RESUMEN

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) is a multisystem disorder that occurs in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic (alloHCT) stem cell transplants and is characterized by both inflammatory and fibrotic manifestations. It begins with the recognition of host tissues by the non-self (allogeneic) graft and progresses to tissue inflammation, organ dysfunction and fibrosis throughout the body. Oral cavity manifestations of cGVHD include mucosal features, salivary gland dysfunction and fibrosis. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of oral cGVHD, with a focus on emerging trends and novel therapeutics. Data from various clinical studies and expert consensus are integrated to provide a comprehensive overview.

RESUMEN

Elevated pernio incidence was observed during the COVID-19 pandemic. This prospective study enrolled subjects with pandemic-associated pernio in Wisconsin and Switzerland. Because pernio is a cutaneous manifestation of the interferonopathies, and type I interferon (IFN-I) immunity is critical to COVID-19 recovery, we tested the hypothesis that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-mediated IFN-I signaling might underlie some pernio cases. Tissue-level IFN-I activity and plasmacytoid dendritic cell infiltrates were demonstrated in 100% of the Wisconsin cases. Across both cohorts, sparse SARS-CoV-2 RNA was captured in 25% (6/22) of biopsies, all with high inflammation. Affected patients lacked adaptive immunity to SARS-CoV-2. A hamster model of intranasal SARS-CoV-2 infection was used as a proof-of-principle experiment: RNA was detected in lungs and toes with IFN-I activity at both the sites, while replicating virus was found only in the lung. These data support a viral trigger for some pernio cases, where sustained local IFN-I activity can be triggered in the absence of seroconversion.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Whether and how the oral microbiome and its changes in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) recipients may contribute to oral chronic GVHD (cGVHD) pathogenesis is unknown. In addition, although the oral and colonic microbiota are distinct in healthy adults, whether oral microbes may ectopically colonize the gut in alloHCT patients is unknown. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: To address these knowledge gaps, longitudinal oral and fecal samples were collected prospectively in the multicenter Close Assessment and Testing for Chronic GVHD study (NCT04188912). Through shotgun metagenomic sequencing of the samples collected at baseline, oral cGVHD onset, first post-cGVHD onset visit, and 1-year post-HCT time points in patients with oral cGVHD (cases; N = 29) or without any cGVHD (controls; N = 51), we examined whether (i) oral and/or gut microbiomes and their longitudinal trajectories differ between cases and controls and (ii) oral and gut microbiomes overlap in alloHCT recipients, especially those developing cGVHD. RESULTS: A total of 195 samples were analyzed. The onset of oral cGVHD was characterized by an expansion of Streptococcus salivarius and Veillonella parvula in the oral microbiome. High levels of oral/gut microbiota overlap were observed, particularly in patients with oral cGVHD, suggesting ectopic colonization of the gut by oral bacteria. CONCLUSIONS: The unusual coalescence of two distant niches in these patients may result in short- or long-term consequences for the host, a novel avenue for future research. In addition, this study suggests a contribution of the oral microbiome to oral cGVHD pathogenesis.

RESUMEN

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a major complication of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation and a leading cause of long-term morbidity, nonrelapse mortality, and impaired health-related quality of life. The skin is commonly affected and presents heterogeneously, making the role of dermatologists critical in both diagnosis and treatment. In addition, new clinical classification and grading schemes inform treatment algorithms, which now include 3 Federal Drug Administration-approved therapies, and evolving transplant techniques are changing disease epidemiology. Part I reviews the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and diagnosis of cGVHD. Part II discusses disease grading and therapeutic management.

RESUMEN

Patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) are at heightened risk for components of metabolic syndrome (MetS), yet the prevalence and impact of MetS in the cGVHD patient population remain unknown. Adult patients (n = 229) with cGVHD enrolled in the cross-sectional NIH cGVHD Natural History Study (NCT00092235) were evaluated for MetS at enrollment and for variables associated with MetS. A majority (54.1%, 124/229) of the cohort met the diagnostic criteria for MetS. Patients with higher body mass index and lower performance status scores were more likely to have MetS (P < 0.0001; P = 0.026; respectively). Higher circulating erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, and creatinine concentrations, along with lower estimated glomerular filtration rate, were associated with MetS (P < 0.001; P < 0.004; P = 0.02; P = 0.002; respectively). Patients with MetS compared to patients without MetS had no statistical differences in survival or NRM (5-year OS: 64% [95% CI: 54.8-71.8%] vs. 75.1% [95% CI: 65.6-82.3%]; respectively; overall P = 0.20; 5-year NRM: 21.7% [95% CI: 13.6-30.9%] vs. 10.1% [95% CI: 4.4-18.7%]; respectively; overall P = 0.12). Additionally, there was no difference in cGVHD severity between the two groups. Given the high prevalence of MetS in this cohort, clinicians should screen for its presence before it develops into comorbidities that complicate the course of cGVHD treatment.

