[VIRTUAL] EBV-aggravated colitis as a side effect of immune combination therapy with nivolumab and ipilimumab in metastatic melanoma (ADO 2020)
The integrin antagonist vedolizumab has the advantage over the standard in this situation, the TNFα antibody infliximab, of causing fewer pulmonary infections...In contrast to CMV-aggravated colitis, the usual therapy with ganciclovir in addition to the steroid is not the first choice. Such patients can particularly benefit from anti-inflammatory therapy with vedolizumab, which has a less pulmonary immunosuppressive effect, which in times of coronavirus Pandemic made sense.

[VIRTUAL] Cytokine release syndrome in a patient with metastatic melanoma under BRAF / MEK inhibition (ADO 2020)
The successful use of the IL-6 receptor antagonist tocilizumab has also been described...The patient had been receiving dabrafenib and trametinib for one month after being treated with pembrolizumab as adjuvant...The administration of paracetamol and an imputed antibiotic therapy with piperacillin / tazobactam did not lead to defever, but to further increasing lymphocytopenia and increasing CRP up to 311.5 mg / L (norm: <3 mg / l)...The intravenous administration of 150 mg prednisolone daily for 4 days led to a prompt defever, normalization of weight and resolution of all other symptoms. The patient tolerated the subsequent change in therapy to vemurafenib / cobimetinib without complications. Due to the increasing combination of therapies in patients with metastatic melanoma, the frequency of CRS can increase and should be included in differential diagnostic considerations for the symptoms mentioned above.

Paraneoplastic Dermatomyositis in a Patient with Metastatic Gastric Carcinoma. (PubMed, Acta Dermatovenerol Croat)
A systemic therapy with methylprednisolone 60 mg/daily and azathioprine 100 mg/daily was initiated, aiming to alleviate the progressively worsening muscle weakness, but proved ineffective. Although it is generally accepted that patients with DM should undergo some type of cancer screening, there is no consensus regarding methods or frequency. New data suggest that blind screening in asymptomatic patients might be of great importance for early diagnosis and treatment of patients with cancer-associated DM.

Methylprednisolone potentiates tetrandrine pharmacodynamics against human T lymphoblastoid leukemia MOLT-4 cells via regulation of NF-κB activation and cell cycle transition. (PubMed, Steroids)
These results suggest that nM grade of MP potentiates the cytotoxic effect of TET possibly via regulation of NF-κB activation and "G0/G1 to S" phase transition in human T lymphoblastoid leukemia MOLT-4 cells. Combination of TET and MP may provide a new therapeutic strategy for relapsed T-ALL.

Neuromuscular complications following targeted therapy in cancer patients: beyond the immune checkpoint inhibitors. Case reports and review of the literature. (PubMed, Neurol Sci)
The first patient was treated with the combination of Vemurafenib and Cobimetinib, BRAF and MEK inhibitors, respectively, for a cutaneous melanoma...She was successfully treated with methylprednisolone. The second patient received therapy with Imatinib, tyrosine kinase inhibitor and precursor of the targeted therapy, for a gastrointestinal stromal tumour...DISCUSSION AND  We strengthen the relevance of neuromuscular complications which may occur long after treatment start or in patients receiving not only the latest ICPi but also "older" and apparently better-known targeted therapies. Also in the latter cases, an immune-mediated "off-target" pathogenic mechanism can be hypothesized, and consequences can be life threatening, if not promptly diagnosed and appropriately managed.

Her entire hospital stay included 13 blood transfusions, 4 rounds of monthly cyclophosphamide, high dose methylprednisolone for several weeks, 4 rounds of weekly rituximab, 43 days on HFOV, 57 days on conventional ventilator, and gastrostomy and tracheostomy dependence...Also described is the association of other RAS-associated autoimmune leukoproliferative disorders (KRAS or NRAS mutation) with JMML. To our knowledge there are no documented cases of a patient less than five with severe lupus, presenting with pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage, also known to have a somatic mutation of NRAS gene, which is thought to be less likely to be associated with RASopathy.

Correlation between serum levels of endothelin-1 and disease severity in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders. (PubMed, Immunobiology)
ET-1 and IL-6 might exert pro-inflammatory effects in the pathogenesis of NMOSD, whereas IL-10 played an anti-inflammatory role in this process. ET-1 might be a potential biomarker for predicting the severity of NMOSD. However, the serum levels of ET-1 were not correlated with the changes of other cytokines/chemokines in patients with NMOSD. The involvement of ET-1 in the development of NMOSD needs to be further studied.

Reduction of FoxP3 Tregs by an immunosuppressive protocol of rapamycin plus Thymalfasin and Huaier extract predicts positive survival benefits in a rat model of hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, Ann Transl Med)
We successfully established a rat model simulating HCC relapse after LT using an optimized chemical induction method with TACROLIMUS, methylprednisolone, and diethylnitrosamine as identified by visible liver nodules and hematoxylin-eosin staining. FoxP3Tregs showed a negative correlation with CD8 and CD4/CD8T cells and a positive correlation with AFP, and VEGF (P<0.05). SRL-based therapy reduces FoxP3Tregs to decrease secreted inhibitory cytokines which may enhancement the viability and number of CD8T cells to exert anti-tumor effects that are mainly mediated through the AKT-mTOR signaling pathway.

Overlapping syndrome of MOG-IgG-associated disease and autoimmune GFAP astrocytopathy. (PubMed, J Neurol)
Treatment strategy employing intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy followed by oral prednisone with slow tapering resulted in an improvement of his symptoms and a sustained remission. Coexistence of MOG-IgG and GFAP-IgG with distinct underlying pathogeneses necessitates the recommendations to screen all recognized pathogenic antibodies against CNS antigens when an autoimmune disease is suspected, since it shows great significance for definite diagnosis of disease and treatment strategy options.

A novel CX3CR1 inhibitor AZD8797 facilitates early recovery of rat acute spinal cord injury by inhibiting inflammation and apoptosis. (PubMed, Int J Mol Med)
Another batch of rats (subdivided into sham, injury model, AZD8797 and methylprednisolone groups) were used to evaluate locomotive recovery with a Basso Beattie Bresnahan score. The effect of AZD8797 was mediated by suppressing apoptosis, necrosis and inflammatory responses, as assessed by WB/ELISA and morphological examinations. The current study has demonstrated that AZD8797 can effectively block overwhelming inflammation, apoptosis and necrosis after SCI and facilitate early recovery of locomotive function.

Exosomes derived from Wharton's jelly of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells reduce osteocyte apoptosis in glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head in rats via the miR-21-PTEN-AKT signalling pathway. (PubMed, Int J Biol Sci)
To evaluate the effects of exosomes in GIONFH, a dexamethasone-treated or exosome-treated in vitro cell model and a methylprednisolone-treated in vivo rat model were set up. Exosomes are effective at inhibiting osteocyte apoptosis (in MLO-Y4 cells) and at preventing rat GIONFH. These beneficial effects are mediated by the miR-21-PTEN-AKT signalling pathway.
