Abstract
Studies regarding the influence of body composition parameters as predictors on overall survival (OS) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) are scarce. OS and progression-free survival (PFS) were retrospectively assessed in 129 patients with MM undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) after a follow-up of 2 years. A computed tomography (CT) based semi-automated assessment of body composition was performed. No statistically significant differences were noted in 2-year OS, PFS, or post-transplant adverse events in the body composition groups of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) (low vs. high-SAT), visceral adipose tissue (VAT) (low vs. high-VAT), visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio (VSR) (low vs. high VSR), and sarcopenia in terms of skeletal muscle index (SMI) (non-sarcopenic vs. sarcopenic). In conclusion, adipose and muscle tissue do not limit OS or affect the PFS in patients with MM undergoing ASCT.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a life-threatening hematologic malignant disease with high morbidity and mortality in both adults and children. Cuproptosis, a novel mode of cell death, plays an important role in tumor development, but the functional mechanisms of cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) in AML are unclear. The differential expression of CRGs between tumors such as AML and normal tissues in UCSC XENA, TCGA and GTEx was verified using R (version: 3.6.3). Lasso regression, Cox regression and Nomogram were used to screen for prognostic biomarkers of AML and to construct corresponding prognostic models. Kaplan-Meier analysis, ROC analysis, clinical correlation analysis, immune infiltration analysis and enrichment analysis were used to further investigate the correlation and functional mechanisms of CRGs with AML. The ceRNA regulatory network was used to identify the mRNA-miRNA-lncRNA regulatory axis. Cuproptosis-related genes LIPT1, MTF1, GLS and CDKN2A were highly expressed in AML, while FDX1, LIAS, DLD, DLAT, PDHA1, SLC31A1 and ATP7B were lowly expressed in AML. Lasso regression, Cox regression, Nomogram and calibration curve finally identified MTF1 and LIPT1 as two novel prognostic biomarkers of AML and constructed the corresponding prognostic models. In addition, all 12 CRGs had predictive power for AML, with MTF1, LIAS, SLC31A1 and CDKN2A showing more reliable results. Further analysis showed that ATP7B was closely associated with mutation types such as FLT3, NPM1, RAS and IDH1 R140 in AML, while the expression of MTF1, LIAS and ATP7B in AML was closely associated with immune infiltration. Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) revealed that biological functions such as metal ion transmembrane transporter activity, haptoglobin binding and oxygen carrier activity, pathways such as interferon alpha response, coagulation, UV response DN, apoptosis, hypoxia and heme metabolism all play a role in the development of AML. The ceRNA regulatory network revealed that 6 lncRNAs such as MALAT1, interfere with MTF1 expression through 6 miRNAs such as hsa-miR-32-5p, which in turn affect the development and progression of AML. In addition, APTO-253 has the potential to become an AML-targeted drug. The cuproptosis-related genes MTF1 and LIPT1 can be used as prognostic biomarkers in AML. A total of six lncRNAs, including MALAT1, are involved in the expression and regulation of MTF1 in AML through six miRNAs such as hsa-miR-32-5p.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the second most common type of pediatric leukemia. Patients with AML are at high risk for several complications such as infections, typhlitis, and acute and long-term cardiotoxicity. Despite this knowledge, there are no definite supportive care guidelines as to what the best approach is to manage or prevent these complications. AREA COVERED The NOPHO-DB-SHIP (Nordic-Dutch-Belgian-Spain-Hong-Kong-Israel-Portugal) consortium, in preparation for a new trial in pediatric AML patients, had dedicated meetings for supportive care. In this review, the authors discuss the available data and outline recommendations for the management of children and adolescents with AML with an emphasis on hyperleukocytosis, tumor lysis syndrome, coagulation abnormalities and bleeding, infection, typhlitis, malnutrition, cardiotoxicity, and fertility preservation. EXPERT OPINION Improved supportive care has significantly contributed to increased cure rates. Recommendations on supportive care are an essential part of treatment for this highly susceptible population and will further improve their outcome.