RESUMEN

Kidney complications have been studied in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients but not specifically among chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) patients. Participants (n = 365) enrolled in the cross-sectional cGVHD natural history study (NCT00092235) were assessed for kidney dysfunction and overall survival. Kidney dysfunction was analyzed for associations in univariate and multivariable analyses. Kidney dysfunction (eGFR < 60) was found in 64 patients, and 29 patients had moderate-severe kidney dysfunction (eGFR < 45). Patients with kidney dysfunction were more likely treated with cyclosporine at evaluation or to have received it for GVHD prophylaxis, or prior treatment of GVHD. Patients with kidney dysfunction were less severely affected by cGVHD of skin, mouth, and joints/fascia. In multivariable modeling, history of cyclosporine use (OR = 2.19, 95% CI 1.13-4.25), angiotensin receptor blocker use (OR = 5.57, 95% CI 1.49-20.84), proteinuria (OR = 2.39, 95% CI 1.19-4.79), lower CRP (OR = 0.95, 95% CI 0.91-0.99), lower C3 (OR = 0.98, 95% CI 0.97-0.99), and lower hemoglobin (OR = 0.70, 95% CI 0.58-0.84) were jointly associated with kidney dysfunction. Overall survival was lower in those with moderate-severe kidney dysfunction (p = 0.015), demonstrating the importance of addressing kidney dysfunction in this population. The association of kidney dysfunction with less severe cGVHD suggests an etiology unrelated to cGVHD but potentially a consequence of drug-related toxicities.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Biologic agents are rapidly emerging as an effective therapy to treat autoimmune and other chronic diseases. The use of these agents is poorly characterized, resulting in a lack of guidance for dental practitioners. Case reports of oral adverse events have begun to emerge. However, their scope and frequency have not been summarized and analysed to date. The objective of this review was to characterize the literature on oral adverse effects associated with biological therapy when used for autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. METHODS: This review was developed in accordance with scoping review recommendations. Search strategies were developed and employed for six databases. Studies were selected using a systematic search process but with broad inclusion of study types given the paucity of information available. Reports of oral adverse events were analysed descriptively according to agent, mechanism of action, underlying disease, and oral adverse effect observed. RESULTS: Our search returned 2080 articles and 51 met our inclusion criteria, of which most were case reports. The most frequent adverse effects included angioedema, oral lichenoid lesions, osteonecrosis of the jaw, and oral infections. There were also cases of oral malignancies associated with use of biologic agents. Less common effects such as pigmentation were also described. CONCLUSIONS: Oral adverse events have been reported in patients on biologic therapy, albeit in small numbers to date. This limits the generalizability of these results, which should not be used to generate a clinical guideline as they are based primarily on case reports. However, this study presents the first review characterizing the adverse effects observed. Large multi-center studies will be necessary to further define the oral and dental complications caused by biologic agents.

RESUMEN

Dysregulation in neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation and degradation may play a role in the pathogenesis and severity of COVID-19; however, its role in the pediatric manifestations of this disease, including multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and chilblain-like lesions (CLLs), otherwise known as "COVID toes," remains unclear. Studying multinational cohorts, we found that, in CLLs, NETs were significantly increased in serum and skin. There was geographic variability in the prevalence of increased NETs in MIS-C, in association with disease severity. MIS-C and CLL serum samples displayed decreased NET degradation ability, in association with C1q and G-actin or anti-NET antibodies, respectively, but not with genetic variants of DNases. In adult COVID-19, persistent elevations in NETs after disease diagnosis were detected but did not occur in asymptomatic infection. COVID-19-affected adults displayed significant prevalence of impaired NET degradation, in association with anti-DNase1L3, G-actin, and specific disease manifestations, but not with genetic variants of DNases. NETs were detected in many organs of adult patients who died from COVID-19 complications. Infection with the Omicron variant was associated with decreased NET levels when compared with other SARS-CoV-2 strains. These data support a role for NETs in the pathogenesis and severity of COVID-19 in pediatric and adult patients.

RESUMEN

Fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10) is well established as a mesenchyme-derived growth factor and a critical regulator of fetal organ development in mice and humans. Using a single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) atlas of salivary gland (SG) and a tamoxifen inducible Fgf10CreERT2:R26-tdTomato mouse, we show that FGF10pos cells are exclusively mesenchymal until postnatal day 5 (P5) but, after P7, there is a switch in expression and only epithelial FGF10pos cells are observed after P15. Further RNA-seq analysis of sorted mesenchymal and epithelial FGF10pos cells shows that the epithelial FGF10pos population express the hallmarks of ancient ionocyte signature Forkhead box i1 and 2 (Foxi1, Foxi2), Achaete-scute homolog 3 (Ascl3), and the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (Cftr). We propose that epithelial FGF10pos cells are specialized SG ionocytes located in ducts and important for the ionic modification of saliva. In addition, they maintain FGF10-dependent gland homeostasis via communication with FGFR2bpos ductal and myoepithelial cells.

