Abstract
Bleomycin exhibits effective chemotherapeutic activity against multiple types of tumors, and also induces various side effects, such as pulmonary fibrosis and neuronal defects, which limit the clinical application of this drug. Macroautophagy/autophagy has been recently reported to be involved in the functions of bleomycin, and yet the mechanisms of their crosstalk remain insufficiently understood. Here, we demonstrated that reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced during bleomycin activation hampered autophagy flux by inducing lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) and obstructing lysosomal degradation. Exhaustion of ROS with N-acetylcysteine relieved LMP and autophagy defects. Notably, we observed that LMP and autophagy blockage preceded the emergence of cellular senescence during bleomycin treatment. In addition, promoting or inhibiting autophagy-lysosome degradation alleviated or exacerbated the phenotypes of senescence, respectively. This suggests the alternation of autophagy activity is more a regulatory mechanism than a consequence of bleomycin-induced cellular senescence. Taken together, we reveal a specific role of bleomycin-induced ROS in mediating defects of autophagic degradation and further regulating cellular senescence in vitro and in vivo. Our findings, conversely, indicate the autophagy-lysosome degradation pathway as a target for modulating the functions of bleomycin. These provide a new perspective for optimizing bleomycin as a clinically applicable chemotherapeutics devoid of severe side-effects.Abbreviations: AT2 cells: type II alveolar epithelial cells; ATG7: autophagy related 7; bEnd.3: mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells; BNIP3L: BCL2/adenovirus E1B interacting protein 3-like; CCL2: C-C motif chemokine ligand 2; CDKN1A: cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1A; CDKN2A: cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A; FTH1: ferritin heavy polypeptide 1; γ-H2AX: phosphorylated H2A.X variant histone; GAPDH: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; HUVEC: human umbilical vein endothelial cells; HT22: hippocampal neuronal cell lines; Il: interleukin; LAMP: lysosomal-associated membrane protein; LMP: lysosome membrane permeabilization; MTORC1: mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase complex 1; NAC: N-acetylcysteine; NCOA4: nuclear receptor coactivator 4; PI3K: phosphoinositide 3-kinase; ROS: reactive oxygen species; RPS6KB/S6K: ribosomal protein S6 kinase; SA-GLB1/β-gal: senescence-associated galactosidase, beta 1; SAHF: senescence-associated heterochromatic foci; SASP: senescence-associated secretory phenotype; SEC62: SEC62 homolog, preprotein translocation; SEP: superecliptic pHluorin; SQSTM1/p62: sequestosome 1; TFEB: transcription factor EB.

Abstract
Epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) are the epitome of cell plasticity in embryonic development and cancer; during EMT, epithelial cells undergo dramatic phenotypic changes and become able to migrate to form different tissues or give rise to metastases, respectively. The importance of EMTs in other contexts, such as tissue repair and fibrosis in the adult, has become increasingly recognized and studied. In this Review, we discuss the function of EMT in the adult after tissue damage and compare features of embryonic and adult EMT. Whereas sustained EMT leads to adult tissue degeneration, fibrosis and organ failure, its transient activation, which confers phenotypic and functional plasticity on somatic cells, promotes tissue repair after damage. Understanding the mechanisms and temporal regulation of different EMTs provides insight into how some tissues heal and has the potential to open new therapeutic avenues to promote repair or regeneration of tissue damage that is currently irreversible. We also discuss therapeutic strategies that modulate EMT that hold clinical promise in ameliorating fibrosis, and how precise EMT activation could be harnessed to enhance tissue repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bleomycin, a potent antitumor agent, is limited in clinical use due to the potential for fatal pulmonary toxicity. The accelerated DNA damage and senescence in alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) is considered a key factor in the development of lung pathology. Understanding the mechanisms for bleomycin-induced lung injury is crucial for mitigating its adverse effects. METHODS Human lung epithelial (A549) cells were exposed to bleomycin and subsequently assessed for cellular senescence, DNA damage, and double-strand break (DSB) repair. The impact of Rad51 overexpression on DSB repair and senescence in AECs was evaluated in vitro. Additionally, bleomycin was intratracheally administered in C57BL/6 mice to establish a pulmonary fibrosis model. RESULTS Bleomycin exposure induced dose- and time-dependent accumulation of senescence hallmarks and DNA lesions in AECs. These effects are probably due to the inhibition of Rad51 expression, consequently suppressing homologous recombination (HR) repair. Mechanistic studies revealed that bleomycin-mediated transcriptional inhibition of Rad51 might primarily result from E2F1 depletion. Furthermore, the genetic supplement of Rad51 substantially mitigated bleomycin-mediated effects on DSB repair and senescence in AECs. Notably, decreased Rad51 expression was also observed in the bleomycin-induced mouse pulmonary fibrosis model. CONCLUSIONS Our works suggest that the inhibition of Rad51 plays a pivotal role in bleomycin-induced AECs senescence and lung injury, offering potential strategies to alleviate the pulmonary toxicity of bleomycin.

Abstract
The high mortality rates of acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome challenge the field to identify biomarkers and factors that can be exploited for therapeutic approaches. IL-22 is a cytokine that has antibacterial and reparative properties in the lung. However, it also can exacerbate inflammation and requires tight control by the extracellular inhibitory protein known as IL-22 binding protein (IL-22BP) (Il22ra2). This study showed the necessity of IL-22BP in controlling and preventing acute lung injury using IL-22BP knockout mice (Il22ra2-/-) in the bleomycin model of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome. Il22ra2-/- mice had greater sensitivity (weight loss and death) and pulmonary inflammation in the acute phase (first 7 days) of the injury compared with wild-type C57Bl/6 controls. The inflammation was driven by excess IL-22 production, inducing the influx of pathogenic IL-17A+ γδ T cells to the lung. Interestingly, this inflammation was initiated in part by the noncanonical IL-22 signaling to macrophages, which express the IL-22 receptor (Il22ra1) in vivo after bleomycin challenge. This study further showed that IL-22 receptor alpha-1+ macrophages can be stimulated by IL-22 to produce a number of IL-17-inducing cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, and transforming growth factor-β1. Together, the results suggest that IL-22BP prevents IL-22 signaling to macrophages and reduces bleomycin-mediated lung injury.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by progressive, often fatal loss of lung function due to overactive collagen production and tissue scarring. Patients with IPF have a sevenfold-increased risk of developing lung cancer. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the number of patients with lung diseases, and infection can worsen prognoses for those with chronic lung diseases and disease-associated cancer. Understanding the molecular pathogenesis of IPF-associated lung cancer is imperative for identifying diagnostic biomarkers and targeted therapies that will facilitate prevention of IPF and progression to lung cancer. To understand how IPF-associated fibroblast activation, matrix remodeling, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and immune modulation influences lung cancer predisposition, we developed a mouse model to recapitulate the molecular pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis-associated lung cancer using the bleomycin and Lewis lung carcinoma models. We demonstrate that development of pulmonary fibrosis-associated lung cancer is likely linked to increased abundance of tumor-associated macrophages and a unique gene signature that supports an immune-suppressive microenvironment through secreted factors. Not surprisingly, preexisting fibrosis provides a pre-metastatic niche and results in augmented tumor growth, and tumors associated with bleomycin-induced fibrosis are characterized by a dramatic loss of cytokeratin expression, indicative of EMT. IMPLICATIONS This characterization of tumors associated with lung diseases provides new therapeutic targets that may aid in the development of treatment paradigms for lung cancer patients with preexisting pulmonary diseases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The concurrent use of bleomycin and granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSFs) has historically been debated as a risk factor for bleomycin-induced pulmonary toxicity in patients with both testicular cancer and Hodgkin's lymphoma. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of pulmonary toxicity in patients with testicular cancer who were treated with bleomycin and pegfilgrastim concurrently. METHODS This is a retrospective study that includes male patients over the age of 18 years old diagnosed with testicular cancer who received bleomycin-containing chemotherapy regimens with and without the use of G-CSF agents. RESULTS There were a total of 33 patients identified as receiving bleomycin, with 30 of those patients having received concurrent G-CSF therapy. Of the patients who received G-CSF therapy, 11 patients (36.6%) experienced pulmonary toxicity leading to discontinuation of bleomycin or changes in chemotherapy regimens altogether. CONCLUSION There were no major differences in patient demographics or risk factors between those who received G-CSF and developed pulmonary toxicity and those who received G-CSF but did not develop pulmonary toxicity. Further studies are needed in order to fully assess the risk of pulmonary toxicity with this chemotherapy regimen.

