Abstract
Lipid peroxidation plays an important role in various pathologies and aging, at least partially mediated by ferroptosis. The role of mitochondrial lipid peroxidation during ferroptosis remains poorly understood. We show that supplementation of exogenous iron in the form of ferric ammonium citrate at submillimolar doses induces production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation in mitochondria that precede ferroptosis in H9c2 cardiomyocytes. The mitochondria-targeted antioxidant SkQ1 and the redox mediator methylene blue, which inhibits the production of ROS in complex I of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, prevent both mitochondrial lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. SkQ1 and methylene blue also prevented accumulation of lipofuscin observed after 24 h incubation of cardiomyocytes with ferric ammonium citrate. Using isolated cardiac mitochondria as an in vitro ferroptosis model, it was shown that rotenone (complex I inhibitor) in the presence of ferrous iron stimulates lipid peroxidation and lipofuscin accumulation. Our data indicate that ROS generated in complex I stimulate mitochondrial lipid peroxidation, lipofuscin accumulation, and ferroptosis induced by exogenous iron.

Management of adult patients with CMML undergoing allo-HCT: recommendations from the EBMT PH&G Committee. Blood 2024; 143:2227-2244. [PMID: 38493484 DOI: 10.1182/blood.2023023476] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024] Open
Abstract
ABSTRACT Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a heterogeneous disease presenting with either myeloproliferative or myelodysplastic features. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) remains the only potentially curative option, but the inherent toxicity of this procedure makes the decision to proceed to allo-HCT challenging, particularly because patients with CMML are mostly older and comorbid. Therefore, the decision between a nonintensive treatment approach and allo-HCT represents a delicate balance, especially because prospective randomized studies are lacking and retrospective data in the literature are conflicting. International consensus on the selection of patients and the ideal timing of allo-HCT, specifically in CMML, could not be reached in international recommendations published 6 years ago. Since then, new, CMML-specific data have been published. The European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) Practice Harmonization and Guidelines (PH&G) Committee assembled a panel of experts in the field to provide the first best practice recommendations on the role of allo-HCT specifically in CMML. Recommendations were based on the results of an international survey, a comprehensive review of the literature, and expert opinions on the subject, after structured discussion and circulation of recommendations. Algorithms for patient selection, timing of allo-HCT during the course of the disease, pretransplant strategies, allo-HCT modality, as well as posttransplant management for patients with CMML were outlined. The keynote message is, that once a patient has been identified as a transplant candidate, upfront transplantation without prior disease-modifying treatment is preferred to maximize chances of reaching allo-HCT whenever possible, irrespective of bone marrow blast counts.

Abstract
The latest findings in iron metabolism and the newly uncovered process of ferroptosis have paved the way for new potential strategies in anti-leukemia treatments. In the current project, we reviewed and summarized the current role of nanomedicine in the treatment and diagnosis of leukemia through a comparison made between traditional approaches applied in the treatment and diagnosis of leukemia via the existing investigations about the ferroptosis molecular mechanisms involved in various anti-tumor treatments. The application of nanotechnology and other novel technologies may provide a new direction in ferroptosis-driven leukemia therapies. The article explores the potential of targeting ferroptosis, a new form of regulated cell death, as a new therapeutic strategy for leukemia. It discusses the mechanisms of ferroptosis and its role in leukemia and how nanotechnology can enhance the delivery and efficacy of ferroptosis-inducing agents. The article not only highlights the promise of ferroptosis-targeted therapies and nanotechnology in revolutionizing leukemia treatment, but also calls for further research to overcome challenges and fully realize the clinical potential of this innovative approach. Finally, it discusses the challenges and opportunities in clinical applications of ferroptosis.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a cornerstone of modern medical practice, and can only be performed safely and effectively with appropriate transfusion medicine support. Patients undergoing HSCT often develop therapy-related cytopenia, necessitating differing blood product requirements in the pre-, peri-, and post-transplant periods. Moreover, ensuring optimal management for patients alloimmunized to human leukocyte antigens (HLA) and/or red blood cell (RBC) antigens, as well as for patients receiving ABO-incompatible transplants, requires close collaboration with transfusion medicine and blood bank professionals. Finally, as updated transfusion guidelines and novel blood product modifications emerge, the options available to the transplant practitioner continue to expand. Herein, we detail contemporary blood transfusion and transfusion medicine practices for patients undergoing HSCT.

