First reported case of thymoma-associated multiorgan autoimmunity induced by COVID-19. (PubMed, J Dermatol)
A 64-year-old female patient with a history of myasthenia gravis and thymoma treated with prednisolone (10 mg/day) and cyclosporine (150 mg/day) experienced erythema on her trunk after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) onset...During the disease course, candida fungemia and cytomegalovirus infection developed, resulting in the patient's death. The TAMA was considered to have been caused by the release of inflammatory cytokines, autoreactive T cell activation, and regulatory T cell dysfunction induced by COVID-19.

Calcineurin-mediated dephosphorylation stabilizes E2F1 protein by suppressing binding of the FBXW7 ubiquitin ligase subunit. (PubMed, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A)
Finally, the calcineurin inhibitor FK506 attenuated xenograft tumor growth in mice in association with downregulation of E2F1 in the tumor tissue. Impairment of the balance between the opposing actions of FBXW7 and calcineurin in the regulation of E2F1 abundance may therefore play an important role in carcinogenesis.

Chronic lymphoproliferative disorder of natural killer cells-related neurolymphomatosis with severe autonomic dysfunction: a case report. (PubMed, BMC Neurol)
We experienced a case of pathologically diagnosed neurolymphomatosis with autonomic dysfunction associated with CLPD-NK. In cases of subacute to chronic autonomic dysfunction, paraneoplastic neuropathy, amyloidosis, and autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy are considered; however neurolymphomatosis caused by CLPD-NK, an important cause of autonomic dysfunction, is not. In difficult to make diagnosis, aggressive nerve biopsy is required.

Certain drugs, such as carbamazepine and allopurinol, have shown a strong association with specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) types...Supportive care is recommended for treating SJS/TEN, but the efficacy of various therapeutic options-including systemic corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, cyclosporine, and tumor necrosis factor-α antagonists-remains controversial. Recent studies have investigated the potential benefits of tumor necrosis factor-α antagonists. In this review, we discuss recent advances in the understanding and management of SJS/TEN.

Choline-based ionic liquids enhance the dermal delivery of cyclosporine a for potential treatment of psoriasis. (PubMed, Drug Deliv Transl Res)
Moreover, CyA-loaded ILs (0.5%, w/w) significantly relieved the symptoms of psoriasis in an imiquimod (IMQ)-induced mouse model, and the levels of inflammatory factors, including tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin 22 and interleukin 17, in the affected area were reduced by 71.7%, 75.6%, and 89.3%, respectively. After 7 days of consecutive application, [Ch][So] did not cause significant irritation. In conclusion, ILs demonstrate promising potential for the dermal delivery of CyA for the treatment of psoriasis.

Complement C3d enables protective immunity capable of distinguishing spontaneously transformed from non-transformed cells. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Malignant plasma cell deletion was blocked by cyclosporin or by CD8 depletion confirming that endogenous T cells mediated malignant clone clearance...We discovered that a component of the complement system (C3d) overcomes tumor immune evasion by augmenting expression of ribosomal proteins and lncRNAs linked to the presentation of novel peptides by tumor cells. C3d induced CMI targets cancer cells sparing non transformed cells uncovering a novel function for complement in immune surveillance.

Pan-cancer analysis identifies venous thromboembolism-related genes F3, PLAT, and C1S as potential prognostic biomarkers for glioblastoma and lower grade glioma. (PubMed, Mol Biomed)
Additionally, gene-drug association analysis identified ciclosporin, ouabain and 6- mercaptopurine, which all exhibit immunosuppressive properties, as potential therapeutic options for tumor patients exhibiting high F3, PLAT or C1S expression, respectively. In summary, our findings provide a bioinformatics perspective on VRGs in pan-cancer, highlighting the pivotal roles of F3, PLAT and C1S, which could potentially be therapeutically exploited and targeted in several cancers, especially in GBMLGG.

Treatment outcomes between cyclosporin and chemotherapy in adult subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma: a report from nation-wide Thai lymphoma study group registry. (PubMed, Ann Hematol)

Based on our study, CSA-based regimens are the preferred first-line treatment remedy for newly diagnosed SPTCL, especially in patients with limited cutaneous involvement.

Umbilical Cord Blood-Derived Cells Can Reconstruct Hematopoiesis in an Aplastic Anemia Animal Model. (PubMed, Stem Cells Int)
To explore the efficacy and the mechanism of the umbilical cord-derived cells combined with cyclosporine A (CsA) in treating aplastic anemia (AA) in mice...Treatment with CsA + UC-MSC upregulated superoxide dismutase activity compared with CsA + UCB-Treg treatment. Adding UC-MSC or UCB-Treg to CsA markedly enhanced the reconstruction of hematopoiesis in AA mice, with UC-MSC eliciting greater efficiency than UCB-Treg. Accordingly, the addition of these cells could further improve immune abnormalities.

Clinical analysis of 10 cases with subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma and tissue AURKA expression. (PubMed, Skin Res Technol)
1) SPTCL predominantly affects young individuals and can be identified by nodular erythema on the trunk, intermittent high fever, and infiltration of atypical cytotoxic lymphocytes within fat lobules. 2) For early-stage cases without metastasis, monotherapy with glucocorticoids or immunosuppressants such as cyclosporine can be considered. 3) High expression of AURKA in SPTCL tissues suggests that AURKA could be a potential biomarker for disease diagnosis, providing a theoretical basis for further targeted therapy.

A Difficult Case of Calcineurin Inhibitor Neurotoxicity Post-Haploidentical HCT With a Successful Novel Solution: Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte-Associated Protein 4-Immunoglobulin Blockade for GVHD Prophylaxis. (PubMed, Cell Transplant)
There are two CTLA4-Ig agents: belatacept and abatacept. Herein, we describe a case in which abatacept was given off-label to replace tacrolimus GVHD prophylaxis in a patient with neurotoxicity undergoing haploidentical HCT. This case suggests that CTLA4-Ig blockade may be a good alternative to a CNI in cases where the CNI needs to be discontinued and warrants further investigation.
