Abstract
Tumor immunosurveillance plays a major role in melanoma, prompting the development of immunotherapy strategies. The gut microbiota composition, influencing peripheral and tumoral immune tonus, earned its credentials among predictors of survival in melanoma. The MIND-DC phase III trial (NCT02993315) randomized (2:1 ratio) 148 patients with stage IIIB/C melanoma to adjuvant treatment with autologous natural dendritic cell (nDC) or placebo (PL). Overall, 144 patients collected serum and stool samples before and after 2 bimonthly injections to perform metabolomics (MB) and metagenomics (MG) as prespecified exploratory analysis. Clinical outcomes are reported separately. Here we show that different microbes were associated with prognosis, with the health-related Faecalibacterium prausnitzii standing out as the main beneficial taxon for no recurrence at 2 years (p = 0.008 at baseline, nDC arm). Therapy coincided with major MB perturbations (acylcarnitines, carboxylic and fatty acids). Despite randomization, nDC arm exhibited MG and MB bias at baseline: relative under-representation of F. prausnitzii, and perturbations of primary biliary acids (BA). F. prausnitzii anticorrelated with BA, medium- and long-chain acylcarnitines. Combined, these MG and MB biomarkers markedly determined prognosis. Altogether, the host-microbial interaction may play a role in localized melanoma. We value systematic MG and MB profiling in randomized trials to avoid baseline differences attributed to host-microbe interactions.

Abstract
719 Background: The LIPI score has been reported as an independent prognostic factor in RCC patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) or tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). Here, we aimed to correlate LIPI score and GM composition in patients with RCC. Methods: We prospectively collected fecal samples of all comers RCC patients who started a 1st or beyond line therapy (standard or clinical trial) in the NCT0457446 at Gustave Roussy. Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (dNLR) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were obtained from routine blood tests. Shot gun metagenomic sequencing (MGS) data were analyzed by multivariate and pair-wise/fold ratio . Clinical benefit ratio (CBR, complete response + partial response + stable disease, RECIST1.1) and overall survival (OS, from treatment start) were evaluated. Multivariate analysis (MVA) for OS included age, gender, therapy line, IMDC, histology, hypoalbuminemia. Results: From February 2016 to July 2021, 160 patients were screened and 102 were included. Median age was 61 years (22-89), patients were mostly males (75%) and clear cell histology (90%). Patients were treated in 1st (15%), 2nd (53%) and beyond (32%) lines. Treated with ICI monotherapy (65%), followed by TKI or mTOR (20%) and ICI combination (19%). IMDC was 32% good (G), 54% intermediate (I) and 14% poor (P) and LIPI was 69% G, 25% I and 6% P. Median OS was 42.9, 17.7 and 8.3 months in patients with LIPI G, I and P, respectively (p<0.0001) . Among IMDC risk groups, IMDC G + LIPI G had better OS compared to other subgroups (p=0.017), and those with IMDC P + LIPI P had the worse OS. Overall, LIPI G had higher rates of CBR than I+P LIPI (74% vs 50%; p=0.0158). At MVA, LIPI was independently associated with OS (HR 6.25, 2.02-24.34; p=0.0187). Overall, Parabacteroides merdae and Veillonella parvula were enriched in LIPI I+P, while LIPI G harbored Faecalibacterium prausnitzii. In patients treated with ICI monotherapy, LIPI I+P were enriched with Bacteroides spp ( P. merdae, Phocaeicola vulgatus), and LIPI G had an overrepresentation of Ruminococcaceae unclass bacterium. Conclusions: We report the first MGS study correlating LIPI score and GM composition in RCC patients. LIPI score correlates with clinical outcomes (OS and CBR) and helped to better-stratified IMDC risk groups. Patients LIPI G harbor health-related commensals, while I and P groups are associated with harmful ones. LIPI score could represent a clinically relevant score to stratify mRCC patients. Clinical trial information: NCT04567446 .

