Abstract
CD30 is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily and expressed in both normal and malignant lymphoid cells. However, the role of CD30 in lymphopoiesis is not known. In this study, we showed CD30 was expressed both in T and B cells, but its deficiency in mice had no effect on T- and B-cell development. In fact, CD30 deficiency attenuated B-cell response to T-cell-dependent antigens. The impaired B cell response in CD30-deficient mice is caused by the reduction of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) expression. Moreover, CD30-deficient mice exhibited decreased TCR-mediated T cell proliferation and slightly impaired TCR signaling. High-throughput RNA sequencing analysis revealed that CD30 deficiency led to a decrease of FOXO-autophagy axis in T cells upon TCR stimulation. Thus, CD30 positively regulates T-cell-dependent immune response and T cell proliferation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma(SPTCL) is a very rare cytotoxic T-cell skin lymphoma involving subcutaneous tissue, and mainly affects young females. T-cell phenotype is characterized by CD3+, CD8+, and CD4-. SPTCT with polycranial neuropathy has rarely been described. SPTCL is believed to show an indolent clinical course unless patients develop haemophagocytic syndrome or sudden respiratory failure. Its treatment has not been established yet. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of intractable SPTCT in a 66-year-old woman with multiple cranial nerve palsies and diabetes. She showed involvement of the bilateral facial nerve, left trigeminal nerve, left auditory nerve, and right oculomotor nerve. The single inconspicuous skin lesion in the trunk presented with an erythematous nodule with a diameter of <5 cm and a slightly pink infiltrated plaque. Electromyography revealed bilateral damage to the facial nerve. Differential immunohistochemical characteristics were observed. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated diffuse CD20 positivity. Cerebral spinal fluid analysis revealed elevated protein levels of 0.92 (0.15-0.45) g/L. Her condition regressed severely over time. She was treated with chemotherapy but died 10 months later, the probable cause of death was lung involvement. CONCLUSION The patient's involvement with the central nervous system may be associated with positivity for CD20. Molecular biomarkers may act as therapeutic targets for SPTCL.

Abstract
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) belongs to the family of receptor tyrosine kinases. Recently, the incidence of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) with ALK rearrangement has raised considerably. The application of ALK-targeted inhibitors such as ceritinib provides an effective therapy for the treatment of ALK-positive cancers. However, with the prolongation of treatment time, the emergence of resistance is inevitable. We found that 1-(4-((5-chloro-4-((2-(isopropylsulfonyl)phenyl)amino)pyrimidin-2-yl)amino)-3-methoxyphenyl)-3-(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)imidazolidin-2-one (ZX-42), a novel ceritinib derivative, could inhibit the proliferation of ALK-positive ALCL cells, induce the apoptosis of Karpas299 cells through the mitochondrial pathway in a caspase-dependent manner. In addition, ZX-42 could suppress ALK and downstream pathways including PI3K/Akt, Erk and JAK3/STAT3 and reduce the nuclear translocation of NFκB by inhibiting TRAF2/IKK/IκB pathway. Taken together, our findings indicate that ZX-42 shows more effective activity than ceritinib against ALK-positive ALCL. We hope this study can provide a direction for the structural modification of ceritinib and lay the foundation for the further development of clinical research in ALK-positive ALCL.

Abstract
Purpose To report a case of bilateral Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH)-like granulomatous pan uveitis secondary to brentuximab vedotin (BV) administration to treat for classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL). Observations A case of bilateral pan uveitis is described, following administration of BV, with features of VKH-like uveitis: presence of inflammatory cells in the anterior and posterior segment, multiple small serous detachments around the optic disc and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) folds confirmed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) as well as hypocyanesent dark dots, disc hyperfluorescence and fuzzy vascular patterns seen on indocyanine green and fluorescein angiography. There were no systemic features of VKH disease. Further etiological investigation showed no clear infectious or inflammatory cause. The uveitis responded well to treatment with corticosteroids and cessation of BV. A relapse occurred a few months later when BV treatment was reinitiated, suggesting a probable adverse event to this drug, according to the Naranjo algorithm. Conclusions We hypothesize that administration of BV can induce a VKH-like uveitis, caused by loss of function of protective CD30+ cells present in the uveal tract, possibly aggravated by collateral damage to surrounding CD30−cells and melanocytes, leading to a uveal immune reaction. It is therefore important for the clinicians using BV to be aware of this adverse event. Growing experience with immunotherapy will provide more clinical insights in these complex immune mechanisms in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The surface protein CD30 is a therapeutic target of monoclonal antibody therapy. Knowledge of the frequency of CD30 expression and its prognostic relevance is therefore interesting, not only in lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) but also in solid tumors of the skin. METHODS A review was completed in PubMed for all published reports of CD30 expression in cutaneous lymphomas, mastocytosis, epithelial tumors and sarcomas from 1982 to April 2019. Only accessible articles in English and German were considered. Entities with an expected CD30 expression, such as CD30-positive LPD, were not evaluated. RESULTS The electronic research identified 1091 articles and a further 34 articles were obtained from manual bibliographic reference. Overall 91 articles were included that examined CD30 expression in various entities of cutaneous neoplasms and matched the inclusion criteria. CONCLUSION Apart from cutaneous CD30-positive LPD, the best-studied group for CD30 expression was mycosis fungoides (MF). CD30 positivity was found in 32% of classical (patch and plaque stage) and in 59.4% cases of transformed MF. CD30 was also frequently expressed in cutaneous mastocytosis (96.5%). In solid tumors, some single reports describe CD30 expression by tumor cells, but CD30-reactive lymphocytes were frequently observed in the tumor microenvironment (TME), especially in keratoacanthoma (KA).

