Abstract
Persistence of serum antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) is associated with a high thrombotic risk, both arterial and venous, and with pregnancy complications. Due to the potential morbidity and mortality associated with the presence of aPL, identifying and recognizing risk factors for the development of aPL and thrombosis in aPL carriers may help to prevent and reduce the burden of disease. Multiple elements are involved in the pathomechanism of aPL development and aPL-related thrombosis such as genetics, malignancy, and infections. This review will address the role of both well-known risk factors and their evolution, and of emerging risk factors, including COVID-19, in the development of aPL and thrombosis in aPL carriers.

Abstract
Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disorder which is characterized by the presence of heterogeneous antiphospholipid antibodies. There is an evidence on antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies related to thromboembolic events in cancer patients. In fact, the thrombotic complications in patients with malignancy occur at a rather high frequency, compared to other risk factors. In parallel with standard therapies available, there is need of case-by-case monitoring of each patient and the introduction of new therapies and need for more clinical trials which will address many questions for the optimal management of patients. This paper presents a basic review of the literature on the aPL antibodies associated with cardiovascular disease and cancer, as well as its complications, which are reported so far in the bibliography.

Abstract
Cancer patients have higher prevalences of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs), occasionally associated with thrombotic events. A cross-sectional study regarding the presence of criteria (IgG/IgM anti-cardiolipin-aCL, anti-β2 glycoprotein I-aβ2GPI) and non-criteria (IgG/IgM anti-phosphatidylserine-aPS, anti-phosphatidylethanolamine-aPE, anti-prothrombin-aPT) aPLs in 146 patients with involuntary weight loss was performed. None of the patients had thrombotic events during the study. Out of the 36 cancer patients, 33 had non-hematologic malignancies. In the cancer subgroup, 60% of the patients had at least one positive aPL, with significantly more patients being positive for aβ2GPI IgG compared with the non-cancer subgroup-p = 0.03, OR = 2.23 (1.02-4.88). When evaluating the titres, aCL IgG/IgM, aβ2GPI IgG, aPE IgG, and aPS IgG had significantly higher values in cancer patients, the best cancer predictor being aβ2GPI IgG-AUC 0.642 (0.542-0.742). Gastrointestinal cancer patients were studied separately, and aCL IgM positivity was significantly higher-p = 0.008, OR = 6.69 (1.35-33.02). Both the titres of aCL IgM (p = 0.006) and aPS IgM (p = 0.03) were higher in the gastrointestinal cancer subgroup, with aCL IgM being the best predictor for gastrointestinal cancer development-AUC 0.808 (0.685-0.932). Despite criteria and non-criteria aPLs being frequent in cancer, their connection with thrombosis in these patients is probably dependent on other important risk factors and needs further research.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder defined as hyperglycemia and pancreatic β-cell deterioration, leading to other complications such as cardiomyopathy. The current study assessed the therapeutic effects of phenolic acids extracted from Jasminum sambac phenols of leaves (JSP) against diabetes-induced cardiomyopathy in rats. The rats were divided into four groups, with each group consisting of 20 rats. The rats were given intraperitoneal injections of alloxan monohydrate (150 mg/kg) to induce diabetes. The diabetes-induced groups (III and IV) received treatment for six weeks that included 250 and 500 mg/kg of JSP extract, respectively. In the treated rats, the results demonstrated that JSP extract restored fasting glucose, serum glucose, and hyperlipidemia. Alloxan induced cardiomyopathy, promoted oxidative stress, and altered cardiac function biomarkers, including cardiac troponin I, proBNP, CK-MB, LDH, and IMA. The JSP extract-treated rats showed improved cardiac function indicators, apoptosis, and oxidative stress. In diabetic rats, the mRNA expression of caspase-3, BAX, and Bcl-2 was significantly higher, while Bcl-2, Nrf-2, and HO-,1 was significantly lower. In the treated groups, the expression levels of the BAX, Nrf-2, HO-1, Caspase-3, and Bcl-2 genes were dramatically returned to normal level. According to our findings, the JSP extract prevented cardiomyopathy and heart failure in the hyperglycemic rats by improving cardiac biomarkers and lowering the levels of hyperlipidemia, oxidative stress, apoptosis, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia.

