Abstract
A supply of hormone-producing cells from stem/progenitor cells is critical to sustain the endocrine activity of the pituitary gland. In the adenohypophysis composing the anterior and intermediate lobe (AL and IL, respectively), stem/progenitor cells expressing sex-determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2) and S100β are located in the marginal cell layer (MCL) facing Rathke's cleft (primary niche) and the parenchyma of the AL (secondary niche). Our previous studies using mice and rats indicated that the tetraspanin superfamily CD9 and CD81 are expressed in S100β/SOX2-positive cells of primary and secondary niches (named CD9/CD81/S100β/SOX2-positive cell), and the cells located in the AL-side niches exhibit plasticity and multipotency. However, it is unclear whether CD9/CD81/S100β/SOX2-positive cells in the IL-side primary niche are stem/progenitor cells for the AL or IL. Here, we successfully isolated pure CD9/CD81/S100β/SOX2-positive cells from the IL-side primary niche. They had a higher level of S100β and SOX2 mRNA and a greater pituisphere forming capacity than those of CD9/CD81/S100β/SOX2-positive cells isolated from the AL. They also had capacity to differentiate into all types of adenohypophyseal hormone-producing cells, concomitantly with the loss of CD9 expression. Loss of CD9 and CD81 function in CD9/CD81/S100β/SOX2-positive cells by siRNA treatment impaired prolactin cell differentiation. Consistently, in the pituitary gland of CD9/CD81 double knockout mice, dysgenesis of the MCL and a lower population of prolactin cells were observed. These results suggest that the CD9/CD81/S100β/SOX2-positive cells in the MCL of the IL-side are potential suppliers of adult core stem cells in the AL.

Abstract
There is an unmet need for novel biomarkers in the diagnosis of multifactorial COPD. We applied next-generation proteomics to serum extracellular vesicles (EVs) to discover novel COPD biomarkers. EVs from 10 patients with COPD and six healthy controls were analysed by tandem mass tag-based non-targeted proteomics, and those from elastase-treated mouse models of emphysema were also analysed by non-targeted proteomics. For validation, EVs from 23 patients with COPD and 20 healthy controls were validated by targeted proteomics. Using non-targeted proteomics, we identified 406 proteins, 34 of which were significantly upregulated in patients with COPD. Of note, the EV protein signature from patients with COPD reflected inflammation and remodelling. We also identified 63 upregulated candidates from 1956 proteins by analysing EVs isolated from mouse models. Combining human and mouse biomarker candidates, we validated 45 proteins by targeted proteomics, selected reaction monitoring. Notably, levels of fibulin-3, tripeptidyl-peptidase 2, fibulin-1, and soluble scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domain-containing protein were significantly higher in patients with COPD. Moreover, six proteins; fibulin-3, tripeptidyl-peptidase 2, UTP-glucose-1-phosphate uridylyl transferase, CD81, CD177, and oncoprotein-induced transcript 3, were correlated with emphysema. Upregulation of fibulin-3 was confirmed by immunoblotting of EVs and immunohistochemistry in lungs. Strikingly, fibulin-3 knockout mice spontaneously developed emphysema with age, as evidenced by alveolar enlargement and elastin destruction. We discovered potential pathogenic biomarkers for COPD using next-generation proteomics of EVs. This is a novel strategy for biomarker discovery and precision medicine. This study identified novel biomarkers for COPD using next-generation proteomics of serum extracellular vesicles. Notably, the expression of fibulin-3 is correlated with lung function and emphysema. This could be useful for personalised medicine.https://bit.ly/2JfRCgk

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Child-Pugh A cirrhosis has been demonstrated as beneficial. However, the role of laparoscopy in Child-Pugh B cirrhosis is undetermined. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to compare open and laparoscopic resection for HCC with Child-Pugh B cirrhosis. METHODS Data on liver resections were gathered from 17 centres. A 1 : 1 propensity score matching was performed according to 17 predefined variables. RESULTS Of 382 available liver resections, 100 laparoscopic and 100 open resections were matched and analysed. The 90-day postoperative mortality rate was similar in open and laparoscopic groups (4.0 versus 2.0 per cent respectively; P = 0.687). Laparoscopy was associated with lower blood loss (median 110 ml versus 400 ml in the open group; P = 0.004), less morbidity (38.0 versus 51.0 per cent respectively; P = 0.041) and fewer major complications (7.0 versus 21.0 per cent; P = 0.010), and ascites was lower on postoperative days 1, 3 and 5. For laparoscopic resections, patients with portal hypertension developed more complications than those without (26 versus 12 per cent respectively; P = 0.002), and patients with a Child-Pugh B9 score had higher morbidity rates than those with B8 and B7 (7 of 8, 10 of 16 and 21 of 76 respectively; P < 0.001). Median hospital stay was 7.5 (range 2-243) days for laparoscopic liver resection and 18 (3-104) days for the open approach (P = 0.058). The 5-year overall survival rate was 47 per cent for open and 65 per cent for laparoscopic resection (P = 0.142). The 5-year disease-free survival rate was 32 and 37 per cent respectively (P = 0.742). CONCLUSION Patients without preoperative portal hypertension and Child-Pugh B7 cirrhosis may benefit most from laparoscopic liver surgery.