Abstract
Sustained B-cell activation is an important mechanism contributing to B-cell lymphoma (BCL). We aimed to validate four previously reported B-cell activation markers predictive of BCL risk (sCD23, sCD27, sCD30, and CXCL13) and to examine their possible mediating effects on the association between anthropometric and lifestyle factors and major BCL subtypes. Pre-diagnostic serum levels were measured for 517 BCL cases and 525 controls in a nested case-control study. The odds ratios of BCL were 6.2 in the highest versus lowest quartile for sCD23, 2.6 for sCD30, 4.2 for sCD27, and 2.6 for CXCL13. Higher levels of all markers were associated with increased risk of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Following mutual adjustment for the other immune markers, sCD23 remained associated with all subtypes and CXCL13 with FL and DLBCL. The associations of sCD23 with CLL and DLBCL and CXCL13 with DLBCL persisted among cases sampled > 9 years before diagnosis. sCD23 showed a good predictive ability (area under the curve = 0.80) for CLL, in particular among older, male participants. sCD23 and CXCL13 showed a mediating effect between body mass index (positive) and DLBCL risk, while CXCL13 contributed to the association between physical activity (inverse) and DLBCL. Our data suggest a role of B-cell activation in BCL development and a mediating role of the immune system for lifestyle factors.

Abstract
While our understanding of the biology of CD30 in lymphoma continues to evolve, our need to detect and measure its expression at the protein level remains critically important for diagnosis and patient care. In addition to its diagnostic and prognostic utility, CD30 has emerged as a vehicle for drug targeting through the antibody-drug conjugate brentuximab-vedotin (BV). Given the numerous ways that CD30 is utilized and its emergence as a predictive/prognostic biomarker, pathologists must come to a general consensus on the best reporting structure and methodology to ensure appropriate patient care. In this manuscript, we review the indications for testing, various modalities for testing, technical challenges, pitfalls, and potential standards of reporting. The following questions will try to be addressed in the current review article: What defines a "POSITIVE" level of CD30 expression?; How do we evaluate and report CD30 expression?; What are the caveats in the evaluation of CD30 expression?

Abstract
Background: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare T-cell neoplasm, accounting for approximately 3% of adult non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Although NPM1 is the most common fusion partner with ALK, many others have been described, necessitating break-apart FISH studies for confirmation of the diagnosis. TNF receptor-associated factor 1 (TRAF1) is a rare ALK partner that is thought to confer a worse prognosis in patients. We describe the utility of next-generation sequencing (NGS) RNA analysis in detection of this uncommon ALK partner. Case Description: A 42-year-old male with cervical lymphadenopathy presented for excisional biopsy. Following a tissue diagnosis of ALCL, ALK+, RNA from the biopsy was extracted from Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue and prepared for Anchored Multiplex PCR using the Archer® FusionPlex® v2 assay, which employs unidirectional gene-specific primers using NGS to detect novel or unknown gene partners. Results: Histologic evaluation of the excised lymph node showed atypical cells, including “horseshoe/kidney”-shaped nuclei. Neoplastic cells were immunoreactive against CD30, ALK (diffuse, cytoplasmic), CD2, CD4, granzyme B, and TIA-1. A diagnosis of ALCL, ALK+ was made. The pattern of ALK immunostaining suggested a non-NPM1-associated ALK translocation pattern, prompting further investigation. NGS fusion analysis showed a translocation involving exon 7 of TRAF1 and exon 20 of ALK. Conclusion: ALK positivity suggests an overall favorable prognosis of ALCL as compared to ALK-negative cases. However, in the rare published cases of TRAF1-ALK, an aggressive clinical course has been observed, which may reflect the aggressive propensity of this particular fusion, as these cases appear to be refractory to standard chemotherapy and also to the first generation ALK inhibitors. This study highlights the advantage of using NGS in RNA-based fusion assays to detect rare translocations, which can be of some clinical importance in detecting rare but aggressive fusion partners of ALK. As these technologies become more available, there is potential to identify such changes and effectively stratify the prognosis of ALCL patients.

Abstract
There is an unmet need for new therapies in metastatic ovarian cancer and basal-like breast cancer since no curative therapies are currently available. Immunotherapy has shown to be active in several solid tumors, but particularly more in those where a pre-activated immune state does exist. In this work, we aim to identify biomarkers that could distinguish immune-activated tumors and predict response to therapies in ovarian and basal-like breast cancer, as well as their association with the level of tumor immune infiltration. We found that the combined expression of IFNG, CD30, CXCL13, and PRF1 correlated with better overall survival (OS) in advanced stage ovarian cancer. This was confirmed using an independent dataset from TCGA. Interestingly, we observed that this gene combination also predicted for better prognosis in ovarian tumors with low mutational load, which typically respond less to immunotherapy. Expression of IFNG, CD30, CXCL13, and PRF1 was associated with increased level of immune infiltrates (CD8+ T cells, dendritic cells, and neutrophils) within the tumor. Moreover, we found that these gene signature also correlated with an increased OS and with a higher level of tumor immune infiltrates (B cells, CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, neutrophils, and dendritic cells) in basal-like breast cancer. In conclusion, our analysis identifies genes signatures with potential to recognize immune activated ovarian and basal-like breast cancers with favorable prognosis and with a remarkable predictive capacity in tumors with low mutational burden. The presented results led to a hypothesis being formulated, but prospective clinical studies are needed to support a potential clinical application.

