    Kurzfassung: Group A rotaviruses (RVAs) are the most common etiological agents of severe acute diarrhea among children under 5 years old worldwide. At present, two live-attenuated RVA vaccines, LLR (G10P[15]) and RotaTeq (G1–G4, G6 P[8] , P[5]), have been introduced to mainland China. Although RVA vaccines can provide homotypic and partially heterotypic protection against several strains, it is necessary to explore the genetic and antigenic variations between circulating RVAs and vaccine strains. In this study, we sequenced viral protein VP7 and VP4 outer capsid proteins of 50 RVA strains circulating in China from 2016 to 2019. The VP7 and VP4 sequences of almost all strains showed high homology to those of previously reported human strains and vaccine strains of the same genotype. However, in the presumed antigenic epitopes of the VP7 and VP4, multiple amino acid variations were found, regardless of the G and P genotypes of these strains. Moreover, all circulating G3 RVA strains in China potentially possess an extra N-linked glycosylation site compared with the G3 strain of RotaTeq. The potential N-linked glycosylation site at residues 69–71 was found in all G9 strains in China but not in the G9 strain of the Rotavac or Rotasill vaccine. These variations in antigenic sites might result in the selection of strains that escape the RVA neutralizing-antibody pressure imposed by vaccines. Furthermore, the G4 and P[6] genotypes in this study showed high homology to those of porcine strains, indicating the transmission of G4 and P[6] genotypes from pigs to humans in China. More genetic surveillance with antigenic evaluation in prevalent RVAs is necessary for developing and implementing rotavirus vaccines in China.

    Kurzfassung: More and more studies have investigated the association between maternal exposure to ambient air pollution during pregnancy and incidence of congenital heart defects (CHDs), but results are controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate whether maternal exposure to air pollutants (PM 10 , PM 2.5 , NO 2 , CO, SO 2 ) are associated with an increased risk of congenital heart defects in Suzhou city, China. Methods Based on the birth defect monitoring system of Suzhou city and the Environmental Health Department of Suzhou CDC, the birth defect monitoring data and concentrations of five air pollutants (PM 10 , PM 2.5 , NO 2 , CO, SO 2 ) in Suzhou city from 2015 to 2019 were obtained. The distribution of demographic characteristics of children with birth defects and exposure to air pollutant concentrations during different pregnancy periods were analyzed, Chi-square test was used to analyze whether there were statistical differences in the distribution of parturient woman age, pregnant weeks, times of pregnancy, as well as fetal sex and birth weight among children with congenital heart defects and other defects. Logistic regression model was further established to calculate the adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association between exposure to these ambient air pollutants during pregnancy and CHDs. Results A total of 5,213 infants with birth defects were recruited in this study from 2015 to 2019, the top five birth defects in Suzhou were syndactyly, congenital heart disease, ear malformation, cleft lip and palate, and hypospadias, and the proportion of congenital heart disease increased. The level of maternal exposures (mean ± sd) was highest in first trimester amongst pregnant women in Suzhou city. Compared to other birth defects, we observed significant increasing associations between PM 2.5 exposure during second and third trimester with risk of CHDs, aORs were 1.228 and 1.236 (95% CI: 1.141–1.322, 1.154–1.324 separately) per a 10 μg/m 3 change in PM 2.5 concentration. Maternal NO 2 exposure was significantly associated with CHDs in first trimester (aOR = 1.318; 95% CI: 1.210–1.435). Conclusions Our study contributes to explore the current state of Suzhou air quality and the association between maternal air pollution exposure and congenital heart defects. Exposure to PM 2.5 and NO 2 is thought to increase the risk of CHDs, but comprehensive description of these associations will be needed in future studies.

    Kurzfassung: Autophagy is characterized as a cytoprotective process and inhibition of autophagy with medicinally active agents, such as chloroquine (CQ) is proposed as a prospective adjuvant therapy for cancer. Here, we examined the preclinical effects of CQ combined with the MEK inhibitor trametinib (TRA) on melanoma. We found that cotreatment of CQ and TRA markedly slowed melanoma growth induced in Tyr-CreER . Braf Ca. Pten fl/fl mice. Immunostaining showed that trametinib decreased Ki-67+ proliferating cells, and increased TUNEL+ apoptotic cells. The combo treatment induced a further decrease of Ki-67+ proliferating cells. Consistent with the in vivo findings, CQ and TRA inhibited melanoma cell proliferation in vitro , which was correlated by decreased cyclin D1 expression. In addition, we found that tissues treated with CQ and TRA had significantly decreased numbers of CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocytes and F4/80+ macrophages. Together, these results indicate that cotreatment of CQ and TRA decreases cancer cell proliferation, but also dampens immune cell infiltration. Further study is warranted to understand whether CQ-induced immune suppression inadvertently affects therapeutic benefits.

