Abstract
Background and Aims Identifying potential high-risk groups of oxaliplatin-induced liver injury (OILI) is valuable, but tools are lacking. So artificial neural network (ANN) and logistic regression (LR) models will be developed to predict the risk of OILI. Methods The medical information of patients treated with oxaliplatin between May and November 2016 at 10 hospitals was collected prospectively. We used the updated Roussel Uclaf causality assessment method (RUCAM) to identify cases of OILI and summarized the patient and medication characteristics. Furthermore, the ANN and LR models for predicting the risk of OILI were developed and evaluated. Results The incidence of OILI was 3.65%. The median RUCAM score with interquartile range was 6 (4, 9). The ANN model performed similarly to the LR model in sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. In discrimination, the area under the curve of the ANN model was larger (0.920>0.833, p=0.019). In calibration, the ANN model was slightly improved. The important predictors of both models overlapped partially, including age, chemotherapy regimens and cycles, single and total dose of OXA, glucocorticoid drugs, and antihistamine drugs. Conclusions When the discriminative and calibration ability was given priority, the ANN model outperformed the LR model in predicting the risk of OILI. Other chemotherapy drugs in oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy regimens could have different degrees of impact on OILI. We suspected that OILI may be idiosyncratic, and chemotherapy dose factors may be weakly correlated. Decision making on prophylactic medications needs to be carefully considered, and the actual preventive effect needed to be supported by more evidence.

Low Plasma Levels of Hyaluronic Acid Might Rule Out Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome after Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation. DISEASE MARKERS 2023; 2023:7589017.

Abstract
Background Sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS) is a potentially fatal complication secondary to hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) conditioning. Endothelial damage plasma biomarkers such as plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), hyaluronic acid (HA), and vascular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM1) represent potential diagnostic tools for SOS. Methods We prospectively collected serial citrated blood samples (baseline, day 0, day 7, and day 14) in all adult patients undergoing HSCT at La Paz Hospital, Madrid. Samples were later analyzed by ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) for HA, VCAM1, and PAI-1 concentrations. Results During sixteen months, we prospectively recruited 47 patients. Seven patients (14%) were diagnosed with SOS according to the EBMT criteria for SOS/VOD diagnosis and received treatment with defibrotide. Our study showed a statistically significant elevation of HA on day 7 in SOS patients, preceding clinical SOS diagnosis, with a sensitivity of 100%. Furthermore, we observed a significant increase of HA and VCAM1 levels on day 14. Regarding risk factors, we observed a statistically significant association between SOS diagnosis and the fact that patients received 3 or more previous lines of treatment before HSCT. Conclusions The early significant increase in HA levels observed opens the door to a noninvasive peripheral blood test which could have the potential to improve diagnosis and facilitate prophylactic and therapeutic management of SOS before clinical/histological damage is established.

J Clin Exp Hepatol 2022; 12:448-453.

Abstract
Background Oxaliplatin remains an essential component of many chemotherapy protocols for gastrointestinal cancers; however, neurotoxicity and hepatotoxicity may be dose-limiting. The gold standard for the diagnosis of oxaliplatin-induced hepatotoxicity is liver biopsy, which is invasive and costly. Splenomegaly has also been used as a surrogate for liver biopsy in detecting oxaliplatin-induced sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), but splenic measurement is not routine and can be inaccurate and complex. We investigated the correlation between increased liver elasticity assessed by Fibroscan and the increase in spleen volume on cross-sectional imaging after oxaliplatin as a noninvasive technique to assess liver stiffness associated with oxaliplatin-induced SOS. Methods Forty-six patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancers and planned to take oxaliplatin containing regimens were included in this prospective study at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC). Measurement of spleen volume using cross-sectional imaging and of liver elasticity using Fibroscan was performed at baseline, 3 and 6 months after starting oxaliplatin. Mean liver elasticity measurements were compared between patients stratified by the development of splenomegaly using the Student t-test. Splenomegaly was defined as 50% increase in spleen size compared with baseline. Results Patients who developed splenomegaly after oxaliplatin use had significantly higher mean elasticity measurements as reported by Fibroscan at 3 (16.2 vs. 7.8 kPa, P = 0.036) and 6 (9.3 vs. 6.7 kPa, P = 0.03) months. Conclusion Measurement of elasticity using Fibroscan could be potentially used in the future as a noninvasive test for predicting oxaliplatin-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) due to chemotherapy can cause severe hepatotoxicity, leading to impaired outcome in patients with colorectal cancer. A previous study introduced gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (Gd-EOB-MRI) to diagnose SOS. PURPOSE To assess the reproducibility of Gd-EOB-MRI-based SOS diagnosis and its relationship with response to chemotherapy and long-term outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-six Gd-EOB-MRI scans of patients undergoing chemotherapy for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) were retrospectively analyzed. Three radiologists, blinded to clinical data, independently scored presence and severity of SOS on a 5-point scale (0, definitely not present to 4, definitely present). Patients with a score ≥3 were considered SOS+. Inter-observer agreement between readers was assessed with kappa statistics. Response (RECIST 1.1.), occurrence of new CRLM during follow-up (hepatic progression) and overall survival (OS) were compared between patients with and without SOS. RESULTS The inter-observer agreement of SOS scores was poor, with quadratic kappas of 0.17-0.40. For the binary outcome of SOS+ (confidence level [CL] 3-4) vs. SOS- (CL 0-2) agreement was poor, with kappas of 0.03-0.37. Median follow-up was 24 months (range 4-44 months). Response and OS between patients with and without SOS did not differ significantly for any of the readers. CONCLUSION Inter-observer agreement for the diagnosis of SOS on Gd-EOB-MRI is poor. No significant correlation with relevant outcomes was found for any of the readers. Therefore, MRI for SOS diagnosis might be less useful than previously reported. Other techniques should be explored to accurately diagnose SOS in absence of histological confirmation.

