AI Article Synopsis

  • Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), including Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides, involves the abnormal accumulation of T lymphocytes in the skin.
  • CTCL cells exhibit varied characteristics and express cell adhesion molecules like cutaneous lymphocyte antigen (CLA), which facilitates their movement and survival in the skin.
  • Research shows that targeting CLA with a specific antibody (HECA-452) reduces the movement, proliferation, and tumor growth of CTCL cells, indicating that inhibiting CLA might offer a potential treatment strategy for CTCL patients.

Article Abstract

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) such as Sézary syndrome or mycosis fungoides corresponds to an abnormal infiltration of T lymphocytes in the skin. CTCL cells have a heterogeneous phenotype and express cell adhesion molecules such as cutaneous lymphocyte antigen (CLA) supporting skin homing. The use of a mAb (HECA-452) against CLA significantly decreased transendothelial migration and survival of CTCL cells from patient samples and My-La cell line. The decrease of CLA expression by inhibition of its maturation enzyme, ST3 β-galactoside α-2,3-sialyltransferase 4, also impaired CTCL cell migration, proliferation, and survival. We confirmed in vivo that treatment with anti-CLA mAb decreased the tumorigenicity as well as dissemination of CTCL cells in different tissues compared with the control group. Our findings provide evidence of the involvement of CLA in CTCL cell migration and survival, supporting that CLA inhibition could represent an actionable therapy in patients with CTCL.

Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are a rare and heterogeneous subset of skin-localized, non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Our aim was to evaluate the in vitro antitumor activity of the multi-kinase inhibitor linifanib, either alone or in combination with metronomic vinorelbine (mVNR) or etoposide (mETO), on CTCL cells. In vitro proliferation assay and Luminex analysis showed that long-term, daily exposure of linifanib significantly inhibited the proliferation of the human CTCL cell line HH, in a concentration-dependent manner (IC = 48.

Six pyridine analogs of (E)-3-(3-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,1,4,4,6-pentamethylnaphthalen-7-yl)-4-hydroxyphenyl)acrylic acid-or CD3254 (11)-in addition to two novel analogs of 1-(3,5,5,8,8-pentamethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole-5-carboxylic acid (CBt-PMN or 23) were prepared and evaluated for selective retinoid-X-receptor (RXR) agonism alongside bexarotene (1), an FDA-approved drug for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Treatment with 1 often elicits side-effects by disrupting or provoking other RXR-dependent nuclear receptors and cellular pathways. All analogs were assessed through modeling for their ability to bind RXR and then evaluated in human colon and kidney cells employing an RXR-RXR mammalian-2-hybrid (M2H) system and in an RXRE-controlled transcriptional assay.

PIK-75 (F7) is a potent multikinase inhibitor that targets p110α, DNA-PK, and p38γ. PIK-75 has shown potential as a therapy in preclinical cancer models, but it has not been used in the clinic, at least in part, due to limited solubility. We therefore developed a nanoparticle to encapsulate PIK-75 and enable targeted cellular delivery.

Background: Mycosis fungoides (MF) represents the most prevalent entity of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL). The MF aetiopathogenesis is incompletely understood, due to significant transcriptomic heterogeneity and conflicting views on whether oncologic transformation originates in early thymocytes or mature effector memory T cells. Recently, using clinical specimens, our group showed that the skin microbiome aggravates disease course, mainly driven by an outgrowing, pathogenic strain carrying the virulence factor spa, which was shown by others to activate the T cell signalling pathway NF-κB.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) stands as the predominant form of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). It manifests a diverse array of clinical, histological, and immunophenotypic variations, each bearing distinct prognostic implications. The typical immunophenotypic profile of mycosis fungoides involves CD3+/CD4+/CD45RO+ memory T cells.
