Background: Pulmonary fibrosis is a challenging clinical problem with lung pathology featuring immune cell infiltrates, fibroblast expansion, and matrix deposition. Molecular analysis of diseased lungs and preclinical models have uncovered C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2)+ monocyte egress from the bone marrow into the lung, where they acquire profibrotic activities. Current drug treatment is focused on fibroblast activity. Alternatively, therapeutic targeting and monitoring CCR2+ cells may be an effective patient management strategy.

Methods: Inhibition of CCR2+ cells and, as a benchmark, the clinical antifibrotic agent, nintedanib, were used in mouse lung fibrosis models. Lungs were evaluated directly for CCR2+ cell infiltration and by non-invasive CCR2+ positron emission tomography imaging (CCR2-PET).

Findings: Lung CCR2+ cells were significantly elevated in the bleomycin model as determined by tissue evaluation and CCR2-PET imaging. A protective treatment protocol with an oral CCR2 inhibitor was compared to oral nintedanib. While we expected disparate effects on CCR2+ cells, each drug similarly decreased lung CCR2+ cells and fibrosis. Chemotaxis assays showed nintedanib indirectly inhibited C-C motif chemokine 2 (CCL2)-mediated migration of CCR2+ cells. Even delayed therapeutic administration of nintedanib in bleomycin and the silicosis progressive fibrosis models decreased the accumulation of CCR2+ lung cells. In these treatments early CCR2-PET imaging predicted the later development of fibrosis.

Interpretation: The inhibition of CCR2+ cell egress is likely a critical controller for stabilising lung fibrosis, as provided by nintedanib. Imaging with CCR2-PET may be useful to monitor nintedanib treatment responses, guide decision-making in the treatment of patients with progressive pulmonary fibrosis, and as a biomarker for drug development.

背景:肺纤维化是一个具有挑战性的临床问题,其肺部病理特征是免疫细胞浸润、成纤维细胞扩张和基质沉积。对患病肺部和临床前模型的分子分析发现,C-C 趋化因子受体 2 型(CCR2)+ 单核细胞从骨髓进入肺部,并在肺部获得促纤维化活性。目前的药物治疗主要针对成纤维细胞的活性。另外,针对 CCR2+ 细胞的治疗和监测可能是一种有效的患者管理策略:方法:在小鼠肺纤维化模型中使用 CCR2+ 细胞抑制剂和临床抗纤维化药物宁替达尼(nintedanib)作为基准。直接评估肺部CCR2+细胞浸润情况,并通过无创CCR2+正电子发射断层扫描成像(CCR2-PET)进行评估:通过组织评估和CCR2-PET成像确定,博莱霉素模型中肺CCR2+细胞明显升高。我们将口服 CCR2 抑制剂的保护性治疗方案与口服宁替达尼进行了比较。虽然我们预计两种药物对CCR2+细胞的影响不同,但每种药物都同样减少了肺部CCR2+细胞和纤维化。趋化试验显示,宁替达尼间接抑制了C-C趋化因子2(CCL2)介导的CCR2+细胞迁移。即使在博莱霉素和矽肺进行性纤维化模型中延迟服用宁替达尼,也能减少CCR2+肺细胞的聚集。在这些治疗中,早期的CCR2-PET成像可预测后期纤维化的发展:正如宁替达尼(nintedanib)所提供的那样,抑制CCR2+细胞出口可能是稳定肺纤维化的关键控制因素。CCR2-PET成像可用于监测宁替达尼的治疗反应,指导进行性肺纤维化患者的治疗决策,并可作为药物开发的生物标记物:美国国立卫生研究院(NIH),R01HL131908(SLB),R35HL145212(YL),P41EB025815(YL),K01DK133670(DHK);巴恩斯犹太医院基金会(SLB)。

Background: Despite successes in multiple sclerosis (MS) drug development, the effectiveness of animal studies in predicting successful bench-to-bedside translation is uncertain. Our goal was to identify predictors of successful animal-to-human translation for MS by systematically comparing animal studies of approved disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) with those that failed in clinical trials due to efficacy or safety concerns.

