Harnessing Immune Response in Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Despite the results achieved with the evolution of conventional chemotherapy and the inclusion of targeted therapies in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), survival is still not satisfying, in particular in the setting of relapsed/refractory (R/R) disease or elderly/unfit patients. Among the most innovative therapeutic options, cellular therapy has shown great results in different hematological malignancies such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphomas, with several products already approved for clinical use. However, despite the great interest in also expanding the application

CoREST in pieces: Dismantling the CoREST complex for cancer therapy and beyond.

Several landmark studies over the past decade have uncovered a critical role of the CRL3KBTBD4 ubiquitin ligase complex in regulating stability of corepressor of repressor element 1 silencing transcription factor (CoREST) complex proteins and normal hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal. There is now mounting evidence that the CoREST complex plays oncogenic roles, although the contributions of its catalytic versus noncatalytic functions remain unclear. Here, we summarize and discuss mechanisms whereby the CoREST complex coopts tissue-specific transcription factors to elicit pathogenic activity

Histopathological Markers for Target Therapies in Primary Cutaneous Lymphomas.

In recent years, targeted (biological) therapies have become available also for primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (PCTCLs) including anti-CD30 (brentuximab vedotin) in mycosis fungoides, primary cutaneous anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma, lymphomatoid papulosis; anti-CCR4 (mogamulizumab) in Sezary syndrome; anti-CD123 (tagraxofusp) in blastic plasmocytoid cell neoplasm. Moreover, anti-PD1 (nivolumab), anti-PDL1 (pembrolizumab, atezolizumab), anti-CD52 (alemtuzumab), anti-KIR3DL2-CD158k (lacutamab), and anti-CD70 (cusatuzumab) have been tested or are under investigations in phase II trials. Th

Pleural effusion aetiology, presentation, treatment and outcome in haematological diseases: a review.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Pleural effusions (PE) can complicate the course of hematologic disorders (HD) and may arise in the form of malignant PE or as a consequence of non-neoplastic complications. While a certain amount of data has been published regarding infectious and iatrogenic HD-associated PE (HPE), no comprehensive review regarding the other types of HPE has ever been conducted. To address this issue, we performed a systematic review of the literature regarding HPE, focusing on the clinical and chemical characteristics of PE, therapeutic approaches and ì outcomes at the one-year follow-up.

The Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer consensus statement on immunotherapy for the treatment of hematologic malignancies: multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and acute leukemia.

Increasing knowledge concerning the biology of hematologic malignancies as well as the role of the immune system in the control of these diseases has led to the development and approval of immunotherapies that are resulting in impressive clinical responses. Therefore, the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) convened a hematologic malignancy Cancer Immunotherapy Guidelines panel consisting of physicians, nurses, patient advocates, and patients to develop consensus recommendations for the clinical application of immunotherapy for patients with multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and acute leukemi

Митохондриальная пригодность как функциональная контрольная точка в раке: метаболическая пластичность, эволюция опухолей и иммунотерапия.

Митохондрия все чаще признается в качестве динамичных регуляторов адаптации к раковым клеткам, иммунной функции и терапевтической реакции. Помимо их канонической роли в производстве энергии, митохондриальный метаболизм, динамика, контроль качества и сигнализация стресса влияют на выживание клеток опухоли и способность клеток иммунного эффекта поддерживать антитумберную активность в микроопухоли. В этом обзоре мы рассматриваем митохондриальную пригодность как многоаспектное функциональное достояние, включающее биоэнергетику, метаболическую гибкость, повторное гомеостаз, контроль качества митохо

CD123 as a Therapeutic Target in the Treatment of Hematological Malignancies.

The interleukin-3 receptor alpha chain (IL-3R), more commonly referred to as CD123, is widely overexpressed in various hematological malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, hairy cell leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma and particularly, blastic plasmacytoid dendritic neoplasm (BPDCN). Importantly, CD123 is expressed at both the level of leukemic stem cells (LSCs) and more differentiated leukemic blasts, which makes CD123 an attractive therapeutic target. Various agents have been developed as drugs able to target CD123 on malignant leukemic cells and o

Extramedullary Multiple Myeloma with Hepatic Involvement.

Hepatic involvement with space-occupying lesions seen in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) is a rare phenomenon. We present two cases of extramedullary multiple myeloma (EMM), with different presentations to highlight the diversity of clinical presentation. Clinically relevant hepatic involvement of myeloma is uncommon and can pose management problems. Hepatic involvement of EMM is indicative of a poor prognosis. Early recognition can help stage and prognosticate the disease.

Fasting-Mimicking Diet Inhibits Autophagy and Synergizes with Chemotherapy to Promote T-Cell-Dependent Leukemia-Free Survival.

