Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the function and underlying mechanism of cysteine and glycine-rich protein 2 (CSRP2) in neuroblastoma (NB). METHODS The correlation between the expression level of CSRP2 mRNA and the prognosis of NB children in NB clinical samples was analyzed in R2 Genomics Analysis and Visualization Platform. The small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting CSRP2 or CSRP2 plasmid were transfected to NB cell lines SK-N-BE(2) and SH-SY5Y. Cell proliferation was observed by crystal violet staining and real-time cellular analysis. The ability of colony formation of NB cells was observed by colony-forming unit assay. Immunofluorescence assay was used to detect the expression of the proliferation marker Ki-67. Flow cytometry analysis for cell cycle proportion was used with cells stained by propidium iodide (PI). Annexin V/7AAD was used to stain cells and analyze the percentage of cell apoptosis. The ability of cell migration was determined by cell wound-healing assay. The level of protein and mRNA expression of CSRP2 in NB primary tumor and NB cell lines were detected by Western blot and quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). RESULTS By analyzing the NB clinical sample databases, it was found that the expression levels of CSRP2 in high-risk NB with 3/4 stages in international neuroblastoma staging system (INSS) were significantly higher than that in low-risk NB with 1/2 INSS stages. The NB patients with high expression levels of CSRP2 were shown lower overall survival rate than those with low expression levels of CSRP2. We detected the protein levels of CSRP2 in the NB samples by Western blot, and found that the protein level of CSRP2 in 3/4 INSS stages was significantly higher than that in 1/2 INSS stages. Knockdown of CSRP2 inhibited cell viability and proliferation of NB cells. Overexpression of CSRP2 increased the proliferation of NB cells. Flow cytometry showed that the proportion of sub-G1, G0/G1 and S phase cells and Annexin V positive cells were increased after CSRP2 deficiency. In the cell wound-healing assay, the healing rate of NB cells was significantly attenuated after knockdown of CSRP2. Further mechanism studies showed that the proportion of the proliferation marker Ki-67 and the phosphorylation levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) were significantly decreased after CSRP2 knockdown. CONCLUSION CSRP2 is highly expressed in high-risk NB with 3/4 INSS stages, and the expression levels of CSRP2 are negatively correlated with the overall survival of NB patients. CSRP2 significantly increased the proliferation and cell migration of NB cells and inhibited cell apoptosis via the activation of ERK1/2. All these results indicate that CSRP2 promotes the progression of NB by activating ERK1/2, and this study will provide a potential target for high-risk NB therapy.

Risk factors, impact and treatment of postoperative lymphatic leakage in children with abdominal neuroblastoma operated on by laparotomy. BMC Surg 2024; 24:168. [PMID: 38811926 PMCID: PMC11134958 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-024-02459-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lymphatic leakage is one of the postoperative complications of neuroblastoma. The purpose of this study is to summarize the clinical characteristics and risk factors of lymphatic leakage and try to find effective prevention and treatment measures. METHODS A retrospective study included 186 children with abdominal neuroblastoma, including 32 children of lymphatic leakage and 154 children of non-lymphatic leakage. The clinical information, surgical data, postoperative abdominal drainage, treatment of lymphatic leakage and prognosis of the two groups were collected and analyzed. RESULTS The incidence of lymphatic leakage in this cohort was 14% (32 children). Through univariate analysis of lymphatic leakage group and non-lymphatic leakage group, we found that lymphatic leakage increased the complications, prolonged the time of abdominal drainage and hospitalization, and delayed postoperative chemotherapy (p < 0.05). In this cohort, the median follow-up time was 46 (95% CI: 44-48) months. The follow-up data of 7 children were partially missing. 147 children survived, of which 23 had tumor recurrence (5 children recurred in the surgical area). 37 children died, of which 32 had tumor recurrence (9 children recurred in the operation area). In univariate analysis, there was no statistical difference in overall survival (p = 0.21) and event-free survival (p = 0.057) between lymphatic leakage group and non-lymphatic leakage group, while 3-year cumulative incidence of local progression was higher in lymphatic leakage group (p = 0.015). However, through multivariate analysis, we found that lymphatic leakage did not affect event-free survival, overall survival and cumulative incidence of local progression in children with neuroblastoma. Resection of 5 or more lymphatic regions was an independent risk factor for lymphatic leakage after neuroblastoma surgery. All 32 children with lymphatic leakage were cured by conservative treatment without surgery. Of these, 75% (24/32) children were cured by fat-free diet or observation, 25% (8/32) children were cured by total parenteral nutrition. The median drain output at diagnosis in total parenteral nutrition group was higher than that in non-total parenteral nutrition group (p < 0.001). The cut-off value was 17.2 ml/kg/day. CONCLUSIONS Lymphatic leakage does not affect the prognosis of children with neuroblastoma, but long-term drain output caused by lymphatic leakage will still adversely affect postoperative complications and follow-up treatment, which requires attention and active treatment measures. More attention should be paid to the children with 5 or more lymphatic regions resection, and the injured lymphatic vessels should be actively found and ligated after tumor resection to reduce the postoperative lymphatic leakage. Early application of total parenteral nutrition is recommended for those who have drain output at diagnosis of greater than 17.2 ml/kg/day. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, Treatment study (Retrospective comparative study).

