RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: High interleukin-8 (IL-8) levels have been linked to poor prognosis in lung cancer, but conclusive data are lacking. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted on April 1st, 2023, from electronic databases, focusing on studies with IL-8 expression evaluations and the availability of hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and disease-free survival (DFS) or adequate data for their estimation. Then, we examined IL-8 and CXCR1 RNA-seq data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset, and we correlated these data with OS. RESULTS: Among 2655 produced records, 10 manuscripts involving both non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer, were included in the analysis. Two manuscripts and one study included two and three different cohorts, respectively, for a total of 14 cohorts of patients. Overall, 4 cohorts evaluated IL-8 levels in patients treated with chemotherapy, 3 cohorts immunotherapy, 2 cohorts surgical patients and 4 cohorts other treatments; 1 cohort was removed, as the type of treatments was lacking. The 12 cohorts included in the OS analysis revealed that patients with high IL-8 levels have a lower OS probability, as compared to patients with low IL-8 levels (HR=1.75, 95 % CI 1.36-2.26). No significant difference between patients with high and low IL-8 levels was observed in the 8 cohorts available for PFS analysis. Sensitivity analysis according to treatment revealed significant PFS and OS differences for patients treated with chemotherapy or immunotherapy. Analysis of RNA-seq data from TCGA, confirmed the correlation between high IL-8 and CXCR1 expression and worse OS in patients with resected lung cancer. CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first meta-analysis demonstrating a negative prognostic impact of high IL-8 level in lung cancer, particularly in patients treated with chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy.

RESUMEN

The cross-talk between the innate and adaptive immune response represents the first defense weapon against the threat of pathogens. Substantial evidence has shown a relationship between immune phenotype lymphocytes and COVID-19 disease severity and/or implication in susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Recently, belonging to ABO blood groups has been investigated as a correlation factor to COVID-19 disease. This pilot study investigated lymphocyte typing in a cohort of blood donors to understand the underlying mechanism in SARS-CoV-2 infection linked to the blood group. The study cohort consisted of 20-64-year-old subjects, without comorbidities, from both sexes, who were COVID-19 vaccinated with previous or no infection history. Whole blood samples, collected at A.O.R.N. Sant'Anna and San Sebastiano Hospital (Campania Region), were processed by multiparametric cytofluorimetric assay, to characterize CD4+ helper and CD8+ cytotoxic T cell CD3+ subpopulations. The CD45RA, CCR7, CD27, CD28, CD57 and PD-1 markers were investigated to delineate the peripheral T-cell maturation stages. Differences were detected in ABO blood types in CD3+, CD4+ gated on CD3+, CD8+ and CD8+ gated on CD3+ percentage. These results contribute to identifying a memory cell "identikit" profile in COVID-19 disease, thus leading to a useful tool in precision medicine.

RESUMEN

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused a global pandemic in the years 2020-2022. With a high prevalence, an easy route of transmission, and a long incubation time, SARS-CoV-2 spread quickly and affected public health and socioeconomic conditions. Several points need to be elucidated about its mechanisms of infection, in particular, its capability to evade the immune system and escape from neutralizing antibodies. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are phospholipid bilayer-delimited particles that are involved in cell-to-cell communication; they contain biological information such as miRNAs, proteins, nucleic acids, and viral components. Abundantly released from biological fluids, their dimensions are highly variable, which are used to divide them into exosomes (40 to 150 nm), microvesicles (40 to 10,000 nm), and apoptotic bodies (100-5000 nm). EVs are involved in many physiological and pathological processes. In this article, we report the latest evidence about EVs' roles in viral infections, focusing on the dual role of exosomes in promoting and inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 infection. The involvement of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) and MSC-derived EVs in COVID-19 treatment, such as the use of translational exosomes as a diagnostical/therapeutic approach, is also investigated. These elucidations could be useful to better direct the discovery of future diagnostical tools and new exosome-derived COVID-19 biomarkers, which can help achieve optimal therapeutic interventions and implement future vaccine strategies.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To assess the prognostic impact of TP53 mutations in EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC patients treated with TKIs. METHODS: Studies exploring the clinical outcomes of EGFR mutant/TP53 wild-type versus EGFR/TP53 co-mutant patients treated with TKIs were selected. Data were cumulated by adopting a fixed and random-effect model. RESULTS: Overall, 29 trials were eligible. The PFS analysis showed that TP53 co-mutant group has shorter PFS versus EGFR mutant/TP53 wild-type group (HR = 1.67, 95% CI 1.51-1.83, heterogeneity I2 =20%, p = 0.18). Patients affected by EGFR/TP53 co-mutant NSCLC have a higher chance of shorter OS versus EGFR mutant/TP53 wild type (HR= 1.89, 95% CI 1.67-2.14, heterogeneity I2 = 21%; p = 0.19). The subgroup analysis showed no significant difference between first-second versus third-generation TKIs in both PFS and OS (p = 0.31, p = 0.08). CONCLUSIONS: TP53 mutations represent a clinically relevant mechanism of resistance to EGFR-TKIs, regardless of their generation. A personalized therapeutical approach should be explored in dedicated clinical trials.