Oda S, Yokoi T. Recent progress in the use of microRNAs as biomarkers for drug-induced toxicities in contrast to traditional biomarkers: A comparative review. Drug Metab Pharmacokinet 2021; 37:100372. [PMID: 33461055 DOI: 10.1016/j.dmpk.2020.11.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2020] [Revised: 11/19/2020] [Accepted: 11/23/2020] [Indexed: 02/09/2023]
Abstract
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs with 18-25 nucleotides. They play key regulatory roles in versatile biological process including development and apoptosis, and in disease pathogenesis, for example carcinogenesis, by negatively regulating gene expression. miRNAs often exhibit characteristics suitable for biomarkers such as tissue-specific expression patterns, high stability in serum/plasma, and change in abundance in circulation immediately after toxic injury. Since the discovery of circulating miRNAs in extracellular biological fluids in 2008, there have been many reports on the use of miRNAs as biomarkers for various diseases including cancer and organ injury in humans and experimental animals. In this review article, we have summarized the utility and limitation of circulating miRNAs as safety/toxicology biomarkers for specific tissue injuries including liver, skeletal muscle, heart, retina, and pancreas, by comparing them with conventional protein biomarkers. We have also covered the discovery of miRNAs in serum/plasma and their stability, the knowledge of which is essential for understanding the kinetics of miRNA biomarkers. Since numerous studies have reported the use of these circulating miRNAs as safety biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity, we believe that circulating miRNAs can promote pre-clinical drug development and improve the monitoring of tissue injuries in clinical pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
Adenocarcinoma of the colon is the most common malignant neoplasia of the gastrointestinal tract and is a major contributor to mortality worldwide. Invasiveness and metastatic behavior are typical of malignant tumors and, because of its portal drainage, the liver is the closest capillary bed available in this case, hence the common site of metastatic dissemination. Current therapies forecast total resection of primary tumor when possible and partial liver resection at advanced stages, along with systemic intravenous therapies consisting of chemotherapeutic agents such as 5-fluorouracil. These cures are definitely not exempt from drawbacks and heavy side effects. Biocompatible polymeric networks, both in colloids and bulk forms, able to absorb large quantities of water and load a variety of molecules-belong to the class of innovative drug delivery systems, thus suitable for the purpose and tunable on each patient can represent a promising alternative. Indeed, the implantation of polymeric scaffolds easy to synthesize can substitute chemotherapy and combination therapies scheduling, shortening side effects. Moreover, they do not require a surgical removal thanks to spontaneous degradation and guarantees an extended and regional cargo release, maintaining high drug concentrations. In this review, we focus our attention on the key role of polymeric networks as drug delivery systems potentially able to counteract this dramatic disease.