Abstract
Versatile nanozymes with fascinating catalytic properties provide inspiring and effective options for biosensing and pharmaceutical analysis. Herein, we report the first nanozyme-based ratiometric fluorescent platform for cysteine (Cys) and bleomycin (BLM) detection by harnessing the cost-effective and "mix & act" G-quadruplex/Cu(II) (G4/Cu) metal-nanozyme with satisfactory peroxidase-like activity, which was fully proven by circular dichroism (CD), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging experiments. Based on the catalytic oxidation of G4/Cu metal-nanozyme toward two fluorescent substrates (Amplex Ultrared, AU; Scopoletin, Sc) with opposite responses in the presence of H2O2, and the specific interaction between Cu2+ and targets, we achieved the highly sensitive detection of Cys and BLM. Through recording the fluorescence changes of AU (emission at 590 nm, F590) and Sc (emission at 465 nm, F465), we obtained good linear relationships between ratiometric fluorescence values (F590/F465) and variable contents of targets, resulting in the competitive LODs of Cys (6.7 nM) and BLM (10 nM), respectively. Moreover, this platform presented high selectivity (without the need for masking agent) and acceptable performance in human serum samples. Furthermore, a library of DNA contrary logic pairs (CLPs) and multilevel concatenated circuits were fabricated based on the reverse dual-output of the above platform, enriching the building blocks of biocomputing. This work not only enlightened the design of affordable, "mix & act" type nanozyme-based ratiometric biosensors with high reliability, but also facilitated the pluralistic application of nucleic acid-templated nanozymes to innovative biocomputing.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hodgkin's lymphoma is currently treated with a chemotherapy protocol consisting of doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine. Due to Brazil facing a bleomycin shortage in 2017, and this drug's high toxicity, this retrospective study evaluates the effect that the absence of bleomycin had on treatment response and overall survival of Hodgkin's lymphoma patients. METHODS The medical records of 126 HL patients treated between 2007 and 2021 were reviewed and their data collected, followed by grouping into ABVD and AVD groups according to bleomycin use. Data concerning the patient's characteristics, cancer type, and treatment plan were analyzed with proportion tests, Kaplan-Meier curves. univariate Cox regression, and χ2 tests. RESULTS No discernible differences were found in this study between the overall survival and recurrence rate of patients treated with bleomycin compared to those without. Additionally, there was an increased risk of death in each subsequent cycle of chemotherapy of the complete ABVD protocol, demonstrating a risk of toxicity. Among the variables analyzed, hypertension and the presence of B symptoms were also associated with an increased risk of death, while the use of radiotherapy significantly improved survival. CONCLUSION The results of this study suggest that bleomycin did not impact the outcome of Hodgkin's lymphoma treatment. Moreover, the increased risk of death associated with its toxicity during each cycle of treatment raises concerns about its role as an essential component of the gold standard for Hodgkin's lymphoma treatment. Therefore, further research and consideration are needed to reassess the use of bleomycin in Hodgkin's lymphoma treatment protocols.

Abstract
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a progressive, and life-threatening interstitial lung disease which causes scarring in the lung parenchyma and thereby affects architecture and functioning of lung. It is an irreversible damage to lung functioning which is related to epithelial cell injury, immense accumulation of immune cells and inflammatory cytokines, and irregular recruitment of extracellular matrix. The inflammatory cytokines trigger the differentiation of fibroblasts into activated fibroblasts, also known as myofibroblasts, which further increase the production and deposition of collagen at the injury sites in the lung. Despite the significant morbidity and mortality associated with PF, there is no available treatment that efficiently and effectively treats the disease by reversing their underlying pathologies. In recent years, many therapeutic regimens, for instance, rho kinase inhibitors, Smad signaling pathway inhibitors, p38, BCL-xL/ BCL-2 and JNK pathway inhibitors, have been found to be potent and effective in treating PF, in preclinical stages. However, due to non-selectivity and non-specificity, the therapeutic molecules also result in toxicity mediated severe side effects. Hence, this review demonstrates recent advances on PF pathology, mechanism and targets related to PF, development of various drug delivery systems based on small molecules, RNAs, oligonucleotides, peptides, antibodies, exosomes, and stem cells for the treatment of PF and the progress of various therapeutic treatments in clinical trials to advance PF treatment.

Drug-induced pneumonitis risk in diffuse large B-cell/follicular lymphoma patients treated with R-CHOP-like regimen is associated with the use of granulocyte colony-stimulating growth factors. Cancer Med 2024; 13:e6898.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rituximab-based combinations are the standard of care in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL). Despite being on market for over 20 years, some of the adverse effects associated with the use of rituximab are not well known. Drug-induced interstitial pneumonitis (DIP) is a potentially fatal complication of the treatment. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF) are supportive agents commonly used to prevent neutropenic infections. G-CSF are reported to have pulmonary toxicity, but the risk of DIP is greater when used in combination with other potentially pulmotoxic agents. METHODS In this retrospective study, we reported the G-CSF use and risk of DIP in 234 DLBCL patients and 87 FL patients receiving R-CHOP-type immunochemotherapy. RESULTS In 72% of patients, the treatment included a G-CSF support. The overall incidence of treatment-induced pneumonitis was 6.9% in this patient group. All the DIP cases (n = 16) were among patients receiving G-CSF support (p = 0.03). Older age (over 60 years) and higher disease stage (Ann Arbor 3-4) also increased the risk of DIP. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the use of G-CSF increases the risk of DIP, when used in combination with rituximab-containing regimen.