High intratumoural galectin-1 expression predicts adverse outcome in ALK - ALCL and CD30 + PTCL-NOS. Hematol Oncol 2020; 38:59-66. [PMID: 31834627 DOI: 10.1002/hon.2702] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2019] [Revised: 10/29/2019] [Accepted: 11/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Galectin-1 (Gal-1) has been associated with adverse prognosis in several cancers including lymphoma entities with CD30 expression. However, Gal-1 expression has not been systematically assessed in peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL). Specimens from 169 nodal PTCL were assessed for intratumoural Gal-1 expression by immunohistochemistry. Overall survival (OS) in groups exhibiting high and low Gal-1 expression was compared in the cohort and in a subset analysis of CD30-positive PTCL only. Gal-1 expression was also correlated with biomarkers of the tumour microenvironment. No significant difference in OS based on Gal-1 expression was observed in the entire PTCL cohort. However, in the CD30-positive cohort, patients with high Gal-1 levels had significantly poorer outcome (5 years OS 10%, 95% confidence interval CI, 1-36) than their low Gal-1 counterparts (5 years OS 48%, 95% CI, 30-64, P = .021). In univariate analyses age 60 or younger, non-elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and performance score less than 2 correlated with superior survival but high Gal-1 expression significantly predicted adverse outcome at both univariate (HR 2.5, 95% CI, 1.1-5.7, P = .026) and multivariate levels (HR 3.2, 95% CI, 1.2-8.5, P = .017). Tumours with high Gal-1 had few cytotoxic T cells in the tumour microenvironment. High intratumoural Gal-1 expression before therapeutic intervention correlates with adverse outcome in nodal CD30+ , ALK- PTCL patients.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy has been shown to be an efficacious therapeutic approach in the treatment of cancers including hematopoietic malignancies. Induction of T cell cytotoxicity against tumors by adoptive cell therapies (ACT), cancer vaccines, gene therapies, and monoclonal antibody therapies has been intensively studied. In particular, immune checkpoint blockade and chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapies are the recent clinical successes in cancer immunotherapy. This article introduces the main concepts and addresses the most relevant clinical modalities of cellular immunotherapies for hematological malignancies: antigen non-specific T cell therapy, genetically modified T cell receptor (TCR) T cell therapy, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, and CAR-T cell clinical trials in leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Clinical trials have shown encouraging results, but future studies may need to incorporate novel CAR constructs or targets with enhanced safety and efficacy to ensure long-term benefits.

Abstract
CD30 is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily. It is characteristically expressed in certain hematopoietic malignancies, including anaplastic large cell lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma, among others. The variable expression of CD30 on both normal and malignant lymphoid cells has focused research efforts on understanding the pathogenesis of CD30 upregulation, its contribution to lymphomagenesis through anti-apoptotic mechanisms, and its effect on cell survival. Given the restriction of CD30 to certain tumor types, the logical extension of this has been to attempt to exploit it as a therapeutic target. The efficacy of naked anti-CD30 antibodies in practice was, however, modest. Moreover, combinations with bacterial toxins and radioimmunoconjugates have also had limited success. The development of the antibody-drug compound brentuximab vedotin (BV), however, has rejuvenated interest in CD30 as a tumor target. Phase I and II clinical trials in Hodgkin lymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma, cutaneous T cell lymphoma, and even CD30-expressing B-cell lymphomas, have shown the compound is well tolerated, but more importantly, able to deliver meaningful disease control even in patients with multiply relapsed or refractory disease. FDA approval has been granted for its use in relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma and systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma. A recent phase III trial of BV in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma has confirmed its superiority to standard of care therapies. In this manuscript, we explore the history of CD30 as a tumor marker and as a therapeutic target, both in the laboratory and in the clinic, with a view to understanding future avenues for further study.

Redox Regulating Enzymes and Connected MicroRNA Regulators Have Prognostic Value in Classical Hodgkin Lymphomas. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2017; 2017:2696071.

Abstract
There are no previous studies assessing the microRNAs that regulate antioxidant enzymes in Hodgkin lymphomas (HLs). We determined the mRNA levels of redox regulating enzymes peroxiredoxins (PRDXs) I–III, manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2 (Nrf2), and Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) from a carefully collected set of 41 classical HL patients before receiving any treatments. The levels of redoxmiRs, miRNAs known to regulate the above-mentioned enzymes, were also assessed, along with CD3, CD20, and CD30 protein expression. RNAs were isolated from freshly frozen lymph node samples and the expression levels were analyzed by qPCR. mir23b correlated inversely with CD3 and CD20 expressions (p = 0.00076; r = −0.523 and p = 0.0012; r = −0.507) and miR144 with CD3, CD20, and CD30 (p = 0.030; r = −0.352, p = 0.041; r = −0.333 and p = 0.0032; r = −0.47, resp.). High MnSOD mRNA levels associated with poor HL-specific outcome in the patients with advanced disease (p = 0.045) and high miR-122 levels associated with worse HL-specific survival in the whole patient population (p = 0.015). When standardized according to the CD30 expression, high miR212 and miR510 predicted worse relapse-free survival (p = 0.049 and p = 0.0058, resp.). In conclusion, several redoxmiRs and redox regulating enzyme mRNA levels associate with aggressive disease outcome and may also produce prognostic information in classical HL.

Abstract
Aptamers are short DNA/RNA oligonucleotides selected by the process called Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX). Due to their functional similarity to monoclonal antibodies with some superior characters, such as high specificity and affinity, flexible modification and stability, and lack of toxicity and immunogenicity, they are promising alternative and complementary targeted therapy for hematologic malignancies. The trends in aptamer technology including production, selection, modifications are briefly discussed in this review. The key aspect is to illustrate aptamers against cancer cells in hematologic malignancies especially those that have entered clinical trials. We also discuss some challenges remain in the application of aptamers.

