Abstract
Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are a diverse group of malignant blood disorders characterized by initial skin infiltration, and sometimes, tumor spreading to lymph nodes, blood, and viscera. Mycosis fungoides is the most common form. Sézary syndrome is a distinctive form of CTCL marked by a significant presence of circulating tumor cells in peripheral blood. These diseases are characterized by the plasticity and heterogeneity of the tumor cells in the different tissue compartments, and a difficulty in identifying these tumor cells for diagnostic purposes and therapeutic monitoring. Progress has been made in the understanding of the pathophysiology of these diseases in recent years, and we provide here a review of these advancements.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Patients with Sézary syndrome (SS), a leukemic variant of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), are prone to Staphylococcus aureus infections and have a poor prognosis due to treatment resistance. Here, we report that S aureus and staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE) induce drug resistance in malignant T cells against therapeutics commonly used in CTCL. Supernatant from patient-derived, SE-producing S aureus and recombinant SE significantly inhibit cell death induced by histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor romidepsin in primary malignant T cells from patients with SS. Bacterial killing by engineered, bacteriophage-derived, S aureus-specific endolysin (XZ.700) abrogates the effect of S aureus supernatant. Similarly, mutations in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II binding sites of SE type A (SEA) and anti-SEA antibody block induction of resistance. Importantly, SE also triggers resistance to other HDAC inhibitors (vorinostat and resminostat) and chemotherapeutic drugs (doxorubicin and etoposide). Multimodal single-cell sequencing indicates T-cell receptor (TCR), NF-κB, and JAK/STAT signaling pathways (previously associated with drug resistance) as putative mediators of SE-induced drug resistance. In support, inhibition of TCR-signaling and Protein kinase C (upstream of NF-κB) counteracts SE-induced rescue from drug-induced cell death. Inversely, SE cannot rescue from cell death induced by the proteasome/NF-κB inhibitor bortezomib. Inhibition of JAK/STAT only blocks rescue in patients whose malignant T-cell survival is dependent on SE-induced cytokines, suggesting 2 distinct ways SE can induce drug resistance. In conclusion, we show that S aureus enterotoxins induce drug resistance in primary malignant T cells. These findings suggest that S aureus enterotoxins cause clinical treatment resistance in patients with SS, and antibacterial measures may improve the outcome of cancer-directed therapy in patients harboring S aureus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is one of the most common precancerous lesions of pancreatic carcinoma. Studies have found that the tumoral microbiome has an important influence on pancreatic carcinoma. However, the tumoral microbiome of IPMNs has rarely been explored. METHODS Tumoral microbiome gene sequencing was carried out using 16 specimens of IPMN and 45 specimens of IPMN with associated invasive carcinoma (IPMN-IC) by 2bRAD sequencing for microbiome. The profile of the tumoral microbiome was summarized. Associations of the tumoral microbiome with disease grade, histological subtype, and prognosis were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 598 species of microbes were identified, comprising 228 genera, 109 families, 60 orders, 29 classes, 14 phyla, and 2 kingdoms. The genus Pseudomonas was detected more frequently and had higher relative abundance in IPMN-ICs; Alcaligenes faecalis was detected with higher relative abundance in IPMNs. Bifidobacterium pseudolongum had a higher relative abundance in the IPMN-IC group, regardless of histological subtype. Moreover, among patients with IPMN-ICs, those with a high relative abundance of B. pseudolongum had better overall survival than those with a low relative abundance. Patients who were positive for Staphylococcus aureus or Mycolicibacillus koreensis had shorter survival. The presence of S. aureus was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis. CONCLUSIONS There are enriching tumoral microbes in IPMN. The tumoral microbiome of IPMN is different from that of IPMN-IC.

Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma and Microbiota: Etiopathogenesis and Potential New Therapeutic Targets. Dermatol Res Pract 2024; 2024:9919225.

