However, there is an evidence gap regarding the marginal costs of treating melanoma."
+3,skin cancer,39612126,"Integrated analysis of disulfidptosis-related genes SLC7A11, SLC3A2, RPN1 and NCKAP1 across cancers.","Disulfidptosis, a newly identified form of regulated cell death associated with disruption of disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum, involves the dysregulation of disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) that may contribute to cancer development and progression. However, the molecular mechanisms and clinical implications of DRGs in different cancer types remain poorly characterized. Therefore, in this comprehensive study, we investigated the expression, prognostic value, and functional roles of four recently identified DRGs (SLC7A11, SLC3A2, RPN1, and NCKAP1) across various cancers. Especially, in clinical samples of glioblastoma, we found that RPN1 was significantly correlated with patient survival. Through mutation landscape analysis, we identified diverse missense mutations in these DRGs, with NCKAP1 exhibiting the highest mutation frequency (5.9% in skin cutaneous melanoma). Additionally, we observed positive correlations between these DRGs and tumor stemness (DNAss DNA stemness score and RNAss RNA stemness score) as well as RNA modifications, particularly m6A modification, in several cancer types. Furthermore, high expression of SLC7A11, RPN1, and NCKAP1 was positively associated with infiltration of T-helper type 2 (Th2) cells in various cancers, while high expression of SLC7A11, SLC3A2, and RPN1 correlated with tumor mutational burden (TMB) in 10, 4, and 8 tumor types, respectively. Utilizing a protein-protein interaction network, we identified the RHO GTPases Activate WASPs and WAVEs pathway as significantly enriched, suggesting the involvement of these DRGs in cancer-related signaling pathways. Collectively, our findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms and clinical implications of DRGs in pan-cancer, highlighting their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic targets for cancer treatment."

Our objective is to predict long-term risk (probability) of recurrence in early-stage melanoma patients."
+6,skin cancer,39611682,"Cancer incidence associations with drinking water arsenic levels and disinfection methods in Maine, USA.","Maine is a largely rural state where nearly half of the population uses drinking water from private wells. Arsenic (As) is present in some Maine groundwater, has been linked to cancer, and a lack of testing and treatment may expose people with private wells to elevated As levels. Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) include known and suspected carcinogens that form when chlorine or chloramines are added to water. People served by public water systems may be exposed to elevated levels of regulated DBPs such as trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids associated with chlorine and/or unregulated nitrogenous DBPs, or N-DBPs, such as nitrite and N-nitrosodimethylamine associated with chloramines. Contrary to initial expectations, there were no significant associations between median town As in well water and bladder, lung, kidney, or skin cancer incidence. Furthermore, bladder, melanoma, and other skin cancer incidence rates were negatively correlated with the percent of the town population using private wells. Analysis of cancer incidence associated with chlorine and chloramine disinfection showed elevated melanoma, and other skin cancer with chloramine use and elevated bladder and non-melanoma skin cancer with chlorine use compared to the no disinfectant case. We recommend more research on the links between disinfectant use and cancer."
+7,skin cancer,39611156,The roles of cancer stem cells and therapeutic implications in melanoma.,"Melanoma is a highly malignant skin tumor characterized by high metastasis and poor prognosis. Recent studies have highlighted the pivotal role of melanoma stem cells (MSCs)-a subpopulation of cancer stem cells (CSCs)-in driving tumor growth, metastasis, therapeutic resistance, and recurrence. Similar to CSCs in other cancers, MSCs possess unique characteristics, including specific surface markers, dysregulated signaling pathways, and the ability to thrive within complex tumor microenvironment (TME). This review explored the current landscape of MSC research, discussing the identification of MSC-specific surface markers, the role of key signaling pathways such as Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, and Hedgehog (Hh), and how interactions within the TME, including hypoxia and immune cells, contribute to MSC-mediated drug resistance and metastatic behavior. Furthermore, we also investigated the latest therapeutic strategies targeting MSCs, such as small-molecule inhibitors, immune-based approaches, and novel vaccine developments, with an emphasis on their potential to overcome melanoma progression and improve clinical outcomes. This review aims to provide valuable insights into the complex roles of MSCs in melanoma biology and offers perspectives for future research and therapeutic advances against this challenging disease."

+11,skin cancer,39609719,Epithelial differentiation of gingival mesenchymal stem cells enhances re-epithelialization for full-thickness cutaneous wound healing.,"Increasing evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) repair traumatized tissues primarily through paracrine secretion and differentiation into specific cell types. However, the role of epithelial differentiation of MSCs in cutaneous wound healing is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the epithelial differentiation potential of gingival tissue-derived MSCs (GMSCs) in epithelial cell growth medium and the mechanisms underlying their differentiation into an epithelial-like cell phenotype."
+12,skin cancer,39609558,Antibiotic-mediated selection of randomly mutagenized and cytokine-expressing oncolytic viruses.,"Optimization of oncolytic viruses for therapeutic applications requires the strategic removal or mutagenesis of virulence genes alongside the insertion of transgenes that enhance viral replication, spread and immunogenicity. However, the complexity of many viral genomes and the labour-intensive nature of methods for the generation and isolation of recombinant viruses have hindered the development of therapeutic oncolytic viruses. Here we report an iterative strategy that exploits the preferential susceptibility of viruses to certain antibiotics to accelerate the engineering of the genomes of oncolytic viruses for the insertion of immunomodulatory cytokine transgenes, and the identification of dispensable genes with regard to replication of the recombinant oncolytic viruses in tumour cells. We applied the strategy by leveraging insertional mutagenesis via the Sleeping Beauty transposon system, combined with long-read nanopore sequencing, to generate libraries of herpes simplex virus type 1 and vaccinia virus, identifying stable transgene insertion sites and gene deletions that enhance the safety and efficacy of the viruses."

They aid the artificial intelligence-based early detection of skin cancer, facilitate treatment planning, and contribute to medical education and research. Published large datasets have partially coverage the subclassifications of the skin lesions. This limitation highlights the need for more expansive and varied datasets to reduce false predictions and help improve the failure analysis for skin lesions. This study presents a diverse dataset comprising 12,345 dermatoscopic images with 40 subclasses of skin lesions, collected in Turkiye, which comprises different skin types in the transition zone between Europe and Asia. Each subgroup contains high-resolution images and expert annotations, providing a strong and reliable basis for future research. The detailed analysis of each subgroup provided in this study facilitates targeted research endeavors and enhances the depth of understanding regarding the skin lesions. This dataset distinguishes itself through a diverse structure with its 5 super classes, 15 main classes, 40 subclasses and 12,345 high-resolution dermatoscopic images."
+14,skin cancer,39609320,Melanoma in people living with HIV: Immune landscape dynamics and the role of immuno- and antiviral therapies.,"The intersection of HIV and melanoma presents a complex and unique challenge, marked by distinct patterns in incidence, mortality, and treatment response. Higher mortality rates among people with HIV who develop melanoma underscore an urgent need to identify the factors influencing these outcomes. Investigating immune system dynamics, the effects of anti-retroviral drugs, and the evolving landscape of cancer immunotherapy in this population holds promise for new insights, though significant uncertainties remain. Over the past 25 years, melanoma research has demonstrated that a robust immune response is critical for effective treatment. In the context of chronic HIV infection, viral reservoirs enable the virus to persist despite anti-retroviral therapy and foster dysregulated myeloid and T cell compartments. The resulting chronic inflammation weakens the immune system and damages tissues, potentially creating ""cold"" tumor microenvironments that are less responsive to therapy. In this challenging context, animal models become invaluable for uncovering underlying biological mechanisms. While these models do not fully replicate human HIV infection, they provide essential insights into critical questions and inform the development of tailored treatments for this patient population. Clinically, increasing trial participation and creating a centralized, accessible repository for HIV and cancer samples and data are vital. Achieving these goals requires institutions to address barriers to research participation among people with HIV, focusing on patient-centered initiatives that leverage biomedical research to improve their outcomes and extend their lives."
+15,skin cancer,39609313,"Comprehensive characterization of neddylation related genes in cutaneous melanoma identified a novel prognostic signature for treatment outcomes, immune landscape.","Neddylation, as a post-translational modification, has garnered significant attention in various tumor types recently. Few studies have investigated the involvement of neddylation-related genes (NRGs) in cutaneous melanoma (CM). Our study aims to identify prognostic NRGs and investigate their potential roles in CM. The RNA-sequencing data and corresponding clinical data of CM patients were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, while the expression profiles of 812 normal skin specimens were obtained from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) database. The neddylation-related genes (NRGs) were extracted from the Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB). We identified differentially expressed NRGs in CM and determined neddylation-related prognostic genes through univariate Cox regression analysis. We constructed a novel NRGs signature using LASSO-COX. The accuracy and utility of the NRGs signature were evaluated via a variety of statistical methods. Bioinformatics tools were employed to investigate the differential biological functions and signaling pathways among distinct risk groups. The expression levels of NRGs were analyzed through RT-qPCR experiments conducted in vitro. Finally, we identified an 8-NRGs signature in CM. Our prognostic model exhibited a high predictive capability for outcomes. The differences in the proportions of immune cells among subgroups were statistically significant. The in vitro experiments indicated significant differences in the expression of our NRGs. The 8-NRGs signature serves as a prognostic model for CM. Importantly, the novel biological prognostic model holds potential for personalized therapy in CM patients."
+16,skin cancer,39609143,Evaluating the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat mastectomy skin flap ischemia in breast reconstruction: A single-institution retrospective analysis.,"Mastectomy skin flap ischemia is a well-known postoperative complication following mastectomy and breast reconstruction. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has shown promising results for reducing the adverse effects associated with mastectomy skin flap ischemia and associated necrosis; however, there is paucity of literature regarding the indications for HBOT following breast cancer surgery. This study aimed to assess HBOT efficacy in treating and mitigating complications from postoperative tissue ischemia. Secondarily, it explored how patient-related factors may impact the success of HBOT."
+17,skin cancer,39608978,B cell c-Maf signaling promotes tumor progression in animal models of pancreatic cancer and melanoma.,"The role of B cells in antitumor immunity remains controversial, with studies suggesting the protumor and antitumor activity. This controversy may be due to the heterogeneity in B cell populations, as the balance among the subtypes may impact tumor progression. The immunosuppressive regulatory B cells (Breg) release interleukin 10 (IL-10) but only represent a minor population. Additionally, tumor-specific antibodies (Abs) also exhibit antitumor and protumor functions dependent on the Ab isotype. Transcription factor c-Maf has been suggested to contribute to the regulation of IL-10 in Breg, but the role of B cell c-Maf signaling in antitumor immunity and regulating Ab responses remains unknown."
+18,skin cancer,39608832,Necrolytic migratory erythema: a fortuitous diagnosis.,"A woman in her late 60s presented with widespread, itchy, dark lesions over her trunk and legs for 1 month. Initially, she was managed as nutritional dermatitis and experienced partial improvement. However, her condition worsened over 2 months, characterised by aggravated skin lesions, new-onset diabetes and a 12 kg weight loss. On suspicion of necrolytic migratory erythema (NME) secondary to glucagonoma, the contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) abdomen revealed a primary pancreatic lesion with multiple liver metastases. The diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumour was confirmed by liver biopsy with immunohistochemistry, and stage 4 status was revealed by fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography CT. Following 6-monthly octreotide injections and nutritional and supportive care, her skin lesions completely resolved. This case emphasises the significance of recognising NME, a rare and often misdiagnosed dermatological condition, as it may signify an underlying occult neuroendocrine pancreatic malignancy. Early recognition is crucial for the timely initiation of appropriate management."
+19,skin cancer,39608791,The risk of malignancy in patients with psoriasis treated with long-term tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitor: a systematic review and meta-analysis.,"The relationship between tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors (TNFi) and cancer risk is complex, given their pivotal role in managing chronic inflammatory conditions. Persistent concerns about TNFi therapy potentially increasing cancer risk necessitate a thorough understanding of its long-term effects on cancer development in patients with psoriasis to guide therapeutic decision-making."
+20,skin cancer,39608669,The influence of melanoma extracellular vesicles on benign melanocytes: a role for PRAME in modulation of the tumor microenvironment.,"Melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer with a high tendency for metastasis and resistance to conventional therapies. This study explores the role of PRAME (Preferentially Expressed Antigen in Melanoma), a cancer-testis antigen, in melanoma progression, focusing on its function in melanoma-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) and its impact on benign melanocytes. We show that PRAME is highly expressed in melanoma cell lines, tissues, and patient plasma, and is present in EVs. These EVs transfer PRAME protein and mRNA to benign melanocytes, leading to significant alterations in gene expression, increased cell proliferation, and a more malignant phenotype. Knockout of PRAME in melanoma cells reduces these pro-tumorigenic effects on melanocytes, emphasizing PRAME's role in EV-mediated communication. The detection of PRAME in plasma EVs suggests its potential as a biomarker for monitoring disease progression and therapy response, including in rare melanoma subtypes. These findings highlight PRAME as a key player in melanoma progression and suggest targeting PRAME-containing EVs as a potential therapeutic strategy to inhibit melanoma progression and metastasis."
+21,skin cancer,39608611,StrataXRT and Mepitel Film for preventing post-mastectomy acute radiation dermatitis in breast cancer: an intra-patient non-inferiority randomized clinical trial.,"Acute radiation dermatitis (ARD) is a notable challenge for patients with breast cancer undergoing post-mastectomy radiation therapy (RT). This study evaluates the efficacy, safety, and user experience of StrataXRT versus Mepitel Film for ARD prevention."
+22,skin cancer,39608440,EGFR-TKIs induce acneiform rash and xerosis via Caspase-3/GSDME-mediated pyroptosis of keratinocytes and sebocytes.,"Skin toxicities are the most common adverse effects of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). While EGFR-TKIs induce pyroptosis in lung cancer cells through Gasdermin E (GSDME) activation, it is unknown whether they can similarly affect skin cells. In this study, we used immunohistochemistry to demonstrate that in acneiform rash, the N-terminus of GSDME (GSDME-N) is predominantly expressed in the basal layer of the follicular epithelium and sebocytes, while it is absent in the interfollicular epidermis. In contrast, in cases of xerosis or secondary eczematous rash, GSDME-N was significantly expressed in the basal layer of the interfollicular epidermis and weakly or partially positive in the follicular epithelium. Bright-field microscopy of HaCaT and SZ95 cells treated with afatinib revealed cell swelling and large bubble formation, while scanning electron microscopy showed a reduction in microvilli and membrane pores formation. Transmission electron microscopy further revealed multiple membrane pores and decreased cytoplasmic density. Importantly, we found that GSDME is cleaved during afatinib-induced pyroptosis via caspase-3 activation. ELISA analysis further confirmed that afatinib-treated cells released elevated levels of HMGB1 and IL-1α. Meanwhile, inhibition of caspase-3 activity or knockdown of GSDME both suppressed afatinib-induced pyroptosis, while GSDME elimination did not affect caspase-3 activation. These results indicate that afatinib-induced pyroptosis in keratinocytes and sebocytes is mediated by the caspase-3/GSDME pathway. Our findings suggest that GSDME-dependent pyroptosis in HaCaT and SZ95 cells contributes to the development of acneiform rash and xerosis, highlighting the need for further investigation into the underlying mechanisms."
+23,skin cancer,39608330,Anastomosing hemangioma of the kidney: A rare case report.,"Hemangiomas are benign vascular neoplasms primarily affecting the skin and soft tissues but can also occur in visceral organs, with the liver being the most common site. Renal hemangiomas are exceedingly rare, with fewer than 300 cases reported. Various subtypes, including cavernous, capillary, and anastomosing hemangiomas, have been identified. Anastomosing hemangioma (AH), a histological subtype of capillary hemangioma, was first described in 2009. AH has a distinctive histological architecture of anastomosing sinusoidal-like vascular spaces and often mimics angiosarcoma."
+24,skin cancer,39608009,Liver volumetry improves evaluation of treatment response to hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy in uveal melanoma patients with liver metastases.,"In uveal melanoma patients, short-term evaluation of treatment response to hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria is challenging due to the diffuse metastatic spread. As liver enlargement can frequently be observed, this study aims to compare RECIST 1.1 and liver volumetry (LV) for the evaluation of HAIC treatment response."

+27,skin cancer,39607293,"Bioavailability of ursolic/oleanolic acid, with therapeutic potential in chronic diseases and cancer.","This study focused on describing the bioavailability of ursolic/oleanolic acids (UA/OA) and the methods to increase it, so that these 2 bioactive compounds can have therapeutic and preventive effects in chronic diseases and cancer. Ursolic/oleanolic acids are natural compounds that have been known since the 19th century. They are very widespread and offer special benefits for human health - especially that their high absorbability makes them suitable for use in therapeutic and preventive treatment. One of the important aspects of their bioavailability is related to their interaction with other bioactive compounds or drugs. In chronic diseases and cancer, UA/OA may affect the absorption of other nutrients and interact with bioactive compounds. By increasing the bioavailability of UA/OA with various technical processes, especially using nanocarriers and nanoparticles, these compounds can affect collagen production, contributing to maintaining skin elasticity and preventing the appearance of wrinkles. Today, UA/OA are frequently used to treat many conditions, ranging from chronic to metabolic."
+28,skin cancer,39607071,"New 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydro-isoquinolines Bearing 2-Nitrophenyl Group Targeting RET Enzyme: Synthesis, Anticancer Activity, Apoptotic Induction and Cell Cycle Arrest.","In this work, we synthesized new 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroisoquinolines and 6,7,8,9-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]isoquinolines derivatives and the structures of these new compounds were confirmed with different spectroscopic techniques. Furthermore, the anticancer activities of these compounds were assessed against eight tumor cell lines and one normal human skin fibroblast cell line (HSF). Subsequently, IC50 values of the synthesized compounds were determined for two specific cancer cell lines. Compound 3 exhibited the most potent antiproliferative activity against the HEPG2 cell line, whereas compound 9c demonstrated superior efficacy against the HCT116 cell line. Moreover, the mechanism of action for compound 3 on HEPG2 cells using flow cytometry and Annexin V-FITC apoptosis analysis was studied. Compound 3 caused cell cycle arrest at the G2/M with a 50-fold increase in apoptosis of the HEPG2 cell line. Finally, a molecular docking study was conducted to assess the inhibitory potential of compounds 3 and 7 against the RET enzyme. Results indicated that compounds 3 and 7 bind to the RET enzyme with binding energies of -5.2 and -5.6 kcal/mol, respectively. While these values suggest inhibitory activity, they are less potent than the standard inhibitor, alectinib, which exhibits a binding energy of -7.2 kcal/mol."

This condition can cause 14.3% fatality, stressing the need for effective wound healing therapy. Wound healing is a complex biological process, and human Wharton's Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hWJMSCs) may help manage DFU treatment issues. This research focuses on utilizing a gel carrier to deliver bioactive substances from Wharton's Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells secretome (hWJ-MSCs-Sec) as a possible treatment for DFU."
+30,skin cancer,39606634,Enhanced skin cancer diagnosis: a deep feature extraction-based framework for the multi-classification of skin cancer utilizing dermoscopy images.,"Skin cancer is one of the most common, deadly, and widespread cancers worldwide. Early detection of skin cancer can lead to reduced death rates. A dermatologist or primary care physician can use a dermatoscope to inspect a patient to diagnose skin disorders visually. Early detection of skin cancer is essential, and in order to confirm the diagnosis and determine the most appropriate course of therapy, patients should undergo a biopsy and a histological evaluation. Significant advancements have been made recently as the accuracy of skin cancer categorization by automated deep learning systems matches that of dermatologists. Though progress has been made, there is still a lack of a widely accepted, clinically reliable method for diagnosing skin cancer. This article presented four variants of the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model (i.e., original CNN, no batch normalization CNN, few filters CNN, and strided CNN) for the classification and prediction of skin cancer in lesion images with the aim of helping physicians in their diagnosis. Further, it presents the hybrid models CNN-Support Vector Machine (CNNSVM), CNN-Random Forest (CNNRF), and CNN-Logistic Regression (CNNLR), using a grid search for the best parameters. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and random oversampling are performed to normalize and balance the data. The CNN models (original CNN, strided, and CNNSVM) obtained an accuracy rate of 98%. In contrast, CNNRF and CNNLR obtained an accuracy rate of 99% for skin cancer prediction on a HAM10000 dataset of 10,015 dermoscopic images. The encouraging outcomes demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and show that improving the performance of skin cancer diagnosis requires including the patient's metadata with the lesion image."

Benign vascular neoplasms known as angiokeratomas are characterized by well-defined, hyperkeratotic, reddish-black papules, or plaques. The patient underwent one treatment session with a long-pulsed 1064-nm neodymium-YAG laser. A clinical photographic assessment was performed immediately after the laser session and at 14 days follow-up. At the follow-up appointment, the patient reported no significant discomfort and physical examination revealed complete resolution of all angiokeratomas. The skin of the labia majora appeared healthy, with no visible scarring or pigmentation changes. The patient expressed high satisfaction with the cosmetic outcome. This case supports the use of laser systems for managing angiokeratomas in delicate areas like the genital region, providing significant aesthetic improvement and patient satisfaction."

+35,skin cancer,39605474,Design and Synthesis of Triazine-Based Hydrogel for Combined Targeted Doxorubicin Delivery and PI3K Inhibition.,"Melanoma, an aggressive skin cancer originating from melanocytes, presents substantial challenges due to its high metastatic potential and resistance to conventional therapies. Hydrogels, three-dimensional networks of hydrophilic polymers with high water-retention capacities, offer significant promise for controlled drug delivery applications. In this study, we report the synthesis and characterization of hydrogelators based on the triazine molecular scaffold, which self-assemble into fibrous networks conducive to hydrogel formation. Rheological analysis confirmed their hydrogelation properties, while microscopic techniques including FE-SEM and FEG-TEM provided insights into their morphological networks. The drug delivery capability of these hydrogelators was evaluated using doxorubicin, a widely employed anticancer agent, demonstrating enhanced biocompatibility and reduced side effects compared to free doxorubicin. Additionally, the hydrogelators exhibited inhibitory activity against phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), a key enzyme frequently mutated in cancer, and also involved in melanoma progression. The dual functionality of this delivery system - controlled drug release and PI3K inhibition - highlights the potential of triazine-based hydrogelators as innovative therapeutic platforms for melanoma treatment."
+36,skin cancer,39605443,Desmoplakin is a desmosomal mechanosensor.,"Desmosomes are essential cell-cell adhesion organelles that enable tension-prone tissue, like the skin and heart, withstand mechanical stress. Desmosomal anomalies are associated with numerous epidermal disorders and cardiomyopathies. Despite their critical role in maintaining tissue resilience, an understanding of how desmosomes respond to mechanical stimuli is lacking. Here we demonstrate, in human breast cancer MCF7 cells, that actomyosin forces induce a conformational change in the N-terminal region of desmoplakin, a critical cytoplasmic desmosomal protein. Using super-resolution fluorescence microscopy, biochemical assays, and atomistic computer simulations, we show that actomyosin forces are directed to desmoplakin along keratin-19 filaments. These forces induce a conformational change in the N-terminal plakin domain of desmoplakin, converting this domain from a folded (closed) to an extended (open) conformation. Functional adhesion assays show that MCF7 cells with desmoplakin in an open conformation are more adhesive than cells with desmoplakin in a closed state. Our findings establish that desmoplakin is mechanosensitive and undergoes force-induced conformational changes which enhance the mechanical resilience of desmosomes."

Over 50% of patients exhibit central nervous system (CNS) involvement, but diagnosis is often delayed due to the lack of distinctive features. We aimed to identify key phenotypic features for early diagnosis of intravascular lymphoma with CNS involvement through an in-depth cohort study."
+38,skin cancer,39605116,hMAGEA2 as a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target for melanoma progression and metastasis.,"The incidence of melanoma, a highly aggressive skin cancer, continues to increase worldwide, particularly among populations with lighter skin tones. The diagnostic challenge of melanoma lies in the absence of a distinctive clinical presentation, as its characteristics vary based on anatomical location, growth type, and histopathology. The melanoma-associated antigen (MAGE) gene family is differentially expressed in various human cancers, including melanoma. In this study, we explored the association between human MAGEA2 (hMAGEA2) expression and melanoma. Using a human melanoma tissue array, we confirmed that hMAGEA2 expression was higher in melanoma and metastatic melanoma than in normal tissues. Additionally, we used SK-MEL-5 and SK-MEL-28 cell lines to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying melanoma progression and invasiveness. In SK-MEL-5 and SK-MEL-28 cells, hMAGEA2 overexpression accelerated cell proliferation. Conversely, the knockdown of hMAEGA2 reduced cell proliferation, colony formation, and migration significantly and induced arrest at the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. With respect to the molecular mechanism, the knockdown of hMAGEA2 decreased the phosphorylation of Akt, JNK, and p38 MAPK. Additionally, hMAGEA2 knockdown reduced tumor formation significantly at the in vivo level. Collectively, the robust correlation between hMAGEA2 and melanoma metastasis supports the potential utility of hMAGEA2 as both a diagnostic marker and novel therapeutic target for patients with melanoma metastasis."
+39,skin cancer,39605045,BRD4 sustains p63 transcriptional program in keratinocytes.,"Here, we investigated the potential interaction between bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4), an established epigenetic modulator and transcriptional coactivator, and p63, a member of the p53 transcription factor family, essential for epithelial development and skin homeostasis. Our protein-protein interaction assays demonstrated a strong and conserved physical interaction between BRD4 and the p53 family members-p63, p73, and p53-suggesting a shared binding region among these proteins. While the role of BRD4 in cancer development through its interaction with p53 has been explored, the effects of BRD4 and Bromodomain and Extra Terminal (BET) inhibitors in non-transformed cells, such as keratinocytes, remain largely unknown. Our functional analyses revealed changes in cellular proliferation and differentiation in keratinocytes depleted of either p63 or BRD4, which were further supported by using the BRD4 inhibitor JQ1. Transcriptomic analyses, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and RT-qPCR indicated a synergistic mechanism between p63 and BRD4 in regulating the transcription of keratinocyte-specific p63 target genes, including HK2, FOXM1, and EVPL. This study not only highlights the complex relationship between BRD4 and p53 family members but also suggests a role for BRD4 in maintaining keratinocyte functions. Our findings pave the way for further exploration of potential therapeutic applications of BRD4 inhibitors in treating skin disorders."

Herein, we present a case of angiosarcoma which clinically mimicked an inflammatory alopecia and was diagnosed by examination of alopecia-protocol horizontal histologic sections. A 72-year-old female presented to her dermatologist with a chief complaint of hair loss and pruritus. She was noted to have alopecia with erythema of the scalp and was diagnosed clinically with lichen planopilaris. However, when multiple topical treatments were unsuccessful, her dermatologist performed a scalp biopsy to guide further alopecia therapy. Horizontally oriented histologic sections were prepared from the biopsy in standard alopecia fashion. Histopathologic examination revealed a proliferation of dissecting vascular channels lined by atypical endothelial cells, diagnostic of angiosarcoma. The patient underwent radiation and chemotherapy with clinical response and had stable disease for several years thereafter. This case highlights the importance of considering unexpected malignancies in the clinical and pathologic examination of cases of suspected inflammatory alopecia."
+44,skin cancer,39603462,The loss of keratin 77 in murine skin is functionally compensated by keratin 1.,"Keratins, the intermediate filament-forming proteins of the epithelial cells, are mainly expressed in keratinocytes, preserving the structural integrity and cohesion of the epidermis. There are multiple inherited skin conditions arising from mutations in the encoding genes of specific keratins, highlighting their significance in skin health. Furthermore, the aberrant expression of keratins is evidenced in certain skin diseases, such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and skin cancer. Keratin 77 (KRT77) is a type II keratin with demonstrated expression in human and mouse sweat glands' ducts. Using the CRISPR/Cas9 technique, we generated a Krt77-deficient (Krt77-KO) mouse line to reveal its obscure function in skin biology and homeostasis. KRT77 loss did not result in any fetal lethality or detrimental impact on the development of the skin and its appendages. However, we identified a substantially increased expression of KRT1 in the skin of the Krt77-KO mouse line in comparison with control littermates at both mRNA and protein levels using RT-qPCR and western blot analyses, respectively. Based on these findings, we concluded that the absence of KRT77 in the murine skin leads to upregulation of KRT1, an alternative epidermal type II keratin within the same subfamily as KRT77, which rescues the lack of KRT77."

The lectin concentration within prepared conjugates was estimated using nannodrop, and the highest concentration was 0.96 mg/ml in PHA-CHNPs. SDS-PAGE showed the molecular weights of conjugates ranged from 26.9 to 63.9 kDa. UV spectrophotometer recorded the absorbance peaks of conjugates somewhere between 200 and 230 nm. Hemagglutination analysis verified the presence of actively binding lectins. The three conjugates showed strong antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria compared to pure lectins and chitosan nanoparticles. The highest inhibition zone was 55.67 ± 4.04, 38.67 ± 5.51, and 37.33 ± 2.52 for PHA-CHNPs against Enterococcus faecalis, Salmonella typhimurium, and Shigella sonnei, respectively, followed by 36.3 ± 0.15 for PNA-CHNPs against Staphylococcus aureus. The lowest MIC was 1.5 µg/ml for PHA-CHNPs against Enterococcus faecalis, followed by 12 µg/ml for PNA-CHNPs and SBA-CHNPs against Salmonella typhimurium and Enterococcus faecalis, respectively. TEM microphotographs show the conjugation pattern between lectins and chitosan nanoparticles and the morphological differences between control, treated bacteria, and cancer cells. Moreover, 100 μg/ml of PHA-CHNPs affect tongue carcinoma (HNO-97), colorectal cancer (HT-29), and human melanoma (A375) cancer cell lines, reducing cell viability by 38.78 ± 1.85%, 49.88 ± 1.11%, and 66.92 ± 3.60%, respectively. This study develops three innovative conjugates of lectin chitosan nanoparticles that need to be tested as potential antibacterial and anticancer agents for medical and cancer therapy applications. KEY POINTS: • Lectin-conjugated chitosan nanoparticles exhibit antibacterial activity. • All conjugates are safe for oral epithelial cells and human skin fibroblasts. • The PHA-CHNP conjugates have anticancer activity against HNO-97, HT-29, and A375."

In this single-centre retrospective study, patients with histopathologically confirmed actinic keratosis (n = 121) or cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in situ (n = 99) as their initial keratinocyte-derived lesion were compared and evaluated with regard to development of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma during a 5-year observation period. Patients with severely dysplastic actinic keratosis or cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in situ as their initial lesion developed cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma more rapidly than patients with actinic keratosis with mild or moderate dysplasia. With either actinic keratosis or cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in situ as an initial lesion, advanced age, male sex, comorbidity with basal cell carcinoma, and immunosuppressive medication were associated with elevated risk of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma development. Regarding solely patient with actinic keratosis as their initial lesion male sex, advanced age, immunosuppressive medication, location of the initial lesion, and degree of dysplasia were associated with the risk of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Among patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in situ as their initial lesion, only aspirin usage was associated with increased risk of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

Pembrolizumab and nivolumab, both anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies, were approved by the US FDA for unresectable or metastatic melanoma in 2011 and 2014, respectively, with enduring and transformative outcomes. Despite marked clinical achievements, only a subset of patients manifested a complete response. Approximately 55% of melanoma patients exhibited primary resistance to PD-1 antibodies, with nearly 25% developing secondary resistance within 2 years of treatment. Thus, there is a critical need to comprehensively elucidate the mechanisms underlying the efficacy and resistance to PD-1 blockade. This review discusses the fundamental mechanisms of PD-1 blockade, encompassing insights from T cells and B cells, and presents resistance to anti-PD-1 with a particular focus on tumoral-intrinsic mechanisms in melanoma."

+62,skin cancer,39599008,Double-Condensing Attention Condenser: Leveraging Attention in Deep Learning to Detect Skin Cancer from Skin Lesion Images.,"Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States and is estimated to affect one in five Americans. Recent advances have demonstrated strong performance on skin cancer detection, as exemplified by state of the art performance in the SIIM-ISIC Melanoma Classification Challenge; however, these solutions leverage ensembles of complex deep neural architectures requiring immense storage and computation costs, and therefore may not be tractable. A recent movement for TinyML applications is integrating Double-Condensing Attention Condensers (DC-AC) into a self-attention neural network backbone architecture to allow for faster and more efficient computation. This paper explores leveraging an efficient self-attention structure to detect skin cancer in skin lesion images and introduces a deep neural network design with DC-AC customized for skin cancer detection from skin lesion images. We demonstrate that our approach with only 1.6 million parameters and 0.32 GFLOPs achieves better performance compared to traditional architecture designs as it obtains an area under the ROC curve of 0.90 on the public ISIC 2020 test set and 0.89 on the private ISIC test set, over 0.13 above the best Cancer-Net SCa network architecture design. The final model is publicly available as a part of a global open-source initiative dedicated to accelerating advancement in machine learning to aid clinicians in the fight against cancer. Future work of this research includes iterating on the design of the selected network architecture and refining the approach to generalize to other forms of cancer."
+63,skin cancer,39598801,The Synergistic Mechanism of ,"Melanoma represents a formidable challenge in dermatological oncology due to its resistance to conventional treatments. The Celandine Alkali Injection Formula (CAIF) offers benefits on clinical internal medicine treatments, within which chelidonine and tetrandrine are recognized as potential quality markers. However, their synergistic mechanisms facilitating their anti-melanoma action remain unveiled. This study embarked on an exploration of CAIF's therapeutic potential through a multifaceted research design, integrating system pharmacological predictions with empirical molecular biological evaluations. The dual application of chelidonine and tetrandrine within CAIF exhibited a pronounced inhibitory effect on the proliferation of B16F10 cells, surpassing the effectiveness of individual compound administration. Computational predictions identified the top 50 targets, involved in key signaling pathways including cell cycle regulation, and melanogenesis. RNA sequencing further elucidated that the combinatory treatment modulated a broader spectrum of differentially expressed genes, implicating crucial biological processes including cell differentiation, and tyrosinase metabolism. The combination markedly enhanced melanogenesis and apoptotic indices, arrested cell cycle progression, and fostered cellular differentiation. Notably, chelidonine additionally curtailed the migratory capacity of B16F10 cells. Our findings underscore the therapeutic potential of chelidonine and tetrandrine, key components of CAIF, in effectively combating melanoma by targeting cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, and melanogenesis."
+64,skin cancer,39598798,The Potential of Natural Compounds in UV Protection Products.,"Overexposure to ultraviolet radiation mainly leads to skin disorders (erythema, burns, immunosuppression), skin aging, and skin cancer as the most serious side effect. It has been widely accepted that using sunscreen products is an important way to protect against the harmful effects of UV rays. Although commercial sunscreens have constantly changed and improved over time, there are emerging concerns about the safety of conventional, organic, UV filters due to adverse effects on humans (such as photoallergic dermatitis, contact sensitivity, endocrine-disrupting effects, etc.) as well as accumulation in the environment and aquatic organisms. This is why natural compounds are increasingly being investigated and used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical sunscreens. Some of these compounds are widely available, non-toxic, safer for use, and have considerable UV protective properties and less side effects. Plant-based compounds such as flavonoids can absorb UVA and UVB rays and possess antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, and anti-inflammatory effects that contribute to photoprotection. Apart from flavonoids, other natural products such as certain vegetable oils, carotenoids, stilbenes, and ferulic acid also have UV-absorbing properties. Some vitamins might also be beneficial for skin protection due to their antioxidant activity. Therefore, the aim of this research was to gain insight into the potential of natural compounds to replace or reduce the amount of conventional UV filters, based on recent research."
+65,skin cancer,39598748,Effects of Resveratrol on Adipocytes: Evidence from In Vitro and In Vivo Studies.,"Obesity, a prevalent global health issue, arises from an imbalance between caloric intake and energy expenditure, leading to the expansion of adipose tissue and metabolic dysfunction. White adipose tissue (WAT) stores energy as lipids, while brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays a pivotal role in energy dissipation through adaptive thermogenesis. Recent research initiatives have focused on finding strategies to decrease adipogenesis and fat mass accumulation and increase thermogenesis. Finding chemicals with anti-obesity properties would be beneficial. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic compound abundantly found in the skin of grapes and red wine, possesses anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-obesity properties. This literature review examines the effects of resveratrol on adipocytes in culture and adipose tissue in animal models of obesity. The existing evidence indicates that resveratrol may exert its anti-obesity effects by inhibiting adipogenesis, promoting the apoptosis of mature adipocytes, reducing lipid accumulation, and increasing thermogenesis. Further research utilizing animal and clinical studies is required to understand in detail the anti-obesity potential of resveratrol."

Rarer subtypes of that cancer differ in genomic aberrations, which cause their minor sensibility to regular cutaneous melanoma therapies. Therefore, it is essential to discover new strategies for treating rare forms of melanoma. In recent years, interest in applying CDK inhibitors (CDKIs) in cancer therapy has grown, as they are able to arrest the cell cycle and inhibit cell proliferation. Current studies highlight selective CDK4/6 inhibitors, like palbociclib or abemaciclib, as a very promising therapeutic option, since they were accepted by the FDA for advanced breast cancer treatment. However, cells of every subtype of melanoma do not react to CDKIs the same way, which is partly because of the genetic differences between them. Herein, we discuss the past and current research relevant to targeting various CDKs in mucosal, uveal and acral melanomas. We also briefly describe the issue of amelanotic and desmoplastic types of melanoma and the need to do more research to discover cell cycle dysregulations, which cause the growth of the mentioned forms of cancer."

Using these regimens in neoadjuvant strategy influences surgical treatment by facilitating surgical resection, avoiding extensive resections with complex reconstructions and even omitting surgery in some cases. Integrating systemic therapy with surgery is ongoing and requires novel quality measures of surgical treatment to capture the clinical benefits of multidisciplinary strategies better. The Textbook Outcome (TO) is a novel measure of surgical quality, which captures the short-term outcomes of surgery and reflects long-term survival.

Therefore, this review aims to describe recent findings on neoadjuvant skin cancer treatment and their implications for surgical proceedings in the context of Textbook Outcomes."
+71,skin cancer,39597998,A Narrative Review on Stress and Itch: What We Know and What We Would Like to Know.,"Itch is one of the most prevalent symptoms experienced by patients with inflammatory skin conditions, yet it is also one of the most debilitating. Patients suffering from chronic itch have been found to have significantly higher stress levels compared with those not experiencing itch. In fact, recent studies have revealed a bidirectional relationship between stress and itch, where each condition worsens the other. This is thought to be driven by the vicious itch-scratch cycle, which is fueled by underlying inflammation. The precise molecular pathways and mediators involved, however, remain unclear. This narrative review discusses the existing research on the relationship between stress and itch and outlines future research directions that will be necessary to advance our understanding and treatment of these conditions. Given that the effective management of both symptoms often requires a combined treatment approach, further investigation into their shared mechanisms is essential for identifying successful therapies and improving patient outcomes."

These metastases typically occur on the scalp, face, and trunk, and they can be difficult to diagnose due to their resemblance to benign dermatological tumors. We report the case of a 56-year-old patient with a history of ccRC (TNM stage 4) who was referred to our dermatology department with two rapidly enlarging, painful lesions on the left jawline and scalp, which had developed one month and one week earlier, respectively. On examination, the lesions appeared as well-defined, round to oval plaques with a central ulceration and a peripheral red rim, suggestive of an inflammatory appearance. Dermoscopic examination revealed a structureless pink to orange pattern, atypical central vessels, and irregular linear vessels in a corona-like arrangement. Despite the patient's stable oncological treatment for six months, pain management had recently included paracetamol, tramadol, and NSAIDs. The primary presumptive diagnosis was of cutaneous metastasis, considering the patient's history of metastatic ccRC. However, given the recent initiation of new pharmacological agents, the rapid progression of the cutaneous lesions, and their clinical presentation, alternative differential diagnoses were considered, including drug-induced reactions such as erythema multiforme or fixed drug eruption. A biopsy of the facial lesion revealed immunohistochemical positivity for CD10, CAIX, and PAX8, confirming the diagnosis of metastatic ccRC with sarcomatoid differentiation. Unfortunately, despite continued targeted therapies and palliative care, the patient's condition deteriorated rapidly, leading to death two months later. This case highlights the potential for extremely rapidly evolving cutaneous metastases from ccRC and their capacity to occasionally mimic atypical drug eruptions. Additionally, it reaffirms the poor prognosis of such metastases, as evidenced by the patient's death within two months."

In this retrospective study, we searched for a gene signature potentially predictive of the response to the addition of cetirizine to checkpoint inhibition (nivolumab or pembrolizumab with or without previous ipilimumab). Transcriptomic analysis showed that inducible T cell costimulator ligand (ICOSLG) expression directly correlated with the disease control rate (DCR) when detected with a loading value > 0.3. A multivariable logistic regression model showed a positive association between the DCR and ICOSLG expression for progression-free survival and overall survival. ICOSLG expression was associated with CD64, a specific marker of M1 macrophages, at baseline in the patient samples who received cetirizine concomitantly with checkpoint inhibitors, but this association was not present in subjects who had not received cetirizine. In conclusion, our results show that the clinical advantage of concomitant treatment with cetirizine during checkpoint inhibition in patients with malignant melanoma is associated with high ICOSLG expression, which could predict the response to immune checkpoint inhibitor blockade."
+76,skin cancer,39596498,Impact of Rab27 on Melanoma Cell Invasion and sEV Secretion.,"The migratory and invasive capabilities of melanoma cells contribute to metastasis. Therefore, targeting the genes driving these processes can support melanoma therapy. Rab27A and Rab27B contribute to tumor formation progression in many types of cancer through various mechanisms, including the secretion of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs). We explored the role of these GTPases in melanoma cell functioning in three RAB27A knockout (KO) cell lines (A375, DMBC12, and SkMel28) and a double RAB27A/B KO A375 cell line. The loss of RAB27A impaired the migration and invasion of DMBC12 and SkMel28 cells; however, the behavior of highly aggressive A375 cells was unaffected. The RAB27A/B double knockout moderately decreased the migratory capacity of A375 cells without disturbing their invasiveness. Additionally, the silencing of RAB27A did not affect the number and mean size of the sEVs, despite some alterations in the protein content of the vesicles. Both Rab27 isoforms can, at least partially, act independently. The potential role of Rab27A in the functioning of melanoma cells depends on the individual character of the cell line, but not on its basal expression, and seems to be unrelated to the secretion of sEVs."

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the mTOR kinase inhibitor everolimus and chloroquine on the regulation of proliferation, caspase-3 activation, and apoptosis in melanoma cells. We studied the activity of caspase-3 and the levels of caspase-3 and -9 using the Western blot technique. Cellular apoptosis was examined using a DNA fragmentation assay, and changes in the cell nucleus and cytoskeleton were examined using fluorescence microscopy DAPI, OA/IP. We also studied the rearrangement of lipid structures using fluorescent dyes: Nile Red and Nile Blue. A low nanomolar concentration of the mTOR kinase inhibitor everolimus in combination with chloroquine activated the apoptosis process and decreased cell proliferation. These changes were accompanied by an obvious change in cell morphology and rearrangement of lipid structures. Alterations in lipid redistribution accompanying the process of apoptosis and autophagy are among the first to occur in the cell and can be easily monitored in in vitro studies. The combination of mTOR inhibitors and chloroquine represents a promising area of research in cancer therapy. It has the potential to enhance treatment efficacy through complementary mechanisms."

Clinical observations on these common skin cancers lead to insight into the pathogenesis and potential prevention and treatment of cutaneous scalp neoplasia. Our hypothesis is that the presence of hair protects against the development of skin cancer but not by serving as a physical shield but rather by providing continuous IL-17-biased immunosurveillance. The loss of hair allows for a release from immunosurveillance, resulting in the expansion of neoplastic cells towards skin cancer.

BRAF mutations drive uncontrolled cell division by activating the MAPK pathway. In this study, A375 and FO-1, BRAF-mutated melanoma cell lines, were treated for 4-5 months with RAF inhibitor dabrafenib or AZ628, leading to drug resistance over time. The resistant cells showed altered molecular signatures, with differences in cell cycle regulation and the propensity of cell death. Dabrafenib-resistant cells maintained high proliferative activity, while AZ628-resistant cells, especially A375 cells, exhibited slow-cycling, and a senescent-like phenotype with high susceptibility to ferroptosis, a form of cell death driven by iron. Antiretroviral drugs doravirine and cabotegravir, known for their effects on human endogenous retroviruses, were tested for their impact on these resistant melanoma cells.

+82,skin cancer,39595528,Psoriasis: The Versatility of Mesenchymal Stem Cell and Exosome Therapies.,"Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multilineage differentiating stromal cells with extensive immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. MSC-based therapy is widely used in the treatment of various pathologies, including bone and cartilage diseases, cardiac ischemia, diabetes, and neurological disorders. Along with MSCs, it is promising to study the therapeutic properties of exosomes derived from MSCs (MSC-Exo). A number of studies report that the therapeutic properties of MSC-Exo are superior to those of MSCs. In particular, MSC-Exo are used for tissue regeneration in various diseases, such as healing of skin wounds, cancer, coronary heart disease, lung injury, liver fibrosis, and neurological, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases. In this regard, it is not surprising that the scientific community is interested in studying the therapeutic properties of MSCs and MSC-Exo in the treatment of psoriasis. This review summarizes the recent advancements from preclinical and clinical studies of MSCs and MSC-Exo in the treatment of psoriasis, and it also discusses their mechanisms of therapeutic action involved in the treatment of this disease."

PROMs from radiotherapy trials were identified from previous research and assessed against the United Kingdom Royal College of Radiologists' guidelines for tumour-site-specific side-effects. The analysis revealed that none of the 51 identified PROMs captured the full range of side-effects, with only 25 addressing fatigue and 6 addressing radiation-induced skin reactions. Three PROMs failed to identify any common side-effects, and eight identified only one. Overall, 88% of PROMs lacked specificity to radiotherapy and PBT, posing a risk of missing significant differences between treatment techniques. This study emphasises the need for more targeted PROMs in future trials. Until new or improved PROMs are available, great thought and caution should be taken when selecting PROMs for trial endpoints."

This paper reviews the current therapeutic strategies for melanoma brain metastases, with a focus on delayed and concurrent stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). While surgery and traditional chemotherapy offer limited efficacy, recent advances in immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), have played a major role in the advancement and improved efficacy of the treatment of cancers, including brain metastases. Recent studies indicate that monotherapy with ICIs may lead to a higher median overall survival compared to historical benchmarks, potentially allowing patients to delay radiosurgery. Other studies have found that combining SRS with ICIs demonstrates promise, with results indicating improved intracranial control. Ongoing clinical trials explore novel combinations of immunotherapies and radiotherapies, aiming to optimize treatment outcomes while minimizing adverse effects. As treatment options expand, future studies will be necessary to understand the interplay between therapies and their optimal sequencing to improve patient outcomes."
+86,skin cancer,39594665,Extracellular Matrix as a Target in Melanoma Therapy: From Hypothesis to Clinical Trials.,"Melanoma is a malignant, highly metastatic neoplasm showing increasing morbidity and mortality. Tumor invasion and angiogenesis are based on remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Selective inhibition of functional components of cell-ECM interaction, such as hyaluronic acid (HA), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and integrins, may inhibit tumor progression and enhance the efficacy of combination treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), chemotherapy, or immunotherapy. In this review, we combine the results of different approaches targeting extracellular matrix elements in melanoma in preclinical and clinical studies. The identified limitations of many approaches, including side effects, low selectivity, and toxicity, indicate the need for further studies to optimize therapy. Nevertheless, significant progress in expanding our understanding of tumor biology and the development of targeted therapies holds great promise for the early approaches developed several decades ago to inhibit metastasis through ECM targeting."
+87,skin cancer,39594580,Modifying the Glycocalyx of Melanoma Cells via Metabolic Glycoengineering Using ,"Tumor cells are decorated with aberrant glycan structures on cell surfaces. It is well known that the glycocalyx serves as a main cellular regulator, although its role in cancer is still not completely understood. Over recent decades, several non-natural monosaccharides carrying clickable groups have been introduced in melanoma cells. This technique, called Metabolic Glycoengineering (MGE), opens up the possibility of altering the cell's glycocalyx via click chemistry using a two-step approach. This study expands the field of MGE by showing the successful metabolic incorporation of novel alternative artificial glucosamine derivatives. The latter were either deoxygenated or blocked by methyl ether in position 4 to generate deficient glycosylation patterns, while being extended by an alkyne to enable click chemistry as a one-step approach. As a result, we observed a reduced proliferation rate of melanoma cells. Furthermore, using a lectin array, the decrease in high mannose epitopes was observed. In summary, the successful use of alternative artificial glucosamine derivatives enabled a significant alteration in the glycocalyx, consequently influencing cell behavior."

(2) Methods: This research is a prospective study conducted over a period of 6 months involving patients admitted in the Department of Surgery II, Cluj County Emergency Clinical Hospital. The specific questionnaire designed by us for patients with colorectal cancer contains questions about the quality of life and symptoms such as weight loss, pain, constipation, and diarrhoea. (3) Results: Our prospective study included in the analysis 50 patients with colorectal cancer. The CR 29 questionnaire outlined scores below 30 for sore skin, urinary incontinence, dysuria, faecal incontinence, flatulence, discomfort from bowel movement, sexual dysfunction and hair loss. The CR 30 functioning scale depicted high scores for cognitive (100%, 95% CI [0.91-1]), physical (88%, 95% CI [0.75-0.95]), and functional (88%, 95% CI [0.39-0.68]) domains and low scores (<50) for emotional (98%, 95% CI [0.88-0.99]) and social (100%, 95% CI [0.91-1]) functions.

+89,skin cancer,39593832,A Unified Multi-Task Learning Model with Joint Reverse Optimization for Simultaneous Skin Lesion Segmentation and Diagnosis.,"Classifying and segmenting skin cancer represent pivotal objectives for automated diagnostic systems that utilize dermoscopy images. However, these tasks present significant challenges due to the diverse shape variations of skin lesions and the inherently fuzzy nature of dermoscopy images, including low contrast and the presence of artifacts. Given the robust correlation between the classification of skin lesions and their segmentation, we propose that employing a combined learning method holds the promise of considerably enhancing the performance of both tasks. In this paper, we present a unified multi-task learning strategy that concurrently classifies abnormalities of skin lesions and allows for the joint segmentation of lesion boundaries. This approach integrates an optimization technique known as joint reverse learning, which fosters mutual enhancement through extracting shared features and limiting task dominance across the two tasks. The effectiveness of the proposed method was assessed using two publicly available datasets, ISIC 2016 and PH"

The debate over which formula best supports wound healing in various surgical procedures is still ongoing. This study aims to assess the whole proteome assembly, cell content, immunological potential and pro-angiogenic potential of second-generation APC, Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) vs. first-generation APC, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). The global proteome of the APCs was analyzed using nano-liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. Blood cell concentrations were determined by an automated cell counter. The effect of APCs on macrophage polarization was analyzed by flow cytometry. A yolk sac membrane (YSM) assay was used to monitor the neo-vessel formation and capillary branching in vivo. Cell count analysis revealed a higher number/concentration of leukocytes in PRF vs. PRP. Incubation of macrophages with PRP or platelet-free plasma (PFP) did not induce a significant pro-inflammatory state but led to a shift to the M0/M2 phenotype as seen in wound healing for all tested formulas. Label-free proteomics analysis identified a total of 387 proteins from three biological replicates of the respective designated groups. PRF induced increased formation of neo-vessels and branching points in vivo in comparison to PRP and PFP (each "

+92,skin cancer,39592599,"Trapping of spermine, Kukoamine A, and polyamine toxin blockers in GluK2 kainate receptor channels.","Kainate receptors (KARs) are a subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptor (iGluR) channels, a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels which mediate the majority of excitatory neurotransmission in the central nervous system. KARs modulate neuronal circuits and plasticity during development and are implicated in neurological disorders, including epilepsy, depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, and autism. Calcium-permeable KARs undergo ion channel block, but the therapeutic potential of channel blockers remains underdeveloped, mainly due to limited structural knowledge. Here, we present closed-state structures of GluK2 KAR homotetramers in complex with ion channel blockers NpTx-8, PhTx-74, Kukoamine A, and spermine. We find that blockers reside inside the GluK2 ion channel pore, intracellular to the closed M3 helix bundle-crossing gate, with their hydrophobic heads filling the central cavity and positively charged polyamine tails spanning the selectivity filter. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of our structures illuminate interactions responsible for different affinity and binding poses of the blockers. Our structures elucidate the trapping mechanism of KAR channel block and provide a template for designing new blockers that can selectively target calcium-permeable KARs in neuropathologies."
+93,skin cancer,39592443,Enriched class II HLA inherence in patients with checkpoint inhibitor-associated bullous pemphigoid.,"Melanoma, with increasing annual incidence worldwide, is one of the deadliest cutaneous malignancies often treated with immunotherapy, which has led to commonly encountered immune-related adverse events (irAEs) including bullous pemphigoid (BP). The relation between an individual's HLA inheritance and risk in development of BP is well studied. The development of BP as an irAE in melanoma patients receiving immunotherapy is also well reported and considered to be related to the expression of BP180 in malignant melanoma. In presented work, the association of enriched presence of certain HLA alleles and haplotypes that increase risk of developing BP as an irAE has been investigated in seven cutaneous cancer patients who presented with immunotherapy-associated BP, diagnosed by skin biopsy and positive serology for anti-BP 180 autoantibody. Their HLA typing revealed an enriched presence of certain BP-related HLA alleles, and haplotypes, particularly HLA-DQB1*03:01, which was present in all seven patients, whilst its occurrence in the general population is very low. Additionally, some patients had more than one and in a few patients had the whole haplotype of BP related HLA. Not only can such enriched presence be considered a role in risk stratification to initiate or continue immunotherapy, but it may shed a light to existing disease genotypes that can become unmasked to phenotypic clinically presenting BP due to immunotherapy rather than just a random AE."

Cytoskeletal remodeling is a key factor in the progression of CMM. Previous research has shown that activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) inhibits metastasis in bladder cancer by regulating actin cytoskeleton remodeling through gelsolin. However, whether ATF3 plays a similar role in cytoskeletal remodeling in CMM cells remains unknown. Various gene and protein expression analyses were performed using techniques such as reverse transcription quantitative PCR, western blot, immunofluorescent staining, and immunohistochemical staining. CMM viability, migration, and invasion were examined through cell counting kit-8 and transwell assays. The interactions between cell division cycle 42 (CDC42) and ATF3 were investigated using chromatin immunoprecipitation and dual-luciferase reporter assays. CDC42 was upregulated in CMM tissues and cells. Cytoskeletal remodeling of CMM cells, as well as CMM cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, were inhibited by CDC42 or ATF3. ATF3 targeted the CDC42 promoter region to regulate its transcriptional activity. ATF3 suppresses cytoskeletal remodeling in CMM cells, thereby inhibiting CMM progression and metastasis through CDC42. This research may provide a foundation for using ATF3 as a therapeutic target for CMM."

This flap is one of the most versatile options for reconstructing various skin defects across different areas of the body. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the advancement flap for reconstructing the paralateronasal region after the excision of skin cancer. The following article presents a retrospective case series of 6 patients in whom the advancement flap was used to reconstruct skin defects resulting from malignant tumor resections in the paralateronasal region. No restrictions were collected regarding etiology, location, size, age, sex, or any other patient factors. The recruited patients were treated in the Maxillofacial Surgery Unit of Floraspe Renzetti Hospital of Lanciano, and the study was conducted in collaboration with Sapienza University of Rome, from February 2023 to February 2024. All the flaps settled with no complications, and all the patients were FOD (free of disease) 6 months after surgery. So, in accordance with the literature, the advancement flap turns out to be a rapid and reliable option that could be easily applied for cutaneous defects of the face even for the oldest and/or emaciated patient."

Specifically, dogs and cats share the same environment as their owners and thus may serve as sentinels of naturally occurring tumors that are linked to the exposure to environmental hazards. Quantitative comparison of tumor types may reveal unusual cancer frequencies, providing directions for research and generation of hypotheses of cancer causation in a specific area and identification of risk factors. The aim of this study was to describe the data collected by the pathology-based animal cancer registry, managed by Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale dell'Abruzzo e del Molise (IZSAM), during 10 years of activity (2014-2023) and to assess its potential epidemiological relevance. Frequencies of tumor topography and morphology in dogs and cats were described, analyzed and compared. Proportional morbidity ratios (PMRs) were calculated, taking into consideration some potential risk factors such as species, breed, sex, diet and living environment. The database comprises 5311 tumors (n = 4719 in dogs and n = 592 in cats), with a higher prevalence in females (67.3% in dogs and 61.2% in cats). The mean age at the first diagnosis of tumors was similar between sexes and slightly lower in dogs compared to cats. PMRs highlighted certain risk and ""protective"" factors for the development of tumors in specific topography. The risk of developing tumors of the blood and hematopoietic system (PMR = 0.44; 95% CI: 0.21-0.94), skin and subcutaneous tissues (PMR = 0.70; 95% CI: 0.61-0.80), oral cavity and pharynx (PMR = 0.60; 95% CI: 0.24-0.89), urinary organs (PMR = 0.33; 95% CI: 0.11-0.99) and bones, joints and cartilage (PMR = 0.72; 95% CI: 0.22-0.98) was lower in non-neutered male dogs than in neutered male dogs. Non-spayed female dogs had a greater risk of developing tumors of the mammary gland (PMR = 1.75; 95% CI: 1.57-1.96), female sexual organs (PMR = 2.12; 95% CI: 1.01-4.36) and respiratory system (PMR = 2.25; 95% CI: 1.55-6.74) but less risk for cutaneous and subcutaneous tissue tumors (PMR = 0.44; 95% CI: 0.38-0.51) and blood/hematopoietic system tumors (PMR = 0.47; 95% CI: 0.26-0.85) compared to spayed female dogs. Compared with mixed breed, purebred dogs had a significantly greater risk of developing mammary gland tumors (PMR = 1.36; 95% CI: 1.20-1.54) and lower risk for respiratory (PMR = 0.15; 95% CI: 0.07-0.32), gastrointestinal (PMR = 0.63; 95% CI: 0.34-0.94) and oral (PMR = 0.59; 95% CI: 0.36-0.96) neoplasia. Non-neutered male cats had a lower risk of developing skin and subcutaneous tumors (PMR = 0.68; 95% CI: 0.50-0.92) compared with neutered cats. The risk of developing skin and subcutaneous tissues tumors was higher for dogs and cats that lived mostly outdoor (PMR dogs = 1.21; 95% CI: 1.10-1.33; PMR cats = 1.18; 95% CI: 1.08-1.47), while dogs that live mainly indoor had a greater risk to develop mammary gland tumors (PMR = 0.78; 95% CI: 0.68-0.89). Results described herein highlight the fundamental role of animal cancer registration initiatives. These efforts would contribute to the possibility of conducting multicentric collaborative studies to deepen the knowledge of the epidemiology of tumors in dogs and cats from a comparative perspective, thus fulfilling the One Health approach."

These vesicles play a crucial role in immunomodulation by influencing macrophage differentiation and cytokine production, potentially aiding in the treatment of conditions such as bone loss, fibrosis, and cancer. mEVs also have the capacity to modulate gut microbiota composition, which may alleviate the symptoms of inflammatory bowel diseases and promote intestinal barrier integrity. Their potential as drug delivery vehicles is significant, enhancing the stability, solubility, and bioavailability of anticancer agents while supporting wound healing and reducing inflammation. Additionally, bovine mEVs exhibit anti-aging properties and protect skin cells from UV damage. As vaccine platforms, mEVs offer advantages including biocompatibility, antigen protection, and the ability to elicit robust immune responses through targeted delivery to specific immune cells. Despite these promising applications, challenges persist, including their complex roles in cancer, effective antigen loading, regulatory hurdles, and the need for standardized production methods. Achieving high targeting specificity and understanding the long-term effects of mEV-based therapies are essential for clinical translation. Ongoing research aims to optimize mEV production methods, enhance targeting capabilities, and conduct rigorous preclinical and clinical studies. By addressing these challenges, mEVs hold the potential to revolutionize vaccine development and targeted drug delivery, ultimately improving therapeutic outcomes across various medical fields."

Yet, it is also a very dangerous compound for people who are occupationally exposed to it for a long time, such as pharmacy employees, nurses and cleaning staff. We aimed to improve and implement a LC-MS/MS method for 5-FU quantification on surface contamination samples collected with swabs in a pharmacy department and outpatient nursing station of a university hospital. To improve the existing methods to quantify 5-FU, we compared a LC-MS/MS method using the frequently applied electrospray ionization source (ESI) with a UniSpray ionization source (USI). To determine the contamination of 5-FU in a pharmacy department preparing 5-FU infusion bags, which are then given to patients in the outpatient nursing stations, we collected multiple surface swabs of the laminar flow cabinets and frequently touched objects, before the preparation and administration of 5-FU and afterwards. Furthermore, we sampled the protective gloves and the bare hands of employees of the pharmacy department, involved in the preparation of the infusion bags. Using the USI source, we were able to reach the lowest limit of quantification (LOQ). With this technique, we were able to detect 5-FU contamination on the laminar flow cabinets and frequently used objects in the pharmacy department and the outpatient nursing station in the very low ng/cm"

Currently, diagnosis is heavily based on physicians' judgment and experience, which can occasionally lead to the worsening of the lesion or needless biopsies. Several non-invasive imaging modalities, e.g., confocal scanning laser microscopy or multiphoton laser scanning microscopy, have been explored for skin cancer assessment, which have been aligned with different artificial intelligence (AI) strategies to assist in the diagnostic task, based on several image features, thus making the process more reliable and faster. This systematic review concerns the implementation of AI methods for skin tumor classification with different imaging modalities, following the PRISMA guidelines. In total, 206 records were retrieved and qualitatively analyzed. Diagnostic potential was found for several techniques, particularly for dermoscopy images, with strategies yielding classification results close to perfection. Learning approaches based on support vector machines and artificial neural networks seem to be preferred, with a recent focus on convolutional neural networks. Still, detailed descriptions of training/testing conditions are lacking in some reports, hampering reproduction. The use of AI methods in skin cancer diagnosis is an expanding field, with future work aiming to construct optimal learning approaches and strategies. Ultimately, early detection could be optimized, improving patient outcomes, even in areas where healthcare is scarce."

It commonly presents as cutaneous lesions. To date, no standard treatment protocol for BPDCN exists. Traditionally treated similarly to acute leukemia or lymphoma, its prognosis remains poor. Radiation therapy is employed for isolated skin lesions, for patients that are ineligible for chemotherapy due to age or comorbidities and for post-chemotherapy recurrence. However, very limited reports are available on radiotherapy for BPDCN. We present a case involving a 94-year-old BPDCN patient treated with radiation therapy, highlighting an atypical situation of two separate radiotherapy sessions with different dosages for isolated skin lesions. Initially, 45 Gy was administered in 15 fractions (45 Gy/15 Fr), followed by a second session of 30 Gy in 10 fractions (30 Gy/10 Fr) after disease recurrence. This case is unique in detailing radiation therapy for the exceedingly rare BPDCN, particularly dose fractionation. The findings indicate that 45 Gy/15 Fr can provide adequate local control, while even a lower dose of 30 Gy/10 Fr may be effective. This case report contributes to the limited literature by proposing potential therapeutic approaches and dosage guidelines to refine future BPDCN treatment protocols."

Despite this risk, standardized guidelines for skin cancer risk stratification and screening in SOTRs are lacking in the United States. This scoping review aims to summarize existing evidence on skin cancer prevention and screening protocols to inform the development of standardized guidelines. A systematic search was conducted using OVID, MEDLINE, and CINAHL Plus databases, focusing on English-language articles published between January 1, 2019, and February 12, 2023. The review included studies addressing skin cancer risk stratification, screening, and preventive therapies in adult SOTRs. Data extraction followed the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis PRISMA guidelines, with articles graded for quality using the Strength of Recommendation Taxonomy (SORT). Thirty-six articles were included in the review. The findings revealed that most studies focused on skin cancer screening protocols (36%) and chemoprevention treatments (31%) for SOTRs. The SUNTRAC tool, developed in 2019, emerged as a validated risk stratification model. Preventive strategies identified include systemic treatments like low-dose acitretin, capecitabine, niacinamide, and topical therapies such as 5-fluorouracil and photodynamic therapy. Preventive strategy strength of evidence was graded and summarized into a practical reference table. Patient education, particularly through electronic methods, was highlighted as essential for fostering photoprotective behaviors. The review highlights the need for standardized skin cancer screening and prevention guidelines for SOTRs, with the SUNTRAC tool providing a robust model for risk stratification. Future research should focus on validating the SUNTRAC tool across diverse populations, conducting randomized controlled trials on topical chemoprevention, and enhancing patient education, particularly among Skin of Color patients."

Focal areas of reticular disruption have been described as one of the earliest dermoscopic signs observed. To describe a novel dermoscopic sign in LM, namely the presence of a parallel pigmented network. Case series of 22 histopathologically-proven LM and lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM), diagnosed between 2018 and 2023, at a tertiary centre. All lesions showed a parallel network upon dermoscopy, in the form of parallel reticular lines, light or dark brown in colour, not emanating from the follicle, with an asymmetrical distribution. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) images were reviewed to correlate these areas. The median age of patients was 73 years old. The majority of lesions were in situ (91%) and extrafacial (82%). Lesions showed minimal signs of atypia other than a parallel network and mostly focal erased areas (100%), followed by perifollicular linear projections (18%) and asymmetrical follicular pigmentation (18%). On RCM, focally areas correlated with atypical junctional thickenings distributed in a parallel fashion (100%) and mitochondria-like structures (23%). Most cases (88%) showed atypical cells in the epidermis, mostly in the form of isolated dendritic cells (41%). Parallel network emerges as a potential dermoscopic sign associated with LM. We hypothesize that in early stages of LM transformation, disruption of the reticular network manifests as parallel lines and/or radial perifollicular lines. Validation with larger studies is warranted."

VAV1 is a hematopoietic signal transducer and an oncogene in various cancers, however, the relevance of aberrant VAV1 expression in CTCL pathogenesis remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the expression pattern and underlying pathogenic mechanisms of VAV1 in CTCLs. The expression of VAV1 in CTCL tumour tissues and benign inflammatory dermatoses skin samples were examined by immunohistochemistry. CTCL cells were also transfected with lentiviral-based VAV1 gene knockdown vectors, and the effects of VAV1 knockdown on cell proliferation and apoptosis in CTCL cells was determined by MTS assay and flow cytometry. Transcriptomic sequencing was performed to detect the direct downstream targets of VAV1 silencing. RT-qPCR and western blot analysis were used to verify the transcriptomic analysis results. High expression of VAV1 was observed in CTCL tissues (n = 25) compared with benign inflammatory dermatoses (n = 23) using immunohistochemistry. VAV1 knockdown in two CTCL cell lines decreased cell proliferation and increased the percentage of apoptotic cells. Moreover, messenger RNA and protein expression of Bcl-2-modifying factor was increased, whereas that of bone morphogenetic proteins and activin membrane-bound inhibitor was downregulated in VAV1-silenced CTCL cells. VAV1 silencing induces apoptosis and inhibits cell growth, which is associated with upregulation of Bcl-2 modifying factor and downregulation of bone morphogenetic proteins and activin membrane-bound inhibitor. Therefore, VAV1 may be a potential tumour marker and therapeutic target for CTCLs."

This study investigated the potential of AI-generated image training to improve diagnostic skills for these eyelid tumors compared to traditional video lecture-based education. Students from Orthoptics, Optometry, and Vision Research (n = 55) were randomly assigned to either an AI-generated image training group or a traditional video lecture group. Diagnostic performance was assessed using a 50-image quiz before and after the intervention. Both groups showed significant improvement in overall diagnostic accuracy (p < 0.001), with no significant difference between groups (p = 0.124). In the AI group, all 25 chalazion images showed improvement, while only 6 out of 25 sebaceous carcinoma images improved. The video lecture group showed improvement in 19 out of 25 chalazion images and 24 out of 25 sebaceous carcinoma images. The proportion of images with improved accuracy was significantly higher in the AI group for chalazion (P = 0.022) and in the video group for sebaceous carcinoma (P < 0.001). These findings suggest that AI-generated image training can enhance diagnostic skills for rare conditions, but its effectiveness depends on the quality and quantity of patient images used for optimization. Combining AI-generated image training with traditional video lectures may lead to more effective educational programs. Further research is needed to explore AI's potential in medical education and improve diagnostic skills for rare diseases."
+118,skin cancer,39587061,In vivo gene editing of T-cells in lymph nodes for enhanced cancer immunotherapy.,"Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy, while promising for cancer treatment, faces challenges like unexpected side effects and limited objective responses. Here, we develop an in vivo gene-editing strategy for improving ICB cancer therapy in a lastingly effective manner. The approach uses a conductive hydrogel-based electroporation system to enable nucleofection of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) targeted CRISPR-Cas9 DNAs into T-cells directly within the lymph nodes, and subsequently produces PD1-deficient T-cells to combat tumor growth, metastasis and recurrence in different melanoma models in mice. Following in vivo gene editing, animals show enhanced cellular and humoral immune responses along with multi-fold increases of effector T-cells infiltration to the solid tumors, preventing tumor recurrence and prolonging their survival. These findings provide a proof-of-concept for direct in vivo T-cell engineering via localized gene-editing for enhanced cancer immunotherapy, and also unlock the possibilities of using this method to treat more complex human diseases."

Accurate staging of PCa, particularly the assessment of extra-prostatic extension (EPE), is critical for prognosis and treatment planning. EPE, typically evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is associated with higher risks of positive surgical margins, biochemical recurrence, metastasis, and reduced overall survival. Despite the widespread use of MRI, there is no consensus on diagnosing EPE via imaging. There are two main scores assessing EPE by MRI: the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) score and an MRI-based EPE grading system from an American group. While both are widely recognized, their differences can lead to varying interpretations in specific cases. This paper clarifies the anatomical considerations in diagnosing locally advanced PCa, explores EPE's impact on treatment and prognosis, and evaluates the relevance of MRI findings according to different criteria. Accurate EPE diagnosis remains challenging due to MRI limitations and inconsistencies in interpretation. Understanding these variations is crucial for optimal patient management."

To address these challenges, we developed magnetoelectric, cobalt ferrite@barium titanate (CFO@BTO) nanofibers, with a core-shell structure for targeted anticancer drug delivery. The electrospinning method was employed to synthesize polymeric nanofibers based on magnetoelectric core-shell nanostructures. The Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) analysis confirmed the successful loading of nanostructures on polymeric nanofiber, the core-shell morphology and magnetoelectric phase of cobalt ferrite@barium titanate CFO@BTO, respectively. To verify the drug attachment, the optimization of drug release in an applied external magnetic field, and the time required for control drug release, UV-Vis spectroscopy was used. The effectiveness of magnetic field-assisted controlled drug release was demonstrated by achieving a 95 ± 1.03% drug release from magnetoelectric nanofibers (MENFs) within 30 minutes under a magnetic field of 4mT. In vitro cytotoxicity assay on human skin cancer (SK-MEL-28) cell lines exhibited a maximum 90 ± 2% cytotoxicity with 2±0.03 cm of drug loaded MENFs.

+139,skin cancer,39582871,Exploring mechanisms of skin aging: insights for clinical treatment.,"The skin is the largest organ in the human body and is made up of various cells and structures. Over time, the skin will age, which is not only influenced by internal factors, but also by external environmental factors, especially ultraviolet radiation. Aging causes immune system weakening in the elderly, which makes them more susceptible to dermatosis, such as type 2 inflammatory mediated pruritus. The immune response in this condition is marked by senescent cells consistently releasing low amounts of pro-inflammatory cytokines through a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). This continuous inflammation may accelerate immune system aging and establish a connection between immune aging and type 2 inflammatory skin diseases. In addition, two chronic pigmentation disorders, vitiligo and chloasma, are also associated with skin aging. Aged cells escape the immune system and accumulate in tissues, forming a microenvironment that promotes cancer. At the same time, ""photoaging"" caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation is also an important cause of skin cancer. This manuscript describes the possible links between skin aging and type 2 inflammation, chronic pigmentation disorders, and skin cancer and suggests some treatment options."

Although research focuses on how the accumulation of oncogene and tumor suppressor gene mutations in melanocytes drive melanomagenesis, how alterations in keratinocytes serve as extrinsic drivers of melanoma initiation and progression is poorly understood. We recently identified keratinocyte desmoglein 1 (Dsg1) as an mediator of keratinocyte:melanoma crosstalk. Here we address the extent to which Dsg1 loss, which occurs in response to environmental stress such as ultraviolet radiation, affects early steps in melanomagenesis.

Mesenchymal stem cell-based transplantation for osteoporosis is a promising new therapeutic strategy. Induced mesenchymal stem cells (iMSCs) are a new option for stem cell transplantation therapy. Acquired mouse skin fibroblasts were transduced and reprogrammed into induced pluripotent cells and further induced to differentiate into iMSCs. The iMSCs were tested for pluripotency markers, trilineage differentiation ability, cell surface molecular marker tests, and gene expression patterns. The iMSCs were injected into the tail vein of mice by tail vein injection, and the distribution of cells in various organs was observed. The effect of iMSCs on the bone mass of mice was detected after injection into the mouse osteoporosis model. The effects of iMSCs infusion on metabolites in femoral tissue and peripheral blood plasma were detected based on LC-MS untargeted metabolomics. iMSCs have similar morphology, immunophenotype, in vitro differentiation potential, and gene expression patterns as mesenchymal stem cells. The iMSCs were heavily distributed in the lungs after infusion and gradually decreased over time. The iMSCs in the femoral bone marrow cavity gradually increased with time. iMSCs infusion significantly avoided bone loss due to oophorectomy. The results of untargeted metabolomics suggest that amino acid and lipid metabolic pathways are key factors involved in iMSCs bone protection and prevention of osteoporosis formation. iMSCs obtained by reprogramming-induced differentiation had cellular properties similar to those of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. The iMSCs could promote the remodelling of bone structure in ovariectomy-induced osteoporotic mice and affect the changes of several key metabolites in bone and peripheral blood. Some of these metabolites can serve as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for iMSCs intervention in osteoporosis. Investigating the effects of iMSCs on osteoporosis and the influence of metabolic pathways will provide new ideas and methods for the clinical treatment of osteoporosis."

Combination therapies have proven beneficial, particularly if they incorporate extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP). The NF-κB inhibitor dimethyl fumarate (DMF) has proven a new, effective drug in CTCL in a clinical phase II study. In vitro experiments with patient-derived SS cells and the CTCL cell lines HH, HuT 78, and SeAx revealed a synergistic effect of DMF and ECP on cell death induction in CTCL cells. Furthermore, an additional increase in the capacity to inhibit NF-κB in CTCL was detected for the combination treatment compared to DMF monotherapy. The same synergistic effects could be measured for ROS production via decreased Thioredoxin reductase activity and glutathione levels. Consequently, a cell death inhibitor screen indicated that the DMF/ECP combination treatment induces a variety of cell death mechanisms in CTCL. As a first step into clinical translation, 4 patients were already treated with the DMF/ECP combination therapy with an overall response rate of 100% and a time to next treatment in skin and blood of up to 57 months. Therefore, our study introduces the combination treatment of DMF and ECP as a highly effective and long-lasting CTCL therapy."

These include excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), repeated inflammatory, and severe skin ulceration, all of which can hinder the wound healing process. As a result, there is a pressing need for multifunctional medical dressings that can support wound repair following radiotherapy. In this study, we introduced a novel double-network interpenetrating hydrogel (GEMC), which combined gelatin grafted dopamine (GEDA), acrylamide, nano-clay (NC), and curcumin loaded nanoparticles (CCNPs). Unlike traditional single-function hydrogels, the GEMC hydrogel offered a combination of antioxidant properties, tissue adhesion, and real time drug tracking, effectively addressing the multifaceted challenges of wound healing after radiotherapy. The GEMC hydrogel exhibited impressive antioxidant activity and superior mechanical properties, which collectively improve the support and protection of wounded surfaces. Furthermore, GEMC promoted skin regeneration, angiogenesis and reduced inflammatory in a mouse model of radiotherapy-induced skin ulceration. These results highlight the hydrogel's potential to accelerate would healing and enhance the effectiveness of post-radiotherapy wound care, providing a promising new approach to improving the quality of skin recovery following radiotherapy."

While conventional staining methods involve time-consuming chemical processes, digital staining offers an efficient and low-infrastructure alternative. Researchers can expedite tissue analysis without physical sectioning by leveraging microscopy-based techniques, such as confocal microscopy. However, interpreting grayscale or pseudo-color microscopic images remains challenging for pathologists and surgeons accustomed to traditional histologically stained images. To fill this gap, various studies explore digitally simulating staining to mimic targeted histological stains. This paper introduces a novel network, In-and-Out Net, designed explicitly for digital staining tasks. Based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), our model efficiently transforms Reflectance Confocal Microscopy (RCM) images into Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained images. Using aluminum chloride preprocessing for skin tissue, we enhance nuclei contrast in RCM images.

Advances in genomic analysis have underscored the crucial role of T cells in tumor immunity. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have notably transformed melanoma treatment by boosting T cell activity. Studies of gene expression have found that the phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate kinase 2A (PIP4K2A) gene is abnormally expressed in various tumors, indicating its potential role in tumor progression. Utilizing single-cell sequencing and machine learning, researchers can now explore the complex interactions between T cells and melanoma cells at a genomic level. This study aimed to investigate the role of the PIP4K2A gene in cutaneous malignant melanoma, with a focus on its influence on T cell-mediated immune responses."
+162,skin cancer,39579004,Investigating the inhibitory potential of natural bioactive compounds against cyclin-dependent kinase 13: virtual high throughput screening and MD simulation studies to target CDK signaling.,"Cyclin-dependent kinase 13 (CDK13) belongs to the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) family that is actively involved in transcription regulation and RNA splicing. CDK13 binds with its partner, cyclin K, to regulate several biological processes. CDK13 and cyclin K complex phosphorylates RNA pol II carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) at several serine residues, creating transcription elongation. The upregulation of the kinase contributes to tumor growth and cell proliferation, and is highly associated with various cancers, including skin, stomach, and ovarian. Thus, it can be considered an efficient therapeutic target for the development of drugs against cancer. In this work, a virtual high throughput screening (vHTS) of the ZINC library was carried out to elucidate the initial potent compounds. Further, filters were applied to identify the hit compounds among the ∼90,000 compound library. Based on the docking scores and binding affinity, the top 100 hits were elucidated, and they were further narrowed down to 50 compounds based on ADMET and Lipinski's RO5 filter. Finally, 10 compounds were chosen that showed appreciable biological activity. Among them, ZINC02136558 was selected as a potent lead compound that showed strong interaction with the amino acid residues of active and binding sites of CDK13. Furthermore, the all-atom molecular dynamic simulation was performed at 200 ns to explore the dynamic evolution of the system. Finally, the results showed that the ZINC02136558 may be considered as a potential lead molecule to inhibit CDK13 and implicated in therapeutic management of cancer and associated diseases."
+163,skin cancer,39578921,Trial protocol for SiroSkin: a randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial of topical sirolimus in chemoprevention of facial squamous cell carcinomas in solid organ transplant recipients.,"Keratinocyte carcinomas such as basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas are a major burden affecting morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs). Best treatment includes frequent skin checks for early detection and surgery for high incidence of skin cancers. Sirolimus is an immunosuppressive drug which may reduce the burden of skin cancer but may be poorly tolerated when given orally. Topical sirolimus has been proven effective at reducing the burden of skin cancers in animal models, and its safety has long been established in children with tuberous sclerosis. A recent 12-week phase II trial of topical sirolimus suggested it was safe and effective at reducing the early signs of skin cancer in the absence of major side effects. The aim of the SiroSkin trial is to determine whether topical sirolimus can fill a major gap in current therapies by reducing the onset and number of new skin cancers thus reducing burden of disease and cost-effectiveness."
+164,skin cancer,39578854,Combatting cellular immortality in cancers by targeting the shelterin protein complex.,"Shelterin proteins (TERF1, TERF2, TPP1, TINF2, POT1) protect telomeres, prevent unwarranted repair activation, and regulate telomerase activity. Alterations in these proteins can lead to cancer progression. This study uses an in-silico approach to examine shelterin in tumour samples across various cancers, employing mutation plots, phylogenetic trees, and sequence alignments. Network pharmacology identified TERF1 as an essential shelterin protein and transcription factors RUNX1, CTCF, and KDM2B as potential biomarkers due to their interactions with miRNAs and shelterin proteins. We performed MCODE analysis to identify subnetworks of ncRNAs interacting with the shelterin proteins. Shelterin expression predicted patient survival in 24 cancer types, with TERF1, TERF2, TINF2, and POT1 significantly expressed in testicular, AML, prostate, breast and renal cancers, respectively, and TPP1 in AML and skin cancer. Spearman and Pearson's analyses showed significant correlations of TERF1 across cancers, with near-significant correlations for all five proteins in different cancer datasets like breast cancer, kidney renal papillary and lung squamous cell carcinoma, skin cutaneous melanoma, etc.,. Shelterin expression correlated with patient survival in breast, renal, lung, skin, uterine, and gastric cancers. Insights into TPP1-associated glycans highlighted glycosylated sites contributing to tumorigenesis. This study provides molecular signatures for further functional and therapeutic research on shelterin, highlighting its potential as a target for anti-cancer therapies and promising prospects for cancer prognosis and prediction."
+165,skin cancer,39578649,Pathogenic role of acyl coenzyme A binding protein (ACBP) in Cushing's syndrome.,"Cushing's syndrome is caused by an elevation of endogenous or pharmacologically administered glucocorticoids. Acyl coenzyme A binding protein (ACBP, encoded by the gene diazepam binding inhibitor, Dbi) stimulates food intake and lipo-anabolic reactions. Here we found that plasma ACBP/DBI concentrations were elevated in patients and mice with Cushing's syndrome. We used several methods for ACBP/DBI inhibition in mice, namely, (1) induction of ACBP/DBI autoantibodies, (2) injection of a neutralizing monoclonal antibody, (3) body-wide or hepatocyte-specific knockout of the Dbi gene, (4) mutation of the ACBP/DBI receptor Gabrg2 and (5) injections of triiodothyronine or (6) the thyroid hormone receptor-β agonist resmetirom to block Dbi transcription. These six approaches abolished manifestations of Cushing's syndrome such as increased food intake, weight gain, excessive adiposity, liver damage, hypertriglyceridaemia and type 2 diabetes. In conclusion, it appears that ACBP/DBI constitutes an actionable target that is causally involved in the development of Cushing's syndrome."

While the therapy's potential in precise targeting is well-recognized, a critical bottleneck remains in the accurate positioning of patients for treatment delivery. This study proposes a novel automated robotic-assisted patient positioning system specifically engineered for BNCT applications. The system utilizes high-precision industrial robotics and is fully integrated with NeuMANTA, a proprietary treatment planning system designed for BNCT. Through a systematic workflow, the robotic arm algorithmically calculates and executes the patient's positioning based on the treatment plan, thus enhancing the accuracy and efficacy of the treatment. We validate the positioning system using an anthropomorphic phantom and evaluate the dosimetric impact of positional deviations. The results indicate that the system achieves high accuracy, with a maximum observational deviation of 3 mm in Source-to-Skin Distance (SSD) and 2 mm along the surface. Dosimetric analysis reveals that the resulting dose changes are less than 1% in surface orientation deviations and less than 5% in SSD orientation deviations. The study concludes that the robotic patient positioning system substantially advances in BNCT treatment delivery. This work not only sets a new benchmark for patient positioning in BNCT, but also provides a comprehensive framework for integrating advanced robotics into radiotherapy, paving the way for more precise and effective cancer treatments."

Emerging evidence suggests that melatonin also exerts significant protective effects against skin cancers, particularly melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of melatonin's multifaceted mechanisms of action in preventing and treating skin cancers, focusing on its antioxidant, photoprotective, and radioprotective properties. Melatonin's capability to modulate skin cancer's related key signaling pathways underscores its complex yet potent anticancer mechanisms. Furthermore, synergistic effects between melatonin and conventional oncology treatments, such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies, hold promise for improving treatment outcomes while mitigating adverse effects. However, while melatonin shows great potential as an adjunct in oncology treatment regimens, further research is needed to optimize its clinical applications and fully understand its safety profile and potential side effects. Overall, elucidating melatonin's role in skin cancer prevention and treatment represents a promising avenue for advancing cancer therapeutics and improving patient outcomes."

We use the Fitzpatrick scale, a numerical classification system grouping six human skin tones (or ""phototypes"") in dermatology, as a guide for analyzing the skin tones appearing in (n = 1600) Google image search results for search terms related to skin cancer. We find that light skin tones (1,2, and 3 on the Fitzpatrick scale) comprise the significant majority (roughly 96%) of those depicted in Google image searches of information about skin cancer signs and prevention; dark skin tones (4, 5, and 6 on the Fitzpatrick scale) appear with significantly less frequency (roughly 4%) in the same search results. Disparate representation of diverse skin tones-and, more specifically, omission of dark skin images-suggests that racial biases inflect the search results generated by seemingly race-neutral skin-cancer related search terms. This embedded racial bias privileges white normativity to the disadvantage of dark-skinned patients, who are most likely to be racially classified as Black."
+171,skin cancer,39576958,The Contribution of the Monocyte-Macrophage Lineage to Immunotherapy Outcomes.,"Macrophages execute core functions in maintaining tissue homeostasis, where their extensive plasticity permits a spectrum of functions from tissue remodelling to immune defence. However, perturbations to tissue-resident macrophages during disease, and the subsequent emergence of monocyte-derived macrophages, can hinder tissue recovery and promote further damage through inflammatory and fibrotic programs. Gaining a fundamental understanding of the critical pathways defining pathogenic macrophage populations enables the development of targeted therapeutic approaches to improve disease outcomes. In the setting of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), which remains the major complication of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1)-dependent donor-derived macrophages have been identified as key pathogenic mediators of fibrotic skin and lung disease. Antibody blockade of the CSF1R to induce macrophage depletion showed remarkable capacity to prevent fibrosis in pre-clinical models and has subsequently demonstrated impressive efficacy for improving fibrotic cGVHD in ongoing clinical trials. Similarly, macrophage depletion approaches are currently under investigation for their potential to augment responses to immune checkpoint inhibition. Moreover, both monocyte and tissue-resident macrophage populations have recently been implicated as mediators of the numerous toxicities associated with CAR T-cell therapy, further highlighting potential avenues of macrophage-based interventions to improve clinical outcomes. Herein, we examine the current literature on basic macrophage biology and contextualise this in the setting of cellular and immunotherapy. Additionally, we highlight mechanisms by which macrophages can be targeted, largely by interfering with the CSF1/CSF1R signalling axis, for therapeutic benefit in the context of both cellular and immunotherapy."

Traditional bioscaffold materials, however, complicate the detachment of tumor organoids and hamper the routine use of organoid-immune cell cocultures. Here, we show an acoustic virtual 3D scaffold (AV-Scaf) method to achieve 3D tumor organoid culture, enabling a direct-interacting tumor organoid-immune cell coculture system. The self-organization process of tumor cells is facilitated by a vortex acoustic field, which enables the cell bioassembly and ion channel activation. This approach can significantly enhance the influx of calcium ions, thereby accelerating intercellular interactions of cellular assemblies. We established scaffold-free melanoma and breast cancer organoids using AV-Scaf and cocultured melanoma organoids with T cells. We found that our coculture system resulted in a high activation state of T cells, characterized by notable up-regulation of granzyme B (2.82 to 17.5%) and interferon-γ (1.36 to 16%). AV-Scaf offers an efficient method for tumor organoid-immune cell studies, advancing cancer research and immunotherapy development."

This systematic review explores STK3 function in the Hippo pathway to regulate networks and its therapeutic potential in melanoma. From 1991 to 2024, we studied how STK3 interacts with the MAPK/ERK pathway to promote apoptosis and inhibit tumor growth. STK3 controls cell growth, apoptosis, and metastasis via the Hippo and MAPK pathways. It is a melanoma tumor suppressor. Some ways to target STK3 are to directly activate it, stop downstream effectors like YAP/TAZ from working, or use existing BRAF inhibitors together with other methods. Despite advancements, challenges in STK3 drug development persist, warranting further investigation. This review examined the role of STK3 in the development of melanoma and identified potential vulnerabilities for therapeutic intervention."

Dermoscopy is an easy and non-invasive office procedure that is widely used nowadays in the diagnosis of a wide variety of skin diseases. This prospective study aimed to describe and to differentiate the dermoscopic pattern of different stages and to compare the dermoscopic features observed in different clinical types of mycosis fungoides. Dermoscopic examination of different skin lesions was performed by two independent examiners and dermoscopic images of lesions were taken to detect the different morphologic criteria. The diagnosis was confirmed histopathologically and immunohistochemically in all cases. A total of 53 mycosis fungoides patients with different clinical types were evaluated. Mycosis fungoides lesions exhibited a characteristic dermoscopic pattern with the predominance of the linear configuration of blood vessels in the form of fine short linear vessels, spermatozoa-like vessels and thick linear blood vessels rather than dotted vessels. In addition, the geometric white scales were more evident than the lamellar scales with a high prevalence of white structureless patches (67.9%). The linear blood vessels and brownish pigmentary changes in this study could be suggestive of early stage mycosis fungoides. On the other hand, the dotted blood vessels, purpuric dots, white and whitish pink structureless patches, and ulcerations could be suggestive of advanced MF skin lesions. Other findings like geometric white scales and orange-yellowish structureless areas were not specific to differentiate between different MF stages. The study observations indicate that early MF lesions exhibit a characteristic dermoscopic pattern which is different from late MF lesions. Dermoscopy is an easy and rapid tool that could aid in the early diagnosis of mycosis fungoides to improve the outcome in these patients."

The objectives of this study were to explore prognostic markers for tumor-stage MF and assess the prognostic significance of clinically assessed MF tumor burden index (MTBI). MTBI was devised to consider the tumor size ≥ 2 cm, number ≥ 5, ulcers, and body surface area ≥ 50%. The prognostic value of MTBI and other potential markers derived from blood tests and skin biopsy were evaluated retrospectively using a tertiary medical center database. We included 38 cases of tumor-stage MF. The mean age was 52.1 years, and the male-to-female ratio was 2.5:1. In multivariable analysis, MTBI ≥ 3 (adjusted hazard ratio, 9.41; 95% confidence interval, 1.13-78.15) was significantly associated with worse disease-specific survival. Ulcers were the only MTBI constituent significantly associated with survival. Among other markers, elevated lactate dehydrogenase level was associated with a worse disease-specific survival. Neutrophil-lymphocyte-ratio, pan-inflammation-value, CD30 positivity, Ki-67 index, large cell transformation, and monoclonal T-cell receptor gene rearrangement were not associated with prognosis. In conclusion, MTBI is useful and promising prognostic marker for tumor-stage MF."

Such is the case of the measurement in the build-up region, where there is no charged-particle equilibrium, which is reflected in the increase in surface dose for patient treatments and potential skin toxicities as a secondary effect. This study utilizes optically stimulated dosemeters (nanoDot) and the radiochromic film (EBT3) to measure skin doses in patients with head and neck cancer who received radiotherapy. Accurately depicting 15 patients with different diagnoses from 3 linear accelerators using 3D, intensity modulated radiation therapy, or volumetric arc therapy/RapidArc technology, these results were compared with those calculated in the treatment planning system (TPS) and obtaining a percentage of variation for the EBT3 ranged from 0.30% to 6.15%, while that observed for the nanoDot was from 0.51% to 4.88%. This difference may be attributed to the reproducibility of placement in patients. Therefore, for clinical use, nanoDot dosemeters are a viable alternative for in vivo dosimetry where rapid validation of planning system results is required."

Given the defect's size and patient's age, options such as second-intention healing, primary closure, and skin grafting were deemed suboptimal. The cheek's anatomical complexity requires innovative surgical strategies for large defects. A multi-faceted surgical approach using adjacent tissues was employed: a triple advancement flap, an island pedicle, and a rotation flap to optimize aesthetic and functional outcomes. The defect was primarily closed using a triple advancement technique to minimize the tension and distortion at the lateral canthus and oral commissure. An island pedicle flap was then utilized to close the anterior part of the defect. Finally, a rotation flap and excision of a small standing skin cone allowed repair of the superior defect with minimal distortion of the lateral canthal skin. Key suturing strategies were implemented to maximize skin laxity and minimize aesthetic disruption. By integrating Mohs surgery, multiple flap techniques, and careful tension management, effective closure was achieved with excellent oncologic and aesthetic outcomes. This case underscores the importance of tailored surgical approaches in facial reconstructive surgery, particularly in elderly patients with significant aesthetic and functional considerations."

This research introduces a thorough method for identifying skin lesions by utilizing sophisticated deep learning (DL) techniques. The study utilizes three convolutional neural networks (CNNs)-CNN1, CNN2, and CNN3-each assigned to a distinct categorization job. Task 1 involves binary classification to determine whether skin lesions are present or absent. Task 2 involves distinguishing between benign and malignant lesions. Task 3 involves multiclass classification of skin lesion images to identify the precise type of skin lesion from a set of seven categories. The most optimal hyperparameters for the proposed CNN models were determined using the Grid Search Optimization technique. This approach determines optimal values for architectural and fine-tuning hyperparameters, which is essential for learning. Rigorous evaluations of loss, accuracy, and confusion matrix thoroughly assessed the performance of the CNN models. Three datasets from the International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC) Archive were utilized for the classification tasks. The primary objective of this study is to create a robust CNN system that can accurately diagnose skin lesions. Three separate CNN models were developed using the labeled ISIC Archive datasets. These models were designed to accurately detect skin lesions, assess the malignancy of the lesions, and classify the different types of lesions. The results indicate that the proposed CNN models possess robust capabilities in identifying and categorizing skin lesions, aiding healthcare professionals in making prompt and precise diagnostic judgments.

They usually present as asymptomatic nodules or plaques; thus, they can be mistaken for other skin conditions, which leads to a potential misdiagnosis. The definition of signet-ring cell (SRC) gastric carcinoma is that it can easily cause a diffusion enbloc through lymphatic and hematogenous pathways, inducing skin manifestations such as indurated plaques, nodules, and erysipelas-like lesions. The infrequency of skin metastasis from gastric carcinoma underlines once more the need for increased awareness on the part of clinicians. Diagnosis, histopathological examination, and immunohistochemistry are essential. The confirmation of SRC tumors is done by staining for mucin, such as periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and mucicarmine, and by using immunohistochemical markers like CK7. Almost always, cutaneous metastasis from SRC gastric carcinoma has a poor prognosis since these tumors are highly aggressive and chemotherapy-resistant. We present a case of cutaneous metastasis from SRC gastric carcinoma, a subtype of gastric cancer with a well-documented tendency both for distant and cutaneous spread. Generally, skin metastases from SRC gastric carcinoma are associated with poor prognosis, rapid progression of the disease, and a high mortality rate.

However, the dearth of qualified expertise increases the processing time and cost of diagnosis. Early detection of melanoma in dermoscopy images significantly enhances its chance of survival. Pathologists benefit substantially from the precise and efficient melanoma cancer diagnosis using automated methods. Nevertheless, the diagnosis of melanoma has consistently been a challenging procedure due to the imbalance images and limited data. Our objective was to employ a novel deep method to diagnose melanoma from dermoscopic images automatically. The research has proposed a novel framework for detecting skin malignancies. The proposed plan, which includes CNN, DenseNet, a batch normalization layer, maxpooling, and a ReLU layer activation function, solves the overfitting problem well. Furthermore, we used a large number of samples for testing and effectively employed data augmentation to prevent any issues related to class imbalance. The Adam optimizer is the most efficient deep learning optimizer for addressing challenges associated with large datasets, such as lengthy processing times. This is due to its specifically designed algorithm. Experiments ensure that the proposed framework achieved 95.70% micro average accuracy on the ISIC-2019 dataset and 93.24% accuracy on the HAM-10000 dataset. Comprehensive evaluation and analysis were used to evaluate our framework's performance. The results show that the proposed approach performs better with cross-validation by 94.8% accuracy than the most sophisticated deep learning-based technique.

LipoRu exhibits effective tumor accumulation, efficient cellular uptake, pH-sensitive and infrared-accelerated release, and dual localization to the nucleus and mitochondria. The released Ru(II) complexes within cells exert multiple antitumor mechanisms, such as DNA topoisomerase and RNA polymerase inhibition, Type I and II PDT, PTT, DNA photodamage, and apoptosis and ferroptosis induction. The biodistribution and therapeutic efficacy of LipoRu in vivo are systematically compared via three distinct administration routes: intratumoral injection, intravenous injection, and transdermal delivery through topical cream application. The positive therapeutic effects of the LipoRu cream fabricated here in subcutaneous tumor-bearing mice offer optimistic potential for the painless and non-invasive treatment of both early-stage and advanced skin cancers, as well as superficially located solid tumors."

He was diagnosed with Merkel cell carcinoma in the left eyebrow area 3 years ago and was followed up after tumor resection. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was performed because the computed tomography and abdominal ultrasonography revealed bile duct dilatation. However, the duodenum was too narrow and deformed to reach the ventral papilla. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage was performed, and bile cytology revealed no malignant findings; however, it did not sufficiently reduce the jaundice. Subsequently, endoscopic ultrasound-fine needle biopsy was performed on his right adrenal mass, which led to a diagnosis of the rare Merkel cell carcinoma. In summary, we report here of a case in which endoscopic ultrasound-fine needle biopsy led to the diagnosis of Merkel cell carcinoma recurrence."
+195,skin cancer,39572649,Enhanced MobileNet for skin cancer image classification with fused spatial channel attention mechanism.,"Skin Cancer, which leads to a large number of deaths annually, has been extensively considered as the most lethal tumor around the world. Accurate detection of skin cancer in its early stage can significantly raise the survival rate of patients and reduce the burden on public health. Currently, the diagnosis of skin cancer relies heavily on human visual system for screening and dermoscopy. However, manual inspection is laborious, time-consuming, and error-prone. In consequence, the development of an automatic machine vision algorithm for skin cancer classification turns into imperative. Various machine learning techniques have been presented for the last few years. Although these methods have yielded promising outcome in skin cancer detection and recognition, there is still a certain gap in machine learning algorithms and clinical applications. To enhance the performance of classification, this study proposes a novel deep learning model for discriminating clinical skin cancer images. The proposed model incorporates a convolutional neural network for extracting local receptive field information and a novel attention mechanism for revealing the global associations within an image. Experimental results of the proposed approach demonstrate its superiority over the state-of-the-art algorithms on the publicly available dataset International Skin Imaging Collaboration 2019 (ISIC-2019) in terms of Precision, Recall, F1-score. From the experimental results, it can be observed that the proposed approach is a potentially valuable instrument for skin cancer classification."
+196,skin cancer,39572526,Pharmacological targeting of casein kinase 1δ suppresses oncogenic NRAS-driven melanoma.,"Activating mutations in NRAS account for 15-20% of melanoma, yet effective anti-NRAS therapies are still lacking. In this study, we unveil the casein kinase 1δ (CK1δ) as an uncharacterized regulator of oncogenic NRAS mutations, specifically Q61R and Q61K, which are the most prevalent NRAS mutations in melanoma. The genetic ablation or pharmacological inhibition of CK1δ markedly destabilizes NRAS mutants and suppresses their oncogenic functions. Moreover, we identify USP46 as a bona fide deubiquitinase of NRAS mutants. Mechanistically, CK1δ directly phosphorylates USP46 and activates its deubiquitinase activity towards NRAS mutants, thus promoting oncogenic NRAS-driven melanocyte malignant transformation and melanoma progression in vitro and in vivo. Our findings underscore the significance of the CK1δ-USP46 axis in stabilizing oncogenic NRAS mutants and provide preclinical evidence that targeting this axis holds promise as a therapeutic strategy for human melanoma harboring NRAS mutations."

This phase Ib trial study (Clinicaltrials.gov NCT04197882) assessed the efficacy and safety of the combination of neoadjuvant oncolytic virus orienX010 (ori) and anti-PD-1 toripalimab (tori) for resectable AM. Thirty patients of stage III/IV received neoadjuvant therapy of ori and tori for 12 weeks before surgery, followed by adjuvant treatment with tori for 1 year. Primary endpoints were radiographic and pathological response rates, with secondary endpoints of 1- and 2-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates, event-free survival (EFS) rates, and safety. Twenty-seven completed surgery and tori adjuvant treatment and median follow-up was 35.7 months. Radiographic and pathological response rates were 36.7% and 77.8%, with complete response rates of 3.3% and 14.8%, 1- and 2-year RFS rates of 85.2% and 81.5%, and 1- and 2-year EFS rates of 83% and 73%, respectively. Adverse events occurred in all patients, mainly grade 1-2. There was no correlation between PET/CT evaluation and pathological response or progression-free survival/overall survival. Patients with pathological response showed tumor beds with high tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Cytokines and chemokines analysis showed the combination therapy significantly increases the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines in both responders and non-responders. Therefore, neoadjuvant ori and tori demonstrated promising antitumor activity with high response rates and high 2-year RFS/EFS for AM with acceptable tolerability."

Here we report that DETCs mediate potent and exquisitely selective cytotoxicity against diverse tumor types while sparing healthy cells. In vitro, DETCs induced apoptosis in melanoma, hepatoma, colon carcinoma and lymphoma lines in a dose- and time-dependent manner that required direct cell-cell contact. In vivo, adoptive DETC transfer significantly suppressed melanoma growth and metastasis while prolonging survival. Mechanistically, DETCs upregulated perforin/granzyme B expression upon tumor recognition, and inhibition of this pathway ablated cytotoxicity. DETCs selectively homed to and formed intimate contacts with tumor cells in vivo through directed chemotaxis and aggregation. Tumor engagement triggered pro-inflammatory DETC activation while dampening immunosuppressive factors in the microenvironment. Notably, mTOR signaling coupled tumor recognition to DETC trafficking, cytotoxicity and inflammatory programs, as rapamycin treatment impaired effector functions and therapeutic efficacy. Collectively, these findings establish DETCs as multidimensional antitumor effectors and provide insights for harnessing their unique biology for cancer immunotherapy."

To evaluate the diagnostic utility of PAX6 IHC, a tissue microarray containing 19,214 samples from 150 tumor types was analyzed. Data on progesterone receptor (PR) and glutamate decarboxylase 2 (GAD2) expression were available from previous studies. PAX6 staining occurred in 2.6% of 17,224 analyzable tumors and 60 tumor categories showed PAX6 positivity in at least one case. The highest rates of PAX6 positivity occurred in pancreatic (42.9-70.8%) and other NENs (up to 50.0%), testicular tumors (up to 58.3%), basal cell carcinomas of the skin (51.9%), squamous cell carcinomas of different organs (1.5-11.8%), and in gynecological tumors (up to 30%). For detection of pancreatic origin of NENs, sensitivity was highest for PAX6 (68.7%) followed by GAD2 (62.6%) and PR (52.5%) while specificity was highest for GAD2 (95.2%), followed by PR (91.3%), and PAX6 (91.1%). Of the analyzed combinations, the highest sensitivity (53.8%) and specificity (100%) was found for PAX6/GAD2, although combinations of PAX6/PR (49.5%/99.3%), PR/GAD2 (40.7%/98.9%), and PAX6/PR/GAD2 (40.6%/100%) did also result in high specificity. Only 14% of the 118 NENs with negativity for all three antibodies were of pancreatic origin. It is concluded that PAX6 IHC is useful to identify a pancreatic origin in case of NEN metastases of unknown origin. The combination with GAD2 and PR further increase the diagnostic performance of PAX6 and results in a >98% specificity in case of positivity for at least 2 of these markers."

+205,skin cancer,39571283,Feasibility study of modularized pin ridge filter implementation in proton FLASH planning for liver stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy.,"We previously developed a FLASH planning framework for streamlined pin-ridge-filter (pin-RF) design, demonstrating its feasibility for single-energy proton FLASH planning. In this study, we refined the pin-RF design for easy assembly using reusable modules, focusing on its application in liver stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR). This framework generates an intermediate intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) plan and translates it into step widths and thicknesses of pin-RFs for a single-energy FLASH plan. Parameters like energy spacing, monitor unit limit, and spot quantity were adjusted during IMPT planning, resulting in pin-RFs assembled using predefined modules with widths from 1 to 6 mm, each with a water-equivalent-thickness of 5 mm. This approach was validated on three liver SABR cases. FLASH doses, quantified using the FLASH effectiveness model at 1 to 5 Gy thresholds, were compared to conventional IMPT (IMPT-CONV) doses to assess clinical benefits. The highest demand for 6 mm width modules, moderate for 2-4 mm, and minimal for 1- and 5-mm modules were shown across all cases. At lower dose thresholds, the two-beam case reduced indicators including liver V21Gy and skin Dmax by >19.4%, while the three-beam cases showed reductions ≤11.4%, indicating the need for higher fractional beam doses for an enhanced FLASH effect. Positive clinical benefits were seen only in the two-beam case at the 5 Gy threshold. At the 1 Gy threshold, the two-beam FLASH plan outperformed the IMPT-CONV plan, reducing dose indicators for all relevant normal tissues by up to 31.2%. In contrast, the three-beam cases showed negative clinical benefits, with skin Dmax and liver V21Gy increasing by up to 17.4% due to lower fractional beam doses and closer beam arrangements. This study evaluated the feasibility of modularizing streamlined pin-RFs in single-energy proton FLASH planning for liver SABR, offering guidance on optimal module composition and strategies to enhance FLASH planning."
+206,skin cancer,39571268,Daptomycin alleviates collagen-induced arthritis via suppressing inflammatory cytokines and NF-κB pathway.,"Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease, and its pathogenic factors include bacterial infection and immune inflammation. Daptomycin (DAP) is a cyclic lipopeptide that has been approved to treat skin infections, bacteremia and right-sided endocarditis due to its effective antibacterial effects against most Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria. Herein, we focus on whether DAP exerts anti-inflammatory activity on RA to expand DAP drug indications. Our studies are first time to evaluate anti-inflammatory effect and reveal its molecular pharmacological mechanism of DAP on lipopolysaccharide-activated macrophage and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice. In vitro cytological studies show that 10 µg/mL DAP inhibits secretion of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α to alleviate cell inflammation, and the phosphorylation level of p65 (p-p65) of RAW 264.7 cells is decreased under DAP exposure. Administration with 10 mg/kg/2d DAP via intravenous injection on CIA mice significantly reduces arthritis symptom by inhibiting p-p65 level and decreasing serum level of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α. Moreover, our study is the first time to reveal new immunomodulatory effects of DAP on RA, which provides a pharmacological basis for new clinical applications of DAP for other immune-related diseases except to bacterial infections."

However, the motile behavior of macrophages and interactions with tumor cells are not well understood. Here, we exploit the optical transparency of larval zebrafish and perform real-time imaging of macrophage-melanoma interactions. We found that macrophages are highly motile in the tumor microenvironment. Macrophages extend dynamic projections between tumor cells that precede invasive melanoma migration. Modulating macrophage motility with a dominant inhibitory mutation in Rac2 inhibits recruitment to the tumor and impairs tumor invasion. However, a hyperactivating mutation in Rac2 does not affect macrophage recruitment but limits macrophage projections into the melanoma mass and reduces invasive melanoma cell migration. Taken together, these findings reveal a role for Rac2-mediated macrophage protrusive motility in melanoma invasion."

Anti-angiogenic agents targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathways have become essential in mCRC treatment. Bevacizumab, a VEGF inhibitor, was the first agent used in this context. However, drug resistance prompted the development of more selective inhibitors, such as fruquintinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that targets VEGFR-1, -2, and -3. Fruquintinib has shown promise in clinical trials, particularly for third-line mCRC treatment. The Phase III FRESCO trial in China demonstrated its efficacy, significantly improving overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) compared to placebo, with manageable safety concerns like hypertension and hand-foot skin reactions. The FRESCO-2 trial extended these findings to European and North American populations, leading to a recent FDA approval for previously treated mCRC patients. The pharmacodynamic profile of fruquintinib includes potent inhibition of VEGFR, angiogenesis, and lymphangiogenesis. It has shown synergistic effects when combined with other treatments like chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Current research focuses on exploring fruquintinib's combination with ICIs, such as PD-1 inhibitors, to enhance treatment efficacy, especially in microsatellite stable (MSS) CRC.

Since its identification in 2012, extensive research has unveiled its involvement in the pathophysiology of numerous diseases, including cancers, neurodegenerative disorders, organ injuries, infectious diseases, autoimmune conditions, metabolic disorders, and skin diseases. Oxidizable lipids, overload iron, and compromised antioxidant systems are known as critical prerequisites for driving overwhelming lipid peroxidation, ultimately leading to plasma membrane rupture and ferroptotic cell death. However, the precise regulatory networks governing ferroptosis and ferroptosis-targeted therapy in these diseases remain largely undefined, hindering the development of pharmacological agonists and antagonists. In this review, we first elucidate core mechanisms of ferroptosis and summarize its epigenetic modifications (e.g., histone modifications, DNA methylation, noncoding RNAs, and N6-methyladenosine modification) and nonepigenetic modifications (e.g., genetic mutations, transcriptional regulation, and posttranslational modifications). We then discuss the association between ferroptosis and disease pathogenesis and explore therapeutic approaches for targeting ferroptosis. We also introduce potential clinical monitoring strategies for ferroptosis. Finally, we put forward several unresolved issues in which progress is needed to better understand ferroptosis.

The field of photodynamic treatment has advanced significantly in the past years. Photodynamic techniques that use nano-formulations have surfaced to further the field of nanotechnology in medicine, especially in cancer treatment. The pharmaceutical industry is seeing a growing trend toward enhanced drug formulation using nano-formulations such as liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, nano-emulsions, and micelles. Natural extracts have also shown adverse effects when employed as photosensitizers in cancer therapy because they are cytotoxic when activated by light. Still, natural photosensitizers are a big part of cancer treatment. However, some shortcomings can be minimized by combining nano-formulations with these natural photosensitizers.

+223,skin cancer,39567405,Heavy metals: toxicity and human health effects.,"Heavy metals are naturally occurring components of the Earth's crust and persistent environmental pollutants. Human exposure to heavy metals occurs via various pathways, including inhalation of air/dust particles, ingesting contaminated water or soil, or through the food chain. Their bioaccumulation may lead to diverse toxic effects affecting different body tissues and organ systems. The toxicity of heavy metals depends on the properties of the given metal, dose, route, duration of exposure (acute or chronic), and  extent of bioaccumulation. The detrimental impacts of heavy metals on human health are largely linked to their capacity to interfere with antioxidant defense mechanisms, primarily through their interaction with intracellular glutathione (GSH) or sulfhydryl groups (R-SH) of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), and other enzyme systems. Although arsenic (As) is believed to bind directly to critical thiols, alternative hydrogen peroxide production processes have also been postulated. Heavy metals are known to interfere with signaling pathways and affect a variety of cellular processes, including cell growth, proliferation, survival, metabolism, and apoptosis. For example, cadmium can affect the BLC-2 family of proteins involved in mitochondrial death via the overexpression of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 and the suppression of proapoptotic (BAX, BAK) mechanisms, thus increasing the resistance of various cells to undergo malignant transformation. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is an important regulator of antioxidant enzymes, the level of oxidative stress, and cellular resistance to oxidants and has been shown to act as a double-edged sword in response to arsenic-induced oxidative stress. Another mechanism of significant health threats and heavy metal (e.g., Pb) toxicity involves the substitution of essential metals (e.g., calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), and iron (Fe)) with structurally similar heavy metals (e.g., cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb)) in the metal-binding sites of proteins. Displaced essential redox metals (copper, iron, manganese) from their natural metal-binding sites can catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide via the Fenton reaction and generate damaging ROS such as hydroxyl radicals, causing damage to lipids, proteins, and DNA. Conversely, some heavy metals, such as cadmium, can suppress the synthesis of nitric oxide radical (NO"

Carriers have substantially elevated risks of various malignancies and develop benign lesions in multiple organ systems. The rarity of this disease, the decades-long unfolding of its clinical features, involvement of multiple sites and the absence of distinguishing features of each lesion hamper the identification of this condition, limiting opportunities for screening of affected individuals and their families. Given laboratory information systems are the repositories of patients' biopsies, we are interested in whether PHTS patients' prior biopsies may serve as clues to the possibility of this syndrome. With ethics committee approval, through a collaboration amongst our state-wide Adult Genetics Unit and all pathology laboratories in our state, we have undertaken a 28-year longitudinal survey (1990-2018) of the biopsy histories of 12 women known to have P/LP PTEN variants. Only one woman had a family history of Cowden syndrome, with the remaining 11 patients' mutations being discovered later. The earliest biopsy was at age 19. The most common finding was the development of multiple benign mucocutaneous lesions, with 10 women presenting with these, including a range of benign vascular lesions (eight patients), various fibromatous lesions of the skin and mucosal sites (six patients), a ganglioneuroma and a juvenile polyp. Ten women developed breast cancer, only four before the age of 40. Seven women developed a second breast cancer, two synchronously and five at intervals of 3-11 years. Other neoplasms included endometrial carcinoma (two patients) and dysplastic cerebellar gangliocytoma (three patients).

The adhesive was formulated using hydrophobically modified cold-water fish skin gelatin (hm-CFG) and cross-linking agent pullulan dialdehyde (PDA), in which succinic dihydrazide-modified doxorubicin (SDH-DOX) can be incorporated. Utilizing PDA could improve both cohesion and interfacial adhesion, while also offering drug-loading sites through the aldehyde groups that were not involved in cross-linking. The optimal adhesive formulation was 9C10-CFG/PDA (30 w/v% 9 mol% decanal modified CFG/20 w/v% PDA). The 9C10-CFG/PDA adhesive exhibited suitable cohesive strength, good mechanical flexibility (tensile strain over 170 %), and strong interface adhesion. The burst strength of 9C10-CFG/PDA adhesive (131.5 ± 22.2 mm Hg) was almost 6-fold higher than that of commercial fibrin sealant. In a rat pneumothorax model, 9C10-CFG/PDA adhesive displayed favorable wound-sealing properties, as evidenced by CT imaging and restored rat behavior. When combined with the anticancer drug, SDH-DOX@Adhesive could release the drug in response to pH more gradually than DOX@Adhesive. This dual-action adhesive is anticipated to mitigate post-surgical occurrences of lung air leaks and cancer recurrence."

Therefore, a novel therapeutic strategy is required to improve the efficacy of ICIs. We previously reported that histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors increased melanoma immunogenicity through the SOX10-IRF1 pathway and may improve the efficacy of ICIs for melanoma. We herein demonstrated that the inhibition of HDAC induced the expression of HLA class I molecules through IRF1 in CCS cells, similar to melanoma. The suppression of SOX10 by small interfering RNA (siRNA) induced the expression of HLA class I molecules. In addition, the isoform-specific inhibition of HDAC1/3 induced the expression of another IRF1 downstream molecule, PD-L1 in CCS cells in concert with the suppression of SOX10. Furthermore, the knockdown of IRF1 impaired the induction of PD-L1 expression in CCS cells. Therefore, the inhibition of HDAC1/3 has potential as a novel strategy to increase immunogenicity and as combination therapy with ICIs for CCS and melanoma."

To compare clinicopathological features and define prognostic factors between melanoma in the plantar region and melanoma at other anatomical sites. A retrospective comparative analysis was conducted on all cutaneous melanoma patients seen at a tertiary referral center over 20 years. Patients were categorized into two groups: those with plantar melanoma and those with non-plantar melanoma. This study included 239 patients, comprising 186 patients with plantar melanoma (77.8%) and 53 with non-plantar melanoma (22.2%). Plantar melanoma was more common in males and older individuals and was associated with greater Breslow depth (p < 0.001), deeper Clark invasion (p < 0.001), and a higher incidence of ulceration (p = 0.02). Lymphovascular and visceral metastases were frequently observed in plantar melanoma patients (p = 0.013). Multivariate analysis indicated that Breslow thickness (p = 0.019), the presence of distant metastasis (p = 0.016), and lesions in traumatized areas (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with the plantar melanoma group.

This paper presents the results of the biochemical characterization and metagenomic library screening of the marine-derived antibiotic, 8-demethoxy-10-deoxysteffimycin. Plasmid libraries were constructed, and clones were produced using a metagenomic approach. Out of 15,000 clones, 81 clones were screened for antimicrobial activity, and five potential clones were selected. The activity of one clone was characterized and named as PS49.

+249,skin cancer,39562548,Rab7a is an enhancer of TPC2 activity regulating melanoma progression through modulation of the GSK3β/β-Catenin/MITF-axis.,"Melanoma arising from pigment-producing melanocytes is the deadliest form of skin cancer. Extensive ultraviolet light exposure is a major cause of melanoma and individuals with low levels of melanin are at particular risk. Humans carrying gain-of-function polymorphisms in the melanosomal/endolysosomal two-pore cation channel TPC2 present with hypopigmentation, blond hair, and albinism. Loss of TPC2 is associated with decreased cancer/melanoma proliferation, migration, invasion, tumor growth and metastasis formation, and TPC2 depleted melanoma cells show increased levels of melanin. How TPC2 activity is controlled in melanoma and the downstream molecular effects of TPC2 activation on melanoma development remain largely elusive. Here we show that the small GTPase Rab7a strongly enhances the activity of TPC2 and that effects of TPC2 on melanoma hallmarks, in vitro and in vivo strongly depend on the presence of Rab7a, which controls TPC2 activity to modulate GSK3β, β-Catenin, and MITF, a major regulator of melanoma development and progression."

This unexpected association offers an opportunity to reconsider our understanding about papillomavirus infections and cancers. We have expanded our knowledge about the diversity of papillomaviruses and the diseases they cause.Yet we still lack answers to fundamental questions, such as what makes HPV16 different from the closely related HPV31 or HPV33; or why the very divergent HPV13 and HPV32 cause focal epithelial hyperplasia, while HPV6 or HPV42 do not, despite their evolutionary relatedness. Certain members of the healthy skin microbiota are associated to rare clinical conditions. We propose that a focus on cellular phenotypes, most often transient and influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors, may help understand the continuum between health and disease. A conceptual switch is required towards an interpretation of biology as a diversity of states connected by transition probabilities, rather than quasi-deterministic programs. Under this perspective, papillomaviruses may only trigger malignant transformation when specific viral genotypes interact with precise cellular states. Drawing on Canguilhem's concepts of normal and pathological, we suggest that understanding the transition between fluid cellular states can illuminate how commensal-like infections transition from benign to malignant."
+252,skin cancer,39562006,Successful treatment of in-transit metastatic melanoma with combination intralesional T-VEC and topical imiquimod immunotherapy.,"In-transit metastases of malignant melanoma pose a significant clinical challenge, particularly in patients with contraindications to systemic therapies. While surgical excision and systemic immunotherapies remain standard treatments, localized therapies such as intralesional talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) and topical imiquimod, which stimulate tumor-specific T-cell responses, have garnered increasing attention for their potential efficacy and tolerability. Although the individual efficacy of these therapies is well-documented, their combined use and their synergistic effects have not been well-documented. This case series reports on five patients with in-transit melanoma metastases treated with T-VEC and imiquimod at Northwestern Memorial Hospital from November 2018 to May 2023. Patients received a median of 13 (range 8-20) T-VEC injections over a median of 6 months (range 5-9), of which 4 of those months were with concurrent T-VEC and imiquimod cream. Four of the five patients achieved complete response (CR) by the end of the treatment course. One patient developed systemic progression during therapy, leading to early cessation of treatment. All patients with CR elected to continue topical imiquimod applications as maintenance following T-VEC for a median of 6 months (range 2-14 months). Only one of the four patients who achieved CR developed metastatic nodal disease 10 months after the last T-VEC injection. The three other patients are free of cutaneous and systemic disease 2-57 months after their last injection. All patients tolerated treatment well with zero patients discontinuing treatment due to side effects. These findings suggest that the combination of intralesional T-VEC and topical imiquimod can be an effective and safe treatment of in-transit metastases of malignant melanoma."

This study investigated the diagnostic trajectory of patients with rare cancers in The Netherlands. Data from 1541 patients were recruited via patient advocacy in a national online survey on their diagnostic trajectory, such as first general practitioner (GP) consultation to hospital referral and number of hospital visits before final diagnosis. Differences between solid vs. non-solid tumours and EURACAN domains were explored. Diagnostic timelines varied from less than 3 months to over 12 months. Most patients (76.0%) first consulted their GP before going to a hospital. 76.3% of all patients were referred to a hospital within less than 3 months. 32.1% reported receiving an incorrect diagnosis, and 44.6% of them underwent treatment or medication for the (perceived) incorrect diagnosis. Patients with solid vs. non-solid rare cancers trajectories differed significantly for treatment hospital, route to diagnosis, correctness of initial diagnosis, and number of hospital visits before correct diagnosis (all p < 0.001). Patients with neuroendocrine (NET; 21.7%) and endocrine tumours (17.5%) experienced longer GP-to-hospital visit waiting times. Patients with non-solid cancers often received a correct diagnosis after one hospital visit (75%) when compared with patients with solid cancer (2+ = 57.7%). Those with rare skin cancer and non-cutaneous melanoma, head and neck, and thoracic cancer visited multiple hospitals before an accurate diagnosis (56.7%, 53.8%, and 50.0%).

+257,skin cancer,39560179,Pannexin 1 and pannexin 3 differentially regulate the cancer cell properties of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.,"Pannexin (PANX) channels are present in skin and facilitate the movement of signalling molecules during cellular communication. PANX1 and PANX3 function in skin homeostasis and keratinocyte differentiation but were previously reduced in a small cohort of human cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) tumours compared to normal epidermis. In our study we used SCC-13 cells, limited publicly available RNA-seq data and a larger cohort of cSCC patient-matched samples to analyse PANX1 and PANX3 expression and determine the association between their dysregulation and the malignant properties of cSCC. In a bioinformatics analysis, PANX1 transcripts were increased in cSCC and head and neck SCC tumours compared to normal tissues, but PANX3 mRNA showed no differences. However, in our own cohort PANX3 transcripts were decreased in cSCC compared to patient-matched aged skin, whereas PANX1 protein was upregulated in cSCC. PANX1 localized to all regions within the cSCC tumour microenvironment, and increased levels were associated with larger tumour dimensions. To investigate PANX1 function in SCC-13 cells, we deleted PANX1 via CRISPR/Cas9 and treated with PANX1 inhibitors, which markedly reduced cell growth and migration. To assess PANX3 function in cutaneous carcinogenesis, we employed the 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene/12-otetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (DMBA/TPA) model using our global Panx3 knockout (KO) mice, where 60% of wild-type and 100% of KO mice formed precancerous papillomas. Average papilloma volumes at endpoint were significantly increased in KO mice and showed moderate evidence of increases in KO mice over time. Collectively, these findings suggest PANX1 and PANX3 dysregulation may have potential tumour-promoting and tumour-suppressive effects for keratinocyte transformation, respectively. KEY POINTS: Pannexin 1 (PANX1) and pannexin 3 (PANX3) are channel-forming proteins which are critical in the normal maintenance and function of keratinocytes in the skin but may become altered in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) tumours. In this study we used a combination of culture models, mouse models and patient-derived tissues. We found PANX1 levels are increased in cSCC tumours and present in all tumour regions, functioning to promote cSCC cell growth and migration. Conversely, PANX3 levels are decreased in cSCC tumours, and this protein reduces the incidence and growth of precancerous lesions. Taken together our data indicate that in cSCC these pannexin family members seem to have opposite effects, in either promoting or restricting cancer cell properties. These results help us to better understand the mechanisms of malignant transformation of keratinocytes and offer a new potential therapeutic target for the treatment of advanced cSCC."

It has a high incidence of skin and bone marrow involvement as well as leukemic dissemination. It shows a considerable biologic diversity with overlapping morphologic and immunophenotypic features of various cutaneous hematolymphoid neoplasms. Studies with large series of patients are not available due to low prevalence and short survival of the disease. We report here a rare case of BPDCN in a 30-year-old male patient who primarily came with skin manifestations almost all over the body surface. Skin biopsy revealed monomorphic medium-sized undifferentiated blast-like cells filling the entire dermis sparing the epidermis. The cells were immunopositive for CD45, CD56, CD4, and CD123 with a high Ki-67 labeling index while they were negative for known B-cell and T-cell markers. Radiological evaluation revealed lymphadenopathy at various sites. Peripheral blood smears and bone marrow aspiration smears demonstrated similar blast-like cells.

The bipedal pectoralis major myocutaneous (PMMC) flap is a commonly used alternative to the gold standard free flaps for reconstruction in resource-constrained settings. However, large donor sites may necessitate split-thickness skin grafting (STSG), leading to aesthetic challenges. This study explores using the thoracoabdominal flap (TA) for a large donor site closure following PMMC flap harvest in advanced oral cancer reconstruction. A retrospective analysis was conducted on twelve patients with advanced oral cancer with extensive skin involvement. The TA flap was utilised to achieve tension-free closure of the donor site. Patient demographics, clinical features, treatment stage, operative details, and postoperative complications were meticulously recorded. All patients had advanced oral cancer, with seven having left-sided disease and five having right-sided disease. The TA flap closure resulted in minimal complications, with two patients developing seromas and one experiencing marginal necrosis during the postoperative period. The innovative TA flap technique is useful in closing extensive donor sites following PMMC flap harvest for advanced oral cancer cases. It offers advantages such as improved cosmetic outcomes and fewer complications than split-thickness skin grafting."

In recent decades, research has focused on understanding the pathogenesis and clinical treatments of NMSC, leading to significant advances in our knowledge of these diseases and the development of novel therapies, including immunotherapy. Nevertheless, the low to moderate objective response rate, high recurrence, and therapeutic resistance remain persistent challenges, which are partly attributable to the intratumoral heterogeneity. This heterogeneity indicates that tumor cells, immune cells, and stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment can be reshaped to a series of phenotypic and transcriptional cell states that vary in invasiveness and treatment responsiveness. The advent of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has enabled the comprehensive profiling of gene expression heterogeneity at the single-cell level, which has been applied to NMSC to quantify cell compositions, define states, understand tumor evolution, and discern drug resistance. In this review, we highlight the key findings, with a focus on intratumoral heterogeneity and the mechanism of drug resistance in NMSC, as revealed by scRNA-seq.

This highly aggressive cancer is largely driven by UV radiation exposure, resulting in the uncontrolled growth and malignant transformation of melanocytes. The cGAS-STING pathway, an immune signaling mechanism responsible for detecting double-stranded DNA in the cytoplasm, is essential for mediating the immune response against melanoma. This pathway serves a dual purpose: it enhances antitumor immunity by activating immune cells, but it can also promote tumor growth when chronically activated by creating an immunosuppressive environment. This review comprehensively examines the multifaceted implication of the cGAS-STING pathway in melanoma pathogenesis and treatment. We explore its molecular mechanisms, including epigenetic regulation, interaction with signaling pathways such as AR signaling, and modulation by various cellular effectors like TG2 and activin-A. The therapeutic potential of modulating the cGAS-STING pathway is highlighted, with promising results from STING agonists, combination therapies with immune checkpoint inhibitors, and novel drug delivery systems, including nanoparticles and synthetic drugs. Our findings underscore the importance of the cGAS-STING pathway in melanoma, presenting it as a critical target for enhancing anti-tumor immunity. By leveraging this pathway, future therapeutic strategies can potentially convert 'cold' tumors into 'hot' tumors, making them more susceptible to immune responses."

The present work aimed to design a metoclopramide-loaded halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) drug-in-adhesive transdermal drug delivery system. Four formulations F1, F2, and F3 with different ratios of HNTs to metoclopramide and a F4 without HNTs were developed using acrylic adhesive DURO-TAK 387-2510 by the solvent casting method. These formulated patches were thoroughly evaluated and in-vitro release and permeation studies were performed. The optimized formulation was analyzed using skin irritation, SEM, DSC, and FTIR studies. The GASTROPLUS TCAT model was used to predict the in-vivo performance. HNT-based formulations exhibited controlled drug release, achieving approximately 60% in 4 h, compared to over 80% release in the same period from the formulation without HNT. The optimized formulation (F3) demonstrated a lag time of 1.802 h with a flux of 0.103 mg/cm"
+270,skin cancer,39557904,Performance of the MOLES and TFSOM-DIM scores in classifying choroidal nevi and melanoma.,"Choroidal nevi are common benign melanocytic lesions often incidentally found during routine ophthalmic examinations. Patients with choroidal nevi are frequently referred to ocular oncology centers to differentiate these from choroidal melanoma and to exclude a malignant transformation which rarely occurs. However, this causes a high workload for referral centers and may delay diagnosis and treatment of patients with potentially severe conditions. To overcome this, the MOLES score was previously developed which may empower non-specialists to differentiate choroidal nevi from melanoma. In this retrospective study, the performance of the MOLES score was assessed in 695 patients with choroidal nevi and 53 with choroidal melanoma. With a specificity of 96% (choroidal nevi) and a sensitivity of 100% (melanoma) the MOLES score was highly successful in differentiating choroidal nevi from melanoma and may offer great potential to optimize monitoring and referral decisions, and for teleophthalmology applications. Furthermore, the TFSOM-DIM score using risk factors for determining tumor progression was applied and showed a good correlation with MOLES. A complementary use of MOLES and TFSOM-DIM may be beneficial for clinical routine: MOLES for screening by non-experts with limited diagnostic tools and TFSOM-DIM in a referral setting to counsel also regarding potential transformation."
+271,skin cancer,39557834,Mechanistic basis of atypical TERT promoter mutations.,"Non-coding mutations in the TERT promoter (TERTp), typically at one of two bases -124 and -146 bp upstream of the start codon, are among the most prevalent driver mutations in human cancer. Several additional recurrent TERTp mutations have been reported but their functions and origins remain largely unexplained. Here, we show that atypical TERTp mutations arise secondary to canonical TERTp mutations in a two-step process. Canonical TERTp mutations create de novo binding sites for ETS family transcription factors that induce favourable conditions for DNA damage formation by UV light, thus creating a hotspot effect but only after a first mutational hit. In agreement, atypical TERTp mutations co-occur with canonical driver mutations in large cancer cohorts and arise subclonally specifically on the TERTp driver mutant chromosome homolog of melanoma cells treated with UV light in vitro. Our study gives an in-depth view of TERTp mutations in cancer and provides a mechanistic explanation for atypical TERTp mutations."
+272,skin cancer,39557738,Active Learning with Particle Swarm Optimization for Enhanced Skin Cancer Classification Utilizing Deep CNN Models.,"Skin cancer is a critical global health issue, with millions of non-melanoma and melanoma cases diagnosed annually. Early detection is essential to improving patient outcomes, yet traditional deep learning models for skin cancer classification are often limited by the need for large, annotated datasets and extensive computational resources. The aim of this study is to address these limitations by proposing an efficient skin cancer classification framework that integrates active learning (AL) with particle swarm optimization (PSO). The AL framework selectively identifies the most informative unlabeled instances for expert annotation, minimizing labeling costs while optimizing classifier performance. PSO, a nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm, enhances the selection process within AL, ensuring the most relevant data points are chosen. This method was applied to train multiple Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models on the HAM10000 skin lesion dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed AL-PSO approach significantly improves classification accuracy, with the Least Confidence strategy achieving approximately 89.4% accuracy while using only 40% of the labeled training data. This represents a substantial improvement over traditional approaches in terms of both accuracy and efficiency. The findings indicate that the integration of AL and PSO can accelerate the adoption of AI in clinical settings for skin cancer detection. The code for this study is publicly available at ( https://github.com/Sayantani-31/AL-PSO )."

While therapeutic targeting of this pathway has shown promise in several tumors, our previous findings revealed increased tumorigenicity following tyrosine kinase inhibitor SU11274 treatment. Therefore, we hypothesized that administering c-Met inhibitors may elicit distinct effects in human melanoma cells. In this study, we investigated the influence of three c-Met inhibitors, SU11274, crizotinib, and PHA665752, on molecular characteristics, tumorigenicity, and metastatic behavior in three human melanoma cell lines, M4Beu, EGFP-A375 and its metastatic variant, EGFP-A375/Rel3 (Rel3). Crizotinib and PHA665752 induced upregulation of MET proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase (MET), alongside cancer stem cell marker Prominin 1 (CD133), pluripotency marker Nanog homeobox (Nanog), and genes encoding angiogenic factors and receptors in Rel3 cells, correlating with supportive effect on tumorigenicity in vivo. The increased tumorigenicity of the Rel3 cells following the SU11274 treatment correlated with the elevated phosphorylation of Akt, p70 S6 and RSK kinases. Our results demonstrate pleiotropic changes induced by small-molecule inhibitors of receptor tyrosine kinases in melanoma cell lines."
+277,skin cancer,39556244,Therapeutic Properties of M2 Macrophages in Chronic Wounds: An Innovative Area of Biomaterial-Assisted M2 Macrophage Targeted Therapy.,"Wound healing is a dynamic, multi-stage process essential for restoring skin integrity. Dysregulated wound healing is often linked to impaired macrophage function, particularly in individuals with chronic underlying conditions. Macrophages, as key regulators of wound healing, exhibit significant phenotypic diversity, ranging from the pro-healing M2 phenotype to the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype. Imbalances in the M1/M2 ratio or hyperactivation of the M1 phenotype can delay the normal healing. Consequently, strategies aimed at suppressing the M1 phenotype or promoting the shift of local skin macrophages toward the M2 phenotype can potentially treat chronic non-healing wounds. This manuscript provides an overview of macrophages' role in normal and pathological wound-healing processes. It examines various therapeutic approaches targeting M2 macrophages, such as ex vivo-activated macrophage therapy, immunopharmacological strategies, and biomaterial-directed macrophage polarization. However, it also highlights that M2 macrophage therapies and immunopharmacological interventions may have drawbacks, including rapid phenotypic changes, adverse effects on other skin cells, biotoxicity, and concerns related to biocompatibility, stability, and drug degradation. Therefore, there is a need for more targeted macrophage-based therapies that ensure optimal biosafety, allowing for effective reprogramming of dysregulated macrophages and improved therapeutic outcomes. Recent advances in nano-biomaterials have demonstrated promising regenerative potential compared to traditional treatments. This review discusses the progress of biomaterial-assisted macrophage targeting in chronic wound repair and addresses the challenges faced in its clinical application. Additionally, it explores novel design concepts for combinational therapies, such as incorporating regenerative particles like exosomes into dressing materials or encapsulating them in microneedling systems to enhance wound healing rates."

Projections suggest a surge exceeding 50% in melanoma occurrences by 2040, underscoring the urgency for preventive interventions. Sulforaphane (SFN), a compound found in cruciferous vegetables, is recognized for its cancer-preventive capabilities, particularly against skin cancer. This study employed a rigorous systematic review of various databases, adhering to predefined inclusion criteria for study selection. Data extraction was conducted using a uniform template, and the quality of the included studies was evaluated through the Systematic Review Centre for Laboratory Animal Experimentation (SYRCLE) risk of bias tool, specifically designed for animal research. The review encompasses studies published in English from 2000 to 2023, culminating in the inclusion of 9 pertinent studies. The findings highlight SFN's capacity to act as a protective agent in preventing skin cancer in animal models. It demonstrated efficacy in curbing skin tumorigenesis triggered by assorted carcinogens, reducing the onset of skin tumors and impeding the growth and spread of skin cancer cells. Furthermore, SFN showed preventive effects against UVB-induced skin carcinogenesis by obstructing the activator protein 1 signaling pathway. Based on evidence from animal-based research, SFN emerges as a promising chemopreventive substance against skin cancer. Nevertheless, determining its optimal dosage, application duration and method of administration for human subjects remains pending. If its effectiveness is substantiated, SFN could complement or offer an alternative to existing preventive measures against skin cancer."

Here, we showed that the EMP-associated transcription factor ZEB2 drives cSCC heterogeneity which resembles biphasic carcinosarcoma-like tumors. Single cell RNA sequencing revealed distinct subpopulations ranging from fully epithelial (E) to intermediate (EM) to fully mesenchymal (M), associated with the gradual loss of cell surface markers EPCAM, CDH1, ITGB4, and CD200. Mesenchymal features were associated with a higher metastatic capacity and anoikis resistance, yet this comes with a sensitivity toward TNF-induced cell death. Altogether we provide insights in cSCC heterogeneity and modes to target mesenchymal-metastasis inducing cells."

The limitations of traditional dressings are being addressed by materials and manufacturing technology. Microneedles (MNs) are a novel type of drug delivery system that has been widely used in cancer therapy, dermatological treatment, and insulin and vaccine delivery. MNs locally penetrate necrotic tissue, eschar, biofilm and epidermis into deep tissues, avoiding the possibility of drug dilution and degradation and greatly improving administration efficiency with less pain. MNs represent a new direction for wound treatment and transdermal delivery. In this study, we summarise the skin wound healing process and the mechanical stimulation of MNs in the context of the wound healing process. We also introduce the structural design and manufacture of MNs. Subsequently, MNs are categorised according to the loaded drugs, where the design of the MNs according to the traumatic biological/biochemical microenvironment (pH, glucose, and bacteria) and the physical microenvironment (temperature, light, and ultrasound) is emphasised. Finally, the advantages of MNs are compared with traditional drug delivery systems and their prospects are discussed."

+285,skin cancer,39554445,Novel Tree Shrew-Derived Antimicrobial Peptide with Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Activity.,"The number of cationic residues and net charge are critical for the activity of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) due to their role in facilitating initial electrostatic interactions with negatively charged bacterial membranes. A cathelicidin AMP (TC-33) has been identified from the Chinese tree shrew in our previous work, which exhibited weak antimicrobial activity, likely due to its moderately cationic nature. In the current study, based on TC-33, we designed a novel AMP by peptide truncation and Glu substitutions to increase its net cationic charge from +4 to +8. The resulting peptide, TC-LAR-18, showed 4-128-fold enhanced antimicrobial activity relative to TC-33 without causing hemolysis and cytotoxicity within 100 μg/mL. TC-LAR-18 effectively eliminated both planktonic and biofilm-associated bacteria, demonstrating rapid bactericidal effects due to its ability to quickly penetrate and disrupt bacterial cell membranes with a low propensity to induce resistance. Notably, TC-LAR-18 provided substantial protection against skin bacterial infection in mice, underscoring its therapeutic potential. These findings not only highlight the importance of positively charged residues for the antibacterial activity of AMPs but also present a useful drug candidate for combating multidrug-resistant bacteria."

+289,skin cancer,39553300,The role of small extracellular vesicles in spreading and inhibiting arthropod-borne diseases.,"Arthropod-borne diseases (ABDs) refer to a group of viral pathogens that affect a wide range of vertebrate hosts, including humans and non-human primates. In addition to being transmitted by mosquitoes and ticks, arthropods can also spread pathogens that cause severe human diseases. On the other hand, extracellular vesicles (EVs) can serve as cross-placental drug delivery vehicles (DDVs) to the fetus and even as antigen-presenting cells (APCs). To this end, the current review aimed to examine the role of small EVs (sEVs) in the transmission and inhibition of arthropod-borne viruses, also known as arboviruses. First, a deeper understanding of the mechanistic aspects of how these vesicles function during insect-pathogen interactions is required. Next, scalability and yield optimization must be addressed while introducing EV-based therapeutics on an industrial scale in order to implement them effectively. Finally,it is recommended to consider that sEV-mediated transfer plays a crucial role in the spread of ABDs. This is because it transfers pathogenic agents between cells within vectors, resulting in subsequent transmission to hosts. Consequently, sEVs provide potential targets for the development of novel therapies that inhibit pathogen replication or reduce arthropod vector populations. Future research in this area should emphasize how these vesicles function within host-vector systems, using advanced imaging techniques - such as high-resolution microscopy (HRM) - and cost-effective methods, in order to produce sufficient quantities for large-scale implementation."

Conventional and known therapies like surgeries, radiation therapies and chemotherapy although helpful are sometime deleterious and do not specifically attack the cancers. New advancement is half-breed technique has recently been recognized that photodynamic therapy (PDT) can be considered as a potentially effective modality by using photosensitizers which work through the generation of localized ROS on exposure to light. This review analyzes the recent progress in PDT and evaluation of its effectiveness in the cure of skin malignancies: with the emphasis on its applicability to BCCs and SCCs, as well as the limitations concerning the cure of melanomas. This review gives an insight to how PDT works and how it can be combined with other forms of therapy, and the prospects of photosensitizer carriers with special reference to nanotechnology. Also, the optimization of the parameters associated with the use of PDT is explored in an attempt to improve on its safety and efficacy in treatment. As such, the purpose of this systematic review of the literature is to advance the knowledge of PDT usage in contemporary dermatologic oncology and to contribute to the eventual expansion of this therapy into other skin diseases and potential use as a first-line treatment for skin neoplasia."

In this study, we explore the application value of ultrasound radiomics in the differential diagnosis of KHE so as to provide reference for early diagnosis of KHE. We selected 194 cases of children with suspected KHE admitted to Henan Provincial People's Hospital from March 2016 to April 2024 for this retrospective analysis. All children completed ultrasound examinations in our hospital. After pathological biopsy, 132 cases were diagnosed with KHE. Taking pathological biopsy as the gold standard, the diagnostic rate of ultrasound examination was determined. Our results showed that ultrasound examination diagnosed 124 cases with KHE. Compared with pathological biopsy, the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of ultrasound were 81.82, 77.42, and 80.41%, respectively (Kappa = 0.725). Most of the children had a single lesion, often involving the skin. The tumor was hard in texture and red or purple in color and did not fade when pressed. The two-dimensional sonogram showed a solid heterogeneous echo mass in the soft tissue. The lesion was generally large, irregular in shape, and unclear in boundaries, extending to the adipose layer and forming a ""tree root-like"" change. Microscopically, crossed spindle-shaped cell bundles could be seen, showing diffuse multinodular infiltrative growth. Children with the Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) generally had larger lesions. Subsequently, the children with KHE were assigned to a training set and a validation set in a ratio of 7:3. High-throughput data acquisition of the regions of interest (ROIs) on the ultrasound images was carried out to construct a KEH prediction model based on ultrasound radiomics, and validation analysis was conducted. We found the diagnostic accuracy rate of ultrasound radiomics was 91.41%, the sensitivity was 77.44%, and the specificity was 97.21%, which were better than those of the conventional ultrasound. In conclusion, ultrasound radiomics analysis is highly effective in the diagnosis of KHE, which can contribute to the early diagnosis rate of KHE."

Advanced melanoma (AM), categorized as stage III and IV, presents considerable treatment challenges due to its complex mutational landscape. Traditional treatment options have included checkpoint inhibitors and BRAF inhibitors, with pembrolizumab emerging as a promising agent. Approved by the FDA and EMA for various stages of melanoma, pembrolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction, thereby enhancing immune system-mediated tumor eradication. This abstract discusses a recent phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of neoadjuvant (presurgery) versus adjuvant (postsurgery) pembrolizumab treatment in resectable stage III or IV melanoma. The study, involving 313 patients across 90 US hospitals, found that neoadjuvant-adjuvant pembrolizumab significantly improved event-free survival (72%) compared to adjuvant-only treatment (49%) after 2 years. Treatment-related adverse events were consistent with known profiles, including fatigue, nausea, and diarrhea, without new severe adverse effects. No increase in surgery-related complications was observed with neoadjuvant treatment. These findings suggest that neoadjuvant pembrolizumab offers substantial benefits over adjuvant-only treatment, although further research is warranted. Future studies should focus on larger cohorts, diverse demographics, and extended follow-up to validate these results and potentially integrate neoadjuvant pembrolizumab into standard treatment protocols for advanced melanoma."

The WNT/β-catenin pathway is essential in maintaining the balance between cell renewal and differentiation in various tissues. Abnormal activation of this pathway can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and initiate cancer across a variety of tissues such as the colon, skin, liver, and ovary. It enhances characteristics that lead to cancer progression, including angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis. Processes like autophagy and apoptosis which regulate cell death and play a crucial role in maintaining cellular equilibrium are also intimately linked with WNT/ β-catenin pathway. Thus, targeting WNT pathway has become a key strategy in developing antitumor therapies. Employing small molecule inhibitors has emerged as a targeted therapy to improve the clinical outcome compared to conventional cancer treatments. Many strategies using small molecule inhibitors for modulating the WNT/β-catenin pathway, such as hindering WNT ligands' secretion or interaction, disrupting receptor complex, and blocking the nuclear translocation of β-catenin have been investigated. These interventions have shown promise in both preclinical and clinical settings. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of the role of WNT/β-catenin signalling pathway's role in cancer, emphasizing its regulation of autophagy and apoptosis. Our goal is to highlight the potential of specific small molecule inhibitors targeting this pathway, fostering the development of novel, tailored cancer treatments."

Iridophoromas are a type of chromatophoroma that are reported in several teleost species. There are multiple case reports of this diagnosis in betta fish (Betta splendens), but all previously reported cases originated from the skin. This is the first report of an intra-ocular iridophoroma. An adult betta fish had buphthalmia of the right eye and enucleation was performed. The fish survived surgery but was found dead 2 days later. The eye and entire body were examined histologically, and the right eye was also examined ultrastructurally. Histologically, the uveal tract of the right eye was unilaterally and markedly expanded by a neoplasm that expanded and obliterated the iris and choroid and regionally invaded the cornea and sclera. The neoplasm was composed of spindle cells that contained pale green, birefringent, crystalline granules (iridophores). Transmission electron microscopy revealed that neoplastic cells contained a single elongated nucleus and one or more thin cytoplasmic bundles of reflecting plates that were oriented parallel to the basal lamina, further confirming the diagnosis of iridophoroma. This is the first reported case of an iridophoroma arising from the uveal tract. Most cases of iridophoromas and other chromatophoromas in fish are reported as benign. However, there are no established histological criteria of malignancy in these neoplasms. Despite the bland cellular morphology, most reported cases of iridophoromas and other chromatophoromas in bettas (including this case) had substantial tissue invasion and/or destruction. This suggests that iridophoromas and chromatophoromas in bettas may have local invasion, consistent with malignancy, despite bland cytological features."

In head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy, thermoplastic masks (TMs), which come into direct contact with the skin, represent a potential vector for infection. Additionally, the storage racks where these masks are kept may also facilitate microorganism transmission. Our study aimed to isolate and identify microorganisms from infective skin lesions secondary to radiation dermatitis in head and neck cancer patients, as well as from the TMs and storage racks, and to evaluate the antibiotic resistance profiles of the isolated microorganisms. The study included 71 locally advanced head and neck cancer patients who underwent radiotherapy between August 2022 and November 2023. Patients were monitored daily, and their skin evaluations were made according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. Grade 2 and 3 radiodermatitis was observed in 29 of these 71 patients. Samples were collected using sterile swabs from the skin lesions on the head and neck area, the inner surfaces of the TM, and the storage rack from 29 patients. Samples were inoculated into enrichment and selective media. After the growing microorganisms were identified, antimicrobial susceptibility was evaluated using conventional methods and automated systems according to the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) criteria. At least one type of microorganism was isolated from the skin samples of infected patients, and double growth was detected in two patients. Among the samples, 2 were methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (MRCNS), 1 was methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), 1 was Candida albicans (C. albicans), 15 were methicillin-sensitive coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (MSCNS), 1 was methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), 1 was Bacillus subspecies (Bacillus spp.) and 3 were Corynebacterium diphtheriae (C. diphtheriae). Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus strains were isolated from the skin of 14 of 19 patients with grade 2 radiation dermatitis, whereas CNS strains were isolated from only 2 of 10 patients with grade 3 radiation dermatitis. Among the gram-negative bacteria, 3 Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), 2 Enterobacter cloacae (E. cloacae), 1 Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) and 1 Moraxella catarrhalis (M. catarrhalis) strain were isolated. Sixteen (55.1%) of the TMs used in 29 patients and 20 (68.9%) of the storage racks harbored microorganisms, including HAI agents and flora bacteria.

Here, we report the identification and characterization of adhibin, a synthetic allosteric inhibitor of RhoGAP class-IX myosins that abrogates ATPase and motor function, suppressing RhoGTPase-mediated modes of cancer cell metastasis. In human and murine adenocarcinoma and melanoma cell models, including three-dimensional spheroid cultures, we reveal anti-migratory and anti-adhesive properties of adhibin that originate from local disturbances in RhoA/ROCK-regulated signalling, affecting actin-dynamics and actomyosin-based cell-contractility. Adhibin blocks membrane protrusion formation, disturbs remodelling of cell-matrix adhesions, affects contractile ring formation, and disrupts epithelial junction stability; processes severely impairing single/collective cell migration and cytokinesis. Combined with the non-toxic, non-pathological signatures of adhibin validated in organoids, mouse and Drosophila models, this mechanism of action provides the basis for developing anti-metastatic cancer therapies."

Recently, 3D skin models have proven to be effective for studying serious skin conditions, such as melanoma. For these advanced models to be applicable in preclinical studies, thorough characterization is essential to understand their applicability and limitations. In this study, we used bioimaging and RNA sequencing to assess the architecture and transcriptomic profiles of skin models, including models with melanoma. Our results indicated that these models closely mimicked skin morphology and gene expression patterns. The full-thickness (FT) model shows a superior resemblance to the human skin, particularly in basement membrane formation and cellular interactions. The integrity of the skin-like properties and gene expression signatures of both skin and melanoma cells were preserved upon the integration of melanoma cells, establishing these models as robust platforms for cancer research. The responsiveness of the FT melanoma models to vemurafenib treatment was successfully monitored, demonstrating their validity as a reliable, reproducible, and humane tool for pharmacological testing and drug development. Furthermore, the transcriptomic data showed that skin models with cancer spheroids had upregulated genes linked to aggressive and resilient cancer behavior compared to spheroids alone. This emphasizes the importance of the microenvironment in cancer progression and suggests that 3D skin models can serve to uncover mechanisms and therapeutic targets that are not detectable in simpler systems. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This study introduces advanced, ethically sound skin and melanoma models as alternatives to animal testing in drug discovery. By thoroughly characterizing these models using bioimaging and RNA sequencing, we demonstrate their close resemblance to human skin, particularly in full-thickness models. These models not only replicate the complex cellular interactions and gene expression patterns of human tissue but also maintain robustness after melanoma integration. Our findings highlight the potential of these models in revealing cancer mechanisms and therapeutic targets, offering a significant impact on melanoma research and preclinical testing."

Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a non-invasive imaging modality that enables in vivo visualization of the skin at the cellular level, allowing for adequate estimation of LM/LMM margins. We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating RCM's performance compared with histopathology in margin mapping of LM/LMM. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, and Clinicaltrials.gov for studies published until July 2023, assessing RCM diagnostic accuracy for presurgical LM/LMM margin delineation. Negative predictive value (NPV; number of true negatives confirmed by histopathology out of all negatives found on RCM) was our primary outcome.

Therefore, the design of more effective and safe options remains imperative. Photothermal therapy (PTT) using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) presents a promising and innovative approach. In this work, the efficacy of combining a previously optimized formulation of AuNPs coated with a mixture of hyaluronic and oleic acids (HAOA-AuNPs) with near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation in melanoma cell lines was explored. Coated and uncoated AuNPs formulations were characterized in physicochemical, morphological and elemental terms. Next, the cellular uptake efficiency as well as antiproliferative activity of the combination of each formulation with laser irradiation was evaluated. Subsequently, HAOA-AuNPs were selected to assess the underlying mechanism of combined therapy by cell cycle and Annexin V/PI assays. An in vivo syngeneic murine melanoma model was also conducted. In vitro studies demonstrated that 24 h after incubation and in the absence of laser, HAOA-AuNPs did not exhibit cytotoxic effects on the melanoma cell lines tested, similar to the laser alone. On the contrary, the combination therapy resulted in a large reduction in cell viability. Furthermore, it has been shown to promote S-phase cell cycle arrest and increase in the percentage of late apoptotic cells. Finally, the in vivo proof-of-concept showed that the intratumoral administration of HAOA-AuNPs followed by three laser irradiations impaired tumor progression. Collectively, AuNP-based PTT holds significant potential to improve treatment efficacy and safety, offering a versatile and potent tool against cancer."

However, varying shapes of the lesions, lack of defined edges, and the presence of obstructions such as hair strands and marker colours make this challenge more complex. Additionally, skin lesions often exhibit subtle variations in texture and colour that are difficult to differentiate from surrounding healthy skin, necessitating models that can capture both fine-grained details and broader contextual information. Currently, melanoma segmentation models are commonly based on fully connected networks and U-Nets. However, these models often struggle with capturing the complex and varied characteristics of skin lesions, such as the presence of indistinct boundaries and diverse lesion appearances, which can lead to suboptimal segmentation performance. To address these challenges, we propose a novel lightweight network specifically designed for skin lesion segmentation utilising mobile devices, featuring a minimal number of learnable parameters (only 0.8 million). This network comprises an encoder-decoder architecture that incorporates conformer-based focal modulation attention, self-aware local and global spatial attention, and split channel-shuffle. The efficacy of our model has been evaluated on four well-established benchmark datasets for skin lesion segmentation: ISIC 2016, ISIC 2017, ISIC 2018, and PH2.

LADs are developmentally regulated, and their dysregulation is associated with several diseases and pathological states, including cancer and premature aging. In addition to LADs, other nuclear protein compartments appear to scaffold or support unique chromatin environments to affect gene expression. These revelations carry profound implications for our comprehension of developmental processes and the pathogenesis of various diseases, especially given the numerous disorders already directly associated with, for example, mutations in lamin and INM proteins. This spatial compartmentalization of chromatin subtypes to unique protein compartments has led to the adoption of proximity-labeling methods, such as DamID (DNA Adenine Methyltransferase Identification), to identify these unique chromatin compartments."

This report describes two cases of vascular proliferation affecting the skin on the lateral side over the left tarsus and the dorsolateral region over the fetlock joint of two fillies. The clinical history, presentation, and radiographic and sonographic findings in both patients suggested a neoplasm of unknown origin. Surgical excision of the mass was successfully performed in both patients. In one patient, a second surgery was performed six months after the first surgery because of the recurrence of the mass. Histopathological examination revealed a disorganized proliferation of well-differentiated, tortuous, and varied-sized blood vessels hemmed in myxoid tissue with abundant fibrocollagenous bands. Immunohistochemical examination of the endothelium markers factor VIII and ERG revealed positive staining of the mass samples in both cases, confirming their vascular origin.

However, the effect of chronic viral infections on risk of skin cancer development, particularly in individuals co-infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Hepatitis B or C Viruses (HBV/HCV), has yet to be elucidated. This systematic review aims to be one of the first to consolidate existing literature and examine the relationship between skin cancer and HIV/HBV and HIV/HCV co-infections. We conducted a systematic review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, searching MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Web of Science databases for studies published from inception to March 26, 2024. Inclusion criteria for studies included only those reporting on HBV and/or HCV in people living with HIV (PLWH). Five studies were ultimately included for analysis. The review identified multiple non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) and cutaneous adnexal carcinomas in HIV/HCV or HIV/HBV co-infected patients. Notably, Pilomatrical carcinomas were observed in co-infected individuals. Sarcomas including Kaposi sarcoma and low-grade fibroblastic sarcoma were also linked to HIV/HCV or HIV/HBV infections. However, the studies primarily focused on specific types of cancers without elucidating the underlying mechanisms for the association between HIV/HCV/HBV infection and sarcoma development. In summary, this review suggests a potential link between HIV/HCV and HIV/HBV co-infection and certain types of skin cancer, namely adnexal carcinomas. Further research is crucial to determine the underlying mechanisms, explore the association with different skin cancer types, and identify effective prevention and treatment strategies for co-infected individuals."

Predisposing factors for tumor development include previous trauma, hormonal imbalance, infections, drug side effects, and genetic abnormalities associated with angiogenesis and vascular damage. Since the clinical and endoscopic manifestations of PG are diverse and nonspecific, the results of histological examination are decisive in the diagnosis of this pathology. The literature presents a limited amount of data on the clinic and treatment of tracheal PG and provides isolated publications on the laryngeal localization of PG in adults. In this article, we report on our own clinical observation of PG in the vestibular larynx in a 60-year-old man who complained of a foreign body sensation in the throat, snoring and sleep apnea. Laryngostroboscopy and contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a 1.5×1.8 cm formation in the vestibular region, floating during breathing and obstructing the entrance to the larynx. After flexible tracheobronchoscopy with tracheal intubation, the patient underwent direct supporting microlaryngoscopy with the removal of the neoplasm, for which a radio wave electrode was used.

+331,skin cancer,39545505,Haematogenous seeding in mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome: Current evidence and clinical implications.,"Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterised by abnormal neoplastic T-cell growth in the skin. Mycosis fungoides (MF), the most common CTCL, manifests as erythematous skin patches and/or plaques, tumours or erythroderma. The disease may involve blood, lymph nodes and rarely viscera. Sézary syndrome (SS) is a unique leukaemia/lymphoma syndrome related to MF, which presents with blood and skin involvement at diagnosis. The pathogenesis of MF/SS is not fully elucidated. The presence of skin lesions at distant sites underpins a hypothesis that MF/SS lesions may develop through haematogenous seeding. Phenotypic similarities between malignant and normal T-cells led to the notion that disease-initiating mutations occur in specific subtypes of mature T-cells, which are responsible for most CTCLs. However, this mature T-cell precursor model is not always consistent with clinical observations and research on MF/SS pathogenesis. Here, we review evidence supporting an alternative model of pathogenesis for MF/SS involving haematogenous seeding as a key process responsible for the initiation and progression of the disease. According to this hypothesis, malignant transformation occurs at an early stage of T-cell development (probably in bone marrow or thymus), yielding circulating neoplastic T-cells which colonise the skin where the microenvironment is most permissive for proliferation and evolution. These mutated precursor cells seed the skin where they find a suitable niche to develop into clinically perceptible disease. Subsequently, malignant T-cells can re-enter the bloodstream, re-seed pre-existing lesions and seed new areas of the skin, causing synchronous and convergent changes in the transcriptomic profile of lesions and tumours, and clinical disease progression - 'consecutive haematogenous seeding' captures this temporal phenomenon. This model radically changes the current understanding of CTCL pathogenesis, transforming it from a primarily cutaneous disease with secondary involvement of blood, to a systemic disease, where the spread of malignant cells through the blood to the skin is not a phenomenon of advanced disease but is an essential component of pathogenesis. This understanding of MF/SS could have several clinical implications, including standardising our approach to assessing blood tumour burden, potential advances in prognosis and monitoring, and investigating combination treatments to improve patient outcomes."

Cancer immune evasion involves interaction between tumor intrinsic properties and the microenvironment. The transcription factor E2F1 is a key driver of tumor evolution and metastasis. To explore E2F1's role in immune regulation in presence of aggressive melanoma cells, we established a coculture system and utilized transcriptome and cytokine arrays combined with bioinformatics and structural modeling. We identified an E2F1-dependent gene regulatory network with IL6 as a central hub. E2F1-induced IL-6 secretion unleashes an autocrine inflammatory feedback loop driving invasiveness and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. IL-6-activated STAT3 physically interacts with E2F1 and cooperatively enhances IL-6 expression by binding to an E2F1-STAT3-responsive promoter element.

Electro Magneto Hydro Dynamics (EMHD), non-linear thermal radiation and exponential and thermal- space dependent heat source/sink coefficients are considered with the intent of conceiving an Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method with shooting procedures integrated with a combination of an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Reptile Search Algorithm (RSA). Then, ANFIS-RSA, is used to predict the Nusselt number, skin friction co-efficient in radial and tangential velocities. Reliable self-similarity variables have reduced a non-linear partial differential set of equations into an ordinary differential equation. According to the empirical evidence, Sisko fluid parameter rises the radial velocity whereas for magnetic field and Darcy-Forchheimer the azimuthal and axial velocities visualizations decreasing trend, respectively. The entropy generation and Bejan number rises for electric and radiation effects. Also, ANFIS-RSA indicates that the model attained a high level of precision in terms of radial velocity (98.13%), tangential velocity (98.18%) and Nusselt number (98.91%).

In this regard, depletion of p63, a p53 family transcription factor prominently expressed in human and mouse epidermis, accelerates both aging and the onset of senescence markers in vivo animal models as well as in ex vivo keratinocytes. Nonetheless, the biochemical link between p63 action and senescence phenotype remains largely unexplored. In the present study, through ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy (UPLC-MS/MS) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) metabolomic analysis, we uncover interesting pathways linking replicative senescence to metabolic alterations during p63 silencing in human keratinocytes. Integration of our metabolomic profiling data with targeted transcriptomic investigation empowered us to demonstrate that absence of p63 and senescence share similar modulation profiles of oxidative stress markers, pentose phosphate pathway metabolites and lyso-glycerophospholipids, the latter due to enhanced phospholipases gene expression profile often under p63 direct/indirect gene control. Additional biochemical features identified in deranged keratinocytes include a relevant increase in lipids production, glucose and pyruvate levels as confirmed by upregulation of gene expression of key lipid synthesis and glycolytic enzymes, which, together with improved vitamins uptake, characterize senescence phenotype. Silencing of p63 in keratinocytes instead, translates into a blunted flux of metabolites through both glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, likely due to a p63-dependent reduction of hexokinase 2 and citrate synthase gene expression. Our findings highlight the potential role of p63 in counteracting keratinocyte senescence also through fine regulation of metabolite levels and relevant biochemical pathways. We believe that our research might contribute significantly to the discovery of new implications of p63 in keratinocyte senescence and related diseases."

Here, we asked whether developmental origin drives different functions of skin Langerhans cells (LCs), an embryo-derived mononuclear phagocyte with features of both tissue macrophages and dendritic cells. Using time-course analyses, bone marrow chimeras, and fate tracing models, we found that the complete elimination of embryo-derived LCs at steady state results in their repopulation from circulating monocytes. However, monocyte-derived LCs inefficiently replenished the epidermal niche. Instead, these cells preferentially migrated to skin-draining lymph nodes. Mechanistically, we show that the enhanced migratory capability of monocyte-derived LCs is associated with higher expression of CD207/Langerin, a C-type lectin involved in the capture of skin microbes. Our data demonstrate that ontogeny plays a role in the migratory behavior of epidermal LCs."

At the lung level, alcohol metabolites specifically affect apical cilia, type II alveolar epithelial cells, macrophages, and the blood-air membrane. Constituting the alcoholic lung phenotype, which increases the risk of developing lung infections, direct damage, exacerbated symptoms and causes an increase in mortality in many other lung diseases. Similarly, this toxicity is associated in people with genetic susceptibility, with the appearance of lung cancer. Acetaldehyde is the main metabolite of alcohol that produces cellular oxidative stress and produces the subsequent damage involved in the pathogenesis of many lung diseases, including acute lung injury, asthma, acute pulmonary edema, and COPD. Additionally, inflammatory oxidants produced by the acetaldehyde alters several important stages of the natural or innate response at the bronchial and pulmonary levels to pathogens and injuries, and alters the epithelial barrier, predisposing the lungs to bronchitis, pneumonia, and tuberculosis. Therefore, it is of fundamental importance to implement preventive measures and promote awareness of the damage that alcohol produces in adolescents, and in the population with chronic alcohol consumption."

Previous research identified the proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2, Pyk2, as a critical mediator of GC-induced bone loss, and that blocking Pyk2 could protect the skeleton from adverse GC actions. However, systemic administration of current Pyk2 inhibitors causes harmful side effects, such as skin lesions. To address this, we developed bone-targeted (BT) Pyk2 inhibitors by conjugating them with bisphosphonates (BP), ensuring adherence to the bone matrix and reducing impact on noncalcified tissues. We synthesized BT-Amide by linking a derivative of TAE-226, a Pyk2 inhibitor, with alendronic acid. Oral administration (gavage) of BT-Amide prevented GC-induced bone loss in mice without causing skin lesions, or elevation of any organ toxicity markers. These findings introduce BT-Amide as the first orally effective bone-targeted Pyk2 inhibitor for preventing GC-induced bone loss while minimizing off-target effects."

As patients wait for treatment before or after referral, the prognosis for those with melanoma worsens. Teledermatology was introduced to help reduce waiting times. The objective of this study was to investigate how the introduction of teledermatology affected management of skin tumours, from primary care physicians to dermatologists. A retrospective cohort study was performed 1 year before and 1 year after introduction of teledermatology in Östergötland County, Sweden. Patients were included from 3 primary healthcare centres by 3 independent observers. A total of 2,139 patients were included in the study. The 2 cohorts were well matched. At 2 of the 3 primary healthcare centres there was a significant increase in the use of dermoscopy, and almost 66% of all referrals were teledermatological in the year following its introduction. There was a trend towards higher diagnostic accuracy in the post-teledermatology cohort. No apparent effect on melanoma referral times was observed.

Expectant mothers were recruited from medical clinics and community settings and were asked to complete surveys and interviews. The intervention, informed by the Cognitive-Social Health Information Processing model, consisted of two peer coach-led remote sessions. The majority of mothers (81%) attended both intervention sessions and reported increased understanding of (88%) and improved sun protection practices for themselves (79%; such as wearing sunscreen and reapplying sunscreen while outside). Additionally, 89% agreed that SUNRISE content is beneficial for new mothers. Moreover, maternal self-efficacy for implementing sun protection, intention to implement sun-safe behaviors for their infants, and knowledge of infant skin cancer prevention also increased with large effect sizes (d = 0.8-1.3). Mothers reported significantly decreased barriers to sun safety pre- to post-intervention. Feasibility of recruitment and delivery of a peer-led intervention focused on sun safety in women and their infants was high, and the intervention was acceptable to participating women. Mothers improved their sun protection behaviors over time, and implementation of sun protection behaviors for their infants was high.

This research aimed to determine the relationship between the prevention of melanoma development in a mouse model treated with liposomes loaded with soybean lunasin and amaranth unsaponifiable matter (UM + LunLip) and cell cycle arrest. Tumors excised from C57BL/6 mice treated topically or subcutaneously with UM + LunLip were subjected to immunohistochemistry. Markers related to cell cycle inhibition (p16, p21, p27, and p53) and markers involved in cell cycle progression (cyclin-dependent kinase, CDK6, and cyclin D1) were assessed. The results showed that UM + LunLip had antitumor activity in C57BL/6 mice treated either topically or subcutaneously by p16, p21, p27, and p53 overexpression (up to 572-, 134-, 30-, and 57-fold change, FC, respectively) in the tumors of mice treated with 30 mg UM + LunLip/kg body weight compared with the tumor-bearing untreated control. However, CDK6 and cyclin D1 expression was not inhibited (up to 1.37 FC and 2.09 FC, respectively), which is a typical behavior of cyclin D in melanoma. Therefore, melanoma tumor development was prevented by the overexpression of cell cycle inhibitors p16, p21, p27, and p53 due to UM + LunLip treatments. Since the topical application was effective, less invasive, and more practical for the user, this application will be recommended for future steps in in vivo studies."

Gaseous and size-fractioned particulate samples from SHS and THS along with wipe samples on desk and floor surfaces were collected and analyzed for tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs). The concentration, composition, and size distribution of indoor TSNAs varied between SHS and THS due to variability in particle deposition, air exchange, chemical reaction, and partitioning. Children had higher per body weight daily intake of TSNAs and nicotine through all exposure pathways than other population groups.

However, less research has been conducted on the role of TIPE2 in melanoma. Our study aims to elucidate the mechanism of action of TIPE2 in the development of melanoma. We examined TIPE2 expression in paracarcinoma tissue and melanoma tissues and found that TIPE2 expression was downregulated in melanoma tissue compared with paracarcinoma tissue. Overexpression of TIPE2 significantly inhibited the proliferation of melanoma cells in vitro and even inhibited tumor formation in vivo. The CCK8 assay results indicated that TIPE2 overexpression suppressed the proliferation of melanoma cells. The colony-forming ability and wound healing ability of TIPE2-overexpressing melanoma cells were significantly reduced compared with those of control cells. Moreover, immunohistochemistry experiments using a nude mouse tumor model showed consistent results. TIPE2 inhibited the phosphorylation of MEK and ERK. In summary, TIPE2 suppresses the proliferation and migration of melanoma cells by affecting proliferation-related factors and possibly by regulating the MEK/ERK pathway. TIPE2 could be used to inhibit melanoma growth and is a potential drug target for future drug development."

Although conventionally GI and skin are considered two entirely separate organ systems, they are closely correlated in origin. An increasing amount of data highlights the complex relationship between GI and dermatological conditions. This review article aims to particularly explore the clinical correlation between neoplastic and autoimmune GI disorders and skin manifestations, which serve as clinical indicators of these diseases. Neoplastic diseases including pancreatic cancer, gastric adenocarcinoma, Muir-Torre syndrome, carcinoid syndrome, and malignant and benign colorectal polyposis syndromes can be accompanied by skin conditions like pancreatic panniculitis, acanthosis nigricans, keratoacanthomas, necrolytic migratory erythema, melanotic macules, oral papillomas and osteomas, respectively. Autoimmune diseases including celiac disease, autoimmune liver conditions and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have been linked to dermatological manifestations such as xanthomas, morphea, psoriasis, dermatitis herpetiformis, erythema nodosum and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita. The skin manifestations can precede the GI symptoms and indicate the severity of the underlying condition, serving as a significant diagnostic marker earlier in the disease. Resolution of skin findings can also indicate the efficacy of treatment strategies and provide prognostic utility.

Disruption of this homeostasis leads to numerous skin disorders. Human and animal skin differ significantly, limiting the translational potential of animal-based investigations to advance therapeutics to human skin diseases. Hence, there is a critical need for physiologically relevant human skin models to explore novel treatment strategies. Recent advances in microfluidic technologies now allow design and generation of organ-on-chip devices that mimic critical features of tissue architecture. Skin-on-a-chip and microfluidic platforms hold promise as useful models for diverse dermatology applications. Compared with traditional in vitro models, microfluidic platforms offer improved control of fluid flow, which in turn allows precise manipulation of cell and molecular distribution. These properties enable the generation of multilayered in vitro models that mimic human skin structure while simultaneously offering superior control over nutrient and drug distribution. Researchers have used microfluidic platforms for a variety of applications in skin research, including epidermal-dermal cellular crosstalk, cell migration, mechanobiology, microbiome-immune response interactions, vascular biology, and wound healing.

So far, no guidelines and treatment algorithms exist that could help clinicians with the management of UV. In this review, we describe evidence on systemic treatments used for UV and propose a clinical decision-making algorithm for UV management based on the Urticarial Vasculitis Activity Score assessed for 7 days (UVAS7). Patients with occasional UV-like urticarial lesions and patients with UV with skin-limited manifestations and/or mild arthralgia/malaise (total UVAS7 ≤7 of 70) can be initially treated using the step-wise algorithm for chronic urticaria including second-generation H1-antihistamines, omalizumab, and cyclosporine A. Patients with UV with more severe symptoms (UVAS7 >7), especially those with hypocomplementemic UV, may require a multidisciplinary approach, particularly if underlying diseases, for example, systemic lupus erythematosus, cancer, or infection, are present.

It presents as a spectrum from atypical intraepidermal melanocytic proliferation (AIMP) to invasive lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM). Accurate diagnosis and staging are crucial for determining appropriate management strategies. To assess the role of in vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) in differentiating early and advanced stages of lentigo maligna. A systematic search was conducted on Medline, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Proquest Central, Embase, Cochrane and Google Scholar. References of included and excluded studies were reviewed for additional sources. Studies involving RCM for AIMP, LM and LMM diagnosis published until 1 December 2023, were selected for analysis. Publications on other non-invasive imaging techniques, other skin diseases or those addressing only RCM surgical margins and therapeutic response without reporting RCM features were excluded. Each article was reviewed by two experts, with disagreements resolved by a third expert. Data for each RCM feature were pooled, and odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Features were stratified for architecture, cellular morphology and distribution. Twenty-seven articles involving 303 lesions were included. Features favouring LM over AIMP included (1) Architecture: the presence of non-edged papillae (OR 4.50, 95% CI 1.92-10.52) and (2) Cellular distribution: widespread pagetoid cells and junctional atypical cells (OR 25.06, 95% CI 4.19-148.45) and junctional nests (OR 18.06, 95% CI 3.04-106.32).

Recent therapies, notably immunotherapy and targeted therapy, have significantly improved the outcome of patients with metastatic melanoma. Previously dismal five-year survival rates of below 5% have shifted to over 50% of patients surviving the five-year mark, marking a significant shift in the landscape of melanoma treatment and survival. Unfortunately, about 50% of patients either do not respond to therapy or experience early or late relapses following an initial response. The underlying mechanisms for primary and secondary resistance to targeted therapies or immunotherapy and relapse patterns remain not fully identified. However, several molecular pathways and genetic factors have been associated with melanoma resistance to these treatments. Understanding these mechanisms paves the way for creating novel treatments that can address resistance and ultimately enhance patient outcomes in melanoma.

Using the genome-wide association analysis database, a double-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was drawn upon to investigate GM, immune cells, and melanoma skin cancer. The inverse variance weighted approach was applied to estimate the causal connections among these variables. A two-step MR analysis was employed to quantitatively gauge the impact of immune cells mediated GM on melanoma skin cancer. To address potential sources of bias, such as pleiotropy and heterogeneity, multiple analytical techniques were integrated. The MR analysis pinpointed 6 GM taxa related to either an augmented or declined risk of late-stage melanoma skin cancer. In the same vein, 32 immune cell phenotypes were noticed as correlates with modified risk of melanoma skin cancer. Our study also implies that the probable association between GM and melanoma could be facilitated by 5 immune cell phenotypes. The findings of our study underline certain GM taxa and immune cells as potential influencers on the onset and development of melanoma skin cancer. Importantly, our results spotlight 5 immune cell phenotypes as potential agents mediating this association."

However, its expression and functional relationship of MAZ in melanoma have not been previously investigated. This study confirms elevated expression of MAZ in melanoma, correlating with poor patient prognosis. Furthermore, our findings demonstrate that MAZ enhances melanoma progression by promoting proliferation, migration and invasion. It is worth noting that we found that MAZ can target and regulate the transcription of NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] iron-sulfur protein 3 (NDUFS3), a core subunit of mitochondrial complex I, to enhance mitochondrial metabolism and thus promote malignant progression of melanoma. Predictive modeling indicates that the co-expression of MAZ and NDUFS3 could serve as a potential prognostic marker for melanoma patients."

WHO-C presents a dichotomous classification (high-grade versus low-grade dysplastic nevi) and a quantitative metric to assess melanocytic nuclear enlargement. The Duke classification is a related approach that provides mostly quantitative histopathologic criteria for dysplastic nevi and gives due weight to architectural features as well as cytology.

Although this pathology can occur at various sites, it is generally rare. Differential diagnosis with other benign lesions or malignancies can be challenging, and since its circumscribed nature is impossible to recognise with a biopsy, excision is frequently required.We present the case of a female patient with a history of bilateral breast cancer, treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, who developed a slowly growing, large bulging mass in the right axilla. Biopsies were benign, and the positron emission tomography-CT showed no hypermetabolism of the mass. However, due to the debilitating bleeding from the fragile mass and uncertainty about its biological behaviour, excision was performed. Pathological examination revealed an intravascular lesion with a central thrombus, characteristic of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia."

Zika virus (ZIKV) can vertically transmit from mother to fetus, causing nervous system infection and congenital ZIKV syndrome (CZS). We identified differential functional roles for fetal monocyte/macrophage cell types and microglia in ZIKV dissemination versus clearance using mouse models. Trafficking of ZIKV-infected primitive macrophages from the yolk sac allowed initial fetal virus inoculation, while recruited monocytes promoted non-productive neuroinflammation. Conversely, brain-resident differentiated microglia were protective, limiting infection and neuronal death. Single-cell RNA sequencing identified transcriptional profiles linked to the protective versus detrimental contributions of mononuclear phagocyte subsets. In human brain organoids, microglia also promoted neuroprotective transcriptional changes and infection clearance. Thus, microglia are protective before birth, contrasting with the disease-enhancing roles of primitive macrophages and monocytes. Differential modulation of myeloid cell phenotypes by genetically divergent ZIKVs underscores the potential of immune cells to regulate diverse outcomes during fetal infections."

Results after ≥1 year of potential follow-up for all patients in cohort B of KEYNOTE-555 are presented. Patients aged ≥18 years with previously untreated stage III/IV melanoma received pembrolizumab 400 mg every 6 weeks for ≤18 cycles. The primary endpoint was objective response rate per RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent central review. Secondary endpoints included duration of response, progression-free survival, pharmacokinetics, and safety. Overall, 101 patients received pembrolizumab. Median projected follow-up was 21.9 months (range, 17.0-25.7). The objective response rate was 50.5% (95% CI: 40.4-60.6; 19 complete responses, 32 partial responses). Median duration of response was not reached (NR; range, 2.4+ to 21.0+ months). Median progression-free survival was 13.8 months (95% CI: 4.1-NR). Observed pharmacokinetic exposures were consistent with model predictions for pembrolizumab 400 mg every 6 weeks and other approved and tested schedules (2 mg/kg or 200 mg every 3 weeks). Grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 13 patients (12.9%). No deaths were considered treatment related. These results support the pharmacokinetic modeling and demonstrate that the benefit-risk profile of pembrolizumab 400 mg Q6W is consistent with that of 200 mg or 2 mg/kg every 3 weeks. Clinically meaningful objective response rate and durable progression-free survival within the expected range for first-line pembrolizumab were observed.

In this article, we report the case of a 67-year-old female patient who presented to our Clinic due to a rapidly evolving, non-painful, vegetating mass, encompassing almost her entire left breast. Imaging studies revealed diffuse skin thickening in all quadrants and an intensely opaque axillary lymph node (LN).

Herein, we present a living photosynthetic microneedle (MN) patch (namely MA/CM@MN) loaded with microalgae (MA) and cuttlefish melanin (CM) for postsurgical melanoma therapy and skin wound healing. Benefiting from the oxygenic photosynthesis of the alive MA in the MN base, the MA/CM@MN can generate oxygen under light exposure, thus facilitating skin cell proliferation and protecting cells against hypoxia-induced cell death. In addition, with CM nanoparticles embedded in the MN tips, the MA/CM@MN can be effectively heated up under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, contributing to a strong tumor killing efficacy on melanoma cells in vitro. Further experiments demonstrate that the NIR-irradiated MA/CM@MN effectively prevents local tumor recurrence and simultaneously promotes the healing of tumor-induced wounds after incomplete tumor resection in melanoma-bearing mice, probably because the MA/CM@MN can inhibit tumor cell proliferation, stimulate tumor cell apoptosis, and mitigate tissue hypoxia in light. These results indicate that the living photosynthetic MN patch offers an effective therapeutic strategy for postoperative cancer therapy and wound healing applications."

Molecules in green seaweeds such as Caulerpa racemosa can serve this purpose due to their anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory properties. A previous work study compounds profiling has been carried out, and in this research the molecular docking studies targeting receptors associated with melanoma (GRP78, IRE1, BRAF) and aging (mTOR, AMPK, SIRT1) identified four promising compound in an extract of C. racemosa. The current study aims to the mechanism of those compounds at a cellular level using the human A375 (BRAF-V600E mutation) and A375 and B16-F10 cell lines. The MTT assay was used to evaluate the potential of GSCRE compounds against A375 and B16-F10 cell lines, with comparisons made to normal HDFa cell lines. Results indicated that compound C2, also known as Caulersin, demonstrated a significantly different ∆G affinity binding score compared to the control drug Dabrafenib. GSCRE crude extract, particularly C2, showed potential in modulating mTOR, AMPK, and SIRT1 pathways and downregulating GRP78, IRE1, and BRAF signaling (p < 0.05).

+412,skin cancer,39528501,Cancer cells sense solid stress to enhance metastasis by CKAP4 phase separation-mediated microtubule branching.,"Solid stress, originating from rigid and elastic components of extracellular matrix and cells, is a typical physical hallmark of tumors. Mounting evidence indicates that elevated solid stress drives metastasis and affects prognosis. However, the molecular mechanism of how cancer cells sense solid stress, thereby exacerbating malignancy, remains elusive. In this study, our clinical data suggest that elevated stress in metastatic solid tumors is highly associated with the expression of cytoskeleton-associated protein 4 (CKAP4). Intriguingly, CKAP4, as a sensitive intracellular mechanosensor, responds specifically to solid stress in a subset of studied tumor micro-environmental elements through liquid-liquid phase separation. These micron-scaled CKAP4 puncta adhere tightly onto microtubules and dramatically reorchestrate their curvature and branching to enhance cell spreading, which, as a result, boosts cancer cell motility and facilitates distant metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, the intrinsically disordered region 1 (IDR1) of CKAP4 binds to microtubules, while IDR2 governs phase separation due to the Ca"

However, the precise mechanisms of lncRNAs in cancer metastasis are still poorly understood. The function of lncRNA-Mir100hg in melanoma and its involvement in mediating communication between tumor stem cells and non-stemness tumor cells remains unknown. We found that Mir100hg is upregulated in melanoma stem cells (CSCs) known as OLSD. Furthermore, Mir100hg can be transferred from OLSD to non-stem cancer cells (OL) through exosomes. Once Mir100hg enters OL cells, it operates through a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanism. It competes with microRNAs (miR-16-5p and miR-23a-3p) by binding to them, thus preventing these miRNAs from targeting their mRNAs. As a result, the expression of glycolysis-related mRNA was restored. This ultimately enhances the metastatic capability of OL cells. In summary, our study uncovers a network used by CSCs to transfer their high metastatic activity to non-stem cancer cells through the exosomal Mir100hg. This mechanism sheds new light on the communication between heterogeneous cancer cell populations in melanoma. Importantly, it provides novel insights into the role of lncRNAs in cancer metastasis and highlights the significance of the tumor microenvironment in facilitating metastasis."

This study uses quantitative phase imaging via digital holographic microscopy, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) to identify the morphological, optical, and behavioral differences between normal melanocytes and SK-MEL-28 melanoma cells. Our findings reveal significant differences in cell shape, size, and internal organization, with SK-MEL-28 cells displaying greater size variability, more polygonal shapes, and higher optical thickness. Phase shift parameters and surface roughness analyses underscore melanoma cells' uniform and predictable textures. Violin plots highlight the dynamic and varied migration of SK-MEL-28 cells, contrasting with the localized movement of melanocytes.

In this study, we transcriptionally profiled SCs and Ps and found that Survivin, a pleiotropic factor that promotes cell division and inhibits apoptosis was preferentially expressed in SCs. Using genetic gain and loss of function mouse models, we showed that Survivin deletion in oncogene-expressing SCs prevents BCC formation. Survivin overexpression renders Ps competent to BCC formation by promoting cell survival and division while preventing apoptosis and differentiation. We identified SGK1, as a key downstream factor of Survivin, and its inhibition prevents BCC formation. This study uncovers the role and mechanisms by which Survivin regulates the competence of SCs to initiate BCC formation promoting the survival of oncogene-expressing SCs and self-renewing division while restricting differentiation and apoptosis."

While the profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap and gracilis-based flaps are most commonly utilized in this scenario, certain anatomic variations may favor alternative flap selection. One such option is the medial circumflex femoral artery perforator flap (MCFLAP). This report describes a case of a 60-year-old patient with a history of abdominoplasty and left breast cancer who underwent skin sparing mastectomy, adjuvant radiation, and ultimately, unilateral autologous breast reconstruction using stacked MCFLAPs. While PAP flaps were initially considered, preoperative CT imaging revealed large septocutaneous perforators originating from the MCFA system, bilaterally. The flaps were designed and harvested on these perforators and weighed 335 g on the right and 355 g on the left. The internal mammary system was accessed at the level of the third rib, and the anterograde and retrograde artery and vein were used as recipient vessels. The patient did not experience any complications postoperatively. A revisionary and symmetrizing procedure was performed several months later, and at 18 months, the patient had completely healed and reported satisfaction with the reconstruction. In addition to a detailed case description, the purpose of this report is to provide a review of the available literature on the MCFLAP including the anatomy, indications, and potential benefits and downfalls of this rare perforator flap. While the PAP flap is our preferred second-line option for autologous breast reconstruction, it is important to be aware that in some instances the more suitable perforators may be arising from the MCFA system. In such cases, the MCFLAP should be considered."

Although we believe bipolar nerve stimulation with intraoperative neuromonitoring is a superior method, many rely on clinical response evoked by handheld monopolar nerve stimulators. We present a modification in the use of the latter for a more precise fascicle stimulation. A 55-year-old man with a right high brachial plexus injury and a 47-year-old woman with a left median nerve schwannoma were scheduled for exploration and ulnar-to-musculocutaneous nerve transfer, and for surgical excision respectively. Intraoperatively, we used a disposable handheld monopolar nerve stimulator in an unorthodox way, placing the anode right next to the cathode (both touching the same nerve fascicle). In the first case, a fascicle that showed flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) and intrinsic hand muscle contraction with standard stimulation (anode placed on patient's skin), showed only FCU activation with our modified method, and was chosen as donor. A BMC grade M4 elbow flexion was achieved 9 months after surgery. In the second case, safe schwannoma excision was performed after our modified stimulation technique caused thenar muscle activation in a single, unaffected fascicle, while standard monopolar stimulation showed activation in several fascicles. No unexpected motor/sensory deficits were noted during follow-up. This report shows an easy modification in the use of handheld nerve stimulators that improves selectiveness when looking for nerve fascicles."

Surgical removal is the primary treatment, but recurrence and metastasis can occur even with low-grade tumours. As a result, new treatment strategies are being sought. We tested the potential of several oncolytic viruses (OVs) to infect and kill a cell line isolated from a canine MCT. Employing a resazurin-based metabolic assay and flow cytometry technology, we used recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV-Δm51), avian orthoavulavirus-1 (AOaV-1), and Orf viruses in our assessment. Our study aimed to evaluate the potential of oncolytic virotherapy in treating canine cancers. We found that MCT-1 cells showed different sensitivities to the OVs, with rVSV-Δm51 showing the most promising results in vitro. These findings suggest that further investigation into using OVs for treating canine MCTs is needed, although clinical efficacy is yet to be determined."

It occurs mainly in soft/connective tissue and skin; orbital involvement is rare. We report the cases of two female adults, analyze the clinicopathologic characteristics, and review the literature. The average age of both patients was 28 years and they presented unilateral proptosis combined with varying degrees of impaired visual acuity and restricted ocular motility in the affected eye. Despite this, they maintained good overall health and no notable family history. However, the patients had no systemic clinical manifestations of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Both patients underwent surgical resection of the orbital tumor. Immunohistochemistry showed positive staining for CD43, Leukocyte Common Antigen (LCA), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) and a high level of positive staining for Ki67, which were diagnostic for MS. Bone marrow cytology examination showed no apparent abnormalities. Postoperative chemotherapy, local radiotherapy, and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) were performed in Case 1, while the second patient underwent adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. No recurrence or metastasis was found in either patient during follow-up (one more than 5 years, the other more than 10 years). The occurrence of orbital MS is infrequent, with atypical clinical and imaging findings. The diagnosis depends on pathomorphology and immunohistochemical staining, and the prognosis is good with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, local radiotherapy, and allo-HSCT."

BCC is slow-growing and locally aggressive but rarely metastasizes.Although scarce, important consequences of untreated or recurrent BCC of the scalp are direct invasion into the skull, meninges, and/or brain. We describe a case of an adult male with a past medical history of basal cell nevus syndrome presenting with a BCC of the scalp complicated by intracranial extension. His critical condition resulted in complications including meningitis, seizures, and hypercoagulability, which ultimately resulted in the patient's death. This case reinforces the importance of routine follow-up as well as timely and aggressive treatment of skin cancer to prevent rare but severe systemic complications and neurologic sequelae."

This study aimed to investigate the use of tocilizumab in the management of NSCLC with coexisting IL-6-elevated cachexia.
+434,skin cancer,39523747,Transforming Skin Cancer Diagnosis: A Deep Learning Approach with the Ham10000 Dataset.,"Skin cancer (SC) is one of the three most common cancers worldwide. Melanoma has the deadliest potential to spread to other parts of the body among all SCs. For SC treatments to be effective, early detection is essential. The high degree of similarity between tumor and non-tumors makes SC diagnosis difficult even for experienced doctors. To address this issue, authors have developed a novel Deep Learning (DL) system capable of automatically classifying skin lesions into seven groups: actinic keratosis (AKIEC), melanoma (MEL), benign keratosis (BKL), melanocytic Nevi (NV), basal cell carcinoma (BCC), dermatofibroma (DF), and vascular (VASC) skin lesions. Authors introduced the Multi-Grained Enhanced Deep Cascaded Forest (Mg-EDCF) as a novel DL model. In this model, first, researchers utilized subsampled multigrained scanning (Mg-sc) to acquire micro features. Second, authors employed two types of Random Forest (RF) to create input features. Finally, the Enhanced Deep Cascaded Forest (EDCF) was utilized for classification. The HAM10000 dataset was used for implementing, training, and evaluating the proposed and Transfer Learning (TL) models such as ResNet, AlexNet, and VGG16. During the validation and training stages, the performance of the four networks was evaluated by comparing their accuracy and loss. The proposed method outperformed the competing models with an average accuracy score of 98.19%. Our proposed methodology was validated against existing state-of-the-art algorithms from recent publications, resulting in consistently greater accuracies than those of the classifiers."
+435,skin cancer,39523112,Bacterial Cellulose-Chitosan Composite for Prolonged-Action L-Asparaginase in Treatment of Melanoma Cells.,"A significant challenge associated with the therapeutic use of L-ASP for treatment of tumors is its rapid clearance from plasma. Effectiveness of L-ASP is limited by the dose-dependent toxicity. Therefore, new approaches are being developed for L-ASP to improve its therapeutic properties. One of the approaches to improve properties of the enzymes, including L-ASP, is immobilization on various types of biocompatible polymers. Immobilization of enzymes on a carrier could improve stability of the enzyme and change duration of its enzymatic activity. Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a promising carrier for various drugs due to its biocompatibility, non-toxicity, high porosity, and high drug loading capacity. Therefore, this material has high potential for application in biomedicine. Native BC is known to have a number of disadvantages related to structural stability, which has led to consideration of the modified BC as a potential carrier for immobilization of various proteins, including L-ASP. In our study, a BC-chitosan composite in which chitosan is cross-linked with glutaraldehyde was proposed for immobilization of L-ASP. Physicochemical characteristics of the BC-chitosan films were found to be superior to those of native BC films, resulting in increase in the release time of L-ASP "

+440,skin cancer,39522646,Weakly-supervised classification of Mohs surgical sections using artificial intelligence.,"Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most frequently diagnosed form of skin cancer, and its incidence continues to rise, particularly among older individuals. This trend puts a significant strain on healthcare systems, especially in terms of histopathologic diagnostics required for Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), which is used to treat BCC in sensitive locations to minimize tissue loss. This study aims to address the challenges in BCC detection within MMS whole-slide images (WSIs) by developing and evaluating a deep learning model that bridges weakly-supervised learning with interpretable segmentation-based methods through attention maps. Utilizing datasets from two medical centers, the model demonstrated an average area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.958 on internal testing and an AUC of 0.934 on an independent third external dataset despite no fine-tuning or preprocessing for the latter. Attention maps provided insights into the model's decision-making, highlighting critical regions for slide-level classification. The sensitivity of the attention maps in localizing tumor regions was 0.853 when no filtering was applied and gave 8 revision false positives per slide on average and was reduced to an average of 2 false positives per slide with a sensitivity of 0.873 when detections smaller than 200 micrometers were removed from the attention maps. These findings indicate that the deep learning model is highly effective in detecting BCC in MMS WSIs, with robust performance across different datasets and conditions. The use of attention maps enhances the model's interpretability, making it a promising tool for aiding dermatopathologists and MMS surgeons."

The EWSR1 and FLI1 genes are members of the FET and ETS gene family, respectively, and very rare examples of Ewing sarcoma harbor alternative FET::ETS fusion events, such as EWSR1::ERG, FUS::FLI1, FUS::ERG, EWSR1::ETV4 and others. We report 5 new cases of this very rare entity, harboring in 3 cases alternative FET::ETS fusion events. The tumors occurred in 2 males and 3 females (median age 14 years; range 8-69 years) and presented as solitary dermal/ subcutaneous masses of the thigh, foot, shoulder, arm and back (median size 1.8 cm; range: 1-2 cm). All patients underwent wide excisions; one received adjuvant chemotherapy. Clinical follow-up on 3 patients (median: 24 months; range: 18-31 months) showed all to be without disease. Morphologically, all tumors displayed typical features of this entity as described, with nests of cytologically bland, diffusely S100 protein/SOX10-positive round cells without mitotic activity, surrounded by fibrous bands containing spindled cells with similar nuclear features. The tumors also showed membranous CD99 (4/5) and nuclear NKX2.2 (3/3) expression. RNA sequencing (4 cases) demonstrated FUS::FLI1, FUS::ERG, EWSR1::FLI1, EWSR1::ERG, and a novel FUS::ETV5. Methylation profiling (4 cases) showed all to cluster with previously reported superficial neurocristic EWSR1::FLI1 fusion tumors and apart from conventional and ""adamantinoma-like"" Ewing sarcoma. Our findings confirm the distinctive clinicopathological features of this very rare, recently described entity and expand its molecular genetic spectrum. Reflecting these findings, we propose modifying the name of this entity to ""superficial neurocristic FET::ETS fusion tumor""."

In this study, we demonstrated the protective role of hair follicle-specific epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) against scarring hair follicle destruction. Mechanistically, disruption of EGFR signaling generated a cell-intrinsic hypersensitivity within the JAK-STAT1 pathway, which, synergistically with interferon gamma expressing CD8 T-cell and NK-cell-mediated inflammation, compromised the stem cell niche. Hair follicle-specific genetic depletion of either JAK1/2 or STAT1 or therapeutic inhibition of JAK1/2 ameliorated the inflammation, restored skin barrier function and activated the residual stem cells to resume hair growth in mouse models of epidermal and hair follicle-specific EGFR deletion. Skin biopsies from EGFR inhibitor-treated and cicatricial alopecia patients revealed an active JAK-STAT1 signaling signature along with upregulation of antigen presentation and downregulation of key components of the EGFR pathway. Our findings offer molecular insights and highlight a mechanism-based therapeutic strategy for addressing chronic folliculitis associated with EGFR-inhibitor anti-cancer therapy and cicatricial alopecia."

This study aimed to investigate the current perioperative practice and technical variations of loop ileostomy reversal following rectal cancer surgery. A nationwide online survey was conducted among members of the Italian Society of ColoRectal Surgery (SICCR). A link to the questionnaire was sent via mail. The survey consisted of 31 questions concerning the main procedural steps and application of the ERAS protocol after loop ileostomy reversal. Overall, 219 participants completed the survey. One respondent in four used a combination of water-soluble contrast studies (WSCS) and digital rectal examination to assess the integrity of the anastomosis before ileostomy closure. Conversely, 17.8% of them used either only WSCS or only endoscopy. Surgeons routinely perform hand-sewn or stapled anastomoses in 45.2% and 54.8% of the cases, respectively. Side-to-side antiperistaltic stapled anastomosis was the most performed anastomosis (36%). Most surgeons declared that they have never used prostheses for abdominal wall closure (64%), whereas 35% preferred retromuscular mesh placement in selected cases only. Forty-six respondents (66.7%) reported using interrupted stitches for skin closure, while 65 (29.7%) a purse-string suture. Furthermore, skin approximation at the stoma site using open methods was significantly more common among surgeons with greater experience in ileostomy reversal (p = 0.031). Overall, a good compliance with the ERAS protocol was found. However, colorectal surgeons were significantly more likely to follow the ERAS pathway than general surgeons (p < 0.05). Surgeons use different anastomotic techniques for ileostomy reversal after rectal cancer surgery. Based on current evidence, purse-string skin closure and ERAS pathway should be implemented, while the role of mesh prophylactic strategy needs to be explored further."

In this spatial ecological study, we evaluate the relationship between access to tanning bed facilities and melanoma incidence. New England county-level melanoma incidence rates (2014-2018), tanning bed facilities location, demographic data, socioeconomic data, and geographic data were obtained from the National Cancer Institute State Cancer Profiles, Data Axle, American Community Survey, and United States Geological Survey. Spatial regression models were utilized to determine the association between melanoma incidence and access to tanning beds, adjusting for confounding factors. Adjusted spatial regression identified that for every 1-minute increase in average travel time to tanning facilities within 30 minutes travel time threshold, the melanoma incidence rate decreased by 3.46% in the same county and by 1.92% across New England. We found a negative association between average travel time to tanning facilities and county-level melanoma incidence rate, suggesting that policy aimed at decreasing access to indoor tanning facilities has the potential to reduce melanoma rates. High-risk clusters, with respect to county-level melanoma rate, were also identified. Targeting of interventions and resources to high-risk clusters may reduce geographic melanoma rates disparities."

Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is a subtype of small-vessel vasculitis. It affects the skin and internal organs, and diagnosis relies solely on histopathological examination. The literature on leukocytoclastic vasculitis linked with malignancies is scarce. CASE REPORT We present the case of a 60-year-old man with multiple cardiovascular comorbidities, presenting with dysuria and elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Further investigations led to diagnosis of metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma. Concurrently, he developed non-specific cutaneous lesions. He underwent hormonal therapy and radiotherapy. During initial treatment, the lesions rapidly progressed to necrotic ulcers; therefore, hormonal therapy was withheld. Extensive investigations ruled out potential infectious or rheumatological causes of the lesions, and histopathological analysis was consistent with cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis. The patient underwent systemic corticoid treatment while continuing radiotherapy. Following completion of radiation therapy and a corticosteroid course, the patient showed good clinical response, with decreased PSA level, resolution of urological symptoms, and clinical improvement of the lesions. He was cleared for hormonal treatment continuation. CONCLUSIONS Given the temporal relationship between the onset of vasculitis, its exacerbation during first days of cancer treatment initiation and the rapid resolution following radiotherapy, a paraneoplastic etiology for leukocytoclastic vasculitis can be considered in this case. While the literature on leukocytoclastic vasculitis associated with malignancies is limited, clinicians must maintain vigilance to ensure timely and accurate diagnosis."

While these insights offer a genetic blueprint of the tumor, they lack multi-omic molecular phenotyping, which is essential for understanding the functional state. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), naturally present in AH, are promising by offering time-resolved phenotypic information. We employed multiplex bead-based flow cytometry and Single Extracellular Vesicle Nanoscopy (SEVEN) to analyze EV phenotypes in AH from a cohort of five RB, with three uveal melanoma (UM) and two age-matched glaucoma (GLC) samples serving as controls. The studies identified CD133-enriched EVs uniquely in RB AH, absent in both GLC and UM AH. This was corroborated by further analysis of five RB cell lines, including two commercial (Y79, Weri) and three in-house developed lines, confirming CD133 enrichment and supporting its role as an RB-specific EV marker. Single-vesicle analysis demonstrated a strong association of CD133 with CD81 and CD63, with minimal CD9 presence. These results, validated through complementary techniques, position CD133 as a critical marker in RB-derived EVs, paving the way for enhanced multi-omic RB characterization and potential advancements in clinical diagnostics."
+466,skin cancer,39519202,Current Insights into the Role of UV Radiation-Induced Oxidative Stress in Melanoma Pathogenesis.,"Cutaneous melanoma accounts for the majority of skin cancer-related deaths, and its incidence increases each year. The growing number of melanoma cases, especially in advanced stages, poses a significant socio-medical challenge throughout the world. Extensive research on melanoma pathogenesis identifies UV radiation as the most important factor in melanocytic transformation. Oxidative effects of UV irradiation exert their influence on melanoma pathogenesis primarily through modification of nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids, further disrupting cellular signaling and cell cycle regulation. Its effects extend beyond melanocytes, leading to immunosuppression in the exposed skin tissue, which consequently creates conditions for immune surveillance evasion and further progression. In this review, we focus on the specific molecular changes observed in the UV-dependent oxidative stress environment and their biological consequences in the course of the disease, which have not been considered in previous reviews on melanoma. Nonetheless, data show that the exact role of oxidative stress in melanoma initiation and progression remains unclear, as it affects cancerous cells differently depending on the specific context. A better understanding of the pathophysiological basis of melanoma development holds promise for identifying potential targets, which could lead to effective melanoma prevention strategies."

PDLLA filler also increases M2 macrophages and IL-10. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation induces dermal hyperpigmentation by disrupting the basement membrane (BM), allowing melanin to move into the dermis. Therefore, using UV-irradiated macrophages and animal skin, we determined whether PDLLA filler decreased M1 macrophages and skin inflammation, thereby reducing BM destruction and dermal hyperpigmentation. UV radiation increased the M1 macrophage marker CD86 and TNF-α expression, which was inhibited by the treatment of macrophages with PDLLA. In fibroblasts treated with conditioned medium from UV-irradiated macrophages, NF-κB activity, NLRP3 inflammasome components (NLRP3, ASC, and pro-caspase-1), IL-18, MMP2, and MMP9 increased, but all decreased after PDLLA treatment. Similar to the in vitro study, UV-irradiated mouse skin showed increased CD86, NLRP3, ASC, pro-caspase-1, MMP2, and MMP9, which decreased after PDLLA injection. Disruption of the lamina densa of the BM and dermal pigmentation increased after UV irradiation and decreased after PDLLA injection. In conclusion, PDLLA reduced dermal pigmentation by decreasing BM destruction in UV-irradiated skin. PDLLA has the potential to reduce dermal pigmentation by regenerating the BM."
+469,skin cancer,39519055,Amelanotic Melanoma-Biochemical and Molecular Induction Pathways.,"Amelanotic melanoma (AM) is a subtype of hypomelanotic or completely amelanotic melanoma. AM is a rare subtype of melanoma that exhibits a higher recurrence rate and aggressiveness as well as worse surveillance than typical melanoma. AM shows a dysregulation of melanin production, cell cycle control, and apoptosis pathways. Knowing these pathways has an application in medicine due to targeted therapies based on the inhibiting elements of the abovementioned pathways. Therefore, we summarized and discussed AM biochemical and molecular induction pathways and personalized medicine approaches, clinical management, and future directions due to the fact that AM is relatively rare. AM is commonly misdiagnosed. Hence, the role of biomarkers is becoming significant. Nonetheless, there is a shortage of biomarkers specific to AM. BRAF, NRAS, and c-KIT genes are the main targets of therapy. However, the role of BRAF and KIT in AM varied among studies. BRAF inhibitors combined with MAK inhibitors demonstrate better results. Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting CTLA-4 combined with a programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) show better outcomes than separately. Fecal microbiota transplantation may overcome resistance to immune checkpoint therapy of AM. Immune-modulatory vaccines against indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and PD ligand (PD-L1) combined with nivolumab may be efficient in melanoma treatment."
+470,skin cancer,39519051,Combining Phototherapy and Gold-Based Nanomaterials: A Breakthrough in Basal Cell Carcinoma Treatment.,"Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin carcinoma worldwide. BCC development is the result of a complex interaction between environmental, phenotypic, and genetic factors. While conventional treatments such as surgery and topical therapies have demonstrated variable efficacy (some of them with limited efficacy), they are not free of adverse side effects, most of them debilitating. Thus, there is a notable gap in the literature regarding alternative and non-invasive therapeutic options. This review aims to address this gap, exploring the potential of photothermal therapy (PTT) combined with metallic nanoparticles, namely gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), as a minimally invasive treatment approach. Through a comprehensive review of the literature in the period from 2014 to 2024, using experimental investigations, this review seeks to elucidate the intricate interplay between genetic factors, environmental influences, and the tumor microenvironment in BCC disease progression, with PTT as a potential therapeutic strategy. Those studies confirmed an enhanced targeting of cancer cells and selective ablation of tumor tissue, using emerging technologies like PTT. A significant tumor reduction, often exceeding 50%, was observed, with some studies reporting complete elimination of the tumor. The main adverse effects noted were localized skin irritation and transient hyperpigmentation, but these were generally minimal and manageable, highlighting the promise of PTT as an effective treatment. Thus, by leveraging the unique properties of AuNPs to enhance the effectiveness of PTT, the targeting of cancer cells can more precisely occur, reducing collateral damage to healthy tissues. This approach not only aims to achieve better clinical results, but also contributes to the broader knowledge base in the field of BCC research. Continued research and clinical trials will be crucial in refining those techniques and validating their efficacy, ultimately paving the way for more effective and less invasive treatments for BCC."

The development and refining of more efficient non-invasive optical techniques such as diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) is crucial for the diagnosis of melanoma skin cancer. The development of novel diagnostic approaches requires a sufficient number of test samples. Hence, the similarities between banana brown spots (BBSs) and human skin pigmented lesions (HSPLs) could be exploited by employing the former as an optical phantom for validating these techniques. This work analyses the potential similarity of BBSs to HSPLs of volunteers with different skin phototypes by means of several characteristics, such as symmetry, color RGB tonality, and principal component analysis (PCA) of spectra. The findings demonstrate a notable resemblance between the attributes concerning spectrum, area, and color of HSPLs and BBSs at specific ripening stages. Furthermore, the spectral similarity is increased when a fiber-optic probe with a shorter distance (240 µm) between the source fiber and the detector fiber is utilized, in comparison to a probe with a greater distance (2500 µm) for this parameter. A Monte Carlo simulation of sampling volume was used to clarify spectral similarities."

This study dissects the intra-tumoral diversity of CAFs in basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma using molecular and spatial single-cell analysis. We identify three distinct CAF subtypes: myofibroblast-like RGS5+ CAFs, matrix CAFs (mCAFs), and immunomodulatory CAFs (iCAFs). Large-cohort tissue analysis reveals significant shifts in CAF subtype patterns with increasing malignancy. Two CAF subtypes exhibit immunomodulatory properties via different mechanisms. mCAFs sythesize extracellular matrix and may restrict T cell invasion in low-grade tumors via ensheathing tumor nests, while iCAFs are enriched in late-stage tumors, and express high levels of cytokines and chemokines to aid immune cell recruitment and activation. This is supported by the induction of an iCAF-like phenotype with immunomodulatory functions in primary healthy fibroblasts exposed to skin cancer cell secretomes. Thus, targeting CAF variants holds promise to enhance immunotherapy efficacy in skin cancers."

+492,skin cancer,39514829,Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Myopathy: The Double-Edged Sword of Cancer Immunotherapy.,"Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy has revolutionized the treatment of several malignancies, with improved survival. These monoclonal antibodies target immune checkpoints, including cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (ipilimumab and tremelimumab), programmed death 1 (nivolumab, pembrolizumab, cemiplimab, and dostarlimab), programmed death ligand 1 (atezolizumab, avelumab, and durvalumab), and lymphocyte activation gene 3 (relatlimab), and effectively augment the immune response against tumor cells. Releasing the brakes on the immune system has consequences, however, in the form of immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which may affect any organ. Neurologic irAEs represent 1%-3% of all irAEs, with immune-mediated myopathy (ICI myopathy) being the most common manifestation. Recent large patient series and systematic reviews have established the key features and highlighted new insights into ICI myopathy. ICI myopathy is characterized by an acute or subacute onset of oculobulbar and/or proximal limb weakness, with or without associated respiratory insufficiency and myocarditis. Creatine kinase elevation is common. Oculobulbar presentations with or without respiratory failure may be misattributed to neuromuscular junction disorders, particularly because acetylcholine receptor antibodies are present in up to 40% of patients; however, an electrodiagnostic evidence of a defect of neuromuscular transmission is often absent even in patients with severe weakness, highlighting that the myopathic process is the driving force behind these presentations. Muscle histopathology commonly demonstrates a unique signature of multifocal clusters of necrotic and regenerating fibers, differentiating ICI myopathy from other autoimmune myopathies. Transcriptomic analysis has uncovered distinct subgroups within ICI myopathy, revealing varying degrees of type 1 and type 2 interferon pathway activation alongside notable upregulation of the interleukin (IL)-6 pathway in affected muscle tissue. This discovery presents a promising avenue for intervention through the use of therapies that suppress the interferon pathway and target IL-6 or its receptor. Despite clinical improvements with immunomodulatory therapy, with corticosteroids the mainstay of treatment, mortality remains high, particularly in those with associated myocarditis or respiratory failure requiring intubation, where mortality occurs in up to 50%. ICI withdrawal can lead to cancer progression and death, highlighting a need for improved approaches to ICI rechallenge, performed in limited patients with variable success to date."
+493,skin cancer,39514706,Automated Standardization of Melanin Bleaching Procedures of Heavily Pigmented Melanocytic Lesions With Low-Concentration Hydrogen Peroxide on an Automated Platform.,"Melanin is a natural pigment in the human body that is primarily found in the skin and hair. It protects the skin from damage by ultraviolet radiation. Although this pigment plays a crucial role in protecting the human body, it represents a challenge for pathologists to evaluate highly pigmented tissue samples from melanoma or pigmented skin lesions. Abundant melanin may obscure tissue morphology, which makes it very difficult for pathologists to make a differential diagnosis. Melanin pigment is brown-to-black and granular, and its distribution is often uneven in tissues. The presence of these pigments can complicate the analysis of immunohistochemistry (IHC) for 2 reasons. First, they have a direct physical masking effect on antigen-antibody interactions. Second, 3,3-diaminobenzidine, the most commonly used chromogen, has a brown color that is difficult to distinguish from melanin pigment. Therefore, melanin bleaching has become a crucial step in handling pigmented melanocytic lesions. Bleaching techniques aid pathologists in histopathologic examination of melanin-rich tissue. In this study, we integrated melanin bleaching and IHC on an automated IHC platform to set up a rapid and fully automated procedure. Bleaching steps were performed before antigen retrieval. Samples were treated with 1% hydrogen peroxide solution in Tris-HCl buffer (pH 10) at 80°C for 8 minutes, achieving optimal conditions for melanin bleaching while preserving tissue morphology and antigenicity. This rapid, effective, fully automated, and standardized workflow can be applied to routine staining procedures in clinical laboratories, thereby improving the quality of pathological diagnosis."

+497,skin cancer,39513840,Liposomes and Their Therapeutic Applications in Enhancing Psoriasis and Breast Cancer Treatments.,"Psoriasis and breast cancer are two examples of diseases where associated inflammatory pathways within the body's immune system are implicated. Psoriasis is a complex, chronic and incurable inflammatory skin disorder that is primarily recognized by thick, scaly plaques on the skin. The most noticeable pathophysiological effect of psoriasis is the abnormal proliferation of keratinocytes. Breast cancer is currently the most diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death among women globally. While treatments targeting the primary tumor have significantly improved, preventing metastasis with systemic treatments is less effective. Nanocarriers such as liposomes and lipid nanoparticles have emerged as promising drug delivery systems for drug targeting and specificity. Advances in technologies and drug combinations have emerged to develop more efficient lipid nanocarriers to include more than one drug in combinational therapy to enhance treatment outcomes and/or relief symptoms for better patients' quality of life. Although there are FDA-approved liposomes with anti-cancer drugs for breast cancer, there are still unmet clinical needs to reduce the side effects associated with those nanomedicines. Hence, combinational nano-therapy may eliminate some of the issues and challenges. Furthermore, there are no nanomedicines yet clinically available for psoriasis. Hence, this review will focus on liposomes encapsulated single and/or combinational therapy to augment treatment outcomes with an emphasis on the effectiveness of combinational therapy within liposomal-based nanoparticulate drug delivery systems to tackle psoriasis and breast cancer. This review will also include an overview of both diseases, challenges in delivering drug therapy and the roles of nanomedicines as well as psoriasis and breast cancer models used for testing therapeutic interventions to pave the way for effective in vivo testing prior to the clinical trials."

To explore the immune microenvironment and potential drivers of MucM's relative resistance to ICI drugs, we characterized 101 MucM tumors (43 head and neck [H&N], 31 female urogenital, 13 male urogenital, 11 anorectal, and 3 other gastrointestinal) using bulk RNA-Seq and immunofluorescence. RNA-Seq data show that MucM has a significantly lower IFN-γ signature levels than CM. MucM tumors of the H&N region show a significantly greater abundance of CD8+ T cells, cytotoxic cells, and higher IFN-γ signature levels than MucM from lower body sites. In the subcohort of 35 patients with MucM treated with ICI, hierarchical clustering reveals clusters with a high and low degree of immune infiltration, with a differential ICI response rate. Immune-associated gene sets were enriched in responders. Signatures associated with cancer-associated fibroblasts, macrophages, and TGF-β signaling may be higher in immune-infiltrated, but ICI-unresponsive tumors, suggesting a role for these resistance mechanisms in MucM. Our data show organ region-specific differences in immune infiltration and IFN-γ signature levels in MucM, with H&N MucM displaying the most favorable immune profile. Our study might offer a starting point for developing more personalized treatment strategies for this disease."

+502,skin cancer,39512615,Case report: Lichenoid esophagitis revealing an HIV infection.,"Esophageal lichen planus is an underrecognized manifestation of lichen planus. It is typically diagnosed based on characteristic endoscopic findings, such as hyperkeratosis, trachealization, denudation and/or stenosis, along with the presence of a lichenoid infiltrate in histopathological examination. In cases where no other manifestation of lichen planus are found and direct immunofluorescence for fibrinogen along the basement membrane is negative, the term ""lichenoid esophagitis"" should be preferred. This distinction is critical, as it prompts a thorough evaluation for underlying diseases, including autoimmune conditions and viral infections. We report a case of a 69-year-old male with stenosing esophagitis resembling esophageal lichen planus on endoscopic evaluation. The condition was refractory to multiple dilation procedures and high-dose proton pump inhibitor therapy. Histopathological analysis revealed a dense lymphocytic infiltrate extending into the epithelial layer, while direct immunofluorescence microscopy for fibrinogen was negative. There were no other signs of lichen planus on the skin or mucous membranes. The patient's medical history included recurrent transient ischemic attack (non-cardiac), penile cancer and recurrent mucosal candidiasis. Laboratory findings revealed Epstein-Barr virus viremia and IgG hypergammaglobulinemia, raising suspicion of immunodeficiency. Further testing confirmed an active HIV infection, classified as category C3, and antiretroviral therapy was initiated. Following the initiation of antiretroviral therapy, the patient experienced rapid clinical and histopathological improvement of the lichenoid esophageal inflammation, although the esophageal stenosis persisted. Subsequent follow-up endoscopies confirmed resolution of the inflammatory component, underscoring the positive impact of addressing the underlying HIV infection on the esophagus. This case report highlights the importance of recognizing lichenoid esophagitis as a potential diagnosis in cases of unexplained chronic esophagitis, especially when standard treatments are ineffective. The presence of lichenoid inflammation without other manifestations of lichen planus should trigger an investigation into underlying conditions."

This aspect applies not only to drugs applied topically to the skin, but also systemically. Drug-induced photosensitivity reactions to light depend on the active substance contained in the medicinal product and its dose, which translates into the concentration in the skin, the type of ultraviolet radiation, its intensity and exposure time. The chemical structure of phototoxic drugs contains unsaturated chemical bonds and aromatic groups, which are responsible for the absorption of radiation, the formation of degradation products and/or free radicals and hypersensitivity reactions. Therefore, in order to prevent hypersensitivity reactions, it is necessary to use appropriate sun protection and/or avoid exposure to solar radiation during pharmacotherapy with selected groups of drugs. The paper presents the latest research results on the impact of drug-induced photohypersensitivity on the increased likelihood of skin cancer. Drugs with the potential to induce photohypersensitivity reactions are discussed, including information on the relationship between their long-term use and the incidence of skin cancer.

In this study, we aimed to decipher the role of 14-3-3ε in the development of the epidermis. We report that loss of 14-3-3ε in the epidermis of juvenile and adult mice reduces cell division in the basal layer and increases the percentage of cells with multiple centrosomes, leading to a reduction in the thickness of the basal and stratified layers. We also demonstrate a decrease in the expression of differentiation markers, although no gross morphological defects in the skin or adverse effects on the survival of the mice were observed. These results suggest that loss of 14-3-3ε in the epidermis may lead to defects in proliferation and differentiation."

However, the lack of suitable models to investigate its functions in the skin has led to IKKα being mistakenly considered as a suppressor of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) development. In this study, using our previously generated transgenic mouse models expressing exogenous IKKα in the cytoplasm (C-IKKα mice) or in the nucleus (N-IKKα mice) of basal keratinocytes, we demonstrate that at each subcellular localization, IKKα differently regulates signaling pathways important for maintaining the balance between keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation, and for the cutaneous inflammatory response. In addition, each type of IKKα-transgenic mice shows different predisposition to the development of spontaneous NMSC. Specifically, N-IKKα mice display an atrophic epidermis with exacerbated terminal differentiation, signs of premature skin aging, premalignant lesions, and develop squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). Conversely, C-IKKα mice, whose keratinocytes are nearly devoid of endogenous nuclear IKKα, do not develop skin SCCs, although they exhibit hyperplastic skin with deficiencies in terminal epidermal differentiation, chronic cutaneous inflammation, and constitutive activation of STAT-3 and NF-κB signaling pathways. Altogether, our data demonstrate that alterations in the localization of IKKα in the nucleus or cytoplasm of keratinocytes cause opposite skin changes and differentially predispose to the growth of skin SCCs."

The vaginal microbiome has a critical role in gynecologic health, but little is known about the microbiome in lichen sclerosus. This study investigated the vaginal and vulvar microbiomes of 27 post-menopausal women with lichen sclerosus. The most abundant genera detected in the vaginal microbiome were Lactobacillus, Gardnerella, and Anaerococcus, while Lactobacillus, Anaerococcus, and Staphylococcus were the most abundant in the vulvar microbiome. The vaginal samples clustered into two main groups, Lactobacillus dominant (n = 6, > 50% microbiome Lactobacillus) and polymicrobial (n = 21) with no dominant genus. The vulvar samples were mainly polymicrobial (n = 25). Actinomyces, Anaerococcus, and Ezakiella in the vaginal microbiome and Actinomyces and Ezakiella in the vulvar microbiome were significantly associated with lichen sclerosus symptoms (adjusted p < 0.05). In this population of post-menopausal women with lichen sclerosus the majority have diverse, non-Lactobacillus dominant microbiomes, which is considered less optimal for gynecologic health based on studies of pre-menopausal women. Actinomyces, Ezakiella, and Anaerococcus were associated with lichen sclerosus symptoms.

The goal of this study was to reveal the mechanism(s) of α-syn's involvement in melanoma pathogenesis. To decipher the genes and pathways affected by α-syn, we conducted an RNA sequencing analysis of human SK-MEL-28 cells and several SK-MEL-28 SNCA-KO clones. We identified 1098 significantly up-regulated genes and 660 significantly down-regulated genes. Several of the upregulated genes are related to the immune system, i.e., the inflammatory response and the matrisome. We validated five upregulated genes (IL-1β, SAA1, IGFBP5, CXCL8, and CXCL10) by RT-qPCR and detected IGFBP5 and IL-1β in spent media of control and SNCA-KO cells. The levels of each of these secreted proteins were significantly higher in the spent media of the SNCA-KO clones than control cells. These secreted proteins quite likely activate the immune response against SNCA-KO cells. We suggest that, conversely, high levels of α-syn expression in melanoma cells helps the cells evade the immune system by inhibiting the secretion of these immune activating factors."

Thanks to international cooperative groups, treatment of mycosis fungoides, CD30+ lymphoproliferations and erythrodermic lymphomas is now well established which is not the case for the other entities. Treatments may be classified in five categories: skin directed therapies, systemic non-chemotherapeutic treatments, immunomodulators, targeted immunotherapies and chemotherapies."

+517,skin cancer,39509640,[Thyroid cancer in a child with Cowden syndrome].,"Cowden disease (Cowden syndrome) refers to PTEN-associated hamartoma tumor syndromes. It arises due to a mutation in the phosphatase and tensin homolog gene, one of the main functions of which is cell cycle regulation. The presence of a mutation in the gene leads to uncontrolled cell growth, and patients have a lifelong increased risk of neoplasms of various degrees of malignancy. This article presents a clinical case of Cowden syndrome with an early debut at the age of 7 years. The combination of macrocephaly (SDS of head circumference &gt;2) with various skin manifestations (facial trichilemmomas, acral keratosis, papillomatous papules) and the presence of benign and/or malignant neoplasms are pathognomonic for Cowden syndrome. Of the malignancies, breast and thyroid cancer, colorectal cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and endometrial cancer are the most common. Thyroid carcinoma has been shown to have an earlier age of manifestation and often occurs already in childhood. This determines the need to screen patients with a proven mutation in the PTEN gene for nodal neoplasms from an early age. If surgical treatment is necessary, thyroidectomy remains preferable due to the frequent recurrence of nodules, as well as the uncertain potential for malignancy due to the low study of thyroid nodules in patients with mutations in the PTEN gene."

The authors review the pathophysiology of the most common types of skin cancer, as well as cutaneous lymphoma, and the available treatment modalities and algorithms. Emphasis is placed on pretreatment evaluation and posttreatment surveillance. In the pretreatment setting, a checklist of key radiologic features that are important in the staging of dermatologic disease is discussed, namely superficial and dermal lymphatic spread, perineural tumor invasion and spread, osseous invasion, and metastatic nodal disease. In the setting of high-risk or metastatic disease, a contrast-enhanced CT scan of the neck or a PET/CT scan is typically obtained approximately 12 weeks after treatment; imaging may be used first to detect residual or recurrent disease, metastatic nodal disease, or unexpected complications such as osteoradionecrosis. The authors highlight the radiologist's role in the care of patients with dermatologic disease, which can be more than skin deep. "

Recently, microplastic pollution has raised the attention of the worldwide environmental and human concerns. In human beings, digestive system illness, respiratory system disorders, sleep disturbances, obesity, diabetes, and even cancer have been reported after microplastic exposure either through food, air, or skin. Similarly, microplastics are also having negative impacts on the plant health, soil microorganisms, aquatic lives, and other animals. Policies and initiatives have already been in the pipeline to address this problem to deal with microplastic pollution. However, many obstacles are also being observed such as lack of knowledge, lack of research, and also absence of regulatory frameworks. This article has covered the distribution of microplastics in water, soil, food and air. Application of multimodel strategies including fewer plastic item consumption, developing low-cost novel technologies using microorganisms, biofilm, and genetic modified microorganisms has been used to reduce microplastics from the environment. Researchers, academician, policy-makers, and environmentalists should work jointly to cope up with microplastic contamination and their effect on the ecosystem as a whole which can be reduced in the coming years and also to make earth clean."

The association was retrospectively analysed between BRAF V600 mutation level (defined as the ratio of the quantification of the BRAF V600 allele to the percentage of tumoral cells in the sample analysed) and progression-free and overall survival (PFS and OS, respectively) and 3-month response rate in a cohort of 58 patients with metastatic melanoma who harboured BRAF V600E/K mutations and received dual targeted-therapy BRAF/MEK inhibitors. The BRAF mutation level cut-off determined by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve after internal validation by bootstrap methods was 0.44. Risk of poor PFS and OS was associated with BRAF V600 mutation level > 0.44 on multivariate analysis (p = 0.02 and p = 0.02, respectively) after adjusting for major confounding factors (age, sex, lactate dehydrogenase level, brain metastasis, and treatment line). No association was found between BRAF mutation level and 3-month response rate. Our study shows that high BRAF V600 mutation level in melanoma tissue was associated with poor prognosis in patients with metastatic melanoma treated with BRAF and MEK inhibitors."

+535,skin cancer,39506231,Assessing and managing lower limb oedema: a clinical review.,"Lower limb oedema is a common condition in clinical practice, frequently affecting the distal lower limbs. Whereas benign causes such as prolonged sitting or standing are typical, oedema can also indicate serious systemic diseases such as cardiac failure, liver disease, or renal impairment. Identifying the cause is crucial to prevent irreversible skin and tissue changes. This clinical review aims to increase the knowledge of advanced clinical practitioners (ACPs) and generalist practitioners, including practice and community nurses, by providing an overview of how to approach patients with lower limb oedema, encompassing history-taking, examinations, investigations, and management plans. The main focus is on lymphoedema, which can be primary or secondary. Primary lymphoedema results from genetic abnormalities, while secondary lymphoedema arises from acquired defects due to factors such as obesity, infections, neoplasms, and trauma. Effective management includes addressing the underlying cause, ensuring proper skin care, recommending appropriate exercises, and the use of compression garments. Referral to a lymphoedema specialist is recommended for patient education on managing and treating the condition when required. Additionally, the article discusses the importance of regular skin inspections, minor injury management, environmental considerations, and the critical role of compression garments in lymphoedema management. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance patient outcomes and provide a thorough strategy for ACPs and generalist practitioners."

+537,skin cancer,39508209,Mixture Cure Semiparametric Accelerated Failure Time Models With Partly Interval-Censored Data.,"In practical survival analysis, the situation of no event for a patient can arise even after a long period of waiting time, which means a portion of the population may never experience the event of interest. Under this circumstance, one remedy is to adopt a mixture cure Cox model to analyze the survival data. However, if there clearly exhibits an acceleration (or deceleration) factor among their survival times, then an accelerated failure time (AFT) model will be preferred, leading to a mixture cure AFT model. In this paper, we consider a penalized likelihood method to estimate the mixture cure semiparametric AFT models, where the unknown baseline hazard is approximated using Gaussian basis functions. We allow partly interval-censored survival data which can include event times and left-, right-, and interval-censoring times. The penalty function helps to achieve a smooth estimate of the baseline hazard function. We will also provide asymptotic properties to the estimates so that inferences can be made on regression parameters and hazard-related quantities. Simulation studies are conducted to evaluate the model performance, which includes a comparative study with an existing method from the smcure R package. The results show that our proposed penalized likelihood method has acceptable performance in general and produces less bias when faced with the identifiability issue compared to smcure. To illustrate the application of our method, a real case study involving melanoma recurrence is conducted and reported. Our model is implemented in our R package aftQnp which is available from https://github.com/Isabellee4555/aftQnP."
+538,skin cancer,39505992,Enhanced convolutional neural network architecture optimized by improved chameleon swarm algorithm for melanoma detection using dermatological images.,"Early detection and treatment of skin cancer are important for patient recovery and survival. Dermoscopy images can help clinicians for timely identification of cancer, but manual diagnosis is time-consuming, costly, and prone to human error. To conduct this, an innovative deep learning-based approach has been proposed for automatic melanoma detection. The proposed method involves preprocessing dermoscopy images to remove artifacts, enhance contrast, and cancel noise, followed by feeding them into an optimized Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The CNN is trained using an innovative metaheuristic called the Improved Chameleon Swarm Algorithm (CSA) to optimize its performance. The approach has been validated using the SIIM-ISIC Melanoma dataset and the results have been confirmed through rigorous evaluation metrics. Simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method in accurately diagnosing melanoma from dermoscopy images by highlighting its potential as a valuable tool for clinicians in early cancer detection."

Here, we describe the occurrence of multifocal cutaneous neoplastic processes consistent with hemangioma and hemangioendothelioma, with a differential diagnosis of angiomatosis, in a colony of native Brazilian rainbow boas (Epicrates cenchria) which also included animals affected by boid inclusion body disease (BIBD). Thirteen snakes were affected; seven of these had been introduced from other Brazilian sites years earlier, the others had been bred in house but were not offspring of knowingly affected animals. The breeding regime allowed contact between all female and male animals over the years. The cutaneous lesions were first observed over eight years ago, with additional cases detected during the three following years, but no new cases in the last five years. Two affected animals were subjected to a post mortem examination and were found to suffer from peliosis hepatis as one of the additional pathological changes. BIBD was confirmed in five of the eight examined animals, by histology, immunohistology for reptarenavirus nucleoprotein, and multiplex RT-PCR targeting the reptarenavirus S segment. Reptarenavirus infection was also detected in cells in the cutaneous neoplastic processes. PCRs for Bartonella henselae and B. quintana as well as bacterial DNA in general, performed on a pool of six skin lesions, yielded negative results, ruling out ongoing bacterial infection, like bacillary angiomatosis in humans, of the lesions. The results hint towards an association of reptarenavirus infection and BIBD with neoplastic processes which is worth further investigations."
+543,skin cancer,39503921,Automated acute skin toxicity scoring in a mouse model through deep learning.,"This study presents a novel approach to skin toxicity assessment in preclinical radiotherapy trials through an advanced imaging setup and deep learning. Skin reactions, commonly associated with undesirable side effects in radiotherapy, were meticulously evaluated in 160 mice across four studies. A comprehensive dataset containing 7542 images was derived from proton/electron trials with matched manual scoring of the acute toxicity on the right hind leg, which was the target area irradiated in the trials. This dataset was the foundation for the subsequent model training. The two-step deep learning framework incorporated an object detection model for hind leg detection and a classification model for toxicity classification. An observer study involving five experts and the deep learning model, was conducted to analyze the retrospective capabilities and inter-observer variations. The results revealed that the hind leg object detection model exhibited a robust performance, achieving an accuracy of almost 99%. Subsequently, the classification model demonstrated an overall accuracy of about 85%, revealing nuanced challenges in specific toxicity grades. The observer study highlighted high inter-observer agreement and showcased the model's superiority in accuracy and misclassification distance. In conclusion, this study signifies an advancement in objective and reproducible skin toxicity assessment. The imaging and deep learning system not only allows for retrospective toxicity scoring, but also presents a potential for minimizing inter-observer variation and evaluation times, addressing critical gaps in manual scoring methodologies. Future recommendations include refining the system through an expanded training dataset, paving the way for its deployment in preclinical research and radiotherapy trials."
+544,skin cancer,39503893,An outcome-defining role for the triple-helical domain in regulating collagen-I assembly.,"Collagens are the foundational component of diverse tissues, including skin, bone, cartilage, and basement membranes, and are the most abundant protein class in animals. The fibrillar collagens are large, complex, multidomain proteins, all containing the characteristic triple helix motif. The most prevalent collagens are heterotrimeric, meaning that cells express at least two distinctive procollagen polypeptides that must assemble into specific heterotrimer compositions. The molecular mechanisms ensuring correct heterotrimeric assemblies are poorly understood - even for the most common collagen, type-I. The longstanding paradigm is that assembly is controlled entirely by the ~30 kDa globular C-propeptide (C-Pro) domain. Still, this dominating model for procollagen assembly has left many questions unanswered. Here, we show that the C-Pro paradigm is incomplete. In addition to the critical role of the C-Pro domain in templating assembly, we find that the amino acid sequence near the C terminus of procollagen's triple-helical domain plays an essential role in defining procollagen assembly outcomes. These sequences near the C terminus of the triple-helical domain encode conformationally stabilizing features that ensure only desirable C-Pro-mediated trimeric templates are committed to irreversible triple-helix folding. Incorrect C-Pro trimer assemblies avoid commitment to triple-helix formation thanks to destabilizing features in the amino acid sequences of their triple helix. Incorrect C-Pro assemblies are consequently able to dissociate and search for new binding partners. These findings provide a distinctive perspective on the mechanism of procollagen assembly, revealing the molecular basis by which incorrect homotrimer assemblies are avoided and setting the stage for a deeper understanding of the biogenesis of this ubiquitous protein."

New treatments are needed because the currently used drug, ivermectin, is contraindicated in pregnant women and those co-infected with Loa loa. The Seattle Structural Genomics Center for Infectious Disease (SSGCID) produced, crystallized and determined the apo structure of N-terminally hexahistidine-tagged O. volvulus macrophage migration inhibitory factor-1 (His-OvMIF-1). OvMIF-1 is a possible drug target. His-OvMIF-1 has a unique jellyfish-like structure with a prototypical macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) trimer as the `head' and a unique C-terminal `tail'. Deleting the N-terminal tag reveals an OvMIF-1 structure with a larger cavity than that observed in human MIF that can be targeted for drug repurposing and discovery. Removal of the tag will be necessary to determine the actual biological oligomer of OvMIF-1 because size-exclusion chomatographic analysis of His-OvMIF-1 suggests a monomer, while PISA analysis suggests a hexamer stabilized by the unique C-terminal tails."

Dab2 is deregulated in various cancers; however, its role in skin squamous cell carcinoma ( SCC) has not been elucidated yet. In the present study, we used the DMBA/TPA induced murine skin carcinogenesis model to examine the role of Dab2 in skin tumour progression. We generated tamoxifen inducible Dab2 conditional knockout system for our study. Loss of Dab2 led to delayed papilloma initiation and reduced papilloma burden. Delayed papilloma initiation was due to reduce proliferative potential of the papillomas due to Dab2 loss. Furthermore, while the WT papillomas progressed to SCC, the papillomas formed in Dab2 cKO mice failed to undergo malignant conversion to SCC. Dab2 cKO tumours showed reduced expression of K8, a marker for aggressive tumour. Moreover, Dab2 ckO tumours failed to undergo EMT as shown by reduced expression of Vimentin and Twist1. Dab2 cKO tumours also showed reduced expression of Sox2, a stem cell marker. Furthermore, qPCR analysis showed upregulation of Dab2 expression in the human skin cancer cell lines as compared to normal human skin keratinocytes. In patients, TCGA data analysis of skin cancer melanoma (SKCM) showed a trend where high levels of Dab2 correlated with poor overall survival. The present study shows that Dab2 promotes tumour progression in skin SCC."

To address this issue, transdermal drug delivery microneedles (MNs) with high mechanical strength have emerged. Such MNs penetrate the skin barrier, enabling efficient drug delivery to tumor tissues. This approach enhances drug bioavailability, while also mitigating concerns such as liver and kidney toxicity associated with intravenous and oral drug administration. Notably, stimulus responsive MNs designed for drug delivery have the capacity to respond to various biological signals and pathological changes. This adaptability enables them to exert therapeutic effects within the TME, exploiting biochemical variations and tailoring treatment strategies to suit tumor characteristics.

Pre-clinical research is increasingly using three-dimensional models that better recapitulate the tumour microenvironment (TME). One aspect of the TME is the acellular extracellular matrix (ECM) that influences cell proliferation, migration and response to therapy. Although commercial matrices are used in culture, the composition and biochemical properties may not be representative of the tumour ECM in vivo. This study identifies UM metastatic risk specific ECM proteins by developing methodology for decellularisation of low- and high- metastatic risk tissue samples (LR-D3 vs. HR-M3). Proteomic analysis revealed a matrisome signature of 34 core ECM and ECM-associated proteins upregulated in HR-M3 UM. Combining additional UM secretome and whole cell iTRAQ proteomic datasets revealed enriched GO and KEGG pathways including 'regulating ECM binding' and 'PI3K/Akt signalling'. Structural analyses of decellularised matrices revealed microarchitecture of differing fibre density and expression differences in collagen 4, collagen 6A1 and nidogen 1, between metastatic risk groups. This approach is a powerful tool for the generation of ECM matrices relevant to high metastatic risk UM."

It is usually wrapped around the body and secured over an ankle-length skirt (a petticoat). The petticoat is usually tied very tightly around the waist with a cord. The tight cord of the petticoat often leads to dermatoses related to chronic friction and maceration, resulting in dermatitis and depigmentation. In rare cases, chronic friction may lead to the development of squamous cell carcinoma. In the literature, these skin lesions, including malignant transformation, have been described as 'saree cancers', but it is the tightness of the cord tied around the waist that results in chronic inflammation that may result in malignant transformation. We report two cases of squamous cell carcinoma in women associated with tight petticoat cord ties-'petticoat' cancer."

In contrast to other forms of OSCC, where the relationship between HPV and the cancer is less obvious, HPV-HNSCC is a particular type of oropharyngeal cancer. HPV has infected a stratified squamous epithelium, which includes the throat, mouth, anogenital tract, respiratory tract, and skin on the hands and feet. HPV DNA was found in high amounts in the saliva and gargle samples of patients with HPV-related HNSCC. It has been discovered that the specificity of oral mRNA (HPV) and HPV DNA identification varies from 23 % to 82 % in the identification of OPSCCs. The higher rate of HPV transmission through vaginal-oral compared to penile-oral sexual activity may be the reason for the difference in HPV-positive HNSCC patients between males and females. The researchers postulate that HPV-inactive tumours signify an advanced stage of HPV-positive HNSCC, which explains why there are racial disparities in gene expression that correspond to different disease progressions in Black and White patients. The increase of CD8+ T cells in the cancer microenvironment, linked to P16 activation, extends life expectancy in OSCC. tumour markers methylation caused by HPV and suggested using them as possible HNC biomarkers. Fusobacterium levels are much higher in patients with OSCC, while Actinobacteria phylum and Firmicutes are significantly lower.

Therefore, based on this we evidence, we could investigate the role of oral microbiota as a maker for the HPV associated HNSCC."

The plasticity and phenotypic adaptability of melanoma cells are crucial factors contributing to therapeutic resistance. The identification of molecules playing key roles in melanoma cell plasticity could unravel novel and more effective therapeutic targets. This review presents current concepts of melanoma cell plasticity, illustrating its fluidity and dismissing the outdated notion of epithelial-mesenchymal-like transition as a simplistic binary process. Emphasis is placed on the pivotal role of lncRNAs in orchestrating cell plasticity, employing various mechanisms recently elucidated and unveiling their potential as promising targets for novel therapeutic strategies. Insights into the molecular mechanisms coordinated by lncRNAs in melanoma pave the way for the development of RNA-based therapies, holding great promise for enhancing treatment outcomes and offering a glimpse into a more effective approach to melanoma treatment."

We report a tissue sampling approach with molecular biopsy using electroporation. This method, coined electroporation-based biopsy (e-biopsy), enables nondestructive nonthermal permeabilization of cells in the skin for vacuum-assisted extraction of biomolecules. We used e-biopsy for ex vivo proteome extraction from 3 locations per patient in 21 cSCC, 20 BCC, and 7 actinic keratosis human skin samples. Using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry, we identified 5966 proteins observed with nonzero intensity in at least 1 sample. The intrapatient Pearson correlation of 0.888 ± 0.065 for patients with BCC, 0.858 ± 0.077 for patients with cSCC, and 0.876 ± 0.116 for those with solar actinic keratosis indicates high consistency of the e-biopsy sampling.

This review summarizes the available epidemiological evidence on the significance of occupational risk factors and occupations associated with a higher risk in skin cancer. The results of this review suggest that there is sufficient epidemiological evidence to support the relationship between the increased risk of non-melanoma skin cancers and occupational exposure to solar radiation, ultraviolet radiation, ionizing radiation, arsenic and its compounds, and mineral oils. Occupational exposure to pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls appears to provide sufficient epidemiological evidence for melanoma, and a higher risk of melanoma has been reported among workers in petroleum refining and firefighters. This comprehensive analysis will establish a foundation for subsequent investigations and developing targeted interventions of focused preventive measures against skin cancer among the working population."

However, the detailed molecular mechanisms of its action still need to be clarified. In this study, chrysoeriol showed significant suppressive effects on melanoma progression in a mouse model. The integrative gut microbiota and metabolomic analyses revealed that chrysoeriol modulates multiple pathways associated with apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis. Morphological changes in chrysoeriol-treated melanoma cells showed PANoptosis- and ferroptosis-related characteristics. Additionally, chrysoeriol induced apoptosis, altered mitochondrial membrane potential, increased ROS production, promoted necroptosis, and also upregulated molecules linked to pyroptosis and ferroptosis. Molecular-level experiments confirmed that chrysoeriol promoted the upregulation of crucial proteins associated with the PANoptosis and ferroptosis pathways. Inhibition of PANoptosis and ferroptosis pathways by inhibitors or gene knockdown significantly attenuated the inhibitory effects of chrysoeriol on melanoma cell viability. This study provides robust evidence that chrysoeriol triggers both PANoptosis and ferroptosis in melanoma cells, underscoring its promise as a treatment option for melanoma."

+582,skin cancer,39496130,New Formulations of Acyclothymidine Dinucleosides Reduce Damaging Effects of Ultraviolet Radiation in an Ex Vivo Skin Model.,"The greatest risk factor for skin cancer is exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun. Among the three types of solar radiation (UVA, UVB, UVC), UVB rays are most commonly associated with skin cancer. UVB exposure promotes the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) in the DNA of cells in the epidermal skin layers, which can lead to mutations as DNA repair machinery attempts to repair the damage. These mutations can lead directly to skin carcinogenesis. Previous studies in animal and in human ex vivo skin models have shown that topical application of acyclothymidine dinucleosides protects DNA from UV-induced damage by preventing the formation of CPDs and helps initiate repair through the activation of DNA repair enzymes. Here we review the biological evidence leading to the development and formulation of ProteXidineTM (Topix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Amityville, NY), as a UV protective agent for topical human application. We also provide clinical data pertaining to four ProteXidineTM formulations (test materials 1-4) tested for their abilities to reduce CPDs in an ex vivo human skin tissue model.

Lnc nuclear enriched autosomal transcript 1 (NEAT1) was reportedly upregulated in melanoma; however, the functional roles and mechanisms of Lnc NEAT1 need further investigation. Therefore, we used quantitative real-time PCR to determine the mRNA levels of Lnc NEAT1, miR-152-3p, and cyclin-dependent protein kinase 6 (CDK6). The protein level of CDK6 was determined by Western blot. Cell counting kit 8 and colony formation assays were used to assess cell proliferation. Cell migration was measured by wound healing and Transwell assays. Direct binding of the indicated molecules was verified by an RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation assay and a dual luciferase reporter assay. The results revealed that Lnc NEAT1 and CDK6 were elevated, while miR-152-3p was downregulated in melanoma. Furthermore, Lnc NEAT1 was positively correlated with CDK6 expression and negatively correlated with miR-152-3p level. Furthermore, Lnc NEAT1 facilitated proliferation, migration, and invasion of melanoma cells. The underlying mechanism is that Lnc NEAT1 serves as a sponge for miR-152-3p to suppress the inhibitory effect of miR-152-3p on CDK6. Furthermore, the miR-152-3p/ CDK6 axis was implicated in the progression of melanoma accelerated by Lnc NEAT1. Taken together, Lnc NEAT1 may promote melanoma development by serving as an endogenous sponge of miR-152-3p, increasing CDK6 expression, and identifying a new target for the treatment of melanoma."

+590,skin cancer,39495314,American Society for Microbiology evidence-based laboratory medicine practice guidelines to reduce blood culture contamination rates: a systematic review and meta-analysis.,"SUMMARYBlood cultures (BCs) are one of the critical tests used to detect bloodstream infections. BC results are not 100% specific. Interpretation of BC results is often complicated by detecting microbial contamination rather than true infection. False positives due to blood culture contamination (BCC) vary from 1% to as high as >10% of all BC results. False-positive BC results may result in patients undergoing unnecessary antimicrobial treatments, increased healthcare costs, and delay in detecting the true cause of infection or other non-infectious illness. Previous guidelines from the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, College of American Pathologists, and others, based on expert opinion and surveys, promoted a limit of ≤3% as acceptable for BCC rates. However, the data supporting such recommendations are controversial. A previous systematic review of BCC examined three practices for reducing BCC rates (venipuncture, phlebotomy teams, and pre-packaged kits). Subsequently, numerous studies on different practices including using diversion devices, disinfectants, and education/training to lower BCC have been published. The goal of the current guideline is to identify beneficial intervention strategies to reduce BCC rates, including devices, practices, and education/training by providers in collaboration with the laboratory. We performed a systematic review of the literature between 2017 and 2022 using numerous databases. Of the 11,319 unique records identified, 311 articles were sought for full-text review, of which 177 were reviewed; 126 of the full-text articles were excluded based on pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were extracted from a total of 49 articles included in the final analysis. An evidenced-based committee's expert panel reviewed all the references as mentioned in Data Collection and determined if the articles met the inclusion criteria. Data from extractions were captured within an extraction template in the US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's Systematic Review Data Repository (https://srdr.ahrq.gov/). BCC rates were captured as the number of events (contaminated samples) per arm (standard practice versus improvement practice). Modified versions of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Study Quality Assessment Tools were used for risk of bias assessment (https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health-topics/study-quality-assessment-tools). We used Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations to assess strength of evidence. There are several interventions that resulted in significant reduction in BCC rates: chlorhexidine as a disinfectant for skin preparation, using a diversion device prior to drawing BCs, using sterile technique practices, using a phlebotomy team to obtain BCs, and education/training programs. While there were no substantial differences between methods of decreasing BCC, our results indicate that the method of implementation can determine the success or failure of the intervention. Our evidence-based systematic review and meta-analysis support several interventions to effectively reduce BCC by approximately 40%-60%. However, devices alone without an education/training component and buy-in from key stakeholders to implement various interventions would not be as effective in reducing BCC rates."

Descriptive and trend analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics software, version 29 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY).  Results The analysis of melanoma trends from 1999 to 2021 reveals a significant increase in the annual age-adjusted incidence rate, rising from 15.1 per 100,000 (95% CI: 14.9- 15.2) in 1999 to 23.0 per 100,000 (95% CI: 22.8- 23.1) in 2021. This upward trend is consistent across gender and racial/ethnic groups. The prevalence of melanoma over a 20-year period was 0.279 (95% CI: 0.276-0.282), with males showing a higher prevalence (0.302, 95% CI: 0.298-0.306) compared to females (0.256, 95% CI: 0.252-0.260). The distribution of melanoma stage at diagnosis indicated that 77% of cases were localized (95% CI: 76.5-77.5%), 9.5% regional (95% CI: 9.2-9.8%), 4.7% distant (95% CI: 4.4-5.0%), and 8.8% unstaged (95% CI: 8.5-9.1%). Survival analysis showed a five-year relative survival rate of 99.4% (95% CI: 99.2-99.6%) for localized melanoma and 35.6% (95% CI: 33.7-37.6%) for distant melanoma, highlighting significant disparities in survival based on stage at diagnosis. Conclusions The study highlights a rising incidence of melanoma and emphasizes the critical role of early detection in improving survival outcomes. The findings underscore the effectiveness of early diagnosis and the necessity for ongoing efforts to improve melanoma outcomes across diverse populations."

This tumor usually presents in areas rich in sebaceous glands, such as the face, scalp, or trunk. The periocular tissues are an exceptionally uncommon site for sebaceoma, making sebaceoma of the eyelid an extremely rare entity. To our knowledge, only five cases of sebaceoma of the eyelid have been reported, with only one of these five originating in a Meibomian gland. Due to its rarity and the wide spectrum of skin lesions, sebaceoma is considered a diagnostically challenging lesion. When the diagnosis is uncertain, a biopsy followed by histopathological analysis should be performed to carefully differentiate sebaceoma from other eyelid tumors. Histopathologically, sebaceoma displays a wide range of patterns, from those seen in sebaceous adenoma to features that can be difficult to distinguish from sebaceous gland carcinoma. We report the case of a 64-year-old Caucasian male presenting with sebaceoma of a Meibomian gland of the left lower eyelid margin. The diagnosis of sebaceoma was made based on a routine histopathological examination."

Born in 1910, Mohs devised this innovative procedure while still a medical student, seeking a more effective method for removing skin cancers with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The technique, which involves the precise removal of cancerous tissue, layer by layer, while examining each under a microscope, allows for the highest possible cure rates and the preservation of as much healthy tissue as possible. Mohs' method has since become the gold standard in dermatologic surgery for certain types of skin cancer, significantly improving patient outcomes. His contributions have had a lasting impact on both the medical field and the lives of countless patients."

+604,skin cancer,39491760,The epidermal integrin-mediated secretome regulates the skin microenvironment during tumorigenesis and repair.,"Integrins are cellular transmembrane receptors that physically connect the cytoskeleton with the extracellular matrix. As such, they are positioned to mediate cellular responses to microenvironmental cues. Importantly, integrins also regulate their own microenvironment through secreted factors, also known as the integrin-mediated secretome. Epidermal integrins, or integrins expressed by keratinocytes of the skin epidermis, regulate the cutaneous microenvironment through the contribution of matrix components, via proteolytic matrix remodeling, or by mediating factors like cytokines and growth factors that can promote support for nearby but distinct cells of the stroma, such as immune cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. This role for integrins is enhanced during both pathological and repair tissue remodeling processes, such as tumor growth and progression and wound healing. This review will discuss examples of how the epithelial integrin-mediated secretome can regulate the tissue microenvironment. Although different epithelial integrins in various contexts will be explored, emphasis will be given to epidermal integrins that regulate the secretome during wound healing and cutaneous tumor progression. Epidermal integrin α3β1 is of particular focus as well, since this integrin has been revealed as a key regulator of the keratinocyte secretome."

Current perspectives and challenges for cell-based therapies.,"Cancers are part of the group of diseases that carry a high mortality rate. According to World Health Organization in 2020 reported 10 million deaths due to cancers. Treatment of oncological patients is focused on chemotherapeutic agents, radiology, or immunology. Surgical interventions are also an important aspect of treatment. The above methods contribute to saving the patients' health and lives. However, cancer treatment possesses side effects. Commonly observed complications are hair loss, mucositis, nausea, diarrhea, or various skin damage. To improve the quality of medical care for cancer patients, new methods of reducing side effects are sought. Strategies include the use of stem cells (SCs). Due to unlimited proliferation potential and differentiating abilities, SCs are used in the treatment of many disease entities, including wounds. One of the most used types of stem cells supposed adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (AD-MSCs). Clinical trials confirm the application of AD-MSCs in wound healing. Furthermore, in vivo studies considered the utilization of AD-MSCs in radiation injury. The use of stem cells in cancer treatment still involves many questions, such as the impact of treatment on SCs' condition and oncological safety. However, development in regenerative medicine research may contribute to the use of stem cells in personalized medicine, customized for the patient. This could represent a breakthrough step in preventing the side effects of cancer therapies, including chronic wounds."

Thus, this work explores the synergy between two biobased nanofibers, nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and lysozyme amyloid nanofibrils (LNFs), to create pectin nanocomposite hydrogel bioinks for the 3D bioprinting of A375 melanoma cell-laden living constructs. The incorporation of LNFs (5, 10 or 15 wt%) on a pectin-NFC suspension originates inks with enhanced rheological properties (shear viscosity and yield point) and proper shear-thinning behavior. The crosslinked hydrogels mimic the stiffness of melanoma tissues, being stable under physiological and cell-culture conditions, and non-cytotoxic towards A375 melanoma cells.

As a matter of fact, these techniques are less invasive and have fewer side effects than traditional cancer treatments like surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy. This review summarizes the clinical progress in the theranostics (diagnosis and treatment) of various types of regional cancers using these two light stimuli techniques, PDT and PTT. Therefore, clinical advances in cancer diagnosis based on PDT are detailed, including fluorescence-guided PDT for intraoperative cancer detection, optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided PDT for early cancer detection, and imaging by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) assisted through PDT/PTT. Moreover, clinical studies of breast, prostate, skin, gynecologic, head, neck and other varieties of cancer have been addressed to compare the main conditions of these treatments. This work also discussed the principal advantages and drawbacks of PDT and PTT in tumor targeting and cancer therapy. Finally, the usage of nanoparticles as photosensitizers (PSs) and photothermal agents (PAs) have been analyzed.

+614,skin cancer,39489756,Identification of genetic fingerprint of type I interferon therapy in visceral metastases of melanoma.,"Malignant melanoma is a difficult-to-treat skin cancer with increasing incidence worldwide. Although type-I interferon (IFN) is no longer part of guidelines, several melanoma patients are treated with type-I interferon (IFN) at some point of the disease, potentially affecting its genetic progression. We run genome-wide copy number variation (CNV) analysis on previously type-I IFN-treated (n = 17) and control (n = 11) visceral metastases of melanoma patients. Results were completed with data from the TCGA and MM500 databases. We identified metastasis- and brain metastasis-specific gene signatures mostly affected by CN gains. Some cases were genetically resistant to IFN showing characteristic gene alterations (e.g. ABCA4 or ZEB2 gain and alterations of DNA repair genes). Analysis of a previously identified type-I IFN resistance gene set indicates that only a proportion of these genes was exclusive for the IFN-treated metastases reflecting a possible selective genomic pressure of endogenous IFNs during progression. Our data suggest that previous type-I IFN treatment and/or endogenous IFN production by immune response affect genomic progression of melanoma which may have clinical relevance, potentially influence immune checkpoint regulation in the tumor microenvironment."

Despite its widespread use and efficacy, it also presents considerable challenges, particularly with adverse effects on rapidly dividing normal cells, such as keratinocytes. These detrimental effects are attributed to inflammatory, oxidative, and apoptotic potentials, leading to severe skin disorders. Due to the lack of specific remedies for 5-FU-induced dermatological side effects, conventional treatments are applied instead, which provide limited relief and have drawbacks. This study investigated the impact of acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) in 5-FU-treated human keratinocytes. The findings indicated that ATBC substantially reduced inflammation caused by 5-FU, as demonstrated by nuclear translocation of nuclear factor kappa B and expression of its downstream genes, including tumor necrosis factor, interleukin 1 beta (IL1B), and IL6. ATBC also markedly decreased oxidative stress, indicated by reactive oxygen species levels and the antioxidant gene expression such as superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), SOD2, and heme oxygenase 1 in 5-FU-treated cells. Furthermore, ATBC attenuated 5-FU-induced apoptosis, as determined by lactate dehydrogenase release and Annexin V/propidium iodide flow cytometry, with the potential involvement of interferon-related genes. Following this, protein kinase C delta was predicted as a possible molecular target of ATBC. These findings propose ATBC as a therapeutic agent for managing the cutaneous side effects associated with 5-FU treatment."
+618,skin cancer,39489221,Epoxytiglianes induce keratinocyte wound healing responses via classical protein kinase C activation to promote skin re-epithelialization.,"Epoxytiglianes are a novel class of diterpene esters. The prototype epoxytigliane, EBC-46 (tigilanol tiglate), is a potent anti-cancer agent in clinical development for local treatment of a range of human and animal tumors. EBC-46 also consistently promotes wound re-epithelialization at the treatment sites, mediated via activation of classical protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms. We have previously shown that epoxytiglianes stimulate proliferative and wound repopulation responses in immortalized human skin keratinocytes (HaCaTs) in vitro, abrogated by pan-PKC inhibitor, bisindolylmaleimide-1. In this study, we further investigate the specific PKC isoforms responsible for inducing such wound healing responses, following HaCaT treatment with 1.51 nM-15.1 µM EBC-46 or analogue, EBC-211. Classical PKC inhibition by GӦ6976 (1 μM), significantly attenuated epoxytigliane induced, HaCaT proliferation and wound repopulation at all epoxytigliane concentrations. PKC-βI/-βII isoform inhibition by enzastaurin (1 μM), significantly inhibited HaCaT proliferation and wound repopulation responses induced by both epoxytiglianes, especially at 1.51-151 nM. PKC-α inhibitor, Ro 31-8220 mesylate (10 nM), exerted lesser inhibitory effects on HaCaT responses. Epoxytigliane changes in key keratin (KRT17) and cell cycle (cyclin B1, CDKN1A) protein levels were partly attenuated by GӦ6976 and enzastaurin. GӦ6976 also inhibited increases in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-1, MMP-7, MMP-10) activities. Phospho-PKC (p-PKC) studies confirmed that epoxytiglianes transiently activated classical PKC isoforms (p-PKCα, p-PKC-βI/-βII, p-PKCγ) in a dose- and time-dependent manner. By identifying how epoxytiglianes stimulate classical PKCs to facilitate keratinocyte healing responses and re-epithelialization, these findings support further epoxytigliane development as topical therapeutics for clinical situations involving impaired re-epithelialization, such as non-healing wounds in skin."

Recent reports suggest a correlation between ICI-induced systemic inflammation and thromboembolic events as well as an increased effectiveness by coadministration of anticoagulants. With cancer patients having a higher risk of thrombotic events per se, it is crucial to dissect and characterize the mechanisms that cause pro-coagulative effects induced by systemic tumor therapies and their potential interplay with anti-tumor response. A total of 31 patients with advanced skin cancer treated with either ICIs (n = 24) or BRAF/MEK inhibitors (n = 7) were longitudinally assessed for blood and coagulation parameters before as well as 7, 20 and 40 days after initiation of systemic tumor therapy. Changes were analyzed and compared between both groups. In addition, the influence of coagulation parameters on progression-free, recurrence-free and overall survival was investigated. The ICI cohort presented significantly increased factor VIII activity after one week of therapy (p 0.0225); while, protein S activity was reduced during the whole observation period. Additionally, von Willebrand factor activity and tissue factor concentrations increased under immunotherapy. Similar changes occurred under BRAF/MEK inhibitor therapy (BRAF/MEKi). Increased baseline levels of von Willebrand factor antigen and factor VIII:C before the start of ICI therapy correlated with a significantly higher risk of recurrence for patients receiving adjuvant immunotherapy. The findings suggest the induction of a pro-coagulant state under ICI and BRAF/MEKi and a role of coagulation parameters in the efficacy of ICI therapies."
+621,skin cancer,39487854,Differential T cell accumulation within intracranial and subcutaneous melanomas is associated with differences in intratumoral myeloid cells.,"Patients with metastatic brain melanomas (MBM) experience shorter-lasting survival than patients with extracranial metastases, and this is associated with a higher fraction of dysfunctional CD8 T cells. The goal of this study was to understand the underlying cause of T cell dysfunction in MBM. To accomplish this, we compared murine B16 melanomas implanted intracranially (IC) or subcutaneously (SC). CD8 T cell activation was not altered, but representation in IC tumors was lower. Transferred activated or naïve CD8 T cells accumulated in similar numbers in both tumors, suggesting that the vasculature does not differentially impair T cell presence. Surprisingly, we found no evidence for T cell activation in draining lymph nodes of SC or IC tumor-bearing mice, consistent with the fact that dendritic cells (DC) that had acquired tumor antigen showed an immature phenotype. Instead, T cell activation occurred within both tumors, where the majority of tumor antigen"
+622,skin cancer,39487277,DTL promotes the growth and migration of melanoma cells through the ERK/E2F1/BUB1 axis.,"Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer. Hence, a better understanding of molecular mechanisms in melanoma pathogenesis is urgently needed, which provides a new insight into the therapy of melanoma. DTL gene is screened out in melanoma pathogenesis by integrated bioinformatics analysis, and its expression is validated in the tissue and cell samples of melanoma. Forced DTL expression facilitates the proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT of melanoma cells, while DTL knockdown suppresses the biological behavior of melanoma cells. In addition, DTL promotes the malignancy of melanoma in vivo. Mechanistically, BUB1 is the crucial downstream target of DTL. Reduced DTL expression suppresses BUB1 expression, while enhanced DTL expression induces BUB1 upregulation. Rescue experiments showed that growing and migrating of melanoma cells induced by DTL are partially impaired by BUB1 inhibition. In addition, the expression of phosphorylated ERK (p-ERK) and the downstream transcription factor E2F1 are reduced when DTL expression is blocked. Meanwhile, BUB1 levels are decreased when the expression of p-ERK or E2F1 is repressed. Notably, the growth and migration of melanoma cells by inhibition of ERK and knockdown of E2F1 was rescued by overexpressing BUB1. DTL gene may be a prognosis marker and represent a unique potential target for melanoma patients. DTL supports the biologically malignant activity of melanoma cells via the ERK/E2F1/BUB1 axis."
+623,skin cancer,39487210,Risk factors for local recurrence following marginal mandibulectomy in gingival cancer.,"Surgery is the first line of treatment in gingival cancers of the mandible, and bone resection is necessary in the majority of cases. In the less extensive surgical option, marginal mandibulectomy (MM), the mandibular base is preserved. In contrast, in a segmental mandibulectomy (SM) the mandible is divided and the continuity is not preserved. If MM can be performed with comparable oncological results to SM, it is the preferred method. The aim of the present study was to identify preoperative predictors for local recurrence (LR), to support the selection of candidates for MM. Outcome measures were local recurrence free survival (LRFS) and disease specific survival (DSS). 67 patients treated with MM between 2008 and 2021 were included. Cox regression analyses of LR with hazard ratios and adjustments for postoperative radiotherapy, pathological T-stage (pT) and soft tissue margins were performed. 5-years LRFS was 63% (95% CI 46.9-75.5) and DSS 80.6% (95% CI 64.7-89.9). In conclusion we found that edentulous patients, more advanced pT-stage and positive soft tissue margins had increased risk for LR. Future studies of the correlation between cT and pT would be important to provide more robust preoperative support in the selection between MM and SM."
+624,skin cancer,39485847,Pathogenic mitochondrial DNA mutations inhibit melanoma metastasis.,"Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations are frequent in cancer, yet their precise role in cancer progression remains debated. To functionally evaluate the impact of mtDNA variants on tumor growth and metastasis, we developed an enhanced cytoplasmic hybrid (cybrid) generation protocol and established isogenic human melanoma cybrid lines with wild-type mtDNA or pathogenic mtDNA mutations with partial or complete loss of mitochondrial oxidative function. Cybrids with homoplasmic levels of pathogenic mtDNA reliably established tumors despite dysfunctional oxidative phosphorylation. However, these mtDNA variants disrupted spontaneous metastasis from primary tumors and reduced the abundance of circulating tumor cells. Migration and invasion of tumor cells were reduced, indicating that entry into circulation is a bottleneck for metastasis amid mtDNA dysfunction. Pathogenic mtDNA did not inhibit organ colonization following intravenous injection. In heteroplasmic cybrid tumors, single-cell analyses revealed selection against pathogenic mtDNA during melanoma growth. Collectively, these findings experimentally demonstrate that functional mtDNA is favored during melanoma growth and supports metastatic entry into the blood."

These molecular changes can potentially affect the cellular stability of melanocytes and promote their oncogenic transformation. Thus, small RNAs can be considered as therapeutic targets for these conditions, however, their topical delivery to the melanocytes through the epidermal barrier is challenging. We synthesized and extensively evaluated ultradeformable cationic liposome (UCLs) carriers complexed with synthetic microRNAs (miR211-5p; UCL-211) for transdermal delivery to melanocytes. UCL-211 complexes were characterized for their physicochemical properties, encapsulation efficiency, and deformability, which revealed a significant advantage over conventional liposomal carriers. Increased expression of miR211-5p stabilizes melanocytic nevi and keeps them in growth-arrested state. We did a comprehensive assessment of cellular delivery, and biological activity of the miR211-5p carried by UCL-211 "
+627,skin cancer,39484535,Estimating and correcting index hopping misassignments in single-cell RNA-seq data.,"Index hopping causes read assignment errors in data from multiplexed sequencing libraries. This issue has become more prevalent with the widespread use of high-capacity sequencers and highly multiplexed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) libraries. We conducted deep, plate-based scRNA-seq on a mixed population of mouse skin cells. Analysis of transcriptomes from 1152 cells identified four distinct cell types. To estimate the error rate in sample assignment due to index hopping, we employed differential expression analysis to identify signature genes that were highly and specifically expressed in each cell type. We quantified the proportion of misassigned reads by examining the detection rates of signature genes in other cell types. Remarkably, regardless of gene expression levels, we estimated that 0.65% of reads per gene were assigned to incorrect cell across our data. To computationally compensate for index hopping, we developed a simple correction method wherein, for each gene, 0.65% of the library's average expression level was subtracted from the expression of each cell. This correction had notable effects on transcriptome analyses, including increased cell-cell clustering distance and alterations in intermediate state assignments of cell differentiation. These findings underscore the potential impact of index hopping on experimental results. In conclusion, we devised a straightforward method to estimate and correct for the index hopping rate by quantifying misassigned genes in distinct cell types within an scRNA-seq library. This approach can be applied to any barcoded, multiplexed scRNA-seq library containing cells with distinct expression profiles, allowing for correction of the expression matrix before conducting biological analysis."

It highlights the need for GPs to be able to recognize suspicious skin lesions and refer patients to specialist dermatology centers. However, many GPs lack comprehensive training in diagnosing melanoma. The text mentions that various training courses have been conducted for GPs, but their impact on clinical practice has been limited. The MelaMEd Programme is an e-learning course developed by the Italian Melanoma Intergroup (IMI). The programme aims to provide GPs with comprehensive knowledge of melanoma prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. It includes an e-learning section, and a dedicated platform called MelaMEd platform, which offers a multimedia atlas of melanoma. The objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of the MelaMEd programme on GPs' diagnostic accuracy, knowledge of melanoma, and management of suspicious lesions. The methodology involves administering pre-training and post-training questionnaires to participants, assessing their diagnostic skills and evaluating the training course's effectiveness. The study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of the MelaMEd programme in improving GPs' ability to recognize and manage melanoma. It also seeks to identify areas for improvement and recommend interventions to enhance diagnostic accuracy.

Using previously reported RNA-sequencing results from Kaposi sarcoma lesions in skin and gastrointestinal tract with normal matched tissues from the same patients at the same time, we investigated changes in lymphocytes in these tissues. We employed a computational method that determines changes in cell type distributions using KS lesion transcriptome data compared to a reference set of RNA expression patterns of purified immune cells. Since secreted cytokines and chemokines from KSHV-infected cells may influence the microenvironment of Kaposi sarcoma lesions, we performed cytokine profiling of conditioned media from KSHV-infected primary human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells. We also measured how this conditioned media altered the differentiation of macrophages in cell culture assays.

Achieving an exhaustive understanding of reliable cancer-specific markers and molecular pathways can provide numerous practical techniques and direct the way toward the development of rational curative medicines to increase the lifespan of patients. Immunotherapy has significantly enhanced the treatment of metastatic and late-stage melanoma, resulting in an incredible increase in positive responses to therapy. Despite the increasing occurrence of melanoma, the median survival rate for patients with advanced, inoperable terminal disease has increased from around six months to almost six years. The current knowledge of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and its interaction with the immune system has resulted in the swift growth of innovative immunotherapy treatments. Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles (EVs), ranging from 30 to 150 nm in size, that the majority of cells released them. Exosomes possess natural advantages such as high compatibility with living organisms and low potential for causing immune reactions, making them practical for delivering therapeutic agents like chemotherapy drugs, nucleic acids, and proteins. This review highlights recent advancements in using exosomes as an approach to providing medications for the treatment of melanoma."
+633,skin cancer,39488215,Concurrent SOS1 and MEK suppression inhibits signaling and growth of NF1-null melanoma.,"Neurofibromin (NF1) is a negative regulator of RAS signaling, frequently mutated in cancer. NF1-mutant melanoma is a highly malignant tumor for which targeted therapies are lacking. Here, we use biochemical and pharmacological assays on patient-derived models and isogenic cell lines to identify potential pharmacologic targets, revealing that NF1-null melanomas are dependent on RAS activation and that MEK inhibition relieves ERK-dependent negative feedback, increasing RAS signaling. MEK inhibition with avutometinib abrogates the adaptive rebound in ERK signaling, but the antitumor effects are limited. However, concurrent inhibition of MEK and SOS1 abrogates ERK activation, induces cell death, and suppresses tumor growth. In contrast to the NF1-deficient setting, concurrent SOS1 and SOS2 depletion is required to completely inhibit RAS signaling in NF1 wild-type cells. In sum, our data provide a mechanistic rationale for enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of MEK inhibitors by exploiting the lower residual SOS activity in NF1-null tumor cells."

Unintended weight loss can occur widely and is often multifactorial. Clinicians should use screening tools to identify those experiencing UWL. Management includes nutrition assessments and diagnosing malnutrition when present. Nutrition counseling by a registered dietitian nutritionist should address the causes and manifestations of UWL. Individualized dietary plans with supplementation and/or nutrition support and medications for appetite stimulation may be considered. The presence of UWL at the end of life should be addressed in line with the patient's care plan. Managing UWL is part of the multidisciplinary care teams' responsibilities."

When it occurs, it is often poorly differentiated making the diagnosis challenging. There exists a male predominance, and clinical presentation usually includes papules or nodules resembling pyogenic granulomas or dermal deposits. Histopathology shows malignant dermal cells. Hepatoid features including nests or cords of cells arranged in a trabecular or pseudoglandular pattern, sinusoidal formation, or the presence of bile exist in less than 50% of cases. Limitations exist with immunohistochemical staining, particularly in poorly differentiated neoplasms. Albumin in situ hybridization is more sensitive for detecting poorly differentiated HCC. Immunostaining in conjugation with albumin in situ hybridization enhances the detection of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. We report the case of a 74-year-old man with a history of HCC and a stable lung metastasis who presented with painful, growing bumps on his nose for 2 months. Examination revealed multiple, pink to white, shiny dermal-based papules with telangiectasias involving the right nasal tip and naris. Alpha-fetoprotein level was markedly elevated. Computed tomography showed expanding right lower lobe lung nodules. Histopathology of the cutaneous biopsy revealed features of a poorly differentiated basaloid carcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining was diffusely positive for glypican-3, focally positive for arginase-1, and negative for hepatocyte paraffin 1. Albumin in situ hybridization was diffusely positive, clinching the diagnosis of HCC. Metastatic HCC is a rare encounter for dermatopathologists. We aim to increase awareness of its occurrence in patients with advanced HCC and highlight the importance of clinical correlation when faced with poorly differentiated or unusual-looking basaloid neoplasms."

+637,skin cancer,39487562,Reevaluating hybrid neurofibroma/schwannoma: Predominance of schwannoma features despite CD34 positivity and initial neurofibroma diagnosis.,"Schwannomas consist of both high-cellularity regions (Antoni A area) and hypocellular regions (Antoni B area) in histopathological findings. Neurofibromas characteristically consist of CD34 positive spindle cells with thin, wavy, nuclei and wavy collagen bands. Previous reports have described segments of schwannomas with neurofibroma features as hybrid tumors, although hybrid tumors were diagnosed based on partial CD34 positivity in many previous reports. On the other hand, the Antoni B area of some schwannomas was reported to be positive for CD34. Therefore, the definition of a hybrid tumor has not been clear. The objective of this study was to determine whether only CD34 positive findings in schwannomas could be used to define a hybrid tumor. In the analysis of our patient with schwannomatosis caused by a novel LZTR1 germline mutation, part of the tumor had CD34 positive hypocellular regions. These regions contained no thin, wavy, nuclei, indicating an Antoni B area. Laser microdissection was used to investigate the genetic background and differences in molecular mechanisms between CD34 positive and CD34 negative regions. All mutations identified in CD34 positive regions were also found in CD34 negative regions. Our data could not clear the genetic background of Antoni B which was CD34 positive area. We then reviewed the pathologies of 66 sporadic schwannomas. Histopathological examinations of all schwannomas revealed the absence of thin, wavy, nuclei and wavy collagen bands, and no hybrid tumors were found in any of the cases. Ten of 66 patients were randomly selected for CD34 immunostaining and positivity was found in all cases. Our data suggest that it is difficult to distinguish schwannomas by staining for CD34 alone, as Antoni B areas can also be positive for CD34. Therefore, CD34 staining alone should not be used to diagnose hybrid tumors in patients with schwannomas."

Unlike filopodia, invasive protrusions are mechanically stiff and propelled by branched actin polymerization. However, how branched actin filaments are organized to create finger-like invasive protrusions is unclear. Here, by examining the mammalian fusogenic synapse, where invasive protrusions are generated to promote cell membrane juxtaposition and fusion, we have uncovered the mechanism underlying invasive protrusion formation. We show that two nucleation-promoting factors for the Arp2/3 complex, WAVE and N-WASP, exhibit different localization patterns in the protrusions. Whereas WAVE is closely associated with the plasma membrane at the leading edge of the protrusive structures, N-WASP is enriched with WIP along the actin bundles in the shafts of the protrusions. During protrusion initiation and growth, the Arp2/3 complex nucleates branched actin filaments to generate low-density actin clouds in which the large GTPase dynamin organizes the new branched actin filaments into bundles, followed by actin-bundle stabilization by WIP, the latter functioning as an actin-bundling protein. Disruption of any of these components results in defective protrusions and failed myoblast fusion in cultured cells and mouse embryos. Together, our study has revealed the intricate spatiotemporal coordination between two nucleation-promoting factors and two actin-bundling proteins in building invasive protrusions at the mammalian fusogenic synapse and has general implications in understanding invasive protrusion formation in cellular processes beyond cell-cell fusion."

Sezary syndrome is a rare and aggressive leukaemic variant of cutaneous lymphoma. We report a patient in middle childhood who presented with recurring non-specific folliculotropic manifestations. The final diagnosis of MF was arrived at after excluding all other possible dermatoses. Within a few months of skin manifestations, our index child was found to have blood involvement with similar clonal T-lymphoid cells.

While therapeutic advancements have improved outcomes, metastatic melanoma remains challenging to treat. This study aims to systematically review systemic treatment options for advanced melanoma, focusing on efficacy and safety in the first-line setting. Through a comprehensive search and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials conducted from 2013 to 2023, 11 studies encompassing 2816 participants were analyzed. Treatment options included BRAF inhibitors (vemurafenib, dabrafenib), MEK inhibitors (trametinib, cobimetinib), and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ipilimumab). Combined therapy with vemurafenib, cobimetinib, and ipilimumab demonstrated superior overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) compared to monotherapy, with a significant odds ratio (OR) of 6.95 (95% CI: 4.25-9.64, p < 0.00001) for OS and 2.49 (95% CI: 1.42-3.56, p < 0.00001) for PFS. Additionally, dabrafenib and trametinib combination therapy showed improved outcomes with favorable tolerability, including a significant reduction in adverse event (AE) risk, with an OR of 2.20 (95% CI: 1.72-2.81). Furthermore, our analysis highlighted vemurafenib-associated dermatological toxicities, emphasizing the need for effective management strategies. The study underscores the evolving treatment landscape in melanoma management, with a potential shift towards immune checkpoint inhibitors in the adjuvant setting, particularly for BRAF-mutated disease. However, limitations in meta-analysis methodologies and the need for long-term investigations into treatment implications on survival and quality of life underscore the importance of continued research."

Accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and improved patient outcomes. This study introduces a novel deep-learning multi-model architecture designed for high-precision skin disease diagnosis. The system employs a five-category Xception model to classify skin lesions into five classes: Atopic Dermatitis, Acne and Rosacea, Skin Cancer, Bullous, and Others. Trained on 25,010 images, the model achieved 95% accuracy and an AUROC of 99.4%. To further enhance accuracy, transfer learning was applied, resulting in specialized models for each class, with strong performance across 40 skin conditions. Specifically, the Acne and Rosacea model achieved an accuracy of 90.0%, with a precision of 90.7%, recall of 90.1%, f1-score of 90.2%, and an AUROC of 99.0%. The Skin Cancer model demonstrated 94.0% accuracy, 94.8% precision, 94.2% recall, 94.1% f1-score, and a 99.5% AUROC. The Atopic Dermatitis model reported 91.8% accuracy, 92.2% precision, 91.8% recall, 91.9% f1-score, and a 98.8% AUROC. Finally, the Bullous model showed 90.0% accuracy, 90.6% precision, 90.0% recall, 90.0% f1-score, and a 98.9% AUROC. This approach surpasses previous studies, offering a more comprehensive diagnostic tool for skin diseases.

+652,skin cancer,39481685,Extracellular vesicles powered cancer immunotherapy: Targeted delivery of adenovirus-based cancer vaccine in humanized melanoma model.,"Malignant melanoma, a rapidly spreading form of skin cancer, is becoming more prevalent worldwide. While surgery is successful in treating early-stage melanoma, patients with advanced disease have only a 20 % chance of surviving beyond five years. Melanomas with mutations in the NRAS gene are characterized for a more aggressive tumor biology, poorer prognosis and shorter survival. Hence, new therapeutic strategies are needed, especially for this specific group of patients. Novel approaches, such as cancer vaccines, offer promising solutions by stimulating the anti-tumor immune response. Nevertheless, their clinical efficacy is still modest and more effective approaches are required. Herein, we propose the systemic administration of the adenovirus-based cancer vaccine complexed in extracellular vesicles (EVs) with the aim of achieving a targeted therapeutic effect. The vaccine was based on previously tested oncolytic adenovirus Ad5/3-D24-ICOSL-CD40L in combination with melanoma-specific antigens targeting NRAS mutations to enhance the anticancer effect. The antineoplastic properties of the oncolytic vaccine were evaluated in xenograft MUG Mel-2 melanoma BALB/c nude mice. Moreover, to mimic the tumor microenvironment, while investigating at the same time immune cell infiltration and drug penetration, we established a 3D co-culture model based on human NRAS mutated MUG Mel-2 spheroids and PBMCs (HLA matched), which displayed a synergistic effect when treated with the cancer vaccine compared to relative controls. Subsequently, we investigated the systemic delivery of the vaccine in EV formulations in a humanized NSG MUG Mel-2 melanoma mouse model. Our study provides a promising strategy for a tumor-targeted vaccine delivery by EVs, resulting in improved anticancer efficacy and increased infiltration of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. This study explores the potential of EVs for the selective delivery of cancer vaccines against malignancies, such as NRAS melanoma. Overall, this research could pave the way for applying autologous EVs as a safe and efficacious tool for targeted cancer therapy."

We followed patients with unresectable melanoma from baseline and during anti-PD-1 therapy, collecting fecal and blood samples that were surveyed for changes in the gut microbiota and immune markers. Varying patient responses were linked to different gut microbiota dynamics during ICI treatment.

Kidney transplant recipients (KTR) are at increased risk of developing cancer compared to the general population. Historically, KTR were excluded from ICI clinical trials due to concern for allograft rejection and decreased anti-tumor efficacy. While early post-marketing data revealed an allograft rejection risk of 40%-50%, 2 recent small prospective trials have demonstrated lower rates of rejection of 0%-12%, suggesting that maintenance immunosuppression modification prior to ICI start modulates rejection risk. Moreover, objective response rates induced by ICI for the treatment of advanced or metastatic skin cancer, the most common malignancy in KTR, have been comparable to those achieved by immune intact patients. Non-invasive biomarkers may have a role in risk-stratifying patients before starting ICI, and monitoring for rejection, though allograft biopsy is required to confirm diagnosis. This clinically focused review summarizes current knowledge on complications of ICI use in KTR, including their mechanism, risk mitigation strategies, non-invasive biomarker use, approaches to treatment of rejection, and suggestions for future directions in research."

Elevated inflammatory markers and white blood cell counts are also commonly seen in SS. Dense neutrophilic infiltration in the dermis is a cardinal feature of SS. A 52-year-old woman presented with a five-month-long history of fever, easy fatigability, multiple painful skin lesions over her scalp, face, trunk, and limbs, and a history of multiple joint pain for three months. Examination revealed tender, erythematous papules, plaques, and nodules which spread from her scalp to involve almost the entire body. Hematological workup unmasked an overlap between anemia of chronic disease and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Her inflammatory markers and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were also elevated. The anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) test revealed 1:100 titers but the ANA profile failed to point toward a concrete rheumatological cause. After ruling out more common causes of fever with rash, a skin biopsy helped us to diagnose SS conclusively. A diagnosis of SS necessitated a hunt for the cause. Ultrasonography of the abdomen alarmed us to a suspicious cervical mass which was confirmed as a FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) grade IIb neoplasia by an MRI of the pelvis. Histopathological examination established a diagnosis of moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. SS was successfully treated with colchicine. Our case is unique in the sense that SS was the first feature of a newly diagnosed case of cervical cancer which is already an exceptionally rare cause of SS. There ought to be a greater awareness regarding both SS and its association with malignancy. It's pertinent that we look out for cancer when more common causes of SS do not fit the clinical picture."

We present a case of a 64-year-old male with metastatic colorectal cancer who developed severe pruritus and widespread new skin lesions following treatment with encorafenib, a v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B (BRAF) inhibitor, and panitumumab, an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody. The dermatological assessment identified both pigmented and non-pigmented lesions, including benign nevi and keratoacanthomas. Despite close monitoring, larger keratoacanthomas persisted, prompting surgical excision, which confirmed lichenoid keratosis. The Naranjo scale indicated a definite association between encorafenib and cutaneous reactions, with a score of nine. The mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway's role in cutaneous adverse events was explored, suggesting a paradoxical activation mechanism. Discontinuation of encorafenib and panitumumab led to gradual resolution of most lesions, highlighting a possible etiopathogenic link. This study emphasizes the need for thorough dermatologic evaluation and follow-up in patients receiving BRAF inhibitors to optimize management and avoid unnecessary treatment cessation."

Cross-modal combines multiphoton and reflectance confocal microscopy into one compact system with coordinated three-axis scanning that preserves optical resolution in cross-section. A custom pinhole-free mechanism employing finite-infinite conjugates further simplifies and stabilizes confocal alignment. Evaluated in participants ages 9-81 and Fitzpatrick skin types (FST) 1-5, cross-modal images revealed histological details analogous to those obtained from traditional biopsied tissue.

This determines the effectiveness of fluorescence diagnostics and photodynamic therapy (PDT). This paper studies the processes of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-induced protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) and chlorin e6 (Ce6) accumulation in the central and border zones of a tumor after combined administration of two PSs into the patient's body. Fluorescence diagnostic methods have shown that sublingual administration of 5-ALA leads to the more intense accumulation of PpIX in a tumor compared to oral administration. Differences have been identified in the dynamics of 5-ALA-induced PpIX and Ce6 accumulation in the central and border zones of the tumor, as well as normal tissues. Ce6 accumulates mainly in the central zone of the tumor while PpIX accumulates in the border zone of the tumor. All patients with combined PDT experienced complete therapeutic pathomorphosis and relapse-free observation."

The first case presented with extensive feather loss refractory to treatment. Bacterial and fungal folliculitis and beak and feather disease virus were excluded as primary causes, and the bird was euthanised due to poor response to treatment. Histopathological examination of the skin showed an extensive infiltrate of pleomorphic mononuclear leucocytes, suggestive of cutaneous lymphoma. Immunohistochemistry revealed >95% of these cells were CD3 positive, consistent with T cell lymphoma. The second case presented debilitated and in poor body condition and was euthanised due to poor prognosis. Histopathological examination revealed extensive infiltrates of pleomorphic mononuclear leucocytes in multiple tissues, suggestive of disseminated lymphoma. Immunohistochemistry revealed 70%-80% of these leucocytes were Pax5 positive, consistent with a B cell lymphoma. To the authors' knowledge these cases constitute the first report of malignant neoplasms in members of the Order Caprimulgiformes.

During tissue regeneration, adult stem cells coordinately repress retrotransposons and activate lineage genes, but how this coordination is controlled is poorly understood. Here, we observed that dynamic expression of histone methyltransferase SETDB1 (a retrotransposon repressor) closely mirrors stem cell activities in murine skin. SETDB1 ablation leads to the reactivation of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs, a type of retrotransposon) and the assembly of viral-like particles, resulting in hair loss and stem cell exhaustion that is reversible by antiviral drugs. Mechanistically, at least two molecularly and spatially distinct pathways are responsible: antiviral defense mediated by hair follicle stem cells and progenitors and antiviral-independent response due to replication stress in transient amplifying cells. ERV reactivation is promoted by DNA demethylase ten-eleven translocation (TET)-mediated hydroxymethylation and recapitulated by ablating cell fate transcription factors. Together, we demonstrated ERV silencing is coupled with stem cell activity and essential for adult hair regeneration."

However, it is unclear whether severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA can be detected on the skin surface, including the sebum, of these patients. In this study, SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected using real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay of skin surface lipids (SSLs) collected using an oil-blotting film from the faces of hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Human transcriptome analysis was also performed using the same samples. In facial SSLs of patients with COVID-19, the RT-PCR positivity rate was 84.6% (11/13 samples) within 5 days and 30.4% (7/23 samples) by 6-10 days of symptom onset.

Despite its transformative potential, the prohibitive cost of ST technology remains a significant barrier to its widespread adoption in large-scale studies. An alternative, more cost-effective strategy involves employing artificial intelligence to predict gene expression levels using readily accessible whole-slide images stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E). However, existing methods have yet to fully capitalize on multimodal information provided by H&E images and ST data with spatial location. In this paper, we propose mclSTExp, a multimodal contrastive learning with Transformer and Densenet-121 encoder for Spatial Transcriptomics Expression prediction. We conceptualize each spot as a ""word"", integrating its intrinsic features with spatial context through the self-attention mechanism of a Transformer encoder. This integration is further enriched by incorporating image features via contrastive learning, thereby enhancing the predictive capability of our model. We conducted an extensive evaluation of highly variable genes in two breast cancer datasets and a skin squamous cell carcinoma dataset, and the results demonstrate that mclSTExp exhibits superior performance in predicting spatial gene expression. Moreover, mclSTExp has shown promise in interpreting cancer-specific overexpressed genes, elucidating immune-related genes, and identifying specialized spatial domains annotated by pathologists.

Using a genetic screen in C57BL/6J mice, we discovered a mutation in host H2-Aa that caused strong immune-mediated resistance to mouse melanomas. H2-Aa encodes an MHC class II α chain, and its absence in C57BL/6J mice eliminates all MHC-II expression. H2-Aa deficiency, specifically in dendritic cells (DC), led to a quantitative increase in type 2 conventional DC (cDC2) and a decrease in cDC1. H2-Aa-deficient cDC2, but not cDC1, were essential for melanoma suppression and effectively cross-primed and recruited CD8 T cells into tumors. Lack of T regulatory cells, also observed in H2-Aa deficiency, contributed to melanoma suppression. Acute disruption of H2-Aa was therapeutic in melanoma-bearing mice, particularly when combined with checkpoint inhibition, which had no therapeutic effect by itself. Our findings suggest that inhibiting MHC-II may be an effective immunotherapeutic approach to enhance immune responses to cancer."

Almost 15% of people with diabetes are suffering from delayed wound healing worldwide. The main vehicle for the development of ulcers in the diabetic population is poor circulation and peripheral neuropathy. Chronic injuries from diabetes frequently lead to traumatic lower leg amputations. Hydrogels are three-dimensional gels that can be fabricated from natural polymers and synthetic polymers. Biopolymers are flexible, elastic, or fibrous materials that come from a natural source, such as plants, animals, bacteria, or other living things. Some of the naturally occurring polymers that are frequently employed in wound dressing applications include polysaccharides and proteins. These polymers can be employed for many therapeutic applications because of their inherent biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, non-toxicity, and biodegradability. They represent a tuneable platform for enhancing skin healing. Therefore, this review paper interprets how natural biopolymers and their various hydrogel forms can be potentially used for diabetic wound healing."

Molecular findings reveal common genetic profiles, particularly PLAG1 rearrangements in both PA and CMT. Although molecular distinctions have received limited attention, our observations indicate multiple cases of CMTs carrying the TRPS1::PLAG1 fusion. This clinical experience has driven our investigation into the potential diagnostic utility of TRPS1::PLAG1 fusions for determining tumor origin. Two cohorts consisting of 46 cases of CMT and 45 cases of PA of the salivary glands were obtained from French institutions and reviewed by specialists in each subspecialty. RNA sequencing analysis was conducted to identify the molecular features of cases harboring PLAG1. Clinical, pathological, and molecular data were collected. In this study, cases of CMT exhibited recurrent gene fusions, primarily TRPS1::PLAG1 (74%). These tumors shared characteristic histological features, including tubuloductal differentiation in 55% of cases and squamous metaplasia in varying proportions. In contrast, cases of PA had gene fusions involving PLAG1 with various gene partners, with only one case in which TRPS1::PLAG1 was identified. This disparity was also observed at the transcriptomic level between TRPS1::PLAG1 CMTs and other tumors. However, TRPS1 immunostaining did not correlate with TRPS1::PLAG1 fusion. In conclusion, we report that recurrent TRPS1::PLAG1 fusion CMTs exhibit similar characteristic histological features, including tubuloductal differentiation that is associated with squamous metaplasia in around half of cases. Detection of this fusion could be valuable in correctly identifying the origin of these tumors. © 2024 The Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland."

This study evaluates the effect of hair presence in dermoscopic images on AI-driven skin lesion recognition, using 10,015 images from the HAM10000 collection. Images were categorized based on the extent of hair occlusions to assess their impact on AI performance. Advanced metrics like Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping and novel infection metrics provided deeper insights into the model's focus and segmentation efficacy. The results revealed that the AI model achieved an impressive overall accuracy of 95.3 % and an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 99.1 %, maintaining high performance across various lesion types. Performance varied with hair occlusion levels; it was optimal under few hair occlusions but dropped significantly when hair was abundant. For instance, Vascular Lesions saw a dramatic decrease in performance metrics from 0.515 to 0.115 under heavy hair occlusion, while Actinic Keratoses and Intraepithelial Carcinoma were least affected. Sparse hair occasionally improved accuracy, suggesting its potential utility in training robust models. The study underscores the complex impact of hair on AI diagnostics in dermatology, advocating for the development of advanced preprocessing techniques and hair-robust algorithms to enhance AI diagnostic capabilities."
+709,skin cancer,39466849,STIL overexpression shortens lifespan and reduces tumor formation in mice.,"Centrosomes are the major microtubule organizing centers of animal cells. Supernumerary centrosomes are a common feature of human tumors and associated with karyotype abnormalities and aggressive disease, but whether they are cause or consequence of cancer remains controversial. Here, we analyzed the consequences of centrosome amplification by generating transgenic mice in which centrosome numbers can be increased by overexpression of the structural centrosome protein STIL. We show that STIL overexpression induces centrosome amplification and aneuploidy, leading to senescence, apoptosis, and impaired proliferation in mouse embryonic fibroblasts, and microcephaly with increased perinatal lethality and shortened lifespan in mice. Importantly, both overall tumor formation in mice with constitutive, global STIL overexpression and chemical skin carcinogenesis in animals with inducible, skin-specific STIL overexpression were reduced, an effect that was not rescued by concomitant interference with p53 function. These results suggest that supernumerary centrosomes impair proliferation in vitro as well as in vivo, resulting in reduced lifespan and delayed spontaneous as well as carcinogen-induced tumor formation."

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) has been identified as an important effector of signaling pathways that lead to the growth and development of cSCC. In recent years, there have been numerous studies evaluating the role FGFR2 plays in multiple cancers, its contribution to resistance to anticancer therapy, and new drugs that may be used to inhibit FGFR2. This review will provide an overview of our current understanding of FGFR2 and potential mechanisms in which we can target FGFR2 in cSCC. The goals of this review are the following: (1) to highlight our current knowledge of the role of FGFR2 in healthy skin and contrast this with its role in the development of cancer; (2) to further explain the specific molecular mechanisms that FGFR2 uses to promote tumorigenesis; (3) to describe how FGFR2 contributes to more invasive disease; (4) to describe its immunosuppressive effects in skin; and (5) to evaluate its effect on current anticancer therapy and discuss therapies on the horizon to target FGFR2 related malignancy."

+715,skin cancer,39465853,The causal effects of inflammatory bowel disease on skin carcinoma: A two-sample Mendelian randomization study.,"Observational studies have indicated that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients have higher incidence of skin carcinoma (SC), including melanoma skin carcinoma (MSC) and nonmelanoma skin carcinoma (NMSC) than healthy people. However, whether there is a causal relationship between the 2 is unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the causality of IBD on SC using the Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. We performed a two-sample MR analysis using publicly available genome-wide association study data. Eligible instrumental variables were selected based on the 3 core assumptions of MR analysis. The inverse-variance weighted (IVW) approach served as the primary analytical method. Supplementary analyses were conducted using MR-Egger regression, the weighted median, the weighted mode, and MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier methods. Genetically predicted IBD (IVW odds ratio [OR] = 1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02-1.13, P = .011) and ulcerative colitis (UC; IVW OR = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.03-1.16, P = .003) were associated with an increased risk of MSC. Results of complementary methods were consistent with those of the IVW method with the exception of the weighted mode. In addition, Crohn disease (CD; IVW OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 0.99-1.08, P = .128) did not have a causal effect on MSC. Moreover, IBD (IVW OR = 1.03, 95% CI: 1.00-1.07, P = .034) and CD (IVW OR = 1.03, 95% CI: 1.00-1.06, P = .045) were associated with an increased risk of NMSC. However, UC (IVW OR = 1.00, 95% CI: 0.97-1.04, P = .803) was not significantly associated with an increased risk of NMSC. Our study revealed genetically predicted associations between IBD and the risks of MSC and NMSC in European populations. Furthermore, UC was associated with an increased risk of MSC, while CD was associated with a higher risk of NMSC. However, the potential influence of immunosuppressive agents or biologics cannot be excluded."

We integrate multi-omics and clinical data to conduct a molecular landscape of CAMKK2. Gene variation results revealed abnormal high frequency mutations of CAMKK2 in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma, while expression level analysis demonstrated relatively high expression of CAMKK2 in prostate adenocarcinoma. The aberrant expression of CAMKK2 was found to be predictive of survival outcomes in several cancer types. Additionally, we identified potential regulators of CAMKK2 expression, including miRNAs such as miR.129.1.3p, as well as small-molecule drugs such as EPZ004777, which significantly correlated with CAMKK2 expression. Single-cell transcriptome analysis of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma further revealed a significantly higher expression of CAMKK2 in and monocyte and macrophage M1. Furthermore, in the kidney renal clear cell carcinoma IMvigor210 cohort, patients ongoing immunotherapy with higher CAMKK2 expression experienced a significantly longer median overall survival, but it was observed that in bladder urothelial carcinoma GSE176307 and skin cutaneous melanoma GSE78220 cohorts, CAMKK2 might significantly prolong overall survival. Briefly, CAMKK2 emerges as a promising molecular biomarker that holds potential implications for prognostic evaluation and predicting the effectiveness of immunotherapy across cancers."

While extensive research has been conducted on S100A16 in specific cancer types, a comprehensive evaluation of its role across diverse cancers remains lacking. To explore the prognostic significance, drug sensitivity, and immunomodulatory roles of S100A16, a thorough analysis was conducted at a pan-cancer level using multiple databases. Our findings revealed high expression of S100A16 RNA in various human cancers. Importantly, this elevated expression was linked to disease prognosis and drug sensitivity across a spectrum of cancers. Genetic alterations in S100A16 were characterized across multiple cancer types, and a confirmed correlation was observed in the prognosis of skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM). Furthermore, our study demonstrated a significant association between S100A16 expression and the infiltrating levels of diverse cell types in the tumor microenvironment (TME), suggesting its potential as a prognosis predictor for immunotherapy. Novel collections of miRNAs, such as has-miR-423-5p, has-miR-769-5p, has-miR-151a-3p, and has-miR-550a-5p, targeting S100A16 at a pan-cancer level were predicted through various databases. These findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding the role of S100A16 in prognosis prediction, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, providing valuable insights for identifying novel targets in cancer treatment."

+719,skin cancer,39464917,Central diabetes insipidus: A rare primary manifestation of small-cell lung carcinoma.,"Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a disorder of water hemostasis that is associated with polyuria-polydipsia syndrome. Central DI (CDI) primarily results from autoimmune destruction, traumatic injury, or anatomical damage caused by neoplasms. Craniopharyngioma, germinoma, and distant metastases are the main neoplastic causes, with pituitary adenomas rarely manifesting as CDI. Pituitary gland metastasis is rare, with the vast majority of cases being asymptomatic. We present a rare case of pituitary metastasis originating from small-cell carcinoma of the lung with CDI and skin swellings as the primary manifestation, without any evidence of the primary malignancy upon initial presentation. A 56-year-old chronic smoker with newly diagnosed type-2 diabetes mellitus presented with a history of polydipsia and polyuria along with soft tissue swellings in the axilla and the chest for the last 3 months. A water deprivation test and a desmopressin challenge test were performed, revealing the presence of CDI. In light of the CDI, a contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging brain was performed, which displayed a loss of pituitary bright spot and four T2 isointense lesions with post-contrast enhancement in the left frontal, parietal, occipital, and right temporal lobes, suggestive of metastatic lesions. Fine needle aspiration cytology of the swelling revealed cytomorphological characteristics indicating the presence of malignancy, specifically favoring carcinoma. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography thorax revealed a right hilar lung mass infiltrating the surrounding structures with multiple regional and distant metastases. A lung biopsy confirmed the presence of small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). The final diagnosis was advanced SCLC with multiple distant metastases associated with CDI, and the patient is currently receiving palliative care and inhalational desmopressin. In conclusion, metastatic lesions and lung cancer must be considered early when patients present with polydipsia and polyuria symptoms."

The prevalence of cSCC in humans, as well as the poor capacity for an efficient prognosis, highlights the need to uncover alternative actors and mechanisms at the foundation of skin cancer development. Significant advances have been made to better understand some key factors in cSCC progression. However, little is known about the role of noncoding RNAs, particularly of a specific category called long noncoding RNA (lncRNA). By performing pseudobulk analysis of single-cell sequencing data from normal and cSCC human skin tissues, we determined a global portfolio of lncRNAs specifically expressed in keratinocyte subpopulations. Integration of CRISPR interference screens in vitro and the xenograft model identified several lncRNAs impacting the growth of cSCC cancer lines both in vitro and in vivo. Among these, we further validated LINC00704 and LINC01116 as proliferation-regulating lncRNAs in cSCC lines and potential biomarkers of cSCC progression. Taken together, our study provides a comprehensive signature of lncRNAs with roles in regulating cSCC progression."
+723,skin cancer,39463858,LightDPH: Lightweight Dual-Projection-Head Hierarchical Contrastive Learning for Skin Lesion Classification.,"Effective skin cancer detection is crucial for early intervention and improved treatment outcomes. Previous studies have primarily focused on enhancing the performance of skin lesion classification models. However, there is a growing need to consider the practical requirements of real-world scenarios, such as portable applications that require lightweight models embedded in devices. Therefore, this study aims to propose a novel method that can address the major-type misclassification problem with a lightweight model. This study proposes an innovative Lightweight Dual Projection-Head Hierarchical contrastive learning (LightDPH) method. We introduce a dual projection-head mechanism to a contrastive learning framework. This mechanism is utilized to train a model with our proposed multi-level contrastive loss (MultiCon Loss), which can effectively learn hierarchical information from samples. Meanwhile, we present a distance-based weight (DBW) function to adjust losses based on hierarchical levels. This unique combination of MultiCon Loss and DBW function in LightDPH tackles the problem of major-type misclassification with lightweight models and enhances the model's sensitivity in skin lesion classification. The experimental results demonstrate that LightDPH significantly reduces the number of parameters by 52.6% and computational complexity by 29.9% in GFLOPs while maintaining high classification performance comparable to state-of-the-art methods. This study also presented a novel evaluation metric, model efficiency score (MES), to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of models with scaling and classification performance. The proposed LightDPH effectively mitigates major-type misclassification and works in a resource-efficient manner, making it highly suitable for clinical applications in resource-constrained environments. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that develops an effective lightweight hierarchical classification model for skin lesion detection."

RHBLS typically presents as painful, hemorrhagic bullae with surrounding sclerotic tissue. A 71-year-old female with a history of whole breast radiotherapy for invasive ductal carcinoma of the right breast and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the left breast presented to the clinic with pruritic, firm, and erythematous plaques involving the inframammary folds that progressed into large, painful, hemorrhagic bullae surrounded by porcelain-white skin over several weeks.

Despite initial responses to treatment, most patients eventually experience disease progression. We report the case of an 82-year-old male with a red chest nodule, later diagnosed with BPDCN and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Dermoscopy revealed reddish-purple dots, and a biopsy confirmed BPDCN. The patient responded to venetoclax and azacitidine but relapsed five months later. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis of BPDCN and the utility of dermoscopy in this tumor, which can contribute to timely treatment and improved patient outcomes."

Several noninvasive image techniques and computer-aided diagnosis systems have been developed to help find melanoma in its early stages. However, most previous research utilized dermoscopic images to build a diagnosis model, and only a few used prospective datasets. This study develops and evaluates a convolutional neural network (CNN) for melanoma identification and risk prediction using optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of mice skin. Longitudinal tests are performed on four animal models: melanoma mice, dysplastic nevus mice, and their respective controls. The CNN classifies melanoma and healthy tissues with high sensitivity (0.99) and specificity (0.98) and also assigns a risk score to each image based on the probability of melanoma presence, which may facilitate early diagnosis and management of melanoma in clinical settings."
+729,skin cancer,39461690,A biodegradable lipid nanoparticle delivers a Cas9 ribonucleoprotein for efficient and safe in situ genome editing in melanoma.,"The development of melanoma is closely related to Braf gene, which is a suitable target for CRISPR/Cas9 based gene therapy. CRISPR/Cas9-sgRNA ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs) stand out as the safest format compared to plasmid and mRNA delivery. Similarly, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) emerge as a safer alternative to viral vectors for delivering the CRISPR/Cas9-sgRNA gene editing system. Herein, we have designed multifunctional cationic LNPs specifically tailored for the efficient delivery of Cas9 RNPs targeting the mouse Braf gene through transdermal delivery, aiming to treat mouse melanoma. LNPs are given a positive charge by the addition of a newly synthesized polymer, deoxycholic acid modified polyethyleneimine (PEI-DOCA). Positive charge enables LNPs to be delivered in vivo by binding to negatively charged cell membranes and proteins, thereby facilitating efficient skin penetration and enhancing the delivery of RNPs into melanoma cells for gene editing purposes. Our research demonstrates that these LNPs enhance drug penetration through the skin, successfully delivering the Cas9 RNPs system and specifically targeting the Braf gene. Cas9 RNPs loaded LNPs exert a notable impact on gene editing in melanoma cells, significantly suppressing their proliferation. Furthermore, in mice experiments, the LNPs exhibited skin penetration and tumor targeting capabilities. This innovative LNPs delivery system offers a promising gene therapy approach for melanoma treatment and provides fresh insights into the development of safe and effective delivery systems for Cas9 RNPs in vivo. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: CRISPR/Cas9 technology brings new hope for cancer treatment. Cas9 ribonucleoprotein offers direct genome editing, yet delivery challenges persist. For melanoma, transdermal delivery minimizes toxicity but faces skin barrier issues. We designed multifunctional lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for Cas9 RNP delivery targeting the Braf gene. With metal microneedle pretreatment, our LNPs effectively edited melanoma cells, reducing Braf expression and inhibiting tumor growth. Our study demonstrates LNPs' potential for melanoma therapy and paves the way for efficient in vivo Cas9 RNP delivery systems in cancer therapy."

Skin contact with Cr (VI) can cause allergies or genetic defects, and inhalation can cause cancer, which is a lasting danger to the environment and the human body. Developing effective strategies to monitor Cr(VI) in environmental water or industrial wastewater can evaluate the degree of water pollution and risk warning, thus helping to prevent the spread of Cr(VI) pollution, promote the protection of water resources and the ecological environment, and ensure human safety and sustainable development. On the basis of the regulation of dopamine, boron-doped zinc single-atom nanozymes (Zn/B-NC SAzymes) with three-dimensional nanoflower morphology were controlled in this work. The introduction of B in Zn/B-NC SAzymes and the high metal loading of Zn (6.5 wt%) led to the formation of more active sites, resulting in the material showing excellent enzyme-like activity. H"
+732,skin cancer,39460975,Needle-Free Targeted Injections Using Bubble Laser Technology in Therapeutics.,"This work explores bubble laser technology as an alternative to needles in injection systems for vaccination, cancer treatment, insulin delivery, and catheter hygiene. The technology leverages laser-induced microfiltration and bubble dynamics to create high-speed pneumatic jets that penetrate the skin without needles, addressing discomfort, infection risk, and needle-related concerns. The system's performance is analyzed based on laser wavelength, pulse duration, and Gaussian beam droplet size. The findings indicate a significant increase in spot size at 1064 nm compared with 400 nm, consistent with the diffraction theory. Induced bubble dynamics reveal bubble generation, jetting, and fluid interactions as the Weber number increases, as well as jet velocity and fluid inertia. For femtosecond pulses, increasing the pulse duration from 100 to 1500 fs reduces the bubble lifespan from 0.8 to 0.3 arbitrary units, and the collapse pressure decreases from 2.1 to 0.4 bar. For picosecond pulses, the bubble lifetime decreases from 0.9 to 0.5 arbitrary units, and the pressure drop decreases from 2.0 to 0.4 bar as the pulse length extends from 2000 to 8000 ps. Jet formation in laser jet injection systems is enhanced by short pulses in water that produce longer-lasting bubbles. Drug delivery based on the Rayleigh-Plesset equation is characterized by a low-pressure collapse and short bubble lifetime. Thus, this relationship suggests that bubble laser technology can provide a more controlled and safer method of needle-free procedures, increasing compliance and reducing tissue trauma."

Our objective was to systemically review reported cases of same-site or different-site cutaneous malignancy after smoothened inhibitor (SMOi) therapy for primary basal cell carcinoma (BCC). PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus were systematically searched January 1, 2012 - March 28, 2024. Inclusion criteria: primary BCC, SMOi therapy, and biopsy-proven secondary malignancy. Exclusion criteria: non-human subjects. Bias was assessed using Risk of Bias in Nonrandomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool. Twenty-three cases describing same-site secondary malignancy were included. Average patient age was 67.2 years, mean treatment time 8.4 months, and average latency period to secondary malignancy development of 10.2 months. Five cases describing different-site secondary cutaneous malignancies were included. Mean patient age was 80.4 years, mean treatment time 2.9 months, and mean latency period 4.5 months. Twenty-seven cases were associated with vismodegib, while one case described vismodegib then sonidegib therapy. Pathologies included squamous cell carcinoma, BCC, basosquamous carcinoma, and malignant melanoma. The mechanism(s) by which same-site and different-site secondary malignancy occur are not known; mechanisms may differ depending on location type and secondary tumor type. We discuss multiple mechanistic hypotheses including pharmacologic selective pressure leading to hedgehog pathway mutant cells and activation of pro-growth signaling, and potential protective effect of hedgehog inhibition from melanoma given reports of rapid growth after SMOi discontinuation. This study is limited by the small number of reported cases. Additional research is needed to investigate these hypotheses."

Although docetaxel-based chemotherapy is common, no standard treatment exists. Pembrolizumab is approved for solid tumors with a high tumor mutation burden (TMB) and/or high microsatellite instability, and nivolumab was approved in Japan in February 2024 for unresectable advanced or recurrent epithelial skin malignancies. However, there is a lack of real-world data regarding the efficacy of anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) therapy for EMPD. We present the case details of three EMPD patients treated with anti-PD-1 therapy after docetaxel treatment, with TMB values of 17.8, 14.3, and 5.0 mut/Mb, respectively, and we review similar reported cases. Even in the cases with a high TMB, the response to anti-PD-1 therapy was not sufficient.

We obtained reports of ICI-associated BP from the first quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2024 in the FAERS database. The reporting odds ratio (ROR) method of the disproportionality analysis was performed to assess the potential risk for ICI-associated BP. We also described the clinical characteristics of ICI-associated BP and evaluated the time to onset (TTO) of BP developed after treatment with ICIs. Eight hundred and six cases of ICI-associated BP were gathered, in which 56.58% of the patients were aged 65 years or older. The majority of patients were male, accounting for 68.49% of all cases. The prevalent potential cancer type was skin cancer (31.64%). The results of the disproportionality analysis showed that males (ROR = 2.10 [1.78-2.49]), patients aged 65 or older (ROR = 2.13 [1.79-2.55]), and patients with skin cancer (ROR = 2.08 [1.80-2.43]) were more likely to develop ICI-associated BP. In comparison to cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 inhibitor and programmed cell death ligand 1 inhibitor, programmed cell death 1 inhibitor-associated BP has a higher risk of development (ROR = 24.45 [22.52-26.56]). ICI-associated BP had a median TTO of 204 days (interquartile range 57-426 days). ICI-associated BP is a rare but important immune-related adverse event. Our study provided helpful information to help medical professionals further understand ICI-associated BP."

Although the evaluation of circulating IgG antibodies against Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) LT/sT oncoproteins is clinically useful for MCC diagnosis/prognosis, a limited number of assays for identifying such antibodies have been developed. Herein, a novel indirect immunoassay with synthetic epitopes/mimotopes of MCPyV oncoproteins was computationally designed and experimentally validated on control sera and sera from healthy individuals and MCC patients. Upon computational design of five synthetic peptides, the performance of the immunoassay in detecting anti-oncoprotein IgGs in MCPyV-positive and -negative control sera was evaluated. The immunoassay was afterwards extended on sera from healthy individuals, and, for longitudinal analysis, MCC patients. Performance properties such as sensitivity and specificity and positive/negative predictive values were adequate. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves indicated that the areas under the curves (AUCs) were within the low/moderately accurate ranges. Immunoassay was repeatable, reproducible and accurate. As expected, the serum anti-oncoprotein IgG prevalence in healthy individuals was low (2%-5%). Anti-oncoprotein IgGs slightly increased when MCC patients experienced partial tumour remission and/or stable disease, compared to baseline. Our data indicate that the newly developed immunoassay is reliable for detecting circulating anti-oncoprotein IgGs both in healthy individuals and MCC patients."

Considering the recent advances in research on PVs using rolling circle amplification (RCA) followed by high-throughput sequencing (HTS), in this study, we aimed to investigate the bovine papillomavirus (BPV) types associated with proliferative lesions in the upper alimentary tract of an affected bull and characterize the viral strains through complete genome sequencing using this strategy. We analyzed the PV strains associated with two hyperplastic esophageal lesions through PCR using degenerate primer pairs and RCA, followed by HTS. HTS of the libraries generated using RCA products provided the whole genome sequence of BPV4 present in squamous papilloma, whereas the complete genome sequence of BPV2 and subgenomic fragments of BPV4 were identified in carcinoma in situ (CIS). For the first time, we have sequenced BPV2 identified from the CIS of the bovine upper alimentary canal. Additionally, RCA followed by HTS allowed characterization of the mixed infection by BPV2 and BPV4 in this lesion. These data reveal that BPV4 is not the only BPV type present in CIS of the esophageal mucous membrane; moreover, a mixed infection caused by BPV2 and BPV4 at the tested anatomical site was demonstrated."

+744,skin cancer,39459070,Microfluidic Applications in Prostate Cancer Research.,"Prostate cancer is a disease in which cells in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system below the bladder, grow out of control and, among men, it is the second-most frequently diagnosed cancer (other than skin cancer). In recent years, prostate cancer death rate has stabilized and, currently, it is the second-most frequent cause of cancer death in men (after lung cancer). Most deaths occur due to metastasis, as cancer cells from the original tumor establish secondary tumors in distant organs. For a long time, classical cell cultures and animal models have been utilized in basic and applied scientific research, including clinical applications for many diseases, such as prostate cancer, since no better alternatives were available. Although helpful in dissecting cellular mechanisms, these models are poor predictors of physiological behavior mainly because of the lack of appropriate microenvironments. Microfluidics has emerged in the last two decades as a technology that could lead to a paradigm shift in life sciences and, in particular, controlling cancer. Microfluidic systems, such as organ-on-chips, have been assembled to mimic the critical functions of human organs. These microphysiological systems enable the long-term maintenance of cellular co-cultures in vitro to reconstitute in vivo tissue-level microenvironments, bridging the gap between traditional cell cultures and animal models. Several reviews on microfluidics for prostate cancer studies have been published focusing on technology advancement and disease progression. As metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer remains a clinically challenging late-stage cancer, with no curative treatments, we expanded this review to cover recent microfluidic applications related to prostate cancer research. The review includes discussions of the roles of microfluidics in modeling the human prostate, prostate cancer initiation and development, as well as prostate cancer detection and therapy, highlighting potentially major contributions of microfluidics in the continuous march toward eradicating prostate cancer."

This study analyzed a decade of feline tumor data in Korea from 2012 to 2022, focusing on age, breed, and anatomical location as predictors of malignancy. Data were collected from 683 cats, with regression analysis applied to determine significant associations. Older cats exhibited a markedly higher risk of malignancy, particularly in mast cell and mammary tumors. Tumors in the mammary gland and alimentary tract had malignancy rates exceeding 90%, underscoring the need for early detection in these regions. Interestingly, squamous cell carcinoma was rare in the skin, in stark contrast to Western studies, likely reflecting differences in environmental exposure. While breed was not a statistically significant predictor, certain breeds, including Persians and Russian Blues, showed a higher frequency of malignancy. These findings highlight the importance of regional tumor research in cats and the need for larger, multicenter datasets that incorporate environmental, genetic, and lifestyle factors.

The main DNA damage tolerance pathways include strand switching, replication fork reversal and translesion synthesis (TLS). The TLS pathway is mediated by specialised DNA polymerases that can accommodate altered DNA structures during DNA synthesis, and are important in allowing replication to proceed after fork arrest, preventing fork collapse that can generate more deleterious double-strand breaks in the genome. TLS may occur directly at the fork, or at gaps remaining behind the fork, in the process of post-replication repair. Inactivating mutations in the human "

Single cell biology is an ideal and powerful tool to address these features at a molecular level. However, this approach requires enzymatic cell dissociation that can influence cellular coverage. By contrast, single nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) has substantial advantages including compatibility with frozen samples and the elimination of a dissociation-induced, transcriptional stress response. To better profile and understand the functional diversity of different cellular components in melanoma progression, we performed snRNA-seq of 16,839 nuclei obtained from tumor samples along the growth of murine syngeneic melanoma model carrying a BRAFV600E mutation and collected 9 days or 23 days after subcutaneous cell injection. We defined 11 different subtypes of functional cell clusters among malignant cells and 5 different subsets of myeloid cells that display distinct global transcriptional program and different enrichment in early or advanced stage of tumor growth, confirming that this approach was useful to accurately identify intratumor heterogeneity and dynamics during tumor evolution. The current study offers a deep insight into the biology of melanoma highlighting TME reprogramming through tumor initiation and progression, underlying further discovery of new TME biomarkers which may be potentially druggable."
+751,skin cancer,39456853,Advancing Treatment Options for Merkel Cell Carcinoma: A Review of Tumor-Targeted Therapies.,"Although rare, Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a highly aggressive and increasingly prevalent neuroendocrine cancer of the skin. While current interventions, including surgical resection, radiation, and immunotherapy have been employed in treating many patients, those who remain unresponsive to treatment are met with sparse alternatives and a grim prognosis. For this reason, it is of interest to expand the repertoire of available therapies for MCC patients who remain resistant to current primary interventions. Recently, our improved mechanistic understanding of aberrant cell signaling observed in both MCPyV-positive and -negative MCC has facilitated exploration into several small molecules and inhibitors, among them receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and somatostatin analogs (SSAs), both of which have positively improved response rates and reduced tumor volumes upon application to treatment of MCC. The introduction of such targeted therapies into treatment protocols holds promise for more personalized care tailored towards patients of diverse subtypes, thereby improving outcomes and mitigating tumor burden, especially for treatment-resistant individuals. In this review, we characterize recent findings surrounding targeted treatments that have been applied to MCC and provide an overview of emerging perspectives on translatable options that can be further developed to offer additional therapeutic avenues for patients with the disease."

Around half of all cancer patients undergo some type of radiation therapy throughout the course of their treatment. Photon radiation remains (RT) the most widely utilized modality of radiotherapy despite recent advancements in proton radiation therapy (PBT). PBT makes use of the particle's biological property known as the Bragg peak to better spare healthy tissue from radiation damage, with data to support that this treatment modality is less toxic than photon RT. Hence, proton radiation dosimetry looks better compared to photon dosimetry; however, due to proton-specific uncertainties, unexpected acute, subacute, and long-term toxicities can be encountered. Reported neurotoxicity resulting from proton radiation treatments include radiation necrosis, moyamoya syndrome, neurosensory toxicities, brain edema, neuromuscular toxicities, and neurocognitive toxicities. Pulmonary toxicities include pneumonitis and fibrosis, pleural effusions, and bronchial toxicities. Pericarditis, pericardial effusions, and atrial fibrillations are among the cardiac toxicities related to proton therapy. Gastrointestinal and hematological toxicities are also found in the literature. Genitourinary toxicities include urinary and reproductive-related toxicities. Osteological, oral, endocrine, and skin toxicities have also been reported. The side effects will be comparable to the ones following photon RT, nonetheless at an expected lower incidence. The toxicities collected mainly from case reports and clinical trials are described based on the organs affected and functions altered."

Cold atmospheric pressure Plasma (CAP) is increasingly successful in skin cancer therapy, but further research is needed to understand its selective effects on cancer cells at the molecular level. In this study, A431 (squamous cell carcinoma) and HaCaT (non-malignant) cells cultured under identical conditions revealed similar ROS levels but significantly higher antioxidant levels in unstimulated A431 cells, indicating a higher metabolic turnover typical of tumour cells. HaCaT cells, in contrast, showed increased antioxidant levels upon CAP stimulation, reflecting a robust redox adaptation. Specifically, proteins involved in antioxidant pathways, including NF-κB, IκBα, Nrf2, Keap1, IKK, and pIKK, were quantified, and their translocation level upon stimulation was evaluated. CAP treatment significantly elevated Nrf2 nuclear translocation in non-malignant HaCaT cells, indicating a strong protection against oxidative stress, while selectively inducing NF-κB activation in A431 cells, potentially leading to apoptosis.

Disruptions in circadian rhythms can exacerbate UVR-induced skin damage and increase the risk of skin aging and cancer. This review explores how circadian rhythms affect various aspects of skin physiology and pathology, with a special focus on DNA repair. Circadian regulation ensures optimal DNA repair following UVR-induced damage, reducing mutation accumulation, and enhancing genomic stability. The circadian control over cell proliferation and apoptosis further contributes to skin regeneration and response to UVR. Oxidative stress management is another critical area where circadian rhythms exert influence. Key circadian genes like brain and muscle ARNT-like 1 ("

Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) was designated as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer in 2013 and is an emerging global environmental risk factor that is a major cause of death related to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. PM is a complex composed of highly reactive organic matter, chemicals, and metal components, which mainly cause excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can lead to DNA and cell damage, endoplasmic reticulum stress, inflammatory responses, atherosclerosis, and airway remodeling, contributing to an increased susceptibility to and the exacerbation of various diseases and infections. PM has various effects on human health depending on the particle size, physical and chemical characteristics, source, and exposure period. PM smaller than 5 μm can penetrate and accumulate in the alveoli and circulatory system, causing harmful effects on the respiratory system, cardiovascular system, skin, and brain. In this review, we describe the relationship and mechanism of ROS-mediated cell damage, oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses caused by PM and the health effects on major organs, as well as comprehensively discuss the harmfulness of PM."

Therefore, there's a pressing need to innovate effective treatments to address this significant medical and societal challenge. In recent years, X-ray-induced photodynamic therapy (X-PDT) has emerged as a promising advancement, revolutionizing traditional photodynamic therapy (PDT) for deeply entrenched malignancies by harnessing penetrating X-rays as external stimuli. Recent developments in X-ray photodynamic therapy have shown a trend toward minimizing radiation doses to remarkably low levels after the proof-of-concept demonstration. Early detection and real-time monitoring are crucial aspects of effective cancer treatment. Sophisticated X-ray imaging techniques have been enhanced by the introduction of X-ray luminescence nano-agents, alongside contrast nanomaterials based on X-ray attenuation. X-ray luminescence-based in vivo imaging offers excellent detection sensitivity and superior image quality in deep tissues at a reasonable cost, due to unhindered penetration and unimpeded auto-fluorescence of X-rays. This review emphasizes the significance of X-ray responsive theranostics, exploring their mechanism of action, feasibility, biocompatibility, and promising prospects in imaging-guided therapy for deep-seated tumors. Additionally, it discusses promising applications of X-PDT in treating breast cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer, and colorectal cancer."

Despite distinct stratified epithelial tissues of origin, converging evidence points toward shared biologic pathways across SCCs. With recent breakthroughs in molecular technologies have come novel SCC treatment paradigms, including immunotherapies and targeted therapy. This review compares commonalities and differences across SCCs from different anatomical sites, including risk factors and genetics, as well as cellular and molecular programs driving tumorigenesis. We review landmark discoveries of the ""cancer stem cells"" (CSCs) that initiate and propagate SCCs and their gene and translational regulation programs.

Data were standardly collected (N=270 from 19 centers). Involved organs included skin (75%), eye (61%), mouth (54%), joint/fascia (47%), GI (26%), lung (27%), liver (19%), genital (7%), other (4.4%). NIH severity was mild in 5.7%, moderate 42%, severe 53%. 39% had overlap subtype. KPS was ≥ 80% in 72%. Median prednisone (mg/kg) was 0.21 (0-2.27). Ibrutinib was started at median of 18.2 months after cGVHD onset and in earlier lines of therapy (2nd line: 26%, 3rd: 30%, 4th: 21%, 5th: 9.6%, 6th: 10%, 7th or higher: 1.2%)). Among evaluable subjects, the 6 month NIH overall response rate (CR/PR) was 45% (PR 42%, CR 3%). Median duration of response was 15 months (range 1-46). Liver involvement had association with 6 month ORR (multivariate (MVA) OR 5.49 (95% CI 2.3-14.2, p <0.001). Best overall response was 56%, with most (86%) achieving by 1-3 months. With median follow up for survivors of 30.5 months, FFS was 59% (53-65%) at 6 months and 41% (36-48%) at 12 months.

+766,skin cancer,39453974,The full transcription map of cottontail rabbit papillomavirus in tumor tissues.,"Cottontail rabbit papillomavirus (CRPV), the first papillomavirus associated with tumor development, has been used as a powerful model to study papillomavirus pathogenesis for more than 90 years. However, lack of a comprehensive analysis of the CRPV transcriptome has impeded the understanding of CRPV biology and molecular pathogenesis. Here, we report the construction of a complete CRPV transcription map from Hershey CRPV-induced skin tumor tissues. By using RNA-seq in combination with long-reads PacBio Iso-seq, 5' and 3' RACE, primer-walking RT-PCR, Northern blot, and RNA in situ hybridization, we demonstrated that the CRPV genome transcribes its early and late RNA transcripts unidirectionally from at least five distinct major promoters (P) and polyadenylates its transcripts at two major polyadenylation (pA) sites. The viral early transcripts are primarily transcribed from three ""early"" promoters, P90, P156, and P907 and polyadenylated at nt 4368 by using an early polyadenylation signal (PAS) at nt 4351. Like other low-risk human papillomaviruses and animal papillomaviruses, CRPV E6 and E7 transcripts are transcribed from three separate early promoters. Transcripts from two ""late"" promoters, P7525, and P1225, utilize either an early PAS for E1^E4 or a late PAS at 7399 for L2 and L1 RNA polyadenylation at nt 7415 to express capsid L2 and L1 proteins respectively. By using the mapped four 5' splice sites and three 3' splice sites, CRPV RNA transcripts undergo extensive alternative splicing to produce more than 33 viral RNA isoforms for production of at least 12 viral proteins, some of which without codon optimization are expressible in rabbit RK13 and human HEK293T cells. The constructed full CRPV transcription map in this study for the first time will enhance our understanding of the structures and expressions of CRPV genes and their contribution to molecular pathogenesis and tumorigenesis."

As a result, firefighters have become heavily focused on identifying effective and easy to implement decontamination strategies to reduce their chemical exposures. Skin decontamination using wipes post-exposure is one decontamination strategy that every firefighter has available to them. However, firefighters have expressed concerns over the ingredients in the wipe solution increasing dermal absorption. The goal of this study was to determine if the ingredients in skin decontamination wipe solution had any enhancement effect on the dermal absorption of phenanthrene. To determine any enhancement effects, the additive solution of four skin decontamination wipe products was applied to porcine skin 15 min after chemical dosing. The absorption of phenanthrene was tested in vitro using a flow-through diffusion cell system over eight hours.

+768,skin cancer,39453099,Anti-Shrinkage Technique for Feline Skin Samples.,"Surgical resection of subcutaneous neoplasms with clear margins is crucial for preventing local recurrence and avoiding adjuvant treatments. However, the evaluation of surgical margins often differs significantly from the histopathological assessment due to tissue shrinkage, which can result in inaccurate therapeutic assessments and unreliable patient prognoses. In this study, ten feline cadavers were utilized. Six 50 mm diameter specimens were collected from three regions (thorax, flank, femur) and measured at three time points: T0 (excision time), T1 (10 min after incision), and T2 (at least 48 h after sample collection and formalin fixation). Samples in the study group were stretched and fixed on a cork plate with pinpoint needles after excision to restore their original dimensions. All specimens exhibited a similar trend. After 48 h of formalin fixation, the control specimens showed significant shrinkage, with a reduction of 25.73% in radius and 26.32% in diameter. In contrast, the study specimens demonstrated minimal changes, with a radius reduction of -0.28% and no change in diameter. The results indicate that all feline skin specimens experienced significant shrinkage of approximately one-quarter from their pre-incisional size. Stretching and pinning the excised tissues allowed for the restoration and maintenance of original dimensions even after formalin fixation. This technique represents a valid and practical approach to minimize tissue shrinkage."

Delayed recognition without appropriate treatment can have serious and life-threatening consequences. The management of irAEs presents a unique set of challenges that must be addressed at a multidisciplinary level. Although various national and international guidelines and working groups provide high-level recommendations for the management of irAEs, practical guidance is lacking. Furthermore, timely collaboration between specialists requires institutional protocols that enable the early recognition, assessment, and treatment of irAEs. Such protocols should be developed by institution specialists and include algorithms for all healthcare providers involved in the care of patients treated with ICIs. At William Osler Health System in Brampton, Ontario, practical step-by-step multidisciplinary treatment approaches with recommendations for the management of irAEs were developed in collaboration with experts across Canada. Here, we provide an in-depth description of the approaches, outlining baseline investigations prior to the initiation of ICIs, as well as the monitoring and management of irAEs based on symptoms, severity, and involved organ systems.

While pathological diagnosis has traditionally served as the gold standard, the assessment of differentiation levels heavily depends on subjective judgments. Therefore, how to improve the diagnosis accuracy and objectivity of pathologists has become an urgent problem to be solved. We used multispectral imaging (MSI) to enhance tumor classification. The hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained cSCC slides were from Shanghai Ruijin Hospital.

Accurate diagnosis of these lesions is crucial for effective patient management, especially in dermatology, where visual assessment plays a central role. Incorrect diagnoses can result in mismanagement, delays in appropriate interventions, and potential harm. AI, however, holds the potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy and provide reliable support to clinicians. This work aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of machine learning (logistic regression of lesion features and patient metadata) and deep learning (CNN analysis of images) models in dermoscopy diagnosis and the management of aPFLs. This study involved the analysis of 1197 dermoscopic images of facial lesions excised due to suspicious and histologically confirmed malignancy, classified into seven classes (lentigo maligna-LM; lentigo maligna melanoma-LMM; atypical nevi-AN; pigmented actinic keratosis-PAK; solar lentigo-SL; seborrheic keratosis-SK; and seborrheic lichenoid keratosis-SLK). Image samples were collected through the Integrated Dermoscopy Score (iDScore) project. The statistical analysis of the dataset shows that the patients mean age was 65.5 ± 14.2, and the gender was equally distributed (580 males-48.5%; 617 females-51.5%). A total of 41.7% of the sample constituted malignant lesions (LM and LMM). Meanwhile, the benign lesions were mainly PAK (19.3%), followed by SL (22.2%), AN (10.4%), SK (4.0%), and SLK (2.3%). The lesions were mainly localised in the cheek and nose areas. A stratified analysis of the assessment provided by the enrolled dermatologists was also performed, resulting in 2445 evaluations of the 1197 images (2.1 evaluations per image on average). The physicians demonstrated higher accuracy in differentiating between malignant and benign lesions (71.2%) than in distinguishing between the seven specific diagnoses across all the images (42.9%). The logistic regression model obtained a precision of 39.1%, a sensitivity of 100%, a specificity of 33.9%, and an accuracy of 53.6% on the test set, while the CNN model showed lower sensitivity (58.2%) and higher precision (47.0%), specificity (90.8%), and accuracy (59.5%) for melanoma diagnosis. This research demonstrates how AI can enhance the diagnostic accuracy in complex dermatological cases like aPFLs by integrating AI models with clinical data and evaluating different diagnostic approaches, paving the way for more precise and scalable AI applications in dermatology, showing their critical role in improving patient management and the outcomes in dermatology."

Here, analysis in a syngeneic melanoma grafting model shows that without furin coexpression, Activin-A failed to accelerate tumor growth, correlating with failure of one or both subunits to undergo cleavage in signal-sending cells, even though compensatory processing by host cells nonetheless sustained elevated circulating Activin-A levels. In reporter assays, furin-independent cleavage of one subunit enabled juxtacrine Activin-A signaling, whereas completion of proteolytic maturation by coexpressed furin or by recipient cells stimulated contact-independent activity, crosstalk with BMP receptors, and signal inhibition by follistatin. Mechanistically, Activin-A processing was modulated by allosteric disulfide bonds flanking the furin site. Disruption of these disulfide linkages with the prodomain enabled Activin-A binding to cognate type II receptors independently of proteolytic maturation. Stepwise proteolytic maturation is a novel mechanism to control Activin-A protein interactions and signaling."

NRF2 is highly expressed in the skin and is known to play a critical role in diabetic wound healing, a serious disease process for which treatment options are limited. However, many existing NRF2 activators display off-target effects due to their electrophilic mechanism, underscoring the need for alternative approaches. In this work, we investigated two recently described non-electrophilic NRF2 activators, ADJ-310 and PRL-295, and demonstrated their efficacy in vitro and in vivo in human keratinocytes and Lepr"

Understanding differences in the prevalence and severity of lymphedema following different surgical procedures for lymphadenectomy could promote early intervention to treat lymphedema. There is currently little evidence to support the notion that inguino-pelvic lymphadenectomy is associated with greater morbidity than inguinal lymphadenectomy, although it is believed that the difference in the extent of surgery results in a difference in the severity of lymphedema. In this study, we compared volume percentage change between inguinal lymphadenectomy and inguino-pelvic lymphadenectomy in patients with skin cancer of the lower extremity."

We aim to provide an overview of metastatic tumours to the parotid over the past 20 years, focusing on clinicopathological analysis of 14 rare diagnoses. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first group to present the most up-to-date and largest case series on unusual metastases to the parotid. A total of 93 metastatic cases were identified from 2004 to 2023, on the pathology information system at North West London Pathology, with squamous cell carcinoma (n = 45, 48.4 %) as the most common primary, followed by malignant melanoma (n = 29, 31.2 %) and Merkel cell carcinoma (n = 4, 4.3 %). We came across 14 rare tumours that had metastasised to the parotid, including metastatic adenocarcinoma from kidney (n = 3, 3.2 %), lung (n = 3, 3.2 %) and breast (n = 1, 1.1 %), olfactory neuroblastoma (n = 3, 3.2 %), soft tissue sarcoma (n = 2, 2.2 %), small cell carcinoma (n = 1, 1,1 %) and hidradenocarcinoma (n = 1, 1.1 %). Half of all secondary neoplastic lesions (50.5 %) were found in intra-parotid nodes, while the other half (49.5 %) were found in parotid parenchyma. Our study offers valuable insights into the various tumour types that can metastasise to the parotid across a wide age range. It underscores the necessity of maintaining a broad differential diagnosis. Keeping an open mind regarding the potential primary sources of the tumour is imperative for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning."
+792,skin cancer,39446759,A Multi-level ensemble approach for skin lesion classification using Customized Transfer Learning with Triple Attention.,"Skin lesions encompass a variety of skin abnormalities, including skin diseases that affect structure and function, and skin cancer, which can be fatal and arise from abnormal cell growth. Early detection of lesions and automated prediction is crucial, yet accurately identifying responsible regions post-dominance dispersion remains a challenge in current studies. Thus, we propose a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based approach employing a Customized Transfer Learning (CTL) model and Triple Attention (TA) modules in conjunction with Ensemble Learning (EL). While Ensemble Learning has become an integral component of both Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) methodologies, a specific technique ensuring optimal allocation of weights for each model's prediction is currently lacking. Consequently, the primary objective of this study is to introduce a novel method for determining optimal weights to aggregate the contributions of models for achieving desired outcomes. We term this approach ""Information Gain Proportioned Averaging (IGPA),"" further refining it to ""Multi-Level Information Gain Proportioned Averaging (ML-IGPA),"" which specifically involves the utilization of IGPA at multiple levels. Empirical evaluation of the HAM1000 dataset demonstrates that our approach achieves 94.93% accuracy with ML-IGPA, surpassing state-of-the-art methods. Given previous studies' failure to elucidate the exact focus of black-box models on specific regions, we utilize the Gradient Class Activation Map (GradCAM) to identify responsible regions and enhance explainability. Our study enhances both accuracy and interpretability, facilitating early diagnosis and preventing the consequences of neglecting skin lesion detection, thereby addressing issues related to time, accessibility, and costs."

Recurrent mutations, particularly a proline-to-histidine substitution at position 95 (P95H), are common in neoplastic diseases. Here, we assess SRSF2's diverse functions in squamous cell carcinoma. We show that SRSF2 deletion or homozygous P95H mutation both cause extensive DNA damage leading to cell-cycle arrest. Mechanistically, SRSF2 regulates efficient bi-directional transcription of DNA replication and repair genes, independent from its function in splicing. Further, SRSF2 haploinsufficiency induces DNA damage without halting the cell cycle. Exposing mouse skin to tumor-promoting carcinogens enhances the clonal expansion of heterozygous Srsf2 P95H epidermal cells but unexpectedly inhibits tumor formation. To survive carcinogen treatment, Srsf2 P95H"

+795,skin cancer,39446132,MAIT cells: Conserved watchers on the wall.,"MAIT cells are innate-like T cells residing in barrier tissues such as the lung, skin, and intestine. Both the semi-invariant T cell receptor of MAIT cells and the restricting element MR1 are deeply conserved across mammals, indicating non-redundant functions linked to antigenic specificity. MAIT cells across species concomitantly express cytotoxicity and tissue-repair genes, suggesting versatile functions. Accordingly, MAIT cells contribute to antibacterial responses as well as to the repair of damaged barrier tissues. MAIT cells recognize riboflavin biosynthetic pathway-derived metabolites, which rapidly cross epithelial barriers to be presented by antigen-presenting cells. Changes in gut ecology during intestinal inflammation drive the expansion of strong riboflavin and MAIT ligand producers. Thus, MAIT cells may enable real-time surveillance of microbiota dysbiosis across intact epithelia and provide rapid and context-dependent responses. Here, we discuss recent findings regarding the origin and regulation of MAIT ligands and the role of MAIT cells in barrier tissues. We speculate on the potential reasons for MAIT cell conservation during evolution."

Its treatment, rather than a treatment aimed at the single lesion, is more recommended as it manages the subclinical damage and prevents the onset of a possible squamous cell carcinoma. Among the field therapies, tirbanibulin has recently been introduced with an innovative mechanism of action that determines cellular apoptosis and consequently a poor local inflammatory reaction. We present the case of an 82-year-old patient, known for previous removals of squamous cell carcinomas at the vertex and currently suffering from a large field of cancerization in the nose and scalp, to whom we proposed a sequential treatment with three cycles of tirbanibulin in contiguous areas. The treatment was well tolerated and allowed complete clearance to be obtained on the nose and > 95% on the scalp, with a reduction of the Actinic Keratosis Area and Severity Index (AKASI) from 9.4 to 1.4."
+797,skin cancer,39445993,[The delapril-indapamide combination in treatment of arterial hypertension: practical implications in light of the new guidelines.].,"The recent guidelines issued by the European Society of Hypertension reaffirmed that the degree of control of hypertension remains suboptimal worldwide. In order to increase the proportion of well-controlled patients, in addition to nonpharmacological measures, it is necessary to improve the implementation of drug therapy in the clinical practice as much as possible. Initial therapy should almost always be based on the combination, free or fixed, between ACE inhibitor drugs, or direct angiotensin II inhibitors ('sartans') and diuretics (thiazide or thiazide-like) or calcium channel blockers at the maximum recommended and well-tolerated dose. The combination of the thiazide-like diuretic indapamide with the ACE inhibitor delapril has shown, based on numerous clinical trials and meta-analyses, very good results in terms of antihypertensive efficacy, tolerability, and prevention or regression of organ damage. Indapamide is a thiazide-like diuretic also endowed with direct vasodilator effect and long duration of action. A meta-analysis of 19 randomized clinical trials demonstrated a greater reduction in the incidence of cardiac events, stroke and heart failure with thiazide-like diuretics than with thiazide diuretics. Delapril is a non-sulfhydryl ACE-inhibitor with high affinity for converting enzyme at the cardiac, pulmonary, and peripheral vascular levels. Being strongly lipophilic, delapril inhibits the ACE enzyme at the tissue level more potently than other ACE inhibitors. A peculiar feature of delapril is its weak bradykinin-enhancing effect due to its higher affinity for the C site than the N site of ACE, resulting in a lower incidence of cough and angioneurotic edema compared with other ACE inhibitors. In some meta-analyses, the pressor reduction was statistically, greater with the delapril-indapamide combination than with combinations between hydrochlorothiazide and ACE inhibitors. The combination consists of divisible tablets containing 30 mg delapril and 2.5 mg indapamide, and its pharmacological and clinical properties are not affected by simultaneous food intake. The antihypertensive efficacy of the combination, as well as its components, persists for the entire 24 hours. The recent alarming reports on the incidence of skin cancer during treatment with hydrochlorothiazide should also be a guide in clinical practice toward the preferential choice of a thiazide-like diuretic such as chlorthalidone or indapamide to replace hydrochlorothiazide."

+802,skin cancer,39445428,Radiation-Induced Macrovessel/Microvessel Disease.,"Radiation therapy (RT) is a cornerstone in cancer treatment (used in 50% of cases), yet challenges persist because damage to normal tissue through direct impact of radiation or bystander effects is inevitable. Injury of macrovessels by RT manifests as obstructive disease, which is akin to atherosclerotic disease. Historically observed in coronary arteries of patients treated for breast cancer and lymphoma, it also affects patients receiving contemporary therapy for lung and chest cancers. Moreover, radiation at various sites can lead to peripheral vascular disease. An aspect of radiation-induced injury that has received little attention is microvascular injury, which typically results from damage to the endothelium and is considered the primary driver of RT-induced toxicity in the skin, kidney, and brain. This review delves into the clinical manifestations of RT-induced vascular disease, signaling pathways, cellular targets affected by radiation injury, and preclinical models of RT-induced vascular injury.

It can also be triggered by other conditions such as dermatitis and melanoma-induced skin cancer. Delayed healing or non-healing after skin injury presents an important clinical issue; therefore, further explorations into the occurrence and development of wound healing at the cellular and molecular levels are necessary. Single-cell sequencing (SCS) is used to sequence and analyze the genetic messages of a single cell. Furthermore, SCS can accurately detect cell expression and gene sequences. The use of SCS technology has resulted in the emergence of new concepts pertaining to wound healing, making it an important tool for studying the relevant mechanisms and developing treatment strategies. This article discusses the application value of SCS technology, the effects of the latest research on skin wound healing, and the value of SCS technology in clinical applications. Using SCS to determine potential biomarkers for wound repair will serve to accelerate wound healing, reduce scar formation, optimize drug delivery, and facilitate personalized treatments."

+808,skin cancer,39444398,MIDC: Medical image dataset cleaning framework based on deep learning.,"Deep learning technology is widely used in the field of medical imaging. Among them, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are the most widely used, and the quality of the dataset is crucial for the training of CNN diagnostic models, as mislabeled data can easily affect the accuracy of the diagnostic models. However, due to medical specialization, it is difficult for non-professional physicians to judge mislabeled medical image data. In this paper, we proposed a new framework named medical image dataset cleaning (MIDC), whose main contribution is to improve the quality of public datasets by automatically cleaning up mislabeled data. The main innovations of MIDC are: firstly, the framework innovatively utilizes multiple public datasets of the same disease, relying on different CNNs to automatically recognize images and remove mislabeled data to complete the data cleaning process. This process does not rely on annotations from professional physicians and does not require additional datasets with more reliable labels; Secondly, a novel grading rule is designed to divide the datasets into high-accuracy datasets and low-accuracy datasets, based on which the data cleaning process can be performed; Thirdly, a novel data cleaning module based on CNN is designed to identify and clean low-accuracy datasets by using high-accuracy datasets. In the experiments, the validity of the proposed framework was verified by using four kinds of datasets diabetic retinal, viral pneumonia, breast tumor, and skin cancer, with results showing an increase in the average diagnostic accuracy from 71.18 % to 85.13 %, 82.50 %to 93.79 %, 85.59 %to 93.45 %, and 84.55 %to 94.21 %, respectively.

Most primary choroidal melanomas are unilateral and unifocal. Bilateral primary choroidal melanomas are considered to be a rare occurrence. Ocular melanocytosis, especially when it is bilateral, increases the incidence of bilateral primary choroidal melanoma. CASE REPORT Our patient was a 78-year-old man who presented to the Emergency Department with floaters and a reduction in visual acuity in his left eye, with an onset 7 days prior. Upon macroscopic examination, the patient displayed bilateral pigmentation on the sclera, which was consistent with ocular melanocytosis. Fundoscopy revealed a large choroidal melanoma, situated superior and nasally of the posterior pole of the left eye, and a smaller choroidal melanoma, located inferonasally, in the right eye. Ultrasonography, optical coherence tomography, fundus autofluorescence, fundus fluorescein, and indocyanine green angiographies were performed, confirming the diagnosis of simultaneous bilateral primary choroidal melanomas. CONCLUSIONS This was a rare case of bilateral ocular melanocytosis, which increased the probability of bilateral primary choroidal melanoma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case in Greece to be reported. This case illustrates the necessity of always examining the fellow eye on initial presentation and over a long follow-up. We should always bear in mind that choroidal melanoma can be a bilateral disease, albeit very rarely."

Existing droplet-based microfluidic methods produce many cell-free droplets, underutilizing bead barcodes and reagents. Combinatorial indexing on microplates is more efficient for barcoding but labor-intensive. Here we present Overloading And unpacKing (OAK), which uses a droplet-based barcoding system for initial compartmentalization followed by a second aliquoting round to achieve combinatorial indexing. We demonstrate OAK's versatility with single-cell RNA sequencing as well as paired single-nucleus RNA sequencing and accessible chromatin profiling. We further showcase OAK's performance on complex samples, including differentiated bronchial epithelial cells and primary retinal tissue. Finally, we examine transcriptomic responses of over 400,000 melanoma cells to a RAF inhibitor, belvarafenib, discovering a rare resistant cell population (0.12%). OAK's ultra-high throughput, broad compatibility, high sensitivity, and simplified procedures make it a powerful tool for large-scale molecular analysis, even for rare cells."

Most patients with suspicious skin lesions present to family medicine physicians. We aimed to evaluate the self-reported competency of family medicine residents in performing skin cancer examination (SCE) and assess the impact of different factors on their competency. All family medicine residents completed a previously validated questionnaire aimed at evaluating their skin cancer examination competency in this cross-sectional study. In total, 250 residents participated in this study. More than half of the residents never had a rotation in dermatology or received training under the supervision of a dermatologist. Approximately 70%, 72%, and 77% of residents had not observed SCE, received SCE training, and performed SCE, respectively. Although most residents were aware of the risk factors for skin cancer and the ABCD acronym for melanoma, only one out of ten residents screened their patients for these factors, enquired about changes in skin lesions, and personally practiced SCE. Only 16% of family medicine residents consider themselves competent in performing SCE. Training under the guidance of a dermatologist, SCE training, evaluating patients for cancer risk factors and any changes in moles, and SCE practice on personal level were associated with SCE competency. Multivariate analysis showed a significant association between the frequency of observing SCE and competency in performing SCE. Only 16% of family medicine residents considered themselves competent in performing SCE. The frequency of observation of SCE during residency was a significant predictor of self-reported competency in performing SCE."

In the field of medical image classification, precise identification of early-stage skin lesions is imperative for accurate diagnosis. However, deploying these algorithms on low-cost devices and attaining high-efficiency operation with minimal energy consumption poses a formidable challenge due to their intricate computational demands. This study proposes a lightweight hardware design based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) for real-time processing of skin disease classifiers on portable devices. Our skin cancer recognition processor utilizes an optimally parallel designed processing engine (PE) for global computation, which greatly reduces hardware resource utilization by multiplexing of computational unit circuits. In addition, a design approach that provides loop unrolling effectively reduces the number of data accesses, thereby reducing computational complexity and logic resource requirements. The hardware circuits in this design perform data inference in convolutional, pooling, and fully connected layers based on 16-bit floating-point numbers. Evaluation of the HAM10000 database dataset shows that the architecture achieves an average classification accuracy of 97.8 %. We are the first to implement an all-hardware FPGA-based skin cancer detection platform that offers a 3.5x speedup in recognition compared to existing skin cancer accelerators at 50 MHz while consuming only 0.48 W of power.

Permanent combined intake of potentially/actually nitrosamine-contaminated drugs appears to be key in the subsequent development of multiple cutaneous tumours, according to new findings in the literature. The localization of these tumours in areas exposed to intense solar radiation could also be seen as indirectly pointing to the presence of certain photosensitisers in the human body. Some of these nitrosamines are photocarcinogens and human carcinogens at the same time. The identification and specification of each of these genotoxic photosensitizers in drugs has yet to be further investigated in detail. The FDA identifies them currently as substances with carcinogenic potency. The clinicopathologic correlations published to date within the intake of potentially contaminated drugs are indicative of 1) the need to redefine skin cancer pathogenesis and 2) the subsequent possible introduction of complete elimination regimens against nitrosamines. We inform about another polymedication intake in a patient with arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus, which includes the following medications: gliclazide 60 mg once daily and metformin hydrochloride 850 mg once daily, both since 24 years ; sotalol hydrochloride 80 mg since 2 years; bisoprolol fumarate 5 mg since 17 years; candesartan cilexetil/hydrochlorothiazide 16 mg/ 12.5 mg since 2 years; and lercanidipine hydrochloride 20 mg also since 2 years. Within this intake, it is notable that 1) all 6 of these drugs appear in the databases for possible availability as nitroso compounds, and that 2) this is the seventh consecutive keratinocyte tumor treated surgically (in this period). In the presented patient, surgical treatment was performed using a shark pedicle island flap for BCC of the nose, which is an ideal option for tumors with location in the alar or periralar area. An optimal postoperative outcome was achieved. This article focuses on the possible role of drug-mediated photo nitrosogenesis/ carcinogenesis of skin cancer by briefly reviewing and analyzing the available literature to date."

+825,skin cancer,39440959,Skin Rejuvenation by Modulation of DNA Methylation.,"Skin aging is driven by a complex set of cellular pathways. Among these, epigenetic mechanisms have garnered particular attention, because of their sensitivity to environmental and lifestyle factors. DNA methylation represents the longest known and best understood epigenetic mechanism. We explain how DNA methylation might function as an interface between the environment and the genome of human skin. Exposures to different environmental factors and lifestyles are known to modulate age-related methylation patterns, as illustrated by their effect on DNA methylation clocks. Human skin provides a particularly well-suited tissue for understanding age-related methylation changes and it has been shown recently that modulation of DNA methylation can induce skin rejuvenation. We explain how the use of mildly demethylating agents can be safeguarded to ensure the specific removal of age-related DNA methylation changes. We also identify important areas of future research, leading to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that drive epigenetic aging and to the development of further refined intervention strategies."

This retrospective study aimed to examine the association between skin rash development during lenalidomide treatment and the prognosis of relapsed/refractory MM. All patients who received lenalidomide at 10 hospitals between July 2009 and December 2015 were included in the study. The relationship of skin rash development with disease progression and survival was evaluated. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify factors affecting disease progression or survival, including skin rash. Of the 245 patients analyzed, 70 developed skin rashes. The median progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with skin rashes was 22.4 months, whereas the median PFS for patients who did not develop skin rashes was 10.5 months (p = 0.003). The median overall survival for patients with and without skin rash was 42.6 and 24.6 months, respectively (p = 0.013). Multivariate regression analysis showed that skin rash was an independent prognostic factor for PFS (p = 0.009). In this study, patients with skin rashes during lenalidomide treatment had significantly better PFS than those without such symptoms, indicating that lenalidomide-associated skin rashes may be a predictor of clinical outcomes in patients with MM."

+831,skin cancer,39438583,Radiation dermatitis in the hairless mouse model mimics human radiation dermatitis.,"Over half of all people diagnosed with cancer receive radiation therapy. Moderate to severe radiation dermatitis occurs in most human radiation patients, causing pain, aesthetic distress, and a negative impact on tumor control. No effective prevention or treatment for radiation dermatitis exists. The lack of well-characterized, clinically relevant animal models of human radiation dermatitis contributes to the absence of strategies to mitigate radiation dermatitis. Here, we establish and characterize a hairless SKH-1 mouse model of human radiation dermatitis by correlating temporal stages of clinical and pathological skin injury. We demonstrate that a single ionizing radiation treatment of 30 Gy using 6 MeV electrons induces severe clinical grade 3 peak toxicity at 12 days, defined by marked erythema, desquamation and partial ulceration, with resolution occurring by 25 days. Histopathology reveals that radiation-induced skin injury features temporally unique inflammatory changes. Upregulation of epidermal and dermal TGF-ß1 and COX-2 protein expression occurs at peak dermatitis, with sustained epidermal TGF-ß1 expression beyond resolution. Specific histopathological variables that remain substantially high at peak toxicity and early clinical resolution, including epidermal thickening, hyperkeratosis and dermal fibroplasia/fibrosis, serve as specific measurable parameters for in vivo interventional preclinical studies that seek to mitigate radiation-induced skin injury."

The anti-cancer and antimicrobial properties were investigated. The obtained results revealed that total phenol (TP) and total flavonoid (TF) of total ethanol extract (100%) (FTE) were higher than 70% ethanol extract (SE), and these contents increased after gamma radiation with 5 kGy. The results of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the Solanum aculeastrum extracts suggested that FTE and 5 kGy-irradiated FTE can be used to control and prevent skin infections caused by MRSA and endocarditis, urinary tract infections, and prostatitis caused by Enterococcus faecalis. The FTE sample irradiated at 5 kGy showed cytotoxicity for A431 and Hct-116 cell lines similar to the control sample and higher than the toxicity revealed by the samples irradiated at 10 kGy. In normal cells (Bj-1), the toxicity was decreased after irradiation (IC50 = 31 μg/ml) compared to the non-irradiated extract (IC"

Other studies have elucidated risk factors for breast cancer-related lymphedema, such as axillary lymph node dissection and skin infection (cellulitis). Combining the current evidence base with the consensus opinion of lymphatic experts assembled at the American Cancer Society/Lymphology Association of North America Summit in October 2023, updated evidence-based risk reduction recommendations are presented for those with or at risk of breast cancer-related lymphedema. Recommendation topics include prospective surveillance, patient education, individual risk factors, exercise, blood pressure, skin care and hygiene, skin puncture and blood draws, surgical procedures, prophylactic compression, air travel, and hot climate and sauna. These recommendations will help inform education and medical choices for individuals treated for breast cancer who are at risk of or diagnosed with breast cancer-related lymphedema. More high-quality evidence is required to allow the development of risk reduction recommendations for other cancer types such as gynecological, melanoma, and head and neck. It is recommended that clinicians and organizations serving people at risk of or with lymphedema align risk reduction guidelines with the evidence-based recommendations provided within this consensus document and companion manuscripts from the American Cancer Society/Lymphology Association of North America Lymphedema Summit: Forward Momentum: Future Steps in Lymphedema Management."

+836,skin cancer,39436477,Addressing Challenges in Skin Cancer Diagnosis: A Convolutional Swin Transformer Approach.,"Skin cancer is one of the top three hazardous cancer types, and it is caused by the abnormal proliferation of tumor cells. Diagnosing skin cancer accurately and early is crucial for saving patients' lives. However, it is a challenging task due to various significant issues, including lesion variations in texture, shape, color, and size; artifacts (hairs); uneven lesion boundaries; and poor contrast. To solve these issues, this research proposes a novel Convolutional Swin Transformer (CSwinformer) method for segmenting and classifying skin lesions accurately. The framework involves phases such as data preprocessing, segmentation, and classification. In the first phase, Gaussian filtering, Z-score normalization, and augmentation processes are executed to remove unnecessary noise, re-organize the data, and increase data diversity. In the phase of segmentation, we design a new model ""Swinformer-Net"" integrating Swin Transformer and U-Net frameworks, to accurately define a region of interest. At the final phase of classification, the segmented outcome is input into the newly proposed module ""Multi-Scale Dilated Convolutional Neural Network meets Transformer (MD-CNNFormer),"" where the data samples are classified into respective classes. We use four benchmark datasets-HAM10000, ISBI 2016, PH2, and Skin Cancer ISIC for evaluation. The results demonstrated the designed framework's better efficiency against the traditional approaches. The proposed method provided classification accuracy of 98.72%, pixel accuracy of 98.06%, and dice coefficient of 97.67%, respectively. The proposed method offered a promising solution in skin lesion segmentation and classification, supporting clinicians to accurately diagnose skin cancer."

+839,skin cancer,39436192,Tubulin-Targeted Therapy in Melanoma Increases the Cell Migration Potential by Activation of the Actomyosin Cytoskeleton─An In Vitro Study.,"One of the most dangerous aspects of cancers is their ability to metastasize, which is the leading cause of death. Hence, it holds significance to develop therapies targeting the eradication of cancer cells in parallel, inhibiting metastases in cells surviving the applied therapy. Here, we focused on two melanoma cell lines─WM35 and WM266-4─representing the less and more invasive melanomas. We investigated the mechanisms of cellular processes regulating the activation of actomyosin as an effect of colchicine treatment. Additionally, we investigated the biophysical aspects of supplement therapy using Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor (Y-27632) and myosin II inhibitor ((-)-blebbistatin), focusing on the microtubules and actin filaments. We analyzed their effect on the proliferation, migration, and invasiveness of melanoma cells, supported by studies on cytoskeletal architecture using confocal fluorescence microscopy and nanomechanics using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and microconstriction channels. Our results showed that colchicine inhibits the migration of most melanoma cells, while for a small cell population, it paradoxically increases their migration and invasiveness. These changes are also accompanied by the formation of stress fibers, compensating for the loss of microtubules. Simultaneous administration of selected agents led to the inhibition of this compensatory effect. Collectively, our results highlighted that colchicine led to actomyosin activation and increased the level of cancer cell invasiveness. We emphasized that a cellular pathway of Rho-ROCK-dependent actomyosin contraction is responsible for the increased invasive potential of melanoma cells in tubulin-targeted therapy."
+840,skin cancer,39435731,P2RY6 deletion promotes UVB-induced skin carcinogenesis by activating the PI3K/AKT signal pathway.,"Our previous research has demonstrated that P2RY6 functions as an oncogene in DMBA/TPA-induced two-stage chemical skin carcinogenesis in mice. However, considering that human skin cancer is predominantly attributed to UV radiation from sunlight, additional investigations are needed to elucidate the role of P2RY6 in UVB-induced skin carcinogenesis. Surprisingly, we found that P2ry6-deficient mice exhibited marked promotion to UVB-induced skin papilloma formation compared with wild-type mice, suggesting its tumor-suppressive role in UVB-induced skin cancer. Additionally, a P2ry6 gene knockout promoted skin hyperplasia induced by short-term UVB irradiation, while UDP, the ligand of P2RY6, could inhibit the short-term UVB-induced increase of epiderma thickness in mouse skin. Furthermore, UVB irradiation could significantly upregulate P2RY6 expression in human and mouse skin cells. These results indicated that P2RY6 may play a crucial protective role in resisting the UVB-induced formation of skin tumors. At the molecular level, the loss of the P2RY6 gene inhibits the ubiquitination modification and expression of XPC after UVB irradiation in skin keratinocytes, resulting in the accumulation of CPDs (cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers). We have also demonstrated that P2RY6 deletion activates the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway both in vitro and in vivo. The CPD accumulation and acute inflammatory response enhanced by the loss of the P2RY6 gene can be reversed by an AKT inhibitor. These findings suggest that P2RY6 may act as a tumor suppressor in UVB-induced skin cancer by regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway."
+841,skin cancer,39435723,Transcriptomic analysis of genes associated with vitamin D receptor signalling reveals differences between skin cancers.,"Vitamin D activates the vitamin D receptor (VDR), which dimerizes preferentially with the retinoid X receptor-α (RXRα). This heterodimer connects with genetic elements responsive to vitamin D, inhibiting or stimulating gene activity. We performed Nanostring® analysis of VDR/RXRα to compare the mRNA expression of this heterodimer and their correlated transcriptomes in non-melanoma skin cancer (basal cell carcinomas (BCC) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCC)) and melanocytic lesions (intradermal nevi (IN), and melanomas (MM)) with control skin. To evaluate VDR, RXRα and other 22 correlated genes in BCC, SCC, IN and MM, paraffin samples had their transcriptomes analysed using Nanostring®, a platform that allows multiple mRNA analyses. There were 46 samples, including 11 BCC, 10 SCC, 10 IN, 12 MM and 3 pools of control skins. Most mRNAs differed between the lesion groups and the control group. BCC and SCC NCOR2 were upregulated; in MM and IN, RXRγ was higher than in the control group. TP53, FOXO3 and MED1 showed a significant difference when we compared the BCC group to the SCC group. Melanoma and intradermal nevi differed only in AhR. VDR and RXRα were lower than the control in all groups. The panel shows a clear difference between the non-melanocytic cancers and, on the other hand, a slight difference between the melanocytic lesions. The study of vitamin D's influence through its receptor and RXRα is an exciting issue for understanding the importance of this pathway, and the present study can impact the prevention and treatment strategies, mainly in non-melanocytic tumours."