Abstract
Interstitial lung disease can be an indication for lung transplant at any age, but it is a particularly common indication for lung transplant in infants. Nevertheless, not all interstitial lung diseases will lead to lung transplant in childhood. Genetic testing has aided the identification of these diseases in children. In severely affected patients, however, definitive diagnosis is not always necessary to consider referral to a transplant center. At experienced transplant centers, a multidisciplinary team educates patient families and aids in the transplant evaluation of children with interstitial lung disease. Children who have undergone transplant require lifetime immunosuppression and close surveillance, but can enjoy good quality of life for years following surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Collagen XIII is a transmembrane collagen associated with neuromuscular junction development, and in humans its deficiency results in congenital myasthenic syndrome type 19 (CMS19), which leads to breathing difficulties. CMS19 patients usually have restricted lung capacity and one patient developed chronic lung disease. In single-cell RNA sequencing studies, collagen XIII has been identified as a marker for pulmonary lipofibroblasts, which have been implicated in the resolution of pulmonary fibrosis. METHODS We investigated the location and function of collagen XIII in the lung to understand the origin of pulmonary symptoms in human CMS19 patients. Additionally, we performed immunostainings on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) samples (N=5) and both normal and fibrotic mouse lung. To study whether the lack of collagen XIII predisposes to restrictive lung disease, we exposed Col13a1-modified mice to bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. RESULTS Apparently normal alveolar septum sections of IPF patients' lungs stained faintly for collagen XIII, and its expression was pinpointed to the septal fibroblasts in the mouse lung. Lung capacity was increased in mice lacking collagen XIII by over 10%. In IPF samples, collagen XIII was expressed by basal epithelial cells, hyperplastic alveolar epithelial cells and stromal cells in fibrotic areas, but the development of pulmonary fibrosis was unaffected in collagen XIII-deficient mice. CONCLUSIONS Changes in mouse lung function appear to represent a myasthenic manifestation of collagen XIII deficiency. We suggest that respiratory muscle myasthenia is the primary cause of the breathing problems suffered by CMS19 patients in addition to skeletal deformities. Induction of collagen XIII expression in the IPF patients' lungs warrants further studies to reveal collagen XIII-dependent disease mechanisms.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bleomycin is a crucial and irreplaceable chemotherapy regimen for malignant ovarian germ cell tumours (MOGCTs) but its toxicities especially pulmonary fibrosis have limited the dose of treatment efficacy and decreased the patients' quality of life (QoL). Nintedanib has been approved for treating progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases and has shown potential anti-tumour effects. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of nintedanib in the prevention of pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin in MOGCTs patients. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a multicentre, randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial. We will enrol a total of 128 patients who will be randomly assigned to the nintedanib group and placebo group in a 1:1 ratio. Standard bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin chemotherapy will be given to each MOGCT patient. In addition, patients assigned to nintedanib and the control group will be given oral nintedanib 150 mg two times per day and placebo one tablet two times per day until 1 month after the last cycle of bleomycin therapy, respectively. The primary outcome is the decline of forced vital capacity (FVC). The secondary outcomes are the decline of other pulmonary function indices (forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FVC pred%, carbon monoxide diffusion capacity) and the patients' QoL, oncological and fertility outcomes. We will use electronic case report forms to record all the participants' data and SPSS V.27.0/STATA V.16.0/Graphpad Prism V.8.0 to conduct statistical analysis. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The Ethics Committee of Peking Union Medical College Hospital has approved the study (I-23PJ400). Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants/guardians. Study results will be submitted to peer-reviewed medical journals for publication and presented at academic conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR2300070492.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin combination chemotherapy (BEP) improves the survival of patients with testicular cancer, but is associated with potentially life-threatening toxicities like pneumonitis and thromboembolic events. This study explored the effects of physical exercise in patients with testicular cancer during or after BEP-chemotherapy on pulmonary and vascular endothelial toxicity. METHODS In this post hoc analysis of a multicenter randomized clinical trial (NCT01642680), patients with metastatic testicular cancer scheduled to receive BEP-chemotherapy were randomized to a 24-week exercise intervention, initiated during (group A) or after BEP-chemotherapy (group B). Endpoints were pulmonary function (forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), lung transfer-coefficient and transfer factor for carbon monoxide (KCO, DLCO) and markers of vascular endothelial dysfunction (von Willebrand factor (vWF) and factor VIII). RESULTS Thirty patients were included. Post-chemotherapy, patients declined less in FVC, FEV1 and DLCO in group A compared to group B. Post-chemotherapy, vWF and factor VIII were significantly lower in group A compared to group B. After completion of exercise, started either during BEP-chemotherapy or thereafter, no between-group differences were found. At 1-year post-intervention, significant between-group differences were found in favour of group A in DLCO and KCO. CONCLUSIONS Patients who exercised during BEP-chemotherapy better preserved FVC, FEV1 and DLCO, measured directly post-chemotherapy and 1-year post-intervention (DLCO, KCO). This coincided with less increase in vWF and factor VIII measured directly post-chemotherapy. These data support a beneficial role of a physical exercise intervention during BEP-chemotherapy on pulmonary and vascular damage in patients with testicular cancer.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive scarring interstitial lung disease with an unknown cause. Some patients may experience acute exacerbations (AE), which result in severe lung damage visible on imaging or through examination of tissue samples, often leading to high mortality rates. However, the etiology and pathogenesis of AE-IPF remain unclear. AE-IPF patients exhibit diffuse lung damage, apoptosis of type II alveolar epithelial cells, and an excessive inflammatory response. Establishing a reliable animal model of AE is critical for investigating the pathogenesis. Recent studies have reported a variety of animal models for AE-IPF, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. These models are usually established in mice with bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, using viruses, bacteria, small peptides, or specific drugs. In this review, we present an overview of different AE models, hoping to provide a useful resource for exploring the mechanisms and targeted therapies for AE-IPF.

Abstract
Although the antineoplastic agent bleomycin is known for more than 50 years, its exact pharmacological and side-effect mechanisms remain incompletely understood. The major limitation of bleomycin therapy is the risk of pulmonary toxicity which can be diverse, and potentially fatal in 10% of patients. The optimal treatment for bleomycin lung toxicity has not been established and no clinical trials have been performed. Here we present first successful case report of nintedanib therapy in a patient with bleomycin-induced lung injury (BILI). The prevention, early diagnosis, and management of bleomycin pulmonary toxicities are essential, clinical trials are needed in this area.

Curr Oncol 2023; 30:8019-8038. [PMID: 37754497 PMCID: PMC10529919 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol30090582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Ongoing advances in precision cancer therapy have increased the number of molecularly targeted and immuno-oncology agents for a variety of cancers, many of which have been associated with a risk of pulmonary complications, among the most concerning being drug-induced interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis (DI-ILD). As the number of patients undergoing treatment with novel anticancer agents continues to grow, DI-ILD is expected to become an increasingly significant clinical challenge. Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) is an antibody-drug conjugate targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 that is gaining widespread use in the metastatic breast cancer setting and is undergoing exploration for other oncologic indications. ILD/pneumonitis is an adverse event of special interest associated with T-DXd, which has potentially fatal consequences if left untreated and allowed to progress. When identified in the asymptomatic stage (grade 1), T-DXd-related ILD can be monitored and treated effectively with the possibility of treatment continuation. Delayed diagnosis and/or treatment, however, results in progression to grade 2 or higher toxicity and necessitates immediate and permanent discontinuation of this active agent. Strategies are, therefore, needed to optimize careful monitoring during treatment to ensure patient safety and optimize outcomes. Several guidance documents have been developed regarding strategies for the early identification and management of T-DXd-related ILD, although none have been within the context of the Canadian health care environment. A Canadian multidisciplinary steering committee was, therefore, convened to evaluate existing recommendations and adapt them for application in Canada. A multidisciplinary approach involving collaboration among medical oncologists, radiologists, respirologists, and allied health care professionals is needed to ensure the proactive identification and management of T-DXd-related ILD and DI-ILD associated with other agents with a similar toxicity profile.