Abstract
T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with distinct clinical-biological properties. The normal cellular counterpart of these processes has been postulated based on functional and immunophenotypic analyses. However, T lymphocytes have been proven to be remarkably capable of modulating their properties, adapting their function in relationship with multiple stimuli and to the microenvironment. This impressive plasticity is determined by the equilibrium among a pool of transcription factors and by DNA chromatin regulators. It is now proven that the acquisition of specific genomic defects leads to the enforcement/activation of distinct pathways, which ultimately alter the preferential activation of defined regulators, forcing the neoplastic cells to acquire features and phenotypes distant from their original fate. Thus, dissecting the landscape of the genetic defects and their functional consequences in T-cell neoplasms is critical not only to pinpoint the origin of these tumors but also to define innovative mechanisms to re-adjust an unbalanced state to which the tumor cells have become addicted and make them vulnerable to therapies and targetable by the immune system. In our review, we briefly describe the pathological and clinical aspects of the T-cell lymphoma subtypes as well as NK-cell lymphomas and then focus on the current understanding of their pathogenesis and the implications on diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are generally aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas with poor overall survival rates following standard therapy. One-third of PTCLs express interferon regulatory factor-4 (IRF4), a tightly regulated transcription factor involved in lymphocyte growth and differentiation. IRF4 drives tumor growth in several lymphoid malignancies and has been proposed as a candidate therapeutic target. Because direct IRF4 inhibitors are not clinically available, we sought to characterize the mechanism by which IRF4 expression is regulated in PTCLs. We demonstrated that IRF4 is constitutively expressed in PTCL cells and drives Myc expression and proliferation. Using an inhibitor screen, we identified nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) as a candidate regulator of IRF4 expression and cell proliferation. We then demonstrated that the NF-κB subunits p52 and RelB were transcriptional activators of IRF4. Further analysis showed that activation of CD30 promotes p52 and RelB activity and subsequent IRF4 expression. Finally, we showed that IRF4 transcriptionally regulates CD30 expression. Taken together, these data demonstrate a novel positive feedback loop involving CD30, NF-κB, and IRF4; further evidence for this mechanism was demonstrated in human PTCL tissue samples. Accordingly, NF-κB inhibitors may represent a clinical means to disrupt this feedback loop in IRF4-positive PTCLs.

Abstract
Angiosarcoma (AS) is a rare malignant vascular tumor, whereas epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a vascular tumor of low-grade malignancy. CD30 is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 8 (TNFRSF8). Although the expression of CD30 is most commonly associated with lymphoid malignancies or germ cell tumors, occasional ASs have been reported as CD30 positive. However, there are limited data to evaluate its role definitively in malignant vascular tumors. In this study, we evaluated 91 ASs, 30 EHEs from various sites, and 25 Kaposi sarcomas. Overall, CD30 was expressed in 31/91 cases (34%) of AS, in 7/30 cases (30%) of EHE, but in none of the Kaposi sarcomas. CD30 was expressed in a membranous staining pattern and positivity in tumor cells varied from focal to diffuse. The positive ASs included vasoformative more differentiated tumors and also solid, undifferentiated, lymphoma-like examples, one of which was classified as lymphoma before the era of immunohistochemistry. The CD30 expression was seen in >50% of tumor cells in a majority of ASs but only in 7% of EHEs. None of the 55 ASs studied were immunohistochemically positive for TIA-1 or Granzyme B, antigens used as more specific markers for anaplastic large-cell lymphoma. Compared with AS, normal vascular endothelia of capillaries and muscular vessels showed variable positivity. Among hemangiomas, cavernous and spindle cell hemangiomas showed most frequent endothelial CD30 positivity, whereas in most other hemangiomas, CD30 positivity was scant. In conclusion, CD30 expression occurs in a significant subset of ASs and EHEs and needs to be included in the differential diagnosis with other CD30-positive malignancies to avoid a diagnostic pitfall. It remains to be determined whether patients with strongly CD30-positive ASs could be candidates for targeted therapy using the recently introduced CD30 antibody drug conjugates.

Abstract
CD30 activates NFκB signaling in human embryonic stem cells. A single threonine residue in the CD30v protein is critical for this and recruitment of TRAF2. The data reveal the importance of this interaction for hESC survival and proliferation. CD30 (TNFRSF8), a tumor necrosis factor receptor family protein, and CD30 variant (CD30v), a ligand-independent form encoding only the cytoplasmic signaling domain, are concurrently overexpressed in transformed human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) or hESCs cultured in the presence of ascorbate. CD30 and CD30v are believed to increase hESC survival and proliferation through NFκB activation, but how this occurs is largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that hESCs that endogenously express CD30v and hESCs that artificially overexpress CD30v exhibit increased ERK phosphorylation levels, activation of the canonical NFκB pathway, down-regulation of the noncanonical NFκB pathway, and reduced expression of the full-length CD30 protein. We further find that CD30v, surprisingly, resides predominantly in the nucleus of hESC. We demonstrate that alanine substitution of a single threonine residue at position 61 (T61) in CD30v abrogates CD30v-mediated NFκB activation, CD30v-mediated resistance to apoptosis, and CD30v-enhanced proliferation, as well as restores normal G2/M-checkpoint arrest upon H2O2 treatment while maintaining its unexpected subcellular distribution. Using an affinity purification strategy and LC-MS, we identified TRAF2 as the predominant protein that interacts with WT CD30v but not the T61A-mutant form in hESCs. The identification of Thr-61 as a critical residue for TRAF2 recruitment and canonical NFκB signaling by CD30v reveals the substantial contribution that this molecule makes to overall NFκB activity, cell cycle changes, and survival in hESCs.