Abstract
Acute leukemia (AL) is a hematological malignancy with high morbidity and mortality that is caused by abnormal hematopoietic stem cells. AL can change the parameters, quality, and function of platelets through numerous mechanisms, resulting in bleeding and even death in AL patients. Hence, AL patients are often clinically treated using normal platelet transfusion. However, studies have found that platelets can also affect AL cells. This review discusses the changes occurring in platelet count, mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width, reticulated platelets, platelet membrane glycoprotein, platelet aggregation, and activation in AL patients, the causes of these changes, and the possible significance of these changes for patient prognosis. The effects of platelets on the proliferation and drug resistance of AL cells are also discussed.

[PMID: 35501722 PMCID: PMC9059911 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-022-09601-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2022] [Accepted: 04/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Platelet counts varied over time after induction chemotherapy. We aimed to investigate the different trajectories of platelet counts after the first cycle of induction chemotherapy in patients newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Methods and results In total, 149 individuals were included in this study. We identified four distinct trajectories using a group-based trajectory model: low- stability group (n = 27, 18.12%), low-level decrease–medium elevation group (n = 42, 28.19%), low-level decrease–high elevation group (n = 60, 40.27%), and high-level decrease–medium elevation group (n = 20, 13.42%). The baseline characteristics of the high-level decrease–medium elevation group included higher platelet count, lower white blood cell count, lower percentage of bone marrow blasts, and lower rates of complete remission after the first cycle of induction chemotherapy. Compared with the low-stability group, the hazard ratios were 0.32 (95% confidence interval, 0.15–0.68) for the low-level decrease–medium elevation group, 0.31 (95% confidence interval, 0.15–0.63) for the low-level decrease–high elevation group, and 0.35 (95% confidence interval, 0.13–0.89) for the high-level decrease–medium elevation group after adjustment for age and gender by Cox proportional hazard regression. Compared with the low-stability group, the hazard ratios were 0.33 (95% confidence interval, 0.14–0.77) for the low-level decrease–medium elevation group and 0.31 (95% confidence interval, 0.14–0.67) for the low-level decrease–high elevation group after adjustment for age, gender, white blood cell count, and bone marrow blasts. These associations persisted after adjusting for age, gender, white blood cell count, bone marrow blasts, and platelet count. Conclusion The dynamic trajectory of platelet counts after the first cycle of induction chemotherapy is a significant predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Timely intervention should be considered for the low-stability group. The low-level decrease–medium elevation and low-level decrease-high elevation groups were independent protective factors for all-cause mortality.

Front Med 2021; 15:608-620.

Abstract
t(8;21)(q22;q22) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly heterogeneous hematological malignancy with a high relapse rate in China. Two leukemic myeloblast populations (CD34+CD117dim and CD34+CD117bri) were previously identified in t(8;21) AML, and CD34+CD117dim cell proportion was determined as an independent factor for this disease outcome. Here, we examined the impact of CD34+CD117dim/CD34+CD117bri myeloblast-associated gene expression on t(8;21) AML clinical prognosis. In this study, 85 patients with t(8;21) AML were enrolled. The mRNA expression levels of CD34+CD117dim-associated genes (LGALS1, EMP3, and CRIP1) and CD34+CD117bri-associated genes (TRH, PLAC8, and IGLL1) were measured using quantitative reverse transcription PCR. Associations between gene expression and clinical outcomes were determined using Cox regression models. Results showed that patients with high LGALS1, EMP3, or CRIP1 expression had significantly inferior overall survival (OS), whereas those with high TRH or PLAC8 expression showed relatively favorable prognosis. Univariate analysis revealed that CD19, CD34+CD117dim proportion, KIT mutation, minimal residual disease (MRD), and expression levels of LGALS1, EMP3, CRIP1, TRH and PLAC8 were associated with OS. Multivariate analysis indicated that KIT mutation, MRD and CRIP1 and TRH expression levels were independent prognostic variables for OS. Identifying the clinical relevance of CD34+CD117dim/CD34+CD117bri myeloblast-associated gene expression may provide new clinically prognostic markers for t(8;21) AML.