[PMID: 37011735 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.116423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2022] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Jingfang granules (JF), one famous traditional Chinese formula in "She Sheng Zhong Miao Fang" written by Shi-Che Zhang during the Ming Dynasty era, has been widely used to prevent epidemic diseases in history and now was recommended for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in China. However, the roles of JF against acute lung injury and its mechanisms remain unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY Acute lung injury (ALI) and its progressive acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are a continuum of lung inflammatory disease with high morbidity and mortality in clinic, especially in COVID-19 patients. The present study aims to investigate the effect of JF on ALI and clarify its underlying mechanisms for clinical application in COVID-19 control. METHODS Bleomycin-induced ALI mice were given oral gavage daily for seven days with or without Jingfang granules (2, 4 g/kg). The body weight, lung wet/dry weight ratios, lung appearance and tissue histopathology were evaluated. Quantitative real-time PCR, biochemical bronchoalveolar lavage fluids analysis was used to determine the gene expression of proinflammation factor and infiltrated inflammatory cells in lung. Immunofluorescence image and western blot were used to detect the markers of alveolar macrophages (AMs), endothelial cell apoptosis and changes of CD200-CD200R pathway. RESULTS Firstly, histopathological analysis showed that JF significantly attenuated pulmonary injury and inflammatory response in ALI mice. Then, cytokine detection, inflammatory cells assay, and JNKs and p38 pathway analysis indicated that the recruitment and activation of alveolar macrophages was the main reason to cause ALI and JF could reverse this variation. Next, immunofluorescence staining and TUNEL assay showed that JF upregulated the expression of CD200 and suppressed the apoptosis of alveolar endothelial cells. Finally, double immunofluorescence staining of CD200 and CD11c indicated that the seriously damaged tissue had the lower CD200 while more AMs infiltration, which was confirmed by RT-PCR analysis of CD200/CD200R. CONCLUSIONS Jingfang granules can protect lung from acu te injury and mitigate the recruitment and overactive AMs-induced inflammation via CD200-CD200R immunoregulatory signal axis, which will provide an experimental basis for Jingfang granules clinical applications in COVID-19.

Abstract
For many centuries, products of natural origin from plants, marine, microbes and soil micro-organisms have been studied by numerous researchers across the world to yield many of the chemotherapeutic agents we use in this modern era. There has been a tremendous gain in knowledge from various screening and separating techniques which led to the discovery of biologically active small molecules from natural products. Preclinical studies testing the antitumor activities of these agents against tumor cell lines and xenograft animal models were the gateway to the clinical trials in humans leading to the approval of these agents that are in clinical use today. This review summarizes how various chemotherapeutic agents were discovered from products of natural origin, their preclinical development, and their indications in both pediatric and adult oncology. Many of these natural products have contributed to the very high cure rates of both pediatric leukemias and solid tumors.

Abstract
Acute lung injury leads to the development of chronic conditions such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma as well as alveolar sarcoma. Various investigations are being performed worldwide to understand the pathophysiology of these diseases, develop novel bioactive compounds and inhibitors to target the ailment. Generally, in vivo models are used to understand the disease outcome and therapeutic suppressing effects for which the animals are chemically or physically induced to mimic the onset of definite disease conditions. Amongst the chemical inducing agents, Bleomycin (BLM) is the most successful inducer. It is reported to target various receptors and activate inflammatory pathways, cellular apoptosis, epithelial mesenchymal transition leading to the release of inflammatory cytokines, and proteases. Mice is one of the most widely used animal model for BLM induced pulmonary associated studies apart from rat, rabbit, sheep, pig, and monkey. Although, there is considerable variation amongst in vivo studies for BLM induction which suggests a detailed study on the same to understand the mechanism of action of BLM at molecular level. Hence, herein we have reviewed various chemical inducers, mechanism of action of BLM in inducing lung injury in vivo, its advantages and disadvantages. Further, we have also discussed the rationale behind various in vivo models and recent development in BLM induction for various animals.

Ameliorative Potential of Donepezil with or without Prednisolone in Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis in Rats: Involvement of the Anti-Inflammatory, Antioxidant, and the Antifibrotic Pathways. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:medicina59050980. [PMID: 37241212 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59050980] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis is one of the serious complications that may limit the use of bleomycin in cancer therapy. To date, there is no effective remedy for the amelioration of this condition. Donepezil, an anti-Alzheimer's medication, has recently been proven to exhibit potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antifibrotic effects. To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first study designed to investigate the prophylactic effects of donepezil, either alone or in combination with the classic anti-inflammatory drug prednisolone, in bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Methods: This study was carried out on fifty rats, which were divided into five equal groups: control (Saline) group; bleomycin group; bleomycin + prednisolone group; bleomycin + donepezil group; and bleomycin + prednisolone + donepezil group. At the end of the experiments, bronchoalveolar lavage was performed to evaluate the total and differential leucocytic counts. The right lung was processed to assess the oxidative stress markers, proinflammatory cytokines, NLRP3 inflammasome, and transforming growth factor-beta1. The left lung was subjected to histopathological and immunohistochemical examination. Results: The administration of donepezil and/or prednisolone induced a significant amelioration of oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis. In addition, these animals showed a significant amelioration of the histopathological changes of fibrosis, together with a significant decline in nuclear factor kappa B (p65) immunoexpression, compared to the group treated with bleomycin alone. However, the rats treated with the donepezil/prednisolone combination showed non-significant effects on the aforementioned parameters compared to the group treated with prednisolone alone. Conclusions: Donepezil may emerge as a promising drug that shows significant prophylactic effects against bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical commonly used as a household antiseptic for cleaning and disinfecting. No cases of acute hydrogen peroxide inhalation-induced lung injury are previously described. We present a case of acute chemical pneumonitis caused by mixing hydrogen peroxide in a nighttime continuous positive airway pressure device's humidifier used for obstructive sleep apnea to prevent COVID-19 infection. The patient endorsed mixing hydrogen peroxide with distilled water in his nighttime continuous positive airway pressure device's humidifier at a ratio of 1:3-1:2 for the previous week before admission based on a friend's advice in preventing COVID-19. The presenting chest X-ray showed new multifocal consolidations with interstitial markings and alveolar edema throughout both lungs. Chest computed tomography (CT) imaging demonstrated multifocal, bilateral, hazy consolidations with increased interstitial markings and bilateral pleural effusions. The patient was subsequently initiated on systemic glucocorticoid therapy, significantly improving hypoxemia and dyspnea. Inhalation of hydrogen peroxide may produce acute pneumonitis distinct from what has been described previously with chronic inhalation. Given this case, systemic glucocorticoid therapy may be considered a viable treatment option for acute hydrogen peroxide-associated inhalation lung injury causing pneumonitis.

Abstract
Pediatric extracranial germ cell tumors (GCTs) are rare, accounting for approximately 3.5% of childhood cancers. Since the introduction of platinum-based chemotherapy, the survival rate of patients has improved to more than 80%. However, poor-risk subtypes of pediatric extracranial GCTs do not respond well to chemotherapy, leading to refractory or relapsed (R/R) diseases. For example, long-term survival rates of mediastinal GCTs or choriocarcinoma are less than 50%. According to reports in recent years for adult patients with R/R GCTs, the use of high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) combined with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has clinical advantages; however, HDCT combined with ASCT has rarely been reported in pediatric GCTs. The R/R and poor-risk groups of pediatric GCTs could benefit from HDCT and ASCT.

Abstract
Bleomycins (BLMs) are widely used in clinics as antitumor agents. However, BLM-based chemotherapies often accompany severe pulmonary fibrosis (PF). Human bleomycin hydrolase is a cysteine protease that can convert BLMs into inactive deamido-BLMs. In this study, mannose-modified hierarchically porous UiO-66 (MHP-UiO-66) nanoparticles (NPs) were used to encapsulate the recombinant human bleomycin hydrolase (rhBLMH). When rhBLMH@MHP-UiO-66 was intratracheally instilled into the lungs, the NPs were transported into the epithelial cells, and rhBLMH prevented the lungs from PF during BLM-based chemotherapies. Encapsulation of rhBLMH in the MHP-UiO-66 NPs protects the enzyme from proteolysis in physiological conditions and enhances cellular uptake. In addition, the MHP-UiO-66 NPs significantly enhance the pulmonary accumulation of intratracheally instilled rhBLMH, thus providing more efficient protection of the lungs against BLMs during the chemotherapies.