Abstract
Antiphospholipid antibodies (APLAs) are primarily directed toward phospholipid-binding proteins and are responsible for thrombotic events. APLAs include anti-β2Glycoprotein I (anti-β2GPI), anticardiolipin (anti-CL) antibodies, and lupus anticoagulant. These antibodies are typical markers of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and are a part of its diagnostic criteria. Many data underline the presence of APLAs in other rheumatic diseases (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, Sjögren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis and Behçet's disease). However, they are also detected in patients with cancer, infection, and neurological disorders. Furthermore, healthy individuals may be carriers of APLAs. Chronic asymptomatic APLAs presence is most common in the elderly and subjects with chronic diseases (including malignancies). Specific kinds of APLAs are considered markers of oncological progression. These antibodies occur in 6% of pregnant women (without diagnosed APS) and are related to many pregnancy complications. Of worth, various types of APLAs are reported to have different prothrombotic properties. The risk of thrombotic events in APLA-positive but clinically naïve patients raises many questions in clinical practice. This manuscript analyses various clinical situations and consequences of the APLAs' presence, particularly in patients without diagnosed APS. The prevalence, etiology, molecular background, and prothrombotic properties of numerous APLAs are broadly discussed. The new management approach in different clinical conditions and organ complications is present in the context of recent recommendations. Discussed data underlines that adequate and timely introduced thromboprophylaxis can decrease the risk of thrombus formation and prevent increased morbidity.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism, that consists of the interrelated conditions deep-vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is an under-appreciated vascular disease. In Western regions, approximately 1 in 12 individuals will be diagnosed with venous thromboembolism in their lifetime. Rates of venous thromboembolism are lower in Asia, but data from other regions are sparse. Numerous risk factors for venous thromboembolism have been identified, which can be classified as acute or subacute triggers (provoking factors that increase the risk of venous thromboembolism) and basal or acquired risk factors (which can be modifiable or static). Approximately 20% of individuals who have a venous thromboembolism event die within 1 year (although often from the provoking condition), and complications are common among survivors. Fortunately, opportunities exist for primordial prevention (prevention of the development of underlying risk factors), primary prevention (management of risk factors among individuals at high risk of the condition) and secondary prevention (prevention of recurrent events) of venous thromboembolism. In this Review, we describe the epidemiology of venous thromboembolism, including the incidence, risk factors, outcomes and opportunities for prevention. Meaningful health disparities exist in both the incidence and outcomes of venous thromboembolism. We also discuss these disparities as well as opportunities to reduce them.

Abstract
Antiphospholipid antibodies are highly prevalent in autoimmune diseases and mainly associated with thromboembolic events, which is one of the major reasons for cancer-related mortality. Confirmed adult cancer patients were included (n = 40) with an equal number of age- and sex-matched healthy controls. The presence and concentration of anticardiolipin antibodies were investigated by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using the venous blood samples. aCL antibodies were detected in 60.0% (n = 24) of the cancer patients compared to none in the healthy controls (p < 0.001). The serum concentration of aCL antibodies was significantly higher in cancer patients than controls (p < 0.001) and ranged from 89.0 U/mL to 133.0 U/mL among the aCL-positive patients. All the lung cancer patients (n = 6) were diagnosed with positive aCL, and a borderline significant association of aCL antibody positivity was observed in colon cancer patients (p = 0.051). About 72.7% of the advanced-stage cancer individuals and 81.8% of the cancer patients who underwent surgery were diagnosed with positive aCL antibodies. A significant association of aCL antibody positivity was observed with cancer patients comorbid with heart diseases (p = 0.005). The prevalence and serum levels of aCL antibodies were significantly higher in cancer patients compared to healthy controls. Cancer patients (i.e., lung, liver, and colon), at advanced-stage, comorbid with heart diseases, who underwent surgery, were more likely to be diagnosed with aCL antibodies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the conflicting data, the positivity of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) in cancer patients may be associated with an increased risk of thrombosis. OBJECTIVE To identify the prevalence and impact of aPL on venous thromboembolic events (VTE) and arterial thrombosis (ATE) in ambulatory cancer patients. METHODS In this single-center, prospective cohort study, we enrolled newly diagnosed ambulatory cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Non-cancer controls were age- and sex-matched. Participants were evaluated for aPL. Primary outcomes were the composite outcome of VTE or ATE and the prevalence of aPL positivity in cancer patients. Secondary outcomes included the risk of VTE and ATE in cancer patients and all-cause mortality at six-month follow-up duration. RESULTS There were 137 cases and 137 controls with mean age of 56.0±12.3 and 55.5±12.1 years, respectively. Cancer patients were more likely to have positive aPL compared to controls, with the risk difference of 9.4% (95%CI 1.5 to 17.5). Composite of ATE or VTE occurred in 9 (6.6%) in cancer patients and 2 (1.5%) in controls. Cancer patients with aPL positivity were associated with higher risk of ATE or VTE (risk ratio [RR] 3.6, 95% CI 1.04-12.4). Positive LA in cancer patients were associated with higher risk of composites of ATE or VTE (RR 5.3 95%CI 1.3-21.0), whereas the anti-β2-GPI positivity were associated with increased risk of VTE (RR 4.7, 95%CI 1.1-19.2). CONCLUSION aPL was more prevalent in active cancer patients and positive aPL in cancer patients was associated with arterial or venous thrombosis.

Abstract
A 19-month-old girl with Cornelia de Lange-like dysmorphic features presented with left eye leukocoria. She was diagnosed with 13q deletion retinoblastoma grade 4 with high-risk features and bone marrow involvement. She underwent enucleation, and the first course of intravenous chemotherapy was initiated. On day 10 after the first chemotherapy dose, she developed digital gangrene of her left hand. She was diagnosed with acute artery occlusion and limb ischemia. Thrombophilia work-up revealed antiphospholipid antibodies, and paraneoplastic syndrome is another possible cause of digital gangrene. The patient's left thumb and index finger were amputated. After 1 month of hospitalization, she was discharged. Before the second course of chemotherapy, the patient died of systemic metastatic retinoblastoma with respiratory failure due to pneumonia. Our postulation of the mechanism for digital gangrene was the combination of chemotherapy, paraneoplastic syndrome, and antiphospholipid syndrome. Digital gangrene could be a poor prognostic indicator in patients with retinoblastoma.

