Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the main curative therapy for hematological malignancy such as leukemias, lymphomas, or multiple myelomas and some other hematological disorders. In this therapy, cure of hematological diseases relies on graft-versus-malignancy effects by allogenic immune cells. However, severe posttransplant treatment-associated complications such as acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) and chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) limit this approach. Most research into GvHD has concentrated on the aGvHD, while the more complex and multifaceted chronic form has been largely poorly investigated. cGvHD is a multi-organ autoimmune disorder and is the major cause of non-relapse morbidity and mortality following allo-HSCT, occurring in about 50% of patients, or 13,000–15,000 patients per year worldwide. Therefore, there is a high medical need for an early prediction of these therapy-associated toxicities. Biomarkers have gained importance over the last decade in diagnosis, in prognosis, and in prediction of pending diseases or side effects. Biomarkers can be cells, factors isolated from target tissues, or soluble factors that can be detected in body fluids. In this review, we aim to summarize some of the recent developments of biomarkers in the field of allo-HSCT. We will focus on cell-based biomarkers (B-cell subsets) for cGvHD and soluble factors including microRNA (miRNA), which are excreted into serum/plasma and urine. We also discuss the potential role of cytosolic and extracellular 70 kDa heat shock proteins (HSP70) as potential biomarkers for aGvHD and their role in preclinical models. Proteomic biomarkers in the blood have been used as predictors of treatment responses in patients with aGvHD for many years. More recently, miRNAs have been found to serve as a biomarker to diagnose aGvHD in the plasma. Another development relates to urine-based biomarkers that are usually detected by capillary electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. These biomarkers have the potential to predict the development of severe aGvHD (grades III–IV), overall mortality, and the pending development of cGvHD in patients posttransplant.

Kim JH, Hong YC. HSP70-hom gene polymorphisms modify the association of diethylhexyl phthalates with insulin resistance. ENVIRONMENTAL AND MOLECULAR MUTAGENESIS 2014; 55:727-34. [PMID: 25044062 DOI: 10.1002/em.21884] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2014] [Accepted: 05/23/2014] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
Recent studies suggest that diethylhexyl phthalates (DEHP) could contribute to the development of insulin resistance (IR) through oxidative stress, and that heat shock protein (HSP) could be related with the association between DEHP and IR. Therefore, we evaluated the effect modification of genetic polymorphisms of HSP70-hom, an oxidative stress related gene, on the relation between exposure to DEHP and IR. We obtained repeated blood and urine samples from 414 elderly female participants and measured urinary levels of mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP) and mono-(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate (MEOHP) as metabolites of DEHP. We also measured serum levels of fasting glucose and insulin, derived the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) index to assess IR, and genotyped two HSP70-hom polymorphisms (rs2227956 and rs2075800). A mixed effect model and penalized regression spline were used to estimate the associations between DEHP exposure and IR by genetic polymorphisms. The molar sum of MEHHP and MEOHP (∑DEHP) were significantly associated with HOMA (β = 0.30, P = 0.022). When stratified by genotype at rs2227956, the relationship between ∑DEHP and HOMA was statistically significant in participants with TT (β = 0.32, P = 0.048) or TC (β = 0.60, P = 0.008), while at rs2075800 there was a marginal association for the GA genotype (β = 0.33, P = 0.097). When haplotypes were constituted across the two HSP70-hom polymorphisms (rs2227956 and rs2075800), the association was apparent only in participants with the T-A haplotype (β = 0.39, P = 0.029). Our study suggests that HSP70-hom polymorphisms modify the association of DEHP with IR.