Abstract
International Germ Cell Cancer Collaborative Group good-risk metastatic seminoma has cure rates of >95%. Within this risk group, patients with stage II disease exhibit the best oncological outcomes with the standard-of-care treatment strategies of radiotherapy or combination chemotherapy. However, these treatments can be associated with substantial early and late toxic effects. Therapy de-escalation aims to reduce treatment morbidity whilst preserving oncological outcomes. The evidence supporting such approaches is largely from non-randomized institutional data, and therefore this strategy is not recognized as standard of care. Current de-escalation approaches for stage II seminoma include single-agent chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery based on early data from clinical studies. Increased recognition of emerging data on treatment modification to reduce morbidity whilst maintaining cure rates and consideration of therapy de-escalation could improve patient survivorship outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The management of vulvar cancer recurrences is complicated by patients' advanced age and comorbidities. Bleomycin-based electrochemotherapy is a potential treatment option in this setting. However, no data on long-term outcomes are available. Therefore, a multicenter observational study was designed to evaluate the 5-year results in these patients. METHODS Data about patients and tumor characteristics, electrochemotherapy cycles, clinical response, and follow-up were recorded. Treatment procedures were performed according to the European Standard Operating Procedures of Electrochemotherapy (ESOPE) guidelines. Response was evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. RESULTS Fifty-one patients (mean age 82.31±7.28 years) with squamous cell vulvar cancer underwent electrochemotherapy (median number of sessions 1; range 1-4). 20 patients had complete response and 32% of these were disease-free after 2 years (median progression-free survival 16.8 months). In 13 patients with partial response the median progression-free survival was 15.36 months, while patients with stable or progressive disease showed tumor relapse after 6.95 and 3.26 months, respectively (p<0.001). Median overall survival was 18.77, 13.07, 6.73, and 11.13 months in patients with complete response, partial response, stable disease, and progressive disease, respectively (p=0.001). CONCLUSION Long-term follow-up of vulvar cancer patients showed reasonable tumor control after electrochemotherapy and improved progression-free survival and overall survival in responder subjects compared with non-responders. Further studies aimed at improving local response after electrochemotherapy are warranted. Thus, this approach represents a potential alternative for these patients.

AbstractIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by permanent scarring of lung tissue and declining lung function, and is an incurable disease with increase in prevalence over the past decade. The current consensus is that aberrant wound healing following repeated injuries to the pulmonary epithelium is the most probable cause of IPF, with various immune inflammatory pathways having been reported to impact disease pathogenesis. While the role of immune cells, specifically T lymphocytes and regulatory T cells (Treg), in IPF pathogenesis has been reported and discussed recently, the pathogenic or beneficial roles of these cells in inducing or preventing lung fibrosis is still debated. This lack of understanding could be due in part to the difficulty in obtaining diseased human lung tissue for research purposes. For this reason, many animal models have been developed over the years to attempt to mimic the main clinical hallmarks of IPF: among these, inducing lung injury in rodents with the anti-cancer agent bleomycin has now become the most commonly studied animal model of IPF. Pulmonary fibrosis is the major side effect when bleomycin is administered for cancer treatment in human patients, and a similar effect can be observed after intra-tracheal administration of bleomycin to rodents. Despite many pathophysiological pathways of lung fibrosis having been investigated in bleomycin-injured animal models, one central facet still remains controversial, namely the involvement of specific T lymphocyte subsets, and in particular Treg, in disease pathogenesis. This review aims to summarize the major findings and conclusions regarding the involvement of immune cells and their receptors in the pathogenesis of IPF, and to elaborate on important parallels between animal models and the human disease. A more detailed understanding of the role of Treg and other immune cell subsets in lung injury and fibrosis derived from animal models is a critical basis for translating this knowledge to the development of new immune-based therapies for the treatment of human IPF.

Immune Biomarkers in the Peripheral Blood and Tumor Microenvironment of Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma Patients in Relation to Tumor Burden and Response to Treatment. Hemasphere 2022; 6:e794. [PMID: 36325271 PMCID: PMC9619233 DOI: 10.1097/hs9.0000000000000794] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Accepted: 09/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
In classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), the malignant cells represent only a small fraction of the tumor. Yet, they orchestrate a lymphocyte-dominated tumor microenvironment (TME) that supports their survival and growth. The systemic effects of this local immunomodulation are not fully elucidated. Here, we aimed at characterizing circulating lymphocytes and plasma proteins in relation to clinical parameters and treatment effect. Peripheral blood (PB) samples were obtained from 48 consecutive patients at diagnosis and at 2 time points after successful primary treatment. Single-cell suspensions were prepared from lymph node (LN) biopsies obtained for routine diagnostic purposes. Twenty healthy individuals were included as controls. Cells from PB and LN were analyzed by flow cytometry, and plasma proteins by Proximity Extension Assay. We found that the frequencies of T and B cells positively correlated between the LN and the PB compartments. Compared to controls, cHL patients had higher frequencies of proliferating T cells as well as higher expression of programmed death (PD)-1 and cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen (CTLA)-4 in circulating T cells, and lower naive T-cell frequencies. Advanced-stage patients had fewer NK cells with a functionally impaired phenotype. Differences in the immune profile were observed in patients with a high tumor burden and with high inflammation, respectively. Most of these deviations disappeared after standard first-line treatment. Patients who received radiotherapy involving the mediastinum had low T-cell counts for a prolonged period. Our findings suggest that the immunomodulation of lymphocytes in the TME of cHL might affect immune biomarkers in the PB.

Abstract
Bleomycin is a commonly used cytotoxic agent that has proven its efficacy over the years. Though a common part of many protocols targeting lymphomas and germ cell tumors, it does have some serious adverse effects. Bleomycin is notorious for pulmonary toxicity and very rarely may cause fulminant hyperpyrexia. We describe two cases of classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cHL) developing acute fulminant hyperpyrexia after administration of the first dose of bleomycin as part of chemotherapy protocol. This is a rare adverse reaction that closely mimics anaphylaxis and has an unpredictable and possibly fatal course. Health care professionals involved in the administration of chemotherapy need to be very vigilant in monitoring for symptoms of this reaction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Changes in the incidence of bleomycin pulmonary toxicity (BPT) as a result of adding colony-stimulating factors (CSF) to bleomycin regimens has been investigated in numerous studies. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the outcomes of these studies. METHODS A systematic search was performed using Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase on April 2021. Studies evaluating the incidence of BPT in patients receiving bleomycin with and without CSF were included. In addition, meta-analysis was performed by pooling odds ratios using R. RESULTS Out of 340 obtained records, our qualitative and quantitative analysis included 3234 and 1956 patients from 22 and 14 studies, respectively. The quantitative synthesis showed that addition of CSF significantly increased the risk of BPT incidence (OR = 1.82, 95 % CI: 1.37-2.40, p < 0.0001; I2 = 10.7 %). Subgroup analysis did not show any association between continent, bleomycin dose, cancer type, type of study, and pulmonary function test with BPT incidence. CONCLUSION This systematic review and meta-analysis showed that co-administration of CSF with bleomycin increases the incidence of BPT. The physicians need to consider this finding while deciding the best strategy for this cohort of patients.