Methods: Systematic review of animal studies testing MS DMTs, identified from searches in PubMed and EMBASE. A random effect meta-analysis was fitted to the data to compare outcome effect sizes for approved versus failed DMTs. Effect sizes and testing under diverse experimental conditions were assessed as potential predictors for successful translation.

Findings: We included 497 animal studies, covering 15 approved and 11 failed DMTs, tested in approximately 30'000 animals. DMTs were tested in a small repertoire of experimental parameters: about 86% of studies used experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), 80% used mice, and 76% used female animals. There was no association between animal study outcomes or testing DMTs under varied conditions (e.g., different laboratories or models) and successful approval. Surprisingly, 91% of animal studies were published after first-in-MS trial and 91% after official regulatory approval.

Interpretation: Our findings emphasize the complexity in carrying drugs from animals to clinical practice. Specific challenges include limited experimental methods in animal research and a disconnect between preclinical and clinical research. We advocate for efforts to streamline drug development for MS to improve animal research's relevance for patients.

背景:尽管在多发性硬化症(MS)药物开发方面取得了成功,但动物实验在预测从临床试验到临床试验的成功转化方面的有效性还不确定。我们的目标是通过系统比较已获批准的疾病改变疗法(DMTs)的动物实验研究与因疗效或安全性问题而在临床试验中失败的动物实验研究,找出多发性硬化症动物实验成功转化为人体实验的预测因素:方法:系统回顾从 PubMed 和 EMBASE 搜索到的测试多发性硬化症 DMTs 的动物研究。对数据进行随机效应荟萃分析,以比较获批与失败的 DMTs 的结果效应大小。研究还评估了效应大小和不同实验条件下的测试情况,以此作为成功转化的潜在预测因素:我们纳入了 497 项动物研究,涉及 15 种获得批准的 DMT 和 11 种失败的 DMT,在约 30,000 只动物中进行了测试。DMTs的实验参数范围较小:约86%的研究使用了实验性自身免疫性脑脊髓炎(EAE),80%的研究使用了小鼠,76%的研究使用了雌性动物。动物研究结果或在不同条件下(如不同实验室或模型)测试 DMT 与成功获批之间没有关联。令人惊讶的是,91%的动物研究是在首次MS试验后发表的,91%的动物研究是在正式监管批准后发表的:我们的研究结果强调了药物从动物到临床实践的复杂性。具体挑战包括动物研究中有限的实验方法以及临床前研究与临床研究之间的脱节。我们主张努力简化多发性硬化症的药物开发,提高动物研究对患者的相关性:美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)、瑞士国家科学基金会(Swiss National Science Foundation)、大学动物福利联合会(Universities Federation for Animal Welfare)。

Background: The liver is a key metabolic organ, acting as a hub to metabolically connect various tissues. Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disorder whereby patients have an increased susceptibility to developing dyslipidaemia and liver steatosis. It remains unknown whether fatty liver is due to an intrinsic or extrinsic impact of survival motor neuron (SMN) protein depletion.

Methods: Using an adeno-associated viral vector with a liver specific promoter (albumin), we restored SMN protein levels in the liver alone in Smn2B/- mice, a model of SMA. Experiments assessed central and peripheral impacts using immunoblot, immunohistochemistry, and electron microscopy techniques.

Findings: We demonstrate that AAV9-albumin-SMN successfully expresses SMN protein in the liver with no detectable expression in the spinal cord or muscle in Smn2B/- mice. Liver intrinsic rescue of SMN protein was sufficient to increase survival of Smn2B/- mice. Fatty liver was ameliorated while key markers of liver function were also restored to normal levels. Certain peripheral pathologies were rescued including muscle size and pancreatic cell imbalance. Only a partial CNS recovery was seen using a liver therapeutic strategy alone.

