Project description:BackgroundSecondary forms of diabetes are often understudied and underdiagnosed in children and adolescents with cancer. The objectives of our cohort study were to study the incidence and risk factors for hyperglycaemia in leukaemia and lymphoma patients.MethodsWe retrospectively collected 15 years of data from paediatric patients treated for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) immediately at cancer diagnosis. We studied risk factors for hyperglycaemia in univariate and multivariate analyses.ResultsOur study cohort included 267 patients corresponding to 179 patients with ALL, 48 with NHL and 40 with HL. Eighteen per cent of ALL patients (32/179) and 17% of NHL patients (8/48) developed hyperglycaemia, with more than 61% developing hyperglycaemia within the first month of treatment. No hyperglycaemia was observed in HL patients. Multivariate analysis showed the following hyperglycaemia risk factors for ALL patients: overweight or obesity (OR 3.793) and pubertal onset (OR 4.269) at cancer diagnosis, steroid-resistant disease (OR 3.445) and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) (OR 4.754).ConclusionIn our cohort, 18% of patients with ALL or NHL developed early-onset hyperglycaemia after chemotherapy/radiotherapy. Patients with ALL with increased hyperglycaemia risk can be readily identified by measuring BMI and puberty stage at cancer diagnosis. Also, glucose monitoring should be reinforced when patients show steroid-resistant disease and/or require HSCT.

Project description:Survivors of childhood hematologic malignancies are at a substantially higher risk of developing subsequent neoplasms (SNs) when compared with the general population. SNs commonly observed in this population include basal cell carcinoma, brain tumors, thyroid cancer, breast cancer, bone tumors, and sarcoma. Radiation is the primary therapeutic exposure associated with the development of these SNs. There is emerging evidence of an association between chemotherapeutic exposures (alkylating agents/anthracyclines) and the development of SNs. Despite a strong dose-dependent association between therapeutic exposures and SN risk, there is significant interindividual variability in the risk for SNs for any given dose of therapeutic exposure. This interindividual variability in risk suggests the role of genetic susceptibility. This article describes the clinical and molecular epidemiology of SNs commonly observed in survivors of childhood hematologic malignancies and also highlights some of the work focusing on the development of risk prediction models to facilitate targeted interventions.

Project description:Hematologic malignancies cause more than half a million deaths every year worldwide. Analgesics were suggested as chemopreventive agents for several cancers but so far, results from individual studies about the relationship between paracetamol (acetaminophen) use and hematologic malignancies are conflicting. Therefore, we decided to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis. We retrieved studies published in any language by systematically searching Medline, Embase, Conference Proceedings Citation Index, Open Access Theses and Dissertations, and the five regional bibliographic databases of the World Health Organization until December 2020. Pooled odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated according to the inverse of their variances. We performed separate analyses by histologic type. We also evaluated publication bias and assessed quality. A total of 17 study units met our inclusion criteria. The results show an association of hematologic malignancies with any paracetamol intake (OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.23-1.80) and with high paracetamol intake (OR 1.77, 95% CI 1.45-2.16). By subtype, risk was higher for multiple myeloma (OR 2.13, 95% CI 1.54-2.94) for any use and OR 3.16, 95% CI 1.96-5.10 for high intake, while risk was lower and non-significant for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This meta-analysis provides evidence that paracetamol intake may be associated with hematologic malignancies and suggests that a dose-response effect is plausible. These results are unlikely to be due to publication bias or low quality of studies. Future research should focus on assessing the dose-response relationship.

Project description:Patients with hematologic malignancies (HMs) have a significantly elevated risk of mortality compared to other cancer patients treated in the intensive care unit (ICU). The prognostic impact of numerous poor outcome indicators has changed, and research has yielded conflicting results. This study aims to determine the ICU and hospital outcomes and risk factors that predict the prognosis of critically ill patients with HMs. In this retrospective study, conducted at a referral hospital in Taiwan, 213 adult patients with HMs who were admitted to the medical ICU were evaluated. We collected clinical data upon hospital and ICU admission. Using a multivariate regression analysis, the predictors of ICU and hospital mortality were assessed. Then, a scoring system (Hospital outcome of critically ill patients with Hematological Malignancies (HHM)) was built to predict hospital outcomes. Most HMs (76.1%) were classified as high grade, and more than one-third of patients experienced a relapsed or refractory disease. The ICU and hospital mortality rates were 55.9% and 71.8%, respectively. Moreover, the disease severity was high (median Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score: 11 and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) score: 28). The multivariate analysis revealed that high-grade HMs, invasive mechanical ventilation requirement, renal replacement therapy initiation in the ICU, and a high SOFA score correlated with ICU mortality. Furthermore, a higher HHM score predicted hospital mortality. This study demonstrates that ICU mortality primarily correlates with the severity of organ dysfunction, whereas the disease status markedly influences hospital outcomes. Furthermore, the HHM score significantly predicts hospital mortality.