Abstract
While both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are multifactorial disorders characterized by distinct clinical and pathological features, their commonalities and differences have not been fully elucidated. We sought to investigate the preventive roles of tetraspanins Cd151 and Cd9 -that are involved in diverse cellular processes in lung pathophysiology- in pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema, respectively, and to obtain a deeper understanding of their underlying molecular mechanisms toward facilitating improved therapeutic outcomes. Using an integrative approach, we examined the transcriptomic changes in the lungs of Cd151- and Cd9-deficient mice using functional-enrichment-analysis, pathway-perturbation-analysis and protein-protein-interaction (PPI) network analysis. Circadian-rhythm, extracellular-matrix (ECM), cell-adhesion and inflammatory responses and associated factors were prominently influenced by Cd151-deletion. Conversely, cellular-junctions, focal-adhesion, vascular-remodeling, and TNF-signaling were deeply impacted by Cd9-deletion. We also highlighted a “common core” of factors and signaling cascades that underlie the functions of both Cd151 and Cd9 in lung pathology. Circadian dysregulation following Cd151-deletion seemingly facilitated progressive fibrotic lung phenotype. Conversely, TGF-β signaling attenuation and TNF-signaling activation emerged as potentially novel functionaries of Cd9-deletion-induced emphysema. Our findings offer promising avenues for developing novel therapeutic treatments for pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiac allograft vasculopathy is a combination of the development of de novo plaque and the progression of donor-transmitted plaque.
Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate the development of de novo plaque and the progression of donor-transmitted plaque within 12-month after heart transplantation (HTx) using serial intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The association between inflammatory cytokines and plaque progression was also examined.
Methods
We prospectively enrolled 40 recipients to conduct serial three-vessel IVUS and OCT analysis at 8-week and 12-month after HTx. De novo plaque was defined as having maximum intimal thickness (MIT) ≥0.5 mm at 12-month in the absence of donor-transmitted plaques (MIT ≥0.5 mm at 8-week). Serum cytokines were screened with a bead-based multiplex assay.
Results
A total of 13 de novo plaques (fibrous, n=10; fibroatheroma, n=3) were detected in eight recipients. Serum interleukin (IL)-31 at 8-week was associated with the development of de novo plaques (p=0.009). A total of 31 donor-transmitted plaques (fibrous, n=12; fibroatheroma, n=11; fibrocalcific, n=8) were detected in 17 recipients. Multiple regression analysis revealed that fibrous (p=0.026) and fibroatheroma (p=0.012) observed at 8-week were significantly associated with subsequent plaque progression within 12-month after HTx. ΔPlaque burden was significant higher in de novo plaque than donor-transmitted plaque (38.8% [29.6–41.2] versus 8.7% [1.3–13.6], p<0.001). The prevalence of macrophage accumulation was lower in de novo plaque than in donor-transmitted plaque (8% versus 52%, p=0.006). Serum IL-31 at 8-week was correlated with the progression of donor-transmitted plaque as well as de novo plaque (r=0.663, p=0.029) although other cytokines like IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, and tissue necrotic factor alpha were not.
