Abstract
Pregnancy is a highly regulated biological phenomenon that involves the development of a semi-allogeneic fetus inside the uterus of the mother. The maternal-fetal interface is a critical junction where communication takes place between the fetal and maternal immune systems, which determine the outcome of the pregnancy. The interface is composed of the decidua and placenta. The main cells present at the maternal-fetal interface include invading trophoblasts, maternal immune cells, and decidual stromal cells. Although maternal tolerance is crucial for maintaining a successful pregnancy, the role of the placenta in pregnancy is also important. Dysregulation of the placenta leads to various placenta-mediated complications, such as preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, and placental abruption. Although the exact mechanism involving these complications is unclear, research has elucidated various factors involved in these pregnancy disorders. This review aimed to provide a summary of the maternal-fetal interface and immune mechanisms involved in placenta-mediated complications.

Abstract
Background Several genetic association studies have analyzed the link between the catalase ( CAT) C262T variant and different cancers, but the findings remain controversial. Our research centered on establishing a comprehensive correlation between the C262T variant and different cancers. Methods This study was conducted using RevMan 5.4 software following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. For this meta-analysis, 53 case-control studies (18,258 cases and 47,476 controls) were chosen. Results The analysis revealed that three genetic models were statistically linked ( P < 0.05) to overall cancer susceptibility in codominant model 2 (COD2): odds ratio (OR) = 1.16, COD3: OR = 1.21, recessive model (RM): OR = 1.20). After stratification by ethnicity, a significant link ( P < 0.05) was found in Caucasians (COD2: OR = 1.18, COD3: OR = 1.17, over-dominant model (ODM): OR = 1.19) and Asians (COD3: OR = 1.49). Subgroup analyses revealed a significant correlation ( P < 0.05) with blood-and-bone-marrow-related cancer, skin cancer, gastrointestinal-tract-related cancer, prostate cancer, and gynecologic cancer. Three genetic models in population-based controls (COD2: OR = 1.19, COD3: OR = 1.17, RM: OR = 1.19) and two genetic models in hospital-based controls (COD3: OR = 1.40, RM: OR = 1.24) were found to be significantly correlated ( P < 0.05) with cancer. Also, three genetic models for polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (COD3: OR = 1.46; RM: OR = 1.34, ODM: OR = 0.80) and three models for MALDI-TOF + MassARRAY (COD2: OR = 1.32, RM: OR = 1.26, allele model: OR = 1.14) genotyping methods showed significant association ( P < 0.05) with cancer. The meta-regression showed that the quality scores might be a source of significant heterogeneity under the COD2 model (coefficient = 0.176, P = 0.029). Trial sequential analysis also validated the adequacy of the sample size on overall findings. Conclusion Our results indicate that CAT C262T variant is associated with overall cancer susceptibility, especially in Caucasians and Asians. This variant may also be associated with blood-and-bone-marrow-related, GIT-related, prostate, skin, and gynecological cancers.

Elevated levels of oxidized nucleosides in individuals with the JAK2V617F mutation from a general population study. Redox Biol 2021; 41:101895.

Abstract
It is unknown if the somatic mutations in chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), JAK2V617F and Calreticulin, are associated with oxidative stress, or impaired mitochondrial defense against reactive oxygen species. In the Danish General Suburban Population Study (GESUS), including 116 JAK2V617F-mutated, 8 CALR-mutated, and 3310 mutation-negative participants without overt MPN, and in a study of 39 patients with myelofibrosis, the most advances type of MPNs, and 179 matched controls, we compared the urinary concentration of oxidized nucleosides – 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine (8-oxoGuo) – as markers of oxidative stress. In GESUS, we performed Mendelian randomization analyses, using the Ala16Val single nucleotide polymorphism in the superoxide dismutase2 (SOD2) gene. In the multivariate analyses in GESUS, the 8-oxodG and 8-oxoGuo concentration were 13% (95%CI: 6–21%, p < 0.001) and 6% (95%CI: 0.4–11%, p = 0.035) higher in mutation-positive than in mutation-negative participants, respectively. Each SOD2 T allele was associated with an odds ratio of being mutation-positive of 1.69 (95%CI: 1.12–2.55, p = 0.013) through 8-oxodG. The 8-oxodG and 8-oxoGuo concentrations were 77% (95%CI: 49–110%, p < 0.001) and 105% (95%CI: 80–133%, p < 0.001) higher in myelofibrosis patients than in controls, respectively. In conclusion, an impaired mitochondrial antioxidative defense, that is causatively associated with markers of oxidative stress, may contribute to the development of mutations associated with MPNs.

Synergic Crosstalk between Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Genomic Alterations in BCR-ABL-Negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasm. Antioxidants (Basel) 2020; 9:antiox9111037. [PMID: 33114087 PMCID: PMC7690801 DOI: 10.3390/antiox9111037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2020] [Revised: 10/06/2020] [Accepted: 10/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) have recently been revealed to be related to chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species. It has been proposed that MPNs represent a human inflammation model for tumor advancement, in which long-lasting inflammation serves as the driving element from early tumor stage (over polycythemia vera) to the later myelofibrotic cancer stage. It has been theorized that the starting event for acquired stem cell alteration may occur after a chronic inflammation stimulus with consequent myelopoietic drive, producing a genetic stem cell insult. When this occurs, the clone itself constantly produces inflammatory components in the bone marrow; these elements further cause clonal expansion. In BCR-ABL1-negative MPNs, the driver mutations include JAK 2, MPL, and CALR. Transcriptomic studies of hematopoietic stem cells from subjects with driver mutations have demonstrated the upregulation of inflammation-related genes capable of provoking the development of an inflammatory state. The possibility of acting on the inflammatory state as a therapeutic approach in MPNs appears promising, in which an intervention operating on the pathways that control the synthesis of cytokines and oxidative stress could be effective in reducing the possibility of leukemic progression and onset of complications.