J Fungi (Basel) 2024; 10:94. [PMID: 38392767 PMCID: PMC10890077 DOI: 10.3390/jof10020094] [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: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: The frequency and intensity of war-like activities (war, military training, and shooting ranges) worldwide cause soil pollution by metals, metalloids, explosives, radionuclides, and herbicides. Despite this environmentally worrying scenario, soil decontamination in former war zones almost always involves incineration. Nevertheless, this practice is expensive, and its efficiency is suitable only for organic pollutants. Therefore, treating soils polluted by wars requires efficient and economically viable alternatives. In this sense, this manuscript reviews the status and knowledge gaps of mycoremediation. (2) Methods: The literature review consisted of searches on ScienceDirect and Web of Science for articles (1980 to 2023) on the mycoremediation of soils containing pollutants derived from war-like activities. (3) Results: This review highlighted that mycoremediation has many successful applications for removing all pollutants of war-like activities. However, the mycoremediation of soils in former war zones and those impacted by military training and shooting ranges is still very incipient, with most applications emphasizing explosives. (4) Conclusion: The mycoremediation of soils from conflict zones is an entirely open field of research, and the main challenge is to optimize experimental conditions on a field scale.

Abstract
Culture conditions in which hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can be expanded for clinical benefit are highly sought after. To elucidate regulatory mechanisms governing the maintenance and propagation of human HSCs ex vivo, we screened libraries of annotated small molecules in human cord blood cells using an optimized assay for detection of functional HSCs during culture. We found that the antifungal agent ciclopirox ethanolamine (CPX) selectively supported immature CD34+CD90+ cells during culture and enhanced their long-term in vivo repopulation capacity. Purified HSCs treated with CPX showed a reduced cell division rate and an enrichment of HSC-specific gene expression patterns. Mechanistically, we found that the HSC stimulating effect of CPX was directly mediated by chelation of the intracellular iron pool, which in turn affected iron-dependent proteins and enzymes mediating cellular metabolism and respiration. Our findings unveil a significant impact of iron homeostasis in regulation of human HSCs, with important implications for both basic HSC biology and clinical hematology.

Abstract
To investigate the value of T2* technique on 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluating the changes of cardiac and hepatic iron load before and after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients with thalassemia (TM), the 141 TM patients were divided into 6 group for subgroup analysis: 6, 12, 18, 24 and > 24 months group, according to the postoperative interval. The T2* values of heart and liver (H-T2*, L-T2*) were quantified in TM patients before and after HSCT using 3.0 T MRI T2* technology, and the corresponding serum ferritin (SF) was collected at the same time, and the changes of the three before and after HSCT were compared. The overall H-T2* (P = 0.001) and L-T2* (P = 0.041) of patients after HSCT were higher than those before HSCT (mean relative changes = 19.63%, 7.19%). The H-T2* (P < 0.001) and L-T2* (P < 0.001) > 24 months after HSCT were significantly higher than those before HSCT (mean relative changes = 69.19%, 93.73%). The SF of 6 months (P < 0.001), 12 months (P = 0.008), 18 months (P = 0.002) and > 24 months (P = 0.001) were significantly higher than those before HSCT (mean relative changes = 57.93%, 73.84%, 128.51%, 85.47%). There was no significant improvement in cardiac and liver iron content in TM patients within 24 months after HSCT, while the reduction of cardiac and liver iron content in patients is obvious when > 24 months after HSCT.