Conclusions
In de novo plaques, fibrous plaque was the most common and macrophage accumulation was rarely observed. In donor-transmitted plaque, fibrous and fibroatheroma were independent predictor for the subsequent plaque progression. Serum interleukin-31 surge at subacute phase may play pathogenic role in cardiac allograft vasculopathy.

Abstract
Combined small cell lung cancer (c‐SCLC) is a relatively rare subtype of SCLC and is defined by the combination of SCLC and any elements of non‐small cell carcinoma (NSCLC). Standard chemotherapy for patients with c‐SCLC has not yet been established. Gene mutations such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations may be detected in patients with c‐SCLC. However, little is known about anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement in c‐SCLC patients. Here, we report a young female patient who was successfully treated with alectinib for ALK‐positive c‐SCLC after failure of immunochemotherapy for SCLC and cytotoxic chemotherapy for adenocarcinoma. Moreover, we performed a literature review of EGFR‐ or ALK‐positive c‐SCLC patients. Our report suggests that ALK testing may be justified in patients with SCLC that contain an adenocarcinoma component. Key points Significant findings of the study • This is the first report describing the treatment course comprising immunochemotherapy and ALK‐TKI in a patient with c‐SCLC harboring ALK rearrangement. What this study adds • Our case and literature review suggest that although ALK mutation is rare in patients with c‐SCLC, its identification and treatment with ALK‐TKIs may contribute to clinical benefits.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a severe lung disease with poor survival that warrants early and precise diagnosis for timely therapeutic intervention. Despite accumulating genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and lipidomic data on IPF, evidence from water‐soluble metabolomics is limited. To identify biomarkers for IPF from water‐soluble metabolomic data, we measured the levels of various metabolites in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and serum samples from a bleomycin‐induced murine pulmonary fibrotic model using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Thirty‐two of 73 BALF metabolites and 29 of 74 serum metabolites were annotated. We observed that the levels of proline and methionine were higher in BALF but lower in serum than those in the control. Furthermore, analysis of public RNA‐Seq data from the lungs of patients with IPF revealed that proline‐ and methionine‐related genes were significantly upregulated compared to those in the lungs of healthy controls. These results suggest that proline and methionine may be potential biomarkers for IPF and may help to deepen our understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease. Based on our results, we propose a model capable of recapitulating the proline and methionine metabolism of fibrotic lungs, thereby providing better means for studying the disease and developing novel therapeutic strategies for IPF.

Abstract
Modification of the gap at the Dirac point (DP) in axion antiferromagnetic topological insulator [Formula: see text] and its electronic and spin structure have been studied by angle- and spin-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) under laser excitation at various temperatures (9-35 K), light polarizations and photon energies. We have distinguished both large (60-70 meV) and reduced ([Formula: see text]) gaps at the DP in the ARPES dispersions, which remain open above the Neél temperature ([Formula: see text]). We propose that the gap above [Formula: see text] remains open due to a short-range magnetic field generated by chiral spin fluctuations. Spin-resolved ARPES, XMCD and circular dichroism ARPES measurements show a surface ferromagnetic ordering for the "large gap" sample and apparently significantly reduced effective magnetic moment for the "reduced gap" sample. These observations can be explained by a shift of the Dirac cone (DC) state localization towards the second Mn layer due to structural disturbance and surface relaxation effects, where DC state is influenced by compensated opposite magnetic moments. As we have shown by means of ab-initio calculations surface structural modification can result in a significant modulation of the DP gap.

