Changes in immune subsets during chemotherapy as prognosis biomarkers for multiple myeloma patients by longitudinal monitoring. Immunol Res 2024:10.1007/s12026-024-09521-5.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy of plasma cells accompanied by immune dysfunction. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive and dynamic characterization of the peripheral immune environment in MM patients and find its diagnostic and prognostic values for therapy. The peripheral immune profiles of MM inpatients and healthy controls were assessed by flow cytometry. A longitudinal study of immune subsets was observed during cycles of chemotherapy. The diagnostic and prognostic models were established based on immune subsets by the absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and multivariate regression. MM patients possessed an impeded immune landscape, including reduced activation of B cells, increased effective T cells and regulatory T cells (Tregs), augmented CD16 expression on monocytes and dendritic cell percentages, decreased CD56dimCD16+ natural killer cells (NKs), and amplified CD56bright and HLA-DR+ natural killer T cells (NKTs). Chemotherapy has different dynamic effects on specific cells, of which 2 cycles is the key turning point. NKT, dendritic cells, naïve Tc and Th cells, HLA-DR+ Tc cells, CD56dim NKTs, CD16++ monocytes, and CD25+ B cells could have the diagnostic value, and a prognostic model including neutrophils, naïve Tc cells, CD56brightCD16dim NKs, and CD16+ dendritic cells was established with acceptable accuracy. Our data showed dynamic and abnormal peripheral immune profiles in MM patients, which had prognostic values and could provide the basis for clinical therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the distribution of bone marrow immune cell subsets and their correlation with treatment efficacy in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). METHODS We analyzed the bone marrow lymphocyte subsets of 186 newly diagnosed MM patients at diagnosis and their correlation with clinical characteristics. In our study, eight-color flow cytometry, a method commonly used to detect plasma cell phenotypes, was used to analyze seven bone marrow immune cell groups by change gate-strategy. RESULTS First, for all the 7 immune cell groups, the percentage of immature B cells was significantly lower in stage III patients than in stage I patients, while the trend was reversed in memory B cells in both the International Staging System(p = 0.004) and Revised International Staging System(p = 0.018). Second, the percentage of naïve B cells were significantly lower in patients with severe anemia, while the percentage of memory B cells had reversed trend. The percentage of immature B cells were lower in patients with Cr ≥ 2 mg/dL than in patients with Cr < 2 mg/dL. Then we followed the treatment efficacy of 152 patients who received four cycles of induction therapy (bortezomib + dexamethasone or bortezomib + lenalidomide + dexamethasone) and analyzed the relationship between bone marrow lymphocyte subsets at the initial stage and treatment response datasets. We found that both the percentage of B cells(p<0.001) and immature B(p = 0.002) were increased in patients who achieved very good partial remission(VGPR) after four cycles of induction therapy. The ROC results indicated the combination of the multiple immune subgroups had predictive values (AUC = 0.802, p<0.001) in the treatment effect after four cycles of induction therapy. CONCLUSIONS Overall, these results suggest that the analysis of lymphocyte subsets along with plasma cell immunophenotyping could be a potential index for determining the prognosis of MM patients.

SRRM2 may be a potential biomarker and immunotherapy target for multiple myeloma: a real-world study based on flow cytometry detection. Clin Exp Med 2024; 24:28.