Abstract
Multiple organs, including the testes, are damaged by iron overload. It has been shown that N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) influences oxidative stress in iron overload. The present study aimed to evaluate the roles of acetylated peptide (AOP) and NAC in the inhibition of iron-overload induced-testicular damage. At the beginning of the experiment, NAC (150 mg /kg) was given for a week to all 40 rats. Then, four groups were formed by dividing the animals (10 rats/group). Group I included healthy control rats. Group II (iron overload) was given intraperitoneal iron dextran (60 mg/kg/day) 5 days a week for 4 weeks. Group III (NAC) was given NAC orally at a dose of 150 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks in addition to iron dextran. Group IV (AOP) was given AOP orally at a dose of 150 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks besides iron dextran. When the experiment time was over, testosterone serum level, testicular B cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) and protein kinase B (PKB) protein levels, nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), and Beclin1 mRNA expression levels, and malondialdehyde (MDA), and reduced glutathione (GSH) were determined by ELISA, quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, and chemical methods. Finally, histopathological examinations and immunohistochemical detection of claudin-1 and CD68 were performed. The iron overload group exhibited decreased testosterone, BCL-2, PKB, claudin-1, and GSH and increased MDA, NF-κB, Beclin1, and CD68, while both NAC and AOP treatments protected against the biochemical and histopathological disturbances occurring in the iron overload model. We concluded that NAC and AOP can protect against testes damage by iron overload via their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and ant-autophagic properties. The NAC and AOP may be used as preventative measures against iron overload-induced testicular damage.

Impact of Iron overload and Iron Chelation with deferasirox on outcomes of patients with severe aplastic anemia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Transplant Cell Ther 2023:S2666-6367(23)01254-X. [PMID: 37116582 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2023.04.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 04/02/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 04/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients suffering from severe aplastic anemia (SAA) need frequent blood transfusions during allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, these transfusions can result in an excess of iron in the body tissues, which can negatively impact the success of the transplant. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to examine the impact of pre-transplant iron overload (IO) on the outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA). It also investigated whether iron chelation (IC) therapy was necessary to enhance transplantation outcomes in SAA patients by providing guidelines for determining when excess iron should be chelated. STUDY DESIGN The study consisted of two parts: Cohort 1, which was retrospective and conducted from April 2012 to December 2018, divided SAA patients receiving their first allo-HSCT into two groups based on their pre-transplant serum ferritin (SF) levels: the iron overload (IO) group (SF >1000 ng/ml, n=17) and the non-IO group (SF ≤ 1000 ng/ml, n=48). Cohort 2 was a prospective clinical trial conducted from January 2019 to July 2020. It involved SAA patients diagnosed with IO who were treated with iron chelation (IC) therapy using deferasirox (DFX) at a dose of 10-30 mg/kg. Patients were separated into two groups based on their pre-transplant SF levels: the IC success (ICsuccess) group (SF ≤ 1000 ng/ml, n=18) and the IC failure (ICfailure) group (SF >1000 ng/ml, n=28) groups. All participants were evaluated for the correlation between pre-transplant SF levels and transplantation outcomes. A P-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the speed of engraftment for the three lineages or in the incidence of 100-day grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), grade III-IV aGVHD, or 3-year chronic GVHD between the two groups in both cohorts. However, in cohort 1, it was noteworthy that 1-year OS (83.3% vs. 41.2%, p < 0.001) and 3-year OS (83.3% vs. 35.3%, p < 0.001) were significantly worse in the IO group. Furthermore, 180-day TRM (14.6% vs. 47.1%, p = 0.005) and 1-year TRM (16.7% vs. 52.9%, p = 0.002) were significantly higher in the IO group. The IO group was significantly associated with inferior 3-year OS in both univariate and multivariate analyses. In cohort 2, it was found that 1-year OS (42.9% vs. 88.9%, p = 0.003) and 3-year OS (42.9% vs. 83.3%, p = 0.007) were significantly better in the ICsuccess group, while 180-day TRM (11.1% vs. 39.3%, p = 0.040) and 1-year TRM (11.1% vs. 57.1%, p = 0.003) were significantly lower in the ICsuccess group. These differences were confirmed in both univariate and multivariate analyses. CONCLUSIONS The study involving two cohorts showed that pre-HSCT iron overload has a negative impact on transplantation outcomes in SAA patients. Chelating excess iron with a serum ferritin level below 1000 ng/ml was found to be necessary and could potentially improve the outcomes.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the only consolidated, potentially curative treatment for patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia major. In the past few decades, several new approaches have reduced the toxicity of conditioning regimens and decreased the incidence of graft-versus-host disease, improving patients' outcomes and quality of life. In addition, the progressive availability of alternative stem cell sources from unrelated or haploidentical donors or umbilical cord blood has made HSCT a feasible option for an increasing number of subjects lacking an human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical sibling. This review provides an overview of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in thalassemia, reassesses current clinical results, and discusses future perspectives.

