Wilms Tumor With Raised Serum Alpha-Fetoprotein: Highlighting the Need for Novel Circulating Biomarkers. (PubMed, Pediatr Dev Pathol)
The resection specimen was comprised of ~55% and ~45% stromal and epithelial elements, respectively, with no anaplasia, but immunohistochemistry using AFP staining revealed positive mucinous intestinal epithelium, consistent with the serum AFP observations. The lack of correlation between tumor response and serum AFP levels in this case highlights a more general clinical unmet need to identify WT-specific circulating tumor markers.

Conformation-selective rather than avidity-based binding to tumor associated antigen derived peptide-MHC enables targeting of WT1-pMHC low expressing cancer cells by anti-WT1-pMHC/CD3 T cell engagers. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
The augmented avidity conferred by the binding of two anti-WT1-HLA-A*02:01 Fab arms has only minimal influence on cell killing potency. These findings demonstrate the need for careful examination of key design parameters for the development of next-generation T cell engagers targeting low density TAA-pMHCs on tumor cells.

Real-World Experience with Selinexor -Containing Regimens in Post-Transplant AML/MDS Patients Who MRD Still Positive after First-Line Preemptive Treatment (ASH 2023)
The selinexor-containing regimens used in this study were either selinexor (35mg/m 2 biw) alone or in combination with other drugs (decitabine, azacytidine, venetoclax, low-dose cytarabine, and CAG (cytarabine, aclarubicin, G-CSF) regimen). Selinexor-containing regimens have been shown to be effective and well tolerated in post-transplant AML/MDS patients with MRD-positive, including those who have failed first-line preemptive treatment.

High-grade Serous Carcinoma can Show Squamoid Morphology Mimicking True Squamous Differentiation. (PubMed, Am J Surg Pathol)
In conclusion, HG-SC can on rare occasions show a "squamoid component" mimicking "squamous differentiation." However, the "squamoid component" in HG-SC does not represent true "squamous differentiation." The "squamoid component" is one part of the morphologic spectrum of HG-SC, which should be interpreted carefully for the differential diagnosis of HG-SC and EC. An immunohistochemical panel including p40, p53, p16, and WT1 is a useful adjunct to achieve a correct diagnosis.

MORPHOLOGICAL PHENOTYPE ATLAS OF THE KIDNEY IN THE DEVELOPING C57BL/6 MICE (ISN-WCN 2023)
Since different developmental stages have distinct inherent morphological changes which could affect the interpretation of the final results, special attention should be given when selecting the age of C57BL/6 mice for individual settings. The availability of the morphology atlas of the kidney would be a new and significant resource for mechanistic investigations and testing of potential therapeutic interventions.

Adapting the pantograph limb: Differential robustness of fore- and hindlimb kinematics against genetically induced perturbation in the neural control networks and its evolutionary implications. (PubMed, Zoology (Jena))
Interestingly, the observed effects are similar to locomotor deficits reported to arise when sensory feedback from proprioceptors or cutaneous receptors is impaired. A putative participation of Wt1 positive dI6 interneurons in sensorimotor integration is therefore considered.

DIFFERENT RECOVERY PATTERNS OF CMV-SPECIFIC AND WT1-SPECIFIC T CELLS IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA UNDERGOING ALLO-HSCT: IMPACT OF CMV INFECTION AND LEUKEMIA RELAPSE (EBMT 2023)
Our results support that CMV reactivation, aside from the CMV-CTL reconstitution, could influence WT1-CTL reconstitution after allo-HSCT, thus potentially contributing to the remission/relapse of AML.

Overexpression of Plasmalemmal Vesicle-Associated Protein-1 Reflects Glomerular Endothelial Injury in Cases of Proliferative Glomerulonephritis with Monoclonal IgG Deposits. (PubMed, Kidney Int Rep)

Mechanism of action of DSP-7888 (adegramotide/nelatimotide) Emulsion, a peptide-based therapeutic cancer vaccine with the potential to turn up the heat on non-immunoreactive tumors. (PubMed, Clin Transl Oncol)
DSP-7888 Emulsion can promote both cytotoxic and helper T-cell-mediated immune responses against WT1-positive tumors. Adegramotide enhances CTL numbers, and the CTLs induced by treatment with both nelatimotide and adegramotide are capable of functioning within the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. The ability of anti-PD-1 to enhance the antitumor activity of DSP-7888 Emulsion in mice implanted with WT1-positive tumors suggests the potential for synergy.

Two ovarian candidate enhancers, identified by time series enhancer RNA analyses, harbor rare genetic variations identified in ovarian insufficiency. (PubMed, Hum Mol Genet)
We compared the chronological expression profiles of ovarian-specific eRNA with expression profiles for each of the ovarian specific genes, yielding two candidate sequences for enhancers of Wnt4 and Rspo1...Further, by sequencing the region in patients with impaired ovarian development in 24 patients, such as POI, gonadal dysgenesis and 46,XX DSD, we identified rare single nucleotide variants in both sequences. Our results demonstrate that combined analysis of the temporal expression profiles of eRNA and mRNA of target genes presents a powerful tool for locating cis-element enhancers, and a means of identifying disease-associated sequence variants that lie within non-coding regulatory sequences, thus advancing an important unmet need in forward human genetics.

[VIRTUAL] Uterine serous carcinoma mimicking advanced ovarian cancer – are there any clues to pre-operative diagnostic differentiation? A mini case series from a cancer centre. (BGCS 2021)
We suggest that in disseminated serous carcinoma with negative WT1 or focal/weak positivity pre-operative hysteroscopy/biopsy is considered. Whilst this may not always alter management, for patients on the border of suitability for primary surgery a preparedness to exert maximal surgical effort may be favoured on identifying USC.

We also stress that a panel of markers should always be used rather than relying on a single marker and that when the morphology is classical of an endometrioid carcinoma, diagnostic immunohistochemistry is not needed given the potential for confusion in cases showing "aberrant" staining. We also discuss the phenomenon of "aberrant" immunohistochemical staining in endometrioid carcinomas which appears more common than in other ovarian carcinomas.

Our data demonstrate increased binding of WT1 overexpressing endothelial cells by ESK-1, a human monoclonal antibody in preclinical development as adjuvant immunotherapy directed towards WT1 overexpressing malignancies. Immunotherapy directed towards WT1 may prove as a new treatment strategy in KS.