Estimation of the optimal radiotherapy utilization rate for childhood neuroblastoma. Radiother Oncol 2024; 197:110343. [PMID: 38806114 DOI: 10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The optimal utilization rate of radiotherapy (oRUR) serves as a benchmark for assessing service demand and improving access to cancer care. While it is estimated that approximately 50 % of adult cancer patients require external beam radiotherapy during their treatment, there is a scarcity of data regarding the optimal use of radiotherapy in pediatric cancer. In this study, we adopted an established method and developed a model to estimate the oRUR in childhood neuroblastoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS We developed a decision tree model to calculate the oRUR using indications for radiotherapy and corresponding epidemiological data collected through systematic review and meta-analysis. Sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate the impact of variations in radiotherapy indications between treatment protocols and variables in the model. We calculated and compared the oRUR for global, high-income, and low- and middle-income settings. RESULTS The oRUR for pediatric neuroblastoma was 64 % (95 % CI: 58 %-71 %) in the global setting, 50 % in high-income countries, and 68 % in low- and middle-income countries. The impact of variation in radiotherapy indications between major international treatment protocols was negligible. CONCLUSION The knowledge of oRUR is crucial for evaluating current practices, identifying gaps in access, and planning future radiotherapy services for treating childhood cancer. Based on our results, 64 % of children with neuroblastoma have an indication for radiotherapy. Patients in low- and middle-income countries have more indications for radiotherapy than those in high-income countries, due to a more adverse tumour stage distribution caused by limited access to healthcare resources.

Zhang Z, Li D, Xie F, Zhang H. The causal relationship between gut microbiota and neuroblastoma: a bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis and meta-analysis. Microbiol Spectr 2024; 12:e0365623. [PMID: 38411074 PMCID: PMC10986465 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.03656-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Neuroblastoma (NB) is a type of neuroectodermal tumor that originates from primitive sympathetic ganglion cells. Although many risk factors contributing to the occurrence of NB have been reported in recent years, the role of the gut microbiota in its development remains unclear. A bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was conducted to elucidate the causal relationship between the gut microbiota and NB. In the MR analysis, we employed the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method as the primary criterion for assessing causality, while also utilizing three additional approaches, including MR-Egger, weighted median model, and weighted mode, for comprehensive evaluation. For gut microbiota that were causally associated with NB, a reverse MR was also used to assess the stability of this causal relationship. Finally, we also used external cohorts for validation and performed a meta-analysis of the results. The IVW results indicated a causal relationship between six gut microbiota and NB. Among the six gut microbiota, genus Lachnospiraceae [IVW odds ratio (OR): 2.66, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.09-6.51, P value: 0.03] exhibited a detrimental effect against NB. On the other hand, the class Actinobacteria (IVW OR: 0.24, 95% CI: 0.07-0.77, P value: 0.02), the family Bifidobacteriaceae (IVW OR: 0.40, 95% CI: 0.17-0.96, P value: 0.04), the genus Desulfovibrio (IVW OR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.25-0.97, P value: 0.04), the genus Bifidobacterium (IVW OR: 0.39, 95% CI: 0.16-0.92, P value: 0.03), and the genus Howardella (IVW OR: 0.55, 95% CI: 0.31-0.97, P value: 0.04) displayed a protective effect on NB. A reverse MR analysis did not reveal a causality between NB and the six gut microbiota. Meta-analysis showed that genus Bifidobacterium (meta OR: 0.41, 95% CI: 0.22-0.75, P < 0.01) and genus Lachnospiraceae (meta OR: 2.20, 95% CI: 1.01-4.79, P < 0.05) were still significant. IMPORTANCE Bidirectional Mendelian randomization was used to explore the causality between gut microbiota and neuroblastoma (NB). The results showed that there is a causal relationship between the six gut microbiota and NB, of which two gut microbiota were further confirmed in the meta-analysis. This may provide a new perspective on the prevention and treatment of NB.