Abstract
Objective To review the scientific literature related to human microbiota and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Methodology. An exploratory and systematic review of the articles retrieved from the bibliographic databases MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, The Cochrane Library, and Scopus, published in the last 10 years with the following descriptors: "lymphoma, T-cell, cutaneous," "microbiota," "Mycosis Fungoides," "Sézary Syndrome," "lymphoma, primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell," "Lymphomatoid Papulosis" and "Microbiota," "microbiota," "Microbial Community," and "Microbial Communities." Results Of the 87 references retrieved, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 21 articles were selected. Most studies linking cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and the microbiota focus on the cutaneous microbiome, with Staphylococcus aureus being the main related agent. Skin colonization by this bacterium could be involved in the hyperactivation of the STAT3 inflammatory pathway and in the overproduction of IL-17, both of which are widely related to the development of more aggressive and advanced forms of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. We also found evidence of a possible relationship between intestinal dysbiosis and the development of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, observing a decrease in taxonomic variability and an increase in certain genera such as Prevotella in the intestinal microbiome of patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The possible etiopathogenic mechanism underlying this relationship could be explained by an increase in systemic cytokine release, promoting the hyperactivation of STAT3 at the skin level. Conclusion There appears to be a relationship between cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and the cutaneous and intestinal microbiome, as well as a possible pathophysiological pathway involved. The possible modulation of the cutaneous and intestinal microbiome or the action on the signaling inflammatory pathway, using pharmacological tools such as JAK inhibitors or IL-17 inhibitors in the latter case, could open the possibility for future therapeutic studies for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus modulates the host immune response directly by interacting with the immune cells or indirectly by secreting molecules (secretome). Relevant differences in virulence mechanisms have been reported for the secretome produced by different S. aureus strains. The present study investigated the S. aureus secretome impact on peripheral bovine mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by comparing two S. aureus strains with opposite epidemiological behavior, the genotype B (GTB)/sequence type (ST) 8, associated with a high within-herd prevalence, and GTS/ST398, associated with a low within-herd prevalence. PBMCs were incubated with different concentrations (0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 2.5%) of GTB/ST8 and GTS/ST398 secretome for 18 and 48 h, and the viability was assessed. The mRNA levels of pro- (IL1-β and STAT1) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10, STAT6, and TGF-β) genes, and the amount of pro- (miR-155-5p and miR-125b-5p) and anti-inflammatory (miR-146a and miR-145) miRNAs were quantified by RT-qPCR. Results showed that incubation with 2.5% of GTB/ST8 secretome increased the viability of cells. In contrast, incubation with the GTS/ST398 secretome strongly decreased cell viability, preventing any further assays. The GTB/ST8 secretome promoted PBMC polarization towards the pro-inflammatory phenotype inducing the overexpression of IL1-β, STAT1 and miR-155-5p, while the expression of genes involved in the anti-inflammatory response was not affected. In conclusion, the challenge of PBMC to the GTS/ST398 secretome strongly impaired cell viability, while exposure to the GTB/ST8 secretome increased cell viability and enhanced a pro-inflammatory response, further highlighting the different effects exerted on host cells by S. aureus strains with epidemiologically divergent behaviors.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is suspected to fuel disease activity in cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. In this study, we investigate the effect of a recombinant, antibacterial protein, endolysin (XZ.700), on S. aureus skin colonization and malignant T-cell activation. We show that endolysin strongly inhibits the proliferation of S. aureus isolated from cutaneous T-cell lymphoma skin and significantly decreases S. aureus bacterial cell counts in a dose-dependent manner. Likewise, ex vivo colonization of both healthy and lesional skin by S. aureus is profoundly inhibited by endolysin. Moreover, endolysin inhibits the patient-derived S. aureus induction of IFNγ and the IFNγ-inducible chemokine CXCL10 in healthy skin. Whereas patient-derived S. aureus stimulates activation and proliferation of malignant T cells in vitro through an indirect mechanism involving nonmalignant T cells, endolysin strongly inhibits the effects of S. aureus on activation (reduced CD25 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 phosphorylation) and proliferation (reduced Ki-67) of malignant T cells and cell lines in the presence of nonmalignant T cells. Taken together, we provide evidence that endolysin XZ.700 inhibits skin colonization, chemokine expression, and proliferation of pathogenic S. aureus and blocks their potential tumor-promoting effects on malignant T cells.

Abstract
Tumour microenvironment has an important effect on the progression of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. Using PCR with sequence-specific primers, this study analysed single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the interleukin-17 genes of 150 patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. GG homozygote rs8193036 A/G of interleukin-17A gene occurred less commonly in the cutaneous T-cell lymphoma group; however, patients with this single-nucleotide polymorphism experience significantly intense pruritus. Conversely, the rs2397084 AG heterozygote of interleukin-17F is more common in the lymphoma population. In addition, there were significant differences in the frequencies of interleukin-17 genotypes when comparing early (Ia to IIa) and advanced stages (IIb, III and IV) of this neoplasms. A similar result has been shown in comparison between Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides. The current data may serve as a possible explanation for the increased bacterial infection rates in the course of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, especially caused by Staphylococcus aureus. In summary, specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms occur with different frequencies between cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and healthy patients. Moreover, genetic predisposition of several interleukin-17 single-nucleotide polymorphisms may be a factor causing impaired immune defence in cutaneous lymphomas.