The role of hepatic sinusoidal obstruction in the pathogenesis of the hepatic involvement in HELLP syndrome: Exploring the literature. Pregnancy Hypertens 2019; 19:37-43. [PMID: 31877439 DOI: 10.1016/j.preghy.2019.11.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2019] [Revised: 10/11/2019] [Accepted: 11/25/2019] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
AIM This study aims to determine, based on existing data, whether the mechanism resulting in liver dysfunction in HELLP syndrome resembles that in Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome (SOS). BACKGROUND HELLP syndrome is a serious pregnancy disorder with high maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality rates. Because of poor insight in its pathophysiology, particularly that of the liver involvement, clinical management is limited to symptomatic treatment, often followed by termination of pregnancy. SOS is a rare, potentially life-threatening complication of radio and/ or chemotherapy in the preparation of hematopoietic cell transplantation. The etiology of liver dysfunction in SOS is - unlike that in HELLP syndrome - better-understood and seems to be initiated by direct toxic damage and demise of endothelial cells, causing hepatic sinusoidal obstruction and ischemia. METHODS We searched Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane for reports on the etiology of HELLP and SOS. This yielded 73 articles, with 14 additional reports from the references listed in these articles. RESULTS The dysfunctional placenta in women developing HELLP initiates a cascade of events that eventually results in liver dysfunction. The placenta releases, besides anti-angiogenetic factors, also necrotic debris and cell-free DNA, a mixture that not only induces systemic endothelial dysfunction as in preeclampsia, but also a systemic inflammatory response. The latter aggravates the endothelio-toxic effects in the systemic cardiovascular bed, amplifying the already increased pro-thrombotic conditions. Particularly in microcirculations with extremely low shear forces, such as in the hepatic sinusoids, this will facilitate microthrombi formation and fibrin deposition eventually resulting in obstruction of the sinusoids similar as in SOS. The latter causes ischemic damage and progressive demise of hepatocytes. CONCLUSION The available information supports the concept that the liver damage in HELLP and SOS results from sinusoidal ischemia, presumably resulting from partially overlapping pathophysiological mechanisms.

Abstract
Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is an antibody-drug conjugate approved for use in the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive metastatic breast cancer. Here, we present the cases of two patients with metastatic breast cancer who received T-DM1 monotherapy and developed noncirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH). Patient 1 presented with ruptured gastric varices at 2 years and 5 months after T-DM1 treatment. Patient 2 presented with intrahepatic portal-hepatic venous shunt at 2 years and 6 months and portal-systemic shunt encephalopathy at 4 years and 11 months after T-DM1 treatment. In both the patients, liver biopsies revealed sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS). T-DM1-induced hepatotoxicity can result from SOS. In long-term administration of T-DM1 the unfavorable events associated with chronic liver circulatory disorder due to SOS, such as NCPH, are concerning.

Abstract
Purpose: Adverse reactions reported in patients treated with antibody-calicheamicin conjugates such as gemtuzumab ozogamicin (Mylotarg) and inotuzumab ozogamicin include thrombocytopenia and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS). The objective of this experimental work was to investigate the mechanism for thrombocytopenia, characterize the liver injury, and identify potential safety biomarkers.Experimental Design: Cynomolgus monkeys were dosed intravenously at 6 mg/m2/dose once every 3 weeks with a nonbinding antibody-calicheamicin conjugate (PF-0259) containing the same linker-payload as gemtuzumab ozogamicin and inotuzumab ozogamicin. Monkeys were necropsied 48 hours after the first administration (day 3) or 3 weeks after the third administration (day 63).Results: PF-0259 induced acute thrombocytopenia (up to 86% platelet reduction) with nadirs on days 3 to 4. There was no indication of effects on megakaryocytes in bone marrow or activation of platelets in peripheral blood. Microscopic evaluation of liver from animals necropsied on day 3 demonstrated midzonal degeneration and loss of sinusoidal endothelial cells (SECs) associated with marked platelet accumulation in sinusoids. Liver histopathology on day 63 showed variable endothelial recovery and progression to a combination of sinusoidal capillarization and sinusoidal dilation/hepatocellular atrophy, consistent with early SOS. Among biomarkers evaluated, there were early and sustained increases in serum hyaluronic acid (HA) that correlated well with serum aspartate aminotransferase and liver microscopic changes, suggesting that HA may be a sensitive diagnostic marker of the liver microvascular injury.Conclusions: These data support the conclusion that target-independent damage to liver SECs may be responsible for acute thrombocytopenia (through platelet sequestration in liver sinusoids) and development of SOS.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is characterized by damage to small hepatic vessels affecting particularly sinusoidal endothelium. Damaged sinusoids can be associated with a partial or complete occlusion of small hepatic veins, hence the previous denomination of hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD). Exposure to certain exogenous toxins appears to be specific to this condition and is frequently included in its definition. Typical histopathological features of SOS in a liver biopsy specimen are presented in the text. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview on the different entities corresponding to this general definition. Such entities include: (i) liver disease related to pyrrolizidine alcaloids; (ii) liver injury related to conditioning for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; (iii) vascular liver disease occurring in patients treated with chemotherapy for liver metastasis of colorectal cancer; and (iv) other liver diseases related to toxic agents.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin is an effective chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of colorectal cancer; however, it may cause liver injury, particularly sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS). Although SOS does not usually present with focal lesions on radiological images, the present study describes the case of a 22-year-old woman with oxaliplatin-induced SOS mimicking metastatic colon cancer in the liver. An abdominal computed tomography revealed a novel 1 cm, low-density lesion in segment 1 of the liver following the administration of the fourth round of oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy for stage III colon cancer. Since the lesion was indistinguishable from metastasis, even with detailed imaging studies, including magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography-computed tomography, an isolated caudate lobectomy was planned. The cut surface of the resected liver showed a localized reddish congested lesion measuring 1.4 cm in diameter. The adjacent hepatic parenchyma also demonstrated diffuse sinusoidal congestion with a nutmeg-like appearance. Histologically, the lesion exhibited severe sinusoidal congestion with peliosis hepatis-like features. The widened sinusoidal space was outlined by markedly attenuated hepatic cords and filled with erythrocytes. The final diagnosis was oxaliplatin-induced SOS. The patient recovered completely and was relapse-free at the time of writing.