Abstract
Serine/arginine repetitive matrix 2 (SRRM2) has been implicated in tumorigenesis, cancer development, and drug resistance through aberrant splicing; however, its correlation with multiple myeloma (MM) has not been reported. We investigated the potential of SRRM2 as a biomarker and immunotherapeutic target in MM by examining its expression in MM cells using flow cytometry. Our study included 95 patients with plasma cell disease, including 80 MM cases, and we detected SRRM2 expression on plasma cells and normal blood cells to analyze its relationship with clinical profiles. We found widespread positive expression of SRRM2 on plasma cells with little expression on normal blood cells, and its expression on abnormal plasma cells was higher than that on normal plasma cells. Comparative analysis with clinical data suggests that SRRM2 expression on plasma cells correlates with MM treatment response. MM patients with high SRRM2 expression had higher levels of serum β2-mg and LDH, ISS staging, and plasma cell infiltration, as well as high-risk mSMART 3.0 stratification and cytogenetic abnormalities, particularly 1q21 amplification. In patients with previous MM, high SRRM2 expression on plasma cells was associated with higher plasma cell infiltration, high-risk mSMART 3.0 risk stratification, cytogenetic abnormalities, more relapses, and fewer autologous stem cell transplant treatments. In summary, SRRM2 may serve as a novel biomarker and immunotherapeutic target for MM. Its expression level on plasma cells can help in risk stratification of MM and monitoring of treatment response.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a highly heterogeneous and incurable disease. Inflammation plays a vital role in cancer genesis and progression. However, the relationship between inflammatory response-related genes (IRRGs) and the prognosis of MM patients remains unknown. We constructed a IRRGs prognosis model by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis. Moreover, clinical multivariate regression was performed to identify clinical implications. Gene set enrichment analysis was implemented to conduct its biological properties. CIBERSORT deconvolution algorithm was utilized to calculate the immune cell infiltration in different risk groups. The flow cytometry was utilized to perform protein expression of prognostic gene. A Six-IRRGs (VCAM1, RGS1, KIT, CD81, BLNK, and BIRC3) prognostic risk model was successfully constructed and validated. The risk model was an independent predictor for overall survival. Enrichment analysis revealed autophagy and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways were enriched in the high-risk group. Furthermore, we found CD81 widely impacted on the infiltration of immune cells, especially on monocytes and macrophages2. At last, the role of CD81 in MM was confirmed to be an adverse prognostic factor in clinical. Our study explores the potential application value of IRRGs in MM. These findings may provide new insights into the treatment for MM patients.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that metabolites play an important role in phenotypic regulation. However, the causal relationship between metabolites and multiple myeloma has not been adequately investigated. Here, we attempt to explore the causal effects of genetically determined blood metabolites on multiple myeloma. The large-scale public blood metabolites and multiple myeloma datasets from independently published genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were used to explore the causal relationship between each genetically determined blood metabolite and multiple myeloma through inverse variance weighted (IVW), weighted median, MR-Egger and mode-based estimation methods. Sensitivity tests were performed to evaluate the stability and reliability of the results by MR-Egger regression and leave-one-out methods. Metabolic pathway analysis was further explored using filtered data. Statistical analyses were all performed in R. Among 452 metabolites, ten known metabolites and three unknown metabolites had significant causal relationship with multiple myeloma (P < 0.05). Four known metabolites, 3-methyl-2-oxovalenate, oxidized bilirubin, isovalerylcarnitine and glutamine carnitine, reached statistical significance in IVW models. Metabolic pathways analysis identified four significant pathways. The occurrence of multiple myeloma may have a causal relationship with these four metabolites, and there are four metabolic pathways that are also related to the occurrence of multiple myeloma. This can provide new ideas for exploring early screening and treatment of multiple myeloma.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a relapsing clonal plasma cell malignancy and incurable thus far. With the increasing understanding of myeloma, highlighting the critical importance of the immune system in the pathogenesis of MM is essential. The immune changes in MM patients after treatment are associated with prognosis. In this review, we summarize currently available MM therapies and discuss how they affect cellular immunity. We find that the modern anti-MM treatments enhance antitumour immune responses. A deeper understanding of the therapeutic activity of individual drugs offers more effective treatment approaches that enhance the beneficial immunomodulatory effects. Furthermore, we show that the immune changes after treatment in MM patients can provide useful prognostic marker. Analysing cellular immune responses offers new perspectives for evaluating clinical data and making comprehensive predictions for applying novel therapies in MM patients.

Abstract
The main obstacle of multiple myeloma (MM) therapy is the compromised immune microenvironment, which leads to MM relapses and extramedullary disease progression. In this study, a novel strategy is reported of enhanced immunogenic cell death (ICD) immunotherapy with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizer-loaded bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoparticles (referred as BSA/TPA-Erdn), which can activate T cells, convert the cold tumor to hot, and reverse T cell senescence to restore the immune microenvironment for MM treatment. Loading AIE photosensitizer into the hydrophobic domain of BSA proteins significantly immobilizes the molecular geometry, which massively increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and elicits a promising ICD immune response. Employing a NOD-SCID IL-2receptor gamma null mice model with MM patients' monocytes, it is shown that BSA/TPA-Erdn can simulate human dentric cell maturation, activate functional T lymphocytes, and increase additional polarization and differentiation signals to deliver a promising immunotherapy performance. Intriguingly, for the first time, it is shown that BSA/TPA-Erdn can greatly reverse T cell senescence, a main challenge in treating MM. Additionally, BSA/TPA-Erdn can effectively recruit more functional T lymphocytes into MM tumor. As a consequence, BSA/TPA-Erdn restores MM immune microenvironment and shows the best MM tumor eradication performance, which shall pave new insights for MM treatment in clinical practices.

Abstract
Hematologic malignancies are a diverse collection of cancers that affect the blood, bone marrow, and organs. They have a very unpredictable prognosis and recur after treatment. Leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma are the most prevalent symptoms. Despite advancements in chemotherapy and supportive care, the incidence rate and mortality of patients with hematological malignancies remain high. Additionally, there are issues with the clinical diagnosis because several hematological malignancies lack defined, systematic diagnostic criteria. This work provided an overview of the fundamentals, benefits, and limitations of Raman spectroscopy and its use in hematological cancers. The alterations of trace substances can be recognized using Raman spectroscopy. High sensitivity, non-destructive, quick, real-time, and other attributes define it. Clinicians must promptly identify disorders and keep track of analytes in biological fluids. For instance, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is employed in diagnosing gene mutations in myelodysplastic syndromes due to its high sensitivity and multiple detection benefits. Serum indicators for multiple myeloma have been routinely used for detection. The simultaneous observation of DNA strand modifications and the production of new molecular bonds by tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is of tremendous significance for diagnosing lymphoma and multiple myeloma with unidentified diagnostic criteria.