[PMID: 36015055 PMCID: PMC9414712 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens11080935] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Revised: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
In recent years, numerous studies have shown a significant role of the skin microbiome in the development and exacerbation of skin diseases. Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are a group of malignancies primary involving skin, with unclear pathogenesis and etiology. As external triggers appear to contribute to chronic skin inflammation and the malignant transformation of T-cells, some microorganisms or dysbiosis may be involved in these processes. Recently, studies analyzing the skin microbiome composition and diversity have been willingly conducted in CTCL patients. In this review, we summarize currently available data on the skin microbiome in CTLC. We refer to a healthy skin microbiome and the contribution of microorganisms in the pathogenesis and progression of other skin diseases, focusing on atopic dermatitis and its similarities to CTCL. Moreover, we present information about the possible role of identified microorganisms in CTCL development and progression. Additionally, we summarize information about the involvement of Staphylococcus aureus in CTCL pathogenesis. This article also presents therapeutic options used in CTCL and discusses how they may influence the microbiome.

Sci Rep 2022; 12:4181. [PMID: 35264708 PMCID: PMC8907217 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-08180-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2021] [Accepted: 03/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Infection with Brucella is characterized by the inhibition of host immune responses. MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) has been implicated in the immune response to many diseases. In this study, its expression during Brucella 16M infection of macrophages and mice was analyzed. Expression of miR-155 was significantly induced in macrophages at 24 h post infection. Further, an analysis of infected mice showed that miR-155 was inhibited at 7 and 14 days but induced at 28 days. Interestingly, this trend in induction or inhibition was reversed at 7 and 14 days in 16M△virB-infected mice. This suggested that decreased expression of miR-155 at an early stage of infection was dependent on intracellular replication. In humans with brucellosis, serum levels of miR-155 were significantly decreased compared to those in individuals without brucellosis and healthy volunteers. Significant correlations were observed between serum level of miR-155 and serum anti-Brucella antibody titers and the sweating symptom. This effect suggests that Brucella interferes with miR-155-regulated immune responses via a unique mechanism. Taken together, data from this study indicate that Brucella infection affects miR-155 expression and that human brucellosis patients show decreased serum levels of miR-155.

The Skin Microbiome and Influencing Elements in Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphomas. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14051324. [PMID: 35267632 PMCID: PMC8909499 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14051324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2022] [Revised: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Since the 1970s, a connection between microbes living on the skin and the rare cutaneous neoplasia, cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL), was suggested. New technologies, for instance, next-generation sequencing technologies, enable investigators to look closely at the interplay between microbes and the host. In the present review, we collected research regarding the role of skin microbiota and skin barrier elements in the most common CTCL. It is known that Staphylococcus aureus infections play a major role in morbidity and mortality in advanced stages of the disease. It is possible that the microbiota of the patient might be involved in disease progression or its origin. Some findings suggest that the skin barrier may be deficient in CTCL. Restoring the skin barrier in CTCL might be a promising therapeutical option. Further studies are needed to provide more insight and potentially contribute to the development of new treatment approaches. Abstract Since the 1970s, a connection between the skin’s microbiota and cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) was suggested. New techniques such as next-generation sequencing technologies enable the examination of the nuanced interplay between microbes and their host. The purpose of this review is an updated description of the current knowledge on the composition of the microbiome, relevant bacteria, or other stimuli, and their potential role in CTCL with a focus on the most frequent subtype, mycosis fungoides. Some findings suggest that the skin barrier—or the deficiency hereof—and host-microbiota might be involved in disease progression or etiopathogenesis. In addition, information on the current knowledge of antimicrobial peptide expression in CTCL, as well as treatment considerations with antiseptics and antibiotics, are included. Further studies are needed to provide more insight and potentially contribute to the development of new treatment approaches.

Abstract
Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphomas (CTCL) presents with substantial clinical variability and transcriptional heterogeneity. In the recent years, several studies paved the way to elucidate aetiology and pathogenesis of CTCL using sequencing methods. Several T-cell subtypes were suggested as the source of disease thereby explaining clinical and transcriptional heterogeneity of CTCL entities. Several differentially expressed pathways could explain disease progression. However, exogenous triggers in the skin microenvironment also seem to affect CTCL status. Especially Staphylococcus aureus was shown to contribute to disease progression. Only little is known about the complex microbiome patterns involved in CTCL and how microbial shifts might impact this malignancy. Nevertheless, first hints indicate that the microbiome might at least in part explain transcriptional heterogeneity and that microbial approaches could serve in diagnosis and prognosis. Shaping the microbiome could be a treatment option to maintain stable disease. Here, we review current knowledge of transcriptional heterogeneity of and microbial influences on CTCL. We discuss potential benefits of microbial applications and microbial directed therapies to aid patients with CTCL burden.