Interpretation: The fatty liver phenotype is a direct impact of liver intrinsic SMN protein loss. Correction of SMN protein levels in liver is enough to restore some aspects of disease in SMA. We conclude that the liver is an important contributor to whole-body pathology in Smn2B/- mice.

背景:肝脏是一个关键的代谢器官,是连接各种组织的代谢枢纽。脊髓性肌肉萎缩症(SMA)是一种神经肌肉疾病,患者更容易出现血脂异常和肝脏脂肪变性。目前仍不清楚脂肪肝是由于存活运动神经元(SMN)蛋白耗竭的内在影响还是外在影响:方法:我们使用带有肝脏特异性启动子(白蛋白)的腺相关病毒载体,恢复了SMA模型Smn2B/-小鼠肝脏中SMN蛋白的水平。实验使用免疫印迹、免疫组织化学和电子显微镜技术评估了中枢和外周的影响:我们证明了 AAV9-albumin-SMN 成功地在 Smn2B/- 小鼠的肝脏中表达 SMN 蛋白,而在脊髓或肌肉中没有检测到表达。SMN蛋白的肝脏内在拯救足以提高Smn2B/-小鼠的存活率。脂肪肝得到改善,肝功能的关键指标也恢复到正常水平。某些外周病变也得到了缓解,包括肌肉大小和胰腺细胞失衡。仅使用肝脏治疗策略只能使中枢神经系统得到部分恢复:解读:脂肪肝表型是肝脏内在SMN蛋白缺失的直接影响。肝脏中SMN蛋白水平的纠正足以恢复SMA疾病的某些方面。我们的结论是,肝脏是导致Smn2B/-小鼠全身病理变化的重要因素:本研究由美国肌肉萎缩症协会(Muscular Dystrophy Association)[R.K.的基金编号为963652]和加拿大健康研究所(Canadian Institutes of Health Research)[R.K.的基金编号为PJT-186300]资助。

Background: Genetic variants and gene expression predict risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but their effect on COPD heterogeneity is unclear. We aimed to define high-risk COPD subtypes using genetics (polygenic risk score, PRS) and blood gene expression (transcriptional risk score, TRS) and assess differences in clinical and molecular characteristics.

Methods: We defined high-risk groups based on PRS and TRS quantiles by maximising differences in protein biomarkers in a COPDGene training set and identified these groups in COPDGene and ECLIPSE test sets. We tested multivariable associations of subgroups with clinical outcomes and compared protein-protein interaction networks and drug repurposing analyses between high-risk groups.

Findings: We examined two high-risk omics-defined groups in non-overlapping test sets (n = 1133 NHW COPDGene, n = 299 African American (AA) COPDGene, n = 468 ECLIPSE). We defined "high activity" (low PRS, high TRS) and "severe risk" (high PRS, high TRS) subgroups. Participants in both subgroups had lower body-mass index (BMI), lower lung function, and alterations in metabolic, growth, and immune signalling processes compared to a low-risk (low PRS, low TRS) subgroup. "High activity" but not "severe risk" participants had greater prospective FEV1 decline (COPDGene: -51 mL/year; ECLIPSE: -40 mL/year) and proteomic profiles were enriched in gene sets perturbed by treatment with 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.

Interpretation: Concomitant use of polygenic and transcriptional risk scores identified clinical and molecular heterogeneity amongst high-risk individuals. Proteomic and drug repurposing analysis identified subtype-specific enrichment for therapies and suggest prior drug repurposing failures may be explained by patient selection.