Prognostic value of prelymphodepletion absolute lymphocyte counts in relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients treated with chimeric antigen receptor T cells. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1155216. [PMID: 37205117 PMCID: PMC10185822 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1155216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has achieved unprecedented efficacy recently. However, the factors related to responses and durable remission are elusive. This study was to investigate the impact of pre-lymphodepletion (pre-LD) absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) on CAR T cell therapy outcomes. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of 84 patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) who underwent CAR T cell treatment at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University between March 1,2016 and December 31, 2021. The enrolled patients were divided into high group and low group according to the optimal cutoff value of pre-LD ALC. The Kaplan-Meier analyses was used to calculate survival curves. The Cox proportional hazards model was used for univariate and multivariate analysis to assess the prognostic factors. Results The ROC showed that the optimal cutoff value of pre-LD ALC was 1.05 x 109/L. The overall response (defined as partial response or complete response) rate was significantly higher in patients with a high pre-LD ALC (75% versus 52.08%; P=0.032). Patients with a low pre-LD ALC had significantly inferior overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) compared with those having a high pre-LD ALC (median OS, 9.6 months versus 45.17 months [P=0.008]; median PFS, 4.07 months versus 45.17 months [P= 0.030]). Meanwhile, low pre-LD ALC is an independent risk factor for PFS and OS. Discussion The data suggested that pre-LD ALC may serve as a helpful indicator to predict the outcomes of CAR T cell therapy in patients with R/R DLBCL.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: PIM2 kinase play a vital role in the generation of plasma cell and bone loss in multiple myeloma(MM), which highly related to the tumor progression and as a potential therapy target in MM. In immune cell,PIM2 kinase involved in the regulation of lymphocyte like T cell and B cell, However, its role in NK cells remains unclear.
Methods: Single-cell RNA sequencing data were analysed the expression of PIM2 kinase in NK cells from MM patients and healthy donors.Immune checkpoint expression, cell apoptosis, and NK cell function had been evaluated through flow cytometry.Then, NCBI, UCSC, JASPAR and GEPIA database were used to predict promoter of TIGIT.NK-92 cells with ETS-1 knockdown were established by using sh-RNA. Kinase functional assay (ADP-Glo) were used to confirm PIM2 inhibitor from 160 kinds of natural flavonoids compound.Samples treated with or without drugs were analyzed using mass spectrometry and RNA-seq. The oxygen consumption rate (OCR), and the extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) were measured by assay kit.
Result: The PIM2 kinase was highly expressed in the NK cells from MM patients based on single-cell sequencing analysis and confirmed in clinical sample by PCR and flow cytometry.Inhibition of PIM2 kinase can increase the function of NK cells and down regulation TIGIT expression. Mechanism, we confirmed that ETS-1 which was directly binding to the promoter of TIGIT was up-regulated by PIM2 kinase, which can lead the strengthened transcription of TIGIT on NK cells.Furthermore, two novel natural flavonoids compound named Kaempferol and Quercetin dihydrate as PIM2 kinase inhibitors exhibiting higher efficiency at low dose in MM cells,while influence the expression of TIGIT and energy metabolism on NK-92 cells. For in vitro experiment,PIM2 kinase inhibitors can activate NK cell killing function and decrease TIGIT expression,while promoted the apoptosis of MM cells irrespective of adding BMSCs or not in co-culture systems BMSCs.
Conclusion: PIM2 kinase involved in the regulation of NK cell.Inhibiting PIM2 kinase could down-regulate the expression of TIGIT and improve energy metabolism to enhance NK cell anti myeloma cell.

Immunophenotypic Characteristics of Bone Marrow Microenvironment Cellular Composition at the Biochemical Progression of Multiple Myeloma. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11133722. [PMID: 35807007 PMCID: PMC9267252 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11133722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2022] [Revised: 06/23/2022] [Accepted: 06/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) relapses are inevitable in the majority of patients, and in addition to genetic changes in the MM clone, the immune profile of the bone marrow (BM) plays a key role in this process. Biochemical progression or relapse (BR) precedes clinical relapse in a significant proportion of patients with MM. In the present study, we used flow cytometry to assess the cellular composition of the BM microenvironment in MM patients with confirmed BR. Fifteen distinct cells subsets in the BM were evaluated with the panel of antibodies used routinely for MRD monitoring in MM in 52 patients with MM (MRD-negative n = 20, BR n = 20, and clinically relapsed MM, RMM n = 12). The median percentage of MM cells detected in BR patients was 0.90% versus not detectable in MRD-negative patients and of 3.0% in RMM cohort. Compared to the MRD-negative group, BR status was associated with an increase in the percentage of lymphoid subpopulations, including memory B cells (p = 0.003), CD27+T cells (p = 0.002), and NK/NKT cells (p < 0.001). Moreover, a decrease in B-cell precursors (p < 0.001) and neutrophils (p = 0.006) was observed. There were no significant differences in the composition of the BM cell subpopulations between the BR and RMM groups. Our results indicate the involvement of B-, T-, and NK cells in the process of losing immune surveillance over the MM clone that leads to relapse. It can be speculated that similar studies of a larger cohort of BR patients can potentially identify a group of patients for which an early treatment intervention would be beneficial.