Abstract
Background With the development of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), China implemented measures in an attempt to control the infection rate. We conducted a single-center, cross-sectional study to ascertain the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the equitable availability of medical resources for children diagnosed with malignant solid tumors in China. Methods Data on the demographics, clinical characteristics, and medical expenses of 876 patients diagnosed with neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), Wilms tumor, hepatoblastoma (HB), Ewing sarcoma (ES), and central nervous system (CNS) tumors from 2019 to 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, were retrospectively collected from the National Center for Children's Health. The Pearson χ2 test and Mann-Whitney test were performed to analyze the differences among variables. Results Except for the regional origin of children with tumors during the epidemic, no significant differences were found in the demographic or clinical characteristics of patients at initial diagnosis. The number of patients from northern China and northeastern China who attended Beijing Children's Hospital (BCH) increased after the outbreak of COVID-19 (P=0.001). There was no significant alteration observed in the frequency of hospitalizations per individual per annum (P=0.641) or the mean expense incurred per individual per hospitalization (P=0.361). In addition, the medical insurance coverage rate of real-time settlement increased year by year. Conclusions After the COVID-19 outbreak, the origin of patients with solid tumor who visited BCH was concentrated in the northern region of China. COVID-19 had no impact on the other demographic factors, clinical characteristics, or economic burden of patients with pediatric malignant solid tumors.

Abstract
Background peripheral neuroblastic tumors (pNT) have high incidence and mortality, and infants are prone to various infectious diseases. The purpose of this study is to understand the immunization status of children with pNT in the real-world and the incidence of adverse reactions after vaccination, and to evaluate the feasibility of vaccination and the influencing factors of vaccination. Methods Children with pNT treated in the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University from January 1, 2011 to December 1, 2021 were included. By referring to medical records, the vaccination history of the national immunization program (NIP) vaccines and the occurrence of adverse events following immunization(AEFI), current status and safety of immunization in children with pNT in the real-world were analyzed. Results Among 784 children with pNT, 394 were able to obtain the history of vaccination. The overall vaccination rate of NIP vaccines was 71.49% before chemotherapy and 37.67% after chemotherapy, and the recovery time of vaccination after treatment was 16.00 (6.00,24.00) months. Age, time of tumor diagnosis and disease classification were significantly correlated with vaccination. AEFI reported an incidence of 0.23‰. Conclusion The vaccination rate of children with pNT is generally low, especially the vaccination rate after chemotherapy. The vaccination safety is good, children should be encouraged to immunize.

