Abstract
Over the last decade, significant advancements have been made in the
molecular mechanisms, diagnostic methods, prognostication, and treatment options in
hematologic malignancies. As the treatment landscape continues to expand,
personalized treatment is much more important.
With the development of new technologies, more sensitive evaluation of residual
disease using flow cytometry and next generation sequencing is possible nowadays.
Although some conventional biomarkers preserve their significance, novel potential
biomarkers accurately detect the mutational landscape of different cancers, and also,
serve as prognostic and predictive biomarkers, which can be used in evaluating therapy
responses and relapses. It is likely that we will be able to offer a more targeted and
risk-adapted therapeutic approach to patients with hematologic malignancies guided by
these potential biomarkers. This chapter summarizes the biomarkers used (or proposed
to be used) in the diagnosis and/or monitoring of hematologic neoplasms.;

Sevoflurane Inhibits lncRNA HOTAIR-Modulated Stability of HK2 mRNA in a m6A-Dependent Manner to Dampen Aerobic Glycolysis and Proliferation in Lung Cancer. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:4668774. [PMID: 35845960 PMCID: PMC9279057 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4668774] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2022] [Revised: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 05/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Previous studies have shown that sevoflurane has an inhibitory effect on tumor cells. So far, the effect of sevoflurane on hepatocellular carcinoma needs to be confirmed by more studies. HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR), a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), has been shown to enhance cancer cell proliferation and medication resistance. The inherent importance and biological function of HOTAIR in the course of lung cancer (LC) is, however, poorly unclear. HOTAIR was shown to be highly elevated in LC cells in this investigation. Impairment of function trials with sevoflurane indicated that it has anticancer effects on LC cell growth, apoptosis, and aerobic glycolysis. In a mechanistic manner, HOTAIR was related to HK2 mRNA and promoted expression and constancy. Additional research revealed that HOTAIR coupled with hexokinase 2 (HK2) mRNA and favorably controlled its stabilization in a traditional-component way. By HK2, the LC enhancement role was mediated. In summary, our data show that HOTAIR promotes the synthesis and proliferation of LC glycogen by increasing the transcription of HK2, and HOTAIR is likely to be a potential treatment for LC patients.

BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:4239500. [PMID: 35692593 PMCID: PMC9187470 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4239500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 04/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
A large number of facts have shown that epigenetic modification and metabolic reprogramming represented by noncoding RNA play an important role in the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer, but the mechanism is not clear. The purpose of our study is to find a new biomarker of breast cancer and to provide a new perspective for regulating glucose metabolism and aerobic glycolysis of BC. In this paper, by downregulating C-myc protein, our team found that the expression of long-chain noncoding RNATSPAR-AS2 was significantly downregulated. However, the expression of long-chain noncoding RNASPAR-AS2 in BC is relatively high, and the prognosis is poor. TSPEAR-AS2 can promote the malignant phenotype of BC cells, including proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and metastasis, and glycolysis. At the same time, TSPEAR-AS2 can also upregulate the expression of GLUT1, an important regulator of glycolysis, thus promoting the metabolic reprogramming of BC. Molecular mechanism experiments show that TSPEAR-AS2 may promote the expression of GLUT1 by participating in IGF2BP2 modified by the GLUT1 gene. Our results suggest that the C-myc/TSPEAR-AS2/GLUT1 axis promotes the invasion and metastasis of BC by inducing glucose metabolism reprogramming. However, more phenotypic and molecular mechanism results need to be further verified.

Abstract
Simple Summary Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) represent a leading component of the tumor microenvironment in hematologic malignancies. TAM could display antitumor activity or, conversely, could contribute to tumor growth and survival, depending on their polarization. TAM are polarized towards form M1, with a pro-inflammatory phenotype and an antineoplastic activity, or M2, with an alternately activated phenotype, associated with a poor outcome in patients presenting with leukemia, lymphoma or multiple myeloma. The molecular mechanisms of TAM in different types of hematologic malignancies are different due to the peculiar microenvironment of each disease. TAM could contribute to tumor progression, reduced apoptosis and angiogenesis; a different TAM polarization could explain a reduced treatment response in patients with a similar disease subtype. The aim of our review is to better define the role of TAM in patients with leukemia, lymphoma or multiple myeloma. Finally, we would like to focus on TAM as a possible target for antineoplastic therapy. Abstract The tumor microenvironment includes dendritic cells, T-cytotoxic, T-helper, reactive B-lymphoid cells and macrophages; these reactive cells could interplay with malignant cells and promote tumor growth and survival. Among its cellular components, tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) represent a component of the innate immune system and play an important role, especially in hematologic malignancies. Depending on the stimuli that trigger their activation, TAM are polarized towards form M1, contributing to antitumor responses, or M2, associated with tumor progression. Many studies demonstrated a correlation between TAM, disease progression and the patient’s outcome in lymphoproliferative neoplasms, such as Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), even if with conflicting results. A critical hurdle to overcome is surely represented by the heterogeneity in the choice of the optimal markers and methods used for TAM analysis (gene-expression profile vs. immunohistochemistry, CD163vs. CD68vs. CD163/CD68 double-positive cells). TAM have been recently linked to the development and progression of multiple myeloma and leukemia, with a critical role in the homing of malignant cells, drug resistance, immune suppression and angiogenesis. As such, this review will summarize the role of TAM in different hematologic malignancies, focusing on the complex interplay between TAM and tumor cells, the prognostic value of TAM and the possible TAM-targeted therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
The microenvironment that surrounds a tumor, in addition to the tumor itself, plays an important role in the onset of resistance to molecularly targeted therapies. Cancer cells and their microenvironment interact closely between them by means of a molecular communication that mutually influences their biological characteristics and behavior. Leukemia cells regulate the recruitment, activation and program of the cells of the surrounding microenvironment, including those of the immune system. Studies on the interactions between the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) cells have opened a scenario of potential therapeutic targets which include cytokines and their receptors, signal transduction networks, and hypoxia-related proteins. Hypoxia also enhances the formation of new blood vessels, and several studies show how angiogenesis could have a key role in the pathogenesis of ALL. Knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying tumor-microenvironment communication and angiogenesis could contribute to the early diagnosis of leukemia and to personalized molecular therapies.

Abstract
Severe bleeding is a major cause of death in acute leukemia (AL) patients with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogene hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, the prognostic value and prediction of HSCT-associated severe bleeding in GVHD patients have not been reported in cohort studies. We did a retrospective analysis of 200 AL patients with GVHD after allo-HSCT from Feb 1, 2014, to Dec 1, 2015. Multivariate analysis showed that the severe bleeding class was associated with the risk of death (HR 2.26, 95% CI 1.31-3.92, p<0.001***). In order to predict severe bleeding and figure out the solution to bleeding events, we established a multiple logistic regression model. HLA-DQB1 unmatching, megakaryocyte reconsititution failure, and III or IV GVHD were the independent risk factors for severe bleeding. Among all the variations above, OR of HLA-DQB1 was the highest (OR: 16.02, 95% CI: 11.54-48.68). Adding HLA-DQB1 to other factors improved the reclassification for predicting severe bleeding (NRI=0.195, z=2.634, p=0.008**; IDI=0.289, z=3.249, p<0.001***). Lasso regression was used to select variants. A nomogram of the logistic model was generated and displayed. Calibration curve demonstrated excellent accuracy in estimating severe bleeding (C index of 0.935). HLA-DQB1 showed excellent efficacy of predicting severe bleeding in HSCT patients.