背景:基因变异和基因表达可预测慢性阻塞性肺病(COPD)的风险,但它们对慢性阻塞性肺病异质性的影响尚不清楚。我们旨在利用遗传学(多基因风险评分,PRS)和血液基因表达(转录风险评分,TRS)定义高风险 COPD 亚型,并评估临床和分子特征的差异:我们通过最大限度地扩大 COPDGene 训练集中蛋白质生物标志物的差异,根据 PRS 和 TRS 量值定义了高风险组,并在 COPDGene 和 ECLIPSE 测试集中确定了这些组。我们测试了亚组与临床结果的多变量关联,并比较了高风险组之间的蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用网络和药物再利用分析:我们在不重叠的测试集(n = 1133 NHW COPDGene、n = 299 African American (AA) COPDGene、n = 468 ECLIPSE)中研究了两个由omics定义的高风险组。我们定义了 "高活动"(低 PRS、高 TRS)和 "严重风险"(高 PRS、高 TRS)亚组。与低风险(低 PRS、低 TRS)亚组相比,这两个亚组的参与者体重指数(BMI)较低,肺功能较差,代谢、生长和免疫信号过程发生了改变。"高活性 "而非 "严重风险 "参与者的前瞻性 FEV1 下降幅度更大(COPDGene:-51 mL/年;ECLIPSE:-40 mL/年),蛋白质组图谱中的基因集因使用 5-脂氧合酶抑制剂和血管紧张素转换酶(ACE)抑制剂而受到干扰:同时使用多基因和转录风险评分可确定高危人群的临床和分子异质性。蛋白质组学和药物再利用分析确定了亚型特异性富集疗法,并表明之前的药物再利用失败可能是由于患者选择所致:美国国立卫生研究院。

Identifying WHO global priority endemic pathogens for vaccine research and development (R&D) using multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA): an objective of the Immunization Agenda 2030. 利用多标准决策分析(MCDA)确定世卫组织全球疫苗研发(R&D)的优先流行病原体:《2030 年免疫议程》的目标。

Background: To date, global priorities for new vaccine R&D have not been systematically identified for endemic pathogens. As part of Immunisation Agenda 2030 (IA2030), we have systematically identified priority endemic pathogens for new vaccine R&D based on country and regional stakeholder values to address this need.

Methods: MCDA surveys targeting policy makers and immunisation stakeholders in each World Health Organization (WHO) region were used to weight eight criteria for prioritisation. Applying those weights to regional pathogen data yielded regional top ten pathogen lists, which are intended to inform regional deliberations on R&D priorities. The regional top ten lists were combined into an IA2030 global priority list. To inform R&D, use cases for new vaccines and monoclonal antibodies were identified, then categorized in terms of the activities needed to accelerate progress.

Findings: In five out of six WHO regions, Annual deaths in children under five and Contribution to antimicrobial resistance were the most heavily weighted criteria. How participants weighted the criteria was not associated with their region, biographical characteristics, or areas of expertise. Five pathogens were common priorities across all regions: M tuberculosis, HIV-1, K pneumoniae, S aureus, and Extra-intestinal pathogenic E coli. Six pathogens were priorities in single regions. Combining regional top ten lists provided a global list of 17 priority pathogens for new vaccine R&D. Thirty-four distinct use cases were identified for new products targeting these pathogens. While most are in the "Advance product development" category, ten are in the "Research" category and seven are in the "Prepare to implement" category.

Interpretation: These priorities for new vaccine R&D will help stakeholders better respond to regional and country needs. The use cases will inform R&D and enable monitoring of R&D under IA2030.