Abstract
CD30 is a transmembrane receptor, normally not expressed by mast cells, which regulates proliferation/apoptosis and antibody responses. Aberrant expression of CD30 by mastocytosis mast cells and interaction with its ligand CD30L (CD153) appears to play an important role in the pathogenesis and clinical presentation of systemic mastocytosis. This article highlights the expression profile and role of CD30 and CD30L in physiologic and pathologic conditions, the applicability of CD30 as a marker for systemic mastocytosis, the consequences of mast cell-expressed CD30, and the possibility of future anti-CD30 based cytoreductive therapies.

Abstract
CD30 is highly expressed on Hodgkins lymphoma and anaplastic large cell lymphoma, making it an attractive target for therapy. We describe the generation of serum-stabilized ssDNA aptamers that bind CD30 via a hybrid SELEX methodology. The selected aptamer bound CD30 with high affinity and specificity. Further optimization of the aptamer led to a short, truncated variant with a 50-fold higher affinity than its longer counterpart. The multivalent aptamer was able to induce oligomerization of CD30 receptors and, in effect, activate downstream signaling, which led to apoptosis of ALCL cells. Immunotherapy using aptamer-based co-stimulation provides an alternative to antibodies, and has potential to transform cancer treatment.

Abstract
The transmembrane receptor CD30 (TNFRSF8) and its ligand CD30L (CD153, TNFSF8) are members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily and display restricted expression in subpopulations of activated T-and B-cells in nonpathologic conditions. CD30 expression is upregulated in various hematological malignancies, including Reed-Sternberg cells in Hodgkin's disease (HD), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and subsets of Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs). Increased CD30L expression was found on mast cells within HD tumors and preclinical and clinical studies with compounds targeting the CD30/ CD30L system in HD and ALCL demonstrated therapeutic benefit. Upregulation of CD30 and CD30L is also linked to leukocytes in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases, including lupus erythematosus, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and atopic dermatitis (AD). Preclinical studies conducted with transgenic mice or biologic compounds suggested important regulatory functions of the CD30-CD30L system in various aspects of the immune system. Such key regulatory roles and their low expression in normal conditions combined with increased expression in malignant tissues provided a strong rationale to investigate CD30 and CD30L as therapeutic targets in hematologic malignancies, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. In this report, we review the pharmacodynamic effects of specific therapeutic compounds targeting the CD30/CD30L system in preclinical- and clinical studies.

Abstract
Aptamers are small molecular ligands composed of short oligonucleotides that bind targets with high affinity. In contrast to antibodies, as synthetic oligonucleotides, aptamers have lower production costs and elicit no antigenic reactions. Therefore, aptamers are potential agents for disease diagnosis and treatment. In this study, we validate a fluorescently labeled RNA aptamer, which has been reported to bind specifically to mouse CD30 proteins in solution, for human CD30 protein recognition on intact cells. The aptamer probe was tested with cultured anaplastic large cell lymphoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma cells that express high levels of CD30. Flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy showed specific and sensitive binding of the aptamer probe to CD30-expressing lymphoma cells at low concentrations (0.3 nM). Studies performed on multiple cell lines and nuclear cells from healthy donors confirmed that the CD30 aptamer and anti-CD30 antibody, the standard clinical probe, recognized the same set of cells. The potential application of multicolor flow cytometry analysis using the CD30 aptamer probe and antibodies was also shown. In conclusion, the developed CD30 aptamer probe could act as a replacement and/or a supplement for antibodies in the diagnosis of the CD30-expressing lymphomas.

Abstract
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) involved in the genesis of several human cancers; indeed, ALK was initially identified in constitutively activated and oncogenic fusion forms--the most common being nucleophosmin (NPM)-ALK--in a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) known as anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) and subsequent studies identified ALK fusions in the human sarcomas called inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs). In addition, two recent reports have suggested that the ALK fusion, TPM4-ALK, may be involved in the genesis of a subset of esophageal squamous cell carcinomas. While the cause-effect relationship between ALK fusions and malignancies such as ALCL and IMT is very well established, more circumstantial links implicate the involvement of the full-length, normal ALK receptor in the genesis of additional malignancies including glioblastoma, neuroblastoma, breast cancer, and others; in these instances, ALK is believed to foster tumorigenesis following activation by autocrine and/or paracrine growth loops involving the reported ALK ligands, pleiotrophin (PTN) and midkine (MK). There are no currently available ALK small-molecule inhibitors approved for clinical cancer therapy; however, recognition of the variety of malignancies in which ALK may play a causative role has recently begun to prompt developmental efforts in this area. This review provides a succinct summary of normal ALK biology, the confirmed and putative roles of ALK fusions and the full-length ALK receptor in the development of human cancers, and efforts to target ALK using small-molecule kinase inhibitors.