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plasmodium falciparum is the parasite responsible for most malaria cases globally. The risk of transfusion-transmitted malaria (TTM) is mitigated by donor deferrals and blood screening strategies, which adversely impact blood availability. Previous studies showed robust inactivation of P. falciparum using nucleic acid-targeting pathogen reduction technologies (PRT) for the treatment of plasma and platelet components or whole blood (WB). The efficacy of the amustaline-glutathione (GSH) PRT to inactivate P. falciparum is here evaluated in red blood cells (RBC), as well the impact of PRT on parasite loads, stages, and strains. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS RBC units resuspended in AS-1 or AS-5 additive solutions were spiked with ring stage-infected RBC and treated with the amustaline-GSH PRT. Parasite loads and viability were measured in samples at the time of contamination, and after treatment, using serial 10-fold dilutions of the samples in RBC cultures maintained for up to 4 weeks. RESULTS P. falciparum viability assays allow for the detection of very low levels of parasite. Initial parasite titer was >5.2 log10 /ml in AS-1/5 RBC. No infectious parasites were detected in amustaline-GSH-treated samples after 4 weeks of culture. Amustaline-GSH inactivated high parasite loads regardless of parasite stages and strains. Amustaline readily penetrates the parasite, irreversibly blocks development, and leads to parasite death and expulsion from RBC. DISCUSSION Amustaline-GSH PRT demonstrated robust efficacy to inactivate malaria parasites in RBC concentrates. This study completes the portfolio of studies demonstrating the efficacy of nucleic acid-targeting PRTs to mitigate TTM risks as previously reported for platelet concentrates, plasma, and WB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Risk of transfusion-transmitted (TT) malaria is mainly associated with whole blood (WB) or red blood cell (RBC) transfusion. Risk mitigation relies mostly on donor deferral while a limited number of countries perform blood testing, both negatively impacting blood availability. This study investigated the efficacy of the pathogen reduction system using amustaline and glutathione (GSH) to inactivate Plasmodium falciparum in WB. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS WB units were spiked with ring stage P. falciparum infected RBCs. Parasite loads were measured in samples at time of infection, after 24 hours at room temperature (RT), and after a 24-hour incubation at RT post-treatment with 0.2 mM amustaline and 2 mM GSH. Serial 10-fold dilutions of the samples were inoculated to RBC cultures and maintained up to 4 weeks. Parasitemia was quantified by cytometry. RESULTS The P. falciparum viability assay has a limit of detection of a single live parasite per sample. Input parasite titer was >5.7 log10 TCID50 per mL. A 24-hour incubation at RT paused parasite development in controls, but they retained viability and infectivity when tested in culture. In contrast, no infectious parasites were detected in the amustaline/GSH-treated sample after 4 weeks of culture. CONCLUSION A robust level of P. falciparum inactivation was achieved in WB using amustaline/GSH treatment. Parasite log reduction was >5.7 log10 TCID50 per mL. Development of such a pathogen reduction system may provide an opportunity to reduce the risk of TT malaria and improve blood availability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Abnormal temperatures are a major issue for vaccines within the Expanded Program of Immunization in tropical climates. Prolonged exposure to temperatures outside the standard +2 °C/+8 °C range can impact vaccine potency. METHODS The current study used automatic temperature recording devices (Testostore 171-1©) to monitor cold chain in remote areas of Western Burkina Faso. A series of 25 randomly selected health centers representing 33% of the existing 176 EPI facilities in Western Burkina Faso were prospectively assessed for eight months in 2015. Automatic measurements were compared to routine temperature loggers and vaccine vial monitors (VVM). RESULTS The median age for all refrigerators was 9 years with 10/25 (42%) older than 10 years. Adverse temperatures were recorded in 20/24 (83%) refrigerators and ranged from -18.5 °C to +34.2 °C with 12,958/128,905 (10%) abnormal hourly records below +2 °C and 7357/128,905 (5.7%) above +8 °C. Time of day significantly affected the rate of temperature excursions, with higher rates from 00 am to 06 am (p < 0.001) for low temperatures and 10-12 am (p < 0.001) and 13-16 pm (p < 0.001) for high temperatures. Abnormal temperatures lasted from 1 h to 24 h below +2 °C and 13-24 h above +8 °C. Standard manual registers reported only 182/2761 (7%) inadequate temperatures and VVM color change detected only 133/2465 (5%) disruptions. Reliability of the refrigerators ranged from 48% to 98.7% with a median of 70%. Risk factors for excursions were old age of the refrigerators, the months of April and May, hours of high activity during the day, and health staff-associated factors such as inappropriate actions or insufficient knowledge. CONCLUSION Important cold chain reliability issues reported in the current study in Western Burkina Faso raise concern about vaccine potency. In the absence of systematic renewal of the cold chain infrastructure or improved staff training and monitoring, antibody response assessment is recommended to study levels of effective immunization coverage.