Abstract
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a dermatologically manifesting immune cell disorder. We present a case of a 76-year-old female with a past medical history of CTCL, presenting with cellulitis of the left foot. After diagnosis of CTCL, the patient was admitted multiple times for treatment of cutaneous and soft-tissue infections with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Her recurrent infection with S. aureus had led to treatment for sepsis and a below-knee amputation on the right during prior hospitalizations. On this admission, the patient was treated with intravenous vancomycin and cefepime as in-patient and oral linezolid as out-patient. Recent articles show that patients with CTCL have an increased tendency to harbor S. aureus, which leads to recurrent infections. Additionally, evidence suggests that S. aureus toxins aid the progression of CTCL by helping the cancer to escape immune regulation. Our patient demonstrates this unique relationship between CTCL and S. aureus, and moreover, we make a case that S. aureus infection in CTCL, as compared to that in other dermatitis, should be better managed to not exacerbate the disease.

Abstract
Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), accounting for approximately 50% of all CTCLs. Although various molecular changes in MF have been described in existing studies, no obvious disease-specific changes have been found thus far. microRNAs (miRs) are short, noncoding RNA molecules that play roles in the post-transcriptional regulation of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in various diseases. Recently, there has been rapidly expanding experimental evidence for the role of miRs in the progression, early diagnosis, prognosis prediction for MF. Efforts to improve early diagnosis and develop personalized therapy options have become more important in recent years. Here, we provide an overview and update of recent advances regarding miRs associated with MF. Furthermore, we provide insights into future opportunities for miR-based therapies.

Abstract
Mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS) are representative cutaneous lymphomas. In their early stage, a small number of tumor cells and a large number of non-malignant cells form a Th1-dominant tumor microenvironment. Increase in malignant T cells is accompanied by a decrease in CD8-positive T cells, with a shift toward a Th2-dominant milieu in advanced-stage lesions. The etiologies of MF/SS are diverse, and the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms are yet to be elucidated. Advanced MF/SS is known to be highly sensitive to Staphylococcus aureus, and the majority of deaths are caused by severe infections. The susceptibility to infection is associated with barrier dysfunction and immunosuppression, which are the main symptoms of MF. In recent years, skin-colonizing S. aureus has been identified to not only cause severe infections but also play an important role in the pathogenesis of MF/SS. Staphylococcal superantigens activate the proliferation of tumor cells and induce CD25 upregulation, FOXP3 expression, IL-17 expression, and miR-155 expression. Alpha-toxin eliminates non-neoplastic CD4-positive cells and CD8-positive cells and plays a major role in tumor cell selection. Lipoprotein may also be associated with the induction of Th2-dominant milieu. Antibiotic therapy for S. aureus eradication has been reported to cause considerable clinical improvement in the majority of individuals with advanced cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Therefore, S. aureus may be a novel target for the treatment of advanced-stage MF/SS in the future.

Abstract
The impact of new and emerging therapies on the microenvironment of primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCLs) has been recently raised in the literature. Concomitantly, novel treatments are already used or registered (dupilumab, upadacitinib) and others seem to be added to the armamentarium against atopic dermatitis. Our aim was to review the literature on interleukins 4, 13, 22, and 31, and JAK/STAT pathways in PCLs to elucidate the safety of using biologics (dupilumab, tralokinumab, fezakinumab, nemolizumab) and small molecule inhibitors (upadacitinib, baricitinib, abrocitinib, ruxolitinib, tofacitinib) in the treatment of atopic dermatitis. We summarized the current state of knowledge on this topic based on the search of the PubMed database and related references published before 21 October 2021. Our analysis suggests that some of the mentioned agents (dupilumab, ruxolitinib) and others may have a direct impact on the progression of cutaneous lymphomas. This issue requires further study and meticulous monitoring of patients receiving these drugs to ensure their safety, especially in light of the FDA warning on tofacitinib. In conclusion, in the case of the rapid progression of atopic dermatitis/eczema, especially in patients older than 40 years old, there is a necessity to perform a biopsy followed by a very careful pathological examination.