Fasting mimicking diets (FMDs) are effective in the treatment of many solid tumors in mouse models, but their effect on hematologic malignancies is poorly understood, particularly in combination with standard therapies. Here we show that cycles of a 3-day FMD given to high-fat-diet-fed mice once a week increased the efficacy of vincristine to improve survival from BCR-ABL B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). In mice fed a standard diet, FMD cycles in combination with vincristine promoted cancer-free survival. RNA seq and protein assays revealed a vincristine-dependent decrease in the expressi

Targeting cancer stem cells with CAR-based immunotherapy: biology, evidence, and future directions.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are pivotal in tumor initiation, progression, and relapse, underscoring the need for targeted therapies to achieve lasting responses. This review delves into CSC biology, highlighting their tumor-initiating potential demonstrated through limiting dilution assays and their role in resistance to therapies. Although successful CAR therapies, such as anti-CD19 CAR T-cells, can induce complete responses without directly targeting CSCs, CAR strategies focusing on CSCs may offer promising avenues to prevent recurrence. We assess CAR therapies targeting CSC-specific antigens,

Understanding the Mechanisms of Resistance to CAR T-Cell Therapy in Malignancies.

Taking advantage of the immune system to exert an antitumor effect is currently a novel approach in cancer therapy. Adoptive transfer of T cells engineered to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) targeting a desired antigen has shown extraordinary antitumor activity, especially in refractory and relapsed B-cell malignancies. The most representative in this respect, as well as the most successful example, is CD19 CAR T-cell therapy in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). However, with the widespread use of CAR T-cell therapy, problems of resistance and relapse are starting to be co

Th17 and Treg cells in bone related diseases.

Bone-related diseases share the process of immune response that targets bone tissue and bone marrow and then induce adverse effects on structure and function. In recent years, reciprocal relationship between immune cells and bone systems has been uncovered gradually. Regulatory T (Treg) and T helper 17 (Th17) cells are newly identified subsets of CD4+ T cells, and the balance between them is particularly essential for maintaining immune homeostasis. Accumulated data have demonstrated quantitative or functional imbalance between Th17 and Treg in bone related diseases, suggesting that Th17 and T

Magrolimab Therapy in Conjunction with Conventional Chemotherapeutics Slows Disease Progression in Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patient-Derived Xenograft Models.

Background/Objectives: Magrolimab (Magro) is a humanized naked anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody that blocks the SIRPα CD47 interaction, allowing macrophages to target and destroy cancer cells. To evaluate its preclinical efficacy in vivo, Magro was tested as a single agent and in combination with conventional chemotherapy drugs, Cytarabine (Ara-C) or Azacitidine (Aza), in three pediatric AML (pAML) patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models-AML006 (KMT2A::MLLT1), AML010 (+10, WT1), and AML013 (KMT2A::MLLT4). Methods: After PDX model establishment, mice were assigned to treatment groups hulgG4 (VC, ve

C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) antagonism in precision oncology: Clinical applications and future directions.

Physiologically, the C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) signalling pathway regulates key aspects of tumor behavior (growth, metastasis, and immune evasion) and modulates immune system function. Anticancer researchers have identified peptide-based CXCR4 antagonists as promising candidates due to their high targeting specificity and favorable safety profiles. This review provides an analytical examination of CXCR4 antagonistic peptides,the selective Mavorixafor (X4P-001), an advanced, selective CXCR4 inhibitor. When Mavorixafor binds to the same location as C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12 (

An adult patient with systemic mastocytosis and B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Mastocytosis is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by clonal expansion of abnormal mast cells, ranging from the cutaneous forms of the disease to mast cell leukemia. In a significant proportion of patients, systemic mastocytosis (SM) coexists with another hematologic malignancy, termed systemic mastocytosis with an associated hematologic nonmast cell lineage disorder (SM-AHNMD). Despite the pronounced predominance of concomitant myeloid neoplasms, the much more unusual coexistence of lymphoproliferative diseases has also been reported. Imatinib mesylate (IM) has a role in the treatmen

Promising Therapeutic Strategies for Hematologic Malignancies: Innovations and Potential.

In this review we explore innovative approaches in the treatment of hematologic cancers by combining various therapeutic modalities. We discuss the synergistic potential of combining inhibitors targeting different cellular pathways with immunotherapies, molecular therapies, and hormonal therapies. Examples include combining PI3K inhibitors with proteasome inhibitors, NF-κB inhibitors with immunotherapy checkpoint inhibitors, and neddylation inhibitors with therapies targeting the tumor microenvironment. Additionally, we discuss the potential use of small molecules and peptide inhibitors in hem

Therapeutic Modulation of Autophagy in Leukaemia and Lymphoma.

Haematopoiesis is a tightly orchestrated process where a pool of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) with high self-renewal potential can give rise to both lymphoid and myeloid lineages. The HSPCs pool is reduced with ageing resulting in few HSPC clones maintaining haematopoiesis thereby reducing blood cell diversity, a phenomenon called clonal haematopoiesis. Clonal expansion of HSPCs carrying specific genetic mutations leads to increased risk for haematological malignancies. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that hematopoietic tumours develop in higher frequency in elderly peopl

Overview of Ankle Arthropathy in Hereditary Hemochromatosis.

Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is an autosomal recessive bleeding disorder characterized by tissue overload of iron. Clinical systemic manifestations in HH include liver disease, cardiomyopathy, skin pigmentation, diabetes mellitus, erectile dysfunction, hypothyroidism, and arthropathy. Arthropathy with joint pain is frequently reported at diagnosis and mainly involves the metacarpophalangeal and ankle joints, and more rarely, the hip and knee. Symptoms in ankle joints are in most cases non-specific, and they can range from pain and swelling of the ankle to deformities and joint destruction.