    Kurzfassung: The Southern Indian Ocean is a major reservoir for rapid carbon exchange with the atmosphere, plays a key role in the world’s carbon cycle. To understand the importance of anthropogenic CO 2 uptake in the Southern Indian Ocean, a variety of methods have been used to quantify the magnitude of the CO 2 flux between air and sea. The basic approach is based on the bulk formula—the air-sea CO 2 flux is commonly calculated by the difference in the CO 2 partial pressure between the ocean and the atmosphere, the gas transfer velocity, the surface wind speed, and the CO 2 solubility in seawater. However, relying solely on wind speed to measure the gas transfer velocity at the sea surface increases the uncertainty of CO 2 flux estimation. Recent studies have shown that the generation and breaking of ocean waves also significantly affect the gas transfer process at the air-sea interface. In this study, we highlight the impact of windseas on the process of air-sea CO 2 exchange and address its important role in CO 2 uptake in the Southern Indian Ocean. We run the WAVEWATCH III model to simulate surface waves in this region over the period from January 1 st 2002 to December 31 st 2021. Then, we use the spectral partitioning method to isolate windseas and swells from total wave fields. Finally, we calculate the CO 2 flux based on the new semiempirical equation for gas transfer velocity considering only windseas. We found that after considering windseas’ impact, the seasonal mean zonal flux (mmol/m 2 ·d) increased approximately 10%-20% compared with that calculated solely on wind speed in all seasons. Evolution of air-sea net carbon flux (PgC) increased around 5.87%-32.12% in the latest 5 years with the most significant seasonal improvement appeared in summer. Long-term trend analysis also indicated that the CO 2 absorption capacity of the whole Southern Indian Ocean gradually increased during the past 20 years. These findings extend the understanding of the roles of the Southern Indian Ocean in the global carbon cycle and are useful for making management policies associated with marine environmental protection and global climatic change mitigation.

    Kurzfassung: GATA2 is a transcription factor that is critical for the generation and survival of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). It also plays an important role in the regulation of myeloid differentiation. Accordingly, GATA2 expression is restricted to HSCs and hematopoietic progenitors as well as early erythroid cells and megakaryocytic cells. Here we identified aberrant GATA2 expression in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) by analyzing transcriptome sequencing data obtained from St. Jude Cloud. Differentially expressed genes upon GATA2 activation showed significantly myeloid-like transcription signature. Further analysis identified several tumor-associated genes as targets of GATA2 activation including BAG3 and EPOR . In addition, the correlation between KMT2A-USP2 fusion and GATA2 activation not only indicates a potential trans-activating mechanism of GATA2 but also suggests that GATA2 is a target of KMT2A-USP2. Furthermore, by integrating whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing data, we showed that GATA2 is also cis activated. A somatic focal deletion located in the GATA2 neighborhood that disrupts the boundaries of topologically associating domains was identified in one B-ALL patient with GATA2 activation. These evidences support the hypothesis that GATA2 could be involved in leukemogenesis of B-ALL and can be transcriptionally activated through multiple mechanisms. The findings of aberrant activation of GATA2 and its molecular function extend our understanding of transcriptional factor dysregulation in B-ALL.

    Kurzfassung: Using targeted exome sequencing, we studied correlations between mutations at diagnosis and transplant outcomes in 332 subjects with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) receiving allotransplantation. A total of 299 patients (299/332, 90.1%) had at least one oncogenic point mutation. In multivariable analyses, pretransplant disease status, minimal residual disease (MRD) before transplantation (pre-MRD), cytogenetic risk classification, and TP53 and FLT3-ITD high ratio mutations were independent risk factors for AML recurrence after allotransplantation (p & lt; 0.05). A nomogram for the cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) that integrated all the predictors in the multivariable model was then constructed, and the concordance index (C-index) values at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months for CIR prediction were 0.754, 0.730, 0.715, and 0.690, respectively. Moreover, calibration plots showed good agreements between the actual observation and the nomogram prediction for the 6, 12, 18, and 24 months posttransplantation CIR in the internal validation. The integrated calibration index (ICI) values were 0.008, 0.055, 0.094, and 0.136 at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months posttransplantation, respectively. With a median cutoff score of 9.73 from the nomogram, all patients could be divided into two groups, and the differences in 2-year CIR, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) between these two groups were significant (p & lt; 0.05). Taken together, the results of our study indicate that gene mutations could help to predict the outcomes of patients with AML receiving allotransplantation.