Abstract
Carboplatin is a chemotherapy agent widely used in veterinary oncology to treat various types of tumors including carcinomas. Carboplatin has previously been used in combination with 5-Fluoro uracil (5-FU) or gemcitabine for the treatment of various carcinomas. Bleomycin is a chemotherapy drug commonly used in humans, but its use has been uncommonly reported in dogs. The combination of carboplatin and bleomycin chemotherapy treatment has never been reported in dogs. Dogs diagnosed with carcinoma and treated with a combination of carboplatin and bleomycin, at a single veterinary referral center, were retrospectively evaluated. Thirty patients met the inclusion criteria. The dose of carboplatin ranged from 200–250 mg/m2 (median 240 mg/m2) and the dose of bleomycin from 15–20 IU/m2 (median 15 IU/m2). The treatment with carboplatin and bleomycin was well tolerated, with sixteen patients (53%) developing side effects. Thirteen patients (46%) developed gastrointestinal signs and nine dogs (30%) developed hematological abnormalities. The most common side effects were grade-1 hyporexia and grade-1 neutropenia. Grade-2 neutropenia was rarely observed, and only one patient developed grade-3 neutropenia. None of the dogs developed grade-4 adverse events, or required hospitalization, or died due to the treatment. No signs of chronic side effects, including pulmonary toxicity, were observed. Objective response was observed in 24% of the cases (six partial responses) and 76% of cases achieved clinical benefit (partial response+ stable disease). Clinical signs improved in 24 of the 30 cases (80%). The main aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of bleomycin and carboplatin in combination for the treatment of various types of carcinomas. The combination of bleomycin and carboplatin appears safe and potentially effective for some types of carcinomas. Larger prospective studies are needed to confirm the safety and efficacy of combined carboplatin and bleomycin.

Abstract
Bleomycin, a chemotherapy agent that inhibits synthesis of DNA, has been increasingly utilized in sclerotherapy for patients with vascular malformations. A serious long-term risk of intravenous bleomycin is dose-dependent interstitial pneumonitis. Little is known about absorption and circulating levels of bleomycin when used in sclerotherapy for patients with vascular malformations. This is an Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved prospective study on patients receiving bleomycin sclerotherapy in the management of vascular malformations. Depending on the type of vascular malformation, bleomycin was administered either in the lumen or interstitial space of the involved lesion. A bleomycin assay measured serum bleomycin plasma concentrations versus time at seven intervals following treatment. Pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained for each participant and included peak plasma concentration (Cmax ), time to reach peak plasma concentration (Tmax ), volume of distribution (Vd ), elimination half-life (t1/2 ), the volume of plasma cleared of the drug per unit time (CL), and total systemic exposure area under the curve (AUC). Fifteen patients were enrolled (5: lymphatic, 4: venous, 6: arteriovenous malformations). Bleomycin was administered interstitially (IS) in 11 patients and intraluminal (IL) in four; median age of 13 years (range: 2-67). Pharmacokinetic analysis revealed terminal elimination half-life (t1/2λz ) of 88.51 (±23.09) and 111.61 (±37.75) minutes for the IS and IL groups, respectively. Vd was 4.86 L (±6.74) and 1.55 L (±0.54) for the IS and IL groups, respectively. AUC was 53.9 (±23.45) and 129.17 (±93.57) mg min/L for the IS and IL groups, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in t1/2λz , Vd , or AUC parameters between groups. Bleomycin is absorbed systemically when used as a sclerosant for vascular malformations when injected either IS or IL.

Abstract
Bleomycin is an antibiotic that is often used as a chemotherapeutic agent due to its antitumor activities against a variety of malignancies. A feared and often fatal side effect of this drug is a pulmonary injury causing inflammation that can progress to pulmonary fibrosis. Bleomycin damages lung endothelial cells by the production of free radicals that can only occur when it is bound to certain metals in the body. It forms a complex with iron and once activated by iron reduction, it destroys deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Therefore, it is suggested that the availability of iron in the body may play a role in the pathogenesis of bleomycin toxicity although no related cases have been documented. This is a case of a 75-year-old female with no prior history of pulmonary disease who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and received 12 doses of bleomycin over the course of six cycles of chemotherapy. She then presented to the hospital with respiratory failure five months after her completion of treatment. Interestingly, one month prior to presentation, she was given two intravenous iron infusions of ferumoxytol five days apart for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia. Within a week of receiving the iron, she developed dyspnea with a nonproductive cough. About a month after she developed these symptoms, she presented to the hospital and was found to be hypoxic with any activity and was subsequently placed on oxygen via nasal cannula. Her lung imaging showed new reticulonodular and patchy infiltrates bilaterally concerning for pneumonitis and her physical examination was significant for black discoloration of her fingertips and toes along with expiratory rhonchi heard throughout her lungs. During the hospitalization, her oxygen requirements increased, and the patient ended up in the intensive care unit on bilevel positive airway pressure. Her lung imaging, rapid progression, and skin findings made the clinical diagnosis of bleomycin toxicity. Out of concern that the intravenous iron may have played a role in the toxicity, iron chelation was attempted. The patient was given two doses of deferoxamine over two consecutive days and her symptoms of dyspnea along with her oxygen requirements improved. Unfortunately, these positive effects only lasted a few days and the patient continued to decline and ultimately passed away. This case raises many questions regarding iron’s role in bleomycin toxicity, including if intravenous iron infusions may increase the risk of pulmonary injury from bleomycin. There are currently no guidelines or recommendations that suggest withholding iron supplementation in patients undergoing chemotherapy with bleomycin. There is also insufficient evidence to support the routine use of iron chelation in a patient that presents with bleomycin-induced lung injury. However, some studies suggest that iron chelation may play a role in preventing pulmonary toxicity. It may also lessen the severity of the toxicity or improve some of the related symptoms, thus warranting further research.

Abstract
Sustained exposure of the lung to various environmental or occupational toxins may eventually lead to pulmonary fibrosis, a devastating disease with no cure. Pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins such as fibronectin and collagens. The peptidase plasmin degrades the ECM, but protein levels of the plasmin activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) are increased in fibrotic lung tissue, thereby dampening plasmin activity. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-induced activation of SMAD transcription factors promotes ECM deposition by enhancing collagen, fibronectin and PAI-1 levels in pulmonary fibroblasts. Hence, counteracting TGF-β1-induced signaling is a promising approach for the therapy of pulmonary fibrosis. Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M Member 7 (TRPM7) supports TGF-β1-promoted SMAD signaling in T-lymphocytes and the progression of fibrosis in kidney and heart. Thus, we investigated possible effects of TRPM7 on plasmin activity, ECM levels and TGF-β1 signaling in primary human pulmonary fibroblasts (pHPF). We found that two structurally unrelated TRPM7 blockers enhanced plasmin activity and reduced fibronectin or PAI-1 protein levels in pHPF under basal conditions. Further, TRPM7 blockade strongly inhibited fibronectin and collagen deposition induced by sustained TGF-β1 stimulation. In line with these data, inhibition of TRPM7 activity diminished TGF-β1-triggered phosphorylation of SMAD-2, SMAD-3/4-dependent reporter activation and PAI-1 mRNA levels. Overall, we uncover TRPM7 as a novel supporter of TGF-β1 signaling in pHPF and propose TRPM7 blockers as new candidates to control excessive ECM levels under pathophysiological conditions conducive to pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Childhood Hodgkin lymphoma survivors suffer from long-term effects decades after treatment completion with a prevalence of pulmonary dysfunction of up to 65.2%. AIMS This study explored the early trajectory of pulmonary function in pediatric cancer patients with Hodgkin lymphoma who received pulmonary toxic therapy. METHODS AND RESULTS In this single-center, 20-year retrospective cohort study, we included patients who were <18 years old at diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma between January 1994 and December 2014, and received bleomycin or thoracic radiation. We measured pulmonary function and reported on percent predicted values for forced expiratory volume in 1 s, total lung capacity, and diffusing capacity of the lungs. We used linear mixed models to identify the association of clinical factors with longitudinal changes in lung function at time points before and after treatment completion. Of 80 children who met inclusion criteria, all were treated with bleomycin, and 83.8% received thoracic radiation. More than half (51.2%) of patients had any abnormalities in lung function measures during the study observation period which averaged 24.2 months (±31.1SD). Females, younger age at diagnosis and treatment with radiation were associated with lower lung function measurements at various time points. While the majority of children experienced a recovery of their lung function within 1-2 years after treatment completion, some children with these risk factors did not. CONCLUSION Pulmonary function abnormalities begin early in children treated for Hodgkin lymphoma. While the majority of children demonstrate a slow and continuous improvement in lung function back to baseline over time, we recommend routine asymptomatic screening of pulmonary function in certain childhood cancer survivors, particularly females, those diagnosed young and patients who received radiation therapy.

