Long-term Follow-up of Gastrointestinal CAR T-cell Lymphoma: Homing, Clonal Expansion, and Response to Cyclosporine. (PubMed, Blood)
We found clinical, histological, and molecular evidence demonstrating the efficacy of cyclosporine in reducing the expanded malignant clone and achieving durable clinical remission for more than a year. Our findings highlight the complex interplay between CAR T-cell therapy, pre-existing genetic vulnerabilities, and the GI microenvironment, emphasizing the need for vigilant monitoring and tailored therapeutic strategies to address the risks associated with CAR-T lymphomagenesis.

Molecular dynamics simulation and single-cell and spatial transcriptomics validate immune and prognostic biomarkers in colorectal cancer and construct a clinical prognostic model. (PubMed, Transl Cancer Res)
Molecular docking and dynamics simulations revealed valproic acid, cyclosporine, and genistein as potential therapeutic compounds with strong binding affinities to the hub genes...This comprehensive study highlights the potential of ULBP2, INHBB, and STC2 as promising biomarkers for CRC, emphasizing their roles in regulating tumor progression and immune responses. Future studies should focus on targeted therapeutic strategies that utilize these biomarkers to enhance treatment efficacy and patient prognosis.

Osimertinib-induced aplastic anemia after curative surgery for EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, Respir Med Case Rep)
The patient had previously received adjuvant oral tegafur-uracil for 2 years without any hematologic toxicity...Treatment with cyclosporine led to gradual hematologic improvement and transfusion independence. This is a rare case of osimertinib-induced aplastic anemia occurring after curative-intent surgery for NSCLC, in contrast to previously published reports that mainly involved patients with advanced or metastatic disease. Clinicians should be aware of this rare but life-threatening complication and closely monitor peripheral blood counts during treatment, particularly within the first 2-8 months after treatment initiation.

CypA Mediates Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Chemoresistance by Attenuating Ferroptosis via Stabilizing SLC7A11. (PubMed, Adv Sci (Weinh))
Here, cyclophilin A (CypA) is identified as a critical mediator of cisplatin (DDP)/paclitaxel (DTX) resistance in NSCLC by suppressing ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death...knockout of CypA or pharmacological inhibition with cyclosporine A (CsA) reverse resistant NSCLC cells to DDP/DTX both in vitro and in vivo by restoring ferroptosis...The study uncovers a CypA/SLC7A11/TRIM3 axis governing ferroptosis evasion in NSCLC chemoresistance and highlights CypA as a promising therapeutic target. Repurposing CsA to inhibit CypA represents a translatable strategy to overcome chemotherapy resistance, offering preclinical validation for improving outcomes in NSCLC patients.

Design and In Vitro Evaluation of Gambogic Acid-Conjugated Stearic Acid Solid Lipid Nanoparticles for Transferrin Receptor-Mediated Drug Delivery. (PubMed, Pharm Res)
The SA-GA conjugate was employed to formulate SLNs using a hot homogenization-ultrasonication-solvent evaporation technique for the peroral delivery of cyclosporine (CsA), paclitaxel (PTX), and urolithin-A (UA). Further, in cisplatin-induced HK2 cell damage models, UA-loaded SA-GA SLNs significantly reduced inflammatory markers TLR4, NF-κB, and IL-1β. These results highlight UA-loaded SA-GA SLNs as a promising TfR-targeted oral delivery system for mitigating cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) in cancer therapy.

Sirolimus use in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant recipients: assessing its senotherapeutic role in a high risk population. (PubMed, Front Aging)
All patients received an identical conditioning regimen with different GVHD prophylaxis: sirolimus + mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) or cyclosporine + MMF. Our results suggest that the daily administration and dosing used for GVHD prevention are less likely to confer clinical benefits, possibly indicating that the beneficial effects of sirolimus occur within a specific therapeutic window. These findings highlight the need to further investigate senotherapeutic approaches in this setting of accelerated aging.

Case Report: Spontaneous pneumomediastinum in a patient with MDA5-positive dermatomyositis and severe pulmonary fibrosis. (PubMed, Front Med (Lausanne))
By October 2024, clinical decline with cutaneous ulcers and severe lymphopenia prompted cyclosporine (CyA) initiation...A multidisciplinary team approved the escalation to rituximab, which, in combination with her existing regimen, led to clinical stabilization and the resolution of her pulmonary and cutaneous symptoms. This case emphasizes the complexity of managing anti-MDA5-positive DM with severe pulmonary complications. Early recognition, a multidisciplinary approach, and personalized treatment are crucial to improving outcomes.