Abstract
Gums and carrageenans are food additives widely used in food preparations to improve texture and as viscosifiers. Although they are typically added in small amounts, nowadays people tend to use more and more pre-prepared food. In this work, the content of a wide panel of trace elements in commercial products were analyzed. Carrageenans and gums (n = 13) were purchased in the Portuguese market and were from European suppliers. Samples were solubilized by closed-vessel microwave-assisted acid digestion and analyzed by ICP-MS. Globally, the content of essential trace elements decreased in the following order: Fe (on average, on the order of several tens of µg/g) > Mn > Zn > Cr > Cu > Co > Se > Mo (typically < 0.1 µg/g), while the content of non-essential/toxic trace elements decreased in the following order: Al > Sr > Rb > As > Li > Cd > Pb > Hg. The consumption of these food additives can significantly contribute to the daily requirements of some essential trace elements, namely Cr and Mo. The toxic trace elements Cd, As, Pb, and Hg were below the EU regulatory limits in all analyzed samples. Additional research is needed to define the potential risk of introducing toxic trace elements into food products through the use of these additives.

Abstract
Impaired levels of selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn) and iodine (I) in the organism may adversely affect the thyroid endocrine system. These trace elements play a role in the fight against oxidative stress as components of enzymes. Oxidative-antioxidant imbalance is considered a possible factor in many pathological conditions, including various thyroid diseases. In the available literature, there are few scientific studies showing a direct correlation of the effect of supplementation of trace elements on slowing down or preventing the occurrence of thyroid diseases in combination with the improvement of the antioxidant profile, or through the action of these elements as antioxidants. Among the available studies, it has been shown that an increase in lipid peroxidation levels and a decrease in the overall antioxidant defense status occur during such thyroid diseases as thyroid cancer, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and dysthyroidism. In studies in which trace elements were supplemented, the following were observed: a decrease in the level of malondialdehyde after supplementation with Zn during hypothyroidism and reduction in the malondialdehyde level after Se supplementation with a simultaneous increase in the total activity status and activity of antioxidant defense enzymes in the course of autoimmune thyroiditis. This systematic review aimed to present the current state of knowledge about the relationship between trace elements and thyroid diseases in terms of oxidoreductive homeostasis.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only curative treatment for many patients suffering from hematologic malignancies, solid tumors, inborn errors of metabolism or genetic disorders. Despite decades of successful HSCT, clinical outcomes are still far from satisfactory due to treatment-related complications, including graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and cardiovascular complications (CVC). CVC may affect patients in the acute period post-HSCT; however, the occurrence is far higher among long-term survivors. Induction treatment using cardiotoxic treatments, e.g., anthracyclines and radiotherapy, conditioning regimens containing cyclophosphamide, and post-HSCT comorbidities, including GvHD, are factors contributing to CVC. Cardiac function evaluation prior to and post-transplantation is an important strategy for choosing the proper conditioning regimen, HSCT protocol and post-HSCT supportive care. Cardiac systolic function evaluation by echocardiography, in addition to serum cardiac biomarkers, such as troponins and brain natriuretic peptides, is recommended as a routine follow-up for HSCT patients. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin-II-receptor blockers, and beta-blockers, which are mostly used for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity, might be used as treatments for HSCT-related CVC. In summary, the present review reveals the urgent need for further investigations concerning HSCT-related CVC both at the preclinical and clinical levels due to the lack of knowledge about CVC and its underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplant (haplo-HSCT) provides an important alternative for children and adolescents with acquired severe aplastic anemia (SAA) lacking matched donors. To test whether pretransplant serum ferritin (SF) represents a candidate predictor for survival and a potential biomarker for graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) in pediatric haplo-HSCT, we retrospectively evaluated 147 eligible patients with SAA who underwent haplo-HSCT. The patients were divided into the low-SF group (< 1000 ng/mL) and the high-SF group (≥ 1000 ng/mL). We found that SF ≥1000 ng/mL independently increased the risk of grade II-IV aGvHD (HR = 2.596; 95% CI, 1.304-5.167, P = 0.007) and grade III-IV aGvHD (HR = 3.350; 95% CI, 1.162-9.658, P = 0.025). Similar probabilities of transplant-related mortality at 100 days were observed in the two groups (6.19 ± 2.45% vs 8.00 ± 3.84%, P = 0.168). The two-year overall survival (85.29 ± 3.89% vs 92.00% ± 3.84%, P = 0.746) and failure-free survival (83.23% ± 4.08% vs 83.37% ± 6.27%, P = 0.915) were comparable. GvHD-/failure-free survival were 60.06 ± 5.10% and 75.56 ± 6.87%, respectively (P = 0.056). In conclusion, elevated pretransplant SF level is associated with higher incidences of grade II-IV aGvHD and grade III-IV aGvHD. However, it is not associated with worse survival after haplo-HSCT for children and adolescent patients with SAA.