Abstract
Objectives The genetic background of rheumatoid arthritis–interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) has been evaluated in Europeans, but little knowledge has been obtained in non-Europeans. This study aimed to elucidate genome-wide risk of RA-ILD in non-Europeans. Methods We performed an initial genome-wide association study (GWAS) of RA-ILD in the Japanese population. By conducting the meta-analysis of the three GWAS datasets of the RA cohorts and biobank of Japanese, our study included 358 RA-ILD cases and 4550 RA subjects without ILD. We then conducted the stratified analysis of the effect of the GWAS risk allele in each CT image pattern. Results We identified one novel RA-ILD risk locus at 7p21 that satisfied the genome-wide significance threshold (rs12702634 at RPA3-UMAD1, OR=2.04, 95% CI 1.59 to 2.60, p=1.5×10−8). Subsequent stratified analysis based on the CT image patterns demonstrated that the effect size of the RA-ILD risk allele (rs12702634-C) was large with the UIP pattern (OR=1.86, 95% CI 0.97 to 3.58, p=0.062) and the probable UIP pattern (OR=2.26, 95% CI 1.36 to 3.73, p=0.0015). Conclusion We revealed one novel genetic association with RA-ILD in Japanese. The RA-ILD risk of the identified variant at RPA3-UMAD1 was relatively high in the CT image patterns related to fibrosis. Our study should contribute to elucidation of the complicated aetiology of RA-ILD.

Abstract
Cryosurgery is a recognized method for the treatment of mucoceles in the oral cavity. In this study, cryosurgery was used for mucoceles at the lip or buccal mucosa, and the effect and the indication were evaluated clinically. The subjects were patients with a clinical diagnosis of mucocele on the lip or buccal mucosa and who chose cryosurgery after procedures for both surgical excision and cryosurgery for the lesion were explained. Cryosurgery was performed with a freezing device using liquid nitrogen without local anesthesia. Twenty-four patients chose cryosurgery, including seven preschool children. There were no serious adverse events during and after cryosurgery. Healing progress after cryosurgery was not affected by patient age, lesion size, or how long the patients had the lesion. Two cases later underwent surgical excision because cryosurgery was not successful. Twenty-three patients chose surgical excision, one case had a recurrence. The number of younger patients who chose cryosurgery was significantly higher than that who chose surgical excision. This study suggests that cryosurgery is effective for mucoceles of the lip or buccal mucosa and is a simple and safe treatment method, especially for preschool children.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Appropriate pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) use may effectively decrease mortality in acute heart failure patients. The concept that the pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) is a valuable tool for hemodynamic monitoring when used in appropriately selected patients and by physicians trained well to interpret and apply the data correctly provided has not been evaluated adequately yet in acute heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Methods
The PERSUIT-HFpEF Registry is a prospective, observational, multicenter cohort study on prognosis of HFpEF in Japan. Patients hospitalized for heart failure (diagnosed by using Framingham criteria) who met both of the following criteria were enrolled: 1) a left ventricular ejection fraction of 50% or more as measured at the local site by echocardiography; 2) an elevated level of N terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT proBNP) (400 pg per milliliter or more) or brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) (100 pg per milliliter or more). In the present study, we evaluated the impact of PAC on all-cause death of the patients with HFpEF. PAC use was left at the discretion of attending physicians.
Results
The PERSUIT-HFpEF Registry enrolled 486 patients (81±9 years, 259 females, mean follow-up duration 198±195 days). Of these, data of PAC usage was available in 434 patients. Patients were further stratified according to use of a PAC: PAC 153 patients vs. non-PAC 281 patients. Length of hospitalization was numerically shorter in the PAC group than in the non-PAC group [20.3±14.7 vs. 22.5±17.4 days, p=0.182]. Kaplan-Meier estimated 1-year all-cause death rate was significantly lower in the PAC group than in the non-PAC group (9.5% vs. 19.1%, p=0.019). PAC use was associated with significant risk reduction of all-cause death [hazard ratio (HR) 0.425, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.203–0.890, p=0.023] in the crude analysis. The significant risk reduction still existed after multivariate adjustment including potential confounders [HR 0.427, 95% CI, 0.185–0.984, p=0.046]
Kaplan Meier analysis
Conclusions
In the real-world Asian registry data, PAC use was associated with the improved all-cause death rate, suggesting that the PAC might be a useful guidance tool for treatment of the patients with HFpEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hepatokine selenoprotein P (SeP) contributes to insulin resistance and hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes. Inhibition of SeP protects the heart from ischemia reperfusion injury and serum levels of SeP are elevated in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
Objective
We investigated the role of SeP in the regulation of cardiac remodeling in response to pressure overload.
