Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of humanized anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy in older patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma based on the comprehensive geriatric assessment system.

Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has led to unprecedented results to date in relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), yet its clinical application in elderly patients with R/R DLBCL remains somewhat limited. In this study, a total of 31 R/R DLBCL patients older than 65 years of age were enrolled and received humanized anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy. Patients were stratified into a fit, unfit, or frail group according to the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA).

[Effect and Involved Mechanism of RSL3-induced Ferroptosis in Acute Leukemia Cells MOLM13 and Drug-resistant Cell Lines].

Objective: To investigate the effect and involved mechanism of RSL3 on ferroptosis action in acute leukemia cells MOLM13 and its drug-resistant cells.

Methods: After MOLM13 treated with RSL3, CCK-8 assay was performed to detect cell viability, flow cytometry was used to detect the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level of the cells, RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). After MOLM13/IDA and MOLM13/Ara-C, the drug-resistant cell lines were constructed, the ferroptosis induced by RSL3 was observed.

[Expression of CD44, CD87 and CD123 in Acute Leukemia and Its Correlation with Cellular Immunity].

Objective: To investigate the expression of CD44, CD87 and CD123 in acute leukemia and its correlation with cellular immune markers.

Methods: A total of 166 patients with acute leukemia (AL) admitted from May 2014 to February 2017 were enrolled in AL groups. Among these patients, 100 patients suffered from acute myeloid leukemia, 50 patients suffered from acute lymphoid leukemia, and 16 patients showed B/medullary phenotype.

CAR-T 19 combined with reduced-dose PD-1 blockade therapy for treatment of refractory follicular lymphoma: A case report.

Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy has changed the typical outcomes of relapsed/refractory B-cell leukemia and lymphoma. However, treatment effectiveness for patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma has been less satisfactory compared with patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The present study described a case of refractory follicular lymphoma.

Reactive oxygen species mediated T lymphocyte abnormalities in an iron-overloaded mouse model and iron-overloaded patients with myelodysplastic syndromes.

The adverse effects of iron overload have raised more concerns as a growing number of studies reported its association with immune disorders. This study aimed to investigate alterations in the immune system by iron overload in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and an iron-overloaded mouse model. The peripheral blood from patients was harvested to test the effect of iron overload on the subsets of T lymphocytes, and the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was also evaluated.

[Effects of Iron Overload on the Apoptosis and Function of Splenic CD8+ T Cells in Mice].

Objective: To investigate the effects of iron overload on apoptosis and function of splenic CD8+ T cells in mice.

Methods: Forty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control groups, Iron overload (IO), IO+NAC and IO+DFX groups. The iron overload model was established by intraperitoneal injection of iron dextran, and saline was injected as the control.

Adoptive transfusion of tolerogenic dendritic cells prolongs the survival of liver allograft: a systematic review.

Objectives: To systematically review the effects of tolerogenic dendritic cells (Tol-DCs) induced by different methods on liver transplantation and their possible mechanisms of action.

Methods: PubMed and EMbase were searched for relevant articles through 31 December 2013. The effects of Tol-DCs on liver allograft survival were semiquantitatively evaluated, and the possible mechanisms by which Tol-DCs prolong graft survival were analyzed.

[Establishment of an mouse model of iron-overload and its impact on bone marrow hematopoiesis].

Objective: To establish a mouse model of iron overload by intraperitoneal injection of iron dextran and investigate the impact of iron overload on bone marrow hematopoiesis.

Methods: A total of 40 C57BL/6 mice were divided into control group, low-dose iron group (12.5 mg/ml), middle-dose iron group (25 mg/ml), and high-dose iron group (50 mg/ml).

[Reactive oxygen species mediate the injury and deficient hematopoietic supportive capacity of umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells induced by iron overload].

Objective: To explore the effects of iron overload on umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC) and elucidate the involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in this process.

Methods: The iron overload model of MSC was established by in vitro addition of ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) into culture medium. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were determined by Annexin V/PI double staining and population doubling time (DT) respectively.

[Reactive oxygen species and fibrosis in tissues and organs - review].

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a kind of molecules derived by oxygen in the metabolic process of aerobic cells, which mainly includes superoxide, hydroxyl radicals, alkoxyl, hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorous acid, ozone, etc. They can destroy the structure and function of cells through the damage of biological macromolecules such as DNA, proteins and the lipid peroxidation. ROS also can regulate the proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis of cells through several signaling pathways and participate in fibrogenesis of many organs including hepatic and pulmonary fibrosis.