MIS-C and CLL serum samples displayed decreased NET degradation ability, in association with C1q and G-actin or anti-NET antibodies, respectively, but not with genetic variants of DNases. In adult COVID-19, persistent elevations in NETs post-disease diagnosis were detected but did not occur in asymptomatic infection. COVID-19-affected adults displayed significant prevalence of impaired NET degradation, in association with anti-DNase1L3, G-actin, and specific disease manifestations, but not with genetic variants of DNases. NETs were detected in many organs of adult patients who died from COVID-19 complications. Infection with the Omicron variant was associated with decreased levels of NETs when compared to other SARS-CoV-2 strains. These data support a role for NETs in the pathogenesis and severity of COVID-19 in pediatric and adult patients. Summary: NET formation and degradation are dysregulated in pediatric and symptomatic adult patients with various complications of COVID-19, in association with disease severity. NET degradation impairments are multifactorial and associated with natural inhibitors of DNase 1, G-actin and anti-DNase1L3 and anti-NET antibodies. Infection with the Omicron variant is associated with decreased levels of NETs when compared to other SARS-CoV-2 strains.

RESUMEN

Multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) is an effective technique for the maximal visualization of multiple target proteins in situ. This powerful tool is mainly limited by the spectral overlap of the currently available synthetic fluorescent dyes. The fluorescence excitation wavelengths ranging between 405 and 488 nm are rarely used in mIF imaging and serve as a logical additional slot for a fluorescent probe. In the present study, we demonstrate that the addition of 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluoroaniline to Atto 465 NHS ester, creating Atto 465-pentafluoroaniline (Atto 465-p), generates a bright nuclear stain in the violet-blue region of the visible spectrum. This allows the 405 nm excitation and emission, classically used for nuclear counterstains, to be used for the detection of another target protein. This increases the flexibility of the mIF panel and, with appropriate staining and microscopy, enables the quantitative analysis of at least six targets in one tissue section.

RESUMEN

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) targets include the oral mucosa and salivary glands after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Without incisional biopsy, no diagnostic test exists to confirm oral cGVHD. Consequently, therapy is often withheld until severe manifestations develop. This proteomic study examined saliva and human salivary gland for a biomarker profile at first onset of oral cGVHD prior to initiation of topical steroid therapy. Whole saliva collected at onset of biopsy-proven oral GVHD was assessed using liquid chromatography-coupled tandem mass spectrometry with identification of 569 proteins, of which 77 significantly changed in abundance. ZG16B, a secretory lectin protein, was reduced 2-fold in oral cGVHD saliva (p <0.05), and significantly decreased in salivary gland secretory cells affected by cGVHD. Single-cell RNA-seq analysis of healthy MSG localized ZG16B expression to two discrete acinar cell populations. Reduced ZG16B expression may indicate specific cGVHD activity and possibly general salivary gland dysfunction.

RESUMEN

Despite thousands of reported patients with pandemic-associated pernio, low rates of seroconversion and PCR positivity have defied causative linkage to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Pernio in uninfected children is associated with monogenic disorders of excessive IFN-1 immunity, whereas severe COVID-19 pneumonia can result from insufficient IFN-1. Moreover, SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and robust IFN-1 response are seen in the skin of patients with pandemic-associated pernio, suggesting an excessive innate immune skin response to SARS-CoV-2. Understanding the pathophysiology of this phenomenon may elucidate the host mechanisms that drive a resilient immune response to SARS-CoV-2 and could produce relevant therapeutic targets.

RESUMEN

Subsequent cancer (SC) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in long-term survivors after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) and treatment-related immunosuppression have been recognized as risk factors for SC. This study sought to investigate the incidence and risk factors for SC in patients with established cGVHD, assessed separately for onset of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)-categorized into nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC)-and all cancers other than NMSC. Two hundred and four patients were enrolled in the prospective cross-sectional cGVHD Natural History Study and underwent comprehensive clinical evaluation. Patients were followed-up with an annual survey. The cumulative incidences of NMSC and cancers other than NMSC with competing risks were estimated separately, and transplantation- and cGVHD-related factors were assessed for association with outcomes using Gray's test and multivariable Cox models. The time period for all analyses began at 2 years postevaluation to restrict analyses to patients presumed to not have had SC present at evaluation. Nineteen patients were diagnosed with NMSC and 19 were diagnosed with cancers other than NMSC, with 10-year cumulative incidences of 15.5% (95% confidence interval, 9.0% to 27.6%) and 13.8% (95% CI, 8.2% to 20.8%), respectively. Age at transplantation (hazard ratio [HR], 1.94; 95% CI, 1.23 to 3.06) and higher C-reactive protein level at evaluation (HR, 9.49; 95% CI, 1.26 to 71.58) were jointly associated with NMSC, and gastrointestinal cGVHD at evaluation (HR, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.09 to 0.78) was associated with reduced risk of NMSC. T cell depletion at transplantation (HR, 3.09; 95% CI, 1.17 to 8.20), lymphoma as an indication for transplantation (HR, 3.96; 95% CI, 1.56 to 10.05), and oral cGVHD severity at evaluation (HR, 4.36; 95% CI, 1.52 to 12.46) were jointly associated with cancers other than NMSC. This study estimates the incidence of SC in a population of allo-HSCT recipients with severe cGVHD and identifies correlations with the subsequent development of SC. These factors seem to differ between NMSC and cancers other than NMSC. Further longitudinal investigations accounting for dynamic and cumulative processes are needed to improve our understanding and management of SC.

