    Abstract: This study retrospectively reviewed the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of patients with histologically diagnosed treatment-related pure small-cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer. Methods We retrospectively evaluated data for 13 patients with treatment-related neuroendocrine prostate cancer who were diagnosed between May 2015 and February 2022. Standardized systemic therapies of etoposide plus cisplatin (or carboplatin), amrubicin and nogitecan were selected as sequential treatments. Cancer-specific survival and progression-free survival were evaluated as the primary endpoint. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the relationships between treatment regimens, clinical variables, cancer-specific survival and progression-free survival. Results The median cancer-specific survival after diagnosis for all patients was 22.4 months (range 1.3–33.4 months). The median progression-free survival was 9.3 months after first-line etoposide plus cisplatin (or carboplatin) treatment (n = 13); 4.2 months after second-line amrubicin treatment (n = 4); and  & gt;15 months after third-line nogitecan treatment (n = 2). The median progression-free survival after first-line chemotherapy of the liver metastasis (−) group was 10.2 months, and that of the (+) group was 5.3 months (P = 0.015, hazard ratio = 11.6, 95% confidence interval = 1.01 – 133.7). No clinicopathological parameters were identified as significant independent predictors of cancer-specific survival in univariate analysis. Conclusion Sequential chemotherapy with etoposide plus cisplatin (or carboplatin), amrubicin and nogitecan may be helpful for patients with treatment-related pure small-cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer. Early biopsy of metastases and initiation of effective therapy is essential for patients with progressive castration-resistant prostate cancer and low prostate-specific antigen.

    Abstract: Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) based combination therapies, including anti-PD-1 antibody, nivolumab with anti-CTLA-4 antibody, and ipilimumab have become the primary treatment option for metastatic or unresectable renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, despite the combination of two ICIs, 60–70% of patients are still resistant to first-line cancer immunotherapy. In the present study, undertook combination immunotherapy for RCC using an oral cancer vaccine ( Bifidobacterium longum displaying WT1 tumor associated antigen ( B. longum 420)) with anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies in a mouse syngeneic model of RCC to explore possible synergistic effects. We found that B. longum 420 significantly improved the survival of mice bearing RCC tumors treated by anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies compared to the mice treated by the antibodies alone. This result suggests that B. longum 420 oral cancer vaccine as an adjunct to ICIs could provide a novel treatment option for RCC patients. Our microbiome analysis revealed that the proportion of Lactobacilli was significantly increased by B. longum 420. Although the detailed mechanism of action is unknown, it is possible that microbiome alteration by B. longum 420 enhances the efficacy of the ICIs.

    Abstract: Periodontitis is a bacterially induced chronic inflammatory condition of the oral cavity where tooth‐supporting tissues including alveolar bone are destructed. Previously, we have shown that the adaptor protein SH3‐domain binding protein 2 (SH3BP2) plays a critical role in inflammatory response and osteoclastogenesis of myeloid lineage cells through spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK). In this study, we show that SH3BP2 is a novel regulator for alveolar bone resorption in periodontitis. Micro‐CT analysis of SH3BP2‐deficient ( Sh3bp2 −/− ) mice challenged with ligature‐induced periodontitis revealed that Sh3bp2 −/− mice develop decreased alveolar bone loss (male 14.9% ± 10.2%; female 19.0% ± 6.0%) compared with wild‐type control mice (male 25.3% ± 5.8%; female 30.8% ± 5.8%). Lack of SH3BP2 did not change the inflammatory cytokine expression and osteoclast induction. Conditional knockout of SH3BP2 and SYK in myeloid lineage cells with LysM‐Cre mice recapitulated the reduced bone loss without affecting both inflammatory cytokine expression and osteoclast induction, suggesting that the SH3BP2‐SYK axis plays a key role in regulating alveolar bone loss by mechanisms that regulate the bone‐resorbing function of osteoclasts rather than differentiation. Administration of a new SYK inhibitor GS‐9973 before or after periodontitis induction reduced bone resorption without affecting inflammatory reaction in gingival tissues. In vitro, GS‐9973 treatment of bone marrow–derived M‐CSF‐dependent macrophages suppressed tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)‐positive osteoclast formation with decreased mineral resorption capacity even when GS‐9973 was added after RANKL stimulation. Thus, the data suggest that SH3BP2‐SYK is a novel signaling axis for regulating alveolar bone loss in periodontitis and that SYK can be a potential therapeutic target to suppress alveolar bone resorption in periodontal diseases. © 2019 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research. © 2019 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