Methods and results
To examine the role of SeP in cardiac remodeling, transverse aortic constriction (TAC) was subjected to SeP knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice for 2 weeks. Hepatic expression of SeP in WT was significantly increased by TAC. LV weight/tibial length (TL) was significantly smaller in SeP KO mice than in WT mice (6.75±0.24 vs 8.33±0.32, p<0.01). Lung weight/TL was significantly smaller in SeP KO than in WT mice (10.46±0.44 vs 16.38±1.12, p<0.05). TAC-induced cardiac upregulation of the fetal type genes, including atrial and brain natriuretic factors, was significantly attenuated in SeP KO compared to WT. Furthermore, azan staining revealed that there was significantly less interstitial fibrosis in hearts after TAC in SeP KO than in WT mice. To determine whether hepatic overexpression of SeP affects TAC-induced cardiac hypertrophy, a hydrodynamic injection method was used to generate mice that overexpress SeP mRNA in the liver. Hepatic overexpression of SeP in SeP KO mice lead to a significant increase in LV weight/TL and Lung weight/TL after TAC compared to that in other SeP KO mice.
Conclusions
These results suggest that cardiac pressure overload induced hepatic expression of SeP and the absence of endogenous SeP attenuated cardiac hypertrophy, dysfunction and fibrosis in response to pressure overload in mice. SeP possibly plays a maladaptive role against progression of heart failure through the liver-heart axis.

Abstract
Recent clinical trials have demonstrated that anti‐PD‐1 blocking antibodies showed remarkable clinical efficacy in a subset of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Clinical trials usually exclude patients with renal dysfunction who are receiving hemodialysis (HD). Therefore, it is unclear whether these patients can be safely and effectively treated with pembrolizumab. Here, we present a non‐small cell lung cancer patient on HD who achieved complete remission after one dose of pembrolizumab without severe adverse events. We assessed pembrolizumab binding to peripheral blood T cells in this patient using a method that we recently developed. This is the first report to visualize pembrolizumab binding to T cells in a patient on HD during and after pembrolizumab treatment. The pharmacokinetics of pembrolizumab in this case were similar to those in patients with normal renal function, suggesting that severe renal dysfunction has little influence on the metabolism of pembrolizumab, and is not a contraindication for anti‐PD‐1 treatment. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, including pembrolizumab, may be a vital therapeutic option for lung cancer patients on HD.

Abstract
This study conducted mercury (Hg) isotopic analysis, which has been expected as a new indicator for understanding the behavior of atmospheric Hg. The dominant atmospheric Hg species, namely gaseous elemental mercury (GEM, Hg0), were collected at the Cape Hedo Atmosphere and Aerosol Monitoring Station (CHAAMS) in Okinawa, Japan, for evaluating possible source(s) and transformation process(es) of Hg. The Hg isotopic compositions of GEM samples showed that the mass-dependent fractionation (MDF) of δ202Hg and the mass-independent fractionation (MIF) of Δ199Hg ranged from -2.15‰ to 0.79‰ and from -0.32‰ to 0.00‰, respectively. The results were classified into two groups: (1) negative δ202Hg and near-zero Δ199Hg in summer and (2) near-zero δ202Hg and negative Δ199Hg in the other season. According to the NOAA Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model, the dominant air masses traveled from East Asia during winter and South and East Asia during summer. However, the air masses also traveled from mainland Japan and rotated around Okinawa before reaching CHAAMS. In contrast, clear positive correlations between δ202Hg values and CO and PM2.5 concentrations were observed during summer. A small peak of Ox concentration was observed at three atmospheric monitoring stations, namely Nago, Naha, and Miyako Island during summer. Since Miyako Island is located ∼370 km southwest of CHAAMS, the main emission source of GEM transported to CHAAMS was not from mainland Okinawa but traveled from the southwest during summer.