    Kurzfassung: The purpose of this study in severe aplastic anemia (SAA) patients was to compare the feasibility and efficacy of haploidentical hematological stem cell transplantation combined with a single unrelated cord blood (UCB) infusion (Haplo-cord-HSCT) or haplo-identical HSCT (Haplo-HSCT) alone. The five-year graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free or failure-free survival (GFFS) was similar between the two groups (72.4 ± 3.4% vs. 65.4 ± 5.2%, P = 0.178); however, the five-year overall survival (OS) was more favorable in the Haplo-cord-HSCT group than that in the Haplo-HSCT group (84.0 ± 2.8% vs. 72.6 ± 4.9%, P = 0.022), as was transplantation-related mortality (16.4% vs. 27.4%, P = 0.039). Multivariate analysis showed that Haplo-cord HSCT was the only independent determinant of increased OS (P = 0.013). Explorative subgroup analysis showed that only an Human leukocyte antigen-A (HLA-A) allele match between UCB and the recipient was a beneficial factor for GFFS in the Haplo-cord-HSCT group (P = 0.011). In the haplo-cord with an HLA-A match (n = 139) or mismatch (n = 32) or Haplo-HSCT groups, a haplo-cord HLA-A allele match was associated with lower I–IV and III–IV acute GVHD. The haplo-cord with an HLA-A match subgroup also had higher five-year OS than the Haplo-HSCT group (85.4 ± 3.0% vs. 72.6 ± 4.9%, P = 0.013), and higher five-year GFFS than the Haplo-cord HLA-A allele mismatch subgroup (76.2 ± 3.6% vs. 56.3 ± 8.8%, P = 0.011). These findings suggest that the coinfusion of a single UCB potentially improves survival of Haplo-HSCT in SAA patients and that an HLA-A allele-matched UCB is the preferred option.

    Kurzfassung: Background: Colorectal cancer, the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality, is prone to metastasis, especially to the liver. The pre-metastatic microenvironment comprising various resident stromal cells and immune cells is essential for metastasis. However, how the dynamic evolution of immune components facilitates pre-metastatic niche formation remains unclear. Methods: Utilizing RNA-seq data from our orthotopic colorectal cancer mouse model, we applied single sample gene set enrichment analysis and Cell type Identification By Estimating Relative Subsets Of RNA Transcripts to investigate the tumor microenvironment landscape of pre-metastatic liver, and define the exact role of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) acting in the regulation of infiltrating immune cells and gene pathways activation. Flow cytometry analysis was conducted to quantify the MDSCs levels in human and mice samples. Results: In the current work, based on the high-throughput transcriptome data, we depicted the immune cell infiltration pattern of pre-metastatic liver and highlighted MDSCs as the dominant altered cell type. Notably, flow cytometry analysis showed that high frequencies of MDSCs, was detected in the pre-metastatic liver of orthotopic colorectal cancer tumor-bearing mice, and in the peripheral blood of patients with stage I–III colorectal cancer. MDSCs accumulation in the liver drove immunosuppressive factors secretion and immune checkpoint score upregulation, consequently shaping the pre-metastatic niche with sustained immune suppression. Metabolic reprogramming such as upregulated glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and HIF-1 signaling pathways in the primary tumor was also demonstrated to correlate with MDSCs infiltration in the pre-metastatic liver. Some chemokines were identified as a potential mechanism for MDSCs recruitment. Conclusion: Collectively, our study elucidates the alterations of MDSCs during pre-metastatic niche transformation, and illuminates the latent biological mechanism by which primary tumors impact MDSC aggregation in the targeted liver.

    Kurzfassung: The diagnostic value of procalcitonin and the prognostic role of PCT clearance remain unclear in neutropenic period after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation introduction. This study evaluated 219 febrile neutropenic patients (116, retrospectively; 103, prospectively) who underwent allo-HSCT from April 2014 to March 2016. The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) of PCT for detecting documented infection (DI) was 0.637, and that of bloodstream infection (BSI) was 0.811. In multivariate analysis, the inability to decrease PCT by more than 80% within 5–7 days after the onset of fever independently predicted poor 100-day survival following allo-HSCT (P = 0.036). Furthermore, the prognostic nomogram combining PCTc and clinical parameters showed a stable predictive performance, supported by the C-index of 0.808 and AUC of 0.813 in the primary cohort, and C-index of 0.691 and AUC of 0.697 in the validation cohort. This study demonstrated the diagnostic role of PCT in documented and bloodstream infection during the neutropenic period after allo-HSCT. PCTc might serve as a predictive indicator of post-HSCT 100-day mortality. A nomogram based on PCTc and several clinical factors effectively predicted the 100-day survival of febrile patients and may help physicians identify high-risk patients in the post-HSCT neutropenic period.