Ren Q, Yang S, Chang S, Yang W, Cheng H, Chang X, Zhu Z, Yu T, Feng J, Han J, Mou J, Qin H, Wang H. Renal preservation in high-risk retroperitoneal neuroblastoma: Impact on survival and local progression. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2024; 50:107303. [PMID: 38056023 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2023.107303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2023] [Revised: 11/04/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Retroperitoneal neuroblastomas predominantly encroach upon critical structures, complicating surgical intervention and yielding elevated rates of surgery-associated complications. The kidney and renal vasculature represent the organs most susceptible to retroperitoneal neuroblastoma infiltration. Prior investigations have revealed high nephrectomy incidence and a paucity of renal-preserving surgical approaches. METHODS A retrospective analysis was undertaken, examining patients with retroperitoneal neuroblastoma who underwent surgical procedures from January 2018 to December 2019 at Beijing Children's Hospital. RESULTS The study encompassed 225 patients, presenting a median age of 37 months. Concomitant nephrectomy and tumor excision were performed in 11 (4.9%) patients, while 214 (95.1%) patients successfully preserved their kidneys during surgery. Among the patients who retained their kidneys, 8 (3.5%) experienced renal atrophy postoperatively. Predominant rationales for simultaneous nephrectomy included tumor invasion into the renal hilum (n = 9), markedly diminished function of the affected kidney (n = 2), and ureteral infiltration (n = 1). Subsequent to a median follow-up duration of 43 months, the outcomes demonstrated no considerable divergence in overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) between the nephrectomy and renal-preserving cohorts among high-risk (HR) neuroblastoma patients. Among the eight HR children who underwent nephrectomy, four experienced local recurrence. The nephrectomy cohort exhibited a significantly elevated cumulative incidence of local progression (CILP) relative to the renal-preserving group. CONCLUSION In high-risk retroperitoneal neuroblastoma patients, nephrectomy does not enhance CILP, EFS, or OS. The guiding surgical tenet involves preserving the kidney while striving for gross total resection of the primary neoplasm, barring instances of severe deterioration of the affected renal function.

Translational practice of fluorescence in situ hybridisation to identify neuroblastic tumours with TERT rearrangements. J Pathol Clin Res 2023; 9:475-487. [PMID: 37608330 PMCID: PMC10556277 DOI: 10.1002/cjp2.338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023]
Abstract
Recently, telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene rearrangements have been identified in neuroblastoma (NB), the typical pathological type of neuroblastic tumours (NTs); however, the prevalence of TERT rearrangements in other types of NT remains unknown. This study aimed to develop a practical method for detecting TERT defects and to evaluate the clinical relevance of TERT rearrangements as a biomarker for NT prognosis. A TERT break-apart probe for fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) was designed, optimised, and applied to assess the genomic status of TERT in Chinese children with NTs at the Beijing Children's Hospital from 2016 to 2019. Clinical, histological, and genetic characteristics of TERT-rearranged NTs were further addressed. Genomic TERT rearrangements could be effectively detected by FISH and were mutually exclusive with MYCN amplification. TERT rearrangements were identified in 6.0% (38/633) of NTs overall, but 12.4% (31/250) in high-risk patients. TERT rearrangements identified a subtype of aggressive NTs with the characteristics of Stage 3/4, high-risk category, over 18 months old, and presenting all histological subtypes of NB and ganglioneuroblastoma nodular. Moreover, TERT rearrangements were significantly associated with elevated TERT expression levels and decreased survival chances. Multivariable analysis confirmed that it was an independent prognostic marker for NTs. FISH is an easily applicable method for evaluating TERT defects, which define a subgroup of NTs with unfavourable prognosis. TERT rearrangements would contribute to characterising NT molecular signatures in clinical practice.