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Root amputation, immunosuppressive therapy, mandibular tooth extraction, pre-existing inflammation, and longer duration of treatment with bone-modifying agents were significantly associated with an increased risk of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. Hopeless teeth should be extracted without drug holiday before the development of inflammation in cancer patients receiving high-dose bone-modifying agents. INTRODUCTION No studies have comprehensively analyzed the influence of pre-existing inflammation, surgical procedure-related factors such as primary wound closure, demographic factors, and drug holiday on the incidence of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). The purpose of this study was to retrospectively investigate the relationships between these various factors and the development of MRONJ after tooth extraction in cancer patients receiving high-dose bone-modifying agents (BMAs) such as bisphosphonates or denosumab. METHODS Risk factors for MRONJ after tooth extraction were evaluated with univariate and multivariate analyses. The following parameters were investigated in all patients: demographics, type and duration of BMA use, whether BMA use was discontinued before tooth extraction (drug holiday), the duration of such discontinuation, the presence of pre-existing inflammation, and whether additional surgical procedures (e.g., incision, removal of bone edges, root amputation) were performed. RESULTS We found that root amputation (OR = 22.62), immunosuppressive therapy (OR = 16.61), extraction of mandibular teeth (OR = 12.14), extraction of teeth with pre-existing inflammation, and longer duration (≥ 8 months) of high-dose BMA (OR = 7.85) were all significantly associated with MRONJ. CONCLUSIONS Tooth extraction should not necessarily be postponed in cancer patients receiving high-dose BMA. The effectiveness of a short-term drug holiday was not confirmed, as drug holidays had no significant impact on MRONJ incidence. Tooth extraction may be acceptable during high-dose BMA therapy until 8 months after initiation.

Abstract
Although responses to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are initially positive, 30%-40% of patients with EGFR-mutant tumors do not respond well to EGFR-TKIs, and most lung cancer patients harboring EGFR mutations experience relapse with resistance. Therefore, it is necessary to identify not only the mechanisms underlying EGFR-TKI resistance, but also potentially novel therapeutic targets and/or predictive biomarkers for EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma. We found that the GPI-anchored protein semaphorin 7A (SEMA7A) is highly induced by the EGFR pathway, via mTOR signaling, and that expression levels of SEMA7A in human lung adenocarcinoma specimens were correlated with mTOR activation. Investigations using cell culture and animal models demonstrated that loss or overexpression of SEMA7A made cells less or more resistant to EGFR-TKIs, respectively. The resistance was due to the inhibition of apoptosis by aberrant activation of ERK. The ERK signal was suppressed by knockdown of integrin β1 (ITGB1). Furthermore, in patients with EGFR mutant tumors, higher SEMA7A expression in clinical samples predicted poorer response to EGFR-TKI treatment. Collectively, these data show that the SEMA7A-ITGB1 axis plays pivotal roles in EGFR-TKI resistance mediated by ERK activation and apoptosis inhibition. Moreover, our results reveal the potential utility of SEMA7A not only as a predictive biomarker, but also as a potentially novel therapeutic target in EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND. The PD-1–blocking antibody nivolumab persists in patients several weeks after the last infusion. However, no study has systematically evaluated the maximum duration that the antibody persists on T cells or the association between this duration and residual therapeutic efficacy or potential adverse events. METHODS. To define the duration of binding and residual efficacy of nivolumab after discontinuation, we developed a simplified strategy for T cell monitoring and used it to analyze T cells from peripheral blood from 11 non–small cell lung cancer patients previously treated with nivolumab. To determine the suitability of our method for other applications, we compared transcriptome profiles between nivolumab-bound and nivolumab-unbound CD8 T cells. We also applied T cell monitoring in 2 nivolumab-treated patients who developed progressive lung tumors during long-term follow-up. RESULTS. Prolonged nivolumab binding was detected more than 20 weeks after the last infusion, regardless of the total number of nivolumab infusions (2–15 doses) or type of subsequent treatment, in 9 of the 11 cases in which long-term monitoring was possible. Ki-67 positivity, a proliferation marker, in T cells decreased in patients with progressive disease. Transcriptome profiling identified the signals regulating activation of nivolumab-bound T cells, which may contribute to nivolumab resistance. In 2 patients who restarted nivolumab, T cell proliferation markers exhibited the opposite trend and correlated with clinical response. CONCLUSIONS. Although only a few samples were analyzed, our strategy of monitoring both nivolumab binding and Ki-67 in T cells might help determine residual efficacy under various types of concurrent or subsequent treatment.