The impact of CYP2D6*4 and GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphisms on the susceptibility to develop BCR-ABL1 negative myeloproliferative neoplasms. Mol Biol Rep 2020; 47:7413-7420.

Abstract
Inter-individual variations in the genes encoding xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes have been reported to alter susceptibility to various diseases involving hematological disorders. The purpose of this case-control study was to investigate the relationship between CYP2D6*4 and GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphisms and the risk of developing BCR-ABL1 negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). PCR-RFLP was used for genotyping single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in CYP2D6 and GSTP1 in 139 patients with MPN and 126 controls. There was a significantly increased risk for developing BCR-ABL1 negative MPN for the group bearing the CYP2D6*4 variant allele (X2: 4.487; OR 1.738; 95% CI 1.040-2.904; p = 0.034). The platelet count was higher in CYP2D6*4 allele carriers (p = 0.047). There was no association between the GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism and the risk of developing MPNs. MPN patients bearing the GSTP1 Ile105Val variant allele had a higher prevalence of bleeding complications (X2: 7.510; OR 4.635; 95% CI 1.466-14.650; p = 0.006). Our study provides new data that the CYP2D6*4 polymorphism may be associated with an increased risk to develop MPNs while the GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism does not show such an association. To our knowledge, the current study is the first to investigate the relationship between CYP2D6*4 and GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphisms and the risk of developing MPNs in the Turkish population. Further studies with more patients and controls are needed to support our data.

Genetic polymorphisms associated with telomere length and risk of developing myeloproliferative neoplasms. Blood Cancer J 2020; 10:89.

Abstract
Telomere length measured in leukocyte (LTL) has been found to be associated with the risk of developing several cancer types, including myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). LTL is genetically determined by, at least, 11 SNPs previously shown to influence LTL. Their combination in a score has been used as a genetic instrument to measure LTL and evaluate the causative association between LTL and the risk of several cancer types. We tested, for the first time, the “teloscore” in 480 MPN patients and 909 healthy controls in a European multi-center case–control study. We found an increased risk to develop MPNs with longer genetically determined telomeres (OR = 1.82, 95% CI 1.24–2.68, P = 2.21 × 10−3, comparing the highest with the lowest quintile of the teloscore distribution). Analyzing the SNPs individually we confirm the association between TERT-rs2736100-C allele and increased risk of developing MPNs and we report a novel association of the OBFC1-rs9420907-C variant with higher MPN risk (ORallelic = 1.43; 95% CI 1.15–1.77; P = 1.35 × 10−3). Consistently with the results obtained with the teloscore, both risk alleles are also associated with longer LTL. In conclusion, our results suggest that genetically determined longer telomeres could be a risk marker for MPN development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research into Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms is heterogeneous. In addition, no systematization of studies of polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) or primary myelofibrosis (PMF) have been carried out. The objective of this review is to characterize studies on BCR-ABL1-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms and to compare the frequency of JAK2, MPL and CALR mutations in PV, ET and PMF. METHOD A systematic review of the scientific literature was conducted, as was meta-analysis with an ex-ante selection of protocol, according to phases of the PRISMA guide in three interdisciplinary databases. To guarantee reproducibility in the pursuit and retrieval of information, the reproducibility and methodological quality of the studies were evaluated by two researchers. RESULTS Fifty-two studies were included, the majority having been carried out in the United States, China, Brazil and Europe. The frequency of the JAK2V617F mutation ranged from 46.7 to 100% in patients with PV, from 31.3 to 72.1% in patients with ET, and from 25.0 to 85.7% in those with PMF. The frequency of the MPL mutation was 0% in PV, from 0.9 to 12.5% in ET, and from 0 to 17.1% in PMF. The CALR mutation occurred at a frequency of 0.0% in PV, whereas in ET, it ranged from 12.6 to 50%, and in PMF, it ranged from 10 to 100%. The risk of this mutation presenting in PV is 3.0 times that found for ET and 4.0 times that found for PMF. CONCLUSION Given the specificity and reported high frequencies of the JAK2V617F, MPL and CALR mutations in this group of neoplasms, the diagnosis of these diseases should not be made on clinical and hematological characteristics alone but should include genetic screening of patients.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is a disturbance in the equilibrium among free radicals, reactive oxygen species, and endogenous antioxidant defense mechanisms. Oxidative stress is a result of imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and the biological system's ability to detoxify the reactive intermediates or to repair the resulting damage. Mounting evidence has implicated oxidative stress in various physiological and pathological processes, including DNA damage, proliferation, cell adhesion, and survival of cancer cells. Glutathione peroxidases (GPxs) (EC 1.11.1.9) are an enzyme family with peroxidase activity whose main biological roles are to protect organisms from oxidative damage by reducing lipid hydroperoxides as well as free hydrogen peroxide. Currently, 8 sub-members of GPxs have been identified in humans, all capable of reducing H2O2 and soluble fatty acid hydroperoxides. A large number of publications has demonstrated that GPxs have significant roles in different stages of carcinogenesis. In this review, we will update recent progress in the study of the roles of GPxs in cancer. Better mechanistic understanding of GPxs will potentially contribute to the development and advancement of improved cancer treatment models.