Surgery, the cornerstone of RPS treatment, critically depends on complete resection for a favorable prognosis. The extent of resection is a crucial determinant of local control and survival. This review delves into the evolution of multidisciplinary management of localized RPS, highlighting the imperative to adapt surgical strategies to tumor histology, location, and patient functional status. We explore the principles of compartmental surgery-an extended first-line approach that involves resecting adjacent viscera for wide negative margins-and its effectiveness across different histological subtypes of RPS and more limited resections for other types. Particular emphasis is placed on the heterogeneity of the disease, as various histological subtypes exhibit distinct biological behaviors. This necessitates a shift away from a one-size-fits-all treatment approach. The review analyzes the role of different surgical strategies, focusing on histological type and location. Additionally, the potential benefits of (neo)adjuvant treatments, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, are examined, recognizing their specific histological indications and limitations. This comprehensive review consolidates recent data on surgical strategies and complementary therapies, advocating for a personalized approach tailored to histology. As understanding of the molecular and genetic underpinnings of RPS continues to evolve, so will strategies for its effective management, underscoring the need for global collaboration among specialists in this field to enhance our collective knowledge and treatment methodologies."

In this study, a procedure for the determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in human urine (acetone, acetonitrile, dimethylsulfide, dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, hexane, benzene, toluene, 2-butanone, 2-pentanone, pentanal) has been described including sample preparation using preconcentration of analytes in sorbent tubes followed by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Fractional factorial design and constrained surfaces design were used to optimize preconcentration of VOCs in sorbent tubes. The procedure was validated by analysis of synthetic urine containing VOC standards in the concentration range of 1-5000 ng/mL. Optimized procedure was applied to analyze urine samples of 89 healthy volunteers and 85 patients with cancer of various localizations: 42 patients with lung cancer, 25 - colon, 3 - stomach, 2 - prostate, 2 - esophageal, 2 - pancreas, 2 - kidney, 1 - ovarian, 1 - cervical, 1 - skin, 1 - liver. Concentrations of 2-butanone, 2-pentanone, acetonitrile, and benzene were found different in urine of patients with cancer and healthy individuals. Influence of cancer localization and tumor, nodule, metastasis stage on urine VOC profile was considered. The approach of using ratios of VOCs to the main ones instead of concentrations was considered. A diagnostic model based on significantly different VOC ratios was created to classify healthy individuals and patients with cancer using artificial neural network (ANN). The model was validated during construction by means of 3-fold cross-validation. Average area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve on test dataset was 0.886. Average sensitivity and specificity of the created model were 91 % and 82 %."

+848,skin cancer,39433949,Mitochondrial mechanotransduction through MIEF1 coordinates the nuclear response to forces.,"Tissue-scale architecture and mechanical properties instruct cell behaviour under physiological and diseased conditions, but our understanding of the underlying mechanisms remains fragmentary. Here we show that extracellular matrix stiffness, spatial confinements and applied forces, including stretching of mouse skin, regulate mitochondrial dynamics. Actomyosin tension promotes the phosphorylation of mitochondrial elongation factor 1 (MIEF1), limiting the recruitment of dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) at mitochondria, as well as peri-mitochondrial F-actin formation and mitochondrial fission. Strikingly, mitochondrial fission is also a general mechanotransduction mechanism. Indeed, we found that DRP1- and MIEF1/2-dependent fission is required and sufficient to regulate three transcription factors of broad relevance-YAP/TAZ, SREBP1/2 and NRF2-to control cell proliferation, lipogenesis, antioxidant metabolism, chemotherapy resistance and adipocyte differentiation in response to mechanical cues. This extends to the mouse liver, where DRP1 regulates hepatocyte proliferation and identity-hallmark YAP-dependent phenotypes. We propose that mitochondria fulfil a unifying signalling function by which the mechanical tissue microenvironment coordinates complementary cell functions."

(Leguminosae). This study assesses the in vitro anticancer efficacy of Flos Sophorae flower extract (FSFE) against the human hepatocarcinoma cell line HepG2, juxtaposed with its effects on normal human liver L02 cells. Cell viability was assessed using the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay to evaluate the effects of fruit skin flavonoid extract (FSFE) on cellular proliferation. The results indicated that FSFE significantly inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 liver cancer cells, with an inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 117.98 μg/mL, while having minimal effects on normal liver L02 cells. HPLC analysis identified rutin and quercetin as components of FSFE, both recognized for their antioxidant properties. The flavonoids in Flos Sophorae exhibit potent inhibitory effects on liver cancer cells, indicating potential as a natural anticancer agent. The findings support the continued development and research into the therapeutic applications of these compounds."

The problem is compounded by the scarcity of relevant human peripheral tissues, including skin, nerves, and dorsal root ganglia. Efforts to obtain such samples are accelerating, increasing the need for standardisation across laboratories. In this white paper, we report on a consensus meeting attended by neuropathic pain experts, designed to accelerate protocol alignment and harmonization of studies involving relevant peripheral tissues. The meeting was held in London in March 2024 and attended by 28 networking partners, including industry and patient representatives. We achieved consensus on minimal recommended phenotyping, harmonised wet laboratory protocols, statistical design, reporting, and data sharing. Here, we also share a variety of relevant standard operating procedures as supplementary protocols. We envision that our recommendations will help unify human tissue research in the field and accelerate our understanding of how abnormal interactions between sensory neurons and their local peripheral environment contribute towards neuropathic pain."

+855,skin cancer,39431729,Dissolving microneedles: standing out in melanoma treatment.,"Melanoma is one of the most significant and dangerous superficial skin tumors with a high fatality rate, thanks to its high invasion rate, drug resistance and frequent metastasis properties. Unfortunately, researchers for decades have demonstrated that the outcome of using conventional therapies like chemotherapy and immunotherapy with normal drug delivery routes, such as an oral route to treat melanoma was not satisfactory. The severe adverse effects, slow drug delivery efficiency and low drug accumulation at targeted malignancy sites all lead to poor anti-cancer efficacy and terrible treatment experience. As a novel transdermal drug delivery system, microneedles (MNs) have emerged as an effective solution to help improve the low cure rate of melanoma. The excellent characteristics of MNs make it easy to penetrate the stratum corneum (SC) and then locally deliver the drug towards the lesion without drug leakage to mitigate the occurrence of side effects and increase the drug accumulation. Therefore, loading chemotherapeutic drugs or immunotherapy drugs in MNs can address the problems mentioned above, and MNs play a crucial role in improving the curative effect of conventional treatment methods. Notably, novel tumor therapies like photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) have shown good application prospects in the treatment of melanoma, and MNs provide a valid platform for the combination of conventional therapies and novel therapies by encompassing different therapeutic materials in the matrix of MNs. The synergistic effect of multiple therapies can enhance the therapeutic efficacy compared to single therapies, showing great potential in melanoma treatment. Dissolving MNs have been the most commonly used microneedles in the treatment of melanoma in recent years, mainly because of their simple fabrication procedure and enough drug loading. So, considering the increasing use of dissolving MNs, this review collects research studies published in the last four years (2020-2024) that have rarely been included in other reviews to update the progress of applications of dissolving MNs in anti-melanoma treatment, especially in synergistic therapies. This review also presents current design and fabrication methods of dissolving MNs; the limitations of microneedle technology in the treatment of melanoma are comprehensively discussed. This review can provide valuable guidance for their future development."

Characteristic islands of sparing are usually observed. A standardised therapeutic approach is lacking owing to the infrequent occurrence of this disease. However, anti-interleukin (IL)-17 and anti-IL-23 therapies have recently emerged as effective therapies in patients affected by PRP, with improvements in severity scores, change in severity of erythema, scaling, and thickness of lesions. Here, we report a 43-year old, female breast cancer who developed severe refractory PRP, which greatly impacted her quality of life. The patient experienced a marked improvement after treatment with tildrakizumab. Treatment was stopped after one year, and the three-year follow-up did not show relapse. In conclusion, 52- week treatment with tildrakizumab, an IL-23 antagonist, proved to be a favourable treatment option for PRP, leading to good patient adherence, improvement in quality of life, and long-term follow-up without relapse."

It is a surgical complication that can impact people's quality of life after plastic surgeries. A 44-year-old female with right breast cancer presented with three recurrent episodes of severe pruritic cutaneous eczematous eruption over her right breast extending down to her trunk and vulva each time soon after her multiple breast surgeries. She was labeled as having allergies to several intravenous antibiotics received perioperatively. She was then patch tested with a positive reaction to bacitracin, a component of a modified double antibiotic solution used for pocket irrigation intraoperatively. It highlights the need for plastic surgeons to consider ACD to bacitracin in patients with dermatitis soon after having bacitracin for pocket irrigation or implant soaking during breast surgeries. Comprehensive patch testing can delineate the cause of surgery-related ACD."

BCC in situ of the skin was previously referred to as a superficial BCC. A review of the world literature has revealed 10 cutaneous BCCs in situ that have been described in nine patients but likely reflect a more general phenomenon. The neoplasm typically presents as an asymptomatic red plaque on the abdomen, upper extremity, back, and chest. Pathologic changes frequently show confluent tumor cells along the epidermal basal layer or superficial aggregates of neoplastic cells that are contiguous with the epidermis and extend into the dermis. Genomic evaluation has been performed in neoplasms from one individual with cutaneous BCC in situ and metastatic BCC; like other variants of BCC, an aberration of the "

The liver, peritoneum, and, very rarely, the skin are the sites of pancreatic metastases. Cutaneous metastasis is rare, with scalp metastasis being seldomly found. We report the case of an elderly woman who initially presented with ulcerated scalp swellings. The immunohistochemistry analysis of the swollen scalp confirmed the presence of a far-metastasized adenocarcinoma. Imaging of the abdomen performed due to increasing cholestatic jaundice revealed adenocarcinoma located at the head of the pancreas. Cholestatic jaundice was treated by trans-biliary percutaneous drainage. She is currently on a chemotherapy regimen. The patient had a follow-up appointment one month ago for the fourth cycle of gemcitabine and paclitaxel and will continue to follow up until eight cycles of chemotherapy sessions. Cutaneous metastases resulting from pancreatic cancer are a rare occurrence and may occasionally present as the only visible symptom; therefore, they should be included in the differential diagnosis of skin lesions."

These limitations encompass inadequate compliance among patients and acute gastrointestinal side effects. However, the skin's intrinsic layer can frequently hinder the percutaneous dispersion of RA medications, thus mitigating the efficiency of drug delivery. To circumvent this constraint, we developed a strontium ranelate (SrR)-loaded alginate (ALG) phototherapeutic hydrogel to assess its effectiveness in combating RA.

However, current understandings about the in vivo fate of i.p.-administered drug remains controversial owing to lack of reliable investigation tools. This work presents a nanoparticle-labeling strategy based on aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) probes in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window, which can eliminate the interference of unbound probes and allow for non-invasive tracking of nanoparticles in deep tissues. Our results strongly evidence a size-dependent absorption and biodistribution of the i.p.-administered polymeric nanocarriers (PNs) with particle sizes ranging from 30 to 1000 nm both in vivo and ex vivo, and moreover provide a clear visualization of lymphatic transportation and lymph node retention of integral PNs.

The distal radius is the second most common location affected, accounting for 10% to 12% of cases. Complications of poor soft tissue healing are rare in the distal radius, owing to its rich blood supply. However, the curettage procedure and use of bone cement and external fixation can affect the local blood supply. CASE REPORT We present a rare case of a 24-year-old woman with no significant medical history who underwent surgery at a local hospital to treat a giant cell tumor of the radius. During postoperative wound dressing changes, a 4×3-cm area of flushed skin color with a small blister and reduced local sensation was found on the dorsal side of the wrist. The skin condition worsened despite treatment at the surgical outpatient clinic, leading to referral to scar specialist outpatient treatment. Examination revealed a well-healed surgical scar on the palmar side of the wrist, but a skin defect with necrotic tissue and tendon exposure on the dorsal side. The diagnosis was postoperative soft tissue necrosis of the skin with a giant cell tumor of the bone. CONCLUSIONS This case report discusses the management of chronic non-healing postoperative wounds in giant cell tumors of the distal radius. It emphasizes the importance of appropriate dressing changes, selecting suitable dressings, nutritional support, and effective nurse-patient communication. The case serves as an example of best practices for managing these types of wounds."

HER2/neu is a well characterized biomarker in breast cancer for which effective anti-HER2/neu therapies are readily available. We constructed a lentivirus encoding c-erb-B2, an animal (rat) homolog to HER2/neu. This was used to transfect B16 melanoma in vitro for use in an orthotopic preclinical mouse model, which resulted in expression of rat c-erb-B2 as a neoantigen target for anti-c-erb-B2 monoclonal antibody (7.16.4). The c-erb-B2-expressing melanoma was designated B16/neu. 7.16.4 produced statistically significant in vivo anti-tumor responses against B16/neu. This effect was mediated by NK-cell antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. To further model human melanoma (which expresses < 5% HER2/neu), our c-erb-B2 encoding lentivirus was used to inoculate naïve (wild-type) B16 tumors in vivo, resulting in successful c-erb-B2 expression. When combined with 7.16.4, anti-tumor responses were again demonstrated where approximately 40% of mice treated with c-erb-B2 lentivirus and 7.16.4 achieved complete clinical response and long-term survival. For the first time, we demonstrated a novel strategy to repurpose c-erb-B2 as a neoantigen target for melanoma. Our findings are particularly significant in the contemporary setting where newer anti-HER2/neu antibody-drug therapies have shown increased efficacy."
+876,skin cancer,39426974,Sprayable inflammasome-inhibiting lipid nanorods in a polymeric scaffold for psoriasis therapy.,"Localized delivery of inflammasome inhibitors in phagocytic macrophages could be promising for psoriasis treatment. The present work demonstrates the development of non-spherical lipid nanoparticles, mimicking pathogen-like shapes, consisting of an anti-inflammatory inflammasome inhibiting lipid (pyridoxine dipalmitate) as a trojan horse. The nanorods inhibit inflammasome by 3.8- and 4.5-fold compared with nanoellipses and nanospheres, respectively. Nanorods reduce apoptosis-associated speck-like protein and lysosomal rupture, restrain calcium influx, and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species. Dual inflammasome inhibitor (NLRP3/AIM-2-IN-3) loaded nanorods cause synergistic inhibition by 21.5- and 59-folds compared with nanorods and free drug, respectively alongside caspase-1 inhibition. The NLRP3/AIM-2-IN-3 nanorod when transformed into a polymeric scaffold, simultaneously and effectively inhibits RNA levels of NLRP3, AIM2, caspase-1, chemokine ligand-2, gasdermin-D, interleukin-1β, toll-like receptor 7/ 8, and IL-17A by 6.4-, 1.6-, 2.0-, 13.0-, 4.2-, 24.4-, 4.3-, and 1.82-fold, respectively in psoriatic skin in comparison to Imiquimod positive control group in an in-vivo psoriasis-like mice model."
+877,skin cancer,39426760,Electroporation-derived melanoma extracellular particles activate fibroblasts.,"Although the pulse electric field (PEF) has been used in electrochemotherapy (ECT) for many years, the kinetics and profile of extracellular particles (EPs) released as a result of reversible electroporation have yet to be studied. It also needs to be clarified whether and how the profile of released EPs depends on the parameters of the applied PEF. The presented studies investigated the effect of EPs released from human melanoma cells after various parameters of reversible electroporation on markers indicating EP-mediated transformation of normal fibroblasts into tumor-associated fibroblasts. The expression levels of the vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and changes in the expression of phosphor-histone H3 (pHH3), a biomarker specific for cells in mitosis, cell viability, and the migration capacity of the studied fibroblast cells, were analyzed. EPs were isolated from two commercial malignant melanoma cell lines previously subjected to reversible electroporation. Human primary fibroblasts (HPFs) were selected for EPs exposure. It was observed that after incubation with melanoma-derived EPs, HPFs showed differences in cell viability, migration capacity, VCAM-1, pHH3, and N-cadherin expression, depending on PEF parameters and the grade of melanoma cells. This study highlights that small extracellular particles (sEPs) from cancer cells can promote metastasis by carrying specific signals that lead to the upregulation of molecules like FAK, MMP-9, and N-cadherin in recipient cells."

By combining the customizable sgRNA with dCas9, researchers can inhibit specific gene expression (CRISPR interference, CRISPRi) or activate the expression of a target gene (CRISPR activation, CRISPRa). In this review, we present the principles and recent advancements of these CRISPR technologies, as well as their delivery vectors. We also explore their applications in stem cell engineering and regenerative medicine, with a focus on in vitro stem cell fate manipulation and in vivo treatments. These include the prevention of retinal and muscular degeneration, neural regeneration, bone regeneration, cartilage tissue engineering, and the treatment of blood, skin, and liver diseases. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges of translating CRISPR technologies into regenerative medicine and provide future perspectives.

However, a 2015 Food and Drug Administration investigation demonstrated that they contain unsafe levels of inorganic arsenic. Inorganic arsenic exposure has been linked to serious health issues including skin, lung, and bladder cancer. Smaller children are put at higher risk due to the increased arsenic-to-weight ratio compared to adults, threatening their development in multiple ways. Other thickeners offer cost-effective, safer alternatives. With this communication, we aim to raise awareness of this issue within the otolaryngology practice thereby bringing us abreast of the best practices of the pediatric and gastrointestinal medical societies who have recommended against the use of rice for thickening feeds, instead advocating for alternate natural thickening agents like wheat or oatmeal."

We selected pediatric cases of CSTS diagnosed between 2000 and 2019 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Survival rates were calculated using Kaplan-Meier methods. We performed univariate analyses with the log-rank test and multivariate survival analyses using Cox proportional-hazards models to determine factors affecting overall survival (OS). Additionally, we constructed a predictive nomogram based on the outcomes of the Cox regression. A total of 148 pediatric patients with CSTS were reviewed. The median age at diagnosis was 13 years (range: 0-18 years). Prognostically, tumors located on the extremities showed better outcomes compared to those on the head, neck, or trunk. Among the histological types, angiosarcoma had the lowest five-year survival rate at 51.3%, which was substantially lower compared to fibrous histiocytoma and leiomyosarcoma. Cox regression analysis highlighted surgical intervention as the only significant independent prognostic factor for OS, with an increased risk of mortality observed in patients not undergoing surgery. Additionally, patients with distant-stage disease exhibited significantly lower survival rates than those with localized conditions. Pediatric CSTS represents a diverse and infrequent group of tumors, predominantly fibrous histiocytoma and leiomyosarcoma. Surgery was identified as the crucial determinant of survival, underscoring its role in effectively managing these patients."

Oyster hydrolysate (OH), as a functional food, has been reported for anti-cancer, anti-oxidant and anti-apoptotic effects. This study investigated the underlying mechanism of OH effect on UVB-induced skin aging in SKH1 hairless mice. Mice were exposed to UVB three times per week while they were fed with a normal diet or diet containing OH for 10 weeks. Additionally, a randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled clinical trial was performed to investigate the OH effect on human skin moisturizing to evaluate its efficacy and safety. UVB exposure increased parameters of skin aging; dehydration, transepidermal water loss, and macroscopic dorsal skin lesions. OH significantly reduced these features of skin aging. Histological analysis demonstrated that OH decreased skin epidermal and dermal thickness and collagen degradation induced by UVB. OH significantly reduced ROS production, suppressed macrophage activation and neutrophil infiltration, and downregulated pro-inflammatory cytokine production. OH improved skin barrier function by increasing the expression of filaggrin, aquaporin-3, and hyaluronic acid synthesis enzymes and promoting recovery from skin damage. Importantly, the results from a human clinical trial demonstrated that OH improved skin moisturization and integrity with no side effects. Taken together, OH supplementation ameliorates skin damage via anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and enhances skin hydration and barrier function. OH has a therapeutic potential for skin photoaging."

Through cell adhesion, cancer cell selective capture, and flow cytometry techniques, the binding efficiency of mammalian-derived collagens (bovine Achilles tendon collagen, porcine skin collagen) and fish-derived collagens (turbot skin collagen, grass carp skin collagen, mandarin fish skin collagen) to cancer cells (MCF-7 breast cancer cells) and normal cells (human umbilical vein endothelial cells, HUVECs) was analyzed and compared. The feasibility of different source collagens as probes for recognition of MCF-7 cells was explored in vitro. The results indicated that mammalian-derived collagens had a superior advantage over fish-derived collagens in recognizing MCF-7 cells, with bovine Achilles tendon collagen achieving a capture rate of up to 64.7 % in a multicellular co-culture system. Furthermore, in vivo imaging of BALB/c tumor-bearing mice confirmed the high-efficiency targeted recognition performance of the bovine Achilles tendon collagen probe for MCF-7 cells."

They typically present as a pink or red papule with a surrounding thin moat on the palms and soles. We report a case of poroma with histopathologic features reminiscent of syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP). A 70-year-old woman presented with a 2.0 cm pedunculated nodule on the left suprapubic abdomen. Histopathologically, the lesion predominantly displayed features of a conventional poroma but also included areas with endophytic invaginations lined by large, plump epithelioid cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and occasional decapitation secretion, alongside a stroma rich in plasma cells-characteristics suggestive of SCAP. However, definitive bilayers with myoepithelial cells were not observed. Immunohistochemical studies revealed that the tumor cells were positive for TRPS1 (particularly around SCAP-like areas) and CEA (indicating ductal differentiation), but negative for BRAF V600E and NUT. The diagnosis of poroma with apocrine differentiation mimicking SCAP was favored. This unusual morphologic variation in poromas is rare, with fewer than 5 cases documented in the literature. These SCAP-like features likely represent a variation within the morphologic spectrum of poromas rather than the presence of 2 synchronous tumors. Our case highlights the importance of recognizing such variations in poroid neoplasms to ensure accurate diagnosis."
+895,skin cancer,39422527,"Understanding and managing locally advanced basal cell carcinoma: insights into pathogenesis, therapeutic strategies, and the role of hedgehog pathway inhibitors.","Understanding and managing locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is crucial given its substantial prevalence and potential for local tissue destruction. While BCC typically exhibits low metastatic potential, its high incidence underscores the need for enhanced therapeutic strategies. Locally advanced BCC presents unique challenges, often necessitating aggressive interventions to prevent disfigurement and functional impairment. The emergence of hedgehog pathway inhibitors (HHIs) offers promising therapeutic avenues by targeting aberrant hedgehog signaling, a key driver in BCC pathogenesis. Thus, elucidating the pathogenesis of locally advanced BCC and exploring the role of HHIs are critical endeavors in effectively managing this prevalent carcinoma. Epidemiologically, BCC primarily affects individuals with fair skin and chronic sun exposure, with an increasing incidence noted among younger age groups. Risk factors include UV radiation exposure, familial history of skin cancer, immunosuppression, and genetic syndromes such as basal cell nevus syndrome and xeroderma pigmentosum. Pathogenetically, BCC arises from cells in the skin's epidermis, with hedgehog pathway activation being a primary genetic driver, involving mutations in PTCH1 and SMO. Resistance to hedgehog inhibitors may occur due to genetic changes, complicating treatment strategies. BCC is characterized by low immunogenicity, which hinders immune response and contributes to treatment challenges. Enhanced understanding of the epidemiology, risk factors, and pathogenesis of locally advanced BCC, along with the development of targeted therapeutic approaches such as hedgehog pathway inhibitors, is essential for effectively managing this prevalent carcinoma and improving patient outcomes."

While exposure to ultraviolet radiation is a key environmental risk factor for melanoma, up to ~10% of patients report a family history of melanoma, and ~1% have a strong family history. The understanding of causal mutations in melanoma has been critical to the development of novel targeted therapies that have contributed to improved outcomes for late-stage patients. Here, we review current knowledge of the genes affected by familial melanoma mutations and their partial overlap with driver genes commonly mutated in sporadic melanoma development. One theme linking a set of susceptibility loci/genes is the regulation of skin pigmentation and suntanning. The largest functional set of susceptibility variants, typically with high penetrance, includes CDKN2A, RB1, and telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) mutations, associated with attenuation of cell senescence.

Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (TROP2) is a cell-surface protein that is widely expressed in various tumours, where it exerts significant influence over critical processes such as tumour cell growth, apoptosis, migration, invasion and metastasis. Sacituzumab govitecan, an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting TROP2, is emerging as a promising strategy for anticancer therapy. In this study, we investigated TROP2 expression in cSCC tissues from 51 patients and evaluated its function in the A431 human SCC cell line. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed TROP2 expression on the plasma membrane of cSCC tissues and A431 cells. A431 cells showed sensitivity to sacituzumab govitecan with a significant concentration-dependent decrease in viable cell number. In addition, Knockdown of TROP2 resulted in decreased expression of cyclin D1 and BCL-2, along with reduced cell viability. Knockdown of TROP2 also resulted in decreased expression of vimentin, along with reduced migratory capacity. These findings suggest that TROP2 plays a crucial role in cSCC cell proliferation and migration, and highlight the potential of sacituzumab govitecan as a promising therapeutic option for cSCC."

+904,skin cancer,39421737,The many faces of autoimmune-mediated melanocyte destruction in melanoma.,"Melanoma is the most severe form of skin cancer with an incidence that is increasing all over the world. Melanoma cells derive from normal melanocytes and share different melanocyte-specific antigens, the same antigens against which an immune reaction develops in vitiligo, a skin disease characterized by autoimmune-mediated melanocyte destruction. The purpose of this review is to present the autoimmune-mediated melanocyte destruction associated with melanoma development, progression and treatment. Patients with vitiligo seem to have a lower chance of developing melanoma. On the other hand, patients with melanoma can develop depigmented lesions even at distant sites from the primary tumor, defined as melanoma-associated leukoderma (MAL). Drug-associated leukoderma (DAL) was also described in melanoma patients treated with immunotherapy or targeted therapy and it seems to be a favorable prognostic factor. Clinically, MAL and DAL can be diagnosed as vitiligo and there are few differences between these three entities. In this review, the incidence of DAL in melanoma patients treated with different therapies was researched in the literature and patient outcome was recorded, with studies showing a prolonged disease-free survival in melanoma patients with DAL, treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Further studies are however needed to understand the dynamics of autoimmune-mediated melanocyte destruction."

In the summer of 2023, a self-reported questionnaire was posted on the social media account of two high schools, a university, some industrial companies and among the teenage children of a dermatology clinic. Descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the reasons for sun exposure behavior, sun protection measures and the frequency of sunburn among individuals aged 15 to 25 year. A total of 517 young individuals completed the questionnaire. It was found that 43.5% use a hat as a means of sun protection, and only 10% try to limit their exposure to the sun. Nevertheless, 78.7% indicate the use of sun cream, 61.7% expose themselves frequently or very frequently to the sun, and 51.2% exposed themselves to the sun for tanning. Young females were statistically more prone to tan [odds ratio (OR), 2.95; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.95-4.46] P=0.03 than males. Males exposed themselves to a 3-fold greater extent during recreational activities (OR, 2.98; 95% CI, 1.56-5.69) P=0,025, compared to females. On the whole, the present study demonstrates that young individuals aged 15 to 25 years are exposing themselves too frequently to the sun. A large proportion of individuals still wishes to acquire a tan. Even if the large majority of individuals uses sunscreen, the majority of these do not protect themselves correctly since they report becoming sunburnt frequently."

Accumulated evidence reports on the failure of some neoplastic cells to convert mannose-6-phosphate into fructose-6-phosphate, thereby impairing tumor growth in cells displaying low levels of mannose-6-phosphate isomerase (MPI). Thus, we performed functional analyses and profiled the proteome landscape and the repertoire of substrates of proteases (degradome) of melanoma cell lines with distinct mutational backgrounds submitted to treatment with mannose. Our results suggest a significant rearrangement in the proteome and degradome of melanoma cell lines upon mannose treatment including the activation of catabolic pathways (such as protein turnover) and differences in protein N-terminal acetylation. Even though MPI protein abundance and gene expression status are not prognostic markers, perturbation in the network caused by an exogenous monosaccharide source (i.e., mannose) significantly affected the downstream interconnected biological circuitry. Therefore, as reported in this study, the proteomic/degradomic mapping of mannose downstream effects due to the metabolic rewiring caused by the functional status of the MPI enzyme could lead to the identification of specific molecular players from affected signaling circuits in melanoma."
+909,skin cancer,39420704,Immediate Breast Reconstruction for Inflammatory Breast Carcinoma: A Scoping Review.,"Inflammatory breast carcinoma (IBC) is an aggressive form of breast cancer involving skin lymphatics. Breast reconstruction traditionally has been delayed in IBC. Immediate reconstruction has been described in select patients. Studies evaluating the reconstructive and oncologic safety of immediate breast reconstruction in this patient population are limited and retrospective. The purpose of this study is to assess the current body of literature on immediate breast reconstruction in IBC patients to identify knowledge gaps. A scoping review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Cochrane databases. Original articles that evaluated patients diagnosed with IBC who underwent immediate breast reconstruction were included. The search yielded 821 articles, of which 9 articles containing 1429 IBC patients were included for analysis. Immediate implant-based reconstruction occurred in 12.2% (174/1429) of patients. Immediate autologous reconstruction occurred in 19.0% (272/1429). Immediate reconstruction with both autologous and implant-based techniques was 4.5% (64/1429). Reconstruction type was not reported for 63.0% (899/1429) of patients. Postoperative complications occurred in 1.8% (26/1429) of patients. Local cancer recurrence was 14.3% (3/21) at 18.9 months. The mortality rate was 32.4% (131/404) at 22 months. Performance of immediate breast reconstruction can be safely performed from a reconstructive standpoint in select patients."

Cancer-associated stroma (CAS) plays a crucial role in tumour progression, but a detailed understanding of CAS in canine melanoma is missing. To assess stromal reprogramming, we analysed CAS from 21 CMM, 14 CCM and normal stroma from 10 skin and 9 oral mucosa samples by laser-capture microdissection followed by RNA sequencing. Results were assessed in relation to subtypes, prognostic factors including mitotic count (MC), ulceration, necrosis, pigmentation and immune cell infiltration (CD3, CD20 and CD68), scored using immunohistochemistry and RNA in situ hybridisation. Stromal reprogramming was evident in both subtypes but significantly more pronounced in CMM. Immune-excluded tumours exhibited higher MC than desert/cold ones. MC strongly correlated with genes associated with B-cells, T-helper cells and CTLA4 in CCM, suggesting CAS reprogramming to depend on tumour malignancy. Finally, we identify an immune-suppressive stromal signature in a subset of CMM characterised by the downregulation of key immune checkpoints and pathways. Together, these findings provide a solid foundation for understanding the role of CAS in canine melanoma, specific to cutaneous and mucosal subtypes."

+922,skin cancer,39418568,Diagnosing Common Benign Skin Tumors.,"Patients commonly present to family physicians with skin findings, and distinguishing common benign skin tumors from potentially malignant tumors is important. Benign skin tumors can often be diagnosed by their history, distribution, and characteristic morphology. A biopsy or excision is indicated if there is diagnostic uncertainty or the lesion undergoes uncharacteristic or rapid change. A keratoacanthoma is a dome-shaped nodule with a central crater and can be difficult to distinguish from squamous cell carcinomas even with dermoscopy. Pilar cysts are typically benign, but rapidly growing types could have malignant qualities. Dermoid cysts, depending on their location, can have intracranial extension if untreated. Although dermatofibromas and seborrheic keratoses are benign, atypical presentations must be differentiated from melanomas. Sebaceous hyperplasia can mimic early basal cell carcinoma. Treatment options for cherry angiomas, acrochordons, slow-growing pilar cysts, and dermatofibromas should be individualized to skin type, lesion characteristics, and the patient's cosmetic preference. Generally, excision is the treatment of choice for keratoacanthomas, rapidly proliferating pilar cysts, and dermoid cysts. Cherry angiomas are treated with laser therapy and sebaceous hyperplasia with electrodesiccation. Common treatments for acrochordons and seborrheic keratoses are shave excision and cryotherapy. Pyogenic granulomas sometimes self-involute but bleed easily and often recur at the original site. They generally respond to shave excision and electrodesiccation. In patients with darker skin, treatment with cryotherapy and laser therapy should include discussions about hypopigmentation risk."

Complex decongestive therapy involves an intensive volume reduction phase (Phase I) followed by a maintenance phase (Phase II). The aim of the maintenance phase is to promote life-long control of lymphedema through use of self-management strategies and the provision of ongoing reduction therapies as needed. Compression therapies are the mainstay of lymphedema self-management. Poor adherence to self-management practices has been associated with increased volume and progression of lymphedema to more advanced stages, supporting the importance of education and regular monitoring to promote adherence to the Phase II maintenance recommendations. In this editorial, we provide consensus recommendations on the essential components of the maintenance phase, including education, skin care practices, managing infection/cellulitis, compression therapies, health and weight management, exercise, and ongoing follow-up care."
+924,skin cancer,39417927,Comprehensive Next Generation Sequencing Reveals that Purported Primary Squamous Cell Carcinomas of the Parotid Gland are Genetically Heterogeneous.,"Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is one of the most common malignancies involving the parotid gland, but it has been recognized that the vast majority of parotid SCC represents metastases, especially from the ipsilateral facial skin. Bona fide primary SCC of the parotid is so rare that it is unclear whether it truly exists at all. We sought to molecularly characterize cases diagnosed as primary parotid gland SCC to see if they possess a unique genetic makeup.We identified cases in our archives which had been diagnosed as primary SCC of the parotid gland. In all cases, metastatic disease was excluded by a thorough history and physical examination. Cases with histologic evidence of a precursor neoplasm (e.g., carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma) were also excluded. Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) was attempted on all cases.Six cases diagnosed as primary parotid SCC were identified, arising in 4 males and 2 females ranging from 8 to 73 years (mean, 51.8 years). All cases exhibited keratinization and unequivocal invasion. Four of 6 appeared to be arising from cystically dilated ducts. Five of 6 exhibited well-developed cellular atypia; the remaining case, while cytologically bland, demonstrated perineural invasion. Targeted NGS was successful in 5 of 6 cases. Two SCC harbored several mutations in a mutational profile reminiscent of SCCs seen in other organs. One case harbored YAP1::MAML2, a fusion previously reported in porocarcinoma and other neoplasms. One case harbored IRF2BP2::RUNX2, and presumably represents keratocystoma or SCC ex-keratocystoma. Finally, one case an increase of C > T mutations consistent with ultraviolet damage, suggesting that this case represented a cryptic metastasis from cutaneous SCC.Our analysis did not confirm a unifying genetic signature for purported primary parotid SCC. Indeed, our findings suggest that true primary parotid gland SCC is even rarer than already believed. In our 5 cases with results, NGS findings demonstrated that one was likely a keratocystoma, one a cryptic metastasis from a cutaneous SCC, and one a porocarcinoma, either metastatic or primary. The two remaining cases had complex genotypes reminiscent of SCCs from other sites. This may be the signature of genuine parotid primary SCC, but metastasis from an SCC from another organ cannot be excluded. Accordingly, a diagnosis of primary parotid gland SCC should be viewed with skepticism."

However, it is worth noting that UV radiation holds potential for cancer treatment as a relatively high-energy electromagnetic wave. With the help of nanomaterials, the role of UV radiation has caught increasing attention in cancer treatment. In this review, we briefly summarized types of UV-induced cancers, including malignant melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, Merkel cell carcinoma. Importantly, we discussed the primary mechanisms underlying UV carcinogenesis, including mutations by DNA damage, immunosuppression, inflammation and epigenetic alterations. Historically limited by its shallow penetration depth, the introduction of nanomaterials has dramatically transformed the utilization of UV light in cancer treatment. The direct effect of UV light itself generally leads to the suppression of cancer cell growth and the initiation of apoptosis and ferroptosis. It can also be utilized to activate photosensitizers for reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, sensitize radiotherapy and achieve controlled drug release. Finally, we comprehensively weigh the significant risks and limitations associated with the therapeutic use of UV radiation. And the contradictory effect of UV exposure in promoting and inhibiting tumor has been discussed. This review provides clues for potential clinical therapy as well as future study directions in the UV radiation field. The precise delivery and control of UV light or nanomaterials and the wavelength as well as dose effects of UV light are needed for a thorough understanding of UV radiation."

While BCC is more common, cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) is significant due to its higher mortality rate. These patients can be treated, but recurrence, metastasis and mortality may occur in such patients. Various environmental, phenotypic and genotypic factors, especially ultraviolet (UV) radiations, play a role in the etiology of BCC and CMM. Histopathological examination continues to be the ""gold standard"" in their diagnosis. Spexin (SPX) and DARS2 are newly discovered proteins linked to many diseases, including cancer. These proteins may have an effect on the development and expression of skin cancers such as BCC and CMM. In this study, we evaluated the potential of SPX and DARS2 expressions as immunohistochemical biomarkers in the differential diagnosis of BCC and CMM. This study was conducted retrospectively using samples taken from the pathology laboratory. A total of 180 patient samples were used. The control group consisted of healthy skin tissues of the patients, and the other groups consisted of BCC and CMM tissues of the same patients. Tissue samples of all three groups were evaluated immunohistochemically with SPX and DARS2. The immunoreactivity of SPX was found to be higher in BCC and CMM tissue samples than in healthy skin tissues in the control group. DARS2 immunoreactivity was found to be higher in CMM tissues compared to the other two groups, and statistically significant in BCC tissues when compared with healthy control group tissues. SPX can be used as an immunohistochemical biomarker in the diagnosis of BCC and CMM. Since DARS2 expression is statistically more significant in CMM tissues than in BCC tissues, it can be used in differential diagnosis."

Human PIF1 (hPIF1) is poorly understood, but its functions can become critical for tumour cell survival during oncogene-driven replication stress. Here we report the discovery, via an X-ray crystallographic fragment screen (XChem), of hPIF1 DNA binding and unwinding inhibitors. A structure was obtained with a 4-phenylthiazol-2-amine fragment bound in a pocket between helicase domains 2A and 2B, with additional contacts to Valine 258 from domain 1A. The compound makes specific interactions, notably through Leucine 548 and Alanine 551, that constrain conformational adjustments between domains 2A and 2B, previously linked to ATP hydrolysis and DNA unwinding. We next synthesized a range of related compounds and characterized their effects on hPIF1 DNA-binding and helicase activity in vitro, expanding the structure activity relationship (SAR) around the initial hit. A systematic analysis of clinical cancer databases is also presented here, supporting the notion that hPIF1 upregulation may represent a specific cancer cell vulnerability. The research demonstrates that hPIF1 is a tractable target through 4-phenylthiazol-2-amine derivatives as inhibitors of its helicase action, setting a foundation for creation of a novel class of anti-cancer therapeutics."

However, the reliable identification of diagnostic markers and the ability to differentiate between these subtypes have remained elusive challenges. This study aims to pioneer predictive algorithms for vitiligo diagnosis, harnessing the capabilities of AI (Artificial Intelligence) to amalgamate multisource data and uncover essential features for distinguishing vitiligo subtypes.An ensemble algorithm was thoughtfully developed for vitiligo diagnosis, utilizing a spectrum of machine learning techniques to evaluate the likelihood of vitiligo, whether segmental or nonsegmental. Diverse machine learning methodologies were applied to distinguish between healthy individuals and vitiligo patients, as well as to differentiate segmental from nonsegmental vitiligo. The ensemble algorithm achieved a remarkable AUC (Area Under the Curve) of 0.99 and an accuracy of 0.98 for diagnosing vitiligo. Furthermore, in predicting the development of segmental or nonsegmental vitiligo, the model exhibited an AUC of 0.79 and an accuracy of 0.73. Key parameters for vitiligo identification encompassed factors such as age, FBC (full blood count)-neutrophils, FBC-lymphocytes, LKF(liver and kidney function)-direct bilirubin, LKF-total bilirubin, and LKF-total protein levels. In contrast, vital indicators for monitoring the progression of segmental and nonsegmental vitiligo included FBC-B lymphocyte count, FBC-NK (Natural Killer) cell count, and LKF-alkaline phosphatase levels. This retrospective study underscores the potential of AI-driven analysis in identifying significant risk factors for vitiligo and predicting its subtypes at an early stage. These findings offer great promise for the development of effective diagnostic tools and the implementation of personalized treatment approaches in managing this challenging skin disorder."

The responses provided a deep insight into the applied approaches showing a high heterogeneity between participating centers for all three large field irradiation techniques. The highest heterogeneity was found for TBI. Here, differences between centers were found in almost every aspect of the irradiation process, e.g., the irradiation technique, the prescription dose, the spared organs at risk and the applied treatment planning method. For TBI, the only agreement was found in the fractionation scheme (2 Gy/fraction, 2 fractions/day) and the dose reduction to the lung. TSI was the rarest of the three LFITs. For TSI, the only agreement was found in the use of 6 MeV when irradiating with electrons. The reported approaches of CSI were closest to standard radiotherapy, using no CSI-specific irradiation techniques or treatment planning methods. For CSI, the only agreement was found in the prescribed dose to the brain (50 - 60 Gy). When asking for future requirements, participating centers considered the lack of standardization as the most important future challenge and suggested to perform (retrospective) patient studies. The results of such studies can then serve as a basis for new and improved guidelines."

Early diagnosis of breast cancer followed by appropriate treatment is considered the best survival factor. Microneedles (MN) have been utilized for non-invasive localized breast cancer treatment. The combination of nano-carriers with MN technology represents an appealing strategy for improving drug delivery efficacy. It is worth noting that atorvastatin (ATV) has received substantial interest as a drug with potential anticancer activity. Our study aimed to formulate an ATV-loaded bioactive pumpkin seed oil vesicular nanocarrier; pumpkisomes (PUMP) for enhanced localized delivery to breast cancer using MN. The selected PUMP formulation had a particle size of 151.8 ± 2.7 nm, zeta potential of -54.1 mV, and % entrapment efficiency of 73 %.

Interestingly, despite widespread consumption of its fruit and its categorization in the Anacardiaceae family, allergic reactions to the mango tree and its components are comparatively rare, sometimes manifesting as allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). Evaluation of ACD most commonly includes a thorough clinical assessment with diagnostic support from patch testing and histopathologic review following skin biopsy. In recent years, reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) has shown promising potential to join the repertoire of diagnostic tools for ACD by enabling dynamic and high-resolution imaging of contact dermatitis in vivo. Herein, we present a unique case of mango sap-induced ACD imaged and diagnosed in real time via RCM."

High-dose vitamin D supplementation has been suggested to potentially improve and shorten recovery for these AEs, primarily based on data from case reports and case series. In this article, we discuss the role of vitamin D in the most prevalent cancers (breast and colorectal cancer) and changes in vitamin D levels after chemotherapy or radiation treatments. We also summarize reports on high-dose vitamin D supplementation for treating chemotherapy-induced and radiation-induced skin toxicity. Larger studies and randomized controlled trials are essential to clarify the roles of vitamin D in malignancy and in cutaneous AEs associated with cancer treatment. The existing studies we reviewed lack standardized dosing regimens and exhibited heterogeneity across study populations, making it challenging to draw generalizable conclusions."

To evaluate whether dermoscopy can be useful for the diagnosis of early AHM, 133 digital dermoscopic images of lesions histopathologically diagnosed as amelanotic/hypomelanotic superficial spreading melanoma with ≤1 mm thickness (AHSSMs) (n = 27), amelanotic/hypomelanotic non-melanocytic lesions (AHNMLs) (e.g., seborrhoeic keratosis and basal cell carcinoma) (n = 79), and amelanotic/hypomelanotic benign melanocytic lesions (AHBMLs) (e.g., compound and dermal nevi) (n = 27), were dermoscopically assessed by three blinded dermatologists. Using multivariate analysis, we found a significantly increased risk of diagnosing AHSSM versus AHNML and AHBML when the lesion was characterized by the presence of more than one shade of pink (odds ratio [OR] 37.11), irregular dots/globules (OR 23.73), asymmetric pigmentation (OR 8.85), and structureless pattern (OR 7.33). In conclusion, dermoscopy may improve early AHM detection, discriminating AHSSM from amelanotic/hypomelanotic non melanoma lesions."

Among these conditions are infections, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory bowel diseases, vaccinations, the use of medications, and neoplasias. Hematological neoplasias, particularly acute myeloid leukemia, are the most commonly described; however, the condition may also be related to solid tumors, being those of the genitourinary tract the most associated with the syndrome. Drug-induced Sweet syndrome has also been reported; however, it is rarely seen. We report a case of 59 years old male patient with a diagnosis of carcinoma urinary bladder, who developed skin eruption after infusion of the first cycle of chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin) and resolved after treatment with steroids. The diagnosis of Sweet syndrome was confirmed only after skin biopsy, cultures and laboratory investigations. Malignancy as the cause of skin eruptions was eliminated by the fact that it occurred only after infusion of chemotherapy and the tumor was still there in the bladder, and skin eruptions did not occur after stopping steroids."

The recent World Health Organization classification of skin tumors identifies fusion kinases, including NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3, as critical drivers of these lesions. New fusion genes have continued to expand the spectrum of known molecular alterations, particularly within the category of Spitz NTRK-rearranged lesions. We present 2 new cases of NTRK-rearranged Spitz lesions: an atypical Spitz tumor with common LMNA::NTRK1 fusion and an atypical Spitz tumor with a rare PRDX1::NTRK1 fusion. Clinical, histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular analyses were performed to diagnose these patients.

Studies regarding management of advanced/metastatic PDS with immune checkpoint inhibitors are limited as most STSs have historically been viewed as being immunologically inert. Contradicting this belief, in this report, we describe 2 cases of PDS with a robust host response. Histopathology of both cases revealed a dermal neoplasm comprising mitotically active, pleomorphic, spindled-to-ovoid cells, which were immunohistochemically negative for keratinocytic, melanocytic, and smooth muscle markers. An unusual feature in both cases was the presence of a brisk host response. Additional workup of the infiltrating lymphocyte population revealed an abnormal CD4:CD8 ratio in both cases, with the proportion of CD8 + lymphocytes surpassing (case 1) and equaling (case 2) that of the CD4 + T-lymphocyte population. The increased proportion of CD8 + lymphocytes prompted the additional workup of TCR gene rearrangement, which revealed a clonal population of T lymphocytes in both cases. The robust and clonal T-lymphocyte host response in both of our cases suggests that PDS appears to fit the classic model of an inflammatory-type tumor and may be a candidate for checkpoint inhibition. Future work includes additional reports of cases of PDS with an infiltrating clonal T-lymphocyte population and detailing the function and specificity of the infiltrating T lymphocytes to ascertain whether they have the potential to recognize and lyse the tumors they colonize."

The exact cause of PCGDTCL is not known, however, it is thought that chronic antigen exposure in the skin may lead to immune dysregulation at the site, resulting in abnormal proliferation of mature, post-thymic cytotoxic gamma delta T cells. Mutations are the most common genetic alteration seen in PCGDTCL, while structural abnormalities such as gene fusions are not common. We report a case of PCGDTCL with atypical immunophenotypic features, including expression of CD5 with lack of cytotoxic marker expression, and a structural alteration leading to FYN deletion at exon 8. Recently, it was described that a deletion of the area between FYN exon 8 and TRAF3IP2 intron 2 results in a novel FYN::TRAF3IP2 fusion in peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified. We describe our patient's clinical course, differential diagnosis, and potential implications of FYN deletion on disease pathogenesis.

Mutations in this gene have also been identified in skin, pancreatic, testicular, and stromal ovarian cancer (Fagerberg et al., 2014). To date, there have been less than 30 cases of ovarian cancer reported associated with mutated STK11 (Bennett et al., 2021). In this report, we discuss a rare case of a STK11 adnexal tumor in a 39-year-old woman previously diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma. After 33 months with no evidence of disease following cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC and adjuvant chemotherapy, a new retroperitoneal lesion was noted on imaging. After resection, molecular testing indicated an STK11 mutation, and histology was consistent with an STK11 adnexal tumor. A high index of suspicion is required to make the diagnosis of STK11 adnexal tumor due to its non-distinct pathology and IHC staining. Due to the rarity of this neoplasm, analysis of current and future cases of the STK11 adnexal tumor is necessary to understand its pathogenesis, genetic mutational analysis, clinical course, and best treatment options."

Currently, skin diseases are considered a major global health issue, impacting individuals of all ages. Skin conditions can vary broadly, ranging from common issues like acne and eczema to more serious diseases such as psoriasis, melanoma, and other types of skin cancer. In recent years, computational methods have appeared as powerful tools for explaining the lurking mechanisms of skin diseases and the advancement of the discovery regarding updated therapeutics. This review spotlights the notable researches that have been performed in using computational approaches such as virtual screening, molecular modelling, and molecular dynamics simulations to discover potential treatments for dermatological conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, acne vulgaris, skin cancer, and tyrosinase-related disorders. Moreover, using in silico methods, researchers have explored the molecular interactions between cosmetic actives and skin targets, providing insights into the binding affinities, stability, and efficacy of these compounds. This computational exploration allows the identification of potential off-target effects and toxicity profiles, ensuring that only the most promising candidates proceed to clinical testing. In addition, the use of molecular dynamics simulations helps to understand conformational changes and interaction dynamics over time, further refining the selection of effective cosmetic actives. Overall, the integration of computational chemistry into dermo-cosmetic research has immense potential to accelerate the discovery and development of innovative treatments to improve skin health and address dermatological concerns."

+962,skin cancer,39410614,Comprehensive Literature Review on Melanoma of Unknown Primary Site Triggered by an Intriguing Case Report.,"Melanoma is one of the most aggressive forms of skin cancer. While most melanomas have a discernible primary site, a small subset, approximately 3.2%, present as a metastatic disease without an identifiable primary origin, a condition known as melanoma of unknown primary (MUP). Unusual cases of primary melanoma have also been previously reported in the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urogenital tracts. MUP typically is found in lymph nodes, subcutaneous sites, and visceral organs, with hypotheses about its origin including spontaneous primary tumor regression and ectopic melanocytes. MUP presents unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment due to the absence of a detectable primary tumor. Understanding its genetic and molecular features, epidemiology, prognostic factors, and treatment options is crucial for optimizing patient care and outcomes in this subset of melanoma patients. We conducted an extensive literature review triggered by a case report of a patient with suspected MUP. A 51-year-old woman was transferred from another hospital where an incision was performed for a suspected superinfected hematoma of the left thigh. Since the patient showed high leukocytosis and redness and swelling of the thigh, local debridement, drainage, and excisional biopsy of the tumor mass were performed in our unit in the emergency setting, and the tumor was taken for histopathology evaluation. Intraoperatively, the mass appeared nonspecific. The permanent histopathology report established a diagnosis of melanoma, with tumor proliferation also involving lymphoid tissue, and despite broad clinical and imagistic assessments, the primary melanoma could not be identified. Clinicians must be aware of the varied clinical manifestations of malignant melanoma, especially in cases of occult melanoma where the primary site is not evident."

While the MENA region constitutes 6% of the world's population, it remains underrepresented in clinical trials. Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) represent a heterogeneous group of rare extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas with variable clinical presentation. In the MENA region, where darker skin colors are more common than in the West, CTCL generally presents at a younger age and with distinct clinical features that necessitate special expertise and management across disciplines: rare forms of CTCL are more common (hypo- and hyperpigmented MF) and a higher prevalence of pediatric MF is noticed. The multidisciplinary approach to cancer management is growing worldwide and is necessary for the comprehensive management of CTCL. The MENA CTCL group was established with the aim of creating a collaborative environment for the diagnosis and treatment of CTCL in the region. Its first meeting was held in May 2023. The group plans to increase the global representation of the MENA region and establish CTCL registries and patient advocacy groups in the region."

Most XP patients suffer from aggressive skin carcinoma and melanoma at a very early age (<8). Our previous results showed that primary XP fibroblasts isolated from healthy (non-photo-exposed) skin negatively impact the extracellular matrix and fail to activate the innate immune system. Here, we show for the first time that XP-C fibroblasts also play a major role in cancer cell invasion ex vivo and in vivo through the overexpression of Hepatocyte Growth Factor/Scatter Factor (HGF/SF) in the absence of genotoxic attacks. The use of inhibitors of the activation of the HGF/SF pathway counteracted the effects of XP fibroblasts on the growth of cancer cells, suggesting new perspectives in the care of XP patients."
+967,skin cancer,39409881,Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4) as an Emerging Target for Immunotherapy to Treat Melanoma.,"Immunotherapies, including checkpoint inhibitor antibodies, have precipitated significant improvements in clinical outcomes for melanoma. However, approximately half of patients do not benefit from approved treatments. Additionally, apart from Tebentafusp, which is approved for the treatment of uveal melanoma, there is a lack of immunotherapies directly focused on melanoma cells. This is partly due to few available targets, especially those expressed on the cancer cell surface. Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4) is a cell surface molecule overexpressed in human melanoma, with restricted distribution and low expression in non-malignant tissues and involved in several cancer-promoting and dissemination pathways. Here, we summarize the current understanding of the expression and functional significance of CSPG4 in health and melanoma, and we outline immunotherapeutic strategies. These include monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), chimeric-antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, and other strategies such as anti-idiotypic and mimotope vaccines to raise immune responses against CSPG4-expressing melanomas. Several showed promising functions in preclinical models of melanoma, yet few have reached clinical testing, and none are approved for therapeutic use. Obstacles preventing that progress include limited knowledge of CSPG4 function in human cancer and a lack of in vivo models that adequately represent patient immune responses and human melanoma biology. Despite several challenges, immunotherapy directed to CSPG4-expressing melanoma harbors significant potential to transform the treatment landscape."

Biomarkers to stratify patients' prognosis are lacking. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs. We aimed to determine the expression of miR-211-5p in primary tumors and metastases of malignant melanoma and its potential use as a prognostic biomarker. We performed in situ hybridization for miRNA-211-5p on 109 FFPE melanoma samples from 76 patients, including 31 paired primary tumor/metastasis samples. For validation, we performed in silico analyses of TCGA skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) cohort. High miR-211-5p expression was more frequent in primary tumors (70.8%) compared to metastases (39.3%). In metastases, it was associated with a significantly worse overall survival. Data from TCGA SKCM cohort confirmed that high miR-211-5p expression in melanoma metastases, but not primary tumors, is associated with worse overall survival. MiR-211-5p expression in metastases is associated with a shorter survival, emphasizing the potential of miR-211-5p as a risk predictor for a less favorable clinical outcome in metastatic disease. In situ hybridization could be implemented in a routine laboratory workflow and can be performed on diagnostic tissue."
+970,skin cancer,39409151,Proof of Concept for Genome Profiling of the Neurofibroma/Sarcoma Sequence in Neurofibromatosis Type 1.,"Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by the predisposition to develop tumors such as malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) which represents the primary cause of death for NF1-affected patients. Regardless of the high incidence and mortality, the molecular mechanisms underneath MPNST growth and metastatic progression remain poorly understood. In this proof-of-concept study, we performed somatic whole-exome sequencing (WES) to profile the genomic alterations in four samples from a patient with NF1-associated MPNST, consisting of a benign plexiform neurofibroma, a primary MPNST, and metastases from lung and skin tissues. By comparing genomic patterns, we identified a high level of variability across samples with distinctive genetic changes which allow for the definition of profiles of the early phase with respect to the late metastatic stages. Pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants were abundant in the primary tumor, whereas the metastatic samples exhibited a high level of copy-number variations (CNVs), highlighting a possible genomic instability in the late phases.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT), utilizing 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) along with red light, is a recognized treatment option for AK that is limited by the penetration depth of light and the distribution of the photosensitizer into the skin. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is a partially ionized gas with permeability-enhancing and anti-cancer properties. This study analyzed, in vitro, whether a combined treatment of CAP and ALA-PDT may improve the efficacy of the treatment. In addition, the effect of the application sequence of ALA and CAP was investigated using in vitro assays and the molecular characterization of human oral SCC cell lines (SCC-9, SCC-15, SCC-111), human cutaneous SCC cell lines (SCL-1, SCL-2, A431), and normal human epidermal keratinocytes (HEKn). The anti-tumor effect was determined by migration, invasion, and apoptosis assays and supported the improved efficacy of ALA-PDT in combination with CAP. However, the application sequence ALA-CAP-red light seems to be more efficacious than CAP-ALA-red light, which is probably due to increased intracellular ROS levels when ALA is applied first, followed by CAP and red light treatment. Furthermore, the expression of apoptosis- and senescence-related molecules (caspase-3, -6, -9, p16"

+974,skin cancer,39409021,Unraveling the Role of JMJD1B in Genome Stability and the Malignancy of Melanomas.,"Genome instability relies on preserving the chromatin structure, with any histone imbalances threating DNA integrity. Histone synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm, followed by a maturation process before their nuclear translocation. This maturation involves protein folding and the establishment of post-translational modifications. Disruptions in this pathway hinder chromatin assembly and contribute to genome instability. JMJD1B, a histone demethylase, not only regulates gene expression but also ensures a proper supply of histones H3 and H4 for the chromatin assembly. Reduced JMJD1B levels lead to the cytoplasmic accumulation of histones, causing defects in the chromatin assembly and resulting in DNA damage. To investigate the role of JMJD1B in regulating genome stability and the malignancy of melanoma tumors, we used a JMJD1B/KDM3B knockout in B16F10 mouse melanoma cells to perform tumorigenic and genome instability assays. Additionally, we analyzed the transcriptomic data of human cutaneous melanoma tumors. Our results show the enhanced tumorigenic properties of JMJD1B knockout melanoma cells both in vitro and in vivo. The γH2AX staining, Micrococcal Nuclease sensitivity, and comet assays demonstrated increased DNA damage and genome instability. The JMJD1B expression in human melanoma tumors correlates with a lower mutational burden and fewer oncogenic driver mutations. Our findings highlight JMJD1B's role in maintaining genome integrity by ensuring a proper histone supply to the nucleus, expanding its function beyond gene expression regulation. JMJD1B emerges as a crucial player in preserving genome stability and the development of melanoma, with a potential role as a safeguard against oncogenic mutations."

+976,skin cancer,39408929,Regulatory Role of IL6 in Immune-Related Adverse Events during Checkpoint Inhibitor Treatment in Melanoma.,"The landscape of clinical management for metastatic melanoma (MM) and other solid tumors has been modernized by the advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), including programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), and cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) inhibitors. While these agents demonstrate efficacy in suppressing tumor growth, they also lead to immune-related adverse events (irAEs), resulting in the exacerbation of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ulcerative colitis (UC), and Crohn's disease (CD). The immune checkpoint inhibitors offer promising advancements in the treatment of melanoma and other cancers, but they also present significant challenges related to irAEs and autoimmune diseases. Ongoing research is crucial to better understand these challenges and develop strategies for mitigating adverse effects while maximizing therapeutic benefits. In this manuscript, we addressed this challenge using network-based approaches by constructing and analyzing the molecular and signaling networks associated with tumor-immune crosstalk. Our analysis revealed that IL6 is the key regulator responsible for irAEs during ICI therapies. Furthermore, we conducted an integrative network and molecular-level analysis, including virtual screening, of drug libraries, such as the Collection of Open Natural Products (COCONUT) and the Zinc15 FDA-approved library, to identify potential IL6 inhibitors. Subsequently, the compound amprenavir was identified as the best molecule that may disrupt essential interactions between IL6 and IL6R, which are responsible for initiating the signaling cascades underlying irAEs in ICI therapies."

This study evaluated the radiobiological response of established (MDA-MB-231 (Triple negative breast cancer, TNBC), MCF-7 (Luminal A)) and patient-derived malignant cell lines, cancer-associated fibroblasts, and skin fibroblasts following proton IRR. All cell line types were irradiated with the proton dose of 2, 4, and 6 Gy. The radiobiological response was assessed using clonogenic assay, γH2AX, and p53 staining. It was noticeable that breast cancer lines of different molecular subtypes displayed no significant variations in their response to proton IRR. In terms of cancer-associated fibroblasts extracted from the tumor tissue, the line derived from a TNBC subtype tumor demonstrated higher resistance to ionizing radiation compared to lines isolated from luminal A tumors. Fibroblasts extracted from patients' skin responded identically to all doses of proton radiation. This study emphasizes that tumor response is not exclusively determined by the elimination of breast cancer cells, but also takes into account tumor microenvironmental variables and skin reactions."

In comparative oncology, canine oral melanomas (COMs), as spontaneous tumor models, have the potential to acquire a unique value as a translational model of rare human melanoma subtypes. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of targeted therapies for canine malignant melanoma and to enrich the field of comparative oncology. Following the PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted across databases for studies from 1976 to April 2024. Studies were selected based on their relevance to targeted treatments. A total of 30 studies met the inclusion criteria. Based on the treatment approaches, the studies were further categorized into immunotherapies, small molecule signaling inhibitors, indirect kinase inhibitors, and other alternative strategies. Some treatments have been shown to result in stable disease or partial response, accounting for 29% (monoclonal antibody) and 76.5% (micro-RNA therapies) in clinical trials. Moreover, in vitro experiments of small molecule inhibitors, including cell signaling inhibitors and indirect kinase inhibitors, have shown the potential to be an effective treatment option for the development of therapeutic strategies in canine malignant melanoma. The observed response in in vitro experiments of CMM (particularly the oral and certain cutaneous subtypes) to drugs used in the treatment of human melanoma underlines the resemblance to human melanoma, therefore supporting the notion that CMM may be a valuable model for understanding rare human melanoma subtypes and exploring potential therapeutic avenues in preclinical trials. Finally, this literature review serves as a valuable resource for the development of therapeutic strategies for CMM and highlights the potential for translating these findings to human cancer treatment."

Cytotoxic and antimigratory potential was addressed by using a colorectal cancer cell line as a model system. Although possessing no cytotoxic effects, two compounds have shown strong antimigratory potential in low doses, with no effect on healthy MRC-5 cells. Evaluation of their antimicrobial activities suggested prominent antimicrobial activity, where Compound 4 outperformed streptomycin against Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis. Hormone-dependent types of cancer, such as prostate, ovary, and breast, are highly dependent on human sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) blood levels. A molecular docking study has shown that 1 has high affinity to bind and therefore compete with natural steroids for the SHBG steroid-binding site. DNA-binding study have shown that 4 interacts with CT-DNA in a groove-binding mode. In silico ADME/T study revealed that all compounds have suitable physicochemical properties for oral bioavailability and druglikeness, while toxicity tests for 1, 4, and 6 suggested potential for mutagenicity (4, 6), hepatotoxicity (6), and skin sensation (1)."

More recently, scientists have focused on ruthenium-based compounds as alternatives for platinum compounds, which seem like ideal therapeutic anticancer alternatives to platinum derivatives. The present study aims to assess whether one or more of three Ruthenium-based nanocomposites, namely Ru+Lysine+CTAB (RCTL), Ru+CTAB (RCT), and Ru+Lysine (RL) exhibit pronounced anti-proliferative properties against different cancer cells. Three Ruthenium nanocomposites have been synthesized by standard chemical methods and characterized by Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The cytotoxic effect of the three composites has been evaluated by MTT in-vitro assay for different human cancer cell lines, namely MCF7, HepG2, A549, and PC3 versus normal human skin cell line (BJ1). The molecular underlying mechanisms of cytotoxicity have been assessed via qRT-PCR for pro-apoptotic makers P53 and Casp-3, and anti-apoptotic marker Bcl-2 as well as flow cytometric analysis of the cell cycle.

Utilizing whole exome sequencing (WES), which focuses on protein-coding regions to reveal mutation profiles, we conducted a comparative analysis of canine OMM and human melanomas. This study involved DNA extraction, exome enrichment, and sequencing from three canine OMM cell lines (CMGD-2, CMGD-5, TLM-1), five canine OMM frozen samples, a human OMM cell line (MEMO), and a human commercial skin melanoma cell line (SK-MEL-28). The sequencing and subsequent analysis of FASTQ files yielded final variant files, leading to the identification of mutations. Our findings revealed a total of 500 mutated genes in canine OMM, including significant ones such as EP300, FAT4, JAK3, LRP1B, NCOR1, and NOTCH1. Notably, 82 shared mutations were identified between human melanomas and canine OMM genomes. These mutations were categorized based on the gene functions. The identification of these mutations provides critical insights that can pave the way for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for both canine and human OMM, offering hope for more effective treatments in the future."

Here, we investigate the transcriptomic alterations induced by doxorubicin (DOX), a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent, in human colon cancer cells. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we identified distinct cell populations and their transcriptional profiles following subtoxic DOX treatment, revealing cell clusters characterized by differential expression of genes involved in cell cycle regulation and interferon (IFN) signaling. DOX-persisting proliferating cells exhibited upregulation of genes reported to be linked to the unphosphorylated form of ISGF3 (U-ISGF3) transcription factor. Furthermore, we found that HSH2D, a poor prognostic marker, was highly upregulated in doxorubicin-surviving proliferative cells, and its expression was correlated with U-ISGF3-related genes. Analysis of transcription kinetics via mathematical modeling revealed that the number of mRNA molecules produced per transcriptional burst was increased for U-ISGF3-related genes. We also observed altered gene co-expression patterns of U-ISGF3-related genes and others upon DOX treatment, which potentially contributes to chemoresistance of DOX-surviving proliferative cells and may influence cancer cell fate after chemotherapy. Our findings highlight U-ISGF3-related genes and the JAK/STAT pathway as potential therapeutic targets for overcoming chemoresistance in colon cancer."

+990,skin cancer,39405093,A new potential strategy for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma treatment by generating serum-based antibodies from tumor-exposed mice.,"Current cancer treatment strategies continue to face significant challenges, primarily due to tumor relapse, drug resistance, and low treatment efficiency. These issues arise because certain tumor cells adapt to the host immune microenvironment and evade the immune system. This study presents a new cancer immunotherapy strategy using serum-based antibodies from mice exposed to mouse cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (mCSCC). The experiment was conducted in three stages. In the first stage, mCSCC cells were isolated and expanded cultured from DMBA/TPA-induced mCSCC. In the second stage, these expanded tumor cells were injected into healthy mice to stimulate the production of anti-tumor antibodies. In the final stage, therapeutic serum was extracted from these healthy mice and reintroduced into the tumor-bearing mice. An ELISA assay was utilized to analyze the levels of p53, Bcl-xL, NF-κB, and Bax. The results showed that the serum treatment not only reduced tumor volume but also reversed changes in p53, Bcl-xL, NF-κB, and Bax. In conclusion, this study developed a new immunotherapeutic strategy for treating mCSCC. However, further research is needed to fully comprehend the mechanism of this serum treatment."

Both BCC and cSCC represent a significant health burden, particularly in immunocompromised individuals and the elderly. The immune system plays a pivotal role in the development and progression of NMSC, making it a critical focus for therapeutic interventions. This review highlights key immunological targets in BCC and cSCC, with a focus on immune checkpoint molecules such as PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4, which regulate T cell activity and contribute to immune evasion. This review also highlights anti-tumor immune cell subsets within the tumor microenvironment (TME), such as tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and dendritic cells. Additionally, it examines the immunosuppressive elements of the TME, including regulatory T cells (Tregs), myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), as well as their roles in NMSC progression and resistance to therapy. Emerging strategies targeting these immune elements, such as monoclonal antibodies, are also discussed for their potential to enhance anti-tumor immune responses and improve clinical outcomes. By elucidating the immunological landscape of BCC and cSCC and drawing comparisons to melanoma, this review highlights the transformative potential of immunotherapy in treating these malignancies."

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a potential prognostic and predictive marker in the phase 3 IMCgp100-202 trial using multiplex PCR-based next-generation sequencing (NGS). In this study (NCT02866149), ctDNA dynamics were assessed using droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) in 69 MUM patients undergoing tebentafusp treatment. Notably, 61% of patients exhibited detectable ctDNA before treatment initiation, which was associated with shorter overall survival (median 12.9 months versus 40.5 months for patients with undetectable ctDNA; p < 0.001). Patients manifesting a 90% or greater reduction in ctDNA levels at 12 weeks demonstrated markedly prolonged overall survival (median 21.2 months versus 12.9 months; p = 0.02). Our findings highlight the potential of ddPCR-based ctDNA monitoring as an economical, pragmatic and informative approach in MUM management, offering valuable insights into treatment response and prognosis."
+998,skin cancer,39402030,A machine learning model reveals expansive downregulation of ligand-receptor interactions that enhance lymphocyte infiltration in melanoma with developed resistance to immune checkpoint blockade.,"Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is a promising cancer therapy; however, resistance frequently develops. To explore ICB resistance mechanisms, we develop Immunotherapy Resistance cell-cell Interaction Scanner (IRIS), a machine learning model aimed at identifying cell-type-specific tumor microenvironment ligand-receptor interactions relevant to ICB resistance. Applying IRIS to deconvolved transcriptomics data of the five largest melanoma ICB cohorts, we identify specific downregulated interactions, termed resistance downregulated interactions (RDI), as tumors develop resistance. These RDIs often involve chemokine signaling and offer a stronger predictive signal for ICB response compared to upregulated interactions or the state-of-the-art published transcriptomics biomarkers. Validation across multiple independent melanoma patient cohorts and modalities confirms that RDI activity is associated with CD8 + T cell infiltration and highly manifested in hot/brisk tumors. This study presents a strongly predictive ICB response biomarker, highlighting the key role of downregulating chemotaxis-associated ligand-receptor interactions in inhibiting lymphocyte infiltration in resistant tumors."

Based on efficacy and safety data from global pivotal (randomized phase III) clinical studies, TTFields therapy (Optune Gio) is US Food and Drug Administration-approved for newly diagnosed (nd) and recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) and Conformité Européenne-marked for grade 4 glioma. Here we review data on the multimodal TTFields mechanism of action that includes disruption of cancer cell mitosis, inhibition of DNA replication and damage response, interference with cell motility, and enhancement of systemic antitumor immunity (adaptive immunity). We describe new data showing that TTFields therapy has efficacy in a broad range of patients, with a tolerable safety profile extending to high-risk subpopulations. New analyses of clinical study data also confirmed that overall and progression-free survival positively correlated with increased usage of the device and dose of TTFields at the tumor site. Additionally, pilot/early phase clinical studies evaluating TTFields therapy in ndGBM concomitant with immunotherapy as well as radiotherapy have shown promise, and new pivotal studies will explore TTFields therapy in these settings. Finally, we review recent and ongoing studies in patients in pediatric care, other central nervous system tumors and brain metastases, as well as other advanced-stage solid tumors (ie, lung, ovarian, pancreatic, gastric, and hepatic cancers), that highlight the broad potential of TTFields therapy as an adjuvant treatment in oncology."

We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of adults with melanoma, basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) All of Us Research Program collected between May 2018 and July 2022. Participants included adults (aged 18 or older) with cutaneous malignancy who completed the Health Care Access and Utilization survey. We identified 5,817 adults who were diagnosed with BCC (67%), cSCC (28.9%), and melanoma (23.9%). Non-Hispanic Black (NHB) and Hispanic patients were more likely than non-Hispanic White (NHW) patients to delay a primary care visit due to cost (p = 0.005 and p = 0.015, respectively). NHB patients were also more likely to delay care due to lack of transportation (p < 0.001). NHB and Hispanic patients were more likely to place importance on seeing a provider from the same background (NHB p < 0.002; Hispanic p = 0.002) and also were more likely to report never being able to see such a provider (NHB p < 0.001; Hispanic p = 0.002). Medicaid/Medicare patients, non-college graduates, and those with lower incomes also faced increased barriers to care, including delays due to cost and transportation issues.

Chi-square and t-tests were used for univariate analysis, and a logistic regression model was used for multivariate analysis. The study included 51,561 patients with AA and 51,410 controls. AA was significantly associated with HMs (adjusted OR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.07-1.51; P = 0.006). This association was more robust among patients with late-onset AA (≥ 50 years; OR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.04-1.71; P = 0.025).

Under the influence of various factors, patients with COPD often experience acute exacerbations, which have a significant negative impact on the prognosis, quality of life, and life span of patients. As a branch of cupping therapy, moving cupping along meridians is an essential complementary therapy of the traditional Chinese medicine system. Cupping plays a unique role in treating and preventing many diseases by stimulating the local skin with negative pressure. This article elaborately describes the procedure of moving cupping along meridians therapy in the treatment of AECOPD. The effectiveness and feasibility of moving cupping along meridians therapy in relieving symptoms and enhancing the quality of life is demonstrated by comparing the changes in the 36-item Short-Form (SF-36) health survey questionnaire, the modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC), and the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score before and after the treatment. As a cost-effective complementary treatment, the protocol for the moving cupping along meridians treatment described in this article is expected to provide a reference for non-pharmacological treatment options for AECOPD."

Although numerous case reports have described the coexistence of BP with various neoplasms, case-control studies have yielded conflicting results. We present the case of a male patient who developed BP shortly after being diagnosed with mycosis fungoides (MF). He was a 77-year-old man with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension who was diagnosed with MF. Subsequently, he developed blisters after sun exposure, and was diagnosed with BP through histopathology and direct immunofluorescence. The patient was treated with prednisone and methotrexate, with favorable evolution without recurrence of MF or appearance of new blisters. The association between cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and autoimmune blistering disease is rare, although similar cases have been reported, some associated with phototherapy. In this case, the onset of BP after sun exposure suggests a potential connection. The coexistence of BP and MF remains controversial, and this case highlights the importance of considering autoimmune blistering diseases in patients with oncohematological neoplasms."

A subset of individuals will progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) where renal replacement therapy is required to maintain health. Cutaneous disease, including xerosis and pruritus, are endemic amongst patients with ESRD. In the uraemia-associated immune deficiency of ESRD, impaired circulating immune responses contribute to increased infection risk and poorer vaccination response. Clinical manifestations of dysregulated adaptive immunity within the skin have been well-described and have been posited to play a role in cutaneous features of ESRD. However, our understanding of the mechanisms by which adaptive immunity within the skin is affected by uraemia is relatively limited. We provide an overview of how the cutaneous adaptive immune system is impacted both directly and indirectly by uraemia, highlighting that much work has been extrapolated from the circulating immune system and often has not been directly evaluated in the skin compartment. We identify knowledge gaps which may be addressed by future research. Ultimately, greater understanding of these pathways may facilitate novel therapeutic approaches to ameliorate widespread cutaneous symptomatology in ESRD."

A skin biopsy of the soft part resembled neurofibroma. However, the excised specimen showed that the tumor base comprised spindle cells arranged in a storiform fashion and expanded around fat cells with a honeycomb infiltration. All areas of the tumor were positive for CD34 and negative for S-100. Finally, the tumor was diagnosed as a myxoid dermatofibrosarcoma protuberance arising from a conventional area. The pedunculated shape on the conventional part was unique. Myxoid dermatofibrosarcoma protuberances may pose a diagnostic challenge, particularly with a small biopsy. Thus, we should carefully consider dermatofibrosarcoma protuberances or other malignant mesenchymal tumors as a differential diagnosis in cases of low cellularity and abundant stromal tumors resembling neurofibromas."

A 61-year-old female patient was diagnosed with axillary CAC with axillary lymph node metastasis and underwent surgery. Pathological examination revealed seven lymph node metastases. Immunostaining revealed that the tumor cells were estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, progesterone receptor (PgR)-positive, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive. The patient received chemotherapy, including anti-HER2 drugs, and hormone therapy to prevent recurrence. No recurrence was observed for > 3 years after surgery. The apocrine glands in the skin and mammary glands have similar characteristics and mammary glands are thought to be modified or derived from the apocrine glands present in the subcutaneous adipose tissue. Therefore, ER, PgR, and HER2 levels may be positive in CAC. Drug treatments for breast cancer may also be effective for CAC."

We present a case of myxofibrosarcoma of the lower leg in an 88-year-old woman who successfully responded to combined hyperthermia and radiotherapy. We proposed a below-knee amputation because of the spread of the lesion, but the patient opted for hyperthermia with radiotherapy. One and a half years later, the tumor partially regrew, and the regrown mass was resected with an R0 margin. Unfortunately, the patient developed a surgical site infection immediately after the resection, and a skin ulcer formed. It took about 2 years for conservative treatment to result in complete ulcer epithelization. The patient has been ambulant, and has not experienced any symptoms of local recurrence or metastasis in the two and a half years since the surgery. Although adverse events related to combined hyperthermia and radiotherapy, such as delayed wound healing, should be considered, it could be an option for the treatment of localized soft-tissue sarcoma, especially in elderly patients."

However, it can also affect the adult population due to risk factors, leading to infection with numerous complications involving the central nervous system, kidneys, respiratory system, and skin. Varicella pneumonia, one of the most feared complications in adults, occurs in approximately 1 out of 400 patients with the disease. This complication primarily affects male patients with a history of heavy smoking and immunosuppression, either due to an underlying disease such as HIV and cancer, drug use, pregnancy or pulmonary disease. It is recommended that this complication should be treated with intravenous acyclovir at a dose of 10 mg/kg/8 hours. The prognosis depends on the development of respiratory failure; up to 50 % of patients with this complication require invasive mechanical ventilation. Here, we report the clinical case of an immunocompetent patient with a typical presentation of varicella that rapidly progressed to a respiratory infection requiring antiviral treatment and invasive mechanical ventilation."

The optimal method should be selected from a wide array of techniques, depending on the size and location of the defect. Both pedicled and free flaps have demonstrated favorable outcomes. However, due to the nature of STS, there is concern about recurrence and the potential complications for secondary reconstruction. A 78-year-old male with leiomyosarcoma in the proximal third of the leg underwent wide excision and reconstruction using a pedicled medial gastrocnemius muscle flap. Local recurrence occurred at six months postoperatively, necessitating a second extended resection. This was followed by reconstruction using a hemi-split tibialis anterior muscle and hemi-split soleus muscle flaps, combined with a split-thickness skin graft. The postoperative course was uneventful, with complete survival of both the muscle flap and skin graft and no functional limitations in the lower extremity. The hemi-split tibialis anterior and soleus muscle flaps are considered valuable methods for reconstruction, preserving lower extremity function."

This patient had a history of right ER/PR positive HER2 negative stage 1 breast cancer s/p lumpectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy and radiation plus tamoxifen x6 months in 2017. She is now presenting with a recurrence of right breast cancer along with additional metastatic disease to the contralateral (left) axilla. She was treated with a skin-sparing mastectomy along with a contralateral lymph node dissection. A negative sentinel lymph node was seen, representing the dilemma of non-contiguous metastatic spread. Histological pathology of the right breast masses revealed multifocal invasive carcinoma of no special type (ductal), along with two of five left axillary lymph nodes positive for metastatic mammary carcinoma. No right-sided sentinel node was identified. The right breast lesions and the left axillary lymph node metastases are all morphologically similar and showed strong ER expression, the results of which are compatible with spreading to the contralateral axilla."

Melanoma plasticity is involved in tumor growth, metastasis and therapy resistance. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) could influence plasticity due to their regulatory function. However, their role and mode of action are poorly studied. Here, we show a relevance of lncRNA GRASLND in melanoma differentiation and IFNγ signaling. GRASLND knockdown revealed switching of differentiated, melanocytic melanoma cells towards a dedifferentiated, slow-proliferating and highly-invasive cell state. Interestingly, GRASLND is overexpressed in differentiated melanomas and associated with poor prognosis. Accordingly, we found GRASLND expressed in immunological ""cold"" tumors and it negatively correlates with gene signatures of immune response activation. In line, silencing of GRASLND under IFNγ enhanced the expression of IFNγ-stimulated genes, including HLA-I antigen presentation, demonstrating suppressive activity of GRASLND on IFNγ signaling. Our findings demonstrate that in differentiated melanomas elevated expression of GRASLND interferes with anti-tumor effects of IFNγ, suggesting a role of GRASLND in tumor immune evasion."

In this study, we investigated the role of ARL13B in the efferent ductules, tubules of the male reproductive tract essential to male fertility in which primary and motile cilia co-exist. We used a genetically engineered mouse model to delete Arl13b in efferent ductule epithelial cells, resulting in compromised primary and motile cilia architecture and functions. This deletion led to disturbances in reabsorptive/secretory processes and triggered an inflammatory response. The observed male reproductive phenotype showed significant variability linked to partial infertility, highlighting the importance of ARL13B in maintaining a proper physiological balance in these small ducts. These results emphasize the dual role of both motile and primary cilia functions in regulating efferent duct homeostasis, offering deeper insights into how cilia related diseases affect the male reproductive system."
+1040,skin cancer,39396554,Circulating capsid-antibody-complexes (CACs) drive intrahepatic complement deposition and inform subclinical liver inflammation in chronic hepatitis B.,"Chronic infection with Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) often results in a dysfunctional virus-specific T cell response hampering viral clearance. Paradoxically, intrahepatic inflammatory responses that contribute more to liver histopathology than to viral suppression are commonly observed, which are widely believed to be cell mediated. The involvement of humoral immunity in this process however is not well documented. To investigate the possible roles of HBV Capsid-Antibody Complexes (CACs) in eliciting chronic liver inflammation, we developed a novel microplate-based assay for the quantification of CACs in serum. The CACs assay showed high sensitivity and specificity with its readout closely correlating with the molecular features of CACs. A cross-sectional study on untreated chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients showed a 77% positive rate for CACs with significant association with alanine transaminase (ALT), intrahepatic inflammation, and complement deposition, suggestive of its functional role in hepatic injury. Multiple staining of complement activation fragment C4d with major leukocyte and myofibroblast markers revealed an intertwined picture in periportal area with a morphology reminiscent of ""piecemeal necrosis"". In a pooled cohort with ALT levels lower than 40 IU/ml, CACs alone revealed subclinical liver inflammation. We provide definitive evidence for a causative role for CACs in complement-mediated intrahepatic immunopathology, an additional mechanism contributing to liver damage in CHB. Assessment of CACs in serum complements current clinical markers for assessing CHB associated inflammation."

Given the central location of the dominant left upper lobe (LUL) nodule and its proximity to an airway, bronchoscopic biopsy was felt to be the right approach. The IonTM Endoluminal System robotic-assisted navigational bronchoscope (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, California) was used to sample the LUL nodule under fluoroscopic guidance. Together with clinical and radiological findings, the histological and immunophenotypic findings are supportive for Diffuse Idiopathic Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Cell Hyperplasia (DIPNECH). The DIPNECH is a rare condition first described in a case series published in cancer in 1953. This highly atypical condition highlights the utility of modern navigational bronchoscopy in safely securing a diagnostic bronchoscopic biopsy in locations not previously reachable. This is especially relevant given the challenge and risk to percutaneous CT-guided biopsy.

+1046,skin cancer,39395346,Integrating color histogram analysis and convolutional neural networks for skin lesion classification.,"The color of skin lesions is a crucial diagnostic feature for identifying malignant melanoma and other skin diseases. Typical colors associated with melanocytic lesions include tan, brown, black, red, white, and blue-gray. This study introduces a novel feature: the number of colors present in lesions, which can indicate the severity of skin diseases and help distinguish melanomas from benign lesions. We propose a color histogram analysis, a traditional image processing technique, to analyze the pixels of skin lesions from three publicly available datasets: PH2, ISIC2016, and Med-Node, which include dermoscopic and non-dermoscopic images. While the PH2 dataset contains ground truth about skin lesion colors, the ISIC2016 and Med-Node datasets lack such annotations; our algorithm establishes this ground truth using the color histogram analysis based on the PH2 dataset. We then design and train a 19-layer Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with different skip connections of residual blocks to classify lesions into three categories based on the number of colors present. The DeepDream algorithm is utilized to visualize the learned features of different layers, and multiple configurations of the proposed CNN are tested, achieving the highest weighted F1-score of 75.00 % on the test set. LIME is subsequently applied to identify the most important features influencing the model's decision-making. The findings demonstrate that the number of colors in lesions is a significant feature for describing skin conditions. The proposed CNN, particularly with three skip connections, shows strong potential for clinical application in diagnosing melanoma, supporting its use alongside traditional diagnostic methods."

There is a dearth of information on the natural history, epidemiology, and optimal treatment options. This study aimed to characterize the worldwide distribution, epidemiology, clinical features, and treatments attempted for all reported cases of porokeratosis ptychotropica. A total of 59 cases of porokeratosis ptychotropica have been reported, with most cases originating from the United States. The median age of patients affected with porokeratosis ptychotropica was 49 years. The most involved body locations are the buttocks and gluteal cleft. The risk of malignant transformation in porokeratosis ptychotropica is approximately 1.7% but there is significant bias in estimating rare occurrences in rare diseases. In conclusion, PP is an important but under-recognized variant of porokeratosis, with a likely low risk of malignant transformation. The best available treatment modality remains uncertain; however, the use of topical lovastatin/cholesterol cream appears promising. Long-term surveillance appears prudent for porokeratosis ptychotropica due to a risk of cancerization."

Moreover, the release of cytokines mediated by inflammation within the tumour microenvironment (TME) has a crucial role in orchestrating these events. The activation of inflammatory caspases, facilitated by the recruitment of caspase-1, is initiated by the activation of pattern recognition receptors on the immune cell membrane. This activation results in the production of proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β and IL-18, and participates in diverse biological processes with significant implications. The NOD-Like Receptor Protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome holds a central role in innate immunity and regulates inflammation through releasing IL-1β and IL-18. Moreover, it interacts with various cellular compartments. Recently, the mechanisms underlying NLRP3 inflammasome activation have garnered considerable attention. Disruption in NLRP3 inflammasome activation has been associated with a spectrum of inflammatory diseases, encompassing diabetes, enteritis, neurodegenerative diseases, obesity and tumours. The NLRP3 impact on tumorigenesis varies across different cancer types, with contrasting roles observed. For example, colorectal cancer associated with colitis can be suppressed by NLRP3, whereas gastric and skin cancers may be promoted by its activity. This review provides comprehensive insights into the structure, biological characteristics and mechanisms of the NLRP3 inflammasome, with a specific focus on the relationship between NLRP3 and tumour-related immune responses, and TME. Furthermore, the review explores potential strategies for targeting cancers via NLRP3 inflammasome modulation. This encompasses innovative approaches, including NLRP3-based nanoparticles, gene-targeted therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors."

+1057,skin cancer,39394099,Size matters: integrating tumour volume and immune activation signatures predicts immunotherapy response.,"Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed cancer treatment, providing significant benefit to patients across various tumour types, including melanoma. However, around 40% of melanoma patients do not benefit from ICI treatment, and accurately predicting ICI response remains challenging. We now describe a novel and simple approach that integrates immune-associated transcriptome signatures and tumour volume burden to better predict ICI response in melanoma patients. RNA sequencing was performed on pre-treatment (PRE) tumour specimens derived from 32 patients with advanced melanoma treated with combination PD1 and CTLA4 inhibitors. Of these 32 patients, 11 also had early during treatment (EDT, 5-15 days after treatment start) tumour samples. Tumour volume was assessed at PRE for all 32 patients, and at first computed tomography (CT) imaging for the 11 patients with EDT samples. Analysis of the Hallmark IFNγ gene set revealed no association with ICI response at PRE (AUC ROC curve = 0.6404, p = 0.24, 63% sensitivity, 71% specificity). When IFNg activity was evaluated with tumour volume (ratio of gene set expression to tumour volume) using logistic regression to predict ICI response, we observed high discriminative power in separating ICI responders from non-responders (AUC = 0.7760, p = 0.02, 88% sensitivity, 67% specificity); this approach was reproduced with other immune-associated transcriptomic gene sets. These findings were further replicated in an independent cohort of 23 melanoma patients treated with PD1 inhibitor. Hence, integrating tumour volume with immune-associated transcriptomic signatures improves the prediction of ICI response, and suggest that higher levels of immune activation relative to tumour burden are required for durable ICI response."

A panel of 33 antibodies was used to stain selected immune and structural cell populations. Imaging mass cytometry data were segmented into single cells on the basis of combinations of antibody stains. Single cells were then clustered into cell categories on the basis of prespecified markers. The spatial relationships of different cell populations were assessed using neighborhood analysis. Among all cell types in the skin and synovium, lymphoid cells accounted for the most prevalent cell type. T cells and macrophages were the most prevalent immune cell type in the synovium, and B cells and NK cells were also identified. Neighborhood analysis showed high correlation between synovial T cells, B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and neutrophils, suggesting spatial organization. Innate and adaptive immune cells can be reliably identified using imaging mass cytometry in the skin and synovium. Interpatient heterogeneity exists in tissue cell populations.

Developing deoxyhypusine synthase (DHPS) inhibitors against melanoma VM is clinically essential. In this study, we optimized and synthesized a series of compounds based on the candidate structure, and the hit compound 7k was identified through enzyme assay and cell viability inhibition screening. Both inside and outside the cell, 7k's ability to target DHPS and its high affinity were demonstrated. Molecular dynamics and point mutation indicated that mutations of K329 or V129 in DHPS abolish 7k's inhibitory activity. Using PCR arrays, solid-state antibody microarrays, and angiogenesis assays investigated 7k's impact on melanoma cells to reveal that DHPS regulates melanoma VM by promoting FGFR2 and c-KIT expression. Surprisingly, 7k was discovered to inhibit MC1R-mediated melanin synthesis in the zebrafish. Pharmacokinetic evaluations demonstrated 7k's favorable properties, and xenograft models evidenced its notable anti-melanoma efficacy, achieving a TGI of 73 %.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest among researchers in exploring the potential health benefits of sudachitin, spurred by its presence in traditional diets and its association with various positive health outcomes. Studies conducted over the past decade have revealed promising effects of sudachitin in multiple health conditions, including cancer, skin disorders, inflammatory conditions, diabetes, obesity, and neurodegenerative disorders. Although these promising results exist, there is still a need for thorough preclinical and clinical research to confirm sudachitin's effectiveness in treating chronic conditions. This review seeks to summarize animal and cell studies exploring sudachitin's pharmacological properties and the potential molecular pathways underlying its therapeutic effects. Through this, we aim to clarify the clinical potential of sudachitin across various disorders, paving the way for future research and the development of sudachitin-based therapies."

In this study, we used a drug identification and repurposing pipeline to identify candidate targetable drivers of disease and corresponding therapies through application of causal reasoning using a combination of open-access resources and transcriptomics data. We optimized our approach on psoriasis as a disease model, demonstrating the ability to identify known and, to date, unrecognized molecular drivers of psoriasis and link them to current and emerging therapies. Application of our approach to a cohort of tissue samples of necrobiosis lipoidica (an unrelated; rare; and, to date, molecularly poorly characterized cutaneous inflammatory disorder) identified a unique set of upstream regulators, particularly highlighting the role of IFNG and the Jak-signal transducer and activator of transcription pathway as a likely driver of disease pathogenesis and linked it to Jak inhibitors as potential therapy. Analysis of an independent cohort of necrobiosis lipoidica samples validated these findings, with the overall agreement of drug-matched upstream regulators above 96%. These data highlight the utility of our approach in rare diseases and offer an opportunity for drug discovery in other rare diseases in dermatology and beyond."

However, the emergence of drug resistance and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions underscore the pressing need to explore increasingly personalized immunotherapeutic modalities. Extracellular Vesicles (EVs), pivotal derivatives of immune cells, assume pivotal roles by encapsulating proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids within bilayer lipid structures, thereby facilitating targeted delivery to other immune cells. This orchestrated process orchestrates critical functions including antigen presentation, immune modulation, and the induction of apoptosis in tumor cells. A burgeoning body of evidence underscores the vast therapeutic potential of EVs in melanoma treatment. This comprehensive review aims to delineate the roles of EVs derived from immune cells such as dendritic cells, natural killer cells, macrophages, and T cells in the context of melanoma patients, thereby furnishing invaluable insights for the future direction of melanoma immunotherapy."

This review outlines the historical background, classification, and diversity of IM, elucidating its pivotal roles in oncogenicity, cancer development, and progression, alongside its influence on anti-tumor immunity. The signaling pathways through which IM impacts tumorigenesis and immunity, including reactive oxygen species (ROS), β-catenin, stimulator of interferon genes (STING), and other pathways [NF-κB, Toll-like receptor (TLR), complement, RhoA/ROCK, PKR-like ER kinase (PERK)], are discussed comprehensively. Furthermore, we briefly introduce the clinical implications of IM, emphasizing its potential as a target for novel cancer therapies, diagnostic biomarkers, and prognostic indicators. Notably, microbe-based therapeutic strategies such as fecal microbiome transplantation (FMT), probiotics regulation, bacteriotherapy, bacteriophage therapy, and oncolytic virotherapy are highlighted. These strategies hold promise for enhancing the efficacy of current cancer treatments and warrant further exploration in clinical settings."
+1071,skin cancer,39390765,Relative Tumour Volume in Canine Oral Melanoma Staging and Prognosis.,"Melanoma is one of the most common canine oral malignant tumours and is highly aggressive and metastatic, even at the early stages of development. Surgery relies on wide excision of the primary tumour and regional lymphadenectomy, with or without adjuvant therapy. Tumour location and size are important when considering staging, which ultimately affects the curative intent of surgery. Nevertheless, absolute tumour volume (TV) is not related to the vast phenotypic variability within canine breeds. This study aimed to determine the cutoff values of two ratios-tumour-to-head volume (THR) and tumour-to-body volume (TBR)-and assess whether they could be associated with the odds of finding metastasis at presentation and/or the likelihood of achieving tumour-free excision margins. A retrospective case series involving 51 dogs was used to evaluate the preoperative head/neck and chest computed tomography and histopathology of the primary mass and excised lymph nodes. Higher TV, THR% and TBR% values were associated with bone lysis and mitotic count (MC). The Ki67 index was significantly associated with local and distant metastases at presentation, whereas MC was associated with local metastasis alone. Tumour-infiltrated surgical margins were associated with caudally located tumours, regardless of the tumour size. Dogs with lymph node metastasis at presentation were seven times more prone to have local relapse. TV, THR% and TBR% values were positively associated with local lymph node metastasis at presentation. Cutoff values for both TV and TBR% were proposed to predict lymph node metastasis at presentation (TV = 6.423 cm"

+1073,skin cancer,39389842,Electron radiation therapy: Back to the future?,"Electron radiotherapy has long been preferred to photons for the treatment of superficial lesions because of its physical characteristics (high dose at the surface, rapid decrease in depth). Other characteristics (penumbra, heterogeneity on an oblique or irregular surface) make them difficult to use. In most indications (skin cancers, head and neck, medulloblastoma), with technical progress, in some cases they have been replaced by intensity-modulated conformal radiotherapy, brachytherapy and contact therapy. Other indications (drainage of mesotheliomas or irradiation of benign lesions) have disappeared. The low frequency of use leads to problems of safety and cost-effectiveness. However, modern photon radiotherapy techniques are still less effective than electrons in specific indications such as total skin irradiation (mycosis fungoides) or certain thin chest wall irradiations after total mastectomy, reirradiation or paediatric treatments without protons. Flash therapy, initiated by electrons, has been developed over the last 10 years, providing high-dose irradiation in an extremely short time. Initial results show good efficacy, with fewer side effects than with conventional radiotherapy. These results are leading to clinical technological developments on a larger scale. Although it has been replaced in most indications by more modern techniques, electron radiotherapy remains essential for targeted indications in specialised centres. The emergence of flash therapy will lead to new indications, on machines equipped with this new technology, which have yet to be defined and are currently the responsibility of specialised teams."

CMN syndrome is usually caused by postzygotic mutations in the neuroblastoma RAS viral oncogene homolog (NRAS) gene. CMN, collections of melanocytes within the skin, are typically multiple in number and serve as a visible, cutaneous marker of this syndrome. CMN can be classified by predicted maximum diameter in adulthood as well as other clinical features such as anatomic location, color heterogeneity, hypertrichosis, number of satellite nevi, nodules, and surface rugosity. Common neurological abnormalities in CMN syndrome include melanin with the central nervous system (CNS), seizures, and neurodevelopmental delays. Early screening magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the CNS during the initial months of life is crucial for predicting the risk of neurodevelopmental abnormalities, seizures, and the need for neurosurgical intervention. Children with a normal screening CNS MRI or intraparenchymal melanosis alone tend to have favorable outcomes. Prognosis otherwise varies widely given the breadth of neurological abnormalities that can occur in CMN syndrome, however if primary melanoma develops in the skin or CNS then outcomes are typically poor."

Although rare, it is a deadly tumor, with a long-term prognosis of death occurring in more than 50% of the cases. It is characterized by frequent (∼80%) driver mutations in GNAQ and GNA11 genes, both of which are activated by cysteinyl leukotriene receptors (CYSLTRs). CYSLTR1 is upregulated and participated in the progression of several cancers. In the present study, we sought to determine the expression levels of CYSLTR1 in 31 human UM specimens and cell lines (3 primary and 1 metastatic), and its role in the proliferation and viability of these cells by analyzing cell metabolic activity, cell confluence and apoptosis levels. We show that all analyzed UM specimens and cells expressed CYSLTR1 at high levels. Notably, the pharmacological blockage of this receptor, using the inverse agonist MK571, reduced the growth and metabolic activity, and increased the apoptotic cell death of all analyzed UM cell lines. We provide evidence that CYSLTR1 is expressed in human UM and plays a significant role in UM progression behavior. Our data highlight the potential beneficial effects of targeting CYSLTR1 in the control of UM progression."

Melanocyte proliferation and melanin production (i.e., melanogenesis) are crucial for determining skin color. Disruption of these processes can cause pigmentary skin disorders, including hypo-pigmentary disorders such as vitiligo and hyper-pigmentary disorders such as melasma. Understanding these processes is important for discovering new targets to tackle these skin disorders. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of oxytocin (OXT) on melanocyte functions. Normal Human Cultured Melanocytes (NHCM) were treated with different OXT doses to investigate OXT effects and mechanisms on NHCM proliferation, migration, and on melanogenesis. OXT significantly increased NHCM proliferation and migration in a dose-dependent manner after 72 h of treatment. In addition, OXT dose-dependently upregulated melanogenesis-related microphtalmia-associated transcription factor, tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein (TYRP)-1, and TYRP-2 expression accompanied by an increased trend in melanosome number and maturation stage. Furthermore, OXT at concentrations (62.5-125 nM) increased melanin production. These findings suggest the involvement of OXT receptor (OXTR). In addition, this study demonstrates that OXT stimulates melanocyte proliferation, migration, with a tendency toward melanosome maturation, while it modulates melanin production in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, OXT system including its receptor OXTR may be a potential therapeutic target for skin pigmentary disorders."

Several targets have undergone investigation for the development of drugs against this pathology. One of the main targets is the kinase BRAF (RAF, rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma). The most common mutation in melanoma is BRAFV600E and has been reported in 50-90% of patients with melanoma. Due to the relevance of the BRAFV600E mutation, inhibitors to this kinase have been developed, vemurafenib-OMe and dabrafenib. Ursolic acid (UA) is a pentacyclic triterpene with a privileged structure, the pentacycle scaffold, which allows to have a broad variety of biological activity; the most studied is its anticancer capacity. In this work, we reported the interaction profile of vemurafenib-OMe, dabrafenib, and UA, to define whether UA has binding capacity to BRAFWT, BRAFV600E, and BRAFV600K. Homology modeling of BRAFWT, V600E, and V600K; molecular docking; and molecular dynamics simulations were carried out and interactions and residues relevant to the binding of the inhibitors were obtained. We found that UA, like the inhibitors, presents hydrogen bond interactions, and hydrophobic interactions of van der Waals, and π-stacking with I463, Q530, C532, and F583. The ΔG of ursolic acid in complex with BRAFV600K (- 63.31 kcal/mol) is comparable to the ΔG of the selective inhibitor dabrafenib (- 63.32 kcal/mol) in complex to BRAFV600K and presents a ΔG like vemurafenib-OMe with BRAFWT and V600E. With this information, ursolic acid could be considered as a lead compound for design cycles and to optimize the binding profile and the selectivity towards mutations for the development of new selective inhibitors for BRAFV600E and V600K to new potential melanoma treatments."

The features of the biological effects of internal irradiation by these radionuclides are a subject of scientific discussions and research. The publication presents data on internal radiation doses in experimental Wistar rats that were exposed to sprayed neutron-activated microparticles of 31SiO2. Doses of internal radiation could be conditionally divided into three groups according to their values. It has been found that elevated values of internal radiation doses in rats' organs/tissues as a result of exposure to sprayed 31SiO2 microparticles with initial activity of 3.2 × 107 Bq varied from 10 to 120 mGy (eyes, lungs, skin, stomach, jejunum, large intestine). The moderate dose values were in the range from 1.9 to 3.7 mGy (trachea, esophagus, ileum). The smallest doses were received by the kidney, testis, blood, cerebellum, heart, liver, cerebrum, bladder, spleen and thymus (from 0.11 to 0.94 mGy).

Significant risk factors for XGP are represented by the coexistence of history of nephrolithiasis, diabetes mellitus, recurrent urinary tract infections and other immunocompromised conditions. It is also associated with higher risk of malignancy, reported in up to 11% of patients. We report a case of a 76-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with an insidious onset of abdominal and right lower back pain. She had a history of renal stones and diabetes mellitus. On physical examination, a painful fistulous orifice in skin on the right lumbar region was found. CT images showed a nonfunctioning right kidney replaced by multiple necrotic cavities with inflammatory involvement of the right hepatic lobe and a nephron-cutaneous fistula. These CT findings were strongly suggestive of XGP (III state). CT images obtained before and after the administration of intravenous contrast material showed also a hyper-vascularized renal mass with irregularly thickened walls confirmed by a targeted CEUS examination and suspicious for malignancy. Pathologic examination confirmed the chronic pyelonephritis and revealed evidence of a concomitant sarcomatoid lesion. This case underlines the central role of a multimodality imaging approach in the emergency department and how this affects the correct management and treatment of patients.

Clinical findings included fever, weight loss, and night sweats. Computed tomography (CT) revealed an irregularly shaped mass bordering the upper lobe of the left lung and mediastinum, as well as hepatosplenomegaly. Suspecting lung cancer or malignant lymphoma, the patient was referred to our hospital for further evaluation. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) revealed hepatosplenomegaly with accumulation of contrast agents in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow, as well as in a mass in the left upper lobe. A liver biopsy revealed atypical cells in the sinusoids, and immunohistochemical staining confirmed B-cell lymphoma. Chemotherapy was initiated immediately. PET/CT at the follow-up evaluation showed that the hepatosplenomegaly and bone marrow-related accumulation of contrast agents had resolved, but the accumulation of contrast agents in the mediastinal lymph nodes and the left upper lobe mass persisted, despite shrinkage.

We have previously shown that VZV infection has a profound effect on keratinocyte differentiation, altering the normal pattern of epidermal gene expression. In particular, VZV infection reduces expression of suprabasal keratins 1 and 10 and desmosomal proteins, disrupting epidermal structure to promote expression of a blistering phenotype. Here, we extend these findings to show that VZV infection upregulates the expression of keratin 15 (KRT15), a marker expressed by basal epidermal keratinocytes and hair follicles stem cells. We demonstrate that KRT15 is essential for VZV replication in the skin, since downregulation of KRT15 inhibits VZV replication in keratinocytes, while KRT15 exogenous overexpression supports viral replication. Importantly, our data show that VZV upregulation of KRT15 depends on the expression of the VZV immediate early gene ORF62. ORF62 is the only regulatory gene that is mutated in the live attenuated VZV vaccine and contains four of the five fixed mutations present in the VZV Oka vaccine. Our data indicate that the mutated vaccine ORF62 is not capable of upregulating KRT15, suggesting that this may contribute to the vaccine attenuation in skin. Taken together our data present a novel association between VZV and KRT15, which may open a new therapeutic window for a topical targeting of VZV replication in the skin via modulation of KRT15."

However, 60% experience severe adverse events and early response markers are lacking. Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) is a promising biomarker for treatment-response and recurrence detection. The prospective PET/LIT study included 104 patients with palliative combined or adjuvant ICI. Tumour-informed sequencing panels to monitor 30 patient-specific variants were designed and 321 liquid biopsies of 87 patients sequenced.

To address this dilemma, we develop a peptide-based bicomponent nanocarrier with encapsulation of a cellular hyperautophagy activator (STF-62247) for near-infrared (NIR) photo/immunotherapy to eliminate primary and metastatic breast tumors. The electrostatic-driven nanodrug (PPNPs@STF) with active-targeting and efficient endosomal escape can induce specific ICD effect upon NIR laser irradiation, and trigger autophagy to a mild activation state. Notably, the simultaneously released STF-62247 precisely promotes autophagy to an overactivated state, resulting in autophagic death of tumor cells and further boosting ICD-related antigen presentation. More importantly, the combined photo/immunotherapy of PPNPs@STF not only inhibits tumor cell proliferation, but also promotes dendritic cells (DCs)-associated immune response. In 4 T1 tumor-bearing mice, PPNPs@STF effectively inhibits growth of primary and distant tumors, and suppresses lung metastasis with a minimized side effect. This study provides a hyperautophagy activator-assisted strategy that can enhance ICD-based antitumor immune response for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer."

Much less is known regarding their role and function in skin health and disease than regarding the roles of murine skin-resident γδT cells. In this study, we report the successful integration of Vδ1 T cells into long-term fibroblast-derived matrix skin equivalents. We isolated Vδ1 T cells from human blood, where they are rare, and established conditions for the integration and maintenance of the freshly isolated Vδ1 T cells in the skin equivalents. Plated on top of the dermal equivalents, almost all Vδ1 T cells migrated into the dermal matrix where they exerted their influence on both the dermal equivalents and the epithelium. Vδ1 T cells contributed to epidermal differentiation of HaCaT cells as indicated by histology, expression of epidermal differentiation markers, and RNA-sequencing expression profile. When complemented with the carcinoma-derived SCC13 cells instead of HaCaT, our data suggest a role for Vδ1 T cells in slowing growth of the tumor cells, as indicated by reduced stratification and changes in gene expression profiles. Together, we demonstrate the successful establishment of human Vδ1 T cell-competent skin equivalents and skin carcinoma equivalents and provide evidence for molecular and functional consequences of the Vδ1 T cells on their respective environment."
+1107,skin cancer,39383788,Nrf2 inhibits M1 macrophage polarization to ameliorate renal ischemia-reperfusion injury through antagonizing NF-κB signaling.,"Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a condition that arises from a sudden interruption of the blood flow to the kidney for a period of time followed by restoration of the blood supply. This process contributes to acute kidney injury (AKI), increases morbidity and mortality, and is a major risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2 (Nrf2) has been shown to exhibit strong anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects, which are reciprocally regulated by the pro-inflammatory actions of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling. In this study, we established a model of AKI caused by renal IRI in mice lacking the Nrf2 gene (KO-Nrf2) and mice pre-injected with ML385 (Nrf2 inhibitor). In addition, LPS- or IL-4-induced M1- or M2-type polarized macrophages (RAW264.7), respectively, were also treated with Nrf2 activation and inhibition. The results demonstrated a more pronounced activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway in the Nrf2 inhibition model, accompanied by a more severe inflammatory effect. In cultured macrophages and renal IRI mice, Nrf2 inhibition activated M1 macrophage polarization, thereby increasing the release of proinflammatory cell factors (iNOS and TNF-α) and aggravating renal IRI. Notably, the inhibitory effect of Nrf2 on M1 macrophage polarization was related to the downregulation of the NF-κB signaling pathway activity, resulting in partial relief of renal IRI. Consequently, our findings indicated that Nrf2 inhibits M1 macrophage polarization to ameliorate renal IRI through antagonizing NF-κB signaling. Targeted activation of Nrf2 may be one of the important strategies for renal IRI treatment."

However, its anti-inflammatory molecular mechanism remains largely elusive to date. Here, we developed an affinity-based label-free protein profiling (ALFPP) to identify potential covalent targets of electrophilic natural products with ketone or aldehyde groups. Using ALFPP, we identified 27 potential covalent targets of adenanthin, among which p65 (RelA) has been associated with its anti-inflammatory activities. Through a series of experiments, including LC-MS/MS, molecular docking, electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA), and genome editing, we demonstrated that adenanthin could covalently modify the Cys38 residue of p65 to affect the binding of DNA to p65, thereby inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway. ALFPP will facilitate the target identification of electrophilic carbonylated natural products, especially those containing α, β-unsaturated keto groups. Furthermore, the elucidation of the molecular mechanism of adenanthin will contribute to new drug development of adenanthin to treat inflammations and cancers, enhancing the possibility for its clinical application."

+1110,skin cancer,39383365,The ethanolic extract of Gomphrena celosioides is not carcinogenic and has antigenotoxic effects and chemopreventive Properties.,"Gomphrena celosioides, popularly known as perpétua, perpétua brava, bachelor´s button and prostate globe amarahth, is used for the treatment of urinary tract disorders, kidney stones, for skin diseases, infectious diseases, gastrointestinal and respiratory conditions. Rich in phenolic acids and flavonoids, this plant has therefore a potential for use in cancer prevention. Given the above, the present research aimed to evaluate the carcinogenic effect of the ethanolic extract of G. celosioides (EEGc) in an alternative model of Drosophila melanogaster and the genotoxic and antigenotoxic effects in Swiss mice. The larval survival test and the detection of epithelial tumor clones were performed in D. melanogaster. The tested EEGc concentrations were 0.96, 1.92, 3.85 and 7.70 mg/mL. In Swiss mice, the genotoxicity and antigenotoxicity of doses of 100, 1,000 and 2,000 mg/Kg were evaluated. The results showed that EEGc at a concentration of 7.70 mg/mL reduced (p<0.05) larval survival. However, EEGc was not carcinogenic, and the lowest concentration (0.96 mg/mL) prevented (p<0.05) the basal occurrence of epithelial tumors. In mice, EEGc at the highest dose (2,000mg/Kg) increased the frequency of genomic lesions (p<0.05). Yet, none of the doses caused chromosomal lesions (p>0.05). When associated with cyclophosphamide, EEGc was antigenotoxic (p<0.05). The percentages of reduction of genomic damage ranged from 33.39 to 63.23% and of chromosomal damage from 20.00 to 77.19%. In view of the above, it is suggested that EEGc is not carcinogenic, has an antigenotoxic effect and chemopreventive properties."

+1113,skin cancer,39382506,Incidence of intestinal & extra-intestinal cancers among individuals with Crohn's disease in northern India.,"Background & objectives Crohn's disease (CD) is associated with a higher risk of malignancy, which is attributed to disease behaviour and the usage of immunosuppressants. The burden of malignancy in CD is scarcely reported from Asia. We report real-world data on CD-related malignancy from a northern Indian cohort. Methods This retrospective analysis included individuals with CD who were followed up at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, from 2005 to 2021. The standardized incidence ratio (SIR) was used to calculate the relative risk of malignancy in CD affected individuals compared to the general population. Results In this study, 952 study participants were included, with a mean age at diagnosis of 36.9±15.11 yr; 61.1 per cent were male. The median follow-up duration was 34 months [IQR (interquartile range): 19-73]. Most study participants received steroids (76.7%), immunomodulators (68.7%), or anti-TNF therapy (10.8%). The overall incidence of malignancy was 1.05 per cent, indicating a 10.45 times higher risk in CD [SIR: 10.45; 95% Confidence interval (CI):4.98-17.96]. Eight out of 826, 1 of 106 and 1 of 25 study participants developed malignancy in the first, second and third decades, respectively. The cumulative risk of malignancy was 2.7, 5.5, and 13.4 per cent in the first, second, and third decades, respectively. Regarding bowel malignancies, one study participant each developed ileocaecal adenocarcinoma, anorectal adenocarcinoma, malignant rectal fibrous histiocytoma, and gastric adenocarcinoma. Extraintestinal malignancies included single cases each of follicular neoplasia of the thyroid, neuroendocrine tumour of the pancreatic tail, breast cancer, hepatocellular cancer, oral cancer, and prostate cancer. No cases of lymphoma or skin malignancy were reported. Interpretation & conclusions At 30 yr, the cumulative risk of malignancy among Indian CD-affected individuals was 13.4 per cent, with a SIR of 10.45 (95% CI: 4.98- 17.96). The risk increased with increasing age at disease onset and duration."
+1114,skin cancer,39382264,Transcriptomic Analysis of Early-Stage Basal Cell Carcinomas in Murine Skin Following Topical Treatments With Ablative Fractional Laser and Vismodegib.,"Recent studies have demonstrated that ablative fractional laser (AFL) can inhibit the hedgehog pathway, enhance immune infiltration and clear basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) in murine models. In this study, we applied RNA sequencing to further characterise the impact of AFL on the transcriptome of murine skin containing early-stage microscopic BCCs, contrasting it with the effects of topical application of the hedgehog inhibitor vismodegib. Our results showed that BCC induction in murine skin was primarily linked to gene upregulation (significantly upregulated genes: 277, significantly downregulated genes: 24). Characterisation of these genes with Ingenuity Pathway Analysis showed that tumour induction was associated with activation of BCC and Sonic Hedgehog signalling. Both AFL and vismodegib treatments reversed these changes, with vismodegib demonstrating superior performance by reversing most of the upregulated genes (AFL: 59/277; vismodegib: 180/277). Surprisingly, Ingenuity Pathway Analysis also revealed that both AFL and vismodegib treatments caused considerable immune cell infiltration. Based on gene set enrichment analysis and cell type deconvolution, AFL treatment resulted in the largest immune cell recruitment, which for both treatments primarily consisted of infiltrating neutrophils, macrophages and monocytes. In conclusion, the distinct effects observed in BCC skin following AFL and vismodegib treatment suggest key differences between the two interventions. Future applications of AFL or vismodegib treatments could leverage their individual effects, for example by combining the effect of AFL on the immune system with other topical treatments."

Due consideration is to be given to the possible toxicities of adjuvant radiotherapy as well. Free bone-soft tissue flaps are ideally suited in such situations. However, a single flap may fall inadequate for large defects. Using two free flaps in combination increases operating time and donor site morbidities. Non-vascularized bone grafts combined with large soft tissue flaps harbor the risk of bone resorption and osteo-radio necrosis. Alloplastic implants can lead to exposure and infection. We conducted a study researching the outcome of non-vascularized cortico-cancellous iliac bone graft (NVCIBG) used in orbital floor reconstruction along with free anterolateral thigh (FALT) flap in subjects undergoing extensive surgical ablation and adjuvant radiotherapy."

Physicians face the challenge to find single, extremely rare PAD patients/families among the millions of individuals with common allergic diseases. We describe case scenarios with signature PAD. We review the literature and deduct specific clinical red flags for PAD detection. They include a positive family history and/or signs of pathological susceptibility to infections, immunodysregulation, or syndromic disease. Results of conventional laboratory and most immunological lab studies are not sufficient to make a definitive diagnosis of PAD. In the past, multistep narrowing of differential diagnoses by various immunological and other laboratory tests led to testing of single genes or gene panel analyses, which was a time-consuming and often unsuccessful approach. The implementation of whole-genomic analyses in the routine diagnostics has led to a paradigm shift. Upfront genome-wide analysis by whole genome sequencing (WGS) will shorten the time to diagnosis, save patients from unnecessary investigations, and reduce morbidity and mortality. We propose a rational, clinical landmark-based approach for deciding which cases pass the filter for carrying out early WGS. WGS result interpretation requires a great deal of caution regarding the causal relationship of variants in PAD phenotypes and absence of proof by adequate functional tests. In case of negative WGS results, a re-iteration attitude with re-analyses of the data (using the latest data base annotation)) may eventually lead to PAD diagnosis. PAD, like many other rare genetic diseases, will only be successfully managed, if physicians from different clinical specialties and geneticists interact regularly in multidisciplinary conferences."

+1132,skin cancer,39379700,Inhibition and degradation of NRAS with a pan-NRAS monobody.,"The RAS family GTPases are the most frequently mutated oncogene family in human cancers. Activating mutations in either of the three RAS isoforms (HRAS, KRAS, or NRAS) are found in nearly 20% of all human tumors with NRAS mutated in ~25% of melanomas. Despite remarkable advancements in therapies targeted against mutant KRAS, NRAS-specific pharmacologics are lacking. Thus, development of inhibitors of NRAS would address a critical unmet need to treating primary tumors harboring NRAS mutations as well as BRAF-mutant melanomas, which frequently develop resistance to clinically approved BRAF inhibitors through NRAS mutation. Building upon our previous studies with the monobody NS1 that recognizes HRAS and KRAS but not NRAS, here we report the development of a monobody that specifically binds to both GDP and GTP-bound states of NRAS and inhibits NRAS-mediated signaling in a mutation-agnostic manner. Further, this monobody can be formatted into a genetically encoded NRAS-specific degrader. Our study highlights the feasibility of developing NRAS selective inhibitors for therapeutic efforts."

Using the TrinetX database, we studied the risk of growth impairment, sleep disorders, learning disabilities, and diabetes mellitus in children aged 10-17 years who had received propranolol for IH in infancy. The maximum age of 17 years was chosen for the study, as propranolol was established as a treatment for IH in 2008. The results showed no statistically significant risk of growth impairment, sleep disorders, learning disabilities, or diabetes mellitus in IH patients treated with propranolol.

The primary outcome variable was treatment refusal, and secondary variables included days from diagnosis to treatment, tumor depth, and mortality. Among the 151,733 patients analyzed, most were non-Hispanic White (99%) and male (71%). Black patients had the greatest odds of treatment refusal (4.166, 95% CI: 2.054-8.452, p < 0.001) across all cutaneous malignancies of the head and neck. Black and Hispanic patients also had increased times from diagnosis to treatment (p < 0.001). Black patients had higher odds of 90-day mortality compared to non-Hispanic White patients (p < 0.001). This coincided with greater tumor depth in Black and Hispanic patients compared to that of non-Hispanic White patients (p < 0.001). Black patients were more likely to refuse treatment for head and neck cutaneous malignancies. Moreover, Black and Hispanic patients experienced more treatment delays. These findings may relate to the increased 90-day mortality among Black patients and increased tumor depth in Black and Hispanic patients.

This meta-analysis evaluates ruxolitinib's efficacy and safety against best available therapy (BAT) in patients with PV and in hydroxyurea-resistant/intolerant PV patients. A comprehensive literature search was conducted up to November 2023. We compared ruxolitinib and BAT for efficacy and safety endpoints. Six studies involving 1061 patients were analyzed, with 620 on BAT and 441 on ruxolitinib. Ruxolitinib showed higher hematocrit control (p = 0.015) and treatment response (p = 0.04) compared to BAT. It also significantly improved Myeloproliferative Neoplasms-Symptom Assessment Form scores (MPN-SAF) (p < 0.01). Additionally, patients with PV treated with ruxolitinib had higher rates of nonmelanoma skin cancer (p < 0.01). In subgroup analyses focusing on patients resistant or intolerant to hydroxyurea, ruxolitinib maintained its efficacy, significantly improving treatment response (p < 0.01) and significant improvements in MPN-SAF (p = 0.02) score when compared to BAT. The safety profile was consistent with the overall analyses, showing significantly reduced thromboembolism rates (p = 0.04), increased rates of anemia (p = 0.01), and increased herpes zoster infections (p = 0.02). Ruxolitinib outperforms BAT in PV and patients with PV-resistant or intolerant to hydroxyurea, offering better hematocrit control and reducing symptomatic burden and thromboembolism risk. Yet, it is associated with higher rates of anemia, herpes infection, and skin cancer."

The latest edition of the World Health Organization's classification of skin tumors serves as a comprehensive compendium, summarizing and categorizing all recent advancements in both anatomical-pathological and molecular aspects of cutaneous neoplasms. Several relevant advances have been introduced and new entities have been described. While the fundamental structure of the classification remains unchanged, notable additions include three new sections aimed at providing a more exhaustive description of skin lesions: nail unit tumors, skin metastases, and genetic tumor syndromes associated with skin malignancies. Recent strides in molecular pathology have led to significant breakthroughs in decoding the underlying mechanisms of various skin tumors, ranging from adnexal neoplasms to hematolymphoid neoplasms, soft tissue tumors, and melanocytic lesions. Of particular importance is the evolution in our understanding of melanocytic neoplasms, with the introduction of the term ""melanocytoma"" reserved for lesions exhibiting ""intermediate"" biological behavior and characterized by specific molecular mutations. The pathologic diagnosis process integrates morphological, immunohistochemical, and molecular features, playing a crucial role in clinical decision-making. The WHO classification serves as a valuable tool in promoting multidisciplinarity in the management of cutaneous neoplasms with the aim of translating novel pathological discoveries into more effective treatments. This review aims to distill the major updates introduced by the new classification, providing a synthesis of the latest scientific insights."

Europe has the global lead in the number of UV-attributable cancer cases with the highest number of melanoma cases worldwide and the second highest number of keratinocyte cancers (KC). Further increases are expected in Europe for the coming decades. Projected increases are highest for KC with increases in incidence around 40% and increases in mortality around 50%, with KC mortality in males approximating melanoma mortality in females. The two main drivers for this skin cancer epidemic are ageing of the population but especially UV exposure. In conclusion, skin cancer represents a major challenge in the cancer field in Europe today and will continue to do so in the coming decades. This calls for a European skin cancer action plan intended to reduce avoidable UV exposure and to prepare the healthcare system to safeguard early diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer."

We present a unique case of a 46-year-old obese African-American woman with a recurrent, deep abscess in her left axilla. It was initially treated with several incision and drainage procedures and antibiotics. Despite multiple interventions, the abscess recurred with severe pain and drainage. Subsequent biopsies revealed a high-grade malignant neoplasm, later confirmed as poorly differentiated cSCC with primary metastases to the lungs and secondary metastases to the adrenal glands and periaortic lymph nodes. Immunohistochemical staining supported the diagnosis. The patient's atypical presentation, including her race, a non-sun-exposed site, and younger age, highlights the need for vigilance in diagnosing cSCC in atypical cases. This case underscores the importance of early consideration of cSCC in differential diagnoses for persistent or recurrent abscesses, which can facilitate timely treatment, potentially preventing extensive metastasis and improving patient outcomes."
+1148,skin cancer,39376672,Higher Nodal expression is often associated with poorer survival in patients diagnosed with melanoma and treated with anti-PD1 therapy.,"Advanced melanoma is considered the most aggressive and deadly form of skin cancer whose incidence has been rising over the past three decades. In the absence of treatment, the median overall survival for advanced-stage metastatic disease is less than 6 months. Although most melanomas detected at an early stage can be cured with surgery, a subset of these eventually metastasize. Therefore, a critical need exists to identify unique molecular features that would be predictive of long-term outcome and response to specific therapies. Recent promising therapeutic regimens have included the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD1 antibodies. However, the ability to identify responders and non-responders to this therapy remains elusive. To address this challenge at the molecular level, previously our laboratory identified the emergence of a stem cell phenotype associated with advanced melanoma and other aggressive forms of cancer. Underlying this phenotype is the aberrant re-expression of the embryonic morphogen ""Nodal"". Particularly noteworthy, we have observed Nodal to remain in advanced tumors of non-responders to standard-of-care therapies (i.e., BRAFi). This pilot study is the first proof-of-principle attempt to predict treatment response survival outcome in a small cohort of melanoma patients receiving anti-PD1 immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy - based on their Nodal expression profile. Using advanced multiplex immunohistochemistry-based digital pathology, the major finding of this preliminary study indicates that higher Nodal expression is often associated with poorer overall survival after anti-PD1 therapy, reaching nearly statistical relevance."

However, despite the accumulated advances in melanoma treatment including adjuvant radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, the overall melanoma treatment efficacy in the clinics is still not satisfactory. Interestingly, bacterial therapeutics have demonstrated unique properties for tumor-related therapeutic applications, such as tumor-targeted motility, tailorable cytotoxicity, and immunomodulatory capacity of the tumor microenvironment, which have emerged as a promising platform for melanoma therapy. Indeed, the recent advances in genetic engineering and nanotechnologies have boosted the application potential of bacterium-based therapeutics for treating melanoma by further enhancing their tumor-homing, cell-killing, drug delivery, and immunostimulatory capacities. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the state-of-the-art bacterium-based anti-melanoma modalities, which are categorized according to their unique functional merits, including tumor-specific cytotoxins, tumor-targeted drug delivery platforms, and immune-stimulatory agents. Furthermore, a perspective is provided discussing the potential challenges and breakthroughs in this area.

Within this group of substances are linear methyl-siloxanes and cyclic methyl-siloxanes, with octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) being the most produced and used industrially. Due to their versatility, high production volume, stability, and local presence in environmental matrices and biological fluids such as breast milk, fat, and plasma, siloxanes have been considered persistent organic pollutants, representing a public health problem. This represents a public health concern, especially when different investigations have reported potential endocrine effects at the reproductive level in experimental animals exposed to D4 and D5. The objective of this study was to review the potential reproductive and endocrine effects derived from siloxanes present in personal care products (PCPs). The results of the literature review confirmed that D4 and D5 were the most used siloxanes as additives in PCP because they improve the emollient properties of the cosmetic and the physical appearance of hair and skin. Similarly the toxicological effects of siloxanes, particularly D4, D5, and D6 included significant endocrine disruption, reproductive toxicity, and liver toxicity. Studies in SD and F-344 rats, commonly used to assess these effects, have shown that D4 has low estrogenic activity, binding to ER-α receptors, whereas D5 does not bind to estrogen receptors. D4 exposure has been associated with increased uterine weight and estrous cycle alterations, leading to prolonged exposure to estrogens, which raises the risk of endometrial hyperproliferation and carcinogenesis. Recent research highlights that D5 exposure disrupts follicle growth, endometrial receptivity, and steroidogenesis, resulting in infertility and hormonal imbalances, potentially causing disorders like endometriosis and increased cancer risk. Chronic exposure to D5 has been linked to the development of uterine endometrial adenocarcinoma, with higher doses further elevating this risk."

With its rapid progression it is a potentially life-threatening infection, that poses as a challenge in the clinical management requiring an interdisciplinary approach.Here we present a 62-year-old woman, who developed neutropenic fever while undergoing chemotherapy for triple negative breast cancer. She presented with a high fever, reporting little pain in her left thigh accompanied by redness and induration locally. Subsequently the patient developed pain and redness of the back of the left hand. The initial findings suggested cellulitis and immediate empiric treatment with intravenous meropenem was started. Despite the antibiotic treatment the patient rapidly developed septic shock along with progression of the local infection. Emergency surgical debridement revealed extensive necrosis of the soft tissues including extensive myonecrosis of the thigh. On the left hand an extensive debridement was performed, the left lower limb could not be preserved and exarticulation of the left hip was required. Microbiologically C. septicum was isolated in different samples, confirming gas gangrene. As there was no local entry portal on the skin, hematogenous seeding from intestinal translocation in this neutropenic patient was suspected. The empiric antibiotic treatment was tailored to intravenous penicillin and complemented with clindamycin for toxin inhibition. Following radical debridement and antibiotic treatment, the patient could be stabilized. After repetitive debridement wound closure was achieved and the patient was discharged for rehabilitation. Antibiotic treatment was continued for four weeks.This rare case of gas gangrene in a neutropenic patient shows the complexity in the diagnostic and therapeutic management of necrotizing soft tissue infections in immunocompromised patients. It particularly highlights the importance of an interdisciplinary management with fast recognition of the disease and rapid, if needed radical, surgical debridement as well as tailored antibiotic treatment for a successful outcome."

Several parameter surveys were conducted with respect to the beam properties of neutron sources for boron neutron capture therapy assuming boronophenylalanine as the boron agent using our dose calculation tool, called SiDE. The ADs decreased by 3% at a thermal/epithermal ratio of 20-30% compared with the current recommendation of 5%. The skin dose increased with the increasing thermal/epithermal ratio, reaching a restricted value of 14 Gyeq at a thermal/epithermal ratio of 48%. The fast neutron component was modified using two different models, namely the 'linear model', in which the fast neutron intensity decreases log-linearly with the increasing neutron energy, and the 'moderator thickness (MT) model', in which the fast neutron component is varied by adjusting the MT in a virtual beam shaping assembly. Although a higher fast neutron component indicated a higher skin dose, the increment was <10% at a fast neutron component of <1 × 10-12 Gy cm2 for both models. Furthermore, in the MT model, the epithermal neutron intensity at a fast neutron component of 6.8 × 10-13 Gy cm2 was 41% higher compared with that of 2 × 10-13 Gy cm2. The γ-ray component also caused no significant disadvantages up to several times larger compared with the current recommendation."

+1165,skin cancer,39372762,Mechano-osmotic signals control chromatin state and fate transitions in pluripotent stem cells.,"Acquisition of specific cell shapes and morphologies is a central component of cell fate transitions. Although signaling circuits and gene regulatory networks that regulate pluripotent stem cell differentiation have been intensely studied, how these networks are integrated in space and time with morphological transitions and mechanical deformations to control state transitions remains a fundamental open question. Here, we focus on two distinct models of pluripotency, primed pluripotent stem cells and pre-implantation inner cell mass cells of human embryos to discover that cell fate transitions associate with rapid changes in nuclear shape and volume which collectively alter the nuclear mechanophenotype. Mechanistic studies in human induced pluripotent stem cells further reveal that these phenotypical changes and the associated active fluctuations of the nuclear envelope arise from growth factor signaling-controlled changes in chromatin mechanics and cytoskeletal confinement. These collective mechano-osmotic changes trigger global transcriptional repression and a condensation-prone environment that primes chromatin for a cell fate transition by attenuating repression of differentiation genes. However, while this mechano-osmotic chromatin priming has the potential to accelerate fate transitions and differentiation, sustained biochemical signals are required for robust induction of specific lineages. Our findings uncover a critical mechanochemical feedback mechanism that integrates nuclear mechanics, shape and volume with biochemical signaling and chromatin state to control cell fate transition dynamics."

The development of CMOS integrated circuit front-ends for bioimpedance analysis is required by the increasing use of wearable devices in the healthcare field, as they offer key features for battery-powered wearable devices. These features include high miniaturization, low power consumption, and low voltage power supply. A key circuit in BIS systems is the current source, and one of the most common topology is the Enhanced Howland Current Source (EHCS). EHCS is also used when the current driver is driven by a pseudo-random signal like discrete interval binary sequences (DIBS), which, due to its broadband nature, requires high performance operational amplifiers. These facts lead to the need for a current source more compatible with DIBS signals, ultra-low power supply, standard CMOS integrated circuit, output current amplitude independent of input voltage amplitude, high output impedance, high load capability, high output voltage swing, and the possibility of tetra-polar BIS analysis, that is a pseudotetra-polar in the case of EHCS. The objective of this work is to evaluate the performance of the Switching CMOS Current Source (SCMOSCS) over EHCS using a Cole-skin model as a load using SPICE simulations (DC and AC sweeps and transient analysis).

There are two types of limitations which universally exist in current melanoma therapy: Adverse effects and reduced efficiency. Cytoglobin (CYGB), an iron hexacoordinated globin, is highly enriched in melanocytes and frequently epigenetically silenced during melanoma genesis. The present study aimed to explore its potential role as a biomarker for ferroptosis treatment. It was observed that B16F10 and A375 melanoma cells with loss of CYGB expression were highly sensitive to ferroptosis inducers RSL3 and erastin, whereas G361 melanoma cells with highly enriched CYGB were resistant to RSL3 or erastin. Ectopically overexpressed CYGB rendered B16F10 and A375 cells resistant to RSL3 or erastin, accompanied by decreased proliferation and epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT). By contrast, knockdown of CYGB expression made G361 cells sensitive to ferroptosis induction but induced proliferation and EMT progression of G361 cells. Mechanistically, CYGB‑induced resistance of melanoma cells to ferroptosis may have been associated, in part, with i) Suppression of EMT; ii) upregulation of glutathione peroxidase 4 expression; iii) decrease of labile iron pool.

Typically presenting as an asymptomatic annular, papular nodule with a ""thread-like elevated border,"" DTE is usually <2 cm in diameter and commonly occurs in young to middle-aged women, particularly in cosmetically sensitive areas such as the cheeks, forehead, and chin. Histopathologically, DTE is characterized by nests and cords of basaloid cells within a dense, fibrous stroma, occasionally containing small cystic spaces filled with keratinous material. Peripheral palisading of cells is observed; significant mitotic activity is generally absent. These features distinguish DTE from other skin neoplasms like basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and microcystic adnexal carcinoma, which exhibit more aggressive histologic features. Clinically, DTE manifests as a slow-growing, skin-colored facial plaque or nodule with a depressed center, developing very slowly before stabilizing. Despite its benign nature and low risk of malignant transformation, DTE tends to grow if untreated and has a propensity for recurrence due to its poorly circumscribed histologic growth pattern. Familial cases have been reported, suggesting a potential genetic predisposition. Often an incidental finding during routine skin cancer examinations, DTE can frequently be diagnosed clinically by experienced dermatologists. The preferred treatment is surgical excision, with Mohs micrographic surgery recommended to ensure clear margins, especially in cosmetically challenging areas like the face. DTE is a unique tumor due to its benign nature, distinct histopathological features, and superficial invasion.

However, little is known about the association between the ZFHX4 mutation and the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and melanoma. Three public ICIs-treated NSCLC cohorts were divided into discovery cohort (n=75) and validation cohort (n=62), which were used to evaluate the relationship between ZFHX4 mutation and ICIs effectiveness in NSCLC. Seven ICIs-treated melanoma cohorts (n = 418) were used to analyze the relationship between ZFHX4 mutation and immunotherapy efficacy in melanoma. NSCLC and skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) cohorts from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were used to investigate underlying mechanism. Patients with ZFHX4 mutant-type (ZFHX4-Mut) showed a superior objective response rate (ORR) (P < 0.01) and longer progression-free survival (PFS) (P < 0.05) than patients with ZFHX4 wild-type (ZFHX4-WT) in NSCLC cohorts. In the melanoma cohorts, patients carrying ZFHX4-Mut had a higher ORR (P = 0.042) and longer overall survival (OS) (P = 0.011). Besides, patients with NSCLC and melanoma harboring ZFHX4-Mut had a higher tumor mutation burden (TMB) (P<0.001) and tumor neoantigen burden (TNB) (P<0.001) than those harboring ZFHX4-WT. ZFHX4 mutation was associated with higher levels of plasma B cells, activated CD4+ memory T cells, and CD8+ T cells. Seven DNA damage repair pathways were significantly enriched in the ZFHX4-Mut group. ZFHX4 mutation could serve as a predicter for the efficacy of ICIs therapy in NSCLC and melanoma."

Using intravital microscopy in mouse models of intracranial melanoma, we discovered that circulating T cells preferably adhered and extravasated at a distinct type of venous blood vessel in the tumor vicinity, peritumoral venous vessels (PVVs). Other vascular structures were excluded as alternative T cell routes to intracranial melanomas. Anti-PD-1/CTLA-4 immune checkpoint inhibitors increased intracranial T cell motility, facilitating migration from PVVs to the tumor and subsequently inhibiting intracranial tumor growth. The endothelial adhesion molecule ICAM-1 was particularly expressed on PVVs, and, in samples of human brain metastases, ICAM-1 positivity of PVV-like vessels correlated with intratumoral T cell infiltration. These findings uncover a distinct mechanism by which the immune system can access and control brain tumors and potentially influence other brain pathologies."

Starting one month after birth, the patient developed a blue-brown patch on the right side of her face, interspersed with black macules and papules. As she aged, the lesion progressively enlarged and darkened, eventually covering the entire right side of her face. Dermoscopic and reflectance confocal microscopy examinations indicated nevus spilus in some areas and nevus of Ota in others, leading to a definitive diagnosis of overlapping nevus spilus and nevus of Ota. With no signs of malignant transformation on clinical or imaging examination, successful treatment was achieved using Q-switched alexandrite laser without any adverse effects. Our case underscores the critical value of dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy in diagnosing rare facial pigmentary conditions, as we compare the imaging characteristics of nevus spilus, nevus of Ota, and similar conditions, alongside their clinical and histopathological correlations.

Over the past 20 years, dermoscopy has proven highly effective in early detection of LM/LMM, with recent studies identifying perifollicular linear projections (PLP) as a specific diagnostic criterion for early LM. However, in clinical practice, LM and LMM turn out to be very difficult to distinguish based on dermoscopic findings. Therefore, our retrospective monocentric study aimed to investigate dermoscopic characteristics, as well as the epidemiological and clinical data of 19 patients diagnosed with the external ear (EE) LM/LMM at the Oncologic Dermatology Unit in Bologna. Dermoscopic images were obtained using the FotoFinder Medicam 800HD, and specific criteria validated by the International Dermoscopy Society (IDS) for atypical pigmented facial lesions were assessed. Fisher's exact test was primarily used for statistical comparisons. As results, most of the patients were male (74%) with an average age (± SD) at diagnosis of 69.8 (± 15.1) years old. LMM appeared more commonly observed in elderly patients as compared to LM (mean 71.6 vs. 66.7, p = 0.514), presenting as pigmented macule (89.5%) of the ear lobule (23.9%). A statistically significant difference (p = 0.01) of tumour' diameter between LMM and LM was reported with the first resulting more than twice the size of the latter. Concerning dermoscopic findings, asymmetric pigmented follicles, obliteration of the follicular openings and grey circles were more frequently observed in LMM compared to LM (63.2% vs. 31.6%; 63.2% vs. 26.3%; 47.4% vs. 15.8%, respectively)."

We report outcomes with cilta-cel in the standard-of-care setting. Patients with RRMM who underwent leukapheresis for cilta-cel manufacturing between 3/1/2022-12/31/2022 at 16 US academic medical centers were included. RESULTS: 255 patients underwent leukapheresis and 236 (92.5%) received cilta-cel. Of leukapheresed patients, 56% would not have met CARTITUDE-1 trial eligibility criteria. Manufacturing failure rates at first attempt and overall were 6% and 1%, respectively. Median prior lines of therapy were 6. In treated patients (N=236), cytokine release syndrome was seen in 75% (>= grade 3: 5%), immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome in 14% (>= grade 3: 4%), and delayed neurotoxicity in 10%. Best overall and >= CR rates were as follows: infused patients (N=236): 89% and 70%; patients receiving conforming CAR-T product (N=191) 94% and 74%; conforming CAR-T product with fludarabine/cyclophosphamide lymphodepletion (N=152): 95% and 76%, respectively. Non-relapse mortality was 10%, most commonly from infection. After median follow-up of 13 months from CAR-T, median progression-free survival (PFS) was not reached, with 12- month estimate being 68% (95% CI: 62-74%). High ferritin levels, high-risk cytogenetics, and extramedullary disease were independently associated with inferior PFS, with a signal for prior BCMA-TT (p=0.08). Second primary malignancies (SPMs) excluding non-melanoma skin cancers were seen in 5.5% and myeloid malignancies/acute leukemia in 1.7%.

Furthermore, skin condition significantly affects external beauty. In today's era, which is of material and spiritual prosperity, there is growing attention on skincare and wellness. Ultraviolet radiation is one of the most common external factors that lead to conditions like sunburn, skin cancer, and skin aging. In this review, several mechanisms of UV-induced skin cell senescence are discussed, including DNA damage, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and mitochondrial dysfunction, which have their own characteristics and mutual effects. As an illustration, mitochondrial dysfunction triggers electron evasion and the generation of more reactive oxygen species, leading to oxidative stress and the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, which in turn causes mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA) damage. Based on the current mechanism, suitable prevention and treatment strategies are proposed from sunscreen, dietary, and experimental medications respectively, aimed at slowing down skin cell aging and providing protection from ultraviolet radiation. The effects of ultraviolet rays on skin is summarized, offering insights and directions for future studies on mechanism of skin cell senescence, with an anticipation of discovering more effective prevention and cure methods."

It frequently arises from malignant transformations of pleomorphic adenomas in various locations such as the parotid gland, breast, soft tissues, and lungs. Primary cutaneous myoepithelial carcinoma is exceptionally rare, often leading to delayed diagnosis. We report a case of giant primary cutaneous myoepithelial carcinoma of the left thigh, initially misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The patient, a 64-year-old male, presented with a rapidly enlarging, ulcerated, and necrotic skin lesion. The initial presentation mimicked SCC. Due to the large tumor size and anemia caused by the tumor, the patient underwent a reduced-dose chemotherapy regimen (cytarabine plus aclarubicin chemotherapy) to shrink the tumor, enabling successful local surgical resection. Post-surgery, the patient received radiotherapy and tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassium, resulting in disease control without progression for two years. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of myoepithelial carcinoma, which can mimic SCC among numerous other tumors. Accurate diagnosis relies on immunohistochemical staining and careful pathological evaluation. The case underscores the importance of considering myoepithelial carcinoma in the differential diagnosis of ulcerative tumors."

PDT utilizes photosensitizers to interact with light of specific wavelengths to generate reactive oxygen species that selectively eradicate cancer cells. Despite PDT's exceptional performance in enhancing patients' quality of life and prognosis, the limitation of treatment depth and the side effects of photosensitizers remain unresolved issues. With the advancement of novel photosensitizers and innovative treatment technology, the application prospects of PDT are increasingly expansive.

CARD14 acts as a scaffold protein, ultimately activating the transcription factor NF-KB. Although primarily studied in the context of inflammation, recent research has suggested its potential implications in tumorigenesis. In this study, we gathered The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) tumor data to gauge the involvement of CARD14 in cancer, including genetic alterations, expression patterns, survival correlations, immune cell infiltration and functional interactions across diverse cancer types. We found heightened CARD14 expression in most tumors and there was a significant correlation between CARD14 expression and the prognosis of patients for certain tumors. For instance, patients with higher CARD14 expression had a better prognosis in sarcoma, lung, cervix and head and neck cancers. Moreover, CARD14 expression positively correlated with neutrophil infiltration in most of the cancer types analyzed. Finally, enrichment analysis showed that epithelial development and differentiation pathways were involved in the functional mechanism of CARD14. Our results show that CARD14 may have the potential to become a prognostic biomarker in several cancers, hence, further prospective studies will be required for its validation."
+1222,skin cancer,39362949,PRAME expression in fibrosarcomatous dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.,"PRAME (PReferentially expressed Antigen in MElanoma) was first identified as a malignant melanoma-specific antigen. Recently, a few cases of fibrosarcomatous dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (FS-DFSP) were shown to have positivity for PRAME, while conventional dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (C-DFSP) was negative. Because PRAME may be of diagnostic utility in FS-DFSP and is raising expectations as a new immunotherapy target, we examined the positivity of PRAME in FS-DFSP. Twenty-one cases of FS-DFSP and age/sex/location-matched cases of C-DFSP as a control group were examined by immunohistochemistry for CD34 and PRAME. The results were then evaluated by H-score, which was objectively and semi-quantitatively calculated using the open-source bioimaging analysis software QuPath. The results revealed that the PRAME H-score in FS-DFSP was significantly higher than that in C-DFSP (p = 0.0137). As for CD34, the H-score in FS-DFSP was significantly lower than that in C-DFSP (p < 0.001). Using these two immunohistochemical analyses in combination, the sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of FS-DFSP were 86% and 90%, respectively. Double staining of CD34 and PRAME revealed that PRAME-positive and CD34-positive areas did not overlap. This is the largest study to examine PRAME expression in FS-DFSP, and it confirmed the usefulness of PRAME in diagnosing this condition."

Diagnostic programs that use computer aid especially those that use supervised learning are very useful in early diagnosis of skin cancer. This research therefore presents a new approach that integrates optimization methods with supervised learning to improve skin cancer diagnosis using machine vision approach. The presented method is initiated by data pre-processing that involves the removal of unnecessary data. Then, to segment the images, a combination of K-means clustering and social spider optimization technique is employed. The region of interest is then extracted from the segmented image and from this region a convolutional neural network extracts the significant features. To enhance the classification performance as compared with the standard classifiers, this research introduces a new concept of error correcting output codes coupled with a weighted Hamming distance in the group of gamma classifiers. The ability of the proposed approach in segmentation of skin lesions and classifying them was tested using samples from the ISIC-2017 and ISIC-2016 databases. The introduced method obtained state-of-the-art accuracy on both datasets (ISIC-2016: 97.10%, ISIC-2017: 95.17%). In particularly, the accuracy of the introduced approach for both these databases is at least 1.17% higher than the compared methods. This proves the high performance of the suggested method based on the usage of the convolutional neural networks for feature extraction and gamma classifiers with error correcting output codes for classification in skin cancer detection."
+1224,skin cancer,39362885,Scabies.,"Scabies is one of the most common and highest-burden skin diseases globally. Estimates suggest that >200 million people worldwide have scabies at any one time, with an annual prevalence of 455 million people, with children in impoverished and overcrowded settings being the most affected. Scabies infection is highly contagious and leads to considerable morbidity. Secondary bacterial infections are common and can cause severe health complications, including sepsis or necrotizing soft-tissue infection, renal damage and rheumatic heart disease. There is no vaccine or preventive treatment against scabies and, for the past 30 years, only few broad-spectrum antiparasitic drugs (mainly topical permethrin and oral ivermectin) have been widely available. Treatment failure is common because drugs have short half-lives and do not kill all developmental stages of the scabies parasite. At least two consecutive treatments are needed, which is difficult to achieve in resource-poor and itinerant populations. Another key issue is the lack of a practical, rapid, cheap and accurate diagnostic tool for the timely detection of scabies, which could prevent the cycle of exacerbation and disease persistence in communities. Scabies control will require a multifaceted approach, aided by improved diagnostics and surveillance, new treatments, and increased public awareness."
+1225,skin cancer,39362698,Learning from the Montreal Protocol to improve the global governance of antimicrobial resistance.,"The Montreal Protocol has played a critical role in promoting global collective action to phase out the use of ozone-depleting substances, ultimately preventing millions of cases of skin cancer, cataracts and other health issues related to ultraviolet radiation exposure. This success entails transferable lessons for coordinated action required to improve the global governance of other challenges. Like ozone depletion, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a challenge of the global commons, requiring coordinated actions across human, animal and environmental sectors. We identify equity, flexibility and accountability as three core governance principles that underlie the success of the protocol and employ the 3-i framework to understand how interests, ideas and institutions contributed to the protocol's success. Equity-promoting strategies consisted of an inclusive negotiation process, supporting developing countries with multilateral funding and a progressive compliance model. Flexibility was built into the protocol through the development of country-specific strategies, reorienting incentive structures for industry and facilitating regular amendments in response to emerging scientific evidence.

Neoplastic cells can adapt to hypoxia by using alternative energy sources, particularly those that arise from fatty acid oxidation (FAO). The Carnitine Palmitoyl Transferase 1A (CPT1A) belongs to Carnitine System (CS) and promotes the entrance of fatty acids into the mitochondria for β-oxidation. In this study, CPT1A expression was comparatively addressed in 25 equine sarcoids and 5 normal skin samples using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Specificity of CPT1A antibody was validated by Western Blotting (WB). In normal skin samples IHC staining was weak and mainly confined to basal epidermis and few dermal fibroblasts. Sarcoid fibroblast exhibited a strong cytoplasmic and nuclear signal in 60% of the tumor samples. Cytoplasmic CPT1A expression in sarcoid fibroblasts indicates that the protein is actively involved in metabolic reprogramming processes. Nuclear CPT1A expression suggests that the protein may also be involved in the regulation of neoplastic proliferation."
+1227,skin cancer,39361750,Cancer immunotherapy by γδ T cells.,"The premise of cancer immunotherapy is that cancers are specifically visible to an immune system tolerized to healthy self. The promise of cancer immunotherapy is that immune effector mechanisms and immunological memory can jointly eradicate cancers and inoperable metastases and de facto vaccinate against recurrence. For some patients with hitherto incurable diseases, including metastatic melanoma, this promise is being realized by game-changing immunotherapies based on αβ T cells. Today's challenges are to bring benefit to greater numbers of patients of diverse ethnicities, target more cancer types, and achieve a cure while incurring fewer adverse events. In meeting those challenges, specific benefits may be offered by γδ T cells, which compose a second T cell lineage with distinct recognition capabilities and functional traits that bridge innate and adaptive immunity. γδ T cell-based clinical trials, including off-the-shelf adoptive cell therapy and agonist antibodies, are yielding promising results, although identifiable problems remain. In addressing those problems, we advocate that immunotherapies be guided by the distinctive biology of γδ T cells, as elucidated by ongoing research."

This review aims to comprehensively investigate ARM's diagnosis, management, and treatment, emphasizing its clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, and implications for patient prognosis. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL databases from inception to 1 July 2024. This review synthesizes existing literature to provide a comprehensive understanding of this rare primary malignancy. A total of 110 articles reporting on 166 patients were included. Gender data were available for 131 cases, comprising 67 females (51.1%) and 64 males (48.9%). The median age was 66 years. The overall median time to diagnosis was 4 months for anal melanoma, 3 months for rectal melanoma, and 4 months for anorectal junction melanoma. The clinical presentation was nodular in 98.2% of cases. Pre-diagnosis symptoms included bleeding in 84.9% of cases, mucous elimination (6%), pain (68.7%), tenesmus (16.9%), and changes in bowel movements (28.5%). Overall survival (OS) was reported in 82 cases, with a median OS of 11 months: 11 months for anal melanoma, 7 months for rectal melanoma, and 12 months for anorectal junction melanoma. ARM is a rare and aggressive melanoma subtype often diagnosed at an advanced stage, leading to a poor prognosis. A female predominance was observed, consistent with other mucosal melanomas. Anal melanoma exhibited better progression-free survival, and OS compared to rectal and anorectal junction melanoma."

Most are inherited in an autosomal recessive trait. We studied a patient with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and immune dysregulation who harbored two distinct bi-allelic IEI-associated genetic mutations. Clinical, immunological and genetic data were collected. Genetic investigation included whole exome sequencing on DNA extracted from skin fibroblasts. Family segregation was performed by Sanger sequencing. Immunological evaluation included absolute and functional evaluation of lymphocytes and chimerism analysis post hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Treg subsets, LRBA and CTLA4 expression levels were measured by flow-cytometric analysis. A nineteen-year-old female patient from a consanguine background underwent unconditioned matched sibling related HSCT during infancy due to clinical presentation of SCID with an Omenn phenotype. At that time her underlying genetic defect was not defined. Years after HSCT, severe auto-immune phenomena were noted, including a systemic lupus erythematosus-like syndrome and ophthalmic manifestations. Genetic evaluation revealed bi-allelic homozygous mutations in RAG-2 (c.685C>T, p.Arg229Trp) and a previously undescribed mutation in LRBA (c.3325G>T, p.Asp1109Tyr). LRBA and CTLA4 expression levels were normal, suggesting that the LRBA variant identified in these kindred is unlikely to be pathogenic. Multiple genetic defects causing complex IEIs may be identified in the same individual in highly consanguineous populations. Functional immunological testing is essential for evaluation of novel genetic variants."

The primary objectives were to assess the incomplete excision rate (IER) in primary LM and to explore potential risk factors for incomplete excisions. A retrospective analysis was conducted encompassing consecutive histopathologically confirmed LMs from 2014-2020. Descriptive statistics were used for LM characteristics and IER, while uni- and multivariate analyses were used for calculating risk factors. The study included 395 LMs with an IER of 16.7% (n = 66). Risk factors for higher incomplete excision rates included: head and neck lesions (p = 0.0014), clinical excision margins < 5 mm (p = 0.040), and utilization of preoperative partial biopsies (p = 0.023). Plastic surgeons had higher IERs than dermatologists (p = 0.036). Lesion diameter (p = 0.20) and surgeon experience (p = 0.20) showed no associations with incomplete excisions, yet LMs with a diameter ≥ 20 mm exhibited higher incomplete excision rates (23.2%) compared witho those < 10 mm (12.9%). LMs should be excised with at least 5-mm clinical margins, especially in the head and neck area. LMs ≥ 20 mm may be more surgically challenging. High-er incomplete excision rates associated with the use of preoperative biopsies and/or plastic surgeons may reflect challenging anatomical locations, larger lesion diameter, and/or ill-defined borders."

This can cause severe skin damage, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma. However, plant-derived compounds found in fruits and vegetables have been shown to protect against skin cancer-causing free radicals and other harmful substances. It has been determined that these dietary phytochemicals are effective in preventing skin cancer and are widely available, inexpensive, and well-tolerated. Studies have shown that these phytochemicals possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiangiogenic properties that can aid in the prevention of skin cancers. In addition, they influence crucial cellular processes such as angiogenesis and cell cycle control, which can halt the progression of skin cancer. The present paper discusses the benefits of specific dietary phytochemicals found in fruits and vegetables, as well as the signaling pathways they regulate, the molecular mechanisms involved in the prevention of skin cancer, and their drawbacks."

However, current research on nanomedicines mainly focuses on developing nanoparticles as delivery carriers to maximize the bioavailability of therapeutic agents, with little attention on exploring their potential to directly regulate physiological processes. In this study, inspired by the lysosomal swelling caused by excessive accumulation of undegraded substances, this work presents a lysosomal-targeting aggregated nanoparticle (LTANP) for cancer treatment. By rationally engineering surface composition, properties, and interparticle interactions, LTANP achieves efficient tumor accumulation and selective targeted aggregation in lysosomes of cancer cells, leading to unrelievable lysosomal swelling, and ultimately inducing lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) of cancer cells. Further analysis shows that nanoparticle aggregation-mediated LMP can effectively trigger immunogenic cell death (ICD) by impairing autophagy-lysosome pathway, evoking robust antitumor immune responses and reversing tumor immunogenicity from ""cold"" to ""hot"" in a melanoma model. Additionally, LTANP can combine with clinically approved programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) antibodies to further unleash T cell-mediated antitumor immunity, significantly enhancing antitumor performance, inhibiting tumor recurrence and metastasis. This work demonstrates the potential of rationally engineered nanostructures in directly combating cancer and provides novel insights for the development of advanced nanoparticle-based cancer treatment."

+1240,skin cancer,39358721,Identification of SLC22A17 DNA methylation hotspot as a potential biomarker in cutaneous melanoma.,"Cancer onset and progression are driven by genetic and epigenetic alterations leading to oncogene activation and the silencing of tumor suppressor genes. Among epigenetic mechanisms, DNA methylation (methDNA) is gaining growing interest in cancer. Promoter hypomethylation is associated with oncogene activation while intragenic methDNA can be involved in transcriptional elongation, alternative spicing, and the activation of cryptic start sites. Several genes involved in the modulation of the tumor microenvironment are regulated by methDNA, including the Solute Carrier Family 22 Member 17 (SLC22A17), which is involved in iron trafficking and extracellular matrix remodeling cooperating with the Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) ligand. However, the exact role of intragenic methDNA in cancer has not been fully investigated. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to explore the role of methDNA in the regulation of SLC22A17 in cutaneous melanoma (CM), used as a tumor model."

Surgery remains the first-line clinical treatment for EMPD, but the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy remains to be fully evaluated, and new therapies for EMPD are urgently needed. In this study, we initially screened 815 EMPD patients in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and analyzed their clinical features and prognostic factors. Using the dataset from the Genome Sequence Archive (GSA) database, we subsequently conducted weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA), gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), gene set variation analysis (GSVA), and immune infiltration analyses, grouping the samples based on EMPD disease status and the levels of ERBB2 expression. The prognostic analysis based on the SEER database identified increased age at diagnosis, distant metastasis, and receipt of radiotherapy as independent risk factors for EMPD. Moreover, our results indicated that patients who received chemotherapy had worse prognoses than those who did not, highlighting the urgent need for novel treatment approaches for EMPD. Functional analysis of the GSA-derived dataset revealed that EMPD tissues were significantly enriched in immune-related pathways compared with normal skin tissues. Compared with those with high ERBB2 expression, tissues with low ERBB2 expression displayed greater immunogenicity and enrichment of immune pathways, particularly those related to B cells. These findings suggest that patients with low ERBB2 expression are likely to benefit from immunotherapy, especially B-cell-related immunotherapy."
+1242,skin cancer,39358546,Immunogenic cell death signatures from on-treatment tumor specimens predict immune checkpoint therapy response in metastatic melanoma.,"Melanoma is a highly malignant form of skin cancer that typically originates from abnormal melanocytes. Despite significant advances in treating metastatic melanoma with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy, a substantial number of patients do not respond to this treatment and face risks of recurrence and metastasis. This study collected data from multiple datasets, including cohorts from Riaz et al., Gide et al., MGH, and Abril-Rodriguez et al., focusing on on-treatment samples during ICB therapy. We used the single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) method to calculate immunogenic cell death scores (ICDS) and employed an elastic network algorithm to construct a model predicting ICB efficacy. By analyzing 18 ICD gene signatures, we identified 9 key ICD gene signatures that effectively predict ICB treatment response for on-treatment metastatic melanoma specimens. Results showed that patients with high ICD scores had significantly higher response rates to ICB therapy compared to those with low ICD scores. ROC analysis demonstrated that the AUC values for both the training and validation sets were around 0.8, indicating good predictive performance. Additionally, survival analysis revealed that patients with high ICD scores had longer progression-free survival (PFS). This study used an elastic network algorithm to identify 9 ICD gene signatures related to the immune response in metastatic melanoma. These gene features can not only predict the efficacy of ICB therapy but also provide references for clinical decision-making. The results indicate that ICD plays an important role in metastatic melanoma immunotherapy and that expressing ICD signatures can more accurately predict ICB treatment response and prognosis for on-treatment metastatic melanoma specimens, thus providing a basis for personalized treatment."

Single-system skin involvement is rare, with most cases presenting with multisystem disease, including bone lesions, which respond to chemotherapy. In adults, lung lesions that improve with smoking cessation are well-known, although multisystem disease is more common and requires aggressive therapeutic intervention similar to that in children. In some infant cases, progression of liver, spleen, and bone marrow lesions can be difficult to control and can become severe. However, targeted molecular therapies are now available as a lifesaving option. More than 30% of cases of multisystem LCH recur at least once, often leading to long-term complications.

The ongoing investigation of natural antitumor agents, the nonpsychoactive cannabinoid, cannabigerol (CBG) found in Cannabis sativa is emerging as a promising candidate. CBG offers a potential therapeutic role in the treatment of melanoma demonstrating cell growth inhibition in some tumors. Its low water solubility and bioavailability hinder the potential effectiveness. To address these challenges, a modified CBG, namely LE-127/2 was synthesized by Mannich-type reaction. The aim was to investigate the effect of this novel compound on cell proliferation as well as the mechanism of cell death with a particular focus on autophagy and apoptosis. Human cutan melanoma cell lines, WM35, A2058 and WM3000 were utilized for the present study. Cell proliferation of the cells after the treatment with LE-127/2, parent CBG or vemurafenib was assessed by Cell Titer Blue Assay. Cells were treated with a 1.25-80 µM of the above-mentioned compounds, and it was found that at 20 μM of all drugs showed a comparable effective inhibition of cell proliferation, however, vemurafenib and CBG proved to be more effective than LE-127/2. In addition, clonogenic cell survival assays were performed to examine the inhibitory effect of LE-127/2 on the colony formation ability of melanoma cell lines. Cells treated with 20 µM of LE-127/2 for 14 days showed about a 50% suppression of clonogenic cell survival. LE-127/2 exerted the most intensive inhibition on A2058 cell colonies. Furthermore, notably, LDH cytotoxicity assay performed on HaCaT cell line, proved LE-127/2 to be cytotoxic only at higher concentration, such as 80 μM, while the parent CBG was cytotoxic at concentration as low as 5 μM, suggesting that the new CBG derivative as a drug candidate may be applied in human pharmacotherapy without causing a substantial damage in intact epidermal cells. Analysis of protein expression revealed the impact of LE-127/2 on the expression of basic proteins (LC-3, Beclin-1 and p62) involved in the process of autophagy in the three different melanoma cell lines studied. Elevated expression of these proteins was detected as a result of LE-127/2 (20 µM) treatment. LE-127/2 also induced the expression of some proteins involved in apoptosis, and it is particularly noteworthy the increased level of cleaved PARP. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that LE-127/2 induced autophagy could lead to the inhibition of cell proliferation and death in melanoma cells."

This research introduces a novel skin disease classification model leveraging advanced deep learning techniques. The proposed architecture combines the MobileNet-V2 backbone, Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) blocks, Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP), and a Channel Attention Mechanism. The model was trained on four diverse datasets such as PH2 dataset, Skin Cancer MNIST: HAM10000 dataset, DermNet. dataset, and Skin Cancer ISIC dataset. Data preprocessing techniques, including image resizing, and normalization, played a crucial role in optimizing model performance. In this paper, the MobileNet-V2 backbone is implemented to extract hierarchical features from the preprocessed dermoscopic images. The multi-scale contextual information is fused by the ASPP model for generating a feature map. The attention mechanisms contributed significantly, enhancing the extraction ability of inter-channel relationships and multi-scale contextual information for enhancing the discriminative power of the features. Finally, the output feature map is converted into probability distribution through the softmax function. The proposed model outperformed several baseline models, including traditional machine learning approaches, emphasizing its superiority in skin disease classification with 98.6% overall accuracy. Its competitive performance with state-of-the-art methods positions it as a valuable tool for assisting dermatologists in early classification. The study also identified limitations and suggested avenues for future research, emphasizing the model's potential for practical implementation in the field of dermatology."

Additionally, current treatments such as immunotherapies are often associated with numerous adverse side effects. The use of nitric oxide (NO) may represent an attractive treatment for melanoma due to NO's various anticancer properties, unlikeliness to foster resistance, and limited toxicity toward healthy tissues. The anticancer effects of chemical NO donors have been explored previously but with limited understanding of the needed characteristics for exerting optimal antimelanoma activity. Herein, the in vitro therapeutic efficacy of three macromolecular NO donor systems (i.e., cyclodextrin, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, and hyaluronic acid) with tunable NO-release kinetics was explored by evaluating skin permeation along with toxicity against melanoma and healthy skin cells. Cytotoxicity against melanoma cells was dependent on NO payload and not donor identity or NO-release kinetics. In contrast, cytotoxicity against healthy cells was primarily influenced by the macromolecular NO donor, with cyclodextrin- and hyaluronic acid-based NO donors having the highest therapeutic indices. In vitro skin permeation was influenced by both the size and charge of the NO donor, with smaller, more neutral donors resulting in greater permeation. A Pluronic F127 organogel was optimized for the delivery of a cyclodextrin-based NO donor. Delivery of the NO donor in this manner resulted in increased in vitro skin permeation and reduced tumor growth in an in vivo model."
+1256,skin cancer,32310510,Breast Cancer Screening in the Average-Risk Patient,"Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women, and it is the most prevalent non-skin cancer. Breast cancer is also considered the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. Stage IV breast cancer currently has no curative treatment and is managed with palliative care. Early detection of tumors significantly reduces morbidity and mortality. The primary challenge lies in determining who should be screened and when. Additionally, as our understanding of the pathophysiology of breast cancer develops, treatment decisions are shifting away from focusing solely on tumor size and extent. Increasingly, the incorporation of genetic and biological characteristics is being used to guide prognosis and treatment. In addition to self-breast examinations, the primary screening methods include clinical breast evaluations and imaging techniques such as mammography, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Multiple randomized studies have established that routine screening mammography should be offered to women aged 50 to 69. Historically, the recommendation for routine mammograms for women aged 40 to 49 or those aged 70 or older has been debated. However, the latest guidelines from the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBrS), and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) now advocate starting routine mammograms at age 40.  The frequency of screening remains a topic of debate, with some groups recommending annual screening for average-risk individuals while others advocate for biennial screening. Overall, there has been a trend toward expanded screening, as breast cancer detection at early and treatable stages has saved countless lives. Differentiating between average-risk and high-risk patients is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes, as screening recommendations vary for these populations. Our growing understanding of oncogenic genetic mutations and other breast cancer risk factors has led to the development of several breast cancer risk prediction models, such as the Gail model and the Tyrer-Cuzick model. These models facilitate the stratification of breast cancer screening based on an individual's lifetime risk of developing the disease.  In addition to mammography, ultrasonography and breast MRI are recommended for screening for high-risk women. High-risk patients, symptomatic individuals, and breast cancer survivors should be identified and referred to a breast center for evaluation by a breast cancer specialist to receive appropriate screening recommendations. Please see StatPearls' companion resource, ""Breast Cancer,"" for more information on high-risk factors for breast cancer."

Six subtypes are recognised (occult, verrucose, nodular, fibroblastic, mixed and malevolent lesions), with variable clinical behaviour. The pathophysiology underlying varying tumour phenotype is poorly understood, and previous data on associations with viral load have been conflicting. To better understand this clinical variation, we investigated associations between tumour subtype and viral load, viral early protein gene expression, and expression of 10 host genes by quantitative polymerase chain reaction in 27 sarcoids and 5 normal skin samples. Viral DNA copy number did not differ between subtypes but was significantly higher in animals with fewer tumours. Expression of BPV E2 and E6 was higher in occult lesions compared to fibroblastic or nodular lesions, while E5 expression was higher in previously-treated lesions. Of the host genes, only IL6 and IL1B differed between subtypes, with higher expression in fibroblastic lesions, while IL10 and CCL5 were elevated compared to skin in all lesion types, and elevations in TNF and TGFB1 were significant for occult lesions only. Expression of TLR9, ATR, VEGFA and PTGS2 in sarcoids was not significantly different from normal skin, suggesting differences between BPV and human papillomavirus tumorigenesis. Results for BPV viral load and gene expression differed from previous reports and are insufficient to explain the spectrum of tumour phenotypes.

We used RNA-Seq analysis in order to study changes in gene expression in melanoma cells that are capable of vasculogenic mimicry that is inhibited upon the action of an inhibitor of vasculogenic mimicry. Here, we show that the drug induces a strong upregulation of 50 genes that control the cell cycle and microtubule cytoskeleton coupled with a strong downregulation of 50 genes that control different cellular metabolic processes. We found that both groups of genes are simultaneously regulated by multiple sets of transcription factors. We conclude that one way for coordinated regulation of large groups of genes is regulation simultaneously by multiple transcription factors."
+1260,skin cancer,39355878,[Uveal Melanoma: Molecular and Genetic Mechanisms of Development and Therapeutic Approaches].,"Uveal melanoma (UM) is a neuroectodermal tumor that results from malignant transformation of melanocytes in the eye uvea, including the iris, the ciliary body, and the choroid. UM accounts for 5% of all melanoma cases and is extremely aggressive with half of the UM patients developing metastases within the first 1-2 years after tumor development. Molecular mechanisms of UM carcinogenesis are poorly understood, but are known to differ from those of skin melanoma. Activating mutations of the GNAQ and GNA11 genes, which code for the large G protein subunits Gq and G11, respectively, are found in 90% of UM patients. The Gaq/PKC/MAPK signaling pathway is a main signaling cascade that leads to the transformation of melanocytes of the uveal tract, and major regulators of the cascade provide targets for the development of drugs. Metastatic UM (MUM) is most often associated with mutations of BAP1, EIF1AX, GNA11, GNAQ, and SF3B1. A combination of a commercial expression test panel of 15 genes and a mutation panel of 7 genes, supplemented with data on the size of the primary tumor, is highly efficient in predicting the risk of metastasis. The risk of metastasis determines the choice of therapy and the patient follow-up regimen. However, no systemic therapy for MUM has been developed to date. New drugs undergoing clinical trials are mostly targeted drugs designed to inhibit the protein products of mutant genes or immunotherapeutic agents designed to stimulate the immune response against specific antigens. In addition to these approaches, potential therapeutic targets of epigenetic regulation of UM development are considered in the review."

Cutaneous metastases from ccRCC are uncommon and typically occur within 3 years post-nephrectomy, predominantly affecting the scalp, chest or abdomen. Here, we present a unique case of a 75-year-old male, previously treated for ccRCC with right radical nephrectomy, who developed a singular skin lesion on the left side of the neck 19 years post-nephrectomy. The lesion was confirmed as metastatic ccRCC through histopathological analysis, despite negative imaging findings. Micrometastases, characterised by microscopic tumour cell foci in distant sites, pose a significant diagnostic challenge, frequently evading detection on conventional imaging modalities like computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. This case contributes to our understanding of ccRCC metastasis, emphasising the necessity for continued clinical vigilance and thorough diagnostic scrutiny, particularly concerning atypical metastatic sites."

There was no family history of similar complaints. The histopathological examination (HPE), supplemented with special stains confirmed the diagnosis of cutaneous leiomyoma (CL). The immunohistochemical analysis showed a strong expression of smooth muscle actin. The final diagnosis of sporadic diffuse multiple cutaneous leiomyomatosis was made. This presentation of CL is uncommon and resembled plexiform neurofibroma. The clinical diagnosis of this presentation was challenging.

We report a rare case of LAM in an 18-year-old female presenting with an atypical Blaschkoid distribution (multiple band-like pattern) on her right trunk. A clinical examination and histopathological analysis were performed to make the diagnosis. Partial improvement was obtained with calcipotriol and colchicine. LAM is a rare condition; we were only able to identify 23 case reports in the published literature. The findings of this report contribute to the limited literature on LAM, highlighting the clinical variability of LAM and suggesting potential novel variants beyond the classic presentation, emphasising the importance of recognising diverse manifestations for accurate diagnosis and management.

Development of BCC outside the skin areas exposed to sun rays is infrequent. Giant BCC is a rare entity, especially in unexposed areas of the body. It carries a considerable implication on patients' quality of life because of the risk of being a source of infection that may progress to severe sepsis and/or metastasis. An old female presented with a long-standing solitary lesion measuring 7.5x6 cm overlaying the lumber 4-5 vertebral region about 2.5 cm from the line of the sacral promontory. No lymph nodes or distant metastases were detected. For many years, it was misdiagnosed by other physicians as eczema, psoriasis, and fungal infection and accordingly failed to respond to treatment. A histopathological examination of lesional punch biopsy assured the diagnosis of giant superficially spreading BCC. The lesion was excised with a circumferential safety margin of about 5 mm. During the follow-up period of 4 years, no recurrence was detected. Despite being a long-standing Giant basal cell carcinoma (GBCC) in a sun-hidden skin area, the growth behaved as a locally malignant lesion without metastasizing. A wide local surgical excision of the GBCC with 5 mm safety margins was feasible, safe, and with a good aesthetic outcome. Importantly, family practitioners should avoid such missed cases through accuracy in their diagnosis and early referral of any atypical cases to a dermatologist."

The purinergic signaling pathways have been shown to play an important role in the development and progression of cancer. CD39 and CD73 are ectonucleotidases responsible for breaking down ATP or ADP into adenosine, which regulates immunosuppression in various types of cancer. These enzymes have been studied as a potential therapeutic target in immunotherapy, and recent research suggests a correlation between ectonucleotidases and clinical outcomes in cancer.Prostate cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in men, after non-melanoma skin tumors, and is the second leading cause of death in men in the world. Despite having long survival periods, patients often receive excessive or insufficient treatment. Within this complex landscape, the adenosine/CD73 pathway plays a crucial role. Therefore, this review aims to highlight new findings on the potential role of purinergic signaling in cancer treatment and emphasizes the importance of anti-CD73 as a pharmacological strategy for prostate cancer therapy."

+1275,skin cancer,39354629,IRF2 loss is associated with reduced MHC I pathway transcripts in subsets of most human cancers and causes resistance to checkpoint immunotherapy in human and mouse melanomas.,"In order for cancers to progress, they must evade elimination by CD8 T cells or other immune mechanisms. CD8 T cells recognize and kill tumor cells that display immunogenic tumor peptides bound to MHC I molecules. One of the ways that cancers can escape such killing is by reducing expression of MHC I molecules, and loss of MHC I is frequently observed in tumors. There are multiple different mechanisms that can underly the loss of MHC I complexes on tumor and it is currently unclear whether there are particular mechanisms that occur frequently and, if so, in what types of cancers. Also of importance to know is whether the loss of MHC I is reversible and how such loss and/or its restoration would impact responses to immunotherapy. Here, we investigate these issues for loss of IRF1 and IRF2, which are transcription factors that drive expression of MHC I pathway genes and some killing mechanisms."

In this study, we evaluated efficacy and safety of a chemotherapy regimen with weekly carboplatin plus paclitaxel (wCP) in patients previously treated with anti-PD-1 antibodies. We retrospectively identified 30 patients with advanced melanoma treated at our Institute over the last eight years with wCP. The co-primary endpoints of the study were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). In addition, we evaluated treatment tolerability. For this patient cohort, median PFS and OS were 3.25 and 7.69 months, respectively. All included patients had previously received anti-PD-1 immunotherapy, most of them had ECOG PS 0-1, and only 5 patients had a BRAF V600 mutation. In univariable analysis, we observed shorter OS in patients with > 2 involved metastatic sites, superficial spreading histology, and serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) values above the median. Liver metastases were associated with worse outcomes, while radiotherapy treatment of brain metastases was associated with improved OS. However, in a multivariable Cox regression model, only LDH above the median, superficial spreading histology, and female sex were significantly associated with worse OS. We reported grade 3 and 4 treatment-related toxicities in 4 and 0 patients, respectively. In conclusion, chemotherapy with wCP is a valid palliative treatment in advanced melanoma who progressed with anti-PD-1 antibodies."

Nevertheless, discrepancies exist regarding the effect of NOD2 on different types of cancer. This study aimed to investigate these function of NOD2 in melanoma and its underlying mechanisms. We have validated the tumor suppressor effect of NOD2 in melanoma. NOD2 inhibited the proliferation of melanoma cells, hindering their migration and invasion while promoting the onset of apoptosis. Our study showed that NOD2 expression is closely related to pyrimidine and folate metabolism. NOD2 inhibits thymidylate synthase (TYMS) expression by promoting K48-type ubiquitination modification of TYMS, thereby decreasing the resistance of melanoma cells to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and capecitabine (CAP). TYMS was identified to form a complex with Polo-like Kinase 1 (PLK1) and activate the PLK1 signaling pathway. Furthermore, we revealed that the combination of the PLK1 inhibitor volasertib (BI6727) with 5-FU or CAP had a synergistic effect repressing the proliferation, migration, and autophagy of melanoma cells. Overall, our research highlights the protective role of NOD2 in melanoma and suggests that targeting NOD2 and the TYMS/PLK1 signaling axis is a high-profile therapy that could be a prospect for melanoma treatment."

Here, we analyzed the clinical prognostic value of STAT family genes in UM patients using bioinformatics approaches and found that high STAT6 expression is associated with poor prognosis. Furthermore, cellular experiments and a nude mouse model demonstrated that STAT6 promotes UM progression through the autophagy pathway both in vivo and in vitro. Next, RIP-PCR revealed that STAT6 protein binds to LINC01637 mRNA, which in turn regulates STAT6 expression to promote UM growth. Finally, molecular docking indicated that STAT6 is a target of Zoledronic Acid, which can delay UM tumorigenicity by inhibiting STAT6 expression. Taken together, our results indicate that the STAT6/LINC01637 axis promotes UM progression via autophagy and may serve as a potential therapeutic target for UM."

Patients with mUM treated with ipilimumab/nivolumab and tebentafusp between July 2018 and December 2022, with available radiological assessment per RECISTv1.1 and/or imPERCIST5, were retrospectively identified and included. Progression-free survival (PFS) and OS rates, liver-specific response and pathological assessment in available liver biopsies were evaluated. In the ipilimumab/nivolumab group, median PFS (mPFS) was 2.9 months (95% CI 2.2-28.6) and mOS 28.9 months (95% CI 12.7-NR). Complete (CMR) and partial (PMR) metabolic response per imPERCIST5, and partial response (PR) per RECISTv1.1 were associated with longer PFS and OS by trend, compared to morphologically and metabolically stable or progressive disease. In the tebentafusp group, mPFS was 2.7 months (95% CI 2.2-3) and mOS 18.6 months (95% CI 11.5-NR). PMR and PR were associated with longer PFS by trend. In both treatments, the overall treatment response was associated with the radiological response at the liver site. In available liver tumor biopsies, differences in pathological and radiological responses were noted. ImPERCIST5 and RECIST v1.1 are valuable tools in the radiological response assessment, but both methods display limitations. Accurate biomarkers to stratify patients at risk for disease progression and future translational studies to investigate mechanisms of response and resistance are required."

Despite its rarity, UM is concerning due to its high potential for liver metastasis, resulting in a median survival of about a year after detection. Unlike cutaneous melanoma, UM responds poorly to immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) due to its low tumor mutational burden and PD-1/PD-L1 expression. Tebentafusp, a bispecific T cell engager (TCE) approved for metastatic UM, showed potential in clinical trials, but the objective response rate remains modest. To enhance TCE efficacy, we explored quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) modeling in this study. By integrating a TCE module into an existing QSP model and using clinical data on UM and tebentafusp, we aimed to identify and rank potential predictive biomarkers for patient selection. We selected 30 important predictive biomarkers, including model parameters and cell concentrations in tumor and blood compartments. We investigated biomarkers using different methods, including comparison of median levels in responders and non-responders, and a cutoff-based biomarker testing algorithm. CD8+ T cell density in the tumor and blood, CD8+ T cell to regulatory T cell ratio in the tumor, and naïve CD4+ density in the blood are examples of key biomarkers identified. Quantification of predictive power suggested a limited predictive power for single pre-treatment biomarkers, which was improved by early on-treatment biomarkers and combination of predictive biomarkers. Ultimately, this QSP model could facilitate biomarker-guided patient selection, improving clinical trial efficiency and UM treatment outcomes."

Furthermore, the unique behaviors and prevalence of tumors in SOTRs necessitate tailored pathways for screening and treatment, distinct from those designed for immunocompetent patients. Despite the proven efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in several cancers, SOTRs have often been systematically excluded from clinical trials due to concerns about potential allograft rejection and loss. Consequently, most data on the safety and efficacy of ICIs in SOTRs are derived from case series and reports. Given the significant risks involved, alternative therapeutic options should be thoroughly discussed with patients before considering ICI therapy. This literature review aims to provide an overview of CSCC in SOTRs, with a specific emphasis on therapeutic and screening strategies, particularly highlighting immunotherapy."

On review of 111 Medicaid preferred drug lists (PDLs) across 50 states and the District of Columbia (DC), only five plans were identified that incorporate coverage of sunscreen. Thus, many recipients of Medicaid, the majority of whom are individuals and families of lower socioeconomic status, may encounter financial difficulty and thus forego utilizing sun protective measures due to financial constraints. Here, we compare current Medicaid coverage of OTC sunscreen and discuss calculated and theoretical annual costs of this skin cancer prevention method."

Multispectral autofluorescence lifetime imaging (maFLIM) dermoscopy enables label-free biochemical and metabolic imaging of skin lesions. This study investigated the use of pixel-level maFLIM dermoscopy features for objective discrimination of malignant from visually similar benign pigmented skin lesions. Clinical maFLIM dermoscopy images were acquired from 60 pigmented skin lesions before undergoing a biopsy examination. Random forest and deep neural networks classification models were explored, as they do not require explicit feature selection. Feature pools with either spectral intensity or bi-exponential maFLIM features, and a combined feature pool, were independently evaluated with each classification model. A rigorous cross-validation strategy tailored for small-size datasets was adopted to estimate classification performance. Time-resolved bi-exponential autofluorescence features were found to be critical for accurate detection of malignant pigmented skin lesions. The deep neural network model produced the best lesion-level classification, with sensitivity and specificity of 76.84%±12.49% and 78.29%±5.50%, respectively, while the random forest classifier produced sensitivity and specificity of 74.73%±14.66% and 76.83%±9.58%, respectively. Results from this study indicate that machine-learning driven maFLIM dermoscopy has the potential to assist doctors with identifying patients in real need of biopsy examination, thus facilitating early detection while reducing the rate of unnecessary biopsies."

In addition, the primary lesion of EN-NK/T-CL-NT can rarely originate in extranasal sites such as the skin, gastrointestinal tract, testicles, central nervous system, and lungs. We describe an 82-year-old male smoker was brought to the hospital with 8 months of fever, cough, sputum production, chest pain, and chest tightness. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest showed subpleural high-density shadow in the lower lobe of the right lung with unclear borders and surrounding patchy ground-glass shadow. Initially, the patient's right lower lobe lesion progressed after receiving anti-inflammatory treatment. He subsequently underwent two computerized tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle aspiration biopsies and a bronchoscopy, but no tumor cells were found. Through multidisciplinary team discussions, the patient was then transferred to the department of cardiothoracic surgery for right lower lobectomy. Finally, extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL), nasal type, was confirmed by pathology of the surgical specimen. The diagnosis of primary pulmonary ENKTCL was made because no evidence other than extrapulmonary site was found at the time of diagnosis and treatment.

Yet, its underlying pathogenesis opinions vary, which could be caused by increased local mechanical tension, enhanced and continuous inflammation, gene mutation, as well as cellular metabolic disorder, etc. Metabolic reprogramming is the process by which the metabolic pattern of cells undergoes a systematic adjustment and transformation to adapt to the changes of the external environment and meet the needs of their growth and differentiation. Therefore, the abnormality of metabolic reprogramming in cells within wounds and scars attaches great importance to scar formation. Mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes (MSC-Exo) are the extracellular vesicles that play an important role in tissue repair, cancer treatment as well as immune and metabolic regulation. However, there is not a systematic work to detail the relevant studies. Herein, we gave a comprehensive summary of the existing research on three main metabolisms, including glycometabolism, lipid metabolism and amino acid metabolism, and MSC-Exo regulating metabolic reprogramming in wound healing and scar formation for further research reference."

Recent studies have shown that changes in DNA methylation play a crucial role in the development of cancers. However, methylation patterns of SCC are not well characterised. Identifying biomarkers for the risk of developing SCC could be helpful for early detection and diagnosis and can potentially improve treatment and prevention strategies. This study aimed to investigate methylation changes in the epidermis of mice exposed to UVR for 24 weeks. We examined the DNA methylation levels of 260 199 CpGs using the Illumina Infinium Mouse Methylation BeadChip and studied the epidermis of UVR-exposed and unexposed mice every 4 weeks for 24 weeks (n = 39). We identified CpGs with large differences in methylation levels (β-values) between UVR-exposed and unexposed mice. We also observed differences in the epigenetic age of these mice. We identified CpGs in Rev, Ipmk, Rad51b, Fgfr2, Fgfr3 and Ctnnb1 that may serve as potential biomarkers for SCC risk and could be helpful for the early detection and prevention of SCC. Further investigations are necessary to determine the biological functions and clinical significance of these CpGs."

Around 80% of MCC is linked to Merkel cell polyomavirus, but the cell of origin remains unknown. We stably introduced Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV)-sT) and LT antigens to MCC13 and REH cell lines, analyzing DNA methylation and gene transcriptional regulation. Gene ontology analysis assessed MCPyV effects, and integrative analysis correlated gene expression and methylation. Expression patterns were compared with 15 previously sequenced primary MCCs. We found that MCPyV-LT induces DNA methylation changes in both cell lines, while MCPyV-sT only affected REH cells. Greater gene expression changes are observed in MCC13 cells, with upregulated genes associated with cellular components and downregulated genes related to biological processes. Integrative analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEG) and differentially methylated regions (DMR) of REH cell lines revealed that no genes were commonly methylated and differentially expressed. The study compared DEGs and DMG in MCC13 and REH cells to overlapping genes in MCPyV-positive cell lines (MKL1, MKL2, and WaGa), identifying hypomethylated genes in the gene body and hypermethylated genes at TSS1500. GO analysis of the two cell lines showed that MCPyV-TAs can downregulate genes in MHC-I pathways; this downregulation offers a target that can be used to create novel and efficient MCC immunotherapy approaches. Finally, it was confirmed that MCPyV-LT controls gene expression in MCC tissues using an integrative investigation of DNA methylation and gene expression."
+1328,skin cancer,39344323,Interleukin-31: The Inflammatory Cytokine Connecting Pruritus and Cancer.,"Interleukin 31 (IL-31) is a proinflammatory cytokine, mainly secreted by Type II helper T cells. It signals through a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of IL-31 receptor α and oncostatin-M receptor β chain. The hallmark feature of IL-31, in its pathological role, is its ability to induce pruritus in mammals. Pruritus is a common symptom and major reason of morbidity in cancer patients, compromising their quality of life. Although, IL-31 is differentially expressed in different tumor types and could promote or inhibit cancer progression, high expression of IL-31 is a contributing factor to advanced stage tumor and severity of pruritus. The simultaneous existence of pruritus and cancer could either result from the aberrations in common proteins that co-exist in both cancer and pruritus or the therapeutic treatment of cancer could indirectly induce pruritus. Although the biology of IL-31 has predominantly been described in skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis and other inflammatory diseases, the precise role of IL-31 in the tumor biology of different cancer types remains elusive. Herein, we summarize the current understanding on the role of this cytokine in the pathogenesis of different cancers."

However, the challenges of inconsistent dissolution, variable absorption and side effects with oral administration persist. To address these issues, transdermal delivery has emerged as a viable alternative. In our study, we have developed nanoemulsion-based transdermal creams containing third-generation aromatase inhibitors Exemestane (EXE) or Letrozole (LE) and evaluated their toxicity, anti-tumour effects and androgenic potency using preclinical models including Bama minipigs, DMBA-induced breast cancer rats and orchidectomized male rats. The results of our study are significant, suggesting that both creams effectively penetrated the skin, demonstrating an impressive anti-breast cancer effect. Importantly, EXE cream had no organ toxicity at the tested dose, providing a reassuring safety profile for its use. In contrast, LE cream displayed reversible toxicity from drug molecule itself in animals at the given dose, dissipating after 3 weeks of withdrawal and recovery. This study establishes a solid foundation for the safe clinical use of third-generation aromatase inhibitors. It highlights transdermal creams as a promising drug delivery carrier for administering them."
+1330,skin cancer,39343834,ACSL4-mediated lipid rafts prevent membrane rupture and inhibit immunogenic cell death in melanoma.,"Chemotherapy including platinum-based drugs are a possible strategy to enhance the immune response in advanced melanoma patients who are resistant to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. However, the immune-boosting effects of these drugs are a subject of controversy, and their impact on the tumor microenvironment are poorly understood. In this study, we discovered that lipid peroxidation (LPO) promotes the formation of lipid rafts in the membrane, which mediated by Acyl-CoA Synthetase Long Chain Family Member 4 (ACSL4) impairs the sensitivity of melanoma cells to platinum-based drugs. This reduction primarily occurs through the inhibition of immunogenic ferroptosis and pyroptosis by reducing cell membrane pore formation. By disrupting ACSL4-mediaged lipid rafts via the removal of membrane cholesterol, we promoted immunogenic cell death, transformed the immunosuppressive environment, and improved the antitumor effectiveness of platinum-based drugs and immune response. This disruption also helped reverse the decrease in CD8"

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has also been found to play a crucial role in melanoma. However, the role of disulfidptosis-related lncRNA in melanoma remains unclear. Through bioinformatic analysis of the transcriptional, clinical, and pathological data from the TCGA-SKCM (The Cancer Genome Atlas-Skin cutaneous melanoma) database, we established a 2-Disulfidptosis-related lncRNA (DRL) prognostic model and a novel molecular subtype for melanoma. The survival and ROC curves of the 2-DRL prognostic model demonstrated its strong efficacy in predicting the prognosis of melanoma. The high-risk group of melanoma exhibited a significant decrease in ESTIMATEScore, ImmuneScore, and StromalScore, indicative of pronounced immune suppression and exhaustion. Subgroup C2 of melanoma displayed an immune-activated state, while subgroups C1 and C3 showed immune suppression and exhaustion, potentially leading to poorer prognosis. Subgroup C1 demonstrated better sensitivity to Zoledronate, UMI-77, Nilotinib, and Cytarabine. Subgroup C2 exhibited greater sensitivity to Ribociclib, XAV939, Topotecan, and Ruxolitinib. Subgroup C3 showed higher sensitivity to VX-11e, Ulixertinib, Trametinib, and Afatinib.

Although technologies to generate multiplex images of the TME are advancing, the many ways in which TME imaging data can be mined to elucidate cellular interactions are only beginning to be realized. Here, we present a novel approach for multipronged computational immune synapse analysis (CISA) that reveals T-cell synaptic interactions from multiplex images. CISA enables automated discovery and quantification of immune synapse interactions based on the localization of proteins on cell membranes. We first demonstrate the ability of CISA to detect T-cell:APC (antigen presenting cell) synaptic interactions in two independent human melanoma imaging mass cytometry (IMC) tissue microarray datasets. We then verify CISA's applicability across data modalities with melanoma histocytometry whole slide images, revealing that T-cell:macrophage synapse formation correlates with T-cell proliferation. We next show the generality of CISA by extending it to breast cancer IMC images, finding that CISA quantifications of T-cell:B-cell synapses are predictive of improved patient survival. Our work demonstrates the biological and clinical significance of spatially resolving cell-cell synaptic interactions in the TME and provides a robust method to do so across imaging modalities and cancer types."

Ang-1 has been shown to promote the progression of glioma, glioma, esophageal and human cervical cancer, whereas it exerts inhibitory effects on the growth of breast and colon cancer. However, the specific function of Ang-1 in CM has not been clarified. This research aims to explore the function of Ang-1 on CM and the underlying mechanism. WB and qPCR were utilized to measure the expression levels of different factors in CM cells. Clonogenic, CCK-8 and Transwell migration assay were used to probe CM cells' proliferation and migration ability. Xenograft tumor model was used to testify the effect of Ang-1 and Artesunate (ART) on the growth of CM in vivo. We found Ang-1 promoted CM proliferation and migration, while it was inhibited by ART in vitro. Moreover, both ART treatment and Ang-1 knockdown had the effect of suppressing tumor growth in CM xenograft model. Mechanically, Ang-1 activated Akt/mTOR pathway and induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in CM cells. Furthermore, ART regulated Akt/mTOR pathway by decreasing the expression of Ang-1 in CM cells. Ang-1 promotes tumorigenesis of CM by regulating Akt/mTOR pathway, which can be inhibited by ART."

However, evaluating the oncogene BRAF mutation in codon V600 is still the only companion diagnostic genomic test commonly implemented in clinics for molecularly targeted treatment of advanced melanoma. Are we wasting the collected genomic data? Will we implement our current genomic knowledge of melanoma in clinics soon? This question is rather urgent because new therapeutic targets and biomarkers are needed to implement more personalized, patient-tailored therapy in clinics. Here, we provide an update on the molecular background of melanoma, including a description of four already established molecular subtypes: BRAF+, NRAS+, NF1+, and triple WT, as well as relatively new NGS-derived melanoma genes such as PREX2, ERBB4, PPP6C, FBXW7, PIK3CA, and IDH1. We also present a comparison of genomic profiles obtained in recent years with a focus on the most common melanoma genes.

Here, we describe the unique case of a 50-year-old self-experimenting female virologist with locally recurrent muscle-invasive breast cancer who was able to proceed to simple, non-invasive tumour resection after receiving multiple intratumoural injections of research-grade virus preparations, which first included an Edmonston-Zagreb measles vaccine strain (MeV) and then a vesicular stomatitis virus Indiana strain (VSV), both prepared in her own laboratory. The intratumoural virus therapy was well tolerated. Frequent imaging studies and regular clinical observations documenting size, consistency and mobility of the injected tumour demonstrate that both the MeV- and VSV-containing parts of the protocol contributed to the overall favourable response. Two months after the start of the virus injections, the shrunken tumour was no longer invading the skin or underlying muscle and was surgically excised. The excised tumour showed strong lymphocytic infiltration, with an increase in CD20-positive B cells, CD8-positive T cells and macrophages. PD-L1 expression was detected in contrast to the baseline PD-L1-negative phenotype. The patient completed one-year trastuzumab adjuvant therapy and remains well and recurrence-free 45 months post-surgery. Although an isolated case, it encourages consideration of oncolytic virotherapy as a neoadjuvant treatment modality."

These materials have been extensively explored for the delivery of various drugs and active compounds, enhancing the solubility and permeation of poorly water-soluble drugs into skin tissue. This improvement facilitates the treatment of skin diseases, including chronic conditions like cancer, as well as infections caused by bacteria, fungi, and viruses. This review summarizes recent applications of ACs in skin treatment, with a particular focus on their use in anti-cancer drug therapy. It covers the synthesis, classification, and characterization of ACs using various experimental techniques. Additionally, it discusses recent research on different drug delivery pathways using ACs, including encapsulation efficiency, release behavior, characteristics, applications, and responses to various chemical and physical stimuli (both in vivo and in vitro). Furthermore, this review provides a comprehensive analysis of the effects of ACs NMs on several skin diseases, highlighting their potential as alternative treatments."

Nanocarrier-based systems provide a controlled, targeted, and efficacious methodology for the delivery of therapeutic molecules, leading to enhanced therapeutic efficacy, the protection of active molecules from degradation, and reduced adverse effects. These features are even more relevant in dual-loaded nanosystems, with the encapsulated drug molecules leading to synergistic antitumor effects. This review examines the potential of improving the treatment of skin cancer through dual-loaded liposomal systems. The performed analysis focused on the characterization of the developed liposomal formulations' particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, drug release, and in vitro and/or in vivo therapeutic efficacy and safety. The combination of therapeutic agents such as doxorubicin, 5-fluorouracil, paclitaxel, cetuximab, celecoxib, curcumin, resveratrol, quercetin, bufalin, hispolon, ceramide, DNA, STAT3 siRNA, Bcl-xl siRNA, Aurora-A inhibitor XY-4, 1-Methyl-tryptophan, and cytosine-phosphate-guanosine anionic peptide led to increased and targeted anticancer effects, having relevant complementary effects as well, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory activities, all relevant in skin cancer pathophysiology. The substantial potential of co-loaded liposomal systems as highly promising for advancing skin cancer treatment is demonstrated."

Despite advances in surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, the outlook for advanced melanoma remains bleak, reinforcing the urgent need for more effective treatments. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a promising alternative, leading to targeted tumor destruction with minimal harm to surrounding tissues. In this study, the direct and abscopal antitumor effects of PDT in a bilateral murine melanoma model were evaluated. Although only one of the two tumors was treated, effects were observed in both.

Fungal breast cancer leads to skin ulcers, wound ruptures, and other bacterial infections in patients. Ursolic acid (UA), a natural pentacyclic triterpene compound, is widely distributed in many fruits. Previous studies demonstrated that UA has anti-breast cancer, antifungal, and improved wound-healing effects. UA, however, had poor water solubility and low bioavailability, restricting its clinical application. Nanofibers have the advantages of rapid dissolution, improved stability, and bioavailability of active ingredients. We had successfully prepared ursolic acid nanofibers (UANFs) and effectively improved their water solubility and skin penetration. UANFs can increase water solubility by improving the physicochemical properties, including increased surface area, intermolecular bonding with excipients, and amorphous transformation. Furthermore, UANFs had better anti-breast cancer activity than raw UA. UANFs inhibited the expression of phospho-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and phospho-extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK)1/2, and induced cleaved caspase-3 protein expression, but had no effect on the raw UA treatment. In summary, UANFs enhanced the skin absorption of UA and improved its anti-breast cancer efficacy. We expect that UANFs can be used as an anti-breast cancer treatment and reduce the discomfort of breast cancer patients during dressing changes, but more detailed efficacy and safety trials still need to be conducted in further studies."

Therefore, specialty wound dressings with multifunctional bioactivity are urgently desired. Emodin is a natural anthraquinone compound that has anti-cancer and anti-bacterial properties. Herein, we fabricated coaxial electrospinning nanofibers loaded with emodin to exploit a multifunctional wound dressing for skin cancer postoperative management, which encapsulated emodin in a polyvinylpyrrolidone core layer, combined with chitosan-polycaprolactone as a shell layer. The nanofibers were characterized via morphology, physicochemical nature, drug load efficiency, pH-dependent drug release profiles, and biocompatibility. Meanwhile, the anti-cancer and anti-bacterial effects were evaluated in vitro. The emodin-loaded nanofibers exhibited smooth surfaces with a relatively uniform diameter distribution and a clear shell-core structure; remarkably, emodin was evenly dispersed in the nanofibers with significantly enhanced dissolution of emodin. Furthermore, they not only display good wettability, high emodin entrapment efficiency, and biphasic release profile but also present superior biocompatibility and anti-cancer properties by increasing the levels of MDA and ROS in A-375 and HSC-1 cells via apoptosis-related pathway, and long-term anti-bacterial effects in a dose-independent manner. The findings indicate that the emodin-loaded nanofiber wound dressing can provide a potential treatment strategy for skin cancer postoperative management."

This study aims to identify medical risk factors for thymoma as a systematic approach to new hypotheses on the aetiology of this disease. A European multi-centre case-control study was conducted from 1995 to 1997, including incident cases aged 35-69 years with thymoma. Altogether, we accepted 85 cases and 3350 controls, of which we interviewed 77 cases and 2071 population controls about constitutional factors, medical examinations, and former diseases. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Medical examinations with X-ray or radiotherapy performed >20 times at least one year before the thymoma diagnosis indicated a possible risk factor for thymoma (OR 1.58, 95% CI 0.93-2.69). Having the first radiotherapy treatment at least one year before the thymoma diagnosis yielded an OR for thymoma of 2.39; 95% CI (0.96-5.99), and if it was at least five years before, the OR for thymoma was 2.81; 95% CI (1.03-7.72). Having a red/auburn hair colour was associated with thymoma, (OR 3.6, 95% CI 1.4-9.5) whereas having pigmented skin was slightly associated with thymoma (OR 1.8, 95% CI 0.8-3.8). Over twenty instances of X-ray examinations or radiotherapy were identified as potential risk factors for thymoma, along with certain constitutional factors. The observed correlations between benign tumours and thymoma could stem from an inherent predisposition to tumour development or result from detection bias. Given that this is the initial analytical study examining medical risk factors for thymoma, all of the results should be approached with caution, acknowledging the possibility that some findings might be incidental."

The clear etiopathogenesis of periocular dermatitis is still not fully understood. Advances in molecular techniques for studying microorganisms living in and on our bodies have highlighted the microbiome as a possible contributor to disease, as well as a promising diagnostic marker and target for innovative treatments. The aim of this study was to compare the composition and diversity of the skin microbiota in the periocular region between healthy individuals and individuals affected by the specific entity of periocular dermatitis. (2) Methods: A total of 35 patients with periocular dermatitis and 39 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. After a skin swab from the periocular region was taken from all participants, DNA extraction and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing using Illumina NovaSeq technology were performed. (3) Results: "

The pathobiology of this tumor remains poorly understood, and few models exist that are suitable for preclinical testing. The aim of this study was to establish new cell lines to serve as models for pathobiological and drug testing. With patient consent, freshly resected tumor tissue was cultured using conditional reprogramming cell conditions. Standard techniques were used to characterize the cell lines in terms of overall growth, clonogenicity, apoptosis, and differentiation in vitro. Additional analyses including Western blotting, short tandem repeat (STR) profiling, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) were performed. Drug screening using mitomycin-C (MMC), 5-fluorouricil (5-FU), and 6-Diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON) were performed. JHH-SebCA01, JHH-SebCA02, and JHH-SebCA03 cell lines were established from two women and one man undergoing surgical resection of eyelid tumors. At passage 15, they each showed a doubling time of two to three days, and all could form colonies in anchorage-dependent conditions, but not in soft agar. The cells contained cytoplasmic vacuoles consistent with sebaceous differentiation, and adipophilin protein was present in all three lines. STR profiling confirmed that all lines were derived from their respective patients. NGS of the primary tumors and their matched cell lines identified numerous shared mutations, including alterations similar to those previously described in SebCA. Treatment with MMC or 5-FU resulted in dose-dependent growth inhibition and the induction of both apoptosis and differentiation. MYC protein was abundant in all three lines, and the glutamine metabolism inhibitor DON, previously shown to target high MYC tumors, slowed the growth of all our SebCA models. Ocular adnexal SebCA cell lines can be established using conditional reprogramming cell conditions, and our three new models are useful for testing therapies and interrogating the functional role of MYC and other possible molecular drivers. Current topical chemotherapies promote both apoptosis and differentiation in SebCA cells, and these tumors appear sensitive to inhibition or MYC-associated metabolic changes."

However, over 50% of patients experience limited or no response to ICI therapy. Resistance to ICIs is influenced by a complex interplay of tumour intrinsic and extrinsic factors. This review summarizes current ICIs for melanoma and the factors involved in resistance to the treatment. We also discuss emerging evidence that the microbiota can impact ICI treatment outcomes by modulating tumour biology and anti-tumour immune function. Furthermore, microbiota profiles may offer a non-invasive method for predicting ICI response. Therefore, future research into microbiota manipulation could provide cost-effective strategies to enhance ICI efficacy and improve outcomes for melanoma patients."

Drug-induced secondary tumorigenesis and the emergency of drug resistance worsen an already worrying scenario, thus rendering urgent the development of new treatments not dealing with mutable cellular processes. Triphenyl phosphonium salts (TPPSs), in addiction to acting as cytoplasmic membrane disruptors, are reported to be mitochondria-targeting compounds, exerting anticancer effects mainly by damaging their membranes and causing depolarization, impairing mitochondria functions and their DNA, triggering oxidative stress (OS), and priming primarily apoptotic cell death. TPP-based bola amphiphiles are capable of self-forming nanoparticles (NPs) with enhanced biological properties, as commonly observed for nanomaterials. Already employed in several other biomedical applications, the per se selective potent antibacterial effects of a TPP bola amphiphile have only recently been demonstrated on 50 multidrug resistant (MDR) clinical superbugs, as well as its exceptional and selective anticancer properties on sensitive and MDR neuroblastoma cells.

+1360,skin cancer,39337333,Recent Advancements in Cell-Based Therapies in Melanoma.,"Malignant melanoma outcomes have drastically changed in recent years due to the introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, many patients still experience intolerable side effects, therapy resistance, and disease progression on ICI therapy. Therefore, there remains a need for novel therapeutics that address this gap in treatment options. Cell-based therapies have gained wide attention as a therapeutic option that could address this gap in treatment options for advanced melanoma. These therapies work by extracting certain cell types produced in the human body such as T-cells, modifying them based on a specific target, and transfusing them back into the patient. In the realm of cancer therapy, cell-based therapies utilize immune cells to target tumor cells while sparing healthy cells. Recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the usage of lifileucel, a tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy, in advanced melanoma. This came following recent results from the C-144-01 study (NCT02360579), which demonstrated the efficacy and safety of TILs in metastatic melanoma patients who otherwise failed on standard ICI/targeted therapy. Thus, the results of this trial as well as the recent FDA approval have proven the viability of utilizing cell-based therapies to fill the gap in treatment options for patients with advanced melanoma. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of major cell-based therapies that have been utilized in melanoma by delineating results of the most recent multi-center phase II/ III clinical trials that evaluate the efficacy and safety of major cell-based therapies in melanoma. Additionally, we provide a summary of current limitations in each cell-based therapeutic option as well as a future direction of how to further extrapolate these cell-based therapies in advanced melanoma."

The clonal integration of MCPyV DNA into the host genome is a signature event of this malignancy. The resulting expression of oncogenes, including the small T (sT) antigen and a truncated form of the LT (truncLT), directly contribute to carcinogenesis. The truncation of the C-terminus of LT prevents the virus from replicating due to the loss of the origin binding domain (OBD) and the helicase domain. This precludes cytopathic effects that would lead to DNA damage and ultimately cell death. At the same time, the LxCxE motif in the N-terminus is retained, allowing truncLT to bind the retinoblastoma protein (pRb), a cellular tumor suppressor. The continuously inactivated pRb promotes cell proliferation and tumor development. truncLT exerts several classical functions of an oncogene: altering the host cell cycle, suppressing innate immune responses to viral DNA, causing immune escape, and shifting metabolism in favor of cancer cells. Given its central role in MCC, the LT is a major target for therapeutic interventions with novel approaches, such as immune checkpoint inhibition, T cell-based immunotherapy, and cancer vaccines."

Cornulin, a squamous epithelium-specific protein, has recently garnered attention due to its implications in the progression of squamous cell carcinoma developed in several tissues. As an epidermal differentiation marker, it is involved in skin anchoring, regulating cellular proliferation, and is a putative tumor suppressor. The physiologically healthy squamous epithelium displays a considerable level of Cornulin, whereas squamous cell carcinomas have marked downregulation, suggesting that Cornulin expression levels can be utilized for the early detection and follow-up on the progression of these types of cancer. Cornulin's expression patterns in cervical cancer have been examined, and findings support the stepwise downregulation of Cornulin levels that accompanies the progression to neoplasia in the cervix. Additional studies documented a similar trend in expression in other types of cancer, such as cutaneous, esophageal, and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas. The consistent and predictable pattern of Cornulin expression across several squamous cell carcinomas and its correlation with key clinicopathological parameters make it a reliable biomarker for assessing the transformation and progression events in the squamous epithelium, thus potentially contributing to the early detection, definitive diagnosis, and more favorable prognosis for these cancer patients."

In this regard, there is growing evidence that dermoscopy may benefit the recognition of BCC even for skin of color (SoC). The objective of this review is to provide an up-to-date overview on clinical and dermoscopic patterns of BCC in SoC, also comparing such findings with those of the main clinical mimickers reported in the literature. A comprehensive search of the literature through the PubMed electronic database was carried out in order to identify papers describing the clinical and dermoscopic features of BCC in dark phototypes (IV-VI). By finding macroscopic clinical presentations of BCCs in SoC patients and any possible clinical mimickers considered in the retrieved papers, we built a differential diagnosis list and analyzed the dermoscopic findings of such conditions to facilitate the diagnosis of BCC. BCC in darker skin may present as pigmented nodular lesions, pigmented patches or plaques, ulcers, erythematous nodular lesions, erythematous plaques or patches, or scar-like lesions, depending on its subtype and body site. The differential diagnosis for BCC in patients with SoC includes squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, nevi, adnexal tumors and sebaceous keratosis. Additionally, it differs from that of Caucasians, as it also includes lesions less common in fair skin, such as dermatosis papulosa nigra, melanotrichoblastoma, and pigmented dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, and excludes conditions like actinic keratosis and keratoacanthoma, which rarely appear in darker skin. The resulting differences also include infectious diseases such as deep cutaneous mycosis and inflammatory dermatoses. The most prevalent differentiating dermoscopic feature for BCC includes blue, black and gray dots, though arborizing vessels still remain the predominant BCC feature, even in dark phototypes. Diagnostic approach to BCC in dark-skinned patients varies due to the prevalence of dermoscopy findings associated with hyperpigmented structures. Clinicians should be aware of such points of differentiation for a proper management of this tumor in SoC."

Electromagnetic and magnetic fields have been classified as possible human carcinogens, but current understanding of molecular and cellular pathways involved is very limited. Effects due to extremely low magnetic/hypomagnetic fields (LMF) are furthermore poorly understood. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are crucial mediators of cellular communication with multifaceted roles in cancer progression, including via transport and uptake of various protein and microRNA (miRNA) EV-cargoes. miRNAs regulate gene expression and are implicated in cancer-related processes such as proliferation, metastasis, and chemoresistance. This study investigated the effects of LMF exposure (20 nT) by magnetic shielding on the prostate cancer cell line PC3 compared to the prostate epithelial cell line PNT2 under short-term (4 h) conditions. We examined EV profiles following a 4 h LMF exposure alongside associated functional enrichment KEGG and GO pathways for the EV proteomes. The 4 h LMF exposure significantly reduced cellular EV release and modified PC3 EV cargoes to a more inflammatory and metastatic profile, with 16 Disease Pathways and 95 Human Phenotypes associated specifically with the LMF-treated PC3 EV proteomes. These included cancerous, metabolic, blood, skin, cardiac and skeletal Disease Pathways, as well as pain and developmental disorders. In the normal PNT2 cells, less EV protein cargo was observed following LMF exposure compared with cells not exposed to LMF, and fewer associated functional enrichment pathways were identified. This pointed to some differences in various cellular functions, ageing, defence responses, oxidative stress, and disease phenotypes, including respiratory, digestive, immune, and developmental pathways. Furthermore, we analysed alterations in matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and miRNAs linked to metastasis, as this is crucial in cancer aggressiveness. The 4 h LMF exposure caused a significant increase in MMP2 and MMP9, as well as in onco-miRs miR-155, miR-210, miR-21, but a significant reduction in tumour-suppressor miRs (miR-200c and miR-126) in the metastatic PC3 cells, compared with normal PNT2 cells. In addition, 4 h LMF exposure significantly induced cellular invasion of PC3 cells. Overall, our findings suggest that changes in magnetic field exposures modulate EV-mediated and miR-regulatory processes in PCa metastasis, providing a basis for exploring novel therapeutic strategies."

This review summarizes the current state of treatment for cSCC in immunosuppressed patients, focusing on prevention, prophylaxis, surgical and non-surgical treatments, and emerging therapies. Preventative measures, including high-SPF sunscreen and prophylactic retinoids, are crucial for reducing cSCC incidence in these patients. Adjusting immunosuppressive regimens, particularly favoring mTOR inhibitors over calcineurin inhibitors, has been shown to lower cSCC risk. Surgical excision and Mohs micrographic surgery remain the primary treatments, with adjuvant radiation therapy recommended for high-risk cases. Traditional chemotherapy and targeted therapies like EGFR inhibitors have been utilized, though their efficacy varies. Immunotherapy, particularly with agents like cemiplimab and pembrolizumab, has shown promise, but its use in immunosuppressed patients requires further investigation due to potential risks of organ rejection and exacerbation of underlying conditions. Treatment of cSCC in immunosuppressed patients is multifaceted, involving preventive strategies, tailored surgical approaches, and cautious use of systemic therapies. While immunotherapy has emerged as a promising option, its application in immunosuppressed populations necessitates further research to optimize safety and efficacy. Future studies should focus on the integration of personalized medicine and combination therapies to improve outcomes for this vulnerable patient group."
+1380,skin cancer,39334768,Oxidative Stress and Age-Related Tumors.,"Oxidative stress is the result of the imbalance between reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), which are produced by several endogenous and exogenous processes, and antioxidant defenses consisting of exogenous and endogenous molecules that protect biological systems from free radical toxicity. Oxidative stress is a major factor in the aging process, contributing to the accumulation of cellular damage over time. Oxidative damage to cellular biomolecules, leads to DNA alterations, lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and mitochondrial dysfunction resulting in cellular senescence, immune system and tissue dysfunctions, and increased susceptibility to age-related pathologies, such as inflammatory disorders, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, and cancer. Oxidative stress-driven DNA damage and mutations, or methylation and histone modification, which alter gene expression, are key determinants of tumor initiation, angiogenesis, metastasis, and therapy resistance. Accumulation of genetic and epigenetic damage, to which oxidative stress contributes, eventually leads to unrestrained cell proliferation, the inhibition of cell differentiation, and the evasion of cell death, providing favorable conditions for tumorigenesis. Colorectal, breast, lung, prostate, and skin cancers are the most frequent aging-associated malignancies, and oxidative stress is implicated in their pathogenesis and biological behavior. Our aim is to shed light on the molecular and cellular mechanisms that link oxidative stress, aging, and cancers, highlighting the impact of both RONS and antioxidants, provided by diet and exercise, on cellular senescence, immunity, and development of an antitumor response. The dual role of ROS as physiological regulators of cell signaling responsible for cell damage and diseases, as well as its use for anti-tumor therapeutic purposes, will also be discussed.

Among the different human tumors, cutaneous melanoma, the most aggressive and lethal form of skin cancer, is undoubtedly one of the most well-known ""ROS-driven tumor"", of which one of the main causes is represented by ultraviolet (UV) rays' exposure. Although the role of excessive ROS production in melanoma development in pro-tumorigenic cell fate is now well established, little is known about its contribution to the progression of the melanoma metastatic process. Increasing evidence suggests a dual role of ROS in melanoma progression: excessive ROS production may enhance cellular growth and promote therapeutic resistance, but at the same time, it can also have cytotoxic effects on cancer cells, inducing their apoptosis. In this context, the aim of the present work was to focus on the relationship between cell redox state and the signaling pathways directly involved in the metastatic processes. In addition, oxidative or antioxidant therapeutic strategies for metastatic melanoma were also reviewed and discussed."

A potential candidate for immunotherapy is interleukin-12 (IL-12), a cytokine well known for its ability to mediate antitumor activity. We developed a plasmid encoding human IL-12 devoid of an antibiotic resistance gene (phIL12). For the approval of phase I clinical trials in basal cell carcinoma (BCC), the regulatory agency requires non-clinical in vivo testing of the pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties of the plasmid. As human IL-12 is not biologically active in mice, a mouse ortholog of the plasmid phIL12 (pmIL12) was evaluated. The evaluation demonstrated the antitumor effectiveness of the protein accompanied by immune cell infiltration. The plasmid was distributed throughout the body, and the amount of plasmid diminished over time in all organs except the skin around the tumor. The therapy did not cause any detectable systemic toxicity. The results of the non-clinical evaluation demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the pmIL12/phIL12 GET, and on the basis of these results, approval was obtained for the initiation of a phase I clinical study in BCC."

However, precise coordinated mechanisms underlying this phenomenon in tumorigenesis remains incompletely understood. Here, we show that Prohibitin 2 (PHB2) orchestrates the transcription of an oncogenic CASC15-New-Isoform 2 (CANT2) lncRNA and the coding tumor-suppressor gene CCBE1, thereby accelerating melanoma tumorigenesis. In melanoma cells, PHB2 initially accesses the open chromatin sites at the CANT2 promoter, recruiting MLL2 to augment H3K4 trimethylation and activate CANT2 transcription. Intriguingly, PHB2 further binds the activated CANT2 transcript, targeting the promoter of the tumor-suppressor gene CCBE1. This interaction recruits histone deacetylase HDAC1 to decrease H3K27 acetylation at the CCBE1 promoter and inhibit its transcription, significantly promoting tumor cell growth and metastasis both in vitro and in vivo. Our study elucidates a PHB2-mediated mechanism that orchestrates the aberrant transcription of lncRNAs and coding genes, providing an intriguing epigenetic regulatory model in tumorigenesis."

However, there are few comprehensive analyses of tumor prognosis and immunity. In the present study, TCGA, GTEx, GEO, TIMER2, STRING, GSCA, ImmuCellAI, and other bioinformatics tools were used to reveal the involvement of the Hippo-YAP signaling pathway in the prognosis and immunity of pan-cancers. The obtained results showed that mRNA expression differences of Hippo-YAP pathway genes between normal samples and tumor samples in pan-cancers and some genes (such as TEAD4, MAP4K4, and STK3) might affect the prognosis of patients with skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) and pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD). Furthermore, mutation and methylation of the Hippo-YAP signaling pathway genes in normal and primary tumor tissues differ in various cancers (KIRP, BRCA). Additionally, the relationship between the tumor microenvironment, molecular pathways, and the Hippo-YAP pathway indicated that it might lead to a suppressive immune microenvironment that affects the efficacy of immunotherapy. This is a pan-cancer overview of the Hippo-YAP signaling pathway genes, which explores the aberrant expression or mutation of this pathway that regulates the tumor microenvironment and immunotherapy."

+1396,skin cancer,39332247,High-Intensity focused ultrasound linear array and system for dermatology treatment.,"Dermatological lesions are typically located just a few millimeters below the surface of the skin, which constrains the efficacy of optical-based therapeutic methods such as photothermal and photodynamic therapy due to limited therapeutic depth caused by optical scattering. As an alternative, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been explored for its potential to treat a variety of dermatological conditions because it offers greater flexibility in terms of treatment depth. Since dermatological lesions have a small thickness ranging from 1.5 to 2.0 mm, high-frequency ultrasound (3-10 MHz or higher) is preferred as the focal area is proportional to the operating frequency. However, due to the difficulty in fabricating HIFU array transducers at this frequency range, the majority of HIFU treatments for dermatology rely on single element transducers. Despite the advantages of HIFU, single-element-based HIFU systems are limited in prevalent use for dermatology treatment due to their fixed focal length and mechanical movement for treatment, which can be time-consuming and unsuitable for treating multiple lesions. To address this, we present a newly developed HIFU linear array and 128-channel driving electronics specifically designed for dermatology treatment. This array consists of 128 elements, has a center frequency of 3.7 MHz, an elevation focal length of 28 mm, and an F-number of 1.27 in the elevation direction. The array has a footprint of 71.6 mm by 22 mm.

While surgical excision is the primary treatment, unraveling the molecular intricacies of SGC is imperative for advancing targeted therapeutic interventions and enhancing patient outcomes. This comprehensive review delves into the molecular landscape of eyelid SGC, emphasizing key genetic alterations, signaling pathways, epigenetic modifications, and potential therapeutic targets. Significant findings include aberrations in critical signaling pathways (β-catenin, lymphoid enhancer binding factor, hedgehog, epidermal growth factor receptor, P53, and P21WAF1) associated with SGC progression and poor prognosis. Notably, eyelid SGC manifests a distinctive mutational profile, lacking ultraviolet signature mutations in tumor protein 53 (TP53), indicating alternative mutagenic mechanisms. Next-generation sequencing identifies actionable mutations in genes such as phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and Erb-B2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (ERBB2), facilitating the emergence of personalized medicine approaches. Molecular chaperones, specifically X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) and BAG3, emerge as pivotal players in promoting tumor survival and proliferation. The review underscores the role of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, where regulators like E-cadherin, vimentin, and ZEB2 contribute to SGC aggressiveness. Epigenetic modifications, encompassing DNA methylation and microRNA dysregulation, further elucidate the molecular landscape. This review consolidates a comprehensive understanding of the molecular drivers of eyelid SGC, shedding light on potential therapeutic targets and providing a foundation for future investigations in diagnostic, prognostic, and personalized treatment strategies for this formidable malignancy."

This study presents patients diagnosed and treated in a ""real world"" setting, where navigating limited resources must be considered. This retrospective single-center review includes 15 adult patients diagnosed with RDD at Vancouver General Hospital between November 2015 and October 2023. The cohort comprised five males and ten females with a median age 53 years (range 19-80 years). All 15 patients had extra-nodal disease; 11 patients exclusively had extra-nodal disease, and four patients also had lymph node involvement. Seven patients had tissue next-generation sequencing, identifying MAP2K1 mutations in four cases and a KRAS p.K117N mutation in one case that was treated with targeted therapy using trametinib. PET-CT was used for disease staging in four cases. Six patients with refractory disease tolerated lenalidomide and dexamethasone without significant toxicity; three patients achieved complete response, and three had partial response. This study highlights RDD's diverse extra-nodal manifestations. Lenalidomide combined with dexamethasone is an effective and well-tolerated treatment option for select patients, especially those with refractory disease.

+1403,skin cancer,39330302,Fermented Fish Collagen Attenuates Melanogenesis via Decreasing UV-Induced Oxidative Stress.,"Excessive melanogenesis leads to hyperpigmentation-related cosmetic problems. UV exposure increases oxidative stress, which promotes melanogenesis-related signal pathways such as the PKA, microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), tyrosinase (TYR), tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP1), and tyrosinase-related protein-2 (TRP2) pathways. Glycine is a source of endogenous antioxidants, including glutathione. Fermented fish collagen (FC) contains glycine; thus, we evaluated the effect of FC on decreasing melanogenesis via decreasing oxidative stress. The glycine receptor (GlyR) and glycine transporter-1 (GlyT1) levels were decreased in UV-irradiated keratinocytes; however, the expression levels of these proteins increased upon treatment with FC. The FC decreased oxidative stress, as indicated by the decreasing expression of NOX1/2/4, increased expression of GSH/GSSG, increased SOD activity, and decreased 8-OHdG expression in UV-irradiated keratinocytes. Administration of conditioned media from FC-treated keratinocytes to melanocytes led to decreased p38, PKC, MITF, TRP1, and TRP2 expression. These changes induced by the FC were also observed in UV-irradiated animal skin. FC treatment increased the expression of GlyR and GlyT, which was accompanied by decreased oxidative stress in the UV-irradiated skin. Moreover, the FC negatively regulated the melanogenesis signaling pathways, leading to decreased melanin content in the UV-irradiated skin. In conclusion, FC decreased UV-induced oxidative stress and melanogenesis in melanocytes and animal skin. FC could be used in the treatment of UV-induced hyperpigmentation problems."

There is a need for therapeutic approaches that lead to long-lasting responses and improved quality of life and survival. Mogamulizumab, a humanized antibody against the CCR4 molecule, and low-dose total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) are two known established treatments for MF and SS as a monotherapy. However, little is known about the potential additive effect on the combination of both treatments. We report here for the first time the concurrent use of low-dose hypofractionated TSEBT (2 × 4 Gy) with mogamulizumab. Based on two relapsed/refractory and advanced-stage CTCL patients, we show that this combination may be well tolerated in advanced-stage MF or SS and may potentially lead to an additive treatment effect on response times, particularly in the skin and blood within two weeks. We propose that this combination may be a treatment option for patients with SS. Further research is needed to understand the efficacy and tolerability profile of this therapeutic combination and to determine if there is an additive effect of the combination on the response rates when compared with the monotherapy."

The complete pathogenesis of MM in not clear. Due to DNA damage, mutations, dysregulation of growth factors, inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, and activation of oncogenes, excessive uncontrolled growth of abnormal melanocytes occurs in melanomas. Caspases are a group of proteolytic enzymes that participate in several processes important in regulating mechanisms at the cellular level. They play a role in cell homeostasis and programmed cell death (apoptosis) and in the regulation of non-apoptotic cell death processes. Dysregulation of caspase activation plays a role in the etiology of cancers, including melanoma. Caspases can initiate and execute apoptosis and are involved in regulating cell death and controlling tumor growth. These enzymes also inhibit tumor growth by cleaving and inactivating proteins that are involved in cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Moreover, caspases are involved in the activation of immune processes through the processing and presentation of tumor antigens, which facilitates recognition of the tumor by the immune system. The role of caspases in melanoma is complex, and they may inhibit melanoma growth and progression. This work aims to review the current knowledge of the role of individual caspases in melanoma pathogenesis."

Since p90RSK is downstream of MAPK, it is often hyperactive and capable of phosphorylating oncogenic substrates. We have previously shown that p90RSK phosphorylates MDM2 at S166, promoting p53 degradation in follicular thyroid carcinomas. Thus, the inhibition of p90RSK restores p53 expression, which in turn inhibits cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis. In the present study, we demonstrated that the p90RSK/MDM2/p53 pathway proved to be an excellent target in the therapy of tumors with MAPK hyperactivation. For this purpose, we selected p53wt melanoma, lung and medullary thyroid carcinoma cell lines with high activation of p90RSK.

Here, we describe 35 superficial tumors with SAMS morphology, which occurred in 18 females (51%) and 17 males at a median age at presentation of 39 years (range: 6 to 82 y). Most tumors occurred on the lower extremity (25 tumors; 71%), followed by upper extremity (5; 14%), trunk (3; 9%), and face (2; 6%). Nine tumors were reported to have grown slowly before presentation, including >10 years in 2 cases. Tumors occurred primarily in the dermis (32 tumors; 91%) or subcutis (3; 9%); 8 dermal tumors extended into the subcutis. Median tumor size was 1.3 cm (range: 0.5 to 8.0 cm). Clinical follow-up was available for 12 patients (34%; range: 2 mo to 21 y; median: 2.7 y), none of whom experienced metastasis. One incompletely resected tumor recurred locally at 19 months, and no other patients experienced recurrence. Histologically, tumors were characterized by bland spindle-to-ovoid cells showing whorled growth and myxoid-to-collagenous stroma. Recurrent features included an epidermal collarette (19/30; 63%), perivascular hyalinization (20/35; 57%), amianthoid collagen (14/35; 40%), and metaplastic ossification (2/35; 6%). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) demonstrated expression of ALK (24/31; 77%), CD34 (15/21; 71%), EMA (17/28; 61%), and S-100 (9/32; 28%). Eleven tumors showed hybrid morphologic features between EFH and SAMS; 9 of them (82%) showed cytomorphology typical of EFH but with whorled growth, myxoid stroma, and/or regions of spindle cell morphology. Two hybrid tumors showed sharp transitions between a region characteristic of EFH and a region characteristic of SAMS, with a concomitant sharp transition in EMA, CD34, and S-100 expression by IHC. Sequencing revealed ALK fusions in 15 of 19 tumors: 2 each with fusion partners FLNA, SQSTM1, and VCL, and 1 each with COL1A2, DCTN1, EML4, FXR1, MPRIP, PLEKHH2, PRKAR1A, SPECC1L, and TLN2. Thirteen of 14 ALK-rearranged tumors expressed ALK by IHC. Three tumors negative for ALK fusions instead harbored alternate RTK fusions (NCOA4::RET, TRIM27::RET, and VIM::NTRK3), and 1 tumor was negative for RTK alterations. CDKN2A/B deletions were found in 2 tumors with ALK fusions and both tumors with RET fusions. SAMS is on a morphologic and molecular genetic spectrum with EFH, with a similar body site distribution, frequent clinical presentation as an exophytic skin tumor, and invariably benign outcomes; we conclude that SAMS should be considered a histologic variant of EFH. Some morphologically typical examples harbor alternate RET and NTRK3 fusions, such that SAMS is not an appropriate designation for this morphologic class; instead, to highlight the clinicopathologic similarities to EFH, we propose the diagnostic term ""myxoid spindle cell variant of epithelioid fibrous histiocytoma."""

Objective To evaluate clinical and pathological features of Primary cutaneous lymphomas in Nepal. Method We retrospectively reviewed outpatient and inpatient records of a dermatology referral centre of Kathmandu, Nepal for clinical and pathological findings of cases diagnosed as cutaneous lymphomas from July 2010 through July 2020. The final diagnosis was made based on 2008 World Health Organization classification and its update 2018. Result There were 12 cases of Primary cutaneous lymphomas diagnosed during this period. The age of presentation ranged from 19 years to 81 years (Mean: 53.4 years ± 21.5 years, SD). There were ten cases of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCLs) and two cases of cutaneous B- cell lymphomas (CBCLs). Among cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, there were four cases of primary cutaneous anaplastic large- cell Lymphoma (PCALCL), two cases of classic (patch/plaque) mycosis fungoides (MF), two cases of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (FMF), and one case each of primary cutaneous aggressive epidermotropicCD8+ T-cell lymphoma and lymphomatoid papulosis. Among cutaneous B- cell lymphomas, there was one case of primary cutaneous marginal zone B- cell lymphoma, and one case of primary cutaneous follicle centre lymphoma. Most cases of MF presented at stage IB (75%), and three patients of primary cutaneous lymphomas died during this period. Conclusion Primary cutaneous lymphomas appear to be very rare in this study and presentations ranged from classic Mycoses Fungoides to aggressive T-cell lymphomas.

The HMN-miR sensor facilitates a new assay that, with further optimization, could be applied in future clinical settings. Its simple fabrication process and excellent biocompatibility give it significant potential for various clinical uses, such as personalized cancer treatment and monitoring the healing progress of burn wounds."

To address this challenge, we analyzed the feasibility of photoplethysmography-based angiography for assessing vascular structures within malignant and benign tumors. The proposed hardware and software were approved in a clinical study involving 30 patients with tumors located in the legs, torso, arms, and head. High-contrast and detailed vessel maps within both benign and malignant tumors were obtained. We demonstrated that capillary maps are consistent and can be interpreted using well-established dermoscopic criteria for vascular morphology. Vessel mapping provides valuable details, which may not be available in dermoscopic images and can aid in determining whether a tumor is benign or malignant. We believe that the proposed approach may become a valuable tool in the preliminary cancer diagnosis and is suitable for large-scale screening."

This abnormal bone growth contributes to pain and reduced mobility, especially when adjacent to a joint. Our prior observations suggested an essential role of NGF (Nerve Growth Factor)-responsive TrkA (Tropomyosin Receptor Kinase A)-expressing peripheral nerves in regulating abnormal osteochondral differentiation following tendon injury. Here, we utilized a recently developed mouse model of hip arthroplasty-induced HO to further validate the role of peripheral nerve regulation of traumatic HO. Nerve ingrowth was either modulated using a knockin transgenic animals with point mutation in TrkA, or local treatment with an FDA-approved formulation of long acting Bupivacaine which prevents peripheral nerve growth. Results demonstrate exuberant sensory and sympathetic nerve growth within the peri-articular HO site, and that both methods to reduce local innervation significantly reduced heterotopic bone formation. TrkA inhibition led to a 34% reduction in bone volume, while bupivacaine treatment resulted in a 50% decrease. Mechanistically, alterations in TGFβ and FGF signaling activation accompanied both methods of local denervation, and a shift in macrophages from M1 to M2 phenotypes was observed. In sum, these studies reinforce the observations that peripheral nerves play a role in the etiopathogenesis of HO, and that targeting local nerves represents a potential therapeutic approach for disease prevention."

Identification of nerves for use in autologous sensate breast reconstruction flaps is an important surgical consideration as loss of breast sensation is a common risk of ABR. The posterior femoral cutaneous nerve (PFCN) and its branches supply sensory innervation to skin of the posterior thigh, leg, perineum, and buttocks, creating a feasible candidate for sensate profunda artery perforator (PAP) flaps for reestablishing breast sensation through ABR. This study characterized PFCN perforating branches located within the PAP flap region as compared to an anatomical landmark intersection (ALI). Twenty-three posterior thigh regions from 15 formalin-embalmed donors were dissected to the level of deep fascia to identify PFCN branches. PFCN branch diameter (mean, 1.34 ± 0.35 mm) and length (mean, 8.82 ± 5.78 mm) piercing the deep fascia were measured; branches were retro-dissected proximally to the PFCN trunk and the distance recorded (mean, 92.55 ± 38.00 mm). The distance to branch emergence from ALI (mean, 113.55 ± 19.80 mm) and from the midline of the posterior thigh (mean, 18.90 ± 11.17 mm) were calculated. Two-Tailed T-tests comparing the left and right limb of 7 donors determined bilateral, statistically significant difference between the length of branch emergence back to the main trunk of PFCN (P = .00). These findings illustrate the presence of adequate yet variable PFCN branches within the PAP flap region in regards to diameter, length, and location for use in sensate ABR."

+1424,skin cancer,39326692,Tissue expansion mitigates radiation-induced skin fibrosis in a porcine model.,"Tissue expansion (TE) is the primary method for breast reconstruction after mastectomy. In many cases, mastectomy patients undergo radiation treatment (XR). Radiation is known to induce skin fibrosis and is one of the main causes for complications during post-mastectomy breast reconstruction. TE, on the other hand, induces a pro-regenerative response that culminates in growth of new skin. However, the combined effect of XR and TE on skin mechanics is unknown. Here we used the porcine model of TE to study the effect of radiation on skin fibrosis through biaxial testing, histological analysis, and kinematic analysis of skin deformation over time. We found that XR leads to stiffening of skin compared to control based on a shift in the transition stretch (transition between a low stiffness and an exponential stress-strain region characteristic of collagenous tissue) and an increase in the high modulus (modulus computed with stress-stretch data past the transition point). The change in transition stretch can be explained by thicker, more aligned collagen fiber bundles measured in histology images. Skin subjected to both XR+TE showed similar microstructure to controls as well as similar biaxial response, suggesting that physiological remodeling of collagen induced by TE partially counteracts pro-fibrotic XR effects. Skin growth was indirectly assessed with a kinematic approach that quantified increase in permanent area changes without reduction in thickness, suggesting production of new tissue driven by TE even in the presence of radiation treatment. Future work will focus on the detailed biological mechanisms by which TE counteracts radiation induced fibrosis. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Breast cancer is the most prevalent in women and its treatment often results in total breast removal (mastectomy), followed by reconstruction using tissue expanders. Radiation, which is used in about a third of breast reconstruction cases, can lead to significant complications. The timing of radiation treatment remains controversial. Radiation is known to cause immediate skin damage and long-term fibrosis. Tissue expansion leads to a pro-regenerative response involving collagen remodeling. Here we show that tissue expansion immediately prior to radiation can reduce the level of radiation-induced fibrosis. Thus, we anticipate that this new evidence will open up new avenues of investigation into how the collagen remodeling and pro-regenerative effects of tissue expansion can be leverage to prevent radiation-induced fibrosis."
+1425,skin cancer,39326690,A comprehensive review of PRAME and BAP1 in melanoma: Genomic instability and immunotherapy targets.,"In a thorough review of the literature, the complex roles of PRAME (preferentially expressed Antigen of Melanoma) and BAP1 (BRCA1-associated protein 1) have been investigated in uveal melanoma (UM) and cutaneous melanoma. High PRAME expression in UM is associated with poor outcomes and correlated with extraocular extension and chromosome 8q alterations. BAP1 mutations in the UM indicate genomic instability and a poor prognosis. Combining PRAME and BAP1 immunohistochemical staining facilitates effective risk stratification. Mechanistically, both genes are associated with genomic instability, making them promising targets for cancer immunotherapy. Hypomethylation of PRAME, specifically in its promoter regions, is critical for UM progression and contributes to epigenetic reprogramming. Additionally, miR-211 regulation is crucial in melanoma and has therapeutic potential. The way PRAME changes signaling pathways provides clues about the cause of cancer due to genomic instability related to modifications in DNA repair. Inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and PARP-2 in cells expressing PRAME could lead to potential therapeutic applications. Pathway enrichment analysis underscores the significance of PRAME and BAP1 in melanoma pathogenesis."

This type of skin cancer exhibits unique adaptability to the brain microenvironment, but its underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Recent findings have suggested that melanoma brain metastases may share biological processes similar to those found in various neurodegenerative diseases. To further characterize melanoma brain metastasis development, we explore the relationship between the transcriptional profiles of melanoma brain metastases and the neurodegenerative diseases Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis. We take an in silico approach to unveil a neurodegenerative signature of melanoma brain metastases compared with those of melanoma nonbrain metastasis (53 dysregulated genes were enriched in 11 functional terms, such as associated terms to the extracellular matrix and development) and with those of nontumor-bearing brain controls (195 dysregulated genes, mostly involved in development and cell differentiation, chromatin remodeling and nucleosome organization, and translation). Two genes, ITGA10 and DNAJC6, emerged as key potential markers being dysregulated in both scenarios. Finally, we developed an open-source, user-friendly web tool (https://bioinfo.cipf.es/metafun-mbm/) that allows interactive exploration of the complete results."

Microneedle-based drug delivery system has been regarded as a promise hair follicle-targeted drug delivery approach, largely because they can effectively penetrate the stratum corneum barrier and deliver drugs to hair follicles within dermis. However, the currently reported microneedles for treating hair-related disorders usually rely on rigid backings, showing poor adaptability to the curved scalp and thereby restricting their usability for hair follicles targeted drug delivery. To this end, this study utilized sodium alginate and polyvinylpyrrolidone to construct a scalp-curvature-conforming microneedle with flexible backing. Subsequently, Psoralea corylifolia extract (PE) was loaded into the microneedles to investigate its capability in delivering PE to the hair follicle site for treating leukotrichia associated with vitiligo. These PE-loaded microneedles can effectively conform to the curvature of skin, enhancing the efficiency of microneedle insertion and ensuring stable drug delivery. Moreover, animal studies demonstrate that the PE loaded microneedles can effectively penetrate the stratum corneum, benefiting the drug delivery to hair follicles located site, and consequently showing a successful inhibition of hair graying. In summary, the present study reports a design and preparation of scalp-curvature-conforming microneedle. This design may offer a potential solution for efficient drug delivery using microneedles to the curved skin."

They consist of surfactant macromolecules arranged in a bilayer, which surrounds an aqueous solute solution. Amphiphilic, biodegradable, biocompatible, and environmentally friendly materials are utilized for encapsulating the drugs in vesicles that enhance the bioavailability, therapeutic efficacy, penetration of drug via the skin, and drug release in a controlled or sustained manner, and are employed to target the anticipated area via modifying composition that acts to minimize undesirable effects. With cholesterol as the lipid, Tween 20, Span 60, and Tween 60 are mostly employed as surfactants. Many medications, including Glibenclamide for diabetic kidney disease and anti-cancer medications including gemcitabine, cisplatin, and nintedanib, have been effectively encapsulated into niosomes. The traditional approach for creating niosomes at the lab scale is a thin film hydration process. The ideal ratio between primary components as well as critical manufacturing process parameters is key component in creating the best niosomal formulations with substantial drug loading and nanometric form. Utilizing the Design of Experiments (DoE) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) in conjunction with Quality by design (QbD) is essential for comprehending how these variables interact both during lab preparation and during the scale-up process.

The most common subtypes, basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) have very low mortality. Current consideration of skin cancer in radiological protection is mainly based on data from the 1990s, which indicate that BCC may be induced by ionizing radiation, SCC is only weakly associated with ionizing radiation, and malignant melanoma (MM) is not considered as ionizing radiation-induced. In a semi-systematic review of the evidence between 1990 and 2023, we snowballed 19 index articles. We identified 29 articles with information on a potential dose-response relationship between skin cancer and ionizing radiation exposure and assessed the evidence for a causal association. Exposure situations included a-bomb survivors, therapeutic and occupational exposure (airlines, nuclear and medical facilities) and residents exposed to radon. There is currently no epidemiological evidence that MM or SCC are caused by ionizing radiation. The only skin cancer type with evidence for a causal relationship is BCC, and evidence is limited to exposures above 0.5 Gy with a wide range of risk levels per dose. Thus, ionizing radiation-inducible skin cancer refers to BCC only and only at levels of exposure beyond those experienced by the vast majority of people exposed today."

While its pathologic features are well defined, its etiology remains unclear, and there is no FDA-approved therapy. Interestingly, Grover disease was a common adverse event in clinical trials for cancer using B-RAF inhibitors, but it remained unknown how B-RAF blockade compromised skin integrity. Here, we identified ERK hyperactivation as a key driver of Grover disease pathology. We leveraged a fluorescent biosensor to confirm that the B-RAF inhibitors dabrafenib and vemurafenib paradoxically activated ERK in human keratinocytes and organotypic epidermis, disrupting cell-cell junctions and weakening epithelial integrity. Consistent with clinical data showing that concomitant MEK blockade prevents Grover disease in patients receiving B-RAF inhibitors, we found that MEK inhibition suppressed ERK and rescued cohesion of B-RAF-inhibited keratinocytes. Validating these results, we demonstrated ERK hyperactivation in patient biopsies from vemurafenib-induced Grover disease and from spontaneous Grover disease, revealing a common etiology for both. Finally, in line with our recent identification of ERK hyperactivation in Darier disease, a genetic disorder with identical pathology to Grover disease, our studies uncovered that the pathogenic mechanisms of these diseases converge on ERK signaling and support MEK inhibition as a therapeutic strategy."

Despite its established morbidity, KC risk in liver transplant (LT) recipients is understudied, including the contribution of immunosuppression regimen and latitude. A retrospective cohort of 9,966 adult first LT alone recipients alive with their native allograft at 1-year post-LT without prior KC between 2007 and 2016 were identified using linked data from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network and Medicare administrative claims. The primary exposures were immunosuppression regimen and latitude of residence. The primary outcome was incident, de novo KC occurring at least 1-year after LT. Adjusted Cox regression analysis stratified by transplant center was used in all analyses. The cohort was 63.4% male, 70.2% White and with median age 61 years (interquartile range, IQR, 54-66) at transplant. Calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) with anti-metabolite combination was independently associated with incident KC when measured as intention-to-treat (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.21 vs. CNI monotherapy, 95% CI 1.02-1.43, p = 0.026), in a time-updating as-treated analysis (aHR 1.61, 95% CI 1.34-1.93; p < 0.001) and when measured as cumulative exposure (aHR 1.13 per 6-month increase, 95% CI: 1.02-1.33; p = 0.027). More southern latitude of residence was also independently associated with incident KC with an aHR of 1.26 per 5°N decrease towards the Equator (95% CI: 1.08-1.47, p = 0.003). We demonstrate independent effects of CNI with antiM immunosuppression regimen and latitude of residence on the risk of post-LT KC, which will better inform screening practices and immunosuppression management."

Despite favourable prognoses and relatively short treatment trajectories, diagnosis and treatment may significantly impact life post-treatment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to gain an in-depth understanding of stage I and II melanoma survivors' experiences resuming life after treatment and their associated survivorship care (SSC) needs. A qualitative focus group study was conducted with 18 stage I or II melanoma survivors, divided over three focus groups with 6 survivors each. Transcripts were analysed through thorough thematic content analysis, using multiple phases of coding. In resuming life, survivors experienced profound initial impacts of disease and treatment, fed by a perceived lack of knowledge and underestimation of melanoma. They faced unexpected physical and emotional effects post-surgery, experiencing mixed feelings from relief to fear and uncertainty. Survivors felt misunderstood, had to adjust their lives, and managed personal and external expectations while experiencing a positive shift in life perspective, leading to a notable difference in life before and after cancer. In terms of SSC needs, survivors stressed the need for tailored information, accessible resources, patient-centered follow-up, and supportive care addressing the total impact of disease and treatment. These findings highlight the importance of improving melanoma awareness and providing holistic SSC not only to advanced, but also to localised melanoma survivors.

The most common route is lymphatic, while hematogenous spread is less frequent. The most common site for metastases is the skin itself, although they can also occur in other organs, including the digestive tract, where the small intestine is the most frequently affected organ (2). We present the case of a 48-year-old woman with a history of superficial spreading melanoma of the cervical region, surgically treated 7 years prior and in remission, who presented with painless jaundice of 48 hours duration, without fever or other infectious focus. Upon arrival at the Emergency Department, she had a direct bilirubin of 7.9 mg/dL and a CRP of 140 mg/L. An abdominal ultrasound was performed, revealing biliary tract dilation without apparent cause, with secondary, apparently tumoral involvement of the gallbladder. During hospitalization, the study was completed with an abdominal CT scan, visualizing hyperdense lesions with a polypoid appearance in the gallbladder, in addition to the aforementioned intra- and extrahepatic biliary tract dilation. The cause was then identified as a hyperdense mass in the duodenum affecting the papilla, along with two other small hypervascular polypoid lesions in the second portion of the duodenum. With these findings, an ERCP was performed, revealing a papilla with a ""pregnant"" appearance, compatible with ampulloma, in addition to duodenal pseudopolyps of nonspecific appearance. The anatomopathological analysis was compatible with duodenal metastases from melanoma. Melanoma is the cancer with the highest mortality rate, and the gastrointestinal tract is a typical location for metastases, only surpassed by the skin itself and the lungs, especially the small intestine, although not the duodenum, where they are found in only 12% of cases (4). In this case, the diagnosis was complicated by the endoscopic appearance of the lesion, as the characteristic features are pigmented, blackish lesions typical of melanoma. As seen in the image, these lesions had an erythematous and pseudo-inflammatory appearance, so for diagnosis and treatment, it was essential to consider the history of the disease to perform an adequate anatomopathological diagnosis."

In this study, we prepared an electrospun nanofibrous scaffold incorporating 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and etoposide (ETP) for chemotherapy targeting melanoma cutaneous cancer. The scaffold was composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan (CS), prepared via the electrospinning process and loaded with the chemotherapeutic agents. We conducted relevant physicochemical characterizations, assessed cytotoxicity, and evaluated apoptosis against melanoma A375 cells. The prepared 5-FU/ETP co-loaded PVA/CS scaffold exhibited nanofibers (NFs) with an average diameter of 321 ± 61 nm, defect-free and homogenous morphology. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed successful incorporation of chemotherapeutics into the scaffold. Additionally, the scaffold demonstrated a hydrophilic surface, proper mechanical strength, high porosity, and efficient liquid absorption capacity. Notably, sustained and controlled drug release was observed from the nanofibrous scaffold. Furthermore, the scaffold significantly increased cytotoxicity (95%) and apoptosis (74%) in A375 melanoma cells.

Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) were carried out to characterize this new copper complex. Notably, the presence of a papilloma (skin tumor) was confirmed by histopathological analysis. Subsequent investigation included the quantification of proteasome levels using a sandwich ELISA test, and the catalytic activity of the 20S proteasome was determined by measuring the fluorescence emitted after the cleavage of 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC). Hence, X-ray crystallography indicates that all Cu atoms are five-coordinated in a square-pyramidal configuration and biological activity of copper Schiff base complex, which exhibits high proteasome inhibitory activities with particular selectivity of β5 subunit. The pharmacokinetic properties (ADMET) of the copper complex named Cu(L1) showed encouraging results with very low toxicity, distribution, and absorption. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) information obtained from Cu(L1) demonstrated its selectivity and potent inhibition for β5 subunit. In this regard, this copper complex has emerged as a novel therapy for skin cancer."

+1455,skin cancer,39321513,Molecular biological mechanisms of radiotherapy-induced skin injury occurrence and treatment.,"Radiotherapy-Induced Skin Injury (RISI) is radiation damage to normal skin tissue that primarily occurs during tumor Radiotherapy and occupational exposure. The risk of RISI is high due to the fact that the skin is not only the first body organ that ionizing radiation comes into contact with, but it is also highly sensitive to it, especially the basal cell layer and capillaries. Typical clinical manifestations of RISI include erythema, dry desquamation, moist desquamation, and ulcers, which have been established to significantly impact patient care and cancer treatment. Notably, our current understanding of RISI's pathological mechanisms and signaling pathways is inadequate, and no standard treatments have been established. Radiation-induced oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, fibrosis, apoptosis, and cellular senescence are among the known mechanisms that interact and promote disease progression. Additionally, radiation can damage all cellular components and induce genetic and epigenetic changes, which play a crucial role in the occurrence and progression of skin injury. A deeper understanding of these mechanisms and pathways is crucial for exploring the potential therapeutic targets for RISI. Therefore, in this review, we summarize the key mechanisms and potential treatment methods for RISI, offering a reference for future research and development of treatment strategies."

+1457,skin cancer,39321036,The role of wide local excision of a primary lesion in cutaneous malignant melanoma: a retrospective analysis of its usefulness in local and general control of disease.,"Currently, wide local excision is recommended after the primary excision of cutaneous melanomas. The definition of margins for wide local excision indicated by the guidelines has remained unchanged over the years, although the reported indications are derived from fairly dated studies in which melanomas tended to be thicker or in advanced stages at diagnosis. This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the usefulness of wide local excision for local and general control of the disease and to identify patients who had benefited from the wide local excision procedure in terms of prognosis improvement. This retrospective observational study was conducted on patients who had undergone surgery for melanoma at a single institution. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival after wide local excision in patients with or without residual melanoma. The secondary endpoint was to evaluate which patients' demographic features and melanoma histological data were associated with residual melanoma after wide local excision. In the univariate model, melanoma-positive wide local excision resulted in the worst progression-free survival; however, this association was not confirmed in the multivariate model. The results also showed that Breslow thickness was the only factor associated with an increased risk of metastasis to the wide local excision area. According to the receiver operating characteristic analysis, the optimum cutoff value of Breslow's thickness to predict a tumor-positive wide local excision was 2.31 mm for males and 2.4 mm for females."

Expression of the POU2F3 transcription factor is a marker of tuft cell lineage. However, tuft cell development, differentiation, and proliferation are controlled by the expression of the complex formed by POU2F3 and POU2AF2 or POU2AF3 transcriptional coactivators. A cohort of epithelial (n=6064) and mesenchymal/neuroectodermal (n=2730) tumors was screened for POU2F3 expression by immunohistochemistry. Variable immunoreactivity ranging from diffuse to scattered positive cells was found in ∼12.4% of epithelial and 4.6% of mesenchymal/neuroectodermal tumors. Cases with predominantly diffuse or patchy POU2F3 positivity representing various types of malignant tumors (n=43) were selected for further study, including POU2AF2 immunohistochemistry. Thirteen of 15 tumors with neuroendocrine differentiation originating from the lung, colon, head and neck, skin, and bladder revealed diffuse POU2F3 positivity. Most of those tumors (n=9) co-expressed POU2AF2, usually extensively. Seven squamous and basal cell carcinomas from the oral cavity, skin, lung, and thymus with diffuse POU2F3 immunostaining except one, lacked POU2AF2 expression. Other variably POU2F3-positive carcinomas (n=13) from the colon, pancreas, liver, kidney, testis, endometrium, ovary, and breast lacked POU2AF2 immunoreactivity. All POU2F3-positive mesenchymal and neuroectodermal tumors (n=8), including synovial sarcoma, solitary fibrous tumor, glioblastoma, Wilms tumor, and melanoma were POU2AF2-negative. POU2F3 expression is a highly sensitive but nonspecific indicator of tuft cell differentiation. Co-expression of POU2F3 and POU2AF2 appears to be a more specific marker, although it may not pinpoint tumors driven by the POU2F3-POU2AF3 complex."

Radiation therapy (RT) is vital in managing these complications by targeting metastatic lesions to ease pain, improve mobility, and reduce the risk of skeletal-related events such as fractures. Evidence supports the effectiveness of RT in pain relief, showing its ability to provide significant palliation and lessen the need for opioid painkillers, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life (QoL) for patients with BM. However, optimizing RT outcomes involves considerations such as the choice of radiation technique, dose fractionation schedules, and the integration of supportive care measures to mitigate treatment-related side effects like fatigue and skin reactions. These factors highlight the importance of personalized treatment planning tailored to individual patient needs and tumor characteristics. This mini-review aims to provide comprehensive insights into the multifaceted impacts of RT on pain management and QoL enhancement in BM patients, with implications for refining clinical practices and advancing patient care through the synthesis of findings from various studies."

Flavonoids, a diverse group of naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds abundant in fruits, vegetables, and other plant sources, have received considerable attention for their potential anticancer properties. This review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the current scientific literature on five specific natural flavonoids, namely quercetin, Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), kaempferol, apigenin, and curcumin that have been widely reported in numerous carcinomas and evaluate their effectiveness and mechanisms in fighting different types of cancer. Known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, quercetin has shown promise in inhibiting cancer cells and modulating key signaling pathways. EGCG, a prominent catechin found in green tea, has been extensively studied for its ability to induce apoptosis and inhibit angiogenesis, highlighting its potential as an anticancer agent. Kaempferol has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and has shown anticancer potential by modulating cellular processes involved in tumor development. Apigenin, abundant in parsley and chamomile, has been shown to exert anticancer properties by interrupting the cell cycle and inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. Curcumin has shown several anticancer effects, including inhibiting cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis, and modulating inflammatory pathways. Despite these promising findings, it is essential to recognize the complexity of cancer biology and the need for further research to clarify the precise mechanisms of action of these natural flavonoids and optimize their therapeutic applications. Furthermore, understanding flavonoids' potential synergy and interactions with traditional cancer therapies is paramount for developing effective combinatorial strategies. This review thus aimed to summarize the current knowledge on these natural flavonoids and provide insight into their potential role as an adjunctive or stand-alone therapy in the fight against breast, prostate, colon, lung, skin, ovarian, liver, and pancreatic cancer."

We analyzed two cohorts: 1000 individuals from the general Swedish population and 933 patients who received plaque brachytherapy for uveal melanoma. Using Kaplan-Meier and cumulative incidence analyses, as well as Cox and competing risk regressions, we assessed whether there is a relationship between sex and cataract surgery. In the general population, female sex was a significant risk factor for cataract surgery, with a 10-year incidence of 16% compared to 10% for males (subdistribution hazard ratio adjusted for age, 1.35, P < 0.001). In the brachytherapy cohort, female sex was not associated with an increased incidence of cataract surgery, with a 10-year incidence of 25% versus 23% for males (HR 1.08, P = 0.61). Visual acuity at the time of cataract surgery did not significantly differ between sexes in either cohort, suggesting that differences in surgery rates are not due to health-seeking behavior or surgery assessment thresholds. These findings indicate that female sex is associated with a higher risk of cataract surgery in the general population, but not among those treated with plaque brachytherapy for uveal melanoma."

Rarely, extracutaneous localizations occur; the genetic drivers of this clinical variant of JXG remain incompletely characterized. We present detailed clinicopathologic and molecular data of 16 children with extracutaneous JXG and 5 adults with xanthogranulomas confined to the central nervous system (CNS) or soft tissue. Tissue samples were obtained through the Dutch Nationwide Pathology Databank and analyzed with an innovative sequencing technique capable of detecting both small genomic variants and gene rearrangements. Targetable kinase alterations were detected in 16/16 children and 1/5 adults. Alterations included CLTC::SYK fusions in 6 children and CSF1R mutations in 7 others - all below 2 years old with soft tissue tumors. One child had a CSF1R mutation and MRC1::PDGFRB fusion. Most were treated surgically, although spontaneous regression occurred in 1/6 with CLTC::SYK and 2/7 with CSF1R mutations - underscoring that treatment is not always necessary. Tumors with CLTC::SYK fusions generally lacked Touton giant cells, but exhibited many other histologic features of JXG and concordant methylation profiles. Using multispectral immunofluorescence, phosphorylated-SYK expression was localized to CD163+ histiocytes; tumors with CLTC::SYK fusions also demonstrated mTOR activation, Cyclin D1 expression, and variable phosphorylated-ERK expression. BRAFV600E was detected in 1 child and 1 adult with CNS xanthogranulomas; both responded to BRAF inhibition. Finally, a TPM3::NTRK1 fusion or MAP2K1 deletion were detected in 2 children with systemic JXG who experienced spontaneous disease regression.

Melanoma cells have the ability to affect non-tumour cells in the microenvironment by releasing extracellular vesicles (EVs). The mechanisms responsible for reprogramming normal dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs) into CAFs remain incompletely understood. However, it is likely thought to be mediated by melanoma-specific miRNAs, which are transported by EVs derived from melanoma cells. Therefore, we wondered if one of the most enriched miRNAs in EVs secreted by melanoma cells, miR-92b-3p, is involved in the conversion of normal fibroblasts into CAFs. We observed that melanoma cell-derived EVs indeed delivered miR-92b-3p into NHDFs and that its accumulation correlated with CAF formation, as demonstrated by enhanced expression of CAF marker genes and increased proliferation and migration. Overexpression of miR-92b-3p in NHDFs revealed similar results, while EVs deficient of miR-92b-3p did not induce a CAF phenotype. As a target we identified PTEN, whose repression led to increased expression of CAF markers. We thus provide a novel pathway of intercellular communication by which melanoma cells control the transformation of CAFs by virtue of EV-transported miRNAs."

The Finnish NF1 cohort encompasses all individuals with verified NF1 who have visited the Finnish central and university hospitals in 1987-2011. The Finnish Care Register for Health Care allowed the follow-up of 1349 individuals with NF1, their 1894 siblings without NF1, and 13,870 matched controls for diagnoses related to oral infections in 1998-2014. We observed clearly increased hazards for hospital visits associated with dental caries (ICD-10 K02; NF1 vs. controls, hazard ratio [HR] 4.42, 95% CI 3.23-6.04), diseases of pulp and periapical tissues (K04; HR 3.85, 95% CI 2.68-5.54), and gingivitis and periodontal diseases (K05; HR 3.63, 95% CI 2.37-5.56). In contrast, hospital visits related to diseases of salivary glands (K11), and stomatitis and related lesions (K12) did not show significantly increased hazard in NF1 compared with the controls or the non-NF1 siblings. In conclusion, the findings suggest that hospital visits related to oral infections are relatively common among individuals with NF1. The results highlight the need for early detection, proactive prevention, and timely treatment of oral infections in individuals with NF1."

Bio-morphological features, such as vasculature, seen in these images are patient-specific signatures that can be used for verification of positioning and motion management that are essential to precise RT treatment. However until now, no concerted analysis of this biological feature-based tracking was utilized because of the slow speed and accuracy of conventional image processing for feature segmentation. This study demonstrated the first deep learning framework for such an application, achieving video frame rate processing. To address the challenge of limited annotation of these features in Cherenkov images, a transfer learning strategy was applied. A fundus photography dataset including 20,529 patch retina images with ground-truth vessel annotation was used to pre-train a ResNet segmentation framework. Subsequently, a small Cherenkov dataset (1,483 images from 212 treatment fractions of 19 breast cancer patients) with known annotated vasculature masks was used to fine-tune the model for accurate segmentation prediction. This deep learning framework achieved consistent and rapid segmentation of Cherenkov-imaged bio-morphological features on another 19 patients, including subcutaneous veins, scars, and pigmented skin. Average segmentation by the model achieved Dice score of 0.85 and required less than 0.7 milliseconds processing time per instance.

However, the skin's natural barrier, particularly the stratum corneum, limits the effectiveness of TDDS for high molecular weight and hydrophilic substances. Innovations in material science, particularly hybrid nanophotonic graphene systems, present promising solutions. Nanophotonics generate localized photothermal effects to create microchannels in the skin, while graphene enhances permeability through its electrical and thermal conductivity. Hybrid nanophotonic systems, such as photonic crystals, plasmonic nanoparticles, metamaterials, quantum dots, nanowires, fiber optic nanosensors, and nanoantennas, offer precise control and real-time monitoring for applications in cancer therapy, chronic pain management, targeted drug delivery, and personalized medicine. This perspective examines the design, effectiveness, biocompatibility, and clinical implications of these hybrid systems, highlighting their potential to expand transdermal drug delivery and revolutionize treatment in personalized medicine. This particular formulation holds patentability, as supported by product patents that highlight the advancements in hybrid nanophotonic graphene systems for transdermal drug delivery."

+1498,skin cancer,39312988,The promotion of cell proliferation and invasion in cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas after ARNT downregulation is associated with CXCL3.,"The aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT) is a transcription factor associated with adaptive responses to cellular stress. Its role in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) remains poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of ARNT in cSCC. Immunohistochemistry revealed downregulation of ARNT in cSCC, precancerous lesions (actinic keratosis), and cells. Knockdown of ARNT in A431 and SCL-1 cells significantly enhanced cell growth and metastasis. Microarray analysis and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis confirmed that loss of ARNT in A431 cells was highly correlated with cell growth and movement and upregulated CXCL3 expression. Cellular and xenograft experiments further confirmed that ARNT regulates cSCC proliferation and invasiveness in a CXCL3-dependent manner. ARNT may regulate CXCL3 expression through ROS-STAT3 pathway. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that ARNT plays a critical role in the development of cSCC and significantly affects the proliferation and metastatic ability of cSCC cells. It has the potential to serve as an ideal treatment target for cSCC."

In order to assist clinicians' decisions, a risk intervention technology was developed, which combines a dual-mode machine learning of visual and sonified (pixel to sound) data. The addition of an audio technology enhances malignant features of lesions, increases sensitivity and was previously validated under a prospective clinical setting in FS. In dark skin (DS), although rare by a 10-30 factor, skin cancer is diagnosed at more advanced stages resulting in a delayed diagnosis and affecting life quality and expectancy. It is known as well that SC diagnostic accuracy by machine learning in DS is decreased as compared to FS.

+1500,skin cancer,39312452,Epigenetics of Dietary Phytochemicals in Cancer Prevention: Fact or Fiction.,"Cancer development takes 10 to 50 years, and epigenetics plays an important role. Recent evidence suggests that ~80% of human cancers are linked to environmental factors impinging upon genetics/epigenetics. Because advanced metastasized cancers are resistant to radiation/chemotherapeutic drugs, cancer prevention by relatively nontoxic ""epigenetic modifiers"" will be logical. Many dietary phytochemicals possess powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that are hallmarks of cancer prevention. Dietary phytochemicals can regulate gene expression of the cellular genome via epigenetic mechanisms. In this review, we will summarize preclinical studies that demonstrate epigenetic mechanisms of dietary phytochemicals in skin, colorectal, and prostate cancer prevention. Key examples of the importance of epigenetic regulation in carcinogenesis include hypermethylation of the NRF2 promoter region in cancer cells, resulting in inhibition of NRF2-ARE signaling. Many dietary phytochemicals demethylate NRF2 promoter region and restore NRF2 signaling. Phytochemicals can also inhibit inflammatory responses via hypermethylation of inflammation-relevant genes to block gene expression. Altogether, dietary phytochemicals are excellent candidates for cancer prevention due to their low toxicity, potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and powerful epigenetic effects in reversing procarcinogenic events."
+1501,skin cancer,39312365,Can alterations in cathepsin levels restrain the development of skin cancer?: A bidirectional multivariate Mendelian-randomization study.,"Malignant skin tumors mainly include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma. There is currently observational research suggesting that changes in cathepsin (CTS) may be a factor in the development of malignant skin tumors, but no studies have yet demonstrated a causal relationship between tissue protease changes and the occurrence of malignant skin tumors. Current studies have shown that cathepsin is involved in tumor cell invasion and metastasis by regulating growth factors and cellular immune function in tumor microenvironment, decomposing extracellular matrix and basement membrane, and promoting angiogenesis. In this study, we conducted a bidirectional Mendelian-randomization study using publicly available genome-wide association study (GWAS; GWAS Catalog) data. This study applies a bidirectional multivariate Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to investigate the causal relationship between cathepsin, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma. In cases where multiple cathepsins are implicated as etiological factors in certain diseases, a multivariable analysis is conducted to assess the direct and indirect causal effects of the exposure factors. In this study, we present a comprehensive MR analysis to investigate the relationship between 9 cathepsin and basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma. Based on our MR analysis using the largest GWAS Catalog dataset available, we are able to draw relatively reliable conclusions. In the MR study, we found that tissue protease L2 can promote skin cancer, Cathepsin O, and Cathepsin F are associated with an increased risk of basal cell carcinoma. Cathepsin H can inhibit basal cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma. In the reverse MR study, it was found that squamous cell carcinoma may cause an increase in Cathepsin O expression. In the multivariate analysis, it was found that Cathepsin H is a direct factor in reducing the occurrence of skin cancer and melanoma, with no apparent causal relationship to non-melanoma skin cancer. Cathepsin has a dual impact on skin cancer cells, and the expression of different cathepsins at the edge of skin tumors may indicate different developmental tendencies of skin cancer. Cathepsin may serve as effective biomarkers for predicting tumors."

In contrast to cutaneous melanoma, there is only a limited effectiveness of combined immune checkpoint therapies, and half of patients with uveal melanoma metastases succumb to disease within 2 years. This study aimed to provide a path toward enhancing immunotherapy efficacy by identifying and functionally validating tumor-reactive T cells in liver metastases of patients with UM. We employed single-cell RNA-seq of biopsies and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) to identify potential tumor-reactive T cells. Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of UM metastases were created from patients, and tumor sphere cultures were generated from these models for co-culture with autologous or MART1-specific HLA-matched allogenic TILs. Activated T cells were subjected to TCR-seq, and the TCRs were matched to those found in single-cell sequencing data from biopsies, expanded TILs, and in livers or spleens of PDX models injected with TILs. Our findings revealed that tumor-reactive T cells resided not only among activated and exhausted subsets of T cells, but also in a subset of cytotoxic effector cells. In conclusion, combining single-cell sequencing and functional analysis provides valuable insights into which T cells in UM may be useful for cell therapy amplification and marker selection."

While traditional two- and three-dimensional models can offer insights into cancer development and progression, these lack crucial aspects that hinder a faithful mimic of native tumors. An alternative model that has gained a lot of attention is the patient-derived organoid. The development of these organoids recapitulates the complex intercellular communication, tumor microenvironment, and histoarchitecture of tumors. This paper describes the protocol for establishing melanoma patient-derived organoid (MPDO) models. To validate these models, we assessed the immune cell composition, including the expression levels of T-cell activation markers, to confirm the cellular heterogeneity of the organoids. Additionally, to describe the potential utility of MPDOs in cellular therapies, we evaluated the cytotoxic capabilities of treating the organoids with γδ T-cells. In conclusion, the MPDO models offer promising avenues for understanding tumor complexity, validating therapeutic strategies, and potentially advancing personalized treatment."

Also, we mapped the above data to all the biologically functional interaction sequences of the LAMC1. Five kinases (CKII, GPCRK1, PKA, PKC, and CKI) are most enriched for LAMC1 phosphorylation, and the significance of ecto-kinases in this process was emphasized. PKA and PKC targeted more residues inside and close to functional interaction sequences compared with other kinases and in the functional interaction sequence RPESFAIYKRTR. Most phosphorylation-interfering mutations were found in cutaneous melanoma and uterine endometrioid carcinoma. The mutation R255H interfered with the experimentally observed phosphorylation of LAMC1 inside the functional interaction sequence TDIRVTLNRLNTF, while the mutations S181Y and S213Y interfered with the experimentally observed phosphorylation of LAMC1 outside the functional interaction sequences. Mutations R359C,H, R589H, R657C,H, R663I,G, and T1207 interfered with the predicted phosphorylation inside or close to the functional interaction sequences, whereas other mutations interfered outside.

In cases with extensive abdominal wall involvement, it is especially important to secure adequate margins and repair abdominal wall defects. Recently, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for LACC has shown promise in improving the chance of cure with tumor shrinkage. Herein, we report a case of curative surgery after NAC for locally advanced sigmoid colon cancer with extensive abdominal wall invasion. A 50-year-old woman visited our hospital with anemia and an abdominal mass. The diagnosis was LACC of the sigmoid colon with abdominal wall invasion (maximum size, 12 cm), and the clinical stage was stage IIIc (T4b[skin]N1bM0). Resection of the involved skin was expected to cause an extensive abdominal wall defect. At first, a colostomy was performed, followed by NAC with leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX). Ten cycles of chemotherapy were completed without severe adverse events, and the tumor shrank in size by approximately 39%. We performed a curative sigmoidectomy combined with abdominal wall resection with adequate margins. We reconstructed the abdominal wall defect using a left anterolateral thigh skin flap. Pathological examination revealed mucinous carcinoma involving the transverse colon and abdominal wall, with luminal narrowing in the sigmoid colon. The surgical margins were negative, and the tumor was considered to have had a pathological partial response to NAC. Herein, we report a rare case of curative surgery after NAC with FOLFOX for LACC in the sigmoid colon with extensive invasion of the abdominal wall. We reconstructed the extensive abdominal wall defect with a free anterolateral thigh flap. One of the optional treatment strategies for LACC with extensive abdominal wall invasion was reported in our report."

This review examines the role of AI in skin lesion diagnostics, highlighting two main approaches: machine learning, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and expert systems. AI techniques have demonstrated high accuracy in classifying dermoscopic images, often matching or surpassing dermatologists' performance. Integrating AI into dermatology has improved tasks, such as lesion classification, segmentation, and risk prediction, facilitating earlier and more accurate interventions. Despite these advancements, challenges remain, including biases in training data, interpretability issues, and integration of AI into clinical workflows. Ensuring diverse data representation and maintaining high standards of image quality are essential for reliable AI performance.

This superfamily is characterized by the presence of LU domains. It has demonstrated its emerging significance in various cancers including adenocarcinoma, bladder cancer, ovarian cancer and skin cancer. However, comprehensive pan-cancer analyses have not been conducted to investigate its role in diagnosis, prognosis and immunological prediction. By conducting comprehensive analysis of patient data obtained from publicly available databases, including The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx), University of Alabama at Birmingham (UALCAN), The Comparative Toxicological Genomics Database (CTD), cBioportal, cancerSEA, and UCSC, we systematically investigated the differential expression of LY6H in 33 different types of human tumors. Additionally, we thoroughly analyzed the diagnostic, prognostic, and immunoinfiltration value of LY6H. Simultaneously, we examined the correlation between LY6H and tumor stemness, methylation patterns, drug sensitivity, gene alterations as well as single cell functions. Furthermore, protein-protein interaction networks and gene-gene interaction networks for LY6H were constructed. Moreover, we also explored the network relationship between LY6H and chemical compounds or genes. The results revealed that LY6H exhibited high expression levels in most cancers which were further validated through Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis using Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) samples. Moreover, LY6H displayed early diagnostic potential in 12 tumors while also showing positive or negative correlations with prognosis across different tumor types. Additionally, it was found that LY6H played a pivotal role in regulating immune-infiltrating cells across multiple cancers whereas the correlation between LY6H expression and immune-related genes varied depending on their specific types. Furthermore, the expression of LY6H was significantly associated with DNA methylation patterns in 21 cancers. Therefore, LY6H could serve as an adjunctive biomarker for early tumor detection as well as a prognostic indicator for diverse malignancies."

However, extensive research and bioinformatic analysis conducted in this study have unveiled the formidable challenge posed by melanoma-intrinsic β-catenin signaling, which hinders the infiltration of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) and their subsequent anti-tumour action. To overcome this obstacle, a β-catenin antagonist called carnosic acid (CA) was co-assembled with a RADA-rich peptide to create a nanonet-derived hydrogel known as Supra-gelδCA. This injectable hydrogel is designed to be retained at the surgical site while simultaneously promoting hemostasis. Importantly, Supra-gelδCA directly releases CA to the site of residual tumour lesions, thereby enhancing infiltration of CTLs and subsequently activating adaptive immunity. Consequently, it effectively suppresses postoperative recurrence of skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) in vivo. Collectively, the presented Supra-gelδCA not only provides an efficacious immunotherapy strategy for regulating adaptive immunity by overcoming the obstacle posed by melanoma-intrinsic β-catenin signaling-induced absence of CTLs but also offers a clinically translatable hydrogel that revolutionizes post-surgical management of SKCM."

Recent evidence has shown that deep learning (DL) can assist pathologists in cancer classification, but this field is largely unexplored for cutaneous lymphomas. This study evaluates DL in distinguishing early-stage MF from benign inflammatory dermatoses using a unique dataset of 924 H&E-stained whole-slide images from skin biopsies, including 233 patients with early-stage MF and 353 patients with benign inflammatory dermatoses. All patients with MF were diagnosed after clinicopathological correlation. The classification accuracy of weakly supervised DL models was benchmarked against 3 expert pathologists. The highest performance on a temporal test set was at ×200 magnification (0.50 μm per pixel resolution), with a mean area under the curve of 0.827 ± 0.044 and a mean balanced accuracy of 76.2 ± 3.9%. This nearly matched the 77.7% mean balanced accuracy of the 3 expert pathologists. Most (63.5%) attention heatmaps corresponded well with the pathologists' region of interest. Considering the difficulty of the MF versus benign inflammatory dermatoses classification task, the results of this study show promise for future applications of weakly supervised DL in diagnosing early-stage MF. Achieving clinical-grade performance will require larger multi-institutional datasets and improved methodologies, such as multimodal DL with incorporation of clinical data."

+1543,skin cancer,39297440,Intravital microscopic thermometry of rat mammary epithelium by fluorescent nanodiamond.,"Quantum sensing using the fluorescent nanodiamond (FND) nitrogen-vacancy center enables physical/chemical measurements of the microenvironment, although application of such measurements in living mammals poses significant challenges due to the unknown biodistribution and toxicity of FNDs, the limited penetration of visible light for quantum state manipulation/measurement, and interference from physiological motion. Here, we describe a microenvironmental thermometry technique using FNDs in rat mammary epithelium, an important model for mammary gland biology and breast cancer research. FNDs were injected directly into the mammary gland. Microscopic observation of mammary tissue sections showed that most FNDs remained in the mammary epithelium for at least 8 weeks. Pathological examination indicated no obvious change in tissue morphology, suggesting negligible toxicity. Optical excitation and detection were performed through a skin incision. Periodic movements due to respiration and heartbeat were mitigated by frequency filtering of the signal. Based on these methods, we successfully detected temperature elevation in the mammary epithelium associated with lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation, demonstrating the sensitivity and relevance of the technique in biological contexts. This study lays the groundwork for expanding the applicability of quantum sensing in biomedical research, providing a tool for real-time monitoring of physiological and pathological processes."

This study investigates how ELK4 and CHMP6 regulate skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) cell proliferation and ferroptosis. Analysis of TCGA data reveals high expression of ELK4 and CHMP6 in SKCM. Overexpression of ELK4 or CHMP6 enhances cell proliferation, invasion, and migration while reducing ROS and Fe2 + levels. It also increases GPX4 and xCT expression and decreases ACSL4 levels in SKCM cells. The opposite effects are observed with ELK4 or CHMP6 knockdown. ELK4 binds to the CHMP6 promoter, promoting CHMP6 transcription. Knockdown of CHMP6 reverses the oncogenic effects of ELK4 overexpression. In conclusion, ELK4 enhances proliferation, invasion, and migration while inhibiting ferroptosis in SKCM cells by upregulating CHMP6 transcription. This study sheds light on the intricate mechanisms involved in SKCM progression and identifies potential therapeutic targets in melanoma treatment."

There exist numerous common etiologies for NF, yet NF induced by malignant neoplasms is exceedingly rare. Several studies have reported that NF may be associated with tumor site (rectal/sigmoid colon cancer) and blood supply dysfunction caused by targeted therapy drugs (bevacizumab, aflibercept, ramucirumab). The perforation of colorectal cancer poses a unique risk factor for NF. However, in our two cases, the patient with rectal cancer received CapeOX (oxaliplatin + capecitabine) + bevacizumab + tislelizumab for 3 cycles without perforation but did develop NF. One month after debridement, the patient continued immunotherapy with tislelizumab alone for the fourth cycle and maintained for an additional 3 cycles without any recurrence of NF. Therefore, does the occurrence of NF correlate with the tumor site (rectum) and targeted immunotherapy? Another patient with hepatocellular carcinoma also developed NF after receiving 2 cycles of lenvatinib + sintilimab treatment. The third cycle of sintilimab immunotherapy was administered on the 13th day after operation, which was subsequently maintained for an additional 2 cycles without recurrence of NF. The absence of a direct correlation between hepatocellular carcinoma and rectal tumor location as well as immunotherapy, suggests that NF may be closely linked to targeted therapy."

There are increasing evidences that tyrosinase plays a relevant role in the formation and progression of melanoma, a difficult to treat skin tumor. Hydroquinone, azelaic acid and tretinoin (all-trans-retinoic acid) are clinically used in the management of some hyperpigmentations, whereas many novel chemotypes acting as tyrosinase inhibitors with potential antimelanoma action are being investigated. Kojic acid, hydroquinone, its glycosylated derivative arbutin, or the resorcinol derivative rucinol are used in cosmesis in creams as skin whitening agents, whereas no antimelanoma tyrosinase inhibitor reached clinical trials so far, although thiamidol is a recently approved new tyrosinase inhibitor for the treatment of melasma. Kojic acid and vitamin C are used for avoiding vegetable/food oxidative browning due to the tyrosinase-catalyzed reactions, whereas bacterial enzymes show potential in biotechnological applications, for the production of mixed melanins, for protein cross-linking reactions, for producing phenol(s) biosensors, of for the production of L-DOPA, an anti-Parkinson's disease drug."
+1552,skin cancer,39304288,Bacterial tyrosinases and their inhibitors.,"Bacterial tyrosinase is a copper-containing metalloenzyme with diverse physio-chemical properties, that have been identified in various bacterial strains, including actinobacteria and proteobacteria. Tyrosinases are responsible for the rate-limiting catalytic steps in melanin biosynthesis and enzymatic browning. The physiological role of bacterial tyrosinases in melanin biosynthesis has been harnessed for the production of coloring and dyeing agents. Additionally, bacterial tyrosinases have the capability of cross-linking activity, demonstrated material functionalization applications, and applications in food processing with varying substrate specificities and stability features. These characteristics make bacterial tyrosinases a valuable alternative to well-studied mushroom tyrosinases. The key feature of substrate specificity of bacterial tyrosinase has been exploited to engineer biosensors that have the ability to detect the minimal amount of different phenolic compounds. Today, the world is facing the challenge of multi-drugs resistance in various diseases, especially antibiotic resistance, skin cancer, enzymatic browning of fruits and vegetables, and melanogenesis. To address these challenges, medicinal scientists are developing novel chemotherapeutic agents by inhibiting bacterial tyrosinases. To serve this purpose, heterocyclic compounds are of particular interest due to their vast spectrum of biological activities and their potential as effective tyrosinase inhibitors. In this chapter, a plethora of research explores applications of bacterial tyrosinases in different fields, such as the production of dyes and pigments, catalytic applications in organic synthesis, bioremediation, food and feed applications, biosensors, wool fiber coating and the rationalized synthesis, and structure-activity relationship of bacterial tyrosinase inhibitors."

The location, size, and number of CMN may be of cosmetic concern with significant psychosocial implications. They may also be associated with symptoms such as pruritus, eczema and/or xerosis, and skin fragility; however, the most medically concerning issue is the association of CMN with the risk of developing cutaneous melanoma, extracutaneous melanoma, and neurocutaneous melanocytosis. Patients with CMN are currently risk-stratified based on the projected adult maximum diameter of the largest CMN and the number of CMN (satellites) present. In small and medium CMN, the absolute risk of developing cutaneous melanoma is estimated to be approximately 0.3% with a relative risk of 9.5. Although patients with large CMN are at increased risk for developing primary cutaneous melanoma within the CMN, they are also at increased risk for developing primary melanoma within the central nervous system in association with central nervous system melanocytic deposits, an entity known as neurocutaneous melanocytosis. The absolute risk for developing melanoma in patients with large CMN is estimated to be between 1.25% and 10% with a relative risk between 52 and 1,046. Regarding the risk for the presence of neurocutaneous melanocytosis, the risk correlates with the number of CMN, with the lowest risk in those with a single CMN and with risk escalation as the number of CMN increases. We provide an overview of the existing evidence about the risk of melanoma and neurocutaneous melanocytosis in patients with CMN. The role of clinical examination, dermatoscopy, magnetic resonance imaging scanning of the central nervous system, and the role of surgery in the management of CMN of varying sizes is discussed."

We aimed to examine the effectiveness of a novel procedure for reconstructing the skin-tarsoligamentous sling of the lower eyelid. We included 37 patients who underwent anterior lamellar reconstruction with a cheek rotation flap for full-thickness lower eyelid defect. They were divided into two groups: Group A included 19 patients who underwent tarsoligamentous sling reconstruction with a fascia lata strip and buccal mucosa grafting, and Group B comprised 18 patients who underwent skin-tarsoligamentous sling reconstruction using an additional combination of a periosteal flap and de-epithelialized triangular flap at the lateral canthal region, representing our novel approach. To evaluate the severity of postoperative deformities, we used the drooping index, the ratio of drooping compared to the healthy side, along with the angular difference in canthal tilt, obtained between the reconstructed and healthy sides, using photographs taken ≥6 months post-reconstruction. Group B demonstrated superior outcomes, with mean drooping indices of 1.13 compared to 1.33 in Group A (P = 0.031) and mean angular differences in canthal tilt of -0.73° compared to -2.45° in Group A (P = 0.021).

A 14-year-old female table-tennis player presented with a right knee mass diagnosed as angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma. Following resection of the mass, which left a 6.5 × 5.5 cm soft tissue defect over the patella, a free SCIP flap was harvested and used for reconstruction. The SCIP flap was chosen for its thinness and flexibility, making it suitable for the highly mobile knee joint. The superficial circumflex iliac artery (1.2 mm) was anastomosed to the DGA (1.5 mm) in an end-to-end fashion. The flap and deepithelialized skin paddle were routed through a subcutaneous tunnel, and the donor site was closed directly over a drain. The flap survived completely with no postoperative complications. Six months later, despite hyperpigmentation of the scar, the contour was satisfactory with no limitations in knee range of motion. This case underscores the advantages of the SCIP flap, particularly its compatibility with the DGA, reduced donor site morbidity, and excellent aesthetic and functional outcomes. The SCIP flap, combined with the DGA as the recipient vessel, provides an effective solution for complex knee reconstructions, offering a primary option for similar cases."

The anti-cancer activity of tetracaine was found to be the most effective among commonly used local anesthetics in this study. After tetracaine treatment, the differentially expressed genes in melanoma cells were identified by the RNAseq technique and enriched in the lysosome signaling pathway, cullin family protein binding, and proteasome signaling pathway through Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. Additionally, the ubiquitin-like neddylation signaling pathway, which is hyperactivated in melanoma, could be abrogated due to decreased NAE2 expression after tetracaine treatment. The neddylation of the pro-oncogenic Survivin, which enhances its stability, was significantly reduced following treatment with tetracaine. The activation of neddylation signaling by NEDD8 overexpression could reduce the antitumor efficacy of tetracaine in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, vemurafenib-resistant melanoma cells showed higher level of neddylation, and potential substrate proteins undergoing neddylation modification were identified through immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry. The tetracaine treatment could reduce drug resistance via neddylation signaling pathway inactivation in melanoma cells. These findings demonstrate that tetracaine effectively inhibits cell proliferation and alleviates vemurafenib resistance in melanoma by suppressing the neddylation signaling pathway, providing a promising avenue for controlling cancer progression."
+1567,skin cancer,39303037,Defining metabolic flexibility in hair follicle stem cell induced squamous cell carcinoma.,"We previously showed that inhibition of glycolysis in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)-initiating cells had no effect on tumorigenesis, despite the perceived requirement of the Warburg effect, which was thought to drive carcinogenesis. Instead, these SCCs were metabolically flexible and sustained growth through glutaminolysis, another metabolic process frequently implicated to fuel tumorigenesis in various cancers. Here, we focused on glutaminolysis and genetically blocked this process through glutaminase (GLS) deletion in SCC cells of origin. Genetic deletion of GLS had little effect on tumorigenesis due to the up-regulated lactate consumption and utilization for the TCA cycle, providing further evidence of metabolic flexibility. We went on to show that posttranscriptional regulation of nutrient transporters appears to mediate metabolic flexibility in this SCC model. To define the limits of this flexibility, we genetically blocked both glycolysis and glutaminolysis simultaneously and found the abrogation of both of these carbon utilization pathways was enough to prevent both papilloma and frank carcinoma."

Although the diagnosis of early melanoma is the main goal of dermoscopy, the discrimination between dermoscopic images of in situ and invasive melanomas can be a difficult task even for experienced dermatologists. Recent advances in artificial intelligence in the field of medical image analysis show that its application to dermoscopy with the aim of supporting and providing a second opinion to the medical expert could be of great interest. In this work, four datasets from different sources were used to train and evaluate deep learning models on in situ versus invasive melanoma classification and on Breslow thickness prediction. Supervised learning and semi-supervised learning using a multi-teacher ensemble knowledge distillation approach were considered and evaluated using a stratified 5-fold cross-validation scheme. The best models achieved AUCs of 0.6186 ±0.0410 and of 0.7501 ±0.0674 on the former and latter classification tasks, respectively. The best results were obtained using semi-supervised learning, with the best model achieving 0.7751 and 0.8164 AUC, respectively.

HHT is caused by inheritance of a loss of function mutation in one of three genes. Although individuals with HHT are haploinsufficient for one of these genes throughout their entire body, rather than exhibiting a systemic vascular phenotype, vascular malformations occur as focal lesions in discrete anatomic locations. The inconsistency between genotype and phenotype has provoked debate over whether haploinsufficiency or a different mechanism gives rise to the vascular malformations. We previously showed that HHT-associated skin telangiectases develop by a two-hit mutation mechanism in an HHT gene. However, somatic mutations were identified in only half of the telangiectases, raising the question whether a second-hit somatic mutation is a necessary (required) event in HHT pathogenesis. Here, we show that another mechanism for the second hit is loss of heterozygosity across the chromosome bearing the germline mutation. Secondly, we investigate the two-hit mutation mechanism for internal organ AVMs, the source of much of the morbidity of HHT. Here, we identified somatic molecular genetic events in eight liver telangiectases, including point mutations and a loss of heterozygosity event. We also identified somatic mutations in one pulmonary AVM and two brain AVMs, confirming that mucocutaneous and internal organ vascular malformations undergo the same molecular mechanisms. Together, these data argue that bi-allelic loss of function in an HHT gene is a required event in the pathogenesis of HHT-associated vascular malformations."

The quilting sutures as a newer technique for the skin flap closure is done to reduce incidence of seroma formation. Although it has controversy in the literature for the satisfactory outcome, the study has aimed to compare the Quilting suture technique with the conventional closure method to evaluate the efficacy of the quilting technique. The primary objective of the study was to access and compare the frequency of seroma formation following the quilting suture technique with standard flap closure in MRM. The secondary objectives were to compare drain output, post-operative complications, and the requirement of additional procedures for management of related complications. The 72 female participants in this randomized control trial had modified radical mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer. The quilting suture technique was applied in the 36 patients and conventional technique applied in 36 patients for skin flap closure. The frequency of seroma formation and other complications were reported. Between the two groups, there was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of seroma production (P = 0.233). Total drainage volume (P = 0.213), drainage duration (P = 0.652), and post-operative complications (P = 0.641) did not substantially differ between the two groups. The study concludes that the quilting sutures technique does not decrease the incidence of seroma formation, total drain output, and total duration of drainage. There is no significant difference in complications and requirement of additional procedures compared to the standard technique."

We included 200 patients recruited from a gynecological clinic divided into two groups: 100 patients with positive HPV tests presenting with cutaneous lesions and 100 patients diagnosed with squamous cell cervical carcinoma and testing positive for HPV. The participants were selected to ensure diverse ethnic and demographic representation. The study utilized different statistical analyses, including Chi-square tests to assess associations between categorical variables and logistic regression to evaluate factors influencing lesion progression and compare marker expressions across different lesion types. The results indicated significant differences in the expression of specific molecular markers between cutaneous lesions and cervical carcinomas, highlighting distinct molecular pathways involved in HPV-related lesion development. Notably, markers such as p16, p53, and E-cadherin showed varying expression, suggesting their potential role in distinguishing between benign and malignant lesions. The findings emphasize the significance of molecular marker profiling in improving diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for HPV-related lesions. The differential expression of molecular markers can offer valuable insights into the pathogenesis of HPV-induced lesions and help develop targeted interventions to prevent malignant transformation. Further research is necessary to validate these markers in larger cohorts and diverse populations."

A random selection of 182 cattle and 255 goats from 40 livestock farmers in the district revealed that both animals and humans were naturally exposed to elevated arsenic levels through contaminated drinking water, foods, grasses, concentrate feeds, various fodder tree leaves, and other food/feed resources. The mean As concentration in roughages (483.18 µg/kg DM) was significantly higher (p < 0.001) than in tree leaves (391.53 µg/kg DM), and concentrate feed/ingredients (186.66 µg/kg DM). Pond water exhibited higher arsenic levels (106.11 µg/L) compared to shallow tube well water (47.96 µg/L) and deep tube well water/tap water (10.64 µg/L and 10.04 µg/L, respectively). The mean arsenic concentration in soils DM of fodder fields, crop fields, and grassland was 10.25, 10.58, and 10.20 mg/kg, respectively. It was observed that protein-rich feeds had lower levels of arsenic accumulation (p < 0.048), while fiber-rich feeds containing more cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin had higher arsenic levels (p < 0.017). Goats consumed 73.46% more arsenic per kg body weight compared to dairy cows. Although chronic and sub-chronic arsenic exposure in the district did not typically manifest symptoms or visible signs in ruminant animals, concentrations in the hair and feces of both cattle and goats exceeded normal values. Cattle feces had significantly higher arsenic (410.43 µg/kg DM) levels (p < 0.001) than goat feces (227.00 µg/kg DM), and arsenic concentration in cattle hair (1917.74 µg/kg DM) was also significantly greater (p < 0.001) than goat hair (1435.74 µg/kg DM). Arsenic levels in milk samples from both species were below 10 µg/kg. Liver (356.02 µg/kg DM) and kidney (317.22 µg/kg DM) contained significantly higher (p < 0.001) levels of arsenic compared to muscle (204.23 µg/kg DM), and bone (161.98 µg/kg DM) in local meat-type adult male goats.

The sclerosing variant is characterized by the presence of sclerotic areas in more than 50% of tumors and is rarely reported. In this report, we describe a case of sclerosing DFSP with areas histopathologically resembling sclerotic fibroma, where the initial biopsy tissue presented a diagnostic challenge. A 77-year-old man presented with a 2-cm firm, erythematous nodule on the chest. A punch biopsy revealed plywood-like sclerosis and spindle cells with a vaguely storiform pattern. The tumor cells were positive for CD34. Sclerotic fibroma and DFSP were considered differential diagnoses.

Nevertheless, isolated instances of CD20-positive MF have been documented infrequently. Here, we present a unique case of CD20-positive MF in a 30-year-old man who manifested with a hypopigmented patch on the anterior chest. Histopathological examination revealed epidermotropic infiltrates of small- to medium-sized lymphocytes with hyperchromatic and cerebriform nuclei aligned along the basal and low-mid layers of the epidermis. Immunophenotypic analysis demonstrated neoplastic T cells expressing CD4+, CD8+, and CD3+ with the loss of CD7. Intriguingly, a notable subset of the neoplastic T cells exhibited CD20 expression. This case contributes to the sparse literature on CD20-positive MF and underscores its diagnostic and clinical ramifications. The role of B cells has been more thoroughly characterized in T-cell lymphomas other than MF. However, its significance in MF remains unclear due to the scarcity of reported cases. Some hypotheses propose that the B cells' expression might indicate immune dysregulation or complex interactions within the tumor microenvironment. Another perspective suggests it could signify a progression of the disease towards a more aggressive lymphoma phenotype. Further investigation and documentation of similar cases is imperative to elucidate the clinical features, prognosis, and optimal therapeutic strategies. The long-term prognosis and outcomes in patients with hypopigmented MF and CD20 positivity remain ambiguous, underscoring the necessity for continued research and scrutiny of analogous cases."
+1611,skin cancer,39293575,Reconnoitring signaling pathways and exploiting innovative approaches tailoring multifaceted therapies for skin cancer.,"Nowadays, skin cancer is widespread just like a varied malignant cancer which can cause serious health issues. Skin cancer, which encompasses malignant melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma, is a prevalent form of cancer among humans. Due to its broad prevalence, financial burden, mortality rates, and cosmetic effects, it is a major public health issue. Skin cancer treatment involves surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Recently, personalized treatment in the fields of targeted therapies and precision medicine has been shown to diagnose early detection of every individual tumor by knowing their genetic and molecular characteristics. To target the molecular pathways responsible for tumor growth and reduce the damage to healthy tissue, new targeted therapies have emerged for melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. B-raf serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and precision medications have strong response rates to improve patient survival. Targeted therapeutics like nanocarriers have shown promising results by reducing skin irritation and protecting encapsulated therapeutics. These formulations have been shown to improve the transdermal permeability of anticancer drugs. The consideration of employing physical techniques to enhance the permeation of nanocarriers warrants attention to augment the dermal permeation of anticancer agents and facilitate targeted drug delivery within neoplastic cells. Targeted therapies face obstacles like resistance mechanisms and treatment strategy monitoring. Taken together, this review delves into the basic mechanisms of skin cancer, current treatment methods, drug resistance processes, and nano-based targeted techniques for cancer treatment. It will also delineate the challenges and perspectives in pre-clinical and clinical contexts."

Recently, stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agoinst-mediated innate immunity can activate the STING pathway and further promote dendritic cell (DC) maturation, tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte, and natural killer cell infiltration and has emerged as a promising approach for cancer therapy. Herein, the authors intriduce facile nanoparticles named HTCS, which can co-deliver STING agonist (2'3'-cGAMP) and a mitochondrial targeting modified photosensitizer (TPP-PEI-Ce6). While HTCS were intravenously injected to mice, they were endocytosed into tumor cells through hyaluronic acid-mediated active targeting. Thereafter, TPP-PEI-Ce6 was delivered to mitochondria to generate a large variety of reactive oxygen species and killed tumor cells effectively. Then the tumor cell debris further gave rise to immunogenic cell death, which played a role in immunosuppression. Furthermore, 2'3'-cGAMP contained in cell debris activated the STING pathway to promote the release of inflammatory cytokines and the maturation of DCs. As a consequence, the HTCS could achieve photodynamic multiple immunotherapy for melanoma. This work demonstrates multifunctional nanoparticles that efficiently inhibit tumors by PDT and reversing their immunosuppression to realize a versatile therapeutic strategy."

Cornulin (CRNN) is increasingly recognized as an oncogene involved in developing various types of tumors. However, the precise contribution to cSCC remains unclear. Our study observed a significant increase in CRNN expression in cSCC samples compared to healthy skin. CRNN expression in the SCL-1 cell line derived from cSCC was reduced, leading to a halt in cell growth during the transition from the G1 phase to the S phase. This reduction inhibits cell division, promotes cell death, and decreases cell invasion and migration. CRNN overexpression has been found to enhance cell growth and prevent cells from undergoing natural cell death, and the cancer-promoting effects of CRNN are linked to AKT activation. Using a mouse xenograft model, we demonstrated that the inhibition of CRNN led to a decline in cSCC tumor growth in a living organism, providing evidence of CRNN's involvement in cSCC occurrence and development. This study establishes a foundation for evaluating the effectiveness of CRNN in treating cSCC, enabling further investigation in this area."

Although surgery is an effective treatment for early-stage solid tumors, residual cancer cells can lead to subsequent recurrence or metastasis. Conventional treatments for melanoma, such as anti-tumor medications and gene therapy, have distinct limitations. The rapid systemic distribution of anti-tumor drugs poses a significant challenge, often resulting in notable side effects and inadequate drug concentrations at the tumor site. Melanoma (MM), a deadly form of skin cancer, is known for its high mortality rate.

BCC grow locally, but can invade surrounding tissues. Little is known concerning their impact on the health-related quality of life (HrQoL), and limited available data reports contradicting results. Measuring HrQoL in BCC patients should be done using disease-specific questionnaires such as the Basal and Squamous cell carcinoma Quality of Life (BaSQoL) questionnaire. The aim of this study was to assess the BCC-related HrQoL by examining all relevant patient, tumour and treatment characteristics to identify the main factors for the BCC-related impact. Specific attention for older BCC patients wass brought forward because of the often complex decisions in this subgroup. Patients ≥ 18 years with a history of BCC were asked to fill in the BaSQoL questionnaire, consisting of 5 subdomains. Multivariable analyses were done using a generalized additive model (GAM) because of the need for incorporation of non-linear functions. The study obtained approval of the Ethics Committee of the Ghent University Hospital (EC/2019/1352). Informed consent was obtained from all subjects. All experiments were performed in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations. Four hundred patients with a median age of 66 were enrolled. Mean BaSQoL subscores were 0.78 (SD 0.63) for 'behaviour', 1.01 (SD 0.73) for 'diagnosis&treatment', 0.90 (SD 0.73) for 'worries', 0.40 (SD 0.63) for 'appearance' and 1.20 (SD 0.75) for 'other people', illustrating the low to moderate impact of BCC on the HrQoL. A GAM with subsequent ANOVA testing was done for all relevant variables. In 4 out of 5 BaSQoL subdomains 'age' showed a significant correlation ('behaviour' p = 0.007; 'diagnosis&treatment' p = 0.026; 'worries' p = 0.003; 'appearance' p = 0.008). Lower BaSQoL scores were seen in older patients, meaning less BCC-impact on their HrQoL. There was a clear non-linear correlation between BaSQoL scores and age, illustrating that the impact of BCC on the HrQoL shows a rapid decrease starting around the age of 70. This study is the first to illustrate the relation between the BCC-related HrQoL and the age of patients with the use of a disease-specific HrQoL instrument. We found a lower BaSQoL score in older adults, with a specific age group of interest starting around the age of 70-75. This is an argument for a potential wait-and-see strategy for BCC in these patients."

While we previously identified a carcinoma tumor-intrinsic resistance pathway, basal-to-squamous cell carcinoma transition, here, employing a multipronged single-cell and spatial-omics approach, we identify an inflammation and therapy-enriched tumor state we term basal-to-inflammatory transition. Basal-to-inflammatory transition signature correlates with poor overall patient survival in many epithelial tumors. Basal-to-squamous cell carcinoma transition and basal-to-inflammatory transition occur in adjacent but distinct regions of a single tumor: basal-to-squamous cell carcinoma transition arises within the core tumor nodule, while basal-to-inflammatory transition emerges from a specialized inflammatory environment defined by a tumor-associated TREM1 myeloid signature. TREM1 myeloid-derived cytokines IL1 and OSM induce basal-to-inflammatory transition in vitro and in vivo through NF-κB, lowering sensitivity of patient basal cell carcinoma explant tumors to Smoothened inhibitor treatment. This work deepens our knowledge of the heterogeneous local tumor microenvironment and nominates basal-to-inflammatory transition as a drug-resistant but targetable tumor state driven by a specialized inflammatory microenvironment."

The five-year survival rate of SPTCL has been reported to be over 80%, indicating a favorable prognosis. Recent studies have uncovered recurrent germline variants in HAVCR2, encoding an immunomodulator. In this study, we integrated whole-exome sequencing data from 60 samples collected from 36 SPTCL patients, encompassing six patients of our cohort and 30 patients of publicly available data. We identified 138 somatic mutations in skin tumors of 24 patients and HAVCR2 germline mutations in 23 of 29 patients. HAVCR2 p.Tyr82Cys mutations were identified in four of six Japanese patients. During the clinical courses of four patients, cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunomycin, vincristine, and prednisone were administered to all patients, but it resulted in incomplete responses in all four patients. However, disease conditions of all patients remained stable with additional treatment, including autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Over a 7.5-year median follow-up, one patient developed autoimmune-related diseases, while one developed other hematological malignancy, resulting in death. To our knowledge, this is the first report of recurrent HAVCR2 germline mutations in Japanese patients, suggesting the necessity for long-term follow-up."

In this article, we reported 2 cases of MCC and reviewed relative literature. Case 1 was a 91-year-old woman who presented with a half-year history of a brown nodule on the left temple. The histopathological and immunohistochemistry examination diagnosis was MCC with negative staining of Merkel cell polyomavirus large T antigen (CM2B4). Case 2 was a 76-year-old man with a nodule on his right buttock that gradually increased from approximately 3 mm to 1.5 cm in diameter in 1 month without pain. The biopsy diagnosis was MCC with positive staining of CM2B4. Previous studies have found that the genetic mutation and prognosis of polyomavirus-associated MCC (MCCP) and nonviral MCC (MCCN) are significantly different. Large T antigen plays a crucial role in Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) oncogenesis. Testing for the MCPyV at the onset of MCC is recommended, which is helpful in predicting the prognosis of patients."

It is classified according to histopathology into subtypes A to F and with chromosomal rearrangement 6p25.3. Type D is characterized by epidermotropism of atypical CD8 + and CD30 + lymphocytes, small to medium size, forming papules and nodules with erosion and necrosis, which represents a formidable challenge in the differential diagnosis with aggressive cutaneous cytotoxic lymphomas. We present the clinical case of a 22-year-old man with subacute dermatosis, who underwent a skin biopsy with a report of LyP. Immunohistochemistry showed negative CD4, CD5, granzyme-B markers and positive CD3, CD30, CD8, CD56, and (T-cell intracellular antigen 1) TIA-1 markers, concluding the diagnosis of type D LyP. The course of the disease is recurrent; however, the prognosis is good with a 10-year survival of 100%. We present the case of a mestizo-ancestry patient who developed a type-D LyP, and, to the best of our knowledge, there are no publications of type D LyP from Latin-American authors or about mestizo-ancestry (or hispanic) patients; therefore, we consider of relevance to inform about these findings."

Skin biopsy of cGVHD is recommended when clinical features are not diagnostic, yet the histopathologic features of skin cGVHD are not well described. The objective of this study is to describe the histopathologic features of skin cGVHD in epidermal, sclerotic, and combination cGVHD. Of 49 patients with skin cGVHD, 30 of 49 (61.2%) were male, and mean age was 55 years (SD 11.1). Clinically, 33 of 49 (67.3%) had epidermal cGVHD (E-cGVHD), 1 of 49 (2.1%) had sclerotic cGVHD (S-cGVHD), and 15 of 49 (30.6%) had combination disease. The 49 patients corresponded to 83 unique pathologic specimens with 67 of 83 (80.7%) taken from E-cGVHD, and 16 of 83 (19.3%) from S-cGVHD lesions. Nearly all biopsy specimens from E-cGVHD showed minimal features of active GVHD, including apoptosis in the epidermal basal layer (n = 63, 94.0%), vacuolar change (n = 62, 92.5%), and lymphocyte satellitosis (n = 57, 85.1%). The predominant histologic pattern of E-cGVHD was lichen planus/interface dermatitis (n = 31, 47.0%). S-cGVHD specimens also showed minimal features of active GVHD with apoptosis of the epidermal basal layer (n = 11, 68.8%) and vacuolar change (n = 8, 50.0%). In addition, S-cGVHD showed sclerosis of the papillary and reticular dermis and subcutaneous septae (n = 8, 50.0%; n = 11, 68.8%; n = 5, 31.2%, respectively). The predominant histologic pattern of S-cGVHD was lichen sclerosus/morphea-like pattern (n = 10, 62.5%). Although minimal pathologic features of active GVHD are common, the majority of cGVHD biopsies share features with the inflammatory skin diseases that they clinically resemble.

Accumulating evidence showed that the application of antibiotics has been considered to reduce the effectiveness of anti-PD1 immunotherapy in tumor treatment, however, in this study, an antibiotic drug (Eravacycline, ERV) was identified to improve the efficacy of anti-PD1 immunotherapy in melanoma through screening approved library. Administration of ERV significantly attenuated melanoma cells growth as well as directly or indirectly benefited M1 macrophage polarization. Meanwhile, ERV treatment significantly induced cellular autophagy via damage of mitochondria, leading to up-regulation of ROS production, subsequently, raised CCL5 secretion through elevation AP1 binding to CCL5 promoter via p38 or JNK1/2 activation. Knockdown of Ccl5 expression attenuated ERV triggered M1 macrophage polarization in melanoma cells. Clinical analysis revealed a positive association between high expression of CCL5 and improved prognosis as well as a favorable anti-PD1 therapy in melanoma patients. As expected, application of ERV improved the efficacy of anti-PD1. Overall, our results approved that ERV enhances the efficacy of anti-PD1 immunotherapy in melanoma by promoting the polarization of M1 macrophages, which provided novel therapeutic strategy for improving the effectiveness of melanoma anti-PD1 immunotherapy."
+1637,skin cancer,39288297,Langerhans cells orchestrate apoptosis of DNA-damaged keratinocytes upon high-dose UVB skin exposure.,"Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of the skin causes mutations that can promote the development of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer. High-dose UVB exposure triggers a vigorous skin reaction characterized by inflammation resulting in acute sunburn. This response includes the formation of sunburn cells and keratinocytes (KC) undergoing programmed cell death (apoptosis) when repair mechanisms of DNA damage are inadequate. The primary objective of this research was to clarify the involvement of Langerhans cells (LC) in the development of acute sunburn following intense UVB skin irradiation. To address this, we subjected the dorsal skin of mice to a single high-dose UVB exposure and analyzed the immediate immune response occurring within the skin tissue. Acute sunburn triggered an activation of LC, coinciding with a rapid influx of neutrophils that produced TNF-α. Furthermore, our investigation unveiled a marked increase in DNA-damaged KC and the subsequent induction of apoptosis in these cells. Importantly, we demonstrate a crucial link between the inflammatory cascade, the initiation of apoptosis in DNA-damaged KC, and the presence of LC in the skin. LC were observed to modulate the chemokine response in the skin following exposure to UVB, thereby affecting the trafficking of neutrophils. Skin lacking LC revealed diminished inflammation, contained fewer TNF-α-producing neutrophils, and due to the prevention of apoptosis induction, a lingering population of DNA-damaged KC, presumably carrying the risk of enduring genomic alterations. In summary, our results underscore the pivotal role of LC in preserving the homeostasis of UVB-irradiated skin. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the intricate mechanisms underlying acute sunburn responses and their implications for UV-induced skin cancer."

These include uveal melanoma and blue nevi, which are often driven by mutations within the G protein-coupled signaling cascade downstream of cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 2. Here, we review how the same mutations within this pathway drive the growth of melanocytes in one tissue but can inhibit the growth of those in another, exemplifying the role of the tissue environment in the delicate balance between uncontrolled cell growth and senescence."
+1639,skin cancer,39287874,New Insights into the Link Between Melanoma and Obesity.,"The significant increase in the incidence of obesity represents a global health crisis. Obesity is actually a multi-organ disease affecting the entire organism; hence, skin is no exception. As the functional alterations in the adipose tissue are contributing factors to many diseases, including cancer, recently, the link between the development of melanoma skin cancer and obesity gains increased attention. Besides several other factors, the increase of adipose stromal/stem cells (ASCs) impacts cancer progression. Moreover, increased production of cytokines and growth factors done by ASCs induces tumorigenesis and metastasis. The chronic inflammatory state that is sustained by this metabolic imbalance favors skin malignancies, melanoma included. Cutaneous melanoma, as an aggressive skin cancer, has both intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors where sun exposure and lifestyles are the main environmental factors inducing this skin cancer. With the advent of recent targeted and immune-based therapies in melanoma, the link between obesity and the efficacy of these therapies in melanoma remains controversial. A recent molecular relationship between the melanocortin pathway appending to both melanin synthesis and obesity was established. The biology of adipokines, molecules secreted by the adipose tissue, is linked to inflammation, and their molecular pathways can be involved in angiogenesis, migration, invasion, and proliferation of melanoma cells. In melanoma cells, among the most noticeable metabolic reprogramming characteristics is an increased rate of lipid synthesis. Lipid mediators impact classical oncogenic pathways, affecting melanoma progression. The chapter will tackle also the practical implications for melanoma prevention and treatment, namely, how metabolic manipulation can be exploited to overcome immunosuppression and support immune checkpoint blockade efficacy."

Further to this, the prognosis of acute liver failure secondary to metastatic melanoma is dismal. We present the case of a 59-year-old male with a distant history of previously excised cutaneous melanoma who presented to our institution with abdominal pain and liver enzyme derangement suggestive of acute hepatitis. Due to progressive derangement in liver function and cross-sectional imaging suggestive of an infiltrative cause, a left axillary lymph node was biopsied which demonstrated metastatic melanoma. The patient subsequently deteriorated into acute liver failure and despite acute treatment of his underlying metastatic melanoma died 17 days post initial presentation.

Although midostaurin was the first tyrosine kinase inhibitor to be approved for AdvSM patients, long-lasting responses are limited. The mutation-Adjusted Risk Score (MARS), the International Prognostic Scoring System for mastocytosis (IPSM) and the Global Prognostic Score for Systemic Mastocytosis (GPSM) have been established to characterize the outcomes of patients with overall AdvSM. However, given the outcome's dependency on the AdvSM subtype, prognostic characterization within each subtype is critical. We aimed to study the predictive ability using Harrell's concordance index of prognostic scores according to the AdvSM subtype. We conducted a nationwide retrospective study using the French mastocytosis reference center's registry and included all midostaurin-treated patients with C finding. Overall, 170 patients were identified: 46 aggressive SM (ASM), 11 mast cell leukemia (MCL), and 113 SM with associated hematological neoplasm (SM-AHN). All risk scores improved their discriminative value for overall survival (OS) when combined with the AdvSM subtype. The best predictive value was for adjusted MARS (C-index = 0.689), followed by GPSM (C-index = 0.677) and IPSM (C-index = 0.618). In a multivariable analysis, MARS stratification and the AdvSM subtype were both prognostic for OS. Accordingly, five subgroups of patients with AdvSM and a different median OS were identified: 9.9 months for MCL, 24 months for intermediate/high-risk SM-AHN, 33 months for intermediate/high-risk ASM, 58 months for low-risk SM-AHN and was not reached for low-risk ASM (p < 0.001).

Here, we report that cell-intrinsic properties of a single vascular component, namely the pericyte, contribute to the control of tumor oxygenation, macrophage polarization, vessel inflammation, and T cell infiltration. Switching pericyte phenotype from a synthetic to a differentiated state reverses immune suppression and sensitizes tumors to adoptive T cell therapy, leading to regression of melanoma in mice. In melanoma patients, improved survival is correlated with enhanced pericyte maturity. Importantly, pericyte plasticity is regulated by signaling pathways converging on Rho kinase activity, with pericyte maturity being inducible by selective low-dose therapeutics that suppress pericyte MEK, AKT, or notch signaling. We also show that low-dose targeted anticancer therapy can durably change the tumor microenvironment without inducing adaptive resistance, creating a highly translatable pathway for redosing anticancer targeted therapies in combination with immunotherapy to improve outcome."
+1648,skin cancer,39286868,Immunotherapy and delivery systems for melanoma.,"Melanoma is a highly malignant tumor of melanocyte origin that is prone to early metastasis and has a very poor prognosis. Early melanoma treatment modalities are mainly surgical, and treatment strategies for advanced or metastatic melanoma contain chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. The efficacy of chemotherapy and radiotherapy has been unsatisfactory due to low sensitivity and strong toxic side effects. And targeted therapy is prone to drug resistance, so its clinical application is limited. Melanoma has always been the leader of immunotherapy for solid tumors, and how to maximize the role of immunotherapy and how to implement immunotherapy more accurately are still urgent to be explored. This review summarizes the common immunotherapies and applications for melanoma, illustrates the current research status of melanoma immunotherapy delivery systems, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each delivery system and its prospects for clinical application."

Herein, an immunotherapeutic hydrogel booster (GelMA-CJCNPs) was developed to prevent postoperative tumor recurrence and promote wound healing by incorporating ternary carrier-free nanoparticles (CJCNPs) containing chlorine e6 (Ce6), a BRD4 inhibitor (JQ1), and a glutaminase inhibitor (C968) into methacrylic anhydride-modified gelatin (GelMA) dressings. GelMA-CJCNPs reduced glutathione production by inhibiting glutamine metabolism, thereby preventing the destruction of reactive oxygen species generated by photodynamic therapy, which could amplify oxidative stress to induce severe cell death and enhance immunogenic cell death. In addition, GelMA-CJCNPs reduced M2-type tumor-associated macrophage polarization by blocking glutamine metabolism to reverse the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, recruiting more tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes. GelMA-CJCNPs also downregulated IFN-γ-induced expression of programmed cell death ligand 1 to mitigate acquired immune resistance. Benefiting from the amplified systemic antitumor immunity, GelMA-CJCNPs markedly inhibited the growth of both primary and distant tumors. Moreover, GelMA-CJCNPs demonstrated satisfactory photodynamic antibacterial effects against "

Mitochondria, recognized as the powerhouse of cells, play a crucial role in tumorigenesis and progression. Inspired by the Nature's tyrosinase-catalyzed melanin formation within melanoma cells, here an approach is developed using a polysaccharide dually-functionalized with tyrosine and triphenylphosphine (TPP) for targeted mitochondria cross-linking in melanoma cells. This technique intricately weaves melanin nets within the cells, serving as a tether for the mitochondria and effectively decelerating tumor metabolism through nanoparticle-net transformation. Tyrosinase acts as the ""needle"", while the functionalized polysaccharide serves as the ""string"" successfully constructing nets within the cell. Furthermore, the tyrosinase-catalyzed cross-linking of tyrosine not only facilitates the production of artificial melanin but also enhances the photothermal conversion efficiency of melanoma cells, leading to decrease of the tumor growth. This study unveils a non-drug method for regulating organelle physiological activity and introduces photothermal treatment. This work not only sheds light on the manipulation of cellular functions but also holds promise for advancing cancer therapeutic strategies."

Thermal images of pigmented lesions were compared to clinical examination by a plastic surgeon interested in skin diseases, dermatoscopy, and histopathology. A total of 35 patients with 55 pigmented skin lesions were considered. We found that all lesions emitting a dark signal on thermal imaging, compared to the nearby skin, were benign, while only one of all benign lesions (1.9%) had a bright ""warm"" signal. Benign lesions with papule/nodular morphology were dark in 87.5% of patients. All lesions diagnosed as malignant melanoma, both dermatoscopically and histologically, had plaque morphology; yet, only half demonstrated some signals on thermal imaging. Based on these results, we concluded that thermal imaging could be used as an adjunct to diagnosis when examining skin lesions. This study provided an introduction to using thermal imaging for spotting skin lesions."
+1655,skin cancer,39285403,Extracellular vesicles from highly invasive melanoma subpopulations increase the invasive capacity of less invasive melanoma cells through mir-1246-mediated inhibition of CCNG2.,"Invasive growth is a critical process in tumor progression, requiring the activation of various molecular processes in tumor cells at the invasive front. Intercellular communication between heterogeneous tumor cells enhances cellular activation and adaptation to specific microenvironments. One mechanism of intercellular communication is the delivery of miRNAs through tumor cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). In this context we have observed that conditioned media from a highly invasive cell subpopulation (BLM-HI) enhances the invasive capacity of the parental cell line (BLM). Therefore, we hypothesized that this complex change of cellular behavior is influenced by EV-transported miRNAs. The treatment of BLM cells with EVs derived from BLM-HI cells resulted in a significantly enhanced invasive capacity, as observed in Matrigel-embedded spheroids and in 2D Boyden chamber assays, with a dose-dependent effect. Conversely, the invasive capacity of BLM cells was reduced when secretion of EVs was inhibited by a sphingomyelinase inhibitor. To investigate the molecular mechanisms behind this effect, we performed next-generation sequencing and identified an enrichment of miR-1246 in these EVs. In functional analyses we demonstrated that both the EV mediated delivery of miR-1246 as well as overexpression contributes to the enhanced invasiveness of BLM cells. We identified a binding site of miR-1246 in the 3'UTR of cyclin G2 (CCNG2) and demonstrated direct binding by a luciferase reporter assay.Increased expression of CCNG2 has been associated with cancer metastasis and poor patient outcomes in other malignancies.

The utilization of signatures derived from ADME-related genes holds potential for predicting prognosis and treatment response across diverse cancer types. Further investigation is required to completely understand the role of ADME-associated genes in breast cancer. A signature was constructed through the application of a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression model, employing prognostic differentially expressed genes found in both cancer tissue and normal tissue. To assess the robustness of the signature, verification analyses were carried out. RT-qPCR was utilized for the validation of gene expression related to risk. Subsequently, a nomogram was developed to enhance the clinical utility of our prognostic tool. The ADME signature, comprising four genes, was established and exhibited a robust association with the prognoses of individuals diagnosed with breast cancer. The nomogram was created by fusing the clinicopathological characteristics with the ADME signature. The ADME signature demonstrated remarkable superiority when compared to the performance of the other individual predictors. Additionally, the analysis of the immune microenvironment revealed that the ImmuneScores of the low-risk group were elevated. The variation in both the infiltration of immune cells and the expression of immune-related genes in the tissues differed among the two groups. For patients with breast cancer, the utilization of ADME signatures as biomarkers presents a significant reference point for prognosis and individualized treatment strategies."

However, less is known about the role of the skin microbiota in melanoma. Here, we took advantage of a zebrafish melanoma model to probe the effects of Staphylococcus aureus on melanoma invasion. We found that S. aureus produces factors that enhance melanoma invasion and dissemination in zebrafish larvae. We used a published in vitro 3D cluster formation assay that correlates increased clustering with tumor invasion. S. aureus supernatant increased clustering of melanoma cells and was abrogated by a Rho-Kinase inhibitor, implicating a role for Rho-GTPases. The melanoma clustering response was specific to S. aureus but not to other staphylococcal species, including S. epidermidis. Our findings suggest that S. aureus promotes melanoma clustering and invasion via lipids generated by the lipase Sal2 (officially known as GehB). Taken together, these findings suggest that specific bacterial products mediate melanoma invasive migration in zebrafish."

Previously we have shown that primary skin fibroblasts from HD patients exhibit unique phenotype disease features, including distinct nuclear morphology and perturbed actin cap linked with cell motility, that are correlated with the HD patient disease severity. Here we provide further evidence that mitochondrial fission-fusion morphology balance dynamics, classified using a custom image-based high-content analysis (HCA) machine learning tool, that improved correlation with HD severity status. This mitochondrial phenotype is supported by appropriate changes in fission-fusion biomarkers (Drp1, MFN1, MFN2, VAT1) levels in the HD patients' fibroblasts. These findings collectively point towards a dysregulation in mitochondrial dynamics, where both fission and fusion processes may be disrupted in HD cells compared to healthy controls. This study shows for the first time a methodology that enables identification of HD phenotype before patient's disease onset (Premanifest). Therefore, we believe that this tool holds a potential for improving precision in HD patient's diagnostics bearing the potential to evaluate alterations in mitochondrial dynamics throughout the progression of HD, offering valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms and drug therapy evaluation underlying biological differences in any disease stage."

An improved understanding of the dermal immune response to mycobacteria may inspire new therapeutic approaches. We conducted a controlled human infection study with 10 participants who received 2 × 106 CFUs of Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (Tice strain) intradermally and were randomized to receive isoniazid or no treatment. Peripheral blood was collected at multiple time points for flow cytometry, bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), and serum Ab assessments. Systemic immune responses were detected as early as 8 d postchallenge in this M. bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin-naive population. Injection-site skin biopsies were performed at days 3 and 15 postchallenge and underwent immune profiling using mass cytometry and single-cell RNA-seq, as well as quantitative assessments of bacterial viability and burden. Molecular viability testing and standard culture results correlated well, although no differences were observed between treatment arms. Single-cell RNA-seq revealed various immune and nonimmune cell types in the skin, and communication between them was inferred by ligand-receptor gene expression. Day 3 communication was predominantly directed toward monocytes from keratinocyte, muscle, epithelial, and endothelial cells, largely via the migration inhibitory factor pathway and HLA-E-KLRK1 interaction. At day 15, communication was more balanced between cell types. These data reveal the potential role of nonimmune cells in the dermal immune response to mycobacteria and the utility of human challenge studies to augment our understanding of mycobacterial infections."

Ultrasonography is the preferred modality for diagnosing breast diseases; however, the ultrasonic features of Burkitt lymphoma have rarely been reported. Herein, we report a case of ultrasonically diagnosed bilateral PB-BL in a lactating patient and present a literature review. A 28-year-old female patient experienced bilateral breast engorgement starting more than a month after childbirth. At three months postpartum, the patient experienced extreme bilateral breast engorgement, with the skin appearing dark purple and jaundiced. Based on the imaging diagnosis, pathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular biological findings, she was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma involves bilateral breasts, right adrenal glands, uterus, and multiple bones. After 4 cycles of combination chemotherapy, the tumor basically disappeared, and then after autologous stem cell transplantation and one cycle of combination chemotherapy, the patient is generally in good condition and is under follow-up. We found that the ultrasonic characteristics of PB-BL are different from those of common breast cancer or lactation mastitis. PB-BL lesions are often multiple, large masses, and even involve the whole breast. The characteristic reticular structures are common in lesions, and irregular hyperechoic masses can be seen around it. The mass has abundant peripheral and internal blood flow signals, but internal calcification and attenuated posterior echoes of masses are rarely observed. Thus, the ultrasonic features of breast Burkitt lymphoma are somewhat specific and understanding these features is conducive to its early identification."
+1671,skin cancer,39282493,Impact of Demographics on Early-Stage vs. Stage IV Diagnosis in Amelanotic Melanoma: An Analysis of the National Cancer Database.,"Introduction Amelanotic melanoma (AM) is a rare form of melanoma that lacks pigment. Although curable when diagnosed early, it is often missed or mistaken for other benign conditions. There has not been a study investigating the impact of demographic features on the diagnosis of stage 0-I (early-stage) versus stage IV AM. Objective This study addresses a gap in knowledge regarding demographic factors that influence the odds of early-stage vs. stage IV diagnosis of AM. Methods This study identified 684 patients from the National Cancer Database who were diagnosed with early-stage AM or stage IV AM from 2004 to 2020 and compared them based on age, sex, race, insurance, income, education, insurance status, rurality, facility type, geographic region, and Charleson-Deyo score. Socioeconomic and demographic features of patients with early-stage and stage IV were compared using the chi-squared test, the independent t-test, and multivariate logistic regression. Statistical significance was set at α = 0.05. Results Most cases analyzed were White (98.5%), male (57.7%), and lived in a metropolitan setting (86.7%). Males made up most of the early-stage and stage IV groups (55.0% vs. 45% and 66.5% vs. 33.5%, respectively, p < 0.05). Younger age is associated with decreased odds of stage IV disease (OR = 0.973, 95% CI = 0.952-0.993, p < 0.05). In addition, the female sex is associated with decreased odds of stage IV disease (OR = 0.584, 95% CI = 0.381-0.897, p < 0.05). Conclusions Age and sex are two variables that influence the odds of stage IV diagnosis in patients with AM, which is strongly associated with worse survival outcomes."

The prognosis for melanoma varies widely based on several factors, including the stage at which it is diagnosed, the location and thickness of the tumor, the patient's age and overall health, and specific genetic factors associated with melanoma. Therapeutic options include checkpoint inhibitors, regardless of V-Raf Murine Sarcoma Viral Oncogene Homolog B status (BRAF), and targeted therapy (anti-BRAF) in the adjuvant or metastatic setting. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer treatment but predicting which patients will benefit from these therapies remains challenging. Biomarkers like leukocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, platelets, and other peripheral blood biomarkers have been investigated for their potential to predict responses to ICIs. Tumor mutational burden (TMB), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), and soluble PD-L1 (sPD-L1) have emerged as potential biomarkers for predicting responses to ICIs. Elevated baseline levels of ctDNA and elevated sPD-L1 levels have been associated with worse prognosis in melanoma patients. High TMB is often associated with better responses to ICIs in melanoma. Here we present a case from our department, of a 57-year-old patient, diagnosed in 2019 with stage IV - pT4cNx cM1 (lymph nodes metastases) and suspicion of lung metastases, BRAF wild-type right hallux malignant melanoma. Due to impressive results, first-line treatment with ICIs nivolumab and ipilimumab was the preferred treatment of choice, which showed a favorable response, with regression of oncological disease after the first cycle, and achieving complete response afterward. Unfortunately, the treatment was discontinued due to severe hepatic and pancreatic toxicity, but the favorable response to immunotherapy has been maintained for four years and is ongoing. Identifying predictive biomarkers is important to achieve the best response for the patient, with minimal adverse events, especially if long-term clinical benefit can be reached."

Rarely, invasive cancers regress spontaneously. We show that cancers can develop and regress on a timescale of weeks, not months or years. Invasive squamous cell carcinomas developed in normal adult, immune-competent mice as soon as 2 weeks after infection with mouse papillomavirus MmuPV1. Tumor development, regression or persistence was tissue- and strain-dependent. Cancers in infected mice developed rapidly at sites also prone to papillomavirus-induced tumors and cancers in humans - the throat, anus, and skin - and their frequency was increased in mice constitutively expressing the papillomavirus E5 oncogene, which MmuPV1 lacks. Cancers and dysplasia in the throat and anus regressed completely within 4-8 weeks of infection; however, skin lesions in the ear persisted. T-cell depletion in the mouse showed that regression of throat and anal tumors requires T cells. We conclude that papillomavirus infection suffices for rapid onset of invasive cancer, and persistence of lesions depends on factors including tissue type and host immunity. The speed of these events should promote rapid progress in the study of viral cancer development, persistence, and regression."
+1674,skin cancer,39282046,Current status of prepectoral breast reconstruction in Argentina.,"Breast cancer is among the most common cancers diagnosed in women, affecting one in eight women per year. Immediate implant-based breast reconstruction has emerged as the predominant approach for postmastectomy reconstruction, with a growing preference for the direct-to-implant (DTI) method over the traditional tissue expander technique. While conventionally, implants were typically positioned beneath the pectoralis major muscle, recent advancements have paved the way for implant placement above the muscle, in the prepectoral plane. Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) and skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) techniques can be combined with prepectoral breast reconstruction. The presence of sufficient fatty tissue coverage is considered one of the foremost independent factors influencing the success of immediate breast reconstruction and flap viability. DTI is a safe approach for prepectoral implant-based reconstruction with a number of advantages. However, careful patient selection and judicious assessment of flap perfusion help identify an appropriate subset of patients for prepectoral DTI reconstruction. Proposed breast tissue coverage classification (BTCC) and rigorous perfusion assessment techniques will aid to minimize postoperative complications and reconstruction failure. Based on the obtained range of coverage values (distance between the Cooper's ligaments and the skin) of preoperative digital mammogram evaluation, a three-type BTCC is as follows: Type 1: <1 cm (poor coverage), Type 2: between 1 and 2 cm (medium coverage), Type 3: >2 cm (good coverage). Prepectoral DTI reconstruction provides good results with complication rates similar to those of subpectoral techniques, eliminating breast animation. A meticulous surgical technique is essential to preserve the vascular network that guarantees the survival of the skin flap and nipple-areola complex (NAC). In the good coverage group (Type 3), an immediate DTI reconstruction could be safely performed. Aesthetic complications as rippling can occur if prepectoral implants are placed in Type 1 patients. Preoperative planning for prepectoral placement should not depend on breast volume, but on breast tissue coverage. Flap evaluation based on preoperative imaging measurements may be helpful when planning a conservative mastectomy. Patient selection, preoperative and intraoperative mastectomy flap evaluation, and modifications in implant technology play a critical role in this new and rapidly growing method for implant-based breast reconstruction."

Electrospinning is a versatile scaffold fabrication technique that allows control of macro- and microarchitecture. It remains challenging to electrospin dECM, which has led researchers to either blend it with synthetic materials or use enzymatic digestion to fully solubilize the dECM. Both strategies reduce the innate bioactivity of dECM and limit its regenerative potential. Herein, we developed a new suspension electrospinning method to fabricate a pure dECM fibrous mesh that retains its innate bioactivity. Systematic investigation of suspension parameters was used to identify critical rheological properties required to instill ""spinnability,"" including homogenization, concentration, and particle size. Homogenization enhanced particle interaction to impart the requisite elastic behavior to withstand electrostatic drawing without breaking. A direct correlation between concentration and viscosity was observed that altered fiber morphology; whereas, particle size had minimal impact on suspension properties and fiber morphology. The versatility of this new method was demonstrated by electrospinning dECM with three common decellularization techniques (Abraham, Badylak, Luo) and tissue sources (intestinal submucosa, heart, skin). Bioactivity retention after electrospinning was confirmed using cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and macrophage polarization assays. Collectively, these findings provide a framework for researchers to electrospin dECM for diverse tissue engineering applications."

The patient has a history of prostate cancer with radical proctectomy in 1999, hypertension with right-sided heart failure, and bilateral cataracts treated operatively. He presented to their home hospital after an unwitnessed fall, with a history of left-sided weakness. He was found to have a parietal lobe mass and two lung masses, where he was transferred to our hospital for a higher level of care. Biopsy of the lung lesion revealed melanoma, and the patient did not have any skin or mucosal foci present to indicate a primary source. We present this case in conjunction with a review of the literature. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, our review resulted in 31 MUP case reports. Data was extracted on epidemiology, clinical presentations, diagnostics, treatment, and outcomes. The mean age was 57.5 with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.3. The greatest instances of MUP occurred in prior smokers and patients with comorbidities, accounting for 17.95% of cases each. Thirty-one percent of patients presented with a growing palpable mass, 21% with gastrointestinal symptoms, and 21% with B-symptoms. Biopsy was the diagnostic standard, and the majority of patients also underwent biomarker studies. Treatment varied widely, and many patients underwent multiple phases. Outcomes ranged from death within several months to a disease-free period of three years. Our paper highlights the complexity and nuances of diagnosing MUP and primary malignant melanoma of the lung (PMML) and calls for further investigations to improve diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for rare presentations of melanoma.

Here, we introduce the adenosine signaling score (ADO-score) model using non-negative matrix fraction identified patient subtypes using publicly available melanoma dataset, which aimed to profile adenosine signaling-related genes and construct a model to predict prognosis. We analyzed 580 malignant melanoma samples and demonstrated its robust value for prognosis. Further investigation in immune checkpoint inhibitor dataset suggests its potential as a stratified factor of immune checkpoint inhibitor efficacy. We validated the power of the ADO-score at the protein level immunofluorescence in a melanoma cohort from Xiangya Hospital. More importantly, single-cell and spatial transcriptomic data highlighted the cell-specific expression patterns of adenosine signaling-related genes and the existence of adenosine signaling-mediated crosstalk between tumor cells and immune cells in melanoma.

Proposed mechanisms suggest that AD may act protectively against cancer formation through chronic immune system activation or create an inflammatory state conducive to cancer development. This review discusses the relationship between AD and various skin cancers, solid tumors, and hematologic malignancies. Additionally, the authors explore the impact of AD treatments, particularly novel biologic drugs targeting molecular pathways such as JAK-STAT, IL-4, and IL-13 in association with malignancies."

MITF genomic amplification promotes melanoma development, and it can facilitate resistance to multiple therapies. Here, we show that MITF regulates a global antioxidant program that increases survival of melanoma cell lines by protecting the cells from reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced damage. In addition, this redox program is correlated with MITF expression in human melanoma cell lines and patient-derived melanoma samples. Using a zebrafish melanoma model, we show that MITF decreases ROS-mediated DNA damage in vivo. Some of the MITF target genes involved, such as IDH1 and NNT, are regulated through direct MITF binding to canonical enhancer box (E-BOX) sequences proximal to their promoters. Utilizing functional experiments, we demonstrate the role of MITF and its target genes in reducing cytosolic and mitochondrial ROS. Collectively, our data identify MITF as a significant driver of the cellular antioxidant state."

The tumors may also show fibroblastic, schwannian, smooth muscle, rhabdomyosarcomatous, gangliocytic, epithelial, and neuroendocrine differentiation. All these features can lead to serious diagnostic difficulties. The study aimed to determine the frequency of neuroendocrine differentiation in melanomas of the sinonasal and oral regions and to assess whether there is any relationship between neuroendocrine differentiation and clinical, histopathological, and other immunophenotypic features of this neoplasm. The study included 18 cases diagnosed with oral or sinonasal malignant melanoma. Neuroendocrine differentiation was determined by immunohistochemistry using synaptophysin, chromogranin, CD56, and INSM-1. A cut-off defining neuroendocrine differentiation in malignant melanomas has not been established in the literature. Because of this, any degree of neuroendocrine marker expression was considered as indicative of ""neuroendocrine differentiation"" without setting any cut-off. Neuroendocrine differentiation was observed in 13 of 18 cases (72.2 %) when a single positive neuroendocrine marker was considered sufficient. The number of cases with at least two positive neuroendocrine markers was 8/18 (44.4 %). Synaptophysin, chromogranin A, CD56, and INSM1 were positive in 33.3 %, 13.3 %, 56.2 %, and 47.1 % of cases, respectively. The results of our study suggest that neuroendocrine differentiation is not uncommon in oral and sinonasal melanomas. Knowing that malignant melanomas can show neuroendocrine differentiation will prevent diagnostic pitfalls."

However, it is challenging to simultaneously measure mechanical contractile forces and electrophysiological signals of cardiac organoids in real-time and in-situ with the existing methods. Here, we present a biting-inspired sensory system based on a resistive skin sensor and a microelectrode array. The bite-like contact can be established with a micromanipulator to precisely position the resistive skin sensor on the top of the cardiac organoid while the 3D microneedle electrode array probes from underneath. Such reliable contact is key to achieving simultaneous electro-mechanical measurements. We demonstrate the use of our system for modelling cardiotoxicity with the anti-cancer drug doxorubicin. The electro-mechanical parameters described here elucidate the acute cardiotoxic effects induced by doxorubicin. This integrated electro-mechanical system enables a suite of new diagnostic options for assessing cardiac organoids and tissues."

Recent cohort studies demonstrate a positive association between skin cancer and asthma or hay fever (allergy to outdoor allergens such as pollen). Nationally-representative data for adults in the United States remains limited. We aimed to characterize skin cancer prevalence among individuals in the United States who have asthma or hay fever. To achieve this aim, we extracted nationwide cross-sectional data from 16,277 adult participants (total survey-weighted sample = 174,765,931) of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1988 to 1994. This study uses survey-weighted regression to compare the nationwide prevalence of skin cancer among participants with or without a history of asthma or hay fever. Sensitivity analysis examined the influence of sex, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, chronic bronchitis or emphysema, geographical region, urban proximity, and oral glucocorticoid use. Of the included participants, the age-adjusted prevalence of skin cancer was 7.2%, similar to national estimates. Skin cancer prevalence was higher among participants who had asthma with hay fever (adjusted prevalence ratio, 1.79; 95% confidence interval, 1.16, 2.76), but not among participants with asthma only or hay fever only. Similarly, skin cancer prevalence was higher for those with asthma and positive pollen allergen skin prick testing (SPT), but not for those with hay fever and positive pollen SPT. No association was noted between skin cancer and wheezing triggered by pollen.

The use of Mohs micrographic surgery for human papilloma virus-associated cutaneous malignancies has yet to be explored in a systematic review. The authors sought to assess outcomes including recurrence rates of Mohs micrographic surgery for human papilloma virus-associated cutaneous malignancies. PubMed was searched for the use of Mohs micrographic surgery in types of human papilloma virus-associated cutaneous malignancies. After application of exclusion and inclusion criteria, 33 articles were included. 700 cases from 33 studies were included.

Although primary lung malignant melanomas are rare, they are often diagnosed at advanced stages due to their asymptomatic nature, and their atypical presentations may lead to misdiagnosis as other malignancies. In this case report, a mass lesion almost completely filling the right lung initially led to the consideration of small cell lung carcinoma, but a definitive pathological diagnosis could not be obtained in subsequent studies. The diagnosis was confirmed by soft tissue biopsy taken from the anterior thoracic wall. Considering clinical, pathological, and radiological evaluations, possible diagnoses included sarcoma, small-cell lung cancer, and melanoma. The patient, diagnosed through multiple tissue sampling and detailed dermatological examination, presents an interesting atypical case. This case highlights that rare variants of melanoma can be mistaken for other cancer types, such as lung cancer, sarcoma, or lymphoma. Patients may not always present with a noticeable skin lesion; therefore, a meticulous skin examination is crucial in such cases.

There has been increasing interest in plant extracts and their potential applications in melanoma. The present study aimed to investigate the content of individual phenolic compounds in araçá-boi extract, evaluate their antioxidant activity, and explore their effects on cell viability, migration properties, oxidative stress levels, and protein expression in the human metastatic melanoma cell line SK-MEL-28. HPLC-DAD analysis identified 11 phenolic compounds in the araçá-boi extract. Trans-cinnamic acid was the main phenolic compound identified; therefore, it was used alone to verify its contribution to antitumor activities. SK-MEL-28 melanoma cells were treated for 24 h with different concentrations of araçá-boi extract and trans-cinnamic acid (200, 400, 600, 800, and 1600 µg/mL). Both the araçá-boi extract and trans-cinnamic acid reduced cell viability, cell migration, and oxidative stress in melanoma cells. Additionally, they modulate proteins involved in apoptosis and inflammation. These findings suggest the therapeutic potential of araçá-boi extract and its phenolic compounds in the context of melanoma, especially in strategies focused on preventing metastasis.

Insufficient FLG expression contributes to the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory skin diseases. Saikosaponin A (SSA), a bioactive oleanane-type triterpenoid, exerts anti-inflammatory activity. However, the effects of topically applied SSA on FLG expression in inflamed skin remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the biological activity of SSA in restoring reduced FLG expression. The effect of SSA on FLG expression in HaCaT cells was assessed through various biological methods, including reverse transcription PCR, quantitative real-time PCR, immunoblotting, and immunofluorescence staining. TNFα and IFNγ decreased FLG mRNA, cytoplasmic FLG protein levels, and FLG gene promoter-reporter activity compared to the control groups. However, the presence of SSA restored these effects. A series of FLG promoter-reporter constructs were generated to investigate the underlying mechanism of the effect of SSA on FLG expression. Mutation of the AP1-binding site (mtAP1) in the -343/+25 FLG promoter-reporter abrogated the decrease in reporter activities caused by TNFα + IFNγ, suggesting the importance of the AP1-binding site in reducing FLG expression. The SSA treatment restored FLG expression by inhibiting the expression and nuclear localization of FRA1 and c-Jun, components of AP1, triggered by TNFα + IFNγ stimulation. The ERK1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway upregulates FRA1 and c-Jun expression, thereby reducing FLG levels. The SSA treatment inhibited ERK1/2 activation caused by TNFα + IFNγ stimulation and reduced the levels of FRA1 and c-Jun proteins in the nucleus, leading to a decrease in the binding of FRA1, c-Jun, p-STAT1, and HDAC1 to the AP1-binding site in the FLG promoter. The effect of SSA was evaluated in an animal study using a BALB/c mouse model, which induces human atopic-dermatitis-like skin lesions via the topical application of dinitrochlorobenzene. Topically applied SSA significantly reduced skin thickening, immune cell infiltration, and the expression of FRA1, c-Jun, and p-ERK1/2 compared to the vehicle-treated group. These results suggest that SSA can effectively recover impaired FLG levels in inflamed skin by preventing the formation of the repressor complex consisting of FRA1, c-Jun, HDAC1, and STAT1."

Significant changes in the epidemiological and clinical profile of IE have been observed, including variations in the populations at risk and an increased incidence in subjects without at-risk cardiac disease. Emergent at-risk populations for IE particularly include immunocompromised patients with a comorbidity burden (e.g., cancer, diabetes, dialysis), requiring long-term central venous catheters or recurrent healthcare interventions. In addition, healthy subjects, such as skin-contact athletes or those with piercing implants, may be exposed to the transmission of highly virulent bacteria (through the skin or mucous), determining endothelial lesions and subsequent IE, despite the absence of pre-existing at-risk cardiac disease. Emergent at-risk populations and clinical presentation changes may subvert the conventional paradigm of IE toward an unexpected clinical scenario. Owing to its unusual clinical context, IE might be overlooked, resulting in a challenging diagnosis and delayed treatment. This review, supported by a series of clinical cases, analyzed the subtle and deceptive phenotypes subtending the complex syndrome of unexpected IE. The awareness of an unexpected clinical course should alert clinicians to also consider IE diagnosis in patients with atypical features, enhancing vigilance for preventive measures in an emergent at-risk population untargeted by conventional workflows."

The combination of chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT) represents a promising strategy to enhance antitumor efficacy through synergistic anti-cancer effects. Topical delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs and photosensitizers (PS) offers a non-invasive and safe way to treat melanoma. However, the effectiveness of these treatments is often hindered by challenges such as limited skin permeability and instability of the PS. In this study, transfersomes (TFS) were designed to facilitate transdermal delivery of the chemotherapeutic drug 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and the PS Imperatorin (IMP) for combined chemo-photodynamic therapy for melanoma. The cytotoxic and phototoxic effects of TFS-mediated PDT (TFS-UVA) were investigated in A375 cells and nude mice.

Numerous isoforms of MDM4 exist, with few studies examining their specific expression in human tissues. The changes in splicing of MDM4 during human melanomagenesis are critical to p53 activity and represent potential therapeutic targets. Compounding this, studies relying on short reads lose ""connectivity"" data, so full transcripts are frequently only inferred from the presence of splice junction reads. To address this problem, long-read nanopore sequencing was utilized to read the entire length of transcripts. Here, MDM4 transcripts, both alternative and canonical, are characterized in a pilot cohort of human melanoma specimens. RT-PCR was first used to identify the presence of novel splice junctions in these specimens. RT-qPCR then quantified the expression of major MDM4 isoforms observed during sequencing. The current study both identifies and quantifies MDM4 isoforms present in melanoma tumor samples.

UVA wavelengths, which penetrate in the deep layers of the skin dermis, exert their toxicity mainly through chromophore photosensitization reactions. Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), the most abundant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon originating from the incomplete combustion of organic matter, could act as a chromophore and absorb UVA. We and other groups have previously shown that BaP and UVA synergize their toxicity in skin cells, which leads to important oxidation. Even if mitochondria alterations have been related to premature skin aging and other skin disorders, no studies have focused on the synergy between UV exposure and pollution on mitochondria. Our study aims to investigate the combined effect of UVA and BaP specifically on mitochondria in order to assess the effect on mitochondrial membranes and the consequences on mitochondrial activity. We show that BaP has a strong affinity for mitochondria and that this affinity leads to an important induction of lipid peroxidation and membrane disruption when exposed to UVA. Co-exposure to UVA and BaP synergizes their toxicity to negatively impact mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial metabolism and the mitochondrial network. Altogether, our results highlight the implication of mitochondria in the synergistic toxicity of pollution and UV exposure and the potential of this toxicity on skin integrity."

The sides of the rhombus are of equal length and ideally have an angle of 60° and 120°. The flap that closes the defect is planned as an extension of equal length of the short diagonal. The second incision of the flap is placed according to the defect angle of 60°, running parallel to the defect at the same length. This creates a second rhombus. The flap is transposed into the defect, and the donor area is primarily closed. It is axially perfused and safe with a 1:1 length-to-width ratio. Compared to local perforator flaps, defect closure is easily managed without microsurgical skills. In the breast, the flap can be used in volume replacement and volume displacement techniques as an all-layer flap to cover defects, or it can be deepithelialized and buried. In the axilla, it can cover full-thickness defects when skin is involved. The advantages of the rhombic flap are its safety and simplicity to add volume and close defects, thus reducing the complexity of oncoplastic surgery."

Thus, deeper understanding of high-risk sun exposure behaviors is needed to help counter this trend. Only limited action has been taken by federal/provincial governments to reduce skin cancer incidence. A cross-sectional survey study was conducted in Manitoba, with frequency counts, means, and percentages used to encapsulate responses. Age- and gender-adjusted odds ratios were calculated using logistic regression analyses. Our study identified worrying inadequacies in sun protective behaviors and attitudes, with the threat of such high-risk behaviors amplified by a lack of skin cancer awareness. Alarming elements were noted in participants' sun exposure history (>65% reported a history of sunburns, >50% previously used a tanning bed, and >75% recently tanned for pleasure), beliefs and attitudes (>50% believe that they look better/healthier with a tan, and >40% believe that having a base tan is protective against further sun damage), and sun protection efforts (sun protective clothing was used <60% of the time, sunscreen was used by <50%, and there was a lack of knowledge about sunscreen characteristics in ~30% of respondents), in addition to significant differences being established between demographic subgroups (based on gender, age, skin phototype, income, and education attained). This study provides worrisome insight onto the grim landscape of sun protective behaviors and attitudes in Manitoba, which will inevitably translate into higher skin cancer rates and should serve as a call to action to promote targeted public health messaging in this jurisdiction and beyond."

To address this, an automated approach for generating melanoma imaging biomarker cues (IBCs), which mimics the screening cues used by expert dermoscopists, was developed. This study created a one-minute learning environment where dermatologists adopted a sensory cue integration algorithm to combine a single IBC with a risk score built on many IBCs, then immediately tested their performance in differentiating melanoma from benign nevi. Ten participants evaluated 78 dermoscopic images, comprised of 39 melanomas and 39 nevi, first without IBCs and then with IBCs. Participants classified each image as melanoma or nevus in both experimental conditions, enabling direct comparative analysis through paired data. With IBCs, average sensitivity improved significantly from 73.69% to 81.57% ("

Dysfunctional and damaged mitochondria are fragmented and removed through mitophagy, a mitochondrial quality control mechanism. The FDA-approved drug IMQ, a synthetic agonist of Toll-like receptor 7, exhibits antitumor activity against various skin malignancies. We previously reported that IMQ promptly reduced the level of the antiapoptotic Mcl-1 protein and that Mcl-1 overexpression attenuated IMQ-triggered apoptosis in skin cancer cells. Furthermore, IMQ profoundly disrupted mitochondrial function, promoted mitochondrial fragmentation, induced mitophagy, and caused cell death by generating high levels of ROS. However, whether Mcl-1 protects mitochondria from IMQ treatment is still unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that Mcl-1 overexpression induced resistance to IMQ-induced apoptosis and reduced both IMQ-induced ROS generation and oxidative stress in cancer cells. Mcl-1 overexpression maintained mitochondrial function and integrity and prevented mitophagy in IMQ-treated cancer cells. Furthermore, IL-6 protected against IMQ-induced apoptosis by increasing Mcl-1 expression and attenuating IMQ-induced mitochondrial fragmentation. Mcl-1 overexpression ameliorates IMQ-induced ROS generation and mitochondrial fragmentation, thereby increasing mitochondrial stability and ultimately attenuating IMQ-induced cell death. Investigating the roles of Mcl-1 in mitochondria is a potential strategy for cancer therapy development."

Several benign lesions, such as cherry angioma, clear cell acanthoma, dermal nevus, keloid, hypertrophic scar, and Spitz nevus, often exhibit similar clinical and dermoscopic features. This similarity extends to some malignant lesions, including basal cell carcinoma, actinic keratosis, and amelanotic melanoma, making differentiation difficult. Recent studies highlight the enhanced diagnostic accuracy of reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), which offers increased sensitivity and specificity compared to dermoscopy alone for diagnosing skin cancer. This study aims to summarize the application of dermoscopy and RCM in distinguishing between benign and malignant pinkish-reddish skin lesions. The integration of RCM with traditional dermoscopic techniques improves the ability to accurately identify and differentiate these lesions. However, it is crucial to note that for any suspicious lesions, a final diagnosis must be confirmed through surgical excision and histopathological evaluation. This comprehensive approach ensures accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, highlighting the importance of combining advanced imaging techniques in clinical practice."

The diagnosis is usually firstly suspected based on clinical manifestations; however, dermoscopic features may improve diagnostic sensitivity in cases of an uncertain diagnosis and may guide the biopsy, which should be performed to histopathologically prove the tumor. New diagnostic strategies may improve the sensitivity of the cutaneous SCC, such as reflectance confocal microscopy and line-field confocal optical coherence, for which increasing data have been recently published. Imaging has a central role in the staging of the diseases, while its exact role, as well as the choice of the best techniques, during the follow-up are not fully clarified.

The syndrome was first described as an idiopathic entity; however, increasingly, more cases are being reported in association with cancers and other conditions. Diagnosis stems from the recognition of the double paradox, consisting of severe generalized oedema and hypotension, accompanied by hallmark laboratory modifications. Concurrent conditions in patients with malignancies can alter laboratory findings and make the diagnosis a challenge. This report presents the case of a patient with capillary leak syndrome and an atypical presentation, with generalized skin rash and transcutaneous exudation occurring concurrently with anaplastic large T cell lymphoma, macrophage activation syndrome, and cytopenias. Symptom-specific treatment with diuretics and albumin was ineffective in the case of our patient; however, the CLS remitted promptly with cancer-specific therapy. No treatment has proved to be generally effective against CLS up to date, as is the case for this patient. Thus, the rapid recognition of cancer-associated capillary leak syndrome and the initiation of cancer-specific treatment proves to be the better approach and is key to avoiding unnecessary delays and ineffective treatments targeted specifically at CLS."

This study aimed to elucidate histological and molecular changes in canine skin post-radiation therapy (post-RT) over nine weeks, focusing on inflammation, stem cell activity, angiogenesis, keratinocyte regeneration, and apoptosis. Four male beagles received a cumulative radiation dose of 48 Gy, followed by clinical observations, histological examinations, and an RT-qPCR analysis of skin biopsies. Histological changes correlated with clinical recovery from inflammation. A post-RT analysis revealed a notable decrease in the mRNA levels of Oct4, Sox2, and Nanog from weeks 1 to 9. VEGF 188 levels initially saw a slight increase at week 1, but they had significantly declined by week 9. Both mRNA and protein levels of COX-2 and Keratin 10 significantly decreased over the 9 weeks following RT, although COX-2 expression surged in the first 2 weeks, and Keratin 10 levels increased at weeks 4 to 5 compared to normal skin. Apoptosis peaked at 2 weeks and diminished, nearing normal by 9 weeks. These findings offer insights into the mechanisms of radiation-induced skin injury and provide guidance for managing side effects in canine radiation therapy."

+1743,skin cancer,39271155,The role of the skin in the atopic march.,"Atopic diseases, including atopic dermatitis (AD), food allergy (FA), asthma, and allergic rhinitis (AR) are closely related to inflammatory diseases involving different body sites (i.e. the skin, airway, and digestive tract) with characteristic features including specific IgE to allergens (so-called ""atopy"") and Th2 cell-mediated inflammation. It has been recognized that AD often precedes the development of other atopic diseases. The progression from AD during infancy to FA or asthma/AR in later childhood is referred to as the ""atopic march"" (AM). Clinical, genetic, and experimental studies have provided evidence that allergen sensitization occurring through AD skin could be the origin of the AM. Here, we provide an updated review focusing on the role of the skin in the AM, from genetic mutations and environmental factors associated with epidermal barrier dysfunction in AD and the AM to immunological mechanisms for skin sensitization, particularly recent progress on the function of key cytokines produced by epidermal keratinocytes or by immune cells infiltrating the skin during AD.

To address this, we present IRescue (Interspersed Repeats single-cell quantifier), a software capable of estimating the expression of TE subfamilies at the single-cell level. IRescue incorporates a unique UMI deduplication algorithm to rectify sequencing errors and employs an Expectation-Maximization procedure to effectively redistribute the counts of multi-mapping reads. Our study showcases the precision of IRescue through analysis of both simulated and real single cell and nuclei RNA-seq data from human colorectal cancer, brain, skin aging, and PBMCs during SARS-CoV-2 infection and recovery.

KITLG, expressed by keratinocytes, binds to KIT on melanocytes, stimulating melanogenesis. Disturbances in the KITLG-KIT interaction result in diffuse hyperpigmentation in FPHH. However, the mechanisms behind hypopigmented macule formation remain unclear. This report presents a unique FPHH case in a patient with a novel KITLG mutation (Ser78Leu). Notably, the patient showed multiple hypopigmented macules and striae along the lines of Blaschko. Digital polymerase chain reaction analysis of the DNA from skin and blood tissues indicated a copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity at the KITLG locus, only in the hypopigmented macule. These findings suggest that the hypopigmented macules might result from revertant mosaicism. Conversely, café-au-lait spots do not follow the lines of Blaschko and can superimpose on the hypopigmented striae, indicating a distinct pathogenesis.

Owing to its rarity, it is necessary to accumulate information on treatments, especially in Asians, in whom MMM occurs more frequently than in Caucasians. In this study, we investigated the efficacy and adverse events (AEs) of nivolumab plus ipilimumab therapy (NIVO+IPI) versus immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) monotherapy (PD-1) in Japanese patients with MMM. We reviewed patients with advanced or recurrent MMM who received ICIs as first-line systematic therapy between February 2012 and February 2024 at the Shizuoka Cancer Center. We enrolled a total of 57 patients: 10 (17.5%) were treated with NIVO+IPI, and 47 (82.5%) were treated with PD-1 as first-line systemic therapy. Objective response rates (ORR) did not differ significantly between the NIVO+IPI and PD-1 groups (40.0% vs 27.7%; p = 0.176). There was also no statistically significant difference in progression-free survival (PFS) (median PFS time: 4.3 months vs 9.9 months, log-rank test, p = 0.578) or overall survival (OS) (median OS time: 33.1 months vs. 22.8 months, log-rank test, p = 0.697) between the two groups. However, regarding AEs, grade ≥3 AEs leading to discontinuation of first-line treatment occurred in 80% of patients in the NIVO+IPI group and in 22.6% of patients in the PD-1 group (p = 0.002). No difference was found in the efficacy of NIVO+IPI therapy and anti-PD-1 antibody monotherapy as the first-line treatment for MMM in Japanese patients, but an increase in AEs was observed with combination therapy.

BP represents a paradigm for an organ-specific autoimmune disease and is characterized by circulating IgG autoantibodies to hemidesmosomal components: BP180 and BP230. While the crucial role of these autoantibodies in triggering BP inflammatory cascade is fully acknowledged, many ancillary etiological mechanisms need to be elucidated yet. Cutaneous melanoma is due to a malignant transformation of skin melanocytes, that produce and distribute pigments to surrounding keratinocytes. Melanoma is the most fatal skin cancer because of its increasing incidence and its propensity to metastasize. Several data such as: i) reported cases of concomitant melanoma and BP; ii) results from association studies; iii) BP onset following immune check-point inhibitors therapy; iv) expression of BP antigens in transformed melanocytes; and vi) circulating autoantibodies to BP antigens in melanoma patients suggest an intriguing, although unproven, possible association between melanoma and BP. However, a possible causative link is still debated and the putative pathogenetic mechanism underlying this association is unclear. This review aims to describe and discuss the possible relationship between BP and melanoma and give an overview of the speculations for or against this association. Of note, if demonstrated, this association could unwrap considerations of clinical relevance that represent new research frontiers."

There is substantial evidence linking autophagy to cancer etiology and immunotherapy efficacy. This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive analysis of autophagy-related genes (ARGs) using TCGA datasets and further explore the potential function of critical ARGs in SKCM progression. We performed comprehensive bioinformatics analysis uses the TCGA dataset. RT-PCR was applied to examine the expression of CAPNS1 in SKCM cells. Lost-of-function experiments were performed to detect the expression of the related proteins. In this search, we screed 70 differentially expressed autophagy-related genes (DE-ARGs), including 33 up-DE-ARGs and 37 down-DE-ARGs. Enrichment assays revealed that these 70 DE-ARGs may exert influence on critical cellular processes such as autophagy, protein kinase activity, and signaling pathways, impacting cell growth, differentiation, survival, and tumor development. Then, we further explore the prognostic value of 70 DE-ARGs and confirmed 18 survival-related DE-ARGs in SKCM patients. Nearly all the 18 DE-ARGs' methylation was negatively correlated with their corresponding expression in SKCM. The 12 survival-related DE-ARGs were used to develop a unique predictive model that effectively classified SKCM patients into high- and low-risk groups with regard to overall survival. Furthermore, tumor environment analysis indicated that the risk score was associated with several immune cells. Among the 12 survival-related DE-ARGs, our attention focused on CAPNS1 which was highly expressed in SKCM patients and predicted a poor prognosis. In addition, we confirmed that knockdown of CAPNS1 distinctly suppressed the proliferation, metastasis and EMT of SKCM cells, and promoted autophagy via regulating Notch signaling pathway. Overall, this study enhances our understanding of the intricate molecular landscape of SKCM progression and presents promising avenues for future research and clinical applications."

Previous research has shown that moderate coffee intake may contribute to extending healthspan and enhancing longevity through beneficial effects on cardiometabolic health and key biological processes involved in aging. However, the relationship between coffee consumption and cancer risk remains controversial. This review synthesizes longitudinal observational and interventional data on the effects of coffee consumption on overall and site-specific cancers, explores underlying biological mechanisms, and discusses clinical and public health implications. Additionally, the review highlights evidence from Mendelian randomization (MR) studies to assess potential causal relationships. Our findings suggest that coffee consumption is associated with a reduced risk of several cancers, including skin, liver, prostate, and endometrial cancers, and may also lower cancer recurrence rates, particularly in colorectal cancer. These protective associations appear consistent across different demographic groups, with the most significant benefits observed at consumption levels of three or more cups per day. However, evidence is inconclusive for many other cancers, and coffee consumption is consistently linked to an increased risk of lung cancer. MR studies generally do not support a strong causal relationship for most cancers, though some suggest potential protective effects for hepatocellular, colorectal, and possibly prostate cancers, with mixed results for ovarian cancer and an increased risk for esophageal cancer and multiple myeloma. The protective effect of coffee on liver and prostate cancer is supported by both observational and MR studies. The potential anti-cancer benefits of coffee are attributed to its bioactive compounds, such as caffeine, chlorogenic acids, and diterpenes, which possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds may reduce oxidative stress, inhibit cancer cell proliferation, induce apoptosis, and modulate hormone levels. The review emphasizes the need for further research to clarify dose-response relationships, causal associations, and the biological mechanisms underlying these associations. While coffee consumption appears to contribute to cancer prevention and healthy aging, caution is warranted due to the increased risk of certain cancers, highlighting the complexity of its health effects."

Surgical interventions aim for complete excision while minimizing cosmetic and functional impairments. Techniques such as laser ablation and electrochemotherapy offer minimally invasive options for accessible tumors. For deeper or larger masses, surgical excision with adequate margins remains the gold standard. Preoperative biopsy and imaging guides surgical planning, ensuring complete tumor removal while preserving vital structures. Close adherence to a strict surgical protocol to prevent seeding of tumor cells, and, where possible, appropriate skin reconstruction techniques will improve cosmesis and outcome."

Four clinically approved SAVI cases were chosen for this digitization variability analysis. All patients were implanted with 6-1 SAVI device. Six experienced physicists independently digitized SAVI catheters. Plans utilizing significant peripheral loading were used for this study where SAVI catheters were near the chest wall and/or skin. After digitization was completed for each case by each physicist, the original clinical dwell times were copied over for comparison. This ensured that only variability among plans is the digitization of SAVI catheters by different users. The original plan that went through two physicists' checks and one physician's review was considered the ""ground truth"" plan to which all other plans were compared.

+1764,skin cancer,39266214,S100A9 and HMGB1 orchestrate MDSC-mediated immunosuppression in melanoma through TLR4 signaling.,"Immunotherapies for malignant melanoma are challenged by the resistance developed in a significant proportion of patients. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC), with their ability to inhibit antitumor T-cell responses, are a major contributor to immunosuppression and resistance to immune checkpoint therapies in melanoma. Damage-associated molecular patterns S100A8, S100A9, and HMGB1, acting as toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) and receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) ligands, are highly expressed in the tumor microenvironment and drive MDSC activation. However, the role of TLR4 and RAGE signaling in the acquisition of MDSC immunosuppressive properties remains to be better defined. Our study investigates how the signaling via TLR4 and RAGE as well as their ligands S100A9 and HMGB1, shape MDSC-mediated immunosuppression in melanoma."

Its diagnosis often faces delays due to its manifestation as an inconspicuous 'bruise-like' lesion in an otherwise asymptomatic individual, leading to a generally low index of suspicion for angiosarcoma. Here, we present a case of a man who presented to his general practitioner with an ecchymotic plaque on his forehead, initially thought to be benign. Over the subsequent 6 weeks, the lesion progressively enlarged and became ulcerated, prompting the patient to represent to his general practitioner. He was urgently referred to a dermatologist and a subsequent biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of cAS. Our presentation of this case serves as a reminder for physicians to maintain a high index of suspicion and low threshold for biopsy for patients with atraumatic ecchymotic lesions."
+1766,skin cancer,39265920,Impaired incorporation of fibronectin into the extracellular matrix during aging exacerbates the senescent state of dermal cells.,"Fibronectin (Fn) is a ubiquitous extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoprotein that acts as an ECM scaffold organizer and is essential in many biological functions, including tissue repair, differentiation or cancer dissemination. Evidence suggests that the amount of Fn changes during aging. However, how these changes influence the aging process remains unclear. This study aims to understand Fn influence on cell aging. First, we assess the relative level of Fn abundance in both different biopsies of skin donors and replicative senescence cellular model. In skin biopsies, we observed that Fn level decreases with aging in the reticular dermis, while its expression remains relatively stable in the papillary dermis, likely to sustain the dermis-epidermis junction. During replicative senescence, in BJ skin fibroblasts, while intracellular Fn increases, we found that secretion and Fn fibrils formation are less effective. Reduced Fn fibrils leads to disorganization of the ECM. This could be explained by the expression of different Fn isoforms observed in the secretome of senescent cells. Surprisingly, the knockdown of Fn delays the onset of senescence while cultivating cells onto a Fn-coated support promotes it. Taken together, these new insights on the role of Fn during aging may emerge new therapeutic strategies on aged-related diseases."