背景:迄今为止,全球尚未系统地确定地方性病原体的新疫苗研发重点。作为《2030 年免疫议程》(IA2030)的一部分,我们根据国家和地区利益相关者的价值观,系统地确定了新疫苗研发的优先流行病原体,以满足这一需求:方法:针对世界卫生组织(WHO)各地区的政策制定者和免疫接种利益相关者开展 MCDA 调查,对确定优先次序的八项标准进行加权。将这些权重应用于地区病原体数据,得出地区十佳病原体名单,旨在为地区研发优先事项审议提供信息。地区十大病原体名单被合并为 IA2030 全球优先名单。为了给研发工作提供信息,我们确定了新型疫苗和单克隆抗体的使用案例,然后根据加速进展所需的活动进行了分类:在世界卫生组织六个地区中的五个地区,五岁以下儿童年死亡人数和对抗生素耐药性的贡献是权重最高的标准。参与者如何给标准加权与他们所在的地区、个人特点或专业领域无关。有五种病原体是所有地区的共同优先选择:结核杆菌、HIV-1、肺炎双球菌、金黄色葡萄球菌和肠道外致病性大肠杆菌。有六种病原体是单一地区的优先病原体。综合各地区的前十名病原体名单,得出了 17 种新疫苗研发优先病原体的全球名单。针对这些病原体的新产品确定了 34 种不同的用例。虽然大多数属于 "推进产品开发 "类,但有十种属于 "研究 "类,七种属于 "准备实施 "类:这些新疫苗研发的优先事项将帮助利益相关者更好地满足地区和国家的需求。这些用例将为研发提供信息,并有助于监测 IA2030 下的研发工作:这项工作由比尔及梅林达-盖茨基金会向世卫组织提供的赠款(INV-005318)资助。

Background: Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) are at high risk of early-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD); yet, some 20 percent do not develop any signs of dementia until after 65 years or in their lifetime. Mosaicism could contribute to this phenotypic variation, where some disomic cells could lead to lower levels of gene products from chromosome 21.

Methods: We examined longitudinal neuropsychological and biomarker data from two large studies of DS: the Alzheimer Biomarker Consortium-Down syndrome study (ABC-DS) (n = 357); and a legacy study (n = 468). We assessed mosaicism using karyotyping or GWAS data. Participants had data on plasma AD biomarkers (Aβ40, Aβ42, tau, and NfL) and longitudinal cognitive measures. A subset had cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers (Aβ40, Aβ42, tau, ptau181, and NfL) and amyloid and tau PET data.

Findings: For both cohorts, the prevalence of mosaicism was <10% (ABC-DS: 7.3%; Legacy: 9.6%), and those with mosaicism had lower plasma Aβ40 and Aβ42 concentrations. For the older legacy cohort, when compared to those with full trisomy, those with mosaicism had significantly smaller decline in total and annualized neurocognitive scores, and lower incidence and prevalence of dementia.

Interpretation: Mosaicism in DS was associated with lower concentrations of plasma Aβ peptides, possibly leading to lower AD risk. However, its clinical impact was less clear in the younger ABC-DC cohort, and a follow-up study is warranted.

背景:唐氏综合征(DS)患者罹患早发性阿尔茨海默病(AD)的风险很高;然而,约有20%的患者直到65岁以后或终生都不会出现任何痴呆症状。嵌合体可能是导致这种表型变异的原因之一,其中一些双组细胞可能会导致21号染色体的基因产物水平降低:我们检查了两项大型 DS 研究中的纵向神经心理学和生物标志物数据:阿尔茨海默氏症生物标志物联盟-唐氏综合征研究(ABC-DS)(n = 357)和一项遗产研究(n = 468)。我们使用核型或 GWAS 数据对嵌合情况进行了评估。参与者有血浆AD生物标志物(Aβ40、Aβ42、tau和NfL)和纵向认知测量数据。一个子组具有脑脊液生物标志物(Aβ40、Aβ42、tau、ptau181和NfL)以及淀粉样蛋白和tau PET数据:两个队列的嵌合率均为 40 和 Aβ42 浓度。在年龄较大的遗存队列中,与全三体症患者相比,有嵌合现象的患者神经认知总分和年化神经认知分数的下降幅度明显较小,痴呆症的发病率和患病率也较低:DS中的嵌合体与血浆Aβ肽浓度较低有关,可能会降低AD风险。然而,在较年轻的ABC-DC队列中,其临床影响并不明显,因此有必要进行后续研究:美国国立卫生研究院(R01AG014673、P01HD035897、R56AG061837)、NIA(U01AG051412、U19AG068054)、NICHD、ADRC项目、Eunice Kennedy Shriver智力和发育障碍研究中心项目以及NCATS(UL1TR001873)。

Background: Cancer cell plasticity is the ability of neoplastic cells to alter their identity and acquire new biological properties under microenvironmental pressures. In prostate cancer (PCa), lineage plasticity often results in therapy resistance and trans-differentiation to neuroendocrine (NE) lineage. However, identifying the cancer cells harboring lineage plasticity-related status remains challenging.