TAF1D promotes proliferation by transcriptionally activating G2/M phase-related genes in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma. Cancer Sci 2023. [PMID: 37094904 DOI: 10.1111/cas.15815] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 03/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2023] Open
Abstract
High-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NB) is an aggressive childhood cancer that responds poorly to currently available therapies and is associated with only about a 50% 5-year survival rate. MYCN amplification is a critical driver of these aggressive tumors, but so far there have not been any approved treatments to effectively treat HR-NB by targeting MYCN or its downstream effectors. Thus, the identification of novel molecular targets and therapeutic strategies to treat children diagnosed with HR-NB represents an urgent unmet medical need. Here, we conducted a targeted siRNA screening and identified TATA box-binding protein-associated factor RNA polymerase I subunit D, TAF1D, as a critical regulator of the cell cycle and proliferation in HR-NB cells. Analysis of three independent primary NB cohorts determined that high TAF1D expression correlated with MYCN-amplified, high-risk disease and poor clinical outcomes. TAF1D knockdown more robustly inhibited cell proliferation in MYCN-amplified NB cells compared with MYCN-non-amplified NB cells, as well as suppressed colony formation and inhibited tumor growth in a xenograft mouse model of MYCN-amplified NB. RNA-seq analysis revealed that TAF1D knockdown downregulates the expression of genes associated with the G2/M transition, including the master cell-cycle regulator, cell-cycle-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), resulting in cell-cycle arrest at G2/M. Our findings demonstrate that TAF1D is a key oncogenic regulator of MYCN-amplified HR-NB and suggest that therapeutic targeting of TAF1D may be a viable strategy to treat HR-NB patients by blocking cell-cycle progression and the proliferation of tumor cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the criteria, safety and efficacy of laparoscopic surgery in pediatric neuroblastoma (NB). METHODS A retrospective study of 87 patients with NB without image-defined risk factors (IDRFs) between December 2016 and January 2021 at Beijing Children's Hospital was conducted. Patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical procedure. RESULTS Between the 87 patients, there were 54 (62.07%) cases in the open surgery group and 33 (37.93%) cases in the laparoscopic surgery group. There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding demographic characteristics, genomic and biological features, operating time or postoperative complications. However, in terms of intraoperative bleeding (p = 0.013) and the time to start postoperative feeding after surgery (p = 0.002), the laparoscopic group was obviously better than the open group. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the prognosis between the two groups, and no recurrence or death was observed. CONCLUSION For children with localized NB who have no IDRFs, laparoscopic surgery could be performed safely and effectively. Surgeons who are skilled in this can help children reduce surgical injuries, speed up postoperative recovery, and obtain the same prognosis as open surgery.

Nectin2 influences cell apoptosis by regulating ANXA2 expression in neuroblastoma. Acta Biochim Biophys Sin (Shanghai) 2023; 55:356-366.

Abstract
Neuroblastoma (NB) is a pediatric cancer of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system and represents the most frequent solid malignancy in infants. Nectin2 belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and has been shown to play a role in tumorigenesis. In the current study, we demonstrate that serum Nectin2 level is increased in NB patients compared with that in healthy controls and Nectin2 level is correlated with neuroblastoma international neuroblastoma staging system (INSS) classification. There is a positive correlation between Nectin2 level and shorter overall survival in NB patients. Knockdown of Nectin2 reduces the migration of SH-SY5Y and SK-N-BE2 cells and induces their apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. RNA-seq analysis demonstrates that Nectin2 knockdown affects the expressions of 258 genes, including 240 that are upregulated and 18 that are downregulated compared with negative controls. qRT-PCR and western blot analysis confirm that ANXA2 expression is decreased in Nectin2-knockdown SH-SY5Y cells, consistent with the RNA-seq results. ANXA2 overexpression rescues the percentage of apoptotic NB cells induced by Nectin2 knockdown and compensates for the impact of Nectin2 knockdown on cleaved caspase3 and bax expressions. In addition, western blot analysis results show that ANXA2 overexpression rescues the effect of Nectin2 knockdown on MMP2 and MMP9 expressions. The current data highlight the importance of Nectin2 in NB progression and the potential of Nectin2 as a novel candidate target for gene therapy.