+1771,skin cancer,39264947,Growth on stiffer substrates impacts animal health and longevity in C. elegans.,"Mechanical stress is a measure of internal resistance exhibited by a body or material when external forces, such as compression, tension, bending, etc. are applied. The study of mechanical stress on health and aging is a continuously growing field, as major changes to the extracellular matrix and cell-to-cell adhesions can result in dramatic changes to tissue stiffness during aging and diseased conditions. For example, during normal aging, many tissues including the ovaries, skin, blood vessels, and heart exhibit increased stiffness, which can result in a significant reduction in function of that organ. As such, numerous model systems have recently emerged to study the impact of mechanical and physical stress on cell and tissue health, including cell-culture conditions with matrigels and other surfaces that alter substrate stiffness and ex vivo tissue models that can apply stress directly to organs like muscle or tendons. Here, we sought to develop a novel method in an in vivo model organism setting to study the impact of altering substrate stiffness on aging by changing the stiffness of solid agar medium used for growth of C. elegans. We found that greater substrate stiffness had limited effects on cellular health, gene expression, organismal health, stress resilience, and longevity. Overall, our study reveals that altering substrate stiffness of growth medium for C. elegans has only mild impact on animal health and longevity; however, these impacts were not nominal and open up important considerations for C. elegans biologists in standardizing agar medium choice for experimental assays."
+1772,skin cancer,39264808,Starvation-induced phosphorylation activates gasdermin A to initiate pyroptosis.,"Pyroptosis, a pro-inflammatory form of programmed cell death, is crucial for host defense against pathogens and danger signals. Proteolytic cleavage of gasdermin proteins B-E (GSDMB-GSDME) is well established as a trigger for pyroptosis, but the intracellular activation mechanism of GSDMA remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that severe starvation induces pyroptosis through phosphorylation-induced activation of GSDMA. Nutrient stresses stimulate GSDMA activation via phosphorylation mediated by Unc-51-like autophagy-activating kinase 1 (ULK1). Phosphorylation of Ser353 on human GSDMA by ULK1 or the phospho-mimetic Ser353Asp mutant of GSDMA liberates GSDMA from auto-inhibition, facilitating its membrane targeting and initiation of pyroptosis. To further validate the significance of GSDMA phosphorylation, we generated a constitutively active mutant Ser354Asp of mouse Gsdma, which induced skin inflammation and hyperplasia in mice, reminiscent of phenotypes with activated Gsdma. This study uncovers phosphorylation of GSDMA as a mechanism underlying pyroptosis initiation and cellular response to nutrient stress."

In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we examine the current body of literature concerning the use of statins as an adjunctive therapy in melanoma, Medline, EMBASE, CENTRAL, and PubMed were systematically searched from inception through to April 2023. Studies were included if they compared patients with melanoma receiving and not receiving statin therapy concurrently with their oncologic treatment in terms of long-term oncologic outcomes. The primary outcome was 5-year overall survival (OS). Meta-analyses was performed with DerSimonian and Laird random effects. Risk of bias was assessed with the ROBINS-I and GRADE was used to assess certainty of evidence. From 952 citations, eight non-randomized studies were identified. Included studies were conducted between 2007 and 2022. Random effects meta-analysis of adjusted hazard ratios from three studies suggested an improvement in 5-year OS with statin use with wide 95% confidence intervals (CIs) crossing the line of no effect (hazard ratio 0.87, 95% CI: 0.73-1.04, P  = 0.12, I2  = 95%, very-low certainty). Outcome reporting was heterogeneous across all other oncologic outcomes such that pooling of data was not possible. Risk of bias was serious for seven studies and moderate for one study. This systematic review of studies evaluating the impact of statin use on survival in patients with melanoma found a 13% reduction in risk of death at 5 years from diagnosis - a point estimate suggesting benefit. However, the wide 95% CIs and resultant type II error risk create significant uncertainty."

Numerous studies have substantiated the involvement of histone acetylation imbalance in the progression of diverse tumor types. The potential roles of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in improving prognostic, predictive as well as therapeutic approaches in cancers have made it a major hotspot in recent years. Nevertheless, existent studies have never concerned the prognostic and clinical value of histone acetylation-related lncRNAs (HARlncs) in GC. Based on the aforementioned rationale, we developed a prognostic model incorporating four HARlncs-AC114730.1, AL445250.1, LINC01778, and AL163953.1-which demonstrated potential as an independent predictor of prognosis. Subsequently, GC patients were stratified into high-risk and low-risk groups. The low-risk group exhibited significantly higher overall survival (OS) compared to the high-risk group. Based on the analyses of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and immune responses, significant differences were observed between the two risk groups in terms of immune cell infiltration, immune checkpoint (ICP) expression, and other TME alterations. Furthermore, the sensitivity of GC patients to some chemotherapeutic drugs and the discrepant biological behaviors of three tumor clusters were studied in this model. In summary, we developed an effective HARlncs model with the objective of offering novel prognostic prediction methods and identifying potential therapeutic targets for GC patients."

The patient initially underwent bilateral skin-sparing mastectomy and immediate subpectoral implant-base breast reconstruction. She had an uncomplicated postoperative recovery. However, three months later, she developed a severe and persistent local infection during adjuvant chemotherapy, resulting in the loss of the breast implants and the formation of massive deforming scars in the chest area. To address this, the patient underwent a series of reconstructive procedures. Lipofilling was used on the chest wall to improve skin quality, followed by a late bilateral transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap for breast reconstruction. Additionally, the final aesthetic result was enhanced by applying a 3-D tattoo.

Manifestations of various conditions such as infections, neoplasms, autoimmune, cardiovascular, and drug-induced diseases can bear resemblance to sarcoidosis. Coccidiosis, attributed to protozoan parasites of the Coccidia genus, primarily affects the intestinal tract but may also display systemic symptoms akin to those of sarcoidosis. In this particular case, we present a 46-year-old immunocompetent gentleman who had an extensive disease despite the patient's well-controlled diabetes and absence of residency in an endemic area with fungal infection, his only pertinent part of the history was his travel to endemic areas for short periods that raised the possibility of thinking about the disseminated fungal infection. The patient's symptoms initially attributed to and treated as sarcoidosis, which later did not respond to steroids, led us to consider other potential causes, including systemic fungal infection  Misdiagnosis of the sarcoidosis bears the risk of inappropriate treatment, potentially leading to exacerbated patient outcomes.

She had previously been diagnosed with eczema and treated with antihistamines and topical steroids without improvement. She also noted fatigue, hair loss, and severe scalp pruritus. Physical examination was notable for violaceous periorbital edema, scaly erythematous papules on the metacarpophalangeal joints of bilateral hands, dilated capillaries of the proximal nail folds, scaly plaques on bilateral elbows, and excoriated erythematous plaques on upper chest, back and hips. The patient reported no muscle weakness, and strength testing and creatinine phosphokinase were normal. Magnetic resonance imaging of the thigh showed no evidence of inflammation or edema. Antibody testing was negative. A diagnosis of clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis was made. Computed tomography scans of the chest, abdomen and pelvis, colonoscopy, and mammogram showed no evidence of cancer. The patient was initiated on methotrexate. Her cutaneous manifestations persisted with debilitating intractable pruritus, and thus, she was transitioned to mycophenolate mofetil, again with minimal improvement. Intravenous immunoglobulin was not approved by insurance given the lack of muscle involvement in her disease. This patient's case highlights a common clinical scenario in rheumatology and dermatology and raises several important issues related to the immunologic underpinnings of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) and dermatomyositis (DM): What is the role of type I interferon (IFN) in triggering skin disease in CLE and DM?

However, its strong hydrophobic nature, accompanied by issues such as poor solubility and limited tissue permeation, has created challenges for scientists to investigate its untapped potential in more complex conditions, including cancer progression. The present study assessed the potent anti-metastatic properties of a newly synthesized amphiphilic ethylene glycol SQ derivative (SQ-diEG) in melanoma, the most fatal skin cancer. In vitro and in vivo experiments have discovered that SQ-diEG may exert its potential on melanoma malignancy through the mitochondria-mediated caspase activation apoptotic signaling pathway. The potent anti-metastatic effect of SQ-diEG was observed in vitro using highly proliferative and aggressive melanoma cells. Administration of SQ-diEG (25 mg/kg) significantly decreased the tumor burden on the lung and inhibited the metastasis-associated proteins and gene markers in B16F10 lung colonization mice model. Furthermore, global gene profiling also revealed a promising role of SQ-diEG in tumor microenvironment.

We perform PheWAS, polygenic risk score analysis, and one-sample and two-sample Mendelian randomization analyses to investigate the potential causal associations between psoriasis and cancers. In the unselected PheWAS analysis, psoriasis is associated with higher risks of 16 types of cancer. Using one-sample Mendelian randomization analyses, it is found that genetically predicted psoriasis is associated with higher risks of anal canal cancer, breast cancer, follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer in women; and lung cancer and kidney cancer in men. Our two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis indicates that psoriasis is causally associated with breast cancer and lung cancer.

This includes not only hematologic malignancies and solid tumors but also cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) originating within the HS lesions. The development of SCC is most commonly associated with Caucasian men who smoke and have severe gluteal or perianal lesions of more than 25 years. Other factors that have occasionally been associated with HS-related SCC include treatment with a tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitor (such as infliximab and adalimumab), genodermatoses (such as keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome and Dowling-Degos disease), and paraneoplastic syndromes (such as hypercalcemia, hypercalcemia-leukocytosis, and paraneoplastic neuropathy). The tumor may demonstrate the presence of human papillomavirus; even after treatment, patients have a poor prognosis because cancer metastasis, recurrence, or both commonly occur. The potential role of human papillomavirus vaccination for cancer prevention and early treatment of SCC with targeted therapy (with an epidermal growth factor inhibitor such as cetuximab) and/or checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy (such as cemiplimab and pembrolizumab) remains to be determined. Rarely, HS lesions have mimicked cutaneous metastases in patients with visceral malignancy by demonstrating an increased uptake of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose on positron emission tomography and/or computed tomography scans. Primary cancers (such as cutaneous SCC and mucinous adenocarcinoma) and breast cancer skin metastases can masquerade as HS lesions. When a lesion is located at a current or earlier site of HS that is new or rapidly growing and/or does not respond to HS-directed therapy, prompt evaluation to establish or exclude the diagnosis of cancer should be considered."

In the past decade, robust variable selection methods have emerged as powerful alternatives to the nonrobust ones to identify important genes associated with heterogeneous disease traits and build superior predictive models. In this study, to keep the remarkable features of the quantile LASSO and fully Bayesian regularized quantile regression while overcoming their disadvantage in the analysis of high-dimensional genomics data, we propose the spike-and-slab quantile LASSO through a fully Bayesian spike-and-slab formulation under the robust likelihood by adopting the asymmetric Laplace distribution (ALD). The proposed robust method has inherited the prominent properties of selective shrinkage and self-adaptivity to the sparsity pattern from the spike-and-slab LASSO (Roc̆ková and George, J Am Stat Associat, 2018, 113(521): 431-444). Furthermore, the spike-and-slab quantile LASSO has a computational advantage to locate the posterior modes via soft-thresholding rule guided Expectation-Maximization (EM) steps in the coordinate descent framework, a phenomenon rarely observed for robust regularization with nondifferentiable loss functions. We have conducted comprehensive simulation studies with a variety of heavy-tailed errors in both homogeneous and heterogeneous model settings to demonstrate the superiority of the spike-and-slab quantile LASSO over its competing methods. The advantage of the proposed method has been further demonstrated in case studies of the lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD) and skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)."

The β-cyclodextrin-grafted methacrylic acid conjugated hyaluronic acid composite nanogel was successfully synthesized. β-Cyclodextrin was first grafted onto methacrylic acid. The composite nanogel-based drug carrier was prepared by controlled radical polymerization (CRP) of β-cyclodextrin-grafted methacrylic acid with hyaluronic acid. The doxorubicin-loaded carrier was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, zeta potential analysis, dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The drug loading and release efficiencies were carried out at different pH levels. The maximum drug loading and encapsulation efficiencies of the synthesized final nanogel composite material at pH 8.0 were 86.44 ± 2.12 and 96.07 ± 2.01%, respectively. The DOX-loaded final material showed a 90.0 ± 2.6% release percentage of DOX at pH 5.5, whereas at pH 7.4, the release percentage of DOX was observed to be only 35.0 ± 0.3%. "

TC often has nonspecific clinical manifestations and its aggressive nature is frequently overlooked. Metastasis of TC is rarely reported and there is no standard treatment for recurrent or metastatic TC. We report a complicated case of TC arising from the parotid gland with metastasis to cervical lymph nodes. The tumor progressed after multiple surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy. Finally, the patient achieved good response and disease control with pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor targeting programmed cell death protein-1. Currently, the patient has received 19 cycles of pembrolizumab and the disease remains well controlled. This represents the first reported use of immune checkpoint blockade to treat TC."

Despite prior studies identifying risk factors, mortality remains high. Understanding additional risk factors may aid in reducing mortality in this population. This study aimed to investigate risk factors and predictive variables for metastatic cSCC in SOTRs. The primary goal was to accurately identify transplant patients at increased risk of metastatic cSCC. A retrospective case-control study in a single institution of 3576 cases of organ transplants were identified from January 1991 to July 2022. A cohort of metastatic cancer patients and two randomly generated age and organ matched control cohorts were identified. 16 SOTR patients developed metastatic cSCC. The majority were male, with high-risk tumor sites. Tumor depth varied and half exhibited perineural invasion. Cylex® (p = 0.05) and white blood cell counts (p = 0.04) were significantly lower in these patients compared to control. Lung transplants were at highest risk relative to other solid organ transplants. Voriconazole exposure was also associated with increased metastatic risk (p = 0.04). Small sample size at a single institution. Close monitoring of SOTR, especially those with lung transplants given their increased risk, reducing immunosuppression, and limiting exposure to voriconazole can improve outcomes in SOTRs with metastatic cSCC."

This study aims to assess the incidence and types of malignancies in morphea patients, comparing demographics, clinical characteristics, treatments, and outcomes between those with and without malignancy. We conducted a retrospective study of 204 morphea patients treated at Rabin Medical Center between 2012 and 2023. Data on demographics, clinical subtypes, comorbidities, treatments, and outcomes were collected. Patients were categorized based on malignancy status and the timing of malignancy relative to their morphea diagnosis. Among the 204 patients (154 women and 50 men, mean age 53.7 ± 20 years), 47 (23%) developed malignancies. In 29 patients (61.7%), malignancy occurred before the onset of morphea; in 23 patients (48.9%), it occurred after morphea. Five patients (10.6%) had malignancies both before and after the diagnosis of morphea. Patients with malignancy were significantly older than those without (64.7 ± 15.1 years vs. 50.3 ± 20 years, p < 0.0001). The all-cause mortality rate was higher in the malignancy group compared to those without malignancy (23.4% vs. 3.8%, p = 0.00002). Moreover, mortality was higher in patients whose malignancy occurred after morphea than in those whose malignancy preceded morphea (26% vs. 17.2%). The most common post-morphea malignancies in our cohort included non-melanoma skin cancer, cervical cancer, breast cancer, stomach cancer, and lung cancer. The most common pre-morphea malignancies included breast cancer, non-melanoma skin cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. This study suggests potential associations between morphea and malignancies, influenced by patient age, sequence of diagnosis, and treatment regimens. Further control studies are needed to explore these relationships more definitively."

Although several studies have indicated that fatty acid mitochondrial oxidation is critical for immune cell functions, contradictory findings have been reported. Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II (CPT2) is a critical enzyme for long-chain fatty acid oxidation in mitochondria. In this study, we test the requirement of CPT2 for humoral immunity using a mouse model with a lymphocyte-specific deletion of CPT2. Stable [13C] isotope tracing reveals highly reduced fatty acid-derived citrate production in CPT2-deficient B cells. Yet, CPT2 deficiency has no significant impact on B cell development, B cell activation, germinal center formation, and Ab production upon either thymus-dependent or -independent Ag challenges. Together, our findings indicate that CPT2-mediated fatty acid oxidation is dispensable for humoral immunity, highlighting the metabolic flexibility of lymphocytes."

+1810,skin cancer,39257958,Arginine-solubilized lipoic acid-induced β-sheets of silk fibroin-strengthened hydrogel for postoperative rehabilitation of breast cancer.,"Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, and adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) following tumor removal is one of the most commonly used treatments for breast cancer. However, the high risk of tumor recurrence and inevitable radiation skin injury after RT remain fatal problems, seriously challenging the patient's postoperative rehabilitation. Herein, a multifunctional poly (lipoic acid)-based hydrogel is constructed through one-step heating the mixture of α-lipoic acid (LA)/arginine (Arg)/silk fibroin (SF), without introducing any non-natural molecules. The multiple synergistic interactions among LA, Arg, and SF not only enhance the solubilization of LA in aqueous systems but also stabilize poly(lipoic acid) through strong salt bridge hydrogen bonds and ionic hydrogen bonds. Intriguingly, the LA-based surfactant induced β-sheet transformation of SF can further modulate the bulk strength of the hydrogel. Regulating the content of LA in hydrogels not only allows efficient control of hydrogel bioactivity but also enables the evolution of hydrogels from injectable forms to adhesive patches. Based on the different biological activities and forms of hydrogels, they can be implanted internally or applied externally on the mice's skin, achieving simultaneous prevention of tumor recurrence post-surgery and assistance in treating radiation-induced skin damage after radiotherapy."

The broad spectrum of phenotypes associated with DSDs requires accurate diagnosis, which influences the care and quality of life of affected patients. The decreasing costs of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and international research collaborations in rare diseases have allowed the identification of new genes associated with DSDs. Recently, Hughes et al. in 2020 reported the association of loss-of-function (LoF) variants in PPP1R12A with morphological anomalies of the midline, including holoprosencephaly and urogenital malformations, also known as genitourinary and/or brain malformation syndrome (OMIM #618820).

According to data from the World Health Organization, it stands as the most prevalent form of cancer within the white population. Current treatments for skin cancer typically involve a combination of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. However, these methods often come with drawbacks, such as side effects and potential scarring. Therefore, there is a growing need for alternative treatments that can offer effective results with fewer adverse effects, driving ongoing research in skin cancer therapy. The advancement of immune checkpoint inhibitors has been facilitated by a more profound comprehension of the interplay between tumors and the immune system, along with the regulatory mechanisms governing T-cells. As cancer treatment continues to evolve, immunotherapy is emerging as a powerful strategy, leading to a growing interest in the role of immunological checkpoints in skin cancer. Various types of immune checkpoints and their expression, including PD-1, PDL-1, CTLA-4, lymphocyte activation gene 3, and B7-H3, along with their blockers and monoclonal antibodies, have been established for various cancers. PD-1, PDL-1, and CTLA-4 are crucial immune system regulators, acting as brakes to prevent T-- cell overactivation and potential autoimmunity. However, tumors can exploit these checkpoints to evade immune detection. Inhibiting these immune checkpoints can enhance the body's ability to recognize and attack cancer cells. This review focuses on the characteristics of PD-1, PDL-1, and CTLA-4 immune checkpoints, their mechanism of action, and their role in skin cancer. Additionally, it summarizes the ongoing clinical trials sponsored or conducted by various pharmaceutical companies and provides insights into the latest patent data."

We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 406,504 individuals in the UK Biobank, identifying 430 loci affecting kidney function in middle-aged adults. To investigate the cell types affected by these loci, we integrated the GWAS with human kidney candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) identified using single-cell assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (scATAC-seq). Overall, 56% of kidney function heritability localized to kidney tubule epithelial cCREs and an additional 7% to kidney podocyte cCREs. Thus, most heritable differences in adult kidney function are a result of altered gene expression in these two cell types. Using enhancer assays, allele-specific scATAC-seq and machine learning, we found that many kidney function variants alter tubule epithelial cCRE chromatin accessibility and function. Using CRISPRi, we determined which genes some of these cCREs regulate, implicating NDRG1, CCNB1 and STC1 in human kidney function."

Disposable diapers commonly exhibit higher concentrations of VOCs, PAEs, BPs, and heavy metals than other chemicals. Our estimation reveals formaldehyde as posing the highest dermal exposure dose, reaching up to 0.018 mg/kg bw/day. Conversely, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) exhibits lower exposure, but its non-cancer hazard quotient (0.062) is the highest. In most scenarios, the risk of chemical exposure through diapers for infants is deemed acceptable, while the risk is higher under some extreme exposure scenarios.

However, the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) within the melanoma tumor microenvironment (TME) has remained unexplored in the context of aging. While the size and morphology of the EVs isolated from young vs. aged fibroblasts remained unaltered, the contents of the protein cargo were changed. Aging reduced the expression of the tetraspanin CD9 in both the dermal fibroblasts and released EVs. CD9 is a crucial regulator of EV cargo sorting. Modulating the CD9 expression in fibroblasts was sufficient to alter its levels in EVs. Mass spectrometry analysis of EVs released by CD9 knockdown (KD) vs. control cells revealed a significant increase in angiopoietin-like protein 2 (ANGPTL2), an angiogenesis promoter. Analysis of primary endothelial cells confirmed increased sprouting under CD9 KD conditions.

+1828,skin cancer,39254838,Genetic basis and imaging findings of neurofibromatosis 1 and other somatic overgrowth disorders.,"Somatic overgrowth disorders comprise a wide range of rare conditions that present with focal enlargement of one or more tissue types. The PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway is a signalling pathway that induces angiogenesis and cell proliferation, and is one of the most commonly overactivated signalling pathways in cancer. The PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway can be up-regulated by genetic variants that code for proteins in this pathway, or down-regulated by proteins that inhibit the pathway. Mosaic genetic variations can result in cells that proliferate excessively in specific anatomical locations. The PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) disorders include CLOVES syndrome, macrodystrophia lipomatosa, and Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome among many. The neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene encodes neurofibromin which down-regulates the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway. Thousands of pathological variants in the NF1 gene have been described which can result in lower-than-normal levels of neurofibromin and therefore up-regulation of the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway promoting cellular overgrowth. Somatic overgrowth is a rare presentation in NF1 with a wide range of clinical and radiological presentations. Hypertrophy of all ectodermal and mesodermal elements has been described in NF1 including bone, muscle, fat, nerve, lymphatics, arteries and veins, and skin. The shared signalling pathway for cellular overgrowth means that these radiological appearances can overlap with other conditions in the PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum. The aim of this review is to describe the genetic basis for the radiological features of NF1 and in particular compare the appearances of the somatic overgrowth disorders in NF1 with other conditions in the PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum."

Among these, melanoma and keratinocyte cancers (KC), comprising squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC), are predominant. Retinol, a vitamin A derivative, is essential in the regulation of growth and differentiation of epidermal cells. Moreover, retinol exhibits antioxidant properties, protecting the skin against ultra-violet (UV) radiation induced oxidative damage. Existing research on the impact of retinol on melanoma, SCC and BCC development shows mixed results. Several dietary intake studies have suggested that higher retinol levels reduce skin cancer risk, however, others have failed to find this association. We used two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to explore if there is a causal relationship between retinol and the risk of developing melanoma, SCC or BCC. Genetically predicted circulating retinol levels were obtained from a genome wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of the INTERVAL (N=11,132) and METSIM (N=6,136) cohorts. Melanoma (30,134 cases and 375,188 controls), SCC (10,557 cases and 537,850 controls) and BCC (36,479 cases and 540,185 controls) risks were derived from published GWAS meta-analyses.

Although novel therapies have improved the survival of primary melanoma patients over the past decade, the overall survival rate for metastatic melanoma remains low. In addition to traditional prognostic factors such as Breslow thickness, ulceration, and mitotic rate, novel genetic and molecular markers have been investigated. In our study, we analyzed the expression of G-protein coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1) and the endodomain of collagen XVII (COL17) in relation to clinicopathological factors in primary cutaneous melanomas with known lymph node status in both sexes, using immunohistochemistry. We found, that GPER1 expression correlated with favorable clinicopathological factors, including lower Breslow thickness, lower mitotic rate and absence of ulceration. In contrast, COL17 expression was associated with poor prognostic features, such as higher tumor thickness, higher mitotic rate, presence of ulceration and presence of regression. Melanomas positive for both GPER1 and COL17 had significantly lower mean Breslow thickness and mitotic rate compared to cases positive for COL17 only. Our data indicate that GPER1 and COL17 proteins may be of potential prognostic value in primary cutaneous melanomas."

We show that both bone-marrow- and skin-derived MSCs can transport the dNP-Ce6 complex inside tumor spheroids, which is challenging to accomplish by passive delivery alone. MSCs deliver the dNP-Ce6 complex across the tumor spheroid, facilitating more effective photodynamic damage and tumor destruction than passively accumulated dNP-Ce6. The dNP-Ce6 complex also provides the built-in ability to monitor the MSC migration without causing undesired phototoxicity, which is essential for maximal and side-effect-free delivery of nanoparticles. Our results demonstrate how MSCs can be used as delivery vehicles for the transportation of the dNP-Ce6 complex, addressing the limitations of passive nanoparticle delivery and providing light-based theranostics."

In Poland, approximately 1500 cases of melanoma are detected annually in advanced or metastatic stages. Intensive preventive measures can contribute to its early-stage diagnosis, consequently reducing the number of fatalities. The aim of the study was to assess the occurrence of melanoma risk factors among the residents of Silesia region and their knowledge about the diagnosis and prevention of this cancer. An original questionnaire was used in the study, and its completion was anonymous. The study was conducted among the residents of the Silesian Voivodeship. A total of 400 (100%) individuals were examined. Among them were 243 women and 157 men. The participants' ages ranged from 16 to 84 years (mean age = 34.38 ± 18.39). The participants were burdened with melanoma development risk factors such as fair skin complexion (235; 58.75%), having more than 50 pigmented lesions (158; 39.50%) and sunburns (105; 26.25%). Over 40% (166; 41.50%) of the participants had never examined their pigmented lesions. A staggering 78% (311; 77.75%) of the respondents had never undergone dermatoscopic examination, and over 50% (215; 53.75%) did not know what this examination entailed. Just under 16% (63; 15.75%) of the participants stated that their family doctor had examined their pigmented lesions, and almost % (154; 97.47%) of those with numerous pigmented lesions had never been referred to a dermatologist for dermatoscopy. The surveyed residents of the Silesian Voivodeship were burdened with numerous risk factors for melanoma development, with the most common being fair skin complexion, having more than 50 pigmented lesions, and sunburns. The knowledge of the participants regarding the diagnosis and prevention of melanoma development was insufficient, thus highlighting the necessity for conducting systematic educational initiatives in the mentioned field. These initiatives should ultimately lead to the preservation of health and life, as well as the maintenance of its high quality."
+1842,skin cancer,39252325,Construction of a prognostic risk model for uveal melanoma based on immune-related long noncoding RNA.,"Uveal melanoma (UM) is a common health challenge worldwide as a prevalent intraocular malignancy because of its high mortality rate. However, clinical workers do not have an accurate prognostic tool now. Immune function is closely related to tumor development. Interestingly, researchers have identified that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are tightly associated with biological processes at the cellular level, particularly their involvements in immune response and its regulation of the growth of tumor cells. Hence, lncRNAs may be involved in the progression of uveal melanoma. UM patients' RNA expression matrices were extracted from TCGA database. The targeted immune genes were filtered by weighted correlation network analysis and the immune-related lncRNAs with a high prognostic relevance were obtained by Cox regression analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis. Each sample was scored according to those lncRNA expression and divided into high-risk and low-risk group. We confirmed the sensitivity and independence of our risk model compared to the tumor mutation burden score. Finally, we demonstrated the clinical relevance of our model by examining its sensitivity to different drugs. The risk score based on our risk model was significantly independent of other clinical parameters in either univariate (hazard ratio = 109.852 [15.738-766.749], P value < .001) or multivariate (hazard ratio = 114.075 [15.207-855.735], P value < .001) analyses. The ROC curves of this model imply high predictive accuracy for 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival (1-year area under the curve [AUC] = 0.849, 3-years AUC = 0.848, and 5-years AUC = 0.761). Our study revealed that immune-related lncRNAs are significant in the clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of UM patients. We successfully constructed a lncRNA-based prognostic risk model which may serve as a future reference for the diagnosis and prognosis of UM. Based on this model we also validated the sensitivity of some cancer drugs, which has implications for the future immunotherapy and drug development."

From the NHANES dataset (2007-2018), we analyzed 4974 cancer survivors, investigating the prognostic significance of NLR for all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer-specific mortality. Survival outcomes were analyzed using Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier methods. Optimal NLR cutoffs were identified as 2.61 for differentiating the higher NLR group from lower NLR group. Elevated NLR levels significantly correlated with increased all-cause mortality (HR 1.11, 95% CI 1.07-1.14, P < 0.001) and cardiovascular mortality (HR 1.14, 95% CI 1.08-1.21, P < 0.001) in adjusted models. Subgroup analyses revealed that age, sex, smoking status, and hypertension significantly influence NLR's association with cardiovascular mortality. Specific cancers including breast, prostate, non-melanoma skin, colon and melanoma experience increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the higher NLR group compared to lower NLR group. Elevated NLR is a significant predictor of increased mortality in cancer patients, particularly for cardiovascular outcomes. These findings support that NLR acts as a pivotal prognostic tool with significant implications for clinical practice in the realm of cardio-oncology."
+1847,skin cancer,39251592,Local administration of regulatory T cells promotes tissue healing.,"Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are crucial immune cells for tissue repair and regeneration. However, their potential as a cell-based regenerative therapy is not yet fully understood. Here, we show that local delivery of exogenous Tregs into injured mouse bone, muscle, and skin greatly enhances tissue healing. Mechanistically, exogenous Tregs rapidly adopt an injury-specific phenotype in response to the damaged tissue microenvironment, upregulating genes involved in immunomodulation and tissue healing. We demonstrate that exogenous Tregs exert their regenerative effect by directly and indirectly modulating monocytes/macrophages (Mo/MΦ) in injured tissues, promoting their switch to an anti-inflammatory and pro-healing state via factors such as interleukin (IL)-10. Validating the key role of IL-10 in exogenous Treg-mediated repair and regeneration, the pro-healing capacity of these cells is lost when Il10 is knocked out. Additionally, exogenous Tregs reduce neutrophil and cytotoxic T cell accumulation and IFN-γ production in damaged tissues, further dampening the pro-inflammatory Mo/MΦ phenotype. Highlighting the potential of this approach, we demonstrate that allogeneic and human Tregs also promote tissue healing. Together, this study establishes exogenous Tregs as a possible universal cell-based therapy for regenerative medicine and provides key mechanistic insights that could be harnessed to develop immune cell-based therapies to enhance tissue healing."

CRC accounts for 8% of cancer-related deaths in the US alone.  The prevalence and incidence of CRC vary worldwide, with Australia and New Zealand having the highest incidence, followed by North America and Europe. Africa and South-Central Asia have the lowest incidence. Such a pattern only extrapolates that CRC incidence is attributed to dietary factors along with genetic and environmental factors. This condition also displays a strong correlation with increased age, with the maximum rate at the age above 75 years and the lowest below 40 years. Men are affected more than females. Blacks have the highest incidence, and Asian Pacific Islanders have the lowest. Screening is the process of looking for cancer in patients who have no symptoms. Several tests are available to screen for colorectal cancer. These tests can be divided into stool-based tests and visual exams. Any abnormal test result should be followed up with a colonoscopy.

Studies have shown that hypertension is associated with carcinogenesis. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a crucial regulatory system of blood pressure, fluid, and electrolyte homeostasis, which plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of hypertension, whose mechanism is relatively clear. Studies have indicated that RAAS also widely exists in cancer tissues of different systems, which can affect the risk of cancers by stimulating cancer angiogenesis, participating in cancer-related oxidative stress, and regulating cancer-related immunity. Therefore, inhibiting RAAS activity seems beneficial to decreasing the risk of cancers. As one of the most commonly used antihypertensive drugs, RAAS inhibitors have been widely used in clinical practice. However, the conclusions of clinical studies on the relationship between RAAS inhibitors and cancers are not entirely consistent, which has been widely concerned by clinicians. The latest findings suggest that while RAAS inhibitors may reduce the risk of digestive cancers, respiratory cancers, urological cancers, gynecological cancers, and skin cancers, ACEIs may increase the risk of lung cancer, endometrial cancer, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. This article comprehensively reviews animal experiments, clinical studies, and meta-analyses on the relationship between RAAS inhibitors and cancers, to provide references for related studies in the future."

These immune related adverse events (irAEs) often require steroid use and/or cessation of ICI therapy, which can both lead to cancer progression. Although irAEs are common, the detailed molecular and immune mechanisms underlying their development are still elusive.

We aimed to investigate whether the COVID-19 pandemic caused a delay in the hospital admissions of breast cancer patients and diagnosis of breast cancer, thus increasing the tumor size and the stage of the disease. Materials and methods Included in the study were patients who underwent breast cancer surgery between 01/03/2019 and 01/03/2020 (pre-COVID-19, first period) and between 01/03/2020 and 01/03/2021 (post-COVID-19, second period). Three hundred and seventy patients with enough details were included, and details were analyzed retrospectively. Tumor characteristics of pre-COVID-19 breast cancer patients were compared with the tumor characteristics of post-COVID-19 breast cancer patients. Demographics, preoperative diagnosis, tumor properties, surgical procedure (breast-conserving surgery, modified radical mastectomy, simple mastectomy, skin-sparing mastectomy), tumor size, total lymph node number, metastatic lymph node number, locally advanced disease, metastatic disease, and neoadjuvant therapy were evaluated. Results The mean tumor size increased significantly in the post-COVID-19 primary surgery group (p=0.005). There is no significant relationship between the pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 period and pT in the neoadjuvant received group (p>0.05). The presence of pT2+pT3+pT4 was statistically significantly higher in the post-COVID-19 primary surgery group (p=0.001). The mean value of metastatic lymph nodes dissected between pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 primary surgery groups increased significantly (p=0.010). Pericapsular extension was higher in the post-primary surgery group (p=0.002). Conclusion During the COVID-19 outbreak, breast cancer patients have difficulty accessing healthcare services and hesitate to apply to hospitals to fear contracting the COVID-19 disease. This situation has led to delays in diagnosing breast cancer patients, increased tumor size and pT grade, increased number of metastatic lymph nodes, pericapsular extension, and the resulting disease often appearing in advanced sizes and stages."

The tumor microenvironment (TME) also contains inflammatory cells, fibroblasts, the extracellular matrix (ECM), and soluble factors that all promote BC progression. In this sense, the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), a pleiotropic pro-inflammatory cytokine and an upstream regulator of the immune response, enhances breast tumorigenesis through escalating cancer cell proliferation, survival, angiogenesis, invasion, metastasis, and stemness, which then brings tumorigenic effects by activating key oncogenic signaling pathways and inducing immunosuppression. Against this background, this review was to summarize the current understanding of the MIF pathogenic mechanisms in cancer, particularly BC, and address the central role of this immunoregulatory cytokine in signaling pathways and breast tumorigenesis. Furthermore, different inhibitors, such as small molecules as well as antibodies (Abs) or small interfering RNA (siRNA) and their anti-tumor effects in BC studies were examined.

Although numerous treatments have been authorized in recent years, they often result in severe side effects and may not fully cure the disease. To combat this issue, immunotherapy has emerged as a promising approach for the prevention and treatment of melanoma. Specifically, the use of epitope melanoma vaccine, a subset of immunotherapy, has recently gained attention. The aim of this study was to create a multi-epitope melanoma vaccine using immunoinformatic methods. Two well-known antigens, NYESO-1 and MAGE-C2, were selected due to their strong immunogenicity and high expression in melanoma. To enhance the immunogenicity of the peptide vaccine, Brucella cell-surface protein 31 (BCSP31), the G5 domain of resuscitation-promoting factor B (RpfB) adjuvants, and the helper epitope of pan HLADR-binding epitope (PADRE) were incorporated to vaccine construct. These different segments were connected with suitable linkers and the resulting vaccine structure was evaluated for its physicochemical, structural, and immunological properties using computational tools. The designed vaccine was found to have satisfactory allergenicity, antigenicity, and physicochemical parameters. Additionally, a high-quality tertiary structure of the vaccine was achieved through modeling, refinement, and validation. Docking and molecular dynamics studies showed that the vaccine had a stable and appropriate interaction with the cognate TLR2 and TLR4 receptors during the simulation period. Finally, in silico immune simulation analysis revealed a significant increase in the levels of helper and cytotoxic T cells, as well as the cytokines interferon-gamma and interleukin-2, after repeated exposure to the melanoma vaccine. These results suggest that the designed vaccine has the potential to be an effective therapeutic option for melanoma. However, additional in vitro and in vivo validations are crucial to assess real-world efficacy and safety."

This retrospective cohort study included consecutive prostate cancer patients who underwent LRP treatment at Wuhan Union Hospital from June 2, 2016, to September 7, 2023. PPATT was defined as the thickness of periprostatic fat and was obtained by measuring the shortest vertical distance from the pubic symphysis to the prostate on the midsagittal T2-weighted MR images. Subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness (SATT) was obtained by measuring the shortest vertical distance from the pubic symphysis to the skin at the same slice with PPATT. The primary outcome of the study was biochemical recurrence (BCR), and the secondary outcome was overall survival (OS). Multivariable Cox regression analysis was used to identify independent prognostic factors for prostate cancer survival and prognosis. Based on the optimal cutoff value, 162 patients were divided into a low PPATT/SATT group (n = 82) and a high PPATT/SATT group (n = 80). During the entire follow-up period (median 23.5 months), 26 patients in the high PPATT/SATT group experienced BCR (32.5%), compared to 18 in the low PPATT/SATT group (22.0%). Kaplan-Meier curve analysis indicated that the interval to BCR was significantly shorter in the high PPATT/SATT group (P = 0.037). Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that an increase in the PPATT/SATT ratio was associated with BCR (hazard ratio: 1.90, 95% CI, 1.03-3.51; P = 0.040). The PPATT/SATT ratio is a significant independent risk factor for BCR after LRP for prostate cancer patients."

In this study, we found histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27) demethylated by an inhibitor of histone methyltransferase EZH2 could epigenetically reverse the resistance to chemo-drug paclitaxel (PTX), or enhance the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor anti-TIGIT via downregulating TIGIT ligand CD155. Next, to address the complexity in the combination of multiple bioactive molecules with distinct therapeutic properties, we developed a polysaccharides-based organohydrogel (OHG) configured with a heterogenous network. Therein, hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPC)-stabilized emulsions for hydrophobic drug entrapment were crosslinked with oxidized dextran (Odex) to form a hydrophilic gel matrix to facilitate antibody accommodation, which demonstrated a tunable sustained release profile by optimizing emulsion/gel volume ratios. As results, local injection of OHG loaded with EZH2 inhibitor UNC1999, PTX and anti-TIGIT did not only synergistically enhance the cytotoxicity of PTX, but also reprogrammed the immune resistance via bi-directionally blocking TIGIT/CD155 axis, leading to the recruitment of cytotoxic effector cells into tumor and conferring a systemic immune memory to prevent lung metastasis.

The medical records of 34 patients who received treatment for metastasis in the parotid gland over a twenty-year period were evaluated. Patients with head and neck cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (HNcSCC) metastasis were retrospectively reclassified using the P/N and N1S3 staging system. Patients with neck metastasis showed a significantly poorer prognosis (P = 0.025). Univariate analysis also revealed that extent of parotidectomy and type of neck dissection did not influence recurrence free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). When comparing the usefulness of the P/N and S1N3 staging systems, a positive correlation was observed between the P stage and the N1S3 stage in both RFS and OS. The extent of parotidectomy and concomitant neck dissection is still under discussion. Total parotidectomy and modified radical neck dissection did not improve RFS and OS.

+1883,skin cancer,39243764,Sex-dependent effects in the aged melanoma tumor microenvironment influence invasion and resistance to targeted therapy.,"There is documented sex disparity in cutaneous melanoma incidence and mortality, increasing disproportionately with age and in the male sex. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. While biological sex differences and inherent immune response variability have been assessed in tumor cells, the role of the tumor-surrounding microenvironment, contextually in aging, has been overlooked. Here, we show that skin fibroblasts undergo age-mediated, sex-dependent changes in their proliferation, senescence, ROS levels, and stress response. We find that aged male fibroblasts selectively drive an invasive, therapy-resistant phenotype in melanoma cells and promote metastasis in aged male mice by increasing AXL expression. Intrinsic aging in male fibroblasts mediated by EZH2 decline increases BMP2 secretion, which in turn drives the slower-cycling, highly invasive, and therapy-resistant melanoma cell phenotype, characteristic of the aged male TME. Inhibition of BMP2 activity blocks the emergence of invasive phenotypes and sensitizes melanoma cells to BRAF/MEK inhibition."

Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is generally classified into three main categories: acute cutaneous lupus (ACLE), subacute cutaneous lupus (SCLE), and chronic cutaneous lupus (CCLE). The current therapeutic guidelines for CLE include counseling patients on general measures and medication regimens. Treatment options include optimized photoprotection, avoidance of environmental triggers, corticosteroids, topical and systemic immunomodulators, and antimalarials. To date, no biologic medications (i.e., monoclonal antibodies [mAbs]) are approved for CLE. The first monoclonal antibody, belimumab, a B-lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS)-specific inhibitor, for the treatment of both systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and active lupus nephritis, was approved in 2011 and 2020, respectively. Anifrolumab, a type I interferon (IFN) receptor antagonist, was approved in 2021 for SLE. Other mAbs with different targets, including a novel biologic that inhibits blood dendritic cell antigen 2 (BDCA2), are currently under investigation for CLE. This review will describe the general treatment landscape for CLE. Select studies related to these various mAbs, as well as their safety profiles and efficacies demonstrated in clinical trials, will be discussed.

Evidence suggests that THF exerts anticancer activity by distinct mechanisms of action. This study explores the anticancer potential of THF in human lung (A549) and skin (A431) cancer cells by employing different antiproliferative assays. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, neutral red uptake, sulphorhodamine B, and cell motility assays were used to confirm the anticancer potential of THF. Cell target-based and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assays were used to explore the effect of THF on the initiation, promotion and progression phase biomarkers of carcinogenesis. THF suppresses the activity of lipoxygenase-5 up to ~40% in both A549 and A431 cells and up to ~50% hyaluronidase activity in A549 cells. qRT-PCR assay reveals that THF inhibits the activity of phosphatidyl inositol-3 kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin in both cell lines, which is responsible for the initiation of cancer. It also arrests the G2/M phase of the cell cycle in A431 cells and increases the sub-diploid population in both A549 and A431 cell lines which leads to cell death. Annexin V-FITC assay confirmed that THF induces apoptosis and necrosis in A431 and A549 cell lines. Further investigation revealed that THF not only enhances reactive oxygen species production but also modulates mitochondrial membrane potential in both cell lines. It significantly inhibits S-180 tumour formation at 5 and 10 mg/kg bw, i.p. dose. An acute skin toxicity study on mice showed that erythema and edema scores are within the acceptable range, besides acceptable drug-likeness properties and non-toxic effects on human erythrocytes. Conclusively, THF showed potent anticancer activity on skin and lung carcinoma cell lines, suppressed the level of the biomarkers and inhibited tumour growth in mice."

Early detection of suspicious skin lesions (melanoma) can increase 5-year survival rates by 20%. The 7-point checklist (7PCL) has been extensively used to suggest urgent referrals for patients with a possible melanoma. However, the 7PCL method only considers seven meta-features to calculate a risk score and is only relevant for patients with suspected melanoma. There are limited studies on the extensive use of patient metadata for the detection of all skin cancer subtypes. This study investigates artificial intelligence (AI) models that utilise patient metadata consisting of 23 attributes for suspicious skin lesion detection. We have identified a new set of most important risk factors, namely ""C4C risk factors"", which is not just for melanoma, but for all types of skin cancer. The performance of the C4C risk factors for suspicious skin lesion detection is compared to that of the 7PCL and the Williams risk factors that predict the lifetime risk of melanoma.

Our group recently published a development of a clinical pipeline for delabeling penicillin allergies in adult patients planned to undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). In this retrospective cohort study, we followed patients to evaluate their outcomes during inpatient admission for HSCT. We hypothesized that, among patients planned for HSCT with a self-reported penicillin allergy, completing penicillin allergy testing (amoxicillin ingestion challenge with or without concomitant penicillin skin testing) prior to HSCT admission would be associated with differences in inpatient treatment for febrile neutropenia (including antibiotic selection and timing of antibiotic administration) and improved inpatient resource utilization (including nursing and inpatient physician consults). We identified patients with a self-reported penicillin allergy who answered a penicillin allergy questionnaire and were subsequently admitted to our institution for HSCT. We divided the cohort into 2 groups: patients whose penicillin allergy was evaluated prior to admission (EPTA) and patients whose penicillin allergy was not evaluated prior to admission (NEPTA). We then performed comparison between the 2 groups for general clinical outcomes of HSCT admission (duration of admission, need for ICU transfer, readmission rate, etc.), febrile neutropenia treatment, and inpatient resource utilization. Statistics were calculated using the nonparametric 2-tailed Fisher exact test for categorical outcomes and the nonparametric 2-tailed Mann-Whitney U test for numerical outcomes. Within our cohort, 35 patients completed penicillin allergy testing prior to HSCT admission (EPTA) and 44 patients did not (NEPTA). Demographics were similar between these groups, and there was no significant difference in the rate of febrile neutropenia during HSCT admission (EPTA 64% versus NEPTA 66%, P = 1.00). EPTA patients were significantly more likely to receive standard first-line antibiotics (cefepime or ceftazidime) for febrile neutropenia (EPTA 95% versus NEPTA 65%, P = .015) and time between febrile neutropenia onset and antibiotic administration was shorter (EPTA mean 66 mins versus NEPTA mean 121 mins, P = .0058). No patients in the EPTA group experienced an immediate hypersensitivity reaction (hives, anaphylaxis, etc.) or severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR) during HSCT admission. EPTA patients were also significantly less likely to require 1:1 nursing for antibiotic test doses, challenges, and desensitizations (EPTA 0% versus NEPTA 49%, P < .0001); less likely to require inpatient allergy consult (EPTA 0% versus NEPTA 12%, P = .031); and less likely to require inpatient antimicrobial stewardship consult (EPTA 0% versus NEPTA 13%, P = .013) during their HSCT admission. In summary, patients who completed penicillin allergy testing prior to HSCT admission were more likely to receive first-line antibiotics and received antibiotics more rapidly for treatment of febrile neutropenia. Furthermore, patients who completed penicillin allergy testing prior to HSCT admission were less likely to require 1:1 nursing, inpatient allergy consults, and inpatient antimicrobial stewardship consults during HSCT admission."

In current study, a tumor microenvironment modulatory hydrogel was successfully developed to treat melanoma by taking advantage of the synergistic effects of nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) with well-documented selective anti-tumor action, lactate dehydrogenase A inhibitor (R)-GNE-140 (GNE), and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) sensitive peptide. The hydrogel was acquired by the reaction of 4-arm-polyethylene glycol-maleic anhydride (4-arm-PEG-MAL) and MMP-2 sensitive peptide (CC-14), in which nHA and GNE were co-encapsulated physically. The in vitro degradation tests confirmed the accelerated release of nHA and GNE from the hydrogel under less-acidic (pH 6.8) and MMP-2 containing conditions compared to those neutral or without MMP-2 conditions, demonstrating the pH and MMP-2 responsive properties of as-prepared hydrogel. Findings from in vitro cell experiments revealed that the hydrogel could stop the proliferation of melanoma cells by stacking cell cycle via lactic acid metabolic dysregulation and boosting cell apoptosis via nHA direct killing effect. Moreover, after hydrogel treatment, the rate of migration and aggressiveness of melanoma cells both reduced significantly. An in vivo anti-melanoma study showed that the hydrogel could inhibit tumor growth significantly and result in more CD8"

Here, we demonstrate that both intrinsic and extrinsic factors imprint this dual identity. Using ablation of embryo-derived LCs in the murine adult skin and tracking differentiation of incoming monocyte-derived replacements, we found intrinsic intraepidermal heterogeneity. We observed that ontogenically distinct monocytes give rise to LCs. Within the epidermis, Jagged-dependent activation of Notch signaling, likely within the hair follicle niche, provided an initial site of LC commitment before metabolic adaptation and survival of monocyte-derived LCs. In the human skin, embryo-derived LCs in newborns retained transcriptional evidence of their macrophage origin, but this was superseded by DC-like immune modules after postnatal expansion. Thus, adaptation to adult skin niches replicates conditioning of LC at birth, permitting repair of the embryo-derived LC network."

Recurrence of squamous cell carcinoma at any site is estimated to be 15% to 50% and has been associated with greater rates of infiltration, perineural invasion, and mortality. Recent studies have shown lower-extremity squamous cell carcinoma to be distinct from squamous cell carcinoma at any site with histologic and clinical differences. Lower-extremity squamous cell carcinoma is suggestively less aggressive and carries less risk of metastasis. However, lower-extremity squamous cell carcinoma prevalence, mortality, and recurrence rates have not been extensively studied.

To our knowledge, all prior instances of BS have been identified via intentional analysis of patients with clinical suspicion for this disease or DNA testing of members of affected pedigrees. We describe an incidental finding of BS, which occurred upon routine germline DNA analysis of consecutive breast cancer patients. The person with the biallelic pathogenic BLM c.1642C>T (p.Gln548Ter) variant remained clinically healthy for 38 years until she developed breast cancer. Detailed examination of this woman, which was carried out after the genetic diagnosis, revealed mild features of BS. A sister chromatid exchange (SCE) test confirmed the presence of this syndrome. The tumor exhibited triple-negative receptor status, a high proliferation rate, a low tumor mutation burden (TMB), and a moderate level of chromosomal instability (homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) score = 29). The patient showed normal tolerability to radiotherapy and several regimens of cytotoxic therapy. Thus, some BS patients may remain undiagnosed due to the mild phenotype of their disease.

However, the interobserver agreement (IOA) of known image markers of keratinocyte carcinomas (KC), including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), as well as precursors, SCC in situ (CIS) and actinic keratosis (AK), remains unexplored. This study determined IOA on the presence or absence of 10 key LC-OCT image markers of KC and precursors, among evaluators new to LC-OCT with different levels of dermatologic imaging experience. Secondly, the frequency and association between reported image markers and lesion types, was determined. Six evaluators blinded to histopathologic diagnoses, assessed 75 LC-OCT images of KC (21 SCC; 21 BCC), CIS (12), and AK (21). For each image, evaluators independently reported the presence or absence of 10 predefined key image markers of KCs and precursors described in an LC-OCT literature review. Evaluators were stratified by experience-level as experienced (3) or novices (3) based on previous OCT and reflectance confocal microscopy usage. IOA was tested for all groups, using Conger's kappa coefficient (κ). The frequency of reported image marker and their association with lesion-types, were calculated as proportions and odds ratios (OR), respectively. Overall IOA was highest for the image markers lobules (κ = 0.68, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.57;0.78) and clefting (κ = 0.63, CI 0.52;0.74), typically seen in BCC (94%;OR 143.2 and 158.7, respectively, p < 0.001), followed by severe dysplasia (κ = 0.42, CI 0.31;0.53), observed primarily in CIS (79%;OR 7.1, p < 0.001). The remaining seven image-markers had lower IOA (κ = 0.06-0.32) and were more evenly observed across lesion types. The lowest IOA was noted for a well-defined (κ = 0.07, CI 0;0.15) and interrupted dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ) (κ = 0.06, CI -0.002;0.13). IOA was higher for all image markers among experienced evaluators versus novices. This study shows varying IOA for 10 key image markers of KC and precursors in LC-OCT images among evaluators new to the technology. IOA was highest for the assessments of lobules, clefting, and severe dysplasia while lowest for the assessment of the DEJ integrity."

It frequently presents a diagnostic challenge as many melanomas lack or contain scant melanin and may have a variable microscopic phenotype. Previous studies evaluating immunohistochemical markers for diagnosing melanoma have shown limited sensitivity and/or specificity for S-100, PNL2, melan A, TRP-1, TRP-2, and HMB-45. Sry-related HMG-box gene 10 (SOX-10) is a transcription factor associated with melanocytic, peripheral neural crest, and peripheral nervous system development. In humans, SOX-10 expression has been demonstrated in melanoma, breast carcinoma, glioma, and schwannoma, but has only recently been explored in veterinary species. In this study, 198 tumors comprised of 147 melanocytic neoplasms and 51 non-melanocytic neoplasms were evaluated by immunohistochemistry using a tissue microarray for SOX-10, PNL2, melan A, TRP-1, and TRP-2 expressions. The SOX-10 had the highest diagnostic sensitivity (96.7%) in melanomas. In addition, SOX-10 had the highest percentage (91.5%; 130/142) of melanomas label at least 75% of neoplastic cells. Of the 51 selected non-melanocytic tumors examined, SOX-10 labeling was observed in mammary carcinomas (6/6), gliomas (4/4), and oral soft tissue sarcomas (4/18). Of the 41 non-melanocytic oral neoplasms evaluated, SOX-10 had a specificity of 92.7%. Therefore, SOX-10 represents a useful immunohistochemical screening marker for the diagnosis of canine melanoma given its extremely high sensitivity and robust labeling intensity. The SOX-10 may have utility in diagnosing some non-melanocytic neoplasms in the dog, although this requires further investigation."

The reconstruction of the vermilion was accomplished using our modified flap technique in 114 patients, tongue flaps in two patients, and six patients, the flap's skin was folded to mimic the vermilion. Remarkably, no complications such as hematoma, necrosis, flap loss, infection, microstomia, or dribbling were encountered. The labial sulcus was found to be adequately formed. All patients achieved preoperative mouth opening within 3 months following surgery, with a mean oral sphincteric recovery time of 4.2 months. The color match of the reconstructed vermilion was excellent. Our modified fan flap technique stands as a dependable and robust choice for addressing moderate to large full-thickness lateral defects of the lower lip offering effective vermillion reconstruction in a single surgical procedure. The cases involving associated buccal mucosa or submucous fibrosis may necessitate alternative vermilion reconstruction approaches."

Chronic inflammation from residual disease and the risk of secondary infections impede healing. We introduce an innovative, injectable hydrogel system that integrates a multifaceted therapeutic approach. The hydrogel, crosslinked by calcium ions with sodium alginate, encapsulates a blood clot rich in dendritic cells (DCs) chemoattractants and melanoma cell-derived nanovesicles (NVs), functioning as a potent immunostimulant. This in situ recruitment strategy overcomes the limitations of subcutaneous tumor vaccine injections and more effectively achieves antitumor immunity. Additionally, the hydrogel incorporates Chlorella extracts, enhancing its antimicrobial properties to prevent wound infections and promote healing. One of the key findings of our research is the dual functionality of Chlorella extracts; they not only expedite the healing process of infected wounds but also increase the hydrogel's ability to stimulate an antitumor immune response. Given the patient-specific nature of the blood clot and NVs, our hydrogel system offers customizable solutions for individual postoperative requirements. This personalized approach is highlighted by our study, which demonstrates the synergistic impact of the composite hydrogel on preventing melanoma recurrence and hastening wound healing, potentially transforming postsurgical melanoma management."

New therapies, including the monoclonal antibody therapy dupilumab, offer excellent efficacy. However, in clinical trials, and emphasized in real-world observations, an unexpected increased frequency of ocular adverse effects has become apparent. The effectiveness of dupilumab and the unpredictability of ocular adverse effects mean that clinicians need guidance on counselling patients prior to treatment and on managing them if adverse effects arise. The British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) and Royal College of Ophthalmologists collaborated on this consensus guidance on managing dupilumab-related ocular surface disorders (DROSD). A multidisciplinary group was formed of adult and paediatric dermatologists and ophthalmologists with expertise in DROSD, patient representatives and the BAD Clinical Standards Unit. A literature search was conducted and the results reviewed. All recommendations were reviewed, discussed and voted on. The recommendations pertain to dermatology and ophthalmology management, and apply to people of all ages, unless otherwise stated. Importantly, initiation of dupilumab for AD should not be delayed for most eye disorders except acute new problems (e.g. infections) or potentially severe conditions (e.g. a history of corneal transplant; ophthalmology advice should be sought first). There is insufficient evidence to recommend lubricant drops prophylactically. Dermatologists should assess eye complaints to diagnose DROSD; a severity grading system is provided. DROSD management differs slightly in those aged < 7 years, as ocular complications may affect neuro-ocular development. Therefore, irrespectively of DROSD severity, this population should be referred for ophthalmology advice. In those aged ≥ 7 years, dermatologists should feel confident to trial treatment and reserve ophthalmology advice for severe or nonresponding cases. Discussion about dupilumab withdrawal should be prompted by a significant impact on quality of life, threat to sight, or other complications. Although dupilumab is a highly effective agent for treating AD, the risk of ocular adverse effects should not inhibit clinicians or patients from using it, but clinicians should be aware of them. If a patient develops DROSD, there are clear pathways to assess severity and offer initial management. Where this is ineffective, dermatologists should assess the urgency and seek advice from or initiate referral to ophthalmology. While the evidence reviewed for these guidelines reflects the extensive literature on dupilumab, we believe our advice has relevance for ocular surface disorders in patients with AD treated with tralokinumab and lebrikizumab."

Here, we developed an approach to reprogram tumor cells in vivo by adenoviral delivery of the transcription factors PU.1, IRF8, and BATF3, which enabled them to present antigens as type 1 conventional dendritic cells. Reprogrammed tumor cells remodeled their tumor microenvironment, recruited, and expanded polyclonal cytotoxic T cells; induced tumor regressions; and established long-term systemic immunity in multiple mouse melanoma models. In human tumor spheroids and xenografts, reprogramming to immunogenic dendritic-like cells progressed independently of immunosuppression, which usually limits immunotherapy.

The American Academy of Dermatology recommends excisional biopsy for suspicious skin lesions, however, partial shave biopsies are often performed, the impact of which is unknown in pediatric and adolescent/young adult (AYA) patients. The aim of this retrospective case series study was to evaluate the impact of the diagnostic biopsy method on staging, treatment, and treatment-related outcomes in pediatric/AYA patients with melanoma. Among 103 pediatric/AYA patients with atypical cutaneous melanocytic lesions, the most common biopsy method was partial shave (68/103, 66.0%) followed by punch (20/103, 19.4%), excisional (14/103, 13.6%), and incisional nonshave (1/103, 1%). Over half of all biopsies yielded a positive deep margin, reflecting compromised microstaging (56/103, 55.4%), the majority occurred following partial shave (52/56, 92.9%) compared with other techniques ( P  < 0.001). All 11 patients with wider surgical target margins of wide local excision and 8/9 patients with sentinel lymph node biopsy performed due to positive deep margin, underwent a partial shave biopsy ( P  = 0.05 and 0.32, respectively). Almost half of all patients who underwent partial shave biopsy had a clinically suspected abnormal melanocytic tumor prior to biopsy (31/68, 45.6%; P  = 0.03). Of 56 patients who had compromised microstaging, 17 (30.4%) had a diagnosis of melanoma ( P  = 0.17). Pediatric/AYA patients frequently undergo partial shave biopsy, which is associated with more invasive definitive surgical treatment due to compromised microstaging. These results may help optimize care of patients with cutaneous melanocytic tumors."

Only 1-4% of all salivary gland tumours manifest with metastasis. Carcinomas of the breast, lung, kidney and prostate are those primaries that may also potentially metastasize to salivary glands. Literature has documented several studies analysing metastatic tumours in the oral region. However, very little research work has been published to date to analyse solely the Breast cancer metastasizing to the salivary glands. Thus, this review was conducted to examine the published cases of Breast cancer metastasizing to salivary glands from March 1975 to March 2023. An electronic search of the published literature was performed without publication year limitation in PubMed/ Medline, Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Science Direct, Embase, and Research Gate databases, using mesh keywords like ('Breast cancer' OR 'Breast carcinoma') AND ('Metastasis' OR 'Metastases'), And ('Salivary glands' OR 'Parotid gland' OR 'Submandibular gland' OR 'Sublingual gland'). We also searched all related journals manually. The reference list of all articles was also checked. Our research revealed a total of 48 relevant papers with 55 patients. Parotid was the most predominantly affected salivary gland. 14.5% of patients died with a mean survival time of 7 months.

Melanocytes are completely surrounded by keratinocyte neighbors, with which they communicate through direct contact and paracrine signaling to maintain normal growth control and homeostasis. UV radiation from sunlight reshapes this communication network to drive a protective tanning response. However, repeated rounds of sun exposure result in accumulation of mutations in melanocytes that have been considered as primary drivers of melanoma initiation and progression. It is now clear that mutations in melanocytes are not sufficient to drive tumor formation-the tumor environment plays a critical role.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to find new precise therapeutic targets and to develop more effective drugs for the treatment of HCC. Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) is different from classic endothelium-dependent angiogenesis and is associated with a poor prognosis in patients with malignant tumor. However, the mechanism underlying VM is complex and not fully defined. Ig-like transcript (ILT)-4, as a negative regulator of immune response, is expressed in many solid tumors. However, whether and how ILT4 regulates VM remains unclear. This study found VM enriched in HCC tissues, especially in tissues from patients with relapse within 5 years after surgery. Similarly, ILT4 expression level was also higher in HCC tissues from patients with relapse within 5 years after surgery. Linear regression analysis revealed a positive correlation between the expression of ILT4 and VM density. Furthermore, overexpression/knockdown of ILT4 expression upregulated/down-regulated VM-related marker, three-dimensional tube formation, and migration and invasion in HCC cell lines in vitro. In mechanistic studies, ILT4 promoted VM formation via mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/ERK signaling.

It is the largest organ and serves as the first-line barrier against UV radiation, harmful substances, and infections. Skin cancer is considered the most prevalent type of cancer worldwide, while melanoma skin cancer is having high mortality rates. Skin cancer, including melanoma and non-melanoma forms, is primarily caused by prolonged exposure to UV sunlight and pollution. Currently, treatments for skin cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. However, several factors hinder the effectiveness of these treatments, such as low efficacy, the necessity for high concentrations of active components to achieve a therapeutic effect, and poor drug permeation into the stratum corneum or lesions. Additionally, low bioavailability at the target site necessitates high doses, leading to skin irritation and further obstructing drug absorption through the stratum corneum. To overcome these challenges, recent research focuses on developing a medication delivery system based on nanotechnology as an alternative to this traditional approach. Nano-drug delivery systems have demonstrated great promise in treating skin cancer by providing a more effective means of delivering drugs with better stability and drug absorption.

Although visual evaluation by dermatologists is considered the most reliable method, its efficacy is subjective and laborious. Deep learning-based computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) platforms have become valuable tools for supporting dermatologists. Nevertheless, current CAD tools frequently depend on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with huge amounts of deep layers and hyperparameters, single CNN model methodologies, large feature space, and exclusively utilise spatial image information, which restricts their effectiveness. This study presents SCaLiNG, an innovative CAD tool specifically developed to address and surpass these constraints. SCaLiNG leverages a collection of three compact CNNs and Gabor Wavelets (GW) to acquire a comprehensive feature vector consisting of spatial-textural-frequency attributes. SCaLiNG gathers a wide range of image details by breaking down these photos into multiple directional sub-bands using GW, and then learning several CNNs using those sub-bands and the original picture. SCaLiNG also combines attributes taken from various CNNs trained with the actual images and subbands derived from GW. This fusion process correspondingly improves diagnostic accuracy due to the thorough representation of attributes. Furthermore, SCaLiNG applies a feature selection approach which further enhances the model's performance by choosing the most distinguishing features. Experimental findings indicate that SCaLiNG maintains a classification accuracy of 0.9170 in categorising SC subcategories, surpassing conventional single-CNN models. The outstanding performance of SCaLiNG underlines its ability to aid dermatologists in swiftly and precisely recognising and classifying SC, thereby enhancing patient outcomes."

Unlike Brugada syndrome (BrS), which is an inherited channelopathy, BrP is not associated with an increased risk of malignant arrhythmia. BrP has been reported in severe metabolic disturbances (significant hyponatremia, hypokalemia or hyperkalemia), mechanical heart compression, coronary artery disease, pulmonary embolism and myocarditis/pericarditis. The authors described a case of a 69-year-old female whose Brugada-like ECG was atypically associated with only moderate hyponatremia (127 mmol/l). She was admitted due to a skin and subcutaneous tissue infection of the left shank and coexistent urinary tract infection (without a fever). She had the history of advanced melanoma with multiple liver metastases. Her cardiac history was negative, especially the patient has never suffered from ventricular arrhythmias. ECG on admission showed saddle-back ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads; however, the patient did not report any chest pain. Troponin I level and left ventricular function in echocardiography were normal while regional longitudinal strain in RV apex was decreased and showed post-systolic shortening. The substernal view revealed compression of the right ventricle (RV) by liver metastatic tumor. ECG changes disappeared quickly during natrium chloride supplementation and did not recur during hospitalization. This case illustrates that even moderate hyponatremia may be a reversible cause of BrP when other predisposing conditions (e.g. heart compression by tumor) coexist."

However, how it is involved in disease progression is not fully clear. We interrogated the interactome of Kv1.3 in intact cells using BioID proximity labeling, revealing that Kv1.3 interacts with STAT3- and p53-linked pathways. To prove the relevance of Kv1.3 and of its interactome in the context of tumorigenesis, we generated stable melanoma clones, in which ablation of Kv1.3 remodeled gene expression, reduced proliferation and colony formation, yielded fourfold smaller tumors, and decreased metastasis in vivo in comparison to WT cells. Kv1.3 deletion or pharmacological inhibition of mitochondrial Kv1.3 increased mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species release, decreased STAT3 phosphorylation, stabilized the p53 tumor suppressor, promoted metabolic switch, and altered the expression of several BioID-identified Kv1.3-networking proteins in tumor tissues. Collectively, our work revealed the tumor-promoting Kv1.3-interactome landscape, thus opening the way to target Kv1.3 not only as an ion-conducting entity but also as a signaling hub."

Further identification of some of these carcinogens in drugs as both phototoxic and genotoxic in turn defines concepts such as Drug-Mediated Nitroso-Photo Carcinogenesis. Its first formal representative was and remains at present Nitrosomorpholine (Nmor). Unfortunately, further data on the propensity of individual nitrosamines and/or their derivatives to absorb photons and generate phototoxicity are lacking. The simultaneous intake of a heterogeneous class of drugs in the context of Nitrosocontamination, now officially announced by regulators, makes the initiation of cutaneous carcinogenesis a perfectly possible scenario. Continuous, permanent intake of several types of carcinogens/mutagens or nitrosamines in the context of potential/or real Nitrosocontamination is probably able to activate certain oncogenes such as RAS oncogenes and neutralize certain tumor suppressor genes such as p53. We report another case of a female patient who developed over the years 3 high-risk basal cell carcinomas in the facial area in a stepwise fashion in the context of potentially contaminated drug treatment with ACE inhibitor/Ramipril/Beta blocker/bisoprolol/, anticoagulant/ rivaroxaban/ and folic acid. The possible role of Nitroso contamination in polymedication in the context of drug related Nitroso-Photocarcinogenesis for the triggering of multiple basal cell carcinomas is commented. The performed Mustardé rotation flap for the tumour near the lower eyelid was with optimal final reconstructive result.

The reason for this mystery lies in the concepts of photosensitivity and phototoxicity: how do they arise or what actually causes them? Recently published data in the medical literature link certain nitrosamines such as nitrosomorpholine, for example, to gene and phototoxicity in humans. A number of other nitrosamines analogous in action and structure are found as contaminants in about 300 of the most widely distributed pharmaceuticals worldwide: NDEA, NDMA, NMBA and many others. These contaminated drugs include beta blockers/ bisoprolol/, thiazide diuretics/ hydrochlorothiazide/, antiarrhythmics/ propafenone/, ACE inhibitors/ lisinopril/, but also a number of other drugs which are, according to the FDA, found to have contaminants with a certain carcinogenic potency ranging between 1 and 5. The phototoxicity and genotoxicity of these contaminants, attributed to the pathogenesis of skin tumors, still remain a mystery. The problems of the intake of the above-mentioned groups of drugs arise mainly on the basis of the official bulletins of the regulatory bodies, namely that: in practice, the intake of polymedication could in many cases also be considered as regular, permanent, long-term intake of contaminants/carcinogens/mutagens of heterogeneous type, also known as nitrosamines or NDSRIs. Nitrosamines are genome modifiers in humans and cause acquired mutations. Their concomitant administration in the context of standard, but currently not yet officially declared as contaminated polymedication, would be able to block certain tumor suppressor genes (p53) as well as activate RAS oncogenes. Or in practice- daily administration of a particular combination of drugs could activate the cascades of carcinogenesis regulating the genesis of skin cancer. Precisely because of this fact, it should not be surprising to anyone that the concurrent intake of the aforementioned drugs could also be associated with the clinical manifestation of multiple keratinocytic tumors. We describe a consecutive case of a patient who developed 4 keratinocytic tumors: 2 basal cell carcinomas, 1 keratoacanthoma, and 1 squamous cell carcinoma on a background of potentially contaminated polymedication with propafenone, lisinopril, hydrochlorothiazide, and bisoprolol. Recently published innovative international data on the topic are discussed in the context of concepts such as drug-mediated nitrosogenesis, photonitrosо-carcinogenesis and metabolic programming/ reprogramming of the tumor cell."

This review examines alternative nonsurgical treatment modalities in the context of these complexities, addressing the gaps in current guidelines and the varied efficacy of existing therapies. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases. The review focuses on peer-reviewed articles discussing nonsurgical treatment options for melanoma in complex anatomical locations. Articles were screened by three independent researchers, ensuring a broad analysis of topical agents, immunotherapies, radiotherapies, and targeted therapies. The review highlights significant advancements in localized treatments such as imiquimod and intralesional therapy with talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC), which show promise in managing nonexcisable melanomas. BRAF and MEK inhibitors, as well as checkpoint inhibitors targeting CTLA-4 and PD-1/PD-L1 pathways, demonstrate improved survival rates but pose challenges with resistance and systemic side effects. Radiotherapy serves as an adjunctive strategy due to melanoma's inherent radioresistant properties. Despite advancements, there is a notable absence of comprehensive, evidence-based protocols to guide the treatment of melanoma in these critical areas. This paper underscores the need for standardized treatment guidelines that account for the efficacy, side effects, and psychosocial impacts of therapies. Future research should focus on refining existing treatments and exploring innovative modalities to enhance patient outcomes in the management of nonexcisable melanomas. Comprehensive guidelines and long-term efficacy studies are essential to optimize care and improve the quality of life for patients afflicted with melanoma in challenging anatomical locations."
+1967,skin cancer,39229155,Restraint of melanoma progression by cells in the local skin environment.,"Keratinocytes, the dominant cell type in the melanoma microenvironment during tumor initiation, exhibit diverse effects on melanoma progression. Using a zebrafish model of melanoma and human cell co-cultures, we observed that keratinocytes undergo an Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT)-like transformation in the presence of melanoma, reminiscent of their behavior during wound healing. Surprisingly, overexpression of the EMT transcription factor Twist in keratinocytes led to improved overall survival in zebrafish melanoma models, despite no change in tumor initiation rates. This survival benefit was attributed to reduced melanoma invasion, as confirmed by human cell co-culture assays. Single-cell RNA-sequencing revealed a unique melanoma cell cluster in the Twist-overexpressing condition, exhibiting a more differentiated, less invasive phenotype. Further analysis nominated homotypic jam3b-jam3b and pgrn-sort1a interactions between Twist-overexpressing keratinocytes and melanoma cells as potential mediators of the invasive restraint. Our findings suggest that EMT in the tumor microenvironment (TME) may limit melanoma invasion through altered cell-cell interactions."

To effectively broaden the application of this approach, stringent biomarkers are crucial to identify responsive patients. ARID1A, a frequently mutated subunit of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, has been reported to determine tumor immunogenicity in some cohorts; however, mutations and deletions of ARID1A are not always linked to clinical responses to immunotherapy. In this study, we investigated immunotherapeutic responses based on ARID1A status in targeted therapy-resistant cancers. Mouse and human BRAFV600E melanomas with or without ARID1A expression were transformed into resistant to vemurafenib, an FDA-approved specific BRAFV600E inhibitor. Anti-PD-1 antibody treatment enhanced antitumor immune responses in vemurafenib-resistant ARID1A-deficient tumors but not in ARID1A-intact tumors or vemurafenib-sensitive ARID1A-deficient tumors. Neoantigens derived from accumulated somatic mutations during vemurafenib resistance were highly expressed in ARID1A-deficient tumors and promoted tumor immunogenicity. Furthermore, the newly generated neoantigens could be utilized as immunotherapeutic targets by vaccines. Finally, targeted therapy resistance-specific neoantigen in experimental human melanoma cells lacking ARID1A were validated to elicit T-cell receptor responses. Collectively, the classification of ARID1A-mutated tumors based on vemurafenib resistance as an additional indicator of immunotherapy response will enable a more accurate prediction to guide cancer treatment. Furthermore, the neoantigens that emerge with therapy resistance can be promising therapeutic targets for refractory tumors. Significance: Chemotherapy resistance promotes the acquisition of immunogenic neoantigens in ARID1A-deficient tumors that confer sensitivity to immune checkpoint blockade and can be utilized for developing antitumor vaccines, providing strategies to improve immunotherapy efficacy."

In fact, it is the deadliest skin cancer. The precise routes of transmission for MCPyV-positive MCC remain unclear, but several factors may trigger its development. Conventional treatments for MCC are not highly effective, especially in patients with metastasis, with a clear need for new treatment options. Gene-targeted therapies hold great promise for the treatment of MCC, including the use of siRNA and CRISPR/Cas (C/Cas) but critically none have yet been translated into clinical trials. Validating this approach is the fact that several siRNA products are already FDA licenced, while C/Cas has entered clinical trial, albeit for conditions other than MCC. There are many challenges that must be overcome to move from preclinical research to the clinic. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of the current understanding of MCC, with a particular focus on MCPyV-positive MCC, and the status of gene-targeted therapies. Additionally, we discuss the major obstacles that impede MCC research and explore future prospects."

However, lymphedema of other regions, including head and neck, has remained neglected. Recent discovery of lymphatic system in the brain and the communication between intracranial and paracranial lymphatic systems has drawn attention to the head and neck lymphatics. Lymphedema of the head and neck region can result from inherent abnormality of the lymphatic system (primary) or be caused by accidental or iatrogenic injury to lymphatics (secondary). The head and neck contain a large network of lymphatic tissue. They may be affected by direct tumor infiltration, surgical resection of tumors and surrounding cancer tissue, and/or radiotherapy. Proper screening and counseling of patients before facial aesthetic procedures may avoid managing the distress of lymphedema postprocedure. Progression of head and neck lymphedema (HNL) can lead to chronic inflammatory, fibrosclerotic, and fibrofatty deposition, resulting in permanent deformity and disability. Patients may experience functional impairment, including skin changes, pain, range of motion limitations, contracture, dysphagia, dysarthria, dyspnea, and trismus, all leading to reduced quality of life. Despite these known disabilities, HNL is underdiagnosed due to a lack of awareness about this entity and of tools available for measuring internal or external swelling.

One major clinical symptom of WHIM patients is their high susceptibility to human papillomavirus (HPV) induced disease, such as warts. Persistent high risk HPV infections cause 5% of all human cancers, including cervical, anogenital, head and neck and some skin cancers. WHIM mice bearing the same mutation identified in WHIM patients were created to study the underlying causes for the symptoms manifest in patients suffering from the WHIM syndrome. Using murine papillomavirus (MmuPV1) as an infection model in mice for HPV-induced disease, we demonstrate that WHIM mice are more susceptible to MmuPV1-induced warts (papillomas) compared to wild type mice. Namely, the incidence of papillomas is higher in WHIM mice compared to wild type mice when mice are exposed to low doses of MmuPV1. MmuPV1 infection facilitated both myeloid and lymphoid cell mobilization in the blood of wild type mice but not in WHIM mice. Higher incidence and larger size of papillomas in WHIM mice correlated with lower abundance of infiltrating T cells within the papillomas. Finally, we demonstrate that transplantation of bone marrow from wild type mice into WHIM mice normalized the incidence and size of papillomas, consistent with the WHIM mutation in hematopoietic cells contributing to higher susceptibility of WHIM mice to MmuPV1-induced disease. Our results provide evidence that MmuPV1 infection in WHIM mice is a powerful preclinical infectious model to investigate treatment options for alleviating papillomavirus infections in WHIM syndrome."

The accumulation of ILC1s in skin and blood was specific to patients with sarcoidosis and not observed in other granulomatous diseases. The authors used a mouse model of lung granuloma to show that ILCs contribute to granuloma formation and that blockade of CXCR4 reduced the formation of granulomas, providing a proof of concept that sarcoidosis may be treated by CXCR4 blockade to prevent the progression of disease in patients. These results suggest ILC1s could serve as a diagnostic biomarker in sarcoidosis and a potential therapeutic target."

However, there has been insufficient investigations reporting the use of free IMAP flap. Furthermore, even in such studies, somewhat invasive procedures, including rib cartilage resection, were employed to ensure sufficient pedicle length, potentially increasing donor morbidity. Our report presents two cases of successful facial defect reconstruction using a free IMAP flap harvested with minimal donor site damage, showing its feasibility. In the first case, a 48-year-old male underwent wide excision for a malignant melanoma on his right cheek, resulting in a 4 × 4.5 cm full-thickness defect.

Despite its clinical importance, the mechanisms underlying tumour dormancy and MRD remain unclear. In this study, we employed two syngeneic murine models of myeloid leukemia and melanoma to investigate the genetic, epigenetic, transcriptomic and protein signatures associated with tumour dormancy.

+2001,skin cancer,39223468,Fractional differentiation based image enhancement for automatic detection of malignant melanoma.,"Recent improvements in artificial intelligence and computer vision make it possible to automatically detect abnormalities in medical images. Skin lesions are one broad class of them. There are types of lesions that cause skin cancer, again with several types. Melanoma is one of the deadliest types of skin cancer. Its early diagnosis is at utmost importance. The treatments are greatly aided with artificial intelligence by the quick and precise diagnosis of these conditions. The identification and delineation of boundaries inside skin lesions have shown promise when using the basic image processing approaches for edge detection. Further enhancements regarding edge detections are possible. In this paper, the use of fractional differentiation for improved edge detection is explored on the application of skin lesion detection. A framework based on fractional differential filters for edge detection in skin lesion images is proposed that can improve automatic detection rate of malignant melanoma. The derived images are used to enhance the input images. Obtained images then undergo a classification process based on deep learning. A well-studied dataset of HAM10000 is used in the experiments. The system achieves 81.04% accuracy with EfficientNet model using the proposed fractional derivative based enhancements whereas accuracies are around 77.94% when using original images. In almost all the experiments, the enhanced images improved the accuracy. The results show that the proposed method improves the recognition performance."

While MF generally follows an indolent course, a subset of patients will experience progressive and/or treatment-refractory disease; Sézary syndrome is an aggressive lymphoma associated with high morbidity and mortality. Although allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) is the only currently available potentially curative treatment modality for MF/SS there is no published guidance on referral criteria, transplant timing orallo-HCT approach. To develop consensus clinical practice recommendations, we performed a Delphi survey of 32 specialists in dermatology (n = 9), transplant hematology/oncology (n = 10), non-transplant hematology/oncology (n = 8), and radiation oncology (n = 5) from across the United States. Consensus required agreement of ≥75% of participants. Sixteen consensus statements were generated on four topics: (1) criteria for referral for consideration for allo-HCT, (2) allo-HCT preparative regimens and procedures (3) disease status at the time of allo-HCT, and (4) multidisciplinary management in the pre- and post-transplant settings. These clinical practice guidelines provide a framework for decision-making regarding allo-HCT for MF/SS and highlight areas for future prospective investigation."
+2004,skin cancer,39222676,Hepatocyte growth factor promotes melanoma metastasis through ubiquitin-specific peptidase 22-mediated integrins upregulation.,"Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) plays a critical role in promoting tumor migration, invasion, and metastasis, partly by upregulating integrins. The molecular mechanisms behind how HGF facilitates integrin-mediated tumorigenesis are not fully understood. In this study, we demonstrate that the ubiquitin-specific peptidase 22 (USP22) is essential for HGF-induced melanoma metastasis. HGF treatment dramatically increased the expression of both USP22 and multiple integrin family members in particular ITGAV, ITGB3, and ITGA1. An unbiased analysis of the TCGA database reveals integrins as common downstream targets of both USP22 and HGF across multiple human cancer types. Notably, CRISPR-mediated deletion of USP22 completely eliminates HGF-induced integrin expression in melanoma cells. At the molecular level, USP22 acts as a bona fide deubiquitinase for Sp1, a transcription factor for the ITGAV, ITGB3, and ITGA1 genes. USP22 interacts with and inhibits Sp1 ubiquitination, protecting against Sp1 proteasomal degradation. Supporting this, immunohistology analysis detects a positive correlation among USP22, Sp1, and integrin αv in human melanoma tissues. This study identifies the death from the signature gene USP22 as a critical positive regulator for HGF-induced integrin expression by deubiquitinating the Sp1 transcription factor during melanoma metastasis."
+2005,skin cancer,39222576,Possible regulation of the immune modulator tetraspanin CD81 by alpha-synuclein in melanoma.,"We probed the mechanism by which the Parkinson's disease-associated protein α-synuclein (α-syn)/SNCA promotes the pathogenesis and progression of melanoma. We found that the human melanoma cell line SK-MEL-28 in which SNCA is knocked out (SNCA-KO) has low levels of tetraspanin CD81, which is a cell-surface protein that promotes invasion, migration, and immune suppression. Analyzing data from the Cancer Genome Atlas, we show that SNCA and CD81 mRNA levels are positively correlated in melanoma; melanoma survival is inversely related to the levels of SNCA and CD81; and SNCA/CD81 are inversely related to the expression of key cytokine genes (IL12A, IL12B, IFN, IFNG, PRF1 and GZMB) for immune activation and immune cell-mediated killing of melanoma cells. We propose that high levels of α-syn and CD81 in melanoma and in immune cells drive invasion and migration and in parallel cause an immunosuppressive microenvironment; these contributing factors lead to aggressive melanomas."

In this research article, we proposed a nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) designed for the topical treatment of cutaneous melanoma, which simultaneously delivers 5-FU and Bcl-2 siRNA. The characterized nanoparticles exhibited a diameter of 259 ± 9 nm and a polydispersion index of 0.2, indicating a uniform size distribution. The NLCs were primarily localized in the epidermis, effectively minimizing the systemic release of 5-FU across skin layers. The ex vivo skin model revealed the formation of a protective lipid film, decreasing the desquamation process of the stratum corneum which can be associated to an effect of increasing permeation. In vitro assays demonstrated that A375 melanoma cells exhibited a higher sensitivity to the treatment compared to non-cancerous cells, reflecting the expected difference in their metabolic rates. The uptake of NLC by A375 cells reached approximately 90% within 4 h. The efficacy of Bcl-2 knockdown was thoroughly assessed using ELISA, Western blot, and qRT-PCR analyses, revealing a significant knockdown and synergistic action of the NLC formulation containing 5-FU and Bcl-2 siRNA (at low concentration --100 pM). Notably, the silencing of Bcl-2 mRNA also impacted other members of the Bcl-2 protein family, including Mcl-1, Bcl-xl, BAX, and BAK. The observed modulation of these proteins strongly indicated the activation of the apoptosis pathway, suggesting a successful inhibition of melanoma growth and prevention of its in vitro spread."

To assess long-term incidence trends, tumour thickness was extracted from pathology reports in the Cancer Registry of Norway (1983-2007) and the Norwegian Melanoma Registry (2008-2019), n = 45,635 patients. Across all anatomic sites, T1 (≤ 1 mm) incidence increased most (men annual percentage change [AAPC] = 4.6, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 4.2-5.0; women AAPC = 3.2, 95% CI 2.8-3.6); the increase was steep until 1989/90, followed by a plateau, and a further steep increase from 2004/05. Increased incidence was also observed for T2 (>1.0-2.0) melanoma (men AAPC = 2.8, 95% CI 2.4-3.2; women AAPC = 1.5, 95% CI 1.1-1.9), and T3 (>2.0-4.0) in men (AAPC = 1.4, 95% CI 0.9-1.9). T4 (>4.0) melanoma followed a similar overall pattern (men AAPC = 1.3, 95% CI 0.9-1.7, head/neck, upper limbs, and trunk; women AAPC = 0.9, 95% CI 0.4-1.4, upper limbs and trunk). Men had the highest T3 and T4 incidence and the sex difference increased with age. Regarding birth cohorts, age-specific incidence increased in all T categories in the oldest age groups, while stabilizing in younger patients born after 1950. Overall, the steep increase in T1 melanoma was not accompanied by a decrease in thick melanoma."

In recent years, drug delivery-associated nanotechnology has shown promising targeted results with diminished adverse effects compared to conventional treatments. This study aimed to (1) examine the effects of plant-derived α-arbutin, a natural compound and (2) compare these findings with bioactively developed liposomes containing α-arbutin utilizing the B16-F10 murine melanoma cell line as a model. Liposomes were obtained through reversed-phase evaporation by applying a spray dryer to assess their stability. The following biologic assays were measured cytotoxicity/antiproliferative (MTT, Neutral Red, and dsDNA PicoGreen). In addition, the levels of melanin and purinergic enzymes were also measured. The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) was determined as a measure of oxidative state. Treatment with nano-liposome containing alpha-arbutin induced a significant 68.4% cytotoxicity, similar to the positive control, in the B16-F10 murine melanoma cell line at 72 hr. Further, arbutin and liposomes containing alpha-arbutin increased levels of ROS and nitrite formation at 72 hr at the highest concentration (100 and 300 µg/ml) of treatments. Arbutin and liposomes containing alpha-arbutin reduced melanin levels at all tested concentrations. In addition, arbutin and alpha-arbutin containing liposomes lowered nucleotides (AMP, ADP, and ATP) and nucleoside (adenosine) levels in melanoma cells. Evidence suggests that α-arbutin containing liposome can be considered as an alternative immunosuppressive agent stimulated in melanoma treatment."

Unlike most MAPs which are composed of either solid structures or hollow needles, L-MAPs incorporate tapered struts that form hollow cells capable of trapping liquid droplets. The lattice structures can also be coated with traditional viscous coating formulations, enabling both liquid- and solid-state cargo delivery, on a single patch. Here, a library of 43 L-MAP designs is generated and in-silico modeling is used to down-select optimal geometries for further characterization. Compared to traditionally molded and solid-coated MAPs, L-MAPs can load more cargo with fewer needles per patch, enhancing cargo loading and drug delivery capabilities. Further, L-MAP cargo release kinetics into the skin can be tuned based on formulation and needle geometry. In this work, the utility of L-MAPs as a platform is demonstrated for the delivery of small molecules, mRNA lipid nanoparticles, and solid-state ovalbumin protein. In addition, the production of programmable L-MAPs is demonstrated with tunable cargo release profiles, enabled by combining needle geometries on a single patch."

Following educational intervention, self-efficacy is one of the best surrogate metrics for behavior change. Curricula that increase knowledge and confidence levels can improve screening behaviors, but few have been tested for efficacy in this population AIMS: We assessed whether an online curriculum could reliably improve skin screening knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of nonmedical professionals PATIENTS/METHODS: Skin-aware professionals were recruited through the Oregon Health Authority and IMPACT Melanoma TM. Participants completed a pre-survey, online training module, post-survey, and one-year follow-up survey. We evaluated participants' indicated levels of concern for suspicious and nonsuspicious lesions relative to ""gold standard"" physician ratings. We also assessed confidence and self-reported behavior change regarding talking to clients about skin cancer and recommending they see a provider to evaluate suspicious lesions RESULTS: The pre-survey was completed by 9872 skin-aware professionals; 5434 completed the post-survey, and 162 completed the one-year follow-up survey. Participants showed a significant improvement in ability to indicate the correct level of concern for all lesion types in concordance with ""gold standard"" physician ratings (p < 0.001). Participants reported increased comfort levels in discussing health-related topics with their clients posttraining CONCLUSIONS: Our training module effectively increased skin-aware professionals' knowledge, confidence, and concern for malignant lesions.

However, due to the poor understanding of the pathogenesis of UM, effective therapeutic approaches are lacking. As a phenolic compound extracted from grapes, piceatannol (PIC) exhibits anti‑cancer properties. To the best of our knowledge, however, the effects of PIC on UM have not been well investigated. Therefore, in the present study, considering the impact of pyroptosis on modulating cell viability, the mechanism underlying the effects of PIC on UM cell proliferation was explored. The inhibitory effect of PIC on proliferation of UM cells was detected by cell counting kit‑8 assay. Wound healing was used to investigate the effects of PIC on the migration of UM cells. Activity detecting assays were performed to test the apoptosis and oxidant level in UM cells. Western blotting and RT‑qPCR were used to detect the inflammatory and pyroptotic levels of UM cell after PIC treatment. PIC‑treated UM cells were screened by high‑throughput sequencing to detect the differential expression of RNA and differential genes. Si‑TREM2 transfection was used to verify the important role of TREM2 in the effects of PIC. Immunohistochemical staining was used to observe the expressions of TREM2 and GSDMR of tumor in nude mice after PIC administration. PIC effectively inhibited proliferation ability of C918 and Mum‑2b UM cell lines via enhancing apoptosis, as evidenced by enhanced activities of caspase 3 and caspase 9. In addition, treatment of UM cells with PIC attenuated cell migration in a dose‑dependent manner. PIC increased reactive oxygen species levels and suppressed the activity of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, glutathione‑S‑transferase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase. PIC inhibited inflammatory responses in C918 cells. PIC treatment upregulated IL‑1β, IL‑18 and Nod‑like receptor protein 3 and downregulated gasdermin D (GSDMD). RNA sequencing results revealed the activation of an unconventional pyroptosis‑associated signaling pathway, namely caspase 3/GSDME signaling, following PIC treatment, which was mediated by triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) upregulation. As an agonist of TREM2, COG1410‑mediated TREM2 upregulation inhibited proliferation of C918 cells, displaying similar effects to PIC. Furthermore, PIC inhibited tumor growth via regulating the TREM2/caspase 3/GSDME pathway in a mouse model. Collectively, the present study revealed a novel mechanism underlying the inhibitory effects of PIC on UM, providing a potential treatment approach for UM in clinic."

Treatment of SS is challenging since its pathogenesis is characterized by cell death resistance rather than hyperproliferation. In this study, we establish an integrated approach that considers both the expression of SC markers and sensitivity to cell death both spontaneously and upon in vitro treatment. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from 20 SS patients and analysed for the SC markers CD7 and CD26 loss as well as CD158k and PD1 gain. The cells were then treated with different established and experimental therapies in vitro and cell death was measured. Spontaneous and therapeutically induced cell death were measured and correlated to cellular marker profiles. In the marker-positive cells, spontaneous cell death sensitivity was reduced. Different treatments in vitro managed to specifically induce cell death in the putative CTCL cell populations. Interestingly, a repeated analysis after 3 months of treatment revealed the CTCL cell death sensitivity to be restored by therapy. We propose this novel integrated approach comprising the evaluation of SC marker expression and analysis of cell death sensitivity upon treatment that can also enable a better therapy stratification."

These stressors also upregulate the production of a cutaneous innate immune element, cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP), through endoplasmic reticulum stress-initiated, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) signaling pathway. Although CAMP has beneficial antimicrobial activities, it also can be proinflammatory and procarcinogenic. We addressed whether and how S1P-induced CAMP production leads to cSCC development. Our study demonstrated that (i) CAMP expression is increased in cSCC cells and skin from patients with cSCC; (ii) S1P levels are elevated in cSCC cells, whereas inhibition of S1P production attenuates CAMP-stimulated cSCC growth; (iii) exogenous CAMP stimulates cSCC but not normal human keratinocyte growth; (iv) blockade of FPRL1 protein, a CAMP receptor, attenuates cSCC growth as well as the growth and invasion of cSCC cells mediated by CAMP into an extracellular matrix-containing fibroblast substrate; (v) FOXP3+ regulatory T-cell (which decreases antitumor immunity) levels increase in cSCC skin; and (vi) CAMP induces endoplasmic reticulum stress in cSCC cells. Together, the endoplasmic reticulum stress-S1P-CAMP axis forms a vicious circle, creating a favorable environment for cSCC development, that is, cSCC growth and invasion impede anticancer immunity."

However, the response to ICB therapy is limited to a small subset of patients. The development of ICB sensitizers to improve cancer immunotherapy outcomes is urgently needed. Berberine (BBR), a well-known phytochemical compound isolated from many kinds of medicinal plants such as Berberis aristata, Coptis chinensis, and Phellondendron chinense Schneid, has shown the ability to inhibit the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of cancer cells. In this study, we investigated whether BBR can enhance the therapeutic benefit of ICB for melanoma, and explored the underlying mechanisms involved. The results showed that BBR could sensitize ICB to inhibit tumor growth and increased the survival rate of mice. Moreover, BBR stimulated intracellular ROS production partially by inhibiting NQO1 activity, which induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) in melanoma, elevated the levels of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), and subsequently activated DC cells and CD8 + T cells in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, BBR is a novel ICD inducer. BBR could enhance the therapeutic benefit of ICB for melanoma. These effects were partially mediated through the inhibition of NQO1 and ROS activation."

In total, 3% to 5% of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are metastatic at the time of presentation, associated with significant mortality due to a lack of standardized treatment options. In total, 95% of these tumors are amenable to the initial standard of treatment, which is surgical resection. However, a small percentage of them require systemic therapy as they are either locally advanced to regional lymph nodes or have distant metastasis. The common sites of presentation of cSCC are the scalp and the face with predictable spread to the intra-parotid, upper jugular, and perifacial lymph nodes. In our case report, however, our patient had a large lump lesion on the upper back, an unusual site of presentation of cSCC, with locally advanced metastasis to the left axillary lymph nodes. Subsequently, the tumor marker study revealed a positive SMARCA4 variant (the essential ATPase subunit of the Switch (SWI)/Sucrose Nonfermenting (SNF) chromatin-remodeling complex) that is even rarer in the context of cSCC. Furthermore, abnormalities in SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex subunits have shown promising results as a target therapy for immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. We present an atypical presentation site of locally advanced rare variant SMARCA4-positive cSCC in a patient who received treatment with chemoradiation and systemic therapy with ICI after primary surgical resection.

The causal mutation was initially reported as a duplication of a 4.6 kb intronic sequence in Syntaxin 17. The speed of greying varies considerably among Grey horses. Here we demonstrate the presence of two different Grey alleles, G2 carrying two tandem copies of the duplicated sequence and G3 carrying three. The latter is by far the most common allele, probably due to strong selection for the striking white phenotype. Our results reveal a remarkable dosage effect where the G3 allele is associated with fast greying and high incidence of melanoma whereas G2 is associated with slow greying and low incidence of melanoma. The copy number expansion transforms a weak enhancer to a strong melanocyte-specific enhancer that underlies hair greying (G2 and G3) and a drastically elevated risk of melanoma (G3 only). Our direct pedigree-based observation of the origin of a G2 allele from a G3 allele by copy number contraction demonstrates the dynamic evolution of this locus and provides the ultimate evidence for causality of the copy number variation of the 4.6 kb intronic sequence."

Recent identification of the gene encoding PEDS1, the desaturase generating the vinyl ether bond, enables evaluation of the role of plasmalogens in health and disease. Here, we report that Peds1-deficient zebrafish larvae display delayed development, increased basal inflammation, normal hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell emergence, and cell-autonomous myeloid cell apoptosis. In a sterile acute inflammation model, Peds1-deficient larvae exhibited impaired inflammation resolution and tissue regeneration, increased interleukin-1β and NF-κB expression, and elevated ROS levels at the wound site. Abnormal immune cell recruitment, neutrophil persistence, and fewer but predominantly pro-inflammatory macrophages were observed. Chronic skin inflammation worsened in Peds1-deficient larvae but was mitigated by exogenous plasmalogen, which also alleviated hyper-susceptibility to bacterial infection, as did pharmacological inhibition of caspase-3 and colony-stimulating factor 3-induced myelopoiesis. Overall, our results highlight an important role for plasmalogens in myeloid cell biology and inflammation."

+2053,skin cancer,39215025,FAM72A degrades UNG2 through the GID/CTLH complex to promote mutagenic repair during antibody maturation.,"A diverse antibody repertoire is essential for humoral immunity. Antibody diversification requires the introduction of deoxyuridine (dU) mutations within immunoglobulin genes to initiate somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR). dUs are normally recognized and excised by the base excision repair (BER) protein uracil-DNA glycosylase 2 (UNG2). However, FAM72A downregulates UNG2 permitting dUs to persist and trigger SHM and CSR. How FAM72A promotes UNG2 degradation is unknown. Here, we show that FAM72A recruits a C-terminal to LisH (CTLH) E3 ligase complex to target UNG2 for proteasomal degradation. Deficiency in CTLH complex components result in elevated UNG2 and reduced SHM and CSR. Cryo-EM structural analysis reveals FAM72A directly binds to MKLN1 within the CTLH complex to recruit and ubiquitinate UNG2. Our study further suggests that FAM72A hijacks the CTLH complex to promote mutagenesis in cancer. These findings show that FAM72A is an E3 ligase substrate adaptor critical for humoral immunity and cancer development."

Using deepAMP to reduce antimicrobial resistance and enhance the membrane-disrupting abilities of AMPs, we identify, synthesize, and experimentally test 18 T1-AMP (Tier 1) and 11 T2-AMP (Tier 2) candidates in a two-round design and by employing cross-optimization-validation. More than 90% of the designed AMPs show a better inhibition than penetratin in both Gram-positive (i.e., S. aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (i.e., K. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa). T2-9 shows the strongest antibacterial activity, comparable to FDA-approved antibiotics. We show that three AMPs (T1-2, T1-5 and T2-10) significantly reduce resistance to S. aureus compared to ciprofloxacin and are effective against skin wound infection in a female wound mouse model infected with P. aeruginosa. In summary, deepAMP expedites discovery of effective, broad-spectrum AMPs against drug-resistant bacteria."

Circadian rhythm is closely related to melanoma pathogenesis. This study aimed to identify key circadian rhythm genes (CRGs) in melanoma and explore their potential as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. Microarray data of melanoma tissues and normal skins were obtained. Differentially expressed genes were identified and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to screen hub genes associated with melanoma. By overlapping hub genes with known CRGs, 125 melanoma-related CRGs were identified. Functional enrichment analysis revealed these CRGs were mainly involved in circadian rhythm and other cancer-related pathways. Three machine learning algorithms including LASSO regression, support vector machine-recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE), and random forest were utilized to select key CRGs. Six CRGs (ABCC2, CA14, EGR3, FBXW7, LDHB, and PSEN2) were identified as key CRGs for melanoma diagnosis and prognosis. Diagnostic values of key CRGs were evaluated by ROC analysis in training and validation sets. Prognostic values of key CRGs were assessed by survival analysis and a multivariate Cox regression prognostic model was constructed. The prognostic model could effectively stratify melanoma patients into high- and low-risk groups with significantly different survival. A nomogram integrating clinical variables and risk score was built to predict 3-, 5- and 10-year overall survival of melanoma patients. In summary, six CRGs were identified as key genes associated with melanoma pathogenesis and may serve as promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. The prognostic model and nomogram could facilitate personalized prognosis evaluation of melanoma patients."

In this study, we investigated the role of the splicing factor PHD finger protein 5A (PHF5A) in melanoma. Malignant melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, and patients with a high PHF5A expression show poor overall survival. Our data revealed that an siRNA-mediated downregulation of PHF5A in different melanoma cell lines leads to massive splicing defects of different tumour-relevant genes. The loss of PHF5A results in an increased rate of apoptosis by triggering Fas- and unfolded protein response (UPR)-mediated apoptosis pathways in melanoma cells. These findings are tumour-specific because we did not observe this regulation in fibroblasts. Our study identifies a crucial role of PHF5A as driver for melanoma malignancy and the described underlying splicing network provides an interesting basis for the development of new therapeutic targets for this aggressive form of skin cancer."

This retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary referral center located in Korea to describe the relative frequency, demographics, survival outcomes, and temporal trend in PCL. A total of 627 PCL cases diagnosed between January 1994 and December 2022 were included. The majority of PCL cases (87.2%) were of T-/NK-cell lineage (CTCL), while the remaining cases (12.8%) were B-cell lineage lymphomas (CBCL). The prevalence of mycosis fungoides (MF) in CTCL increased significantly over time, while other CTCL subtypes, including primary cutaneous extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma and subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL), decreased in frequency. Notably, the prevalence of CD4-positive small/medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder showed a substantial increase over time. Primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma was consistently the commonest CBCL subtype. Survival analysis demonstrated that CTCL had a more favorable 5-year overall survival (OS) than CBCL.

To date, there is no FDA approved drug-based treatment for NF2. We have previously identified that BET inhibition can selectively reduce growth of the NF2-null schwannoma and Schwann cells in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo and, separately, reported that inhibition of Focal Adhesion Kinase 1 (FAK1) via crizotinib has antiproliferative effects in NF2-null Schwann cells. The current study was aimed at determining whether combined BET and FAK inhibition can synergize and to identify the mechanisms of action. A panel of normal and NF2-null Schwann and schwannoma cell lines were used to characterize the effects of combined BET and FAK inhibition in vitro and in vivo using pharmacological and genetic approaches. The mechanism of action was explored by chromatin immunoprecipitation, ChIP-PCR, western blotting, and functional approaches. We find that combined BET and FAK inhibition are synergistic and inhibit the proliferation of NF2-null schwannoma and Schwann cell lines in vitro and in vivo, by arresting cells in the G1/S and G2/M phases of the cell cycle. Further, we identify the mechanism of action through the downregulation of FAK1 transcription by BET inhibition, which potentiates inhibition of FAK by 100-fold. Our findings suggest that combined targeting of BET and FAK1 may offer a potential therapeutic option for the treatment of NF2-related schwannomas."

Machine learning classifiers were trained on radiomics and clinical features, which were evaluated for both side effects. The best radiomics model was a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) classifier, using TBV features, predicting moist cells epitheliolysis, achieving an area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) of 0.74. This was comparable to TBV breast volume (AUROC of 0.75). Combined models of radiomics and clinical features did not improve performance. Exclusion of volume-correlated features slightly reduced the predictive performance (AUROC 0.71). We could demonstrate the general propensity of planning CT-based radiomics models to predict breast RT-dependent side effects. Mammary tissue was more predictive than glandular tissue. The radiomics features performance was influenced by their high correlation to TBV volume."

This research focused on evaluating the safety and prospective antimelanoma impact of simulated gastrointestinal digestion products (FX-ID) on HaCaT and A375 cells.The results indicate that FX-ID exerts negative effects on mitochondria in A375 cells, increases Bax expression, releases Cytochrome C, and activates cleaved caspase-3, ultimately promoting apoptosis. Additionally, FX-ID influences the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway by enhancing cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) levels, consequently facilitating apoptosis and inflammation without significantly impacting HaCaT cells. These findings provide insight into inhibitory mechanism of FX-ID against melanoma, guiding the development of functional foods for prevention."

+2077,skin cancer,39208055,Transfer Contrastive Learning for Raman Spectroscopy Skin Cancer Tissue Classification.,"Using Raman spectroscopy (RS) signals for skin cancer tissue classification has recently drawn significant attention, because of its non-invasive optical technique nature using molecular structures and conformations within biological tissue for diagnosis. In reality, RS signals are noisy and unstable for training machine learning models. The scarcity of tissue samples also makes it challenging to learn reliable deep-learning networks for clinical usages. In this paper, we advocate a Transfer Contrasting Learning Paradigm (TCLP) to address the scarcity and noisy characteristics of the RS for skin cancer tissue classification. To overcome the challenge of limited samples, TCLP leverages transfer learning to pre-train deep learning models using RS data from similar domains (but collected from different RS equipments for other tasks). To tackle the noisy nature of the RS signals, TCLP uses contrastive learning to augment RS signals to learn reliable feature representation to represent RS signals for final classification. Experiments and comparisons, including statistical tests, demonstrate that TCLP outperforms existing deep learning baselines for RS signal-based skin cancer tissue classification. Both code and data used in our study are available at: https://github.com/yeyimilk/tclp."

The median age at diagnosis is 66. While most patients are treated with immunotherapy, the use of targeted therapy is a valid alternative for patients whose tumors harbor a BRAF or c-KIT driver mutation. These agents, while effective, come with a variety of side effects which limit their use, especially in older patients. We sought to assess the efficacy and toxicity of these agents in older melanoma patients. Melanoma patients over 65 treated with BRAF/MEK or c-KIT inhibitors were retrospectively identified, and their data were analyzed for treatment efficacy and toxicity. All data were compared using the Chi-square test for categorical comparisons and the Kruskal-Wallis method for median comparisons. One hundred and sixteen patients were identified. One hundred and six patients were treated with BRAF/MEK inhibitors. The assessed response rate (RR) was 83% and was comparable across different subgroups, including advanced line patients and those with a more aggressive disease. The median progression free survival (PFS) was 7.9 months, and the median overall survival (OS) was 15.7 months. Twenty-seven percent experienced grade 3-4 toxicity leading to a 24% treatment discontinuation rate. Another 10 patients were treated with the c-KIT inhibitor imatinib, for whom the assessed RR was 55%. The median PFS was 4.3 months, and the median OS was 22.6 months. Forty percent needed dose reductions, yet none had to stop treatment due to adverse effects. The use of targeted therapy in older patients is effective yet challenging due to toxicity. Deploying mitigation strategies can help maximizing their usefulness."

While local treatments are the mainstay for early-stage melanoma, metastatic disease necessitates systemic treatment, with oncolytic virotherapy emerging as a promising option. For this review, articles were retrieved from PubMed from 1964 through 2024. We conducted title, abstract and full-text screening in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines to identify articles describing the use of coxsackievirus A21 (V937), either as monotherapy or as part of combination therapy for malignant melanoma. Fifteen articles met inclusion criteria, offering preclinical and clinical data on V937's efficacy in reducing tumour burden. In addition to reporting manageable safety profiles, clinical trial data examining intratumoral V937 combination therapy with pembrolizumab and ipilimumab also endorsed favourable objective response rates compared to immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy (47% vs. 38% and 21% vs. 10%, respectively).

In this retrospective cohort investigation, we identified cases of incident melanoma diagnosed in Korean patients aged 0-19 years between 2004 and 2019, utilizing the National Health Insurance database. We assessed annual fluctuations in age-adjusted incidence rates and examined 5-year survival rates based on various factors, including sex, age, income level, sun-exposed sites, and the Charlson Comorbidity Index. Of 1160 patients, 51.4% were male and 48.6% were female. The mean age of the patients was 11 years, mostly belonging to the top 25% high-income group. The head and neck regions were the most frequently affected sites. The overall age-adjusted incidence rate of melanoma was 0.22 per 100,000 persons. This rate witnessed a decline of 4.5% annually from 2004 to 2012, followed by a subsequent increase of 12.6% annually from 2012 to 2019. Notably, patients with CMM in low-sun-exposed sites exhibited poorer survival rates compared with those in high-sun-exposed areas ( P  < 0.05).

However, 2%-9% of patients are diagnosed with melanoma metastasis of unknown primary (MUP). As MUP and MKP have similar UV-induced mutations and molecular signatures, it is proposed that the primary tumor has regressed completely in patients with MUP. As regression of the primary tumor could be indicative of enhanced recognition of melanoma antigens, we hypothesize that patients with advanced MUP have a better outcome compared with MKP.Patients with advanced MUP from 10 German university hospitals were retrospectively analyzed and matched with MKP based on the type of systemic treatment (BRAF and MEK inhibitors, PD-1 inhibitor monotherapy, combined CTLA-4 and PD-1 inhibitor therapy) therapy line (first or second line) and AJCC stage (IIIC, IV M1a-M1d). Three hundred thirty-seven patients with MUP were identified, and 152 treatments with PD-1 and CTLA-4 inhibitors, 142 treatments with PD-1 inhibitors, and 101 treatments with BRAF and MEK inhibitors were evaluated. Median time to treatment failure was significantly prolonged in patients with MUP treated with PD-1 monotherapy (17 mo, 95% CI: 9-25, P = 0.002) compared with MKP (5 mo, 95% CI: 3.4-6.6), as well as in MUP treated with combined PD-1 and CTLA-4 therapy (11 mo, 95% CI: 4.5-17.5, P < 0.0001) compared with MKP (4 mo, 95% CI: 2.9-5.1) Occurrence of immune-related adverse events and time to treatment failure for patients with BRAF and MEK inhibitors was similar in MKP and MUP.

Previously, we reported that serum LECT2 levels correlate with disease severity in atopic dermatitis (AD) patients. To investigate the role of LECT2 in AD and elucidate its potential mechanisms, we used LECT2 to treat an AD mouse model induced by 1-Chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNCB) in LECT2 knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice, and an AD cell model using TNF-α/IFN-γ-induced HaCaT cells. Inflammatory factors and barrier proteins were analyzed by histology, immunohistochemistry, RT-qPCR, ELISA, and Western Blot. Activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway was evaluated by Western Blot and immunofluorescence. In the AD mouse model, LECT2 treatment increased epidermal and dermal thickness, mast cell infiltration, and downregulated barrier proteins. Inflammatory factors were increased in skin lesions and serum. In the AD cell model, LECT2 decreased barrier protein levels and increased inflammatory factor levels, enhancing NF-κB P65 nuclear translocation. These results indicate that LECT2 exacerbates AD-like responses by dysregulating the NF-κB signaling pathway, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for AD management."

We collected clinical data from locally advanced and/or metastatic cSSC patients treated with cemiplimab in two Italian University centers. In addition, gene expression analysis by using Nanostring Technologies platform to evaluate 770 cancer- and immune-related genes on 20 tumor tissue samples (9 responders and 11 non-responders to cemiplimab) was performed. We enrolled 81 patients with a median age of 82 years. After 16.4 months of median follow-up, 12- and 24-months PFS were 53% and 42%, respectively; while 12- and 24-months OS were 71% and 61%, respectively. Treatment was well tolerated. Overall response rate (ORR) was 58%, with a disease control rate (DCR) of 77.8%. The difference between genes expressed in responder versus non-responder patient samples was substantial, particularly for genes involved in immune system regulation. Cemiplimab-resistant tumors were associated with over-expression of CCL-20 and CXCL-8. Cemiplimab confirmed efficacy and safety data in real-life cSCC patients.

Here, we investigate the feasibility of using low-cost infrared cameras with microbolometer technology for detecting skin cancer. For this purpose, we collected infrared data from volunteer subjects using a high-cost/high-quality infrared camera. We propose a degradation model to assess the use of lower-cost imagers in such a task. The degradation model was validated by mimicking video acquisition with the low-cost cameras, using data originally captured with a medium-cost camera. The outcome of the proposed model was then compared with the infrared video obtained with actual cameras, achieving an average Pearson correlation coefficient of more than 0.9271. Therefore, the model successfully transfers the behavior of cameras with poorer characteristics to videos acquired with higher-quality cameras. Using the proposed model, we simulated the acquisition of patient data with three different lower-cost cameras, namely, Xenics Gobi-640, Opgal Therm-App, and Seek Thermal CompactPRO. The degraded data were used to evaluate the performance of a skin cancer detection algorithm. The Xenics and Opgal cameras achieved accuracies of 84.33% and 84.20%, respectively, and sensitivities of 83.03% and 83.23%, respectively. These values closely matched those from the non-degraded data, indicating that employing these lower-cost cameras is appropriate for skin cancer detection. The Seek camera achieved an accuracy of 82.13% and a sensitivity of 79.77%. Based on these results, we conclude that this camera is appropriate for less critical applications."

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the bioactivity of goat placenta (GP) extract on both normal and chemotherapy-induced hair cells and to develop PEGylated liposomes (PL) and microspicule (MS) formulations for promoting hair growth in patients with chemotherapy-induced hair loss. The bioactivities of GP extract on human follicle dermal papilla (HFDP) cells and cells damaged by chemotherapy were assessed. GP extract was incorporated into PLs and MS gel (PL-MS) and then investigated in vitro skin permeation and in vivo studies on the scalps of patients with chemotherapy-induced hair loss. GP extract stimulated HFDP cell proliferation in both normal and cisplatin-damaged cells. PL nanovesicles and MS gel worked synergistically to deliver macromolecular proteins into the skin and hair follicles. The application of GP extract-loaded PL-MS to the scalps of chemotherapy-treated patients for 12 weeks significantly enhanced the hair growth rate, without causing skin irritation.

A delayed diagnosis of cSCC leads to heightened invasiveness and positive surgical margins. Bowen's disease (BD) represents an early form of cSCC and presents as a small erythematous, photo-distributed, psoriasiform plaque. Although certain dermoscopy features in BD are quite characteristic, histopathology remains the gold standard for diagnosis and provides a severity-scoring system that assists in guiding appropriate treatment strategies. The classification of precancerous lesions of the vulva and penis has undergone multifarious transformations due to variations in clinical and histopathological characteristics. Presently, erythroplasia of Queyrat is categorized as a clinical variant of penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN). The diagnoses of vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) and PeIN present significant challenges and typically necessitate one or more biopsies, potentially guided by dermoscopy. Aceto-white testing demonstrates a notably high negative predictive value for genital precancerous lesions.

Forty four-week-old female FVB/N mice were randomly divided into a control group (n = 8) and two experimental groups (group A: n = 16, group B: n = 16). In the study, the groups were subjected to a two-stage carcinogenesis procedure. This consisted of an initial application of 97.4 nmol DMBA to shaved skin on the back, followed by applications of 32.4 nmol TPA after thirteen weeks for group A and after twenty weeks for group B. The control group received no treatment. Skin conditions were monitored weekly for tumor development. At the end of the experiment, the animals were euthanized for further tissue sampling. Examination of the skin lesions in the experimental groups showed a correlation with tumor progression, ranging from dysplasia to carcinoma. Tumor samples were examined both histologically and immunohistochemically. Notably, and PERP expression was higher in precancerous than in malignant tumors. The differences in expression between precancerous and benign tumors provide further evidence of a role for PERP and Akt in the transition from benign to malignant states. Our findings underscore the critical roles of PERP and Akt in the pathogenesis of skin cancer and suggest their potential as biomarkers for early detection and targets for therapeutic intervention."

The escalating cost of new drug discoveries led to the repurposing of approved drugs for new indications. This study incorporated Artemisone, an antimalarial drug, into a nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) and tested for possible anticancer effects. The aim was to develop NLCs, and transferrin-conjugated NLCs (NLC-Tf) encapsulating Artemisone to enhance its delivery and anticancer activity. NLC formulations were prepared using high-pressure homogenization followed by ultrasonication and were characterized by particle size, zeta potential, and PDI. The conjugation of (Tf) to (NLC) was confirmed using IR, and the anticancer activity was tested using MTS assay. All formulations were in the nanometer size range (140-167 nm) with different zeta potential values. IR spectroscopy confirmed the successful conjugation of transferrin to NLC. Upon testing the formulations on melanoma cell lines using MTS assay, there was a significant decrease in viability and an increase in the encapsulated ATM-Tf toxicity compared to positive control ATM. The NLCs presented a promising potential carrier for delivering ATM to melanoma cells, and further conjugation with Tf significantly improved the ATM cytotoxicity."
+2118,skin cancer,39201498,Contribution of Keratinocytes in Skin Cancer Initiation and Progression.,"Keratinocytes are major cellular components of the skin and are strongly involved in its homeostasis. Oncogenic events, starting mainly from excessive sun exposure, lead to the dysregulation of their proliferation and differentiation programs and promote the initiation and progression of non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs). Primary melanomas, which originate from melanocytes, initiate and develop in close interaction with keratinocytes, whose role in melanoma initiation, progression, and immune escape is currently being explored. Recent studies highlighted, in particular, unexpected modes of communication between melanocytic cells and keratinocytes, which may be of interest as sources of new biomarkers in melanomagenesis or potential therapeutic targets. This review aims at reporting the various contributions of keratinocytes in skin basal cell carcinoma (BCC), cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), and melanoma, with a greater focus on the latter in order to highlight some recent breakthrough findings. The readers are referred to recent reviews when contextual information is needed."
+2119,skin cancer,39201464,Effect of Mifepristone on Migration and Proliferation of Oral Cancer Cells.,"Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) overexpression has been linked to increased tumour aggressiveness and treatment resistance. GR antagonists have been shown to enhance treatment effectiveness. Emerging research has investigated mifepristone, a GR antagonist, as an anticancer agent with limited research in the context of oral cancer. This study investigated the effect of mifepristone at micromolar (µM) concentrations of 1, 5, 10 and 20 on the proliferation and migration of oral cancer cells, at 24 and 48 h. Scratch and scatter assays were utilised to assess cell migration, MTT assays were used to measure cell proliferation, Western blotting was used to investigate the expression of GR and the activation of underlying Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling pathways, and immunofluorescence (IF) was used to determine the localisation of proteins in HaCaT (immortalised human skin keratinocytes), TYS (oral adeno squamous cell carcinoma), and SAS-H1 cells (squamous cell carcinoma of human tongue). Mifepristone resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in the proliferation of HaCaT, TYS, and SAS-H1 cells. Mifepristone at a concentration of 20 µM effectively reduced collective migration and scattering of oral cancer cells, consistent with the suppression of the PI3K-Akt and MAPK signalling pathways, and reduced expression of N-Cadherin. An elongated cell morphology was, however, observed, which may be linked to the localisation pattern of E-Cadherin in response to mifepristone. Overall, this study found that a high concentration of mifepristone was effective in the suppression of migration and proliferation of oral cancer cells via the inhibition of PI3K-Akt and MAPK signalling pathways. Further investigation is needed to define its impact on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers."

+2121,skin cancer,39201396,Melatonin Receptor Expression in Primary Uveal Melanoma.,"Melatonin, noted for its anti-cancer properties in various malignancies, including cutaneous melanoma, shows promise in Uveal melanoma (UM) treatment. This study aimed to evaluate melatonin receptor expression in primary UM and its association with UM-related mortality and prognostic factors. Immunohistochemical analysis of 47 primary UM tissues showed low expression of melatonin receptor 1A (MTNR1A) and melatonin receptor 1B (MTNR1B), with MTNR1A significantly higher in patients who succumbed to UM. Analysis of TCGA data from 80 UM patients revealed RNA expression for MTNR1A, retinoic acid-related orphan receptor alpha (RORα), and N-ribosyldihydronicotinamide:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO2), but not MTNR1B or G protein-coupled receptor 50 (GPR50). Higher MTNR1A RNA levels were observed in patients with a BRCA1 Associated Protein 1 (BAP1) mutation, and higher NQO2 RNA levels were noted in patients with the epithelioid tumor cell type. However, Kaplan-Meier analysis did not show distinct survival probabilities based on receptor expression. This study concludes that UM clinical samples express melatonin receptors, suggesting a potential mechanism for melatonin's anti-cancer effects. Despite finding higher MTNR1A expression in patients who died of UM, no survival differences were observed."

Nowadays, various anti-photoaging strategies have been developed to maintain skin health. Among them, dietary supplements with anti-photoaging properties are gaining increasing attention. Yak whey protein (YWP) possesses multiple benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-boosting properties, effectively protecting the skin. This study used a mixed UVA and UVB light source to irradiate a nude mouse model, exploring the advantages of YWP in anti-photoaging and regulating gut microbiota. The results indicated that YWP alleviated UV-induced skin damage, wrinkles, dryness, and reduced elasticity by inhibiting oxidative stress, inflammatory factors (IL-1α, IL-6, and TNF-α), and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-12), thereby increasing the levels of elastin, type I collagen, and type III collagen in the extracellular matrix (ECM).

There is no screening test for vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia. Diagnosis of VIN is made clinically and confirmed with a biopsy. We describe a 66-year-old woman with a condyloma-like tumour located in the skin on the vestibule of the vagina. A biopsy sample was taken from the nodule. The definitive diagnosis is supported by the histological examination (VIN III) and immunohistochemical examination of p16(+), p53(+), and a few cell nuclei.

Though encouraging data have been globally reported, several discrepancies have been observed in terms of study methodology, result presentations and validation in clinical settings. The present review aimed to screen the scientific literature on the application of DL techniques to dermoscopic melanoma/nevi differential diagnosis and extrapolate those original studies adequately by reporting on a DL model, comparing them among clinicians and/or another DL architecture. The second aim was to examine those studies together according to a standard set of statistical measures, and the third was to provide dermatologists with a comprehensive explanation and definition of the most used artificial intelligence (AI) terms to better/further understand the scientific literature on this topic and, in parallel, to be updated on the newest applications in the medical dermatologic field, along with a historical perspective. After screening nearly 2000 records, a subset of 54 was selected. Comparing the 20 studies reporting on convolutional neural network (CNN)/deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) models, we have a scenario of highly performant DL algorithms, especially in terms of low false positive results, with average values of accuracy (83.99%), sensitivity (77.74%), and specificity (80.61%). Looking at the comparison with diagnoses by clinicians (13 studies), the main difference relies on the specificity values, with a +15.63% increase for the CNN/DCNN models (average specificity of 84.87%) compared to humans (average specificity of 64.24%) with a 14,85% gap in average accuracy; the sensitivity values were comparable (79.77% for DL and 79.78% for humans). To obtain higher diagnostic accuracy and feasibility in clinical practice, rather than in experimental retrospective settings, future DL models should be based on a large dataset integrating dermoscopic images with relevant clinical and anamnestic data that is prospectively tested and adequately compared with physicians."

A high mutational burden is present in cSCC, as well as both cSCC precursors and normal skin, making driver genes difficult to differentiate. Despite this, several key driver genes have been identified, including TP53, the NOTCH family, CDKN2A, PIK3CA, and EGFR. In addition to mutations, the tumor microenvironment and the manipulation and evasion of the immune system play a critical role in cSCC progression. Novel therapeutic approaches, such as immunotherapy and EGFR inhibitors, have been used to target these dysregulations, and have shown promise in treating advanced cSCC cases, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions considering both genetic and microenvironmental factors for improved patient outcomes."

Key advances in therapeutic strategies have significantly improved patient outcomes; however, most patients experience drug resistance and tumor relapse. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small subpopulation of cells in different tumors, including melanoma, endowed with distinctive capacities of self-renewal and differentiation into bulk tumor cells. Melanoma CSCs are characterized by the expression of specific biomarkers and intracellular pathways; moreover, they play a pivotal role in tumor onset, progression and drug resistance. In recent years, great efforts have been made to dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying the protumor activities of melanoma CSCs to provide the basis for novel CSC-targeted therapies. Herein, we highlight the intricate crosstalk between melanoma CSCs and bystander cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME), including immune cells, endothelial cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), and its role in melanoma progression. Specifically, we discuss the peculiar capacities of melanoma CSCs to escape the host immune surveillance, to recruit immunosuppressive cells and to educate immune cells toward an immunosuppressive and protumor phenotype. We also address currently investigated CSC-targeted strategies that could pave the way for new promising therapeutic approaches for melanoma care."

We have previously shown that nanoscale-sized graphene oxide (NGO), an oxidized graphene derivative, exhibits effective anti-inflammatory activity in a murine model of sepsis mediated by T helper (Th)1-promoting cytokines such as IFNγ and TNFα. However, whether NGO influences Th2-induced skin inflammation remains unclear. To address this issue, we employed an ovalbumin (OVA) plus aluminum hydroxide (Alum)-induced Th2-mediated skin inflammation model in conjunction with OVA-specific DO11.10 T cell receptor transgenic Balb/c mice. In vivo NGO injection upon OVA/Alum sensitization down-regulated OVA-elicited antigen-specific Th2 cells and GATA3-expressing Th2-type regulatory T cells. Next, we examined the effect of NGO injection on OVA/Alum-induced atopic dermatitis (AD)-like skin inflammation. NGO-injected mice exhibited significantly decreased Th2 disease phenotypes (e.g., a lower clinical score, decreased epidermal thickness and Th2 cell differentiation, and fewer infiltrated mast cells and basophils in skin lesions) compared with vehicle-injected control mice. Overall, our results suggest that NGOs are promising therapeutic materials for treating allergic diseases such as AD."
+2135,skin cancer,39198623,Model based deep learning method for focused ultrasound pathway scanning.,"The primary purpose of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), a non-invasive medical therapy, is to precisely target and ablate tumors by focusing high-frequency ultrasound from an external power source. A series of ablations must be performed in order to treat a big volume of tumors, as a single ablation can only remove a small amount of tissue. To maximize therapeutic efficacy while minimizing adverse side effects such as skin burns, preoperative treatment planning is essential in determining the focal site and sonication duration for each ablation. Here, we introduce a machine learning-based approach for designing HIFU treatment plans, which makes use of a map of the material characteristics unique to a patient alongside an accurate thermal simulation. A numerical model was employed to solve the governing equations of HIFU process and to simulate the HIFU absorption mechanism, including ensuing heat transfer process and the temperature rise during the sonication period. To validate the accuracy of this numerical model, a series of tests was conducted using ex vivo bovine liver. The findings indicate that the developed models properly represent the considerable variances observed in tumor geometrical shapes and proficiently generate well-defined closed treated regions based on imaging data. The proposed strategy facilitated the formulation of high-quality treatment plans, with an average tissue over- or under-treatment rate of less than 0.06%. The efficacy of the numerical model in accurately predicting the heating process of HIFU, when combined with machine learning techniques, was validated through quantitative comparison with experimental data. The proposed approach in cooperation with HIFU simulation holds the potential to enhance presurgical HIFU plan."

We evaluated 77,143 participants without known diabetes or cardiovascular disease. The cause of death was ascertained by the municipality database. The associations between SAF and all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality and cancer mortality were assessed with Cox proportional hazard analysis.After a median follow-up of 115 months, 1447 participants were deceased (1.9%). SAF and age-adjusted SAF-z score were higher in all mortality groups. Cox regression analysis revealed that the highest quartile of SAF was associated with increased odds of cardiovascular mortality, (HR) 12.6 (7.3-21.7) and after adjusting for age (HR 1.8 (1.0-3.2)). Significance was lost after additional adjustments for sex, smoking status, and BMI (HR 1.4 (0.8-2.5). For cancer-related mortality the highest quartile of SAF was associated with higher probability of mortality in all models (unadjusted HR 8.6 (6.6-11.3), adjusted for age HR 2.1 (1.6-2.8)), adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, and BMI HR 1.7 (1.3-2.4)).

The role of the skin microbiome for MF development and progression are currently poorly understood. Using shotgun metagenomic profiling, real-time qPCR, and T cell receptor sequencing, we compared lesional and nonlesional skin of 20 MF patients with early and advanced MF. Additionally, we isolated Staphylococcus aureus and other bacteria from MF skin for functional profiling and to study the S. aureus virulence factor spa. We identified a subgroup of MF patients with substantial dysbiosis on MF lesions and concomitant outgrowth of S. aureus on plaque-staged lesions, while the other MF patients had a balanced microbiome on lesional skin. Dysbiosis and S. aureus outgrowth were accompanied by ectopic levels of cutaneous antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), including adaptation of the plaque-derived S. aureus strain. Furthermore, the plaque-derived S. aureus strain showed a reduced susceptibility towards antibiotics and an upregulation of the virulence factor spa, which may activate the NF-κB pathway. Remarkably, patients with dysbiosis on MF lesions had a restricted T cell receptor repertoire and significantly lower event-free survival. Our study highlights the potential for microbiome-modulating treatments targeting S. aureus to prevent MF progression."

Infected wounds suffer from a series of harmful factors in the harsh wound microenvironment (WME), greatly damaging their potential for tissue regeneration. Herein, a novel probiotic biofilm-based antibacterial strategy is proposed through experimentation. Firstly, a series of coaxial polycaprolactone (PCL) / silk fibroin (SF) nanofiber films (termed as PSN-n, n = 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0, respectively) are prepared by coaxial electrospinning and their physiochemical properties are comprehensively characterized. Afterward, the PSN-1.5 is selected and co-cultured with L. paracasei to allow the formation of probiotic biofilm. The probiotic biofilm-loaded PSN-1.5 nanofiber film (termed as PSNL-1.5) exhibits relatively good broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, biocompatibility, and enhanced pro-regenerative capability by immunoregulation of M2 macrophage. A wound healing assay is performed using an S. aureus-infected skin defect model. The application effect of PSNL-1.5 is significantly better than that of a commercial nano‑silver burn & scald dressing (Anson®), revealing huge potential for clinical translation. This study is of significant novelty in demonstrating the antibacterial and pro-regenerative abilities of probiotic biofilms. The product of this study will be extensively used for treating infected wounds or other wounds."
+2148,skin cancer,39197539,GPER expression prevents estrogen-induced urinary retention in obese mice.,"Long-term administration of exogenous estrogen is known to cause urinary retention and marked, often fatal, bladder distention in both male and female mice. Estrogen-treated mice have increased bladder pressure and decreased urine flow, suggesting that urinary retention in estrogen-treated mice is due to infravesicular obstruction to urine outflow. Thus, the condition is commonly referred to as bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). Obesity can also lead to urinary retention. As the effects of estrogen are mediated by multiple receptors, including estrogen receptors ERα and ERβ and the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), we sought to determine whether GPER plays a role in estrogen-induced BOO, particularly in the context of obesity. Wild type and GPER knockout (KO) mice fed a high-fat diet were ovariectomized or left ovary-intact (sham surgery) and supplemented with slow-release estrogen or vehicle-only pellets. Supplementing both GPER KO and wild type obese mice with estrogen for 8 weeks resulted in weight loss, splenic enlargement, and thymic atrophy, as expected. However, estrogen-treated obese GPER KO mice developed abdominal distension, debilitation, and ulceration of the skin surrounding the urogenital opening. At necropsy, these mice had prominently distended bladders and hydronephrosis. In contrast, estrogen-treated obese wild type mice only rarely displayed these signs. Our results suggest that, under conditions of obesity, estrogen induces BOO as a result of ERα-driven pathways and that GPER expression is protective against BOO."

Mice with epidermal barrier dysfunction revealed melanoma-like lesions after continuous exposure to ZnO NPs. However, the effects of metallic NPs on the skin microenvironment and immune system remain poorly understood. Mice with epidermal barrier failure were given continuous exposure to ZnO NPs for 7 weeks. The malignant transformation of melanocytes was induced with ZnO NPs 2.5 μg/ml for 72 h exposure. The supernatant of the culture medium from dendritic cells after being exposed to 10 μg/ml ZnO NPs for 24 h was applied to melanocytes to explore the effect of recruitment of DCs. The expressure of ZnO NPs resulted in a tendency of malignant transformation of melanocytes, the recruitment of DCs induces this process by produce inflammatory factors such as TNF-α. These DC-produced inflammatory factors, which were induced by ZnO NP exposure, increased the production of matrix metalloproteinases in melanocytes and expedited the malignant transformation process. Our findings revealed that the disrupted cutaneous microenvironment by ZnO NPs penetrated directly promoted the malignant transformation of melanocytes, which process also indirectly enhanced by the TNF-αsecreted from the recruited DCs."

EHE can have single- or multiorgan involvement, with presentations ranging from asymptomatic disease to pain and systemic symptoms. The extremely heterogeneous clinical presentation and disease progression complicates EHE diagnosis and management. We present the case of a 24-year-old woman with two periauricular erythematous papules, leading to the discovery of metastatic EHE through routine biopsy, despite a noncontributory medical history. Histology revealed the dermal proliferation of epithelioid cells and vacuoles containing red blood cells. Immunohistochemistry markers consistent with EHE solidified the diagnosis. Although extremely rare, prompt diagnosis of EHE is essential for informed decision-making and favorable outcomes. Key clinical and histopathological findings are highlighted to aid dermatologists in diagnosing and managing this uncommon condition."

Among these, the lymphoproliferative disorders, including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and non-melanoma skin cancer, have been described most frequently. In addition to traditional cancer risk factors, some psoriasis treatments may also be implicated as potential carcinogens. The aim of this study was to perform a review of current literature on the association between psoriasis, the therapies against this disease and skin cancer, focusing on both epidemiology and the potential mechanism involved. Some psoriasis treatments, such as psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA) therapy and cyclosporine, have been associated with increased risk of skin cancer. Variable data have been reported for anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) drugs, whereas other class of biologics, like anti-IL17 and IL23, as well as ustekinumab, seem not to be related to skin cancer risk, such as the case of currently available small molecules."

Based on preliminary bioinformatical analyses DTYMK and PARP1 were selected as potential therapeutic targets. High levels of both proteins were detected in uveal melanoma cells and correlated with increased tumor growth and poor prognosis. In vitro tests on MP41 (BAP1 positive) and MP46 (BAP1 negative) cancer cell lines using inhibitors pamiparib (PARP1) and Ymu1 (DTYMK) demonstrated significant cytotoxic effects. Combined treatment had synergistic effects in MP41 and additive in MP46 cell lines, reducing cell proliferation and inhibiting the mTOR signaling pathway. Furthermore, the applied inhibitors in combination decreased cell motility and migration speed, especially for BAP1-negative cell lines. Our hypothesis of the double hit into tumoral DNA metabolism as a possible therapeutic option in uveal melanoma was confirmed since combined targeting of DTYMK and PARP1 affected all tested cytophysiological parameters with the highest efficiency. Our in vitro findings provide insights into novel therapeutic avenues for managing uveal melanoma, warranting further exploration in preclinical and clinical settings."

This study investigated whether the proangiogenic effect exerted by melanoma-derived ectosomes on recipient endothelial cells is mediated by ectosomal αvβ3 and αvβ5 integrins. Ectosomes were isolated from the conditioned culture media of four melanoma cell lines and melanocytes. Changes in gene and protein expression of αvβ3 and αvβ5 integrins, as well as VEGF and TNF-α were assessed in ectosome-treated endothelial cells. To confirm the functional involvement of ectosomal integrins in functional tests (Alamar Blue, wound healing and tube formation assays), ectosomes were also pretreated with anti-integrin antibodies and integrin-blocking peptides echistatin and cilengitide. Melanoma-derived ectosomes induced changes in the expression of αvβ3 and αvβ5 integrins in recipient endothelial cells, leading to increased viability, migratory properties, and tube formation potential. The extent of proangiogenic stimulation varied depending on the types of cells releasing ectosomes and the recipient cells. The use of anti-integrin antibodies and integrin-blocking peptides revealed a more significant role for the αvβ5 integrin/VEGF than the αvβ3 integrin/TNF-α pathway in the interactions between ectosomes and endothelial cells. The study demonstrated the functional role of ectosomal αvβ3 and αvβ5 integrins. It also provided a baseline understanding of ectosome-mediated αvβ3 integrin/TNF-α and αvβ5 integrin/VEGF signaling in angiogenesis."
+2164,skin cancer,39195014,Microparticles Made with Silk Proteins for Melanoma Adjuvant Therapy.,"Melanoma is one of the most aggressive forms of skin cancer, which is characterized by metastasis and poor prognosis due to the limited effectiveness of current therapies and the toxicity of conventional drugs. For this reason and in recent years, one of the most promising strategies in the treatment of this form of cancer is the use of drug delivery systems as carriers capable of conveying the therapeutic agent into the tumor microenvironment, thus preventing its degradation and improving its safety and effectiveness profiles. In the present work, microparticles based on silk fibroin and epifibroin 0039, silk-derived proteins loaded with idebenone, were created, which act as therapeutic carriers for topical use in the treatment of melanoma. The resulting particles have a spherical shape, good loading efficiency, and release capacity of idebenone. Efficacy studies have demonstrated a reduction in the proliferation of COLO-38, melanoma tumor cells, while safety tests have demonstrated that the microparticles are not cytotoxic and do not possess prosensitizing activity. Notably, transdermal release studies revealed that all particles released idebenone over more days. The analysis of the stimulatory markers of the proinflammatory process, CD54 and CD86, did not show any increase in expression, thus confirming the absence of potential prosesensitization effects of the silk fibroin-based particles. The research, therefore, found that idebenone-loaded silk protein microparticles could effectively reduce the proliferation of melanoma cells without cytotoxicity. This indicates the promise of a safe and effective treatment of melanoma."

+2166,skin cancer,39194704,Skin Development and Disease: A Molecular Perspective.,"Skin, the largest organ in the human body, is a crucial protective barrier that plays essential roles in thermoregulation, sensation, and immune defence. This complex organ undergoes intricate processes of development. Skin development initiates during the embryonic stage, orchestrated by molecular cues that control epidermal specification, commitment, stratification, terminal differentiation, and appendage growth. Key signalling pathways are integral in coordinating the development of the epidermis, hair follicles, and sweat glands. The complex interplay among these pathways is vital for the appropriate formation and functionality of the skin. Disruptions in multiple molecular pathways can give rise to a spectrum of skin diseases, from congenital skin disorders to cancers. By delving into the molecular mechanisms implicated in developmental processes, as well as in the pathogenesis of diseases, this narrative review aims to present a comprehensive understanding of these aspects. Such knowledge paves the way for developing innovative targeted therapies and personalised treatment approaches for various skin conditions."
+2167,skin cancer,39194698,Ontogeny of Skin Stem Cells and Molecular Underpinnings.,"Skin stem cells (SCs) play a pivotal role in supporting tissue homeostasis. Several types of SCs are responsible for maintaining and regenerating skin tissue. These include bulge SCs and others residing in the interfollicular epidermis, infundibulum, isthmus, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands. The emergence of skin SCs commences during embryogenesis, where multipotent SCs arise from various precursor populations. These early events set the foundation for the diverse pool of SCs that will reside in the adult skin, ready to respond to tissue repair and regeneration demands. A network of molecular cues regulates skin SC behavior, balancing quiescence, self-renewal, and differentiation. The disruption of this delicate equilibrium can lead to SC exhaustion, impaired wound healing, and pathological conditions such as skin cancer. The present review explores the intricate mechanisms governing the development, activation, and differentiation of skin SCs, shedding light on the molecular signaling pathways that drive their fate decisions and skin homeostasis. Unraveling the complexities of these molecular drivers not only enhances our fundamental knowledge of skin biology but also holds promise for developing novel strategies to modulate skin SC fate for regenerative medicine applications, ultimately benefiting patients with skin disorders and injuries."

The exploration of therapeutics derived from natural products remains an active area of in vitro research. The aim of this study was to determine the antitumor effects of picrasidine I, a natural compound extracted from Picrasma quassioides, against two melanoma cell lines. We selected two metastatic melanoma cell lines, HMY-1 and A2058, for molecular studies, including Western blotting, 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole staining, and flow cytometry. Picrasidine I demonstrated cytotoxic effects against the HMY-1 and A2058 melanoma cell lines. It induced cell cycle arrest in the sub-G1 phase and downregulated cell cycle-related proteins (e.g., cyclin A2, D1, cyclin-dependent kinases 4, and 6). In the intrinsic apoptosis pathway, picrasidine I activated proapoptotic proteins (e.g., Bax, Bak, t-Bid, BimL/S) and suppressed the expression of antiapoptotic proteins (e.g., Bcl-2, Bcl-xL), with an observed increase in the quantity of depolarized cells. In addition, the apoptotic effects of picrasidine I were linked to the activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathways and the inhibition of the protein kinase B signaling pathway. A human apoptosis array indicated claspin inhibition upon picrasidine I treatment, suggesting the potential involvement of picrasidine I in apoptosis and cell cycle regulation. Our findings suggest that picrasidine I has potential as a candidate for treating advanced melanoma, and thus these findings warrant further investigation. The modulation of claspin expression by picrasidine I could be investigated further as a potential biomarker to predict its efficacy in related to advanced stages of melanoma."

Of 7500 LLAs carried out in England between 2015 and 2018, the majority of these were performed in dysvascular patients. Dysvascularity is the absence of adequate blood supply to maintain a limb's usual function (ischaemia, usually caused by peripheral arterial disease or diabetes mellitus), ultimately leading to pain and tissue injury (ulcers, gangrene, sometimes referred to as tissue loss). Among those who undergo dysvascular LLA, 5.7% and 11.5% will likely undergo contralateral LLA at one and five years respectively, which is associated with greater disability and lower likelihood of returning to work, increasing the psychological burden to the patient and socioeconomic cost to the patient and health service. While extensive research has been carried out in the management of peripheral arterial disease and the care of diabetic feet, there are no guidelines for practice on prevention of contralateral amputation."

To analyse the trends in NMSC incidence in Spain from 1990 to 2019, examining variations by sex, age, period, and birth cohort. Data on NMSC incidence was sourced from the Global Health Data Exchange. Age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs) were calculated using the direct method. Trends and average annual percentage changes were identified using Joinpoint regression analysis. Age-period-cohort analysis was applied to assess age-specific, period-specific, and cohort-specific relative risks. From 1990 to 2019, Spain reported 2,302,399 NMSC cases. ASIRs significantly declined post-2005, with men exhibiting slightly higher rates than women. Joinpoint analysis revealed distinct trends between genders, with men experiencing an initial rise followed by a decline, while women exhibited periods of increase interspersed with decline. APC analysis showed a net decrease in age-adjusted NMSC rates for both sexes. Local drift analysis showed a downward trend in most age groups, indicating a broad decrease at the population level. However, no decrease was observed in young men (20-24 years). Both sexes showed an increased risk of NMSC between 1990 and 2002, followed by a decrease. In particular, those born at the beginning of the 21st century showed a significant decrease in NMSC risk compared with earlier cohorts, suggesting a possible cohort effect. A comprehensive analysis of NMSC trends in Spain highlights the need for ongoing research and interventions to address the evolving burden."

This retrospective study aimed to profile skin toxicities and their impact on treatment adjustments. A total of 288 non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with first-, second-, or third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors were included. Skin toxicities, including papulopustular rash, xerosis, paronychia, and pruritus, were assessed based on medical records, and their severity was evaluated based on the required dermatological intervention. Papulopustular rash was the most common toxicity (74.3%), followed by pruritus (61.1%), xerosis (52.4%), and paronychia (39.6%). Papulopustular rash was more common in males and more severe in younger patients. Papulopustular rash was more prevalent in patients treated with first- and second-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, while paronychia was notably frequent for the second-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Second-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors frequently caused multiple skin toxicities. Importantly, skin toxicities led to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment adjustments in 26.7% of cases, with second-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors demonstrating higher adjustment rates. Papulopustular rash and paronychia were the main causes of treatment adjustments, with even mild paronychia being linked to treatment adjustments. Effective management of skin toxicities is essential for optimizing treatment outcomes in patients receiving epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors."

Squamous cell carcinoma constitutes 70% of cervical cancer cases, often metastasizing to lungs and paraaortic nodes. Uncommon sites include the brain, skin, spleen, and muscle, while pericardial fluid metastasis is highly rare. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix that was metastatic to the pericardium and was detected on cytologic evaluation of pericardial fluid. CASE REPORT A 42-year-old woman who was previously treated for stage III squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix presented with symptoms of cough, fever, and shortness of breath for 8 days, and chest pain for 3 days. Clinical workup revealed pericardial effusion, with spread to the lungs and mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes. Cytological analysis of the fluid showed malignant cells, consistent with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated cells positive for p63 and p40, while negative for GATA-3, D2-40, calretinin, and WT1. These findings in conjunction with patient's known history of cervical squamous cell carcinoma was consistent with a cytologic diagnosis of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma to pericardial fluid. CONCLUSIONS History and clinical correlation plays a vital role in determining the primary site causing malignant pericardial effusions. While the occurrence of cervical cancer metastasizing to the pericardium is uncommon, it should be considered, particularly in cases involving high-grade, invasive tumors, recurrences, or distant metastases. This possibility should be included in the list of potential diagnoses when encountering pericardial effusions with squamous cells in female patients."

+2188,skin cancer,39191742,SREBP2 restricts osteoclast differentiation and activity by regulating IRF7 and limits inflammatory bone erosion.,"Osteoclasts are multinucleated bone-resorbing cells, and their formation is tightly regulated to prevent excessive bone loss. However, the mechanisms by which osteoclast formation is restricted remain incompletely determined. Here, we found that sterol regulatory element binding protein 2 (SREBP2) functions as a negative regulator of osteoclast formation and inflammatory bone loss. Cholesterols and SREBP2, a key transcription factor for cholesterol biosynthesis, increased in the late phase of osteoclastogenesis. The ablation of SREBP2 in myeloid cells resulted in increased in vivo and in vitro osteoclastogenesis, leading to low bone mass. Moreover, deletion of SREBP2 accelerated inflammatory bone destruction in murine inflammatory osteolysis and arthritis models. SREBP2-mediated regulation of osteoclastogenesis is independent of its canonical function in cholesterol biosynthesis but is mediated, in part, by its downstream target, interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7). Taken together, our study highlights a previously undescribed role of the SREBP2-IRF7 regulatory circuit as a negative feedback loop in osteoclast differentiation and represents a novel mechanism to restrain pathological bone destruction."

Here, we show that pharmacological inhibition of LSD1 (LSD1i) in CTL in the context of adoptive T cell therapy (ACT) elicits phenotypic and functional alterations, resulting in a robust antitumor immunity in preclinical models in female mice. In addition, the combination of anti-PDL1 treatment with LSD1i-based ACT eradicates the tumor and leads to long-lasting tumor-free survival in a melanoma model, complementing the limited efficacy of the immune or epigenetic therapy alone. Collectively, these results demonstrate that LSD1 modulation improves antitumoral responses generated by ACT and anti-PDL1 therapy, providing the foundation for their clinical evaluation."

Here, we discuss how neoadjuvant therapy has the potential to offer significant advantages over adjuvant treatment, further improving outcomes in some patients with skin cancers, including melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, and cutaneous squamous-cell carcinoma. Both preclinical studies and in vivo trials have demonstrated that exposure to immunotherapy prior to surgical resection can trigger a broader and more robust immune response, resulting in increased tumor cell antigen presentation and improved targeting by immune cells, potentially resulting in superior outcomes. In addition, neoadjuvant approaches hold the possibility of providing a platform for evaluating pathological responses in the resected lesion, optimizing the prognosis and enabling personalized adaptive management, in addition to expedited drug development. However, more data are still needed to determine the ideal patient selection and the best treatment framework and to identify reliable biomarkers of treatment responses. Although there are ongoing questions regarding neoadjuvant treatment, current data support a paradigm shift toward considering neoadjuvant therapy as the standard approach for selecting patients with high-risk skin tumors."

The patient initially presented with encephalitis-like symptoms, including fever, headache, and abnormal mental behavior. However, the DWI hyperintensity in the corticomedullary junction indicated the possibility of NIID. Due to the negative results of the skin biopsy, we initially refrained from hastily diagnosing the patient with NIID. However, 6 months later, the patient was readmitted to the hospital due to similar symptoms, and a follow-up MRI showed significant enlargement of the lesions at the corticomedullary junction. This time we identified intranuclear inclusions in her tissue specimens from bladder surgery. Subsequently, genetic testing was performed, leading to the diagnosis of NIID in the patient. Our case report indicates that detecting intranuclear inclusions from previous surgical specimens, rather than relying solely on skin biopsy, could significantly enhance diagnostic methods for NIID."

+2211,skin cancer,39188449,Mammary Paget's Disease Mimicking Benign and Malignant Dermatological Conditions: Clinical Challenges and Diagnostic Considerations.,"Mammary Paget's disease (MPD) or Paget's disease of the breast is a rare dermatological malignancy of the nipple-areolar complex that manifests with a spectrum of symptoms spanning from itching and redness to more severe indications such as breast lump, nipple-areolar complex destruction, or nipple discharge. It is predominantly associated with an underlying ductal carcinoma in situ or invasive ductal carcinoma. MPD often masquerades as other benign and malignant dermatological conditions, including eczema, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and squamous and basal cell carcinomas, leading to delayed diagnosis and inappropriate treatment. Only one-third of the patients present with a palpable lump; therefore, advanced age with chronic and unilateral lesions should raise concern for MPD. Our review article presents case reports of MPD imitating other skin conditions and underscores the key findings of clinical features and diagnostic workup to help differentiate the condition. A literature review revealed that studies emphasize caution regarding the sole use of mammography and ultrasound in diagnosing MPD, particularly in cases lacking a palpable lump. This highlights the MRI as a superior and more accurate imaging tool. However, any suspicious lesion must be biopsied to allow histopathological and immunohistochemical examination, since there are some cases where MRI findings were negative in the presence of a biopsy-proven MPD. This highlights the need for clinicians to investigate any suspicious lesion of the nipple or breast using the complete triple assessment approach to exclude an underlying malignancy. It is imperative to establish therapeutic guidelines to approach any nipple lesion to minimize the risk of misdiagnosing any underlying cancer, which can be potentially fatal if left alone."

Thirty-seven volunteers (6 female/31 male, mean age 70, 35 white/2 non-white) with confirmed or suspected NMIUC were enrolled into either erlotinib (n=24; 900 mg-13, 600 mg-11) or placebo (n=13). Immunohistochemical assessment of phosphorylated and total EGFR in adjacent normal urothelium (20 erlotinib; 9 placebo) or tumor (21 erlotinib and 11 placebo subjects) at study end observed no significant difference between those receiving erlotinib or placebo. This was also true for other assessed tissue biomarkers (phosphorylated ERK, ERK, e-cadherin, p53 and Ki67). Adverse events were more common, in a dose-related fashion, in participants receiving erlotinib, e.g. 38% experienced Grade 1 with rare grade 2 diarrhea and skin toxicity vs 8% in placebo. Clinically insignificant, but statistically significant (p=0.001) elevations in serum total bilirubin and creatinine were observed in erlotinib participants. Serum erlotinib and metabolite concentrations (OSI-420) confirmed compliance in all erlotinib subjects and did not significantly differ between the 600 and 900 mg doses. Despite compelling pre-clinical and clinical data for targeted EGFR inhibition in bladder cancer prevention, these data do not support the use of weekly erlotinib to prevent progression of NMI bladder cancer."

We analyzed dermoscopic images from the International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC) dataset, spanning 2016-2020, encompassing a variety of skin lesions. Our approach integrates deep learning with a comprehensive radiomics analysis, utilizing a vast array of quantitative image features to precisely quantify skin lesion patterns. The dataset includes cases of three, four, and eight different skin lesion types. Our methodology was benchmarked against seven classification methods from the ISIC 2020 challenge and prior research using a binary decision framework. The proposed hybrid model demonstrated superior performance in distinguishing benign from malignant lesions, achieving area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) scores of 99%, 95%, and 96%, and multiclass decoding AUROCs of 98.5%, 94.9%, and 96.4%, with sensitivities of 97.6%, 93.9%, and 96.0% and specificities of 98.4%, 96.7%, and 96.9% in the internal ISIC 2018 challenge, as well as in the external Jinan and Longhua datasets, respectively.

+2215,skin cancer,39187492,Infection-induced peripheral mitochondria fission drives ER encapsulations and inter-mitochondria contacts that rescue bioenergetics.,"The dynamic regulation of mitochondria shape via fission and fusion is critical for cellular responses to stimuli. In homeostatic cells, two modes of mitochondrial fission, midzone and peripheral, provide a decision fork between either proliferation or clearance of mitochondria. However, the relationship between specific mitochondria shapes and functions remains unclear in many biological contexts. While commonly associated with decreased bioenergetics, fragmented mitochondria paradoxically exhibit elevated respiration in several disease states, including infection with the prevalent pathogen human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and metastatic melanoma. Here, incorporating super-resolution microscopy with mass spectrometry and metabolic assays, we use HCMV infection to establish a molecular mechanism for maintaining respiration within a fragmented mitochondria population. We establish that HCMV induces fragmentation through peripheral mitochondrial fission coupled with suppression of mitochondria fusion. Unlike uninfected cells, the progeny of peripheral fission enter mitochondria-ER encapsulations (MENCs) where they are protected from degradation and bioenergetically stabilized during infection. MENCs also stabilize pro-viral inter-mitochondria contacts (IMCs), which electrochemically link mitochondria and promote respiration. Demonstrating a broader relevance, we show that the fragmented mitochondria within metastatic melanoma cells also form MENCs. Our findings establish a mechanism where mitochondria fragmentation can promote increased respiration, a feature relevant in the context of human diseases."

Because PD-1 receptor inhibition activates tumor-specific T-cell immunity, research has predominantly focused on T-cell-PD-1 expression and its immunobiology. In contrast, cancer cell-intrinsic PD-1 functional regulation is not well understood. Here, we demonstrate induction of PD-1 in melanoma cells via type I interferon receptor (IFNAR) signaling and reversal of ICB efficacy through IFNAR pathway inhibition. Treatment of melanoma cells with IFN-α or IFN-β triggers IFNAR-mediated Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling, increases chromatin accessibility and resultant STAT1/2 and IFN regulatory factor 9 (IRF9) binding within a PD-1 gene enhancer, and leads to PD-1 induction. IFNAR1 or JAK/STAT inhibition suppresses melanoma-PD-1 expression and disrupts ICB efficacy in preclinical models. Our results uncover type I IFN-dependent regulation of cancer cell-PD-1 and provide mechanistic insight into the potential unintended ICB-neutralizing effects of widely used IFNAR1 and JAK inhibitors."

TET2 is vital for epigenetic regulation in melanoma and is significantly reduced in advanced melanomas compared with nevi and thin melanomas. However, it is unclear how TET2 mediates the effect of matrix stiffness on melanoma cells. This study utilized A2058 cell lines and prepared different stiffness collagen hydrogels to evaluate TET2 overexpression (TET2OE) and mutant (TET2M) melanoma cells' activity, proliferation, and invasion. A2058 melanoma cells' viability and invasion decreased with increased matrix stiffness, with TET2OE cells experiencing a more significant impact than TET2M cells. Methylation analysis revealed that TET2 determines gene methylation levels, influencing cell-ECM interactions. Transcriptome analysis confirmed that TET2 promotes matrix stiffness's effect on melanoma cell fate. This research provides promising directions and opportunities for melanoma treatment."

There is a strong need for less expensive drugs with a more favorable spectrum of anticancer actions. This study was designed to assess whether LY-2183240 (a potent inhibitor of both, anandamide cellular reuptake and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), an enzyme that degrades anandamide) has antiproliferative and cytotoxic effects on various human malignant melanoma cell lines (primary A375 and FM55P, metastatic SK-MEL28 and FM55M2) when administered alone or in combination with docetaxel, paclitaxel, mitoxantrone and cisplatin via the MTT assay. The MTT, LDH and BrdU assays were used to evaluate the potency and safety of LY-2183240, whereas isobolographic analysis of interactions was applied to characterize the interactions of LY-2183240 with the studied chemotherapeutics (docetaxel, paclitaxel, mitoxantrone and cisplatin). The isobolography confirmed that the combinations of LY-2183240 with docetaxel, paclitaxel and mitoxantrone produced additive interactions in all the tested melanoma cell lines. Only two antagonistic interactions for LY-2183240 combined with cisplatin in the A375 and FM55P cell lines were observed by the MTT assay. In conclusion, LY-2183240 can be considered an add-on drug for the treatment of melanoma, when combined with docetaxel, paclitaxel, or mitoxantrone, but not with cisplatin."

Fucosyl-GM1 (FucGM1) is a glycolipid overexpressed in the majority of SCLC tumors but virtually absent from normal healthy tissues. In this study, we validate a FucGM1-targeting T cell-redirecting bispecific (TCB) antibody for the treatment of SCLC. More than 80% of patient-derived xenograft tissues of SCLC expressed FucGM1, whereas only three normal human tissues: pituitary, thymus, and skin expressed low and focal FucGM1. A FucGM1-targeting TCB (SC134-TCB), based on the Fc-silenced humanized SC134 antibody, exhibited nanomolar efficiency in FucGM1 glycolipid and SCLC cell surface binding. SC134-TCB showed potent ex vivo killing of SCLC cell lines with donor-dependent EC50 ranging from 7.2 pmol/L up to 211.0 pmol/L, effectively activating T cells, with picomolar efficiency, coinciding with target-dependent cytokine production such as IFNγ, IL2, and TNFα and robust proliferation of both CD4 and CD8 T cells. The ex vivo SC134-TCB tumor controlling activity translated into an effective in vivo anti-DMS79 tumor therapy, resulting in 100% tumor-free survival in a human peripheral blood mononuclear cell admixed setting and 40% overall survival (55% tumor growth inhibition) with systemically administered human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Combination treatment with atezolizumab further enhanced survival and tumor growth inhibition (up to 73%). A 10-fold SC134-TCB dose reduction maintained the strong in vivo antitumor impact, translating into 70% overall survival (P < 0.0001). Whole-blood incubation with SC134-TCB, as well as healthy human primary cells analysis, revealed no target-independent cytokine production.

+2226,skin cancer,39186140,Fluorescence and Photophysical Properties of Anthracene and Phenanthrene in Water.,"Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widely spread pollutants in the environment, including soil and water. Anthracene (anth) and phenanthrene (phen) pose severe health impacts on human lives due to their carcinogenic nature by increasing cancer risk to the skin, lungs, and bladder. Fluorescence spectroscopy is a promising , efficient and straightforward tool for characterizing these trace PAHs in water. Therefore, the current work provides a detailed insight into the fluorescence properties of anth and phen in water. The fluorescence EEMs (excitation-emission matrices) of anth showed emissions at 380 nm, 400 nm, and 425 nm with single excitation at 250 nm, whereas phen showed two emissions < 380 nm, at 350 nm and 365 with single excitation at 250 nm. Then the theoretical EX/EM wavelengths were calculated by DFT and CIS-B3LYP for these compounds in water. The environmental effect of pH variation on fluorescence EEM shows a significant difference in fluorescence intensity without changing in peak locations, with highest fluorescence intensity at neutral pH than acidic and alkaline. Furthermore, the theoretical pH effect was described for the first time by simulating the protonated (+ 1), deprotonated (-1) and neutral molecules in water at the DFT level of theory. The variation in simulated oscillator strengths was similar in trend with the experimental fluorescence intensity of these compounds. The HOMO-LUMO were calculated to obtain the energy gap, molecular softness, molecular hardness, electronic potential and electrophilicity of anth and phen. To find the fluorophore contribution, the fluorescence of homogeneous mixture of both isomers was analyzed, which showed an enhanced fluorescence intensity of anth by 12-20%, whereas a decrease of 9-14% was observed in phen. This study describes that the fluorescence technique could be a fast and easy method to distinguish and identify PAHs isomers (anth and phen) in water."

Fibroblasts play a significant role in wound healing and tissue implants at different stages, including extracellular matrix production, collagen synthesis, and wound and tissue remodeling. This study explores the synergistic interplay between photothermal activity and nanomaterial-mediated cell proliferation. The use of different graphene-based materials (GBM) in the development of photoactive bioinks is investigated. In particular, we report the creation of a skin-inspired dressing for wound healing and regenerative medicine. Three distinct GBM, namely, graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and graphene platelets (GP), were rigorously characterized, and their photothermal capabilities were elucidated. Our investigations revealed that rGO exhibited the highest photothermal efficiency and antibacterial properties when irradiated, even at a concentration as low as 0.05 mg/mL, without compromising human fibroblast viability. Alginate-based bioinks alongside human fibroblasts were employed for the bioprinting with rGO. The scaffold did not affect the survival of fibroblasts for 3 days after bioprinting, as cell viability was not affected. Remarkably, the inclusion of rGO did not compromise the printability of the hydrogel, ensuring the successful fabrication of complex constructs. Furthermore, the presence of rGO in the final scaffold continued to provide the benefits of photothermal antimicrobial therapy without detrimentally affecting fibroblast growth. This outcome underscores the potential of rGO-enhanced hydrogels in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. Our findings hold promise for developing game-changer strategies in 4D bioprinting to create smart and functional tissue constructs with high fibroblast proliferation and promising therapeutic capabilities in drug delivery and bactericidal skin-inspired dressings."

These types of tumors have been associated with recurrence and malignant transformation; however, recurrence and malignancy are considered very rare. We present a case report of a 35-year-old male who presented with two lumps, clinically representing simple lipomas but one of them turned to be a hidradenoma. A 35-year-old gentleman not known to have any medical illnesses and surgically free, presented to our general surgery clinic complaining of two slow-growing (over 3 years) painless lumps, one in the right upper thigh and the other one in the left shoulder. The patient denied any previous history of trauma or infection nor any history of discharge or overlying skin changes, and there were no clinical features that might suggest the presence of malignancy. Upon examination, both lumps were firm, freely mobile, non-tender, intact overlying skin, with no skin changes, and no regional lymphadenopathy. Prior to excision, our preliminary impression was lipoma for both masses. Surgical excision was carried out with clear margins; each mass was labeled separately, and specimens were sent for histopathology. Histopathological diagnosis of the left shoulder mass was consistent with lipoma; however, the right upper thigh mass turned to be a hidradenoma. Hidradenomas are uncommon benign neoplasms with varied types. Recurrence and transformation into malignancy have been reported in some cases.

Excessive levels of 5-FU in the human body can lead to notable adverse effects, including severe diarrhea, infection, mouth sores, skin peeling, skin inflammation, and ulcers, which are important and relatively common digestive side effects. In addition, 5-FU is an analog of uracil and also has similarities to pyrimidines. Therefore, it is not easy to separate them. This research presented a sensor capable of detecting drugs in minimal amounts. An alginate-derived carbon dot (CD) was synthesized by unique optical properties that obey an on-off fluorescence mechanism for 5-FU sensing. Introducing copper (Cu(I)) to CDs results in fluorescence quenching through electron transfer. However, when 5-FU is added to the system as an oxidizing agent, a redox reaction occurs on the surface of the CDs, which leads to the restoration of fluorescence as Cu(I) is altered to Cu(II). Experimental results showed a strong linear correlation (R"

Topically applied 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), a nonspecific cytostatic agent, can cause various side effects. Its high polarity also results in low cell membrane affinity and bioavailability. Hydrogel, used for its occlusive effect, is one platform for treating chronic wounds combined with PEGylated liposomes (LPs), developed to increase drug-skin affinity. This research aimed to develop a novel hydrogel forming chitosan-based microneedles (HFM) chemowrap patch containing 5-FU PEGylated LPs, improving 5-FU efficiency for pre-carcinogenic and carcinogenic skin lesions. The results indicated that the 5-FU-PEGylated LPs-loaded HFM chemowrap patch exhibited desirable physical and mechanical characteristics with complete penetration ability. Furthermore, in vivo skin permeation studies demonstrated the highest percentage of 5-FU permeated the skin (42.06 ± 11.82 %) and skin deposition (75.90 ± 1.13 %) compared to the other treatments, with demonstrated superior percentages of complete wound healing in in vivo (47.00 ± 5.77 % wound healing at day 7) and in NHF cells (92.79 ± 7.15 % at 48 h). Furthermore, 5-FU-PEGylated LPs-loaded HFM chemowrap patches exhibit efficient anticancer activity while maintaining safety for normal cells. The results also show that the developed formulation of a 5-FU-PEGylated LPs-loaded HFM chemowrap patch could enhance apoptosis higher than that of the 5-FU solution. Consequently, 5-FU PEGylated LPs-loaded HFM chemowrap patch represented a promising drug delivery approach for treating pre-carcinogenic and carcinogenic skin lesions."

However, the success of targeted therapy using BRAF inhibitors vemurafenib and dabrafenib has been limited due to development of resistance, restricting their clinical efficacy. A prior knowledge of resistance mechanisms to BRAFi or any cancer drug can lead to development of drugs that overcome resistance thus improving clinical outcomes. In vitro cellular models are powerful systems that can be utilized to mimic and study resistance mechanisms. In this study, we employed a multi-omics approach to characterize a panel of BRAF mutant melanoma cell lines to develop and systematically characterize BRAFi persister and resistant cells using exome sequencing, proteomics and phosphoproteomics. Our datasets revealed frequently observed intrinsic and acquired, genetic and non-genetic mechanisms of BRAFi resistance that have been studied in patients who developed resistance. In addition, we identified proteins that can be potentially targeted to overcome BRAFi resistance. Overall, we demonstrate that in vitro systems can be utilized not only to predict resistance mechanisms but also to identify putative therapeutic targets."

Checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy plays an essential role in management of advanced MCC; however, predictors of immunotherapy response remain poorly defined. Syngeneic mouse models suitable for testing novel immunotherapy and combination therapy approaches are likely to soon become available and will require assays for evaluating the tumor microenvironment (TME). Multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) is a powerful approach to characterize the TME for understanding immunotherapy responses and immune surveillance. In this method article, we provide detailed instructions on assay development for mIF, using as examples 2 new mIF panels for TME investigations of human and murine MCC tumors. Specifically, we demonstrate panels that allow simultaneous visualization of the Merkel cell master transcription factor SOX2 for tumor cell identification, alongside T-cell markers (CD3, CD8, and FOXP3), macrophage markers (F4/80 for mouse and CD163 for human tumors), together with the checkpoint marker PD-L1 for human tumors, and the myeloid-derived suppressor cell marker Arg1 for mouse tumors. We provide detailed protocols for investigators to incorporate these mIF panels into their investigations of human and murine MCC. We also provide fundamental guidance for mIF assay development that will be broadly useful for investigators who consider modifying the panels presented in this study or developing their own mIF panels."
+2248,skin cancer,39182369,Polar contrast attention and skip cross-channel aggregation for efficient learning in U-Net.,"The performance of existing lesion semantic segmentation models has shown a steady improvement with the introduction of mechanisms like attention, skip connections, and deep supervision. However, these advancements often come at the expense of computational requirements, necessitating powerful graphics processing units with substantial video memory. Consequently, certain models may exhibit poor or non-existent performance on more affordable edge devices, such as smartphones and other point-of-care devices. To tackle this challenge, our paper introduces a lesion segmentation model with a low parameter count and minimal operations. This model incorporates polar transformations to simplify images, facilitating faster training and improved performance. We leverage the characteristics of polar images by directing the model's focus to areas most likely to contain segmentation information, achieved through the introduction of a learning-efficient polar-based contrast attention (PCA). This design utilizes Hadamard products to implement a lightweight attention mechanism without significantly increasing model parameters and complexities. Furthermore, we present a novel skip cross-channel aggregation (SC"

Despite effective local treatments, up to 50% of patients develop hematogenous metastases, highlighting the need for better prognostic markers and therapeutic targets. In this study, we developed an innovative Metastasis-Related Gene Signature (MERGS) score to classify patients from various cohorts. By establishing this scoring method, we discovered underlying mechanisms responsible for significant differences between samples with high and low MERGS scores. We identified a set of ten genes to construct MERGS, which showed a high predictive accuracy for patient survival. Further, Monoglyceride Lipase (MGLL) emerged as the most important gene in distinguishing uveal melanoma metastasis. Functional studies demonstrated that knocking down MGLL significantly inhibited proliferation, invasion, and migration of uveal melanoma cells in vitro and in vivo, while overexpression of MGLL enhanced these malignant behaviors. Additionally, MGLL modulated free fatty acid (FFA) levels within these cells. Our findings reveal MGLL as a crucial player in uveal melanoma progression and propose it as a novel therapeutic target, potentially leading to improved management and outcomes for patients with this disease."

However, the impact of eosinophil levels in the bloodstream on tumorigenesis risk remains inadequately explored. Furthermore, investigations regarding the association between drugs regulating eosinophils and cancer risk are currently absent. In this study, we conducted a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis utilizing eosinophil count and eosinophil percentage as exposures. In both cohorts, a significant association was observed between eosinophil count and the risk of colorectal cancer and skin malignancies. However, upon conducting a sensitivity analysis, heterogeneity was detected specifically in relation to skin malignancies. Subsequent reverse Mendelian randomization analysis did not indicate any evidence of reverse causality. Furthermore, the multivariate Mendelian randomization analysis results suggested that eosinophils act as a mediating factor in reducing the risk of colorectal cancer and skin malignancies in individuals with asthma. And the use of drugs that modulate eosinophilia may increase the risk of colorectal cancer. It is evident that the statistical evidence supporting a negative correlation between eosinophils count and the susceptibility to colorectal cancer is particularly robust. And, it is plausible to suggest that pharmaceutical interventions aimed at modulating eosinophilia may potentially heighten the risk of colorectal cancer. Hence, it is imperative to exercise caution and remain mindful of the potential risk of colorectal cancer when employing these medications."

This study aimed to investigate the bioaccumulation and potential health hazards of heavy metal contaminants (Fe, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb) in water, sediments, and tissues of the golden mahseer fish (Tor putitora) from Zhob River to assess their suitability for human consumption. Samples (soil, water, and fish) were collected from the Zhob River, and Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS) was employed to measure the concentration of these metals found in soil, water, and various fish body tissues (muscles, skin, gills, and liver). The overall results revealed that water quality parameters, i.e., temperature and pH were found within tolerable ranges, while electrical conductivity and turbidity exceeded the permissible limits of FAO/WHO for fish. Furthermore, this study also identified elevated concentrations of Pb in water and soil, as well as Fe and Cd in soil beyond the standards set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). In contrast, the concentrations of other targeted metals examined in fish body tissues were found below the permissible limits set by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO), indicating the suitability of this fish species for human consumption. The estimated daily intake (EDI) of these targeted metals in various fish body tissues was found to be within the recommended dietary allowance (RDA), suggesting no associated health risks for the local population. Furthermore, both the Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) and Total Target Hazard Quotient (TTHQ) values measured in this study were less than one, indicating the absence of potential non-carcinogenic health risks related to the consumption of this riverine mahseer fish, but combined metal intake may pose potential health risks. Carcinogenic risk assessment for some metals like Cd, Cr, and Pb revealed no cancer risk for consumers. Moreover, our present research observed comparatively high bioaccumulation (BAF) of each targeted metal in the fish liver from both Zhob River water and soil as compared to other body tissues. Multivariate analysis, including the correlation matrix, revealed strong and significant correlations (P < 0.05) among heavy metal pairs (Fe/Cr, Fe/Pb, Cr/Fe, Cr/Pb, Pb/Fe, Pb/Cr). Hierarchical cluster analysis and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were utilized to trace the origins of these metals, attributing their presence to nearby rock weathering, mining, as well as municipal and agricultural activities. These factors were recognized as potential sources of heavy metal bioaccumulation in riverine fish. Thus, our current study concluded that the Zhob River was contaminated with these heavy metals and emphasized the need to prevent domestic and industrial sewage inflow. The monitoring of these metals in the food chain was also underscored as crucial for reducing all kinds of associated health risks. This study provides the first report on heavy metal distribution in highly abundant and edible mahseer fishes of the Zhob River."

However, identifying this toxicity during preclinical studies is challenging due to the lack of accurate in vitro and in vivo animal-based models. Therefore, there is a need for reliable models that would allow the detection of this toxicity early during the drug development process. Herein, we describe the use of an in vitro skin explant assay to assess traditional DXR, Doxil reference listed drug (RLD) and two generic PEGylated liposomal DXR formulations for their abilities to cause inflammation and skin damage.

Strong inflammatory reactions with genotoxicity (short telomeres) suggest impaired immune defenses with DNA damage repair response (DDR) in patients with psoriasis. Recent evidence indicates the existence of crosstalk mechanisms linking the DDR machinery and hormonal signaling pathways that cooperate to influence both progressions of many diseases and responses to treatment. The aim of this study was to clarify whether steroid biosynthesis and genomic stability markers are altered in parallel during the formation of psoriatic skin. Understanding the interaction of the steroid pathway and DNA damage response is crucial to addressing underlying fundamental issues and managing resulting epidermal barrier disruption in psoriasis.

However, resistance to these therapies due to target absence or antigen shedding limits their efficacy and excludes tumours from candidacy. To address this limitation, here we engineer an oncolytic rhabdovirus, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSVΔ51), to express a truncated targeted antigen, which allows for HER2-targeting with trastuzumab. The truncated HER2 (HER2T) lacks signaling capabilities and is efficiently expressed on infected cell surfaces. VSVΔ51-mediated HER2T expression simulates HER2-positive status in tumours, enabling effective treatment with the antibody-drug conjugate trastuzumab emtansine in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo. Additionally, we combine VSVΔ51-HER2T with an oncolytic vaccinia virus expressing a HER2-targeted T-cell engager. This dual-virus therapeutic strategy demonstrates potent curative efficacy in vivo in female mice using CD3+ infiltrate for anti-tumour immunity. Our findings showcase the ability to tailor the tumour microenvironment using oncolytic viruses, thereby enhancing compatibility with ""off-the-shelf"" targeted therapies."

Although skin cancers occur most frequently in White individuals overall, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is an exception. CTCL is a rare skin cancer comprising several subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma; each contains a unique clinical profile that varies with race. Our aim is to review and compile the differences in epidemiology, clinical presentation, treatments, and outcomes of the CTCL subtypes in Black, Asian or Pacific-Islander (API), and Hispanic patients. The current literature supports that there are nuances in the course of CTCL that differ with race. Across multiple studies, racial differences in incidence patterns have been reported, with the highest rates among Black patients. Cutaneous manifestation of CTCL are highly variable in POC, and the predilection for clinical CTCL variants often differs with race, as well as severity of cutaneous involvement (BSA). Response to and type of treatment also differs among POC, and may be partially attributable to the varying CTCL subtypes experienced by certain races. Prognostic factors tend to vary with race, although Black patients consistently experience poor outcomes, while API patients may have a more favorable prognosis. Currently, there is no definitive conclusion to account for differences observed in CTCL skin of color patients, however biologic and socioeconomic factors have been proposed as potential drivers. As POC comprise an increasing portion of our population, adequate physician awareness and knowledge of racial nuances in CTCL are necessary to begin addressing these disparities."

A total of 746 patients with lower extremity NM were selected and randomly divided into a training set (522 cases) and a validation set (224 cases) from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results(SEER) database. The training set underwent univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses to identify independent prognostic factors associated with patient outcomes, and to develop a nomogram model. The effectiveness of the nomogram was subsequently validated using the validation set. Multivariable Cox regression analysis of the training set indicated that age, ulceration, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, primary site of first malignant tumor, and Breslow thickness were independent variables associated with OS. In the training set, the area under the curve (AUC) of the nomogram for predicting 3-year and 5-year OS was 0.796 and 0.811, respectively. In the validation set, the AUC for predicting 3-year and 5-year OS was 0.694 and 0.702, respectively.

We aimed to determine adherence to personal risk-tailored melanoma skin check schedules and explore reasons influencing adherence. Patients (with/without a previous melanoma) attending tertiary dermatology clinics at the Melanoma Institute Australia, Sydney, Australia, were invited to complete a melanoma risk assessment questionnaire via iPad and provided with personal risk information alongside a risk-tailored skin check schedule. Data were collected from the risk tool, clinician-recorded data on schedule deviations, and appointment booking system. Post-consultation, we conducted semi-structured interviews with patients and clinic staff. We used a convergent segregated mixed methods approach for analysis. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed and data were analysed thematically. Participant data were analysed from clinic records (n = 247) and interviews (n = 29 patients, 11 staff). Overall, there was 62% adherence to risk-tailored skin check schedules. In cases of non-adherence, skin checks tended to occur more frequently than recommended. Decisions to deviate were similarly influenced by patients (44%) and clinicians (56%). Themes driving non-adherence among patients included anxiety and wanting autonomy around decision-making, and among clinicians included concerns around specific lesions and risk estimate accuracy. There was moderate adherence to a clinical service program of personal risk-tailored skin check recommendations.

The objective of this study was to assess the self-reported  frequency of mole examination in a large, representative sample of the adult general population of 17 countries from all continents. Of a total of 17,001 participants, 4.8% had their moles checked by a dermatologist more than once a year, 11.3% once a year, 8.4% every 2-3 years, 12.4% once in a while, 10.3% once in lifetime, and 52.6% of participants had never performed a mole examination. Egypt was the country with the highest prevalence of people who performed a moles check more than once a year (15.9%), followed by Brazil and the USA. A higher frequency of mole checks was associated with sex (man vs woman), higher education, higher income, fair phototype, history of skin cancer, medical insurance, and sun-protective behaviours. Despite recommendations by health providers, it appears that the frequency of mole checks in the general population is still low. It is necessary for dermatologists to keep informing at-risk populations about the importance of moles check, with particular care regarding categories that less frequently adhere to secondary prevention measures."

Functional studies on the lymphatic vasculature rely extensively on the use of mouse models that allow selective gene targeting of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs). Here, we discuss LEC diversity and provide an overview of some of the commonly used LEC-specific inducible Cre lines and induction protocols, outlining essential experimental parameters and their implications. We describe optimized treatment regimens for embryonic, postnatal and adult LECs, efficiently targeting organs that are commonly studied in lymphatic vascular research, such as the mesentery and skin. We further highlight the anticipated outcomes and limitations associated with each induction scheme and mouse line. The proposed protocols serve as recommendations for laboratories initiating studies involving targeting of the lymphatic vasculature, and aim to promote uniformity in lineage tracing and functional studies within the lymphatic vascular field."

Herein, we describe a case of NRAS-mutant melanocytic tumor with a blue nevus-like morphology. A 71-year-old Japanese man presented with a 4.6-mm nodule on his back. Histopathological examination revealed a dense distribution of spindle-shaped melanocytes in the upper dermis and a sparse distribution of dendritic melanocytes in the mid-dermis. The vertical periadnexal extension reached the deep dermis at the center of the tumor. A small junctional component, hyperpigmentation, sclerotic stroma, mild nuclear atypia, and a few mitotic figures were observed. Immunohistochemical examination revealed no PRAME expression and preserved p16 expression. Diffuse RASQ61R immunoreactivity was observed in these tumor cells. Nuclear β-catenin expression was not observed. Targeted RNA sequencing revealed two mutations, NRAS c.182A>G (Q61R) and FGFR2 c.-157A>G, but no other pathogenic alterations such as BRAF, GNAQ, GNA11, CTNNB1, PRKAR1A, or IDH1 mutations or kinase gene fusions. The histopathology fits that of compound-type blue nevus, which is called ""Kamino nevus""; however, this tumor was genetically considered to be on the spectrum of conventional acquired melanocytic nevi but not on that of blue nevi.

It is found to be associated with a higher prevalence of internal malignancies, particularly lung carcinoma. Herein, we report a case of adenosquamous carcinoma confining within the lung in a patient who had long-standing SSc. She was a 55-year-old female patient presenting with progressive dry cough and breathlessness for six months. She had been a known case of diffuse cutaneous SSc for over a decade, based on 2013 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria. The diagnosis is made based on her findings of bilateral thickening of the fingers on both hands, extending up to the metacarpophalangeal joints. Furthermore, she had telangiectasia at the upper chest wall and neck, multiple pitting scars at the toes, Raynaud's esophageal dilatation, and interstitial lung disease (ILD). She had been treated on Mycophenolate Mofetil 500 mg twice daily and low-dose prednisolone 5 mg once daily for 10 years. The patient's high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the chest revealed a subpleural nodule in the posterior basal segment of the left lower lobe with areas of reticular opacities and interlobular septal thickening on bilateral lung fields six months earlier. The current computed tomography of the lung revealed a new 2.6 x 2.5 cm ill-defined lesion with irregular margins at the left lower lobe. A CT-guided biopsy was done for the lesion, which revealed adenosquamous carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry was consistent with a diagnosis of primary pulmonary adenosquamous carcinoma. The patient did not accept any further investigations and/or treatment. Herein, we present a rare lung malignancy, adenosquamous carcinoma of the lung with an underlying long-term diffuse cutaneous SSc in a nonsmoking female, which highlights the importance of lung cancer screening in individuals with SSc complicated with ILD and supports the fact that there is an increased prevalence of lung cancer among SSc-ILD patients than that of the regular population."

+2326,skin cancer,39169073,In vitro and in vivo evaluation of the diabetic wound healing properties of Saffron (Crocus Sativus L.) petals.,"Wound healing is a complex process orchestrated by interactions between a variety of cell types, including keratinocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, inflammatory cells, and bioactive factors such as extracellular matrix (ECM) components, growth factors, and cytokines. Chronic wounds exhibit delayed proliferative phase initiation, reduced angiogenesis, impaired ECM synthesis, and persistent inflammatory response. Chronic wounds are one of the main challenges to the healthcare system worldwide, with a high cost for medical services. Hence, investigation of new approaches to accelerate wound healing is essential. Phytomedicines are considered as potential agents for improving the wound healing by accelerating epithelization, collagen synthesis, and angiogenesis. These natural compounds have various advantages including availability, ease of application, and high effectiveness in wound managment. This study aimed to investigate the biological effects of saffron or Crocus sativus L. (C. sativus) petal extract on cell survival, migration, and angiogenesis using MTT, scratch and in vitro tube formation assays. Moreover, the expression of collagen type I alpha 1 (COL1A1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were evaluated in human dermal fibroblasts (HDF)s and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC)s, respectively. The effect of the C. sativus extract on the skin of diabetic mice was also monitored. The results showed that C. sativus petal extract promoted the viability and migration of HDFs and HUVECs. Moreover, C. sativus petal extract enhanced the formation of tube-like structures by HUVECs cultured on the Matrigel basement membrane matrix, indicating its potential to stimulate angiogenesis. Gene expression studies have shown the the C. sativus extract increases wound healing by upregulation of COL1A1 and VEGF, which are crucial factors involved in collagen deposition, epithelialization, and angiogenesis. Histological analysis revealed that C. sativus petal extract enhanced vascularity and increased the number of fibroblasts and collagen synthesis, ultimately accelerating wound closure compared to wounds treated with eucerin and commercial ointment in diabetic mice. Therefore, C. sativus petal extract has potential as a herbal treatment to improve the healing of diabetic wounds."

However, how SCs become activated and drive the tissue remodeling essential for skin repair is still poorly understood. Here, by developing a mouse model allowing lineage tracing and basal cell lineage ablation, we monitor SC fate and tissue dynamics during regeneration using confocal and intravital imaging. Analysis of basal cell rearrangements shows dynamic transitions from a solid-like homeostatic state to a fluid-like state allowing tissue remodeling during repair, as predicted by a minimal mathematical modeling of the spatiotemporal dynamics and fate behavior of basal cells. The basal cell layer progressively returns to a solid-like state with re-epithelialization. Bulk, single-cell RNA, and epigenetic profiling of SCs, together with functional experiments, uncover a common regenerative state regulated by the EGFR/AP1 axis activated during tissue fluidization that is essential for skin SC activation and tissue repair."

In this study, we investigate 7-phenoxy-benzimidazole derivative 12, which is a novel BRD4 inhibitor for the treatment of melanoma, by performing scaffold hopping on the previously reported benzimidazole derivative 1. Despite their good oral and intravenous exposure, the compounds obtained by modifying derivate 1 exhibit mutagenicity, which was confirmed by the positive Ames test results. Based on our hypothesis that the cause of the Ames test positivity is the metabolic intermediates generated from those chemical series, we implemented a scaffold hopping strategy to avoid the N-benzyl moiety by relocating the substituent groups to preserve the essential interaction. Based on this strategy, we successfully obtained compound 12; the Ames test results of this compound were negative.

Understanding the role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in these processes is crucial for developing new therapeutic strategies. This review aims to elucidate the relationship between ncRNAs and BRAF mutations in melanoma, focusing on their regulatory roles and impact on treatment resistance. We comprehensively reviewed current literature to synthesize evidence on ncRNA-mediated regulation of BRAF-mutant melanoma and their influence on therapeutic responses. Key ncRNAs, including microRNAs and long ncRNAs, were identified as significant regulators of melanoma development and therapy resistance. MicroRNAs such as miR-15/16 and miR-200 families modulate critical pathways like Wnt signaling and melanogenesis. Long ncRNAs like ANRIL and SAMMSON play roles in cell growth, invasion, and drug susceptibility. Specific ncRNAs, such as BANCR and RMEL3, intersect with the MAPK pathway, highlighting their potential as therapeutic targets or biomarkers in BRAF-mutant melanoma. Additionally, ncRNAs involved in drug resistance, such as miR-579-3p and miR-1246, target processes like autophagy and immune checkpoint regulation. This review highlights the pivotal roles of ncRNAs in regulating BRAF-mutant melanoma and their contribution to drug resistance. These findings underscore the potential of ncRNAs as biomarkers and therapeutic targets, paving the way for innovative treatments to improve outcomes for melanoma patients."

Indeed, the quantification of PD-L1 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in melanoma samples is already required, in some contexts, to allow access to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. Despite a rising demand for PD-L1 testing, paralleling increasing cumulative experience in its assessment and quantification, it is fair to recognize that PD-L1 evaluation in melanoma samples still presents some critical issues. The aim of this technical report is to develop and validate a multiplex double staining protocol for PD-L1/SOX10 in Ventana Benchmark Ultra for routine practice. Our results show that double labeling provides the necessary tools to identify PD-L1 + melanoma cells clearly. The simultaneous visualization of 2 different proteins targets allows the topographical relationship between the 2 labeling to be evaluated within the context of the tissue morphology.

In recent years, the focus of melanoma research has predominantly centered on immunotherapy and targeted therapy, grappling with challenges such as resistance and immunogenicity. The discovery of nanoparticles (NPs) has brought nano-delivery systems to the forefront of melanoma diagnosis and treatment. Although certain NPs, like liposomes, have gained clinical approval, utilizing most nano-delivery systems for melanoma diagnosis and treatment remains largely exploratory. The inherent limitations of NPs present a major obstacle to their clinical translation. By selecting suitable nanocarriers and functionalizing NPs to optimize nano-delivery systems, and combining these systems with other therapies, it is possible to reduce the systemic toxicity and resistance associated with conventional therapies and the NPs themselves. This optimization could significantly improve the effectiveness of nano-delivery systems in the early detection and timely treatment of melanoma. However, there have been few reviews on the optimization of NPs and the combined application of other therapies in the treatment and diagnostic application of melanoma in the past three years. This review summarizes the latest applications of nano-delivery systems in the diagnosis and treatment of melanoma over the past three years, including innovations and achievements in both preclinical and clinical studies, offering new perspectives on their potential and future application prospects. It integrates clinical data and patent information, highlights trends in nano-delivery system development, and offers new insights into their clinical translation. Additionally, it discusses the challenges and opportunities of nano-delivery systems in melanoma treatment, providing a foundation for advancing their application in diagnosis, treatment, and clinical translation."

+2349,skin cancer,39165674,Using Histologic Image Analysis to Understand Biophysical Regulations of Epithelial Cell Morphology.,"Epithelial mechanics and mechanobiology have become 2 important research fields in life sciences and bioengineering. These fields investigate how physical factors induced by cell adhesion and collective behaviors can directly regulate biologic processes, such as organ development and disease progression. Cell mechanics and mechanobiology thus make exciting biophysics education topics to illustrate how fundamental physics principles play a role in regulating cell biology. However, the field currently lacks hands-on activities that engage students in learning science and outreach programs in these topics. One such area is the development of robust hands-on modules that allow students to observe features of cell shape and mechanics and connect them to fundamental physics principles. Here, we demonstrate a workflow that engages students in studying epithelial cell mechanics by using commercial histology slides of frog skin. We show that by using recently developed artificial intelligence-based image-segmentation tools, students can easily quantify different cell morphologic features in a high-throughput manner. Using our workflow, students can reproduce 2 essential findings in cell mechanics: the common gamma distribution of normalized cell aspect ratio in jammed epithelia and the constant ratio between the nuclear and cellular area. Importantly, because the only required instrument for this active learning module is a readily available light microscope and a computer, our module is relatively low cost, as well as portable. These features make the module scalable for students at various education levels and outreach programs. This highly accessible education module provides a fun and engaging way to introduce students to the world of epithelial tissue mechanics."

Patients with refractory hemorrhoid disease have traditionally been treated with surgical hemorrhoidectomy. Rectal artery embolization has emerged as an alternative to surgical hemorrhoidectomy and has been shown to be safe and effective in case series and clinical trials completed over the past decade. Embolization has significantly less postprocedure pain when compared with surgical hemorrhoidectomy with similar outcomes. Pre- and postprocedure imaging are not routinely performed. Intraprocedural imaging consists of selective catheterization of the superior rectal arteries from the inferior mesenteric artery, and the middle rectal arteries from the internal iliac artery.

This topic is not well documented in canine mammary tumors (CMT). In this work, the tumoral TGFβ expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry in 67 malignant CMT and its correlation to previously determined FoxP3, VEGF, and CD31 markers and other clinicopathologic parameters was evaluated. The high levels of TGFβ were statistically significantly associated with skin ulceration, tumor necrosis, high histological grade of malignancy (HGM), presence of neoplastic intravascular emboli and presence of lymph node metastases. The observed levels of TGFβ were positively correlated with intratumoral FoxP3 (strong correlation), VEGF (weak correlation) and CD31 (moderate correlation). Tumors that presented a concurrent high expression of TGFβ/FoxP3, TGFβ/VEGF, and TGFβ/CD31 markers were statistically significantly associated with parameters of tumor malignancy (high HGM, presence of vascular emboli and nodal metastasis). Additionally, shorter overall survival (OS) time was statistically significantly associated with tumors with an abundant TGFβ expression and with concurrent high expression of TGFβ/FoxP3, TGFβ/VEGF, and TGFβ/CD31. The presence of lymph node metastasis increased 11 times the risk of disease-related death, arising as an independent predictor of poor prognosis in the multivariable analysis. In conclusion, TGFβ and Treg cells seem involved in tumor progression emerging as potential therapeutic targets for future immunotherapy studies."

We aimed to assess the biodistribution of extracellular vesicles (EVs), nanosized vesicles secreted by cells isolated from various human cell sources using PET. EVs were isolated from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) (MSC EVs), human macrophages (Mϕ EVs), and a melanoma cell line (A375 EVs) by centrifugation and were conjugated with deferoxamine for radiolabeling with Zr-89. PET using conjugated and radiolabeled EVs evaluated their in vivo biodistribution and tissue tropisms. Our study also investigated differences in mouse models, utilizing immunocompetent and immunocompromised mice and an A375 xenograft tumor model. Lastly, we investigated the impact of different labeling techniques on the observed EV biodistribution, including covalent surface modification and membrane incorporation. PET showed that all tested EVs exhibited extended in vivo circulation and generally low uptake in the liver, spleen, and lungs. However, Mϕ EVs showed high liver uptake, potentially attributable to the intrinsic tissue tropism of these EVs from the surface protein composition. MSC EV biodistribution differed between immunocompetent and immunodeficient mice, with increased spleen uptake observed in the latter. PET using A375 xenografts demonstrated efficient tumor uptake of EVs, but no preferential tissue-specific tropism of A375 EVs was found. Biodistribution differences between labeling techniques showed that surface-conjugated EVs had preferential blood circulation and low liver, spleen, and lung uptake compared to membrane integration. This study demonstrates the potential of EVs as effective drug carriers for various diseases, highlights the importance of selecting appropriate cell sources for EV-based drug delivery, and suggests that EV tropism can be harnessed to optimize therapeutic efficacy. Our findings indicate that the cellular source of EVs, labeling technique, and animal model can influence the observed biodistribution."

However, naturally occurring phenylethanoid glycosides are least explored under this class of compounds. One such phenylethanoid glycoside, verbascoside (Vb), abundantly found among 200 species of 23 families, has gained recent attention due to its wide-spectrum therapeutic properties such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, cardioprotective, skin-protective, and anti-cancer. Despite having multiple therapeutic benefits, due to its large size, the compound has poor bioavailability for oral and topical applications. To meet these limitations, current research on Vb focuses on delivering it through nanoformulations. Presently, most developed formulations are liposome based for various applications, such as corneal epithelial wound healing, anti-neuropathic, anti-wrinkle, anti-hyperalgesia, atopic dermatitis, alopecia, and cutaneous wound healing. Multiple studies have confirmed the least acute and sub-acute toxicity for Vb. Few clinical studies have been performed for the therapeutic application of Vb to manage COVID-19, nephropathy, platelet aggregation, chronic primary glomerulonephritis, and acute hepatitis. Recent studies have shown the immense therapeutic potential of Vb in wound healing, dermatitis, neuroprotection, and anti-cancer activities, which creates a need for developing novel formulations for their respective uses.

+2363,skin cancer,39162820,Actinic keratosis metrics.,"Actinic keratosis (AK) is a common precancerous skin condition predominantly affecting older males with fair skin and significant UV exposure. The clinical significance of AK is related to its potential for malignant transformation and progression to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Accurate diagnosis of AK is essential for adequate treatment, evaluation of therapeutic efficacy, and mitigating the risk of developing SCC. However, clinician variability due to the subjective nature of current diagnostic tools presents significant challenges to achieving consistent and reliable AK diagnoses. Thus, there is no universally accepted standard for measuring AK.This review evaluates current methods for evaluating and diagnosing AK, focusing on clinician variability through inter- and intraobserver agreement. Eight peer-reviewed studies investigating the reliability of various approaches for AK evaluation show substantial variability in interobserver or intraobserver agreement, with most methods demonstrating only slight to moderate reliability. Some suggest that consensus discussions and simplified rating scales can modestly improve diagnostic reliability. However, remaining variability and the lack of a universally accepted standard for measuring AK underscore the need for more robust and standardized diagnostic and evaluation methods.The review emphasizes the need for improved diagnostic tools and standardized methods to enhance the accuracy and reliability of AK assessments.

With the combination of hydrogel and alginate dressings, the authors achieved autolytic debridement of the wound and created a moist healing environment to facilitate wound closure. Hydrogel helps the dressing adhere better to the wound bed, ensuring that it does not easily detach during the wound healing process. It also eliminates the need for traditional adhesive tapes for fixation, thus avoiding damage to the fragile skin in the radiation field.The wound gradually decreased in size from an area of 10 × 12 cm, and exudate decreased continuously. The wound completely healed in 20 days with a total of 17 dressing changes. As the wound gradually healed, the patient's psychological burden decreased and comfort level increased. The patient expressed satisfaction and hope for the gradual healing of the wound.Thus, the treatment of severe acute radiation dermatitis with hydrogel combined with alginate dressings yields remarkable results, aligning the noninvasive, low-adhesive, absorbent, conformable, and comfortable attributes of optimized wound care. This experience provides a practical foundation for wound management in acute radiation dermatitis and supports clinical application and promotion of the approach."

The present case report introduces an EIC incidentally discovered during an axillary lymph node biopsy in a patient with invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast. A 55-year-old woman presented with a breast mass. Ultrasound revealed a suspicious mass, and a core needle biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma. Lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsies were performed. Histopathological examination revealed tumor-free lymph nodes, with one of them harboring a keratinous EIC. EICs typically arise from entrapped epidermal cells. Their presence in lymph nodes is exceptionally rare. While the origin of such inclusions remains unclear, various theories exist, including anomalous embryonic development, implantation, and metaplasia. This report highlights the unique presentation of an EIC within an axillary lymph node. Recognizing this entity is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis of malignancy and unnecessary interventions."

+2369,skin cancer,39160519,Case report: response to immunotherapy and association with the fh gene in hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer-associated renal cell cancer.,"Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome caused by a germline mutation in the fumarate hydratase (FH) gene that manifests with cutaneous leiomyomas, uterine fibroids, and renal cell cancer (RCC). Patients with HLRCC-associated RCC (HLRCC-RCC) have aggressive clinical courses, but there is no standardized therapy for advanced HLRCC-RCC. In this study, we described a case of aggressive HLRCC in a 33-year-old female who exhibited a novel heterozygous germline insertion mutation in exon 8 of the FH gene (c.1126 C > T; p.Q376*). The patient underwent laparoscopic resection of the right kidney, but metastases appeared within 3 months after surgery. Histological staining of the resected tumor revealed high expression levels of programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1). Therefore, the patient was treated with immunotherapy. The patient achieved a partial response to immunotherapy, and the treatment of metastatic lesions has continued to improve. A thorough literature review pinpointed 76 historical cases of HLRCC-RCC that had undergone immunotherapy. From this pool, 46 patients were selected for this study to scrutinize the association between mutations in the FH gene and the effectiveness of immunotherapy. Our results indicate that immunotherapy could significantly improve the overall survival (OS) of patients with HLRCC-RCC. However, no influence of different mutations in the FH germline gene on the therapeutic efficacy of immunotherapy was observed. Therefore, our study suggested that immunotherapy was an effective therapeutic option for patients with HLRCC regardless of the type of FH germline mutation."

The pneumothorax resolved after placing a chest tube and suction but recurred within a week. Progression of cystic features was also seen, and biopsies of the lung and scalp lesions were performed. Immunohistochemistry was positive for markers of endothelial cells (CD31 and ERG) and negative for markers expected to be positive in alveolar cells (keratin AE1/AE3 and TTF-1), supporting the diagnosis of metastatic angiosarcoma. Palliative chemotherapy did not prevent progression and the patient expired soon after.

We present a series of 5 cases of MMS utilized in Japanese patients. All cases had a favorable outcome, each benefiting from MMS with a smaller final defect or a higher likelihood of cure than standard excision. Slow adaptation of MMS in Japan likely is due to a lack of familiarity with the technique, lack of a training pipeline for physicians, barriers to payment for the procedure, and misconceptions among Japanese physicians. Our case series demonstrates the utility of MMS in treating skin cancer among Japanese patients."

Yet, little is known about the pattern of neutrophil infiltration in inflamed skin in vivo and the mechanisms mediating their recruitment. Here, we provide insight into the dynamics of neutrophil infiltration in skin in response to acute or repeated inflammatory stress, highlighting a novel keratinocyte- and keratin 17 (K17)-dependent mechanism that regulates neutrophil recruitment to inflamed skin. We used the phorbol ester TPA and UVB, alone or in combination, to induce sterile inflammation in mouse skin. A single TPA treatment results in a neutrophil influx in the dermis that peaks at 12 h and resolves within 24 h. A subsequent TPA treatment or a UVB challenge, when applied 24 h but not 48 h later, accelerates, amplifies, and prolongs neutrophil infiltration. This transient amplification response (TAR) is mediated by local signals in inflamed skin, can be recapitulated in ex vivo culture, and involves the K17-dependent sustainment of protein kinase Cα (PKCα) activity and release of chemoattractants by stressed keratinocytes. K17 binds RACK1, a scaffold protein essential for PKCα activity. The N-terminal head domain of K17 is crucial for its association with RACK1 and regulation of PKCα activity. Analysis of RNAseq data reveals a signature consistent with TAR and PKCα activation in inflammatory skin diseases. These findings uncover a novel, keratin-dependent mechanism that amplifies neutrophil recruitment in skin under stress, with direct implications for inflammatory skin disorders."

Despite a growing need for dermatologic care, the supply of dermatologists remains insufficient, contributing to disparities in healthcare access for this vulnerable group. This review aims to detail the spectrum of dermatologic conditions experienced by homeless individuals, identify barriers to adequate care, and explore teledermatology as a potential solution to bridge these gaps. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, analyzing studies and reports on dermatologic issues prevalent among the homeless population and the efficacy of teledermatology in addressing these concerns. Homeless individuals face a wide range of dermatologic problems, from common conditions like acne and eczema to severe issues such as cellulitis, leg ulcers, and skin cancer. Drug abuse, domestic and sexual abuse, and parasitic infestations further complicate the dermatologic health of this population. Teledermatology has emerged as a promising tool to enhance access to dermatologic care, showing significant improvements in clinical outcomes and accessibility, especially in underserved urban settings. However, challenges remain, such as the digital divide affecting the elderly and low-income populations, which could potentially exacerbate disparities. Addressing the dermatologic needs of the homeless population requires a multifaceted approach. Teledermatology offers a viable solution to improve care access and efficiency, but additional efforts are necessary to ensure inclusivity and avoid further marginalization. Volunteer-driven multidisciplinary clinics also play a crucial role in providing care, though they face challenges in continuity and resource availability. Future strategies should focus on integrating teledermatology with other supportive services to create a comprehensive care model for this underserved population."
+2382,skin cancer,39158613,Chronic disease management via modulation of cellular signaling by phytoestrogen Bavachin.,"The emergence of chronic diseases, particularly cancers, cardiovascular, and bone disorders, presents a formidable challenge, as currently available synthetic drugs often result in significant side effects and incur higher costs. Phytoestrogen Bavachin, present in the Psoralea corylifolia L. plant, represents structural and functional similarity to mammalian estrogen and has recently attracted researchers for its medicinal properties. This review spotlighted the extraction methods, bioavailability and therapeutic interventions of Bavachin against diseases. Bavachin exerted estrogenic properties, demonstrating the ability to bind to estrogen receptors (ERs), mimicking the actions of human estrogen and initiating estrogen-responsive pathways. Bavachin delivered potent therapeutic ventures in abrogating chronic diseases, including cancer, neuronal, bone, cardiovascular, skin, lung, and liver disorders via targeting signaling transductions, managing calcium signaling, immune regulation, inflammation, apoptosis, and oxidative stress. In-silico analysis, including Gene ontology and pathway enrichment analysis, retrieved molecular targets of Bavachin, majorly cytochrome c oxidase (COX), nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), Nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich-containing family, pyrin domain-containing-3 (NLRP3), and ER, hypothesizing Bavachin's cellular mechanism in preventing crucial health ailments. Limitations of Bavachin were also summarized, evidenced by hepatotoxicity at specific dosage levels. In conclusion, Bavachin showed promising therapeutic efficacy in suppressing chronic diseases and can be considered as an adequate replacement for hormone replacement therapy, necessitating further investigations on its effectiveness, safety, and clinical outcomes."

This study aimed to investigate its repairing effect and to combine it with proteomic technology to deeply resolve the related protein expression changes. Thirty SD rats were divided randomly into three groups (n = 10 per group): the sham-operated group, the model group and the scaffold group. Subsequently, we conducted a comparative analysis on trauma blood perfusion, trauma healing rate, histological changes, the expression of the YAP/TAZ signalling pathway and angiogenesis-related factors. Additionally, neonatal skin tissues were collected for proteomic analysis. The blood perfusion volume and wound healing recovery in the scaffold group were better than that in the model group (p < 0.05). The protein expression of STAT3, YAP, TAZ and expression of vascular-related factor A (VEGFA) in the scaffold group was higher than that in the model group (p < 0.05). Proteomic analysis showed that there were 207 differential proteins common to the three groups. Mitochondrial function, immune response, redox response, extracellular gap and ATP metabolic process were the main groups of differential protein changes. Oxidative phosphorylation, metabolic pathway, carbon metabolism, calcium signalling pathway, etc. were the main differential metabolic pathway change groups. Astragalus polysaccharide-containing 3D-printed scaffold had certain reversals of protein disorder. The Astragalus polysaccharide-containing 3D-printed scaffold may promote the VEGFs by activating the YAP/TAZ signalling pathway with the help of STAT3 into the nucleus, accelerating early angiogenesis of the trauma, correcting the protein disorder of the trauma and ultimately realizing the repair of the wound."

It is a low-grade cutaneous squamous carcinoma that usually develops in the oral cavity, the anogenital region, and the plantar surface of the foot. Clinically, there is low suspicion for malignancy given the slow growth of VC lesions and their wart-like appearance. Diagnosis can be difficult because of the benign histological appearance with well-differentiated cells and absence of dysplasia. Surgical excision is the only satisfactory form of treatment for plantar VC; however, this becomes difficult given its benign clinical appearance and the pathologic misinterpretation of the lesion as a benign hyperplasia. While there are case reports and retrospective studies of patients with plantar VC in the literature, we present the largest case series of plantar VC within North America, with recurrence despite negative margins."

In this report, we present a possible case of mosaic MHIBCC. A 57-year-old woman underwent the removal of four papules on her face, which were diagnosed as IBCCs. Exome sequencing revealed a SUFU c.1022+1G>A mutation within the skin tumor. The same mutation was detected in her blood but at a lower allele frequency. TA cloning revealed that the allele frequency of the mutation in the blood was 0.07. Additionally, tumor assessment revealed loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in chromosome 10, including the SUFU locus. These results indicate the patient had mosaicism for the SUFU mutation in normal tissues, aligning with the mosaic MHIBCC diagnosis. This, combined with LOH, likely contributed to IBCC development. Mosaic MHIBCC may present with milder symptoms. However, it may still increase the risk of developing brain tumors and more aggressive basal cell carcinoma. The possibility of mosaicism should be investigated in mild MHIBCC cases, where standard genetic tests fail to detect SUFU germline variants."

+2389,skin cancer,39157442,A multiparametric analysis including single-cell and subcellular feature assessment reveals differential behavior of spheroid cultures on distinct ultra-low attachment plate types.,"Spheroids have become principal three-dimensional models to study cancer, developmental processes, and drug efficacy. Single-cell analysis techniques have emerged as ideal tools to gauge the complexity of cellular responses in these models. However, the single-cell quantitative assessment based on 3D-microscopic data of the subcellular distribution of fluorescence markers, such as the nuclear/cytoplasm ratio of transcription factors, has largely remained elusive. For spheroid generation, ultra-low attachment plates are noteworthy due to their simplicity, compatibility with automation, and experimental and commercial accessibility. However, it is unknown whether and to what degree the plate type impacts spheroid formation and biology. This study developed a novel AI-based pipeline for the analysis of 3D-confocal data of optically cleared large spheroids at the wholemount, single-cell, and sub-cellular levels. To identify relevant samples for the pipeline, automated brightfield microscopy was employed to systematically compare the size and eccentricity of spheroids formed in six different plate types using four distinct human cell lines. This showed that all plate types exhibited similar spheroid-forming capabilities and the gross patterns of growth or shrinkage during 4 days after seeding were comparable. Yet, size and eccentricity varied systematically among specific cell lines and plate types. Based on this prescreen, spheroids of HaCaT keratinocytes and HT-29 cancer cells were further assessed. In HaCaT spheroids, the in-depth analysis revealed a correlation between spheroid size, cell proliferation, and the nuclear/cytoplasm ratio of the transcriptional coactivator, YAP1, as well as an inverse correlation with respect to cell differentiation. These findings, yielded with a spheroid model and at a single-cell level, corroborate earlier concepts of the role of YAP1 in cell proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes in human skin. Further, the results show that the plate type may influence the outcome of experimental campaigns and that it is advisable to scan different plate types for the optimal configuration during a specific investigation."
+2390,skin cancer,39156972,Liquid biopsy for diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of melanoma.,"Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer, and the majority of cases are associated with chronic or intermittent sun exposure. The incidence of melanoma has grown exponentially over the last 50 years, especially in populations of fairer skin, at lower altitudes and in geriatric populations. The gold standard for diagnosis of melanoma is performing an excisional biopsy with full resection or an incisional tissue biopsy. However, due to their invasiveness, conventional biopsy techniques are not suitable for continuous disease monitoring. Utilization of liquid biopsy techniques represent substantial promise in early detection of melanoma. Through this procedure, tumor-specific components shed into circulation can be analyzed for not only diagnosis but also treatment selection and risk assessment. Additionally, liquid biopsy is significantly less invasive than tissue biopsy and offers a novel way to monitor the treatment response and disease relapse, predicting metastasis."

Immune checkpoint receptors such as program death-1 (PD-1) and T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (TIM-3) are essential for the pathophysiology of many autoimmune and allergic diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of PD-1 and TIM-3 in CSU patients and their relationship to the anti-inflammatory cytokines (TGF-β and IL-10). In the current study, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from CSU patients and healthy individuals were used and the Urticaria Activity Score 7 (UAS7) was used to assess disease severity. TaqMan-based RT-PCR was used to assess the expression of TIM-3 and PD-1 as well as the anti-inflammatory cytokines transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and IL-10. The protein concentrations of TGF-β and IL-10 were also measured by ELISA. The relationship between the expression of TIM-3 and PD-1 as well as TGF- β and IL-10 and the severity of the disease was investigated. The results showed that PD-1 mRNA expression was significantly increased in CSU patients (P<0.0001), while TGF- β and IL-10 levels were higher in CSU patients, but this difference was not significant (p=0.638, p= 0.798). The increase in protein level of IL-10 was significant (P<0.0001). There was also a positive correlation between the expression of PD-1 and TGF- β molecules and disease activity (P=0.0043, P=0.0018). In conclusion, the study found that the immune system expresses inhibitory molecules and anti-inflammatory cytokines to control disease severity. The higher expression of PD-1 molecules and IL-10 is associated with disease severity, suggesting that the immune system is trying to control inflammation and reduce disease severity."

Although currently classified as a sweat gland carcinoma, it has been debated whether squamoid eccrine ductal carcinoma is better classified as a variant of SCC. Furthermore, therapeutic options for patients with advanced disease are lacking. Here, we describe clinicopathologic features of a cohort of 15 squamoid eccrine ductal carcinomas from 14 unique patients, with next-generation sequencing DNA profiling for 12 cases. UV signature mutations were the dominant signature in the majority of cases. TP53 mutations were the most highly recurrent specific gene alteration, followed by mutations in NOTCH genes. Recurrent mutations in driver oncogenes were not identified. By unsupervised comparison of global transcriptome profiles in squamoid eccrine ductal carcinoma (n = 7) to SCC (n = 10), porocarcinoma (n = 4), and microcystic adnexal carcinoma (n = 4), squamoid eccrine ductal carcinomas displayed an intermediate phenotype between SCC and sweat gland tumors. Squamoid eccrine ductal carcinoma displayed significantly higher expression of 364 genes (including certain eccrine markers) and significantly lower expression of 525 genes compared with other groups.

This robust computational framework provided a high-resolution view of S100A9's role in cancer biology. The study meticulously explored S100A9's oncogenic facets, incorporating comprehensive analyses of its relationship with prognosis, tumor mutational burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), DNA methylation, and immune cell infiltration across various tumor types. This study presents a panoramic view of S100A9 expression across a spectrum of human cancers, revealing a heterogeneous expression landscape. Elevated S100A9 expression was detected in malignancies such as BLCA (Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma), CESC (Cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma), COAD (Colon adenocarcinoma), ESCA (Esophageal carcinoma), and GBM (Glioblastoma multiforme), while reduced expression was noted in BRCA (Breast invasive carcinoma), HNSC (Head and Neck squamous cell carcinoma), and KICH (Kidney Chromophobe). This disparate expression pattern suggests that S100A9's role in cancer biology is multifaceted and context-dependent. Prognostically, S100A9 expression correlates variably with patient outcomes across different cancer types. Furthermore, its expression is intricately associated with TMB and MSI in nine cancer types. Detailed examination of six selected tumors-BRCA, CESC, KIRC (Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma), LUSC (Lung squamous cell carcinoma), SKCM (Skin Cutaneous Melanoma); STAD (Stomach adenocarcinoma)-revealed a negative correlation of S100A9 expression with the infiltration of most immune cells, but a positive correlation with neutrophils, M1 macrophages, and activated NK cells, highlighting the complex interplay between S100A9 and the tumor immune environment. This bioinformatics synthesis posits S100A9 as a significant player in cancer progression, offering valuable prognostic insights. The data underscore the utility of S100A9 as a prognostic biomarker and its potential as a therapeutic target. The therapeutic implications are profound, suggesting that modulation of S100A9 activity could significantly impact cancer management strategies."
+2405,skin cancer,39153970,Prognostic and immune infiltration implications of SIGLEC9 in SKCM.,"The occurrence and progression of skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) is strongly associated with immune cells infiltrating the tumor microenvironment (TME). This study examined the expression, prognosis, and immune relevance of SIGLEC9 in SKCM using multiple online databases. Analysis of the GEPIA2 and Ualcan databases revealed that SIGLEC9 is highly expressed in SKCM, and patients with high SIGLEC9 expression had improved overall survival (OS). Furthermore, the mutation rate of SIGLEC9 in SKCM patients was found to be 5.41%, the highest observed. The expression of SIGLEC9 was positively correlated with macrophages, neutrophils and B cells, CD8 + T cells, CD4 + T cells, and dendritic cells, according to TIMER. Based on TCGA-SKCM data, we verified that high SIGLEC9 expression is closely associated with a good prognosis for SKCM patients, including overall survival, progression-free interval, and disease-specific survival. This positive prognosis could be due to the infiltration of immune cells into the TME. Additionally, our analysis of single-cell transcriptome data revealed that SIGLEC9 not only played a role in the normal skin immune microenvironment, but is also highly expressed in immune cell subpopulations of SKCM patients, regulating the immune response to tumors. Our findings suggest that the close association between SIGLEC9 and SKCM prognosis is primarily mediated by its effect on the tumor immune microenvironment."

+2409,skin cancer,39153434,c-Myc-XRCC2-FOS axis promotes the proliferation and the resistance to Doxorubicin of NSCLC.,"Lung cancer represents one of the most prevalent malignant neoplasms, commanding an alarming incidence and mortality rate globally. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), constituting approximately 80 %-90 % of all lung cancer cases, is the predominant pathological manifestation of this disease, with a disconcerting 5-year survival rate scarcely reaching 10 %. Extensive prior investigations have elucidated that the aberrant expression of X-ray repair cross-complementing gene 2 (XRCC2), a critical meiotic gene intricately involved in the DNA damage repair process, is intimately associated with tumorigenesis. Nevertheless, the precise roles and underlying mechanistic pathways of XRCC2 in NSCLC remain largely elusive. In the present study, we discerned an overexpression of XRCC2 within NSCLC patient tissues, particularly in high-grade samples, when juxtaposed with normal tissues. Targeted knockdown of XRCC2 notably impeded the proliferation of NSCLC both in vitro and in vivo. Comprehensive RNA sequencing and flow rescue assays unveiled that XRCC2 augments the proliferation of NSCLC cells through the down-regulation of FOS expression. Moreover, the c-Myc gene was definitively identified as an XRCC2 transcriptional factor by means of chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and luciferase reporter assays, whereby pharmacological attenuation of c-Myc expression, in conjunction with Doxorubicin, synergistically curtailed NSCLC cell growth both in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, our findings proffer critical insights into the novel c-Myc-XRCC2-FOS axis in promoting both proliferation and resistance to Doxorubicin in NSCLC cells, thereby extending a promising avenue for potential new diagnostic strategies and therapeutic interventions in NSCLC."
+2410,skin cancer,39153395,Semantic segmentation in skin surface microscopic images with artifacts removal.,"Skin surface imaging has been used to examine skin lesions with a microscope for over a century and is commonly known as epiluminescence microscopy, dermatoscopy, or dermoscopy. Skin surface microscopy has been recommended to reduce the necessity of biopsy. This imaging technique could improve the clinical diagnostic performance of pigmented skin lesions. Different imaging techniques are employed in dermatology to find diseases. Segmentation and classification are the two main steps in the examination. The classification performance is influenced by the algorithm employed in the segmentation procedure. The most difficult aspect of segmentation is getting rid of the unwanted artifacts. Many deep-learning models are being created to segment skin lesions. In this paper, an analysis of common artifacts is proposed to investigate the segmentation performance of deep learning models with skin surface microscopic images. The most prevalent artifacts in skin images are hair and dark corners. These artifacts can be observed in the majority of dermoscopy images captured through various imaging techniques. While hair detection and removal methods are common, the introduction of dark corner detection and removal represents a novel approach to skin lesion segmentation. A comprehensive analysis of this segmentation performance is assessed using the surface density of artifacts. Assessment of the PH2, ISIC 2017, and ISIC 2018 datasets demonstrates significant enhancements, as reflected by Dice coefficients rising to 93.49 (86.81), 85.86 (79.91), and 75.38 (51.28) respectively, upon artifact removal. These results underscore the pivotal significance of artifact removal techniques in amplifying the efficacy of deep-learning models for skin lesion segmentation."

These issues could be mitigated by using drug delivery systems, such as functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), known for their versatility and unique properties. This study aimed to develop multi-shell AuNPs functionalized with MTX for the improvement of MTX antitumoral, antioxidant, and biocompatibility features. Stable phosphine-coated AuNPs were synthesized and functionalized with tailored polyethylene glycol (PEG) and short-branched polyethyleneimine (PEI) moieties, followed by MTX covalent binding. Physicochemical characterization by UV-vis and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the synthesis at each step. The antioxidant activity of functionalized AuNPs was determined using DPPH radical scavenging assay, ferric ions' reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) assays. Biocompatibility and cytotoxicity were assessed using MTT and LDH assays on HaCaT human keratinocytes and CAL27 squamous cell carcinoma. MTX functionalized AuNPs demonstrated enhanced antioxidant activity and a pronounced cytotoxic effect on the tumoral cells compared to their individual components, highlighting their potential for improving cancer therapy."

+2421,skin cancer,39152325,HOXC10 promotes hypertrophic scar fibroblast fibrosis through the regulation of STMN2 and the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway.,"The pathophysiology of hypertrophic scar (HS) shares similarities with cancer. HOXC10, a gene significantly involved in cancer development, exhibits higher expression levels in HS than in normal skin (NS), suggesting its potential role in HS regulation. And the precise functions and mechanisms by which HOXC10 influences HS require further clarification. Gene and protein expressions were analyzed using raeal-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot techniques. Cell proliferation and migration were evaluated using EdU proliferation assays, CCK-8 assays, scratch assays, and Transwell assays. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and dual-luciferase reporter assays were conducted to investigate the interactions between HOXC10 and STMN2. HOXC10 and STMN2 expression levels were significantly higher in HS tissues compared with NS tissues. Silencing HOXC10 led to decreased activation, proliferation, migration, and fibrosis in hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (HSFs). Our findings also indicate that HOXC10 directly targets STMN2. The promotional effects of HOXC10 knockdown on HSF activation, proliferation, migration, and fibrosis were reversed by STMN2 overexpression. We further demonstrated that HOXC10 regulates HSF activity through the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway. HOXC10 induces the activation and fibrosis of HSFs by promoting the transcriptional activation of STMN2 and engaging the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway. This study suggests that HOXC10 could be a promising target for developing treatments for HS."
+2422,skin cancer,39152181,Classification of melanocytic lesions using direct illumination multispectral imaging.,"With rising melanoma incidence and mortality, early detection and surgical removal of primary lesions is essential. Multispectral imaging is a new, non-invasive technique that can facilitate skin cancer detection by measuring the reflectance spectra of biological tissues. Currently, incident illumination allows little light to be reflected from deeper skin layers due to high surface reflectance. A pilot study was conducted at the University Hospital Basel to evaluate, whether multispectral imaging with direct light coupling could extract more information from deeper skin layers for more accurate dignity classification of melanocytic lesions. 27 suspicious pigmented lesions from 23 patients were included (6 melanomas, 6 dysplastic nevi, 12 melanocytic nevi, 3 other). Lesions were imaged before excision using a prototype snapshot mosaic multispectral camera with incident and direct illumination with subsequent dignity classification by a pre-trained multispectral image analysis model. Using incident light, a sensitivity of 83.3% and a specificity of 58.8% were achieved compared to dignity as determined by histopathological examination. Direct light coupling resulted in a superior sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 82.4%. Convolutional neural network classification of corresponding red, green, and blue lesion images resulted in 16.7% lower sensitivity (83.3%, 5/6 malignant lesions detected) and 20.9% lower specificity (61.5%) compared to direct light coupling with multispectral image classification. Our results show that incorporating direct light multispectral imaging into the melanoma detection process could potentially increase the accuracy of dignity classification. This newly evaluated illumination method could improve multispectral applications in skin cancer detection. Further larger studies are needed to validate the camera prototype."
+2423,skin cancer,39152155,Identification of novel small molecule-based strategies of COL7A1 upregulation and readthrough activity for the treatment of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.,"Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a rare genetic disease caused by loss of function mutations in the gene coding for collagen VII (C7) due to deficient or absent C7 expression. This disrupts structural and functional skin architecture, leading to blistering, chronic wounds, inflammation, important systemic symptoms affecting the mouth, gastrointestinal tract, cornea, and kidney function, and an increased skin cancer risk. RDEB patients have an extremely poor quality of life and often die at an early age. A frequent class of mutations in RDEB is premature termination codons (PTC), which appear in homozygosity or compound heterozygosity with other mutations. RDEB has no cure and current therapies are mostly palliative. Using patient-derived keratinocytes and a library of 8273 small molecules and 20,160 microbial extracts evaluated in a phenotypic screening interrogating C7 levels, we identified three active chemical series. Two of these series had PTC readthrough activity, and one upregulated C7 mRNA, showing synergistic activity when combined with the reference readthrough molecule gentamicin. These compounds represent novel potential small molecule-based systemic strategies that could complement topical-based treatments for RDEB."

Animal-derived hydrolyzed collagen peptides have been developed to treat UV-damaged skin; however, they have raised severe concerns such as potential viral transmission, random sequences and the lack of a triple helix structure. Nano collagen, a novel type of short collagen, has attracted increasing attention in the mimicking of natural collagen, while its applications in UV-damaged skin treatment remains unexplored. Herein, we have created a series of nano collagens and for the first time studied their capability of accelerating UV-damaged skin healing. Nano collagens, consisting of repetitive (GPO)n triplets and a GFOGER motif, display a stable triple-helical structure, significantly promoting fibroblast adhesion, proliferation, and migration. The repair effects of nano collagens have been investigated using an acute UV-damaged skin mouse model. Combo evaluations indicate that nano collagens contribute to recovering the dermis density and erythema index of UV-damaged skin.

Characterized by its challenging diagnosis and poor prognosis, PCGD-TCL presents unique clinical and histopathological features that distinguish it from other primary cutaneous lymphoma subtypes. Here, we report the case of a 75-year-old man who initially presented with multiple erythematous indurated plaques over his back and bilateral lower extremities. The initial biopsy suggested primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (PCTCL) with a CD30-negative phenotype. However, within a 2-month interval, the disease progressed rapidly, manifesting as extensive skin involvement across the chest and upper extremities. A repeat skin biopsy was performed, revealing dermal atypical lymphocytes without epidermotropism. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated positivity for CD3, CD5, and CD4, as well as T-cell receptor delta (TCR delta) expression, along with the loss of CD8 and CD30 expression. These findings were consistent with a diagnosis of PCGD-TCL. Despite therapeutic interventions, including systemic treatments, the patient's condition deteriorated rapidly, ultimately leading to his demise within a month of receiving the PCGD-TCL diagnosis. This case highlights the diagnostic complexities associated with PCGD-TCL, emphasizing the importance of careful histopathological examination and immunophenotypic characterization. Given its aggressive nature and propensity for rapid dissemination, early recognition of PCGD-TCL is paramount for initiating appropriate therapeutic interventions. However, effective treatment options for PCGD-TCL remain limited, and the disease typically carries an unfavorable prognosis. Further research is needed to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms driving the pathogenesis of PCGD-TCL, to identify novel therapeutic targets, and to improve patient outcomes. In addition, increased awareness among clinicians and pathologists regarding the clinical presentation and diagnostic criteria of PCGD-TCL is crucial for facilitating timely diagnosis and management of this challenging malignancy."

This study aimed to examine the clinicopathologic relevance of TSR in Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) using artificial intelligence (AI)-based parameterization of the stromal landscape and validate TSR scores generated by our AI model against those assessed by humans. One hundred twelve MCC cases with whole-slide images were collected from 4 different institutions. Whole-slide images were first partitioned into 128 × 128-pixel ""mini-patches,"" then classified using a novel framework, termed pre-tumor and stroma (Pre-TOAST) and TOAST, whose output equaled the probability of the minipatch representing tumor cells rather than stroma. Hierarchical random samplings of 50 minipatches per region were performed throughout 50 regions per slide. TSR and tumor-stroma landscape (TSL) parameters were estimated using the maximum-likelihood algorithm. Receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the area under the curve value of Pre-TOAST in discriminating classes of interest including tumor cells, collagenous stroma, and lymphocytes from nonclasses of interest including hemorrhage, space, and necrosis was 1.00. The area under the curve value of TOAST in differentiating tumor cells from related stroma was 0.93. MCC stroma was categorized into TSR high (TSR ≥ 50%) and TSR low (TSR < 50%) using both AI- and human pathology-based methods. The AI-based TSR-high subgroup exhibited notably shorter metastasis-free survival (MFS) with a statistical significance of P = .029. Interestingly, pathologist-determined TSR subgroups lacked statistical significance in recurrence-free survival, MFS, and overall survival (P > .05). Density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise analysis identified the following 2 distinct TSL clusters: TSL1 and TSL2. TSL2 showed significantly shorter recurrence-free survival (P = .045) and markedly reduced MFS (P < .001) compared with TSL1. TSL classification appears to offer better prognostic discrimination than traditional TSR evaluation in MCC. TSL can be reliably calculated using an AI-based classification framework and predict various prognostic features of MCC."

Recent advances in immunometabolism have highlighted the intricate link between cellular metabolism and immune function, particularly in the context of skin cancers. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the key metabolic pathways and adaptations that occur in immune cells during homeostasis and activation, and explore how metabolic reprogramming contributes to the pathogenesis of specific skin cancers. We discuss the complex interplay between tumor cells and infiltrating immune cells, which shapes the tumor microenvironment and influences disease outcomes. The review delves into the role of various metabolic pathways, such as glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation, and lipid metabolism, in the regulation of immune cell function and their impact on the development and progression of skin cancers. Furthermore, we examine the potential of targeting metabolic pathways as a therapeutic strategy in skin cancers and discuss the challenges and future perspectives in this rapidly evolving field. By understanding the metabolic basis of skin immune responses, we can develop novel, personalized therapies for the treatment of skin cancers, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life. The insights gained from this review will contribute to the growing body of knowledge in immunometabolism and its application in the management of skin cancers, paving the way for more effective and targeted interventions in the future."

The work aimed to present the results of the validation of a new design of an electron beam applicator for use in IOERT. A novel solution was described along with the design optimization method based on Monte Carlo simulations. In this solution, the applicator consists of two parts. The lower exchangeable part collimates the therapeutic field. Measurements were made based on the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard recommendations. The measurement described in the standard has been adapted to the specificity of the intraoperative accelerator Source to Skin Distance - of 60 cm and applicators with a circular cross-sectional area. Measurements were performed for nominal beam energies of 6, 10, and 12 MeV and two therapeutic field diameters of 6 and 10 cm. The dose due to stray X-ray radiation in all energies is less than 0.3% and increases for energies from 6 to 12 MeV by 2.9 times from 0.1 for 6MeV to 0.29 for 12 MeV. The average dose due to leakage radiation also shows an increasing trend and is higher for a 6 cm diameter applicator. Validation confirmed the usefulness of the novel applicator design for clinical applications. Thanks to the use of 3D printing, it was possible to make applicators that are transparent, biocompatible and, at the same time, light and form a beam field with therapeutically useful accuracy, and the leakage radiation does not exceed normative recommendations."

Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) regulates antioxidant enzymes and has demonstrated protective effects against chronic diseases. Jeju lava seawater (JLS), which is rich in minerals, is attracting attention for its health benefits. The current study investigates the antioxidant properties of JLS in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). experiments were conducted by culturing HDFs in JLS with different water hardness levels and irradiating UVB. The results show that JLS does not affect HDF viability, especially at high water hardness. JLS treatment enhances collagen production and upregulates Nrf2 and antioxidant enzymes such as NQO1 and HO-1. This mechanism involves the translocation of Nrf2 to the cell nucleus. JLS shows promise as an antioxidant, potentially mitigating the effects of oxidative stress and promoting collagen synthesis."

This study was performed to clarify the expression of AQP1, 3, 5, the most studied AQPs in tumor biology, in sebaceous adenoma and sebaceous epithelioma. Among these AQPs, only AQP3 was expressed in normal tissue and both tumor types and located to only undifferentiated sebocytes (basaloid cells).

+2468,skin cancer,39142849,Current trends in breast cancer surgery.,"The incidence of breast cancer has been increasing significantly over the past decades, while the mortality rate has, actually, been decreasing. Behind this favorable trend in the decrease in mortality are not only high-quality screening programs, but also undoubtedly advances in therapy, especially new methods in surgical treatment. The importance of oncoplastic approach integrating resection and reconstruction procedures is obvious. Our efforts continue to maximize breast-conserving therapy, which is being improved in parallel with the development of new localization methods of non-palpable lesions. Breast-conserving therapy indication spectrum is also increasing with the use of oncoplastic approach allowing the resection of a significant part of the mammary gland while achieving an acceptable cosmetic result. We improve guidelines for skin-sparing procedures and also possibilities and availability of breast reconstruction. Most popular is breast reconstruction with free abdominal flap transfer. However, due to such demanding complex procedure with limited availability, there is also a significant development of silicone-implant-based reconstruction or methods of fat transfer. Constant attention is focused on axillary surgery, now especially in cases of initial nodal involvement that responds favorably to neoadjuvant systemic treatment. Current findings indicate tendency to modify and differentiate surgical indications according to the tumor phenotype. Complex lymphedema prevention surgery, such as lymphatic mapping or restoring lymphatic flow via microsurgical lymphaticovenous anastomosis, can provide effective and long-term improvement and is challenging. Recently in the Czech Republic, we reopened the discussion about the optimal concentration of medical care in a smaller number of specialized breast centers, which we think is one of a number of steps on the constant path to improve medical results."
+2469,skin cancer,39142244,ACOT7 positively regulated by CREB1 promotes the progression of cutaneous melanoma.,"Cutaneous melanoma (cM) is a prevalent invasive cancer resulting from the malignant transformation of melanocytes. At present, the primary treatment for melanoma is surgical resection, which is not appropriate for patients with metastasis. Therefore, it is necessary to identify effective therapeutic targets for the early diagnosis and treatment of metastatic melanoma. Acyl-CoA thioesterase 7 (ACOT7) has been reported to be involved in the progression of multiple cancer, while its role in melanoma has not been extensively researched. Through gain-of-function and loss-of-function experiments, ACOT7 was identified as a tumor promoter that facilitates the progression of melanoma cells. Cell proliferation was promoted by overexpressing ACOT7 in M14 cells, and was suppressed by silencing ACOT7 in MeWo cells. Knockdown of ACOT7 induced cell cycle arrest by increasing the expressions of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1B (P27) and cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1 A (P21), while simultaneously reducing proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression. Upregulation of ACOT7 promoted the cell cycle of melanoma cells. Additionally, apoptosis was induced by the absence of ACOT7 through activating caspase-3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). The metastatic and invasive capacity of melanoma cells was significantly enhanced by the overexpression of ACOT7 and inhibited by the downregulation of ACOT7. Moreover, the cAMP responsive element binding protein 1 (CREB1) positively regulates ACOT7 expression by binding to its promoter region. A decrease of cell proliferation, migration and invasion, as well as an increase of cell apoptosis induced by silencing CREB1 were obviously reversed by ACOT7. In summary, ACOT7 transcriptionally activated by CREB1 elevates the progression of cM."

However, characterizing the pEV proteome is challenging due to its relatively low abundance and difficulties in enrichment. This study presents a streamlined workflow to identify EV proteins from cancer patient plasma using minimal sample input. Starting with 400 μL of plasma, we generated a comprehensive pEV proteome using size exclusion chromatography (SEC) combined with HiRIEF prefractionation-based mass spectrometry (MS). First, we compared the performance of HiRIEF and long gradient MS workflows using control pEVs, quantifying 2076 proteins with HiRIEF. In a proof-of-concept study, we applied SEC-HiRIEF-MS to a small cohort (12) of metastatic lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and malignant melanoma (MM) patients. We also analyzed plasma samples from the same patients to study the relationship between plasma and pEV proteomes. We identified and quantified 1583 proteins in cancer pEVs and 1468 proteins in plasma across all samples. While there was substantial overlap, the pEV proteome included several unique EV markers and cancer-related proteins. Differential analysis revealed 30 DEPs in LUAD vs the MM group, highlighting the potential of pEVs as biomarkers. This work demonstrates the utility of a prefractionation-based MS for comprehensive pEV proteomics and EV biomarker discovery.

A recent report by Boothby-Shoemaker et al investigating the real-world accuracy of the 23-gene expression profile (23-GEP) test highlights this methodological difficulty, reporting lower accuracy than previously observed. However, their calculation method-with indeterminate test results defined as either false positive or false negative-was different than those used in previous studies. We corrected for these differences and recalculated their reported accuracy metrics in the same manner as the previous studies to enable appropriate comparison with previously published reports. This corrected analysis showed a sensitivity of 92.1% (95% confidence interval [CI], 82.1%-100%) and specificity of 94.4% (91.6%-96.9%). We then compared these results directly to previous studies with >25 benign and >25 malignant cases with outcomes and/or concordant histopathological diagnosis by ≥3 dermatopathologists. All studies assessed had enrollment imbalances of benign versus malignant patients (0.8-7.0 ratio), so balanced cohorts were resampled according to the lowest common denominator to calculate point estimates and CIs for accuracy metrics. Overall, we found no statistically significant differences in the ranges of 23-GEP sensitivity, 90.4%-96.3% (95% CI, 80.8%-100%), specificity, 87.3%-96.2% (78.2%-100%), positive predictive value, 88.5%-96.1% (81.5%-100%), or negative predictive value, 91.1%-96.3% (83.6%-100%) between previous studies and the cohort from Boothby-Shoemaker et al with this unified methodological approach.

Dermatopathologists must appreciate how the differential diagnosis includes entities that have distinct therapeutic and prognostic implications. Fortunately, these rare entities can be distinguished histopathologically with the help of clinicopathologic correlation and immunohistochemistry. In this article, we discuss congenital disseminated pyogenic granuloma, multifocal infantile hemangioma, and multifocal lymphangioendotheliomatosis with thrombocytopenia. Subtle morphologic and immunophenotypic features permit their distinction, which in turn is important for identifying extracutaneous manifestations and effective treatments. We present a case of a 3-week-old infant with congenital disseminated pyogenic granuloma involving the skin and the liver whose lesions regressed without therapeutic intervention over 6 months of close follow-up.

However, skin metastasis is very uncommon and has rarely been reported even in advanced stages of the disease. We present a case of a 41-year-old man with a known history of adrenocortical carcinoma of the right adrenal gland that presented with an arm mass. The histopathologic sections showed a multinodular necrotic malignant neoplasm in dermis and subcutaneous fat composed of atypical epithelioid cells with ample granular cytoplasm and pleomorphic vesicular nuclei with frequent intranuclear inclusions and atypical mitoses. The immunohistochemical stains showed tumor cells that were strongly positive for synaptophysin and inhibin, only focally positive for Melan-A, and negative for AE1/AE3. The histopathologic features and the immunohistochemical profile confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic carcinoma consistent with adrenal cortical origin.

The central molecular hallmark is the activation of the Wnt-pathway predominantly driven by mutations in the beta-catenin ( CTNNB1 ) gene. Although typically lacking a junctional component, a lesser-known superficial variant with a junctional component has been identified, which could potentially lead to diagnostic challenges. This study presents a cohort of 11 such cases displaying a junctional component of DPN from 10 patients (5 women and 5 men; age range: 27-78 years; median age: 51 years). The nevi were distributed as follows: 1 conjunctival, 1 scalp, 2 lower limb, and 6 truncal lesions. Eight cases were combined with a conventional nevus, 2 cases displayed pure DPN cytology exhibiting only a junctional element, and 9 cases exhibited some degree of lentiginous architecture. All cases demonstrated a low mitotic index (<1 mitosis/mm 2 ). Immunohistochemistry revealed positive BRAF V600E staining in 8 cases (8/11), whereas all cases tested (11/11) were PRAME negative. Nuclear beta-catenin and LEF1 staining was consistently strong and diffuse with DPN cytology (11/11), along with robust cyclin D1 staining in all cases tested (11/11). By contrast, all 9 conventional nevi showed an absence of nuclear beta-catenin staining (0/9) and weaker, mosaic-type LEF1 and cyclin D1 staining was observed. This study emphasizes the diagnostic challenge these nevi can pose in the absence of a conventional, deeper DPN component, which can potentially be misdiagnosed as melanoma."

They are subclassified into 2 types: blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm and mature plasmacytoid dendritic cell proliferation. Neoplastic expansion of pDCs has also been found to be associated with myeloid neoplasia. We present the diagnostically challenging case of a 62-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with numerous hemorrhagic nodules and papules on the face and extensor surfaces near the elbows and neutropenic fevers. The patient had a history notable for lupus erythematosus and a recently performed excisional lymph node biopsy involved by a ""plasmacytoid dendritic cell proliferation."" A punch biopsy was performed, which showed a robust dermal infiltrate of atypical intermediate-sized mononuclear cells. The infiltrate was positive for CD4, CD43, and CD123. CD3 and CD8 highlighted background T cells. The infiltrate was negative for CD10, CD34, CD56, CD68, CD117, myeloperoxidase, lysozyme, TdT, and TCL-1. The findings favored a diagnosis of cutaneous involvement of the plasmacytoid dendritic cell proliferation. Given the association with acute leukemias, a subsequent bone marrow biopsy was recommended. The bone marrow biopsy was performed, which showed increased blasts (68% on a 500 differential cell count). Furthermore, immunohistochemical stains were performed, which highlighted the blasts to be positive for CD34 and BEST (alpha-naphthyl butyrate esterase) cytochemical stain. This diagnosis was consistent with bone marrow involvement of acute myelomonocytic leukemia. Given the overlapping presenting symptoms (skin lesions, adenopathy, marrow involvement) of pDC neoplasms and myeloid neoplasia and the possibility of presenting concurrently, increased awareness is of pivotal importance to help prevent potential misdiagnosis, missed diagnosis, and prompt investigation of possible associated neoplasms."

It is a simple and inexpensive procedure that can be performed in the examination room. It is a technique that uses small split-thickness skin grafts (STSG) to promote the growth of epithelial tissue. It has been described as being used mainly to treat ulcers of venous, arterial, hypertensive and diabetic aetiology. Punch grafting has also been used successfully in postoperative dermatological surgical wounds. This article describes and details the performance of the punch-graft technique, with special emphasis on aftercare and the role of nurses in the procedure.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) that target PD-1/PD-L1 pathways have shown promise in treating advanced melanoma, but their efficacy for melanoma brain metastases is debated. This systematic review and meta-analysis summarize evidence on anti-PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors for melanoma brain metastases. This systematic review and meta-analysis followed PRISMA guidelines. PICO criteria targeted melanoma brain metastasis patients treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, assessing overall survival, progression-free survival, and complications. Inclusion criteria were English studies on humans using PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors for melanoma brain metastases with > 10 patients. A total of 22 trials involving 1523 melanoma brain metastase patients treated with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors were thoroughly analyzed. Our findings show the 6-month OS rate of 0.75 [95%CI:0.67-0.84], the 6-months PFS rate of 0.42 [95%CI:0.31-0.52], the 1-year OS rate of 0.63 [95%CI:0.52-0.74], the 1-year PFS rate was 0.45 [95%CI:0.32-0.58], the 18-months OS rate of 0.52 [95%CI:0.37-0.67], the 2-year OS rate of 50% [95% CI: (34%-65%)], the 2 year PFS rate of 0.36 (95%CI:0.23-0.50), the 3-year OS rate of 0.42 (95%CI:0.17-0.67), the 4-year PFS rate of 0.35 [95%CI:0.08-0.61], the 4-year OS rate of 0.29 [95%CI:0.01-0.56], the 5-year OS rate of 0.29 (95%CI:0.09-0.50), and the 5-year PFS rate of 0.11 (95%CI:0.03-0.19). The combined disease stability rate was 0.13 [95%CI:0.05-0.20], the progressive disease rate was 0.49 [95%CI:0.37-0.62], the partial response rate was 0.14 [95%CI:0.07-0.20], the object response rate was 0.35 [95%CI:0.24-0.46], and the complete response rate was 0.22 [95%CI:0.12-0.32]. In conclusion, our meta-analysis provides compelling evidence supporting the efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in patients with melanoma brain tumors, as evidenced by favorable survival outcomes and disease control rates."

NO plays a crucial regulatory role in skin homeostasis, concentration-dependently affecting processes like the proliferation, apoptosis, autophagy and redox balance. In this context, we investigated HE-10, a ruthenium-based photoinducible NO donor, for its pro-oxidant and cytotoxic effects under light and dark conditions in VH10 human foreskin fibroblast cells. We also tested its intracellular and extracellular NO-releasing function. Our study reveals a significant dose-dependent cytotoxic effect of HE-10, an increase in intracellular reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, and the occurrence of apoptosis in skin fibroblast cells. Furthermore, exposure to both increasing doses of HE-10 and white LED light led to substantial cellular events, including a significant induction of autophagy and G2/M phase cell cycle arrest. Paradoxically, these effects were not solely attributable to NO release based on DAF2-DA NO probe results, suggesting that intracellular photochemical reactions additional to NO photolysis contribute to HE-10's biological activity. This study shows that HE-10 exhibits both cytotoxic and potential therapeutic effects, depending on concentration and light exposure. These findings are crucial for developing targeted Ru-NO complex treatments for skin diseases and potentially certain types of skin cancer, where controlled NO release could be beneficial."

Severe burns and cancer resection may lead to the loss of multiple anatomical units, including the entire nose and nearby structures. Multiple materials are required for reconstruction in those with complex total nasal defects involving adjacent areas. In this series of patients, a chimeric ALT flap was harvested and thinned to recreate the three-dimensional nasal structure and cover the adjacent area. Cartilage and alloplastic materials were used as the nasal framework, and the skin flap was folded for the mucosal lining. The results were good with an excellent contour, and no complications or airway obstruction were observed during follow-up.

Using bulk skin tissue samples from 414 healthy female UK twins, we performed twin-based heritability and methylation quantitative trait loci (meQTL) analyses for >400,000 DNA methylation sites. We find that the human skin DNA methylome is on average less heritable than previously estimated in blood and other tissues (mean heritability: 10.02%). meQTL analysis identified local genetic effects influencing DNA methylation at 18.8% (76,442) of tested CpG sites, as well as 1,775 CpG sites associated with at least one distal genetic variant. As a functional follow-up, we performed skin expression QTL (eQTL) analyses in a partially overlapping sample of 604 female twins. Colocalization analysis identified over 3,500 shared genetic effects affecting thousands of CpG sites (10,067) and genes (4,475). Mediation analysis of putative colocalized gene-CpG pairs identified 114 genes with evidence for eQTL effects being mediated by DNA methylation in skin, including in genes implicating skin disease such as ALOX12 and CSPG4. We further explored the relevance of skin meQTLs to skin disease and found that skin meQTLs and CpGs under genetic influence were enriched for multiple skin-related genome-wide and epigenome-wide association signals, including for melanoma and psoriasis.

Genetic predisposition for melanoma is further influenced by the complex interplay between high-, medium-, and low-penetrance genes, each contributing to varying degrees of susceptibility. Within this network, high-penetrance genes, including CDKN2A, CDK4, BAP1, and POT1, are linked to a pronounced risk for disease, whereas medium- and low-penetrance genes, such as MC1R, MITF, and others, contribute only moderately to melanoma risk. Notably, these genetic factors not only heighten the risk of melanoma but may also increase susceptibility towards internal malignancies, such as pancreatic cancer, renal cell cancer, or neural tumors. Genetic testing and counseling hold paramount importance in the clinical context of suspected hereditary melanoma, facilitating risk assessment, personalized surveillance strategies, and informed decision-making. As our understanding of the genomic landscape deepens, this review paper aims to comprehensively summarize the genetic underpinnings of hereditary melanoma, as well as current screening and management strategies for the disease."

Nevertheless, the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in melanoma metastasis are not yet entirely understood. Here, we identified ubiquitin-specific protease 22 (USP22) as a pro-oncogenic protein in melanoma through screening the survival profiles of 52 ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs). USP22 demonstrates a strong association with poor clinical outcomes and is significantly overexpressed in melanoma. Ablation of USP22 expression remarkably attenuates melanoma migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in vitro and suppresses melanoma metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, USP22 controls melanoma metastasis through the SIRT1/PTEN/PI3K pathway. In addition, we conducted an United States Food and Drug Administration-approved drug library screening and identified topotecan as a clinically applicable USP22-targeting molecule by promoting proteasomal degradation of USP22. Finally, we found that both pharmacological and genetic silence of USP22 sensitize RSL3-induced ferroptosis through suppressing the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway and its downstream SCD, and ferroptosis inhibitor could partly rescued the decreased lung metastasis by topotecan in vivo. Overall, our findings reveal a prometastatic role of USP22 and identify topotecan as a potent USP22-targeting drug to limit melanoma metastasis."

The average age at diagnosis was 45.5 years (Range 5-78) and the chordoma site distribution was 49.2% clivus, 26.2% spinal, and 24.0% sacral. Most patients (97.5%) received surgery as the primary treatment, among whom 85.3% also received additional treatment. Except for the most prevalent cancers like prostate, lung, breast, and skin cancer, there was no discernible enrichment for any specific cancer type among patients or their family members. Among a subset of patients (N = 70) with tumor materials, we conducted omics analyses and obtained targeted panel sequencing and SNP array genotyping data for 51 and 49 patients, respectively. The most recurrent somatic driver mutations included PIK3CA (12%), followed by chromatin remodeling genes PBRM1 and SETD2. Amplification of the 6q27 region, containing the chordoma susceptibility gene TBXT, was detected in eight patients (16.3%). Clival patients appeared to be less likely to carry driver gene mutations, chromosome arm level deletion events (e.g., 5p, 5p, and 9p), or 6q27 amplification compared to sacral patients.

The representation of HSV-2-reactive CD4+ TRB sequences from PBMCs in the skin TRB repertoire increased after the first vaccine dose. We found sustained expansion after vaccination of unique, skin-based T cell clonotypes that were not detected in HSV-2-reactive CD4+ T cells isolated from PBMCs.

What is New for The Management for Sun-Damaged Skin.,"Actinic keratosis (AK) is considered a chronic skin disease mostly caused by long-term exposure to UV radiation and other risk factors such as immunosuppression, leading to an individual susceptibility for skin cancer manifestation. The treatment of AK is laborious and costly, and the incidence of skin cancer is forecasted to double until the year 2030 in an aging society.Risk factors in AK for malignant transformation in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) are not fully understood, but studies suggest that histological features, such as atypia in the basal epidermal third and basal proliferation (PRO score) in AK play a pivotal role for development of malignancy. As the clinical appearance of AK does not correlate with the risk for malignancy, guidelines suggest treating every single AK lesion upon diagnosis. Skin imaging techniques, such as line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) can help to provide an individual holistic follow-up for AK lesions by non-invasive visualization of atypia and basal proliferation. A follow-up for patients with AK may be critical for treatment success in terms of strengthening therapy adherence. When AK presents therapy refractory, cSCC manifests in nearly 30% of the cases after several years. Patients with AK suffering from field cancerization and immunosuppression are susceptible for a severe course of disease including metastasis and high mortality rates. Those vulnerable subgroups benefit from close skin cancer screening, early adequate treatment and chemoprevention, such as niacinamide or acitretin. Skin cancer prevention is substantial. Primary prevention should include chemical and physical UV-light protection and avoidance of indoor tanning. Secondary prevention is essential in high-risk populations, such as fair skin type elderly men and STORs. Tertiary prevention should comprise adequate treatment strategies to prevent therapy resistance, reoccurrence and cSCC, especially when field cancerization and immunosuppression are present."

The β-carotene, catechins, flavonoids, polyphenols, lycopene, lutein, selenium, vitamins A, C, D, E, and zeaxanthin are all common types of antioxidants and found in plant-based foods, especially fruits and vegetables. Each antioxidant has its own role and can interact with others to process and remove free radicals efficiently. Several studies have been conducted to investigate whether the use of dietary antioxidant supplements is associated with decreased risks of developing cancer in humans, mixed results were reported. For instance, daily use of supplement such as vitamin c, vitamin E, β-Carotene, and minerals such as selenium and zinc have shown its effectiveness by reducing the risk of developing prostate cancer among men and skin cancer among women."

+2538,skin cancer,39133259,Applications of Extracellular Matrix Biomaterial in Tongue Reconstruction.,"Tongue neoplasms are common in the head and neck region and are primarily treated through surgical interventions. Various reconstruction techniques, such as primary closure, skin grafts, skin substitute biomaterials, and free tissue transfer, are used to address the resulting defects. This study provides an overview of our experience utilizing extracellular matrix-based biomaterials (ECM) for the reconstruction of tongue defects and evaluates the mean volumetric size of postsurgical tongue. This retrospective case series evaluated subjects with tongue defects secondary to benign or malignant resections who underwent reconstruction with ECM-based biomaterials at Ascension Hospital from July 2022 to May 2023. Descriptive variables were collected, and descriptive statistical analyses were conducted. The primary outcome was the volume of postsurgical defect reconstructed. Twenty-five subjects were included: 10 had benign pathology and 15 had malignancy. The mean reconstructed defect volume was 12.65 cm 3 , ranging between 2 and 35 cm 3 . Postoperative bleeding, mainly linked to anticoagulation medication, occurred in 20% (n=5) of the cases, and the rate of need for additional procedures was 8%. In conclusion, ECM-based biomaterials are suitable for reconstructing varying sizes of postsurgical tongue defects with no donor-site morbidity. Carefully considering patient factors, including anticoagulation medication use and defect volume, is essential in optimizing outcomes."

Some of these histopathological patterns, infrequent or unusual, can occasionally produce diagnostic doubts or problems. A 22-year-old female patient presented a poorly pigmented cutaneous polypoid lesion of the scalp. Histopathological examination showed an intradermal melanocytic nevus composed of aggregates, nests, and cords of benign melanocytes, with collagenous stroma and large lipomatous areas. In the lipidized portion of the lesion, nevus cells, arranged in clusters, nests, and cords, were intimately associated with mature-appearing adipocytes, CD34-positive spindle cells, Alcian Blue-positive fibromyxoid stroma, and eosinophilic collagen bundles, findings resembling those typically seen in spindle cell lipoma. Spindle cell lipomatous metaplasia, rarely observed in some benign nonmelanocytic skin lesions, can be considered an additional unusual, not previously described, stromal variation occurring in melanocytic nevi."

Clinical assessments, histopathological analyses, immunohistochemical analyses and biochemical assays were conducted to evaluate skin irritation, oxidative stress biomarkers and the potential carcinogenic effect of SA. Results indicated that prolonged exposure to SA leads to various alterations in skin structure, notably inflammation, preneoplastic and neoplastic proliferation in hair follicles, as well as hyperkeratosis and acanthosis, resulting in an increased epidermal thickness of 98.50 ± 21.6 μm. Immunohistochemistry analysis further corroborates these observations, showcasing elevated nuclear expression of p53 and Ki-67, with a significant mitotic index of (57.5% ± 2.5%). Moreover, biochemical analyses demonstrate that SA induces lipid peroxidation in the skin, evidenced by a high level of Malondialdehyde and a consequential reduction in catalase activity. These findings suggest that prolonged exposure to SA can induce skin neoplasms, highlighting the need for stringent safety measures in environments where SA is frequently used. This study underscores the potential occupational health risks associated with SA exposure."

+2543,skin cancer,39132169,The combination of single-cell and RNA sequencing analysis decodes the melanoma tumor microenvironment and identifies novel T cell-associated signature genes.,"Skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), a malignant melanocyte-derived skin cancer, potentially leads to fatal outcomes without effective treatment. The variability in immunotherapy responses among melanoma patients is significantly influenced by the intricate immune microenvironment, particularly due to the status of tumor T cells, encompassing their activity, exhaustion levels, and antigen recognition capabilities. This study utilized single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze 34 melanoma samples from two public datasets (GSE215120 and GSE115978). Herein, we extracted 706 marker genes associated with immune checkpoint (ICP) therapy from these T cells, 509 markers of T cells from 11 melanoma tissues, and eventually identified 33 candidate genes. These genes underwent LASSO and COX regression analyses to identify the signature genes. Of the initial 33 candidate genes, we successfully isolated six distinct T cell-associated immunotherapy-related genes (IRTGs). Additionally, the computation of each patient risk score proved beneficial in evaluating the immune cell infiltration level and functions as an independent prognostic factor for melanoma patient survival. The risk score results revealed promising predictive outcomes in determining the response of melanoma patients to immunotherapy. Notably, our study is the first to reveal the potential correlation between signature gene PEB4B and the immune microenvironment in melaoma, which was explored with multiple immunofluorescence (IF) and Immune Infiltration Assessment. In a conclusion, our findings demonstrate the potential utility of a risk score dependent on signature genes as a predictive tool for assessing the prognosis and response to immunotherapeutic interventions in melanoma patients."
+2544,skin cancer,39131102,DDE: Deep Dynamic Epidemiological Modeling for Infectious Illness Development Forecasting in Multi-level Geographic Entities.,"Understanding and addressing the dynamics of infectious diseases, such as coronavirus disease 2019, are essential for effectively managing the current situation and developing intervention strategies. Epidemiologists commonly use mathematical models, known as epidemiological equations (EE), to simulate disease spread. However, accurately estimating the parameters of these models can be challenging due to factors like variations in social distancing policies and intervention strategies. In this study, we propose a novel method called deep dynamic epidemiological modeling (DDE) to address these challenges. The DDE method combines the strengths of EE with the capabilities of deep neural networks to improve the accuracy of fitting real-world data. In DDE, we apply neural ordinary differential equations to solve variant-specific equations, ensuring a more precise fit for disease progression in different geographic regions. In the experiment, we tested the performance of the DDE method and other state-of-the-art methods using real-world data from five diverse geographic entities: the USA, Colombia, South Africa, Wuhan in China, and Piedmont in Italy. Compared to the state-of-the-art method, DDE significantly improved accuracy, with an average fitting Pearson coefficient exceeding 0.97 across the five geographic entities. In summary, the DDE method enhances the accuracy of parameter fitting in epidemiological models and provides a foundation for constructing simpler models adaptable to different geographic areas."
+2545,skin cancer,39130915,Skin and Muscle Closure Techniques Following Large-Scale Osteosarcoma Removal: A Comparative Analysis.,"Osteosarcoma (OS), the most prevalent form of bone cancer, typically arises in osteoblast cells responsible for generating new bone. The bone produced by these cancer cells is weaker compared to healthy bone. OS is an aggressive bone cancer that often requires extensive resection, leaving behind substantial soft tissue defects. Successful closure after tumor excision is critical for wound healing and postoperative recovery. However, the optimal approach varies depending on factors like defect size and location. After extensive resection of OS, restoring the integrity of the affected area demands careful closure of both the skin and underlying muscle. The appropriate closure technique depends on the size and location of the soft tissue defect. The main objective of this systematic review is to evaluate and compare different surgical techniques for closing skin and muscle layers following large-scale OS removal. Through a systematic review methodology, we conducted an extensive analysis of the existing body of literature on this topic, drawing from relevant research papers published over the past two decades. This allowed us to collectively evaluate and synthesize available data on the subject. This review found that negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) and flap reconstruction are the main surgical approaches used to close skin and muscle following extensive OS resection, which commonly results in large soft tissue defects due to the nature of tumor removal. Furthermore, NPWT was the most widely used method for closing soft tissue defects after major OS removal, while flap reconstruction was also common when NPWT was not appropriate or the defect was too large. An integrated approach combining vacuum therapy, skin stretching, and occasional flaps seeks to primarily close large defects after OS resection through optimized healing and tension reduction to achieve the best postoperative results."

While orthopedic and traumatology doctors rely on foot X-rays for diagnosis, there is a need for more AI-based detection and classification of these conditions. Therefore, this study addresses this need by proposing MedcapsNet, a novel hybrid capsule model combining modified DenseNet201 with a capsule network, designed to accurately detect and classify heel bone diseases utilizing lateral heel x-ray foot images. We conducted a comprehensive series of experiments on the proposed hybrid architecture with several datasets, including the Heel dataset, Breast BreaKHis v1, HAM10000 skin cancer dataset, and Jun Cheng Brain MRI dataset. The first experiment evaluates the proposed model for heel diseases, while the other experiments evaluate the model on a range of medical datasets to demonstrate its performance over existing studies. On the heel dataset, MedCapsNet achieves an accuracy of 96.38%, AUC of 98.35% without data augmentation, cross-validation accuracy of 95.69%, and AUC of 98.87%. The proposed model, despite employing a fixed architecture and hyperparameters, outperformed other models across four distinct datasets, including MRI, X-ray, and microscopic images with various diseases. This is notable because different types of medical image datasets typically require different architectures and hyperparameters to achieve optimal performance."

Among the various prognostic factors, positive surgical margin is the most important one that can be controlled by the operating surgeon. The deep surgical margins for buccal mucosa cancers is normally assessed by palpating the skin for induration and skin pinchability. The present study evaluates the role of imaging in assessing the deep surgical margin and its efficacy for skin preservation in buccal mucosa/ gingivobuccal carcinomas. The patients of gingivobuccal complex squamous cell carcinomas after histopathological confirmation were selected for the study. In imaging, the distance between the base of the tumour and skin (epidermis) of the cheek was measured by a senior radiologist preoperatively. The frozen section findings were confirmed by histopathological examination and the depth of invasion of the tumour was measured and the clearance of the deep surgical margin was confirmed. The correlation between imaging, skin pinch test and histopathological examination of the specimen was assessed. The sensitivity and specificity of imaging to predict the skin preservation (deep surgical margin more than 5 mm) is 100% and 75% respectively compared to sensitivity and specificity of skin pinch test of 82.6% and 50% respectively. Imaging is an effective tool in predicting the skin preservation and skin excision compared to skin pinch test. Compared to the skin pinch test, imaging appears to be a useful tool for advising surgeons on skin preservation vs excision."
+2549,skin cancer,39129534,Clinical applications of volatilomic assays.,"The study of metabolomics is revealing immense potential for diagnosis, therapy monitoring, and understanding of pathogenesis processes. Volatilomics is a subcategory of metabolomics interested in the detection of molecules that are small enough to be released in the gas phase. Volatile compounds produced by cellular processes are released into the blood and lymph, and can reach the external environment through different pathways, such as the blood-air interface in the lung that are detected in breath, or the blood-water interface in the kidney that leads to volatile compounds detected in urine. Besides breath and urine, additional sources of volatile compounds such as saliva, blood, feces, and skin are available. Volatilomics traces its roots back over fifty years to the pioneering investigations in the 1970s. Despite extensive research, the field remains in its infancy, hindered by a lack of standardization despite ample experimental evidence. The proliferation of analytical instrumentations, sample preparations and methods of volatilome sampling still make it difficult to compare results from different studies and to establish a common standard approach to volatilomics. This review aims to provide an overview of volatilomics' diagnostic potential, focusing on two key technical aspects: sampling and analysis. Sampling poses a challenge due to the susceptibility of human samples to contamination and confounding factors from various sources like the environment and lifestyle. The discussion then delves into targeted and untargeted approaches in volatilomics. Some case studies are presented to exemplify the results obtained so far. Finally, the review concludes with a discussion on the necessary steps to fully integrate volatilomics into clinical practice."

Cancer cell lines derived from cancers of the blood, kidney, nervous system, and skin were found to be significantly more sensitive to bortezomib than other organ systems. The in vitro studies confirmed that although bortezomib effectively inhibited the β5 catalytic site in all four cell lines, cell cycle arrest was only induced in G2/M phase and apoptosis in A-375 and A-172 after 24h. The genomic and transcriptomic analyses identified 33 genes (e.g. ALDH18A1, ATAD2) associated with bortezomib resistance.

However, distinguishing VC from its benign counterpart, verrucous hyperplasia (VH), is challenging due to their clinical and morphological similarities. Despite the importance of accurate diagnosis for determining treatment strategies, diagnosis of VH and VC relied only on lesion recurrence after resection. To address this challenge, we generated RNA profiling data from tissue samples of VH and VC patients to identify novel diagnostic markers. We analyzed differentially expressed (DE) mRNA and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in tissue samples from VH and VC patients. Additionally, ChIP-X Enrichment Analysis 3 (ChEA3) was conducted to identify the top five transcription factors potentially regulating the expression of DE mRNAs in VH and VC. Our analysis of mRNA and lncRNA expression profiles in VH and VC provides insights into the underlying molecular characteristics of these diseases and offers potential new diagnostic markers. The identification of specific DE genes and lncRNAs may enable clinicians to more accurately differentiate between VH and VC, leading to better treatment choices."

The prepared hybrid vesicle was used to condense BIRC5 CRISPR/Cas9 plasmid for survivin (BIRC5) gene editing. The Sgc8-c aptamer (against protein tyrosine kinase 7) was then attached to the surface of the prepared NPs through electrostatic interactions. In this regard, melanoma cancer cells (B16F0 cell line) overexpressing PTK7 receptor could be targeted. Investigations were conducted on this system to evaluate its transfection efficiency, cellular toxicity, and therapeutic performance in preclinical stage using B16F0 tumor bearing C57BL/6 J mice. The results verified the superiority of the Hybrid/ BIRC5 compared to Liposome/ BIRC5 in terms of cellular toxicity and transfection efficiency. The cells exposure to Hybrid/BIRC5 significantly enhanced cytotoxicity. Moreover, Apt-Hybrid/BIRC5 showed higher anti-proliferation activity toward PTK7-positive B16F0 cancer cells than that of the PKT7-negative CHO cell line. The active tumor targeting nanoparticles increased the cytotoxicity through down-regulation of BIRC5 expression as confirmed by Western blot analysis. In preclinical stage, Apt-Hybrid/BIRC5 showed remarkable tumor growth suppression toward B16F0 tumorized mice. Thus, our study suggested that genome editing for BIRC5 through the CRISPR/Cas9 system could provide a potentially safe approach for melanoma cancer therapy and has great potential for clinical translation."

Added to this, is the lack of controls and objective quantification of the usefulness of dermoscopic signs in clinically observable and relevant ranges. To validate the usefulness of dermoscopy for the diagnosis of demodicosis by calculating the performance indicators for the different dermoscopic signs. Retrospective intrapatient case-control study, which included adults with suspicion of demodicosis. Dermoscopic photographs and scraping of healthy and lesional skin were obtained. Samples were analyzed microscopically by trained personnel. Photographs were evaluated by determining the presence of Demodex tails (DT), dilated follicular openings (DFO) and dilated blood vessels (DBV) in pre-defined ranges. 64 patients were included (total = 256 samples); the presence of demodex on skin scraping was seen in 69%. Under dermoscopy, the presence of DT in range 11-20/field had a positive likelihood ratio (LR) of 12.10 (95%CI 6.52-22.45) and negative LR 0.32 (95%CI 0.23-0.45).

Growing evidence demonstrates the crucial role of innate immunity in tumor initiation and progression. Several studies support the idea that innate immunity, through the release of pro- and/or anti-inflammatory cytokines and tumor growth factors, plays a significant role in the pathogenesis, progression, and prognosis of cutaneous malignant melanoma (MM). Cutaneous melanoma is the most common skin cancer, with an incidence that rapidly increased in recent decades. Melanoma is a highly immunogenic tumor, due to its high mutational burden. The metastatic form retains a high mortality. The advent of immunotherapy revolutionized the therapeutic approach to this tumor and significantly ameliorated the patients' clinical outcome.

Recently, an increasing body of literature has investigated the role of miRNAs in keratinocyte carcinoma pathogenesis, progression and their use as therapeutic agents and targets, or biomarkers. However, there is very little consistency in the literature regarding the identity of and/or role of individual miRNAs in cSCC (and to a lesser extent BCC) biology. miRNA analyses that combine clinical evidence with experimental elucidation of targets and functional impact provide far more compelling evidence than studies purely based on clinical findings or bioinformatic analyses. In this study, we review the clinical evidence associated with miRNA dysregulation in KCs, assessing the quality of validation evidence provided, identify gaps, and provide recommendations for future studies based on relevant studies that investigated miRNA levels in human cSCC and BCC. Furthermore, we demonstrate how miRNAs contribute to the regulation of a diverse network of cellular functions, and that large-scale changes in tumor cell biology can be attributed to miRNA dysregulation. We highlight the need for further studies investigating the role of miRNAs as communicators between different cell types in the tumor microenvironment. Finally, we explore the clinical benefits of miRNAs as biomarkers of keratinocyte carcinoma prognosis and treatment."
+2566,skin cancer,39126061,The Invisible Fraction within Melanin Capable of Absorbing UV Light and with Fluorescent Properties: Is It Lacking Consideration?,"Expanding on earlier observations, we show that many melanin materials, in vitro synthesized from a wide range of precursors, can be fractionated into a dark-colored precipitate and a near-colorless, dispersible fraction. The dispersible fractions exhibited absorbance in the UVA and UVB range of the electromagnetic spectrum, but none in the visible range. In addition, fluorescent properties were associated with all dispersible fractions obtained. FT-IR spectroscopic analyses were performed to compare both types of fractions. Overall, it appears that some of the properties associated with melanin (UV absorbance, fluorescence) may not necessarily reside in the dark-colored portion of melanin, but in a colorless fraction of the material. It remains to be seen whether any of these in vitro observations have any relevance in vivo. However, we raise the possibility that the presence of a colorless fraction within melanin materials and their associated properties may have received inadequate attention. Given the important association between melanin, UV protection, and skin cancer, it is worthwhile to consider this additional aspect of melanin chemistry."
+2567,skin cancer,39126026,New Aspects Regarding the Fluorescence Spectra of Melanin and Neuromelanin in Pigmented Human Tissue Concerning Hypoxia.,"Melanin is a crucial pigment in melanomagenesis. Its fluorescence in human tissue is exceedingly weak but can be detected through advanced laser spectroscopy techniques. The spectral profile of melanin fluorescence distinctively varies among melanocytes, nevomelanocytes, and melanoma cells, with melanoma cells exhibiting a notably ""red"" fluorescence spectrum. This characteristic enables the diagnosis of melanoma both in vivo and in histological samples. Neuromelanin, a brain pigment akin to melanin, shares similar fluorescence properties. Its fluorescence can also be quantified with high spectral resolution using the same laser spectroscopic methods. Documented fluorescence spectra of neuromelanin in histological samples from the substantia nigra substantiate these findings. Our research reveals that the spectral behavior of neuromelanin fluorescence mirrors that of melanin in melanomas. This indicates that the typical red fluorescence is likely influenced by the microenvironment around (neuro)melanin, rather than by direct pigment interactions. Our ongoing studies aim to further explore this distinctive ""red"" fluorescence. We have observed this red fluorescence spectrum in post-mortem measurements of melanin in benign nevus. The characteristic red spectrum is also evident here (unlike the benign nevus in vivo), suggesting that hypoxia may contribute to this phenomenon. Given the central role of hypoxia in both melanoma development and treatment, as well as in fundamental Parkinson's disease mechanisms, this study discusses strategies aimed at reinforcing the hypothesis that red fluorescence from (neuro)melanin serves as an indicator of hypoxia."

A potential correlation between the onset of BCC and a dysembryogenetic process has long been hypothesised. A selective investigation of PubMed-indexed publications supporting this theory retrieved 64 selected articles published between 1901 and 2024. From our analysis of the literature review, five main research domains on the dysembryogenetic pathogenesis of BCC were identified: (1) The correlation between the topographic distribution of BCC and the macroscopic embryology, (2) the correlation between BCC and the microscopic embryology, (3) the genetic BCC, (4) the correlation between BCC and the hair follicle and (5) the correlation between BCC and the molecular embryology with a specific focus on the Hedgehog signalling pathway. A large amount of data from microscopic and molecular research consistently supports the hypothesis of a dysembryogenetic pathogenesis of BCC.

In this study, we investigate the antitumor effect of kuwanon C in cervical cancer cells and elucidate its specific mechanism of action. We assessed the antitumor effects of kuwanon C using various experimental techniques, including cell proliferation assay, wound healing assays, EdU 488 proliferation assay, mitochondrial membrane potential assay, ROS level assay, cell cycle, apoptosis analysis, and studies on kuwanon C target sites and molecular docking. The results revealed that kuwanon C significantly impacted the cell cycle progression of HeLa cells, disrupted their mitochondrial membrane potential, and induced a substantial increase in intracellular ROS levels. Moreover, kuwanon C exhibited notable anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects on HeLa cells, surpassing the performance of commonly used antitumor drugs such as paclitaxel and cisplatin. Notably, kuwanon C demonstrated superior efficacy while also being more easily accessible compared to paclitaxel. Our study demonstrates that kuwanon C exerts potent antitumor effects by its interaction with the mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum membranes, induces a significant production of ROS, disrupts their normal structure, inhibits cell cycle progression, and stimulates apoptotic signaling pathways, ultimately resulting in the death of HeLa tumor cells. As an isopentenyl compound derived from "

However, a common long-term complication of such exposure is radiation-induced skin fibrosis (RISF), a complex condition that poses substantial physical and psychological challenges. Notably, about 50% of patients undergoing radiation therapy may achieve long-term remission, resulting in a significant number of survivors managing the aftereffects of their treatment. This article delves into the intricate relationship between RISF, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and angiotensin II (Ang II) signaling. It proposes the underlying mechanisms and examines potential treatments for mitigating skin fibrosis. The primary goal is to offer essential insights in order to better care for and improve the quality of life of cancer survivors who face the risk of developing RISF."

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the spectrum-aided visual enhancer (SAVE) in detecting skin cancer. This paper presents the development of a novel algorithm for snapshot hyperspectral conversion, capable of converting RGB images into hyperspectral images (HSI). The integration of band selection with HSI has facilitated the identification of a set of narrow band images (NBI) from the RGB images. This study utilizes various iterations of the You Only Look Once (YOLO) machine learning (ML) framework to assess the precision, recall, and mean average precision in the detection of skin cancer. YOLO is commonly preferred in medical diagnostics due to its real-time processing speed and accuracy, which are essential for delivering effective and efficient patient care. The precision, recall, and mean average precision (mAP) of the SAVE images show a notable enhancement in comparison to the RGB images. This work has the potential to greatly enhance the efficiency of skin cancer detection, as well as improve early detection rates and diagnostic accuracy. Consequently, it may lead to a reduction in both morbidity and mortality rates."

Interventions must target the appropriate clinical stage. We reviewed studies regarding the primary therapy in penile cancer, from topical therapy to radical penectomy, and reconstructive techniques. Topical therapy (5-FU or Imiquimod) provides a robust oncologic response in patients with Ta or Tis disease. Multiple laser therapies are available for localized patients and those with low-grade T1 disease. There is a non-trivial risk of progression and nodal metastases in poorly selected patients. Wide local excision provides an oncologically sound option in patient with up to T1 disease; less evidence exists for Mohs microsurgery in the setting of penile cancer. Increasingly aggressive approaches include glansectomy and partial/radical penectomy, which provide 5- and 10-year cancer-specific survival rates of over 80%. Meticulous reconstruction is necessary for the durable function of the remaining penis. Preservation of voiding and sexual function occurs via penile skin grafting, glans resurfacing, creation of a functional penile stump, and phalloplasty with a penile implant. Perineal urethrostomy provides an alternative in pathology demanding extensive partial or radical penectomy, and a durable option for seated voiding.

Systemic adjuvant therapy for stage IIB-IV melanoma is now approved for patients who have undergone surgical resection, given the appreciable risk of recurrence and mortality in this patient population. Despite the lower stage, high-risk stage II melanoma (stage IIB/IIC) can often exhibit an even more aggressive course when compared to stage IIIA/IIIB disease, thus justifying consideration of adjuvant therapy in these patients. In this review, we highlight the current standard of practice for the treatment of stage IIB/C melanoma, with a focus on adjuvant therapies supported by published landmark clinical trials, including anti-PD-1 therapy. Notably, adjuvant therapies approved thus far in this patient population have demonstrated an improvement in recurrence-free survival, while their impact on overall survival is pending.

+2580,skin cancer,39123417,MIRRORS ICG: Perfusion Assessment Using Indocyanine Green (ICG) Peritoneal Angiography during Robotic Interval Cytoreductive Surgery for Advanced Ovarian Cancer.,"Indocyanine green (ICG) is a fluorescent dye used for sentinel lymph node assessment and the assessment of perfusion in skin flaps and bowel anastomoses. ICG binds serum proteins and behaves as a macromolecule in the circulation. Tumour tissue has increased vascular permeability and reduced drainage, causing macromolecules to accumulate within it. MIRRORS ICG is designed to determine whether indocyanine green (ICG) helped identify metastatic deposits in women undergoing robotic interval cytoreductive surgery for advanced-stage (3c+) ovarian cancer. Peritoneal surfaces of the abdominal and pelvic cavity were inspected under white light and near-infrared light (da Vinci Si and Xi Firefly Fluorescence imaging, Intuitive Surgical Inc.) following intravenous injection of 20 mg ICG in sterile water. Visibly abnormal areas were excised and sent to histopathology, noting IGC positivity. In total, 102 biopsies were assessed using ICG. Intravenous ICG assessment following neoadjuvant chemotherapy had a sensitivity of 91.1% (95% CI [82.6-96.4%]), a specificity of 13.0% (95% CI [2.8-33.6%]), a positive predictive value of 78.3% (95% CI [68.4-86.2%]), and a negative predictive value of 30.0% (95% CI [6.7-65.2%]) False-positive samples were seen in 9/20 patients. Psammoma bodies were noted in the histopathology reports of seven of nine of these patients with false-positive results, indicating that a tumour had been present (chemotherapy-treated disease). This study demonstrates the appearance of metastatic peritoneal deposits during robotic cytoreductive surgery following the intravenous administration of ICG in women who have undergone neoadjuvant chemotherapy for stage 3c+ advanced ovarian cancer. A perfusion assessment using indocyanine green (ICG) peritoneal angiography during robotic interval cytoreductive surgery for advanced ovarian cancer did not clinically improve metastatic disease identification in patients with high-volume disease. The use of ICG in patients with excellent response to chemotherapy where few tumour deposits remained shows some promise.

This study investigates how crosslinking of gelatin-based hydrogels influences immune and stromal cell behavior and wound healing in female mice. We observe that softer, lightly crosslinked hydrogels promote greater cellular infiltration and result in smaller scars compared to stiffer, heavily crosslinked hydrogels. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we further show that heavily crosslinked hydrogels increase inflammation and lead to the formation of a distinct macrophage subpopulation exhibiting signs of oxidative activity and cell fusion. Conversely, lightly crosslinked hydrogels are more readily taken up by macrophages and integrated within the tissue. The physical properties differentially affect macrophage and fibroblast interactions, with heavily crosslinked hydrogels promoting pro-fibrotic fibroblast activity that drives macrophage fusion through RANKL signaling. These findings suggest that tuning the physical properties of hydrogels can guide cellular responses and improve healing, offering insights for designing better biomaterials for wound treatment."

Metformin (Met) is a first-line medication in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, with additional effects such as anti-tumor, anti-aging, and neuroprotective properties. In this study, we aimed to investigate the biological effects and potential mechanisms of Met in improving the survival of random skin flaps. Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats and 12 male C57BL/6J mice underwent McFarlane flap surgery and divided into control (Ctrl) and Met groups (100 mg/kg). The survival rate of the flap were evaluated on day 7. Angiography, Laser doppler blood flow imaging, and H&E staining were used to assess blood flow supply and the levels of microvascular density. Then, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were measured by test kits. Immunohistochemistry analysis was conducted to evaluate the expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGFA), Vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) and CD31. Rats and mice in the Met group exhibited higher flap survival rate, microcirculatory flow, and higher expression levels of VEGFA and VE-cadherin compared with the Ctrl group. In addition, the level of oxidative stress was significantly lower in the met group. And then we demonstrated that the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) treated with Met can alleviate tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)-stimulated cellular dysfunction and oxidative stress injury. Mechanistically, Met markedly stimulated the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and promoted Nrf2 nuclear translocation. Silencing of Nrf2 partially abolished the antioxidant and therapeutic effects of Met. In summary, our data have confirmed that Met has a positive effect on flap survival and reduces necrosis. The mechanism of action involves the regulation of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway to combat oxidative stress and reduce damage."

The single-cell sequencing data of melanoma underwent processing with the Seurat package, subsequent to which cell communication network analysis was conducted using the iTALK package and transcription factor analysis was performed using the SCENIC package. Univariate COX and LASSO regression analyses were utilized to pinpoint genes linked to the prognosis of melanoma patients, culminating in the creation of a prognostic model through multivariate COX analysis. The model was validated using the GSE65904 and GSE35640 datasets. Multi-omics analysis was conducted utilizing the maftools, limma, edgeR, ChAMP, and clusterProfiler packages. The examination of single-cell sequencing data revealed the presence of 8 cell types, with the transcription factors RFXAP, CLOCK, MGA, RBBP, and ZNF836 exhibiting notably high expression levels in CD8+ T cells as determined by the SCENIC package. Utilizing these transcription factors and their associated target genes, a prognostic model was developed through COX and LASSO analyses, incorporating the genes GPR171, FAM174A, and BPI. This study validated the model with independent datasets and conducted additional analysis involving multi-omics and immune infiltration to identify a more favorable prognosis for patients in the low-risk group. The findings provide valuable insights into the tumor microenvironment of melanoma and establish a reliable prognostic model.

The oncological safety of the procedure is now clearly established. Based on the origin and epicenter of the tumor there are two classes of compartmental resection. Those tumors arising from the tuberosity of the maxilla and/or upper gingival sulcus region; the resection involves the tumor, posterior maxilla, and the ipsilateral infratemporal fossa. These tumors can be resected by mandibulotomy approach, preserving the mandible. This constitutes class-1 infratemporal fossa resection. The class-2 infratemporal fossa resection is applied for those tumors arising from the retromolar trigone and/or lower gingivo-buccal sulcus region. In this class, the mandible and often the overlying cheek skin needs to be sacrificed, in addition to the contents of the infratemporal fossa and the posterior maxilla. Both the classes of resections are carried out in an orderly fashion following well-defined steps. These sequential steps maximize the exposure of inaccessible structures, enables protection of critical structures as well as minimizes blood loss. This manuscript describes the surgical steps for the two classes of compartmental resection of the infratemporal fossa for advanced gingivo-buccal complex cancers involving the masticatory space."

We report mechanistic insights into the immunogenicity of mRNA-4157 via characterization of T-cell responses to neoantigens from the first-in-human, phase 1, KEYNOTE-603 study (NCT03313778) in patients with resected non-small cell lung cancer (Part A: 1-mg mRNA-4157, n = 4) or resected cutaneous melanoma (Part D: 1-mg mRNA-4157 + 200-mg pembrolizumab, n = 12). Safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity were assessed. All patients experienced ≥1 treatment-emergent adverse event; there were no grade 4/5 adverse events or dose-limiting toxicities. mRNA-4157 alone induced consistent de novo and strengthened preexisting T-cell responses to targeted neoantigens. Following combination therapy, sustained mRNA-4157-induced neoantigen-specific T-cell responses and expansion of cytotoxic CD8 and CD4 T cells were observed. These findings show the potential of a novel mRNA individualized neoantigen therapy approach in oncology. Significance: The safety and immunogenicity results from this phase 1 study of mRNA-4157 as adjuvant monotherapy or combination therapy with pembrolizumab show generation of de novo and enhancement of existing neoantigen-specific T-cell responses and provide mechanistic proof of concept to support further development of mRNA-4157 for patients with resected solid tumors.

We selected the humanized mouse model NSG-SGM3 transgenic strain to examine psoriasis and PsA endotypes. Injection of PBMCs and sera from patients with psoriasis and PsA generated parallel skin and joint phenotypes in the recipient mouse. The transfer of human circulating memory T cells was followed by migration and accumulation in the skin and synovia of these immunodeficient mice. Unexpectedly, immunoglobulins were required for recapitulation of the clinical phenotype of psoriasiform lesions and PsA domains (dactylitis, enthesitis, bone erosion). Human CD8+ T cells expressing T-bet, IL-32 and CXCL14 were detected by spatial transcriptomics in murine synovia and by immunofluorescence in the human PsA synovia. Importantly, depletion of human CD8+ T cells prevented skin and synovial inflammation in mice humanized with PsA peripheral blood cells.

Here, the cellular uptake of ICG in human squamous cell carcinoma (SCC026) and immortalized non-cancer skin (HaCaT) cell lines was evaluated to study the tumor-specific cellular uptake of ICG. The spatial distribution of ICG inside tumor tissue was investigated in tissue sections of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma at a microscopic level. ICG uptake and internalization was observed in living cells after 2.5 h and in the nucleus after 24 h. In dead cells, higher and faster uptake was observed. In the tissue sections, higher ICG signal intensity could be detected in connective tissue and surrounding clusters and blood vessels. In conclusion, no distinct ICG uptake by tumor cells was detected in cancer cell lines and tumor tissue. ICG localization in certain regions of tumor tissue appears to be a result of enhanced tissue permeability and retention, but not specific to tumor cells."

In such a scenario, the development of anti-cancer drugs with minimal side effects and effective drug delivery systems is of paramount importance. Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the powerful anti-cancer drugs from the chemical family anthracycline, which is used to treat a wide variety of cancers, including breast, prostate, ovarian, and hematological malignancies. However, DOX has been associated with many side effects, including lethal cardiotoxicity, baldness, gastrointestinal disturbances and cognitive function impairment. Even though DOX is administered in liposomal formulations to reduce its toxicity and enhance its therapeutic profile, the liposomal formulations themselves have certain therapeutic profile limitations such as ""palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE)"", which shows severe swelling and redness in the skin, thus restricting the dosage and reducing patient compliance. In contemporary chemotherapy research, there is a great interest in the utilization of nanomaterials for precise and targeted drug delivery applications, especially using carbon-based nanomaterials. This review provides a comprehensive overview of both experimental and theoretical scientific works, exploring diverse forms of carbon-based materials such as graphene, graphene oxide, and carbon nanotubes that function as carriers for DOX. In addition, the review consolidates information on the fate of the carriers after the delivery of the payload at the site of action through different imaging techniques and the various pathways through which the body eliminates these nanomaterials.

This study explores the development of dissolving microneedles (MNs) containing FENR-loaded ethosomes for minimally invasive breast cancer chemoprevention, aiming to enhance local drug distribution. Ethosomes were formulated using ethanol, propylene glycol, soya lecithin, water, and polysorbate 80 micelles. MNs were created from poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) hydrogels by adding polymer powder directly into ethosomes suspensions, reducing manufacturing time and cost. Two methods were used to load ethosomes into high-density moulds: 1) only in the needle area, and 2) in both the needle area and baseplate. Dynamic light scattering confirmed nanostructures in the hydrogels and MNs. Micelle-based ethosomes dissolved MNs in 15 min, compared to 30 min for other MNs. Skin deposition studies showed greater drug deposition (up to 10 μg/patch) and enhanced skin permeation of FENR (up to 40 μg) with Method 2. In-vivo studies in rats demonstrated that oral administration resulted in plasma FENR levels below 10 ng/g in the first three hours, whereas MN administration delayed delivery, reaching a maximum plasma concentration of 52 ng/g at 48 h. Skin deposition of FENR from MNs decreased from 3 μg/g on day 1 to <0.3 μg/g by the last day. This study indicates that MNs are a potential minimally invasive dosage form for delivering FENR, offering a new approach for breast cancer chemoprevention."

The progression of many diseases is associated with specific gene signaling pathways. Therefore, the identification of precise gene targets in various diseases is crucial for the development of effective treatments. Laminin subunit beta 3 (LAMB3), a component of laminin 5, functions as an adhesive protein in the extracellular matrix and plays a vital role in regulating cell proliferation, migration, and cell cycle in certain diseases. Previous studies have indicated that LAMB3 is highly expressed in numerous tumorous and non-tumorous conditions, including renal fibrosis; squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, thyroid, lung, pancreatic, ovarian, colorectalr, gastric, breast, cervical, nasopharyngeal, bladder, prostate cancers; and cholangiocarcinoma. Conversely, it is underexpressed in other conditions, such as hepatocellular carcinoma, epidermolysis bullosa, and amelogenesis imperfecta. Consequently, LAMB3 may serve as a molecular diagnostic and therapeutic target for various diseases through its involvement in critical gene signaling pathways.

The virus has limited coding capacity, with its early viral proteins, large T (LT) and small T (sT), being multifunctional and contributing to infection and transformation. A fundamental difference in early viral gene expression between infection and MCPyV-driven tumorigenesis is the expression of a truncated LT (LTtr) in the tumor. In contrast, sT is expressed in both conditions and contributes significantly to oncogenesis. Here, we identified novel functions of early viral proteins by performing genome-wide transcriptome and chromatin studies in primary human fibroblasts. Due to current limitations in infection and tumorigenesis models, we mimic these conditions by ectopically expressing sT, LT or LTtr, individually or in combination, at different time points. In addition to its known function in cell cycle and inflammation modulation, we reveal a fundamentally new function of sT. We show that sT regulates the type I interferon (IFN) response downstream of the type I interferon receptor (IFNAR) by interfering with the interferon-stimulated gene factor 3 (ISGF3)-induced interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) response. Expression of sT leads to a reduction in the expression of interferon regulatory factor 9 (IRF9) which is a central component of the ISGF3 complex. We further show that this function of sT is conserved in BKPyV. We provide a first mechanistic understanding of which early viral proteins trigger and control the type I IFN response, which may influence MCPyV infection, persistence and, during MCC progression, regulation of the tumor microenvironment."

If current rates continue, there will be an estimated 510 000 new cases annually and 96 000 deaths by 2040. Melanoma and keratinocyte cancers (KCs) incur a large societal burden. Using a mathematical population model, we performed an economic evaluation of the SunSmart program in the state of Western Australia (WA), a primary prevention program to reduce the incidence of skin cancer, versus no program. A societal perspective was taken combining costs to the health system, patients and lost productivity. The model combined data from pragmatic trial evidence of sun protection, epidemiological studies and national cost reports. The main outcomes modelled were societal and government costs, skin cancer counts, melanoma deaths, life years and quality-adjusted life years. Over the next 20 years, the model predicted that implementing the WA SunSmart program would prevent 13 728 KCs, 636 melanomas and 46 melanoma deaths per 100 000 population. Furthermore, 251 life years would be saved, 358 quality-adjusted life years gained and AU$2.95 million in cost savings to society per 100 000 population would be achieved. Key drivers of the model were the rate reduction of benign lesions from sunscreen use, the costs of purchasing sunscreen and the effectiveness of reducing KCs in sunscreen users. The likelihood of WA SunSmart being cost-effective was 90.1%. For the WA Government, the estimated return on investment was $8.70 gained for every $1 invested. Primary prevention of skin cancer is a cost-effective strategy for preventing skin cancers."

A cohort of 309,932 nuclear workers employed in France, the United Kingdom, and United States were monitored for external radiation exposure and associations with cancer mortality were quantified as the excess relative rate (ERR) per gray (Gy) using a maximum likelihood and a Markov chain Monte Carlo method (to stabilize estimates via a hierarchical regression). The analysis included 28,089 deaths due to solid cancer, the most common being lung, prostate, and colon cancer. Using maximum likelihood, positive estimates of ERR per Gy were obtained for stomach, colon, rectum, pancreas, peritoneum, larynx, lung, pleura/mesothelioma, bone and connective tissue, skin, prostate, testis, bladder, kidney, thyroid, and residual cancers; negative estimates of ERR per Gy were found cancers of oral cavity and pharynx, esophagus, and ovary. A hierarchical model stabilized site-specific estimates of association, including for lung (ERR per Gy=0.65; 95% credible interval [CrI]: 0.24, 1.07), prostate (ERR per Gy=0.44; 95% CrI: -0.06, 0.91), and colon cancer (ERR per Gy=0.53; 95% CrI: -0.07, 1.11).

Glycosphingolipids are cell membrane components that pathogens utilize for attachment to the host to initiate infection. Here, we characterized rainbow trout glycosphingolipids from five mucosal tissues using mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance and investigated binding of radiolabeled Aeromonas salmonicida to the glycosphingolipids on thin-layer chromatograms. 12 neutral and 14 acidic glycosphingolipids were identified. The glycosphingolipids isolated from the stomach and intestine were mainly neutral, whereas glycosphingolipids isolated from the skin, gills and pyloric caeca were largely acidic. Many of the acidic structures were poly-sialylated with shorter glycan structures in the skin compared to the other tissues. The sialic acids found were Neu5Ac and Neu5Gc. Most of the glycosphingolipids had isoglobo and ganglio core chains, or a combination of these. The epitopes on the rainbow trout glycosphingolipid glycans differed between epithelial sites leading to differences in pathogen binding. A major terminal epitope was fucose, that occurred attached to GalNAc in a α1-3 linkage but also in the form of HexNAc-(Fuc-)HexNAc-R. A. salmonicida were shown to bind to neutral glycosphingolipids from the gill and intestine. This study is the first to do a comprehensive investigation of the rainbow trout glycosphingolipids and analyze binding of A. salmonicida to glycosphingolipids. The structural information paves the way for identification of ways of interfering in pathogen colonization processes to protect against infections in aquaculture and contributes towards understanding A. salmonicida infection mechanisms."

Effective therapies for patients with eGB, particularly with leptomeningeal dissemination, are still lacking. Here, we describe a case of a 25-year-old male diagnosed with an intramedullary cervical tumour with subsequent leptomeningeal disease. Histopathology identified a highly necrotising, epithelioid-type tumour with high cell density, most compatible with the diagnosis of an eGB. DNA analysis revealed an unprecedented B-Raf protooncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) gene variant in exon 15 (ENST00000288602.6, c.1799_1810delinsATG, p.(V600_W604delinsDG)), triggering activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Consequently, we initiated MAPK inhibitor (MAPKi) therapy, utilizing a combination of BRAF and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitors. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis confirmed the drugs' presence in the patient's cerebrospinal fluid, indicating their capacity to cross the blood-brain barrier. Remarkably, the patient responded very well to therapy and transitioned from a near-comatose state to significantly improved health, sustained for over three months.

In this study we generated stable CYGB overexpressing A375 melanoma cells and performed RNA-sequencing to comprehensively explore the CYGB-dependent transcriptome. Our findings reveal that ectopic expression of CYGB dysregulated multiple cancer-associated genes, including the mTORC1 and AKT/mTOR signaling pathways, which are frequently overactivated in tumors. Moreover, several cancer-associated pathways, such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) mediated by CSPG4, were downregulated upon CYGB overexpression. Intriguingly, ectopic expression suggested anti-inflammatory potential of CYGB, as exemplified by downregulation of key inflammasome-associated genes, including NLRP1, CASP1 and CD74, which play pivotal roles in cytokine regulation and inflammasome activation. Consistent with established globin functions, CYGB appears to be involved in redox homeostasis. Furthermore, our study indicates CYGB's association to DNA repair mechanisms and its regulation of NOX4, reinforcing its functional versatility. Additionally, multiple significantly enriched pathways in CYGB overexpressing cells were consistently dysregulated in opposite direction in CYGB depleted cells. Collectively, our RNA-sequencing based investigations illustrate the diverse functions of CYGB in melanoma cells, pointing to its putative roles in cellular protection against oxidative stress, inflammation, and cancer-associated pathways. These findings pave the way for further research into the physiological role of CYGB and its potential as a candidate therapeutic target in melanoma."
+2680,skin cancer,39107301,Heterozygous de novo dominant negative mutation of REXO2 results in interferonopathy.,"Mitochondrial RNA (mtRNA) in the cytosol can trigger the innate immune sensor MDA5, and autoinflammatory disease due to type I IFN. Here, we show that a dominant negative mutation in the gene encoding the mitochondrial exonuclease REXO2 may cause interferonopathy by triggering the MDA5 pathway. A patient characterized by this heterozygous de novo mutation (p.T132A) presented with persistent skin rash featuring hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis and acanthosis, with infiltration of lymphocytes and eosinophils around small blood vessels. In addition, circulating IgE levels and inflammatory cytokines, including IFNα, are found consistently elevated. Transcriptional analysis highlights a type I IFN gene signature in PBMC. Mechanistically, REXO2 (T132A) lacks the ability to cleave RNA and inhibits the activity of wild-type REXO2. This leads to an accumulation of mitochondrial dsRNA in the cytosol, which is recognized by MDA5, leading to the associated type I IFN gene signature. These results demonstrate that in the absence of appropriate regulation by REXO2, aberrant cellular nucleic acids may accumulate and continuously trigger innate sensors, resulting in an inborn error of immunity."

Myeloid cells, including tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs), neutrophils (TANs), and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), contribute to immune suppression in the TME (Nakamura and Smyth in Cell Mol Immunol 17(1):1-12 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41423-019-0306-1 ; DeNardo and Ruffell in Nat Rev Immunol 19(6):369-382 (2019). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41577-019-0127-6 ). This poses a significant challenge for novel immunotherapeutics that rely on host immunity to exert their effect. This systematic review explores the preclinical evidence surrounding the inhibition of phosphoinositide 3-kinase gamma (PI3Kγ) as a strategy to reverse myeloid-driven immune suppression in solid tumours. EMBASE, MEDLINE, and PubMed databases were searched on 6 October 2022 using keyword and subject heading terms to capture relevant studies. The studies, focusing on PI3Kγ inhibition in animal models, were subjected to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Extracted data included tumour growth kinetics, survival endpoints, and immunological responses which were meta-analysed. PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines were followed. A total of 36 studies covering 73 animal models were included in the review and meta-analysis. Tumour models covered breast, colorectal, lung, skin, pancreas, brain, liver, prostate, head and neck, soft tissue, gastric, and oral cancer. The predominant PI3Kγ inhibitors were IPI-549 and TG100-115, demonstrating favourable specificity for the gamma isoform. Combination therapies, often involving chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, biological agents, or vaccines, were explored in 81% of studies. Analysis of tumour growth kinetics revealed a statistically significant though heterogeneous response to PI3Kγ monotherapy, whereas the tumour growth in combination treated groups were more consistently reduced. Survival analysis showed a pronounced increase in median overall survival with combination therapy. This systematic review provides a comprehensive analysis of preclinical studies investigating PI3Kγ inhibition in myeloid-driven tumour immune suppression. The identified studies underscore the potential of PI3Kγ inhibition in reshaping the TME by modulating myeloid cell functions. The combination of PI3Kγ inhibition with other therapeutic modalities demonstrated enhanced antitumour effects, suggesting a synergistic approach to overcome immune suppression. These findings support the potential of PI3Kγ-targeted therapies, particularly in combination regimens, as a promising avenue for future clinical exploration in diverse solid tumour types."

However, the extent and intensity of gp100 expression in advanced cutaneous melanoma has not been well studied. Here, we interrogated a large cohort of primary and metastatic melanomas for gp100 expression by immunohistochemistry. Expression in metastatic samples was globally higher and almost uniformly positive, however the degree of intensity was variable. Using a quantitative immunofluorescence method, we confirmed the variability in expression. As gp100-binding drugs are assessed in clinical trials, the association between activity of the drugs and the level of gp100 expression should be studied in order to potentially improve patient selection."

We aimed to assess the potential of US-PA in detecting biochemical markers such as collagen, lipids, and hemoglobin, and compare these findings with routine imaging modalities (mammography, ultrasound) and histopathology results, particularly across various breast densities. Twelve ex-vivo breast specimens were obtained from female patients with a mean age of 59.7 ± 9.5 years who underwent BCS. The tissues were illuminated using handheld US-PA probe between 700 and 1100 nm across all margins and analyzed for collagen, lipids, and hemoglobin distribution. The obtained results were compared with routine imaging and histopathological assessments. Our findings revealed that lipid intensity and distribution decreased with increasing breast density, while collagen exhibited an opposite trend. These observations were consistent with routine imaging and histopathological analyses. Moreover, collagen intensity significantly differed (P < 0.001) between cancerous and normal breast tissue, indicating its potential as an additional biomarker for risk stratification across various breast conditions. The study results suggest that a combined assessment of PA biochemical information, such as collagen and lipid content, superimposed on grey-scale ultrasound findings could aid in distinguishing between normal and malignant breast conditions, as well as assist in BCS margin assessment.

Here, we show that gasdermin-E (GSDME), a gasdermin family member, drives ICI-induced myocarditis. Pyroptosis mediated by GSDME, but not the canonical GSDMD, is activated in myocardial tissue of mice and cancer patients with ICI-induced myocarditis. Deficiency of GSDME in male mice alleviates ICI-induced cardiac infiltration of T cells, macrophages, and monocytes, as well as mitochondrial damage and inflammation. Restoration of GSDME expression specifically in cardiomyocytes, rather than myeloid cells, in GSDME-deficient mice reproduces ICI-induced myocarditis. Mechanistically, quantitative proteomics reveal that GSDME-dependent pyroptosis promotes cell death and mitochondrial DNA release, which in turn activates cGAS-STING signaling, triggering a robust interferon response and myocardial immune/inflammation activation. Pharmacological blockade of GSDME attenuates ICI-induced myocarditis and improves long-term survival in mice. Our findings may advance the understanding of ICI-induced myocarditis and suggest that targeting the GSDME-cGAS-STING-interferon axis may help prevent and manage ICI-associated myocarditis."

Non-pigmented actinic keratoses are characterized by the ""strawberry pattern"". Pigmented actinic keratosis shows a significant dermatoscopic overlap with lentigo maligna, but the presence of pigmented scales, erythema, and prominent follicles favors its diagnosis. Bowen's disease is characterized by clustered glomerular vessels, white-yellowish scales, and brown or grey dots arranged in lines in its pigmented variant. Finally, dermoscopy allows us to detect invasive squamous cell carcinoma in its early stages and differentiate it from its precursors. Furthermore, its presentation may vary depending on the degree of differentiation, with keratin-associated criteria predominating in well-differentiated tumors, while an atypical vascular pattern will predominate in poorly differentiated tumors."

Determining its precise incidence poses challenges; however, reports indicate a global increase in its prevalence. At the time of diagnosis, the majority of cSCCs are localized, resulting in favorable 5-year cure rates surpassing 90%. Nevertheless, a subset of patients (3-7%) encounters locally advanced or metastatic cSCC, leading to substantial morbidity and mortality. The risk of metastasis ranges from 0.1% to 9.9%, carrying an associated mortality risk of 2.8%. Factors influencing recurrence, metastasis, and disease-specific mortality underscore the significance of perineural invasion (PNI) as a key indicator. Patients with PNI may manifest clinical symptoms and/or radiologic signs of PNI, while the majority remain asymptomatic, and PNI is frequently identified upon histologic examination. Despite its lower frequency compared to other cancer types, PNI serves as a recognized adverse prognostic factor for cSCC. Surgery is the elective treatment for these patients, while the role of adjuvant radiotherapy (ART) is yet contentious and have not been conclusively assessed, particularly in clear surgical margin. Prospective comparative studies are required to comprehensively evaluate the benefit and the risks of ART for cSCC and PNI patients."

Historically, this group of neoplasms has been subsumed under the term non-melanoma skin cancer. However, the term non-melanoma skin cancer can be misleading and lacks precision. Therefore, more precise and reasonable terminology, valuing the relevance of keratinocyte-derived cancer, appears pertinent to meet its clinical and scientific significance.

An increasing number of cSCCs are associated with dysregulation of key molecules that control skin homeostasis. These observations have increased interest in the role of neurotrophins and their receptors in the pathogenesis of cSCC. They have been demonstrated to have a considerable impact on the aggressiveness potential of skin cancer by both in vitro and in vivo models. In this context, mouse models are classically used to dissect proliferation versus differentiation balance, but they have some limitations in terms of time, space, and costs. Recently, zebrafish models have been implemented as a new tool to obtain information regarding the invasive capacity and metastasis of neoplastic cells. By xenotransplantation technique, cSCC cells from a patient's biopsy or cell line can be successfully characterized, with or without the presence of genetic manipulation or treatments. In addition, the evaluation of the immune microenvironment contributes to potentially identifying connections and homologies with humans.

Our study aimed to assess the reliability of a novel pTNM staging system, which incorporates tumour extent (T), lymph node involvement (N), presence of distant metastases (M) and the two-tier histologic grade. We analysed medical records of dogs with one or more cutaneous/subcutaneous completely staged MCT, undergoing tumour excision with lymphadenectomy, unless distant metastases were present, in which cases, medical therapy was administered. Dogs were categorized into three stages: I (T1-2N0M0), II (T1-2N1M0) and III (distant metastases). Stages I and II were further divided based on histologic grade into 'low' and 'high'. Substage b was defined as the presence of tumour diameter of ≥3 cm and/or ulceration. Of 226 dogs, 87 (38.5%) were in Stage I (I-low, n = 75; I-high, n = 12), 107 (47.3%) in Stage II (II-low, n = 59; II-high, n = 48), and 32 (14.2%) in Stage III. The newly proposed staging system was able to significantly stratify the population for both time to progression and tumour-specific survival. Compared to Stage I-low, the risk of progression increased significantly for Stage I-high (18.3 times), Stage II-low (8.5 times), Stage II-high (41.5 times) and Stage III (110.3 times).

Previous reviews discussed IgE glycosylation focusing on specific topics such as health versus disease, FcεR binding or impact on function. We present the first systematic review of human IgE glycosylation conducted utilizing the PRISMA guidelines. We sought to define the current consensus concerning the roles of glycosylation on structure, biology and disease. Despite diverse analytical methodologies, source, expression systems and the sparsity of data on IgE antibodies from non-allergic individuals, collectively evidence suggests differential glycosylation profiles, particularly in allergic diseases compared with healthy states, and indicates functional impact, and contributions to IgE-mediated hypersensitivities and atopic diseases. Beyond allergic diseases, dysregulated terminal glycan structures, including sialic acid, may regulate IgE metabolism. Glycan sites such as N394 may contribute to stabilizing IgE structure, with alterations in these glycans likely influencing both structure and IgE-FcεR interactions. This systematic review therefore highlights critical IgE glycosylation attributes in health and disease that may be exploitable for therapeutic intervention, and the need for novel analytics to explore pertinent research avenues."

While it is clear that cancer cells can have the capacity to alter immune landscapes, our understanding of this process is incomplete. Herein we show that endocytic trafficking at the plasma membrane, mediated by the small GTPase ARF6, enables melanoma cells to impose an immunosuppressive TME that accelerates tumour development. This ARF6-dependent TME is vulnerable to immune checkpoint blockade therapy (ICB) but in murine melanoma, loss of Arf6 causes resistance to ICB. Likewise, downregulation of ARF6 in patient tumours correlates with inferior overall survival after ICB. Mechanistically, these phenotypes are at least partially explained by ARF6-dependent recycling, which controls plasma membrane density of the interferon-gamma receptor. Collectively, our findings reveal the importance of endomembrane trafficking in outfitting tumour cells with the ability to shape their immune microenvironment and respond to immunotherapy."

However, the aging tumor microenvironment can play a crucial role in modulating the response to these immunotherapeutic approaches. This review seeks to examine the intricate relationship between age-related changes in the immune system and their impact on the efficacy of immunotherapies, particularly in the context of melanoma. By exploring this complex interplay, we hope to elucidate potential strategies to optimize treatment outcomes for older patients with melanoma, and draw parallels to other cancers."

+2739,skin cancer,39098278,Tea polyphenols nanoparticles integrated with microneedles multifunctionally boost 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy for skin cancer.,"5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) is an emerging therapeutic strategy for skin cancer due to its noninvasiveness and high spatiotemporal selectivity. However, poor skin penetration, poor intratumoral delivery, the instability of aqueous ALA, and the tumor's inherent hypoxia microenvironment are major hurdles hindering the efficacy of ALA-PDT. Herein, we aim to address these challenges by using microneedles (MNs) to assist in delivering nanoparticles based on natural polymeric tea polyphenols (TP NPs) to self-assemble and load ALA (ALA@TP NPs). The TP NPs specifically increase cellular uptake of ALA by A375 and A431 cells and reduce mitochondrial membrane potential. Subsequently, the photosensitizer protoporphyrin IX derived from ALA accumulates in the tumor cells in a dose-dependent manner with TP NPs, generating reactive oxygen species to promote apoptosis and necrosis of A375 and A431 cells. Interestingly, TP NPs can ameliorate the tumor's inherent hypoxia microenvironment and rapid oxygen consumption during PDT by inhibiting hypoxia inducible factor-1α, thereby boosting reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and enhancing ALA-PDT efficacy through a positive feedback loop. After ALA@TP NPs are loaded into MNs to fabricate ALA@TP NPs@MNs, the MNs enhance skin penetration and storage stability of ALA. Importantly, they exhibit remarkable antitumor efficacy in A375-induced melanoma and A431-induced squamous cell carcinoma with a reduced dose of ALA and reverse hypoxia in vivo. This study provides a facile and novel strategy that integrates MNs and green NPs of TP for addressing the bottlenecks of ALA-PDT and enhancing the ALA-PDT efficacy against skin cancers for future clinical translation."

However, the underlying mechanism of imatinib-induced skin rashes in gastrointestinal stromal tumor patients remains unclear. A total of 51 patients (27 with rash and 24 without rash) were enrolled in our study. Blood samples were collected concomitantly with the onset of clinical manifestations of rashes, and simultaneously collecting clinical relevant information. The imatinib concentration and untargeted metabolomics were performed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. There were no significant differences in age, gender, imatinib concentration and white blood cells count between the rash group and the control group. However, the rash group exhibited a higher eosinophil count (P<0.05) and lower lymphocyte count (P<0.05) compared to the control group. Untargeted metabolomics analysis found that 105 metabolites were significantly differentially abundant. The univariate analysis highlighted erucamide, linoleoylcarnitine, and valine betaine as potential predictive markers (AUC≥0.80). Further enriched pathway analysis revealed primary metabolic pathways, including sphingolipid signaling pathway, sphingolipid metabolism, cysteine and methionine metabolism, biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, arginine and proline metabolism, and biosynthesis of amino acids. These findings suggest that the selected differential metabolites could serve as a foundation for the prediction and management of imatinib-induced skin rash in gastrointestinal stromal tumor patients."

Janus kinase (JAK1), a non-receptor tyrosine kinase family member, is involved in various cellular processes, including differentiation, cell proliferation and survival, playing a crucial role in cancer progression. This study aims to provide a more effective treatment for NMSC by concurrently silencing the JAK1 gene and administering 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) using liposome nanocomplexes as delivery vehicles. Utilizing RNA interference (RNAi) technology, liposome nanocomplexes modified with polyethylene imine (PEI) were conjugated with siRNA molecule targeting JAK1 and loaded with 5-FU. The prepared formulations (NL-PEI) were characterized in terms of their physicochemical properties, morphology, encapsulation efficiency, in vitro drug release, and stability. Cell cytotoxicity, cell uptake and knockdown efficiency were evaluated in human-derived non-melanoma epidermoid carcinoma cells (A-431). High contrast transmission electron microscopy (CTEM) images and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements revealed that the nanocomplexes formed spherical morphology with uniform sizes ranging from 80-120 nm. The cationic NL-PEI nanocomplexes successfully internalized within the cytoplasm of A-431, delivering siRNA for specific sequence binding and JAK1 gene silencing. The encapsulation of 5-FU in the nanocomplexes was achieved at 0.2 drug/lipid ratio. Post-treatment with NL-PEI for 24, 48 and 72 h showed cell viability above 80 % at concentrations up to 8.5 × 10"

While CAG repeat length is a known predictor of disease severity, this heterogeneity suggests the involvement of additional genetic and environmental factors. Previously we revealed that HD primary fibroblasts exhibit unique features, including distinct nuclear morphology and perturbed actin cap, resembling characteristics seen in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS). This study establishes a link between actin cap deficiency and cell motility in HD, which correlates with the HD patient disease severity. Here, we examined single-cell motility imaging features in HD primary fibroblasts to explore in depth the relationship between cell migration patterns and their respective HD patients' clinical severity status (premanifest, mild and severe). The single-cell analysis revealed a decline in overall cell motility in correlation with HD severity, being most prominent in severe HD subgroup and HGPS. Moreover, we identified seven distinct spatial clusters of cell migration in all groups, which their proportion varies within each group becoming a significant HD severity classifier between HD subgroups. Next, we investigated the relationship between Lamin B1 expression, serving as nuclear envelope morphology marker, and cell motility finding that changes in Lamin B1 levels are associated with specific motility patterns within HD subgroups. Based on these data we present an accurate machine learning classifier offering comprehensive exploration of cellular migration patterns and disease severity markers for future accurate drug evaluation opening new opportunities for personalized treatment approaches in this challenging disorder."

It is usually accompanied by a symmetrical erosive polyarthritis and is frequently associated with cancer and autoimmune disorders. Autoimmune syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA) is an inflammatory syndrome triggered by adjuvants such as those contained in vaccines or by silicone implants. Here we report a 71-years old female with a history of breast cancer treated with surgery and subsequent prosthesis who developed a systemic hyperinflammatory syndrome including seronegative symmetric polyarthritis, multiple skin lesions and two large nodular lesions in the oral cavity and larynx. Clinical picture was consistent with a clinical diagnosis of ASIA, with breast implant rupture and/or vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 as possible triggers. Histopathology of skin, oral and laryngeal nodules revealed cutaneous/mucous and submucosal infiltration of large epithelioid mononuclear or binucleated cells with fine granular ground glass-like cytoplasm and round to kidney-shaped nuclei with prominent nucleoli, without atypical features or relevant pleomorphism, accompanied by sparse giant cells and lymphocytes. These cells stained positive for CD68 and CD45 and negative for S100, CD1a, and markers of epithelial or neural/melanocytic differentiation, altogether consistent with a diagnosis of reticulohistiocytosis. Clinic-pathological correlation allowed the final diagnosis of MRH. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a co-occurrence of MRH with ASIA and this is relevant to broaden the spectrum of those both rare diseases."
+2757,skin cancer,39096416,Immunohistochemistry for YAP1 N-terminus and C-terminus highlights metaplastic thymoma and high-grade thymic epithelial tumors by different staining patterns.,"Metaplastic thymoma (MT), a rare subtype of thymic epithelial tumors (TETs), harbors YAP1::MAML2 fusions. Poroma, a skin tumor, also carries these fusions and exhibits a unique staining pattern for YAP1 immunohistochemistry (IHC), namely, a YAP1 N-terminus (YAP1[N])-positive but YAP1 C-terminus (YAP1[C])-negative pattern. In this context, MT was recently reported to lack YAP1(C) expression exclusively among TET subtypes. However, a lack of information about YAP1(N) expression in that study and another report that wild-type YAP1 expression was diminished in type B3 thymoma and thymic carcinoma warrants further studies for YAP1 expression in TETs. Thus, we immunohistochemically examined YAP1(N) and YAP1(C) staining patterns in our TET samples, including 14 cases of MT. In addition, 11 of the 14 MT cases were genetically analyzed with the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues if they harbored YAP1::MAML2 fusions. MT consistently exhibited YAP1(N)-positive and YAP(C)-negative staining, whereas type B3 thymoma and thymic carcinoma showed relatively heterogeneous staining patterns for YAP1(N) and YAP1(C) and were sometimes negative for both antibodies. Furthermore, a lower expression of YAP1 was found in type B3 compared to B2 thymomas. Among genetically analyzed 11 MT cases, 6 cases showed YAP1::MAML2 fusions, whereas the analysis failed in 5 very old cases due to poor RNA quality. These results indicate that IHC of both YAP1(N) and YAP1(C) is recommended to obtain staining patterns almost unique to MT. The biological significance of YAP1 in high-grade TETs warrants further investigation."

UVA (320-400 nm) is a significant contributor to UV-related skin damage. The UVA spectrum makes up over 95% of solar-UV energy reaching the earth's surface causing the majority of the visible signs of skin photoaging. Many consumer products also emit UVA, including nail dryers. There have been sporadic reports suggesting that these units may be contributing to skin cancer incidence. This notion was recently bolstered by a finding that nail dryer-irradiated mammalian skin cells develop a mutational signature consistent with UVA exposure. This report was surprising considering the comparatively low level of UVA to which the skin is exposed during nail treatments. In this research, we investigated how UVA-emitting devices caused cytotoxic/genotoxic impact after only low levels of UVA exposure. Our data showed that levels of UVA in the unit are highly variable and location dependent. We confirm previous reports that using prolonged exposure protocols could induce significant levels of DNA damage. It was also determined that UV-induced DNA damage only partially correlated with the level of UVA fluency. On investigation, we found that the unit had a rapid increase in internal temperature when in use. Exposing human cells to these elevated temperatures acted synergistically with UVA to magnify the cytotoxic and genotoxic impact of UV irradiation."

Despite its high complexity, Mohs surgery is well practiced in USA and Germany and presents very good results both in esthetic and in carcinology point of view. Large lesions more than 2 cm remain challenging to remove by topical cream used in photodynamic therapy (PDT). If these larger lesions are not treated in less than 1 month, they could grow deeply in the skin, thus enhancing the risk of reoccurrence and the severity of the disease.

Oncologists noted reduced cancer screening, which impacted melanoma diagnosis and treatment, leading to concerns about delayed care and poorer outcomes. This review analyzes how the pandemic influenced melanoma ulceration risk and Breslow thickness index through a meta-analysis of published studies. Following PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a systematic review of literature from January 2021 to December 2022 on cutaneous melanoma before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Upon screening 1854 manuscripts, the review led to 13 studies meeting inclusion standards. The quality assessment followed MINORS and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale criteria. Regarding ulceration, post-COVID ulceration surpassed pre-COVID levels significantly, with a risk ratio of 1.31 and an estimated odds ratio of 1.41, indicating a 44% rise post-COVID. As for Breslow thickness, studies show a rising trend in the Breslow index post-COVID, but less significantly, with an effect size of 0.08 regarding the meta-analysis model (P = 0.02) with a pre-COVID mean Breslow of 1.56 mm and post-COVID of 1.84 mm. This meta-analysis concluded that post-COVID ulceration rates significantly surpassed pre-COVID levels. Considering that ulcerated melanomas usually undergo sentinel lymph node biopsy and are more likely to benefit from adjuvant therapies, this indicates important implications, as many patients might have missed the opportunity to start therapy appropriately, regardless of their Breslow thickness status."

+2766,skin cancer,39095688,Enhanced skin cancer diagnosis using optimized CNN architecture and checkpoints for automated dermatological lesion classification.,"Skin cancer stands as one of the foremost challenges in oncology, with its early detection being crucial for successful treatment outcomes. Traditional diagnostic methods depend on dermatologist expertise, creating a need for more reliable, automated tools. This study explores deep learning, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of skin cancer diagnosis. Leveraging the HAM10000 dataset, a comprehensive collection of dermatoscopic images encompassing a diverse range of skin lesions, this study introduces a sophisticated CNN model tailored for the nuanced task of skin lesion classification. The model's architecture is intricately designed with multiple convolutional, pooling, and dense layers, aimed at capturing the complex visual features of skin lesions. To address the challenge of class imbalance within the dataset, an innovative data augmentation strategy is employed, ensuring a balanced representation of each lesion category during training. Furthermore, this study introduces a CNN model with optimized layer configuration and data augmentation, significantly boosting diagnostic precision in skin cancer detection. The model's learning process is optimized using the Adam optimizer, with parameters fine-tuned over 50 epochs and a batch size of 128 to enhance the model's ability to discern subtle patterns in the image data. A Model Checkpoint callback ensures the preservation of the best model iteration for future use. The proposed model demonstrates an accuracy of 97.78% with a notable precision of 97.9%, recall of 97.9%, and an F2 score of 97.8%, underscoring its potential as a robust tool in the early detection and classification of skin cancer, thereby supporting clinical decision-making and contributing to improved patient outcomes in dermatology."

In the present study, we describe the morphologic, immunohistochemical, and genetic features of 16 primary cutaneous carcinomas harboring mutations activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway without evidence of matrical differentiation, as well as 4 combined tumors in which a similar Wnt/β-catenin-activated carcinoma component was associated with Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) or pilomatrical carcinoma. Among the pure tumor cases, 6 of 16 patients were women with a median age of 80 years (range, 58-98 years). Tumors were located on the head and neck (n = 7, 44%), upper limb (n = 4, 25%), trunk (n = 3, 18%), and leg (n = 2, 13%). Metastatic spread was observed in 4 cases resulting in death from disease in 1 patient. Microscopically, all cases were poorly differentiated neoplasms infiltrating the dermis and/or subcutaneous tissue. In 13 cases, solid ""squamoid"" areas were associated with a basophilic component characterized by rosette/pseudoglandular formation resulting in a biphasic appearance. Three specimens consisted only of poorly differentiated carcinoma lacking rosette formation. Immunohistochemical studies showed frequent expression of EMA (100%), BerEP4 (100%), cytokeratin 7 (94%), chromogranin A (44%), synaptophysin (82%), and cytokeratin 20 (69%). Complete loss of Rb expression was observed in all but 1 case. Nuclear β-catenin and CDX2 expressions were detected in all cases. Recurrent pathogenic somatic mutations were observed in APC (60%), CTNNB1 (40%), and RB1 (n = 47%). Global methylation analysis confirmed that cases with rosette formation constituted a homogeneous tumor group distinct from established skin tumor entities (pilomatrical carcinoma, MCC, and squamous cell carcinoma), although the 3 other cases lacking such morphologic features did not. In addition, we identified 4 combined neoplasms in which there was a component showing a similar poorly differentiated rosette-forming carcinoma demonstrating Rb loss and β-catenin activation associated with either MCC (n = 3) or pilomatrical carcinoma (n = 1). In conclusion, we describe a distinctive neoplasm, for which we propose the term ""Wnt/β-catenin-activated rosette-forming carcinoma,"" morphologically characterized by the association of rosette formation, squamous and/or neuroendocrine differentiation, diffuse CDX2 expression, Rb loss, and mutations in CTNNB1/APC genes."

Alternative adjuvant treatment strategies appropriate for their management are needed. Modifiable lifestyle factors influence disease outcomes, either improving or worsening outcomes. Exercise is an example of a modifiable lifestyle factor, and can be prescribed as an adjuvant therapy in other cancer types to improve immune function and overall clinical outcomes. The initial aim of the review was to investigate the T-cell specific mechanisms of exercise which affect clinical/disease outcomes in skin cancer. Study quality was assessed by a modified Covidence quality assessment template with animal-model study specific criteria. A total of 10 articles were included; all articles were murine model studies investigating melanoma. Eight studies (n=8) employed a randomised controlled trial design, with two bio-informatics studies, and one study using human data which could solidify a link to human health. While the review focussed initially on T-cells, many studies reported significant changes in NK cells, and as they share the same haematopoietic lineage/ common lymphoid progenitor as T cells, the data was included in the analyses. Most studies indicated that exercise reduced melanoma tumour burden. Exercising prior to melanoma inoculation was most effective for delaying carcinogenesis and reducing tumour burden. Synergism was a topic identified in studies; PD-1/PD-L1 treatment, and exercise were not synergistic. Conversely, exercise and mental stimulation were synergistic, and the temperature at which exercise was conducted significantly reduced tumour burden. Several murine studies reported that exercise improved clinical outcomes in melanoma, and that long-term exercise was more effective in reducing tumour burden. Further studies are required to investigate this relationship in humans, and in other types of skin cancer."

Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based automated methods can play a significant role in its early detection. This study presents an AI-based novel approach, termed 'DualAutoELM' for the effective identification of various types of skin cancers. The proposed method leverages a network of autoencoders, comprising two distinct autoencoders: the spatial autoencoder and the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform)-autoencoder. The spatial-autoencoder specializes in learning spatial features within input lesion images whereas the FFT-autoencoder learns to capture textural and distinguishing frequency patterns within transformed input skin lesion images through the reconstruction process. The use of attention modules at various levels within the encoder part of these autoencoders significantly improves their discriminative feature learning capabilities. An Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) with a single layer of feedforward is trained to classify skin malignancies using the characteristics that were recovered from the bottleneck layers of these autoencoders. The 'HAM10000' and 'ISIC-2017' are two publicly available datasets used to thoroughly assess the suggested approach. The experimental findings demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the proposed technique, with AUC, precision, and accuracy values for the 'HAM10000' dataset being 0.98, 97.68% and 97.66%, and for the 'ISIC-2017' dataset being 0.95, 86.75% and 86.68%, respectively.

Symptoms often present in the form of congenital abnormalities including cognitive disabilities, growth retardation, abnormal earlobes, congenital heart disease, and dysmorphia of the skull and face. Current literature suggests patients with tetrasomy 9p may exhibit any combination of these symptoms or, in rare instances, none at all. Although karyotyping, chromosomal microarray, and galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase activity analyses are the definitive diagnostic methods used, there remains a need for more robust clinical recognition in cases of mild phenotypic expression.

The currently used Fitzpatrick classification of sun-reactive skin types is inadequate. Newer scales that have been used in immigration surveys and sociology studies are not applicable in the office setting. A new, non-racial and non-ethnic, colorimetric scale for skin of color has recently been proposed that is simple to perform. The scale has five colors: very light beige (skin color type 1), light brown (skin color type 2), medium brown (skin color type 3), dark brown (skin color type 4) and very dark brown (skin color type 5); an individual with white skin, such as in albinism, would have a skin color type 0 in this classification. In conclusion, the colorimetric scale enables the rapid classification of individuals with skin of color and allows for accurate assessment of skin cancer risk, more appropriate management of cosmetic dermatologic procedures and aesthetic devices, and enhanced ability for focused counseling regarding hair products, skin care interventions, and color-targeted makeup based on the person's skin tone."

Recently, external exposure to a chemical of rhododenol (RD) caused chemical leukoderma, an acquired patchy hypopigmentation, in about 20,000 Asian people. The development of a hazard assessment system for accurate determination of leukoderma-inducible chemicals is required for the prevention of such tragedies. Case studies in humans have shown 6 chemicals, including RD, with a constitutive leukoderma-inducible potency and 3 chemicals with a photosensitive but not a constitutive leukoderma-inducible potency. In this study, the 6 positive and 3 negative control chemicals with or without constitutive leukoderma-inducible potencies were investigated by our previously developed in vivo hazard assessment system using tail skin of mice. Based on the results of validation, this study aimed to develop an in vitro hazard assessment system to correctly determine chemicals with a constitutive leukoderma-inducible potency. As expected, external exposure to the 6 positive control chemicals, but not external exposure to the 3 negative control chemicals, resulted in development of constitutive leukoderma in mouse tail skin with a decreased level of skin melanin and decreased number of melanocytes. Moreover, the 6 positive and 3 negative control chemicals were correctly distinguished by the presence or absence of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induction, but not by tyrosinase-dependent cell death or production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), in immortalized normal melanocytes. The hazard assessment system using tail skin could be a solid in vivo tool to reliably determine the chemical potency of a chemical for constitutive leukoderma induction. The hazard assessment system focusing on ER stress induction in normal melanocytes might be a novel and convenient in vitro tool for accurately evaluating chemicals with leukoderma-inducible potencies. Thus, this study contributed to environmentology through the development of a screening system for preventing an environmental factor-related disease."

However, recent research has unveiled a tantalizing enigma surrounding this bacterium and its potential involvement in carcinogenesis. Chronic S. aureus infections have been linked to an elevated risk of certain cancers, including skin cancer and oral cancer. This review explores the current state of knowledge regarding this connection, examining epidemiological evidence, pathogenic mechanisms, and biological interactions that suggest a correlation. Although initial studies point to a possible link, the precise mechanisms through which S. aureus may contribute to cancer development remain elusive. Emerging evidence suggests that the chronic inflammation induced by persistent S. aureus infections may create a tumor-promoting environment. This inflammation can lead to DNA damage, disrupt cellular signaling pathways, and generate an immunosuppressive microenvironment conducive to cancer progression. Additionally, S. aureus produces a variety of toxins and metabolites that can directly interact with host cells, potentially inducing oncogenic transformations. Despite these insights, significant gaps remain in our understanding of the exact biological processes involved. This review emphasizes the urgent need for more comprehensive research to clarify these microbiological mysteries.

We first track BRAF kinase activity conformational changes upon melanoma drug binding. Second, we also use the KinCon reporter technology to examine the impact of regulatory protein interactions on LKB1 kinase tumor suppressor functions. Third, we explore the conformational dynamics of RIP kinases in response to TNF pathway activation and small molecule interactions. Finally, we show that CDK4/6 interactions with regulatory proteins alter conformations which remain unaffected in the presence of clinically applied inhibitors. Apart from its predictive value, the KinCon technology helps to identify cellular factors that impact drug efficacies.

The current golden standard for SLN detection is the radioisotope technetium. A promising alternative is fluorescence imaging (FLI) using ICG. In this study, we enrolled patients undergoing sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for skin melanoma at the Erasmus Medical Center between November 2022 and July 2023. The SLNB procedure was performed as a standard of care. After general anesthesia, ICG was injected intradermally around the primary tumor site. Both the patient and the surgeon were not blinded for the location of the SLN. FLI was performed before incision, in vivo after incision, and ex vivo. Fluorescent SLNs were confirmed using the gamma probe in all cases. Thirty-two patients were included in this study, and a total of 39 SLNs were harvested. The transcutaneous detection rate of ICG was 21.9%. The combined ex vivo ICG fluorescence and technetium uptake was 94.9%. One SLN contained only ICG (2.6%) and one SLN contained only technetium-uptake (2.6%). FLI using ICG resulted in a relatively low transcutaneous detection, which means that exclusive use of this technique in its present form is not feasible. However, we did find a high accumulation of ICG in the SLN, indicating the potential of ICG in combination with other imaging techniques."

This in turn can result in a significant delay or even a permanent discontinuation in the patient's treatment of prostate cancer. As apalutamide is a generally well tolerated and an effective treatment for many men with advanced prostate cancer, it is extremely important to make attempts to prevent skin problems or to manage them at the earliest stage possible. We therefore have developed practical guidance for the management of apalutamide-related rash, including an infographic with recommendations for rash management by grade. Central to this approach is patient education and awareness. Encouraging patients to proactively care for their skin from the start of treatment and informing them of the risk of rash with apalutamide therapy are essential. If the patient observes any skin changes, they should be advised to report it straight away to their cancer care team. Adopting this simple, proactive approach of patient education and increased vigilance from the care team is expected to lead to early identification of rash and subsequent intervention to allow for quicker resolution and enable patients to continue their cancer treatment with a drug that can delay disease progression and increase survival in patients with prostate cancer."

Licensed therapies which activate the immune system to target cancer cells can be broadly divided into two classes. The first class are antibodies that inhibit immune checkpoint signalling, known as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). The second class are cell-based immune therapies including chimeric antigen receptor T lymphocyte (CAR-T) cell therapies, natural killer (NK) cell therapies, and tumour infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapies. The clinical efficacy of all these treatments generally outweighs the risks, but there is a high rate of immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which are often unpredictable in timing with clinical sequalae ranging from mild (e.g. rash) to severe or even fatal (e.g. myocarditis, cytokine release syndrome) and reversible to permanent (e.g. endocrinopathies).The mechanisms underpinning irAE pathology vary across different irAE complications and syndromes, reflecting the broad clinical phenotypes observed and the variability of different individual immune responses, and are poorly understood overall. Immune-related cardiovascular toxicities have emerged, and our understanding has evolved from focussing initially on rare but fatal ICI-related myocarditis with cardiogenic shock to more common complications including less severe ICI-related myocarditis, pericarditis, arrhythmias, including conduction system disease and heart block, non-inflammatory heart failure, takotsubo syndrome and coronary artery disease. In this scientific statement on the cardiovascular toxicities of immune therapies for cancer, we summarize the pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of ICI, CAR-T, NK, and TIL therapies. We also highlight gaps in the literature and where future research should focus."

Although the myositis-specific autoantibodies are associated with distinct clinical presentations of DM, those associated with VD remain unclear. Here, we present the case of a 54-year-old man with VD who tested positive for anti-nuclear matrix protein 2 (NXP-2) antibody, one of the DM-specific autoantibodies. Serological and histopathological findings did not support autoimmune blistering disease. Physical and histological findings suggested that the severe edema in combination with the interface dermatitis of DM contributed to blister formation. Although a systemic examination was performed, no evidence of malignancy was found. Following initiation of immunosuppressive therapy, the patient showed significant improvement in both skin lesions and myositis. This case represents the first report of anti-NXP-2-positive VD without malignancy or autoimmune blistering disease. Subcutaneous edema, a characteristic feature of anti-NXP-2-positive DM, could be related to the formation of VD."

Over the period of eight days, it grew to 2 × 2 cm. A well-defined encapsulated lesion with thick cellular debris was found on an ultrasonography of the local region. Under local anesthesia, the patient had a cyst excision. Early detection by ultrasonography is beneficial in skin lesions to confirm if they are benign or malignant. Complete excision of the cyst is the treatment in order to limit the morbidity and lower the aggressive behavior.

Over the past few decades, the management of this type of malignancy has undergone a significant revolution with the advent of both targeted therapies and immunotherapy, which have greatly improved patient quality of life and survival. Nevertheless, the response rates are still unsatisfactory for the presence of side effects and development of resistance mechanisms. In this context, tumor microenvironment has emerged as a factor affecting the responsiveness and efficacy of immunotherapy, and the study of its interplay with the immune system has offered new promising clinical strategies. This review provides a brief overview of the currently available immunotherapeutic strategies for melanoma treatment by analyzing both the positive aspects and those that require further improvement. Indeed, a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in the immune evasion of melanoma cells, with particular attention on the role of the tumor microenvironment, could provide the basis for improving current therapies and identifying new predictive biomarkers."

It is the second most common type of ichthyosis, with a prevalence of 1/6,000 to 1/2,000 in males and without any racial or geographical differences. The causative gene for XLI is the steroid sulfatase gene (STS), located on Xp22.3. STS deficiency causes an abnormal cholesterol sulfate (CS) accumulation in the stratum corneum (SC). Excess CS induces epidermal permeability barrier dysfunction and scaling abnormalities. This review summarizes XLI's genetic, clinical, and pathological features, pathogenesis, diagnosis and differential diagnoses, and therapeutic perspectives.

However, paclitaxel in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor targeting PD-1/PD-L1 was only used to treat a small proportion of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and the clinical outcomes was very limited. In addition, this regimen cannot prevent paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy. Therefore, there was an urgent need for a novel target to enhance the antitumor activity of paclitaxel and alleviate chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in breast cancer. Here, we found that Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) expression was upregulated in multiply subtypes of human breast cancer specimens after paclitaxel-based chemotherapy.

Recent scientific research enables the identification of relevant diseases (obesity, metabolic diseases, sleep disorders, mental health conditions, Long-COVID-19, and cancer rehabilitation) that could potentially benefit from balneo-therapeutic treatments, thereby presenting new avenues of opportunity for SPA (""Salus per Aquam"") medicine. These conditions exemplify the potential benefits of BT for ailments beyond the traditional scope of treatment associated with BT (most commonly osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, rheumatic back pain, and chronic inflammatory respiratory or skin disorders). Overall, the current scientific evidence suggests that BT holds significant potential for enhancing both individual wellbeing and public health.

+2841,skin cancer,39085641,ESR Essentials: diagnostic work-up in patients with symptomatic breast disease-practice recommendations by the European Society of Breast Imaging.,"Breast complaints are frequent reasons for consultations in primary care or breast clinics. Breast pain, breast lumps, and nipple discharge are the most common complaints. Less common symptoms such as skin changes and axillary abnormalities also require specific diagnostic approaches. Imaging the symptomatic breast should be performed by appropriately trained breast radiologists following the best practice guidelines and quality standards. Full-field digital mammography (FFDM), digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), and breast ultrasound (US) are the main modalities used in this primary setting. The choice depends on the patient's age and symptoms. Women younger than 30-years-old are first imaged by US, whereas women over 40-years-old usually require both FFDM or DBT and US. For women between 30-years-old and 40-years-old, the US is the modality of choice, whereas FFDM or DBT might also be performed if needed. Pregnant or lactating women with palpable lesions or nipple discharge are imaged with US as the first method; FFDM or DBT can also be performed depending on the degree of suspicion as the dose to the fetus is minimal, and shielding may even further reduce the dose. More advanced techniques such as breast magnetic resonance imaging or contrast-enhanced mammography are not indicated in this first diagnostic setting and are reserved for cases of established malignancy (local staging) or rare cases of equivocal findings not otherwise resolved or inflammatory breast cancer. Last, but not least, male breast symptoms should also be addressed with US and/or FFDM. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: It is equally important to correctly diagnose an underlying malignancy and to avoid false positives that would lead to unnecessary biopsies, increased costs, and anxiety for the patient. Proper use of imaging modalities ensures optimal diagnostic approach and minimizes false negatives. KEY POINTS: Ultrasound, full-field digital mammography, or digital breast tomosynthesis are the main imaging modalities in the diagnostic setting, while MRI or contrast-enhanced mammography should be reserved to selected cases. Initial imaging modality includes ultrasound combined with mammography or digital breast tomosynthesis depending on women's age and the presence (or not) of inconclusive findings. A negative imaging evaluation should not deter biopsy when a highly suspicious finding is found on physical examination."

The healing process is often interrupted by the invasion of resistant pathogens that results in the failure of conventional procedures outside the clinical settings. Herein, we designed nanofibers dressing with intrinsic antibacterial potential of poly(vinyl-pyrrolidone)-iodine/ poly (vinyl)-alcohol by electrospinning with chitosan encapsulating ceftriaxone (CPC/NFs). The optimized electrospun CPC/NFs exhibited smooth surface morphology with average diameter of 165 ± 7.1 nm, drug entrapment and loading efficiencies of 76.97 ± 4.7 % and 8.32 ± 1.73 %, respectively. The results displayed smooth and uniformed fibers with adequate thermal stability and ensured chemical doping. The enhanced in vitro antibacterial efficacy of CPC/NFs against resistant E. coli isolates and biosafety studies encourage the use of designed nanofibers dressing for burn injuries and diabetic foot injuries. In vivo studies proved the healing power of dressing for burn wounds model and diabetic infected wounds model. Immunofluorescence investigation of the wound tissue also suggested promising healing ability of CPC/NFs.

The core was SNX@PLL-FPBA NPs prepared from polylysine conjugated 3-fluoro-4-carboxyphenylboronic acid (PLL-FPBA) self-assembly and SNX encapsulation, while the shell was methacrylate-modified hyaluronic acid (mHA) adhering to the core by electrostatic interactions and subsequently stabilized by photo-crosslinking, without the use of any organic solvent. SNX@PLL-FPBA/mHA NPs exhibited good stability in varying ionic strengths (0-0.30 M NaCl), pH levels (6.8 and 7.4), and plasma environments mimicking the blood, ensuring their efficacy in systemic circulation. The drug delivery from the nanoparticles was highly sensitive to ATP/Hyals stimuli (82 % within 48 h), closely mimicking the intracellular environment of breast cancer cells. The nanoparticles demonstrated good hemocompatibility and non-toxicity towards human skin fibroblasts. Efficient internalization of SNX@PLL-FPBA/mHA NPs by MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells was observed by CLSM and flow cytometry. The intracellular ATP/Hyals stimuli triggered the rapid drug delivery and induced cellular apoptosis. Thus, SNX@PLL-FPBA/mHA NPs were a promising drug nanocarrier for breast cancer therapy, offering improved stability, targeted delivery, and controlled drug release to enhance treatment outcomes."

Its teratogenic, immunotoxic and carcinogenic effects on organisms are well documented and widely recognized by researchers. In the body, BaP is enzymatically converted to form a more active benzo(a)pyrene-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE). BaP/BPDE has the potential to trigger gene mutations, influence epigenetic modifications and cause damage to cellular structures, ultimately contributing to disease onset and progression. However, there are different points of view when studying epigenetics using BaP/BPDE. On the one hand, it is claimed in cancer research that BaP/BPDE contributes to gene hypermethylation and, in particular, induces the hypermethylation of tumor's suppressor gene promoters, leading to gene silencing and subsequent cancer development. Conversely, studies in human and animal populations suggest that exposure to BaP results in genome-wide DNA hypomethylation, potentially leading to adverse outcomes in inflammatory diseases. This apparent contradiction has not been summarized in research for almost four decades. This article presents a comprehensive review of the current literature on the influence of BaP/BPDE on DNA methylation regulation. It demonstrates that BaP/BPDE exerts a dual-phase regulatory effect on methylation, which is influenced by factors such as the concentration and duration of BaP/BPDE exposure, experimental models and detection methods used in various studies. Acute/high concentration exposure to BaP/BPDE often results in global demethylation of DNA, which is associated with inhibition of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) after exposure. At certain specific gene loci (e.g., RAR-β), BPDE can form DNA adducts, recruiting DNMT3 and leading to hypermethylation at specific sites. By integrating these different mechanisms, our goal is to unravel the patterns and regulations of BaP/BPDE-induced DNA methylation changes and provide insights into future precision therapies targeting epigenetics."

Loss-of-function MC1R variants suppress G protein-coupled receptor coupling or cell surface expression leading to a decrease in adenyl cyclase activation and intracellular levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate. Chronic activation of MC1R can occur in certain medical conditions such as Addison's disease and physiologic states such as pregnancy melasma. MC1R activation is more commonly caused by environmental exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Approved pharmacologic melanocortin agonists that activate MC1R signalling in a targeted manner or as a bystander effect have recently become available for erythropoietic protoporphyria, sexual desire disorders, monogenic obesity and syndromic obesity. Further, small peptide analogues of α-melanocortin-stimulating hormone, human MC1R selective agonists, are photoprotective, decreasing the adverse impact of UV radiation (a primary risk factor for skin cancer) and are being investigated as potential chemoprevention strategies. MC1R activation through induction of UV-protective skin pigmentation increased DNA repair, and control of aberrant cell growth may reduce the risk of melanoma but importantly does not prevent melanoma particularly in individuals with risk factors and regular skin examination remains critical in high-risk individuals."

We obtained clinical information on pediatric melanoma patients from the SEER database between 2000 and 2018. Each patient was split into a training cohort or a validation cohort at random. Results between various subgroups were compared using Kaplan-Meier analyses. We created a nomogram to calculate the probability of survival for pediatric patients with melanoma. The performance of nomograms was assessed using calibration and discrimination. To assess the clinical use of this newly created model, decision curve analysis was also performed. In this study, a total of 890 eligible patients were chosen at random and allocated to 70% of training cohorts ( n  = 623) and 30% of validation cohorts ( n  = 267). After applying the chosen various components to create a nomogram, validated indexes showed that the nomogram had a strong capacity for discrimination.

EISM lesions may be accompanied by angiogenesis, which can alter the PD's blood and fibril contents. A comprehensive understanding about these interconnected processes is essential for enhancing the efficacy of EISM optical evaluation methodologies. Employing a first-principles computational approach supported by measured data, we systematically assess the impact that angiogenesis can have on the EISM's spectral responses. Our findings indicate that these responses are discernibly affected by angiogenesis under distinct physiological conditions, with more substantial tissue alterations leading to accentuated spectral changes in the 550-600 nm region. Accordingly, we propose the use of a customized low-cost spectral index to monitor these processes. Furthermore, our investigation provides a high-fidelity in silico platform for interdisciplinary research on the photobiology of evolving skin melanomas."
+2870,skin cancer,39080818,Melanoma classification using generative adversarial network and proximal policy optimization.,"In oncology, melanoma is a serious concern, often arising from DNA changes caused mainly by ultraviolet radiation. This cancer is known for its aggressive growth, highlighting the necessity of early detection. Our research introduces a novel deep learning framework for melanoma classification, trained and validated using the extensive SIIM-ISIC Melanoma Classification Challenge-ISIC-2020 dataset. The framework features three dilated convolution layers that extract critical feature vectors for classification. A key aspect of our model is incorporating the Off-policy Proximal Policy Optimization (Off-policy PPO) algorithm, which effectively handles data imbalance in the training set by rewarding the accurate classification of underrepresented samples. In this framework, the model is visualized as an agent making a series of decisions, where each sample represents a distinct state. Additionally, a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) augments training data to improve generalizability, paired with a new regularization technique to stabilize GAN training and prevent mode collapse. The model achieved an F-measure of 91.836% and a geometric mean of 91.920%, surpassing existing models and demonstrating the model's practical utility in clinical environments. These results demonstrate its potential in enhancing early melanoma detection and informing more accurate treatment approaches, significantly advancing in combating this aggressive cancer."
+2871,skin cancer,39080418,Requirements for a dashboard optimized for melanoma patient care through user-centered context exploration.,"For time-sensitive treatment of a patient with malignant melanoma, physicians must obtain a rapid overview of the patient's status. This study aimed to analyze context-specific features and processes at the point of care to derive requirements for a dashboard granting more straightforward access to information. The Think-Aloud method, contextual inquiries, and interviews were performed with physicians from the Department of Dermatology at the University Hospital Essen in Germany. The user statements and observations that were obtained were grouped and categorized using an affinity diagram. Based on the derived subjects, requirements were defined, confirmed, and prioritized. The resulting affinity diagram revealed four topics of importance at the point of care. These topics are ""Identifying and Processing the Important"", a comprehensive ""Patient Record"", tasks and challenges in the ""Clinical Routine"", and interactions and experiences with the available ""Systems"". All aspects have been reflected in 135 requirements for developing context- and indication-specific patient dashboards. Our work has elucidated the most important aspects to consider when designing a dashboard that improves patient care by enabling physicians to focus on the relevant information. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that the aspects most often mentioned are not context-specific and can be generalized to other medical contexts."
+2872,skin cancer,39080341,Degenerative and regenerative peripheral processes are associated with persistent painful chemotherapy-induced neuropathies in males and females.,"This study investigated the time course of gene expression changes during the progression of persistent painful neuropathy caused by paclitaxel (PTX) in male and female mouse hindpaws and dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Bulk RNA-seq was used to examine these gene expression changes at 1, 16, and 31 days post-last PTX. At these time points, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were predominantly related to the reduction or increase in epithelial, skin, bone, and muscle development and to angiogenesis, myelination, axonogenesis, and neurogenesis. These processes are accompanied by the regulation of DEGs related to the cytoskeleton, extracellular matrix organization, and cellular energy production. This gene plasticity during the progression of persistent painful neuropathy could be interpreted as a biological process linked to tissue regeneration/degeneration. In contrast, gene plasticity related to immune processes was minimal at 1-31 days after PTX. It was also noted that despite similarities in biological processes and pain chronicity between males and females, specific DEGs differed dramatically according to sex. The main conclusions of this study are that gene expression plasticity in hindpaw and DRG during PTX neuropathy progression similar to tissue regeneration and degeneration, minimally affects immune system processes and is heavily sex-dependent at the individual gene level."

The synthesis process involved using a 1-mM zinc acetate dihydrate as a precursor in P. griseofulvum. Various analytical techniques, including FTIR spectroscopy, UV-Vis, TEM, XRD, and DLS, were utilized to characterize the ZnONPs. The efficacy of ZnONPs-PG was then evaluated in a DMBA/TPA-induced skin cancer model. Mice were treated topically with DMBA/TPA in acetone (200 μL) over 2 weeks, with treatments continuing for 20 weeks. Results showed 100% tumor occurrence, histological changes, elevated lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels, and decreased antioxidant levels in DMBA/TPA-treated mice. However, topical application of ZnONPs magnificently reverted the tumor occurrence, histological changes, elevated malanoldehyde and hydrogen peroxide levels; decreased antioxidant levels in DMBA/TPA-treated mice. ZnONPs-PG treatment suppressed the increased levels of inflammatory markers (COX-2, iNOS and NF-κB,) and cell proliferation markers (Cyclin-E1, Cyclin D1, VEGF, TGF-β1) exposed mice. In addition, ZnONPs-PG treatment decreased the DMBA/TPA-induced anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein and increasing the expression of pro-apoptotic markers (Bax and caspase 3) in skin tissues. Thus, ZnONPs-PG may prevent skin carcinogenesis through its potent antioxidant properties and inhibiting NF-κB-mediated inflammatory and proliferation pathways."

These rodents are used to study many fields of research including longevity and aging, cancer, circadian rhythm, pain, and metabolism. Currently, the analgesic dosing regimens used in the NMR mirror those used in other rodent species. However, there is no pharmacokinetic (PK) data supporting the use of injectable analgesics in the NMR. Therefore, we conducted 2 independent PK studies to evaluate 2 commonly used analgesics in the NMR: meloxicam (2 mg/kg SC) and buprenorphine (0.1 mg/kg SC). In each study, blood was collected at 8 time points after subcutaneous injection of meloxicam or buprenorphine (0 [predose], 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 h). Three NMRs were used per time point for a total of 24 animals per PK study. Plasma concentrations of meloxicam were highest between 0.5 and 1 h postinjection. Levels remained above the extrapolated dog and cat therapeutic threshold levels (390 to 911 ng/mL) for at least 24 h. Plasma concentrations of buprenorphine were highest between 0.25 and 0.5 h postinjection. Levels remained above the human therapeutic threshold (1 ng/mL) for up to 21 h. No skin reactions were seen in association with injection of either drug. In summary, these data support dosing meloxicam (2 mg/kg SC) once every 24 h and buprenorphine (0.1 mg/kg SC) once every 8 to 12 h in the NMR. Further studies should be performed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of these drugs by correlating plasma concentrations with postoperative pain assessments."

An essential component of successful 3D bioprinting is the selection of an appropriate bioink capable of supporting cell proliferation and viability. Plant-derived biomaterials, because of their abundance, biocompatibility, and tunable properties, hold promise as bioink sources, thus offering advantages over animal-derived biomaterials, which carry immunogenic concerns. This comprehensive review explores and analyzes the potential of plant-derived biomaterials as bioinks for 3D bioprinting of human tissues. Modification and optimization of these materials to enhance printability and biological functionality are discussed. Furthermore, cancer research and drug testing applications of the use of plant-based biomaterials in bioprinting various human tissues such as bone, cartilage, skin, and vascular tissues are described. Challenges and limitations, including mechanical integrity, cell viability, resolution, and regulatory concerns, along with potential strategies to overcome them, are discussed.

+2884,skin cancer,39079414,Intersection-union dual-stream cross-attention Lova-SwinUnet for skin cancer hair segmentation and image repair.,"Skin cancer images have hair occlusion problems, which greatly affects the accuracy of diagnosis and classification. Current dermoscopic hair removal methods use segmentation networks to locate hairs, and then uses repair networks to perform image repair. However, it is difficult to segment hair and capture the overall structure between hairs because of the hair being thin, unclear, and similar in color to the entire image. When conducting image restoration tasks, the only available images are those obstructed by hair, and there is no corresponding ground truth (supervised data) of the same scene without hair obstruction. In addition, the texture information and structural information used in existing repair methods are often insufficient, which leads to poor results in skin cancer image repair. To address these challenges, we propose the intersection-union dual-stream cross-attention Lova-SwinUnet (IUDC-LS). Firstly, we propose the Lova-SwinUnet module, which embeds Lovasz loss function into Swin-Unet, enabling the network to better capture features of various scales, thus obtaining better hair mask segmentation results. Secondly, we design the intersection-union (IU) module, which takes the mask results obtained in the previous step for pairwise intersection or union, and then overlays the results on the skin cancer image without hair to generate the labeled training data. This turns the unsupervised image repair task into the supervised one. Finally, we propose the dual-stream cross-attention (DC) module, which makes texture information and structure information interact with each other, and then uses cross-attention to make the network pay attention to the more important texture information and structure information in the fusion process of texture information and structure information, so as to improve the effect of image repair. The experimental results show that the PSNR index and SSIM index of the proposed method are increased by 5.4875 and 0.0401 compared with the other common methods. Experimental results unequivocally demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, which serves as a potent tool for skin cancer detection, significantly surpassing the performance of comparable methods."

Disease-specific treatments are required for cutaneous adnexal carcinomas due to their heterogeneous treatment responsiveness. This review reports on the epidemiology, diagnosis, pathological features, surgical management, and use of systemic therapies for cutaneous apocrine carcinoma. Diagnosing cutaneous apocrine carcinoma requires presenting with distinctive pathological features and excluding metastatic adenocarcinomas, particularly breast cancer. Clinical findings are essential to exclude metastatic adenocarcinomas, and immunohistochemistry can be used as an adjunctive tool to rule out other diseases. Wide local excision is the standard treatment for resectable cutaneous apocrine carcinomas. Prophylactic lymphadenectomy should be considered as a treatment option given the high incidence of lymph node metastasis. Generally, cutaneous apocrine carcinomas are resistant to chemotherapy and radiation therapy; however, adjuvant radiotherapy is recommended for high-risk patients. Radiation or systemic therapy is administered to patients with distant metastases or recurrence. The systemic therapeutic options include cytotoxic chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, targeted therapy, and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Given the lack of data on clinical prognosis and standardized treatments, further studies are needed to improve our understanding of cutaneous apocrine carcinomas."

Consequently, they have a significant impact on drug delivery and therapeutic efficacy. However, it remains unclear whether and how macrophages alter their biological function in response to nanoparticle elasticity. Here, we report on the nano-mechanical biological effects resulting from the interactions between elastic silica nanoparticles (SNs) and macrophages. The SNs with variational elasticity Young's moduli ranging from 81 to 837 MPa were synthesized, and it was demonstrated that M2 [tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs)] could be repolarized to M1 by the soft SNs. Additionally, our findings revealed that cell endocytosis, membrane tension, the curvature protein Baiap2, and the cytoskeleton were all influenced by the elasticity of SNs. Moreover, the mechanically sensitive protein Piezo1 on the cell membrane was activated, leading to calcium ion influx, activation of the NF-κB pathway, and the initiation of an inflammatory response. In vivo experiments demonstrated that the softest 81 MPa SNs enhanced tumor penetration and accumulation and repolarized TAMs in intratumoral hypoxic regions, ultimately resulting in a significant inhibition of tumor growth. Taken together, this study has established a cellular feedback mechanism in response to nanoparticle elasticity, which induces plasma membrane deformation and subsequent activation of mechanosensitive signals. This provides a distinctive ""nano-mechanical immunoengineering"" strategy for reprogramming TAMs to enhance cancer immunotherapy."

Telomerase promoter mutations (TERTp mutations) significantly influence melanoma's progression, invasiveness, and resistance to various emerging treatments, including chemical inhibitors, telomerase inhibitors, targeted therapy, and immunotherapies. We aim to understand the morphological and phenotypic implications of the two dominant monoallelic TERTp mutations, C228T and C250T, enriched in melanoma metastasis. We developed isogenic clonal cell lines containing the TERTp mutations and utilized dual-color expression reporters steered by the endogenous Telomerase promoter, giving us allelic resolution. This approach allowed us to monitor morpholomic variations induced by these mutations. TERTp mutation-bearing cells exhibited significant morpholome differences from their wild-type counterparts, with increased allele expression patterns, augmented wound-healing rates, and unique spatiotemporal dynamics. Notably, the C250T mutation exerted more pronounced changes in the morpholome than C228T, suggesting a differential role in metastatic potential. Our findings underscore the distinct influence of TERTp mutations on melanoma's cellular architecture and behavior. The C250T mutation may offer a unique morpholomic and systems-driven advantage for metastasis. These insights provide a foundational understanding of how a non-coding mutation in melanoma metastasis affects the system, manifesting in cellular morpholome."

Melatonin, known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, can mitigate the effects of these agents. Self-nano-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) containing a high melatonin concentration (5 %, 50 mg/g) were optimized using a quality-by-design approach from biocompatible, non-irritant excipients with a particle size of about 100 nm. The melatonin-loaded SNEDDS showed a 43-fold greater permeability than a conventional melatonin cream. Chemical stability at ambient temperature (25 °C) was maintained for one year. The preparation of optimised melatonin-loaded SNEDDS using a simple mixing method was compared to microfluidic micromixers. Mixing was successfully achieved using a 3D-printed (fused deposition modeling or stereolithography) T-shaped toroidal microfluidic chip (with a channel geometry optimized by computational fluid dynamics), resulting in a scalable, continuous process for the first time with a substantial reduction in preparation time compared to other conventional mixing approaches. No statistically significant differences were observed in the key quality attributes, such as particle size and melatonin loading, between mixing method till kinetic equilibrium solubility is reached and mixing using the 3D-printed micromixers. This scalable, continuous, cost-effective approach improves the overall efficiency of SNEDDS production, reduces the cost of quality control for multiple batches, and demonstrates the potential of continuous microfluidic manufacture with readily customizable 3D-printed micromixers at points of care, such as military bases."

Despite its prevalence, very little is known about how MCPyV interfaces with the host immune response to maintain asymptomatic persistent infection and how inadequate control of MCPyV infection triggers MCC tumorigenesis. In this study, we discovered that the MCPyV protein, known as the Alternative Large Tumor Open Reading Frame (ALTO), also referred to as middle T, effectively primes and activates the STING signaling pathway. It recruits Src kinase into the complex of STING downstream kinase TBK1 to trigger its autophosphorylation, which ultimately activates the subsequent antiviral immune response. Combining single-cell analysis with both loss- and gain-of-function studies of MCPyV infection, we demonstrated that the activity of ALTO leads to a decrease in MCPyV replication. Thus, we have identified ALTO as a crucial viral factor that modulates the STING-TBK1 pathway, creating a negative feedback loop that limits viral infection and maintains a delicate balance with the host immune system. Our study reveals a novel mechanism by which a tumorigenic virus-encoded protein can link Src function in cell proliferation to the activation of innate immune signaling, thereby controlling viral spread, and sustaining persistent infection. Our previous findings suggest that STING also functions as a tumor suppressor in MCPyV-driven oncogenesis. This research provides a foundation for investigating how disruptions in the finely tuned virus-host balance, maintained by STING, could alter the fate of MCPyV infection, potentially encouraging malignancy."

Here, we constructed a laser and enzyme dual responsive nanodrug delivery system Tf-Te@CTSL-HCQ (TT@CH) to precisely regulate autophagy in synergy with phototherapy to inhibit the proliferation and metastasis of melanoma. Firstly, transferrin (Tf) was used as a nanoreactor to synthesise phototherapy agent Tf-Te by the biological template mineralisation method. Then, the thermosensitive liposome modified with FAP-α-responsive peptide (CAP) was used as a carrier to encapsulate autophagy inhibitor hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and Tf-Te, to obtain an intelligent TT@CH delivery system. Once arriving at the tumour site, TT@CH can be cleaved by FAP-α overexpressed on cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), and release Tf-Te and HCQ. Then Tf-Te can target melanoma cells and exert PTT/PDT anti-tumour effect. What's more, hyperpyrexia induced by PTT can further promote drugs release from TT@CH. Meanwhile, HCQ simultaneously inhibited autophagy of CAFs and melanoma cells, and down-regulated IL-6 and HMGB1 secretion, thus effectively inhibiting melanoma metastasis. Pharmacodynamic results exhibited the best anti-tumour effect of TT@CH with the highest tumour inhibition rate of 91.3%. Meanwhile, lung metastatic nodules of TT@CH treated mice reduced by 124.33 compared with that of mice in control group. Overall, TT@CH provided an effective therapy strategy for melanoma."

Many factors concerning melanoma mortality are poorly understood, posing an obstacle to optimal care. We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study of 183 patients with metastatic melanoma who died following immunotherapy treatment to investigate sites of metastases at death, settings of death, and mechanisms of death. The median time from metastatic diagnosis to death was 16.1 months (range 0.3-135.1 months). Most patients experienced hospitalization within 3 months before death (80.3%), with 31.7% dying while hospitalized, 31.2% while in inpatient hospice, and 29.4% while in home hospice. The most common sites of metastases at death were distant lymph nodes (62.8%), lung (57.9%), liver (50.8%), brain (38.8%), and bone (37.7%). The most common causes of death were progressive failure to thrive (57.5%), respiratory failure (22.4%), and infection (21.8%); the vast majority (87.9%) of patients died from melanoma-specific causes. Overall, 10.9% of patients in our cohort had survival >5 years after metastatic diagnosis, and 76.2% of long-term survivors died due to melanoma. This study describes factors associated with melanoma mortality, highlighting an ongoing need for therapeutic advancements."
+2920,skin cancer,39072997,The classification of melanocytic gene signatures.,"Gene expression profiling technologies have revolutionized cell biology, enabling researchers to identify gene signatures linked to various biological attributes of melanomas, such as pigmentation status, differentiation state, proliferative versus invasive capacity, and disease progression. Although the discovery of gene signatures has significantly enhanced our understanding of melanocytic phenotypes, reconciling the numerous signatures reported across independent studies and different profiling platforms remains a challenge. Current methods for classifying melanocytic gene signatures depend on exact gene overlap and comparison with unstandardized baseline transcriptomes. In this study, we aimed to categorize published gene signatures into clusters based on their similar patterns of expression across clinical cutaneous melanoma specimens. We analyzed nearly 800 melanoma samples from six gene expression repositories and developed a classification framework for gene signatures that is resilient against biases in gene identification across profiling platforms and inconsistencies in baseline standards. Using 39 frequently cited published gene signatures, our analysis revealed seven principal classes of gene signatures that correlate with previously identified phenotypes: Differentiated, Mitotic/MYC, AXL, Amelanotic, Neuro, Hypometabolic, and Invasive. Each class is consistent with the phenotypes that the constituent gene signatures represent, and our classification method does not rely on overlapping genes between signatures. To facilitate broader application, we created WIMMS (what is my melanocytic signature, available at https://wimms.tanlab.org/), a user-friendly web application. WIMMS allows users to categorize any gene signature, determining its relationship to predominantly cited signatures and its representation within the seven principal classes."