Abstract
T-Cell leukemias and lymphomas represent a less common and heterogeneous group of lymphoid neoplasms. Overall, they respond less well to chemotherapy and have a poorer prognosis than their B-cell counterparts. T-Cell tumors express a number of potential targets for receptor-directed antibody therapy; however, there is no available therapeutic monoclonal antibody for these diseases with comparable activity to that of rituximab in B-cell disorders. Despite this, alemtuzumab, a humanized anti-CD52 monoclonal antibody has demonstrated meaningful anti-tumor activity in a variety of T-cell malignancies. A number of other antibodies, modified antibodies and immunotoxins directed against targets such as CD2, CD4, CD5, CD25, CD30 and CD122 expressed on malignant T-cells are under investigation. The current status of receptor-directed antibody therapy for T-cell leukemia and lymphoma is reviewed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One immunologic element of the immune system is the CD30 molecule which belongs to the TNF-R superfamily. CD30 can serve as a T-cell signal transducing molecule and is expressed by a subset of activated T lymphocytes, CD45RO(+) memory T cells. Augmentation of soluble CD30 during kidney transplant (Tx) rejection has been reported. Our study was to determine if the level of sCD30 prior to heart transplant (HTx) could categorize the patients (pts) into high or low immunologic risk for post-Tx outcome. METHODS Pre-Tx sera from 100 consecutive HTx recipients were studied. sCD30 was detected by ELISA using the commercially available CD30 monoclonal antibody. Level of sCD30 was correlated with two-yr Tx outcome. RESULTS Significant correlation was seen between the high level of sCD30 and lower incidence of infection. Four of the 35 pts with pre-Tx high level of sCD30 level (>90 U/mL) developed infection post-Tx. However, 31/65 pts who had a low level of sCD30 (<90 U/mL) developed infection post-transplantation (p < 0.0003). No remarkable differences were noted with the other clinical parameters, including mean hospitalization, 3A biopsy rejection or death. CONCLUSIONS We report for the first time that the high level of sCD30 prior to the HTx may be associated with a higher immunologic ability of the pts and therefore, may have a protective effect in the development of infection post-Tx.

Abstract
The thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase thioredoxin-1 (Trx1) is known to be secreted by leukocytes and to exhibit cytokine-like properties. Extracellular effects of Trx1 require a functional active site, suggesting a redox-based mechanism of action. However, specific cell surface proteins and pathways coupling extracellular Trx1 redox activity to cellular responses have not been identified so far. Using a mechanism-based kinetic trapping technique to identify disulfide exchange interactions on the intact surface of living lymphocytes, we found that Trx1 catalytically interacts with a single principal target protein. This target protein was identified as the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 8 (TNFRSF8/CD30). We demonstrate that the redox interaction is highly specific for both Trx1 and CD30 and that the redox state of CD30 determines its ability to engage the cognate ligand and transduce signals. Furthermore, we confirm that Trx1 affects CD30-dependent changes in lymphocyte effector function. Thus, we conclude that receptor–ligand signaling interactions can be selectively regulated by an extracellular redox catalyst.

Abstract
CD30 is a member of the TNF receptor superfamily. Overexpression of CD30 on some neoplasms versus limited expression on normal tissues makes this receptor a promising target for antibody-based therapy. Radioimmunotherapy of cancer with radiolabeled antibodies has shown promise. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of an anti-CD30 antibody, HeFi-1, armed with (211)At in a leukemia (karpas299) model and with (90)Y in a lymphoma (SUDHL-1) model. Furthermore, we investigated the combination therapy of (211)At-HeFi-1 with unmodified HeFi-1 in the leukemia model. Treatment with unmodified HeFi-1 significantly prolonged the survival of the karpas299-bearing mice compared with the controls (P < 0.001). Treatment with (211)At-HeFi-1 showed greater therapeutic efficacy than that with unmodified HeFi-1 as shown by survival of the mice (P < 0.001). Combining these two agents further improved the survival of the mice compared with the groups treated with either (211)At-HeFi-1 (P < 0.05) or unmodified HeFi-1 (P < 0.001) alone. In the lymphoma model, the survival of the SUDHL-1-bearing mice was significantly prolonged by the treatment with (90)Y-HeFi-1 compared with the controls (P < 0.001). In summary, radiolabeled HeFi-1 is very promising for the treatment of CD30-expressing leukemias and lymphomas, and the combination regimen of (211)At-HeFi-1 with unmodified HeFi-1 enhanced the therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
CD30 is an immunologic molecule that belongs to the TNF-R superfamily. CD30 serves as a T-cell signal transducing molecule that is expressed by a subset of activated T lymphocytes, CD45RO+ memory T cells. Augmentation of soluble CD30 during kidney transplant rejection has been reported. Our study sought to determine whether the level of sCD30 prior to heart transplant could categorize patients into high versus low immunologic risk for a poor outcome. A significant correlation was observed between high levels of soluble CD30 and a reduced incidence of infection. None of the 35 patients with high pretransplant levels of sCD30 level (>90 U/mL) developed infections posttransplantation. However, 9 of 65 patients who had low levels of sCD30 (<90 U/mL) developed infections posttransplantation (P < .02). No remarkable differences were noted among the other clinical parameters. The results also showed that the high-definition flow-bead (HDB) assay detected both weak and strong class I and class II HLA antibodies, some of which (weak class II HLA Abs) were undetectable by the anti-human globulin cytotoxicity method. In addition, more antibody specificities were detected by HDB. In conclusion, we have observed that high levels of sCD30 prior to heart transplant may be associated with greater immunologic ability and therefore produce a protective effect on the development of infection post heart transplant. We have also shown that the HDB assay is superior to the visual cytotoxicity method to detect HLA antibodies, especially those to class II HLA antigens.

Abstract
Ligands and receptors in the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and tumour necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamilies have been the subject of extensive investigation over the past 10-15 years. For certain TNFR family members, such as Fas and CD40, some of the consequences of receptor ligation were predicted before the identification and cloning of their corresponding ligands through in vitro functional studies using agonistic receptor-specific antibodies. For other members of the TNFR family, including CD30, cross-linking the receptor with specific antibodies failed to yield many clues about the functional significance of the relevant ligand-receptor interactions. In many instances, the subsequent availability of TNF family ligands in the form of recombinant protein facilitated the determination of biological consequences of interactions with their relevant receptor in both in vitro and in vivo settings. In the case of CD30 ligand (CD30L; CD153), definition of its biological role remained frustratingly elusive. Early functional studies using CD30L+ cells or agonistic CD30-specific antibodies logically focused attention on cell types that had been shown to express CD30, namely certain lymphoid malignancies and subsets of activated T cells. However, it was not immediately clear how the reported activities from these in vitro studies relate to the biological activity of CD30L in the more complex whole animal setting. Recently, results from in vivo models involving CD30 or CD30L gene disruption, CD30L overexpression, or pharmacological blockade of CD30/CD30L interactions have begun to provide clues about the role played by CD30L in immunological processes. In this review we consider the reported biology of CD30L and focus on results from several recent studies that point to an important role for CD30/CD30L interactions in humoral immune responses.