Abstract
In a few reports, ARID1B/A mutation was found in neuroblastoma. We analyzed the clinical characteristics, clinical efficacy, and prognosis of three children with high-risk refractory neuroblastoma (NB) with somatic ARID1B gene mutation. The whole exon sequencing results showed that there were involved in transcription, DNA synthesis, and repair of ARID1B gene mutations. All mutation sites were located in the promoter region of the exon: ARID1B (p.A460) mutation was found in cases 1 and 2, and ARID1B (p.V215G) mutation was found in cases 1 and 3. The nucleic acid site of ARID1B (p.A460) mutation was c.1379 (exon1) C > G, and the nucleic acid site of ARID1B (p.V215G) mutation was c.644 (exon1) T > G. The meningeal metastasis in case 1 turned negative after 4 cycles of intrathecal injection combined with chemotherapy. However, the child died of agranulocytosis combined with sepsis during the 5th cycle of chemotherapy. Case 2 achieved complete remission (CR). Case 3 achieved CR after chemotherapy, surgery, metaiodobenzylguanidine, and 3F-8 (Naxitamab) immunotherapy after the initial diagnosis. The mediastinum and lymph node metastasis occurred during the 6-month observation period after stopping treatment. He achieved very good partial remission after individualized chemotherapy and surgical treatment. ARID1B is a component protein of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex that participates in the occurrence of a variety of tumors by regulating DNA repair and synthesis. ARID1B nucleic acid mutation (p.A460, p.V215G) in the promoter region of three children may contribute to the poor prognosis of NB children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical neuroblastic tumors (NTs) are rare but less aggressive cancer with an above-average survival rate. Little has been published regarding the management and surgical outcomes of patients with cervical NTs based on pathology category. This study compared and identified the preoperative characteristics of cervical NTs in different pathology categories and evaluated the outcomes of patients undergoing surgical resection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Upon the institutional review board's approval, a retrospective chart review was performed at Beijing Children's Hospital from April 2013 to August 2020. Demographics of patients, imaging data, lab test results, operation details and outcomes were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS Of 32 cervical NTs, 24(80%) were classified as neuroblastoma (NB) /ganglioneuroblastoma-nodular (GNBn) and 8(20%) as ganglioneuroblastoma-intermixed (GNBi)/ ganglioneuroma (GN). Patients with GNBi/GN were older than those with NB/GNBn (44.5 months (IQR 16-81) vs 9 months (IQR 1-47); P = 0.001). GNBi/GN patients presented more frequently with stage 1 disease compared with NB/GNBn patients (100% vs. 29.2%, P = 0.001), less frequently with tumor-related symptoms (0% vs. 70.8%, P = 0.001), artery encased tumor (0% vs. 41.7%, P = 0.035), and surgical complications (25% vs. 70.8%, P = 0.038). GNBi/GN patients were also less likely to show elevated neuron specific enolase (NSE) (12.5% vs. 79.2%, P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Cervical NB/GNBn and GNBi/GN patients had distinct characteristic clinical presentations and surgical outcomes. For children with features suggestive of benign disease (older age, asymptomatic, normal serum tumor markers) and no artery image-defined risk factors (IDRFs), upfront resection can be considered.

Dual isothermal amplification all-in-one approach for rapid and highly sensitive quantification of plasma circulating MYCN gene of neuroblastoma. Anal Biochem 2022; 658:114922. [PMID: 36162447 DOI: 10.1016/j.ab.2022.114922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
A dual isothermal amplification assay with dual fluorescence signal detection strategy, named dual isothermal amplification all-in-one approach, was developed for rapid, one-step, highly sensitive quantification of plasma circulating MYCN copy number of neuroblastoma (NB). The developed strategy consisted of rolling circle amplification (RCA) and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) on a real-time PCR system using highly specific probe, molecular beacon (MB), as detection probe. The developed strategy possessing a broad linear dynamic range of 10 aM to 1 pM for both target gene (MYCN) and reference gene (NAGK). The ratio of the MYCN copy number to NAGK copy number (M/N ratio) was detected by the developed approach in cell lines, NB tumor tissues, hepatoblastoma tumor tissues and Wilms' tumor tissues, to which the M/N ratios were consistent with previous reports. In particular, the M/N ratio in NB clinical tissue specimens and NB plasma specimens detected with the developed approach were in keeping with the standard RT-PCR approach. More importantly, the M/N ratio in NB tissue samples and corresponding plasma samples of NB patients were consistent with each other with a correlation coefficient of 0.9690, indicating that plasma circulating MYCN is a promising indicator for the risk classification of NB.