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally noninvasive treatment modality comprising photosensitizers (PSs), light sources, and endogenous molecular oxygen that exert a localized cytotoxic effect on cancer cells. The current study explores the therapeutic potential of sodium copper chlorophyllin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (CH-SCC NPs) along with handheld laser-based PDT on B16 cancer cells. A modified chlorophyll derivative identified as sodium copper chlorophyllin (SCC) is a dietary supplement that has anticancer properties. Herein, we have synthesized CH-SCC NPs using the ionic gelation method to enhance the PS's bioavailability and efficiency. Chitosan nanoparticles exhibited high biocompatibility in a normal cell line L929, zebrafish, and chick embryos, and were successfully employed to deliver the SCC to cancer cells. CH-SCC NPs showed an enhanced PDT effect that killed approximately 80%-85% of B16 cells. CH-SCC NPs in combination with a handheld portable laser source showed significant therapeutic potential against the B16 skin cancer cell line. The experimental findings further strengthen our device-repurposing strategy, which suggests that SCC nanoformulations along with handheld laser can be a suitable treatment for skin cancer even in remote areas where power source and treatment cost can be a limitation."

+2936,skin cancer,39069838,Lentigo maligna: a comprehensive review on diagnosis and treatment.,"Lentigo maligna (LM), a form of melanoma in situ, and LM melanoma (LMM), its invasive counterpart, exhibit distinctive epidemiology, risk factors, and clinical features compared to other melanoma subtypes. Notably, LM occurs on chronically sun-damaged skin presenting as a slow-growing, ill-defined patch which makes it difficult to diagnose and to treat. Additionally, while LM generally presents a favourable prognosis, it can also lead to dermal invasion and behave similarly to other melanomas with the same Breslow thickness. Hence, surgery continues to be the cornerstone treatment. Wide excisions are often necessary, but challenges arise when these lesions manifest in cosmetically sensitive regions, limiting the feasibility and desirability of large excisions. Specialized approaches, including margin-controlled surgery and image-guided treatment with reflectance confocal microscopy, have been developed to address these issues. Other non-surgical treatments such as cryosurgery, imiquimod, radiotherapy, or photodynamic therapy, may also be used but commonly present with recurrent/persistent disease.

To serve under-insured breast cancer patients in South Texas, we designed a patient education program to improve health literacy of secondary dermatologic changes after completing radiation therapy. A needs assessment survey was distributed to better understand the patients' stage of treatment, experiences with radiation-induced dermatologic side effects, and over-the-counter skin products and home remedies used. Of the 33 patients that participated in this program, nearly all patients (93.94%, n = 31) are either currently undergoing treatment or have completed treatment. Of the 31 individuals, 74.19% of patients (n = 23) have completed treatment at least 9-12 months ago, 22.58% (n = 7) are currently receiving chemotherapy, and 3.23% (n = 1) are currently undergoing radiation therapy. Among the dermatologic side effects, patients experienced changes to skin color, redness, and burns/burning sensation at the greatest severity. The top products used by survey participants were prescription-strength topical corticosteroids (65.63%) followed by oral analgesics (28.13%) and compression sleeves (25.00%). Aloe vera (15.63%) was the most used complementary and alternative therapeutic treatment. By surveying experiences of radiation-induced dermatologic side effects in predominantly under-resourced and minority communities, we can better tailor patient education programs to reflect patients' experiences. Overall, this program can enhance clinicians' insight on under-resourced patient experiences to improve health literacy and dispel common misconceptions surrounding breast cancer treatment, management, and survivorship."
+2940,skin cancer,39069368,Melanoma redox biology and the emergence of drug resistance.,"Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, with the loss of approximately 60,000 lives world-wide each year. Despite the development of targeted therapeutics, including compounds that have selectivity for mutant oncoproteins expressed only in cancer cells, many patients are either unresponsive to initial therapy or their tumors acquire resistance. This results in five-year survival rates of below 25%. New strategies that either kill drug-resistant melanoma cells or prevent their emergence would be extremely valuable. Melanoma, like other cancers, has long been described as being under increased oxidative stress, resulting in an increased reliance on antioxidant defense systems. Changes in redox homeostasis are most apparent during metastasis and during the metabolic reprogramming associated with the development of treatment resistance. This review discusses oxidative stress in melanoma, with a particular focus on targeting antioxidant pathways to limit the emergence of drug resistant cells."

The present review provides an overview of how melanoma cells use and modulate redox pathways to facilitate thiol homeostasis and melanin biosynthesis and describes plausible redox targets that may improve therapeutic approaches in managing malignant disease and metastasis. Melanotic melanoma has some unique characteristics. Making melanin requires a considerable dedication of cellular energy resources and utilizes glutathione and glutathione transferases in certain steps in the biosynthetic pathway. Melanin is an antioxidant but is also functionally important in hematopoiesis and influential in various aspects of host immune responses, giving it unique characteristics.

However, the mechanisms of pruritus in CTCL, including mycosis fungoides (MF), remain largely unknown, and detailed characteristics of CTCL-associated pruritus is not fully elucidated. To characterize pruritus in CTCL, cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (CBCL), and large plaque parapsoriasis (LPP), and to identify potential itch mediators involved in the pathogenesis of pruritus in CTCL patients. Clinical data and blood samples were collected from 129 healthy subjects and 142 patients. Itch intensity, QoL impairment, psychological distress, and sleep quality were assessed using validated questionnaires and instruments. Blood levels of BDNF, CCL24, GRP, IL-31, IL-33, sST2, substance P, TSLP, tryptase and total IgE were measured using ELISA or ImmunoCAP. Pruritus was prevalent in CTCL, LPP and CBCL patients, with higher prevalence and severity observed in CTCL. In CTCL, pruritus correlated with significant impairment in QoL, sleep, psychological distress. Compared to healthy controls, elevated levels of IL-31, IL-33, substance P, total IgE, tryptase, and TSLP were found in MF patients. A comparison of MF patients with and without pruritus revealed higher levels of IL-31, substance P, GRP, and CCL24 in the former. Itch intensity positively correlated with IL-31, GRP, CCL24, and tryptase levels. Pruritus significantly burdens CTCL patients, necessitating appropriate therapeutic management. Our findings suggest that various non-histaminergic mediators such as tryptase and IL-31 could be explored as novel therapeutic targets for managing pruritus in MF patients."

Considering the development of numerous models according to various scenarios and selecting the optimum model was rarely considered in previous works. This study aimed to develop various models for skin cancer classification and select the optimum model. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in the form of AlexNet, Inception V3, MobileNet V2, and ResNet 50 were used for feature extraction. Feature reduction was carried out using two algorithms of the grey wolf optimizer (GWO) in addition to using the original features. Skin cancer images were classified into four classes based on six machine learning (ML) classifiers. As a result, 51 models were developed with different combinations of CNN algorithms, without GWO algorithms, with two GWO algorithms, and with six ML classifiers. To select the optimum model with the best results, the multicriteria decision-making approach was utilized to rank the alternatives by perimeter similarity (RAPS). Model training and testing were conducted using the International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC) 2017 dataset. Based on nine evaluation metrics and according to the RAPS method, the AlexNet algorithm with a classical GWO yielded the optimum model, achieving a classification accuracy of 94.5%.

In nations with high tuberculosis (TB) load, TB is the most common cause of pericardial effusion. 1-2% of patients with pulmonary TB develop Pericardial TB worldwide. Multi-drug-resistant (MDR) TB, including extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) cases, are rising in number. Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) is an enzyme in lymphocytes and myeloid cells, which has certain immune functions in the body. ADA levels are increased in inflammatory conditions, like pleural, pericardial, or joint effusions, of bacterial etiology, granulomatous conditions, neoplasms, and autoimmune pathologies. TB is the only lymphocytosis involving disease with increased ADA levels. MDR EPTB is rare, but cases are on the rise, and tuberculous pericardial effusion is one such example. Hence, it is important to know the percentage of cases detected by a culture that can be identified by cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT), their resistance patterns, and to identify potential markers like ADA, which can help in early identification of cases. The objectives of this study were to identify the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) bacilli in culture, and correlate them with cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT) results and their drug-resistance, in the Pericardial tubercular effusion, and to find if Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) levels can be used as a predictor of the presence of MTB in pericardial fluid."

In this study, we present a rational approach to address these limitations and ensure colloidal stability of the nanoformulation over time by designing solid lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles (SLPH). Leveraging the biocompatible and cationic properties of polyaspartamides, we employed a new polyaspartamide derivative (P1) as a raw material for this class of nanostructures. Subsequently, we prepared SLPH through a one-step process involving hot-melt emulsification followed by ultrasonication. The physicochemical properties of the SLPH were thoroughly characterized using dynamic light scattering (DLS), ζ-potential analysis, nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The optimized formulation exhibited long-term stability over six months under low temperatures, maintaining a particle size around 200 nm, a polydispersity index (PdI) lower than 0.2, and a ζ-potential between +35-40 mV. Furthermore, we evaluated the cytotoxic effect of the SLPH against human cutaneous melanoma cells (SK-MEL-28) compared to human foreskin fibroblast cells (HFF-1). Encapsulation of glycoalkaloids into the nanoparticles (SLPH-GE) resulted in a two-fold greater selective cytotoxic profile for melanoma cells than glycoalkaloids-free (GE). The nanoparticles disrupted the stratum corneum barrier with a penetration depth of approximately 77 μm. These findings underscore the potential of the developed nanosystem as an effective glycoalkaloid carrier with suitable colloidal and biological properties for further studies in topical treatment strategies for cutaneous melanoma."

+2954,skin cancer,39066854,Advancements in Melanoma Therapies: From Surgery to Immunotherapy.,"Melanoma is defined as the most aggressive and deadly form of skin cancer. The treatment of melanoma depends on the disease stage, tumor location, and extent of its spread from its point of origin. Melanoma treatment has made significant advances, notably in the context of targeted and immunotherapies. Surgical resection is the main therapeutic option for earlystage melanoma, and it provides favourable outcomes. With disease metastasis, systemic treatments such as immunotherapy and targeted therapy become increasingly important. The identification of mutations that lead to melanoma has influenced treatment strategies. Targeted therapies focusing on these mutations offer improved response rates and fewer toxicities than conventional chemotherapy. Furthermore, developing immunotherapies, including checkpoint inhibitors and tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapies, has demonstrated encouraging outcomes in effectively combating cancer cells. These therapeutic agents demonstrate superior effectiveness and a more tolerable side-effect profile, improving the quality of life for patients receiving treatment. The future of melanoma treatment may involve a multimodal approach consisting of a combination of surgery, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy adapted to each patient's profile. This approach may improve survival rates and health outcomes."

Our study describes the prevalence, sociodemographics and inpatient mortality of Merkel Cell Carcinoma related hospitalizations in the United States from 2011 to 2020. We conducted an observational study using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database, which captures a 20% sample of all hospitalizations in the United States. We utilized the International Classification of Disease Clinical Modification codes from the ninth and tenth revision to identify Merkel Cell Carcinoma and demographic factors. There was a total of 28,809 cases of Merkel Cell Carcinoma in the United States from 2011 to 2020. Merkel Cell Carcinoma was associated with white race (11.4 per 100,000) and disposition of death (26.8 per 100,000). It was most prevalent in the highest quartile income (12.5 per 100,000) and Medicare as primary payer (13.0 per 100,000). Hospitalization was lowest in nonwhite races, particularly NH-Blacks and NH-Others. Inpatient mortality was significantly associated with NH-Others (odds ratio 2.18, 95% confidence interval = 1.38-3.45) and self-pay patients (odds ratio = 2.93, 95% confidence interval 1.84-4.67).This study contributes to reported socio-demographic factors related to Merkel Cell Carcinomas and brings awareness to factors associated with increased hospitalization and inpatient mortality."

Herein, we examined the immunogenicity of cutaneotropic HPVs that are commonly found in the skin. Using an in silico platform to determine human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-peptide complex binding affinity, we observed that early genes of cutaneotropic HPV types within the same species can generate multiple conserved, homologous peptides that bind with high affinity to HLA class I alleles. Interestingly, we discovered that commensal β, γ, μ, and ν HPVs contain significantly more immunogenic peptides compared with α-HPVs, which include high-risk, oncogenic HPV types. Our findings indicate that commensal HPV proteins have evolved to generate peptides that better complement their host's HLA repertoire. Promoting higher control by host T cell immunity in this way could be a mechanism by which HPVs achieve widespread asymptomatic colonization in humans. This work supports the role of commensal HPVs as immunogenic targets within epithelial cells, which may contribute to the immune regulation of the skin and mucosa."

However, many patients with advanced skin cancer still experience immunotherapy resistance and disease progression during ICI treatment, thus calling for novel therapeutics which address this treatment gap. Talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) has gained popularity in recent years as a viable treatment option for patients with skin cancer. In preclinical studies, T-VEC demonstrated both a direct anti-tumor effect in injected lesions as well as a systemic immune-mediated effect in non-injected lesions, which could pose additional benefits when combined with ICI therapy. Following promising results from the OPTiM trial, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the usage of T-VEC as a single agent in advanced melanoma. However, the MASTERKEY-265 trial demonstrated that adding T-VEC to pembrolizumab did not offer additional clinical benefit in patients with melanoma. Nevertheless, the promising efficacy of T-VEC and its approval by the FDA helped oncolytic viruses (OVs) gain wide attention in cancer therapy, and extensive research has been undertaken to evaluate the usage of OVs in other tumors such as sarcomas and breast cancers. Here, we provide a review of clinical results from 2022 to 2024 that investigate the efficacy and safety of OVs as a monotherapy or in combination with other therapies in skin malignancies. Furthermore, we delineate the current limitations in OV utilization and outline future directions to enhance clinical outcomes for patients with skin malignancies receiving OV-based therapies."

Employing a systematic formulation development process guided by Design of Experiments (DoE) principles, key parameters such as particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, and entrapment efficiency were optimized to ensure the stability and drug-loading efficacy of the NLCs. Combined XRD and cryo-TEM analysis were employed for NLC nanostructure evaluation, confirming the formation of well-defined nanostructures. In vitro kinetics studies demonstrated controlled and sustained docetaxel release over 48 h, emphasizing the potential for prolonged therapeutic effects. Cytotoxicity assays on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and SK-MEL-24 melanoma cell line revealed enhanced efficacy against cancer cells, with significant selective cytotoxicity and minimal impact on normal cells. This multidimensional approach, encompassing formulation optimization and comprehensive characterization, positions the docetaxel-loaded NLCs as promising candidates for advanced skin cancer therapy. The findings underscore the potential translational impact of these nanocarriers, paving the way for future preclinical investigations and clinical applications in skin cancer treatment."

In the current study, two libraries of hybrid derivatives coming from the linkage of sesquiterpene counterparts dihydroartemisinin and artesunic acid, with a series of monoterpenes, were synthesized and evaluated by cell viability assay on primary and metastatic melanoma cell lines. Almost all the obtained compounds showed micromolar antimelanoma activity and selectivity toward the metastatic form of this cancer. Four hybrid derivatives containing perillyl alcohol, citronellol, and nerol as monoterpene counterpart emerged as the best compounds of the series, with nerol being active in combination with both sesquiterpenes, dihydroartemisinin and artesunic acid. Preliminary studies on the mechanism of action have shown the dependence of the pharmacological activity of newly synthesized hybrids on the formation of carbon- and oxygen-centered radical species.

Increased exposure to sunlight over the past few years, the lack of regular and proper use of sunscreen, the aging of the population, and better screening techniques are the reasons for the escalation in their diagnosis. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) comprises nearly 37% of the tumors in this group and can originate from actinic keratosis (AK), which usually presents as pink, often scaly plaques, usually located on the face or scalp. Advances in dermatoscopy, as well as the development of other non-invasive skin imaging modalities such as high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS), reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), and optical coherence tomography (OCT), have allowed for greatly increased sensitivity in diagnosing these lesions and monitoring their treatment. Since AK therapy is usually local, and SCCs must be removed surgically, non-invasive imaging methods enable to correctly qualify difficult lesions. This is especially important given that they are very often located on the face, and achieving an appropriate cosmetic result after treatments in this area is very important for the patients. In this review, the authors describe the use of non-invasive skin imaging methods in the diagnosis of actinic keratosis."

Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in cSCC progression is crucial for developing effective treatments. The primary aim of this research was to evaluate the activation of NOTCH1 and FGFR2 oncogenes in inducing skin cancer in FVB/N mice through a stepwise chemical process. Forty female FVB/N mice, aged four weeks, were randomly divided into a control group (n = 8) and two experimental groups (group A: n = 16, group B: n = 16). This study involved subjecting the groups to a two-stage carcinogenesis procedure. This included an initial application of 97.4 nmol DMBA on shaved skin on their backs, followed by applications of 32.4 nmol TPA after thirteen weeks for group A and after twenty weeks for group B. The control group did not receive any treatment. Their skin conditions were monitored weekly to detect tumor development. After the experiment, the animals were euthanized for further tissue sampling. The examination of skin lesions in the experimental groups showed a correlation with tumor progression, ranging from dysplasia to carcinoma. Tumor samples were assessed both histologically and immunohistochemically. Notably, FGFR2 expression was higher in benign, precancerous, and malignant tumors compared to normal tissue. NOTCH1 expression was only elevated in benign tumors compared to normal tissue. This study demonstrates a clear correlation of FGFR2 expression and the progression of cutaneous neoplasms, while NOTCH 1 expression is inversely correlated in FVB/N mice. This suggests an early involvement of these oncogenes in the development of skin tumors."

Type I collagen, extracted from bovine skin using advanced fibril-forming technology, was crosslinked with glutaraldehyde to create membranes. These membranes incorporated minocycline, an antibiotic, or irinotecan, a chemotherapeutic agent, in various concentrations. The membranes, varying in drug concentration, were studied by water absorption and enzymatic degradation tests, demonstrating a degree of permeability. We emphasize the advantages of local drug delivery for treating high-grade gliomas, highlighting the targeted approach's efficacy in reducing systemic adverse effects and enhancing drug bioavailability at the tumor site. The utilization of collagen membranes is proposed as a viable method for local drug delivery. Irinotecan's mechanism, a topoisomerase I inhibitor, and minocycline's broad antibacterial spectrum and inhibition of glial cell-induced membrane degradation are discussed. We critically examine the challenges posed by the systemic administration of chemotherapeutic agents, mainly due to the blood-brain barrier's restrictive nature, advocating for local delivery methods as a more effective alternative for glioblastoma treatment. These local delivery strategies, including collagen membranes, are posited as significant advancements in enhancing therapeutic outcomes for glioblastoma patients."

Its associated high mortality rates are mostly due to its metastases, while diagnosis and treatment of MM in its early stages is of favorable prognostic. Even skin superficial MMs at incipient local stages can already present with lymph node invasion and distant metastases. Therefore, knowledge of the controllable risk factors and pathogenic mechanisms of MM development, spreading, and metastatic pattern, as well as early diagnosis, are essential to decrease the high mortality rates associated with cutaneous malignant melanoma. Genetic factors are incriminated, although lifetime-acquired genetic mutations appear to be even more frequently involved in the development of MM. Skin melanocytes divide only twice per year and have time to accumulate genetic mutations as a consequence of environmental aggressive factors, such as UV exposure. In the search for more promising therapies, matrix metalloproteinases have become of significant interest, such as MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, and MMP-13, which have been linked to more aggressive forms of cancer and earlier metastases. Therefore, the development of specific synthetic inhibitors of MMP secretion or activity could represent a more promising and effective approach to the personalized treatment of MM patients."

Measuring 30-100 nm in diameter and derived from various cell types, exosomes play a crucial role in intercellular communication by transferring proteins, lipids, and RNA between cells. This review analyzes existing literature on the clinical applications of exosomes. We conducted a comprehensive search of peer-reviewed articles and clinical trial data to evaluate the benefits, limitations, and challenges of exosome-based therapies. Key areas of focus included regenerative medicine, cancer therapy, gene therapy, and diagnostic biomarkers. This review highlights the vast clinical applications of exosomes. In regenerative medicine, exosomes facilitate tissue repair and regeneration. In cancer therapy, exosomes can deliver therapeutic agents directly to tumor cells. In gene therapy, exosomes serve as vectors for gene delivery. As diagnostic biomarkers, they are useful in diagnosing various diseases. Challenges such as the isolation, purification, and characterization of exosomes were identified. Current clinical trials demonstrate the potential of exosome-based therapies, though they also reveal significant hurdles. Regulatory issues, including the need for standardization and validation of exosome products, are critical for advancing these therapies. While significant progress has been made in understanding exosome biology, further research is essential to fully unlock their clinical potential. Addressing challenges in isolation, purification, and regulatory standardization is crucial for their successful application in clinical practice.

Normal pigmentation allows rapid changes of color for concealment to capture prey and UV light protection. In contrast, highly visible hypopigmented pseudo-albinos exhibit a compromised immune system and are vulnerable to predation, sensitive to UV exposure, and likely have poor survival in the wild. Skin and brain tissue samples from normally pigmented and hypopigmented individuals were analyzed with next-generation RNA sequencing. A total of 1,589,613 transcripts were used to identify 952,825 genes to assemble a de novo transcriptome, with 99.43% of genes mapped to the assembly. Differential gene expression and gene enrichment analysis of contrasting tissues and phenotypes revealed that pseudo-albino individuals appeared more susceptible to environmental stress, UV light exposure, hypoxia, and osmotic stress. The pseudo-albinos' restricted immune response showed upregulated genes linked to cancer development, signaling and response, skin tissue formation, regeneration, and healing. The data indicate that a modified skin collagen structure likely affects melanocyte differentiation and distribution, generating the pseudo-albino phenotype. In addition, the comparison of the brain transcriptome revealed changes in myelination and melanocyte stem cell activity, which may indicate modified brain function, reduced melanocyte migration, and impaired vision."

An aberrant TNF-α-mediated crosstalk has been linked to the pathogenesis of acute and chronic skin inflammatory diseases, and indeed, TNF-α dysregulation can contribute to the development and progression of psoriasis, vitiligo, local damage following exposition to ultraviolet light radiations, cutaneous lupus erythematosus, and acne vulgaris. Therapies that target TNF-α are conspicuously used in the treatment of different skin disorders, aiming to modulate the in vivo immune functions triggered by many cutaneous cells, including keratinocytes, mast cells, or Langerhans cells, and reduce inflammation taking place within the skin. Herein, we focus on the key relationships between TNF-α and distinct skin non-neoplastic inflammatory or physiologic conditions, showing that a natural induction of TNF-α may have a protective significance but that TNF-α overproduction may be harmful or even lethal. Many questions remain unraveled in the therapeutic practice, and caution should be exercised due to eventual backlashes exerted by TNF-α in maintaining skin health or in provoking skin disease."

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by malignant melanocytes play a vital role in developing tumor-promoting microenvironments, but it is unclear whether this is mediated through CD36. To understand the role of CD36 in melanoma, we first analyzed the SKCM dataset for clinical prognosis, evaluated the percentage of CD36 in lymphatic fluid-derived EVs (LEVs), and tested whether melanoma-derived EVs increase CD36 expression and induce M2-macrophage-like characteristics. Furthermore, we performed a multiplex immunofluorescence (MxIF) imaging analysis to evaluate the CD36 expression and its colocalization with various other cells in the lymph node (LN) of patients and control subjects. Our findings show that cutaneous melanoma patients have a worse clinical prognosis with high CD36 levels, and a higher percentage of CD36 in total LEVs were found at baseline in melanoma patients compared to control. We also found that monocytic and endothelial cells treated with melanoma EVs expressed more CD36 than untreated cells. Furthermore, melanoma-derived EVs can regulate immunosuppressive macrophage-like characteristics by upregulating CD36. The spatial imaging data show that cells in tumor-involved sentinel LNs exhibit a higher probability of CD36 expression than cells from control LNs, but this was not statistically significant. Conclusively, our findings demonstrated that CD36 plays a vital role in controlling the immunosuppressive microenvironment in the LN, which can promote the formation of a protumorigenic niche."

Its invasive nature and ability to rapidly metastasize and to develop resistance to standard treatment often result in a poor prognosis. While the highly effective standard chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (DOX) is widely used in a variety of cancers, systemic side effects still limit therapy. Especially, DOX-induced cardiotoxicity remains a big challenge. In contrast, the natural chalcone cardamonin (CD) has been shown to selectively kill tumor cells. Besides its anti-tumor activity, CD exhibits anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. In this study, we investigated the effect of the combinational treatment of DOX with CD on A375 melanoma cells compared to normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF) and rat cardiac myoblasts (H9C2 cells). DOX-induced cytotoxicity was unselective and affected all cell types, especially H9C2 cardiac myoblasts, demonstrating its cardiotoxic effect. In contrast, CD only decreased the cell viability of A375 melanoma cells, without harming normal (healthy) cells. The addition of CD selectively protected human dermal fibroblasts and rat cardiac myoblasts from DOX-induced cytotoxicity. While no apoptosis was induced by the combinational treatment in normal (healthy) cells, an apoptosis-mediated cytotoxicity was demonstrated in A375 melanoma cells.

Inflammatory symptoms associated with VEXAS syndrome are treated with several lines of therapy, eventually requiring allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). No evidence from randomized controlled trials exists on allo-HCT versus other treatments in patients not responding to front-line therapy(ies). We show results of a systematic review/meta-analysis (SR/MA) following a search using EMBASE, PUBMED/MEDLINE and Web of Science on April 5, 2024. We extracted outcomes based on benefits (overall response rate (ORR), complete remission (CR), event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS), and harms (non-relapse mortality (NRM) and acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)). The search identified 88 studies. Four studies (39 patients) met inclusion criteria. Median follow-up time after allo-HCT ranged from 8 to 18.5 months. Pooled EFS and OS rates were 56% and 86%, respectively. Pertaining to harms, pooled NRM rate was 14%. Pooled rates of acute and chronic GVHD were 42% and 13%, respectively. Allo-HCT is an effective treatment for VEXAS syndrome. We hope these results would increase awareness about this underdiagnosed and underreported disease."

Estrogens, like estradiol-17 (E2), significantly influence GBM progression, metastasis, and angiogenesis. Estrogen receptors (ERs) are crucial in signal transduction and physiology, making them potential therapeutic targets. However, their roles in GBM pathogenesis remain unclear. This review explores ERs in GBM, focusing on their involvement in tumor immune evasion, modulation of the tumor microenvironment, and the mechanisms underlying GBM progression. Additionally, therapeutic opportunities targeting ERs for GBM treatment are discussed. Estrogen, synthesized primarily in ovaries and in smaller amounts by adrenal glands and fat tissues, regulates reproductive systems, bone density, skin health, and cardiovascular function. The invasive nature and heterogeneity of GBM complicate therapy development. Preclinical findings suggest that endocrine therapy with hormone receptor agonists or antagonists can extend patient survival and improve post-treatment quality of life. The ERβ pathway, in particular, shows tumor-suppressive potential, limiting glioma progression with fewer side effects. ERβ agonists could become a novel drug class for GBM treatment. Identifying biomarkers and specific therapeutic targets is crucial for early detection and improved prognosis. Estrogen and its receptors are advantageous for GBM treatment due to their regulation of numerous biological processes, ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, and genomic and non-genomic control of transcription, making them promising targets for GBM therapy."

+3004,skin cancer,39059203,Plasma-generated RONS in liquid transferred into cryo-microneedles patch for skin treatment of melanoma.,"Malignant melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer. As a promising anti-cancer agent, plasma-activated water (PAW) rich in reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) has shown significant potential for melanoma treatment. However, rapid decay of RONS and inefficient delivery of PAW in conventional injection methods limit its practical applications. To address this issue, here we report a new approach for the production of plasma-activated cryo-microneedles (PA-CMNs) patches using custom-designed plasma devices and processes. Our innovation is to incorporate PAW into the PA-CMNs that are fabricated using a fast cryogenic micro-molding method. It is demonstrated that PA-CMNs can be easily inserted into skin to release RONS and slow the decay of RONS thereby prolonging their bioactivity and effectiveness. The new insights into the effective melanoma treatment suggest that the rich mixture of RONS within PA-CMNs prepared by custom-developed hybrid plasma-assisted configuration induces both ferroptosis and apoptosis to selectively kill tumor cells. A significant inhibition of subcutaneous A375 melanoma growth was observed in PA-CMNs-treated tumor-bearing nude mice without any signs of systemic toxicity. The new approach based on PA-CMNs may potentially open new avenues for a broader range of disease treatments."

To identify predictive biomarkers, we integrated bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) with spatial transcriptomics from a cohort of 186 samples from 116 patients, including bulk RNA-seq from 14 matched pairs pre- and post-ICB. In nonresponders, tumors show evidence of increased tumor proliferation, neuronal stem cell markers, and IL1. Responders have increased type I/II interferons and preexisting tissue resident (Trm) CD8 or Vδ1 γδ T cells that functionally converge with overlapping antigen-specific transcriptional programs and clonal expansion of public T-cell receptors. Spatial transcriptomics demonstrated colocalization of T cells with B and dendritic cells, which supply chemokines and costimulation. Lastly, ICB significantly increased clonal expansion or recruitment of Trm and Vδ1 cells in tumors specifically in responders, underscoring their therapeutic importance. These data identify potential clinically actionable biomarkers and therapeutic targets for MCC. Significance: MCC serves as a model of ICB response. We utilized the largest-to-date, multimodal MCC dataset (n = 116 patients) to uncover unique tumor-intrinsic properties and immune circuits that predict response. We identified CD8 Trm and Vδ1 T cells as clinically actionable mediators of ICB response in major histocompatibility complex-high and -low MCCs, respectively."

In this report, we describe a 10 year-old female intact Yorkshire terrier that presented progressive weight loss and chronic pain of unknown origin. Due to the poor condition of the dog, it was subsequently euthanized. Post-mortem evaluation revealed a single large mass in the left caudal lung lobe, with numerous pale, proliferative lesions of various sizes dispersed throughout all the lobes. Additionally, a solitary skin mass was palpated on the mid-thoracic body wall. Histopathological examination of the lung samples revealed multiple distinct, non-encapsulated, expansive neoplastic epithelial cell proliferations with dense cellularity, exhibiting growth patterns, ranging from papillary to micropapillary to solid, accompanied by central areas of necrosis. In some areas, microvilli-like structures were observed on the luminal cytoplasmic margins of the neoplastic cells. The histopathology of the skin mass closely resembled that of the lung. Electron microscopy of the skin samples revealed regions containing cells resembling the respiratory epithelium, along with cells exhibiting processes or microvilli indicative of cilia.

Therefore, the development of relevant preclinical in vivo models that accurately recapitulate the metastatic cascade is crucial. We exploited the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) xenograft model to quantify both experimental and spontaneous metastasis by qPCR analysis. Our study found that the transplanted UM cells spread predominantly and early in the liver, reflecting the primary site of metastasis in patients. Visible signs of pigmented metastasis were observed in the eyes, liver, and distal CAM. Lung metastases occurred rarely and brain metastases progressed more slowly. However, UM cell types of different origins and genetic profiles caused an individual spectrum of organ metastases. Metastasis to multiple organs, including the liver, was often associated with risk factors such as high proliferation rate, hyperpigmentation, and epithelioid cell type. The severity of liver metastasis was related to the hepatic metastatic origin and chromosome 8 abnormalities rather than monosomy 3 and BAP1 deficiency. The presented CAM xenograft model may prove useful to study the metastatic potential of patients or to test individualized therapeutic options for metastasis in different organs."

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation and sunburns are important drivers for the incidence of certain cutaneous sarcomas; however, the pathogenetic role of UV light is less clear in rare skin cancers compared to keratinocyte cancer and melanoma. In this study, we compared the degree of actinic elastosis (AE) as a surrogate for lifetime UV exposure among selected rare skin cancers (atypical fibroxanthoma [AFX], pleomorphic dermal sarcoma [PDS], dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans [DFSP], Kaposi sarcoma [KS], Merkel cell carcinoma [MCC], and leiomyosarcoma [LMS]) while taking into account relevant clinical variables (age, sex, and body site).

In this context, the multiplexed diagnosis of sensitization to various allergens and the monitoring of the effectiveness of treatments for allergic diseases become particularly urgent issues. The detection of allergen-specific antibodies, in particular, sIgE and sIgG, is a modern alternative to skin tests due to the safety and efficiency of this method. The use of allergen microarrays to detect tens to hundreds of allergen-specific antibodies in less than 0.1 mL of blood serum enables the transition to a deeply personalized approach in the diagnosis of these diseases while reducing the invasiveness and increasing the informativeness of analysis. This review discusses the technological approaches underlying the development of allergen microarrays and other protein microarrays, including the methods of selection of the microarray substrates and matrices for protein molecule immobilization, the obtainment of allergens, and the use of different types of optical labels for increasing the sensitivity and specificity of the detection of allergen-specific antibodies."

They enhance the efficacy of immunogenic anticancer therapies such as radiotherapy by activating both innate and adaptive immune cells. Macrophages are one of the most abundant innate immune cells in the immune microenvironment of melanoma brain metastases (MBM) and can exert potent immune-suppressive functions. Here, we investigate the potential of tumoral type I IFNs to repolarize tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) in two murine MBM models and assess the effects of radiotherapy-induced type I IFN on TAMs in a transcriptomic MBM patient dataset. In mice, we describe a proinflammatory M1-like TAM phenotype induced by tumoral IFNβ and identify a myeloid type I IFN-response signature associated with a high M1/M2-like TAM ratio. Following irradiation, patients with MBM displaying a myeloid type I IFN-response signature showed increased overall survival, providing evidence that tumoral IFNβ supports an effective antitumor immune response by re-educating immune-regulatory TAM. These findings uncover type I IFN-inducing therapies as a potential macrophage-targeting therapeutic approach and provide a rationale for combining radiotherapy with concomitant immunotherapy to improve treatment response in patients with MBM."

The pathogenesis of melanoma at different sites is very similar, however, the prognosis for patients with ocular melanoma remains unfavourable, primarily due to its distinctive genetic profile and tumor microenvironment. Regardless of considerable advances in understanding the genetic characteristics and biological behaviour, the treatment of uveal and conjunctival melanoma remains a formidable challenge. To enhance the prospect of success, collaborative efforts involving medical professionals and researchers in the fields of ocular biology and oncology are essential. Current data show a lack of well-designed randomized clinical trials and limited benefits in current forms of treatment for these tumors. Despite advancements in the development of effective melanoma therapeutic strategies, all current treatments for uveal melanoma (UM) and conjunctival melanoma (CoM) remain unsatisfactory, resulting in a poor long-term prognosis. Ongoing trials offer hope for positive outcomes in advanced and metastatic tumors. A more comprehensive understanding of the genetic and molecular abnormalities involved in the development and progression of ocular melanomas opens the way for the development of personalized therapy, with various potential therapeutic targets currently under consideration.

However, the level of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the same community's water supply was unknown. A comprehensive study of PAHs in three household dug wells and three boreholes was conducted using Agilent 7890B gas chromatography and 5975A mass spectrometry. The detected PAHs were mainly 4 - 5 ringed PAHs, such as Chrysene, Fluoranthene, Pyrene, Benzo[a]anthracene, and Benzo[b]fluoranthene. The total mean concentration was 5.8 ± 2.3 μg/L, with values ranging from not detected in borehole 3 to 8.0 μg/L at well 2. Source identification analysis suggested that the PAHs originated from fuel and biomass combustion. The incremental lifetime cancer risk for children and adults due to groundwater ingestion and skin contact ranged from ND to 7.448 × 10-3 and ND to 1.83 × 10-3 respectively. The Risk index (RI) values from ingestion and dermal routes were 1.5 ×10-2 and 2.4 × 10-2, indicating high risk of cancer.

In this study, we utilized single-cell data from 92,521 cells to explore the tumour cell landscape. Through clustering analysis, we identified six distinct cell clusters and investigated their differentiation and metabolic heterogeneity using multi-omics approaches. Notably, cytotrace analysis and pseudotime trajectories revealed distinct stages of tumour cell differentiation, which have implications for patient survival. By leveraging markers from these clusters, we developed a tumour cell-specific machine learning model (TCM). This model not only predicts patient outcomes and responses to immunotherapy, but also distinguishes between genomically stable and unstable tumours and identifies inflamed ('hot') versus non-inflamed ('cold') tumours. Intriguingly, the TCM score showed a strong association with TOMM40, which we experimentally validated as an oncogene promoting tumour proliferation, invasion and migration. Overall, our findings introduce a novel biomarker score that aids in selecting melanoma patients for improved prognoses and targeted immunotherapy, thereby guiding clinical treatment decisions."

Actively transcribed, non-coding parts of the genome provide a potential platform for the development of new functional sequences, but their biological and evolutionary roles remain largely unexplored. Here, we show that a set of neutrally evolving long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) whose introns encode small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNA Host Genes, SNHGs) are highly expressed in skin and dysregulated in inflammatory conditions. Using SNHG7 and human epidermal keratinocytes as a model, we describe a mechanism by which these lncRNAs can increase self-renewal and inhibit differentiation. The activity of SNHG7 lncRNA has been recently acquired in the primate lineage and depends on a short sequence required for microRNA binding. Taken together, our results highlight the importance of understanding the role of fast-evolving transcripts in normal and diseased epithelia, and show how poorly conserved, actively transcribed non-coding sequences can participate in the evolution of genomic functionality."

Although anti-programmed cell death (ligand) 1 (PD-(L)1) agents are now the first-line treatment for advanced MCC, approximately 50% of such patients do not persistently benefit. In PD-(L)1-refractory cases, ipilimumab (anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4) is often added; however, the extent of the clinical benefit of this combination is controversial. We identified one prospective study, three retrospective studies, and three case reports regarding this combination in refractory MCC. The aggregate response rate from retrospective studies was 32% (13 of 41 patients) with 4 complete responses (CR) and 9 partial responses (PR). In the prospective study, the response rate was very similar at 31% (8 of 26 patients; 4 CR, 4 PR). Response durability was highly variable (range 2 to >43 months), with patients achieving CR having greater durability. Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) were ≥grade III in 29% (retrospective cohort, N=41) and 36% (prospective cohort, N=50). While these aggregate data indicate adding ipilimumab should be considered in this setting, many patients with refractory MCC are ineligible due to comorbidities/irAEs, and approximately 70% will not benefit from this regimen. There is thus a significant unmet need in PD-(L)1-refractory MCC and clinical trials in this setting should be encouraged."

However, studies focused on further investigating its molecular biology, mainly biomarkers to help implementing new therapies, remain scare in the literature. Thus, immunostaining and the gene expression of epidermal growth factor receptors (HER1 and HER2) in canine cSCC presenting different cell differentiation degrees were herein assessed. Thirty-two (32) canine cSCC were selected, classified based on to their cell differentiation degree and subjected to immunohistochemical study to assess HER1 and HER2 immunostaining intensity and distribution. In addition, HER1 and HER2 gene expression was investigated through real-time PCR. Membranous and cytoplasmic immunostaining were observed in both markers. HER2 prevailed in poorly differentiated cSCC; there was positive protein expression correlation between both markers. Mean HER1 gene expression was higher in moderately differentiated, whereas mean HER2 gene expression was higher in poorly differentiated cSCC. Moreover, there was gene expression correlation between markers, regardless of cell differentiation degree. Thus, HER2 protein immunostaining and gene expression were higher in poorly differentiated canine cSCC and it enabled understanding that increase observed in this epidermal growth factor receptor is proportional to this neoplasm's cell differentiation degree in canine species. Results in the current study helped better understanding canine cSCC's molecular biology; however, it is relevant studying other markers aiming to investigate signaling pathways."

It was conducted with Spanish-speaking families and delivered, virtually, in pediatric primary care in a large healthcare system in the U.S. Through qualitative interviews with pediatricians (n =7)  and parents (n = 26), we explored potential barriers and facilitators of GBD enrollment and engagement. Parents and pediatricians alike noted the dearth of universal prevention programming in Spanish and that GBD could help address the need for linguistically appropriate programming. Parents liked the curriculum content, materials and videos; they felt the focus on strengthening family bonds, setting clear expectations and guidelines, the use of family meetings, and the positive tools provided for navigating family conflict were well-aligned with their cultural and family values. Feedback from parents was helpful for informing more personalized and attentive approaches to program outreach and recruitment methods, and for adaptation of recruitment fliers and letters.

Despite advancements in treatment, the variability in patient responses underscores the need for further research into novel therapeutic targets, including the role of programmed cell death pathways such as necroptosis. The melanoma datasets used for analysis, GSE215120, GSE19234, GSE22153 and GSE65904, were downloaded from the GEO database. The melanoma data from TCGA were downloaded from the UCSC website. Using single-cell sequencing, we assess the heterogeneity of necroptosis in cutaneous melanoma, identifying distinct cell clusters and necroptosis-related gene expression patterns. A combination of 101 machine learning algorithms was employed to construct a necroptosis-related signature (NRS) based on key genes associated with necroptosis. The prognostic value of NRS was evaluated in four cohorts (one TCGA and three GEO cohorts), and the tumour microenvironment (TME) was analysed to understand the relationship between necroptosis, tumour mutation burden (TMB) and immune infiltration. Finally, we focused on the role of key target TSPAN10 in the prognosis, pathogenesis, immunotherapy relevance and drug sensitivity of cutaneous melanoma. Our study revealed significant heterogeneity in necroptosis among melanoma cells, with a higher prevalence in epithelial cells, myeloid cells and fibroblasts. The NRS, developed through rigorous machine learning techniques, demonstrated robust prognostic capabilities, distinguishing high-risk patients with poorer outcomes in all cohorts. Analysis of the TME showed that high NRS scores correlated with lower TMB and reduced immune cell infiltration, indicating a potential mechanism through which necroptosis influences melanoma progression. Finally, TSPAN10 has been identified as a key target for cutaneous melanoma and is highly associated with poor prognosis. The findings highlight the complex role of necroptosis in cutaneous melanoma and introduce the NRS as a novel prognostic tool with potential to guide therapeutic decisions."

Other locations: parapharyngeal space, parotid gland, nasal septum, bridge of the nose, soft and hard palate, mandibular mucosa, tongue, auricle, palatine tonsil, and cheek. All those patients underwent chemoradiation as postoperative treatment. Radical surgical procedure was achieved in 32 patients (82%). However, in 11 patients (28%), microscopic examination did not confirm radical resection (R1 - PSM - positive surgical margin). In 7 patients (18%), the surgical procedure turned out to be not radical on macroscopic examination (R2). Dissemination of neoplasms (distant metastases) was found in 7 patients (18%). Five-year survival time without local recurrence was achieved in 25 patients (64%). The most frequent reason for unsuccessful interventions was local recurrence noted in 18 patients (46%), while distant metastases occurred in 9 patients (23%).&lt;b&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/b&gt; The basic procedure in the treatment of STS is radical surgery combined with preoperative or postoperative radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy and, in case of a metastasis, surgical removal thereof.

UV radiation exposure is the main cause of skin cancer. Immunosuppression, environmental factors, and genetic predisposition are other contributing variables. Fair-skinned people and those with a history of sunburns or severe sun exposure are more likely to experience this condition. Melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) are the three main forms. Melanoma poses a bigger hazard because of its tendency for metastasis, while SCC and BCC have limited metastatic potential. Genetic mutations and changes to signalling pathways such as p53 and MAPK are involved in pathogenesis. Early diagnosis is essential, and molecular testing, biopsy, dermoscopy, and visual inspection can all help. In addition to natural medicines like curcumin and green tea polyphenols, treatment options include immunotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy. Reducing the incidence of skin cancer requires preventive actions, including sun protection and early detection programs.

Despite its occurrence in various organs, a cCS is exceptionally rare in the skin, predominantly affecting older males. The etiology of a cCS is unclear, but it may originate from a single progenitor cell capable of dual differentiation or from a collision of carcinoma and sarcoma cells. Clinically, a cCS presents as a rapidly growing, painful, ulcerated nodule or plaque on sun-exposed skin, with a high risk of local invasion and metastasis. Histopathologically, a cCS includes various epithelial components, such as squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma, along with undifferentiated sarcomatous components resembling atypical fibroxanthoma.

MCPyV-negative cases often present as combined MCCs, which represent a distinctive subset of tumors characterized by association of an MCC with a second tumor component, mostly squamous cell carcinoma. Up to now, only exceptional cases of combined MCC with neuroblastic differentiation have been reported. Herein we describe two additional combined MCCs with neuroblastic differentiation and provide comprehensive morphologic, immunohistochemical, transcriptomic, genetic and epigenetic characterization of these tumors, which both arose in elderly men and appeared as an isolated inguinal adenopathy. Microscopic examination revealed biphasic tumors combining a poorly differentiated high-grade carcinoma with a poorly differentiated neuroblastic component lacking signs of proliferation. Immunohistochemical investigation revealed keratin 20 and MCPyV T antigen (TA) in the MCC parts, while neuroblastic differentiation was confirmed in the other component in both cases. A clonal relation of the two components can be deduced from 20 and 14 shared acquired point mutations detected by whole exome analysis in both combined tumors, respectively. Spatial transcriptomics demonstrated a lower expression of stem cell marker genes such as SOX2 and MCM2 in the neuroblastic component. Interestingly, although the neuroblastic part lacked TA expression, the same genomic MCPyV integration and the same large T-truncating mutations were observed in both tumor parts. Given that neuronal transdifferentiation upon TA repression has been reported for MCC cell lines, the most likely scenario for the two combined MCC/neuroblastic tumors is that neuroblastic transdifferentiation resulted from loss of TA expression in a subset of MCC cells. Indeed, DNA methylation profiling suggests an MCC-typical cellular origin for the combined MCC/neuroblastomas. © 2024 The Author(s).

Thus, FGF7 is widely expressed in diverse tissues, especially in urinary system, gastrointestinal tract (GI-tract), respiratory system, skin, and reproductive system. By interacting specifically with FGFR2-IIIb, FGF7 activates several downstream signal pathways, including Ras, PI3K-Akt, and PLCs. Previous studies of FGF7 mutants also have implicated its roles in various biological processes including development of essential organs and tissue homeostasis in adults. Moreover, more publications have reported that FGF7 and/or FGF7/FGFR2-IIIb-associated signaling pathway are involved in the progression of various heritable or acquired human diseases: heritable conditions like autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and non-syndromic cleft lip and palate (NS CLP), where it promotes cyst formation and affects craniofacial development, respectively; acquired non-malignant diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), mucositis, osteoarticular disorders, and metabolic diseases, where it influences inflammation, repair, and metabolic control; and tumorigenesis and malignant diseases, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate cancer, gastric cancer, and ovarian cancer, where it enhances cell proliferation, invasion, and chemotherapy resistance. Targeting FGF7 pathways holds therapeutic potential for managing these conditions, underscoring the need for further research to explore its clinical applications.

+3086,skin cancer,39048112,Relative Biological Effectiveness of Carbon Ion Beams for Induction of Medulloblastoma with Radiation-specific Chromosome 13 Deletion in Ptch1+/- Mice.,"Carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) for pediatric cancer is currently limited because of the unknown risk of induction of secondary cancers. Medulloblastoma of Ptch1+/- mice offers a unique experimental system for radiation-induced carcinogenesis, in which tumors are classified into spontaneous and radiation-induced subtypes based on their features of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) that affect the wild-type Ptch1 allele. The present study aims to investigate in young Ptch1+/- mice the carcinogenic effect, and its age dependence, of the low-linear energy transfer (LET, ∼13 keV/µm) carbon ions, to which normal tissues in front of the tumor are exposed during therapy. We irradiated Ptch1+/- mice at postnatal day (P) 1, 4, or 10 with 290 MeV/u carbon ions (0.05-0.5 Gy; LET, 13 keV/µm) and monitored them for medulloblastoma development. Loss of heterozygosity of seven genetic markers on chromosome 13 (where Ptch1 resides) was studied to classify the tumors. Carbon ion exposure induced medulloblastoma most effectively at P1. The LOH patterns of tumors were either telomeric or interstitial, the latter occurring almost exclusively in the irradiated groups, allowing the use of interstitial LOH as a biomarker of radiation-induced tumors. Radiation-induced tumors developed during a narrow age window (most strongly at P1 and only moderately at P4, with suppressed tumorigenesis at P10). Calculated using previous results using 137Cs gamma rays, the values for relative biological effectiveness (RBE) regarding radiation-induced tumors were 4.1 (3.4, 4.8) and 4.3 (3.3, 5.2) (mean and 95% confidence interval) for exposure at P1 and 4, respectively. Thus, the RBE of carbon ions for medulloblastoma induction in Ptch1+/- mice was higher than the generally recognized RBE of 1-2 for cell killing, chromosome aberrations, and skin reactions."
+3087,skin cancer,39048045,The Megacomplex protects ER-alpha from degradation by Fulvestrant in epithelial ovarian cancer.,"Ovarian cancer, a significant contributor to cancer-related mortality, exhibits limited responsiveness to hormonal therapies targeting the estrogen receptor (ERα). This study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms behind ERα resistance to the therapeutic drug Fulvestrant (ICI182780 or ICI). Notably, compared to the cytoplasmic version, nuclear ERα was minimally degraded by ICI, suggesting a mechanism for drug resistance via the protective confines of the nuclear substructures. Of these substructures, we identified a 1.3MDa Megacomplex comprising transcription factors ERα, FOXA1, and PITX1 using size exclusion chromatography (SEC) in the ovarian cancer cell line, PEO4. ChIP-seq revealed these factors colocalized at 6,775 genomic positions representing sites of Megacomplex formation. Megacomplex ERα exhibited increased resistance to degradation by ICI compared to cytoplasmic and nuclear ERα. A small molecule inhibitor of active chromatin and super-enhancers, JQ1, in combination with ICI significantly enhanced ERα degradation from Megacomplex as revealed by SEC and ChIP-seq. Interestingly, this combination degraded both the cytoplasmic as well as nuclear ERa. Pathway enrichment analysis showed parallel results for RNA-seq gene sets following Estradiol, ICI, or ICI plus JQ1 treatments as those defined by Megacomplex binding identified through ChIP-seq. Furthermore, similar pathway enrichments were confirmed in mass-spec analysis of the Megacomplex macromolecule fractions after modulation by Estradiol or ICI. These findings implicate Megacomplex in ERα-driven ovarian cancer chromatin regulation. This combined treatment strategy exhibited superior inhibition of cell proliferation and viability. Therefore, by uncovering ERα's resistance within the Megacomplex, the combined ICI plus JQ1 treatment elucidates a novel drug treatment vulnerability."

These adverse effects resemble those seen in xeroderma pigmentosum, caused by defective DNA nucleotide excision repair (NER), and we show that VOR decreases NER capacity. We show that VOR treatment does not perturb the expression of NER, or other DNA damage-related genes, but that VOR localizes to heterochromatin, in complexes containing histone acetyltransferase general control of amino-acid synthesis 5-like 2. Impairment of general control of amino-acid synthesis 5-like 2 binding to histone H3 reduced acetylation of H3, restricting damage-dependent chromatin unfolding, thereby reducing NER initiation. Restoration of H3 histone acetylation using histone deacetylase inhibitors, rescued VOR-induced NER repression, thus offering a preventive therapeutic option. These findings underline the importance of DNA damage-dependent chromatin remodeling as an important prerequisite of functional DNA repair."

Skin tissue data from psoriasis (GSE117239) and intestinal tissue data from colon cancer (GSE44076) were downloaded from the GEO database. One thousand two hundred ninety-six common differentially expressed genes and 688 common shared genes for psoriasis and colon cancer were determined, respectively, using the limma R package and weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) methods. The results of the GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were mainly related to the biological processes of the cell cycle. Thirteen hub genes were selected, including AURKA, DLGAP5, NCAPG, CCNB1, NDC80, BUB1B, TTK, CCNB2, AURKB, TOP2A, ASPM, BUB1, and KIF20A. These hub genes have high diagnostic value, and most of them are positively correlated with activated CD4 T cells. Three hub transcription factors (TFs) were also predicted: E2F1, E2F3, and BRCA1. These hub genes and hub TFs are highly expressed in various cancers. Furthermore, 251 drugs were predicted, and some of them overlap with existing therapeutic drugs for psoriasis or colon cancer.

According to our knowledge, no new studies on cancer have taken place in Dir since 2004. Hence, we aimed to provide and analyze the cancer trends in district Dir, Malakand division, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), regarding its prevalence and incidence, and compare it nationally and internationally. Methods A retrospective study was conducted by collecting data from 2647 clinically diagnosed cancer patients of all ages in district Dir, between the years 2008 and 2017, from the Institute of Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine (IRNUM), Peshawar. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 20 and presented using different tables and figures. Results Out of the total patients, 52.7% were male and 47.3% were female. The most common types of cancers in both genders combined were breast (9.0%), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) (6.0%), skin (5.7%), non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) (5.6%), and brain tumor (5.2%). The age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) in males in 2017 was peaking in the age group 60-69 (2707.2) with the most prevalent cancer being NHL (7.7%). In females, ASIR was highest in the age group 30-39 (2500.8) with the majority having breast cancer (18.1%), and in children, ALL (30.9%) was most prevalent. Incidence was highest in 2014 with a staggering 15 cases/100,000 population. Cancer prevalence in females aged 50 and below was significantly higher (p<0.001) compared to males. Conclusion Our study highlights that cancer profiles in Dir in the past two decades have changed with certain results non-conforming to global and regional trends. A follow-up research should be carried out to further ascertain and analyze these diverging results in hopes of drawing a more concrete conclusion from these findings."

Local transdermal administration represents the most attractive method due to the low systemic side effects, excellent ease of administration, and persistent drug release. The tympanic membrane (TM), a major barrier between the outer and middle ear, has a similar structure of the stratum corneum compared to the surface of the skin. After several attempts, non-invasive trans-tympanic drug delivery has been regarded as a promising option in the treatment of middle and inner ear diseases. The round window membrane (RWM) was a possible non-invasive delivery approach from the middle to inner ear. The improved permeability of nanocarriers crossing the RWM is a current hotspot in therapeutics for inner ear diseases. In this review, we include the latest studies exploring non-invasive trans-tympanic delivery to treat middle and inner ear diseases. Both passive and active delivery systems are described.

Recently, based on molecular research, the definition of onychodermis containing onychofibroblasts has been expanded to encompass the area located between the nail matrix and bed epithelium and periosteum. Single-cell RNA sequencing and in situ hybridization demonstrated that onychofibroblasts within the onychodermis express the genes including RSPO4, MSX1, WIF-1, and BMP5, which are implicated in nail formation and/or in disorders with nail phenotype. A mutation in RSPO4, a component of the Wnt signaling pathway, causes anonychia congenita. Nail matrix onychodermis and nail bed onychodermis share many similar characteristics which differ from the surrounding normal dermis of the skin. Comparative spatial transcriptomic and single-cell analyses of human nail units and hair follicles suggest that onychodermis is the counterpart of follicular dermal papilla, which plays a key role in hair follicle growth and morphogenesis. Onychomatricoma, as a nail-specific tumor, has been demonstrated to be a mesenchymal tumor that originates from onychofibroblasts and is associated with the upregulation of Wnt signaling. Collectively, the onychodermis and onychofibroblasts play crucial roles in nail development and these specialized nail mesenchymal elements are key components in the pathogenesis of onychomatricoma.

Basal cell carcinoma, melanoma, and squamous cell carcinoma are three kinds of cutaneous carcinomas depending upon occurrence and severity. The invasive nature of skin cancer, the limited effectiveness of current therapy techniques, and constraints to efficient systems for drug delivery are difficulties linked with the treatment of skin carcinoma. In the present era, the delivery of drugs has found a new and exciting horizon in the realm of nanotechnology, which presents inventive solutions to the problems posed by traditional therapeutic procedures for skin cancer management. Lipid-based nanocarriers like solid lipid nanoparticles and nanostructured lipid carriers have attracted a substantial focus in recent years owing to their capability to improve the drug's site-specific delivery, enhancing systemic availability, and thus its effectiveness. Due to their distinct structural and functional characteristics, these nanocarriers can deliver a range of medications, such as peptides, nucleic acids, and chemotherapeutics, via different biological barriers, such as the skin. In this review, an effort was made to present the mechanism of lipid nanocarrier permeation via cancerous skin.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the most common metastatic skin cancer with increasing incidence worldwide. The prognosis of the metastatic cSCC is poor, and currently there are no established biomarkers to predict metastasis risk or specific therapeutic targets for advanced or metastatic cSCC. To elucidate the role of lncRNAs in cSCC, RNA sequencing of patient derived cSCC cell lines and normal human epidermal keratinocytes was performed. The correlation analysis of differentially expressed lncRNAs and protein-coding genes revealed six distinct gene clusters with one of the upregulated clusters featuring genes associated with cell motility. Upregulation of the expression of lncRNAs linked to cSCC cell motility in cSCC and head and neck SCC (HNSCC) cells was confirmed using qRT-PCR. Elevated expression of HOTTIP and LINC00543 was also noted in SCC tumors in vivo and was associated with poorer prognosis in HNSCC and lung SCC cohorts within TCGA data, respectively.

As patients are living longer and have multiple treatment options for their relapsed or refractory diseases, it is important that palliative treatments avoid precluding patients from or delaying next-line potentially curative treatments wherever possible. We highlight the following experiences from our clinical practice: newly diagnosed plasma cell disease causing cord compression; life threatening cutaneous lymphoma with tumors covering the majority of the body surface area; and relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) requiring bridging radiation to a mass impinging on the brachial plexus combined with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy. In each case, urgent palliative radiation was utilized, but the approaches were nuanced, with careful consideration of subsequent potential therapies and how the current course of radiation should be tailored for the best interplay with the overall treatment course and trajectory of the disease. With the rapid development of new therapies, it can be difficult to stay up to date on the most recent practice guidelines.

Since the last 10 years, the incidence has been increased from 7.2% to 10.3% and the mortality rate was decreased from 11% to 3.8%. Nevertheless, the rate of diagnoses has been expected to be around 2.6% in the near future, still there is a great lack in studies to characterize the MBC including the developed countries. Based on our search, it is evidenced from the literature that the number of risk factors for the cause of MBC are significant, which includes the increase in age, family genetic history, mutations in specific genes due to various environmental impacts, hormonal imbalance and unregulated expression receptors for specific hormones of high levels of estrogen or androgen receptors compared to females. MBCs are broadly classified into ductal and lobular carcinomas with further sub-types, with some of the symptoms including a lump or swelling in the breast, redness of flaky skin in the breast, irritation and nipple discharge that is similar to the female breast cancer (FBC). The most common diagnostic tools currently in use are the ultrasound guided sonography, mammography, and biopsies. Treatment modalities for MBC include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and targeted therapies.

+3120,skin cancer,39042609,Ascorbic acid as serine protease inhibitor in lung cancer cell line and human serum albumin.,"Serine proteases (SPs) are distributed among all living cells accounting for almost one-third of all proteases. Dysregulation of SPs during inflammation and/or infection can result in devastating consequences, such as skin and lung inflammation, neuroinflammation, arthritis, as well as metastasis of cancerous cells. Such activities are tightly regulated by various inhibitors known as serine protease inhibitors (SERPIN). The thermodynamic investigations previously revealed that L-ascorbic acid binds to trypsin more firmly than pepsin and the binding force of L-ascorbic acid is driven by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. However, the physiochemical effects of such interaction on trypsin and/or pepsin have not yet been reported. Ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, is one of the essential nutrients and most common food supplements, fortificants, and preservatives. The aim of this study was to explore the inhibitory effects of ascorbic acid on serine proteases at various concentrations on the in-vitro digestion and/or hydrolysis of intercellular matrix of cell monolayer and human serum albumin (HSA). The inhibitory effects of ascorbic on trypsin are investigated by qualitative and quantitative analysis using SDS-PAGE imaging and NIH densitometric software. Upon the addition of ascorbic acid in both indicator systems, the detachment and/or dissociation of cell monolayer and the digestion of HSA were inhibited in the presence of EDTA-Trypsin. The inhibitory effect of ascorbic acid on the digestion of intercellular matrix and/or hydrolysis of HSA showed a dose-dependent trend until it reached the maximum extent of inhibition. At an equal concentration (2.5mg/mL) ascorbic acid and EDTA-Trypsin exhibited the most potent inhibitory effect on the in vitro digestion of protein either in the form of intercellular matrix in cell monolayer and/or HSA respectively. Overall, our results based on two indicator systems strongly indicate that ascorbic acid may function as a serine protease inhibitor (SERPIN) beyond other important functions."

The origin, phenotype, and function of pathogenic T cells across the spectrum of severity require investigation. We leveraged recent technical advancements to study skin-resident memory T cells (TRMs) versus recruited T cell subsets in the pathogenesis of severe systemic forms of disease, Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), and skin-limited disease, morbilliform drug eruption (MDE). Microscopy, bulk transcriptional profiling, and single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq) plus cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by sequencing (CITE-Seq) plus T cell receptor sequencing (TCR-Seq) supported clonal expansion and recruitment of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells from circulation into skin along with expanded and nonexpanded cytotoxic CD8+ skin TRM in SJS/TEN. Comparatively, MDE displayed a cytotoxic T cell profile in skin without appreciable expansion and recruitment of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells from circulation, implicating TRMs as potential protagonists in skin-limited disease. Mechanistic interrogation in patients unable to recruit T cells from circulation into skin and in a parallel mouse model supported that skin TRMs were sufficient to mediate MDE. Concomitantly, SJS/TEN displayed a reduced Treg signature compared with MDE. DRESS demonstrated recruitment of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells into skin as in SJS/TEN, yet a pro-Treg signature as in MDE. These findings have important implications for fundamental skin immunology and clinical care."

Clinical adjuvant therapy (electro-chemotherapy, radio- and immuno therapy), surgical techniques (Cryosurgery, laser treatment, dermabrasion, Moh's micrographic surgery), photodynamic treatment and theranostic approaches are confined only for the treatment of serious health issues. Therefore, nanotechnology based approaches, especially nanoemulsion, a non-spontaneous, transparent or translucent, kinetically stable nanostructured (1-1000nm) colloidal dispersion (comprised of oil, water and surfactant/cosurfactant), are being popularised as a potential topical nanocarrier to deliver BCS class II and IV anti-neoplastic drugs attributing to its capacity for both active and passive tumor targeting in controlled or sustained manner and improving bioavailability via enhancing permeabilityretention effect with minimal adverse effects.

+3136,skin cancer,39041142,"Targeting anticancer immunity in melanoma tumour microenvironment: unleashing the potential of adjuvants, drugs, and phytochemicals.","Melanoma poses a challenge in oncology because of its aggressive nature and limited treatment modalities. The tumour microenvironment (TME) in melanoma contains unique properties such as an immunosuppressive and high-density environment, unusual vasculature, and a high number of stromal and immunosuppressive cells. In recent years, numerous experiments have focused on boosting the immune system to effectively remove malignant cells. Adjuvants, consisting of phytochemicals, toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists, and cytokines, have shown encouraging results in triggering antitumor immunity and augmenting the therapeutic effectiveness of anticancer therapy. These adjuvants can stimulate the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) and infiltration of cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes (CTLs). Furthermore, nanocarriers can help to deliver immunomodulators and antigens directly to the tumour stroma, thereby improving their efficacy against malignant cells. The remodelling of melanoma TME utilising phytochemicals, agonists, and other adjuvants can be combined with current modalities for improving therapy outcomes. This review article explores the potential of adjuvants, drugs, and their nanoformulations in enhancing the anticancer potency of macrophages, CTLs, and natural killer (NK) cells. Additionally, the capacity of these agents to repress the function of immunosuppressive components of melanoma TME, such as immunosuppressive subsets of macrophages, stromal and myeloid cells will be discussed."

A randomized controlled study was performed to compare the wound healing effects and complications of Xkin closure with stapler closure. Fifty patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer were randomly assigned. Only the wound above the navel, which was extended to take out the prostate was targeted. The wound was examined at 2, 6 and 12 weeks after surgery, and the modified Vancouver Scar Scale (mVSS), scar height and side effects were assessed with a 3D skin analyser. Forty-six patients (23 Xkin, 23 Stapler) were analysed. The mVSS scores, vascularity and pliability were significantly lower in the Xkin group compared with the stapler group at the 12-week follow-up. No significant differences in the maximum peak and depth of the scars were detected between the two groups using 3D photographs at 12 weeks. Xkin is an effective wound closure method for improving scar outcomes. This method is expected to be widely used for surgical wounds and lacerations caused by trauma in daily life."

BCC is an uncommon neoplasm in this population, but when it does occur, pigmentation is present in more than 50% of tumors compared with only 5% to 6% of BCCs in Caucasians. This report presents two cases of histologically verified pBCC in African American patients from dermatology clinics at the Veterans Affairs Hospital located in the Texas Medical Center. With the population of the United States growing more diverse, these cases emphasize the importance of recognizing the nuanced morphology of BCC in the skin of color compared to lighter-skinned counterparts. This is especially necessary, as early detection and prompt management are key to combating the disproportionately high morbidity and mortality related to skin cancers affecting patients of color."

Although most physicians practicing dermatology are board-certified in dermatology, there are physicians practicing dermatology who are board-certified in a variety of different medical specialties. This cross-sectional study examines the board certifications of physicians who reported practicing dermatology in Texas. Data were sourced from the Texas Medical Board database updated in August 2023. The data showed that out of 1,614 practicing physicians declaring dermatology as a specialty in Texas, 1,080 (66.91%) physicians had one board certification, 200 (12.39%) had two, and 15 (0.93%) had three. Of the physicians with one board certification, 1,053 (97.5%) were board-certified in dermatology, with the remainder primarily being a mix of a variety of primary care specialties but also including other specialties. This study confirmed that while the vast majority of physicians practicing dermatology are board-certified in dermatology, there are opportunities for physicians board-certified in other specialties to practice dermatology as well."

Despite these findings, curcumin has yet to be commercialized as a drug due to its low water solubility, low absorption, and restricted bioavailability. As a result, there is a demand for water-soluble curcumin with improved solubility, bioavailability, and thus bioactivity. In this study we report the synthesis and the anticancer activities of water-soluble curcumins derivatives with alkyl sulfonate moiety. The target water-soluble curcumin with alkyl sulfonate moieties was created utilizing a straightforward technique that involved reacting curcumin with various sultones. The cytotoxic (24 h) and cytostatic (72 h) anticancer effect on breast carcinoma (MCF-7), liver carcinoma (HepG2), skin melanoma (B16-F110), colon human cancer and HeLa cervical carcinoma cell lines viability % via MTT assay were determined for the prepared derivatives. Results showed that curcumin-derived compounds have a pronounced cytostatic anticancer effect rather than cytotoxic one in relation to the compound type, cancer cell line type, and examined concentration compared to curcumin. The curcumin sulfonates outperformed curcumin activity against the tested cancer cells and showed to be powerful anticancer candidate drugs as supported by the theoretical calculations. This is evident by their high capacity to form H-bonding during docking with the amino acid side chains and the Vina docking score."

Cannabis and its bioactive compounds, including cannabinoids and non-cannabinoids, have been extensively studied in different conditions. Recent data have shown that the endocannabinoid system is responsible for maintaining the homeostasis of various skin functions such as proliferation, differentiation and release of inflammatory mediators. Because of their role in regulating these key processes, cannabinoids have been studied for the treatment of skin cancers and melanoma; their anti-tumour effects regulate skin cancer progression and are mainly related to the inhibition of tumour growth, proliferation, invasion and angiogenesis, through apoptosis and autophagy induction. This review aims at summarising the current field of research on the potential uses of cannabinoids in the melanoma field."

+3148,skin cancer,39039072,Proteogenomic insights into the biology and treatment of pan-melanoma.,"Melanoma is one of the most prevalent skin cancers, with high metastatic rates and poor prognosis. Understanding its molecular pathogenesis is crucial for improving its diagnosis and treatment. Integrated analysis of multi-omics data from 207 treatment-naïve melanomas (primary-cutaneous-melanomas (CM, n = 28), primary-acral-melanomas (AM, n = 81), primary-mucosal-melanomas (MM, n = 28), metastatic-melanomas (n = 27), and nevi (n = 43)) provides insights into melanoma biology. Multivariate analysis reveals that PRKDC amplification is a prognostic molecule for melanomas. Further proteogenomic analysis combined with functional experiments reveals that the cis-effect of PRKDC amplification may lead to tumor proliferation through the activation of DNA repair and folate metabolism pathways. Proteome-based stratification of primary melanomas defines three prognosis-related subtypes, namely, the ECM subtype, angiogenesis subtype (with a high metastasis rate), and cell proliferation subtype, which provides an essential framework for the utilization of specific targeted therapies for particular melanoma subtypes. The immune classification identifies three immune subtypes. Further analysis combined with an independent anti-PD-1 treatment cohort reveals that upregulation of the MAPK7-NFKB signaling pathway may facilitate T-cell recruitment and increase the sensitivity of patients to immunotherapy. In contrast, PRKDC may reduce the sensitivity of melanoma patients to immunotherapy by promoting DNA repair in melanoma cells. These results emphasize the clinical value of multi-omics data and have the potential to improve the understanding of melanoma treatment."

The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of intralesional methotrexate (MTX) as neoadjuvant therapy in the treatment of periocular SCC. The outcome of a patient after two separate intralesional MTX infiltrations 2 weeks apart is described. Therapeutic response was evaluated, achieving a significant reduction in tumor size and subsequently performing surgical excision of the residual lesion. The procedure was well tolerated, with no local or distant recurrences in the follow up. Intralesional MTX may be an effective and safe option in the neoadjuvant treatment of periocular SCC. Furthermore, we highlight the growing importance of immunotherapy in the approach to SCC and the need to familiarize specialists with these new treatments."

+3155,skin cancer,39038032,Antimicrobial activity of NK cells to Trypanosoma cruzi infected human primary Keratinocytes.,"Infection with the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi is causative for Chagas disease, which is a highly neglected tropical disease prevalent in Latin America. Humans are primary infected through vectorial transmission by blood-sucking triatomine bugs. The parasite enters the human host through mucous membranes or small skin lesions. Since keratinocytes are the predominant cell type in the epidermis, they play a critical role in detecting disruptions in homeostasis and aiding in pathogen elimination by the immune system in the human skin as alternative antigen-presenting cells. Interestingly, keratinocytes also act as a reservoir for T. cruzi, as the skin has been identified as a major site of persistent infection in mice with chronic Chagas disease. Moreover, there are reports of the emergence of T. cruzi amastigote nests in the skin of immunocompromised individuals who are experiencing reactivation of Chagas disease. This observation implies that the skin may serve as a site for persistent parasite presence during chronic human infection too and underscores the significance of investigating the interactions between T. cruzi and skin cells. Consequently, the primary objective of this study was to establish and characterize the infection kinetics in human primary epidermal keratinocytes (hPEK). Our investigation focused on surface molecules that either facilitated or hindered the activation of natural killer (NK) cells, which play a crucial role in controlling the infection. To simulate the in vivo situation in humans, an autologous co-culture model was developed to examine the interactions between T. cruzi infected keratinocytes and NK cells. We evaluated the degranulation, cytokine production, and cytotoxicity of NK cells in response to the infected keratinocytes. We observed a strong activation of NK cells by infected keratinocytes, despite minimal alterations in the expression of activating or inhibitory ligands on NK cell receptors. However, stimulation with recombinant interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), a cytokine known to be present in significant quantities during chronic T. cruzi infections in the host, resulted in a substantial upregulation of these ligands on primary keratinocytes. Overall, our findings suggest the crucial role of NK cells in controlling acute T. cruzi infection in the upper layer of the skin and shed light on keratinocytes as potential initial targets of infection."

Postmarketing pharmacovigilance analyses evaluating outcomes associated with dabrafenib/trametinib-induced HLH are also lacking. Herein, we report a case of dabrafenib/trametinib-induced HLH in a patient with metastatic melanoma. Recovery of HLH-related symptoms was observed following drug discontinuation, supportive care, and corticosteroids. We also conducted a pharmacovigilance analysis of the USA Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) to describe postmarketing cases of HLH with dabrafenib/trametinib exposure. There were 50 reports of HLH with dabrafenib/trametinib in FAERS. Most cases occurred in the setting of melanoma ( n  = 39; 78%) and most were reported in Europe ( n  = 39; 74%). Hospitalization was the most common outcome ( n  = 39; 78%) of this adverse event per FAERS.

+3158,skin cancer,39037571,SPP1 could be an immunological and prognostic biomarker: From pan-cancer comprehensive analysis to osteosarcoma validation.,"Secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1), also known as osteopontin, is a phosphorylated protein. High SPP1 expression levels have been detected in multiple cancers and are associated with poor prognosis and reduced survival rates. However, only a few pan-cancer analyses have targeted SPP1. We conducted a comprehensive analysis using multiple public databases, including TIMER and TCGA, to investigate the expression levels of SPP1 in 33 different tumor types. In addition, we verified the effect of SPP1 on osteosarcoma. To assess the impact of SPP1 on patient outcomes, we employed univariate Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses to analyze overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and progression-free interval (PFI) in these tumor patients. We also explored SPP1 gene alterations in various tumor tissues using cBioPortal. We then examined the relationship between SPP1 and clinical characteristics, TME, immune regulatory genes, immune checkpoints, TMB, and MSI using R language. In addition, we used GSEA to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of SPP1. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that SPP1 was upregulated in 17 tumors. Overexpression of SPP1 results in poor OS, DSS, and PFI in CESC, ESCA, GBM, LGG, LIHC, PAAD, PRAD, and skin cutaneous melanoma. SPP1 expression was positively associated with immunocyte infiltration, immune regulatory genes, immune checkpoints, TMB, MSI, and drug sensitivity in certain cancers. We found that high expression of SPP1 in osteosarcoma was related to drug resistance and metastasis and further demonstrated that SPP1 can stimulate osteosarcoma cell proliferation via CCND1 by activating the PI3K/Akt pathway. These findings strongly suggest that SPP1 is a potential prognostic marker and novel target for cancer immunotherapy."
+3159,skin cancer,39037246,Surgical Bone Implantation Technique for Rat Tibia Models of Diabetes and Osteoporosis.,"The rat has long served as a valuable animal model in implant dentistry and orthopedics, particularly in studying the interactions between biomaterials and bone tissue. The rat's tibia is frequently chosen due to its easy surgical access through thin tissue layers (skin and muscle) and the flattened shape of its medial face, facilitating the surgical insertion of intraosseous devices. Additionally, this model enables the induction of specific diseases, mimicking various clinical conditions to assess biological responses to different implant conditions like geometry, surface texture, or biological cues. However, despite its robust cortical structure, certain intraosseous devices may require adaptations in design and size for successful implantation. Therefore, establishing standardized surgical methods for manipulating both soft and hard tissues in the implantation region is essential for ensuring proper implant or screw device placement, particularly in fields like implant dentistry and orthopedics. This study included eighty Sprague Dawley rats divided into two groups based on their respective diseases: Group 1 with osteoporosis and Group 2 with Type 2 Diabetes. Implantations were performed at 4 weeks and 12 weeks, with the same surgeon following a consistent surgical technique. A positive biological response was observed, indicating complete osseointegration of all implants placed. These results validate the success of the surgical protocol, which can be replicated for other studies and serve as a benchmark for the biomaterials community. Notably, osseointegration values remained stable at both 4 weeks and 12 weeks for both disease models, demonstrating a durable integration of the implant over time and emphasizing the establishment of an intimate bone connection as early as 4 weeks."

Traditional diagnostic methods, which rely on visual examination and histopathological analysis, do not include metabolomic data. This exploratory study aims to molecularly characterize BCC and diagnose tumour tissue by applying matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) and machine learning (ML). BCC tumour development was induced in a mouse model and tissue sections containing BCC (n = 12) were analysed. The study design involved three phases: (i) Model training, (ii) Model validation and (iii) Metabolomic analysis. The ML algorithm was trained on MS data extracted and labelled in accordance with histopathology. An overall classification accuracy of 99.0% was reached for the labelled data. Classification of unlabelled tissue areas aligned with the evaluation of a certified Mohs surgeon for 99.9% of the total tissue area, underscoring the model's high sensitivity and specificity in identifying BCC. Tentative metabolite identifications were assigned to 189 signals of importance for the recognition of BCC, each indicating a potential tumour marker of diagnostic value. These findings demonstrate the potential for MALDI-MSI coupled with ML to characterize the metabolomic profile of BCC and to diagnose tumour tissue with high sensitivity and specificity. Further studies are needed to explore the potential of implementing integrated MS and automated analyses in the clinical setting."

Typically presenting as a benign growth, however it can recur locally, and malignant variants have been reported. We present an unusual case of OFMT occurring as a subcutaneous mass on the right upper back. A 29-year-old gentleman presented with one-year history of a painless, slowly enlarging mass on his right upper back. He had no relevant medical history, was not on any medications, and had no family history of skin cancer. Physical examination revealed a 25mm x 25mm skin-coloured, stony-hard, well circumscribed mass. The initial clinical diagnosis was a calcified epidermoid cyst. The lesion was excised and sent for histopathology, which revealed well-circumscribed cellular spindle cells with low mitotic index. Immunohistochemistry showed variable S100 positivity. Due to its rarity, the diagnosis was delayed as the biopsy required a second opinion from a tertiary hospital. The final pathological diagnosis confirmed OFMT. This case describes the very rare presentation of OFMT in a dermatology clinic, highlighting the importance of recognising this neoplasm due to its potential for recurrence and metastasis. This unusual case of OFMT broadens the dermatological differential diagnosis for a subcutaneous mass."

However, previous studies have mainly focused on the gut, oral, and/or skin microbiota. In recent years, the study of intratumoral microbiota has become a hot topic in tumor-concerning studies. Intratumoral microbiota plays an important role in the occurrence, development, and response to treatment of malignant tumors. In fact, increasing evidence has suggested that intratumoral microbiota is associated with malignant tumors in various ways, such as promoting the tumor development and affecting the efficacy of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. In this review, the impact of intratumoral microbiota on the immune microenvironment of malignant tumors has been analyzed, as well as its role in tumor immunotherapy, with the hope that it may contribute to the development of diagnostic tools and treatments for related tumors in the future."

The absence of high-quality and comprehensive systematic reviews poses challenges in making informed decisions. In this study, we conducted a review of the existing literature and assessed the quality of the current evidence pertaining to the clinical, aesthetic, and patient-reported outcomes associated with absorbable and nonabsorbable sutures for facial skin closure. The study was registered on Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews. We conducted searches on Embase, Ovid, and PubMed/MEDLINE databases. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were eligible for inclusion in this study. Additionally, the risk of bias in the randomized studies was assessed using Cochrane's Risk of Bias Tool. The study included a total of nine RCTs involving 804 participants with facial injuries. Among these injuries, absorbable sutures were utilized in 50.2% (403 injuries), while nonabsorbable sutures were employed in 49.8% (401 injuries). The analysis of cosmesis scales revealed no statistically significant difference between absorbable and nonabsorbable sutures regarding infections ( "

It is the most common type of melanoma in individuals with dark skin and is notoriously challenging to treat. We examine exome sequencing data of 139 tissue samples, spanning different progression stages, from 37 patients. We find that 78.4% of the melanomas display clustered copy number transitions with focal amplifications, recurring predominantly on chromosomes 5, 11, 12, and 22. These complex genomic aberrations are typically shared across all progression stages of individual patients. TERT activating alterations also arise early, whereas MAP-kinase pathway mutations appear later, an inverted order compared to the canonical evolution. The punctuated formation of complex aberrations and early TERT activation suggest a unique mutational mechanism that initiates acral melanoma. The marked intratumoral heterogeneity, especially concerning MAP-kinase pathway mutations, may partly explain the limited success of therapies for this melanoma subtype."

The predominant mutational signature is that of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) molecular classification includes four major subtypes of CM based on common genetic alterations involving the following genes: BRAF, NRAS, and NF1, with a small fraction being ""triple"" wild-type. The two main signaling pathway abnormalities in CM are the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and the phosphoinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) pathway. Other less common types include mucosal melanomas (MM) and uveal melanoma (UM), which have a significantly different genomic landscape. Although few studies reported rare cases with HPV-positive (HPV+) melanoma, the clinicopathological and molecular characteristic of this entity has not been well-described. Among the 2084 melanoma cases queried at our institution, we identified seven patients diagnosed with HPV+ melanoma (prevalence 0.03 %), including five instances of CM and two of MM. The majority of cases were positive for HPV16 (n = 6).

However, the safety of PBM against cancer still needs to be validated as the effects of PBM on cancer cells and their mechanisms are unclear. The current study investigated the wavelength-dependent PBM effects by examining four different laser wavelengths (405, 532, 635, and 808 nm) on B16F10 melanoma tumor cells. In vitro tests showed that PBM with 808 nm promoted both proliferation and migration of B16F10 cells. In vivo results demonstrated that PBM with 808 nm significantly increased the relative tumor volume and promoted angiogenesis with overexpression of VEGF and HIF-1α. In addition, PBM induced the phosphorylation of factors closely related to cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth and upregulated the related gene expression. The current result showed that compared to the other wavelengths, 808 nm yielded a significant tumor-stimulating effect the malignant melanoma cancer. Further studies will investigate the in-depth molecular mechanism of PBM on tumor stimulation in order to warrant the safety of PBM for clinical cancer treatment."

The mortality rate has been increasing rapidly every year, which causes progression in the various diagnostic technologies to handle this illness. The manual procedure for segmentation and classification with a large set of data modalities can be a challenging task. Therefore, a crucial requirement is to significantly develop the computer-assisted diagnostic system intended for the initial cancer identification. This article offers a systematic review of Deep Learning approaches using various image modalities to detect multi-organ cancers from 2012 to 2023. It emphasizes the detection of five supreme predominant tumors, i.e., breast, brain, lung, skin, and liver. Extensive review has been carried out by collecting research and conference articles and book chapters from reputed international databases, i.e., Springer Link, IEEE Xplore, Science Direct, PubMed, and Wiley that fulfill the criteria for quality evaluation. This systematic review summarizes the overview of convolutional neural network model architectures and datasets used for identifying and classifying the diverse categories of cancer. This study accomplishes an inclusive idea of ensemble deep learning models that have achieved better evaluation results for classifying the different images into cancer or healthy cases. This paper will provide a broad understanding to the research scientists within the domain of medical imaging procedures of which deep learning technique perform best over which type of dataset, extraction of features, different confrontations, and their anticipated solutions for the complex problems.

+3185,skin cancer,39032035,Response and outcome of patients with melanoma skin metastases and immune checkpoint inhibition.,"It is known, that different metastatic organ systems respond differently to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). In this study, we aimed to investigate the extent to which skin/subcutaneous metastases respond to ICI or targeted therapies (TTs) and whether the response rate differs from that of distant metastases in the same patient. Patients with melanoma diagnosed between January 2021 and September 2023 with at least one skin/subcutaneous metastasis who had received therapy with ICI or TT in an advanced setting were included in the analysis. Best overall response (BOR) was classified according to the revised response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST). The BOR of skin metastases and visceral metastases to ICI and TT was compared using the chi-square test. Skin metastases treated with ICI a first-line setting showed an overall response rate (ORR) of 44.1%. In contrast, visceral metastases had a higher ORR of 51.1%. However, the difference was not statistically significant (p = .77). Regarding TT, the ORR for skin metastases was 57.1%, compared to 38.5% for visceral metastases (p = .59). Interestingly, the ORR for skin/subcutaneous metastases was notably lower with ICI compared to visceral metastases, in contrast to patients who underwent TT. Skin metastases showed a poorer response to ICI than visceral metastases. Therefore, careful monitoring is recommended to detect non-response early in patients with skin metastases as skin metastases may have a worse response than TT. A larger cohort is needed for a comprehensive analysis and confirmation of our results."

However, newer therapies and combinations are associated with impressive time-to-next-treatment (TTNT), particularly allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (AlloSCT) and combination therapies notably those including extracorporeal photopheresis. In this multicentre, international study, we explored the prognostic outcomes of 178 patients exclusively managed for SS, diagnosed between 2012 and 2020, and treated in the modern therapeutic era. In this cohort, 58 different therapies were delivered, with 13.5% of patients receiving AlloSCT. Long-term survival exceeded historical reports with 5-year DSS and OS of 56.4% and 53.4% respectively. In those receiving AlloSCT, prognosis was excellent: 5-year DSS and OS were 90.5% and 78.0% respectively. Confirming the results from the Cutaneous Lymphoma International Consortium (CLIC), LDH and LCT had significant prognostic impact. Unlike earlier studies, stage did not have prognostic impact; we speculate that greater relative benefit favours patients with extensive lymphomatous nodal disease (Stage IVA2) compared to historical reports. For patients ineligible for AlloSCT, the prognosis remains relatively poor (5-year DSS 51.4% and OS 49.6%), representing ongoing unmet needs for more effective novel agents and investigation of improved therapeutic combinations."

Originating from diverse sources, both intentional and unintentional, these minuscule fragments, measuring less than 5 mm, pose significant threats to environmental and human health. Recent research has uncovered a concerning link between microplastics and cancer, prompting urgent investigation. Studies demonstrate microplastics can infiltrate cells, disrupt biological processes, and potentially foster carcinogenic environments. From inducing DNA damage and oxidative stress to triggering inflammatory responses and dysregulating cellular pathways, microplastics exhibit a multifaceted capability in contributing to cancer development. Furthermore, microplastics act as carriers for a range of contaminants, compounding their impact on human health. Their accumulation within tissues and organs raises concerns for short and long-term health consequences, including chronic diseases, reproductive issues, and developmental abnormalities. This review explores the biochemical and molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between microplastics and cellular systems, providing insights into routes of exposure and health effects, with a focus on lung, skin, and digestive system cancers.

Cutaneous melanoma (CM), a highly metastatic skin cancer, largely contributes to global statistical cancer death data. Research has shown that rosmarinic acid (RA) is a promising phenolic compound with antineoplastic properties. Thus, we investigated the effects of RA on apoptosis-inducing in melanoma cells, purinergic signaling modulation, and cytokine levels. We treated SK-MEL-28 cells for 24 h with different concentrations of RA and assessed the apoptosis, CD39, CD73, and A2A expression, and cytokine levels. We found RA-induced apoptosis in melanoma cells. Regarding the purinergic system, we verified that RA downregulated the expression of CD73 and A2A, specially at high concentrations of treatment. Additionally, RA increased IL-6, IL-4, IL-10, IFN-γ, and TNF-α levels. Our in vitro results confirm RA's potential to be used to induce melanoma cell apoptosis, having CD73 and A2A as targets when reversion of immune suppression is desired. Further studies in animal models and clinical trials focusing on RA's modulation of purinergic signaling in melanoma are required."

Its onset is concealed, the course of the disease is chronic, and some patients have malignant tumors outside the skin; therefore, it is necessary to diagnose and evaluate the disease at an early stage. This study aimed to investigate the application of reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) in the diagnosis of BD. We performed RCM imaging on the lesion site and underwent skin biopsy for histological diagnosis of 92 patients initially diagnosed with BD in clinic. A retrospective analysis of the RCM result as well as the histological examination revealed that after analyzing RCM images, out of 92 biopsy lesions, 61 were diagnosed with BD, of which 54 were consistent with RCM diagnosis. Among the 59 cases diagnosed with BD by RCM, 54 cases were consistent with the histological diagnosis. Afterwards, we analyzed the RCM characteristics in patients with BD verified by biopsy, and compared the RCM images of two different lesions, classic Bowen's disease and pigmented Bowen's disease, and further summarized the key points of BD under RCM. Finally, we focused on the differential characteristics between BD and other skin diseases in RCM. RCM is of great value in the diagnosis of BD.

Skin cancer can be classified as melanoma or non-melanoma (NMSC), the latter including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Development of BCC and SCC is impacted by environmental, behavioral, and genetic risk factors and the incidence is on the rise, with the associated number of deaths surpassing those caused by melanoma, according to recent reports. Substantial morbidity is related to both BCC and SCC, including disfigurement, loss of function, and chronic pain, driving high treatment costs, and representing a heavy financial burden to patients and healthcare systems worldwide. Clinical presentations of BCC and SCC can be diverse, sometimes carrying considerable phenotypic similarities to benign lesions, and underscoring the need for the development of disease-specific biomarkers. Skin biomarker profiling plays an important role in deeper disease understanding, as well as in guiding clinical diagnosis and patient management, prompting the use of both invasive and non-invasive tools to evaluate specific biomarkers. In this work, we review the known and emerging biomarkers of BCC and SCC, with a focus on molecular and histologic biomarkers relevant for aspects of patient management, including prevention/risk assessments, tumor diagnosis, and therapy selection."
+3204,skin cancer,39030380,Learning generalizable AI models for multi-center histopathology image classification.,"Investigation of histopathology slides by pathologists is an indispensable component of the routine diagnosis of cancer. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy, improve efficiency, and patient outcomes in clinical pathology. However, variations in tissue preparation, staining protocols, and histopathology slide digitization could result in over-fitting of deep learning models when trained on the data from only one center, thereby underscoring the necessity to generalize deep learning networks for multi-center use. Several techniques, including the use of grayscale images, color normalization techniques, and Adversarial Domain Adaptation (ADA) have been suggested to generalize deep learning algorithms, but there are limitations to their effectiveness and discriminability. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) exhibit higher sensitivity to variations in the amplitude spectrum, whereas humans predominantly rely on phase-related components for object recognition. As such, we propose Adversarial fourIer-based Domain Adaptation (AIDA) which applies the advantages of a Fourier transform in adversarial domain adaptation. We conducted a comprehensive examination of subtype classification tasks in four cancers, incorporating cases from multiple medical centers. Specifically, the datasets included multi-center data for 1113 ovarian cancer cases, 247 pleural cancer cases, 422 bladder cancer cases, and 482 breast cancer cases. Our proposed approach significantly improved performance, achieving superior classification results in the target domain, surpassing the baseline, color augmentation and normalization techniques, and ADA. Furthermore, extensive pathologist reviews suggested that our proposed approach, AIDA, successfully identifies known histotype-specific features. This superior performance highlights AIDA's potential in addressing generalization challenges in deep learning models for multi-center histopathology datasets."

Gene mutations that lead to defects in the core NER reaction cause the skin cancer-prone disease xeroderma pigmentosum. In NER, DNA lesions are excised within an oligonucleotide of 25-30 residues via a complex, multi-step reaction that is regulated by protein-protein interactions. These interactions were first characterized in the 1990s using pull-down, co-IP and yeast two-hybrid assays. More recently, high-resolution structures and detailed functional studies have started to yield detailed pictures of the progression along the NER reaction coordinate. In this review, we highlight how the study of interactions among proteins by structural and/or functional studies have provided insights into the mechanisms by which the NER machinery recognizes and excises DNA lesions.

However, at least half of the patients do not benefit sufficiently. Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer cells and may contribute to both tumour growth and immune evasion by the tumour. Preclinical studies have indeed demonstrated that modulating tumour metabolism can reduce tumour growth while improving the functionality of immune cells. Since metabolic pathways are commonly shared between immune and tumour cells, it is essential to understand how modulating tumour metabolism in patients influences the intricate balance of pro-and anti-tumour immune effects in the tumour microenvironment. The key question is whether modulating tumour metabolism can inhibit tumour cell growth as well as facilitate an anti-tumour immune response. Here, we review current knowledge on the effect of tumour metabolism on the immune response in melanoma. We summarise metabolic pathways in melanoma and non-cancerous cells in the tumour microenvironment and discuss models and techniques available to study the metabolic-immune interaction. Finally, we discuss clinical use of these techniques to improve our understanding of how metabolic interventions can tip the balance towards a favourable, immune permissive microenvironment in melanoma patients."

Furthermore, cutaneous metastasis of SDC secondary to a scald is even rarer, and to the best of our knowledge, our case represents the first such instance. Considering the involvement of the fingers in the metastatic site, which may affect limb function and quality of life, we present this case to explore the reason why scald could lead to distant recurrence and better treatment options."
+3210,skin cancer,39028472,Identifying Patients At Risk for Melanoma in an Aesthetic Practice.,"In the United States, melanoma skin cancer deaths are expected to rise by 4.4% in 2023, reaching 7990. Early detection through visual screening can save lives, but the US Preventive Services Task Force cites insufficient evidence to recommend universal skin screening for all adults. For this reason, the risk for melanoma may be overlooked outside of dermatology settings, leading to delayed diagnoses and poor survival rates. Our project aimed to address this issue by increasing the identification of at-risk individuals visiting a medical aesthetic practice in the Midwest. The literature regarding melanoma risk stratification outside of dermatology settings is deficient. A search yielding 336 articles produced 8 articles for review. Five suggested melanoma risk screenings in general practice are feasible and/or can lead to early detection. Using the Plan-Do-Study-Act model, we executed our project from February through April 2023. Patients visiting the medical aesthetic practice completed a Self-Assessment Melanoma Risk Score questionnaire. We assessed the completed questionnaires and offered visual cancer screenings or dermatology referrals to patients identified as at-risk. A total of 211 patients participated, and 26% (n = 55) were identified as at-risk. This intervention improved the quality of care by identifying patients at risk for melanoma. Future steps include adapting the Self-Assessment of Melanoma Risk Score questionnaire to a new electronic medical record system, incorporating the questionnaire as part of the initial intake and annual patient documentation, and improving patient education and follow-up."
+3211,skin cancer,39028303,"Prognostic and therapeutic insights into MIF, DDT, and CD74 in melanoma.","Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) and its homolog D-dopachrome Tautomerase (DDT) have been implicated as drivers of tumor progression across a variety of cancers. Recent evidence suggests MIF as a therapeutic target in immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) resistant melanomas, however clinical evidence of MIF and particularly of DDT remain limited. This retrospective study analyzed 97 patients treated at Yale for melanoma between 2002-2020. Bulk-RNA sequencing of patient tumor samples from the Skin Cancer SPORE Biorepository was used to evaluate for differential gene expression of MIF, DDT, CD74, and selected inflammatory markers, and gene expression was correlated with patient survival outcomes. Our findings revealed a strong correlation between MIF and DDT levels, with no statistically significant difference across common melanoma mutations and subtypes. Improved survival was associated with lower MIF and DDT levels and higher CD74:MIF and CD74:DDT levels. High CD74:DDT and CD74:MIF levels were also associated with enrichment of infiltrating inflammatory cell markers. These data suggest DDT as a novel target in immune therapy. Dual MIF and DDT blockade may provide synergistic responses in patients with melanoma, irrespective of common mutations, and may overcome ICI resistance. These markers may also provide prognostic value for further biomarker development."

Primary gastrointestinal tract (GIT) melanoma is even rarer. A 70-year-old male visited the Liaoning Cancer Hospital and Institute, China, due to upper abdominal discomfort for the past two months. His endoscopy revealed a prominent, 6-cm ulcerated neoplasm in the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ). Lesion endoscopic biopsy showed diffusely distributed tumour cells. He underwent subtotal gastrectomy with lymph node dissection (LND). Postoperative histopathology revealed a diffuse distribution of tumour cells with numerous tumourinfiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and pigment granules. Immunohistochemical (IHC) results were positive for both S-100 and HMB-45. Molecular analysis showed KIT gene exon 11 mutations. Although the clinicians emphasised the necessity of systemic chemotherapy and immunotherapy with the patient and his family, the patient did not receive any adjuvant therapy and died 36 months after surgery. Primary malignant melanoma of GEJ should be considered in a differential diagnosis for gastrointestinal malignancies, especially after excluding the source of metastasis through a systemic examination."

Regular self-examinations of the skin can significantly enhance treatment outcomes. This report investigates a rare instance of BCC initially misdiagnosed as osteomyelitis, stemming from a longstanding wound on the patient's left shoulder. A 66-year-old male with a history of working in construction presented with a non-healing wound on his left shoulder, which he initially sustained from a metallic rod injury. Despite self-treatment, the wound deteriorated, revealing subcutaneous fat and producing foul-smelling drainage. Imaging suggested osteomyelitis, but the persistent and worsening nature of the wound over two years, previously concealed from his family and healthcare providers, prompted further investigation. A biopsy confirmed infiltrative BCC. The patient was referred to a tertiary care facility for comprehensive treatment, including long-term antibiotics for osteomyelitis and systemic therapy with vismodegib for BCC. Basal cell carcinoma commonly appears as a pink or flesh-colored papule or nodule, often with surface features that aid in early identification and treatment. Yet, infiltrative BCC, like the case described here, can pose diagnostic challenges because of its subtle yet aggressive characteristics. The complex causes of BCC highlight the necessity of preventive actions, particularly for those with prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Treatment approaches primarily aim at removing the tumor and may incorporate targeted therapies for more advanced instances. This case underscores the importance of regular skin self-examinations and prompt medical attention for lingering wounds, particularly among those at higher risk. Successfully addressing BCC demands a comprehensive strategy involving surgery, targeted chemotherapy, and preventive actions against potential future skin malignancies. Maintaining long-term surveillance is crucial for individuals with prior BCC diagnoses to detect any potential recurrence and address any enduring consequences of treatment."

+3221,skin cancer,39026661,Advancing immunotherapy for melanoma: the critical role of single-cell analysis in identifying predictive biomarkers.,"Melanoma, a malignant skin cancer arising from melanocytes, exhibits rapid metastasis and a high mortality rate, especially in advanced stages. Current treatment modalities, including surgery, radiation, and immunotherapy, offer limited success, with immunotherapy using immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) being the most promising. However, the high mortality rate underscores the urgent need for robust, non-invasive biomarkers to predict patient response to adjuvant therapies. The immune microenvironment of melanoma comprises various immune cells, which influence tumor growth and immune response. Melanoma cells employ multiple mechanisms for immune escape, including defects in immune recognition and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which collectively impact treatment efficacy. Single-cell analysis technologies, such as single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), have revolutionized the understanding of tumor heterogeneity and immune microenvironment dynamics. These technologies facilitate the identification of rare cell populations, co-expression patterns, and regulatory networks, offering deep insights into tumor progression, immune response, and therapy resistance. In the realm of biomarker discovery for melanoma, single-cell analysis has demonstrated significant potential. It aids in uncovering cellular composition, gene profiles, and novel markers, thus advancing diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Additionally, tumor-associated antibodies and specific genetic and cellular markers identified through single-cell analysis hold promise as predictive biomarkers. Despite these advancements, challenges such as RNA-protein expression discrepancies and tumor heterogeneity persist, necessitating further research. Nonetheless, single-cell analysis remains a powerful tool in elucidating the mechanisms underlying therapy response and resistance, ultimately contributing to the development of personalized melanoma therapies and improved patient outcomes."

In the current study, eleven bacteria isolates and one actinomycete were isolated from a roaster comb and screened for hyase production. Seven isolates were positive for hyase, and the most potent isolate was selected based on the diameter of the transparent zone. Based on the morphological, physiological, and 16 S rRNA characteristics, the most potent isolate was identified as Brucella intermedia MEFS with accession number OR794010. The environmental conditions supporting the maximum production of hyase were optimized to be incubation at 30 ºC for 48 h and pH 7, which caused a 1.17-fold increase in hyase production with an activity of 84 U/mL. Hyase was purified using a standard protocol, including precipitation with ammonium sulphate, DEAE as ion exchange chromatography, and size exclusion chromatography using Sephacryle S100, with a specific activity of 9.3-fold compared with the crude enzyme. The results revealed that the molecular weight of hyase was 65 KDa, and the optimum conditions for hyase activity were at pH 7.0 and 37 °C for 30 min. The purified hyase showed potent anticancer activities against colon, lung, skin, and breast cancer cell lines with low toxicity against normal somatic cells. The cell viability of hyase-treated cancer cells was found to be in a dose dependent manner. Hyase also controlled the growth factor-induced cell cycle progression of breast cancer cells and caused relative changes in angiogenesis-related genes as well as suppressed many pro-inflammatory proteins in MDA cells compared with 5-fluorouracil, indicating the significant role of hyase as an anticancer agent. In addition, hyase recorded the highest DPPH scavenging activity of 65.49% and total antioxidant activity of 71.84% at a concentration of 200 µg/mL."

However, the identification of reliable biomarkers for predicting immunotherapy response and prognosis remains a challenge. In this study, we performed genetic profiling of the melanoma patients with different subtypes and evaluated the efficacy of ICI treatment. A total of 221 melanoma patients were included in our cohort, consisting primarily of acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM), cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM), and mucosal malignant melanoma (MMM). Genetic analysis revealed BRAF mutations was predominant in CMM and NRAS mutations was prevalent in ALM. Copy number variants (CNVs) and structural variants (SV) were also detected, with CCND1 and CDK4 being the most affected genes in CNV and BRAF, ALK and RAF1 being the druggable targets in SV. Furthermore, NRAS mutations were associated with a poor prognosis in ALM, while TERT mutations were linked to unfavorable outcomes in CMM after receiving PD-1 therapy. Additionally, ALK expression exhibited improved outcomes in both ALM and CMM subtypes. Our study provides a comprehensive genomic and pathological profiling of Chinese melanoma patients, shedding light on the molecular landscape of the disease. Furthermore, numbers of gene mutations and ALK expression were identified as prognostic indicators. These findings contribute to the understanding of melanoma genetics in the Chinese population and have implications for personalized treatment approaches."
+3228,skin cancer,39025856,Sphinganine recruits TLR4 adaptors in macrophages and promotes inflammation in murine models of sepsis and melanoma.,"After recognizing its ligand lipopolysaccharide, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) recruits adaptor proteins to the cell membrane, thereby initiating downstream signaling and triggering inflammation. Whether this recruitment of adaptor proteins is dependent solely on protein-protein interactions is unknown. Here, we report that the sphingolipid sphinganine physically interacts with the adaptor proteins MyD88 and TIRAP and promotes MyD88 recruitment in macrophages. Myeloid cell-specific deficiency in serine palmitoyltransferase long chain base subunit 2, which encodes the key enzyme catalyzing sphingolipid biosynthesis, decreases the membrane recruitment of MyD88 and inhibits inflammatory responses in in vitro bone marrow-derived macrophage and in vivo sepsis models. In a melanoma mouse model, serine palmitoyltransferase long chain base subunit 2 deficiency decreases anti-tumor myeloid cell responses and increases tumor growth. Therefore, sphinganine biosynthesis is required for the initiation of TLR4 signal transduction and serves as a checkpoint for macrophage pattern recognition in sepsis and melanoma mouse models."

However, no improvement in overall survival has been observed thus far. Furthermore, there are no predictive markers for immunotherapy response in melanoma, therefore adjuvant treatment is offered to all comers based exclusively on the pathological and clinical stages. Additionally, one year of treatment duration and the risk of chronic immune-related adverse effects may negatively impact patients´ quality of life. In this review, we will try to answer whether the currently available data on adjuvant anti-PD1 therapy of stage IIB-IV resected melanoma is sufficient to make this strategy available to all patients.

+3233,skin cancer,39025173,Bacterial cellulose films for L-asparaginase delivery to melanoma cells.,"L-asparaginase (L-ASNase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of L-asparagine to L-aspartic acid and ammonia and is used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It is also toxic to the cells of some solid tumors, including melanoma cells. Immobilization of this enzyme can improve its activity against melanoma tumor cells. In this work, the properties of bacterial cellulose (BC) and feasibility of BC films as a new carrier for immobilized L-ASNase were investigated. Different values of growth time were used to obtain BC films with different thicknesses and porosities, which determine the water content and the ability to adsorb and release L-ASNase. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the adsorption of the enzyme on the BC films. The total activity of adsorbed L-ASNase and its release were investigated for films grown for 48, 72 or 96 h. BC films grown for 96 h showed the most pronounced release as described by zero-order and Korsmayer-Peppas models. The release was characterized by controlled diffusion where the drug was released at a constant rate. BC films with immobilized L-ASNase could induce cytotoxicity in A875 human melanoma cells. With further development, immobilization of L-ASNase on BC may become a potent strategy for anticancer drug delivery to superficial tumors."

Skin-reducing mastectomy reduces the envelope but must consider many other factors including complications. Limited data exist on incision impact on outcomes. We compare oblique-elliptical and Wise-pattern incisions on complications and patient-reported quality of life in immediate implant-based reconstruction.A retrospective review of patients who underwent immediate implant-based skin-reducing mastectomy at a single institution from 2015 to 2021 was done and was divided into two cohorts: wise and oblique incisions. Demographics, complications, and patient-reported outcomes (BREAST-Q) were compared. Descriptive, t test, and chi-square test analyses, followed by adjusted linear and logistic regression models, were performed to compare complication rates and BREAST-Q scores.Eighty-nine patient breasts were analyzed, 39 (43.8%) in the oblique (OI) and 50 (56.2%) in the wise (WI) cohort. No differences in demographics or preoperative comorbidities between groups were found. The oblique incision patients had significantly more mean total complications (OI 1.46 vs WI 0.88; P = 0.048), as well as increased incidence of explantation (OI 15 vs WI 3; P = 0.003) and cellulitis (OI 14 vs WI 3; P = 0.020) compared to wise group. Linear regression analysis revealed that incision choice was a significant predictor of complication rate (β = -1.06, 95% CI [-1.63--0.50], P = <0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that incision was a significant predictor of specific complications such as explantation (odds ratio = 0.10, 95% CI [0.02-0.52], P = 0.006) and cellulitis (odds ratio = 0.16, 95% CI [0.03-0.73], P = 0.018), with decreased risk of choosing wise incision. There was no difference in BREAST-Q results.Ptotic patients with oblique incision are associated with higher rates of postoperative complications compared to wise incisions.These findings suggest that incision choice is an important factor in postoperative complication development and emphasizes the need for further investigation and discussion with patients during preoperative planning."

However, the PS-OCT modality usually suffers from high system complexity and relatively low tissue-specific contrast, which makes assessing the extent of burns in skin tissue difficult. In this study, we employ an all-fiber-based PS-OCT system with single-state input, which is simple and efficient for skin burn assessment. Multiple parameters, such as phase retardation (PR), degree of polarization uniformity (DOPU), and optical axis orientation, are obtained to extract birefringent features, which are sensitive to subtle changes in structural arrangement and tissue composition.

Conventional topical formulations persist with drug and disease-related challenges during treatment. Various nanotechnology-driven approaches have been adopted to mitigate the issues associated with conventional formulations. Among these, cubosomes have shown potential applications owing to their liquid crystalline structure, which aids in bioadhesion, retention, sustained release, and loading hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties. The phase transition behavior of glyceryl monooleate, the concentration of stabilizers, and critical packing parameters are crucial parameters that affect the formation of cubosomes. Microfluidics-based approaches constitute a recent advance in technologies for generating stable cubosomes. This review covers the recent topical applications of cubosomes for treating skin (psoriasis, skin cancer, cutaneous candidiasis, acne, and alopecia) and eye (fungal keratitis, glaucoma, conjunctivitis, and uveitis) diseases. The article summarizes the manufacturing and biological challenges (skin and ocular barriers) that must be considered and encountered for successful clinical outcomes. The patented products are successful examples of technological advancements within cosmeceuticals that support various topical applications with cubosomes in the pharmaceutical field."

Demonstration of a clonal T-cell population using T-cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangement studies by next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been explored in several studies. This review summarizes the current literature on NGS-based sequencing methods for the assessment of TCR clonality in the evaluation of atypical cutaneous lymphoid infiltrates and CTCL on behalf of the American Society of Dermatopathology Appropriate Use Criteria Committee (lymphoproliferative subgroup). PubMed was searched for relevant articles, including CTCL and NGS, for clonality from 1967 to 2022. Thirteen studies were included in the analysis. The skin was the most commonly assayed compartment with TCR NGS. Sensitivity for TCR NGS in the skin ranged between 69% and 100%, compared to 44%-72% for polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-capillary electrophoresis. Specificity for TCR NGS in the skin ranged from 86% to 100%, compared to 77%-88% for PCR capillary electrophoresis. TCR NGS was also reported to have potential prognostic value in CTCL and can also be used to detect relapse and/or minimal residual disease after treatment."

Skin cancer can be treated with chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, etc. In most cases, a patient's condition and the type of skin cancer determine the recommended treatment options. As a result of poor penetration of the drug into stratum corneum or lesions, low efficacy, and higher concentrations of active pharmaceutical ingredients required to achieve a therapeutic effect, the efficacy of skin cancer therapy has been limited. The high dose requirement, as well as poor bioavailability at the site of action, causes skin inflammation, which greatly hinders drug absorption. This review mainly focuses on research on nanocarriers for sitespecific and controlled delivery of therapeutics for skin cancer treatment. The information related to various nanocarriers systems for skin cancer will be illustrated. This also focused on patents, clinical trials, and research carried out in the field of liposomes, niosomes, ethosomes, nanoparticles, microemulsion, nanoemulsions, gels, nanogels, hydrogels, dendrimers, and nanofibers for treating skin cancer.

As their clinical symptoms and image appearances on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be astonishingly similar, their accurate differentiation based solely on clinical and radiological information can be very challenging, particularly for ""cancer of unknown primary"", where no systemic malignancy is known or found. Non-invasive multiparametric MRI and radiomics offer the potential to identify these distinct biological properties, aiding in the characterization and differentiation of HGGs and BMs. However, there is a scarcity of publicly available multi-origin brain tumor imaging data for tumor characterization. In this paper, we introduce a multi-center, multi-origin brain tumor MRI (MOTUM) imaging dataset obtained from 67 patients: 29 with high-grade gliomas, 20 with lung metastases, 10 with breast metastases, 2 with gastric metastasis, 4 with ovarian metastasis, and 2 with melanoma metastasis. This dataset includes anonymized DICOM files alongside processed FLAIR, T1-weighted, contrast-enhanced T1-weighted, T2-weighted sequences images, segmentation masks of two tumor regions, and clinical data.

Skin-related adverse events, predominantly rash, are frequent and occur within a few hours after initial infusions; yet, the mechanisms are unknown. In this study, we analyzed clinical data from the randomized phase 3 trial (NCT03070392) of tebentafusp (n = 252) versus investigator's choice (n = 126). Translational analyses were performed on paired on-treatment skin samples from 19 patients collected in the phase 1 trial (NCT01211262). Our analyses showed that rash is a clinical manifestation of tebentafusp-induced recruitment of T cells to cutaneous melanocytes. Development of rash depended on baseline expression levels of gp100 and other melanin pathway genes in the skin. On treatment, melanocyte number was reduced, and expression of melanocytic genes decreased, whereas gene expression related to immunity and cytokine signaling increased. When adjusted for baseline prognostic features, patients with rash within the first week of tebentafusp treatment had the same overall survival as patients without a rash in the phase 3 randomized trial IMCgp100-202 (hazard ratio = 0.84, 95% confidence interval = 0.53-1.32). In summary, skin rash is an off-tumor, on-target effect of tebentafusp against gp100+ melanocytes, in line with the mechanism of action."

There are no specific anti-fibrotic treatments for liver fibrosis, and previous unsuccessful attempts at drug development have focused on preventing ECM deposition. Because liver fibrosis is largely acknowledged to be reversible, regulating fibrosis resolution could offer novel therapeutical options. However, little is known about the mechanisms controlling ECM remodeling during resolution. Changes in proteolytic activity are essential for ECM homeostasis and macrophages are an important source of proteases.

+3269,skin cancer,39019048,Combining unsupervised constraints on weakly supervised semantic segmentation of skin cancer.,"Precise segmentation for skin cancer lesions at different stages is conducive to early detection and further treatment. Considering the huge cost of obtaining pixel-perfect annotations for this task, segmentation using less expensive image-level labels has become a research direction. Most image-level label weakly supervised segmentation uses class activation mapping (CAM) methods. A common consequence of this method is incomplete foreground segmentation, insufficient segmentation, or false negatives. At the same time, when performing weakly supervised segmentation of skin cancer lesions, ulcers, redness, and swelling may appear near the segmented areas of individual disease categories. This co-occurrence problem affects the model's accuracy in segmenting class-related tissue boundaries to a certain extent. The above two issues are determined by the loosely constrained nature of image-level labels that penalize the entire image space. Therefore, providing pixel-level constraints for weak supervision of image-level labels is the key to improving performance. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes a joint unsupervised constraint-assisted weakly supervised segmentation model (UCA-WSS). The weakly supervised part of the model adopts a dual-branch adversarial erasure mechanism to generate higher-quality CAM. The unsupervised part uses contrastive learning and clustering algorithms to generate foreground labels and fine boundary labels to assist segmentation and solve common co-occurrence problems in weakly supervised skin cancer lesion segmentation through unsupervised constraints. The model proposed in the article is evaluated comparatively with other related models on some public dermatology data sets. Experimental results show that our model performs better on the skin cancer segmentation task than other weakly supervised segmentation models, showing the potential of combining unsupervised constraint methods on weakly supervised segmentation."

When response was assessed at 12 months (12 M) in 118 patients, 74.6% were classified as responders and 25.4% as non-responders. The skin and oral cavity were the most frequent organs used as the basis for determining overall response. The lungs, liver, and eyes were also used in 20% of patients. Non-response decisions at 12 M were most frequent in the lungs. A significantly higher percentage of responders than non-responders completed systemic treatment (24.3% vs. 3.3%, P = 0.02). Global scoring showed significant changes, with improvement in responders and worsening in non-responders throughout the observation period. Two-year transplant-related mortality, using the 12 M assessment as the landmark, was significantly worse in non-responders (28.5% vs. 2,7%, P = 0.0001), while the 2-year recurrence rate was equivalent (5.4% vs. 4.8%, P = 0.78). Consequently, the 2-year overall survival rate from the 12 M assessment was significantly better in responders than non-responders (95% vs. 65.3%, P = 0.0001). Our data suggests that patients who do not achieve a response within the first year should be candidates for clinical studies on chronic GVHD."

This study aimed to investigate the anti-psoriatic activity of Biochanin A (BCA), a phytomolecule with known anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, using the IMQ-induced psoriasis-like mouse model. Network pharmacology analysis was performed to investigate the targetability of Biochanin A (BCA) against psoriasis. Psoriasis-like skin inflammation was established using BALB/c mice by topical application of IMQ (5%). BCA cream (0.3%, 1%, 3%) was applied on the skin regions every day for 6 days. The skin phenotypes-erythema and scaling were scored every day. On the 7th day, skin tissues were collected for gene expression analysis, histopathological analysis, cytokine levels determination, and western blot analysis for signaling mechanisms. The network pharmacology analysis has identified 57 common targets between psoriasis and BCA. The topical application of IMQ induced a typical psoriasis-like skin phenotype including redness, skin thickening, and plaque formation. Upon BCA treatment, the psoriasis-like symptoms were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner. The targets identified by the network pharmacology (MMP9, EGFR, and PTGS2) and the pro-inflammatory cytokine gene expression were found to be significantly elevated in IMQ controls, and upon BCA treatment they were found significantly reduced. The release of cytokines linked to psoriasis (IL-17A and IL-23) were significantly reduced upon BCA treatment. Furthermore, our findings demonstrated that BCA treatment alleviated the psoriasis-like symptoms via modulating NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways. Our results demonstrate the therapeutic potential of BCA against IMQ-induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation."

Recommended options include integrin antagonist therapy including natalizumab as well as anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies like, ocrelizumab, rituximab, ofatumumab, and ublituximab. These therapies reduce relapse rates and slow brain lesion accumulation. Disease-modifying therapies selection may depend on patient preferences, potential fetal harm, and specific drug risks, requiring continuous monitoring via tracking clinical relapses and new MRI brain lesions. Natalizumab carries a risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, particularly in anti-JCV antibody-positive patients, necessitating regular monitoring. Ocrelizumab, rituximab, and ublituximab are associated with an increased risk of infections (especially respiratory and skin infections), infusion reactions, and hypogammaglobulinemia. Ocrelizumab additionally poses a heightened risk of immune-mediated colitis and breast cancer, and it is contraindicated for patients with active hepatitis B due to the risk of viral reactivation. Ublituximab has been noted to be linked to potential fetal harm. We report the case of a 42-year-old male with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis on ocrelizumab who developed persistent fever and shortness of breath, two weeks after his last ocrelizumab dose. Despite antibiotic treatment for suspected pneumonia, his symptoms persisted. A chest CT scan revealed multifocal ground-glass opacities suggestive of organizing pneumonia, likely secondary to ocrelizumab.

In this study, we investigated the metastatic melanoma tumor microbiome and its potential roles in association with clinical outcomes, such as survival, in patients with metastatic disease treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Baseline tumor samples were collected from 71 patients with metastatic melanoma before treatment with ICIs. Bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was conducted on the formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded and fresh frozen tumor samples. Durable clinical benefit (primary clinical endpoint) following ICIs was defined as overall survival >24 months and no change to the primary drug regimen (responders). We processed RNA-seq reads to carefully identify exogenous sequences using the {exotic} tool. The age of the 71 patients with metastatic melanoma ranged from 24 to 83 years, 59% were male, and 55% survived >24 months following the initiation of ICI treatment. Exogenous taxa were identified in the tumor RNA-seq, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. We found differences in gene expression and microbe abundances in immunotherapy-responsive versus nonresponsive tumors. Responders showed significant enrichment of bacteriophages in the phylum Uroviricota, and nonresponders showed enrichment of several bacteria, including Campylobacter jejuni. These microbes correlated with immune-related gene expression signatures. Finally, we found that models for predicting prolonged survival with immunotherapy using both microbe abundances and gene expression outperformed models using either dataset alone. Our findings warrant further investigation and potentially support therapeutic strategies to modify the tumor microbiome in order to improve treatment outcomes with ICIs."

+3307,skin cancer,39014060,A survey of skin tone assessment in prospective research.,"Increasing evidence supports reduced accuracy of noninvasive assessment tools, such as pulse oximetry, temperature probes, and AI skin diagnosis benchmarks, in patients with darker skin tones. The FDA is exploring potential strategies for device regulation to improve performance across diverse skin tones by including skin tone criteria. However, there is no consensus about how prospective studies should perform skin tone assessment in order to take this bias into account. There are several tools available to conduct skin tone assessments including administered visual scales (e.g., Fitzpatrick Skin Type, Pantone, Monk Skin Tone) and color measurement tools (e.g., reflectance colorimeters, reflectance spectrophotometers, cameras), although none are consistently used or validated across multiple medical domains. Accurate and consistent skin tone measurement depends on many factors including standardized environments, lighting, body parts assessed, patient conditions, and choice of skin tone assessment tool(s). As race and ethnicity are inadequate proxies for skin tone, these considerations can be helpful in standardizing the effect of skin tone on studies such as AI dermatology diagnoses, pulse oximetry, and temporal thermometers. Skin tone bias in medical devices is likely due to systemic factors that lead to inadequate validation across diverse skin tones. There is an opportunity for researchers to use skin tone assessment methods with standardized considerations in prospective studies of noninvasive tools that may be affected by skin tone. We propose considerations that researchers must take in order to improve device robustness to skin tone bias."

One promising potential application of such mathematical models is the study of how disease-causing mutations promote the signaling phenotype that contributes to the disease. It is commonly assumed that one must have a thorough characterization of the network readily available for mathematical modeling to be useful, but we hypothesized that mathematical modeling could be useful when there is incomplete knowledge and that it could be a tool for discovery that opens new areas for further exploration. In the present study, we first develop a mechanistic mathematical model of a G-protein coupled receptor signaling network that is mutated in almost all cases of uveal melanoma and use model-driven explorations to uncover and explore multiple new areas for investigating this disease.

The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses statement standards (PRISMA) were followed when conducting this review with a comprehensive search of the following online databases; Google Scholar, PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and CENTRAL, World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry (http://apps.who.int/trialsearch/), ClinicalTrials.gov (http://clinical-trials.gov/), and the ISRCTN registry (http://www.isrctn.com/). Nine studies met the inclusion criteria and results were reported with forest plots at 95% confidence intervals. Primary outcomes of interest included the localisation rate for sentinel node biopsies in head and neck melanoma using ICG and compared with other adjunct modalities. Secondary outcome measures included false negative rates as well as sensitivity rates for nodal detection with radiocolloid as well as blue dye. ICG reported an overall sensitivity rate of 95% with an untransformed proportion metric analysis (0.950, 0.922, 0.978 (95% CI)). It demonstrated a superior detection rate to blue dye (Odds ratio 15.417, 95% CI, 4.652 to 51.091, p < 0.001) and a comparable localisation efficacy to radiocolloid (Odds ratio 1.425, 95% CI, 0.535 to 3.794, p = 0.478). The sensitivity rate for radiocolloid utilisation in isolation was 90.6% (untransformed proportion metric, 0.906, 0.855, 0.957) and blue dye was 48.7% (untransformed proportion metric, 0.487, 0.364, 0.610). This is the first meta-analysis on the efficacy of ICG for sentinel node detection in head and neck melanoma. The authors advocate for a dual modality approach with ICG and radiocolloid to mitigate the inherent limitations of both methods when conducting sentinel node retrieval for head and neck melanoma. Further high-quality randomised trials are needed to improve the current evidence base."

To address this critical need, this review assesses recent advances in non-invasive cancer prediction techniques, comparing conventional machine learning (CML) and deep neural networks (DNNs). Focusing on these seven major cancers, we analyze 310 publications spanning the years 2018 to 2024, focusing on detection accuracy as the key metric to identify the most effective predictive models, highlighting critical gaps in current methodologies, and suggesting directions for future research. We further delved into factors like datasets, features, and modalities to gain a comprehensive understanding of each approach's performance. Separate review tables for each cancer type and approach facilitated comparisons between top performers (accuracy exceeding 99%) and low performers (65.83 to 85.8%). Our exploration of public databases and commonly used classifiers revealed that optimal combinations of features, datasets, and models can achieve up to 100% accuracy for both CML and DNN. However, significant variations in accuracy (up to 35%) were observed, particularly when optimization was lacking. Notably, colorectal cancer exhibited the lowest accuracy (DNN 69%, CML 65.83%). A five-point comparative analysis (best/worst models, performance gap, average accuracy, and research trends) revealed that while DNN research is gaining momentum, CML approaches remain competitive, even outperforming DNN in some cases. This study presents an in-depth comparative analysis of CML and DNN techniques for cancer detection. This knowledge can inform future research directions and contribute to the development of increasingly accurate and reliable cancer detection tools."

Adults with BRAF V600 mutation-positive stage IIIA-D cutaneous melanoma who received first-line adjuvant immunotherapy (nivolumab or pembrolizumab) or targeted therapy (dabrafenib plus trametinib) between 1 January 2014 and 30 August 2020 in the NOBLE database were included. Patients were followed from first-line adjuvant therapy initiation for at least 6 months, until death, progression, follow-up loss, or data cutoff. Primary endpoints were proportion of patients receiving either therapy in first-line and second-line, treatment switching, treatment timing, and status at the end of first-line therapy. Secondary endpoints included discontinuation rates, recurrence-free survival (RFS), and overall survival (OS). Of 318 patients evaluated, 67.6% received nivolumab, 14.2% pembrolizumab, and 18.2% targeted therapy as first-line adjuvant therapy. Median treatment duration was longest for nivolumab (292 days) and shortest for targeted therapy (115 days). Reason for discontinuation was recorded for 195 of 274 patients who discontinued first-line therapy; most common reasons were treatment completion and treatment-related toxicity [87/158 (55.0%) and 29/158 (18.4%), respectively, in immunotherapy-treated patients; 9/37 (24.3%) and 21/37 (56.8%) in targeted therapy-treated patients]. Median RFS and OS for targeted therapy and nivolumab were not reached and were 34.6 and 38.1 months, respectively, for pembrolizumab. These results inform on prescription preferences and clinical outcomes for BRAF V600-mutated melanoma patients in the first-line adjuvant setting."

Development of non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers could thereby significantly enhance lung cancer management for at-risk patients. Here, we leverage Mendelian Randomization (MR) to investigate the plasma proteome and metabolome for potential biomarkers relevant to lung cancer. Utilizing bidirectional MR and co-localization analyses, we identify novel associations, highlighting inverse relationships between plasma proteins SFTPB and KDELC2 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and positive associations of TCL1A with lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) and CNTN1 with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Additionally, our work reveals significant negative correlations between metabolites such as theobromine and paraxanthine, along with paraxanthine-related ratios, in both LUAD and LUSC. Conversely, positive correlations are found in caffeine/paraxanthine and arachidonate (20:4n6)/paraxanthine ratios with these cancer types. Through single-cell sequencing data of normal lung tissue, we further explore the role of lung tissue-specific protein SFTPB in carcinogenesis. These findings offer new insights into lung cancer etiology, potentially guiding the development of diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic approaches."

The agent, now given in combination with pembrolizumab, frequently induces cutaneous reactions. Here, we report a severe EV-induced cutaneous eruption. A 58-year-old woman with metastatic urothelial carcinoma developed a rash after receiving simultaneous first doses of EV and pembrolizumab. The eruption began on the flank and spread to involve her trunk and extremities with prominent involvement of folds, including the axillae and medial thighs. Skin biopsy revealed extensive vacuolar alteration of the basal epidermis and numerous epidermal keratinocytic mitotic figures, often suprabasilar, including ring and ""starburst"" forms. The findings supported a diagnosis of EV-induced eruption. With EV cessation and systemic corticosteroids, the rash resolved over a few weeks. Pembrolizumab was restarted as monotherapy, and the patient's cancer showed a significant radiographic treatment response at 3 months. An emerging literature of small series and case reports, largely from oncologic literature, presents the histopathology of EV-induced cutaneous eruption as a vacuolar interface dermatitis with the inconsistently reported feature of arrested mitotic figures. This case study demonstrates distinctive clinical and histopathologic features of EV-induced eruption, which may inform dermatologic and oncologic management."

Pyroptosis, a recently identified form of programmed cell death, is closely linked to inflammation. However, the precise role of pyroptosis, particularly gasdermin-E (GSDME), in MASH development remains unknown. In this study, we observed GSDME cleavage and GSDME-associated interleukin-1β (IL-1β)/IL-18 induction in liver tissues of MASH patients and MASH mouse models induced by a choline-deficient high-fat diet (CDHFD) or a high-fat/high-cholesterol diet (HFHC).

Moreover, GSDME knockout resulted in increased energy expenditure, inhibited intestinal nutrient absorption, and reduced body weight. In the mice with GSDME deficiency, reintroduction of GSDME in myeloid cells-rather than hepatocytes-mimicked the MASH pathologies and metabolic dysfunctions, as well as the changes in the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps and hepatic macrophage/monocyte subclusters.

We identify candidate driver genes, which as well as emphasising the major role of epigenetic regulation in ccRCC highlight additional biological pathways extending opportunities for therapeutic interventions. Genomic characterisation identified patients with divergent clinical outcome; higher number of structural copy number alterations associated with poorer prognosis, whereas VHL mutations were independently associated with a better prognosis. The observations that higher T-cell infiltration is associated with better overall survival and that genetically predicted immune evasion is not common supports the rationale for immunotherapy.

The lesion is usually located in the periorbital skin; however, lesions with similar histopathological features are rarely observed in extra-facial sites. Herein, we present four cases of hidrocystoma-like tumours in extra-facial skin sites that harboured a RET or ALK rearrangement. This study features a 67-year-old female with a 10 mm-sized digital tumour (Case 1), a 62-year-old male with an 8 mm-sized clavicular tumour (Case 2), a 61-year-old male with a 19 mm-sized digital tumour (Case 3), and an 11-year-old female with a 10 mm-size lower leg tumour (Case 4) as well as five control cases (Cases 5-9) of classical periorbital hidrocystoma. In Cases 1-4, multicystic tumours comprising a two-cell layer of inner cuboidal ductoglandular (p63- and SOX10+/-) and outer flat myoepithelial (p63+ and SOX10+) cells were observed. The inner ductoglandular tumour cells exhibited micropapillary projections and Roman bridging structures. No apparent atypical cells were observed. NCOA4::RET in Cases 1 and 3, CCDC6::RET in Case 2, and SLC12A2::ALK in Case 4 were revealed by next-generation sequencing or Sanger sequencing. In contrast, control cases of classical hidrocystoma (Cases 5-9) did not show intracystic proliferation, abundant cytoplasm, ALK immunoreactivity, or NCOA4::RET detection in the tumour cells. RET/ALK-rearranged hidrocystoma-like tumours are tumour entities that can be distinguished from classical hidrocystoma.

Besides, lipopolymersomes as a hybrid nanocarriers, integrate advantages of liposomes and polymersomes in a single platform in order to provide tremendous biocompatibility, biodegradability, noteworthy loading efficacy for both hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs with adjustable drug release and high stability. In this study, a multipurpose lipopolymersome was fabricated for guided chemotherapy-PTT and NIR-imaging of melanoma. A lipopolymerosomal hybrid nanovesicle consisting of equal molar ratio of 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium propane (DOTAP) and poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (lactic acid) (PEG-PLA) diblock copolymer (molar ratio 1:1) was fabricated. The nanoparticulate system was prepared through film rehydration technique for encapsulation of doxorubicin (DOX) and indocyanine green (ICG) to form DOX-ICG-LP platform. At the next stage, AS1411 DNA aptamer was conjugated to the surface of lipopolymersome (Apt-DOX-ICG-LP) for selective delivery. The sizes of DOX-ICG-LP and Apt-DOX-ICG-LP were obtained through DLS analysis (61.0 ± 6 and 74 ± 5, respectively). Near Infrared-responsive release pattern of the prepared lipopolymersome was verified in vitro. The formulated platform showed efficient photothermal conversion, and superior stability with acceptable encapsulation efficiency. Consistent with the in vitro studies, NIR-responsive lipopolymersome exhibited significantly higher cellular toxicity for Chemo-PTT versus single anti-cancer treatment. Moreover, superlative tumor shrinkage with favorable survival profile were attained in B16F10 tumor-bearing mice received Apt-DOX-ICG-LP and irradiated with 808 nm laser compared to those treated with either DOX-ICG-LP or Apt-DOX-ICG-LP without laser irradiation. The diagnostic capability of Apt-DOX-ICG-LP was addressed using in vivo NIR imaging, 6 and 24 h post-intravenous administration. The results indicated desirable feature of an established targeted theranostic capability of Apt-DOX-ICG-LP for both diagnostics and dual chemo-PTT of melanoma."

The cargoes determine the functional specificity of migrasomes. Migrasomes harbor numerous intraluminal vesicles, a pivotal component of their cargoes. The mechanism underlying the transportation of these intraluminal vesicles to the migrasomes remains enigmatic. In this study, we identified that Rab10 and Caveolin-1 (CAV1) mark the intraluminal vesicles in migrasomes. Transport of Rab10-CAV1 vesicles to migrasomes required the motor protein Myosin Va and adaptor proteins RILPL2. Notably, the phosphorylation of Rab10 by the kinase LRRK2 regulated this process. Moreover, CSF-1 can be transported to migrasomes through this mechanism, subsequently fostering monocyte-macrophage differentiation in skin wound healing, which served as a proof of the physiological importance of this transporting mechanism."

While RCD type 1 has a normal intraepithelial lymphocyte phenotype, RCD type 2 is defined by the presence of immunophenotypically aberrant and monoclonal intraepithelial T lymphocytes, with a high propensity to transform to enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL). Although dermatological manifestations of celiac disease are common, presentation with cutaneous involvement by abnormal lymphocytes of RCD type 2 or EATL is rare, with few histologic descriptions in the literature. We describe the case of a 66-year-old man with a history of celiac disease presenting with a generalized, erythematous papular rash over his torso, upper arms, and legs. Biopsy of his skin lesions showed prominent hyperkeratosis with underlying spongiosis and interface change. Increased intraepithelial (epidermotropic) lymphocytes were observed, out of proportion to the level of spongiosis, but not overly atypical in appearance. Immunohistochemistry revealed an aberrant T-cell immunophenotype (CD3/2/7 positive; CD5/4/8 negative), raising suspicion for a cutaneous T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. A duodenal biopsy demonstrated total villous atrophy with a morphologically bland population of epitheliotropic T lymphocytes showing the same aberrant immunophenotype. Similar cells were also identified by flow cytometry in the peripheral blood. In conjunction with the history of celiac disease, a diagnosis of RCD type 2 or 'EATL in situ' with cutaneous involvement was made. Cutaneous RCD type 2 or EATL should be considered as differential diagnoses in patients with a history of celiac disease and histopathology reminiscent of epidermotropic forms of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma."

Cutaneous involvement can manifest as scrotal subcutaneous nodules from regional spread, distant metastasis, or direct extension through surgical scars. Mesothelioma has 3 histopathologic classifications that include epithelioid, biphasic, and sarcomatoid, which is rarely seen in paratesticular mesothelioma. Given the rarity of this condition, cutaneous mesothelioma may be misdiagnosed as histologic mimics, such as metastatic adenocarcinoma or adnexal neoplasms; thus, appropriate immunohistochemical workup and clinical correlation are required to make an accurate diagnosis. In this case, a 75-year-old man with a history of paratesticular mesothelioma, status postorchiectomy, presented with right-sided scrotal swelling, erythema, and subcutaneous nodules. These nodules were identified as local recurrence with cutaneous involvement by paratesticular mesothelioma on histopathologic examination. This case highlights the clinical and histopathologic features of this diagnosis and underscores the importance of dermatopathologists being aware of this condition to ensure accurate diagnosis."

The knee nodule was also enhancing on MRI, concerning for a site of metastasis. Resection of the thigh mass and intra-articular nodule was performed. The thigh lesion was positive for MM. The specimen obtained from the knee demonstrated a proliferation of spindle and epithelioid cells associated with focal fibrosis and scattered giant cells with brown pigment, raising the possibility of melanoma metastasis with treatment effect. Additional immunohistochemical studies with anti-SOX10 failed to demonstrate melanoma cells in the lesion. The final diagnosis for the knee nodule was pigmented villonodular synovitis.

+3350,skin cancer,39008474,Malignant Dendritic Cell Sarcomas in the Skin: 2 Cases of Rare Sarcoma Subtypes With Literature Review.,"Interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma is a rare, aggressive hematological malignancy primarily originating in lymph nodes, with only 10 reported cases presenting in the skin (primary cutaneous interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma). Past presentations showed erythematous nodules on the proximal extremities, back, or face. Morphologically, these neoplasms are similar to melanomas and other dendritic cell (DC) tumors, making their diagnosis difficult. Here, we present 1 case of primary cutaneous interdigitating dendritic cell sarcomas and another 1 of malignant indeterminate dendritic cell tumor (indeterminate DC sarcoma). The first case is an 83-year-old man who presented with recent ulceration and bleeding of an asymptomatic, slow growing lesion on his right thigh with biopsy revealing a large, well-circumscribed polypoid spindle cell tumor in the dermis with atypical cells with vesicular nuclei in a lymphoplasmacytic background and immunohistochemistry positivity for CD45, CD68, S100, and Cyclin D1. The second case is a 74-year-old man who presented with a progressively darkening and enlarging abdominal skin lesion with biopsy revealing a diffuse infiltrate of atypical poorly differentiated pleomorphic nuclear cells and immunohistochemistry positivity for S100, CD1a, CD56, CD43, cyclin D1, CD31, CD4, and BRAF V600E. Our findings contribute to expand the reported literature on primary cutaneous DC sarcomas."
+3351,skin cancer,39008470,In Situ Protein Expression Analysis of Melanocyte Differentiation Antigen TRP1 (Tyrosinase-Related Protein-1).,"Melanocyte differentiation antigens refer to molecules expressed in cells of melanocytic lineage such as gp100/PMEL, tyrosinase, and Melan-A. Corresponding antibodies such as HMB45, T311, and A103 have become key immunohistochemical tools in surgical pathology for the diagnosis of pigmented and related lesions. Little is known about tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TRP1), another melanocyte differentiation antigen, which is an enzymatic component of melanogenesis and known as the brown locus in mice. In this study, we tested several commercial reagents to TRP1 and identified one clone, EPR13063, which we further characterized by testing its specificity and usefulness for surgical pathology. Subsequently, we analyzed the expression of TRP1 in panels of normal tissues and tumors. TRP1 is regularly expressed in normal skin and in cutaneous nevi predominantly present in junctional and to a lesser extent in dermal nevocytes. In melanoma, TRP1 is present in 100% and 44% of primary and metastatic melanomas, respectively. TRP1 was absent in 5 desmoplastic melanomas but heterogeneously present in 9 of 11 PEComas/angiomyolipomas. No TRP1 was found in neoplasms of nonmelanocytic lineage. We demonstrate that EPR13063 is a valuable reagent for the analysis of TRP1 expression in archival surgical pathology material. The TRP1 expression pattern in melanocytic and related lesions appears to parallel other melanocyte differentiation antigens with a higher incidence in primary and a lower incidence in metastatic melanomas."
+3352,skin cancer,39008463,Cutaneous Deciduosis: A Rare Cutaneous Lesion Mimicking Malignancy.,"Cutaneous deciduosis is an extremely rare condition that clinically presents as a nodular lesion in the skin as a scar or neoplasm. Histologically, this may pose a diagnostic challenge simulating malignant epithelioid neoplasms including sarcoma. Histologically, a nodular growth pattern of large monomorphic epithelioid cells is observed. The epithelioid cells in deciduosis can appear atypical with considerable nuclear pleomorphism, mimicking a malignancy. These features can be misinterpreted as a primary cutaneous or metastatic malignancy by dermatopathologists who are not familiar with gynecologic pathology. Failure to correctly diagnose this condition may result in unnecessary diagnostic studies for the patient. In this article, we report a case of cutaneous deciduosis in a 35-year-old woman with a cesarean scar. Histological examination revealed nodular proliferation of large epithelioid cells with pale eosinophilic cytoplasm and large nuclei with prominent nucleoli. Compressed atrophic slit-like glands resembling endometrial glands were present in some areas. Histopathological features of decidual cells, along with appropriate immunohistochemical studies, help establish the diagnosis and rule out other neoplastic mimics of deciduosis."

The patient was diagnosed with MF 6 months prior, and testicular involvement was found upon staging. The rare behavior of MF, with early visceral involvement and no hematolymphoid organs affected, had a poor prognosis with patient death 14 months after the original diagnosis despite surgery and chemotherapy. The neoplastic cells showed a phenotypic switch from a CD4 + /CD8 - profile in the skin to a CD4 - /CD8 - in the testis and the same clone, confirmed with T-cell receptor gene rearrangement studies, making this the third reported case of MF affecting the testis and the first with clonality studies to confirm it. The clinical evolution may be related to its distinctive biology showcased in the neoplastic cell's switch to a more aggressive CD4 - /CD8 - profile and the early extension of the disease to an uncommon visceral site."

The objective of this prospective multicentre study was to compare the overall response rate (ORR) and progression-free interval (PFI) between cats with cSCC treated with ECT using IT and IV carboplatin (IV + IT), IV carboplatin (IV) or IV bleomycin (IV). A total of 44 cats with unresectable cSCC across three centres were enrolled and treated with ECT using carboplatin IV + IT (n = 10), carboplatin IV (n = 11) or bleomycin IV (n = 23). Treatment response according to RECIST criteria was recorded at 2 and 4 weeks post-treatment, and patients were followed until disease progression and/or death. All three groups were comparable regarding age, sex, weight, and lesion size. Adverse events were generally mild, localised and similar between groups. ORRs were 90.0% (carboplatin IV + IT), 90.9% (carboplatin IV) and 95.6% (bleomycin IV) and were not significantly different (p = 0.79). Median PFI was not reached for carboplatin IV + IT or carboplatin IV and was 566 days for bleomycin IV, with no significant difference between the three groups (p = 0.81). This study suggests that ECT using IV or IV + IT carboplatin is a reasonable alternative therapeutic option for managing cSCC, and further studies are warranted to compare outcomes between treatment protocols."
+3358,skin cancer,39007351,Age-Related Increases in IGFBP2 Increase Melanoma Cell Invasion and Lipid Synthesis.,"Aged patients with melanoma (>65 years old) have more aggressive disease relative to young patients (<55 years old) for reasons that are not completely understood. Analysis of the young and aged secretome from human dermal fibroblasts identified >5-fold levels of IGF-binding protein 2 (IGFBP2) in the aged fibroblast secretome. IGFBP2 functionally triggers upregulation of the PI3K-dependent fatty acid biosynthesis program in melanoma cells. Melanoma cells co-cultured with aged dermal fibroblasts have higher levels of lipids relative to those co-cultured with young dermal fibroblasts, which can be lowered by silencing IGFBP2 expression in fibroblasts prior to treating with conditioned media. Conversely, ectopically treating melanoma cells with recombinant IGFBP2 in the presence of conditioned media from young fibroblasts or overexpressing IGFBP2 in melanoma cells promoted lipid synthesis and accumulation in melanoma cells. Treatment of young mice with rIGFBP2 increases tumor growth. Neutralizing IGFBP2 in vitro reduces migration and invasion in melanoma cells, and in vivo studies demonstrate that neutralizing IGFBP2 in syngeneic aged mice reduces tumor growth and metastasis. Our results suggest that aged dermal fibroblasts increase melanoma cell aggressiveness through increased secretion of IGFBP2, stressing the importance of considering age when designing studies and treatment."

Common cases include skin lesions, whereas liver lesions are rare. This study presents a case of a 66-year-old woman with a solitary extranodal liver lesion who underwent successful surgical treatment followed by glucocorticoid therapy. The patient did not experience any symptoms before surgery. The liver lesion was incidentally discovered during a routine ultrasound examination. Enhanced CT scan revealed the lesion with the characteristic of washout, similar to primary hepatic cancer (HCC). CT scans of the head, neck, chest, and abdominal pelvis revealed no lymph node or other organ lesions. After surgery, the liver lesion was diagnosed as RDD, and subsequent whole-body examinations did not reveal any skin lesions. The definitive diagnosis was solid liver RDD in adults. Although there were no typical cases of bilateral cervical lymph node lesions, ultrasound and CT examinations promptly detected liver lesions, leading to the correct diagnosis through surgical resection. The findings from this case indicate that RDD can occur in rare extrasegmental areas, and the imaging characteristics of liver lesions are not specific, indicating the importance of avoiding delayed diagnosis."

However, the molecular subtypes based on the inflammatory response and their clinical significance in SKCM have not been extensively studied. Clustering analyses to identify inflammation subtypes of SKCM based on the expression levels of inflammation response gene. We identified three subtypes: Inflammation_H, Inflammation_M, and Inflammation_L, which offer a more nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between inflammation and SKCM. The Inflammation_H subtype is associated with the most favourable prognosis, and is characterised by high levels of immune infiltrates and PD-L1 expression, low levels of stemness, high differentiation, and high genomic stability. In contrast, the Inflammation_L subtype has the least favourable prognosis, with the lowest levels of immune infiltrates and PD-L1 expression, high levels of stemness, low differentiation, and low genomic stability. In addition, the Inf-score, which is a linear risk scoring model based on the expression levels of inflammatory response genes, can be a useful tool for clinicians to assess SKCM prognosis and guide therapeutic decisions. This scoring model shows promise for clinical use in predicting patient outcomes and helps clinicians tailor treatments for individual patients. In conclusion, these findings represent a significant contribution to our understanding of the molecular subtypes of SKCM based on the levels of inflammatory response genes and their potential clinical significance. However, further studies are necessary to validate these findings and explore the underlying mechanisms of different subtypes."

We developed a deep neural network to directly predict and analyze translation initiation and termination sites from RNA sequences. Trained with human transcripts, our model learned hidden rules of translation control and achieved a near perfect prediction of canonical translation sites across entire human transcriptome. Surprisingly, this model revealed a new role of codon usage in regulating translation termination, which was experimentally validated. We also identified thousands of new open reading frames in mRNAs or lncRNAs, some of which were confirmed experimentally. The model trained with human mRNAs achieved high prediction accuracy of canonical translation sites in all eukaryotes and good prediction in polycistronic transcripts from prokaryotes or RNA viruses, suggesting a high degree of conservation in translation control. Collectively, we present a general and efficient deep learning model for RNA translation, generating new insights into the complexity of translation regulation."
+3368,skin cancer,39005293,qMAP enabled microanatomical mapping of human skin aging.,"Aging is a major driver of diseases in humans. Identifying features associated with aging is essential for designing robust intervention strategies and discovering novel biomarkers of aging. Extensive studies at both the molecular and organ/whole-body physiological scales have helped determined features associated with aging. However, the lack of meso-scale studies, particularly at the tissue level, limits the ability to translate findings made at molecular scale to impaired tissue functions associated with aging. In this work, we established a tissue image analysis workflow - quantitative micro-anatomical phenotyping (qMAP) - that leverages deep learning and machine vision to fully label tissue and cellular compartments in tissue sections. The fully mapped tissue images address the challenges of finding an interpretable feature set to quantitatively profile age-related microanatomic changes. We optimized qMAP for skin tissues and applied it to a cohort of 99 donors aged 14 to 92. We extracted 914 microanatomic features and found that a broad spectrum of these features, represented by 10 cores processes, are strongly associated with aging. Our analysis shows that microanatomical features of the skin can predict aging with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 7.7 years, comparable to state-of-the-art epigenetic clocks. Our study demonstrates that tissue-level architectural changes are strongly associated with aging and represent a novel category of aging biomarkers that complement molecular markers. Our results highlight the complex and underexplored multi-scale relationship between molecular and tissue microanatomic scales."

Rarely, ""dermatomyositis (DM)-like"" skin lesions are observed after long-term therapy. In this case series, five skin biopsies of four patients were evaluated by histology, immunohistochemistry, and next-generation sequencing of the TP53 gene locus. All biopsies showed focal basal pleomorphic keratinocytes and suprabasal aberrant p53 expression as well as sparse to severe vacuolar interface dermatitis. Histopathologically, ""DM-like"" skin lesions can be clearly distinguished from DM by marked subepidermal fibrosis, vascular proliferation, and the absence of dermal mucin deposits. In 75% of the specimens multiple, partly inactivating and/or pathogenic point mutations of TP53 were found in low frequencies. ""DM-like"" skin eruptions as a long-term consequence of hydroxyurea therapy are possibly not chemotherapy-associated benign toxic changes, but rather inflammatory reactions to complex keratinocyte alterations that clinically mimic the picture of DM. Synergistic mutagenic effects of hydroxyurea and sunlight might be responsible for this unique drug side effect and could provide a pathogenic link to the known increased risk of skin cancer in these patients."

Traditional solutions, such as free skin grafts, face challenges in maintaining attachment to the surgical site without adequate support. Nasal packing, a common approach, obstructs the nasal opening and compromises air passage, hindering ventilation. The use of a nasal trumpet has proven beneficial in maintaining nasal patency in various cases, but it falls short of addressing the specific challenges posed by reconstructive surgery. The proposed solution involves a novel device comprising a nasal cannula, surgical sponge, and fine mesh gauze with 3% bismuth tribromophenate. This combination serves a triple purpose: the nasal cannula facilitates air passage, the surgical sponge applies controlled pressure around the nasal opening to aid graft adhesion, and the gauze with bismuth tribromophenate promotes wound healing and prevents infection.

How M1 macrophage contributes to psoriasis remains unknown. In this study, we found that adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) agonist CGS 21680 HCl alleviated the imiquimod (IMQ) and mouse IL-23 Protein (rmIL-23)-induced psoriasis inflammation through reducing infiltration of M1. Conversely, Adora2a deletion in mice exacerbated psoriasis-like phenotype. Mechanistically, A2AR activation inhibited M1 macrophage activation via the NF-κB-KRT16 pathway to reduce the secretion of CXCL10/11 and inhibit Th1/17 differentiation. Notably, the KRT16 expression was first found in M1 macrophage in our study, not only in keratinocytes (KCs).

KEGG enrichment analysis identified PI3K/AKT and ERK/MAPK pathways, which were further verified by molecular docking. Afterwards, the effect of TM on activation of PI3K/AKT and ERK/MAPK pathways was validated in gefitinib-induced xerosis rats, where AKT-activator SC79 and MAPK-activator CrPic were also applied. Skin damage was assessed by dorsal score and HE and Tunel stainings. the levels of inflammation factors IL-6 and TNF-α in serum and skin tissue were measured by ELISA. Western blot was used to detect protein levels in the pathways. Network pharmacology identified 111 bio-active compounds from TM and 14 potential targets. Docking simulation showed apigenin, luteolin, and quercetin bio-active compounds in TM bound to IKBKG, INSR, and RAF-1 proteins. In xerosis model rats, TM mitigated xerosis damage, decreased inflammation factors, and phosphorylation of PI3K/AKT and ERK/MAPK proteins. SC79 or CrPic or their combination reversed TM's effect. The current study identified potential targets and PI3K/AKT and ERK/MAPK pathways involved in the effect of TM on xerosis, thus providing a foundation for TM clinical application."

There is an acquired form (AEV) associated with immunodeficiency states, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection; however, the literature about AEV is limited and imprecise, so a systematic review was performed. A search of the main databases from 1975 to 2021 identified 126 studies, of which 80 met the inclusion criteria. The diagnosis of AEV is complex due to atypical manifestations and locations, it requires a mean follow-up of 7 years, and the lesions do not change with ART therapy, CD4 count, or viral load. Histopathological findings are variable depending on the location of the lesions. HPV 5 remains the serotype most frequently associated with AEV and CEV, although HPV 20 is more frequent than HPV 8 in AEV. Most treatments have low efficacy, the most described are glycolic acid 15%, 5-fluorouracil 5%, imiquimod 5%, and topical retinoids all of them in monotherapy or combined with cryotherapy. Other alternatives include topical cidofovir and systemic retinoids with variable results. The oncologic prognosis is still inconclusive; however, the development of squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma are frankly lower concerning CEV. This review opens new opportunities for future research. Additionally, we provide clear and useful key points for the practice of dermatologists and all professionals treating HIV patients around the world."

This study delves into the utilization of 3D models for patient education in Mohs Surgery by juxtaposing different 3D modalities, highlighting their differences, and exploring potential avenues for future integration of 3D models into clinical practice. A literature search in the scientific database MEDLINE through PubMed and OVID and on the ProQuest Health & Medical Collection database was performed on the use of a 3D model for patient education. We limited the search to articles available in English and considered those mentioning the educational use of 3D models, especially for patient education, after excluding duplicate titles. We did not exclude articles based on publication year due to limited availability of literature. Utilizing 3D models for patient education within the framework of Mohs Micrographic surgery, including a 3D multicolored clay model and a 3D model accompanied by an educational video intervention, presents substantial advantages. 3D models offer a visual and tactile means to improve patients' comprehension of the Mohs procedure, the affected area, and possible outcomes. They hold the potential to reduce patient anxiety and improve decision-making. Currently, literature on the use of 3D models for patient education in Mohs Micrographic Surgery is limited, warranting further research in this area."

MMS is performed in several stages, progressively removing malignant tissue while preserving healthy tissue and achieving high cure rates. The main advantage of MMS is the ability to assess all margins through the removal of tumor layers, which are processed in frozen sections. This histological assessment of the entire margin is crucial to determine tumor clearance before defect reconstruction, usually occurring in a single surgical session.  MMS is currently the mainstay treatment for non-melanoma skin cancer, including SCC and BCC. MMS has shown benefits in treating these cancers, significantly reducing recurrence rates in both tumors. Uncommon cutaneous malignancies (UCMs) are skin tumors that, although infrequent, are usually associated with poor outcomes and worse prognosis compared to their more common counterparts. MMS has proven useful in treating UCMs, such as dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. Recently, several studies have highlighted different UCMs treated with MMS, including angiosarcoma, eccrine malignant tumors, Paget disease, and Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). Due to their high metastatic potential, MMS's role in treating UCMs has been questioned, especially in angiosarcoma and MCC. Usually, UCMs benefit from treatment with wide local excisions (WLEs). However, MMS has been used alternative option for UCMs over the past decade, supported by several case reports and series demonstrating its beneficial effects on UCM management.  In recent years, study groups worldwide have assessed the efficacy, impact on prognosis, and relevance of MMS beyond its common indications. Nonetheless, the value of MMS for some UCMs remains to be fully defined. The following discussion reviews the available evidence on the role of MMS in treating specific UCMs."

We analyzed 156 melanomas (101 cutaneous, 28 acral, and 27 mucosal) using the Foundation One cancer-gene specific clinical testing platform and identified new, potentially targetable genomic alterations (GAs) in specific anatomic sites of A/M melanomas. Using novel pre-clinical models of A/M melanoma, we demonstrate that several GAs and corresponding oncogenic pathways associated with cutaneous melanomas are similarly targetable in A/M melanomas. Other alterations, including MYC and CRKL amplifications, were unique to A/M melanomas and susceptible to indirect targeting using the BRD4 inhibitor JQ1 or Src/ABL inhibitor dasatinib, respectively. We further identified new, actionable A/M-specific alterations, including an inactivating NF2 fusion in a mucosal melanoma responsive to dasatinib in vivo. Our study highlights new molecular differences between cutaneous and A/M melanomas, and across different anatomic sites within A/M, which may change clinical testing and treatment paradigms for these rare melanomas."

The most severe complication in RDEB patients is the development of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), leading to premature death. There is a great deal of evidence suggesting a permissive tumor microenvironment (TME) as a driver of SCC development in RDEB patients. In a cohort of RDEB patients, we characterized the immune profiles of RDEB-SCCs and compared them with clinical, histopathological, and prognostic features. RDEB-SCCs were subdivided into four groups based on their occurrence (first onset or recurrences) and grading according to clinical, histopathological parameters of aggressiveness. Thirty-eight SCCs from 20 RDEB patients were analyzed. Five RDEB patients experienced an unfavorable course after the diagnosis of the first SCC, with early recurrence or metastasis, whereas 15 patients developed multiple SCCs without metastasis. High-risk primary RDEB-SCCs showed a higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in the tumor microenvironment and an increased proportion of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Additionally, citrullinated histone H3, a marker of NETs, was increased in the serum of RDEB patients with high-risk primary SCC, suggesting that this modified form of histone H3 may serve as a potential blood marker of unfavorable prognosis in RDEB-SCCs."

Recent advancements in systemic therapy have shown marked improvement in pathologic response rates, improving progression-free and overall survival among cutaneous melanoma patients, but there are limited data to demonstrate improved survival among rarer subtypes of melanoma. Acral melanoma has a poor response to immunotherapy and is associated with worse survival. Mucosal melanoma has a large variability in its presentation, a poor prognosis, and a low mutational burden. Uveal melanoma is associated with a high rate of liver metastasis; recent adoption of infusion and perfusion therapies has demonstrated improved survival among these patients. Desmoplastic melanoma, a high-risk cutaneous melanoma, is associated with high locoregional recurrence rates and mutational burden, suggesting this melanoma may have enhanced response to immunotherapy. While these variants of melanoma represent distinct disease entities, this review highlights the clinicopathologic characteristics and treatment recommendations for each of these rare melanomas and highlights the utility of modern therapies for each of them."

Our objective is to evaluate the relationships between defect size and patient demographics, as well as between BCC subtypes and the number of MMS stages. Our second objective is to compare practice patterns and characteristics of patients requiring MMS at academic centers and private practices. A retrospective chart review was performed using data collected at academic centers (2015-2018) and private practices (2011-2018) of BCC patients older than 18 years old who underwent MMS.

This pooled analysis of four prospective trials evaluated the long-term safety and efficacy of Alpha DaRT for the treatment of head and neck or skin tumors. A total of 81 lesions in 71 patients were treated across six international institutions, with a median follow-up of 14.1 months (range: 2-51 months). Alpha DaRT sources were delivered via a percutaneous interstitial technique and placed to irradiate the tumor volume with the margin. The sources were removed two to three weeks following implantation. A complete response was observed in 89% of treated lesions (n = 72) and a partial response in 10% (n = 8). The two-year actuarial local recurrence-free survival was 77% [95% CI 63-87]. Variables, including recurrent versus non-recurrent lesions, baseline tumor size, or histology, did not impact long-term outcomes. Twenty-seven percent of patients developed related acute grade 2 or higher toxicities, which resolved with conservative measures. No grade 2 or higher late toxicities were observed.

Commonly, discrete-component (and at times integrated) circuit variants of the Howland Current Source (HCS) topology are employed for injection of an AC current. Ideally, its amplitude should remain within 1% of its nominal value across a frequency range, and that nominal value should be programmable. However, the method's applicability and accuracy are hindered due to the current amplitude diminishing at frequencies above 100 kHz, with very few designs accomplishing 1 MHz, and only at a single nominal amplitude. This paper presents the design and implementation of an adaptive current source for bioimpedance applications employing automatic gain control (AGC). The ""Adaptive Howland Current Source"" (AHCS) was experimentally tested, and the results indicate that the design can achieve less than 1% amplitude error for both 1 mA and 100 µA currents for bandwidths up to 3 MHz. Simulations also indicate that the system can be designed to achieve up to 19% noise reduction relative to the most common HCS design. AHCS addresses the need for high bandwidth AC current sources in bioimpedance spectroscopy, offering automatic output current compensation without constant recalibration. The novel structure of AHCS proves crucial in applications requiring higher β-dispersion frequencies exceeding 1 MHz, where greater penetration depths and better cell status assessment can be achieved, e.g., in the detection of skin or breast cancer."

However, the majority of cancer patients do not respond to ICIs, and a high proportion of those patients who do respond to ICI therapy develop innate or acquired resistance to ICIs, limiting their clinical utility. The most studied predictive tissue biomarkers for ICI response are PD-L1 immunohistochemical expression, DNA mismatch repair deficiency, and tumour mutation burden, although these are weak predictors of ICI response. The identification of better predictive biomarkers remains an important goal to improve the identification of patients who would benefit from ICIs. Here, we review established and emerging biomarkers of ICI response, focusing on epigenomic and genomic alterations in cancer patients, which have the potential to help guide single-agent ICI immunotherapy or ICI immunotherapy in combination with other ICI immunotherapies or agents.

Skin exposure is the leading risk factor for initiating NMSC. Ultraviolet (UV) light induces various genomic aberrations in both tumor-promoting and tumor-suppressing genes in epidermal cells. In conjunction with interactions with a changed stromal microenvironment and local immune suppression, these aberrations contribute to the occurrence and expansion of cancerous lesions. Surgical excision is still the most common treatment for these lesions; however, locally advanced or metastatic disease significantly increases the chances of morbidity or death. In recent years, numerous pharmacological targets were found through extensive research on the pathogenic mechanisms of NMSCs, leading to the development of novel treatments including Hedgehog pathway inhibitors for advanced and metastatic basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors for locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) and Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC).

The color potato not only contains various amino acids and trace elements needed by the human body but also contains anthocyanins. Anthocyanins have many functions, such as antioxidation, inflammation inhibition, vision improvement, and cancer prevention, so colored potatoes are deeply loved by consumers and have good market prospects. However, at present, the detection of anthocyanin content in color potatoes mainly depends on chemical methods, which are time-consuming and laborious, so it is necessary to study a fast and accurate detection method. In this study, microscopic hyperspectral equipment was used to collect the spectral information of the outer skin and inner skin of potatoes. The original spectrum, pretreatment spectrum, and characteristic spectrum variables of the outer skin and inner skin were predicted by the convolution neural network (CNN) algorithm and partial least squares regression (PLS) algorithm, respectively, and the performance of the model was evaluated by the prediction set correlation coefficient (Rp), prediction set root mean square error (RMSEP), correction set correlation coefficient (Rc), correction set root mean square error (RMSEC), and residual prediction deviation (RPD).

Among various forms of malignancy skin cancer is most common, so there is need for the creation of an efficient and safe skin cancer treatment that may offer targeted and site-specific tumor penetration, and reduce unintended systemic toxicity. Nanocarriers have thus been employed to get around the issues with traditional anti-cancer drug delivery methods. Invasomes are lipid-based nanovesicles having small amounts of terpenes and ethanol or a mixture of terpenes and penetrate the skin more effectively. Compared to other lipid nanocarriers, invasomes penetrate the skin at a substantially faster rate. Invasomes possess a number of advantages, including improved drug effectiveness, higher compliance, patient convenience, advanced design, multifunctionality, enhanced targeting capabilities, non-invasive delivery methods, potential for combination therapies, and ability to overcome biological barriers,. These attributes position invasomes as a promising and innovative platform for the future of cancer treatment. The current review provides insights into invasomes, with a fresh organizational scheme and incorporates the most recent cancer research, including their composition, historical development and methods of preparation, the penetration mechanism involving effect of various formulation variables and analysis of anticancer mechanism and the application of invasomes."

However, their complex biological origin, genomic makeup, and genetic interaction with surrounding populations are not well understood. To decipher their genetic structure and population history, we conducted, to our knowledge, the first whole-genome sequencing study of Kazakhs residing in Xinjiang (KZK). We demonstrated that KZK derived their ancestries from 4 ancestral source populations: East Asian (∼39.7%), West Asian (∼28.6%), Siberian (∼23.6%), and South Asian (∼8.1%). The recognizable interactions of EEA and WEA ancestries in Kazakhs were dated back to the 15th century BCE. Kazakhs were genetically distinctive from the Uyghurs in terms of their overall genomic makeup, although the 2 populations were closely related in genetics, and both showed a substantial admixture of western and eastern peoples. Notably, we identified a considerable sex-biased admixture, with an excess of western males and eastern females contributing to the KZK gene pool. We further identified a set of genes that showed remarkable differentiation in KZK from the surrounding populations, including those associated with skin color (SLC24A5, OCA2), essential hypertension (HLA-DQB1), hypertension (MTHFR, SLC35F3), and neuron development (CNTNAP2).

Patients diagnosed with PsA were recruited for this cross-sectional study. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, personal and family history, and comorbidity data were collected. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed, and univariate and multivariate regression models were used to examine baseline factors influencing joint involvement. A total of 264 PsA patients (156 males) were included in the study. The results revealed a predominant involvement of peripheral facet joints. The second proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) of the right hand exhibited the highest prevalence of swelling (18.9%), while the right knee joint had the highest prevalence of tenderness (24.2%). Older age and earlier onset of PsA were identified as independent factors associated with the swelling of the second PIP of the right hand. Older age, earlier onset of PsA, lower Psoriasis Area and Severity Index and higher Dermatology Life Quality Index scores were identified as independent factors associated with the tenderness of the right knee joint. In conclusion, the most commonly affected joints in PsA are the second PIP of the right hand and the right knee joint."

While the median survival after diagnosis of distant metastases is limited to a year, yet-to-be-defined subgroups of patients experience a more favorable outcome. Therefore, prognostic biomarkers could help identify distinct risk groups to guide patient counseling, therapeutic decision-making, and stratification of study populations. To this end, we retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 101 patients with newly diagnosed hepatic metastases from uveal melanoma by using Cox-Lasso regression machine learning, adapted to a high-dimensional input parameter space. We show that substantial binary risk stratification can be performed, based on (i) clinical and laboratory parameters, (ii) measures of quantitative overall hepatic tumor burden, and (iii) radiomic parameters. Yet, combining two or all three domains failed to improve prognostic separation of patients. Additionally, we identified highly relevant clinical parameters (including lactate dehydrogenase, thrombocyte counts, aspartate transaminase, and the metastasis-free interval) at first diagnosis of metastatic disease as predictors for time-to-treatment failure and overall survival. Taken together, the risk stratification models, built by our machine-learning algorithm, identified a comparable and independent prognostic value of clinical, radiological, and radiomic parameters in uveal melanoma patients with hepatic metastases."

A major challenge has been developing therapeutic strategies targeting SOX10's role in melanoma proliferation while preventing a concomitant increase in tumor cell invasion. In this study, we report that the lysine acetyltransferase (KAT) EP300 and SOX10 gene loci on chromosome 22 are frequently co-amplified in melanomas, including UV-associated and acral tumors. We further show that p300 KAT activity mediates SOX10 protein stability and that the p300 inhibitor A-485 downregulates SOX10 protein levels in melanoma cells via proteasome-mediated degradation. Additionally, A-485 potently inhibits proliferation of SOX10+ melanoma cells while decreasing invasion in AXLhigh/MITFlow melanoma cells through downregulation of metastasis-related genes. We conclude that the SOX10/p300 axis is critical to melanoma growth and invasion and that inhibition of p300 KAT activity through A-485 may be a worthwhile therapeutic approach for SOX10-reliant tumors."

Nevertheless, the extent of nuclear RNAi and its implication in biological mechanisms remain to be elucidated. We found that reduced Lamin A levels significantly induce nuclear influx of AGO2 in SHSY5Y neuroblastoma and A375 melanoma cancer cell lines, which normally have no nuclear AGO2. Lamin A KO manifested a more pronounced effect in SHSY5Y cells compared to A375 cells, evident by changes in cell morphology, increased cell proliferation, and oncogenic miRNA expression. Moreover, AGO fPAR-CLIP in Lamin A KO SHSY5Y cells revealed significantly reduced RNAi activity. Further exploration of the nuclear AGO interactome by mass spectrometry identified FAM120A, an RNA-binding protein and known interactor of AGO2. Subsequent FAM120A fPAR-CLIP, revealed that FAM120A co-binds AGO targets and that this competition reduces the RNAi activity. Therefore, loss of Lamin A triggers nuclear AGO2 translocation, FAM120A mediated RNAi impairment, and upregulation of oncogenic miRNAs, facilitating cancer cell proliferation."

We sequenced miRs from 55 archival BCC and 9 control skin specimens and then validated these miRs by qRT-PCR assay on a second BCC cohort (18 superficial, 16 nodular, 15 infiltrative) and control skin (n = 12). Expression values for individual miRs were normalized to miR-16-5p, which was the least variant among the control skin and BCC samples. We found that (i) miR-383-5p and miR-145-5p are downregulated in all BCC subtypes compared with control skin, (ii) miR-181c-5p is downregulated in superficial compared with invasive (nodular/infiltrative) BCC, and (iii) miR-22-5p and miR-708-5p are upregulated in infiltrative compared with superficial/nodular BCC and miR-30c-5p is downregulated in infiltrative compared with nodular BCC. Receiver operating characteristic analysis demonstrated excellent capacity of these miRs to discriminate between BCC and control skin (area under the curve, 0.94-0.98), whereas the capacity to discriminate between superficial and invasive subtypes was less robust (area under the curve, 0.7-0.8).

Despite this, there is a dearth of research utilizing big data to predict UM distant metastasis. This study leveraged machine learning methods on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to forecast the risk probability of distant metastasis. Therefore, the information on UM patients from the SEER database (2000-2020) was split into a 7:3 ratio training set and an internal test set based on distant metastasis presence. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses assessed distant metastasis risk factors. Six machine learning methods constructed a predictive model post-feature variable selection. The model evaluation identified the multilayer perceptron (MLP) as optimal. Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) interpreted the chosen model. A web-based calculator personalized risk probabilities for UM patients. The results show that nine feature variables contributed to the machine learning model. The MLP model demonstrated superior predictive accuracy (Precision = 0.788; ROC AUC = 0.876; PR AUC = 0.788). Grade recode, age, primary site, time from diagnosis to treatment initiation, and total number of malignant tumors were identified as distant metastasis risk factors. Diagnostic method, laterality, rural-urban continuum code, and radiation recode emerged as protective factors. The developed web calculator utilizes the MLP model for personalized risk assessments. In conclusion, the MLP machine learning model emerges as the optimal tool for predicting distant metastasis in UM patients. This model facilitates personalized risk assessments, empowering early and tailored treatment strategies."

Its treatment plan includes a long-term follow-up and close surveillance, as recurrence is a well-acknowledged concern. BC can recur either locally or as a metastasis, and skin metastasis is a common complication in advanced breast cancer patients. It can present as a skin nodule, plaque, or erythematous lesion, and can be difficult to distinguish from benign skin conditions. The risk of skin metastasis is higher in patients with inflammatory BC. Treatment of such a complex condition is even more challenging, with poor prognosis. Here, we report a case of a 42-year-old woman with stage 4 luminal A BC who had soft tissue recurrence. CASE REPORT A 42-year-old woman with a history of left-sided BC diagnosed and treated 10 years ago presented with multiple soft tissue masses mimicking abscesses at the right lower middle of the back, bilateral thighs, and back of the neck, in the last 6 months, the largest measuring 8×10 cm. The masses were found to be metastatic BC that had spread to the skin and lungs. Because it was invasive ductal carcinoma with positive ER and PR receptors, she was started on hormonal treatment and chemotherapy.

Risk factors include extensive sun damage, infection with Merkel cell polyomavirus, and an immunocompromised state. PRAME, also known as preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma, is a cancer-testis antigen recently found to be a useful diagnostic tool in the workup of melanocytic neoplasms. However, the expression pattern of PRAME in Merkel cell carcinoma is unknown. In this study, we examine PRAME expression in Merkel cell carcinoma and explore its prognostic implications. The institutional archives at the University of Virginia were used to search for tumors classified as Merkel cell carcinoma from 2004 to 2022. All potential cases were reviewed to confirm the diagnosis, and electronic medical records were searched for clinical and demographic data. Tumors were subsequently immunostained for PRAME and Merkel cell polyomavirus. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate relative (all-cause) survival of PRAME positivity and MCPyV positivity in our study as well as MCC-specific survival of PRAME positivity. Univariate and multivariable models were created for each outcome related to all-cause survival. A total of 39 cases were included in the study. Twenty-eight percent (11 cases) demonstrated strong PRAME expression, and 27% of cases were positive for Merkel cell polyomavirus. There was no statistically significant correlation between PRAME expression and virus positivity. With respect to PRAME, the adjusted all-cause mortality hazard ratio was 11.4 (95% CI: 1.8, 70.8). The unadjusted MCC-specific hazard ratio was 4.6 (95% CI: 0.8, 27.5). The adjusted hazard ratio pertaining to Merkel cell polyomavirus infection was 0.25 (95% CI: 0.02, 2.96).

However, identifying the most sensitive biomarkers require an optimal rheological model for simulating skin behavior this remains an ongoing research endeavor. Additionally, the multi-layered structure of the skin introduces further complexity to this task. In order to surmount these challenges, an inverse problem methodology, in conjunction with signal analysis techniques, is being employed. In this study, a fractional rheological model is presented to enhance the precision of skin tissue parameter estimation from the acquired signal from torsional wave elastography technique (TWE) on skin tumor-mimicking phantoms for lab validation and the estimation of the thickness of the cancerous layer. An exhaustive analysis of the spring-pot model (SP) solved by the finite difference time domain (FDTD) is conducted. The results of experiments performed using a TWE probe designed and prototyped in the laboratory were validated against ultrafast imaging carried out by the Verasonics Research System. Twelve tissue-mimicking phantoms, which precisely simulated the characteristics of skin tissue, were prepared for our experimental setting. The experimental data from these bi-layer phantoms were measured using a TWE probe, and the parameters of the skin tissue were estimated using inverse problem-solving. The agreement between the two datasets was evaluated by comparing the experimental data obtained from the TWE technique with simulated data from the SP- FDTD model using Pearson correlation, dynamic time warping (DTW), and time-frequency representation. Our findings show that the SP-FDTD model and TWE are capable of determining the mechanical properties of both layers in a bilayer phantom, using a single signal and an inverse problem approach. The ultrafast imaging and the validation of TWE results further demonstrate the robustness and reliability of our technology for a realistic range of phantoms. This fusion of the SP-FDTD model and TWE, as well as inverse problem-solving methods has the potential to have a considerable impact on diagnoses and treatments in dermatology and related fields."

Patients with brain metastases from melanoma are typically excluded from pivotal clinical trials. When allowed, inclusion and exclusion criteria are rather selective and do not reflect the larger population of melanoma patients with brain metastases who frequently present with neurological symptoms and signs and require steroid medications. Moreover, the lack of consensus on reporting symptomatic brain involvement complicates the interpretation and implications of trial results for the overall population of patients with melanoma and brain metastasis. Here, we review the evidence regarding brain metastasis from melanoma and discuss the challenges of longitudinal neurological clinical assessments, including tools to capture cognition and quality of life. Finally, we propose the adoption of standardized tools to interpret neurological deficits in patients with melanoma and brain metastases and to assess the neurological status in the context of clinical trials."
+3468,skin cancer,38991206,Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and the kidneys: what nephrologists need to know.,"Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by the development of hamartomas in the central nervous system, heart, skin, lungs, and kidneys and other manifestations including seizures, cortical tubers, radial migration lines, autism and cognitive disability. The disease is associated with pathogenic variants in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes, resulting in the hyperactivation of the mTOR pathway, a key regulator of cell growth and metabolism. Consequently, the hyperactivation of the mTOR pathway leads to abnormal tissue proliferation and the development of solid tumors. Kidney involvement in TSC is characterized by the development of cystic lesions, renal cell carcinoma and renal angiomyolipomas, which may progress and cause pain, bleeding, and loss of kidney function. Over the past years, there has been a notable shift in the therapeutic approach to TSC, particularly in addressing renal manifestations. mTOR inhibitors have emerged as the primary therapeutic option, whereas surgical interventions like nephrectomy and embolization being reserved primarily for complications unresponsive to clinical treatment, such as severe renal hemorrhage. This review focuses on the main clinical characteristics of TSC, the mechanisms underlying kidney involvement, the recent advances in therapy for kidney lesions, and the future perspectives."
+3469,skin cancer,38991158,A Rare Case of Axillary Extramammary Paget's Disease with an Underlying Adenocarcinoma.,"Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is an uncommon cutaneous neoplasm almost exclusively located in the vulvar, perianal, and male genitalia regions. Evaluation and management are complicated given the average delay in diagnosis is two years and approximately 30% of cases are associated with underlying malignancies. The axilla is a unique location for EMPD. We report a rare case of a 78-year-old male with axillary EMPD associated with an underlying adenocarcinoma. A 1-cm tender and pruritic erythematous plaque with surrounding erythema appeared in the patient's axilla. An irritated seborrheic keratosis secondarily impetiginized along with irritant contact dermatitis was suspected. Treatment of cefdinir and topical hydrocortisone failed and a biopsy was taken. Microscopic and immunohistochemical examination showed ulceration with an underlying proliferation of atypical glands (Figure 2A) and a nested intraepidermal proliferation with pagetoid spread (Figure 2B). The atypical cells were positive for gross cystic disease fluid protein 15 (Figure 2C), epithelial membrane antigen (Figure 2D), cytokeratin 5/6, and cytokeratin 7. These findings were supportive of an apocrine adenocarcinoma arising in association with EMPD. Wide location excision was performed. Screening for associated malignancies or lymphatic spread is the primary goal during evaluation. Outcomes are favorable when the primary neoplasm is of limited distribution. The accepted treatment for primary lesions is wide local excision, although anatomic tissue constraints necessitate further research into other treatment modalities. To our knowledge, this is the 14th reported case of axillary EMPD with an underlying adenocarcinoma which may help with identification and management of future cases."

+3471,skin cancer,38990725,Feedforward cysteine regulation maintains melanoma differentiation state and limits metastatic spread.,"The inherent ability of melanoma cells to alter the differentiation-associated transcriptional repertoire to evade treatment and facilitate metastatic spread is well accepted and has been termed phenotypic switching. However, how these facets of cellular behavior are controlled remains largely elusive. Here, we show that cysteine availability, whether from lysosomes (CTNS-dependent) or exogenously derived (SLC7A11-dependent or as N-acetylcysteine), controls melanoma differentiation-associated pathways by acting on the melanocyte master regulator MITF. Functional data indicate that low cysteine availability reduces MITF levels and impairs lysosome functions, which affects tumor ferroptosis sensitivity but improves metastatic spread in vivo. Mechanistically, cysteine-restrictive conditions reduce acetyl-CoA levels to decrease p300-mediated H3K27 acetylation at the melanocyte-restricted MITF promoter, thus forming a cysteine feedforward regulation that controls MITF levels and downstream lysosome functions. These findings collectively suggest that cysteine homeostasis governs melanoma differentiation by maintaining MITF levels and lysosome functions, which protect against ferroptosis and limit metastatic spread."

Unexpectedly, dermal fibroblasts in Mmp14-/- mice commit to a large-scale apoptotic program that leaves skin tissues replete with dying cells. A requirement for Mmp14 in dermal fibroblast survival is recapitulated in vitro when cells are embedded within, but not cultured atop, three-dimensional hydrogels of crosslinked type I collagen. In the absence of Mmp14-dependent pericellular proteolysis, dermal fibroblasts fail to trigger β1 integrin activation and instead actuate a TGF-β1/phospho-JNK stress response that leads to apoptotic cell death in vitro as well as in vivo. Taken together, these studies identify Mmp14 as a requisite cell survival factor that maintains dermal fibroblast viability in postnatal dermal tissues."

Common types of cancer include skin, breast, lung, prostate, and colorectal cancers. While clinical research has improved cancer therapies, these treatments often come with significant side effects such as chronic fatigue, hair loss, and nausea. In addition, cancer treatments can cause long-term cardiovascular complications. Doxorubicin (DOX) therapy is one example, which can lead to decreased left ventricle (LV) echocardiography (ECHO) parameters, increased oxidative stress in cellular level, and even cardiac fibrosis. The apelinergic system, specifically apelin and its receptor, together, has shown properties that could potentially protect the heart and mitigate the damages caused by DOX anti-cancer treatment. Studies have suggested that stimulating the apelinergic system may have therapeutic benefits for heart damage induced by DOX. Further research in chronic preclinical models is needed to confirm this hypothesis and understand the mechanism of action for the apelinergic system. This review aims to collect and present data on the effects of the apelinergic system on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity."

These data are useful for advocating for and informing cancer prevention and control. Herein, based on up-to-date relative risk and cancer occurrence data, the authors estimated the proportion and number of invasive cancer cases (excluding nonmelanoma skin cancers) and deaths, overall and for 30 cancer types among adults who were aged 30 years and older in 2019 in the United States, that were attributable to potentially modifiable risk factors. These included cigarette smoking; second-hand smoke; excess body weight; alcohol consumption; consumption of red and processed meat; low consumption of fruits and vegetables, dietary fiber, and dietary calcium; physical inactivity; ultraviolet radiation; and seven carcinogenic infections. Numbers of cancer cases and deaths were obtained from data sources with complete national coverage, risk factor prevalence estimates from nationally representative surveys, and associated relative risks of cancer from published large-scale pooled or meta-analyses. In 2019, an estimated 40.0% (713,340 of 1,781,649) of all incident cancers (excluding nonmelanoma skin cancers) and 44.0% (262,120 of 595,737) of all cancer deaths in adults aged 30 years and older in the United States were attributable to the evaluated risk factors. Cigarette smoking was the leading risk factor contributing to cancer cases and deaths overall (19.3% and 28.5%, respectively), followed by excess body weight (7.6% and 7.3%, respectively), and alcohol consumption (5.4% and 4.1%, respectively). For 19 of 30 evaluated cancer types, more than one half of the cancer cases and deaths were attributable to the potentially modifiable risk factors considered in this study. Lung cancer had the highest number of cancer cases (201,660) and deaths (122,740) attributable to evaluated risk factors, followed by female breast cancer (83,840 cases), skin melanoma (82,710), and colorectal cancer (78,440) for attributable cases and by colorectal (25,800 deaths), liver (14,720), and esophageal (13,600) cancer for attributable deaths. Large numbers of cancer cases and deaths in the United States are attributable to potentially modifiable risk factors, underscoring the potential to substantially reduce the cancer burden through broad and equitable implementation of preventive initiatives."

Managing DD presents significant challenges due to the absence of an effective cure, with only symptom targeting treatments currently available. This study presents a case of refractory DD that showed poor response to established pharmacological treatments but demonstrated improvement with low-dose superficial X-ray radiotherapy (SRT). The radiation was delivered as a single 200 cGy treatment, which visibly improved the condition. Considering the different degrees of side effects, sequelae, and risk of developing radiation-induced cancer after exposure to moderate levels of radiation, it may be considered that we attempt to treat recalcitrant DD initially by applying a low dose of radiation in order to mitigate these undesired side effects.

+3485,skin cancer,38988206,Merkel cell polyomavirus pan-T antigen knockdown reduces cancer cell stemness and promotes neural differentiation independent of RB1.,"Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a highly aggressive skin cancer associated with integration of Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV). MCPyV-encoded T-antigens (TAs) are pivotal for sustaining MCC's oncogenic phenotype, i.e., repression of TAs results in reactivation of the RB pathway and subsequent cell cycle arrest. However, the MCC cell line LoKe, characterized by a homozygous loss of the RB1 gene, exhibits uninterrupted cell cycle progression after shRNA-mediated TA repression. This unique feature allows an in-depth analysis of the effects of TAs beyond inhibition of the RB pathway, revealing the decrease in expression of stem cell-related genes upon panTA-knockdown. Analysis of gene regulatory networks identified members of the E2F family (E2F1, E2F8, TFDP1) as key transcriptional regulators that maintain stem cell properties in TA-expressing MCC cells. Furthermore, minichromosome maintenance (MCM) genes, which encodes DNA-binding licensing proteins essential for stem cell maintenance, were suppressed upon panTA-knockdown. The decline in stemness occurred simultaneously with neural differentiation, marked by the increased expression of neurogenesis-related genes such as neurexins, BTG2, and MYT1L. This upregulation can be attributed to heightened activity of PBX1 and BPTF, crucial regulators of neurogenesis pathways. The observations in LoKe were confirmed in an additional MCPyV-positive MCC cell line in which RB1 was silenced before panTA-knockdown. Moreover, spatially resolved transcriptomics demonstrated reduced TA expression in situ in a part of a MCC tumor characterized by neural differentiation. In summary, TAs are critical for maintaining stemness of MCC cells and suppressing neural differentiation, irrespective of their impact on the RB-signaling pathway."
+3486,skin cancer,38988085,Unusual metastases to the breast from different extramammary malignancies: a multimodality imaging approach in a case series.,"Extramammary metastases are uncommon and usually related to a poor prognosis, but the radiologist can suspect the diagnosis based on the patient's clinical history and specific imaging findings. Several imaging procedures may be used to evaluate breast metastases from different extramammary malignancies, including mammography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT). The clinical and imaging presentation of these metastases is contingent upon how the illness spreads, however, they have the potential to resemble either benign or malignant breast tumors. Metastases that disseminate hematologically tend to appear as a single round or oval mass with circumscribed margins. Sonographically, they are usually hypoechoic, and with CT or MRI, they usually enhance. Lymphatic dissemination, for example, frequently reveals significant asymmetry with skin thickening and diffuse breast edema, which is compatible with an inflammatory breast carcinoma. Knowing the many types of cancers that have the potential to spread to the breast as well as being able to accurately diagnose them is crucial to prevent a needless mastectomy and provide guidance for subsequent treatment. The purpose of this article is to provide a better understanding of the imaging features and immunohistochemistry (IHC) of secondary tumors of the breast by presenting eight distinctive cases, which will enable radiologists to recognize this entity."

This study aimed to examine the risk of skin cancer following HSCT and identify potential risk factors. The search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL databases until December 2023. Cohort studies reporting standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) for post-HSCT skin cancer or investigating risk factors were included. SIRs, or hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence interval (CI), were calculated using random-effects inverse-variance models. Outcome endpoints were SIRs of skin cancer post-HSCT and risk factors, including gender, chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), voriconazole exposure, and total body irradiation (TBI). Twenty-six studies involving 164,944 HSCT recipients (allogeneic HSCT, n = 68,637; autologous HSCT, n = 95,435; mean age: 38.5 ± 13.8 years; 71,354 females [43.3%]) were analyzed. Overall, SIR for skin cancer post-HSCT was 7.21 (95% CI 3.98-13.08), with SIRs of 2.25 (95% CI: 1.37-3.68) for autologous HSCT, and 10.18 (95% CI 5.07-20.43) for allogeneic HSCT. Risk factors for skin cancer risk included cGVHD (HR = 2.86 [95% CI: 2.01-4.07]), specifically for basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (HR = 1.80 [95% CI: 1.31-2.46] and HR = 3.68 [95% CI: 2.39-5.68], respectively), male gender (HR = 1.56 [95% CI: 1.15-2.13]), especially for SCC (HR = 1.70 [95% CI: 1.03-2.80]), and voriconazole exposure (HR = 2.01 [95% CI: 1.12-3.61]). TBI showed no statistically significant association with subsequent skin cancer (HR = 1.12 [95% CI: 0.73-1.71]).

Accordingly, we developed a clinical immune-oncology gene expression assay and used it to profile a diverse range of 1382 samples with detailed clinical and molecular annotation. In low-grade gliomas we identify distinct patterns of immune activation with prognostic significance in BRAF V600E-mutant tumors. In high-grade gliomas, we observe immune activation and T-cell infiltrates in tumors that have historically been considered immune cold, as well as genomic correlates of inflammation levels. In mismatch repair deficient high-grade gliomas, we find that high tumor inflammation signature is a significant predictor of response to immune checkpoint inhibition, and demonstrate the potential for multimodal biomarkers to improve treatment stratification. Importantly, while overall patterns of immune activation are observed for histologically and genetically defined tumor types, there is significant variability within each entity, indicating that the TIME must be evaluated as an independent feature from diagnosis. In sum, in addition to the histology and molecular profile, this work underscores the importance of reporting on the TIME as an essential axis of cancer diagnosis in the era of personalized medicine."

However, fentanyl's transdermal therapy displays high intra-individual variability. Factors like skin characteristics at application sites and ambient temperature contribute to this variation. In this study, we developed a physics-based digital twin of the human body to cope with this variability and propose better adapted setups. This twin includes an in-silico skin model for drug penetration, a pharmacokinetic model, and a pharmacodynamic model. Based on the results of our simulations, applying the patch on the flank (side abdominal area) showed a 15.3 % higher maximum fentanyl concentration in the plasma than on the chest. Additionally, the time to reach this maximum concentration when delivered through the flank was 19.8 h, which was 10.3 h earlier than via the upper arm. Finally, this variation led to an 18 % lower minimum pain intensity for delivery via the flank than the chest. Moreover, the impact of seasonal changes on ambient temperature and skin temperature by considering the activity level was investigated. Based on our result, the fentanyl uptake flux by capillaries increased by up to 11.8 % from an inactive state in winter to an active state in summer. We also evaluated the effect of controlling fentanyl delivery by adjusting the temperature of the patch to alleviate the pain to reach a mild pain intensity (rated three on the VAS scale). By implementing this strategy, the average pain intensity decreased by 1.1 points, and the standard deviation for fentanyl concentration in plasma and average pain intensity reduced by 37.5 % and 33.3 %, respectively. Therefore, our digital twin demonstrated the efficacy of controlled drug release through temperature regulation, ensuring the therapy toward the intended target outcome and reducing therapy outcome variability. This holds promise as a potentially useful tool for physicians."

This trial involved 113 distinct individuals who undergo colorectal cancer surgery and intestinal obstruction surgery, with resulting stoma. The date of trial registration was January 17, 2019, and the date of first recruitment was May 1, 2019. Patients were randomized into two groups: intelligent 3D-printed ostomy bag (3D group, n = 57) and Coloplast one-piece pouching systems (control group, n = 56). The shape of ostomy and the surrounding skin of all the 57 patients of the 3D group was scanned by a handheld 3D scanner.

The wearing time, leakage rate, the Discoloration, Erosion, and Tissue Overgrowth (DET) score, and the Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS) were observed. In the 3D-printed bag group, the time to wear (0.7 ± 0.4 m) was significantly shorter than that of the control group (9.1 ± 3.5 m). The leakage rate of 3D-printed bag (1.75%) was significantly lower than that of the control group (16.1%). The DET score for the 3D-printed bag group was also lower than that of the control group, and the AIS score for the 3D-printed bag group was higher than that of the control group. The 3D-printed ostomy bags and the linked computer program can significantly reduce wearing time, leakage rate, and stoma complications.

Notch1 blockade can interfere with tumor vessel function but causes tissue hypoxia and gastrointestinal toxicity. Notch4 is primarily expressed in endothelial cells, where it may promote angiogenesis; however, effective therapeutic targeting of Notch4 has not been successful. We developed highly specific Notch4-blocking antibodies, 6-3-A6 and humanized E7011, allowing therapeutic targeting of Notch4 to be assessed in tumor models. Notch4 was expressed in tumor endothelial cells in multiple cancer models, and endothelial expression was associated with response to E7011/6-3-A6. Anti-Notch4 treatment significantly delayed tumor growth in mouse models of breast, skin, and lung cancers. Enhanced tumor inhibition occurred when anti-Notch4 treatment was used in combination with chemotherapeutics. Endothelial transcriptomic analysis of murine breast tumors treated with 6-3-A6 identified significant changes in pathways of vascular function but caused only modest change in canonical Notch signaling. Analysis of early and late treatment timepoints revealed significant differences in vessel area and perfusion in response to anti-Notch4 treatment. We conclude that targeting Notch4 improves tumor growth control through endothelial intrinsic mechanisms."

+3503,skin cancer,38984644,DNA Methylation and Its Effects on TRIM29 Gene Expression in the Equine Sarcoid Tissue.,"Sarcoids are the most frequently diagnosed dermatological tumour in horses. It is a disease that can affect various species of equids, such as donkeys, mules and zebras. This type of tumour can develop in all horse breeds, regardless of age and gender. Treatment options depend on many factors, such as the type of lesion, location, extent, owner preference and financial considerations. In the present study, we investigated the TRIM29 expression, the methylation status of its first exon and its involvement in the formation of equine sarcoids. Bisulfite sequencing PCR (BSP) was used to determine DNA methylation at CpG sites and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to detect TRIM29 expression level. Our results showed that TRIM29 is significantly downregulated in lesional samples (FC = -3.72; p < 0.001). Furthermore, TRIM29 expression was significantly correlated (R = -0.73; p < 0.001) with hypermethylation of its specific CpG sites in the first exon of this gene. Our research has demonstrated that the identification of increased methylation of CpG sequences in horse sarcoids, along with the decreased expression of the TRIM29 gene, is an important step towards understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the disease. These findings can serve in the future as a diagnostic biomarker for horse sarcoids and help in detecting the disease."

GCTs are characterized by abundant eosinophilic granules. Since they are predominantly located in the skin and subcutaneous tissues, gastric GCTs are exceedingly rare. The present study documents the case of a 52-year-old man who visited the Gastroenterology Clinic of the People's Hospital of Putuo District (Zhoushan, China) due to upper abdominal fullness. Endoscopic ultrasonography revealed a well-defined hypoechoic nodule in the submucosal layer of the stomach body. The lesion was completely excised using endoscopic submucosal dissection and the patient made a full postoperative recovery. Immunohistochemistry showed positivity for S100 and CD68, with CD34 expression surrounding the tumor cells. At telephone follow-up until May 2024, the patient's fullness and discomfort were noted to be relieved. The characteristics of the CD34 expression pattern may serve as a novel basis for the pathological diagnosis of gastric GCTs.

The condition is caused by mutations in genes responsible for DNA repair. People with FA have an increased risk of developing tumors due to DNA damage. Flat-cell carcinomas of the head, neck, esophagus, and genital organs are often observed in individuals with FA. CASE REPORT A 31-year-old man with Fanconi anemia and a history of bone marrow transplantation was admitted to the General Surgery Department due to elevated levels of the CEA marker. Before the transplantation, chromosomal anomalies, bone marrow hypoplasia, kidney agenesis, and bone defects were noted. After the transplantation, he developed a skin rash. He was also diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the lip and chronic conditions, including cholestatic liver damage, hypertension, and hypothyroidism. During the diagnostic process, computed tomography showed signs of Barrett's esophagus, numerous polyps in the stomach and intestines, and a nodular formation measuring 4.5×5×5.5 cm in the right iliac region. Laparoscopy revealed a neoplasm of the appendix with numerous metastases on the inner abdominal wall and omentum. Histological analysis confirmed mucinous appendiceal cancer. The patient was discharged for palliative treatment at the Oncology Center with a final diagnosis of appendiceal cancer, mucinous type, grade G3.

Identification of novel plasma biomarkers may enhance non-invasive diagnostics and disease monitoring. Initially, we examined copy number variations (CNV) in CDK genes (CDKN2A, CDKN2B, CDK4) using MLPA (gDNA) and ddPCR (ctDNA) analysis. Subsequently, low-coverage whole genome sequencing (lcWGS) was used to identify the most common CNV in plasma samples, followed by ddPCR verification of chosen biomarkers. CNV alterations in CDK genes were identified in 33.3% of FFPE samples (Clark IV, V only). Detection of the same genes in MM plasma showed no significance, neither compared to healthy plasmas nor between pre- versus post-surgery plasma. Sequencing data showed the most common CNV occurring in 6q27, 4p16.1, 10p15.3, 10q22.3, 13q34, 18q23, 20q11.21-q13.12 and 22q13.33. CNV in four chosen genes (KIF25, E2F1, DIP2C and TFG) were verified by ddPCR using 2 models of interpretation. Model 1 was concordant with lcWGS results in 54% of samples, for model 2 it was 46%.

KS patients have a high propensity to develop aggressive and metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Here we show in non-KS-associated patients that elevation of FERMT1 expression is increased in actinic keratoses compared to normal skin, with a further increase in cSCC supporting a pro-tumorigenic role in this population. In contrast, we show that loss of Kindlin-1 leads to increased SCC tumor growth in vivo and in 3D spheroids, which was associated with the development of a hypoxic tumor environment and increased glycolysis. The metalloproteinase Mmp13 was upregulated in Kindlin-1-depleted tumors, and increased expression of MMP13 was responsible for driving increased invasion of the Kindlin-1-depleted SCC cells. These results provide evidence that Kindlin-1 loss in SCC can promote invasion through the upregulation of MMP13, and offer novel insights into how Kindlin-1 loss leads to the development of a hypoxic environment that is permissive for tumor growth."

This can lead to pneumonia, choking, malnutrition, and dehydration. Currently, the diagnostic gold standard uses radiologic imaging, the videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS); however, it is expensive and necessitates specialized facilities and trained personnel. Although several devices attempt to address the limitations, none offer the clinical-grade quality and accuracy of the VFSS. Here, this study reports a wireless multimodal wearable system with machine learning for automatic, accurate clinical assessment of swallowing behavior and diagnosis of silent aspirations from dysphagia patients. The device includes a kirigami-structured electrode that suppresses changes in skin contact impedance caused by movements and a microphone with a gel layer that effectively blocks external noise for measuring high-quality electromyograms and swallowing sounds. The deep learning algorithm offers the classification of swallowing patterns while diagnosing silent aspirations, with an accuracy of 89.47%. The demonstration with post-stroke patients captures the system's significance in measuring multiple physiological signals in real-time for detecting swallowing disorders, validated by comparing them with the VFSS.

+3526,skin cancer,38980088,Increased Expression and Prognostic Significance of BYSL in Melanoma.,"We evaluated the BYSL content and underlying mechanism in melanoma (SKCM) overall survival (OS). In this study, we used a comprehensive approach combining bioinformatics tools, including miRNA estimation, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) of miRNAs, E3 ligase estimation, STRING analysis, TIMER analysis, examination of associated upstream modulators, protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis, as well as retrospective and survival analyses, alongside clinical sample validation. These methods were used to investigate the content of BYSL, its methylation status, its relation to patient outcome, and its immunologic significance in tumors. Our findings revealed that BYSL expression is negatively regulated by BYSL methylation. Analysis of 468 cases of SKCM RNA sequencing samples demonstrated that enhanced BYSL expression was associated with higher tumor grade. We identified several miRNAs, namely hsa-miR-146b-3p, hsa-miR-342-3p, hsa-miR-511-5p, hsa-miR-3690, and hsa-miR-193a-5p, which showed a strong association with BYSL levels. Furthermore, we predicted the E3 ubiquitin ligase of BYSL and identified CBL, FBXW7, FZR1, KLHL3, and MARCH1 as potential modulators of BYSL. Through our investigation, we discovered that PNO1, RIOK2, TSR1, WDR3, and NOB1 proteins were strongly associated with BYSL expression. In addition, we found a close association between BYSL levels and certain immune cells, particularly dendritic cells (DCs). Notably, we observed a significant negative correlation between miR-146b-3p and BYSL mRNA expression in SKCM sera samples. Collectively, based on the previously shown evidences, BYSL can serve as a robust bioindicator of SKCM patient prognosis, and it potentially contributes to immune cell invasion in SKCM."

BRAFV600E inhibitors like vemurafenib and dabrafenib have enhanced patient survival, yet drug resistance remains a significant challenge. We investigated the role of the ERK5 pathway in BRAFV600E melanoma cells and cells with acquired resistance to PLX4720 (vemurafenib) and dabrafenib. In BRAFV600E melanoma, ERK5 inhibition minimally affected viability compared to ERK1/2 inhibition. In vemurafenib-resistant cells, ERK5 inhibition alone didn't impact viability or restore drug sensitivity to vemurafenib. However, in dabrafenib-resistant cells, ERK5 inhibition reduced viability and enhanced the anti-proliferative effect of MEK1/2 inhibition.

Polypectomy and endometrial curettage showed an atypical lymphoid infiltrate. Hysterectomy was performed, showing extensive myometrial infiltration by small, cytologically bland CD3-positive αβ T cells with a non-activated cytotoxic phenotype and a low proliferative rate. PCR showed clonal TCR-β gene rearrangement. Lymph nodes were uninvolved. PET-CT was negative. A diagnosis of CD8-positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (T-LPD) was made. At 6 months, the patient was asymptomatic with a negative repeat PET-CT. A critical recent advance in the classification of lymphoid neoplasms is the recognition of indolent extranodal T-LPDs, including those of the gastrointestinal tract (T-cell and NK-cell types) and skin (small/medium CD4-positive and acral CD8-positive). However, T-LPDs of the uterus are rare. Two indolent T-LPDs of the uterus have been reported, both showing a CD8-positive, nonactivated cytotoxic phenotype, low proliferative rate, and clonal TCR rearrangement. Neither developed systemic disease nor recurrence. The etiology of indolent T-LPDs and their relationship to overt T-cell lymphomas remain poorly understood. T-LPDs of the uterus may arise from effector memory T-cells that establish long-term, tissueresident immunologic memory following exposure to fetal extravillous trophoblastic cell alloantigens during a previous pregnancy. Neither our patient nor the 2 previously reported had a current pregnancy or a known recent infection or toxic exposure, and the event(s) triggering evolution into T-LPD are unknown.

This heterogeneity manifests in diverse biological phenotypes and developmental states, influencing variable responses to treatments. Unveiling the aberrant mechanisms steering melanoma initiation, progression, and metastasis is imperative. Beyond mutations in oncogenic and tumor suppressor genes, the involvement of distinct molecular pathways assumes a pivotal role in melanoma pathogenesis. Ultraviolet (UV) radiations, a principal factor in melanoma etiology, categorizes melanomas based on cumulative sun damage (CSD). The genomic landscape of lesions correlates with UV exposure, impacting mutational load and spectrum of mutations. The World Health Organization's 2018 classification underscores the interplay between sun exposure and genomic characteristics, distinguishing melanomas associated with CSD from those unrelated to CSD. The classification elucidates molecular features such as tumor mutational burden and copy number alterations associated with different melanoma subtypes. The significance of the mutated BRAF gene and its pathway, notably BRAFV600 variants, in melanoma is paramount. BRAF mutations, prevalent across diverse cancer types, present therapeutic avenues, with clinical trials validating the efficacy of targeted therapies and immunotherapy. Additional driver mutations in oncogenes further characterize specific melanoma pathways, impacting tumor behavior. While histopathological examination remains pivotal, challenges persist in molecularly classifying melanocytic tumors. In this review, we went through all molecular characterization that aid in discriminating common and ambiguous lesions. Integration of highly sensitive molecular diagnostic tests into the diagnostic workflow becomes indispensable, particularly in instances where histology alone fails to achieve a conclusive diagnosis. A diagnostic algorithm based on different molecular features inferred by the various studies is here proposed."

This study explored the inhibitory impact of the anti-malarial drug Artesunate (ART) on CM VM through modulation of the HIF-1α/VEGF/PDGF pathway. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) confirmed VM in CM with elevated VEGF and PDGF expression. Hypoxia promoted CM proliferation, upregulating HIF-1α, VEGF and PDGF. VEGF and PDGF enhanced CM migration, invasion and VM, with HIF-1α playing a crucial role. ART mitigated VM formation by suppressing the HIF-1α/VEGF/PDGF pathway, highlighting its potential as an anti-tumor agent in CM."

Dendritic cells (DC) play a key role in initiating an immune response, but in certain circumstances they become ineffective. We investigated the role of MerTK, a receptor tyrosine kinase responsible for myeloid cell clearance of dead cells, in the regulation of DC function and metabolism in the tumor microenvironment. Tumors resistant to anti-PD1 exhibited increased levels of MerTK+ DCs. Treating wild-type DCs with apoptotic melanoma cells in vitro resulted in increased MerTK expression, elevated mitochondrial respiration and fatty acid oxidation, and reduced T-cell stimulatory capacity, all characteristics of dysfunctional DCs. In contrast, dead cells had only limited effect on the metabolism of MerTK-deficient DCs, which instead maintained an antigen-presenting, stimulatory phenotype. The efficacy of anti-PD1 to slow tumor progression and induce antigen specific T-cell infiltration was markedly increased in mice with selective ablation of MerTK in the DC compartment, suggesting the possibility of therapeutically targeting MerTK to modulate DC metabolism and function and enhance anti-PD1 therapy."

We aim to determine patient treatments and outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to uncover the most effective maintenance protocols for cutaneous lymphomas and impact of treatment interruption. Data was collected retrospectively from nine international institutions, including 149 patients. Younger patients had earlier stages of disease and were most frequently treated with skin-directed therapies including topical steroids, mechlorethamine gel, and phototherapy. Treatment interruption varied by treatment type and stage, with patients on topical therapies and earlier stages of disease being least likely to experience interruption. Treatment interruption was significantly associated with progression of disease and worse outcomes, with twice as many patients progressing who had interruption compared to those without interruption. This study may demonstrate the significance of continuous maintenance therapies, even in younger patients with early stages of disease."
+3550,skin cancer,38975881,Influence of adjuvant therapies on organ-specific recurrence of cutaneous melanoma: A multicenter study on 1383 patients of the prospective DeCOG registry ADOReg.,"This study investigated whether adjuvant treatments in stage III cutaneous melanoma (CM) influenced patterns of recurrence. Patients with primary (n = 1033) or relapsed CM (n = 350) who received adjuvant therapies with Nivolumab (N), Pembrolizumab (P), or Dabrafenib and Trametinib (D + T) were extracted from the prospective multicenter real-world skin cancer registry ADOReg. Endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), organ-specific DMFS, and overall survival (OS). For primary cases, D + T indicated an improved PFS (1- and 2-year PFS: 90.9%; 82.7%) as compared to P (81.0%, 73.9%; p = .0208), or N (83.8%, 75.2%; p = .0539). BRAF-mutated(mut) CM demonstrated significantly lower PFS (p = .0022) and decreased DMFS (p = .0580) when treated with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) instead of D + T. Besides, NRAS-mut CM tended to perform worse than wt CM upon ICI (PFS: p = .1349; DMFS: p = .0540). OS was similar between the groups. Relapsed cases showed decreased PFS, DMFS, and OS in comparison to primary (all: p < .001), without significant differences between the subgroups. Organ-specific DMFS was significantly altered for primary cases with bone (p = .0367) or brain metastases (p = .0202). In relapsed CM, the frequency of liver (D + T: 1.5%; P: 12%; N: 9%) and LN metastases (D + T: 1.5%; P: 12%; N: 10.2%) was significantly lower with adjuvant D + T than ICI. NRAS-mut CM showed increased recurrence in primary and relapsed cases. These data show that adjuvant D + T is superior to ICI in primary BRAF-mut CM."

IPEX is a fatal autoimmune disease, with allogeneic stem cell transplant being the only available therapy. In this study, we report that a single dose of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-IL-27 to young mice with naturally occurring Foxp3 mutation (Scurfy mice) substantially ameliorates clinical symptoms, including growth retardation and early fatality. Correspondingly, AAV-IL-27 gene therapy significantly prevented naive T cell activation, as manifested by downregulation of CD62L and upregulation of CD44, and immunopathology typical of IPEX. Because IL-27 is known to induce IL-10, a key effector molecule of regulatory T cells, we evaluated the contribution of IL-10 induction by crossing IL-10-null allele to Scurfy mice. Although IL-10 deficiency does not affect the survival of Scurfy mice, it largely abrogated the therapeutic effect of AAV-IL-27. Our study revealed a major role for IL-10 in AAV-IL-27 gene therapy and demonstrated that IPEX is amenable to gene therapy."

DTEs are cutaneous neoplasms originating from hair follicles that may clinically and histologically appear similar to iBCCs but are ultimately benign. Distinguishing between these two entities is important given their differing destructive potential. Herein, we describe the case of a 36-year-old female with a single skin lesion on her left cheek that was comprised of both an iBCC distinct from a DTE, as verified by histopathologic analysis. A literature review highlights the rarity of such collision tumors and discusses the potential genetic links between these two histologically similar cutaneous neoplasms."

The origin of BCC is related to environmental, genetic, and phenotypic factors. Among these, the most important risk factor is exposure to UV light triggering keratinocyte carcinogenesis, causing cumulative cellular damage that leads to BCC development. Individuals' educational background and awareness of skin cancer risk factors may influence the development of BCC. Lack of knowledge about risk factors (like chronic UV exposure, sunburn, artificial solar beds, and fair skin color), prevention methods, and jobs involving outdoor activities may be associated with BCC formation."
+3558,skin cancer,38975437,A Rare Case of Trichilemmal Carcinoma of the Scalp.,"Trichilemmal carcinoma (TC) is a rare, low-grade, malignant adnexal tumor. It is usually less than 3 cm long and arises from the external root sheath of the hair follicle, most commonly in sun-exposed areas of the body. The treatment of choice is wide local excision with tumor-free margins. We present an 88-year-old male patient who presented with an incidental large, dry, fumigating mass on his scalp for a one-year duration requiring surgical excision. The mass, initially thought to be a benign sebaceous cyst, was a 12-cm trichilemmal carcinoma diagnosed based on the histopathologic features of the mass. The specimen was composed of keratinaceous material and necrotic debris. The viable tumor was consistent with atypical squamous proliferation. The mass was fully excised down to the scalp on the first encounter, leaving no further tissue to excise. The patient's scalp site remained clean and without bleeding or recurrence. Currently, there is an increasing incidence of trichilemmal carcinoma. The pathophysiology of this disease is still unclear. The radiation from the sun is one of the factors that causes the growth of the lesions due to its location and distribution. Trichilemmal cysts can also transform into malignant trichilemmal carcinomas due to the p53 deletion. TC has a non-aggressive course despite its aggressive histology. The prognosis is generally good as it has low metastatic potential, like cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. However, TC with metastasis has a poor prognosis, and there is no consensus yet on treatment. For non-metastatic TC, simple surgical excision with adequate (0.5-1 cm) margins is an effective treatment. Different studies use different margins, and there is no consensus on the measurement for margin excision. Regular follow-up is recommended, but further studies regarding follow-up schedules are needed. Furthermore, despite the common use of chemotherapy in cases of malignant TC, only a limited number of studies have explored this treatment approach. Given the increasing incidence of the disease, we highly recommend more research to address this knowledge gap."

This patient developed severe mucosal and skin lesions after the third dose of eribulin. Laboratory tests and a skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of TEN. The patient responded well to steroid therapy, although skin eruptions reoccurred with further eribulin treatment. This case highlights the need for further study on the immunological effects of eribulin, especially concerning severe drug eruptions potentially related to its impact on microtubule dynamics and immune cell functions."
+3560,skin cancer,38975347,SOCS1 and SOCS3 as key checkpoint molecules in the immune responses associated to skin inflammation and malignant transformation.,"SOCS are a family of negative inhibitors of the molecular cascades induced by cytokines, growth factors and hormones. At molecular level, SOCS proteins inhibit the kinase activity of specific sets of receptor-associated Janus Activated Kinases (JAKs), thereby suppressing the propagation of intracellular signals. Of the eight known members, SOCS1 and SOCS3 inhibit activity of JAKs mainly induced by cytokines and can play key roles in regulation of inflammatory and immune responses. SOCS1 and SOCS3 are the most well-characterized SOCS members in skin inflammatory diseases, where their inhibitory activity on cytokine activated JAKs and consequent anti-inflammatory action has been widely investigated in epidermal keratinocytes. Structurally, SOCS1 and SOCS3 share the presence of a N-terminal domain containing a kinase inhibitory region (KIR) motif able to act as a pseudo-substrate for JAK and to inhibit its activity. During the last decades, the design and employment of SOCS1 and SOCS3-derived peptides mimicking KIR domains in experimental models of dermatoses definitively established a strong anti-inflammatory and ameliorative impact of JAK inhibition on skin inflammatory responses. Herein, we discuss the importance of the findings collected in the past on SOCS1 and SOCS3 function in the inflammatory responses associated to skin immune-mediated diseases and malignancies, for the development of the JAK inhibitor drugs. Among them, different JAK inhibitors have been introduced in the clinical practice for treatment of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, and others are being investigated for skin diseases like alopecia areata and vitiligo."

However, these outdoor enthusiasts face increased exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR), leading to a higher risk of skin cancer, including malignant melanoma (MM). Over the past 40 years, there has been a significant rise in skin cancer rates in Australia, with two out of three Australians expected to develop some form of skin cancer by age 70. Currently, skin cancer examinations are not endorsed in asymptomatic or low-risk individuals in Australia, with only high-risk individuals recommended to undergo regular skin examinations. Notably, the Melanoma Institute Australia suggests that one-half of patients identify MMs themselves, although this claim appears to be based on limited Australian data which may not reflect contemporary practice. Therefore this study sought to determine the percentage of patients who were able to self-identify MMs as lesions of concern when presenting for a skin cancer examination."

Some adverse events such as hypertension, weakness and elevated transaminase levels occurred during treatment, while there is currently no reported case about thrombocytopenia with concomitant HLA antibody-positive PTR. We summarize the critical care nursing experience of a patient with PTR because of HLA antibody positivity during hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy in conjunction with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (T + A) regimen. This paper explains the nursing measures for patients with severe thrombocytopenia and proposes nursing measures for situations where conventional treatments are ineffective. Key nursing points include the administration of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and HLA-compatible platelets, prevention of complications, psychological care, oral care, and skin management. Through systematic treatment and targeted nursing care, the patient's platelet count rebounded after 9 days, leading to a successful recovery and discharge. Subsequent follow-up assessments revealed the patient's sustained well-being. Thrombocytopenia is a potential adverse reaction during the treatment of liver cancer. When platelet transfusion is ineffective, vigilance is necessary for the possibility of HLA positivity, and prompt symptomatic management is warranted."

Among the various forms of RCD, ferroptosis stands out due to its distinct features of iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and involvement of various inhibitory antioxidant systems. In recent years, an expanding body of research has solidly linked ferroptosis to the emergence of skin disorders. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms underlying ferroptosis in skin diseases is crucial for advancing therapy and prevention strategies. This review commences with a succinct elucidation of the mechanisms that underpin ferroptosis, embarks on a thorough exploration of ferroptosis's role across a spectrum of skin conditions, encompassing melanoma, psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), vitiligo, and dermatological ailments precipitated by ultraviolet (UV) exposure, and scrutinizes the potential therapeutic benefits of pharmacological interventions aimed at modulating ferroptosis for the amelioration of skin diseases."
+3567,skin cancer,38973154,EGR3 Inhibits Tumor Progression by Inducing Schwann Cell-Like Differentiation.,"The mechanism and function of the expression of Schwann characteristics by nevus cells in the mature zone of the dermis are unknown. Early growth response 3 (EGR3) induces Schwann cell-like differentiation of melanoma cells by simulating the process of nevus maturation, which leads to a strong phenotypic transformation of the cells, including the formation of long protrusions and a decrease in cell motility, proliferation, and melanin production. Meanwhile, EGR3 regulates the levels of myelin protein zero (MPZ) and collagen type I alpha 1 chain (COL1A1) through SRY-box transcription factor 10 (SOX10)-dependent and independent mechanisms, by binding to non-strictly conserved motifs, respectively. Schwann cell-like differentiation demonstrates significant benefits in both in vivo and clinical studies. Finally, a CD86-P2A-EGR3 recombinant mRNA vaccine is developed which leads to tumor control through forced cell differentiation and enhanced immune infiltration. Together, these data support further development of the recombinant mRNA as a treatment for cancer."

The disease is multifactorial, but its main cause is overexposure to UV radiation. Currently, available chemotherapy expresses little to no results, which may justify the extensive use of natural products to treat this cancer. In this study, we reviewed the inhibition of melanoma angiogenesis by natural products and its potential mechanisms using literature from PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Ovid, ScienceDirect and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. According to summarizes 27 natural products including alkaloids, polyphenols, terpenoids, flavonoids, and steroids that effectively inhibit angiogenesis in melanoma. In addition to these there are 15 crude extracts that can be used as promising agents to inhibit angiogenesis, but their core components still deserve further investigation. There are current studies on melanoma angiogenesis involving oxidative stress, immune-inflammatory response, cell proliferation and migration and capillary formation. The above natural products can be involved in melanoma angiogenesis through core targets such as VE-cadherin, COX-2, iNOS, VEGF, bFGF, FGF2,MMP2,MMP9,IL-1β,IL-6 play a role in inhibiting melanoma angiogenesis. Effective excavation of natural products can not only clarify the mechanism of drug action and key targets, but also help to promote the preclinical research of natural products for melanoma treatment and further promote the development of new clinical drugs, which will bring the gospel to the vast number of patients who are deeply afflicted by melanoma."
+3581,skin cancer,38972133,Therapeutic implications of the metabolic changes associated with BRAF inhibition in melanoma.,"Melanoma metabolism can be reprogrammed by activating BRAF mutations. These mutations are present in up to 50% of cutaneous melanomas, with the most common being V600E. BRAF mutations augment glycolysis to promote macromolecular synthesis and proliferation. Prior to the development of targeted anti-BRAF therapies, these mutations were associated with accelerated clinical disease in the metastatic setting. Combination BRAF and MEK inhibition is a first line treatment option for locally advanced or metastatic melanoma harboring targetable BRAF mutations. This therapy shows excellent response rates but these responses are not durable, with almost all patients developing resistance. When BRAF mutated melanoma cells are inhibited with targeted therapies the metabolism of those cells also changes. These cells rely less on glycolysis for energy production, and instead shift to a mitochondrial phenotype with upregulated TCA cycle activity and oxidative phosphorylation. An increased dependence on glutamine utilization is exhibited to support TCA cycle substrates in this metabolic rewiring of BRAF mutated melanoma. Herein we describe the relevant core metabolic pathways modulated by BRAF inhibition. These adaptive pathways represent vulnerabilities that could be targeted to overcome resistance to BRAF inhibitors. This review evaluates current and future therapeutic strategies that target metabolic reprogramming in melanoma cells, particularly in response to BRAF inhibition."

Analysis of data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database revealed that FGFR1 expression was increased in UM tumor tissues and was linked to aggressive behavior and a poor prognosis. This study assessed the anti-tumor effects of Erdafitinib, a selective pan-FGFR inhibitor, in both in vitro and in vivo UM models. Erdafitinib exhibited a robust anti-cancer activity in UM through inducing ferroptosis in the FGFR1-dependent manner. Transcriptomic data revealed that Erdafitinib mediated its anti-cancer effects via modulating the ferritinophagy/lysosome biogenesis. Subsequent research revealed that Erdafitinib exerted its effects by reducing the expression of FGFR1 and inhibiting the activity of mTORC1 in UM cells. Concurrently, it enhanced the dephosphorylation, nuclear translocation, and transcriptional activity of TFEB. The aggregation of TFEB in nucleus triggered FTH1-dependent ferritinophagy, leading to lysosomal activation and iron overload. Conversely, the overexpression of FGFR1 served to mitigate the effects of Erdafitinib on ferritinophagy, lysosome biogenesis, and the activation of the mTORC1/TFEB signaling pathway. In vivo experiments have convincingly shown that Erdafitinib markedly curtails tumor growth in an UM xenograft mouse model, an effect that is closely correlated with a decrease in FGFR1 expression levels. The present study is the first to demonstrate that Erdafitinib powerfully induces ferroptosis in UM by orchestrating the ferritinophagy and lysosome biogenesis via modulating the FGFR1/mTORC1/TFEB signaling. Consequently, Erdafitinib emerges as a strong candidate for clinical trial investigation, and FGFR1 emerges as a novel and promising therapeutic target in the treatment of UM."

Previous investigations have shown that the LEF1+/TIA1- immunoprofile and MSC E116K mutations are highly associated with DUSP22 rearrangement in ALCL. However, the existing literature primarily focuses on S-ALCL. Our understanding of the LEF1/TIA1 immunoprofile and MSC mutation status in C-ALCL/LyP is still limited. In this study, we aimed to assess LEF1/TIA1 expression and MSC mutations in a cohort of 23 C-ALCL/LyP cases, along with a control group of histological mimickers. DUSP22 rearrangements were detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization in eight cases (6/10 C-ALCL, 2/13 LyP). We found LEF1 expression in five out of eight (63%) DUSP22-rearranged cases (3/6 C-ALCL, 2/2 LyP), and none of the 15 cases lacking DUSP22 rearrangements. Furthermore, we also found frequent LEF1 expression in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL; 10 of 11, 91%) within the control group. TIA1 expression was consistently negative in all DUSP22-rearranged C-ALCL/LyP and ATLL cases tested. MCS E116K mutation was identified in one of five DUSP22-rearranged C-ALCL cases. RNA sequencing of a DUSP22-rearranged C-ALCL revealed a novel DUSP22::SNHG fusion coexisting with a CD58::WNT2B fusion. In conclusion, our findings demonstrated a lower rate of LEF1 expression in DUSP22-rearranged C-ALCL/LyP compared to previous reports that predominantly focused on S-ALCL. Moreover, we observed that the majority of ATLL cases also expressed LEF1, suggesting that the LEF1+/TIA1- immunoprofile does not differentiate DUSP22-rearranged C-ALCL/LyP from ATLL."

Acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) induced by ICIs, particularly with no reported cases involving anti-TIGIT therapy, is rare. This report describes a case of AEP following treatment with pembrolizumab and anti-TIGIT therapy. CASE REPORT A 46-year-old woman with lung adenoid cystic carcinoma and chronic hypoxemic respiratory failure on long-term oxygen therapy presented with fever, cough, and shortness of breath. She underwent left pneumonectomy and radiation therapy at diagnosis 9 years earlier. She was participating in a clinical trial using pembrolizumab and anti-TIGIT EOS-448, due to cancer progression. After starting therapy, she developed stable peripheral eosinophilia and a skin rash, suggestive of a drug reaction. On admission, she was in acute-on-chronic hypoxemic respiratory failure, febrile, with an elevated eosinophil count and new multifocal infiltrates in the right lung. Despite broad antibiotics coverage for pneumonia, she developed worsening respiratory symptoms and eosinophilia. She was then empirically started on intravenous methylprednisolone for acute eosinophilic pneumonia without confirmatory bronchoscopy as she was at high risk with her previous pneumonectomy. She subsequently had rapid improvement in her symptoms. CONCLUSIONS AEP should be considered in patients treated with ICIs who develop immune-related adverse effects. Although bronchoscopy findings are part of AEP's diagnostic criteria, this case underscores the importance of clinical judgment in the prompt initiation of steroids, even without confirmatory bronchoscopy, in rapidly progressing cases. The role of anti-TIGIT therapy in this context remains uncertain."

Pre-exposure application of sunscreen can be protective, but not after damage already has occurred. There is a need for agents that can be applied post-UVR exposure to repair the damage. We investigated a novel compound, NEO400, that appears to meet this medicinal need. NEO400 was created by conjugating linoleic acid to perillyl alcohol. UVR was repeatedly administered to the skin of mice over several weeks, where it caused the typical signs of UV damage, including scaling of the skin, DNA damage, and elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines. However, when NEO400 was applied immediately post-UVR, it triggered the appearance of markers for dermal stem cell proliferation, and no signs of skin damage emerged. Furthermore, when NEO400 was applied to skin that already had incurred significant damage, it accelerated skin healing. When applied individually, linoleic acid and perillyl alcohol were ineffective, indicating that they had to be conjugated in order to exert therapeutic efficacy. None of these skin-protective effects could be achieved with Aloe vera gel, a popular and widely used post-exposure remedy. Our study suggests that NEO400 holds potential as a regenerative treatment for excessively UVR-exposed skin."

Notably BRAF combined with MEK inhibitors represent the therapeutic standard for disease disclosing BRAF mutation. At the same time, FDG PET/CT has become part of the routine staging and evaluation of patients with cutaneous melanoma. There is growing interest in using FDG PET/CT measurements to predict response to ICI therapy and/or target therapy. While semiquantitative values such as standardized uptake value (SUV) are limited for predicting outcome, new measures including tumor metabolic volume, total lesion glycolysis and radiomics seem promising as potential imaging biomarkers for nuclear medicine. The aim of this review, prepared by an interdisciplinary group of experts, is to take stock of the current literature on radiomics approaches that could improve outcomes in CM."

+3601,skin cancer,38969834,Saturation genome editing maps the functional spectrum of pathogenic VHL alleles.,"To maximize the impact of precision medicine approaches, it is critical to identify genetic variants underlying disease and to accurately quantify their functional effects. A gene exemplifying the challenge of variant interpretation is the von Hippel-Lindautumor suppressor (VHL). VHL encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase that regulates the cellular response to hypoxia. Germline pathogenic variants in VHL predispose patients to tumors including clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and pheochromocytoma, and somatic VHL mutations are frequently observed in sporadic renal cancer. Here we optimize and apply saturation genome editing to assay nearly all possible single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) across VHL's coding sequence. To delineate mechanisms, we quantify mRNA dosage effects and compare functional effects in isogenic cell lines. Function scores for 2,268 VHL SNVs identify a core set of pathogenic alleles driving ccRCC with perfect accuracy, inform differential risk across tumor types and reveal new mechanisms by which variants impact function. These results have immediate utility for classifying VHL variants encountered clinically and illustrate how precise functional measurements can resolve pleiotropic and dosage-dependent genotype-phenotype relationships across complete genes."

The use of nanoparticles to deliver medications to cells is driving the present surge in interest in improving human health. Green nanodrug delivery methods are based on chemical processes that are acceptable for the environment or that use natural biomaterials such as plant extracts and microorganisms. In this study, zinc oxide-superparamagnetic iron oxide-silver nanocomposite was synthesized via green synthesis method using Fusarium oxysporum fungi mycelia then loaded with sorafenib drug. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by UV-visibile spectroscopy, FTIR, TEM and SEM techniques. Sorafenib is a cancer treatment and is also known by its brand name, Nexavar. Sorafenib is the only systemic medication available in the world to treat hepatocellular carcinoma. Sorafenib, like many other chemotherapeutics, has side effects that restrict its effectiveness, including toxicity, nausea, mucositis, hypertension, alopecia, and hand-foot skin reaction. In our study, 40 male albino rats were given a single dose of diethyl nitrosamine (DEN) 60 mg/kg b.wt., followed by carbon tetrachloride 2 ml/kg b.wt. twice a week for one month. The aim of our study is using the zinc oxide-superparamagnetic iron oxide-silver nanocomposite that was synthesized by Fusarium oxysporum fungi mycelia as nanocarrier for enhancement the sorafenib anticancer effect."
+3604,skin cancer,38969660,GTPBP8 plays a role in mitoribosome formation in human mitochondria.,"Mitochondrial gene expression relies on mitoribosomes to translate mitochondrial mRNAs. The biogenesis of mitoribosomes is an intricate process involving multiple assembly factors. Among these factors, GTP-binding proteins (GTPBPs) play important roles. In bacterial systems, numerous GTPBPs are required for ribosome subunit maturation, with EngB being a GTPBP involved in the ribosomal large subunit assembly. In this study, we focus on exploring the function of GTPBP8, the human homolog of EngB. We find that ablation of GTPBP8 leads to the inhibition of mitochondrial translation, resulting in significant impairment of oxidative phosphorylation. Structural analysis of mitoribosomes from GTPBP8 knock-out cells shows the accumulation of mitoribosomal large subunit assembly intermediates that are incapable of forming functional monosomes. Furthermore, fPAR-CLIP analysis reveals that GTPBP8 is an RNA-binding protein that interacts specifically with the mitochondrial ribosome large subunit 16 S rRNA. Our study highlights the role of GTPBP8 as a component of the mitochondrial gene expression machinery involved in mitochondrial large subunit maturation."

The study included the total set of outpatient data of all statutory health insured people and cause-of-death statistics in Germany between 2011-2015 on county level. To identify regions with high/low screening, prevalence and mortality rates, probability maps were calculated. Scenarios were developed based on the research questions. These were used to identify regions that share both high/low rates of screening, prevalence and mortality. Regression analyses were used to characterise these regions, taking into account sociodemographic characteristics. Significant regional variations in prevalence, screening and mortality in Germany were identified. Depending on the scenario, influences of sociodemographic conditions become apparent. For example, a lower income (p = 0.006) and poorer accessibility of the closest dermatologist (p = 0.03) predicted a lower prevalence of and fewer screenings for skin cancer. In regions with low screening and high mortality, significant (p = 0.03) associations with the educational status of the population were also found. The study identified the first spatial associations between screening, prevalence and mortality of skin cancer in Germany. The results indicate that regional population-related characteristics (e.g., sociodemographic characteristics) play an important role in explaining the associations and should be given more weight in further studies. However, further studies, particularly on the spatial variation of skin cancer mortality, are still necessary."

Increased expression of inflammatory markers such as interleukin (IL)-6 in blood of patients correlates with poor treatment response. We set out to study the effect of inflammatory cytokines on PD-1 blockade in vitro. For this, we studied the effect of IL-6 and type I interferon (IFN) in vitro on human T cells in a mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR) in the absence or presence of PD-1 blockade. While IL-6 reduced IFN-γ secretion by T cells in both the presence and absence of PD-1 blockade, IFN-α specifically reduced the IFN-γ secretion only in the presence of PD-1 blockade. IFN-α reduced T cell proliferation independent of PD-1 blockade and reduced the percentage of cells producing IFN-γ only in the presence of PD-1 blockade. Next we determined the type I IFN score in a cohort of 22 melanoma patients treated with nivolumab. In this cohort, we did not find a correlation between clinical response and type I IFN score, nor between clinical response and IFN-γ secretion in vitro in a MLR in the presence of PD-1 blockade. We conclude that IFN-α reduces the effectiveness of PD-1 blockade in vitro, but that in this cohort, type I IFN score in vivo, nor IFN-γ secretion in vitro in a MLR in the presence of PD-1 blockade correlated to decreased therapy responses in patients."

In this retrospective analysis, we examined trends in incidence and mortality of ALM among racial and ethnic minoritized populations. We queried 22 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registries for cases of ALM among Hispanics, non-Hispanic Asians or Pacific Islanders (NHAPIs), non-Hispanic Blacks (NHBs), and non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs) from 2000 through 2020. Age-adjusted incidence and annual percentage changes (APCs) were estimated. Kaplan-Meier curves were stratified by race and ethnicity and compared with log-rank tests. Cox proportional hazard regression models were adjusted for age, sex, race, ethnicity, income, urban-rural residence, stage, and treatment. Of 4188 total cases of ALM with complete data, our study cohort was comprised of 792 (18.9%) Hispanics, 274 (6.5%) NHAPIs, 336 (8.0%) NHBs, and 2786 (66.5%) NHWs. The age-adjusted incidence of ALM increased by 2.48% (P < 0.0001) annually from 2000 to 2020, which was driven by rising rates among Hispanics (APC 2.34%, P = 0.001) and NHWs (APC 2.69%, P < 0.0001). Incidence remained stable among NHBs (APC 1.15%, P = 0.1) and NHAPIs (APC 1.12%, P = 0.4). From 2000 through 2020, 765 (18.3%) patients died from ALM. Compared to NHWs, Hispanics, NHAPIs, and NHBs had significantly increased ALM-specific mortality (all P < 0.0001). Unadjusted and adjusted cause-specific mortality modeling revealed significantly elevated risk of ALM-specific mortality among Hispanics (hazard ratio [HR] 1.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.22-1.75; adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.38, 95% CI 1.14-1.66), NHAPIs (HR 1.80, 95% CI 1.41-2.32; aHR 1.58, 95% CI 1.23-2.04), and NHBs (HR 1.98, 95% CI 1.59-2.47; aHR 2.19, 95% CI 1.74-2.76) (all P < 0.001).

Numerous independent prognostic factors have been investigated in an attempt to understand which are the most important parameters to indicate in the histological diagnostic report of MCC. Of these, mast cells have only been studied in one paper before this one. We present a retrospective descriptive study of 13 cases of MCC, received at the Department of Pathology over a 20-year period (2003-2023 inclusive) on which we performed a study using whole-slide (WSI) morphometric analysis scanning platform Aperio Scanscope CS for the detection and spatial distribution of mast cells, using monoclonal anti-tryptase antibody and anti-CD34 monoclonal antibody to study the density of microvessels. In addition, we analyzed MCPyV status with the antibody for MCPyV large T-antigen (Clone CM2B4). We found statistically significant correlation between mast cell density and local recurrence/distant metastasis/death-of-disease (p = 0.008). To our knowledge, we firstly reported that MCPyV ( -) MCC shows higher mast cells density compared to MCPyV ( +) MCC, the latter well known to be less aggressive. Besides, the median vascular density did not show no significant correlation with recurrence/metastasis/death-of-disease, (p = 0.18).

Using a facile and robust protocol, fifteen unsymmetrical carbamide derivatives (9-23) bearing different aliphatic amine moieties were designed and synthesized by the reaction of secondary aliphatic amines with isocyanate derivatives in the presence of acetonitrile as an appropriate solvent in good to excellent yields. Trusted instruments like IR, mass spectrometry, NMR spectra, and elemental analyses were employed to validate the purity and chemical structures of the synthesized compounds. All the synthesized compounds were tested as antimicrobial agents against some clinically bacterial pathogens such as Salmonella typhimurium, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans.

+3639,skin cancer,38964245,TG-Net: Using text prompts for improved skin lesion segmentation.,"Automatic skin segmentation is an efficient method for the early diagnosis of skin cancer, which can minimize the missed detection rate and treat early skin cancer in time. However, significant variations in texture, size, shape, the position of lesions, and obscure boundaries in dermoscopy images make it extremely challenging to accurately locate and segment lesions. To address these challenges, we propose a novel framework named TG-Net, which exploits textual diagnostic information to guide the segmentation of dermoscopic images. Specifically, TG-Net adopts a dual-stream encoder-decoder architecture. The dual-stream encoder comprises Res2Net for extracting image features and our proposed text attention (TA) block for extracting textual features. Through hierarchical guidance, textual features are embedded into the process of image feature extraction. Additionally, we devise a multi-level fusion (MLF) module to merge higher-level features and generate a global feature map as guidance for subsequent steps. In the decoding stage of the network, local features and the global feature map are utilized in three multi-scale reverse attention modules (MSRA) to produce the final segmentation results. We conduct extensive experiments on three publicly accessible datasets, namely ISIC 2017, HAM10000, and PH2. Experimental results demonstrate that TG-Net outperforms state-of-the-art methods, validating the reliability of our method. Source code is available at https://github.com/ukeLin/TG-Net."

Here, we show that, in melanoma, the cancer stem cell marker aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A3 (ALDH1A3) forms an enzymatic partnership with acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthetase 2 (ACSS2) in the nucleus to couple high glucose metabolic flux with acetyl-histone H3 modification of neural crest (NC) lineage and glucose metabolism genes. Importantly, we show that acetaldehyde is a metabolite source for acetyl-histone H3 modification in an ALDH1A3-dependent manner, providing a physiologic function for this highly volatile and toxic metabolite. In a zebrafish melanoma residual disease model, an ALDH1-high subpopulation emerges following BRAF inhibitor treatment, and targeting these with an ALDH1 suicide inhibitor, nifuroxazide, delays or prevents BRAF inhibitor drug-resistant relapse. Our work reveals that the ALDH1A3-ACSS2 couple directly coordinates nuclear acetaldehyde-acetyl-CoA metabolism with specific chromatin-based gene regulation and represents a potential therapeutic vulnerability in melanoma."

Patients with the need for skin excisions were recruited and randomized to treatment with a skin graft after a period of granulation or to treatment with an XCM. The results were evaluated by two independent observers on the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale. On this scale, scars are ranked from 1 to 10 in six different categories. Results range from 6 to 60, with lower scores representing scars closer to normal skin. The results 6 months after reconstruction were used as primary endpoint and compared in a non-inferiority approach. A total of 39 wounds in the head and neck region were analyzed. The mean results were 16.55 (standard deviation 6.8) for XCM and 16.83 (standard deviation 8.21) in the control group. The result of the XCM was not significantly inferior to the result of the skin graft (p = 0.91). Within the limitations of the study, it seems that the use of xenogeneic collagen matrices is a viable alternative to other approaches in small skin defects, and therefore should be taken into account whenever the reduction of patient morbidity to a minimum is the priority.

The high response rate of ECP in skin, ocular, oral, pulmonary, and liver forms of chronic GvHD, the steroid-sparing effect, and the improved overall survival of treated patients, made ECP one of the second-line treatments used to treat steroid-resistant acute and chronic GVHD. Recently, the development of new drugs for treating GVHD has changed the position of ECP in the therapy of GVHD and has started to be used in combination with drugs for increasing the response rate to the treatment in severe or resistant forms of acute and chronic GVHD.

+3656,skin cancer,38960479,Long-term culture of patient-derived mammary organoids in non-biogenic electrospun scaffolds for identifying metalloprotein and motor protein activities in aging and senescence.,"We recently identified TMEM230 as a master regulator of the endomembrane system of cells. TMEM230 expression is necessary for promoting motor protein dependent intracellular trafficking of metalloproteins for cellular energy production in mitochondria. TMEM230 is also required for transport and secretion of metalloproteinases for autophagy and phagosome dependent clearance of misfolded proteins, defective RNAs and damaged cells, activities that decline with aging. This suggests that aberrant levels of TMEM230 may contribute to aging and regain of proper levels may have therapeutic applications. The components of the endomembrane system include the Golgi complex, other membrane bound organelles, and secreted vesicles and factors. Secreted cellular components modulate immune response and tissue regeneration in aging. Upregulation of intracellular packaging, trafficking and secretion of endosome components while necessary for tissue homeostasis and normal wound healing, also promote secretion of pro-inflammatory and pro-senescence factors. We recently determined that TMEM230 is co-regulated with trafficked cargo of the endomembrane system, including lysosome factors such as RNASET2. Normal tissue regeneration (in aging), repair (following injury) and aberrant destructive tissue remodeling (in cancer or autoimmunity) likely are regulated by TMEM230 activities of the endomembrane system, mitochondria and autophagosomes. The role of TMEM230 in aging is supported by its ability to regulate the pro-inflammatory secretome and senescence-associated secretory phenotype in tissue cells of patients with advanced age and chronic disease. Identifying secreted factors regulated by TMEM230 in young patients and patients of advanced age will facilitate identification of aging associated targets that aberrantly promote, inhibit or reverse aging. Ex situ culture of patient derived cells for identifying secreted factors in tissue regeneration and aging provides opportunities in developing therapeutic and personalized medicine strategies. Identification and validation of human secreted factors in tissue regeneration requires long-term stabile scaffold culture conditions that are different from those previously reported for cell lines used as cell models for aging. We describe a 3 dimensional (3D) platform utilizing non-biogenic and non-labile poly ε-caprolactone scaffolds that supports maintenance of long-term continuous cultures of human stem cells, in vitro generated 3D organoids and patient derived tissue. Combined with animal component free culture media, non-biogenic scaffolds are suitable for proteomic and glycobiological analyses to identify human factors in aging.

Indeed, at the systemic level, an upregulation of VDR and CYP27B1 genes was observed in healthy controls compared to PF patients. Notably, in lesional skin tissue, the clinical and serological remission phase was correlated with high transcriptional levels of the VDR gene and conversely a drop in expression of the CYP24A1 gene. Genetic analysis indicated the involvement of the most appealing polymorphisms, rs2228570 and poly (A) microsatellite, in PF etiopathogenesis. Indeed, CAC13 haplotype was associated with a higher risk of PF development. Our findings suggest that alterations in the vitamin D-VDR pathway may influence PF physiopathology, making this pathway a potential target for pharmacological modulation, especially for cortico-resistant PF patients."

To address this, our study delves into the impact of anlotinib on angiogenesis and vasculogenic mimicry using malignant melanoma cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Evaluating tubular structure formation, cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and key signaling molecules in angiogenesis, we demonstrated that anlotinib exerts a dose-dependent inhibition on tubular structures and effectively suppresses cell growth and invasion in both cell types. Furthermore, in a mouse xenograft model, anlotinib treatment resulted in reduced tumor growth and vascular density. Notably, the downregulation of VEGFR-2, FGFR-1, PDGFR-β, and PI3K underscored the multitargeted antitumor activity of anlotinib. Our findings emphasize the therapeutic potential of anlotinib in targeting angiogenesis and vasculogenic mimicry, contributing to the development of novel strategies for combating malignant melanoma."

We retrospectively analyzed 497 patients with HCC treated at two tertiary centers. The cohort was divided into two subgroups - liver transplant (LT, 324 patients) and non-liver transplant (non-LT, 173 patients). We analyzed MPC occurrence, its impact on survival, and identified variables predicting unfavorable outcomes. The MPC were detected in 88 patients (18%). The most common MPC were prostate (17%), skin (15.9%), kidney (12.5%), and lung (10.2%). The median OS of the whole cohort and the LT and non-LT subgroups were 70, 116, and 17 months, respectively (p<0.0001). The median OS in patients with HCC only and HCC with another cancer was 77 (95% CI, 67-96) and 50 months (95% CI, 37-62), respectively (p=0.25). The OS of LT patients was significantly better than that of those in whom LT had been contraindicated owing to concomitant MPC (116 vs. 35 months, p<0.0009). Autoimmune etiology, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), HCC as the first diagnosed malignancy, and male sex were identified as factors significantly influencing the patients' outcomes (HR 0.43, 3.2326, 0.70, and 1.43, respectively). The MPC frequency was 18%. The impact of MPC on OS was not significant, except for individuals contraindicated for LT because of MPC. A better prognosis is associated with the autoimmune etiology of cirrhosis, and when HCC is diagnosed as the first malignancy. Male sex and NASH worsened the outcomes."

+3679,skin cancer,38958690,Exploring regulatory mechanisms on miRNAs and their implications in inflammation-related diseases.,"This comprehensive exploration delves into the pivotal role of microRNAs (miRNAs) within the intricate tapestry of cellular regulation. As potent orchestrators of gene expression, miRNAs exhibit diverse functions in cellular processes, extending their influence from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. The complex journey of miRNA biogenesis, involving transcription, processing, and integration into the RNA-induced silencing complex, showcases their versatility. In the cytoplasm, mature miRNAs finely tune cellular functions by modulating target mRNA expression, while their reach extends into the nucleus, influencing transcriptional regulation and epigenetic modifications. Dysregulation of miRNAs becomes apparent in various pathologies, such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory conditions. The adaptability of miRNAs to environmental signals, interactions with transcription factors, and involvement in intricate regulatory networks underscore their significance. DNA methylation and histone modifications adds depth to understanding the dynamic regulation of miRNAs. Mechanisms like competition with RNA-binding proteins, sponging, and the control of miRNA levels through degradation and editing contribute to this complex regulation process. In this review, we mainly focus on how dysregulation of miRNA expression can be related with skin-related autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases, arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders. We also emphasize the multifaceted roles of miRNAs, urging continued research to unravel their complexities. The mechanisms governing miRNA functions promise advancements in therapeutic interventions and enhanced insights into cellular dynamics in health and disease."
+3680,skin cancer,38958560,Oxidized Melanoma Antigens Promote Activation and Proliferation of Cytotoxic T-Cell Subpopulations.,"Increasing evidence suggests the role of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) in regulating antitumor immune effects and immunosuppression. RONS modify biomolecules and induce oxidative post-translational modifications (oxPTM) on proteins that can alarm phagocytes. However, it is unclear if and how protein oxidation by technical means could be a strategy to foster antitumor immunity and therapy. To this end, cold gas plasma technology producing various RONS simultaneously to oxidize the two melanoma-associated antigens MART and PMEL is utilized. Cold plasma-oxidized MART (oxMART) and PMEL (oxPMEL) are heavily decorated with oxPTMs as determined by mass spectrometry. Immunization with oxidized MART or PMEL vaccines prior to challenge with viable melanoma cells correlated with significant changes in cytokine secretion and altered T-cell differentiation of tumor-infiltrated leukocytes (TILs). oxMART promoted the activity of cytotoxic central memory T-cells, while oxPMEL led to increased proliferation of cytotoxic effector T-cells. Similar T-cell results are observed after incubating splenocytes of tumor-bearing mice with B16F10 melanoma cells. This study, for the first time, provides evidence of the importance of oxidative modifications of two melanoma-associated antigens in eliciting anticancer immunity."

Among the different metallic systems studied, copper is an affordable and biologically available metal with a high redox potential. Copper-based nanoparticles are widely used in anticancer studies owing to their ability to react with intracellular glutathione (GSH) to induce a Fenton-like reaction. However, considering the high metastatic potential and versatility of the tumor microenvironment, modalities with a single therapeutic agent may not be effective. Hence, to enhance the efficiency of chemotherapeutic drugs, repurposing them or conjugating them with other modalities is essential. Omeprazole is an FDA-approved proton pump inhibitor used in clinics for the treatment of ulcers. Omeprazole has also been studied for its ability to sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapy and induce apoptosis. Herein, we report a nanosystem comprising of copper nanoparticles encapsulating omeprazole (CuOzL) against B16 melanoma cells. The developed nanoformulation exerted significant synergistic anticancer activity when compared with either copper nanoparticles or omeprazole alone by inducing cell death through excessive ROS generation and subsequent mitochondrial damage."

This phenomenon is called melanoma of unknown primary (MUP), which was first recorded in 1963.Melanoma can also rarely present as tumoral melanosis, which has completely regressed. By definition, this does not have viable melanocytes and histologically presents as an infiltration of melanophages and melanin. A 71-year-old female presented for dermatologic evaluation after being found to have melanoma of unknown primary (MUP). The MUP, located in multiple lymph nodes of the left superior and inferior inguinal region, was found on preoperative imaging indicated for surgical management of endometrial carcinoma. After the biopsy, a positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scan was performed to determine the extent of involvement, which noted focal uptake of the left heel of just medial to midline with an SUV max of 2.1. Based on the PET-CT findings, the patient was questioned about the lesion on her heel. She had suspected this was due to friction and stated it had been asymptomatic and present for years. This unique case demonstrates that combined total skin examination and whole-body radiologic imaging (preferably PET-CT) are both critical elements in the evaluation of MUP. Since melanoma of unknown primary is at least American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8 Stage III (due to N1 status), imaging is reasonable in these patients."

+3690,skin cancer,38956962,Predictors of Local Invasion in Infiltrative Basal Cell Carcinoma: Tumour Budding Outperforms the WHO Subtyping.,"Tumour budding (TB) correlates with increased local invasion in various neoplasms. Certain basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) exhibit local aggressiveness. Detecting adverse prognostic factors in partial biopsies could aid in identifying cases with heightened local risk. The absolute number of TB (≤ 3 tumour cells) in excision specimens of 271 infiltrative BCCs (0: absent; 1: 1-2 foci; 2: ≥ 3 foci; 3: ≥ 10 foci), the histopathological subtype and depth of infiltration, perineural invasion, and other histological features were evaluated. A significant correlation was found between TB and both depth of infiltration (rho 0.445, p < 0.001) and perineural invasion (p = 0.009). In the multivariate analysis of depth and perineural invasion (multiple regression, stepwise), TB was identified as a significant covariate together with diameter, inflammation, and perineural invasion for the former, and depth for the latter. Conversely, no correlation existed between the WHO histological subtypes (infiltrating, sclerosing, and micronodular), and depth of infiltration or perineural invasion. This study demonstrates the value of TB as a biomarker for local invasiveness in BCC. In routine practice, a count of ≥ 3 TB foci in lesions incompletely excised or with narrow tumour-free surgical margins would be a straightforward and reproducible method to guide BCC treatment."

+3695,skin cancer,38956168,Structural basis of MALAT1 RNA maturation and mascRNA biogenesis.,"The metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) has key roles in regulating transcription, splicing, tumorigenesis, etc. Its maturation and stabilization require precise processing by RNase P, which simultaneously initiates the biogenesis of a 3' cytoplasmic MALAT1-associated small cytoplasmic RNA (mascRNA). mascRNA was proposed to fold into a transfer RNA (tRNA)-like secondary structure but lacks eight conserved linking residues required by the canonical tRNA fold. Here we report crystal structures of human mascRNA before and after processing, which reveal an ultracompact, quasi-tRNA-like structure. Despite lacking all linker residues, mascRNA faithfully recreates the characteristic 'elbow' feature of tRNAs to recruit RNase P and ElaC homolog protein 2 (ELAC2) for processing, which exhibit distinct substrate specificities. Rotation and repositioning of the D-stem and anticodon regions preclude mascRNA from aminoacylation, avoiding interference with translation. Therefore, a class of metazoan lncRNA loci uses a previously unrecognized, unusually streamlined quasi-tRNA architecture to recruit select tRNA-processing enzymes while excluding others to drive bespoke RNA biogenesis, processing and maturation."

+3702,skin cancer,38955126,SPMLD: A skin pathological image dataset for non-melanoma with detailed lesion area annotation.,"Skin tumors are the most common tumors in humans and the clinical characteristics of three common non-melanoma tumors (IDN, SK, BCC) are similar, resulting in a high misdiagnosis rate. The accurate differential diagnosis of these tumors needs to be judged based on pathological images. However, a shortage of experienced dermatological pathologists leads to bias in the diagnostic accuracy of these skin tumors in China. In this paper, we establish a skin pathological image dataset, SPMLD, for three non-melanoma to achieve automatic and accurate intelligent identification for them. Meanwhile, we propose a lesion-area-based enhanced classification network with the KLS module and an attention module. Specifically, we first collect thousands of H&E-stained tissue sections from patients with clinically and pathologically confirmed IDN, SK, and BCC from a single-center hospital. Then, we scan them to construct a pathological image dataset of these three skin tumors. Furthermore, we mark the complete lesion area of the entire pathology image to better learn the pathologist's diagnosis process. In addition, we applied the proposed network for lesion classification prediction on the SPMLD dataset. Finally, we conduct a series of experiments to demonstrate that this annotation and our network can effectively improve the classification results of various networks.

The function and molecular mechanisms of exosomal miRNA in BRAFi resistance of melanoma have not been studied. We found that the expression of miR-19a in BRAFi resistant melanoma cells was significantly higher than that in sensitive cells, and miR-19a contributes to the resistance of melanoma cells to BRAFi by targeting immunoglobulin-like domains protein 1 (LRIG1). miR-19a was highly enriched in exosomes secreted from BRAFi resistant melanoma cells, and these exosomal miR-19a promote the spread of BRAFi resistant. The reactivation of Protein kinase B (AKT) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways is the main reason for the BRAFi resistant of melanoma cells. We demonstrated that exosomal miR-19a derived from melanoma cell promotes the formation and spread of BRAFi resistant in melanoma through targeting LRIG1 to reactivate AKT and MAPK pathway. Therefore, miR-19a may serve as a potential therapeutic target in melanoma patients with acquired drug resistance."

Besides, cellular plasticity limits better outcomes of the advanced and therapy-resistant patients. Peroxiredoxins (PRDXs) control cellular processes through direct hydrogen peroxide oxidation or by redox-relaying processes. Here, we demonstrated that PRDX2 could act as a modulator of multiple EMT markers in NRAS-mutated melanomas. PRDX2 knockdown lead to phenotypic changes towards invasion in human reconstructed skin and the treatment with a PRDX mimetic (gliotoxin), decreased migration in PRDX2-deficient cells. We also confirmed the favorable clinical outcome of patients expressing PRDX2 in a large primary melanoma cohort.

Therefore, the interaction between DCs and Treg cells, DC-Treg crosstalk, could contribute to controlling health and disease. We recently found that unique DC-Treg crosstalk plays a role in several conditions. First, Treg cells are expanded in ultraviolet B (UVB)-exposed skin by interacting with DCs, and the UVB-expanded Treg cells have a healing function. Second, manipulating DC-Treg crosstalk can induce effective acquired immune responses against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 antigens without adjuvants. Third, Treg cells with a special feature interact with DCs in the tumor microenvironment of human head and neck cancer, which may contribute to the prognosis. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of DC-Treg crosstalk may provide a novel strategy to control health and disease."

It is characterized by an aggressive phenotype with a poor prognosis and a low response rate to approved treatments. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical features, treatments, and outcomes of patients diagnosed with mucosal melanoma treated with axitinib ± anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) therapy at a single US referral center between 2018 and 2021. Radiologic response was assessed according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), v1.1. Twenty-three patients were included in this study. In all, 78% were females with a median age of 62 years. The originating site of mucosal melanoma was the sinonasal (35%), genitourinary (35%), and gastrointestinal (30%) tracts. Sixty-five percent of patients had M1c or M1d disease and 0% had BRAF V600 mutations detected. The majority (96%) had prior treatment inclusive of anti-PD-1, with a median of 2 prior lines, and 78% of patients received a combination of axitinib and PD-1 and the median duration of treatment was 3.2 months. The overall response rate was 13% and the disease control rate was 26%. The median progression-free survival was 3.2 months, and the median overall survival was 8.2 months. Overall, the regimen was well tolerated with 39% of patients requiring dose reduction and 9% requiring treatment cessation. Axitinib with anti-PD-1 therapy has modest clinical activity in heavily pretreated patients with mucosal melanoma outside of Asia, including some with long-term benefits. This data supports the worldwide clinical trials evaluating this combination and the role of incorporating vascular endothelial growth factor-based therapy in the therapeutic paradigm for patients with mucosal melanoma."

Multi-omics studies have revealed that DHPS regulates m6A modification and maintains mRNA stability in melanoma cells. Mechanistically, DHPS activates the hypusination of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) to assist METTL3 localizing on its mRNA for m6A modification, then promoting METTL3 expression. Structure-based design, synthesis, and activity screening yielded the hit compound GL-1 as a DHPS inhibitor. Notably, GL-1 directly inhibits DHPS binding to eIF5A, whereas GC-7 cannot.

Treatment options for melanoma patients are limited and typically involve surgical excision of moles and chemotherapy. Survival has been improved in recent years through targeted small molecule inhibitors and antibody-based immunotherapies. However, the long-term side effects that arise from taking chemotherapies can negatively impact the lives of patients because they lack specificity and impact healthy cells along with the cancer cells. Antibody-drug conjugates are a promising new class of drugs for the treatment of melanoma. This review focuses on the development of antibody-drug conjugates for melanoma and discusses the existing clinical trials of antibody-drug conjugates and their use as a melanoma treatment. So far, the antibody-drug conjugates have struggled from efficacy problems, with modest effects at best, leading many to be discontinued for melanoma. At the same time, conjugates such as AMT-253, targeting melanoma cell adhesion molecule, and mecbotamab vedotin  targeting AXL receptor tyrosine kinase, are among the most exciting for melanoma treatment in the future."

However, the complication rates, surgical variables, and oncologic safety of minimally invasive nipple-sparing mastectomy (MINSM) have not been fully addressed. We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs that compared MINSM with conventional nipple-sparing mastectomy (CNSM), both followed by Prosthesis Breast Reconstruction (PBR). The main outcomes observed included overall complications, (Grade III) complications, skin and nipple necrosis, wound dehiscence, infection, seroma, hematoma, implant loss, and oncologic safety (positive margins and recurrence). Secondary outcomes included operation time, blood loss, hospital stay, cost-effectiveness, and patient satisfaction. Binary and continuous variables were compared using odds ratios (OR) and mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). A total of 10 studies involving 2,166 patients were included. There were no statistically significant differences between MINSM and CNSM in terms of skin necrosis, wound dehiscence, infection, seroma, hematoma, implant loss, or oncologic safety. However, MINSM significantly reduced overall complications (OR = 0. 74, 95% CI [0. 58, 0. 94], p = 0. 01) and (Grade III) complications (OR = 0. 47, 95% CI [0. 31, 0. 71], p = 0. 0003). Nipple necrosis events were also significantly reduced in the MINSM group (OR = 0. 49, 95% CI [0. 30, 0. 80], p = 0. 005). Patient satisfaction improved notably in the MINSM group. Additionally, compared with the CNSM group, the MINSM group had longer operating times (MD = 46. 88, 95% CI [19. 55, 74. 21], p = 0. 0008) and hospital stays (MD = 1. 39, 95% CI [0. 65, 2. 12], p < 0. 001), while intraoperative blood loss was significantly reduced (MD = -29. 05, 95% CI [-36. 20, -21. 90], p < 0. 001). Compared with CNSM, MINSM offers advantages in reducing complications and intraoperative blood loss, as well as improving aesthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction. Therefore, MINSM may become a viable option for breast surgery. Nevertheless, a long-term evaluation of the oncologic safety of this approach is necessary to ensure its efficacy and safety for patients."

The intricate molecular architecture of circadian clocks, their hierarchical organization within the mammalian body, and their pivotal roles in organ physiology highlight the complexity and significance of these internal timekeeping mechanisms. In humans, circadian phenotypes exhibit considerable variability among individuals and throughout the individual's lifespan. A fundamental challenge in mechanistic studies of human chronobiology arises from the difficulty of conducting serial sampling from most organs. The concept of studying circadian clocks in vitro relies on the groundbreaking discovery by Ueli Schibler and colleagues that nearly every cell in the body harbours autonomous molecular oscillators. The advent of circadian bioluminescent reporters has provided a new perspective for this approach, enabling high-resolution continuous measurements of cell-autonomous clocks in cultured cells, following in vitro synchronization pulse. The work by Steven A. Brown has provided compelling evidence that clock characteristics assessed in primary mouse and human skin fibroblasts cultured in vitro represent a reliable estimation of internal clock properties in vivo. The in vitro approach for studying molecular human clocks in cultured explants and primary cells, pioneered by Steve Brown, represents an invaluable tool for assessing inter-individual differences in circadian characteristics alongside comprehensive genetic, biochemical and functional analyses. In a broader context, this reliable and minimally invasive approach offers a unique perspective for unravelling the functional inputs and outputs of oscillators operative in nearly any human tissue in physiological contexts and across various pathologies."

One of the major critical issues in the treatment of oncological patients is represented by the development of toxicity and resistance to the available therapies. Great progress has been made in the field of nanotechnologies to limit the unwanted effects of anti-cancer treatments. We explored the potential of creating oil-in-water nanoemulsions composed of oleic acid, as a bioactive carrier for lipophilic drug delivery. This bioactive nanoemulsion was loaded with Curcumin, a natural fluorescent lipophilic compound, used as a model drug to evaluate nanoemulsion capability to: i) encapsulate the lipophilic moiety; ii) interact with the specific cells, and iii) improve the efficacy of the loaded model drug compared to the free one. Therefore, we evaluated the physical-chemical features of Curcumin-loaded nanoemulsions, confirming their pH sensibility and their stability over time. Moreover, the nanoemulsions were able to preserve the loaded Curcumin by degradation/destabilization phenomena. Finally, we verified some of the biological functions of Curcumin delivered by nanoemulsions in the B16F10 melanoma cell line. We obtained evidence of the biological action of Curcumin, suggesting oleic-based nanoemulsions as an efficient nanocarrier for lipophilic drug delivery."

While toxic to dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease, α-synuclein is highly beneficial for primary and metastatic melanoma cells. To gain detailed insights into this exact opposite role of α-synuclein in advanced melanoma, we performed proteomic studies of high-level α-synuclein-expressing human melanoma cell lines that were treated with the diphenyl-pyrazole small-molecule compound anle138b, which binds to and interferes with the oligomeric structure of α-synuclein. We also performed proteomic and transcriptomic studies of human melanoma xenografts that were treated systemically with the anle138b compound. The results reveal that interfering with oligomerized α-synuclein in the melanoma cells in these tumor xenografts led to a substantial upregulation and expression of major histocompatibility complex proteins, which are pertinent to enhancing anti-melanoma immune responses."
+3741,skin cancer,38950189,Reciprocal Interaction with Neutrophils Facilitates Cutaneous Accumulation of Liposomes.,"Liposomes are versatile drug delivery systems in clinical use for cancer and many other diseases. Unfortunately, PEGylated liposomal doxorubicin (sLip/DOX) exhibits serious dose-limiting cutaneous toxicities, which are closely related to the extravascular accumulation of sLip/DOX in the dermis. No clinical interventions have been proposed for cutaneous toxicities due to the elusive transport pathways. Herein, we showed that the reciprocal interaction between liposomes and neutrophils played pivotal roles in liposome extravasation into the dermis. Neutrophils captured liposomes via the complement receptor 3 (CD11b/CD18) recognizing the fragment of complement component C3 (iC3b) deposited on the liposomal surface. Uptake of liposomes also activated neutrophils to induce CD11b upregulation and enhanced the ability of neutrophils to migrate outside the capillaries. Furthermore, inhibition of complement activation either by CRIg-L-FH (a C3b/iC3b targeted complement inhibitor) or blocking the phosphate negative charge in mPEG-DSPE could significantly reduce liposome uptake by neutrophils and alleviate the cutaneous accumulation of liposomes. These results validated the liposome extravasation pathway mediated by neutrophils and provided potential solutions to the devastating cutaneous toxicities occurring during sLip/DOX treatment."

Loss of FH leads to accumulation of fumarate, an oncometabolite that disrupts multiple cellular processes and drives tumor progression. High levels of fumarate inhibit alpha ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, including the ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzymes, and can lead to global DNA hypermethylation. Here, we report patterns of hypermethylation in FH-mutant cell lines and tumor samples are associated with the silencing of nicotinate phosphoribosyl transferase (NAPRT), a rate-limiting enzyme in the Preiss-Handler pathway of NAD+ biosynthesis, in a subset of HLRCC cases. NAPRT is hypermethylated at a CpG island in the promoter in cell line models and patient samples, resulting in loss of NAPRT expression. We find that FH-deficient RCC models with loss of NAPRT expression, as well as other oncometabolite-producing cancer models that silence NAPRT, are extremely sensitive to nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase inhibitors (NAMPTi). NAPRT silencing was also associated with synergistic tumor cell killing with PARP inhibitors and NAMPTis, which was associated with effects on PAR-mediated DNA repair. Overall, our findings indicate that NAPRT silencing can be targeted in oncometabolite-producing cancers and elucidates how oncometabolite-associated hypermethylation can impact diverse cellular processes and lead to therapeutically relevant vulnerabilities in cancer cells. Implications: NAPRT is a novel biomarker for targeting NAD+ metabolism in FH-deficient HLRCCs with NAMPTis alone and targeting DNA repair processes with the combination of NAMPTis and PARP inhibitors."

In this study, we found that CTL expression of the NK receptors (NKR) DNAM1 and NKG2D was associated with the effector status of CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and long-term survival of patients with melanoma. Using MART1 and NY-ESO-1 as model TAAs, we demonstrated that DNAM1 and NKG2D regulate T-cell receptor (TCR) functional avidity and set the threshold for TCR activation of human TAA-specific CTLs. Superior co-stimulatory effects of DNAM1 over CD28 involved enhanced TCR signaling, CTL killer function, and polyfunctionality. Double transduction of human CTLs with TAA-specific TCR and NKRs resulted in strongly enhanced antigen sensitivity, without a reduction in antigen specificity and selectivity of killer function. In addition, the elevation of NKR ligand expression on cancer cells due to chemotherapy also increased CTL recognition of cancer cells expressing low levels of TAAs. Our data help explain the ability of self-antigens to mediate tumor rejection in the absence of autoimmunity and support the development of dual-targeting adoptive T-cell therapies that use NKRs to enhance the potency and selectivity of recognition of TAA-expressing cancer cells."

Alternative like genotoxic or targeted chemotherapy trigger various cancer cell fates after treatment including cell death and senescence. Senescent cells can be eliminated using senolytic drugs and we hypothesize that the targeted elimination of therapy-induced senescent melanoma cells could complement both conventional and immunotherapies. We utilized a panel of cells representing diverse mutational background relevant to melanoma and found that they developed distinct senescent phenotypes in response to treatment. A genotoxic combination therapy of carboplatin-paclitaxel or irradiation triggered a mixed response of cell death and senescence, irrespective of BRAF mutation profiles. DNA damage-induced senescent melanoma cells exhibited morphological changes, residual DNA damage, and increased senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). In contrast, dual targeted inhibition of Braf and Mek triggered a different mixed cell fate response including senescent-like and persister cells. While persister cells could reproliferate, senescent-like cells were stably arrested, but without detectable DNA damage and senescence-associated secretory phenotype. To assess the sensitivity to senolytics we employed a novel real-time imaging-based death assay and observed that Bcl2/Bcl-XL inhibitors and piperlongumine were effective in promoting death of carboplatin-paclitaxel and irradiation-induced senescent melanoma cells, while the mixed persister cells and senescent-like cells resulting from Braf-Mek inhibition remained unresponsive. Interestingly, a direct synergy between Bcl2/Bcl-XL inhibitors and Braf-Mek inhibitors was observed when used out of the context of senescence. Overall, we highlight diverse hallmarks of melanoma senescent states and provide evidence of context-dependent senotherapeutics that could reduce treatment resistance while also discussing the limitations of this strategy in human melanoma cells."

Our results show that Glabridin significantly inhibits the growth of CTCL cells through induction of programmed cell death (PCD) such as apoptosis, autophagy and necrosis. Interestingly, results further show that Glabridin induces PCD in CTCL cells by targeting MAPK signalling pathways, particularly the activation of ERK. Further, Glabridin also sensitized CTCL cells to the anti-cancer drug, bortezomib. Importantly, LC-MS-based metabolomics analyses further showed that Glabridin targeted multiple metabolites and metabolic pathways intricately involved in cancer cell growth and proliferation in an ERK-dependent fashion. Overall, our findings revealed that Glabridin induces PCD and attenuates the expression of regulatory proteins and metabolites involved in orchestrating the uncontrolled proliferation of CTCL cells through ERK activation. Therefore, Glabridin possesses important features of an ideal anti-cancer agent."

+3760,skin cancer,38946192,Spectrum and Frequency of BRAF Mutations in Skin Melanomas in the Dalmatian Region of Croatia.,"Mutation of the BRAF oncogene is one of the most common mutations detected in human neoplasia, occurring in 40-60% of all cutaneous melanoma. BRAF is a serine/threonine protein kinase which is an essential part of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. It is physiologically activated by RAS, but in mutated form, due to molecular conformational change, BRAF becomes constitutively active with subsequent persistent activation of downstream cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins (MEK, ERK, ETS), which finally leads to gene expression that promotes cell growth and survival. Inhibition of the altered MAPK pathway by BRAF inhibitors and combined BRAF/MEK inhibitors in BRAF mutated melanoma has become a standard therapeutic approach (1,2). We recently reported the frequency and clinicopathological features of BRAF V600E mutated melanomas in the Dalmatian region of Croatia. This report included 80 cutaneous melanomas with BRAF analyses performed at our institution until the second half of 2017, using a kit which detected only BRAF V600E mutation (3). From the second half of 2017, we started using a kit which detects several types of BRAF mutations along with NRAS mutation. The aim of this report was to determine the spectrum and frequency of different BRAF mutations in a group of skin melanomas in the Dalmatian region of Croatia and to comment on the relationship between type of BRAF mutation and therapeutic response to MAPK pathway inhibition. The analysis included 179 patients with stage 3 and stage 4 cutaneous melanoma with known BRAF/NRAS mutational status. The paraffin blocks were forwarded from four Dalmatian hospitals (Split: 139 cases, Zadar: 17 cases, Šibenik: 13 cases, Dubrovnik: 10 cases). BRAF/NRAS mutation analysis was performed at the Institute of Pathology, Clinical Hospital Center Split, Croatia, in the period from the second half of 2017 to the end of 2022. For DNA extraction analysis, hematoxylin and eosin stained slides from each submitted sample were reviewed by a pathologist, and tumor tissue was identified for analysis. For all tissue specimens, DNA was extracted from sections (10 mm thick) using the cobas® DNA Sample Preparation Kit (Roche Molecular Diagnostics), following the manufacturer's protocol. The amount of genomic DNA was quantified using the Qubit® 2.0 Fluorometer (Life Technologies) and adjusted to a fixed concentration to be added to the amplification/detection mixture. For mutation analysis, the target DNA was amplified and detected on the cobas z 480 analyzer using the amplification and detection reagents provided in the Roche BRAF/NRAS mutation test (LSR) kit, according to the manufacturer's protocol. The test results were reported as follows: BRAF exon 11 mutation detected, BRAF V600E/E2/D mutation detected, BRAF V600K mutation detected, BRAF V600R mutation detected, BRAF K601E mutation detected, NRAS (G12X, G13X, A18T, Q61X, other NRAS Ex3/4) mutation detected, mutation not detected, or invalid result (no result was obtained on the cobas test). BRAF mutation was observed in 87 patients (48.6%), NRAS mutation was found in 27 patients (15.1%), while 65 patients (36.3%) were without BRAF/NRAS mutation (Table 1). In the group of BRAF mutated melanomas, 61 cases (70.1%) had V600E/E2/D mutation, 20 cases (23%) had V600K mutation, 3 cases (3.4%) had exon 11 mutation, 2 cases (2.3%) had V600R mutation, and 1 case (1.2%) had K601E mutation (Table 2). The observed frequency of BRAF mutated melanomas in this study was similar to the frequency reported in our previous study (48.6% and 47.5%, respectively) (3). The vast majority were BRAF V600 mutations, while BRAF non-V600 mutations were rare (95.4% and 4.6%, respectively). In the group of BRAF V600 mutations, V600E/E2/D mutations predominated, followed by V600K mutations, while V600R mutations were rare. Greaves et al. reported similar frequency of BRAF V600 mutations in a group of 499 BRAF-mutated cutaneous melanomas, with V600E/E2/D mutations observed in 77.2% cases, followed by V600K mutations observed in 17.2% cases, and V600R mutations observed in 2.6% cases (4). BRAF non-V600 mutations (exon 11 and K601E mutations) were rarely observed in this study, confirming the findings of other authors (4,5). A three-class system of BRAF mutations was recently proposed that takes into account the differences in their kinase activity, with class I containing mutants with high kinase activity and high response rate to BRAF and BRAF/MEK inhibitors. Class II BRAF mutations have lower kinase activity than class I mutants, but higher than wild-type BRAF, showing resistance to BRAF inhibitor monotherapy and sensitivity to MEK and BRAF/MEK inhibitors. Finally, class III BRAF mutations are characterized by low kinase activity and low response rate to targeted therapy (6). BRAF V600 mutations belong to class I mutations, which means that the large majority of BRAF-positive melanomas in this study (95.4%) were sensitive to targeted therapy. However, the sensitivity to targeted therapy is different among different class I BRAF mutations. While large randomized controlled trials on combined BRAF/MEK inhibition showed good overall response (63-68%) and improvement of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for the melanomas with most prevalent V600E and V600K mutations, Menzer et al. showed lower response rate to MAPK pathway inhibition (45%) in the group of metastatic melanomas with BRAF V600 mutations other than V600E/K. The overall response rate to MAPK pathway inhibition in the same group of melanomas with BRAF non-V600 mutations (class II and III mutations) was only 18% (7). In our group of BRAF mutated skin metastatic melanomas, we found only 6 cases (6.9%) with expected lower response rate to MAPK pathway inhibition: 2 cases with V600R mutation (class I non-V600E/K mutation), 1 case with K601E mutation (class II mutation), and 3 cases with exon 11 mutation (class II and III mutations)."
+3761,skin cancer,38946191,Leukomelanoderma Resembling Hyperpigmented Mycosis Fungoides.,"Acquired circumscribed hyperpigmented patches and plaques have various differential diagnoses, including post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and mycosis fungoides (MF). Leukomelanoderma is an uncommon cutaneous condition in which the pathogenesis is not fully elucidated. It has been reported that leukomelanoderma occurs after allergic contact dermatitis from hydroquinone or acute cutaneous graft-versus-host disease (1,2). Hyperpigmented MF is a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with a frequent CD8+ phenotype (3). Herein, we report a case of leukomelanoderma clinically and histologically resembling hyperpigmented MF. A 55-year-old Japanese woman was referred to our department for evaluation of reticulate pigmentation with pruritic erythema on the face. She had used commercially available depigmenting cosmetic reagents for 20 years and ointment containing 10% hydroquinone for 3 months. Physical examination revealed diffuse hyperpigmentation and demarcated hypopigmented macules on the face and neck (Figure 1, a). Dermoscopy showed depigmented spots and reticulated plus dotted hyperpigmentation; it presented a pseudo-pigment network (Figure 1, b). Histological examination of a tissue specimen biopsied from the lesion showed superficial band-like lymphocytic infiltration in dermis accompanying single cells or small clusters in epidermis (Figure 1, c). Interface changes were observed together with melanophages in the dermis. Melan-A-positive melanocytes were absent. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that the epidermotropic lymphocytes were CD3+CD7-, and they had predominance of CD8+ cells (Figure 1, d). These immunohistochemical results mimicked MF. However, PCR analysis of the T-cell receptor g-gene rearrangement was negative. Closed patch test result with hydroquinone (5% pet.) was graded D2 (+?) and D3 (+). Ten months after discontinuing cosmetic reagents and hydroquinone, the pigmentary changes showed improvement. The pathomechanism of leukomelanoderma is unclear. Although post-inflammatory pigmentation due to allergic or contact dermatitis together with direct depigmenting effects from hydroquinone use has been suggested (1), the immunophenotype of T-cells has not been examined. As observed in our patient, interface changes with melanophages, in addition to frequent CD8+ phenotype of the epidermotropism and dermal infiltrate of lymphocytes, were characteristic for hyperpigmented MF (3). Moreover, minimal CD7 expression was a specific finding for MF (4). T-cell receptor clonality was negative in our patient, but the clonality appears to be detected by PCR in up to 50% of the patients with early MF (3). In contrast, the closed patch test was positive for hydroquinone in our patient, and it is reported that CD8+ T-cells are recruited to the interphase between the epidermis and the dermis of the patients with allergic contact dermatitis (5). CD8+ T-cells might contribute to acute cutaneous graft-versus-host disease-like interface changes and destroy melanocytes in the leukomelanoderma lesion. Allergic contact dermatitis presenting as leukomelanoderma was thus suggested in our patient. However, further reports and studies are required to support this issue. Therefore, we considered it necessary to follow the patient, since MF was not absolutely eliminated."

Interest in the burden of VLS on patient quality of life is fairly recent and only relatively few studies have addressed it so far. In order to focus on the impact of VLS in affected women, an electronic search was performed using the National Library of Medicine PubMed database. All the studies assessing VLS-related suffering and quality of life impairment published in the English literature were analyzed, including controlled studies, case series, and guidelines. The available literature shows that VLS can negatively affect patients' daily lives and significantly impair their physical and social activities, mental health, self-esteem, sexual functioning, and satisfaction. Health-related quality of life impairment among women with VLS is defined as moderate to severe, comparable to that of patients affected with other high-impact chronic skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and hidradenitis suppurativa. The symptoms are the main causes of the detrimental effect of VLS. By ameliorating symptoms, treatments are expected to highly improve patient quality of life, especially in case of complete clearance. Treating VLS has a beneficial impact on sexual dysfunction as well, even though dyspareunia appears less responsive than the other disease-related symptoms. In conclusion, the emotional and sexual dimensions are strongly impaired by VLS. Both in clinical practice and in clinical trials, quality of life and suffering should be taken into account and considered as strong conditioning factors in patient well-being. They should also become a measure of therapeutic response in treated patients."

In the era of effective immunotherapy, there is no consensus amongst head and neck surgeons about the extent of neck dissection required for patients presenting with clinically apparent parotid metastasis. This review aims to determine the incidence and pattern of occult neck disease for patients with parotid metastasis reported in the literature to help guide clinicians on the extent of neck dissection required. The systematic review search was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE and Medline, using PRISMA guidelines. The inclusion criteria include cases treated with parotidectomy and neck dissection for patients with parotid melanoma metastasis. A narrative synthesis was carried out due to heterogeneity of studies. A total of 14 studies was included. We found no study reporting on outcomes with surgery and adjuvant immunotherapy in this cohort of patients. The incidence of distant metastasis reported was variable but remains high for patients with parotid metastasis. Patients with parotid and neck involvement have poorer prognosis than patients with parotid only metastatic disease. The effect and extent of neck dissection in patients with clinically apparent parotid nodes remains unclear in the era of effective immunotherapy. There is a need for further well-designed studies evaluating the outcomes for such patients following surgery and adjuvant immunotherapy."

Though adverse events such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) are well characterized, the dermatologic adverse event (DAE) profile is less thoroughly described. This study aims to provide the first comprehensive analysis of DAEs associated with axi-cel and tisa-cel using real-world data from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. FAERS database reports citing axi-cel or tisa-cel in patients aged 16 years or older were included, excluding duplicate reports and off-label indications. Disproportionality analysis by reporting odds ratio (ROR) was utilized to detect increased reporting of drug-adverse event combinations. Of the 11,256,845 reports in the FAERS database, 5559 identified CAR-T therapy as the primary suspected drug. After exclusions, 3,666 reports were analyzed (2,168 for axi-cel and 1,498 for tisa-cel). Among these, 2.7% of axi-cel and 5.1% of tisa-cel cases reported DAEs. There was a statistically significant increased reporting of 2 DAE groups associated with CAR-T therapy: severe cutaneous eruptions (ROR 5.18, 95% CI 1.29, 20.76) and vascular cutaneous (ROR 2.91, 95% CI 1.51, 5.60). The median time to DAE onset was 3 days after CAR T-cell infusion. Death was a reported outcome in 11.9% and 13.0% of axi-cel and tisa-cel DAE cases, respectively, and in 50% and 25% of severe cutaneous eruptions and vascular cutaneous cases, respectively. This study reveals a significantly increased reporting rate of severe cutaneous eruptions and vascular cutaneous DAEs associated with CAR-T therapy, with both event groups associated with high mortality. These results emphasize the importance of monitoring dermatologic toxicities in clinical practice to ensure timely identification and management of potentially severe adverse events."

+3770,skin cancer,38944210,Light exacerbates local and global effects induced by pH unfolding of Ipilimumab.,"Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are an essential class of therapeutic proteins for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune and rare diseases. During their production, storage, and administration processes, these proteins encounter various stressors such as temperature fluctuations, vibrations, and light exposure, able to induce chemico-physical modifications to their structure. Viral inactivation is a key step in downstream processes, and it is achieved by titration of the mAb at low pH, followed by neutralization. The changes of the pH pose a significant risk of unfolding and subsequent aggregation to proteins, thereby affecting their manufacturing. This study aims to investigate whether a combined exposure to light during the viral inactivation process can further affect the structural integrity of Ipilimumab, a mAb primarily used in the treatment of metastatic melanoma. The biophysical and biochemical characterization of Ipilimumab revealed that pH variation is a considerable risk for its stability with irreversible unfolding at pH 2. The threshold for Ipilimumab denaturation lies between pH 2 and 3 and is correlated with the loss of the protein structural cooperativity, which is the most critical factor determining the protein refolding. Light has demonstrated to exacerbate some local and global effects making pH-induced exposed regions more vulnerable to structural and chemical changes. Therefore, specific precautions to real-life exposure to ambient light during the sterilization process of mAbs should be considered to avoid loss of the therapeutic activity and to increase the yield of production. Our findings underscore the critical role of pH optimization in preserving the structural integrity and therapeutic efficacy of mAbs. Moreover, a detailed conformational study on the structural modifications of Ipilimumab may improve the chemico-physical knowledge of this effective drug and suggest new production strategies for more stable products under some kind of stress conditions."

However, it often induces graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD), which is associated with complications. In the present study, we used cyclophosphamide (Cy) to treat a thalassemia patient post-HSCT to reduce the adverse effects of GVHD. We monitored the numbers and phenotype of granulocytes. In this case study, an 11-year-old female patient, diagnosed with β-thalassemia major (Pesaro class II), was treated with Cy before and after HSCT with mobilized CD34+ cells. Both the relative and absolute granulocyte counts, as well as CD33+CD11b+ cell counts, increased significantly after HSCT until day 56. However, they suddenly began to decrease after day 56, accompanied by severe diarrhea, skin rash, and a decrease in bilirubin levels compared to day -12. Furthermore, compared to day -12, IL-22 levels increased until day 56, and then decreased, while IDO levels continued to rise after day 56. Our data suggest the potential use of IL-22 and IDO as biomarkers for GVHD assessment. It also indicates that Cy promotes HSCT reconstitution by increasing CD33+CD11b+ cells, which may play a crucial role in reducing GVHD risks. However, further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanism behind GVHD recurrence."

Much is still unknown about the metabolic changes in the tumor cells and their microenvironment during this metastatic progression. We aimed to gain new insight into the molecular characteristics of melanoma in regard to spatial lipidomics to deliver new knowledge regarding tumor metastatic progression. We included 10 fresh tumor samples from 10 patients including two in situ melanomas, two invasive primary melanomas, and six metastatic melanomas (four in-transit metastases and two distant metastases). In addition, we analyzed four healthy skin controls from the same patients. Time-of-flight imaging secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) enabled detailed spatial-lipidomics that could be directly correlated with conventional histopathological analysis of consecutive H&E-stained tissue sections. Significant differences in the lipid profiles were found in primary compared to metastatic melanomas, notably an increase in phosphatidylethanolamine lipids relative to phosphatidylinositol lipids and an increase in GM3 gangliosides in the metastatic samples. Furthermore, analysis of the data from in transit versus distant metastases samples highlighted that specific phospholipids, and a difference in the long versus shorter chain GM3 gangliosides, discriminated the metastatic routes. Further studies are warranted to verify these preliminary findings. Lipidomic changes could serve as a novel biomarker for tumor progression and even serve as a target for novel treatments. Furthermore, analyzing the lipid profiles could help to differentiate between primary and metastatic melanomas in challenging cases."

To uncover resistance mechanisms, we perform single-cell RNA sequencing on fine-needle aspirates from resistant and responding tumors of patients undergoing BRAFi/MEKi treatment. Among the genes most prominently expressed in resistant tumors is POSTN, predicted to signal to a macrophage population associated with targeted therapy resistance (TTR). Accordingly, tumors from patients with fast disease progression after therapy exhibit high POSTN expression levels and high numbers of TTR macrophages. POSTN polarizes human macrophages toward a TTR phenotype and promotes resistance to targeted therapy in a melanoma mouse model, which is associated with a phenotype change in intratumoral macrophages. Finally, polarized TTR macrophages directly protect human melanoma cells from MEKi-induced killing via CD44 receptor expression on melanoma cells. Thus, interfering with the protective activity of TTR macrophages may offer a strategy to overcome resistance to targeted therapy in melanoma."
+3783,skin cancer,38941889,High levels of soluble CD73 unveil resistance to BRAF inhibitors in melanoma cells.,"Melanoma cells express high levels of CD73 that produce extracellular immunosuppressive adenosine. Changes in the CD73 expression occur in response to tumor environmental factors, contributing to tumor phenotype plasticity and therapeutic resistance. Previously, we have observed that CD73 expression can be up-regulated on the surface of melanoma cells in response to nutritional stress. Here, we explore the mechanism by which melanoma cells release soluble CD73 under low nutrient availability and whether this might be affected by agents targeting the proto-oncogene B-Raf (BRAF). We found that starved melanoma cells can release high levels of CD73, able to convert AMP into adenosine, and this activity is abrogated by selective CD73 inhibitors, APCP or PSB-12489. The release of CD73 from melanoma cells is mediated by the matrix metalloproteinase MMP-9. Indeed, MMP-9 inhibitors significantly reduce the levels of CD73 released from the cells, while its surface levels increase. Of relevance, melanoma cells, harboring an activating BRAF mutation, upon treatment with dabrafenib or vemurafenib, show a strong reduction of CD73 cell expression and reduced levels of CD73 released into the extracellular space. Conversely, melanoma cells resistant to dabrafenib show high expression of membrane-bound CD73 and soluble CD73 released into the culture medium. In summary, our data indicate that CD73 is released from melanoma cells. The expression of CD73 is associated with response to BRAF inhibitors. Melanoma cells developing resistance to dabrafenib show increased expression of CD73, including soluble CD73 released from cells, suggesting that CD73 is involved in acquiring resistance to treatment."

Here, we demonstrate the use of high-definition 3D multiparametric PACT imaging of both primary and metastatic tumors in living mice to noninvasively monitor angiogenesis, carcinogenesis, hypoxia, and pharmacokinetics. The high-definition PACT system with a 1024-element hemispherical ultrasound transducer array provides an isotropic spatial resolution of 380 μm, an effective volumetric field-of-view of 12.8 mm × 12.8 mm × 12.8 mm without scanning, and an acquisition time of <30 s for a whole mouse body. Initially, we monitor the structural progression of the tumor microenvironment (e.g., angiogenesis and vessel tortuosity) after tumor cell inoculation. Then, we analyze the change in oxygen saturation of the tumor during carcinogenesis, verifying induced hypoxia in the tumor's core region. Finally, the whole-body pharmacokinetics are photoacoustically imaged after intravenous injection of micelle-loaded IR780 dye, and the in vivo PACT results are validated in vivo and ex vivo by fluorescence imaging. By employing the premium PACT system and applying multiparametric analyses to subcutaneous primary tumors and metastatic liver tumors, we demonstrate that this PACT system can provide multiparametric analyses for comprehensive cancer research."

Recently, skin was also identified as a primary site for MSA in a report by Bishop et al. Due to its rarity and resemblance to other adnexal tumors, MSA is a challenging diagnosis. Herein, we present a case of cutaneous MSA that was unique for the presence of a significant microcystic component and marked adnexal hyperplasia, which mimicked myxoid microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC). A 58-year-old presented with a 1 year history of an enlarging eyelid nodule. Histopathologic analysis revealed dermal tumor composed of small tubules containing inspissated bluish mucinous material. Accompanying marked adnexal hyperplasia and many microcysts were also present. Tumor cells expressed S100 protein, which is distinct from MAC, while p63 immunohistochemistry showed marked loss of myoepithelial labeling, as is common in primary adenocarcinomas. Next generation gene sequencing detected the characteristic MSA fusion protein MEF2c::SS18. We report a novel presentation of MSA that simulated MAC because of the presence of associated microcystic change. The presence of S100 immunopositivity and the identification of MEF2C::SS18 fusion confirmed the diagnosis of cutaneous MSA."

+3794,skin cancer,38940346,Desmosomes at a glance.,"Desmosomes are relatives of ancient cadherin-based junctions, which emerged late in evolution to ensure the structural integrity of vertebrate tissues by coupling the intermediate filament cytoskeleton to cell-cell junctions. Their ability to dynamically counter the contractile forces generated by actin-associated adherens junctions is particularly important in tissues under high mechanical stress, such as the skin and heart. Much more than the simple cellular 'spot welds' depicted in textbooks, desmosomes are in fact dynamic structures that can sense and respond to changes in their mechanical environment and external stressors like ultraviolet light and pathogens. These environmental signals are transmitted intracellularly via desmosome-dependent mechanochemical pathways that drive the physiological processes of morphogenesis and differentiation.

The present study aimed to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of artificial ascites-assisted MWA for treating liver cancer near the deep diaphragm, as well as the significance of perioperative nursing. A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent artificial ascites-assisted MWA for liver cancer located near the deep diaphragm between January 2016 and December 2022. Normal saline was utilized as artificial ascites to safeguard the deep diaphragm during MWA. The study recorded the procedural success rate, incidence of major complications, technical efficacy of ablation and local tumor progression (LTP). A total of 62 lesions in 54 patients were included, with 44 men and 10 women, and a mean (± SD) age of 55.64±10.33 years. The ultrasound image quality scores for liver cancer before and after ascites were 3.57±0.79 and 4.89±0.33, respectively, showing a statistically significant difference between the two groups (t=16.324; P<0.05). No diaphragm injury, skin burns at the puncture site or abdominal hemorrhage occurred during the procedure. A single patient developed right-sided pleural effusion, which did not require drainage. The complete ablation rate was 94.4% (51/54) at 1 month post-ablation, with 3 patients experiencing recurrence and receiving additional MWA treatment. The median follow-up time for the patients in this study was 21 months (range, 12-45 months), with a LTP rate of 5.6% (3/54). In conclusion, MWA assisted by artificial ascites is a safe and effective treatment for liver cancer near the deep diaphragm. Furthermore, perioperative treatment and rehabilitation of the patients with high-quality nursing is beneficial."

Several parameters have been considered in the tumor environment or the blood, but none has yet achieved sufficient accuracy for routine clinical practice. Whole blood samples from MM patients receiving second-line anti-PD1 treatment (NCT02626065), collected longitudinally, were analyzed by flow cytometry to assess the immune cell subsets absolute numbers, the expression of immune checkpoints or ligands on T cells and the functionality of innate immune cells and T cells. Clinical response was assessed according to Progression-Free Survival (PFS) status at one-year following initiation of anti-PD1 (responders: PFS > 1 year; non-responders: PFS ≤ 1 year). At baseline, several phenotypic and functional alterations in blood immune cells were observed in MM patients compared to healthy donors, but only the proportion of polyfunctional memory CD4+ T cells was associated with response to anti-PD1. Under treatment, a decreased frequency of HVEM on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells after 3 months of treatment identified responding patients, whereas its receptor BTLA was not modulated. Both reduced proportion of CD69-expressing CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and increased number of polyfunctional blood memory T cells after 3 months of treatment were associated with response to anti-PD1. Of upmost importance, the combination of changes of all these markers accurately discriminated between responding and non-responding patients. These results suggest that drugs targeting HVEM/BTLA pathway may be of interest to improve anti-PD1 efficacy."

However, the diffusion of MVs into tissues can be impeded by the extracellular matrix (ECM). We investigated the diffusion of dermal wound myofibroblast-derived MVs into the ECM by using hydrogels composed of different ECM molecules such as fibrin, type III collagen and type I collagen that are present during the healing process. Fluorescent MVs mixed with hydrogels were employed to detect MV diffusion using fluorometric methods. Our results showed that MVs specifically bound type I collagen and diffused freely out of fibrin and type III collagen. Further analysis using flow cytometry and specific inhibitors revealed that MVs bind to type I collagen via the α2β1 integrin. These data demonstrate that MV transport depends on the composition of the wound environment."

IFN-γ is well studied as a negative regulator for lymphangiogenesis, which is strongly associated with cancer metastasis. However, the exact mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. In the present study, we investigated whether IFN-γ signaling in lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) affects tumor cell dissemination by regulating the barrier function of tumor-associated lymphatic vessels. Using LEC-specific IFN-γ receptor (IFN-γR) knockout mice, we found that the loss of IFN-γR in LECs increased the dissemination of melanoma cells into the draining lymph nodes. Notably, IFN-γ signaling in LECs inhibited trans-lymphatic endothelial cell migration of melanoma cells, indicating its regulation of lymphatic barrier function. Further investigations revealed that IFN-γ upregulated the expression of the tight junction protein Claudin-3 in LECs, while knockdown of Claudin-3 in LECs abolished IFN-γ-induced inhibition of trans-lymphatic endothelial migration activity. Mechanistically, IFN-γ inhibits AMPK signaling activation, which is involved in the regulation of fatty acid metabolism. Modulating fatty acid metabolism and AMPK activation in LECs also affected the lymphatic dissemination of melanoma cells, further confirming that this process is involved in IFN-γ-induced regulation of lymphatic barrier function. These results provide novel insights into how IFN-γ modulates tight junctions in LECs, inhibiting the dissemination of melanoma cells via the lymphatic vessels."

CSCC differentiation is graded inconsistently by both dermatopathologists and Mohs surgeons, and reliability studies have demonstrated suboptimal inter- and intra-rater reliability in both of these groups. The absence of a standardized and reliable grading system has impeded the use of differentiation in CSCC staging, despite its apparent correlation with disease outcomes. We performed a comprehensive review of the literature summarizing historical CSCC differentiation grading systems, as well as grading systems in non-cutaneous head and neck SCC as a point of reference. Relevant articles were identified by searching Embase and PubMed, as well as by reviewing reference lists for additional articles and histology textbook excerpts.

This metric has been used to evaluate practicing dermatologists, dermatology advanced practice professionals, and primary care providers. This metric, however, has rarely been applied to residency clinics. We aimed to determine the NNB at the University of Colorado residency clinics. Moreover, we sought to determine the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on NNB. This study is a retrospective analysis of biopsies performed from 2016 to 2022 at the Denver Health Medical Center and the Rocky Mountain Regional Veteran Affairs dermatology clinics. Differential diagnosis at the time of biopsy was searched for keywords including melanoma, melanoma in situ, and lentigo maligna. Skin biopsies that included re-excisions were excluded. The NNB was subsequently generated by dividing the number of biopsied lesions with suspected melanoma by the number of histologically confirmed melanomas. The data was further separated by pre-COVID-19 (2016-February 2020), COVID-19 shutdown period (March 2020-July 2020), and post-COVID-19 (March 2020-present). Demographic data, including age, sex, race, and Fitzpatrick type, were collected. There were 2230 biopsies with suspected melanoma in the differential diagnosis at both clinic sites from 2016 to 2022. Of these, 362 were histologically confirmed melanoma. Total NNB was 6.16. The pre-COVID-19 NNB was 5.86, and the post-COVID-19 NNB was 6.91. Residency clinics have NNB similar to published values of practicing dermatologists. Furthermore, within these clinics, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was appreciated by a relative, although statistically insignificant, increase in NNB."
+3836,skin cancer,38934060,Sex-dependent interaction of PTGS2 with miR-146a as risk factor for melanoma and the impact of sex hormones in gene expression in skin cells.,"Gender disparity in melanoma is a complex issue where sex hormones could be engaged. Differences in genetic variations are important in understanding the mechanisms of sex disparity in melanoma. Post-transcriptional regulation of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS2) mRNA occurs through a complex interplay of specific trans-acting RNA-binding proteins and microRNAs. MiR-146a is a key player in melanoma, modulating immune responses and tumor microenvironment (TME). Polymorphisms in PTGS2 gene rs20415G<C and miR-146a gene rs2910164G>C have been associated with an increased risk of melanoma. Epistasis between polymorphisms rs20415G<C and rs2910164G>C was investigated by genotyping 453 melanoma patients and 382 control individuals. The effects of testosterone and 17β-estradiol were analyzed in keratinocytes and two melanoma cell lines. The rs2910164GG showed a higher risk in the presence of the genotype rs20417CC in the male population. Testosterone and 17β-estradiol act differently on PTGS2 and miR-146a expression, depending on the cell type. Testosterone augments PTGS2 gene expression in keratinocytes and miR-146a in melanoma cells. While 17β-estradiol only increases miR-146a expression in HaCaT cells. The present study indicates a sex-specific relation between miR-146a and PTGS2 polymorphisms with melanoma cancer risk. Testosterone and 17β-estradiol act differently on the expression of PTGS2 and miR-146a depending on the skin cell type."

In the present study, we examined the biological activity of the senolytic piperlongumine by analyzing alterations in mRNA expression of notable skin genes using transformed aneuploid immortal epidermal keratinocytes, HaCaT cells. We observed that piperlongumine increased the mRNA expression of genes playing critical roles in skin barrier function. In addition, piperlongumine increased expression enzymes involved in the synthesis of ceramide, a major component of intercellular lipids. Furthermore, we measured the protein levels of various cytokines secreted by epidermal keratinocytes and found changes in the release of GRO-αβγ, CCL5, and MCP1. Additionally, we observed that piperlongumine treatment modulated the expression of keratinocyte-specific aging markers and influenced telomerase activity. Based on these findings, piperlongumine could regulate the physiological activity of epidermal keratinocytes to induce beneficial effects in human skin by regulating important skin-related genes."

Compared to the spectra of healthy skin, spectra of melanocytic lesions exhibited lower intensities in carotenoid bands and higher intensities in lipid and melanin bands, suggesting similar variations in the content of these components. Distinct variations were observed among the autofluorescence intensities of healthy skin, benign nevi and malignant melanoma. By incorporating autofluorescence information, the classification accuracy of the support vector machine for spectra of healthy skin, nevi, and melanoma reached 90.2%, surpassing the 87.9% accuracy achieved without autofluorescence, with this difference being statistically significant.

Accurate identification of skin lesion types is crucial when employing computer-aided diagnosis. This study proposes a multi-level attention cascaded fusion model based on Swin-T and ConvNeXt. It employed hierarchical Swin-T and ConvNeXt to extract global and local features, respectively, and introduced residual channel attention and spatial attention modules for further feature extraction. Multi-level attention mechanisms were utilized to process multi-scale global and local features. To address the problem of shallow features being lost due to their distance from the classifier, a hierarchical inverted residual fusion module was proposed to dynamically adjust the extracted feature information. Balanced sampling strategies and focal loss were employed to tackle the issue of imbalanced categories of skin lesions. Experimental testing on the ISIC2018 and ISIC2019 datasets yielded accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-Score of 96.01%, 93.67%, 92.65%, and 93.11%, respectively, and 92.79%, 91.52%, 88.90%, and 90.15%, respectively. Compared to Swin-T, the proposed method achieved an accuracy improvement of 3.60% and 1.66%, and compared to ConvNeXt, it achieved an accuracy improvement of 2.87% and 3.45%.

We aimed to evaluate the suitability of the guidelines that recommend waiting at least three months after undergoing chemotherapy before receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. This retrospective cohort study used aggregated data from the TriNetX US Collaboratory network. Participants were grouped into two groups based on the interval between chemotherapy and vaccination. The primary outcome assessed was infection risks, including COVID-19; skin, intra-abdominal, and urinary tract infections; pneumonia; and sepsis. Secondary measures included healthcare utilization and all causes of mortality. Kaplan-Meier analysis and the Cox proportional hazard model were used to calculate the cumulative incidence and hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals for the outcomes. The proportional hazard assumption was tested with the generalized Schoenfeld approach. Four subgroup analyses (cancer type, vaccine brand, sex, age) were conducted. Sensitivity analyses were performed to account for competing risks and explore three distinct time intervals. Patients receiving a vaccine within three months after chemotherapy had a higher risk of COVID-19 infection (HR: 1.428, 95% CI: 1.035-1.970), urinary tract infection (HR: 1.477, 95% CI: 1.083-2.014), and sepsis (HR: 1.854, 95% CI: 1.091-3.152) compared to those who adhered to the recommendations. Hospital inpatient service utilization risk was also significantly elevated for the within three months group (HR: 1.692, 95% CI: 1.354-2.115). Adhering to a three-month post-chemotherapy waiting period reduces infection and healthcare utilization risks for cancer patients receiving a COVID-19 vaccine."
+3849,skin cancer,38932162,Vaccinia Virus: Mechanisms Supporting Immune Evasion and Successful Long-Term Protective Immunity.,"Vaccinia virus is the most successful vaccine in human history and functions as a protective vaccine against smallpox and monkeypox, highlighting the importance of ongoing research into vaccinia due to its genetic similarity to other emergent poxviruses. Moreover, vaccinia's ability to accommodate large genetic insertions makes it promising for vaccine development and potential therapeutic applications, such as oncolytic agents. Thus, understanding how superior immunity is generated by vaccinia is crucial for designing other effective and safe vaccine strategies. During vaccinia inoculation by scarification, the skin serves as a primary site for the virus-host interaction, with various cell types playing distinct roles. During this process, hematopoietic cells undergo abortive infections, while non-hematopoietic cells support the full viral life cycle. This differential permissiveness to viral replication influences subsequent innate and adaptive immune responses. Dendritic cells (DCs), key immune sentinels in peripheral tissues such as skin, are pivotal in generating T cell memory during vaccinia immunization. DCs residing in the skin capture viral antigens and migrate to the draining lymph nodes (dLN), where they undergo maturation and present processed antigens to T cells. Notably, CD8+ T cells are particularly significant in viral clearance and the establishment of long-term protective immunity. Here, we will discuss vaccinia virus, its continued relevance to public health, and viral strategies permissive to immune escape. We will also discuss key events and populations leading to long-term protective immunity and remaining key gaps."

This approach involves exposing isolated white blood cells to photoactivatable 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) and UVA light, aiming to induce apoptosis in T-cells and thereby modulate immune responses. However, conventional 8-MOP-ECP lacks cell selectivity, killing both healthy and diseased cells, and has shown limited treatment efficacy. An alternative approach under investigation involves the use of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) in conjunction with light, referred to as ALA-based photodynamic therapy. Our previous ex vivo studies suggest that ALA-ECP exhibits greater selectivity and efficiency in killing T-cells derived from patients with T-cell-mediated disorders compared to those treated with 8-MOP-ECP. We have conducted a clinical phase I-(II) study evaluating ALA-ECP safety and tolerability in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Here, 20 ALA-ECP treatments were administered to one CTCL patient, revealing no significant changes in vital signs. Two adverse events were reported; both evaluated by the Internal Safety Review Committee as non-serious. In addition, five conceivable events with mainly mild symptoms took place. During the study period, a 53% reduction in skin involvement and a 50% reduction in pruritus was observed. In conclusion, the results indicate that ALA-ECP treatment is safe and well tolerated."

Peptides are characterized by high specificity and low cytotoxicity, but they cannot be considered universal drugs for all types of cancer. Of the numerous anticancer-reported peptides, both natural and synthetic, only a few have reached clinical applications. However, in most cases, the mechanism behind the anticancer activity of the peptide is not fully understood. For this reason, in this work, we investigated the effect of the novel peptide ∆M4, which has documented anticancer activity, on two human skin cancer cell lines. A novel approach to studying the potential induction of apoptosis by anticancer peptides is the use of protein microarrays. The results of the apoptosis protein study demonstrated that both cell types, skin malignant melanoma (A375) and epidermoid carcinoma (A431), exhibited markers associated with apoptosis and cellular response to oxidative stress. Additionally, ∆M4 induced concentration- and time-dependent moderate ROS production, triggering a defensive response from the cells, which showed decreased activation of cytoplasmic superoxide dismutase. However, the studied cells exhibited a differential response in catalase activity, with A375 cells showing greater resistance to the peptide action, possibly mediated by the Nrf2 pathway. Nevertheless, both cell types showed moderate activity of caspases 3/7, suggesting that they may undergo partial apoptosis, although another pathway of programmed death cannot be excluded. Extended analysis of the mechanisms of action of anticancer peptides may help determine their effectiveness in overcoming chemoresistance in cancerous cells."

It is classified as ""carcinogenic to humans"" by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and is listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the top 10 chemicals posing major public health concerns. This widespread contamination results in millions of people globally being exposed to dangerous levels of arsenic, making it a top priority for the WHO. Chronic arsenic toxicity, known as arsenicosis, presents with specific skin lesions like pigmentation and keratosis, along with systemic manifestations including chronic lung diseases, liver issues, vascular problems, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cancer, often leading to fatal outcomes. Therefore, it is crucial to explore novel, cost-effective, and reliable methods with rapid response and improved sensitivities (detection limits). Most of the traditional detection techniques often face limitations in terms of complexity, cost, and the need for sophisticated equipment requiring skilled analysts and procedures, which thereby impedes their practical use, particularly in resource-constrained settings. Colorimetric methods leverage colour changes which are observable and quantifiable using simple instrumentation or even visual inspection. This review explores the colorimetric techniques designed to detect arsenite and arsenate in water. It covers recent developments in colorimetric techniques, and advancements in the role of nanomaterials in colorimetric arsenic detection, followed by discussion on current challenges and future prospects. The review emphasizes efforts to improve sensitivity, selectivity, cost, and portability, as well as the role of advanced materials/nanomaterials to boost the performance of colorimetric assays/sensors towards combatting this pervasive global health concern."

The human brain is vulnerable to oxidative stress because of the high rate of oxygen that it needs and the high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are substrates of lipid peroxidation. Natural antioxidants inhibit oxidation and reduce oxidative stress, preventing cancer, inflammation, and neurodegenerative disorders. Furthermore, in the literature, it is reported that antioxidants, due to their possible neuroprotective activity, may offer an interesting option for better symptom management, even Parkinson's disease (PD). Natural antioxidants are usually found in several foods, such as fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, and oil, and in food wastes, such as seeds, peels, leaves, and skin. They can help the system of endogenous antioxidants, protect or repair cellular components from oxidative stress, and even halt lipid, protein, and DNA damage to neurons. This review will examine the extent of knowledge from the last ten years, about the neuroprotective potential effect of natural antioxidants present in food and food by-products, in in vivo and in vitro PD models.

The cellular activity of chitosan has been studied in various types of cancer, including melanoma, and indicates that these molecules can open new perspectives on antiproliferative action and anticancer therapy. This study analyzes how different chitosan conformations, such as α-chitosan (CH) or β-oligochitosan (CO), with various degrees of deacetylation (DDA) and molar mass (MM), both in different concentrations and in CH-CO mixtures, influence the cellular processes of SK-MEL-28 melanocytes, to estimate the reactivity of these cells to the applied treatments. The in vitro evaluation was carried out, aiming at the cellular metabolism (MTT assay), cellular morphology, and chitinase-like glycoprotein YKL-40 expression. The in vitro effect of the CH-CO mixture application on melanocytes is obvious at low concentrations of α-chitosan/β-oligochitosan (1:2 ratio), with the cell's response supporting the hypothesis that β-oligo-chitosan amplifies the effect. This oligochitosan mixture, favored by the β conformation and its small size, penetrates faster into the cells, being more reactive when interacting with some cellular components. Morphological effects expressed by the loss of cell adhesion and the depletion of YKL-40 synthesis are significant responses of melanocytes. β-oligochitosan (1.5 kDa) induces an extension of cytophysiological effects and limits the cell viability compared to α-chitosan (400-900 kDa). Statistical analysis using multivariate techniques showed differences between the CH samples and CH-CO mixtures."

Hence, a comprehensive understanding of the distinct components associated with EVs and the signals that they deliver to myeloid cells could provide potential approaches to impede the immunosuppression by myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). We investigated melanoma EV-associated microRNAs (miRs) using the RET transgenic melanoma mouse model and simulated their transfer to normal myeloid cells by transfecting immature mouse myeloid cells and human monocytes. We observed elevated levels of miR-125a-5p, -125b-5p, and let-7e-5p in mouse melanoma-infiltrating MDSCs. In addition, miR-125a-5p levels in the tumor microenvironment correlated with mouse melanoma progression. The delivery of miR-125a-5p, alone or in combination with let-7e-5p and miR-99b-5p from the same genomic cluster, to normal myeloid cells resulted in their conversion to MDSC-like cells.

+3867,skin cancer,38928137,"The Effect of Body Mass Index on Melanoma Biology, Immunotherapy Efficacy, and Clinical Outcomes: A Narrative Review.","Recent studies indicate that a higher body mass index (BMI) might correlate with improved responses to melanoma treatment, especially with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), despite the general association of obesity with an increased risk of cancer and higher mortality rates. This review examines the paradoxical relationship between BMI and clinical outcomes in melanoma patients by exploring molecular links, the efficacy of immunotherapy, and patient survival outcomes. Our comprehensive literature search across the PubMed and Embase databases revealed a consistent pattern: increased BMI is associated with a better prognosis in melanoma patients undergoing ICI treatment. This ""obesity paradox"" might be explained by the metabolic and immunological changes in obesity, which could enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy in treating melanoma. The findings highlight the complexity of the interactions between obesity and melanoma, suggesting that adipose tissue may modulate the immune response and treatment sensitivity favorably. Our review highlights the need for personalized treatment strategies that consider the metabolic profiles of patients and calls for further research to validate BMI as a prognostic factor in clinical settings. This nuanced approach to the obesity paradox in melanoma could significantly impact treatment planning and patient management."

The present analysis was performed to assess the influence of Treg FoxP3 expression on the prognosis of primary melanoma and to evaluate the correlations with various clinicopathological prognostic factors. We analyzed all eligible patients with stage pT3 primary malignant melanomas treated in a tertiary cancer center. Immunohistochemical staining for Treg FoxP3 expression was performed on retrospectively identified paraffin blocks and subsequently correlated with the outcomes of the patients. A total of 81% of the patients presented a positive Treg FoxP3 expression, being correlated with a higher risk of lymph node metastasis, tumor relapse, and death. Moreover, positive expression was statistically associated with a shorter OS. The tumor relapse rate was estimated at 36.7%. A positive expression of Treg FoxP3 and lymph node metastasis were associated with a higher risk of death based on multivariate analysis. Treg FoxP3 expression may be used as an independent prognostic factor in patients with malignant melanoma to evaluate tumor progression and survival."

The study assessed the long-term risk of skin cancer associated with HPV infection in Taiwan region, using data from the National Health Insurance Research Database between 2007 and 2015. Our analysis revealed a significant increase in skin cancer risk among those with HPV, particularly for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), the subtype with the highest observed adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 5.97, 95% CI: 4.96-7.19). The overall aHR for HPV-related skin cancer was 5.22 (95% CI: 4.70-5.80), indicating a notably higher risk in the HPV-positive group. The risk of skin cancer was further stratified by type, with basal cell carcinoma (aHR = 4.88, 95% CI: 4.14-5.74), and melanoma (aHR = 4.36, 95% CI: 2.76-6.89) also showing significant associations with HPV. The study also highlighted regional variations, with increased risks in southern Taiwan and the Kaohsiung-Pingtung area. Key findings emphasize the importance of sun protection, particularly in regions of high UV exposure and among individuals in high-risk occupations. This research contributes to a better understanding of the complex interactions between HPV and skin cancer risk, reinforcing the importance of preventive strategies in public health."

This study assessed the benefits of combining these advanced imaging techniques in a three-step programme in managing high-risk patients. This study included 410 high-risk melanoma patients who underwent a specialised imaging consultation in addition to their regular skin examinations in outpatient care. At each visit, the patients underwent a 3D-TBP, a DD for suspicious findings, and an RCM for unclear DD findings. The histological findings of excisions initiated based on imaging consultation and outpatient care were compared. Imaging consultation detected sixteen confirmed melanomas (eight invasive and eight in situ) in 39 excised pigmented lesions. Outpatient care examination detected seven confirmed melanomas (one invasive and six in situ) in 163 excised melanocytic lesions. The number needed to excise (NNE) in the imaging consultation was significantly lower than that in the outpatient care (2.4 vs. 23.3). The NNE was 2.6 for DD and 2.3 for RCM. DD, 3D-TBP, or RCM detected melanomas that were not detected by the other imaging methods. The three-step imaging programme improves melanoma detection and reduces the number of unnecessary excisions in high-risk patients."
+3874,skin cancer,38927906,AI Applied to Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Profiles from Exhaled Breath Air for Early Detection of Lung Cancer.,"Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are an increasingly meaningful method for the early detection of various types of cancers, including lung cancer, through non-invasive methods. Traditional cancer detection techniques such as biopsies, imaging, and blood tests, though effective, often involve invasive procedures or are costly, time consuming, and painful. Recent advancements in technology have led to the exploration of VOC detection as a promising non-invasive and comfortable alternative. VOCs are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at room temperature, making them readily detectable in breath, urine, and skin. The present study leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms to enhance classification accuracy and efficiency in detecting lung cancer through VOC analysis collected from exhaled breath air. Unlike other studies that primarily focus on identifying specific compounds, this study takes an agnostic approach, maximizing detection efficiency over the identification of specific compounds focusing on the overall compositional profiles and their differences across groups of patients. The results reported hereby uphold the potential of AI-driven techniques in revolutionizing early cancer detection methodologies towards their implementation in a clinical setting."

Many studies have evidenced that this compound has a potential role as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound, making it a promising candidate for reducing the risk of pathogenesis. It has also been found to positively affect various systems in the body, such as the respiratory, digestive, immune, and reproductive systems. Apigenin is effective in treating liver, lung, heart, kidney, neurological diseases, diabetes, and maintaining good oral and skin health. Multiple studies have reported that this compound is capable of suppressing various types of cancer through the induction of apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest, suppressing cell migration and invasion, reduction of inflammation, and inhibiting angiogenesis. When used in combination with other drugs, apigenin increases their efficacy, reduces the risk of side effects, and improves the response to chemotherapy. This review broadly analyzes apigenin's potential in disease management by modulating various biological activities.

+3877,skin cancer,38927131,New Insights into the Role of PPARγ in Skin Physiopathology.,"Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a transcription factor expressed in many tissues, including skin, where it is essential for maintaining skin barrier permeability, regulating cell proliferation/differentiation, and modulating antioxidant and inflammatory responses upon ligand binding. Therefore, PPARγ activation has important implications for skin homeostasis. Over the past 20 years, with increasing interest in the role of PPARs in skin physiopathology, considerable effort has been devoted to the development of PPARγ ligands as a therapeutic option for skin inflammatory disorders. In addition, PPARγ also regulates sebocyte differentiation and lipid production, making it a potential target for inflammatory sebaceous disorders such as acne. A large number of studies suggest that PPARγ also acts as a skin tumor suppressor in both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers, but its role in tumorigenesis remains controversial. In this review, we have summarized the current state of research into the role of PPARγ in skin health and disease and how this may provide a starting point for the development of more potent and selective PPARγ ligands with a low toxicity profile, thereby reducing unwanted side effects."

+3881,skin cancer,38926389,Restricting datasets to classifiable samples augments discovery of immune disease biomarkers.,"Immunological diseases are typically heterogeneous in clinical presentation, severity and response to therapy. Biomarkers of immune diseases often reflect this variability, especially compared to their regulated behaviour in health. This leads to a common difficulty that frustrates biomarker discovery and interpretation - namely, unequal dispersion of immune disease biomarker expression between patient classes necessarily limits a biomarker's informative range. To solve this problem, we introduce dataset restriction, a procedure that splits datasets into classifiable and unclassifiable samples. Applied to synthetic flow cytometry data, restriction identifies biomarkers that are otherwise disregarded. In advanced melanoma, restriction finds biomarkers of immune-related adverse event risk after immunotherapy and enables us to build multivariate models that accurately predict immunotherapy-related hepatitis. Hence, dataset restriction augments discovery of immune disease biomarkers, increases predictive certainty for classifiable samples and improves multivariate models incorporating biomarkers with a limited informative range. This principle can be directly extended to any classification task."

NMSC is an area with great potential for novel application of diagnostic tools including artificial intelligence (AI). In this scoping review, we aimed to describe the applications of AI in the diagnosis and treatment of NMSC. Twenty-nine publications described AI applications to dermatopathology including lesion classification and margin assessment. Twenty-five publications discussed AI use in clinical image analysis, showing that algorithms are not superior to dermatologists and may rely on unbalanced, nonrepresentative, and nontransparent training data sets. Sixteen publications described the use of AI in cutaneous surgery for NMSC including use in margin assessment during excisions and Mohs surgery, as well as predicting procedural complexity. Eleven publications discussed spectroscopy, confocal microscopy, thermography, and the AI algorithms that analyze and interpret their data. Ten publications pertained to AI applications for the discovery and use of NMSC biomarkers. Eight publications discussed the use of smartphones and AI, specifically how they enable clinicians and patients to have increased access to instant dermatologic assessments but with varying accuracies. Five publications discussed large language models and NMSC, including how they may facilitate or hinder patient education and medical decision-making. Three publications pertaining to the skin of color and AI for NMSC discussed concerns regarding limited diverse data sets for the training of convolutional neural networks. AI demonstrates tremendous potential to improve diagnosis, patient and clinician education, and management of NMSC. Despite excitement regarding AI, data sets are often not transparently reported, may include low-quality images, and may not include diverse skin types, limiting generalizability. AI may serve as a tool to increase access to dermatology services for patients in rural areas and save health care dollars. These benefits can only be achieved, however, with consideration of potential ethical costs."
+3886,skin cancer,38925085,Skin-CAD: Explainable deep learning classification of skin cancer from dermoscopic images by feature selection of dual high-level CNNs features and transfer learning.,"Skin cancer (SC) significantly impacts many individuals' health all over the globe. Hence, it is imperative to promptly identify and diagnose such conditions at their earliest stages using dermoscopic imaging. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) methods relying on deep learning techniques especially convolutional neural networks (CNN) can effectively address this issue with outstanding outcomes. Nevertheless, such black box methodologies lead to a deficiency in confidence as dermatologists are incapable of comprehending and verifying the predictions that were made by these models. This article presents an advanced an explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) based CAD system named ""Skin-CAD"" which is utilized for the classification of dermoscopic photographs of SC. The system accurately categorises the photographs into two categories: benign or malignant, and further classifies them into seven subclasses of SC. Skin-CAD employs four CNNs of different topologies and deep layers. It gathers features out of a pair of deep layers of every CNN, particularly the final pooling and fully connected layers, rather than merely depending on attributes from a single deep layer. Skin-CAD applies the principal component analysis (PCA) dimensionality reduction approach to minimise the dimensions of pooling layer features. This also reduces the complexity of the training procedure compared to using deep features from a CNN that has a substantial size. Furthermore, it combines the reduced pooling features with the fully connected features of each CNN. Additionally, Skin-CAD integrates the dual-layer features of the four CNNs instead of entirely depending on the features of a single CNN architecture. In the end, it utilizes a feature selection step to determine the most important deep attributes. This helps to decrease the general size of the feature set and streamline the classification process. Predictions are analysed in more depth using the local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME) approach. This method is used to create visual interpretations that align with an already existing viewpoint and adhere to recommended standards for general clarifications. Two benchmark datasets are employed to validate the efficiency of Skin-CAD which are the Skin Cancer: Malignant vs. Benign and HAM10000 datasets. The maximum accuracy achieved using Skin-CAD is 97.2 % and 96.5 % for the Skin Cancer: Malignant vs. Benign and HAM10000 datasets respectively. The findings of Skin-CAD demonstrate its potential to assist professional dermatologists in detecting and classifying SC precisely and quickly."
+3887,skin cancer,38924866,Promotion of apoptosis in melanoma cells by taxifolin through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway: Screening of natural products using WGCNA and CMAP platforms.,"Melanoma is a skin cancer originating from melanocytes. The global incidence rate of melanoma is rapidly increasing, posing significant public health challenges. Identifying effective therapeutic agents is crucial in addressing this growing problem. Natural products have demonstrated promising anti-tumor activity. In this study, a plant flavonoid, taxifolin, was screened using Weighted Correlation Network Analysis (WGCNA) in combination with the Connectivity Map (CMAP) platform. Taxifolin was confirmed to inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion ability of melanoma A375 and MV-3 cells by promoting apoptosis. Additionally, it suppressed the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) process of melanoma cells. Cyber pharmacological analysis revealed that taxifolin exerts its inhibitory effect on melanoma through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, specifically by downregulating the protein expression of p-PI3K and p-AKT. Notably, the addition of SC-79, an activator of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, reversed the effects of taxifolin on cell migration and apoptosis. Furthermore, in vivo experiments demonstrated that taxifolin treatment slowed tumor growth in mice without significant toxic effects. Based on these findings, taxifolin holds promise as a potential drug for melanoma treatment."

Furthermore, microbial attachment and biofilm formation is not an uncommon problem for medical devices. Even incremental improvements in hemocompatible materials can provide significant benefits for patients in terms of safety and patency as well as substantial cost savings. Herein, a novel but simple strategy is described for coating a range of medical materials, that can be applied to objects of complex geometry, involving plasma-grafting of an ultrathin hyperbranched polyglycerol coating (HPG). Plasma activation creates highly reactive surface oxygen moieties that readily react with glycidol. Irrespective of the substrate, coatings are uniform and pinhole free, comprising O─C─O repeats, with HPG chains packing in a fashion that holds reversibly binding proteins at the coating surface. In vitro assays with planar test samples show that HPG prevents platelet adhesion and activation, as well as reducing (>3 log) bacterial attachment and preventing biofilm formation. Ex vivo and preclinical studies show that HPG-coated nitinol stents do not elicit thrombosis or restenosis, nor complement or neutrophil activation. Subcutaneous implantation of HPG coated disks under the skin of mice shows no evidence of toxicity nor inflammation."

+3896,skin cancer,38924160,Photoprotection: Current developments and controversies.,"This review aimed at summarizing some of the key points that were discussed during the photoprotection session at the International Forum of Dermatology in 2022. This international conference was designed to address prominent topics of clinical dermatology in a holistic way, allowing to articulate multiple viewpoints. Therefore, this review does not claim to be exhaustive, but is instead intended to give an overview of recent developments and ongoing controversies in the field of photoprotection. Cumulative ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure is the major aetiological factor in the development of photoageing, photoimunosuppression and photocarcinogenesis. UVA (320-400 nm) penetrates into the dermis and damages DNA and other intracellular and acellular targets primarily by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). It is the major contributor to photoageing, characterized by fine and coarse wrinkles, dyspigmentation and loss of elasticity. UVB (290-320 nm) is responsible for sunburns through direct damage to DNA by the formation of 6-4 cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and pyrimidine 6-4 pyrimidone photoproducts. Both UVA and UVB exposure increase the risk of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. In recent years, visible light (VL; 400-700 nm) has also been implicated in the exacerbation of conditions aggravated by sun exposure such as hyperpigmentation and melasma. Photoprotection is a critical health strategy to reduce the deleterious effects of UVR and VL. Comprehensive photoprotection strategies include staying in the shade when outdoors, wearing photoprotective clothing including a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses, and the use of sunscreen. Due to the absorption of UV filters, the safety of sunscreens has been questioned. Newer sunscreens are becoming available with filters with absorption even beyond the UV spectrum, offering enhanced protection compared with older products. Prevention of photocarcinogenesis, sun-induced or sunlight-exacerbated hyperpigmentary conditions and drug-induced photosensitivity is an important reason for adopting comprehensive photoprotection strategies."

This article reviews ACL the demographical, clinical, and histological features of ACL, focusing on all associated disorders. Additionally, this review article provides an in-depth discussion of all the mechanisms implicated in the pathogenesis of ACL and all therapeutic options available; we also present an algorithm for the workup of patients with ACL. A systematic literature review was performed on PubMed/Medline and EMBASE databases, searching for all available articles on ACL with no limits on participant age, race, sex, nationality, or publication date. Ninety-eight articles were included. The total number of included patients was 110, with a mean age of 36.4 years at presentation (range 0.25-78) and a M:F sex ratio of 1.24. ACL was most commonly associated with inflammatory disorders (43%) followed by neoplastic disorders (27%). In 73% of the neoplastic-associated cases, ACL occurred on average 2.4 years before malignancy onset. ACL occurs months to years after an underlying inflammatory disorder.

We showed for the first time that these two ASDC subsets are present in inflamed human anogenital tissues where HIV transmission occurs. Their presence in inflamed tissues was supported by single cell RNA analysis of public databases of such tissues including psoriasis diseased skin and colorectal cancer. Almost all previous studies have examined ASDCs as a combined population. Our data revealed that the two ASDC subsets differ markedly in their functions when compared with each other and to pDCs. Relative to their cell functions, both subsets of blood ASDCs but not pDCs expressed co-stimulatory and maturation markers which were more prevalent on CD11c+ ASDCs, thus inducing more T cell proliferation and activation than their CD123+ counterparts. There was also a significant polarisation of naïve T cells by both ASDC subsets toward Th2, Th9, Th22, Th17 and Treg but less toward a Th1 phenotype. Furthermore, we investigated the expression of chemokine receptors that facilitate ASDCs and pDCs migration from blood to inflamed tissues, their HIV binding receptors, and their interactions with HIV and CD4 T cells. For HIV infection, within 2 hours of HIV exposure, CD11c+ ASDCs showed a trend in more viral transfer to T cells than CD123+ ASDCs and pDCs for first phase transfer. However, for second phase transfer, CD123+ ASDCs showed a trend in transferring more HIV than CD11c+ ASDCs and there was no viral transfer from pDCs. As anogenital inflammation is a prerequisite for HIV transmission, strategies to inhibit ASDC recruitment into inflamed tissues and their ability to transmit HIV to CD4 T cells should be considered."

In addition, the hen's egg test on chorioallantoic membrane assay allows irritation potential analysis for topical treatments, but standardized analysis has been limited so far. Medical gas plasma is a topical, routine, approved dermatology treatment. Recent work suggests the potential of this technology in oncology. Its main mode of action is the release of various reactive species simultaneously. Intriguingly, varying plasma feed gas compositions generates customized reactive species profiles previously shown to be optimized for specific applications, such as skin cancer treatment. To support clinical implications, we developed a novel chicken embryo CAM scoring and study scheme and employed the model to analyze 16 different plasma feed gas settings generated by the atmospheric pressure plasmajet kINPen, along with common anticancer drugs (e.g., cisplatin) and physiological mediators (e.g., VEGF). Extensive gas- and liquid-phase plasma reactive species profiling was done and was found to have a surprisingly low correlation with irritation potential parameters. Despite markedly different reactive species patterns, feed gas-modulated kINPen plasma was equally tolerated compared to standard argon plasma. CAM irritation with gas plasmas but not anticancer agents was reversed 48 h after treatment, underlining the only temporary tissue effects of medical gas plasma. Our results indicate a safe therapeutic application of reactive species."

+3904,skin cancer,38923677,Molecular Basis of MC1R Activation: Mutation-Induced Alterations in Structural Dynamics.,"The MC1R protein is a receptor found in melanocytes that plays a role in melanin synthesis. Mutations in this protein can impact hair color, skin tone, tanning ability, and increase the risk of skin cancer. The MC1R protein is activated by the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Previous studies have shown that mutations affect the interaction between MC1R and α-MSH; however, the mechanism behind this process is poorly understood. Our study aims to shed light on this mechanism using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to analyze the Asp84Glu and Asp294His variants. We simulated both the wild-type (WT) protein and the mutants with and without ligand. Our results reveal that mutations induce unique conformations during state transitions, hindering the switch between active and inactive states and decreasing cellular levels of cAMP. Interestingly, Asp294His showed increased ligand affinity but decreased protein activity, highlighting that tighter binding does not always lead to increased activation. Our study provides insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the impact of MC1R mutations on protein activity."

However, data on the utility of existing surveys in capturing neurofibromatosis 1 skin treatment outcomes are lacking. This quantitative study examined the relationship between clinician-rated severity and visibility and patient-rated itch and quality-of-life (QoL) to (1) establish baseline levels of skin- and condition-specific-related QoL, itch, depression and anxiety; (2) identify patient concerns to inform the development and evaluation of skin interventions; and (3) compare the sensitivity of different QoL measures. Validated scales included Skindex-29, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Neurofibromatosis 1-adult quality-of-life (NF1-AdQOL) questionnaire, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). We recruited 100 participants (response rate: 95%). Of these, 42% reported itch and 23% had probable clinical anxiety. Our cohort had higher levels of anxiety and total HADS scores compared to a control population. Using multivariate regression analysis, increasing visibility significantly predicted poorer QoL using the Skindex-29, NF1-AdQOL, and DLQI (p < 0.05); and itch significantly predicted worse QoL in Skindex-29 and NF1-AdQOL (p < 0.05). The highest mean scoring questions in Skindex-29 and NF1-AdQOL concerned worry about worsening skin disease and embarrassment. The highest mean scoring questions in DLQI were regarding itch, pain, and embarrassment. Items asking specifically about cutaneous neurofibromas (cNF) scored higher than comparable skin-specific questions (t-test p value <0.05). In summary, this study provides insights into the factors contributing to impaired QoL, anxiety, and mood in NF1 patients with cutaneous neurofibromas. Key factors identified for use in cNF measures include visibility, itch, anxiety, embarrassment, fears of worsening skin disease, and cNF-specific questions."
+3906,skin cancer,38923589,Actinic keratosis: Current challenges and unanswered questions.,"Actinic keratoses (AK) are common skin lesions associated with chronic exposure to sun. They are believed to be precursors of malignancy as they potentially may progress to invasive squamous cell carcinomas. The goal of current therapies is to reduce the number of AK and to prevent future cancer development. This review aims at providing an overview of the hallmarks of AK and skin field cancerization. We discuss epidemiology trends, risk factors and the state of the art and evidence of the current treatments. We review key figures of AK prevalence from different countries with regard to skin cancer risk and the associated economic burden of AK. We discuss the mutational status in AK lesions and the difficulties encountered by clinicians in evaluating AK visible and invisible lesions, referring to the concept of field cancerization. Based on a systematic literature review, we further evaluate the available treatment options. The presence of subclinical skin alterations in the periphery of visible AK lesions has gained a particular attention as those non-visible lesions are known to contain the same genetic changes as those found in the AK lesions themselves, prompting the concept of 'field cancerization'. Therefore, AK treatment guidelines now recognize the importance of treating the field in patients with AK. A recent systematic literature review and network meta-analysis showed that 5-FU interventions were associated with the best efficacy and a satisfactory acceptability profile compared with other field-directed therapies used in the treatment of AK. Although AK are considered quite common, they lack an accurate descriptive definition and conclusive epidemiologic data. Limited public awareness is a barrier to early and effective treatment, including prevention strategies. While different treatment options are available, there is still a limited understanding of long-term outcomes of treatment as measured by recurrence of cancer prevention."

In 2022, at the International Forum of Dermatology (IFD), a scientific session was entirely dedicated to highlight recent developments on patient-centered approaches in skin cancer. An international panel of different groups of participants involved in a patient's journey on the management of skin cancer presented and discussed challenges and barriers that persist in the field of skin cancer prevention and care pathways. Although primary prevention remains a crucial step in the prevention of melanoma, the different surveys performed during the last 20 years demonstrate that the use of sunscreen increases very slowly. Secondary prevention that includes skin screening and diagnostic measures may benefit from the development of digital tools. To improve adherence, patients need accurate, reliable information about their disease and the treatment options, and this type of content that can also be made available on digital tools. Shared decision-making is a hallmark of a patient-centered approach and requires health care providers who can communicate well to patients and their families, underscoring the pivotal role of health care professionals all through the patient journey. Health care providers have a crucial role in supporting patients through their journey in skin cancer. They will benefit from mobile apps and technologies that have been developed recently to address challenges in skin cancer prevention, detection and care, including those that are primarily directed to the patient. However, more peer-reviewed studies are needed as well as regulations to ensure that apps are accurate, reliable, and up to date."

In this context, chemokines play a pivotal role in recruiting inflammatory cells and influence the tumor, exerting both pro-tumorigenic and anti-tumoral roles. Interactions between these cells is what ultimately hold together and transform the tumor into an efficient machine. A recent study found that chemokines CCL8, CCL15, and CCL20 were upregulated in melanoma cells when co-cultured with macrophages and were associated with poor survival rates. CCL8 and CCL15 also stimulated melanoma cell growth, invasion, and metastasis, and were highly expressed in tumors prone to metastasize, suggesting these chemokines are attractive and independent biomarkers. Understanding the intricated interactions within the tumor microenvironment could lead to prognostic biomarkers and to the development of new therapeutic strategies for melanoma. © 2024 The Author(s).

This study investigates clinical outcomes of acral compared to cutaneous melanoma (CM) patients treated with adjuvant anti-PD-1 after complete resection. All stages III-IV AM and CM patients receiving adjuvant anti-PD-1 after complete resection between 2018 and 2022 were included from the prospective nationwide Dutch Melanoma Treatment Registry. We analyzed recurrence-free survival (RFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), and overall survival (OS). A multivariable Cox regression analysis of RFS was performed to adjust for potential confounders. We included 1958 (86 AM and 1872 CM) patients. At baseline, AM patients more frequently had KIT mutations, higher disease stages, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status, and fewer BRAF and NRAS mutations.

We carried out a thorough literature search (from 1990 to 2024) in the feeding sites of North-western Mexico, a region that hosts important habitats for feeding, development, and reproduction for five of the seven existing sea turtle species. We found 18 reports recording a total of 32 cases of FP and/or ChHV5/Scutavirus chelonidalpha5 in coastal and insular areas of North-western Mexico. Baja California Sur resulted with the highest number of cases (75%). While the first case of ChHV5/Scutavirus chelonidalpha5 infection was reported in 2004, the presence of FP tumours was reported in 2014 and became more frequent between 2019 and 2024. The affected species were black, Chelonia mydas (50%), olive ridley, Lepidochelys olivacea (46.8%) and loggerhead turtles, Caretta caretta (3.2%). Tumours occurred mainly in anterior flippers (46.1%) and neck (22.5%), and most had a nodular and verrucous appearance with a rough surface. In the study region, there is a potential sign of the emergence of the ChHV5/Scutavirus chelonidalpha5 infections and FP disease during the last 20 years, with a rapid increase during the last 10 years. As long as infections by ChHV5/Scutavirus chelonidalpha5 and the prevalence of the FP disease may be potentially influenced by anthropogenic activities, a One Health approach is needed to understand and improve sea turtles' health."

The present study aimed to investigate the possible correlation between the dermoscopic features of BCC and their LC-OCT counterparts. In total, 100 histopathologically confirmed BCC cases were collected at the Dermatologic Clinic of the University of Siena, Italy. Predefined dermoscopic and LC-OCT criteria were retrospectively evaluated, and their frequencies were calculated. The mean (SD) age of our cohort was 65.46 (13.36) years.

In addition, lipid metabolites can alter the surrounding microenvironment in ways that might encourage tumor progression. The reprogramming of lipid metabolism is pivotal in promoting tumorigenesis and cancer progression, with tumors often displaying significant changes in lipid profiles.

+3922,skin cancer,38921018,Biological Activities of Citrus-Derived Extracellular Vesicles on Human Cells: The Role of Preservation.,"Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been identified as important mediators for cell-to-cell communication. Citrus-based EVs in particular offer an excellent platform for nutraceutical delivery systems, as their endemic cargo includes micronutrients (e.g., ascorbic acid), which contribute to their antioxidant capacity. Despite being extensively investigated as to their therapeutic and diagnostic potential, their cargo is inherently unstable and thus directly affected by their storage and preservation. In this study, EVs were isolated from citrus fruit using tangential flow filtration and evaluated for their physicochemical characteristics, antioxidant activity and effects on human cells. To assess how their isolation and preservation methods affect these properties, the EVs were tested immediately after isolation (from fresh and freeze-thawed juices) or following freeze-drying. A measurable biological effect of cryoprotection on citrus-derived EVs was evident, whether during or after isolation. This was more pronounced in the cell-based assays, ranging from -4% to +32% in human skin fibroblast proliferation. Nevertheless, the effects on human cancer cells varied depending on the cell line. Although these results should be considered preliminary observations, subject to further investigation, it is safe to state that any type of preservation is expected to impact the EVs' biological activity."

Therefore, it is necessary to use creams that also contain UV-active substances. Many sunscreens contain titanium dioxide due to its capacity to absorb UV-B wavelengths. In the present study, titan dioxide was introduced in alginate and chitosan-alginate hydrogel composites that are often involved as scaffold compositions in tissue engineering applications. Alginate and chitosan were chosen due to their important role in skin regeneration and skin protection. The composites were cross-linked with calcium ions and investigated using FT-IR, Raman, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The stability of the obtained samples under solar irradiation for skin protection and regeneration was analyzed. Then, the hydrogel composites were assayed in vitro by immersing them in simulated body fluid and exposing them to solar simulator radiation for 10 min. The samples were found to be stable under solar light, and a thin apatite layer covered the surface of the sample with the two biopolymers and titanium dioxide.

Their modification with lipids could diminish the burst release profile for water-soluble molecules. In the case of oleic acid (OA) as a lipid component, an improvement in skin penetration can be expected. Therefore, in the present study, aminopropyl-functionalized MSNs were modified with oleic acid through carbodiimide chemistry and were subsequently incorporated into a semisolid hydrogel for dermal delivery. Doxorubicin served as a model drug. The FT-IR and XRD analysis as well as the ninhydrin reaction showed the successful preparation of the proposed nanocarrier with a uniform particle size (352-449 nm) and negative zeta potential. Transmission electron microscopy was applied to evaluate any possible changes in morphology. High encapsulation efficiency (97.6 ± 1.8%) was achieved together with a sustained release profile over 48 h. The composite hydrogels containing the OA-modified nanoparticles were characterized by excellent physiochemical properties (pH of 6.9; occlusion factor of 53.9; spreadability of factor 2.87 and viscosity of 1486 Pa·s) for dermal application. The in vitro permeation study showed 2.35 fold improvement compared with the hydrogel containing free drug. In vitro cell studies showed that loading in OA-modified nanoparticles significantly improved doxorubicin's cytotoxic effects toward epidermoid carcinoma cells (A431). All of the results suggest that the prepared composite hydrogel has potential for dermal delivery of doxorubicin in the treatment of skin cancer."

This section presents a concise overview of the most recent updates on the significant contribution of different types of 3D cell cultures including spheroids, organoids and organ-on-chip and bio-printed tissues in advancing our understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms. The case studies presented include the 3D cultures of breast cancer (BC), endometriosis, the liver microenvironment and infections. In BC, the establishment of 3D culture models has permitted the visualization of the role of cancer-associated fibroblasts in the delivery of exosomes, as well as the significance of the physical properties of the extracellular matrix in promoting cell proliferation and invasion. This approach has also become a valuable tool in gaining insight into general and specific mechanisms of drug resistance. Given the considerable heterogeneity of endometriosis, 3D models offer a more accurate representation of the in vivo microenvironment, thereby facilitating the identification and translation of novel targeted therapeutic strategies. The advantages provided by 3D models of the hepatic environment, in conjunction with the high throughput characterizing various platforms, have enabled the elucidation of complex molecular mechanisms underlying various threatening hepatic diseases.

Postoperative radiotherapy causes skin contracture, making secondary reconstruction extremely difficult. A 57-year-old man underwent resection of the nasal bone, nasal cartilage, and hard palate for cancer of the nasal cavity. Postoperative radiotherapy (70 Gy) resulted in bilateral osteoradionecrosis. Severe depression deformity of the midface causes a disorder in closing the mouth, resulting in difficulty in conversation and oral intake. We performed simultaneous reconstruction of the bilateral maxillary and nasal hard structures using double free flaps (fibular osteocutaneous and anterolateral thigh flaps). A 16-cm right fibular osteocutaneous flap was elevated, and an 8-cm proximal bone was resected to obtain the length of the peroneal vessels. The distal 8 cm was cut into three pieces while maintaining the blood flow. The removed nonvascularized fibula was processed into two pieces of cortex: nasal bridge and columella. All areas of the skin island were de-epithelialized to bilaterally fill the maxillary sinuses. Next, the ipsilateral anterolateral thigh flap was elevated with the central 6-cm part for closure of the palate and the proximal area to fill the nasal cavity. The distal area consisted of a fascial flap to cover the reconstructed nasal structure. The chimeric double flap allowed for oral intake, conversation, and nasomaxillary prominence. Computed tomography performed 8 months postoperatively showed maintained bony structures. We used the extra fibula as a nonvascularized cortex piece to prevent infection and exposure, which enabled simultaneous reconstruction of the bilateral maxillae and hard nasal structure."

+3940,skin cancer,38918569,Frequency-dependent selection of neoantigens fosters tumor immune escape and predicts immunotherapy response.,"Cancer is an evolutionary process shaped by selective pressure from the microenvironments. However, recent studies reveal that certain tumors undergo neutral evolution where there is no detectable fitness difference amongst the cells following malignant transformation. Here, through computational modeling, we demonstrate that negative frequency-dependent selection (or NFDS), where the immune response against cancer cells depends on the clonality of neoantigens, can lead to an immunogenic landscape that is highly similar to neutral evolution. Crucially, NFDS promotes high antigenic heterogeneity and early immune evasion in hypermutable tumors, leading to poor responses to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Our model also reveals that NFDS is characterized by a negative association between average clonality and total burden of neoantigens. Indeed, this unique feature of NFDS is common in the whole-exome sequencing (WES) datasets (357 tumor samples from 275 patients) from four melanoma cohorts with ICB therapy and a non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) WES dataset (327 tumor samples from 100 patients). Altogether, our study provides quantitative evidence supporting the theory of NFDS in cancer, explaining the high prevalence of neutral-looking tumors. These findings also highlight the critical role of frequency-dependent selection in devising more efficient and predictive immunotherapies."

In our previous work, we decoded genes specifically deregulated by MCPyV early genes as opposed to other polyomaviruses and established functional importance of NDRG1 in inhibiting cellular proliferation and migration in MCC. In the present work, we found the SET protein, (I2PP2A, intrinsic inhibitor of PP2A) upstream of NDRG1 which was modulated by MCPyV early genes, both in hTERT-HK-MCPyV and MCPyV-positive (+) MCC cell lines. Additionally, MCC dermal tumour nodule tissues showed strong SET expression. Inhibition of the SET-PP2A interaction in hTERT-HK-MCPyV using the small molecule inhibitor, FTY720, increased NDRG1 expression and inhibited cell cycle regulators, cyclinD1 and CDK2. SET inhibition by shRNA and FTY720 also decreased cell proliferation and colony formation in MCPyV(+) MCC cells. Overall, these results pave a path for use of drugs targeting SET protein for the treatment of MCC."

Based on the essential functionalities required for skincare products and the mechanisms and treatment methods for the aforementioned dermatological diseases, we summarize the potential advantages of electrospinning technology in these areas, including encapsulation, sustained release, large surface area, and biocompatibility, among others. Furthermore, considering the further commercialization and clinical development of electrospinning technology, we offer our insights on current challenges and future perspectives in these areas, including issues such as ingredients, functionality, residue concerns, environmental impact, and efficiency issues."

BaP is extensively acknowledged as a highly carcinogenic substance to induce multiple forms of cancer, such as lung cancer, skin cancer, and stomach cancer. Recently it is shown to adversely affect the reproductive system. Nevertheless, the potential toxicity of BaP on oocyte quality remains unclear. In this study, we established a BaP exposure model via mouse oral gavage and found that BaP exposure resulted in a notable decrease in the ovarian weight, number of GV oocytes in ovarian, and oocyte maturation competence. BaP exposure caused ribosomal dysfunction, characterized by a decrease in the expression of RPS3 and HPG in oocytes. BaP exposure also caused abnormal distribution of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and induced ER stress, as indicated by increased expression of GRP78. Besides, the Golgi apparatus exhibited an abnormal localization pattern, which was confirmed by the GM130 localization. Disruption of vesicle transport processes was observed by the abnormal expression and localization of Rab10. Additionally, an enhanced lysosome and LC3 fluorescence intensity indicated the occurrence of protein degradation in oocytes. In summary, our results suggested that BaP exposure disrupted the distribution and functioning of organelles, consequently affecting the developmental competence of mouse oocytes."

SCAP exhibits cystic invaginations with papillary structures and a double-layered glandular epithelium linked to the epidermal surface and stromal plasma cells. We are reporting a rare instance of intradermal SCAP in a 55-year-old male. He sought evaluation for a long-standing asymptomatic dark-pink papule in his left popliteal fossa, measuring 0.7 x 0.5 x 0.4 cm. A shave biopsy revealed papillary dermal fibrosis, glandular epithelium with apocrine secretion, and papillary projections without an epidermal connection. Infundibulofollicular keratinization was observed, along with stromal plasma cells. The patient chose local excision as the treatment option. This case highlights the rarity of intradermal SCAP, especially in the left popliteal fossa, with only one other reported case in the literature."

This crosstalk between the virome and KSC populations remains largely unknown. Here, we investigated the effect of HPV8 on KSCs using various mouse models. We observed that the HPV8 early region gene E6 specifically caused Lrig1+ hair follicle junctional zone KSC proliferation and expansion, which would facilitate viral transmission. Within Lrig1+ KSCs specifically, HPV8 E6 bound intracellular p300 to phosphorylate the STAT3 transcriptional regulatory node. This induced ΔNp63 expression, resulting in KSC expansion into the overlying epidermis. HPV8 was associated with 70% of human actinic keratoses. Together, these results define the ""hit-and-run"" mechanism for HPV8 in human actinic keratosis as an expansion of KSCs, which lack melanosome protection and are thus susceptible to sun light-induced malignant transformation."
+3947,skin cancer,38916713,Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy in Non-melanoma Skin Cancers of the Head and Neck.,"Neoadjuvant immunotherapy will change the standard of care for advanced resectable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) and possibly other non-melanoma skin cancers. With pathological complete response rates around 50% for cSCC in early studies, neoadjuvant therapy allows patients the possibility of significant reduction in tumor size, de-escalation of adjuvant therapy, and improved long-term outcomes. Patients must be carefully selected to ensure that there is a margin of safety with respect to resectability, such that if a tumor progresses on neoadjuvant therapy, there remains a curative surgical option that is acceptable to the patient. The optimal treatment paradigm is an area of active research, with many researchers questioning whether adjuvant therapy, or even local therapy, is necessary in patients who seem to have a complete response. The ability to predict who will respond will become even more critical to answer, as a significant number of patients do not want to risk their disease progressing, especially in cosmetically sensitive areas of the head and neck. Recent studies in melanoma show promise for improved response rates using combination therapies, and these strategies may apply to cSCC as well. The use of LAG-3 inhibitors or mRNA vaccine technology may further improve the utility of neoadjuvant strategies."

Different morphological subtypes of BCC are associated with a low or high risk of recurrence and aggressiveness, but the underlying biology of how the individual subtypes arise remains largely unknown. As the majority of BCCs appear to arise from mutations in the same pathway, we hypothesized that BCC development, growth and invasive potential is also influenced by the tumour microenvironment and, in particular, by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and the factors they secrete."

Even though recent genetic studies are reported in acral melanomas, the genetic differences between in-situ and invasive ALM remain unclear. We aimed to analyze specific genetic changes in ALM and compare genetic differences between in-situ and invasive lesions to identify genetic changes associated with the pathogenesis and progression of ALM. We performed whole genome sequencing of 71 tissue samples from 29 patients with ALM. Comparative analyses were performed, pairing in-situ ALMs with normal tissues and, furthermore, invasive ALMs with normal and in-situ tissues. Among 21 patients with in-situ ALMs, 3 patients (14.3%) had SMIM14 , SLC9B1 , FRG1 , FAM205A , ESRRA , and ESPN mutations, and copy number (CN) gains were identified in only 2 patients (9.5%). Comparing 13 invasive ALMs with in-situ tissues, CN gains were identified in GAB2 in 8 patients (61.5%), PAK1 in 6 patients (46.2%), and UCP2 and CCND1 in 5 patients (38.5%). Structural variants were frequent in in-situ and invasive ALM lesions. Both in-situ and invasive ALMs had very low frequencies of common driver mutations. Structural variants were common in both in-situ and invasive ALMs. Invasive ALMs had markedly increased CN gains, such as GAB2 , PAK1 , UCP2 , and CCND1 , compared with in-situ lesions. These results suggest that they are associated with melanoma invasion."

Preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma (PRAME) is a novel antibody that can help differentiate between nevi and melanomas. However, its usefulness remains controversial in AMLs. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the importance of PRAME and diagnostic auxiliary antibodies (Ki-67, p16, HMB-45) in the diagnosis of melanocytic lesions, especially in AMLs. This study included 52 ambiguous melanocytic lesions, 40 nevi, and 40 melanomas. All immunohistochemical studies were performed automatically using the Universal Alkaline Phosphatase Red Detection Kit. Different analytic approaches were used for each antibody based on the literature. Statistically, the multinomial forward stepwise elimination logistic regression analysis was used to create a statistical model to predict the diagnosis of melanocytic lesions based on clinical, morphological, and immunohistochemical data. PRAME positivity was very strong and diffuse in the melanoma group and statistically significantly higher than that of the AML and nevus groups. There was no statistically significant difference between the nevus and AML groups. The Ki-67 proliferation index and HMB-45 staining pattern provided valuable indications for distinguishing between these 3 groups. The P16 antibody was limited in supporting the differential diagnosis. Our statistical model showed that a high mitosis count, central pagetoid spread, and PRAME positivity increased the probability of melanoma against an AML diagnosis. This study showed the advantages of evaluating the PRAME antibody together with morphological features and other immunohistochemical markers (Ki-67 and HMB-45) in the differential diagnosis of melanocytic lesions."

Despite their high cost, there is no evidence of superior outcome from the biological matrices compared to the synthetic meshes. In this study, we aimed to evaluate our experience with TIGR, a synthetic, long-term absorbable mesh, in mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction (MIBR) with a focus on patient-reported outcomes (PROMs). Methods This was a single-trust prospective quality improvement study conducted between 2017 and 2019. The main objectives were complication rates including infection, implant loss, and other surgical complications in patients undergoing TIGR mesh-assisted MIBR in the prepectoral plane for either cancer or risk reduction. PROMs were measured using the validated European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) breast questionnaire module. Clinical evaluations were conducted at one week, three weeks, and 12 months postoperatively. All patients provided written consent, and the audit was registered with the Quality Improvement Department of the organization. Results One hundred and twelve meshes were used in 93 patients with a mean age of 49 (24-75) years and a body mass index (BMI) of 23.4 (19.1-29.6). During the follow-up period, complications occurred in 26 patients (28%), including infection in four (4.3%), complete skin flap necrosis in one (1%), partial flap necrosis in three (3.2%), and implant loss in four (4.3%) patients. PROM data from 41 individuals indicated a moderate overall quality of life (82.7%), with high functional domain scores with relatively lower emotional functioning scores. Symptom domains generally scored poorly except for body image and sexual functioning. Conclusion Mastectomy and immediate prepectoral breast reconstruction using TIGR mesh is safe with low major complication rates. It is associated with high functional and quality of life scores but low scores in symptom domains which could be multifactorial. However, limitations due to study type and follow-up duration suggest caution in generalizing findings."

Knowing the size and structure of the population of CCS is crucial to plan interventions. In this scoping review we reviewed studies that reported prevalence of CCS in Europe. We searched Medline, Web of Science, and Embase using permutations of terms referring to childhood, cancer, survivors, prevalence, registries, and Europe. We followed PRISMA-ScR guidelines to select studies and The Joanna Briggs Institute Prevalence Critical Appraisal Tool to evaluate their quality. From 979 unique studies published between 1989 and 2022, 12 were included. Limited-duration prevalence (LDP) for all childhood cancers, assessed in three studies using counting method, varied between 450 and 1240 persons per million. Complete prevalence (CP) of survivors of any childhood cancer except skin carcinomas, reported in three studies using observed data complemented with modelled data for the unobserved period, varied between 730 and 1110 persons per million. CP of survivors of an embryonal tumour was estimated by completeness index method in six studies. In four of them CP ranged from 48 to 95 persons per million for all embryonal tumours, while CP for those occurring in central nervous system was 43 per million in one study and CP for rhabdomyosarcoma was 17 per million in another. Information on prevalence of CCS in Europe is fragmented and inconsistent. The large variations in LDP and CP estimates were linked to differences in data availability, the selection of populations, prevalence measure, statistical method, incidence period, index date, age at diagnosis and prevalence, cancer types, sex, and, for LDP, also the length of follow-up. Standardisation of methodology and reporting are needed to systematically monitor and compare CCS prevalence in Europe and provide data to help address survivors' needs."

However, half of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) patients remain unresponsive or develop resistance. Here, we show that, during cSCC progression in male mice, cancer cells acquire epithelial/mesenchymal plasticity and change their immune checkpoint (IC) ligand profile according to their features, dictating the IC pathways involved in immune evasion. Epithelial cancer cells, through the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway, and mesenchymal cancer cells, through the CTLA-4/CD80 and TIGIT/CD155 pathways, differentially block antitumor immune responses and determine the response to ICB therapies. Accordingly, the anti-PD-L1/TIGIT combination is the most effective strategy for blocking the growth of cSCCs that contain both epithelial and mesenchymal cancer cells. The expression of E-cadherin/Vimentin/CD80/CD155 proteins in cSCC, HNSCC and melanoma patient samples predicts response to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. Collectively, our findings indicate that the selection of ICB therapies should take into account the epithelial/mesenchymal features of cancer cells."

However, automatic segmentation of melanoma remains a challenging task because it is difficult to incorporate useful texture representations into the learning process. Texture representations are not only related to the local structural information learned by CNN, but also include the global statistical texture information of the input image. In this paper, we propose a transFormer network (SkinFormer) that efficiently extracts and fuses statistical texture representation for Skin lesion segmentation. Specifically, to quantify the statistical texture of input features, a Kurtosis-guided Statistical Counting Operator is designed. We propose Statistical Texture Fusion Transformer and Statistical Texture Enhance Transformer with the help of Kurtosis-guided Statistical Counting Operator by utilizing the transformer's global attention mechanism. The former fuses structural texture information and statistical texture information, and the latter enhances the statistical texture of multi-scale features. Extensive experiments on three publicly available skin lesion datasets validate that our SkinFormer outperforms other SOAT methods, and our method achieves 93.2% Dice score on ISIC 2018.

A clinical and dermoscopic case study.,"Vulvar melanoma is considered rare, but it is the second most frequent vulvar neoplasm; 2% of melanomas in women arise in the vulvar area. It is important to highlight how the characteristics of vulvar melanoma differentiate it from classic cutaneous melanoma. Vulvar melanoma has different risk factors and clinical and dermoscopic characteristics; moreover, it has a higher recurrence rate and a greater likelihood of multifocality. Here, we present a case of a 44-year-old patient with two primary vulvar melanomas located on opposite sides of her vulva. The lesions were both flat, but they had distinct clinical and dermoscopic appearances. Melanoma of the genital tract is likely the result of a multifocal disorder of the melanocytes within the mucosa that inhabit the perineal squamous epithelium. The risk factors of vulvar melanoma differ from those of classical cutaneous melanomas. Vulvar melanoma occurs in an area shielded from ultraviolet radiation; the primary risk factors include chronic inflammatory disease, genetic susceptibility, irritant agents and viral infections. This case study reveals how a close examination of the genital area is important and how dermoscopy can aid in the differential diagnosis of vulvar lesions. Inspections of the genital area should be particularly thorough if a melanoma is detected there, given the higher risk of multifocality in that part of the body."

While the microfluidic method successfully achieves the production of liposomes with well-controlled sizes across various buffer/lipid flow rate ratio (FRR) settings, any adjustments to the FRR inevitably influence the concentration, encapsulation efficiency (EE), and stability of liposomal drugs. Here we describe a controllable cavitation-on-a-chip (CCC) strategy that facilitates the precise regulation of liposomal drug size at any desired FRR. The CCC-enabled size-specific liposomes exhibited striking differences in uptake and biodistribution behaviors, thereby demonstrating distinct antitumor efficacy in both tumor-bearing animal and melanoma patient-derived organoid (PDO) models. Intriguingly, as the liposome size decreased to approximately 80 nm, the preferential accumulation of liposomal drugs in the liver transitioned to a predominant enrichment in the kidneys. These findings underscore the considerable potential of our CCC approach in influencing the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of liposomal nanomedicines."

Subsequently, we validated this finding in clinical samples, and we also found that the expression of lncRNA CYTOR in SKCM was higher as it progressed. lncRNA CYTOR was differentially expressed in patients who responded to immunotherapy, suggesting that it may serve as a biomarker to predict the efficacy of SKCM immunotherapy. In-depth analysis revealed that lncRNA CYTOR expression was strongly correlated with immune cell infiltration, immune response, and immune checkpoint expression. Meanwhile, our experiments revealed that CYTOR affects SKCM cell invasion and clone formation and is associated with the activation of the EMT pathway. In summary, our findings illustrate, for the first time, the value of CYTOR as a potential prognostic and immunotherapeutic response marker in SKCM."

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising therapeutic method for managing cSCC due to its proven ability to target specific areas over time and its low risk of side effects. PDT may cause tissue damage and vascular shutdown, and may regulate local immunological responses. The present study aimed to investigate and compare the early lymphocyte modifications before and after PDT for SCC. A total of 10 patients with SCC were identified by pathological investigation. Initially, all wounds were treated with 20% aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-PDT as the initial stage in the therapeutic procedure.

Solid organ metastases to the breast include malignant melanoma, epithelial carcinoma (adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung and gastrointestinal tract), and sarcoma. A breast neoplasm can be caused by a primary tumor, in-transit metastasis, breast metastasis, and skin metastasis. A 42-year-old female patient presented with a hyperpigmented lesion on the first finger of her left hand. An incisional biopsy was carried out, reporting pigmented epithelioid melanoma. Amputation of the finger was performed, as well as an axillary sentinel lymph node excision. Later during the treatment and follow-up by medical oncology, a breast tumor was located, followed by a protocol and the approach of possible differential diagnoses. Finally, it was characterized as metastatic cutaneous melanoma. The therapeutic approach regarding the possible origin of the metastatic neoplastic character of breast tumors culminated in this case in the palliative treatment with immunotherapy of cutaneous malignant melanoma. The diagnosis of breast metastases from cutaneous malignant melanoma is a real challenge, so an extensive history and high clinical suspicion are crucial in order to provide adequate treatment, despite the gloomy prognosis."

Diagnosis done with AA has become more prominent, with inspection by evaluating skin alterations considered the most important step. Literature on AA diagnosis in cancer patients is scarce. Globally, breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women. Materials and methods Subjects accessing the outpatient Breast Unit Clinic of Padua for BC were evaluated for auricle angiomas, with collected data including a number of angiomas, Romoli's Sectogram sector of identified angiomas, laterality of the auricle with the angioma, age, and laterality of BC. Results Of the 438 subjects evaluated, 129 had BC, and 64 had an identifiable auricle angioma. The odds of an auricular angioma were higher in subjects with BC diagnosis, mainly localized in tumor area II and predominantly ipsilateral to the side affected by BC. Conclusions AA auricle inspection is a simple, quick, and easy diagnostic tool. Screening for the presence and location of auricular angiomas may help health practitioners refer women for BC screening for early diagnosis."

A large number of treatment strategies currently exist for these skin cancer types, ranging from monotherapies to complex multifaceted synergistic interventions including dual therapies, trimodality therapy, and multicomponent combinations therapy. These combinatorial cancer treatments have delivered more favorable results when compared with monotherapies, and although combination treatments increase the cost of treatment, these regimens have lower side effect profiles, decreased resistance, high efficacy and an improved long-term response. Synergistic combination treatments for skin cancer are often complex, wide-ranging and encompass diverse platforms with various mechanisms of action. An understanding of the physiological potential, as well the efficacy of such treatments, is therefore vital to ensure patients receive the best possible treatment. This review therefore focuses on the current advancements and existing non-surgical combinative drug delivery methods utilized for treating skin cancer. It encompasses the diverse pharmaceutical delivery systems, clinical outcomes, and oncology strategies employed and aims to highlight the role of non-surgical combination therapies in enhancing patient compliance, reducing treatment durations, and improving overall survival rates while addressing relapses and metastasis.

We explore the role of AI in pathology, with a specific focus on dermatopathology and neoplastic dermatopathology. AI, encompassing machine learning and deep learning, has demonstrated its potential in tasks ranging from diagnostic applications on whole slide imaging to predictive and prognostic functions in skin pathology. In dermatopathology, studies have assessed AI's ability to identify skin lesions, classify melanomas, and improve diagnostic accuracy. Results indicate that AI, particularly convolutional neural networks, can outperform human pathologists in terms of sensitivity and specificity. AI aids in predicting disease outcomes, identifying aggressive tumors, and differentiating between various skin conditions. Neoplastic dermatopathology showcases AI's prowess in classifying melanocytic lesions, discriminating between melanomas and nevi, and aids dermatopathologists in making accurate diagnoses. Studies emphasize the reproducibility and diagnostic aid that AI provides, especially in challenging cases. In inflammatory and lymphoproliferative dermatopathology, limited research exists, but studies show attempts to use AI to differentiate conditions such as mycosis fungoides and eczema. Although some results are promising, further exploration is needed in these areas. We highlight the extraordinary interest AI has garnered in the scientific community and its potential to assist clinicians and pathologists. Despite the advancements, we have stressed the importance of collaboration between medical professionals, computer scientists, bioinformaticians, and engineers to harness AI's benefits and acknowledging its limitations and risks. The integration of AI into dermatopathology holds great promise, positioning it as a valuable tool rather than as a replacement for human expertise."
+3987,skin cancer,38909731,Interaction of DisBa01 peptide from Bothrops alternatus venom with BRAF melanoma receptors: Modeling and molecular docking.,"Metastatic melanoma is highly aggressive and challenging, often leading to a grim prognosis. Its progression is swift, especially when mutations like BRAFV600E continuously activate pathways vital for cell growth and survival. Although several treatments target this mutation, resistance typically emerges over time. In recent decades, research has underscored the potential of snake venoms and peptides as bioactive substances for innovative drugs, including anti-coagulants, anti-microbial, and anti-cancer agents. Leveraging this knowledge, we propose employing a bioinformatics simulation approach to: a) Predict how well a peptide (DisBa01) from Bothrops alternatus snake venom binds to the melanoma receptor BRAFV600E via Molecular Docking. b) Identify the specific peptide binding sites on receptors and analyze their proximity to active receptor sites. c) Evaluate the behavior of resulting complexes through molecular dynamics simulations. d) Assess whether this peptide qualifies as a candidate for anti-melanoma therapy. Our findings reveal that DisBa01 enhances stability in the BRAFV600E melanoma receptor structure by binding to its RGD motif, an interaction absent in the BRAF WT model. Consequently, both docking and molecular dynamics simulations suggest that DisBa01 shows promise as a BRAFV600E inhibitor."

+3995,skin cancer,38908781,DNA Damage Stress Control Is a Truncated Large T Antigen and Euchromatic Histone Lysine Methyltransferase 2-Dependent Central Feature of Merkel Cell Carcinoma.,"Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive skin cancer with a high mortality rate. Merkel cell polyomavirus causes 80% of MCCs, encoding the viral oncogenes small T and truncated large T (tLT) antigens. These proteins impair the RB1-dependent G1/S checkpoint blockade and subvert the host cell epigenome to promote cancer. Whole-proteome analysis and proximal interactomics identified a tLT-dependent deregulation of DNA damage response (DDR). Our investigation revealed, to our knowledge, a previously unreported interaction between tLT and the histone methyltransferase EHMT2. T antigen knockdown reduced DDR protein levels and increased the levels of the DNA damage marker γH2Ax. EHMT2 normally promotes H3K9 methylation and DDR signaling. Given that inhibition of EHMT2 did not significantly change the MCC cell proteome, tLT-EHMT2 interaction could affect the DDR. With tLT, we report that EHMT2 gained DNA damage repair proximal interactors. EHMT2 inhibition rescued proliferation in MCC cells depleted for their T antigens, suggesting impaired DDR and/or lack of checkpoint efficiency. Combined tLT and EHMT2 inhibition led to altered DDR, evidenced by multiple signaling alterations. In this study, we show that tLT hijacks multiple components of the DNA damage machinery to enhance tolerance to DNA damage in MCC cells, which could explain the genetic stability of these cancers."

