RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To review tumors identified as "clear cell sarcoma" in order to determine similarities to the rare EWS fusion positive jaw and salivary gland tumors clear cell odontogenic carcinoma (CCOC) and clear cell carcinoma of the salivary gland (CCC). METHODS: PubMed was used to collect all reports of clear cell sarcoma (CCS). Search parameters were "clear cell sarcoma" and "CCS." References in the publications were screened and cross-referenced. Data extracted included demographic characteristics, presenting signs and symptoms, radiographic findings, histological and immunohistochemical features and known molecular/genetic aberrations. RESULTS: Clear cell sarcoma has several similarities to CCOC and CCC. All three tumor types have similar histologic appearances including the presence of clear cells, as well as similar genetic profiles in that all harbor an EWSR1-CREB family fusions. Additionally, these tumors appear in soft tissue as well as bone, and can have a prolonged clinical course. CCS can appear anywhere in the body, including the head and neck region. All three tumors appear to have a predilection to women, although CCS may have a slight younger age of onset as compared to CCOC and CCC (3rd vs 5th decade of life, respectively). CONCLUSION: Gaining a better understanding of the similarities and differences between these three tumors may lead to a better understanding of each one.

BACKGROUND: The developing field of osteoimmunology supports importance of an interferon (IFN) response pathway in osteoblasts. Clarifying osteoblast-IFN interactions is important because IFN is used as salvage anti-tumor therapy but systemic toxicity is high with variable clinical results. In addition, osteoblast response to systemic bursts and disruptions of IFN pathways induced by viral infection may influence bone remodeling. ZIKA virus (ZIKV) infection impacts bone development in humans and IFN response in vitro. Consistently, initial evidence of permissivity to ZIKV has been reported in human osteoblasts. HYPOTHESIS: Osteoblast-like Saos-2 cells are permissive to ZIKV and responsive to IFN. METHODS: Multiple approaches were used to assess whether Saos-2 cells are permissive to ZIKV infection and exhibit IFN-mediated ZIKV suppression. Proteomic methods were used to evaluate impact of ZIKV and IFN on Saos-2 cells. RESULTS: Evidence is presented confirming Saos-2 cells are permissive to ZIKV and support IFN-mediated suppression of ZIKV. ZIKV and IFN differentially impact the Saos-2 proteome, exemplified by HELZ2 protein which is upregulated by IFN but non responsive to ZIKV. Both ZIKV and IFN suppress proteins associated with microcephaly/pseudo-TORCH syndrome (BI1, KI20A and UBP18), and ZIKV induces potential entry factor PLVAP. CONCLUSIONS: Transient ZIKV infection influences osteoimmune state, and IFN and ZIKV activate distinct proteomes in Saos-2 cells, which could inform therapeutic, engineered, disruptions.