Abstract
Modern treatment modalities in hematology have improved clinical outcomes of patients with hematological malignancies. Nevertheless, many new or conventional anticancer drugs affect the cardiovascular system, resulting in various cardiac disorders, including left ventricular dysfunction, heart failure, arterial hypertension, myocardial ischemia, cardiac rhythm disturbances, and QTc prolongation on electrocardiograms. As these complications may jeopardize the significantly improved outcome of modern anticancer therapies, it is crucial to become familiar with all aspects of cardiotoxicity and provide appropriate care promptly to these patients. In addition, established and new drugs contribute to primary and secondary cardiovascular diseases prevention. This review focuses on the clinical manifestations, preventive strategies, and pharmaceutical management of cardiotoxicity in patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing anticancer drug therapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
Moving from indication to transplantation is a critical process in myelofibrosis. Most of guidelines specifically focus on either myelofibrosis disease or transplant procedure, and, currently, no distinct indication for the management of MF candidates to transplant is available. Nevertheless, this period of time is crucial for the transplant outcome because engraftment, non-relapse mortality, and relapse incidence are greatly dependent upon the pre-transplant management. Based on these premises, in this review, we will go through the path of identification of the MF patients suitable for a transplant, by using disease-specific prognostic scores, and the evaluation of eligibility for a transplant, based on performance, comorbidity, and other combined tools. Then, we will focus on the process of donor and conditioning regimens’ choice. The pre-transplant management of splenomegaly and constitutional symptoms, cytopenias, iron overload and transplant timing will be comprehensively discussed. The principal aim of this review is, therefore, to give a practical guidance for managing MF patients who are potential candidates for allo-HCT.

Abstract
Iron chelation therapy (ICT) is an important tool in the treatment of transfusion-dependent lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients. ICT is effective in decreasing iron overload and consequently in limiting its detrimental effects on several organs, such as the heart, liver, and endocrine glands. Besides this effect, ICT also proved to be effective in improving peripheral cytopenia in a significant number of MDS patients, thus further increasing the clinical interest of this therapeutic tool. In the first part of the review, we will analyze the toxic effect of iron overload and its mechanism. Subsequently, we will revise the clinical role of ICT in various subsets of MDS patients (low, intermediate, and high risk MDS, patients who are candidates for allogeneic stem cell transplantation).

Abstract
Advances in chemotherapy and supportive therapy have resulted in improved clinical outcomes in patients with hematological malignancies undergoing hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). However, the association between HSCT and early- and late-onset cardiotoxicity remains controversial as these cardiac complications, including acute heart failure and arrhythmia, such as atrial fibrillation, can occasionally be lethal. Although the overall pathophysiology has not been elucidated, initial/salvage chemotherapy before HSCT, such as anthracycline-combined regimens, conditioning regimens, thoracic radiotherapy, and pre-existing personal risk factors, could be associated with an increased risk of cardiac events. Routine monitoring of cardiac function using global longitudinal strain or left ventricular ejection fraction in echocardiogram and serum biomarkers could be an option to detect early changes in cardiac status before irreversible cardiac complications develop. While beta-blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors are commonly used for cardioprotection, their clinical benefit has not been fully established in HSCT-associated cardiotoxicity. In the future, genetic analysis to reveal individual vulnerability to cardiotoxicity and prospective trials assessing the clinical benefit of early interventions, including novel agents such as angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor, are warranted. Collaboration between oncologists and cardiologists is crucial to establishing a strategy to prevent cardiac complications.