Abstract
PURPOSE Splenomegaly is a clinical surrogate of oxaliplatin-induced sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS). We investigated development of splenomegaly and its association with treatment outcome and genetic polymorphisms following adjuvant 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Splenomegaly was determined by spleen volumetry using computed tomography images obtained before initiation of chemotherapy and after completion of adjuvant FOLFOX in CRC patients. Ten genetic polymorphisms in 4 SOS-related genes (VEGFA, MMP9, NOS3, and GSTP1) were analyzed using DNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. RESULTS Of 124 patients included, increase in spleen size was observed in 109 (87.9%). Median change was 31% (range, -42% to 168%). Patients with splenomegaly had more severe thrombocytopenia compared to patients without splenomegaly during the chemotherapy period (p < 0.0001). The cumulative dose of oxaliplatin and the lowest platelet count during the chemotherapy period were clinical factors associated with splenomegaly. However, no significant associations were found between genetic polymorphisms and development of splenomegaly. Disease-free survival was similar regardless of the development of splenomegaly. CONCLUSION Splenomegaly was frequently observed in patients receiving adjuvant FOLFOX and resulted in more severe thrombocytopenia but did not influence treatment outcome. Examined genetic polymorphisms did not predict development of splenomegaly.

Abstract
Reliable, noninvasive methods for diagnosing and prognosing sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) early after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) are needed. We used a quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics approach to identify candidate biomarkers of SOS by comparing plasma pooled from 20 patients with and 20 patients without SOS. Of 494 proteins quantified, we selected 6 proteins (L-Ficolin, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 [VCAM1], tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1, von Willebrand factor, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and CD97) based on a differential heavy/light isotope ratio of at least 2 fold, information from the literature, and immunoassay availability. Next, we evaluated the diagnostic potential of these 6 proteins and 5 selected from the literature (suppression of tumorigenicity-2 [ST2], angiopoietin-2 (ANG2), hyaluronic acid [HA], thrombomodulin, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1) in samples from 80 patients. The results demonstrate that together ST2, ANG2, L-Ficolin, HA, and VCAM1 compose a biomarker panel for diagnosis of SOS. L-Ficolin, HA, and VCAM1 also stratified patients at risk for SOS as early as the day of HCT. Prognostic Bayesian modeling for SOS onset based on L-Ficolin, HA, and VCAM1 levels on the day of HCT and clinical characteristics showed >80% correct prognosis of SOS onset. These biomarkers may provide opportunities for preemptive intervention to minimize SOS incidence and/or severity.

Abstract
Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is an obliterative venulitis of the terminal hepatic venules, which in its more severe forms imparts a high risk of mortality. SOS, also known as veno-occlusive disease (VOD), occurs as a result of cytoreductive therapy prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), following oxaliplatin-containing adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal carcinoma metastatic to the liver and treated by partial hepatectomy, in patients taking pyrrolizidine alkaloid-containing herbal remedies, and in other particular settings such as the autosomal recessive condition of veno-occlusive disease with immunodeficiency (VODI). A central pathogenic event is toxic destruction of hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells (SEC), with sloughing and downstream occlusion of terminal hepatic venules. Contributing factors are SEC glutathione depletion, nitric oxide depletion, increased intrahepatic expression of matrix metalloproteinases and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and activation of clotting factors. The clinical presentation of SOS includes jaundice, development of right upper-quadrant pain and tender hepatomegaly, ascites, and unexplained weight gain. Owing to the potentially critical condition of these patients, transjugular biopsy may be the preferred route for liver biopsy to exclude other potential causes of liver dysfunction and to establish a diagnosis of SOS. Treatment includes rigorous fluid management so as to avoid excessive fluid overload while avoiding too rapid diuresis or pericentesis, potential use of pharmaceutics such as defibrotide, coagulolytic agents, or methylprednisolone, and liver transplantation. Proposed strategies for prevention and prophylaxis include reduced-intensity conditioning radiation for HSCT, treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid, and inclusion of bevacizumab with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapeutic regimes. While significant progress has been made in understanding the pathogenesis of SOS and in mitigating against its adverse outcomes, this condition remains a serious complication of a selective group of medical treatments.
