    查看更多>>摘要:Chimeric antigen receptor(CAR)-T cell therapy has achieved remarkable success in the treatment of hematological malignancies.Based on the immunomodulatory capability of CAR-T cells,efforts have turned toward exploring their potential in treating auto-immune diseases.Bibliometric analysis of 210 records from 128 academic journals published by 372 institutions in 40 countries/regions indicates a growing number of publications on CAR-T therapy for autoimmune diseases,covering a range of subtypes such as systemic lupus erythematosus,multiple sclerosis,among others.CAR-T therapy holds promise in mitigating several shortcomings,including the indiscriminate suppression of the immune system by traditional immunosuppressants,and non-sus-taining therapeutic levels of monoclonal antibodies due to inherent pharmacokinetic constraints.By persisting and proliferating in vivo,CAR-T cells can offer a tailored and precise therapeutics.This paper reviewed preclinical experiments and clinical trials involving CAR-T and CAR-related therapies in various autoimmune diseases,incorporating innovations well-studied in the field of hematological tumors,aiming to explore a safe and effective therapeutic option for relapsed/refractory autoimmune diseases.

    查看更多>>摘要:Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1(MALAT1)is a well-established oncogenic long non-coding RNA,the higher expression of which is strongly correlated with cancer events such as tumorigenesis,progression,metastasis,drug resistance,and treatment outcome in solid cancers.Recently,a series of studies has highlighted its potential role in hematological malig-nancies in terms of these events.Similar to solid cancers,MALAT1 can regulate various target genes via sponging and epigenetic mechanisms,but the miRNAs sponged by MALAT1 differ from those identified in solid cancers.In this review,we systematically describe the role and underlying mechanisms of MALAT1 in multiple types of hematological malignancies,including regulation of cell proliferation,metastasis,stress response,and glycolysis.Clinically,MALAT1 expression is related to poor treatment outcome and drug resistance,therefore exhibiting potential prognostic value in multiple myeloma,lymphoma,and leukemia.Finally,we discuss the evaluation of MALAT1 as a novel therapeutic target against cancer in preclinical studies.

    查看更多>>摘要:Background:With an increasing number of patients with hematological malignancies being treated with umbilical cord blood transplantation(UCBT),the correlation between immune reconstitution(IR)after UCBT and graft-versus-host disease(GVHD)has been reported successively,but reports ondouble-negative T(DNT)cell reconstitution and its association with acute GVHD(aGVHD)after UCBT are lacking.Methods:A population-based observational studywas conducted among 131 patients with hematological malignancies who underwent single-unit UCBT as their first transplant at the Department of Hematology,the First Affiliated Hospital of USTC,between August 2018 and June 2021.IR differences were compared between the patients with and without aGVHD.Results:The absolute number of DNT cells in the healthy Chinese population was 109(70-157)/pL,accounting for 5.82(3.98-8.19)%of lymphocytes.DNT cells showed delayed recovery and could not reach their normal levels even one year after transplantation.Importantly,the absolute numberand percentage of DNT cells were significantly higher in UCBT patients without aGVHD than in those with aGVHD withinone year(F=4.684,P=0.039 and F=5:583,P=0.026,respectively).In addition,the number of DNT cells in the first month-after transplantation decreased significantly with the degree of aGVHD increased,and faster DNT cell reconstitution in the first month after UCBT was an independent protective factor for aGVHD(HR=0.46,95%confidence interval[CI]:0.23-0.93;P=0.031).Conclusions:Compared to the number of DNT cells in Chinese healthy people,the reconstitution of DNT cells in adults with hematological malignancies after UCBT was slow.In addition,the faster reconstitution of DNT cells in the early stage after transplantation was associated with a lower incidence of aGVHD.