Abstract
Cancer is an increasingly recognized cause for ischemic stroke, with recent acknowledgement of cancer-related stroke as an emerging stroke subtype with unique pathophysiologic mechanisms. In addition, cancer-related stroke may differ from stroke in the general population as cancer patients may not receive guideline-recommended stroke care, and the occurrence of stroke may also preclude patients from receiving optimal cancer treatments. Due to the high degree of morbidity and mortality associated with both conditions, understanding the relationship between stroke and cancer is crucial. In this narrative review, we discuss the association between cancer and stroke, the unique pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying this phenomenon, treatment options including acute reperfusion therapies and secondary prevention strategies, compare outcomes between cancer-related stroke and stroke in the general population, and review new and emerging evidence in this field.

Abstract
One of the main groups of lipids is phospholipids, which are mainly involved in forming cell membranes. Neoplastic processes such as cell replication have increased lipid synthesis, making tumor cells dependent on this synthesis to maintain their requirements. Antiphospholipid antibodies attack phospholipids in the cell membranes. Three main types of antiphospholipid antibodies are recognized: anti-β2 glycoprotein I (anti-β2GP-I), anticardiolipin (aCL), and lupus anticoagulant (LA). These types of antibodies have been proven to be present in hematological neoplasms, particularly in LH and NHL. This review on antiphospholipid antibodies in hematological neoplasms describes their clinical relationship as future implications at the prognostic level for survival and even treatment.

Association of neutrophil extracellular traps with the production of circulating DNA in patients with colorectal cancer. iScience 2022; 25:103826. [PMID: 35198886 PMCID: PMC8844218 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2022.103826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2021] [Revised: 11/04/2021] [Accepted: 01/21/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
We postulate that a significant part of circulating DNA (cirDNA) originates in the degradation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). In this study, we examined the plasma level of two markers of NETs (myeloperoxidase (MPO) and neutrophil elastase (NE)), as well as cirDNA levels in 219 patients with a metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), and in 114 healthy individuals (HI). We found that in patients with mCRC the content of these analytes was (i) highly correlated, and (ii) all statistically different (p < 0.0001) than in HI (N = 114). These three NETs markers may readily distinguish between patients with mCRC from HI, (0.88, 0.86, 0.84, and 0.95 AUC values for NE, MPO, cirDNA, and NE + MPO + cirDNA, respectively). Concomitant analysis of anti-phospholipid (anti-cardiolipin), NE, MPO, and cirDNA plasma concentrations in patients with mCRC might have value for thrombosis prevention, and suggested that NETosis may be a critical factor in the immunological response/phenomena linked to tumor progression. NETs markers correlate with cirDNA amounts in patients with mCRC not in healthy subjects Quantifying NETs markers and cirDNA could distinguish mCRC from healthy subjects Analysis of NETs markers, cirDNA, and aPL may have value for thrombosis prevention A strong fraction of cirDNA concentration could be derived from NETs in patients with mCRC

Abstract
Purpose of Review The epidemiology of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is poorly understood. Here, we review the current understanding of the epidemiology of antiphospholipid syndrome in the general population and the frequency of antiphospholipid antibodies in the general population in patients with obstetric morbidity, arterial events, and venous thromboembolism. Recent Findings There have been few population-based studies that estimated the prevalence and incidence of APS. The estimated incidence and prevalence among most these studies ranged between 1 and 2 cases per 100,000 and 40 and 50 cases per 100,000 respectively. The prevalence of antiphospholipid antibodies in patients with obstetric morbidity was 6–9%, while in arterial events and venous thromboembolism is 9–10%. However, this data remains limited. Mortality of patients with APS is 50–80% higher than the general population. Summary The epidemiology of APS has been difficult to elucidate. Population-based studies patients with diverse age, racial, and ethnic backgrounds are needed.

Abstract
Auto-antibodies are classically associated with autoimmune diseases, where they are an integral part of diagnostic panels. However, recent evidence is accumulating on the presence of auto-antibodies against single or selected panels of auto-antigens in many types of cancer. Auto-antibodies might initially represent an epiphenomenon derived from the inflammatory environment induced by the tumor. However, their effect on tumor evolution can be crucial, as is discussed in this paper. It has been demonstrated that some of these auto-antibodies can be used for early detection and cancer staging, as well as for monitoring of cancer regression during treatment and follow up. Interestingly, certain auto-antibodies were found to promote cancer progression and metastasis, while others contribute to the body's defense against it. Moreover, auto-antibodies are of a polyclonal nature, which means that often several antibodies are involved in the response to a single tumor antigen. Dissection of these antibody specificities is now possible, allowing their identification at the genetic, structural, and epitope levels. In this review, we report the evidence available on the presence of auto-antibodies in the main cancer types and discuss some of the open issues that still need to be addressed by the research community.
