Aggrephagy-related patterns in tumor microenvironment, prognosis, and immunotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia: a comprehensive single-cell RNA sequencing analysis. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1195392.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a complex mixed entity composed of malignant tumor cells, immune cells and stromal cells, with intra-tumor and inter-tumor heterogeneity. Single-cell RNA sequencing enables a comprehensive study of the highly complex tumor microenvironment, which is conducive to exploring the evolutionary trajectory of tumor cells. Herein, we carried out comprehensive analyses of aggrephagy-related cell clusters based on single-cell sequencing for patients with acute myeloid leukemia. A total of 11 specific cell types (T, NK, CMP, Myeloid, GMP, MEP, Promono, Plasma, HSC, B, and Erythroid cells) using t-SNE dimension reduction analysis. Several aggrephagy-related genes were highly expressed in the 11 specific cell types. Using Monocle analysis and NMF clustering analysis, six aggrephagy-related CD8+ T clusters, six aggrephagy-related NK clusters, and six aggrephagy-related Mac clusters were identified. We also evaluated the ligand-receptor links and Cell-cell communication using CellChat package and CellChatDB database. Furthermore, the transcription factors (TFs) of aggrephagy-mediated cell clusters for AML were assessed through pySCENIC package. Prognostic analysis of the aggrephagy-related cell clusters based on R package revealed the differences in prognosis of aggrephagy-mediated cell clusters. Immunotherapy of the aggrephagy-related cell clusters was investigated using TIDE algorithm and public immunotherapy cohorts. Our study revealed the significance of aggrephagy-related patterns in tumor microenvironment, prognosis, and immunotherapy for AML.

Effects of B-Cell Lymphoma on the Immune System and Immune Recovery after Treatment: The Paradigm of Targeted Therapy. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23063368. [PMID: 35328789 PMCID: PMC8952275 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23063368] [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: 02/14/2022] [Revised: 03/07/2022] [Accepted: 03/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
B-cell lymphoma and lymphoproliferative diseases represent a heterogeneous and complex group of neoplasms that are accompanied by a broad range of immune regulatory disorder phenotypes. Clinical features of autoimmunity, hyperinflammation, immunodeficiency and infection can variously dominate, depending on the immune pathway most involved. Immunological imbalance can play a role in lymphomagenesis, also supporting the progression of the disease, while on the other hand, lymphoma acts on the immune system to weaken immunosurveillance and facilitate immunoevasion. Therefore, the modulation of immunity can have a profound effect on disease progression or resolution, which makes the immune system a critical target for new therapies. In the current therapeutic scenario enriched by chemo-free regimens, it is important to establish the effect of various drugs on the disease, as well as on the restoration of immune functions. In fact, treatment of B-cell lymphoma with passive immunotherapy that targets tumor cells or targets the tumor microenvironment, together with adoptive immunotherapy, is becoming more frequent. The aim of this review is to report relevant data on the evolution of the immune system during and after treatment with targeted therapy of B-cell lymphomas.