Furthermore, most research has focused on cutaneous melanoma rather than acral or mucosal melanoma, although the latter predominates in Asian populations. In this review, we examine and summarize current definitions of resistance to immunotherapy and the epidemiology of resistance to PD-1 inhibition. We also review the available literature on molecular mechanisms of resistance, including how the tumor mutational landscape and tumor microenvironments of immunotherapy-resistant acral and mucosal melanomas may influence resistance. Finally, we review strategies for overcoming resistance to PD-1 inhibition and summarize completed studies and ongoing clinical trials. Our review highlights that improving the understanding of resistance mechanisms, optimizing existing therapies and further studying high-risk populations would maximize the potential of immunotherapy and result in optimized treatment outcomes for patients with melanoma."

Jojoba oil was incorporated in the organogel (OG) base to provide a synergistic effect in treatment of skin cancer. The organoleptic properties, rheological behavior, morphology, and drug content of the OG formulations were investigated with emphasis on the impact of vesicle loading on the OG characteristics. The effect of OG on Mag release and ex-vivo permeation studies were evaluated and compared to free Mag in OG. The biological anti-tumor activity of the OG formulae was assessed using a skin cancer model in mice. All OG formulations exhibited uniform drug distribution with drug content ranging from 92.22 ± 0.91 to 100.45 ± 0.77 %. Rheological studies confirmed the OG shear-thinning flow behavior. Ex-vivo permeation studies demonstrated that the permeation of Mag from all OG formulations surpassed that obtained with free Mag in the OG. The anti-tumor activity studies revealed the superior efficacy of 10-hydroxy-decanoic acid (HDA)-based vesicles incorporated in OG formulations in mitigating 7,12- dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced skin cancer, thereby offering a promising platform for the local delivery of Mag."

The primary types include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and sebaceous cell carcinoma, with Merkel cell carcinoma and melanoma following closely behind. Basal cell carcinoma predominantly affects the lower eyelid, yet various other carcinomas, melanomas, metastases, and neoplasms of diverse origins can arise on both upper and lower eyelids. Risk factors such as advanced age, smoking, and notably, exposure to UV light significantly contribute to the development of these eyelid lesions. Despite the increasing incidence, research on dermatologic eyelid malignancies remains limited. However, such study is imperative given that many systemic oncologic malignancies initially present as metastatic eyelid lesions. This paper provides an in-depth exploration of eyelid anatomy, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment management.Key Points: Eyelid metastases represent less than one percent of all eyelid cancers, yet they often serve as the initial indication of an underlying systemic malignancy. Early detection and treatment is crucial in improving prognosis and quality of life for patients.

+4002,skin cancer,38907612,Histopathologic and Clinical Characterization of Brentuximab Vedotin-associated Rash.,"Rash is one of the commonly observed adverse events with brentuximab vedotin (BV), a CD30-targeted antibody-drug conjugate used to treat cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). However, clinical and histopathologic characterization of BV-associated rash (BVAR) is limited. Distinguishing BVAR from a patient's underlying CTCL can be challenging and can lead to treatment interruptions or even premature drug discontinuation. We performed a thorough clinical and histopathologic retrospective characterization of BVAR from a single institution. Utilizing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and T-cell receptor high-throughput sequencing (TCR-HTS), we were able to isolate skin biopsy specimens from rash clinically suggestive of BVAR that also lacked a dominant TCR clone. A retrospective evaluation was performed of 26 biopsy specimens from 14 patients. Clinical features of BVAR included predominantly morbilliform or maculopapular morphology, delayed onset, and the trend toward moderate to severe classification, often requiring oral steroids. Most histopathologic specimens (25/26) showed spongiotic dermatitis as the primary reaction pattern. Many cases showed subtle findings to support a background interface or lichenoid eruption. Langerhans cell microabscesses were seen in one-fourth of specimens, and eosinophils were present in over one-half of the specimens. There were focal features mimicking CTCL, but these were not prominent. In 17 specimens with immunohistochemistry, the CD4:CD8 ratio in intraepidermal lymphocytes was relatively normal (1-6:1) in 65% (11/17) and 1:1 in 35% (6/17), demonstrating a trend toward increased CD8-positive cells compared with baseline CTCL. We have identified features that can help distinguish BVAR from a patient's CTCL, which can, in turn, help guide appropriate clinical management."

This has led to an inability to accurately classify patients according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) eighth edition staging system because it uses the total number of positive lymph nodes from the CLND to assign a pathologic N stage. We propose a new model for clinical stage III melanoma patients that does not rely on the total number of positive lymph nodes. Instead, it uses Breslow depth, ulceration status, sentinel lymph node metastasis size, and extracapsular extension to stratify patients into groups 1 to 4. We compared our model's ability to predict melanoma-specific survival (MSS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) and locoregional recurrence, and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS-LRFS) to the current AJCC system with and without CLND-data using a Cox proportional hazards model and Akaike Information Criteria weights. Although not reaching our predetermined level of statistical significance of 95%, our model was 5 times more likely to better predict MSS compared with the AJCC model with CLND. In addition, our model was significantly better than the AJCC model without CLND in predicting MSS. Our model performed significantly better than the AJCC model in predicting DMFS and DMFS-LRFS regardless of whether data from CLND were included."

Multiregion sequencing is a genome sequencing analytical technique used for multiple, spatially-separated biopsy tissues that may further our understanding of ITH and tumour evolution. Although genetic mutations in extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) have recently been detected by next-generation sequencing analysis, there have been no reports of ITH based on multiregion sequencing in EMPD. Thus, we clarified the landscape of ITH and tumour evolution in EMPD. We performed whole-exome sequencing on 35 tissues (30 tumour tissues and five normal skin samples as a paired control), collected from five patients with EMPD. The rate of private mutations was significantly higher than that of ubiquitous and shared mutations. Ubiquitous mutations were not present in driver genes, and most driver genes exhibited private and shared mutations. The most frequent base substitution was C>T in almost all lesions, and most mutational signatures corresponded to signature 1, 2, 3, and 8. The types of proposed aetiology in most lesions were based on age and AID/APOBEC family and BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations. Evolutionary trees were characterized by short trunks and long branches due to the extremely high ratio of private mutations. In contrast, pathogenic factors, such as base substitutions, mutational signatures, and proposed aetiology, were shared. Tumour evolution in EMPD appears to be characterized by a high level of genetic ITH with shared background factors."

Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is effective for diagnosis but is limited in its application due to elevated costs. A more affordable dermatoscope with a 400x magnification (D400) has recently been brought to market. The aim of our study was to compare these two imaging techniques for the analysis of pigmented genital tumours. An observational, prospective and mono-centric study was carried out from October 2017 to May 2019, in which clinical, dermatoscopic (20x and 400x) and RCM data from 207 pigmented genital lesions were collected. The images generated via D400 and RCM were analysed by three expert investigators. Similarities between the criteria observed using D400 and RCM were evaluated by each investigator. In total, 207 lesions were included: 183 melanosis, 19 nevi, one basal cell carcinoma (BCC), two condylomas and two melanomas in situ. Our series correlates well with data found in the literature especially for the distribution of different lesions, their topography, and their aspect using x20 dermatoscopy and RCM. Pattern and cell criteria defined using RCM largely paralleled those observed with D400 for all three investigators. Correlation between D400 and RCM was moderate to strong with regards to the identification of the ring pattern and clustered round cells, strong for dendritic and plump cells, and perfect for isolated round cells and spindle cells. D400 is an easy-to-use, cost-effective alternative for the analysis of pigmented genital lesions, particularly for melanosis."

Most patients with NF1 develop skin lesions called cutaneous neurofibromas (cNFs). Currently the only approved therapeutic for NF1 is selumetinib, a mitogen -activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitor. The purpose of this study was to analyze the transcriptome of cNF tumors before and on selumetinib treatment to understand both tumor composition and response. We obtained biopsy sets of tumors both pre- and on- selumetinib treatment from the same individuals and were able to collect sets from four separate individuals. We sequenced mRNA from 5844 nuclei and identified 30,442 genes in the untreated group and sequenced 5701 nuclei and identified 30,127 genes in the selumetinib treated group. We identified and quantified distinct populations of cells (Schwann cells, fibroblasts, pericytes, myeloid cells, melanocytes, keratinocytes, and two populations of endothelial cells). While we anticipated that cell proportions might change with treatment, we did not identify any one cell population that changed significantly, likely due to an inherent level of variability between tumors. We also evaluated differential gene expression based on drug treatment in each cell type. Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) was also used to identify pathways that differ on treatment. As anticipated, we identified a significant decrease in ERK/MAPK signaling in cells including Schwann cells but most specifically in myeloid cells. Interestingly, there is a significant decrease in opioid signaling in myeloid and endothelial cells; this downward trend is also observed in Schwann cells and fibroblasts. Cell communication was assessed by RNA velocity, Scriabin, and CellChat analyses which indicated that Schwann cells and fibroblasts have dramatically altered cell states defined by specific gene expression signatures following treatment (RNA velocity). There are dramatic changes in receptor-ligand pairs following treatment (Scriabin), and robust intercellular signaling between virtually all cell types associated with extracellular matrix (ECM) pathways (Collagen, Laminin, Fibronectin, and Nectin) is downregulated after treatment. These response specific gene signatures and interaction pathways could provide clues for understanding treatment outcomes or inform future therapies."

+4012,skin cancer,38907174,The Current State of Systemic Therapy of Metastatic Uveal Melanoma.,"Uveal melanoma (UM) is genetically a distinct tumor compared to cutaneous melanoma (CM), and due to its low mutational burden, it is far less perceptible to the immune system. Thus, treatments that have revolutionized the treatment of CM remain widely inefficient in metastatic UM or only demonstrate effectiveness in a small subpopulation of patients. To this end, the therapeutic benefit of immune checkpoint blockade is very limited and may come at the expense of severe immune-related adverse events that could potentially affect all organ systems. Notably, tebentafusp, an entirely novel class of anti-cancer drugs, has received official authorization for the treatment of metastatic UM. It is the first agent that demonstrated a survival advantage in a randomized controlled trial of metastatic UM patients. Despite the survival benefit and approval, the restriction of tebentafusp to HLA-A*02:01-positive patients and the low objective response rate indicate the persistent need for additional therapies. Thus, liver-directed therapies are commonly used for tumor control of hepatic metastases and represent a central pillar of the daily management of liver-dominant disease. Further, promising data from targeted therapies independent of MEK-inhibitors, such as the combination of darovasertib and crizotinib, raise hope for additional options in metastatic UM in the future.

All patients received neoadjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy, followed by an en bloc (abdomino)perineal resection of the rectum and posterior vaginal wall. The extent of the vaginal defect necessitated closure using a tissue flap with skin island. The gluteal turnover flap was used for this purpose as an alternative to conventional more invasive myocutaneous flaps (gracilis, gluteus, or rectus abdominis). The gluteal turnover flap was created through a curved incision at a maximum width of 2.5 cm from the edge of the perineal wound, thereby creating a half-moon shape skin island. The subcutaneous fat was dissected toward the gluteal muscle, and the gluteal fascia was incised. Thereafter, the flap was rotated into the defect and the skin island was sutured into the vaginal wall defect. The contralateral subcutaneous fat was mobilized for perineal closure in the midline, after which no donor site was visible.The duration of surgery varied from 77 to 392 min, and the hospital stay ranged between 3 and 16 days. A perineal wound dehiscence occurred in two patients, requiring an additional VY gluteal plasty in one patient. Complete vaginal and perineal wound healing was achieved in all patients. The gluteal turnover flap is a promising least invasive technique to reconstruct posterior vaginal wall defects after abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer."

+4015,skin cancer,38907138,Benign tumors and non-melanoma skin cancers in patients with Fanconi anemia.,"Fanconi anemia (FA) is an inherited bone marrow failure syndrome (IBMFS) characterized by pathogenic variants in the FA/BRCA DNA repair pathway genes. Individuals with FA have an elevated risk of developing myelodysplastic syndrome, acute myeloid leukemia, and solid tumors. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the most effective treatment for FA related bone marrow failure but can increase the risk of cancer development. Information on benign tumors and NMSC is lacking in patients with FA. Our objective was to characterize patients with FA enrolled in the National Cancer Institute IBMFS Study who have experienced non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) and/or benign tumors (BT). A total of 200 patients diagnosed with FA were enrolled in the Institutional Review Board approved study ""Etiologic Investigation of Cancer Susceptibility in IBMFS: A Natural History Study"" (NCT00027274). Through medical records review, we identified 30 patients with at least one NMSC, either squamous or basal cell carcinoma, or benign tumor. The remaining 170 patients comprised the control group. Out of 200 patients, 12 had NMSC, 25 had benign tumors, with an age range of 11-64 and 0-56 years, respectively. The median age at HCT was 30.5 years for NMSC patients, 9 years for benign tumor patients, and 9.1 years for controls. The most common genotype observed was FANCA, followed by FANCC and FANCI. Benign tumors spanned diverse anatomical locations. Early onset NMSC in patients with FA compared to the general population emphasizes the need for consistent monitoring in patients with FA, while the diverse anatomical locations of benign tumors underscore the importance of comprehensive surveillance for timely interventions in managing symptomatology and heightened cancer risk."
+4016,skin cancer,38906758,Tumour necrosis is a valuable histopathological prognostic parameter in melanomas of the vulva and vagina.,"Vulvar and vaginal melanomas (VVMs) are rare and aggressive malignancies with limited prognostic models available and there is no standard reporting protocol. VVMs were selected from six tertiary Canadian hospitals from 2000-2021, resected from patients aged ≥18 years, with 6 months or longer follow-up data, and confirmation of melanocytic differentiation by at least two immunohistochemical markers. Cases were reviewed by pathologists to identify histological biomarkers. Survival outcomes were tested with Kaplan-Meier log-rank, univariate Cox, and multivariate Cox regression. There were 79 VVMs with median follow-up at 26 months. Univariate analysis revealed that tumour necrosis, tumour ulceration, positive lymph nodes, and metastasis at diagnosis were significantly associated with disease-specific mortality, progression, and metastasis. Multivariate analysis identified tumour necrosis as an independent prognostic factor for disease-specific mortality (HR 4.803, 95% CI 1.954-11.803, p<0.001), progression (HR 2.676, 95% CI 1.403-5.102, p=0.003), and time-to-metastasis for non-metastatic patients at diagnosis (HR 3.761, 95%CI 1.678-8.431, p=0.001). Kaplan-Meier survival analyses demonstrated that tumour necrosis was a poor prognostic factor for disease-specific, progression-free, and metastasis-free survival (p<0.001 for all comparisons). Vaginal melanomas displayed decreased survival compared to vulvar or clitoral melanomas. This study identifies tumour necrosis as an independent prognostic factor for VVMs. Vaginal melanomas specifically showed worse survival outcomes compared to vulvar or clitoral melanomas, consistent with previously reported findings in the literature, emphasising the importance of differentiating between these primary tumour epicentres for prognostication and treatment planning in the care of genital melanoma patients."

The bluish, blue-whitish, or blue-white veil (BWV) is a critical feature for diagnosing melanoma, yet research into detecting BWV in dermatological images is limited. This study utilizes a non-annotated skin lesion dataset, which is converted into an annotated dataset using a proposed imaging algorithm (color threshold techniques) on lesion patches based on color palettes. A Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) is designed and trained separately on three individual and combined dermoscopic datasets, using custom layers instead of standard activation function layers. The model is developed to categorize skin lesions based on the presence of BWV. The proposed DCNN demonstrates superior performance compared to the conventional BWV detection models across different datasets. The model achieves a testing accuracy of 85.71 % on the augmented PH2 dataset, 95.00 % on the augmented ISIC archive dataset, 95.05 % on the combined augmented (PH2+ISIC archive) dataset, and 90.00 % on the Derm7pt dataset. An explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) algorithm is subsequently applied to interpret the DCNN's decision-making process about the BWV detection. The proposed approach, coupled with XAI, significantly improves the detection of BWV in skin lesions, outperforming existing models and providing a robust tool for early melanoma diagnosis."

A narrative review of the PubMed database was performed to establish the correlation between ultrasound findings and histopathologic/dermoscopic findings for cutaneous neoplasms. Articles were divided into the following four categories: melanocytic, keratinocytic/epidermal, appendageal, and soft tissue/neural neoplasms. Review of the literature revealed that ultrasound findings and histopathology findings were strongly correlated regarding the depth of a cutaneous neoplasm. Morphological characteristics were correlated primarily in soft tissue/neural neoplasms. Overall, there is a paucity of literature on the correlation between high-frequency ultrasound and histopathology of cutaneous neoplasms. Further studies are needed to investigate this correlation in various dermatologic conditions."

This systematic review rigorously examines SCACP through an analysis of 78 cases documented between 1980 and 2024. The study aims to provide a comprehensive review of the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment modalities, and outcomes associated with SCACP, while also reappraising its associations, particularly with NS. SCACP predominantly affects older adults, with an average age of 66.3 years and a slight male predominance, commonly presenting as ulcerated nodules or plaques on the scalp. This review highlights the aggressive nature of SCACP, evidenced by significant rates of metastasis and recurrence. Treatment is primarily surgical, with Mohs micrographic surgery offering potential benefits in terms of margin control and cosmetic outcomes. The association of SCACP with NS is critically evaluated, suggesting a complex etiopathogenesis and underscoring the importance of recognizing this association for timely diagnosis and management. Our review also briefly discusses potential pitfalls faced by clinicians in the diagnosis of SCACP. Our findings emphasize the need for standardized treatment protocols and further research into targeted therapies to improve patient outcomes in SCACP."

Similar to that in humans, feline SCC can be highly invasive locally; however, its metastasis rate is low. Thus, effective local treatment may be curative for most patients, and includes surgery, electrochemotherapy (ECT), cryosurgery, or a combination of these. However, this neoplasia can manifest more aggressively in some patients, leading to higher recurrence rates. In humans, perineural invasion (PNI) has been described as a relevant tumor dissemination pathway associated with high-risk SCC, resulting in higher recurrence rates, resistance to local treatments, and short survival. However, PNI and its prognostic value have not been described in feline SCC. This study aimed to evaluate the PNI in a feline population with SCC treated with ECT and correlate its presence with the occurrence of local recurrence and other clinical variables."

Genistein is a soy-derived isoflavone found in huge amounts in soy, along with the plants of the Fabaceae family. Scientific studies have demonstrated the beneficial effects of genistein on various health conditions. Genistein presents a broad range of pharmacological activities, including anticancer, neuroprotective, cardioprotective, antiulcer, anti-diabetic, wound healing, anti-bacterial, antiviral, skin, and radioprotective effects. However, the hydrophobic nature of genistein results in constrained absorption and restricts its therapeutic potential. In this review, the number of nanocarriers for genistein delivery has been explored, such as polymeric nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carriers, solid lipid nanoparticles, liposomes, micelles, transferosomes, and nanoemulsions and nanofibers.

Therapies that inhibit collagen synthesis have potential as antifibrotic agents. We identify the collagen chaperone cyclophilin B as a major cellular target of the natural product sanglifehrin A (SfA) using photoaffinity labeling and chemical proteomics. Mechanistically, SfA inhibits and induces the secretion of cyclophilin B from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and prevents TGF-β1-activated myofibroblasts from synthesizing and secreting collagen type I in vitro, without inducing ER stress or affecting collagen type I mRNA transcription, myofibroblast migration, contractility, or TGF-β1 signaling. In vivo, SfA induced cyclophilin B secretion in preclinical models of fibrosis, thereby inhibiting collagen synthesis from fibrotic fibroblasts and mitigating the development of lung and skin fibrosis in mice. Ex vivo, SfA induces cyclophilin B secretion and inhibits collagen type I secretion from fibrotic human lung fibroblasts and samples from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Taken together, we provide chemical, molecular, functional, and translational evidence for demonstrating direct antifibrotic activities of SfA in preclinical and human ex vivo fibrotic models. Our results identify the cellular target of SfA, the collagen chaperone cyclophilin B, as a mechanistic target for the treatment of organ fibrosis."

We observed prominent antitumor activity of OSU13 in melanoma, colon and breast cancer cells, organoids derived from patients with melanoma, and mice bearing colon tumors associated with G2 cell cycle arrest, senescence, and apoptosis. OSU13-treated cells displayed DNA damage and micronuclei that triggered the cytosolic DNA-sensing cGAS/STING pathway.

While several photo-protectants offer defense against ultraviolet radiation (UV-R), their effectiveness is often limited by photo-instability. Sunset Yellow (SY), an FDA-approved food dye, possesses significant UV-R and visible light absorption properties. However, its photoprotective potential has remained unexplored. Our investigation reveals that SY exhibits remarkable photostability for up to 8 h under both UV-R and sunlight. Notably, SY demonstrates the ability to quench ROS, including singlet oxygen ("

Despite a pressing need for effective diagnosis of this highly fatal disease, there are no clinically approved MIA detection ELISA kits available. A recommended MIA threshold has not yet been defined, mostly by reason of variability in immunoglobulins' affinity and stability, the difference in sample preparation and assay conditions. Here we present a pair of high-affinity DNA aptamers developed as an alternative recognition and binding element for MIA detection. Their stability and reproducible synthesis are expected to ensure this analysis under standard conditions. The devised aptamer-based solid-phase microassay of model standard and control human sera involves luciferase NLuc as a highly sensitive reporter.

However, precise quantification of PD-L1+ EVs in clinical samples remains challenging due to their sparse concentration and the enormity of the number of background EVs in human plasma, limiting applicability of conventional approaches. In this study, we develop a high-throughput droplet-based extracellular vesicle analysis (DEVA) assay for ultrasensitive quantification of EVs in plasma that are dual positive for both PD-L1 and tetraspanin (CD81) known to be expressed on EVs. We achieve a performance that significantly surpasses conventional approaches, demonstrating 360× enhancement in the limit of detection (LOD) and a 750× improvement in the limit of quantitation (LOQ) compared to conventional plate enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA). Underlying this performance is DEVA's high throughput analysis of individual EVs one at a time and the high specificity to targeted EVs "

NB-UVB can be used as monotherapy or part of a multimodality treatment regimen. There is limited evidence on the effectiveness and optimal patients of NB-UVB in combination with systemic therapies in MF. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of the combination versus NB-UVB monotherapy in early-stage MF and if plaque lesion status was related to these effects.

Although Pak1 has been considered to promote cancer development, its overall function remains poorly understood. To clarify the functional significance of Pak1 in detail, we sought to evaluate the possible effect of an allosteric inhibitor against PAK1 (NVS-PAK1-1) on a syngeneic mouse model. To this end, we established two cell lines, 9AS1 and 19AS1, derived from DMBA/TPA-induced squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) that engrafted in FVB mice. Based on our present results, NVS-PAK1-1 treatment significantly inhibited the growth of tumors derived from 9AS1 and 19AS1 cells in vitro and in vivo. RNA-sequencing analysis on the engrafted tumors indicates that NVS-PAK1-1 markedly potentiates the epidermal cell differentiation and enhances the immune response in the engrafted tumors. Consistent with these observations, we found an expansion of Pan-keratin-positive regions and potentially elevated infiltration of CD8-positive immune cells in NVS-PAK1-1-treated tumors as examined by immunohistochemical analyses. Together, our present findings strongly suggest that PAK1 is tightly linked to the development of SCC, and that its inhibition is a promising therapeutic strategy against SCC."

Rarely, individuals with linear epidermal nevi transmit to their children the inherited form of EHK, also known as epidermolytic ichthyosis, characterized by generalized erythema, blistering, and scaling at birth evolving to widespread hyperkeratosis. We present an updated review of reported cases of linear epidermal nevi with EHK exhibiting transmission of epidermolytic ichthyosis to guide important considerations in the care of individuals with epidermal nevi. Clinical characteristics of linear epidermal nevi do not reliably predict the presence of EHK. All reported cases of transmission to offspring have occurred in individuals with linear epidermal nevi involving more than one anatomic area suggesting increased reproductive risk with involvement of two or more anatomic sites. Therefore, genetics consultation is recommended for these individuals with biopsy-confirmed EHK. For individuals with smaller areas of epidermal nevus involvement, the implications are less well known, though genetics consultation may still be considered for those interested in further discussion of general reproductive risk."

In this phase I/Ib study, we evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and antitumor activity of SAR'459 ± cemiplimab (intravenous) in patients with advanced solid tumors. Increasing doses of SAR'459 were administered every 2 or 3 weeks (Q2W, Q3W) alone (Part 1A) or with 3 mg/kg cemiplimab Q2W or 350 mg Q3W (Part 1B). In Part 2A (dose expansion), melanoma patients were randomly (1:1) administered 22.5 or 7.5 mg/kg SAR'459. In Part 2B (dose expansion), 22.5 mg/kg SAR'459 and 350 mg cemiplimab Q3W were administered. The primary end points were maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administered dose (MAD; Part 1), preliminary antitumor activity (Part 2B), and optimal monotherapy dose (Part 2A). Twenty-eight and 24 patients were treated in Parts 1A and 1B, respectively; MTD was not reached, MAD was 15 (Q2W) and 22.5 mg/kg (Q3W) alone and in combination, respectively. Fourteen and 95 patients, including 14 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, were treated in Parts 2A and 2B, respectively. The population PK model yielded satisfactory goodness-of-fit plots and adequately described the observed data by a two-compartment PK model with linear elimination. Objective responses were not observed in Parts 1 and 2A. In Part 2B, objective response rate was 8.4% and 7.1% across tumor types and the HCC cohort, respectively. The most frequent treatment-emergent adverse effects were hemorrhagic events (43.5%), keratoacanthoma (6.8%), and skin neoplasms (6.2%). Fatal bleeding occurred in 21.4% HCC patients despite the implementation of mitigation measures. SAR'459 monotherapy and combination with cemiplimab appeared relatively safe and tolerable in limited number of patients in dose escalation. However, the study was discontinued due to the unclear efficacy of SAR'459 and bleeding risk, particularly in HCC patients."

RARRES1, a gene responsive to retinoic acid receptors, displays varied functions in various cancer types. However, the specific role and underlying mechanisms of RARRES1 in SKCM are still unclear. GSE15605 was utilized to analyze the expression of RARRES1 in SKCM. Subsequently, the TCGA and GEO databases were employed to investigate the relationships between RARRES1 and clinicopathological parameters, as well as the prognostic implications and diagnostic efficacy of RARRES1 in SKCM. GO, KEGG, and GSEA analyses were conducted to explore the potential functions of RARRES1. Furthermore, the associations between RARRES1 and immune infiltration were examined. Genomic alterations and promoter methylation levels of RARRES1 in SKCM were assessed using cBioPortal, UALCAN, and the GEO database. Finally, RARRES1 expression in SKCM was validated through immunohistochemistry, and its functional role in SKCM progression was elucidated via in vivo and in vitro experiments. We found that RARRES1 was downregulated in SKCM compared with normal tissues, and this low expression was associated with worse clinicopathological features and poor prognosis of SKCM. The diagnostic efficacy of RARRES1, as determined by ROC analysis, was 0.732. Through GO, KEGG, and GSEA enrichment analysis, we identified 30 correlated genes and pathways that were mainly enriched in the tumor immune microenvironment, proliferation, apoptosis, and autophagy. Additionally, RARRES1 expression was found to be positively related to the infiltration of various immune cells in SKCM, particularly macrophages and T helper cells, among others. Analysis of genomic alterations and promoter methylation revealed that shallow deletion and hypermethylation of the RARRES1 promoter could lead to reduced RARRES1 expression. IHC validation confirmed the downregulation of RARRES1 in SKCM. Moreover, overexpression of RARRES1 inhibited the proliferation and migration of A375 cells, promoted apoptosis, and inhibited autophagic flux. In the mouse xenograft model, RARRES1 overexpression also suppressed SKCM tumor growth. Collectively, these findings suggest that RARRES1 may function as a suppressor and could potentially serve as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for SKCM."
+4073,skin cancer,38898234,Mutation analysis in individual circulating tumor cells depicts intratumor heterogeneity in melanoma.,"Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is the cornerstone of liquid biopsy diagnostics, revealing clinically relevant genomic aberrations from blood of cancer patients. Genomic analysis of single circulating tumor cells (CTCs) could provide additional insights into intra-patient heterogeneity, but it requires whole-genome amplification (WGA) of DNA, which might introduce bias. Here, we describe a novel approach based on mass spectrometry for mutation detection from individual CTCs not requiring WGA and complex bioinformatics pipelines. After establishment of our protocol on tumor cell line-derived single cells, it was validated on CTCs of 33 metastatic melanoma patients and the mutations were compared to those obtained from tumor tissue and ctDNA. Although concordance with tumor tissue was superior for ctDNA over CTC analysis, a larger number of mutations were found within CTCs compared to ctDNA (p = 0.039), including mutations in melanoma driver genes, or those associated with resistance to therapy or metastasis. Thus, our results demonstrate proof-of-principle data that CTC analysis can provide clinically relevant genomic information that is not redundant to tumor tissue or ctDNA analysis."

The diagnostic criteria of NF2 have been regularly revised. Clinical criteria for NF2 were first formulated at the National Institutes of Health Consensus Conference in 1987 and revised in 1990. Revised criteria were also proposed by the Manchester group in 1992 and by the National Neurofibromatosis Foundation (NNFF) in 1997. The 2011 Baser criteria improved the sensitivity of diagnostic criteria, particularly for patients without bilateral vestibular schwannomas. Revisions to the Manchester criteria were published in 2019, with replacement of ""glioma"" by ""ependymoma,"" removal of ""neurofibroma,"" addition of an age limit of 70 years for development of vestibular schwannomas, and introduction of molecular criteria, which led to the most widely used criteria. In 2022, the criteria were reviewed and updated by the international committee of NF experts. In addition to changes in diagnostic criteria, the committee recommended the use of ""schwannomatosis"" as an umbrella term for conditions that predispose to schwannomas. Each type of schwannomatosis was classified by the gene containing the disease-causing pathogenic variant. Molecular data from NF2 patients led to further clarification of the diagnostic criteria for NF2 mosaic phenotypes. Given all these changes, the diagnostic criteria of NF2 may be confusing. Herein, to help healthcare professionals who diagnose NF2 conditions in the clinical setting, we review the historical development of diagnostic criteria."

Sonidegib and vismodegib are oral HHIs that were approved for treatment of patients with advanced BCC after demonstrating promising efficacy in the pivotal Phase II BOLT (NCT01327053) and ERIVANCE (NCT00833417) trials, respectively. However, the incidence and types of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) observed with these agents may limit continuous use of HHIs and ultimately impact clinical outcomes. In this review, we summarize the safety and tolerability profiles of sonidegib and vismodegib and discuss potential management strategies for HHI class-effect AEs, including muscle spasms, creatine phosphokinase increase, alopecia, and dysgeusia. These AEs primarily occur early in treatment and can lead to treatment discontinuation. Differences in the pharmacokinetic profiles of sonidegib and vismodegib may contribute to the variability noted in times to onset and resolution of these and other AEs. Evidence suggests that protocol modifications, such as treatment interruptions and dose reductions, are effective ways to manage AEs while maintaining disease control. Nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic interventions may also be considered as part of an AE management strategy. Overall, healthcare providers and patients with advanced BCC should be aware of the HHI class-effect AEs and plan effective management strategies to avoid treatment discontinuation and optimize therapeutic response."

Blisters in the pharynx and esophagus are well-documented, particularly in dystrophic EB (DEB). However, there have been few reports of mucocutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the head and neck region, for which surgery is usually avoided. This report presents the first case of free jejunal flap reconstruction after total pharyngolaryngoesophagectomy for hypopharyngeal cancer in a 57-year-old patient with DEB. The patient with a known diagnosis of DEB had a history of SCC of the left hand and esophageal dilatation for esophageal stricture. PET-CT imaging during examination of systemic metastases associated with the left-hand SCC revealed abnormal accumulation in the hypopharynx, which was confirmed as SCC by biopsy. Total pharyngolaryngoesophagectomy was performed, followed by reconstruction of the defect using a free jejunal flap. A segment of the jejunum, approximately 15 cm in length, was transplanted with multiple vascular pedicles. The patient made an uneventful recovery postoperatively and was able to continue oral intake 15 months later with no complications and no recurrence of SCC in the head and neck region. While cutaneous SCC is common in DEB, extracutaneous SCC is relatively rare. In most previous cases, non-surgical approaches with radiotherapy and chemotherapy were chosen due to skin fragility and multimorbidity. In the present case, vascular fragility and mucosal damage of the intestinal tract were not observed, and routine vascular and enteric anastomoses could be performed, with an uneventful postoperative course. Our findings suggest that highly invasive surgery, including free tissue transplantation such as with a free jejunal flap, can be performed in patients with DEB."

The aim of the present study was to investigate the colonization of S. aureus on the skin of pruritic and non-pruritic HD patients, and the influence of S. aureus and S. aureus-secreted α-toxin on skin barrier function-related protein expression. In this study, a higher relative S. aureus count in pruritic HD patients compared to non-pruritic HD patients and healthy subjects were revealed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. S. aureus and α-toxin decreased mRNA and protein expression levels of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), ovo-like transcriptional repressor 1 (OVOL1), and filaggrin (FLG) in keratinocytes. In addition, anti-alpha-hemolysin (anti-hla) was used as an α-toxin neutralizer, and it successfully abrogated S. aureus-induced AHR, OVOL1, and FLG mRNA and protein expression downregulation. Mechanistically, α-toxin could decrease FLG activity by preventing the recruitment of AHR to the FLG promoter region. In conclusion, pruritic HD patients had higher S. aureus colonization, with S. aureus-secreted α-toxin suppressing FLG expression through the AHR-FLG axis."

However, their efficacy as monotherapy is limited, and combination immunotherapies are being explored to improve outcomes. In this study, we investigated a combination immunotherapy involving an anti-PD-1 antibody that blocks the major adaptive immune-resistant mechanisms, a BRAF inhibitor that inhibits melanoma cell proliferation, and multiple primary immune-resistant mechanisms, such as cancer cell-derived immunosuppressive cytokines, and a Toll-like receptor 7 agonist that enhances innate immune responses that promote antitumor T-cell induction and functions. Using a xenogeneic nude mouse model implanted with human BRAF-mutated melanoma, a BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib was found to restore T-cell-stimulatory activity in conventional dendritic cells by reducing immunosuppressive cytokines, including interleukin 6, produced by human melanoma. Additionally, intravenous administration of the Toll-like receptor 7 agonist DSR6434 enhanced tumor growth inhibition by vemurafenib through stimulating the plasmacytoid dendritic cells/interferon-α/natural killer cell pathways and augmenting the T-cell-stimulatory activity of conventional dendritic cells. In a syngeneic mouse model implanted with murine BRAF-mutated melanoma, the vemurafenib and DSR6434 combination synergistically augmented the induction of melanoma antigen gp100-specific T cells and inhibited tumor growth. Notably, only triplet therapy with vemurafenib, DSR6434, and the anti-PD-1 antibody resulted in complete regression of SIY antigen-transduced BRAF-mutated melanoma in a CD8 T-cell-dependent manner. These findings indicate that a triple-combination strategy targeting adaptive and primary resistant mechanisms while enhancing innate immune responses that promote tumor-specific T cells may be crucial for effective tumor eradication."

Molecularly imprinted polymers are highly efficient pretreatment materials in achieving specific recognition of target molecules. However, the traditional template molecule (EA) could not be absolutely removed. Hence, template leakage continues to occur during the sample preparation process, leading to a lack of accuracy in the quantification of EA in actual samples, particularly for trace analytes. In addition, another drawback of EA as an imprinting template is that EA possesses poor solubility and a high price. Gallic acid (GA), called dummy templates, was employed for the synthesis of MIPs as a solution to these challenges. The approach used in this study was boronate affinity-based oriented surface imprinting. The prepared dummy-imprinted nanoparticles exhibited several significant advantages, such as good specificity, high binding affinity ((4.89 ± 0.46) × 10"

Individuals with fair skin have an average lifetime risk of around 30% for developing BCC, and there is a noticeable upward trend in its incidence rate. The principal treatment objectives for BCC involve achieving the total excision of the tumor while maximizing the preservation of function and cosmesis. Surgery is considered the treatment of choice for BCC for two main reasons: it allows for the highest cure rates and facilitates histological control of resection margins. However, in the subgroup of patients with low-risk recurrence or medical contraindications for surgery, new non-surgical treatment alternatives can provide an excellent oncological and cosmetic outcome. An evident and justified instance of these local therapies occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, a period when surgical interventions carried out in hospital settings were not a viable option."

This study aimed to validate the Lithuanian version of the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) 2.0 and utilise it to identify scar evaluation differences and correlations among POSAS scores and specific aesthetic facial regions, age, gender, surgery types, and short- and long-term QoL. Employing a prospective longitudinal design, 100 patients with facial scars after surgical BCC removal were enrolled. The validation phase confirmed the translated POSAS 2.0 psychometric properties, while the pilot phase used statistical analyses to compare scores among demographic and clinical groups and evaluate correlations between scar assessment and QoL. The findings indicate that the translated Lithuanian version of POSAS 2.0 exhibits good psychometric properties, revealing insights into aesthetic satisfaction with post-surgical facial scars and their impact on QoL. The Lithuanian version of the POSAS 2.0 was established as a valid instrument for measuring post-surgical linear scars. QoL with scar assessment statistically significantly correlates, 6 months after surgery, with worse scores, particularly notable among women, younger patients, and those with tumours in the cheek region."

For those facing non-metastatic PC necessitating intervention, solely local treatments may not suffice, leading to a possible transition toward systemic therapies, including androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), chemotherapy, and therapies targeting androgen. Yet, these systemic treatments often bring about considerable adverse effects. Additionally, it is observed that overweight men are at a higher risk of developing aggressive forms of PC, advancing to metastatic stages, and succumbing to the disease. Consequently, there is a pressing demand for new treatment options that carry fewer side effects and enhance the current standard treatments, particularly for the majority of American men who are overweight or obese. In this article, we will review the metabolic response to ADT and how lifestyle modulation can mitigate these ADT-associated metabolic responses with a particular focus on the two clinical trials, Carbohydrate and Prostate Study 1 (CAPS1) and Carbohydrate and Prostate Study 2 (CAPS2), which tested the effects of low-carbohydrate diets on the metabolic side effects of ADT and PC progression, respectively. Furthermore, we will summarize the findings of serum metabolomic studies to elucidate the potential mechanisms by which ADT and low-carbohydrate diets can affect the metabolic response to mitigate the metabolic side effects while maximizing therapeutic efficacy."
+4098,skin cancer,38893081,Skin Malignancies Due to Anti-Cancer Therapies.,"Skin cancers involve a significant concern in cancer therapy due to their association with various treatment modalities. This comprehensive review explores the increased risk of skin cancers linked to different anti-cancer treatments, including classic immunosuppressants such as methotrexate (MTX), chemotherapeutic agents such as fludarabine and hydroxyurea (HU), targeted therapies like ibrutinib and Janus Kinase inhibitors (JAKi), mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway (MAPKP) inhibitors, sonic hedgehog pathway (SHHP) inhibitors, and radiotherapy. MTX, a widely used immunosuppressant in different fields, is associated with basal cell carcinoma (BCC), cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), and cutaneous melanoma (CM), particularly at higher dosages. Fludarabine, HU, and other chemotherapeutic agents increase the risk of non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs), including cSCC and BCC. Targeted therapies like ibrutinib and JAKi have been linked to an elevated incidence of NMSCs and CM. MAPKP inhibitors, particularly BRAF inhibitors like vemurafenib, are associated with the development of cSCCs and second primary melanomas (SPMs). SHHP inhibitors like vismodegib have been linked to the emergence of cSCCs following treatment for BCC. Additionally, radiotherapy carries carcinogenic risks, especially for BCCs, with increased risks, especially with younger age at the moment of exposure. Understanding these risks and implementing appropriate screening is crucial for effectively managing patients undergoing anti-cancer therapies."

Exploring the genetic nuances of cSCC and investigating molecular approaches stands as a potential avenue for improving outcomes in high-risk patients. This retrospective case-control study involved two cohorts, one of 14 patients (the ""discovery cohort"") and the other of 12 patients (the ""validation cohort""), with cSCC located in the head/neck anatomical region and diagnosed at the pT2 stage. Overall, cases developed early local relapses of the disease, whereas controls never relapsed during the entire follow-up period. A next-generation sequencing (NGS) approach conducted on histological samples revealed that TP53 and CDKN2A were the most frequently mutated genes in our series. No specific mutations were identified as potential prognostic or therapeutic targets. Controls exhibited a tendency toward a higher mutational rate compared to cases. It is possible that an increased number of mutations could prompt the cSCC to expose more antigens, becoming more immunogenic and facilitating recognition by the immune system. This could enhance and sustain the immunological response, potentially preventing future recurrences."

Melanoma is a cancer type with high immunogenicity; thus, immunotherapies are used as first-line treatment for advanced melanoma patients. Although immunotherapies are working well, not all the patients are benefitting from them. A lack of a comprehensive understanding of immune regulation in the melanoma tumour microenvironment is a major challenge of patient stratification. Overexpression of CD155 has been reported as a key factor in melanoma immune regulation for the development of therapy resistance. A more thorough understanding of the actions of current immunotherapy strategies, their effects on immune cell subsets, and the roles that CD155 plays are essential for a rational design of novel targets of anti-cancer immunotherapies. In this review, we comprehensively discuss current anti-melanoma immunotherapy strategies and the immune response contribution of different cell lineages, including tumour endothelial cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, cytotoxic T cells, cancer-associated fibroblast, and nature killer cells. Finally, we explore the impact of CD155 and its receptors DNAM-1, TIGIT, and CD96 on immune cells, especially in the context of the melanoma tumour microenvironment and anti-cancer immunotherapies."

+4106,skin cancer,38892441,A Narrative Review of the Role of Estrogen (Receptors) in Melanoma.,"In this narrative review, we attempt to provide an overview of the evidence regarding the role of estrogen (receptors) in cutaneous melanoma (CM). We reviewed 68 studies and 4 systematic reviews and meta-analyses published from 2002 up to and including 2022. The prevailing presence of estrogen receptor β (ERβ) instead of estrogen receptor α (ERα) in CM is notable, with ERβ potentially playing a protective role and being less frequently detected in progressive cases. While men with CM generally experience a less favorable prognosis, this distinction may become negligible with advancing age. The role of oral contraceptives (OC) and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in CM remains controversial. However, recent studies tend to associate the use of these exogenous hormones with a heightened risk of CM, mostly only when using estrogen therapy and not in combination with progesterone. On the contrary, the majority of studies find no substantial influence of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment on CM risk. Reproductive factors, including younger age at first childbirth, higher parity, and shorter reproductive life, show conflicting evidence, with some studies suggesting a lower CM risk. We suggest an important role for estrogens in CM. More research is needed, but the integration of estrogens and targeting the estrogen receptors in melanoma therapy holds promise for future developments in the field."

In this study, we confirmed in various melanoma cell line models that keratin 16 (KRT16) and S100 Calcium-Binding Protein A7 (S100A7) are transcriptional targets of GLI Family Zinc Finger (GLI) proteins. Besides their important role in protecting and maintaining the epidermal barrier, keratins are somehow tightly connected with the S100 family of proteins. We found that stronger expression of KRT16 indeed corresponds to stronger expression of S100A7 in our clinical melanoma samples. We also report a trend regarding staining of GLI1, which corresponds to stronger staining of GLI3, KRT16, and S100A7 proteins. The most interesting of our findings is that all the proteins are detected specifically in the epidermis overlying the tumor, but rarely in the tumor itself. The examined proteins were also not detected in the healthy epidermis at the edges of the sample, suggesting that the staining is specific to the epidermis overlaying the tumor mass. Of all proteins, only S100A7 demonstrated a statistically significant trend regarding tumor staging and staining intensity. Results from our clinical samples prove that immune infiltration is an important feature of melanoma. Pigmentophages and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) demonstrate a significant association with tumor stage, while mononuclear cells are equally present in all stages. For S100A7, we found an association between the number of TILs and staining intensity. Considering these new findings presented in our study, we suggest a more detailed examination of the possible role of the S100A7 protein as a biomarker in melanoma."

In this study, we used single particle analysis to characterize sEV subpopulations in the AH of UM patients by quantifying their size, concentration, and phenotypes based on cell surface markers, specifically the tetraspanin co-expression patterns of CD9, CD63, and CD81. sEVs were analyzed from paired pre- and post-treatment (brachytherapy, a form of radiation) AH samples collected from 19 UM patients. In post-brachytherapy samples, two subpopulations, CD63/81+ and CD9/63/81+ sEVs, were significantly increased. These trends existed even when stratified by tumor location and GEP class 1 and class 2 (albeit not significant for GEP class 2). In this initial report of single vesicle profiling of sEVs in the AH of UM patients, we demonstrated that sEVs can be detected in the AH. We further identified two subpopulations that were increased post-brachytherapy, which may suggest radiation-induced release of these particles, potentially from tumor cells. Further study of the cargo carried by these sEV subpopulations may uncover important biomarkers and insights into tumorigenesis for UM."

Niclosamide is currently applied for the treatment of worm infections. Its mechanisms of action, which include the suppression of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (also known as mitochondrial uncoupling), among others, has led to a repurposing of this promising anthelmintic drug for the therapy of further human diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and microbial infections. Given the urgent need to develop new drugs against fungal infections, the considerable antifungal properties of niclosamide are highlighted in this review. Its chemical and pharmacological properties relevant for drug development are also briefly mentioned, and the described mitochondria-targeting mechanisms of action add to the current arsenal of approved antifungal drugs. In addition, the activities of further salicylanilide-based niclosamide analogs against fungal pathogens, including agents applied in veterinary medicine for many years, are described and discussed for their feasibility as new antifungals for humans. Preliminary structure-activity relationships are determined and discussed. Various salicylanilide derivatives with antifungal activities showed increased oral bioavailabilities when compared with niclosamide. The simple synthesis of salicylanilide-based drugs also vouchsafes a broad and cost-effective availability for poorer patient groups. Pertinent literature is covered until 2024."

Despite extensive research, many molecular aspects of CFC still need to be better understood. In this study, we conducted ex vivo assessment of cell differentiation, oxidative stress, inflammation, and DNA damage in CFC samples. We collected perilesional skin from 41 patients with skin cancer and non-photoexposed skin from 25 healthy control individuals. These biopsies were either paraffin-embedded for indirect immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry stain or processed for proteins and mRNA extraction from the epidermidis. Our findings indicate a downregulation of p53 expression and an upregulation of Ki67 and p16 in CFC tissues. Additionally, there were alterations in keratinocyte differentiation markers, disrupted cell differentiation, increased expression of iNOS and proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8, along with evidence of oxidative DNA damage. Collectively, our results suggest that despite its outwardly normal appearance, CFC tissue shows early signs of DNA damage, an active inflammatory state, oxidative stress, abnormal cell proliferation and differentiation."

Differential diagnosis with squamous cell carcinoma is difficult, although NUT expression and YAP1 fusion products can be very useful for diagnosis. Currently, wide local excision is the main surgical treatment, although Mohs micrographic surgery is promising. To date, there is no consensus regarding the role of sentinel lymph node biopsy and consequential lymph node dissection. No guidelines exist for radiotherapy, which is mostly performed based on tumor characteristics and excision margins. Only a few studies report systemic treatment for advanced PC, although therapy with pembrolizumab and EGFR inhibitors show promise.

More research is needed into its treatment and to understand its pathogenic factors. In this study, we isolated a canine oral mucosal melanoma (COMM) cell line designated as COMM6605, which has now been stably passaged for more than 100 generations, with a successful monoclonal assay and a cell multiplication time of 22.2 h. G-banded karyotype analysis of the COMM6605 cell line revealed an abnormal chromosome count ranging from 45 to 74, with the identification of a double-armed chromosome as the characteristic marker chromosome of this cell line. The oral intralingual and dorsal subcutaneous implantation models of BALB/c-nu mice were successfully established; Melan-A (MLANA), S100 beta protein (S100β), PNL2, tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TRP1), and tyrosinase-related protein 2 (TRP2) were stably expressed positively in the canine oral tumor sections, tumor cell lines, and tumor sections of tumor-bearing mice. Sublines COMM6605-Luc-EGFP and COMM6605-Cherry were established through lentiviral transfection, with COMM6605-Luc-EGFP co-expressing firefly luciferase (Luc) and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and COMM6605-Cherry expressing the Cherry fluorescent protein gene. The COMM6605-Luc-EGFP fluorescent cell subline was injected via the tail vein and caused lung and lymph node metastasis, as detected by mouse live imaging, which can be used as an animal model to simulate the latter steps of hematogenous spread during tumor metastasis. The canine oral melanoma cell line COMM6605 and two sublines isolated and characterized in this study can offer a valuable model for studying mucosal melanoma."
+4117,skin cancer,38891107,Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 Regulates TGFβ-Mediated Suppression of Tumor Formation and Metastasis in Melanoma.,"Over the past few decades, the worldwide incidence of cutaneous melanoma, a malignant neoplasm arising from melanocytes, has been increasing markedly, leading to the highest rate of skin cancer-related deaths. While localized tumors are easily removed by excision surgery, late-stage metastatic melanomas are refractory to treatment and exhibit a poor prognosis. Consequently, unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying melanoma tumorigenesis and metastasis is crucial for developing novel targeted therapies. We found that the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) gene product Menin is required for the transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) signaling pathway to induce cell growth arrest and apoptosis in vitro and prevent tumorigenesis in vivo in preclinical xenograft models of melanoma. We further identified point mutations in two MEN1 family members affected by melanoma that led to proteasomal degradation of the MEN1 gene product and to a loss of TGFβ signaling. Interestingly, blocking the proteasome degradation pathway using an FDA-approved drug and RNAi targeting could efficiently restore MEN1 expression and TGFβ transcriptional responses. Together, these results provide new potential therapeutic strategies and patient stratification for the treatment of cutaneous melanoma."

The success of immune-targeted therapies in advanced NMSCs led us to anticipate that NMSCs harbored significant populations of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes with potential anti-tumor activity. The main aim of this study was to characterize T cells infiltrating NMSCs. Flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry were used to assess, respectively, the proportions and densities of T cell subpopulations in BCCs (n = 118), SCCs (n = 33), and normal skin (NS, n = 30). CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cell subsets, namely, Th1, Th2, Th17, Th9, and regulatory T cells (Tregs), CD8+ and CD4+ memory T cells, and γδ T cells were compared between NMSCs and NS samples. Remarkably, both BCCs and SCCs featured a significantly higher Th1/Th2 ratio (~four-fold) and an enrichment for Th17 cells. NMSCs also showed a significant enrichment for IFN-γ-producing CD8+T cells, and a depletion of γδ T cells. Using immunohistochemistry, NMSCs featured denser T cell infiltrates (CD4+, CD8+, and Tregs) than NS. Overall, these data favor a Th1-predominant response in BCCs and SCCs, providing support for immune-based treatments in NMSCs. Th17-mediated inflammation may play a role in the progression of NMSCs and thus become a potential therapeutic target in NMSCs."
+4119,skin cancer,38891088,Deregulation of Metalloproteinase Expression in Gray Horse Melanoma Ex Vivo and In Vitro.,"The ability of human melanoma cells to switch from an epithelial to a mesenchymal phenotype contributes to the metastatic potential of disease. Metalloproteinases (MPs) are crucially involved in this process by promoting the detachment of tumor cells from the primary lesion and their migration to the vasculature. In gray horse melanoma, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is poorly understood, prompting us to address MP expression in lesions versus intact skin by transcriptome analyses and the immunofluorescence staining (IF) of gray horse tumor tissue and primary melanoma cells. RNAseq revealed the deregulation of several MPs in gray horse melanoma and, notably, a 125-fold upregulation of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1) that was further confirmed by RT-qPCR from additional tumor material. The IF staining of melanoma tissue versus intact skin for MMP1 and tumor marker S100 revealed MMP1 expression in all lesions. The co-expression of S100 was observed at different extents, with some tumors scoring S100-negative. The IF staining of primary tumor cells explanted from the tumors for MMP1 showed that the metalloproteinase is uniformly expressed in the cytoplasm of 100% of tumor cells. Overall, the presented data point to MP expression being deregulated in gray horse melanoma, and suggest that MMP1 has an active role in gray horse melanoma by driving EMT-mediated tumor cell dissemination via the degradation of the extracellular matrix. Whilst S100 is considered a reliable tumor marker in human MM, gray horse melanomas do not seem to regularly express this protein."

BNT111, an investigational lipoplex-formulated mRNA-based therapeutic cancer vaccine encoding melanoma TAAs NY-ESO-1, tyrosinase, MAGE-A3, and TPTE, is undergoing clinical testing in adults. Expression of these TAAs in pediatric melanoma is unclear but is a prerequisite for feasibility of this treatment approach in children with melanoma. Our main objective was to characterize expression of those TAAs in pediatric melanomas compared to control cohorts. In this retrospective case control study, protein and transcript expression of NY-ESO-1, tyrosinase, MAGE-A3, and TPTE were analyzed in a cohort of 25 pediatric melanomas, 31 melanomas of young adults, 29 adult melanomas, and 30 benign melanocytic nevi in children using immunohistochemical staining and digital pathology (QuPath) and reverse transcription quantitative PCR. Based on IHC analysis, pediatric melanomas expressed tyrosinase (100.0%), TPTE (44.0%), MAGE-A3 (12.0%), and NY-ESO-1 (8.0%). Young adult melanomas expressed tyrosinase (96.8%), NY-ESO-1 (19.4%), MAGE-A3 (19.4%), and TPTE (3.2%). Adult melanomas expressed tyrosinase (86.2%), MAGE-A3 (75.9%), NY-ESO-1 (48.3%), and TPTE (48.3%). Childhood melanocytic nevi only expressed tyrosinase (93.3%). Expression prevalence of individual TAAs did not differ between subtypes of pediatric melanoma, and no association with prognosis was found. All four TAAs were expressed in pediatric melanoma, albeit NY-ESO-1 and MAGE-A3 to a lesser extent than in adult melanoma. These data support the possibility of investigating vaccines targeting these TAAs for the treatment of pediatric melanoma."

Upon reaching the tumor microenvironment, these NPs can disintegrate, thereby releasing MS-275 to increase the level of ROS and V-9302 to reduce the production of glutathione (GSH) related to self-rescue. These synergistic effects lead to a lethal ROS storm and induce cell pyroptosis. When combined with programmed cell death protein 1 monoclonal antibodies (α-PD-1), these NPs facilitate immune cell infiltration, improving anti-tumor immunity, converting ""immune-cold"" tumors into ""immune-hot"" tumors, and enhancing immune memory in mice. The findings present a nano-delivery strategy for the co-delivery of epigenetic therapeutics and metabolic inhibitors, which induces pyroptosis in tumors cells and improves the effectiveness of chemotherapy and immunotherapy."

+4137,skin cancer,38888196,The novel prognostic marker SPOCK2 regulates tumour progression in melanoma.,"Secreted protein acidic and cysteine rich/osteonectin, cwcv and kazal-like domain proteoglycan 2 (SPOCK2) is a protein that regulates cell differentiation and growth. Recent studies have reported that SPOCK2 plays important roles in the progression of various human cancers; however, the role of SPOCK2 in melanoma remains unknown. Therefore, this study investigated the roles of SPOCK2 and the related mechanisms in melanoma progression. To evaluate the clinical significance of SPOCK2 expression in patients with melanoma, we analysed the association between SPOCK2 expression and its prognostic value for patients with melanoma using systematic multiomic analysis. Subsequently, to investigate the roles of Spock2 in melanoma progression in vitro and in vivo, we knocked down Spock2 in the B16F10 melanoma cell line. High SPOCK2 levels were positively associated with good prognosis and long survival rate of patients with melanoma. Spock2 knockdown promoted melanoma cell proliferation by inducing the cell cycle and inhibiting apoptosis. Moreover, Spock2 downregulation significantly increased cell migration and invasion by upregulating MMP2 and MT1-MMP. The increased cell proliferation and migration were inhibited by MAPK inhibitor, and ERK phosphorylation was considerably enhanced in Spock2 knockdown cells. Therefore, Spock2 could function as a tumour suppressor gene to regulate melanoma progression by regulating the MAPK/ERK signalling pathway. Additionally, Spock2 knockdown cell injection induced considerable tumour growth and lung metastasis in C57BL6 mice compared to that in the control group. Our findings suggest that SPOCK2 plays crucial roles in malignant progression of melanoma and functions as a novel therapeutic target of melanoma."

Despite recognizing the essential impact of intratumoral heterogeneity on clinical responses to immunotherapy, our understanding of intratumoral heterogeneity in CTA expression has remained limited. We employed single-cell mRNA sequencing to delineate the CTA expression profiles of cancer cells in clinically derived melanoma and lung cancer samples. Our findings reveal a high degree of intratumoral transcriptional heterogeneity in CTA expression. In melanoma, every cell expressed at least one CTA. However, most individual CTAs, including the widely used therapeutic targets NY-ESO-1 and MAGE, were confined to subpopulations of cells and were uncoordinated in their expression, resulting in mosaics of cancer cells with diverse CTA profiles. Coordinated expression was observed, however, mainly among highly structurally and evolutionarily related CTA genes. Importantly, a minor subset of CTAs, including PRAME and several members of the GAGE and MAGE-A families, were homogenously expressed in melanomas, highlighting their potential as therapeutic targets. Extensive heterogeneity in CTA expression was also observed in lung cancer. However, the frequency of CTA-positive cancer cells was notably lower and homogenously expressed CTAs were only identified in one of five tumors in this cancer type. Our findings underscore the need for careful CTA target selection in immunotherapy development and clinical testing and offer a rational framework for identifying the most promising candidates."

Due to the negative effect on visual functions, explantation and replacement of the artificial lens was necessary in both eyes. Case Report: An overview of the available literature summarized the diagnostics, current examination methods and possibilities of the surgical solution of calcification of the bifocal hydrophilic lens Lentis M+ LS-313 MF30 (Oculentis). The specific solution is described in a case report of a patient in whom calcification of both lenses developed 6 years after implantation of the IOL. In 2015, the patient underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery of both eyes with the implantation of an artificial intraocular lens into the capsule. In September 2021, an 82-year-old man was examined at our outpatient clinic for deterioration of visual acuity and changes in the material of the artificial IOL which were perceptible during a clinical examination, on the recommendation of a local ophthalmologist. Blurred vision predominated. A diagnosis of intraocular lens opacification was confirmed and documented using a Scheimpflug camera (OCULUS Pentacam HR) and anterior OCT (Avanti RTVue XR Optovue,). The patient was indicated for explantation and replacement of the opacified intraocular lens in the left and subsequently in the right eye- The same type of IOL was used for reimplantation with good functional results. Conclusion: Since 2010, multifocal lens implantation has been on an upward trend worldwide. This type of MF IOL has also been used in thousands of implantations. A number of other explantations can be expected in the coming years. The optimal solution is the correct replacement of the calcified IOL with the same construction made of safer hydrophobic material."

+4155,skin cancer,38885605,Transcriptional switches in melanoma T Cells: Facilitating polarizing into regulatory T cells.,"Melanoma is a malignant skin tumor with a high mortality rate. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are immune cells with immunosuppressive roles, however, the precise mechanisms governing Treg involvement in melanoma remain enigmatic. Experimental findings unveiled different transcription factor switches between normal and tumor T cell, with heightened FOXP3 and BATF in the latter. These factors induced immunosuppressive molecules and Treg maintenance genes, polarizing tumor T cells into Tregs. Spatial transcriptomics illuminated the preferential settlement of Tregs at the melanoma periphery. Within this context, FOXP3 in Tregs facilitated direct enhancement of specific ligand gene expression, fostering communication with neighboring cells. Novel functional molecules bound to FOXP3 or BATF in Tregs, such as SPOCK2, SH2D2A, and ligand molecules ITGB2, LTA, CLEC2C, CLEC2D, were discovered, which had not been previously reported in melanoma Treg studies. Furthermore, we validated our findings in a large number of clinical samples and identified the Melanoma Treg-Specific Regulatory Tag Set (Mel TregS). ELISA analysis showed that the protein levels of Mel TregS in melanoma Tregs were higher than in normal Tregs. We then utilized SERS technology to measure the signal values of Mel TregS in exosome, and successfully discriminated between healthy individuals and melanoma patients, as well as early and late-stage patients. This approach significantly enhanced detection sensitivity. In sum, our research elucidated fresh insights into the mechanisms governing Treg self-maintenance and communication with surrounding cells in melanoma. We also introduced an innovative method for clinical disease monitoring through SERS technology."

We explored novel sclerosis-specific response measures using Chronic GVHD Consortium data. A training cohort included patients with cutaneous sclerosis from a randomized trial of imatinib vs rituximab and a consortium observational study. The validation cohort was a different consortium observational study. Clinician-reported measures (baseline and baseline to 6-month change) were examined for association with 6-month clinician-reported response. Patient-reported measures (baseline and baseline to 6-month change) were studied for association with 6-month patient-reported response. A total of 347 patients were included (training 183 and validation 164). Although multiple skin and joint measures were associated with clinician-reported response on univariate analysis, patient range of motion (PROM) total score, PROM total score change, and NIH 0 to 3 skin change were retained in the final multivariate model (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC], 0.83 training and 0.75 validation). Similarly, many patient-reported measures were associated, but final multivariate analysis retained the human activity profile adjusted activity score (AAS), 36 item short form health survey (SF36) vitality change, Lee symptom scale (LSS) skin, and LSS skin change in the model (AUC, 0.86 training and 0.75 validation). We identified which sclerosis measures have the greatest association with 6-month clinician- and patient-reported treatment responses, a previously unstudied area. However, given the observed performance in the validation cohorts, we conclude that further work is needed. Novel response measures may be needed to optimally assess treatment response in cutaneous sclerosis."
+4157,skin cancer,38885477,Tumor Cell Membrane-Encapsulated MLA Solid Lipid Nanoparticles for Targeted Diagnosis and Radiosensitization Therapy of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma.,"Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a common nonmelanoma skin cancer. Radiotherapy plays an integral role in treating SCC due to its characteristics, such as diminished intercellular adhesion, heightened cell migration and invasion capabilities, and immune evasion. These problems lead to inaccurate tumor boundary positioning and radiotherapy tolerance in SCC treatment. Thus, accurate localization and enhanced radiotherapy sensitivity are imperative for effective SCC treatment. To address the existing limitations in SCC therapy, we developed monoglyceride solid lipid nanoparticles (MG SLNs) and enveloped them with the A431 cell membrane (A431 CM) to create A431@MG. The characterization results showed that A431@MG was spherical. Furthermore, A431@MG had specific targeting for A431 cells. In A431 tumor-bearing mice, A431@MG demonstrated prolonged accumulation within tumors, ensuring precise boundary localization of SCC. We further advanced the approach by preparing MG SLNs encapsulating 5-aminolevulinic acid methyl ester (MLA) and desferrioxamine (DFO) with an A431 CM coating to yield A431@MG-MLA/DFO. Several studies have revealed that DFO effectively reduced iron content, impeding protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) biotransformation and promoting PpIX accumulation. Simultaneously, MLA was metabolized into PpIX upon cellular entry. During radiotherapy, the heightened PpIX levels enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, inducing DNA and mitochondrial damage and leading to cell apoptosis. In A431 tumor-bearing mice, the A431@MG-MLA/DFO group exhibited notable radiotherapy sensitization, displaying superior tumor growth inhibition. Combining A431@MG-MLA/DFO with radiotherapy significantly improved anticancer efficacy, highlighting its potential to serve as an integrated diagnostic and therapeutic strategy for SCC."

+4159,skin cancer,38885087,A Multimodal Drug-Diet-Immunotherapy Combination Restrains Melanoma Progression and Metastasis.,"The genetic landscape of cancer cells can lead to specific metabolic dependencies for tumor growth. Dietary interventions represent an attractive strategy to restrict the availability of key nutrients to tumors. In this study, we identified that growth of a subset of melanoma was severely restricted by a rationally designed combination therapy of a stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) inhibitor with an isocaloric low-oleic acid diet. Despite its importance in oncogenesis, SCD underwent monoallelic codeletion along with PTEN on chromosome 10q in approximately 47.5% of melanoma, and the other SCD allele was methylated, resulting in very low-SCD expression. Although this SCD-deficient subset was refractory to SCD inhibitors, the subset of PTEN wild-type melanoma that retained SCD was sensitive. As dietary oleic acid could potentially blunt the effect of SCD inhibitors, a low oleic acid custom diet was combined with an SCD inhibitor. The combination reduced monounsaturated fatty acids and increased saturated fatty acids, inducing robust apoptosis and growth suppression and inhibiting lung metastasis with minimal toxicity in preclinical mouse models of PTEN wild-type melanoma. When combined with anti-PD1 immunotherapy, the SCD inhibitor improved T-cell functionality and further constrained melanoma growth in mice. Collectively, these results suggest that optimizing SCD inhibitors with diets low in oleic acid may offer a viable and efficacious therapeutic approach for improving melanoma treatment. Significance: Blockade of endogenous production of fatty acids essential for melanoma combined with restriction of dietary intake blocks tumor growth and enhances response to immunotherapy, providing a rational drug-diet treatment regimen for melanoma."

Over the past few decades, intense research into the pathogenesis of melanoma has led to the development of BRAF and immune checkpoint inhibitors, including antibodies against programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), which have shown clinically significant efficacy. However, some tumours do not respond to these therapies initially or become treatment resistant. Most melanoma tissues appear to possess biological characteristics that allow them to evade these treatments, and identifying these characteristics is one of the major challenges facing cancer researchers. One such characteristic that has recently gained attention is the role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and its receptor CD74. This review outlines the cellular and molecular functions of CD74, MIF and their family of proteins. We then review their roles in tumours based on previous reports, highlight their pathological significance in melanoma and discuss their potential as therapeutic targets."

Herein, we present a 38-year-old female with a subcutaneous tumor affecting her forearm, which does not seem to fit into any currently recognized entity. It was a well-circumscribed tumor measuring 6 × 4,5 × 4 cm. It had a thick capsule composed of bland spindle cells forming palisades and Verocay body-like structures within a myxocollagenous background. Scattered calcifications were dispersed throughout the lesion. No cytological atypia, mitotic activity, or necrosis were present. Targeted NGS revealed a SOX10::PLAG1 fusion and fluorescent in situ hybridization confirmed the presence of PLAG1 gene rearrangement. The neoplastic cells showed a diffuse immunohistochemical expression of S100, SOX10, and PLAG1, as well as patchy desmin and CD34 positivity. The methylation profile of this tumor did not match any other entity covered by the DKFZ sarcoma classifier and apart from the gain of chromosome 12, the copy number profile was normal. The tumor was completely excised, and the patient has been free of disease for 4 years since the excision.

+4165,skin cancer,38884048,The Surprising Diversity of UV-Induced Mutations.,"Ultraviolet (UV) light is the most pervasive environmental mutagen and the primary cause of skin cancer. Genome sequencing of melanomas and other skin cancers has revealed that the vast majority of somatic mutations in these tumors are cytosine-to-thymine (C>T) substitutions in dipyrimidine sequences, which, together with tandem CC>TT substitutions, comprise the canonical UV mutation ""signature"". These mutation classes are caused by DNA damage directly induced by UV absorption, namely cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) or 6-4 pyrimidine-pyrimidone photoproducts (6-4PP), which form between neighboring pyrimidine bases. However, many of the key driver mutations in melanoma do not fit this mutation signature, but instead are caused by T>A, T>C, C>A, or AC>TT substitutions, frequently occurring in non-dipyrimidine sequence contexts. This article describes recent studies indicating that UV light causes a more diverse spectrum of mutations than previously appreciated, including many of the mutation classes observed in melanoma driver mutations. Potential mechanisms for these diverse mutation signatures are discussed, including UV-induced pyrimidine-purine photoproducts and indirect DNA damage induced by UVA light. Finally, the article reviews recent findings indicating that human DNA polymerase eta normally suppresses these non-canonical UV mutation classes, which can potentially explain why canonical C>T substitutions predominate in human skin cancers."

+4169,skin cancer,38882714,Case Report: A Pathological Odyssey in Primary Cutaneous Apocrine Carcinoma.,"Apocrine carcinoma is an extremely rare malignant cutaneous neoplasm that usually arises in areas with a high density of apocrine glands. Diagnosis can be challenging as tumours share histological and immunophenotypic characteristics with them. At first evaluation, the disease is often assumed to be benign. There have been approximately 100 reports of apocrine neoplasms in the literature. A 48-year-old male presented with a right axillary mass which increased in size over a period of 2 years. The patient was reported to have had ayurvedic therapy, but his swelling remained unchanged. Axillary lymph nodes were palpable. USG axilla suggested a well-defined fungating solid isoechoic lesion. USG neck did not reveal any abnormality. The mass was surgically excised as a whole by removing the overlying skin with margins and lymph node excision. The patient was diagnosed with primary apocrine carcinoma after surgical excision. The differentials include adenocarcinoma of breast and prostate and apocrine adenoma. There are no established standards for the care of this form of carcinoma due to its rarity and the absence of clinical studies. A literature evaluation and further reporting will aid in developing diagnostic standards and the most efficient treatment options."

The effects of photoaging are particularly apparent on the face, where the appearance of aging signs can have a significant impact on the emotions conveyed and well-being. Photoprotection and facial skin care for managing photoaging signs are thus of particular importance for both physical and mental health. Countries, like Australia and Brazil, where the level of sun exposure is high and the populations have predominantly outdoor lifestyles, are particularly aware of the harms of photoaging and have implemented several measures to help reduce the risk of skin cancer in their populations. However, sun-seeking behaviours are difficult to change, and it takes time before interventions provide perceptible results. Australia still has some of the highest skin cancer incidence and mortality rates in the world. Solutions that target individuals can also be used for minimizing the clinical signs of facial aging and for improving skin quality, with the ultimate aim being not only to improve the appearance of the skin but also to mitigate the occurrence of pre-malignant and malignant lesions. This review summarizes the features of facial skin photoaging in photo-exposed populations, based on evidence gained from studies of Australian individuals, and discusses the various available solutions for skin photoaging, in particular those that are most popular in Brazil, which is a country with many years of experience in managing photoaged skin."

Bulk-transcriptome data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and GSE19234, GSE22153, and GSE65904 cohorts from GEO database were processed and harmonized to mitigate batch effects. Lactate metabolism scores were assigned to individual cells using the 'AUCell' package. Weighted Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was employed to identify gene modules correlated with lactate metabolism. Machine learning algorithms were applied to construct a prognostic model, and its performance was evaluated in multiple cohorts. Immune correlation, mutation analysis, and enrichment analysis were conducted to further characterize the prognostic model's biological implications. Finally, the function of key gene NDUFS7 was verified by cell experiments. Machine learning resulted in an optimal prognostic model, demonstrating significant prognostic value across various cohorts. In the different cohorts, the high-risk group showed a poor prognosis. Immune analysis indicated differences in immune cell infiltration and checkpoint gene expression between risk groups. Mutation analysis identified genes with high mutation loads in SKCM. Enrichment analysis unveiled enriched pathways and biological processes in high-risk SKCM patients. NDUFS7 was found to be a hub gene in the protein-protein interaction network. After the expression of NDUFS7 was reduced by siRNA knockdown, CCK-8, colony formation, transwell and wound healing tests showed that the activity, proliferation and migration of A375 and WM115 cell lines were significantly decreased. This study offers insights into the prognostic significance of lactate metabolism-related genes in SKCM."
+4173,skin cancer,38881422,The role of polyamine metabolism in cellular function and physiology.,"Polyamines are molecules with multiple amino groups that are essential for cellular function. The major polyamines are putrescine, spermidine, spermine, and cadaverine. Polyamines are important for posttranscriptional regulation, autophagy, programmed cell death, proliferation, redox homeostasis, and ion channel function. Their levels are tightly controlled. High levels of polyamines are associated with proliferative pathologies such as cancer, whereas low polyamine levels are observed in aging, and elevated polyamine turnover enhances oxidative stress. Polyamine metabolism is implicated in several pathophysiological processes in the nervous, immune, and cardiovascular systems. Currently, manipulating polyamine levels is under investigation as a potential preventive treatment for several pathologies, including aging, ischemia/reperfusion injury, pulmonary hypertension, and cancer. Although polyamines have been implicated in many intracellular mechanisms, our understanding of these processes remains incomplete and is a topic of ongoing investigation. Here, we discuss the regulation and cellular functions of polyamines, their role in physiology and pathology, and emphasize the current gaps in knowledge and potential future research directions."

In those with recurrence, survival is dismal. Immunotherapy is an emerging area of investigation; however, there is a scarcity of data on immunotherapy outcomes in SNMM patients with recurrence. We report outcomes of immunotherapy in recurrent SNMM patients with distant versus nondistant recurrence. Fifty-four patients with recurrent SNMM were identified, and 31 (57.4%) had distant recurrence. One-year overall survival (OS) following recurrence was 47.5% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 34.0%-60.9%), with a median survival of 2.8 years (95% CI: 2.0-5.3). In those with distant recurrence, receipt of immunotherapy was associated with better OS compared to those without immunotherapy (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.29 [95% CI: 0.12-0.68], P = .004). While patients with nondistant recurrence (n = 23), who received immunotherapy (n = 6) had worse OS compared to those who did not receive immunotherapy (HR = 4.76 [95% CI: 1.36, 15.89], P = .02).

However, the transition between the different states of intratumoral antigen-specific CD8+ T cells remains elusive. Here, we sought to examine the generation, transcriptomic states, and the clinical relevance of melanoma-infiltrating CD8+ T cells expressing a chemokine receptor and T-cell differentiation marker, CX3C chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1). Analysis of single-cell datasets revealed distinct human melanoma-infiltrating CD8+ T-cell clusters expressing genes associated with effector T-cell function but with distinguishing expression of CX3CR1 or PDCD1. No obvious impact of CX3CR1 expression in melanoma on the response to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy was observed while increased pretreatment and on-treatment frequency of a CD8+ T-cell cluster expressing high levels of exhaustion markers was associated with poor response to the treatment. Adoptively transferred antigen-specific CX3CR1- CD8+ T cells differentiated into the CX3CR1+ subset in mice treated with FTY720, which inhibits lymphocyte egress from secondary lymphoid tissues, suggesting the intratumoral generation of CX3CR1+ CD8+ T cells rather than their trafficking from secondary lymphoid organs. Furthermore, analysis of adoptively transferred antigen-specific CD8+ T cells, in which the Cx3cr1 gene was replaced with a marker gene confirmed that CX3CR1+ CD8+ T cells could directly differentiate from the intratumoral CX3CR1- subset. These findings highlight that tumor antigen-specific CX3CR1- CD8+ T cells can fully differentiate outside the secondary lymphoid organs and generate CX3CR1+ CD8+ T cells in the tumor microenvironment, which are distinct from CD8+ T cells that express markers of exhaustion."

+4183,skin cancer,38880834,Association between PD-1 single nucleotide gene variants and the risk of metastatic melanoma.,"Previous studies showed an association between single nucleotide gene variants (SNVs) of PD-1 and cancer susceptibility. We analyzed PD1.5 C > T and PD1.7 T > C SNVs to investigate their association with the risk of developing metastatic melanoma (MM). Utilizing a cohort of 125 MM patients treated with anti-PD-1 agents and 84 healthy controls, we examined genotype/allele frequencies through a modified Poisson regression model, adjusted for age and sex. Our findings indicate that the PD1.5 T allele is associated with a reduced risk of MM, showing a significantly lower risk in both codominant (RR = 0.56, 95%CL: 0.37-0.87) and dominant (RR = 0.73 95%CL: 0.59-0.90) models. Conversely, the PD1.7 C allele is linked to an increased risk of MM, with the C/C genotype exhibiting a higher risk in the codominant (RR = 1.65, 95%CL: 1.32-2.05) and allelic (RR = 1.23, 95%CL: 1.06-1.43) models. These results are consistent with previous meta-analyses on other cancer types, mainly highlighting the PD1.5 SNV's potential role in promoting anti-tumor immunity through increased PD1-positive circulating effector T cell activity."

A significant fraction of melanomas are associated with precursor lesions, benign clonal proliferations of melanocytes called nevi. Nevi can be either congenital or acquired later in life. Identical oncogenic driver mutations are found in benign nevi and melanoma. While much progress has been made in our understanding of nevus formation and the molecular steps required for transformation of nevi into melanoma, the clinical diagnosis of benign versus malignant lesions remains challenging."
+4185,skin cancer,38880659,Interferon regulatory factor 4 modulates epigenetic silencing and cancer-critical pathways in melanoma cells.,"Interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) was initially identified as a key controller in lymphocyte differentiation and function, and subsequently as a dependency factor and therapy target in lymphocyte-derived cancers. In melanocytes, IRF4 takes part in pigmentation. Although genetic studies have implicated IRF4 in melanoma, how IRF4 functions in melanoma cells has remained largely elusive. Here, we confirmed prevalent IRF4 expression in melanoma and showed that high expression is linked to dependency in cells and mortality in patients. Analysis of genes activated by IRF4 uncovered, as a novel target category, epigenetic silencing factors involved in DNA methylation (DNMT1, DNMT3B, UHRF1) and histone H3K27 methylation (EZH2). Consequently, we show that IRF4 controls the expression of tumour suppressor genes known to be silenced by these epigenetic modifications, for instance cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors CDKN1A and CDKN1B, the PI3-AKT pathway regulator PTEN, and primary cilium components. Furthermore, IRF4 modulates activity of key downstream oncogenic pathways, such as WNT/β-catenin and AKT, impacting cell proliferation and survival. Accordingly, IRF4 modifies the effectiveness of pertinent epigenetic drugs on melanoma cells, a finding that encourages further studies towards therapeutic targeting of IRF4 in melanoma."

Traditional diagnostic methods, such as immunohistochemistry, can yield inconclusive results, and advanced techniques such as the Archer fusion assay are often inaccessible and costly. The Idylla GeneFusion Assay might offer a rapid and cost-effective alternative. This study compared Idylla and Archer in identifying ALK, pan-NTRK, RET, and ROS1 gene fusions. Of the 147 samples where next-generation sequencing did not detect genetic drivers, 89 (60.5%) meeting the tissue requirements were further analyzed using Idylla (Cohort A). Idylla demonstrated a sensitivity of 75% and a specificity of 100% in detecting these fusions. Additionally, among 27 randomly selected cases (Cohort B) that failed to meet the inclusion criteria, Idylla maintained the same levels of sensitivity and specificity. Our findings also show that Idylla can be effectively conducted with isolated RNA, broadening its applicability beyond tissue samples. Although the Idylla assay may not replace more comprehensive molecular assays such as Archer, it could serve as a valuable initial screening tool in diagnosing spitzoid melanocytic tumors."

+4195,skin cancer,38879227,Managing longitudinal melanonychia.,"Longitudinal melanonychia (LM) is a pigmented band extending from the matrix to the distal edge of a nail. It is caused by increased production of melanin within the matrix, and integration into the nail plate. The origin of this production is usually benign, due to activation, hyperplasia or proliferation of melanocytes normally present in the matrix. In some cases, however, LM is the manifestation of a subungual melanoma, the diagnosis of which must be made early. Biographical, clinical and dermoscopic criteria make it possible to suspect melanoma and decide whether to perform biopsy. None of these criteria, however, are specific and definitive diagnosis requires pathologic examination of a matrix biopsy. The biopsy technique should enable reliable histological study while limiting the risk of secondary nail dystrophy. Initial resection should ideally involve the entire lesion. Complete elevation of the nail plate enables the lesion to be precisely located. Lesions up to 3 mm can be removed by longitudinal resection biopsies without significant sequelae. In more extensive lesions, incision or tangential (""shave"") biopsy can be performed without impairing prognosis. In clinical presentations strongly suggestive of melanoma, immediate complete resection of the entire nail unit may be proposed."

Clinical studies have suggested that lymphedema results in skin barrier defects; however, the underlying cellular mechanisms and the effects of bacterial contamination on skin barrier function remain unknown. In matched biopsies from patients with unilateral BCRL, we observed decreased expression of FLG and the tight junction protein ZO-1 in skin affected by moderate lymphedema or by subclinical lymphedema in which dermal backflow of lymph was identified by indocyanine green lymphography, relative to those in the controls (areas without backflow and from the unaffected arm). In vitro stimulation of keratinocytes with lymph fluid obtained from patients undergoing lymphedema surgery led to the same changes as well as increased expression of keratin 14, a marker of immature keratinocytes. Finally, using mouse models of lymphedema, we showed that similar to the clinical scenario, the expression of skin barrier proteins was decreased relative to that in normal skin and that colonization with Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria amplified this effect as well as lymphedema severity. Taken together, our findings suggest that lymphatic fluid stasis contributes to skin barrier dysfunction in lymphedema."

This study introduces a novel nano drug delivery system (NDDS) utilizing functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (FMSNs) for efficient CPT delivery. The FMSNs were loaded with CPT and subsequently coated with chitosan (CS) for enhanced stability and bioadhesion. Importantly, CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG ODN) was attached onto the CS-coated FMSNs to leverage the immunostimulatory properties of CpG ODN, augmenting the chemotherapy's efficacy. The final formulation FMSN-CPT-CS-CpG displayed an average size of 241 nm and PDI of 0.316 with an encapsulation efficiency of 95 %. Comprehensive in vitro and in vivo analyses, including B16F10 cells and DMBA/TPA-induced SCC murine model, demonstrated that the FMSN-CPT-CS-CpG formulation significantly enhanced cytotoxicity against B16F10 cells and induced complete regression in 40 % of the in vivo subjects, surpassing the efficacy of standard CPT and FMSN-CPT treatments.

The efficacy of drugs targeting CGRP signalling axis for the treatment of migraine patients is sometimes offset by side effects (e.g. inflammation and microvascular complications, including aberrant neovascularisation in the skin). Recent studies using animal models implicate CGRP in lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic vessel function. However, whether CGRP or AM2/IMD can act directly on lymphatic endothelial cells is unknown. Here, we found that CGRP and AM2/IMD induced p44/42 MAPK phosphorylation in a time- and dose-dependent manner in primary human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (HDLEC) in vitro, and thus directly affected these cells. These new findings reveal CGRP and AM2/IMD as novel regulators of LEC biology and warrant further investigation of their roles in the context of pathologies associated with lymphatic function in the skin and other organs, and therapies targeting CGRP signalling axis."

A search was carried out in the LILACS, PubMed/MEDLINE, SCOPUS, Web of Science and EMBASE databases including studies published between 2004 and 2024, written in the Latin-Roman alphabet. Accuracy studies with patients aged 18 years or over presenting benign and malignant lesions in the head and neck region that evaluated the performance of IRT in differentiating these lesions were included. Lesions of mesenchymal origin and studies that did not mention histopathological diagnosis were excluded. The systematic review protocol was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42023416079). Reviewers independently analyzed titles, abstracts, and full-texts. After extracting data, the risk of bias of the selected studies was assessed using the QUADAS - 2 tool. Results were narratively synthesized and the certainty of evidence was measured using the GRADE approach. The search resulted in 1,587 records and three studies were included. Only one of the assessed studies used static IRT, while the other two studies used cold thermal stress. All studies had an uncertain risk of bias. In general, studies have shown wide variation in the accuracy of IRT for differentiating between malignant and benign lesions, with a low level of certainty in the evidence for both specificity and sensitivity."

In the 49 reported cases, only four cases showed regional or distant metastasis, but follow-up remains limited. Herein, we present a case of metastatic CTCT with ulceration, a histological feature that has not been previously described. A 75-year-old male with a 2-month history of toe ulceration underwent a shave biopsy, which showed a dermal nodular neoplasm that was immunoreactive for SOX10 and S100, negative for Melan-A, and was initially diagnosed as melanoma. Upon pathology review at our institution, the tumor was composed of intersecting fascicles and nests of epithelioid and spindle cells. Additional immunohistochemistry revealed immunoreactivity of the tumor for MiTF and NTRK and negativity for HMB-45 and PRAME. Next-generation sequencing identified CRTC1::TRIM11 fusion, leading to a revised diagnosis of CTCT. The patient proceeded to a toe amputation and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy 5 months after the shave biopsy. The amputation showed residual CTCT and a focus on lymphovascular invasion. The SLN revealed multifocal subcapsular metastases. The patient was started on adjuvant nivolumab and showed biopsy-proven recurrence in the right inguinal lymph nodes and imaging findings suspicious for pulmonary metastases 8 months after the excision. In summary, we present a case of CTCT with ulceration and lymphovascular invasion. We also provide additional evidence that a subset of CTCT behaves aggressively. The optimal surgical and medical treatments are unknown."

Approximately 25%-30% of patients still recur within 1 year. Predictive biomarkers reflecting real-world data are desired. The predictive relevance of tumour tissue PD-L1 expression in the adjuvant setting remains inconclusive.

They nonetheless carry a significant risk of toxicity in the form of immune-related adverse events (IrAEs), which may be sustained and life-altering. IrAEs may require high-dose and/or prolonged steroid use and represent a significant healthcare burden. They mimic immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) but understanding of their pathogenesis is limited.

To best serve patients, clinicians should be familiar with the spectrum of skin manifestations associated with PD-1 inhibitor therapy. Here, we report a unique case of hypertrophic lichen planus (HLP) in a 64-year-old man treated with pembrolizumab; the presentation initially suggested a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) morphology, then evolved into a morphology more typical of hypertrophic lichen planus. This case underscores the need for caution in diagnosing eruptive SCCs associated with PD-1 inhibitor therapy. In such instances, maintaining a high suspicion for lichenoid reactions as sequelae of PD-1 inhibitor treatment and starting an empiric trial of therapy for lichenoid dermatitis may be warranted to ensure timely management of lesions."

Previous work has pursued KS diagnosis by quantifying KSHV DNA in skin biopsies using a point-of-care (POC) device which performs quantitative loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). These previous studies revealed that extracting DNA from patient biopsies was the rate limiting step in an otherwise rapid process. In this study, a simplified, POC-compatible alkaline DNA extraction, ColdSHOT, was optimized for 0.75 mm human skin punch biopsies. The optimized ColdSHOT extraction consistently produced 40,000+ copies of DNA per 5 µl reaction from 3 mg samples-a yield comparable to standard spin column extractions-within 1 h without significant equipment. The DNA yield was estimated sufficient for KSHV detection from KS-positive patient biopsies, and the LAMP assay was not affected by non-target tissue in the unpurified samples. Furthermore, the yields achieved via ColdSHOT were robust to sample storage in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or Tris-EDTA (TE) buffer prior to DNA extraction, and the DNA sample was stable after extraction. The results presented in this study indicate that the ColdSHOT DNA extraction could be implemented to simplify and accelerate the LAMP-based diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma using submillimeter biopsy samples."

However, few targeted medications inhibit the progression of melanoma. Ganoderma lucidum, which is a type of mushroom, is widely used as a non-toxic alternative adjunct therapy for cancer patients. This study determines the effect of WSG, which is a water-soluble glucan that is derived from G. lucidum, on melanoma cells. The results show that WSG inhibits cell viability and the mobility of melanoma cells. WSG induces changes in the expression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related markers. WSG also downregulates EMT-related transcription factors, Snail and Twist. Signal transduction assays show that WSG reduces the protein levels in transforming growth factor β receptors (TGFβRs) and consequently inhibits the phosphorylation of intracellular signaling molecules, such as FAK, ERK1/2 and Smad2. An In vivo study shows that WSG suppresses melanoma growth in B16F10-bearing mice. To enhance transdermal drug delivery and prevent oxidation, two highly biocompatible compounds, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), are used to synthesize a dissolvable microneedle patch that is loaded with WSG (MN-WSG). A functional assay shows that MN-WSG has an effect that is comparable to that of WSG alone. These results show that WSG has significant potential as a therapeutic agent for melanoma treatment. MN-WSG may allow groundbreaking therapeutic approaches and offers a novel method for delivering this potent compound effectively."

Recent studies have uncovered distinct immunohistochemical and molecular profiles in several sweat gland neoplasms, including digital papillary adenocarcinoma (DPA), papillary eccrine adenoma/tubular apocrine adenoma (PEA/TAA), poroid family tumors (PFT)/porocarcinoma, and clear cell hidradenoma (CCH)/clear cell hidradenocarcinoma (CCHCa). To further evaluate the diagnostic utility of ancillary studies in various sweat gland neoplasms, we performed an independent validation study in a cohort of patients with acral and non-acral tumors (9 DPA, 8 PEA/TAA, 13 PFT, 5 porocarcinoma, 23 CCH, 7 CCHCa, 6 sweat gland carcinoma not otherwise specified). p63 immunohistochemistry (IHC) demonstrated a myoepithelial pattern in 8/8 DPA and 4 of 4 tested PEA/TAA cases, and showed a ductal pattern in all tested PFT/porocarcinoma and CCH/CCHCa cases (42/42). All PEA/TAA (8/8) cases were positive for BRAF V600E IHC. 5 of 12 tested PFT and 5/5 porocarcinoma cases showed either positive staining with NUT IHC or harbored YAP1::NUTM1 fusion gene by RNA sequencing. MAML2 fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was positive in all CCH and CCHCa cases (23/23 and 7/7, respectively).

Intelligent analysis and classification systems are significantly superior to visual diagnostic methods used by dermatologists and oncologists. However, the application of such systems in clinical practice is severely limited due to a lack of generalizability and risks of potential misclassification. Successful implementation of artificial intelligence-based tools into clinicopathological practice requires a comprehensive study of the effectiveness and performance of existing models, as well as further promising areas for potential research development. The purpose of this systematic review is to investigate and evaluate the accuracy of artificial intelligence technologies for detecting malignant forms of pigmented skin lesions. For the study, 10,589 scientific research and review articles were selected from electronic scientific publishers, of which 171 articles were included in the presented systematic review. All selected scientific articles are distributed according to the proposed neural network algorithms from machine learning to multimodal intelligent architectures and are described in the corresponding sections of the manuscript. This research aims to explore automated skin cancer recognition systems, from simple machine learning algorithms to multimodal ensemble systems based on advanced encoder-decoder models, visual transformers (ViT), and generative and spiking neural networks.

A recently identified type of controlled cell death that is intimately related to immunotherapy and the development of cancer is called cuproptosis. Using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, we developed and validated a DNA-methylation located in cuproptosis death-related gene prognostic signature (CRG-located DNA-methylation prognostic signature) to predict CM's prognosis. Kaplan-Meier analysis of our TCGA and GEO cohorts showed that high-risk patients had a shorter overall survival. The area under the curve (AUC) for the TCGA cohort was 0.742, while for the GEO cohort it was 0.733, according to the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Furthermore, this signature was discovered as an independent prognostic indicator over CM patients based on Cox-regression analysis. Immunogenomic profiling indicated that majority immune-checkpoints got an opposite relationship with the signature, and patients in the group at low risk got higher immunophenoscore. Several immune pathways were enriched, according to functional enrichment analysis. In conclusion, a prognostic methylation signature for CM patients was established and confirmed. Because of its close relationship to the immune landscape, this signature may help clinicians make more accurate and individualized choices regarding therapy."

Mechanistically, the underlying biomechanisms of how DAC cooperatively worked with ICAM1 antibody conjugated DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor DXd (I1-DXd) is elucidated. DAC treatment significantly enhanced anti-tumor efficacy of I1-DXd by upregulating antigen expression, enhancing antibody internalization and potentiating tumor sensitivity by epigenetically reprogramming of melanoma. Meanwhile, I1-DXd/DAC combination also exerted regulatory effects on tumor microenvironment (TME) by enhancing tumor infiltration of innate and adaptive immune cells and improving penetration of ADCs with a boosted antitumor immunity. This study provides a rational ADC combination strategy for solid tumor treatment."

Data on the rate and pattern of recurrence after a negative sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) are sparse. We retrospectively searched our institutional database and retrieved the records of patients with thin melanomas who underwent an SLNB with negative results. We analyzed patterns of recurrence, time to recurrence, and mode of diagnosis. Thirteen of the 198 patients with thin melanomas and negative SLNB results had tumor recurrence (6.5%): two local in transit (15.4%), three regional (21.3%), and eight distant (61.5%). Distant recurrences tended to occur later than local or regional ones [median disease-free survival = 50 months (95% confidence interval: 36.1-63.9) vs. 34 and 15 months (95% confidence interval: 5.4-24.6), P  = 0.005, respectively]. The percentage of patients with tumor thickness ≥0.8 mm was higher among those who sustained recurrence (84.6 vs. 64.9% for no recurrence, P  = 0.04). The majority of patients with recurrence were not being followed up when diagnosed (69%), and they are presented because of clinical symptoms. Patients with recurrence had lower survival compared with those without recurrence (median: 118 months vs. ongoing survival, P  < 0.001, respectively). Melanoma recurrence in patients with thin melanomas and negative SLNBs is rare, tends to be distant, and negatively affects prognosis. Recurrence tends to occur in patients with melanoma thickness ≥0.8 mm. Further studies are needed to identify patients with high recurrence risk and determine optimal follow-up protocols."

This study aims to measure the distance of important nail structures through ultrasonography. Herein, 14 patients without nail deformity were included. The length from the nail cuticle to the distal interphalangeal joint (distance X), to the attachment part of the extensor muscle (distance A), to the median proximal end of the nail matrix (distance B), and to the lateral proximal end of the nail matrix (distance C) were measured. In the axial plane, the length from the highest point of the nail plate to the bottom of the distal phalanx (distance Y) and to the lateral tip of the nail plate (distance D) were measured.

BV has been shown to be safe and effective in treating Hodgkin's lymphoma and peripheral T-cell lymphoma. This multicenter, prospective, single-arm phase I/II study evaluated the efficacy of BV in Japanese patients with CD30+ cutaneous lymphomas, namely CD30+ cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Participants were divided into two groups: those with CD30+ MF or pcALCL (cohort 1, n = 13) and those with CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorders other than those in cohort 1 (cohort 2, n = 3). The studied population included the full analysis set (FAS), modified FAS (mFAS), and safety analysis set (SAF). These sets were identified in cohorts 1 and 1 + 2 and labeled FAS1 and FAS2, mFAS1 and mFAS2, and SAF1 and SAF2, respectively. Each treatment cycle lasted 3 weeks, and BV was continued for up to 16 cycles after the third cycle based on treatment response. The primary endpoint was the 4-month objective response rate (ORR4) determined by the Independent Review Forum (IRF). ORR4 was 69.2% for FAS1 and 62.5% for FAS2 (P < 0.0001). Secondary endpoints of ORR, assessed using the global response score (53.8% in FAS1) and modified severity-weighted assessment tool (62.5% in FAS1), using the IRF, provided results comparable to the primary findings. The incidence of ≥grade 3 adverse events (≥15%) in SAF1 was peripheral neuropathy in three patients (23%) and fever and eosinophilia in two patients (15%). In conclusion, BV showed favorable efficacy, tolerability, and safety profile in Japanese patients with relapsed or refractory CD30+ primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The trial was registered with University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry, Japan (protocol ID: UMIN000034205)."

A 55-year-old male underwent a laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The pathological findings revealed a stage IIIA tumor. Two years later, skin hardening was observed on the left upper abdominal wall. Computed tomography displayed a 13-cm-long, flat tumor along the skeletal muscle around the left upper 12 mm port site and right hydronephrosis. The patient was diagnosed with PSM and retroperitoneal recurrence. Despite chemotherapy, three years postoperatively, PSM widely spread from the left upper abdomen to the left thigh, eventually inducing opioid-resistant leg pain and subsequent walking difficulties. Palliative radiotherapy could not improve these symptoms. The patient died three years and five months postoperatively. Extensively invasive PSM can induce refractory cancer pain and physical disorders.

Most skin cancers are easy to diagnose and treat and therefore cSCC are often trivialised; however, there is a high-risk subgroup of cSCC (HRcSCC) that is associated with a high risk of metastasis and death. The definition of early HRcSCC and our ability to identify them is evolving. Many significant prognostic factors have been identified, but a universally accepted prognostic index does not exist. Guidelines for workup, treatment, and follow-up leave many important decisions open to broad interpretation by the treating physician or multidisciplinary team.

Amoeboid cells are thought to find a path by deforming their bodies to squeeze through tight spaces. Yet, some amoeboid cells seem to maintain a near-spherical morphology as they move. To examine how they do so, we visualized amoeboid human melanoma cells in dense environments and found that they carve tunnels via bleb-driven degradation of extracellular matrix components without the need for proteolytic degradation. Interactions between adhesions and collagen at the cell front induce a signaling cascade that promotes bleb enlargement via branched actin polymerization. Large blebs abrade collagen, creating feedback between extracellular matrix structure, cell morphology, and polarization that enables both path generation and persistent movement."

+4254,skin cancer,38870489,Establishment and Verification of a Skin Cancer Diagnosis Model Based on Image Convolutional Neural Network Analysis and Artificial Intelligence Algorithms.,"Skin cancer is a serious public health problem, with countless deaths due to skin cancer each year. Early detection, aggressive and effective primary focus is the best treatment for skin cancer, which is important to improve patients' prognosis and reduce the death rate of the disease. However, judging skin tumors by the naked eye alone is a highly subjective factor, and the diagnosis can vary greatly even among professionally trained physicians. Clinically, skin endoscopy is a commonly used method for early diagnosis. However, the manual examination is time-consuming, laborious, and highly dependent on the clinical practice of dermatologists. In today's society, with the rapid development of information technology, the amount of information is increasing at a geometric rate, and new technologies such as cloud computing, distributed, data mining, and meta-inspiration are emerging. In this paper, we design and build a computer-aided diagnosis system for dermatoscopic images and apply meta-heuristic algorithms to image enhancement and image cutting to improve the quality of images, thus increasing the speed of diagnosis, early detection, and early treatment."
+4255,skin cancer,38870259,Prognostic implication and immunotherapy response prediction of a novel ubiquitination-related gene signature in liver cancer.,"HCC, also known as hepatocellular carcinoma, is a frequently occurring form of cancer with an unfavorable prognosis. This research constructed a prognostic signature related to ubiquitination and investigated its correlation with the response to immunotherapy in HCC. The Molecular Signatures Database provided a compilation of genes associated with ubiquitination. A gene signature related to ubiquitination was obtained through Cox regression using the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator method. The genetic factors CPY26B1, MCM10, SPINK4, and TRIM54 notably impacted the outcomes of HCC. The patients were divided into two groups: one group had a high risk of poor survival while the other had a low risk but a greater chance of controlling HCC progression. Both univariate and multivariate analyses using Cox regression found the risk score to be an independent predictor of HCC prognosis. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) indicated enrichment in cell cycle and cancer-related microRNAs in high-risk groups. The tumor microenvironment (TME), response to immunotherapy, and effectiveness of chemotherapy medications positively correlated with the risk score. In the high-risk group, erlotinib showed higher IC50 values compared to the low-risk group which exhibited higher IC50 values for VX-11e, AKT inhibitor VIII, AT-7519, BMS345541, Bortezomib, CP466722, FMK, and JNK-9L. The results of RT-qPCR revealed that the expression of four UEGs was higher in tumor tissue as compared to normal tissue. Based on the genes that were expressed differently and associated with ubiquitination-related tumor categorization, we have developed a pattern of four genes and a strong nomogram that can predict the prognosis of HCC, which could be useful in identifying and managing HCC."
+4256,skin cancer,38870061,AMBRA1 levels predict resistance to MAPK inhibitors in melanoma.,"Intrinsic and acquired resistance to mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors (MAPKi) in melanoma remains a major therapeutic challenge. Here, we show that the clinical development of resistance to MAPKi is associated with reduced tumor expression of the melanoma suppressor Autophagy and Beclin 1 Regulator 1 (AMBRA1) and that lower expression levels of AMBRA1 predict a poor response to MAPKi treatment. Functional analyses show that loss of AMBRA1 induces phenotype switching and orchestrates an extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-independent resistance mechanism by activating focal adhesion kinase 1 (FAK1). In both in vitro and in vivo settings, melanomas with low AMBRA1 expression exhibit intrinsic resistance to MAPKi therapy but higher sensitivity to FAK1 inhibition. Finally, we show that the rapid development of resistance in initially MAPKi-sensitive melanomas can be attributed to preexisting subclones characterized by low AMBRA1 expression and that cotreatment with MAPKi and FAK1 inhibitors (FAKi) effectively prevents the development of resistance in these tumors. In summary, our findings underscore the value of AMBRA1 expression for predicting melanoma response to MAPKi and supporting the therapeutic efficacy of FAKi to overcome MAPKi-induced resistance."
+4257,skin cancer,38870033,When does a melanoma metastasize? Implications for management.,"Selecting which patients with clinically-localized melanoma require treatment other than wide excision of the primary tumor is based on the risk or presence of metastatic disease. This in turn is linked to survival. Knowing if and when a melanoma is likely to metastasize is therefore of great importance. Several studies employing a range of different methodologies have suggested that many melanomas metastasize long before the primary lesion is diagnosed. Therefore, waiting for dissemination of metastatic disease to become evident before making systemic therapy available to these patients may be less effective than giving them post-operative adjuvant therapy initially if the metastatic risk is high. The identification of these high-risk patients will assist in selecting those to whom adjuvant systemic therapy can most appropriately be offered. Further studies are required to better identify high-risk patients whose primary melanoma is likely to have already metastasized."

With the evidence demonstrating that episcleral plaque brachytherapy (EPB) has similar survival rates as enucleation in the Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study (COMS), eye-sparing treatments have come to the fore today. External radiotherapy techniques (proton beam radiotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery/fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery) are an important treatment option for globe-sparing treatments. There are no prospective randomized trials comparing these techniques; however, retrospective series, meta-analyses, and reviews indicate that these EPB and external radiotherapy techniques are equal. With this review, we aimed to examine the external radiotherapy techniques used in the treatment of uveal melanoma in detail with reference to the current literature."

+4263,skin cancer,38869001,Hyaluronated nanohydroxyapatite responsively released from injectable hydrogels for targeted therapy of melanoma.,"Nanohydroxyapatite (nHAp) has attracted significant attention for its tumor suppression and tumor microenvironment modulation capabilities. However, a strong tendency to aggregate greatly affects its anti-tumor efficiency. To address this issue, a hydrogel platform consisting of thiolated hyaluronic acid (HA-SH) modified nanohydroxyapatite (nHAp-HA) and HA-SH was developed for sustained delivery of nHAp for melanoma therapy. The hydrophilic and negatively charged HA-SH significantly improved the size dispersion and stability of nHAp in aqueous media while conferring nHAp targeting effects. Covalent sulfhydryl self-cross-linking between HA-SH and nHAp-HA groups ensured homogeneous dispersion of nHAp in the matrix material. Meanwhile, the modification of HA-SH conferred the targeting properties of nHAp and enhanced cellular uptake through the HA/CD44 receptor. The hydrogel platform could effectively reduce the aggregation of nHAp and release nHAp in a sustained and orderly manner. Antitumor experiments showed that the modified nHAp-HA retained the tumor cytotoxicity of nHAp "
+4264,skin cancer,38868996,A systematic review of the epidemiology evidence on talc and cancer.,"Over the past several decades, there have been many epidemiology studies on talc and cancer published in the scientific literature, and several reviews and meta-analyses of talc and respiratory, female reproductive, and stomach cancers, specifically. To help provide a resource for the evaluation of talc as a potential human carcinogen, we applied a consistent set of examination methods and criteria for all epidemiology studies that examined the association between talc exposure (by various routes) and cancers (of various types). We identified 30 cohort, 35 case-control, and 12 pooled studies that evaluated occupational, medicinal, and personal-care product talc exposure and cancers of the respiratory system, the female reproductive tract, the gastrointestinal tract, the urinary system, the lymphohematopoietic system, the prostate, male genital organs, and the central nervous system, as well as skin, eye, bone, connective tissue, peritoneal, and breast cancers. We tabulated study characteristics, quality, and results in a systematic manner, and evaluated all cancer types for which studies of at least three unique populations were available in a narrative review. We focused on study quality aspects most likely to impact the interpretation of results. We found that only one study, of medicinal talc use, evaluated direct exposure measurements for any individuals, though some used semi-quantitative exposure metrics, and few studies adequately assessed potential confounders. The only consistent associations were with ovarian cancer in case-control studies and these associations were likely impacted by recall and potentially other biases. This systematic review indicates that epidemiology studies do not support a causal association between occupational, medicinal, or personal talc exposure and any cancer in humans."
+4265,skin cancer,38868930,Age and urban-rural disparities in cutaneous melanoma mortality rates in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic.,"Most recent studies on the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and cutaneous melanoma (CM) focused more on delayed diagnosis or advanced presentation. We aimed to ascertain mortality trends of CM between 2012 and 2022, focusing on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this serial population-based study, the National Vital Statistics System dataset was queried for mortality data. Excess CM-related mortality rates were estimated by calculating the difference between observed and projected mortality rates during the pandemic. Totally there were 108,853 CM-associated deaths in 2012-2022. CM-associated mortality saw a declining trend from 2012 to 2019 overall. However, it increased sharply in 2020 (ASMR 3.73 per 100,000 persons, 5.95% excess mortality), and remained high in 2021 and 2022, with the ASMRs of 3.82 and 3.81, corresponding to 11.17% and 13.20% excess mortality, respectively. The nonmetro areas had the most pronounced rise in mortality with 12.20% excess death in 2020, 15.33% in 2021 and 20.52% in 2022, corresponding to a 4-6 times excess mortality risk compared to large metro areas during the pandemic. The elderly had the most pronounced rise in mortality, but the mortality in the younger population was reduced."
+4266,skin cancer,38868622,Multiple Buttress Reconstruction for Extended Total Maxillectomy by Mixed Use of Vascularized and Nonvascularized Fibula.,"Reconstruction of extended total maxillectomy is challenging. This study aimed to isolate the skull base from the nasal cavity to avoid intracranial infection, cerebrospinal fluid fistula, and palate closure to maintain feeding and conversation. However, facial appearance and symmetry are important for quality of life. We report primary multiple buttress reconstruction using a removed nonvascularized fibula that reduced the risk of infection and exposure. A 74-year-old woman experienced a local recurrence of right maxillary sinus cancer after subtotal maxillectomy and postoperative radiotherapy (60 Gy). We performed extended total maxillectomy, including the right eyeball, orbit, temporal bone, palate, and zygomatic arch. Primary reconstruction was performed using fibular and anterolateral thigh free flaps. The proximal fibula bone was resected to obtain the length of the peroneal vessels, and the distal 9 cm of the fibula was made into two pieces while keeping the peroneal vessels attached. The nonvascularized 5-cm fibula was split sagittally with an L-shaped section to maintain the strength of the fragments. An anterolateral thigh flap was elevated from the ipsilateral thigh attached to the partial vastus lateralis muscle, which was divided into proximal (to the cheek skin and prosthetic eye bed) and distal (to the nasal cavity and palate) skin islands. Two nonvascularized bone fragments were fixed at the lateral and infraorbital rims. The dead space around the built-up pillar made of transferred bone was filled with vastus lateralis muscle to prevent infection and depression. This approach allowed for one-stage multiple buttress reconstruction for extended total maxillectomy."

+4268,skin cancer,38867800,Dual excitation spectral autofluorescence lifetime and reflectance imaging for fast macroscopic characterization of tissues.,"Advancements in optical imaging techniques have revolutionized the field of biomedical research, allowing for the comprehensive characterization of tissues and their underlying biological processes. Yet, there is still a lack of tools to provide quantitative and objective characterization of tissues that can aid clinical assessment in vivo to enhance diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Here, we present a clinically viable fiber-based imaging system combining time-resolved spectrofluorimetry and reflectance spectroscopy to achieve fast multiparametric macroscopic characterization of tissues. An essential feature of the setup is its ability to perform dual wavelength excitation in combination with recording time-resolved fluorescence data in several spectral intervals. Initial validation of this bimodal system was carried out in freshly resected human colorectal cancer specimens, where we demonstrated the ability of the system to differentiate normal from malignant tissues based on their autofluorescence and reflectance properties. To further highlight the complementarity of autofluorescence and reflectance measurements and demonstrate viability in a clinically relevant scenario, we also collected in vivo data from the skin of a volunteer. Altogether, integration of these modalities in a single platform can offer multidimensional characterization of tissues, thus facilitating a deeper understanding of biological processes and potentially advancing diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in various medical applications."

Although tumor metabolic reprogramming places aerobic glycolysis in a dominant position, the TCA cycle remains indispensable for tumor cells as a hub for the metabolic linkage and interconversion of glucose, lipids, and certain amino acids. TCA intermediates such as citrate, α-ketoglutarate, succinate, and fumarate are altered in tumors, and they regulate the tumor metabolism, signal transduction, and immune environment to affect tumorigenesis and tumor progression. This article provides a comprehensive review of the modifications occurring in tumor cells in relation to the intermediates of the TCA cycle, which affects tumor pathogenesis and current therapeutic strategy for therapy through targeting TCA cycle in cancer cells."
+4270,skin cancer,38867704,"Acute exposure to dihydroxyacetone promotes genotoxicity and chromosomal instability in lung, cardiac, and liver cell models.","Inhalation exposures to dihydroxyacetone (DHA) occur through spray tanning and e-cigarette aerosols. Several studies in skin models have demonstrated that millimolar doses of DHA are cytotoxic, yet the genotoxicity was unclear. We examined the genotoxicity of DHA in cell models relevant to inhalation exposures. Human bronchial epithelial cells BEAS-2B, lung carcinoma cells A549, cardiomyocyte Ac16, and hepatocellular carcinoma HepG3 were exposed to DHA, and low millimolar doses of DHA were cytotoxic. IC90 DHA doses induced cell cycle arrest in all cells except the Ac16. We examined DHA's genotoxicity using strand break markers, DNA adduct detection by Repair Assisted Damage Detection (RADD), metaphase spreads, and a forward mutation assay for mutagenesis. Similar to results for skin, DHA did not induce significant levels of strand breaks. However, RADD revealed DNA adducts were induced 24 h after DHA exposure, with BEAS-2B and Ac16 showing oxidative lesions and A549 and HepG3 showing crosslink-type lesions. Yet, only low levels of reactive oxygen species or advanced glycation end products were detected after DHA exposure. Metaphase spreads revealed significant increases in chromosomal aberrations in the BEAS-2B and HepG3 with corresponding changes in ploidy. Finally, we confirmed the mutagenesis observed using the supF reporter plasmid. DHA increased the mutation frequency, consistent with methylmethane sulfonate, a mutagen and clastogen. These data demonstrate DHA is a clastogen, inducing cell-specific genotoxicity and chromosomal instability. The specific genotoxicity measured in the BEAS-2B in this study suggests that inhalation exposures pose health risks to vapers, requiring further investigation."

This study aims to review current data on GGS patients undergoing vismodegib therapy, focusing on treatment duration, clinical outcomes and schedule modifications. A systematic search of the PubMed database was conducted for English articles from 1993 to 2023, identifying 31 papers suitable for inclusion. A total of 351 patients, with a mean age of 52 years, were analysed. The average treatment duration was 9.3 months for patients who discontinued treatment, and 25.1 months for those who continued vismodegib at the time this study was published. Vismodegib achieved a complete response rate of 44%. Treatment interruption predominantly occurred due to side effects (69.1%) and secondary resistance (9.1%). The use of alternative regimens, although not compromising efficacy, may enhance treatment compliance. Further investigations are warranted to ascertain the optimal treatment regimen and timeline for GGS patients. Schedule modifications offer promise in ameliorating side effects and facilitating long-term treatment."

It is typically present in immune cells, suggesting its role in regulating immune responses to infectious diseases. Our previous studies have shown that G-1, a selective GPER agonist, can limit the pathogenesis mediated by Staphylococcus aureus alpha-hemolysin (Hla). It aids in clearing bacteria in a mouse skin infection model and restricts the surface display of the Hla receptor, ADAM10 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease 10) in HaCaT keratinocytes. In this report, we delve into the modulation of GPER in human immune cells in relation to the NLRP3 inflammasome. We used macrophage-like differentiated THP-1 cells for our study. We found that treating these cells with G-1 reduces ATP release, decreases the activity of the caspase-1 enzyme, and lessens cell death following Hla intoxication. This is likely due to the reduced levels of ADAM10 and NLRP3 proteins, as well as the decreased display of the ADAM10 receptor in the G-1-treated THP-1 cells. Our studies, along with our previous work, suggest the potential therapeutic use of G-1 in reducing Hla susceptibility in humans. This highlights the importance of GPER in immune regulation and its potential as a therapeutic target."

+4279,skin cancer,38866901,Variant ranking pipeline for complex familial disorders.,"Identifying genetic susceptibility factors for complex disorders remains a challenging task. To analyze collections of small and large pedigrees where genetic heterogeneity is likely, but biological commonalities are plausible, we have developed a weights-based pipeline to prioritize variants and genes. The Weights-based vAriant Ranking in Pedigrees (WARP) pipeline prioritizes variants using 5 weights: disease incidence rate, number of cases in a family, genome fraction shared amongst cases in a family, allele frequency and variant deleteriousness. Weights, except for the population allele frequency weight, are normalized between 0 and 1. Weights are combined multiplicatively to produce family-specific-variant weights that are then averaged across all families in which the variant is observed to generate a multifamily weight. Sorting multifamily weights in descending order creates a ranked list of variants and genes for further investigation. WARP was validated using familial melanoma sequence data from the European Genome-phenome Archive. The pipeline identified variation in known germline melanoma genes POT1, MITF and BAP1 in 4 out of 13 families (31%). Analysis of the other 9 families identified several interesting genes, some of which might have a role in melanoma.

The incidence of cSCC is increasing globally and the prognosis of metastatic disease is poor. Currently there are no specific targeted therapies for advanced or metastatic cSCC. We have previously shown abundant expression of the complement classical pathway C1 complex components, serine proteases C1r and C1s in tumor cells in invasive cSCCs in vivo, whereas the expression of C1r and C1s was lower in cSCCs in situ, actinic keratoses and in normal skin. We have also shown that knockdown of C1s expression results in decreased viability and growth of cSCC cells by promoting apoptosis both in culture and in vivo. Here, we have studied the effect of specific IgG2a mouse monoclonal antibodies TNT003 and TNT005 targeting human C1s in five primary non-metastatic and three metastatic cSCC cell lines that show intracellular expression of C1s and secretion of C1s into the cell culture media. Treatment of cSCC cells with TNT003 and TNT005 significantly inhibited their growth and viability and promoted apoptosis of cSCC cells. These data indicate that TNT003 and TNT005 inhibit cSCC cell growth in culture and warrant further investigation of C1s targeted inhibition in additional in vitro and in vivo models of cSCC."
+4281,skin cancer,38866801,Integrative transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of the effects of cell confluency on gene expression.,"In this study we examine the impact of cell confluency on gene expression. We focused on Argonaute (AGO) protein dynamics and associated gene and protein expression in HEK293, A375, and SHSY5Y cell lines. As a consequence of cell confluency, AGO2 protein translocates into the nucleus. Therefore, we generated transcriptomic data using RNA sequencing to compare gene expression in subconfluent versus confluent cells, which highlighted significant alterations in gene regulation patterns directly corresponding to changes in cell density. Our study also encompasses miRNA profiling data obtained through small RNA sequencing, revealing miRNA expressional changes dependent on cellular confluency, as well as cellular localization. Finally, we derived proteomic data from mass spectrometry analyses following AGO1-4 immunoprecipitation, providing a comprehensive view of AGO interactome in both nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments under varying confluency. These datasets offer a detailed exploration of the cellular and molecular dynamics, influenced by cell confluency, presenting a valuable resource for further research in cellular biology, particularly in understanding the basic mechanisms of cell density in cancer cells."

However, insufficient dose deposition and immunosuppressive microenvironment (TME) of solid tumors limit its efficacy. Here we report a programmable sequential therapeutic strategy based on multifunctional fusogenic liposomes (Lip@AUR-ACP-aptPD-L1) to overcome the intrinsic radio-immunotherapeutic resistance of solid tumors. Specifically, fusogenic liposomes are loaded with gold-containing Auranofin (AUR) and inserted with multivariate-gated aptamer assemblies (ACP) and PD-L1 aptamers in the lipid membrane, potentiating melanoma-targeted AUR delivery while transferring ACP onto cell surface through selective membrane fusion. AUR amplifies IR-induced immunogenic death of melanoma cells to release antigens and damage-associated molecular patterns such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for triggering adaptive antitumor immunity. AUR-sensitized radiotherapy also upregulates matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) expression that combined with released ATP to activate ACP through an ""and"" logic operation-like process (AND-gate), thus triggering the in-situ release of engineered cytosine-phosphate-guanine aptamer-based immunoadjuvants (eCpG) for stimulating dendritic cell-mediated T cell priming. Furthermore, AUR inhibits tumor-intrinsic vascular endothelial growth factor signaling to suppress infiltration of immunosuppressive cells for fostering an anti-tumorigenic TME. This study offers an approach for solid tumor treatment in the clinics."

There is no consensus on treatment between stenting and surgical repair, although the latter is associated with better distant survival. In surgical repair, the interposition of a flap improves healing by providing well-vascularized tissue and reinforcing the repair zone. The flaps described are usually muscular and decaying. We present the case of a malnourished fifty-year-old man who underwent intrathoracic surgical repair of symptomatic recurrent TOF using a skin flap based on the perforators of the internal thoracic artery (IMAP). The perforator flap was completely de-epidermized and tunneled under the sternum by a proximal and limited resection of the 3rd costal cartilage and placed at the posterior aspect of the trachea, with the excess tissue rolled up on either side. At 9 months, the patient showed no recurrence and improved general condition.

Slides and blocks for 5 cutaneous neoplasms coded as other than Ewing sarcoma and harboring EWSR1::FLI1 were retrieved. Immunohistochemical and molecular genetic results were abstracted from reports. Methylation profiling was performed. Clinical information was obtained. The tumors occurred in 4 men and 1 woman (median: 25 years of age; range: 19-69 years) and involved the skin/subcutis of the back (2), thigh, buttock, and chest wall (median: 2.4 cm; range: 1-11 cm). Two tumors were present ""years"" before coming to clinical attention. The lesions were multinodular and circumscribed and consisted of nests of bland, round cells admixed with hyalinized collagenous bands containing spindled cells. Hemorrhage and cystic change were often present; necrosis was absent. All were diffusely S100 protein/SOX10-positive; 4 of 5 were CD99-negative. One tested case was strongly positive for NKX2.2. A variety of other tested markers were either focally positive (glial fibrillary acidic protein, p63) or negative. Molecular genetic results were as follows: EWSR1 exon 7::FLI1 exon 8, EWSR1 exon 11::FLI1 exon 5, EWSR1 exon 11::FLI1 exon 6, EWSR1 exon 7::FLI1 exon 6, and EWSR1 exon 10::FLI1 exon 6. Methylation profiling (3 cases) showed these to form a unique cluster, distinct from Ewing sarcoma. All patients underwent excision with negative margins; one received 1 cycle of chemotherapy. Clinical follow-up showed all patients to be alive without disease (median: 17 months; range: 11-62 months). Despite similar gene fusions, the morphologic, immunohistochemical, epigenetic, and clinical features of these unique EWSR1::FLI1-fused neoplasms of the skin and subcutis differ substantially from Ewing sarcoma. Interestingly, EWSR1 rearrangements involved exons 10 or 11, only rarely seen in Ewing sarcoma, in a majority of cases. Superficial neurocristic EWSR1::FLI1 fusion tumors should be rigorously distinguished from true cutaneous Ewing sarcomas."

+4290,skin cancer,38866114,Targeting of S-phase kinase associated protein 2 stabilized tumor suppressors leading to apoptotic cell death in squamous skin cancer cells.,"S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (Skp2) is an F-box protein overexpressed in human cancers and linked with poor prognosis. It triggers cancer pathogenesis, including stemness and drug resistance. In this study, we have explored the potential role of Skp2 targeting in restoring the expression of tumor suppressors in human cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) cells. Our results showed that genetic and pharmacological Skp2 targeting markedly suppressed cSCC cell proliferation, colony growth, spheroid formation, and enhanced sensitization to chemotherapeutic drugs. Further, western blot results demonstrated restoration of tumor suppressor (KLF4) and CDKI (p21) and suppression of vimentin and survivin in Skp2-knocked-down cSCC cells. Importantly, we also explored that Skp2 targeting potentiates apoptosis of cSCC cells through MAPK signaling. Moreover, co-targeting of Skp2 and PI3K/AKT resulted in increased cancer cell death. Interestingly, curcumin, a well-known naturally derived anticancer agent, also inhibits Skp2 expression with concomitant CDKI upregulation. In line, curcumin suppressed cSCC cell growth through ROS-mediated apoptosis, while the use of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) reversed curcumin-induced cell death. Curcumin treatment also sensitized cSCC cells to conventional anticancer drugs, such as cisplatin and doxorubicin. Altogether, these data suggest that Skp2 targeting restores the functioning of tumor suppressors, inhibits the expression of genes associated with cell proliferation and stemness, and sensitizes cancer cells to anticancer drugs. Thus, genetic, and pharmacological ablation of Skp2 can be an important strategy for attenuating cancer pathogenesis and associated complications in skin squamous cell carcinoma."

Here, we characterize the tumor microenvironment of LMD and patient-matched extra-cranial metastases using spatial transcriptomics in a small number of clinical specimens (nine tissues from two patients) with extensive in vitro and in vivo validation. The spatial landscape of melanoma LMD is characterized by a lack of immune infiltration and instead exhibits a higher level of stromal involvement. The tumor-stroma interactions at the leptomeninges activate tumor-promoting signaling, mediated through upregulation of SERPINA3. The meningeal stroma is required for melanoma cells to survive in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and promotes MAPK inhibitor resistance. Knocking down SERPINA3 or inhibiting the downstream IGR1R/PI3K/AKT axis results in tumor cell death and re-sensitization to MAPK-targeting therapy. Our data provide a spatial atlas of melanoma LMD, identify the tumor-promoting role of meningeal stroma, and demonstrate a mechanism for overcoming microenvironment-mediated drug resistance in LMD."

In this study, we develop a hydrogel-based organic electronic device (μEPO) for both transdermal delivery of nucleic acids and in vivo microarrayed cell electroporation, which is specifically oriented toward one-step transfection of DNAs in subcutaneous antigen-presenting cells (APCs) for cancer immunotherapy. The μEPO device contains an array of microneedle-shaped electrodes with pre-encapsulated dry DNAs. Upon a pressurized contact with skin tissue, the electrodes are rehydrated, electrically triggered to release DNAs, and then electroporate nearby cells, which can achieve in vivo transfection of more than 50% of the cells in the epidermal and upper dermal layer. As a proof-of-concept, the μEPO technique is employed to facilitate transdermal delivery of neoantigen genes to activate antigen-specific immune response for enhanced cancer immunotherapy based on a DNA vaccination strategy. In an ovalbumin (OVA) cancer vaccine model, we show that high-efficiency transdermal transfection of APCs with OVA-DNAs induces robust cellular and humoral immune responses, including antigen presentation and generation of IFN-γ"

Recent research showed the implication of salt-inducible kinases on the melanin production in skin via MITF regulation. Finding new potent modulators on such target could open the way to several cosmetic applications to attenuate visible signs of photoaging and improve the tan without sun. Since virtual screening can be a powerful tool for detecting hit compounds in the early stages of a drug discovery process, we applied this method on salt-inducible kinase 2 to discover potential interesting compounds. Here, we present the different steps from the construction of a database of natural products, to the validation of a docking protocol and the results of the virtual screening. Hits from the screening were tested in vitro to confirm their efficiency and results are discussed."
+4298,skin cancer,38864955,The importance of ultrasound-guided biopsy: lesson from a case of liver metastasis from uveal melanoma.,"Melanoma is an extremely aggressive malignant neoplasm. Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults, representing 3-5% of all melanomas. Liver metastases can be clinically detected in 10-20% of patients with metastatic disease from cutaneous melanoma. However, while liver is typically not the first site of disease spread in cutaneous melanoma, ocular melanoma has been showed to primarily metastasize from the eye to the liver; indeed, liver metastases are detected in approximately 87% of patients with metastatic uveal melanoma. Therefore, liver metastasis can be challenging to identify in early stages, thus being essentially asymptomatic until the disease has advanced. Here we report the case of a patient who came to our ultrasound unit reporting a large liver mass. Both contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging did not establish a definitive diagnosis. The final diagnosis was made only through an ultrasound-guided biopsy of the mass, thus revealing a uveal melanoma metastasis. This is followed by a review of the literature on imaging follow-up of patients with melanoma."

The extracavitary or solid variant of primary effusion lymphoma has been reported in the skin, gastrointestinal tract, lung, and lymph nodes.

TADM induces Th1-type immune responses and suppresses Th2-type cytokines in acute and chronic allergic inflammation models in vivo. We, therefore, wanted to test whether TADM could also facilitate anti-tumour tissue responses similar to what has been observed for the immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4. A syngeneic mouse melanoma model was selected since metastatic melanoma has been successfully targeted by checkpoint inhibitors in the clinic. TADM inhibited the growth of B16 mouse melanoma tumours at levels comparable to an anti-PD-1 antibody. TADM-treated tumours encompassed significantly more apoptotic cells as measured by TUNEL staining, and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) expression was increased in the spleens of TADM-treated mice compared to untreated controls. TADM-treated mice also demonstrated increased Ly6 C low monocytes and neutrophils in the spleens. However, TADM-treated tumours showed no discernible differences in infiltrating immune cells. TADM can alone suppress the growth of melanoma tumours. TADM likely activates M1 type macrophages, type N1 neutrophils, and CD8+ and Th1 T cells, suppressing the type 2 immune response milieu of melanoma tumour with a strong type 1 immune response."

PRKC fusions activate the Gα q/11 pathway similar to blue nevi. Conversely, inactivating mutations in PRKAR1A activate the Gα s pathway. We hypothesize that PRKC fusions have greater genomic overlap with blue nevi compared with PRKAR1A-inactivated PEMs. We characterized the clinical and morphologic features of 21 PRKC and PRKACB fusion melanocytic tumors and compared this to PRKAR1A mutated PEMs. To test our hypothesis regarding greater genomic overlap between PRKC fusions and blue nevi relative to PRKAR1A mutated PEMs, we performed a principal component analysis (PCA) using mRNA expression data. Lastly, we performed a meta-analysis focusing on the outcome data of PRKC fusions. PRKC fusions occur at a younger median age than PRKAR1A mutated PEMs (16 vs. 27). Histologically, PRKC fusions have solid aggregates of epithelioid melanocytes not typical of PRKAR1A mutated PEMs. The PCA plot showed no overlap between the PRKC fusion group and the PRKAR1A-mutated PEMs. There was a significant overlap between PRKC fusions and blue nevi. A meta-analysis of PRKC fusion cases in the literature suggests melanoma is uncommon, but the loss of BAP-1 nuclear expression may be associated with an adverse prognosis as in tumors from the blue nevus family. PRKC fusion melanocytic tumors have greater genomic overlap with blue nevi compared with PRKAR1A mutated PEMs. We recommend categorizing benign PRKC fusion melanocytic tumors as blue fusion nevi/tumors."
+4304,skin cancer,38863979,Integrated transcriptomic and immunological profiling reveals new diagnostic and prognostic models for cutaneous melanoma.,"The mortality rate associated with cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) remains alarmingly high, highlighting the urgent need for a deeper understanding of its molecular underpinnings. In our study, we leveraged bulk transcriptome sequencing data from the SKCM cohort available in public databases such as TCGA and GEO. We utilized distinct datasets for training and validation purposes and also incorporated mutation and clinical data from TCGA, along with single-cell sequencing data from GEO. Through dimensionality reduction, we annotated cell subtypes within the single-cell data and analyzed the expression of tumor-related pathways across these subtypes. We identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the training set, which were further refined using the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) machine learning algorithm, employing tenfold cross-validation. This enabled the construction of a prognostic model, whose diagnostic efficacy we subsequently validated. We conducted Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses on the DEGs, and performed immunological profiling on two risk groups to elucidate the relationship between model genes and the immune responses relevant to SKCM diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. We also knocked down the GMR6 expression level in the melanoma cells and verified its effect on cancer through multiple experiments. The results indicate that the GMR6 gene plays a role in promoting the proliferation, invasion, and migration of cancer cells in human melanoma. Our findings offer novel insights and a theoretical framework that could enhance prognosis, treatment, and drug development strategies for SKCM, potentially leading to more precise therapeutic interventions."
+4305,skin cancer,38863700,Dengue virus exploits autophagy vesicles and secretory pathways to promote transmission by human dendritic cells.,"Dengue virus (DENV), transmitted by infected mosquitoes, is a major public health concern, with approximately half the world's population at risk for infection. Recent decades have increasing incidence of dengue-associated disease alongside growing frequency of outbreaks. Although promising progress has been made in anti-DENV immunizations, post-infection treatment remains limited to non-specific supportive treatments. Development of antiviral therapeutics is thus required to limit DENV dissemination in humans and to help control the severity of outbreaks. Dendritic cells (DCs) are amongst the first cells to encounter DENV upon injection into the human skin mucosa, and thereafter promote systemic viral dissemination to additional human target cells. Autophagy is a vesicle trafficking pathway involving the formation of cytosolic autophagosomes, and recent reports have highlighted the extensive manipulation of autophagy by flaviviruses, including DENV, for viral replication. However, the temporal profiling and function of autophagy activity in DENV infection and transmission by human primary DCs remains poorly understood. Herein, we demonstrate that mechanisms of autophagosome formation and extracellular vesicle (EV) release have a pro-viral role in DC-mediated DENV transmission. We show that DENV exploits early-stage canonical autophagy to establish infection in primary human DCs. DENV replication enhanced autophagosome formation in primary human DCs, and intrinsically-heightened autophagosome biogenesis correlated with relatively higher rates of DC susceptibility to DENV. Furthermore, our data suggest that viral replication intermediates co-localize with autophagosomes, while productive DENV infection introduces a block at the late degradative stages of autophagy in infected DCs but not in uninfected bystander cells. Notably, we identify for the first time that approximately one-fourth of DC-derived CD9/CD81/CD63+ EVs co-express canonical autophagy marker LC3, and demonstrate that DC-derived EV populations are an alternative, cell-free mechanism by which DCs promote DENV transmission to additional target sites. Taken together, our study highlights intersections between autophagy and secretory pathways during viral infection, and puts forward autophagosome accumulation and viral RNA-laden EVs as host determinants of DC-mediated DENV infection in humans. Host-directed therapeutics targeting autophagy and exocytosis pathways thus have potential to enhance DC-driven resistance to DENV acquisition and thereby limit viral dissemination by initial human target cells following mosquito-to-human transmission of DENV."

Suppression of hyperactivated metabolism has been proven to counteract tumour growth. However, whether the reactivation of downregulated metabolic pathways has therapeutic effects remains unexplored. Here we report a nutrient-based metabolic reactivation strategy for effective melanoma treatment. L-Tyrosine-oleylamine nanomicelles (MTyr-OANPs) were constructed for targeted supplementation of tyrosine to reactivate melanogenesis in melanoma cells. We found that reactivation of melanogenesis using MTyr-OANPs significantly impeded the proliferation of melanoma cells, primarily through the inhibition of glycolysis. Furthermore, leveraging melanin as a natural photothermal reagent for photothermal therapy, we demonstrated the complete eradication of tumours in B16F10 melanoma-bearing mice through treatment with MTyr-OANPs and photothermal therapy. Our strategy for metabolism activation-based tumour treatment suggests specific nutrients as potent activators of metabolic pathways."

Although the use of antibiotics as the first line of intervention for MRSA-infected wounds is recommended, important side effects could occur, including cytotoxicity or immune dysregulation, thus affecting the repair process. Here, we show that the oxazolidinone antibiotic linezolid (LZD) impairs wound healing by aberrantly increasing interleukin 1 β (IL-1β) production in keratinocytes. Mechanistically, LZD triggers a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-independent mitochondrial damage that culminates in increased tethering between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria, which in turn activates the NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome complex by promoting its assembly to the mitochondrial surface. Downregulation of ER-mitochondria contact formation is sufficient to inhibit the LZD-driven NLRP3 inflammasome activation and IL-1β production, restoring wound closure. These results identify the ER-mitochondria association as a key factor for NLRP3 activation and reveal a new mechanism in the regulation of the wound healing process that might be clinically relevant."

We conducted a retrospective single-center cohort study at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, including 210 fully vaccinated COVID-19 inpatients from December 5, 2022, to January 31, 2023. Data on clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, disease severity, treatment, and prognosis were collected and analyzed. Our findings revealed that COVID-19 inpatients still experienced common symptoms at the onset of illness, but most laboratory findings were within the normal range, except for white blood cell count (WBC), lymphocyte count, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels. Following standard treatment, 95.7% of patients were discharged from the hospital. We identified seven variables significantly associated with a higher risk of adverse outcomes, including age over 65, elevated WBC count, reduced lymphocyte count, higher levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), LDH, troponin, D-dimer, and procalcitonin. This study supports the substantial clinical benefits of the ZF2001 vaccine for COVID-19 patients.

To study tissue-specific immune dysregulation, we used a mouse model carrying a missense variant (p.G421R) that causes human disease. We observed spontaneous and imiquimod (IMQ)-induced skin inflammation associated with cell-intrinsic local Th17 responses in STAT3 GOF mice. CD4+ T cells were sufficient to drive skin inflammation and showed increased Il22 expression in expanded clones. Certain aspects of disease, including increased epidermal thickness, also required the presence of STAT3 GOF in epithelial cells. Treatment with a JAK inhibitor improved skin disease without affecting local Th17 recruitment and cytokine production. These findings collectively support the involvement of Th17 responses in the development of organ-specific immune dysregulation in STAT3 GOF and suggest that the presence of STAT3 GOF in tissues is important for disease and can be targeted with JAK inhibition."
+4323,skin cancer,38860936,DDB2 promotes melanoma cell growth by transcriptionally regulating the expression of KMT2A and predicts a poor prognosis.,"Identification of potential key targets of melanoma, a fatal skin malignancy, is critical to the development of new cancer therapies. Lysine methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A) promotes melanoma growth by activating the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) signaling pathway; however, the exact mechanism remains elusive. This study aimed to reveal new molecular targets that regulate KMT2A expression and melanoma growth. Using biotin-streptavidin-agarose pull-down and proteomics, we identified Damage-specific DNA-binding protein 2 (DDB2) as a KMT2A promoter-binding protein in melanoma cells and validated its role as a regulator of KMT2A/hTERT signaling. DDB2 knockdown inhibited the expression of KMT2A and hTERT and inhibited the growth of melanoma cells in vitro. Conversely, overexpression of DDB2 activated the expression of KMT2A and promoted the growth of melanoma cells. Additionally, we demonstrated that DDB2 expression was higher in tumor tissues of patients with melanoma than in corresponding normal tissues and was positively correlated with KMT2A expression. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a poor prognosis in patients with high levels of DDB2 and KMT2A. Overall, our data suggest that DDB2 promotes melanoma cell growth through the transcriptional regulation of KMT2A expression and predicts poor prognosis. Therefore, targeting DDB2 may regulate the effects of KMT2A on melanoma growth and progression, providing a new potential therapeutic strategy for melanoma."

CuS/SnS nanocomposites (S1, S2, S3) were synthesized and characterized, then loaded into exosomes (Exo) (S1-Exo, S2-Exo and S3-Exo) and characterized. After that, the loaded samples were investigated in vitro against A431 using cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and cell cycle assays. CuS/SnS nanocomposites were indexed to hexagonal CuS structure and orthorhombic α-SnS phase and showed nano-rode shape. The exosomes loaded with nanocomposites were regular and rounded within the size of 120 nm, with no signs of broken exosomes or leakage of their contents. The cytotoxicity assay indicated the enhanced cytotoxic of S1-Exo versus the free nano-form S1 on A431. Interestingly, S1-Exo recorded 1.109 times more than DOX in its anti-skin cancer capacity. Moreover, S1-Exo recorded 40.2 % for early apoptosis and 22.1 % for late apoptosis. Furthermore, it displayed impact in arresting the cancer cell cycle at G0/G1 phase and reducing G2/M phase. Noteworthy, loaded nanocomposites were safe against normal HSF skin cells. In conclusion, the loaded CuS/SnS nanocomposites into the exosomes could be of great potential as anti-skin cancer candidates through induction of apoptosis and promotion of the cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase."

Cytologic features of KS have been well-documented in the literature, however, since it is rarely seen in visceral organs, it could pose significant diagnostic challenges on fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies. We present a case of pulmonary KS diagnosed on transbronchial FNA biopsy in a 70-year-old female bilateral lung allograft recipient 11 months after transplantation. The aspirate smears showed a moderately cellular specimen containing a mixture of small, tightly cohesive clusters and loosely clustered groups of monomorphic, ovoid to spindled cells with moderate nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio. An extensive immunohistochemical panel on the concurrent core biopsy showed the tumor cells to be positive for ERG, KIT, and HHV8, confirming the diagnosis. We compared our case to previously published reports of confirmed pulmonary KS in lung allograft recipients."

From a clinical and histologic view, it can be difficult to diagnose cutaneous melanoma (CM) in XP patients and to define its resection margins. We aimed to study the role of PRAME (PReferentially Expressed Antigen in MElanoma) in differentiating intraepidermal CM from superficial atypical melanocytic proliferation of uncertain significance (SAMPUS) and evaluating the histological margins of CMs. We included XP patients. melanocitic and nonmelanocytic lesions with adjacent skin, and, as control groups, sun-damaged skin from non-XP individuals. Melanocytic lesions with a consensus diagnosis were grouped into CM, SAMPUS, or benign. The selected samples were PRAME-immunoshistochemically stained, and the ratio between immuno-positive cells/mm was recorded, according to Olds and colleagues for intraepidermal lesions. Lezcano and colleagues' method was used for intradermal lesions. Clinical data from XP patients were reviewed. All 9 patients were alive and well at the study closure, even those who developed melanoma metastases. Positive/diffuse PRAME expression was found in 29% (7/24) of intraepidermal CMs and 20% (1/5) SAMPUS samples. All 103 XP control samples and 24 adjacent lesions skin of non-XP patients were PRAME negative. This was a single-center and retrospective study, using a relatively small sample, limiting our conclusions. In XP patients' lesions, PRAME expression could help in the setting of challenging melanocytic tumors and surgical margins evaluation. It is also possible that the method can avoid overdiagnosis and, consequently, more aggressive treatment recommendation in unequivocal CM cases."

Herein, OSe-based maleanilic and succinanilic acids were tested to estimate their antitumor activities against fifteen cancer cell lines. Besides, their potential safety and selectivity were further investigated against two normal cell lines, namely, human skin fibroblasts (HSF) and olfactory ensheathing cell line (OEC) using the growth inhibition percentage (GI%) assay. Moreover, the apoptotic potential of the superior anticancer candidates (8, 9, 10, and 11) was evaluated against P53, BAX, Caspase-3, Caspase-6, Caspase-8, Caspase-9, BCL-2, MMP2, and MMP9 apoptotic markers. Additionally, to enhance our understanding and predict the inhibitory potential of the examined compounds as potential anticancer agents, a thorough structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis was conducted. On the other hand, molecular docking and ADMET studies were performed for the examined candidates as well. Overall, our findings point to significant anticancer activities of the organoselenium tethered amidic acids, suggesting their promising cytotoxic potential as effective anticancer drugs."

Fever and leukocytosis frequently accompany the cutaneous lesions. In addition, involvement of the eyes, musculoskeletal system, and internal organs may occur. Sweet syndrome has been associated with a broad range of disorders. There are three subtypes: classical Sweet syndrome, malignancy-associated Sweet syndrome, and drug-induced Sweet syndrome. Classical Sweet syndrome is not associated with malignancy or drugs. It is essentially associated with an upper respiratory infection, gastrointestinal infection, inflammatory bowel disease, and pregnancy. Malignancy-associated Sweet syndrome is associated with hematologic malignancy more than solid malignancy, most commonly with acute myeloid leukemia. Drug-induced Sweet syndrome usually develops approximately two weeks after drug exposure, in patients who lack a prior history of exposure to the inciting drug. Here we are discussing our patient, a 68-year-old male who presented eight weeks after starting chemotherapy with pemetrexed, carboplatin, and pembrolizumab for left lung adenocarcinoma with macular rash. On further investigation with biopsy was found to have neutrophilic dermatitis, hence being diagnosed with drug-induced Sweet syndrome.

However, it is unclear how SELENOK affects lipid metabolism, endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), immune cell infiltration, survival, and prognosis in melanoma patients. Transcriptome data from melanoma patients was used to investigate SELENOK levels and their effect on prognosis, followed by an investigation of SELENOK's effects on immune cell infiltration. Furthermore, a risk model based on ERS, lipid metabolism, and immune-related genes was constructed, and its utility in melanoma prognosis was evaluated. Finally, the drug sensitivity of the risk model was analyzed to provide a reference for melanoma therapy. The results showed that melanoma with a high SELENOK level had a greater degree of immune cell infiltration and a better prognosis. Additionally, SELENOK was found to regulate ERS, lipid metabolism, and immune cell infiltration in melanoma. The risk model based on SELENOK signature genes successfully predicted the prognosis of melanoma, and the low-risk group exhibited a favorable immunological microenvironment. Furthermore, high-risk patients with melanoma were candidates for chemotherapy with RAS pathway inhibitors, whereas low-risk patients were more susceptible to routinely used chemotherapy medicines. In summary, SELENOK was shown to regulate ERS, lipid metabolism, and immune cell infiltration in melanoma, and SELENOK was positively associated with the prognosis of melanoma.

However, its physiological significance for human pigmentation remained enigmatic until the 1990's. α-Melanocyte stimulating hormone and related melanocortins are synthesized locally in the skin, primarily by keratinocytes, in addition to the pituitary gland, and therefore act as paracrine factors for melanocytes. Human melanocytes express the melanocortin 1 receptor, which recognizes α-melanocyte stimulating hormone and the related adrenocorticotropic hormone as agonists. This review summarizes the current knowledge of the pleotropic effects of the activated melanocortin 1 receptor that maintain human melanocyte homeostasis by regulating melanogenesis and the response to environmental stressors, mainly solar radiation. Certain allelic variants of the melanocortin 1 receptor gene are associated with specific pigmentary phenotypes in various human populations. Variants associated with red hair phenotype compromise the function of the encoded receptor. Activation of the human melanocortin 1 receptor regulates eumelanin synthesis and enhances DNA damage response of melanocytes to solar radiation and oxidative stressors. We describe how synthetic selective melanocortin 1 receptor agonists can be efficacious as sunless tanning agents, for treatment of vitiligo and photosensitivity disorders, and for prevention of skin cancer, including melanoma."

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have immunomodulatory properties for psoriasis, but the therapeutic efficacies varied, and the molecular mechanisms were unknown. In this study, we improved the efficacy by enhancing the immunomodulatory effects of umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs). UC-MSCs stimulated by TNF-α and IFN-γ exhibited a better therapeutic effect in a mouse model of psoriasis. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that the stimulated UC-MSCs overrepresented a subpopulation expressing high tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase 1 (WARS1). WARS1-overexpressed UC-MSCs treat psoriasis-like skin inflammation more efficiently than control UC-MSCs by restraining the proinflammatory macrophages. Mechanistically, WARS1 maintained a RhoA-Akt axis and governed the immunomodulatory properties of UC-MSCs. Together, we identify WARS1 as a master regulator of UC-MSCs with enhanced immunomodulatory capacities, which paves the way for the directed modification of UC-MSCs for escalated therapeutic efficacy."

If inadequately treated, it can recur and cause morbidity. Specific management guidelines have not been established. Wide local excision (WLE) has been traditionally used; however, Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) can be advantageous because of complete margin assessment and tissue-sparing nature. This analysis aims to systematically review the surgical modalities used for the management of SC. Articles meeting eligibility criteria were identified using MEDLINE (via PubMed), Embase, Cochrane, and Scopus databases. All studies investigating surgical management of SC with WLE or MMS were considered. Seventy studies met inclusion criteria, including retrospective cohort studies, case series, and case reports. WLE was used in 32 studies, MMS in 29, and MMS and WLE in 9. Subgroup analysis showed that MMS has lower recurrence rates. For WLE, local, regional, and distant recurrence rates were 23.4%, 13.3%, and 11.0%, respectively, and for MMS, 6.8%, 4.3%, and 4.6%, respectively. Patients treated with WLE were more likely to have local recurrence than patients treated with MMS (P = 0.001). WLE cases were more likely to have a regional (P = 0.05) and distant recurrence (P = 0.001). Limitations of the study include heterogeneity of case reports, case series, and retrospective studies, variable follow-up times between the two groups, and large tumors included in the WLE category. In addition, disease-specific survival was not evaluated. MMS cases showed a superior outcome for local, regional, and distant recurrence, making it a good option for the management of SC."

It may exhibit invasive features, involving adnexal invasions. The study aims to assess and compare the clinicopathological correlation of primary EMPD with adnexal features. Materials and methodology The monocentric observational retrospective study observed 43 confirmed primary EMPD cases in patients aged 45-95, excluding those with infectious dermatoses, pseudo-tumors, secondary lesions, or survived less than a month. Demographical, clinical and pathological observations were recorded. Expert dermatopathologists, blinded to the initial diagnosis, conducted a comprehensive histopathological evaluation yielding differential pathological diagnosis. Statistical analysis involved Pearson's Chi-square, Mann-Whitney U, and Spearman's Correlations for clinicopathological concordance and adnexal features. Recurrence was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests, while multivariate recurrence analyses include Cox regression. A p-value < 0.05 was deemed significant. Results There was a significant association between adnexal involvement and the site of lesion (p < 0.05). There was a significant association (p < 0.05) between involved adnexal depth and primary EMPD subtypes. Adnexal involvement has a significant association with the concordance rates derived from clinicopathological correlations (p < 0.05). Smaller lesions and non-invasive EMPD significantly predict longer recurrence onset (p < 0.01). The primary EMPD subtype was the only independent predictor for recurrence time using the Cox regression model. Conclusion Adnexal proliferation in primary EMPD is considered vital on clinicopathological correlations and recurrence predictions, suggestive of its utility on both diagnosis and prognosis."

In recent years, the number of cases among children and adolescents has increased. Psoriasis becomes more aggressive, severe forms are more common. It can be combined with other diseases but is rarely complicated. Isolated cases of the transformation of psoriatic plaques into skin cancer have already been described in the literature. Probable causes were the long-term use of photosensitizers and phototherapy, naphthalene, and tar. However, in general, the risk of the malignant recurrence in patients with psoriasis does not increase significantly. We present a clinical observation of the transformation of psoriasis into cutaneous T-cell lymphoma in a patient with more than 37 years of psoriasis experience, where on the background of typical psoriatic rashes, fungal growths of doughy consistency appeared, which were initially misinterpreted as a warty form of psoriasis. Based on the data of additional methods of examination and the results of histological examination, the diagnosis was clarified. Specific treatment was prescribed, which proved its effectiveness. The probable causes of degeneration, in our opinion, are prolonged irritating external therapy and excessive insolation."

FOXA1 is crucial for the chromatin binding of the androgen receptor (AR) in both normal prostate epithelial cells and the luminal subtype of prostate cancer (PCa). Recent studies have highlighted the emergence of FOXA2 as an adaptive response to AR signaling inhibition treatments. However, the role of the FOXA1 to FOXA2 transition in regulating cancer lineage plasticity remains unclear. Our study demonstrates that FOXA2 binds to distinct classes of developmental enhancers in multiple AR-independent PCa subtypes, with its binding depending on LSD1. Moreover, we reveal that FOXA2 collaborates with JUN at chromatin and promotes transcriptional reprogramming of AP-1 in lineage-plastic cancer cells, thereby facilitating cell state transitions to multiple lineages. Overall, our findings underscore the pivotal role of FOXA2 as a pan-plasticity driver that rewires AP-1 to induce the differential transcriptional reprogramming necessary for cancer cell lineage plasticity."

However, to date there is no effective treatment since achieving the inner ocular tissues still constitutes one of the greatest challenges in actual medicine, because of the complex structure and barriers. Uncoated and PEGylated nanostructured lipid carriers were developed to achieve physico-chemical properties (mean particle size, homogeneity, zeta potential, pH and osmolality) compatible for the ophthalmic administration of (S)-(-)-MRJF22, a new custom-synthetized prodrug for the potential treatment of uveal melanoma. The colloidal physical stability was investigated at different temperatures by Turbiscan® Ageing Station. Morphology analysis and mucoadhesive studies highlighted the presence of small particles suitable to be topically administered on the ocular surface. In vitro release studies performed using Franz diffusion cells demonstrated that the systems were able to provide a slow and prolonged prodrug release. In vitro cytotoxicity test on Human Corneal Epithelium and Human Uveal Melanoma cell lines and Hen's egg-chorioallantoic membrane test showed a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect of the free prodrug on corneal cells, whose cytocompatibility improved when encapsulated into nanoparticles, as also confirmed by in vivo studies on New Zealand albino rabbits. Antiangiogenic capability and preventive anti-inflammatory properties were also investigated on embryonated eggs and rabbits, respectively. Furthermore, preliminary in vivo biodistribution images of fluorescent nanoparticles after topical instillation in rabbits' eyes, suggested their ability to reach the posterior segment of the eye, as a promising strategy for the treatment of choroidal uveal melanoma."

+4382,skin cancer,38851032,Application of mesenchymal stem cells derived from the umbilical cord or Wharton's jelly and their extracellular vesicles in the treatment of various diseases.,"Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) originating from the umbilical cord (UC) or Wharton's jelly (WJ) have attracted substantial interest due to their potential to augment therapeutic approaches for a wide range of disorders. These cells demonstrate a wide range of capabilities in the process of differentiating into a multitude of cell types. Additionally, they possess a significant capacity for proliferation and are conveniently accessible. Furthermore, they possess a status of being immune-privileged, exhibit minimal tumorigenic characteristics, and raise minimal ethical concerns. Consequently, they are well-suited candidates for tissue regeneration and the treatment of diseases. Additionally, UC-derived MSCs offer a substantial yield compared to other sources. The therapeutic effects of these MSCs are closely associated with the release of nanosized extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and microvesicles (MVs), containing lipids, microRNAs, and proteins that facilitate intercellular communication. Due to their reduced tumorigenic and immunogenic characteristics, in addition to their convenient manipulability, EVs have arisen as a viable alternative for the management of disorders. The favorable characteristics of UC-MSCs or WJ-MSCs and their EVs have generated significant attention in clinical investigations encompassing diverse pathologies. Therefore, we present a review encompassing current preclinical and clinical investigations, examining the implications of UC-MSCs in diverse diseases, including those affecting bone, cartilage, skin, liver, kidney, neural, lung, cardiovascular, muscle, and retinal tissues, as well as conditions like cancer, diabetes, sepsis, and others."
+4383,skin cancer,38850434,Estimation of the tissue and serum levels of IL-35 in Mycosis fungoides: a case-control study.,"Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) with its etiology not yet fully understood. Interleukin (IL)-35 is an inhibitory cytokine that belongs to the IL-12 family. Elevated IL-35 in the plasma and the tumor microenvironment increases tumorigenesis and indicates poor prognosis in different types of malignancies. The objective of this study is to estimate the expression levels of IL-35 in tissue and serum of MF patients versus healthy controls. This case-control study included 35 patients with patch, plaque, and tumor MF as well as 30 healthy controls. Patients were fully assessed, and serum samples and lesional skin biopsies were taken prior to starting treatment. The IL-35 levels were measured in both serum and tissue biopsies by ELISA technique. Both tissue and serum IL-35 levels were significantly higher in MF patients than in controls (P < 0.001) and tissue IL-35 was significantly higher than serum IL-35 in MF patients (P < 0.001). Tissue IL-35 was significantly higher in female patients and patients with recurrent MF compared to male patients and those without recurrent disease (P < 0.001). Since both tissue and serum IL-35 levels are increased in MF, IL-35 is suggested to have a possible role in MF pathogenesis. IL-35 can be a useful diagnostic marker for MF. Tissue IL-35 can also be an indicator of disease recurrence."

+4386,skin cancer,38850411,Aspirin as a chemopreventive agent for cutaneous melanoma: a literature review.,"Rising melanoma rates have spurred interest in preventive strategies. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), particularly aspirin, show potential in reducing cancer risks. NSAIDs act on cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, impacting COX-2 associated with inflammation and cancer progression. This paper explores aspirin's role in cutaneous melanoma prevention, elucidating its mechanisms and acknowledging varying literature outcomes. Rather than providing conclusive recommendations, the review emphasizes the influence of individual factors, contributing to the ongoing dialogue on aspirin's complexities in melanoma prevention. A PubMed search using ""Aspirin"" AND ""Cutaneous melanoma"" yielded relevant English-language, peer-reviewed studies. Selection criteria focused exclusively on skin cancers, specifically cutaneous melanoma. Exclusions included studies covering various cancers, some non-dermatologic, and those not evaluating aspirin use independently but in conjunction with NSAIDs. The potential chemopreventive effects of aspirin and NSAIDs against melanoma have gained attention due to their association with a reduced risk of various cancers including gastric, colorectal, and breast. By inhibiting COX enzymes and the NF-κB pathway, these agents theoretically slow malignant cell activities, presenting a prospect for cancer prevention. Aspirin exhibits noteworthy effects, depleting growth-stimulating hormones, generating reactive oxygen species harmful to cancerous cells, and inhibiting COX-2 linked to cancer progression. Limited literature suggests survival benefits with aspirin use in stage II and III melanoma, possibly due to slowing disease progression, evident in smaller Breslow depths. Gender-specific responses to aspirin are notable, with some studies reporting a stronger chemopreventive correlation in females. It's crucial to note that geographic disparities, demographic cohorts, and individual-specific factors are confounding variables that may contribute to conflicting findings regarding aspirin's impact on melanoma. The association between aspirin use and melanoma risk is complex, with conflicting findings across diverse populations. Although it appears that more studies suggest a protective role for aspirin rather than not, evidence lacks consistency. Factors such as gender, geography, race, sun exposure, and health conditions play a role in shaping these varied outcomes, necessitating large-scale, prospective studies research and standardized parameters for more conclusive insights that may help guide tailored clinical strategies for melanoma prevention."

A retrospective study was performed to evaluate the survival of patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) who discontinued cemiplimab due to different causes and without progression. Among 95 patients with CSCC who received cemiplimab, 22 (23%) patients discontinued immunotherapy due to causes other than progression, such as comorbidities, toxicity, complete response or lack of compliance (group that discontinued before censoring [DBC]), then 73 patients had standard treatment scheduled (STS). The overall survival was 25.2 months (95% CI: 8.9-29.4) in STS group and 28.3 months (95% CI: 12.7-28.3) in the DBC group; deaths for all causes were 11/22 (50%) in the DBC group and 34/73 (46.6%) in the STS group (p = 0.32). 10/22 (45.4%) subjects died due to CSCC in the DBC after discontinuation and 34/73 (46.6%) in the STS group, and the difference between groups was not significant (p = 0.230). Duration of treatment was significantly lower in subjects with stable disease versus those with complete or partial response (16.9, 30.6 and 34.9 months, respectively; p = 0.004). Among the 22 STS patients, 12 received cemiplimab for less than 12 months (10 [83%] died) and 10 for at least 12 months (1 [10%] died). Our observation, finding no outcome difference between DBC and STS groups, suggests that ICI treatment after one year might expose patients to further treatment related events without efficacy advantages."

B7 homolog 4 (B7-H4) and B7-H5 (B7 homolog 5) are associated with a variety of tumors. Investigate the potential role of B7-H4 and B7-H5 in regulating the tumorigenesis and progression of CSCC. B7-H4 and B7-H5 transcriptome data were collected from GEO and TCGA databases and subjected to bioinformatical analysis by protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, functional enrichment analysis, immune analysis, and drug-gene interaction prediction analysis. We characterized the expression of B7-H4 and B7-H5 in carcinoma tissues of CSCC patients by immunohistochemistry. Meanwhile, the clinical correlation of B7-H4 and B7-H5 in CSCC was explored by statistical analysis. B7-H4 and B7-H5 genes were under-expressed in CSCC and correlated with tumor staging. According to GO and KEGG Pathway enrichment analysis, B7-H4, and B7-H5 can regulate the proliferation and activation of T cells, lymphocytes, and monocytes, and the expression of cytokines, such as IL-6 and IL-10, in CSCC. B7-H4 and B7-H5 are also jointly involved in the occurrence and development of CSCC via the JAK-STAT and Notch signaling pathways. We found that B7-H4 and B7-H5 proteins were abnormally highly expressed in CSCC tissue and correlated with tumor size and stage. Our findings offer new insights into the pathogenesis of CSCC and suggest that B7-H4 and B7-H5 are novel tissue biomarkers and promising therapeutic targets for CSCC."

+4395,skin cancer,38849973,Xenopus as a model system for studying pigmentation and pigmentary disorders.,"Human pigmentary disorders encompass a broad spectrum of phenotypic changes arising from disruptions in various stages of melanocyte formation, the melanogenesis process, or the transfer of pigment from melanocytes to keratinocytes. A large number of pigmentation genes associated with pigmentary disorders have been identified, many of them awaiting in vivo confirmation. A more comprehensive understanding of the molecular basis of pigmentary disorders requires a vertebrate animal model where changes in pigmentation are easily observable in vivo and can be combined to genomic modifications and gain/loss-of-function tools. Here we present the amphibian Xenopus with its unique features that fulfill these requirements. Changes in pigmentation are particularly easy to score in Xenopus embryos, allowing whole-organism based phenotypic screening. The development and behavior of Xenopus melanocytes closely mimic those observed in mammals. Interestingly, both Xenopus and mammalian skins exhibit comparable reactions to ultraviolet radiation. This review highlights how Xenopus constitutes an alternative and complementary model to the more commonly used mouse and zebrafish, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in melanocyte cell biology and related diseases."

Specific aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases can either promote or suppress tumourigenesis. Here we show that valine aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (VARS) is a key player in the codon-biased translation reprogramming induced by resistance to targeted (MAPK) therapy in melanoma. The proteome rewiring in patient-derived MAPK therapy-resistant melanoma is biased towards the usage of valine and coincides with the upregulation of valine cognate tRNAs and of VARS expression and activity. Strikingly, VARS knockdown re-sensitizes MAPK-therapy-resistant patient-derived melanoma in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, VARS regulates the messenger RNA translation of valine-enriched transcripts, among which hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase mRNA encodes for a key enzyme in fatty acid oxidation. Resistant melanoma cultures rely on fatty acid oxidation and hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase for their survival upon MAPK treatment. Together, our data demonstrate that VARS may represent an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of therapy-resistant melanoma."

+4403,skin cancer,38849093,Multifunctional hydrogels based on photothermal therapy: A prospective platform for the postoperative management of melanoma.,"Preventing the recurrence of melanoma after surgery and accelerating wound healing are among the most challenging aspects of melanoma management. Photothermal therapy has been widely used to treat tumors and bacterial infections and promote wound healing. Owing to its efficacy and specificity, it may be used for postoperative management of tumors. However, its use is limited by the uncontrollable distribution of photosensitizers and the likelihood of damage to the surrounding normal tissue. Hydrogels provide a moist environment with strong biocompatibility and adhesion for wound healing owing to their highly hydrophilic three-dimensional network structure. In addition, these materials serve as excellent drug carriers for tumor treatment and wound healing. It is possible to combine the advantages of both of these agents through different loading modalities to provide a powerful platform for the prevention of tumor recurrence and wound healing. This review summarizes the design strategies, research progress and mechanism of action of hydrogels used in photothermal therapy and discusses their role in preventing tumor recurrence and accelerating wound healing. These findings provide valuable insights into the postoperative management of melanoma and may guide the development of promising multifunctional hydrogels for photothermal therapy."
+4404,skin cancer,38848988,Identification of Small-Molecule Inhibitors Targeting Different Signaling Pathways in Cancer-Associated Fibroblast Reprogramming under Tumor-Stroma Interaction.,"Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) interact reciprocally with tumor cells through various signaling pathways in many cancer types, including cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Among normal fibroblast subtypes, papillary fibroblasts (PFs) and reticular fibroblasts (RFs) respond distinctly to tumor cell signaling, eventuating the differentiation of RFs rather than PFs into CAFs. The regulation of subtype differentiation in fibroblasts remains poorly explored. In this study, we assessed the differences between PFs, RFs, and CAFs and examined the effects of small-molecule inhibitors targeting the TGFβ, phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mTOR, and NOTCH pathways on the tumor-promoting property of CAFs and CAF reprogramming in 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional cultures. Blocking TGFβ and phosphoinositide 3-kinase strongly deactivated and concurrently induced a PF phenotype in RFs and CAFs. Three-dimensional coculturing of a cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma cell line MET2 with RFs or CAFs led to enhanced tumor invasion, RF-CAF transition, and cytokine production, which were further repressed by blocking TGFβ and phosphoinositide 3-kinase/mTOR pathways but not NOTCH pathway. In conclusion, the study identified biomarkers for PFs, RFs, and CAFs and displayed different effects of blocking key signaling pathways in CAFs and tumor cell-CAF interplay. These findings prompted a CAF-to-PF therapeutic strategy and provided perspectives of using included inhibitors in CAF-based cancer therapy."

However, further developments are needed for establishing a viable microchip that can be exploited to deliver a sensitive, robust, and scalable biosensor device. In this study, we demonstrated the fabrication of such a device on silicon wafer using a scalable silicon microfabrication technology followed by characterization and optimization of this sensor for detection of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) with sizes in the range of 30 to 200 nm, as determined by nanoparticle tracking analyses. We showed that the sensitivity of the devices, assessed by a common protein-ligand pair and sEVs, significantly outperforms previous approaches using the same principle. Two versions of the microchips, denoted as enclosed and removable-top microchips, were developed and compared, aiming to discern the importance of high-pressure measurement versus easier and better surface preparation capacity. A custom-built chip manifold allowing easy interfacing with standard microfluidic connections was also constructed. By investigating different electrical, fluidic, morphological, and fluorescence measurements, we show that while the enclosed microchip with its robust glass-silicon bonding can withstand higher pressure and thus generate higher streaming current, the removable-top configuration offers several practical benefits, including easy surface preparation, uniform probe conjugation, and improvement in the limit of detection (LoD). We further compared two common surface functionalization strategies and showed that the developed microchip can achieve both high sensitivity for membrane protein profiling and low LoD for detection of sEV detection. At the optimum working condition, we demonstrated that the microchip could detect sEVs reaching an LoD of 10"

This study aimed to characterize the mode of action of tirbanibulin in keratinocytes (NHEK) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) cell lines (A431, SCC-12) in vitro. Tirbanibulin significantly reduced proliferation in a dose-dependent manner in all investigated cell lines, inhibited migration, and induced G2/M-cell cycle arrest only in the cSCC cell lines analyzed, and induced apoptosis solely in A431, which showed the highest sensitivity to tirbanibulin. In general, we detected low basal expression of phosphorylated SRC in all cell lines analyzed, therefore, interference with SRC signaling does not appear to be the driving force regarding the observed effects of tirbanibulin. The most prominent tirbanibulin-mediated effect was on β-tubulin-polymerization, which was especially impaired in A431. Additionally, tirbanibulin induced an increase of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1α, bFGF and VEGF in A431. In conclusion, tirbanibulin mediated anti-tumor effects predominantly in A431, while healthy keratinocytes and more dedifferentiated SCC-12 were less influenced. These effects of tirbanibulin are most likely mediated via dysregulation of β-tubulin-polymerization and may be supported by proinflammatory aspects."

Our group has previously developed a human uveal melanoma animal model; however, adverse effects caused by the immunosuppressive agent, cyclosporine A, prevented animals from surviving more than 12 weeks. In this study, we tested multiple cyclosporine A doses over an extended disease course up to 20 weeks, providing complete clinical imaging of intraocular tumors, histopathological analysis and liquid biopsy biomarker analysis. Twenty albino rabbits were divided into four groups with different daily cyclosporine A schedules (0-10 mg/kg) and inoculated with human uveal melanoma cell lines, 92.1 or MP41, into the suprachoroidal space. Rabbits were monitored with fundoscopy, ultrasound and optical coherence tomography. Intraocular tumors (macroscopic or microscopic) were detected in all study animals. Tumor size and growth were correlated to cyclosporine A dose, with tumors regressing when cyclosporine A was arrested. All tumors expressed HMB-45 and MelanA; however, tumor size, pigmentation and cell morphology differed in 92.1 vs. MP41 tumors. Finally, across all groups, circulating tumor DNA from plasma and aqueous humor was detected earlier than tumor detection by imaging and correlated to tumor growth.

It appears that metabolic disorders accelerate disease progression. However, correlations between metabolism-linked genes (MRGs) and prognosis in MSCM are unclear, and potential mechanisms explaining the correlation are unknown. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) was utilized as a training set to develop a genomic signature based on the differentially expressed MRGs (DE-MRGs) between primary skin cutaneous melanoma (PSCM) and MSCM. The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) was utilized as a validation set to verify the effectiveness of genomic signature. In addition, a nomogram was established to predict overall survival based on genomic signature and other clinic-based characteristics. Moreover, this study investigated the correlations between genomic signature and tumor micro-environment (TME). This study established a genomic signature consisting of 3 genes (CD38, DHRS3, and TYRP1) and classified MSCM patients into low and high-risk cohorts based on the median risk scores of MSCM cases. It was discovered that cases in the high-risk cohort had significantly lower survival than cases in the low-risk cohort across all sets. Furthermore, a nomogram containing this genomic signature and clinic-based parameters was developed and demonstrated high efficiency in predicting MSCM case survival times. Interestingly, Gene Set Variation Analysis results indicated that the genomic signature was involved in immune-related physiological processes. In addition, this study discovered that risk scoring was negatively correlated with immune-based cellular infiltrations in the TME and critical immune-based checkpoint expression profiles, indicating that favorable prognosis may be influenced in part by immunologically protective micro-environments. A novel 3-genomic signature was found to be reliable for predicting MSCM outcomes and may facilitate personalized immunotherapy."

The objective of this study was to investigate the clinical features of distant metastasis of AM and the factors affecting the survival and prognosis of patients. In this study, a retrospective study was conducted to select 154 AM patients admitted to Nanjing Pukou People's Hospital from January 2018 to April 2021 for clinical research. The clinical characteristics of distant metastasis were statistically analyzed, and the survival curve was drawn with 5-year follow-up outcomes. The median survival time of the patients was calculated, and the clinicopathological features and peripheral blood laboratory indexes of the surviving and dead patients were analyzed. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors affecting the prognosis of AM patients. In this study, 154 patients with AM were treated, including 88 males and 76 females, aged from 27 to 79 years old, with an average age of (59.3 ± 11.7) years old. Among them, 90 cases had distant metastasis. The main metastatic sites were lung (47.78%) and lymph nodes (42.22%). Among them, single site metastasis accounted for 41.11% and multiple site metastasis 58.89%. 89 cases survived and 65 cases died. The survival time was 22 months to 60 months, and the median survival time was 48.0 months. The Breslow thickness, stage at diagnosis, distant metastasis, site of metastasis and ulceration were compared between the survival group and the death group (P < .05). serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and lymphocyte monocyte ratio (LMR) were compared between the survival group and the death group (P < .05). The results of Logistic regression model showed that LDH ≥ 281 U/L, NLR ≥ 2.96, LMR ≤ 3.57, newly diagnosed stage > stage II, distant metastasis, multiple site metastasis and tumor ulcer were independent risk factors for poor prognosis of AM patients (P < .05). Patients with AM had a higher proportion of distant metastasis, mainly lung and lymph node metastasis. Increased LDH, increased NLR, decreased LMR, higher initial stage, distant metastasis, multiple site metastasis, and combined tumor ulcer were closely related to the poor prognosis of patients after surgery."

An extensive search was conducted in the PubMed and Embase databases to identify available publications up to December 2023. Studies were included if they evaluated the diagnostic performance of RCM and dermoscopy in patients with cutaneous melanoma. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Performance Studies (QUADAS-2) tool. A total of 14 articles involving 2013 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The overall sensitivity of RCM was 0.94 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.87-0.98], while the overall sensitivity of dermoscopy was 0.84 (95% CI, 0.71-0.95). These results suggested that RCM has a similar level of sensitivity compared with dermoscopy ( P  = 0.15). In contrast, the overall specificity of RCM was 0.76 (95% CI, 0.67-0.85), while the overall specificity of dermoscopy was 0.47 (95% CI, 0.31-0.63). The results indicated that RCM appears to have a higher specificity in comparison to dermoscopy ( P  < 0.01). Our meta-analysis indicates that RCM demonstrates superior specificity and similar sensitivity to dermoscopy in detecting cutaneous melanoma patients. The high heterogeneity, however, may impact the evidence of the current study, further larger sample prospective research is required to confirm these findings."

Dupilumab, an antibody blocking IL-4 and IL-13, is approved for treating moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) where itching is a significant symptom. We present a case report of intractable malignancy-associated AD and pruritus with eosinophilia in a patient with stage IV malignant melanoma who was treated with dupilumab. Biweekly treatment with dupilumab led to an immediate improvement in itching and resolution of the AD, which subsided after a few doses and without significant adverse effects. Routine radiologic monitoring of the malignant melanoma showed concomitant resolution of secondary nodules in the lung, liver, and pleura. It was concluded that dupilumab may be a safe and effective treatment for intractable malignancy-associated AD with pruritus and may have potential for moderating metastatic malignant melanoma."

In this case report, we present a unique case involving a metastatic sebaceous carcinoma that was not initially detected by a PET/CT scan in an 88-year-old female. Therefore, clinicians must maintain a heightened awareness of sebaceous carcinoma and exercise caution when making decisions solely based on PET scan results. It is crucial to recognise this potential limitation of PET scans in sebaceous carcinoma and consider further diagnostic approaches to ensure timely and accurate detection of sebaceous carcinoma."

We present a case of RT in a 61-year-old Japanese woman with a history of erythema multiforme (EM). She was diagnosed with a nodule on her right breast during therapy for EM. EM was noticed on the anterior chest and upper and lower extremities. RT was initially postponed due to exacerbation of EM before postoperative RT for right breast cancer. However, considering that EM tends to recur every one to two months, RT was commenced during a period of less active dermatitis, and a total dose of 50 Gy of conventional irradiation was successfully administered. One year after RT, there was no EM recurrence, dermatitis development, obvious late effects, or radiation pneumonitis. Our experience suggests that RT can be administered relatively safely to patients with recurrent EM but should be administered with caution."

Several of these cutaneous side effects may include bullous pemphigoid, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). Other case reports have reported DRESS as a rare side effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors but due to its variable presentation and similarities with other cutaneous diseases, it has proven to be a diagnostic challenge. In addition, no effective methods have been developed to monitor for such adverse skin reactions in patients on immunotherapy.

+4429,skin cancer,38846010,The polyphenolic compound punicalagin protects skin fibroblasts from UVA radiation oxidative damage.,"Polyphenols are a class of natural compounds that act as antioxidants, neutralising harmful free radicals that would damage cells and increase the risk of diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease. They also reduce inflammation, which is thought to be at the root of many chronic diseases. We are investigating the photoprotective effects of punicalagin, a type of polyphenolic compound mainly found in pomegranates, against UVA-induced damage in human skin fibroblasts. Punicalagin increases cell viability and reduces the high levels of ROS generated by photooxidative stress through its ability to modulate the Nrf2 transcriptional pathway. Interestingly, activation of the Nrf2 pathway results in an increase in reduced glutathione, NADH, and subsequently protects mitochondrial respiratory capacity. Integrating molecular and imaging approaches, our results demonstrate a potential cytoprotective effect of punicalagin against UVA-induced skin damage through an anti-apoptotic mechanism."
+4430,skin cancer,38845569,Recent advances in understanding the molecular basis of infantile haemangioma development.,"Infantile haemangioma (IH) - the most common vascular tumour of infancy - is comprised of diverse cell types, including endothelial cells, pericytes, fibroblasts and immune cells. IH is characterized by rapid proliferation followed by slow involution over 1-10 years. Most lesions regress spontaneously, but up to 10% can be disfiguring, with complications that require further medical treatment. Recent research has revealed the biological characteristics of IH, highlighting the involvement of angiogenesis and vasculogenesis during tumour formation. Gene expression profiling has provided vital insights into the underlying biological processes, with some of the key IH-related pathways identified, including vascular endothelial growth factor, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, hypoxia-inducible factor 1α, Notch, platelet-derived growth factor, phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin, Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription, fibroblast growth factor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ and insulin-like growth factor. Further evidence suggests extracellular matrix factors and hormone receptors regulate IH progression. In this review, we explore the molecular mechanisms involved in the proliferating, plateau and involuting phases of IH, identifying differentially expressed genes, targeted proteins and key signalling pathways. This knowledge will increase the broader understanding of vascular development, tissue remodelling and angiogenesis."

+4442,skin cancer,38844180,Active control of pharmacokinetics using light-responsive polymer-drug conjugates for boron neutron capture therapy.,"In boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), boron drugs should exhibit high intratumoral boron concentrations during neutron irradiation, while being cleared from the blood and normal organs. However, it is usually challenging to achieve such tumor accumulation and quick clearance simultaneously in a temporally controlled manner. Here, we developed a polymer-drug conjugate that can actively control the clearance of the drugs from the blood. This polymer-drug conjugate is based on a biocompatible polymer that passively accumulates in tumors. Its side chains were conjugated with the low-molecular-weight boron drugs, which are immediately excreted by the kidneys, via photolabile linkers. In a murine subcutaneous tumor model, the polymer-drug conjugate could accumulate in the tumor with the high boron concentration ratio of the tumor to the surrounding normal tissue (∼10) after intravenous injection while a considerable amount remained in the bloodstream as well. Photoirradiation to blood vessels through the skin surface cleaved the linker to release the boron drug in the blood, allowing for its rapid clearance from the bloodstream. Meanwhile, the boron concentration in the tumor which was not photoirradiated could be maintained high, permitting strong BNCT effects. In clinical BNCT, the dose of thermal neutrons to solid tumors is determined by the maximum radiation exposure to normal organs. Thus, our polymer-drug conjugate may enable us to increase the therapeutic radiation dose to tumors in such a practical situation."

+4448,skin cancer,38843045,Lessons learnt from an aggressive tumour masquerading as a neuropathic heel ulcer: a case report.,"Cutaneous malignant melanoma (cMM) can develop at any site, but one-third of cases primarily affect the lower extremities, with ankle and foot lesions representing 3-15% of all cases. However, cMM may become a clinical conundrum when it presents as chronic ulceration that is clinically indiscernible from other lower extremity ulcers in patients with diabetes. We present the case of a 71-year-old female patient with a longstanding history of diabetes, hypertension, obesity, chronic kidney disease and heart failure who presented to our hospital with a fungating heel ulcer. The lesion was initially managed in another hospital as a neuropathic diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), treated by multiple local wound debridement. However, the ulcer progressed into a fungating heel lesion that interfered with the patient's mobility and quality of life. Consequently, the patient was referred to our specialist diabetic foot service for further management. Excisional biopsy of the lesion disclosed a cMM. Positron emission tomography/computed-tomography scanning revealed hypermetabolic ipsilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy, and a right cerebral metastasis for which palliative chemotherapy was initiated. Immunotherapy was considered, but the patient died before it was started. Atypical foot ulcers in patients with diabetes warrant a careful diagnostic approach, especially for recalcitrant cutaneous lesions not responding to standard therapies. Conscientious management, without undue delay in obtaining a histopathological diagnosis, might lead to early diagnosis of melanoma and potentially more favourable outcomes. This case highlights the importance of consideration of atypical foot lesions, in general practice in addition to referral centres, to try to identify alarming features and act accordingly."

+4451,skin cancer,38842752,Lactate secreted by glycolytic conjunctival melanoma cells attracts and polarizes macrophages to drive angiogenesis in zebrafish xenografts.,"Conjunctival melanoma (CoM) is a rare but potentially lethal cancer of the eye, with limited therapeutic option for metastases. A better understanding how primary CoM disseminate to form metastases is urgently needed in order to develop novel therapies. Previous studies indicated that primary CoM tumors express Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and may recruit pro-tumorigenic M2-like macrophages. However, due to a lack of proper models, the expected role of angiogenesis in the metastatic dissemination of CoM is still unknown. We show that cells derived from two CoM cell lines induce a strong angiogenic response when xenografted in zebrafish larvae. CoM cells are highly glycolytic and secrete lactate, which recruits and polarizes human and zebrafish macrophages towards a M2-like phenotype. These macrophages elevate the levels of proangiogenic factors such as VEGF, TGF-β, and IL-10 in the tumor microenvironment to induce an angiogenic response towards the engrafted CoM cells in vivo. Chemical ablation of zebrafish macrophages or inhibition of glycolysis in CoM cells terminates this response, suggesting that attraction of lactate-dependent macrophages into engrafted CoM cells drives angiogenesis and serves as a possible dissemination mechanism for glycolytic CoM cells."

A 75-year-old woman with stage IV papillary urothelial carcinoma of the bladder who completed cycle 2 of enfortumab vedotin (EV) infusions presented to our dermatology department for new-onset symmetric and painful dusky erythematous patches on the extremities and trunk without mucosal involvement. Two biopsies were obtained, which revealed an interface dermatitis with notable ring mitoses within the basal and suprabasal layers of the epidermis without epidermal necrosis. The patient was diagnosed with toxic erythema of chemotherapy and improved with application of triamcinolone 0.1% ointment twice daily without discontinuation of her EV infusions. Although a targeted therapy, EV commonly exhibits cutaneous side effects due to the expression of nectin-4 in the skin. Most cutaneous side effects are mild and can be managed symptomatically. However, severe drug-induced eruptions, such as toxic epidermal necrolysis, have been described. The histologic findings of EV associated skin eruptions can aid in correctly identifying the culprit drug and assist in management. This case provides insights for dermatologists by highlighting the common cutaneous side effects of EV and the associated histologic findings as this targeted therapy becomes increasingly utilized in the treatment of refractory neoplasms."

This report presents 2 cases of dedifferentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) composed of sheets of malignant mononuclear cells with malignant osteoclast-like multinucleated giant cells, extravasated blood, and hemosiderin resembling cutaneous giant cell tumor (cGCT). In the first case, an exophytic facial mass of a 96-year-old woman removed by shave showing extensive cGCT-like tumor but with microscopic elements of SCC in situ and positivity for cytokeratin 5/6 in the malignant spindle cells and SCC. The second case involved a 32-year-old man with a pedunculated penile mass removed by shave biopsy, displaying malignant cytology resembling cGCT, focal staining for cytokeratin AE1/AE3 and p63, and CD68 highlighting the osteoclast-like giant cells. Molecular analysis revealed CDKN2A, TP53, and TERT. Upon reexcision, case 2 showed focally invasive keratinizing SCC associated with differentiated penile intraepithelial neoplasia and lichen sclerosus. Skin specimens with an exophytic mass histologically resembling cGCT but with malignant cytology should be meticulously evaluated for elements of SCC.

We present a novel case highlighting the clinical and histopathological features, notably its association with persistent firm facial edema in a patient with systemic sclerosis (SSc). A 47-year-old woman with a 21-year history of SSc presented with firm palpebral edema evolving to involve the entire face and cervical region over six months. Diagnostic imaging revealed inflammatory changes in orbital regions, supradiaphragmatic lymphadenopathies, and lytic lesions. Skin biopsy demonstrated a diffuse neoplasm with vascular channels and solid areas, accompanied by dense lymphocytic proliferation. Pseudolymphomatous cutaneous angiosarcoma, a rare malignant neoplasm, exhibits variable clinical presentations and rapid progression. Histologically, it manifests as irregularly shaped vascular channels lined by prominent endothelial cells. Immunohistochemistry, particularly markers such as v-ets erythroblastosis virus E26 oncogene homolog (avian) (ERG), aids in diagnosis. Notably, this case marks the first presentation of cAS with persistent facial edema in SSc, highlighting the association between SSc and cancer risk. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges posed by cAS and emphasizes the importance of early detection for optimal patient outcomes. Further understanding of its association with autoimmune disorders such as SSc is crucial for comprehensive management strategies."

In this study, we used estradiol, bioavailable testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin, and total testosterone as the exposure and melanoma as the outcome for two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis. In this study, a random-effects inverse-variance weighting (IVW) model was used as the main analysis model, and the corresponding weighted median, simple mode, weighted mode, and Mendelian randomization‒Egger methods were used as supplementary methods. We assessed both heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy in our study, scrutinizing whether the analysis results were affected by any individual single nucleotide polymorphism. The random-effects IVW method indicated that estradiol [odds ratio (OR), 1.000; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.998-1.003; P  = 0.658], bioavailable testosterone (OR = 1.001, 95% CI, 0.999-1.003; P  = 0.294), sex hormone-binding globulin (IVW: OR, 1.000; 95% CI, 0.998-1.003; P  = 0.658), and total testosterone (IVW: OR, 1.002; 95% CI, 0.999-1.005; P  = 0.135) were not genetically linked to cutaneous melanoma. No analyses exhibited heterogeneity, horizontal pleiotropy, or deviations. We were unable to find genetic evidence for a causal relationship between sex hormones and the occurrence of cutaneous melanoma in this study. These results are limited by sample size and population, so the causal relationship between sex hormones and cutaneous melanoma needs to be further studied."

This study assessed the impact of ginseng leaf extract (GLE) on mast cell-mediated allergic inflammation and atopic dermatitis (AD) in DNCB-treated mice. GLE reduced skin thickness and lymph node nodules and suppressed the expression and secretion of histamine and pro-inflammatory cytokines. It also significantly lowered the production of inflammatory response mediators including ROS, leukotriene C4 (LTC4), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). GLE inhibited the phosphorylation of MAPKs (ERK, P38, JNK) and the activation of NF-κB, which are both linked to inflammatory cytokine expression. We demonstrated that GLE's inhibitory effect on mast cell-mediated allergic inflammation is due to the blockade of the NF-κB and inflammasome pathways. Our findings suggest that GLE can be an effective therapeutic agent for mast-cell mediated and allergic inflammatory conditions."
+4468,skin cancer,38840983,Comparative Analysis of Slow Mohs Surgery in Melanoma and Mohs Micrographic Surgery in Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Basal Cell Carcinoma.,"Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide, and it can affect people of all ages, races, and genders. Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), a specialized type of skin cancer surgery, boasts the highest cure rates for various types of skin malignancies. Slow Mohs surgery (SMS) is a methodical and meticulous approach to MMS that involves careful and deliberate examination of tissue samples to ensure the complete removal of skin cancer while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. Both SMS and MMS have been indicated to be effective treatment options for skin cancer, depending on the type and stage of cancer. This case-control study analysis compares the efficacy of SMS for melanoma with that of MMS for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC). We analyzed data from the past two decades to assess recurrence rates and treatment-related complications. Our findings suggest that SMS for melanoma achieves comparable outcomes to MMS in SCC and BCC. Both approaches demonstrated similar cure rates and complication profiles. However, further prospective studies are necessary to solidify these findings and refine the specific role of SMS in melanoma therapy."
+4469,skin cancer,38840385,GBP1 promotes cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma proliferation and invasion through activation of STAT3 by SP1.,"Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) ranks as the second most prevalent skin tumour (excluding melanoma). However, the molecular mechanisms driving cSCC progression remain elusive. This study aimed to investigate GBP1 expression in cSCC and elucidate its potential molecular mechanisms underlying cSCC development. GBP1 expression was assessed across public databases, cell lines and tissue samples. Various assays, including clone formation, CCK8 and EdU were employed to evaluate cell proliferation, while wound healing and transwell assays determined cell migration and invasion. Subcutaneous tumour assays were conducted to assess in vivo tumour proliferation, and molecular mechanisms were explored through western blotting, immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation. Results identified GBP1 as an oncogene in cSCC, with elevated expression in both tumour tissues and cells, strongly correlating with tumour stage and grade. In vitro and in vivo investigations revealed that increased GBP1 expression significantly enhanced cSCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Mechanistically, GBP1 interaction with SP1 promoted STAT3 activation, contributing to malignant behaviours. In conclusion, the study highlights the crucial role of the GBP1/SP1/STAT3 signalling axis in regulating tumour progression in cSCC. These findings provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms of cSCC development and offer potential therapeutic targets for interventions against cSCC."
+4470,skin cancer,38840370,Visualising cancer in 3D: 3-Dimensional Tissue Imaging for management of cutaneous basal cell carcinoma.,"Surgical management of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) typically involves surgical excision with post-operative margin assessment using the bread-loafing technique; or gold-standard Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), where margins are iteratively examined for residual cancer after tumour removal, with additional excisions performed upon detecting residual tumour at margins. There is limited sampling of resection margins with bread loafing, with detection of positive margins 44% of the time using 2 mm intervals. To resolve this, we have developed three-dimensional (3D) Tissue Imaging for: (1) complete examination of cancer margins and (2) detection of tumour proximity to nerves and blood vessels. 3D Tissue optical clearing with a light sheet imaging protocol was developed for margin assessment in two datasets assessed by two independent evaluators: (1) 48 samples from 29 patients with varied BCC subtypes, sizes and pigmentation levels; (2) 32 samples with matching Mohs' surgeon reading of tumour margins using two-dimensional haematoxylin & eosin-stained sections. The 3D Tissue Imaging protocol permits a complete examination of deeper and peripheral margins. Two independent evaluators achieved negative predictive values of 92.3% and 88.24% with 3D Tissue Imaging. Images obtained from 3D Tissue Imaging recapitulates histological features of BCC, such as nuclear crowding, palisading and retraction clefting and provides a 3D context for recognising normal skin adnexal structures. Concurrent immunofluorescence labelling of nerves and blood vessels allows visualisation of structures closer to tumour-positive regions, which may have a higher risk for neural and vascular infiltration. Together, this method provides more information in a 3D spatial context, enabling better cancer management by clinicians."
+4471,skin cancer,38840323,Pigmented nonmelanoma skin cancers of the genital area: a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge - monocentric experience and review of the literature.,"Nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSC), comprising basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), are typically encountered on photo-exposed skin. Nevertheless, several cases of NMSC have been described in covered areas such as the genital region; furthermore, some of these lesions may express a variable degree of pigmentation. Due to the existence of mucosal melanoma, an accurate diagnosis is paramount. In this narrative review, we focused our attention on management and - in particular- diagnosis of pigmented NMSC (pNMSC) located in the genital region, emphasizing the features assessed by dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy. As an implementation, we included data on pNMSC from the Dermatology Unit of the University of Campania Vanvitelli. BCC in the genital region represents only 1% of all BCC cases. It has been supposed that the mutation of patched 1 may lead to the development of BCC even without concomitant UV exposure. Pigmented variants on genitals have seldom been described. More prominent dermoscopic features seem to be blue-gray ovoid nests and arborizing vessels associated with whitish structureless areas. SCC and Bowen's disease (BD) - a variant of in situ SCC - may be encountered in the genital area and are sometimes associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Pigmented SCC is very rare, and most of the literature is focused on pigmented BD (pBD), which is mainly characterized by gray-brown dots in a linear fashion and glomerular vessels without evident scales. In conclusion, pNMSC is rarely encountered on genitals; evaluation with dermoscopy or other ancillary devices like RCM is important both to exclude benign lesions like seborrheic keratosis and lentigo and to rule out melanoma."
+4472,skin cancer,38839791,Characterization of two different alginate-based bioinks and the influence of melanoma growth within.,"Extrusion-based bioprinting is an established method in biofabrication. Suitable bioinks have fundamentally different compositions and characteristics, which should be examined, in order to find a perfect model system. Here, we investigate the effect of two alginate-based, yet unalike 3D-printed bioinks, pre-crosslinked alginate-dialdehyde gelatin (ADA-GEL) and a mixture of alginate, hyaluronic acid, and gelatin (Alg/HA/Gel), on the melanoma cell line Mel Im and vice versa in terms of stiffness, shrinkage, cellular behavior and colony formation over 15 days. Rheological stiffness measurements revealed two soft gels with similar storage moduli. The cells did not have a significant impact on the overall stiffness, whereas ADA-GEL (2.5/2.5%) was significantly stiffer than Alg/HA/Gel (0.5/0.1/3%). Regarding the shrinkage of printed constructs, cells had a significant influence, especially in ADA-GEL, which has covalent bonds between the oxidized alginate and gelatin. Multi-photon microscopy exhibited proliferation, cell spreading and migration in ADA-GEL with cell-cell and cell-matrix interaction, dissimilarly to Alg/HA/Gel, in which cells formed spherical, encapsulated colonies. Scanning electron microscopy and histology showed degradation and multi-layered growth on ADA-GEL and fewer examples of escaped cells on Alg/HA/Gel. Both gels serve as proliferation bioink for melanoma with more necrosis in deeper Alg/HA/Gel colonies and differences in spreading and matrix interaction. These findings show the importance of proper characterization of the bioinks for different applications."

+4474,skin cancer,38839675,Enhancing Skin Cancer Diagnosis Using Swin Transformer with Hybrid Shifted Window-Based Multi-head Self-attention and SwiGLU-Based MLP.,"Skin cancer is one of the most frequently occurring cancers worldwide, and early detection is crucial for effective treatment. Dermatologists often face challenges such as heavy data demands, potential human errors, and strict time limits, which can negatively affect diagnostic outcomes. Deep learning-based diagnostic systems offer quick, accurate testing and enhanced research capabilities, providing significant support to dermatologists. In this study, we enhanced the Swin Transformer architecture by implementing the hybrid shifted window-based multi-head self-attention (HSW-MSA) in place of the conventional shifted window-based multi-head self-attention (SW-MSA). This adjustment enables the model to more efficiently process areas of skin cancer overlap, capture finer details, and manage long-range dependencies, while maintaining memory usage and computational efficiency during training. Additionally, the study replaces the standard multi-layer perceptron (MLP) in the Swin Transformer with a SwiGLU-based MLP, an upgraded version of the gated linear unit (GLU) module, to achieve higher accuracy, faster training speeds, and better parameter efficiency. The modified Swin model-base was evaluated using the publicly accessible ISIC 2019 skin dataset with eight classes and was compared against popular convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and cutting-edge vision transformer (ViT) models. In an exhaustive assessment on the unseen test dataset, the proposed Swin-Base model demonstrated exceptional performance, achieving an accuracy of 89.36%, a recall of 85.13%, a precision of 88.22%, and an F1-score of 86.65%, surpassing all previously reported research and deep learning models documented in the literature."

We were able to further characterise the lesions via serial obstetric ultrasound imaging with the aid of three-dimensional (3D) technology. Although the precise diagnosis prenatally was uncertain, the use of 3D technology allowed the reconstruction of the fetal cutaneous lesions for multidisciplinary assessment to facilitate the development of a neonatal management plan. The diagnosis of CSN was made postnatally on biopsy."

A man in his 60s with a history of high-grade angiosarcoma of the right temporoparietal scalp reconstruction had a 1-year history of 2 nonhealing scalp wounds after neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiation therapy, wide local excision, and latissimus dorsi free flap and split-thickness skin graft. The patient underwent débridement followed by 4 collagen (Bellafill)-PEP and 4 fibrin (Tisseel)-PEP applications during 7 months in 2022. Photographs of the area of exposed bone of the temporoparietal wound were measured and standardized by ImageJ open-source software. The frontal wound was not routinely measured and therefore was qualitatively assessed by reviewing photographs over time. The frontal wound completely healed, and the temporoparietal wound showed a 96% decrease in overall size. The patient had no adverse effects of treatment and continues to demonstrate ongoing healing. This case exhibits the safety and utility of topical PEP therapy for noninvasive treatment of poorly healing scalp wounds and offers the potential for an alternative treatment of patients who are poor candidates for additional surgical intervention."
+4480,skin cancer,38839106,Off-targets of BRAF inhibitors disrupt endothelial signaling and vascular barrier function.,"Targeted therapies against mutant BRAF are effectively used in combination with MEK inhibitors (MEKi) to treat advanced melanoma. However, treatment success is affected by resistance and adverse events (AEs). Approved BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) show high levels of target promiscuity, which can contribute to these effects. The blood vessel lining is in direct contact with high plasma concentrations of BRAFi, but effects of the inhibitors in this cell type are unknown. Hence, we aimed to characterize responses to approved BRAFi for melanoma in the vascular endothelium. We showed that clinically approved BRAFi induced a paradoxical activation of endothelial MAPK signaling. Moreover, phosphoproteomics revealed distinct sets of off-targets per inhibitor. Endothelial barrier function and junction integrity were impaired upon treatment with vemurafenib and the next-generation dimerization inhibitor PLX8394, but not with dabrafenib or encorafenib. Together, these findings provide insights into the surprisingly distinct side effects of BRAFi on endothelial signaling and functionality. Better understanding of off-target effects could help to identify molecular mechanisms behind AEs and guide the continued development of therapies for BRAF-mutant melanoma."

+4484,skin cancer,38838764,Safety and efficacy outcomes of early cessation of anti-PD1 therapy in patients 80 years or older: A retrospective cohort study.,"Older patients have similar immune checkpoint inhibitor efficacy and rates of adverse events as younger patients, but appear to have decreased tolerability, particularly in the oldest patient cohort (>80 years), often leading to early cessation of therapy. We aimed to determine whether early discontinuation impacts efficacy of anti-PD-1 therapy in patients ≥80 years old. In this retrospective, multicenter, international cohort study, we examined 773 patients with 4 tumor types who were at least 80 years old and treated with anti-PD-1 therapy. We determined response rate, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients who discontinued therapy early (<12 months) for reasons other than progression or death. We used descriptive statistics for demographics, response, and toxicity rates. Survival statistics were described using Kaplan Meier curves. Median (range) age at anti-PD-1 initiation was 83.0 (75.8-97.0) years. The cancer types included were melanoma (n = 286), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (n = 345), urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) (n = 108), and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (n = 34). Of these, 102 met the primary endpoint of <12 months to discontinuation for reasons other than death or progression. Median PFS and OS, respectively, for these patients were 34.4 months and 46.6 months for melanoma, 15.8 months and 23.4 months for NSCLC, and 10.4 months and 15.8 months for UCC. This study suggests geriatric patients who have demonstrated therapeutic benefit and discontinued anti-PD-1 therapy at less than 12 months of duration for reasons other than progression may have durable clinical benefit without additional therapy."
+4485,skin cancer,38838713,Prader-Willi syndrome: guidance for children and transition into adulthood.,"Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare orphan disease and complex genetic neurodevelopmental disorder, with a birth incidence of approximately 1 in 10,000-30,000. Management of people with PWS requires a multi-disciplinary approach, ideally through a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) clinic with community support. Hypotonia, poor feeding and faltering growth are characteristic features in the neonatal period, followed by hyperphagia and risk of rapid weight gain later in childhood. Children and adolescents (CA) with PWS usually display developmental delay and mild learning disability and can develop endocrinopathies, scoliosis, respiratory difficulties (both central and obstructive sleep apnoea), challenging behaviours, skin picking, and mental health issues, especially into adulthood. This consensus statement is intended to be a reference document for clinicians managing children and adolescents (up to 18 years of age) with PWS. It considers the bio-psycho-social domains of diagnosis, clinical assessment, and management in the paediatric setting as well as during and after transition to adult services. The guidance has been developed from information gathered from peer-reviewed scientific reports and from the expertise of a range of experienced clinicians in the United Kingdom and Ireland involved in the care of patients with PWS."

Nevertheless, the systemic delivery of STING agonists to the tumour presents challenges. Therefore, we designed a cyclic dinucleotide (CDN)-based drug delivery system (DDS) combined photothermal therapy (PTT)/photodynamic therapy (PDT)/immunotherapy for cutaneous melanoma. We coencapsulated a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive prodrug thioketone-linked CDN (TK-CDN), and photoresponsive agents chlorin E6 (Y6) within mitochondria-targeting reagent triphenylphosphonium (TPP)-modified liposomes (Lipo/TK-CDN/TPP/Y6). Lipo/TK-CDN/TPP/Y6 exhibited a photothermal effect similar to Y6, along with a superior cellular uptake rate. Upon endocytosis by B16F10 cells, Lipo/TK-CDN/TPP/Y6 generated large amounts of ROS under laser irradiation for PDT. Mice bearing B16F10 tumours were intravenously injected with Lipo/TK-CDN/TPP/Y6 and exposed to irradiation, resulting in a substantial inhibition of tumour growth. Exploration of the mechanism of anti-tumour action showed that Lipo/TK-CDN/TPP/Y6 had a stronger stimulation of STING activation and anti-tumour immune cell infiltration compared to other groups. Hence, the Lipo/TK-CDN/TPP/Y6 nanoparticles offer great potential as a DDS for targeted and on-demand drug release at tumour sites. These nanoparticles exhibit promise as a candidate for precise and controllable combination therapy in the treatment of tumours."

Dogs with highly aggressive and heterogeneous tumours, such as oral malignant melanoma (OMM), could benefit from studies involving size-based isolation methods for CTCs, as they do not depend on specific antibodies. This pilot study aimed to detect CTCs from canine OMM using Isolation by Size of Epithelial Tumor Cells (ISET), a microfiltration methodology, followed by immunocytochemistry (ICC) with Melan-A, PNL2, and S100 antibodies. Ten canine patients diagnosed by histopathology and confirmed as OMM by immunohistochemistry were enrolled, their prognostic data was assessed, and blood samples were collected for CTC analysis. Results have shown the detection of intact cells in 9/10 patients. ICC has shown 3/9 Melan-A-positive, 3/9 PNL2-positive, and 8/9 S100-positive patients, confirming the importance of opting for a multimarker assay. A significant number of negative-stained CTCs were found, suggesting their high heterogeneity in circulation. Microemboli stained with either PNL2 or S100 were found in a patient with a high isolated cell count and advanced clinical stage. Preliminary statistical analysis shows a significant difference in CTC count between patients with and without lymph node metastasis (p < .05), which may correlate with tumour metastatic potential. However, we recommend further studies with more extensive sampling to confirm this result. This pilot study is the first report of intact CTC detection in canine OMM and the first application of ISET in veterinary medicine, opening new possibilities for liquid biopsy studies in canine OMM and other tumours."

The ZnO NPs were produced using the aqueous extract of the root hair of Phoenix dactylifera. The optimized green-synthesized ZnO NPs, PEGylated and conjugated to DOX, demonstrated a particle size below 100 nm, low polydispersity index, and zeta potential between - 11 and - 19 mV. The UV-Vis spectroscopy analysis confirmed characteristic absorption peaks at 351 and 545 nm for ZnO and DOX, respectively. The transmission electron microscope (TEM) images revealed well-dispersed spherical nanoparticles without aggregation. Additionally, ZnO NPs-loaded gels exhibited uniformity, cohesion, no phase separation, pseudoplastic flow, and viscoelastic properties. The in vitro release studies showed that DOX-PEG-ZnO NPs hydrogel released 99.5% of DOX after 5 h of starting the release. Moreover, the penetration of DOX-PEG-ZnO NPs through excised rat skin was visualized by TEM. In conclusion, the hydrogel formulation containing green-synthesized DOX-PEG-ZnO NPs holds great promise for dermal administration in skin cancer treatment. Furthermore, the release rate and skin penetration of DOX from gels were varied based on the type of gel matrix and corroborated with their corresponding rheological properties."

The extension of life expectancy has led to an increased incidence of bone metastases (BM) among patients with cancer. BM result in skeletal-related events, including severe pain, pathological fractures, and nerve palsy. Surgery is typically required for the treatment of BM in patients with an impending fracture; however, it may be avoided in those who respond to ICIs. We systematically reviewed studies analyzing BM responses to treatment with ICIs."

Surgical treatment is the option, and late recurrence is very rare. Radiologically, the lesions are commonly present scattered calcifications. This case report details a 64-year-old female patient with a recurrence of a right mandibular calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor 2 decades after successful initial surgical removal. A segmental mandibulectomy and immediate reconstruction were performed using a planned vascularized free fibula flap with virtual surgery, custom reconstruction plate, and intraoperative computed tomography. Modifications were made to the design of the reconstruction plate to improve the cervicofacial profile and subsequent rehabilitation with dental implants. Fully guided implant surgery with point-of-care manufacturing protocol was done to improve prosthetically driven implant planning. The case presented highlights the usefulness of new technologies for mandibular reconstruction with the free fibula flap and the concept of point-of-care with technical notes that increase precision and reduce morbidity in implant-supported rehabilitation."

Despite the importance of stigma among these patients, there are few proven stigma-reduction strategies for HIV-associated malignancies. Using qualitative methods, we explore how people with HIV-associated KS in western Kenya between August 2022 and 2023 describe changes in their stigma experience after participation in a multicomponent navigation strategy, which included 1) physical navigation and care coordination, 2) video-based education with motivational survivor stories, 3) travel stipend, 4) health insurance enrollment assistance, 5) health insurance stipend, and 6) peer mentorship. A purposive sample of persons at different stages of chemotherapy treatment were invited to participate. Participants described how a multicomponent navigation strategy contributed to increased knowledge and awareness, a sense of belonging, hope to survive, encouragement, and social support, which served as stigma mitigators, likely counteracting the major drivers of intersectional stigma in HIV-associated KS."

This fistula is a complication that can occur during chemoradiotherapy for esophageal and lung cancers; however, to our knowledge, no esophagobronchial fistulas during preoperative chemotherapy for lung cancer have been reported. The patient was a 55-year-old man whose chest computed tomography (CT) revealed a mass on the dorsal bronchus and right side of the esophagus. A transesophageal needle biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma, and preoperative chemotherapy, which included pembrolizumab, was administered. One week after the first course of chemotherapy, the patient developed a severe cough after drinking water. Chest CT revealed an esophagobronchial fistula, which prompted the discontinuation of the preoperative chemotherapy. Subsequent conservative treatment resulted in no improvement, and the patient was referred to our department. One month thereafter, a two-stage reconstruction of the esophagus was performed via the posterior sternal route. The resected specimen showed no residual tumor in the lungs, and the treatment was determined to result in a complete pathological response. The patient is currently undergoing maintenance therapy with pembrolizumab as a single agent. This is a rare case of esophagobronchial fistula identified during preoperative chemotherapy that included pembrolizumab for lung cancer. In addition to suturing the fistula, filling it with a distal hyoid valve was effective in treating the esophagobronchial fistula."

It is most often identified by the presence of certain proteins such as the cluster of differentiation (CD) 68, CD163, or lysozyme. HS has been recorded in different sites outside of the lymph nodes such as the gastrointestinal tract, nasal cavities, skin, and bone marrow. Because HS shares similar clinical features with other forms of malignant diseases, diagnosing it becomes incredibly challenging. We report a case of a 40-year-old female who presented with a breast mass for one year. A preliminary diagnosis of a phyllodes tumor was made. However, the morphology along with the immunophenotype picture was diagnostic for HS. Microscopic features showed a well-defined neoplastic growth arranged in sheets and fascicles. Diffuse immunoreactivity was seen for CD45, CD4, CD68, CD163, and vimentin. We present the important histopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics of the tumor in this case."

+4512,skin cancer,38835135,Fustin suppressed melanoma cell growth via cAMP/PKA-dependent mechanism.,"Melanoma, a cancer arising from melanocytes, requires a novel treatment strategy because of the ineffectiveness of conventional therapies in certain patients. Fustin is a flavanonol found in young fustic (Cotinus coggygria). However, little is known about its antimelanoma effects. Our study demonstrates that fustin suppresses the growth of B16 melanoma cells. Phalloidin staining of cytoskeletal actin revealed that fustin induced a conformational change in the actin structure of melanoma cells, accompanied by suppressed phosphorylation of myosin regulatory light chain 2 (MLC2), a regulator of actin structure. Furthermore, the protein kinase A (cAMP-dependent protein kinase) inhibitor H89 completely attenuated fustin-induced downregulation of phosphorylated myosin phosphatase targeting subunit 1, which is involved in dephosphorylation of MLC2. In a mouse model, administration of fustin suppressed tumor growth in B16 melanoma cells without adverse effects. In conclusion, our findings suggest that fustin effectively suppresses melanoma cell growth both in vitro and in vivo."
+4513,skin cancer,38835116,Tumor antigen PRAME is a potential therapeutic target of p53 activation in melanoma cells.,"Upregulation of PRAME (preferentially expressed antigen of melanoma) has been implicated in the progression of a variety of cancers, including melanoma. The tumor suppressor p53 is a transcriptional regulator that mediates cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in response to stress signals. Here, we report that PRAME is a novel repressive target of p53. This was supported by analysis of melanoma cell lines carrying wild-type p53 and human melanoma databases. mRNA expression of PRAME was downregulated by p53 overexpression and activation using DNA-damaging agents, but upregulated by p53 depletion. We identified a p53-responsive element (p53RE) in the promoter region of PRAME. Luciferase and ChIP assays showed that p53 represses the transcriptional activity of the PRAME promoter and is recruited to the p53RE together with HDAC1 upon etoposide treatment. The functional significance of p53 activationmediated PRAME downregulation was demonstrated by measuring colony formation and p27 expression in melanoma cells. These data suggest that p53 activation, which leads to PRAME downregulation, could be a therapeutic strategy in melanoma cells. [BMB Reports 2024; 57(6): 299-304]."

To further evaluate this relationship, a cross-sectional study was conducted on data from five states using the 2018 to 2021 Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, a national state-run health survey. Prevalence of skin cancer history and urban/rural status were evaluated across these social determinants of health: sex, age, race, insurance status, number of personal healthcare providers, and household income. Overall, rural counterparts were significantly more likely to have a positive skin cancer history across most social determinants of health. Rural populations had a higher prevalence of skin cancer history across all races (P&lt;.001). Rural non-Hispanic Whites had greater odds than their urban counterparts (OR=1.40; 95% CI 1.34 - 1.46). The odds were approximately twice as high for rural Black (OR=1.74; 95% CI 1.14 - 2.65), Hispanic (OR=2.31; 95% CI 1.56 - 3.41), and Other Race, non-Hispanic (OR=1.99; 95% CI 1.51 - 2.61), and twenty times higher for Asians (OR=20.46; 95% CI 8.63 - 48.54), although no significant difference was seen for American Indian/Alaskan Native (OR=1.5; 95% CI 0.99 - 2.28). However, when household income exceeded $100,000 no significant difference in prevalence or odds was seen between urban and rural settings. Despite increasing awareness of metropolitan-based health inequity, urban-rural disparities in skin cancer prevalence continue to persist and may be magnified by social determinants such as income and race.

A retrospective survey and systematic review.,"Eyelid melanoma (EM) is a malignant neoplasm accounting for around 1% of eyelid malignancies. Because of its rarity, most of our knowledge of EM is currently based on studies of cutaneous melanomas located elsewhere. Accordingly, this study aimed to specifically evaluate EM characteristics, management strategies, and prognosis. A retrospective study was carried out on patients diagnosed with EM at Careggi University Hospital, Florence between May 2012 and May 2022. In addition, a systematic review of relevant literature was conducted, encompassing studies published from 2013 to 2023. Clinical, histopathological, therapeutical, and prognostic data were analyzed to assess the metastasis rate and the 5-year survival rate of patients with EM. Separate data were extracted for in situ and invasive disease. Our original study included 19 patients diagnosed with EM with a 5-year survival rate of 100% for in situ and 83.3% for invasive EM. The literature review identified five poorly detailed large database reviews and 14 original studies on EM with an overall 5-year survival rate of 79.7%. The present research indicates that EM is a challenging malignancy, but has a relatively better prognosis and easier management than other melanomas of the head and neck region. These are probably related to the anatomical location which leads to early diagnosis. Therefore, EM should be considered as a specific disease requiring dedicated treatment. Based on the personal authors' experience and comprehensive overview of the current knowledge, a dedicated protocol is proposed."

Dermoscopic imaging aids skilled dermatologists in detection, yet the nuances between melanoma and non-melanoma conditions complicate diagnosis. Early identification of melanoma is vital for successful treatment, but manual diagnosis is time-consuming and requires a dermatologist with training. To overcome this issue, this article proposes an Optimized Attention-Induced Multihead Convolutional Neural Network with EfficientNetV2-fostered melanoma classification using dermoscopic images (AIMCNN-ENetV2-MC). The input pictures are extracted from the dermoscopic images dataset. Adaptive Distorted Gaussian Matched Filter (ADGMF) is used to remove the noise and maximize the superiority of skin dermoscopic images. These pre-processed images are fed to AIMCNN. The AIMCNN-ENetV2 classifies acral melanoma and benign nevus. Boosted Chimp Optimization Algorithm (BCOA) optimizes the AIMCNN-ENetV2 classifier for accurate classification. The proposed AIMCNN-ENetV2-MC is implemented using Python. The proposed approach attains an outstanding overall accuracy of 98.75%, less computation time of 98 s compared with the existing models."

It usually presents in elderly people, and clinical manifestations include nodular blue-violet skin lesions, bone marrow infiltration and, less frequently, extramedullary involvement. Gynecological manifestation (breast mass and exocervical lesion) is an unusual and rare presentation. Herein, we report the case of a 51-year-old woman patient who presented with a history of a rapidly growing and bleeding breast mass, along with a decline in general health. Notably, the disease had multifocal involvement, affecting the breast, uterine cervix, and cervical lymphadenopathy. Biopsies were performed on the breast mass and cervical lesion. Histopathological examination showed a diffuse lymphoid proliferation. The neoplastic cells show immunoreactivity for CD45 and CD56. The myelogram showed a 50 % excess of blasts with a heterogeneous appearance with the presence of cells that could suggest dendritic plasmacytoid cells. Bone marrow immunophenotyping showed the presence of blast-like cells that were positive for CD4, CD56, CD123, which supported the diagnosis of BPDCN.

In this investigator-initiated, prospective, randomised and controlled trial, 20 patients with ambulatory FTSG reconstruction for lower limb skin cancers were randomised for postoperative treatment with either NPWT, or conventional dressings. As outcomes, adherence of the skin graft 1 week postoperatively, any wound complications within 3 months, including ≥3 weeks delayed wound healing, and the number of additional postoperative visits were compared. In both groups, grafts adhered equally well (p = 0.47); 80% of NPWT-treated and 100% of control group grafts adhered >90%. There was no significant difference in the number of postoperative complications/delayed wound healing (p = 0.65); 70% of patients in the NPWT and 50% in the control group developed a wound complication. Both groups had an equal number of patients with at least three additional control visits (p = 1.0). The study was discontinued after 20 patients were recruited, as no benefit from NPWT was seen. To conclude, the study showed no benefit from NPWT for lower limb FTSGs."

A recently published article in BMC Cancer, titled ""Merkel cell carcinoma: a forty-year experience at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre"" (Wang et al.), provides a contemporary analysis of locoregional disease outcomes in Australia which highlights the comparative effectiveness of radiotherapy for excisions with involved margins versus wide local excision. There is a persistent lack of clear, well-defined guidelines to manage MCC in Australia despite experiencing the highest rates globally. The advanced age at onset also provides inherent challenges for optimal management and often, a case-by-case approach is necessary based on patient preferences, baseline function and fitness for surgery. This paper responds to the recently published article by Wang et al. and will expand the discourse regarding management of localized MCC. Specifically, we will discuss the surgical excision approaches; alternative treatment options for MCC including radiotherapy, Mohs micrographic surgery and novel immunotherapy agents being investigated through several clinical trials."

This review aims to summarize the evidence on the influence of CRF on overall and site-specific cancer risks. It delves into the biological mechanisms through which CRF may exert its effects, explores the clinical implications of these findings, identifies gaps in the current evidence base, and suggests directions for future research. The synthesis of findings reveals that higher CRF levels (general threshold of > 7 METs) are consistently associated with a reduced risk of a range of cancers, including head and neck, lung, breast, gastrointestinal, particularly pancreatic and colorectal, bladder, overall cancer incidence and mortality, and potentially stomach and liver, bile duct, and gall bladder cancers. These inverse associations between CRF and cancer risk do not generally differ across age groups, sex, race, or adiposity, suggesting a universal protective effect of CRF. Nonetheless, evidence linking CRF with skin, mouth and pharynx, kidney, and endometrial cancers is limited and inconclusive. Conversely, higher CRF levels may be potentially linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer and hematological malignancies, such as leukemia and myeloma, although the evidence is still not conclusive. CRF appears to play a significant role in reducing the risk of several cancers through various biological mechanisms, including inflammation reduction, immune system enhancement, hormonal regulation, and metabolic improvements. Overall, enhancing CRF through regular physical activity offers a vital, accessible strategy for reducing cancer risk and extending the health span. Future research should aim to fill the existing evidence gaps regarding specific cancers and elucidate the detailed dose-response relationships between CRF levels and cancer risk. Studies are also needed to elucidate the causal relationships and mechanistic pathways linking CRF to cancer outcomes."

Although convolution neural networks have become prominent in the field of medical image segmentation, they suffer from certain limitations. In this study, we present a reliable framework for producing performant outcomes for the segmentation of pathological structures of 2D medical images. Our framework consists of a novel deep learning architecture, called deep multi-level attention dilated residual neural network (MADR-Net), designed to improve the performance of medical image segmentation. MADR-Net uses a U-Net encoder/decoder backbone in combination with multi-level residual blocks and atrous pyramid scene parsing pooling. To improve the segmentation results, channel-spatial attention blocks were added in the skip connection to capture both the global and local features and superseded the bottleneck layer with an ASPP block. Furthermore, we introduce a hybrid loss function that has an excellent convergence property and enhances the performance of the medical image segmentation task. We extensively validated the proposed MADR-Net on four typical yet challenging medical image segmentation tasks: (1) Left ventricle, left atrium, and myocardial wall segmentation from Echocardiogram images in the CAMUS dataset, (2) Skin cancer segmentation from dermoscopy images in ISIC 2017 dataset, (3) Electron microscopy in FIB-SEM dataset, and (4) Fluid attenuated inversion recovery abnormality from MR images in LGG segmentation dataset. The proposed algorithm yielded significant results when compared to state-of-the-art architectures such as U-Net, Residual U-Net, and Attention U-Net. The proposed MADR-Net consistently outperformed the classical U-Net by 5.43%, 3.43%, and 3.92% relative improvement in terms of dice coefficient, respectively, for electron microscopy, dermoscopy, and MRI. The experimental results demonstrate superior performance on single and multi-class datasets and that the proposed MADR-Net can be utilized as a baseline for the assessment of cross-dataset and segmentation tasks."
+4547,skin cancer,38830890,Automatized self-supervised learning for skin lesion screening.,"Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, has seen a steady increase in incidence rates worldwide, posing a significant challenge to dermatologists. Early detection is crucial for improving patient survival rates. However, performing total body screening (TBS), i.e., identifying suspicious lesions or ugly ducklings (UDs) by visual inspection, can be challenging and often requires sound expertise in pigmented lesions. To assist users of varying expertise levels, an artificial intelligence (AI) decision support tool was developed. Our solution identifies and characterizes UDs from real-world wide-field patient images. It employs a state-of-the-art object detection algorithm to locate and isolate all skin lesions present in a patient's total body images. These lesions are then sorted based on their level of suspiciousness using a self-supervised AI approach, tailored to the specific context of the patient under examination. A clinical validation study was conducted to evaluate the tool's performance. The results demonstrated an average sensitivity of 95% for the top-10 AI-identified UDs on skin lesions selected by the majority of experts in pigmented skin lesions. The study also found that the tool increased dermatologists' confidence when formulating a diagnosis, and the average majority agreement with the top-10 AI-identified UDs reached 100% when assisted by our tool. With the development of this AI-based decision support tool, we aim to address the shortage of specialists, enable faster consultation times for patients, and demonstrate the impact and usability of AI-assisted screening. Future developments will include expanding the dataset to include histologically confirmed melanoma and validating the tool for additional body regions."

Therefore, to examine the outcomes, incidence, timing, and risk factors of ICI-associated steroid-requiring severe irAEs, we conducted a nationwide, retrospective, cohort study utilizing the Korean Health Insurance and Review Assessment database. We identified 357,010 patients with lung cancer, bladder cancer, or skin melanoma, eligible for ICI reimbursement in Korea between January 2012 to June 2020. Steroid-requiring severe irAEs following ICI treatment or treatment-emergent AEs following cytotoxic chemotherapy were defined as moderate- or high-dose steroid administration for over 2 consecutive days, along with corresponding ICD-10 codes indicating affected organ systems. The ICI-exposed group (N = 10,118) was compared to a matched cohort of 55,436 ICI-unexposed patients treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy. Incidences of acute severe irAEs requiring moderate- and high-dose steroids were higher in the ICI-exposed group (1.95% and 6.42%, respectively). The ICI-exposed group also had a higher risk of developing delayed severe irAEs requiring moderate- and high-dose steroid use (3.89% and 7.39%). Male sex, high comorbidity index, or previously diagnosed autoimmune diseases were associated with an increased risk of severe irAEs. Notably, 27.4-38.8% of the patients experienced recurrent severe irAEs after re-challenge with ICIs following moderate- or high-dose steroid use, with the severity matching the initial episode. Steroid-requiring severe irAEs were significantly more prevalent among patients exposed to ICIs than among those treated with chemotherapy in acute and delayed periods."

The syndrome can have widely variable presentations and is associated with recurrent pneumothorax, cystic lung disease, characteristic skin lesions, and renal tumors. Lung cysts have been described in over 80% of cases, and roughly 24 to 38% of patients have at least one pneumothorax and over 75% have multiple pneumothoraces. One of the defining features of this condition is fibrofolliculomas, which are benign tumors of the hair follicle. Given its rarity, the diagnosis is often missed and/or delayed for many years. This delay has clinical implications as screening for renal cancer is recommended in both the patient and affected family members. Increased recognition of this syndrome can lead to more patients receiving definitive treatment for their first pneumothorax, and being screened for renal cancers. We present a rare case of Birt-Hogg-Dubé with a never before described mutation in the FLCN gene, leading to spontaneous pneumothorax in an active duty male soldier."

Even with electron beams utilizing the high dose rate total skin electron (HDTSe) mode from the Varian 23iX or TrueBeam accelerators, the dose rate is only 2500 cGy/min at source-to-surface distance (SSD) = 100 cm. At extended distances, the decrease in dose rate leads to long beam delivery times that can limit or even prevent the use of the treatment for patients who, in their weakened condition, may be unable to stand on their own for extended periods of time. Previously, to increase dose rate, a customized 6 MeV electron beam was created by removing the x-ray target, flattening filter, beam monitor chamber, and so forth. from the beam path (Chen, et at IJROBP 59, 2004) for TSET. Using this scattering-foil free (SFF) electron beam requires the treatment distance be extended to 700 cm to achieve dose uniformity from the single beam.

Studies have uncovered peripheral natural killer (NK) cells as key antimetastatic effectors and their dysregulation during metastasis. However, the molecular mechanism governing NK cell dysfunction links to metastasis remains elusive. Herein, MAP4K1 encoding HPK1 is aberrantly overexpressed in dysfunctional NK cells in the periphery and the metastatic site. Conditional HPK1 overexpression in NK cells suffices to exacerbate melanoma lung metastasis but not primary tumor growth. Conversely, MAP4K1-deficient mice are resistant to metastasis and further protected by combined immune-checkpoint inhibitors. Mechanistically, HPK1 restrains NK cell cytotoxicity and expansion via activating receptors. Likewise, HPK1 limits human NK cell activation and associates with melanoma NK cell dysfunction couples to TGF-β1 and patient response to immune checkpoint therapy. Thus, HPK1 is an intracellular checkpoint controlling NK-target cell responses, which is dysregulated and hijacked by tumors during metastatic progression."

In this paper, we enhanced the VGG19 pre-trained model with max pooling and dense layer for the prediction of skin cancer. Moreover, we also explored the pre-trained models such as Visual Geometry Group 19 (VGG19), Residual Network 152 version 2 (ResNet152v2), Inception-Residual Network version 2 (InceptionResNetV2), Dense Convolutional Network 201 (DenseNet201), Residual Network 50 (ResNet50), Inception version 3 (InceptionV3), For training, skin lesions dataset is used with malignant and benign cases. The models extract features and divide skin lesions into two categories: malignant and benign. The features are then fed into machine learning methods, including Linear Support Vector Machine (SVM), k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Decision Tree (DT), Logistic Regression (LR) and Support Vector Machine (SVM), our results demonstrate that combining E-VGG19 model with traditional classifiers significantly improves the overall classification accuracy for skin cancer detection and classification. Moreover, we have also compared the performance of baseline classifiers and pre-trained models with metrics (recall, F1 score, precision, sensitivity, and accuracy). The experiment results provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of various models and classifiers for accurate and efficient skin cancer detection.

Based on the DNA damage theory of aging, we reasoned that genomic instability may underlie an SVD caused by dominant C-terminal variants in TREX1, the most abundant 3'-5' DNA exonuclease in mammals. C-terminal TREX1 variants cause an adult-onset SVD known as retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukoencephalopathy (RVCL or RVCL-S). In RVCL, an aberrant, C-terminally truncated TREX1 mislocalizes to the nucleus due to deletion of its ER-anchoring domain. Since RVCL pathology mimics that of radiation injury, we reasoned that nuclear TREX1 would cause DNA damage. Here, we show that RVCL-associated TREX1 variants trigger DNA damage in humans, mice, and Drosophila, and that cells expressing RVCL mutant TREX1 are more vulnerable to DNA damage induced by chemotherapy and cytokines that up-regulate TREX1, leading to depletion of TREX1-high cells in RVCL mice. RVCL-associated TREX1 mutants inhibit homology-directed repair (HDR), causing DNA deletions and vulnerablility to PARP inhibitors. In women with RVCL, we observe early-onset breast cancer, similar to patients with BRCA1/2 variants. Our results provide a mechanistic basis linking aberrant TREX1 activity to the DNA damage theory of aging, premature senescence, and microvascular disease."

Sunscreens were originally developed to protect against erythema and consequently against UVB. Even today, most sunscreens on the market provide much higher UVB than UVA protection. By looking at the transmission profile of 3 different sunscreens on the market and making a theoretical calculation, we show that users in the past and even today are being exposed to a huge amount of UVA in a silent way. This is what we define as silent UVA. There is a need to develop a new generation of sunscreens with higher UVA protection to reduce Silent UVA exposure."

WHICH PATIENTS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR COVERAGE? Opdivo should only be covered to treat patients who have stage IIB or IIC melanoma and have not received prior treatment beyond surgery. WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS FOR REIMBURSEMENT? Opdivo should only be reimbursed if prescribed in an outpatient oncology clinic and supervised and/or delivered in institutions with expertise in delivery of immunotherapy and if the cost of Opdivo is not more than the least costly adjuvant therapy currently funded for this population. WHY DID WE MAKE THIS RECOMMENDATION? Evidence from a clinical trial demonstrated that adjuvant therapy with Opdivo resulted in added clinical benefit in adult patients with stage IIB or IIC melanoma. More patients treated with Opdivo did not have their melanoma return compared to patients that received placebo. Patients identified a need for treatments that reduce the risk of their melanoma returning and are not associated with unmanageable side effects. Based on 1 clinical trial, Opdivo may address these needs. Based on our assessment of the health economic evidence, Opdivo may represent good value to the health care system at public list prices. The committee determined that there is not enough evidence to justify a greater cost for Opdivo compared with Keytruda, and so the cost of Opdivo should not be greater than the cost of Keytruda. Based on public list prices, Opdivo is estimated to lead to cost savings for public drug plans of approximately $2,284,851 million over the next 3 years. However, the actual budget impact is uncertain."

WHICH PATIENTS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR COVERAGE? Elrexfio should only be covered to treat patients aged 18 years and older with relapsed or refractory MM who have received at least 3 prior treatments, have disease that has not responded to their last treatment, have not received prior B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)–targeted treatment, and are in relatively good health. Elrexfio should not be reimbursed for the treatment of those patients whose MM is affecting their brain or spinal cord or those showing signs that the tissue layers protecting the brain and spinal cord are affected by MM. It also should not be reimbursed for the treatment of those with amyloidosis (a buildup of a protein, amyloid, in organs) that is not secondary to MM, those with POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, myeloma protein, and skin changes) syndrome, and those with plasma cell leukemia. WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS FOR REIMBURSEMENT? Elrexfio should only be reimbursed if it is prescribed and administered by health professionals at treatment centres with adequate medical resources and personnel, and if the price of Elrexfio is reduced. WHY DID CADTH MAKE THIS RECOMMENDATION? Evidence from a clinical trial demonstrated that Elrexfio may result in response to treatment, delay in the spread of cancer, and allow patients to live longer. Elrexfio may meet some patient needs because it may be an effective treatment option with manageable side effects. Based on CADTH’s assessment of the health economic evidence, Elrexfio does not represent good value to the health care system at the public list price. A price reduction is therefore required. Based on public list prices, Elrexfio is estimated to cost the public drug plans approximately $87 million over the next 3 years. However, the actual budget impact is uncertain."

A 62-year-old female patient diagnosed with MF had a previous record of red patches and small raised bumps on the face, along with a cancerous growth in the cervical and vulvar region. The patient was initially treated with methotrexate and local radiotherapy without resolution. Chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone was then started (CHOP protocol). The dental team of a reference hospital was consulted to evaluate swelling in the anterior region of the palate, which had been developing for two months, reporting discomfort when eating. The role of the dentistry team was fundamental in the differential diagnosis of oral lesions with dental infections, second neoplasia, or even a new site of disease manifestation, in addition to controlling mucosal changes resulting from chemotherapy. After ruling out dental infection, the dentistry team performed a lesion biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. The histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis showed atypical lymphoid infiltration of T cells (CD3+/CD4+/CD7-/CD8-), coexpression of CD25, and presence of CD30 cells, corresponding to the finding for MF. Identifying CD30 + allowed for a new chemotherapy protocol with brentuximab vedotin (BV) combined with gemcitabine. This protocol effectively controlled MF, which previous protocols had failed to do. The diagnosis by the dental team was essential for therapeutic change and improvement of the patient's clinical condition without the need for invasive medical procedures."

This cross-sectional study assessed the attitudes among toward genetic testing, family planning, and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) in confirmed CDKN2A PV carriers and individuals with a 50% risk of the PV (at-risk carriers) using of a one-time questionnaire.A total of 537 individuals were screened for eligibility, of whom 208 of 366 (57%) confirmed carriers (56% female, median age 54 years [IQR 46-63]) and 39 of 171 (23%) at-risk carriers (59% female, median age of 26 years [IQR 22-32]) participated in the study. Primary motivations for genetic testing were to gain control over their personal and children's cancer risk, as well as increasing cancer surveillance practices. In contrast, concerns about obtaining a mortgage and life insurance were frequently cited as reasons for postponing genetic testing. Family planning decisions remained largely unaffected in both confirmed and at-risk carriers; however, the majority of confirmed carriers were still unaware of their familial or personal cancer risk when starting a family. More than 60% of the participants were unfamiliar with PGT and only a minority (19% of confirmed carriers and 10% of at-risk carriers) would be open to considering PGT as a reproductive option. This study found different attitudes toward genetic testing, family planning, and PGT among individuals affected by the CDKN2A PV. Understanding these different attitudes can help clinicians to address the complexities surrounding these issues, especially for younger individuals facing difficult decisions about the timing of genetic testing, family planning, and the potential use of assisted reproductive options."

In vitro studies suggest that selinexor (KPT-330), an inhibitor of exportin 1, may be a targeted therapeutic option for MCC. This selective inhibitor prevents the transport of oncogenic mRNA out of the nucleus. Of note, 80% of MCC tumors are integrated with Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), and virally encoded tumor-antigens, small T (sT) and large T (LT) mRNAs may require an exportin transporter to relocate to the cytoplasm and modulate host tumor-suppressing pathways. To explore selinexor as a targeted therapy for MCC, we examine its ability to inhibit LT and sT antigen expression in vitro and its impact on the prostaglandin synthesis pathway. Protein expression was determined through immunoblotting and quantified by densitometric analysis. Statistical significance was determined with t-test. Treatment of MCPyV-infected cell lines with selinexor resulted in a significant dose-dependent downregulation of key mediators of the prostaglandin synthesis pathway. Given the role of prostaglandin synthesis pathway in MCC, our findings suggest that selinexor, alone or in combination with immunotherapy, could be a promising treatment for MCPyV-infected MCC patients who are resistant to chemotherapy and immunotherapy."
+4604,skin cancer,38822894,Mohs micrographic surgery challenges and new technologies to optimize care of cutaneous malignancies of the ear.,"Cutaneous malignancies affecting the ear, exacerbated by extensive ultraviolet (UV) exposure, pose intricate challenges owing to the organ's complex anatomy. This article investigates how the anatomy contributes to late-stage diagnoses and ensuing complexities in surgical interventions. Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS), acknowledged as the gold standard for treating most cutaneous malignancies of the ear, ensures superior margin control and cure rates. However, the ear's intricacy necessitates careful consideration of tissue availability and aesthetic outcomes. The manuscript explores new technologies like Reflectance Confocal Microscopy (RCM), Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), High-Frequency, High-Resolution Ultrasound (HFHRUS), and Raman spectroscopy (RS). These technologies hold the promise of enhancing diagnostic accuracy and providing real-time visualization of excised tissue, thereby improving tumor margin assessments. Dermoscopy continues to be a valuable non-invasive tool for identifying malignant lesions. Staining methods in Mohs surgery are discussed, emphasizing hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) as the gold standard for evaluating tumor margins. Toluidine blue is explored for potential applications in assessing basal cell carcinomas (BCC), and immunohistochemical staining is considered for detecting proteins associated with specific malignancies. As MMS and imaging technologies advance, a thorough evaluation of their practicality, cost-effectiveness, and benefits becomes essential for enhancing surgical outcomes and patient care. The potential synergy of artificial intelligence with these innovations holds promise in revolutionizing tumor detection and improving the efficacy of cutaneous malignancy treatments."

Although the home and community are the largest care settings worldwide, most of the evidence on dermatological care relates to secondary and tertiary care. The overall aims were to map the available evidence regarding the epidemiology and burden of the most frequent skin conditions and regarding effects of screening, risk assessment, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of the most frequent skin conditions in older people living in the community. A scoping review was conducted. MEDLINE, Embase and Epistemonikos were systematically searched for clinical practice guidelines, reviews and primary studies, as well as Grey Matters and EASY for grey literature published between January 2010 and March 2023. Records were screened and data of included studies extracted by two reviewers, independently. Results were summarised descriptively. In total, 97 publications were included. The vast majority described prevalence or incidence estimates. Ranges of age groups varied widely and unclear reporting was frequent. Sun-exposure and age-related skin conditions such as actinic keratoses, xerosis cutis, neoplasms and inflammatory diseases were the most frequent dermatoses identified, although melanoma and/or non-melanoma skin cancer were the skin conditions investigated most frequently. Evidence regarding the burden of skin conditions included self-reported skin symptoms and concerns, mortality, burden on the health system, and impact on quality of life. A minority of articles reported effects of screening, risk assessment, diagnosis, prevention and treatment, mainly regarding skin cancer. A high number of skin conditions and diseases affect older people living at home and in the community but evidence about the burden and effective prevention and treatment strategies is weak. Best practices of how to improve dermatological care in older people remain to be determined and there is a particular need for interventional studies to support and to improve skin health at home."

+4612,skin cancer,38822068,Pulsed electric field induces exocytosis and overexpression of MAGE antigens in melanoma.,"Nanosecond pulsed electric field (nsPEF) has emerged as a promising approach for inducing cell death in melanoma, either as a standalone treatment or in combination with chemotherapeutics. However, to date, there has been a shortage of studies exploring the impact of nsPEF on the expression of cancer-specific molecules. In this investigation, we sought to assess the effects of nsPEF on melanoma-specific MAGE (Melanoma Antigen Gene Protein Family) expression. To achieve this, melanoma cells were exposed to nsPEF with parameters set at 8 kV/cm, 200 ns duration, 100 pulses, and a frequency of 10 kHz. We also aimed to comprehensively describe the consequences of this electric field on melanoma cells' invasion and proliferation potential. Our findings reveal that following exposure to nsPEF, melanoma cells release microvesicles containing MAGE antigens, leading to a simultaneous increase in the expression and mRNA content of membrane-associated antigens such as MAGE-A1. Notably, we observed an unexpected increase in the expression of PD-1 as well. While we did not observe significant differences in the cells' proliferation or invasion potential, a remarkable alteration in the cells' metabolomic and lipidomic profiles towards a less aggressive phenotype was evident. Furthermore, we validated these results using ex vivo tissue cultures and 3D melanoma culture models. Our study demonstrates that nsPEF can elevate the expression of membrane-associated proteins, including melanoma-specific antigens. The mechanism underlying the overexpression of MAGE antigens involves the initial release of microvesicles containing MAGE antigens, followed by a gradual increase in mRNA levels, ultimately resulting in elevated expression of MAGE antigens post-experiment. These findings shed light on a novel method for modulating cancer cells to overexpress cancer-specific molecules, thereby potentially enhancing their sensitivity to targeted anticancer therapy."

Diagnosing the entity can be challenging and therapeutic options are limited. We analyzed 20 samples of normal healthy skin tissue (SNT), 27 malignant melanomas (MM), 20 cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC), and 24 pleomorphic dermal sarcomas (PDS) using mass spectrometry. We explored a potential cell of origin in PDS and validated our findings using publicly available single-cell sequencing data. By correlating tumor purity (TP), inferred by both RNA- and DNA-sequencing, to protein abundance, we found that fibroblasts shared most of the proteins correlating to TP. This observation could also be made using publicly available SNT single cell sequencing data. Moreover, we studied relevant pathways of receptor/ligand (R/L) interactions. Analysis of R/L interactions revealed distinct pathways in cSCC, MM and PDS, with a prominent role of PDGFRB-PDGFD R/L interactions and upregulation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. By studying differentially expressed proteins between cSCC and PDS, markers such as MAP1B could differentiate between these two entities. To this end, we studied proteins associated with immunosuppression in PDS, uncovering that immunologically cold PDS cases shared a ""negative regulation of interferon-gamma signaling"" according to overrepresentation analysis."

A subset of IgG autoantibodies in canine PF target desmocollin-1 (DSC1), a component of intercellular adhesion complexes within the epidermis. Passive transfer of IgG autoantibodies from canine PF sera to mice was previously shown to induce skin disease in the absence of infiltrating neutrophils. In attempts to identify a mechanism responsible for neutrophil recruitment, past studies evaluated the prevalence of IgA autoantibodies in canine PF sera where they were found in <20% of affected dogs. We re-evaluated the prevalence of anti-DSC1 IgA in canine PF due to concerns regarding the sensitivity of previously used methods. We hypothesized that anti-DSC1 IgA are present in most dogs with PF but have been under-detected due to competition with concurrent anti-DSC1 IgG for binding to their mutual antigenic target. Despite removing approximately 80% of IgG from patient sera using affinity chromatography, we did not detect an increase in anti-DSC1 IgA by performing indirect immunofluorescence on canine DSC1-transfected HEK293T cells.

Furthermore, the prognosis for individuals afflicted with advancing stages of skin cancer experiences a substantial decline in survival rates. This paper is dedicated to aiding healthcare experts in distinguishing between benign and malignant skin cancer cases by employing a range of machine learning and deep learning techniques and different feature extractors and feature selectors to enhance the evaluation metrics. In this paper, different transfer learning models are employed as feature extractors, and to enhance the evaluation metrics, a feature selection layer is designed, which includes diverse techniques such as Univariate, Mutual Information, ANOVA, PCA, XGB, Lasso, Random Forest, and Variance. Among transfer models, DenseNet-201 was selected as the primary feature extractor to identify features from data. Subsequently, the Lasso method was applied for feature selection, utilizing diverse machine learning approaches such as MLP, XGB, RF, and NB.

+4627,skin cancer,38820337,Multimodal MALDI imaging mass spectrometry for improved diagnosis of melanoma.,"Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) provides promising avenues to augment histopathological investigation with rich spatio-molecular information. We have previously developed a classification model to differentiate melanoma from nevi lesions based on IMS protein data, a task that is challenging solely by histopathologic evaluation. Most IMS-focused studies collect microscopy in tandem with IMS data, but this microscopy data is generally omitted in downstream data analysis. Microscopy, nevertheless, forms the basis for traditional histopathology and thus contains invaluable morphological information. In this work, we developed a multimodal classification pipeline that uses deep learning, in the form of a pre-trained artificial neural network, to extract the meaningful morphological features from histopathological images, and combine it with the IMS data. To test whether this deep learning-based classification strategy can improve on our previous results in classification of melanocytic neoplasia, we utilized MALDI IMS data with collected serial H&E stained sections for 331 patients, and compared this multimodal classification pipeline to classifiers using either exclusively microscopy or IMS data. The multimodal pipeline achieved the best performance, with ROC-AUCs of 0.968 vs. 0.938 vs. 0.931 for the multimodal, unimodal microscopy and unimodal IMS pipelines respectively. Due to the use of a pre-trained network to perform the morphological feature extraction, this pipeline does not require any training on large amounts of microscopy data. As such, this framework can be readily applied to improve classification performance in other experimental settings where microscopy data is acquired in tandem with IMS experiments."

The results show spectral markers I1540/I1473, I1652/I1473, [Formula: see text], and multifractal dimension of the spectral images are significantly different for the cells based on their metastatic levels. ROC curve analysis showed good diagnostic performance of the spectral markers in separating cells based on metastatic degree, with areas under the ROC curves having 95% confidence interval lower limits greater than 0.5 for most instances. These spectral features can be important in predicting the probability of metastasis in primary tumors, providing useful guidance for treatment planning. Our markers are effective in differentiating metastatic levels without sample fixation or drying and therefore could be compactible for future use in in-vivo procedures involving spectroscopic cancer diagnosis."

A search of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was conducted for patients with a diagnosis of MF with a specified primary site from 2000 to 2019. Prognostic factors including demographic and tumor characteristics were examined using Cox regression models. Further research is needed to fully investigate primary disease site as a prognostic indicator, including a deeper dive into MF of all stages and subtypes."

Using Mendelian Randomization analysis, we examined the genetic agents of nine lipid-lowering drugs and their association with melanoma risk. We found that genetically proxied inhibition of HMGCR, ABCG5/ABCG8, and ANGPTL3 was associated with a reduced risk of melanoma. On the other hand, inhibition of LPL and Apo-B100 was significantly associated with an increased risk of melanoma. Sensitivity analyses did not reveal any statistical evidence of bias from pleiotropy or genetic confounding. We did not find a robust association between lipid traits NPC1L1, PCSK9, APOC3 inhibition, and melanoma risk. These findings were validated using two independent lipid datasets. Our analysis also revealed that HMGCR, ANGPTL3, and ABCG5/ABCG8 inhibitors reduced melanoma risk independent of their effects on lipids. This suggests that these targets may have potential for melanoma prevention or treatment. In conclusion, our study provides evidence for a causal role of lipids in melanoma risk and highlights specific lipid-lowering drug targets that may be effective in reducing the risk of melanoma. These findings contribute to the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of melanoma development and provide potential avenues for further research and therapeutic interventions."
+4635,skin cancer,38819590,Decitabine suppresses MDSC-induced immunosuppression through dual functional mechanism and inhibits melanoma metastasis.,"Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) play a crucial role in promoting melanoma metastasis. Reprogramming MDSCs into mature M1 macrophages has emerged as a strategy to inhibit metastasis. Decitabine (Dec) is known to eradicate MDSCs and suppress tumor growth. In this study, we provide evidence that Dec not only reduces the MDSC population by inducing apoptosis, arresting cell cycle, and impairing recruitment, but also suppresses their immunosuppressive function by downregulating related genes and facilitating differentiation into M1 macrophages. Transcriptomic analysis of Dec-treated MDSCs revealed a marked downregulation of immunosuppressive genes including S100a9, S100a8, Vegf, Cxcr2, and Nos2. Meanwhile, M1 macrophage-associated genes involved in immune activation were upregulated, such as Ddx58, Isg15, Tap1, Ccl5, Cxcl9, and Cxcl10. Further bioinformatic analysis indicated that Dec promotes MDSC-to-M1 macrophage differentiation and activates innate immune pathways including NOD-like signaling to enhance anti-tumor immunity. Time-course studies implied that Dec upregulates myeloid transcription factor Irf7 to initiate MDSC differentiation and orchestrate the anti-tumor immune response. Collectively, our study unveils a novel dual-functional mechanism of Dec as both a cytotoxic agent reducing MDSCs and an inducer of their differentiation into M1 macrophages, thereby alleviating immunosuppression. This highlights Dec's potential for clinical melanoma metastasis suppression."
+4636,skin cancer,38819581,Voriconazole metabolism is associated with the number of skin cancers per patient.,"Voriconazole exposure is associated with skin cancer, but it is unknown how the full spectrum of its metabolizer phenotypes impacts this association. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to determine how variation in metabolism of voriconazole as measured by metabolizer status of CYP2C19 is associated with the total number of skin cancers a patient develops and the rate of development of the first skin cancer after treatment. There were 1,739 organ transplant recipients with data on CYP2C19 phenotype. Of these, 134 were exposed to voriconazole. There was a significant difference in the number of skin cancers after transplant based on exposure to voriconazole, metabolizer phenotype, and the interaction of these two (p < 0.01 for all three). This increase was driven primarily by number of squamous cell carcinomas among rapid metabolizes with voriconazole exposure (p < 0.01 for both). Patients exposed to voriconazole developed skin cancers more rapidly than those without exposure (Fine-Grey hazard ratio 1.78, 95% confidence interval 1.19-2.66). This association was similarly driven by development of SCC (Fine-Grey hazard ratio 1.83, 95% confidence interval 1.14-2.94). Differences in voriconazoles metabolism are associated with an increase in the number of skin cancers developed after transplant, particularly SCC."

+4639,skin cancer,38819446,MiR-34a-5p suppresses cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma progression by targeting SIRT6.,"Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a malignant tumor originating from epidermal or appendageal keratinocytes, with a rising incidence in recent years. Understanding the molecular mechanism driving its development is crucial. This study aims to investigate whether miR-34a-5p is involved in the pathogenesis of cSCC by targeting Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6).The expression levels of miR-34a-5p and SIRT6 were determined in 15 cSCC tissue specimens, 15 normal tissue specimens and cultured cells via real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Pearson's correlation analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationship between miR-34a-5p and SIRT6 expression levels in cSCC tissues. A431 and SCL-1 cells were transfected with miR-34a-5p mimic, negative control or miR-34a-5p mimic together with recombinant plasmids containing SIRT6 gene. Cell counting kit-8, clone formation assay, wound healing assay, and flow cytometry were employed to assess the effects of these transfections on proliferation, migration, and apoptosis, respectively. The interaction between miR-34a-5p and SIRT6 was characterized using a dual-luciferase reporter assay.MiR-34a-5p expression was down-regulated in cSCC tissues significantly, while the SIRT6 expression was the opposite. A negative correlation was observed between the expression of miR-34a-5p and SIRT6 in cSCC tissues. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-34a-5p led to a significant reduction in the proliferation and migration abilities of A431 and SCL-1 cells, accompanied by an increase in apoptosis levels and a decrease in SIRT6 expression levels. MiR-34a-5p was identified as a direct target of SIRT6. Importantly, overexpression of SIRT6 effectively counteracted the inhibitory effect mediated by miR-34a-5p in cSCC cells.Our findings suggest that miR-34a-5p functions as a tumor suppressor in cSCC cells by targeting SIRT6."

We have experienced a case of breast clear cell hidradenoma with mastermind like transcriptional coactivator 2 (MAML2) gene rearrangement. The patient found a painless mass with a hard texture in the left breast areola without nipple discharge. Microscopically, the tumor was cystic and solid, locally arranged in a glandular structure, covered by single cuboidal cells; it was composed of clear cells, epidermoid cells, and basaloid cells; there were no necrosis or mitotic figures. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the tumor cells positively expressed low-molecular cytokeratin 7, low-molecular cytokeratins (Cam5.2), high-molecular cytokeratin 5/6, cytokeratin 14, CD117, and p63; and did not express calponin, and smooth muscle myosin heavy chain. The cuboidal cells were positive for SOX10 but negative for p63. Additionally, periodic acid-Schiff reaction showed purple-red granules in the tumor cytoplasm, but Alcian blue staining showed no blue mucus in the cytoplasm. The split signals of MAML2 gene were detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Subtle histological and immunophenotypical differences may help to distinguish breast clear cell hidradenoma from common breast tumors. Furthermore, the MAML2 gene rearrangement may be a molecular genetic characteristic of breast clear cell hidradenoma."

A shave biopsy of different regions of depigmented skin indicated vitiligo. The patient was prescribed Opzelura (ruxolitinib) 1.5% topical cream as well as tacrolimus 0.1% topical ointment for vitiligo. He also had a history of prostate cancer. A prostate biopsy revealed three sites of prostatic adenocarcinoma with a Gleason score of 6 and a Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) score of 2. The patient remained in active surveillance for prostate cancer without treatment, due to its low severity. A subsequent biopsy five years later revealed a decrease in prostate cancer prevalence, with cancer present in only one core and at a lower severity. The purpose of this case presentation is to discuss possible links between vitiligo and prostate cancer, as well as their shared mechanisms and pathways."
+4645,skin cancer,38817238,Management of lymphedema is really a matter in patients with breast cancer.,"Lymphedema is a prevalent complication affecting patients with breast cancer, greatly impacting their quality of life. This editorial describes diagnostic methods and therapeutic interventions for managing lymphedema in patients with breast cancer. Diagnosis relies on clinical evaluation and objective measures, including arm circumference and volumetric assessments, along with lymphoscintigraphy and ultrasonic measurements. Treatment primarily involves complex decongestive physical therapy, comprising manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy, exercise, and meticulous skin care. These interventions aim to reduce swelling, alleviate discomfort, and prevent further complications. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as avoiding extreme temperatures and maintaining proper hygiene are essential. Flavonoids can be used for drug therapy. Despite its prevalence, lymphedema often receives inadequate attention in clinical practice, emphasizing the importance of raising awareness and enhancing medical services for affected individuals. Clinicians play a pivotal role in educating patients about preventive measures and ensuring timely intervention. Overall, a comprehensive approach encompassing early diagnosis, multidisciplinary management, and patient education is essential to mitigate the burden of lymphedema in patients with breast cancer and improve their overall well-being."

+4647,skin cancer,38816958,Paraproteinemic neuropathies.,"The diagnostic evaluation of a peripheral neuropathy includes testing for the presence of monoclonal gammopathy, which can be found in about 10% of patients with peripheral neuropathy. Our role, as physicians, is to determine whether the neuropathy is directly related to the gammopathy or whether the co-occurrence of these two disorders is purely coincidental. The evaluating physician needs to be familiar with the different types of neuropathies associated with monoclonal gammopathies, their clinical and electrodiagnostic characteristics, and their appropriate diagnostic evaluation and management. Testing for monoclonal protein disorders includes serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) and immunofixation of blood, and in some cases of urine, as well as measurement of free light chains and quantitative immunoglobulins. Specific antibody testing is directed by paraprotein type and neuropathy phenotype. Patients with abnormal free light chains in association with sensory and autonomic neuropathy should be evaluated for AL amyloidosis. When a lambda monoclonal protein is identified together with a clinical phenotype of chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy (CIDP), a diagnosis of polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal plasma cell disorder, skin changes (POEMS) syndrome should be considered. Patients with IgM paraprotein associated neuropathy should be assessed for distal acquired demyelinating sensorimotor (DADS) neuropathy, with or without anti myelin associated glycoprotein (MAG) antibody or CANOMAD syndrome. In many cases, a monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance (MGUS) is incidental and unrelated to the neuropathy.

+4649,skin cancer,38816352,Statin prevents cancer development in chronic inflammation by blocking interleukin 33 expression.,"Chronic inflammation is a major cause of cancer worldwide. Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is a critical initiator of cancer-prone chronic inflammation; however, its induction mechanism by environmental causes of chronic inflammation is unknown. Herein, we demonstrate that Toll-like receptor (TLR)3/4-TBK1-IRF3 pathway activation links environmental insults to IL-33 induction in the skin and pancreas inflammation. An FDA-approved drug library screen identifies pitavastatin to effectively suppress IL-33 expression by blocking TBK1 membrane recruitment/activation through the mevalonate pathway inhibition. Accordingly, pitavastatin prevents chronic pancreatitis and its cancer sequela in an IL-33-dependent manner. The IRF3-IL-33 axis is highly active in chronic pancreatitis and its associated pancreatic cancer in humans. Interestingly, pitavastatin use correlates with a significantly reduced risk of chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer in patients. Our findings demonstrate that blocking the TBK1-IRF3-IL-33 signaling axis suppresses cancer-prone chronic inflammation. Statins present a safe and effective prophylactic strategy to prevent chronic inflammation and its cancer sequela."

Late-stage diagnoses are common due to the absence of specific symptoms. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) accounts for the majority of PC cases. Recent research has suggested a potential link between elevated serum levels of bile acids (BAs) and tumorigenesis of PDAC. This study aims to understand how taurochenodeoxycholic acid (TCDCA), a secondary BA, influences PDAC using RNA sequencing techniques on the Capan-1 cell line. We identified 2,950 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) following TCDCA treatment, with 1,597 upregulated and 1,353 downregulated genes. These DEGs were associated with critical PDAC pathways, including coagulation, angiogenesis, cell migration, and signaling regulation. Furthermore, we reviewed relevant literature highlighting genes like DKK-1, KRT80, UPLA, and SerpinB2, known for their roles in PDAC tumorigenesis and metastasis. Our study sheds light on the complex relationship between BAs and PDAC, offering insights into potential diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets. Further research is needed to unravel these findings' precise mechanisms and clinical implications, potentially improving PDAC diagnosis and treatment."

We created gene expression networks from hundreds of mouse tissue samples (both normal and tumor) and integrated these with lineage tracing and single-cell RNA-seq, to identify convergence of cell states in premalignant tumor cells expressing markers of lineage plasticity and drug resistance. Two of these cell states representing multilineage plasticity or proliferation were inversely correlated, suggesting a mutually exclusive relationship. Treatment of carcinomas in vivo with chemotherapy repressed the proliferative state and activated multilineage plasticity whereas inhibition of differentiation repressed plasticity and potentiated responses to cell cycle inhibitors. Manipulation of this cell state transition point may provide a source of potential combinatorial targets for cancer therapy."
+4657,skin cancer,38814728,Relationships between survival and real-world recurrence-free survival or distant metastasis-free survival among patients with completely resected stage IIB or IIC melanoma.,"Long follow-up time is needed for overall survival (OS) data to mature for early-stage melanoma. This retrospective study aimed to describe the relationships between OS and two intermediate endpoints - real-world recurrence-free survival (rwRFS) and real-world distant metastasis-free survival (rwDMFS) - for patients with stage IIB or IIC melanoma that was completely resected from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2017, with follow-up to 31 December 2020. We used three different approaches to describe the relationships: estimates of correlation using Kendall τ rank correlation; comparisons of all-cause survival with/without recurrence or distant metastasis using adjusted Cox proportional hazard models; and landmark analyses of all-cause survival stratified by recurrence status at 1-5 years. During a 39-month median follow-up from surgical resection, 223/567 patients (39%) experienced recurrence, among whom 171/567 patients (30%) developed distant metastasis. Median OS from surgical resection was 117.6 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 104.7-not reached], median rwRFS was 49.8 months (95% CI, 39.6-61.0), and median rwDMFS was 70.9 months (95% CI, 58.4-89.1). We observed strong correlations between rwRFS and OS, and between rwDMFS and OS (Kendall τ of 0.73 and 0.82, respectively). Risk of death was significantly greater after recurrence (all-cause survival adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 7.48; 95% CI, 4.55-12.29) or distant metastasis (adjusted HR, 11.00; 95% CI, 6.92-17.49). Risk of death remained significantly elevated with recurrence or distant metastasis by landmark years 1, 3, and 5 after surgical resection. These findings support the use of recurrence/rwRFS and distant metastasis/rwDMFS as surrogate endpoints for OS after complete resection of stage IIB or IIC melanoma."

To investigate recent changes in the incidence and characteristics of tumours, a retrospective 15-year patient cohort study was performed in Finland. Histopathological diagnoses of cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas diagnosed between 2016 and 2020 were obtained from the pathology database and clinical data from patient medical records and combined with previously collected data for the years 2006-2015. Altogether 1,472 patients with 2,056 tumours were identified. The crude incidence increased from 19/100,000 persons in 2006 to 42 in 2020 (p < 0.001), increasing most in people aged over 80 years. The percentage of tumours located on the trunk increased from 5.3% during the first 5-year period, 2006-2010, to 9.0% in 2016-2020. Also, the location of tumours was significantly different between men and women, as men had more tumours on the scalp and ears, and women on the lower limbs. A slight change in the tumours from poorly to well differentiated and a decrease in the invasion depth were noted between 2006 and 2020. As the burden of tumours continues to increase, more attention should be paid to their prevention."

Extranodal involvement can occur; however, only 10% of extranodal RDD involve the skin. We present a unique case of a 66-year-old woman with cutaneous RDD followed by the development of multiple myeloma (MM). To our knowledge, this is only the second reported case where RDD preceded a diagnosis of MM, with the first documented instance occurring in 2018. The patient presented to the dermatology clinic with a 5-year history of painless, solitary lesion over the right cheek. Local examination revealed a single 6 mm x 7 mm well-circumscribed pearly telangiectatic lesion resembling basal cell carcinoma over the right nasolabial fold and cheek. The lesion was excised with a 3 mm circumferential margin. Histopathology showed a mixed lymphohistiocytic cell infiltrate with emperipolesis and immunohistochemical staining patterns consistent with RDD. Two years later, the patient presented with hip pain and was diagnosed with MM. She was treated with lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone, and was later maintained on lenalidomide. Our case adds to the limited evidence suggesting a potential association between RDD and MM.

HPV is mainly responsible for evading immune tumor monitoring in HPV related cancers. Toll like receptors (TLRs) are particular pattern recognition molecules. When the body is facing immune danger, it can lead to innate and direct adaptive immunity. TLR plays an important role in initiating antiviral immune responses. HPV can affect the expression level of TLR and interfere with TLR related signaling pathways, resulting in sustained viral infection and even carcinogenesis. This paper introduces the HPV virus and HPV related cancers. We discussed the present comprehension of TLR, its expression and signaling, as well as its role in HPV infection. We also provided a detailed introduction to immunotherapy methods for HPV related diseases based on TLR agonists. This will provide insights into methods that support the therapeutic method of HPV related conditions with TLR agonists."

Strategies that can prevent/treat this condition are therefore required, especially low-cost and low-toxicity strategies. Bioactive compounds of plant origin have been presented as a good alternative. In this scenario, due to its abundant polyphenolic content (around 60 to 120 times greater than that of the grain), peanut skin by-products stand out as a sustainable source of food bioactives beneficial to human health. Investigated studies highlighted the importance of peanut skin for human health, its phytochemical composition, bioactivity and the potential for prevention and/or adjuvant therapy in cancer, through the advanced search for articles in the Virtual Health Library (VHL), Science direct and the Mourisco platform of the FioCruz Institute, from 2012 to 2022. Using the keywords, ""peanut skin"" AND ""cancer"" AND NOT ""allergy"", the words ""peanut testa"" and ""peanut peel"" were included replacing ""peanut skin"". 18 articles were selected from Plataforma Mourisco, 26 from Science Direct and 26 from VHL. Of these, 7 articles evaluated aspects of cancer prevention and/or treatment. Promising benefits were found in the prevention/treatment of chronic non-communicable diseases in the use of peanut and peanut skin extracts, such as cholesterolemia and glucose control, attenuation of oxidative stress and suppressive action on the proliferation and metabolism of cancer cells."

The aim of this study is to uncover the characteristics of immunosenescence index (ISI) to identify novel biomarkers and potential targets for treatment. Firstly, integrated bioinformatics analysis was carried out to identify risk prognostic genes, and their expression and prognostic value were evaluated. Then, we used the computational algorithm to estimate ISI. Finally, the distribution characteristics and clinical significance of ISI in SKCM by using multi-omics analysis. Patients with a lower ISI had a favorable survival rate, lower chromosomal instability, lower somatic copy-number alterations, lower somatic mutations, higher immune infiltration, and sensitive to immunotherapy. The ISI exhibited robust, which was validated in multiple datasets. Besides, the ISI is more effective than other published signatures in predicting survival outcomes for patients with SKCM. Single-cell analysis revealed higher ISI was specifically expressed in monocytes, and correlates with the differentiation fate of monocytes in SKCM. Besides, individuals exhibiting elevated ISI levels could potentially receive advantages from chemotherapy, and promising compounds with the potential to target high ISI were recognized. The ISI model is a valuable tool in categorizing SKCM patients based on their prognosis, gene mutation signatures, and response to immunotherapy."

The use of adjuvant and concomitant temozolomide (TMZ) improves the outcome; however, the effectiveness of this treatment varies according to MGMT levels. Herein, we evaluated whether MGMT expression affected the radioresponse of human GBM, GBM stem-like cells (GSCs), and melanoma. Our results indicated a correlation between MGMT promoter methylation status and MGMT expression. MGMT-producing cell lines ACPK1, GBMJ1, A375, and MM415 displayed enhanced radiosensitivity when MGMT was silenced using siRNA or when inhibited by lomeguatrib, whereas the OSU61, NSC11, WM852, and WM266-4 cell lines, which do not normally produce MGMT, displayed reduced radiosensitivity when MGMT was overexpressed. Mechanistically lomeguatrib prolonged radiation-induced γH2AX retention in MGMT-producing cells without specific cell cycle changes, suggesting that lomeguatrib-induced radiosensitization in these cells is due to radiation-induced DNA double-stranded break (DSB) repair inhibition. The DNA-DSB repair inhibition resulted in cell death via mitotic catastrophe in MGMT-producing cells. Overall, our results demonstrate that MGMT expression regulates radioresponse in GBM, GSC, and melanoma, implying a role for MGMT as a target for radiosensitization."
+4684,skin cancer,38811532,Liver and pancreatic-targeted interleukin-22 as a therapeutic for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.,"Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is the most prevalent cause of liver disease worldwide, with a single approved therapeutic. Previous research has shown that interleukin-22 (IL-22) can suppress β-cell stress, reduce local islet inflammation, restore appropriate insulin production, reverse hyperglycemia, and ameliorate insulin resistance in preclinical models of diabetes. In clinical trials long-acting forms of IL-22 have led to increased proliferation in the skin and intestine, where the IL-22RA1 receptor is highly expressed. To maximise beneficial effects whilst reducing the risk of epithelial proliferation and cancer, we designed short-acting IL-22-bispecific biologic drugs that successfully targeted the liver and pancreas. Here we show 10-fold lower doses of these bispecific biologics exceed the beneficial effects of native IL-22 in multiple preclinical models of MASH, without off-target effects. Treatment restores glycemic control, markedly reduces hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrogenesis. These short-acting IL-22-bispecific targeted biologics are a promising new therapeutic approach for MASH."

Several studies confirmed differences in the chemical composition of healthy and tumor tissue. Our study presents the potential of the LIBS (Laser-Induced-Breakdown Spectroscopy) technique as a diagnostic tool in malignant melanoma (MM) based on the quantitative changes in elemental composition in cancerous tissue. Our patient group included 17 samples of various types of malignant melanoma and one sample of healthy skin tissue as a control. To achieve a clear perception of results, we have selected two biogenic elements (calcium and magnesium), which showed a dissimilar distribution in cancerous tissue from its healthy surroundings. Moreover, we observed indications of different concentrations of these elements in different subtypes of malignant melanoma, a hypothesis that requires confirmation in a more extensive sample set. The information provided by the LIBS Imaging method could potentially be helpful not only in the diagnostics of tumor tissue but also be beneficial in broadening the knowledge about the tumor itself."

We recently showed that the extracellular matrix proteoglycan agrin accelerates cutaneous wound healing by improving mechanoperception of migrating keratinocytes and allowing them to respond to mechanical stresses through matrix metalloproteinase 12 (MMP12). RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that in addition to a disorganized extracellular matrix, agrin-depleted skin cells have impaired YAP/TAZ transcriptional outcomes, leading us to hypothesize that YAP/TAZ, as central mechanosensors, drive the functionality of agrin-MMP12 signaling during cutaneous wound repair. In this study, we demonstrate that agrin activates YAP/TAZ during migration of keratinocytes after wounding in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, YAP/TAZ sustain agrin and MMP12 protein expression during migration after wounding through positive feedback. YAP/TAZ silencing abolishes agrin-MMP12-mediated force recognition and geometrical constraints. Importantly, soluble agrin therapy accelerates wound closure in diabetic mouse models by engaging MMP12-YAP. Because patients with diabetic foot ulcers and impaired wound healing have reduced expression of agrin-MMP12 that correlates with YAP/TAZ inactivation, we propose that timely activation of YAP/TAZ by soluble agrin therapy can accentuate mechanobiological microenvironments for efficient wound healing, under normal and diabetic conditions."

+4696,skin cancer,38810653,VAMP2 controls murine epidermal differentiation and carcinogenesis by regulation of nucleophagy.,"Differentiation of murine epidermal stem/progenitor cells involves the permanent withdrawal from the cell cycle, the synthesis of various protein and lipid components for the cornified envelope, and the controlled dissolution of cellular organelles and nuclei. Deregulated epidermal differentiation contributes to the development of various skin diseases, including skin cancers. With a genome-wide shRNA screen, we identified vesicle-associated membrane protein 2 (VAMP2) as a critical factor involved in skin differentiation. Deletion of VAMP2 leads to aberrant skin stratification and enucleation in vivo. With quantitative proteomics, we further identified an autophagy protein, focal adhesion kinase family interacting protein of 200 kDa (FIP200), as a binding partner of VAMP2. Additionally, we showed that both VAMP2 and FIP200 are critical for murine keratinocyte enucleation and epidermal differentiation. Loss of VAMP2 or FIP200 enhances cutaneous carcinogenesis in vivo. Together, our findings identify important molecular mechanisms underlying epidermal differentiation and skin tumorigenesis."

CyberKnife and proton beam therapy (PBT) are two advanced treatment technologies suitable to deliver SBRT with high dose conformity and steep dose gradients. However, there is very limited data comparing the dosimetric characteristics of CyberKnife to PBT for liver SBRT. PBT and CyberKnife plans were retrospectively generated using 4DCT datasets of ten patients who were previously treated for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, N = 5) and liver metastasis (N = 5). Dose volume histogram data was assessed and compared against selected criteria; given a dose prescription of 54 Gy in 3 fractions for liver metastases and 45 Gy in 3 fractions for HCC, with previously published consensus-based normal tissue dose constraints. Comparison of evaluation parameters showed a statistically significant difference for target volume coverage and liver, lungs and spinal cord (p < 0.05) dose, while chest wall and skin did not indicate a significant difference between the two modalities. A number of optimal normal tissue constraints was violated by both the CyberKnife and proton plans for the same patients due to proximity of tumour to chest wall. PBT resulted in greater organ sparing, the extent of which was mainly dependent on tumour location. Tumours located on the liver periphery experienced the largest increase in organ sparing. Organ sparing for CyberKnife was comparable with PBT for small target volumes."

Tumor depth ranged from 1.6 to 10.0 (mean: 5.25) mm. Most of the patients underwent partial penectomy (n=6; 75%) and sentinel lymph node (LN) biopsy N=7; 87.5%). Seven patients had metastatic disease at diagnosis, 6 involving LNs and 1 the adrenal gland, and 4 died of disease with a mean follow-up period of 40.5 (2 to 95) months. Five of 7 (71%) cases identified 15 molecular alterations within KIT , CDKN2A , NF1 , PTEN , and APC (n=2 each), and NRAS , MAP3K1 , CDH1 , MSH6 , and TERT (n=1 each). Two cases were not found to harbor genetic aberrations, and 1 case failed testing. In addition, we reviewed the English literature and included 93 cases with a reported depth of invasion and follow-up. A total of 101 PMs were analyzed for prognostic parameters, and the overall survival was significantly worse in patients with LN metastasis (P=0.0008), distant metastasis (P=0.0016), and greater depth of invasion (P=0.0222) based upon T-stage. While T4 conferred substantially worse survival, the delineation of the survival curves between T2 and T3 was less clear, and combining T2+T3 disease had a strong prognostic impact ( P =0.0024). Prognostic parameters used in the staging of cutaneous melanomas may also be used in PMs. An alternative staging system expanding the inclusion criteria for T2 might provide a more accurate prognostic stratification."
+4712,skin cancer,38808531,Good clinical response to cemiplimab in a young patient with locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma on preexisting recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.,"Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a rare genetic skin disease caused by mutations in the type VII collagen gene (COL7A1; 3p21.31). Mutations in this gene lead to an alteration in function or reduced amounts of collagen VII. This alteration of collagen VII leads to skin fragility and lesions at minor injuries with difficult healing. Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is more frequent in patients with RDEB than in the general population because of chronic wound formation; it constitutes a major cause of morbidity and is often cited as a cause of death for these patients. There is little experience with the treatment of cSCC in patients with RDEB. We report the case of a 19-year-old female patient with RDBE and inoperable locally advanced cSCC of the left arm. Because of the lack of therapy options, therapy with cemiplimab was started at a dose of 350 mg administered intravenously every 3 weeks. A confirmed clinical response was observed after the second cycle of treatment with no toxicity. During follow-up, the patient had a notable clinical response with no auto-immune adverse reactions.

+4714,skin cancer,38808207,Brachytherapy and 3D printing for skin cancer: A review paper.,"Brachytherapy is a type of radiation therapy, in which a radiation source is placed directly or close to a tumor. It is commonly used to treat skin cancer, and enables precise irradiation treatment of affected area (planning target volume - PTV) while minimizing exposure dose to surrounding healthy tissue (organs at risk - OARs). Recently, the use of 3D printing has begun revolutionizing brachytherapy, as it allows manufacturing of custom-designed applicators for unique shape of skin topography, tumor, and surrounding tissues. Outcome of the combination of 3D printing and brachytherapy has several advantages over traditional treatment planning methods. Some of the advantages are intuitive, whereas others can be concluded from a literature overview as follows: 1) Possibility of developing patient-specific applicators that precisely match the shape of tumor area; 2) Reduction of the time required for applicator production, especially when custom-made devices are needed; 3) Reduction of manufacturing costs; 4) Treatment procedures improvement; 5) Improvement of safety measures accelerated by the development of smart materials (e.g., polymer filaments with admixture of heavy elements); 6) Possibility of nearly instant adjustment into tumor treatment (applicators can be changed as the tumor is changing its shape); and 7) Applicators designed to securely fit to treatment area to hold radioactive source always in the same place for each fraction. Consequently, tumor-provided dose is accurate and leads to effective treatment. In this review paper, we investigated the current state-of-the-art of the application of 3D printing in brachytherapy. A number of existing reports were chosen and reviewed in terms of printing technology, materials used, treatment effectiveness, and fabrication protocols. Furthermore, the development of future directions that should be considered by collaborative teams bridging different fields of science, such as medicine, physics, chemistry, and material science were summarized. With the indicated topics, we hope to stimulate the innovative progress of 3D printing technology in brachytherapy."

Radiotherapy following breast-conserving surgery is the standard treatment of breast cancer. Recently, hypofractionated irradiation comprising 42.56 Gy in 16 fractions was selected as a viable radiation therapeutic option. Radiation-induced sarcoma is the most prevalent secondary malignancy in patients undergoing radiotherapy after breast cancer surgery. Angiosarcomas are the predominant type of radiation-induced sarcomas, whereas liposarcomas have rarely been reported. The present report details an uncommon instance of radiation-induced pleomorphic liposarcoma that occurred 8 years after breast-conserving surgery and hypofractionated radiotherapy. The patient visited the hospital due to hardening of the tissue beneath the skin of the right breast. Ultrasonography revealed a hypoechoic mass in the lower part of the right breast containing internal blood flow. An excisional biopsy revealed that the tumor contained infiltrating spindle-shaped cells without a capsule containing pleomorphic cells. Lipoblasts were also observed and tended to differentiate into adipose tissue, leading to a diagnosis of pleomorphic liposarcoma. Immunostaining revealed negativity for cytokeratin AE1/AE3, ERG, MDM2 and S-100 protein; the Ki-67 index was ~20%. An enlargement resection involving a postoperative bed was performed because of close tumor margins. "

Despite novel therapy options, metastatic melanoma still has a poor prognosis. Immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) therapy has been shown to prolong overall survival in patients with advanced melanoma, but mucosal melanomas respond less favorably compared to melanomas of cutaneous origin. We report on a patient with a mucosal melanoma of the rectum diagnosed in June 2020. Since a surgical intervention in order to achieve a tumor-free situation would have required an amputation of the rectum, a neo-adjuvant systemic immunotherapy with ipilimumab and nivolumab was initiated. As restaging and colonoscopy after four doses of this combination immunotherapy showed a partial response, the patient decided against the pre-planned surgery and a maintenance therapy with nivolumab was started. Repeated colonoscopy showed a complete response after four doses of nivolumab. After ongoing ICI therapy with nivolumab and no evidence of tumor relapse, immunotherapy was stopped in July 2022 after nearly 2 years of continuous treatment. The patient remained tumor-free during further follow-up. Neo-adjuvant immunotherapy is getting more explored in advanced melanoma. By administering ICI therapy before surgical resection of an essentially operable tumor, a stronger and more diverse immunological response is supposed to be achieved. Our reported case demonstrates that this approach could also be effective in mucosal melanoma despite of its generally lower response to immunotherapy."

Or, following Albert Einstein's postulate: ˝We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them˝, we should think: ˝Where does the road to success start? How do we solve or neutralize a problem? ˝ And the answer is: ˝ By taking a consistent and systematic approach, analyzing each component! And we eliminate every possibility of negative influence.˝ These thoughts apply with full force to cancer rates in general, but also to melanoma rates in particular: the murderous tempo of globalization and modernization in medicine has not yet led to the desired decrease in these rates; on the contrary, they are rising headlong and remain largely unpredictable and difficult to regulate. The conclusion is that a solution should be sought by refracting light through another prism: that of Nitrosogenesis and Pharmaco-Oncogenesis. A step-by-step and systematic approach to solving a problem requires patience, determination, and perseverance. As this perseverance is needed mainly to overcome the general ignorance, neglect, disinterest, uneducation and uncertainty of others, rather than doubt in one's own thesis, analysis, and the need for an active approach. Careful analysis of concepts such as ˝Drug Mediated Nitrosogenesis˝ and ˝Onco-pharmacogenesis/Pharmaco-oncogenesis˝ of skin cancer would certainly contribute to the elucidation of skin carcinogenesis in the context of polymedication of the contamination and polymorbidity worldwide. The FDA has already in 2019 taken this much needed first step of universal awareness and its ˝arm˝ has been taken seriously and responsibly solely by dermatologists and dermatosurgeons. It was this guild and only this guild that launched its independent, never-ending observations, logically grounded (hypo)theses, remaining to date confirmatory, unshakable, and enigmatic regarding the unit: intake of potentially contaminated medication and subsequent development of melanomas. It is this and only this branch of the medical guild that has also become the guarantor of safety and objectivity in science, and thus of safety in the fight for survival of a huge number of skin cancer patients. Contaminated oral antidiabetic drugs in the face of Metformin and Sitagliptin do not make an exception in this respect. Similarly to cutaneous melanomas occurring (and published in the scientific literature) after combined intake (or monomedication) of/ between ranitidine, valsartan, olmesartan, candesartan, telmisartan, irbesartan, losartan, enalapril, lisinopril, perindopril, hydrochlorothiazide, nifedipine, amlodipine, propafenone, bisoprolol, nebivolol, melitracen and a number of others, we inform about another rare but not unexpected clinical observation: occurrence of cutaneous melanomas after taking another class of drugs- oral antidiabetic ones. Or after the intake of nitrosamine-contaminated antidiabetic drugs. And whether this contamination is ""real or potential"" is left to regulators and manufacturers to decide. We accept it as `real-potential' or `potentially-real' because of the fact that neither the regulators nor the manufacturers know what it is or whether it is there or how it arose. The data shared in patients one and two in the presented scientific work are confirmatory in relation to the potential pathogenetic action of nitrosamine contaminated drugs such as 1) bisoprolol/ nebivolol/ candesartan/ hydrochlorothiazide and amlodipine, as well as 2) furosemide in the direction of cutaneous melanoma. Patient 3 in fact also represents the first formally described patient with subsequent melanoma development worldwide, having developed it following intake of potentially/actually nitrosamine-contaminated metformin and metformin/sitagliptin (both drugs are themed in the FDA's Potentially Contaminated Drug Bulletin: 1) metformin, multiple times between 2020-21, due to its contamination with NDMA and 2) sitagliptin, as of September 2022, due to its contamination with NTTP). It should not be seen as surprising to anyone that the intake of relatively similar carcinogens/nitrosamines or NDSRIs, but as an unofficial component of heterogeneous drugs, produces a relatively monomorphic clinical picture- that of cutaneous melanoma. Or to put it metaphorically: ˝The wolf changes its hair, but not its mood˝. A carcinogen remains a carcinogen, regardless of whether it is ingested in a lemonade, a tablet, a sandwich, or a bonbon. Similarly to the intake of nitrosamines in food. Future studies should address the important tasks/dilemmas to elucidate 1) the phototoxic/photocarcinogenic effect of unmetabolized nitrosamines identified in drug formulations; 2) the phototoxic/photocarcinogenic effect of DNA adducts generated after their metabolization, and 3) the availability of specific DNA adducts in lesional/tumor tissue and blood of patients after ingestion of nitroso-containing drug formulations. This level of evidence is likely to lead to a reconsideration of the arguments for the introduction of permanent elimination regimes for nitrosamines in medicines. Metabolic reprogramming (and its relationship to UVB radiation) due to the availability of nitrosamines in cigarette smoke is also currently a proven reality. Based on the available clinicopathological correlations, we believe that nitrosamines in drugs have a similar effect and are part of the key pathway activating skin carcinogenesis under the influence of solar radiation. Intake of contaminated medication is associated with skin cancer generation and progression. It is up to regulators and manufacturers to justify the merits and benefits of the self-imposed presence of carcinogens in drugs or the benefits of such drugs. Apart from the ""cancer-generating benefit"", of course, which is already widely known. And let us not forget that: ""A lie stops being a lie and becomes a truth the moment it is officially refuted""."

The columella is one of the most difficult nasal subunits, both from the point of view of disease control and from that of reconstruction. Lesions involving the columella can be difficult to control, and malignancies can spread to the septum, subcutaneous tissues of the lip, and floor of the nasal cavities. Many columella reconstruction methods after resection have been proposed (local nasal flaps, skin grafts, regional flaps, free flaps), depending on the size of the defect, patient's features, surgeon's experience, and patient's aesthetic wishes. CASE REPORT We present a case of an 82-year-old woman with various comorbidities who had squamous cell carcinoma (G2) originating from the skin of the right side of the columella. The lesion infiltrated the cartilage, arriving to the skin of the columella on the left side and extending to the mucosa of the nasal septum bilaterally. Reconstruction was conducted using a bilateral nasolabial flap, with good functional and aesthetic result. Surgical revision for the autonomization of pedicled flaps was not necessary, nor desired by the patient. CONCLUSIONS The bilateral nasolabial flap is an effective and safe solution for reconstructing the columella, with good support of the tip even without cartilaginous graft. This technique is especially feasible in elderly patients and those with concomitant pathologies, who benefit from rapid healing of the wound."

We used data from the Health Information National Trends Survey (2017-2022). Adjusted logistic regression was conducted to identify the predictors of information-seeking by race/ethnicity. Predicting variables were organized into demographic (age, education, race, income, and comorbidity), enabling (having health insurance, having a regular provider, and frequency of care visits), predisposing (quality of care, self-efficacy, and confidence in one's ability to get information), and reinforcing (patient-centered communication, ease of getting information, and confusing information available) factors based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED Model. We included 4723 cancer survivors, of which 15.41% have breast cancer, 17.50% have skin cancer, and 11.11% have prostate cancer. A majority (75.08%) had sought health information. Healthcare providers were the most preferred sources of information across demographic groups, followed by the Internet. Health insurance, a regular provider, and frequent visits were enabling factors that positively influenced information-seeking behavior. Confidence in getting information when needed and self-efficacy were predisposing factors positively associated with the information-seeking behavior. Finally, reinforcing factors (ease of getting information and non-confusion of the information available) were also positively associated with information-seeking. Study findings suggest that one-fourth of cancer survivors had not sought cancer-related information. The results have implications for identifying patients at increased risk for unmet information needs. They also contribute to our understanding of critical racial differences and similarities. Further, findings can help guide interventions to assist in information seeking based on patient preferences."

Hypoxia is a critical factor in the development and progression of cancers. However, whether and how hypoxia-related genes (HRGs) could affect the development and the chemotherapy response of bladder cancer is still largely unexplored. This study comprehensively explored the complex molecular landscape associated with hypoxia in bladder cancer by analyzing 260 hypoxia genes based on transcriptomic and genomic data in 411 samples. Employing the 109 dysregulated hypoxia genes for consensus clustering, we delineated two distinct bladder cancer clusters characterized by disparate survival outcomes and distinct oncogenic roles. We defined a HPscore that was correlated with a variety of clinical features, including TNM stages and pathologic grades. Tumor immune landscape analysis identified three immune clusters and close interactions between hypoxia genes and the various immune cells. Utilizing a network-based method, we defined 129 HRGs exerting influence on apoptotic processes and critical signaling pathways in cancer. Further analysis of chemotherapy drug sensitivity identified potential drug-target HRGs. We developed a Risk Score model that was related to the overall survival of bladder cancer patients based on doxorubicin-target HRGs: ACTG2, MYC, PDGFRB, DHRS2, and KLRD1. This study not only enhanced our understanding of bladder cancer at the molecular level but also provided promising avenues for the development of targeted therapies, representing a significant step toward the identification of effective treatments and addressing the urgent need for advancements in bladder cancer management."
+4727,skin cancer,38806624,Targeting STING in dendritic cells alleviates psoriatic inflammation by suppressing IL-17A production.,"Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease driven by the aberrant activation of dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells, ultimately leading to increased production of cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-23 and IL-17A. It is established that the cGAS-STING pathway is essential for psoriatic inflammation, however, the specific role of cGAS-STING signaling in DCs within this context remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrated the upregulation of cGAS-STING signaling in psoriatic lesions by analyzing samples from both clinical patients and imiquimod (IMQ)-treated mice. Using a conditional Sting-knockout transgenic mouse model, we elucidated the impact of cGAS-STING signaling in DCs on the activation of IL-17- and IFN-γ-producing T cells in psoriatic inflammation. Ablation of the Sting hampers DC activation leads to decreased numbers of IL-17-producing T cells and Th1 cells, and thus subsequently attenuates psoriatic inflammation in the IMQ-induced mouse model. Furthermore, we explored the therapeutic potential of the STING inhibitor C-176, which reduces psoriatic inflammation and enhances the anti-IL-17A therapeutic response. Our results underscore the critical role of cGAS-STING signaling in DCs in driving psoriatic inflammation and highlight a promising psoriasis treatment."

+4729,skin cancer,38805555,Impact of viral telomeric repeat sequences on herpesvirus vector vaccine integration and persistence.,"Marek's disease virus (MDV) vaccines were the first vaccines that protected against cancer. The avirulent turkey herpesvirus (HVT) was widely employed and protected billions of chickens from a deadly MDV infection. It is also among the most common vaccine vectors providing protection against a plethora of pathogens. HVT establishes latency in T-cells, allowing the vaccine virus to persist in the host for life. Intriguingly, the HVT genome contains telomeric repeat arrays (TMRs) at both ends; however, their role in the HVT life cycle remains elusive. We have previously shown that similar TMRs in the MDV genome facilitate its integration into host telomeres, which ensures efficient maintenance of the virus genome during latency and tumorigenesis. In this study, we investigated the role of the TMRs in HVT genome integration, latency, and reactivation in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, we examined HVT infection of feather follicles. We generated an HVT mutant lacking both TMRs (vΔTMR) that efficiently replicated in cell culture. We could demonstrate that wild type HVT integrates at the ends of chromosomes containing the telomeres in T-cells, while integration was severely impaired in the absence of the TMRs. To assess the role of TMRs in vivo, we infected one-day-old chickens with HVT or vΔTMR. vΔTMR loads were significantly reduced in the blood and hardly any virus was transported to the feather follicle epithelium where the virus is commonly shed. Strikingly, latency in the spleen and reactivation of the virus were severely impaired in the absence of the TMRs, indicating that the TMRs are crucial for the establishment of latency and reactivation of HVT. Our findings revealed that the TMRs facilitate integration of the HVT genome into host chromosomes, which ensures efficient persistence in the host, reactivation, and transport of the virus to the skin."
+4730,skin cancer,38805398,Insights from multi-omic modeling of neurodegeneration in xeroderma pigmentosum using an induced pluripotent stem cell system.,"Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is caused by defective nucleotide excision repair of DNA damage. This results in hypersensitivity to ultraviolet light and increased skin cancer risk, as sunlight-induced photoproducts remain unrepaired. However, many XP patients also display early-onset neurodegeneration, which leads to premature death. The mechanism of neurodegeneration is unknown. Here, we investigate XP neurodegeneration using pluripotent stem cells derived from XP patients and healthy relatives, performing functional multi-omics on samples during neuronal differentiation. We show substantially increased levels of 5',8-cyclopurine and 8-oxopurine in XP neuronal DNA secondary to marked oxidative stress. Furthermore, we find that the endoplasmic reticulum stress response is upregulated and reversal of the mutant genotype is associated with phenotypic rescue. Critically, XP neurons exhibit inappropriate downregulation of the protein clearance ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). Chemical enhancement of UPS activity in XP neuronal models improves phenotypes, albeit inadequately. Although more work is required, this study presents insights with intervention potential."

Despite its importance, our understanding of this system has been hampered by the considerable functional and molecular diversity of its constituent cells. Here, we use fluorescence-activated cell sorting to isolate ALS neurons belonging to the Phox2a-lineage for single-nucleus RNA sequencing. We reveal five distinct clusters of ALS neurons (ALS1-5) and document their laminar distribution in the spinal cord using in situ hybridization. We identify three clusters of neurons located predominantly in laminae I-III of the dorsal horn (ALS1-3) and two clusters with cell bodies located in deeper laminae (ALS4 and ALS5). Our findings reveal the transcriptional logic that underlies ALS neuronal diversity in the adult mouse and uncover the molecular identity of two previously identified classes of projection neurons. We also show that these molecular signatures can be used to target groups of ALS neurons using retrograde viral tracing. Overall, our findings provide a valuable resource for studying somatosensory biology and targeting subclasses of ALS neurons."

Despite that it can be challenging to interpret these images because of features like colour illumination changes, variation in the sizes and forms of the lesions. To tackle these problems, the proposed model develops an ensemble of deep learning techniques for skin cancer diagnosis. Initially, skin imaging data are collected and preprocessed using resizing and anisotropic diffusion to enhance the quality of the image. Preprocessed images are fed into the Fuzzy-C-Means clustering technique to segment the region of diseases. Stacking-based ensemble deep learning approach is used for classification and the LSTM acts as a meta-classifier. Deep Neural Network (DNN) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) are used as input for LSTM. This segmented images are utilized to be input into the CNN, and the local binary pattern (LBP) technique is employed to extract DNN features from the segments of the image. The output from these two classifiers will be fed into the LSTM Meta classifier. This LSTM classifies the input data and predicts the skin cancer disease. The proposed approach had a greater accuracy of 97%. Hence, the developed model accurately predicts skin cancer disease."

In total, 39.9% of individuals with a registered BCC had at least 2 registered tumours. The risk of developing a subsequent BCC increased significantly in males, older age, and with residence in southern Sweden. The cumulative 5-year risk of developing an additional BCC after first diagnosis was approximately 30% in males and 27% in females and increased after multiple previous BCCs. This study showed the cumulative risk of a subsequent BCC to increase with a history of multiple BCCs, indicating the need for clinical surveillance in these individuals."

Using RT-qPCR, we assessed the gene expression of CD39 and CD73 ectonucleotidases, as well as adenosine deaminase (ADA). Curcumin effectively downregulated CD39, CD73, and ADA gene expression. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that curcumin significantly reduced CD39 and CD73 protein expression at specific concentrations. Moreover, the A2A receptor's protein expression decreased across all concentrations. Enzymatic activity assays demonstrated that curcumin modulated CD39, CD73, and ADA activities, with effects dependent on concentration and duration of treatment. Extracellular ATP levels increased after 24 h of curcumin treatment, emphasizing its role in modulating hydrolytic activity. Curcumin also displayed anti-inflammatory properties by reducing NLRP3 gene expression and impacting the levels of key inflammatory cytokines. In conclusion, this study unveils the potential of curcumin as a promising adjuvant in CM treatment. Curcumin modulates the expression and activity of crucial components of the purinergic system and exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, indicating its potential therapeutic role in combating CM. These findings underscore curcumin's promise and warrant further investigation in preclinical and clinical settings for melanoma management."

The antimelanoma activity of regorafenib (REGO), a multitargeted kinase inhibitor, has not been investigated in this patient population. The objective response rate and safety of REGO treatment in advanced melanoma patients was investigated retrospectively. Twenty-seven patients received REGO treatment. All patients had progressed on anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) checkpoint inhibition and BRAF/MEK inhibitors (in case of a BRAF V600 mutation). REGO was administered in continuous dosing and combined (upfront or sequentially) with nivolumab ( n  = 5), trametinib ( n  = 8), binimetinib ( n  = 2), encorafenib ( n  = 1), dabrafenib/trametinib ( n  = 9), or encorafenib/binimetinib ( n  = 7). The best overall response was partial response (PR) in five patients (18.5%) and stable disease in three patients (11.1%). Three of seven (42.8%) BRAF  V600mut patients treated with REGO in combination with BRAF/MEK inhibitors obtained a PR (including regression of brain metastases in all three patients). In addition, PR was documented in a BRAF V600mut patient treated with REGO plus anti-PD-1, and a NRASQ61mut patient treated with REGO plus a MEK inhibitor. Common grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events included arterial hypertension ( n  = 7), elevated transaminase levels ( n  = 5), abdominal pain ( n  = 3), colitis ( n  = 2), anorexia ( n  = 1), diarrhea ( n  = 1), fever ( n  = 1), duodenal perforation ( n  = 1), and colonic bleeding ( n  = 1). Median progression-free survival was 11.0 weeks (95% confidence interval, 7.1-14.9); median overall survival was 23.1 weeks (95% confidence interval, 13.0-33.3). REGO has a manageable safety profile in advanced melanoma patients, in monotherapy as well as combined with BRAF/MEK inhibitors or PD-1 blocking monoclonal antibodies. The triplet combination of REGO with BRAF/MEK inhibitors appears most active, particularly in the BRAF V600mut patients."

+4756,skin cancer,38800966,Delayed onset skin toxicity reaction after peripherally inserted central catheter rupture in lower extremities combined with chemotherapy.,"Herein, we present a patient who was undergoing chemotherapy for bilateral breast cancer and experienced delayed-onset skin toxicity reactions after rupture of a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in the lower extremities. The objective of this case report is to provide the necessary nursing assessment for the risk awareness of the PICC internal rupture and the occurrence of central venous catheter extravasation, as well as to strengthen the judgment of delayed skin toxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs. Rupture of the PICC in the lower extremities was primarily attributed to the use of a silicone catheter and an excessive puncture angle. The nature of docetaxel and partial catheter rupture caused drug extravasation, leading to delayed skin toxicity. The use of a polyurethane catheter reduces the incidence of catheter rupture; hence, silicon catheters should be avoided. The central venous catheter is also at risk for the extravasation of chemotherapeutic agents. Moreover, docetaxel-induced delayed skin toxicity, which has a high incidence, should be treated as expected. Nurses and clinicians should be aware of PICC internal rupture and central venous catheter extravasation to strengthen the judgment of delayed skin toxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs."

We started with the UNC Melanocytic Tumor Dataset cohort that contains 160 hematoxylin and eosin whole-slide images of primary melanomas (86) and nevi (74). We randomly assigned 80% (134) as a training set and built an in-house deep-learning method to allow for classification, at the slide level, of nevi and melanomas. The proposed method performed well on the other 20% (26) test dataset; the accuracy of the slide classification task was 92.3% and our model also performed well in terms of predicting the region of interest annotated by the pathologists, showing excellent performance of our model on melanocytic skin tumors. Even though we tested the experiments on the skin tumor dataset, our work could also be extended to other medical image detection problems to benefit the clinical evaluation and diagnosis of different tumors."
+4758,skin cancer,38800408,Case report: Regression of in-transit metastases of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma with combination pembrolizumab and topical diphencyprone.,"While typically low-risk, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) can infrequently progress to metastatic disease with in-transit lesions, localized to the dermis or subcutaneous tissue between the primary tumor and draining regional lymph nodes. These lesions are associated with poor prognostic values, including decreased survival rates and increased risk of recurrence. We present the case of a 75-year-old male with cSCC and in-transit metastases on his scalp treated with the immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) pembrolizumab in conjunction with diphencyprone (DPCP), a topical hapten that induces a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction in the skin. The patient was enrolled in a clinical trial (NCT05481658) that involved the twice-weekly application of DPCP 0.04% ointment to four of the in-transit metastases on his frontal scalp, concurrent with pembrolizumab 300 mg administered every three weeks. Following effective sensitization and a twelve-week treatment course, complete clearance of all lesions, DPCP-treated and non-DPCP treated, was achieved, with no adverse events. The immunologic profiles of the post-treatment biopsies were analyzed by TaqMan Low Density Array quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction to measure immune marker gene expression. Relative to the non-DPCP-treated lesion, the DPCP-treated lesion demonstrated increased pro-inflammatory genetic markers and T-cell activation. This case represents the first reported instance of in-transit metastases of cSCC successfully treated with DPCP and an ICI. It highlights the potential safety and efficacy of DPCP with systemic immunotherapy for the management of in-transit metastases of cSCC in patients for whom surgery and radiation may be contraindicated."

In most cases, an extramammary Paget's tumor occurs as a single intraepithelial form not associated with another cancer, although rarely, it may be associated with other loco-regional or distant cancer. It is generally slow-growing and diagnosed in situ. Most often, surgical excision with wide margins is curative, with the local recurrence rate being lower after the Mohs micrographic surgery technique. Nonetheless, relapses are frequent. In the metastatic setting, there are no treatment guidelines or standard therapies; additionally, the experience is limited to a few individual cases, and the efficacy of conventional chemotherapies is not well-defined. Moreover, chemotherapy can also have serious side effects; therefore, there is a need to identify more effective and less toxic therapies.

These polyps are non-cancerous, but the presence of PJS significantly increases the chances of developing various types of cancers, such as colorectal, pancreatic, gastric, and breast cancer. The purpose of this review article is to give an abbreviated summary of what is currently known about this syndrome, covering its clinical symptoms, pathophysiology, genetics, and management. PJS also raises the risk of getting many malignancies, especially gastrointestinal and pelvic cancers. Symptoms of the gastrointestinal tract brought on by hamartomatous polyps are frequent and include stool blockage, bleeding, and stomach pain. The pigmentation commonly appears as prominent bluish-black macules and frequently affects the skin and mucous membranes. Small macules and large regions of lentiginous pigmentation are both possible. Numerous areas, including the perioral area, buccal mucosa, fingers, and lips, exhibit pigmentation. Bowel obstruction and intussusception risk can be decreased by early identification and routine surveillance of gastrointestinal polyps. The gene serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11) controls several biological functions, including cell polarity, growth, and proliferation. Genetic counseling is recommended for the affected individuals and their families. This can help assess the risk of passing on the condition to future generations and provide information about available reproductive options. Regular surveillance is crucial for managing the syndrome and reducing the risk of cancer development. Other syndromes and extra-gastrointestinal characteristics, such as somatic tumor polyps outside the gastrointestinal tract, are also linked to this syndrome."

Breast reconstruction is increasingly recognized as an integral part of breast cancer management. In tandem, the population of trans women is also increasing. However, few studies have focused on the management of breast cancer in this population, given that estrogen therapy has the potential to increase the risk of breast cancer. We present the case of a 51-year-old trans woman diagnosed with right breast cancer following a 32-year history of estrogen therapy. She presented to our clinic for consultation and immediate breast reconstruction. She opted for bilateral skin-sparing mastectomies, sentinel lymph node biopsies, and immediate breast reconstruction using deep inferior epigastric perforator free flaps. There were no postoperative flap complications. Final pathology revealed invasive mucinous carcinoma, devoid of lymph node involvement. The patient was satisfied with her reconstruction and is currently planning for nipple reconstruction. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case in the literature of bilateral deep inferior epigastric perforator free flap reconstruction in the trans female population after breast cancer diagnosis. This case underscores the need for a holistic treatment approach and heightened vigilance among trans women on estrogen therapy.

They play a crucial role in influencing drug efficacy. We utilized CGIdb 2.0 (http://www.medsysbio.org/CGIdb2/), an updated database of comprehensively published GIs information, encompassing synthetic lethality (SL), synthetic viability (SV), and chemical-genetic interactions. CGIdb 2.0 elucidates GIs relationships between or within protein complex models by integrating protein-protein physical interactions. Additionally, we introduced GENIUS (GENetic Interactions mediated drUg Signature) to leverage GIs for identifying the response signature of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). GENIUS identified high MAP4K4 expression as a resistant signature and high HERC4 expression as a sensitive signature for ICIs treatment. Melanoma patients with high expression of MAP4K4 were associated with decreased efficacy and poorer survival following ICIs treatment. Conversely, overexpression of HERC4 in melanoma patients correlated with a positive response to ICIs. Notably, HERC4 enhances sensitivity to immunotherapy by facilitating antigen presentation. Analyses of immune cell infiltration and single-cell data revealed that B cells expressing MAP4K4 may contribute to resistance to ICIs in melanoma. Overall, CGIdb 2.0, provides integrated GIs data, thus serving as a crucial tool for exploring drug effects."

Our goal is to identify notable characteristics in location, frequency, and severity of cutaneous findings along with the median age of skin cancers in skin-of-color (SOC) patients with skin-cancer-associated genodermatoses to improve diagnosis rates. We searched for genodermatoses on six databases. Each case report or case series was reviewed, including reports, published in English, containing adult patient descriptions. Duplicate manuscripts were removed using EndNote. The following case-level data were collected from the manuscripts: age, gender, patient country or region of origin, author country/continent of residence, skin cancer-related, and other key dermatologic features. 381 published articles, with a total of 578 SOC patients, met criteria for inclusion. SOC patients can present with fewer classic findings, such as a lower incidence of basal cell carcinomas (44%) in SOC Gorlin syndrome patients than palmar pits (66%) and mandibular cysts (66%). Differences between SOC populations were also noted, such as leukoplakia being more common in Asian dyskeratosis congenita patients (80%) in comparison to African dyskeratosis congenita patients (44%). SOC patients also have varying onset of skin cancer depending on the genodermatosis, from a median of 25 years of age in Rothmund-Thomson syndrome to 53 in Muir-Torre syndrome. In this review, SOC patients with genodermatoses can have varying presentations.

EGR-1 is a transcription factor that aggravates the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis by promoting the production of various inflammatory cytokines. Three 2-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamides (IT21, IT23, and IT25) were identified as novel inhibitors of EGR-1 DNA-binding activity. In silico docking experiments were performed to elucidate the binding conditions of the EGR-1 zinc-finger (ZnF) DNA-binding domain. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays confirmed the targeted binding effect on the EGR-1 ZnF DNA-binding domain, leading to dose-dependent dissociation of the EGR-1-DNA complex. At the functional cellular level, IT21, IT23, and IT25 effectively reduced mRNA expression of TNFα-induced EGR-1-regulated inflammatory genes, particularly in HaCaT keratinocytes inflamed by TNFα. In the in vivo efficacy study, IT21, IT23, and IT25 demonstrated the potential to alleviate atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions in the ear skin of BALB/c mice. These findings suggest that targeting the EGR-1 ZnF DNA-binding domain with 2-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide derivatives (IT21, IT23, and IT25) could serve as lead compounds for the development of potential therapeutic agents against inflammatory skin disorders, including atopic dermatitis."

Traditional treatments, while effective, pose risks of scarring and systemic side effects. Laser therapy offers an emerging non-surgical alternative, with CO2 lasers particularly showing promise in palliative care.A comprehensive search was conducted using PubMed, focusing on laser therapy for melanoma treatment. The search included studies on both stand-alone and adjunct laser therapies, with inclusion criteria requiring peer-reviewed articles detailing treatment outcomes for primary, recurrent, or metastatic melanoma.The literature shows that laser therapy for melanoma falls into four major types when categorized by laser medium: solid-state, diode, pulse-dye, and gas (CO2). Data on solid-state lasers for melanoma are limited and their use remains controversial. However, one study with high-energy pulsed neodymium lasers reported a 5-year survival of 82.9% with minimal adverse effects for primary melanoma. CO2 laser therapy has been effective for palliative treatment, with one study showing 54.8% of patients with recurrent melanoma surviving 5.4 years post-ablation. For metastatic melanoma, numerous studies have shown that CO2 laser therapy can provide symptomatic relief and disease control. Combination therapies using lasers and immune-based therapies have demonstrated enhanced outcomes and immune activation, highlighting the potential of laser therapies in melanoma management.While traditional treatments remain the standard for primary melanoma, laser therapies, particularly CO2 laser ablation, show substantial promise in palliative care for metastatic melanoma. Careful patient selection and assessment are crucial for achieving positive outcomes."
+4790,skin cancer,38795220,A retrospective analysis of drugs associated with the development of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma reported by patients on the FDA's adverse events reporting system.,"Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common type of skin cancer arising from squamous cells of the epidermis. Most cases of cSCC have a good prognosis if detected and treated early; however, certain cases can be aggressive. The primary risk factor for cSCC is prolonged ultraviolet radiation from sun exposure, leading to DNA mutations. Other risk factors have also been observed, including adverse reactions to medications, particularly immunosuppressants. A query of the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Events Reporting System (FAERS) was done, and all reported events of cSCC as adverse events to medication were recorded along with demographic data of patients affected. A total of 4,792 cases of cSCC as an adverse event to medication were reported between 1997 and 2023. Lenalidomide, a chemotherapeutic drug, had the most cases of cSCC as an adverse event. Nine of the top 10 drugs associated with cSCC had immunosuppressive characteristics. While males had higher odds of cSCC associated with corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors, females had higher odds of cSCC related to monoclonal antibodies. Geriatric patients accounted for the majority of cSCC cases at 59.7%. Drawing on data from the FAERS database, there's been a consistent increase in cSCC cases as a side-effect to certain medications, with most having immunosuppressive characteristics. Since there is a lack of up-to-date literature overviewing the most implicated medications for cSCC, we aimed to illustrate this better, as well as patient demographics, to better guide clinicians when prescribing these medications."
+4791,skin cancer,38795216,A systematic review of basal cell carcinoma on the scrotum-reviewing presentation and identifying challenges in management.,"Since the scrotum is rarely exposed to sunlight, basal cell carcinoma (BCC) development in this area is an uncommon occurrence. As result, there is a scarcity of research covering this particular presentation, which poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for clinicians. The objective of this systematic review is to provide a thorough overview of scrotal BCC, including a summary of its clinical characteristics, and microscopic subtypes. It also seeks to discuss the many techniques used in the management of this uncommon clinical presentation. Utilizing data from 1957 to October 2023, a systematic review of PubMed and Wiley Online Library was conducted to identify all cases of scrotal BCC with various presentations and managements. A total of 73 patients were included. The median patient age was 65.9 years (range 42 to 87). All studies were either case reports or case series. Our review shows that treatment with Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), leads to a superior patient outcome based on anecdotal evidence in select cases. To deepen our understanding of Mohs surgery's efficacy in treating scrotal BCC, it is imperative to conduct more robust research in the form of randomized clinical trials."

+4794,skin cancer,38795191,α5-nAChR/ADAM10 signaling mediates nicotine-related cutaneous melanoma progression via STAT3 activation.,"Skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) is the skin malignancy with the highest mortality rate, and its morbidity rate is on the rise worldwide. Smoking is an independent marker of poor prognosis in melanoma. The α5-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α5-nAChR), one of the receptors for nicotine, is involved in the proliferation, migration and invasion of SKCM cells. Nicotine has been reported to promote the expression of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 10 (ADAM10), which is the key gene involved in melanoma progression. Here, we explored the link between α5-nAChR and ADAM10 in nicotine-associated cutaneous melanoma. α5-nAChR expression was correlated with ADAM10 expression and lower survival in SKCM. α5-nAChR mediated nicotine-induced ADAM10 expression via STAT3. The α5-nAChR/ADAM10 signaling axis was involved in the stemness and migration of SKCM cells. Furthermore, α5-nAChR expression was associated with ADAM10 expression, EMT marker expression and stemness marker expression in nicotine-related mice homograft tissues. These results suggest the role of the α5-nAChR/ADAM10 signaling pathway in nicotine-induced melanoma progression."
+4795,skin cancer,38795175,Monoclonal gammopathy in the setting of Pyoderma gangrenosum.,"Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a neutrophilic dermatosis characterized by ulcerative painful lesions with violaceous undermined borders. Up to 75% of PG cases develop in association with an underlying systemic disease. Monoclonal gammopathy is reportedly a concomitant condition with PG, with studies indicating immunoglobulin (Ig) A gammopathy as the most common. Whether gammopathy is associated with PG or is an incidental finding has been debated. We sought to investigate the association and characteristics of gammopathy in patients with PG. We retrospectively identified PG patients at our institution from 2010 to 2022 who were screened for plasma cell dyscrasia. Of 106 patients identified, 29 (27%) had a gammopathy; subtypes included IgA (41%), IgG (28%), and biclonal (IgA and IgG) (14%). Mean age was similar between those with and without gammopathy (60.7 vs. 55.9 years; P = .26). In addition, hematologic or solid organ cancer developed in significantly more patients with vs. without gammopathy (8/29 [28%] vs. 5/77 [6%]; P = .003). Among the subtypes of gammopathy, IgG monoclonal gammopathy had the highest proportion of patients with subsequent cancer development (4 of 8 patients, 50%). Study limitations include a retrospective, single-institution design with a limited number of patients. Overall, our data show a high prevalence of gammopathy in patients with PG; those patients additionally had an increased incidence of cancer, especially hematologic cancer."
+4796,skin cancer,38795156,Based on scRNA-seq and bulk RNA-seq to establish tumor immune microenvironment-associated signature of skin melanoma and predict immunotherapy response.,"Skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), a form of skin cancer, ranks among the most formidable and lethal malignancies. Exploring tumor microenvironment (TME)-based prognostic indicators would help improve the efficacy of immunotherapy for SKCM patients. This study analyzed SKCM scRNA-seq data to cluster non-malignant cells that could be used to explore the TME into nine immune/stromal cell types, including B cells, CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells, dendritic cells, endothelial cells, Fibroblasts, macrophages, neurons, and natural killer (NK) cells. Using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we employed SKCM expression profiling to identify differentially expressed immune-associated genes (DEIAGs), which were then incorporated into weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to investigate TME-associated hub genes. Discover candidate small molecule drugs based on pivotal genes. Tumor immune microenvironment-associated genes (TIMAGs) for constructing TIMAS were identified and validated. Finally, the characteristics of TIAMS subgroups and the ability of TIMAS to predict immunotherapy outcomes were analyzed. We identified five TIMAGs (CD86, CD80, SEMA4D, C1QA, and IRF1) and used them to construct TIMAS. In addition, five potential SKCM drugs were identified. The results showed that TIMAS-low patients were associated with immune-related signaling pathways, high MUC16 mutation frequency, high T cell infiltration, and M1 macrophages, and were more favorable for immunotherapy. Collectively, TIMAS constructed by comprehensive analysis of scRNA-seq and bulk RNA-seq data is a promising marker for predicting ICI treatment outcomes and improving individualized therapy for SKCM patients."

While existing products serve this purpose, there is a growing need to enhance their efficacy while minimizing potential systemic absorption of UV filters and associated toxicological risks. Liposomal-based formulations have emerged as a promising approach to address these challenges and develop advanced photoprotective products. These vesicular systems offer versatility in carrying both hydrophilic and lipophilic UV filters, enabling the creation of broad-spectrum sunscreens. Moreover, their composition based on phospholipids, resembling that of the stratum corneum, facilitates adherence to the skin's surface layers, thereby improving photoprotective efficacy. The research discussed in this review underscores the significant advantages of liposomes in photoprotection, including their ability to limit the systemic absorption of UV filters, enhance formulation stability, and augment photoprotective effects. However, despite these benefits, there remains a notable gap between the potential of liposomal systems and their utilization in sunscreen development. Consequently, this review emphasizes the importance of leveraging liposomes and related vesicular systems as innovative tools for crafting novel and more efficient photoprotective formulations."

Hence, it is imperative to develop new, more efficient, and safer therapies. Bee venom has proven to have multiple and synergistic bioactivities, including antitumor effects. Nevertheless, some toxic effects have been associated with its administration. To tackle these issues, in this work, bee venom-loaded niosomes were developed, for cancer treatment. The vesicles had a small (150 nm) and homogeneous (polydispersity index of 0.162) particle size, and revealed good therapeutic efficacy in in vitro gastric, colorectal, breast, lung, and cervical cancer models (inhibitory concentrations between 12.37 ng/mL and 14.72 ng/mL). Additionally, they also revealed substantial anti-inflammatory activity (inhibitory concentration of 28.98 ng/mL), effects complementary to direct antitumor activity. Niosome safety was also assessed, both in vitro (skin, liver, and kidney cells) and ex vivo (hen's egg chorioallantoic membrane), and results showed that compound encapsulation increased its safety. Hence, small, and homogeneous bee venom-loaded niosomes were successfully developed, with substantial anticancer and anti-inflammatory effects, making them potentially promising primary or adjuvant cancer therapies. Future research should focus on evaluating the potential of the developed platform in in vivo models."

Due to the success of immune checkpoint inhibition in MCC, the importance of immunotherapy and vaccines in MCC has increased in recent years. In this article, we aim to present the current progress and perspectives in the development of vaccines for this disease. Here, we summarize and discuss the current literature and ongoing clinical trials investigating vaccines against MCC. We identified 10 articles through a PubMed search investigating a vaccine against MCC. From the international clinical trial database Clinical.Trials.gov, we identified nine studies on vaccines for the management of MCC, of which seven are actively recruiting. Most of the identified studies investigating a vaccine against MCC are preclinical or phase 1/2 trials. The vaccine principles mainly included DNA- and (synthetic) peptide-based vaccines, but RNA-based vaccines, oncolytic viruses, and the combination of vaccines and immunotherapy are also under investigation for the treatment of MCC. Although the management of MCC is changing, when compared to times before the approval of immune checkpoint inhibitors, it will still take some time before the first MCC vaccine is ready for approval."

We aimed to perform in-depth immunophenotyping of major cell subsets present in human peripheral blood of COVID-19 patients and controls using PD1, TIM3, LAG3, TIGIT, and CD200R, as well as CD39, as markers for the purinergic signaling pathway. We studied 76 COVID-19 patients and 12 healthy controls using peripheral blood mononuclear cells on flow cytometry. Univariable and multivariable statistics were performed. All ICPMs studied were significantly overexpressed on different cell subsets of COVID-19 patients when compared with healthy controls. Elevated lactate dehydrogenase; C-reactive protein; age; and high expression of CD45+, CD39+CD45+, TIM3+CD39+CD4+CD45+, and TIM3+CD39+CD8+CD3+CD4+ cells were significantly associated with severe COVID-19. On multivariable analysis, however, only high expression of CD39+CD45+ (OR 51.4, 95% CI 1.5 to 1763) and TIM3+CD39+CD4+CD3+CD45+ (OR 22.6, 95% CI 1.8 to 277) cells was an independent predictor for severe COVID-19. In conclusion, numerous ICPMs are overexpressed in COVID-19 patients when compared with healthy controls, suggesting a pathophysiological role of these molecules in SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, only TIM3 in co-expression with CD39 remained as a significant independent prognostic ICPM on multivariable analysis. The flow cytometric evaluation of TIM3+CD39+CD4+CD3+CD45+, as well as CD39+CD45+, is a powerful tool for the prognostication of COVID-19 patients on hospital admission."

+4805,skin cancer,38792946,Multiple Primary Melanoma Associated with CDKN2A Mutation-Case Report and Review of the Literature.,"The CDKN2A gene remains understudied in melanoma compared to BRAF alterations. Inactivation of this tumor suppressor gene through homozygous deletions in the 9p21 chromosomal region leads to cellular proliferation and disrupts pro-apoptotic pathways. Genetic changes in CDKN2A are linked to multiple primary melanomas (MPM), with patients diagnosed with melanoma facing an elevated risk of developing additional primaries. We present the rare case of a 72-year-old Caucasian woman with nine metastasizing melanomas across diverse anatomical sites, posing a diagnostic challenge. Initial diagnosis in 2022 revealed ulcerated superficial spreading melanomas, progressing to intradermal and papillary dermal populations with neurotropism and angiotropism by early 2023. Lymph node metastases were identified, classifying the condition as pT3b N3b. Subsequent assessments in April 2023 revealed clinically suspicious melanocytic lesions diagnosed as intradermal and traumatized junctional nevi. In late 2023, cutaneous pigmented lesions and subcutaneous metastases were confirmed as nodular nevoid low-CSD multiple melanomas. Fluorescence in situ hybridization testing revealed homozygous CDKN2A deletion, necessitating close multidisciplinary collaboration for an optimized care plan for effective monitoring and intervention in this intricate clinical scenario. In summary, this case report highlights the diagnostic challenges of MPM in a single patient. Stressing the importance of immuno-histochemistry and CDKN2A genetic testing, our findings underscore the crucial role of these tools in accurately distinguishing malignant melanocytic proliferations from nevi and characterizing MPM cases."

It is crucial to tailor interventions to meet the genuine needs of patients by thoroughly assessing their history, psychological state, and potential surgical benefits, all while considering the associated risks of complications. This systematic review aims to summarize the available evidence on outcomes, complications, and quality of life after penile augmentation surgery, examining both minimally invasive and more radical techniques. A search of the PubMed and Scopus databases, focusing on English-language papers published in the last 15 years, was performed in December 2023.

Their side effects are mainly due to the triggering of autoimmunity, which are mild or moderate and include skin rash, colitis, hepatitis, endocrine disorders, myositis, interstitial lung disorder, etc., in most cases during the course of therapy. Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is rare in cancer patients treated with ICIs. Fifty patients with ICI-related encephalitis were identified in a recent review. Herein, we report a case of pembrolizumab associated with AE with a favorable short-term prognosis. A 68-year-old man with malignant metastatic melanoma achieved complete remission after pembrolizumab treatment. However, 10 months after pembrolizumab cessation due to grade 3 diarrhea, he developed confusion, an altered mental status, progressive memory loss, and gait disturbance. He was admitted to the neurologic department, and a comprehensive neurological workup, brain magnetic resonance imaging, cerebral fluid analysis, EEG, and blood test allowed the diagnosis of autoimmune encephalitis. The patient was treated with plasmapheresis, a high dose of intravenous steroids, and intravenous immunoglobulins. The patient improved, and he is now well with a performance status of 1.

Histologically, spindled melanocytes surrounded by a collagenous stroma are observed. Compared with other types of melanoma, the desmoplastic types presents greater local aggression, and is more prone to local recurrence, but has a lower risk of lymph node metastasis. Early detection, accurate staging, and proper surgical management are the main factors associated with higher survival rates in melanoma patients. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) has proven to be a valuable imaging tool in the diagnosis of skin neoplasms, being useful for orientating practitioners towards the diagnosis of melanoma and indicating the necessity of performing a diagnostic biopsy. We present the case of 52-year-old woman, who presented to the dermatology department with an irregular, dark-colored plaque in the right deltoid region. Dermoscopy showed asymmetry with an atypical network and some areas of regression. RCM revealed pagetoid cells in the upper epidermis, cell atypia, non-edged papillae, dermal inflammation, and nucleated cells in the dermis, which are highly suggestive of melanoma. A biopsy was also performed. A histopathology exam confirmed the diagnosis of superficially spreading melanoma with a desmoplastic component, and revealed a Breslow index of 0.9 mm, Clark level IV, an absence of mitoses, angiolymphatic invasion and regression, and complete excision. The CT and PET-CT scans were negative. A biopsy of the axillary sentinel lymph node was conducted, with a negative result obtained, establishing the IB stage of the disease.

UV filters in sunscreens play a major role in mitigating the risks that solar ultraviolet ra-diation poses to the human organism. While empirically effective, multiple adverse effects of these compounds are discussed in the media and in scientific research. UV filters are blamed for the dis-ruption of endocrine processes and vitamin D synthesis, damaging effects on the environment, induction of acne and neurotoxic and carcinogenic effects. Some of these allegations are based on scientific facts while others are simply arbitrary. This is especially dangerous considering the risks of exposing unprotected skin to the sun. In summary, UV filters approved by the respective governing bodies are safe for human use and their proven skin cancer-preventing properties make them in-dispensable for sensible sun protection habits. Nonetheless, compounds like octocrylene and ben-zophenone-3 that are linked to the harming of marine ecosystems could be omitted from skin care regimens in favor of the myriad of non-toxic UV filters."

Tagawa.,"Prostate cancer is one of the most challenging malignancies due to its high incidence and prevalence, as it is the most frequently diagnosed non-skin cancer in men. The timely identification of prostate cancer and its metastasis is paramount for ensuring favorable outcomes for patients. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) emerges as a promising biomarker for its detection, due to its specificity. This makes it an ideal target for the early identification of a metastatic phenotype. Situated on the membrane of tumor cells, PSMA facilitates the attachment of PSMA-targeting particles, enabling their detection through positron emission tomography (PET) scans with relative ease. Utilizing these imaging agents in conjunction with PET scans enhances the accuracy of prostate cancer tumor detection compared to PET scans alone. The advancement in prostate cancer imaging has paved the way for innovative treatment modalities. Prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeted radionuclide therapies (PSMA-TRT) exploit PSMA imaging agents to target identified prostate cancer malignancies with precise radiation, thereby reducing or eliminating the tumor mass. PSMA-TRT exhibits significant promise in prostate cancer therapy, evident from the notable declines in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels post treatment. However, PSMA-TRT carries both beneficial and adverse effects. While it represents a substantial leap forward in tumor cell imaging, PSMA-based antigens, being larger particles than ligands, offer prolonged imaging capabilities. Yet, the long-term effects of PSMA-TRT remain unknown, with the short-term adverse ones including fatigue, nausea, pain flares, and potential radiation exposure to others."

Pro-angiogenic factors, including VEGF, PlGF, FGF-2, IL-8, Ang, TGF-β, PDGF, integrins, MMPs, and PAF, modulate angiogenesis and contribute to melanoma metastasis. Additionally, cells within the TME, such as cancer-associated fibroblasts, mast cells, and melanoma-associated macrophages, influence tumor angiogenesis and progression. Anti-angiogenic therapies, while showing promise, face challenges such as drug resistance and tumor-induced activation of alternative angiogenic pathways. Rational combinations of anti-angiogenic agents and immunotherapies are being explored to overcome resistance. Biomarker identification for treatment response remains crucial for personalized therapies. This review highlights the complexity of angiogenesis in melanoma and underscores the need for innovative therapeutic approaches tailored to the dynamic TME."

According to their histopathological characteristics, sebaceous gland tumors can be classified into adenoma as a benign tumor and epithelioma as a malignant tumor. Sebaceous epithelioma is distinguished from sebaceous adenoma by containing 90% or more reserve cells. However, this simple numerical criterion is insufficient to histologically distinguish between epitheliomas and adenomas. In addition, sebaceoma in humans, a similar tumor to sebaceous epithelioma, is a term used for tumors with more than 50% of reserve cells, unlike epithelioma. Therefore, we aimed to compare and characterize the histological and immunohistochemical profiles of comprehensive sebaceous adenoma, epithelioma, and borderline tumors that have more than 50% but less than 90% of reserve cells. A total of 14 canine sebaceous tumors were diagnosed as seven adenomas, four borderline tumors, and three epitheliomas. Histologically, the sebaceous adenomas showed nodules consisting of mature sebocytes surrounded by monolayer basaloid cells. In contrast, the portion of the reserve cells was increased, the portion of lipidized cells was decreased, and the majority of lipidized cells were found to be immature in sebaceous epithelioma. In the sebaceous adenomas, necrosis was not observed and mitotic figures were rarely seen. However, necrosis and mitotic figures were highly frequent in both borderline tumor and sebaceous epithelioma. Immunohistochemistry revealed that borderline tumor and sebaceous epithelioma showed significantly higher expression against Ki-67 than sebaceous adenoma. We conclude that it is more accurate to employ the cut-off value of 50% reserve cells in humans rather than the current 90% reserve cells for classifying sebaceous gland tumors in dogs, thereby providing new insight into the characterization of the sebaceous gland tumors."

Radiofrequency (RF) treatment, known for its ability to enhance collagen fiber production through thermal mechanisms and increase heat shock protein (HSP) expression, has emerged as a promising method for skin rejuvenation. Additionally, RF activates Piezo1, an ion channel implicated in macrophage polarization toward an M2 phenotype and enhanced TGF-β production. This study investigated the impact of RF treatment on HSP47 and HSP90 expression, known stimulators of DEJ protein expression.

Quercetin has demonstrated notable anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and pharmacological effects across various cancer types. However, the intricate relationship between quercetin's anti-cancer properties and ganglioside expression in melanoma remains incompletely understood. In this study, quercetin manifests specific anti-proliferative, anti-migratory, and cell-cycle arrest effects, inducing mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis in two melanoma cancer cell lines. This positions quercetin as a promising candidate for treating malignant melanoma. Moreover, our investigation indicates that quercetin significantly reduces the expression levels of ganglioside GD3 and its synthetic enzyme. Notably, this reduction is achieved through the inhibition of the FAK/paxillin/Akt signaling pathway, which plays a crucial role in cancer development. Taken together, our findings suggest that quercetin may be a potent anti-cancer drug candidate for the treatment of malignant melanoma."

Herein, we investigated the anti-cancer effect of Ibrutinib on melanoma cell lines. Cytotoxicity was evaluated using the MTT assay. Apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, cell proliferation, and cell cycle stages were determined by flow cytometry. LDH release and Caspase 3/7 activity were determined by colorimetric and luminescent assays, respectively. Cell migration was evaluated by wound scratch assay. Gene expression was determined by real-time PCR. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of melanoma clinical samples was performed using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID). MTT assays showed that Ibrutinib is toxic for MeWo, SK-MEL-28, and WM164 cells. The annexin V/PI staining, Caspase 3/7 activity, and LDH release in MeWo cells revealed that apoptosis is the primary mechanism of death caused by Ibrutinib. Corroborating such observation, we identified that Ibrutinib treatment impairs the mitochondrial membrane potential of such cells and significantly increases the transcriptional levels of the pro-apoptotic factors "

In addition, it affects inflammatory processes and affects the vessels and heart. In pharmaceutical answer to this, statins are considered a first-stage treatment method to block cholesterol synthesis. Many times, additional drugs are also used with this method to lower lipid concentrations in order to achieve certain values of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Recent advances in photodynamic therapy (PDT) as a new cancer treatment have gained the therapy much attention as a minimally invasive and highly selective method. Photodynamic therapy has been proven more effective than chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy alone in numerous studies. Consequently, photodynamic therapy research has expanded in many fields of medicine due to its increased therapeutic effects and reduced side effects. Currently, PDT is the most commonly used therapy for treating age-related macular degeneration, as well as inflammatory diseases, and skin infections. The effectiveness of photodynamic therapy against a number of pathogens has also been demonstrated in various studies. Also, PDT has been used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and hyperplasia of the arterial intima. This review evaluates the effectiveness and usefulness of photodynamic therapy in cardiovascular diseases. According to the analysis, photodynamic therapy is a promising approach for treating cardiovascular diseases and may lead to new clinical trials and management standards. Our review addresses the used therapeutic strategies and also describes new therapeutic strategies to reduce the cardiovascular burden that is induced by lipids."

Sézary syndrome (SS) is an aggressive and rare form of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) characterized by an erythroderma and the presence of atypical cerebriform T cells named Sézary cells in skin and blood. Most of the available treatments for SS are not curative, which means there is an urgent need for the development of novel efficient therapies. Recently, targeting cancer metabolism has emerged as a promising strategy for cancer therapy. This is due to the accumulating evidence that metabolic reprogramming highly contributes to tumor progression. Genes play a pivotal role in regulating metabolic processes, and alterations in these genes can disrupt the delicate balance of metabolic pathways, potentially contributing to cancer development. In this review, we discuss the importance of targeting energy metabolism in tumors and the currently available data on the metabolism of Sézary cells, paving the way for potential new therapeutic approaches aiming to improve clinical outcomes for patients suffering from SS."

Through insertion or recombination leading to deletions and other chromosomal aberrations, they can cause genetic instability. The extent to which they thereby exert regulatory influence on cellular functions is unclear. To better characterize TEs in processes such as carcinogenesis, we used the well-established Xiphophorus melanoma model. By transcriptome sequencing, we show that an increasing total number in transposons correlates with progression of malignancy in melanoma samples from Xiphophorus interspecific hybrids. Further, by comparing the presence of TEs in the parental genomes of "

The potential use of liquid biopsies in identifying biomarkers is increasingly being recognized. Here, we present a head-to-head comparison of several techniques to analyze circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in 20 patients with metastatic melanoma. In this study, we investigated whether diagnostic leukapheresis (DLA) combined with multimarker flow cytometry (FCM) increased the detection of CTCs in blood compared to the CellSearch platform. Additionally, we characterized cfDNA at the level of somatic mutations, extent of aneuploidy and genome-wide DNA methylation. Both CTCs and cfDNA measures were compared to tumor markers and extracranial tumor burden on radiological imaging. Compared to the CellSearch method applied on peripheral blood, DLA combined with FCM increased the proportion of patients with detectable CTCs from 35% to 70% (P = 0.06). However, the median percentage of cells that could be recovered by the DLA procedure was 29%. Alternatively, cfDNA mutation and methylation analysis detected tumor load in the majority of patients (90% and 93% of samples successfully analyzed, respectively). The aneuploidy score was positive in 35% of all patients. From all tumor measurements in blood, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were significantly correlated to variant allele frequency (P = 0.004). Furthermore, the presence of CTCs in DLA was associated with tumor burden (P < 0.001), whereas the presence of CTCs in peripheral blood was associated with number of lesions on radiological imaging (P < 0.001). In conclusion, DLA tended to increase the proportion of patients with detectable CTCs but was also associated with low recovery. Both cfDNA and CTCs were correlated with clinical parameters such as LDH levels and extracranial tumor burden."

+4830,skin cancer,38789467,Rosacea is strongly associated with melanoma in Caucasians.,"Rosacea is often considered a cosmetic problem but is known to be associated with a variety of comorbidities. To identify such risks, we generated two age- and sex-matched real-world cohorts of 122,444 patients each with and without rosacea. In contrast to earlier studies, we found significant associations with malignant melanoma (OR 6.02, 95% CI 5.76-6.32). This association does not exist for an Asian sub-cohort, which could explain previous inconclusive or conflicting reports. Several strongly associated comorbidities like visual disturbances (ICD-10: H53-H54; OR 4.80, 4.68-4.92), metabolic disorders (E73-E79; OR 3.17, 3.11-3.22), joint problems (M25; OR 4.16, 4.08-4.25) and type 2 diabetes (E11; OR 1.62, 1.58-1.65) should be watched as a risk for rosacea patients. Rosacea is associated with some comorbidities and ethnicity may be a risk factor in melanoma development. The retrospective nature of this study and the sole use of ICD-10 code based filtering calls for future validation of our findings. Additionally, confounding factors such as skin type and previous UV exposure should be included in future studies."

+4835,skin cancer,38788712,A RIPK1-specific PROTAC degrader achieves potent antitumor activity by enhancing immunogenic cell death.,"Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) functions as a critical stress sentinel that coordinates cell survival, inflammation, and immunogenic cell death (ICD). Although the catalytic function of RIPK1 is required to trigger cell death, its non-catalytic scaffold function mediates strong pro-survival signaling. Accordingly, cancer cells can hijack RIPK1 to block necroptosis and evade immune detection. We generated a small-molecule proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) that selectively degraded human and murine RIPK1. PROTAC-mediated depletion of RIPK1 deregulated TNFR1 and TLR3/4 signaling hubs, accentuating the output of NF-κB, MAPK, and IFN signaling. Additionally, RIPK1 degradation simultaneously promoted RIPK3 activation and necroptosis induction. We further demonstrated that RIPK1 degradation enhanced the immunostimulatory effects of radio- and immunotherapy by sensitizing cancer cells to treatment-induced TNF and interferons. This promoted ICD, antitumor immunity, and durable treatment responses. Consequently, targeting RIPK1 by PROTACs emerges as a promising approach to overcome radio- or immunotherapy resistance and enhance anticancer therapies."

Therefore, in the search of novel agents capable of reducing melanoma spreading, PDGF-C/NRP-1 interaction was investigated as a potential druggable target. Since the PDGF-C region involved in NRP-1 binding is not yet known, based on the sequence and structural homology between PDGF-C and vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), we hypothesized that the NRP-1 b1 domain region involved in the interaction with VEGF-A might also be required for PDGF-C binding. Hence, this region was selected from the protein crystal structure and used as target in the molecular docking procedure. In the following virtual screening, compounds from a DrugBank database were used as query ligands to identify agents potentially capable of disrupting NRP-1/PDGF-C interaction. Among the top 45 candidates with the highest affinity, five drugs were selected based on the safety profile, lack of hormonal effects, and current availability in the market: the antipsychotic pimozide, antidiabetic gliclazide, antiallergic cromolyn sodium, anticancer tyrosine kinase inhibitor entrectinib, and antihistamine azelastine. Analysis of drug influence on PDGF-C in vitro binding to NRP-1 and PDGF-C induced migration of human melanoma cells expressing NRP-1, indicated gliclazide and entrectinib as the most specific agents that were active at clinically achievable and non-toxic concentrations. Both drugs also reverted PDGF-C ability to stimulate extracellular matrix invasion by melanoma cells resistant to BRAF inhibitors. The inhibitory effect on tumor cell motility involved a decrease of p130Cas phosphorylation, a signal transduction pathway activated by PDGF-C-mediated stimulation of NRP-1."

Intra-oral minor salivary gland tumors (IMSGTs), while considered rare in the general population are relatively more common when compared to all the other extra-oral sites. Pleomorphic adenoma, as seen in the index patient, is the most commonly diagnosed benign IMSGT. Intra-oral minor salivary gland tumors are not uncommon and depending on their size, nature, and location can be associated with severe limitation of the Patient's ability to breathe, speak clearly, and/or swallow and consequent severe morbidity and even mortality. In addition to these deleterious effects, they present a major surgical challenge to the surgeon, who has to determine the safest, most feasible access to ensure complete, or near-complete excision, as well as to the anesthetist, who needs to secure a definitive airway through the nose or mouth, both of which could be significantly restricted by the presence of the tumor. The aim is to present our successful management of one of the largest intra-oral minor salivary gland tumors documented in the literature, highlighting the specific measures we undertook to tackle the peculiar surgical and anesthetic challenges we faced. It had been two years since surgery and the patient is thriving with a markedly improved quality of life and no features of recurrence. The patient is a 50-year-old male with a slowly growing painless, left palatal mass in the roof of the mouth of 10 years duration with recurrent spontaneous bloody discharge effluent and snoring. There was an associated history of dysphagia to solid with associated choking spells, a left-sided facial asymmetry with no cheek swelling, odynophagia, sore throat, or difficulty with breathing. There was ipsilateral loss of upper incisors and dental anarchy about two years before presentation. No other nasal, otologic, or ophthalmic symptoms were present. No neck swelling, stiffness, cough, or chest symptoms. The oropharyngeal physical examination was highly restricted due to the intra-oral size of the mass. Figure 1. There was facial asymmetry with a bulge of the left maxilla, left-sided levels 1b and 2 non-tender lymph node enlargements, freely mobile, not adhered to the skin. A craniofacial CT scan revealed extensive isodense heterogeneously enhancing intra-oral soft tissue mass occupying the entire palate/oral cavity and encroaching laterally on the masticator and the parapharyngeal space with erosion of the left maxillary floor and hyoid bone Figure 2. The patient had an excision biopsy of the palatal mass with a free margin. No frozen section at the time of surgery. Histology revealed Pleomorphic adenoma and was followed up for 2 years with no evidence of recurrence. Prognosticators are delay in presentation leading to an increase in size of the mass and severe limitation of the patient's ability to breathe, speak clearly, and/or swallow and consequent severe morbidity and even mortality, the surgeon not being overwhelmed, the skillful Anaesthesist that could maneuver the nasal cavity without us doing tracheostomy and the successful outcome of the surgery."

+4839,skin cancer,38787972,Molecular mechanisms of human papilloma virus related skin cancers: A review.,"The human papillomavirus (HPV) belongs to the Papillomaviridae family of viruses which includes small, double-stranded DNA viral agents. Approximately 90% of HPV infections occur asymptomatically and resolve spontaneously. However, infection with high-risk viral strains can lead to the development of preneoplastic lesions, with an increased propensity to become cancerous. The location of these malignancies includes the oral cavity, cervix, vagina, anus, and vulva, among others. The role of HPV in carcinogenesis has already been demonstrated for the aforementioned neoplasia. However, regarding skin malignancies, the mechanisms that pinpoint the role played by HPV in their initiation and progression still elude our sight. Until now, the only fully understood mechanism of viral cutaneous oncogenesis is that of human herpes virus 8 infection in Kaposi sarcoma. In the case of HPV infection, however, most data focus on the role that beta strains exhibit in the oncogenesis of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), along with ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and other environmental or genetic factors. However, recent epidemiological investigations have highlighted that HPV could also trigger the onset of other non-melanocytic, for example, basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and/or melanocytic skin cancers, for example, melanoma. Herein, we provide an overview of the role played by HPV in benign and malignant skin lesions with a particular focus on the main epidemiological, pathophysiological, and molecular aspects delineating the involvement of HPV in skin cancers."

Anoikis is a specific pattern of programmed cell death associated with tumor regeneration, migration, and metastasis. Nevertheless, limited research has been conducted to investigate the function of anoikis in SKCM. Anoikis-related genes (ARGs) were extracted from Genecards to identify SKCM subtypes and to explore the immune microenvironment between the different subtypes. Prognostic models of SKCM were developed by LASSO COX regression analysis. Subsequently, the predictive value of risk scores in SKCM and the association with immunotherapy were further explored. Finally, the expression of 6 ARGs involved in the model construction was detected by immunohistochemistry and PCR. This study identified 20 ARGs significantly associated with SKCM prognosis and performed disease subtype analysis of samples based on these genes, different subtypes exhibited significantly different clinical features and tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) landscapes. The risk score prognostic model was generated by further screening and identification of the six ARGs. The model exhibited a high degree of sensitivity and specificity to predict the prognosis of individuals with SKCM. These high- and low-risk populations showed different immune statuses and drug sensitivity. Further immunohistochemical and PCR experiments identified significant differential expression of the six ARGs in tumor and normal samples. Anoikis-based features may serve as novel prognostic biomarkers for SKCM and may provide important new insights for survival prediction and individualized treatment development."

+4851,skin cancer,38787405,Evaluation of the inflammatory parameters as potential biomarkers of systemic inflammation extent and the disease severity in psoriasis patients.,"The disease severity of psoriasis is mainly assessed subjectively via  psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) and body surface area (BSA), while an optimal measure of cutaneous response, may overlook systemic inflammation in psoriasis patients. The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR), monocyte to high density lipoprotein ratio (MHR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) exhibit notable associations with the inflammation severity in multiple diseases. The aim of this retrospective study was to explore the associations between inflammatory parameters and the skin lesions' severity of psoriasis. After analysis, we found that patients with psoriasis had higher NLR, MLR, PLR, MHR, and SII levels compared to the control group. At baseline, the parameters of NLR (r = 0.124, P = 0.003), MLR (r = 0.153, P < 0.001), MHR (r = 0.217, P < 0.001) and SII (r = 0.141, P = 0.001) had a positive correlation with PASI in psoriasis patients. At the same time, we analyzed the patients who received different systemic therapy. We observed a significant decrease in NLR, PLR, MLR, and SII in psoriasis patients after treatment. Notably, TNF-α inhibitors and IL-17A inhibitors subgroups showed a more significant reduction than IL-23/IL-12/23 inhibitors and MTX medication. Additionally, we found the change of NLR (r = 0.194, P < 0.001), PLR (r = 0.104, P = 0.014), MLR (r = 0.191, P < 0.001), MHR (r = 0.106, P = 0.012), and SII (r = 0.228, P < 0.001) had a positive correlation with the change of PASI in psoriasis patients. In conclusion, this study suggests that NLR, MLR, and SII may serve as useful biomarkers for assessing systemic inflammation extent and disease severity in psoriasis patients."

Standard treatment includes both surgical and non-surgical interventions. We determined the clearance rate for SCCis and residual SCCis identified on frozen section during Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) after treatment with topical fluorouracil 5% cream (5-FU). All MMS cases were initiated for biopsy-proven invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). A retrospective chart review was conducted from January 2017-February 2024 at Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC) to identify patients with SCCis who were treated with topical 5-FU as primary therapy or adjuvant therapy (AT) for residual SCCis post-MMS for invasive SCC. 41 patients were included (80% males, 70.1 ± 11.8 years). The average follow-up time for the primary therapy group was 25.4 ± 12.8 months, and for the post-MMS AT group 22.5 ± 11.1 months. In the group treated with topical 5-FU as primary therapy (n = 28), 27 patients (96.43%, 95% confidence interval: 81.65-99.91%) achieved complete clearance. One patient had recurrence at 8 months post-treatment. Of the patients in the post-MMS adjuvant treatment group (n = 13), 12 (92.3% clearance, 95% confidence interval 63.97-99.81%) achieved complete clearance.

Recently, hydrogel has received more attention toward cancer therapy due to its specific characteristics, such as decreased toxicity, fewer side effects, and better biocompatibility drug delivery to the particular tumor location. Researchers globally reported various investigations on hydrogel research for tumor diagnosis. The hydrogel-based multilayer platform with controlled nanostructure has received more attention for its antitumor effect. Chitosan and alginate play a leading role in the formation of the cross-link in a hydrogel. Also, they help in the stability of the hydrogel. This review discusses the properties, preparation, biocompatibility, and bioavailability of various research and clinical approaches of the multipolymer hydrogel made of alginate and chitosan for breast cancer treatment. With a focus on cases of breast cancer and the recovery rate, there is a need to find out the role of hydrogel in drug delivery for breast cancer treatment."

Genetics are the single largest risk factor in psoriasis, with Genome-Wide Association (GWAS) studies showing that many psoriasis risk genes lie along the IL-23/Th17 axis. Potential psoriasis risk genes determined through GWAS can be annotated and characterised using functional genomics, allowing the identification of novel drug targets and the repurposing of existing drugs. This review is focused on the IL-23/Th17 axis, providing an insight into key cell types, cytokines, and intracellular signaling pathways involved. This includes examination of currently available biological treatments, time to relapse post drug withdrawal, and rates of primary/secondary drug failure, showing the need for greater understanding of the underlying genetic mechanisms of psoriasis and how they can impact treatment. This could allow for patient stratification towards the treatment most likely to reduce the burden of disease for the longest period possible."
+4860,skin cancer,38785928,Feature Matching of Microsecond-Pulsed Magnetic Fields Combined with Fe,"The combination of magnetic fields and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to kill cancer cells by magneto-mechanical force represents a novel therapy, offering advantages such as non-invasiveness, among others. Pulsed magnetic fields (PMFs) hold promise for application in this therapy due to advantages such as easily adjustable parameters; however, they suffer from the drawback of narrow pulse width. In order to fully exploit the potential of PMFs and MNPs in this therapy, while maximizing therapeutic efficacy within the constraints of the narrow pulse width, a feature-matching theory is proposed, encompassing the matching of three aspects: (1) MNP volume and critical volume of Brownian relaxation, (2) relaxation time and pulse width, and (3) MNP shape and the intermittence of PMF. In the theory, a microsecond-PMF generator was developed, and four kinds of MNPs were selected for in vitro cell experiments. The results demonstrate that the killing rate of the experimental group meeting the requirements of the theory is at least 18% higher than the control group. This validates the accuracy of our theory and provides valuable guidance for the further application of PMFs in this therapy."

This study concisely traces the evolution of microwave radiometers within the medical sector. By analyzing a plethora of pertinent studies and contrasting their strengths, weaknesses, and performance metrics, this research identifies the primary factors limiting temperature measurement accuracy. The review establishes the critical technologies necessary to overcome these limitations, examines the current state and prospective advancements of each technology, and proposes comprehensive implementation strategies. The discussion elucidates that the precise measurement of human surface and subcutaneous tissue temperatures using an MWR system is a complex challenge, necessitating an integration of antenna directionality for temperature measurement, radiometer error correction, hardware configuration, and the calibration and precision of a multilayer tissue forward and inversion method. This study delves into the pivotal technologies for non-invasive human tissue temperature monitoring in the microwave frequency range, offering an effective approach for the precise assessment of human epidermal and subcutaneous temperatures, and develops a non-contact microwave protocol for gauging subcutaneous tissue temperature distribution. It is anticipated that mass-produced measurement systems will deliver substantial economic and societal benefits."

Affected areas typically include regions with sparse hair and pale or depigmented skin. The significance of spontaneous canine cutaneous SCC as a model for its human counterpart is underscored by its resemblance. This study assesses the expression of key markers-Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), Cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2), and Ki-67-in canine cutaneous SCC. Our objective is to investigate the association between their expression levels and classical clinicopathological parameters, unraveling the intricate relationships among these molecular markers. In our retrospective analysis of 37 cases, EGFR overexpression manifested in 43.2% of cases, while Cox-2 exhibited overexpression in 97.3%. The EGFR, Cox-2 overexpression, and Ki-67 proliferation indices, estimated through immunohistochemistry, displayed a significant association with the histological grade, but only EGFR labeling is associated with the presence of lymphovascular emboli. The Ki-67 labeling index expression exhibited an association with EGFR and Cox-2. These findings propose that EGFR, Cox-2, and Ki-67 hold promise as valuable markers in canine SCC. EGFR, Cox-2, and Ki-67 may serve as indicators of disease progression, offering insights into the malignancy of a lesion. The implications extend to the potential therapeutic targeting of EGFR and Cox-2 in managing canine SCC. Further exploration of these insights is warranted due to their translational relevance and the development of targeted interventions in the context of canine SCC."

Conducted between 2019 and 2022, this descriptive, quantitative observational research analyzed 90 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples from the Pius Brinzeu County Emergency Clinical Hospital, Timisoara, including 45 samples of advanced-stage melanoma and 45 samples of pigmented nevi. miRNA purification and analysis were performed using the miRNeasy Kit and the Human Cancer PathwayFinder miScript miRNA PCR Array, with statistical analysis (including logistic regression) to determine associations with cancer staging, such as high Breslow index risk, number of mitoses, and vascular invasion. After the analysis and comparison of 180 miRNA gene subtypes, we selected 10 of the most upregulated and 10 most downregulated genes. The results revealed that hsa-miR-133b, hsa-miR-335-5p, hsa-miR-200a-3p, and hsa-miR-885-5p were significantly upregulated in melanoma samples, with fold changes ranging from 1.09 to 1.12. Conversely, hsa-miR-451a and hsa-miR-29b-3p showed notable downregulation in melanoma, with fold changes of 0.90 and 0.92, respectively. Additionally, logistic regression analysis identified hsa-miR-29b-3p (OR = 2.51) and hsa-miR-200a-3p (OR = 2.10) as significantly associated with an increased risk of a high Breslow index, while hsa-miR-127-3p and hsa-miR-451a were associated with a reduced risk. Conclusively, this study underscores the significant alterations in miRNA expression in melanoma compared to benign nevi and highlights the potential of specific miRNAs as biomarkers for melanoma progression. The identification of miRNAs with significant associations to melanoma characteristics suggests their utility in developing non-invasive, cost-effective diagnostic tools and in guiding therapeutic decisions, potentially improving patient outcomes in melanoma management."

This study aims to explore the variances of tumor characteristics and immune response markers among patients diagnosed with cutaneous squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) and basosquamous-cell carcinoma (BSC) with varying levels of sun exposure. The objective is to elucidate the potential influence of sun exposure on tumor progression and immune response in these types of carcinomas. We conducted a retrospective observational study that included 132 patients diagnosed with SCC and BSC. Participants were separated into high- and low-sun exposure groups. Tumor characteristics and immune response markers, including lymphocyte percentage (LY%), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), were assessed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Our findings revealed the interplay between sun exposure, inflammation, aging, and immune response. In 80% of cases, it was found that individuals had high sun exposure throughout their lifetime.

In comparative research, they can serve as tools for delineating the trajectories of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) across various cancer types. We undertook a secondary data analysis of a cohort of 1498 hospitalized cancer patients from 13 German cancer centers. We assessed the Physical and Mental Component Scores (PCS and MCS) of the 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey at baseline (t0), 6 (t1), and 12 months (t2), using multivariable generalized linear regression models. At baseline, the mean PCS and MCS values for all cancer patients were 37.1 and 44.3 points, respectively. We observed a significant improvement in PCS at t2 and in MCS at t1. The most substantial and significant improvements were noted among patients with gynecological cancers. We found a number of significant differences between cancer types at baseline, t1, and t2, with skin cancer patients performing best across all time points and lung cancer patients performing the worst. MCS trajectories showed less pronounced changes and differences between cancer types. Comparative analyses of HRQoL scores across different cancer types may serve as a valuable tool for enhancing health literacy, both among the general public and among cancer patients themselves."
+4866,skin cancer,38785402,Frequency of HLA-A*02:01 in the Brazilian population and its impact on uveal melanoma systemic treatment.,"Uveal melanoma is a rare malignancy originating from extracutaneous melanocytes on the uveal layer of the eyes. The incidence varies depending on the ethnic and racial global distribution, as uveal melanoma is more frequently diagnosed in non-Hispanic White subjects when compared with Hispanic, Asian, or Black individuals. Despite all the local effective management of uveal melanoma, roughly 50% of the cases will develop distant metastases. For these cases, the historical median overall survival is around 12 months. Recently, tebentafusp became the first therapy to receive Food and Drug Administration approval following a phase 3 trial demonstrating a continued long-term benefit for overall survival among adult HLA-A*02:01-positive patients with previously untreated metastatic uveal melanoma. Since 2021, high-resolution sequence-based HLA typing has been considered the gold standard for determining HLA alleles and haplotypes for the Brazilian Bone Marrow Donor Registry (REDOME) donors. To depict the HLA-A*02:01-positivity in Brazilian individuals, the REDOME database was queried out for the donors included from 2021 to 2023 and tested for HLA in high-resolution platforms. A total of 203, 44 donors were included and the frequency of the HLA-A*02:01 was 21.01%, much lower compared to the frequency in North Americans and Europeans (around 45%). Despite tebentafusp has demonstrated promising results in the treatment of uveal melanoma, the number of patients to benefit from this new approach can strongly vary by ethnic and racial issues. New strategies for the systemic treatment of advanced uveal melanoma have to be developed and tested as this disease still represents an unmet medical need."

Here, we report the unusual case of a young female patient who presented with PG in its ulcerative form, three weeks before the onset of AML. A 31-year-old female presented with a one-week history of painful perianal papulopustule that evolved into an irregular ulceration with violaceous borders, mucopurulent serosity, and erythematous surrounding skin. Laboratory work-up demonstrated elevated inflammatory markers and hyperleukocytosis, with no cytopenia, and normal peripheral blood smear. Two weeks later, the ulcer growth was noted with a similar ulceration at a venipuncture site. A complete blood count revealed pancytopenia, with 45% blasts on the peripheral blood smear. Skin biopsies showed an aseptic neutrophilic infiltrate in favor of PG. Intravenous methylprednisolone was administered with rapid resolution of the lesions. However, the patient died shortly after. The post-mortem results of bone marrow aspirate revealed AML, with immunohistochemistry of the skin lesions confirming the clonality of neutrophils derived from the leukemic clone.  This case highlights a distinctive clinical presentation, illustrating the manifestation of PG three weeks before the onset of AML in its ulcerative rather than bullous form, in a young female patient."

Legubicin exists mainly as a protein complex in plasma after entering the circulation. Compared with conventional doxorubicin at an equal molar dose in mice, we found higher exposure to doxorubicin in tumor (approximately 1.7-fold increase) while lower exposure in normal tissues (an ~3.26-, 3.46-, and 1.29-fold reduction in heart, kidney, and plasma, respectively) in tumor-bearing mice after intravenous injection of legubicin. The acute maximum tolerance dose (MTD) of legubicin was >16 mg/kg doxorubicin equivalent in female rats, 11 mg/kg doxorubicin equivalent in male rats (LD50 of conventional doxorubicin is 10.51 mg/kg), and >8 mg/kg doxorubicin equivalent in dogs (MTD of conventional doxorubicin is 1.5 mg/kg). Four-week repeat-dose toxicity studies of intravenous legubicin were conducted in rats (5, 10, and 25 mg/kg/dose once weekly) and dogs (3/1.5, 10/5, and 20/10 mg/kg/dose once weekly); the dose levels were reduced from the second dose due to intolerable legubicin-associated toxicity at 20 mg/kg. Major organs of toxicity included the gastrointestinal tract, lymphoid and hematopoietic organs, kidney, skin, liver, reproductive organs, and peripheral nerves, which are all associated with doxorubicin. However, cardiotoxicity was only noted at MTD dose levels. Altogether, our results confirm an improved safety profile of legubicin over conventional doxorubicin and support its clinical benefit for treating cancer."

However, the degree to which DNA-PK inhibitors also sensitize normal tissues remains poorly characterized. In this study, we compare tumor growth control and normal tissue sensitization following DNA-PK inhibitors in combination with radiation and etoposide. FaDu tumor xenografts implanted in mice were treated with 10 to 15 Gy irradiation ± 3 to 100 mg/kg AZD7648. A dose-dependent increase in time to tumor volume doubling following AZD7648 was proportional to an increase in toxicity scores of the overlying skin. Similar effects were seen in the intestinal jejunum, tongue, and FaDu tumor xenografts of mice assessed for proliferation rates at 3.5 days after treatment with etoposide or 5 Gy whole body irradiation ± DNA-PK inhibitors AZD7648 or peposertib (M3814). Additional organs were examined for sensitivity to DNA-PK inhibitor activity in ATM-deficient mice, where DNA-PK activity is indicated by surrogate marker γH2AX. Inhibition was observed in the heart, brain, pancreas, thymus, tongue, and salivary glands of ATM-deficient mice treated with the DNA-PK inhibitors relative to radiation alone. Similar reductions are also seen in ATM-deficient FaDu tumor xenografts where both pDNA-PK and γH2AX staining could be performed. DNA-PK inhibitor-mediated sensitization to radiation and DNA-damaging chemotherapy are not only limited to tumor tissues, but also extends to normal tissues sustaining DNA damage. These data are useful for interpretation of the sensitizing effects of DNA damage repair inhibitors, where a therapeutic index showing greater cell-killing effects on cancer cells is crucial for optimal clinical translation."

Considering our patients and the literature, 32 cases were retrieved, 7 of which featured an MF-like clinical picture over a 4-to-20-year period. MF-like cases show distinctive histology, comprising a predominantly epidermotropic infiltration of small-to-large, atypical-to-pleomorphic, with few anaplastic cells, negligible-to-intense CD30-expression, and a CD4+/cytotoxic granule+ phenotype. These features should prompt a search for ALK expression captured by the ALK D5F3 clone. Bona fide ALK+ pcTCL is very rare, and existent data suggest the presence of a broader pattern of disease, including instances mimicking MF and/or primary cutaneous CD8+ aggressive epidermotropic cytotoxic T-cell lymphoma. The major challenges in dealing with this subset include prodromal phases, misinterpreted as inflammatory dermatosis or parapsoriasis/early phase MF both clinically and histologically, while recognition of its ALK-driven biology is hampered both by the unusual clinic-pathologic pattern of the disease, which stands apart from the classical (i.e., nodal) picture of ALK+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma and by the low sensitivity of ALK1 clone. Data on its optimal management are far from being conclusive: An MF-like approach is currently chosen, but depending on CD30 and, most notably, ALK expression, a targeted therapy could be envisaged in advanced stages, as clinical response to ALK inhibition was documented in one patient."

+4906,skin cancer,38779986,The role of interleukin-36 in health and disease states.,"The interleukin (IL)-1 superfamily upregulates immune responses and maintains homeostasis between the innate and adaptive immune systems. Within the IL-1 superfamily, IL-36 plays a pivotal role in both innate and adaptive immune responses. Of the four IL-36 isoforms, three have agonist activity (IL-36α, IL-36β, IL-36γ) and the fourth has antagonist activity (IL-36 receptor antagonist [IL-36Ra]). All IL-36 isoforms bind to the IL-36 receptor (IL-36R). Binding of IL-36α/β/γ to the IL-36R recruits the IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1RAcP) and activates downstream signalling pathways mediated by nuclear transcription factor kappa B and mitogen-activated protein kinase signalling pathways. Antagonist binding of IL-36Ra to IL-36R inhibits recruitment of IL-1RAcP, blocking downstream signalling pathways. Changes in the balance within the IL-36 cytokine family can lead to uncontrolled inflammatory responses throughout the body. As such, IL-36 has been implicated in numerous inflammatory diseases, notably a type of pustular psoriasis called generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP), a chronic, rare, potentially life-threatening, multisystemic skin disease characterised by recurrent fever and extensive sterile pustules. In GPP, IL-36 is central to disease pathogenesis, and the prevention of IL-36-mediated signalling can improve clinical outcomes. In this review, we summarize the literature describing the biological functions of the IL-36 pathway. We also consider the evidence for uncontrolled activation of the IL-36 pathway in a wide range of skin (e.g., plaque psoriasis, pustular psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, acne, Netherton syndrome, atopic dermatitis and pyoderma gangrenosum), lung (e.g., idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), gut (e.g., intestinal fibrosis, inflammatory bowel disease and Hirschsprung's disease), kidney (e.g., renal tubulointerstitial lesions) and infectious diseases caused by a variety of pathogens (e.g., COVID-19; Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus pneumoniae infections), as well as in cancer. We also consider how targeting the IL-36 signalling pathway could be used in treating inflammatory disease states."

Artificial intelligence (AI) applied to RCM-OCT could aid readers. We trained AI models, using OCT rasters of biopsy-confirmed BCC, to detect BCC, create three-dimensional rendering and automatically measure tumour depth. Trained AI models were applied to a separate test set containing rasters of BCC, benign lesions, and healthy skin. Blinded reader analysis and tumour depth correlation with histopathology were conducted. BCC detection improved from viewing OCT rasters only (sensitivity 73.3%, specificity 45.5%) to viewing rasters with AI-generated BCC rendering (sensitivity 86.7%, specificity 48.5%). A Pearson correlation r2 = 0.59 (P = 0.02) was achieved for the tumour depth measurement between AI and histological measured depths.

This subtype of basal cell carcinoma necessitates meticulous management to address potential recurrence and metastasis. Surgical excision with clear margins remains the cornerstone treatment for basal cell carcinoma of the areola-nipple complex, while alternative modalities such as radiation therapy, Mohs surgery, and systemic therapies may be considered in specific cases. However, optimal management strategies remain contentious, with varying opinions on the necessity of aggressive surgical intervention to minimize recurrence and metastasis risks. Additionally, the absence of standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment guidelines complicates clinical decision-making. Herein, we present a rare case of basal cell carcinoma of the areola-nipple complex in a 47-year-old woman with a notable medical history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and untreated psychosis, alongside a family history of breast cancer in her aunt. The patient exhibited a non-regressing ulceration on the right areolar region of the breast, persisting for approximately 10 years and progressively extending over time. Following surgical excision, a favorable post-therapeutic course was observed during follow-up.

Decreased numbers or impaired functions of MSCs are closely associated with the development and therapy of many skin conditions, such as hair graying, vitiligo, wound healing and melanoma. With the advancement of stem cell technology, the relevant features of MSCs have been further elaborated. In this review, we provide an exhaustive overview of cutaneous MSCs and highlight the latest advances in MSC research. A better understanding of the biological characteristics and micro-environmental regulatory mechanisms of MSCs will help to improve clinical applications in regenerative medicine, skin pigmentation disorders and cancer therapy.

+4918,skin cancer,38778340,Extracellular vesicles promote migration despite BRAF inhibitor treatment in malignant melanoma cells.,"Extracellular vesicles (EVs) constitute a vital component of intercellular communication, exerting significant influence on metastasis formation and drug resistance mechanisms. Malignant melanoma (MM) is one of the deadliest forms of skin cancers, because of its high metastatic potential and often acquired resistance to oncotherapies. The prevalence of BRAF mutations in MM underscores the importance of BRAF-targeted therapies, such as vemurafenib and dabrafenib, alone or in combination with the MEK inhibitor, trametinib. This study aimed to elucidate the involvement of EVs in MM progression and ascertain whether EV-mediated metastasis promotion persists during single agent BRAF (vemurafenib, dabrafenib), or MEK (trametinib) and combined BRAF/MEK (dabrafenib/trametinib) inhibition.Using five pairs of syngeneic melanoma cell lines, we assessed the impact of EVs - isolated from their respective supernatants - on melanoma cell proliferation and migration. Cell viability and spheroid growth assays were employed to evaluate proliferation, while migration was analyzed through mean squared displacement (MSD) and total traveled distance (TTD) measurements derived from video microscopy and single-cell tracking.Our results indicate that while EV treatments had remarkable promoting effect on cell migration, they exerted only a modest effect on cell proliferation and spheroid growth. Notably, EVs demonstrated the ability to mitigate the inhibitory effects of BRAF inhibitors, albeit they were ineffective against a MEK inhibitor and the combination of BRAF/MEK inhibitors. In summary, our findings contribute to the understanding of the intricate role played by EVs in tumor progression, metastasis, and drug resistance in MM."

+4920,skin cancer,38777826,TIMP-1 is an activator of MHC-I expression in myeloid dendritic cells with implications for tumor immunogenicity.,"Immune checkpoint therapies (ICT) for advanced solid tumors mark a new milestone in cancer therapy. Yet their efficacy is often limited by poor immunogenicity, attributed to inadequate priming and generation of antitumor T cells by dendritic cells (DCs). Identifying biomarkers to enhance DC functions in such tumors is thus crucial. Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1), recognized for its influence on immune cells, has an underexplored relationship with DCs. Our research reveals a correlation between high TIMP1 levels in metastatic melanoma and increased CD8 + T cell infiltration and survival. Network studies indicate a functional connection with HLA genes. Spatial transcriptomic analysis of a national melanoma cohort revealed that TIMP1 expression in immune compartments associates with an HLA-A/MHC-I peptide loading signature in lymph nodes. Primary human and bone-marrow-derived DCs secrete TIMP-1, which notably increases MHC-I expression in classical type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1), especially under melanoma antigen exposure. TIMP-1 affects the immunoproteasome/TAP complex, as seen by upregulated PSMB8 and TAP-1 levels of myeloid DCs. This study uncovers the role of TIMP-1 in DC-mediated immunogenicity with insights into CD8 + T cell activation, providing a foundation for mechanistic exploration and highlighting its potential as a new target for combinatorial immunotherapy to enhance ICT effectiveness."

+4922,skin cancer,38777147,Quantitative proteomics reveals CLR interactome in primary human cells.,"The G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR) mediates essential functions in several cell types and is implicated in cardiovascular pathologies, skin diseases, migraine, and cancer. To date, the network of proteins interacting with CLR (""CLR interactome"") in primary cells, where this GPCR is expressed at endogenous (physiologically relevant) levels, remains unknown. To address this knowledge gap, we established a novel integrative methodological workflow/approach for conducting a comprehensive/proteome-wide analysis of Homo sapiens CLR interactome. We used primary human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells and combined immunoprecipitation utilizing anti-human CLR antibody with label-free quantitative nano LC-MS/MS and quantitative in situ proximity ligation assay. By using this workflow, we identified 37 proteins interacting with endogenously expressed CLR amongst 4902 detected members of the cellular proteome (by quantitative nano LC-MS/MS) and revealed direct interactions of two kinases and two transporters with this GPCR (by in situ proximity ligation assay). All identified interactors have not been previously reported as members of CLR interactome. Our approach and findings uncover the hitherto unrecognized compositional complexity of the interactome of endogenously expressed CLR and contribute to fundamental understanding of the biology of this GPCR. Collectively, our study provides a first-of-its-kind integrative methodological approach and datasets as valuable resources and robust platform/springboard for advancing the discovery and comprehensive characterization of physiologically relevant CLR interactome at a proteome-wide level in a range of cell types and diseases in future studies."