Methods: Based on 13 multi-center human PCa bulk transcriptomic cohorts (samples = 3314) and 9 bulk transcriptomic datasets derived from PCa experimental models, we established an integrated lineage plasticity-related gene signature, termed LPSig. Leveraging this gene signature, AUCell enrichment analysis was applied to identify the cell population with high lineage plasticity from a comprehensive single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) meta-atlas assembled by us, which consisted of 10 public human PCa scRNA-seq datasets (samples = 93, cells = 222,529). Moreover, additional scRNA-seq dataset of human PCa, multiplex immunohistochemistry staining for human PCa tissues, in vitro and in vivo functional experiments, as well as qPCR and Western blot analyses were employed to validate our findings.

Findings: We found that LPSig could finely capture the dynamics of tumor lineage plasticity throughout the progression of PCa, accurately estimating the status of lineage plasticity. Based on LPSig, we identified a previously undefined minority population of lineage plasticity-related PCa cells (LPCs) from the human PCa scRNA-seq meta-atlas assembled by this study. Furthermore, in-depth dissection revealed pivotal roles of LPCs in trans-differentiation, tumor recurrence, and poor patient survival during PCa progression. Furthermore, we identified HMMR as a representative cell surface marker for LPCs, which was validated using additional scRNA-seq datasets and multiplexed immunohistochemistry. Moreover, HMMR was transcriptionally inhibited by androgen receptor (AR), and was required for the aggressive adenocarcinoma features and NE phenotype.

Interpretation: Our study uncovers a novel population of lineage plasticity-related cells with low AR activity, stemness-like traits, and elevated HMMR expression, that may facilitate poor prognosis in PCa.

背景:癌细胞可塑性是指肿瘤细胞在微环境压力下改变自身特性并获得新的生物学特性的能力。在前列腺癌(PCa)中,细胞系可塑性通常会导致耐药性和向神经内分泌(NE)系的跨分化。然而,确定癌细胞是否具有与系可塑性相关的状态仍是一项挑战:方法:基于13个多中心人类PCa大样本转录组队列(样本数=3314)和9个PCa实验模型的大样本转录组数据集,我们建立了一个整合的品系可塑性相关基因特征,称为LPSig。利用这一基因特征,我们应用AUCell富集分析,从我们组建的一个全面的单细胞RNA测序(scRNA-seq)元图谱(包括10个公开的人类PCa scRNA-seq数据集(样本=93,细胞=222,529))中识别出了具有高度系谱可塑性的细胞群。此外,我们还采用了额外的人类 PCa scRNA-seq 数据集、人类 PCa 组织的多重免疫组化染色、体外和体内功能实验以及 qPCR 和 Western 印迹分析来验证我们的发现:我们发现,LPSig能精细捕捉PCa进展过程中肿瘤系可塑性的动态变化,准确估计系可塑性的状态。基于LPSig,我们从本研究收集的人类PCa scRNA-seq元图谱中发现了一个之前未定义的与品系可塑性相关的PCa细胞(LPCs)少数群体。此外,深入研究还发现了 LPCs 在 PCa 进展过程中的跨分化、肿瘤复发和患者生存率低下等方面的关键作用。此外,我们还发现 HMMR 是 LPCs 的代表性细胞表面标志物,并通过其他 scRNA-seq 数据集和多重免疫组化方法进行了验证。此外,HMMR受到雄激素受体(AR)的转录抑制,是侵袭性腺癌特征和NE表型所必需的:我们的研究发现了一种新的与细胞系可塑性相关的细胞群,它们具有低AR活性、干性特征和高HMMR表达,可能有助于PCa的不良预后:本研究得到了国家重点研发计划(2022YFA0807000)、国家自然科学基金(82160584)、昆明医科大学前列腺癌先进诊疗技术创新团队(CXTD202216)、云南省中青年学术带头人后备人才(202105AC160013)的资助。