Abstract
Paired-like homeobox 2B (PHOX2B) is a highly sensitive and specific biomarker for diagnosing neuroblastoma, as well as detecting minimal residual disease in neuroblastoma. The clinical significance of PHOX2B expression in bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) samples of newly diagnosed patients with very low-, low- and intermediate-risk neuroblastoma remains unknown, to the best of our knowledge. The expression level of PHOX2B in paired BM and PB samples of patients with newly diagnosed neuroblastoma was validated using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTqPCR). Among the 132 patients, 26 exhibited a positive PHOX2B expression BM (19.7%) and 11 in PB (8.3%) samples. PHOX2B was highly expressed in BM and PB samples from patients aged <18 months, with International Neuroblastoma Risk Group Staging System stages M and MS, 1p loss of heterozygosity, and high levels of lactate dehydrogenase, serum ferritin and neuron-specific enolase (p < 0.05). In all eligible patients, the 2-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 94.7 ± 2.0% and 97.7 ± 1.3%, respectively. However, the 2-year EFS rates were significantly decreased to 76.9 ± 8.3% and 63.6 ± 14.5% in patients with a positive PHOX2B expression in BM and PB samples, respectively (p < 0.05). Similarly, the 2-year OS rates were also decreased to 88.5 ± 6.3% and 81.8 ± 11.6% in patients with a positive PHOX2B expression in BM and PB samples, respectively (p < 0.05). In conclusion, a positive PHOX2B expression in BM and PB samples at diagnosis had a strong adverse prognostic effect on patients with non-high-risk neuroblastoma.

Impact of 11q Loss of Heterozygosity Status on the Response of High-Risk Neuroblastoma With MYCN Amplification to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy. Front Pediatr 2022; 10:898918. [PMID: 35757140 PMCID: PMC9226623 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2022.898918] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate whether 11q loss of heterozygosity (LOH) aberration would impact the response of the primary tumor to neoadjuvant chemotherapy or to the degree of surgical resection in neuroblastoma (NB) patients with MYCN amplification. METHODS The clinical data of 42 NB patients with MYCN amplification who were newly diagnosed and received treatments at our hospital from 2011 to 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the results of the segmental chromosome aberration analysis, the patients enrolled were assigned to an 11qLOH positive group and an 11qLOH negative group. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the mean number of chemotherapy courses completed before surgery between the 11qLOH positive and 11qLOH negative groups (p = 0.242). Each of the 42 patients had metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scans both before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The percentage of patients who had a clinical MIBG change in the 11qLOH positive group was lower than the percentage in the 11qLOH negative group (27.27 vs. 66.67%, p = 0.030). The 11qLOH negative group seemed to have a higher rate of surgical resection (≥90%); however, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (p = 0.088). Furthermore, the 11qLOH negative group did not show significantly superior event-free survival and overall survival rates compared with the 11qLOH positive group. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that patients with NB and MYCN amplification in combination with 11qLOH might be less likely to respond to neoadjuvant chemotherapy when compared with patients with NB and MYCN amplification without 11qLOH.

GD2-specific chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cells for the treatment of refractory and/or recurrent neuroblastoma in pediatric patients. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2021; 148:2643-2652. [PMID: 34724115 PMCID: PMC9470713 DOI: 10.1007/s00432-021-03839-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) disialoganglioside 2 (GD2)-specific (4SCAR-GD2) T cells for treatment of refractory and/or recurrent neuroblastoma (NB) in pediatric patients. Experimental design A phase I clinical study using 4SCAR-GD2 T cells for the treatment of NB in pediatric patients was conducted. This study was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02765243). A lentiviral CAR with the signaling domains of CD28/4-1BB/CD3ζ-iCasp9 was transduced into activated T cells. The response to 4SCAR-GD2 T-cell treatment, and 4SCAR-GD2 T-cell expansion and persistence in patients were evaluated. Toxicities were determined based on the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03. Results Twelve patients were enrolled and finally ten patients were included in this clinical trial which started from January 1, 2016, to August 1, 2017. These patients had progressive disease (PD) before CAR T-cell infusion. After 4SCAR-GD2 T-cell treatment, 6 (6/10) had stable disease (SD) at 6 months, and 4 (4/10) remained SD at 1 year and alive after 3–4 years of follow-up. Six patients died due to disease progression by the end of July 1, 2020. The median overall survival (OS) time was 25 months (95% CI, 0.00–59.43), and the median progression-free survival (PFS) time was 8 months (95% CI, 0.25–15.75). Grade 3 or 4 hematological toxicities were the common adverse events frequently occurred after fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (Flu/cy) chemotherapy. Grade 1–2 toxicities such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neuropathic pain were common, but were transient and mild. Conclusions The 4SCAR-GD2 T-cell therapy demonstrated antitumor effect and manageable toxicities, indicating its potential to benefit children with refractory and/or recurrent NB.