Abstract
Classical Hodgkin's lymphoma is a highly curable disease, but 10-25% of patients with higher-risk disease relapse. The introduction of checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) targeting PD-1 have changed the landscape of treatment for patients with relapsed/refractory disease to multiple lines of therapy. The depth of response to CPI as a monotherapy is highest in the first relapse as salvage therapy based on outcomes reported in several phase II studies. With earlier use of CPI and brentuximab vedotin, the optimal sequencing of therapy is evolving. In this review, we will summarize clinical investigation of anti-PD-1 mAb in earlier line settings to provide insights on utilizing these agents as chemotherapy- and radiation-sparing approaches, increasing depth of response, and as part of combination regimens.

Abstract
Introduction. Pulmonary toxicity induced by bleomycin is a dangerous complication of polychemotherapy in patients with germ cell tumors. It occurs with a frequency of up to 46%, and in 14% of cases it is fatal.
Aim. To present cases of pulmonary toxicity during polychemotherapy with the inclusion of bleomycin for testicular germ cell tumors.
Materials and Methods. Two patients aged 43 and 33 years old with testicular germ cell tumors were under observation after orchifuniculectomy who underwent chemotherapy according to the BER scheme (bleomycin + etoposide + cisplatin) in the steady-state mode in 4 and 6 cycles respectively. Positron emission tomography combined with computer tomography (PET/CT) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose was performed when clinical symptoms appeared at the end of treatment.
Results. Histologically, the tumor in a 33-year-old patient was a mixed tumor seminoma, embryonal cancer with teratoid cancer elements. Abdominal spiral computed tomography revealed metastases to retroperitoneal lymph nodes. In a 43-year-old patient, the tumor had the structure of fetal cancer with multiple metastases to the lungs, mediastinal lymph nodes and retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Six and four cycles of polychemotherapy according to the BER regimen were administered, respectively. The cumulative dose of bleomycin was 540 and 360 mg in 18 and 12 injections. Treatment was accompanied by the development of febrile neutropenia with G-CSF correction. These risk factors should be considered the most significant. The appearance of respiratory symptoms during treatment should be regarded as a manifestation of pulmonary toxicity. PET/CT is the method of choice for diagnosis. The clinical picture in the observed patients, as well as changes on PET/CT, were detected 2 weeks after chemotherapy was completed.
Conclusion. Pulmonary toxicity induced by the use of bleomycin in patients with germ cell testicular tumors is a very dangerous complication, sometimes with a lethal outcome. Therefore, its early diagnosis taking into account risk factors is of great importance in clinical practice. Among medical imaging methods, a special role is played by PET/CT, which allows predicting toxicity before the clinical and radiological debut.

Construction of MicroRNA-mRNA Regulatory Network in the Molecular Mechanisms of Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:7367328. [PMID: 35402615 PMCID: PMC8986370 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7367328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Bleomycin is a common antitumor agent used to treat many different types of malignancies; however, its main side effect is pulmonary fibrosis. The mechanism of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis (BIPF) has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, to further explore the molecular mechanisms of BIPF, we screened for microRNA (miRNA) and mRNA expression obtained from BIPF samples from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Subsequently, we identified the differentially expressed miRNAs and genes that overlapped with the differentially expressed miRNAs target genes, predicted by using the miRWalk database selected as a candidate. The candidate genes were visualized based on Gene Ontology and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses. A protein-protein interaction network was constructed. Hub differentially expressed genes were selected and corresponding miRNAs to construct a miRNA-mRNA regulation network. Then, we chose three key miRNAs to study their regulatory relationship in bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Finally, mouse lung epithelial cells TC-1 and MLE-12 were treated with bleomycin with qPCR to validate the results of three important hub genes and all key miRNAs. And dual-luciferase report experiment was carried out to verify the interaction of mmu-miR-1946a and serpina3n. The results revealed that the imbalance of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) plays a pivotal role in the occurrence and development of BIPF. In addition, Serpina3n and mmu-miR-1946a were proved interaction and may be involved in the regulation of the balance between MMP-9 and TIMP-1. The experimental results also verify the analysis. Our findings provide new insights into the key mediators and pathways related to the molecular mechanisms of BIPF.

Abstract
Introduction Bleomycin is a major antimitotic agent in the first-line treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma. The main limitation of its use is its pulmonary toxicity. The objectives of this study are to find out the risk factors for the occurrence of bleomycin-induced lung toxicity in patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma and, on the other hand, to determine if positron emission tomography scan is a reliable means of early detection of this toxicity. Methods This is a retrospective study conducted in the clinical Hematology Department of Mohammed V Military Instruction Hospital, Rabat, Morocco. All patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma and treated with a bleomycin-based chemotherapy were included. The impact of different clinical and biological factors on the risk of bleomycin-induced lung toxicity occurrence was assessed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The benefit of positron emission tomography, usually performed as part of the re-assessment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma after two and four cycles, has been evaluated in the detection of bleomycin-induced lung toxicity. Results Among 124 patients included in the study, 18 (14.5%) patients experienced bleomycin-induced lung toxicity. On multivariate analysis, smoking (p = 0.038) and the use of the ABVD regimen (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) compared to the escalated BEACOPPe regimen (bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone) (p = 0.018) were statistically significant risk factors. After two and four courses of therapy, the positron emission tomography was able to predict the occurrence of bleomycin-induced lung toxicity before the appearance of clinical symptoms only in 36.4 % and 12.5% of patients, respectively. Conclusion Studies to identify risk factors for the development of bleomycin-induced lung toxicity are crucial to reduce toxicity in the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, two- and four-cycle positron emission tomography scans cannot be considered as a reliable means of early detection of this toxicity.

Abstract
Bleomycin is a cancer chemotherapeutic agent that induces pulmonary fibrosis. Vitamin D plays an immunomodulation role. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells have a strong therapeutic effect in fatal pulmonary fibrosis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the significance of vitamin D and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells as therapeutic agents on lung injuries caused by Bleomycin in adult male rats. Thirty-five adult male albino rats were allocated into five experimental groups. The control group was the group I. The group given a single intratracheal instillation of Bleomycin was group II. The group was given vitamin D3 for 2 days before Bleomycin administration was group III. Group IV was the group that was injected by a single dose of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) after 4 weeks of Bleomycin injection. Group V was the withdrawal group. Histological, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural techniques were used to process and evaluate lung tissues. The lung of group 2 was demonstrated interalveolar septal thickening by RBCs, infiltration of mononuclear cells, deposition of collagen, and marked positive alpha-smooth muscle actin immunoreactivity. Mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow can diminish Bleomycin-generated fibrosis of the lungs and inflammation in rats better than vitamin D treatment.

