patients. The results demonstrate that together ST2, ANG2, L-Ficolin, HA, and VCAM1 compose a biomarker panel for diagnosis of SOS. L-Ficolin, HA, and VCAM1 also stratified patients at risk for SOS as early as the day of HCT. Prognostic Bayesian modeling for SOS onset based on L-Ficolin, HA, and VCAM1 levels on the day of HCT and clinical characteristics showed >80% correct prognosis of SOS onset. These biomarkers may provide opportunities for preemptive intervention to minimize SOS incidence and/or severity.

Project description:AIM:The present study aimed to examine the effects of prophylactic administration of recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin (rTM) for the prevention of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS). MATERIALS AND METHODS:Crl:CD1 mice were allocated to the rTM, placebo, and control groups. The rTM group received an intraperitoneal administration of rTM, with intraperitoneal administration of monocrotaline (MCT) 1 h later. The placebo group received PBS instead of rTM, and the control group received PBS instead of rTM and MCT. Mice were sacrificed 48 h after MCT administration, and blood and liver tissues were evaluated. Immunostaining was performed using anti-CD42b and anti-SE-1 antibodies, and AZAN staining. Levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in whole liver tissues were estimated using RT-PCR. RESULTS:Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that SOS-related findings were markedly attenuated in the rTM group compared to the placebo group. CD42b immunostaining showed the presence of extravasated platelet activation (EPA) in the Disse space in the placebo group, but this was less noticeable in the rTM group. PAI-1 levels were significantly lower in the rTM group than in the placebo group in RT-PCR. However, eNOS levels were significantly higher in the rTM group than in the placebo group. CONCLUSION:Administration of rTM may prevent SOS by protecting sinusoidal endothelial cells.

Project description:Hepatic veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS) is a potentially life-threatening complication that occurs after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The mortality associated with untreated VOD/SOS with multiorgan dysfunction (MOD) has been reported to be >80%. The recommended dose of defibrotide is 6.25 mg/kg every 6 hours, administered as a 2-hour i.v. infusion, for a minimum of 21 days or until resolution of VOD/SOS signs and symptoms. The objective of this analysis was to evaluate the time to complete response (CR) in patients with post-HCT VOD/SOS treated with defibrotide. The time to defibrotide discontinuation due to a CR served as a surrogate for time to CR in an expanded access study (T-IND; ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00628498; n = 1000), and was analyzed separately from the time to CR data pooled from a phase 2 randomized dose-finding study (NCT00003966; n = 74 patients who received 25 mg/kg/day) and a phase 3 historically controlled study (NCT00358501; n = 102). For all studies, a CR was defined as total serum bilirubin <2 mg/dL with resolution of VOD/SOS-related MOD (renal and/or pulmonary dysfunction); the phase 2 study also required resolution of central nervous system dysfunction. In the T-IND, 390 patients discontinued treatment due to a CR and had sufficient data for analysis. The median time to discontinuation was 22 days (range, 2 to 64 days). Discontinuation due to CR occurred beyond 21 days in 235 patients (60%) and beyond 28 days in 57 patients (15%). The pooled phase 2 and 3 studies included 60 patients who achieved a CR, with a median time to CR of 24.5 days (range, 7 to 123 days). A CR was achieved beyond 21 days in 32 patients (53%) and beyond 28 days in 24 patients (40%). The Kaplan-Meier estimate of day +100 survival rate was substantially higher in patients who discontinued due to a CR compared with those who did not (92.5% versus 37.3%). Treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 185 of 390 patients (47%) who discontinued due to a CR in the T-IND and in 55 of 60 patients (92%) who achieved a CR in the pooled phase 2 and 3 studies, and rates did not differ according to duration of treatment (≤21 days versus >21 days). Taken together, these results highlight the importance of continued defibrotide therapy until resolution of VOD/SOS signs and symptoms, as currently indicated in the approved product labels, which may occur beyond the recommended minimum of 21 days.

Project description:Long-term treatment with 6-thioguanine (6-TG) for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is associated with high rates of hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS). Nevertheless, current treatment continues to use short-term applications of 6-TG with only sparse information on toxicity. 6-TG is metabolized by thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) which underlies clinically relevant genetic polymorphism. We analyzed the association between hepatic SOS reported as a serious adverse event (SAE) and short-term 6-TG application in 3983 pediatric ALL patients treated on trial AIEOP-BFM ALL 2000 (derivation cohort) and defined the role of TPMT genotype in this relationship. We identified 17 patients (0.43%) with hepatic SOS, 13 of which with short-term exposure to 6-TG (P < 0.0001). Eight of the 13 patients were heterozygous for low-activity TPMT variants, resulting in a 22.4-fold (95% confidence interval 7.1-70.7; P ≤ 0.0001) increased risk of hepatic SOS for heterozygotes in comparison to TPMT wild-type patients. Results were supported by independent replication analysis. All patients with hepatic SOS after short-term 6-TG recovered and did not demonstrate residual symptoms. Thus, hepatic SOS is associated with short-term exposure to 6-TG during treatment of pediatric ALL and SOS risk is increased for patients with low-activity TPMT genotypes.

Project description:Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a potentially life-threatening complication after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or antineoplastic treatment without HSCT. Genetic variants were investigated for their association with SOS, but the evidence is inconclusive. We performed a systematic literature review to identify genes, gene variants, and methods of association analyses of genetic markers with SOS. We identified 23 studies after HSCT and 4 studies after antineoplastic treatment without HSCT. One study (4%) performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) and replicated the analysis in an independent cohort, 26 used a candidate-gene approach. Three studies included >200 participants (11%), and six were of high quality (22%). Variants in 34 genes were tested in candidate gene studies after HSCT. Variants in GSTA1 were associated with SOS in three studies, MTHFR in two, and CPS1, CTH, CYP2B6, GSTM1, GSTP1, HFE, and HPSE in one study each. UGT2B10 and LNPK variants were identified in a WES analysis. After exposure to antineoplastic agents without HSCT, variants in six genes were tested and only GSTM1 was associated with SOS. There was a substantial heterogeneity of populations within and between studies. Future research should be based on sufficiently large homogenous samples, adjust for covariates, and replicate findings in independent cohorts.