    Abstract: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and periodontitis have long been thought to be biologically connected. Indeed, T1DM is a risk factor for periodontal disease. With the population of diabetic individuals growing, it is more important than ever to understand the negative consequences of diabetes on the periodontium and the mechanisms. The aim of this study was to find out the early effects of T1DM on the periodontium without any experimentally induced periodontitis. Methods We established the streptozotocin (STZ)‐induced diabetic mouse model and examined the periodontium 8 weeks later by histology, molecular and cellular assays. Microcomputed tomographic ( 𝜇 CT) imaging and in vivo fluorochrome labeling were also used to quantify bone volume and mineral apposition rates (MAR). Results The histologic appearance of epithelium tissue, connective tissue, and periodontal ligament in the diabetic condition was comparable with that of control mice. However, immune cell infiltration in the gingiva was dramatically elevated in the diabetic mice, which was accompanied by unmineralized connective tissue degeneration. Bone resorption activity was significantly increased in the diabetic mice, and quantitative 𝜇 CT demonstrated the bone volume, the ratio of bone volume over tissue volume, and cemento‐enamel junction to alveolar bone crest (CEJ‐ABC) in the diabetic condition were equivalent to those in the control group. In vivo fluorochrome labeling revealed increased MAR and bone remodeling in the diabetic mice. Further investigation found the diabetic mice had more osteoprogenitors recruited to the periodontium, allowing more bone formation to balance the enhanced bone resorption. Conclusions STZ‐induced T1DM mice, at an early stage, have elevated gingival inflammation and soft tissue degeneration and increased bone resorption; but still the alveolar bone was preserved by recruiting more osteoprogenitor cells and increasing the rate of bone formation. We conclude that inflammation and periodontitis precede alveolar bone deterioration in diabetes.

    Abstract: The performance of robot‐assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty has recently been increasing in frequency. However, patients with duplicated renal pelvises and ureters can present challenges. Case presentation A 71‐year‐old woman presented with flank pain and was diagnosed with ureteropelvic junction obstruction with an incomplete duplicated collecting system. Preoperative imaging did not reveal the details of the stenosis. Therefore, three reconstructive procedures were prepared: The Anderson–Hynes procedure, end‐to‐side pyeloureterostomy, and upper pole ureter to lower pole pyeloplasty with the Anderson–Hynes procedure for the lower pole. These procedures were determined by the length of the intact ureter and the presence of crossed vessels. During the surgery, the crossing vein was severed, allowing successful reconstruction with Anderson–Hynes anastomosis. Conclusion Preoperative evaluation and preparation of multiple surgical techniques are crucial in robot‐assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty for incomplete duplicated collecting systems.

    Abstract: Cherubism (CBM), characterized by expansile jawbones with multilocular fibrocystic lesions, is caused by gain‐of‐function mutations in SH3 domain‐binding protein 2 ( SH3BP2 ; mouse orthologue Sh3bp2 ). Loss of jawbone and dental integrity significantly decrease the quality of life for affected children. Treatment for CBM is limited to multiple surgeries to correct facial deformities. Despite significant advances made with CBM knockin (KI) mouse models ( Sh3bp2 KI/KI ), the activation mechanisms of CBM lesions remain unknown because mutant mice do not spontaneously develop expansile jawbones. We hypothesize that bony inflammation of an unknown cause triggers jawbone expansion in CBM. To introduce jawbone inflammation in a spatiotemporally controlled manner, we exposed pulp of the first right mandibular molar of 6‐week‐old Sh3bp2 +/+ , Sh3bp2 KI/+ , and Sh3bp2 KI/KI mice. Bacterial invasion from the exposed pulp into root canals led to apical periodontitis in wild‐type and mutant mice. The pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs)‐induced inflammation of alveolar bone resulted in jawbone expansion in Sh3bp2 KI/+ and Sh3bp2 KI/KI mice. CBM‐like lesions developed exacerbated inflammation with increased neutrophil, macrophage, and osteoclast numbers. These lesions displayed excessive neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) compared to Sh3bp2 +/+ mice. Expression levels of IL‐1β , IL‐6 , and TNF‐α were increased in periapical lesions of Sh3bp2 +/+ , Sh3bp2 KI/+ , and Sh3bp2 KI/KI mice and also in plasma and the left untreated mandibles (with no pulp exposure) of Sh3bp2 KI/KI mice, suggesting a systemic upregulation. Ablation of Tlr2/4 signaling or depletion of neutrophils by Ly6G antibodies ameliorated jawbone expansion induced by PAMPs in Sh3bp2 KI/KI mice. In summary, successful induction of CBM‐like lesions in jaws of CBM mice is important for studying initiating mechanisms of CBM and for testing potential therapies. Our findings further emphasize a critical role of host immunity in the development of apical periodontitis and the importance of maintaining oral health in CBM patients. © 2021 The Authors.

    Abstract: The impact of bone cell activation on bacterially-induced osteolysis remains elusive. Here, we show that matrix-embedded osteocytes stimulated with bacterial pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) directly drive bone resorption through an MYD88-regulated signaling pathway. Mice lacking MYD88, primarily in osteocytes, protect against osteolysis caused by calvarial injections of bacterial PAMPs and resist alveolar bone resorption induced by oral Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg ) infection. In contrast, mice with targeted MYD88 restoration in osteocytes exhibit osteolysis with inflammatory cell infiltration. In vitro, bacterial PAMPs induce significantly higher expression of the cytokine RANKL in osteocytes than osteoblasts. Mechanistically, activation of the osteocyte MYD88 pathway up-regulates RANKL by increasing binding of the transcription factors CREB and STAT3 to Rankl enhancers and by suppressing K48-ubiquitination of CREB/CREB binding protein and STAT3. Systemic administration of an MYD88 inhibitor prevents jawbone loss in Pg -driven periodontitis. These findings reveal that osteocytes directly regulate inflammatory osteolysis in bone infection, suggesting that MYD88 and downstream RANKL regulators in osteocytes are therapeutic targets for osteolysis in periodontitis and osteomyelitis.
