Abstract
The association between acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and the human leukocyte antigens (HLA) has rarely been studied in terms of diversity of peptide-binding pockets. The objective of this study was to analyse whether motifs of HLA class I and class II peptide-binding pockets and/or their amino acid positions were differentially associated with ALL and AML. We included 849 patients from the Eurocord/European Blood and Marrow Transplant registry. The HLA peptide-binding pockets whose amino acid variability was analysed were B and F for HLA class I, P4, P6, and P9 for HLA-DRB1, and P4 and P9 for HLA-DQB1. The motif RFDRAY in P4 of HLA-DRB1*16:01/02/03/05 alleles and the motif YYVSY in P9 of HLA-DQB1*05:02/04/05 alleles, were statistically associated with ALL (corrected p value [pc ] = 0.001 and pc = 0.035 respectively). The frequency of serine 57 in the P9 of HLA-DQB1 was higher in ALL (odds ratio 2.09, 95% confidence interval: 1.27-3.44; pc = 0.037). Our analysis suggests that specific motifs in terms of HLA class II pockets and amino acids might be unique to ALL. The associations identified in this study encourage further investigation oF the role of HLA peptide-binding pockets and their amino acids in immune processes underpinning acute leukaemia and ultimately in immunotherapy settings.

Abstract
Relationship between various combinations of KIR ligands and HLA alleles have been studied in several diseases. The aim of this retrospective study was to estimate the frequency of HLA alleles and KIR ligands among acute myeloid leukemia patients and healthy controls in order to examine the possible association of HLA alleles and KIR ligands with AML. A total of 439 acute myeloid leukemia patients and 1317 unrelated, healthy ethnic Indian controls were included in the study. HLA typing was performed using PCR-SSP. KIR ligands were assigned by using the KIR ligand Calculator. The frequency of HLA alleles and KIR ligands in patients was then compared with the controls. As compared to controls, frequencies of HLA-A*03 and HLA-B*35 were increased in AML patients, whereas, that of HLA-C*03 was decreased. Frequencies of HLA-A*03 and HLA-C*15 were increased in male patients, however, no significant difference was observed in female patients as compared to controls. In the pediatric group, the frequencies of HLA-A*01 was decreased and that of HLA-A*03 and HLA-B*18 were increased, whereas, frequencies of HLA-B*13 was decreased and that of HLA-B*27 was increased in the adult patients. In the haplotype analysis, the frequency of HLA-A*24/B*35/DRB1*15 was increased in overall patients. In adult group, the frequency of HLA-A*01/B*44/DRB1*07 was increased in patients than in controls. No significant association was observed between KIR ligands and susceptibility/ protection to AML. Our results indicate that certain HLA alleles and haplotypes have presumptive positive or negative role in conferring protection/susceptibility to AML.

Abstract
All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and valproic acid (VP) have been tried in the treatment of non-promyelocytic variants of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Non-randomized studies suggest that the two drugs can stabilize AML and improve normal peripheral blood cell counts. In this context, we used a proteomic/phosphoproteomic strategy to investigate the in vivo effects of ATRA/VP on human AML cells. Before starting the combined treatment, AML responders showed increased levels of several proteins, especially those involved in neutrophil degranulation/differentiation, M phase regulation and the interconversion of nucleotide di- and triphosphates (i.e., DNA synthesis and binding). Several among the differentially regulated phosphorylation sites reflected differences in the regulation of RNA metabolism and apoptotic events at the same time point. These effects were mainly caused by increased cyclin dependent kinase 1 and 2 (CDK1/2), LIM domain kinase 1 and 2 (LIMK1/2), mitogen-activated protein kinase 7 (MAPK7) and protein kinase C delta (PRKCD) activity in responder cells. An extensive effect of in vivo treatment with ATRA/VP was the altered level and phosphorylation of proteins involved in the regulation of transcription/translation/RNA metabolism, especially in non-responders, but the regulation of cell metabolism, immune system and cytoskeletal functions were also affected. Our analysis of serial samples during the first week of treatment suggest that proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiling can be used for the early identification of responders to ATRA/VP-based treatment.