With the increased sensitivity and speed of modern mass spectrometers, sample preparation remains a bottleneck for studying large cohorts. To address this issue, we prepared and evaluated a simple and efficient workflow on the Opentrons OT-2 robot that combines sample digestion, cleanup, and loading on Evotips in a fully automated manner, allowing the processing of up to 192 samples in 6 h. Analysis of 192 automated HeLa cell sample preparations consistently identified ∼8000 protein groups and ∼130,000 peptide precursors with an 11.5 min active liquid chromatography gradient with the Evosep One and narrow-window data-independent acquisition (nDIA) with the Orbitrap Astral mass spectrometer providing a throughput of 100 samples per day. Our results demonstrate a highly sensitive workflow yielding both reproducibility and stability at low sample inputs. The workflow is optimized for minimal sample starting amount to reduce the costs for reagents needed for sample preparation, which is critical when analyzing large biological cohorts. Building on the digesting workflow, we incorporated an automated phosphopeptide enrichment step using magnetic titanium-immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography beads. This allows for a fully automated proteome and phosphoproteome sample preparation in a single step with high sensitivity. Using the integrated digestion and Evotip loading workflow, we evaluated the effects of cancer immune therapy on the plasma proteome in metastatic melanoma patients."

Cutaneous LP is usually transient and oral LP (OLP) is most often chronic, so we performed a large-scale genetic and epidemiological study of LP to address whether the oral and non-oral subgroups have shared or distinct underlying pathologies and their overlap with autoimmune disease. Using lifelong records covering diagnoses, procedures, and clinic identity from 473,580 individuals in the FinnGen study, genome-wide association analyses were conducted on carefully constructed subcategories of OLP (n = 3,323) and non-oral LP (n = 4,356) and on the combined group. We identified 15 genome-wide significant associations in FinnGen and an additional 12 when meta-analyzed with UKBB (27 independent associations at 25 distinct genomic locations), most of which are shared between oral and non-oral LP. Many associations coincide with known autoimmune disease loci, consistent with the epidemiologic enrichment of LP with hypothyroidism and other autoimmune diseases. Notably, a third of the FinnGen associations demonstrate significant differences between OLP and non-OLP. We also observed a 13.6-fold risk for tongue cancer and an elevated risk for other oral cancers in OLP, in agreement with earlier reports that connect LP with higher cancer incidence. In addition to a large-scale dissection of LP genetics and comorbidities, our study demonstrates the use of comprehensive, multidimensional health registry data to address outstanding clinical questions and reveal underlying biological mechanisms in common but understudied diseases."

Melanocytic nevi and primary cutaneous melanomas were immunohistochemically stained for tubulin-β-3 and 5-hmC. Immunoreactivity and staining patterns were correlated with Breslow-thickness, clinical and pathological characteristics, and progression-free survival. Melanocytes showed positive tubulin β-3 staining. However, in most nevi, tubulin β-3 staining appeared as a gradient with intense cytoplasmic staining in cells of the superficial part of the lesion that faded to weak staining in the deep dermal part, while no gradient was found in deep penetrating nevi and melanomas. In 53 % of the melanomas, areas with loss of tubulin β-3 staining were found. 5-hmC staining intensity was significantly higher in melanocytic nevi compared to melanomas. Breslow thickness in combination with low 5-hmC score and loss of tubulin-β-3 staining was predictive for poor prognosis. As single markers, tubulin-β-3 and 5-hmC can be useful to distinguish between melanocytic nevi and melanoma, but staining variability limits the use of 5-hmC. In melanomas measuring >1.5 mm, combination of low 5-hmC score and loss of tubulin-β-3 staining may have prognostic value."

+4928,skin cancer,38776418,Hyaluronic Acid-Coated Silica Nanoparticles for Targeted Delivery of Nitric Oxide to Cancer Cells.,"Drug resistance and off-target toxicity are two of the greatest challenges to chemotherapeutic melanoma treatments. Nitric oxide (NO) represents an attractive alternative to conventional therapeutics due to its numerous anticancer properties and low probability of engendering resistance. As NO is highly reactive, macromolecular NO donors are needed for the controlled and targeted delivery of NO for therapeutic applications. Herein, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) coated with hyaluronic acid (HA) were developed as a NO delivery system to facilitate controlled delivery to cancer cells through both passive and active targeting via the enhanced permeation and retention effect and directed binding of HA with CD44 receptors, respectively. The aminosilane modification, HA concentration, and HA molecular weight were systematically evaluated to facilitate the MSN coating and NO loading. The hydrodynamic diameter and dispersity of the nanoparticles increased after HA coating due to the hydrophilic nature of HA, with greater increases observed at higher HA molecular weight. Lower starting concentrations of HA and aminosilanes with longer alkyl chains favored more efficient HA coating. Faster NO-release kinetics and lower NO payloads were observed for the HA-coated MSNs relative to uncoated MSNs. However, the localized delivery of NO to cancer cells through the active targeting conferred by HA increased levels of oxidative stress and induced mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in melanoma cells. Cytotoxicity was also evaluated against human dermal fibroblasts, with the use of 6 kDa HA-coated MSNs resulting in the greatest therapeutic indices. Enhanced internalization of HA-coated nanoparticles into melanoma cells versus uncoated nanoparticles was visualized with confocal microscopy and quantified by fluorescence spectroscopy. In total, HA-coated MSNs represent a promising NO delivery system for potential use as a chemotherapeutic for skin melanomas."

Here, we show that ablating individual clusters of the miR-17∼92 family has a negligible effect on thymocyte development, while deleting the entire family severely impairs thymocyte proliferation and reduces thymic cellularity, phenocopying genetic deletion of Dicer. Mechanistically, miR-17∼92 expression is induced by Myc-mediated pre-T cell receptor (TCR) signaling, and miR-17∼92 promotes thymocyte proliferation by suppressing the translation of Pten. Retroviral expression of miR-17∼92 restores the proliferation and differentiation of Myc-deficient thymocytes. Conversely, partial deletion of the miR-17∼92 family significantly delays Myc-driven leukemogenesis. Intriguingly, thymocyte-specific transgenic miR-17∼92 expression does not cause leukemia or lymphoma but instead aggravates skin inflammation, while ablation of the miR-17∼92 family ameliorates skin inflammation. This study reveals intricate roles of the miR-17∼92 family in balancing thymocyte development, leukemogenesis, and autoimmunity and identifies those microRNAs (miRNAs) as potential therapeutic targets for leukemia and autoimmune diseases."

Although the application of artificial intelligence in image analysis and pattern recognition has improved the accuracy and efficiency of early skin cancer diagnosis, existing supervised learning methods are limited due to their reliance on a large amount of labeled data. To overcome the limitations of data labeling and enhance the performance of diagnostic models, this study proposes a semi-supervised skin cancer diagnostic model based on Self-feedback Threshold Focal Learning (STFL), capable of utilizing partial labeled and a large scale of unlabeled medical images for training models in unseen scenarios. The proposed model dynamically adjusts the selection threshold of unlabeled samples during training, effectively filtering reliable unlabeled samples and using focal learning to mitigate the impact of class imbalance in further training. The study is experimentally validated on the HAM10000 dataset, which includes images of various types of skin lesions, with experiments conducted across different scales of labeled samples. With just 500 annotated samples, the model demonstrates robust performance (0.77 accuracy, 0.6408 Kappa, 0.77 recall, 0.7426 precision, and 0.7462 F1-score), showcasing its efficiency with limited labeled data. Further, comprehensive testing validates the semi-supervised model's significant advancements in diagnostic accuracy and efficiency, underscoring the value of integrating unlabeled data. This model offers a new perspective on medical image processing and contributes robust scientific support for the early diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer."

Although arsenic exposure is associated with broad-scale cellular and molecular changes, gaps exist in understanding how these changes impact the skin and facilitate malignant transformation. Recently developed epigenetic ""clocks"" can accurately predict chronological, biological and mitotic age, as well as telomere length, on the basis of tissue DNA methylation state. Deviations of predicted from expected age (epigenetic age dysregulation) have been associated with numerous complex diseases, increased all-cause mortality and higher cancer risk. We investigated the ability of these algorithms to detect molecular changes associated with chronic arsenic exposure in the context of associated skin lesions. To accomplish this, we utilized a multi-algorithmic approach incorporating seven ""clocks"" (Horvath, Skin&Blood, PhenoAge, PCPhenoAge, GrimAge, DNAmTL and epiTOC2) to analyze peripheral blood of pediatric and adult cohorts of arsenic-exposed (n = 84) and arsenic-naïve (n = 33) individuals, among whom n = 18 were affected by skin lesions.

Side effects may be observed on routine monitoring studies before they become clinically apparent. The goal of this retrospective chart review was to assess laboratory abnormalities in dermatologic and rheumatologic patients taking HCQ. Medical records of patients prescribed HCQ were retrospectively reviewed. Demographics, reported side effects, and parameters on baseline and follow-up complete blood count (CBC) and comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) were recorded and graded. Laboratory abnormalities were considered severe if they were grade 3 or greater according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0 and persistent if they continued beyond subsequent laboratory testing. Of 646 eligible charts, 289 had monitoring studies for review. There were 35 severe (grade 3 or 4, 35/289; 12%) adverse events that developed, as noted on CBC or CMP. Of these 35 severe adverse events, 25 self-corrected on subsequent testing, and 10 (10/289, 3%) across 9 patients were persistent, including glomerular filtration rate, alanine transferase, alkaline phosphatase, glucose, hemoglobin and lymphopenia abnormalities. Of these 10 abnormalities, 7/10 (70%) were unlikely due to hydroxychloroquine use according to the calculated Naranjo score for each patient. Severe laboratory abnormalities while taking hydroxychloroquine are rare, even in a population with a high rate of comorbidities. Among the abnormalities observed, the majority of them (70%) were likely due to disease progression or a medication other than hydroxychloroquine. CBC and CMP monitoring for the reason of observing abnormalities while on HCQ should be at the discretion of the prescribing physician."

This study examined the perceived skin cancer risk and sun protective practices among individuals living with vitiligo. A secondary objective was to understand where participants obtain this information. This was a prospective cross-sectional study. An online survey was distributed to vitiligo support group leaders globally who shared the survey with their members. Individuals over the age of 18 and with vitiligo were included. There were 209 survey respondents, the majority were between the ages 35-54 (45.5%, n = 95), female (70.8%, n = 148), White (66.0%, n = 138). Nearly half of respondents believed they were at increased risk of skin cancer because of their vitiligo (45.5%, n = 95) and nearly a quarter (22.5%, n = 47) believed that phototherapy increased their risk of skin cancer. Having vitiligo affected sun protective practices with less than a quarter (24.4%, n = 51) of respondents using sunscreen daily or often prior to their vitiligo diagnosis in comparison to the majority of respondents (60.3%, n = 126) using it after their vitiligo diagnosis. The three most common sources where patients obtained information were the internet and social media (46.4%, n = 97), vitiligo support groups (23.4%, n = 49), and dermatologists (20.6%, n = 43). Despite evidence indicating a decreased risk of skin cancer in individuals with vitiligo and supporting the safety of narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy, many participants believed they were at an increased risk of skin cancer. Findings were sub-stratified and showed differences in sunscreen usage based on gender, skin color, and percent depigmentation. This study also found nearly half of respondents obtained information related to vitiligo from the internet and social media. The number of participants may limit the generalizability of the findings. Survey questionnaires are also subject to response bias. The findings from this study highlight demographic variations in sunscreen usage which may help guide the development of targeted interventions to improve sun protective behaviors among diverse populations with vitiligo. In addition, this study suggests certain sun protective practices and skin cancer risk perceptions may vary based on extent of depigmentation. Lastly, this study also demonstrates the internet and social media as a popular source for obtaining information, emphasizing the need for dermatologists to leverage various online communication channels to help disseminate accurate information."

However, overall survival is still limited due to treatment resistance after about one year. Therefore, identifying new therapeutic targets for melanoma is crucial for improving clinical outcomes. In the present study, we found that lowering intracellular cholesterol by knocking down DHCR24, the limiting synthetase, impaired tumor cell proliferation and migration and abrogated the ability to xenotransplant tumors. More importantly, administration of DHCR24 or cholesterol mediated resistance to vemurafenib and promoted the growth of melanoma spheroids. Mechanistically, we identified that 27-hydroxycholesterol (27HC), a primary metabolite of cholesterol synthesized by the enzyme cytochrome P450 27A1 (CYP27A1), reproduces the phenotypes induced by DHCR24 or cholesterol administration and activates Rap1-PI3K/AKT signaling. Accordingly, CYP27A1 is highly expressed in melanoma patients and upregulated by DHCR24 induction. Dafadine-A, a CYP27A1 inhibitor, attenuates cholesterol-induced growth of melanoma spheroids and abrogates the resistance property of vemurafenib-resistant melanoma cells. Finally, we confirmed that the effects of cholesterol on melanoma resistance require its metabolite 27HC through CYP27A1 catalysis, and that 27HC further upregulates Rap1A/Rap1B expression and increases AKT phosphorylation. Thus, our results suggest that targeting 27HC may be a useful strategy to overcome treatment resistance in metastatic melanoma."

FH-deficient RCC is an aggressive carcinoma caused by pathogenic alterations in FH gene, seen in 15% of patients with hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer syndrome (HLRCC) syndrome. These tumors occur more frequently at a younger age and present at an advanced stage, carrying a dismal prognosis. We report a series of 10 cases of FH-deficient RCC. The mean age was 49.8 years, and all cases presented in advanced stages (III and IV). Morphologically, the cases had varied architectural patterns with characteristic eosinophilic macronucleoli and perinucleolar halo. On immunohistochemistry (IHC), all showed diffuse nucleo-cytoplasmic expression of S-(2-succino)-cysteine (2-SC), with loss of FH in seven cases.

Wide local excision (WLE) has been an important treatment option, but its clinical outcomes and safety have not been thoroughly evaluated in previous reports. The aim of this study was to determine appropriate surgical margins (deep and lateral) and prognostic factors associated with recurrence-free survival (RFS) of DFSP. A database collected by two dermatology departments in Japan was retrospectively reviewed to identify 116 patients with DFSP who underwent complete resection with WLE between 1994 and 2021. Sixty-one men (53%) and 55 women (47%) were included in our cohort. The primary sites of DFSP were as follows: 11 head and neck (9%); seven face (7%); 12 upper extremities (10%); 20 lower extremities (17%); and 66 trunk (57%). There were 103 cases (89%) of primary DFSP and 13 cases (11%) of recurrent DFSP. Total 10-year RFS was 96.6%. There were significant differences in RFS by tumor size (median size: 3 cm), disease status (primary versus recurrent DFSP), and fibrosarcomatous change (positive versus negative) (all p < 0.05). Two patients (1.7%) with buccal or head lesions had positive deep margins. In all cases, the lateral margin was negative at the postoperative evaluation. Tumor size, disease status, and fibrosarcomatous change are important risk factors for recurrence. Both face and head-neck lesions were more likely to have positive deep margins than other anatomic areas in DFSP. Although this study was limited by its retrospective design, a narrow 2-cm lateral margin is especially considered for low-risk patients."

We investigated the role of Transcription Factor Activating Enhancer-Binding Protein 2ε (AP2ε) in the progression of metastatic melanoma. Here, we observed that AP2ε is a potent activator of metastasis and newly revealed AP2ε to be an important player in melanoma plasticity. High levels of AP2ε lead to worsened prognosis of melanoma patients. Using a transgenic melanoma mouse model with a specific loss of AP2ε expression, we confirmed the impact of AP2ε to modulate the dynamic switch from a migratory to a proliferative phenotype. AP2ε deficient melanoma cells show a severely reduced migratory potential in vitro and reduced metastatic behavior in vivo. Consistently, we revealed increased activity of AP2ε in quiescent and migratory cells compared to heterogeneously proliferating cells in bioprinted 3D models. In conclusion, these findings disclose a yet-unknown role of AP2ε in maintaining plasticity and migration in malignant melanoma cells."

How these two dysregulated cellular compartments simultaneously sustain their heightened metabolic demands is unclear. Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics (ST), along with immunofluorescence, revealed that hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α), downstream of IL-17 signaling, drove psoriatic epithelial remodeling. Blocking HIF1α in human psoriatic lesions ex vivo impaired glycolysis and phenocopied anti-IL-17 therapy. In a murine model of skin inflammation, epidermal-specific loss of HIF1α or its target gene, glucose transporter 1, ameliorated epidermal, immune, vascular, and neuronal pathology. Mechanistically, glycolysis autonomously fueled epithelial pathology and enhanced lactate production, which augmented the γδ T17 cell response. RORγt-driven genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of either lactate-producing enzymes or lactate transporters attenuated epithelial pathology and IL-17A expression in vivo. Our findings identify a metabolic hierarchy between epithelial and immune compartments and the consequent coordination of metabolic processes that sustain inflammatory disease."

Preoperative assessment of tumoral margins plays a decisive role for a successful result. The aim of this work was to evaluate the possibility that hyperspectral imaging could become a valuable tool in solving this problem. Hyperspectral images of 11 histologically diagnosed carcinomas (six basal cell carcinomas and five squamous cell carcinomas) were acquired prior clinical evaluation and surgical excision. The hyperspectral data were then analyzed using a newly developed method for delineating skin cancer tumor margins. This proposed method is based on a segmentation process of the hyperspectral images into regions with similar spectral and spatial features, followed by a machine learning-based data classification process resulting in the generation of classification maps illustrating tumor margins. The Spectral Angle Mapper classifier was used in the data classification process using approximately 37% of the segments as the training sample, the rest being used for testing. The receiver operating characteristic was used as the method for evaluating the performance of the proposed method and the area under the curve as a metric. The results revealed that the performance of the method was very good, with median AUC values of 0.8014 for SCCs, 0.8924 for BCCs, and 0.8930 for normal skin. With AUC values above 0.89 for all types of tissue, the method was considered to have performed very well.

Although immune checkpoint inhibitors show promising therapeutic efficacy, they often cause immune-related adverse events. Immune-related adverse events differ from the side effects of conventional chemotherapy and require vigilant monitoring. These events predominantly affect organs, such as the colon, liver, lungs, pituitary gland, thyroid and skin, with rare cases affecting the heart, nervous system and other tissues. As immune-related adverse events result from immune activation, indicating the reinvigoration of exhausted immune cells that attack both tumors and normal tissues, it is theoretically possible that immune-related adverse events may signal a better response to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Recent retrospective studies have explored the link between immune-related adverse event development and clinical efficacy; however, the predictive value of immune-related adverse events in the immune checkpoint inhibitor response remains unclear. Additionally, studies have focused on immune-related adverse events, timing of onset and immunosuppressive treatments.

Histopathologically, both cases had classic MF features and shared a peculiar immunophenotype, with positivity for CD25 and FOXP3. Differential diagnoses included urticarial lymphomatoid drug reactions and other lymphomas, like T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia, atypical Sézary syndrome, or adult T-cell lymphocytic leukemia. A low suspicion threshold is necessary for the diagnosis of atypical presentations of MF."

The Fc-EVs can be decorated with different types of immunoglobulin G antibody and thus be targeted to virtually any tissue of interest. Following optimization of the engineered EVs by screening Fc-binding and EV-sorting moieties, we show the targeting of EVs to cancer cells displaying the human epidermal receptor 2 or the programmed-death ligand 1, as well as lower tumour burden and extended survival of mice with subcutaneous melanoma tumours when systemically injected with EVs displaying an antibody for the programmed-death ligand 1 and loaded with the chemotherapeutic doxorubicin.

An anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap has established itself in the algorithm for abdominal wall reconstruction. Augmenting innervated vastus lateralis (iVL) muscle to ALT has added advantages. We describe previously unreported advantage of ALT with iVL.A woman in her 30s, suffering from Mullerian adenocarcinoma with metastasis to the right anterior abdominal wall and right inguinal lymph node, was taken for wide local excision and reconstruction. After excision, there was a 15×12 cm defect of the anterior abdominal wall. We reconstructed the defect with prosthetic mesh and pedicled composite ALT and iVL. There was venous congestion in the ALT flap and it could not be salvaged. We debrided the ALT flap and applied split skin graft over iVL. The grafted and donor sites healed well. The patient was able to do moderate strenuous activities. The presence of iVL allowed us to get away with minor procedure and averted the need for another flap."

The impact of exercise on the pro-inflammatory state in SCA remains unclear. This study aimed to characterize the whole-blood transcriptome profile in response to an acute bout of exercise in paediatric SCA patients. Twenty-three SCA participants (13 ± 3 years, 52% girls) and 17 healthy controls (14 ± 3 years, 29% girls) performed eight 2-min bouts of cycle ergometry interspersed with 1-min rest intervals. Whole-blood transcriptome profile (RNA-seq) was performed before and after exercise. At baseline, gene pathways associated with gas transport in erythrocytes were up-regulated in SCA patients compared to controls. Following exercise, gene pathways associated with innate immunity were altered in both groups. Interaction analyses revealed 160 annotated genes (101 up- and 59 down-regulated) that differentially altered by exercise in SCA patients. Moreover, genes that exhibited a blunted response to exercise in SCA patients were enriched in the IL-17 signalling pathway, suggesting an impaired innate immune response to exercise. This data will contribute to the development of evidence-based exercise prescription guidelines for this patient population."

Recently, a large volume of clinical data demonstrating efficacy in MMS treatment of melanoma was published, leading to emerging patient safety considerations of incurred treatment costs, risk of tumor upstaging, and failure of care coordination for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). MMS offers a safe, effective, and value-based treatment for both melanoma in situ (MIS) and invasive melanoma (IM), particularly with immunohistochemistry use on frozen sections. Compared to wide local excision, MMS treatment demonstrates similar or improved outcomes for local tumor recurrence, melanoma-specific survival, and overall survival at long-term follow-up. Tumor upstaging risk is low, and if present, alteration to clinical management is minimal. Discussion of SLNB for eligible head and neck IM cases should be done prior to MMS. Though challenging, successful multidisciplinary coordination of SLNB with MMS has been demonstrated. Herein, we provide a detailed clinical review of evidence for MMS treatment of cutaneous melanoma and offer recommendations to address current controversies surrounding the evolving paradigm of surgical management for both MIS and invasive melanoma (IM)."

Systematic bioinformatics analysis revealed the potential influence of STC1 dysregulation on prognosis, immune cell infiltration, response to immune therapy, and cellular functions. In vitro assays were conducted to assess the proliferation, invasion, migration, and angiogenesis capabilities of A375 cells. In vivo experiments utilizing C57BL/6 J mice established a lung metastasis model using B16-F10 cells to evaluate macrophage infiltration and M2 polarization. A Transwell co-culture system was employed to explore the crosstalk between melanoma and macrophages. Molecular interactions among STC1, YAP, βPIX, and CCL2 are investigated using mass spectrometry, Co-Immunoprecipitation, Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay, and Chromatin Immunoprecipitation experiments. STC1 was found to enhance lung metastasis by promoting the recruitment and polarization of M2 macrophages, thereby fostering an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Mechanistically, STC1 competes with YAP for binding to βPIX within the KER domain in melanoma cells, leading to YAP activation and subsequent CCL2 upregulation. CCL2-induced M2 macrophages secrete VEGFA, which enhances tumor vascularization and increases STC1 expression via the AKT signaling pathway in melanoma cells, establishing a pro-metastatic feedback loop. Notably, STC1-induced YAP activation increases PD-L1 expression, promoting immune evasion. Silencing STC1 enhances the efficacy of PD-1 immune checkpoint therapy in mice. This research elucidates STC1's role in melanoma metastasis and its complex interactions with tumor-associated macrophages, proposing STC1 as a potential therapeutic target for countering melanoma metastasis and augmenting the efficacy of PD-1 immunotherapy."

Lower gastrointestinal tract immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are common during treatment; however, gastritis is not frequently observed. Herein, we report a case of severe cytomegalovirus (CMV)-related gastritis in a patient treated with ipilimumab and nivolumab for metastatic melanoma. This report presents a 60-year-old woman with stage IV BRAF wild-type melanoma. After the second course of ipilimumab-nivolumab, the patient reported epigastric discomfort after meals, anorexia, and subsequent nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, and weight loss. Disease staging with PET/CT scan showed very good partial response and diffuse gastroduodenitis. The patient underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy, showing severe esophageal candidiasis and diffuse hemorrhagic, edematous, and ulcerative mucosa in the whole gastric wall. Biopsies of the gastric wall were obtained. Before receipt of the final pathology report, the patient was empirically started on corticosteroids based on the clinical suspicion of immune-related gastritis, without improvement of symptoms. The hematoxylin-eosin staining demonstrated active gastritis with diffuse nuclear cytopathic viral inclusions in epithelial and interstitial cells; CMV infection was confirmed with immunohistochemical staining. The patient started ganciclovir and fluconazole, with rapid improvement of symptoms. This case presents a rare instance of CMV gastritis in a patient receiving combined anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA4 , in the absence of immune-suppression to manage an irAE. In the case of suggestive symptoms of irAEs, a high index of clinical suspicion is required to rule out concomitant or isolated infective disease. Guidelines for prophylaxis and treatment of these patients are needed, to optimize treatment results."

The objectives of this study were to evaluate safety, radiation fractionation, and identify informative biomarkers of an in-situ tumor vaccine involving local radiation therapy plus intratumoral-immunocytokine in melanoma tumor-bearing dogs. Twelve dogs (six dogs/arm) with locally advanced or metastatic melanoma were randomized to receive a single 8 Gy fraction (arm A) or three 8 Gy fractions over 1 week (arm B) to the primary site and regional lymph nodes (when clinically involved) with the single or last fraction 5 days before intratumoral-immunocytokine at 12 mg/m 2 on 3 consecutive days. Serial tumor biopsies were obtained. All 12 dogs completed protocol treatment, and none experienced significant or unexpected adverse events. Evidence of antitumor activity includes one dog with a complete response at day 60, one dog with a partial response at day 60, and four dogs with mixed responses. Histology of serial biopsies shows a variably timed increase in intratumoral lymphocytic inflammation in some dogs. Canine NanoString analyses of serial biopsies identified changes in gene signatures of innate and adaptive cell types versus baseline. There were no significant differences in NanoString results between arm A and arm B. We conclude that intratumoral-immunocytokine in combination with local radiation therapy in canine melanoma is well tolerated and has antitumor activity with the potential to inform clinical development in melanoma patients."

Many germline predisposition alleles are common in populations, and the increasing number of recognized disorders makes inherited myeloid malignancy risk an entity worthy of consideration for all patients regardless of age at diagnosis. Germline testing is facilitated by obtaining DNA from cultured skin fibroblasts or hair bulbs, and cascade testing is easily performed via buccal swab, saliva, or blood. Increasingly as diagnostic criteria and clinical management guidelines include germline myeloid malignancy predisposition, insurance companies recognize the value of testing and provide coverage. Once an individual is recognized to have a deleterious germline variant that confers risk for myeloid malignancies, a personalized cancer surveillance plan can be developed that incorporates screening for other cancer risk outside of the hematopoietic system and/or other organ pathology. The future may also include monitoring the development of clonal hematopoiesis, which is common for many of these cancer risk disorders and/or inclusion of strategies to delay or prevent progression to overt myeloid malignancy.

Their idiosyncratic nature makes the study of IDRs difficult. In particular, nevirapine is associated with a relatively high risk of serious skin rash and liver injury. We previously found that nevirapine causes a similar skin rash in female Brown Norway rats, but these animals do not develop significant liver injury. Programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) is an immune checkpoint involved in immune tolerance, and anti-PD-1 antibodies have been used to treat cancer. However, they increase the risk of liver injury caused by co-administered drugs. We found that PD-1-/- mice are more susceptible to drug-induced liver injury, but PD-1-/- mice are not a good model for all drugs. In particular, they do not develop a skin rash when treated with nevirapine, at least in part because they lack the sulfotransferase in their skin that forms the reactive metabolite responsible for the rash. Therefore, we developed a PD-1 mutant (PD-1m/m) rat, with an excision in the ligand-binding domain of PD-1, to test whether nevirapine would cause a more serious skin rash in these animals. The PD-1m/m rat was based on a Sprague Dawley background, which has a lower incidence of skin rash than Brown Norway rats. The treated PD-1m/m rats developed more severe liver injury than PD-1-/- mice, but in contrast to expectations, they did not develop a skin rash. Functional knockouts provide a unique tool to study the mechanisms of IDRs."

An experimental investigation was conducted to construct pseudo-ternary phase diagram for the most favourable formulation utilizing rice bran oil, which is known for its diverse anticancer properties. The formulation consisted of varying combination of the surfactant and as the co-surfactant (Tween 80 and Transcutol, respectively) referred to as Smix and the trials were optimized to get the desired outcome. The nanoemulsion (NE) formulations that were developed exhibited a droplet size of 179.39 nm, accompanied with a PDI of 0.211. According to the data released by Opt-RIBO-NE, it can be inferred that the Higuchi model had the most favourable fit among many kinetics models considered. The results indicate that the use of nanogel preparations for the topical delivery of RIBO in breast cancer therapy, specifically RIBO-NE-G, is viable. This is supported by the extended release of the RIBO, and the appropriate level of drug permeation observed in Opt-RIBO-NE-G. Due to RIBO and Rice Bran oil, RIBO-NE-G had greater antioxidant activity, indicating its effectiveness as antioxidants. The stability of the RIBO-NE-G was observed over a period of three months, indicating a favourable shelf life. Therefore, this study proposes the utilization of an optimized formulation of RIBO-NE-G may enhance the efficacy of anticancer treatment and mitigate the occurrence of systemic side effects in breast cancer patients, as compared to the use of suspension preparation of RIBO."

In all types of EDS, skin wound healing is impaired to a variable degree. Additional support through wound management plans may help to improve these outcomes; however, there is a paucity of evidence regarding clinical management of skin fragility and wounds in EDS. This paper aims to review current evidence and provide recommendations for management of skin wounds in EDS types. Preventative measures to avoid skin injury are strongly recommended, including avoidance of high-impact sports and use of appropriate protection such as shin guards. Bruising is common, and some types of EDS are associated with haematoma formation, with management including compression bandages and consideration of pharmacological therapy. Skin fragility and tears should be managed with a focus on protection of remaining tissue, avoidance of wound tension and low-adherence dressings to avoid further injury. This paper provides clear recommendations to address skin management for this group of patients. It highlights the lack of good-quality published data to support treatment decisions."

However, understanding SR's influence on host-associated skin commensals remains nascent. This review surveys existing knowledge on SR's impact on the skin microbiome and proposes innovative sun protection methods that safeguard both skin integrity and microbiome balance. A team of skin photodamage specialists conducted a comprehensive review of 122 articles sourced from PubMed and Research Gateway. Key terms included skin microbiome, photoprotection, photodamage, skin cancer, ultraviolet radiation, solar radiation, skin commensals, skin protection, and pre/probiotics. Experts offered insights into novel sun protection products designed not only to shield the skin but also to mitigate SR's effects on the skin microbiome. Existing literature on SR's influence on the skin microbiome is limited. SR exposure can alter microbiome composition, potentially leading to dysbiosis, compromised skin barrier function, and immune system activation. Current sun protection methods generally overlook microbiome considerations. Tailored sun protection products that prioritize both skin and microbiome health may offer enhanced defense against SR-induced skin conditions. By safeguarding both skin and microbiota, these specialized products could mitigate dysbiosis risks associated with SR exposure, bolstering skin defense mechanisms and reducing the likelihood of SR-mediated skin issues."

However, annually rising drug resistance, local inflammation, and ineffective treatment result in a reduction in the effectiveness of the patient's treatment. Nanotechnology has emerged as a prospective in the field of skin cancer medicine, offering innovative, promising solutions for therapeutic procedures and targeted drug delivery. Different nanomaterials are investigated for their potential in skin cancer treatment. Nanohydrogels as a hybrid material, have gained considerable attention due to their unique biomedical and pharmaceutical properties, such as biocompatibility, high water content, and tunable physicochemical characteristics. The principal problem with common skin melanoma chemotherapy is the strong side effects because therapeutics used for treatment do not distinguish cancer cells from healthy cells. Nanohydrogels, as a new-generation, versatile system with the possession of dual characteristics of hydrogels and nanoparticles have shown great potential in targeted delivery in cancer therapy thanks to the possibility of their various modifications, and by that overcome problems with side effects of treatment. This scientific review provides an analysis of the current state of research on nanohydrogels in skin cancer medicine, highlighting their design principles, synthesis methods, and applications in drug delivery, imaging, and combination therapies."
+5016,skin cancer,38766854,"Copy number variations in malignant melanoma: genomic regions, biomarkers, and therapeutic targets.","Malignant melanoma is a skin tumor arising from melanocytes, occurring mostly in predisposed individuals. Melanomas are frequently present with copy number variations (CNVs), i.e., gains or losses of specific DNA regions that have provided immense potential for disease diagnosis and classification. The methodology of CNV detection has revolutionized in past decades, and current high throughput technologies enable us to analyze the entire spectrum of CNV alterations at the whole genome scale. Thus, identifying novel CNV biomarkers and evaluating their applicability in biomedicine are becoming increasingly important. The aim of this review was to summarize copy number changes occurring in malignant melanomas. We made an overview of specific genes and chromosomal locations affected in sporadic and familial melanoma and also of known germline alterations in melanoma-prone families. We summarized genomic regions aberrant in malignant melanoma and highlighted those frequently discussed in the literature, suggesting 7q, 11q, 12q, 9p, and 1q, but also others, as the most affected ones."

In this study, CALR and EIF2AK2 expression was measured in the clinical specimens of 39 patients with melanoma. Then, we constructed knockdown and overexpression cell models of CALR and EIF2AK2 and used wound healing and Transwell assays to observe cell migration and invasion. Apoptosis, EDU, and ROS assays were used to measure cell apoptosis and proliferation, as well as ROS levels. The effect of CALR on endoplasmic reticulum stress was detected using endoplasmic reticulum fluorescent probes. Western blotting was used to detect protein levels of CALR, EIF2AK2, ADAR1, and MMP14. The results indicated that CALR and EIF2AK2 expression levels were significantly higher in human melanoma tissues than in adjacent non-tumor tissue. In addition, we found a correlation between CALR and the expression of EIF2AK2 and MMP14, and the experimental results indicated that overexpression of CALR significantly upregulated the expression of EIF2AK2, MMP14, and ADAR1, while knockdown of CALR inhibited their expression. Notably, the knockdown of EIF2AK2 in the CALR overexpression group blocked the upregulation of MMP14 and ADAR1 expression by CALR, and the knockdown of both CALR and EIF2AK2 significantly inhibited MMP14 and ADAR1 expression. In conclusion, CALR and EIF2AK2 play a promoting role in melanoma progression, and knockdown of CALR and EIF2AK2 may be an effective anti-tumor target, and its mechanism may be through MMP14, ADAR1 signaling."

In Montenegro, as in Europe, numerous campaigns have been initiated to raise public awareness about the importance of melanoma prevention and its early detection. Thus, accompanying current diagnostic and therapeutic protocols, new methods of melanoma diagnosis and treatment have been implemented. Studying the trend enables the identification of the groups most burdened by mortality and assesses whether there has been a change in trends based on interventions aiming to reduce mortality. The objective of this study is to evaluate the mortality trend from cutaneous melanoma in Montenegro for the period 1990-2018."

The lateral parabrachial nucleus (lPBN), composed of external- (elPBN), dorsal- (dlPBN), and central/superior-subnuclei (jointly referred to as slPBN), receives sensory inputs from spinal projection neurons and plays important roles in processing affective information from external threats and body integrity disruption. However, the organizational rules of lPBN neurons that provoke diverse behaviors in response to different painful stimuli from cutaneous and deep tissues remain unclear. In this study, we used region-specific neuronal depletion or silencing approaches combined with a battery of behavioral assays to show that slPBN neurons expressing substance P receptor ( "

The current report documents a case of IPC characterized by a large tumor size and skin involvement. Surgical exploration revealed no evidence of axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer. Due to financial constraints, the patient opted solely for anastrozole endocrine therapy at a dosage of 1 mg/day for a period of 5 years post-surgery, foregoing other treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Since discharge, 2.5 years have passed, during which the patient has been followed up via phone every 3 months, showing a good prognosis. A literature review indicated that IPC is prevalent amongst the elderly population and can be misdiagnosed due to its morphological, cytomorphological and immunophenotypic overlap with other types of papillary neoplasms. This tumor exhibits a more favorable prognosis compared with IDC, primarily attributed to its advantageous gene and molecular expression patterns, coupled with its decreased invasiveness. Despite limited evidence-based research on the treatment of IPC, the present case report, albeit with limitations, underscores the importance of avoiding over-treatment and suggests the feasibility of combining surgery with endocrine therapy for IPC."

However, due to the lack of a unified exercise standard in China, many patients have insufficient awareness of the importance of AVF, leading to poor effectiveness of limb function exercise. The self-management education model can effectively promote patients to take proactive health-related actions. This study focuses on the characteristics of patients during the peri-AVF period and conducts a phased limb function exercise under the guidance of the self-management education model to observe changes in factors such as the maturity of AVF."

A male in his 20s sought treatment for his hyper-hypopigmentation over the body with poikiloderma of the face with thin wrinkled cigarette paper skin in association with photosensitivity. He gave a history of developing blisters all over the body during his childhood, which formed raw areas and eventually healed forming atrophic scars. The objective is to assess the correlation of clinical findings with dermoscopy in a case of KS. KS is a rare disorder with poikiloderma, photosensitivity, and acral bullae in infancy as predominant features. Dermoscopy proves to be a useful tool in the diagnosis of this rare disorder as it helps in the identification of poikiloderma, adermatoglyphia, and cigarette paper scarring."

Nevertheless, further research is warranted to fully elucidate the prognostic implications of NETs in patients with HCC. We employed a hierarchical clustering technique to examine the Cancer Genome Atlas-Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma (TCGA-LIHC) data and identified subtypes associated with NETs. Subsequently, we utilized LASSO regression analysis to identify a distinct gene expression pattern within these subtypes. The strength of this signature was further validated through analysis of TCGA-LIHC and International Cancer Genome Consortium-Liver Cancer (ICGC-LIRI-JP) data. Our findings resulted in the construction of a six-gene signature related to NETs, which can predict survival outcomes in HCC patients. To enhance the predictive accuracy of our tool, we developed a nomogram that integrates the NETs signature with clinicopathological characteristics. We validated the significance of NETs in HCC patients using qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry assays, along with in vitro experiments targeting high-risk genes. Furthermore, our exploration of the immune microenvironment uncovered augmented immune-specific metrics within the low-risk cohort, implying potential disparities in immune-related attributes between the high-risk and low-risk contingents. In summary, the NETs signature we discovered serves as a valuable biomarker and provides guidance for personalized therapy in HCC patients."

Although biomechanical forces are potential drivers of keloid scarring, the direct cellular responses to mechanical cues have yet to be defined. The aim of this study was to examine the distinct responses of normal dermal fibroblasts and keloid-derived fibroblasts (KDFs) to changes in extracellular matrix stiffness. When cultured on hydrogels mimicking the elasticity of normal or scarred skin, KDFs displayed greater stiffness-dependent increases in cell spreading, F-actin stress fiber formation, and focal adhesion assembly. Elevated actomyosin contractility in KDFs disrupted the normal mechanical regulation of extracellular matrix deposition and conferred resistance on myosin inhibitors. Transcriptional profiling identified mechanically regulated pathways in normal dermal fibroblasts and KDFs, including the actin cytoskeleton, Hippo signaling, and autophagy. Further analysis of the autophagy pathway revealed that autophagic flux was intact in both fibroblast populations and depended on actomyosin contractility. However, KDFs displayed marked changes in lysosome organization and an increase in lysosomal exocytosis, which was mediated by actomyosin contractility. Together, these findings demonstrate that KDFs possess an intrinsic increase in cytoskeletal tension, which heightens the response to extracellular matrix mechanics and promotes lysosomal exocytosis."

The influence of preadipocytes on melanoma is less understood. We co-cultured mouse melanoma B16 cells with 3T3L1 preadipocytes to form mixed spheroids and observed increased melanoma proliferation and growth compared to B16-only spheroids. Metastasis-related proteins YAP, TAZ, and PD-L1 levels were also higher in mixed spheroids. Treatment with exosome inhibitor GW4869 halted melanoma growth and reduced expression of these proteins, suggesting exosomal crosstalk between B16 and 3T3L1 cells. MiR-155 expression was significantly higher in mixed spheroids, and GW4869 reduced its levels. Additionally, co-culturing with Raw264.7 macrophage cells increased M2 markers IL-4 and CD206 in Raw264.7 cells, effects that were diminished by GW4869. These results indicate that preadipocytes may enhance melanoma progression and metastasis via exosomal interactions."

It can be mistaken for other dermatoses like Favre-Racouchot nodular elastosis, steatocystoma multiplex, and nevus comedonicus. Milia en plaque can either be primary or secondary and is typically benign, often triggered by dermatological procedures like cryotherapy, as reported in this journal. In some cases, MEP can arise as a secondary manifestation of other diseases, including folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (FMF). Despite this association, there are few documented cases in the literature. Herein, we present a patient in whom MEP served as the initial clinical presentation of FMF; the treatment involved oral retinoids and phototherapy. Furthermore, we highlight distinctive features of both conditions. It is important to emphasize that early diagnosis and treatment of FMF are vital for the patient's quality of life. The presence of MEP can serve as a valuable indicator for identifying it."

Verrucous carcinomas have low metastatic potential, but are high risk for local invasion. We describe a patient with a 20-year history of a slowly growing, ulcerated, verrucous plaque on the sole of the left foot that was erroneously treated for years as verruca plantaris and was eventually diagnosed as invasive verrucous carcinoma. Verrucous carcinomas are a diagnostic challenge due to clinical and histopathologic mimicry of benign lesions. Mohs micrographic surgery should be employed to allow the ability to intraoperatively assess tumor margins while excising the minimal amount of necessary tissue. It is important for clinicians to recognize the characteristics and accurately diagnose verrucous carcinomas. Delays in treatment may require more extensive dissection or amputation."

The syndrome usually results from a germline mutation in one or more mismatch repair genes. Iatrogenic or acquired immunosuppression can promote the appearance of sebaceous tumors, either as an isolated event or as a feature of Muir-Torre syndrome and may unmask individuals genetically predisposed to the syndrome. Two iatrogenically immunosuppressed men with Muir-Torre syndrome features are described. Similar to these immunocompromised men, Muir-Torre syndrome-associated sebaceous neoplasms have occurred in solid organ transplant recipients, human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals, and patients with chronic diseases who are treated with immunosuppressive agents. Muir-Torre syndrome-associated sebaceous neoplasms occur more frequently and earlier in kidney recipients, who are receiving more post-transplant immunosuppressive agents, than in liver recipients. The development of sebaceous neoplasms is decreased by replacing cyclosporine or tacrolimus with sirolimus or everolimus. Specific anti-cancer vaccines or checkpoint blockade immunotherapy may merit exploration for immune-interception of Muir-Torre syndrome-associated sebaceous neoplasms and syndrome-related visceral cancers. We suggest germline testing for genomic aberrations of mismatch repair genes should routinely be performed in all patients-both immunocompetent and immunosuppressed-who develop a Muir-Torre syndrome-associated sebaceous neoplasm."

It is characterized by either restriction of the tumor cells within the epidermis or the presence of tumor cells contiguous with the overlying epidermis that extend into the underlying dermis, or both. Importantly, cancer invasion-demonstrated by non-contiguous aggregates of basaloid tumor cells in the dermis-is not a feature of in situ basal cell carcinoma of the skin. A 63-year-old woman with cutaneous basal cell carcinoma in situ-superficial type that presented as an erythematous scaly plaque on her abdomen and a 61-year-old man with a cutaneous basal cell carcinoma in situ-fibroepithelioma type that presented as a flesh-colored smooth exophytic nodule on his back are reported.

Other than chronological time, it has been discovered that gender, ethnicity, air pollution, smoking, nutrition, and sun exposure are notable risk factors that influence the development of skin ageing phenotypes such as wrinkles and photo-ageing. These risk factors can be quantified through epidemiological collection methods. We previously studied wrinkles and photo-ageing in detail using photo-numeric scales. The analysis was performed on the ethnic Chinese skin by three trained assessors. Recent studies have shown that it is possible to use self-reported data to identify skin-related changes including skin colour and skin cancer.

Contemporary clinico-serologic categorization identifies 5 main clinical groups which can be further stratified based on age, specific clinical manifestations and/or risk for cancer. The serological biomarkers for this classification are generally known as myositis-specific (MSAs) and myositis-associated antibodies. Based on the use of these antibodies, IIM patients are classified into anti-synthetase syndrome, dermatomyositis, immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy, inclusion body myositis, and overlap myositis. The current classification criteria for IIM requires clinical findings, laboratory measurements, and histological findings of the muscles. However, the use MSAs and myositis-associated autoantibodies as an adjunct for disease evaluation is thought to provide a cost-effective personalized approach that may not only guide diagnosis but aid in stratification and/or prognosis of patients. This review provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary autoantibodies that are specific or associated myositis.

+5052,skin cancer,38762064,Keratinocytes Present Staphylococcus aureus Enterotoxins and Promote Malignant and Nonmalignant T Cell Proliferation in Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma.,"Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma is characterized by malignant T cells proliferating in a unique tumor microenvironment dominated by keratinocytes (KCs). Skin colonization and infection by Staphylococcus aureus are a common cause of morbidity and are suspected of fueling disease activity. In this study, we show that expression of HLA-DRs, high-affinity receptors for staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs), by KCs correlates with IFN-γ expression in the tumor microenvironment. Importantly, IFN-γ induces HLA-DR, SE binding, and SE presentation by KCs to malignant T cells from patients with Sézary syndrome and malignant and nonmalignant T-cell lines derived from patients with Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides. Likewise, preincubation of KCs with supernatant from patient-derived SE-producing S aureus triggers proliferation in malignant T cells and cytokine release (including IL-2), when cultured with nonmalignant T cells. This is inhibited by pretreatment with engineered bacteriophage S aureus-specific endolysins. Furthermore, alteration in the HLA-DR-binding sites of SE type A and small interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of Jak3 and IL-2Rγ block induction of malignant T-cell proliferation. In conclusion, we show that upon exposure to patient-derived S aureus and SE, KCs stimulate IL-2Rγ/Jak3-dependent proliferation of malignant and nonmalignant T cells in an environment with nonmalignant T cells. These findings suggest that KCs in the tumor microenvironment play a key role in S aureus-mediated disease activity in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma."

Despite many similarities between these neoplasms in both species, only a limited number of studies have approached these entities in a comparative manner. Therefore, this review compares benign and malignant melanocytic neoplasms in dogs and humans, exclusively those arising in the haired skin, with regard to their clinicopathological, immunohistochemical and molecular aspects. Shared features include spontaneous occurrence, macroscopic features and microscopic findings when comparing human skin melanoma in the advanced/invasive stage and canine cutaneous melanoma, immunohistochemical markers and several histopathological prognostic factors. Differences include the apparent absence of active mutations in the BRAF gene in canine cutaneous melanoma and less aggressive clinical behaviour in dogs than in humans. Further studies are required to elucidate the aetiology and genetic development pathways of canine cutaneous melanocytic neoplasms. Evaluation of the applicability of histopathological prognostic parameters commonly used in humans for dogs are also needed. The similarities between the species and the recent findings regarding genetic mutations in canine cutaneous melanomas suggest the potential utility of dogs as a natural model for human melanomas that are not related to ultraviolet radiation."

It spreads quickly and is not easy to detect in the early stages, posing a major threat to human health. In recent years, deep learning methods have attracted widespread attention for skin cancer detection in dermoscopic images. However, training a practical classifier becomes highly challenging due to inter-class similarity and intra-class variation in skin lesion images. To address these problems, we propose a multi-scale fusion structure that combines shallow and deep features for more accurate classification. Simultaneously, we implement three approaches to the problem of class imbalance: class weighting, label smoothing, and resampling. In addition, the HAM10000_RE dataset strips out hair features to demonstrate the role of hair features in the classification process. We demonstrate that the region of interest is the most critical classification feature for the HAM10000_SE dataset, which segments lesion regions. We evaluated the effectiveness of our model using the HAM10000 and ISIC2019 dataset. The results showed that this method performed well in dermoscopic classification tasks, with ACC and AUC of 94.0% and 99.3%, on the HAM10000 dataset and ACC of 89.8% for the ISIC2019 dataset. The overall performance of our model is excellent in comparison to state-of-the-art models."

+5059,skin cancer,38761266,Neoadjuvant Photodynamic Therapy: An Updated Therapeutic Approach for Non-Melanoma Skin Cancers.,"Non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) are the most common malignancy and surgical excision is considered treatment of choice for the majority of cases. However, surgery can be very extensive in cases of large, multiple, or cosmetic-sensitive tumors located on areas such as scalp and face or genital region, leading to significant functional and cosmetic deficit. Aminolaevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) has emerged as a widely used approach in a variety of skin diseases, demonstrating remarkable efficacy in treatment of actinic keratosis, Bowen disease and basal cell carcinoma. Besides, when employed as a preoperative intervention, ALA-PDT effectively reduces tumor size and minimizes subsequent local surgical morbidity. With its minimally invasive nature and proven effectiveness, ALA-PDT holds significant promise as a neoadjuvant treatment option for NMSCs. In cases where the tumor is large, invasive, multiple, or located in cosmetically and functionally sensitive areas, or when considering patient factors such as age, comorbidity, willingness to undergo surgery, and post-operative quality-of-life, surgical intervention or radiotherapy alone may be impracticable or unacceptable. In such scenarios, neoadjuvant ALA-PDT can offer remarkable outcomes. In order to further ensure the maximum benefit of patients from neoadjuvant PDT, collaboration with multidisciplinary teams and whole-process management may be in need."

Among these, leukemia cutis refers specifically to ectopic deposition and proliferation of malignant myeloid cells within the skin. This infiltration pathogenesis remains unclear. Although there are numerous reports of leukemia cutis in the setting of acute myeloid leukemia or primary acute myeloid leukemia, there are no specific reports of leukemia cutis in the setting of relapsed acute myeloid leukemia. CASE REPORT A 59-year-old woman, with a history of remission from poor-risk acute myeloid leukemia, previously treated with chemotherapy and allogenic bone marrow transplant, presented with shortness of breath, lethargy, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and subcutaneous nodules on lower extremities. Leukemia cutis was diagnosed, in the setting of relapsed acute myeloid leukemia. After unsuccessful salvage chemotherapy and being deemed unsuitable for further treatment, she pursued palliative care and died a month later. CONCLUSIONS Our case highlights a lack of reporting or making a distinction of those patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia and leukemia cutis. Consequently, it can be deduced that patients who simultaneously have relapsed acute myeloid leukemia and leukemia cutis are expected to fare worse in terms of clinical outcomes than those with primary acute myeloid leukemia and leukemia cutis. Relapsed acute myeloid leukemia patients with leukemia cutis should be classified as a distinct group, warranting further research into aggressive therapeutic targets and survival rates, while emphasizing the need for more vigilant follow-up and lower biopsy thresholds for cutaneous lesions in patients with treated hematologic malignancies."

Effective therapy depends on the early diagnosis of skin cancer through the precise classification of skin lesions. However, dermatologists may find it difficult and time-consuming to accurately classify skin lesions. The use of transfer learning to boost skin cancer classification model precision is a promising strategy. In this work, we proposed a hybrid CNN with a transfer learning model and a random forest classifier for skin cancer disease detection. To evaluate the efficacy of the proposed model, it was verified over two datasets of benign skin moles and malignant skin moles. The proposed model is able to classify images with an accuracy of up to 90.11%. The empirical results and analysis assure the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model for skin cancer classification."

Here, we report integrative molecular and spatial characterization of 147 AMs using genomics, bulk and single-cell transcriptomics, and spatial transcriptomics and proteomics. Vertical invasion from AMis to iAM displays an early and monoclonal seeding pattern.

The RP2D is 375 mg PO BID, with an uveal melanoma patient exhibiting a 15% reduction in tumor mass for 5 months at this dose. Studies in this manuscript have defined the biology of GZ17-6.02 in PDX isolates of uveal melanoma cells. GZ17-6.02 killed uveal melanoma cells through multiple convergent signals including enhanced ATM-AMPK-mTORC1 activity, inactivation of YAP/TAZ and inactivation of eIF2α. GZ17-6.02 significantly enhanced the expression of BAP1, predictive to reduce metastasis, and reduced the levels of ERBB family RTKs, predicted to reduce growth. GZ17-6.02 interacted with doxorubicin or ERBB family inhibitors to significantly enhance tumor cell killing which was associated with greater levels of autophagosome formation and autophagic flux. Knock down of Beclin1, ATG5 or eIF2α were more protective than knock down of ATM, AMPKα, CD95 or FADD, however, over-expression of FLIP-s provided greater protection compared to knock down of CD95 or FADD. Expression of activated forms of mTOR and STAT3 significantly reduced tumor cell killing. GZ17-6.02 reduced the expression of PD-L1 in uveal melanoma cells to a similar extent as observed in cutaneous melanoma cells whereas it was less effective at enhancing the levels of MHCA. The components of GZ17-6.02 were detected in tumors using a syngeneic tumor model. Our data support future testing GZ17-6.02 in uveal melanoma as a single agent, in combination with ERBB family inhibitors, in combination with cytotoxic drugs, or with an anti-PD1 immunotherapy."

However, continuous improvements to systems are needed to achieve clinical viability. To this end, the numerical models employed in simulation studies need to be diversified, anatomically accurate, and also representative of the cases in clinical settings. Hence, we have created the first open-access repository of 3D anatomically accurate numerical models of the breast, derived from 3.0T Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) of benign breast disease and breast cancer patients. The models include normal breast tissues (fat, fibroglandular, skin, and muscle tissues), and benign and cancerous breast tumors. The repository contains easily reconfigurable models which can be tumor-free or contain single or multiple tumors, allowing complex and realistic test scenarios needed for feasibility and performance assessment of MWI devices prior to experimental and clinical testing. It also includes an executable file which enables researchers to generate models incorporating the dielectric properties of breast tissues at a chosen frequency ranging from 3 to 10 GHz, thereby ensuring compatibility with a wide spectrum of research requirements and stages of development for any breast MWI prototype system. Currently, our dataset comprises MRI scans of 55 patients, but new exams will be continuously added."
+5075,skin cancer,38758740,Somatic structural variants drive distinct modes of oncogenesis in melanoma.,"The diversity of structural variants (SVs) in melanoma and how they impact oncogenesis are incompletely known. We performed harmonized analysis of SVs across melanoma histologic and genomic subtypes, and we identified distinct global properties between subtypes. These included the frequency and size of SVs and SV classes, their relation to chromothripsis events, and the impact on cancer-related genes of SVs that alter topologically associated domain (TAD) boundaries. Following our prior identification of double-stranded break repair deficiency in a subset of triple-wild-type cutaneous melanoma, we identified MRE11 and NBN loss-of-function SVs in melanomas with this mutational signature. Experimental knockouts of MRE11 and NBN, followed by olaparib cell viability assays in melanoma cells, indicated that dysregulation of each of these genes may cause sensitivity to PARP inhibitors in cutaneous melanomas. Broadly, harmonized analysis of melanoma SVs revealed distinct global genomic properties and molecular drivers, which may have biological and therapeutic impact."

Physical examination revealed numerous dome-shaped, ruby-red papules. These were consistent with a previous diagnosis of cutaneous hemangiomas. Cherry hemangiomas (also known as Campbell de Morgan spots) are the most common type of benign vascular proliferation of the skin. Due to the nonspecific 68 Ga-PSMA-11 uptake of vascular lesions, careful interpretation should be considered in order to avoid a potential pitfall in nonmalignant conditions."
+5077,skin cancer,38758498,Unravelling the success of transferosomes against skin cancer: Journey so far and road ahead.,"Skin cancer remains one of the most prominent types of cancer. Melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer are commonly found together, with melanoma being the more deadly type. Skin cancer can be effectively treated with chemotherapy, which mostly uses small molecular medicines, phytoceuticals, and biomacromolecules. Topical delivery of these therapeutics is a non-invasive way that might be useful in effectively managing skin cancer. Different skin barriers, however, presented a major obstacle to topical cargo administration. Transferosomes have demonstrated significant potential in topical delivery by improving cargo penetration through the circumvention of diverse skin barriers. Additionally, the transferosome-based gel can prolong the residence of drug on the skin, lowering the frequency of doses and their associated side effects. However, the choice of appropriate transferosome compositions, such as phospholipids and edge activators, and fabrication technique are crucial for achieving improved entrapment efficiency, penetration, and regulated particle size. The present review discusses skin cancer overview, current treatment strategies for skin cancer and their drawbacks. Topical drug delivery against skin cancer is also covered, along with the difficulties associated with it and the importance of transferosomes in avoiding these difficulties. Additionally, a summary of transferosome compositions and fabrication methods is provided. Furthermore, topical delivery of small molecular drugs, phytoceuticals, and biomacromolecules using transferosomes and transferosomes-based gel in treating skin cancer is discussed. Thus, transferosomes can be a significant option in the topical delivery of drugs to manage skin cancer efficiently."
+5078,skin cancer,38758457,Common skin cancers and their association with other non-cutaneous primary malignancies: a review of the literature.,"It has long been recognized that a history of skin cancer puts one at risk for additional primary skin cancers. However, more variable data exists for the risk of developing a non-cutaneous primary cancer following a diagnosis of skin cancer. The data are most variable for Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), the most common and least aggressive type of skin cancer. While early studies imply that BCC does not impart a larger risk of other primary non-cutaneous cancers, more recent studies with larger populations suggest otherwise. The cancers most significantly associated with BCC are lip, oropharyngeal, and salivary gland cancer. There is also burgeoning evidence to suggest a link between BCC and prostate, breast, and colorectal cancer, but more data are needed to draw a concrete conclusion. Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), the second most common type of skin cancer, has a slightly more defined risk to other non-cutaneous primary malignancies. There is a notable link between SCC and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), possibly due to immunosuppression. There is also an increased risk of other cancers derived from squamous epithelium following SCC, including oropharyngeal, lip, and salivary gland cancer. Some studies also suggest an increased risk of respiratory tract cancer following SCC, possibly due to shared risk factors. Melanoma, a more severe type of skin cancer, shows a well-defined risk of additional primary non-cutaneous malignancies. The most significant of these risks include NHL, thyroid cancer, prostate cancer, and breast cancer along with a host of other cancers. Each of these three main skin cancer types has a profile of genetic mutations that have also been linked to non-cutaneous malignancies. In this review, we discuss a selection of these genes to highlight the complex interplay between different tumorigenesis processes."

Persistent HPV infections can lead to cancer frequently involving integration of the virus into the host genome, leading to sustained oncogene expression and loss of capsid and genome maintenance proteins. Microhomology-mediated double-strand break repair, a DNA double-stranded breaks repair pathway present in many organisms, was initially thought to be a backup but it's now seen as vital, especially in homologous recombination-deficient contexts. Increasing evidence has identified microhomology (MH) near HPV integration junctions, suggesting MH-mediated repair pathways drive integration. In this comprehensive review, we present a detailed summary of both the mechanisms underlying MH-mediated repair and the evidence for its involvement in HPV integration in cancer. Lastly, we highlight the involvement of these processes in the integration of other DNA viruses and the broader implications on virus lifecycles and host innate immune response."

Organogels, a promising class of topical drug delivery systems, have acquired substantial attention for enhancing drug delivery efficiency. This review article aims to explore the advantages of organogels, including enhanced drug solubility, controlled release, improved skin penetration, non-greasy formulations, and ease of application. The mechanism of organogel permeation into the skin is discussed, along with formulation strategies, which encompass the selection of gelling agents, cogelling agents, and additives while considering the influence of temperature and pH on gel formation. Various types of organogelators and organogels and their properties, such as viscoelasticity, non-birefringence, thermal stability, and optical clarity, are presented. Moreover, the biomedical applications of organogels in targeting skin cancer, anti-inflammatory drug delivery, and antifungal drug delivery are discussed. Characterization parameters, biocompatibility, safety considerations, and future directions in optimizing skin permeation, ensuring long-term stability, addressing regulatory challenges, and exploring potential combination therapies are thoroughly examined. Overall, this review highlights the immense potential of organogels in redefining topical drug delivery and their significant impact on the field of dermatological treatments, thus paving the way for exciting prospects in the domain."
+5089,skin cancer,38757678,Enhanced Therapeutic Efficacy Against Melanoma through Exosomal Delivery of Hesperidin.,"Melanoma, characterized as the most aggressive and metastatic form of skin cancer, currently has limited treatment options, predominantly chemotherapy and radiation therapy. However, the drawbacks associated with parenterally administered chemotherapy underscore the urgent need for alternative compounds to combat melanoma effectively. Hesperidin (HES), a flavonoid present in various citrus fruits, exhibits promising anticancer activity. Nevertheless, the clinical utility of HES is hindered by challenges such as poor water solubility, a short half-life, and low oral bioavailability. In response to these limitations, we introduced a novel approach by formulating HES-loaded exosomes (Exo-HES). Isolation of exosomes was achieved through the ultracentrifugation method, and HES was efficiently loaded using the sonication method. The resulting formulations displayed a desirable particle size (∼106 nm) and exhibited a spherical morphology, as confirmed by scanning electron and atomic force microscopy. In vitro studies conducted on B16F10 cell lines demonstrated higher cytotoxicity of Exo-HES compared to free HES, supported by enhanced cellular uptake validated through coumarin-6-loaded exosomes. This superior cytotoxicity was further evidenced by DNA fragmentation, increased generation of free radicals (ROS), loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, and effective inhibition of colony formation. The antimetastatic properties of Exo-HES were confirmed through wound healing and transwell migration assays. Oral pharmacokinetics studies revealed a remarkable increase of approximately 2.5 times in oral bioavailability and half-life of HES when loaded into exosomes. Subsequent in vivo experiments utilizing a B16F10-induced melanoma model in Swiss mice established that Exo-HES exhibited superior anticancer activity compared to HES after oral administration. Importantly, no biochemical, hematological, or histological toxicities were observed in tumor-bearing mice treated with Exo-HES. These findings suggest that exosomes loaded with HES represent a promising nanocarrier strategy to enhance the therapeutic effectiveness of hesperidin in melanoma treatment."

His past medical history included metastatic melanoma of unknown primary involving right and left axillary lymph nodes, treated with ipilimumab/nivolumab with complete response, and subsequent primary uveal melanoma. The subcutaneous nodule was located near his previous right axillary scar for metastatic melanoma. Excision of the nodule showed a plexiform neoplasm involving mid and deep dermis composed of spindle and epithelioid atypical cells admixed with numerous melanophages. Central necrosis was present. Immunohistochemical studies revealed the tumor cells to be diffusely positive for HMB45, with retained expression of BAP1 and p16. The tumor cells were negative for PRAME, nuclear expression of β-catenin, LEF1, and BRAF V600E. Molecular studies demonstrated BAP1 and GNA11 somatic mutations, a profile different from that exhibited by his prior melanoma. Collectively, these data were interpreted as a metastasis from uveal melanoma and not a recurrence of his metastatic likely cutaneous melanoma after complete response to immunotherapy. This case emphasizes the importance of molecular studies for definitive diagnosis in challenging clinical situations, especially when there is discordance among histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular studies. Integration of clinical, histopathological, and molecular features is warranted."

+5093,skin cancer,38757342,LncRNA microarray profiling identifies novel circulating lncRNAs in hidradenitis suppurativa.,"Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to be involved in biological processes, both physiological and pathological, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune hepatitis and types I and II diabetes. LncRNAs are also known to have a critical role in the physiology of skin, and in the pathology of cutaneous diseases. LncRNAs are involved in a wide range of biological activities, including transcriptional post‑transcriptional processes, epigenetics, RNA splicing, gene activation and or silencing, modifications and/or editing; therefore, lncRNAs may be useful as potential targets for disease treatment. Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), also termed acne inversa, is a major skin disease, being an inflammatory disorder that affects ~1% of global population in a chronic manner. Its pathogenesis, however, is only partly understood, although immune dysregulation is known to have an important role. To investigate the biological relevance of lncRNAs with HS, the most differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs were first compared. Furthermore, the lncRNA‑microRNA regulatory network was also defined via reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR analysis, whereby a trio of lncRNA expression signatures, lncRNA‑TINCR, lncRNA‑RBM5‑ASI1 and lncRNA‑MRPL23‑AS1, were found to be significantly overexpressed in patients with HS compared with healthy controls. In conclusion, the three lncRNAs isolated in the present study may be useful for improving the prognostic prediction of HS, as well as contributing towards an improved understanding of the underlying pathogenic mechanisms, thereby potentially providing new therapeutic targets."

Antibodies against Melan-A are thus used for identifying melanocytic tumors, but some Melan-A antibodies show an additional - diagnostically useful - cross-reactivity against an unspecified protein involved in corticosteroid hormone synthesis. To comprehensively compare the staining patterns of a specific and a cross-reactive Melan-A antibody in normal and neoplastic tissues, tissue microarrays containing 15,840 samples from 133 different tumor types and subtypes as well as 608 samples of 76 different normal tissue types were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. For the Melan-A-specific antibody 'Melan-A specific' (MSVA-900M), Melan-A positivity was seen in 96.0% of 25 benign nevi, 93.0% of 40 primary and 86.7% of 75 metastatic melanomas, 82.4% of 85 renal angiomyolipomas as well as 96.4% of 84 neurofibromas, 2.2% of 46 granular cell tumors, 1.0% of 104 schwannomas, and 1.1% of 87 leiomyosarcomas. The cross-reactive antibody 'Melan-A+' (MSVA-901M+) stained 98.1% of the tumors stained by 'Melan-A specific'. In addition, high positivity rates were seen in sex-cord-stroma tumors of the ovary (35.3%-100%) and the testis (86.7%) as well as for adrenocortical neoplasms (76.3%-83.0%). Only nine further tumor groups showed Melan-A+ staining, including five different categories of urothelial carcinomas. Our data provide a comprehensive overview on the staining patterns of specific and cross-reactive Melan-A antibodies. The data demonstrate that both antibodies are highly useful for their specific purpose. It is important for pathologists to distinguish these two Melan-A antibody subtypes for their daily work."

PIM2 is a well-known oncogene and is regulated by cell signaling pathways like the JAK/STAT- and NF-kB-pathway, key regulators in the pathogenesis of CTCL. The aim of this study was to examine the role of PIM2 in MF. PIM2 gene expression was measured in 81 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded skin biopsies from patients with MF and 46 control biopsies from healthy skin (HS) and benign inflammatory skin disease (BID). Validation of PIM2 protein expression was performed on selected biopsies with immunohistochemical staining. We found a significant difference in gene expression levels between both early stage MF and HS (p < 0.0001), and BID (p < 0.0001). In addition, the PIM2 gene expression was higher in advanced-stage MF compared to early stage disease (p = 0.0001). No significant difference in gene expression levels was found between patients with and without disease progression. In conclusion, we found PIM2 expression is significantly increased in MF compared to controls, and in advanced-stage MF compared to early stage MF. These findings could potentially have diagnostic value in discriminating early stage MF from BID."

UV radiation (UVR) from sunlight (UVA + UVB) is a major cause of skin photodamage including skin inflammation, aging and pigmentation. Accidental exposure to UVC burns the skin and induces skin cancer. In addition to the skin, UV radiation can also impair visual function. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are a class of functional RNAs that do not have coding activity but can control cellular processes at the post-transcriptional level, including microRNA (miRNA), long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and circulatory RNA (circRNA). Through a review of the literature, it was determined that UVR can affect the expression of various ncRNAs, and that this regulation may be wavelength specific. Functionally, ncRNAs participate in the regulation of photodamage through various pathways and play pathogenic or protective regulatory roles. In addition, ncRNAs that are upregulated or downregulated by UVR can serve as biomarkers for UV-induced diseases, aiding in diagnosis and prognosis assessment. Therapeutic strategies targeting ncRNAs, including the use of natural drugs and their extracts, have shown protective effects against UV-induced photodamage. In the present review, an extensive summarization of previous studies was performed and the role and mechanism of ncRNAs in UV-induced radiation effects was reviewed to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of UV-related diseases."
+5101,skin cancer,38756868,Metastatic patterns and treatment options for head and neck cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (Review).,"According to current predictions, one-fifth of all Americans will develop skin cancer during their lifetime. Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) most commonly occurs in the head and neck region, which is the area of the body with the highest level of sun exposure. High-risk head and neck cSCC (HNcSCC) is a broad category with numerous high-risk factors that are associated with unfavorable results. In cSCC staging systems, clinical and tumor traits that are likely to result in poor outcomes are identified. Metastasis occurs in ~2.5% of patients with cSCC, most often in the local lymph nodes, and there is some indication that lymph node metastasis has a distinct pattern based on the tumor site. Current findings on tumor molecular targets have suggested the use of systemic treatments, particularly immunotherapy (such as cemiplimab, pembrolizumab and nivolumab), over radiotherapy or chemotherapy for this type of metastasis. However, when used simultaneously with immunotherapy, radiotherapy may be beneficial in the treatment of metastatic HNcSCC by improving the efficacy of immunotherapy. The present review aims to assess the existing literature on metastatic HNcSCC pathways and treatment options, in order to define current and future directions.

Tumors of the ampulla are classified into four distinct subtypes based on the location and involvement of surrounding structures. Most reported cases are of renal cell or malignant skin melanoma primary with only five previously reported cases of breast primary found in a literature review. We present a 72-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer to the ampulla of Vater as well as multiple bones. She had a history of breast cancer status post bilateral mastectomy and chemo 27 years prior. She presented to the hospital with altered mental status and was found to have an acute liver injury. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography revealed a distended gallbladder and an indeterminate left retroperitoneal mass concerning for cystic or necrotic lymphadenopathy. Endoscopy then showed an edematous and erythematous periampullary region, which was biopsied and returned positive for carcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining of the retroperitoneal mass returned positive for keratin, estrogen receptor, GATA3, and MOC31 and negative for progesterone receptor, WT1, calretinin, and E-cadherin. The periampullary region's immunohistochemistry returned positive for pankeratin (AE1/AE3) and CD138 and negative for CD45 and S100, supporting a diagnosis of primary breast carcinoma. The average time from diagnosis of breast cancer to metastasis was found to be 2.5 years. Endoscopic visual presentation of metastatic cancer to the ampulla is indistinguishable from that of primary cancers. Thus, a biopsy with cytology and immunohistochemical analysis is necessary for diagnosis. Management of secondary ampullary tumors requires a multidisciplinary team, including gastroenterology, surgery, oncology, and often palliative care. Secondary tumors have been found to be treated by any combination of Whipple's resections, chemotherapy, drainage/stenting, and endoscopic ampullectomy."

The animals were divided into six equal groups. Animals in the control group (n = 10) did not receive any treatment. The animals in the experimental group were administered Ivermectin [three times a week, n = 10, subcutaneous, (SC)], Tarantula cubensis extract (twice a week, n = 10, SC), autologous vaccine (three times at 10-day intervals, n = 10, SC), levamisole [twice at one-week intervals, n = 10, intramuscular (IM)], and levamisole + Tarantula cubensis extract (concurrently). All animals used in the study were monitored for three months at an interval of 15 days. No regression was detected in the papillomas of the control group animals, but recovery was recorded in animals treated with ivermectin at a rate of 70% (7/10), while it was 60% (6/10) in those treated with T. cubensis extract, 100% (10/10) in those treated with autovaccine, 50% (5/10) in those treated with levamisole, and 90% (9/10) in those treated with the combination of T. cubensis extract + levamisole. Significant differences were found between the control group and all treatment groups. Recovery mostly occurred within 45-60 days (P < 0.05).

Depending on the tumor's location and size, they can cause severe problems (e.g., defaecation, urination, feeding). A feasible therapy for EMM has not yet been established and surgical excision can be difficult depending on the location of the melanoma. Thus, an effective and safe therapy is needed. Naturally occurring betulinic acid (BA), a pentacyclic triterpene and its synthetic derivate, NVX-207 (3-acetyl-betulinic acid-2-amino-3-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-propanoate) are known for their cytotoxic properties against melanomas and other tumors and have already shown good safety and tolerability in vivo.

However, the effectiveness of PDT is hindered by the hydrophobicity of photosensitizers. Here, chlorin e6 (Ce6), a hydrophobic photosensitizer, was loaded into pluronic F127 micelles to enhance solubility and improve tumor-specific targeting efficiency. The resulting Ce6@F127 Ms demonstrated a significant increase in solubility and singlet oxygen generation (SOG) efficiency in aqueous media compared to free Ce6. The confocal imaging and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis confirmed the enhanced internalization rate of Ce6@F127 Ms in murine melanoma cell lines (B16F10) and human oral carcinoma cell lines (FaDu). Upon laser irradiation (666 nm), the cellular phototoxicity of Ce6@F127 Ms against B16F10 and FaDu was approximately three times higher than the free Ce6 treatment. The in vivo therapeutic investigations conducted on a murine model of skin cancer demonstrated the ability of Ce6@F127 Ms, when combined with laser treatment, to penetrate solid tumors effectively, which resulted in a significant reduction in tumor volume compared to free Ce6. Further, the Ce6@F127 Ms demonstrated upregulation of TUNEL-positive cells, downregulation of proliferation markers in tumor tissues, and prevention of lung metastasis with insignificant levels of proliferating cells and collagenase, as validated through immunohistochemistry. Subsequent analysis of serum and blood components affirmed the safety and efficacy of Ce6@F127 Ms in mice. Consequently, the developed Ce6@F127 Ms exhibits significant potential for concurrently treating solid tumors and preventing metastasis. The photodynamic formulation holds great clinical translation potential for treating superficial tumors."

An independent validation cohort (n = 79) was used to validate the performance of hypoalbuminemia compared to serum LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) levels. Pre-treatment hypoalbuminemia emerged as the strongest predictor of poor outcome for both OS (HR = 4.01, 95% CI 2.10-7.67, Cox P = 2.63e-05) and PFS (HR = 3.72, 95% CI 2.06-6.73, Cox P = 1.38e-05) in univariate analysis. In multivariate analysis, the association of hypoalbuminemia with PFS was independent of serum LDH, IFN-γ signature expression, TMB, age, ECOG PS, treatment line, treatment type (combination or monotherapy), brain and liver metastasis (HR = 2.76, 95% CI 1.24-6.13, Cox P = 0.0131). Our validation cohort confirmed the prognostic power of hypoalbuminemia for OS (HR = 1.98, 95% CI 1.16-3.38; Cox P = 0.0127) and was complementary to serum LDH in analyses for both OS (LDH-adjusted HR = 2.12, 95% CI 1.2-3.72, Cox P = 0.00925) and PFS (LDH-adjusted HR = 1.91, 95% CI 1.08-3.38, Cox P = 0.0261).

Early detection seems to be more crucial for reducing aberrant cell proliferation because the mortality rate is rapidly rising. Although multiple researches are available based on the skin cancer detection, there still exists challenges in improving the accuracy, reducing the computational time and so on. In this research, a novel skin cancer detection is performed using a modified falcon finch deep Convolutional neural network classifier (Modified Falcon finch deep CNN) that efficiently detects the disease with higher efficiency. The usage of modified falcon finch deep CNN classifier effectively analyzed the information relevant to the skin cancer and the errors are also minimized. The inclusion of the falcon finch optimization in the deep CNN classifier is necessary for efficient parameter tuning. This tuning enhanced the robustness and boosted the convergence of the classifier that detects the skin cancer in less stipulated time. The modified falcon finch deep CNN classifier achieved accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity values of 93.59%, 92.14%, and 95.22% regarding k-fold and 96.52%, 96.69%, and 96.54% regarding training percentage, proving more effective than literary works."

However, the underlying epigenetic mechanism for this primary feather transition is mostly unknown. Here we conducted time-ordered gene co-expression network construction, epigenetic analysis, and functional perturbations in developing feather follicles to elucidate four downy-juvenile feather transition events. We report that extracellular matrix reorganization leads to peripheral pulp formation, which mediates epithelial-mesenchymal interactions for branching morphogenesis. α-SMA (ACTA2) compartmentalizes dermal papilla stem cells for feather renewal cycling. LEF1 works as a key hub of Wnt signaling to build rachis and converts radial downy to bilateral symmetry. Novel usage of scale keratins strengthens feather sheath with SOX14 as the epigenetic regulator. We show that this primary feather transition is largely conserved in chicken (precocial) and zebra finch (altricial) and discuss the possibility that this evolutionary adaptation process started in feathered dinosaurs."

In the past few years, there has been a growing interest among clinicians, mathematicians, and engineers regarding the use of computational and mathematical methods to simulate biological systems. Numerous medical proceedings also employ mathematical modeling and engineering techniques as a means to guarantee their safety and evaluate the associated risks effectively. This manuscript provides an analytical solution used for the first time to study the mechanism of biological thermal response during heat therapy on spheroidal skin tumor. The proposed method used a generalized thermoelasticity model with one relaxation time. The influence of relaxation times on the responses of diseased and healthy tissues is studied and interpreted graphically. Also, the impact of different laser irradiance on the thermal profile of the malignant tumor cells over a period of 2 minutes is interpreted graphically. To investigate the transfer of heat within biological tissues during the thermal therapy, the Laplace transform and inverse Laplace transform methods were applied. A comparison of the present generalized thermoelasticity model and different models based on Pennes bioheat transfer PBT shows that our proposed model yields more realistic and accurate predictions.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible therapeutic effect of HCS against breast cancer (BRCA) using cytology, network pharmacology, and molecular biology approaches. The half-inhibitory concentration (IC50) of HCS in the BRCA cells was determined by cytotoxicity assay, and were accordingly treated with high and low doses HCS in the TUNEL and scratch assays. The potential targets of HCS in the BRCA cells were identified through functional enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks, and verified by molecular docking. The expression levels of key signaling pathways-related proteins in HCS-treated BRCA cells by western blotting. HCS inhibited the proliferation and migration of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, and induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, we screened 289 core HCS targets against BRCA, which were primarily enriched in the PI3K-AKT, MAPK chemokines, and other. signaling pathways. In addition, PIK3CA, PIK3CD, and MTOR were confirmed as HCS targets by molecular docking. Consistent with this, we observed a reduction in the expression levels of phosphorylated PI3K, AKT, and MTOR in the HCS-treated BRCA cells. Taken together, our findings suggest that HCS inhibits the growth of BRCA cells by targeting the PI3K-AKT pathway, and warrants further investigation as a therapeutic agent for treating patients with BRCA."

Histologically verified basal cell carcinomas clinically assessed as suited for photodynamic therapy were included. The study aimed to investigate the agreement between clinical and histological assessments of basal cell carcinoma subtypes and thickness of tumours selected for photodynamic therapy with histopathological evaluation as a reference. A total of 343 tumours were included. The agreement between clinical and histological diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma subtype was 72% (p < 0.001). Clinical assessment of subtype had a sensitivity of 93% and specificity of 55% for superficial tumours and a sensitivity of 55% and specificity of 85% for nodular tumours. The mean ± SD thickness values by clinical and histological assessments were 0.95 ± 0.53 and 0.86 ± 0.75. The difference of 0.09 mm was statistically significant (p = 0.017), but not considered to be clinically relevant, although the differences between specific subgroups could be relevant. Among basal cell carcinomas clinically diagnosed as superficial, 91% were histologically consistent with the current photodynamic therapy criteria. The main results suggest that histopathological evaluation should precede photodynamic therapy to ensure selection of suitable basal cell carcinomas. In selected cases, the clinical diagnosis alone may be adequate before proceeding with photodynamic therapy."

It is sometimes difficult to obtain accurate registration of the neuronavigation with the patient in the prone position. Bony surface-matching registration should be more precise than skin surface-matching registration; however, it is difficult to establish bony registration with limited exposed bone. We created a new bony surface-matching method to a sectioned 3-dimensional (3D) virtual skull in a neuronavigation system and registered with a sectioned 3D skull. In this study, the bony surface-matching with sectioned 3D registration is applied to provide precise registration for brain tumor resection in the prone position."

However, cutaneous adverse reactions that cause dyspigmentation in patients have been rarely reported. Erythema dyschromicum perstans (EDP) is a rare pigmentary condition that causes ashy-grey hyperpigmented macules and patches, with a few cases reported from EGFRi in the literature.

The Monte Carlo Geant4 technique was used to construct a cubic geometry simulating human skin, and a 5 mm tumor spheroid was implanted at an adjustable depth x. Our findings show that injecting a very low concentration of 0.01% GNPs into a tumor located 1 cm below the skin's surface causes significant laser absorption of up to 25%, particularly in the 900 nm to 1200 nm range, resulting in a temperature increase of approximately 20%. It is an effective way to raise a tumor's temperature and cause cell death while preserving healthy cells. The addition of GNPs to a tumor during polychromatic laser exposure with a wavelength ranging from 900 nm to 1200 nm increases laser absorption and thus temperature while preserving areas without GNPs."
+5155,skin cancer,38750270,Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma characterized by MALDI mass spectrometry imaging in combination with machine learning.,"Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is an increasingly prevalent global health concern. Current diagnostic and surgical methods are reliable, but they require considerable resources and do not provide metabolomic insight. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) enables detailed, spatially resolved metabolomic analysis of tissue samples. Integrated with machine learning, MALDI-MSI could yield detailed information pertaining to the metabolic alterations characteristic for SCC. These insights have the potential to enhance SCC diagnosis and therapy, improving patient outcomes while tackling the growing disease burden. This study employs MALDI-MSI data, labelled according to histology, to train a supervised machine learning model (logistic regression) for the recognition and delineation of SCC. The model, based on data acquired from discrete tumor sections (n = 25) from a mouse model of SCC, achieved a predictive accuracy of 92.3% during cross-validation on the labelled data. A pathologist unacquainted with the dataset and tasked with evaluating the predictive power of the model in the unlabelled regions, agreed with the model prediction for over 99% of the tissue areas. These findings highlight the potential value of integrating MALDI-MSI with machine learning to characterize and delineate SCC, suggesting a promising direction for the advancement of mass spectrometry techniques in the clinical diagnosis of SCC and related keratinocyte carcinomas."
+5156,skin cancer,38750148,MRI-only based material mass density and relative stopping power estimation via deep learning for proton therapy: a preliminary study.,"Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is increasingly being used in treatment planning due to its superior soft tissue contrast, which is useful for tumor and soft tissue delineation compared to computed tomography (CT). However, MRI cannot directly provide mass density or relative stopping power (RSP) maps, which are required for calculating proton radiotherapy doses. Therefore, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into MRI-based treatment planning to estimate mass density and RSP directly from MRI has generated significant interest. A deep learning (DL) based framework was developed to establish a voxel-wise correlation between MR images and mass density as well as RSP. To facilitate the study, five tissue substitute phantoms were created, representing different tissues such as skin, muscle, adipose tissue, 45% hydroxyapatite (HA), and spongiosa bone. The composition of these phantoms was based on information from ICRP reports. Additionally, two animal tissue phantoms, simulating pig brain and liver, were prepared for DL training purposes. The phantom study involved the development of two DL models. The first model utilized clinical T1 and T2 MRI scans as input, while the second model incorporated zero echo time (ZTE) MRI scans. In the patient application study, two more DL models were trained: one using T1 and T2 MRI scans as input, and another model incorporating synthetic dual-energy computed tomography (sDECT) images to provide accurate bone tissue information. The DECT empirical model was used as a reference to evaluate the proposed models in both phantom and patient application studies. The DECT empirical model was selected as the reference for evaluating the proposed models in both phantom and patient application studies. In the phantom study, the DL model based on T1, and T2 MRI scans demonstrated higher accuracy in estimating mass density and RSP for skin, muscle, adipose tissue, brain, and liver. The mean absolute percentage errors (MAPE) were 0.42%, 0.14%, 0.19%, 0.78%, and 0.26% for mass density, and 0.30%, 0.11%, 0.16%, 0.61%, and 0.23% for RSP, respectively. The DL model incorporating ZTE MRI further improved the accuracy of mass density and RSP estimation for 45% HA and spongiosa bone, with MAPE values of 0.23% and 0.09% for mass density, and 0.19% and 0.07% for RSP, respectively. These results demonstrate the feasibility of using an MRI-only approach combined with DL methods for mass density and RSP estimation in proton therapy treatment planning. By employing this approach, it is possible to obtain the necessary information for proton radiotherapy directly from MRI scans, eliminating the need for additional imaging modalities."
+5157,skin cancer,38750105,Impairing hydrolase transport machinery prevents human melanoma metastasis.,"Metastases are the major cause of cancer-related death, yet, molecular weaknesses that could be exploited to prevent tumor cells spreading are poorly known. Here, we found that perturbing hydrolase transport to lysosomes by blocking either the expression of IGF2R, the main receptor responsible for their trafficking, or GNPT, a transferase involved in the addition of the specific tag recognized by IGF2R, reduces melanoma invasiveness potential. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that the perturbation of this traffic, leads to a compensatory lysosome neo-biogenesis devoided of degradative enzymes. This regulatory loop relies on the stimulation of TFEB transcription factor expression. Interestingly, the inhibition of this transcription factor playing a key role of lysosome production, restores melanomas' invasive potential in the absence of hydrolase transport. These data implicate that targeting hydrolase transport in melanoma could serve to develop new therapies aiming to prevent metastasis by triggering a physiological response stimulating TFEB expression in melanoma."
+5158,skin cancer,38750040,Simulating BRAFV600E-MEK-ERK signalling dynamics in response to vertical inhibition treatment strategies.,"In vertical inhibition treatment strategies, multiple components of an intracellular pathway are simultaneously inhibited. Vertical inhibition of the BRAFV600E-MEK-ERK signalling pathway is a standard of care for treating BRAFV600E-mutated melanoma where two targeted cancer drugs, a BRAFV600E-inhibitor, and a MEK inhibitor, are administered in combination. Targeted therapies have been linked to early onsets of drug resistance, and thus treatment strategies of higher complexities and lower doses have been proposed as alternatives to current clinical strategies. However, finding optimal complex, low-dose treatment strategies is a challenge, as it is possible to design more treatment strategies than are feasibly testable in experimental settings. To quantitatively address this challenge, we develop a mathematical model of BRAFV600E-MEK-ERK signalling dynamics in response to combinations of the BRAFV600E-inhibitor dabrafenib (DBF), the MEK inhibitor trametinib (TMT), and the ERK-inhibitor SCH772984 (SCH). From a model of the BRAFV600E-MEK-ERK pathway, and a set of molecular-level drug-protein interactions, we extract a system of chemical reactions that is parameterised by in vitro data and converted to a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using the law of mass action. The ODEs are solved numerically to produce simulations of how pathway-component concentrations change over time in response to different treatment strategies, i.e., inhibitor combinations and doses. The model can thus be used to limit the search space for effective treatment strategies that target the BRAFV600E-MEK-ERK pathway and warrant further experimental investigation. The results demonstrate that DBF and DBF-TMT-SCH therapies show marked sensitivity to BRAFV600E concentrations in silico, whilst TMT and SCH monotherapies do not."

Current diagnosis of skin cancer largely relies on visual inspections such as dermoscopy examinations, clinical screening and histopathological examinations. However, these approaches are characterized by low efficiency, high costs, and a lack of guaranteed accuracy. Consequently, deep learning based techniques have emerged in the field of melanoma detection, successfully aiding in improving the accuracy of diagnosis. However, the high similarity between benign and malignant melanomas, combined with the class imbalance issue in skin lesion datasets, present a significant challenge in further improving the diagnosis accuracy. We propose a two-stage framework for melanoma detection to address these issues."

Through immune gene deconvolution, the present study revealed an interplay between NK cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in nonresponders of immune checkpoint therapy. Given that the mechanisms governing the outcome of NK cell-to-myeloid cell interactions remain largely unknown, we sought to investigate the cross-talk between NK cells and suppressive myeloid cells. Upon contact with tumor-experienced NK cells, monocytes and neutrophils displayed increased expression of MDSC-related suppressive factors along with increased capacities to suppress T cells. These changes were accompanied by impaired antigen presentation by monocytes and increased ER stress response by neutrophils. In a cohort of patients with sarcoma and breast cancer, the production of interleukin-6 (IL-6) by tumor-infiltrating NK cells correlated with S100A8/9 and arginase-1 expression by MDSCs. At the same time, NK cell-derived IL-6 was associated with tumors with higher major histocompatibility complex class I expression, which we further validated with "

Drug repurposing is an innovative method for employing medications for other disease therapy in addition to their original use. Simvastatin, a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme-A reductase inhibitor, is a lipid-lowering drug that is being studied for the treatment of cancer in various in vitro and in vivo models. Nanotechnology offers a potential platform for incorporation of drugs with enhanced pharmaceutical (solubility, release characteristics, stability, etc.) and biological characteristics (targeting, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic). Utilizing a variety of resources such as Scopus, Springer, Web of Science, Elsevier, Bentham Science, Taylor & Francis, and PubMed, a thorough literature search was carried out by looking through electronic records published between 2003 and 2024. The keywords used were simvastatin, drug repurposing, anti-cancer simvastatin, pharmaceutical properties of simvastatin, simvastatin nanoformulations, simvastatin patents, clinical trials, etc. Numerous articles were looked for, filtered, checked out, and incorporated. Pure simvastatin has been researched as a repurposed medication for the treatment of cancer in several in vitro and in vivo models, such as carcinoma of the lung, colon, liver, prostate, breast, and skin. Simvastatin also incorporated into different nanocarriers (nanosuspensions, microparticles/nanoparticles, liposomes, and nanostructured lipid carriers) and showed improvement in solubility, bioavailability, drug loading, release kinetics, and targeting. Clinical trial and patent reports suggest potential of simvastatin in cancer therapy. The preclinical studies of pure simvastatin in in vitro and in vivo models showed the potential for its ability to inhibit cancer cell growth and further incorporation into nanoformulations strengthened its preclinical and pharmaceutical characteristics."

Cell-cell communication (CCC) is often mediated via ligand-receptor interactions (LRIs). Existing CCC inference methods are limited to known LRIs. To address this problem, we developed a comprehensive CCC analysis tool SEnSCA by integrating single cell RNA sequencing and proteome data. SEnSCA mainly contains potential LRI acquisition and CCC strength evaluation. For acquiring potential LRIs, it first extracts LRI features and reduces the feature dimension, subsequently constructs negative LRI samples through K-means clustering, finally acquires potential LRIs based on Stacking ensemble comprising support vector machine, 1D-convolutional neural networks and multi-head attention mechanism. During CCC strength evaluation, SEnSCA conducts LRI filtering and then infers CCC by combining the three-point estimation approach and single cell RNA sequencing data. SEnSCA computed better precision, recall, accuracy, F1 score, AUC and AUPR under most of conditions when predicting possible LRIs. To better illustrate the inferred CCC network, SEnSCA provided three visualization options: heatmap, bubble diagram and network diagram. Its application on human melanoma tissue demonstrated its reliability in CCC detection. In summary, SEnSCA offers a useful CCC inference tool and is freely available at https://github.com/plhhnu/SEnSCA."

Histopathologically, DF is characterized by the storiform proliferation of monomorphic fibroblast-like spindle cells. In addition to neoplastic cells, secondary elements such as foamy histiocytes, Touton-type giant cells, lymphoplasmacytes, and epidermal hyperplasia are characteristic histological features. Several histological variants, including atypical, cellular, aneurysmal, and lipidized variants, have been reported; cases with variant histologies are sometimes misdiagnosed as sarcomas. We present a case of metastasizing aneurysmal DF that was initially diagnosed as an angiosarcoma on biopsy. A 26-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with a gradually enlarging subcutaneous mass in her lower left leg. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography revealed high fluorodeoxyglucose uptake not only in the tumor but also in the left inguinal region. On biopsy, ERG and CD31-positive atypical spindle cells proliferated in slit-like spaces with extravasation, leading to the diagnosis of angiosarcoma. Histology of the wide-resection specimen was consistent with DF, and lymph node metastasis was also observed. Nanopore DNA sequencing detected CD63::PRKCD fusion and copy number gain, although CD63 was not included in the target region of adaptive sampling. This report highlights the importance of recognizing the unusual clinical, radiological, and pathological features of DF to avoid misdiagnosis, and the potential diagnostic utility of nanopore sequencer."

In skin, UVR can initiate cancer through the induction of mutagenic DNA damage and promote its progression. An important cancer prevention mechanism is the regulated cell death (RCD), which can safely dispose of damaged cells. Apoptosis, a well-known RCD, is known to be activated by UVR, but part of the mechanism and proteins involved in UVR-induced apoptosis are still to be discovered. Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) and mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) are two proteins involved in necroptosis, a form of RCD. Here, we have evaluated the implication of RIPK3 and MLKL in UVB-induced cell death in human diploid dermal fibroblasts. Our results show that RIPK3 and MLKL play opposite roles in UVB-induced cell death, in a necroptosis independent pathway. We showed that RIPK3 protects cells from UVB cell death, while MLKL sensitizes cells to UVB-induced apoptosis. Taken together these results are the first to show the implication of RIPK3 and MLKL in survival and apoptosis, respectively, bringing two new actors in UVB-induced cell death pathway."

Nevertheless, they can cover a significant proportion of the body, with some individuals developing hundreds to thousands of lesions. cNFs can cause pain, itching, and disfigurement resulting in substantial socio-emotional repercussions. Currently, surgery and laser desiccation are the sole treatment options but may result in scarring and potential regrowth from incomplete removal. To identify effective systemic therapies, we introduce an approach to establish and screen cNF organoids. We optimized conditions to support the ex vivo growth of genomically diverse cNFs. Patient-derived cNF organoids closely recapitulate cellular and molecular features of parental tumors as measured by immunohistopathology, methylation, RNA sequencing, and flow cytometry. Our cNF organoid platform enables rapid screening of hundreds of compounds in a patient- and tumor-specific manner."

This study aims to examine the antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, and anticancer properties of Morus nigra. The antimicrobial activities of ripe and unripe M. nigra fruit (MNF) extracts were tested. HPLC was employed to measure the components in the extract. Oserin ointment was made with 8 % extract. To test the ointment, 48 Wistar rats were randomly assigned into eight groups. The ointment was used daily by treating the wounds. Tissue histology and wound healing were assessed over nine days. Comparative evaluation of wound healing was conducted by analyzing TGF-β, TNF-α, and IL-1 mRNA levels. Finally, cytotoxic effects on AGS cancer and NIH-3 T3 fibroblast cells were examined. The ANOVA test and Prsim program were used for statistical analysis. Unripe MNF extract had good antimicrobial properties in standard and nosocomial strains. The most abundant compound in the extract was ascorbic acid (0.0441 mg/10 mg extract), followed by naringenin and gallic acid. In all groups treated with MNF extract ointment, a significant reduction in wound area was observed compared to other groups (p < 0.05). After six days of treatment, the microbial load was uncountable. In the microscopic studies of the wounds, a significant increase was observed in fibroblasts, angiogenesis, and in neutrophils in the first days as well as a decrease in the final days. The treatment caused a significant decline in the expression of IL-1 and TNF-α genes, as well as an increase in the expression of TGF-β (p < 0.05). This extract had no significant cytotoxic effects on human fibroblast cells (p > 0.05). In general, it can be concluded that the unripe MNF extract ointment can be a suitable option for the treatment of infectious and non-infectious skin wounds."

Malignant wounds present diagnostic challenges, with a reported prevalence rate ranging from 0.4% to 23%. This significant variability in reported prevalence appears to be due to the different settings in which data are collected, which suggests potential influence by medical specialty. Consequently, the misdiagnosis of neoplastic ulcers (eg, ulcerated melanoma) as vascular wounds is relatively common, leading to delayed diagnosis, inadequate treatment, and a dramatic worsening of the patient's prognosis. Identifying malignancy in nonresponsive wounds involves recognizing signs such as hypertrophic granulation tissue, bleeding, unusual pigmentation, and raised edges. The appearance of the perilesional skin, together with dermoscopic observation, is also crucial to differentiation. Ultimately, a biopsy may provide valuable diagnostic clarification."

Turing showed, using mathematical modeling, how spatial patterns could arise from the reactions of a diffusive activator-inhibitor pair in an initially homogeneous 2D field. Most activators and inhibitors studied in biological systems are proteins, and the roles of cell-cell interaction, ions, bioelectricity, etc. are only now being identified. Gap junctions (GJs) mediate direct exchanges of ions or small molecules between cells, enabling rapid long-distance communications in a cell collective. They are therefore good candidates for propagating nonprotein-based patterning signals that may act according to the Turing principles. Here, we explore the possible roles of GJs in Turing-type patterning using feather pattern formation as a model. We found 7 of the 12 investigated GJ isoforms are highly dynamically expressed in the developing chicken skin. In ovo functional perturbations of the GJ isoform, connexin 30, by siRNA and the dominant-negative mutant applied before placode development led to disrupted primary feather bud formation. Interestingly, inhibition of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) in the ex vivo skin explant culture allowed the sequential emergence of new feather buds at specific spatial locations relative to the existing primary buds. The results suggest that GJIC may facilitate the propagation of long-distance inhibitory signals. Thus, inhibition of GJs may stimulate Turing-type periodic feather pattern formation during chick skin development, and the removal of GJ activity would enable the emergence of new feather buds if the local environment were competent and the threshold to form buds was reached. We further propose Turing-based computational simulations that can predict the sequential appearance of these ectopic buds. Our models demonstrate how a Turing activator-inhibitor system can continue to generate patterns in the competent morphogenetic field when the level of intercellular communication at the tissue scale is modulated."

Among UV rays, UVB stands out for its ability to trigger problems within cells, including mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and DNA damage. Free radicals are implicated in these cellular responses, but they are challenging to measure due to their short lifetime and limited diffusion range. In our study, we used a quantum sensing technique (T1 relaxometry) involving fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) that change their optical properties in response to magnetic noise. This allowed us to monitor the free radical presence in real time. To measure radicals near mitochondria, we coated FNDs with antibodies, targeting mitochondrial protein voltage-dependent anion channel 2 (anti-VDAC2). Our findings revealed a dynamic rise in radical levels on the mitochondrial membrane as cells were exposed to UVB (3 J/cm"

The long-term benefits of kinases, however, are limited by development of drug resistance. An alternative approach for treatment would be to focus on transcription factors. Cyclic AMP-regulatory element-binding protein (CREB) is a transcription factor that is commonly overactivated or overexpressed in many different cancers including skin cancer. Ultraviolet radiation (UVR), one of the main causes of skin cancer, can activate CREB in both melanocytes and keratinocytes. In addition, CREB has been found to be activated in skin cancers. Considering the prominent role that CREB plays in skin cancers, the studies reviewed herein raise the possibility of CREB as a potential prognostic and diagnostic marker of skin cancer and a novel target for therapeutic intervention."

This study aimed to elucidate the risk factors affecting hospitalization and mortality rates in Asian patients with AIBDs. A retrospective analysis of patients with AIBDs treated at Siriraj Hospital during a 17-year period was performed using the International Classification of Diseases 10th revision codes. The characteristics of inpatients and outpatients were compared, and mortality rates and associated factors were identified. The study included 360 AIBD patients (180 inpatients, 180 outpatients). Inpatients were significantly younger than outpatients. The identified risk factors for hospitalization were malignancy (odds ratio [OR] 2.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.13-8.04; p = 0.034), moderate to severe disease (OR 2.52, 95% CI 1.49-4.34; p < 0.001), systemic corticosteroid use ≥15 mg/day (OR 2.27, 95% CI 1.21-4.41; p = 0.013) and oral cyclophosphamide treatment (OR 9.88, 95% CI 3.82-33.7; p < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed mortality rates of 26%, 36% and 39% for inpatients with pemphigus at 1, 3 and 5 years, respectively. For inpatients with pemphigoid, the corresponding rates were 28%, 38% and 47%. Infections, particularly pneumonia, were the predominant cause of death in both conditions. This study confirmed that both Asian ethnicity and healthcare disparities may be correlated with adverse outcomes in patients with AIBDs. Pemphigus mortality rates were substantially greater in Asian patients than in Caucasian patients. Continuous monitoring of factors contributing to hospitalization and mortality is imperative to improve treatment outcomes."

Due to its biocompatibility and capacity to increase drug solubility and permeability, especially when paired with chemical enhancers, such as oleic acid (OA), which is used in this work, choline glycinate ([Cho][Gly]) has emerged as a potential substance for transdermal drug delivery. In this work, we examined the possibility of transdermal delivery of 5-FU for the treatment of breast cancer using an ionic hydrogel formulation consisting of [Cho][Gly] with OA.

It is typified by the development of multiple plaques or subcutaneous erythematous nodules, predominantly on the extremities and trunk. Epidemiological findings reveal a greater incidence in females than males, affecting a wide demographic, including pediatric and adult cohorts, with a median onset age of around 30 years. Diagnosis of SPTLP is complex, hinging on skin biopsy analyses and the identification of T-cell lineage-specific immunohistochemical markers. Treatment modalities for SPTLP are varied; while corticosteroids may be beneficial initially for many patients, a substantial number require chemotherapy, especially in cases of poor response or relapse. Generally, SPTLP progresses slowly, yet approximately 20% of cases advance to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), often correlating with a negative prognosis. We report a case of a young male patient presenting with prolonged fever, multiple skin lesions accompanied by HLH, a poor clinical course, and eventual death, diagnosed postmortem with SPTLP.

It is characterized by slow growth over a prolonged period, and its morphology can be easily confused with a benign tumor, such as an epidermal cyst. Consequently, many patients experience recurrence after undergoing multiple resections. However, there are few reports concerning the surgical management of PCMC. We present two cases of PCMC originating in the periorbital area. The first case involved a 76-year-old man with a mass measuring 3.0× 1.5 cm that had been increasing in size. The second case was a 61-year-old man with two masses, each measuring 1.0× 1.0 cm, that were also growing. Both patients underwent wide excision with a 5-mm safety margin, which was determined based on the widest view of the cross-section of the mass on the magnetic resonance imaging. Subsequently, based on the intraoperative frozen biopsy results, both patients underwent additional excision with a 5-mm safety margin in only one direction. This report shows that, when determining the surgical margin of PCMC in periorbital area, employing imaging modalities and intraoperative frozen biopsies can be helpful for narrowing the surgical margin."

+5207,skin cancer,38742251,Glycans in melanoma: Drivers of tumour progression but sweet targets to exploit for immunotherapy.,"Aberrant glycosylation recently emerged as an unmissable hallmark of cancer progression in many cancers. In melanoma, there is growing evidence that the tumour 'glycocode' plays a major role in promoting cell proliferation, invasion, migration, but also dictates the nature of the immune infiltrate, which strongly affects immune cell function, and clinical outcome. Aberrant glycosylation patterns dismantle anti-tumour defence through interactions with lectins on immune cells, which are crucial to shape anti-tumour immunity but also to trigger immune evasion. The glycan/lectin axis represents a new immune subversion pathway that is exploited by melanoma to hijack immune cells and escape from immune control. In this review, we describe the glycosylation features of melanoma tumour cells, and further gather findings related to the role of glycosylation in melanoma tumour progression, deciphering in detail its impact on immunity. We also depict glycan-based strategies aiming at restoring a functional anti-tumour response in melanoma patients. Glycans/lectins emerge as key immune checkpoints with promising translational properties. Exploitation of these pathways could reshape potent anti-tumour immunity while impeding immunosuppressive circuits triggered by aberrant tumour glycosylation patterns, holding great promise for cancer therapy."

In India, the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is ranked the 4th most common (6.4%) in males and the 5th most common (3.4%) in females. The improvement in the cure rate of rectal cancer has increased life expectancy, and assessment of the quality of life (QoL) in these patients has become a fundamental requirement. Little is known about how the patients perceive these adverse effects during curatively intended radiotherapy. Although studies have investigated the various adverse effects that can occur with radiotherapy and chemotherapy in carcinoma rectum patients, these have not yet been critically appraised and synopsized to form a comprehensive review of their prevalence and effects on QoL. The study was designed to explore the QoL issues in locally advanced carcinoma rectum patients during various phases of neoadjuvant concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (NACCRT). The study was performed over a period of 2 years at a single super speciality cancer hospital in North India. Patients were selected as per the inclusion criteria and followed up with a standard questionnaire incorporating various aspects depicting QoL. The interview technique was used for collecting QoL data at four points, at baseline, midway during treatment, at the end of treatment and 4 weeks after completion of NACCRT, using EORTC QLQ C30, for QLQ CR29. Special care was taken to avoid observer bias in cases of language issues, and interpreters' services were utilised, and compared with the baseline pre-treatment scores, patients reported a statistically significant and large clinically meaningful change in the global health status, social functioning, fatigue (FACIT-F), appetite loss, anxiety, sore skin and male and female sexual function at the post-treatment time point. Statistically significant changes with moderate clinically meaningful changes were reported for the functional scales-physical, role and emotional functioning of the QLQ C30 questionnaire and body image and weight of the CR29 questionnaire. Similar moderate clinical changes were found in the symptom scales-fatigue, nausea and vomiting, insomnia, constipation and diarrhoea of QLQ C30 and stool frequency, embarrassment with bowel function, impotence and dyspareunia. These parameters returned to almost the pre-treatment values after 4 weeks of completion of NACRT. Since QoL is a relatively subjective variable, differences in human race, culture, education and social environment will have impacts on the results. International cooperation is needed to study the QoL in patients with multiple cultural backgrounds. The existing QoL questionnaire tools have been designed with Western countries in mind, and we did face multiple social issues. We suggest that many similar multicentre studies shall be required to essentially tap the accurate QoL-related issues keeping in mind the diverse social, economic, racial and educational backgrounds. As we deal with the ever-increasing cancer menace and better life expectancy, QoL issues shall be a major determinant of treatment success besides primary treatment. These factors should form an integral part of treatment modality, and adequate counselling must be performed prior to initiation of care."

Patients who underwent (BCS) with local perforator artery flap reconstruction were reviewed in terms of their clinical, surgical, and post-operative follow-up details after taking written and informed consent. We have described 4 patients of early breast cancer out of which one patient was post-NACT while 3 were for upfront BCS. We have performed LICAP in 2 patients, AICAP in 1 patient, and IMAP in one patient, depending on the location of primary tumors. None of the patients had any major or minor surgical complications in the post-operative period and drains were removed on post-operative day 2. All patients received post-operative radiotherapy and tolerated well without any loco-regional complications. Patients are in routine follow-up with cosmetic satisfaction without any local recurrence over 1 year. The main advantages of pedicled perforator flaps are well-vascularized tissue, spares underlying muscle leading to lesser donor site morbidity like muscle function and seroma formation, easily reach the breast area with good match in terms of skin and subcutaneous tissue, faster recovery, and shorter learning curve in comparison to free flaps. Knowledge and skill about these flaps will help surgeon to give better surgical outcomes and satisfaction to patients."

Changes in the skin not only reflect conditions in the brain but also exert direct and indirect effects on the brain. Interestingly, the connection between the skin and brain is crucial for understanding aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Several studies have shown an association between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and various skin disorders, such as psoriasis, bullous pemphigoid, and skin cancer. Previous studies have shown a significantly increased risk of new-onset AD in patients with psoriasis. In contrast, skin cancer may reduce the risk of developing AD.

Additionally, most cell-based therapies rely on the administration of single cells, often associated with rapid in vivo clearance. 3D cellular materials may be useful to prolong the effect of cellular therapies and offer the possibility of creating structural volumetric constructs. Here, the manufacturing of shape-versatile fixed cell-based materials with immunomodulatory properties is reported. Living cell aggregates with different shapes (spheres and centimeter-long fibers) are fixed using a method compatible with maintenance of structural integrity, robustness, and flexibility of 3D constructs. The biological properties of living cells can be modulated before fixation, rendering an in vitro anti-inflammatory effect toward human macrophages, in line with a decreased activation of the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway that preponderantly correlated with the surface area of the materials. These findings are further corroborated in vivo in mouse skin wounds. Contact with fixed materials also reduces the proliferation of activated primary T lymphocytes, while promoting regulatory populations. The fixation of cellular constructs is proposed as a versatile phenotypic stabilization method that can be easily implemented to prepare immunomodulatory materials with therapeutic potential."

The filly was otherwise healthy. Following ophthalmic examination, glaucoma on the OD was diagnosed. A space occupying mass within the anterior chamber was documented on transpalpebral ultrasonographic examination. This mass obliterated most of the anterior intraocular structures on the peripheral nasal side (corneal endothelium and drainage angle), leading to secondary glaucoma. After systemic and topical treatment addressing secondary glaucoma, the corneal oedema reduced. The mass was visualised as an irregularly rounded brown structure associated with the iris on the peripheral nasal side of the anterior chamber. Given the filly's signalment, location and appearance of the mass, a tentative diagnosis of intraocular melanoma was made and enucleation was performed. Histopathological evaluation of the globe revealed solid sheets of heavily pigmented melanocytic cells, disrupting the normal ciliary body architecture and extending into the iris and subretinal. The cells were pleomorphic, polyhedral to round with occasional spindle-shaped cells, and contained moderate to large amounts of granular black-brown pigment (melanin). The iridal component expanded into the anterior chamber, with cells directly opposed to Descemet's membrane, with loss of the endothelium and expanding and occluding the filtration angle in this area. The lesion infiltrated locally into the edge of the sclera, but did not extend through the sclera, though occasional perivascular clusters of melanophages were observed within the scleral stroma adjacent to the optic nerve. Diagnosis of a uveal melanocytic neoplasm was confirmed, with characteristics similar to only one reported case . This is a unique case of a rapidly growing, invasive, uveal melanoma in a young horse. Intraocular melanoma should be considered as a differential diagnoses for glaucoma in grey horses, regardless of the age and absence of melanocytic skin lesions."

While many treatments exist, our understanding of its genomic progression, especially from the epidermis to the deep dermis, remains limited. This study aims to identify genetic mutations associated with the progression of cSCC into the deep dermis, providing insights into its aggressive behavior and high-risk features. We performed high-depth whole-exome sequencing on 12 cSCC tissues, along with paired normal tissues from six patients, using microdissection techniques. The mutational analysis focused on identifying alterations enriched during cSCC progression. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis, immunohistochemical assays, and external single-cell RNA data were utilized for validation. A total of 8863 non-synonymous somatic mutations were identified in 4092 genes across the superficial and deep portions of cSCCs. Analysis of deep portion mutations revealed a significant correlation with gene ontology biological processes, particularly cell junction organization, and cell-cell adhesion. Clonal mutations in these processes were more prevalent in the deep portions, indicating their impact on the cSCC mutation landscape. Genetic evolution analysis identified 29 causal genes associated with dermal invasion in cSCC. We highlight somatic mutations in cSCC, revealing heterogeneity between superficial and deep regions. Altered genes in cell junction organization and cell-cell adhesion emerged as pivotal in dermal invasion. We identified 29 causal genes primarily in deep tumor regions. Our findings emphasize analyzing multiple tumor regions to capture varied mutational landscapes. These insights advance our understanding of cSCC progression, emphasizing genetic and cellular changes during tumor evolution."

Thus, in this study the immune microenvironment and genomic indicators in hidradenocarcinoma was investigated, and immunotherapy for hidradenocarcinoma was initially explored. Forty-seven hidradenocarcinoma patients were retrospectively collected. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to identify CD3/CD8+ T cells and programmed death ligand-1 expression. In total, 89.4% and 10.6% of samples had Immunoscores of 0-25% and 25-70%. Tumour proportion score distribution was as follows: tumour proportion score < 1% in 72.4%, 1-5% in 17.0%, and > 5% in 10.6%. Combined positive score distribution was as follows: combined positive score < 1 in 63.8%, 1-5 in 14.9%, and > 5 in 21.3%. Next-generation sequencing revealed that TP53 (33%), PI3KCA (22%), and ERBB3 (22%) were the most frequently mutated genes. The PI3K-Akt signalling pathway, growth, and MAPK signalling pathways were significantly enriched. Five patients had a low TMB (< 10 muts/Mb), and 9 patients had MSS. Three patients treated with immune combined with chemotherapy achieved significant tumour regression, and the progression-free survival was 28.8 months. In conclusion, the hidradenocarcinoma immune microenvironment tends to be noninflammatory. Evidence-based targets for targeted therapy are lacking. Immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy may be better for most advanced hidradenocarcinoma patients with a noninflammatory microenvironment."

It is aggressive and locally invasive, and can require local postoperative radiotherapy. This report presents the case of a 16-year-old girl with a sinonasal-cutaneous fistula following excision and radiotherapy for rhabdomyosarcoma, which required reconstructive surgery using an expanded forehead flap. CASE REPORT We report the case of a16-year-old girl who was referred to our clinic with sinonasal-cutaneous fistula. Prior to presentation at our department, she presented with bilateral intermittent nasal congestion 3 years ago. At a local hospital, orbital computed tomography and nasal endoscopic biopsy revealed an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS). One month later, skull base tumor resection, nasal cavity and sinus tumor resection, and low-temperature plasma ablation were performed at a local hospital. Two weeks after the operation, the patient received intensity-modulated radiation therapy for a total of 50 Gy. Chemotherapy started 15 days after radiotherapy, using a vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide (VAC) regimen. Approximately 1 month later, an ulcer appeared at the nasal root and the lesion gradually expanded. The patient was referred to our hospital due to the defect. Firstly, a tissue expander was implanted at the forehead for 7 months. Then, the skin around the defect was trimmed and forehead flap was separated to repair the lining and external skin. The flap survived well 1-year after the operation.

Although skin cancer rarely affects individuals with phototypes IV-VI, its occurrence in these groups is often associated with greater morbidity and mortality. This study aims to characterize the clinical symptoms, presentations, and treatments of nSCC in patients with darker skin types. A systematic review of PubMed and Embase was performed in May 2023 for all peer-reviewed, English-language nSCC studies involving individuals with Fitzpatrick types IV-VI. Most tumors were located on the fingernails (84%), with the right third finger being the most frequently affected (31%). The nail bed (67%) exhibited a higher prevalence than the lateral/proximal nail folds (33%). The duration of symptoms before diagnosis ranged from 1 month to 7 years. nSCC was most commonly treated with Mohs surgery (38%), followed by amputation (35%). Our study was limited to case reports because of a lack of large nSCC studies that provide information on race or images of each patient.

However, recent studies have suggested that both apocrine mixed tumors (AMT) and cutaneous myoepitheliomas (CM) harbor identical chromosomal rearrangements involving the PLAG1 gene and hence may represent a morphological spectrum. The aim of the present study was to share our institutional experience with these tumors and specifically focus on studying their immunohistochemical and molecular features to further assess their relatedness. Eleven cases of AMT and 7 cases of CM were collected and analyzed using immunohistochemistry (IHC), PLAG1 FISH, and Archer FusionPlex assay. There were 14 male and 4 female patients with ages ranging from 26 to 85 years (median 55.8 years, mean 58.5 years). AMTs were mainly located in the head and neck (n = 10), while CMs were mainly located in the acral sites (n = 5). PLAG1 IHC was diffusely strongly positive in 14/17 (82%) cases, whereas a single case of AMT diffusely expressed HMGA2. Both tumor groups showed PLAG1 gene fusions which were detected in 6/13 analyzable samples (AMT, n = 4 and CM, n = 2), and included TRPS1::PLAG1 (n = 3), NDRG1::PLAG1 (n = 1), CTNNB1::PLAG1 (n = 1) and a novel PXDNL::PLAG1 fusion (n = 1). The remaining 5 cases were negative, 5 were not analyzable and the single case positive for HMGA2 by IHC revealed a potential HMGA2 gene rearrangement. The cases were further studied by FISH, with 12/17 cases showing PLAG1 gene rearrangement (AMT, n = 8 and CM, n = 4). Altogether, 14/18 cases showed PLAG1 gene rearrangement by at least one of the methods. PLAG1 immunohistochemistry had a 92% specificity and sensitivity. Our study provided additional data to suggest that AMT and CM share overlapping morphological and immunohistochemical features as well as molecular background characterized by PLAG1 gene fusions and thus represent a morphological spectrum. In addition, we identified a novel PXDNL::PLAG1 fusion and suggested that rare cases may harbor HMGA2 gene alterations which seem to be mutually exclusive with PLAG1 gene fusions. The relatedness of these tumors to salivary gland myoepithelial neoplasms and distinctness from eccrine mixed tumors and other skin and soft tissue myoepithelial neoplasms with EWSR1/FUS fusions is discussed."

+5265,skin cancer,38734790,UK guidelines for the management of soft tissue sarcomas.,"Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare tumours arising in mesenchymal tissues and can occur almost anywhere in the body. Their rarity, and the heterogeneity of subtype and location, means that developing evidence-based guidelines is complicated by the limitations of the data available. This makes it more important that STS are managed by expert multidisciplinary teams, to ensure consistent and optimal treatment, recruitment to clinical trials, and the ongoing accumulation of further data and knowledge. The development of appropriate guidance, by an experienced panel referring to the evidence available, is therefore a useful foundation on which to build progress in the field. These guidelines are an update of the previous versions published in 2010 and 2016 [1, 2]. The original guidelines were drawn up by a panel of UK sarcoma specialists convened under the auspices of the British Sarcoma Group (BSG) and were intended to provide a framework for the multidisciplinary care of patients with soft tissue sarcomas. This iteration of the guidance, as well as updating the general multidisciplinary management of soft tissue sarcoma, includes specific sections relating to the management of sarcomas at defined anatomical sites: gynaecological sarcomas, retroperitoneal sarcomas, breast sarcomas, and skin sarcomas. These are generally managed collaboratively by site specific multidisciplinary teams linked to the regional sarcoma specialist team, as stipulated in the recently published sarcoma service specification [3]. In the UK, any patient with a suspected soft tissue sarcoma should be referred to a specialist regional soft tissues sarcoma service, to be managed by a specialist sarcoma multidisciplinary team. Once the diagnosis has been confirmed using appropriate imaging and a tissue biopsy, the main modality of management is usually surgical excision performed by a specialist surgeon, combined with pre- or post-operative radiotherapy for tumours at higher risk for local recurrence. Systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT) may be utilised in cases where the histological subtype is considered more sensitive to systemic treatment. Regular follow-up is recommended to assess local control, development of metastatic disease, and any late effects of treatment."

In this study, we investigated the potential of the peptide inhibitor HVEM(14-39) to restore peripheral T cell activity in patients with advanced melanoma. In these patients, CD8+ T cells downregulated BTLA expression and increased HVEM expression upon activation. The addition of HVEM(14-39) reduced the percentage of BTLA+ CD8+ T cells and increased the subpopulation of HVEM+ CD8+ T cells. Additionally, HVEM(14-39) enhanced T cell activation, proliferation, and the shift toward effector memory T cell subpopulations. Finally, this peptide affected the proliferation rate and late apoptosis of melanoma cell line in co-culture with T cells. These findings suggest that HVEM(14-39) can overcome T cell exhaustion and improve antitumor responses. Peptide-based immunotherapy targeting the BTLA-HVEM complex offers a promising alternative to monoclonal antibody-based therapies, with the potential for fewer side effects and higher treatment efficacy."

However, there has been no notable improvement in the field of cancer, particularly for skin cancer. Here, a wearable bioelectronic patch is established for transdermal sensing of the melanoma biomarker, tyrosinase (Tyr), using a microneedle array integrated with a surface-bound chemo-responsive smart probe to enable target-specific electrochemical detection of Tyr directly from human skin tissue. The results presented herein demonstrate the feasibility of a transdermal microneedle sensor for direct quantification of enzyme biomarkers in an ex vivo skin model. Initial performance analysis of the transdermal microneedle sensor proves that the designed methodology can be an alternative for fast and reliable diagnosis of melanoma and the evaluation of skin moles. The innovative approach presented here may revolutionize the landscape of skin monitoring by offering a nondisruptive means for continuous surveillance and timely intervention of skin anomalies, such as inflammatory skin diseases or allergies and can be extended to the screening of multiple responses of complementary biomarkers with simple modification in device design."

However, the mechanisms governing the formation and progression of melanocytic nevi remain poorly understood. This lack of understanding is partly due to the difficulty in isolating and culturing nevus tissues in vitro, resulting in a dearth of robust ex vivo models for nevi. Therefore, the establishment of a reliable melanocytic nevus model is imperative. Such a model is essential for elucidating nevus pathogenesis and facilitating the development of effective therapeutic interventions. Therefore, we have sought to establish an ex vivo nevus explant model to study UVR stimulation. And the structural integrity and tissue activity of the ex vivo nevi explant model was evaluated. We then observed melanogenesis and proliferation activity of the explants after UVR stimulation. There was less blister formation after Day 3 in nevi explants under our modified medium conditions. The nevi explant was able to maintain almost the same morphological structure and tissue activity as in vivo tissue within 24 h. Following UVR stimulation, we observed increased melanogenesis and proliferation activity in nevi explants. Nevi explants could serve as an ex vivo model for UVR-induced nevi stimulation research."

We utilized data from a random population sample of 9,360 individuals (men and women, aged 45-69) from the HAPIEE Study who had been followed up for 16 years. A nested case-control design yielded 35 incident CRC cases and 354 matched controls. Six baseline epigenetic age (EA) measures (Horvath, Hannum, PhenoAge, Skin and Blood (SB), BLUP, and Elastic Net (EN)) were calculated along with their respective EAAs. After adjustment, the odds ratios (ORs) for CRC risk per decile increase in EAA ranged from 1.20 (95% CI: 1.04-1.39) to 1.44 (95% CI: 1.21-1.76) for the Horvath, Hannum, PhenoAge, and BLUP measures. Conversely, the SB and EN EAA measures showed borderline inverse associations with ORs of 0.86-0.87 (95% CI: 0.76-0.99). Tertile analysis reinforced a positive association between CRC risk and four EAA measures (Horvath, Hannum, PhenoAge, and BLUP) and a modest inverse relationship with EN EAA. Our findings from a prospective population-based-case-control study indicate a direct association between incident CRC and four markers of accelerated baseline epigenetic age. In contrast, two markers showed a negative association or no association. These results warrant further exploration in larger cohorts and may have implications for CRC risk assessment and prevention."

While progress has been made in managing melanoma with targeted and immune therapies, many patients do not benefit from these current treatment modalities. Tumor cell migration is the initial step for invasion and metastasis. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying metastasis is crucial for developing therapeutic strategies for metastatic diseases, including melanoma. The cell adhesion molecule L1CAM (CD171, in short L1) is upregulated in many human cancers, enhancing tumor cell migration. Earlier studies showed that the small-molecule antagonistic mimetics of L1 suppress glioblastoma cell migration in vitro. This study aims to evaluate if L1 mimetic antagonists can inhibit melanoma cell migration in vitro and in vivo. We showed that two antagonistic mimetics of L1, anagrelide and 2-hydroxy-5-fluoropyrimidine (2H5F), reduced melanoma cell migration in vitro. In in vivo allograft studies, only 2H5F-treated female mice showed a decrease in tumor volume."

In a synthetic literature review, various databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Database of Polish Scientific Journals were queried to select relevant articles concerning azulene. The conclusions drawn from the thematic analysis of the studies emphasize the multifaceted pharmacological actions of azulene and its derivatives including their anti-inflammatory properties, potential anticancer effects, photoprotective abilities, alleviation of itching, management of atopic dermatitis, and treatment of erectile dysfunction. However, there are certain limitations associated with the application of unmodified azulene on the skin, particularly related to photodecomposition and the generation of reactive oxygen species under UV radiation. These effects, in turn, necessitate further research on the safety of azulene and azulene-derived substances, especially regarding their long-term use and potential application in phototherapy. The authors of this work emphasize the necessity of conducting further preclinical and clinical studies to fully understand the mechanisms of action. Incorporating azulene and its derivatives into the therapy of dermatological disorders may represent an innovative approach, thereby opening new treatment avenues for patients."

CCA is a rare, benign epidermal growth, often not associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, whereas SCC, a more aggressive form of skin cancer, has been linked to both ultraviolet (UV) exposure and HPV. Understanding the co-occurrence of these conditions in a single patient can enhance diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic outcomes. We report a 64-year-old male who underwent an operation for a verruciform lesion in the right groin, which was diagnosed as HPV-positive CCA alongside keratinised SCC. A literature search across January 2024 revealed limited evidence directly linking HPV to CCA, suggesting a need for further investigation. The speculative association between HPV and CCA warrants deeper exploration, especially considering the potential for HPV to contribute to lesion development through indirect mechanisms. The coexistence of CCA and SCC in an elderly patient presents a unique clinical scenario. This emphasises the need for vigilant diagnosis and tailored treatment strategies, highlighting the gap in understanding the pathogenesis of CCA, particularly its potential association with HPV.

The underlying mechanism and the role of neutrophils in targeted therapy is still not fully understood. Serum samples of patients with advanced melanoma were collected and neutrophil-associated serum markers were measured and correlated with response to targeted therapy. Blood neutrophils from healthy donors and patients with advanced melanoma were isolated, and their phenotypes, as well as their in vitro functions, were compared. In vitro functional tests were conducted through nonadherent cocultures with melanoma cells. Protection of melanoma cell lines by neutrophils was assessed under MAPK inhibition. Blood neutrophils from advanced melanoma patients exhibited lower CD16 expression compared to healthy donors. In vitro, both healthy-donor- and patient-derived neutrophils prevented melanoma cell apoptosis upon dual MAPK inhibition. The effect depended on cell-cell contact and melanoma cell susceptibility to treatment. Interference with protease activity of neutrophils prevented melanoma cell protection during treatment in cocultures. The negative correlation between neutrophils and melanoma outcomes seems to be linked to a protumoral function of neutrophils. In vitro, neutrophils exert a direct protective effect on melanoma cells during dual MAPK inhibition. This study further hints at a crucial role of neutrophil-related protease activity in protection."

Among the available therapeutic options, surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment for both tumors. However, tumor features and patients' comorbidities may limit the use of these techniques, making the treatment challenging. As regards BCC, even if hedgehog inhibitors revolutionized the therapeutic scenario, there are still patients unresponsive or intolerant to these drugs. In this context, cemiplimab has been approved as second-line treatment. As regards SCC, cemiplimab was the first systemic therapy approved. The objective of this manuscript was to investigate the efficacy and safety of cemiplimab for the management of BCC and cSCC. Cemiplimab has a durable and significant effect for the management of BCC and CSCC, with a favorable safety profile. Different specialists including oncologists, radiologists, dermatologists, and surgeons are required to guarantee an integrated approach, leading to the best management of patients. Moreover, the collaboration among specialists will allow them to best manage the TEAEs, reducing the risk of treatment suspension or discontinuation.

This unique property results in superhydrophilicity, which makes the zwitterionic polymers highly effective in resisting protein adsorption, thus endowing the drug carriers with long blood circulation time, inhibiting thrombus formation on biomedical devices in contact with blood, and ensuring the good sensitivity of sensors in biomedical application. Moreover, zwitterionic polymers have tumor-targeting ability and pH-responsiveness, rendering them ideal candidates for antitumor drug delivery. Additionally, the high ionic conductivity of zwitterionic polymers makes them an important raw material for ionic skin. Zwitterionic polymers exhibit remarkable resistance to bacterial adsorption and growth, proving their suitability in a wide range of biomedical applications such as ophthalmic applications, and wound dressings. In this paper, we provide an in-depth analysis of the different structures and characteristics of zwitterionic polymers and highlight their unique qualities and suitability for biomedical applications. Furthermore, we discuss the limitations and challenges that must be overcome to realize the full potential of zwitterionic polymers and present an optimistic perspective for zwitterionic polymers in the biomedical fields. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Zwitterionic polymers have a series of excellent properties such as super hydrophilicity, anti-protein adsorption, antibacterial ability and good ionic conductivity. However, biomedical applications of multifunctional zwitterionic polymers are still a major field to be explored. This review focuses on the design and application of zwitterionic polymers-based nanosystems for targeted and responsive delivery of antitumor drugs and cancer diagnostic agents.

Hypoxia is a universal characteristic of the microenvironment of cancer and a driver of melanoma progression. In recent years, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have attracted widespread attention in oncology research. In this study, screening was performed and revealed seven hypoxia-related lncRNAs AC008687.3, AC009495.1, AC245128.3, AL512363.1, LINC00518, LINC02416 and MCCC1-AS1 as predictive biomarkers. A predictive risk model was constructed via univariate Cox regression analysis, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Patients were grouped according to the model risk score, and Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to compare survival between groups. Functional and pathway enrichment analyses were performed to compare gene set enrichment between groups. Moreover, a nomogram was constructed with the risk score as a variable. In both the training and validation sets, patients in the low-risk group had better overall survival than did those in the high-risk group (P<0.001). The 3-, 5- and 10-year area under the curve (AUC) values for the nomogram model were 0.821, 0.795 and 0.820, respectively. Analyses of immune checkpoints, immunotherapy response, drug sensitivity, and mutation landscape were also performed. The results suggested that the low-risk group had a better response to immunotherapeutic. In addition, the nomogram can effectively predict the prognosis and immunotherapy response of melanoma patients. The signature of seven hypoxia-related lncRNAs showed great potential value as an immunotherapy response biomarker, and these lncRNAs might be treatment targets for melanoma patients."
+5314,skin cancer,38726010,Vaccimel immunization is associated with enhanced response to treatment with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies in cutaneous melanoma patients - a case reports study.,"Cancer vaccines are gaining ground as immunotherapy options. We have previously demonstrated in cutaneous melanoma (CM) patients that adjuvant treatment with VACCIMEL, a mixture of four irradiated CM cell lines co-adjuvanted with BCG and GM-CSF, increases the cellular immune response to melanocyte differentiation antigens, cancer-testis antigens and neoantigens, with respect to basal levels. On the other hand, it is also known that treatment with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), acting on pre-existing tumor-reactive lymphocytes, induces clinical responses in CM patients, albeit in a fraction of treated patients. A combination of both treatments would appear therefore desirable. In this paper, we describe CM patients who, having progressed even years after vaccination, were treated with anti-PD-1 MAbs. In 5/5 of such progressor patients, complete responses were obtained which lasted between 3 and 65+ months. Three of the patients remain disease-free and two recurred.

The histopathological analyses confirmed the diagnosis of oral verruciform xanthomas for both lesions. Practical implications: Despite of uncommon in the oral cavity, the verruciform xanthoma, particularly when affecting regions with a higher risk of developing oral cancer, should be included in differential diagnosis of oral potentially malignant disorders. The histopathological analysis remains as ""gold standard technique"" for a more accurate diagnosis of oral verruciform xanthoma. "

Recognition of MF variants with divergent immunophenotypes is important for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management, as they can be confused with other lymphoma subtypes. We present a case of a 49-year-old male previously diagnosed with a cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorder with an unusual NK/T-cell phenotype. He presented with a 10-year history of pelvic girdle rash involving the right hip and upper thigh. The lesions were characterized as atrophic patches concentrated in sun-protected areas and involving 10% of the body surface area. Shave biopsies revealed an atypical epidermotropic infiltrate composed of hyperchromatic small to medium-sized lymphocytes with perinuclear halos and ""tagging"" along the dermal-epidermal junction. The immunophenotype was unusual in that the neoplastic lymphocytes showed complete loss of pan T-cell antigens along with expression of CD56, cytotoxic markers, and weak CD20. All other B-cell markers were negative. The combination of clinical findings, in addition to the histopathologic and immunophenotypic profile, were diagnostic of null T-cell phenotype MF with aberrant expression of CD56 and CD20. Null T-cell phenotype MF is very uncommon, can be diagnostically challenging, and can mislead the diagnosis of aggressive lymphoma subtypes."

+5319,skin cancer,38725219,BET inhibition sensitizes innate checkpoint inhibitor resistant melanoma to anti-CTLA-4 treatment.,"Approximately 50% of melanoma patients fail to respond to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), and acquired resistance hampers long-term survival in about half of initially responding patients. Whether targeting BET reader proteins, implicated in epigenetic dysregulation, can enhance ICB response rates and durability, remains to be determined. Here we show elevated BET proteins correlate with poor survival and ICB responses in melanoma patients. The BET inhibitor IBET151, combined with anti-CTLA-4, overcame innate ICB resistance however, sequential BET inhibition failed against acquired resistance in mouse models. Combination treatment response in the innate resistance model induced changes in tumor-infiltrating immune cells, reducing myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). CD4+ and CD8+ T cells showed decreased expression of inhibitory receptors, with reduced TIM3, LAG3, and BTLA checkpoint expression. In human PBMCs in vitro, BET inhibition reduced expression of immune checkpoints in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, restoring effector cytokines and downregulating the transcriptional driver TOX. BET proteins in melanoma may play an oncogenic role by inducing immune suppression and driving T cell dysfunction. The study demonstrates an effective combination for innately unresponsive melanoma patients to checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy, yet highlights BET inhibitors' limitations in an acquired resistance context."

First, human melanoma cell SK-MEL-28 was stimulated using GA for 24, 48, and 72 h. Then, the optimal treatment time and dosage were selected. After that, cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was employed for testing the cell viability, flow cytometry for the apoptosis, comet assay for the DNA damage of cells, and western blot for the cleaved-Caspase3, Caspase3, Bcl-2, and γH2AX protein expression levels. The experimental outcomes exhibited that as the GA concentration climbed up, the SK-MEL-28 cell viability dropped largely, while the apoptosis level raised significantly, especially at the concentration of 100 μm. In addition, compared with GA or CPtreatment only, CP combined with GA notably suppressed the viability of melanoma cells and promoted cell apoptosis at the cytological level. At the protein level, the combined treatment notably downregulated the Bcl-2 and Caspase3 expression levels, while significantly upregulated the cleaved-Caspase3 and γH2AX expression levels. Besides, CP + GA treatment promoted DNA damage at the DNA molecular level. Collectively, both GA and CP can inhibit DNA damage repair and enhance the apoptosis of SK-MEL-28 cells, and the synergistic treatment of both exhibits better efficacy."

In mice with implanted skin melanoma B16, the expression of Kim1 (kidney injury molecule 1) and NGAL (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin) proteins in the kidneys was evaluated immunohistochemically 15, 30, 90, 180 min, and 7 days after peroral administration of lithium carbonate at single doses of 300 and 400 mg/kg. An increase in the expression of the studied proteins was found in 30 and 90 min after administration of 400 mg/kg lithium carbonate, however, 7 days after the drug administration, the expression returned to the level observed in the control group. It can be suggested that single administration of lithium carbonate in the studied doses effective for lithium neutron capture therapy will not significantly affect the renal function."

Little is understood about the pathogenic mechanisms driving irColitis, which does not readily occur in model organisms, such as mice. To define molecular drivers of irColitis, we used single-cell multi-omics to profile approximately 300,000 cells from the colon mucosa and blood of 13 patients with cancer who developed irColitis (nine on anti-PD-1 or anti-CTLA-4 monotherapy and four on dual ICI therapy; most patients had skin or lung cancer), eight controls on ICI therapy and eight healthy controls.

This heterogeneity plays a critical position in shaping the behavior and response to therapy for this uncommon ocular malignancy. Targeted treatments with gene-specific therapeutic molecules may prove useful in overcoming radiation resistance, however, the diverse molecular makeups of UM call for a patient-specific approach in therapy procedures. We need to understand the intricate molecular landscape of UM to develop targeted treatments customized to each patient's specific genetic mutations. One of the promising approaches is using liquid biopsies, such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), for detecting and monitoring the disease at the early stages. These non-invasive methods can help us identify the most effective treatment strategies for each patient. Single-cellular is a brand-new analysis platform that gives treasured insights into diagnosis, prognosis, and remedy. The incorporation of this data with known clinical and genomics information will give a better understanding of the complicated molecular mechanisms that UM diseases exploit. In this review, we focused on the heterogeneity and molecular panorama of UM, and to achieve this goal, the authors conducted an exhaustive literature evaluation spanning 1998 to 2023, using keywords like ""uveal melanoma, ""heterogeneity"".

+5326,skin cancer,38724504,Bortezomib exerts its anti-cancer activity through the regulation of Skp2/p53 axis in non-melanoma skin cancer cells and C. elegans.,"Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), encompassing basal and squamous cell carcinoma, is the most prevalent cancer in the United States. While surgical removal remains the conventional therapy with a 95% 5-year cure rate, there is a growing interest in exploring alternative treatment strategies. In this study, we investigated the role of Bortezomib (BTZ), a proteasome inhibitor, in NMSC. Using two NMSC cell lines (A431 and A388), we examined the effects of BTZ treatment. Our results demonstrated that 48 h of BTZ treatment led to downregulating Skp2 expression in both A431 and A388 cells while upregulating p53 expression, specifically in A388 cells. These alterations resulted in impaired cellular growth and caspase-dependent cell death. Silencing Skp2 in A388 cells with siRNA confirmed the upregulation of p53 as a direct target. Furthermore, BTZ treatment increased the Bax to Bcl-2 ratio, promoting mitochondrial permeability and the subsequent release of cytochrome C, thereby activating caspases. We also found that BTZ exerted its antitumor effects by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), as blocking ROS production significantly reduced BTZ-induced apoptotic cell death. Interestingly, BTZ treatment induced autophagy, which is evident from the increased expression of microtubule-associated proteins nucleoporin p62 and LC-3A/B. In addition to cell lines, we assessed the impact of BTZ in an in vivo setting using Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). Our findings demonstrated that BTZ induced germline apoptosis in worms even at low concentrations. Notably, this increased apoptosis was mediated through the activity of CEP-1, the worm's counterpart to mammalian p53. In summary, our study elucidated the molecular mechanism underlying BTZ-induced apoptosis in NMSC cell lines and C. elegans. By targeting the skp2/p53 axis, inducing mitochondrial permeability, generating ROS, and promoting autophagy, BTZ demonstrates promising anti-cancer activity in NMSC. These findings provide novel insights into potential therapeutic strategies for controlling the unregulated growth of NMSC."

These risk categories can be based on reaction phenotypic characteristics, the timing of the reaction and evaluation, the required reaction management, and individual characteristics. Although a multitude of frameworks have been described in the literature, particularly for penicillin allergy labels, there has yet to be a global consensus, and approaches continue to vary between allergy centers. Immune-mediated drug allergies can sometimes be confirmed using skin testing, but a negative drug challenge is required to demonstrate tolerance and remove the allergy from the electronic health record (""delabel"" the allergy). Even for quintessential IgE-mediated drug allergy, penicillin allergy, recent data reveal that a direct oral challenge, without prior skin testing, is an appropriate diagnostic strategy in those who are considered low-risk. Drug allergy pathogenesis and clinical manifestations may vary depending on the culprit drug, and as such, the optimal approach should be based on risk stratification that considers individual patient and reaction characteristics, the likely hypersensitivity reaction phenotype, the drug class, and the patient's clinical needs. This article will describe low-risk drug allergy labels, focusing on β-lactam and sulfonamide antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, iodinated contrast media, and common chemotherapeutics. This review will also address practical management approaches using currently available risk stratification and clinical decision tools."

Skin cancers may present either as a non-invasive tumor or an invasive malignancy. The terminology of carcinoma in situ is used when the tumor is either just limited to epidermis or not present as single cells or nests in the dermis. However, currently the terminology superficial BCC is inappropriately used instead of BCC in situ when the skin cancer is limited to epidermis. In this study we compare the pathologic changes of superficial, nodular, and infiltrative BCCs using electron microscopy to identify the ultrastructural characteristics and validate the previously proposed terminology. Three cases of BCC (superficial BCC, nodular BCC, and infiltrative BCC) diagnosed by dermatopathologists at our institute were selected for review. Paraffin block tissues from these cases were sent for electron microscopy studies which demonstrated disruption of basal lamina in both nodular and infiltrative type of BCC, while it remains intact in BCC superficial type after extensive examination. Therefore, similar to other in situ skin cancers, there is no invasion of the neoplasm in superficial BCC into the dermis. Hence, the older term superficial BCC should be appropriately replaced with the newer terminology BCC in situ."

PTT is a treatment technique involving the use of a laser to raise the temperature of the target tumor until it dies. In this study, the effects of PTT under various conditions of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) occurring in the skin were numerically analyzed and optimized. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with different radii were injected into the center of the SCC. Subsequently, the diffusion behavior of the AuNPs was analyzed to calculate the distribution area of the AuNPs that changed over time. Furthermore, at each elapsed time point after injection, the temperature distribution in the tissue was calculated, as treatment was performed using varying laser intensities. The diffusion coefficient of AuNPs was calculated using the Stokes-Einstein equation, and diffusion behavior of AuNPs in biological tissues was analyzed using the convection-diffusion equation. Additionally, temperature distribution was analyzed using the Pennes bioheat equation. The effect of PTT under each condition was quantitatively analyzed using apoptotic variables. As a result, As the radius of AuNPs increased, the optimal treatment start time was derived as 2 h, 8 h, 8 h, and 12 h, respectively, and the laser intensity at that time was derived as 0.44 W, 0.46 W, 0.42 W, and 0.42 W, respectively.

+5346,skin cancer,38720674,Pathology and resection margins following mastectomy prior to immediate breast reconstruction.,"Risk of local recurrence (LR) (and even distant disease-free survival) after mastectomy is associated with margin status. Furthermore, the vast majority of LR are located at the anterior (superficial) margin. Margins in mastectomy are considered anatomical borders and not true resection margins; such a conception may erroneously lead to underestimation of the risk of LR after mastectomy. If dissection is accurate along the fascia, only skin, subcutaneous tissue and minimal residual breast gland tissue (rBGT) are expected to remain in the patient. However, the subcutaneous fascia is an inconsistent anatomical structure that may be absent in almost half of patients. Studies and routine clinical practice suggest that resection may frequently, though often focally, be within the breast glandular tissue leaving various amounts of rBGT. Such areas may be nidus for subsequent de novo or recurrent premalignant or malignant disease. There is no consensus on handling of close/positive margins and intervention is extrapolated from studies on breast conserving surgery with subsequent radiotherapy.

+5347,skin cancer,38720669,Sensate immediate breast reconstruction.,"As breast cancer therapies and associated oncologic outcomes continue to improve, greater attention has been placed on quality-of-life issues after breast cancer and breast cancer risk-reducing treatments. The loss of sensation that typically occurs after mastectomy can have significant negative psychological, sexual, and functional impact on patients after surgery. Further, injury of nerves not only leads to numbness, but can also cause chronic neuropathic pain, which can be very debilitating to affected patients. In order to minimize these impacts, there is expanding uptake of surgical approaches that preserve nerves at the time of mastectomy and reconstruct injured nerves either during mastectomy or during delayed reconstruction. These advances have been facilitated by anatomic studies investigating different variants of intercostal anatomy and better understanding the course of the nerves innervating the mastectomy skin and nipple-areolar complex (NAC). With improved knowledge of the intercostal nerve anatomy, surgeons are able to carefully preserve nerves at the time of mastectomy, thus improving sensory outcomes. Additionally, nerve reconstruction techniques have advanced, particularly with newer nerve allograft technologies, which allows for nerve reconstruction to be done both at the time of mastectomy, as well as in a delayed fashion. The focus of this article is to describe the current state of sensory preservation and immediate reinnervation at the time of mastectomy and the advances that have allowed for these new approaches."

+5350,skin cancer,38719996,Recycled melanoma-secreted melanosomes regulate tumor-associated macrophage diversification.,"Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important mediators of communication between cells. Here, we reveal a new mode of intercellular communication by melanosomes, large EVs secreted by melanocytes for melanin transport. Unlike small EVs, which are disintegrated within the receiver cell, melanosomes stay intact within them, gain a unique protein signature, and can then be further transferred to another cell as ""second-hand"" EVs. We show that melanoma-secreted melanosomes passaged through epidermal keratinocytes or dermal fibroblasts can be further engulfed by resident macrophages. This process leads to macrophage polarization into pro-tumor or pro-immune cell infiltration phenotypes. Melanosomes that are transferred through fibroblasts can carry AKT1, which induces VEGF secretion from macrophages in an mTOR-dependent manner, promoting angiogenesis and metastasis in vivo. In melanoma patients, macrophages that are co-localized with AKT1 are correlated with disease aggressiveness, and immunotherapy non-responders are enriched in macrophages containing melanosome markers. Our findings suggest that interactions mediated by second-hand extracellular vesicles contribute to the formation of the metastatic niche, and that blocking the melanosome cues of macrophage diversification could be helpful in halting melanoma progression."

Imaging the matrix densities of proteins like collagen in fixed tissue sections with suitable stains and labels is a standard for diagnosis and staging. However, fine changes in matrix density are difficult to realize by conventional histological staining and microscopy as the matrix fibrils are finer than the resolving capacity of these microscopes. The dyes further blur the outline of the matrix and add a background that bottlenecks high-precision early diagnosis of matrix diseases. Here we demonstrate the multiple signal classification method-MUSICAL-otherwise a computational super-resolution microscopy technique to precisely estimate matrix density in fixed tissue sections using fibril autofluorescence with image stacks acquired on a conventional epifluorescence microscope.

Mogamulizumab, a humanized anti-CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) antibody, is sometimes used as a bridge to transplantation, but its potential interactions with allo-HCT are unclear. This report describes the case of a 37-year-old man with advanced SS who received mogamulizumab therapy followed by allo-HCT from an HLA-identical sibling donor. The patient developed severe gastrointestinal acute GvHD, which was treated with steroids and infliximab. However, the condition rapidly progressed to severe intestinal symptoms and life-threatening haemorrhagic shock, ultimately resulting in the patient's death. This case highlights a potential link between mogamulizumab and severe acute GvHD promoted by drug-induced suppression of regulatory T cells. Further research is required to fully understand the interaction between mogamulizumab and allo-HCT and to determine whether it is an optimal approach as a bridge to transplant therapy. This paradigmatic case suggests the need of personalizing transplant strategies by selecting appropriate conditioning therapy and GvHD prophylaxis to minimize potential toxicity."

However, few reports have described the effectiveness of single-fraction 8-Gy radiotherapy in painful tumors other than bone metastases. We conducted a retrospective analysis to evaluate the pain response to single-fraction 8-Gy radiotherapy in painful non-bone-metastasis tumors. We included patients who had received single-fraction 8-Gy radiotherapy for such tumors between January 2017 and December 2022, excluding those with brain metastases, hematological tumors and those who received re-irradiation. Pain response assessment was based on the best responses documented in the medical records and conducted by two radiation oncologists. A total of 36 eligible patients were included in this study. The irradiation sites included primary lesions in eight patients, lymph node metastases in eight, muscle metastases in seven, pleural dissemination in four, skin/subcutaneous metastases in four and other sites in five. Pain response was assessed in 24 patients after radiotherapy. Pain response rate was 88% in evaluable patients; 21 of the 24 patients experienced response. The median assessment date for pain response was 37 days (range: 8-156 days) after radiotherapy. Re-irradiation was performed in four patients (11%). Single-fraction 8-Gy radiotherapy seemed to be a promising treatment option for painful non-bone-metastasis tumors and warrants further investigation."

+5361,skin cancer,38718296,The Circadian Clock Component RORA Increases Immunosurveillance in Melanoma by Inhibiting PD-L1 Expression.,"Circadian clock perturbation frequently occurs in cancer and facilitates tumor progression by regulating malignant growth and shaping the immune microenvironment. Emerging evidence has indicated that clock genes are disrupted in melanoma and linked to immune escape. Herein, we found that the expression of retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor-α (RORA) is downregulated in melanoma patients and that patients with higher RORA expression have a better prognosis after immunotherapy. Additionally, RORA was significantly positively correlated with T-cell infiltration and recruitment. Overexpression or activation of RORA stimulated cytotoxic T-cell-mediated antitumor responses. RORA bound to the CD274 promoter and formed an inhibitory complex with HDAC3 to suppress PD-L1 expression. In contrast, the DEAD-box helicase family member DDX3X competed with HDAC3 for binding to RORA, and DDX3X overexpression promoted RORA release from the suppressive complex and thereby increased PD-L1 expression to generate an inhibitory immune environment. The combination of a RORA agonist with an anti-CTLA4 antibody synergistically increased T-cell antitumor immunity in vivo. A score based on the combined expression of HDAC3, DDX3X, and RORA correlated with immunotherapy response in melanoma patients. Together, this study elucidates a mechanism of clock component-regulated antitumor immunity, which will help inform the use of immunotherapy and lead to improved outcomes for melanoma patients receiving combined therapeutic treatments. Significance: RORA forms a corepressor complex to inhibit PD-L1 expression and activate antitumor T-cell responses, indicating that RORA is a potential target and predictive biomarker to improve immunotherapy response in melanoma patients."

+5363,skin cancer,38718197,Apoptosis Pathway-Associated Proteins Are Frequently Expressed in Melanoma: A Study of 32 Cases With Focus on Acral Lentiginous Melanoma.,"Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) is an aggressive type of cutaneous melanoma (CM) that arises on palms, soles, and nail units. ALM is rare in White population, but it is relatively more frequent in dark-skinned populations. There is an unmet need to develop new personalized and more effective treatments strategies for ALM. Increased expression of antiapoptotic proteins (ie, BCL2, MCL1) has been shown to contribute to tumorigenesis and therapeutic resistance in multiple tumor types and has been observed in a subset of ALM and mucosal melanoma cell lines in vivo and in vitro. However, little is known about their expression and clinical significance in patients with ALM. Thus, we assessed protein expression of BCL2, MCL1, BIM, and BRAF V600E by immunohistochemistry in 32 melanoma samples from White and Hispanic populations, including ALM and non-ALM (NALM). BCL2, MCL1, and BIM were expressed in both ALM and NALM tumors, and no significant differences in expression of any of these proteins were detected between the groups, in our relatively small cohort. There were no significant associations between protein expression and BRAF V600E status, overall survival, or ethnicity. In summary, ALM and NALM demonstrate frequent expressions of apoptosis-related proteins BCL2, MCL1, and BIM. Our findings suggest that patients with melanoma, including ALM, may be potential candidates for apoptosis-directed therapies."

Consequently, an early diagnosis and treatment of IT metastasis assume paramount significance. Despite this, the diagnosis of cutaneous IT metastases persistently presents a formidable challenge due to the diversity in clinical and dermoscopic characteristics.

In addition, the safe administration of lidocaine in the home setting is described. A 49-year-old man with metastatic melanoma to lung, right axilla and posterior chest wall on regular pembrolizumab developed checkpoint inhibitor inflammatory arthritis. Pain associated with this was unresponsive to simple analgesia, escalating opioids and adjuvant analgesics. Lidocaine infusion was used on separate occasions (inpatient unit and home setting) to gain rapid and sustained control of inflammatory pain. Inflammatory pain responded well to 2 mg/kg/h lidocaine infusion over 4 days with sustained response between infusions of up to 6 wk. Resulting in improved mobility, functional status, and overall quality of life. Lidocaine infusion should be considered as an option for analgesic management of checkpoint inhibitor inflammatory arthritis in patients for whom usual treatment is ineffective, and as an opioid-sparing intervention."

Currently, it is used in evaluation of both inflammatory and neoplastic conditions of the nail unit. However, in contrast to the skin, the anatomy of the nail unit prevents direct observation of nail bed or nail matrix structure during classic onychoscopy. Intra-operative onychoscopy is a variant of the technique which uses direct visualization of the nail unit structures after nail plate avulsion. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize the current state of knowledge on intra-operative onychoscopy. The MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane databases were systematically searched in January 2024. All types of study designs assessing intra-operative dermoscopy of the nail unit were included in this study. The risk of bias in included studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools. The qualitative synthesis of 19 studies totalling a number of 218 cases in 217 patients included the following entities: melanoma, nevus, hypermelanosis (melanocytic activation), melanocytic hyperplasia, melanophages accumulation, squamous cell carcinoma, glomus tumour, lichen planus, onychomatricoma, onychomycosis and subungual exostosis. The main limitation of the study was a relatively low number of identified studies, most with low levels of evidence. Intra-operative onychoscopy does not replace histologic examination, though it may be useful in determining the modality of surgical diagnostic procedures."

Traditionally, various local flap methods involving tissue advancement from the corner of the mouth, lateral chin, and medial cheek have been commonly employed to fill lower lip defects. However, these approaches have inherent limitations, which include technical complexity, disruption of the orbicularis oris muscle, lip tightening, microstomia, and visible scarring. To overcome these limitations, we employed a free myomucosal composite graft from the lower lip to reconstruct small to medium vermilion defects. Our technique is based on a simple and reproducible surgical approach that facilitates natural volume rearrangement of tissues. Moreover, this method enables precise inset and tension-free repair, prevents lip tightening, and offers excellent aesthetic outcomes with no vertical scarring and appropriate color matching with surrounding tissues."

Although there are several retrospective studies in Japanese patients, they have investigated only the dabrafenib + trametinib regimen, and have had a short follow-up period. We conducted a single-center retrospective study to update previous studies and compare the outcomes with those in White patients. We analyzed 89 patients who received dabrafenib + trametinib or encorafenib +��binimetinib, including 11 who received both treatment regimens. The overall response rate was 79.8%, with complete response in 25 patients (28.1%) and partial response in 45 patients (51.7%). The median progression-free survival was 13.7 months, and the median overall survival was 32.9 months. The 3-year progression-free and overall survival rates were 31.8% and 47.9%, respectively. Although the two regimens showed no significant differences in efficacy, their safety profiles differed, as reported in clinical trials. Therefore, the most frequent adverse event associated with the dabrafenib + trametinib regimen was pyrexia (61.3%) and that of encorafenib + binimetinib was blurred vision (32.0%). Switching directly to another targeted therapy after progressive disease showed no clinical response; however, rechallenge followed by immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy showed a certain response. As a prognostic factor, performance status was associated with progression-free survival, and performance status, serum lactate dehydrogenase level, and dose interruption were associated with overall survival in the multivariate analysis. Real-world data on targeted therapy for patients with melanoma in Japan suggest that both dabrafenib + trametinib and encorafenib + binimetinib show similar efficacy and safety in Asian and White patients."
+5373,skin cancer,38715609,From standard therapies to monoclonal antibodies and immune checkpoint inhibitors - an update for reconstructive surgeons on common oncological cases.,"Malignancies represent a persisting worldwide health burden. Tumor treatment is commonly based on surgical and/or non-surgical therapies. In the recent decade, novel non-surgical treatment strategies involving monoclonal antibodies (mAB) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have been successfully incorporated into standard treatment algorithms. Such emerging therapy concepts have demonstrated improved complete remission rates and prolonged progression-free survival compared to conventional chemotherapies. However, the in-toto surgical tumor resection followed by reconstructive surgery oftentimes remains the only curative therapy. Breast cancer (BC), skin cancer (SC), head and neck cancer (HNC), and sarcoma amongst other cancer entities commonly require reconstructive surgery to restore form, aesthetics, and functionality. Understanding the basic principles, strengths, and limitations of mAB and ICI as (neo-) adjuvant therapies and treatment alternatives for resectable or unresectable tumors is paramount for optimized surgical therapy planning. Yet, there is a scarcity of studies that condense the current body of literature on mAB and ICI for BC, SC, HNC, and sarcoma. This knowledge gap may result in suboptimal treatment planning, ultimately impairing patient outcomes. Herein, we aim to summarize the current translational endeavors focusing on mAB and ICI. This line of research may serve as an evidence-based fundament to guide targeted therapy and optimize interdisciplinary anti-cancer strategies."

Overweight or obesity is associated with an increased risk of developing cancer. Dysfunctional adipose tissue alters cancer cell proliferation and migration; however, whether and how neoplastic epithelial cells communicate with adipose tissue and the underlying mechanism are less clear. BTG3 is a member of the anti-proliferative BTG/Tob family and functions as a tumor suppressor. Here, we demonstrated that BTG3 levels are downregulated in basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma compared to normal skin tissue, and Btg3 knockout in mice augmented the development of papilloma in a mouse model of DMBA/TPA-induced skin carcinogenesis. Mechanistically, BTG3-knockout keratinocytes promoted adipocyte differentiation mainly through the release of IL1α, IL10, and CCL4, as a result of elevated NF-κB activity. These adipocytes produced CCL20 and FGF7 in a feedback loop to promote keratinocyte migration. Thus, our findings showcased the role of BTG3 in guarding the interplay between keratinocytes and adjacent adipocytes, and identified the underlying neoplastic molecular mediators that may serve as possible targets in the treatment of skin cancer."

Skin is a primary line of defense, yet this organ undergoes extensive remodelling during metamorphosis and how it responds to TH is poorly understood. Temperature modulation, which regulates metamorphic timing, is a unique way to uncover early TH-induced transcriptomic events. Metamorphosis of premetamorphic tadpoles is induced by exogenous TH administration at 24 °C but is paused at 5 °C. However, at 5 °C a ""molecular memory"" of TH exposure is retained that results in an accelerated metamorphosis upon shifting to 24 °C. We used RNA-sequencing to identify changes in Rana (Lithobates) catesbeiana back skin gene expression during natural and TH-induced metamorphosis. During natural metamorphosis, significant differential expression (DE) was observed in >6500 transcripts including classic TH-responsive transcripts (thrb and thibz), heat shock proteins, and innate immune system components: keratins, mucins, and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Premetamorphic tadpoles maintained at 5 °C showed 83 DE transcripts within 48 h after TH administration, including thibz which has previously been identified as a molecular memory component in other tissues. Over 3600 DE transcripts were detected in TH-treated tadpoles at 24 °C or when tadpoles held at 5 °C were shifted to 24 °C. Gene ontology (GO) terms related to transcription, RNA metabolic processes, and translation were enriched in both datasets and immune related GO terms were observed in the temperature-modulated experiment.

In calcium electroporation, chemotherapy is replaced by calcium chloride with obvious benefits. This study explores the effect and underlying mechanisms of calcium electroporation on basal cell carcinomas using either high- or low-frequency electroporation. Low-risk primary basal cell carcinomas were treated in local anaesthesia with intratumoral calcium chloride followed by electroporation with high (167 kHz) or low (5 kHz) frequencies. Non-complete responders were retreated after 3 months. The primary endpoint was tumour response 3 months after last calcium electroporation. Plasma membrane calcium ATPase was examined in various cell lines as plasma membrane calcium ATPase levels have been associated with calcium electroporation efficacy. Twenty-two out of 25 included patients complete the study and 7 of these (32%) achieved complete response at 3 months with no difference in efficacy between high- and low-frequency pulses. High-frequency calcium electroporation was significantly less painful (p=0.03). Plasma membrane calcium ATPase was increased 16-32-fold in basal cell carcinoma cell lines compared with 4 other cancer cell lines. Calcium electroporation for low-risk basal cell carcinomas does not fulfil the requirements of a new dermatological basal cell carcinoma treatment but may be useful as adjuvant treatment to surgery in more advanced basal cell carcinomas. The elevated PMCA levels in basal cell carcinomas may contribute to low efficacy."

Within the tumour microenvironment, hypoxia activates hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) in tumour cells. High HIF1α expression correlates with enhanced glycolysis and poorer outcomes in human cancers. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying hypoxic tumour cells remain elusive in dogs. In our study, we investigated upregulated genes in a canine malignant melanoma cell line during hypoxia using RNA-sequencing analysis. Glycolysis and HIF1 signalling pathways were upregulated in hypoxic melanoma cells. HIF1α knockout melanoma cells revealed that the glycolysis marker MCT4 is regulated by HIF1α activation. Hypoxia induces high lactate secretion due to enhanced glycolysis in canine melanoma cells. Furthermore, we examined monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4) expression in malignant melanoma and eight other types of canine tumour tissues using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Membrane-localized MCT4 protein was mostly detected in urothelial carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma rather than malignant melanoma. We conclude that canine MCT4 protein plays a role in lactic acid efflux from glycolytic cells and may serve as a marker for hypoxia and glycolysis in canine tumours. These findings could inform future therapeutic strategies targeting MCT4."

Enfortumab vedotin, an antibody-drug conjugate directed to Nectin-4, and pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, are two therapies that have individually provided a survival benefit in patients with la/mUC. The combination regimen of enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab was evaluated in EV-302 (KEYNOTE-A39; NCT0422385), a phase 3 study that showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival, progression-free survival, and a key secondary endpoint of overall response rate versus chemotherapy. Based on these results and those from the EV-103 (KEYNOTE-869; NCT03288545) Dose Escalation cohort, Cohort A, and Cohort K, enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab was granted approval from the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of adults with la/mUC. While guidelines and recommendations for the management of adverse events (AEs) have been developed for immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy and enfortumab vedotin monotherapy, additional guidance is needed for managing AEs that occur with enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab. As monotherapies, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab are both associated with some of the AEs observed with the combination, such as skin reactions, pneumonitis, and diarrhea, which may confound the attribution of the AE to a specific agent and thereby complicate clinical management. In this manuscript, we aim to provide recommendations for best practice for patient care and the management of AEs of clinical interest for patients with la/mUC receiving enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab, including skin reactions, peripheral neuropathy, hyperglycemia, and pneumonitis. These recommendations were developed based on published guidelines, expert opinions, and the clinical experience of the authors, which include oncologist, advanced practice provider, nursing, and pharmacy perspectives. In addition, guidance on patient education and communication is provided. With vigilant monitoring, early detection, and prompt intervention of treatment-emergent AEs based on recommended approaches described herein, it is the authors' experience that most AEs can be managed with supportive therapy and dose modification/interruptions, allowing patients to continue treatment."

However, current statistical methods are limited by inability to synthesize multiple data types, such as patient genetics, clinical history, demographics, and pathology and reveal significant multimodal relationships through predictive algorithms. Advances in computing power and data science enabled the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), which synthesizes vast amounts of data and applies algorithms that enable personalized diagnostic approaches. Here, we analyze AI methods used in skin cancer survival analysis, focusing on supervised learning, unsupervised learning, deep learning, and natural language processing. We illustrate strengths and weaknesses of these approaches with examples. Our PubMed search yielded 14 publications meeting inclusion criteria for this scoping review. Most publications focused on melanoma, particularly histopathologic interpretation with deep learning. Such concentration on a single type of skin cancer amid increasing focus on deep learning highlight growing areas for innovation; however, it also demonstrates opportunity for additional analysis that addresses other types of cutaneous malignancies and expands the scope of prognostication to combine both genetic, histopathologic, and clinical data. Moreover, researchers may leverage multiple AI methods for enhanced benefit in analyses. Expanding AI to this arena may enable improved survival analysis, targeted treatments, and outcomes."

Clinical or subclinical persistent inflammation of the feet is caused by dermatophytosis of the feet (DPF). Persistent inflammation is potentially associated with oncogenesis. Moreover, diabetes has been reported to be associated with the development of dermatophytosis and cancer. The present study aimed to elucidate the clinical association between DPF and AMF, with consideration of diabetes. The medical records of 114 Japanese patients were retrospectively examined and divided into an AMF group (n = 30) and a control group consisting of patients with foot diseases other than melanoma (n = 84). Microscopic DPF screening was performed on all patients who reported symptoms in the foot, with or without AMF. Patients underwent a microscopic test to detect the presence of dermatophytes, and the diagnosis of DPF was made based on a positive result. In the AMF group, 18 (60.0%) and eight (26.7%) patients had DPF and diabetes, respectively. Four patients (13.3%) had both DPF and diabetes.

Blockade of this pathway results in cell depletion, while overactivation leads to mastocytosis or melanoma. Expression defects are associated with pigmentary and mast cell disorders. KIT ligand regulation is complex but efficient targeting of this system would be of significant benefit to those suffering from melanocytic or mast cell disorders. Herein, we review the known associations of this pathway with cutaneous diseases and the regulators of this system both in skin and in the more well-studied germ cell system. Exogenous agents modulating this pathway will also be presented. Ultimately, we will review potential therapeutic opportunities to help our patients with melanocytic and mast cell disease processes potentially including vitiligo, hair greying, melasma, urticaria, mastocytosis and melanoma."

It can demonstrate pigmentation, myxoid changes, myoid differentiation, plaque-like growth, and fibrosarcomatous features; its varied presentation often complicates diagnosis. We report an extremely rare case of fibrosarcomatous DFSP with features reminiscent of a pleomorphic hyalinizing angiectatic tumor (PHAT) in a 73-year-old male. The diagnosis was confirmed using a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. To the best of our knowledge, PHAT-like changes in DFPS have not been described so far. Therefore, this report provides a novel variant of DFSP and expands the differential diagnosis of DFSP and PHAT."
+5398,skin cancer,38711196,Adenocarcinoma of anogenital mammary gland type arising from encapsulated papillary carcinoma: A rare vulvar tumor mimicking breast carcinoma.,"Anogenital mammary-like glands are normal structures of the anogenital region. Tumors originating from these glands often exhibit a striking resemblance to their mammary gland counterparts. Herein, we present a rare case of adenocarcinoma of mammary gland type in the vulva of a 69-year-old female. Histopathologic examination revealed a complex lesion, which included a large encapsulated papillary carcinoma (EPC) with associated invasive carcinoma of mammary gland type and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). The invasive component consisted mostly of invasive ductal carcinoma of no special type, with a notable focus of invasive mucinous carcinoma. p40 immunostain demonstrated a lack of myoepithelial cells in both the EPC and invasive carcinoma, but such cells expressed p40 around the ducts involved by DCIS. The main component of this lesion, EPC, was characterized by a papillary proliferation within a cystic space surrounded by a fibrous capsule without a myoepithelial layer. The histopathologic features of anogenital EPC closely resemble cutaneous hidradenoma papilliferum. Indeed, there have been a few reports in the literature describing cases where in situ and invasive carcinoma arose from a preexisting hidradenoma papilliferum. As tumors of anogenital mammary-like glands bear a closer resemblance to breast lesions than to skin tumors, we recommend that they be aligned with the classification of well-established breast lesions rather than cutaneous adnexal tumors."

An illustrative case report with literature review.,"Traditionally, skin involvement in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) has been considered to be either specific (leukemia cutis) or non-specific, with granulomatous dermatitis included in the latter group. More recently, the true nature of the myeloid cells present in the cutaneous infiltrates of this theoretically reactive dermatitis is being clarified with the use of new molecular techniques such as next-generation sequencing. The same mutations in bone marrow (BM) myeloid neoplastic cells and in the cells of cutaneous infiltrates have been found. We present the case of a 77-year-old man who presented with spread and treatment-resistant skin granulomatous lesions previous to the diagnosis of CMML. The same clonal mutations in SRSF2, IDH1, and RUNX1 were found in both skin and BM with resolution of the lesions after the initiation of azacytidine. In conclusion, we report an exceptional case in which specific granulomatous cutaneous lesions have preceded and allowed the earlier diagnosis of an underlying CMML and a review of all previous similar cases in the literature, including molecular alterations."

CtBP1/BARS overexpression, in multiple cancers, has pro-tumorigenic functions regulating gene networks associated with ""cancer hallmarks"" and malignant behavior including: increased cell survival, proliferation, migration/invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Structurally, CtBP1/BARS belongs to the hydroxyacid-dehydrogenase family and possesses a NAD(H)-binding Rossmann fold, which, depending on ligands bound, controls the oligomerization of CtBP1/BARS and, in turn, its cellular functions. Here, we proposed to target the CtBP1/BARS Rossmann fold with small molecules as selective inhibitors of mitotic entry and pro-tumoral transcriptional activities."

This study describes the authors' experience with sinonasal tumor surgery using a BiZact and discusses its clinical utility and advantages. The authors analyzed BiZact-assisted endoscopic sinonasal tumor surgery cases between January 2021 and May 2023. Data were collected on patients' demographics, histopathology, extent of tumor involvement, surgical records, and postoperative medical records. Clinical utility was assessed using the success rate of complete tumor excision, estimated blood loss during surgery, device-related complications, and operation time. A survey of the surgeons' BiZact experience was also conducted. The diagnoses of the 20 patients in this study included squamous cell carcinoma (n = 2), malignant melanoma (n = 1), sarcoma (n = 1), natural killer cell lymphoma (n = 1), inverted papilloma (n = 12), angiofibroma (n = 2), and schwannoma (n = 1). This pilot study demonstrated a shortened operative time, with a median of 0.8 hours and <100 mL of intraoperative blood loss. In addition, no BiZact-related complications were observed. The BiZact device allows efficient sinonasal surgery because it has the unique advantage of one-step sealing and cutting. BiZact-assisted endoscopic sinonasal tumor surgery is a beneficial and safe procedure that reduces blood loss during surgery, shortens the operative time, and minimizes postoperative complications."

However, the prevalence of CAM use is difficult to quantify as it varies based on many factors. Given the exploratory nature of the topic, a scoping review was conducted to identify studies that quantify biologically based CAM use in skin cancer patients. A comprehensive search of Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science databases from inception to August 28th, 2023, was performed. A total of 3,150 articles were identified through the database search. After article screening, 6 studies were suitable for inclusion in this review. Articles included were all questionnaire, survey, or interview style. Biologically based CAM use is prevalent in skin cancer patients. It can be associated with many factors such as location, stage of cancer, and age. CAM use can interact with conventional therapy; therefore, physicians should employ a culturally competent approach to inquiring about CAM use in order to improve patient outcomes and identify patterns and predictors of use.J Drugs Dermatol. 2024;23(5):322-326. doi:10.36849/JDD.8077."

The immune checkpoint inhibitors approved by the FDA target programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway. These medications have expanded treatment options; however, side effects are an important consideration. We used the FDA Adverse Events Reporting System (FAERS) to characterize the most prevalent, real-world side effects experienced by patients on these agents. Muscle spasms (23.45%), alopecia (16.06%), ageusia (12.02%), taste disorder (11.91%), and fatigue (11.67%) were the five most common side effects reported with medications used for BCC treatment. Logistic regression analysis showed males on vismodegib for BCC having greater odds of experiencing muscle spasms (aOR 1.33, P&lt;0.001) and ageusia (aOR 1.34,&nbsp; P&lt;0.001) versus females, who were more likely to exhibit alopecia (aOR 1.82, P&lt;0.001) and nausea (aOR 1.96, P&lt;0.001). With SCC treatment, the 5 most reported adverse events were fatigue (5.58%), rash (3.59%), asthenia (3.59%), pruritus (3.19%), and pyrexia (2.79%). Patients taking cemiplimab-rwlc for BCC compared to SCC were more likely to experience disease progression (aOR 10.98, P=0.02). With medication labels providing an excessively daunting list of side effects, we characterize practical side effects seen in patients receiving systemic treatments for non-melanoma skin cancers.&nbsp; J Drugs Dermatol. 2024;23(5):301-305. doi:10.36849/JDD.7968."

Immunosuppression increases the risk of MCC and is associated with poor prognosis. Organ transplant recipients (OTR) have worse overall survival (OS) than patients with immunosuppression due to other causes. Treating MCC after organ transplantation is challenging, as checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy, the standard of care for treating MCC, increases the risk of transplant rejection. This paper reviews the cases of two simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant (SPKT) recipients with MCC and explores the role of immunosuppression in the development of MCC. Immunosuppression was discontinued and checkpoint inhibitor therapy was initiated in the first patient and considered by the second patient. In both cases, treatment failed, and the patients died shortly after developing metastatic MCC. These cases illustrate the need for improved multidisciplinary treatment regimens for MCC in OTRs.

Herein, we performed clinicopathologic and genetic analyses of 4 cases. Four elderly women (median age 77 y, range: 68 to 82 y) were included. The median tumor size was 12.5 (10 to 40 mm). Tumors were located on the scalp, temple, thigh, and palm. Two (50%) patients presented with regional lymph node metastases. Neither distant metastasis nor mortality was observed during patient follow-up of 10.5 (3 to 15) months. Sanger, panel DNA and whole-exome RNA sequencing revealed BRD3::NUTM1 (n=2) and BRD4::NUTM1 (n=2) fusions. Histology of BRD3 -rearranged tumors revealed an epidermal connection, relatively small tumor nests, and ductal or intracytoplasmic luminal formation, whereas that of BRD4 -rearranged tumors revealed large solid nests comprising discohesive tumor cells. NUT, cytokeratins, p63, EMA, TRPS1, c-MYB, CD56, and INSM1 were immunoexpressed to varying degrees in all (100%) tumors. Furthermore, diffuse SOX10 expression was common (3/4, 75%). The literature review of five previously described cases revealed women predominance, no recurrence, frequent BRD3::NUTM1 fusions, and histology of ductoglandular structures. Our study findings and literature suggest elderly women predominance, relatively frequent BRD3::NUTM1 fusions, histopathologic ductoglandular differentiation, absence of abrupt keratinisation, and a characteristic immunoprofile in primary cutaneous NUT carcinoma, unlike in that of other organ.

Methodology We surveyed Saiseikai hospitals and gathered data on surgical procedures, POA occurrences, potential triggers, and diagnostic methods. Results Among 70,523 surgeries, seven were associated with POA, resulting in an approximate incidence rate of 0.01%. Rocuronium was the most commonly suspected trigger, followed by sugammadex, latex, and angiography contrast agents. Despite the importance of skin tests as the most basic and crucial diagnostic method, they were conducted in only three instances. No in vitro tests for drug identification were conducted, and in four cases, the cause was determined merely based on the timing of drug administration, indicating significant diagnostic limitations. Conclusions The study underscores the critical situation in Japan regarding insufficient diagnostic practices and difficulties in identifying triggering drugs rather than the consistent prevalence of POA in secondary care facilities. The findings emphasize the need for improved diagnostic proficiency and more rigorous drug identification practices to ensure prompt and accurate POA diagnosis. It is essential to conduct further research and interventions to increase patient safety during the perioperative period in secondary care settings."

Research in the Mediterranean Sea suggests bacterial sensitivity to these filters, raising concerns about their integration into the food chain. This review aims to guide researchers in developing effective strategies for photostabilization of UV filters. By combining encapsulation, photostabilizers, and antioxidants, researchers can potentially reduce phototoxic effects and contribute to developing more environmentally friendly sunscreens."

While available treatments have improved survival, long-term benefits are still unsatisfactory. The mitogen-activated protein kinase extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) promotes melanoma growth, and ERK5 inhibition determines cellular senescence and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype. Here, latent-transforming growth factor β-binding protein 1 (LTBP1) mRNA was found to be up-regulated in A375 and SK-Mel-5 BRAF V600E melanoma cells after ERK5 inhibition. In keeping with a key role of LTBP1 in regulating transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), TGF-β1 protein levels were increased in lysates and conditioned media of ERK5-knockdown (KD) cells, and were reduced upon LTBP1 KD. Both LTBP1 and TGF-β1 proteins were increased in melanoma xenografts in mice treated with the ERK5 inhibitor XMD8-92. Moreover, treatment with conditioned media from ERK5-KD melanoma cells reduced cell proliferation and invasiveness, and TGF-β1-neutralizing antibodies impaired these effects. In silico data sets revealed that higher expression levels of both LTBP1 and TGF-β1 mRNA were associated with better overall survival of melanoma patients. Increased LTBP1 or TGF-β1 expression played a beneficial role in patients treated with anti-PD1 immunotherapy, making a possible immunosuppressive role of LTBP1/TGF-β1 unlikely upon ERK5 inhibition. This study, therefore, identifies additional desirable effects of ERK5 targeting, providing evidence of an ERK5-dependent tumor-suppressive role of TGF-β in melanoma."
+5443,skin cancer,38705331,A cross-linked macropore hydrogel based on M1 macrophage lysate and alginate regulates tumor-associated macrophages for the treatment of melanoma.,"Pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages possess the ability to change the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by releasing various inflammatory factors simultaneously, which can effectively inhibit tumor progression and relapse. Promoting macrophage polarization towards M1 may be an effective way to treat Melanoma. However, the risk of cytokine storm caused by the proliferation and excessive activation of M1 macrophages greatly limits it as a biosafety therapeutic strategy in anti-tumor immunotherapy. Therefore, how to engineer natural M1 macrophage to a biocompatible biomaterial that maintains the duration time of tumor suppressive property duration time still remains a huge challenge. To achieve this goal, we developed an injectable macroporous hydrogel (M1LMHA) using natural M1 macrophage lysates and alginate as raw materials. M1LMHA had excellent biocompatibility, adjustable degradation rate and could sustainably release varieties of natural inflammatory factors, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), and interleukin-12 (IL-12), etc. M1LMHA could repolarize anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages to M1 macrophages by the synergistic effect of released tiny inflammatory factors via the NF-κB pathway. This study supported that M1LMHA might be an effective and safe tool to activate tumor-associated immune cells, improving the efficiency of anti-tumor immunotherapy."

The differential diagnosis is distinct for these classifications. The etiologies of localized longitudinal erythronychia are most frequently benign subungual neoplasms and less often malignancies. Polydactylous longitudinal erythronychia is typically secondary to regional or systemic diseases, including lichen planus and Darier disease. LE is a common but underrecognized clinical finding. Increased dermatologist awareness of the clinical characteristics and differential diagnosis for LE is necessary given the possibility for malignancy and associated systemic disease. In this clinical review, the clinical features, differential diagnosis, evaluation, and management of LE are described."

+5446,skin cancer,38704961,Is it possible to treat melanoma by intercepting the CXCR4/CXCL12 pathway?,"Melanoma is a particularly aggressive type of skin cancer that can spread to distant organs, resulting in poor patient outcomes. C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) interacts to the C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4). This connection between CXCR4 and its companion ligand CXCL12 is important in melanoma metastasis and progression, encouraging cell proliferation, invasion, and survival via downstream signaling pathways. Furthermore, CXCR4 is implicated in the interaction between melanoma cells and the tumor microenvironment, which promotes malignant cell migration and immune evasion. Given the importance of the CXCR4/CXCL12 axis in melanoma, addressing this axis has the potential to prevent metastasis and improve patient outcomes. We present an overview of the CXCR4/CXCL12 axis in cancer progression and explain its role in the melanoma microenvironment in this paper. Furthermore, we investigate CXCR4's predictive usefulness as a possible biomarker for monitoring melanoma progression. Finally, we discuss the most recent research and clinical trials on CXCR4 inhibitors, emphasizing their efficacy and limits. We hope to improve the quality of life for melanoma patients by better understanding the role of CXCR4 and investigating novel therapeutic options."

We propose a MTL module (MTLM) that incorporates an attention mechanism to enable the model to learn more integrated, variable information. We propose a dynamic strategy to adjust the loss weights of different tasks, and trade off the contributions of multiple branches. Instead of feature-level fusion, we propose label-level fusion and combine the results of our proposed MTLM with the results of the image classification network to achieve better lesion prediction on multiple dermatological datasets. We verify the effectiveness of the proposed model by quantitative and qualitative measures. The MTL network using multi-modal clues and label-level fusion can yield the significant performance improvement for skin lesion classification."

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) provide one tier of regulatory mechanisms to maintain metabolic homeostasis. Although lncRNAs are a significant constituent of the mammalian genome, studies aimed at their metabolic significance, including obesity, are only beginning to be addressed. Here, a developmentally regulated lncRNA, termed as obesity related (Obr), whose expression in metabolically relevant tissues such as skeletal muscle, liver, and pancreas is altered in diet-induced obesity, is identified. The Clone 9 cell line and high-fat diet-induced obese Wistar rats are used as a model system to verify the function of Obr. By using stable expression and antisense oligonucleotide-mediated downregulation of the expression of Obr followed by different molecular biology experiments, its role in lipid metabolism is verified. It is shown that Obr associates with the cAMP response element-binding protein (Creb) and activates different transcription factors involved in lipid metabolism. Its association with the Creb histone acetyltransferase complex, which includes the cAMP response element-binding protein (CBP) and p300, positively regulates the transcription of genes involved in lipid metabolism. In addition, Obr is regulated by Pparγ in response to lipid accumulation."
+5450,skin cancer,38704698,ZNF469 is a profibrotic regulator of extracellular matrix in hepatic stellate cells.,"Activation of quiescent hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) into proliferative myofibroblasts drives extracellular cellular matrix (ECM) accumulation and liver fibrosis; nevertheless, the transcriptional network that promotes such a process is not completely understood. ZNF469 is a putative C2H2 zinc finger protein that may bind to specific genome sequences. It is found to be upregulated upon HSC activation; however, the molecular function of ZNF469 is completely unknown. Here, we show that knockdown of ZNF469 in primary human HSCs impaired proliferation, migration, and collagen production. Conversely, overexpression of ZNF469 in HSCs yielded the opposite results. Transforming growth factor-β 1 promoted expression of ZNF469 in a Smad3-dependent manner, where the binding of Smad3 was confirmed at the ZNF469 promoter. RNA sequencing data of ZNF469-knockdown HSCs revealed the ECM-receptor interaction, which provides structural and signaling support to cells, was the most affected pathway, and significant downregulation of various collagen and proteoglycan genes was observed. To investigate the function of ZNF469, we cloned a full-length open reading frame of ZNF469 with an epitope tag and identified a nuclear localization of the protein. Luciferase reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays revealed the presence of ZNF469 at the promoter of ECM genes, supporting its function as a transcription factor. Analysis of human fibrotic and cirrhotic tissues showed increased expression of ZNF469 and a positive correlation between expression levels of ZNF469 and ECM genes. Moreover, this observation was similar in other fibrotic organs, including the heart, lung, and skin, suggesting that myofibroblasts from various origins generally require ZNF469 to promote ECM production. Together, this study is the first to reveal the role of ZNF469 as a profibrotic factor in HSCs and suggests ZNF469 as a novel target for antifibrotic therapy."

Through controlling the initial take-off around the whole circumference of the breast footprint, a favourable and durable breast conus is consistently achieved. This technique employs designated segments of comparatively more rigid irradiated mastectomy skin flaps, to positively influence reconstructed breast aesthetics at the time of flap inset.

Our study investigates the adhesion of skin cells to specific lectins, particularly focusing on advancements in lectin-based biosensors with diagnostic potential. We explore whether we can successfully capture normal skin (melanocytes and keratinocytes) and melanoma (WM35, WM115, WM266-4) cells in a low-shear flow environment by coating surfaces with lectins. Specifically, we coated surfaces with Dolichos biflorus (DBA) and Maackia Amurensis (MAL) lectins, which were used to detect and capture specific skin cells from the flow of cell mixture. Alterations in glycan expression (confirmed by fluorescent microscopy) demonstrated that DBA binds predominantly to normal skin cells, while MAL interacts strongly with melanoma cells. Assessing adhesion under static and dynamic low-shear stress conditions (up to 30 mPa) underscores the reliability of DBA and MAL as markers for discriminating specific cell type. Melanocytes and keratinocytes adhere to DBA-coated surfaces, while melanoma cells prefer MAL-coated surfaces. A comprehensive analysis encompassing cell shape, cytoskeleton, and focal adhesions shows the independence of our approach from the inherent characteristics of cells, thus demonstrating its robustness. Our results carry practical implications for lectin-biosensor designs, emphasizing the significance of glycan-based discrimination of pathologically altered cells. Combined with microfluidics, it demonstrates the value of cell adhesion as a discriminant of cancer-related changes, with potential applications spanning diagnostics, therapeutic interventions, and advanced biomedical technologies."
+5462,skin cancer,38703420,DCDLN: A densely connected convolutional dynamic learning network for malaria disease diagnosis.,"Malaria is a significant health concern worldwide, particularly in Africa where its prevalence is still alarmingly high. Using artificial intelligence algorithms to diagnose cells with malaria provides great convenience for clinicians. In this paper, a densely connected convolutional dynamic learning network (DCDLN) is proposed for the diagnosis of malaria disease. Specifically, after data processing and partitioning of the dataset, the densely connected block is trained as a feature extractor. To classify the features extracted by the feature extractor, a classifier based on a dynamic learning network is proposed in this paper. Based on experimental results, the proposed DCDLN method demonstrates a diagnostic accuracy rate of 97.23%, surpassing the diagnostic performance than existing advanced methods on an open malaria cell dataset. This accurate diagnostic effect provides convincing evidence for clinicians to make a correct diagnosis. In addition, to validate the superiority and generalization capability of the DCDLN algorithm, we also applied the algorithm to the skin cancer and garbage classification datasets. DCDLN achieved good results on these datasets as well, demonstrating that the DCDLN algorithm possesses superiority and strong generalization performance."
+5463,skin cancer,38703415,Unravelling drivers of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.,"Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is an umbrella term for a group of rare inherited skin disorders characterised by mucocutaneous fragility. Patients suffer from blisters and chronic wounds that arise spontaneously or following minor mechanical trauma, often resulting in inflammation, scarring and fibrosis due to poor healing. The recessive form of dystrophic EB (RDEB) has a particularly severe phenotype and is caused by mutations in the COL7A1 gene, encoding the collagen VII protein, which is responsible for adhering the epidermis and dermis together. One of the most feared and devastating complications of RDEB is the development of an aggressive form of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), which is the main cause of mortality in this patient group. However, pathological drivers behind the development and progression of RDEB-associated cSCC (RDEB-cSCC) remain somewhat of an enigma, and the evidence to date points towards a complex process. Currently, there is no cure for RDEB-cSCC, and treatments primarily focus on prevention, symptom management and support. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive understanding of this cancer's pathogenesis, with the aim of facilitating the discovery of drug targets. This review explores the current knowledge of RDEB-cSCC, emphasising the important role of the immune system, genetics, fibrosis, and the tumour-promoting microenvironment, all ultimately intricately interconnected."

After ruling out other tumor entities by immunohistochemistry, PDS can be differentiated from AFX by infiltration into the subcutis, while AFX remains confined to the dermis. The therapeutic approach is more aggressive in PDS as it can potentially metastasize. We assessed the usefulness of preoperative sonography in differentiating between the two tumor entities by identifying a potential subcutaneous infiltration. In our patients (n = 13), preoperative sonography identified and differentiated AFX and PDS with 100% accuracy and even changed the initial histological suspicion of AFX to PDS in 3 cases (23%), which was confirmed after tumor resection. Preoperative sonography of these tumors could strengthen the clinical diagnosis, avoid a delay in therapy initiation and improve patient counseling. While for AFX, micrographic-controlled surgery suffices, for PDS, resection with 2 cm safety margins and lymph node sonography to rule out lymphonodal involvement is necessary. Hence, ultrasonography can improve clinical practice by providing helpful information for dermatosurgeons, which cannot be obtained during clinical examination."

Fish skin mucus is an important component of defence against invasive infections. Recently, Fish skin and its mucus are gaining interest among immunologists. Characterization was done on the obtained silver nanoparticles Ag combined with Clarias gariepinus catfish epidermal mucus proteins (EMP-Ag-NPs) through UV-vis, FTIR, XRD, TEM, and SEM. Ag-NPs ranged in size from 4 to 20 nm, spherical in form and the angles were 38.10°, 44.20°, 64.40°, and 77.20°, Where wavelength change after formation of EMP-Ag-NPs as indicate of dark brown, the broad band recorded at wavelength at 391 nm. Additionally, the antimicrobial, antibiofilm and anticancer activities of EMP-Ag-NPs was assessed. The present results demonstrate high activity against unicellular fungi C. albicans, followed by E. faecalis. Antibiofilm results showed strong activity against both S. aureus and P. aeruginosa pathogens in a dose-dependent manner, without affecting planktonic cell growth. Also, cytotoxicity effect was investigated against normal cells (Vero), breast cancer cells (Mcf7) and hepatic carcinoma (HepG2) cell lines at concentrations (200-6.25 µg/mL) and current results showed highly anticancer effect of Ag-NPs at concentrations 100, 5 and 25 µg/mL exhibited rounding, shrinkage, deformation and granulation of Mcf7 and HepG2 with IC50 19.34 and 31.16 µg/mL respectively while Vero cells appeared rounded at concentration 50 µg/mL and normal shape at concentration 25, 12.5 and 6.25 µg/ml with IC50 35.85 µg/mL.

Even though these primary tumors are successfully treated in 90% of cases, almost 50% of patients ultimately develop metastasis, mainly in the liver, via hematological dissemination, with a median survival spanning from 6 to 12 months after diagnosis. In this context, chemotherapy regimens and molecular targeted therapies have demonstrated poor response rates and failed to improve survival. Among the multiple reasons for therapy failure, the presence of cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) represents the main cause of resistance to anticancer therapies. In the last few years, the existence of CSCs in UM has been demonstrated both in preclinical and clinical studies, and new molecular pathways and mechanisms have been described for this subpopulation of UM cells.

+5477,skin cancer,38701866,ALDH1A1 confers resistance to RAF/MEK inhibitors in melanoma cells by maintaining stemness phenotype and activating PI3K/AKT signaling.,"The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK/ERK) pathway is pivotal in controlling the proliferation and survival of melanoma cells. Several mutations, including those in BRAF, exhibit an oncogenic effect leading to increased cellular proliferation. As a result, the combination therapy of a MEK inhibitor with a BRAF inhibitor demonstrated higher efficacy and lower toxicity than BRAF inhibitor alone. This combination has become the preferred standard of care for tumors driven by BRAF mutations. Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a known marker of stemness involved in drug resistance in several type of tumors, including melanoma. This study demonstrates that melanoma cells overexpressing ALDH1A1 displayed resistance to vemurafenib and trametinib through the activation of PI3K/AKT signaling instead of MAPK axis. Inhibition of PI3K/AKT signaling partially rescued sensitivity to the drugs. Consistently, pharmacological inhibition of ALDH1A1 activity downregulated the activation of AKT and partially recovered responsiveness to vemurafenib and trametinib. We propose ALDH1A1 as a new potential target for treating melanoma resistant to MAPK/ERK inhibitors."

+5480,skin cancer,38701785,The epidermal circadian clock integrates and subverts brain signals to guarantee skin homeostasis.,"In mammals, the circadian clock network drives daily rhythms of tissue-specific homeostasis. To dissect daily inter-tissue communication, we constructed a mouse minimal clock network comprising only two nodes: the peripheral epidermal clock and the central brain clock. By transcriptomic and functional characterization of this isolated connection, we identified a gatekeeping function of the peripheral tissue clock with respect to systemic inputs. The epidermal clock concurrently integrates and subverts brain signals to ensure timely execution of epidermal daily physiology. Timely cell-cycle termination in the epidermal stem cell compartment depends upon incorporation of clock-driven signals originating from the brain. In contrast, the epidermal clock corrects or outcompetes potentially disruptive feeding-related signals to ensure the optimal timing of DNA replication. Together, we present an approach for cataloging the systemic dependencies of daily temporal organization in a tissue and identify an essential gate-keeping function of peripheral circadian clocks that guarantees tissue homeostasis."

Counts of B cells, monocytes, and DCs were low in the patients' blood, whereas the other blood subsets, including NK cells, were affected only moderately, if at all. The patients had normal counts of Langerhans cells (LCs) and dermal macrophages in the skin but lacked dermal DCs. Thus, FLT3L is required for B cell and DC development in mice and humans. However, unlike its murine counterpart, human FLT3L is required for the development of monocytes but not NK cells."

To address this issue, polysaccharide-loaded nanofibrous mats have been engineered as skin patches on the wound site to improve wound healing while simultaneously eliminating residual cancer cells which may cause cancer relapse. The marine derived polysaccharides kappa-carrageenan (KCG) and fucoidan (FUC) were blended with polydioxanone (PDX) nanofibers due to their inherent anti-cancer activity conferred by the sulphate groups as well as their immunomodulatory properties which can reduce inflammation resulting in accelerated wound healing. KCG and FUC were released sustainably from the blend nanofibers via the Korsmeyer-Peppas kinetics. MTT assays, live/dead staining and SEM images demonstrated the toxicity of KCG and FUC towards skin cancer MP 41 cells. In addition, MP 41 cells showed reduced metastatic potential when grown on KCG or FUC containing mats. Both KCG and FUC were non- cytotoxic to healthy L 929 fibroblast cells. In vivo studies on healthy Wistar rats confirmed the non-toxicity of the nanofibrous patches as well as their improved and scarless wound healing potential. In vivo studies on tumour xenograft model further showed a reduction of 7.15 % in tumour volume in only 4 days following application of the transdermal patch."

However, causal associations between lipid-lowering drugs and the risk of cancers are still unclear. In our study, we utilized single nucleotide polymorphisms of proprotein convertase subtilis kexin 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-assisted enzyme A reductase (HMGCR) inhibitors and performed a drug target Mendelian randomization to explore the causal association between lipid-lowering drugs and the risk of cancers. Five regression methods were carried out, including inverse variance weighted (IVW) method, MR Egger, weighted median, simple mode and weighted mode methods, of which IVW method was considered as the main analysis. Our outcome dataset contained the risk of breast cancer (BC), colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, gastric cancer (GC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), lung cancer, esophageal cancer, prostate cancer (PC), and skin cancer (SC). Our results demonstrated that PCSK9 inhibitors were significant associated with a decreased effect of GC [IVW: OR = 0.482, 95% CI: 0.264-0.879, P = .017]. Besides, genetic inhibitions of HMGCR were significant correlated with an increased effect of BC [IVW: OR = 1.421, 95% CI: 1.056-1.911, P = .020], PC [IVW: OR = 1.617, 95% CI: 1.234-2.120, P = .0005] and SC [IVW: OR = 1.266, 95% CI: 1.022-1.569, P = .031]. For GC [IVW: OR = 0.559, 95% CI: 0.382-0.820, P = .0029] and HCC [IVW: OR = 0.241, 95% CI: 0.085-0.686, P = .0077], HMGCR inhibitors had a protective risk. Our method suggested that PCSK9 inhibitors were significant associated with a protective effect of GC. Genetic inhibitions of HMGCR were significant correlated with an increased effect of BC, PC and SC. Meanwhile, HMGCR inhibitors had a protective risk of GC and HCC. Subsequent studies still needed to assess potential effects between lipid-lowering drugs and the risk of cancers with clinical trials."
+5486,skin cancer,38701275,Association between air pollution and skin cutaneous melanoma: A Mendelian randomization study.,"There has been a consistent and notable increase in the global prevalence of skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM). Although genetic factors are closely associated with the occurrence and development of melanoma, the potential influence of environmental factors cannot be overlooked. The existing literature lacks a definitive consensus on the correlation between air pollution and the incidence rate of SKCM. This study seeks to investigate the causal relationship between air pollution, specifically focusing on particulate matter (PM) 2.5, PM2.5-10, PM10, and nitrogen oxides, and the risk of SKCM. A 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method was applied, utilizing extensive publicly accessible genome-wide association studies summary datasets within European populations. The primary analytical method employed was the inverse variance weighted method. Supplementary methods, including the weighted median model, MR-Egger, simple model, and weighted model, were chosen to ensure robust analysis. Heterogeneity assessment was conducted using Cochran's Q test. To identify potential pleiotropy, both MR-Egger regression and the MR-PRESSO global test were employed. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis was performed using the leave-one-out method. The analysis revealed no statistically significant association between air pollution and SKCM risk, with specific findings as follows: PM2.5 (P = .485), PM2.5-10 (P = .535), PM10 (P = .136), and nitrogen oxides (P = .745). While some results exhibited heterogeneity, all findings demonstrated an absence of pleiotropy. This study did not find substantive evidence supporting a causal relationship between air pollution and the risk of SKCM within European populations. The comprehensive MR analysis, encompassing various pollutants, suggests that environmental factors such as air pollution may not be significant contributors to the development of SKCM."
+5487,skin cancer,38701273,Decoding the molecular landscape: A novel prognostic signature for uveal melanoma unveiled through programmed cell death-associated genes.,"Uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare but aggressive malignant ocular tumor with a high metastatic potential and limited therapeutic options, currently lacking accurate prognostic predictors and effective individualized treatment strategies. Public databases were utilized to analyze the prognostic relevance of programmed cell death-related genes (PCDRGs) in UM transcriptomes and survival data. Consensus clustering and Lasso Cox regression analysis were performed for molecular subtyping and risk feature construction. The PCDRG-derived index (PCDI) was evaluated for its association with clinicopathological features, gene expression, drug sensitivity, and immune infiltration. A total of 369 prognostic PCDRGs were identified, which could cluster UM into 2 molecular subtypes with significant differences in prognosis and clinicopathological characteristics. Furthermore, a risk feature PCDI composed of 11 PCDRGs was constructed, capable of indicating prognosis in UM patients. Additionally, PCDI exhibited correlations with the sensitivity to 25 drugs and the infiltration of various immune cells. Enrichment analysis revealed that PCDI was associated with immune regulation-related biological processes and pathways. Finally, a nomogram for prognostic assessment of UM patients was developed based on PCDI and gender, demonstrating excellent performance. This study elucidated the potential value of PCDRGs in prognostic assessment for UM and developed a corresponding risk feature. However, further basic and clinical studies are warranted to validate the functions and mechanisms of PCDRGs in UM."

Among these approaches, germicidal lamps utilizing ultraviolet (UV) rays, particularly UV-C (wavelength ranging from 280 to 100 nm), have gained prominence for domestic use. These light-emitting diode (LED) lamps are designed to sanitize the air, objects, and surfaces. However, the prevailing concern is that these UV lamps are often introduced into the market without adequate accompanying information to ensure their safe utilization. Importantly, exposure to absorbed UV light can potentially trigger adverse biological responses, encompassing cell death and senescence. Our research encompassed a series of investigations aimed at comprehending the biological repercussions of UV-C radiation exposure from readily available domestic lamps. Our focus centered on epithelial retinal cells, keratinocytes, and fibroblasts, components of the skin and ocular targets frequently exposed to UV irradiation. Our findings underscore the potential harm associated with even brief exposure to UV, leading to irreversible and detrimental alterations in both skin cells and retinal cells of the eye. Notably, epithelial retinal cells exhibited heightened sensitivity, marked by substantial apoptosis. In contrast, keratinocytes demonstrated resilience to apoptosis even at elevated UV doses, though they were prone to senescence. Meanwhile, fibroblasts displayed a gradual amplification of both senescence and apoptosis as radiation doses escalated. In summary, despite the potential benefits offered by UV-C in deactivating pathogens like SARS-CoV-2, it remains evident that the concurrent risks posed by UV-C to human health cannot be ignored."

Most previous case reports are from dermatologists, with few published reports from pathologists. In this study, three patients underwent pathological routine and auxiliary immunohistochemical (IHC) examination and were ultimately diagnosed with pagetoid SCC in situ - a different diagnosis from the initial clinical assessment. All three patients received a complete resection of the skin mass. After follow-up, as of June 2023, the patients had no tumour recurrence or metastasis. Pagetoid SCC in situ is a particular type of SCC in situ that has no specific features in clinical manifestations, gross diagnosis or histopathological sections. The final diagnosis depends on IHC staining. Pagetoid SCC in situ expresses EMA, CK5/6 and p63 but not CEA, CK8 or S-100, which are expressed in extramammary Paget's disease. Pagetoid SCC in situ is usually only locally invasive, and the main treatment is complete surgical resection.

+5496,skin cancer,38699337,Voriconazole Metabolism is Associated with the Number of Skin Cancers Per Patient.,"Voriconazole exposure is associated with skin cancer, but it is unknown how the full spectrum of its metabolizer phenotypes impacts this association. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to determine how variation in metabolism of voriconazole as measured by metabolizer status of CYP2C19 is associated with the total number of skin cancers a patient develops and the rate of development of the first skin cancer after treatment. There were 1,739 organ transplant recipients with data on CYP2C19 phenotype. Of these, 134 were exposed to voriconazole. There was a significant difference in the number of skin cancers after transplant based on exposure to voriconazole, metabolizer phenotype, and the interaction of these two (p < 0.01 for all three). This increase was driven primarily by number of squamous cell carcinomas among rapid metabolizes with voriconazole exposure (p < 0.01 for both). Patients exposed to voriconazole developed skin cancers more rapidly than those without exposure (Fine-Grey hazard ratio 1.78, 95% confidence interval 1.19-2.66). This association was similarly driven by development of SCC (Fine-Grey hazard ratio 1.83, 95% confidence interval 1.14-2.94). Differences in voriconazoles metabolism are associated with an increase in the number of skin cancers developed after transplant, particularly SCC."
+5497,skin cancer,38698969,Lipid-based nanoparticles as a promising treatment for the skin cancer.,"The prevalence of skin disorders, especially cancer, is increasing worldwide. Several factors are involved in causing skin cancer, but ultraviolet (UV) light, including sunlight and tanning beds, are considered the leading cause. Different methods such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, cryotherapy, and photodynamic therapy are mostly used for the skin cancer treatment. However, drug resistance and toxicity against cancer cells are related to these treatments. Lipid-nanoparticles have attracted significant interest as delivery systems due to non-invasive and targeted delivery based on the type of active drug. However, the stratum corneum, the outer layer of the skin, is inherently impervious to drugs. Due to their ability to penetrate the deep layers of the skin, skin delivery systems are capable of delivering drugs to target cells in a protected manner.

Investigational research efforts have included the administration of tumor-derived extracts to healthy animals. Having previously demonstrated that the administration of non-transmissible, human cancer-derived homogenates induced malignant tumors in mice, here, we examined the consequences of administering 50 or 100 µg of protein of crude homogenates from mammary carcinoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and melanoma samples in 6 inoculations per week during 2 months. The concurrent control mice received homogenates of healthy donor-skin cosmetic surgery fragments. Mammary carcinoma homogenate administration did not provoke the deterioration or mortality of the animals. Multiple foci of lung adenocarcinomas with a broad expression of malignity histomarkers coexisting with small cell-like carcinomas were found. Disseminated cells, positive to classic epithelial markers, were detected in lymphoid nodes. The administration of pancreatic tumor and melanoma homogenates progressively deteriorated animal health. Pancreatic tumor induced poorly differentiated lung adenocarcinomas and pancreatic islet hyperplasia. Melanoma affected lungs with solid pseudopapillary adenocarcinomas. Giant atypical hepatocytes were also observed. The kidney exhibited dispersed foci of neoplastic cells within a desmoplastic matrix.

Glomus cells are modified smooth muscle cells normally present in glomus-like bodies but can also be found in glomus tumors (GT) or lesions considered in the spectrum of GT, including myopericytoma, myofibroma, and angiolipoma. Neurofibromas are peripheral nerve sheath tumors derived from the neural crest cells. While both GT and its variants and neurofibroma are thought to be derived from different cell types, there is growing evidence that glomus cells have a neural crest origin. This is based on multiple theories, with some overlapping pathways, including neural crest cell differentiation, Schwann cell reprogramming, VEGF expression, and NF1 gene biallelic inactivation. This report adds to the growing evidence of possible neural crest origin for glomus cells and would help explain finding glomus-like bodies scattered through a neurofibroma."

This paper explores the potential of three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting in MMS, offering superior outcomes compared to traditional methods. 3D printing technologies show promise in advancing skin regeneration and refining surgical techniques in dermatologic surgery. A PubMed search was conducted using the following keywords: ""Three-dimensional bioprinting"" OR ""3-D printing"" AND ""Mohs"" OR ""Mohs surgery"" OR ""Surgery."" Peer-reviewed English articles discussing medical applications of 3D bioprinting were included, while non-peer-reviewed and non-English articles were excluded. Patients using 3D MMS models had lower anxiety scores (3.00 to 1.7, p < 0.0001) and higher knowledge assessment scores (5.59 or 93.25% correct responses), indicating better understanding of their procedure. Surgical residents using 3D models demonstrated improved proficiency in flap reconstructions (p = 0.002) and knowledge assessment (p = 0.001). Additionally, 3D printing offers personalized patient care through tailored surgical guides and anatomical models, reducing intraoperative time while enhancing surgical. Concurrently, efforts in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are being explored as potential alternatives to address organ donor shortages, eliminating autografting needs. However, challenges like limited training and technological constraints persist. Integrating optical coherence tomography with 3D bioprinting may expedite grafting, but challenges remain in pre-printing grafts for complex cases. Regulatory and ethical considerations are paramount for patient safety, and further research is needed to understand long-term effects and cost-effectiveness. While promising, significant advancements are necessary for full utilization in MMS."

This modified nanocomplex was utilized as a carrier for the lipophilic compound curcumin (Cur). Characterization techniques including TGA, TEM, and UV-visible spectrophotometry were used to analyze the nanocomplex. The mechanism of cancer cell death induced by MWCNT-PCA-FA was studied extensively using the MTT assay, colony formation analysis, cell cycle assessment via flow cytometry, and apoptosis studies. Furthermore, we assessed the antitumor efficacy of these targeted nanocomplexes following exposure to laser radiation. The results showed that the nanocomposites and free Cur had significant toxicity on melanoma cancer cells (B16F10 cells) while having minimal impact on normal cells (NHDF cells). This selectivity for cancerous cells demonstrates the potential of these compounds as therapeutic agents. Furthermore, MWCNT-PCA-FA/Cur showed superior cytotoxicity compared to free Cur alone. Colony formation studies confirmed these results. The researchers found that MWCNT-FA-PCA/Cur effectively induced programmed cell death. In photothermal analysis, MWCNT-PCA-FA/Cur combined with laser treatment achieved the highest mortality rate. These promising results suggest that this multifunctional therapeutic nanoplatform holds the potential for combination cancer therapies that utilize various established therapeutic methods."
+5505,skin cancer,38697991,Response of treatment-naive brain metastases to stereotactic radiosurgery.,"With improvements in survival for patients with metastatic cancer, long-term local control of brain metastases has become an increasingly important clinical priority. While consensus guidelines recommend surgery followed by stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for lesions >3 cm, smaller lesions (≤3 cm) treated with SRS alone elicit variable responses. To determine factors influencing this variable response to SRS, we analyzed outcomes of brain metastases ≤3 cm diameter in patients with no prior systemic therapy treated with frame-based single-fraction SRS. Following SRS, 259 out of 1733 (15%) treated lesions demonstrated MRI findings concerning for local treatment failure (LTF), of which 202 /1733 (12%) demonstrated LTF and 54/1733 (3%) had an adverse radiation effect. Multivariate analysis demonstrated tumor size (>1.5 cm) and melanoma histology were associated with higher LTF rates. Our results demonstrate that brain metastases ≤3 cm are not uniformly responsive to SRS and suggest that prospective studies to evaluate the effect of SRS alone or in combination with surgery on brain metastases ≤3 cm matched by tumor size and histology are warranted. These studies will help establish multi-disciplinary treatment guidelines that improve local control while minimizing radiation necrosis during treatment of brain metastasis ≤3 cm."

Most of the cases are from Jamaica and Brazil and occur in individuals with low socioeconomic status. IDH is always associated with refractory Staphylococcus aureus or beta-hemolytic Streptococcus infection of the skin and nasal vestibules. Patients with IDH may develop other even more severe HTLV-1-associated diseases, such as HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) of early or late appearance and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma. In the context of the Brazilian experience, it has been observed that 54% of IDH patients exhibit the juvenile form of HAM/TSP while the estimated incidence of adult HAM/TSP is 3%. As there are no curative treatments for HTLV-1 infection (or vaccines) or most of its associated diseases, prevention of infection is fundamental, mainly by vertical transmission, as it is responsible for the development of IDH, infantojuvenile HAM/TSP, and ATL.

One of the less common tumors is Merkel cell carcinoma, which also occurs primarily in light-exposed areas and, in contrast to squamous and basal cell carcinoma, is more likely to metastasize. Due to the low tendency of basal cell carcinoma as well as cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma to metastasize, a cure can often be achieved by surgery. If the tumor growth exceeds certain levels it may require collaboration between dermatology and otorhinolaryngology. The primary goal of this interdisciplinary collaboration is to achieve a functional, cosmetically and aesthetically acceptable result in addition to adequate tumor treatment.

However, these invasive collection methods require specific instruments, professionals, and may lead to infection risks. Additionally, the diagnosis process suffers from untimely results. The identification of skin-related biomarkers plays an unprecedented role in early disease diagnosis. More importantly, these skin-mediated approaches for collecting biomarker-containing biofluid samples are noninvasive or minimally invasive, which is more preferable for point-of-care testing (POCT). Therefore, skin-based biomarker detection patches have been promoted, owing to their unique advantages, such as simple fabrication, desirable transdermal properties and no requirements for professional medical staff. Currently, the skin biomarkers extracted from sweat, interstitial fluid (ISF) and wound exudate, are achieved with wearable sweat patches, transdermal MN patches, and wound patches, respectively. In this review, we detail these three types of skin patches in biofluids collection and diseases-related biomarkers identification.

The Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) serum antibody test (AMERK) has shown potential for indicating better recurrence-free survival in a single-institution study. The study aimed to evaluate the link between initial AMERK serostatus and survival. Secondary objectives included examining the relationship between initial AMERK titer levels and tumor burden.
+5523,skin cancer,38696034,Risk Stratification of Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis for Treatment with Tofacitinib: A Review of Current Clinical Data.,"In this commentary, we review clinical data which helps inform individualized benefit-risk assessment for tofacitinib in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). ORAL Surveillance, a safety trial of patients ≥ 50 years of age with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and cardiovascular risk factors, found increased rates of safety outcomes (including major adverse cardiovascular events [MACE], malignancies excluding non-melanoma skin cancer, and venous thromboembolism) with tofacitinib versus tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi). Post hoc analyses of ORAL Surveillance have identified subpopulations with different relative risk versus TNFi; higher risk with tofacitinib was confined to patients ≥ 65 years of age and/or long-time current/past smokers, and specifically for MACE, patients with a history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). In patients without these risk factors, risk differences between tofacitinib and TNFi could not be detected. Given differences in demographics, pathophysiology, and comorbidities, we sought to examine whether the risk stratification observed in RA is also appropriate for PsA and AS. Data from the PsA tofacitinib development program show low absolute risk of safety outcomes in patients < 65 years of age and never smokers, and low MACE risk in patients with no history of ASCVD, consistent with results from ORAL Surveillance. No MACE, malignancies, or venous thromboembolism were reported in the tofacitinib AS development program. The mechanism of the ORAL Surveillance safety findings is unknown, and there are no similar prospective studies of sufficient size and duration. Accordingly, it is appropriate to use a precautionary approach and extrapolate differentiating risk factors identified from ORAL Surveillance (age ≥ 65 years, long-time current/past smoking, and history of ASCVD) to PsA and AS. We recommend an individualized approach to treatment decisions based on these readily identifiable risk factors, in line with updated labeling for Janus kinase inhibitors and international guidelines for the treatment of PsA and AS.Trial Registration: NCT02092467, NCT01262118, NCT01484561, NCT00147498, NCT00413660, NCT00550446, NCT00603512, NCT00687193, NCT01164579, NCT00976599, NCT01059864, NCT01359150, NCT02147587, NCT00960440, NCT00847613, NCT00814307, NCT00856544, NCT00853385, NCT01039688, NCT02281552, NCT02187055, NCT02831855, NCT00413699, NCT00661661, NCT01877668, NCT01882439, NCT01976364, NCT00678210, NCT01710046, NCT01241591, NCT01186744, NCT01276639, NCT01309737, NCT01163253, NCT01786668, NCT03502616."
+5524,skin cancer,38696032,From diagnosis to intervention: a review of telemedicine's role in skin cancer care.,"Skin cancer treatment is a core aspect of dermatology that relies on accurate diagnosis and timely interventions. Teledermatology has emerged as a valuable asset across various stages of skin cancer care including triage, diagnosis, management, and surgical consultation. With the integration of traditional dermoscopy and store-and-forward technology, teledermatology facilitates the swift sharing of high-resolution images of suspicious skin lesions with consulting dermatologists all-over. Both live video conference and store-and-forward formats have played a pivotal role in bridging the care access gap between geographically isolated patients and dermatology providers. Notably, teledermatology demonstrates diagnostic accuracy rates that are often comparable to those achieved through traditional face-to-face consultations, underscoring its robust clinical utility. Technological advancements like artificial intelligence and reflectance confocal microscopy continue to enhance image quality and hold potential for increasing the diagnostic accuracy of virtual dermatologic care. While teledermatology serves as a valuable clinical tool for all patient populations including pediatric patients, it is not intended to fully replace in-person procedures like Mohs surgery and other necessary interventions. Nevertheless, its role in facilitating the evaluation of skin malignancies is gaining recognition within the dermatologic community and fostering high approval rates from patients due to its practicality and ability to provide timely access to specialized care."

In this study, the inorganic profile of 14 elements (Al, As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Se, Sb, Pb, and Zn) in 63 toy makeup products was identified by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry after microwave acid digestion method. Additionally, organic allergen fragrance was investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The systemic exposure dosage (SED), margin of safety (MoS), lifetime cancer risk (LCR), hazard quotient (HQ), and hazard indices were used to assess the safety evaluation. Then, 57 out of 63 samples (90.48%) exceeded the limits at least for one toxic element with descending order Ni > Cr > Co > Pb > Sb > Cd > As > Hg. The SED values were compared with tolerable daily intake values and remarkably differences were found for Al and Pb. The MoS values for 57.15% of samples exceeded the limit value for Al, As, Cd, Co, Hg, Mn, Sb, and Zn elements. The LCR values were observed at 100% (n = 63), 79.37% (n = 50), 85.71% (n = 54), 77.78% (n = 49), and 18.87% (n = 10) for Cr, Ni, As, Pb, and Cd, respectively. Also, the skin sensitization risks were obtained for Cr and Ni at 26.980% (n = 17) and 9.52% (n = 6), respectively. The HQ values for 80% of samples were found to be ≥ 1 at least for one parameter. The investigation of fragrance allergens in samples did not show any significant ingredients. As a result, toy makeup products marketed in local stores were found to be predominantly unsafe. Children should be protected from harmful chemicals by regular monitoring and strict measures."

+5531,skin cancer,38695641,Blocking the ATR-SerRS-VEGFA pathway targets angiogenesis for UV-induced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.,"Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most prevalent form of skin cancer, with an escalating incidence rate and a notable potential (up to 5%) for metastasis. Ultraviolet radiation (UVA and UVB) exposure is the primary risk factor for cSCC carcinogenesis, with literature suggesting ultraviolet radiation (UVR) promotes vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) expression. This study aims to investigate UVR-induced upregulation of VEGFA and explore combination therapeutic strategies. The skin squamous cell carcinoma cell line A431 was exposed to specific durations of ultraviolet radiation. The effect of emodin on ATR/SerRS/VEGFA pathway was observed. The cell masses were also transplanted subcutaneously into mice (n = 8). ATR inhibitor combined with emodin was used to observe the growth and angiogenesis of the xenografts. The results showed that UV treatment significantly enhanced the phosphorylation of SerRS and the expression level of VEGFA in A431 cells (p < 0.05). Treatment with emodin significantly inhibited this expression (p < 0.05), and the combination of emodin and ATR inhibitor further enhanced the inhibitory effect (p < 0.05). This phenomenon was further confirmed in the xenograft model, which showed that the combination of ATR inhibitor and emodin significantly inhibited the expression of VEGFA to inhibit angiogenesis (p < 0.05), thus showing an inhibitory effect on cSCC. This study innovatively reveals the molecular mechanism of UV-induced angiogenesis in cSCC and confirms SerRS as a novel target to inhibit cSCC angiogenesis and progression in vitro and in vivo studies."
+5532,skin cancer,38695555,Comparative Epigenetic Profiling Reveals Distinct Features of Mucosal Melanomas Associated with Immune Cell Infiltration and Their Clinical Implications.,"Mucosal melanoma exhibits limited responsiveness to anti-PD-1 therapy. However, a subgroup of mucosal melanomas, particularly those situated at specific anatomic sites like primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus (PMME), display remarkable sensitivity to anti-PD-1 treatment. The underlying mechanisms driving this superior response and the DNA methylation patterns in mucosal melanoma have not been thoroughly investigated. We collected tumor samples from 50 patients with mucosal melanoma, including 31 PMME and 19 non-esophageal mucosal melanoma (NEMM). Targeted bisulfite sequencing was conducted to characterize the DNA methylation landscape of mucosal melanoma and explore the epigenetic profiling differences between PMME and NEMM. Bulk RNA sequencing and multiplex immunofluorescence staining were performed to confirm the impact of methylation on gene expression and immune microenvironment. Our analysis revealed distinct epigenetic signatures that distinguish mucosal melanomas of different origins. Notably, PMME exhibited distinct epigenetic profiling characterized by a global hypermethylation alteration compared with NEMM. The prognostic model based on the methylation scores of a 7-DMR panel could effectively predict the overall survival of patients with PMME and potentially serve as a prognostic factor. PMME displayed a substantial enrichment of immune-activating cells in contrast to NEMM. Furthermore, we observed hypermethylation of the TERT promoter in PMME, which correlated with heightened CD8+ T-cell infiltration, and patients with hypermethylated TERT were likely to have improved responses to immunotherapy. Our results indicated that PMME shows a distinct methylation landscape compared with NEMM, and the epigenetic status of TERT might be used to estimate prognosis and direct anti-PD-1 treatment for mucosal melanoma."
+5533,skin cancer,38695362,Fibroadenoma of the vulva with pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia: A common neoplasm in uncommon site.,"Mammary-type tissue in the vulva was first described in 1872 but has been rarely reported in the literature. This tissue was previously considered as ectopic breast tissue that occurs as a result of incomplete regression of the milk line. Similar to native breast tissue, ectopic mammary tissue is hormone-sensitive and can develop benign changes, such as fibroadenoma, as well as malignant changes. A more recent theory suggests that these benign and malignant mammary-type entities arise from mammary-like anogenital glands, which constitute normal vulvar components. We report a case of a 41-year-old woman who presented with a chronic asymptomatic cyst on the left vulva that eventually became uncomfortable, especially on standing. The cyst was located on the labium minus, measuring 1.0 × 0.5 cm, with no identified erythema or other skin abnormalities. Excision of the lesion and subsequent microscopic examination showed a circumscribed mass with a nodular overgrowth of epithelial and stromal components, resembling a mammary fibroadenoma with pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia. We bring to attention this rare diagnosis and the importance of considering it in the presence of a vulvar lesion. The malignant and recurrence potential of mammary-type tissue necessitates excision with clear margins and close monitoring of these patients."

The authors conducted a review to characterize SGBCC, specifically with regards to age, sex predilection, risk factors, geographical location, body site, metastasis, and treatment. A systematic literature search was conducted from 1972 to 2023. All abstracts, studies, and citations were reviewed. The initial result showed 47 281 articles and were filtered down for human, skin, English language, and SGBCC. The authors identified 20 case reports for our analysis. The sample size was too small to conduct extensive statistical analysis. Majority of the cases were reported in North America and Europe. Males outnumbered almost females 2:1. The mean age was 61 years. The lesion was located on trunk in 16 out of 20 cases. In 13 out of 20 years, the lesion had been present for more than 10 years and 7 out of 20 cases reported metastasis. Several reports documented low socioeconomic status and poor mental health. Regarding treatment, 11 patients underwent surgery, radiation was utilized in 6 patients and immunotherapy (Vismodegib) in 4 patients. Although basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is known to have a favorable prognosis, SGBCC is highly aggressive with ability to metastasize. Our review reveals SGBCC is commonly diagnosed in males in their sixth decade, present for more than 10 years duration, risk factors include low socioeconomic status and poor mental health, commonly found on the trunk with a predilection for metastasis. The authors believe self-neglect is the likely etiology of the large size. Treatment options may be multimodal with a combination of surgery, radiation therapy or immunotherapy (Vismodegib)."

In Australia, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulates AI-based SaMD to ensure its safe use. Proper labelling of these devices is crucial to ensure that healthcare professionals and the general public understand how to use them and interpret results accurately. However, guidelines for labelling AI-based SaMD in dermatology are lacking, which may result in products failing to provide essential information about algorithm development and performance metrics. This review examines existing labelling guidelines for AI-based SaMD across visual medical specialties, with a specific focus on dermatology. Common recommendations for labelling are identified and applied to currently available dermatology AI-based SaMD mobile applications to determine usage of these labels. Of the 21 AI-based SaMD mobile applications identified, none fully comply with common labelling recommendations. Results highlight the need for standardized labelling guidelines. Ensuring transparency and accessibility of information is essential for the safe integration of AI into health care and preventing potential risks associated with inaccurate clinical decisions."

In this regard, the aim of this study was to summarize the current evidence on the different forms of targeted therapy, effectiveness, and drawbacks of this course of treatment. Four databases were searched electronically without regard to publication date or language. Grey literature searches and manual searches were also undertaken. Publications with sufficient clinical data on targeted therapy for odontogenic tumors were required to meet the criteria for eligibility. The analysis of the data was descriptive. A total of 15 papers comprising 17 cases (15 ameloblastomas and 2 ameloblastic carcinomas) were included. Numerous mutations were found, with BRAF V600E being most common. Dabrafenib was the most utilized drug in targeted therapy. Except for one case, the treatment reduced the size of the lesion (16/17 cases), showing promise. Most of the adverse events recorded were mild, such as skin issues, voice changes, abnormal hair texture, dry eyes, and systemic symptoms (e.g., fatigue, joint pain, and nausea). It is possible to reach the conclusion that targeted therapy for ameloblastoma and ameloblastic carcinoma may be a useful treatment strategy, based on the findings of the included studies."

To promote the advancement of academic robotic programs in surgery, this study captures the development trend and research hotspots of clinical trials related to surgical robots by bibliometric analysis. Bibliometrix package in R software was used to analyze the publication year, authors, countries, institutes, and journals. The visualization maps of keywords were formed using VOSviewer. The keywords with the strongest citation bursts and the institutional collaboration map were created by CiteSpace. Urology dominates with 31.3% of publications and the controlled clinical trials in urology and orthopedic accounted for the highest proportion, reaching 73%. North America, the USA, and Seoul National University lead in productivity. The most productive country, region and institution are North America, USA and Seoul National University, respectively. The trend of collaboration is regional instead of international. Keyword and burst keyword analysis revealed a primary focus in clinical research on robotic surgery: evaluating process improvements, comparing robotic and traditional surgery, and assessing feasibility. Long-term clinical trials assess surgical robots not only intraoperative performance but also postoperative complications and overall surgical outcomes. The development in the field is unbalanced between regions and countries. To promote multi-center clinical trials, governments can streamline review procedures and establish international consensus review standards, while academic institutions can form academic alliances. Also, the study offers recommendations for the development of academic robotic programs and regional collaboration units in robotic surgery, which may provide researchers with a strong reference for future research."
+5549,skin cancer,38693123,Primary prophylaxis with mTOR inhibitor enhances T cell effector function and prevents heart transplant rejection during talimogene laherparepvec therapy of squamous cell carcinoma.,"The application of mammalian target of rapamycin inhibition (mTORi) as primary prophylactic therapy to optimize T cell effector function while preserving allograft tolerance remains challenging. Here, we present a comprehensive two-step therapeutic approach in a male patient with metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and heart transplantation followed with concomitant longitudinal analysis of systemic immunologic changes. In the first step, calcineurin inhibitor/ mycophenolic acid is replaced by the mTORi everolimus to achieve an improved effector T cell status with increased cytotoxic activity (perforin, granzyme), enhanced proliferation (Ki67) and upregulated activation markers (CD38, CD69). In the second step, talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) injection further enhances effector function by switching CD4 and CD8 cells from central memory to effector memory profiles, enhancing Th1 responses, and boosting cytotoxic and proliferative activities. In addition, cytokine release (IL-6, IL-18, sCD25, CCL-2, CCL-4) is enhanced and the frequency of circulating regulatory T cells is increased. Notably, no histologic signs of allograft rejection are observed in consecutive end-myocardial biopsies. These findings provide valuable insights into the dynamics of T cell activation and differentiation and suggest that timely initiation of mTORi-based primary prophylaxis may provide a dual benefit of revitalizing T cell function while maintaining allograft tolerance."

Most nonclinical toxicities were antigen-independent, common across ADCs, and included hematologic, lymphoid, and reproductive toxicity related to MMAE pharmacology. Hematologic toxicity was the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) or predominant toxicity for the majority of vedotin ADCs in both species. Tissue expression of the targeted antigen of an ADC rarely correlated with DLT; only two ADCs had antigen-dependent skin DLTs. For two additional ADCs, antigen-dependent delivery of MMAE in the bone marrow may have exacerbated the antigen-independent hematologic DLT. The highest tolerated doses and pharmacokinetics were similar within a given species, with rats tolerating higher doses than monkeys. Studies longer than 1 month in duration detected the same or fewer toxicities than 1-month studies and had no additional findings that affected the human risk assessment. These data support opportunities to streamline ADC toxicity assessments without compromising human starting dose selection or target organ identification."

The effectiveness of inflammatory proteins including C-reactive protein (CRP) in assessing long-term inflammation is hindered by their phasic nature. DNA methylation (DNAm) signatures of CRP may act as more reliable markers of chronic inflammation. We show that inter-individual differences in DNAm capture 50% of the variance in circulating CRP (N = 17,936, Generation Scotland). We develop a series of DNAm predictors of CRP using state-of-the-art algorithms. An elastic-net-regression-based predictor outperformed competing methods and explained 18% of phenotypic variance in the Lothian Birth Cohort of 1936 (LBC1936) cohort, doubling that of existing DNAm predictors. DNAm predictors performed comparably in four additional test cohorts (Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, Health for Life in Singapore, Southall and Brent Revisited, and LBC1921), including for individuals of diverse genetic ancestry and different age groups. The best-performing predictor surpassed assay-measured CRP and a genetic score in its associations with 26 health outcomes.

+5556,skin cancer,38691877,"Skin cancers are the most frequent cancers in fair-skinned populations, but we can prevent them.","Cancers of the skin are the most commonly occurring cancers in humans. In fair-skinned populations, up to 95% of keratinocyte skin cancers and 70-95% of cutaneous melanomas are caused by ultraviolet radiation and are thus theoretically preventable. Currently, however, there is no comprehensive global advice on practical steps to be taken to reduce the toll of skin cancer. To address this gap, an expert working group comprising clinicians and researchers from Africa, America, Asia, Australia, and Europe, together with learned societies (European Association of Dermato-Oncology, Euromelanoma, Euroskin, European Union of Medical Specialists, and the Melanoma World Society) reviewed the extant evidence and issued the following evidence-based recommendations for photoprotection as a strategy to prevent skin cancer. Fair skinned people, especially children, should minimise their exposure to ultraviolet radiation, and are advised to use protective measures when the UV index is forecast to reach 3 or higher. Protective measures include a combination of seeking shade, physical protection (e.g. clothing, hat, sunglasses), and applying broad-spectrum, SPF 30 + sunscreens to uncovered skin. Intentional exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation for the purpose of sunbathing and tanning is considered an unhealthy behaviour and should be avoided. Similarly, use of solaria and other artificial sources of ultraviolet radiation to encourage tanning should be strongly discouraged, through regulation if necessary. Primary prevention of skin cancer has a positive return on investment. We encourage policymakers to communicate these messages to the general public and promote their wider implementation."

+5560,skin cancer,38691269,Efficient skin lesion segmentation with boundary distillation.,"Medical image segmentation models are commonly known for their complex structures, which often render them impractical for use on edge computing devices and compromising efficiency in the segmentation process. In light of this, the industry has proposed the adoption of knowledge distillation techniques. Nevertheless, the vast majority of existing knowledge distillation methods are focused on the classification tasks of skin diseases. Specifically, for the segmentation tasks of dermoscopy lesion images, these knowledge distillation methods fail to fully recognize the importance of features in the boundary regions of lesions within medical images, lacking boundary awareness for skin lesions. This paper introduces pioneering medical image knowledge distillation architecture. The aim of this method is to facilitate the efficient transfer of knowledge from existing complex medical image segmentation networks to a more simplified student network. Initially, a masked boundary feature (MBF) distillation module is designed. By applying random masking to the periphery of skin lesions, the MBF distillation module obliges the student network to reproduce the comprehensive features of the teacher network. This process, in turn, augments the representational capabilities of the student network. Building on the MBF distillation module, this paper employs a cascaded combination approach to integrate the MBF distillation module into a multi-head boundary feature (M"

Among these, immune-related hepatotoxicity (IRH) is an adverse event that can be fatal. While the first-line treatment of IRH is well established, there is still no consensus regarding the management approach for steroid-refractory, severe IRH. Here, we report four patients with metastatic melanoma who developed IRH during antiprogrammed cell death protein-1 plus anticytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein-4 combination therapy and review of the literature. All of our patients were steroid-refractory and were successfully treated with tocilizumab.

Tumor-associated TLS serves as a prominent center of antigen presentation and adaptive immune activation within the periphery, which has exhibited positive prognostic value in various cancers. In recent years, the concept of maturity regarding TLS has been proposed and mature TLS, characterized by well-developed germinal centers, exhibits a more potent tumor-suppressive capacity with stronger significance. Meanwhile, more and more evidence showed that TLS can be induced by therapeutic interventions during cancer treatments. Thus, the evaluation of TLS maturity and the therapeutic interventions that induce its formation are critical issues in current TLS research. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive summary of the existing classifications for TLS maturity and therapeutic strategies capable of inducing its formation in tumors."

Various retentive mechanisms such as application of adhesive, utilization of mechanical undercuts, and implant-supported attachments are generally used in the maxillofacial prosthesis. In the orbital region, the result of magnet-retained attachments is favorable compared with other mechanisms. Different advantages of the magnet-retained prosthesis are less manual dexterity needed during insertion or removal and better maintenance of hygiene. The skin-implant interface and thick tissues in the maxillofacial region are the critically important points that should be given importance during the planning and placement of implants. Ideally, implant sites for orbital prosthesis are the lateral, infra-, and supraorbital rims of the orbital region. The following case series describes two different methods to rehabilitate patients with an exenterated eye due to mucormycosis by individually designed implant with magnetic attachment and mechanical undercut-retained orbital prosthesis."

Hence, we conducted this systematic review to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and oncological outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic colectomy (SILC) with meta-analysis and discussion of the future prospect of SILS. The search was conducted from September to October 2023 using PubMed and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Articles on colorectal cancer comparing SILC with multiport laparoscopic colectomy (MPLC) from all randomized controlled trials and comparative studies with 50 patients or more per arm were examined. The primary outcomes were the intra- and postoperative complication rates, and the secondary outcomes were the perioperative and oncological outcomes. The trends of the SILS number in Japan and the trends of the number of articles on SILS in PubMed were also reviewed. There were no significant differences in perioperative complication rates, operative factors, and oncological outcomes between SILC and MPLC, although heterogeneity was observed mainly in operative factors and the total length of the skin incision was significantly shorter in SILC. Therefore, SILC is technically and oncologically feasible and safe when performed by experienced laparoscopic surgeons. The case number of SILS was gradually increasing but the rate of SILS was decreasing in Japan. The number of articles on SILS was also decreasing. SILS has gained foothold to some extent but has plateaued. The emerging new robotic platform may reappraise the concept of SILS."

Using a mouse model of psoriasis induced by the Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7 ligand imiquimod, we found that psoriatic dermatitis was accompanied by inflammatory changes in the small intestine associated with eosinophil degranulation, which impaired intestinal barrier integrity. Inflammatory responses in the skin and small intestine were increased in mice prone to eosinophil degranulation. Caco-2 human intestinal epithelial cells were treated with media containing eosinophil granule proteins and exhibited signs of inflammation and damage. Imiquimod-induced skin and intestinal changes were attenuated in eosinophil-deficient mice, and this attenuation was counteracted by the transfer of eosinophils. Imiquimod levels and the distribution of eosinophils were positively correlated in the intestine. TLR7-deficient mice did not exhibit intestinal eosinophil degranulation but did exhibit attenuated inflammation in the skin and small intestine following imiquimod administration. These results suggest that TLR7-dependent bidirectional skin-to-gut communication occurs in psoriatic inflammation and that inflammatory changes in the intestine can accelerate psoriasis."

A biopsy of the mass revealed a diagnosis of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. On preoperative examination, the tumor was 90×40 mm in size and was suspected to have partially invaded the levator ani muscle and external sphincter. Since a preoperative cardiac evaluation indicated severe aortic stenosis, we performed transcatheter aortic valve implantation. A radical resection was then performed with general anesthesia. The skin and subcutaneous tissue defects were reconstructed with a posterior gluteal-thigh propeller flap, and a sigmoid colostomy was created.

+5582,skin cancer,38688305,Limb Ischemic Necrosis Secondary to Microvascular Thrombosis: A Brief Historical Review.,"Ischemic limb injury can be broadly classified into arterial (absent pulses) and venous/microvascular (detectable pulses); the latter can be divided into two overlapping disorders-venous limb gangrene (VLG) and symmetrical peripheral gangrene (SPG). Both VLG and SPG feature predominant acral (distal) extremity ischemic necrosis, although in some instances, concomitant nonacral ischemia/skin necrosis occurs. Historically, for coagulopathic disorders with prominent nonacral ischemic necrosis, clinician-scientists implicated depletion of natural anticoagulants, especially involving the protein C (PC) system. This historical review traces the recognition of natural anticoagulant depletion as a key feature of nonacral ischemic syndromes, such as classic warfarin-induced skin necrosis, neonatal purpura fulminans (PF), and meningococcemia-associated PF. However, only after several decades was it recognized that natural anticoagulant depletion is also a key feature of predominantly acral ischemic microthrombosis syndromes-VLG and SPG-even when accompanying nonacral thrombosis is not present. These acquired acral limb ischemic syndromes typically involve the triad of (a) disseminated intravascular coagulation, (b) natural anticoagulant depletion, and (c) a localizing explanation for microthrombosis occurring in one or more limbs, either deep vein thrombosis (helping to explain VLG) or circulatory shock (helping to explain SPG). In most cases of VLG or SPG there are one or more events that exacerbate natural anticoagulant depletion, such as warfarin therapy (e.g., warfarin-associated VLG complicating heparin-induced thrombocytopenia or cancer hypercoagulability) or acute ischemic hepatitis (""shock liver"") as a proximate factor predisposing to severe depletion of hepatically synthesized natural anticoagulants (PC, antithrombin) in the setting of circulatory shock."

In a group of recently studied individuals with POT1 pathogenic variants and ultra-long telomere length, PTC was the second most common solid tumor. We tested whether variants in POT1 and four other telomere-maintenance genes associated with familial cancer underlie PTC susceptibility. Among 470 individuals, we identified pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in three genes encoding telomere-binding proteins: POT1, TINF2, and ACD. They were found in 4.5% and 1.5% of familial and unselected cases, respectively. Individuals harboring these variants had ultra-long telomere length, and 15 of 18 (83%) developed other cancers, of which melanoma, lymphoma, and sarcoma were most common. Among individuals with PTC and melanoma, 22% carried a deleterious germline variant, suggesting that a long telomere syndrome might be clinically recognizable. Successive generations had longer telomere length than their parents and, at times, developed more cancers at younger ages. Tumor sequencing identified a single oncogenic driver, BRAF p.Val600Glu, in 10 of 10 tumors studied, but no telomere-maintenance mechanism, including at the TERT promoter. These data identify a syndromic subset of PTCs with locus heterogeneity and telomere lengthening as a convergent mechanism. They suggest these germline variants lower the threshold to cancer by obviating the need for an acquired telomere-maintenance mechanism in addition to sustaining the longevity of oncogenic mutations."

Its precise incidence is often challenging to determine due to limited statistics and its incorporation with mucosal forms. While most cases have a favorable prognosis, challenges arise in patients presenting with locally advanced or metastatic forms, mainly appearing in immunocompromised patients, solid organ transplantation recipients, or those facing social difficulties. Traditionally, chemotherapy and targeted therapy were the mainstays for advanced cases, but recent approvals of immunotherapeutic agents like cemiplimab and pembrolizumab have revolutionized treatment options. These guidelines, developed by the Italian Association of Medical Oncologists (AIOM) using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) approach, aim to guide clinicians in diagnosing, treating, and monitoring patients with CSCC, covering key aspects from primitive tumors to advanced stages, selected by a panel of experts selected by AIOM and other national scientific societies.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the most abundant immune cells in the tumor microenvironment and play a crucial role in tumor survival and development. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is an emerging tool for tumor treatment that has garnered attention from scholars due to its interaction with non-tumor cells in the tumor microenvironment. Here, we used the macrophage lines THP-1 and RAW264.7, as well as the melanoma cell lines A375 and MV3, as research subjects to investigate the effect of plasma-activated liquid (PAL) on macrophage differentiation and its inhibitory effect on melanoma cell proliferation. We confirmed that the killing effect of PAL on melanoma cells was selective. Using flow cytometry and PCR, we discovered that PAL can influence macrophage differentiation. Through in vitro cell coculture, we demonstrated that PAL-treated macrophages can significantly impede tumor cell development and progression, and the effect is more potent than that of PAL directly targeting tumor cells. Furthermore, we have proposed the hypothesis that PAL promotes the differentiation of macrophages into the M1 type through the ROS/JAK2/STAT1 pathway. To test the hypothesis, we employed catalase and fludarabine to block different sites of the pathway. The results were then validated through Western Blot, qPCR and ELISA. This study illustrates that PAL therapy is an effective tumor immunotherapy and expands the scope of tumor immunotherapy. Furthermore, these findings establish a theoretical foundation for potential clinical applications of PAL."

In rare cases, BCC can be locally destructive or difficult to surgically remove. Hedgehog inhibition (HHI) with vismodegib or sonidegib induces a 50-60% response rate. Long-term toxicity includes muscle spasms and weight loss leading to dose decreases. This retrospective chart review also investigates the impact of CoQ10 and calcium supplementation in patients treated with HHI drugs at a single academic medical center from 2012 to 2022. We reviewed the charts of adult patients diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic BCC treated with vismodegib or sonidegib primarily for progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary objectives included overall survival, BCC-specific survival, time to and reasons for discontinuation, overall response rate, safety and tolerability, use of CoQ10 and calcium supplements, and insurance coverage. Of 55 patients assessable for outcome, 34 (61.8%) had an overall clinical benefit, with 25 (45.4%) having a complete response and 9 (16.3%) a partial response. Stable disease was seen in 14 (25.4%) and 7 (12.7%) progressed. Of the 34 patients who responded to treatment, 9 recurred. Patients who were rechallenged with HHI could respond again. The median overall BCC-specific survival rate at 5 years is 89%. Dose reductions or discontinuations for vismodegib and sonidegib occurred in 59% versus 24% of cases, or 30% versus 9% of cases, respectively. With CoQ10 and calcium supplementation, only 17% required a dose reduction versus 42% without. HHI is highly effective for treating advanced BCC but may require dosing decreases. Sonidegib was better tolerated than vismodegib. CoQ10 and calcium supplementation can effectively prevent muscle spasms."

+5610,skin cancer,38685805,Evaluation of Melatonin and its Nanostructures Effects on Skin Disorders Focused on Wound Healing.,"Skin is the largest organ of the human body functioning as a great primitive defensive barrier against different harmful environmental factors. However, it is damaged through varying injuries such as different wounds, burns, and skin cancers that cause disruption in internal organs and essential mechanisms of the body through inflammation, oxidation, coagulation problems, infection, etc. Melatonin is the major hormone of the pineal gland that is also effective in skin disorders due to strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory features with additional desirable antiapoptotic, anti-cancer, and antibiotic properties. However, melatonin characteristics require improvements due to its limited water solubility, halflife and stability. The application of nanocarrier systems can improve its solubility, permeability, and efficiency, as well as inhibit its degradation and promote photostability. Our main purpose in the current review is to explore the possible role of melatonin and melatonin-containing nanocarriers in skin disorders focused on wounds. Additionally, melatonin's effect in regenerative medicine and its structures as a wound dressing in skin damage has been considered."

While DAC's efficacy against glioblastoma is well documented, its role in combating lung cancer has remained largely untapped. This study focuses on CTX-1, exploring its interaction with the pivotal EGFR-TKD protein, a crucial target in lung cancer therapeutics. A meticulous molecular docking analysis revealed that CTX-1 exhibits a noteworthy binding affinity of -7.9 kcal/mol, challenging Erlotinib, a conventional lung cancer medication, which displayed a binding affinity of -7.3 kcal/mol. For a deeper understanding of CTX-1's molecular mechanics, this study employed rigorous 100-ns molecular dynamics simulations, demonstrating CTX-1's remarkable stability in comparison with erlotinib. The Molecular Mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann Surface Area (MM-PBSA) method further corroborated these results, with CTX-1 showing a free binding energy of -105.976 ± 1.916 kJ/mol. The true prowess of CTX-1 was tested against diverse lung cancer cell lines, including A549, Hop-62 and H-1299. CTX-1 not only significantly outperformed erlotinib in anticancer activity but also exhibited a spectrum of therapeutic effects. It effectively diminished cancer cell viability, induced DNA damage, halted cell cycle progression, generated reactive oxygen species (ROS), impaired mitochondrial transmembrane potential, instigated apoptosis and successfully inhibited EGFR-TKD. This study not only underscores the potential of CTX-1 a formidable contender in lung cancer treatment but also marks a paradigm shift in oncological therapeutics, offering new horizons in the fight against this formidable disease."

In this study, we present our results on the reconstruction of these defects using bipaddle and sensate free radial forearm-palmaris longus flaps and subsequent revision surgeries. Patient medical records of 11 patients with a mean age of 63.9 ± 12.8 years were retrospectively reviewed. Functional oral competence, lip cosmetics, lip sensation, and donor forearm scars were evaluated using the drooling rating scale, visual analog scale, Semmes Weinstein Monofilament test, and patient and observer scar assessment scale, respectively. The mean dimensions of distal and proximal skin paddles of bipaddle free radial forearm-palmaris longus flaps were 12.7 ± 9.9 and 20.5 ± 3.8 cm2. Mean lengths of the bridge and proximal pedicles were 4.7 ± 1.6 and 5.5 ± 0.7 cm. All the flaps survived. No drooling was observed in the 2 patients without lower lip defects. The mean drooling scores of the 9 patients with lower lip defects were statistically different (Analysis of Variance, pANOVA < 0.00001) at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively. The differences between 3 and 12 months were the most significant (pANOVA < 0.00001, pTUKEY < 0.000001). The lip sensation and drooling scores showed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.8504). All patients were able to speak fluently, drink fluid without leakage, and blow a balloon easily. All patients and observers were satisfied with the lip cosmetics, with no significant difference between satisfaction scores (P = 0.087615).There was a statistically significant difference (P < 0.00001) between mean sensation scores of surrounding healthy lip (2.94 ± 0.27) and free flaps (4.15 ± 0.4).

+5629,skin cancer,38683257,Bromodomain inhibition targeting BPTF in the treatment of melanoma and other solid tumors.,"Epigenetic mechanisms have been shown to play an important role in the development of cancer. These include the activation of chromatin remodeling factors in various malignancies, including bromodomain plant homeodomain (PHD) finger transcription factor (BPTF), the largest component of the human nucleosome remodeling factor (NURF). In the last few years, BPTF has been identified as a pro-tumorigenic factor in melanoma, stimulated by research into the molecular mechanisms underlying BPTF function. Developing therapy targeting the BPTF bromodomain would represent a significant advance. Melanoma therapy has been revolutionized by the efficacy of immunotherapeutic and targeted strategies, but the development of drug resistance calls for alternative therapeutic approaches. Recent work has shown both a biomarker as well as functional role for BPTF in melanoma progression and as a possible target for its therapy. BPTF was shown to stimulate the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, which is targeted by selective BRAF inhibitors. The advent of small molecule inhibitors that target bromodomain motifs has shown that bromodomains are druggable. By combining the bromodomain inhibitor bromosporine with existing treatments that target mutant BRAF, BPTF targeting has emerged as a novel and promising therapeutic approach for metastatic melanoma. This article summarizes the functional role of BPTF in tumor progression, reviews the clinical experience to date with bromodomain inhibitors, and discusses the promise of BPTF targeting in melanoma and other solid tumors."

However, radiation-induced skin damage during neoadjuvant radiotherapy exacerbates surgical injury, remarkably increasing the risk of refractory wounds and compromising the therapeutic effects. Radiation impedes wound healing by increasing the production of reactive oxygen species and inducing cell apoptosis and senescence. Here, a self-assembling peptide (R-peptide) and hyaluronic-acid (HA)-based and cordycepin-loaded superstructure hydrogel is prepared for surgical incision healing after neoadjuvant radiotherapy. Results show that i) R-peptide coassembles with HA to form biomimetic fiber bundle microstructure, in which R-peptide drives the assembly of single fiber through π-π stacking and other forces and HA, as a single fiber adhesive, facilitates bunching through electrostatic interactions. ii) The biomimetic superstructure contributes to the adhesion and proliferation of cells in the surgical wound. iii) Aldehyde-modified HA provides dynamic covalent binding sites for cordycepin to achieve responsive release, inhibiting radiation-induced cellular senescence. iv) Arginine in the peptides provides antioxidant capacity and a substrate for the endogenous production of nitric oxide to promote wound healing and angiogenesis of surgical wounds after neoadjuvant radiotherapy."

+5637,skin cancer,38682463,Topical hidden genome: discovering latent cancer mutational topics using a Bayesian multilevel context-learning approach.,"Inferring the cancer-type specificities of ultra-rare, genome-wide somatic mutations is an open problem. Traditional statistical methods cannot handle such data due to their ultra-high dimensionality and extreme data sparsity. To harness information in rare mutations, we have recently proposed a formal multilevel multilogistic ""hidden genome"" model. Through its hierarchical layers, the model condenses information in ultra-rare mutations through meta-features embodying mutation contexts to characterize cancer types. Consistent, scalable point estimation of the model can incorporate 10s of millions of variants across thousands of tumors and permit impressive prediction and attribution. However, principled statistical inference is infeasible due to the volume, correlation, and noninterpretability of mutation contexts. In this paper, we propose a novel framework that leverages topic models from computational linguistics to effectuate dimension reduction of mutation contexts producing interpretable, decorrelated meta-feature topics. We propose an efficient MCMC algorithm for implementation that permits rigorous full Bayesian inference at a scale that is orders of magnitude beyond the capability of existing out-of-the-box inferential high-dimensional multi-class regression methods and software. Applying our model to the Pan Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes dataset reveals interesting biological insights including somatic mutational topics associated with UV exposure in skin cancer, aging in colorectal cancer, and strong influence of epigenome organization in liver cancer. Under cross-validation, our model demonstrates highly competitive predictive performance against blackbox methods of random forest and deep learning."

As the principal substrate and cofactor engaged in diverse metabolic reactions, CoA and its derivatives exert central influence over various physiological processes, primarily modulating lipid and ketone metabolism, as well as protein modification. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the molecular mechanisms by which CoA influences the onset and progression of cancer, cardiovascular disease (CVD), neurodegenerative disorders, and other illnesses. The main focal points include the following. (1) In cancer, enzymes such as acetyl-CoA synthetase 2, ATP citrate lyase, and acetyl-CoA carboxylase regulate lipid synthesis and energy metabolism by modulating acetyl-CoA levels. (2) In CVD, the effects of enzymes such as stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMGC) synthase 2, and HMGC reductase on the formation and advancement of these diseases are elucidated by their regulation of CoA metabolism across multiple organs. (3) In neurodegenerative disorders, the significance of CoA in maintaining cholesterol homeostasis in the brain and its implications on the development of such disorders are thoroughly discussed. The metabolic processes involving CoA and its derivatives span all physiological aspects within cells, playing a critical role in the onset and progression of various diseases. Elucidating the role of CoA in these conditions yields important insights that can serve as valuable references and guidance for disease diagnosis, treatment, and drug development."

Knowing the pathognomonic, clinical, and biological features of DM plays a pivotal role in its recognition. Its correlation with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is particularly prevalent in regions where the incidence of NPC is notably high, underscoring the intricate interplay between immune dysregulation and oncogenesis. Specially, in the context of patients previously treated for NPC, the emergence of DM raises the clinical suspicion of metastatic progression or recurrence of the cancer.

Erythema multiforme (EM) is one of these dermatologic toxicities induced by sorafenib. We report the case of a 28-year-old male with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Two months after surgery, the patient presented with multiple metastases to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes and lungs. Therefore, systemic therapy with sorafenib was indicated. While receiving the medication, the patient presented signs compatible with EM. The signs occurred on the torso and then spread to the rest of the body. Sorafenib treatment was interrupted the same day when skin lesions appeared and moisturizers with topical steroids and oral antihistamines were prescribed. The skin lesions decreased in size but without significant cutaneous improvement. The patient showed biologically severe liver failure and radiological progression. Because of the severe hepatic failure, initiation of intravenous steroids and establishment of another line of chemotherapy following tumor progression were contraindicated. The decision of the multidisciplinary staff with patient consent was to proceed with the best supportive care. The patient died in ambulatory care 12 days after discharge and local treatment. This report highlights the possibility of developing severe EM while receiving sorafenib. Patients with HCC who have liver resection without liver dysfunction should not be administered sorafenib, or it must be used with caution at very low doses and accompanied by close and regular follow-ups to avoid disease progression and deaths."

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment with minimal invasiveness or scarring and few side effects, making it well tolerated by patients. However, this treatment requires further research and development to improve its effective clinical use. Here, a piezoelectric-driven microneedle (PDMN) platform that achieves high efficiency, safety, and non-invasiveness for enhanced PDT is proposed. This platform induces deep tissue cavitation, increasing the level of protoporphyrin IX and significantly enhancing drug penetration. A clinical trial involving 25 patients with skin disease was conducted to investigate the timeliness and efficacy of PDMN-assisted PDT (PDMN-PDT). Our findings suggested that PDMN-PDT boosted treatment effectiveness and reduced the required incubation time and drug concentration by 25% and 50%, respectively, without any anesthesia compared to traditional PDT. These findings suggest that PDMN-PDT is a safe and minimally invasive approach for skin disease treatment, which may improve the therapeutic efficacy of topical medications and enable translation for future clinical applications."

+5651,skin cancer,38679790,S1-Guideline Sebaceous Carcinoma.,"Sebaceous gland carcinomas are rare malignant cutaneous adnexal tumors with sebocytic differentiation. The typical predilection area is the head and neck region, where sebaceous gland carcinomas are the most common malignant adnexal tumors of the skin. According to their localization a distinction is made between periocular and extraocular sebaceous gland carcinomas. Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) should always be ruled out if it is suspected. In terms of prognosis, sebaceous gland carcinomas are potentially aggressive tumors with a clear tendency to recur and metastasize. Only small extraocular sebaceous gland carcinomas that have been completely resected have a very good prognosis. Sebaceous gland carcinomas most frequently metastasize lymphogenously to regional or distant lymph nodes; organ metastasis occurs less frequently. Periocular sebaceous gland carcinomas have a higher metastasis rate (up to 15%) than extraocular sebaceous gland carcinomas (up to 2%). Complete micrographically controlled surgery (MCS) of the primary tumor is the therapy of first choice, regardless of periocular or extraocular localization. Adjuvant or therapeutic radiotherapy may be considered. There is currently no established standard therapy for advanced, inoperable, or metastatic sebaceous gland carcinomas. Local procedures and systemic therapies such as chemotherapy or immunotherapy can be considered. The procedure should be determined individually by an interdisciplinary tumor board. Close follow-up care is recommended for these potentially aggressive carcinomas."

The success of the therapy is hampered by occurrence of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD); an inflammatory response damaging recipient organs, with gut, liver, and skin being the most susceptible. Intestinal GvHD injury is often a life-threatening complication in patients unresponsive to steroid treatment. Allogeneic mesenchymal stromal/stem cell (MSC) infusions are a promising potential treatment for steroid-resistant aGvHD. Data from our institution and others demonstrate rescue of approximately 40-50% of aGvHD patients with MSCs in Phase I, II studies and minor side effects. Although promising, better understanding of MSC mode of action and patient response to MSC-based therapy is essential to improve this lifesaving treatment."

Early detection of skin cancer can reduce mortality. Traditional methods for skin cancer detection are painful, time-consuming, expensive, and may cause the disease to spread out. Dermoscopy is used for noninvasive diagnosis of skin cancer. Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a vital role in diseases' diagnosis especially in biomedical engineering field. The automated detection systems based on AI reduce the complications in the traditional methods and can improve skin cancer's diagnosis rate. In this paper, automated early detection system for skin cancer dermoscopic images using artificial intelligent is presented. Adaptive snake (AS) and region growing (RG) algorithms are used for automated segmentation and compared with each other. The results show that AS is accurate and efficient (accuracy = 96%) more than RG algorithm (accuracy = 90%). Artificial Neural networks (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) algorithms are used for automated classification compared with each other. The proposed system with ANN algorithm shows high accuracy (94%), precision (96%), specificity (95.83%), sensitivity (recall) (92.30%), and F1-score (0.94). The proposed system is easy to use, time consuming, enables patients to make early detection for skin cancer and has high efficiency."

However, it has become clear that IL-17 is also an essential regulator of barrier tissue physiology. Steady-state microbe sensing at the skin surface induces low-level IL-17 expression that enhances epithelial integrity and resists pathogens without causing overt inflammation. Recent reports describe novel protective roles for IL-17 in wound healing and counteracting physiologic stress; however, chronic amplification of these beneficial responses contributes to skin pathologies as diverse as fibrosis, cancer, and autoinflammation. In this paper, we discuss the context-specific roles of IL-17 in skin health and disease and therapeutic opportunities."

+5668,skin cancer,38677662,Abrogation of USP9X Is a Potential Strategy to Decrease PEG10 Levels and Impede Tumor Progression in Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma.,"Advanced-stage cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are notorious for their highly aggressive behavior, resistance to conventional treatments, and poor prognosis, particularly when large-cell transformation occurs. PEG10 has been recently proposed as a potent driver for large-cell transformation in CTCL. However, the targeting of PEG10 continues to present a formidable clinical challenge that has yet to be addressed. In this study, we report an important post-translational regulatory mechanism of PEG10 in CTCL. USP9X, a deubiquitinase, interacted with and deubiquitinated PEG10, thereby stabilizing PEG10. Knockdown of USP9X or pharmacological targeting of USP9X resulted in a prominent downregulation of PEG10 and its downstream pathway in CTCL. Moreover, USP9X inhibition conferred tumor cell growth disadvantage and enhanced apoptosis in vitro, an effect that occurred in part through its regulation on PEG10. Furthermore, we demonstrated that inhibition of USP9X obviously restrained CTCL tumor growth in vivo and that high expression of USP9X is associated with poor survival in patients with CTCL. Collectively, our findings uncover USP9X as a key post-translational regulator in the stabilization of PEG10 and suggest that targeting PEG10 stabilization through USP9X inhibition may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for advanced-stage CTCL."
+5669,skin cancer,38677291,CD80 on skin stem cells promotes local expansion of regulatory T cells upon injury to orchestrate repair within an inflammatory environment.,"Following tissue damage, epithelial stem cells (SCs) are mobilized to enter the wound, where they confront harsh inflammatory environments that can impede their ability to repair the injury. Here, we investigated the mechanisms that protect skin SCs within this inflammatory environment. Characterization of gene expression profiles of hair follicle SCs (HFSCs) that migrated into the wound site revealed activation of an immune-modulatory program, including expression of CD80, major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII), and CXC motif chemokine ligand 5 (CXCL5). Deletion of CD80 in HFSCs impaired re-epithelialization, reduced accumulation of peripherally generated Treg (pTreg) cells, and increased infiltration of neutrophils in wounded skin. Importantly, similar wound healing defects were also observed in mice lacking pTreg cells. Our findings suggest that upon skin injury, HFSCs establish a temporary protective network by promoting local expansion of Treg cells, thereby enabling re-epithelialization while still kindling inflammation outside this niche until the barrier is restored."

+5671,skin cancer,38676490,A New Approach to Melanoma Treatment: microRNAs.,"Although immunotherapy and targeted therapy have radically changed melanoma treatment, the development of resistance and reduction of patient responses are still significant problems. Small molecule inhibitors are needed to overcome this situation, and biomarkers that can estimate whether patients will reply to existing treatments need to be developed. miRNAs are involved in diverse processes such as tumor development, tumor progression, metastasis, and invasion. While some miRNAs act as tumor suppressors, others may be oncogenic. miRNAs also contribute to the processes involved in drug resistance. There is increasing evidence demonstrating the possible effect of miRNAs on the diagnosis and treatment markers of melanoma. The manuscript focuses on the current challenges in melanoma treatment, highlighting issues such as the development of resistance and reduced patient responses despite the revolutionary advancements in targeted therapy and immunotherapy. It underscores the need for small molecule inhibitors and the creation of biomarkers for predicting patient responses to current treatments. The role of miRNAs in processes such as tumor development, metastasis, and invasion has been highlighted. While certain miRNAs function as tumor suppressors, others may exhibit oncogenic properties. Furthermore, increasing evidence is presented demonstrating the potential significance of miRNAs as markers for the symptom and identification of melanoma. These findings indicate a promising avenue for future research and clinical applications. In summary, the article effectively communicates key insights, making it a valuable resource for those interested in melanoma research and treatment."

+5673,skin cancer,38674299,Health Effects of Ionizing Radiation on the Human Body.,"Radioactivity is a process in which the nuclei of unstable atoms spontaneously decay, producing other nuclei and releasing energy in the form of ionizing radiation in the form of alpha (α) and beta (β) particles as well as the emission of gamma (γ) electromagnetic waves. People may be exposed to radiation in various forms, as casualties of nuclear accidents, workers in power plants, or while working and using different radiation sources in medicine and health care. Acute radiation syndrome (ARS) occurs in subjects exposed to a very high dose of radiation in a very short period of time. Each form of radiation has a unique pathophysiological effect. Unfortunately, higher organisms-human beings-in the course of evolution have not acquired receptors for the direct ""capture"" of radiation energy, which is transferred at the level of DNA, cells, tissues, and organs. Radiation in biological systems depends on the amount of absorbed energy and its spatial distribution, particularly depending on the linear energy transfer (LET). Photon radiation with low LET leads to homogeneous energy deposition in the entire tissue volume. On the other hand, radiation with a high LET produces a fast Bragg peak, which generates a low input dose, whereby the penetration depth into the tissue increases with the radiation energy. The consequences are mutations, apoptosis, the development of cancer, and cell death. The most sensitive cells are those that divide intensively-bone marrow cells, digestive tract cells, reproductive cells, and skin cells. The health care system and the public should raise awareness of the consequences of ionizing radiation. Therefore, our aim is to identify the consequences of ARS taking into account radiation damage to the respiratory system, nervous system, hematopoietic system, gastrointestinal tract, and skin."
+5674,skin cancer,38674064,Comparative Analysis of Olive-Derived Phenolic Compounds' Pro-Melanogenesis Effects on B16F10 Cells and Epidermal Human Melanocytes.,"Olive leaf contains plenty of phenolic compounds, among which oleuropein (OP) is the main component and belongs to the group of secoiridoids. Additionally, phenolic compounds such as oleocanthal (OL) and oleacein (OC), which share a structural similarity with OP and two aldehyde groups, are also present in olive leaves. These compounds have been studied for several health benefits, such as anti-cancer and antioxidant effects. However, their impact on the skin remains unknown. Therefore, this study aims to compare the effects of these three compounds on melanogenesis using B16F10 cells and human epidermal cells. Thousands of gene expressions were measured by global gene expression profiling with B16F10 cells. We found that glutaraldehyde compounds derived from olive leaves have a potential effect on the activation of the melanogenesis pathway and inducing differentiation in B16F10 cells. Accordingly, the pro-melanogenesis effect was investigated by means of melanin quantification, mRNA, and protein expression using human epidermal melanocytes (HEM). This study suggests that secoiridoid and its derivates have an impact on skin protection by promoting melanin production in both human and mouse cell lines."
+5675,skin cancer,38674007,The Anticancer Activities of Natural Terpenoids That Inhibit Both Melanoma and Non-Melanoma Skin Cancers.,"The prevalence of two major types of skin cancer, melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer, has been increasing worldwide. Skin cancer incidence is estimated to rise continuously over the next 20 years due to ozone depletion and an increased life expectancy. Chemotherapeutic agents could affect healthy cells, and thus may be toxic to them and cause numerous side effects or drug resistance. Phytochemicals that are naturally occurring in fruits, plants, and herbs are known to possess various bioactive properties, including anticancer properties. Although the effects of phytochemicals are relatively milder than chemotherapeutic agents, the long-term intake of phytochemicals may be effective and safe in preventing tumor development in humans. Diverse phytochemicals have shown anti-tumorigenic activities for either melanoma or non-melanoma skin cancer. In this review, we focused on summarizing recent research findings of the natural and dietary terpenoids (eucalyptol, eugenol, geraniol, linalool, and ursolic acid) that have anticancer activities for both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. These terpenoids may be helpful to protect skin collectively to prevent tumorigenesis of both melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers."

We focus on understanding how CXCL1 is involved in the cancer processes of these specific types of tumors. We look at how CXCL1 affects cancer cells, including their proliferation, migration, EMT, and metastasis. We also explore how CXCL1 influences other cells connected to tumors, like promoting angiogenesis, recruiting neutrophils, and affecting immune cell functions. Additionally, we discuss the clinical aspects by exploring how CXCL1 levels relate to cancer staging, lymph node metastasis, patient outcomes, chemoresistance, and radioresistance."

So far, the cytostatic potential of 2'-methylthiamine has not been studied. We have come forward with a simplified method of synthesis using commercially available substrates and presented a comparison of its effects, as boosted by oxythiamine, on normal skin fibroblasts and HeLa cancer cells, having adopted in vitro culture techniques.

One of the biggest goals of current research is to develop new therapeutic options for patients affected by this aggressive tumor. We conducted a retrospective study including 105 patients diagnosed with cutaneous and ocular melanoma, with stages varying from pT1a to pT4b and pT4e, respectively, and we performed immunohistochemistry reactions with the new potential prognostic marker, VISTA (V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation). We quantified the expression by applying the H-score adapted for VISTA and divided the patients, based on the median value, into groups that presented high, low, and negative expression. Therefore, we obtained 65 cases with positive expression for cutaneous melanoma and 8 cases with positive expression for ocular melanoma. Forty-one cases presented high expression in cutaneous melanoma and three cases presented high expression in ocular melanoma. In cutaneous melanoma, analytic statistics showed that VISTA expression was associated with a high Breslow index, high mitotic count, high Ki67 expression, and advanced clinicopathological stage. The majority of ocular melanoma cases demonstrating a positive reaction were classified as stage pT3, whereas earlier stages showed a negative reaction. Our findings underscore a significant correlation between VISTA expression and key prognostic factors in melanoma. Looking ahead, the prospect of future randomized studies holds promise in corroborating the clinical relevance of our findings. By further elucidating the intricate relationship between VISTA expression and melanoma progression, new treatment strategies could be found, improving patient outcomes in this challenging neoplasm."

The incidence of metastasis for cSCC is estimated to be around 1.2-5%. Ribosomal protein S6 (p-S6) and the p21 protein (p21) are two proteins that play central roles in other cancers. These proteins may be equally important in cSCC, and together, these could constitute a good candidate for metastasis risk assessment of these patients. We investigate the relationship of p-S6 and p21 expression with the impact on the prognosis of head and neck cSCC (cSCCHN). p-S6 and p21 expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry on paraffin-embedded tissue samples from 116 patients with cSCCHN and associations sought with clinical characteristics. Kaplan-Meier estimators and Cox proportional hazard regression models were also used. The expression of p-S6 was significantly inversely associated with tumor thickness, tumor size, desmoplastic growth, pathological stage, perineural invasion and tumor buds. p21 expression was significantly inversely correlated with >6 mm tumor thickness, desmoplastic growth, and perineural invasion. p-S6-negative expression significantly predicted an increased risk of nodal metastasis (HR = 2.63, 95% CI 1.51-4.54; "

+5681,skin cancer,38673837,Identification of Plasma Lipid Alterations Associated with Melanoma Metastasis.,"The aim of this study was to apply a state-of-the-art quantitative lipidomic profiling platform to uncover lipid alterations predictive of melanoma progression. Our study included 151 melanoma patients; of these, 83 were without metastasis and 68 with metastases. Plasma samples were analyzed using a targeted Lipidyzer™ platform, covering 13 lipid classes and over 1100 lipid species. Following quality control filters, 802 lipid species were included in the subsequent analyses. Total plasma lipid contents were significantly reduced in patients with metastasis. Specifically, levels of two out of the thirteen lipid classes (free fatty acids (FFAs) and lactosylceramides (LCERs)) were significantly decreased in patients with metastasis. Three lipids (CE(12:0), FFA(24:1), and TAG47:2-FA16:1) were identified as more effective predictors of melanoma metastasis than the well-known markers LDH and S100B. Furthermore, the predictive value substantially improved upon combining the lipid markers. We observed an increase in the cumulative levels of five lysophosphatidylcholines (LPC(16:0); LPC(18:0); LPC(18:1); LPC(18:2); LPC(20:4)), each individually associated with an elevated risk of lymph node metastasis but not cutaneous or distant metastasis. Additionally, seventeen lipid molecules were linked to patient survival, four of which (CE(12:0), CE(14:0), CE(15:0), SM(14:0)) overlapped with the lipid panel predicting metastasis. This study represents the first comprehensive investigation of the plasma lipidome of melanoma patients to date. Our findings suggest that plasma lipid profiles may serve as important biomarkers for predicting clinical outcomes of melanoma patients, including the presence of metastasis, and may also serve as indicators of patient survival."
+5682,skin cancer,38673829,Understanding the Tumor Microenvironment in Melanoma Patients with In-Transit Metastases and Its Impacts on Immune Checkpoint Immunotherapy Responses.,"Melanoma is the leading cause of global skin cancer-related death and currently ranks as the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia. Melanoma patients with in-transit metastases (ITM), a type of locoregional metastasis located close to the primary tumor site, exhibit a high likelihood of further disease progression and poor survival outcomes. Immunotherapies, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in ITM patients with reduced occurrence of further metastases and prolonged survival. The major challenge of immunotherapeutic efficacy lies in the limited understanding of melanoma and ITM biology, hindering our ability to identify patients who likely respond to ICIs effectively. In this review, we provided an overview of melanoma and ITM disease. We outlined the key ICI therapies and the critical immune features associated with therapy response or resistance. Lastly, we dissected the underlying biological components, including the cellular compositions and their communication networks within the tumor compartment, to enhance our understanding of the interactions between immunotherapy and melanoma, providing insights for future investigation and the development of drug targets and predictive biomarkers."

Significant progress has been made in the last few decades in melanoma therapeutics, most notably in targeted therapy and immunotherapy. These approaches have greatly improved treatment response outcomes; however, they remain limited in their abilities to hinder disease progression due, in part, to the onset of acquired resistance. In parallel, intrinsic resistance to therapy remains an issue to be resolved. In this review, we summarize currently available therapeutic options for melanoma treatment and focus on possible mechanisms that drive therapeutic resistance. A better understanding of therapy resistance will provide improved rational strategies to overcome these obstacles."

+5687,skin cancer,38672543,Adjuvant PD-1 Checkpoint Inhibition in Early Cutaneous Melanoma: Immunological Mode of Action and the Role of Ultraviolet Radiation.,"Melanoma ranks as the fifth most common solid cancer in adults worldwide and is responsible for a significant proportion of skin-tumor-related deaths. The advent of immune checkpoint inhibition with anti-programmed death protein-1 (PD-1) antibodies has revolutionized the adjuvant treatment of high-risk, completely resected stage III/IV melanoma. However, not all patients benefit equally. Current strategies for improving outcomes involve adjuvant treatment in earlier disease stages (IIB/C) as well as perioperative treatment approaches. Interfering with T-cell exhaustion to counteract cancer immune evasion and the immunogenic nature of melanoma is key for anti-PD-1 effectiveness. Yet, the biological rationale for the efficacy of adjuvant treatment in clinically tumor-free patients remains to be fully elucidated. High-dose intermittent sun exposure (sunburn) is a well-known primary risk factor for melanomagenesis. Also, ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced immunosuppression may impair anti-cancer immune surveillance. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge about adjuvant anti-PD-1 blockade, including a characterization of the main cell types most likely responsible for its efficacy. In conclusion, we propose that local and systemic immunosuppression, to some extent UVR-mediated, can be restored by adjuvant anti-PD-1 therapy, consequently boosting anti-melanoma immune surveillance and the elimination of residual melanoma cell clones."
+5688,skin cancer,38672488,Joint Hypermobility Syndrome and Membrane Proteins: A Comprehensive Review.,"Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDSs) constitute a heterogeneous group of connective tissue disorders characterized by joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility. Asymptomatic EDSs, joint hypermobility without associated syndromes, EDSs, and hypermobility spectrum disorders are the commonest phenotypes associated with joint hypermobility. Joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS) is a connective tissue disorder characterized by extreme flexibility of the joints, along with pain and other symptoms. JHS can be a sign of a more serious underlying genetic condition, such as EDS, which affects the cartilage, bone, fat, and blood. The exact cause of JHS could be related to genetic changes in the proteins that add flexibility and strength to the joints, ligaments, and tendons, such as collagen. Membrane proteins are a class of proteins embedded in the cell membrane and play a crucial role in cell signaling, transport, and adhesion. Dysregulated membrane proteins have been implicated in a variety of diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurological disorders; recent studies have suggested that membrane proteins may also play a role in the pathogenesis of JHS. This article presents an exploration of the causative factors contributing to musculoskeletal pain in individuals with hypermobility, based on research findings. It aims to provide an understanding of JHS and its association with membrane proteins, addressing the clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of JHS."

Treatment is therefore always necessary, and conventional photodynamic therapy is a first-line option. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the clinical response, recurrence rates, safety, and cosmetic outcome of photodynamic therapy in the treatment of Bowen's disease, considering different protocols in terms of photosensitizers, light source, and combination treatments. Photodynamic therapy is a valuable option for tumors at sites where wound healing is poor/delayed, in the case of multiple and/or large tumors, and where surgery would be difficult or invasive. Dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy can be used as valuable tools for monitoring the therapeutic response. The treatment is generally well tolerated, with mild side effects, and is associated with a good/excellent cosmetic outcome. Periodic follow-up after photodynamic therapy is essential because of the risk of recurrence and progression to cSCC. As the incidence of keratinocyte tumors increases, the therapeutic space for photodynamic therapy will further increase."

Unlike other DNA repair polymerases, Pol θ is thought to be highly error-prone yet critical for cell survival. We have identified several POLQ gene variants from human melanoma tumors that experience altered DNA polymerase activity, including a propensity for incorrect nucleotide selection and reduced polymerization rates compared to WT Pol θ. Variants are 30-fold less efficient at incorporating a nucleotide during repair and up to 70-fold less accurate at selecting the correct nucleotide opposite a templating base. This suggests that aberrant Pol θ has reduced DNA repair capabilities and may also contribute to increased mutagenesis. Moreover, the variants were identified in established tumors, suggesting that cancer cells may use mutated polymerases to promote metastasis and drug resistance."

Especially melanoma metastases to the brain (intracranial metastases) are hard to treat and a major cause of death of melanoma patients. Little is known about molecular alterations and altered mechanisms that distinguish intra- from extracranial melanoma metastases. So far, almost all existing studies compared intracranial metastases from one set of patients to extracranial metastases of an another set of melanoma patients. This neglects the important facts that each melanoma is highly individual and that intra- and extracranial melanoma metastases from the same patient are more similar to each other than to melanoma metastases from other patients in the same organ. To overcome this, we compared the gene expression profiles of 16 intracranial metastases to their corresponding 21 patient-matched extracranial metastases in a personalized way using a three-state Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to identify altered genes for each individual metastasis pair. This enabled three major findings by considering the predicted gene expression alterations across all patients: (i) most frequently altered pathways include cytokine-receptor interaction, calcium signaling, ECM-receptor interaction, cAMP signaling, Jak-STAT and PI3K/Akt signaling, (ii) immune-relevant signaling pathway genes were downregulated in intracranial metastases, and (iii) intracranial metastases were associated with a brain-like phenotype gene expression program. Further, the integration of all differentially expressed genes across the patient-matched melanoma metastasis pairs led to a set of 103 genes that were consistently down- or up-regulated in at least 11 of the 16 of the patients. This set of genes contained many genes involved in the regulation of immune responses, cell growth, cellular signaling and transport processes. An analysis of these genes in the TCGA melanoma cohort showed that the expression behavior of 11 genes was significantly associated with survival. Moreover, a comparison of the 103 genes to three closely related melanoma metastasis studies revealed a core set of eight genes that were consistently down- or upregulated in intra- compared to extracranial metastases in at least two of the three related studies (down: CILP, DPT, FGF7, LAMP3, MEOX2, TMEM119; up: GLDN, PMP2) including FGF7 that was also significantly associated with survival. Our findings contribute to a better characterization of genes and pathways that distinguish intra- from extracranial melanoma metastasis and provide important hints for future experimental studies to identify potential targets for new therapeutic approaches."

The cytotoxic activity of the newly synthesized congeners was investigated against MCF-7 (human breast cancer), HCT-116 (colon cancer), HepG2 (liver cancer), and normal skin fibroblast cells (BJ1). The obtained data indicated that compounds 14b, 17, and 19 induce cytotoxic activity in the breast MCF7, while compounds 6a, 6b, 11 and 14c showed highly potent activity in the colon cancer cell lines. Overall, the results demonstrate that the potential cytotoxic effects of the studied compounds may be based on their ability to induce DNA fragmentation in cancer cell lines, down-regulate the expression level of CDK4 as well as the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2 and up-regulate the expression of the pro-apoptotic genes P53 and Bax. Furthermore, compounds 14b and 14c showed a dual mechanism of action by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. The docking studies showed that the binding affinity of the most active cytotoxic compounds within the active pocket of the CDK4 enzyme is stronger due to hydrophobic and H-bonding interactions. These results were found to be consistent with the experimental results."

Therefore, the nomogram model for predicting the specific mortality risk of melanoma in the upper limbs was developed. A population with melanoma in the upper limbs, diagnosed from 2010 to 2015, were selected from the National Cancer Institute database of Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER). The independent predictive factors of specific death were confirmed by the competing risk model of one-factor analysis and multi-factor analysis, and the nomogram was constructed according to the independent predictive factors. 17,200 patients with upper limb melanoma were enrolled in the study (training cohort: n = 12,040; validation cohort: n = 5160). Multi-factor analysis of the competing risk model showed that age, marital status, gender, tumor stage, T stage, M stage, regional lymph node surgery information, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, mitotic cell count, ulcer and whether there were multiple primary cancers, were independent factors affecting the specific death of upper limb melanoma patients (P < 0.05). The nomogram has good predictive ability regarding the specific mortality risk of melanoma in the upper limbs, and could be of great help to formulate prognostic treatment strategies and follow-up strategies that are conducive to survival."

+5700,skin cancer,38670762,Hyaluronic acid-based injectable formulation developed to mitigate metastasis and radiation-induced skin fibrosis in breast cancer treatment.,"The standard treatment for early-stage breast cancer involves breast-conserving surgery followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. However, approximately 20 % of patients experience distant metastasis, and adjuvant radiotherapy often leads to radiation-induced skin fibrosis (RISF). In this study, we develop an on-site injectable formulation composed of selenocystamine (SeCA) and hyaluronic acid (HyA), referred to as SeCA cross-linked HyA (SCH) agent, and investigate its potential to mitigate metastasis and prevent RISF associated with breast cancer therapy. SCH agents are synthesized using the nanoprecipitation method to modulate cell-cell tight junctions and tissue inflammation. The toxicity assessments reveal that SCH agents with a higher Se content (Se payload 17.4 μg/mL) are well tolerated by L929 cells compared to SeCA (Se payload 3.2 μg/mL). In vitro, SCH agents significantly enhance cell-cell tight junctions and effectively mitigate migration and invasion of breast cancer cells (4T1). In vivo, SCH agents mitigate distant lung metastasis. Furthermore, in animal models, SCH agents reduce RISF and promote wound repair. These findings highlight the potential of SCH agents as a novel therapeutic formulation for effectively mitigating metastasis and reducing RISF. This holds great promise for improving clinical outcomes in breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant radiotherapy."

It has higher incidence in patients who receive combination ICI therapy compared to monotherapy. Patients can present with clinical manifestation symptoms of myositis alone or in combination with myocarditis and/or myasthenia gravis, which significantly worsens the course and prognosis. Diagnosis can generally be made on the basis of clinical presentation, elevation of muscle enzymes, and electromyographic changes, but some patients may require a muscle biopsy.

+5704,skin cancer,38670649,A method to predict space radiation biological effectiveness for non-cancer effects following intense Solar Particle Events.,"In addition to the continuous exposure to cosmic rays, astronauts in space are occasionally exposed to Solar Particle Events (SPE), which involve less energetic particles but can deliver much higher doses. The latter can exceed several Gy in a few hours for the most intense SPEs, for which non-stochastic effects are thus a major concern. To identify adequate shielding conditions that would allow respecting the dose limits established by the various space agencies, the absorbed dose in the considered organ/tissue must be multiplied by the corresponding Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE), which is a complex quantity depending on several factors including particle type and energy, considered biological effect, level of effect (and thus absorbed dose), etc. While in several studies only the particle-type dependence of RBE is taken into account, in this work we developed and applied a new approach where, thanks to an interface between the FLUKA Monte Carlo transport code and the BIANCA biophysical model, the RBE dependence on particle energy and absorbed dose was also considered. Furthermore, we included in the considered SPE spectra primary particles heavier than protons, which in many studies are neglected. This approach was then applied to the October 2003 SPE (the most intense SPE of solar cycle 23, also known as ""Halloween event"") and the January 2005 event, which was characterized by a lower fluence but a harder spectrum, i.e., with higher-energy particles. The calculation outcomes were then discussed and compared with the current dose limits established for skin and blood forming organs in case of 30-days missions. This work showed that the BIANCA model, if interfaced to a radiation transport code, can be used to calculate the RBE values associated to Solar Particle Events. More generally, this work emphasizes the importance of taking into account the RBE dependence on particle energy and dose when calculating equivalent doses."

Twelve LMN cases were retrospectively reviewed. We performed Fluorescence in-situ hybridization (including a 4-probe FISH assay with CDKN2A and MYC assay) and Next-Generation sequencing analyses on available cases. Histologically, 2 tumours were classified as melanocytomas (MC), 2 as intermediate-grade melanocytomas (IMC), and 8 as leptomeningeal melanomas (LMM). Two rare cases of LMM were associated with large plaque-like blue nevus. One MC case was associated with Ota. Ten cases (83.3%) showed melanocytic cells with benign features diffusely proliferating within the meninges. The Ki-67 in three categories differed (MC 0-1%, IMC 0-3%, LMM 3-10%). 57.1% of LMM cases (4/7) were positive for FISH. Nine of 10 tumours harboured activating hotspot mutations in GNAQ, GNA11, or PLCB4. Additional mutations of EIF1AX, SF3B1, or BAP1 were found in 40%, 30%, and 10% of tumours, respectively. During the follow-up (median = 43 months), 5 LMM patients experienced recurrence and/or metastasis, 3 of them died of the disease and the other 2 are alive with the tumour. Our study is by far the first cohort of LMN cases tested by FISH. In addition to morphological indicators including necrosis and mitotic figures, using a combination of Ki-67 and FISH helps to differentiate between IMC and LMM, especially in LMM cases with less pleomorphic features. SF3B1 mutation is first described in 2 cases of plaque-type blue nevus associated with LMM. Patients with SF3B1 mutation might be related to poor prognosis in LMN."
+5707,skin cancer,38670230,"Advancing immunotherapy using biomaterials to control tissue, cellular, and molecular level immune signaling in skin.","Immunotherapies have been transformative in many areas, including cancer treatments, allergies, and autoimmune diseases. However, significant challenges persist in extending the reach of these technologies to new indications and patients. Some of the major hurdles include narrow applicability to patient groups, transient efficacy, high cost burdens, poor immunogenicity, and side effects or off-target toxicity that results from lack of disease-specificity and inefficient delivery. Thus, there is a significant need for strategies that control immune responses generated by immunotherapies while targeting infection, cancer, allergy, and autoimmunity. Being the outermost barrier of the body and the first line of host defense, the skin presents a unique immunological interface to achieve these goals. The skin contains a high concentration of specialized immune cells, such as antigen-presenting cells and tissue-resident memory T cells. These cells feature diverse and potent combinations of immune receptors, providing access to cellular and molecular level control to modulate immune responses. Thus, skin provides accessible tissue, cellular, and molecular level controls that can be harnessed to improve immunotherapies. Biomaterial platforms - microneedles, nano- and micro-particles, scaffolds, and other technologies - are uniquely capable of modulating the specialized immunological niche in skin by targeting these distinct biological levels of control. This review highlights recent pre-clinical and clinical advances in biomaterial-based approaches to target and modulate immune signaling in the skin at the tissue, cellular, and molecular levels for immunotherapeutic applications. We begin by discussing skin cytoarchitecture and resident immune cells to establish the biological rationale for skin-targeting immunotherapies. This is followed by a critical presentation of biomaterial-based pre-clinical and clinical studies aimed at controlling the immune response in the skin for immunotherapy and therapeutic vaccine applications in cancer, allergy, and autoimmunity."

Recent studies also indicate their involvement in regulating tumor immunity. The tumor suppressor liver kinase B1 (LKB1) inactivating mutations are associated with a variety of human cancers; however, the role of LKB1 in ILC2 function and ILC2-mediated tumor immunity remains unknown. Here, we show that ablation of LKB1 in ILC2s results in an exhausted-like phenotype, which promotes the development of lung melanoma metastasis. Mechanistically, LKB1 deficiency leads to a marked increase in the expression of programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) in ILC2s through the activation of the nuclear factor of activated T cell pathway. Blockade of PD-1 can restore the effector functions of LKB1-deficient ILC2s, leading to enhanced antitumor immune responses in vivo. Together, our results reveal that LKB1 acts to restrain the exhausted state of ILC2 to maintain immune homeostasis and antitumor immunity."

Cytotoxic chemotherapy offered modest response rates of 20%-30%, but no clear survival benefit. Patients were routinely enrolled in clinical trials as their first-line therapy in the search for effective novel therapeutics. Remarkable developments in molecular biology, cancer genomics, immunology, and drug discovery have dominated the early part of the 21st century, and nowhere have the benefits been better realized than in the transformation of outcomes for patients with metastatic melanoma: since 2011, 14 new agents have been approved that significantly increase survival, with long-term remissions and, possibly now, potential for cure. Even so, there is still much work to be done, given that most treated patients still die of their disease. Although most survival gains have so far been realized for cutaneous melanoma, improving treatment options for those 10% of patients with rarer, noncutaneous melanomas is a high priority.

Owing to its low incidence rate, the clinical and pathological features of this condition are not well understood. This study aimed to analyze the clinical and pathological characteristics of the malignant transformation of epidermal cysts, which could suggest an appropriate treatment strategy. We conducted a retrospective study of 9 patients diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma arising from epidermal cysts. All patients underwent surgical excision, and clinical information regarding patient demographics, tumor characteristics, treatment, and outcomes was analyzed. The average age at diagnosis was 57.3 years, with an average latency period of 15.4 years. Five patients had undergone prior cyst excision or drainage, with an average of 2.3 episodes of recurrence. Surgical excision was the primary treatment in all cases, and 2 patients with margin involvement at the final pathology underwent re-excision with additional resection margins. No recurrence was observed during the follow-up period. Four patients had immune dysregulation due to an underlying chronic kidney disease or cancer. Our study emphasizes the need for increased awareness of squamous cell carcinoma arising from epidermal cysts in patients with a history of cyst existence or recurrence, especially those with immune deficiencies. We expect these findings to contribute to early suspicion of malignant transformation and guide adequate clinical decision-making."

Herein, we utilized anoikis-related genes (ARGs) to predict the prognosis and immunotherapeutic efficacy for skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM). RNA-seq data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus databases. After dividing patients into novel subtypes based on the expression of prognostic ARGs, K-M survival was conducted to compare the survival status. Subsequently, differentially expressed ARGs were identified and the predictive model was established. The predictive effects were validated using the areas under the curve about the receiver operating characteristic. Moreover, tumor mutation burden, the enriched functional pathway, immune cells and functions, and the immunotherapeutic response were also analyzed and compared. The distribution of model genes at cell level was visualized by the single-cell seq with tumor immune single-cell hub database. Patients of The Cancer Genome Atlas-SKCM cohort were divided into 2 clusters, the cluster 1 performed a better prognosis. Cluster 2 was more enriched in metabolism-related pathways whereas cluster 1 was more associated with immune pathways. A predictive risk model was established with 6 ARGs, showing the areas under the curves of 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year ROC were 0.715, 0,720, and 0.731, respectively. Moreover, risk score was negatively associated with tumor mutation burden and immune-related pathways enrichment. In addition, patients with high-risk scores performed immunosuppressive status but the decreasing scores enhanced immune cell infiltration, immune function activation, and immunotherapeutic response. In this study, we established a novel signature in predicting prognosis and immunotherapy. It can be considered reliable to formulate the complex treatment for SKCM patients."

However, response varies among from patient to patient and predictive biomarkers are urgently needed. We integrated mutational profiles from next-generation sequencing (NGS) data and clinicopathologic characteristics of melanoma patients to investigate whether tumor genomic profiling contribute to clinical benefit of ICIs treatment. The majority of genes identified with high mutation frequency have all been reported as well-known immunotherapy-related genes. Thirty-five patients (43.2%) had at least 1 BRAF/RAS/NF1 mutation. The other 46 (56.8%) melanomas without BRAF/RAS/NF1 mutation were classified as Triple-WT. We identified mutational signature 6 (known as associated with defective DNA mismatch repair) among cases in this cohort. Compared to patients with PD-L1 expression (TPS < 1%), patients with PD-L1 expression (TPS ≥ 1%) had significantly higher median progression-free survival (mPFS), but no significantly higher durable clinical benefit (DCB) rate. In contrast, FAT1, ATM, BRCA2, LRP1B, and PBRM1 mutations only occurred frequently in patients with DCB, irrespective of PD-L1 expression status.

It plays an important role in cancer stem cell differentiation, T cell differentiation, and immune homeostasis. In this study, we explored the potential roles of m6A modification of RNA in melanoma and investigated the immune cell infiltration in tumor microenvironment in diverse m6Aclusters and different m6Ascore groups. A consensus clustering algorithm determined m6A modification patterns based on 14 m6A regulators, and further explored the biological functions and the connection with TME. An m6A-related gene signature (m6Ascore) was constructed based on m6A-related genes using principal component analysis. Three m6A modification patterns were identified based on 14 m6A regulators, named as m6Aclusters A-C. The prognosis of m6Acluster A was more favorable than m6Aclusters B and C, and it was more closely associated with immune regulation. To quantify the m6A modification patterns of individual tumor, an m6Ascore was constructed, and patients were classified into high and low m6Ascore groups. The low m6Ascore group, which had a favorable prognosis, was more relevant to immunology. The expression of PD-L1 was higher and the immunophenoscore (IPS) revealed stronger response to immunotherapy in the low m6Ascore group. This study identified 3 m6A modification patterns with different immune characteristics and constructed an m6Ascore system to predict prognosis and immunogenicity of patients, which is conducive to clinical prognosis judgment and individual treatment."

Boiling is a common household method used to produce relatively high-quality drinking water in some countries and regions. In this study, with the aid of an integrated approach of in vitro bioassays and non-target analysis based on high-resolution mass spectrometry coupled with liquid chromatography, alterations in endocrine-disrupting activities in tap water samples without and with boiling were revealed, as well as the potential endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) contributing to these alterations were identified. The organic extracts of tap water had no significant (ant)agonistic activities against an estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), glucocorticoid receptor (GR), and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) at enrichment concentrations of ≤10 times, posing no immediate or acute health risk to humans. However, the presence of agonistic activities against PR and MR and antagonistic activities against ER, PR, GR, and MR in OEs of tap water at relatively higher enrichment concentrations still raise potential health concerns. Boiling effectively reduced antagonistic activities against these steroid hormone receptors (SHRs) but increased estrogenic and glucocorticoid activities in drinking water. Four novel potential EDCs, including one UV filter (phenylbenzimidazole sulfonic acid, PBSA) and three natural metabolites of organisms (beta-hydroxymyristic acid, 12-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid, and isorosmanol) were identified in drinking water samples, each of which showed (ant)agonistic activities against different SHRs. Given the widespread use of UV filters in sunscreens to prevent skin cancer, the health risks posed by PBSA as an identified novel EDC are of concern. Although boiling has been thought to reduce the health risk of drinking water contamination, our findings suggest that boiling may have a more complex effect on the endocrine-disrupting activities of drinking water and, therefore, a more comprehensive assessment is needed."

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance may be combined with FUS (MRgFUS) to increase its accuracy and has been proposed for lung tumor ablation/debulking. However, the lungs are predominantly filled with air, which attenuates the strength of the FUS beam. This investigation aimed to test the feasibility of a new approach using an intentional lung collapse to reduce the amount of air inside the lung and a controlled hydrothorax to create an acoustic window for transcutaneous MRgFUS lung ablation. Eleven pigs had one lung mechanically ventilated while the other lung underwent a controlled collapse and subsequent hydrothorax of that hemisphere. The MRgFUS lung ablations were then conducted via the intercostal space. All the animals recovered well and remained healthy in the week following the FUS treatment. The location and size of the ablations were confirmed one week post-treatment via MRI, necropsy, and histological analysis.

Targeted screening of those at high risk for developing CM, a cost-effective alternative to population-wide screening, requires valid procedures to identify the high-risk group. Self-assessment of the number of nevi has been suggested as a component of such procedures, but its validity has not yet been established. We analyzed the level of agreement between self-assessments and examiner assessments of the number of melanocytic nevi in the area between the wrist and the shoulder of both arms based on 4548 study subjects in whom mutually blinded double counting of nevi was performed. Nevus counting followed the IARC protocol. Study subjects received written instructions, photographs, a mirror, and a ""nevometer"" to support self-assessment of nevi larger than 2 mm. Nevus counts were categorized based on the quintiles of the distribution into five levels, defining a nevus score. Cohen's weighted kappa coefficient (κ) was estimated to measure the level of agreement. In the total sample, the agreement between self-assessments and examiner assessments was moderate (weighted κ = 0.596). Self-assessed nevus counts were higher than those determined by trained examiners (mean difference: 3.33 nevi). The level of agreement was independent of sociodemographic and cutaneous factors; however, participants' eye color had a significant impact on the level of agreement. Our findings show that even with comprehensive guidance, only a moderate level of agreement between self-assessed and examiner-assessed nevus counts can be achieved. Self-assessed nevus information does not appear to be reliable enough to be used in individual risk assessment to target screening activities."

+5734,skin cancer,38667671,A Novel In Vitro Pathological Model for Studying Neural Invasion in Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer.,"Neural Invasion (NI) is a key pathological feature of cancer in the colonization of distant tissues, and its underlying biological mechanisms are still scarcely known. The complex interactions between nerve and tumor cells, along with the stroma, make it difficult to reproduce this pathology in effective study models, which in turn has limited the understanding of NI pathogenesis. In this study, we have designed a three-dimensional model of NI squamous cell carcinoma combining human epidermoid carcinoma cells (hECCs) with a complete peripheral nerve segment encapsulated in a fibrine-agarose hydrogel. We recreated two vital processes of NI: a pre-invasive NI model in which hECCs were seeded on the top of the nerve-enriched stroma, and an invasive NI model in which cancer cells were immersed with the nerve in the hydrogel. Histological, histochemical and immunohistochemical analyses were performed to validate the model. Results showed that the integration of fibrin-agarose advanced hydrogel with a complete nerve structure and hECCs successfully generated an environment in which tumor cells and nerve components coexisted. Moreover, this model correctly preserved components of the neural extracellular matrix as well as allowing the proliferation and migration of cells embedded in hydrogel. All these results suggest the suitability of the model for the study of the mechanisms underlaying NI."

Initially, the patient responded excellently to treatment, but stopped pembrolizumab for grade IV skin toxicity with multiple ulcerative wounds over the bilateral leg and trunk. The lesions abated following administration of antibiotics and oral prednisolone for two months. After that, she was referred to the radiation oncology department for further treatment. She received radiotherapy for the sternum mass but stopped radiation at 42Gy/21 fractions for severe dyspnea and fever. Blood sampling found leukocytosis with neutrophil predominance. Chest radiography showed bilateral lung infiltration. Pulmonary CT scan yielded bilateral lung patchy consolidation compatible with radiation isodose-line.

+5736,skin cancer,38667195,SERS-Based Microneedle Biosensor for In Situ and Sensitive Detection of Tyrosinase.,"Tyrosinase (TYR) emerges as a key enzyme that exerts a regulatory influence on the synthesis of melanin, thereby assuming the role of a critical biomarker for the detection of melanoma. Detecting the authentic concentration of TYR in the skin remains a primary challenge. Distinguished from ex vivo detection methods, this study introduces a novel sensor platform that integrates a microneedle (MN) biosensor with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology for the in situ detection of TYR in human skin. The platform utilized dopamine (DA)-functionalized gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) as the capturing substrate and 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA)-modified silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) acting as the SERS probe. Here, the Au NPs were functionalized with mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA) for DA capture. In the presence of TYR, DA immobilized on the MN is preferentially oxidized to dopamine quinone (DQ), a process that results in a decreased density of SERS probes on the platform. TYR concentration was detected through variations in the signal intensity emitted by the phenylboronic acid. The detection system was able to evaluate TYR concentrations within a linear range of 0.05 U/mL to 200 U/mL and showed robust anti-interference capabilities. The proposed platform, integrating MN-based in situ sensing, SERS technology, and TYR responsiveness, holds significant importance for diagnosing cutaneous melanoma."

Kahweol, a diterpene that naturally occurs in coffee beans, boasts anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and anti-cancer properties. This research explores the anti-inflammatory action of kahweol on HaCaT human keratinocytes stimulated by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ), focusing on key signal transduction pathways. Our results demonstrate that kahweol markedly reduces the production of IL-1β, IL-6, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8, and macrophage-derived chemokine in TNF-α/IFN-γ-activated HaCaT cells. Furthermore, it curtails the phosphorylation of key proteins in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, including c-Jun N-terminal kinase, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, and p38. Additionally, kahweol impedes the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of the NF-κB p65 subunit and constrains its DNA-binding capability. It also hampers the phosphorylation, nuclear translocation, and DNA-binding activities of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) and STAT3. Collectively, these findings suggest that kahweol hinders the generation of cytokines and chemokines in inflamed keratinocytes by inhibiting the MAPK, NF-κB, and STAT cascades. These insights position kahweol as a promising agent for dermatological interventions, especially in managing inflammatory skin conditions such as AD."
+5738,skin cancer,38666757,"Human papillomavirus infection: Epidemiology, biology, host interactions, cancer development, prevention, and therapeutics.","Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections worldwide. It is caused by the HPV, a DNA virus that infects epithelial cells in various mucous membranes and skin surfaces. HPV can be categorised into high-risk and low-risk types based on their association with the development of certain cancers. High-risk HPV types, such as HPV-16 and HPV-18, are known to be oncogenic and are strongly associated with the development of cervical, anal, vaginal, vulvar, penile, and oropharyngeal cancers. These types of HPV can persist in the body for an extended period and, in some cases, lead to the formation of precancerous lesions that may progress to cancer if left untreated. Low-risk HPV types, such as HPV-6 and HPV-11, are not typically associated with cancer but can cause benign conditions like genital warts. Genital warts are characterised by the growth of small, cauliflower-like bumps on the genital and anal areas. Although not life-threatening, they can cause discomfort and psychological distress. HPV is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. It can also be transmitted through non-penetrative sexual activities that involve skin-to-skin contact. In addition to sexual transmission, vertical transmission from mother to child during childbirth is possible but relatively rare. Prevention of HPV infection includes vaccination and safe sexual practices. HPV vaccines, such as Gardasil and Cervarix, are highly effective in preventing infection with the most common high-risk HPV types. These vaccines are typically administered to adolescents and young adults before they become sexually active. Safe sexual practices, such as consistent and correct condom use and limiting the number of sexual partners, can also reduce the risk of HPV transmission. Diagnosis of HPV infection can be challenging because the infection is often asymptomatic, especially in men. In women, HPV testing can be done through cervical screening programs, which involve the collection of cervical cells for analysis. Abnormal results may lead to further diagnostic procedures, such as colposcopy or biopsy, to detect precancerous or cancerous changes. Overall, HPV infection is a prevalent sexually transmitted infection with significant implications for public health. Vaccination, regular screening, and early treatment of precancerous lesions are key strategies to reduce the burden of HPV-related diseases and their associated complications. Education and awareness about HPV and its prevention are crucial in promoting optimal sexual health. This study aimed to carry out a literature review considering several aspects involving HPV infection: Global distribution, prevalence, biology, host interactions, cancer development, prevention, therapeutics, coinfection with other viruses, coinfection with bacteria, association with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, and association with anal cancer."
+5739,skin cancer,38666479,Subungual melanoma with cartilaginous differentiation: Molecular insights.,"Melanoma's rare capacity to undergo heterologous differentiation can create significant diagnostic challenges. The molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are not well understood. We present an unusual case of subungual melanoma exhibiting extensive cartilaginous differentiation and provide insights into its molecular and cytogenomic features. Histopathologically, the tumor was predominantly composed of nodules of malignant cartilage in association with a smaller population of nested epithelioid to rhabdoid cells. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells in both components were positive for S100, SOX10, and PRAME, and were negative for Melan-A and HMB-45. Molecular analysis by whole exome DNA sequence did not detect any pathogenic variants in genes commonly implicated in melanoma. Additional analysis by SNP chromosomal microarray revealed a complex genome characterized by numerous chromosomal losses and gains, including a homozygous deletion of the CDKN2A locus and a heterozygous deletion of the locus containing EXT2, a tumor suppressor implicated in hereditary multiple osteochondromas and secondary chondrosarcomas. This case underscores the importance of recognizing cartilaginous differentiation as a rare manifestation of melanoma, particularly at subungual sites, and suggests that at least some of these melanomas may be driven by non-canonical molecular pathways."

Targeting peptide-MHC (pMHC) complex offers a promising strategy for immunotherapy due to their specificity and effectiveness against cancer. In this work, we exploit the acidic tumor micro-environment to selectively deliver antigenic peptides to cancer using pH(low) insertion peptides (pHLIP). We demonstrated the delivery of MHC binding peptides directly to the cytoplasm of melanoma cells resulted in the presentation of antigenic peptides on MHC, and activation of T cells. This work highlights the potential of pHLIP as a vehicle for the targeted delivery of antigenic peptides and its presentation via MHC-bound complexes on cancer cell surface for activation of T cells with implications for enhancing anti-cancer immunotherapy."

+5748,skin cancer,38663270,MICIL: Multiple-Instance Class-Incremental Learning for skin cancer whole slide images.,"Artificial intelligence (AI) agents encounter the problem of catastrophic forgetting when they are trained in sequentially with new data batches. This issue poses a barrier to the implementation of AI-based models in tasks that involve ongoing evolution, such as cancer prediction. Moreover, whole slide images (WSI) play a crucial role in cancer management, and their automated analysis has become increasingly popular in assisting pathologists during the diagnosis process. Incremental learning (IL) techniques aim to develop algorithms capable of retaining previously acquired information while also acquiring new insights to predict future data. Deep IL techniques need to address the challenges posed by the gigapixel scale of WSIs, which often necessitates the use of multiple instance learning (MIL) frameworks. In this paper, we introduce an IL algorithm tailored for analyzing WSIs within a MIL paradigm. The proposed Multiple Instance Class-Incremental Learning (MICIL) algorithm combines MIL with class-IL for the first time, allowing for the incremental prediction of multiple skin cancer subtypes from WSIs within a class-IL scenario. Our framework incorporates knowledge distillation and data rehearsal, along with a novel embedding-level distillation, aiming to preserve the latent space at the aggregated WSI level. Results demonstrate the algorithm's effectiveness in addressing the challenge of balancing IL-specific metrics, such as intransigence and forgetting, and solving the plasticity-stability dilemma."

Detecting NMSC early can significantly improve treatment outcomes and reduce medical costs. Similarly, Actinic Keratosis (AK) is a common skin condition that, if left untreated, can develop into more serious conditions, such as SCC. Hyperspectral imagery is at the forefront of research to develop non-invasive techniques for the study and characterisation of skin lesions. This study aims to investigate the potential of near-infrared hyperspectral imagery in the study and identification of BCC, SCC and AK samples in comparison with healthy skin. Here we use a pushbroom hyperspectral camera with a spectral range of ≈ 900 to 1600 nm for the study of these lesions. For this purpose, an ad hoc platform was developed to facilitate image acquisition. This study employed robust statistical methods for the identification of an optimal spectral window where the different samples could be differentiated. To examine these datasets, we first tested for the homogeneity of sample distributions. Depending on these results, either traditional or robust descriptive metrics were used. This was then followed by tests concerning the homoscedasticity, and finally multivariate comparisons of sample variance. The analysis revealed that the spectral regions between 900.66-1085.38 nm, 1109.06-1208.53 nm, 1236.95-1322.21 nm, and 1383.79-1454.83 nm showed the highest differences in this regard, with <1% probability of these observations being a Type I statistical error.

Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have recently been established to standardize management algorithms. The objective of this study was to appraise such CPGs via the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE II) instrument. Eight CPGs were identified via systematic literature search following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) criteria. Four appraisers trained in AGREE II protocols evaluated each CPG and deemed two CPGs as high quality, five as moderate quality, and one as low quality. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were calculated to verify reviewer consistency as excellent, good, and moderate across four, one, and one domain, respectively. The majority of MCC CPGs are lacking in specifying stakeholder involvement, applicability, and rigor of development. The two high quality CPGs are from the Alberta Health Services (AHS) and the collaboration between the European Dermatology Forum, the European Association of Dermato-Oncology, and the European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer (EDF/EADO/EORTC). The EDF/EADO/EORTC CPG had the highest overall score with no significant deficiencies across any domain. An important limitation is that the AGREE II instrument is not designed to evaluate the validity of each CPG's recommendations; conclusions therefore can only be drawn about each CPG's developmental quality. Future MCC CPGs may benefit from garnering public perspectives, inviting external expert review, and considering available resources and implementation barriers during their developmental stages."

Early detection of melanoma is essential for the successful treatment and prevention of metastasis. In this context, deep learning methods, distinguished by their ability to perform automated and detailed analysis, extracting melanoma-specific features, have emerged. These approaches excel in performing large-scale analysis, optimizing time, and providing accurate diagnoses, contributing to timely treatments compared to conventional diagnostic methods. The present study offers a methodology to assess the effectiveness of an AlexNet-based convolutional neural network (CNN) in identifying early-stage melanomas. The model is trained on a balanced dataset of 10,605 dermoscopic images, and on modified datasets where hair, a potential obstructive factor, was detected and removed allowing for an assessment of how hair removal affects the model's overall performance. To perform hair removal, we propose a morphological algorithm combined with different filtering techniques for comparison: Fourier, Wavelet, average blur, and low-pass filters. The model is evaluated through 10-fold cross-validation and the metrics of accuracy, recall, precision, and the F1 score. The results demonstrate that the proposed model performs the best for the dataset where we implemented both a Wavelet filter and hair removal algorithm.

+5775,skin cancer,38659312,Ex vivo therapeutic screening of metastatic cSCC: A review of methodological considerations for clinical implementation.,"Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common malignancy worldwide, with most deaths caused by locally advanced and metastatic disease. Treatment of resectable metastases is typically limited to invasive surgery with adjuvant radiotherapy; however, many patients fail to respond and there is minimal data to predict response or propose effective alternatives. Precision medicine could improve this, though genomic biomarkers remain elusive in the high mutational background and genomic complexity of cSCC. A phenotypic approach to precision medicine using patient-derived ex vivo tumour models is gaining favour for its capacity to directly assess biological responses to therapeutics as a functional, predictive biomarker. However, the use of ex vivo models for guiding therapeutic selection has yet to be employed for metastatic cSCC. This review will therefore evaluate the existing experimental models of metastatic cSCC and discuss how ex vivo methods could overcome the shortcomings of these existing models. Disease-specific considerations for a prospective methodological pipeline will also be discussed in the context of precision medicine."

We describe a very rare case of MM metastasis to the common bile duct (CBD), presented with only dyspeptic symptoms. The patient had mildly elevated alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transferase levels. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography demonstrated a dilated common bile duct with a distal stricture. The MM diagnosis was established with the ampulla of Vater biopsy specimens obtained by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and the patient's symptoms were resolved after biliary stenting. Both primary CBD cancer and other cancer types like MM that metastasize to CBD can cause obstruction and can be manifested only by dyspeptic symptoms. MM metastasis to CBD can cause obstruction manifested only by dyspeptic symptoms without obstructive jaundice. ERCP can be employed as a promising option for treatment and diagnosis. New-onset dyspeptic symptoms in patients with a history of MM should be investigated thoroughly, especially in the context of biliary metastasis."

The most common site is the gastrointestinal tract, particularly the stomach. On the other hand, primary esophageal lymphomas are extremely rare. MALT lymphomas can undergo histological transformation into more aggressive B-cell lymphomas, such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, resulting in a poor prognosis. This paper reports a rare case of primary esophageal MALT lymphoma mimicking a subepithelial tumor located in the lower esophagus that was treated successfully with radiotherapy. MALT lymphoma should be included in a differential diagnosis when subepithelial tumors are found in the esophagus, particularly if endoscopic ultrasonography reveals the tumor to be located in the deep mucosal and submucosal layers. Following the precise diagnosis, accurate staging and appropriate treatment are crucial. Regular follow-up is necessary to assess the possibility of recurrence or transformation to high-grade lymphoma."

Colorism - the system of inequality that views lighter skin as more advantageous in society - is prevalent in SA culture. This study evaluates motivations of sun protection use, attitudes of colorism, and skin lightening (SL) practices among SA Americans. Two-hundred-four participants recruited from online forums and ResearchMatch completed a questionnaire. Over half (111/204) reported use of sunscreen, of which 39.6% (44/111) reported daily or frequent use. Nearly half of respondents (98/204) believed that they are not at risk for skin cancer, with 37.7% (77/204) reporting minimal knowledge of skin cancers and only 4.9% (10/204) receiving a total body skin exam. One-third (65/204) reported being more concerned about prevention of tanning than skin cancer. In total, 38.2% (78/204) of respondents reported use of SL products, of which 33.3% (26/78) reported hydroquinone-based products and 26.9% (21/78) were unaware of the ingredients in their SL product. Only 16.7% (13/78) consulted a medical professional before using SL products. While many agreed that SA culture places high importance on light skin with regards to beauty standards (82.3%, 168/204), less noted that lighter skin is more beautiful (37.0%, 74/204). SL users more strongly agreed with colorism attitudes than non-users. Limitations include a small sample size with younger participants. Dermatologists must be mindful of the cultural motivations for skin tone preferences, sun protection habits, and SL behaviors and provide culturally relevant education on sunscreen, skin cancer, and risks of SL for the SA community."

A retrospective single-centre cohort study was conducted from 1998 to 2020, including patients diagnosed with invasive melanoma. A total of 2,721 patients were included in the study. The median follow-up was 8.23 years (IQR 4.41-13.25). The median baseline neutrophil- lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio values increased significantly (p < 0.001) with the increasing American Joint Committee on Cancer stage. The optimal cut-off values for neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio were determined as 2.1, 184 and 0.2, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, high levels of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (≥ 2.1), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (≥ 184) and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (≥ 0.2) were independently associated with significantly shorter melanoma-specific survival (neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio: HR 1.30, 95% CI 1.06-1.60, p = 0.013; platelet-lymphocyte ratio: HR 1.37, 95% CI 1.06-1.76, p = 0.014; monocyte- lymphocyte ratio: HR 1.29, 95% CI 1.05-1.58, p = 0.015) and overall survival (neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio: HR 1.39, 95% CI 1.19-1.64, p < 0.001; platelet- lymphocyte ratio: HR 1.44, 95% CI 1.19-1.74, p < 0.001; monocyte-lymphocyte ratio: HR 1.42, 95% CI 1.21-1.66, p < 0.001). High levels of neutrophil- lymphocyte ratio and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio were also associated with poor relapse-free survival, while platelet-lymphocyte ratio was not.

Exposure to ultraviolet radiation on the skin surface increases the risk of cSCC, especially in those with genetic syndromes like xerodermapigmentosum and epidermolysis bullosa. Therefore, understanding the molecular pathogenesis of cSCC is critical for developing personalized treatment approaches that are effective in cSCC. This article provides a comprehensive overview of current knowledge of cSCC pathogenesis, emphasizing dysregulated signaling pathways and the significance of molecular profiling. Several limitations and challenges associated with conventional therapies, however, are identified, stressing the need for novel therapeutic strategies. The article further discusses molecular targets and therapeutic approaches, i.e., epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors, hedgehog pathway inhibitors, and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway inhibitors, as well as emerging molecular targets and therapeutic agents. The manuscript explores resistance mechanisms to molecularly targeted therapies and proposes methods to overcome them, including combination strategies, rational design, and optimization. The clinical implications and patient outcomes of molecular-targeted treatments are assessed, including response rates and survival outcomes. The management of adverse events and toxicities in molecular-targeted therapies is crucial and requires careful monitoring and control. The paper further discusses future directions for therapeutic advancement and research in this area, as well as the difficulties and constraints associated with conventional therapies."

However, clinical application is limited when algorithms are presented with 'untrained' or out-of-distribution lesion categories, often misclassifying benign lesions as malignant, or misclassifying malignant lesions as benign. Another limitation often raised is the lack of clinical context (e.g., medical history) used as input for the AI decision process. The increasing use of Total Body Photography (TBP) in clinical examinations presents new opportunities for AI to perform holistic analysis of the whole patient, rather than a single lesion. Currently there is a lack of existing literature or standards for image annotation of TBP, or on preserving patient privacy during the machine learning process."

Aberrant alterations of meiotic genes, which have gained increased attention recently, might contribute to elevated tumor risks. However, systematic and comprehensive studies based on the relationship between meiotic genes and LUAD recurrence and treatment response are still lacking. In this manuscript, we first confirmed that the meiosis related prognostic model (MRPM) was strongly related to LUAD progression via LASSO-Cox regression analyses. Furthermore, we identified the role of PPP2R1A in LUAD, which showed more contributions to LUAD process compared with other meiotic genes in our prognostic model. Additionally, repression of PPP2R1A enhances cellular susceptibility to nelfinavir-induced apoptosis and pyroptosis. Collectively, our findings indicated that meiosis-related genes might be therapeutic targets in LUAD and provided crucial guidelines for LUAD clinical intervention."

It is estimated that more than 1 million people get skin cancer every year in the world. The effectiveness of the disease's therapy is significantly impacted by early identification of this illness. Preprocessing is the initial detecting stage in enhancing the quality of skin images by removing undesired background noise and objects. This study aims is to compile preprocessing techniques for skin cancer imaging that are currently accessible. Researchers looking into automated skin cancer diagnosis might use this article as an excellent place to start. The fully convolutional encoder-decoder network and Sparrow search algorithm (FCEDN-SpaSA) are proposed in this study for the segmentation of dermoscopic images. The individual wolf method and the ensemble ghosting technique are integrated to generate a neighbour-based search strategy in SpaSA for stressing the correct balance between navigation and exploitation. The classification procedure is accomplished by using an adaptive CNN technique to discriminate between normal skin and malignant skin lesions suggestive of disease. Our method provides classification accuracies comparable to commonly used incremental learning techniques while using less energy, storage space, memory access, and training time (only network updates with new training samples, no network sharing). In a simulation, the segmentation performance of the proposed technique on the ISBI 2017, ISIC 2018, and PH2 datasets reached accuracies of 95.28%, 95.89%, 92.70%, and 98.78%, respectively, on the same dataset and assessed the classification performance.

Self-supervised learning, i.e., MAE, has emerged as a potent force in the medical imaging domain, which autonomously learns and extracts latent features from unlabeled data, thereby yielding pre-trained models that greatly assist downstream tasks. To encourage pre-trained models to more comprehensively learn the global structural and local detail information inherent in dermoscopy images, we introduce a Teacher-Student architecture, named TEDMAE, by incorporating a self-distillation mechanism, it learns holistic image feature information to improve the generalizable global knowledge learning of the student MAE model. To make the image features learned by the model suitable for unknown test images, two optimization strategies are, Exterior Conversion Augmentation (EC) utilizes random convolutional kernels and linear interpolation to effectively transform the input image into one with the same shape but altered intensities and textures, while Dynamic Feature Generation (DF) employs a nonlinear attention mechanism for feature merging, enhancing the expressive power of the features, are proposed to enhance the generalizability of global features learned by the teacher model, thereby improving the overall generalization capability of the pre-trained models.

Previous studies showed that genetic alterations in MVK, PMVK, MVD, or FDPS-genes in the mevalonate pathway-cause hereditary porokeratosis, with skin lesions harboring germline and lesion-specific somatic variants on opposite alleles. Here, we identified non-hereditary porokeratosis associated with epigenetic silencing of FDFT1, another gene in the mevalonate pathway. Skin lesions of the generalized form had germline and lesion-specific somatic variants on opposite alleles in FDFT1, representing FDFT1-associated hereditary porokeratosis identified in this study. Conversely, lesions of the solitary or linearly arranged localized form had somatic bi-allelic promoter hypermethylation or mono-allelic promoter hypermethylation with somatic genetic alterations on opposite alleles in FDFT1, indicating non-hereditary porokeratosis. FDFT1 localization was uniformly diminished within the lesions, and lesion-derived keratinocytes showed cholesterol dependence for cell growth and altered expression of genes related to cell-cycle and epidermal development, confirming that lesions form by clonal expansion of FDFT1-deficient keratinocytes. In some individuals with the localized form, gene-specific promoter hypermethylation of FDFT1 was detected in morphologically normal epidermis adjacent to methylation-related lesions but not distal to these lesions, suggesting that asymptomatic somatic epigenetic mosaicism of FDFT1 predisposes certain skin areas to the disease. Finally, consistent with its genetic etiology, topical statin treatment ameliorated lesions in FDFT1-deficient porokeratosis. In conclusion, we identified bi-allelic genetic and/or epigenetic alterations of FDFT1 as a cause of porokeratosis and shed light on the pathogenesis of skin mosaicism involving clonal expansion of epigenetically altered cells."
+5808,skin cancer,38653237,DrugMap: A quantitative pan-cancer analysis of cysteine ligandability.,"Cysteine-focused chemical proteomic platforms have accelerated the clinical development of covalent inhibitors for a wide range of targets in cancer. However, how different oncogenic contexts influence cysteine targeting remains unknown. To address this question, we have developed ""DrugMap,"" an atlas of cysteine ligandability compiled across 416 cancer cell lines. We unexpectedly find that cysteine ligandability varies across cancer cell lines, and we attribute this to differences in cellular redox states, protein conformational changes, and genetic mutations. Leveraging these findings, we identify actionable cysteines in NF-κB1 and SOX10 and develop corresponding covalent ligands that block the activity of these transcription factors. We demonstrate that the NF-κB1 probe blocks DNA binding, whereas the SOX10 ligand increases SOX10-SOX10 interactions and disrupts melanoma transcriptional signaling. Our findings reveal heterogeneity in cysteine ligandability across cancers, pinpoint cell-intrinsic features driving cysteine targeting, and illustrate the use of covalent probes to disrupt oncogenic transcription-factor activity."

However, even though some innate immune sensors of cellular stress are expressed intrinsically in epithelial cells, their potential role in cancer aggressiveness and subsequent overall survival in humans is mainly unknown. Here, we show that nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor (NLR) family CARD domain-containing 4 (NLRC4) is downregulated in epithelial tumor cells of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) by using spatial tissue imaging. Strikingly, only the loss of tumor NLRC4, but not stromal NLRC4, was associated with poor immune infiltration (mainly DCs and CD4+ and CD8+ T cells) and accurately predicted progression to metastatic stage IV and decrease in overall survival. By combining multiomics approaches, we show that restoring NLRC4 expression in human CRC cells triggered a broad inflammasome-independent immune reprogramming consisting of type I interferon (IFN) signaling genes and the release of chemokines and myeloid growth factors involved in the tumor infiltration and activation of DCs and T cells. Consistently, such reprogramming in cancer cells was sufficient to directly induce maturation of human DCs toward a Th1 antitumor immune response through IL-12 production in vitro. In multiple human carcinomas (colorectal, lung, and skin), we confirmed that NLRC4 expression in patient tumors was strongly associated with type I IFN genes, immune infiltrates, and high microsatellite instability. Thus, we shed light on the epithelial innate immune sensor NLRC4 as a therapeutic target to promote an efficient antitumor immune response against the aggressiveness of various carcinomas."

+5812,skin cancer,38651851,Skin Changes in Suspected Lyme Disease.,"Dear Editor, Ticks carry many diseases, bacteria, and viruses and represent a very important healthcare issue both in Croatia and globally. Although most ticks are not infected with pathogens dangerous to humans, some ticks can transmit infectious diseases with significant morbidity and mortality. This is caused by the increasing incidence of many tick-borne diseases over a growing geographical area. Many factors influence which species of ticks are present in a given geographical area, as well as the density of their population and the risk of human exposure to infected ticks. The average morbidity from Lyme borreliosis in the Republic of Croatia is 6.51 infected per 100,000 inhabitants. There can be no Lyme borreliosis without ticks infected by Borrelia burgdorferi (1,2). In Europe, Lyme borreliosis (LB) is caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex genotype. There are three skin manifestations of LB: erythema migrans (EM), borrelial lymphocytoma (BL), and acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (ACA) (3,4). Herein we describe a female patient with a diagnosis of Lyme disease based on the non-specific clinical picture and laboratory diagnostics, in whom successful treatment led to complete regression of all skin manifestations. The patient was a 58-year-old woman with no previous history of severe illness. Notably, the patient history showed that, eight months prior to presenting for the dermatological exam, the patient had observed the appearance of edema and demarcated macular exanthema around both ankles and subsequently on the dorsum of the right hand, which spread to the left hand and with gradual spread to both lower legs and the lower extremities, with more pronounced changes on the left leg. The initial dermatological examination found pronounced skin changes on both legs, especially the left leg, with erythematous changes in the form of figurate erythema forming confluences up to the size of a smaller palm; the skin of the left leg was partially mottled with normal turgor and elasticity (Figure 1a and Figure 1b). Inguinal lymph nodes were enlarged and painless on palpation. Changes were minimal and discrete on the right leg and were absent on the torso, upper extremities, and skin. Subjectively, there was no itching, burning, or tingling sensation in the affected areas of the skin. The patient subjectively reported feeling well. Family history showed that the patient's father had died from prostate cancer and that the mother had died from melanoma. Laboratory findings were as follows: hematological, biochemical, and immunological parameters were normal. Venous and arterial ultrasound of both legs was normal, with the presence of reactively enlarged left inguinal lymph nodes. Lyme disease was suspected based on the clinical picture, with a differential diagnosis of possible livedo reticularis. A biopsy of the skin changes was also performed, with the results showing that the histological picture in the examined material could be compatible with the provisional clinical diagnosis of livedo reticularis. IgM and IgG specific for Borrelia burgdorferi was also performed: IgG was borderline, whereas IgM was positive at 218 U/mL. Over the next 3 weeks, Amoxil 500 mg thrice daily was introduced to the treatment. After completion of the treatment, there was a gradual regression of all skin changes without the appearance of new lesions (Figure 2a and Figure 2b) (Figure 3a and Figure 3b). Patient follow-up over the next year did not find any recurrence of similar skin changes. Herein we have described the case of a patient with atypical skin changes in which the presence of antibodies for Borrelia burgdorferi was demonstrated, in which regression of all skin manifestations was achieved after diagnosis and adequate antibiotic treatment. Lyme disease has a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations that can generally be observed in three stages: the early localized stage, the early disseminated stage, and the late stage of the disease. However, it is also possible for the different stages to overlap and even for the late stage to manifest without any signs and symptoms of the earlier stages. Early localized stage. Characterized by skin changes - erythema migrans (EM) - usually manifests within a month of the tick bite (usually 7-14 days after the bite) (Figure 4 and Figure 5). EM manifests in approximately 80% of patients, but only 25% of patients can recall the tick bite. The skin changes are usually localized in the axilla, the groin, the cubital area, or around the waist. The changes are generally not painful, but can itch or be warm to the touch. They gradually spread over days or weeks and can grow to a radius of up to 20 cm. Initially, the coloration can be uniform for several days, after which the redness disappears around a central zone (4-6). Multiple skin changes are a sign of spirochetemia and not the result of multiple tick bites. Due to timely antimicrobial treatment, multiple skin changes are much rarer today. In the initial days or weeks after infection, patients with early, localized, or disseminated Lyme disease often present with non-specific signs and symptoms resembling a viral infection: fatigue, headache, loss of appetite, joint pain, and regional lymphadenopathy. Fever can be present in approximately 20% of patients. Laboratory findings in this phase are non-specific. Erythrocyte sedimentation can be slightly increased, leukocyte counts are mostly normal, and anemia and thrombocytopenia are present only rarely (7,8). Early disseminated stage. This stage is marked by numerous EM lesions (that generally appear days or weeks after the infection) and/or neurological and/or cardiac manifestations (occurring weeks or months after infection). Some of these patients have no data on the presence of early localized Lyme disease. The most common triad of neurological manifestations are meningitis, neuropathy (usually of the facial nerve) and motor or sensory radiculopathy (Bannwarth syndrome). All these manifestations can appear individually. Cranial nerve neuropathies can often be bilateral. Late-stage Lyme disease. Characterized by intermittent or permanent arthritis in one joint or several large joints, most commonly the knees, and/or more rarely by neurological symptoms such as discrete encephalopathy or polyneuropathy. Late-stage Lyme disease can develop several years after primary infection, and arthritis can be the first manifestation of the disease, with the early localized and early disseminated stages not manifesting at all. In Europe, patients with late-stage Lyme disease can present with chronic skin changes (acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans), which is not observed in the USA. It is caused by B. afzelii and is typically localized to the extensor surfaces of the hands and feet. It is most common in women >40 years of age but can also present in younger populations. However, due to early antimicrobial treatment of the earlier stages of the disease, late-stage manifestations are rare (9). The discovery of the etiology of this disease showed that some well-known clinical entities were also a manifestation of Borrelia infection. The etiology of other dermatologic diseases was thus determined, such as lymphocytoma (or lymphadenosis cutis benigna), which was recognized as an entity as early as 1884, as well as acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans, described in 1888, erythema chronicum migrans (Afzelius-Lipschütz), and the neurological disease called Bannwarth syndrome, the symptoms of which were described as early as 1922 (10,11). LB and all its dermatological manifestations occur in almost all European countries, predominantly in the central part of the continent. The annual incidence is between 9.4 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in France to 120 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in northeastern Poland, 130 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in Austria, and 155 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in Slovenia (12). The total prevalence of ACA in all European patients with LB is 1-10%, depending on the region. For example, BL and ACA comprise 0.3% of LB cases in Bulgaria. In Norway, ACA comprises 5% of all clinical LB cases, and in northern Italy that number is 2.5%. Establishing a diagnosis of ACA is much more difficult than diagnosing EM or benign lymphocytoma (BL) because the clinical manifestations of ACA can vary. Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans is probably the most common late and chronic manifestation of LB that can be observed in European patients. The skin changes in our patient were fairly non-specific, based on descriptions from the literature, but positivity for IgM antibodies was important for establishing the diagnosis, along with the very good response to antibiotics regarding regression of skin changes as well as the histological analysis that, according to the pathohistological diagnosis, indicated livedo reticularis, which is in turn also described in the literature as a possible form of ACA depending on the stage of the disease. Skin changes on the lower extremities are often incorrectly interpreted as vascular insufficiency, e.g. chronic venous insufficiency, superficial thrombophlebitis, hypostatic eczema, obliterative arterial disease, acrocyanosis, livedo reticularis, or lymphoedema, but they can also be the result of ACA, as in our case (13-15). In cases such as the one we have described, clinical manifestations of Lyme disease can very often vary and differ greatly from the typical clinical picture. This is demonstrated by our case, which also shows that LB and its idiosyncratic manifestations can lead physicians astray in a condition where failing to establish a timely diagnosis can be fatal for the patient. This case report also serves as a reminder that Lyme disease should be considered whenever atypical skin changes are encountered. Given that ACA is a disease in the late stage of Lyme disease and that the changes in our patient were noticed at the very beginning, the disease did not develop to the later stage."
+5813,skin cancer,38651850,Mycosis fungoides with large cell transformation (CD30+) and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.,"Mycosis fugnoides (MF) is an indolent cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTLC) and is the most common of all cutaneous lymphomas. An increased risk for developing a second primary malignancy in patients with CTCL has been described in several studies, with a range from 1.04 to 2.4 (1-4). Caucasian males are at higher risk for MF development. MF is often diagnosed at ages between 55 and 67 years, and second malignancy usually occurs 5 or 6 years after the diagnosis of MF was established (5). The most common second primary malignancies include non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), lung carcinoma, bladder carcinoma, and melanoma. Even though a higher incidence rate of all NHL was described in patients with MF (15/1000) in comparison with the general population (0.32/1000), there are still only a few cases of B-cell NHL following MF described in the literature (6,7). We describe a rare case of a patient with MF and simultaneous large cell transformation (LCT) and a small B-cell lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). In 2017, an 82-year-old man previously treated for MF presented with two fast growing tumorous lesions with ulceration on the right tight (Figure 1). A biopsy was performed, and a diagnosis of MF with LCT was established (Figure 2). During hospitalization, mild leukocytosis (12.2 x109 L-1), lymphocytosis (64%, total count of 7.81 x109 L-1), and anemia were found. Bone marrow biopsy was not performed due to low pain threshold. Bone marrow aspirate showed 70% of atypical lymphocytes and few ""smudged"" cells. Immunophenotyping by flow cytometry detected 49% monoclonal kappa+ B-cells with phenotypic features typical for B-CLL (CD5+, CD23+, kappa +). Of overall bone marrow cells, the ratio of monoclonal kappa + B-cells with the B-CLL phenotype was 21%. Immunophenotyping of peripheral blood showed up to 50% monoclonal kappa+ B-cells with phenotypic features typical for B-CLL (CD5+, CD23+, kappa +). Of overall peripheral blood cells, the ratio of monoclonal kappa+ B-cells with the B-CLL phenotype was 28%. Multi-sliced computed tomography was within normal ranges. A flow cytometry showed lymphocytes with phenotypic findings for CD20+ B-CLL. A diagnosis of MF with LCT (CD30+) clinical grade IIB (T3, N0, M0) and B-CLL was established. The patient was treated with fractionated superficial irradiation that resulted in applanation and regression of the tumorous lesions. No hematologic treatment was indicated other than regular follow-up. On dermatologic follow up for 2 years, the patient was stable, with no active skin lesions and no progression of MF. The patient was subsequently lost to follow-up. This is a rare case of MF with LCT and B-CLL occurring simultaneously. Large cell transformation in patients with MF can occur in 20-55% of advanced MF, as in our case, and this something physicians must be aware of, so repeated biopsies are advised (8). We also should keep in mind that patients with MF are at higher risk of developing a second malignancy. Of those second malignancies, a coexistence of lymphoproliferative disorders in two lineages, T-cell and B-cell, such as CTCL and B-CLL, is very uncommon, and only a few cases have been published (6,7,10). In most of these cases, CTCL preceded B-CLL, and with the only established explanation being increased risk of second malignancy in patients with CTCL (3,5,10). Other explanatory hypotheses include neoplastic stem cells, a genetic predisposition to malignancy, the use of immunosuppressive agents for the treatment for a first neoplasm, viral agents, and modulation of the B-cell system by monoclonal T-cell proliferation (1,5,6,9,10). Regular follow-up is mandatory for all patients with CTCL as well as MF, in order to identify the disease progression but for the timely detection of second malignancies."

The risk factors for basal cell carcinoma development are well-known, but it remains unclear in which setting the tumor restricts itself to the dermal compartment. We present the fifth known case of subepidermal basal cell carcinoma. However, this particular presentation is unique due to arising beneath a capillary malformation. The patient had previously undergone multiple laser treatments which yielded no success. Initially, the vascular malformation was removed and sent for histopathological diagnosis. After the discovery of basal cell carcinoma, wide surgical resection was performed. The patient had no recurrence up to the last follow-up at 18 months postoperatively. This case demonstrates a new presentation of a very rare condition, but also highlights the importance of histopathological examination and the need for future research on any possible association between laser therapy and carcinogenesis."

The technique provides reliable vascular supply, robust tissue volume for excision, minimal invasiveness to the donor site, with direct closure and concealment of the said site. This paper embarks on an elaborate elucidation of the DIEP surgical procedure, pivoting on the analytical exploration of a particular instance where necrosis of the skin flap occurred following immediate DIEP breast reconstruction in a patient diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. This patient had previously undergone Nipple Areola Complex Sparing Mastectomy (NSM). We endeavor to extrapolate insights from this singular case of post-NSM DIEP breast reconstruction failure and correlate our findings with current literature dedicated to similar instances of surgical failure in DIEP breast reconstruction."

+5821,skin cancer,38650736,Research progress on the microbiota in bladder cancer tumors.,"The microbiota, also referred to as the microbial community, is a crucial component of the human microenvironment. It is located predominantly in various organs, including the intestines, skin, oral cavity, respiratory tract, and reproductive tract. The microbiota maintains a symbiotic relationship with the human body, influencing physiological and pathological functions to a significant degree. There is increasing evidence linking the microbial flora to human cancers. In contrast to the traditional belief that the urethra and urine of normal individuals are sterile, recent advancements in high-throughput sequencing technology and bacterial cultivation methods have led to the discovery of specific microbial communities in the urethras of healthy individuals. Given the prevalence of bladder cancer (BCa) as a common malignancy of the urinary system, researchers have shifted their focus to exploring the connection between disease development and the unique microbial community within tumors. This shift has led to a deeper investigation into the role of microbiota in the onset, progression, metastasis, prognosis, and potential for early detection of BCa. This article reviews the existing research on the microbiota within BCa tumors and summarizes the findings regarding the roles of different microbes in various aspects of this disease."

+5827,skin cancer,38650494,Melanoma epidemiology in Europe: what is new?,"Every year in Europe over 150,000 new cases of melanoma are reported and over 25,000 lives are lost to this tumor. Incidence has been rising rapidly, faster than for any other cancer, and it is expected to continue to do so in most regions. Mortality also crept up, decades-long, with only few very recent exceptions. Thus, melanoma remains a public health problem that will not go away soon, nor easy. Some notable progress has been made in the last decade in the fight against this tumor. Registration and reporting for skin cancers improved across Europe. Incidence trends have begun to plateau or even to descend in younger age groups, in some countries, and there are encouraging signs that mortality might do the same, after the recent therapeutic breakthroughs. Survival rates are on average above 80% at 5 years for European patients, while diagnosis trends toward ever thinner tumors. Yet this progress is far from uniform across the continent, with many Southern-and Eastern European countries still struggling with sub-optimal cancer reporting, delayed access to innovative treatments, late detection and insufficient healthcare funding, that push survival rates down to harrowing 50%. This article aims to give an updated overview of the epidemiological situation of melanoma in Europe, highlighting the progress but also the persisting disparities in tumor burden, prognosis and access to quality cancer care and surveillance between European countries, as a reminder that relentless efforts must continue in order to tackle this aggressive tumor in an effective and equitable manner."

The management of patients with cSCC is a multistep approach, starting with the correct diagnosis. The two main diagnostic goals are to differentiate from other possible diagnoses and correctly recognize the lesion as cSCC, and then to determine the tumor spread (perform staging), that is if the patient has a common primary cSCC or a locally advanced cSCC, or a metastatic cSCC (with in-transit, regional lymph nodal, or rarely distant metastasis). The multistep diagnostic approach begins with the clinical characteristics of the primary cSCC, it is complemented with features with dermoscopy and, if available, reflectance confocal microscopy and is confirmed with histopathology. The tumor spread is assessed by physical examination and, in some cases, ultrasound and/or computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, mainly to investigate for regional lymph node metastasis or for local infiltration into deeper structures. In the last step, the clinical, histologic and radiologic findings are incorporated into staging systems."

We aimed to establish a histopathologic protocol for estimating intraepidermal nerve fiber density (eIENFD) on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE), evaluate its reliability through intraobserver and interobserver analyses, and provide normative reference values for clinical use. Sixty-eight healthy participants underwent nerve conduction studies and quantitative sensory testing. Skin biopsies from the distal and proximal leg were taken and processed using routine immunohistochemistry (anti-PGP9.5 antibodies) on thin 5 µm sections. eIENFD was assessed with a modified counting protocol. Interobserver and intraobserver reliabilities were excellent (ICC=0.9). eIENFD was higher in females than males (fibers/mm, 14.3±4.4 vs. 11.6±5.8, P <0.05), decreased with age ( r s =-0.47, P <0.001), and was higher proximally than distally (15.0±5.5 vs. 13.0±5.3, P =0.002). Quantile regression equations for the fifth percentile of distal and proximal eIENFD were presented: 13.125-0.161×age (y)-0.932×sex (male=1; female=0) and 17.204-0.192×age (y)-3.313×sex (male=1; female=0), respectively. This study introduces a reliable and reproducible method for estimating epidermal nerve fiber density through immunostaining on 5-µm thin FFPE tissue samples. Normative data on eIENFD is provided.

+5830,skin cancer,38650128,The therapeutic effects of ADSCs on photoaging of skin induced by UVB irradiation.,"Skin photoaging affects appearance and is associated with a variety of skin diseases, even skin cancer. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of skin photoaging is very important. However, there is a lack of effective evaluation methods, so it is an urgent problem to explore a comprehensive, non-invasive and in vivo evaluation method. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) are widely used to improve skin conditions as easier to obtain and positive effects. Recently, as the development of ultrasound technology, skin ultrasound has been widely used. Changes in skin layer and structure can be observed by high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS). In addition, Shear wave elastography (SWE) technology can be used to monitor the change of skin hardness. However, it is necessary to further explore the ultrasound parameters in interpreting histological changes. We simulate the progression and treatment process of human skin photoaging by using UVB-induced nude mice skin photoaging model and ADSCs injection. The analysis of the degree and therapeutic effect of skin photoaging was conducted by HFUS, SWE and to verify with histopathology. Our study aims to clarify the value of HFUS combined SWE techniques in evaluating the degree and therapeutic efficacy of skin photoaging, which provides theoretical basis for diagnosis and treatment evaluation systems."

It exerts its immunosuppressive effects by inhibiting calcineurin-mediated dephosphorylation of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), thus preventing its nuclear entry and suppressing T cell activation. Here we report an unexpected immunostimulatory effect of cyclosporin A in activating the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), a crucial metabolic hub required for T cell activation.

+5832,skin cancer,38649745,Cell death as an architect of adult skin stem cell niches.,"Our skin provides a physical and immunological barrier against dehydration and environmental insults ranging from microbial attacks, toxins and UV irradiation to wounding. Proper functioning of the skin barrier largely depends on the interplay between keratinocytes- the epithelial cells of the skin- and immune cells. Two spatially distinct populations of keratinocyte stem cells (SCs) maintain the epidermal barrier function and the hair follicle. These SCs are inherently long-lived, but cell death can occur within their niches and impacts their functionality. The default cell death programme in skin is apoptosis, an orderly and non-inflammatory suicide programme. However, recent findings are shedding light on the significance of various modes of regulated necrotic cell death, which are lytic and can provoke inflammation within the local skin environment. While the presence of dying cells was generally regarded as a mere consequence of inflammation, findings in various human dermatological conditions and experimental mouse models of aberrant cell death control demonstrated that cell death programmes in keratinocytes (KCs) can drive skin inflammation and even tumour initiation. When cells die, they need to be removed by phagocytosis and KCs can function as non-professional phagocytes of apoptotic cells with important implications for their SC capacities. It is becoming apparent that in conditions of heightened SC activity, distinct cell death modalities differentially impact the different skin SC populations in their local niches. Here, we describe how regulated cell death modalities functionally affect epidermal SC niches along with their relevance to injury repair, inflammatory skin disorders and cancer."

+5834,skin cancer,38649621,"Merkel Cell Carcinoma: Integrating Epidemiology, Immunology, and Therapeutic Updates.","Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare skin cancer characterized by neuroendocrine differentiation. Its carcinogenesis is based either on the integration of the Merkel cell polyomavirus or on ultraviolet (UV) mutagenesis, both of which lead to high immunogenicity either through the expression of viral proteins or neoantigens. Despite this immunogenicity resulting from viral or UV-associated carcinogenesis, it exhibits highly aggressive behavior. However, owing to the rarity of MCC and the lack of epidemiologic registries with detailed clinical data, there is some uncertainty regarding the spontaneous course of the disease. Historically, advanced MCC patients were treated with conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy yielding a median response duration of only 3 months. Starting in 2017, four programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) immune checkpoint inhibitors-avelumab, pembrolizumab, nivolumab (utilized in both neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings), and retifanlimab-have demonstrated efficacy in treating patients with disseminated MCC on the basis of prospective clinical trials. However, generating clinical evidence for rare cancers, such as MCC, is challenging owing to difficulties in conducting large-scale trials, resulting in small sample sizes and therefore lacking statistical power. Thus, to comprehensively understand the available clinical evidence on various immunotherapy approaches for MCC, we also delve into the epidemiology and immune biology of this cancer. Nevertheless, while randomized studies directly comparing immune checkpoint inhibitors and chemotherapy in MCC are lacking, immunotherapy shows response rates comparable to those previously reported with chemotherapy but with more enduring responses. Notably, adjuvant nivolumab has proven superiority to the standard-of-care therapy (observation) in the adjuvant setting."

Tracking tumor-specific immune responses in these models requires reagents to perform species-specific single cell T cell receptor sequencing (scTCRseq). scTCRseq and integration with scRNA data have not been demonstrated on companion dogs with cancer. Here, five healthy dogs, two dogs with T cell lymphoma and four dogs with melanoma are selected to demonstrate applicability of scTCRseq in a cancer immunotherapy setting. Single-cell suspensions of PBMCs or lymph node aspirates are profiled using scRNA and dog-specific scTCRseq primers. In total, 77,809 V(D)J-expressing cells are detected, with an average of 3498 (348 - 5,971) unique clonotypes identified per sample. In total, 29/34, 40/40, 22/22 and 9/9 known functional TRAV, TRAJ, TRBV and TRBJ gene segments are observed respectively. Pseudogene or otherwise defective gene segments are also detected supporting re-annotation of several as functional. Healthy dogs exhibit highly diverse repertoires, T cell lymphomas exhibit clonal repertoires, and vaccine-treated melanoma dogs are dominated by a small number of highly abundant clonotypes. scRNA libraries define large clusters of V(D)J-expressing CD8+ and CD4 + T cells. Dominant clonotypes observed in melanoma PBMCs are predominantly CD8 + T cells, with activated phenotypes, suggesting possible anti-tumor T cell populations."
+5836,skin cancer,38649394,Malignant features of minipig melanomas prior to spontaneous regression.,"In MeLiM minipigs, melanomas develop around birth, can metastasize, and have histopathologic characteristics similar to humans. Interestingly, MeLiM melanomas eventually regress. This favorable outcome raises the question of their malignancy, which we investigated. We clinically followed tens of tumors from onset to first signs of regression. Transcriptome analysis revealed an enrichment of all cancer hallmarks in melanomas, although no activating or suppressing somatic mutation were found in common driver genes. Analysis of tumor cell genomes revealed high mutation rates without UV signature. Canonical proliferative, survival and angiogenic pathways were detected in MeLiM tumor cells all along progression stages. Functionally, we show that MeLiM melanoma cells are capable to grow in immunocompromised mice, with serial passages and for a longer time than in MeLiM pigs. Pigs set in place an immune response during progression with dense infiltration by myeloid cells while melanoma cells are deficient in B2M expression. To conclude, our data on MeLiM melanomas reveal several malignancy characteristics. The combination of these features with the successful spontaneous regression of these tumors make it an outstanding model to study an efficient anti-tumor immune response."

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote progression of cancer, but their role in cSCC is largely unknown. We examined the potential of CAF markers in the assessment of metastasis risk and prognosis of primary cSCC. We utilized multiplexed fluorescence immunohistochemistry for profiling CAF landscape in metastatic and non-metastatic primary human cSCCs, in metastases, and in premalignant epidermal lesions. Quantitative high-resolution image analysis was performed with two separate panels of antibodies for CAF markers and results were correlated with clinical and histopathological parameters including disease-specific mortality. Increased stromal expression of fibroblast activation protein (FAP), α-smooth muscle actin, and secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) were associated with progression to invasive cSCC. Elevation of FAP and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β (PDGFRβ) expression was associated with metastasis risk of primary cSCCs. High expression of PDGFRβ and periostin correlated with poor prognosis. Multimarker combination defined CAF subset, PDGFRα-/PDGFRβ+/FAP+, was associated with invasion and metastasis, and independently predicted poor disease-specific survival. These results identify high PDGFRβ expression alone and multimarker combination PDGFRα-/PDGFRβ+/FAP+ by CAFs as potential biomarkers for risk of metastasis and poor prognosis."

It is usually seen in chronic lymphedema of the upper limbs postmastectomy. Angiosarcoma developing in the lower limb in the setting of chronic lymphedema is rare and has a poor outcome. The presentation of angiosarcoma can vary, ranging from a bleeding papule to a plaque or a subcutaneous mass, which can later progress to ulceration or necrosis. Treatment for Stewart-Treves syndrome is aggressive because of its poor prognosis and usually requires a multidisciplinary approach of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Several theories have been put forth to explain the mechanism of Stewart-Treves syndrome, but it remains ambiguous. The current literature regarding angiosarcoma developing in the setting of chronic lymphedema in the lower limb is limited to single case reports. Herein, the authors report a series of six cases of biopsy-proven angiosarcoma in the setting of lower extremity lymphedema. Providers should include angiosarcoma in the differential diagnosis of ulcerative or vascular tumors arising in the context of lower extremity lymphedema."

These complications manifest as burning pain in tattooed skin areas, occasionally with swelling and redness, often leading to termination of the scanning. The exact cause is unclear, but iron oxide pigments in permanent make-up or elements in carbon black tattoos may play a role. Additionally, factors like tattoo age, design, and color may influence reactions. The existing literature lacks comprehensive evidence, leaving many questions unanswered. CASE REPORT We present the unique case of a young man who experienced recurring painful reactions in a recently applied black tattoo during multiple MRI scans. Despite the absence of ferrimagnetic ingredients in the tattoo ink, the patient reported intense burning sensations along with transient erythema and edema. Interestingly, the severity of these reactions gradually decreased over time, suggesting a time-dependent factor contributing to the problem. This finding highlights the potential influence of pigment particle density in the skin on the severity and risk of MRI interactions. We hypothesize that the painful sensations could be triggered by excitation of dermal C-fibers by conductive elements in the tattoo ink, likely carbon particles. CONCLUSIONS Our case study highlights that MRI-induced tattoo reactions may gradually decrease over time. While MRI scans occasionally can cause transient reactions in tattoos, they do not result in permanent skin damage and remain a safe and essential diagnostic tool. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind these reactions and explore preventive measures."

The subcritical water extracts obtained from two varieties, Native and Pawnee, were analyzed for their phenolic contents and compositions. Effects of the extracts on viability and IC50 of the human cell lines representing a broad range of cancer types, cervical, lung, skin, breast, colon and prostate cancers, were investigated. Although the effect of the temperature on the phenolic contents and compositions of the extracts was not statistically significant, the influence of the variety was extensive. The pecan shell extracts were not cytotoxic to the healthy cell line Vero in the concentration range examined. Some of the pecan shell extracts had greater efficay than Doxorubicin, a drug used in cancer chemotherapy, in reducing cancer cell viability. This study is novel and practical implications of the data generated in this study are noteworthy, because this is the first report on the beneficial effects of subcritical water extracts obtained from pecan shelling industry byproducts on a broad range of cancer cell lines. It is likely that the experimental data presented in this study will support and encourage future research on the biological pathways involved in the interactions of the cancer cells and the extracts. The findings of this study will facilitate research on downstream processing and purification of the crude extracts exhibiting high cancer cell cytotoxcity, potentially improving the final product efficacy and lead to commercial applications."

Reports of cutaneous RS remain exceedingly rare. We report a 61-year-old woman with relapsed/refractory CLL presenting with several subcutaneous nodules on her arms and legs and a single dermal plaque on her abdomen. Skin biopsy revealed a diagnosis of DLBCL, ABC-type, and her clinical status rapidly deteriorated following diagnosis. We review the variety of clinical presentations of cutaneous RS, its association with CLL, risk factors for RS development in CLL patients, and the distinctive histopathologic and immunophenotypic features of DLBCL. We hope to highlight the importance of prompt skin biopsy in patients with CLL presenting with progressive skin lesions and increase awareness of this aggressive clinical syndrome."

The purpose of this study was to assess whether mTOR pathway activation occurs in BCCs (both sporadic and syndromic) and report a case of a patient with Gorlin syndrome (GS) whose clinically suspicious BCCs responded to mTOR inhibition through topical sirolimus treatment. After Stanford Institutional Review Board Approval, archived BCCs from patients with GS (n = 25), sporadic BCCs (n = 35), and control tissues were subjected to immunohistochemical analysis for the activation of mTOR pathway, and immunohistochemical staining intensity was evaluated by a dermatopathologist. BCCs (compared with normal skin) had elevated levels of eIF4EBP1 ( Padjusted = 0.0336), which is downstream of mTOR. a serine/threonine kinase Phospho-(AKT), which interacts with mTOR, was also significantly elevated (perinuclear: Padjusted < 0.0001; cytoplasmic: Padjusted = 0.0021). When off-label topical 1% sirolimus was used on a pediatric patient with GS, we noted reduction of new BCC development and decreased size of existing neoplasms clinically suspicious for BCCs. This treatment was well tolerated after 2 years of continuous use, with no other treatments needed during this period. Topical sirolimus is a promising therapeutic candidate against both sporadic and GS-associated BCC. Multicenter, prospective studies are needed to understand the efficacy and safety of topical mTOR inhibitors in BCC treatment, and ascertain whether the immunohistochemical markers downstream of mTOR could have predictive value in identifying BCCs most likely to respond to topical mTOR inhibitors, such as sirolimus."

This study investigated the significance of CDKN2A and MTAP alterations in EMPD progression using immunohistochemistry and panel DNA sequencing. In total, 24 invasive/metastatic EMPD cases were included in this study. The immunoexpression of p16 and MTAP in the primary in situ, primary invasive, and metastatic tumor components was evaluated. Panel DNA sequencing was performed for metastatic tumor components in 5 of the 24 cases. Immunoexpression of p16 in the in situ tumor component was at least partially preserved in all 19 tested cases (100%). By contrast, the invasive tumor component was diffusely or partially lost in 18 (81.8%) of 22 tested cases. Regarding the foci of lymph node metastasis, 13 (81.2%) of the 16 patients showed a significant loss of p16 expression. Loss of MTAP immunoexpression was observed less frequently compared with the loss of p16 expression. CDKN2A homozygous deletions were confirmed in all 5 tested cases by sequencing, whereas MTAP deletions were detected in only 2 cases. In conclusion, p16 expression loss and CDKN2A deletions can be frequently seen in invasive/metastatic cases of EMPD."

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) can be effective prognostic markers in numerous human neoplasms and are increasingly investigated in dogs. The aim of this study was to characterize immune cells in canine MCTs and their relationship with histological location (cutaneous, subcutaneous) and histologic nodal metastatic status (HN0-3). Thirty-eight MCTs (26 cutaneous, 12 subcutaneous) from 33 dogs with known sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastatic status were immunolabeled for Iba1 (macrophages), CD20 (B cells), CD3 (T cells), and Foxp3 (regulatory T cells). Semiquantitative scoring of interstitial and perivascular CD3+, CD20+, and Foxp3+ cells and morphological evaluation of Iba1+ cells were performed. For each marker, the percent immunopositive area was evaluated by image analysis. All MCTs were diffusely infiltrated by Iba1+ cells and variably infiltrated by CD20+, CD3+, and rare Foxp3+ cells. Stellate/spindle Iba1+ cells were associated with HN2 and HN3 SLNs. Perivascular Foxp3+ cells, CD3+ cells, and percent CD3+ areas were increased in subcutaneous MCTs. Interstitial CD3+ cells were increased in cutaneous MCTs with HN0 SLNs. No differences in CD20+ cells were identified between cutaneous and subcutaneous MCTs and among SLN classes. MCTs were markedly infiltrated by TAMs and variably infiltrated by TILs. Stellate/spindle morphology of TAMs associated with HN2 and HN3 SLNs is suggestive of a pro-tumoral (M2) phenotype. Cutaneous and subcutaneous MCTs have different tumor-immune microenvironments, and T-cell infiltration might contribute to prevention of nodal metastatic spread of cutaneous MCTs."

These disorders cause impairment of the immune environment, which leads to severe infections and/or sepsis due to dysbiosis. In this study, we elucidated the host-microbial interaction in CTCL that occurs during the phototherapeutic treatment regime and determined whether modulation of the skin microbiota could beneficially affect the course of CTCL. EL4 T-cell lymphoma cells were intradermally grafted on the back of C57BL/6 mice.

The Taiwan Blood and Marrow Transplantation Registry collects clinical information to gather everyone's experience and promote the advances of HSCT in Taiwan to gather everyone's experience and promote advances of HSCT in Taiwan. Compared with matched sibling donors, transplants from matched unrelated donors exhibited a trend of superior survival. In Taiwan, transplant donors showed remarkable growth from unrelated (24.8%) and haploidentical (10.5%) donors. The number of older patients (17.4%; aged ≥61 years) who underwent transplantation has increased markedly. This review summarizes several significant developments in HSCT treatment in Taiwan. First, the use of Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) and intravenous busulfan regimens were important risk factors for predicting hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome. Second, a new, machine learning-based risk prediction scoring system for posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder has identified five risk factors: aplastic anemia, partially mismatched related donors, fludarabine use, ATG use, and acute skin graft-versus-host disease. Third, although the incidence of idiopathic pneumonia syndrome was low (1.1%), its mortality rate was high (58.1%). Fourth, difficult-to-treat mantle cell and T-cell lymphomas treated with autologous HSCT during earlier remission had higher survival rates. Fifth, treatment of incurable multiple myeloma with autologous HSCT showed a median progression-free survival and overall survival of 46.5 and 70.4 months, respectively. Sixth, different haploidentical transplantation strategies were compared. Seventh, caution should be taken in administering allogeneic HSCT treatment in older patients with myeloid leukemia with a Charlson Comorbidity Index ≥3 because of a higher risk of nonrelapse mortality."

The study of mechanical stress on health and aging is a continuously growing field, as major changes to the extracellular matrix and cell-to-cell adhesions can result in dramatic changes to tissue stiffness during aging and diseased conditions. For example, during normal aging, many tissues including the ovaries, skin, blood vessels, and heart exhibit increased stiffness, which can result in a significant reduction in function of that organ. As such, numerous model systems have recently emerged to study the impact of mechanical and physical stress on cell and tissue health, including cell-culture conditions with matrigels and other surfaces that alter substrate stiffness and ex vivo tissue models that can apply stress directly to organs like muscle or tendons.

Both the oxidized disulfide of αLA and its reduced form (dihydrolipoic acid, DHLA) exhibit prominent antioxidant function. The amount of αLA inside the human body gradually decreases with age resulting in various health disorders. Its lack can be compensated by supplying from external sources such as dietary supplements or medicinal dosage forms. The primary objectives of this study were the analysis of updated information on the latest two-decade research regarding the use of αLA from an anti-aging perspective. The information was collected from PubMed, Wiley Online Library, Scopus, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Google Scholar, and clinicaltrials.gov. Numerous in silico, in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies revealed that αLA shows a protective role in biological systems by direct or indirect reactive oxygen/nitrogen species quenching. αLA demonstrated beneficial properties in the prevention and treatment of many age-related disorders such as neurodegeneration, metabolic disorders, different cancers, nephropathy, infertility, and skin senescence. Its preventive effects in case of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases are of particular interest. Further mechanistic and clinical studies are highly recommended to evaluate the wide spectrum of αLA therapeutic potential that could optimize its dietary intake for prevention and alleviation disorders related to aging."

Costimulatory molecules (CMs) are important in maintaining T cell biological functions and regulating immune responses. To investigate the role of CMs in UVM and exploit prognostic signature by bioinformatics analysis. This study aimed to identify and validate a CMs associated signature and investigate its role in the progression and prognosis of UVM. The expression profile data of training cohort and validation cohort were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset. 60 CM genes were identified, and 34 genes were associated with prognosis by univariate Cox regression. A prognostic signature was established with six CM genes. Further, high- and low-risk groups were divided by the median, and Kaplan-Meier (K-M) curves indicated that high-risk patients presented a poorer prognosis. We analyzed the correlation of gender, age, stage, and risk score on prognosis by univariate and multivariate regression analysis. We found that risk score was the only risk factor for prognosis. Through the integration of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), it was found that the high-risk group presented more immune cell infiltration and expression of immune checkpoints and obtained higher immune scores. Enrichment analysis of the biological functions of the two groups revealed that the differential parts were mainly related to cell-cell adhesion, regulation of T-cell activation, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. No differences in tumor mutation burden (TMB) were found between the two groups. GNA11 and BAP1 have higher mutation frequencies in high-risk patients. Finally, based on the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer 2 (GDSC2) dataset, drug sensitivity analysis found that high-risk patients may be potential beneficiaries of the treatment of crizotinib or temozolomide. Taken together, our CM-related prognostic signature is a reliable biomarker that may provide ideas for future treatments for the disease."

Amalgamating the surface functionalized nanoparticles with microneedle technology can potentially deliver drugs directly to tumors and subsequently target cancer cells via, overexpressed receptors on the cell surface, thereby enhancing the treatment efficacy while reducing side effects. Here, we report cetuximab anchored hyaluronic acid-oleylamine and chitosan-oleic acid-based hybrid nanoparticle (HA-OA/CS-OA NPT)-loaded dissolving microneedles (MN) for targeted delivery of cabazitaxel (CBT) in localized breast cancer tumor. The HA-OA/CS-OA NPT was characterized for their size, surface charge, morphology, physicochemical characteristics, drug release behavior, and in vitro anti-cancer efficacy. The HA-OA/CS-OA NPT were of ~125 nm size, showed enhanced cytotoxicity and cellular uptake, and elicited a superior apoptotic response against MDA-MB-231 cells. Subsequently, the morphology and physicochemical characteristics of HA-OA/CS-OA NPT-loaded MN were also evaluated. The fabricated microneedles were of ~550 μm height and showed loading of nanoparticles equivalent to ~250 μg of CBT. The ex vivo skin permeation study revealed fast dissolution of microneedles upon hydration, while the drug permeation across the skin exhibited ~4-fold improvement in comparison to free drug-loaded MN. In vivo studies performed on DMBA-induced breast cancer in female SD rats showed a marked reduction in tumor volume after administration of drug and nanoparticle-loaded microneedles in comparison to intravenous administration of free drug. However, the HA-OA/CS-OA NPT-MN showed the highest tumor reduction and survival rate, with the lowest body weight reduction in comparison to other treatment groups, indicating its superior efficacy and low systemic toxicity. Overall, the dissolving microneedle-mediated delivery of targeted nanoparticles loaded with chemotherapeutics offers a superior alternative to conventional intravenous chemotherapy."

To investigate how urbanization gives rise to microbial patterns that may be amenable by dietary intervention, we analyzed diet intake, fecal 16 S bacteriome, virome, and metabolome in a cross-sectional study in healthy rural and urban Xhosa people (South Africa). Urban Xhosa individuals had higher intakes of energy (urban: 3,578 ± 455; rural: 2,185 ± 179 kcal/d), fat and animal protein. This was associated with lower fecal bacteriome diversity and a shift from genera favoring degradation of complex carbohydrates (e.g., Prevotella) to taxa previously shown to be associated with bile acid metabolism and CRC. Urban Xhosa individuals had higher fecal levels of deoxycholic acid, shown to be associated with higher CRC risk, but similar short-chain fatty acid concentrations compared with rural individuals. Fecal virome composition was associated with distinct gut bacterial communities across urbanization, characterized by different dominant host bacteria (urban: Bacteriodota; rural: unassigned taxa) and variable correlation with fecal metabolites and dietary nutrients. Food and skin microbiota samples showed compositional differences along the urbanization gradient.

However, its widespread application is impeded by poor pharmacokinetics of existing sonosensitizers. Here we developed a metal-organic nanoplatform, wherein a small-molecule sonosensitizer (hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether, HMME) was ingeniously coordinated with zirconium, resulting in a multifunctional nanosonosensitizer termed Zr-HMME. Through post-synthetic modifications involving PEGylation and tumor-targeting peptide (F3) linkage, a nanoplatform capable of homing on melanoma was produced, which could elicit robust immune responses to suppress tumor lung metastasis in the host organism. Importantly, after seamless incorporation of positron-emitting "

Autosomal dominant lamellar ichthyosis is a rare condition, and ASPRV1 was the only gene linked to autosomal dominant lamellar ichthyosis to date. We identified a heterozygous variant (ENST00000686631.1:c.1372G>T, p.[Val458Phe]) in the NKPD1 gene in 7 individuals from a 4-generation German pedigree with generalized lamellar ichthyosis by whole-exome sequencing. Segregation analysis confirmed its presence in affected individuals, resulting in a logarithm of the odds score of 3.31. NKPD1 encodes the NKPD1 protein, implicated in the plasma membrane; its role in human disease is as yet unknown. Skin histology showed moderate acanthosis and compact orthohyperkeratosis, and the ultrastructure differed clearly from that in ASPRV1-autosomal dominant lamellar ichthyosis. Although NKPD1 mRNA expression increased during keratinocyte differentiation, stratum corneum ceramides exhibited no significant changes. However, affected individuals showed an elevated ratio of protein-bound ceramides to omega-esterified ceramides. This highlights NKPD1's role in autosomal dominant lamellar ichthyosis, impacting ceramide metabolism and skin lipid barrier formation, as demonstrated through functional characterization."