Project description:BackgroundRespiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) is associated with high mortality in patients with hematologic malignancies (HM). We sought to determine whether allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) recipients would be at higher risk for 60-day mortality.MethodsWe examined a retrospective cohort of adults with HM with or without HCT treated for RSV LRTI (n = 154) at our institution from 1996-2013. We defined possible RSV LRTI as RSV detected only in the upper respiratory tract with new radiologic infiltrates and proven RSV LRTI as RSV detected in BAL fluid with new radiologic infiltrates. Immunodeficiency Scoring Index (ISI) and Severe Immunodeficiency (SID) criteria were calculated for HCT recipients. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors associated with 60-day all-cause mortality.ResultsMortality was high in HM patients (25%), but there was no difference between those without HCT, autologous or allo-HCT recipients in logistic regression models. Separate multivariate models showed that at RSV diagnosis, neutropenia (OR 8.3, 95% CI 2.8-24.2, P = 0.005) and lymphopenia (OR 3.7, 95% CI 1.7-8.2, P = 0.001) were associated with 60-day mortality. Proven LRTI was associated with higher 60-day mortality (neutropenia model: OR 4.7, 95%CI 1.7-13.5; lymphopenia model: OR 3.3, 95% CI 1.2-8.8), and higher ICU admission. In HCT recipients, high ISI and very severe immunodeficiency by SID criteria were associated with higher 60-day all-cause mortality.ConclusionsMortality is similarly high among HM patients without HCT and HCT recipients. High-grade immunodeficiency and detection of RSV from BAL fluid are associated with higher 60-day mortality.

Project description:T cell cancer neoantigens are created from peptides derived from cancer-specific aberrant proteins, such as mutated and fusion proteins, presented in complex with human leukocyte antigens on the cancer cell surface. Because expression of the aberrant target protein is exclusive to malignant cells, immunotherapy directed against neoantigens should avoid "on-target, off-tumor" toxicity. The efficacy of neoantigen vaccines in melanoma and glioblastoma and of adoptive transfer of neoantigen-specific T cells in epithelial tumors indicates that neoantigens are valid therapeutic targets. Improvements in sequencing technology and innovations in antigen discovery approaches have facilitated the identification of neoantigens. In comparison to many solid tumors, hematologic malignancies have few mutations and thus fewer potential neoantigens. Despite this, neoantigens have been identified in a wide variety of hematologic malignancies. These include mutated nucleophosmin1 and PML-RARA in acute myeloid leukemia, ETV6-RUNX1 fusions and other mutated proteins in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, BCR-ABL1 fusions in chronic myeloid leukemia, driver mutations in myeloproliferative neoplasms, immunoglobulins in lymphomas, and proteins derived from patient-specific mutations in chronic lymphoid leukemias. We will review advances in the field of neoantigen discovery, describe the spectrum of identified neoantigens in hematologic malignancies, and discuss the potential of these neoantigens for clinical translation.

Project description:Unmanipulated haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (haplo-PBSCT) has been an established treatment to cure high-risk leukemia/lymphoma. Relapse is the main cause of treatment failure for patients with relapsed/refractory disease or with very high-risk gene mutations such as TP53, TET2, and DNMT3a. In this study, we aimed to establish the tolerance and efficacy of prophylactic donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) with G-CSF-primed peripheral blood progenitors for prevention of relapse in these very high-risk patients after haplo-PBSCT. The prophylactic DLI was given at a median of 77 days after transplantation in 31 of 45 consecutive patients with very high-risk leukemia/lymphoma. The median dose of CD3+ cells for infusion was 1.8 × 107/kg. The 100-day incidences of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) grades 2-4 and 3-4 after DLI were 55.3% and 10.2%. The 2-year incidences of chronic GVHD and severe chronic GVHD were 52.0% and 18.2%. The 2-year incidences of non-relapse mortality and relapse were 33.1% and 32.5%. The 2-year probabilities of overall survival and relapse-free survival were 40.1% and 31.9%. Poor-risk gene mutations (p = 0.029), disease in non-remission status prior to transplantation (p = 0.005), and donors older than 40 years of age (p = 0.043) were associated with relapse after DLI. In multivariate analysis, disease in non-remission status prior to transplantation was an independent risk factor of relapse (hazard ratio = 4.079; p = 0.035). These data showed the feasibility of the prophylactic DLI in the haplo-PBSCT setting and the anti-leukemic efficacy in very high-risk leukemia/lymphoma.

Project description:Recurrent Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) phosphorylates multiple splicing factors, including SRSF2, and regulates the splicing of a broad range of mRNAs in human cells. Inhibition of GSK-3 disrupts splicing and promotes cell death in hematopoietic cells with heterozygous mutations in SRSF2 and not in cells with wild-type splicing factors. To characterize how GSK-3 inhibition alters the cellular proteome in SRSF2-P95H/+ cells, we have performed quantitative mass spectrometry (qMS) on K562 cells with SRSF2P95H/+ knocked into the endogenous locus (PMID 30799057) and parental K562 cells, treated with the GSK-3 inhibitor CHIR99021. We focused on the mitochondrial proteome using human proteome (UniprotKB) and mitochondrial (MitoCarta 3.0) databases for protein identification, identifying 163 mitochondrial proteins whose levels are affected by SRSF2 mutation.

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) ensure the coordinated and balanced production of all hematopoietic cell types throughout life. Aging is associated with a gradual decline of the self-renewal and regenerative potential of HSCs and with the development of clonal hematopoiesis. Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) defines the clonal expansion of genetically variant hematopoietic cells bearing one or more gene mutations and/or structural variants (such as copy number alterations). CHIP increases exponentially with age and is associated with cancers, including hematologic neoplasia, cardiovascular and other diseases. The presence of CHIP consistently increases the risk of hematologic malignancy, particularly in individuals who have CHIP in association with peripheral blood cytopenia.