Circadian rhythms significantly impact (patho)physiological processes, with disruptions linked to neurodegenerative diseases and heightened cancer vulnerability. While immunotherapy has shown promise in treating various cancers, its efficacy in brain malignancies remains limited. This review explores the nexus of circadian rhythms and immunotherapy in brain cancer treatment, emphasising precision through alignment with the body's internal clock. We evaluate circadian regulation of immune responses, including cell localisation and functional phenotype, and discuss how circadian dysregulation affects anti-cancer immunity. Additionally, we analyse and assess the effectiveness of current immunotherapeutic approaches for brain cancer including immune checkpoint blockades, adoptive cellular therapies, and other novel strategies. Future directions, such as chronotherapy and personalised treatment schedules, are proposed to optimise immunotherapy precision against brain cancers. Overall, this review provides an understanding of the often-overlooked role of circadian rhythms in brain cancer and suggests avenues for improving immunotherapeutic outcomes.

昼夜节律对(病理)生理过程有重大影响,其紊乱与神经退行性疾病和癌症易感性增加有关。虽然免疫疗法在治疗各种癌症方面前景看好,但其在脑部恶性肿瘤中的疗效仍然有限。这篇综述探讨了脑癌治疗中昼夜节律与免疫疗法的关系,强调通过与人体内部时钟保持一致来实现精准治疗。我们评估了免疫反应的昼夜节律调节,包括细胞定位和功能表型,并讨论了昼夜节律失调如何影响抗癌免疫。此外,我们还分析和评估了当前脑癌免疫治疗方法的有效性,包括免疫检查点阻断、采纳性细胞疗法和其他新型策略。我们还提出了未来的发展方向,如时间疗法和个性化治疗计划,以优化针对脑癌的精准免疫疗法。总之,这篇综述让人们了解了昼夜节律在脑癌中经常被忽视的作用,并提出了改善免疫治疗效果的途径。

Plasma proteomic signatures of liver steatosis and fibrosis in people living with HIV: a cross-sectional study. 艾滋病病毒感染者肝脏脂肪变性和纤维化的血浆蛋白质组特征:一项横断面研究。
IF 9.7 1区 医学 Q1 MEDICINE, RESEARCH & EXPERIMENTAL Pub Date : 2024-11-01 Epub Date: 2024-10-18 DOI: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2024.105407

Background: Insights into the mechanisms driving metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in people living with HIV (PLHIV) remain limited. Plasma proteomics holds promise for biomarker discovery and the elucidation of biological mechanisms.

Methods: We performed cross-sectional analyses on data from 1036 virally suppressed PLHIV using antiretroviral treatment (ART) from the Dutch multi-centre 2000HIV cohort. Participants underwent transient elastography to assess liver steatosis (controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) ≥263 dB/m) and -fibrosis (liver stiffness measurement (LSM) ≥7.0 kPa). Plasma protein concentrations (n = 2367) (Olink® Explore Panel) were compared between PLHIV with vs. without liver steatosis and PLHIV with vs. without fibrosis. Enriched pathways (using GO, KEGG and Reactome libraries) and correlations with clinical characteristics were assessed, and analyses were stratified by BMI category. In addition, concentrations of 242 proteins were compared between individuals ("controls") with and without liver steatosis (ratio of methylene:methylene and water >5.6% on magnetic resonance spectroscopy) from a separate cohort (300-OB), all having a BMI >26 kg/m2.