The survival rates of patients with carcinoma of the bulbar urethra are as low as 20%-30%. Stricture recurrence and unrecognized malignant changes present prior to reconstruction are major risk factors for urethral cancer.

+5894,skin cancer,38642035,Melan-A immunolabeling in canine extramedullary plasmacytomas.,"Histologic diagnosis of less well-differentiated cases of canine extramedullary plasmacytomas (CEMPs) may require immunohistochemical confirmation to discriminate these tumors from other round cells tumors including lymphoma, cutaneous histiocytoma, and amelanotic melanomas. CEMPs are characterized by widespread immunoreactivity for multiple myeloma 1 (MUM1) antigen and λ light chains, while the melanocytic marker melan-A has been reported to yield negative results. Here, 33 randomly selected CEMPs, 20 melanocytomas, and 20 malignant melanomas were immunohistochemically tested for MUM1, melan-A, and PNL2. In addition, CEMPs were examined for PAX5, E-cadherin, CD3, CD18, CD20, S100, as well as λ and κ light chain immunoreactivity. All CEMPs were characterized by labeling for MUM1 and λ light chain, as well as variable immunopositivity for the remaining antibodies. Notably, 13 cases of CEMPs (39.4%) exhibited immunolabeling for melan-A. Melanocytic tumors immunolabeled for melan-A (40/40; 100%) and PNL2 (34/40; 85%). An unexpected cytoplasmic immunoreactivity for MUM1 was observed in 2 melanocytic tumors. Summarized, MUM1 or melan-A immunomarkers alone are not sufficient to differentiate between CEMPs and amelanotic melanomas and should be part of a larger immunopanel including λ light chain, CD20, and PNL2."

Despite continuous advancements and research, the risk of metastasis remains high. It is possible to stratify patients according to their risk of metastases using a variety of known risk factors. Even though there is no gold standard for the prognostication of patients with uveal melanoma, it is becoming increasingly clear that combining histo-pathological, patient-related and molecular prognostic markers allows a more accurate prediction of the metastatic risk than by using one parameter. Primary UM in the eye are treated very effectively with eye-sparing radiation-based techniques or enucleation. However, it is not yet possible to prevent or treat metastases with the current therapeutic options. Nonetheless, the efforts to find new therapeutic targets continue and progress is being made, especially in the field of targeted therapy, as exemplified by the anti-gp100 bispecific molecule Tebentafusp. This review delves into the history of uveal melanoma, its incidence, presentation and diagnosis, the known prognostic factors and the treatment options, both for the primary tumour and for metastases. We show that different populations may have different risks for developing UM, and that each country should evaluate their own patients."
+5899,skin cancer,38641196,Dexamethasone sodium phosphate loaded nanoparticles for prevention of nitrogen mustard induced corneal injury.,"Nitrogen mustard (NM) is a potent vesicating chemical warfare agent that is primarily absorbed through skin, inhalation, or ocular surface. Ocular exposure of NM can cause acute to chronic keratopathy which can eventually lead to blindness. There is a current lack of effective countermeasures against ocular exposure of NM despite their imperative need. Herein, we aim to explore the sustained effect of Dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP)-loaded polymeric nanoparticles (PLGA-DSP-NP) following a single subconjunctival injection in the management and prevention of corneal injury progression upon exposure to NM. DSP is an FDA approved corticosteroid with proven anti-inflammatory properties. We formulated PLGA-DSP-NP with zinc chelation ion bridging method using PLGA polymer, with particles of approximately 250 nm and a drug loading of 6.5 wt%. Under in vitro sink conditions, PLGA-DSP-NP exhibited a sustained drug release for two weeks. Notably, in NM injured cornea, a single subconjunctival (SCT) injection of PLGA-DSP-NP outperformed DSP eyedrops (0.1%), DSP solution, placebo NP, and saline, significantly mitigating corneal neovascularization, ulceration, and opacity for the two weeks study period. Through PLGA-DSP-NP injection, sustained DSP release hindered inflammatory cytokine recruitment, angiogenic factors, and endothelial cell proliferation in the cornea. This strategy presents a promising localized corticosteroid delivery system to effectively combat NM-induced corneal injury, offering insights into managing vesicant exposure."

It also facilitates the maintenance and re-establishment of skin homeostasis. Among others, it is involved in regulating keratinocyte differentiation. The stability of the oxygen-liable HIF-1α subunit is regulated by various non-canonical oxygen-independent mechanisms, which among others involve Heat Shock Proteins of the A family (HSPA/HSP70). This group of highly homologous chaperones and proteostasis-controlling factors includes HSPA2, a unique member crucial for spermatogenesis and implicated in the regulation of keratinocyte differentiation. HIF-1 can control the HSPA2 gene expression. In this study, we revealed that HIF-1α is the first confirmed client of HSPA2 in human somatic cells. It colocalises and interacts directly with HSPA2 in the epidermis in situ and immortalised keratinocytes in vitro. Using an in vitro model based on HSPA2-overexpressing and HSPA2-deficient variants of immortalised keratinocytes we showed that changes in HSPA2 levels do not affect the levels and intracellular localisation of HIF-1α or influence the ability of HIF-1 to modulate target gene expression. However, HIF-1α stability in keratinocytes appears critically reliant on HSPAs as a group of functionally overlapping chaperones. In addition to HSPA2, HIF-1α colocalises and forms complexes with HSPA8 and HSPA1, representing housekeeping and stress-inducible HSPA family paralogs, respectively. Chemical inhibition of HSPA activity, but not paralog-specific knockdown of HSPA8 or HSPA1 expression reduced HIF-1α levels and HIF-1-dependent gene expression. These observations suggest that pharmacological targeting of HSPAs could prevent excessive HIF-1 signalling in pathological skin conditions."

NRAS mutations are the second most prevalent RAS mutations in skin and hematological malignancies. Although RAS proteins were considered undruggable for decades, isoform and mutation-specific investigations have produced successful RAS inhibitors that are either specific to certain mutants, isoforms (pan-KRAS) or target all RAS proteins (pan-RAS). While extensive structural and biochemical investigations have focused mainly on K- and H-RAS mutations, NRAS mutations have received less attention, and the most prevalent NRAS mutations in human cancers, Q61K and Q61R, are rare in K- and H-RAS. This manuscript presents a crystal structure of the NRAS Q61K mutant in the GTP-bound form. Our structure reveals a previously unseen pocket near switch II induced by the binding of a ligand to the active form of the protein. This observation reveals a binding site that can potentially be exploited for development of inhibitors against mutant NRAS. Furthermore, the well-resolved catalytic site of this GTPase bound to native GTP provides insight into the stalled GTP hydrolysis observed for NRAS-Q61K."

This occurs in approximately 5-10% of ICB-treated patients, but has not yet been described in the context of novel combination therapies. Here, we report a case of an 89-year-old patient with metastatic melanoma to the liver, lung and lymph nodes, who underwent treatment with Opdualag (combining anti-PD-1 nivolumab and anti-lymphocyte-activation gene 3 relatlimab ICBs), and developed pseudoprogression after two cycles of therapy.

Patients receiving apalutamide can be managed by medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, or urologists, preferably as part of a multidisciplinary team. However, the importance of additional safety monitoring for significant adverse effects and drug interactions should not be underestimated. The toxicities of apalutamide are manageable with experience and should be managed proactively to minimize their impact on patients. Monitoring of patients for apalutamide-specific toxicities, including skin rash, hypothyroidism, and QT prolongation should be carried out regularly, particularly in the first few months following initiation. Monitoring should continue alongside monitoring for toxicities of androgen deprivation, including cardiovascular risk, hot flashes, weight gain, bone health, muscle wasting, and diabetic risk.

Treating an older RAS and BRAF wild-type patient represents a challenge for the medical oncologist, even more so for those patients defined as ""vulnerable"" and undergoing at least two lines of therapy. In this context, recent evidence supports the role of retreatment with anti-EGFR inhibitors and the use of liquid biopsy. However, frequent skin toxicity constitutes a limitation of therapy, especially in older people. Since it has been described that continuous administration of these monoclonal antibodies leads to acquired resistance to anti-EGFRs, with consequent therapeutic failure, an intermittent strategy with chemotherapy plus an anti-EGFR could help maintain the efficacy of the treatment over time, delaying the resistance and improving patients' quality of life."

In order to learn and solve age-related diseases, tracking strategies through biomarkers, including senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal), with high sensitivity and accuracy, have been considered as a promising solution. However, endogenous β-gal accumulation is not only associated with senescence but also with other physiological processes. Therefore, additional assays are needed to define cellular senescence further. In this work, a fancy fluorescent probe SA-HCy-1 for accurately monitoring senescence is developed, with SA-β-gal and HClO as targets under high lysosomal pH conditions (pH > 6.0) specifically, on account of the role β-gal commonly played as an ovarian cancer biomarker. Therefore, precise tracking of cellular senescence could be achieved in view of these three dimensions, with response in dual fluorescence channels providing a ratiometric sensing pattern. This elaborate strategy has been verified to be suitable for biological applications by skin photo-aging evaluation and cellular passage tracing, displaying a significantly improved sensitivity compared with the commercial X-gal kit measurement."

+5915,skin cancer,38637099,Inflammatory breast cancer: An overview about the histo-pathological aspect and diagnosis.,"Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is a rare and aggressive form of locally advanced breast cancer, classified as stage T4d according to the tumor-node-metastasis staging criteria. This subtype of breast cancer is known for its rapid progression and significantly lower survival rates compared to other forms of breast cancer. Despite its distinctive clinical features outlined by the World Health Organization, the histopathological characteristics of IBC remain not fully elucidated, presenting challenges in its diagnosis and treatment. Histologically, IBC tumors often exhibit a ductal phenotype, characterized by emboli composed of pleomorphic cells with a high nuclear grade. These emboli are predominantly found in the papillary and reticular dermis of the skin overlaying the breast, suggesting a primary involvement of the lymphatic vessels. The tumor microenvironment in IBC is a complex network involving various cells such as macrophages, monocytes, and predominantly T CD8+ lymphocytes, and elements including blood vessels and extracellular matrix molecules, which play a pivotal role in the aggressive nature of IBC. A significant aspect of IBC is the frequent loss of expression of hormone receptors like estrogen and progesterone receptors, a phenomenon that is still under active investigation. Moreover, the overexpression of ERBB2/HER2 and TP53 in IBC cases is a topic of ongoing debate, with studies indicating a higher prevalence in IBC compared to non-inflammatory breast cancer. This overview seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the histopathological features and diagnostic approaches to IBC, emphasizing the critical areas that require further research."

However, inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), with its specific presentation characterized by skin invasion, is unfit for primary surgery. According to the different guidelines, the management of IBC is trimodal with the coordination of oncologists, surgeons, and radiation therapists. Advances in breast cancer imaging and the development of more targeted therapies make new challenges for this aggressive cancer. This chapter aims to provide an update on the role of surgery in IBC. Radical surgery is still considered the standard surgical treatment in IBC. Some authors suggest a conservative surgery in patients with a clinical response to chemotherapy without affecting survival. For lymph node surgery, the sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is not feasible in IBC patients, according to the existing studies. However, prospective studies on SLNB are needed to verify its reliability after chemotherapy for a specific group of patients. In the metastatic IBC, surgery can be considered if there is a good response after chemotherapy or for uncontrolled symptoms. Existing studies showed that surgery may impact survival for these patients. Prospective studies are mandatory to optimize IBC management, considering factors such as tumor's molecular profile."

We develop an approach to quantify the 3D cell shape of over 60,000 melanoma cells in collagen hydrogels using high-throughput stage-scanning oblique plane microscopy (ssOPM). We identify stereotypic and environmentally dependent changes in shape and protrusivity depending on whether a cell is proximal to a flat and rigid surface or is embedded in a soft environment. Environmental sensitivity metrics calculated for small molecules and gene knockdowns identify interactions between the environment and cellular factors that are important for morphogenesis. We show that the Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor (RhoGEF) TIAM2 contributes to shape determination in environmentally independent ways but that non-muscle myosin II, microtubules, and the RhoGEF FARP1 regulate shape in ways dependent on the microenvironment. Thus, changes in cancer cell shape in response to 3D geometric and mechanical cues are modulated in both an environmentally dependent and independent fashion."
+5923,skin cancer,38636502,ERSegDiff: a diffusion-based model for edge reshaping in medical image segmentation.,"Medical image segmentation is a crucial field of computer vision. Obtaining correct pathological areas can help clinicians analyze patient conditions more precisely. We have observed that both CNN-based and attention-based neural networks often produce rough segmentation results around the edges of the regions of interest. This significantly impacts the accuracy of obtaining the pathological areas. Without altering the original data and model architecture, further refining the initial segmentation outcomes can effectively address this issue and lead to more satisfactory results. Recently, diffusion models have demonstrated outstanding results in image generation, showcasing their powerful ability to model distributions. We believe that this ability can greatly enhance the accuracy of the reshaping results. This research proposes ERSegDiff, a neural network based on the diffusion model for reshaping segmentation borders. The diffusion model is trained to fit the distribution of the target edge area and is then used to modify the segmentation edge to produce more accurate segmentation results. By incorporating prior knowledge into the diffusion model, we can help it more accurately simulate the edge probability distribution of the samples. Moreover, we introduce the edge concern module, which leverages attention mechanisms to produce feature weights and further refine the segmentation outcomes. To validate our approach, we employed the COVID-19 and ISIC-2018 datasets for lung segmentation and skin cancer segmentation tasks, respectively. Compared with the baseline model, ERSegDiff improved the dice score by 3%-4% and 2%-4%, respectively, and achieved state-of-the-art scores compared to several mainstream neural networks, such as swinUNETR."

Blockade of key regulators of T-cell exhaustion, such as programmed death 1, can reinvigorate tumor-specific T cells and activate antitumor immunity in various types of cancer. In this study, we identified that CD106 was specifically expressed in exhausted CD8+ T cells in the TME using single-cell RNA sequencing. High CD106 expression in the TME in clinical samples corresponded to improved response to cancer immunotherapy. CD106 in tumor-specific T cells suppressed antitumor immunity both in vitro and in vivo, and loss of CD106 in CD8+ T cells suppressed tumor growth and improved response to programmed death 1 blockade. Mechanistically, CD106 inhibited T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling by interacting with the TCR/CD3 complex and reducing its surface expression. Together, these findings provide insights into the immunosuppressive role of CD106 expressed in tumor-specific exhausted CD8+ T cells, identifying it as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy. Significance: CD106 is specifically expressed in tumor-specific exhausted CD8+ T cells and inhibits the TCR signaling pathway by reducing surface expression of the TCR/CD3 complex to suppress antitumor immunity."

Globally, it is the second leading cause of death after heart disease, and by 2035, the death toll could reach 14.6 million. Several drugs and treatments are available to treat cancer, but survival rates remain low. Many studies in recent years have shown that plant-derived monoterpenes, particularly geraniol and citral, are effective against various cancers, including breast, liver, melanoma, endometrial, colon, prostate, and skin cancers. This trend has opened new possibilities for the development of new therapeutics or adjuvants in the field of cancer therapy. These monoterpenes can improve the efficacy of chemotherapy by modulating many signaling molecules and pathways within tumors. Analysis of reports on the anticancer effects published in the past 5 years provided an overview of the most important results of these and related properties.

+5927,skin cancer,38635786,Primary Large B-cell Lymphomas of Immune-Privileged Sites.,"Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) encompasses a diverse spectrum of aggressive B-cell lymphomas with remarkable genetic heterogeneity and myriad clinical presentations. Multiplatform genomic analyses of DLBCL have identified oncogenic drivers within genetic subtypes that allow for pathologic subclassification of tumors into discrete entities with shared immunophenotypic, genetic, and clinical features. Robust classification of lymphoid tumors establishes a foundation for precision medicine and enables the identification of novel therapeutic vulnerabilities within biologically homogeneous entities. Most cases of DLBCL involving the central nervous system (CNS), vitreous, and testis exhibit immunophenotypic features suggesting an activated B-cell (ABC) origin. Shared molecular features include frequent co-mutations of MYD88 (L265P) and CD79B and frequent genetic alterations promoting immune evasion, which are hallmarks of the MCD/C5/MYD88 genetic subtype of DLBCL. Clinically, these lymphomas primarily arise within anatomic sanctuary sites and have a predilection for remaining confined to extranodal sites and strong CNS tropism. Given the shared clinical and molecular features, the umbrella term primary large B-cell lymphoma of immune-privileged sites (IP-LBCL) was proposed. Other extranodal DLBCL involving breast, adrenal glands, and skin are often ABC DLBCL, but are more heterogeneous in their genomic profile and involve anatomic sites that are not considered immune privileged. In this review, we describe the overlapping clinical, pathologic, and molecular features of IP-LBCL and highlight important considerations for diagnosis, staging and treatment. We also discuss potential therapeutic vulnerabilities of IP-LBCL including sensitivity to inhibitors of Bruton's tyrosine kinase, immunomodulatory agents, and immunotherapy."

In an observational study, we determined incidence rates (IR) and malignant tumor incidence rate ratios (IRR) by age, sex, and breed in Swiss dogs using demographic data from the official Swiss dog registration database Amicus. The dataset analyzed included 54'986 tumors diagnosed by histology and cytology in four Swiss veterinary pathology laboratories between 2008 and 2020. Diagnoses were coded according to the Vet-ICD-O-canine-1 system. Most tumors occurred in the skin (n = 19'045; 34.64%), soft tissues (n = 11'092; 20.17%), and mammary glands (n = 7'974; 14.50%). The IRs for all and for malignant tumors were 775/100'000 dog-years at risk (95%CI 764-777) and 338/100'000 dog-years at risk (95%CI 333-342), respectively. Females (850; 95%CI 834-853) had a higher overall tumor IR than males (679; 95%CI 666-684). The highest tumor IR was found at 11 years of age (1'857; 95%CI 1'780-1'867). Potential novel breed-specific predispositions were uncovered, with high IRs for several benign and malignant tumors in Polski Owczarek Nizinnys (overall IR: 3'303; 95%CI 2'502-3'864) and high IRs for malignant tumors in Russian Black Terriers (melanomas: 345; 95%CI 138-708), Field Spaniels (adenocarcinomas: 376; CI95% 138-817), Dogo Argentinos (mast cell tumors: 844; CI95% 591-1'169), King Charles Spaniels and Manchester Terriers (lymphomas: 319; CI95% 137-627 and 302; CI95% 98-704, respectively), Landseers (osteosarcomas: 74; CI95% 15-216), Bouvier des Flandres (hemangiosarcomas: 127; CI95% 26-371), and Bearded Collies and Cane Corso Italianos (gliomas: 91; CI95% 45-162 and 34; CI95% 7-99, respectively). Nordic hunting dogs had the highest (8.08; CI95% 3.55-16.7) and Chihuahueno the lowest cancer IRRs (0.42; 95%CI 0.31-0.57) compared to mixed breeds. In conclusion, the calculated IRs and IRRs revealed previously unknown predisposing factors, including novel breed-specific susceptibilities. The results may have implications for cancer screening, diagnostic work-up, breeding management and oncologic and translational research."
+5930,skin cancer,38635031,Vascular mimicry as a facilitator of melanoma brain metastasis.,"Melanoma has the highest propensity among solid tumors to metastasize to the brain. Melanoma brain metastases (MBM) are a leading cause of death in melanoma and affect 40-60% of patients with late-stage disease. Therefore, uncovering the molecular mechanisms behind MBM is necessary to enhance therapeutic interventions. Vascular mimicry (VM) is a form of neovascularization linked to invasion, increased risk of metastasis, and poor prognosis in many tumor types, but its significance in MBM remains poorly understood. We found that VM density is elevated in MBM compared to paired extracranial specimens and is associated with tumor volume and CNS edema. In addition, our studies indicate a relevant role of YAP and TAZ, two transcriptional co-factors scarcely studied in melanoma, in tumor cell-vasculogenesis and in brain metastasis. We recently demonstrated activation of the Hippo tumor suppressor pathway and increased degradation of its downstream targets YAP and TAZ in a metastasis impaired cell line model. In the current study we establish the utility of anti-YAP/TAZ therapy in mouse models of metastatic melanoma whereby treatment effectively inhibits VM and prolongs survival of mice with MBM. The data presented herein suggest that VM may be an important and targetable mechanism in melanoma and that VM inhibition might be useful for treating MBM, an area of high unmet clinical need, thus having important implications for future treatment regimens for these patients."

We present an investigation of sunscreen labels and how ingredients impact sun safety and human health. A review of the literature was conducted using Embase and PubMed to examine sunscreen safety, efficacy, and use to prevent UV-induced skin damage. Increasing sunscreen reapplication, wearing protective clothing, and limiting exposure can reduce the incidence of skin cancer.

These cells are closely associated with nerve terminals and, given their proximity to cutaneous tissue, have the propensity to develop into deeply ulcerated, fungating malignancies. These friable wounds are easily irritated, and can cause significant pain for patients. We report a palliative case of severe, fungating MCC of the left scalp where the main contributor to the patient's illness burden is pain. Having been referred to palliative care by the Tissue Viability team, this 90-year-old gentleman was complaining of episodic burning pain during dressing changes, which was associated with radiation to the forehead, nausea, and significant trait anxiety. It was theorised that this pain could be in part due to tension headache, not just nociception, and anticipatory lorazepam was prescribed to relieve trait anxiety. All symptoms were majorly relieved following this administration. A specialist dressing was implemented to absorb exudate and balance moisture, which we believe may have stopped further deterioration of pain. Overall, this report emphasises the need to consider alternative pain aetiologies other than nociception in a presentation that is not found in the literature."

Thus, identifying the role of specific genes in pan-cancer is needed for developing effective anti-cancer strategies. However, the function of CD244 in pan-cancer has not been fully understood. In this study, we explored the CD244 expression profile across 33 tumor types based on The Cancer Genome Atlas project, the Gene Expression Omnibus database, and other bioinformatics tools. We found down-regulated expression levels in seven tumor types and up-regulated expression levels in two tumor types. We subsequently explored the relationship between survival rate and CD244 expression, and found the positive relationship in patients with adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), and uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC). We further investigated the association between CD244 expression and tumor-infiltrating immune cells, and discovered their positive correlation in different tumors. We found that CD244 expression level was higher in normal samples than in UCEC samples, and was positively associated with CD8"
+5942,skin cancer,38633313,Comparative aspects of targeted sentinel lymph node mapping in veterinary and human medicine: opportunities for future research.,"There is a significant overlap in the genetic, metabolic and epigenetic alterations between human and companion animal cancers, including those of the oral cavity, breast, bladder, skin, lungs and pancreas. In many cancer types, the identification and removal of affected lymph nodes are essential for accurate cancer management, including treatment and prognosis. Historically, lymphadenectomy and subsequent radical resection based on regional anatomy, palpation and lymph node aspirates were considered sufficient; however, modern approaches with sentinel lymph node mapping (SLN) mapping have increased the accuracy of surgical decision-making. Preoperative and intraoperative SLN mapping techniques in veterinary patients parallel those used in human medicine. While many of these techniques are highly successful, the main challenges with current methodologies are their sensitivity and specificity for the presence of cancer, which can be overcome via precision medicine and targeted SLN mapping agents. Given the large population of dogs and cats with cancer, the crossover of knowledge between species can help to deepen our understanding of many of these cancers and can be useful in evaluating new drugs and/or therapies. In this review, we discuss SLN mapping techniques in veterinary medicine and the concept of precision medicine as it relates to targeted SLN mapping imaging agents. The large number of companion animals affected by cancer is an underutilized resource to bridge the translational gap and we aim to provide a reference for the use of dogs and cats as a comparative model for human SLN mapping."

This study is meant to investigate whether optical coherence tomography (OCT), a highly researched modality in dermatology, can be used preoperatively to map out the borders of BCC, resulting in fewer stages of MMS or a smaller final defect. In this prospective study, 22 patients with BCC undergoing surgical excision were enrolled at a single institution. All patients had previously received a diagnostic biopsy providing confirmation of BCC and had been referred to our center for excision with MMS. Immediately prior to performing MMS, OCT was used to map the borders of the lesion. MMS then proceeded according to standard protocol. OCT images were compared to histopathology for agreement. Histopathologic analysis of 7 of 22 MMS specimens (32%) revealed a total absence of BCC, indicating resolution of BCC after previous diagnostic biopsy. This outcome was correctly predicted by OCT imaging in 6 of 7 cases (86%). Nine tumors (9/22, 41%) had true BCC and required a single MMS stage, which was successfully predicted by pre-operative OCT analysis in 7 of 9 cases (78%). The final six tumors (27%) had true BCC and required two MMS stages for complete excision; preoperative OCT successfully predicted the need for a second stage in five cases (5/6, 83.3%). Overall, OCT diagnosed BCC with 95.5% accuracy (Cohen's kappa, κ = 0.89 (p-value =  < 0.01) in the center of the lesion. Following a diagnostic biopsy, OCT can be used to verify the existence or absence of residual basal cell carcinoma. When residual tumor is present that requires excision with MMS, OCT can be used to predict tumor borders, optimize surgery and minimize the need for additional surgical stages."

However, it remains unclear whether EMMM also involves the mucosal epithelium. In this case, the patient was diagnosed with EMMM based on the histopathological findings of the patient's multiple skin lesions and clinical course. The patient also developed metastasis to the hypopharynx. Although histopathological findings of the lesion suggested the possibility of melanoma in situ, as the lesion included atypical melanocytes in the mucosal epithelium, the clinical course supported the diagnosis of hypopharyngeal metastasis from EMMM. This case suggests that EMMM may have epitheliotropic features not only in the skin but also in the mucosa."

+5955,skin cancer,32644357,Rhombic Flaps,"Rhombic flaps are versatile geometric local transposition flaps commonly utilized for reconstructing small to medium-sized skin defects, particularly after skin cancer resection in the head and neck area. However, their utility extends beyond this, proving effective in various anatomical regions and pathologies, including spina bifida, burn contractures, chronic pilonidal sinuses, and hand and breast reconstruction. Like other local flaps, rhombic flaps take advantage of skin laxity adjacent to a defect to permit reconstruction with skin with characteristics similar to those of the excised tissue. This approach enhances cosmetic outcomes compared to alternative reconstructive methods such as skin grafting and regional or free tissue transfer. The term ""rhombus"" originates from Euclidean geometry, denoting a quadrilateral with 4 equal-length sides and opposing equal acute and obtuse angles. Conversely, ""rhomboid"" refers to any parallelogram with 2 acute and 2 obtuse angles. ""Rhombic"" accurately describes flaps resembling a rhombus, while ""rhomboid"" pertains to those resembling a parallelogram.

Many patients develop secondary resistance to TIL-ACT but the involved mechanisms are unclear. In this study, we describe a case of secondary resistance to TIL-ACT possibly due to intratumoral heterogeneity and selection of a resistant tumor cell clone by the transferred T cells. To the best our knowledge, this is the first case of clonal selection of a pre-existing nondominant tumor cell clone; this report demonstrates the mechanism involved in secondary resistance to TIL-ACT that can potentially change current clinical practice because it advocates for T-cell collection from multiple tumor sites and analysis of tumor heterogeneity before treatment with TIL-ACT."

Differentiation of dividing cells is necessary to form a skin barrier. The same dividing cells are necessary to heal wounds and when malignant form tumors. RIPK4, a serine-threonine kinase, plays critical roles in these processes. Its loss of function was associated with pathological keratinocyte proliferation and development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in humans and mice. The current study extends previous findings in the importance of RIPK4 in keratinocyte proliferation. A serum-derived phospholipid, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), was identified as an important biologic inhibitor of RIPK4. LPA functions by inhibiting the transcription of RIPK4 mRNA. LPA treatment led to increased keratinocyte proliferation, and this was compromised in cells with reduced RIPK4 expression. The current study may help to explain the mechanism by which RIPK4 was downregulated during SCC progression and provide insights on RIPK4 functions. It may also allow for targeting of RIPK4 through a natural component of serum."

MDC1 is an integral component in preserving genomic stability and appropriate DDR regulation. There haven't been systematic investigations of MDC1 mutations that induce cancer and genomic instability. Variations in nsSNPs have the potential to modify the protein chemistry and their function. Describing functional SNPs in disease-associated genes presents a significant conundrum for investigators, it is possible to assess potential functional SNPs before conducting larger population examinations. Multiple sequences and structure-based bioinformatics strategies were implemented in the current in-silico investigation to discern potential nsSNPs of the MDC1 genes. The nsSNPs were identified with SIFT, SNAP2, Align GVGD, PolyPhen-2, and PANTHER, and their stability was determined with MUpro. The conservation, solvent accessibility, and structural effects of the mutations were identified with ConSurf, NetSurfP-2.0, and SAAFEC-SEQ respectively. Cancer-related analysis of the nsSNPs was conducted using cBioPortal and TCGA web servers. The present study appraised five nsSNPs (P1426T, P69S, P194R, P203L, and H131Y) as probably mutilating due to their existence in highly conserved regions and propensity to deplete protein stability. The nsSNPs P194R, P203L, and H131Y were concluded as deleterious and possibly damaging from the 5 prediction tools. The functional nsSNP P194R mutation is associated with skin cutaneous melanoma while no significant records were found for other nsSNPs. The present study concludes that the highly deleterious P194R mutations can potentially induce genomic instability and contribute to various cancers' pathogenesis. Developing drugs targeting these mutations can undoubtedly be advantageous in large population-based studies, particularly in the development of precision medicine."

However, it is widely accepted among head and neck pathologists that pSCCP is exceptionally rare. Yet, there are many publications describing series of pSCCP and data from SEER and other cancer register databases indicate erroneously an increasing incidence of pSCCP. Importantly, pSCCP and metastatic (secondary) squamous cell carcinoma to the parotid gland (mSCCP) have nearly identical histological features, and the diagnosis of pSCCP should only be made after the exclusion of mSCCP. Moreover, all of the histological diagnostic criteria proposed to be in favor of pSCCP (such as, for example, dysplasia of ductal epithelium) can be encountered in unequivocal mSCCP, thereby representing secondary growth along preexistent ducts. Squamous cell differentiation has also been reported in rare genetically defined primary parotid carcinomas, either as unequivocal histological squamous features (e.g., NUT carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma), by immunohistochemistry (e.g., in NUT carcinoma, adamantinoma-like Ewing sarcoma, basal-type salivary duct carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma), or a combination of both. Another major issue in this context is that the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) coding system does not distinguish between primary or metastatic disease, resulting in a large number of patients with mSCCP being misclassified as pSCCP. Immunohistochemistry and new molecular biomarkers have significantly improved the accuracy of the diagnosis of many salivary gland neoplasms, but until recently there were no biomarkers that can accurately distinguish between mSCCP and pSCCP. However, recent genomic profiling studies have unequivocally demonstrated that almost all SCCP analyzed to date have an ultraviolet light (UV)-induced mutational signature typical of mSCCP of skin origin. Thus, mutational signature analysis can be a very useful tool in determining the cutaneous origin of these tumors.

In order to verify the hypothesis that delivering BCG high-affinity peptides to tumor areas could activate the existing BCG memory T cells to attack tumor, we firstly predicted the HLA-A*0201 high-affinity peptides of BCG Ag85A protein (KLIANNTRV, GLPVEYLQV), and then, A375 melanoma cells and HLA-A*0201 PBMCs (from PPD-positive adults) were added to co-incubated with the predicted peptides in vitro. We found that the predicted BCG high-affinity peptides could be directly loaded onto the surface of tumor cells, enhancing the tumor-killing efficacy of PBMCs from PPD-positive volunteer. Then, we constructed PPD-positive mice model bearing B16F10 subcutaneous tumors and found that intratumor injection of BCG Ag85A high-affinity peptides (SGGANSPAL, YHPQQFVYAGAMSGLLD) enhanced the anti-tumor efficacy in PPD-positive melanoma mice. Along with the better anti-tumor efficacy, the expression of PDL1 on tumor cell surface was also increased, and stronger antitumor effects occurred when further combined with anti-PD1 antibody. For microenvironment analysis, the proportion of effector memory T cells was increased and the better treatment efficacy may be attributed to the elevated effector memory CD4 + T cells within the tumor. In conclusion, using the existing immune response of BCG vaccine by delivering high-affinity peptides of BCG to tumor area is a safe and promising therapy for cancer."

This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of NALMM and its clinicopathological features. A total of 201 histopathology reports were reviewed and among them 20% of the samples corresponded to NALMM, with females overrepresented in this group (p = 0.02). A significant association was also observed between NALMM with the presence of multiple nevi (p = 0.01), and dysplastic nevi (p = 0.04). Moreover, the risk of developing a second melanoma of nevus-associated type was 4.3 times higher in patients with NALMM. These results indicate that NALMM is more frequent than previously reported, suggesting that the associated nevus could interact or even act as a precursor for LM/LMM. Future studies with larger samples allied to techniques like confocal microscopy and molecular analysis are essential to determine this biological link between nevus and LM/LMM."
+5974,skin cancer,38629894,A highly biocompatible CE-crosslinked collagen implant with exceptional anti-calcification and collagen regeneration capabilities for aging skin rejuvenation.,"Skin aging, a complex and inevitable biological process, results in wrinkles, dermal laxity, and skin cancer, profoundly influencing appearance and overall health. Collagen serves as the fundamental element of the dermal matrix; nevertheless, collagen is susceptible to enzymatic degradation within the body. Crosslinking is employed to enhance the physicochemical properties of collagen. However, conventional crosslinking agents may harbor potential issues such as cytotoxicity and calcification risks, constraining their application in the biomedical field. Therefore, we have for the first time developed a highly biocompatible CE-crosslinked collagen implant with exceptional anti-calcification and collagen regeneration capabilities for aging skin rejuvenation. A novel collagen crosslinking agent (CE) was synthesized through a reaction involving chitosan quaternary ammonium salt with 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether. Compared to collagen crosslinked with glutaraldehyde (GA), the CE-crosslinked collagen implant exhibited notable stability and durability. The implant demonstrated excellent injectability and viscosity, resisting displacement after implantation. Additionally, the CE-crosslinked collagen implant displayed superior biocompatibility, effectively promoting the proliferation and adhesion of HFF-1 cells compared with the GA-crosslinked collagen. The CE-crosslinked collagen represented a safer and more biologically active implant material. "

The purpose of the investigation was to assess the risk of skin cancers in patients treated with TL-01 phototherapy who have not received any other phototherapy modalities. This cohort study included 4,815 TL-01 treated patients in Finland with psoriasis or atopic dermatitis. Clinical information was collected from the hospital records and linked with Finnish Cancer Registry data. The follow-up started from the first TL-01 treatment and the mean follow-up time was 8.4 years. Standardized incidence ratios were calculated for basal cell carcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. The standardized incidence ratio for basal cell carcinoma was 2.5 (95% confidence interval 1.8-3.5), for cutaneous melanoma 4.0 (95% confidence interval 2.1-6.8) and for squamous cell carcinoma 3.7 (95% confidence interval 1.7-7.0). For basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, the standardized incidence ratios remained similar during the whole follow-up time while the standardized incidence ratio for cutaneous melanoma was markedly higher during the first 5 years of follow-up. In conclusion, an increased incidence of skin cancers was observed among TL-01 treated patients. It should be confirmed in the future whether the skin cancer risk of TL-01 phototherapy will remain high in a longer follow-up."

Currently, this group is typically divided into malignant melanoma (MM) and keratinocyte cancers (KC).&lt;/br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Aim:&lt;/b&gt; The aim of this study is to analyze the cases of skin cancers treated in the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery in Lodz (Poland) during the COVID-19 pandemic (from 2020 to 2022) and then compare the results with the ones from the pre-pandemic period (from 2017 to 2019).&lt;/br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Material and methods:&lt;/b&gt; An analysis of histopathological files from the period between 2020 and 2022 was performed. It was based on the following criteria: sex, age, type of skin cancer, subtype of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), location, and dimensions of the tumor. The study sample consisted of 225 patients presenting 241 cases of skin cancers. There were 74 men and 151 women, with the mean age being 71.7.&lt;/br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; The most common skin cancer was BCC (175 cases, 72.6%) followed by SCC (59 cases, 24.5%), melanoma (5 cases, 2.1%), and other (2 cases, 0.8% - angiosarcoma and sweat gland carcinoma).&lt;/br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/b&gt; A marked reduction in the number of skin cancers detected during the pandemic period was reported on. Delay in the surgical treatment of skin tumors does not seem to affect the size of the removed lesion.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the complications and own experience with the use of Serasynth fully absorbable and SeragynBR partially absorbable synthetic meshes.&lt;/br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Material and methods:&lt;/b&gt; In the period from December 2017 to July 2020, 118 IBR were performed in the Author's Department with the use of SeragynBR and Serasynth meshes in 93 patients operated for breast cancer. 78 Serasynth meshes (Group 1) and 40 SeragynBR meshes (Group 2) were implanted.&lt;/br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; The most common complication was persistent seroma collection, which was reported in 17.9% of cases in Group 1 and 25% in Group 2. Skin inflammation was reported in 7.6% and 17.5%, while infections in 2.5% and 5% of the operated breasts in Group 1 and Group 2. Reoperation was required in 5.1% and 5% of the patients in Group 1 and Group 2. The percentage of complications was lower when Serasynth rather than Seragyn BR meshes were implanted. The frequent incidence of the seroma collection did not contribute in any significant way to serious complications such as removal of mesh/implant or infection. The complications, which developed following the implantation of both mesh types, were similar to those presented in other publications concerning mastectomy with IBR with the use of synthetic meshes. The percentage of implant losses/explanations in the discussed groups was lower than that reported in the literature.&lt;/br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/b&gt; Despite the complications, both types of meshes can be considered as safe additions to reconstructive breast surgeries.&lt;/br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Level of Evidence:&lt;/b&gt; Level III.&lt;/br&gt."

Abacavir hypersensitivity (AHS), which is strongly associated with HLA-B*57:01, is one of the most representative examples. Conventionally, HLA transmits immunological signals via interactions with T cell receptors on the cell surface. This study focused on HLA-mediated intracellular reactions in keratinocytes that might determine the onset of skin immunotoxicity by drug treatments. Abacavir exposure resulted in keratinocytes expressing HLA-B*57:01 exhibiting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress responses, such as immediate calcium release into the cytosol and enhanced HSP70 expression. In contrast, keratinocytes expressing HLA-B*57:03 (closely related to HLA-B*57:01) did not show these changes. This indicated that HLA-B*57:01 has a specific intracellular response to abacavir in keratinocytes in the absence of lymphocytes. Furthermore, abacavir exposure in HLA-B*57:01-expressing keratinocytes elevated the expression of cytokines/chemokines such as interferon-γ, interleukin-1β, and CCL27, and induced T lymphoblast migration. These effects were suppressed by ER stress relief using 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PB). HLA-B*57:01-transgenic mice also exhibited ER stress in epidermal areas following abacavir administration, and abacavir-induced skin toxicity was attenuated by the administration of 4-PB. Moreover, abacavir bound to HLA-B*57:01 within cells and its exposure led to HLA-B*57:01 protein aggregation and interaction with molecular chaperones in the ER of keratinocytes. Our results underscore the importance of HLA-mediated intracellular stress responses in understanding the onset of HLA-B*57:01-mediated AHS. We provide the possibility that the intracellular behavior of HLA is crucial for determining the onset of drug eruptions."
+5983,skin cancer,38628415,Immune checkpoint monoclonal antibody-related adverse effects in neuro-ophthalmology.,"Immunotherapy has renovated the field of oncology. Usually, cancer is treated by surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Immunotherapy is a promising treatment that harnesses the patient's own immune system to target cancer. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have proven to be a promising treatment avenue for managing cancer; however, their use had been associated with a unique spectrum of adverse side effects called immune-related adverse events (irAEs). As ICIs become increasingly relevant in cancer management, it is crucial to address these irAEs affecting various systems in the body, including the skin, liver, gastrointestinal tract, endocrine system, and the eye. Ocular toxicity and sight-threatening events are among the reported irAEs, impacting diverse ocular tissues. The most commonly reported ocular irAEs (OirAEs) are blurred vision, conjunctivitis, ocular surface disease uveitis, scleritis, and retinopathy. Nevertheless, the frequency and severity of these OirAEs can vary, even within the same class of ICIs. Thus, OirAEs can significantly impact the quality of life and patient compliance. Therefore, we aim to comprehensively analyze uncommon and severe ICI-related OirAEs associated with lung cancer by providing a comprehensive and updated review of immune checkpoint monoclonal antibody-related adverse effects in neuro-ophthalmology irAEs. Through a review of the relevant literature, we intend to illustrate the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, contributory factors, diagnosis, and management of ICI-associated ocular side effects. We will also discuss guidelines and best practice strategies for the prevention, monitoring, and management of these OirAEs."

We report a 5-month-old girl with a very large, mixed, partial segmental IH of the upper chest wall who, despite medical intervention, developed severe ulceration and multiple episodes of life-threatening bleeding that ultimately led to hemorrhagic shock. Experience in our patient and a review of six previous reports shows that severe bleeding is a risk when ulceration extends directly into an arterial feeding vessel that is often visible clinically. Other potential predictors for severe bleeding include large to very large IH size with extension of the tumor into underlying structures, segmental or partial segmental patterning, mixed and bulky morphology, and white discoloration as a sign of impending or worsening ulceration."

The study aimed to determine the difference in visual diagnostic skills of dermatologists practicing in Germany in patients with light skin (Ls) and patients with skin of color (SoC) to identify a potential need for further education. From April to June 2023, German dermatologists were invited to complete an online survey with 24 patient photographs depicting 12 skin diseases on both Ls and SoC. The study's primary outcomes were the number of correctly rated photographs and the participants' self-assessed certainty about the suspected visual diagnosis in Ls compared to SoC. The final analysis included surveys from a total of 129 dermatologists (47.8% female, mean age: 39.5 years). Participants were significantly more likely to correctly identify skin diseases by visual diagnostics in patients with Ls than in patients with SoC (72.1% vs. 52.8%, p ≤ 0.001, OR 2.28). Additionally, they expressed higher confidence in their diagnoses for Ls than for SoC (73.9 vs. 61.7, p ≤ 0.001).

+5987,skin cancer,38627362,Uveal melanoma immunogenomics predict immunotherapy resistance and susceptibility.,"Immune checkpoint inhibition has shown success in treating metastatic cutaneous melanoma but has limited efficacy against metastatic uveal melanoma, a rare variant arising from the immune privileged eye. To better understand this resistance, we comprehensively profile 100 human uveal melanoma metastases using clinicogenomics, transcriptomics, and tumor infiltrating lymphocyte potency assessment. We find that over half of these metastases harbor tumor infiltrating lymphocytes with potent autologous tumor specificity, despite low mutational burden and resistance to prior immunotherapies. However, we observe strikingly low intratumoral T cell receptor clonality within the tumor microenvironment even after prior immunotherapies. To harness these quiescent tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, we develop a transcriptomic biomarker to enable in vivo identification and ex vivo liberation to counter their growth suppression. Finally, we demonstrate that adoptive transfer of these transcriptomically selected tumor infiltrating lymphocytes can promote tumor immunity in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma when other immunotherapies are incapable."

The death toll from skin cancer rises with a late diagnosis. An automated mechanism for early-stage skin cancer detection is required to diminish the mortality rate. Visual examination with scanning or imaging screening is a common mechanism for detecting this disease, but due to its similarity to other diseases, this mechanism shows the least accuracy. This article introduces an innovative segmentation mechanism that operates on the ISIC dataset to divide skin images into critical and non-critical sections. The main objective of the research is to segment lesions from dermoscopic skin images. The suggested framework is completed in two steps. The first step is to pre-process the image; for this, we have applied a bottom hat filter for hair removal and image enhancement by applying DCT and color coefficient. In the next phase, a background subtraction method with midpoint analysis is applied for segmentation to extract the region of interest and achieves an accuracy of 95.30%. The ground truth for the validation of segmentation is accomplished by comparing the segmented images with validation data provided with the ISIC dataset."

Anti-PD-1-based immune checkpoint inhibition therapy is now the standard of care for many patients with stage IIB or higher melanoma. Neoadjuvant approaches have demonstrated superior outcomes compared to adjuvant-alone therapy.

In its canonical role, p16 inhibits the G1-S-phase cell cycle progression through suppression of cyclin-dependent kinases. Interestingly, p16 also has roles in metabolic reprogramming, and we previously published that loss of p16 promotes nucleotide synthesis via the pentose phosphate pathway. However, the broader impact of p16/CDKN2A loss on other nucleotide metabolic pathways and potential therapeutic targets remains unexplored. Using CRISPR knockout libraries in isogenic human and mouse melanoma cell lines, we determined several nucleotide metabolism genes essential for the survival of cells with loss of p16/CDKN2A. Consistently, many of these genes are upregulated in melanoma cells with p16 knockdown or endogenously low CDKN2A expression. We determined that cells with low p16/CDKN2A expression are sensitive to multiple inhibitors of de novo purine synthesis, including antifolates. Finally, tumors with p16 knockdown were more sensitive to the antifolate methotrexate in vivo than control tumors. Together, our data provide evidence to reevaluate the utility of these drugs in patients with p16/CDKN2Alow tumors as loss of p16/CDKN2A may provide a therapeutic window for these agents."

The aim of this study was to investigate whether the mitotic rate is associated with other prognostic clinical and anatomopathological characteristics. After adjusting for other anatomopathological characteristics, we then verified the prognostic value of the number of mitoses, determining in which population subgroup this variable may have greater prognostic significance on 3-year mortality. The Veneto Cancer Registry (Registro Tumori del Veneto-RTV), a high-resolution population-based dataset covering the regional population of approximately 4.9 million residents, served as the clinical data source for the analysis. Inclusion criteria included all incident cases of invasive cutaneous malignant melanoma recorded in the RTV in 2015 (1,050 cases) and 2017 (1,205 cases) for which the number of mitoses was available. Mitotic classes were represented by Kaplan-Meier curves for short-term overall survival. Cox regression calculated hazard ratios in multivariable models to evaluate the independent prognostic role of different mitotic rate cut-offs. The results indicate that the mitotic rate is associated with other survival prognostic factors: the variables comprising the TNM stage (e.g., tumor thickness, ulceration, lymph node status and presence of metastasis) and the characteristics that are not included in the TNM stage (e.g., age, site of tumor, type of morphology, growth pattern and TIL). Moreover, this study demonstrated that, even after adjusting for these prognostic factors, mitoses per mm2 are associated with higher mortality, particularly in T2 patients. In conclusion, these findings revealed the need to include the mitotic rate in the histological diagnosis because it correlates with the prognosis as an independent factor. The mitotic rate can be used to develop a personalized medicine approach in the treatment and follow-up monitoring of melanoma patients."

This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of liver fibrosis in psoriasis and identify predictors for fibrosis. This is a cross-sectional study conducted from December 2012 to June 2016 assessing psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis patients attended at four centers in Mexico City. Data regarding history of the skin disease, previous and current medication, and previously diagnosed liver disease was collected. Liver fibrosis was assessed with four different non-invasive methods (FIB4, APRI, NAFLD score and elastography). We compared data based on the presence of fibrosis. Adjusted-logistic regression models were performed to estimate OR and 95% CI. A total of 160 patients were included. The prevalence of significant fibrosis using elastography was 25% (n = 40), and 7.5% (n = 12) for advanced fibrosis. Patients with fibrosis had higher prevalence of obesity (60% vs 30.8%, P = 0.04), type 2 diabetes (40% vs 27.5%, P = 0.003), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase levels (70.8±84.4 vs. 40.1±39.2, P = 0.002), and lower platelets (210.7±58.9 vs. 242.8±49.7, P = 0.0009). Multivariate analysis showed that body mass index (OR1.11, 95%CI 1.02-1.21), type 2 diabetes (OR 3.44, 95%CI 1.2-9.88), and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (OR 1.01, 95%CI1-1.02) were associated with the presence of fibrosis. The use of methotrexate was not associated. Patients with psoriasis are at higher risk of fibrosis. Metabolic dysfunction, rather than solely the use of hepatotoxic drugs, likely plays a major role; it may be beneficial to consider elastography regardless of the treatment used. Metabolic factors should be assessed, and lifestyle modification should be encouraged."

The aim of this study was to compare the oncologic outcomes between observation and SLNB in cN0 high-risk HNcSCC patients. We retrospectively enrolled patients from the SEER database and evaluated the impact of observation versus SLNB on disease-specific survival (DSS) and overall survival (OS) using a Propensity Score Matching (PSM) analysis. A total of 9804 patients were included, with 1169 cases treated by SLNB. Successful retrieval of the sentinel lymph node was achieved in 1130 procedures. After PSM and subsequent multivariate analysis, SLNB was found to be an independent predictor for improved DSS, with a hazard ratio of 0.70 (95% confidence interval: 0.56-0.86). In patients presenting with two or three high-risk factors, SLNB was associated with better DSS (p = 0.021 and p = 0.044), but similar OS (p = 0.506 and p = 0.801) when compared to observation. However, in patients exhibiting four high-risk factors, SLNB demonstrated significantly improved DSS (p = 0.040) and OS (p = 0.028) compared to observation. Our findings suggest that SLNB is a highly feasible technique in HNcSCC and provides significant survival benefits. It is strongly recommended in patients with two or more high-risk factors, as it can help guide treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes."

Understanding RNA N6-methyladenosine (M6A) significance in SKCM is crucial for prognosis, tumor microenvironment (TME), immune cell presence, and immunotherapy efficacy. We analyzed 23 M6A regulators using SKCM samples from TCGA and GEO databases, identifying three M6A modification patterns linked to TME cell infiltration. Principal component analysis (PCA) yielded an M6A score for individual tumors, utilizing patient gene expression profiles and CNV data from TCGA. M6A modification patterns play a crucial role in SKCM development and progression, influencing tumor attributes such as inflammatory stage, subtype, TME interstitial activity, and genetic mutations. The M6A score independently predicts patient outcomes and correlates with improved response to immunotherapy, validated across anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 therapy cohorts. M6A modifications significantly impact the TME landscape, with the M6A score serving as a predictive marker for immunotherapy response. Integrating M6A-related information into clinical practice could revolutionize SKCM management and treatment strategies."

However, unification of terminology in LC-OCT is lacking. By reviewing the LC-OCT literature in the field of dermato-oncology, this study aimed to develop a unified terminological glossary integrated with traditional histopathology. A PRISMA-guided literature-search was conducted for English-language publications on LC-OCT of actinic keratosis (AK), keratinocyte carcinoma (KC), and malignant melanoma (MM). Study characteristics and terminology were compiled. To harmonize LC-OCT terminology and integrate with histopathology, synonymous terms for image features of AK, KC, and MM were merged by two authors, organized by skin layer and lesion-type. A subset of key LC-OCT image-markers with histopathological correlates that in combination were typical of AK, squamous cell carcinoma in situ (SCCis), invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and MM in traditional histopathology, were selected from the glossary by an experienced dermatopathologist. Seventeen observational studies of AK (7 studies), KC (13 studies), MM (7 studies) utilizing LC-OCT were included, with 117 terms describing either AK, KC, or MM. These were merged to produce 45 merged-terms (61.5% reduction); 5 assigned to the stratum corneum (SC), 23 to the viable epidermis, 2 to dermo-epidermal junction (DEJ) and 15 to the dermis. For each lesion, mandatory key image-markers were a well-defined DEJ and presence of mild/moderate but not severe epidermal dysplasia for AK, severe epidermal dysplasia and well-defined DEJ for SCCis, interrupted DEJ and/or dermal broad infiltrative strands for invasive SCC, dermal lobules connected and/or unconnected to the epidermis for BCC, as well as single atypical melanocytes and/or nest of atypical melanocytes in the epidermis or dermis for MM. This review compiles evidence on LC-OCT in dermato-oncology, providing a harmonized histopathology-integrated terminology and key image-markers for each lesion. Further evaluation is required to determine the clinical value of these findings."
+6011,skin cancer,38623955,The fusion of light and immunity: Advancements in photoimmunotherapy for melanoma.,"Metastatic melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer with high mortality and recurrence rates. Despite the clinical success of recent immunotherapy approaches, prevailing resistance rates necessitate the continued development of novel therapeutic options. Photoimmunotherapy (PIT) is emerging as a promising immunotherapy strategy that uses photodynamic therapy (PDT) to unleash systemic immune responses against tumor sites while maintaining the superior tumor-specificity and minimally invasive nature of traditional PDT. In this review, we discuss recent advances in PIT and strategies for the management of melanoma using PIT. PIT can strongly induce immunogenic cell death, inviting the concomitant application of immune checkpoint blockade or adoptive cell therapies. PIT can also be leveraged to selectively remove the suppressive immune populations associated with immunotherapy resistance. The modular nature of PIT therapy design combined with the potential for patient-specific antigen selection or drug co-delivery makes PIT an alluring option for future personalized melanoma care."

To circumvent this problem, surgeons have developed different flap techniques to mobilize adjacent tissue to repair aesthetically sensitive defects. We describe our experience, outcomes, and valuable tips for using the ""tree flap,"" a novel modification of the hatchet flap that extends the back cut to significantly increase mobility, leaving only a small skin paddle to maintain perfusion to the flap. The combination of undermining, a rotatory component, and minimal skin attachment allows radical mobility without compromising blood supply. Thus, the tree flap allows for reconstruction of defects of the dorsum of the nose and defects near the nasal tip with ease, given both advancement and rotational movements. Compared with other local flaps such as the shark pedicle flap or bilobed flap, the tree flap has a similar learning curve, minimal donor site morbidity, and equivalent aesthetic outcome. It may be used to repair larger defects that may not be amenable to the bilobed flap as an alternative to a full-thickness skin graft. In our experience, the tree flap also has the advantage of a lower rate of pin cushioning when compared with other options such as the bilobed flap. The tree flap has great mobility and is a reliable option for reconstruction of the lower one-third of the nose with excellent aesthetic results and minimal complications."

Changes in the concentration of skin volatile metabolites indicate many diseases, including diabetes, cancer, and infectious diseases. Researchers focused on skin-emitted compounds to gain insight into the pathophysiology of various diseases. In the case of skin volatolomics research, it is noteworthy that sample preparation, sampling protocol, analytical techniques, and comprehensive validation are important for the successful integration of skin metabolic profiles into regular clinical settings. Solid-phase microextraction techniques and polymer-based active sorbent traps were developed to capture the skin-emitted volatile compounds. The primary advantage of these sample preparation techniques is the ability to efficiently and targetedly capture skin metabolites, thus improving the detection of the biomarkers associated with various diseases. In further research, polydimethyl-based patches were utilized for skin research due to their biocompatibility and thermal stability properties. The microextraction sampling tools coupled with high sensitive Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer provided a potential platform for skin volatolomes, thus emerging as a state-of-the-art analytical technique. Later, technological advancements, including the design of wearable sensors, have enriched skin-based research as it can integrate the information from skin-emitted volatile profiles into a portable platform. However, individual-specific hydration, temperature, and skin conditions can influence variations in skin volatile concentration. Considering the subject-specific skin depth, sampling time standardization, and suitable techniques may improve the skin sampling techniques for the potential discovery of various skin-based marker compounds associated with diseases.

+6021,skin cancer,38622197,Overcoming BRAF and CDK4/6 inhibitor resistance by inhibiting MAP3K3-dependent protection against YAP lysosomal degradation.,"Transcriptional programs governed by YAP play key roles in conferring resistance to various molecular-targeted anticancer agents. Strategies aimed at inhibiting YAP activity have garnered substantial interest as a means to overcome drug resistance. However, despite extensive research into the canonical Hippo-YAP pathway, few clinical agents are currently available to counteract YAP-associated drug resistance. Here, we present a novel mechanism of YAP stability regulation by MAP3K3 that is independent of Hippo kinases. Furthermore, we identified MAP3K3 as a target for overcoming anticancer drug resistance. Depletion of MAP3K3 led to a substantial reduction in the YAP protein level in melanoma and breast cancer cells. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed that MAP3K3 phosphorylates YAP at serine 405. This MAP3K3-mediated phosphorylation event hindered the binding of the E3 ubiquitin ligase FBXW7 to YAP, thereby preventing its p62-mediated lysosomal degradation. Robust YAP activation was observed in CDK4/6 inhibitor-resistant luminal breast cancer cells. Knockdown or pharmacological inhibition of MAP3K3 effectively suppressed YAP activity and restored CDK4/6 inhibitor sensitivity. Similarly, elevated MAP3K3 expression supported the prosurvival activity of YAP in BRAF inhibitor-resistant melanoma cells. Inhibition of MAP3K3 decreased YAP-dependent cell proliferation and successfully restored BRAF inhibitor sensitivity. In conclusion, our study reveals a previously unrecognized mechanism for the regulation of YAP stability, suggesting MAP3K3 inhibition as a promising strategy for overcoming resistance to CDK4/6 and BRAF inhibitors in cancer treatment."

Mitochondrial dysfunction is closely linked to cellular damage and can potentially contribute to the aging process. The purpose of this study was to investigate the subcellular structure of mitochondria and their activities in various cellular environments using super-resolution stimulated emission depletion (STED) nanoscopy. We examined the morphological dispersion of mitochondria below the diffraction limit in sub-cultured human primary skin fibroblasts and mouse skin tissues. Confocal microscopy provides only the overall morphology of the mitochondrial membrane and an indiscerptible location of nucleoids within the diffraction limit. Conversely, super-resolution STED nanoscopy allowed us to resolve the nanoscale distribution of translocase clusters on the mitochondrial outer membrane and accurately quantify the number of nucleoids per cell in each sample. Comparable results were obtained by analyzing the translocase distribution in the mouse tissues. Furthermore, we precisely and quantitatively analyzed biomolecular distribution in nucleoids, such as the mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), using STED nanoscopy. Our findings highlight the efficacy of super-resolution fluorescence imaging in quantifying aging-related changes on the mitochondrial sub-structure in cells and tissues."

Utilizing the distinctive characteristics of hydrogels, such as their biocompatibility, versatility, and higher drug loading capabilities, in the present work, we prepared ionic hydrogels through synergistic interaction between ionic liquids (ILs), choline alanine ([Cho][Ala]), and choline proline ([Cho][Pro]) with oleic acid (OA). ILs used in the study are biocompatible and enhance the solubility of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), whereas OA is a known chemical penetration enhancer. The concentration-dependent (OA) change in morphological aggregates, that is, from cylindrical micelles to worm-like micelles to hydrogels was formed with both ILs and was characterized by SANS measurement, whereas the interactions involved were confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy. The hydrogels have excellent mechanical properties, which studied by rheology and their morphology through FE-SEM analysis. The in vitro skin permeation study revealed that both hydrogels penetrated 255 times ([Cho][Ala]) and 250 times ([Cho][Pro]) more as compared to PBS after 48 h. Those ionic hydrogels exhibited the capability to change the lipid and keratin arrangements within the skin layer, thereby enhancing the transdermal permeation of the 5-FU. Both ionic hydrogels exhibit excellent biocompatibility with normal cell lines (L-132 cells) as well as cancerous cell lines (MCF-7 cells), demonstrating over 92% cell viability after 48 h in both cell lines. In vitro, the cytotoxicity of the 5-FU-loaded hydrogels was evaluated on MCF-7 and HeLa cell lines. These results indicate that the investigated biocompatible and nontoxic ionic hydrogels enable the transdermal delivery of hydrophilic drugs, making them a viable option for effectively treating breast cancer."

+6033,skin cancer,38619274,Ex Vivo Culture of Circulating Tumor Cells in the Cerebral Spinal Fluid from Melanoma Patients to Study Melanoma-Associated Leptomeningeal Disease.,"Melanoma-associated leptomeningeal disease (M-LMD) occurs when circulating tumor cells (CTCs) enter into the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and colonize the meninges, the membrane layers that protect the brain and the spinal cord. Once established, the prognosis for M-LMD patients is dismal, with overall survival ranging from weeks to months. This is primarily due to a paucity in our understanding of the disease and, as a consequence, the availability of effective treatment options. Defining the underlying biology of M-LMD will significantly improve the ability to adapt available therapies for M-LMD treatment or design novel inhibitors for this universally fatal disease. A major barrier, however, lies in obtaining sufficient quantities of CTCs from the patient-derived CSF (CSF-CTCs) to conduct preclinical experiments, such as molecular characterization, functional analysis, and in vivo efficacy studies. Culturing CSF-CTCs ex vivo has also proven to be challenging. To address this, a novel protocol for the culture of patient-derived M-LMD CSF-CTCs ex vivo and in vivo is developed. The incorporation of conditioned media produced by human meningeal cells (HMCs) is found to be critical to the procedure. Cytokine array analysis reveals that factors produced by HMCs, such as insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs) and vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), are important in supporting CSF-CTC survival ex vivo. Here, the usefulness of the isolated patient-derived CSF-CTC lines is demonstrated in determining the efficacy of inhibitors that target the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways. In addition, the ability to intrathecally inoculate these cells in vivo to establish murine models of M-LMD that can be employed for preclinical testing of approved or novel therapies is shown. These tools can help unravel the underlying biology driving CSF-CTC establishment in the meninges and identify novel therapies to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with M-LMD."
+6034,skin cancer,38619202,Dermoscopic structures and patterns used in melanoma detection.,"Melanoma is the leading cause of skin cancer-related deaths. Yet, early detection remains the most cost-effective means of preventing death from melanoma. Early detection can be achieved by a physician and/or the patient (also known as a self-skin exam). Skin exams performed by physicians are further enhanced using dermoscopy. Dermoscopy is a non-invasive technique that allows for the visualization of subsurface structures that are otherwise not visible to the naked eye. Evidence demonstrates that dermoscopy improves the diagnostic accuracy for skin cancer, including melanoma; it decreases the number of unnecessary skin biopsies of benign lesions and improves the benign-to-malignant biopsy ratio. Yet, these improvements are contingent on acquiring dermoscopy training. Dermoscopy is used by clinicians who evaluate skin lesions and perform skin cancer screenings. In general, under dermoscopy nevi tend to appear as organized lesions, with one or two structures and colors, and no melanoma-specific structures. In contrast, melanomas tend to manifest a disorganized pattern, with more than two colors and, usually, at least one melanoma-specific structure. This review is intended to familiarize the reader with the dermoscopic structures and patterns used in melanoma detection."

Therefore, we aimed to unravel novel therapeutic strategies for melanoma patients. Preclinical and clinical studies show that melanoma patients may benefit from a treatment with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi). In this study, we focus on PARP1 as a potential biomarker to predict the response of melanoma cells to PARPi therapy. We found that melanoma cells with high basal PARP1 expression exhibit significantly increased cell death after PARPi treatment owing to higher PARP1 trapping compared with melanoma cells with low PARP1 expression. In addition, we could demonstrate that PARP1 expression levels are low in nonmalignant skin cells, and metastatic melanomas show considerably higher PARP1 levels compared with primary melanomas. Most strikingly, we found that high PARP1 levels correlate with worse overall survival of late stage metastasized melanoma patients. In conclusion, we show that PARP1 might act as a biomarker to predict the response to PARPi therapy, and that in particular the late stage metastasized melanoma patients are especially sensitive to PARPi therapy owing to elevated PARP1 expression. Our data suggest that the PARPi cytotoxicity primarily will affect the high PARP1 expressing melanoma cells, rather than the low PARP1 expressing nonmalignant skin cells resulting in only low side effects."

To monitor lipemia, some systems measure absorbance using an analyzer. This report describes a novel case of interference with the lipemia index without lipemia. A 64-year-old woman with giant basal cell carcinoma underwent resection and sentinel lymph node biopsy. The patient had been subcutaneously injected with patent blue during sentinel lymph node resection. After surgery, her serum and urine were yellow-green, and the lipemia index, calculated by measuring absorbance at 658 nm (main wavelength) and 694 nm (secondary wavelength) using a JCA-BM8040 chemistry analyzer, was high. The absorbance spectrum of the patient's serum and patent blue solution were compared to determine the cause of the high lipemia index. The patient's serum and the patent blue solution showed absorption at wavelengths between 540 and 698 nm. Moreover, the absorbance was concentration-dependent for patent blue. These results thus indicated that the patient's serum contained patent blue. Here, we report a case wherein patent blue affected the lipemia index. Thus, it must be noted that patent blue injection may yield inaccurate results when evaluating lipemia index."

In this issue of the JCI, Hansen and authors report on their tracking of CD8+ T cells reactive to MCPyV T antigen (T-Ag) in the peripheral blood of 26 patients with MCC who were undergoing frontline anti-programmed cell death protein-1 (anti-PD-1) immunotherapy. They discovered unique T cell epitopes and used the power of bar-coded tetramers to portray immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced immunogenicity as a predictor of clinical response.

Blockade of the programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) pathway has shown remarkable response rates, but evidence for therapy-associated T-Ag-specific immune response and therapeutic strategies for the nonresponding fraction are both limited. We tracked T-Ag-reactive CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood of 26 MCC patients under anti-PD1 therapy, using DNA-barcoded pMHC multimers, displaying all peptides from the predicted HLA ligandome of the oncoproteins, covering 33 class I haplotypes. We observed a broad T cell recognition of T-Ags, including identification of 20 T-Ag-derived epitopes we believe to be novel. Broadening of the T-Ag recognition profile and increased T cell frequencies during therapy were strongly associated with clinical response and prolonged progression-free survival. T-Ag-specific T cells could be further boosted and expanded directly from peripheral blood using artificial antigen-presenting scaffolds, even in patients with no detectable T-Ag-specific T cells. These T cells provided strong tumor-rejection capacity while retaining a favorable phenotype for adoptive cell transfer. These findings demonstrate that T-Ag-specific T cells are associated with the clinical outcome to PD-1 blockade and that Ag-presenting scaffolds can be used to boost such responses."

The Kerecis™ fish skin xenograft is a decellularized skin matrix that has been introduced to treat complicated wounds. The objective of this presentation is to highlight the use of fish skin xenograft in the treatment of a complex right flank wound with stool contamination, necrotizing soft tissue infection due to perforated colon cancer, and sepsis. This presentation follows the wound healing for 28 days following the operation and demonstrates the efficacy of fish skin xenografts in improved wound healing. A 61-year-old female with a past medical history of colon cancer and recent chemotherapy treatment presented with colon perforation causing right flank cellulitis and sepsis with necrotic abdominal wall tissue extending into the hip joint. She was taken for an emergent exploratory laparotomy, drainage of abdominal and retroperitoneal abscesses, open right hemicolectomy, diverting ileostomy, abdominal washout, intra-abdominal omental patch, placement of Strattice mesh, and debridement of necrotizing soft tissue infection of the right flank. After extensive debridement of her 15x10cmx5cm deep wound and placement of a Kerecis™ fish skin xenograft, the wound had completely healed with excellent granulation tissue, and the patient was scheduled for placement of a skin graft 28 days following the initial procedure. The results after xenograft application were outstanding, supporting the use of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) based xenografts in wound treatment due to their anti-inflammatory and angiogenic properties. This is definitely an option that needs to be considered in expediting the healing process for complex wounds."

Patients have characteristic cutaneous findings and possible muscle involvement. In the latter, muscle enzymes are elevated, and the electromyogram shows varied changes. Muscle or skin biopsy and myositis-specific antibodies confirm the diagnosis. Here, we report the case of an 86-year-old woman with cutaneous lesions, proximal weakness, and sicca symptoms. Muscle enzymes and electromyogram were normal. Antinuclear antibodies were elevated, and anti-TIF1γ and anti-Ro52 antibodies were positive. Muscle biopsy was compatible with the diagnosis of DM, and salivary gland biopsy confirmed Sjögren's syndrome. Malignancy investigation identified a rectal cancer, which was resected. This case illustrates a rare form of cancer presentation - anti-TIF1γ DM with normal muscle enzymes and electromyogram and concomitant secondary Sjögren's syndrome.

However, existing datasets in this domain have significant limitations, including a small number of image samples, limited disease conditions, insufficient annotations, and non-standardized image acquisitions. To address these shortcomings, we propose a novel framework called DermSynth3D. DermSynth3D blends skin disease patterns onto 3D textured meshes of human subjects using a differentiable renderer and generates 2D images from various camera viewpoints under chosen lighting conditions in diverse background scenes. Our method adheres to top-down rules that constrain the blending and rendering process to create 2D images with skin conditions that mimic in-the-wild acquisitions, ensuring more meaningful results. The framework generates photo-realistic 2D dermatological images and the corresponding dense annotations for semantic segmentation of the skin, skin conditions, body parts, bounding boxes around lesions, depth maps, and other 3D scene parameters, such as camera position and lighting conditions. DermSynth3D allows for the creation of custom datasets for various dermatology tasks. We demonstrate the effectiveness of data generated using DermSynth3D by training DL models on synthetic data and evaluating them on various dermatology tasks using real 2D dermatological images. We make our code publicly available at https://github.com/sfu-mial/DermSynth3D."
+6056,skin cancer,38615305,Exploring a specialized programmed-cell death patterns to predict the prognosis and sensitivity of immunotherapy in cutaneous melanoma via machine learning.,"The mortality and therapeutic failure in cutaneous melanoma (CM) are mainly caused by wide metastasis and chemotherapy resistance. Meanwhile, immunotherapy is considered a crucial therapy strategy for CM patients. However, the efficiency of currently available methods and biomarkers in predicting the response of immunotherapy and prognosis of CM is limited. Programmed cell death (PCD) plays a significant role in the occurrence, development, and therapy of various malignant tumors. In this research, we integrated fourteen types of PCD, multi-omics data from TCGA-SKCM and other cohorts in GEO, and clinical CM patients to develop our analysis. Based on significant PCD patterns, two PCD-related CM clusters with different prognosis, tumor microenvironment (TME), and response to immunotherapy were identified. Subsequently, seven PCD-related features, especially CD28, CYP1B1, JAK3, LAMP3, SFN, STAT4, and TRAF1, were utilized to establish the prognostic signature, namely cell death index (CDI). CDI accurately predicted the response to immunotherapy in both CM and other cancers. A nomogram with potential superior predictive ability was constructed, and potential drugs targeting CM patients with specific CDI have also been identified. Given all the above, a novel CDI gene signature was indicated to predict the prognosis and exploit precision therapeutic strategies of CM patients, providing unique opportunities for clinical intelligence and new management methods for the therapy of CM."

These altBRAFs have been described as being generated by alternative pre-mRNA splicing, and splicing modulation has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy to overcome resistance. In contrast, we report that altBRAFs are generated through genomic deletions. Using different in vitro models of altBRAF-mediated melanoma resistance, we demonstrate the production of altBRAFs exclusively from the BRAF V600E allele, correlating with corresponding genomic deletions. Genomic deletions are also detected in tumor samples from melanoma and breast cancer patients expressing altBRAFs. Along with the identification of altBRAFs in BRAF wild-type and in MAPKi-naive melanoma samples, our results represent a major shift in our understanding of mechanisms leading to the generation of BRAF transcripts variants associated with resistance in melanoma."

Trichilemmomas originate from the outer root sheath of the hair follicular unit. Other similar growths originating from this locus include dilated pore of Winer, pilar sheath acanthoma, and pilar cyst, each delineating a unique facet of follicular pathogenesis.  Trichilemmomas often present as asymptomatic, solitary, or multiple verrucous papules, primarily surfacing on the face or neck. When solitary, these lesions can often be clinically misdiagnosed due to their resemblance to other skin conditions, such as verruca vulgaris, verrucous papilloma, basal cell carcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma, thereby posing diagnostic challenges. However, when a patient presents with numerous trichilemmomas, clinicians should evaluate potential associations with genetic syndromes, notably Cowden syndrome. Trichilemmomas may also be associated with other benign neoplasms such as nevus sebaceous and syringocystadenoma papilliferum. Histopathologically, trichilemmomas exhibit a lobular proliferation extending from the epidermis, characterized by pale-to-clear cells exhibiting peripheral palisading, enveloped by a thickened eosinophilic basement membrane. This is often accompanied by overlying hyperkeratosis and variable papillomatosis. In addition, a desmoplastic variant of trichilemmoma may be present, characterized by infiltrating basaloid cells amidst a thick, sclerotic stroma. "

In this study, we aimed to improve the efficacy of intratumoral chemotherapy using a novel approach comprising peri-tumoral injection of sustained-release liposomal nanoparticles containing phenylephrine, which is a potent vasoconstrictor. Using a preclinical model of melanoma, we have previously shown that systemically administered (intravenous) phenylephrine could transiently shunt blood flow to the tumor at the time of drug delivery, which in turn improved antitumor responses. This approach was called dynamic control of tumor-associated vessels. Herein, we used liposomal phenylephrine nanoparticles as a ""local"" dynamic control strategy for the B16 melanoma. Local dynamic control was shown to increase the retention and exposure time of tumors to intratumorally injected chemotherapy (melphalan). C57BL/6 mice bearing B16 tumors were treated with intratumoral melphalan and peri-tumoral injection of sustained-release liposomal phenylephrine nanoparticles (i.e., the local dynamic control protocol). These mice had statistically significantly improved antitumor responses compared to melphalan alone ("

To date, the immunohistochemical diagnostic panel in cats is based on specific melanocytic markers (Melan-A and PNL2) and a nonspecific but sensitive marker (S100). In human medicine, SOX-10 is reported to be a sensitive antibody for the detection of melanoma micrometastasis in the lymph node. TRP-1, an enzyme involved in melanogenesis, has recently been used in humans and dogs as a specific melanocyte marker. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cross-reactivity and the expression of SOX-10 and TRP-1 antibodies in feline normal tissue and melanocytic tumors. Thirty-one cases of ocular, cutaneous, and oral melanomas were retrospectively evaluated and confirmed by histopathological examination and by immunolabeling with Melan-A and/or PNL2. SOX-10 nuclear expression in normal tissues was localized in epidermal, subepidermal, hair bulb, and iridal stromal melanocytes and dermal nerves. In melanomas, nuclear expression of SOX-10 was detected in ocular (11/12; 92%), oral (6/7; 86%), and cutaneous sites (12/12; 100%). TRP-1 cytoplasmic immunolabeling in normal tissue was observed in epidermal and bulbar melanocytes and in the lining pigmented epithelium of the iris and in its stroma. Its expression was positively correlated to the degree of pigmentation in the tumor and was observed in 75% of ocular (9/12), 43% of oral (3/7), and 33% of cutaneous melanomas (4/12). This study demonstrated the cross-reactivity of SOX-10 and TRP-1 antibodies in feline non-neoplastic melanocytes and their expression in ocular and nonocular melanomas."

Efforts to minimize the risk of infection necessitate preventive measures encompassing both environmental and host-focused strategies. While a substantial number of infections in oncologic patients originate from microorganisms within their native microbiological environment, such as the oral cavity, intestines, and skin, the concrete risk of bloodstream infections linked to the consumption of contaminated food and beverages in the community cannot be overlooked. Ensuring food quality and hygiene is essential to mitigating the impact of foodborne illnesses on vulnerable patients. The neutropenic diet (ND) has been proposed to minimize the risk of sepsis during neutropenic periods. The ND aims to minimize bacterial entry into the gut and bacterial translocation. However, a standardized definition for ND and consensus guidelines for specific food exclusions are lacking. Most centers adopt ND during neutropenic phases, but challenges in achieving caloric intake are common. The ND has not demonstrated any associated benefits and does not ensure improved overall survival. Consequently, providing unified and standardized food safety instructions is imperative for pediatric patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Despite the lack of evidence, ND is still widely administered to both pediatric and adult patients as a precautionary measure. This narrative review focuses on the impact of foodborne infections in pediatric cancer patients and the role of the ND in comparison to food safety practices in patients undergoing chemotherapy or HCT. Prioritizing education regarding proper food storage, preparation, and cooking techniques proves more advantageous than merely focusing on dietary limitations. The absence of standardized guidelines underscores the necessity for further research in this field."

For other agents, such as anti-CTLA4 antibodies, no biomarkers exist, and tolerability can limit administration. In this study, using publicly available genomic datasets, we evaluated the expression of the macrophage scavenger receptor-A (SR-A) (MSR1) and its association with a response to check-point inhibitors (CPI). MSR1 was associated with the presence of macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs) and neutrophils in most of the studied indications.

The results of multiple studies have demonstrated that patients with PD are at reduced risk for the majority of neoplasms. Several potential biological explanations exist for the inverse relationship between cancer and PD. Recent results identified several PD-associated proteins and factors mediating cancer development and cancer-associated factors affecting PD. Accumulating data point to the role of genetic traits, members of the synuclein family, neurotrophic factors, the ubiquitin-proteasome system, circulating melatonin, and transcription factors as mediators. Here, we present recent data about shared pathogenetic factors and mediators that might be involved in the association between these two diseases. We discuss how these factors, individually or in combination, may be involved in pathology, serve as links between PD and cancer, and affect the prevalence of these disorders. Identification of these factors and investigation of their mechanisms of action would lead to the discovery of new targets for the treatment of both diseases."

This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of the basophil activation test by flow cytometry (BAT-FC) and the newly developed sIgE-microarray and BAT-microarray in diagnosing IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reactions to PCs. A total of 24 patients with DHRs to PCs (20 oxaliplatin and four carboplatin) were evaluated: thirteen patients were diagnosed as allergic with positive skin tests (STs) or drug provocation tests (DPTs), six patients were diagnosed as non-allergic with negative STs and DPTs, and five patients were classified as suspected allergic because DPTs could not be performed. In addition, four carboplatin-tolerant patients were included as controls. The BAT-FC was positive in 2 of 13 allergic patients, with a sensitivity of 15.4% and specificity of 100%. However, the sIgE- and BAT-microarray were positive in 11 of 13 DHR patients, giving a sensitivity of over 84.6% and a specificity of 90%. Except for one patient, all samples from the non-allergic and control groups were negative for sIgE- and BAT-microarray. Our experience indicated that the sIgE- and BAT-microarray could be helpful in the endophenotyping of IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reactions to PCs and may provide an advance in decision making for drug provocation testing."
+6074,skin cancer,38612401,Anti-Melanoma Effects of Miconazole: Investigating the Mitochondria Involvement.,"Miconazole is an antimycotic drug showing anti-cancer effects in several cancers. However, little is known on its effects in melanoma. A375 and SK-MEL-28 human melanoma cell lines were exposed to miconazole and clotrimazole (up to 100 mM). Proliferation, viability with MTT assay and vascular mimicry were assayed at 24 h treatment. Molecular effects were measured at 6 h, namely, ATP-, ROS-release and mitochondria-related cytofluorescence. A metabolomic profile was also investigated at 6 h treatment. Carnitine was one of the most affected metabolites; therefore, the expression of 29 genes involved in carnitine metabolism was investigated in the public platform GEPIA2 on 461 melanoma patients and 558 controls. After 24 h treatments, miconazole and clotrimazole strongly and significantly inhibited proliferation in the presence of 10% serum on either melanoma cell lines; they also strongly reduced viability and vascular mimicry. After 6 h treatment, ATP reduction and ROS increase were observed, as well as a significant reduction in mitochondria-related fluorescence. Further, in A375, miconazole strongly and significantly altered expression of several metabolites including carnitines, phosphatidyl-cholines, all amino acids and several other small molecules, mostly metabolized in mitochondria. The expression of 12 genes involved in carnitine metabolism was found significantly modified in melanoma patients, 6 showing a significant impact on patients' survival. Finally, miconazole antiproliferation activity on A375 was found completely abrogated in the presence of carnitine, supporting a specific role of carnitine in melanoma protection toward miconazole effect, and was significantly reversed in the presence of caspases inhibitors such as ZVAD-FMK and Ac-DEVD-CHO, and a clear pro-apoptotic effect was observed in miconazole-treated cells, by FACS analysis of Annexin V-FITC stained cells. Miconazole strongly affects proliferation and other biological features in two human melanoma cell lines, as well as mitochondria-related functions such as ATP- and ROS-release, and the expression of several metabolites is largely dependent on mitochondria function. Miconazole, likely acting via carnitine and mitochondria-dependent apoptosis, is therefore suggested as a candidate for further investigations in melanoma treatments."
+6075,skin cancer,38612328,The Use of Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping for Canine Mast Cell Tumors.,"Cancer is the leading cause of death in companion animals. The evaluation of locoregional lymph nodes, known as lymph node mapping, is a critical process in assessing the stage of various solid tumors, such as mast cell tumors (MCTs), anal gland anal sac adenocarcinoma, melanoma, and mammary gland adenocarcinoma. MCTs are among the most prevalent skin malignancies in dogs. Staging is used to describe the extent of neoplastic disease, provide a framework for rational treatment planning, and evaluate treatment results. The aim of this review is to present the current knowledge on sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping in canine MCTs, its influence on treatment decisions and prognosis, as well as the advantages and limitations of different SLN techniques currently available in veterinary oncology. A search methodology was adopted using the PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. Critical analyses of up-to-date research have shown that lymphoscintigraphy can achieve a lymph node detection rate of between 91 and 100%. This method is becoming increasingly recognized as the gold standard in both human and veterinary medicine. In addition, initial studies on a limited number of animals have shown that computed tomographic lymphography (CTL) is highly effective in the SLN mapping of MCTs, with detection rates between 90 and 100%. The first study on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) also revealed that this advanced technique has up to a 95% detection rate in canine MCTs. These methods provide non-ionizing alternatives with high detection capabilities. Furthermore, combining computed tomography and near-infrared fluorescence (NIR/NIR-LND) lymphography is promising as each technique identifies different SLNs. Indirect lymphography with Lipiodol or Iohexol is technically feasible and may be also used to effectively detect SLNs. The integration of these mapping techniques into routine MCT staging is essential for enhancing the precision of MCT staging and potentially improving therapeutic outcomes. However, further clinical trials involving a larger number of animals are necessary to refine these procedures and fully evaluate the clinical benefits of each technique."

In particular, YOLOv7 achieved superior performance with an Intersection over Union (IoU) of 86.3%, a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 75.4%, an F1-measure of 80%, and an inference time of 0.32 s per image. These findings demonstrated the potential of YOLOv7 as a valuable tool for aiding dermatologists in early skin cancer diagnosis and potentially reducing unnecessary biopsies."

Furthermore, preoperative sonography and color Doppler can aid in orienting the clinical diagnosis, being able in numerous situations to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions, which require a different therapeutic approach. This preoperative knowledge is of paramount importance for planning an individualized treatment regimen. Using sonography at the time of diagnosis, important surgical complications, such as neurovascular damage, can be avoided by performing a preoperative neurovascular mapping. Furthermore, sonography can help reduce the number of surgical steps by identifying the lesions' extent prior to surgery, but it can also spare unnecessary surgical interventions in cases of locally advanced lesions, which infiltrate the bone or already present with locoregional metastases, which usually require modern radiooncological therapies in accordance to European guidelines. With this review, we intend to summarize the current indications of sonography in the field of skin cancer surgery, which can help us improve the therapeutic attitude toward our patients and enhance patient counseling. In the era of modern systemic radiooncological therapies, sonography can help better select patients who qualify for surgical procedures or require systemic treatments due to tumoral extension."
+6083,skin cancer,38610095,Mapping cutaneous field carcinogenesis of nonmelanoma skin cancer using mesoscopic imaging of pro-inflammation cues.,"Nonmelanoma skin cancers remain the most widely diagnosed types of cancers globally. Thus, for optimal patient management, it has become imperative that we focus our efforts on the detection and monitoring of cutaneous field carcinogenesis. The concept of field cancerization (or field carcinogenesis), introduced by Slaughter in 1953 in the context of oral cancer, suggests that invasive cancer may emerge from a molecularly and genetically altered field affecting a substantial area of underlying tissue including the skin. A carcinogenic field alteration, present in precancerous tissue over a relatively large area, is not easily detected by routine visualization. Conventional dermoscopy and microscopy imaging are often limited in assessing the entire carcinogenic landscape. Recent efforts have suggested the use of noninvasive mesoscopic (between microscopic and macroscopic) optical imaging methods that can detect chronic inflammatory features to identify pre-cancerous and cancerous angiogenic changes in tissue microenvironments. This concise review covers major types of mesoscopic optical imaging modalities capable of assessing pro-inflammatory cues by quantifying blood haemoglobin parameters and hemodynamics. Importantly, these imaging modalities demonstrate the ability to detect angiogenesis and inflammation associated with actinically damaged skin. Representative experimental preclinical and human clinical studies using these imaging methods provide biological and clinical relevance to cutaneous field carcinogenesis in altered tissue microenvironments in the apparently normal epidermis and dermis. Overall, mesoscopic optical imaging modalities assessing chronic inflammatory hyperemia can enhance the understanding of cutaneous field carcinogenesis, offer a window of intervention and monitoring for actinic keratoses and nonmelanoma skin cancers and maximise currently available treatment options."

Individuals with HOIP and HOIL-1 deficiencies present with severe immunodeficiency, autoinflammation and glycogen storage disease. In mice, the loss of Sharpin leads to severe dermatitis due to excessive keratinocyte cell death. Here, we report two individuals with SHARPIN deficiency who manifest autoinflammatory symptoms but unexpectedly no dermatological problems. Fibroblasts and B cells from these individuals showed attenuated canonical NF-κB responses and a propensity for cell death mediated by TNF superfamily members. Both SHARPIN-deficient and HOIP-deficient individuals showed a substantial reduction of secondary lymphoid germinal center B cell development. Treatment of one SHARPIN-deficient individual with anti-TNF therapies led to complete clinical and transcriptomic resolution of autoinflammation. These findings underscore the critical function of the LUBAC as a gatekeeper for cell death-mediated immune dysregulation in humans."

The contribution to the origin of these 2 concepts is entirely due to 1) the functions and efficacy of FDA in terms of control and identification of these carcinogens, and 2) the establishment of clinicopathological correlations by the dermatologists, occurring during drug intake. According to recent FDA data, the concentration of NDMA in just one metformin tablet could be up to more than 5-fold increased. The intake of 3 to 6 tablets per day should result in a carcinogen intake that is 15 to 30 times elevated within the day and within the monomedication alone. It is these circumstances that paraphrase/ ˝betonate˝ concepts such as Onco-Pharmacogenesis and Drug-mediated Nitrosogenesis of skin cancer. Although not officially declared, these mutagens are present and have been in forced tolerance mode for the last 30-40 years. And after their intake, multiple cancers have been found to develop. The concomitant use of other nitrosamine-contaminated drugs such as losartan/hydrochlorothiazide, metoprolol and nefidipine should certainly not be surprising when it could also be associated with the development of exactly 16 keratinocytic tumours as in the case presented by us. Recent evidence in medical literature has linked the nitrosamine N-nitrosomorpholine (NMOR) with the direct development of its subsequent mutagenic action in rodents following irradiation with UVA. This fact leaves open the question of the potentially available photocarcinogenic action of the other nitrosamines in humans found in medicinal preparations. This is what necessitates a clarification of the concept of Photo-Nitroso-Carcinogenesis/ Oncogenesis in humans and its relationship to skin cancer. The overlap of the mutational patterns of some of the nitrosamine-induced mutations in target genes such as p53 and RAS oncogenes, with those of UV light-induced mutations - or practically the same ones mentioned above, suggest a possible significant role of the Drug-Induced Photo-Nitroso-Carcinogenesis of keratinocyte cancer in the context of Onco-Pharmacogenesis. Future analyses should focus on elucidating the photocarcinogenic effect of nitrosamines in drug preparations and differentiating Skin cancer Nitrosogenesis from ˝pure˝ Photo-Carcinogenesis and Nitroso-Photo-Carcinogenesis. The localization of the tumors in the area of the UV-exposed sites within the potential/actual contamination of the 4 preparations (simultaneously) in the described patient are indicative of a possible pathogenetic influence in the context of the already mentioned Nitroso-(Photo)carcinogenesis. Polycontamination of polymedication remains a so far unresolvable problem."

The nitroso-contamination of more than 300 drugs worldwide and the permanent (relatively short-term) intake of mutagen-contaminated drugs could create serious prerequisites for the development of skin cancer. Retrospective but also prospective analyses following potentially contaminated polymedication with a heterogeneous type of nitrosamines in real patients are indicative of a causal connection rather than a sporadic association between 1) intake of a possibly nitrosamine-contaminated drug and 2) generation of keratinocytic skin cancer. The pathogenesis of high-risk periocular localized basal cell carcinomas was until recently shrouded in mystery as it was mainly and until now associated with 1) intake of phototoxic drugs and 2) intense exposure to UV radiation (without intake of drugs), 3) congenital or acquired immunodeficiencies, and 4) Goltz Gorlin syndrome or 5) Xeroderma pigmentosum. Nitrosamines/ NDSRIs within the framework of polycotaminated drug intake appear to be one reasonable additional explanation for the association between carcinogen intake and subsequent skin cancer development and progression, and a relatively short-term one at that. Recently published scientific data provide information on a new ability of some of the nitrosamines - namely that some of them are photocarcinogenic or genotoxic after activation with UVA radiation. We present 4 patients who developed high-risk periocular localized basal cell carcinomas of the skin after/within the intake of potentially nitrosamine-contaminated drugs. The presented data are confirmatory with respect to previously published scientific observations on the carcinogenic effects of valsartan, candesartan, bisoprolol, metoprolol, perindopril, lisinopril and amlodipine. The contribution of newly validated data concerning potential/actual carcinogenic/genotoxic activity in the article is also due to the following newly announced nitroso preparations: torasemide, moxonidine and mirabegron. The expansion of the ˝bases of the pyramid˝ determining the stability of drug related (Photo) Nitrosogenesis/ Carcinogenesis (in terms of skin cancer generation) is growing daily. Exogenously/drug-induced Nitrosogenesis and the subsequently triggered carcinogenesis are a completely new explanatory concepts concerning the pathogenesis of skin tumors that remained unanalyzed and hidden for decades. Until now. The official lack of 1) availability, and of 2) precise concentrations regarding nitrosamines in medicinal preparations, are some of the most unexplained acts of irresponsibility to end-users and remain for the moment without a definitive answer from either regulators and manufacturers respectively. Polycontamination of polymedication in polymorbid patients remains highly problematic, at least as a cofactor in the development and progression of keratinocytic cancers, and this in the short term. Recently published data but also data from the past are suggestive that nitrosamines in tobacco are pivotal in the development of acquired mutations in p53 and RAS oncogenes in humans and rodents. The same genes are also affected by mutations in keratinocytic cancer patients. The overlapping mutation patterns of UV radiation-induced mutations in target genes such as p53 and RAS with those caused by some nitrosamines is indicative of a synergism available in terms of gene toxicity or possibly photocarcinogenicity of the latter. What leads the scientific community to believe that the nitrosamines in drugs, similar in composition and carcinogenic potency, act differently, is unclear. The link between drug intake, nitrosamine contamination, generation of some acquired mutations and subsequent cancer development becomes more than obvious and logically conditioned. The thesis of the controlled spread of cancer sounds more than logical today because: whoever controls and regulates the spread of carcinogens/mutagens/nitrosamines is also able to control the occurrence and spread of skin cancer. The Pharmaco-oncogenesis of skin cancer is determined by exogenously mediated Nitrosogenesis or the permissive availability for certain nitrosamines in drugs worldwide."

Their controlled distribution remains until 2025 as a forced and non-alternative and there is no indication of any possibility to introduce a full elimination regime against the already mentioned carcinogenic availability. There are three main worrying facts that determine the need for these elimination regimes: 1) the clinicopathological correlations concerning the intake of a heterogeneous class of drugs and the subsequent development of relatively homogeneous tumours/ such as melanoma, 2) the recently proven mutagenic/ carcinogenic action of certain nitrosamines, but this time directly on human DNA, and 3) the fact that some of the nitrosamines are potent photocarcinogens that exert their genotoxic effects only after irradiation with UVA/ also recently proven/. In addition to the rhetoric mentioned above, there is also an overlap in mutational patterns between the genes previously generally accepted to affect melanomas - p53 / RAS oncogenes , with those identified as target genes, but being affected ""mutationally"", by certain nitrosamines. The processes of photocarcinogenesis, nitrosogenesis and oncopharmacogenesis of skin cancer are inextricably linked and should not be considered and analysed unilaterally or in a semi-invasive manner. Cataloguing the type of nitrosamines and their precise concentration on drug leaflets and prescription/official websites with permanent access to clinicians and end-users remains the only safe and effective weapon in the fight against (un)controlled contamination. The pharmaceutical industry and regulators remain the creators, the 'parents' of onco-pharmacogenesis, nitrosogenesis, and therefore the processes involved in the generation and progression of skin cancer. The impossibility of establishing elimination regimes for certain mutagens and/or carcinogens already proven to be present in medicines remains a mystery. In practice, end consumers find themselves in a state of enforced tolerance of certain genotoxic substances that are not even declared as available. Clinicians in the face of dermatologists/ dermatological surgeons remain the analysers and identifiers of these globalization processes. Once again, we present a patient who took the antiarrhythmic (nitroso-) drug propafenone and developed a relatively short-term nodular melanoma with a subsequent fatal outcome. We comment on the role of drug-mediated nitrosogenesis and its relationship to photocarcinogenesis and onco-pharmacogenesis."

These factors, known as nitrosamines or NDSRIs, are characterized by high carcinogenic and mutagenic potency, and some of them have demonstrated these properties to human DNA as well. Unfortunately, these ingredients also turn up as contaminants in about 300 of the most widely distributed drugs worldwide. According to the most recent literature, some of these ingredients are also identified as potent photocarcinogens, as well as human carcinogens. The intake of these carcinogens in the context of polycontamination of polymedication, has been associated for years with the occurrence of melanomas. The need for cataloguing of nitrosamines , as well as their accurate labelling on drug packaging, would help to classify them even more accurately as carcinogens affecting human DNA. We present once again a patient , who developed nodular melanoma within the context of the intake of 3 potentially nitrosamine/ NDSRIs contaminated antihypertensive drugs (valsartan/ Hydrochlorothiazide/ bisoprolol).

Abnormal protein subcellular localizations are related to many diseases. Although many efforts have been made in predicting protein subcellular localization from various static information, including sequences, structures and interactions, such static information cannot predict protein mis-localization events in diseases. On the contrary, the IHC (immunohistochemistry) images, which have been widely applied in clinical diagnosis, contains information that can be used to find protein mis-localization events in disease states. In this study, we create the Vislocas method, which is capable of finding mis-localized proteins from IHC images as markers of cancer subtypes. By combining CNNs and vision transformer encoders, Vislocas can automatically extract image features at both global and local level. Vislocas can be trained with full-sized IHC images from scratch. It is the first attempt to create an end-to-end IHC image-based protein subcellular location predictor. Vislocas achieved comparable or better performances than state-of-the-art methods. We applied Vislocas to find significant protein mis-localization events in different subtypes of glioma, melanoma and skin cancer. The mis-localized proteins, which were found purely from IHC images by Vislocas, are in consistency with clinical or experimental results in literatures. All codes of Vislocas have been deposited in a Github repository (https://github.com/JingwenWen99/Vislocas).

In this work, the intricate relationship between these inflammatory proteins and disease pathogenesis is examined, focusing on what is known at the clinical and therapeutic levels regarding the most well-known inflammatory mediators. An in-depth look is given to their possible alterations caused by novel immunomodulatory drugs and how they may alter disease progression.

We confront the complexities involved in the histological classification of these tumours by proposing machine learning (ML) algorithms that objectively categorise the most relevant features in order of importance. The data set comprises 122 tumours (39 benign, 44 atypical and 39 malignant) from four different countries. BRAF and NRAS mutation status was evaluated in 51. Analysis of variance score was performed to rank 22 clinicopathological variables. The Gaussian naive Bayes algorithm achieved in distinguishing Spitz naevus from malignant spitzoid tumours with an accuracy of 0.95 and kappa score of 0.87, utilising the 12 most important variables. For benign versus non-benign Spitz tumours, the test reached a kappa score of 0.88 using the 13 highest-scored features. Furthermore, for the atypical Spitz tumours (AST) versus Spitz melanoma comparison, the logistic regression algorithm achieved a kappa value of 0.66 and an accuracy rate of 0.85. When the three categories were compared most AST were classified as melanoma, because of the similarities on histological features between the two groups. Our results show promise in supporting the histological classification of these tumours in clinical practice, and provide valuable insight into the use of ML to improve the accuracy and objectivity of this process while minimising interobserver variability. These proposed algorithms represent a potential solution to the lack of a clear threshold for the Spitz/spitzoid tumour classification, and its high accuracy supports its usefulness as a helpful tool to improve diagnostic decision-making."

A rare cause of breast pain is Mondor's disease (MD), which can present as an acute, painful, erythematous, cord-like induration on the breast or anterior chest wall. The disorder is caused by sclerosing superficial thrombophlebitis of the anterolateral thoracoabdominal wall veins. There does not appear to be a racial or ethnic propensity for this condition; however, it is important to understand that it may be more difficult to see in darker skin types (Fitzpatrick skin types IV-VI) and requires close attention on physical exam. The cause of MD is poorly understood but may be related to direct trauma, strenuous exercise, or hormone changes. We review a case of a 54-year-old woman who presented with an anterior chest wall palpable cord, better visualized with adequate lighting and skin traction, ultimately diagnosed as MD based on clinical findings and imaging studies. Mondor's disease often resolves spontaneously with supportive care, as in this patient's case; however, clinicians should be aware of this rare cause of breast pain and its association with hypercoagulable state, vasculitis, and breast cancer."

Diagnosis is made by a combination of clinical appearance, biopsy, imaging, and histopathological analysis. This review describes the current array of imaging modalities available to physicians to aid in the diagnosis of BCC. It is important to stay up-to-date with improvements in diagnostic screening, and knowledge of these options is instrumental in providing the best care to patients. Embase, Medline Industries, and PubMed were searched for articles within the past 10 years based on a search query that looked for imaging modalities used in the diagnosis and evaluation of a variety of dermatologic conditions. The search was further refined to focus on BCC and satisfy the inclusion/exclusion criteria determined by the authors. The research process was detailed in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses diagram. Dermoscopy is a non-invasive in vivo microscopic technique used to evaluate skin lesions. Features of dermoscopy cannot be visualized with the naked eye, and studies found that dermoscopy increased diagnostic accuracy. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) examines skin morphology, and recent studies found that 100% of patients with BCC had tumor-free margins when diagnosed with RCM. It allows for a one-stop-shop for diagnosis. Optical spectroscopy samples multiple sites without removing tissue. It helps detect subtle biophysical differences, allowing for earlier diagnosis. High-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) helps determine tumor size, structure, depth of invasion and spread. Studies found statistically significant positive correlations between depth of spread and HFUS readings. Optical coherence tomography takes cross-sectional images to analyze histopathology and morphology. It produces high-resolution images, confers slightly more accurate results than a biopsy, and expedites the treatment process through an earlier diagnosis without a biopsy.These results will advance the fields of dermatology and radiology as they describe unique uses for these imaging modalities. There are a variety of ways to use microscopy, and these techniques may be applied to many different lesions and help revolutionize the diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer and other lesions without the need for multiple, sometimes disfiguring surgical procedures. With the increase in diagnostic accuracy and decrease in diagnosis time, advanced imaging studies will become an integral part of dermatologic diagnosis and be included in future management and treatment plans, especially in the case of BCC."

Kidney transplant recipients (KTR) have a 2- to 4-fold higher risk of developing cancer compared to the general population and post-transplant malignancy is the third most common cause of death in KTR. Moreover, it is well known that certain cancer types are overrepresented after transplantation, especially non-melanoma skin cancer. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized the treatment of cancer, with remarkable survival benefit in a subgroup of patients. ICI are monoclonal antibodies that block the binding of specific co-inhibitory signaling molecules. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4), programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), and its ligand programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) are the main targets of ICI. Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR) have been excluded from clinical trials owing to concerns about tumor response, allo-immunity, and risk of transplant rejection. Indeed, graft rejection has been estimated as high as 48% and represents an emerging problem. The underlying mechanisms of organ rejection in the context of treatment with ICI are poorly understood. The search for restricted antitumoral responses without graft rejection is of paramount importance. This review summarizes the current knowledge of the use of ICI in KTR, the potential mechanisms involved in kidney graft rejection during ICI treatment, potential biomarkers of rejection, and how to deal with rejection in clinical practice."

Lack of translational preclinical models continues to be a major challenge in the field of immunotherapy; thus, more optimized translational models could strongly influence clinical trial development. To address this unmet need, we designed a preclinical model reflecting the heterogeneity in melanoma patients' clinical responses that can be used to evaluate novel immunotherapies and synergistic combinatorial treatment strategies. Using our all-autologous humanized melanoma mouse model, we examined the efficacy of a novel engineered interleukin 2 (IL-2)-based cytokine variant immunotherapy."

Significant TFS was reported for the nivolumab/ipilimumab arms of the CheckMate 067 and 214 trials for patients with advanced melanoma or renal cell carcinoma (aRCC), respectively, where immunotherapy was often halted for toxicity rather than a predefined treatment endpoint. We therefore sought to assess TFS in the HCRN GU16-260 trial, which was designed to reduce toxicity and cap immunotherapy duration."

Our case report describes a unique occurrence of DFSP of the breast in an adolescent girl, which was initially being managed as a keloid for 2 years under dermatology despite being refractory to treatment. Once the diagnosis of DFSP was confirmed through punch biopsy, our patient underwent surgical excision of the lesion under general anaesthesia. Our patient was at an increased risk of damage to the ductal system due to proximity of the lesion to the nipple-areolar complex, warranting the need for early recognition and treatment. As demonstrated by our case, DFSP of the breast can be difficult to diagnose since it resembles a range of benign and malignant pathologies of the breast."

+6122,skin cancer,38603731,Raman difference spectroscopy and U-Net convolutional neural network for molecular analysis of cutaneous neurofibroma.,"In Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), peripheral nerve sheaths tumors are common, with cutaneous neurofibromas resulting in significant aesthetic, painful and functional problems requiring surgical removal. To date, determination of adequate surgical resection margins-complete tumor removal while attempting to preserve viable tissue-remains largely subjective. Thus, residual tumor extension beyond surgical margins or recurrence of the disease may frequently be observed. Here, we introduce Shifted-Excitation Raman Spectroscopy in combination with deep neural networks for the future perspective of objective, real-time diagnosis, and guided surgical ablation. The obtained results are validated through established histological methods. In this study, we evaluated the discrimination between cutaneous neurofibroma (n = 9) and adjacent physiological tissues (n = 25) in 34 surgical pathological specimens ex vivo at a total of 82 distinct measurement loci. Based on a convolutional neural network (U-Net), the mean raw Raman spectra (n = 8,200) were processed and refined, and afterwards the spectral peaks were assigned to their respective molecular origin. Principal component and linear discriminant analysis was used to discriminate cutaneous neurofibromas from physiological tissues with a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 97.3%, and overall classification accuracy of 97.6%. The results enable the presented optical, non-invasive technique in combination with artificial intelligence as a promising candidate to ameliorate both, diagnosis and treatment of patients affected by cutaneous neurofibroma and NF1."

Preclinical models demonstrated clonal advantage of TET2-mutated plasmacytoid dendritic cells exposed to UV radiation. However, whether sun exposure, disease characteristics, and patient survival are clinically related is unclear. We classified organ involvement in 66 patients at diagnosis as skin only (n = 19), systemic plus skin (n = 33), or systemic only (n = 14). BM involvement was absent, microscopic (<5%), or overt (≥5%). UV exposure was based on clinical and demographic data. Patients with skin only BPDCN were more frequently aged ≥75 years (47% vs 19%; P = .032) and had lower rates of complex karyotype (0 vs 32%, P = .022) and mutated NRAS (0 vs 29%, P = .044). Conversely, those without skin involvement had lower UV exposure (23% vs 59%, P = .03) and fewer TET2 mutations (33% vs 72%, P = .051). The median overall survival (OS) was 23.5, 20.4, and 17.5 months for skin only, systemic plus skin, and systemic only, respectively. Patients with no BM involvement had better OS vs overt involvement (median OS, 27.3 vs 15.0 months; P = .033) and comparable with microscopic involvement (27.3 vs 23.5 months; P = .6). Overt BM involvement remained significant for OS when adjusted for baseline characteristics and treatment received. In summary, BPDCN clinical characteristics are associated with disease genetics and survival, which together may impact prognosis and indicate informative disease subtypes for future research."

Despite its success in improving the survival rate of cancer patients, chemotherapy causes significant toxicity to multiple organs, including the skeleton, but the underlying mechanisms have yet to be elucidated. Using tumor-free mouse models, which are commonly used to assess direct off-target effects of anti-neoplastic therapies, we found that doxorubicin caused massive bone loss in wild-type mice, a phenotype associated with increased number of osteoclasts, leukopenia, elevated serum levels of danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs; e.g. cell-free DNA and ATP) and cytokines (e.g. IL-1β and IL-18). Accordingly, doxorubicin activated the absent in melanoma (AIM2) and NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes in macrophages and neutrophils, causing inflammatory cell death pyroptosis and NETosis, which correlated with its leukopenic effects. Moreover, the effects of this chemotherapeutic agent on cytokine secretion, cell demise, and bone loss were attenuated to various extent in conditions of AIM2 and/or NLRP3 insufficiency. Thus, we found that inflammasomes are key players in bone loss caused by doxorubicin, a finding that may inspire the development of a tailored adjuvant therapy that preserves the quality of this tissue in patients treated with this class of drugs."

AI technology facilitates disease diagnosis based on Raman spectroscopy, including machine learning (PCA and SVM), manifold learning (UMAP), and deep learning (ResNet and AlexNet). However, it is not clear how to optimize the appropriate AI classification model for different types of Raman spectral data. Here, we selected five representative Raman spectral data sets, including endometrial carcinoma, hepatoma extracellular vesicles, bacteria, melanoma cell, diabetic skin, with different characteristics regarding sample size, spectral data size, Raman shift range, tissue sites, Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence, and significant Raman shifts (i.e., wavenumbers with significant differences between groups), to explore the performance of different AI models (e.g., PCA-SVM, SVM, UMAP-SVM, ResNet or AlexNet). For data set of large spectral data size, Resnet performed better than PCA-SVM and UMAP. By building data characteristic-assisted AI classification model, we optimized the network parameters (e.g., principal components, activation function, and loss function) of AI model based on data size and KL divergence etc. The accuracy improved from 85.1 to 94.6% for endometrial carcinoma grading, from 77.1 to 90.7% for hepatoma extracellular vesicles detection, from 89.3 to 99.7% for melanoma cell detection, from 88.1 to 97.9% for bacterial identification, from 53.7 to 85.5% for diabetic skin screening, and mean time expense of 5 s."

The present study was designed to investigate the antimelanoma effect and possible mechanisms of action of nebivolol, which is an approved and widely prescribed antihypertensive agent. In this study, we explored the effect of nebivolol on cell proliferation and cell activity in melanoma in vitro and the potential antimelanoma mechanism of nebivolol through a series of experiments, including the analysis of the effects with regard to cell apoptosis and metastasis. Furthermore, we evaluated the antimelanoma effect on xenograft tumor models and inspected the antimelanoma mechanism of nebivolol in vivo using immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence staining assays. As results in this work, in vitro , nebivolol possessed a strong activity for suppression proliferation and cell cycle arrest on melanoma. Moreover, nebivolol significantly induced cell apoptosis in melanoma through a mitochondrial-mediated endogenous apoptosis pathway. Additionally, nebivolol inhibited melanoma cell metastasis. More importantly, nebivolol exhibited significantly effective melanoma xenograft models in vivo , which related to the mechanism of apoptosis induction, proliferation inhibition, metastasis blocking and angiogenesis arrest. Overall, the data of the present study recommend that nebivolol holds great potential in application as a novel agent for the treatment of melanoma."

Preventive measures can be classified based on various criteria: temporal differentiation (primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention), context (behavioral and relational prevention), and recipient (general and individual prevention). Health promotion is used when appropriate measures are intended to strengthen and increase human health potential and resources. This includes, among other things, measures to develop health-promoting behavior (empowerment) and measures regarding the planning and implementation of health-promoting behavior (participation). One goal of these measures is generally to increase health literacy.

GBMs contain a subpopulation of GBM stem-like cells (GSCs) that play a central role in tumor initiation, progression, and treatment resistance. Oncolytic viruses, especially oncolytic herpes simplex virus (oHSV), replicate selectively in cancer cells and trigger antitumor immunity-a phenomenon termed the ""in situ vaccine"" effect. Although talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC), an oHSV armed with granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), is Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for melanoma, its use in patients with GBM has not been reported. Interleukin 2 (IL-2) is another established immunotherapy that stimulates T cell growth and orchestrates antitumor responses. IL-2 is FDA-approved for melanoma and renal cell carcinoma but has not been widely evaluated in GBM, and IL-2 treatment is limited by its short half-life, minimal tumor accumulation, and significant systemic toxicity.

ASAP meetings were organized by ""Scar Forum India"" from March 2023 to July 2023 in four Indian cities (Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Kolkata), each one for a duration of at least three hours. During these meetings and discussions, panelists reviewed and discussed the acne scar-related literature, their clinical experience in its management, available treatment options, along with recent advances. Consequently, a summary of the discussion and practical approach for the management of acne scars is developed. It was concluded that, though there is no specific guideline available to optimize acne scar management despite the multitude of treatment options, the best results can be achieved through the synergy of multiple treatment modalities and using the algorithmic approach."

Aluminium is ubiquitous in the environment, with various sources of exposure like cosmetics, the food industry, occupational industries, the medical field, transport and electronics. Aluminium finds its utility in various aspects of dermatology as an effective haemostatic agent, anti-perspirant and astringent. Aluminium has a pivotal role to play in wound healing, calciphylaxis, photodynamic therapy and vaccine immunotherapy with diagnostic importance in Finn chamber patch testing and confocal microscopy. The metal also finds significance in cosmetic procedures like microdermabrasion and as an Nd:YAG laser component. It is important to explore the allergic properties of aluminium, as in contact dermatitis and vaccine granulomas. The controversial role of aluminium in breast cancer and breast cysts also needs to be evaluated by further studies."

Excision with negative margins is essential for effective disease control. However, wide surgical margins and maximal tissue conservation are mutually exclusive. Mohs micrographic surgery conserves tissue but is time-consuming. Thus, we developed a novel specimen radiography system that can be used intraoperatively. Aims To introduce a specimen radiography system for evaluating intraoperative surgical margins in patients with dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. Methods Since September 2017, we have treated seven biopsy-proven cases of local DFSPs via local excision with surgical margins of 2-4 cm. During operations, the operative specimens were screened using the specimen radiography system. All surgical specimens were pathologically examined intraoperatively. Results Five patients were men and two were women, of median age 36 years. The mean radiographic screening time was 9.7 ± 2.3 min. Radiographically negative margins were confirmed intraoperatively. The minimal margin width ranged from 5.0 to 35.4 mm (mean width 16.9 ± 10.4 mm). The intraoperatively negative radiographic margins were consistent with those revealed by postoperative pathology. The minimal pathological margin width ranged from 4.0 to 34.5 mm (mean 16.6 ± 10.1 mm) and was not significantly different from the intraoperative data. Limitations The sample size was small and positive or negative predictive values were not calculated. Conclusions We introduce a novel method of intraoperative surgical margin assessment for DFSP patients. It may find broad clinical and research applications during oncoplastic surgery."

+6176,skin cancer,38594730,Strategies for improving the performance of prediction models for response to immune checkpoint blockade therapy in cancer.,"Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy holds promise for bringing long-lasting clinical gains for the treatment of cancer. However, studies show that only a fraction of patients respond to the treatment. In this regard, it is valuable to develop gene expression signatures based on RNA sequencing (RNAseq) data and machine learning methods to predict a patient's response to the ICB therapy, which contributes to more personalized treatment strategy and better management of cancer patients. However, due to the limited sample size of ICB trials with RNAseq data available and the vast number of candidate gene expression features, it is challenging to develop well-performed gene expression signatures. In this study, we used several published melanoma datasets and investigated approaches that can improve the construction of gene expression-based prediction models. We found that merging datasets from multiple studies and incorporating prior biological knowledge yielded prediction models with higher predictive accuracies. Our finding suggests that these two strategies are of high value to identify ICB response biomarkers in future studies."

In the past decade, targeted and immunotherapy have brought revolutionary survival benefits to patients with advanced and metastatic melanoma, but these treatment responses are also heterogeneous and/or do not achieve durable responses. Therefore, novel therapeutic strategies for improving outcomes remain an unmet clinical need. The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic potential and underlying molecular mechanisms of RC48, a novel HER2-target antibody drug conjugate, either alone or in combination with dabrafenib, a V600-mutant BRAF inhibitor, for the treatment of advanced BRAF-mutant cutaneous melanoma."

Even though the performance of these algorithms is promising in theory, there is limited evidence on the impact of AI assistance on human diagnostic decisions. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to study the effect of AI assistance on the accuracy of skin cancer diagnosis. We searched PubMed, Embase, IEE Xplore, Scopus and conference proceedings for articles from 1/1/2017 to 11/8/2022. We included studies comparing the performance of clinicians diagnosing at least one skin cancer with and without deep learning-based AI assistance. Summary estimates of sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic accuracy with versus without AI assistance were computed using a bivariate random effects model. We identified 2983 studies, of which ten were eligible for meta-analysis. For clinicians without AI assistance, pooled sensitivity was 74.8% (95% CI 68.6-80.1) and specificity was 81.5% (95% CI 73.9-87.3). For AI-assisted clinicians, the overall sensitivity was 81.1% (95% CI 74.4-86.5) and specificity was 86.1% (95% CI 79.2-90.9). AI benefitted medical professionals of all experience levels in subgroup analyses, with the largest improvement among non-dermatologists. No publication bias was detected, and sensitivity analysis revealed that the findings were robust. AI in the hands of clinicians has the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy in skin cancer diagnosis. Given that most studies were conducted in experimental settings, we encourage future studies to further investigate these potential benefits in real-life settings."
+6179,skin cancer,38594286,Molecular patterns of resistance to immune checkpoint blockade in melanoma.,"Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has improved outcome for patients with metastatic melanoma but not all benefit from treatment. Several immune- and tumor intrinsic features are associated with clinical response at baseline. However, we need to further understand the molecular changes occurring during development of ICB resistance. Here, we collect biopsies from a cohort of 44 patients with melanoma after progression on anti-CTLA4 or anti-PD1 monotherapy. Genetic alterations of antigen presentation and interferon gamma signaling pathways are observed in approximately 25% of ICB resistant cases. Anti-CTLA4 resistant lesions have a sustained immune response, including immune-regulatory features, as suggested by multiplex spatial and T cell receptor (TCR) clonality analyses. One anti-PD1 resistant lesion harbors a distinct immune cell niche, however, anti-PD1 resistant tumors are generally immune poor with non-expanded TCR clones. Such immune poor microenvironments are associated with melanoma cells having a de-differentiated phenotype lacking expression of MHC-I molecules. In addition, anti-PD1 resistant tumors have reduced fractions of PD1"

In this context, we developed and characterized two acquired Vem-resistant melanoma cell lines, A375V and SK-MEL-28V, and an intrinsically Vem-resistant cell line, RPMI-7951. Altered morphology and growth rate of the resistant cell lines displayed spindle-shaped cells with filopodia formation and enhanced proliferation rate as compared to parental cells. Further in vitro characterization in 2D models confirmed the emergence of a resistant phenotype in melanoma cells. To mimic the in vivo tumor microenvironment, spheroids were developed for both parental and resistant cell lines to recognize materialization of invadopodia structures demonstrating elevated invasiveness and proliferation of resistant cells-based spheroids, especially A375V. Importantly, we validated A375V cell line in vivo to prove its tumorigenicity and drug resistance in tumor xenograft model. Taken together, our established clinically relevant Vem-resistant tumor model could be beneficial to elucidate drug resistance mechanisms, screen and identify novel anticancer therapies to overcome BRAFi resistance in melanoma."

Cr (VI) has been linked with several adverse health effects, including respiratory diseases, lung cancer, and skin irritation. The primary sources of it in the environment are industrial activities.Most of the time, fly ash made of lignite can release Cr(VI) when it comes into contact with water in an aquatic environment. The objective of this study is the investigation of Cr (VI) concentration in leachates of fly ash and marl mixtures and the determination of its solubility under different pH conditions. Samples of fly ash were collected from the Power Plant of Agios Dimitrios. Additionally, samples of marl were collected from the mine of South Field, and both samples were mixed and prepared in in different proportions (% w.t.). The leaching experiments were carried out according to the EN-12457/1-4 (2003) standard under different pH conditions and chemical analysis of the leachates were performed by spectrophotometry with diphenylcarbazide (DPC). The environmental footprint of Cr (VI) in the study area was significant, especially in mixtures containing higher concentrations of fly ash. A critical pH range between 6 to 12 is observed. At acidic pH values, a high release of Cr (VI) was observed, while at the mentioned critical values (pH 10-12), a gradual decrease in its leachability was noticed. The high concentrations of Cr (VI) in the industrial area studied require immediate actions in terms of managing and limiting the potential hazardous impacts on the environment and by extension on the public health by developing appropriate prevention strategies."

Preclinical evidence suggests a methionine restricted diet (MRD) sensitizes cancer to radiation therapy (RT), without significant adverse effects. However, this has never been evaluated in humans. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of concurrent MRD with standard-of-care definitive RT in adults with any non-skin cancer malignancy. The MRD extended from 2 wk before RT initiation, through 2 wk beyond RT completion. The primary endpoint of safety was assessed as rate of grade 3 or higher acute and late toxicities. Feasibility was assessed with quantitative plasma amino acid panel every 2 wk during the MRD (target plasma methionine 13 μM). Nine patients were accrued over a two-year period, with five able to complete the treatment course. The trial was closed due to slow accrual and subjects' difficulty maintaining the diet. No grade 3 or higher adverse events were observed. Subjects' average methionine level was 18.8 μM during treatment, with average nadir 16.8 μM. These findings suggest the safety of concurrent MRD with RT, with toxicities comparable to those expected with RT alone. However, the diet was challenging, and unacceptable to most patients."

Their use in regenerative medicine has gained tremendous momentum recently due to their ability to be utilized as therapeutic options for a wide array of diseases/conditions. Over 5000 publications are currently being published yearly on this topic, and this number is only expected to dramatically increase as novel therapeutic strategies continue to be developed. Today exosomes have been applied in numerous contexts including neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer's disease, central nervous system, depression, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, post-traumatic stress disorders, traumatic brain injury, peripheral nerve injury), damaged organs (heart, kidney, liver, stroke, myocardial infarctions, myocardial infarctions, ovaries), degenerative processes (atherosclerosis, diabetes, hematology disorders, musculoskeletal degeneration, osteoradionecrosis, respiratory disease), infectious diseases (COVID-19, hepatitis), regenerative procedures (antiaging, bone regeneration, cartilage/joint regeneration, osteoarthritis, cutaneous wounds, dental regeneration, dermatology/skin regeneration, erectile dysfunction, hair regrowth, intervertebral disc repair, spinal cord injury, vascular regeneration), and cancer therapy (breast, colorectal, gastric cancer and osteosarcomas), immune function (allergy, autoimmune disorders, immune regulation, inflammatory diseases, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis).

However, it remains largely unknown whether distinct or shared repertoires of Treg TCRs are mobilized in response to different challenges in the same tissue or the same challenge in different tissues. Here we use a fixed TCRβ chain FoxP3-GFP mouse model to analyze conventional (eCD4) and regulatory (eTreg) effector TCRα repertoires in response to six distinct antigenic challenges to the lung and skin. This model shows highly 'digital' repertoire behavior with easy-to-track challenge-specific TCRα CDR3 clusters. For both eCD4 and eTreg subsets, we observe challenge-specific clonal expansions yielding homologous TCRα clusters within and across animals and exposure sites, which are also reflected in the draining lymph nodes but not systemically. Some CDR3 clusters are shared across cancer challenges, suggesting a response to common tumor-associated antigens. For most challenges, eCD4 and eTreg clonal response does not overlap. Such overlap is exclusively observed at the sites of certain tumor challenges, and not systematically, suggesting transient and local tumor-induced eCD4=>eTreg plasticity. This transition includes a dominant tumor-responding eCD4 CDR3 motif, as well as characteristic iNKT TCRα CDR3. In addition, we examine the homeostatic tissue residency of clonal eTreg populations by excluding the site of challenge from our analysis. We demonstrate that distinct CDR3 motifs are characteristic of eTreg cells residing in particular lymphatic tissues, regardless of the challenge. This observation reveals the tissue-resident, antigen-specific clonal Treg populations."

Delay wound healing is often correlated with the occurrence of and progression of SKCM. In this comprehensive study, we investigated the intricate roles of two important wound healing genes in SKCM, including Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) and Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9). Through a multi-faceted approach, we collected clinical samples, conducted molecular experiments, including RT-qPCR, bisulphite sequencing, cell culture, cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation, and wound healing assays. Beside this, we also used various other databases/tools/approaches for additional analysis including, UALCAN, GEPIA, HPA, MEXPRESS, cBioPortal, KM plotter, DrugBank, and molecular docking. Our results revealed a significant up-regulation of MMP2 and MMP9 in SKCM tissues compared to normal counterparts. Moreover, promoter methylation analysis suggested an epigenetic regulatory mechanism. Validations using TCGA datasets and immunohistochemistry emphasized the clinical relevance of MMP2 and MMP9 dysregulation. Functional assays demonstrated their synergistic impact on proliferation and migration in SKCM cells. Furthermore, we identified potential therapeutic candidates, Estradiol and Calcitriol, through drug prediction and molecular docking analyses. These compounds exhibited binding affinities, suggesting their potential as MMP2/MMP9 inhibitors. Overall, our study elucidates the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic implications of MMP2 and MMP9 in SKCM, shedding light on their complex interplay in SKCM occurrence and progression."

In the elderly population, surgery may carry more risk and significant morbidity in comparison to less invasive forms of treatment. This case report describes the successful use of intralesional 5-fluorouracil (IL5-FU) to treat cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). A 98-year-old white woman presented in early May 2017 with a 3.5-cm rapidly growing crusted nodule on her left proximal-lateral arm. She had a past medical history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure. The patient also had a frail body habitus and weighed 80 pounds. Physical examination revealed a large, ulcerated, crateriform mass on the left proximal-lateral arm. A shave biopsy was performed, which revealed a well-differentiated SCC, composed of nodular masses of neoplastic squamous cells with atypical nuclei, keratin pearl formation, and scattered mitotic figures with surrounding fibrosis and inflammation. The patient was wheelchair-bound and oxygen-dependent and, thus, not considered a good surgical or radiation candidate. Treatment was decided with 5-fluorouracil. At a four-week follow-up appointment, there was no visible or palpable evidence of the tumor. There was no sign of recurrence at three months, indicating treatment success. The patient later died due to cardiac arrest in September 2017. The elderly population with cSCC can benefit from intervention and treatment with IL5-FU when surgery is not an option due to patient comorbidities.

This study explores ATP citrate lyase's potential as a tumour biomarker and its role in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. ATP citrate lyase expression patterns were analysed using TCGA and TIMER databases, and patient skin specimens were collected for immunohistochemistry to determine ATP citrate lyase levels. Cell proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, and c-Myc expression were assessed in A431 and SCL-1 cells. Stable cell lines with reduced ATP citrate lyase expression were obtained and subcutaneously implanted into nude mice to evaluate in vivo tumour growth. Ki67, c-Myc expression and TUNEL staining were analysed in subcutaneous tumours. ATP citrate lyase exhibited upregulation in various tumours, and showed significant associations with prognosis and immune infiltrate. Moreover, ATP citrate lyase was highly expressed in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. After ATP citrate lyase silencing, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma cell growth decelerated, the cell cycle halted, cell apoptosis increased, and c-Myc expression decreased. Animal experiments revealed that, following ATP citrate lyase knockdown, tumour tissue growth slowed down, and there was a reduction in Ki-67 and c-Myc expression, accompanied by enhanced TUNEL staining. In conclusion, ATP citrate lyase may serve as a tumour biomarker. It is highly expressed in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and may serve as a therapeutic target."

It is incumbent upon the pathology community to perform studies assessing the benefits and limitations of these tools in specific diagnostic scenarios. One of the most challenging diagnostic scenarios faced by skin pathologists involves accurate diagnosis of desmoplastic melanocytic neoplasms (DMNs). In this study, 20 expert melanoma pathologists rendered a diagnosis on 47 DMNs based on hematoxylin and eosin sections with demographic information. After submitting their diagnosis, the experts were given the same cases, but this time with comprehensive genomic sequencing results, and asked to render a diagnosis again. Identification of desmoplastic melanoma (DM) improved by 7%, and this difference was statistically significant ( P <0.05). In addition, among the 15 melanoma cases, in the pregenomic assessment, only 12 were favored to be DM by the experts, while after genomics, this improved to 14 of the cases being favored to be DM. In fact, some cases resulting in metastatic disease had a substantial increase in the number of experts recognizing them as DM after genomics. The impact of the genomic findings was less dramatic among benign and intermediate-grade desmoplastic tumors (BIDTs). Interobserver agreement also improved, with the Fleiss multirater Kappa being 0.36 before genomics to 0.4 after genomics. NGS has the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy in the assessment of desmoplastic melanocytic tumors. The degree of improvement will be most substantial among pathologists with some background and experience in bioinformatics and melanoma genetics."

Its incidence and mortality rates vary substantially across geographical regions and over time, with large disparities by race, geographic regions (i.e., Appalachia), among others. The widely used Cox proportional hazards model is usually not applicable in such scenarios owing to the violation of the proportional hazards assumption. In this paper, we fit Bayesian accelerated failure time models for the analysis of prostate cancer survival and take dependent spatial structures and temporal information into account by incorporating random effects with multivariate conditional autoregressive priors. In particular, we relax the proportional hazards assumption, consider flexible frailty structures in space and time, and also explore strategies for handling the temporal variable. The parameter estimation and inference are based on a Monte Carlo Markov chain technique under a Bayesian framework. The deviance information criterion is used to check goodness of fit and to select the best candidate model. Extensive simulations are performed to examine and compare the performances of models in different contexts. Finally, we illustrate our approach by using the 2004-2014 Pennsylvania Prostate Cancer Registry data to explore spatial-temporal heterogeneity in overall survival and identify significant risk factors."

Quantifying these dimers can indicate the extent of DNA damage resulting from UVR exposure. Here, a new liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method was used to quantify thymidine dimers in the urine after a temporary increase in real-life UVR exposure. Healthy Danish volunteers (n = 27) experienced increased UVR exposure during a winter vacation. Individual exposure, assessed via personally worn electronic UVR dosimeters, revealed a mean exposure level of 32.9 standard erythema doses (SEDs) during the last week of vacation. Morning urine thymidine dimer concentrations were markedly elevated both 1 and 2 days post-vacation, and individual thymidine dimer levels correlated with UVR exposure during the last week of the vacation.

However, the mechanisms underlying cSCC remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified TGM3 as a novel cSCC tumor suppressor that acts via the PI3K-AKT axis. RT-qPCR, IHC and western blotting were employed to assess TGM3 levels. TGM3-overexpression/knockdown cSCC cell lines were utilized to detect TGM3's impact on epithelial differentiation as well as tumor cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro. Additionally, subcutaneous xenograft tumor models were employed to examine the effect of TGM3 knockdown on tumor growth in vivo. Finally, molecular and biochemical approaches were employed to gain insight into the tumor-suppressing mechanisms of TGM3. TGM3 expression was increased in well-differentiated cSCC tumors, whereas it was decreased in poor-differentiated cSCC tumors. Loss of TGM3 is associated with poor differentiation and a high recurrence rate in patients with cSCC. TGM3 exhibited tumor-suppressing activity by regulating cell proliferation, migration, and invasion both in vitro and in vivo. As a novel cSCC tumor differentiation marker, TGM3 expression was positively correlated with cell differentiation. In addition, our results demonstrated an interaction between TGM3 and KRT14 that aids in the degradation of KRT14. TGM3 deficiency disrupts keratinocytes differentiation, and ultimately leads to tumorigenesis. Furthermore, RNA-sequence analysis revealed that loss of TGM3 enhanced EMT via the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. Deguelin, a PI3K-AKT inhibitor, blocked cSCC tumor growth induced by TGM3 knockdown in vivo. Taken together, TGM3 inhibits cSCC tumor growth via PI3K-AKT signaling, which could also serve as a tumor differentiation marker and a potential therapeutic target for cSCC. Proposed model depicted the mechanism by which TGM3 suppress cSCC development. TGM3 reduces the phosphorylation level of AKT and degrades KRT14. In the epithelial cell layer, TGM3 exhibits a characteristic pattern of increasing expression from bottom to top, while KRT14 and pAKT are the opposite. Loss of TGM3 leads to reduced degradation of KRT14 and activation of pAKT, disrupting keratinocyte differentiation, and eventually resulting in the occurrence of low-differentiated cSCC."

To predict ICT response, we developed a multi-modal feature fusion model based on deep learning (MFMDL). This model utilizes graph neural networks to map gene-gene relationships in gene networks to low dimensional vector spaces, and then fuses biological pathway features and immune cell infiltration features to make robust predictions of ICT. We used five datasets to validate the predictive performance of the MFMDL. These five datasets span multiple types of cancer, including melanoma, lung cancer, and gastric cancer. We found that the prediction performance of multi-modal feature fusion model based on deep learning is superior to other traditional ICT biomarkers, such as ICT targets or tumor microenvironment-associated markers. In addition, we also conducted ablation experiments to demonstrate the necessity of fusing different modal features, which can improve the prediction accuracy of the model."
+6216,skin cancer,38589005,Osteocytes support bone metastasis of melanoma cells by CXCL5.,"Bone metastasis is a common complication of certain cancers such as melanoma. The spreading of cancer cells into the bone is supported by changes in the bone marrow environment. The specific role of osteocytes in this process is yet to be defined. By RNA-seq and chemokines screening we show that osteocytes release the chemokine CXCL5 when they are exposed to melanoma cells. Osteocytes-mediated CXCL5 secretion enhanced the migratory and invasive behaviour of melanoma cells. When the expression of the CXCL5 receptor, CXCR2, was down-regulated in melanoma cells in vitro, we observed a significant decrease in melanoma cell migration in response to osteocytes. Furthermore, melanoma cells with down-regulated CXCR2 expression showed less bone metastasis and less bone loss in the bone metastasis model in vivo. Furthermore, when simultaneously down-regulating CXCL5 in osteocytes and CXCR2 in melanoma cells, melanoma progression was abrogated in vivo. In summary, these data suggest a significant role of osteocytes in bone metastasis of melanoma, which is mediated through the CXCL5-CXCR2 pathway."

Salidroside (SAL) regulates ROS in normal cells and inhibits melanoma cell proliferation. This study used human malignant melanoma cells treated with SAL either alone or in combination with ROS scavenger (NAC) or ferroptosis inducer (Erastin). Through cell viability, wound healing assays, and a Seahorse analyze found that SAL inhibited cell proliferation, migration, extracellular acidification rate, and oxygen consumption rate. Metabolic flux analysis, complexes I, II, III, and IV activity of the mitochondrial respiratory chain assays, mitochondrial membrane potential assay, mitochondrial ROS, and transmission electron microscope revealed that SAL induced mitochondrial dysfunction and ultrastructural damage. Assessment of malondialdehyde, lipid ROS, iron content measurement, and Western blot analysis showed that SAL activated lipid peroxidation and promoted ferroptosis in A-375 cells. These effects were abolished after NAC treatment. Additionally, SAL and Erastin both inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell death; SAL increased the Erastin sensitivity of cells while NAC antagonized it. In xenograft mice, SAL inhibited melanoma growth and promoted ROS-dependent ferroptosis. SAL induced mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis to block melanoma progression through ROS production, which offers a scientific foundation for conducting SAL pharmacological research in the management of melanoma."

We performed a multicenter, randomized placebo-controlled, biomarker-stratified phase I trial in patients with ICB-naïve metastatic melanoma using SER-401, an orally delivered Firmicutesenriched spore formulation. Fecal microbiota signatures were characterized at baseline; patients were stratified by high versus low Ruminococcaceae abundance prior to randomization to the SER-401 arm (oral vancomycin-preconditioning/SER-401 alone/nivolumab + SER-401), versus the placebo arm [placebo antibiotic/placebo microbiome modulation (PMM)/nivolumab + PMM (NCT03817125)]. Analysis of 14 accrued patients demonstrated that treatment with SER-401 + nivolumab was safe, with an overall response rate of 25% in the SER-401 arm and 67% in the placebo arm (though the study was underpowered related to poor accrual during the COVID-19 pandemic). Translational analyses demonstrated that vancomycin preconditioning was associated with the disruption of the gut microbiota and impaired immunity, with incomplete recovery at ICB administration (particularly in patients with high baseline Ruminococcaceae). These results have important implications for future microbiome modulation trials. Significance: This first-of-its-kind, placebo-controlled, randomized biomarker-driven microbiome modulation trial demonstrated that vancomycin + SER-401 and anti-PD-1 are safe in melanoma patients. Although limited by poor accrual during the pandemic, important insights were gained via translational analyses, suggesting that antibiotic preconditioning and interventional drug dosing regimens should be carefully considered when designing such trials."

Patients with anti-MDA5 antibody-associated ILD frequently develop rapidly progression and present high mortality rate in the acute phase. Here, we established a murine model of ILD mediated by autoimmunity against MDA5. Mice immunized with recombinant murine MDA5 whole protein, accompanied with complete Freund's adjuvant once a week for four times, developed MDA5-reactive T cells and anti-MDA5 antibodies. After acute lung injury induced by intranasal administration of polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid [poly (I:C)] mimicking viral infection, the MDA5-immunized mice developed fibrotic ILD representing prolonged respiratory inflammation accompanied by fibrotic changes 2 wk after poly (I:C)-administration, while the control mice had quickly and completely recovered from the respiratory inflammation. Treatment with anti-CD4 depleting antibody, but not anti-CD8 depleting antibody, suppressed the severity of MDA5-induced fibrotic ILD. Upregulation of interleukin (IL)-6 mRNA, which was temporarily observed in poly (I:C)-treated mice, was prolonged in MDA5-immunized mice. Treatment with anti-IL-6 receptor antibody ameliorated the MDA5-induced fibrotic ILD. These results suggested that autoimmunity against MDA5 exacerbates toll-like receptor 3-mediated acute lung injury, and prolongs inflammation resulting in the development of fibrotic ILD. IL-6 may play a key role initiating ILD in this model."

One exciting new direction in this field of innovation is the combination of skin-based technologies and augmented reality (AR). These dermatological devices allow for the continuous and non-invasive measurement of vital signs and biomarkers, enabling the real-time diagnosis of anomalies, which have applications in telemedicine, oncology, dermatology, and early diagnostics. Despite its many potential benefits, there is a substantial information vacuum regarding using flexible photonics in conjunction with augmented reality for medical purposes. This review explores the current state of dermal augmented reality and flexible optics in skin-conforming sensing platforms by examining the obstacles faced thus far, including technical hurdles, demanding clinical validation standards, and problems with user acceptance. Our main areas of interest are skills, chiroptical properties, and health platform applications, such as optogenetic pixels, spectroscopic imagers, and optical biosensors.

This is mainly because the scalp is less mobile and tight, requiring a much larger dissection for the size of the original defect. We hypothesized that the omega variant perforator-based keystone island flap at the subgaleal plane provides a versatile and easily reproducible reconstructive option for scalp reconstruction after wide skin cancer excision. We reviewed all patients who underwent reconstruction with the keystone flap or its modification to repair scalp defects following wide resection of skin cancer in the scalp abutting calvarium from May 2021 to July 2023. We designed the flap width 50% wider than original keystone flap design first introduced by Dr. Behan. We reconstructed medium- to large-sized scalp defects ranging from 2×2 to 5×5 cm 2 using an omega variant perforator-based keystone island flap. All patients were satisfied with the aesthetic outcomes without complications. Keystone flaps are a versatile option for reconstructing the scalp after cancer resection.

However, the underlying mechanism in its anti-melanoma effect still need further exploration. Here, we reported that the protein expression of KLF4 in melanoma cells were significantly downregulated in response to brusatol treatment. Overexpression of KLF4 suppressed brusatol-induced melanoma cell apoptosis; while knockdown of KLF4 enhanced antitumor effects of brusatol on melanoma cells not only in vitro but also in vivo. Further studies on the mechanism revealed that KLF4 bound to the promoter of NCK2 directly and facilitated NCK2 transcription, which suppressed the antitumor effect of brusatol on melanoma. Furthermore, our findings showed that miR-150-3p was dramatically upregulated under brusatol treatment which resulted in the downregulation of KLF4. Our results suggested that the miR-150-3p/KLF4/NCK2 axis might play an important role in the antitumour effects of brusatol in melanoma."
+6237,skin cancer,38583742,"Systemic Inflammation, the Peripheral Blood Transcriptome, and Primary Melanoma.","Peripheral blood transcriptomes from 383 patients with newly diagnosed melanoma were subjected to differential gene expression analysis. The hypotheses were that impaired systemic immunity is associated with poorer prognosis (thicker tumors and fewer tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes) and evidence of systemic inflammation (high-sensitivity CRP and fibrinogen levels). Higher fibrinogen levels were associated with thicker primary tumors. In single-gene analysis, high-sensitivity CRP levels were significantly associated with higher blood CD274 expression (coding for PD-L1), but each was independently prognostic, with high-sensitivity CRP associated with increased mortality and higher CD274 protective, independent of age. Pathway analysis identified downregulation of immune cell signaling pathways in the blood of people with thicker tumors and notable upregulation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 gene STAT1 in people with brisk tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. Transcriptomic data provided evidence for increased NF-kB signaling with higher inflammatory markers but with reduction in expression of HLA class II molecules and higher CD274, suggesting that aberrant systemic inflammation is a significant mediator of reduced immune function in melanoma. In summary, transcriptomic data revealed evidence of reduced immune function in patients with thicker tumors and fewer tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes at diagnosis. Inflammatory markers were associated with thicker primaries and independently with death from melanoma, suggesting that systemic inflammation contributes to that reduced immune function."

However, the low overall response rate and high incidence of drug resistance largely damage the clinical benefits of existing immune checkpoint therapies. Recent studies correlate the response to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade with PD-L1 expression levels in tumor cells. Hence, identifying molecular targets and pathways controlling PD-L1 protein expression and stability in tumor cells is a major priority. In this study, we performed a Stress and Proteostasis CRISPR interference screening to identify PD-L1 positive modulators. Here, we identified TRAF6 as a critical regulator of PD-L1 in melanoma cells. As a non-conventional E3 ubiquitin ligase, TRAF6 is inclined to catalyze the synthesis and linkage of lysine-63 (K63) ubiquitin which is related to the stabilization of substrate proteins. Our results showed that suppression of TRAF6 expression down-regulates PD-L1 expression on the membrane surface of melanoma cells. We then used in vitro and in vivo assays to investigate the biological function and mechanism of TRAF6 and its downstream YAP1/TFCP2 signaling in melanoma. TRAF6 stabilizes YAP1 by K63 poly-ubiquitination modification, subsequently promoting the formation of YAP1/TFCP2 transcriptional complex and PD-L1 transcription.

We examined the genomic diversity in melanoma progression in matched primary melanomas and lymph node and distant metastases from 17 patients. FISH analysis revealed cancer cell fractions with monotonic copy number alterations, including PHIP gain and PTEN loss, in the metastatic cascade. By contrast, the cancer cell fraction with copy number alterations for BPTF and MITF was reduced in lymph node metastases but increased in distant metastases. Separately, the cancer cell fraction with NCOA3 copy number alteration was comparable between primary tumors and lymph node metastases yet increased in distant metastases. These results suggest enrichment of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase and MITF pathways in the transition through the metastatic cascade. By contrast, next-generation sequencing analysis did not identify a consistent pattern of changes in variant allele frequency while revealing several intriguing findings, including decreased variant allele frequency in distant metastases and distinct drivers in lymph node versus distant metastases. These results provide evidence that distant melanoma metastasis does not always emanate from lymph node metastasis.

While biopsy of affected skin remains an essential method to confirm diagnosis and to predicate tumor prognosis, it has its limitations. Recently, photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) has demonstrated high sensitivity in detecting affected skin and mucosal tissues, providing valuable guidance for precision surgery to resect skin and mucosal tumors. In this review, we summarized the literatures concerning the applications of PDD in diagnostic process and treatment of skin and mucosal conditions such as actinic keratoses (AK), basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), Bowen's disease (BD) and extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD). The findings suggest that PDD holds substantial promise for expanding clinical applications and deserves further research exploration."

However, the potential of AI in automating immunofluorescence imaging for autoimmune bullous skin diseases (AIBDs) remains untapped. While direct immunofluorescence (DIF) supports diagnosis, its manual interpretation can hinder efficiency. The use of DL to classify DIF patterns automatically, including the intercellular (ICP) and linear pattern (LP), holds promise for improving the diagnosis of AIBDs."

+6252,skin cancer,38581201,Classifications of cutaneous lymphomas and lymphoproliferative disorders: An update from the EORTC cutaneous lymphoma histopathology group.,"The classification of primary cutaneous lymphomas and lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) is continuously evolving by integrating novel clinical, pathological and molecular data. Recently two new classifications for haematological malignancies including entities of cutaneous lymphomas were proposed: the 5th edition of the WHO classification of haematolymphoid tumours and the International Consensus Classification (ICC) of mature lymphoid neoplasms. This article provides an overview of the changes introduced in these two classifications compared to the previous WHO classification. The main changes shared by both classifications include the downgrading of CD8+ acral T-cell lymphoma to CD8+ acral T-cell LPD, and the recognition of entities that were previously categorized as provisional and have now been designated as definite types including primary cutaneous small or medium CD4+ T-cell LPD, primary cutaneous gamma/delta T-cell lymphoma, primary cutaneous CD8+ aggressive epidermotropic cytotoxic T-cell lymphoma, Epstein-Barr virus-positive mucocutaneous ulcer. Both classifications consider primary cutaneous marginal zone B-cell clonal neoplasm as an indolent disease but use a different terminology: primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma (WHO) and primary cutaneous marginal zone LPD (ICC). The 5th WHO classification further introduces and provides essential and desirable diagnostic criteria for each disease type and includes chapters on reactive B- or T-cell rich lymphoid proliferations formerly referred as cutaneous pseudolymphomas, as well as histiocyte and CD8 T-cell rich LPD in patients with inborn error of immunity. As already emphasized in previous lymphoma classifications, the importance of integrating clinical, histological, phenotypic and molecular features remains the crucial conceptual base for defining cutaneous (and extracutaneous) lymphomas."

+6260,skin cancer,38580105,E3 Ubiquitin Ligase NEDD4L Negatively Regulates Skin Tumorigenesis by Inhibiting IL-6/GP130 Signaling Pathway.,"IL-6 signaling plays a crucial role in the survival and metastasis of skin cancer. NEDD4L acts as a suppressor of IL-6 signaling by targeting GP130 degradation. However, the effects of the NEDD4L-regulated IL-6/GP130 signaling pathway on skin cancer remain unclear. In this study, protein expression levels of NEDD4L and GP130 were measured in tumor tissues from patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Skin tumors were induced in wild-type and Nedd4l-knockout mice, and activation of the IL-6/GP130/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 signaling pathway was detected. The results indicated a negative correlation between the protein expression levels of NEDD4L and GP130 in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma tissues from patients. Nedd4l deficiency significantly promoted 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene/12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced skin tumorigenesis and benign-to-malignant conversion by activating the IL-6/GP130/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 signaling pathway, which was abrogated by supplementation with the GP130 inhibitor SC144. Furthermore, our findings suggested that NEDD4L can interact with GP130 and promote its ubiquitination in skin tumors. In conclusion, our results indicate that NEDD4L could act as a tumor suppressor in skin cancer, and inhibition of GP130 could be a potential therapeutic method for treating this disease."

However, existing experimental methods for identifying new targets are generally labor-intensive and failure-prone. On the other hand, computational approaches, especially machine learning-based frameworks, have shown remarkable application potential in drug discovery. In this work, we propose Progeni, a novel machine learning-based framework for target identification. In addition to fully exploiting the known heterogeneous biological networks from various sources, Progeni integrates literature evidence about the relations between biological entities to construct a probabilistic knowledge graph. Graph neural networks are then employed in Progeni to learn the feature embeddings of biological entities to facilitate the identification of biologically relevant target candidates. A comprehensive evaluation of Progeni demonstrated its superior predictive power over the baseline methods on the target identification task. In addition, our extensive tests showed that Progeni exhibited high robustness to the negative effect of exposure bias, a common phenomenon in recommendation systems, and effectively identified new targets that can be strongly supported by the literature. Moreover, our wet lab experiments successfully validated the biological significance of the top target candidates predicted by Progeni for melanoma and colorectal cancer. All these results suggested that Progeni can identify biologically effective targets and thus provide a powerful and useful tool for advancing the drug discovery process."

This study evaluated the effect of GEP on time to diagnosis of metastasis, subsequent treatment and survival. A retrospective study was conducted of 110 uveal melanoma patients with GEP (DecisionDx-UM, Castle Biosciences, Friendswood, Texas, USA) and 110 American Joint Committee on Cancer-matched controls. Surveillance testing and treatment for metastasis were compared between the two groups and by GEP class. Rates of metastasis, overall survival and melanoma-related mortality were calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimates. Baseline characteristics and follow-up time were balanced in the two groups. Patients' GEP classification was 1A in 41%, 1B in 25.5% and 2 in 33.6%. Metastasis was diagnosed in 26.4% ( n  = 29) in the GEP group and 23.6% ( n  = 26) in the no GEP group ( P  = 0.75). Median time to metastasis was 30.5 and 22.3 months in the GEP and no GEP groups, respectively ( P  = 0.44). Median months to metastasis were 34.7, 75.8 and 26.1 in class 1A, 1B and 2 patients, respectively ( P  = 0.28). Disease-specific 5-year survival rates were 89.4% [95% confidence interval (CI): 81.0-94.2%] and 84.1% (95% CI: 74.9-90.1%) in the GEP and no GEP groups respectively ( P  = 0.49). Median time to death from metastasis was 10.1 months in the GEP group and 8.5 months in the no GEP group ( P  = 0.40). There were no significant differences in time to metastasis diagnosis and survival outcomes in patients with and without GEP. To realize the full benefit of GEP, more sensitive techniques for detection of metastasis and adjuvant therapies are required."

+6274,skin cancer,38577644,Anal pruritus: Don't look away.,"Anal pruritus is a common anorectal symptom that can significantly impair a patient's quality of life, including their mental health. It can be one of the most difficult proctological conditions to treat. Patients often delay seeking medical attention, since it is an embarrassing but non-life-threatening situation. Pruritus ani can be associated with idiopathic and secondary causes, such as anorectal diseases, cancer (anal or colorectal), dermatological and sexually transmitted diseases, fungal infections and systemic diseases. If patients are referred for a colonoscopy, this can sometimes provide the first opportunity to evaluate the perianal area. Classifications of anal pruritus are based on the abnormalities of the perianal skin, one of the most commonly used being the Washington classification. A proper digital anorectal examination is important, as well as an anoscopy to help to exclude anorectal diseases or suspicious masses. Endoscopists should be aware of the common etiologies, and classification of the perianal area abnormalities should be provided in the colonoscopy report. Information on treatment possibilities and follow-up can also be provided. The treatment normally consists of a triple approach: proper hygiene, elimination of irritants, and skin care and protection. Several topical therapies have been described as possible treatments, including steroids, capsaicin, tacrolimus and methylene blue intradermal injections."

The base plaque measured 30 × 10 mm, whilst the new papule measured approximately 3 × 3 mm. These were asymptomatic and there was no preceding trauma to the area. Examination revealed a pearlescent darkly pigmented papule, growing within a warty pink-yellow hairless plaque. Dermoscopy showed non-specific features with evidence of some disorganized vasculature. A punch excisional biopsy of the papular lesion was obtained, histopathology indicated a polypoid lesion with basaloid nests in a superficial and nodular distribution extending to the superficial dermis. The base plaque was then completely excised, showing dermal scarring related to the previous excision, along with the presence of large sebaceous glands, heterotopic apocrine glands, defective hair follicles, acanthosis and epithelial papillomatosis. This is a case of a basal cell carcinoma (BCC) arising within a sebaceous naevus on the scalp, in a skin of colour patient. Sebaceous naevi (SN), also known as naevus sebaceous of Jadassohn, are benign hamartomatous malformations comprised of predominantly sebaceous glands. SN appear most commonly on the scalp, and start off as smooth yellowish well-circumscribed plaques in infancy which then develops a verrucous appearance in adolescence due to hormonally-driven maturation of sebaceous and apocrine glands. It is well known that benign neoplasms of various lineages of differentiation including follicular, sebaceous, apocrine or eccrine, may arise within SN. Malignant neoplasms occurring within SN almost exclusively occur in adults, and arise in about 2.5% of lesions. BCCs are the most common among these, and occur in 0.8% of SN. Other malignant tumours such as squamous cell carcinoma, sebaceous carcinoma, microcystic adnexal carcinoma and porocarcinoma can also arise within SN, but these are rarer. Our case is notable as our patient had Fitzpatrick skin type 4-5, hence may have been perceived to have a lower risk of developing BCCs. We hope that this report will highlight that BCCs do arise even in skin of colour."

+6283,skin cancer,38576614,New hopes for the breast cancer treatment: perspectives on the oncolytic virus therapy.,"Oncolytic virus (OV) therapy has emerged as a promising frontier in cancer treatment, especially for solid tumours. While immunotherapies like immune checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T cells have demonstrated impressive results, their limitations in inducing complete tumour regression have spurred researchers to explore new approaches targeting tumours resistant to current immunotherapies. OVs, both natural and genetically engineered, selectively replicate within cancer cells, inducing their lysis while sparing normal tissues. Recent advancements in clinical research and genetic engineering have enabled the development of targeted viruses that modify the tumour microenvironment, triggering anti-tumour immune responses and exhibiting synergistic effects with other cancer therapies. Several OVs have been studied for breast cancer treatment, including adenovirus, protoparvovirus, vaccinia virus, reovirus, and herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1). These viruses have been modified or engineered to enhance their tumour-selective replication, reduce toxicity, and improve oncolytic properties.Newer generations of OVs, such as Oncoviron and Delta-24-RGD adenovirus, exhibit heightened replication selectivity and enhanced anticancer effects, particularly in breast cancer models. Clinical trials have explored the efficacy and safety of various OVs in treating different cancers, including melanoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, head and neck cancer, and gynecologic malignancies. Notably, Talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) and Oncorine have. been approved for advanced melanoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, respectively. However, adverse effects have been reported in some cases, including flu-like symptoms and rare instances of severe complications such as fistula formation. Although no OV has been approved specifically for breast cancer treatment, ongoing preclinical clinical trials focus on four groups of viruses. While mild adverse effects like low-grade fever and nausea have been observed, the effectiveness of OV monotherapy in breast cancer remains insufficient. Combination strategies integrating OVs with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy, show promise in improving therapeutic outcomes. Oncolytic virus therapy holds substantial potential in breast cancer treatment, demonstrating safety in trials. Multi-approach strategies combining OVs with conventional therapies exhibit more promising therapeutic effects than monotherapy, signalling a hopeful future for OV-based breast cancer treatments."

Birthmarks.,"Birthmarks in newborns can be classified as vascular, melanocytic or pigmented, or markers of underlying developmental abnormalities of the nervous system. A nevus simplex is a benign capillary malformation. Newborns with a nevus flammeus can be safely treated before one year of age with a pulsed dye laser to reduce the visibility of lesions. Infantile hemangiomas should be treated with systemic beta blockers if there is a risk of life-threatening complications, functional impairment, ulceration, underlying abnormalities, permanent scarring, or alteration of anatomic landmarks. Dermal melanocytosis is a benign finding that is easily recognized and does not warrant further evaluation. A solitary congenital melanocytic nevus that is less than 20 cm in diameter may be observed in primary care; children with larger or multiple nevi should be referred to pediatric dermatology due to the risk of melanoma. Newborns with skin markers of occult spinal dysraphism (other than a simple, solitary dimple) should have lumbar spine imaging using ultrasonography or magnetic resonance imaging."

We present a case with early dissemination to the lung. A 27-year-old woman, previously healthy, presented with scattered disseminated scaly patches, associated with vulvar and intergluteal firm swelling and groin-skin induration for 1 year. She also reported mild fatigue and breathlessness on moderate exertion. The patient underwent blood tests, skin biopsies, and computed tomography scan. The skin biopsy showed a mildly atypical T-cell lymphoid infiltrate involving the dermis/hypodermis, with focal epidermotropism, associated with a granulomatous infiltrate and elastophagocytosis. The computed tomography scan revealed bilateral ground-glass lung nodular opacities. Positron emission tomography showed an increased signal in the skin and subcutis around the buttocks, inguinal and mediastinal lymph nodes, and lungs. The lung biopsy confirmed a dense T-cell infiltrate with numerous multinucleated giant cells. Subsequently, esophageal involvement was also observed following biopsy. Molecular analyses demonstrated identical T-cell clones in the skin and lung. After 6 cycles of chemotherapy/localized external radiotherapy, the patient had a partial skin response and stable lung disease. A preferred diagnosis of GSS with systemic spread was made based on clinical/histologic/molecular findings, after considering granulomatous mycosis fungoides and peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified. This case highlights the frequent diagnostic difficulty in distinguishing GSS from an inflammatory granulomatous dermatitis. Pulmonary and esophageal involvements are rare in GSS, and the simultaneous presentation of characteristic cutaneous GSS with systemic disease poses an additional classification challenge."

+6308,skin cancer,38573937,Metabolic Modulation of Kynurenine Based on Kynureninase-Loaded Nanoparticle Depot Overcomes Tumor Immune Evasion in Cancer Immunotherapy.,"Evading recognition of immune cells is a well-known strategy of tumors used for their survival. One of the immune evasion mechanisms is the synthesis of kynurenine (KYN), a metabolite of tryptophan, which suppresses the effector T cells. Therefore, lowering the KYN concentration can be an efficient antitumor therapy by restoring the activity of immune cells. Recently, kynureninase (KYNase), which is an enzyme transforming KYN into anthranilate, was demonstrated to show the potential to decrease KYN concentration and inhibit tumor growth. However, due to the limited bioavailability and instability of proteins in vivo, it has been challenging to maintain the KYNase concentration sufficiently high in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we developed a nanoparticle system loaded with KYNase, which formed a Biodegradable and Implantable Nanoparticle Depot named 'BIND' following subcutaneous injection. The BIND sustainably supplied KYNase around the TME while located around the tumor, until it eventually degraded and disappeared. As a result, the BIND system enhanced the proliferation and cytokine production of effector T cells in the TME, followed by tumor growth inhibition and increased mean survival. Finally, we showed that the BIND carrying KYNase significantly synergized with PD-1 blockade in three mouse models of colon cancer, breast cancer, and melanoma."

Mastectomy options include skin- and nipple-sparing techniques. Implant-based reconstruction can be performed with saline or silicone implants. Various autologous pedicled or free tissue flap reconstruction methods based on different tissue donor sites are available. The aesthetic outcomes of implant- and flap-based reconstructions can be improved with oncoplastic surgery, including autologous fat graft placement and nipple-areolar complex reconstruction. The authors provide an update on recent advances in implant reconstruction techniques and contemporary expanded options for autologous tissue flap reconstruction as it relates to imaging modalities. As breast cancer screening is not routinely performed in this clinical setting, tumor recurrence after mastectomy and reconstruction is often detected by palpation at physical examination. Most local recurrences occur within the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Diagnostic breast imaging continues to have a critical role in confirmation of disease recurrence. Knowledge of the spectrum of benign and abnormal imaging appearances in the reconstructed breast is important for postoperative evaluation of patients, including recognition of early and late postsurgical complications and breast cancer recurrence. The authors provide an overview of multimodality imaging of the postmastectomy reconstructed breast, as well as an update on screening guidelines and recommendations for this unique patient population.

There were close to 20 million new cases of cancer in the year 2022 (including nonmelanoma skin cancers [NMSCs]) alongside 9.7 million deaths from cancer (including NMSC). The estimates suggest that approximately one in five men or women develop cancer in a lifetime, whereas around one in nine men and one in 12 women die from it. Lung cancer was the most frequently diagnosed cancer in 2022, responsible for almost 2.5 million new cases, or one in eight cancers worldwide (12.4% of all cancers globally), followed by cancers of the female breast (11.6%), colorectum (9.6%), prostate (7.3%), and stomach (4.9%). Lung cancer was also the leading cause of cancer death, with an estimated 1.8 million deaths (18.7%), followed by colorectal (9.3%), liver (7.8%), female breast (6.9%), and stomach (6.8%) cancers. Breast cancer and lung cancer were the most frequent cancers in women and men, respectively (both cases and deaths). Incidence rates (including NMSC) varied from four-fold to five-fold across world regions, from over 500 in Australia/New Zealand (507.9 per 100,000) to under 100 in Western Africa (97.1 per 100,000) among men, and from over 400 in Australia/New Zealand (410.5 per 100,000) to close to 100 in South-Central Asia (103.3 per 100,000) among women. The authors examine the geographic variability across 20 world regions for the 10 leading cancer types, discussing recent trends, the underlying determinants, and the prospects for global cancer prevention and control. With demographics-based predictions indicating that the number of new cases of cancer will reach 35 million by 2050, investments in prevention, including the targeting of key risk factors for cancer (including smoking, overweight and obesity, and infection), could avert millions of future cancer diagnoses and save many lives worldwide, bringing huge economic as well as societal dividends to countries over the forthcoming decades."

A shave biopsy was performed, and histopathological examination revealed anastomosing strands of basaloid cells in the dermis, leading to a diagnosis of fibroepithelioma of pinkus (FeP). FeP is a rare variant of basal cell carcinoma. It typically presents as a solitary, pink, pedunculated papule on the lower back, but the presentation can vary. This case contributes to the scarce literature on the occurrence of FeP in skin of color populations.

Despite extensive research uncovering numerous genetic and molecular contributors to cutaneous melanoma development, there remains a critical knowledge gap concerning the role of lipids, notably low-density lipoprotein (LDL), in this lethal skin cancer. This article endeavours to bridge this knowledge gap by delving into the intricate interplay between LDL metabolism and cutaneous melanoma, shedding light on how lipids influence tumour progression, immune responses and potential therapeutic avenues. Genes associated with LDL metabolism were extracted from the GSEA database. We acquired and analysed single-cell sequencing data (GSE215120) and bulk-RNA sequencing data, including the TCGA data set, GSE19234, GSE22153 and GSE65904. Our analysis unveiled the heterogeneity of LDL across various cell types at the single-cell sequencing level. Additionally, we constructed an LDL-related signature (LRS) using machine learning algorithms, incorporating differentially expressed genes and highly correlated genes. The LRS serves as a valuable tool for assessing the prognosis, immunity and mutation status of patients with cutaneous melanoma. Furthermore, we conducted experiments on A375 and WM-115 cells to validate the function of PPP2R1A, a pivotal gene within the LRS. Our comprehensive approach, combining advanced bioinformatics analyses with an extensive review of current literature, presents compelling evidence regarding the significance of LDL within the cutaneous melanoma microenvironment."

Recent findings revealed that L-kynurenine and quinolinic acid induce cytotoxicity and morphological changes in B16 F10 melanoma cells in vitro. This paper highlights the effects of L-kynurenine and quinolinic acid at previously determined half-maximal inhibitory concentrations on cell cycle progression, cell death and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase inhibition. Melanoma, B16 F10 and murine macrophages, RAW 264.7 cells were used in this study, as both cell lines express all the enzymes associated with the kynurenine pathway. Post exposure to the compounds at half-maximal inhibitory concentrations, transmission electron microscopy was used to assess intracellular morphological changes. Flow cytometry was used to analyse cell cycle progression and quantify apoptosis via the dual staining of Annexin V and propidium iodide and cell survival via extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase. L-kynurenine and quinolinic acid at half-maximal inhibitory concentrations induced intracellular morphological changes representative of cell death. Flow cytometry revealed alterations in cell cycle distribution, increased apoptosis and significantly inhibition of cell survival. L-kynurenine and quinolinic acid are exogenous kynurenine compounds which inhibited cell survival through extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase inhibition, induced cell cycle alterations and induced apoptosis in B16 F10 melanoma cells."
+6331,skin cancer,38570797,The novel molecular mechanism of pulmonary fibrosis: insight into lipid metabolism from reanalysis of single-cell RNA-seq databases.,"Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a severe pulmonary disease with limited available therapeutic choices. Recent evidence increasingly points to abnormal lipid metabolism as a critical factor in PF pathogenesis. Our latest research identifies the dysregulation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is a new risk factor for PF, contributing to alveolar epithelial and endothelial cell damage, and fibroblast activation. In this study, we first integrative summarize the published literature about lipid metabolite changes found in PF, including phospholipids, glycolipids, steroids, fatty acids, triglycerides, and lipoproteins. We then reanalyze two single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets of PF, and the corresponding lipid metabolomic genes responsible for these lipids' biosynthesis, catabolism, transport, and modification processes are uncovered. Intriguingly, we found that macrophage is the most active cell type in lipid metabolism, with almost all lipid metabolic genes being altered in macrophages of PF. In type 2 alveolar epithelial cells, lipid metabolic differentially expressed genes (DEGs) are primarily associated with the cytidine diphosphate diacylglycerol pathway, cholesterol metabolism, and triglyceride synthesis. Endothelial cells are partly responsible for sphingomyelin, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylethanolamines reprogramming as their metabolic genes are dysregulated in PF. Fibroblasts may contribute to abnormal cholesterol, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylethanolamine metabolism in PF. Therefore, the reprogrammed lipid profiles in PF may be attributed to the aberrant expression of lipid metabolic genes in different cell types. Taken together, these insights underscore the potential of targeting lipid metabolism in developing innovative therapeutic strategies, potentially leading to extended overall survival in individuals affected by PF."

The objective of this study was to employ the Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to evaluate the effects of genetically predicted childhood adiposity on the risk of developing skin cancer later in life. Two-sample MR analyses were conducted using summary data from genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analyses of childhood BMI, melanoma, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), and basal cell carcinoma (BCC). We used the inverse-variance-weighted (IVW) methods to obtain a pooled estimate across all genetic variants for childhood BMI. We performed multiple sensitivity analyses to evaluate the potential influence of various assumptions on our findings. We found no evidence that genetically predicted childhood BMI was associated with risks of developing melanoma, cSCC, or BCC in adulthood (OR, 95% CI: melanoma: 1.02 (0.93-1.13), cSCC 0.94 (0.79-1.11), BCC 0.97 (0.84-1.12)). Our findings do not support the conclusions from observational studies that childhood BMI is associated with increased risks of melanoma, cSCC, or BCC in adulthood. Intervening on childhood adiposity will not reduce the risk of common skin cancers later in life."
+6334,skin cancer,38570556,Orthotopic model for the analysis of melanoma circulating tumor cells.,"Metastatic melanoma, a highly lethal form of skin cancer, presents significant clinical challenges due to limited therapeutic options and high metastatic capacity. Recent studies have demonstrated that cancer dissemination can occur earlier, before the diagnosis of the primary tumor. The progress in understanding the kinetics of cancer dissemination is limited by the lack of animal models that accurately mimic disease progression. We have established a xenograft model of human melanoma that spontaneously metastasizes to lymph nodes and lungs. This model allows precise monitoring of melanoma progression and is suitable for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs). We have validated a flow cytometry-based protocol for CTCs enumeration and isolation. We could demonstrate that (i) CTCs were detectable in the bloodstream from the fourth week after tumor initiation, coinciding with the lymph node metastases appearance, (ii) excision of the primary tumor accelerated the formation of metastases in lymph nodes and lungs as early as one-week post-surgery, accompanied by the increased numbers of CTCs, and (iii) CTCs change their surface protein signature. In summary, we present a model of human melanoma that can be effectively utilized for future drug efficacy studies."

+6337,skin cancer,38570028,Chemo-Senolytic Therapeutic Potential against Angiosarcoma.,"Angiosarcoma is an aggressive soft-tissue sarcoma with a poor prognosis. Chemotherapy for this cancer typically employs paclitaxel, a taxane (genotoxic drug), although it has a limited effect owing to chemoresistance to prolonged treatment. In this study, we examine an alternative angiosarcoma treatment approach that combines chemotherapeutic and senolytic agents. We find that the chemotherapeutic drugs cisplatin and paclitaxel efficiently induce senescence in angiosarcoma cells. Subsequent treatment with the senolytic agent ABT-263 eliminates senescent cells by activating the apoptotic pathway. In addition, expression analysis indicates that senescence-associated secretory phenotype genes are activated in senescent angiosarcoma cells and that ABT-263 treatment downregulates IFN-I pathway genes in senescent cells. Moreover, we show that cisplatin treatment alone requires high doses to remove angiosarcoma cells. In contrast, lower doses of cisplatin are sufficient to induce senescence, followed by the elimination of senescent cells by the senolytic treatment. This study sheds light on a potential therapeutic strategy against angiosarcoma by combining a relatively low dose of cisplatin with the ABT-263 senolytic agent, which can help ease the deleterious side effects of chemotherapy."
+6338,skin cancer,38569982,Pharmacological agents targeting drug-tolerant persister cells in cancer.,"Current cancer therapy can be effective, but the development of drug resistant disease is the usual outcome. These drugs can eliminate most of the tumor burden but often fail to eliminate the rare, ""Drug Tolerant Persister"" (DTP) cell subpopulations in residual tumors, which can be referred to as ""Persister"" cells. Therefore, novel therapeutic agents specifically targeting or preventing the development of drug-resistant tumors mediated by the remaining persister cells subpopulations are needed. Since approximately ninety percent of cancer-related deaths occur because of the eventual development of drug resistance, identifying, and dissecting the biology of the persister cells is essential for the creation of drugs to target them. While there remains uncertainty surrounding all the markers identifying DTP cells in the literature, this review summarizes the drugs and therapeutic approaches that are available to target the persister cell subpopulations expressing the cellular markers ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 5 (ABCB5), CD133, CD271, Lysine-specific histone demethylase 5 (KDM5), and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). Persister cells expressing these markers were selected as the focus of this review because they have been found on cells surviving following drug treatments that promote recurrent drug resistant cancer and are associated with stem cell-like properties, including self-renewal, differentiation, and resistance to therapy. The limitations and obstacles facing the development of agents targeting these DTP cell subpopulations are detailed, with discussion of potential solutions and current research areas needing further exploration."
+6339,skin cancer,38569943,Adjuvants in cutaneous vaccination: A comprehensive analysis.,"Skin is the body's largest organ and serves as a protective barrier from physical, thermal, and mechanical environmental challenges. Alongside, the skin hosts key immune system players, such as the professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) like the Langerhans cells in the epidermis and circulating macrophages in the blood. Further, the literature supports that the APCs can be activated by antigen or vaccine delivery via multiple routes of administration through the skin. Once activated, the stimulated APCs drain to the associated lymph nodes and gain access to the lymphatic system. This further allows the APCs to engage with the adaptive immune system and activate cellular and humoral immune responses. Thus, vaccine delivery via skin offers advantages such as reliable antigen delivery, superior immunogenicity, and convenient delivery. Several preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated the significance of vaccine delivery using various routes of administration via skin. However, such vaccines often employ adjuvant/(s), along with the antigen of interest. Adjuvants augment the immune response to a vaccine antigen and improve the therapeutic efficacy. Due to these reasons, adjuvants have been successfully used with infectious disease vaccines, cancer immunotherapy, and immune-mediated diseases. To capture these developments, this review will summarize preclinical and clinical study results of vaccine delivery via skin in the presence of adjuvants. A focused discussion regarding the FDA-approved adjuvants will address the experiences of using such adjuvant-containing vaccines. In addition, the challenges and regulatory concerns with these adjuvants will be discussed. Finally, the review will share the prospects of adjuvant-containing vaccines delivered via skin."

BV was initiated as a treatment for mycosis fungoides, a form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The patient was diagnosed with severe hyperglycaemia with ketosis. Empiric treatment with amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, hydration and intravenous insulin infusion was initiated. Hyperglycaemia persisted despite receiving massive amounts of insulin and was corrected only after treatment with high-dose methylprednisolone for suspected type B insulin resistance. Extremely high and difficult-to-treat hyperglycaemia is a rare side effect of BV. Unfortunately, the patient died of upper gastrointestinal bleeding 22 days after discharge. In patients with obesity and/or diabetes mellitus, the blood glucose levels should be carefully monitored when treated with BV."

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of radiation on nurses working in an ERCP unit. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was completed between June and August 2022 with the voluntary participation of 114 ERCP nurses. The data were collected using WhatsApp messenger through a Google Form. It was determined that, of the nurses, 68.4% received training on radiation safety, all of them took protective measures, 98.2% had knowledge about the effects of radiation, and 93.9% used dosimeters. Nurses stated that they mostly experienced fatigue (94.7%), loss of energy (68.4%), headache (39.3%), hair loss (35.1%), weakness (18%), leg and joint pain (15.1%), thyroid diseases (12.3%), skin discoloration (7.9%), and anemia (7.9%) as the possible effects of radiation during the period they worked in ERCP. The study found that 3.5% of the nurses were diagnosed with cancer while working in the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography unit. Additionally, ERCP nurses experienced the negative effects of radiation at different rates, but there was no significant relationship between demographic and health characteristics and experiencing the negative effects of radiation."

To explore and elucidate the clinical significance of specific circular RNA in melanoma and its potential molecular mechanism. CircROR1 expression in melanoma cells and tissues was confirmed by qRT-PCR and ISH. qRT-PCR and Western blotting were performed to measure the levels of CCNE1, KAT2A, MMP9 and TIMP2. MTT, Transwell and wound healing assays were performed to evaluate cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis. A xenograft mouse model was established to further verify the CircROR1/CCNE1 axis in vivo. RNA pull-down and RIP assays were performed to detect the direct interaction KAT2A and CircROR1. A ChIP assay was used to investigate the enrichment of H3K9ac acetylation in the CCNE1 promoter. CircROR1 was significantly upregulated in metastatic melanoma cells and tissues, promoting proliferation, invasion and metastasis in vitro and tumour growth in vivo. CircROR1 overexpression increased CCNE1 and MMP9 protein expression and decreased TIMP2 protein expression. Functional rescue assays demonstrated that CircROR1 played a role in promoting malignant progression through CCNE1. CircROR1 specifically bound to the KAT2A protein without affecting its expression. CircROR1 overexpression increased the level of H3K9ac modification in the CCNE1 promoter region by recruiting KAT2A, thus upregulating CCNE1 expression. CircROR1 upregulates CCNE1 expression through KAT2A-mediated histone acetylation. Our research confirms the critical role of CircROR1 in melanoma invasion and metastasis, and CircROR1 could serve as a potential therapeutic target for melanoma treatment."

This has led to the practice of only the most complicated basal cell carcinomas being operated on with this technique. The purpose of this study was to present the results of these surgeries in patients with at least 5 years of follow-up. A retrospective study of all patients operated upon in 2010-2015 was performed. Data were gathered from their medical charts. Primary outcome was recurrence of basal cell carcinoma. One-hundred and sixty-seven patients were operated on. Mohs' micrographic surgery was used for tumours that were judged as highly aggressive on preoperative biopsy, had ill-defined borders, had recurred after previous surgery, or a combination of these factors. Nine recurrences (5.4% of all radical Mohs' micrographic surgeries) were diagnosed after a mean postoperative time of 37 months (4-84 months). Interestingly, all of these 9 recurrences after Mohs' micrographic surgery were in patients who had such surgery because of a recurrent basal cell carcinoma to start with. Good results can be achieved when operating on the most complicated periocular basal cell carcinomas with Mohs' micrographic surgery but special care has to be taken to ensure radical borders when operating on recurring basal cell carcinomas."
+6357,skin cancer,38566380,Skin Microbial Composition and Genetic Mutation Analysis in Precision Medicine for Epidermolysis Bullosa.,"Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is an inherited skin disease representing a spectrum of rare genetic disorders. These conditions share the common trait that causes fragile skin, resulting in the development of blisters and erosions. The inheritance follows an autosomal pattern, and the array of clinical presentations leads to significant physical suffering, considerable morbidity, and mortality. Despite EB having no cure, effectively managing EB remains an exceptional challenge due to its rarity and complexity, occasionally casting a profound impact on the lives of affected individuals. Considering that EB management requires a multidisciplinary approach, this sometimes worsens the condition of patients with EB due to inappropriate handling. Thus, more appropriate and precise treatment management of EB is essentially needed. Advanced technology in medicine and health comes into the bioinformatics era. Including treatment for skin diseases, omics-based approaches aim to evaluate and handle better disease management and treatment. In this work, we review several approaches regarding the implementation of omics-based technology, including genetics, pathogenic mutation, skin microbiomics, and metagenomics analysis for EB. In addition, we highlight recent updates on the potential of metagenomics analysis in precision medicine for EB."

However, the lack of commercially available cSCC cell lines hinders our understanding of this disease. This study aims to establish and characterize a new metastatic cSCC cell line derived from a Brazilian patient. A tumor biopsy was taken from a metastatic cSCC patient, immortalized, and named HCB-541 after several passages. The cytokeratin expression profile, karyotypic alterations, mutational analysis, mRNA and protein differential expression, tumorigenic capacity in xenograft models, and drug sensitivity were analyzed. The HCB-541 cell line showed a doubling time between 20 and 30 h and high tumorigenic capacity in the xenograft mouse model. The HCB-541 cell line showed hypodiploid and hypotetraploidy populations. We found pathogenic mutations in TP53 p.(Arg248Leu), HRAS (Gln61His) and TERT promoter (C228T) and high-level microsatellite instability (MSI-H) in both tumor and cell line. We observed 37 cancer-related genes differentially expressed when compared with HACAT control cells. The HCB-541 cells exhibited high phosphorylated levels of EGFR, AXL, Tie, FGFR, and ROR2, and high sensitivity to cisplatin, carboplatin, and EGFR inhibitors. Our study successfully established HCB-541, a new cSCC cell line that could be useful as a valuable biological model for understanding the biology and therapy of metastatic skin cancer."

We present a patient in her 60s with a 10-year-old burn scar developing a biopsy-proven squamous cell carcinoma on the lateral aspect of the left thigh with metastatic superficial inguinal node. A wide excision and grafting of ulcer with ilioinguinal dissection done on left side. On the 12th postoperative day 2, subcutaneous swellings adjacent to the grafted area developed, on biopsy revealed to be pleomorphic sarcoma.

+6363,skin cancer,38565228,Rapid progression from MDS to AML with gastric submucosal tumour as an extramedullary infiltration.,"We present a rare case of myeloid sarcoma in the stomach of an elderly woman initially diagnosed with anaemia. Myeloid sarcoma, an unusual extramedullary manifestation of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), primarily affects lymph nodes, bones, spine and skin, with gastrointestinal involvement being infrequent. Despite normal results from the initial endoscopy, a follow-up examination after 4 months revealed multiple submucosal gastric tumours. These developments coincided with worsening of anaemia and an increase in peripheral myeloblasts. Pathological evaluation and immunohistochemical staining confirmed gastric extramedullary infiltration associated with AML. This case highlights the importance of comprehensive diagnostic processes when suspecting leukaemic transformations, especially in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Due to financial constraints, additional critical studies such as cytogenetics and next-generation sequencing were not performed. Nonetheless, this rare case demonstrates the visual observation of rapid progression from MDS to AML and concurrent early myeloid sarcoma development in an elderly patient."
+6364,skin cancer,38565069,Melanoma-associated melanocortin 1 receptor variants confer redox signaling-dependent protection against oxidative DNA damage.,"Cutaneous melanoma, a lethal skin cancer, arises from malignant transformation of melanocytes. Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is a major environmental risk factor for melanoma since its interaction with the skin generates DNA damage, either directly or indirectly via oxidative stress. Pheomelanin pigments exacerbate oxidative stress in melanocytes by UVR-dependent and independent mechanisms. Thus, oxidative stress is considered to contribute to melanomagenesis, particularly in people with pheomelanic pigmentation. The melanocortin 1 receptor gene (MC1R) is a major melanoma susceptibility gene. Frequent MC1R variants (varMC1R) associated with fair skin and red or yellow hair color display hypomorphic signaling to the cAMP pathway and are associated with higher melanoma risk. This association is thought to be due to production of photosensitizing pheomelanins as well as deficient induction of DNA damage repair downstream of varMC1R. However, the data on modulation of oxidative DNA damage repair by MC1R remain scarce. We recently demonstrated that varMC1R accelerates clearance of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced DNA strand breaks in an AKT-dependent manner. Here we show that varMC1R also protects against ROS-dependent formation of 8-oxodG, the most frequent oxidative DNA lesion. Since the base excision repair (BER) pathway mediates clearance of these DNA lesions, we analyzed induction of BER enzymes in human melanoma cells of varMC1R genotype. Agonist-mediated activation of both wildtype (wtMC1R) and varMC1R significantly induced OGG and APE-1/Ref1, the rate-limiting BER enzymes responsible for repair of 8-oxodG. Moreover, we found that NADPH oxidase (NOX)-dependent generation of ROS was responsible for AKT activation and oxidative DNA damage repair downstream of varMC1R. These observations provide a better understanding of the functional properties of melanoma-associated MC1R alleles and may be useful for the rational development of strategies to correct defective varMC1R responses for efficient photoprotection and melanoma prevention in fair-skinned individuals."

We included all patients with cutaneous melanoma who underwent SLN biopsy at the Melanoma Center of the University of Brescia, following the Italian Association of Medical Oncology National guidelines from January 2008 to August 2018. Regression and its extent (<75 or ≥75%) and the presence of TILs were reevaluated by a trained dermatopathologist, adhering to the 2017 College of American Pathologists Cancer Protocol for Skin Melanoma. These patients were followed up for 5 years. Our study uncovered significant associations between regression and male sex ( P  < 0.05), melanoma location on the trunk, upper limbs, and back ( P  = 0.001), ulceration ( P  < 0.05), lower Breslow thickness ( P  = 0.001), and the presence of lymphocytic infiltration (both brisk and nonbrisk) ( P  < 0.001). Regression and its extent, however, did not appear to affect SLN positivity ( P  = 0.315). Similarly, our data did not reveal a correlation between TILs and result of SLN biopsy ( P  = 0.256). When analyzing MSS and RFS in relation to the presence or absence of regression and TILs, no statistically significant differences were observed, thus precluding the need for logistic regression and Kaplan-Meier curve analysis. This study's findings underscore that regression and TILs do not appear to exert an influence on sentinel lymph node status, MSS, or RFS in our cohort of patients."

The main genetic drivers of melanoma include BRAF, NRAS, KIT and triple wild-type (TWT) mutations. Little is known about the effects of these mutations on outcomes in terms of demographics and patient characteristics. We examined differences in melanoma mortality risk and mutation count across mutation type and patient disease profile. We extrapolated primary melanoma patient data from 14 studies via the cBioportal database. Patients were divided into demographic groups and classified according to BRAF, NRAS, KIT and TWT mutation status. Analyses included two-sample Student t -test and two-way analysis of variance tests analysis with Tukey's post hoc test. Survival outcomes were compared via Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox regression. NRAS-mutated patients exhibited decreased overall survival compared to BRAF-mutated patients. Male patients had higher mutation counts across all gene groups than females, with the fewest TWT mutations in comparison to BRAF, NRAS and KIT mutations. Males also exhibited increased mortality risk for NRAS, KIT and TWT mutations compared to BRAF mutations. An unknown primary melanoma was associated with increased mortality risk across all gene groups. NRAS-mutated acral melanoma patients had an increased mortality risk compared to NRAS-mutated cutaneous melanoma patients. Older patients had a higher mortality risk than younger patients. Patients with heavier versus lower weights had lower mortality risk, which was more pronounced for BRAF-mutated patients. These relationships highlight the importance of demographic and pathologic relationships to aid in risk assessment and personalize treatment plans."

+6369,skin cancer,38564347,Modeling Defensive Response of Cells to Therapies: Equilibrium Interventions for Regulatory Networks.,"A major objective in genomics is to design interventions that can shift undesirable behaviors of such systems (i.e., those associated with cancers) into desirable ones. Several intervention policies have been developed in recent years, including dynamic and structural interventions. These techniques aim at making targeted changes to cell dynamics upon intervention, without considering the cell's defensive mechanisms to interventions. This simplified assumption often leads to early and short-term success of interventions, followed by partial or full recurrence of diseases. This is due to the fact that cells often have dynamic and intelligent responses to interventions through internal stimuli. This paper models gene regulatory networks (GRNs) using the Boolean network with perturbation. The dynamic and adaptive battle between intervention and the cell is modeled as a two-player zero-sum game, where intervention and the cell fight against each other with fully opposite objectives. An optimal intervention policy is obtained as a Nash equilibrium solution, through which the intervention is stochastic, ensuring the optimal solution to all potential cell responses. We analytically analyze the superiority of the proposed intervention policy against existing intervention techniques. Comprehensive numerical experiments using the p53-MDM2 negative feedback loop regulatory network and melanoma network demonstrate the high performance of the proposed method."

However, diagnosis of IVLBCL is usually difficult due to the lack of mass formation. IVLBCL may be fatal when the diagnosis is delayed, so an accurate early diagnosis is the key to successful treatment. Random skin biopsy (RSB), in which specimens are sampled from normal-appearing skin, has been reported as useful. However, the specific method of RSB remains controversial, with individual institutions using either the punch method or the incisional method. Research has shown that the incisional method has higher sensitivity than the punch method. We discuss whether this difference might owe to the collection of punch specimens from an insufficient depth and whether the punch method might result in false negatives. For RSB, we recommend taking specimens not only from normal-appearing skin, but also from any lesional skin, because lesions may reflect micro IVLBCL lesions. To ensure accurate diagnosis, both dermatologists and hematologists should know the proper method of RSB. This review summarizes the appropriate biopsy method and sites for RSB."
+6372,skin cancer,38563818,Divergent local and systemic antitumor response in primary uveal melanomas.,"Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common cancer of the eye. The loss of chromosome 3 (M3) is associated with a high risk of metastases. M3 tumors are more infiltrated by T-lymphocytes than low-risk disomic-3 (D3) tumors, contrasting with other tumor types in which T cell infiltration correlates with better prognosis. Whether these T cells represent an antitumor response and how these T cells would be primed in the eye are both unknown. Herein, we characterized the T cells infiltrating primary UMs. CD8+ and Treg cells were more abundant in M3 than in D3 tumors. CD39+PD-1+CD8+ T cells were enriched in M3 tumors, suggesting specific responses to tumor antigen (Ag) as confirmed using HLA-A2:Melan-A tetramers. scRNAseq-VDJ analysis of T cells evidenced high numbers of proliferating CD39+PD1+CD8+ clonal expansions, suggesting in situ antitumor Ag responses. TCRseq and tumor-Ag tetramer staining characterized the recirculation pattern of the antitumor responses in M3 and D3 tumors. Thus, tumor-Ag responses occur in localized UMs, raising the question of the priming mechanisms in the absence of known lymphatic drainage."
+6373,skin cancer,38563557,Reinnervated Serratus Free Flap for a Functional Outcome in Tongue Reconstruction: A Surgical Technique Video.,"The current benchmark for tongue reconstruction after excision of locally advanced tumors involves the use of free skin or fasciocutaneous flaps, such as the anterolateral thigh flap or forearm free flap. They facilitate the volumetric reconstruction of the tongue, leveraging passive mobility from the remaining native tongue tissue. The challenge in tongue reconstruction surgery remains achieving functional restoration through adequate volume and optimized mobility, using tissue that is both adapted and comparable to native tissue. Although the free serratus muscle flap has been described for various indications, its application in tongue reconstructions remains underexploited. In cases of locally advanced tumors affecting the mobile tongue, typically within the junctional area and without extension to the floor of the mouth or to the tip of the tongue, the serratus free flap has shown positive results. Reinnervation of the flap is achieved connecting the thoracodorsal nerve to the descending branch of the XII nerve. This technique facilitates functional tongue reconstruction, promoting rapid mucosal epithelialization and reinnervation, which, in turn, preserves muscle volume and sustains adequate trophicity without fibrosis. Regarding these considerations, the pure muscle serratus free flap emerges as a valuable and effective alternative in tongue reconstruction. There is a dearth of step-by-step operative technique descriptions for this indication in the literature. The authors present videos demonstrating the surgical technique, showcasing procedures as performed at Tenon Hospital (Paris, France)."

Here, we revisit this debate and the preconceived notion that the increased detection of early-stage melanoma should necessarily be followed within the same population by a reduction in the incidence of advanced stages, which is not supported by any evidence. The issue of overdiagnosis, which has been debated for several decades, is discussed in the light of screening practices. We illustrate with two of its common motives, why this practice is ineffective. Finally, we suggest that the risk of overdiagnosis has probably reached its climax over the last two decades, as the increasing sensitivity of skin-imaging tools has not been followed by a refinement of histopathologic diagnostic criteria."

+6376,skin cancer,38563446,Prognostic significance of sentinel lymph node biopsy in elderly with cutaneous melanoma: systematic review and meta-analysis.,"Sentinel lymph node biopsy is the most powerful prognostic indicator to date for cutaneous melanoma. Even though elderly patients have a lower incidence of sentinel node involvement, its results are still necessary for access to adjuvant therapies. This is highly relevant considering that the Western population shows an aging trend, and the incidence of melanoma has grown exponentially over the years, making elderly patients more likely to die from melanoma than younger ones. We performed a systematic review to investigate the prognostic significance of sentinel lymph node biopsy in elderly patients with melanoma. The systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines and registered in PROSPERO. The authors searched the Cochrane Database, EMBASE, PubMed, and WOS. Eligible studies for the systematic review were clinical trials, observational population studies, clinical or hospital-based cohort studies, and case-control studies. The meta-analysis was conducted using the R software program applying the meta package. Six reports were identified to meet the inclusion criteria. All studies were retrospective, non-randomized cohorts. The results obtained in this systematic review show a statistically significant influence of sentinel lymph node biopsy on disease-specific survival (HR = 2.87; 95% CI: 1.73-4.74) but also suggest that a positive result negatively impacts disease-free survival (HR = 3.41; 95% CI: 0.96-12.11). This meta-analysis shows that a positive sentinel lymph node biopsy does not imply differences in overall survival but significantly influences disease-specific survival and suggests an unfavorable impact on disease-free survival."

Imbalances in the skin can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, excessive intake, insufficient nutrients, and hazardous ingredients. Patients frequently inquire about the impact of dietary patterns on skin health when consulting dermatologists in clinical settings. Simultaneously, the popularity of using nutritional supplements containing vitamins, minerals, and nutraceutical blends has been on the rise. It is crucial for dermatologists, primary care physicians, and other healthcare providers to be acquainted with evidence-based dietary interventions, distinguishing them from those that are more market-driven than truly efficacious. This review explores the modification of diet, encompassing both dietary exclusion and supplementation, as a therapeutic approach for conditions such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, bullous disease, vitiligo, and alopecia areata. A comprehensive literature search, utilizing the PubMed/Medline, Google Scholar, and Medscape databases, was conducted to investigate the relationship between each nutrient and various inflammatory skin diseases. The findings emphasize the significance of a well-balanced and thoughtfully planned diet in supplying adequate amounts of proteins, vitamins, and minerals to support optimal skin health. Additionally, this comprehensive review navigates through various dietary recommendations, offering insights into their multifaceted impacts on the immune system, gut microbiome, and skin health. The goal is to pave the way for informed and targeted dietary interventions for individuals dealing with food allergies and associated skin conditions."

In October 2022, ITSCC held its biennial 4-day scientific symposium in Essex, Massachusetts. This meeting was attended by members of both ITSCC and SCOPE and consisted of specialists including Mohs micrographic and dermatologic oncology surgeons, medical dermatologists, transplant dermatologists, transplant surgeons, and transplant physicians. During this symposium scientific workshop groups focusing on consensus standards for case reporting of retrospective series for invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), defining immunosuppressed patient status for cohort reporting, development of multi-institutional registry for reporting rare tumors, and development of a KERACON clinical trial of interventions after a SOTRs' first cutaneous SCC were developed. The majority of the symposium focused on presentation of the most up to date research in cutaneous malignancy in SOTR and immunosuppressed patients with specific focus on chemoprevention, immunosuppression regimens, immunotherapy in SOTRs, spatial transcriptomics, and the development of cutaneous tumor registries. Here, we present a summary of the most impactful scientific updates presented at the 2022 ITSCC symposium."

Smartwatches actively warn us of arrhythmia risk and loud noise exposure. However, dermatologic health metrics are rarely monitored, and users are never alerted of potential skin health issues. Furthermore, the role of these devices within dermatology has not been evaluated in the literature. This study aims to analyze the current data points monitored by smartwatches and discuss potential adaptations to support dermatologic patient education and improve clinical management.  Methods: The top three smartwatches per global market share were identified and analyzed to determine the health data points they monitor and the alerts they provide. These data points were grouped and compared based on their corresponding body systems.  Results: Cardiovascular health comprises the highest percentage of data points collected with an average of 41% while dermatologic health averaged only 11%.  Conclusion: Dermatology is grossly underrepresented in current smartwatch devices. There is an important need to expand the dermatologic health metrics tracked by adapting existing smartwatch technology. From proactive cancer prevention to disease-specific reactive interventions, smartwatches can play a significant role in improving dermatological health and reducing healthcare costs."

On the basis of the concept of stimulating T-cell responses against neoantigens encoded by a tumor's host of personal mutations, these vaccines utilize genome or exome sequencing, mutation calling, and epitope prediction followed by manufacturing of a customized vaccine for each patient. In their 2012 Cancer Research publication, Castle and colleagues provided evidence that vaccinating with long peptide vaccines encompassing neoantigens can generate robust immune responses and induce antitumor activity in a mouse B16F10 melanoma. This approach, harnessing the exquisite specificity of mutations to the tumor and thus providing an effective target for cancer vaccines, was subsequently shown to be safe and immunogenic in a series of small first in man trials in patients with melanoma. The field has accelerated and expanded substantially over the last 5 years, propelled by increasing evidence for vaccine-mediated clinical efficacy, leading to ongoing registrational trials using personalized RNA neoantigen vaccines in patients with melanoma and several other malignancies.

These patients are frail and elderly, have various comorbidities, and receive pharmacological polytherapy. Moreover, adverse events may have a significant impact on therapeutic adherence, which must be managed by the clinician. We evaluated the impact of caregivers on the treatment of patients with advanced BCC in terms of continuation of therapy over time. All patients included in this observational prospective study had histologically confirmed metastatic or locally advanced BCC (LaBCC) and were treated with hedgehog pathway inhibitors from January 2016 to December 2021 at the Department of Dermatology at the University of Florence, Italy. The collected patient data included: age, sex, BCC site and area of spread; number of cycles, dose, duration and tolerability of therapy; marital status (single, divorced, married/living with a partner, widow/widower); and information such as living with someone, and the presence of any caregivers. Of the 34 patients included, 33 had LaBCC and one metastatic BCC. There were 11 females (32.4%) and 23 males (67.6%). Patients who were married or living with a caregiver -tolerated therapy better than single patients who lived alone. Indeed, patients with married/live-in caregivers and/or those with an adequate caregiver experienced greater therapeutic adherence and tolerance of adverse events. Given the greater therapeutic adherence of patients with live-in caregivers as partners, it is essential to consider patients' marital status. It is advisable to involve the caregiver early on, and there should be a training discussion on the various possible adverse events and the best way to mitigate them. Therapeutic success is linked not only to patients being informed but also to training of caregivers."
+6408,skin cancer,38557455,A systematic review of the risk of cutaneous malignancy associated with ultraviolet nail lamps: what is the price of beauty?,"Gel manicures have become part of a popular personal care service in the last two decades due to increased longevity of the polish and the added strength to the nail plate. Prolonged exposure to nail ultraviolet (UV) lamps is required to cure the gel polish. Despite the increased use of UV nail lamps, there is limited consensus in the literature on the risk of skin malignancy associated with UV nail lamps. The objective of this article was to provide a systematic review of the risk of skin malignancy associated with the use of UV nail lamps and to synthesize evidence-based recommendations on their safe usage. A systematic review of the literature was conducted on the databases, Medline and Embase, in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. The search yielded 2,331 non-duplicate articles. Nine were ultimately included, of which three were case reports, one was a cross-sectional study, and five were experimental studies. The risk of bias per the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines was high or unclear, likely due to the number of case reports included. Prolonged and repeated exposure to UV nail lamps may pose a low risk of skin cancer. It is important to note that the available evidence is weak, and patients should be informed about the limited data to make their own decisions. Dermatologists and other healthcare providers should be updated with the latest evidence to address patients' concerns about gel manicures and suggest practices which can effectively reduce the risk of cutaneous malignancy associated with gel manicures, such as the use of UV-blocking gloves or properly applied sunscreens."

Water pollutants can in general be classified as chemical (both organic and inorganic), physical, and biological agents. Certain chemical pollutants have been found to disrupt hormonal balance by blocking, mimicking, or disrupting functions within the intricate homeostasis of the human body. Moreover, certain water pollutants, including specific pesticides and industrial chemicals, have been associated with neurological and psychiatric disorders, such as mood swings, depression, cognitive decline, and anxiety, impacting both women and men. Water pollution is also associated with physical ailments, such as diarrhea, skin diseases, malnutrition, and cancer. Exposure to specific pollutants may promote premature menopause and vasomotor symptoms, elevate the risk of cardiovascular disease, and reduce bone density. In men, exposure to water pollution has been shown to reduce LH, FSH, and testosterone serum levels. The oxidative stress induced by pollutants prompts apoptosis of Sertoli and germ cells, inhibiting spermatogenesis and altering the normal morphology and concentration of sperm. Environmental estrogens further contribute to reduced sperm counts, reproductive system disruptions, and the feminization of male traits. Studies affirm that men generally exhibit a lower susceptibility than women to hormonal changes and health issues attributed to water pollutants. This discrepancy may be attributed to the varied water-related activities which have traditionally been undertaken by women, as well as differences in immune responses between genders. The implementation of effective measures to control water pollution and interventions aimed at safeguarding and enhancing the well-being of the aging population is imperative. The improvement of drinking water quality has emerged as a potential public health effort with the capacity to curtail the onset of cognitive impairment and dementia in an aging population."

Clinically derived serum and serum exosome samples were used to assess the mRNA expression of MAGEA3 and MAGEA4 by qRT-PCR, and serum MAGEA3 and MAGEA4 protein expression were evaluated by ELISA in total 133 healthy volunteers' and 289 LUAD patients' serum samples. An analysis of the relationship of the mRNA and protein expression of MAGEA3 and MAGEA4 with clinicopathologic parameters was performed and the diagnostic value of MAGEA3 and MAGEA4 was plotted on an ROC curve. In addition, the correlation of MAGEA3 mRNA with infiltrating immune cells was investigated through TIMER, the CIBERSORT algorithm and the TISIDB database. Expression of serum and serum exosome MAGEA3 and MAGEA4 mRNA were significantly higher in LUAD patients than in healthy donors. MAGEA3 mRNA associated with tumor diameter, TMN stage, and NSE in LUAD serum samples, and MAGEA3 mRNA correlated with N stage in serum-derived exosomes, possessing areas under the curve (AUC) of 0.721 and 0.832, respectively. Besides, serum MAGEA3 protein levels were elevated in LUAD patients, and were closely related to stage and NSE levels, possessing AUC of 0.781. Further analysis signified that the expression of MAGEA3 mRNA was positive correlation with neutrophil, macrophages M2, dendritic cells resting, and eosinophilic, but negatively correlated with B cells, plasma cells, CD8 + T cells, CD4 + T cells, Th17 cells, macrophages and dendritic cells. Collectively, our results suggested that the MAGEA3 expression in mRNA and protein were upregulated in LUAD, and MAGEA3 could be used as a diagnostic biomarker and immunotherapy target for LUAD patients."

A systematic review of RCTs involving SCC was conducted among the top ten most impactful dermatology journals from inception to July 10th, 2023. Studies were included if they reviewed the treatment, prevention, or detection of SCC, involved patients directly and were classified as traditional RCTs. Studies were considered positive for reporting SOC if there was any demographic data in the methods or results of the following terms: Fitzpatrick scale, race, ethnicity, sunburn tendency, or skin of color. Of the 39 studies which were identified, 23 reported data related to skin color data (59.0%). White individuals were the most reported in these studies (56.5%). Subgroup analysis was conducted, and no statistical significance was found for study location, year of publication, or funding source. Skin color impacts skin cancer detection, predominant location of tumors, and recurrence. Less than 60% of high-quality RCTs related to SCC in top global dermatology journals included skin color among the demographic traits of study participants. Subgroup analysis demonstrated no improvement in reporting over the past 2 decades. Further research is needed to understand the reason for low skin color reporting rates among SCC-related RCTs and the impact this has on society."

+6438,skin cancer,38554069,The selective deployment of AI in healthcare: An ethical algorithm for algorithms.,"Machine-learning algorithms have the potential to revolutionise diagnostic and prognostic tasks in health care, yet algorithmic performance levels can be materially worse for subgroups that have been underrepresented in algorithmic training data. Given this epistemic deficit, the inclusion of underrepresented groups in algorithmic processes can result in harm. Yet delaying the deployment of algorithmic systems until more equitable results can be achieved would avoidably and foreseeably lead to a significant number of unnecessary deaths in well-represented populations. Faced with this dilemma between equity and utility, we draw on two case studies involving breast cancer and melanoma to argue for the selective deployment of diagnostic and prognostic tools for some well-represented groups, even if this results in the temporary exclusion of underrepresented patients from algorithmic approaches. We argue that this approach is justifiable when the inclusion of underrepresented patients would cause them to be harmed. While the context of historic injustice poses a considerable challenge for the ethical acceptability of selective algorithmic deployment strategies, we argue that, at least for the case studies addressed in this article, the issue of historic injustice is better addressed through nonalgorithmic measures, including being transparent with patients about the nature of the current epistemic deficits, providing additional services to algorithmically excluded populations, and through urgent commitments to gather additional algorithmic training data from excluded populations, paving the way for universal algorithmic deployment that is accurate for all patient groups. These commitments should be supported by regulation and, where necessary, government funding to ensure that any delays for excluded groups are kept to the minimum. We offer an ethical algorithm for algorithms-showing when to ethically delay, expedite, or selectively deploy algorithmic systems in healthcare settings."

This multicenter, incidence case-control study was conducted using the TRVaS registry. AAV patients without cancer history before AAV diagnosis were included. Demographic and AAV-related data of patients with and without an incident cancer were compared. Standardized cancer incidence rates were calculated using age-/sex-specific 2017 Turkish National Cancer Registry data for cancers (excluding non-melanoma skin cancers). Cox regression was performed to find factors related to incident cancers in AAV patients. Of 461 AAV patients (236 [51.2%] male), 19 had incident cancers after 2022.8 patient-years follow-up. Median (IQR) disease duration was 3.4 (5.5) years, and 58 (12.6%) patients died [7 with cancer and one without cancer (log-rank, p = 0.04)]. Cancer-diagnosed patients were older, mostly male, and more likely to have anti-PR3-ANCA positivity. The cumulative cyclophosphamide dose was similar in patients with and without cancer. Overall cancer risk in AAV was 2.1 (SIR) ((1.3-3.2), p = 0.004); lung and head-neck [primary target sites for AAV] cancers were the most common. In Cox regression, male sex and ≥ 60 years of age at AAV diagnosis were associated with increased cancer risk, while receiving rituximab was associated with decreased cancer risk. Cancer risk was 2.1 times higher in AAV patients than the age-/sex-specific cancer risk of the Turkish population population, despite a high rate of rituximab use and lower dose of cyclophosphamide doses. Vigilance in cancer screening for AAV patients covering lung, genitourinary, and head-neck regions, particularly in males and the elderly, is vital."

The standard of care for distant melanoma of the skin is immunotherapy with PD-1 inhibitors (nivolumab) or CTLA-4 inhibitors. In March 2022, the FDA approved the combination of nivolumab with relatlimab, a lymphocyte-activation gene 3 antibody. There are few reports on the efficacy of treating widespread multivisceral metastatic melanoma with nivolumab plus relatlimab with a complete clinical response. We describe the diagnosis and management of a patient with metastatic nodular melanoma treated with palliative resection of the primary tumor followed by immunotherapy with nivolumab and relatlimab. Four months after his first treatment, he had no evidence of disease on PET scan. He continued to show no evidence of disease at recent follow-up. Treatment of metastatic melanoma of the skin with nivolumab and relatlimab is an effective approach showing greater benefit to patients than nivolumab alone."

We present a case of a male patient who developed squamous cell carcinoma as a result of repeated instances of arsenic-induced keratosis on both his hands and feet. Due to the involvement of the joint in both hands, the patient declined the conventional surgical resection treatment since it could potentially impact normal physiological function. Instead, the patient chose to undergo hemoporphyrin photodynamic therapy. After the treatment, the rash was entirely eliminated and there were no restrictions in the movement of the joint. Nevertheless, a local recurrence was detected throughout the two-year monitoring period. Arsenical keratosis carries a substantial likelihood of recurring. However, we believe that hemoporphyrin photodynamic therapy is effective in treating this condition."
+6445,skin cancer,38552501,Application of Doxorubicin-loaded PLGA nanoparticles targeting both tumor cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts on 3D human skin equivalents mimicking melanoma and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.,"Nanoparticle (NP) use in cancer therapy is extensively studied in skin cancers. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), a major tumor microenvironment (TME) component, promote cancer progression, making dual targeting of cancer cells and CAFs an effective therapy. However, dual NP-based targeting therapy on both tumor cells and CAFs is poorly investigated in skin cancers. Herein, we prepared and characterized doxorubicin-loaded PLGA NPs (DOX@PLGA NPs) and studied their anti-tumor effects on cutaneous melanoma (SKCM)(AN, M14) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) (MET1, MET2) cell lines in monolayer, as well as their impact on CAF deactivation. Then, we established 3D full thickness models (FTM) models of SKCM and cSCC using AN or MET2 cells on dermis matrix populated with CAFs respectively, and assessed the NPs' tumor penetration, tumor-killing ability, and CAF phenotype regulation through both topical administration and intradermal injection. The results show that, in monolayer, DOX@PLGA NPs inhibited cancer cell growth and induced apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner, with a weaker effect on CAFs. DOX@PLGA NPs reduced CAF-marker expression and had successful anti-tumor effects in 3D skin cancer FTMs, with decreased tumor-load and invasion. DOX@PLGA NPs also showed great delivery potential in the FTMs and could be used as a platform for future functional study of NPs in skin cancers using human-derived skin equivalents. This study provides promising evidence for the potential of DOX@PLGA NPs in dual targeting therapy for SKCM and cSCC."

The average survival time after diagnosis is usually nine/twelve months. A multi-therapeutic approach is therefore required to treat and prevent recurrence. Boronated derivatives containing a carborane cage, a sulfamido group and an ureido functionality (CA-USF) have been designed, synthesised and tested, in order to couple Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) and the inhibition of Carbonic Anhydrases (CAs), which are overexpressed in many tumours. In vitro studies showed greater inhibition than the reference drug acetazolamide (AZ). To increase solubility in aqueous media, CA-USFs were used as inclusion complexes of hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) in all the inhibition and cell experiments. BNCT experiments carried out on AB22 (murine mesothelioma) cell lines showed a marked inhibition of cell proliferation by CA-USFs, and in one case a complete inhibition of proliferation twenty days after neutron irradiation. Finally, in vivo neutron irradiation experiments on a mouse model of mesothelioma demonstrated the efficiency of combining CA IX inhibition and BNCT treatment. Indeed, a greater reduction in tumour mass was observed in treated mice compared to untreated mice, with a significant higher effect when combined with BNCT. For in vivo experiments CA-USFs were administered as inclusion complexes of higher molecular weight β-CD polymers thus increasing the selective extravasation into tumour tissue and reducing clearance. In this way, boron uptake was maximised and CA-USFs demonstrated to be in vivo well tolerated at a therapeutic dose. The therapeutic strategy herein described could be expanded to other cancers with increased CA IX activity, such as melanoma, glioma, and breast cancer."

Here, this limitation is addressed by 2-photon excitation of the photosensitizer (2p-PDT) using ~100 fs pulses of near-infrared laser light. A critical role of melanin in enabling rather than hindering 2p-PDT is elucidated using pigmented and non-pigmented murine melanoma clonal cell lines in vitro.

Despite therapeutic advances in targeted therapy and immunotherapy, the overall survival of patients with melanoma remains unsatisfactory. Thus, a further understanding of the pathogenesis of melanoma may aid towards the development of therapeutic strategies. Lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1 (LPCAT1) is a key enzyme that converts lysophosphatidylcholine into phosphatidylcholine in lipid remodeling. In the present study, LPCAT1 was found to play a pro‑proliferative role in melanoma. Firstly, the expression of LPCAT1 was found to be upregulated in tissues from patients with melanoma compared with that in benign nevi. Subsequently, LPCAT1 knockdown was performed, utilizing short hairpin RNA, which induced melanoma cell cycle arrest at the G1/S transition and promoted cell death. Moreover, LPCAT1 facilitated melanoma cell growth in an Akt‑dependent manner. In summary, the results of the present study indicate that targeting LPCAT1 may impede cell proliferation by inhibiting Akt signaling, thus providing a promising therapeutic strategy for melanoma in clinical practice."

The outstanding results of CAR-T cells in some hematologic malignancies have launched the investigation of ACT in patients with refractory solid malignancies. However, certain characteristics of solid tumors, such as their antigenic heterogeneity and immunosuppressive microenvironment, hamper the efficacy of antigen-targeted treatments. Other ACT modalities, such as TIL therapy, have emerged as promising new strategies. TIL therapy has shown safety and promising activity in certain immunogenic cancers, mainly advanced melanoma, with an exciting rationale for its combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, the implementation of TIL therapy in clinical practice is hindered by several biological, logistic, and economic challenges. In this review, we aim to summarize the current knowledge, available clinical results, and potential areas of future research regarding the use of T cell therapy in patients with solid tumors."

These AI models, particularly deep-learning architectures, require large digital image datasets for development. This review provides an overview of the datasets used to develop AI algorithms and highlights the importance of dataset transparency for the evaluation of algorithm generalizability across varying populations and settings. Current challenges for curation of clinically valuable datasets are detailed, which include dataset shifts arising from demographic variations and differences in data collection methodologies, along with inconsistencies in labelling. These shifts can lead to differential algorithm performance, compromise of clinical utility, and the propagation of discriminatory biases when developed algorithms are implemented in mismatched populations. Limited representation of rare skin cancers and minoritized groups in existing datasets are highlighted, which can further skew algorithm performance. Strategies to address these challenges are presented, which include improving transparency, representation and interoperability. Federated learning and generative methods, which may improve dataset size and diversity without compromising privacy, are also examined. Lastly, we discuss model-level techniques that may address biases entrained through the use of datasets derived from routine clinical care. As the role of AI in skin cancer diagnosis becomes more prominent, ensuring the robustness of underlying datasets is increasingly important."

Data were collected prospectively from patients referred from primary care to a UK hospital dermatology department. The profession of the referrer was ascertained from review of referral letters and direct questioning. Patient records and subsequent histology reports were reviewed to determine the ultimate diagnoses. Eighty-nine per cent of patients (n = 668/753) were referred by GPs vs. 11.3% (n = 85/753) by NMPs. Fifty-one per cent of patients (n = 340/668) in the GP group and 55% (n = 47/85) in the NMP group were discharged without intervention (P = 0.45). An ultimate diagnosis of skin malignancy was made in 196 of 668 (29.3%) patients in the GP and 25 of 85 (29%) patients in the NMP group (P = 0.99). These early data suggest significant potential for NMPs to become more involved in skin lesion assessment.

CTCL is a heterogeneous group of skin malignancies of T cells, the cause of which remains unknown. This study aimed to determine the activity, spread, and cell tropism of the skin-persistent CuV. CuV DNA was detected in both skin biopsies (6/20, 30%) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) (4/29, 13.8%) from 49 CTCL/MF or PP patients, while none from 33 patients with any other type of skin disease or healthy subjects harbored CuV DNA. CuV DNA persisted in the skin or PBMCs for up to 15 years, despite circulating CuV-specific IgG. Spliced CuV mRNA was expressed in skin, indicating viral activity. Also, both of two available stool samples contained encapsidated CuV genomes, suggesting that the patients excrete infectious virus into the environment. Finally, CuV was observed to target circulating and skin-resident CD4 + T cells and some skin keratinocytes and macrophages. This is especially intriguing as malignant T cells in CTCL develop from CD4 + T cells. Hence, CuV should be further investigated for the overall role it plays in the complex tumor microenvironment of CTCL/MF."

Although it is a rare event, the occurrence of multiple tumors in a single patient raises a diagnostic dilemma, as metastatic disease should be differentiated from multiple primary malignant events. In more than 90% of DFSP, a pathogenic t(17;22) translocation leads to the expression of COL1A1::PDGFB fusion transcripts. Karyotype analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and RT-PCR can be useful ancillary studies in detecting this characteristic rearrangement, and sequencing of the fusion transcript can be used to support a clonal origin in metastatic and multifocal disease. However, previous reports have demonstrated variable sensitivity of these assays, in part due to the high sequence variability of the COL1A1::PDGFB fusion. Here, we report a patient who developed two distinct DFSP tumors over the course of 7 years.

However, through development of efficient isolation techniques, the use of primary blood dendritic cell subsets has come within reach. Manufacturing of blood-derived DCs has multiple advances over monocytes-derived DCs, including more standardized isolation and culture protocols and shorter production processes. In peripheral blood, multiple DC subsets can be distinguished based on their phenotype and function. Plasmacytoid DC (pDC) and myeloid/conventional DCs (cDC) are the two main DC populations, moreover cDC can be further subdivided into CD141/BDCA3"
+6479,skin cancer,38548256,Lymphatic-Dependent Modulation of the Sensitization and Elicitation Phases of Contact Hypersensitivity.,"Allergic contact dermatitis is a common inflammatory skin disease comprising 2 phases. During sensitization, immune cells are activated by exposure to various allergens, whereas repeated antigen exposure induces local inflammation during elicitation. In this study, we utilized mouse models lacking lymphatics in different skin regions to characterize the role of lymphatics separately in the 2 phases, using contact hypersensitivity as a model of human allergic inflammatory skin diseases. Lymphatic-deficient mice exhibited no major difference to single antigen exposure compared to controls. However, mice lacking lymphatics in both phases displayed reduced inflammation after repeated antigen exposure. Similarly, diminished immune response was observed in mice lacking lymphatics only in sensitization, whereas the absence of lymphatics only in the elicitation phase resulted in a more pronounced inflammatory immune response. This exaggerated inflammation is driven by neutrophils impacting regulatory T cell number. Collectively, our results demonstrate that skin lymphatics play an important but distinct role in the 2 phases of contact hypersensitivity. During sensitization, lymphatics contribute to the development of the antigen-specific immunization, whereas in elicitation, they moderate the inflammatory response and leukocyte infiltration in a neutrophil-dependent manner. These findings underscore the need for novel therapeutic strategies targeting the lymphatics in the context of allergic skin diseases."

Alongside their therapeutic success, the widespread application of ICIs has unveiled a spectrum of immune-related adverse events (irAEs), most often affecting the skin. Cutaneous irAEs (cirAEs) encompass a range from common morbilliform and lichenoid rashes to more severe conditions such as bullous dermatoses and psoriasiform eruptions, each presenting distinct clinical challenges. Moreover, less common but clinically severe cutaneous reactions like toxic epidermal necrolysis have also been observed. cirAEs are frequently observed, with an incidence ranging from 37% to 70% for anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 antibodies and 17% to 40% for anti- programmed death-1/anti-programmed death ligand-1 antibodies. Recognizing the critical need for effective therapeutic strategies, this review carefully examines current approaches and guidelines for managing cirAEs."

+6483,skin cancer,38547836,Acceptor-donor-acceptor type organic photothermal agents with enhanced NIR absorption and photothermal conversion effect for cancer photothermal therapy.,"Numerous photothermal agents (PTAs) require high-intensity and long-duration laser excitation for photothermal therapy (PTT), resulting in light damage to healthy skin and tissue as well as limiting their biomedical applications. Integrating desirable near-infrared (NIR) absorption and high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) into a single small-molecule PTA is an important prerequisite for realizing efficient PTT, but is a serious challenge. Herein, through molecular engineering strategy, an acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) type PTA (ADA3) was readily developed for 808 nm laser-driving photothermal imaging and PTT of tumor. Theoretical calculations and experiment results show molecular engineering strategy is significant in regulating the structure and energy gap of PTAs, so as to effectively induce a narrow band gap for NIR absorption and further optimize photothermal properties. ADA3 possesses molar extinction coefficient of 3.1 × 10"
+6484,skin cancer,38547795,Ibrutinib topical delivery for melanoma treatment: The effect of nanostructured lipid carriers' composition on the controlled drug skin deposition.,"Melanoma is responsible for more than 80% of deaths related to skin diseases. Ibrutinib (IBR), a Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been proposed to treat this type of tumor. However, its low solubility, extensive first-pass effect, and severe adverse reactions with systemic administration affect therapeutic success. This study proposes developing and comparing the performance of two compositions of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) to load IBR for the topical management of melanomas in their early stages. Initially, the effectiveness of IBR on melanoma proliferation was evaluated in vitro, and the results confirmed that the drug reduces the viability of human melanoma cells by inducing apoptosis at a dose that does not compromise dermal cells. Preformulation tests were then conducted to characterize the physical compatibility between the drug and the selected components used in NLCs preparation. Sequentially, two lipid compositions were used to develop the NLCs. Formulations were then characterized and subjected to in vitro release and permeation tests on porcine skin. The NLCs containing oleic acid effectively controlled IBR release over 24 h compared to the NLCs composed of pomegranate seed oil. Furthermore, the nanoparticles acted as permeation enhancers, increasing the fluidity of the lipids in the stratum corneum, as determined by EPR spectroscopy, which stimulated the IBR penetration more profoundly into the skin. However, the NLCs composition also influenced the permeation promotion factor. Thus, these findings emphasize the importance of the composition of NLCs in controlling and increasing the skin penetration of IBR and pave the way for future advances in melanoma therapy."

The integration of modern computer vision methods into clinical procedures offers the potential for enhancing the detection of skin cancer . The UNet model has gained prominence as a valuable tool for this objective, continuously evolving to tackle the difficulties associated with the inherent diversity of dermatological images. These challenges stem from diverse medical origins and are further complicated by variations in lighting, patient characteristics, and hair density. In this work, we present an innovative end-to-end trainable network crafted for the segmentation of skin cancer . This network comprises an encoder-decoder architecture, a novel feature extraction block, and a densely connected multi-rate Atrous convolution block. We evaluated the performance of the proposed lightweight skin cancer segmentation network (LSCS-Net) on three widely used benchmark datasets for skin lesion segmentation: ISIC 2016, ISIC 2017, and ISIC 2018.

There is therefore a need for technologies to accurately analyze and quantify changes in mitochondrial organization in a variety of cells and cellular contexts. Here we present an innovative computerized method that enables accurate, multiscale, fast and cost-effective analysis of mitochondrial shape and network architecture from confocal fluorescence images by providing more than thirty features. In order to facilitate interpretation of the quantitative results, we introduced two innovations: the use of Kiviat-graphs (herein named MitoSpider plots) to present highly multidimensional data and visualization of the various mito-cellular configurations in the form of morphospace diagrams (called MitoSigils). We tested our fully automated image analysis tool on rich datasets gathered from live normal human skin cells cultured under basal conditions or exposed to specific stress including UVB irradiation and pesticide exposure. We demonstrated the ability of our proprietary software (named MitoTouch) to sensitively discriminate between control and stressed dermal fibroblasts, and between normal fibroblasts and other cell types (including cancer tissue-derived fibroblasts and primary keratinocytes), showing that our automated analysis captures subtle differences in morphology. Based on this novel algorithm, we report the identification of a protective natural ingredient that mitigates the deleterious impact of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on mitochondrial organization. Hence we conceived a novel wet-plus-dry pipeline combining cell cultures, quantitative imaging and semiotic analysis for exhaustive analysis of mitochondrial morphology in living adherent cells. Our tool has potential for broader applications in other research areas such as cell biology and medicine, high-throughput drug screening as well as predictive and environmental toxicology."
+6494,skin cancer,38547126,Endocytic activation and exosomal secretion of matriptase stimulate the second wave of EGF signaling to promote skin and breast cancer invasion.,"The dysfunction of matriptase, a membrane-anchored protease, is highly related to the progression of skin and breast cancers. Epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced matriptase activation and cancer invasion are known but with obscure mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate a vesicular-trafficking-mediated interplay between matriptase and EGF signaling in cancer promotion. We found that EGF induces matriptase to undergo endocytosis together with the EGF receptor, followed by acid-induced activation in endosomes. Activated matriptase is then secreted extracellularly on exosomes to catalyze hepatocyte growth factor precursor (pro-HGF) cleavage, resulting in autocrine HGF/c-Met signaling. Matriptase-induced HGF/c-Met signaling represents the second signal wave of EGF, which promotes cancer cell scattering, migration, and invasion. These findings demonstrate a role of vesicular trafficking in efficient activation and secretion of membrane matriptase and a reciprocal regulation of matriptase and EGF signaling in cancer promotion, providing insights into the physiological functions of vesicular trafficking and the molecular pathological mechanisms of skin and breast cancers."

+6497,skin cancer,38546913,Genetic Variations Related to Angiotensin II Production and Risk for Basal Cell Carcinoma.,"Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most prevalent human neoplasm, with constantly increasing annual incidence. Despite its slow growth, BCC is locally invasive and, if left untreated, can cause severe complications, including metastasis and death. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a key role in electrolyte balance, atrial pressure, tissue development, homeostasis, and inflammation, but also in cancer development. After binding to its type 1 receptor (AT1R), angiotensin II (ANGII), the system's principal hormonal effector, regulates cancer pathways spanning from the formation of the initial cancer cell to the construction and nutrition of the tumor microenvironment, angiogenesis, proliferation, and metastasis. Although the role of RAS in the development of skin pathologies has not been widely researched, RAS-targeting antihypertensive medications have been shown to have a chemoprotective effect against BCC. Based on those findings, our group conducted a series of genetic association studies to investigate the association between common functional variations in key genes related to ANGII production (AGT, ACE, ACE2, AT1R, AT2R, and CMA1) and the risk of BCC occurrence. This review provides a summary of the current understanding of the ANGII involvement in BCC development. The reliable and easily assessed pool of genetic biomarkers may be used for predictive testing and prevention purposes in high-risk individuals."
+6498,skin cancer,38546776,Excision pathways for keratinocyte cancers diagnosed by teledermatology: a retrospective review.,"Introduction The New Zealand population has one of the highest incidences of skin cancer in the world. Hospital waiting lists for surgical excision of keratinocytic skin cancers (basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma) are lengthy, and increasingly, excisions are undertaken in primary care. Teledermatology, in response to general practitioners' electronic referrals (e-referrals), can improve clinical communication between general practitioners and dermatologists. Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate an excision pathway for keratinocytic cancers diagnosed by teledermatology. Methods A retrospective observational descriptive review of a 3-month cohort of primary care e-referrals was undertaken. Results Three hundred and fifty eight suspected keratinocytic cancers (KCs) were diagnosed by teledermatology; histology reports confirmed KC in 201 of 267 excisions (75%). The majority (77.2%) were excised by general practitioners an average of 25 days after the dermatologist's recommendation. The rest were excised by plastic surgeons in private (3.4%) or at a public hospital (19.5%) after an average of 40 or 134 days, respectively. Discussion E-referral pathways are now widely implemented. However, the ideal workflow for skin cancer management is unknown. We have demonstrated in New Zealand that surgery can be undertaken in primary care within a month of a teledermatology diagnosis and excision recommendation. Conclusion This study reports prompt excision of KCs by general practitioners after an e-referral and a teledermatology response."

We aimed to investigate the efficiency of CNS targets and tolerance of second-line combined anti-PD1/dual-targeted anti-BRAF/anti-MEK therapy implemented in patients with CNS progression after initially efficient first-line combined targeted therapy in patients with BRAF-mutated melanoma in a real-life setting. A monocentric retrospective analysis including all such patients treated from January 2017 to January 2022 was conducted in our tertiary referral center. The response of CNS lesions to second-line triple therapy was assessed through monthly clinical and at least quarterly morphological (according to RECIST criteria) evaluation. Tolerance data were also collected. Seventeen patients were included with a mean follow-up of 2.59 (±2.43) months. Only 1 patient displayed a significant clinical and morphological response. No statistically significant difference was observed between patients receiving or not additional local therapy (mainly radiotherapy) as to response achievement. Immunotherapy was permanently discontinued in 1 patient owing to grade 4 toxicity. Mean PFS and OS after CNS progression were 2.59 and 4.12 months, respectively. In this real-life survey, the subsequent addition of anti-PD1 to combined targeted therapy in melanoma patients with upfront CNS metastases did not result in significant response of CNS targets in most BRAF mutated melanoma patients with secondary CNS progression after initially successful first-line combined targeted therapy."

+6506,skin cancer,38546166,Combination of Molecule-Targeted Therapy and Photodynamic Therapy Using Nanoformulated Verteporfin for Effective Uveal Melanoma Treatment.,"Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary ocular malignancy in adults and has high mortality. Recurrence, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance are frequently observed in UM, but no beneficial systemic therapy is available, presenting an urgent need for developing effective therapeutic drugs. Verteporfin (VP) is a photosensitizer and a Yes-Associated Protein (YAP) inhibitor that has been used in clinical practice. However, VP's lack of tumor targetability, poor biocompatibility, and relatively low treatment efficacy hamper its application in UM management. Herein, we developed a biocompatible CD44-targeting hyaluronic acid nanoparticle (HANP) carrying VP (HANP/VP) to improve UM treatment efficacy. We found that HANP/VP showed a stronger inhibitory effect on cell proliferation than that of free VP in UM cells. Systemic delivery of HANP/VP led to targeted accumulation in the UM-tumor-bearing mouse model. Notably, HANP/VP mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) significantly inhibited UM tumor growth after laser irradiation compared with no treatment or free VP treatment. Consistently, in HANP/VP treated tumors after laser irradiation, the tumor proliferation and YAP expression level were decreased, while the apoptotic tumor cell and CD8+ immune cell levels were elevated, contributing to effective tumor growth inhibition. Overall, the results of this preclinical study showed that HANP/VP is an effective nanomedicine for tumor treatment through PDT and inhibition of YAP in the UM tumor mouse model. Combining phototherapy and molecular-targeted therapy offers a promising approach for aggressive UM management."

This study investigates laser HT therapy as a promising avenue for addressing skin cancer. Employing two distinct near-infrared (NIR) laser beams at 980 nm, we analyze temperature variations within tumors, employing Pennes' bioheat transfer equation as our fundamental investigative framework. Furthermore, our study delves into the influence of Ytterbium nanoparticles (YbNPs) on predicting temperature distributions in healthy and cancerous skin tissues. Our findings reveal that the application of YbNPs using a Gaussian beam shape results in a notable maximum temperature increase of 5 °C within the tumor compared to nanoparticle-free heating. Similarly, utilizing a flat top beam alongside YbNPs induces a temperature rise of 3 °C. While this research provides valuable insights into utilizing YbNPs with a Gaussian laser beam configuration for skin cancer treatment, a more thorough understanding could be attained through additional details on experimental parameters such as setup, exposure duration, and specific implications for skin cancer therapy."

In majority of patients, primary closure is possible following surgical resection of the tumor. Primary closure of wound may not be feasible in tumors with large area of skin involvement and sometimes following a whoops procedure. We analyzed postoperative complications and oncological outcomes in patients who underwent free flap reconstruction. Thirty-seven patients who required a free flap for reconstruction of the defect following resection of the STS were included in the study. There were 26 men and 11 women with a mean age of 40 years. Seventy-three percent tumors were in lower limb; 62% patients had undergone a whoops procedure elsewhere. Flaps were fasciocutaneous in 19, myocutaneous in 15, and free muscle transfers in 3 patients. Seventeen patients had early surgical site complications. Nine patients had early flap failures. Of the 9, 6 patients had total loss of flap and in 3 the flaps were salvaged. Two patients had partial loss (< 50% of total area) of flap. Four patients had edge necrosis and two had suture diastasis. Nine patients had late surgical site complications. Four had post-radiotherapy wound dehiscence. Late SSI was noted in two. Late joint contracture and chronic lymphedema was seen in one patient each. One died due to sepsis. Statistically significant association was not found between patient, tumor or treatment-related factors and complications or flap failures. Mean duration of surgery was 7.73 h. Twenty-three patients required multiple surgeries due to complications. Mean time to initiate adjuvant therapy from the date of surgery was 47 days. Mean OS of the group was 67 ± 7.3 months. Mean RFS was 58 ± 7.8 months. Single-stage free flap reconstruction following surgical resection of extremity sarcoma is a viable option of reconstruction while salvaging the limb.

A 65-year-old woman arrived to the Southern Medical University Nanfang Hospital (Guangzhou, China) with multiple sinus tracts and skin ulcers in the distal part of her left thigh, persisting for over 50 years following an open pierce injury by an ox horn. A local biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of COM-related SCC. Although limb amputation was recommended, the female patient declined initially. Instead, the female patient underwent focused debridement and wide resection of the tumor, followed by local implantation of calcium sulfate beads loaded with vancomycin and gentamycin, and application of a rail fixator. A total of 10 months later, the cancer recurred, affecting the osseous tissue. Subsequently, the patient underwent amputation of the thigh.

Although thyroid surgery has been performed in the past under local anesthesia in low-risk patients, thyroid surgery is now rarely performed under local anesthesia. If they are performed, thyroid surgery under local anesthesia is usually performed under monitored anesthesia care; sedation is considered safe and does not cause discomfort to patients. The present patient's respiratory function was poor, raising concerns that once intubated, extubation may not be possible because of the potential deterioration of respiratory function caused by the suppression of spontaneous breathing. Therefore, sedatives were avoided to maintain spontaneous breathing as much as possible. In such high-risk patients, additional care is required to ensure that the procedure is completed with minimal discomfort from pain or dyspnea. Maintaining a slightly upright position and raising the anesthesia screen are necessary to ensure a large space in front of the patient's face. In addition, an appropriate skin incision should be made to obtain a wide field of vision, and local anesthetic injections should be administered frequently to preemptively counter pain. Atropine sulfate was administered to reduce salivation and swallowing. Energy devices effectively reduced blood loss and operative time. Controlling intraoperative pain and bleeding is important, and the methods and techniques are also beneficial in surgery under general anesthesia."

In this study, as a first step, governing equations and finite element methods were employed to reproduce Franz diffusion cell experiment in human cadaver skin. The application of this experiment representative model with a fitting method resulted in approximate values for the diffusivity of doxorubicin across various skin layers. The estimated values were used later to conduct a comprehensive examination of doxorubicin administration for breast tumor treatments. In a 2D axisymmetric model using Fick's Law and then a microneedles array 3D model, crucial parameters effects on delivery efficiency were examined, such as the microneedle tip diameter, tip-to-tip distance, and tumor depth. As highlighted by the findings of this study, these parameters have an impact on the effectiveness of doxorubicin delivery for treating breast tumors. The focus of this research is on the potential of numerical methods in biomedical engineering, which addresses the urgent need for data on doxorubicin diffusion in human skin and offers valuable insights into optimizing drug delivery strategies for enhanced therapeutic outcomes."

The findings suggest a promising dual role for HPV vaccines in preventing and treating dermatologic conditions while emphasizing future research directions, including the immunization perspective against β-HPVs. Moreover, the presence of conflicting study outcomes underscores the imperative for larger-scale, randomized trials with well-matched control groups to validate the efficacy of HPV immunization in the dermatologic context. This review contributes valuable insights into the evolving landscape of HPV-vaccine applications in the field of dermatology."

However, this progress comes with an increasing occurrence of cardiovascular adverse reactions. A serious side effect is arterial hypertension (HT), which is the most frequent comorbidity encountered in cancer patients, influencing the outcomes in cancer survivors. Even though secondary HT related to specific chemotherapeutic agents, such as vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors, is usually mild and reversible, in rare instances it can be severe, leading to discontinuation of chemotherapy. In addition, HT per se has been studied as a potential risk factor for cancer development. The relationship is even more complex than previously thought, as concerning evidence recently highlighted the potential oncogenic effects of antihypertensive drugs, particularly thiazide diuretics, which may increase the risk of skin cancer. As a result, in light of the similar risk factors and overlapping pathophysiological mechanisms between HT and cancer, a promising concept of onco-hypertension has emerged, aiming to improve the understanding of the complicated interplay between these two pathologies and maintain a balance between the efficacy and risks of both antihypertensive drugs and chemotherapy agents."

Modern science has had a renewed interest in natural-products-based drug discovery. The quest for new potential secondary metabolites or exploring enhanced activities for existing molecules remains a pertinent topic for research. Resveratrol belongs to the stilbenoid polyphenols group that encompasses two phenol rings linked by ethylene bonds. Several plant species and foods, including grape skin and seeds, are the primary source of this compound. Resveratrol is known to possess potent anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, and immunoregulatory properties. Among the notable bioactivities associated with resveratrol, its pivotal role in safeguarding the intestinal barrier is highlighted for its capacity to prevent intestinal inflammation and regulate the gut microbiome. A better understanding of how oxidative stress can be controlled using resveratrol and its capability to protect the intestinal barrier from a gut microbiome perspective can shed more light on associated physiological conditions. Additionally, resveratrol exhibits antitumor activity, proving its potential for cancer treatment and prevention. Moreover, cardioprotective, vasorelaxant, phytoestrogenic, and neuroprotective benefits have also been reported. The pharmaceutical industry continues to encounter difficulties administering resveratrol owing to its inadequate bioavailability and poor solubility, which must be addressed simultaneously. This report summarizes the currently available literature unveiling the pharmacological effects of resveratrol."
+6529,skin cancer,38542294,Radiation Dermatitis: Radiation-Induced Effects on the Structural and Immunological Barrier Function of the Epidermis.,"An important hallmark of radiation dermatitis is the impairment of the mitotic ability of the stem/progenitor cells in the basal cell layers due to radiation-induced DNA damage, leading to suppressed cell renewal in the epidermis. However, this mechanism alone does not adequately explain the complex pathogenesis of radiation-induced skin injury. In this review, we summarize the latest findings on the complex pathogenesis of radiation dermatitis and correlate these with the clinical features of radiation-induced skin reactions. The current studies show that skin exposure to ionizing radiation induces cellular senescence in the epidermal keratinocytes. As part of their epithelial stress response, these senescent keratinocytes secrete pro-inflammatory mediators, thereby triggering skin inflammation. Keratinocyte-derived cytokines and chemokines modulate intercellular communication with the immune cells, activating skin-resident and recruiting skin-infiltrating immune cells within the epidermis and dermis, thereby orchestrating the inflammatory response to radiation-induced tissue damage. The increased expression of specific chemoattractant chemokines leads to increased recruitment of neutrophils into the irradiated skin, where they release cytotoxic granules that are responsible for the exacerbation of an inflammatory state. Moreover, the importance of IL-17-expressing γδ-T cells to the radiation-induced hyperproliferation of keratinocytes was demonstrated, leading to reactive hyperplasia of the epidermis. Radiation-induced, reactive hyperproliferation of the keratinocytes disturbs the fine-tuned keratinization and cornification processes, leading to structural dysfunction of the epidermal barrier. In summary, in response to ionizing radiation, epidermal keratinocytes have important structural and immunoregulatory barrier functions in the skin, coordinating interacting immune responses to eliminate radiation-induced damage and to initiate the healing process."

Chronic radiation-induced dermatitis (CRD) is a cutaneous toxicity that occurs in one-third of all patients treated with this method. CRD is usually observed several months after completion of treatment. Typical symptoms of CRD are telangiectasia, skin discoloration, atrophy, thickening, and cutaneous fibrosis. There are currently no data in the literature on the evaluation of the dermoscopic features of CRD. The aim of this prospective study was the identification of clinical and dermoscopic features in a group of 32 patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) in whom CRD developed after RT. CRD was assessed at 3, 6, and 12 months after RT in 16, 10, and 10 patients, respectively. CRD was assessed at one time point and two time points in 28 and 4 patients, respectively. The control included skin areas of the same patient not exposed to RT. The dataset consisted of 36 clinical and 216 dermoscopic photos. Clinical evaluation was performed according to the RTOG/EORTC radiation-induced dermatitis scale. The highest score was grade 2 observed in 21 patients. Clinical observations revealed the presence of slight and patchy atrophy, pigmentation change, moderate telangiectasias, and some and total hair loss. Dotted vessels, clustered vessel distribution, white patchy scale, perifollicular white color, white structureless areas, brown dots and globules, and white lines were the most frequently noted features in dermoscopy. Three independent risk factors for chronic toxicity, such as age, gender, and surgery before RT, were identified. The dermoscopic features that had been shown in our study reflect the biological reaction of the skin towards radiation and may be used for the parametrization of CRD regarding its intensity and any other clinical consequences in the future."

The main purpose of the present research was to evaluate the anticancer effects of the natural bioactive compounds xanthomicrol (XAN) and eupatilin (EUP) in human A375 malignant skin melanoma cells, a cell line widely used as an in vitro model of cutaneous melanoma. XAN and EUP are lipophilic methoxylated flavones with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor properties. The effects of XAN and EUP on cell viability, morphology, lipid profile, oxidative status, apoptosis, and mitochondrial membrane polarization were determined and compared in A375 cells. At 24 h-incubation (MTT assay), XAN significantly reduced viability at the dose range of 2.5-200 μM, while EUP showed a significant cytotoxicity from 25 μM. Moreover, both methoxylated flavones induced (at 10 and 25 μM, 24 h-incubation) marked cell morphological alterations (presence of rounded and multi-nucleated cells), signs of apoptosis (NucView 488 assay), and a noteworthy mitochondrial membrane depolarization (MitoView 633 assay), coupled to a marked lipid profile modulation, including variations in the ratio of phospholipid/cholesterol and a decrease in the oleic, palmitic, and palmitoleic acid amounts. Moreover, a remarkable time-dependent ROS generation (2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate assay) was observed during 3 h-incubation of A375 cancer cells in the presence of XAN and EUP (10 and 25 μM). Our results confirm the potential antitumor effect of natural EUP and XAN in cutaneous melanoma by the activation of multiple anticancer mechanisms."

Syndromes with multiple keratoacanthoma-like lesions have been documented as multiple self-healing squamous epithelioma (Ferguson-Smith syndrome), eruptive keratoacanthoma of Grzybowski, multiple familial keratoacanthoma of Witten and Zak Muir-Torre syndrome, and incontinentia pigmenti. The treatment approach of those entities is challenging due to the numerous lesions, the lesions' undefined nature, and the co-existence of other malignant skin tumors. Herein, we report a case of a 40-year-old woman who developed multiple treatment-resistant Ferguson-Smith-like keratoacanthomas with a co-existing large and ulcerated invasive squamous cell carcinoma and microcystic adnexal carcinoma on the scalp. Multiple keratoacanthomas on her extremities were successfully treated with oral acitretin (0.5 mg/kg/day) in combination with topical Fluorouracil (5-FU) 5%, while excision and plastic surgery restoration were performed to treat the ulcerated cancer lesion on her scalp. Due to the interesting nature of this rare syndrome, we performed a literature review including case reports and case series on multiple-KA-like lesions syndromes and focusing on diagnosis and therapy approaches. We also conducted a comparison of patient reports, which included assessing the clinical appearance of the lesions and evaluating the success and progress or the failure of various treatment approaches that were implemented."

Humans are known to express antimicrobial precursor proteins, which are further processed to generate AMPs, including several types of α/β defensins, histatins, and cathelicidin-derived AMPs like LL37. The broad-spectrum activity of AMPs is crucial to defend against infections caused by pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. The emergence of multi-drug resistant pathogenic bacteria is of global concern for public health. The prospects of targeting antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria with AMPs are of high significance for developing new generations of antimicrobial agents. The 37-residue long LL37, the only cathelicidin family of AMP in humans, has been the major focus for the past few decades of research. The host defense activity of LL37 is likely underscored by its expression throughout the body, spanning from the epithelial cells of various organs-testis, skin, respiratory tract, and gastrointestinal tract-to immune cells. Remarkably, apart from canonical direct killing of pathogenic organisms, LL37 exerts several other host defense activities, including inflammatory response modulation, chemo-attraction, and wound healing and closure at the infected sites. In addition, LL37 and its derived peptides are bestowed with anti-cancer and anti-amyloidogenic properties. In this review article, we aim to develop integrative, mechanistic insight into LL37 and its derived peptides, based on the known biophysical, structural, and functional studies in recent years. We believe that this review will pave the way for future research on the structures, biochemical and biophysical properties, and design of novel LL37-based molecules."

(2) Methods: All first-time liver transplant recipients, >18 years old, attending outpatient care between January 2018 and December 2021 were included. The referral rates and incidence of skin cancer/preneoplastic lesions were calculated. Risk factors were assessed using Cox regression analyses. (3) Results: Of the 246 included recipients, 219 (89.0%) were referred to screening, and 102 skin cancer/preneoplastic lesions were diagnosed in 32 (15.6%) recipients.

+6544,skin cancer,38539454,Improving Skin Lesion Segmentation with Self-Training.,"Skin lesion segmentation plays a key role in the diagnosis of skin cancer; it can be a component in both traditional algorithms and end-to-end approaches. The quality of segmentation directly impacts the accuracy of classification; however, attaining optimal segmentation necessitates a substantial amount of labeled data. Semi-supervised learning allows for employing unlabeled data to enhance the results of the machine learning model. In the case of medical image segmentation, acquiring detailed annotation is time-consuming and costly and requires skilled individuals so the utilization of unlabeled data allows for a significant mitigation of manual segmentation efforts. This study proposes a novel approach to semi-supervised skin lesion segmentation using self-training with a Noisy Student. This approach allows for utilizing large amounts of available unlabeled images. It consists of four steps-first, training the teacher model on labeled data only, then generating pseudo-labels with the teacher model, training the student model on both labeled and pseudo-labeled data, and lastly, training the student* model on pseudo-labels generated with the student model. In this work, we implemented DeepLabV3 architecture as both teacher and student models. As a final result, we achieved a mIoU of 88.0% on the ISIC 2018 dataset and a mIoU of 87.54% on the PH2 dataset. The evaluation of the proposed approach shows that Noisy Student training improves the segmentation performance of neural networks in a skin lesion segmentation task while using only small amounts of labeled data."

Survival analysis and prediction of cancer patients is of great significance for their precision medicine. The robustness and interpretability of the survival prediction models are important, where robustness tells whether a model has learned the knowledge, and interpretability means if a model can show human what it has learned. In this paper, we propose a robust and interpretable model SurvConvMixer, which uses pathways customized gene expression images and ConvMixer for cancer short-term, mid-term and long-term overall survival prediction. With ConvMixer, the representation of each pathway can be learned respectively. We show the robustness of our model by testing the trained model on absolutely untrained external datasets. The interpretability of SurvConvMixer depends on gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-Cam), by which we can obtain the pathway-level activation heat map. Then wilcoxon rank-sum tests are conducted to obtain the statistically significant pathways, thereby revealing which pathways the model focuses on more. SurvConvMixer achieves remarkable performance on the short-term, mid-term and long-term overall survival of lung adenocarcinoma, lung squamous cell carcinoma and skin cutaneous melanoma, and the external validation tests show that SurvConvMixer can generalize to external datasets so that it is robust. Finally, we investigate the activation maps generated by Grad-Cam, after wilcoxon rank-sum test and Kaplan-Meier estimation, we find that some survival-related pathways play important role in SurvConvMixer."

Nevertheless, current NIGM techniques do not measure glucose concentrations in blood but rely on indirect bulk measurement of glucose in interstitial fluid, where glucose is diluted and glucose dynamics are different from those in the blood, which impairs NIGM accuracy. Here we introduce a new biosensor, termed depth-gated mid-infrared optoacoustic sensor (DIROS), which allows, for the first time, non-invasive glucose detection in blood-rich volumes in the skin. DIROS minimizes interference caused by the stratum corneum and other superficial skin layers by time-gating mid-infrared optoacoustic signals to enable depth-selective localization of glucose readings in skin. In measurements on the ears of (female) mice, DIROS displays improved accuracy over bulk-tissue glucose measurements. Our work demonstrates how signal localization can improve NIGM accuracy and positions DIROS as a holistic approach, with high translational potential, that addresses a key limitation of current NIGM methods."

The dynamic and complex interplay between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment has gained significant attention, revealing Melanoma-Associated Fibroblasts (MAFs) as central players in disease progression. The heterogeneity of MAFs endows them with a dual role in melanoma. This exhaustive review seeks to not only shed light on the multifaceted roles of MAFs in orchestrating tumor-promoting inflammation but also to explore their involvement in antitumor immunity.

+6549,skin cancer,38538455,Epidemiology of Cancer in Kidney Transplant Recipients.,"Kidney transplantation is the ideal treatment modality for patients with end-stage kidney disease, with excellent outcomes post-transplant compared with dialysis. However, kidney transplant recipients are at increased risk of infections and cancer because of the need for immunosuppression. Kidney transplant recipients have approximately two to three times greater risk of developing cancer than the general population, and cancer is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality. Most of the increased risk is driven by viral-mediated cancers such as post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder, anogenital cancers, and Kaposi sarcoma. Nonmelanoma skin cancer is the most frequent type of cancer in kidney transplant recipients, likely due to an interaction between ultraviolet radiation exposure and decreased immune surveillance. Occurrence of the more common types of solid organ cancers seen in the general population, such as breast, prostate, lung, and colorectal cancers, is not, or is only mildly, increased post-transplant. Clinical care and future research should focus on prevention and on improving outcomes for important immunosuppression-related malignancies, and treatment options for other cancers occurring in the transplant setting."

Here, we report two important physiological functions of carotenoids without hydroxyl groups (α-carotene, β-carotene, γ-carotene, ξ-carotene, lycopene, phytoene, phytofluene and their isomers) in the stratum corneum (SC) of glabrous skin: The powerful antioxidant protection of the integrity of the SC components against the destructive action of free radicals and maintaining the skin barrier function by the creation of an orthorhombic organization of intercellular lipids within lamellae using carotenoids as a skeleton. The dual protective role of carotenoids without hydroxyl groups is important for both healthy skin and, in the authors' opinion, for the skin of chemotherapy-treated patients against the development of PPE, as the chemotherapy-induced reduction of the carotenoid concentration in the stratum corneum considerably weakens the skin resistance to cytotoxic and other adverse reactions."

Since the main reason for the failure of current therapeutic approaches against melanoma is metastasis, there is a great interest in introducing effective natural agents to combat melanoma cell migration and invasion. Auraptene (AUR) is the most abundant coumarin derivative in nature with valuable pharmaceutical effects. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether AUR could induce inhibitory effects on the migration and invasion of melanoma cells. B16F10 melanoma cells were treated with different concentrations of AUR and the viability of cells was evaluated by alamarBlue assay. Then, cells were treated with 20 μM AUR, and wound healing, invasion, and adhesion assays were carried out. In addition, the activity of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 was assessed by gelatin zymography and the expression of genes related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was investigated by qPCR. Finally, the interactions between AUR and MMPs were stimulated by molecular docking. Findings revealed that AUR significantly reduced the migration and invasion of B16F10 cells while improved their adhesion. Furthermore, results of gelatin zymography indicated that AUR suppressed the activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9, and qPCR revealed negative regulatory effect of AUR on the expression of mesenchymal markers including fibronectin and N-cadherin. In addition, molecular docking verified the interactions between AUR and the active sites of wild-type and mutant MMP-2 and MMP-9. Accordingly, AUR could be considered as a potential natural agent with inhibitory effects on the migration and invasion of melanoma cells for future preclinical studies."

Although deep neural networks have been primarily used for these prediction models, it is difficult to interpret the models reported thus far as accurately representing the interactions between biomolecules. In this study, we propose the GraphMHC model, which utilizes a graph neural network model applied to molecular structure to simulate the binding between MHC proteins and peptide sequences. Amino acid sequences sourced from the immune epitope database (IEDB) undergo conversion into molecular structures. Subsequently, atomic intrinsic informations and inter-atomic connections are extracted and structured as a graph representation. Stacked graph attention and convolution layers comprise the GraphMHC network which classifies bindings. The prediction results from the test set using the GraphMHC model showed a high performance with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 92.2% (91.9-92.5%), surpassing a baseline model. Moreover, by applying the GraphMHC model to melanoma patient data from The Cancer Genome Atlas project, we found a borderline difference (0.061) in overall survival and a significant difference in stromal score between the high and low neoantigen load groups.

Despite all efforts, the etiology of this disease remains unknown. Infectious agents have long been suspected as factors or co-factors in CTCL pathogenesis. This review deals with the panel of bacterial and viral pathogens that have been investigated so far in an attempt to establish a potential link between infection/carriage and CTCL development. A special focus is given to a recently discovered human protoparvovirus, namely the cutavirus (CutaV), which has emerged as a plausible CTCL etiological agent. Available evidence in support of this hypothesis as well as alternative interpretations and uncertainties raised by some conflicting data are discussed. The complexity and multifacetedness of the "

+6569,skin cancer,38535056,An Improved Skin Lesion Classification Using a Hybrid Approach with Active Contour Snake Model and Lightweight Attention-Guided Capsule Networks.,"Skin cancer is a prevalent type of malignancy on a global scale, and the early and accurate diagnosis of this condition is of utmost importance for the survival of patients. The clinical assessment of cutaneous lesions is a crucial aspect of medical practice, although it encounters several obstacles, such as prolonged waiting time and misinterpretation. The intricate nature of skin lesions, coupled with variations in appearance and texture, presents substantial barriers to accurate classification. As such, skilled clinicians often struggle to differentiate benign moles from early malignant tumors in skin images. Although deep learning-based approaches such as convolution neural networks have made significant improvements, their stability and generalization continue to experience difficulties, and their performance in accurately delineating lesion borders, capturing refined spatial connections among features, and using contextual information for classification is suboptimal. To address these limitations, we propose a novel approach for skin lesion classification that combines snake models of active contour (AC) segmentation, ResNet50 for feature extraction, and a capsule network with a fusion of lightweight attention mechanisms to attain the different feature channels and spatial regions within feature maps, enhance the feature discrimination, and improve accuracy. We employed the stochastic gradient descent (SGD) optimization algorithm to optimize the model's parameters. The proposed model is implemented on publicly available datasets, namely, HAM10000 and ISIC 2020. The experimental results showed that the proposed model achieved an accuracy of 98% and AUC-ROC of 97.3%, showcasing substantial potential in terms of effective model generalization compared to existing state-of-the-art (SOTA) approaches. These results highlight the potential for our approach to reshape automated dermatological diagnosis and provide a helpful tool for medical practitioners."

Only about 25-30% of patients have a matched sibling donor, and finding an unrelated donor in ethnic minorities is a challenge. The use of related haploidentical donor transplants in severe aplastic anemia is uncommon. We would like to report our experience with the first four patients who underwent haploidentical transplants for severe aplastic anemia. This is a retrospective study. We collected data from our transplant database of all haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplants for SAA from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2021. The transplant protocol used was the Hopkins' protocol. There were three patients who underwent haploidentical transplants as primary therapy for SAA. A fourth patient received a haploidentical transplant after immunosuppressive therapy failure. The median age of the patients at transplant was 24 y (range 20-29). All patients were engrafted. Neutrophil engraftment occurred at a median of 21 days (range 17-22). Any active infections resolved with the recovery of blood counts. The median hospitalization time was 27 days (range 22-41). Only one patient had grade 2 acute GVHD involving the skin. There was no chronic GVHD. All patients had complete lymphoid and myeloid donor chimerism on day 60. Based on our experience and the emerging literature, haplo-identical transplantation should be considered for select young patients with SAA who have low chances of responding to immunosuppressive therapy."

Its presence in the body is primarily limited to the skin, ovaries, kidney, testes, and digestive tract epithelium. The body maintains calcium homeostasis using the TRPV6 channel, which has a greater calcium selectivity than the other TRP channels. Several pieces of evidence suggest that it is upregulated in the advanced stages of thyroid, ovarian, breast, colon, and prostate cancers. The function of TRPV6 in regulating calcium signaling in cancer will be covered in this review, along with its potential applications as a cancer treatment target."
+6574,skin cancer,38534347,Vitamin D in Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma.,"Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is characterized by the proliferation of malignant T cells in inflamed skin lesions. Mycosis fungoides (MF)-the most common variant of CTCL-often presents with skin lesions around the abdomen and buttocks (""bathing suit"" distribution), i.e., in skin areas devoid of sun-induced vitamin D. For decades, sunlight and vitamin D have been connected to CTCL. Thus, vitamin D induces apoptosis and inhibits the expression of cytokines in malignant T cells. Furthermore, CTCL patients often display vitamin D deficiency, whereas phototherapy induces vitamin D and has beneficial effects in CTCL, suggesting that light and vitamin D have beneficial/protective effects in CTCL. Inversely, vitamin D promotes T helper 2 (Th2) cell specific cytokine production, regulatory T cells, tolerogenic dendritic cells, as well as the expression of immune checkpoint molecules, all of which may have disease-promoting effects by stimulating malignant T-cell proliferation and inhibiting anticancer immunity. Studies on vitamin D treatment in CTCL patients showed conflicting results. Some studies found positive effects, others negative effects, while the largest study showed no apparent clinical effect. Taken together, vitamin D may have both pro- and anticancer effects in CTCL. The balance between the opposing effects of vitamin D in CTCL is likely influenced by treatment and may change during the disease course. Therefore, it remains to be discovered whether and how the effect of vitamin D can be tilted toward an anticancer response in CTCL."

Because of its extremely rare histological presentation, there are few case reports that highlight its cytological findings. In this case report, the cytomorphological features of a sebaceous carcinoma of the breast are described in detail. Cytomorphological analysis revealed atypical cells presenting predominantly as loose clusters. No tubular or papillary structures were evident in the clusters and no mucin production was observed. The diagnosis of sebaceous carcinoma of the breast requires prominent sebaceous differentiation of cells. In Papanicolaou-stained smears, the differentiated tumor cells were found within the yellowish clusters. When these yellowish clusters were observed at high magnification and shifted out of focus, the sebaceous differentiation of tumor cells could be recognized. This finding is an advantage of observing Papanicolaou-stained specimens. Like previous reports, some individual cells showing sebaceous differentiation were also observed. In cases where many yellowish clusters appear, close observation of the interior of the clusters can confirm the presence of sebaceous differentiation of tumor cells and serve as a diagnostic clue for the cytological diagnosis of sebaceous carcinoma of the breast."

The goal of this systematic review was to analyze the methods and prognostic relevance of histologically measuring mitotic activity that have been reported for canine tumors in the literature. A total of 137 articles that correlated the mitotic activity in canine tumors with patient outcome were identified through a systematic (PubMed and Scopus) and nonsystematic (Google Scholar) literature search and eligibility screening process. Mitotic activity methods encompassed the mitotic count (MC, number of mitotic figures per tumor area) in 126 studies, presumably the MC (method not specified) in 6 studies, and the mitotic index (MI, number of mitotic figures per number of tumor cells) in 5 studies.

Immunotherapies currently licensed for clinical use target the adaptive immune system, focussing on Tcell interactions and functions. However, the most prevalent immune cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME) of melanoma are macrophages, a diverse immune cell subset displaying high plasticity, to which no current therapies are yet directly targeted. Macrophages have been shown not only to activate the adaptive immune response, and enhance cancer cell killing, but, when influenced by factors within the TME of melanoma, these cells also promote melanoma tumorigenesis and metastasis."

LyP featuring gamma-delta (γδ) T-cell receptor expression may masquerade as and may be misdiagnosed as aggressive cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, particularly primary cutaneous γδ T-cell lymphoma (PCGDTL) or γδ mycosis fungoides. We performed a clinicopathologic analysis of the largest series of LyP featuring γδ T-cell expression. We identified 26 patients with a diagnosis of LyP with γδ T cells from our institutions, as well as through a comprehensive review of the literature, and characterized these cases. Most cases were treated with topical steroids or not treated at all. The majority of cases showed a CD4 - CD8 + phenotype and featured at least one cytotoxic marker. Histopathologic features included an intraepidermal or dermal infiltrate with large cells and frequent angiotropism. One case was initially misdiagnosed as PCGDTL, requiring further therapy. Our case series, the largest international cohort of γδ T cell predominant LyP cases, confirms marked clinicopathologic heterogeneity that may contribute to misdiagnosis, reasserting the need to identify classic clinical features, CD30 + T-cell components, and markers of cytotoxicity when dealing with this differential diagnosis. A limitation of this study includes somewhat limited follow-up, histologic, and immunophenotypic information for some cases."

While anti-tumor effects without graft rejection have been reported, studies have shown high rates of fatal graft rejection with immune checkpoint therapy. In this case report, we present an SOTR patient with life-threatening, acute hypoxic respiratory failure due to rapidly progressive metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma with lung and pleural involvement. Modification of their immunosuppressive regimen and treatment with front-line anti-PD-1 inhibitor, pembrolizumab, led to rapid clinical response with near complete resolution of metastatic pulmonary disease and no long-term evidence of graft rejection.

Although spontaneous regression is a phenomenon that greatly impacts treatment planning, we still cannot predict it. We previously reported on the prognostic impact of the presence or absence of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) and of Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) infection. To learn more about the spontaneous regression of MCC, detailed analyses were performed focusing on spontaneous regression cases. We collected 71 Japanese patients with MCC including 6 cases of spontaneous regression. Samples were analysed by immunostaining, spatial single-cell analysis using PhenoCycler, and RNA sequencing using the next-generation sequencer (NGS). All 6 cases of spontaneous regression were positive for MCPyV. TLS was positive in all 5 cases analysed. Spatial single-cell analyses revealed that PD-L1-positive tumour cells were in close proximity to CD20-positive B cell and CD3-, 4-positive T cells. Gene set enrichment analysis between MCPyV-positive and TLS-positive samples and other samples showed significantly high enrichment of ""B-cell-mediated immunity"" gene sets in the MCPyV-positive and TLS-positive groups. In conclusion, TLS may play an important role in the spontaneous regression of MCC."

This retrospective observational study results showed that rechallenging with RAFi(s) led to an overall response rate of 18.1% [PR in thyroid (1 anaplastic; 3 papillary), 1 ovarian, 2 melanoma, 1 cholangiocarcinoma, and 1 anaplastic astrocytoma]. The clinical benefit rate was 54.5%; more than 30% of patients had durable responses with PR and SD lasting > 6 months. The median progression-free survival on therapy with second RAF inhibitor in the rechallenge setting either as monotherapy or combination was shorter at 2.7 months (0.9-30.1 m) compared to 8.6 months (6.5-11.5 m) with RAF-1i. However, the median PFS with RAF-2i responders (PFS-2) improved at 12.8 months compared to 11.4 months with RAF-1i responders.

Previously identified links between PG and cancer have included hematological malignancies, solid-organ tumors such as gastric adenocarcinoma, and breast cancer. While specific histologic subtypes of breast cancer such as ductal carcinoma have been associated with PG of the extremities, the literature is limited on the association between PG and cutaneous metastatic lobular carcinoma. CASE REPORT We describe the case of an 84-year-old woman with recurrent cutaneous metastatic lobular carcinoma of the left anterior chest with concurrent pyoderma gangrenosum on her bilateral lower extremities. The patient was initially diagnosed with lobular carcinoma of the breast and underwent a left breast mastectomy and was in remission. One year later, she developed 2 lower-extremity ulcerations, which at the time were attributed to an injury and underlying venous stasis. She was referred to a wound care clinic, where the lesions worsened with surgical debridement. Six years later, she presented to the dermatology clinic with a rash on her chest wall and worsening of the ulcerations on her ankles bilaterally. Biopsies revealed lobular carcinoma metastatic to the skin of her anterior chest wall and histopathology consistent with pyoderma gangrenosum on her ankles.

We critically examine the significant advancements in developing these nanocarriers, with a focus on their unique properties such as biocompatibility, targeted drug release, and enhanced skin permeability. These attributes are instrumental in addressing the limitations inherent in traditional skin cancer treatments and represent a paradigm shift towards more effective and patient-friendly therapeutic approaches. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges faced in optimizing the synthesis process for large-scale production while ensuring environmental sustainability. The review also emphasizes the immense potential for clinical applications of these nanocarriers in skin cancer therapy, highlighting their role in facilitating targeted, controlled drug release which minimizes systemic side effects. Future clinical applications could see these nanocarriers being customized to individual patient profiles, potentially revolutionizing personalized medicine in oncology. With further research and clinical trials, these nanocarriers hold the promise of transforming the landscape of skin cancer treatment. With this study, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research in this field and outline future directions for advancing the development and clinical application of these innovative nanocarriers."

To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab in Japanese patients with advanced melanoma in KEYNOTE-041. The current analysis reports results of additional follow-up of approximately 12 months since the initial analysis. Eligible patients had locally advanced (unresectable stage III) or metastatic (stage IV) melanoma not amenable to local therapy and had received two or fewer prior systemic therapies. Pembrolizumab 2 mg/kg was given every 3 weeks for up to 2 years or until confirmed progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary end points included safety, tolerability, and overall response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 by independent central review. The data cutoff for this analysis was August 30, 2017. Forty-two patients were followed up for a median of 22.3 months (range, 2.63-30.82 months). The ORR was 24.3% (nine of 37 evaluable patients [95% confidence interval (CI), 11.8%-41.2%]). Two patients with partial response at the time of the initial analysis achieved complete response. The median overall survival (OS) was 25.1 months (95% CI, 13.1-not reached] and the 30-month OS rate was 46.3% (95% CI, 29.8%-61.3%). The median duration of response was not reached. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were reported in 78.6% of patients; the incidence of grade 3 to 5 TRAEs was 23.8%. No additional treatment-related deaths occurred since the initial analysis. Pembrolizumab provided durable antitumor activity and an acceptable safety profile in Japanese patients with advanced melanoma."

+6617,skin cancer,38529282,Immune pathogenesis of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis: from etiology toward therapeutic approaches.,"Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a noncancerous, chronic inflammatory disorder of breast with unknown causes, posing significant challenges to the quality of life due to its high refractoriness and local aggressiveness. The typical symptoms of this disease involve skin redness, a firm and tender breast mass and mastalgia; others may include swelling, fistula, abscess (often without fever), nipple retraction, and peau d'orange appearance. IGM often mimics breast abscesses or malignancies, particularly inflammatory breast cancer, and is characterized by absent standardized treatment options, inconsistent patient response and unknown mechanism. Definite diagnosis of this disease relies on core needle biopsy and histopathological examination. The prevailing etiological theory suggests that IGM is an autoimmune disease, as some patients respond well to steroid treatment. Additionally, the presence of concurrent erythema nodosum or other autoimmune conditions supports the autoimmune nature of the disease. Based on current knowledge, this review aims to elucidate the autoimmune-favored features of IGM and explore its potential etiologies. Furthermore, we discuss the immune-mediated pathogenesis of IGM using existing research and propose immunotherapeutic strategies for managing this condition."
+6618,skin cancer,38528848,The PUG Flap: Conjoined Profunda Artery Perforator and Upper Gracilis Flap for Breast Reconstruction.,"Abdominal-based free flaps are the mainstay of autologous breast reconstruction; however, the region may not be ideal for patients with inadequate soft tissue or history of abdominal surgery. This case describes the use of a novel conjoined flap based on the profunda artery perforator and upper gracilis pedicles, named the perforator and upper gracilis (PUG) flap. This flap design aims to maximize medial thigh flap volume while ensuring robust tissue perforation. Here, we present our experience with the PUG flap in a breast cancer patient undergoing autologous reconstruction. The patient was a 41-year-old woman seeking nipple-sparing mastectomy and immediate autologous reconstruction with the PUG flap due to limited abdominal tissue availability. The gracilis and profunda artery perforator flaps were elevated using one boomerang-style skin paddle. Once harvested, the flaps were inset with antegrade and retrograde flow off the internal mammary arteries and both respective internal mammary veins. The donor site was closed in a V-Y pattern resulting in a thigh lift-type lift and concealed scar. In conclusion, the boomerang-style PUG flap maximizes medial thigh free tissue transfer volume, offers internal blood flow redundancy, and maintains good cosmesis of the donor site."
+6619,skin cancer,38528734,Pulmonary metastasectomy after immune checkpoint inhibitors in malignant melanoma.,"The management of malignant melanoma with pulmonary metastases is controversial and occasionally requires multimodality management, including pulmonary metastasectomy after immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, limited data are available on these patients. We described a case series of three consecutive patients who underwent pulmonary metastasectomy after ICIs for malignant melanoma and discussed the important characteristics of these patients. After pulmonary metastasectomy, none of the patients had recurrent pulmonary metastases, although extrapulmonary metastases were developed. Our case series suggests that pulmonary metastasectomy after ICIs may control pulmonary metastases in carefully selected patients with malignant melanoma."
+6620,skin cancer,38528631,Head and neck cancer of unknown primary: unveiling primary tumor sites through machine learning on DNA methylation profiles.,"The unknown tissue of origin in head and neck cancer of unknown primary (hnCUP) leads to invasive diagnostic procedures and unspecific and potentially inefficient treatment options for patients. The most common histologic subtype, squamous cell carcinoma, can stem from various tumor primary sites, including the oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx, head and neck skin, lungs, and esophagus. DNA methylation profiles are highly tissue-specific and have been successfully used to classify tissue origin. We therefore developed a support vector machine (SVM) classifier trained with publicly available DNA methylation profiles of commonly cervically metastasizing squamous cell carcinomas (n = 1103) in order to identify the primary tissue of origin of our own cohort of squamous cell hnCUP patient's samples (n = 28).

In the skin, it is associated with systemic sclerosis and scarring with considerable health burden. Ketotifen is a clinical antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer. Studies have demonstrated mast cell-dependent anti-fibrotic effects of ketotifen but direct effects on fibroblasts have not been determined. Human dermal fibroblasts were treated with pro-fibrotic transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFβ) followed by ketotifen or control treatments to determine direct effects on fibrotic fibroblasts. Ketotifen impaired TGFβ-induced α-smooth muscle actin gene and protein responses and decreased cytoskeletal- and contractility-associated gene responses associated with fibrosis. Ketotifen reduced Yes-associated protein phosphorylation, transcriptional coactivator with PDZ binding motif transcript and protein levels, and phosphorylation of protein kinase B. In a fibroblast-populated collagen gel contraction assay, ketotifen reduced the contractile activity of TGFβ-activated fibroblasts. In a murine model of bleomycin-induced skin fibrosis, collagen density and dermal thickness were significantly decreased in ketotifen-treated mice supporting in vitro findings. These results support a novel, direct anti-fibrotic activity of ketotifen, reducing pro-fibrotic phenotypic changes in fibroblasts and reducing collagen fibres in fibrotic mouse skin. Together, these findings suggest novel therapeutic potential and a novel mechanism of action for ketotifen in the context of fibrosis."

+6626,skin cancer,38528037,Comparative response to PDT with methyl-aminolevulinate and temoporfin in cutaneous and oral squamous cell carcinoma cells.,"Cutaneous and Head and Neck squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC, HNSCC) are among the most prevalent cancers. Both types of cancer can be treated with photodynamic therapy (PDT) by using the photosensitizer Temoporfin in HNSCC and the prodrug methyl-aminolevulinate (MAL) in CSCC. However, PDT is not always effective. Therefore, it is mandatory to correctly approach the therapy according to the characteristics of the tumour cells. For this reason, we have used cell lines of CSCC (A431 and SCC13) and HNSCC (HN5 and SCC9). The results obtained indicated that the better response to MAL-PDT was related to its localization in the plasma membrane (A431 and HN5 cells). However, with Temoporfin all cell lines showed lysosome localization, even the most sensitive ones (HN5). The expression of mesenchymal markers and migratory capacity was greater in HNSCC lines compared to CSCC, but no correlation with PDT response was observed. The translocation to the nucleus of β-catenin and GSK3β and the activation of NF-κβ is related to the poor response to PDT in the HNSCC lines. Therefore, we propose that intracellular localization of GSK3β could be a good marker of response to PDT in HNSCC. Although the molecular mechanism of response to PDT needs further elucidation, this work shows that the most MAL-resistant line of CSCC is more sensitive to Temoporfin."

AM is characterized by greater aggressiveness and lower survival rates. However, there are still fewer studies on immune mechanisms of AM especially subungual melanoma (SM) versus non-subungual melanoma (NSM). In order to explore tumor heterogeneity and immune microenvironment in different subtypes of AM, we applied single-cell RNA sequencing to 24,789 single cells isolated from the SM and plantar melanoma (PM) patients. Aspects of tumor heterogeneity, melanocytes from PM and SM had significant differences in gene expression, CNV and pathways in which tumor-associated such as NF-kb and Wnt were involved. Regarding the immune microenvironment, PM contained more fibroblasts and T/NK cells. The EPHA3-EFNA1 axis was expressed only in cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) and melanocytes of PM, and the TIGIT-NECTIN2 axis was expressed in both AM subtypes of T/NK cells and melanocytes. Altogether, our study helps to elucidate the tumor heterogeneity in AM subpopulations and provides potential therapeutic targets for clinical research."

Our retrospective study spans over a period of 28 years and analyzed uveal and conjunctival melanomas that were consecutively admitted, diagnosed, and treated in the 2nd Ophthalmology Clinic of Prof. Dr. Nicolae Oblu Emergency Clinical Hospital, Iaşi, Romania. The patients were selected from the records of the Department of Pathology of our Hospital, being diagnosed by standard histopathological techniques. The aim of this study was to summarize the epidemiological and pathological aspects of uveal and conjunctival melanomas in Northeastern region of Romania. In our study, we did not notice a predilection of uveal and conjunctival melanoma to one particular gender. The most common histological subtypes of ocular melanomas were the heavily pigmented spindle cell subtype, followed by the epithelioid subtype. Our patients sought medical help in a timely manner, before the systemic invasion of the disease could develop."

The mortality rates of CSCC approach those of renal and oropharyngeal carcinomas, as well as melanoma, with the increasing of the risk once metastases and perineural invasion occur. Both actinic keratosis (AK) and Bowen's disease (BD) are direct precursors with the potential for progression to CSCC. In this study, we analyzed the expression of Ki67, P16 and Beta-catenin in the precursor lesions of CSCC in relation to histological prognostic parameters, respectively between them, with the aim of identifying possible correlations with a role in prognosis. Ki67 and P16 presented higher scores in advanced precancerous lesions, such as keratinocyte intraepithelial neoplasia (KIN) III and BD and low scores in seborrheic keratosis (SK). The immunoreactivity to the investigated markers confirms the multistage skin carcinogenesis, and their involvement starting from the initiation phase of the cancer process. The importance of the studied markers in the evolution and prognosis of precancerous lesions of CSCC is also supported by the linear correlations revealed between the immunoexpressions of P16, Ki67 and the membranous immunoexpression of Beta-catenin in AK."

However, the ion yield during laser desorption/ablation is poor. Here, transmission atmospheric pressure laser desorption ionization combined with a compact postphotoionization (t-AP-LDI/PI) assembly with a krypton discharge lamp was developed for the untargeted imaging of various biomolecules. The spatial distributions of numerous lipid classes, fatty acids, neurotransmitters, and amino acids in the subregions of mouse cerebellum tissue were obtained. Compared with single laser ablation, the sensitivities for most analytes were increased by 1 to 3 orders of magnitude by dopant-assisted postphotoionization. After careful optimization, a spatial resolution of 4 μm could be achieved for the metabolites in mouse hippocampus tissue. Finally, the melanoma tissue slices were analyzed using t-AP-LDI/PI MSI, which revealed the metabolic heterogeneity of the melanoma microenvironment and exhibited the phenomenon of abnormal proliferation and invasion trends in tumor cells."

Conventional in vivo animal studies have shown limited translational relevance to humans, raising strength to pre-clinical models for melanoma research. This review provides an in-depth analysis of alternative pre-clinical models including in vitro and ex vivo platforms such as reconstructed skin, spheroids, organoids, organotypic models, skin-on-a-chip, and bioprinting. Through a comprehensive analysis, the specific attributes, advantages, and limitations of each model are elucidated. It discusses the points related to the uniqueness advantages, from capturing complex interactions between melanoma cells and their microenvironment to enabling high-throughput drug screening and personalized medicine approaches. This review is structured covering firstly the roadmap to identify the co-occurrence of discovering new melanoma treatments and the development of its models, secondly it covers a comparative between the most used models followed by a section discussing each of them: the in vitro and ex vivo models. It intends to serve as an asset for researchers of melanoma field and clinicians involved in melanoma therapy, offering insights into the diverse preclinical models available for optimizing their integration into the translational pipeline."

The Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency reported about 63% of the food contain pesticide residues. Glyphosate is a herbicide used worldwide but its toxicity is not a consensus among specialists around the world. AMPA (aminomethylphosphonic acid) is a glyphosate metabolite that can be more toxic than the parental molecule. Melanoma murine B16-F1 cells were exposed to glyphosate and AMPA to investigate the cell profile and possible induction to a more malignant phenotype. Glyphosate modulated the multi-drug resistance mechanisms by ABCB5 gene expression, decreasing cell attachment, increasing cell migration and inducing extracellular vesicles production, and the cells exposed to AMPA revealed potential damages to DNA. The present study observed that AMPA exhibits high cytotoxicity, which suggests a potential impact on non-tumor cells, which are, in general, more susceptible to chemical exposure. Conversely, glyphosate favored a more metastatic and chemoresistant behavior in cancer cells, highlighting the importance of additional research in this area."
+6638,skin cancer,38527346,Encephalocraniocutaneous Lipomatosis: A Case Report.,"Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL) is a rare congenital syndrome and subclassification of oculoectodermal syndrome. Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis may be associated with postzygotic mutations. However, absence of an identifiable mutation does not preclude a diagnosis of ECCL. Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis commonly causes skin, eye, and central nervous system anomalies. Diagnosis can be made through genetic sequencing or standardized clinical criteria. One clinically apparent major criterion for the diagnosis of ECCL is nevus psiloliparus (NP), a fatty nevus with overlying nonscarring alopecia. In this case, a 50-day-old female infant with uncomplicated birth history presented to dermatology clinic for evaluation of 2 superficial cranial masses that had been present since birth without regression or evolution. One of the masses was located within the hairline and demonstrated overlying nonscarring alopecia, suspicious of NP. Because of concern for ECCL, brain magnetic resonance imaging was ordered and revealed 2 intracranial lipomas. Genetic testing was inconclusive. Excision of the masses was performed at the request of the parents for cosmetic purposes. Histologic evaluation of the surgical specimens confirmed the diagnosis of NP and ECCL. A suspected NP should raise concern for ECCL and prompt further evaluation for systemic involvement. In particular, patients with suspected ECCL should be screened for ocular and CNS involvement. Early identification and diagnosis are important for prognostication because patients with ECCL are at increased risk of developing neoplasms of the head and neck and may require more frequent screening examinations."
+6639,skin cancer,38527267,Investigational Approaches for Treatment of Melanoma Patients Progressing After Standard of Care.,"The advent of effective immunotherapy, specifically cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 and programmed cell death 1 inhibitors, as well as targeted therapy including BRAF/MEK inhibitors, has dramatically changed the prognosis for metastatic melanoma patients. Up to 50% of patients may experience long-term survival currently. Despite these advances in melanoma treatment, many patients still progress and die of their disease. As such, there are many studies aimed at providing new treatment options for this population. Therapies currently under investigation include, but are not limited to, novel immunotherapies, targeted therapies, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and other cellular therapies, oncolytic viral therapy and other injectables, and fecal microbiota transplant. In this review, we discuss the emerging treatment options for metastatic melanoma patients who have progressed on standard of care treatments."
+6640,skin cancer,38527266,Is There a Current Role for Combination Chemotherapy or High-Dose Interleukin 2 in Melanoma?,"Immune checkpoint inhibition and targeted therapies have revolutionized the treatment of melanoma. However, chemotherapy and interleukin 2 (IL-2) therapy may still have a role in the later-line treatment of patients who do not have durable responses to other treatments. Chemotherapy can work transiently in patients whose disease has progressed on immune checkpoint inhibitors and for whom there are no appropriate targeted therapy options. High-dose IL-2 therapy can still be effective for a very small number of patients following progression on other therapies. In addition, modified IL-2 agents and IL-2 in combination with tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy may play a role in future treatments for melanoma."
+6641,skin cancer,38527265,Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocyte and Other Cell Therapies for Metastatic Melanoma.,"Major progress in prolonging survival of patients with advanced melanoma has been made in the past decade because of the development and approval of immune checkpoint inhibitor and targeted therapies. However, for nonresponding or relapsing patients, their prognosis is still dismal. Based on clinical trial data, treatment with adoptive cell therapies holds great promise. In patients with metastatic melanoma progressing on or nonresponsive to single-agent anti-programmed cell death 1, infusion of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes can produce responses in up to half of patients, with durable complete responses in up to 20%. Genetic modification of peripheral blood T cells with T-cell receptors derived from tumor-specific T cells, or with chimeric antigen receptors, has the potential to further improve treatment outcomes in this refractory population. In this review, we will discuss the historical development, current status, and future perspectives of adoptive T-cell therapies in melanoma."
+6642,skin cancer,38527264,Current Role and Status for Intratumoral Injection Therapies in Metastatic Melanoma.,"Intratumoral therapies represent a unique avenue for drug development in melanoma as patients often have accessible lesions that are particularly amenable to these approaches. In addition, a majority of intratumoral therapies have focused on stimulating antitumor immune responses, making them a particularly attractive option for use in melanoma. In this review, we describe applications for talimogene laherparepvec, a US Food and Drug Administration-approved intratumoral therapy in melanoma, as well as several classes of intratumoral therapies in development including novel oncolytic viruses, mRNA-based intratumoral injections, and cytokines and other signaling molecules."
+6643,skin cancer,38527263,Local and Systemic Management Options for Melanoma Brain Metastases.,"Development of brain metastasis is one of the most serious complications of advanced melanoma, carrying a significant burden of morbidity and mortality. Although advances in local treatment modalities such as stereotactic radiosurgery and breakthrough systemic therapies including immunotherapy and targeted therapies have improved the outcomes of patients with metastatic melanoma, management of patients with melanoma brain metastases (MBMs) remains challenging. Notably, patients with MBMs have historically been excluded from clinical trials, limiting insights into their specific treatment responses. Encouragingly, a growing body of evidence shows the potential of systemic therapies to yield durable intracranial responses in these patients, highlighting the need for inclusion of patients with MBMs in future clinical trials. This is pivotal for expediting the advancement of novel therapies tailored to this distinct patient population. In this review, we will highlight the evolving landscape of MBM management, focusing on local and systemic treatment strategies."
+6644,skin cancer,38527262,Updates in the Management of Uveal Melanoma.,"Uveal melanoma (UM), arising from intraocular melanocytes, poses a complex clinical challenge with a substantial risk of distant metastasis, often to the liver. Molecular profiling, encompassing genetic, cytogenetic, gene expression, and immunological subsets, plays a pivotal role in determining prognoses. The evolving landscape includes promising systemic treatments, such as tebentafusp, a novel immune-modulating bispecific fusion protein, and targeted therapies. Combined regional and systemic approaches, including immune checkpoint inhibitors and innovative liver-directed therapy, are also under investigation. Although recent progress has improved outcomes, ongoing research aims to address the unique challenges of UM and develop effective therapies, particularly for HLA-A*02:01-negative patients who represent a significant unmet medical need. This review comprehensively discusses the molecular characteristics of UM, risk stratification methods, and the current and future spectrum of regional and systemic therapeutic modalities."
+6645,skin cancer,38527261,What Is the Timing and Role of Targeted Therapy in Metastatic Melanoma?,"Melanoma is the most lethal cutaneous malignancy worldwide. The last 15 years have ushered in several regulatory approvals that have dramatically altered the landscape of treatment options for patients with melanoma. Many patients with melanoma harbor activating mutations in the BRAF proto-oncogene, a key component of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) intracellular signaling pathway. Therapies targeting BRAF have led to remarkable improvements in both response rates and survival in patients with metastatic disease. In parallel with these developments in MAPK-targeted therapy has been the clinical development of immune checkpoint inhibitors, which also have improved response rates and survival in patients with metastatic disease including randomized trials compared with MAPK-targeted therapy in patients with advanced, BRAF-mutant melanoma. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have become the preferred first-line standard-of-care treatment for patients with newly diagnosed metastatic disease in patients irrespective of BRAF mutational status. Given these developments, it is now less clear how to optimize the use of MAPK-targeted therapy regarding treatment setting and in sequence with immune checkpoint inhibitor."
+6646,skin cancer,38527260,Melanoma-Modern Treatment for Metastatic Melanoma.,"Traditional chemotherapy has been ineffective in the treatment of metastatic melanoma. Until the use of checkpoint inhibitors, patients had very limited survival. Since the original US Food and Drug Administration approval of ipilimumab over a decade ago, the armamentarium of immunotherapeutic agents has expanded to include programmed cell death protein 1 and lymphocyte activation gene 3 antibodies, requiring a nuanced approach to the selection of frontline treatments, managing patients through recurrence and progression, and determining length of therapy. Herein, we review the existing evidence supporting current standard immunotherapy regimens and discuss the clinical decision-making involved in treating patients with metastatic melanoma with checkpoint inhibitors."

These specific treatment populations were excluded from the original clinical trials, which studied immune checkpoint inhibitors and BRAF/MEK inhibitors in the advanced melanoma setting. We have synthesized the current body of literature, mainly case series and retrospective analyses, to reflect the evidence for the treatment of these special patient populations at present."
+6648,skin cancer,38527258,Treatment of Stage III Resectable Melanoma-Adjuvant and Neoadjuvant Approaches.,"Patients with stage III resectable melanoma carry a high risk of melanoma recurrence that ranges from approximately 40% to 90% at 5 years following surgical management alone. Postoperative systemic adjuvant therapy targets residual micrometastatic disease that could be the source of future recurrence and death from melanoma. Randomized phase III adjuvant trials reported significant improvements in overall survival with high-dose interferon α in 2 of 3 studies (compared with observation and GMK ganglioside vaccine) and with anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 ipilimumab at 10 mg/kg compared with placebo and ipilimumab 3 mg/kg compared with high-dose interferon α. In the modern era, more recent phase III trials demonstrated significant recurrence-free survival improvements with anti-programmed cell death protein 1, pembrolizumab, and BRAF-MEK inhibitor combination dabrafenib-trametinib (for BRAF mutant melanoma) versus placebo. Furthermore, anti-programmed cell death protein 1, nivolumab and pembrolizumab have both been shown to significantly improve recurrence-free survival as compared with ipilimumab 10 mg/kg. For melanoma patients with clinically or radiologically detectable locoregionally advanced disease, emerging data support an important role for preoperative systemic neoadjuvant therapy. Importantly, a recent cooperative group trial (S1801) reported superior event-free survival rates with neoadjuvant versus adjuvant therapy. Collectively, current data from neoadjuvant immunotherapy and targeted therapy trials support a future change in clinical practice in favor of neoadjuvant therapy for eligible melanoma patients."

+6651,skin cancer,38526171,Isoalantolactone exerts anti-melanoma effects via inhibiting PI3K/AKT/mTOR and STAT3 signaling in cell and mouse models.,"Although the anti-cancer activity of isoalantolactone (IATL) has been extensively studied, the anti-melanoma effects of IATL are still unknown. Here, we have investigated the anti-melanoma effects and mechanism of action of IATL. MTT and crystal violet staining assays were performed to detect the inhibitory effect of IATL on melanoma cell viability. Apoptosis and cell cycle arrest induced by IATL were examined using flow cytometry. The molecular mechanism of IATL was explored by Western blotting, confocal microscope analysis, molecular docking, and cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA). A B16F10 allograft mouse model was constructed to determine the anti-melanoma effects of IATL in vivo. The results showed that IATL exerted anti-melanoma effects in vitro and in vivo. IATL induced cytoprotective autophagy in melanoma cells by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling. Moreover, IATL inhibited STAT3 activation both in melanoma cells and allograft tumors not only by binding to the SH2 domain of STAT3 but also by suppressing the activity of its upstream kinase Src. These findings demonstrate that IATL exerts anti-melanoma effects via inhibiting the STAT3 and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways, and provides a pharmacological basis for developing IATL as a novel phytotherapeutic agent for treating melanoma clinically."

It has become evident that some BRAF -mutated melanocytic neoplasms can morphologically mimic Spitz tumors (STs). These have been termed BRAF mutated and morphologically spitzoid (BAMS). In this study, 17 experts from the International Melanoma Pathology Study Group assessed 54 cases which included 40 BAMS and 14 true STs. The participants reviewed the cases blinded to the genomic data and selected among several diagnostic options, including BAMS, ST, melanoma, and other. A total of 38% of all diagnostic selections in the BAMS cases were for BAMS, whereas 32% were for ST. In 22 of the BAMS cases, the favored diagnosis was BAMS, whereas in 17 of the BAMS cases, the favored diagnosis was ST. Among the 20 cases in the total group of 54 with the highest number of votes for ST, half were BAMS. Of BAMS, 75% had a number of votes for ST that was within the SD of votes for ST seen among true ST cases. There was poor interobserver agreement for the precise diagnosis of the BAMS (kappa = 0.16) but good agreement that these cases were not melanoma (kappa = 0.7). BAMS nevi/tumors can closely mimic Spitz neoplasms. Expert melanoma pathologists in this study favored a diagnosis of ST in nearly half of the BAMS cases. There are BAMS cases that even experts cannot morphologically distinguish from true Spitz neoplasms."

Herein, we report the case of a 48-year-old man in whom resection of a proliferating pilomatricoma with deposition of AA amyloid resulted in remission of concomitant AA gastrointestinal amyloidosis. A rapidly growing, giant, reddish, ulcerated tumor measuring 16 × 13 cm in size was identified on the upper left arm on a visit to our hospital. Gastrointestinal AA amyloidosis was diagnosed from colorectal mucosal biopsy at the same time, and weight loss and profuse diarrhea were clinically evident. As treatment, the tumor was resected with a 10-mm surgical margin. Histologically, the tumor predominantly comprised a lobular proliferation of basophilic cells peripherally, filled with eosinophilic, cornified material and shadow cells with mitoses observed in basophilic cells. Specimens revealed eosinophilic, homogeneous deposits around tumor nests, which were confirmed as amyloid deposits by positive staining with Congo red stain. These deposits were immunohistochemically positive on staining with anti-serum amyloid A antibody. Collectively, proliferating pilomatricoma with AA amyloidosis was diagnosed. After tumor resection, chronic diarrhea resolved and no amyloid deposition was apparent in colorectal biopsy. It is important to remember that if amyloid deposition is present in a tumor, aggressive tumor excision may alleviate systemic amyloidosis."

We report a case of cutaneous epithelioid angiosarcoma with numerous multinucleated giant cells (MGCs) developing pulmonary metastasis. A 79-year-old man presented with a red-purple plaque on the scalp. A skin biopsy revealed epithelioid cell proliferation, admixed with numerous MGCs, and background hemorrhage. Vascular spaces were focally present and lined by atypical endothelial cells, including MGCs. Immunohistochemically, tumor cells, including MGCs, were positive for CD31, D2-40, and ERG. The patient received radiation therapy and chemotherapy, after which a follow-up CT scan revealed symptomless pneumothorax and pulmonary metastases. The patient received palliative partial lung resection, and the specimen revealed histopathological and immunohistochemical features similar to the primary cutaneous lesion. Our report expands the morphologic spectrum of cutaneous epithelioid angiosarcoma. Cutaneous angiosarcoma is an aggressive neoplasm; thus, awareness of this rare manifestation is important."

Immune checkpoint inhibitors work by targeting the dysfunctional immune system, to enhance cancer-cell killing by CD8-positive T cells. Despite the beneficial effects of ICIs, these treatments are also linked to a novel class of side effects, termed immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Immune-related adverse events can affect multiple organ systems, such as endocrine, neurological, gastroenteric, dermatologic, ocular, hepatic, renal, and rheumatic ones. While variable in severity, irAEs can be associated with significant morbidity, mortality, cessation of ICI treatment and can be potentially life-threatening sometimes. Among varieties of irAEs, dermatological manifestations are frequently reported, since they can be easily observed. Here, we present a case of a 74-year-old patient with widespread fibrosis of skin, eventually diagnosed as diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis after the treatment with durvalumab for small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Prompt recognition and treatment of immune-checkpoint inhibitors-associated systemic sclerosis may help enhance tolerance to ICIs and ensure better performance in treating tumors."

Primary hepatic schwannomas are exceptionally rare, with 34 cases reported to date according to our review of the literature. This case report describes a 79-year-old man with a medical history of skin and thyroid cancer, who presented with no clinical symptoms and underwent a follow-up MRI due to an initial scan indicating a suspicious hepatic mass resembling an atypical hemangioma. The MRI revealed a 3.6 cm left hepatic mass concerning for an intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Histopathological and immunohistochemical studies of a biopsy of the liver mass confirmed the presence of a benign hepatic schwannoma. Further evaluation revealed multiple spinal schwannomas, leading to the diagnosis of schwannomatosis. The diagnosis of hepatic schwannomas poses challenges through imaging alone. This case underscores the importance of microscopic evaluation in accurately diagnosing hepatic masses. Additionally, the presence of concurrent schwannomas should be considered in patients initially diagnosed with isolated schwannomas."

The MNP can enter our body through inhalation, food or skin. The presence of microplastics (MP) in tap, bottled and deep sea water, as well as in sea salt, fruit and vegetables has been demonstrated. Due to their small size, MNP can be absorbed and easily distributed through the blood and lymphatic vessel system to tissues and organs. Recent studies have provided evidence of the accumulation of MNP in human lungs and even in the placenta. The accumulation of MNP in the body may have long-term effects and lead to health problems in humans, such as bronchitis, development of asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, inflammation and cancer. The information included in the article gives partial insight into how MNP may affect the human body. However, to fully assess the toxicity of MNP, comprehensive research is necessary, including standardization of MNP detection techniques and determination of the MNP content in food and water. It is also advisable to assess toxicokinetic parameters, as well as to determine the daily dose of exposure and interaction of MNP with various cells. Insufficient data on direct exposure to MNP in the work environment, as well as in other public places, constitutes a factor hindering the establishment of appropriate legal standards. In 2024, work on establishing the first act of EU law enabling the monitoring of MP in drinking water should be completed, which raises great hopes that in the future limit values for MNP in water and food and in workplaces will also be established.

Characteristic findings for IBC include rapid onset of breast edema, peau d'orange appearance, and involvement of the breast skin. Additionally, diagnosis is confirmed with a skin punch biopsy. With such nonspecific features, IBC can be mistaken for benign etiologies, causing delays in diagnosis and treatment. This patient is a 44-year-old woman presenting with left breast swelling while concurrently breastfeeding. Following antibiotic treatment but no symptom resolution, the patient was referred out for further follow-up. Despite multiple imaging studies, suggesting benign findings, clinical suspicion prompted continued evaluation and finally diagnosis of triple-negative inflammatory breast cancer with distant metastases.

+6669,skin cancer,38523200,A recombinant fungal photolyase autonomously enters human cell nuclei to fix UV-induced DNA lesions.,"Solar ultraviolet radiations induced DNA damages in human skin cells with cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) and (6-4) photoproducts (6-4PPs) as the most frequent lesions. CPDs are repaired much slower than 6-4PPs by the nucleotide excision repair pathway, which are thus the major lesions that interfere with key cellular processes and give rise to gene mutations, possibly resulting in skin cancer. In prokaryotes and multicellular eukaryotes other than placental mammals, CPDs can be rapidly repaired by CPD photolyases in one simple enzymatic reaction using the energy of blue light. In this study, we aim to construct recombinant CPD photolyases that can autonomously enter human cell nuclei to fix UV-induced CPDs. A fly cell penetration peptide and a viral nucleus localization signal peptide were recombined with a fungal CPD photolyase to construct a recombinant protein. This engineered CPD photolyase autonomously crosses cytoplasm and nuclear membrane of human cell nuclei, which then efficiently photo-repairs UV-induced CPD lesions in the genomic DNA. This further protects the cells by increasing SOD activity, and decreasing cellular ROSs, malondialdehyde and apoptosis."

These macules were accompanied by pruritus and were positive for Darier's sign. A skin biopsy of a brown macule on the left thigh revealed a dense accumulation of CD117-positive, round or oval cells with amphophilic cytoplasm within the upper to middle dermis. The patient was otherwise healthy and had normal laboratory and imaging test results. Sequence analysis of genomic DNA from a skin biopsy demonstrated the presence of an Asp419del mutation in exon 8 of the KIT gene. Based on these findings, maculopapular cutaneous mastocytosis (MPCM) was diagnosed. The patient received H 1-antihistamine. Although the pruritus resolved, the brown macules remained for one year after the initial treatment. To the best of our knowledge, only three cases of cutaneous mastocytosis (CM) with an Asp419del mutation, including the present case, have been reported in the Japanese literature to date; moreover, while the previous two cases were of DCM, the present case was the first instance of MPCM. Normally, the symptoms of childhood-onset MPCM are dormant until puberty. However, a recent study reported that many MPCM patients may experience persistent or exacerbated symptoms. The present study therefore evaluated 53 Japanese cases of childhood onset MPCM with a KIT gene mutation and discussed the patients' clinical outcomes."

PN is understudied compared with other inflammatory skin diseases, with the spatial organization of the cutaneous infiltrate in PN yet to be characterized. In this work, we employ spatial imaging mass cytometry to visualize PN lesional skin inflammation and architecture with single-cell resolution through an unbiased machine learning approach. PN lesional skin has increased expression of caspase 3, NF-kB, and phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 compared with healthy skin. Keratinocytes in lesional skin are subdivided into CD14+CD33+, CD11c+, CD63+, and caspase 3-positive innate subpopulations. CD14+ macrophage populations expressing phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 correlate positively with patient-reported itch (P = .006). Hierarchical clustering reveals a cluster of patients with PN with greater atopy, increased NF-kB+ signal transducer and activator of transcription 3-positive phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2-positive monocyte-derived myeloid dendritic cells, and increased vimentin expression (P < .05). Neighborhood analysis finds interactions between CD14+ macrophages, CD3+ T cells, monocyte-derived myeloid dendritic cells, and keratinocytes expressing innate immune markers. These findings highlight phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase-positive CD14+ macrophages as contributors to itch and suggest an epithelial-immune axis in PN pathogenesis."

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between NF2-SWN disease severity, health-related Quality of Life (QoL), and mental health aspects of patients. Standardised questionnaires assessing mental health problems (symptoms of depression, anxiety, and somatic burden), psychological factors (resilience, loneliness, and personality functioning), and health-related QoL were administered to 97 patients with NF2-SWN. The results of these questionnaires were compared with physician-rated disease severity. Questionnaires were completed by 77 patients. Physician-rated disease severity scores were available for 55 patients. NF2-SWN patients showed a high prevalence of clinically relevant symptoms of depression (30%), anxiety (16%), and somatic burden (32%). Almost all variables showed moderate to high correlations with NF2-SWN-related QoL. NF2-SWN-related QoL was associated with physician-reported disease severity (r = 0.614). In the stepwise hierarchical linear regression analysis, a significant model with four predictors (disease severity type, depression symptoms, personality functioning, and gender) explained 64% of the variance in NF2-SWN-related QoL.

We hypothesized that the greatest disruptions in diagnosis occurred in screen-detected cancers. We identified patients (≥18 years of age) with newly diagnosed cancer from 2019 to 2020 in the US National Cancer Database and calculated the change in proportion of early-stage to late-stage cancers using a weighted linear regression. Disruptions in early-stage diagnosis were greater than in late-stage diagnosis (17% vs 12.5%). Melanoma demonstrated the greatest relative decrease in early-stage vs late-stage diagnosis (22.9% vs 9.2%), whereas the decrease was similar for pancreatic cancer. Compared with breast cancer, cervical, melanoma, prostate, colorectal, and lung cancers showed the greatest disruptions in early-stage diagnosis. Uninsured patients experienced greater disruptions than privately insured patients. Disruptions in cancer diagnosis in 2020 had a larger impact on early-stage disease, particularly screen-detected cancers. Our study supports emerging evidence that primary care visits may play a critical role in early melanoma detection."
+6680,skin cancer,38521405,"Hypermethylation leads to the loss of HOXA5, resulting in JAG1 expression and NOTCH signaling contributing to kidney fibrosis.","Epigenetic regulations, including DNA methylation, are critical to the development and progression of kidney fibrosis, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we show that fibrosis of the mouse kidney was associated with the induction of DNA methyltransferases and increases in global DNA methylation and was alleviated by the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza). Genome-wide analysis demonstrated the hypermethylation of 94 genes in mouse unilateral ureteral obstruction kidneys, which was markedly reduced by 5-Aza. Among these genes, Hoxa5 was hypermethylated at its gene promoter, and this hypermethylation was associated with reduced HOXA5 expression in fibrotic mouse kidneys after ureteral obstruction or unilateral ischemia-reperfusion injury. 5-Aza prevented Hoxa5 hypermethylation, restored HOXA5 expression, and suppressed kidney fibrosis. Downregulation of HOXA5 was verified in human kidney biopsies from patients with chronic kidney disease and correlated with the increased kidney fibrosis and DNA methylation. Kidney fibrosis was aggravated by conditional knockout of Hoxa5 and alleviated by conditional knockin of Hoxa5 in kidney proximal tubules of mice. Mechanistically, we found that HOXA5 repressed Jag1 transcription by directly binding to its gene promoter, resulting in the suppression of JAG1-NOTCH signaling during kidney fibrosis. Thus, our results indicate that loss of HOXA5 via DNA methylation contributes to fibrogenesis in kidney diseases by inducing JAG1 and consequent activation of the NOTCH signaling pathway."

Alopecia is a common AE that is minimally invasive, but adversely affects mental health and reduces quality of life (QoL). Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) is a dose-limiting AE of DOXIL, a liposomal formulation of doxorubicin (DOX). Although it is not a life-threatening condition, HFS affects function and reduces QoL. TXB-001 is a new candidate polymer-conjugated anthracycline anti-cancer drug, and modified and optimized polymerized pirarubicin (THP), known as P-THP, is expected to have low toxicity and high efficacy. The anti-cancer effects of TXB-001 were examined using the 4T1 mouse model. An alopecia mouse model and HFS rat model were used to evaluate the alopecia- and HFS-inducing effects of TXB-001 and compare their severity with existing anthracycline anti-cancer drugs. A pharmacokinetic analysis of plasma as well as chest, palmar, and plantar skin samples after the single intravenous administration of DOXIL and TXB-001 to rats was also performed. The results obtained revealed that TXB-001 exerted similar anti-cancer effects to those of DOXIL in mice, weaker alopecia-inducing effects than DOX, DOXIL, and THP in mice, and no or markedly weaker HFS-like changes than DOXIL, which induced significant histopathological changes. The results of the pharmacokinetic analysis showed the accumulation of DOXIL, but not TXB-001, in skin, particularly palmar and plantar skin samples, and these differences were considered to contribute to their HFS-inducing effects."

B7 homolog 3 (B7-H3) belongs to the B7 family and is overexpressed in a number of malignant tumors, but the expression pattern of B7-H3 in melanoma has not been well summarized. The expression of B7-H3 was investigated in melanoma and its correlations with features of the tumor microenvironment (TME) by using various public databases, including the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), the GEPIA, and the Human Protein Atlas databases. In addition, the in-house melanoma tissue microarray was applied to validate the results from public databases. Based on the public and in-house cohorts, we found that B7-H3 was overexpressed in melanoma tumor tissues and high B7-H3 expression was related to poor clinical outcome. Moreover, B7-H3 was negatively correlated with levels of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and positively correlated with collagen infiltration. With clinical translational value, the predictive value of B7-H3 for conventional immunotherapy was detected using the Kaplan-Meier plotter tool, and the results showed that melanoma patients with high B7-H3 expression were insensitive to anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 immunotherapy. In conclusion, we first investigate the expression of B7-H3 in melanoma and its correlations with the TME features, and indicate B7-H3 as a promising therapeutic target in melanoma patients that are insensitive to conventional immunotherapy."

Molecularly targeted treatments and immunotherapies have been implemented and have, in many cancers, lowered the risk of relapse and prolonged survival. Patients with tumors harboring specific targetable molecular alterations or mutations are often of a younger age, and hence future fertility and family building can be important concerns in this group. However, there are great uncertainties regarding the effect of the new drugs on reproductive functions, including fertility, pregnancy and lactation and how young patients with cancers, both women and men should be advised. The goal with this review is to gather the current knowledge regarding oncofertility and the different novel therapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates, small molecules and monoclonal antibody targeted therapies.

Among them photothermal therapy (PTT) has drawn the most significant attention due to its noninvasiveness, remote control activation, and low side effects. However, a limited depth of light penetration of PTT is the main drawback. To improve the therapeutic efficiency, the development of combined PTT with other therapeutic agents is highly desirable.

Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the regulatory mechanisms underlying melanoma recurrence and metastasis. Our study has identified a potential targeted regulatory relationship between LINC02202, miR-526b-3p and XBP1 in malignant melanoma. Through the regulation of the miR-526b-3p/XBP1 signalling pathway, LINC02202 may play a role in tumour progression and immune infiltration and inhibiting the expression of LINC02202 can increase the efficacy of immunotherapy for melanoma. Our findings shed light on the impact of LINC02202/XBP1 on the phenotype and function of malignant melanoma cells. Furthermore, this study provides a theoretical foundation for the development of novel immunotherapy strategies for malignant melanoma."

Neoplasia is of increasing interest in managed aquarium populations. However, few studies have systematically evaluated neoplasia in managed fish populations. Our objective in this retrospective study was to review and describe neoplasia diagnosed in fish at a large public display aquarium between 2005 and 2021. Any fish diagnosed with neoplasia on either antemortem or postmortem evaluation during the study period was included, and all medical records, biopsy, and autopsy reports were reviewed.

Here, we describe the development of fine-needle aspiration biopsy-based (FNA) molecular cytology which will be increasingly important in diagnostics and adaptive treatment. We provide support for FNA-based molecular cytology having a significant potential to replace core needle biopsy (CNB) as a patient-friendly potent technique for tumor sampling for various tumor types. This is not only because CNB is a more traumatic procedure and may be associated with more complications compared to FNA-based sampling, but also due to the recently developed molecular methods used with FNA. Recent studies show that image-guided FNA in combination with ultrasensitive molecular methods also offers opportunities for characterization of the tumor microenvironment which can aid therapeutic decisions. Here we provide arguments for an increased implementation of molecular FNA-based sampling as a patient-friendly diagnostic method, which may, due to its repeatability, facilitate regular sampling that is needed during different treatment lines, to provide tumor information, supporting treatment decisions, shortening lead times in healthcare, and benefit healthcare economics."

Despite being the most frequently diagnosed pediatric leukemia, the lack of clonal molecular lesions and complete absence of appropriate experimental models have impeded the elucidation of HD-ALL leukemogenesis. Here, we report that for 23 leukemia samples isolated from moribund Eμ-Ret mice, all were characterized by non-random chromosomal gains, involving combinations of trisomy 9, 12, 14, 15, and 17. With a median gain of three chromosomes, leukemia emerged after a prolonged latency from a preleukemic B cell precursor cell population displaying more diverse aneuploidy. Transition from preleukemia to overt disease in Eμ-Ret mice is associated with acquisition of heterogeneous genomic abnormalities affecting the expression of genes implicated in pediatric B-ALL. The development of abnormal centrosomes in parallel with aneuploidy renders both preleukemic and leukemic cells sensitive to inhibitors of centrosome clustering, enabling targeted in vivo depletion of leukemia-propagating cells. This study reveals the Eμ-Ret mouse to be a novel tool for investigating HD-ALL leukemogenesis, including supervision and selection of preleukemic aneuploid clones by the immune system and identification of vulnerabilities that could be targeted to prevent relapse."
+6696,skin cancer,38519642,ZEB1 controls a lineage-specific transcriptional program essential for melanoma cell state transitions.,"Cell plasticity sustains intra-tumor heterogeneity and treatment resistance in melanoma. Deciphering the transcriptional mechanisms governing reversible phenotypic transitions between proliferative/differentiated and invasive/stem-like states is required. Expression of the ZEB1 transcription factor is frequently activated in melanoma, where it fosters adaptive resistance to targeted therapies. Here, we performed a genome-wide characterization of ZEB1 transcriptional targets, by combining ChIP-sequencing and RNA-sequencing, upon phenotype switching in melanoma models. We identified and validated ZEB1 binding peaks in the promoter of key lineage-specific genes crucial for melanoma cell identity. Mechanistically, ZEB1 negatively regulates SOX10-MITF dependent proliferative/melanocytic programs and positively regulates AP-1 driven invasive and stem-like programs. Comparative analyses with breast carcinoma cells revealed lineage-specific ZEB1 binding, leading to the design of a more reliable melanoma-specific ZEB1 regulon. We then developed single-cell spatial multiplexed analyses to characterize melanoma cell states intra-tumoral heterogeneity in human melanoma samples. Combined with scRNA-Seq analyses, our findings confirmed increased ZEB1 expression in Neural-Crest-like cells and mesenchymal cells, underscoring its significance in vivo in both populations. Overall, our results define ZEB1 as a major transcriptional regulator of cell states transitions and provide a better understanding of lineage-specific transcriptional programs sustaining intra-tumor heterogeneity in melanoma."

However, numerous PTAs still require high-intensity and long-duration laser irradiation to completely ablate the tumor during the photothermal therapy (PTT) process, resulting in light damage to healthy skin and tissue as well as limiting their biomedical applications. Integrating intense NIR absorption and high PCE into a single small-molecule PTA is an important prerequisite for realizing efficient PTT, but is a serious challenge. Herein, a series of donor-acceptor type PTAs (CC1 to NC4) are designed through a molecular engineering strategy. Theoretical calculations and experimental results show that the NIR absorption and photothermal effect from CC1 to NC4 are significantly enhanced as expected. Notably, NC4 nanoparticles exhibit intense NIR absorption, superhigh PCE of up to 88.9% for PTT, photoacoustic imaging and photothermal imaging, and effective reactive oxygen species generation for photodynamic therapy (PDT). The superior PTT/PDT synergistic phototherapeutic efficacy is well demonstrated by the complete elimination of tumor in vivo upon one-time, low-intensity, and short-duration laser irradiation (808 nm, 330 mW cm"

+6702,skin cancer,38519031,Dual-specificity kinase DYRK3 phosphorylates p62 at the Thr-269 residue and promotes melanoma progression.,"Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that originates in melanin-producing melanocytes. It is considered a multifactorial disease caused by both genetic and environmental factors, such as UV radiation. Dual-specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinase (DYRK) phosphorylates many substrates involved in signaling pathways, cell survival, cell cycle control, differentiation, and neuronal development. However, little is known about the cellular function of DYRK3, one of the five members of the DYRK family. Interestingly, it was observed that the expression of DYRK3, as well as p62 (a multifunctional signaling protein), is highly enhanced in most melanoma cell lines. This study aimed to investigate whether DYRK3 interacts with p62, and how this affects melanoma progression, particularly in melanoma cell lines. We found that DYRK3 directly phosphorylates p62 at the Ser-207 and Thr-269 residue. Phosphorylation at Thr-269 of p62 by DYRK3 increased the interaction of p62 with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), an already known activator of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) in the mTOR-involved signaling pathways. Moreover, the phosphorylation of p62 at Thr-269 promoted the activation of mTORC1. We also found that DYRK3-mediated phosphorylation of p62 at Thr-269 enhanced the growth of melanoma cell lines and melanoma progression. Conversely, DYRK3 knockdown or blockade of p62-T269 phosphorylation inhibited melanoma growth, colony formation, and cell migration. In conclusion, we demonstrated that DYRK3 phosphorylates p62, positively modulating the p62-TRAF6-mTORC1 pathway in melanoma cells. This finding suggests that DYRK3 suppression may be a novel therapy for preventing melanoma progression by regulating the mTORC1 pathway."

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis of barrier organs. AhR was initially discovered as a receptor for environmental chemical carcinogens such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Activation of AhR pathways by PAHs leads to increased DNA damage and mutations which ultimately lead to carcinogenesis. Ongoing evidence reveals an ever-expanding role of AhR. Recently, AhR has been linked to immune systems by the interaction with the development of natural killer (NK) cells, regulatory T (T"

+6705,skin cancer,38518732,Melanoma on congenital melanocytic nevi.,"Among nevus-associated melanomas, which overall account for 20%-30% of all melanomas, those arising specifically in congenital melanocytic nevi are infrequent, but can be disproportionately frequent in childhood and adolescence. Congenital melanocytic nevi (CMNi) are common benign melanocytic tumors that are present at birth or become apparent in early childhood. They are classified based on the projected adult size. Small and medium-sized CMNi are frequent, whereas large/giant CMNi (over 20 cm in diameter) are rare, but can be associated with high morbidity due to marked aesthetic impairment and the risk of neurocutaneous syndrome or melanoma development. In this setting, melanomas can appear in early childhood and are very aggressive, while the risk of small-medium CMNi of developing melanoma is low and similar to non-congenital melanocytic nevi. Histologically, most melanomas on CMNi initiate their growth at the epidermal-dermal junction, but in large/giant CMNi they can develop entirely in the dermis, in deeper tissues, or in extracutaneous sites (especially in the central nervous system). Most CMNi harbour an NRAS mutation, but other genes are rarely involved, and gene translocations have recently been described. However, no prognostic implications have been associated with the CMN genotype. Melanomas developed on CMNi harbour additional molecular alterations to which the aggressive clinical course of these tumors has been attributed. This review covers the distinctive clinical and pathological aspects of melanomas on CMNi, and includes the epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, clinical and dermoscopic presentation, histological and molecular characteristics, as well as tumour behaviour."

The mortality rate of severe influenza patients is often associated with hyperactive immunological abnormalities characterized by hypercytokinemia. Due to the continuous mutations and the occurrence of drug-resistant influenza virus strains, the development of host-directed immunoregulatory drugs is urgently required. Platycodon grandiflorum is among the top 10 herbs of traditional Chinese medicine used to treat pulmonary diseases. As one of the major terpenoid saponins extracted from Platycodon grandiflorum, Platycodin D (PD) has been reported to play several roles, including anti-inflammation, analgesia, anti-cancer, hepatoprotection, and immunoregulation. However, the therapeutic roles of PD to treat influenza virus infection remains unknown. Here, we show that PD can protect the body weight loss in severely infected influenza mice, alleviate lung damage, and thus improve the survival rate. More specifically, PD protects flu mice via decreasing the immune cell infiltration into lungs and downregulating the overactivated inflammatory response. Western blot and immunofluorescence assays exhibited that PD could inhibit the activation of TAK1/IKK/NF-κB and MAPK pathways. Besides that, CETSA, SPR and immunoprecipitation assays indicated that PD binds with TRAF6 to decrease its K63 ubiquitination after R837 stimulation. Additionally, siRNA interference experiments exhibited that PD could inhibit the secretion of IL-1β and TNF-α in TRAF6-dependent manner. Altogether, our results suggested that PD is a promising drug candidate for treating influenza. Our study also offered a scientific explanation for the commonly used Platycodon grandiflorum in many anti-epidemic classic formulas. Due to its host-directed regulatory role, PD may serve as an adjuvant therapeutic drug in conjunction with other antiviral drugs to treat the flu."

Cuproptosis is the most recently identified copper-dependent form of cell death that relies on mitochondrial respiration. The hippocampal (Hippo) pathway functions as a tumor suppressor by regulating Yes-associated protein/transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (YAP/TAZ) activity. However, its role in cuproptosis remains unknown. In addition, the correlation of cuproptosis-related genes and Hippo pathway-related genes with tumor prognosis warrants further investigation. In the present study, we explored the correlation of cuproptosis-related genes and Hippo pathway-related genes with the prognosis of melanoma through analysis of data from a public database and experimental verification. We found eight Hippo pathway-related genes that were downregulated in melanoma and exhibited predictive value for prognosis. There was a significant positive correlation between cuproptosis-related genes and Hippo pathway-related genes in skin cutaneous melanoma. YAP1 expression was positively correlated with ferredoxin 1 (FDX1) expression in the GSE68599 dataset and A2058 cells. Moreover, YAP1 was positively and negatively correlated with M2 macrophages and regulatory T cell infiltration, respectively. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated the prognostic value of Hippo pathway-related genes (particularly YAP1) in melanoma, revealing the correlation between the expression of Hippo pathway-related genes and immune infiltration. Thus, the present findings may provide new clues on the prognostic assessment of patients with melanoma and a new target for the immunotherapy of this disease."

+6721,skin cancer,38515433,Optimizing time prediction and error classification in early melanoma detection using a hybrid RCNN-LSTM model.,"Skin cancer is a terrifying disorder that affects all individuals. Due to the significant increase in the rate of melanoma skin cancer, early detection of skin cancer is now more critical than ever before. Malignant melanoma is one of the most serious forms of skin cancer, and it is caused by abnormal melanocyte cell growth. In recent years, skin cancer predictive categorization has become more accurate and predictive due to multiple deep learning algorithms. Malignant melanoma is diagnosed using the Recurrent Convolution Neural Network-Long Short-Term Memory (RCNN-LSTM), which is one of the deep learning classification approaches. Using the International Skin Image Collection and the RCNN-LSTM, the data are categorized and analyzed to gain a better understanding of skin cancer. The method begins with data preprocessing, which prepares the dataset for classification. Additionally, the RCNN is employed to extract the features that are vital to the prediction process. The LSTM is accountable for the final step, classification. There are further factors to examine, such as the precision of 94.60%, the sensitivity of 95.67%, and the F1-score of 95.13%. Other benefits of the suggested study include shorter prediction durations of 95.314, 122.530, and 131.205 s and lower model loss of 0.25%, 0.19%, and 0.15% for input sizes 10, 15, and 20, respectively. Three datasets had a reduced categorization error of 5.11% and an accuracy of 95.42%. In comparison to previous approaches, the work discussed here produces superior outcomes. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: Recurrent convolutional neural network (RCNN) deep learning approach for optimizing time prediction and error classification in early melanoma detection. It extracts a high number of specific features from the skin disease image, making the classification process easier and more accurate. To reduce classification errors in accurately detecting melanoma, context dependency is considered in this work. By accounting for context dependency, the deprivation state is avoided, preventing performance degradation in the model. To minimize melanoma detection model loss, a skin disease image augmentation or regularization process is performed in this work. This strategy improves the accuracy of the model when applied to fresh, previously unobserved data."

+6723,skin cancer,38515111,No detectable truncating mutations in large T antigen (LT-Ag) sequence of Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) DNA obtained from porocarcinomas.,"Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is associated with Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). In tumor cells the MCPyV large T antigen (LT-Ag) is frequently found truncated and this is considered a major tumor-specific signature. The role of MCPyV in other, non-MCC tumours, is little known. Viral DNA and/or tumour-specific mutations have been sometimes detected in different tumours, but such data are not unequivocal and the involvement of the virus in the tumorigenesis is not clear. In a previous study, we demonstrated a significantly higher prevalence of MCPyV DNA in formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) porocarcinoma tissues compared to the normal skin. In the present study, we investigated the presence of truncating mutations in MCPyV LT-Ag coding region in porocarcinoma specimens. Using several overlapped PCR primer pairs, the complete LT-Ag sequence from two biopsies were obtained. No truncating mutations were detected. The lack of truncating mutations in LT-Ag sequence does not seem to support the role of MCPyV in porocarcinoma oncogenesis. However, an oncogenetic mechanism, different from that proposed for MCC and not associated with the LT-Ag mutations/deletions, cannot be excluded. Further studies of more sequences coding for LT-Ag would be needed to verify this hypothesis."

Because UVR exposure accumulates over time and lighter skin is more susceptible to UVR, age and skin tone are risk factors for skin cancer. However, measurements of somatic mutations in healthy-appearing skin have not been used to calculate skin cancer risk. In this study, we developed a noninvasive test that quantifies somatic mutations in healthy-appearing sun-exposed skin and applied it to a 1038-subject cohort. Somatic mutations were combined with other known skin cancer risk factors to train a model to calculate risk. The final model (DNA-Skin Cancer Assessment of Risk) was trained to predict personal history of skin cancer from age, family history, skin tone, and mutation count.

Unlike histopathological examinations and biochemical analyses, optical diagnostic methods obviate the need for tissue sampling, enabling the analysis of virtually unlimited material. The research aims to examine the effectiveness of emission spectra analysis in the diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the scalp and neck. The analysis was based on data provided by Specialized Hospital No. 2 in Bytom comprising a study sample of 10 patients. For each patient, fluorescence emission spectra were recorded from each of 512 points along a 5 mm line. The results obtained from the histopathological examination, the analysis and morphological evaluation of the tissue, and the diagnosis through microscopic observation were used to define a dichotomous variable (presence or absence of a cancerous lesion), adopted in the study as the modeled variable. The next step of the presented study involved constructing a logistic regression model for identifying cancerous lesions depending on the biochemical indicator's relative fluorescence value (RFV) and emission wavelength (ELW) within the 620 nm to 730 nm range. This wavelength range is often used in fluorescence diagnostics to detect various pathologies, including cancerous lesions. The resulting binary logistic regression model, logit(p)=-33.17+0.04ELW+0.01RFV, indicates a statistically significant relationship between wavelength and relative fluorescence values with the probability of detecting cancer. The estimated model exhibits a good fit and high predictive accuracy. The overall model accuracy is 84.8 %, with the correct classification rates at approximately 96 % for healthy individuals and 74 % for individuals with cancer. These findings underscore the potential of photodynamic diagnostics in cancer detection and monitoring."

Thus, tumor cell-derived EVs can generate anti-tumor immunity in a prophylactic setting and may be potential candidates for cell-free tumor vaccines."

The pathogenesis of MF remains unclear, and prognostic factors in the early stages are not well established. Here, we characterized the most recurrent genomic alterations using whole-exome sequencing of 67 samples from 48 patients from Lille University Hospital (France), including 18 sequential samples drawn across stages of the malignancy. Genomic data were analyzed on the Broad Institute's Terra bioinformatics platform. We found that gain7q, gain10p15.1 (IL2RA and IL15RA), del10p11.22 (ZEB1), or mutations in JUNB and TET2 are associated with high-risk disease stages. Furthermore, gain7q, gain10p15.1 (IL2RA and IL15RA), del10p11.22 (ZEB1), and del6q16.3 (TNFAIP3) are coupled with shorter survival. Del6q16.3 (TNFAIP3) was a risk factor for progression in patients at low risk. By analyzing the clonal heterogeneity and the clonal evolution of the cohort, we defined different phylogenetic pathways of the disease with acquisition of JUNB, gain10p15.1 (IL2RA and IL15RA), or del12p13.1 (CDKN1B) at progression.

A potentially reliable and quantifiable criterion is melanocyte density (MD). Here, we evaluated whether and to what extent MD allows the distinction between LM and CSDS, which is particularly relevant for the evaluation of borderline cases and surgical margins.Articles assessing MD in LM and/or CSDS were evaluated in a systematic review. The results were categorized and compared according to staining. Cutoff values were included whenever stated.Twenty articles matched the selection criteria. Six hundred forty-four samples of CSDS and 227 samples of LM were considered. In each individual study, mean MD scores were higher for LM than for CSDS. However, looking at the overall study situation, it becomes clear that the data are very heterogeneous and show overlaps. Therefore, no reliable orientation value can be derived. Only 1 article defined a cutoff value.The data of MD in LM in contrast to CSDS were sparse, and a defined cutoff value was only mentioned in 1 article for microphthalmia-associated transcription factor, which cannot yet be generalized. Especially regarding the importance for the definition of surgical resection margins, this unsatisfactory data set highlights the need for further studies. More precise diagnostic criteria could spare some patients extensive and possibly disfiguring surgery."

Only 18 cases of this tumor have been reported in the literature to date. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical features of 14 patients with OCM. The most common clinical feature was longitudinal xanthopachyonychia (n = 9), followed by longitudinal leukopachyonychia (=3) and longitudinal pachymelanonychia (n = 2). The most common clinical findings identified following dermoscopy and analysis at high magnification of classical photographs were free-edge thickening of the nail plate without pitting (n = 14), longitudinal ridging (n = 7), round white clods (n = 7), white dots (n = 7), and filiform hemorrhages (n = 7), followed by oval and linear white clods (n = 5), fuzzy lateral border (n = 5), and red-purple blood clods (n = 3). Nail clipping histopathology showed a thickened nail plate with multiple, small, round-to-oval spaces. The tumor expressed immunopositivity for LEF-1. Dermoscopy of the nail plate and nail clipping histology provides useful information with regards to the differential diagnosis with subungual squamous cell carcinoma and nail melanoma. Ex vivo-in vivo correlation facilitates a better dermoscopic assessment of this unique underrecognized disease. However, the differential diagnosis between OCM and onychocytic carcinoma requires biopsy of the tumor. LEF-1 as an onychogenic marker can be used to resolve the differential diagnosis between OCM and subungual longitudinal acanthoma/seborrheic keratosis."
+6744,skin cancer,38512922,HDS-Net: Achieving fine-grained skin lesion segmentation using hybrid encoding and dynamic sparse attention.,"Skin cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide, and early detection is crucial for improving its cure rate. In the field of medical imaging, accurate segmentation of lesion areas within skin images is essential for precise diagnosis and effective treatment. Due to the capacity of deep learning models to conduct adaptive feature learning through end-to-end training, they have been widely applied in medical image segmentation tasks. However, challenges such as boundary ambiguity between normal skin and lesion areas, significant variations in the size and shape of lesion areas, and different types of lesions in different samples pose significant obstacles to skin lesion segmentation. Therefore, this study introduces a novel network model called HDS-Net (Hybrid Dynamic Sparse Network), aiming to address the challenges of boundary ambiguity and variations in lesion areas in skin image segmentation. Specifically, the proposed hybrid encoder can effectively extract local feature information and integrate it with global features. Additionally, a dynamic sparse attention mechanism is introduced, mitigating the impact of irrelevant redundancies on segmentation performance by precisely controlling the sparsity ratio. Experimental results on multiple public datasets demonstrate a significant improvement in Dice coefficients, reaching 0.914, 0.857, and 0.898, respectively."

Standard chemotherapy often results in severe side effects on normal (healthy) cells finally being difficult to tolerate for the patients. Shown by us earlier, cerium oxide nanoparticles (CNP, nanoceria) selectively killed A375 melanoma cells while not being cytotoxic at identical concentrations on non-cancerous cells. In conclusion, the redox-active CNP exhibited both prooxidative as well as antioxidative properties. In that context, CNP induced mitochondrial dysfunction in the studied melanoma cells via generation of reactive oxygene species (primarily hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)), but that does not account for 100% of the toxicity."
+6747,skin cancer,38512890,Analysis of dermoscopy images of multi-class for early detection of skin lesions by hybrid systems based on integrating features of CNN models.,"Skin cancer is one of the most fatal skin lesions, capable of leading to fatality if not detected in its early stages. The characteristics of skin lesions are similar in many of the early stages of skin lesions. The AI in categorizing diverse types of skin lesions significantly contributes to and helps dermatologists to preserve patients' lives. This study introduces a novel approach that capitalizes on the strengths of hybrid systems of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models to extract intricate features from dermoscopy images with Random Forest (Rf) and Feed Forward Neural Networks (FFNN) networks, leading to the development of hybrid systems that have superior capabilities early detection of all types of skin lesions. By integrating multiple CNN features, the proposed methods aim to improve the robustness and discriminatory capabilities of the AI system. The dermoscopy images were optimized for the ISIC2019 dataset. Then, the area of the lesions was segmented and isolated from the rest of the image by a Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) algorithm. The first strategy for dermoscopy image analysis for early diagnosis of skin lesions is by the CNN-RF and CNN-FFNN hybrid models. CNN models (DenseNet121, MobileNet, and VGG19) receive a region of interest (skin lesions) and produce highly representative feature maps for each lesion. The second strategy to analyze the area of skin lesions and diagnose their type by means of CNN-RF and CNN-FFNN hybrid models based on the features of the combined CNN models. Hybrid models based on combined CNN features have achieved promising results for diagnosing dermoscopy images of the ISIC 2019 dataset and distinguishing skin cancers from other skin lesions. The Dense-Net121-MobileNet-RF hybrid model achieved an AUC of 95.7%, an accuracy of 97.7%, a precision of 93.65%, a sensitivity of 91.93%, and a specificity of 99.49%."

+6751,skin cancer,38512222,Induction of SK-MEL-28 Invasion by Brain Cortical Cell-Conditioned Medium Through CXCL10 Signaling.,"Melanoma, an infrequent yet significant variant of skin cancer, emerges as a primary cause of brain metastasis among various malignancies. Despite recognizing the involvement of inflammatory molecules, particularly chemokines, in shaping the metastatic microenvironment, the intricate cellular signaling mechanisms underlying cerebral metastasis remain elusive. In our pursuit to unravel the role of cytokines in melanoma metastasis, we devised a protocol utilizing mixed cerebral cortical cells and SK-MEL-28 melanoma cell lines. Contrary to expectations, we observed no discernible morphological change in melanoma cells exposed to a cerebral conditioned medium (CM). However, a substantial increase in both migration and proliferation was quantitatively noted. Profiling the chemokine secretion by melanoma in response to the cerebral CM unveiled the pivotal role of interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (CXCL10), inhibiting the secretion of interleukin 8 (CXCL8). Furthermore, through a transwell assay, we demonstrated that knockdown CXCL10 led to a significant decrease in the migration of the SK-MEL-28 cell line. In conclusion, our findings suggest that a cerebral CM induces melanoma cell migration, while modulating the secretion of CXCL10 and CXCL8 in the context of brain metastases. These insights advance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms in melanoma cerebral metastasis, paving the way for further exploration and targeted therapeutic interventions."

Long-term ultraviolet radiation exposure and Merkel cell polyomavirus are associated with MCC pathogenesis. We present a case of MCC on the right cheek in a male patient aged 87 years. Our primary goal in presenting the case is to bring MCC, which is a diagnostic challenge, to the notice of dermatologists and oncologists, as early detection and prompt treatment are important. The patient had a significant past medical history, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, stage 3 chronic kidney disease, benign prostatic hyperplasia, chronic hyponatremia, acute pancreatitis, essential thrombocytosis on hydroxyurea, and ischemic heart disease. The patient presented with a mildly swollen right upper lip showing a poorly defined, relatively homogeneous subcutaneous lesion with a history of persistence for 1.5 months. The clinical examination revealed a 5 × 3-cm nodular lesion on the right side of the cheek with swelling of the right upper lip. Immunohistochemistry markers and histopathological features confirmed the diagnosis of MCC. The patient was referred to the oncology department for further management. MCC of the skin is an aggressive lesion with a high risk of metastasis and recurrence, which is more common in immunocompromised people. Prompt management and treatment of MCC is essential because if left untreated, it can spread to other parts of the body and can also metastasize to lymph nodes and other organs.

+6755,skin cancer,38511744,Density of high endothelial venules and PDL-1 expression: relationship with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in primary cutaneous melanomas.,"Studies have highlighted melanoma immunogenicity, and the prognostic importance of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and mechanisms of tumor immune evasion, such as hyperexpression of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PDL-1). High endothelial venules (HEV) are specialized blood vessels that can facilitate the lymphocytes migration to the tumor. Here we evaluate the association of HEV density and PDL-1 expression in primary cutaneous melanomas with the presence and degree of TILs and with other clinicopathological variables (age, sex, tumor location, melanoma histological type, Breslow thickness, ulceration, regression signs, mitotic index). HEV density and PDL-1 expression were assessed immunohistochemically in 78 melanoma cases, using a specific antibody, and were detected in 59% and 76% of these, respectively. Positive associations were identified between HEV density and PDL-1 expression with the presence and degree of lymphocytic infiltration, melanoma histological type and ulceration presence. No correlation was found between HEV density and PDL-1 expression. Our findings confirm the HEV role in the recruitment and facilitation of lymphocyte transport in cutaneous melanomas, where HEV density is strongly associated with the degree of TILs. Additionally, PDL-1 hyperexpression suggests a possible mechanism of tumor immune evasion, which may lead to inactivation and reduction of the tumor lymphocytes number."

First-, second-, and third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have limited clinical activity against EGFR ex20ins mutations. Mobocertinib is a first-in-class oral EGFR TKI that selectively targets in-frame EGFR ex20ins mutations in NSCLC; accelerated approval in the United States was granted for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR ex20ins mutations whose disease has progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. Accelerated approval was based on the results from the three-part, open-label, multicenter, pivotal phase I/II nonrandomized clinical trial (NCT02716116) that enrolled 114 patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR ex20ins mutation-positive NSCLC who were previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy and received mobocertinib at the recommended dosage of 160 mg once daily. At the November 1, 2021, data cutoff date, the confirmed objective response rate per independent review committee (IRC) was 28%, median duration of response was 15.8 months, median progression-free survival per IRC was 7.3 months, and median overall survival was 20.2 months. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events were gastrointestinal- and skin-related. The phase III EXCLAIM-2 study evaluated mobocertinib versus chemotherapy as first-line therapy for locally advanced or metastatic EGFR ex20ins-positive NSCLC; however, the primary end point was not met, resulting in initiating voluntary withdrawal of mobocertinib worldwide.

In this study, we identified gambogic acid (GBA) as a specific pyroptosis inducer in prostatic cancer cells. By using a thermal proteome profiling (TPP) strategy, we revealed that GBA induces pyroptosis by directly targeting the canopy FGF signaling regulator (CNPY3), which was previously considered ""undruggable"". Moreover, through the utilization of the APEX2-based proximity labeling method, we found that GBA recruited delactatease SIRT1, resulting in the elimination of lysine lactylation (Kla) on CNPY3. Of note, SIRT1-mediated delactylation influenced the cellular localization of CNPY3 to promote lysosome rupture for triggering pyroptosis. Taken together, our study identified CNPY3 as a distinctive cellular target for pyroptosis induction and its potential application in prostate cancer therapy."

+6759,skin cancer,38510898,Nationwide Case-Control Analysis of Merkel Cell Carcinoma and Associated Skin Cancer Comorbidities: An Examination of the All of Us Database.,"Introduction Merkel cell carcinoma is an aggressive neuroendocrine tumor that is related to immunosuppression and the Merkel cell polyomavirus. It is more common on the head and neck and has been associated with other skin malignancies such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. However, there has never been a nationwide investigation that quantifies Merkel cell carcinoma's connection with these subgroups. Methods Utilizing the National Institutes of Health's All of Us open-access database, a retrospective study was conducted by filtering for Merkel cell carcinoma through the International Classification of Diseases, 9th and 10th Clinical Modification codes 209.* and C4A.*, respectively. This led to the inclusion of 41 patients in the study, with each instance compared to four control patients without merkel cell carcinoma, matched by age, race, and gender. The data's demographics and skin cancer co-morbidities were collected and evaluated with odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals using Wald's method. Results In patients with merkel cell carcinoma, a statistically significant gradient of increasing risk for developing basal cell carcinoma (Odds Ratio, 11.63; 95% Confidence Interval, 4.30-31.45; P < 0.0001), squamous cell carcinoma (Odds Ratio, 15.09; 95% Confidence Interval, 3.87-58.84; P = 0.0001), and melanoma (Odds Ratio, 27.94; 95% Confidence Interval, 3.26-239.48; P = 0.0024) was observed. The race/ethnicity demographics showed that 85.4% of the patients were white, and they were at the highest risk of developing merkel cell carcinoma. However, the study has limitations, such as the inability to identify the stage of merkel cell carcinoma among patients and the lack of consideration for other confounding variables. Conclusion The study examines the link between merkel cell carcinoma and other skin malignancies, underscoring the need for more national research to better understand the underlying causes that contribute to this link. The findings also indicate the possibility of sample bias in the All of Us database, emphasizing the need to assess the patient population's representativeness in such investigations."

However, 20% of CM patients exhibit intrinsic drug resistance to BRAFi, while most of the others develop adaptive resistance over time. The mechanisms involved in BRAFi resistance are disparate and globally seem to rewire the cellular signaling profile by up-regulating different receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), such as the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). RTKs inhibitors have not clearly demonstrated anti-tumor activity in BRAFi resistant models. To overcome this issue, we wondered whether the shared up-regulated RTK phenotype associated with BRAFi resistance could be exploited by using immune weapons as the antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC)-mediated effect of anti-RTKs antibodies, and kill tumor cells independently from the mechanistic roots."

+6763,skin cancer,38509860,Estimating the impact of bias in causal epidemiological studies: the case of health outcomes following assisted reproduction.,"Researchers interested in causal questions must deal with two sources of error: random error (random deviation from the true mean value of a distribution), and bias (systematic deviance from the true mean value due to extraneous factors). For some causal questions, randomization is not feasible, and observational studies are necessary. Bias poses a substantial threat to the validity of observational research and can have important consequences for health policy developed from the findings. The current piece describes bias and its sources, outlines proposed methods to estimate its impacts in an observational study, and demonstrates how these methods may be used to inform debate on the causal relationship between medically assisted reproduction (MAR) and health outcomes, using cancer as an example. In doing so, we aim to enlighten researchers who work with observational data, especially regarding the health effects of MAR and infertility, on the pitfalls of bias, and how to address them. We hope that, in combination with the provided example, we can convince readers that estimating the impact of bias in causal epidemiologic research is not only important but necessary to inform the development of robust health policy and clinical practice recommendations."
+6764,skin cancer,38509752,Characterization of PRAME immunohistochemistry reveals lower expression in pediatric melanoma compared to adult melanoma.,"Pediatric melanomas are rare tumors that have clinical and histological differences from adult melanomas. In adult melanoma, the immunohistochemical marker PRAME is increasingly employed as a diagnostic adjunct. PRAME is also under investigation as a target structure for next-generation immunotherapies including T-cell engagers. Little is known about the characteristics of PRAME expression in pediatric melanoma. In this retrospective study, samples from 25 pediatric melanomas were compared with control groups of melanomas in young adults (18-30 years; n = 32), adult melanoma (>30 years, n = 30), and benign melanocytic nevi in children (0-18 years; n = 30) with regard to the immunohistochemical expression of PRAME (diffuse PRAME expression >75%/absolute expression). Pediatric melanomas show lower diffuse PRAME expression (4%) and lower absolute PRAME expression (25%) compared to young adult melanomas (15.6%/46.8%) and adult melanomas (50%/70%). A significant age-dependent expression could be observed. An analysis of event-free survival shows no prognostic role for PRAME in pediatric melanoma and young adult melanoma, but a significant association with diffuse PRAME expression in adulthood. The age dependency of PRAME expression poses a potential pitfall in the diagnostic application of melanocytic tumors in young patients and may limit therapeutic options within this age group. The immunohistochemical expression of the tumor-associated antigen PRAME is an increasingly important diagnostic marker for melanocytic tumors and is gaining attention as a possible immunotherapeutic target in melanoma. As the available data primarily stem from adult melanoma, and given the clinical and histological distinctions in pediatric melanomas, our understanding of PRAME expression in this specific patient group remains limited. The age-dependent low PRAME expression shown here constrains the use of this marker in pediatric melanoma and may also limit the use of immunotherapeutic strategies against PRAME in young patients."
+6765,skin cancer,38509717,NECTIN4-targeted antibody-drug conjugate is a potential therapeutic option for extramammary Paget disease.,"Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare skin cancer mainly found in areas rich in apocrine sweat glands. Since the effective treatments for advanced and/or metastasized EMPD are limited, there is an urgent need to develop novel therapeutic approaches. Nectin cell adhesion molecule 4 (NECTIN4) is highly expressed in cancers and considered to be a promising therapeutic target. NECTIN4 is also expressed in EMPD, but its role and the efficacy of NECTIN4-targeted therapy in EMPD remain unclear. This study investigated the potential of NECTIN4 as a novel therapeutic target for EMPD. NECTIN4 expression was immunohistochemically analysed in EMPD patients' primary (118 samples) and metastatic (21 samples) lesions. Using an EMPD cell line, KS-EMPD-1, the effects of NECTIN4 inhibition on cell proliferation and migration were investigated. NECTIN4 was expressed in primary and metastatic EMPD lesions, and the H-score of NECTIN4 staining was significantly higher in metastatic lesions than in primary ones. Knockdown of NECTIN4 significantly inhibited cell proliferation and affected cell migration. The cytotoxic effects of NECTIN4-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) were further evaluated, revealing a significant decrease in EMPD cell viability. In conclusion, NECTIN4 is a potential therapeutic target and NECTIN4-targeted ADC is promising as a therapeutic option for EMPD."

A Critical Review of Preoperative Hypofractionated Radiotherapy for Localized Soft Tissue Sarcoma.,"This critical review aims to summarize the relevant published data regarding hypofractionation regimens for preoperative radiation therapy (RT) prior to surgery for soft tissue sarcoma (STS) of the extremity or superficial trunk. We identified peer-reviewed publications using a PubMed search on the MeSH headings of ""soft tissue sarcoma"" AND ""hypofractionated radiation therapy."" To obtain complication data on similar anatomical radiotherapeutic scenarios we also searched ""hypofractionated radiation therapy"" AND ""melanoma"" as well as ""hypofractionated radiation therapy"" AND ""breast cancer."" We then used reference lists from relevant articles to obtain additional pertinent publications. We also incorporated relevant abstracts presented at international sarcoma meetings and relevant clinical trials as listed on the ClinicalTrials.gov website. Detailed data are presented and contextualized for ultra-hypofractionated and moderately hypofractionated regimens with respect to local control, wound complications, and amputation rates. Comparative data are also presented for late toxicities including: fibrosis, joint limitation, edema, skin integrity, and bone fracture or necrosis. These data are compared to a standard regimen of 50 Gy in 25 daily fractions delivered over 5 weeks. This analysis supports the continued use of a standard regimen for preoperative RT for STS of 25 × 2 Gy over 5 weeks without concurrent chemotherapy. Use of concurrent chemotherapy with preoperative RT for STS should be reserved for well-designed clinical trials. A randomized trial of ultra-hypofractionated and moderately hypofractionated pre op RT for STS is warranted, but it is critical for the primary endpoint (or co-primary endpoint) to be late toxicity to: bone, soft tissue, joint, and skin."

The progression of melanoma is influenced by a number of pathogenic processes. Understanding the VEGF/VEGFR axis, which includes VEGF-A, PlGF, VEGF-B, VEGF-C, and VEGF-D and their receptors, VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, and VEGFR-3, is of great importance in melanoma due to its crucial role in angiogenesis. This axis generates multifactorial and complex cellular signaling, engaging the MAPK/ERK, PI3K/AKT, PKC, PLC-γ, and FAK signaling pathways. Melanoma cell growth and proliferation, migration and metastasis, survival, and acquired resistance to therapy are influenced by this axis. The VEGF/VEGFR axis was extensively examined for their potential as diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers in melanoma patients and results showed that VEGF overexpression can be associated with unfavorable prognosis, higher level of tumor invasion and poor response to therapy. MicroRNAs linking to the VEGF/VEGFR axis were identified and, in this review, divided into two categories according to their functions, some of them promote melanoma angiogenesis (promotive group) and some restrict melanoma angiogenesis (protective group). In addition, the approach of treating melanoma by targeting the VEGF/VEGFR axis has garnered significant interest among researchers. These agents can be divided into two main groups: anti-VEGF and VEGFR inhibitors. These therapeutic options may be a prominent step along with the modern targeting and immune therapies for better coverage of pathological processes leading to melanoma progression and therapy resistance."

The consequences of sun exposure include a plethora of dermal conditions like aging, solar urticaria, albinism and cancer. Sunscreens provide effective protection to skin from these damages. Besides FDA approved physical and chemical UV filters, phytoconstituents with their multi functionalities are emerging as frontrunners in Therapy of skin disorders. Objective of this study was to develop novel phyto-dermal gel (PDG) with dual action of sun protection and antioxidant potential using polymeric mixed micelles (PMMs) are nanocarriers. PMMs of Pluronic F127 and Pluronic F68 loaded with curcumin and quercetin were optimized by 32 factorial designs. Responses studied were vesicle size, SPF, entrapment efficiency of curcumin and quercetin and antioxidant activity. Droplet size ranged from 300 to 500 nm with PDI in between 0.248 and 0.584. Combination of curcumin and quercetin showed enhanced sun protection and antioxidant activity. Pluronics played a significant positive role in various parameters. In present studies vesicle size of factorial batches was found to be between 387 and 527 nm, and SPF was found to be between 18.86 and 28.32. Transmission electron microscopy revealed spherical morphology of micelles. Optimized micelles were incorporated into Carbopol 940. Optimized PDG was evaluated for pH, drug content, spreadability, rheology, syneresis, ex vivo permeation, and skin retention. Hysteresis loop in the rheogram suggested thixotropy of PDG. Syneresis for gels from day 0-30 days was found to be between 0% and 12.46% w/w. SPF of optimized PDG was 27±0.5. Optimized PDG showed no signs of erythema and edema on Wistar rats. PMMs thus effectively enhanced antioxidant and skin protective effect of curcumin and quercetin."

Genomic studies have not identified consistent alterations and mechanisms that differentiate IBC from non-IBC tumors, suggesting that the microenvironment could be a potential driver of IBC phenotypes. Here, using single-cell RNA sequencing, multiplex staining, and serum analysis in patients with IBC, we identified enrichment of a subgroup of luminal progenitor (LP) cells containing high expression of the neurotropic cytokine pleiotrophin (PTN) in IBC tumors. PTN secreted by the LP cells promoted angiogenesis by directly interacting with the NRP1 receptor on endothelial tip cells located in both IBC tumors and the affected skin. NRP1 activation in tip cells led to recruitment of immature perivascular cells in the affected skin of IBC, which are correlated with increased angiogenesis and IBC metastasis. Together, these findings reveal a role for cross-talk between LPs, endothelial tip cells, and immature perivascular cells via PTN-NRP1 axis in the pathogenesis of IBC, which could lead to improved strategies for treating IBC."
+6778,skin cancer,38507348,DVFNet: A deep feature fusion-based model for the multiclassification of skin cancer utilizing dermoscopy images.,"Skin cancer is a common cancer affecting millions of people annually. Skin cells inside the body that grow in unusual patterns are a sign of this invasive disease. The cells then spread to other organs and tissues through the lymph nodes and destroy them. Lifestyle changes and increased solar exposure contribute to the rise in the incidence of skin cancer. Early identification and staging are essential due to the high mortality rate associated with skin cancer. In this study, we presented a deep learning-based method named DVFNet for the detection of skin cancer from dermoscopy images. To detect skin cancer images are pre-processed using anisotropic diffusion methods to remove artifacts and noise which enhances the quality of images. A combination of the VGG19 architecture and the Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) is used in this research for discriminative feature extraction. SMOTE Tomek is used to resolve the problem of imbalanced images in the multiple classes of the publicly available ISIC 2019 dataset. This study utilizes segmentation to pinpoint areas of significantly damaged skin cells. A feature vector map is created by combining the features of HOG and VGG19. Multiclassification is accomplished by CNN using feature vector maps. DVFNet achieves an accuracy of 98.32% on the ISIC 2019 dataset. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) statistical test is used to validate the model's accuracy. Healthcare experts utilize the DVFNet model to detect skin cancer at an early clinical stage."

A validation study of diagnostic performance of skin diseases in live video conferencing teledermatology.,"The diagnostic accuracy rate of live videoconferencing (LVC) teledermatology, by board-certified dermatologists compared to non-dermatologists has not yet been fully investigated. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of board-certified dermatologists, dermatology specialty trainees, and board-certified internists in LVC teledermatology. We examined the diagnostic accuracy of clinicians from different specialties in diagnosing the same group of patients. The clinicians were isolated from each other during the diagnosis process. We enrolled 18 volunteer physicians (six board-certified dermatologists, six dermatology specialty trainees, and six board-certified internists) who reviewed the skin conditions of 18 patients via LVC teledermatology. The diagnostic accuracy of the participating physicians was evaluated using the final diagnosis as the reference standard. The diagnostic accuracy averages were compared according to the physicians' specialties and disease categories. The mean ± standard deviation diagnostic accuracy of the most detailed level diagnosis was 83.3% ± 3.5% (range, 77.8%-89.0%) for board-certified dermatologists, 53.7 ± 20.7% (range 27.8%-77.8%) for dermatology specialty trainees, and 27.8 ± 5.0% (range, 22.2%-33.3%) for board-certified internists. Board-certified dermatologists showed significantly higher diagnostic accuracy, not only against board-certified internists (p < 0.0001) but also against dermatology specialty trainees (p < 0.05). Disease categories with high accuracy rates (≥80%) only by board-certified dermatologists were inflammatory papulosquamous dermatoses (87.5%), compared to 58.3%, and 20.8% for dermatology specialty trainees and board-certified internists respectively). For inflammatory erythemas and other reactive inflammatory dermatoses the accuracy rates for board-certified dermatologists, dermatology specialty trainees, and board-certified internists were 83.3%, 33.3%, 8.3% respectively; for melanoma in situ neoplasms, 83.3%, 50.0%, 66.7% respectively), and for genetic disorders of keratinization 83.3%, 33.3%, and 0% respectively).

Several in vivo methods have been developed to test DTH responses in animal models. They include the local lymph node assay (LLNA) and local lymph node proliferation assay (LLNP). While LLNA is instrumental in testing topically administered formulations (e.g., creams), the LLNP was proven to be predictive of drug-mediated DTH in response to small molecule pharmaceuticals. Global efforts in reducing the use of research animals lead to the development of in vitro models to predict test-materials' mediated DTH. Two such models include the analysis of surface marker expression in human cell lines THP-1 and U-937. These tests are known as the human cell line activation test (hCLAT) and myeloid U937 skin sensitization test (MUSST or U-SENS), respectively.

The liposomal drug delivery system has attracted considerable attention to overcome the delivery limitations of pharmacological agents. The present study investigated the effect of WA-loaded pegylated nanoliposomes (LWA) on in vitro and in vivo B16F10 melanoma tumor models. In vitro results showed that LWA had significantly (P < 0.01) higher cytotoxicity than free WA and induced ROS-mediated apoptosis in B16F10 cells. Transwell cell migration and invasion studies demonstrated that LWA treatment significantly (P < 0.01) decreased the migratory and invasive capacities of melanoma cells compared with WA. In vivo study revealed that treatment significantly (P < 0.01) reduced tumor growth in experimental animals compared with WA or tumor control. Also, LWA administration remarkably inhibited tumor cell proliferation by downregulating the expression of Ki-67 and Cyclin D1 and induced apoptosis by regulating the expression of Bax, Bcl2, and Bcl xl levels. Our results strongly suggest that LWA could be a promising therapeutic formulation for treating malignant melanoma."

Hence, various inflammatory keratinization diseases are recognized to cause innate immunity hyperactivation. Therefore, we have been advocating for the clinical entity, ""autoinflammatory keratinization diseases (AiKDs)"" since 2017. AiKDs are inflammatory keratinization diseases caused by autoinflammatory-related pathomechanisms in the skin. The aberrant activation of innate immunity and the resultant autoinflammation in the epidermis and the superficial dermis in AiKDs cause hyperkeratosis in the epidermis. Our initially proposed concept of AiKDs included generalized pustular psoriasis and related conditions, pityriasis rubra pilaris type V, and familial keratosis lichenoides chronica. Since then, the number of diseases known to be AiKDs has increased as previously unknown disease-causing factors and pathogenetic mechanisms of inflammatory keratinization diseases have been clarified one by one. To date, porokeratosis, hidradenitis suppurative, keratosis linearis with ichthyosis congenita and sclerosing keratoderma (KLICK) syndrome, and AiKDs associated with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) deficiency or with hepatitis and autism have been recognized as AiKDs. The concept of AiKDs is considered extremely useful in our precise understanding of the pathogeneses behind inflammatory keratinization diseases and our appropriate treatment method selection. The number of AiKDs is expected to grow with the clarification of the pathomechanisms of further inflammatory keratinization diseases."

Therefore, early diagnosis and the identification of novel targets become fundamental. The enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) catalyzes the reaction of N-methylation of nicotinamide and other analogous compounds. Although NNMT overexpression was reported in many malignancies, the significance of its dysregulation in cancer cell phenotype was partly clarified. Several works demonstrated that NNMT promotes cancer cell proliferation, migration, and chemoresistance. In this study, we investigated the possible involvement of this enzyme in MCC. Preliminary immunohistochemical analyses were performed to evaluate NNMT expression in MCC tissue specimens. To explore the enzyme function in tumor cell metabolism, MCC cell lines have been transfected with plasmids encoding for short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) targeting NNMT mRNA. Preliminary immunohistochemical analyses showed elevated NNMT expression in MCC tissue specimens. The effect of enzyme downregulation on cell proliferation, migration, and chemosensitivity was then evaluated through MTT, trypan blue, and wound healing assays. Data obtained clearly demonstrated that NNMT knockdown is associated with a decrease of cell proliferation, viability, and migration, as well as with enhanced sensitivity to treatment with chemotherapeutic drugs. Taken together, these results suggest that NNMT could represent an interesting MCC biomarker and a promising target for targeted anti-cancer therapy."

Frequent tanning is most common among young women and is linked to a variety of sociocultural pressures that negatively impact body image and drive appearance control behaviors. Unfortunately, there are no established interventions designed for frequent tanners. This intervention addresses this gap with unique content informed by body image and acceptance-based interventions. The intervention is delivered using Facebook secret groups, an approach designed to support behavior change and ensure scalability."

Cutaneous metastasis is rare in gastric cancer, with only 0.8-1% incidence. We reported a rare case of female gastric cancer. The patient had undergone subtotal gastrectomy and chemotherapy 13 years ago, followed by a subsequent surgery of residual stomach, partial jejunum, and partial colon resection 11 years later. The pathological examination revealed poorly differentiated stomach adenocarcinoma, Lauren classification: diffuse type. The patient received 2 cycles of SOX chemotherapy. Two years later, cauliflower-like skin nodules, which were surgically excised, appeared on the back. The histopathological examination showed a spindle cell tumor; no specific anti-tumor treatment was administered. Six months later, the skin lesions increased in size and number, spreading to the neck, chest, and abdomen, presenting as erythematous patches with some cauliflower-like elevations. A skin biopsy of a 1cm0.5cm0.3cm lesion on the left abdomen was performed, and based on the immunohistochemistry, clinical history, and the possibility of metastatic or infiltrating adenocarcinoma, the gastrointestinal origin was highly suspected. Genetic testing was performed on the gastric recurrence and skin lesions, revealing 103 shared genetic variations, further suggesting the skin metastasis originated from gastric cancer. Subsequently, the patient received 10 cycles of immunotherapy combined with intravenous chemotherapy (200mg Tislelizumab and 100mg albumin-bound paclitaxel). The treatment response was evaluated as partial remission, with significant improvement in the skin lesions compared to before.

The standard of care for localized disease is complete surgical excision, but this may not be possible without significant disruption to visual structures and facial appearance. Definitive radiation may be an option for some patients who cannot or do not wish to undergo surgery. Advances in systemic treatment options for locally advanced and metastatic skin cancers in the past 10 years have prompted investigation into neoadjuvant treatment of periocular cancers. The use of chemotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and targeted therapies have all been reported with varying degrees of success. For many patients, targeted therapies or immune checkpoint inhibitors should be considered depending on the cancer type, symptoms, and goals with the input of a multidisciplinary cancer care team.

It more rarely manifests in the pancreas, with less than 20 cases reported in the literature since 1987. Despite its rarity, MS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a soft tissue mass causing obstructive jaundice, especially if the patient has a known hematologic disease. Isolated cases of pancreatic MS have been known to progress to AML; therefore, it is crucial to differentiate MS from more common diagnoses, such as pancreatic cancer or pancreatitis. This is a case of a 70-year-old male with symptomatic obstructive jaundice secondary to pancreatic MS, ultimately requiring endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for diagnosis and management.

Therefore, several inhibitors of this pathway are being developed, and some are already used in the clinic. We have previously identified an anticancer compound, ACA-28, with a unique property to preferentially induce ERK-dependent apoptosis in melanoma cells. To comprehensively understand the biological cellular impact induced by ACA-28, we performed a global gene expression analysis of human melanoma SK-MEL-28 cells exposed to ACA-28 using a DNA microarray. The transcriptome analysis identified nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a master transcription factor that combats oxidative stress, as the most upregulated genetic pathway after ACA-28 treatment. Consistently, ACA-28 showed properties to increase the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as Nrf2 protein, which is normally repressed by proteasomal degradation and activated in response to oxidative stresses. Furthermore, the ROS scavenger N-acetyl cysteine significantly attenuated the anticancer activity of ACA-28. Thus, ACA-28 activates Nrf2 signaling and exerts anticancer activity partly via its ROS-stimulating property. Interestingly, human A549 cancer cells with constitutively high levels of Nrf2 protein showed resistance to ACA-28, as compared with SK-MEL-28. Transient overexpression of Nrf2 also increased the resistance of cells to ACA-28, while knockdown of Nrf2 exerted the opposite effect. Thus, upregulation of Nrf2 signaling protects cancer cells from ACA-28-mediated cell death. Notably, the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 substantially enhanced the cell death-inducing property of ACA-28 in pancreatic cancer cells, T3M4 and PANC-1. Our data suggest that Nrf2 plays a key role in determining cancer cell susceptibility to ACA-28 and provides a novel strategy for cancer therapy to combine the Nrf2 inhibitor and ACA-28."

+6828,skin cancer,38500495,Identification of dihydromyricetin as a natural DNA methylation inhibitor with rejuvenating activity in human skin.,"Changes in DNA methylation patterning have been reported to be a key hallmark of aged human skin. The altered DNA methylation patterns are correlated with deregulated gene expression and impaired tissue functionality, leading to the well-known skin aging phenotype. Searching for small molecules, which correct the aged methylation pattern therefore represents a novel and attractive strategy for the identification of anti-aging compounds. DNMT1 maintains epigenetic information by copying methylation patterns from the parental (methylated) strand to the newly synthesized strand after DNA replication. We hypothesized that a modest inhibition of this process promotes the restoration of the ground-state epigenetic pattern, thereby inducing rejuvenating effects. In this study, we screened a library of 1800 natural substances and 640 FDA-approved drugs and identified the well-known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory molecule dihydromyricetin (DHM) as an inhibitor of the DNA methyltransferase DNMT1. DHM is the active ingredient of several plants with medicinal use and showed robust inhibition of DNMT1 in biochemical assays. We also analyzed the effect of DHM in cultivated keratinocytes by array-based methylation profiling and observed a moderate, but significant global hypomethylation effect upon treatment. To further characterize DHM-induced methylation changes, we used published DNA methylation clocks and newly established age predictors to demonstrate that the DHM-induced methylation change is associated with a reduction in the biological age of the cells. Further studies also revealed re-activation of age-dependently hypermethylated and silenced genes "

By accepting loss of pan-T-cell antigens and clonal T-cell receptor gene rearrangements as important criteria to differentiate between benign and malignant T-cell proliferations, and monotypic immunoglobulin light-chain expression and clonal immunoglobulin gene rearrangements as crucial criteria to distinguish between benign and malignant B-cell proliferations, many cases, until then diagnosed as cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia or pseudolymphoma, were reclassified as primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium T-cell lymphoma (PCSM-TCL) or primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma (PCMZL), respectively. However, in recent years there is growing awareness that neither these immunohistochemical criteria nor demonstration of T-cell or B-cell clonality is specific for malignant lymphomas. In addition, many studies have reported that these low-grade malignant CTCL and CBCL have an indolent clinical behavior and an excellent prognosis with disease-specific survival rates of or close to 100%. As a result, recent classifications have downgraded several low-grade malignant cutaneous lymphomas to lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD). Both the 5th edition of the WHO classification (2022) and the 2022 International Consensus Classification (ICC) of mature lymphoid neoplasms reclassified PCSM-TCL as primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium T-cell LPD and primary cutaneous acral CD8+ T-cell lymphoma as primary cutaneous acral CD8+ T cell LPD. While the 2022 ICC introduced the term ""primary cutaneous marginal zone LPD,"" in the 5th edition of the WHO classification PCMZL is maintained. In this review we describe the background and rationale of the continually changing terminology of these conditions and discuss the clinical consequences of downgrading malignant lymphomas to LPDs."

Here, we show that the efficacy of cancer immunotherapies is compromised by the accumulation of senescent cells in mice and in the context of therapy-induced senescence (TIS). Resistance to immunotherapy is associated with a decrease in the accumulation and activation of CD8 T cells within tumors. Elimination of senescent cells restores immune homeostasis within the tumor micro-environment (TME) and increases mice survival in response to immunotherapy. Using single-cell transcriptomic analysis, we observe that the injection of ABT263 (Navitoclax) reverses the exacerbated immunosuppressive profile of myeloid cells in the TME. Elimination of these myeloid cells also restores CD8 T cell proliferation in vitro and abrogates immunotherapy resistance in vivo. Overall, our study suggests that the use of senolytic drugs before ICI may constitute a pharmacological approach to improve the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapies."

In particular, the ultraviolet B (UVB) component of sunlight induces inflammasome activation in keratinocytes to instigate the cutaneous inflammatory responses. Here, we explore the intracellular machinery that maintains skin homeostasis by suppressing UVB-induced inflammasome activation in human keratinocytes. We found that pharmacological inhibition of autophagy promoted UVB-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Unexpectedly, however, gene silencing of Atg5 or Atg7, which are critical for conventional autophagy, had no effect, whereas gene silencing of Beclin1, which is essential not only for conventional autophagy but also for Atg5/Atg7-independent alternative autophagy, promoted UVB-induced inflammasome activation, indicating an involvement of alternative autophagy. We found that damaged mitochondria were highly accumulated in UVB-irradiated keratinocytes when alternative autophagy was inhibited, and they appear to be recognized by NLRP3. Overall, our findings indicate that alternative autophagy, rather than conventional autophagy, suppresses UVB-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation through the clearance of damaged mitochondria in human keratinocytes and illustrate a previously unknown involvement of alternative autophagy in inflammation. Alternative autophagy may be a new therapeutic target for sunburn and associated cutaneous disorders."

Prognosis is dismal, and median survival is distinctly shortened in case of distant metastatic disease. Diffuse pleural metastases with distinctive overarching unilateral involvement are uncommon. Cutaneous SCC commonly metastasizes to lymph nodes, lungs, liver, bones, and skin. Diffuse unilateral pleural metastasis of cSCC of the foot is extremely rare. We report the case of a 54-year-old man with recurrent cSCC.

The transmission of schistosomiasis happens through contact with schistosomiasis infested fresh water in rivers and lakes. The transmission vector is the snail that releases immature worms capable of penetrating the human skin. The worm then matures and mates in the blood vessels and deposits its eggs in tissues, causing urogenital disease. There is currently no gold standard for FGS diagnosis. Reliable diagnostics are challenging due to the lack of appropriate instruments and clinical skills. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends ""screen-and-treat"" cervical cancer management, by means of visual inspection of characteristic lesions on the cervix and point-of-care treatment as per the findings. FGS may be mistaken for cervical cancer or sexually transmitted diseases. Misdiagnosis may lead to the wrong treatment, increased risk of exposure to other infectious diseases (human immunodeficiency virus and human papilloma virus), infertility and stigmatisation. The necessary clinical knowledge is only available to a few experts in the world. For an appropriate diagnosis, this knowledge needs to be transferred to health professionals who have minimal or non-existing laboratory support. Co-design workshops were held with stakeholders (WHO representative, national health authority, FGS experts and researchers, gynaecologists, nurses, medical doctors, public health experts, technical experts, and members of the public) to make prototypes for the WHO Pocket Atlas for FGS, a mobile diagnostic support tool and an e-learning tool for health professionals.

In addition, hybrid schistosomes have been identified through molecular analysis. Human infection occurs when cercariae, the larval form of the parasite, penetrate the skin of people while bathing in contaminated waters such as lakes and rivers. Schistosomiasis can cause both urogenital and intestinal symptoms. Urogenital symptoms include haematuria, bladder fibrosis, kidney damage, and an increased risk of bladder cancer. Intestinal symptoms may include abdominal pain, sometimes accompanied by diarrhoea and blood in the stool.