Abstract
CD30 is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family. Overexpression of CD30 on some neoplasms versus its limited expression on normal tissues makes this receptor a promising target for antibody-based therapy. Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) represents a heterogeneous group of aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas characterized by the strong expression of CD30. We investigated the therapeutic efficacy of HeFi-1, a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody, which recognizes the ligand-binding site on CD30, and humanized anti-Tac antibody (daclizumab), which recognizes CD25, in a murine model of human ALCL. The ALCL model was established by intravenous injection of karpas299 cells into nonobese diabetic/severe combined immuno-deficient (SCID/NOD) wild-type or SCID/NOD Fc receptor common gamma chain-deficient (FcRgamma(-/-)) mice. HeFi-1, given at a dose of 100 microg weekly for 4 weeks, significantly prolonged survival of the ALCL-bearing SCID/NOD wild-type and SCID/NOD FcRgamma(-/-) mice (P < .01) as compared with the control groups. In vitro studies showed that HeFi-1 inhibited the proliferation of karpas299 cells, whereas daclizumab did not inhibit cell proliferation. We demonstrated that the expression of FcRgamma on polymorphonuclear leukocytes and monocytes was not required for HeFi-1-mediated tumor growth inhibition in vivo, although it was required for daclizumab.

Abstract
Pediatric non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a common and fascinating group of diseases with distinctive underlying genetic events that characterize the major histologic subtypes: diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, anaplastic large cell lymphoma and lymphoblastic lymphoma. With systematic improvements in therapy over recent decades, the vast majority of children with NHL of all subtypes are now cured. The similarities and differences between adult and childhood presentations of disease, and whether or not some subtypes of NHL and leukemia are the same or different disease entities, are interesting questions that will be addressed with advances in our understanding of the molecular and genetic bases of these diseases. As is the case with other pediatric malignancies, growing emphasis is now being placed on the development of less toxic, targeted therapeutic approaches, and this review highlights some of the biological discoveries that will potentially open these avenues.

Abstract
Abstract5F11, a fully human monoclonal antibody directed against CD30, effectively induces killing of CD30-expressing lymphoma cell lines in vitro and in animal models. A recently conducted phase 1/2 study shows that 5F11 is well tolerated in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed and refractory CD30+ lymphoma and has some clinical activity. In the present study, we demonstrate that 5F11 activates nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and the anti-apoptotic protein cellular FLICE (Fas-associating protein with death domain-like interleukin-1β-converting enzyme) inhibitory protein (c-flip) in Hodgkin lymphoma (HD)-derived cell lines, which might cause apoptosis resistance, thus limiting the clinical use of 5F11. To overcome this resistance, we combined 5F11 with the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib, which has been shown to suppress NF-κB activity. This combination revealed a synergistic cytotoxic effect in vitro and in a human HD xenograft model provided that 5F11 precedes bortezomib treatment. We conclude that initial 5F11-mediated NF-κB signaling sensitizes the tumor cells to bortezomib-induced cell death. These data suggest a therapeutic value of this combination for HD patients.

Abstract
Overexpression of CD30 and constitutive nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation are hallmarks of the malignant Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg (H-RS) cells. Previous investigations have demonstrated that both proliferation and survival of H-RS cells require constitutive NF-kappaB activity, which is comprised of the p50 and RelA subunits. We report here enhanced expression of NF-kappaB2/p52 and RelB-containing NF-kappaB DNA-binding activity in Epstein-Barr virus-negative H-RS cells. Kinetic studies revealed that a proteasome inhibitor MG132 induced p100 accumulation with reduced p52 expression in H-RS cells, suggesting proteasome-dependent processing of p100. In addition, treatment with a protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide rapidly downregulated inhibitor of NF-kappaB (IkappaB) kinase activity in H-RS cells. We also demonstrate that overexpression of CD30 in rat fibroblasts at levels comparable to those in H-RS cells results in constitutive IkappaB kinase activation, proteasome-dependent p100 processing, and NF-kappaB-dependent cell transformation. Our results thus indicate that CD30 triggers the noncanonical NF-kappaB activation pathway, and suggest that deregulated CD30 signaling contributes to the neoplastic features of H-RS cells.

Abstract
Background Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is associated with the development of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). HTLV-1 encoded Tax1 oncoprotein activates the transcription of genes involved in cell growth and anti-apoptosis through the NF-κB pathway, and is thought to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of ATL. While Tax1 expression is usually lost or minimal in ATL cells, these cells still show high constitutive NF-κB activity, indicating that genetic or epigenetic changes in ATL cells induce activation independent of Tax1. The aim of this study was to identify the molecules responsible for the constitutive activation of NF-κB in ATL cells using a retroviral functional cloning strategy. Results Using enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) expression and blasticidin-resistance as selection markers, several retroviral cDNA clones exhibiting constitutive NF-κB activity in Rat-1 cells, including full-length CD30, were obtained from an ATL cell line. Exogenous stable expression of CD30 in Rat-1 cells constitutively activated NF-κB. Elevated expression of CD30 was identified in all ATL lines examined, and primary ATL cells from a small number of patients (8 out of 66 cases). Conclusion Elevated CD30 expression is considered one of the causes of constitutive NF-κB activation in ATL cells, and may be involved in ATL development.