Abstract
Giardiasis, currently considered a neglected disease, is caused by the intestinal protozoan parasite Giardia duodenalis and is widely spread in human as well as domestic and wild animals. The lack of appropriate medications and the spread of resistant parasite strains urgently call for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Host microbiota or certain probiotic strains have the capacity to provide some protection against giardiasis. By combining biological and biochemical approaches, we have been able to decipher a molecular mechanism used by the probiotic strain Lactobacillus johnsonii La1 to prevent Giardia growth in vitro. We provide evidence that the supernatant of this strain contains active principle(s) not directly toxic to Giardia but able to convert non-toxic components of bile into components highly toxic to Giardia. By using bile acid profiling, these components were identified as deconjugated bile-salts. A bacterial bile-salt-hydrolase of commercial origin was able to mimic the properties of the supernatant. Mass spectrometric analysis of the bacterial supernatant identified two of the three bile-salt-hydrolases encoded in the genome of this probiotic strain. These observations document a possible mechanism by which L. johnsonii La1, by secreting, or releasing BSH-like activity(ies) in the vicinity of replicating Giardia in an environment where bile is present and abundant, can fight this parasite. This discovery has both fundamental and applied outcomes to fight giardiasis, based on local delivery of deconjugated bile salts, enzyme deconjugation of bile components, or natural or recombinant probiotic strains that secrete or release such deconjugating activities in a compartment where both bile salts and Giardia are present.

Abstract
Background The Plasmodium falciparum PfA-M1 aminopeptidase, encoded by a single copy gene, displays a neutral optimal activity at pH 7.4. It is thought to be involved in haemoglobin degradation and/or invasion of the host cells. Although a series of inhibitors developed against PfA-M1 suggest that this enzyme is a promising target for therapeutic intervention, the biological function(s) of the three different forms of the enzyme (p120, p96 and p68) are not fully understood. Two recent studies using PfA-M1 transfections have also provided conflicting results on PfA-M1 localization within or outside the food vacuole. Alternative destinations, such as the nucleus, have also been proposed. Methods By using a combination of techniques, such as cellular and biochemical fractionations, biochemical analysis, mass-spectrometry, immunofluorescence assays and live imaging of GFP fusions to various PfA-M1 domains, evidence is provided for differential localization and behaviour of the three different forms of PfA-M1 in the infected red blood cell which had not been established before. Results The high molecular weight p120 form of PfA-M1, the only version of the protein with a hydrophobic transmembrane domain, is detected both inside the parasite and in the parasitophorous vacuole while the processed p68 form is strictly soluble and localized within the parasite. The transient intermediate and soluble p96 form is localized at the border of parasitophorous vacuole and within the parasite in a compartment sensitive to high concentrations of saponin. Upon treatment with brefeldin A, the PfA-M1 maturation is blocked and the enzyme remains in a compartment close to the nucleus. Conclusions The PfA-M1 trafficking/maturation scenario that emerges from this data indicates that PfA-M1, synthesized as the precursor p120 form, is targeted to the parasitophorous vacuole via the parasite endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi, where it is converted into the transient p96 form. This p96 form is eventually redirected into the parasite to be converted into the processed p68 form that is only marginally delivered to the parasite food vacuole. These results provide insights on PfA-M1 topology regarding key compartments of the infected red blood cells that have important implications for the development of inhibitors targeting this plasmodial enzyme.