RESUMEN

Preventing chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remains challenging because the unique cellular and molecular pathways that incite chronic GVHD are poorly understood. One major point of intervention for potential prevention of chronic GVHD occurs at the time of transplantation when acute donor anti-recipient immune responses first set the events in motion that result in chronic GVHD. After transplantation, additional insults causing tissue injury can incite aberrant immune responses and loss of tolerance, further contributing to chronic GVHD. Points of intervention are actively being identified so that chronic GVHD initiation pathways can be targeted without affecting immune function. The major objective in the field is to continue basic studies and to translate what is learned about etiopathology to develop targeted prevention strategies that decrease the risk of morbid chronic GVHD without increasing the risks of cancer relapse or infection. Development of strategies to predict the risk of developing debilitating or deadly chronic GVHD is a high research priority. This working group recommends further interrogation into the mechanisms underpinning chronic GVHD development, and we highlight considerations for future trial design in prevention trials.

RESUMEN

Malignancy relapse remains a major barrier to treatment success in patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) markedly reduces hematologic malignancy relapse risk, but relapses still occur in these patients. Patients (n = 275) with moderate or severe cGVHD were enrolled on the National Cancer Institute (NCI) prospective cross-sectional natural history study (NCT00092235). Subjects were median 36 months after allo-HSCT and were followed subsequently for malignancy relapse and survival. Seventeen patients experienced relapse. In a multivariable model including time-dependent influences on relapse, risk factors associated with increased risk of relapse included shorter time from transplant to cGVHD evaluation (HR 0.279, 95% CI 0.078-0.995) and lower number of prior lines of systemic immunosuppressive therapy for cGVHD (HR 0.260, 95% CI 0.094-0.719). In a model excluding time-dependent influences on relapse risk, lower number of prior lines of systemic immunosuppressive therapy for cGVHD (HR 0.288, 95% CI 0.103-0.804), lower C4 complement level (HR 0.346, 95% CI 0.129-0.923), and higher body mass index (HR 3.222, 95% CI 1.156-8.974), were all associated with increased relapse risk. Parameters indicating cGVHD severity and activity are associated with risk of malignancy relapse. Classical predictors of relapse after allo-HSCT do not seem to be prognostic.

RESUMEN

Steroid-refractory chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a therapeutic challenge. Sclerotic skin manifestations are especially difficult to treat. We conducted a randomized phase 2 clinical trial (#NCT01688466) to determine the safety, efficacy, and preferred dose of pomalidomide in persons with moderate to severe cGVHD unresponsive to corticosteroids and/or subsequent lines of therapy. Thirty-four subjects were randomized to receive pomalidomide 0.5 mg per day orally (n = 17; low-dose cohort) or 2 mg per day at a starting dose of 0.5 mg per day increasing to 2 mg per day over 6 weeks (n = 17; high-dose cohort). The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) at 6 months according to the 2005 National Institutes of Health cGVHD Response Criteria. Thirty-two patients had severe sclerotic skin and received a median of 5 (range, 2-10) previous systemic therapies. ORR was 47% (95% confidence interval, 30-65) in the intention-to-treat analyses. All were partial responses, with no difference in ORR between the cohorts. ORR was 67% (45%-84%) in the 24 evaluable subjects at 6 months. Nine had improvement in National Institutes of Health joint/fascia scores (P = .018). Median change from the baseline in body surface area involvement of skin cGVHD was -7.5% (-10% to 35%; P = .002). The most frequent adverse events were lymphopenia, infection, and fatigue. Eight subjects in the high-dose cohort had dose decreases because of adverse events. There was 1 death in the low-dose cohort from bacterial pneumonia. Our data indicate antifibrotic effects of pomalidomide and possible association with increases in concentrations of blood regulatory T-cell and interleukin-2. Pomalidomide 0.5 mg per day is a safe and effective therapy for advanced corticosteroid-refractory cGVHD.