GSPE Protects against Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis in Mice via Ameliorating Epithelial Apoptosis through Inhibition of Oxidative Stress. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:8200189. [PMID: 35355866 PMCID: PMC8958066 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8200189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2022] [Accepted: 03/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive interstitial lung disease of unknown cause which leads to alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis followed by basement membrane disruption and accumulation of extracellular matrix, destroying the lung architecture. Oxidative stress is involved in the development of alveolar injury, inflammation, and fibrosis. Oxidative stress-mediated alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) apoptosis is suggested to be a key process in the pathogenesis of IPF. Therefore, the present study investigated whether grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) could inhibit the development of pulmonary fibrosis via ameliorating epithelial apoptosis through the inhibition of oxidative stress. We found that GSPE significantly ameliorated the histological changes and the level of collagen deposition in bleomycin (BLM)-induced lungs. Moreover, GSPE attenuated lung inflammation by reducing the total number of cells in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and decreasing the expression of IL-6. We observed that the levels of H2O2 leading to oxidative stress were increased following BLM instillation, which significantly decreased with GSPE treatment both in vivo and in vitro. These findings showed that GSPE attenuated BLM-induced epithelial apoptosis in the mouse lung and A549 alveolar epithelial cell through the inhibition of oxidative stress. Furthermore, GSPE could attenuate mitochondrial-associated cell apoptosis via decreasing the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. The present study demonstrates that GSPE could ameliorate bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice via inhibition of epithelial apoptosis through the inhibition of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Pulmonary fibrosis caused by bleomycin-induced pneumonia (BIP) is the most important side effect limiting the use of bleomycin and is mainly treated with corticosteroids. However, 1% to 4% of patients do not respond to corticosteroid therapy. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and BIP develop by similar pathophysiological mechanisms. Nintedanib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used successfully in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and there is no information about its use in BIP treatment. Here, we would like to present a 13-year-old boy with Hodgkin lymphoma who developed BIP after 2 cycles of ABVD (Adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) and 4 cycles of BAECOPP (bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone), whose respiratory failure impaired despite corticosteroid therapy, but was successfully treated with nintedanib.

Abstract
Bleomycin is a chemotherapy agent that, when administered systemically, can cause severe pulmonary toxicity. Bleosome is a novel formulation of bleomycin encapsulated in ultra-deformable (UD) liposomes that may be applicable as a topical chemotherapy for diseases such as non-melanoma skin cancer. To date, the ability of Bleosome to effectively penetrate through the skin has not been evaluated. In this study, we investigated the ability of Bleosome to penetrate through ex vivo skin explants from dogs and horses. We visualized the penetration of UD liposomes through the skin by transmission electron microscopy. However, to effectively image the drug itself we fluorescently labeled bleomycin prior to encapsulation within liposomes and utilized multiphoton microscopy. We showed that UD liposomes do not penetrate beyond the stratum corneum, whereas bleomycin is released from UD liposomes and can penetrate to the deeper layers of the epidermis. This is the first study to show that Bleosome can effectively penetrate through the skin. We speculate that UD liposomes are penetration enhancers in that UD liposomes carry bleomycin through the outer skin to the stratum corneum and then release the drug, allowing diffusion into the deeper layers. Our results are comparative in dogs and horses and warrant further studies on the efficacy of Bleosome as topical treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
The insertion of a molecule between the bases of DNA is known as intercalation. A molecule is able to interact with DNA in different ways. DNA intercalators are generally aromatic, planar, and polycyclic. In chemotherapeutic treatment, to suppress DNA replication in cancer cells, intercalators are used. In this article, we discuss the anticancer activity of 10 intensively studied DNA intercalators as drugs. The list includes proflavine, ethidium bromide, doxorubicin, dactinomycin, bleomycin, epirubicin, mitoxantrone, ellipticine, elinafide, and echinomycin. Considerable structural diversities are seen in these molecules. Besides, some examples of the metallo-intercalators are presented at the end of the chapter. These molecules have other crucial properties that are also useful in the treatment of cancers. The successes and limitations of these molecules are also presented.

Abstract
The absence of in vitro platforms for human pulmonary toxicology studies is becoming an increasingly serious concern. The respiratory system has a dynamic mechanical structure that extends from the airways to the alveolar region. In addition, the epithelial, endothelial, stromal, and immune cells are highly organized in each region and interact with each other to function synergistically. These cells of varied lineage, particularly epithelial cells, have been difficult to use for long-term culture in vitro, thus limiting the development of useful experimental tools. This limitation has set a large distance between the bench and the bedside for analyzing the pathogenic mechanisms, the efficacy of candidate therapeutic agents, and the toxicity of compounds. Several researchers have proposed solutions to these problems by reporting on methods for generating human lung epithelial cells derived from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). Moreover, the use of organoid culture, organ-on-a-chip, and material-based techniques have enabled the maintenance of functional PSC-derived lung epithelial cells as well as primary cells. The aforementioned technological advances have facilitated the in vitro recapitulation of genetic lung diseases and the detection of ameliorating or worsening effects of genetic and chemical interventions, thus indicating the future possibility of more sophisticated preclinical compound assessments in vitro. In this review, we will update the recent advances in lung cell culture methods, principally focusing on human PSC-derived lung epithelial organoid culture systems with the hope of their future application in toxicology studies.

Abstract
Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) was measured in a phase I single ascending dose study after inhalation of AZD8154 or placebo in healthy participants at baseline (DLCOBaseline) and follow-up (DLCOFollow-up) 6 days after dosing. Initially, DLCOFollow-up timepoint was 2 h earlier than the DLCOBaseline timepoint and clinically significant decreases in DLCOFollow-up (absolute change up to 19% from baseline and DLCO%predicted values less than 70) were observed then. The observed reduction in DLCOFollow-up was confirmed as a false positive finding after alignment of DLCO timings. As a consequence, when DLCO is used in clinical studies, measurements should be strictly standardized in relation to time of the day.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease with limited treatment options. Despite endothelial cells (ECs) comprising 30% of the lung cellular composition, the role of EC dysfunction in pulmonary fibrosis (PF) remains unclear. We hypothesize that sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of PF via EC phenotypic modifications. Transcriptome data demonstrate that SREBP2 overexpression in ECs led to the induction of the TGF, Wnt, and cytoskeleton remodeling gene ontology pathways and the increased expression of mesenchymal genes, such as snail family transcriptional repressor 1 (snai1), α-smooth muscle actin, vimentin, and neural cadherin. Furthermore, SREBP2 directly bound to the promoter regions and transactivated these mesenchymal genes. This transcriptomic change was associated with an epigenetic and phenotypic switch in ECs, leading to increased proliferation, stress fiber formation, and ECM deposition. Mice with endothelial-specific transgenic overexpression of SREBP2 (EC-SREBP2[N]-Tg mice) that were administered bleomycin to induce PF demonstrated exacerbated vascular remodeling and increased mesenchymal transition in the lung. SREBP2 was also found to be markedly increased in lung specimens from patients with IPF. These results suggest that SREBP2, induced by lung injury, can exacerbate PF in rodent models and in human patients with IPF.