Findings: Steatosis and fibrosis were associated with 67/2367 (2.2%) and 17/2367 (0.7%) differentially expressed proteins (DEP), respectively, enriched in mostly metabolic pathways. Immunoglobulin superfamily member 9 (IGSF9) was amongst the top DEP associated with both steatosis and fibrosis. Stratifying by BMI revealed 8/2367 DEP associated with steatosis in lean- and 12/2367 DEP in overweight/obese individuals, with two shared DEP (IGSF9 and GHR). Conversely, protein signatures of overweight/obese PLHIV (32/242 DEP) and overweight/obese HIV-uninfected individuals (32/242 DEP) exhibited substantial overlap with 16 shared DEP. Notably, DEP correlated with HIV characteristics in lean individuals but not in overweight/obese PLHIV.

Interpretation: Lean and overweight/obese PLHIV exhibit distinct proteomic signatures associated with liver steatosis, with the former being more strongly correlated with HIV-specific factors and ART. In addition, we identified a protein, IGSF9, strongly related to liver fibrosis and steatosis across BMI categories.

背景:对艾滋病病毒感染者(PLHIV)代谢功能障碍相关性脂肪性肝病(MASLD)发病机制的了解仍然有限。血浆蛋白质组学有望发现生物标志物并阐明生物机制:我们对荷兰多中心 2000HIV 队列中 1036 名使用抗逆转录病毒疗法(ART)的病毒已被抑制的 PLHIV 的数据进行了横断面分析。参与者接受了瞬态弹性成像检查,以评估肝脏脂肪变性(控制衰减参数 (CAP) ≥ 263 dB/m)和肝纤维化(肝脏硬度测量 (LSM) ≥ 7.0 kPa)。比较了有肝脂肪变性和无肝脂肪变性的 PLHIV 和有肝纤维化和无肝纤维化的 PLHIV 之间的血浆蛋白质浓度(n = 2367)(Olink® Explore Panel)。评估了丰富的通路(使用 GO、KEGG 和 Reactome 库)以及与临床特征的相关性,并按体重指数类别进行了分层分析。此外,还比较了来自一个独立队列(300-OB)的有肝脏脂肪变性(磁共振波谱显示亚甲基:亚甲基和水的比率大于 5.6%)和无肝脏脂肪变性(磁共振波谱显示亚甲基:亚甲基和水的比率大于 5.6%)的个体("对照组")之间 242 种蛋白质的浓度,所有个体的体重指数均大于 26 kg/m2:脂肪变性和纤维化分别与 67/2367 个(2.2%)和 17/2367 个(0.7%)差异表达蛋白(DEP)有关,这些蛋白主要富集在代谢途径中。免疫球蛋白超家族成员 9 (IGSF9) 是与脂肪变性和纤维化相关的最大差异表达蛋白之一。按体重指数(BMI)分层后发现,瘦人中有8/2367个DEP与脂肪变性相关,而超重/肥胖者中有12/2367个DEP与脂肪变性相关,其中有两个DEP是共用的(IGSF9和GHR)。相反,超重/肥胖 PLHIV(32/242 DEP)和超重/肥胖 HIV 未感染者(32/242 DEP)的蛋白质特征与 16 个共有 DEP 有很大的重叠。值得注意的是,瘦人的 DEP 与 HIV 特征相关,而超重/肥胖 PLHIV 的 DEP 与 HIV 特征无关:瘦弱和超重/肥胖的艾滋病毒感染者表现出与肝脏脂肪变性相关的不同蛋白质组特征,前者与艾滋病毒特异性因素和抗逆转录病毒疗法的相关性更强。此外,我们还发现了一种与肝纤维化和脂肪变性密切相关的蛋白质--IGSF9,它跨越了体重指数的类别:2000HIV 研究由 ViiV Healthcare 资助。
