RESUMEN
Cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) is an intracellular stress-response protein and a type of damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) that responds to various stress stimulus by altering its expression and mRNA stability. Upon exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light or low temperature, CIRP get translocated from the nucleus to the cytoplasm through methylation modification and stored in stress granules (SG). During exosome biogenesis, which involves formation of endosomes from the cell membrane through endocytosis, CIRP also gets packaged within the endosomes along with DNA, and RNA and other proteins. Subsequently, intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) are formed following the inward budding of the endosomal membrane, turning the endosomes into multi-vesicle bodies (MVBs). Finally, the MVBs fuse with the cell membrane to form exosomes. As a result, CIRP can also be secreted out of cells through the lysosomal pathway as Extracellular CIRP (eCIRP). Extracellular CIRP (eCIRP) is implicated in various conditions, including sepsis, ischemia-reperfusion damage, lung injury, and neuroinflammation, through the release of exosomes. In addition, CIRP interacts with TLR4, TREM-1, and IL-6R, and therefore are involved in triggering immune and inflammatory responses. Accordingly, eCIRP has been studied as potential novel targets for disease therapy. C23 and M3, polypeptides that oppose eCIRP binding to its receptors, are beneficial in numerous inflammatory illnesses. Some natural molecules such as Luteolin and Emodin can also antagonize CIRP, which play roles similar to C23 in inflammatory responses and inhibit macrophage-mediated inflammation. This review aims to provide a better understanding on CIRP translocation and secretion from the nucleus to the extracellular space and the mechanisms and inhibitory roles of eCIRP in diverse inflammatory illnesses.

BACKGROUND: PALB2, a gene in the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway of the DNA damage response (DDR), is associated with the efficacy of platinum-based chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and PARP inhibitor therapy in several tumors. However, the PALB2 characteristics, its correlation with immunotherapy biomarker, and the prognostic effect of immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were unknown. METHODS: Tumor tissue samples from advanced Chinese NSCLC patients were analyzed by next-generation sequencing (NGS) (panel on 381/733-gene). Tumor mutation burden (TMB) is defined as the total number of somatic non-synonymous mutations in the coding region. Microsatellite instability (MSI) was evaluated by NGS of 500 known MSI loci. Programmed Cell Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression was evaluated using immunohistochemistry (Dako 22C3 or SP263). One independent cohort (Rizvi2018.NSCLC.240.NGS cohort) containing genomic and clinical data from 240 patients with advanced NSCLC and two cohorts (the OAK and POPLAR study cohort) containing genomic and clinical data from 429 patients with advanced NSCLC were used to analyze the prognostic effect of PALB2 on immunotherapy. RESULTS: Genetic mutation of 5,227 NSCLC patients were analyzed using NGS, of which 162 (3.1%) harbored germline PALB2 mutation (PALB2gmut ) and 87 (1.66%) harbored somatic PALB2 mutation (PALB2 smut). In NSCLC patients with PALB2gmut and PALB2smut , the most frequently mutated gene was TP53 (65%, 64%). PALB2smut (14.52 Muts/Mb) was associated with higher TMB (p < 0.001) than PALB wild-type (PALB2wt ) (6.15 Muts/Mb). However, there was no significant difference in TMB between PALB2gmut (6.45 Muts/Mb) and PALB2 wt (6.15 Muts/Mb) (p = 0.64). There was no difference in PD-L1 expression among PALB2gmut , PALB2smut , and PALB2wt . In the Rizvi2018.NSCLC.240.NGS cohort, there was no difference in progression-free survival (PFS) (HR =1.06, p = 0.93) between PALB2 mutation (3.15 months) and PALB2wt (3.17 months). The OAK and POPLAR study cohort of NSCLC patients showed that there was no difference in overall survival (OS) (HR =1.1, p = 0.75) between PALB2 mutation (10.38 months) and PALB2wt (11.07 months). CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that PALB2 may not be used as a biomarker for determining prognosis on immunotherapy in NSCLC.