Abstract
Background The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is the best-characterized genetic region related to resistance/susceptibility to a wide range of infectious and immune-mediated diseases. Evidences suggest that MHC class II genes may play an important role in developing different types of tumors including breast cancer. Canine mammary gland tumors (CMTs) are the most common neoplasms in female dogs. In the current study, the association of canine MHC class II DLA-DRB1.2 genotypes with development of mammary gland tumor profiles in dogs was investigated. DLA-DRB1.2 allelic diversity was determined in 40 dogs (18 CMT cases and 22 controls) using HRM technique and DNA sequencing. Association of the DLA-DRB1.2 genotypes with CMT profiles was expressed as odds ratio (OR). Results Based on the histopathological typing of tumors, CMT cases were categorized into 4 groups: simple carcinoma, complex carcinoma, carcinoma arising in a benign tumor and special types of carcinoma. A total of eight HRM profiles (A to H) were identified in dogs sampled. The association study revealed a significant correlation between DLA-DRB1.2 genotypes with different CMT profiles. The E genotype was significantly associated with increased risk of carcinoma arising in a benign tumor, and the B genotype represented a positive correlation with complex carcinoma. Significant association was also observed between the heterozygosity of DLA-DRB1.2 genotypes and decreased risk of developing tumor in dogs. Conclusions These results provide additional support for the association between DLA-DRB1 genes and development of mammary gland tumors in dogs and could potentially be used for early diagnosis of neoplasia and identifying susceptible dogs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Silicone implants have been successfully used for breast augmentation and reconstruction in millions of women worldwide. The reaction to the silicone implant is highly variable; it can lead to local inflammatory symptoms, and sometimes to systemic symptoms and disease. Over 80 cases of anaplastic lymphoma kinase-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma have been reported in patients with silicone breast implants and have been accepted as a new clinical entity. To the best of our knowledge, an intravascular large B-cell lymphoma associated with a silicone breast implant has not been reported previously. CASE PRESENTATION A 48-year-old Caucasian woman who presented with high fever was found to have splenomegaly on physical examination. A laboratory diagnosis revealed pancytopenia, hypertriglyceridemia, and hyperferritinemia. She developed signs of altered sensorium, hemiparesis, aphasia, and cauda equina syndrome. On further evaluation, she fulfilled the necessary five out of eight criteria for diagnosis of macrophage activation syndrome/hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Dexamethasone administration was followed by prompt improvement; however, 3 days later she again manifested high fever, which persisted despite administration of immunoglobulin and cyclosporine A. Her silicone breast implant was considered a possible contributor to her macrophage activation syndrome and was therefore removed. A histological examination of the capsule tissue showed an extensive lymphohistiocytic/giant cell foreign body reaction suggestive of autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants. However, the histological examination unexpectedly also revealed an intravascular large B-cell lymphoma. CONCLUSIONS The genetic background of our patient with silicone breast implants might have predisposed her to three rare and difficult to diagnose syndromes/diseases: macrophage activation syndrome/hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants, and intravascular large B-cell lymphoma. The simultaneous manifestation of all three syndromes suggests causal interrelationships. Human leukocyte antigen testing in all women who undergo silicon breast implantation could in the future enable us to better evaluate the risk of potential side effects.

Abstract
We studied the frequencies of human leukocyte antigen alleles (A, B, and DRB1) in 90 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and then compared them with 126 controls in this study. Although the frequencies of the A*03 allele, the DRB1*03 allele, the DRB1*04 allele, the A*02/B*35/DRB1*13 haplotype, and homozygosity of A*02 were higher in patients (p=0.006, p=0.003, p=0.002, p=0.01, and p=0.02, respectively), the frequencies of the A*23, B*13, B*40, and DRB1*13 alleles were lower (p=0.002, p=0.07, p=0.002, and p=0.003, respectively) in patients than controls. The frequencies of the DRB1*04 and DRB1*07 alleles were higher in patients in the high-risk group and standard-risk group, respectively (p=0.009 and p=0.007, respectively). This study indicated that the frequency of the A*03 allele, the DRB1*03 allele, the DRB1*04 allele, the A*02/B*35/DRB1*13 haplotype, and A*02 homozygosity may play a predisposing role in patients with ALL in the Turkish population. The frequency of the DRB1*04 and DRB1*07 alleles may also be associated with high risk and standard risk in patients with ALL, respectively.

Abstract
Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Human Hemochromatosis (HFE) gene, C282Y and H63D, are the major variants associated to altered iron status and it is well known that these mutations are in linkage disequilibrium with certain Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-A alleles. In addition, the C282Y SNP has been previously suggested to confer susceptibility to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We have aimed to assess the diagnosis utility of these polymorphisms in a population of Spanish subjects with suspicion of hereditary iron overload and to evaluate the effect of their associations with HLA-A alleles on the susceptibility to ALL. Both the 63DD [OR=4.31 (1.7-11.2)] and 282YY (p for trend=0.02) genotypes were more frequently found among subjects with suspicion of iron overload than among controls. 282YY carriers displayed significantly higher transferrin saturation index (TSI) values (p<0.001) as well as serum iron (p=0.01) and ferritin (p=0.01) levels. In addition, transferrin levels were lower in these subjects (p=0.01). Likewise, patients who were carriers of the compound heterozygous diplotype (282CY/63HD) showed significantly higher TSI and serum iron and ferritin concentrations. The H63D SNP did not significantly affect the analytical parameters measured. All 282YY carriers and 69.2% of compound heterozygotes showed an altered biochemical index. The frequencies of the HFE SNPs in ALL pediatric patients were lower than those found in controls, whereas the HLA-A*24 allele was significantly overrepresented in the patients group [OR=3.76 (1.9-7.3)]. No HFE-HLA-A associations were found to modulate the ALL risk. These results suggest that it may be useful to test for both HFE H63D and C282Y polymorphisms in patients with iron overload, as opposed to just genotyping for the C282Y SNP, which is customary in some healthcare centers. These HFE variants and their associations with HLA-A alleles were not observed to be relevant for the susceptibility to ALL in our population.