Abstract
We demonstrate that the expression of TRAF1 and activated c-Rel, two proteins that function in signaling events downstream of activated CD30 in Reed-Sternberg cells, reliably distinguish classical Hodgkin lymphoma from anaplastic large cell lymphoma, nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, and nonmediastinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. By immunohistochemistry, we found strong TRAF1 staining in 21 of 25 cases of classical Hodgkin lymphoma. In contrast, strong TRAF1 staining was present in only 1 of 17 cases of anaplastic large cell lymphoma, 0 of 15 cases of lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, and 2 of 36 cases of nonmediastinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Nuclear staining for c-Rel, a pattern consistent with NFkappaB activation, was observed in the Reed-Sternberg cells in 23 of 25 cases of classical Hodgkin lymphoma but only in 1 of 15 cases of anaplastic large cell lymphoma and 3 of 15 cases of nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma. A heterogeneous pattern of subcellular c-Rel localization was found in nonmediastinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Taken together, the combination of strong cytoplasmic TRAF1 expression and nuclear c-Rel was present in 80% of cases of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 25) but in only 3% of cases of the other malignant lymphomas tested (n = 62). Thus, the differential expression patterns of downstream components in the CD30 signaling pathway may prove a useful adjunct in distinguishing cases of classical Hodgkin lymphoma from other malignant lymphomas in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
Due to its selective overexpression on the malignant cells of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) and large cell anaplastic lymphoma (ALCL), CD30 is an excellent target for immunotherapy of these diseases. The fully human monoclonal anti-CD30-antibody 5F11 has been shown to be effective against CD30-expressing cell lines both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, 5F11 shows promising antitumor activity in phase 1/2 clinical trials. To extend these promising results, the authors evaluated combinations of 5F11 with conventional cytostatic drugs against a variety of lymphoma cell lines in vitro. Most combinations tested showed at least additive cytotoxic effects on the HL-derived cell lines L428, L540, and L1236 and the ALCL-derived cell line Karpas 299 as measured by proliferation assays (XTT) and the induction of apoptosis (annexin-V FACS analysis). The most impressive results were detected with the combination of 5F11 and gemcitabine or etoposide. The data suggest that the combination of the human antibody 5F11 with conventional chemotherapy might be beneficial in the combined chemo-immunotherapy of CD30-positive lymphomas.

Abstract
The normal functions of full-length anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) remain to be completely elucidated. Although considered to be important in neural development, recent studies in Drosophila also highlight a role for ALK in gut muscle differentiation. Indeed, the Drosophila model offers a future arena for the study of ALK, its ligands and signalling cascades. The discovery of activated fusion forms of the ALK tyrosine kinase in anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) has dramatically improved our understanding of the pathogenesis of these lymphomas and enhanced the pathological diagnosis of this subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Likewise, the realisation that a high percentage of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours express activated-ALK fusion proteins has clarified the causation of these mesenchymal neoplasms and provided for their easier discrimination from other mesenchymal-derived inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) mimics. Recent reports of ALK expression in a range of carcinoma-derived cell lines together with its apparent role as a receptor for PTN and MK, both of which have been implicated in tumourigenesis, raise the possibility that ALK-mediated signalling could play a role in the development and/or progression of a number of common solid tumours. The therapeutic targeting of ALK may prove to have efficacy in the treatment of many of these neoplasms.

Abstract
NPM-ALK characterizes anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), as does the high expression of CD30, a feature shared with H-RS cells of classic Hodgkin's lymphoma. In H-RS cells, ligand-independent signaling by overexpressed CD30 drives constitutive NF-kappaB activation, which is absent in ALCL cells. Here we show that NPM-ALK impedes CD30 signaling and NF-kappaB activation, dependent on both ALK kinase activity and the N-terminal NPM domain. NPM-ALK transduction into H-RS cell lines abrogates recruitment and aggregation of TRAF proteins, inducing an ALCL-like morphology and phenotype. TRAF2 associates with NPM-ALK at a consensus binding motif located in the kinase domain. Thus, NPM-ALK abrogates CD30-driven NF-kappaB activation and can also induce an ALCL phenotype, distinguishing ALCL cells from H-RS cells of T cell origin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Expression of the cytokine receptor CD30 is a typical feature of anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCL). CD30-induced effects have a great impact on cell activation and viability. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using Karpas 299 cells, we performed differential display reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (DDRT-PCR) to identify novel genes involved in CD30 signaling in ALCL. Activation of CD30 was induced by treatment with immobilized anti-CD30 antibody. RNA and protein expression were confirmed in different cell lines by Northern and Western blot analysis. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis was applied to examine cell viability. Nuclear factor kappaB (NFkappaB) pathways were blocked using a specific inhibitor. RESULTS We found strongly enhanced expression of the cellular inhibitor of apoptosis cIAP1 and cIAP2 in Karpas 299 cells stimulated with anti-CD30. Furthermore, we showed that CD30-regulated expression of cIAP1 and cIAP2 was mediated by NFkappaB. Induction of NFkappaB, cIAP1, and cIAP2 correlated with partial protection from apoptotic cell death caused by etoposide. Correspondingly, inhibition of the NFkappaB pathway not only prevented the prevalent antiapoptotic effects mediated by CD30, but even led to CD30-induced apoptosis. Finally, we found enhanced expression of cIAP1 and cIAP2 in several other ALCL cell lines and the HD-derived cell line HDLM-2 upon CD30 stimulation. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that CD30-mediated protection from apoptosis is a common feature of CD30(+) cells. Therefore, CD30-induced signaling may have a significant impact on the clinical outcome of patients with ALCL.