However, the complexity of the data generated by this technology has limited the development of effective computational tools to identify and quantify cell processes. Amongst them, apoptosis is a crucial form of regulated cell death involved in tissue homeostasis and host defense. Live-cell imaging enabled the study of apoptosis at the cellular level, enhancing our understanding of its spatial-temporal regulation. However, at present, no computational method can deliver robust detection of apoptosis in microscopy timelapses. To overcome this limitation, we developed ADeS, a deep learning-based apoptosis detection system that employs the principle of activity recognition. We trained ADeS on extensive datasets containing more than 10,000 apoptotic instances collected both in vitro and in vivo, achieving a classification accuracy above 98% and outperforming state-of-the-art solutions. ADeS is the first method capable of detecting the location and duration of multiple apoptotic events in full microscopy timelapses, surpassing human performance in the same task. We demonstrated the effectiveness and robustness of ADeS across various imaging modalities, cell types, and staining techniques. Finally, we employed ADeS to quantify cell survival in vitro and tissue damage in mice, demonstrating its potential application in toxicity assays, treatment evaluation, and inflammatory dynamics. Our findings suggest that ADeS is a valuable tool for the accurate detection and quantification of apoptosis in live-cell imaging and, in particular, intravital microscopy data, providing insights into the complex spatial-temporal regulation of this process."

Few studies have explored the interaction between these risk factors, namely how the risk of skin cancer increases among those who both have been exposed to high levels of natural sunlight and regularly use tanning beds. Nurses' Health Study II followed 116,430 women, aged 25-42, from 1991 to 2011. Cumulative average UV exposure was based on participants' residences at follow-up periods. History of severe sunburn during ages 15-20 was used as a proxy for early-life sunlight exposure. Tanning bed use in early life data was collected. Participants reported melanoma, basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) diagnoses. We built multivariable Cox regression models to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for risk of skin cancer associated with joint effects of sunlight exposure and tanning bed use. Participants with high sunlight exposure and tanning bed use during high school/college had an increased risk of BCC (HR=1.53, CI 1.37-1.71, P interaction =0.01; vs. low UV exposure and no tanning bed use). Participants with a history of severe sunburns and tanning bed use during high school/college were at increased risk of BCC (HR=1.62, CI 1.47-1.79, P interaction =0.02; vs. no sunburns and no tanning bed use). No significant interactions were found between sunlight exposure and tanning bed use on SCC and melanoma risk. We found significant interactions between sunlight exposure and tanning bed use on the risk of BCC."

GD is a dermatological condition characterized by papulovesicular lesions typically found on the chest and trunk. While GD is linked to chemotherapeutic agents, its association with letrozole is not well documented. The patient presented with a pruritic rash on her neck, right arm, and trunk, initially misdiagnosed as contact dermatitis. Despite treatment with triamcinolone acetonide, the rash persisted. A subsequent punch biopsy confirmed acantholytic dyskeratosis consistent with GD. Discontinuation of letrozole and treatment with augmented betamethasone dipropionate resulted in significant improvement within four weeks. This case underscores the importance of considering drug-induced dermatological conditions in patients undergoing chemotherapy. While hypersensitivity drug eruptions typically present as morbilliform-patterned cutaneous eruptions, GD should be considered, especially in older patients with multiple medications. The incidence of GD following letrozole therapy is not well studied, making this case a valuable addition to the limited literature. In summary, recognizing and managing drug-induced skin conditions in cancer patients are crucial. This report contributes to our understanding of the potential association between letrozole and GD, emphasizing the need for further research in this area."

Nevertheless, it is frequently responsible for unexpected cutaneous manifestations, including psoriasis-like dermatitis. The pathogenesis of anti-PD-1-induced psoriasis has yet to be clarified, even though it is plausible that some innate and adaptive immunity processes are in common with canonical psoriasis. The genetic predisposition to psoriasis of patients could also be a contributing factor. Here, we investigated the immunological and genetic profiles of two patients with metastatic melanoma and one patient affected by lung cancer, who developed severe psoriasis after receiving anti-PD-1 nivolumab therapy."

In this retrospective study we have reviewed the treatment modalities rendered and outcomes associated for the management of locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma in our Institute. We evaluated the survival data and the factors effecting survival. Methods: Kaplan Meir method was used to evaluate OS and DFS rate and log rank test was used to compare the survival amongst groups. Cox regression analysis (univariate and multivariate) was used to evaluate the hazard ratio to find out the possible factors influencing risk of death and disease. Results: The median OS and DFS in our study were 32 and 24 months respectively. On a subset analysis of only T4b patients who underwent either upfront surgery or induction chemotherapy followed by surgery there was no significant difference in OS and DFS. All patients with TURD had partial response after induction chemotherapy and were subjected to surgical resection followed by adjuvant therapy. Conclusion: Extracapsular spread, bone involvement, skin infiltration, treatments, surgical margins and Lymph node size are the prime predictors of survival.Upfront surgery remains the standard of care for resectable LAOSCC. Induction chemotherapy might improve the resectability in technically unresectable OSCC. There is no difference in survival between concurrent chemoradiation, sequential chemoradiation and radical radiotherapy in the management of unresectable disease."

We analysed various risk parameters of cSCC to predict the incidence of nodal metastases. A total of 118 patients with the head cSCC were included in a single-institution retrospective study covering the period from 2008 to 2020. Tumour recurrence, temple location, and tumour infiltration depth were found to be independent predictors of nodal metastases (increasing the probability of metastases by 8.0, 8.1, and 4.3 times, respectively). Furthermore, univariate analysis shows that the tumour size and T stage are significant factors increasing the risk of metastases. Several independent risk factors for the development of metastases in the head cSCC have been confirmed. These findings might help identify at-risk patients who require additional attention for adequate radical treatment and close follow-up. In contrast, elective treatment of lymph nodes is not recommended due to the low incidence of regional metastases."

Here, we use the combination of Brillouin microscopy and optical coherence tomography for motion-corrected, depth-resolved biomechanical testing of human skin in vivo. We obtained two peaks in the Brillouin spectra for the epidermis, the first at 7 GHz and the second near 9-10 GHz. The experimentally measured Brillouin frequency shift of the dermis is lower compared to the epidermis and is 6.8 GHz, indicating the lower stiffness of the dermis."

+6861,skin cancer,38495280,Advancements in autoimmune hepatitis management: Perspectives for future guidelines.,"The first-line treatment for autoimmune hepatitis involves the use of prednisone or prednisolone either as monotherapy or in combination with azathioprine (AZA). Budesonide has shown promise in inducing a complete biochemical response (CBR) with fewer adverse effects and is considered an optional first-line treatment, particularly for patients without cirrhosis; however, it is worth noting that the design of that study favored budesonide. A recent real-life study revealed higher CBR rates with prednisone when equivalent initial doses were administered. Current guidelines recommend mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for patients who are intolerant to AZA. It is important to mention that the evidence supporting this recommendation is weak, primarily consisting of case series. Nevertheless, MMF has demonstrated superiority to AZA in the context of renal transplant. Recent comparative studies have shown higher CBR rates, lower therapeutic failure rates, and reduced intolerance in the MMF group. These findings may influence future guidelines, potentially leading to a significant modification in the first-line treatment of autoimmune hepatitis. Until recently, the only alternative to corticosteroids was lifelong maintenance treatment with AZA, which comes with notable risks, such as skin cancer and lymphoma. Prospective trials are essential for a more comprehensive assessment of treatment suspension strategies, whether relying on histological criteria, strict biochemical criteria, or a combination of both. Single-center studies using chloroquine diphosphate have shown promising results in significantly reducing relapse rates compared to placebo. However, these interesting findings have yet to be replicated by other research groups. Additionally, second-line drugs, such as tacrolimus, rituximab, and infliximab, should be subjected to controlled trials for further evaluation."

The breast in women and the lung in men represent the two elective sites of internal malignancies metastasizing to the skin. The aim of this study was to determine the epidemiologic, clinical, and pathologic features of CMs. A retrospective study of the patients diagnosed with CMs over 30 years was conducted. Thirty cases of CMs were enrolled in our study. In 16 cases (53%), the skin metastasis revealed the internal malignancy. The mean age was 66.4 years with sex ratio men/women of 2. CMs were solitary in 18 cases and multiple in 14 cases. The most frequent location was the chest (12 cases), followed by the abdomen (eight cases), the scalp (seven cases), and the arms (six cases). The common sites of primary malignancy were the lungs in men (nine cases) and the breast in women (three cases). Nine out of 30 patients died with an average of 33 months after diagnosis.

In their rarity, lymphomas are the diseases with more frequent paraneoplastic neurologic syndrome. High-risk antibodies are absent in most lymphoma-associated paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes, with the exception of antibodies to Tr/DNER in paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration, mGluR5 in limbic encephalitis, and mGluR1 in some cerebellar ataxias. Peripheral nervous system paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes are rare and heterogeneous, with a prevalence of demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy in non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, skin changes (POEMS) is a rare, paraneoplastic syndrome due to an underlying plasma cell disorder. The diagnosis is based on defined criteria, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), not an antibody, is considered a reliable diagnostic marker that also mirrors therapy response. As with the paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes in solid tumors, therapies rely on cancer treatment associated with immunomodulatory treatment with better response in PNS with antibodies to surface antigens. The best outcome is generally present in Ophelia syndrome/limbic encephalitis with anti-mGluR5 antibodies, with frequent complete recovery. Besides patients with isolated osteosclerotic lesions (where radiotherapy is indicated), hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation is the therapy of choice in patients with POEMS syndrome. In the paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes secondary to immune checkpoint inhibitors, discontinuation of the drug together with immunomodulatory treatment is recommended."

Accumulating evidence shows that the risk of a coexisting malignancy is high in patients with DM, especially among those with anti-Tif1γ autoantibodies. Patients with IMNM and no defined autoantibodies also have an increased risk of malignancy. Recent evidence demonstrates that many IBM patients have increased numbers of circulating CD57+ CD8+ T cells, consistent with a diagnosis of large granular lymphocytic leukemia. In contrast, IMNM patients with anti-SRP or anti-HMGCR autoantibodies as well as patients with ASyS syndrome do not have a definitively increased risk of cancer.

+6881,skin cancer,38492899,Nanobody-mediated targeting of zinc phthalocyanine with polymer micelles as nanocarriers.,"Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a suitable alternative to currently employed cancer treatments. However, the hydrophobicity of most photosensitizers (e.g., zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPC)) leads to their aggregation in blood. Moreover, non-specific accumulation in skin and low clearance rate of ZnPC leads to long-lasting skin photosensitization, forcing patients with a short life expectancy to remain indoors. Consequently, the clinical implementation of these photosensitizers is limited. Here, benzyl-poly(ε-caprolactone)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) micelles encapsulating ZnPC (ZnPC-M) were investigated to increase the solubility of ZnPC and its specificity towards cancers cells. Asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation was used to characterize micelles with different ZnPC-to-polymer ratios and their stability in human plasma. The ZnPC-M with the lowest payload (0.2 and 0.4% ZnPC w/w) were the most stable in plasma, exhibiting minimal ZnPC transfer to lipoproteins, and induced the highest phototoxicity in three cancer cell lines. Nanobodies (Nbs) with binding specificity towards hepatocyte growth factor receptor (MET) or epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) were conjugated to ZnPC-M to facilitate cell targeting and internalization. MET- and EGFR-targeting micelles enhanced the association and the phototoxicity in cells expressing the target receptor. Altogether, these results indicate that ZnPC-M decorated with Nbs targeting overexpressed proteins on cancer cells may provide a better alternative to currently approved formulations."

Recently, efforts to identify effective natural remedies and health supplements are increasing. Previous studies have reported that the cell lysates and the cell wall-bound lipoteichoic acids of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum K8 (K8) exert anti-inflammatory and immunomodulative effects. However, the effect of K8 on cellular hypoxic responses remains unknown. In this study, we found that K8 lysates had a potent suppressive effect on gene expression under hypoxia. K8 lysates markedly downregulated hypoxia-induced HIF1α accumulation in the human bone marrow and lung cancer cell lines, SH-SY5Y and H460. Consequently, the transcription of known HIF1α target genes, such as p21, GLUT1, and ALDOC, was notably suppressed in the K8 lysate supplement and purified lipoteichoic acids of K8, upon hypoxic induction. Intriguingly, K8 lysates decreased the expression of PHD2 and VHL proteins, which are responsible for HIF1α destabilization under normoxic conditions, suggesting that K8 may regulate HIF1α stability in a non-canonical pathway. Overall, our results suggest that K8 lysates desensitize the cells to hypoxic stresses and suppress HIF1α-mediated hypoxic gene activation."

+6893,skin cancer,38489995,Iron homeostasis in older adults: balancing nutritional requirements and health risks.,"Iron plays a crucial role in many physiological processes, including oxygen transport, bioenergetics, and immune function. Iron is assimilated from food and also recycled from senescent red blood cells. Iron exists in two dietary forms: heme (animal based) and non-heme (mostly plant based). The body uses iron for metabolic purposes, and stores the excess mainly in splenic and hepatic macrophages. Physiologically, iron excretion in humans is inefficient and not highly regulated, so regulation of intestinal absorption maintains iron homeostasis. Iron losses occur at a steady rate via turnover of the intestinal epithelium, blood loss, and exfoliation of dead skin cells, but overall iron homeostasis is tightly controlled at cellular and systemic levels. Aging can have a profound impact on iron homeostasis and induce a dyshomeostasis where iron deficiency or overload (sometimes both simultaneously) can occur, potentially leading to several disorders and pathologies. To maintain physiologically balanced iron levels, reduce risk of disease, and promote healthy aging, it is advisable for older adults to follow recommended daily intake guidelines and periodically assess iron levels. Clinicians can evaluate body iron status using different techniques but selecting an assessment method primarily depends on the condition being examined. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the forms, sources, and metabolism of dietary iron, associated disorders of iron dyshomeostasis, assessment of iron levels in older adults, and nutritional guidelines and strategies to maintain iron balance in older adults."

+6896,skin cancer,38489577,Feasibility and efficacy of indocyanine green in monitoring systemic drug leakage during isolated limb perfusion for recurrent melanoma of extremity.,"Melanoma is known for its high metastatic potential and aggressive growth. Recurrence is common post-surgery, sometimes leading to unresectable disease. Locally recurrent unresectable melanoma of extremity has been treated with high-dose anticancer chemotherapy via isolated limb perfusion (ILP) to improve local efficacy of drug and salvage limbs. Standard ILP monitoring uses radiolabeled dyes, requiring specialized personnel and involving radiation exposure. In this case, we used indocyanine green (ICG) to track systemic drug leakage during ILP. A 47-year-old gentleman with recurrent malignant melanoma of the left foot, operated twice earlier and treated with adjuvant pembrolizumab, presented with multiple in-transit metastases in the limb. ILP was planned, with 5 mg ICG administered in the perfusion solution along with high-dose melphalan. Stryker's SPI PHI handheld device was employed to visualize ICG during ILP. Absence of fluorescence beyond the involved extremity, such as fingers, ears, and the abdominal wall, indicated no systemic drug dispersion. For control, technetium radiocolloid dye was co-administered, monitored by a precordial gamma probe, confirming no systemic leakage, and validating effectiveness of ICG in leakage monitoring. ICG proves to be a safe, reliable, cost-effective, radiation-free approach for precise systemic drug leakage monitoring during ILP for recurrent melanoma of extremity."

Since 2017, a fixed dose (FD) regimen [first 240 mg Q2W and then 480 mg per month (Q4W)] was allowed. The objective of the study was to compare a WBD regimen and an FD regimen with regard to effectiveness and safety. We conducted a single-center, retrospective, real-life study of consecutive adult patients who had received a WBD of nivolumab or an FD of 480 mg Q4W. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of grade ≥3 immune-related adverse events (irAEs). The secondary endpoints were overall survival and cost of the treatment. In all, 342 patients were included: 71 in the WBD cohort and 271 in the FD cohort. Of these patients, 201 patients (59.6%) experienced an irAE, and 24 of these events were graded as ≥3. At 12 months, there was no significant difference in irAE occurrence between the two cohorts [hazard ratio (95% confidence interval): 0.54 (0.21-1.36), P  = 0.19]. The 12-month overall survival rate was significantly lower in the WBD cohort ( P  < 0.001). Switching from a fortnightly weight dose to a fixed monthly dose halves the cost of hospitalization. Our results did not show a significant difference between WBD and FD cohort in the occurrence of severe irAEs. However overall survival appeared to be significantly higher in FD group. Some clinical trials are investigating a hybrid dosing regimen in which a WBD is capped by an FD. The present results need to be confirmed in prospective studies."

However, although bound iodine atoms are considered powerful HaB donors, few iodinated new drugs were reported so far. Recently, iodinated 4,4'-bipyridines showed interesting properties as HaB donors in solution and in the solid state. In this paper, a study on the inhibition activity of seven halogenated 4,4'-bipyridines against malignant melanoma (MM) cell proliferation is described. Explorative dose/response proliferation assays were first performed with three 4,4'-bipyridines by using four MM cell lines and the normal BJ fibroblast cell line as control. Among them, the A375 MM cell line was the most sensitive, as determined by MTT assays, which was selected to evaluate the antiproliferative activity of all 4,4'-bipyridines. Significantly, the presence of an electrophilic iodine impacted the biological activity of the corresponding compounds. The 3,3',5,5'-tetrachloro-2-iodo-4,4'-bipyridine showed significant antiproliferation activity against the A375 cell line, and lower toxicity on BJ fibroblasts. Through in silico studies, the stereoelectronic features of possible sites determining the bioactivity were explored. These results pave the way for the utilization of iodinated 4,4'-bipyridines as templates to design new promising HaB-enabled inhibitors of MM cell proliferation."

With exception of ultraviolet B (UVB) requirement in the production of vitamin D3, the positive role of UVR in modulation of homeostasis is underappreciated. Skin exposure to UVR triggers local responses secondary to the induction of chemical, hormonal, immune, and neural signals that are defined by the chromophores and extent of UVR penetration into skin compartments. These responses are not random and are coordinated by the cutaneous neuro-immuno-endocrine system, which counteracts the action of external stressors and accommodates local homeostasis to the changing environment. The UVR induces electrical, chemical, and biological signals to be sent to the brain, endocrine and immune systems, as well as other central organs, which in concert regulate body homeostasis. To achieve its central homeostatic goal, the UVR-induced signals are precisely computed locally with transmission through nerves or humoral signals release into the circulation to activate and/or modulate coordinating central centers or organs. Such modulatory effects will be dependent on UVA and UVB wavelengths. This leads to immunosuppression, the activation of brain and endocrine coordinating centers, and the modification of different organ functions. Therefore, it is imperative to understand the underlying mechanisms of UVR electromagnetic energy penetration deep into the body, with its impact on the brain and internal organs. Photo-neuro-immuno-endocrinology can offer novel therapeutic approaches in addiction and mood disorders; autoimmune, neurodegenerative, and chronic pain-generating disorders; or pathologies involving endocrine, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, or reproductive systems."
+6901,skin cancer,38489314,Integrating and optimizing tonabersat in standard glioblastoma therapy: A preclinical study.,"Glioblastoma (GB), a highly aggressive primary brain tumor, presents a poor prognosis despite the current standard therapy, including radiotherapy and temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy. Tumor microtubes involving connexin 43 (Cx43) contribute to glioma progression and therapy resistance, suggesting Cx43 inhibition as a potential treatment strategy. This research aims to explore the adjuvant potential of tonabersat, a Cx43 gap junction modulator and blood-brain barrier-penetrating compound, in combination with the standard of care for GB. In addition, different administration schedules and timings to optimize tonabersat's therapeutic window are investigated. The F98 Fischer rat model will be utilized to investigate tonabersat's impact in a clinically relevant setting, by incorporating fractionated radiotherapy (three fractions of 9 Gy) and TMZ chemotherapy (29 mg/kg). This study will evaluate tonabersat's impact on tumor growth, survival, and treatment response through advanced imaging (CE T1-w MRI) and histological analysis. Results show extended survival in rats receiving tonabersat with standard care, highlighting its adjuvant potential. Daily tonabersat administration, both preceding and following radiotherapy, emerges as a promising approach for maximizing survival outcomes. The study suggests tonabersat's potential to reduce tumor invasiveness, providing a new avenue for GB treatment. In conclusion, this preclinical investigation highlights tonabersat's potential as an effective adjuvant treatment for GB, and its established safety profile from clinical trials in migraine treatment presents a promising foundation for further exploration."

We performed a meta-analysis examining surgical margins and Breslow depth for eyelid melanomas. A systematic review was performed in August 2022 using PubMed, Cochrane, and Medline databases (1/1/1990 to 8/1/2022). Inclusion criteria included studies reporting surgical treatment of primary cutaneous melanomas of the eyelid with reported surgical margins. Ten articles were included. The studies were examined by surgical margin size (group 1: ≤ 0.5 cm; group 2 > 0.5 cm and ≤ 1.5 cm) and Breslow depth (group 1: ≤ 1 mm; group 2: > 1 mm). The odds ratio (OR) for local recurrence was 2.55 [95% CI 0.36-18.12], p = 0.18; regional metastasis was 0.70 [95% CI 0.00-23671.71], p = 0.48; and distant metastasis was 2.47 [95% CI 0.00-1687.43], p = 0.66. When examining by Breslow depth, the OR for local recurrence was 0.53 [95% CI 0.14-1.94], p = 0.34; regional metastasis was 0.14 [0.00-176.12], p = 0.54; and the OR for distant metastasis was 0.24 [95% CI 0.01-8.73], p = 0.46. There was a trend toward higher likelihood of recurrence and metastasis in the ≤ 0.5 cm group. Similarly, there is a trend toward higher likelihood of recurrence and metastasis with Breslow depth > 1 mm. A surgical margin of at least 0.5 cm and achievement of negative margins via permanent sections or MMS are likely needed to prevent adverse outcomes. En face sectioning may be a superior method of histological processing for eyelid melanoma."

However, conventional techniques provided superficial information only due to shallow imaging depths. Herein, we developed open-top two-photon light sheet microscopy (OT-TP-LSM) for intraoperative 3D pathology. An extended depth of field two-photon excitation light sheet was generated by scanning a nondiffractive Bessel beam, and selective planar imaging was conducted with cameras at 400 frames/s max during the lateral translation of tissue specimens. Intrinsic second harmonic generation was collected for additional extracellular matrix (ECM) visualization. OT-TP-LSM was tested in various human cancer specimens including skin, pancreas, and prostate. High imaging depths were achieved owing to long excitation wavelengths and long wavelength fluorophores. 3D visualization of both cells and ECM enhanced the ability of cancer detection. Furthermore, an unsupervised deep learning network was employed for the style transfer of OT-TP-LSM images to virtual H&E images. The virtual H&E images exhibited comparable histological characteristics to real ones. OT-TP-LSM may have the potential for histopathological examination in surgical and biopsy applications by rapidly providing 3D information."

The hallmark of these lesions is sebaceous differentiation. However, poorly-differentiated sebaceous carcinoma (SC), which lacks significant overt sebaceous differentiation, can show morphologic overlap with a variety of other basaloid cutaneous neoplasms. The accurate classification of SC is essential not only for diagnosis, but also because of the potential association with Muir-Torre syndrome. Androgen receptor (AR) is a sensitive, but not entirely specific immunohistochemical marker that has been used for the diagnosis of SC. PReferentially expressed Antigen in MElanoma (PRAME) demonstrates strong cytoplasmic labeling of mature sebocytes and has been reported to be expressed in a variety of sebaceous neoplasms, including in the basaloid cell component. Therefore, we sought to compare the diagnostic use of cytoplasmic PRAME expression with that of AR for the distinction of SC from a cohort of basaloid cutaneous mimics; namely basal cell carcinoma, basaloid squamous cell carcinoma, pilomatricoma, cutaneous lymphadenoma, and extra-mammary Paget disease. We report that cytoplasmic PRAME expression is uncommon in poorly differentiated SC, and although specific, it shows very low sensitivity (22%). In contrast, AR was moderately sensitive (66%) and highly specific (92%) for the distinction of SC from basaloid mimics. These attributes, in addition to the nuclear expression of AR in the sebocytic and basaloid components of SC, suggest that AR is superior to PRAME for the diagnosis of SC."

Aberrant DNA methylation is observed in a wide range of pathologies, including cancer. Since these DNA modifications are transferred to the cell progenies and are stable over the time, the analysis of DNA methylation status has been proposed for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in cancer. Currently, DNA bisulfite conversion is the gold standard method for the high‑throughput analysis of DNA methylation alterations. However, bisulfite treatment induces DNA fragmentation affecting its quality for the downstream analyses. In this field, it is mandatory to identify novel methods to overcome the limits of conventional approaches. In the present study, the Methylation‑Sensitive Restriction Enzyme‑droplet digital PCR (MSRE‑ddPCR) assay was developed as a novel sensitive method for the analysis of DNA methylation of short genomic regions, combining the MSRE assay with the high‑sensitivity ddPCR and using an exogenous methylation sequence as control.

Silibinin, a natural lignan, has been found to possess strong anti-cancer activity against several types of human cancers based on emerging research. This study aims to provide an overview of the therapeutic potential of silibinin in the treatment and prevention of cancers. A comprehensive search was conducted using various internet databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect to identify relevant research papers. Silibinin has been shown to exhibit anticancer activity against several types of cancers, including liver, lungs, breast, prostate, colorectal, skin, and bladder cancers. Its multifaceted mechanisms of action contribute to its therapeutic effects. Silibinin exerts antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic, anti-metastatic, and anti-angiogenic activities, making it a promising candidate for cancer therapy. One of the key mechanisms underlying the anticancer effects of silibinin is its ability to modulate multiple signaling pathways involved in cancer development and progression. It can inhibit the activation of various oncogenic pathways, including PI3K/Akt, NF-κB, Wnt/β-catenin, and MAPK pathways, thereby suppressing cancer cell proliferation, inducing cell cycle arrest, and promoting apoptosis. Silibinin possesses great potential as an effective treatment agent for cancer. The multifaceted mechanisms of action, favorable safety profile, and potential synergistic effects of silibinin with conventional therapies make it an attractive candidate for further investigation and development as a cancer treatment. However, more extensive clinical studies are necessary to fully establish the efficacy, optimal dosage, and long-term effects of silibinin in cancer treatment."

However, some subjects may develop only one type of lesion. In this cross-sectional study, the spectrum of premalignant (PM) and malignant skin lesions and their risk factors were studied. Therefore, 505 adult subjects (aged 21-79 years, 256 males and 249 females, 96 with immunosuppression) at risk of any type of skin cancer were examined for cutaneous malignancies, nevi, actinic keratoses, photodamage, and possible risk factors. First, 12 different groups were identified with a varying set of PM and/or malignant skin lesions. Next, 5 larger groups were formed from them: basal cell carcinoma (BCC) only, malignant melanoma (MM) only, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and/or PM, BCC + SCC and/or PM, and MM + keratinocyte carcinoma (KC) and/or PM. The groups with BCC or MM only were younger and showed less photodamage than the mixed groups, while SCC/PM showed similarity with them. In logistic regression analyses, the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio was associated with an increased risk of concomitant KC (OR 1.028, p = 0.023) or SCC/PM (OR 1.009, p = 0.047) in subjects with MM or BCC, respectively. Actinic keratoses produced ORs 0.246-0.252 (p = 0.008-0.020) for BCC in subjects with SCC/PM. Interestingly, atypical mole syndrome decreased the risk of SCC/PM in subjects with BCC (OR 0.092, p = 0.001). Advanced age was a significant risk factor for an additional type of lesion in all 3 comparisons (ORs 1.088-1.388, p = 0.001). In conclusion, even though there are numerous patients with only one lesion type, advancing age may determine the final lesion multiplicity."

However, precise functions in immunity and potential for predicting ICP inhibitors (ICI) response have been described for only a few lncRNAs. Here we present an integrated framework that leverages network-based analyses and Bayesian network inference to identify the regulated relationships including lncRNA, ICP and immunity genes as ICP-related LncRNAs mediated Core Regulatory Circuitry Triplets (ICP-LncCRCTs) that can make robust predictions. Hub ICP-related lncRNAs such as MIR155HG and ADAMTS9-AS2 were highlighted to play central roles in immune regulation. Specific ICP-related lncRNAs could distinguish cancer subtypes. Moreover, the ICP-related lncRNAs are likely to significantly correlated with immune cell infiltration, MHC, CYT. Some ICP-LncCRCTs such as CXCL10-MIR155HG-ICOS could better predict one-, three- and five-year prognosis compared to single molecule in melanoma. We also validated that some ICP-LncCRCTs could effectively predict ICI-response using three kinds of machine learning algorithms follow five independent datasets. Specially, combining ICP-LncCRCTs with the tumor mutation burden (TMB) improves the prediction of ICI-treated melanoma patients. Altogether, this study will improve our grasp of lncRNA functions and accelerating discovery of lncRNA-based biomarkers in ICI treatment."
+6921,skin cancer,38485806,The potential of facial nevi in personal identification.,"Forensic anthropologists dealing with personal identification (PI) of human remains have recently stressed the need to explore the potential of ""secondary identifiers"" for identifying victims who died in particular events for whom images often represent the main antemortem data available. Being the face the part most exposed in images, characteristics as pigmented skin lesions (PSLs), can be crucial if combined with other input. Since no data is available on frequencies and distribution of facial PSLs in the general population, this study aims at systematically collecting such data to verify their potential in PI and to open a debate on the aid that ""secondary identifiers"", regardless of their specific nature, can give to the identification of the deceased in specific forensic contexts. A retrospective analysis on three-dimensional facial models of 1039 Italian subjects (from 4 to 84 years old) was conducted to examine the incidence of PSLs discriminated according to size and position in well-defined facial areas. From the collected data we developed a probabilistic approach providing the likelihood ratio (LR) for two settings: (1) the relative frequencies of nevi in the various facial areas, providing the deriving compound probability of owning a certain facial PSLs pattern; and (2) codes describing the facial nevi pattern of each individual of our population, thus testing their uniqueness and so their potential in PI. The calculated LRs mostly proved high identifying strength, particularly when provided by the compound probability-based approach. Data on incidence and position of facial nevi, their generated codes, and the probabilistic approach here presented, all constitute a starting point for advancing secondary identifiers. Nonetheless, although this preliminary study proved facial PSLs as valuable and potentially useful for identification, their significance and validity should be interpreted with caution as we are still at the first theoretical step clearly based on ideal conditions, and thus further investigations are due on the limitations of their use in practical identifying settings. Therefore, being this systematic study only a preliminary one in its nature, it is recommended not to use this kind of approach until further studies will test its validity in several practical conditions."

Several benign and malignant diseases can arise within the NAC. As several conditions have overlapping symptoms and imaging findings, understanding the distinctive nipple anatomy, as well as the clinical and imaging features of each NAC disease process, is essential. A multimodality imaging approach is optimal in the presence or absence of clinical symptoms. The authors review the ductal anatomy and anomalies, including congenital abnormalities and nipple retraction. They then discuss the causes of nipple discharge and highlight best practices for the imaging workup of pathologic nipple discharge, a common condition that can pose a diagnostic challenge and may be the presenting symptom of breast cancer. The imaging modalities used to evaluate and differentiate benign conditions (eg, dermatologic conditions, epidermal inclusion cyst, mammary ductal ectasia, periductal mastitis, and nonpuerperal abscess), benign tumors (eg, papilloma, nipple adenoma, and syringomatous tumor of the nipple), and malignant conditions (eg, breast cancer and Paget disease of the breast) are reviewed.

Melanomas operated on post-pandemic onset had an increased risk of ulceration (odds ratio 1.35, 95% confidence interval 1.22-1.50). Keratinocyte carcinomas showed increased thickness and worsened stage post-pandemic. However, studies included were mostly retrospective and cross-sectional, reporting diverse data.

Due to the rarity of these tumours, as well as the heterogeneity of histologies and anatomical subsites, there is little evidence regarding the rate and location of regional metastases in sinonasal malignancies. Elective regional lymph node dissection in the therapy of sinonasal malignancies has become controversial. On the one hand, elective regional lymph node dissection is considered to be an overtreatment in the cN0 cases. On the other hand, undetected occult lymphatic metastases are associated with a poor prognosis. In this study, we discuss the role of sentinel lymph node biopsy as a minimally invasive procedure in the treatment of sinonasal malignancies based on our two years of practical experience and the currently available data."

At these sites, NUT carcinoma is an extremely aggressive malignancy with dismal prognosis. Recently, five cases of primary cutaneous NUT adnexal carcinoma have been reported with BRD3 and NSD3 fusion partners. Although NUT adnexal carcinomas are shown to have metastatic potential, they may behave less aggressively than extracutaneous NUT carcinomas. We report a case of a 59-year-old man who underwent a biopsy of a 3-cm plantar mass, which showed BRD4::NUTM1 fusion. The tumor was a poorly differentiated dermal neoplasm showing cytologic atypia, large vesicular nuclei with prominent nucleoli, conspicuous mitotic activity, and foci of necrosis. Immunohistochemically, the tumor showed positivity for keratins, EMA, SOX10, and NUT, with patchy smooth muscle actin. Molecular testing revealed BRD4::NUTM1 rearrangement. With no alternative primary identified by imaging, a diagnosis of primary cutaneous NUT carcinoma was favored. We hope to contribute to the limited body of knowledge on this entity, with emphasis on recognition as well as studying and defining its prognostic differences from extracutaneous NUT carcinomas."

Dexamethasone, a primary corticosteroid for treating psoriasis, demonstrates notable efficacy; however, its limited skin permeation results in documented adverse effects. To address this, the presented study employed a novel strategy to conjugate gold nanorod and dexamethasone and evaluate their potential for mitigating psoriatic inflammation using an imiquimod-induced mouse model and human skin cells. Our findings revealed enhanced cutaneous penetration of gold nanorod and dexamethasone conjugates compared with that of dexamethasone, owing to superior skin penetration. Gold nanorod and dexamethasone conjugates demonstrated an optimal pharmacological impact at minimal dosages without toxicity during extended use. To further enhance the effectiveness of gold nanorod and dexamethasone conjugates, 808 nm near-infrared laser irradiation, which reacts to gold, was additionally applied to achieve thermal elevation to expedite drug skin penetration. Supplementary laser irradiation at 808 nm significantly ameliorated psoriatic symptoms following deep gold nanorod and dexamethasone conjugates penetration. This corresponded with restored peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ levels and accelerated dexamethasone release from the gold nanorod and dexamethasone conjugates complex. These findings highlight the potential of gold nanorod and dexamethasone conjugates to enhance drug penetration through dermal layers, thereby aiding psoriasis treatment. Moreover, its compatibility with photothermal therapy offers prospects for novel therapeutic interventions across various inflammatory skin disorders."

In this study, we assess melanoma immunotherapy response using a multi-scale network approach to identify gene modules with coordinated gene expression in response to treatment. Using gene expression data of melanoma before and after treatment with nivolumab, we modeled gene expression changes in a correlation network and measured a key network geometric property, dynamic Ollivier-Ricci curvature, to distinguish critical edges within the network and reveal multi-scale treatment-response gene communities. Analysis identified six distinct gene modules corresponding to sets of genes interacting in response to immunotherapy. One module alone, overlapping with the nuclear factor kappa-B pathway (NFkB), was associated with improved patient survival and a positive clinical response to immunotherapy. This analysis demonstrates the usefulness of dynamic Ollivier-Ricci curvature as a general method for identifying information-sharing gene modules in cancer."

Early detection plays a pivotal role in improving survival rates. This study aims to develop an advanced deep learning-based approach for accurate skin lesion classification, addressing challenges such as limited data availability, class imbalance, and noise. Modern deep neural network designs, such as ResNeXt101, SeResNeXt101, ResNet152V2, DenseNet201, GoogLeNet, and Xception, which are used in the study and ze optimised using the SGD technique. The dataset comprises diverse skin lesion images from the HAM10000 and ISIC datasets. Noise and artifacts are tackled using image inpainting, and data augmentation techniques enhance training sample diversity. The ensemble technique is utilized, creating both average and weighted average ensemble models. Grid search optimizes model weight distribution. The individual models exhibit varying performance, with metrics including recall, precision, F1 score, and MCC. The ""Average ensemble model"" achieves harmonious balance, emphasizing precision, F1 score, and recall, yielding high performance. The ""Weighted ensemble model"" capitalizes on individual models' strengths, showcasing heightened precision and MCC, yielding outstanding performance. The ensemble models consistently outperform individual models, with the average ensemble model attaining a macro-average ROC-AUC score of 96 % and the weighted ensemble model achieving a macro-average ROC-AUC score of 97 %. This research demonstrates the efficacy of ensemble techniques in significantly improving skin lesion classification accuracy. By harnessing the strengths of individual models and addressing their limitations, the ensemble models exhibit robust and reliable performance across various metrics. The findings underscore the potential of ensemble techniques in enhancing medical diagnostics and contributing to improved patient outcomes in skin lesion diagnosis."

We found that microbiome stability and individuality are body-site specific and heavily influenced by the host. The stool and oral microbiome are more stable than the skin and nasal microbiomes, possibly due to their interaction with the host and environment. We identify individual-specific and commonly shared bacterial taxa, with individualized taxa showing greater stability. Interestingly, microbiome dynamics correlate across body sites, suggesting systemic dynamics influenced by host-microbial-environment interactions. Notably, insulin-resistant individuals show altered microbial stability and associations among microbiome, molecular markers, and clinical features, suggesting their disrupted interaction in metabolic disease.

We report a 5-month-old male who presented with a 3-week history of cutaneous bullae and pruritus. On examination, he had erythema of the cheeks bilaterally and diffuse slightly hyperpigmented, indurated skin on his trunk and abdomen. There were tense vesicles, bullae, and erosions linearly arranged on his trunk and extremities. Both the laboratory and imaging workup were normal. Subsequently, a punch biopsy of a vesicle on the abdomen was obtained and findings confirmed a diagnosis of diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis. An EpiPen(r) was prescribed due to the slightly increased anaphylaxis risk compared to other forms of mastocytosis. There are many purported triggers of diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis and there is currently no known cure which makes management of this disease challenging.

Negative histopathologic margins were achieved in three stages of permanent fixed tissue en face processing and the final defect was repaired with a large rotation flap. Approximately one month after repair, the patient presented with new-onset diplopia and was found to have a complete left cranial nerve VI palsy suspicious for continued disease spread. MRI confirmed perineural spread along the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve through the superior orbital fissure into the cavernous sinus. She was subsequently treated with radiation therapy (66Gy in 33 fractions). The involvement of two distinct cranial nerves by perineural invasion is uncommon and has mostly been described involving branches of the trigeminal and facial nerves. This case highlights the rare presentation of perineural invasion involving both the trigeminal nerve and the abducens nerve. Anatomically, this clinical presentation can be explained by the retrograde perineural spread along the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve through the supraorbital fossa into the cavernous sinus where these two nerves are in close proximity."

Its clinical manifestation can be indistinguishable from bullous pemphigoid (BP), a similar autoimmune bullous disease caused by IgG and IgE autoantibodies. Although BP has been reported as an adverse cutaneous effect of immunotherapy, LABD has rarely been associated with immunotherapy in the literature. We present the case of a 67-year-old woman with metastatic ovarian cancer receiving anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA4 with new onset pruritic tense bullae to the trunk, hands, elbows (in annular distribution) that occurred after immunotherapy. Skin biopsy showed subepidermal blister with abundant neutrophils on H&amp;E histology, and linear IgA staining at the basement membrane on direct immunofluorescence consistent with the diagnosis of LABD. The condition did not improve on initial prednisone taper, but blisters rapidly resolved a few days after initiation of dapsone therapy. We favor that our patient's LABD is secondary to her immunotherapy. Our case highlights the importance of both H&amp;E histology and direct immunofluorescence in diagnosis of blistering disorders in patients on immunotherapy to help in choosing the most effective treatment option in an attempt to avoid discontinuation of immunotherapy."

In the present study, a severe FG due to rectal cancer perforation was described and the features of this rare disease were summarized with a literature review. A 57-year-old man was admitted because of rectal cancer-induced FG. The patient was misdiagnosed with extensive perianal abscess until the intraoperative biopsy confirmed that rectal cancer was the culprit. Incision, debridement and drainage were carried out to reduce infectious burdens. After that, the patient was transferred to Peking University People's Hospital for the subsequent therapy. Empirical broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy was used at the initial stage. Diversional transverse loop colostomy was performed to control infection and resume oral feeding. After four rounds of vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy, radical resection and wound closure were accomplished. The scrotal defect was repaired by a skin flap. Pathological results indicated a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma with perforation. The patient was discharged from the hospital on postoperative day 15 without any post-operative complications. No signs of recurrence were observed during a 22-month follow-up. In the setting of rectal cancer-induced FGs, the liquid resuscitation, broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, and prompt debridement are the cornerstones of the initial management. Diversional colostomy and VAC therapy were effective in the management of severe infection and large wounds.

However, there is a lack of understanding of correlation between regulation of specific lncRNAs and tumor-infiltrating macrophages within melanoma. In this research, a macrophage associated lncRNA signature was identified by multiple machine learning algorithms and the robust and effectiveness of signature also validated in other independent datasets. The signature contained six specific lncRNAs (PART1, LINC00968, LINC00954, LINC00944, LINC00518 and C20orf197) was constructed, which could diagnose melanoma and predict the prognosis of patients. Moreover, our signature achieves higher accuracy than the previous well-established markers and regarded as an independent prognostic indicator. The pathway enrichment revealed that these lncRNAs were closely correlated with many immune processes. In addition, the signature was associated with different immune microenvironment and applied to predict response of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy (low risk of patients well respond to anti-PD-1 therapy and high risk is insensitive to anti-CTLA-4 therapy). Therefore, our finding supplies a more accuracy and effective lncRNA signature for tumor-infiltrating macrophages targeting treatment approaches and affords a new clinical application for predicting the response of immunotherapies in melanomas."
+6997,skin cancer,38474935,Acceleration of Hyperspectral Skin Cancer Image Classification through Parallel Machine-Learning Methods.,"Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has become a very compelling technique in different scientific areas; indeed, many researchers use it in the fields of remote sensing, agriculture, forensics, and medicine. In the latter, HSI plays a crucial role as a diagnostic support and for surgery guidance. However, the computational effort in elaborating hyperspectral data is not trivial. Furthermore, the demand for detecting diseases in a short time is undeniable. In this paper, we take up this challenge by parallelizing three machine-learning methods among those that are the most intensively used: Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) algorithms using the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) to accelerate the classification of hyperspectral skin cancer images. They all showed a good performance in HS image classification, in particular when the size of the dataset is limited, as demonstrated in the literature. We illustrate the parallelization techniques adopted for each approach, highlighting the suitability of Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) to this aim. Experimental results show that parallel SVM and XGB algorithms significantly improve the classification times in comparison with their serial counterparts."

The upregulation of the T helper (Th) axis, especially Th17, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of several inflammatory/infectious granulomatous cutaneous diseases, but its role in GMF is still not elucidated to date. In this study, we evaluated the immunohistochemical expression of Th1 (Tbet), Th2 (GATA-3), Th17 (RORγT), T regulatory (Foxp3), and immune checkpoint (IC) (PD-1 and PD-L1) markers in a cohort of patients with GMF and MF with large cell transformation (MFLCT).

Major clinical risk factors for melanoma include fair skin, an increased number of nevi, the presence of dysplastic nevi, and a family history of melanoma. However, several external inducers seem to be associated with melanoma susceptibility such as environmental exposure, primarily unprotected sun experience, alcohol consumption, and heavy metals.

However, a considerable proportion of patients are refractory to treatment, particularly at advanced stages. This underscores the necessity of developing a new strategy to improve it. Alternative polyadenylation (APA), as a marker of crucial posttranscriptional regulation, has emerged as a major new type of epigenetic marker involved in tumorigenesis. However, the potential roles of APA in shaping the tumor microenvironment (TME) are largely unexplored. Herein, we collected two cohorts comprising melanoma patients who received immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) immunotherapy to quantify transcriptome-wide discrepancies in APA. We observed a global change in 3'-UTRs between responders and non-responders, which might involve DNA damage response, angiogenesis, PI3K-AKT signaling pathways, etc. Ten putative master APA regulatory factors for those APA events were detected via a network analysis. Notably, we established an immune response-related APA scoring system (IRAPAss), which exhibited a great performance of predicting immunotherapy response in multiple cohorts. Furthermore, we examined the correlation of APA with TME at the single-cell level using four single-cell immune profiles of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), which revealed an overall discrepancy in 3'-UTR length across diverse T cell populations, probably contributing to immunoregulation in melanoma. In conclusion, our study provides a transcriptional landscape of APA implicated in immunoregulation, which might lay the foundation for developing a new strategy for improving immunotherapy response for melanoma patients by targeting APA."

Over the past three decades, its immunotherapeutic properties have been tested on a variety of autoimmune conditions, including many dermatologic diseases. There is ample evidence of ECP's ability to modify leukocytes and alter cytokine production for certain dermatologic diseases that have been refractory to first-line treatments, such as atopic dermatitis. However, the evidence on the efficacy of ECP for the treatment of these dermatologic diseases is unclear and/or lacks sufficient evidence.

In this study, we delved into the underlying mechanisms of specific BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (imatinib, nilotinib, ZM-306416, and AT-9283) in human melanoma A375P cells. We first evaluated the influence of these inhibitors on cell growth using cell proliferation and wound-healing assays. Subsequently, we scrutinized cell cycle regulation in drug-treated A375P cells using flow cytometry and Western blot assays. Notably, imatinib, nilotinib, ZM-306416, and AT-9283 significantly reduced cell proliferation and migration in A375P cells. In particular, nilotinib and AT-9283 impeded the G1/S transition of the cell cycle by down-regulating cell cycle-associated proteins, including cyclin E, cyclin A, and CDK2. Moreover, these inhibitors reduced RB phosphorylation, subsequently inhibiting E2F transcriptional activity. Consequently, the expression of the E2F target genes ("

Dendritic cells (DCs) are myeloid immune cells occurring as two types, either conventional or plasmacytoid DCs. Recently, we showed that the expression of NKL-subclass homeobox gene VENTX is restricted to conventional DCs, regulating developmental genes. Here, we identified and investigated homeobox genes specifically expressed in plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) and derived blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). We analyzed gene expression data, performed RQ-PCR, protein analyses by Western blot and immuno-cytology, siRNA-mediated knockdown assays and subsequent RNA-sequencing and live-cell imaging. Screening of public gene expression data revealed restricted activity of the CUT-class homeobox gene CUX2 in pDCs. An extended analysis of this homeobox gene class in myelopoiesis showed that additional CUX2 activity was restricted to myeloid progenitors, while BPDCN patients aberrantly expressed ONECUT2, which remained silent in the complete myeloid compartment. ONECUT2 expressing BPDCN cell line CAL-1 served as a model to investigate its regulation and oncogenic activity. The ONECUT2 locus at 18q21 was duplicated and activated by IRF4, AUTS2 and TNF-signaling and repressed by BMP4-, TGFb- and IL13-signalling. Functional analyses of ONECUT2 revealed the inhibition of pDC differentiation and of CDKN1C and CASP1 expression, while SMAD3 and EPAS1 were activated. EPAS1 in turn enhanced survival under hypoxic conditions which thus may support dendritic tumor cells residing in hypoxic skin lesions. Collectively, we revealed physiological and aberrant activities of CUT-class homeobox genes in myelopoiesis including pDCs and in BPDCN, respectively. Our data may aid in the diagnosis of BPDCN patients and reveal novel therapeutic targets for this fatal malignancy."

In doing so, we assessed markers of cell viability, apoptotic induction, and expression levels of key proteins capable of mediating the therapeutic response. Our data indicated, for the first time, that Tazemetostat caused a significant decrease in viability levels of malignant melanoma cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner via the induction of apoptosis, while non-malignant keratinocytes were more resistant. Moreover, combinatorial treatment protocols caused a further decrease in cell viability, together with higher apoptotic rates. In addition, a significant reduction in the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) members [e.g., Enhancer of Zeste Homologue 2 (EZH2), Embryonic Ectoderm Development (EED), and suppressor of zeste 12 (SUZ12)] and tri-methylating lysine 27 at Histone 3 (H3K27me3) protein expression levels was observed, at least partially, under specific combinatorial exposure conditions. Reactivation of major apoptotic gene targets was determined at much higher levels in combinatorial treatment protocols than Tazemetostat alone, known to be involved in the induction of intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis. Overall, we developed an optimized experimental therapeutic platform aiming to ensure the therapeutic effectiveness of Tazemetostat in malignant melanoma while at the same time minimizing toxicity against neighboring non-tumorigenic keratinocyte cells."

EVs, including exosomes, are integral to carcinogenesis, and are found in NMSC releasing mediators impacting tumor progression. Nevertheless, the precise intercellular signaling role of NMSC-derived EVs remains unclear. This review aims to elucidate their potential role in NMSC diagnosis and treatment. This systematic review encompassed literature searches in electronic databases from inception to September 2023, based on certain inclusion and exclusion criteria, addressing NMSC-derived EVs, their molecular cargo, and their implications in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of NMSC. Key components were identified. Extracellular vesicle (EV) proteins and RNA have emerged as diagnostic biomarkers in EV-based liquid biopsy. Circular RNA CYP24A1, known for its molecular stability, holds promise as a diagnostic biomarker. Long noncoding RNAs (lincRNA-PICSAR) and Desmoglein 2 (DSg2) are linked to drug resistance, serving as prognostic biomarkers.

We previously demonstrated that an age-related decrease in the secreted extracellular matrix (ECM) protein HAPLN1 has a role in slowing melanoma progression. Here we show that HAPLN1 in the dermal ECM is sufficient to maintain the integrity of melanoma-associated blood vessels, as indicated by increased collagen and VE-cadherin expression. Specifically, we show that HAPLN1 in the ECM increases hyaluronic acid and decreases endothelial cell expression of ICAM1. ICAM1 phosphorylates and internalizes VE-cadherin, a critical determinant of vascular integrity, resulting in permeable blood vessels. We found that blocking ICAM1 reduces tumor size and metastasis in older mice. These results suggest that HAPLN1 alters endothelial ICAM1expression in an indirect, matrix-dependent manner. Targeting ICAM1 could be a potential treatment strategy for older patients with melanoma, emphasizing the role of aging in tumorigenesis."

We studied patients at Jordan University Hospital's general dermatology and cosmetic clinics from July to September 2022, comparing them to healthy controls. Patients with dermatologic conditions were evaluated per the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) criteria by trained dermatologists. All participants completed the Dysmorphic Concerns Questionnaire (DCQ), Perceived Stress Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire-2, General Anxiety Disorder Assessment tool-2. We assessed BDD prevalence using four DCQ cutoffs: 9, 11, 14, and 17, reporting effect sizes as odds ratios (OR). Our study involved 1500 participants, with an average age of 29.3 (± 14.8) years and a female-to-male ratio of 3.15-to-1. At the 9, 11, 14, and 17 DCQ cutoffs, BDD prevalence was 78.2%, 54.2%, 26.5%, and 11.7%, respectively. Patients with dermatologic concerns were more likely to exhibit clinical BDD symptoms than controls at the 11-cutoff (OR: 1.26; 95% CI 1.01-1.58; p < 0.05). Conversely, those with cosmetic concerns were more prone to clinical BDD than controls at cutoffs 9 (OR: 2.26; 95% CI 1.28-3.97; p < 0.05) and 11 (OR: 1.50; 95% CI 1.03-2.20; p < 0.05). Our logistic regression revealed consistent associations between higher DCQ scores and elevated anxiety, depression, perceived skin disease-related stigma, and reduced quality of life (p < 0.05). In conclusion, patients with dermatologic issues and those seeking cosmetic procedures are at significant risk of developing BDD, necessitating proactive screening and referrals for specialized care by dermatologists due to the associated psychological distress and unproductive consultations. Providing specialized training for healthcare professionals to establish an integrated care approach to address the needs of patients with BDD should be the focus of future research projects."
+7030,skin cancer,38472212,The MITF/mir-579-3p regulatory axis dictates BRAF-mutated melanoma cell fate in response to MAPK inhibitors.,"Therapy of melanoma has improved dramatically over the last years thanks to the development of targeted therapies (MAPKi) and immunotherapies. However, drug resistance continues to limit the efficacy of these therapies. Our research group has provided robust evidence as to the involvement of a set of microRNAs in the development of resistance to target therapy in BRAF-mutated melanomas. Among them, a pivotal role is played by the oncosuppressor miR-579-3p. Here we show that miR-579-3p and the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) influence reciprocally their expression through positive feedback regulatory loops. In particular we show that miR-579-3p is specifically deregulated in BRAF-mutant melanomas and that its expression levels mirror those of MITF. Luciferase and ChIP studies show that MITF is a positive regulator of miR-579-3p, which is located in the intron 11 of the human gene ZFR (Zink-finger recombinase) and is co-transcribed with its host gene. Moreover, miR-579-3p, by targeting BRAF, is able to stabilize MITF protein thus inducing its own transcription. From biological points of view, early exposure to MAPKi or, alternatively miR-579-3p transfection, induce block of proliferation and trigger senescence programs in BRAF-mutant melanoma cells. Finally, the long-term development of resistance to MAPKi is able to select cells characterized by the loss of both miR-579-3p and MITF and the same down-regulation is also present in patients relapsing after treatments. Altogether these findings suggest that miR-579-3p/MITF interplay potentially governs the balance between proliferation, senescence and resistance to therapies in BRAF-mutant melanomas."

+7037,skin cancer,29494046,Basal Cell Carcinoma,"Basal cell carcinoma (BCC), previously known as basal cell epithelioma, is the most common cancer in Humans. BCC mostly arises on sun-damaged skin and rarely develops on the mucous membranes or palms and soles. Basal cell carcinoma is usually a slow-growing tumor for which metastases are rare. Although rarely fatal, BCC can be highly destructive and disfigure local tissues when treatment is inadequate or delayed. On clinical examination, BCC usually appears as flesh- or pink-colored, pearly papules with overlying ulceration or telangiectatic vessels. BCC occurs on the head or neck in the majority of cases, but can involve the trunk and extremities. More than 26 different subtypes of BCC appear in the literature, but the more common, distinctive, clinicopathologic types include: nodular, micronodular, superficial, morpheaform, infiltrative and fibroepithelial (also known as fibroepithelioma of Pinkus). Combinations of these types can occur as well. The majority of BCCs are amelanotic, but variable amounts of melanin may be present within these tumors. The current mainstay of BCC treatment involves surgical modalities such as excision, electrodesiccation and curettage (EDC), cryosurgery, and Mohs micrographic surgery. Such methods are typically reserved for localized BCC and offer high 5-year cure rates, generally over 95%. "

The study aimed to evaluate tumor distribution, size, morphological subtypes, surgical outcomes, radicality levels, and their correlation with recurrence rates. A retrospective analysis encompassed 343 cases of nasal skin cancer over a four-year period from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2022. The research cohort comprised 252 female and 91 male participants, averaging 75.2 years old. Tumors were most found on the left sidewall of the nose (25.4%) and the dorsum (24.8%). The infiltrative morphological subtype was predominant (70.8%). Standard surgical excision with fasciocutaneous plastic was the preferred surgical procedure. Radical excision, defined by the absence of tumor cells in a resection margin, was accomplished in 79.0% of lesions, whereas 16.9% demonstrated incomplete excision, signifying the presence of tumor cells in the resection margin. Non-radically excised tumors exhibited a significantly higher recurrence rate (24.1%) compared to those with radical excision (6.3%). In nasal reconstruction, diverse surgical techniques are essential for precise adaptation based on factors like tumor characteristics and patient needs. Despite surgeons' careful adherence to excision margin guidelines, the possibility of non-radical outcome cannot be eliminated."

Hence, our objective was to examine the genetic impact of the gut microbiota on melanoma through the utilization of the Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. This research employed Bacteroides, Streptococcus, Proteobacteria, and Lachnospiraceae as exposure variables and cutaneous melanoma (CM) as the outcome in a two-sample MR analysis. In this MR research, the primary analytical approach was the random-effects inverse-variance weighting (IVW) model. Complementary methods included weighted median, MR Egger, and basic and weighted models. We assessed both heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy in our study, scrutinizing whether the analysis results were affected by any individual SNP. The random-effects IVW outcomes indicated that Streptococcus, Bacteroides, Lachnospiraceae and Proteobacteria had no causal relationship with CM, with odds ratios of 1.001 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.998-1.004, P  = 0.444], 0.999 (95% CI = 0.996-1.002, P  = 0.692), 1.001 (95% CI = 0.998-1.003, P  = 0.306), and 0.999 (95% CI = 0.997-1.002, P  = 0.998), respectively. No analyses exhibited heterogeneity, horizontal pleiotropy, or deviations. Our research determined that Bacteroides, Streptococcus, Proteobacteria, and Lachnospiraceae do not induce CM at the genetic level. However, we cannot dismiss the possibility that these four gut microbiotas might influence CM through other mechanisms."

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) showed a hypoechoic mass originated from the mucosal layer. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a circular pedunculated and slightly low-density mass with mild enhancement in the stomach cavity. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was performed. Postoperative histopathology examination revealed the tumor was composed of proliferated spindle cells with eosinophil infiltration which were around small blood vessels and mucosal glands arranged in an ""onion-skin"" appearance. Immunohistochemical analysis of the spindle cells showed CD34 was positive and CD117, S100, DOG-1, SMA, Desmin were negative.

A qualitative study to inform future measurement of health-related quality of life.,"Metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM) is a rare cancer with poor prognosis, but novel treatments are emerging. Currently, there are no mUM-specific health-related quality of life (HRQL) questionnaires available for clinical research. We aimed to explore how mUM and its treatment affect HRQL and assess the content validity of existing questionnaires. Participants were patients with mUM and healthcare professionals involved in their care. Qualitative data were collected using semi-structured interviews and focus groups. Data collection and analysis used an integrative approach involving inductive questions/coding to elicit new concepts and deductive questions/coding based on domains of existing HRQL questionnaires. Initial interviews/focus groups focussed on HRQL questionnaires designed for patients with uveal melanoma or liver metastases. As new concepts were elicited, domains and items from other questionnaires were subsequently added. Seventeen patients and 16 clinicians participated. HRQL concerns assessed by uveal melanoma-specific questionnaires were largely resolved by the time of metastasis. The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Immunotherapy Module (FACT-ICM) adequately captured most immunotherapy-related side effects during initial treatment cycles. However, most patients emphasised emotional impacts over physical ones, focussing on the existential threat posed by disease amidst uncertainty about treatment accessibility and effectiveness. Patients were also concerned with treatment burden, including time commitment, travel, need for hospitalisation, and expenses. The relative importance of HRQL issues varied over time and across treatment modalities, with no single questionnaire being sufficient. Pending further development and psychometric testing, clinical researchers may need to take a modular approach to measuring the HRQL impacts of mUM."
+7049,skin cancer,38469735,Comparative transcriptomic analysis reveals differences in gene expression and regulatory pathways between nonacral and acral melanoma in Asian individuals.,"Melanoma predominantly occurs in White individuals, which is associated with factors such as exposure to UV radiation and skin pigmentation. Despite its low incidence, melanoma is the primary cause of skin cancer-related death in Asia, typically in areas with low sun exposure. In our previous whole-exome sequencing study, we identified mutational signature 12 as the most prevalent variant in Asian patients, differing from the common UV-associated mutational signature 7 observed in White individuals. We also observed major differences between acral melanoma (AM) and nonacral melanoma (NAM) in terms of signatures 7, 21, and 22. Notably, few studies have investigated the genomic differences between AM and NAM in Asian individuals. Therefore, in this study, we conducted transcriptomic sequencing to examine the disparities in RNA expression between AM and NAM. Ribosomal RNA depletion was performed to enhance the detection of functionally relevant coding and noncoding transcripts. Ingenuity pathway analysis revealed significant differences in gene expression and regulatory pathways between AM and NAM. The results also indicate that the genes involved in cell cycle signaling or immune modulation and programmed cell death protein 1/programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 signaling were differentially expressed in NAM and AM. In addition, high CDK4 expression and cell cycle variability were observed in AM, with high immunogenicity in NAM. Overall, these findings provide further insights into the pathogenesis of melanoma and serve as a reference for future research on this major malignant disease."

We present a unique case of primary cutaneous apocrine carcinoma harboring RARA::NPEPPS fusion, broadening the spectrum of fusion-associated cutaneous adnexal neoplasms. A 77-year-old African American male presented with an ulcerated thigh nodule. Histopathologically, the predominantly dermal-based adenocarcinoma exhibited papillary, micropapillary, cribriform, and solid growth patterns with central comedonecrosis, set in a fibrotic/desmoplastic stroma. Immunophenotypically, the neoplastic cells were positive for CK7, CK19, GATA3, TRPS1, HER2, CK5/6, calretinin, p63, and DPC4 (no loss), while lacking immunoreactivity for CK20, CDX2, TTF1, napsin-A, PAX8, arginase-1, adipophilin, NKX3.1, uroplakin II, and D2-40. The immunoprofile and clinical and radiographic absence of any internal malignancy, including breast carcinoma, except for multiple lymphadenopathy, supported the diagnosis of primary cutaneous apocrine carcinoma. Next-generation sequencing unveiled the novel RARA::NPEPPS fusion, concurrent ERBB2 amplification, and multiple somatic mutations involving TP53, CDKN2A, BRCA2, PIK3CA, PIK3R1, and others. The patient developed widespread metastases within a year after the initial diagnosis, indicating the tumor's aggressive behavior. This novel fusion, unprecedented in any human malignancies including primary cutaneous adnexal carcinomas, may suggest a potential new subtype within primary cutaneous adnexal carcinoma."

Traditional therapies for melanoma can easily cause drug resistance, thus the treatment of melanoma remains a challenge. Various studies have focused on reversing the drug resistance. As tumors grow and progress, cancer cells face a constantly changing microenvironment made up of different nutrients, metabolites, and cell types. Multiple studies have shown that metabolic reprogramming of cancer is not static, but a highly dynamic process. There is a growing interest in exploring the relationship between melanoma andmetabolic reprogramming, one of which may belipid metabolism. This review frames the recent research progresses on lipid metabolism in melanoma.In addition, we emphasize the dynamic ability of metabolism during tumorigenesis as a target for improving response to different therapies and for overcoming drug resistance in melanoma."

In this study, we described a cohort of 7 distinctive melanocytic tumors characterized by activating point mutations in codon 61 of NRAS with amplification of the mutant NRAS allele and shared clinicopathologic features. These tumors occurred predominantly in younger patients, with a median age of 20 years (range, 6-56 years). They presented as papules on the helix of the ear (4 cases) or extremities (3 cases). Microscopically, the tumors were cellular, relatively well-circumscribed, compound, or intradermal proliferations. The tumor cells often extended into the deep reticular dermis and involved the superficial subcutaneous fat in some cases. The melanocytes were epithelioid to spindled with moderate amounts of cytoplasm and conspicuous nucleoli. They were arranged in short plexiform fascicles, nests, and cords. Some cases had occasional pleomorphic and multinucleated melanocytes. Rare dermal mitotic figures were present in all cases. The dermis contained thick collagen bundles and minimal solar elastosis. Follow-up data were available for 5 patients, with a median period of 4.2 years (range, 1-9 years), during which no recurrences or metastases were reported. Our series highlights a clinicopathologically and molecularly distinctive subset of NRAS-mutated tumors with amplification of the mutant NRAS allele."

Segmental schwannomatosis is defined as being limited to one limb or five or fewer contiguous segments of the spine. We report a case of a 20-year-old male with the painful masses of the left upper extremity with associated numbness and paresthesia in the ulnar nerve distribution. The high-frequency ultrasound showed that the ulnar nerve fascicles were enlarged and expanded with beadlike growth. The patient underwent surgery twice and all the tumors were pathologically confirmed to be schwannomas. Together, the medical history, imaging, and pathology findings indicated the diagnosis of segmental schwannomatosis. By the imaging diagnostic tools, MRI is the most commonly used in assistance with diagnosis of segmental schwannomatosis while high-frequency ultrasonography is rare.

Recently, we reported that exposure to benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), a common PAH, causes epigenetic and metabolic alterations in the initiation, promotion and progression of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). As a follow-up investigation, this study examines how dietary triterpenoid ursolic acid (UA) regulates B[a]P-driven epigenetic and metabolic pathways in SKH-1 hairless mice. Our results show UA intercepts against B[a]P-induced tumorigenesis at different stages of NMSC. Epigenomic cytosines followed by guanine residues (CpG) methyl-seq data showed UA diminished B[a]P-mediated differentially methylated regions (DMRs) profiles. Transcriptomic RNA-seq revealed UA revoked B[a]P-induced differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of skin cancer-related genes, such as leucine-rich repeat LGI family member 2 (Lgi2) and kallikrein-related peptidase 13 (Klk13), indicating UA plays a vital role in B[a]P-mediated gene regulation and its potential consequences in NMSC interception. Association analysis of DEGs and DMRs found that the mRNA expression of KLK13 gene was correlated with the promoter CpG methylation status in the early-stage comparison group, indicating UA could regulate the KLK13 by modulating its promoter methylation at an early stage of NMSC. The metabolomic study showed UA alters B[a]P-regulated cancer-associated metabolisms like thiamin metabolism, ascorbate and aldarate metabolism during the initiation phase; pyruvate, citrate and thiamin metabolism during the promotion phase; and beta-alanine and pathothenate coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthesis during the late progression phase. Taken together, UA reverses B[a]P-driven epigenetic, transcriptomic and metabolic reprogramming, potentially contributing to the overall cancer interception against B[a]P-mediated NMSC."

To describe the disease characteristics and estimate annual incidence rates (IRs) and temporal trends of PCLs and their subtypes in Attica, Greece. A retrospective analysis of all PCL patients, diagnosed in Attica's main haemopathology referral centre from 2009 to 2021, was conducted. In total, 1,189 patients were included; 725 males and 464 females (males__females=1.56). The median age at diagnosis was 62 years. The annual IR was 2.2 new cases per 100,000 individuals. Most patients (n=979, 82.3%) were diagnosed with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) with a crude IR of 1.8 new cases per 100,000 person-years. Mycosis fungoides (MF) was the most common subtype (n=817, 68.7%), followed by lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) (n=59, 5.0%). The crude IR for MF was 1.5 new cases per 100,000 person-years. Cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (CBCLs) accounted for 17.6% (n=210) of all PCLs (IR: 0.4 new cases per 100,000 person-years). PCL, CTCL and MF incidence rates increased from 2009 to 2019, followed by a decrease in 2020-2021. The incidence rate of CBCL increased steadily during the study period. The annual IRs of PCL in Greece were higher than those reported in other studies from Europe, America and Asia. The increase in IRs from 2009 to 2019 may reflect physicians' improved diagnostic efficiency. The COVID-19 pandemic may be the reason for the decline in PCL, CTCL and MF diagnoses from 2020 to 2021."

One of its variants manifests with multiple purpuric eruptions, mimicking benign pigmented purpuric dermatosis (PPD). To investigate clinicopathological features of PPD-like MF patients. We report four PPD-like MF cases and summarize the clinicopathological features described in reports of nine PPD-like MF cases published in the past 20 years. Compared with benign PPD, petechial lesions in PPD-like MF are more generalized, persistent, and resistant to conventional steroid treatment. Histologically, a superficial dermal band-like infiltrate of atypical lymphocytes with epidermotropism seems to be the most common feature of PPD-like MF. A lymphoid phenotype of CD4+ CD7- T cells and a monoclonal T-cell profile, demonstrated by T-cell receptor gene arrangement analysis, favour a diagnosis of PPD-like MF. Although the exact relationship between PPD and PPD-like MF remains unclear, our study has attached importance to the differential diagnosis of the two diseases in cases of overlooked MF variants. If persistent or generalized purpuric lesions are present, PPD-like MF should be taken into consideration. A thorough physical examination combined with pathological findings may lead to a correct diagnosis."

Under ideal circumstances, EB patients benefit from interdisciplinary care teams who can offer state-of-the-art treatments. In reality and particularly in less-developed nations, care can be limited. In all cases, families dealing with a member with EB face great challenges in caregiving, much of which is managed at home, and incur great financial expenses for dressings, equipment, transportation, and out-of-pocket expenses. While research groups are working to find a cure for EB, clinicians working with EB patients around the world have found practical and relatively inexpensive tips to make life easier for people with EB. NoBabyBlisters.org, a nonprofit organization actively supplying monthly medical supplies for EB children on five continents and working on EB research, has innovated, developed, collected, and now offers here seven such practical and actionable items learned from its experience in the real world assisting children in less-developed nations, typically with hot climates.

Molecular differences between brain and extracranial melanoma metastases are poorly understood. Here, promoter methylation and gene expression of 11 heterogeneous patient-matched pairs of brain and extracranial metastases were analyzed using melanoma-specific gene regulatory networks learned from public transcriptome and methylome data followed by network-based impact propagation of patient-specific alterations. This innovative data analysis strategy allowed to predict potential impacts of patient-specific driver candidate genes on other genes and pathways. The patient-matched metastasis pairs clustered into three robust subgroups with specific downstream targets with known roles in cancer, including melanoma (SG1: "

However, little is known about the physiological basis for this function. Here we show that the thermal properties of skin are highly reactive to diet: within three days, a high fat diet reduces heat transfer through skin. In contrast, a dietary manipulation that prevents obesity accelerates energy loss through skins. We found that skin was the largest target in a mouse body for dietary fat delivery, and that dietary triglyceride was assimilated both by epidermis and by dermal white adipose tissue. Skin from mice calorie-restricted for 3 weeks did not take up circulating lipids and showed a highly depleted stratum corneum. Dietary triglyceride acyl groups persist in skin for weeks after feeding. Using multi-modal lipid profiling, we have implicated both keratinocytes and sebocytes in the altered lipids which correlate with thermal function. In response to high fat feeding, wax diesters and ceramides accumulate, and triglycerides become more saturated. In contrast, in response to the dramatic loss of adipose tissue that accompanies restriction of the branched chain amino acid isoleucine, skin becomes more heat-permeable, resisting changes induced by Western diet feeding, with a signature of depleted signaling lipids. We propose that skin should be routinely included in physiological studies of lipid metabolism, given the size of the skin lipid reservoir and its adaptable functionality."

Early diagnosis is crucial for successful treatment, as the disease becomes more challenging to cure as it progresses. However, identifying new drugs, achieving clinical success, and overcoming drug resistance remain significant challenges. To overcome these obstacles and provide effective treatment, it is crucial to understand the causes of skin cancer, how cells grow and divide, factors that affect cell growth, and how drug resistance occurs. In this review, we have explained various therapeutic approaches for SC treatment via ligands, targeted photosensitizers, natural and synthetic drugs for the treatment of SC, an epigenetic approach for management of melanoma, photodynamic therapy, and targeted therapy for BRAF-mutated melanoma. This article also provides a detailed summary of the various natural drugs that are effective in managing melanoma and reducing the occurrence of skin cancer at early stages and focuses on the current status and future prospects of various therapies available for the management of skin cancer."

Less is known about use of dihydroxyacetone-containing products used for tanning (also known as ""sunless tanning""). We analyzed data from the 2015 National Health Interview Survey. Analysis was limited to non-Hispanic White women ages 18-49 years. We estimated the proportion of women reporting spray tanning, self-applied lotion tanning, and indoor tanning and used weighted multivariable logistic regression models to examine the relationships between socio-demographic characteristics, skin cancer risk factors, and other cancer risk factors with sunless and indoor tanning. Overall, 17.7% of women reported sunless tanning. Lotion tanning was more common (15.3%) than spray tanning (6.8%), while 12.0% of women engaged in indoor tanning. Among sunless tanners, 23.7% also engaged in indoor tanning. Younger age, ever having a skin exam, skin reactions to the sun, binge drinking, and being at a healthy weight were associated with sunless tanning. While sunless tanning may be less harmful for skin cancer risk than indoor tanning, the frequency with which the two behaviors co-occur suggests that efforts to address societal pressures for women to alter their skin color may have important public health benefits."

Using a novel in vitro model of fibrosis based on endogenously produced extracellular matrix, we screened an FDA-approved compound library and identified antivirals as a class of drug not previously associated with anti-fibrotic action. Preclinical validation of our lead hit, daclatasvir, in a mouse model of RDEB demonstrated significant improvement in fibrosis as well as overall quality of life with increased survival, weight gain and activity, and a decrease in pruritus-induced hair loss. Immunohistochemical assessment of daclatasvir-treated RDEB mouse skin showed a reduction in fibrotic markers, which was supported by in vitro data demonstrating TGFβ pathway targeting and a reduction of total collagen retained in the extracellular matrix. Our data support the clinical development of antivirals for the treatment of patients with RDEB and potentially other fibrotic diseases."

Apical chest wall tumors require large skin incisions and dissection of the chest wall muscles, making it difficult to maintain cosmetic appearance, respiratory function, and support of the upper extremity. There are few treatment options and no studies have reported on thoracotomy that spares muscles and preserves cosmetic superiority. However, in benign chest wall tumors in young patients, it is necessary to consider radicality, cosmetic superiority, and muscle sparing.

Converting resistant tumors to immunotherapy sensitive will provide a significant improvement in patient outcome. Here we identify Mi-2β as a key melanoma-intrinsic effector regulating the adaptive anti-tumor immune response. Studies in genetically engineered mouse melanoma models indicate that loss of Mi-2β rescues the immune response to immunotherapy in vivo. Mechanistically, ATAC-seq analysis shows that Mi-2β controls the accessibility of IFN-γ-stimulated genes (ISGs). Mi-2β binds to EZH2 and promotes K510 methylation of EZH2, subsequently activating the trimethylation of H3K27 to inhibit the transcription of ISGs. Finally, we develop an Mi-2β-targeted inhibitor, Z36-MP5, which reduces Mi-2β ATPase activity and reactivates ISG transcription. Consequently, Z36-MP5 induces a response to immune checkpoint inhibitors in otherwise resistant melanoma models. Our work provides a potential therapeutic strategy to convert immunotherapy resistant melanomas to sensitive ones."

A survey of the reported literature methodologies.,"Prolidase (EC.3.4.13.9) is a dipeptidase known nowadays to play a pivotal role in several physiological and pathological processes. More in particular, this enzyme is involved in the cleavage of proline- and hydroxyproline-containing dipeptides (imidodipeptides), thus finely regulating the homeostasis of free proline and hydroxyproline. Abnormally high or low levels of prolidase have been found in numerous acute and chronic syndromes affecting humans (chronic liver fibrosis, viral and acute hepatitis, cancer, neurological disorders, inflammation, skin diseases, intellectual disability, respiratory infection, and others) for which the content of proline is well recognized as a clinical marker. As a consequence, the accurate analytical determination of prolidase activity is of greatly significant importance in clinical diagnosis and therapy. Apart from the Chinard's assay, some other more sensitive and well validated methodologies have been published. These include colorimetric and spectrophotometric determinations of free proline produced by enzymatic reactions, capillary electrophoresis, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, electrochemoluminescence, thin layer chromatography, and HPLC. The aim of this comprehensive review is to make a detailed survey of the in so far reported analytical techniques, highlighting their general features, as well as their advantages and possible drawbacks, providing in the meantime suggestions to stimulate further research in this intriguing field."

Measuring skin age in a large population can provide insight into the extent of skin damage from sun exposure and skin cancer risk. Understanding the genetics of skin aging, within and across sexes (males and females), could improve our understanding of the genetic drivers of both skin aging and skin cancer. We used UK Biobank data to examine the genetic overlap between perceived youthfulness and traits relevant to actinic photoaging. Our GWAS identified 22 genome-wide significant loci for women and 43 for men. The genetic correlation (rg) between perceived youthfulness in men and women was significantly less than unity (rg = 0.75, 95% confidence interval = 0.69-0.80), suggesting a gene-by-sex interaction. In women, perceived youthfulness was modestly correlated with keratinocyte cancer (rg = -0.19) and skin tanning (rg = 0.18). In men, perceived youthfulness was correlated with male-pattern baldness (rg = -0.23). This suggests that the genetic architecture of perceived youthfulness may differ between sexes, with genes influencing skin tanning and skin cancer susceptibility driving the difference in women, whereas genes influencing male-pattern baldness and other puberty-related traits drive the difference in men. We recommend that future genetic analysis of skin aging include a sex-stratified component."

Distinction of the 2 diseases based on histopathology alone might be challenging. Copy number alterations (CNAs) have scarcely been explored on a genome-wide scale in PCFCL; however, they might serve as potential biomarkers during differential diagnosis and risk stratification. Low-coverage whole-genome sequencing is a robust, high-throughput method for genome-wide copy number profiling. In this study, we analyzed 28 PCFCL samples from 20 patients and compared the copy number profiles with a cohort of diagnostic samples of 64 nFL patients. Although the copy number profile of PCFCL was similar to that of nFL, PCFCL lacked amplifications of 18q, with the frequency peaking at 18q21.33 in nFL cases involving the BCL2 locus (PCFCL: 5.0% vs nFL: 31.3%, P = .018, Fisher exact test). Development of distant cutaneous spread was significantly associated with higher genomic instability including the proportion of genome altered (0.02 vs 0.13, P = .033) and number of CNAs (2 vs 9 P = .017), as well as the enrichment of 2p22.2-p15 amplification involving REL and XPO1 (6.3% vs 60.0%, P = .005), 3q23-q24 amplification (0.0% vs 50.0%, P = .004), 6q16.1-q23.3 deletion (6.3% vs 50.0%, P = .018), and 9p21.3 deletion covering CDKN2A and CDKN2B loci (0.0% vs 40.0%, P = .014, all Fisher exact test) in PCFCL. Analysis of sequential tumor samples in 2 cases harboring an unfavorable clinical course pointed to the acquisition of 2p amplification in the earliest common progenitor underlining its pivotal role in malignant transformation. By performing genome-wide copy number profiling on the largest patient cohort to date, we identified distinctive CNA alterations conceivably facilitating the differential diagnosis of PCFCL and secondary cutaneous involvement of nFL and potentially aiding the risk stratification of patients with PCFCL in the future."
+7112,skin cancer,38460665,The potential impact of nano- and microplastics on human health: Understanding human health risks.,"Plastics are used all over the world. Unfortunately, due to limited biodegradation, plastics cause a significant level of environmental pollution. The smallest recognized to date are termed nanoplastics (1 nm [nm] up to 1 μm [μm]) and microplastics (1 μm-5 mm). These nano- and microplastics can enter the human body through the respiratory system via inhalation, the digestive tract via consumption of contaminated food and water, or penetration through the skin via cosmetics and clothes contact. Bioaccumulation of plastics in the human body can potentially lead to a range of health issues, including respiratory disorders like lung cancer, asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis, neurological symptoms such as fatigue and dizziness, inflammatory bowel disease and even disturbances in gut microbiota. Most studies to date have confirmed that nano- and microplastics can induce apoptosis in cells and have genotoxic and cytotoxic effects. Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of plastics' actions may help extrapolate the risks to humans. The article provides a comprehensive review of articles in databases regarding the impact of nano- and microplastics on human health. The review included retrospective studies and case reports of people exposed to nanoplastics and microplastics.

The aim of this study was to examine if there is a relationship between PMRT and microvascular perfusion and saturation in the skin after mastectomy and assess if there is impaired responsiveness to a topically applied vasodilator (Methyl nicotinate - MN). Skin microvascular perfusion and oxygenation >2 years after PMRT were measured using white light diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) in the irradiated chest wall of 31 women with the contralateral breast as a control. In the non-irradiated breast, the perfusion after application of MN (median 0.84, 25th-75th centile 0.59-1.02 % RBC × mm/s) was higher compared to the irradiated chest wall (median 0.51, 25th-75th centile 0.21-0.68 % RBC × mm/s, p < 0.001). The same phenomenon was noted for saturation (median 91 %, 25th-75th centile 89-94 % compared to 89 % 25th-75th centile 77-93 %, p = 0.001). Eight of the women (26%) had a ≥10 % difference in skin oxygenation between the non-irradiated breast and the irradiated chest wall. These results indicate that late microvascular changes caused by radiotherapy of the chest wall significantly affect skin perfusion and oxygenation."

Given that small-molecule compounds have been developed to target various clock proteins, we examined whether the cryptochrome inhibitor KS15 and REV-ERB antagonist SR8278 could modulate keratinocyte responses to UV radiation in vitro. We observed that though SR8278 promoted cell viability in UVB-irradiated cells, it had little effect on NER or on the expression of the clock-regulated NER factor XPA. Rather, we found that both KS15 and SR8278 absorb light within the UV spectrum to limit initial UV photoproduct formation in DNA. Moreover, SR8278 promoted UVB viability even in cells in which the core circadian clock protein BMAL1 was disrupted, which indicates that SR8278 is likely acting via other REV-ERB transcriptional targets. We further observed that SR8278 sensitized keratinocytes to light sources containing primarily UVA wavelengths of light likely due to the generation of toxic reactive oxygen species. Though other studies have demonstrated beneficial effects of SR8278 in other model systems, our results here suggest that SR8278 has limited utility for UV photoprotection in the skin and will likely cause phototoxicity in humans or mammals exposed to solar radiation."

Despite promising clinical results, many patients fail to respond to these therapies. BH3 mimetics, a novel class of small molecule inhibitors that bind and inhibit anti-apoptotic members of the BCL2 family proteins such as BCL2 or MCL1, have been very successful in treating hematologic malignancies. However, there are limited studies on the immunomodulatory role of the BH3 mimetics. Several factors contribute to ICI resistance including myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) that exert immunosuppressive effects through direct and indirect inhibition of antitumor immunity. Thus, targeting MDSCs to enhance antitumor immunity has the potential to enhance the efficacy of ICIs. In this study, we show that the MCL1 inhibitor S64315 reduces melanoma tumor growth in an immune cell-dependent manner in mice. Specifically, S64315 enhances antitumor immunity by reducing MDSC frequency and by promoting the activity of CD8+T cells. Additionally, human MDSCs are 10 times more sensitive to S64315 than cutaneous melanoma lines. Further, we found that a higher expression of MCL1 is associated with poor survival for patients treated with anti-PD-1. Finally, combining S64315 and anti-PD-1 significantly slowed tumor growth compared to either agent alone. Together, this proof-of-concept study demonstrates the potential of combining an MCL1 inhibitor with anti-PD-1 in the treatment of melanoma. It justifies the further development of next generation MCL1 inhibitors to improve efficacy of ICIs in treating malignant melanoma."

High schools are therefore an ideal setting for offering skin cancer preventive interventions. Yet, there are limited UVR protection interventions for high school students, especially those that are personalized, tested using randomized designs, and include long-term outcome assessment to determine the durability of intervention effects."

Exploring the molecular mechanisms governing melanoma progression paves the way for developing novel approaches to control melanoma metastasis and ultimately enhance patient survival rates. Extracellular galectin-3 (Gal-3) has emerged as a pleiotropic promoter of melanoma metastasis, exerting varying activities depending on its interacting partner. However, whether intracellular Gal-3 promotes melanoma aggressive behavior remains unknown. In this study, we explored Gal-3 expression in human melanoma tissues as well as in murine melanoma models to examine its causal role in metastatic behavior. We found that Gal-3 expression is downregulated in metastatic melanoma tissues compared with its levels in primary melanomas. Enforced silencing of Gal-3 in melanoma cells promoted migration, invasion, colony formation, in vivo xenograft growth, and metastasis and activated canonical oncogenic signaling pathways. Moreover, loss of Gal-3 in melanoma cells resulted in upregulated the expression of the prometastatic transcription factor NFAT1 and its downstream metastasis-associated proteins, matrix metalloproteinase 3, and IL-8. Overall, our findings implicate melanoma intracellular Gal-3 as a major determinant of its metastatic behavior and reveal a negative regulatory role for Gal-3 on the expression of NFAT1 in melanoma cells."
+7135,skin cancer,38458428,CASZ1 Is Essential for Skin Epidermal Terminal Differentiation.,"The barrier function of skin epidermis is crucial for our bodies to interface with the environment. Because epidermis continuously turns over throughout the lifetime, this barrier must be actively maintained by regeneration. Although several transcription factors have been established as essential activators in epidermal differentiation, it is unclear whether additional factors remain to be identified. In this study, we show that CASZ1, a multi zinc-finger transcription factor previously characterized in nonepithelial cell types, shows highest expression in skin epidermis. CASZ1 expression is upregulated during epidermal terminal differentiation. In addition, CASZ1 expression is impaired in several skin disorders with impaired barrier function, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and squamous cell carcinoma. Using transcriptome profiling coupled with RNA interference, we identified 674 differentially expressed genes with CASZ1 knockdown. Downregulated genes account for 91.2% of these differentially expressed genes and were enriched for barrier function. In organotypic epidermal regeneration, CASZ1 knockdown promoted proliferation and strongly impaired multiple terminal differentiation markers. Mechanistically, we found that CASZ1 upregulation in differentiation requires the action of both the master transcription factor, p63, and the histone acetyltransferase, p300. Taken together, our findings identify CASZ1 as an essential activator of epidermal differentiation, paving the way for future studies understanding of CASZ1 roles in skin disease."

This study aimed to synthesized ZnO nanoflowers coated with albumin to actively target and the inhibit skin melanoma cells. We synthesized bovine serum albumin (BSA)-coated ZnO nanoflowers (BSA@ZnO NFs) and evaluated it's in vitro and in vivo therapeutic efficacy for skin cancer cells. BSA@ZnO NFs were prepared via single-step reduction method in the presence of plant extract (Heliotropium indicum) act as a capping agent, and further the successful fabrication was established by various physico-chemical characterizations, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and x-rays diffraction (XRD) analysis. The fabricated BSA@ZnO NFs appeared flower like with multiple cone-shaped wings and average hydration size of 220.8 ± 12.6 nm. Further, BSA@ZnO NFs showed enhanced cellular uptake and cytocidal effects against skin cancer cells by inhibiting their growth via oxidative stress compared uncoated ZnO NFs. Moreover, BSA@ZnO NFs showed enhance biosafety, blood circulation time, tumor accumulation and in vivo tumor growth inhibition compared to ZnO NFs. In short, our findings suggesting BSA@ZnO NFs as a promising candidate for various types of cancer treatment along with chemotherapy."

However, these neoplasms can present diagnostic challenges because of their extensive differential diagnosis, which encompasses cutaneous metastasis among many other possibilities. We present a case of a 74-year-old man with a history of p16-positive palatine tonsil squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) treated with surgery and adjuvant radiation with no prior evidence of recurrence who presented to the dermatologist with 2 chin papules. The initial histopathologic evaluation of these lesions showed poorly differentiated malignant basaloid neoplasms. Subsequently, these biopsies were compared with the previous biopsies from his tonsil and lymph node, which showed similar findings including positive p16 staining and positive molecular testing for human papillomavirus-16, confirming the diagnosis of cutaneous metastasis from his previously diagnosed human papillomavirus-related tonsil SCC. Additional imaging studies found metastases to internal organs including the brain, and he was started on chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy. Cutaneous metastases from tonsil SCC are exceedingly rare, and only 5 cases have been described. Furthermore, this is the first case confirming the presence of high-risk human papillomavirus by molecular studies within the cutaneous metastases. The presented case underscores the importance of recognizing this unusual manifestation of tonsil SCC metastatic to the skin along with a good clinical patient history, ensuring accurate and prompt diagnosis and treatment of this condition."

Of the numerous TCR assays that have been reported, studies assessing use on biopsies suspicious for mycosis fungoides specifically are lacking. We compared clonality findings from a previously run 2-tube/2-fluorochrome dye assay to a redesigned 1-tube/1-fluorochrome dye assay on formalin-fixed skin biopsies. Overall, the accuracy of the 2-tube assay was marginally better (75.7% vs. 71.4%), when using clinical history combined with histologic diagnosis as the gold standard. The 2-tube assay had better sensitivity (73.7% vs. 65.8%), while the 1-tube assay had superior specificity (93.8% vs. 87.5%). Clonality results were easier to interpret with the 1-tube assay. In nearly 19% of cases, a change of assays on the same biopsy resulted in a change of clonality interpretation. For laboratories that change TCR-γ clonality assays, follow-up biopsies for mycosis fungoides assessment may result in a change of diagnosis."

The goal of our study was to prove with digital scanning and automated sample methodology through algorithmic analysis, combined with the utility of TOX marker a more precise, faster, and objective evaluation of each sample. Moreover, this would offer high levels of reproducibility with the possibility of establishing cut-off points, allowing us to distinguish between inflammatory dermatoses (ID) and MF. A retrospective longitudinal-descriptive and observational study was conducted to compare the diagnostic criteria (immunohistochemical studies of anti-TOX stain) in patients with clinical suspicion of MF by dividing them into 2 groups: samples with a positive biopsy for MF (MF group) and those with a negative biopsy, therefore diagnosed as an ID (control group). The algorithm assessed 5 selected areas with lymphocytic representative cellularity, and based on the intensity, nuclear staining was classified as 0 (negative), 1+ (weak/yellow), 2+ (moderate/orange), and 3+ (strong/scarlet red) nuclei. The results showed statistically significant differences ( P = 0.040) between the mean number of (2+) nuclei in the positive final diagnosis group (MF group) and the negative final diagnosis group (ID group)."

Febrile ulceronecrotic MHD (FUMHD) represents a severe variant of MHD, marked by ulcers, hemorrhagic bullae, and systemic symptoms. Herein, we report a case of a severely atypical lymphomatoid expression of FUMHD associated with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). A previously healthy 21-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with a rapidly progressive necrotic papular rash. Physical examination revealed right orbital swelling, bilateral hemorrhagic auricular bullae, and multiple ulcerative purpuric papulonodules on the trunk, face, and extremities. Biopsy indicated a dermal and subcutaneous infiltrate of atypical CD8 + lymphocytes with loss of CD5 and reduction in CD7 expression, along with features of lymphomatoid vasculitis. A diagnosis of a severely atypical lymphomatoid expression of FUMHD was made. The patient also met 7 of 9 HLH-2004 criteria, leading to a diagnosis of HLH. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography, flow cytometry, and rheumatologic workup were unremarkable. Treatment with an eight-week course of etoposide and dexamethasone for HLH led to rapid clinical improvement. Over time, her skin lesions regressed and eventually scabbed over to leave hyperpigmented scars, confirming the diagnosis of MHD. She has remained stable, off therapy for 4 years. Although potentially fatal, FUMHD often exhibits favorable outcomes and may resolve without recurrence, as in our patient. FUMHD should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with cutaneous CD8 + necrotizing angiocentric lymphoproliferative disease complicated by HLH."

+7156,skin cancer,38456369,Diagnosis and therapy of actinic keratosis.,"Actinic keratosis (AK) is considered a chronic and recurring in situ skin neoplasia, with a possible transformation into invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Among others, predominant risk factors for development of AK are UV-light exposure and immunosuppression. Basal epidermal keratinocyte atypia (AK I) and proliferation (PRO score) seem to drive malignant transformation, rather than clinical appearance of AK (Olsen I-III). Due to the invasiveness of punch biopsy, those histological criteria are not regularly assessed. Non-invasive imaging techniques, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) and line-field confocal OCT (LC-OCT) are helpful to distinguish complex cases of AK, Bowen's disease, and SCC. Moreover, LC-OCT can visualize the epidermis and the papillary dermis at cellular resolution, allowing real-time PRO score assessment. The decision-making for implementation of therapy is still based on clinical risk factors, ranging from lesion- to field-targeted and ablative to non-ablative regimens, but in approximately 85% of the cases a recurrence of AK can be observed after a 1-year follow-up. The possible beneficial use of imaging techniques for a non-invasive follow-up of AK to detect recurrence or invasive progression early on should be subject to critical evaluation in further studies."
+7157,skin cancer,38455854,The skin as a window to the gut: A case of carcinoid syndrome.,"Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are a group of uncommon neoplasms derived from enterochromaffin or Kulchitsky cells (that secrete serotonin or other molecules into the bloodstream), which can manifest with symptoms of hormonal overproduction, namely carcinoid syndrome (CS). This can be the presenting feature in patients with advanced disease. We report the case of a 66-year-old woman presenting with chronic diarrhea, facial venous telangiectasia and elevated urinary 5-hydrocyindoleacetic acid levels. A 68-Ga DOTATOC PET/CT scan revealed an ileal mass and lesions consistent with liver, ovary and bone metastasis. A liver biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of well-differentiated NET G1. Therapy with somatostatin analogs achieved symptom control, but the liver disease progressed and the patient passed away after 2 years of follow-up. The challenge of diagnosing CS resides in its heterogeneous manifestations, which may range from mild to life-threatening conditions. In this case, the cutaneous findings of venous telangiectasia strongly pointed to the correct diagnosis. Treatment can also be difficult due to refractory symptoms and inevitable progression of disease, highlighting the importance of early detection and thorough disease staging."
+7158,skin cancer,38455556,Revisiting luteolin: An updated review on its anticancer potential.,"Numerous natural products found in our diet, such as polyphenols and flavonoids, can prevent the progression of cancer. Luteolin, a natural flavone, present in significant amounts in various fruits and vegetables plays a key role as a chemopreventive agent in treating various types of cancer. By inducing apoptosis, initiating cell cycle arrest, and decreasing angiogenesis, metastasis, and cell proliferation, luteolin is used to treat cancer. Its anticancer properties are attributed to its capability to engage with multiple molecular targeted sites and modify various signaling pathways in tumor cells. Luteolin has been shown to slow the spread of cancer in breast, colorectal, lung, prostate, liver, skin, pancreatic, oral, and gastric cancer models. It exhibits antioxidant properties and can be given to patients receiving Doxorubicin (DOX) chemotherapy to prevent the development of unexpected adverse reactions in the lungs and hematopoietic system subjected to DOX. Furthermore, it could be an excellent candidate for synergistic studies to overcome drug resistance in cancer cells.

+7162,skin cancer,38454607,ANKRD22 promotes resolution of psoriasiform skin inflammation by antagonizing NIK-mediated IL-23 production.,"Inflammation resolution is an essential process for preventing the development of chronic inflammatory diseases. However, the mechanisms that regulate inflammation resolution in psoriasis are not well understood. Here, we report that ANKRD22 is an endogenous negative orchestrator of psoriasiform inflammation because ANKRD22-deficient mice are more susceptible to IMQ-induced psoriasiform inflammation. Mechanistically, ANKRD22 deficiency leads to excessive activation of the TNFRII-NIK-mediated noncanonical NF-κB signaling pathway, resulting in the hyperproduction of IL-23 in DCs. This is due to ANKRD22 being a negative feedback regulator for NIK because it physically binds to and assists in the degradation of accumulated NIK. Clinically, ANKRD22 is negatively associated with IL-23A expression and psoriasis severity. Of greater significance, subcutaneous administration of an AAV carrying ANKRD22-overexpression vector effectively hastens the resolution of psoriasiform skin inflammation. Our findings suggest ANKRD22, an endogenous supervisor of NIK, is responsible for inflammation resolution in psoriasis, and may be explored in the context of psoriasis therapy."

Combining genotype data for 11,220 5-year survivors from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study and the St Jude Lifetime Cohort, we found that cancer-specific polygenic risk scores (PRSs) derived from general population, genome-wide association study, cancer loci identified survivors of European ancestry at increased risk of subsequent basal cell carcinoma (odds ratio per s.d. of the PRS: OR = 1.37, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.29-1.46), female breast cancer (OR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.27-1.58), thyroid cancer (OR = 1.48, 95% CI = 1.31-1.67), squamous cell carcinoma (OR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.00-1.44) and melanoma (OR = 1.60, 95% CI = 1.31-1.96); however, the association for colorectal cancer was not significant (OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 0.94-1.52). An investigation of joint associations between PRSs and radiotherapy found more than additive increased risks of basal cell carcinoma, and breast and thyroid cancers. For survivors with radiotherapy exposure, the cumulative incidence of subsequent cancer by age 50 years was increased for those with high versus low PRS. These findings suggest a degree of shared genetic etiology for these malignancy types in the general population and survivors, which remains evident in the context of strong radiotherapy-related risk."
+7165,skin cancer,38453898,Ferroptosis in cancer: From molecular mechanisms to therapeutic strategies.,"Ferroptosis is a non-apoptotic form of regulated cell death characterized by the lethal accumulation of iron-dependent membrane-localized lipid peroxides. It acts as an innate tumor suppressor mechanism and participates in the biological processes of tumors. Intriguingly, mesenchymal and dedifferentiated cancer cells, which are usually resistant to apoptosis and traditional therapies, are exquisitely vulnerable to ferroptosis, further underscoring its potential as a treatment approach for cancers, especially for refractory cancers. However, the impact of ferroptosis on cancer extends beyond its direct cytotoxic effect on tumor cells. Ferroptosis induction not only inhibits cancer but also promotes cancer development due to its potential negative impact on anticancer immunity. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of the role of ferroptosis in cancer is crucial for the successful translation of ferroptosis therapy from the laboratory to clinical applications. In this review, we provide an overview of the recent advancements in understanding ferroptosis in cancer, covering molecular mechanisms, biological functions, regulatory pathways, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment. We also summarize the potential applications of ferroptosis induction in immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and systemic therapy, as well as ferroptosis inhibition for cancer treatment in various conditions. We finally discuss ferroptosis markers, the current challenges and future directions of ferroptosis in the treatment of cancer."

In this work, we found that without resolving lineage plasticity, skin stem cells cannot effectively generate each lineage in vitro nor regrow hair and repair wounded epidermis in vivo. A small-molecule screen unearthed retinoic acid as a critical regulator. Combining high-throughput approaches, cell culture, and in vivo mouse genetics, we dissected its roles in tissue regeneration. We found that retinoic acid is made locally in hair follicle stem cell niches, where its levels determine identity and usage. Our findings have therapeutic implications for hair growth as well as chronic wounds and cancers, where lineage plasticity is unresolved."

This case report presents the extremely rare occurrence of an anaplastic meningioma in a 12-year-old male with previously undiagnosed NF2. The patient presented with a history of abdominal pain and episodic emesis, gait unsteadiness, right upper and lower extremity weakness, and facial weakness. He had sensorineural hearing loss and wore bilateral hearing aids. MR imaging revealed a sizable left frontoparietal, dural-based meningioma with heterogeneous enhancement with mass effect on the brain and midline shift. Multiple additional CNS lesions were noted including a homogenous lesion at the level of T5 indicative of compression of the spinal cord. The patient underwent a frontotemporoparietal craniotomy for the removal of his large dural-based meningioma, utilizing neuronavigation and transdural ultrasonography for precise en bloc resection of the mass. Histopathology revealed an anaplastic meningioma, WHO grade 3, characterized by brisk mitotic activity, small-cell changes, high Ki-67 proliferation rate, and significant loss of P16.

This guideline addresses the epidemiology, diagnostics, risk stratification and treatments in immunocompetent as well as immunosuppressed patients. Actinic keratoses (AK) are potential precursors of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) and display typical histopathologic and immunohistochemical features of this malignancy in an early stage. They can develop into cSSC in situ and become invasive in a low percentage of cases. AK is the most frequent neoplasia in white populations, frequently occurring within a cancerous field induced by ultraviolet radiation. Since it cannot be predicted, which lesion will progress to cSCC and when treatment is usually recommended. The diagnosis of AK and field cancerization is made by clinical examination. Dermatoscopy, confocal microscopy, optical coherence tomography or line-field confocal-OCT can help in the differential diagnosis of AK and other skin neoplasms. A biopsy is indicated in clinically and/or dermatoscopically suspicious and/or treatment-refractory lesions. The choice of treatment depends on patients' and lesion characteristics. For single non-hyperkeratotic lesions, the treatment can be started upon patient's request with destructive treatments or topical treatments. For multiple lesions, field cancerization treatment is advised with topical treatments and photodynamic therapy. Preventive measures such as sun protection, self-examination and repeated field cancerization treatments of previously affected skin areas in high-risk patients are advised."

This case highlights the variable presentation of LTS secondary to melanoma. To our knowledge, this LTS pattern is the first case where the sign manifests as a subtle pattern secondary to melanoma. This stands in contrast to the five documented cases in the literature of LTS-melanoma, which exhibited distinctive and eruptive patterns. A 64-year-old Caucasian female presented for a wellness examination. No personal history of skin cancer was noted. Patient displayed an onset proliferation of SKs with an irregular, sub-centimeter macular nevus over her right lateral mid back. A 6mm punch biopsy was significant for melanoma in situ, arising within a lentiginous compound dysplastic nevus, focally abutting one peripheral tissue edge. A re-excision with a minimum of 5mm margins was completed and the specimen was negative for residual in situ melanoma. Because of the rare occurrence of this delicate pattern at the site of the melanoma, this presentation adds to the knowledge surrounding this diagnosis. This case emphasizes the importance of maintaining vigilance regarding skin manifestations associated with disease and highlights the critical importance of observation and identification of subtle physical exam findings."

However, current diagnostic methods for skin cancer are either invasive, time-consuming, or unreliable. Consequently, there is a demand for an innovative and efficient approach to diagnose skin cancer that utilizes non-invasive and automated techniques. In this study, a unique method has been proposed for diagnosing skin cancer by employing an Xception neural network that has been optimized using Boosted Dipper Throated Optimization (BDTO) algorithm. The Xception neural network is a deep learning model capable of extracting high-level features from skin dermoscopy images, while the BDTO algorithm is a bio-inspired optimization technique that can determine the optimal parameters and weights for the Xception neural network. To enhance the quality and diversity of the images, the ISIC dataset is utilized, a widely accepted benchmark system for skin cancer diagnosis, and various image preprocessing and data augmentation techniques were implemented. By comparing the method with several contemporary approaches, it has been demonstrated that the method outperforms others in detecting skin cancer. The method achieves an average precision of 94.936%, an average accuracy of 94.206%, and an average recall of 97.092% for skin cancer diagnosis, surpassing the performance of alternative methods. Additionally, the 5-fold ROC curve and error curve have been presented for the data validation to showcase the superiority and robustness of the method."

The most frequent NF1 large deletion is 1.4 Mb, resulting from homologous recombination between two low copy repeats. This ""type-1"" deletion is associated with a severe clinical phenotype in NF1 patients, with several phenotypic manifestations including learning disability, a much earlier development of cutaneous neurofibromas, an increased tumour risk, and cardiovascular malformations. NF1 adjacent co-deleted genes could act as modifier loci for the specific clinical manifestations observed in deleted NF1 patients. Furthermore, other genetic modifiers (such as CNVs) not located at the NF1 locus could also modulate the phenotype observed in patients with large deletions. In this study, we analysed 22 NF1 deletion patients by genome-wide array-CGH with the aim (1) to correlate deletion length to observed phenotypic features and their severity in NF1 deletion syndrome, and (2) to identify whether the deletion phenotype could also be modulated by copy number variations elsewhere in the genome. We then review the role of co-deleted genes in the 1.4 Mb interval of type-1 deletions, and their possible implication in the main clinical features observed in this high-risk group of NF1 patients."

A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose CDC as standard culture workup is often negative. While tissue biopsy is the gold standard of diagnosis, it is frequently avoided in patients with profound cytopenias and increased bleeding risks. A presumptive diagnosis can be made in patients with recent neutropenia, persistent fevers unresponsive to antibiotics, imaging findings of hypoechoic, non-rim enhancing target-like lesions in the spleen and liver, and mycologic evidence. Here, we describe the case of an 18-year-old woman with relapsed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated with re-induction chemotherapy who subsequently developed CDC with multi-organ involvement. The diagnosis was made based on clinical and radiologic features with positive tissue culture from a skin nodule and hepatic lesion. The patient was treated for a total course of 11 months with anti-fungal therapy, most notably amphotericin B and micafungin, and splenectomy. After initial diagnosis, the patient was monitored with monthly CT abdomen imaging that showed disease control after 5 months of anti-fungal therapy and splenectomy.

A compelling link between the composition of the gut microbiome and the efficacy of immunotherapy has been established in both animal models and human patients. However, the precise biological mechanisms by which gut microbes influence treatment outcomes remain poorly understood. Using a robust dataset of 680 fecal metagenomes from melanoma patients, a detailed catalog of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) was constructed to explore the compositional and functional properties of the gut microbiome. Our study uncovered significant findings that deepen the understanding of the intricate relationship between gut microbes and the efficacy of melanoma immunotherapy. In particular, we discovered the specific metagenomic profile of patients with favorable treatment outcomes, characterized by a prevalence of MAGs with increased overall metabolic potential and proficiency in polysaccharide utilization, along with those responsible for cobalamin and amino acid production. Furthermore, our investigation of the biosynthetic pathways of short-chain fatty acids, known for their immunomodulatory role, revealed a differential abundance of these pathways among the specific MAGs.

+7200,skin cancer,38447871,Targeting the CXCL12/CXCR4 pathway to reduce radiation treatment side effects.,"High precision, image-guided radiotherapy (RT) has increased the therapeutic ratio, enabling higher tumor and lower normal tissue doses, leading to improved patient outcomes. Nevertheless, some patients remain at risk of developing serious side effects.In many clinical situations, the radiation tolerance of normal tissues close to the target volume limits the dose that can safely be delivered and thus the potential for tumor control and cure. This is particularly so in patients being re-treated for tumor progression or a second primary tumor within a previous irradiated volume, scenarios that are becoming more frequent in clinical practice.Various normal tissue 'radioprotective' drugs with the potential to reduce side effects have been studied previously. Unfortunately, most have failed to impact clinical practice because of lack of therapeutic efficacy, concern about concurrent tumor protection or excessive drug-related toxicity. This review highlights the evidence indicating that targeting the CXCL12/CXCR4 pathway can mitigate acute and late RT-induced injury and reduce treatment side effects in a manner that overcomes these previous translational challenges. Pre-clinical studies involving a broad range of normal tissues commonly affected in clinical practice, including skin, lung, the gastrointestinal tract and brain, have shown that CXCL12 signalling is upregulated by RT and attracts CXCR4-expressing inflammatory cells that exacerbate acute tissue injury and late fibrosis. These studies also provide convincing evidence that inhibition of CXCL12/CXCR4 signalling during or after RT can reduce or prevent RT side effects, warranting further evaluation in clinical studies. Greater dialogue with the pharmaceutical industry is needed to prioritize the development and availability of CXCL12/CXCR4 inhibitors for future RT studies."

+7202,skin cancer,38447811,Telodendrimer functionalized hydrogel platform for sustained antibiotics release in infection control.,"Wound infection commonly causes delayed healing, especially in the setting of chronic wounds. Local release of antibiotics is considered a viable approach to treat chronic wounds. We have developed a versatile telodendrimer (TD) platform for efficient loading of charged antibiotic molecules via a combination of multivalent and synergistic charge and hydrophobic interactions. The conjugation of TD in biocompatible hydrogel allows for topical application to provide sustained antibiotic release. Notably, a drug loading capacity as high as 20 % of the drug-to-resin dry weight ratio can be achieved. The payload content (PC) and release profile of the various antibiotics can be optimized by fine-tuning TD density and valency in hydrogel based on the charge and hydrophobic features of the drug, e.g., polymyxin B (PMB), gentamycin (GM), and daptomycin (Dap), for effective infection control. We have shown that hydrogel with moderately reduced TD density demonstrates a more favorable release profile than hydrogel with higher TD density. Antibiotics loaded in TD hydrogel have comparable antimicrobial potency and reduced cytotoxicity compared to the free antibiotics due to a prolonged, controlled drug release profile. In a mouse model of skin and soft tissue infection, the subcutaneous administration of PMB-loaded TD hydrogel effectively eliminated the bacterial burden. Overall, these results suggest that engineerable TD hydrogels have great potential as a topical treatment to control infection for wound healing. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Wound infection causes a significant delay in the wound healing process, which results in a significant financial and resource burden to the healthcare system. PEGA-telodendrimer (TD) resin hydrogel is an innovative and versatile platform that can be fine-tuned to efficiently encapsulate different antibiotics by altering charged and hydrophobic structural moieties. Additionally, this platform is advantageous as the TD density in the resin can also be fine-tuned to provide the desired antibiotic payload release profile. Sustained antibiotics release through optimization of TD density provides a prolonged therapeutic window and reduces burst release-induced cytotoxicity compared to conventional antibiotics application. Studies in a preclinical mouse model of bacteria-induced skin and soft tissue infection demonstrated promising therapeutic efficacy as evidenced by effective infection control and prolonged antibacterial efficacy of antibiotics-loaded PEGA-TD resin. In conclusion, the PEGA-TD resin platform provides a highly customizable approach for effective antibiotics release with significant potential for topical application to treat various bacterial wound infections to promote wound healing."

In contrast, patients with bigger breasts may not wish to undergo major breast remodeling surgery or breast symmetrization procedures. In such cases, volume replacement techniques can be beneficial, but these leave additional scars and are time consuming. The authors propose an ""in between"" single scar approach to perform both lumpectomy and reconstruction of small peripheral breast tumors. This approach reduces morbidity and operating time compared with standard volume replacement techniques. The tumors are resected from below, guided by wire, using an incision in the lateral breast crease or inframammary fold, depending on their location. The same incision is used to raise an adipose or adipofascial flap based on perimammary perforators, lateral thoracic artery perforator flap (LTAP), lateral intercostal artery perforator flap (LICAP), or anterior intercostal artery perforator flaps (AICAP) flaps, without skin donor site. Between March and November 2022, eight patients underwent this procedure. In four cases LICAP flap was used; in three-AICAP flap was chosen; and in one-LTAP perforator flap was used. Clear surgical margins were achieved in all cases. The average follow-up time was 9.9 months, during which no local recurrences were detected. All flaps survived. Two patients experienced seromas at the donor site, and an organized hematoma was also reported.

Psoriasis varies greatly in severity, from an intermittent condition with a few localized patches of skin involvement, to a widespread serious skin disease with severe pruritus, extensive skin involvement, complications and disability. Psoriasis is associated with an inflammatory arthritis in at least 5% of cases. The typical psoriatic skin lesion is a raised, erythematous and sharply demarcated papule or plaque, often with a silvery crust. They are often pruritic. Histology shows acanthosis and inflammation with neutrophils and lymphocytes, which are rich in activated T cells. The etiology of psoriasis is not well defined, but it appears to be an autoimmune condition or a disease of immune dysregulation. The therapy of psoriasis ranges from topical ointments and oral therapies to intravenously or subcutaneously administered biologics. Milder cases can be managed by topical ointments, corticosteroids and vitamin D and retinoid derivatives. Systemic therapy is used for more severe disease or extensive skin involvement. Agents used include psoralen with ultraviolet light, methotrexate, acitretin, phosphodiesterase type 4 inhibitors (apremilast), cyclosporine or other immunomodulatory agents and, most recently, antitumor necrosis factor agents and monoclonal antibodies directed at activated T cells or their proinflammatory cytokines (secukinumab, ustekinumab). Psoriatic arthritis is typically treated similarly as rheumatoid arthritis. Most of the agents used to treat severe psoriasis have other major uses, such as in cancer chemotherapy (methotrexate), organ transplantation (cyclosporine), and autoimmune diseases (antitumor necrosis factor agents, secukinumab, ustekinumab).

However, the combined photosensitizers often suffer from incompatible excitation mode, limited irradiation penetration depth, and lack of specificity. We describe the development of upconversion dual-photosensitizer-expressing bacteria (UDPB) for near-infrared monochromatically excitable combination phototherapy. UDPB are prepared by integrating genetic engineering and surface modification, in which bacteria are encoded to simultaneously express photothermal melanin and phototoxic KillerRed protein and the surface primary amino groups are derived to free thiols for biorthogonal conjugation of upconversion nanoparticles. UDPB exhibit a near-infrared monochromatic irradiation-mediated dual-activation characteristic as the photothermal conversion of melanin can be initiated directly, while the photodynamic effect of KillerRed can be stimulated indirectly by upconverted visible light emission. UDPB also show living features to colonize hypoxic lesion sites and inhibit pathogens via bacterial community competition.

However, the inherent toxicity of Lysenin as a pore-forming protein (PFP) restricts its application in therapy. Here, a gene therapy strategy based on Lysenin for cancer treatment is presented. The formulation consists of polymeric nanoparticles complexed with the plasmid encoding Lysenin. After transfection in vitro, melanoma cells can express Lysenin, resulting in necrosis, autophagy, and immunogenic cell death. The secretory signal peptide alters the intracellular distribution of the expressed product of Lysenin, thereby potentiating its anticancer efficacy. The intratumor injection of Lysenin gene formulation can efficiently kill the transfected melanoma cells and activate the antitumor immune response.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the photochemoprotective effect of topical treatment with the methanolic extract of L. racemosa (MELR) as a photochemoprotective agent against the harmful effects of UV irradiation (UVR) on a bacterial model and hairless mice. The MELR components were separated and analyzed via HPLC-UV-ESI-MS. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by the ability of MERL to scavenge DPPH and ABTS free radicals and by its FRAP capacity. The toxicity of MELR was evaluated in keratinocyte cultures. The photoprotective capacity of MELR was assessed through challenge experiments using models with bacteria and hairless CD1 et/et mice; cytokines related to the damage caused by UVR were also measured. In the methanolic extract of L. racemosa, five metabolites were detected and identified: two isomers of quercetin 6-C glycoside, orientin, quercetin 3-(6″-acetylglycoside) and quercetin 3-(6″-galloylglycoside) 7-(2,3-dihydroxytetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl acetate). MELR exhibited DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging properties, in addition to Fe ion reducing activity. MELR showed a photoprotective effect against UVB radiation-induced death in Escherichia coli bacteria. At the histological level, topical treatment of CD-1 et/et mice with MERL reduced the damage caused by UVR. Quantification of interleukins in the blood of mice revealed that the expression of IL-12 was greater in the control group treated with ultraviolet radiation than in the group protected with MELR. The methanolic extract of L. racemosa has photochemoprotective properties."

Platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) are nanostructured particles with the potential to promote wound healing since they can enhance neovascularization and cell migration and reduce inflammation and scarring. This work provides an innovative overview of the technical laboratory issues in PEV production, PEVs' role in chronic wound healing and the benefits and challenges in its clinical translation. The article also explores the challenges of proper sourcing, extraction techniques and storage conditions, and discusses the necessity of further evaluations and combinational therapeutics, including dressing biomaterials, M2-derived exosomes, mesenchymal stem cells-derived extracellular vesicles and microneedle technology, to boost their therapeutic efficacy as advanced strategies for wound healing."

While pigment production offers a communal protection from UV damage, the process also requires anabolic and redox demands that must be carefully managed by melanocytes. In this report we provide an updated review on melanin metabolism, including recent data leveraging new techniques, and technologies in the field of metabolism. We also discuss the many aspects of melanin synthesis that intersect with metabolic pathways known to impact melanoma phenotypes and behavior. By reviewing the metabolism of melanin synthesis, we hope to highlight outstanding questions and opportunities for future research that could improve patient outcomes in pigmentary and oncologic disease settings."

To determine whether viral replication is required for oncolytic activity, we compared replication-deficient HSV-1 d106S with replication-competent T-VEC. High infectious doses of HSV-1 d106S killed melanoma (n = 10), head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (n = 11), and chondrosarcoma cell lines (n = 2) significantly faster than T-VEC as measured by MTT metabolic activity, while low doses of T-VEC were more effective over time. HSV-1 d106S and, to a lesser extent T-VEC, triggered caspase-dependent early apoptosis as shown by pan-caspase inhibition and specific induction of caspases 3/7, 8, and 9. HSV-1 d106S induced a higher ratio of apoptosis-inducing infected cell protein (ICP) 0 to apoptosis-blocking ICP6 than T-VEC. T-VEC was oncolytic for an extended period of time as viral replication continued, which could be partially blocked by the antiviral drug aciclovir. High doses of T-VEC, but not HSV-1 d106S, increased interferon-β mRNA as part of the intrinsic immune response. When markers of immunogenic cell death were assessed, ATP was released more efficiently in the context of T-VEC than HSV-1 d106S infection, whereas HMGB1 was induced comparatively well. Overall, the early oncolytic effect on three different tumour entities was stronger with the non-replicative strain, while the replication-competent virus elicited a stronger innate immune response and more pronounced immunogenic cell death."

These lesions often manifest as exophytic or polypoid tumors, characterized by fusiform-to-epithelioid melanocytes arranged in a nested, fascicular, or plexiform growth pattern. Several fusion partners of the ALK gene have been identified in spitzoid melanocytic neoplasms, with TPM3 and DCTN1 being the most prevalent. Less common fusion partners include NPM1, TPR, CLIP1, GTF3C2, EEF2, MYO5A, KANK1, and EHBP1. The MLPH gene, which encodes melanophilin (MLPH), playing a crucial role in regulating skin pigmentation by acting as a linker between RAB27A and myosin Va during melanosome transport, has also recently been recognized as a rare fusion partner of ALK in Spitz melanocytic neoplasms. Currently, there exists a sparse documentation within English literature, illustrating a limited number of cases featuring MLPH::ALK fusion in Spitz melanocytic neoplasms. In this report, we present two additional cases, including a previously unreported instance of Spitz melanoma, contributing to the expanding knowledge on ALK-fused Spitz melanocytic neoplasms. In addition, we provide a comprehensive review of the clinical, histopathologic, and molecular features observed in documented cases with this novel fusion."
+7231,skin cancer,38444163,Fucoxanthin induces human melanoma cytotoxicity by thwarting the JAK2/STAT3/BCL-xL signaling axis.,"Melanoma is the most lethal skin malignancy. Fucoxanthin is a marine carotenoid with significant anticancer activities. Intriguingly, Fucoxanthin's impact on human melanoma remains elusive. Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) represents a promising target in cancer therapy due to its persistent activation in various cancers, including melanoma. Herein, we revealed that Fucoxanthin is cytotoxic to human melanoma cell lines A2758 and A375 while showing limited cytotoxicity to normal human melanocytes. Apoptosis is a primary reason for Fucoxanthin's melanoma cytotoxicity, as the pan-caspase inhibitor z-VAD-fmk drastically abrogated Fucoxanthin-elicited clonogenicity blockage. Besides, Fucoxanthin downregulated tyrosine 705-phosphorylated STAT3 (p-STAT3 (Y705)), either inherently present in melanoma cells or inducible by interleukin 6 (IL-6) stimulation. Notably, ectopic expression of STAT3-C, a dominant-active STAT3 mutant, abolished Fucoxanthin-elicited melanoma cell apoptosis and clonogenicity inhibition, supporting the pivotal role of STAT3 blockage in Fucoxanthin's melanoma cytotoxicity. Moreover, Fucoxanthin lowered BCL-xL levels by blocking STAT3 activation, while ectopic BCL-xL expression rescued melanoma cells from Fucoxanthin-induced killing. Lastly, Fucoxanthin was found to diminish the levels of JAK2 with dual phosphorylation at tyrosine residues 1007 and 1008 in melanoma cells, suggesting that Fucoxanthin impairs STAT3 signaling by blocking JAK2 activation. Collectively, we present the first evidence that Fucoxanthin is cytotoxic selectively against human melanoma cells while sparing normal melanocytes. Mechanistically, Fucoxanthin targets the JAK2/STAT3/BCL-xL antiapoptotic axis to provoke melanoma cell death. This discovery implicates the potential application of Fucoxanthin as a chemopreventive or therapeutic strategy for melanoma management."

An 89-year-old woman presented with a pale reddish-brown plaque on the left buttock. Histopathological examination of the excisional specimen revealed hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, and intraepidermal epithelioma. In some areas of the tumor, we observed proliferation of basaloid keratinocytes within the intraepidermal nests and pseudohorn cysts. This area was diagnosed as clonal SK. However, in other areas, the tumor cells within the intraepidermal nests showed nuclear pleomorphism, abnormal mitoses, dyskeratotic cells, and clumping cells, consistent with BD with a nested/clonal pattern (clonal BD). The SK and BD areas were contiguous with the transitional zone. Some nests within the BD area contained vacuolated cells with bubbly cytoplasm and scalloped nuclei, suggestive of sebaceous differentiation. Therefore, we made the diagnosis of clonal BD with sebaceous differentiation arising from clonal SK. All areas contained intraepidermal nests, which revealed that the lesions were not the result of accidental collision, but that the neoplastic cells in the intraepidermal nests of the SK transformed into BD and underwent sebaceous differentiation."

The current available analgesic treatments for CIBP have adverse effects as well as limited therapeutic effects. Acupuncture is proved effective in pain management as a safe alternative therapy. We evaluated the analgesic effect of acupuncture in treatment of cancer pain and try to explore the underlying analgesic mechanisms. Nude mice were inoculated with cancer cells into the left distal femur to establish cancer pain model. Electroacupuncture (EA) treatment was applied for the xenograft animals. Pain behaviors of mice were evaluated, followed by the detections of neuropeptide-related and inflammation-related indicators in peripheral and central levels. EA treatment alleviated cancer-induced pain behaviors covering mechanical allodynia, thermal hyperalgesia and spontaneous pain, and also down-regulated immunofluorescence expressions of neuropeptide CGRP and p75 in the skin of affected plantar area in xenograft mice, and inhibited expressions of overexpressed neuropeptide-related and inflammation-related protein in the lumbar spinal cord of xenograft mice. Overall, our findings suggest that EA treatment ameliorated cancer-induced pain behaviors in the mouse xenograft model of cancer pain, possibly through inhibiting the expressions of neuropeptide-related and inflammation-related protein in central level following tumor cell xenografts."

Surgical resection included maxillectomy, mandibulectomy, craniectomy, parotidectomy, scalp resection, face skin resection and laminectomy. The reconstruction was performed with one rectus abdominis flap, four radial forearm flaps, two latissimus dorsi flaps, two vascularized fibula flaps, two pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps, two trapezius flaps, two temporalis flaps, seven scalp flaps and two nasolabial flaps. The total patient number was 24. The hospitalization was uncomplicated, followed by postoperative radiotherapy in the majority of cases. In a mean 15-year follow-up period, 11 patients are still alive and disease-free. There were four recurrences treated with palliative radiotherapy.

Forty female FVB/N mice 4 weeks old, were grouped into one control (n = 8) and two experimental groups (Group A: n = 16, Group B: n = 16) following a randomization process. Two-stage carcinogenesis protocol, was implicated, including an initial treatment with 97.4 nmol DMBA on their shaved dorsal skin and subsequent treatments of 32.4 nmol TPA applications after 13 weeks for Group A and after 20 weeks for Group B. The control group C, received no treatment. Skin was examined weekly for tumor development. Post-experiment, animals were euthanized for tissue analysis. The histological status of the skin lesions in the experimental groups corresponded well with tumour advancement (from dysplasia to poorly-differentiated carcinoma). Tumour sections were evaluated histologically and immunohistochemically. EGFR expression was found significantly higher in precancerous and malignant tumours (p = 042 and p = 008 respectively), while tended to be higher in benign tumours (p = 079), compared to normal histology. Moreover, mean percentage of EGFR positive expression in malignant tumours was significantly higher than in benign tumours (p < 001). HER-2 expression was found significantly higher in precancerous and malignant tumours (p = 042 and p = 015 respectively), while tended to be higher in benign tumours (p = 085), compared to normal histology. Furthermore, mean percentage of HER-2 positive expression in malignant tumours was significantly higher than in benign tumours (p = 005). The study demonstrated that in FVB/N mice subjected to a two-stage chemically induced carcinogenesis protocol, there was a significant increase in the expression of EGFR and HER-2 oncogenes in precancerous and malignant skin lesions compared to normal tissue. This suggests a potentially early role of these oncogenes in the progression of skin tumours in this model."

+7247,skin cancer,38441683,Whole-exome sequencing is feasible on a fresh-frozen skin sample of intravascular large B cell lymphoma.,"Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare aggressive extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The predominant, if not exclusive, growth of neoplastic cells within the lumina of small-sized vessels represents the hallmark of the disease. Diagnosis is challenging due to the absence of marked lymphadenopathy, the highly heterogeneous clinical presentation, and the rarity of the condition. Clinical presentation is characterized by variable combinations of nonspecific signs and symptoms (such as fever and weight loss), organ-specific focal manifestations due to altered perfusion, and hemophagocytic syndrome. The rarity of this entity and the paucity of neoplastic cells in biopsy samples hamper the study of recurrent molecular abnormalities. The purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility of a different approach to recover a sufficient amount of DNA of acceptable quality to perform next-generation sequencing studies. Here, we report the findings of whole-exome next-generation sequencing performed on a fresh-frozen cutaneous sample of IVLBCL, paired with the patient saliva used as germline DNA. To increase the cancer cell fraction, only the subcutaneous tissue was selected. With this approach, we obtained high-quality DNA and were able to identify oncogenic mutations specific for this entity and recapitulating its post-germinal center origin, even if the tumor fraction was low. Molecular studies performed on fresh-frozen cutaneous sample are feasible in IVLBCL, especially when analysis is restricted to the subcutaneous tissue. Wide adoption of this reproducible and cost-effective approach may foster further studies, which may be of help in supporting diagnosis, providing pathogenetic insights, and guiding treatment decisions."

Substantial evidence of effectiveness was obtained from EV-103/KEYNOTE-869 (NCT03288545), a multicohort study. Across cohorts, a total of 121 patients received EV 1.25 mg/kg (maximum of 125 mg) intravenously on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle plus pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenously on day 1 of each 21-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The major efficacy outcome measures were objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DoR), determined by blinded independent central review using RECIST v1.1. The confirmed ORR in 121 patients was 68% (95% confidence interval, 59-76), including 12% with complete responses. The median DoR for the 82 responders was 22 months (range: 1+ to 46+). The safety profile of the combination comprised adverse reactions expected to occur with the corresponding monotherapies, but with overall increased frequency of adverse reactions, including skin toxicity, pneumonitis, and peripheral neuropathy.

However, whether JPX is involved in melanoma progression remains unclear. Our study showed that JPX expression is significantly increased in melanoma tissues and cell lines. To clarify the effect of JPX on cutaneous melanoma, we successfully generated JPX-overexpressing or JPX-knockdown A375 and A2058 cells. CCK-8, colony formation EdU, Transwell, and cell-cycle phase assays were performed, and subcutaneously implanted tumor models were used to determine the function of JPX in cutaneous melanoma. The results showed that JPX knockdown reduced the proliferation and migration of malignant melanoma cells both in vitro and in vivo. To further elucidate the molecular mechanism of JPX-induced cutaneous melanoma deterioration, we performed RNA pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation, coimmunoprecipitation, Western blot, and RNA-sequence analyses. JPX can directly interact with YTHDF2 and impede the protection of YTHDF2 from ubiquitin-specific protease 10 (USP10), which promotes its deubiquitination. Thus, JPX decreases protein stability and promotes the degradation of YTHDF2, thereby stabilizing BMP2 mRNA and activating AKT phosphorylation. Overall, our study revealed a novel effect of JPX on YTHDF2 ubiquitination, suggesting the possibility of blocking the JPX/USP10/YTHDF2/BMP2 axis as a prospective therapeutic approach for cutaneous melanoma."

We found that aging skin showed a strongly reduced epidermal thickness, strongly increased oxidative stress, protease expression, and mast cell degranulation and strongly increased TRPV1 expression both in epidermis and dermis. Based on our findings, the aging-related changes observed in the epidermis of the skin level are associated with increased ROS production, and hypothesized alterations in TRPV1 expression are mechanistically linked to this process."

But the copassengers like reconstruction, cosmesis, swallowing and speech outcomes deserve equivalent importance. Submental Artery Island Flaps (SAIF) provide an underutilized and extremely versatile option for reconstruction of defects following early stage oral cavity tumour resections. In this prospective observational analysis, we describe the technique, challenges and outcomes of SAIF at our tertiary care institute. Sixteen patients with Stage I and II oral cavity cancers were enrolled between June 2020 to May 2021. Verrucous carcinomas were five and well differentiated carcinomas were 11 patients. After tumour excision and neck dissections, defects were reconstructed with Pedicled submental flaps. Complications and functional outcomes were analyzed over two years. Nineteen percent were ladies and 81% were gentlemen. Median age was 52 years. Tongue tumours formed majority with 56% cases. Largest skin paddle taken was 36 cm"

Though various treatment modalities are available for the treatment of basal cell carcinomas, wide local excision is the standard line of management. However, reconstruction of facial BCC poses a challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. Over a 4-year-old period from 2017 to 2021, a total of 30 patients of head and neck basal cell carcinoma were surgically excised in our institution. We have explored all modes of reconstruction from small to large BCC defects in terms of cosmesis, form and function. Four patients underwent primary closure, 8 patients underwent skin grafting, 13 patients underwent closure by local and advancement flaps and 5 patients with large defects underwent free flap reconstruction. No flap loss was reported. None reported any functional deficit. To achieve adequate aesthetic surgical outcomes after reconstruction, knowledge of facial aesthetic regions is of utmost importance. The size and location of the defect and the presence of vital structures adjacent to the defect should be assessed to determine the kind of reconstruction that should be carried out without adversely affecting adjacent structures. For greater patient satisfaction, the method of reconstruction should be tailor made, where donor tissue resembles native tissue with good contour and texture match, suture line scars are camouflaged, and complications are nil."

The benign nature of the ""Spitz nevus"" has since been clarified, but the debate regarding Spitzoidtumors (STs) is still ongoing. Spitzoid tumors encompass a wide spectrum of cutaneous lesions ranging from benign Spitz nevus (SN) to Spitzoid melanoma (SM), the latter displaying capacity for widespread metastasis and a potentially lethal outcome (2). The term atypical Spitz tumors (ASTs) refers to melanocytic tumors exhibiting the morphological features of SN, as well as some features associated with malignancy, but not sufficient to classify them as SMs. Currently, histopathology is the gold standard for the diagnosis of STs and cutaneous MM. However, the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant melanocytic lesions with spitzoid features remains challenging (3-6). In order to facilitate the work of clinicians and pathologists, we attempted a comparative clinical and demographic study comparing ASTs and MMs of patients referred to two Italian institutes. Patient data were obtained from two different Italian dermatological centers (Melanoma Registry of the Instituto Dermopaticodell'Immacolata IDI-IRCCS Rome, Lazio and the Skin Cancer Unit of Dermatology, Hospital Sant'Orsola-Malpighi, University of Bologna), from January 2007 to December 2017. Histological reports presenting pre-operative queries of both ""atypical Spitz nevi"" or ""malignant melanoma"" and a final diagnosis confirming one of the queries were included in the study. The chi-square test or Mann-Whitney U-test were applied to analyze differences between the groups for categorical variables such as sex, diagnosis, and continuous variables (age). The ""anatomic site"" variable was classified into three categories as follows: the limbs, trunk, and head/neck. A multivariate binary logistic model was used to investigate if the anatomic site was an independent predictor of MM. Age and sex were considered confounding factors. A total of 504 patients (51.8% men; 48.2% women) met the inclusion study criteria (mean age 52 years, SD = 22.8) (Table 1). 373 were cases of MM and 131 were cases of AST. Mean age of MM cases and AST were 61.2 years old (SD = 17.6) and 25.8 years old (SD = 13.8), respectively. Subjects with MM were predominantly men (58.2% versus 33.6%) (P<0.0001) and older (median age 62 years versus 25 years) (P=0.0001) than subjects with AST. The most frequent anatomic site for MM was the trunk (39.7 %), while the lower limb was the most frequent anatomic site for AST (48.1 %) (P<0.0001). Table 2 shows the multivariable analysis used to assess if anatomic site was an independent predictor of cutaneous melanoma. Multivariate analysis confirmed an increased risk for MM in comparison with AST for both localization on the trunk (OR:2.78; 95 %CI: 1.74-4.45) (P<0.0001) and head/neck (OR:3.20; 95% CI: 1.60-6.38) (P=0.0001). After introducing age (model 1, OR: 2.11; 95% CI: 1.08-4.12) (P=0.003) and sex into the model, the only anatomic site that remained statistically significant was the trunk (model 2, OR: 2.03; 95% CI: 1.0.3-3.99) (P=0.04). The results show that if the lesion was located on the trunk, the probability of being a MM was two times higher than that of AST, independent of sex, age, or center. After stratifying for sex, the effect was stronger for women (OR: 2.72; 95% CI: 1.14-6.50). After stratifying for age, the effect was stronger for younger subjects (<40 years) (OR: 2. 59; 95% CI: 1.20-5.60) (P=0.02). In this study, we focused on the clinical-epidemiological data in an attempt to improve the identification of nodular melanocytic lesions by providing clinicians with further information in order to reduce the rate of misdiagnosis and assist in providing critical clinical information to surgeons and pathologists. Consistently with the literature, ASTs were mainly found in young-adult patients (mean age was 25.8 years), in the female sex (66.4%), and were typically located on the lower limbs (48.1%) (3,7-10). MM were found to be slightly more common in male patients (58.2%) in the overall patient group; the mean age at the time of the diagnosis was 61.2 years old, and the majority of lesions were located on the trunk (39.7%). These data were similar to those reported by other authors (11-13). ASTs cases were mainly women and younger than MM cases, and were typically located on the lower limbs (Figure 3 and Figure 4). Nodules located on the trunk resulted in a two times greater risk of MM in comparison with AST. In summary, distinguishing ASTs from MMs is often challenging, and histopathology remains the diagnostic gold standard for melanocytic neoplasms, but a specific clinical framework may help surgeons, pathologists, and clinicians to correctly diagnose and manage these lesions in children and adults."
+7264,skin cancer,38439727,Merkel Cell Carcinoma of Unknown Primary Origin.,"Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and highly aggressive primary cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma most often occurring in the elderly. Risk factors include chronic sun exposure and immunosuppression (1). MCC is associated with frequent recurrences and a high metastatic potential and mortality rate (1). It is the second most common cause of skin-cancer-related death after melanoma. At primary diagnosis with an apparent cutaneous tumor, loco-regional metastases are present in up to 30% of patients, and 6-12% have distant metastatic disease (2-3). Up to 5% of cases present with unknown primary origin (4). Five-year overall survival for patients with advanced or metastatic disease is 13-18% (4). We report two cases of MCC presenting without primary cutaneous involvement; first at an unusual location in the adipose tissue of the right breast, and the second one with only a clinically positive left inguinal lymph node. In October 2018, a 78-year-old woman presented with a 15-week history of a painless solitary mass in the upper outer quadrant (UOQ) of the right breast with no visible cutaneous involvement. Her medical history included hypertension, dyslipidemia, and plaque psoriasis. She underwent ultrasound guided biopsy, and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic MCC (mMCC). Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scans showed increased standardized uptake values in the mass in the UOQ and an additional mass in the lower inner quadrant (Figure 1A). The patient underwent mastectomy and lymph node dissection of the right axilla. Histopathology confirmed mMCC and negative axillary lymph nodes. Regular follow-up (clinical examination, PET/CT scan, ultrasound, mammography) every 6 months revealed no disease recurrence during this 4-year period (Figure 1B). In September 2021, a 66-year-old man was referred to our Clinic with clinically detectable painful left inguinal lymphadenopathy. Excisional biopsy was performed, and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of mMCC (Figure 2). After an extensive clinical and imaging evaluation (PET/CT scan), which confirmed disseminated disease (Figure 3A), initial treatment with the programmed cell death ligand 1 inhibitor (anti PD-L1) avelumab was proposed. The first cycle consisting of seven intravenous applications, and was applied in October 2021. After one year and completion of the third cycle of therapy, imaging assessment (PET-CT scan) detected a solitary lesion in the pancreas. Fine needle aspiration biopsy confirmed a distant metastasis of MCC that was later treated with stereotactic radiosurgery. The fourth cycle of immunotherapy was completed in March 2023. No treatment-related adverse events were noted during these 18 months of follow-up. Recent PET/CT scans demonstrated scaring tissue in the pancreas with no signs of locoregional or distant metastatic disease (Figure 3B). Management of MCC should be individualized based on the specific pattern of disease presentation. The presence of nodal disease is one of the most powerful predictors of overall survival and risk for developing distant metastatic disease (3-4). Multidisciplinary tumor board discussions are mandatory for the management of advanced MCC. New emerging treatment options have once again returned focus to this rare and highly-aggressive entity. Until recent years, mMCC was managed with extensive surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy, but responses were not durable (1). Based on new clinical trials, immunotherapy has now become a rational and promising treatment option and is considered as first-line treatment in patients with advanced MCC (5). The management of patients with MCC of unknown primary origin should adhere to that for patients with an identifiable primary tumour (6). Although cutaneous manifestations are the hallmark of MCC, only a minority of cases have been reported in the literature without any cutaneous involvement (7-10). Our cases highlight this unusual presentation of MCC that could be misleading and contribute to delayed diagnosis. We therefore emphasize the importance of considering rare forms of malignancies such as MCC even in the absence of a primary cutaneous lesion."
+7265,skin cancer,38439726,A Persistent Dark Macule on the Hand of a Hispanic Patient.,"A 38-year-old Hispanic man without comorbidities presented to our dermatology clinic for the evaluation of an asymptomatic dark macule on his left hand, which had gradually grown since he was a child. The hyperpigmentation involved the dorsum and palm (Figure 1). The patient was right-handed and denied previous trauma, inflammation, occupational exposure to chemicals, or using any medications. During physical examination, no other similar pigmentation was found on the rest of his body. An incisional biopsy of the left palm was performed (Figure 2). The histopathology revealed the presence of spindle-shaped cells with melanin granules in the superficial and middle dermis, surrounding the blood vessels, and between collagen bundles, which are findings compatible with acquired dermal melanocytosis (1,2). On dermoscopy, we found a pattern of regular pigment with a gray-brown tone and whitish spots within. We discussed the benignity of this rare entity with the patient, and he decided not to pursue treatment. Acquired dermal melanocytosis (ADM) is a rare condition, with isolated presentation on the hand and with less than 10 cases reported (1). Dermal melanocytosis includes several benign pigmented lesions histologically characterized by the presence of melanocytes in the dermis, which are spindle-shaped dendritic cells containing brown melanin pigment. Melanocytes can also be identified with immunoperoxidase staining for S100 and Fontana-Masson melanin stain (2). The physiopathology of ADM remains unclear, but it has been proposed that it involves reactivation of latent dermal melanocytes due to external factors such as trauma, inflammation, chemical exposure, sunlight, drugs, and hormonal treatment with estrogen and/or progesterone (3). ADM with hand involvement usually appears in the Asian population without sex predilection. The lesions develop in adolescence or young adulthood and tend to affect both hands and other body areas such as the face or the legs; there have also been two reported cases in the Hispanic population (both by Fitzpatrick III) (3,4). ADM must be differentiated from ectopic Mongolian spots, plaque-type blue nevi, tinea nigra, or other pigmented neoplasms. A biopsy is mandatory to establish a proper diagnosis. Ectopic Mongolian spots and plaque-type blue nevi are both congenital dermal melanocytoses that may present as bluish macules on the hand. However, these lesions show deep and more widely scattered distribution of melanocytes (1). There have also been some reports of malignant melanoma and acquired dermal melanocytosis that appeared on congenital nevus spilus (5). ADM is a benign condition, and reassurance should be offered to these patients."

+7267,skin cancer,38439216,Topical antibiotics limit depigmentation in a mouse model of vitiligo.,"Oral neomycin administration impacts the gut microbiome and delays vitiligo development in mice, and topical antibiotics may likewise allow the microbiome to preserve skin health and delay depigmentation. Here, we examined the effects of 6-week topical antibiotic treatment on vitiligo-prone pmel-1 mice. Bacitracin, Neosporin, or Vaseline were applied to one denuded flank, while the contralateral flank was treated with Vaseline in all mice. Ventral depigmentation was quantified weekly. We found that topical Neosporin treatment significantly reduced depigmentation and exhibited effects beyond the treated area, while Bacitracin ointment had no effect. Stool samples collected from four representative mice/group during treatment revealed that Neosporin treatment aligned with reduced abundance of the Alistipes genus in the gut, while relevant changes to the skin microbiome at end point were less apparent. Either antibiotic treatment led to reduced expression of MR1, potentially limiting mucosal-associated invariant T-cell activation, while Neosporin-treated skin selectively revealed significantly reduced CD8+ T-cell abundance. The latter finding aligned with reduced expression of multiple inflammatory markers and markedly increased regulatory T-cell density. Our studies on favorable skin and oral antibiotic treatment share the neomycin compound, and in either case, microbial changes were most apparent in stool samples. Taken together, neomycin-containing antibiotic applications can mediate skin Treg infiltration to limit vitiligo development. Our study highlights the therapeutic potential of short-term antibiotic applications to limit depigmentation vitiligo."

Despite the current knowledge in cutaneous melanoma, there is a clear need for new efficient biomarkers in clinical application of detection. We use The Cancer Genome Atlas data as a training set and a multi-stage screening strategy to identify prognostic characteristics of melanoma based on DNA methylation. Three DNA methylation CpG sites were identified to be related to the overall survival in the skin cutaneous melanoma cohort. This signature was validated in two independent datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus. The stratified analysis by clinical stage, age, gender, and grade retained the statistical significance. The methylation signature was significantly correlated with immune cells and anti-tumor immune response. Moreover, gene expression corresponding to the candidate CpG locus was also significantly correlated with the survival rate of the patient. About 49% of the prognostic effects of methylation are mediated by affecting the expression of the corresponding genes. The prognostic characteristics of DNA methylation combined with clinical information provide a better prediction value tool for melanoma patients than the clinical information alone. However, more experiments are required to validate these findings. Overall, this signature presents a prospect of novel and wide-ranging applications for appropriate clinical adjuvant trails."

+7275,skin cancer,38436836,Echoes of images: multi-loss network for image retrieval in vision transformers.,"This paper introduces a novel approach to enhance content-based image retrieval, validated on two benchmark datasets: ISIC-2017 and ISIC-2018. These datasets comprise skin lesion images that are crucial for innovations in skin cancer diagnosis and treatment. We advocate the use of pre-trained Vision Transformer (ViT), a relatively uncharted concept in the realm of image retrieval, particularly in medical scenarios. In contrast to the traditionally employed Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), our findings suggest that ViT offers a more comprehensive understanding of the image context, essential in medical imaging. We further incorporate a weighted multi-loss function, delving into various losses such as triplet loss, distillation loss, contrastive loss, and cross-entropy loss. Our exploration investigates the most resilient combination of these losses to create a robust multi-loss function, thus enhancing the robustness of the learned feature space and ameliorating the precision and recall in the retrieval process. Instead of using all the loss functions, the proposed multi-loss function utilizes the combination of only cross-entropy loss, triplet loss, and distillation loss and gains improvement of 6.52% and 3.45% for mean average precision over ISIC-2017 and ISIC-2018. Another innovation in our methodology is a two-branch network strategy, which concurrently boosts image retrieval and classification. Through our experiments, we underscore the effectiveness and the pitfalls of diverse loss configurations in image retrieval. Furthermore, our approach underlines the advantages of retrieval-based classification through majority voting rather than relying solely on the classification head, leading to enhanced prediction for melanoma - the most lethal type of skin cancer. Our results surpass existing state-of-the-art techniques on the ISIC-2017 and ISIC-2018 datasets by improving mean average precision by 1.01% and 4.36% respectively, emphasizing the efficacy and promise of Vision Transformers paired with our tailor-made weighted loss function, especially in medical contexts. The proposed approach's effectiveness is substantiated through thorough ablation studies and an array of quantitative and qualitative outcomes.

We present a case of prominent calciphylaxis that antedated the diagnosis of POEMS. The patient presented with extensive ecchymoses progressing to necrotic lesions in the setting of acute renal injury. Previously, she had chronic slowly progressive polyneuropathy, splenomegaly, hypothyroidism, amenorrhea, and ascites. Calciphylaxis was diagnosed on skin biopsy, and POEMS was diagnosed based upon clinical findings plus a bone marrow biopsy showing 15% lambda chain restricted plasma cells. Treatment for the calciphylaxis was supportive with fluids, tissue debridement, wound vacuum devices and antibiotics for secondary infection. Myeloma was treated with bortezomib and steroids. All aspects of the patient's manifestations improved. We conclude that calciphylaxis can be a prominent feature of POEMS and can appear prior to recognition of the full-blown syndrome."

Neither lymphadenopathy nor image findings suggesting lymph node metastasis were detected on US and CT. Core needle biopsy pathologically showed the tumor to be invasive lobular carcinoma. Under the preoperative diagnosis of node-negative breast cancer, the patient underwent mastectomy and sentinel node biopsy. Due to no sentinel node detection, a small but hard lymph node was identified and submitted for frozen section as a sampling node. After confirming the lymph node metastasis on frozen section, axillary lymph node dissection revealed 12 lymph node metastases. Postoperative pathological study showed cancer cell infiltration to the dermis near the nipple-areolar complex. In addition, immmunostaining showed the tumor to have low proliferative biology, i.e., Ki-67 labelling index of 10%.

Given that the pivotal JAVELIN Merkel 200 study only included a few Japanese patients, this post-marketing surveillance (PMS) evaluated the safety and effectiveness outcomes of patients with MCC who received avelumab in general clinical practice in Japan. This prospective, non-comparative, multicenter PMS included data from all patients with unresectable MCC who received avelumab between November 22, 2017 (avelumab launch date) and October 31, 2019. The primary objective was to evaluate avelumab safety (i.e., adverse events [AEs], adverse drug reactions [ADRs], and ADRs of safety specifications). The secondary objective was to evaluate avelumab effectiveness (i.e., objective response rate and overall survival [OS] rate). Seventy-five evaluable patients were included, of whom 81.3% experienced AEs of any grade (57.3% experienced AEs of grade ≥ 3; 41.3% experienced AEs of grade 5) and 61.3% experienced ADRs (14.7% experienced ADRs of grade ≥ 3; no grade 5 ADRs were observed). The most common ADRs were pyrexia (18.7%), infusion related reaction (10.7%), and chills (6.7%). The most common ADRs of safety specifications were infusion reactions (any grade: n = 21 [28.0%]; grade 3 or 4: n = 3 [4.0%]), thyroid dysfunction (n = 7 [9.3%]), and hepatic function disorders (n = 4 [5.3%]). The median observation period was 51 weeks. An objective response was achieved by 34/75 patients (45.3%; complete response, 24.0%; partial response, 21.3%) and 6- and 12-month OS rates were 77.7% and 59.6%, respectively. This PMS confirmed the clinical tolerability and effectiveness of avelumab in patients with MCC, with no new safety concerns. The risk-benefit profile of avelumab was comparable with that observed in clinical trials and remains favorable for use in general clinical practice in Japan."

+7297,skin cancer,38433350,Soluble PD-L1 predicts tumor response and immune-related adverse events in patients with advanced melanoma treated with anti-PD-1 antibodies.,"Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) bring prognostic benefits to patients with malignancies. However, there is a substantial number of patients whose lesions are not improved by ICIs. In addition, ICIs may cause immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which could lead to an unfavorable prognosis with fatal consequences. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the utility of circulating sPD-L1 (soluble programmed cell death 1 ligand 1) as a biomarker in patients with advanced melanoma treated with anti-PD-1 (programmed cell death 1 protein) antibodies. Sera from 31 consecutive patients were prospectively collected before and after anti-PD-1 antibody treatment and the serum level of sPD-L1 was evaluated. We found that high sPD-L1 levels before treatment were associated with better prognosis, and this association was observed only in patients with a low tumor burden. We also found that sPD-L1 levels were elevated in patients who developed severe irAEs after treatment, and the patients with severe irAEs had significantly higher fluctuations in sPD-L1 (delta sPD-L1) than those without severe irAEs. Our study suggests that serum sPD-L1 level is a useful biomarker to predict tumor response and irAE development in patients with advanced melanoma treated with anti-PD-1 antibodies."
+7298,skin cancer,38433172,Comparative study on the age-related incidence of seborrheic keratosis and verruca plana in patients with verruca plana-like lesions.,"Seborrheic keratosis (SK) is a common skin disease in the elderly. However, in cases where SK presenting as multiple skin-colored or clustered lesions can be easily misdiagnosed as verruca plana (VP), especially in the young population. This retrospective study investigated the prevalence of SK and VP in the lesions that appear clinically similar to VP according to age. We examined the pathology slides of the skin tissue and photographs of patients who were clinically suspected to have VP. A total of 503 patients were included in the study, out of which 174 patients were finally diagnosed with SK (34.6%) and 132 with VP (26.2%). The mean ages of the SK- and VP-diagnosed group were 39.3 and 35.4 years, respectively. SK had a higher prevalence among individuals older than 30 years, and relative frequency of SK should not be ignored in patients with a grouped distribution in their 20 s and 30 s. Therefore, our study suggests that multiple verrucous skin-colored to brownish plaques are also commonly diagnosed as SK in young people as well as VP, and the prevalence of SK and VP may not always depend solely on chronological aging, and the prevalence of SK among young people may be higher than commonly believed stereotypes suggest."

Previous studies have found that mast cell activation is the central link in the pathogenesis of chronic urticaria. Genetics, autoimmune, coagulation disorders, and infection may also be involved in the pathophysiological process of chronic urticaria. With the deepening of research, more immune and non-immune mechanisms have been gradually revealed in the pathogenesis of chronic urticaria, such as the interaction of immune cells in the microenvironment of urticaria, intestinal flora and metabolism, neuroimmunity, environmental factors and hormones. Clarifying the pathogenesis of chronic urticaria will help to find more treatment targets and provide more diversified ideas for clinical diagnosis and treatment."

In this context, natural products and repurposed compounds hold promise as novel therapeutic and preventive agents. Strengthening the skin's antioxidant defense mechanisms is pivotal in neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitigating oxidative stress. Sunset Yellow (SY) exhibits immunomodulatory characteristics, evidenced by its capacity to partially inhibit the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, regulate immune cell populations, and modulate the activation of lymphocytes. This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant and anti-genotoxic properties of SY using in-silico, in vitro, and physiochemical test systems, and to further explore its potential role in 7,12-dimethylbenz(a) anthracene (DMBA)/ 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced two-stage skin carcinogenesis. In vitro experiments showed that pre-treatment of SY significantly enhanced the cell viability of HaCaT cells when exposed to tertiary-Butyl Hydrogen Peroxide (tBHP). This increase was accompanied by reduced ROS levels, restoration of mitochondrial membrane potential, and notable reduction in DNA damage in (SY + tBHP) treated cells. Mechanistic investigations using DPPH chemical antioxidant activity test and potentiometric titrations confirmed SY's antioxidant properties, with a standard reduction potential ( "

Owing to their potential tumor-suppressive properties by regulating oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, microRNAs are important player in melanoma development and progression. We defined the loss of miR-101-3p expression in melanoma cells compared with melanocytes and melanoblast-related cells as an early event in tumor development and aimed to understand the tumor suppressive role of miR-101-3p and its regulation of important cellular processes. Reexpression of miR-101-3p resulted in inhibition of proliferation, increase in DNA damage, and induction of apoptosis. We further determined the nuclear structure protein Lamin B1, which influences nuclear processes and heterochromatin structure, ATRX, CASP3, and PARP as an important direct target of miR-101-3p. RNA sequencing and differential gene expression analysis after miR-101-3p reexpression supported our findings and the importance of loss of mir-101-3p for melanoma progression. The validated functional effects are related to genomic instability, as recent studies suggest miRNAs plays a key role in mediating this cellular process. Therefore, we concluded that miR-101-3p reexpression increases the genomic instability, leading to irreversible DNA damage, which leads to apoptosis induction. Our findings suggest that the loss of miR-101-3p in melanoma serves as an early event in melanoma progression by influencing the genomic integrity to maintain the increased bioenergetic demand."

To identify key molecules and cells inducing this side effect, we characterized IL-2-induced cutaneous immune reactions and investigated the relevance of CD25 (IL-2 receptor α) in the process. We injected IL-2 intradermally into WT mice and observed increases in immune cell subsets in the skin with preferential increases in frequencies of IL-4- and IL-13-producing group 2 innate lymphoid cells and IL-17-producing dermal γδ T cells. This overall led to a shift toward type 2/type 17 immune responses. In addition, using a novel topical genetic deletion approach, we reduced CD25 on skin, specifically on all cutaneous cells, and found that IL-2-dependent effects were reduced, hinting that CD25 - at least partly - induces this skin inflammation. Reduction of CD25 specifically on skin Tregs further augmented IL-2-induced immune cell infiltration, hinting that CD25 on skin Tregs is crucial to restrain IL-2-induced inflammation. Overall, our data support that innate lymphoid immune cells are key cells inducing side effects during IL-2 therapy and underline the significance of CD25 in this process."

Skin, lungs, and breast are the most common primary lesions of STMs and rarely the presenting symptoms. We present an STM from lung adenocarcinoma that became a presenting symptom in nonsmoking woman. CASE REPORT A 47-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a painful mass in her right thigh and weight loss of 10 kg for 4 months. Femoral radiograph revealed a lesion suggestive of bone sarcoma. However, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed it was more likely a primary soft tissue sarcoma. A small mediastinal mass was noticed on preoperative chest radiograph, and the patient denied any symptoms except the mass in the right thigh. Our clinicopathological conference team decided to perform a biopsy of mediastinal and right thigh masses. Histopathology examinations confirmed the right thigh mass as soft tissue metastasis from mediastinal mass, confirmed as lung adenocarcinoma. We treated the patient with palliative care with zoledronic acid and gefitinib. At the 6-month follow-up, the patient's symptoms significantly improved, and MRI showed a marked size reduction. CONCLUSIONS Diagnosis of STM can be difficult when presenting as the primary manifestation. Failure to identify promptly can lead to rapid disease progression and unfavorable prognosis. Failure to diagnose primary malignancy during biopsy occurs in approximately 28% of cases. This report has the potential to facilitate the avoidance of unnecessary procedures and highlight the importance of using a multidisciplinary approach in managing cases with malignancy."

The difficulty in its treatment arises from its ability to suppress the immune system, making it crucial to find a substance that increases anti-tumor immunity. C-phycocyanin (C-PC) appears as a promising bioactive, with multifaceted effects against several cancers, but its efficacy against melanoma has only been tested in vitro. Therefore, we investigated C-PC's the anti-tumor and immunomodulatory action in a murine melanoma model. The tumor was subcutaneously induced in C57BL/6 mice by injecting B16F10 cells. The animals were injected subcutaneously with C-PC for three consecutive days. After euthanasia, the tumor was weighed and measured. The inguinal lymph node was removed, and the cells were stained with antibodies and analyzed by flow cytometry. The heart, brain and lung were analyzed by histopathology. C-PC increased the B cell population of the inguinal lymph node in percentage and absolute number. The absolute number of T lymphocytes and myeloid cells were also increased in the groups treated with C-PC. Thus, C-PC showed a positive immunomodulatory effect both animals with and without tumor. However, this effect was more pronounced in the presence of the tumor. Positive immune system modulation may be associated with a reduction in tumor growth in animals treated with C-PC. Administration of C-PC subcutaneously did not cause organ damage. Our findings demonstrate C-PC's immunomodulatory and anti-melanoma action, paving the way for clinical research with this bioactive."

The safety and efficacy of this approach has been demonstrated in recent years. However, the optimal timing between stages has not been established. The authors provide their experience with this staged approach with emphasis on timing between stages. An institutional review board approved this retrospective study. Data of all patients at a single institution who underwent staged NSM following mastopexy or reduction mammaplasty for therapeutic or prophylactic oncologic surgical management from 2016 to 2020 were reviewed. Timing between stages as well as surgical, oncologic, aesthetic, and patient-reported outcomes were evaluated. Nineteen patients (38 breasts) underwent staged NSM following planned mastopexy/breast reduction. The mean time interval between stages was 25 weeks. No patients developed nipple areolar complex necrosis. Infection and hematoma were seen in one breast (2.6%) and seroma in two (5.3%) after NSM. Delayed wound healing was seen in eight breasts (21.1%) after first stage mastopexy/reduction and in 12 breasts (31.6%) after NSM. Skin flap necrosis was noted in two breasts (5.3%) after NSM. No patients developed oncological recurrence. Mean patient-reported post-operative satisfaction and well-being scores were 63 and 67 out of 100, respectively. The authors describe their experience with staged NSM following nipple repositioning procedures. Their results suggest that this procedure can be performed safely with cosmetically favorable results if surgeons wait an average of 25 weeks between first and second stage procedures."

As the largest and outermost organ of the body, direct exposure of skin to sunlight or UV radiation can result in sunburn, inflammation, photo-immunosuppression, photoaging and even skin cancers. To date, there are tactics to protect the skin by preventing UV radiation and reducing the amount of UV radiation to the skin. Nevertheless, deciphering the essential regulatory mechanisms may pave the way for therapeutic interventions against UV-induced skin disorders. Additionally, UV light is considered beneficial for specific skin-related conditions in medical UV therapy. Recent evidence indicates that the biological effects of UV exposure extend beyond the skin and include the treatment of inflammatory diseases, solid tumors and certain abnormal behaviors. This review mainly focuses on the effects of UV on the skin. Moreover, novel findings of the biological effects of UV in other organs and systems are also summarized. Nevertheless, the mechanisms through which UV affects the human organism remain to be fully elucidated to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of its biological effects."

Syringoid eccrine carcinoma (SEC) is often a diagnostic dilemma due to its morphology and presentation. Usually, these malignancies arise as non-ulcerated nodules or plaques in the head & neck region including the trunk. They are locally aggressive and have an infiltrative growth pattern with a propensity for metastasis. SEC is characterized by syringoma-like tadpole morphology with ductular differentiation and predominant desmoplasia. Immunostaining in SEC is variable and this variability is believed to arise from the tumor's ability to differentiate along multiple routes including sweat secretory and or ductal differentiation.

+7326,skin cancer,38427689,Dose optimization of an adjuvanted peptide-based personalized neoantigen melanoma vaccine.,"The advancements in next-generation sequencing have made it possible to effectively detect somatic mutations, which has led to the development of personalized neoantigen cancer vaccines that are tailored to the unique variants found in a patient's cancer. These vaccines can provide significant clinical benefit by leveraging the patient's immune response to eliminate malignant cells. However, determining the optimal vaccine dose for each patient is a challenge due to the heterogeneity of tumors. To address this challenge, we formulate a mathematical dose optimization problem based on a previous mathematical model that encompasses the immune response cascade produced by the vaccine in a patient. We propose an optimization approach to identify the optimal personalized vaccine doses, considering a fixed vaccination schedule, while simultaneously minimizing the overall number of tumor and activated T cells. To validate our approach, we perform in silico experiments on six real-world clinical trial patients with advanced melanoma. We compare the results of applying an optimal vaccine dose to those of a suboptimal dose (the dose used in the clinical trial and its deviations). Our simulations reveal that an optimal vaccine regimen of higher initial doses and lower final doses may lead to a reduction in tumor size for certain patients. Our mathematical dose optimization offers a promising approach to determining an optimal vaccine dose for each patient and improving clinical outcomes."

However, traditional treatments lack effectiveness in advanced or metastatic patients. Immunotherapy, meanwhile, has been shown to be an effective treatment option, but the rate of cancers responding remains far from ideal. Here we have developed a personalized neoantigen peptide-based cancer vaccine by encapsulating patient derived melanoma neoantigens in polyethylenimine (PEI)-functionalised poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) and coating them with polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)). We found that PLGA NPs can be effectively modified to be coated with the immunoadjuvant poly(I:C), as well as to encapsulate neoantigens. In addition, we found that both dendritic cells (DCs) and lymphocytes were effectively stimulated. Moreover, the developed NP was found to have a better immune activation profile than NP without poly(I:C) or without antigen. Our results demonstrate that the developed vaccine has a high capacity to activate the immune system, efficiently maturing DCs to present the antigen of choice and promoting the activity of lymphocytes to exert their cytotoxic function. Therefore, the immune response generated is optimal and specific for the elimination of melanoma tumour cells."

The objective of this review is to present a comprehensive overview of HRUS applications, emphasising its utility in diagnosing, characterising and managing various dermatological conditions. We undertook a comprehensive literature review on the dermatological application of HRUS across Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library databases, while also incorporating our own clinical experience of over 16 years with the tool. In normal skin, the epidermis and dermis are hyperechoic, and the subcutaneous layer is hypoechoic. Basal cell carcinomas appear hypoechoic with irregular margins, while the presence of hyperechoic inclusion bodies suggests aggressive pathology. Squamous cell carcinomas pose challenges due to acoustic shadow artefacts from the thickened stratum corneum. Melanomas are homogenous hypoechoic lesions, with HRUS used to accurately predict Breslow thickness. HRUS provides dermatologists with a valuable adjunct to traditional clinical examination. Future advancement in image resolution and the standardisation of diagnostic parameters may further expand its utility."

Following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, autophagy, a cellular stress protective response, is induced in host nonhematopoietic cells. To systematically address the role of autophagy in various host nonhematopoietic tissues, both specific classical target organs of acute GVHD (intestines, liver, and skin) and organs conventionally not known to be targets of GVHD (kidneys and heart), we generated mice with organ-specific knockout of autophagy related 5 (ATG5) to specifically and exclusively inhibit autophagy in the specific organs. When compared with wild-type recipients, animals that lacked ATG5 in the gastrointestinal tract or liver showed significantly greater tissue injury and mortality, while autophagy deficiency in the skin, kidneys, or heart did not affect mortality. Treatment with the systemic autophagy inducer sirolimus only partially mitigated GVHD mortality in intestine-specific autophagy-deficient hosts. Deficiency of autophagy increased MHC class I on the target intestinal epithelial cells, resulting in greater susceptibility to damage by alloreactive T cells. Thus, autophagy is a critical cell-intrinsic protective response that promotes tissue tolerance and regulates GVHD severity."

Results showed that elderly programme patients had lower odds of amputation-free survival (odds ratio: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.47, 0.88) and shorter cumulative length of stay (LOS) compared to younger programme patients (incidence rate ratio: 0.45, 95% CI: 0.29, 0.69). Compared to the matched controls, participating in the programme was associated with 5% higher probability of minor lower extremity amputation, reduced inpatient admissions and emergency visits, shorter LOS but increased specialist and primary care visits (all p-values <0.05). The findings suggest that the programme yielded favourable impacts on the clinical outcomes of patients aged≥80 years with DFUs. Further research is needed to develop specific interventions tailoring to the needs of the elderly population and to determine their effectiveness on patient outcomes while accounting for potential confounding factors."

Concerningly, recent research also shows that tumor cells can disseminate early during melanoma progression and enter dormant states, eventually leading to metastases at a future time. Immune escape and metastasis have previously been viewed as separate phenomena; however, accumulating evidence is breaking down this dichotomy. Recent research into the progressive mechanisms of melanoma provides evidence that dedifferentiation similar to classical epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), genes involved in neural crest stem cell maintenance, and hypoxia/acidosis, are important factors simultaneously involved in immune escape and metastasis. The likeness between EMT and early dissemination, and differences, also become apparent in these contexts. Detailed knowledge of the mechanisms behind ""dual drivers"" simultaneously promoting metastatically inclined and immunosuppressive environments can yield novel strategies effective in disabling multiple facets of melanoma progression. Furthermore, understanding progression through these drivers may provide insight towards novel treatments capable of preventing recurrence arising from dormant dissemination or improving immunotherapy outcomes."

The treatment method of gestational gigantomastia is unclear; if the medical treatment is ineffective, surgery is considered. However, sufficient research on which method is best to perform breast reconstruction for the gestational gigantomastia patient has not yet been conducted. Our patient was young and had aesthetic needs; thus, we did not recommend modified radical mastectomy. However, it was difficult for the patient to consider active reconstruction using an implant or autologous tissue because of the expected complications and economic problems. The patient had a thin body shape and very large breasts compared with the trunk. Therefore, breast volume was not significantly required after reconstruction. Additionally, we expected that a considerable portion of skin would remain after mastectomy as a tubular-shaped breast. It was expected that the Goldilocks technique would be sufficient to meet the patient's volume needs. Therefore, we proceeded with total mastectomy and reconstruction using the Goldilocks procedure. No complications were recorded after the operation; most of the patient's discomfort was resolved, and the shape and size of the breasts were satisfactory."

However, compared to adults, children as a special group have not yet matured fully in terms of liver and kidney function. Moreover, pediatric patients are prone to more adverse drug reactions (ADRs) from the accumulation of antineoplastic drugs due to their smaller body size and larger body surface area. Chemotherapy-related ADRs have become a non-negligible factor that affects cancer remission. To date, studies on ADRs in pediatric cancer patients have emerged internationally, but few systematic summaries are available. Here, we reviewed the various systemic ADRs associated with antitumor drugs in children and adolescent patients, as well as the advances in strategies to cope with ADRs, which consisted of neurotoxicity, hematological toxicity, cardiotoxicity, ADRs of the respiratory system and gastrointestinal system and urinary system, ADRs of the skin and its adnexa, allergic reactions, and other ADRs. For clinicians and researchers, understanding the causes, symptoms, and coping strategies for ADRs caused by anticancer treatments will undoubtedly benefit more children."

Immunotherapy (IT) is emerging as a promising approach, especially after the failure of standard of care therapies (STs). The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate whether the addition of IT to STs improves outcomes for patients with HNSCC, including overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and quality of life (QoL). This review employed the Population Intervention Comparison and Outcome (PICO) framework to identify relevant search terms in electronic databases, and also included supplementary hand searches. Six primary research articles were selected using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) flow chart, and were critically appraised. Data extraction from these studies was conducted, and a meta-analysis was performed to aid in the generation of forest plots. The addition of IT to standard anticancer therapies was found to enhance patient outcomes, such as OS, PFS, and QoL. The toxicity profile of IT was acceptable, with minimal treatment-related deaths. The most frequently observed adverse events (AE) were related to the skin, followed by hematological toxicities. Based on our analysis, the addition of IT to STs is a suitable treatment option and is supported by current research. However, further studies are needed to investigate factors that influence treatment effectiveness and to develop optimal therapies. To achieve this, we recommend a comprehensive treatment approach that involves the multidisciplinary team (MDT) and patient assessment tools."

+7354,skin cancer,38423396,The role of positional information in determining dermal fibroblast diversity.,"The largest mammalian organ, skin, consisting of a dermal connective tissue layer that underlies and supports the epidermis, acts as a protective barrier that excludes external pathogens and disseminates sensory signals emanating from the local microenvironment. Dermal connective tissue is comprised of a collagen-rich extracellular matrix (ECM) that is produced by connective tissue fibroblasts resident within the dermis. When wounded, a tissue repair program is induced whereby fibroblasts, in response to alterations in the microenvironment, produce new ECM components, resulting in the formation of a scar. Failure to terminate the normal tissue repair program causes fibrotic conditions including: hypertrophic scars, keloids, and the systemic autoimmune connective tissue disease scleroderma (systemic sclerosis, SSc). Histological and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) studies have revealed that fibroblasts are heterogeneous and highly plastic. Understanding how this diversity contributes to dermal homeostasis, wounding, fibrosis, and cancer may ultimately result in novel anti-fibrotic therapies and personalized medicine. This review summarizes studies supporting this concept."

+7356,skin cancer,38423231,A novel mitochondria-targeting DHODH inhibitor induces robust ferroptosis and alleviates immune suppression.,"Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH)-mediated ferroptosis defense is a targetable vulnerability in cancer. Currently, only a few DHODH inhibitors have been utilized in clinical practice. To further enhance DHODH targeting, we introduced the mitochondrial targeting group triphenylphosphine (TPP) to brequinar (BRQ), a robust DHODH inhibitor, resulting in the creation of active molecule B2. This compound exhibits heightened anticancer activity, effectively inhibiting proliferation in various cancer cells, and restraining tumor growth in melanoma xenografts in mice. B2 achieves these effects by targeting DHODH, triggering the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), promoting mitochondrial lipid peroxidation, and inducing ferroptosis in B16F10 and A375 cells. Surprisingly, B2 significantly downregulates PD-L1 and alleviates immune suppression. Importantly, B2 exhibits no apparent adverse effects in mice. Collectively, these findings highlight that enhancing the mitochondrial targeting capability of the DHODH inhibitor is a promising therapeutic approach for melanoma treatment."

+7358,skin cancer,38423155,Co-delivery of doxorubicin and STING agonist cGAMP for enhanced antitumor immunity.,"Many chemotherapeutic agents can induce immunogenic cell death (ICD), which leads to the release of danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and tumor-associated antigens. This process promotes dendritic cells (DCs) maturation and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) infiltration. However, cancer cells can employ diverse mechanisms to evade the host immune system. Recent studies have shown that stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonists, such as cGAMP, can amplify ICD-triggered immune responses and enhance the infiltration of immune cells into the tumor microenvironment (TME). Building upon these findings, we constructed a doxorubicin (DOX) and cGAMP co-delivery system (DOX/cGAMP@NPs) for melanoma and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) therapy. The results demonstrated that DOX could effectively destroy tumors and induce the release of DAMPs by ICD.

+7364,skin cancer,32644715,Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation (AVMs) (Archived),"Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are the abnormal connections between a pulmonary artery and a pulmonary vein. Most cases are congenital, and although uncommon, they are a significant part of the differential diagnosis of pulmonary problems like hypoxemia and lung nodules. These abnormal communications between pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins usually bypass the capillary bed and lead to right-to-left shunting of blood, which in turn can lead to symptoms depending on the degree of blood shunting. Pulmonary AVMs are also known by other terms such as pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas, pulmonary arterio-venous aneurysms, cavernous hemangiomas, and pulmonary angiomas. In 1897 during an autopsy study, this malformation was recorded for the first time in literature by Churton. Most patients with pulmonary AVMs have the autosomal dominant disease hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). However, about 15% of patients with pulmonary AVMs do not meet the criteria for the diagnosis of HHT and do not have any other systemic disease. Pulmonary AVMs may also be acquired and found in patients with liver cirrhosis. In these patients, the absence of hepatic 'factor' may lead to the formation of pulmonary AVMs. Pulmonary AVMs may also be acquired secondary to schistosomiasis, tuberculosis, and metastatic thyroid cancer. Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant disorder. The clinical features are secondary to vascular malformations in various organs of the body, most commonly the skin, nasopharynx, GI tract, lungs, and brain. HHT is recognized as a triad of cutaneous telangiectasia, a family history of the disorder, and recurrent epistaxis."
+7365,skin cancer,32310586,Trigeminal Neuropathy,"Trigeminal neuropathy refers to dysfunction in sensory or motor functions involving cranial nerve V, the trigeminal nerve. Trigeminal neuropathy (TNO) typically presents with numbness in the region innervated by the trigeminal nerve, sometimes associated with paresthesias, pain, or masticatory weakness. TNO can present from the involvement of the fifth cranial nerve (CN V) anywhere in its course, from the nuclei in the brain stem to its peripheral branches. It can be caused by known etiologies such as traumas, tumors, rheumatologic diseases, demyelinating, or idiopathic ones. Sometimes, TNO can be the initial manifestation of an underlying tumor or a relapse from a known neoplastic process. Multiple sclerosis, glioma, and infarct are the most commonly reported abnormalities in the brain stem that cause trigeminal neuropathy. Neurovascular compression, schwannomas, and meningiomas are common cisternal causes. Unilateral TNO could be secondary to focal lesions, while bilateral, symmetric presentations can be seen with connective tissue diseases or idiopathic etiology. TNO can cause facial pain in the distribution of one or more trigeminal nerve branches. The pain in trigeminal neuropathy is usually continuous, described as burning or squeezing, and is often accompanied by allodynia and cold hyperalgesia. While the symptoms of TNO can be concerning, it is most important to rule out potentially harmful underlying conditions such as malignancy, vascular malformation, and autoimmune diseases.  Trigeminal neuralgia should not be confused with trigeminal neuropathy. Trigeminal neuralgia is a paroxysmal, electric shock-like pain that is abrupt in onset and termination, without sensory loss or motor weakness. Classic trigeminal neuralgia can be due to neurovascular compression of CN V. Secondary trigeminal neuralgia is caused by various conditions like multiple sclerosis, vascular malformation, or autoimmune disease. "

This study aimed to investigate the frequency as well as gross and pathological characteristics of round cell tumors in natural cases of tumorous dogs in relation to breed, sex, and age. Moreover, it aimed to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of a panel of immunohistochemical stains, including vimentin, E-cadherin, and cluster of differentiation (CD45) as an adjunct technique for the differential diagnosis of cutaneous round cell neoplasm. Data were collected from 64 dogs of both sexes (36 females and 28 males), various breeds, and different ages (8 months to 7 years). The histopathological nature of neoplastic growth was reported, and neoplasm prevalence was classified using age, sex, breed, and site on the body. We observed 48 cases of transmissible venereal tumors, 12 cutaneous histiocytomas, and 4 histiocytic sarcoma. Immunohistochemical characterization revealed an intense positive immunoreactivity for vimentin in transmissible venereal tumor cells and moderate positive immunoreactivity for E-cadherin and CD45 in cutaneous histiocytoma and histiocytic sarcoma cells. In conclusion, the canine transmissible venereal tumor was the most frequent form of round cell tumor; thus, a definitive cutaneous neoplasm diagnosis should be based on histopathological morphology and immunohistochemical findings."

However, it is not well known whether Oct4 has an impact on epidermal cells. We generated OCT4 knockout clonal cell lines using immortalized human skin keratinocytes to identify a functional role for the protein. Here, we report that Oct4-deficient cells transitioned into a mesenchymal-like phenotype with enlarged size and shape, exhibited accelerated migratory behavior, decreased adhesion, and appeared arrested at the G2/M cell cycle checkpoint. Oct4 absence had a profound impact on cortical actin organization, with loss of microfilaments from the cell membrane, increased puncta deposition in the cytoplasm, and stress fiber formation. E-cadherin, β-catenin, and ZO1 were almost absent from cell-cell contacts, while fibronectin deposition was markedly increased in the extracellular matrix (ECM). Mapping of the transcriptional and chromatin profiles of Oct4-deficient cells revealed that Oct4 controls the levels of cytoskeletal, ECM, and differentiation-related genes, whereas epithelial identity is preserved through transcriptional and non-transcriptional mechanisms."

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a crucial role in regulating gene transcription and are involved in various biological processes. Although recent studies have demonstrated the involvement of lncRNAs in cervical cancer, their expression profile and function in CA remain poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to identify messenger RNA (mRNA) and lncRNA expression patterns in CA using high-throughput lncRNA sequencing. We found that 3033 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 1090 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) were significantly altered in CA compared to healthy controls. The results from quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical staining are in accordance with the observed trends in the sequencing data. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that upregulated DEGs in CA were involved in biological processes such as virus response, immune response, cell cycle regulation, the tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway, and the P53 signaling pathway. Co-expression network analysis identified potential target genes of DELs, with enrichment in biological processes such as cell differentiation, the intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway, and pathways such as virus infection, pathways in cancer, T helper 17 cell differentiation, the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway, and the Wnt signaling pathway. Collectively, our findings indicate significant changes in the transcriptome profile, including mRNAs and lncRNAs, in CA compared to healthy controls. Our study provides new insights into the potential functions of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of CA and identifies potential therapeutic targets for this disease."

Based on the observation of mouse dorsal skin changes, RUT can protect against inflammation to improve psoriasis-like skin damage in mice. Additionally, RUT could suppress the expression levels of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-23, IL-17A, IL-22, IL-6, and IFN-α) within skin tissue samples. Concerning gut microbiota, we find obvious variations within the composition of gut microflora between IMQ-induced psoriasis mice and RUT-treated psoriasis mice. RUT effectively mediates the recovery of gut microbiota in mice induced by IMQ application. Psoriasis is linked to the production of several inflammatory cytokines and gut microbiome alterations. This research shows that RUT might restore gut microbiota homeostasis, reduce inflammatory cytokine production, and ameliorate psoriasis symptoms. In conclusion, the gut microbiota might be a therapeutic target or biomarker for psoriasis that aids in clinical diagnosis and therapy."

It generally manifests as a linear wheal after scratching or friction, with or without angioedema. The pathophysiology is not clear, but currently, we believe that the stimulation of the skin by mechanical stress leads to the activation of mast cells, which provoke the release of histamine and pro-inflammatory mediators, ultimately forming wheal along the stressed area. The gold standard for diagnosis is a medical history and provocation test or dermatographic test. As one of the subtypes of chronic urticaria, the Urticaria Control Test (UCT), Chronic Urticaria Quality of Life questionnaire (CU-Q2oL), and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) are also effective tools for evaluating disease control in dermographism patients. In addition to avoiding triggers, nonsedating H1 antihistamines are the first-line medications recommended by EAACI and other guidelines; for those who do not respond to standard doses, the recommended dosage can be increased up to 4 times. When necessary, the off-label use of omalizumab can be considered, and some drugs with potential therapeutic effects are still being explored. However, there is still a lack of biomarkers for predicting disease severity, efficacy, and prognosis. Here, we review what we know about dermographism and some points that need exploration in the future."

Recently, breakthrough Trichosporon infections after administration of micafungin, the first-line systemic antifungal agent in compromised hosts, have been widely recognized. A man in his seventies about 1 month into chemotherapy for acute megakaryoblastic leukemia presented with a worsening fever and dyspnea. The patient was being administered with empirical micafungin therapy for suspected candidiasis. As the symptoms progressed, scattered erythema appeared on the trunk, some with a dark red vesicle at the center. Blood cultures identified Trichosporon asahii, as did the specimen of the skin biopsy. On the basis also of the presence of pneumonia on chest computed tomography, we confirmed the diagnosis of disseminated trichosporonosis and changed the antifungal agent from micafungin to voriconazole. Blood culture turned out to be negative 1 month after administrating voriconazole. However, the patient died of the leukemia. Our review of previous reports on cutaneous manifestations of disseminated trichosporonosis revealed that despite their morphological diversity, erythema with a red papule or vesicle at the center, implying necrosis, was also observed in previous cases. Our case report suggests that dermatologists should be aware of skin manifestations of disseminated trichosporonosis after micafungin administration, especially in cases of hematological malignancies."

This multicenter, single-arm Phase II trial (NICAM) investigates nilotinib safety and activity in KIT mutated metastatic MM and AM. KIT mutations are identified in 39/219 screened patients (18%); of 29/39 treated, 26 are evaluable for primary analysis. Six patients were alive and progression free at 6 months (local radiology review, 25%); 5/26 (19%) had objective response at 12 weeks; median OS was 7.7 months; ddPCR assay correctly identifies KIT alterations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in 16/17 patients. Nilotinib is active in KIT-mutant AM and MM, comparable to other KIT inhibitors, with demonstrable activity in nonhotspot KIT mutations, supporting broadening of KIT evaluation in AM and MM.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have demonstrated diverse regulatory roles in cancer and hold promise as biomarkers. However, the involvement and prognostic significance of cuproptosis-related lncRNAs (CRLs) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remain poorly understood. Based on TCGA-OSCC data, we integrated single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA), the LASSO algorithm, and the tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion (TIDE) algorithm. We identified 11 CRLs through differential expression, Spearman correlation, and univariate Cox regression analyses. Two distinct CRL-related subtypes were unveiled, delineating divergent survival patterns, tumor microenvironments (TME), and mutation profiles. A robust CRL-based signature (including AC107027.3, AC008011.2, MYOSLID, AC005785.1, AC019080.5, AC020558.2, AC025265.1, FAM27E3, and LINC02367) prognosticated OSCC outcomes, immunotherapy responses, and anti-tumor strategies. Superior predictive power compared to other lncRNA models was demonstrated. Functional assessments confirmed the influence of FAM27E3, LINC02367, and MYOSLID knockdown on OSCC cell behaviors. Remarkably, the CRLs-based signature maintained stability across OSCC patient subgroups, underscoring its clinical potential for survival prediction. This study elucidates CRLs' roles in TME of OSCC and establishes a potential signature for precision therapy."

Histological examination of the pinnal biopsy by a diagnostic laboratory revealed a densely cellular neoplasm with haphazardly arranged round to spindle cells with high mitotic activity and epitheliotropism. The initial diagnosis was a poorly differentiated malignant neoplasm with differential diagnoses including melanoma, tumour of histiocytic origin and, less likely, a pleomorphic lymphoma. A panel of melanoma immunohistochemical markers and immunolabelling for CD18 were pursued. Neoplastic cells were immunopositive for CD18 but negative for Melan-A, PNL2, TRP-1 and TRP-2, suggestive of a histiocytic tumour or lymphoma. The left ear masses recurred, and more masses developed on the body. The pinnectomized ear was submitted to the University of Missouri Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory. Similar cells were seen and were immunolabelled for CD18 and CD3 but were immunonegative for SOX10, CD79a and CD20. PCR for antigen receptor rearrangements revealed a clonal rearrangement of T-cell receptor gamma. These findings enabled a final diagnosis of epitheliotropic T-cell lymphoma with spindle cell morphology. Lymphoma should be considered as a potential differential diagnosis for cutaneous nodules of spindle cell morphology and lymphocytic immunohistochemical markers should be included in diagnostic panels."

The delay in treatment will induce metastasis, resulting in a poor prognosis and even death. Here, a two-step strategy for on-site diagnosis of MM is developed based on the extraction and direct visual quantification of S100A1, a biomarker for melanoma. First, a swellable microneedle is utilized to extract S100A1 in skin interstitial fluid (ISF) with minimal invasion. After elution, antibody-conjugated magnetic microparticles (MMPs) and polystyrene microparticles (PMPs) are introduced. A high expression level of S100A1 gives rise to a robust binding between MMPs and PMPs and reduces the number of free PMPs. By loading the reacted solution into the device with a microfluidic particle dam, the quantity of free PMPs after magnetic separation is displayed with their accumulation length inversely proportional to S100A1 levels.

There has been a steady trend of an increase in diagnosis of intramammary metastases owing to the current advances in imaging technology. Imaging features depend on the type of primary neoplasm and route of dissemination, some of which resemble primary breast cancer and benign breast entities. There are certain imaging features that raise the level of suspicion for metastases in the correct clinical context. However, imaging manifestations of intramammary metastases do not always comply with the known classic patterns. The aim of this review is to clarify these features, emphasizing radiologic-pathologic correlation and a multidisciplinary approach, since most cases are found in patients with advanced disease."

Patients of all ages may present with involvement of the skin, lymph nodes, intestinal tract, bone, and/or central nervous system. Isolated involvement of the breast is rare, and only a small number of cases have been described in the literature. Breast MS may present as a palpable mass on clinical evaluation. In this broad literature review from 2010 to 2022, the most common findings on mammography are either solitary or multiple masses, followed by architectural distortion and, less commonly, no discrete findings. Sonography may demonstrate hypoechoic or mixed echogenicity mass(es) with circumscribed or indistinct, not discrete margins. Myeloid sarcoma may present as an enhancing mass or nonmass enhancement on breast MRI and is typically moderately radiotracer avid on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-PET. At histopathology, MS is characterized by myeloid blasts in varying stages of granulocytic or neutrophilic maturation; diagnosis typically requires immunophenotyping. There is no consensus for treatment of MS, although systemic chemotherapy for AML is often used as MS is considered the tissue equivalent of AML. This article will discuss and illustrate imaging and pathology findings when the breast is involved by MS."
+7421,skin cancer,38416884,Breast Angiosarcoma: Imaging Features With Histopathologic Correlation.,"Breast angiosarcoma is a rare malignancy of endothelial origin that can be categorized as primary angiosarcoma (PAS) or secondary angiosarcoma (SAS) based on etiology. Primary angiosarcoma typically affects younger women with no known risk factors, whereas SAS of the breast typically develops in older women who have undergone breast cancer treatment. There are two types of SAS, one that develops in the setting of chronic lymphedema and one that develops as a radiation-associated neoplasm after breast-conserving therapy (BCT). Clinically, PAS often presents as a palpable mass that may be rapidly growing, whereas SAS presents with skin changes such as erythematous plaques or nodules or with areas of skin discoloration. Mammographically, the appearance of PAS can be nonspecific and may be obscured by the dense tissue that is characteristic of the young patient population it typically affects. Cases of mammographically occult PAS have been visible at US and MRI. Mammography and US have been found to be less sensitive than MRI for the diagnosis of secondary radiation-associated angiosarcoma. Angiosarcomas, both PAS and SAS, are graded, depending on degree of differentiation, as low, intermediate, or high grade. Endothelial markers such as ERG and CD31 immunohistochemical stains are used to support the diagnosis of angiosarcomas. In this article, we review the clinical presentation, imaging findings, associated histopathology, and treatment of primary and secondary breast angiosarcoma."

Platelets, a rich source of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and key mediators in thromboinflammatory oncological progression, as well as leukocytes, are both processed through ECP and are subsequently transfused back into the patient, delivering potent immunomodulation. The effect of exposing platelets and their EVs directly to Ultra Violet A light (UVA)/8-methoxypsoralen is currently unknown. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was isolated from healthy donors and exposed to UVA light and/or 8-methoxysporalen in vitro and platelet activation and aggregation was assessed. EV size and concentration were also characterised by Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis and Flow Cytometry. We found that UVA light and 8-methoxypsoralen treatment in vitro does not induce platelet aggregation or significantly alter levels of the platelet activation markers, soluble P-selectin or platelet factor 4, with circulating levels of small and large EV size and concentration remaining constant. Therefore, utilising the combination of UVA light and 8-methoxypsoralen used in ECP in vitro does not activate platelets or alter important circulating EVs.

Lymphoma treatment is based on chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and monoclonal antibody (mAb) or other immunotherapies. The P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1) is expressed at the surface of hematological malignant cells and has been shown to have a pro-oncogenic role in multiple myeloma and lymphoma. Here, we investigated the expression and therapeutic potential of PSGL-1 in T and B cell lymphomas. By flow cytometry analysis, we found that PSGL-1 was expressed in both T and B cell-derived lymphoma cell lines but generally at higher levels in T cell lymphoma cell lines. For most T and B cell-derived lymphoma cell lines, in vitro targeting with the PL1 mAb, which recognizes the PSGL-1 N-terminal extracellular region and blocks functional interactions with selectins, resulted in reduced cell viability. The PL1 mAb pro-apoptotic activity was shown to be dose-dependent, to be linked to increased ERK kinase phosphorylation, and to be dependent on the MAP kinase signaling pathway. Importantly, anti-PSGL-1 treatment of mice xenografted with the HUT-78 cutaneous T-cell lymphoma cell line resulted in decreased tumor growth, had no effect on in vivo proliferation, but increased the levels of apoptosis in tumors. Anti-PSGL-1 treatment of mice xenografted with a Burkitt lymphoma cell line that was resistant to anti-PSGL-1 treatment in vitro, had no impact on tumorigenesis. These findings show that PSGL-1 antibody targeting triggers lymphoma cell apoptosis and substantiates PSGL-1 as a potential target for lymphoma therapy."

LPDV infection is often subclinical but can manifest as lymphoid proliferation or round cell neoplasia. Despite high prevalence across many sampled areas corresponding to declining populations of wild turkeys, knowledge regarding LPDV pathogenesis, risk factors for disease development, and associated impacts on population dynamics are unknown. To understand transmission, viral shedding, and tissue tropism, we inoculated 21 domestic turkeys via the oral cavity, crop, nasal cavity, subcutis, or coelomic cavity. For 12 weeks, oropharyngeal swabs, cloacal swabs, and whole blood were collected weekly. At 1 week postinoculation, 3 turkeys (3/21; 14%) had detectable LPDV proviral DNA in blood by polymerase chain reaction, and 10 developed DNAemia (50%; 10/20) by 12 weeks. LPDV proviral DNA was intermittently detected in oropharyngeal and cloacal swabs. Splenomegaly was the most consistent gross finding in DNAemic birds (8/11; 73%). Lymphoid hyperplasia in the spleen was the most significant microscopic finding (9/11; 82%). Three turkeys (3/11; 27%) developed round cell neoplasia characterized by sheets of pleomorphic, round to polygonal cells in the adrenal gland, bone marrow, skin, small intestine, and/or spleen. LPDV was detected in the spleen and bone marrow from all turkeys with DNAemia and all neoplasms. Our study establishes that infection and disease with North American LPDV from wild turkeys can be experimentally reproduced in domestic turkeys, laying the groundwork for future investigations into LPDV pathogenesis, development of diagnostic techniques, and understanding the impacts of LPDV on wild turkey populations."

The annual incidence of dermatomyositis stands at approximately (5~10)/1 million individuals. Notably, patients with malignant tumors exhibit an elevated risk of developing dermatomyositis compared to the general population. However, in cases where dermatomyositis co-occurs with malignancy, the efficacy of hormone therapy alone tends to be suboptimal. Moreover, reports addressing the correlation between tumor treatment and the management of dermatomyositis are scarce. A 60-year-old male patient presented with dermatomyositis, initially manifesting through symptoms such as rash, muscle weakness, and dysphagia. Despite undergoing standard hormone therapy, there was no discernible improvement in the dermatomyositis symptoms. Considering the patient's concomitant troublesome cough, further investigations were conducted, including CT, PET-CT, and pathological biopsy. These assessments confirmed the diagnosis of limited-stage small cell lung cancer (T1cN3M0 IIIB). Notably, in this patient, dermatomyositis was suspected to be a paraneoplastic syndrome associated with small cell lung cancer. Standard chemotherapy and radiotherapy were employed to treat the small cell lung cancer, resulting in partial remission after two treatment cycles. As the malignancy regressed, a notable improvement in dermatomyositis symptoms was observed, subsequently leading to a gradual reduction in the prescribed hormone dosage. In conclusion, we present a comprehensive case study of dermatomyositis as a paraneoplastic syndrome throughout the treatment process. The response to tumor therapy coincided with the amelioration of dermatomyositis symptoms. Therefore, diligent malignancy screening is imperative for patients diagnosed with dermatomyositis."

+7438,skin cancer,38414514,Assessment of Different Indices as Predictors of Difficult Airway in Obese Patients.,"Introduction Difficulties with tracheal intubation contribute to the morbidity and mortality associated with anesthesia. Suggested predictors for difficult airway include, history of obstructive sleep apnea, high Mallampati score, elderly, male, short neck, and high Wilson score. However, none of these has high diagnostic accuracy particularly in obese population. Parameters used to quantify obesity such as Body Mass Index(BMI), mid arm circumference, skin fold thickness, etc. have not been used as independent predictors of difficult airway. This study has been designed to evaluate the accuracy of commonly used tools to assess difficult airway and to test other obesity markers as scale for assessing difficult airway i.e. Bag mask ventilation grade ≥3 or Cormack-Lehane Grade≥3 on Direct Laryngoscopy or number of intubation attempts ≥3. Aim To assess BMI, Mallampati grading, Neck circumference and Thyromental distance as predictors of difficult airway in obese patients and to validate neck circumference to thyromental distance ratio and skin fold thickness as a tool for assessment of difficult airway (Bag mask ventilation grade ≥3 or Cormack-Lehane Grade≥3 on Direct Laryngoscopy or number of intubation attempts ≥3.) in obese patients. Methods This prospective observational study was carried out on 51 obese patients (as per BMI) of ASA grade II, either sex, aged 23 to 57 years posted for elective surgery under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. After subjective assessment of difficult airway following data sets and variables were obtained - sex, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), Modified Mallampati class (MPG), Cormack-Lehane (CL) grade, adequacy of bag mask ventilation (BMV), number of endotracheal intubation attempts, patient's neck circumference (NC), thyromental distance (TMD), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and Skin fold thickness. The observations made during the study were statistically analyzed and correlated as predictors for difficult airway. Result Correlation of MPG to CL-grade (r-0.41, p-0.003), BMV (r-0.31, p-0.028) & No. of intubation attempts (r-0.37, p-0.007) was mild & statistically significant. Correlation of Neck Circumference with CL-grade (r-0.57, p-0.000), & No. of intubation attempts (r-0.62, p-0.000), found moderate & statistically significant, & with BMV was mild and statistically significant (r-0.48, p-0.000). Correlation of Thyromental Distance to CL-grade (r-0.65, p-0.000), BMV (r-0.70, p-0.000) & No. of intubation attempts (r-0.61, p-0.000) was moderate & statistically significant. Correlation of BMI to CL-grade (r-0.11, p-0.428), BMV (r-0.04, p-0.757) & No. of intubation attempts (r-0.16, p-0.257) was weak & not significant. Skin Fold Thickness showed no significant association with Difficult airway i.e., CL Grade (p-0.478), BMV (p-0.101), and No. of intubation attempts (p-0.143). Correlation of NC/TMD ratio with BMV (r-0.74, p-0.000), CL-grade (r-0.76, p-0.000), & No. of intubation attempts (r-0.77, p-0.000) was moderate & statistically significant. Conclusion NC, TMD and NC/TMD Ratio depicted a close association with airway difficulty in obese patients. Obesity grade is a risk factor for difficult airway but predictors of obesity including Skin Fold Thickness, individually did not show association with difficult airway (small sample size may be a limiting factor). None of the commonly performed tests alone has proven to be adequate in predicting difficult intubation in the obese population."

To elucidate the mechanism by which PIKFYVE inhibition induces cell death, autophagy-dependent melanoma cells were compared with normal foreskin fibroblasts. RNA sequence profiling suggested that PIKFYVE inhibitors upregulated an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response involving interleukin-24 (IL24; also known as MDA7) selectively in melanoma cells. Subsequent biochemical and genetic analyses confirmed these results and extended them to tumor xenografts in which tumor formation and expansion were inhibited. IL24 expression was upregulated by the DDIT3/CHOP/CEBPz transcription factor, a component of the PERK-dependent ER-stress response. Ectopic expression of IL24-induced cell death in melanoma cells, but not in foreskin fibroblasts, whereas ablation of the IL24 gene in melanoma cells prevented death. IL24 upregulation was triggered specifically by PIKFYVE inhibition. Thus, unlike thapsigargin and tunicamycin, which induce ER-stress indiscriminately, PIKFYVE inhibitors selectively terminated PIKFYVE-sensitive melanoma by inducing IL24-dependent ER-stress. Moreover, induction of cell death by a PIKFYVE inhibitor together with ectopic expression of IL24 protein was cumulative, thereby confirming the therapeutic potential of PIKFYVE inhibitors in the treatment of melanoma."

Various cells comprising of mesenchymal, immune, and cancer cells discharge exosomes. Cancer cell exosomes form the entry and reprogramming of essentials connected to a tumor environment. Melanoma-derived exosomes transport diverse proteins such as c-MET and RAB27a, which leave a melanoma mark. Increased mesenchymal epithelial transition (MET) expressions in serum exosomes have been considered an indicator of disease progression. Meanwhile, RAB27a has been identified as being involved in exosome discharge and trafficking. Decreased expressions of RAB27a in human melanoma cells have shown to diminish exosome release.We examined the effects of the downregulation and upregulation of RAB27a and c-MET in human dermal fibroblasts by utilizing the isolated exosomes of malignant melanoma cell lines. Melanoma exosomes derived from cancer cells conveyed information to healthy dermal fibroblasts and stem cells while inducing phenotypic change.

+7448,skin cancer,38411373,Emerging therapeutic strategies for metastatic uveal melanoma: Targeting driver mutations.,"Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary malignant intraocular tumor in adults. Although primary UM can be effectively controlled, a significant proportion of cases (40% or more) eventually develop distant metastases, commonly in the liver. Metastatic UM remains a lethal disease with limited treatment options. The initiation of UM is typically attributed to activating mutations in GNAQ or GNA11. The elucidation of the downstream pathways such as PKC/MAPK, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, and Hippo-YAP have provided potential therapeutic targets. Concurrent mutations in BRCA1 associated protein 1 (BAP1) or splicing factor 3b subunit 1 (SF3B1) are considered crucial for the acquisition of malignant potential. Furthermore, in preclinical studies, actionable targets associated with BAP1 loss or oncogenic mutant SF3B1 have been identified, offering promising avenues for UM treatment. This review aims to summarize the emerging targeted and epigenetic therapeutic strategies for metastatic UM carrying specific driver mutations and the potential of combining these approaches with immunotherapy, with particular focus on those in upcoming or ongoing clinical trials."

In post hoc analyses, we characterized antidrug antibody (ADA) development with avelumab monotherapy in patients with metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma (mMCC) from the JAVELIN Merkel 200 trial (first-line [1L; N = 116] and second-line or later [≥2L; N = 88] cohorts) or with advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC) from the JAVELIN Bladder 100 (1L maintenance [N = 350]) and JAVELIN Solid Tumor (≥2L [N = 249]) trials. Treatment-emergent ADAs developed in a numerically higher proportion of patients with aUC (1L maintenance, 19.1%; ≥2L, 18.1%) versus mMCC (1L, 8.2%; ≥2L, 8.9%); incidences within tumor types were similar by line of therapy. In PK analyses, numerically lower avelumab trough concentration and higher baseline clearance were observed in treatment-emergent ADA+ versus ADA- subgroups; however, differences were not clinically relevant. Numerical differences in overall survival, progression-free survival, or objective response rate by ADA status were observed; however, no clinically meaningful trends were identified. Proportions of patients with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs; any grade or grade 3/4), serious TEAEs, TEAEs leading to treatment discontinuation, or infusion-related reactions were similar, with overlapping 80% confidence intervals between ADA subgroups. Efficacy and safety observations were similar in subgroups defined by early development of ADA+ status during treatment. In conclusion, no meaningful differences in PKs, efficacy, and safety were observed between subgroups of avelumab-treated patients with different ADA status. Overall, these data suggest that ADAs are not relevant for treatment decisions with avelumab."

The aim of our study is to determine the prognostic significance of the clinical stage of parotid gland metastases and the incidence of occult cervical lymph node involvement in cSCC of the head. Our retrospective analysis includes 39 patients with cSCC parotid gland metastases, 15 of whom had concurrent cervical node involvement. In 32 patients, the lymph nodes manifested at stage N3b. A total of 26 patients were treated with parotidectomy, 9 patients received radiotherapy alone, and 4 received symptomatic therapy. The surgical treatment included either total conservative (21 cases) or superficial parotidectomy (5 cases) and neck dissection (therapeutic neck dissections in 11 cases and elective in 14 cases). In all cases, surgery was performed with sufficient tumour-free resection margins. Adjuvant radiotherapy was administered postoperatively in 16 patients. Occult metastases were present in 21% of cases after an elective neck dissection, but not in any case in the deep lobe of the parotid gland. The five-year overall survival and recurrence-free interval were 52% and 55%, respectively. Patients with the cN3b stage and G3 histological grade tend to have a worse prognosis, but not at a statistically significant level. The prognosis was not worse in patients with concurrent parotid and cervical metastases compared to those with metastases limited to the parotid gland only. The addition of adjuvant irradiation, in comparison to a single modality surgical treatment, was the only statistically significant prognostic factor that reduced the risk of death from this diagnosis ("

Material and methods A retrospective unicentric study with patients diagnosed with lower eyelid biopsy-proven BCC treated with HDR BT between January 2012 and December 2019. The prescribed dose was 36 Gy to 40 Gy in 9 to 10 fractions, twice daily, over five days. The primary endpoint was local control, and the secondary endpoints were acute and late toxicities, registered according to CTCAE v4.0. The cosmetic result was evaluated on a qualitative scale (the CAIB scale). Local control was calculated according to the Kaplan-Meier test. Two sample T-tests and a Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to determine the association between dosimetric parameters and side effects. Results Fifty-eight patients with a median age of 76 years were included. Among these patients, 55.2% received adjuvant HDR BT and 44.8% received radical HDR BT. At a median follow-up of 44 months, there were four local relapses, achieving a probability of local control at four years of 95% and 100% in the adjuvant and radical groups, respectively. Acute toxicity occurred in 76% of patients with only one grade 3 event (radiation dermatitis). Late toxicity was present in 56%. Eight patients underwent treatment for grade 3 cataracts during follow-up. Cosmetic results were excellent or very good in 93% of patients. Acute conjunctival hyperemia is strongly associated with the dose received by the ocular globe (volumes of 0.1cc, 1cc, and 2 cc) (p<0.05). Conclusion Lower eyelid BCC treatment with interstitial HDR BT is associated with excellent local control, acceptable long-term side effects, and good cosmetic results."

Herein, we describe the case of a 60-year-old female with metastasized melanoma with BRAF mutation under combination immunotherapy with ipilimumab and nivolumab, who presented with a persistent, nonproductive cough for the last two months. Her CT-scan showed de novo bronchial inflammation and wall thickening in all lung fields. Initial treatment with antimicrobial treatment and inhalation corticosteroids did not resolve her symptoms, nor the radiologic abnormalities. Additional testing with transbronchial cryobiopsy showed a histologic picture of diffuse ill-formed granulomas and the presence of moderate chronic active inflammation of the respiratory epithelium, consistent with medication-related bronchiolitis. Bronchiolitis, as present in this case, has rarely been reported as an immune-related AE. A thorough diagnostic workup is mandatory as it remains a diagnosis of exclusion. Management consists of discontinuing ICIs and administering systemic corticosteroids. The addition of immunosuppressive agents (e, infliximab, cyclophosphamide, or mycophenolate mofetil) can be considered in refractory cases. In our case, clinical and radiologic resolution was achieved after discontinuing the ICI and treatment with high-dose prednisone. This case shows that although bronchiolitis is a rare immune-related side effect of ICIs, oncologists, and pulmonologists should always be aware of this relatively easily treatable AE."

BRAF-targeted therapy is a standard of care in resected stage III-IV melanoma, while anti-programmed death-1 (PD1) immunotherapy is now a standard of care option in resected stage IIB through IV disease. With both modalities, recurrence-free survival and distant-metastasis-free survival are improved by a relative 35-50%, yet no improvement in overall survival has been demonstrated. Neoadjuvant anti-PD1 therapy improves event-free survival by approximately an absolute 23%, although improvements in overall survival have yet to be demonstrated. Understanding which patients are most likely to recur and which are most likely to benefit from treatment is now the highest priority question in the field. Biomarker analyses, such as gene expression profiling of the primary lesion and circulating DNA, are preliminarily exciting as potential biomarkers, though each has drawbacks. As in the setting of metastatic disease, markers that inform positive outcomes include interferon-γ gene expression, PD-L1, and high tumor mutational burden, while negative predictors of outcome include circulating factors such as lactate dehydrogenase, interleukin-8, and C-reactive protein. Integrating and validating these markers into clinically relevant models is thus a high priority. Melanoma therapeutics continues to advance with combination adjuvant approaches now investigating anti-PD1 with lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG3), T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT), and individualized neoantigen therapies. How this progress will be integrated into the management of a unique patient to reduce recurrence, limit toxicity, and avoid over-treatment will dominate clinical research and patient care over the next decade."
+7463,skin cancer,38409610,LAMA: Lesion-Aware Mixup Augmentation for Skin Lesion Segmentation.,"Deep learning can exceed dermatologists' diagnostic accuracy in experimental image environments. However, inaccurate segmentation of images with multiple skin lesions can be seen with current methods. Thus, information present in multiple-lesion images, available to specialists, is not retrievable by machine learning. While skin lesion images generally capture a single lesion, there may be cases in which a patient's skin variation may be identified as skin lesions, leading to multiple false positive segmentations in a single image. Conversely, image segmentation methods may find only one region and may not capture multiple lesions in an image. To remedy these problems, we propose a novel and effective data augmentation technique for skin lesion segmentation in dermoscopic images with multiple lesions. The lesion-aware mixup augmentation (LAMA) method generates a synthetic multi-lesion image by mixing two or more lesion images from the training set. We used the publicly available International Skin Imaging Collaboration (ISIC) 2017 Challenge skin lesion segmentation dataset to train the deep neural network with the proposed LAMA method. As none of the previous skin lesion datasets (including ISIC 2017) has considered multiple lesions per image, we created a new multi-lesion (MuLe) segmentation dataset utilizing publicly available ISIC 2020 skin lesion images with multiple lesions per image. MuLe was used as a test set to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Our test results show that the proposed method improved the Jaccard score 8.3% from 0.687 to 0.744 and the Dice score 5% from 0.7923 to 0.8321 over a baseline model on MuLe test images. On the single-lesion ISIC 2017 test images, LAMA improved the baseline model's segmentation performance by 0.08%, raising the Jaccard score from 0.7947 to 0.8013 and the Dice score 0.6% from 0.8714 to 0.8766. The experimental results showed that LAMA improved the segmentation accuracy on both single-lesion and multi-lesion dermoscopic images. The proposed LAMA technique warrants further study."

However, the potential role of miR-184 in skin pathology is unclear. Here, we report that miR-184 controls epidermal stem cell dynamics and that miR-184 ablation enhances skin carcinogenesis in mice. In agreement, repression of miR-184 in human squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) enhances neoplastic hallmarks of human SCC cells in vitro and tumor development in vivo. Characterization of miR-184-regulatory network, suggests that miR-184 inhibits pro-oncogenic pathways, cell proliferation, and epithelial to mesenchymal transformation. Of note, depletion of miR-184 enhances the levels of β-catenin under homeostasis and following experimental skin carcinogenesis. Finally, the repression of β-catenin by miR-184, inhibits the neoplastic phenotype of SCC cells. Taken together, miR-184 behaves as an epidermal tumor suppressor, and may provide a potentially useful target for skin SCC therapy."

Moreover, phenytoin (PHT) and cyclosporine A (CsA) were used topically as positive control treatments in wound and necrosis models, respectively. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) VEGF, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and histopathology were analysed on the wounds of rats. In the necrosis assessment, necrotic areas were determined on photography taken from the back skin of rats. Results indicated that PS topically enhanced significantly (P < 0.05) numbers of fibroblasts and endothelium while inhibiting the neutrophils and macrophages during the 14 days of wound treatment. Moreover, higher values of collagen deposition and epithelialization scores as well as wound recovery percentage (near 80%) were determined significantly (P < 0.05) in the PS group compared with the control. IHC analysis determined that FGF and VEGF cytokine factors were elevated in the wound site by topical PS. Moreover, the necrotic area was significantly (P < 0.05) improved in the PS group.

However, there has been a slow progress toward the treatment of solid tumors owing to the complex tumor microenvironment that affects the localization and killing ability of the CAR cells. Solid tumors with a strong immunosuppressive microenvironment and complex vascular system are unaffected by CAR cell infiltration and attack. To improve their efficacy toward solid tumors, CAR cells have been modified and upgraded by ""decorating"" and ""pruning"". This review focuses on the structure and function of CARs, the immune cells that can be engineered by CARs and the transformation strategies to overcome solid tumors, with a view to broadening ideas for the better application of CAR cell therapy for the treatment of solid tumors."

+7477,skin cancer,38406957,Post Renal Transplant Malignancies; A Basic Concept.,"Kidney transplantation remains the best possible solution for patients with chronic kidney disease, providing better long-term outcomes and drastically improving quality of life. However, it comes with its own set of risks. The use of immunosuppressives following renal transplants has been shown to increase the development of malignancies and infections, and the occurrence of post-transplant malignancies is now the third most common cause of death in transplant patients. This involves multiple mechanisms, including the carcinogenic tendency of some immunosuppressive drugs, along with the induction and promotion of post-transplant malignancies by certain viruses. The quantification of Cancer risk must be made an integral part of the overall management of transplant patients, and appropriate follow-up screening needs to be adopted. Kaposi's sarcoma, lymphoma, and non-melanoma skin cancers have a greater incidence. If a malignancy develops immediately after transplantation, it may have been transmitted from the donor; donor-transmitted and donor-derived tumours may be differentiated based on a two-year time limit. Immunosuppressive medications with carcinogenic tendencies, reduced immunological control of oncogenic viruses, and poor immunosurveillance remain the most important risk factors. The gravity of this situation is further exacerbated by the fact that not only is there an increased risk of developing these malignancies in the post-transplant period, but the prognosis is also worsened when compared to non-transplant patients. All transplant centers should therefore adopt a multidisciplinary approach including early detection and prompt treatment, to improve outcomes in transplanted patients."

The SCAR-Q questionnaire has been recently developed for patients with surgical, traumatic, and burn scars. Aim The study aims to describe the process of translation and linguistic validation of the scar questionnaire (SCAR-Q) for use in Polish patients undergoing scar treatment. Material and methods An official Polish translation and language validation of the SCAR-Q were done in adherence to International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) guidelines. The process consisted of four steps: two independent forward translations, a back translation, a review of the back translation, and cognitive participant interviews. Results The field-tested version of the SCAR-Q consisted of 29 items across three scales measuring appearance concerns, symptoms, and the psychosocial impact of the scar. The forward translation was done by two independent translators and revealed specific difficulties in translation to the Polish language (4/29 items). The back translation showed no significant differences compared to the original English version. Cognitive debriefing interviews involved nine Polish patients with postraumatic scars, burn scars, and scars after skin tumor resection. Participants have not reported any major difficulties in understanding the content of the questionnaire. Conclusions The ISPOR provides a straightforward and thorough guideline for the PROMs translation process. The new SCAR-Q is an accessible and efficient PROM that can be implemented in Polish patients to assess the effectiveness of scar treatment."

A total of 15,746 subjects who underwent breast ultrasound examinations were initially enrolled in the study. Further evaluation was performed on subjects with solid breast masses (≤ 5 cm) intended for surgical resection and/or biopsy. The orientation angle, defined as the acute angle between the align of the maximal longitudinal diameter of the breast mass and the surface of the breast skin, was measured. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted, and various performance measures including sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, accuracy, odds ratio, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) were calculated. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine if the orientation angle was an independent predictor of breast malignancy. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was also conducted to assess the net benefit of adopting the orientation angle for predicting breast mass malignancy. The final analysis included 83 subjects with breast cancer and 135 subjects with benign masses. The intra-group correlation coefficient for the measurement of the orientation angle of breast masses was 0.986 (P = 0.001), indicating high reproducibility. The orientation angles of malignant and benign breast masses were 36.51 ± 14.90 (range: 10.7-88.6) degrees and 15.28 ± 8.40 (range: 0.0-58.7) degrees, respectively, and there was a significant difference between them (P < 0.001). The cutoff value for the orientation angle was determined to be 22.9°. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, accuracy, odds ratio, and AUC for the prediction of breast malignancy using the orientation angle were 88.0%, 87.4%, 81.1%, 92.2%, 87.6%, 50.67%, and 0.925%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that the orientation angle (> 22.9°), not circumscribed margin, and calcifications of the breast mass were independent factors predicting breast malignancy. The net benefit of adopting the orientation angle for predicting breast malignancy was 0.303. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that quantifying the orientation angle of breast masses is useful in predicting breast malignancy, as it demonstrates high sensitivity, specificity, AUC, and standardized net benefit. It optimizes the utility of the not parallel orientation in assessing breast mass malignancy."

These pathways are regulated by zinc finger proteins. Trivalent inorganic arsenic (iAs) displaces zinc from zinc finger proteins disrupting functions of important cellular proteins. The effect of chronic environmental iAs exposure (100 nM) on UPS has not been studied. We tested the hypothesis that environmental iAs exposure suppresses UPS, activating autophagy as a compensatory mechanism. We exposed skin (HaCaT and Ker-CT; independent quadruplicates) and lung (BEAS-2B; independent triplicates) cell cultures to 0 or 100 nM iAs for 7 or 8 weeks. We quantified ER stress (XBP1 splicing employing Reverse Transcriptase -Polymerase Chain Reaction), proteasomal degradation (immunoblots), and initiation and completion of autophagy (immunoblots). We demonstrate that chronic iAs exposure suppresses UPS, initiates autophagy, but suppresses autophagic protein degradation in skin and lung cell lines. Our data suggest that chronic iAs exposure inhibits autophagy which subsequently suppresses UPS."

In this study, our objective was to explore the potential utility of the Sprouty-related EVH1 domain-containing protein 3 (SPRED3) as a biomarker for early diagnosis and prognosis in THCA patients. The differentially expressed prognostic-related genes associated with THCA were identified by querying The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The difference in the expression of the SPRED3 gene between thyroid carcinoma (THCA) tissues and normal tissues was analyzed using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and further validated through immunohistochemistry. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were used, along with clinical information from THCA patients, to analyze the prognostic value of the SPRED3 gene in THCA patients. Functional enrichment analysis was subsequently performed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulatory effects of the SPRED3 gene on thyroid carcinoma. Additionally, we calculated the percentage of infiltrating immune cells in THCA patients and evaluated their correlation with SPRED3 gene expression. Compared with those in noncancerous thyroid tissue, the gene and protein expression levels of SPRED3 were found to be elevated in thyroid carcinoma tissues. Furthermore, the expression of SPRED3 in thyroid carcinoma exhibited significant correlations with tumor location, histological grade, pathological stage, and tumor node metastasis classification (TNM) stage. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards (Cox) regression analyses demonstrated that SPRED3 could serve as an independent prognostic factor for predicting the overall survival of THCA patients. The results of functional enrichment analysis suggested the potential involvement of SPRED3 in the regulation of extracellular matrix organization, epidermal development, signaling receptor activator activity, skin development, receptor ligand activity, glycosaminoglycan binding, neuroactive ligand‒receptor interaction, the IL-17 signaling pathway, and the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Additionally, there were significant correlations between the expression level of the SPRED3 gene and the infiltration of various immune cells (eosinophils, central memory T cells, neutrophils, macrophages, and NK cells) within the thyroid tumor microenvironment. SPRED3 can be used as a prognostic biomarker in patients with THCA could potentially be therapeutic target for THCA."
+7499,skin cancer,38402225,DNA damage signalling histone H2AX is required for tumour growth.,"Cancer most frequently develops in self-renewal tissues that are the target of genetic alterations due to mutagens or intrinsic DNA replication errors. Histone γH2AX has a critical role in the cellular DNA repair pathway cascade and contributes to genomic stability. However, the role of γH2AX in the ontology of cancer is unclear. We have investigated this issue in the epidermis, a self-renewal epithelium continuously exposed to genetic hazard and replication stress. Silencing H2AX caused cell cycle hyperactivation, impaired DNA repair and epidermal hyperplasia in the skin. However, mutagen-induced carcinogenesis was strikingly reduced in the absence of H2AX. KO tumours appeared significantly later than controls and were fewer, smaller and more benign. The stem cell marker Δp63 drastically diminished in the KO epidermis. We conclude that H2AX is required for tissue-making during both homoeostasis and tumourigenesis, possibly by contributing to the control and repair of stem cells. Therefore, although H2AX is thought to act as a tumour suppressor and our results show that it contributes to homeostasis, they also indicate that it is required for the development of cancer."

However, no standardized or quantified diagnostic criteria currently define the sign of Leser-Trélat. The sign of Leser-Trélat is frequently found in connection with colon, breast, or stomach adenocarcinomas but has also been associated with renal, hepatic, and pancreatic malignancies. The exact pathophysiology underlying the sign of Leser-Trélat remains elusive, but some experts strongly suspect that the release of cytokines and growth factors from the neoplasm stimulates the eruptive growth of the seborrheic keratoses. However, this sign has been met with a significant amount of skepticism by many, considering the commonality of both seborrheic keratoses and malignancy in elderly patients. Seborrheic keratoses are nearly ubiquitous benign skin lesions in patients greater than 40 years of age, typically appearing as brown, waxy lesions of varying shapes and sizes on examination. Seborrheic keratoses described in the Leser-Trélat sign are commonly homogenous, well-circumscribed pigmented macules, papules, and plaques with pigmentation ranging from light tones to dark brown or black. The lesions are generally described as having a waxy or velvety texture with a stuck-on appearance but often are in a Christmas tree pattern on the chest, abdomen, or back with or without pruritus. Although these lesions are typically relatively easy to distinguish from other melanocytic neoplasms, a histopathological examination may be required. Clinicians suspecting the Leser-Trélat sign on examination should evaluate the patient for an underlying neoplasm. The primary treatment for Leser-Trélat lesions involves the management of the underlying malignancy, which resolves approximately 50% of associated seborrheic keratoses. In addition, symptomatic lesions may be managed with antipruritic topical creams or more aggressively destroyed with various modalities, including cryotherapy, curettage, shave removal, and electrodesiccation.  The Leser-Trélat sign was first described separately in the 1800s by Edmund Leser and Ulysse Trélat during their study of cherry angiomas in oncology patients. In 1900, Hollander was the first to describe seborrheic keratoses associated with malignancy, but the names Leser and Trélat remained affixed to the condition. By 1988, 60 documented case presentations of the sign were noted. "

Metastatic melanoma is known for its diverse clinical manifestations, and can present with atypical features prior to diagnosis of the primary lesion, which can pose a diagnostic challenge. We report a rare case of metastatic melanoma in a 67 year-old male who presented with a painless, enlarging mass in the right axilla over a 4 week period. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans revealed a well-defined solitary, cystic appearing lesion in the right axilla with a distinct fluid-fluid level. An ultrasound guided biopsy of the lesion diagnosed a metastatic melanoma. While haemorrhagic distant metastases are a well-recognised complication of malignant melanoma, particularly in the brain and lung, soft tissue metastases presenting with fluid-fluid levels is not well described in the literature. The case highlights the importance of considering the differential of melanoma metastasis when encountered with such a lesion and importance of ultrasound guided biopsy for histopathological confirmation, as the imaging features can mimic that of a haemorrhagic soft tissue sarcoma, the management of which differs substantially from that of melanoma."

+7518,skin cancer,38400732,GPNMB Modulates Autophagy to Enhance Functional Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury in Rats.,"Spinal cord injury (SCI) severely affects the quality of life and autonomy of patients, and effective treatments are currently lacking. Autophagy, an essential cellular metabolic process, plays a crucial role in neuroprotection and repair after SCI. Glycoprotein non-metastatic melanoma protein B (GPNMB) has been shown to promote neural regeneration and synapse reconstruction, potentially through the facilitation of autophagy. However, the specific role of GPNMB in autophagy after SCI is still unclear. In this study, we utilized the spinal cord transection method to establish SCI rats model and overexpressed GPNMB using adenoviral vectors. We assessed tissue damage using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Nissl staining, and observed cell apoptosis using TUNEL staining. We evaluated the inflammatory response by measuring inflammatory factors using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In addition, we measured reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels using 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA), and assessed oxidative stress levels by measuring malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) using ELISA. To evaluate autophagy levels, we performed immunofluorescence staining for the autophagy marker Beclin-1 and conducted Western blot analysis for autophagy-related proteins. We also assessed limb recovery through functional evaluation. Meanwhile, we induced cell injury using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and added an autophagy inhibitor to verify the impact of GPNMB on SCI through autophagy modulation. The results demonstrated that GPNMB alleviated the inflammatory response, reduced oxidative stress levels, inhibited cell apoptosis, and promoted autophagy following SCI. Inhibiting autophagy reversed the effects of GPNMB. These findings suggest that GPNMB promotes neural injury repair after SCI, potentially through attenuating the inflammatory response, reducing oxidative stress, and inhibiting cell apoptosis."

By using the RET model of spontaneous melanoma and adoptive transfer of B16 melanoma cells, we show that immature and follicular B2 (B2-FO) cells exert a protective effect on melanoma progression by promoting the generation of effector memory T cells and limiting the recruitment of polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells. Unfortunately, this beneficial effect progressively wanes as a consequence of enhanced expression of the IL4-induced gene 1 (IL4I1) enzyme by immature B cells and B2-FO cells. Endogenous IL4I1 selectively decreases CXCR5 expression in splenic immature B cells, subverting their trafficking to primary tumors and enhancing the production of IL-10 by B2 cells, thereby promoting an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Accordingly, B2 cells from RET IL4I1"

Our study aimed to establish engineered M13 bacteriophages expressing MAGE-A1 tumor peptides as a vaccine for melanoma treatment. Through in vivo experiments, we sought to assess their ability to induce robust immune responses. Using phage display technology, we engineered two M13 bacteriophages expressing MAGE-A1 peptides as fusion proteins with either pVIII or pIIII coat proteins. Mice were intraperitoneally vaccinated three times, two weeks apart, using two different engineered bacteriophages; control groups received a wild-type bacteriophage. Serum samples taken seven days after each vaccination were analyzed by ELISA assay, while splenocytes harvested seven days following the second boost were evaluated by ex vivo cytotoxicity assay. Fusion proteins were confirmed by Western blot and nano-LC-MS/MS. The application of bacteriophages was safe, with no adverse effects on mice. Engineered bacteriophages effectively triggered immune responses, leading to increased levels of anti-MAGE-A1 antibodies in proportion to the administered bacteriophage dosage. Anti-MAGE-A1 antibodies also exhibited a binding capability to B16F10 tumor cells in vitro, as opposed to control samples. Splenocytes demonstrated enhanced CTL cytotoxicity against B16F10 cells. We have demonstrated the immunogenic capabilities of engineered M13 bacteriophages, emphasizing their potential for melanoma immunotherapy."

While the pharmaceutical industry raced to develop vaccines, the emergence of mutant severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) strains continues to pose a significant threat. Beyond the immediate concerns, the long-term health repercussions of COVID-19 survivors are garnering attention, particularly due to documented cases of cardiovascular issues, liver dysfunction, pulmonary complications, kidney impairments, and notable neurocognitive deficits. Recent studies have delved into the pathophysiological changes in various organs following post-acute infection with murine hepatitis virus-1 (MHV-1), a coronavirus, in mice. One aspect that stands out is the impact on the skin, a previously underexplored facet of long-term COVID-19 effects. The research reveals significant cutaneous findings during both the acute and long-term phases post-MHV-1 infection, mirroring certain alterations observed in humans post-SARS-CoV-2 infection. In the acute stages, mice exhibited destruction of the epidermal layer, increased hair follicles, extensive collagen deposition in the dermal layer, and hyperplasticity of sebaceous glands. Moreover, the thinning of the panniculus carnosus and adventitial layer was noted, consistent with human studies. A long-term investigation revealed the absence of hair follicles, destruction of adipose tissues, and further damage to the epidermal layer. Remarkably, treatment with a synthetic peptide, SPIKENET (SPK), designed to prevent Spike glycoprotein-1 binding with host receptors and elicit a potent anti-inflammatory response, showed protection against MHV-1 infection. Precisely, SPK treatment restored hair follicle loss in MHV-1 infection, re-architected the epidermal and dermal layers, and successfully overhauled fatty tissue destruction. These promising findings underscore the potential of SPK as a therapeutic intervention to prevent long-term skin alterations initiated by SARS-CoV-2, providing a glimmer of hope in the battle against the lingering effects of the pandemic."

Obesity is an ""epidemic"" chronic disorder, which is defined by the WHO as normal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health. It is also defined for adults as a BMI that is greater than or equal to 30. The most common obesity-related diseases are type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney disease, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and certain types of cancer. It has been also proven that obesity can have a negative effect on hair. It can lead to hair thinning. Patients with obesity can undergo bariatric surgery if they meet the inclusion criteria. The four common types of weight loss surgery include a duodenal switch with biliopancreatic diversion, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and sleeve gastrectomy. Bariatric surgery can affect skin and hair and is associated with telogen effluvium due to weight loss, microelement deficiency, anesthesia, low calorie intake, and low protein intake. Patients who undergo bariatric surgery can experience post-bariatric surgery depression. Hair loss can have a major impact on self-esteem, negatively affecting one's self-image. The purpose of this narrative review is to critically review how obesity, obesity-related diseases, and bariatric surgery affect hair health in general and the hair development cycle, and how they influence hair loss."
+7528,skin cancer,38399442,Hedgehog Pathway Inhibition by Novel Small Molecules Impairs Melanoma Cell Migration and Invasion under Hypoxia.,"Melanoma is the principal cause of death in skin cancer due to its ability to invade and cause metastasis. Hypoxia, which characterises the tumour microenvironment (TME), plays an important role in melanoma development, as cancer cells can adapt and acquire a more aggressive phenotype. Carbonic anhydrases (CA) activity, involved in pH regulation, is related to melanoma cell migration and invasion. Furthermore, the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway, already known for its role in physiological processes, is a pivotal character in cancer cell growth and can represent a promising pharmacological target. In this study, we targeted Hh pathway components with cyclopamine, glabrescione B and C22 in order to observe their effect on carbonic anhydrase XII (CAXII) expression especially under hypoxia. We then performed a migration and invasion assay on two melanoma cell lines (SK-MEL-28 and A375) where Smoothened, the upstream protein involved in Hh regulation, and GLI1, the main transcription factor that determines Hh pathway activation, were chemically inhibited. Data suggest the existence of a relationship between CAXII, hypoxia and the Hedgehog pathway demonstrating that the chemical inhibition of the Hh pathway and CAXII reduction resulted in melanoma migration and invasion impairment especially under hypoxia. As in recent years drug resistance to small molecules has arisen, the development of new chemical compounds is crucial. The multitarget Hh inhibitor C22 proved to be effective without signs of cytotoxicity and, for this reason, it can represent a promising compound for future studies, with the aim to reach a better melanoma disease management."
+7529,skin cancer,38399429,A Review of Current and Pipeline Drugs for Treatment of Melanoma.,"Malignant melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer. Standard treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, systemic chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Combining these modalities often yields better responses. Surgery is suitable for localized cases, sometimes involving lymph node dissection and biopsy, to assess the spread of the disease. Radiation therapy may be sometimes used as a standalone treatment or following surgical excision. Systemic chemotherapy, while having low response rates, is utilized as part of combination treatments or when other methods fail. The development of resistance to systemic chemotherapies and associated side effects have prompted further research and clinical trials for novel approaches. In the case of advanced-stage melanoma, a comprehensive approach may be necessary, incorporating targeted therapies and immunotherapies that demonstrate significant antitumor activity. Targeted therapies, including inhibitors targeting BRAF, MEK, c-KIT, and NRAS, are designed to block the specific molecules responsible for tumor growth. These therapies show promise, particularly in patients with corresponding mutations. Combination therapy, including BRAF and MEK inhibitors, has been evidenced to improve progression-free survival; however, concerns about resistance and cutaneous toxicities highlight the need for close monitoring. Immunotherapies, leveraging tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and CAR T cells, enhance immune responses. Lifileucel, an FDA-approved tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy, has demonstrated improved response rates in advanced-stage melanoma. Ongoing trials continue to explore the efficacy of CAR T-cell therapy for advanced melanoma. Checkpoint inhibitors targeting CTLA-4 and PD-1 have enhanced outcomes. Emerging IL-2 therapies boost dendritic cells, enhancing anticancer immunity. Oncolytic virus therapy, approved for advanced melanoma, augments treatment efficacy in combination approaches. While immunotherapy has significantly advanced melanoma treatment, its success varies, prompting research into new drugs and factors influencing outcomes. This review provides insights into current melanoma treatments and recent therapeutic advances."

Infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction confirmed the encapsulation of the drug. Transmission electron microscopy revealed the spherical shape of the nanogel particles. The drug-loaded nanogel was characterized with a small diameter of 29 nm, narrow polydispersity (0.223) and positive zeta potential (+34 mV). The exposure of encapsulated doxorubicin to light (including UV irradiation and daylight) did not provoke any degradation, whereas the nonencapsulated drug was significantly degraded. In vitro studies on keratinocytes (HaCaT) and epidermoid squamous skin carcinoma cells (A-431) disclosed that the encapsulated doxorubicin was more cytotoxic on both cell lines than the pure drug was. More importantly, the cytotoxic concentration of encapsulated doxorubicin in carcinoma cells was approximately two times lower than that in keratinocytes, indicating that it would not affect them. Thus, the loading of doxorubicin into the developed chitosan-albumin nanogel definitely stabilized the drug against photodegradation and increased its antineoplastic effect on the skin cancer cell line."

Nutritional intervention has emerged as a practical approach for preventing and addressing the effect of skin photoaging. The primary aromatic compound isolated from clove oil, isoeugenol (IE), has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant qualities that work to effectively restrict skin cancer cell proliferation. This investigation delved into the advantages of IE in alleviating skin photoaging using UVB-irradiated skin fibroblasts and female SKH-1 hairless mouse models. IE alleviated UVB-induced photodamage in Hs68 dermal fibroblasts by inhibiting matrix metalloproteinase secretion and promoting extracellular matrix synthesis. In photoaged mice, dietary IE reduced wrinkles, relieved skin dryness, inhibited epidermal thickening, and prevented collagen loss. Additionally, the intestinal dysbiosis caused by prolonged UVB exposure was reduced with an IE intervention. The results of Spearman's analysis showed a strong correlation between skin photoaging and gut microbiota. Given the almost unavoidable UVB exposure in contemporary living, this research demonstrated the efficacy of dietary IE in reversing skin photoaging, presenting a promising approach to tackle concerns related to extrinsic skin aging."

Fiber (or fiber-coupled) lasers are of great interest because they can easily be combined with a handheld, scanning nonlinear microscope. This latter feature greatly increases the utility of NM for pre-clinical applications and in vivo tissue imaging. Here, we present a fiber-coupled, sub-ps Ti-sapphire laser system being optimized for in vivo, stain-free, 3D imaging of skin alterations with a low thermal load of the skin. The laser is pumped by a low-cost, 2.1 W, 532 nm pump laser and delivers 0.5-1 ps, high-peak-power pulses at a ~20 MHz repetition rate. The spectral bandwidth of the laser is below 2 nm, which results in a low sensitivity for dispersion during fiber delivery. The reduction in the peak intensity due to the increased pulse duration is compensated by the lower repetition rate of our laser. In our proof-of-concept imaging experiments, a ~1.8 m long, commercial hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber was used for fiber delivery. Fresh and frozen skin biopsies of different skin alterations (e.g., adult hemangioma, basal cell cancer) and an unaffected control were used for high-quality, two-photon excitation fluorescence microscopy (2PEF) and second-harmonic generation (SHG) z-stack (3D) imaging."

The unique anatomy of the scrotum, vital for thermoregulation and spermatogenic function, necessitates reconstruction with thin and pliable tissue. When the scrotal defect area is less than half the scrotal surface area, scrotal advancement flap can be performed. However, for larger defects, some type of transplantation surgery is required. Various options are explored, including testicular transposition, tissue expanders, split-thickness skin grafts, local flaps, and free flaps, each with merits and demerits based on factors like tissue availability, defect size, and patient specifics. Also, physicians should consider how testicular transposition, despite its simplicity, often yields unsatisfactory outcomes and impairs spermatogenesis. This review underscores the individuality of aesthetic standards for scrotal reconstruction, urging surgeons to tailor techniques to patient needs, health, and defect size. Detailed preoperative counseling is crucial to inform patients about outcomes and limitations.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for cytokeratin 20 (CK20) and thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1) are commonly used to differentiate MCC from SCLC; however, these markers have limited sensitivity and specificity. To identify new diagnostic markers, we performed differential gene expression analysis on transcriptome data from MCC and SCLC tumors. Candidate markers included atonal BHLH transcription factor 1 (ATOH1) and transcription factor AP-2β (TFAP2B) for MCC, as well as carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule 6 (CEACAM6) for SCLC. Immunostaining for CK20, TTF-1, and new candidate markers was performed on 43 MCC and 59 SCLC samples. All three MCC markers were sensitive and specific, with CK20 and ATOH1 staining 43/43 (100%) MCC and 0/59 (0%) SCLC cases and TFAP2B staining 40/43 (93%) MCC and 0/59 (0%) SCLC cases.

To decipher whether cell stiffness modulation could increase melanoma cells' invasive capacity, we performed both in vitro and in vivo experiments exploring cell stiffness by atomic force microscopy (AFM). We correlated stiffness properties with cell morphology adaptation and the molecular mechanisms underlying epithelial-to-mesenchymal (EMT)-like phenotype switching. We found that melanoma cell stiffness reduction was systematically associated with the acquisition of invasive properties in cutaneous melanoma cell lines, human skin reconstructs, and Medaka fish developing spontaneous MAP-kinase-induced melanomas. We observed a systematic correlation of stiffness modulation with cell morphological changes towards mesenchymal characteristic gains. We accordingly found that inducing melanoma EMT switching by overexpressing the ZEB1 transcription factor, a major regulator of melanoma cell plasticity, was sufficient to decrease cell stiffness and transcriptionally induce tetraspanin-8-mediated dermal invasion. Moreover, ZEB1 expression correlated with Tspan8 expression in patient melanoma lesions.

In glioblastoma (GB), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) seem to be recruited to the tumor site, where they differentiate into glioblastoma-associated mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (GA-MSCs) under the influence of tumor cells and the TME. GA-MSCs are reported to exert important protumoral functions, such as promoting tumor growth and invasion, increasing angiogenesis, stimulating glioblastoma stem cell (GSC) proliferation and stemness, mediating resistance to therapy and contributing to an immunosuppressive TME. Moreover, they could act as precursor cells for cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which have recently been identified in GB. In this review, we provide an overview of the different functions exerted by GA-MSCs and CAFs and the current knowledge on the relationship between these cell types.

Its safety profile is generally manageable, with adverse events (AEs) primarily related to the skin, infusion-related reactions, drug eruptions, autoimmune diseases, and skin disorders. The latter seem to appear as CCR4 can promote the skin-specific homing of lymphocytes, and MOG is directed against this receptor. While combination with immunostimulatory agents like interferon alpha and interleukin 12 has shown promising results, caution is urged when combining with PD1 inhibitors due to the heightened risk of immune-mediated AEs. The introduction of MOG as a systemic treatment implies a significant advancement in managing these diseases, supported by its favorable safety profile and complementary mechanisms."
+7553,skin cancer,38396841,Nanotechnology as a Promising Method in the Treatment of Skin Cancer.,"The incidence of skin cancer continues to grow. There are an estimated 1.5 million new cases each year, of which nearly 350,000 are melanoma, which is often fatal. Treatment is challenging and often ineffective, with conventional chemotherapy playing a limited role in this context. These disadvantages can be overcome by the use of nanoparticles and may allow for the early detection and monitoring of neoplastic changes and determining the effectiveness of treatment. This article briefly reviews the present understanding of the characteristics of skin cancers, their epidemiology, and risk factors. It also outlines the possibilities of using nanotechnology, especially nanoparticles, for the transport of medicinal substances. Research over the previous decade on carriers of active substances indicates that drugs can be delivered more accurately to the tumor site, resulting in higher therapeutic efficacy. The article describes the application of liposomes, carbon nanotubes, metal nanoparticles, and polymer nanoparticles in existing therapies. It discusses the challenges encountered in nanoparticle therapy and the possibilities of improving their performance. Undoubtedly, the use of nanoparticles is a promising method that can help in the fight against skin cancer."

+7555,skin cancer,38396804,The Potential Use of Vitamin D3 and Phytochemicals for Their Anti-Ageing Effects.,"Unlike other vitamins, vitamin D3 is synthesised in skin cells in the body. Vitamin D3 has been known as a bone-related hormone. Recently, however, it has been considered as an immune vitamin. Vitamin D3 deficiency influences the onset of a variety of diseases. Vitamin D3 regulates the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) through binding to vitamin D receptors (VDRs) in immune cells. Since blood levels of vitamin D3 (25-OH-D3) were low in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, there has been growing interest in the importance of vitamin D3 to maintaining a healthy condition. On the other hand, phytochemicals are compounds derived from plants with over 7000 varieties and have various biological activities. They mainly have health-promoting effects and are classified as terpenoids, carotenoids, flavonoids, etc. Flavonoids are known as the anti-inflammatory compounds that control TNF-α production. Chronic inflammation is induced by the continuous production of TNF-α and is the fundamental cause of diseases like obesity, dyslipidaemia, diabetes, heart and brain diseases, autoimmune diseases, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer. In addition, the ageing process is induced by chronic inflammation. This review explains the cooperative effects of vitamin D3 and phytochemicals in the suppression of inflammatory responses, how it balances the natural immune response, and its link to anti-ageing effects. In addition, vitamin D3 and phytochemicals synergistically contribute to anti-ageing by working with ageing-related genes. Furthermore, prevention of ageing processes induced by the chronic inflammation requires the maintenance of healthy gut microbiota, which is related to daily dietary habits. In this regard, supplementation of vitamin D3 and phytochemicals plays an important role. Recently, the association of the prevention of the non-disease condition called ""ME-BYO"" with the maintenance of a healthy condition has been an attractive regimen, and the anti-ageing effect discussed here is important for a healthy and long life."
+7556,skin cancer,38396787,FEN1 Inhibition as a Potential Novel Targeted Therapy against Breast Cancer and the Prognostic Relevance of FEN1.,"To improve breast cancer treatment and to enable new strategies for therapeutic resistance, therapeutic targets are constantly being studied. Potential targets are proteins of DNA repair and replication and genomic integrity, such as Flap Endonuclease 1 (FEN1). This study investigated the effects of FEN1 inhibitor FEN1-IN-4 in combination with ionizing radiation on cell death, clonogenic survival, the cell cycle, senescence, doubling time, DNA double-strand breaks and micronuclei in breast cancer cells, breast cells and healthy skin fibroblasts. Furthermore, the variation in the baseline FEN1 level and its influence on treatment prognosis was investigated. The cell lines show specific response patterns in the aspects studied and have heterogeneous baseline FEN1 levels. FEN1-IN-4 has cytotoxic, cytostatic and radiosensitizing effects, expressed through increasing cell death by apoptosis and necrosis, G2M share, senescence, double-strand breaks and a reduced survival fraction. Nevertheless, some cells are less affected by the cytotoxicity and fibroblasts show a rather limited response. In vivo, high FEN1 mRNA expression worsens the prognosis of breast cancer patients. Due to the increased expression in breast cancer tissue, FEN1 could represent a new tumor and prognosis marker and FEN1-IN-4 may serve as a new potent agent in personalized medicine and targeted breast cancer therapy."

However, the accuracy illustrated behind the state-of-the-art approaches depends on several factors, such as the quality of the images and the interpretation of the results by medical experts. This systematic review aims to critically assess the efficacy and challenges of this research field in order to explain the usability and limitations and highlight potential future lines of work for the scientific and clinical community. In this study, the analysis was carried out over 45 contemporary studies extracted from databases such as Web of Science and Scopus. Several computer vision techniques related to image and video processing for early skin cancer diagnosis were identified. In this context, the focus behind the process included the algorithms employed, result accuracy, and validation metrics. Thus, the results yielded significant advancements in cancer detection using deep learning and machine learning algorithms. Lastly, this review establishes a foundation for future research, highlighting potential contributions and opportunities to improve the effectiveness of skin cancer detection through machine learning."

In this phase III clinical trial (NCT02993315), 148 patients with resected stage IIIB/C melanoma were randomized to adjuvant treatment with nDCs (n = 99) or placebo (n = 49). Active treatment consisted of intranodally injected autologous CD1c+ conventional and plasmacytoid DCs loaded with tumor antigens. The primary endpoint was the 2-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate, whereas the secondary endpoints included median RFS, 2-year and median overall survival, adverse event profile, and immunological response The 2-year RFS rate was 36.8% in the nDC treatment group and 46.9% in the control group (p = 0.31). Median RFS was 12.7 months vs 19.9 months, respectively (hazard ratio 1.25; 90% CI: 0.88-1.79; p = 0.29). Median overall survival was not reached in both treatment groups (hazard ratio 1.32; 90% CI: 0.73-2.38; p = 0.44). Grade 3-4 study-related adverse events occurred in 5% and 6% of patients. Functional antigen-specific T cell responses could be detected in 67.1% of patients tested in the nDC treatment group vs 3.8% of patients tested in the control group (p < 0.001). In conclusion, while adjuvant nDC treatment in stage IIIB/C melanoma patients generated specific immune responses and was well tolerated, no benefit in RFS was observed."
+7562,skin cancer,38395948,Influence of microbiota-associated metabolic reprogramming on clinical outcome in patients with melanoma from the randomized adjuvant dendritic cell-based MIND-DC trial.,"Tumor immunosurveillance plays a major role in melanoma, prompting the development of immunotherapy strategies. The gut microbiota composition, influencing peripheral and tumoral immune tonus, earned its credentials among predictors of survival in melanoma. The MIND-DC phase III trial (NCT02993315) randomized (2:1 ratio) 148 patients with stage IIIB/C melanoma to adjuvant treatment with autologous natural dendritic cell (nDC) or placebo (PL). Overall, 144 patients collected serum and stool samples before and after 2 bimonthly injections to perform metabolomics (MB) and metagenomics (MG) as prespecified exploratory analysis. Clinical outcomes are reported separately. Here we show that different microbes were associated with prognosis, with the health-related Faecalibacterium prausnitzii standing out as the main beneficial taxon for no recurrence at 2 years (p = 0.008 at baseline, nDC arm). Therapy coincided with major MB perturbations (acylcarnitines, carboxylic and fatty acids). Despite randomization, nDC arm exhibited MG and MB bias at baseline: relative under-representation of F. prausnitzii, and perturbations of primary biliary acids (BA). F. prausnitzii anticorrelated with BA, medium- and long-chain acylcarnitines. Combined, these MG and MB biomarkers markedly determined prognosis. Altogether, the host-microbial interaction may play a role in localized melanoma. We value systematic MG and MB profiling in randomized trials to avoid baseline differences attributed to host-microbe interactions."

+7568,skin cancer,38395222,Review on the Role of Paraffin-embedded Margin-controlled Mohs Micrographic Surgery to Treat Skin Tumors.,"Paraffin-embedded margin-controlled Mohs micrographic surgery (PMMS) includes various procedures such as slow Mohs or deferred Mohs technique, the Muffin and Tübingen techniques, and staged margin excision, or the spaghetti technique. PMMS is a variation of conventional Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) that allows histopathological examination with delayed margin control. PMMS requires minimum training and may be adopted by any hospital. The setback is that PMMS can require procedures across multiple days. PMMS lowers the rate of recurrence of basal cell carcinoma vs wide local excision in high-risk basal cell carcinoma, and improves the rates of recurrence and survival in lentigo maligna. PMMS can be very useful in high-risk squamous cell carcinoma treatment. Finally, it is a promising technique to treat infrequent skin neoplasms, such as dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, or extramammary Paget's disease, among others. In this article, we present a literature narrative review on PMMS, describing techniques and indications, and highlighting long-term outcomes."

In this study, we propose a natural IgM-hitchhiking delivery strategy to co-deliver tumor antigens and adjuvants to splenic marginal zone B (MZB) cells. We constructed nanovaccines (FA-sLip/OVA/MPLA) consisting of classical folic acid (FA)-conjugated liposomes co-loaded with ovalbumin (OVA) and toll-like receptor 4 agonists, MPLA. We found that natural IgM absorption could be manipulated at the bio-nano interface on FA-sLip/OVA/MPLA, enabling targeted delivery to splenic MZB cells. Systemic administration of FA-sLip/OVA/MPLA effectively activated splenic MZB cells via IgM-mediated multiplex pathways, eliciting antigen-specific humoral and cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses, and ultimately retarding E.G7-OVA tumor growth. In addition, combining FA-sLip/OVA/MPLA immunization with anti-PD-1 treatments showed improved antitumor efficiency. Overall, this natural IgM-hitchhiking delivery strategy holds great promise for efficient, splenic MZB cell-targeted delivery of cancer vaccines in future applications."

+7571,skin cancer,38395106,Ex Vivo Patient-Derived Explant Model for Neurofibromatosis Type 1-Related Cutaneous Neurofibromas.,"Cutaneous neurofibromas (CNFs) are benign tumors that occur in the dermis of individuals with the inherited tumor predisposition disorder, neurofibromatosis type 1. CNFs cause disfigurement, pain, burning, and itching, resulting in substantially reduced QOL in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1. CNFs are benign tumors that exhibit cellular and molecular heterogeneity, making it difficult to develop tractable in vitro or in vivo models. As a result, CNF research and drug discovery efforts have been limited. To address this need, we developed a reproducible patient-derived explant (PDE) ex vivo culture model using CNF tumors from patients with neurofibromatosis type 1. CNF PDEs remain viable in culture for over 9 days and recapitulate the cellular composition and molecular signaling of CNFs. Using CNF PDEs as a model system, we found that proliferation was associated with increased T-cell infiltration. Furthermore, we identified a pattern of reciprocal inflammatory signaling in CNF PDEs in which tumors rely on prostaglandin or leukotriene-mediated signaling pathways. As proof of principle, we show that ex vivo glucocorticoid treatment reduced the expression of proinflammatory genes, confirming that CNF PDEs are a useful model for both mechanistic studies and preclinical drug testing."

+7574,skin cancer,38394799,GrMoNAS: A granularity-based multi-objective NAS framework for efficient medical diagnosis.,"Neural Architecture Search (NAS) has been widely applied to automate medical image diagnostics. However, traditional NAS methods require significant computational resources and time for performance evaluation. To address this, we introduce the GrMoNAS framework, designed to balance diagnostic accuracy and efficiency using proxy datasets for granularity transformation and multi-objective optimization algorithms. The approach initiates with a coarse granularity phase, wherein diverse candidate neural architectures undergo evaluation utilizing a reduced proxy dataset. This initial phase facilitates the swift and effective identification of architectures exhibiting promise. Subsequently, in the fine granularity phase, a comprehensive validation and optimization process is undertaken for these identified architectures. Concurrently, employing multi-objective optimization and Pareto frontier sorting aims to enhance both accuracy and computational efficiency simultaneously. Importantly, the GrMoNAS framework is particularly suitable for hospitals with limited computational resources. We evaluated GrMoNAS in a range of medical scenarios, such as COVID-19, Skin cancer, Lung, Colon, and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia diseases, comparing it against traditional models like VGG16, VGG19, and recent NAS approaches including GA-CNN, EBNAS, NEXception, and CovNAS. The results show that GrMoNAS achieves comparable or superior diagnostic precision, significantly enhancing diagnostic efficiency. Moreover, GrMoNAS effectively avoids local optima, indicating its significant potential for precision medical diagnosis."

Previous studies of our group have reported that LGI3 is expressed in adipose tissue, skin and brain, and serves as a multifunctional cytokine. LGI3 may also be involved in cytokine networks in various cancers. This study aimed to analyze differentially expressed genes in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC) tissues and PAC cohort data in order to evaluate the prognostic role of LGI3. The expression microarray and the PAC cohort data were analyzed by bioinformatic methods for differential expression, protein-protein interactions, functional enrichment and pathway analyses, gene co-expression network analysis, and prognostic association analysis. Results showed that LGI3 expression was significantly reduced in PAC tissues. Nineteen upregulated genes and 31 downregulated genes in PAC tissues were identified as LGI3-regulated genes. Protein-protein interaction network analysis demonstrated that 92% (46/50) of the LGI3-regulated genes that were altered in PACs belonged to a protein-protein interaction network cluster. Functional enrichment and gene co-expression network analyses demonstrated that these genes in the network cluster were associated with various processes including inflammatory and immune responses, metabolic processes, cell differentiation, and angiogenesis. PAC cohort analyses revealed that low expression levels of LGI3 were significantly associated with poor PAC prognosis. Analysis of favorable or unfavorable prognostic gene products in PAC showed that 93 LGI3-regulated genes were differentially associated with PAC prognosis. LGI3 expression was correlated with the tumor-infiltration levels of various immune cells. Taken together, these results suggested that LGI3 may be a potential prognostic marker of PAC."

Acculturation, adopting elements of the dominant culture, may influence skin cancer attitudes and behaviors among Hispanics. We systematically reviewed PubMed articles from 2000 to 2023. Peer-reviewed English articles that assessed the relationship between acculturation and skin cancer in the Hispanic population were included. Andreeva et al. observed that lower acculturation levels correlated with increased use of shade and protective clothing (P < 0.05). More acculturated Latinos were more likely to use sunscreen, but this association weakened after adjusting for covariates (P > 0.48). Heckman et al. highlighted significant differences in skin cancer concern among Hispanic youth, with less acculturated individuals expressing greater worry (P < 0.05). Coups et al. found that higher acculturation was linked to less sun protective clothing usage and more frequent sunburns. Their subsequent online survey indicated that English-acculturated Hispanics engaged less in protective behaviors. Viola et al. reported that English-acculturated Hispanics perceived greater suntan benefits and had lower perceptions of skin cancer risk, severity, and concerns about photo-aging, along with higher melanoma risk factors, compared to Spanish-acculturated Hispanics. Acculturation influences skin cancer attitudes and behaviors in Hispanics. Tailored interventions based on acculturation levels are essential to reduce skin cancer risk. For example, educating English-acculturated Hispanics about skin cancer risks and prioritizing knowledge dissemination for Spanish-acculturated individuals may be effective approaches. These findings emphasize the need for targeted skin cancer prevention efforts to address disparities among US Hispanics."
+7586,skin cancer,38392181,Marine Bioactive Peptides: Anti-Photoaging Mechanisms and Potential Skin Protective Effects.,"Skin photoaging, resulting from prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation, is a form of exogenous aging that not only impacts the aesthetic aspect of the skin but also exhibits a strong correlation with the onset of skin cancer. Nonetheless, the safety profile of non-natural anti-photoaging medications and the underlying physiological alterations during the process of photoaging remain inadequately elucidated. Consequently, there exists a pressing necessity to devise more secure interventions involving anti-photoaging drugs. Multiple studies have demonstrated the noteworthy significance of marine biomolecules in addressing safety concerns related to anti-photoaging and safeguarding the skin. Notably, bioactive peptides have gained considerable attention in anti-photoaging research due to their capacity to mitigate the physiological alterations associated with photoaging, including oxidative stress; inflammatory response; the abnormal expression of matrix metalloproteinase, hyaluronidase, and elastase; and excessive melanin synthesis. This review provides a systematic description of the research progress on the anti-photoaging and skin protection mechanism of marine bioactive peptides. The focus is on the utilization of marine bioactive peptides as anti-photoaging agents, aiming to offer theoretical references for the development of novel anti-photoaging drugs and methodologies. Additionally, the future prospects of anti-aging drugs are discussed, providing an initial reference for further research in this field."

Current trials cover tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), vaccination with IKKb-matured dendritic cells, or autologous dendritic cells loaded with autologous tumor RNA. Another potential approach to treat UM could be based on T cell receptor engineering rather than antibody modification. Immune-mobilizing monoclonal T cell receptors (TCR) against cancer, called ImmTAC TM molecules, represent such an approach. Moreover, nanomedicine, especially miRNA approaches, are promising for future trials. Finally, theranostic radiopharmaceuticals enabling diagnosis and therapy with the same molecule bring hope to this research."

Conducted at the University Hospital ""Le Scotte"" in Siena, Italy, the research includes 111 patients treated from 2018 to 2021. The study aims to understand how pandemic-related healthcare changes affected NMSC treatment, focusing on differences in diagnosis and management before and during the pandemic. Methods involved retrospective analysis of patient demographics, clinical characteristics, lesion details, and treatment modalities, using Jamovi software (version 1.6) for statistical analysis. Results revealed the scalp as the most common NMSC site, with Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) being the predominant histotype. A significant rise in Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) cases and a reduction in surgery duration were noted during the pandemic. The shift to local anesthesia was more pronounced, reflecting the necessity to adapt to healthcare limitations. Despite the disruptions caused by the pandemic, there was no significant drop in NMSC cases, which is attributed to the noticeable nature of head and neck lesions. In conclusion, this study highlights that the COVID-19 pandemic significantly influenced surgical practices in NMSC management, emphasizing the need for effective healthcare strategies that balance quality patient care with public health safety measures."

A 62-year-old lady presented with a progressively increasing lump and pain over her right groin, for 6-month duration. Radiologically, a well-defined, solid-cystic mass was seen involving the right labia with necrotic areas, sparing the underlying muscles and the overlying skin. She underwent a biopsy followed by a surgical excision. Histopathologic examination revealed a spindle cell sarcoma, including tumor cells exhibiting a prominent hemangiopericytomatous pattern. There were focal areas of epithelial differentiation (pseudoglandular) along with areas of round cell morphology and increased mitoses (poor differentiation) in the resected specimen. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were diffusely positive for TLE1, patchily positive for pan keratin (AE1/AE3) and EMA, the latter more in the areas of epithelial differentiation, while negative for CD34, SMA, desmin, S100P, and SOX10. INI1/SMARCB1 showed a characteristic weak to absent (mosaic) staining pattern. Furthermore, the tumor displayed SS18::SSX 1 fusion by RT-PCR. This constitutes one of the few reported cases of vulvar SS, confirmed by molecular testing and the first documented vulvar SS showing a mosaic pattern of INI1/SMARCB1 immunostaining.

However, incidence has been increasing in several countries. We provided an up-to-date overview of mortality trends from CMM. We analyzed death certification data from the WHO in selected countries worldwide from 1980 to the most recent available calendar years. We also reported incidence data derived from Cancer Incidence in Five Continents from 1990 to 2012. Separate analyses were performed for young adults aged 20-44 and middle-aged adults aged 45-64 years. Mortality from CMM in all age groups showed a favorable pattern in the majority of the countries considered. Mortality trends declined by 40 to 50% in Australia over the last decades, confirming the importance of prevention measures. Considering young adults aged 20-44, Australia, New Zealand and Northern Europe reported the highest death rates for both sexes (>0.90/100 000 in men and >0.60/100 000 in women) while Japan, the Philippines, and Latin America the lowest ones (<0.50/100 000 and <0.35/100 000 in men and women, respectively). Incidence trends were stable or upward in most countries, with higher rates among women. Our study highlights a global reduction of CMM mortality over the last three decades. The increasing awareness of risk factors, mainly related to UV exposure, along with early diagnosis and progress in treatment for advanced disease played pivotal roles in reducing CMM mortality, particularly in Australia."

However, the therapeutic efficacy of ferroptosis induction in heterogeneous and plastic melanoma has been compromised, because the melanocytic and transitory cell subpopulation is resistant to iron-dependent oxidative stress. Here, we report a phenotype-altering liposomal nanomedicine to enable the ferroptosis-resistant subtypes of melanoma cells vulnerable to lipid peroxidation via senescence induction. The strategy involves the ratiometric coencapsulation of a cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor (palbociclib) and a ferroptosis inducer (auranofin) within cRGD peptide-modified targeted liposomes. The two drugs showed a synergistic anticancer effect in the model B16F10 melanoma cells, as evidenced by the combination index analysis (<1). The liposomes could efficiently deliver both drugs into B16F10 cells in a targeted manner. Afterward, the liposomes potently induced the intracellular redox imbalance and lipid peroxidation. Palbociclib significantly provoked cell cycle arrest at the G"

+7599,skin cancer,38390613,Males' Access to Human Papillomavirus Vaccination in Resource-Limited Settings.,"The human papillomavirus is known to cause cervical and anogenital cancer and benign anogenital and cutaneous warts. Both males and females can contract the virus during sexual intercourse and skin-to-skin contact. Communities in low- and middle-income countries, including Africa, are particularly suffering from human papillomavirus-related diseases, mainly cervical cancer. Vaccination is the most economical and efficient prevention strategy to control human papillomavirus-related diseases. Undoubtedly, to control all types of human papillomavirus-related morbidity and mortality, the entire at-risk, sexually active population needs to be vaccinated regardless of their sex. However, the vaccination program, particularly in Africa, the world's most resource-limited region, is habitually limited to the female population, considering only the burden of cervical cancer. We think that it is impossible to fully mitigate the human papillomavirus infection by vaccinating only the female population, while males can carry and pass the virus. In addition, marginalizing males from this program seems to violate gender inequality and their sexual and reproductive health rights. Hence, we voice the need for global and local governments to consider and customize human papillomavirus vaccination programs for the male population. Also, it is better to consider the male population in different research studies regarding human papillomavirus-related malignant and benign conditions."

+7601,skin cancer,38390024,[A case for the inclusion of oculocutaneous albinism as a skin-related Neglected Tropical Disease].,"Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is genetically transmitted. In this paper we advocate for this disease to be included in the NTD list of the WHO. OCA type 2 is the most common form of albinism in sub-Saharan Africa, with a prevalence of 1 in 7900 among the Bamileke of Cameroon, 1 in 3900 in South Africa and 1 in 1100 among the Ibos of Nigeria, as compared to a prevalence of 1 in 10,000 among African Americans and 1 in 36,000 among White Americans and Europeans. The medical problems related to ophthalmological aspects (poor visual acuity, ametropia, nystagmus, photophobia) and dermatological aspects of albinism (sensitivity to UV rays from the sun and development of skin cancers) are well known. However, their management is often challenging for persons with albinism in sub-Saharan Africa because of their financial burden and the difficulty of accessing medical specialists. In many African countries, persons with albinism are also very often the subject of social, cultural, medical, moral and economic discrimination, which can limit their access to education, employment and community life. They are considered 'white Africans', intermediary and incomplete, with innate powers for good and evil. This particularity has made persons with albinism the targets of mutilations and/or ritual attacks for the purposes of using their body parts in the preparation of charms to bring good luck, health or prosperity. On 13 June 2013, as a result of lobbying by the Canadian NGO Under the Same Sun and African albinism associations, United Nations bodies including UNESCO and the WHO (World Health Organization) responded and a Resolution addressing the discrimination and attacks was voted in. The date has since become International Albinism Awareness Day and is celebrated on a different theme each year with great energy and impact, especially by French, English and Portuguese speaking albinism associations across sub-Saharan Africa. In 2015 the Human Rights Council created the position of Independent Expert on Albinism to better collect and analyse data on the rights of persons with albinism around the world, and especially in countries where ritual attacks occur. The data collected by albinism associations and the authorities thus go directly to the UN Human Rights Directorate. Despite this international attention to the attacks on persons with albinism, one of the biggest threats is skin cancer, which very often leads to early death. In 2022, the WHO launched a strategic framework for the control and management of neglected skin-related neglected tropical diseases - an additional reason to include oculocutaneous albinism as an NTD. Although the focus is currently limited to dermatoses of an infectious nature, we argue here for the integration of oculocutaneous albinism among NTDs because the deadliness of these carcinomas in sub-Saharan Africa is well-known and has been examined in a number of medical publications. Here, we propose that oculocutaneous albinism in sub-Saharan Africa be classified as an NTD to help people with albinism have access to health, economic, social and cultural rights."
+7602,skin cancer,38389933,The phenomenon of phototoxicity and long-term risks of commonly prescribed and structurally diverse drugs.,"Photosensitivity to structurally diverse drugs is a common but under-reported adverse cutaneous reaction and can be classified as phototoxic or photoallergic. Phototoxic reactions occur when the skin is exposed to sunlight after administering topical or systemic medications that exhibit photosensitizing activity. These reactions depend on the dose of medication, degree of exposure to ultraviolet light, type of ultraviolet light, and sufficient skin distribution volume. Accurate prediction of the incidence and phototoxic response severity is challenging due to a paucity of literature, suggesting that phototoxicity may be more frequent than reported. This paper reports an extensive literature review on phototoxic drugs; the review employed pre-determined search criteria that included meta-analyses, systematic reviews, literature reviews, and case reports freely available in full text. Additional reports were identified from reference sections that contributed to the understanding of phototoxicity. The following drugs and/or drug classes are discussed: amiodarone, voriconazole, chlorpromazine, doxycycline, fluoroquinolones, hydrochlorothiazide, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and vemurafenib. In reviewing phototoxic skin reactions, this review highlights drug molecular structures, their reactive pathways, and, as there is a growing association between photosensitizing drugs and the increasing incidence of skin cancer, the consequential long-term implications of photocarcinogenesis."

However, a standardized approach for the planning and shaping of this combined flap is still lacking. We aimed to propose a comprehensive algorithmic approach for delayed unilateral breast and lymphedema reconstruction using a predesigned abdominal flap associated with inguinal lymph node transfer. We present in detail the preoperative measurements and surgical technique of the chimeric flap, which combines a predesigned DIEP template and a preselected inguinal lymph node flap, based on the preoperative computed tomography angiography and SPEC-CT findings, respectively; four different flap types are described according to the location of the pedicles of the two flap components. Our results of a series of 34 consecutive female patients with unilateral mastectomy and arm lymphedema, who underwent this combined predesigned reconstructive procedure, are retrospectively analyzed and reported. We recorded a high survival rate of the chimeric flaps in our series, with only one case of partial ischemic loss of a DIEP skin island. In the majority of our patients, the pedicles of the combined flaps were located in opposite positions. After a mean 35-month follow-up, we recorded a 47% mean volume difference reduction of the lymphedematous compared to the unaffected arm; no donor-site lymphedema was documented. Self-evaluation questionnaires showed high patient satisfaction rates regarding breast reconstruction. This algorithmic approach provides standardized guidance for accurate design and transfer of the DIEP-VILN chimeric flap while achieving highly satisfactory outcomes for both breast and lymphedema reconstruction."

In general, surgery is the preferred treatment for this tumor, and depending on stage additional consideration to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Immunotherapy has emerged as a new treatment option in this context. The aim of this study was to report a case of melanoma of the uterine cervix that progressed rapidly to death while the patient was undergoing immunotherapy with nivolumab. A 39-year-old woman presented with an amelanotic ulcerated lesion of the uterine cervix in February of 2023. Histopathology study demonstrated melanoma of the uterine cervix. Treatment was initiated with surgery. Two months after cancer diagnosis, the tumor board decided to initiate adjuvant treatment with nivolumab. After four cycles of immunotherapy, progression of the disease occurred with death of the patient within six months of follow-up. The rare case presented illustrates the aggressive natural history of the tumor and possible use of immunotherapy in this context, despite current evidence that response to nivolumab is less effective in cervical melanoma than in skin melanoma."

Similar gross appearances of the masses can complicate clinical interpretation, and histologic review often provides the final diagnosis. Underlying causes vary from infectious to neoplastic. Although inflammatory changes are most commonly reported, various neoplasms occur, although the prevalence of specific tumor types is relatively unknown. We reviewed retrospectively 120 cases (87.5% biopsy, 12.5% autopsy) of neoplastic and non-neoplastic orofacial masses received from January 2000-February 2023 at 2 institutions: University of Guelph, Canada (Animal Health Laboratory and Department of Pathobiology), and Finn Pathologists, United Kingdom. All final diagnoses were achieved through histologic assessment. We included masses or mass-like swellings from the oral cavity, including the mandible and maxilla, and surrounding skin and soft tissues of the oral cavity and jaw. Submissions included pet and commercial (meat and fur) rabbits. Neoplastic lesions were most common (60%), including trichoblastomas, papillomas, melanocytic neoplasms, sarcomas, round-cell tumors, carcinomas (including squamous cell carcinoma), lipomas, odontogenic neoplasms, polyps, osteoma, neuroma, peripheral keratinizing ameloblastoma, and apocrine adenoma. Inflammatory diagnoses (30%) included abscesses, osteomyelitis, dermatitis, and sialadenitis. Other diagnoses (7%) included cysts, as well as hyperplastic skin and proliferative bone lesions. Three cases had no definitive diagnosis. The importance of histologic assessment in diagnosing orofacial ""masses"" in rabbits is highlighted, given that the most common diagnostic category overall was neoplasia."

+7610,skin cancer,38388659,Multiparametric in vitro and in vivo analysis of the safety profile of self-assembling peptides.,"Self-assembling peptides (SAPs) have gained significant attention in biomedicine because of their unique properties and ability to undergo molecular self-assembly driven by non-covalent interactions. By manipulating their composition and structure, SAPs can form well-ordered nanostructures with enhanced selectivity, stability and biocompatibility. SAPs offer advantages such as high chemical and biological diversity and the potential for functionalization. However, studies concerning its potentially toxic effects are very scarce, a limitation that compromises its potential translation to humans. This study investigates the potentially toxic effects of six different SAP formulations composed of natural amino acids designed for nervous tissue engineering and amenable to ready cross-linking boosting their biomechanical properties. All methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations. A wound-healing assay was performed to evaluate how SAPs modify cell migration. The results in vitro demonstrated that SAPs did not induce genotoxicity neither skin sensitization. In vivo, SAPs were well-tolerated without any signs of acute systemic toxicity. Interestingly, SAPs were found to promote the migration of endothelial, macrophage, fibroblast, and neuronal-like cells in vitro, supporting a high potential for tissue regeneration. These findings contribute to the development and translation of SAP-based biomaterials for biomedical applications."

It has a slow onset in the early stages, non-specific clinical symptoms, low specificity, and can easily be overlooked, missed, or misdiagnosed by clinicians and pathologists. In addition, DFSP is prone to recurrence after local surgical treatment; however, distant metastasis, especially abdominal metastasis, is rare, which is also a challenge for the accurate diagnosis of DFSP when it progresses distantly. Now a case of abdominal metastasis of DFSP is reported. The patient has been treated with imatinib for ten years, and the lesion has shrunk, but because the patient has been receiving imatinib treatment, his abdominal lesion was once misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Therefore, we report on this case to enhance the understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of DFSP, and to provide reference for the pathological diagnosis and precise treatment of such patients."

Melanomas diagnosed before transplantation can recur with intensive immunosuppression, but outcomes have not been well studied. We evaluated 901 non-Hispanic White SOTRs with a pretransplant melanoma identified using linked transplant and cancer registry data in the United States. Most pretransplant melanomas were invasive (60.7%), and the median time from diagnosis to transplantation was 5.1 years. After transplantation, 41 SOTRs developed a new invasive melanoma, corresponding to 9-fold increased risk compared with the general population (standardized incidence ratio, 9.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 6.6-12). Twenty-two SOTRs died from melanoma after transplantation, corresponding to 52-fold increased risk (standardized mortality ratio, 52; 95% CI, 33-79). Risk factors for posttransplant melanoma included age at transplantation (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 2.86; 95% CI, 1.24-6.60; for age 55+ vs <55 years) and maintenance immunosuppression with cyclosporine/azathioprine (adjusted HR, 2.53; 95% CI, 1.08-5.90). Melanoma mortality was strongly elevated after a posttransplant melanoma diagnosis (HR, 35.6; 95% CI, 14.0-90.4; adjusted for cyclosporine/azathioprine maintenance therapy and calendar year of transplantation). In conclusion, SOTRs with a pretransplant melanoma are at risk of adverse melanoma-related outcomes after transplantation.

Precise mechanisms of CIPN remain elusive and current clinically prescribed therapies for CIPN have limited efficacy. Recent studies have begun investigating the interactions between the peripheral and central nervous systems and the immune system. Understanding these neuroimmune interactions may shift the paradigm of elucidating CIPN mechanisms. Although the contribution of immune cells to CIPN pathogenesis represents a promising area of research, its fully defined mechanisms have not yet been established. Therefore, in this review, we will discuss (i) current shortcoming of CIPN treatments, (ii) the roles of neuroimmune interactions in CIPN development and (iii) potential neuroimmune interaction-targeting treatment strategies for CIPN. Interestingly, monocytes/macrophages in dorsal root ganglia; microglia and astrocytes in spinal cord; mast cells in skin; and Schwann cell near peripheral nerves have been identified as inducers of CIPN behaviors, whereas T cells have been found to contribute to CIPN resolution. Additionally, nerve-resident immune cells have been targeted as prevention and/or therapy for CIPN using traditional herbal medicines, small molecule inhibitors, and intravenous immunoglobulins in a preclinical setting. Overall, unveiling neuroimmune interactions associated with CIPN may ultimately reduce cancer mortality and improve cancer patients' quality of life."

Linking human physiological processes with materials' changes poses a significant challenge. To match the wound healing process, a spatiotemporal controllable biomimetic skin is developed, which comprises a three-dimensional (3D) printed membrane as the epidermis, a cell-containing hydrogel as the dermis, and a cytokine-laden hydrogel as the hypodermis. In the initial stage of the biomimetic skin repair wound, the membrane frame aids wound closure through pre-tension, while cells proliferate within the hydrogel. Next, as the frame disintegrates over time, cells released from the hydrogel migrate along the residual membrane. Throughout the process, continuous cytokines release from the hypodermis hydrogel ensures comprehensive nourishment. The findings reveal that in the rat full-thickness skin defect model, the biomimetic skin demonstrated a wound closure rate eight times higher than the blank group, and double the collagen content, particularly in the early repair process. Consequently, it is reasonable to infer that this biomimetic skin holds promising potential to accelerate wound closure and repair. This biomimetic skin with mechanobiological effects and spatiotemporal regulation emerges as a promising option for tissue regeneration engineering."

This study aimed to compare the surgical and patient-related outcomes between the transoral vestibular robotic thyroidectomy and traditional low-collar incision thyroidectomy. The clinical data of 120 patients underwent transoral vestibular robotic thyroidectomy (TOVRT) or traditional low-collar incision thyroidectomy (TLCIT) were collected from May 2020 to October 2021. Propensity score matching analysis was used to minimize selection bias. All these patients were diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) through ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration prior to surgical intervention and surgical plan was tailored for each patient. An intraoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) detection system was used in all patients, whose RLNs were identified and protected. We performed transoral vestibular robotic thyroidectomy with three intraoral incisions. Additional right axillary fold incisions were adopted occasionally to enhance fine reverse traction of tissue for radical tumor dissection. Clinical data including gender, age, tumor size, BMI, operation time, postoperative drainage volume and time, pain score, postoperative length of stay (LOS),number of lymph nodes removed, complications, and medical expense were observed and analyzed. Propensity score matching was used for 1:1 matching between the TOVRT group and the TLCIT group. All these patients accepted total thyroidectomy(or lobectomy) plus central lymph node dissection and all suffered from PTC confirmed by postoperative pathology. No conversion to open surgery happened in TOVRT group. The operative time of TOVRT group was longer than that of TLCIT group (P < 0.05). The postoperative drainage volume of TOVRT group was more than that of TLCIT group (P < 0.05). The drainage tube placement time of TOVRT group were longer than that of TLCIT group (P < 0.05). Significant differences were also found in intraoperative bleeding volume, pain score and medical expense between the two groups (P < 0.05). The incidence of perioperative common complications such as hypoparathyroidism and vocal cord paralysis in the two groups was almost identical (P > 0.05). However, there were some specific complications such as surgical area infection (one case), skin burn (one case), oral tear (two cases), and paresthesia of the lower lip and the chin (two cases) were found in TOVRT group. Obviously, the postoperative cosmetic effect of the TOVRT group was better than TLCIT group (P < 0.05). TOVRT is safe and feasible for low to moderate-risk PTC patients and is a potential alternative for patients who require no scar on their neck. Patients accepted TOVRT can get more satisfaction and have less psychologic injury caused by surgery."

Tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) formation favors tumour- infiltrating-lymphocyte (TIL) recruitment and is regarded as an important indicator of good prognosis associated with immunotherapy in patients with tumors. Chemotherapy is currently one of the most commonly used clinical treatment methods. However, there have been no clear report to explore the effects of different types of chemotherapy on TLS formation in the TIME. This study examined the effects of immunogenic cell death (ICD)-inducing chemotherapeutics on immune cells, high-endothelial venules (HEV), and TLSs in mouse melanomas."

+7636,skin cancer,38383520,A precise model for skin cancer diagnosis using hybrid U-Net and improved MobileNet-V3 with hyperparameters optimization.,"Skin cancer is a frequently occurring and possibly deadly disease that necessitates prompt and precise diagnosis in order to ensure efficacious treatment. This paper introduces an innovative approach for accurately identifying skin cancer by utilizing Convolution Neural Network architecture and optimizing hyperparameters. The proposed approach aims to increase the precision and efficacy of skin cancer recognition and consequently enhance patients' experiences. This investigation aims to tackle various significant challenges in skin cancer recognition, encompassing feature extraction, model architecture design, and optimizing hyperparameters. The proposed model utilizes advanced deep-learning methodologies to extract complex features and patterns from skin cancer images. We enhance the learning procedure of deep learning by integrating Standard U-Net and Improved MobileNet-V3 with optimization techniques, allowing the model to differentiate malignant and benign skin cancers. Also substituted the crossed-entropy loss function of the Mobilenet-v3 mathematical framework with a bias loss function to enhance the accuracy. The model's squeeze and excitation component was replaced with the practical channel attention component to achieve parameter reduction. Integrating cross-layer connections among Mobile modules has been proposed to leverage synthetic features effectively. The dilated convolutions were incorporated into the model to enhance the receptive field. The optimization of hyperparameters is of utmost importance in improving the efficiency of deep learning models. To fine-tune the model's hyperparameter, we employ sophisticated optimization methods such as the Bayesian optimization method using pre-trained CNN architecture MobileNet-V3. The proposed model is compared with existing models, i.e., MobileNet, VGG-16, MobileNet-V2, Resnet-152v2 and VGG-19 on the ""HAM-10000 Melanoma Skin Cancer dataset"". The empirical findings illustrate that the proposed optimized hybrid MobileNet-V3 model outperforms existing skin cancer detection and segmentation techniques based on high precision of 97.84%, sensitivity of 96.35%, accuracy of 98.86% and specificity of 97.32%. The enhanced performance of this research resulted in timelier and more precise diagnoses, potentially contributing to life-saving outcomes and mitigating healthcare expenditures."

We used rigorous criteria to recruit PI-ME/CFS participants with matched controls to conduct deep phenotyping. Among the many physical and cognitive complaints, one defining feature of PI-ME/CFS was an alteration of effort preference, rather than physical or central fatigue, due to dysfunction of integrative brain regions potentially associated with central catechol pathway dysregulation, with consequences on autonomic functioning and physical conditioning. Immune profiling suggested chronic antigenic stimulation with increase in naïve and decrease in switched memory B-cells. Alterations in gene expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and metabolic pathways were consistent with cellular phenotypic studies and demonstrated differences according to sex. Together these clinical abnormalities and biomarker differences provide unique insight into the underlying pathophysiology of PI-ME/CFS, which may guide future intervention."
+7638,skin cancer,38383439,The therapeutically actionable long non-coding RNA 'T-RECS' is essential to cancer cells' survival in NRAS/MAPK-driven melanoma.,"Finding effective therapeutic targets to treat NRAS-mutated melanoma remains a challenge. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) recently emerged as essential regulators of tumorigenesis. Using a discovery approach combining experimental models and unbiased computational analysis complemented by validation in patient biospecimens, we identified a nuclear-enriched lncRNA (AC004540.4) that is upregulated in NRAS/MAPK-dependent melanoma, and that we named T-RECS. Considering potential innovative treatment strategies, we designed antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to target T-RECS. T-RECS ASOs reduced the growth of melanoma cells and induced apoptotic cell death, while having minimal impact on normal primary melanocytes. Mechanistically, treatment with T-RECS ASOs downregulated the activity of pro-survival kinases and reduced the protein stability of hnRNPA2/B1, a pro-oncogenic regulator of MAPK signaling. Using patient- and cell line- derived tumor xenograft mouse models, we demonstrated that systemic treatment with T-RECS ASOs significantly suppressed the growth of melanoma tumors, with no noticeable toxicity. ASO-mediated T-RECS inhibition represents a promising RNA-targeting approach to improve the outcome of MAPK pathway-activated melanoma."

+7643,skin cancer,38382868,KLF2 Orchestrates Pathological Progression of Infantile Hemangioma through Hemangioma Stem Cell Fate Decisions.,"Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most prevalent vascular tumor during infancy, characterized by a rapid proliferation phase of disorganized blood vessels and spontaneous involution. IH possibly arises from a special type of multipotent stem cells called hemangioma stem cells (HemSCs), which could differentiate into endothelial cells, pericytes, and adipocytes. However, the underlying mechanisms that regulate the cell fate determination of HemSCs remain elusive. In this study, we unveil KLF2 as a candidate transcription factor involved in the control of HemSCs differentiation. KLF2 exhibits high expression in endothelial cells in proliferating IH but diminishes in adipocytes in involuting IH. Using a combination of in vitro culture of patient-derived HemSCs and HemSCs implantation mouse models, we show that KLF2 governs the proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle progression of HemSCs. Importantly, KLF2 acts as a crucial determinant of HemSC fate, directing their differentiation toward endothelial cells while inhibiting adipogenesis. Knockdown of KLF2 induces a proadipogenic transcriptome in HemSCs, leading to impaired blood vessel formation and accelerated adipocyte differentiation. Collectively, our findings highlight KLF2 as a critical regulator controlling the progression and involution of IH by modulating HemSC fate decisions."
+7644,skin cancer,38382833,Generation of 3D melanoma models using an assembloid-based approach.,"While 3D tumor models have greatly evolved over the past years, there is still a strong requirement for more biosimilar models which are capable of recapitulating cellular crosstalk within the tumor microenvironment while equally displaying representative levels of tumor aggressiveness and invasion. Herein, we disclose an assembloid melanoma model based on the fusion of individual stromal multicellular spheroids (MCSs). In contrast to more traditional tumor models, we show that it is possible to develop self-organizing, heterotypic melanoma models where tumor cells present stem-cell like features like up-regulated pluripotency master regulators SOX2, POU5F1 and NANOG. Additionally, these assembloids display high levels of invasiveness while embedded in 3D matrices as evidenced by stromal cell promotion of melanoma cell invasion via metalloproteinase production. Furthermore, sensitivity to anticancer drug doxorubicin was demonstrated for the melanoma assembloid model. These findings suggest that melanoma assembloids may play a significant role in the field of 3D cancer models as they more closely mimic the tumor microenvironment when compared to more traditional MCSs, opening the doors to a better understanding of the role of tumor microenvironment in supporting tumor progression. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The development of complex 3D tumor models that better recapitulate the tumor microenvironment is crucial for both an improved comprehension of intercellular crosstalk and for more efficient drug screening. We have herein developed a self-organizing heterotypic assembloid-based melanoma model capable of closely mimicking the tumor microenvironment. Key features recapitulated were the preservation of cancer cell stemness, sensitivity to anti-cancer agents and tumor cell invasion promoted by stromal cells. The approach of pre-establishing distinct stromal domains for subsequent combination into more complex tumor constructs provides a route for developing superior tumor models with a higher degree of similarity to native cancer tissues."

In this study, nuclear magnetic resonance-based metabolomics strategy was employed to evaluate the metabolic variations in serum and urine of the GCMN patients in order to understand its underlying biochemical mechanism and provide a potential intervention idea. Twenty-nine metabolites were observed to change significantly in serum and urine metabolomes, which are mainly involved in a variety of metabolic pathways including glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, TCA cycle and metabolisms of amino acids. The substantial cores of all the disturbed metabolic pathways are related to amino acid metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism and regulate the physiological state of the GCMN patients. Our results provide the physiological basis and physiological responses of GCMN and will be helpful for better understanding the molecular mechanisms of GCMN in future research."

This research endeavors to develop an innovative multifunctional nanocomposite system sensitive to near-infrared (NIR) radiation, serving as both a non-oxygen free-radical generator and a photothermal agent. The designed system combines azobis isobutyl imidazoline hydrochloride (AIBI) with mesoporous copper sulfide (MCuS) nanoparticles. MCuS harnesses NIR laser energy to induce photothermal therapy, converting light energy into heat to destroy cancer cells. Simultaneously, AIBI is activated by the NIR laser to produce alkyl radicals, which induce DNA damage in remaining cancer cells. This distinctive feature equips the designed system to selectively eliminate cancers in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. MCuS is also beneficial to scavenge the overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment. GSH generally consumes free radicals and hiders the PDT effect. To enhance control over AIBI release in cancer cells, 1-tetradecyl alcohol (TD), a phase-changing material, is introduced onto the surface of MCuS nanoparticles to create the final AMPT nanoparticle system. In vitro and in vivo experiments confirm the remarkable anti-tumor efficacy of AMPT. Notably, the study introduces an orthotopic tumor model for UM, demonstrating the feasibility of precise and effective targeted treatment within the ocular system."

This study aimed to explore and assess the effect of novel biomarkers on the progression of melanoma. Differently expressed genes (DEGs) were screened from GSE3189 and GSE46517 datasets of Gene Expression Omnibus database using GEO2R. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses were conducted based on the identified DEGs. Hub genes were identified and assessed using protein-protein interaction networks, principal component analysis, and receiver operating characteristic curves. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was employed to measure the mRNA expression levels. TIMER revealed the association between aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) and tumor immune microenvironment. The viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion were detected by cell counting kit-8, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine, wound healing, and transwell assays. Total 241 common DEGs were screened out from GSE3189 and GSE46517 datasets.

The pathophysiological mechanism underlying this increased risk is not completely understood. The aim of this study was to examine if there is a relationship between PMRT and microvascular perfusion in the skin directly after, and at 2 and 6 months after PMRT and to assess if there is impaired responsiveness to a topically applied vasodilator (Methyl nicotinate-MN) after PMRT. Skin microvascular responses after PMRT were measured on two sites in the irradiated chest wall of 22 women before, immediately after, and at 2 and 6 months after unilateral PMRT with the contralateral breast as a control. A significant increase in basal skin perfusion was observed in the irradiated chest wall immediately after RT (p < 0.0001). At 2 and 6 months after RT, there was no longer a difference in basal skin perfusion compared to the contralateral breast and compared to baseline. Similarly, the blood flow response in the skin after application of MN was stronger immediately after RT compared to before RT (p < 0.0001), but there was no difference at later time points. These results indicate that the increased risk for complications after surgical procedures are not directly related to changes in skin perfusion and microvascular responsiveness observed after postmastectomy RT."

+7675,skin cancer,38378246,The difficulty with measuring the largest melanoma tumour diameter in sentinel lymph nodes.,"Identification of sentinel node (SN) metastases can set the adjuvant systemic therapy indication for stage III melanoma patients. For stage IIIA patients, a 1.0 mm threshold for the largest SN tumour diameter is used. Therefore, uniform reproducible measurement of its size is crucial. At present, the number of deposits or their microanatomical sites are not part of the inclusion criteria for adjuvant treatment. The goal of the current study was to show examples of the difficulty of measuring SN melanoma tumour diameter and teach how it should be measured. Histopathological slides of SN-positive melanoma patients were retrieved using the Dutch Pathology Registry (PALGA). Fourteen samples with the largest SN metastasis around 1.0 mm were uploaded via tele-pathology and digitally measured by 12 pathologists to reflect current practice of measurements in challenging cases. Recommendations as educational examples were provided. Microanatomical location of melanoma metastases was 1 subcapsular, 2 parenchymal and 11 combined. The smallest and largest difference in measurements were 0.24 mm and 4.81 mm, respectively. 11/14 cases (78.6%) showed no agreement regarding the 1.0 mm cut-off. The median discrepancy for cases ≤5 deposits was 0.5 mm (range 0.24-0.60, n=3) and 2.51 mm (range 0.71-4.81, n=11) for cases with ≥6 deposits. Disconcordance in measuring SN tumour burden is correlated with the number of deposits. Awareness of this discordance in challenging cases, for example, cases with multiple small deposits, is important for clinical management.

The primary tumor had no FDG uptake in 18 F-FDG PET/CT. Nipple and skin had no pathologic enhancement for invasion in breast MRI. Because the T stage was unclear, the patient underwent 68 Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT for further evaluation. Combination of 68 Ga-FAPI-04 with dedicated breast PET (MAMMI PET) showed nipple and skin involvement of breast cancer with intense FAPI uptake. Consequently, a skin-sparing mastectomy was performed.

Typically, the fibula flap is obtained primarily with the distal perforator due to its reliable blood supply, with less attention given to the proximal perforators during the harvesting process. Normally, the distal perforator of the fibula exhibits stability and shows limited anatomical variations. However, there have been reported cases in which the distal perforator is absent. At times, these vascular abnormalities remain undetectable through Doppler examination or preoperative angiography evaluation.

The prognosis differs between in situ EMPD and invasive EMPD; therefore, therapy should be planned according to the disease stage. We collected data on 643 EMPD cases treated between 2015 and 2019 in Japan and assessed recent trends in EMPD treatment and prognosis based on the EMPD-oriented TNM staging. Among the 643 patients, 317 had stage 0 (49.3%), 185 had stage I (28.8%), 51 had stage II (7.9%), 18 had stage IIIA (2.8%), 48 had stage IIIB (7.5%) and 24 had stage IV (3.7%) disease. Each stage showed a distinct survival curve, with the exception of stages II and IIIA. Curative surgery was most common in patients with stage 0-III disease. Chemotherapy was the first-line therapy, mainly in patients with stage IIIB and IV disease, most commonly with docetaxel (DTX), followed by DTX + tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassium (TS-1) and TS-1. Patients with local disease exhibited a 4.4% recurrence rate. Univariate analysis revealed no prognostic differences according to age, sex or primary tumour site. SLNB was not related to disease-specific survival. In multivariate analysis, female sex significantly predicted local relapse in stage 0-I (HR 3.09; 95% CI, 1.13-8.43), and initial treatment with curative surgery was significantly protective in terms of disease-specific survival in stage II-IIIA (HR, 0.17; 95% CI, 0.04-0.71) and stage IIIB-IV (HR 0.16; 95% CI, 0.05-0.51).

Approved ICIs like cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4), programmed death-1 (PD-1), its ligand PD-L1, and lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3) have improved cancer patient outcomes by enhancing anti-tumor responses. However, some patients are unresponsive, and others experience immune-related adverse events (irAEs), affecting organs like the lung, liver, intestine, skin and now the cardiovascular system. These cardiac irAEs include conditions like myocarditis, atherosclerosis, pericarditis, arrhythmias, and cardiomyopathy. Ongoing clinical trials investigate promising alternative co-inhibitory receptor targets, including T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein 3 (Tim-3) and T cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and ITIM domain (TIGIT). This review delves into the mechanisms of approved ICIs (CTLA-4, PD-1, PD-L1, and LAG-3) and upcoming options like Tim-3 and TIGIT. It explores the use of ICIs in cancer treatment, supported by both preclinical and clinical data. Additionally, it examines the mechanisms behind cardiac toxic irAEs, focusing on ICI-associated myocarditis and atherosclerosis.

Although most early EMPD lesions are indolent, patients with metastatic EMPD have a poor prognosis due to the lack of effective systemic treatment. In this study, we investigated the role of forkhead box M1 (FOXM1), a potent transcription factor, in EMPD and assessed the potential of FOXM1 as a therapeutic target. Immunohistochemistry of 112 primary and 17 metastatic EMPD samples revealed that FOXM1 expression increased with tumor progression. Patients in whom FOXM1 was expressed in more than 10% of tumor cells had significantly shorter disease-specific survival than the other patients (p = 0.0397). In in vitro studies using our newly established EMPD cell line, KS-EMPD-1, we found high expression of FOXM1. Knockdown of FOXM1 impaired tumor cell viability, migration, and invasion. Inhibition of FOXM1 using thiostrepton also reduced tumor cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that FOXM1 is a promising therapeutic target for patients with EMPD."

The multicenter, single-arm, phase 2 RENOBATE trial tested regorafenib-nivolumab as front-line treatment for uHCC. Forty-two patients received nivolumab 480 mg every 4 weeks and regorafenib 80 mg daily (3-weeks-on/1-week-off schedule).

+7705,skin cancer,38374330,Copper and Melanoma Risk: Results from NHANES 2007-2018 and Mendelian Randomization Analyses.,"Copper is an essential trace element obtained from food. There is a paucity of observational or prospective studies that have investigated the relationship between copper and melanoma risk. Copper serves as a cofactor for pivotal enzymes involved in mitochondrial respiration, antioxidant defense, and neurotransmitter synthesis. Undoubtedly, copper plays an indispensable role in the initiation and progression of tumors, particularly melanoma; however, further investigations are warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms linking copper and melanoma risk. Given the availability of dietary copper and serum copper data in the NHANES database, we conducted an investigation into the association between dietary copper intake and serum copper levels with melanoma risk. We enrolled 26,401 individuals with dietary copper data in the 2007-2018 NHANES database. To mitigate confounding variables, a propensity score matching (PSM) was performed. To assess the association between dietary copper intake and melanoma risk, we employed a multivariate logistic regression analysis before and after PSM. The restricted cubic spline analysis was utilized to determine whether there is a non-linear relationship between dietary copper intake and melanoma risk, with subgroup analysis conducted to determine beneficiaries. Then, those with blood copper data from the enrolled population with dietary copper intake were screened out, and subsequently, multivariate logistic regression models were subsequently constructed to investigate the association between serum copper levels and melanoma risk after PSM. Mendelian analysis was further utilized to validate the results of the NHANES database using serum copper as the exposure factor and melanoma as the outcome variable. The study found that melanoma risk was associated with dietary copper intake before and after PSM, demonstrated by multiple logistic regression. The relationship between dietary copper intake and melanoma risk was non-linear, with a reduced risk observed above approximately 2.5 mg/day, as shown by the RCS. The evidence suggests that an increased intake of copper is linked to a decreased risk of melanoma. To clarify the mechanism behind the increased risk of melanoma due to higher dietary copper intake, we analyzed the population data from the NHANES database on serum copper and dietary copper intake. Our results indicated that there is no causal relationship between serum copper and melanoma risk. Mendelian randomization analysis of multi-database data sources confirmed the conclusion of the NHANES database analysis. Dietary copper is a protective factor against melanoma, and serum copper or blood copper is not associated with melanoma risk. This suggests that serum or blood copper is not responsible for the protective effect of dietary copper intake on melanoma risk, and the mechanisms need to be further investigated."

Although PDGF receptor inhibitor imatinib mesylate was approved for the treating patients with unresectable or metastatic DFSP, disease progression was shown in 9.2% of the patients. Therefore, developing novel therapeutic strategies is crucial for improving the prognosis of DFSP. Patient-derived cell lines play a vital role in preclinical studies; however, only a limited number of DFSP cell lines are currently available in public cell banks. Here, we successfully established a novel DFSP cell line (NCC-DFSP5-C1) using surgically resected tumor tissue from a patient with DFSP. NCC-DFSP5-C1 cells were confirmed to carry the COL1A1-PDGFB translocation and maintain the same mutation as the original tumor tissue. They exhibited consistent growth, formed spheroids, and were invasive. By screening a drug library using NCC-DFSP5-C1 and four previously established DFSP cell lines, we identified anti-cancer drugs that inhibit DFSP cell proliferation. Our observations suggest that the NCC-DFSP5-C1 cell line holds promise as a valuable tool for conducting fundamental and preclinical studies for DFSP."

The incidence of leiomyoma in the skin is 3-5% of all leiomyomas. A 27-year-old patient applied to a medical institution with complaints about an intradermal formation in the ear region that occurred repeatedly within 5 months after surgical treatment. After the first surgical intervention, the patient was consulted in various medical organizations, where the following diagnoses were made: «nodular fasciitis», «smooth muscle tumor without signs of malignancy» and «non-epithelial spindle cell neoplasm». According to ultrasound examination, the formation with dimensions of 11×9×5 mm reached the mastoid process of the temporal bone and was characterized by increased internal blood flow. After surgical removal of the neoplasm, taking into account the difficulties of differential diagnosis, an immunohistochemical study was conducted. An accumulation of smooth muscle cells was detected in the surface layers of the dermis under the epidermis by the immunohistochemical study with the use of the marker SMA. A study on CD34 protein revealed a high density of blood capillaries and the absence of its expression in smooth muscle cells. The proliferative index (Ki-67) and mitotic activity (PHH-3) of cells was also studied. The index of proliferative activity was less than 2%, mitoses were isolated. Thus, the results of immunohistochemical study proved the conclusion of piloleiomyoma."

+7718,skin cancer,38371417,Distinct senescence mechanisms restrain progression of dysplastic nevi.,"Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter mutations (TPMs) are frequently found in different cancer types, including ∼70% of sun-exposed skin melanomas. In melanoma, TPMs are among the earliest mutations and can be present during the transition from nevus to melanoma. However, the specific factors that contribute to the selection of TPMs in certain nevi subsets are not well understood. To investigate this, we analyzed a group of dysplastic nevi (DN) by sequencing genes commonly mutated in melanocytic neoplasms. We examined the relationship between the identified mutations, patient age, telomere length, histological features, and the expression of p16. Our findings reveal that TPMs are more prevalent in DN from older patients and are associated with shorter telomeres. Importantly, these TPMs were not found in nevi with BRAF V600E mutations. Conversely, DN with BRAF V600E mutations were observed in younger patients, had longer telomeres and a higher proportion of p16-positive cells. This suggests that these nevi arrest growth independently of telomere shortening through a mechanism known as oncogene-induced senescence (OIS). These characteristics extend to melanoma-sequencing datasets, where melanomas with BRAF V600E mutations were more likely to have a "

Moreover, the association of REV-7 expression with disease severity (clinical course), patients' survival, prognosis, and response to various treatments, such as chemotherapy and irradiation, was investigated. Three databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane) were systematically screened, from inception to September 2, 2023, as suggested by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Only studies using immunohistochemical staining for REV-7 in paraffin-embedded cancer tissues were included. Nine studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final qualitative synthesis. All nine studies were retrospective and non-comparative ones. Selected studies reported immunohistochemical expression of REV-7 in different types of cancer, including testicular cancer, ovarian cancer, esophagus squamous cell carcinoma, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, breast cancer, lung cancer, and skin cancer. High REV-7 expression was associated with faster disease progression, resistance to available treatment options, and worse prognosis in the majority of included studies. These results indicate that immunohistochemical staining of REV-7 protein could potentially be used as a predictive tissue marker in certain cases. Promising results, arising from REV-7 inactivation experiments, render REV-7 targeting a potential therapeutic strategy for future cancer management, especially in the cases of chemoresistant or radioresistant disease."
+7722,skin cancer,38371002,Evaluating Kaposi Sarcoma in Kidney Transplant Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.,"Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a malignancy that commonly appears as lesions on the skin or mucosal surfaces but can also develop in other organs. This cancer is usually caused by the human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), recently known as Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). KS is rare in the general population but can develop in kidney transplant recipients with varying incidence due to immunocompromised status from immunosuppression. The main aim of the present systematic review was to identify the prevalence and treatment of KS in kidney transplant patients. PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases were searched for studies until October 2023. Full-text studies with similar research objectives were included, while non-English articles, reviews, case reports, ongoing clinical trials, and studies evaluating KS in HIV patients or after other solid organ transplants were excluded. All studies were observational; therefore, methodological quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The statistical analyses were performed with the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) software (Biostat, Inc. Englewood, NJ). The pooled analysis from the 15 studies included showed that KS develops in 1.5% of kidney transplant recipients and is more prevalent in African (1.7%) and Middle Eastern (1.7%) recipients than in Western recipients (0.07%). KS was also significantly more prevalent among male recipients than female recipients (OR: 2.36; p < 0.0001). Additionally, cyclosporine-based immunosuppression accounts for most KS incidences (79.6%) compared to azathioprine-based immunosuppression (28.2%). Furthermore, reduction or withdrawal of immunosuppression alone resulted in 47.8% KS complete remissions. Post-kidney transplantation KS is more frequent among males and patients of Middle Eastern and African origin. However, the gender difference may be attributed to most patients undergoing kidney transplants being male. Therefore, if gender balance is considered in future studies, then the difference might be insignificant. Based on our results, we can concur that the mainstay treatment for post-transplant KS is reduction or withdrawal of immunosuppression. However, the patients should be closely monitored to avoid KS recurrence and kidney rejection. Furthermore, there is an increased risk for KS with the use of cyclosporine-based immunosuppression. However, this does not mean that the withdrawal of this immunosuppression agent might result in improved KS outcomes because the withdrawal of azathioprine with or without cyclosporine reduction has also led to improved outcomes."

Currently, there are no studies available on sun-exposure habits among different countries. We conducted a cross-sectional survey among medical students from the University of Rome, Italy and the University of Granada, Spain to compare their photoprotection knowledge, habits, and attitudes. A total of 215 medical students (114 Spanish, and 101 Italian) were included. Spanish students considered the Sun to be the main cause of skin cancer (83.3% vs 61.4%, P=.003) and they looked at their skin more often than Italian students did (32.5% vs 9.9%, P <.001). The latter received information on photoprotection mainly from their dermatologist (34.7%, 35/101) vs Spaniards who received such information from their university (39.5%, 45/114; P <.001). After studying dermatology, Spaniards used sunscreen more frequently than Italians did (76.8% before vs 88.1% after; P=.007), and recognised the need to implement other measures as well (44.9% vs 67.2%; P=.025)."

However, their significance in ocular sebaceous carcinoma (OSC) remains unverified because of the rarity of the condition. This study aimed to investigate the association between clinicopathologic features, biomarkers, and hrHPV infection and their potential to predict prognosis in OSC patients. We analyzed the clinicopathologic features of 81 OSC patients from Asan Medical Center between 2000 and 2022. Seventeen biomarkers and hrHPV were examined using immunohistochemistry and DNA in situ hybridization on tissue microarray cores. hrHPV was identified in 31 cases (38.3%). Univariate analysis revealed that hrHPV infection was associated with comedonecrosis (P = .032), high Ki-67 labeling index (≥30%, P = .042), lower expression of E-cadherin (P = .033), and loss of expression of zinc finger protein 750 (P = .023). Multivariate analysis revealed that loss of expression of zinc finger protein 750 (P = .026) remained an independently associated factor for hrHPV. Progression-free survival analysis was performed on 28 patients who were continuously observed for more than 5 years. During a median follow-up duration of 86 months, recurrence or metastasis developed in 14 patients (50%) within the survival cohort, occurring at a median time of 48 months after excision. Univariate analysis indicated that recurrence or metastasis was associated with tumor size (P = .010), high TILs (≥10%; P = .025), lymphovascular invasion (P = 0.043), site of origin (P = .025), and high expression of bcl-2-associated athanogene 3 (P = .039). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that high TILs (P = .017) and site of origin (P = .025) were independent prognostic factors. The prognosis of OSC was hrHPV-independent, and a better prognosis was associated with the site of origin in the order of the gland of Zeis, meibomian gland, and multicentric site, as well as with high TILs."

+7738,skin cancer,38367867,Immunotherapy in melanoma: Can we predict response to treatment with circulating biomarkers?,"Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer, representing approximately 4% of all cutaneous neoplasms and accounting for up to 80% of deaths. Advanced stages of melanoma involve metastatic processes and are associated with high mortality and morbidity, mainly due to the rapid dissemination and heterogeneous responses to current therapies, including immunotherapy. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are currently used in the treatment of metastatic melanoma (MM) and despite being linked to an increase in patient survival, a high percentage of them still do not benefit from it. Accordingly, the number of therapeutic regimens for MM patients using ICIs either alone or in combination with other therapies has increased, together with the need for reliable biomarkers that can both predict and monitor response to ICIs. In this context, circulating biomarkers, such as DNA, RNA, proteins, and cells, have emerged due to their ability to reflect disease status. Moreover, blood tests are minimally invasive and provide an attractive option to detect biomarkers, avoiding stressful medical procedures. This systematic review aims to evaluate the possibility of a non-invasive biomarker signature that can guide therapeutic decisions. The studies reported here offer valuable insight into how circulating biomarkers can have a role in personalized treatments for melanoma patients receiving ICIs therapy, emphasizing the need for rigorous clinical trials to confirm findings and establish standardized procedures."

We generated a comprehensive atlas of APA quantitative trait methylation sites (apaQTMs) across 21 different types of cancer (1,612 to 60,219 acting in cis and 4,448 to 142,349 in trans). Potential causal apaQTMs in non-cancer samples were also identified. Mechanistically, we observed a strong enrichment of cis-apaQTMs near polyadenylation sites (PASs) and both cis- and trans-apaQTMs in proximity to transcription factor (TF) binding regions. Through the integration of ChIP-signals and RNA-seq data from cell lines, we have identified several regulators of APA events, acting either directly or indirectly, implicating novel functions of some important genes, such as TCF7L2, which is known for its involvement in type 2 diabetes and cancers. Furthermore, we have identified a vast number of QTMs that share the same putative causal CpG sites with five different cancer types, underscoring the roles of QTMs, including apaQTMs, in the process of tumorigenesis. DNA methylation is extensively involved in the regulation of APA events in human cancers. In an attempt to elucidate the potential underlying molecular mechanisms of APA by DNA methylation, our study paves the way for subsequent experimental validations into the intricate biological functions of DNA methylation in APA regulation and the pathogenesis of human cancers. To present a comprehensive catalog of apaQTM patterns, we introduce the Pancan-apaQTM database, available at https://pancan-apaqtm-zju.shinyapps.io/pancanaQTM/."

We aimed to examine the incidence and 5-year survival rates of all types of primary cutaneous malignancies in the Korean population. Data from the Korean Nationwide Cancer Registry from 1999 to 2019 were analyzed. The crude incidence rates, age-standardized incidence rates, and 5-year relative survival rates of each type of skin cancer were calculated. A total of 89 965 patients were diagnosed with primary cutaneous malignancies, which was a 7-fold increase from 1999 to 2019. The age-standardized incidence rates increased 3.4-fold in basal cell carcinoma (3.7/100 000 person-years), 2.0-fold in squamous cell carcinoma (1.6/100 000 person-years), 12.0-fold in Bowen disease (1.2/100 000 person-years), and 1.8-fold in malignant melanoma (0.7/10 000 person-years) in 2019. Average annual percentage changes in age-standardized incidence rates were statistically significant in basal cell carcinoma (15.8%), Bowen disease (5.8%), squamous cell carcinoma (5.1%), malignant melanoma (1.2%), melanoma in situ (1.1%), dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (1.2%), mycosis fungoides (0.5%), primary cutaneous CD30+ T-cell proliferations (0.5%), adnexal and skin appendage carcinoma (0.4%), extramammary Paget's disease (0.2%), and Merkel cell carcinoma (0.2%). The 5-year relative survival rates were the highest in basal cell carcinoma (103.3%), followed by dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (99.7%) and mycosis fungoides (96.6%), and lowest in angiosarcoma (24.7%). The 5-year relative survival rates steadily increased in extramammary Paget's disease (23.6%), cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (21.3%), mycosis fungoides (20.2%), extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (18.1%), and malignant melanoma (16.1%) from 1996-2000 to 2015-2019.

While most of them are designed to classify or detect the presence of pathological lesions in a WSI, the confounding role and redundant nature of normal histology are generally overlooked. In this paper, we propose and validate the concept of an ""atlas of normal tissue"" solely using samples of WSIs obtained from normal biopsies. Such atlases can be employed to eliminate normal fragments of tissue samples and hence increase the representativeness of the remaining patches. We tested our proposed method by establishing a normal atlas using 107 normal skin WSIs and demonstrated how established search engines like Yottixel can be improved. We used 553 WSIs of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma to demonstrate the advantage. We also validated our method applied to an external dataset of 451 breast WSIs. The number of selected WSI patches was reduced by 30% to 50% after utilizing the proposed normal atlas while maintaining the same indexing and search performance in leave-one-patient-out validation for both datasets. We show that the proposed concept of establishing and using a normal atlas shows promise for unsupervised selection of the most representative patches of the abnormal WSI patches."

However, T cells in the context of cancer become exhausted and dysfunctional. Galectin-9 (Gal-9) is highly expressed in normal tissues and associates with body immune tolerance, and was firstly evidenced with much higher expression on the primary solid tumors than CD80/86 (B7) and CD274 (PD-L1) here, which suggests that Gal-9 may be a key factor in inhibiting the anti-tumor immunity, and its receptor T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (TIM-3) was discovered on the cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) with high expression as well based on the single cell analysis. The immune checkpoint communications showed that the Gal-9/TIM-3 axis played the most vital role on negatively regulating the anti-tumor immunity of CTL for melanoma. Then, we used a novel transdermal photothermal nanosensitizer (FSGG) loading Gal-9 siRNA (FSGG/siGal-9) for knocking the tumor cells down Gal-9 to block the Gal-9/TIM-3 axis and prohibit CTL exhaustion synergizing PTT against melanoma, which evidenced good effects on inhibiting tumor growth and enhancing anti-tumor immunity, named ""photothermal immunotherapy"".

+7748,skin cancer,38366030,The Impact of Dermatologic Adverse Events on the Quality of Life of Oncology Patients: A Review of the Literature.,"Dermatologic adverse events resulting from oncologic therapy are common and negatively impact patients' quality of life. Dermatologic adverse events include toxicity of the skin, oral mucosa, nails, and hair and are seen with cytotoxic chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy, with distinct patterns of dermatologic adverse events by drug class. Here, we review the literature on the impact of dermatologic adverse events on quality of life. Studies on quality of life in patients with cancer have relied on scales such as the Dermatologic Life Quality Index and Skindex to demonstrate the association between dermatologic adverse events and declining quality of life. This relationship is likely due to a variety of factors, including physical discomfort, changes to body image, decreased self-esteem, and an effect on social interactions. Addressing such quality-of-life concerns for patients with cancer is critical, not only for patients' well-being but also because decreased satisfaction with treatment can lead to discontinuation of treatment or dose reduction. Prophylactic treatment and early management of dermatologic adverse events by experienced dermatologists can alleviate the negative effects on quality of life and allow continuation of life-prolonging treatment."
+7749,skin cancer,38365950,Longitudinal gut microbiome changes in immune checkpoint blockade-treated advanced melanoma.,"Multiple clinical trials targeting the gut microbiome are being conducted to optimize treatment outcomes for immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). To improve the success of these interventions, understanding gut microbiome changes during ICB is urgently needed. Here through longitudinal microbiome profiling of 175 patients treated with ICB for advanced melanoma, we show that several microbial species-level genome bins (SGBs) and pathways exhibit distinct patterns from baseline in patients achieving progression-free survival (PFS) of 12 months or longer (PFS ≥12) versus patients with PFS shorter than 12 months (PFS <12). Out of 99 SGBs that could discriminate between these two groups, 20 were differentially abundant only at baseline, while 42 were differentially abundant only after treatment initiation. We identify five and four SGBs that had consistently higher abundances in patients with PFS ≥12 and <12 months, respectively. Constructing a log ratio of these SGBs, we find an association with overall survival. Finally, we find different microbial dynamics in different clinical contexts including the type of ICB regimen, development of immune-related adverse events and concomitant medication use. Insights into the longitudinal dynamics of the gut microbiome in association with host factors and treatment regimens will be critical for guiding rational microbiome-targeted therapies aimed at enhancing ICB efficacy."

We hypothesized that the combination of targeted and immunotherapy given prior to therapeutic lymph node dissection (TLND) would be tolerable and drive robust pathologic responses. In NeoACTIVATE (NCT03554083), a Phase II trial, patients with clinically evident resectable Stage III melanoma received either 12 weeks of neoadjuvant vemurafenib, cobimetinib, and atezolizumab (BRAF-mutated, Cohort A, n = 15), or cobimetinib and atezolizumab (BRAF-wild-type, Cohort B, n = 15) followed by TLND and 24 weeks of adjuvant atezolizumab. Here, we report outcomes from the neoadjuvant portion of the trial.

As a specific COX2 inhibitor, parecoxib sodium suppresses the inflammatory response during burn injury. The effect of parecoxib sodium on ALI induced by burn injury and the associated molecular mechanism still need to be investigated. The role of parecoxib sodium in burn injury-induced ALI through the TLR4/NF-κB pathway was explored in the present study. A burn-induced ALI mouse model was constructed, and M1/M2 macrophages in lung tissue and markers involved in the TLR4/NF-κB signalling pathway were evaluated in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and MH-S mouse alveolar macrophages in vitro.

We employ nonparametric maximum pseudo-likelihood estimation under the working assumptions that all types of events are independent and each type of event is a nonhomogeneous Poisson process, and we develop a simple and stable EM-type algorithm. We show that the resulting estimators of the regression parameters are consistent and asymptotically normal, with a covariance matrix that can be estimated consistently by a sandwich estimator. In addition, we develop a class of graphical and numerical methods for checking the adequacy of the fitted model. Finally, we evaluate the performance of the proposed methods through simulation studies and analysis of a skin cancer clinical trial."

If diagnosed in the early stages, melanoma has high survival rates, approximating 94%. According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), from 2014 to 2018, the incidence of metastatic melanoma was estimated to be 0.9 per 100,000. Mucosal and ocular melanomas typically have worse prognoses. Melanoma was once considered a very aggressive cancer that was resistant to traditional therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation, and even single-agent targeted therapies in their early stages of development. A dramatic improvement in the quality of life and overall survival of patients with metastatic melanoma has resulted after the advent of various new combinations of targeted therapies and different modalities of immunotherapies.  Melanoma is distinct from nonmelanoma skin cancers because it spreads locally, regionally, and distantly. An individual's risk of metastasis is directly related to the depth of invasion and ulceration of the primary lesion. The early stages of cancer metastasis involve invasion, angiogenesis, extravasation, dissemination, and colonization of the target organ. Patients with clinically node-negative disease and those with negative sentinel lymph node biopsy can still present with distant metastatic disease. Moreover, complete lymph node dissection has not been proven to offer a survival benefit to patients with node-positive disease.  There are reports of the transfer of melanoma from a donor to a recipient after an organ transplant, even when the transplant was performed years after the donor was diagnosed with melanoma. Such distant seeding suggests the possibility of early subclinical micrometastasis in melanoma. According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), only about 4% of melanomas are present with metastasis. Therefore, distant metastasis may involve several factors, including tumor microenvironment and immune surveillance. A search for metastasis-specific genetic alterations in melanoma has not been particularly successful. However, copy number alterations, MITF amplification, TERT promoter mutations, and CDKN2A loss occur at higher frequencies in metastatic melanomas than in primary melanomas. Melanoma has a propensity for spreading to the central nervous system (CNS), leading to high morbidity, mortality as well as resistance to therapy due to the blood-brain barrier."

Although NLR assessment in peripheral blood is established, tissue dynamics remain insufficiently explored. This study aimed to evaluate tissue NLR (tNLR)'s predictive potential through immunohistochemistry in immunotherapy-treated melanoma. Fifty melanoma patients who underwent anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) therapy were assessed. Hematological, clinical and tumor features were collected from medical records. Responses were categorized using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors for immunotherapy (iRECIST) guidelines. Immunohistochemistry for tumor-infiltrating T cells (cluster differentiation 3) and neutrophils (myeloperoxidase) was performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor samples. NLR, derived NLR (dNLR) and tNLR were calculated. Overall survival (OS) and survival following immunotherapy (SFI) were calculated from diagnosis or immunotherapy start to loss of follow-up or death. Patients with high tNLR presented improved OS ( P =  0.038) and SFI with anti-PD-1 therapy ( P =  0.006). Both NLR and dNLR were associated with OS ( P =  0.038 and P =  0.046, respectively) and SFI ( P =  0.001 and P =  0.019, respectively).

Integrative machine learning procedure including 10 methods was conducted to develop an ITH-related signature (IRS) in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), GSE54467, GSE59455 and GSE65904 cohort. Several scores, including tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion (TIDE) score, tumor mutation burden (TMB) score and immunophenoscore (IPS), were used to evaluate the role of IRS in predicting immunotherapy benefits. Two immunotherapy datasets (GSE91061 and GSE78220) were utilized to the role of IRS in predicting immunotherapy benefits of skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) patients. The optimal prognostic IRS constructed by Lasso method acted as an independent risk factor and had a stable and powerful performance in predicting the overall survival rate in SKCM, with the area under the curve of 2-, 3- and 4-year receiver operating characteristic curve being 0.722, 0.722 and 0.737 in TCGA cohort. We also constructed a nomogram and the actual 1-, 3- and 5-year survival times were highly consistent with the predicted survival times. SKCM patients with low IRS scores had a lower TIDE score, lower immune escape score and higher TMB score, higher PD1&CTLA4 IPS. Moreover, SKCM patients with low IRS scores had a lower gene sets score involved in DNA repair, angiogenesis, glycolysis, hypoxia, IL2-STAT5 signaling, MTORC1 signaling, NOTCH signaling and P53 pathway. The current study constructed a novel IRS in SKCM using 10 machine learning methods. This IRS acted as an indicator for predicting the prognosis and immunotherapy benefits of SKCM patients."
+7767,skin cancer,38363903,Establishment of skin cutaneous melanoma prognosis model based on vascular mimicry risk score.,"Studies have indicated that Vascular mimicry (VM) could contribute to the unfavorable prognosis of skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM). Thus, the objective of this study was to identify therapeutic targets associated with VM in SKCM and develop a novel prognostic model. Gene expression data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) were utilized to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). By intersecting these DEGs with VM genes, we acquired VM-related DEGs specific to SKCM, and then identified prognostic-related VM genes. A VM risk score system was established based on these prognosis-associated VM genes, and patients were then categorized into high- and low-score groups using the median score. Subsequently, differences in clinical characteristics, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), and other analyses were further presented between the 2 groups of patients. Finally, a novel prognostic model for SKCM was established using the VM score and clinical characteristics. 26 VM-related DEGs were identified in SKCM, among the identified DEGs associated with VM in SKCM, 5 genes were found to be prognostic-related. The VM risk score system, comprised of these genes, is an independent prognostic risk factor. There were significant differences between the 2 patient groups in terms of age, pathological stage, and T stage. VM risk scores are associated with epithelial biological processes, angiogenesis, regulation of the SKCM immune microenvironment, and sensitivity to targeted drugs. The novel prognostic model demonstrates excellent predictive ability. Our study identified VM-related prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for SKCM, providing novel insights for clinical diagnosis and treatment."

+7770,skin cancer,38363399,Post-transplant Inflammatory Bowel Disease Associated with Donor-Derived TIM-3 Deficiency.,"Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) occurring following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (aSCT) is a very rare condition. The underlying pathogenesis needs to be better defined. There is currently no systematic effort to exclude loss- or gain-of-function mutations in immune-related genes in stem cell donors. This is despite the fact that more than 100 inborn errors of immunity may cause or contribute to IBD. We have molecularly characterized a patient who developed fulminant inflammatory bowel disease following aSCT with stable 100% donor-derived hematopoiesis. A pathogenic c.A291G; p.I97M HAVCR2 mutation encoding the immune checkpoint protein TIM-3 was identified in the patient's blood-derived DNA, while being absent in DNA derived from the skin. TIM-3 expression was much decreased in the patient's serum, and in vitro-activated patient-derived T cells expressed reduced TIM-3 levels. In contrast, T cell-intrinsic CD25 expression and production of inflammatory cytokines were preserved. TIM-3 expression was barely detectable in the immune cells of the patient's intestinal mucosa, while being detected unambiguously in the inflamed and non-inflamed colon from unrelated individuals. In conclusion, we report the first case of acquired, ""transplanted"" insufficiency of the regulatory TIM-3 checkpoint linked to post-aSCT IBD."
+7771,skin cancer,38363129,Cancer-associated Fibroblast-specific Expression of the Matricellular Protein CCN1 Coordinates Neovascularization and Stroma Deposition in Melanoma Metastasis.,"Melanoma is the leading cause of skin cancer-related death. As prognosis of patients with melanoma remains problematic, identification of new therapeutic targets remains essential. Matricellular proteins are nonstructural extracellular matrix proteins. They are secreted into the tumor microenvironment to coordinate behavior among different cell types, yet their contribution to melanoma is underinvestigated. Examples of matricellular proteins include those comprising the CCN family. The CCN family member, CCN1, is highly proangiogenic. Herein, we show that, in human patients with melanoma, although found in several tumor cell types, CCN1 is highly expressed by a subset of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) in patients with melanoma and this expression correlates positively with expression of proangiogenic genes and progressive disease/resistance to anti-PD1 checkpoint inhibitors. Consistent with these observations, in a syngeneic C57BL6 mouse model of melanoma, loss of CCN1 expression from Col1A2-Cre-, herein identified as ""universal,"" fibroblasts, impaired metastasis of subcutaneously injected B16F10 tumor cells to lung, concomitant with disrupted neovascularization and collagen organization. Disruption of the extracellular matrix in the loss of CCN1 was validated using a novel artificial intelligence-based image analysis platform that revealed significantly decreased phenotypic fibrosis and composite morphometric collagen scores. As drug resistance is linked to matrix deposition and neoangiogenesis, these data suggest that CCN1, due to its multifaceted role, may represent a novel therapeutic target for drug-resistant melanoma. Our data further emphasize the essential role that cancer-associated, (universal) Col1A2-Cre-fibroblasts and extracellular matrix remodeling play in coordinating behavior among different cell types within the tumor microenvironment."

This study reports the pharmacodynamics (PD) and biomarker results from phase I/Ib first-in-human study of SAR439459 ± cemiplimab in patients with advanced solid tumors (NCT03192345). In dose-escalation phase (Part 1), SAR439459 was administered intravenously at increasing doses either every 2 weeks (Q2W) or every 3 weeks (Q3W) with cemiplimab IV at 3 mg/kg Q2W or 350 mg Q3W, respectively, in patients with advanced solid tumors. In dose-expansion phase (Part 2), patients with melanoma received SAR439459 IV Q3W at preliminary recommended phase II dose (pRP2D) of 22.5/7.5 mg/kg or at 22.5 mg/kg with cemiplimab 350 mg IV Q3W. Tumor biopsy and peripheral blood samples were collected for exploratory biomarker analyses to assess target engagement and PD, and results were correlated with patients' clinical parameters. SAR439459 ± cemiplimab showed decreased plasma and tissue TGFβ, downregulation of TGFβ-pathway activation signature, modulation of peripheral natural killer (NK) and T cell expansion, proliferation, and increased secretion of CXCL10. Conversion of tumor tissue samples from 'immune-excluded' to 'immune-infiltrated' phenotype in a representative patient with melanoma SAR439459 22.5 mg/kg with cemiplimab was observed. In paired tumor and plasma, active and total TGFβ1 was more consistently elevated followed by TGFβ2, whereas TGFβ3 was only measurable (lower limit of quantitation ≥2.68 pg/mg) in tumors. SAR439459 ± cemiplimab showed expected peripheral PD effects and TGFβ alteration. However, further studies are needed to identify biomarkers of response."
+7775,skin cancer,38362828,Induction of stearoyl-CoA desaturase confers cell density-dependent ferroptosis resistance in melanoma.,"Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death that is induced by inhibiting glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), which eliminates lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis induction is influenced by the cell environment. However, the cellular states altering ferroptosis susceptibility remain largely unknown. We found that melanoma cell lines became resistant to ferroptosis as cell density increased. Comparative transcriptome and metabolome analyses revealed that cell density-dependent ferroptosis resistance was coupled with a shift toward a lipogenic phenotype accompanied by strong induction of stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD). Database analysis of gene dependency across hundreds of cancer cell lines uncovered a negative correlation between GPX4 and SCD dependency. Importantly, SCD inhibition, either pharmacologically or through genetic knockout, sensitized melanoma cells to GPX4 inhibition, thereby attenuating ferroptosis resistance in cells at high density. Our findings indicate that transition to an SCD-inducing, lipogenic cell state produces density-dependent resistance to ferroptosis, which may provide a therapeutic strategy against melanoma."

Cutaneous irAEs are common and affect up to 50% of patients treated with ICIs. There have been an increasing number of cases reported in the literature regarding ICI-induced subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE). ICI-induced SCLE is important to recognize as it can result in a delayed and/or prolonged skin reaction despite treatment discontinuation. We describe a patient with gastro-esophageal adenocarcinoma who developed SCLE following one cycle of nivolumab treatment. A 75-year-old man presented to our clinic with a new photo-distributed rash composed of oval scaly pink papules and plaques involving his chest and arms. Despite treatment with topical corticosteroids, he presented to the emergency department 1 week later with worsening rash. Skin biopsy showed vacuolar interface pattern, along with superficial perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate, consistent with a drug eruption. The clinicopathological presentation was consistent with ICI-induced SCLE. Nivolumab treatment was discontinued due to the severity of the rash. The rash remitted with systemic corticosteroids, high potency topical steroids, and hydroxychloroquine. Unfortunately, the patient developed intraperitoneal metastatic disease, and was enrolled in hospice care. In this paper, we highlight the importance of early identification and treatment of this irAE. A review of the literature, including a discussion on the management of ICI-induced SCLE is also provided."

Surgery is the standard of care for these cancers and conventional external radiotherapy (CONV-RT) with conventional dose rate (0.03-0.06 Gy/sec) represents a good alternative when the patients or tumors are not amenable to surgery but routinely generates skin side effects. Low energy electron FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) is a new form of radiotherapy exploiting the biological advantage of the FLASH effect, which consists in delivering radiation dose in milliseconds instead of minutes in CONV-RT. In pre-clinical studies, when compared to CONV-RT, FLASH-RT induced a robust, reproducible and remarkable sparing of the normal healthy tissues, while the efficacy on tumors was preserved. In this context, we aim to prospectively evaluate FLASH-RT versus CONV-RT with regards to toxicity and oncological outcome in localized cutaneous BCC and SCC."

Nevertheless, many healthcare professionals lack the basic technical understanding of how this technology works, which severely limits its application in clinical settings and research. Thus, we would like to discuss the functioning and classification of AI using melanoma as an example in this review to build an understanding of the technology behind AI. For this purpose, elaborate illustrations are used that quickly reveal the technology involved. Previous reviews tend to focus on the potential applications of AI, thereby missing the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the subject matter that is so important for clinical application. Malignant melanoma has become a significant burden for healthcare systems. If discovered early, a better prognosis can be expected, which is why skin cancer screening has become increasingly popular and is supported by health insurance. The number of experts remains finite, reducing their availability and leading to longer waiting times. Therefore, innovative ideas need to be implemented to provide the necessary care. Thus, machine learning offers the ability to recognize melanomas from images at a level comparable to experienced dermatologists under optimized conditions."
+7784,skin cancer,38361107,Review: Are moles senescent?,"Melanocytic nevi (skin moles) have been regarded as a valuable example of cell senescence occurring in vivo. However, a study of induced nevi in a mouse model reported that the nevi were arrested by cell interactions rather than a cell-autonomous process like senescence, and that size distributions of cell nests within nevi could not be accounted for by a stochastic model of oncogene-induced senescence. Moreover, others reported that some molecular markers used to identify cell senescence in human nevi are also found in melanoma cells-not senescent. It has thus been questioned whether nevi really are senescent, with potential implications for melanoma diagnosis and therapy. Here I review these areas, along with the genetic, biological, and molecular evidence supporting senescence in nevi. In conclusion, there is strong evidence that cells of acquired human benign (banal) nevi are very largely senescent, though some must contain a minor non-senescent cell subpopulation. There is also persuasive evidence that this senescence is primarily induced by dysfunctional telomeres rather than directly oncogene-induced."
+7785,skin cancer,38360993,Shared and distinct mechanisms of UBA1 inactivation across different diseases.,"Most cellular ubiquitin signaling is initiated by UBA1, which activates and transfers ubiquitin to tens of E2 enzymes. Clonally acquired UBA1 missense mutations cause an inflammatory-hematologic overlap disease called VEXAS (vacuoles, E1, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) syndrome. Despite extensive clinical investigation into this lethal disease, little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms. Here, by dissecting VEXAS-causing UBA1 mutations, we discovered that p.Met41 mutations alter cytoplasmic isoform expression, whereas other mutations reduce catalytic activity of nuclear and cytoplasmic isoforms by diverse mechanisms, including aberrant oxyester formation. Strikingly, non-p.Met41 mutations most prominently affect transthioesterification, revealing ubiquitin transfer to cytoplasmic E2 enzymes as a shared property of pathogenesis amongst different VEXAS syndrome genotypes. A similar E2 charging bottleneck exists in some lung cancer-associated UBA1 mutations, but not in spinal muscular atrophy-causing UBA1 mutations, which instead, render UBA1 thermolabile. Collectively, our results highlight the precision of conformational changes required for faithful ubiquitin transfer, define distinct and shared mechanisms of UBA1 inactivation in diverse diseases, and suggest that specific E1-E2 modules control different aspects of tissue differentiation and maintenance."

For example, oncogenic mutations in Braf and Nras genes arise predominantly in melanocytic neoplasms of the epidermis, while oncogenic mutations in Gnaq/11 genes arise mostly in melanocytic lesions of the dermis or the uvea. The mechanisms promoting cell-type and tissue-specific oncogenic events currently remain poorly understood. Here, we report that Gnaq/11 hotspot mutations occur as early oncogenic drivers during the evolution of primary melanomas in Hgf-Cdk4 mice. Additional single base substitutions in the Trp53 gene and structural chromosomal aberrations favoring amplifications of the chromosomal region containing the Met receptor gene accumulate during serial tumor transplantation and in cell lines established in vitro.

Yet, disparities among socially underserved racial/ethnic groups in the United States (US) provide significant challenges to achieving adequate nutrition during these years of rapid growth and maturation. For example, Black children and adolescents are at greater risk for having food insecurity, lower-quality diets, obesity, and numerous associated health challenges that result from these disparities compared to their White peers. A growing body of evidence indicates that improving diet quality is critical for improving childhood and adolescent health and well-being, and that the diverse nutritional profile and bioactive compounds found within dairy foods may play multiple roles in promoting proper growth and development during these life stages. Therefore, to support overall health and development among Black youth, greater education and implementation efforts are needed to help this population meet the national dietary recommendations of 2.5 to 3 servings of dairy foods per day. Continuing to fall short of these recommendations puts Black children and adolescents at risk of multiple nutrient inadequacies and health disparities that can have lifelong impacts on disease development, mental health, and quality of life. This review presents the state of knowledge on health disparities and modifiable nutritional strategies involving milk and dairy foods to support the growth and maturation of children and adolescents, with a special focus on Black youth in the US."
+7791,skin cancer,38360444,Bowen disease is not synonymous with intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma.,"The terms 'Bowen disease' and 'intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma' are sometimes considered synonymous. In this paper we present historical, clinical, histological and molecular evidence that this is incorrect. The term Bowen disease should be reserved for a subset of intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma with a distinctive and reproducible morphological pattern, described in detail by Bowen in 1912. One other common subset of intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma represents progression of actinic keratosis. In some cases the separation of these two common patterns of intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma can be challenging and there are patterns of intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma which appear to represent other distinct pathways. However, there is emerging biological evidence to support this distinction and reason to suspect that the types of invasive squamous cell carcinoma which arise from these different pathways may show important clinical and biological differences, particularly in the era of targeted and immunomodulatory therapy for advanced disease."

Further studies, however, also revealed roles of DR3 in other cellular pathways, including inflammation, survival, and proliferation. DR3 is expressed in various cell types, including T cells, B cells, innate lymphocytes, myeloid cells, fibroblasts, and even outside the immune system. Because DR3 is mainly expressed on T cells, DR3-mediated immune perturbations leading to autoimmunity and other diseases were mostly attributed to DR3 activation of T cells. However, which T cell subset and what T effector functions are controlled by DR3 to drive these processes remain incompletely understood.

Yet there is no study which reports the direct neural recording and its pattern during in-vivo progression of the cancer. We performed daily neural recordings from male and female mice bearing orthotopic metastasizing- melanomas and melanomas with low metastatic poential, derived from B16-F10 and B16-F1 cells, respectively. Further, to explore the origins of neural activity, 6-Hydroxidopamine mediated chemical sympathectomy was performed followed by daily microneurographic recordings. We also performed the daily bioluminescent imaging to track in vivo growth of primary tumors and distant metastasis to the cranial area. Our results show that metastasizing tumors display high levels of neural activity while tumors with low metastatic potential lack it indicating that the presence of neural activity is linked to the metastasizing potential of the tumors. Moreover, the neural activity is not continuous over the tumor progression and has a sex-specific temporal patterns where males have two peaks of high neural activity while females show a single peak. The neural peak activity originated in peripheral sympathetic nerves as sympathectomy completely eliminated the peak activity in both sexes. Peak activities were highly correlated with the distant metastasis in both sexes. These results show that sympathetic neural activity is crucially involved in tumor metastasis and has sex-specific role in malignancy initiation."

Recently, novel dermatoscopic techniques based on principles of reflectance/absorption and excited fluorescence have been developed. However, comprehensive data on their applications are sparse, and terminology is inconsistent. In this systematic review, we addressed the principles of ultraviolet (UV) imaging and proposed categorization based on spectral characteristics and signal acquisition, as well as discussed documented and potential clinical applications, safety measures during examination, and limitations associated with reflectance and fluorescence dermatoscopy. A literature search was conducted in the PubMed medical database until 2 December 2023 according to PRISMA guidelines, and 28 papers fit the scope of this review, whereas additional relevant articles were included to provide broader context regarding the chosen terminology, chromophores described, safety of sub-UV/UV, and regulations for light-emitting devices. UV and sub-UV dermatoscopy, categorized into different methods on the basis of the emitted wavelength and signal acquisition process (reflectance versus fluorescence), augment conventional dermatoscopy by optimizing safety margins in melanoma, facilitating early detection of tumor recurrence, and enhancing visualization in non-neoplastic conditions, including pigmentation disorders, intertrigo, papulo-desquamative dermatoses, and beyond. The review highlights the limitations of these techniques, including difficulty in differentiating melanin from hemoglobin, challenges in evaluating uneven surfaces, and artifacts.

Sebaceous carcinoma accounts for 0.2-4.6% of all malignant cutaneous neoplasms, and the estimated rate of occurrence is only 1-2 per 1 million individuals per year. These tumors frequently present with a painless sub-cutaneous nodule, but they can also present as pedunculated lesions, irregular mass, or diffuse thickening of the skin. Hence, they are misinterpreted as other benign tumors or inflammatory conditions, thereby leading to delay in diagnosis, inappropriate treatment, increased morbidity, and mortality."

Previously, systemic therapy for advanced melanoma aimed only at tumor control and palliation of symptoms. However, in recent years, some patients who received systemic therapy have achieved a complete response and survived without continuous treatment for more than several years. This review discusses the long-term survival rates achieved with currently used systemic therapies and their future perspectives. Long-term survival is currently most likely to be achieved with the use of the standard-dose combination of nivolumab plus ipilimumab, however, this regimen is associated with a high frequency of serious or persistent immune-related adverse events. Several new anti-PD-1-based combination therapies with a better risk-benefit balance are currently under development. Although the acral and mucosal subtypes tend to be less responsive to immune checkpoint inhibitors, anti-PD-1-based combination therapy should continue to be investigated for these subtypes owing to its potential for better long-term survival. With the development of efficacious immunotherapy and targeted therapy, it is important to determine the optimal duration of systemic therapy to avoid unnecessary health and financial burdens as well as to improve efforts to support long-term cancer survivors. As the goal of systemic therapy shifts from tumor control to long-term survival, in future clinical trials, long-term clinical outcomes should be evaluated to assess the benefits of novel agents."

Therefore, it is critically important that the knowledge gap in skin of color dermatology be urgently addressed. In addition to addressing the clinical gap in recognizing dermatologic disease in patients of color, the role of dermatopathology in bridging this gap remains unaddressed. Given the impact that skin color can have on the presentation and subsequent management of dermatologic diseases, understanding the current knowledge of the unique structural and histologic characteristics in skin of color may help give us insight on the role skin color should play in histopathologic diagnosis. In this paper, we bring insights into the role dermatopathology plays in addressing our knowledge of cutaneous disease in patients with skin of color. After we highlight issues to consider, we can begin to identify gaps in knowledge that still exist within dermatopathology that need to be addressed to ensure patients of all backgrounds receive equitable dermatologic care."

Our goals were to identify signals active in the skin of patients with sclerotic cGVHD in an effort to better understand how to treat this manifestation and to explore the heterogeneity of the disease. We identified genes that are significantly upregulated in the skin of patients with sclerotic cGVHD (n = 17) compared with those in the skin of patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation without cutaneous cGVHD (n = 9) by bulk RNA sequencing. Sclerotic cGVHD was most associated with T helper 1, phagocytic, and fibrotic pathways. In addition, different transcriptomic groups of affected patients were discovered: those with fibrotic and inflammatory/T helper 1 gene expression (the fibroinflammatory group) and those with predominantly fibrotic/TGFβ-associated expression (the fibrotic group).

Apatinib can augment the antitumor effect of paclitaxel, oxaliplatin, or fluorouracil in preclinical studies of AGC. A phase I clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the anticancer activity and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of apatinib plus POF in treatment-naïve patients with AGC and to establish a recommended phase II dose. Participants received escalating doses of daily oral apatinib (250, 375, 500, 625, 750, and 850 mg) plus POF every 2 weeks using a conventional ""3 + 3"" study design. Among 21 treated patients, one experienced a dose-limiting toxicity (grade 3 skin ulceration at 850 mg). No MTD was reached. Apatinib 750 mg plus POF was recommended for phase II study. The most common grade 3-4 adverse events (AEs) were neutropenia (33.3%), mucositis (14.3%), and hand-foot syndrome (14.3%). Median progression-free and overall survival were 10.4 months (95% CI: 6.3, 14.6) and 18.4 months (95% CI: 9.8, 28.2), respectively. Apatinib up to 850 mg coadministered with POF was well tolerated with manageable AEs. The safety and anticancer activity of this regimen warrants its further investigation as first-line treatment for AGC in a larger study."

+7821,skin cancer,38354382,A Comparison of Preferentially Expressed Antigen in Melanoma Immunohistochemistry and Diagnostic Gene Expression-Profiling Assay in Challenging Melanocytic Proliferations.,"Most melanocytic tumors are classified as benign or malignant based on clinical morphology, histology, and immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis. A subset of more challenging cases with ambiguous features may require further evaluation with established ancillary diagnostic molecular studies, including fluorescence in situ hybridization and/or single nucleotide polymorphism array, to increase diagnostic certainty. More recently, a diagnostic gene expression-profiling (GEP) assay and an IHC stain for the detection of PRAME (PReferentially expressed Antigen in MElanoma) have been developed. The use of PRAME IHC has been validated in cases of unequivocal and ambiguous melanocytic proliferations via comparing results with fluorescence in situ hybridization and/or single nucleotide polymorphism array. A study comparing performance metrics of PRAME IHC and diagnostic GEP has not been previously published. Herein, we evaluated the use of PRAME IHC in 55 melanocytic tumors with challenging histomorphology by comparing the results with diagnostic GEP and final histomorphologic diagnosis. Intertest agreement occurred in 88% of cases. PRAME IHC supported the final diagnosis in 89% of cases with a sensitivity of 79%, specificity of 95%, and positive predictive value of 88.2%. GEP agreed with the final diagnosis in 88% of cases with a sensitivity of 65%, 97% specificity, and positively predicted melanoma in 91.7% of cases. Because the results of this study align with past publications evaluating the performance metrics of PRAME IHC, showing it to be as sensitive as and more cost effective than all other ancillary molecular tests, we propose the use of PRAME IHC as the optimal first-line diagnostic tool for ambiguous melanocytic proliferations."

Cutaneous involvement in EHE can occur either by spreading from underlying bone or rarely could be limited to the skin and mostly presents as solitary well-circumscribed mass to an ill-defined infiltrative lesion. We present a case of rapidly progressive and debilitating EHE presenting multiple vascular papules and nodules. Histopathology showed an ill-circumscribed nodular proliferation of epithelioid and spindled cells in the dermis that extended into the subcutaneous tissue. The tumor cells had moderate eosinophilic cytoplasm, vesicular chromatin, and prominent nucleoli. In addition, they showed evidence of lumen formation and intracytoplasmic vacuoles. Brisk mitosis was noted. On immunohistochemistry, the cells were strongly positive for CD31, CD34, and ERG (ETS [erythroblast transformation-specific]-related gene). MIB-1 labeling index was more than 75% in the highest proliferating areas. A high degree of clinical suspicion and immunopathological examination is recommended for early diagnosis of this rare condition before it becomes function or life-threatening."

As a result, CS is characterised by an increased risk of developing various benign and malignant tumours, such as thyroid, breast, endometrial and urogenital neoplasms, as well as gastrointestinal tract tumours. However, the neuroendocrine tumour association with CS is not elucidated yet. We present a case of a 46-year-old male patient diagnosed with testicular seminoma and follicular thyroid cancer in his medical history. Our patient met the clinical diagnostic criteria of Cowden syndrome. Genetic analysis established the clinical diagnosis; a known heterozygous PTEN mutation was detected [PTEN (LRG_311t1)c.388 C > T (p.Arg130Ter)].

Here, we provide a streamlined and reproducible experimental workflow to identify plasma- and serum- derived EV proteins of healthy donors and melanoma patients using minimal amounts of sample input. SEC-DIA-MS couples size-exclusion chromatography to EV concentration and deep-proteomic profiling using data-independent acquisition. From as little as 200 µL of plasma per patient in a cohort of three healthy donors and six melanoma patients, we identified and quantified 2896 EV-associated proteins, achieving a 3.5-fold increase in depth compared to previously published melanoma studies. To compare the EV-proteome to unenriched blood, we employed an automated workflow to deplete the 14 most abundant proteins from plasma and serum and thereby approximately doubled protein group identifications versus native blood. The EV proteome diverged from corresponding unenriched plasma and serum, and unlike the latter, separated healthy donor and melanoma patient samples. Furthermore, known melanoma markers, such as MCAM, TNC, and TGFBI, were upregulated in melanoma EVs but not in depleted melanoma plasma, highlighting the specific information contained in EVs. Overall, EVs were significantly enriched in intact membrane proteins and proteins related to SNARE protein interactions and T-cell biology. Taken together, we demonstrated the increased sensitivity of an EV-based proteomic workflow that can be easily applied to larger melanoma cohorts and other indications."

Natural extracts, including the essential oils of Pistacia lentiscus (PLEO), exhibit substantial anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities where different cancers are reported to dramatically recess following targeting with PLEO. PLEO has promising antimicrobial, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the therapeutic properties of PLEO are restricted by limited stability, bioavailability, and targeting ability. PLEO nanoformulation can maximize their physicochemical and therapeutic properties, overcoming their shortcomings. Hence, PLEO was extracted and its chemical composition was determined by GC-MS. PLEO and 5-Fluorouracil (5FU) were electrospun into poly-ε-caprolactone nanofibers (PCL-NFs), of 290.71 nm to 680.95 nm diameter, to investigate their anticancer and potential synergistic activities against triple-negative breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231), human adenocarcinoma breast cancer cells (MCF-7), and human skin melanoma cell line (A375). The prepared nanofibers (NFs) showed enhanced thermal stability and remarkable physical integrity and tensile strength. Biodegradability studies showed prolonged stability over 42 days, supporting the NFs use as a localized therapy of breast tissues (postmastectomy) or melanoma. Release studies revealed sustainable release behaviors over 168 h, with higher released amounts of 5FU and PLEO at pH 5.4, indicating higher targeting abilities towards cancer tissues. NFs loaded with PLEO showed strong antioxidant properties. Finally, NFs loaded with either PLEO or 5FU depicted greater anticancer activities compared to free compounds. The highest anticancer activities were observed with NFs co-loaded with PLEO and 5FU. The developed 5FU-PLEO-PCL-NFs hold potential as a local treatment of breast cancer tissues (post-mastectomy) and melanoma to minimize their  possible recurrence."

Herein, we performed clinicopathologic and genetic analyses of 13 SCAND cases and 5 control cases of endocrine mucin-producing sweat gland carcinoma (EMPSGC). The SCAND group included 11 males and 2 females with a median age of 68 years (range, 50 to 80 y). All SCAND lesions occurred in the ventral trunk or genital area. Of the 13 SCAND cases, 9 and 5 exhibited lymph node and distant metastases, respectively. Three (23.1%) patients with SCAND died of the disease. In contrast, neither metastasis nor mortality was confirmed in the EMPSGC cases. Immunoexpression of the androgen receptor, c-Myb, and MUC2 was limited in SCAND, whereas EMPSGC frequently expressed these immunomarkers. GATA3 P409Afs*99 extension mutations were detected in 7 (53.8%) of the 13 SCAND cases, using Sanger or panel sequencing. All 7 SCAND cases with GATA3 mutations were located in the genital, inguinal, or lower abdominal regions, whereas 5 of the other 6 SCAND cases were located in the anterior upper to mid-trunk. No GATA3 mutations were detected in the EMPSGC cases (0/5, 0%). These clinicopathologic and genetic findings support SCAND as a tumor entity distinguishable from EMPSGC. In addition, the characteristic frameshift extension mutations in GATA3 contribute to the establishment of the tumor-type concept of SCAND."

Herein, we report a smart DNA hydrogel that enables the release of multivalent functional units at the tumor site to enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy. The smart DNA hydrogel was assembled from two types of ultra-long DNA chains synthesized via rolling circle amplification. One DNA chain contained immune adjuvant CpG oligonucleotides and polyaptamers for loading natural killer cell-derived exosomes; the other chain contained multivalent G-quadruplex for loading photodynamic agents. DNA chains formed DNA hydrogel through base-pairing. HhaI restriction endonuclease sites were designed between functional units. Upon stimuli in the tumor sites, the hydrogel was effectively cleaved by the released HhaI and disassembled into functional units. Natural killer cell-derived exosomes played an anti-tumor role, and the CpG oligonucleotide activated antigen-presenting cells to enhance the immunotherapy. Besides the tumor-killing effect of photodynamic therapy, the generated cellular debris acted as an immune antigen to further enhance the immunotherapeutic effect. In a mouse melanoma orthotopic model, the smart DNA hydrogel as a localized therapeutic agent, achieved a remarkable tumor suppression rate of 91.2 %. The smart DNA hydrogel exhibited enhanced efficacy of synergistic immunotherapy and photodynamic therapy, expanding the application of DNA materials in biomedicine."

One of the most dangerous illnesses that affect people is skin cancer. A type of skin cancer called melanoma starts in the melanocytes, which regulate the colour in human skin. Reducing the fatality rate from skin cancer requires early detection and diagnosis of conditions like melanoma. In this article, a Self-attention based cycle-consistent generative adversarial network optimized with Archerfish Hunting Optimization Algorithm adopted Melanoma Classification (SACCGAN-AHOA-MC-DI) from dermoscopic images is proposed. Primarily, the input Skin dermoscopic images are gathered via the dataset of ISIC 2019. Then, the input Skin dermoscopic images is pre-processed using adjusted quick shift phase preserving dynamic range compression (AQSP-DRC) for removing noise and increase the quality of Skin dermoscopic images. These pre-processed images are fed to the piecewise fuzzy C-means clustering (PF-CMC) for ROI region segmentation. The segmented ROI region is supplied to the Hexadecimal Local Adaptive Binary Pattern (HLABP) to extract the Radiomic features, like Grayscale statistic features (standard deviation, mean, kurtosis, and skewness) together with Haralick Texture features (contrast, energy, entropy, homogeneity, and inverse different moments). The extracted features are fed to self-attention based cycle-consistent generative adversarial network (SACCGAN) which classifies the skin cancers as Melanocytic nevus, Basal cell carcinoma, Actinic Keratosis, Benign keratosis, Dermatofibroma, Vascular lesion, Squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. In general, SACCGAN not adapt any optimization modes to define the ideal parameters to assure accurate classification of skin cancer. Hence, Archerfish Hunting Optimization Algorithm (AHOA) is considered to maximize the SACCGAN classifier, which categorizes the skin cancer accurately. The proposed method attains 23.01%, 14.96%, and 45.31% higher accuracy and 32.16%, 11.32%, and 24.56% lesser computational time evaluated to the existing methods, like melanoma prediction method for unbalanced data utilizing optimized Squeeze Net through bald eagle search optimization (CNN-BES-MC-DI), hyper-parameter optimized CNN depending on Grey wolf optimization algorithm (CNN-GWOA-MC-DI), DEANN incited skin cancer finding depending on fuzzy c-means clustering (DEANN-MC-DI).

To avoid clotting during treatment, the ECP system used must be effectively primed with an anticoagulant. Heparin is the recommended anticoagulant for the THERAKOS CELLEX System, but acid citrate dextrose-A (ACDA) is often used. We compared system performance between these two anticoagulants for this ECP system. Deidentified data for ECP device performance were obtained at each treatment session, from automatically logged Smart Cards or labels completed by device operators. We compared the effects of ACDA or heparin on overall treatment duration, buffy coat (leukocyte) collection time, photoactivation time and the number of alarms and warnings. The variability in these parameters was also assessed. Data from 23 334 treat sessions were analyzed; ACDA was used in 34.4% and heparin in 65.6%. Overall, the ECP procedure duration, buffy coat collection time and photoactivation time were numerically similar regardless of whether ACDA or heparin was used, and regardless of needle mode. Photoactivation time variability was lower with ACDA compared with heparin in all needle modes. Among treatments that were completed automatically without any operator intervention, total treatment duration and photoactivation time were significantly reduced with ACDA use in both the double- and single-needle modes. The data presented indicate that, in both double- and single-needle modes, the THERAKOS® CELLEX® integrated ECP system performed similarly with ACDA compared to heparin, although ACDA demonstrated potential benefits in reducing variability in photoactivation time."

Although the advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has revolutionized cancer treatment, their efficacy and safety in patients with concurrent autoimmune diseases (AD) and malignancies remains uncertain. Several studies have suggested the safe administration of ICIs in patients with AD, indicating that successful cancer therapy can alleviate CAD symptoms. Conversely, other studies have raised concerns about the potential for ICIs to exacerbate AD flares or immune-related adverse events (irAEs). A comparative analysis of two cases from our institution emphasizes the variability in ICI responses among SCLC patients with CAD. One patient, previously reported as a case study, exhibited significant clinical improvement in DM symptoms after ICI administration, whereas the other developed severe exfoliative skin changes and experienced an unfavorable prognosis. This variability emphasizes the need for careful patient selection and close monitoring during ICI treatment. We hypothesized that overweight or obese individuals and those with severe initial skin lesions and elevated lactate dehydrogenase levels are more susceptible to developing irAEs following ICI therapy. Therefore, caution is advised when considering immunotherapy in these patients."

These neoplasms are able to secrete a variety of bioactive amines or peptide hormones. The majority of NENs are well-differentiated and are defined as neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). While NETs are known to frequently metastasize to lymph nodes, liver, and lungs, spread to the skin is extremely rare and is often a late finding. Because cutaneous metastasis from a visceral site represents distant tumor dissemination, prompt histologic diagnosis is critical in terms of selecting further treatment options and ultimately impacts subsequent prognosis. This report presents a man with painful cutaneous NET metastases initially on the face then scalp. He had a prior history of longstanding and progressive stage IV visceral disease.

The H4 histamine receptor plays a key role in histamine-induced itching. During the skin inflammation associated with AD, pro-inflammatory mediators (interleukins, cytokines) are released from neurons. Ultimately, a cascade of reactions leads to the activation and sensitization of transient receptor potential channels (TRP), which exacerbate the inflammation and itching associated with AD.

The need for safe, effective, and cost-efficient wound healing remedies has led to the identification of naturally occurring bioactive compounds with positive effects on tissue regeneration. Berry fruits are a promising source of such compounds and may therefore prove distinctively beneficial. Here, we present a qualitative review of the available evidence specifically investigating the effects of berry extracts on in vitro and in vivo models of wound healing. The evidence shows that a variety of berry extracts significantly promote wound healing through their antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties as well as their ability to stimulate collagen synthesis, re-epithelization, granulation, and vascularization pathways.

Due to the ability of PSC to resemble several benign and malignant conditions, diagnosis is often delayed or mistaken. In addition, even with a known diagnosis, choosing the right treatment is still an open debate. For this reason, we decided to review the most up-to-date literature on PSC and propose a dedicated procedural protocol to help clinicians when dealing with PSC. A PubMed search was carried out using the terms ""Sebaceous Carcinoma"", ""Adnexal Periocular Cancer"", ""Sebaceous Carcinoma AND eyelid"", ""Periocular Sebaceous Carcinoma"", and ""Ocular Adnexa"". Pertinent studies published in English from 1997 up to December 2022 were compared to the selection criteria and if suitable, included in this review. Through the initial search, 84 articles were selected. Of these, 36 were included in the final study. Several papers explored different diagnostic and therapeutic strategies regarding PSC diagnosis and management. In light of the current literature review and the multidisciplinary experience of three clinical centers, a dedicated procedural protocol is proposed. PSC diagnosis may be achieved through accurate clinical evaluation, but it requires histopathologic confirmation, which can be challenging. Dermoscopy, in vivo reflectance confocal microscopy, and optical coherence tomography may facilitate PSC clinical examination, while immunohistochemistry stains may support histological diagnosis. Appropriate disease staging is necessary before choosing the treatment, as local disease requires radically different treatment compared to advanced disease. In addition, recent innovations in nonsurgical treatments, including radio-chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, may be a viable option in the most challenging cases."
+7851,skin cancer,38351314,Emerging roles of MITF as a crucial regulator of immunity.,"Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factor (bHLH-Zip), has been identified as a melanocyte-specific transcription factor and plays a critical role in melanocyte survival, differentiation, function, proliferation and pigmentation. Although numerous studies have explained the roles of MITF in melanocytes and in melanoma development, the function of MITF in the hematopoietic or immune system-beyond its function in melanin-producing cells-is not yet fully understood. However, there is convincing and increasing evidence suggesting that MITF may play multiple important roles in immune-related cells. Therefore, this review is focused on recent advances in elucidating novel functions of MITF in cancer progression and immune responses to cancer. In particular, we highlight the role of MITF as a central modulator in the regulation of immune responses, as elucidated in recent studies."

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with either aminolevulinic acid (ALA) or methylaminolevulinate (MAL), as well as topical treatments such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), diclofenac gel, piroxicam, imiquimod, and ingenol mebutate, have all shown higher efficacy than vehicle treatments. PDT is widely recognized for its high efficacy; however, concerns for associated pain have driven new studies to begin using alternative illumination and pretreatment techniques, including lasers. Among topical treatments, a combination of 5-FU and salicylic acid (5-FU-SA) has shown to be the most effective but also causes the most adverse reactions. Tirbanibulin, a new topical agent approved for use in 2020, boasts a favorable safety profile in comparison with imiquimod, 5-FU, and diclofenac. Meanwhile, ingenol mebutate is no longer recommended for the treatment of AKs due to concerns for increased risk of cSCC development. Moving forward, an increasing number of studies push for standardization of outcome measures to better predict risk of future cSCC and use of more effective measures of cost to better guide patients. Here, we present an updated and comprehensive narrative review both confirming the efficacy of previously mentioned therapies as well as highlighting new approaches to PDT and discussing the use of lasers and novel topical treatments for treatment of AK."

This report describes the case of a man in his 70s, who underwent radical excision of a squamous cell carcinoma involving his right antihelix. We adopted an innovative approach for the reconstruction of the antihelix, using a tunnelled preauricular flap reinforced with an ipsilateral concha cartilage graft. The flap's base was de-epithelialised, allowing a single-stage procedure. Three months postoperation, no complications arose, and the scars at the donor site were effectively concealed. The aesthetic result was excellent, thanks to the perfect colour match, symmetry, shape of the auricle and the long-lasting integrity of the antihelical structure.This technique allows for accurate reconstruction of the convoluted surface of the auricle in cases of full-thickness defects of the antihelix, without the need to harvest cartilage from other donor sites and in a single surgical procedure."

The increasing of morbidity and mortality of melanoma and other types of skin cancers is registered. The early detection of disease assures mortality decreasing and increases survival of patients. The purpose of the study is to develop optimal model of organizational and preventive measures of early diagnostic of malignant skin tumors. The comprehensive study was carried out, which included assessment of survey of patients using questionnaire ""Melanoma Diagnosis Day"". Also it included identification of level of awareness of physicians about screening, medical records of patients during COVID-19 pandemic, risk groups identification and effectiveness of selecting patient for screening. The total number of observations is 21 581. The selective and continuous observation method was applied and parametric and non-parametric methods as well. The study determined that during COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, there was significant reliable uncompensated decrease in the number of patients with diagnosis of ICD D23, L82, C44 and decrease in the number of detected diseases. The melanoma, basalioma and other skin malignant neoplasms are reliably more common in patients of medium-high risk group, aged 60 years and older and in persons sunburned at the age of 18 years. The assignation of separate specialist to diagnose skin neoplasms allows statistically reliably increase rate of morphological confirmation of malignant neoplasms as compared to common reception by dermatologist. The sociological survey of physicians revealed statistically reliable difference in knowledge between dermatovenereologists, oncologists and physicians of other specialties concerning screening issues. The results of the study permitted to develop complex of organizational measures to improve screening.

This edible fungus has been widely exploited for traditional medicine and functional food production. C. militaris is a heterothallic fungus that requires both the mating-type loci, MAT1-1 and MAT1-2, for fruiting body formation. However, recent studies also indicated two groups of C. militaris, including monokaryotic strains carrying only MAT1-1 in their genomes and heterokaryotic strains harboring both MAT1-1 and MAT1-2. These strain groups are able to produce fruiting bodies under suitable cultivating conditions. In previous work, we showed that monokaryotic strains are more stable than heterokaryotic strains in fruiting body formation through successive culturing generations. In this study, we report a high cordycepin-producing monokaryotic C. militaris strain (HL8) collected in Vietnam. This strain could form normal fruiting bodies with high biological efficiency and contain a cordycepin content of 14.43 mg/g lyophilized fruiting body biomass.

+7868,skin cancer,38349540,Nanocarriers in topical photodynamic therapy.,"Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has gained significant attention due to its superiority over conventional treatments. In the context of skin cancers and nonmalignant skin diseases, topical application of photosensitizer formulations onto affected skin, followed by illumination, offers distinct advantages. Topical PDT simplifies therapy by providing easy access to the skin, increasing drug concentration within the target area, and confining residual photosensitivity to the treated skin. However, the effectiveness of topical PDT is often hindered by challenges such as limited skin penetration or photosensitizer instability. Additionally, the hypoxic tumor environment poses further limitations. Nanocarriers present a promising solution to address these challenges."
+7869,skin cancer,38349538,High-volume facilities are significantly more likely to use guideline-adherent systemic immunotherapy for metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma: implications for cancer care regionalization.,"Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a neuroendocrine skin cancer with a high rate of mortality. While still relatively rare, the incidence of MCC has been rapidly rising in the US and around the world. Since 2017, two immunotherapeutic drugs, avelumab and pembrolizumab, have been FDA-approved for the treatment of metastatic MCC and have revolutionized outcomes for MCC. However, real-world outcomes can differ from clinical trial data, and the adoption of novel therapeutics can be gradual. We aimed to characterize the treatment practices and outcomes of patients with metastatic MCC across the US. A retrospective cohort study of adult cases of MCC in the National Cancer Database diagnosed from 2004 to 2019 was performed. Multivariable logistic regressions to determine the association of a variety of patient, tumor, and system factors with likelihood of receipt of systemic therapies were performed. Univariate Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox survival regressions were performed. We identified 1017 cases of metastatic MCC. From 2017 to 2019, 54.2% of patients received immunotherapy. This increased from 45.1% in 2017 to 63.0% in 2019. High-volume centers were significantly more likely to use immunotherapy (odds ratio 3.235, p = 0.002). On univariate analysis, patients receiving systemic immunotherapy had significantly improved overall survival (p < 0.001). One-, 3-, and 5-year survival was 47.2% (standard error [SE] 1.8%), 21.8% (SE 1.5%), and 16.5% (SE 1.4%), respectively, for patients who did not receive immunotherapy versus 62.7% (SE 3.5%), 34.4% (SE 3.9%), and 23.6% (SE 4.4%), respectively, for those who did (Fig. 1). In our multivariable survival regression, receipt of immunotherapy was associated with an approximately 35% reduction in hazard of death (hazard ratio 0.665, p < 0.001; 95% CI 0.548-0.808). Our results demonstrate that the real-world survival advantage of immunotherapy for metastatic MCC is similar to clinical trial data. However, many patients with metastatic disease did not receive this guideline-recommended therapy in our most recent study year, and use of immunotherapy is higher at high-volume centers. This suggests that regionalization of care to high-volume centers or dissemination of their practices, may ultimately improve patient survival."

These responses can be further limited by subsequent disease recurrence and resistance. Combination immunotherapy strategies are being developed to overcome these limitations. We have previously reported enhanced efficacy of combined intratumoral cowpea mosaic virus immunotherapy (CPMV IIT) and ICT approaches. Lymphocyte-activation gene-3 (LAG-3) is a next-generation inhibitory immune checkpoint with broad expression across multiple immune cell subsets. Its expression increases on activated T cells and contributes to T cell exhaustion. We observed heightened efficacy of a combined CPMV IIT and anti-LAG-3 treatment in a mouse model of melanoma. Further, LAG-3 expression was found to be increased within the TME following intratumoral CPMV administration. The integration of CPMV IIT with LAG-3 inhibition holds significant potential to improve treatment outcomes by concurrently inducing a comprehensive anti-tumor immune response, enhancing local immune activation, and mitigating T cell exhaustion."
+7871,skin cancer,38348999,Injectable Nanocomposite Immune Hydrogel Dressings: Prevention of Tumor Recurrence and Anti-Infection after Melanoma Resection.,"Complex wound repair due to tumor recurrence and infection following tumor resection presents significant clinical challenges. In this study, a bifunctional nanocomposite immune hydrogel dressing, SerMA-LJC, is developed to address the issues associated with repairing infected damaged tissues and preventing tumor recurrence. Specifically, the immune dressing is composed of methacrylic anhydride-modified sericin (SerMA) and self-assembled nanoparticles (LJC) containing lonidamine (Lon), JQ1, and chlorine e6 (Ce6). In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that the nanocomposite hydrogel dressing can trigger immunogenic cell death (ICD) and has a potent anti-tumor effect. Moreover, this dressing can mitigate the acidic microenvironment of tumor cells and suppress the overexpression of PD-L1 on the tumor cell surface, thereby altering the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and augmenting the anti-tumor immune response. Further, the RNA sequencing analysis revealed that the hydrogel dressing significantly impacts pathways associated with positive regulation of immune response, apoptotic process, and other relevant pathways, thus triggering a potent anti-tumor immune response. More importantly, the dressing generates a substantial amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can effectively kill Staphylococcus aureus and promote infectious wound healing. In conclusion, this dual-function nanocomposite immune hydrogel dressing exhibits promise in preventing tumor recurrence and promoting infectious wound healing."

+7873,skin cancer,38348768,Decoding the synergistic potential of MAZ-51 and zingerone as therapy for melanoma treatment in alignment with sustainable development goals.,"Melanoma, an invasive class of skin cancer, originates from mutations in melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells. Globally, approximately 132,000 new cases are reported each year, and in South Africa, the incidence stands at 2.7 per 100,000 people, signifying a worrisome surge in melanoma rates. Therefore, there is a need to explore treatment modalities that will target melanoma's signalling pathways. Melanoma metastasis is aided by ligand activity of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1), vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) and C-X-C chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) which bind to their receptors and promote tumour cell survival, lymphangiogenesis and chemotaxis. (3-(4-dimethylaminonaphthelen-1-ylmethylene)-1,3-dihydroindol-2-one) MAZ-51 is an indolinone-based molecule that inhibits VEGF-C induced phosphorylation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR-3). Despite the successful use of conventional cancer therapies, patients endure adverse side effects and cancer drug resistance. Moreover, conventional therapies are toxic to the environment and caregivers. The use of medicinal plants and their phytochemical constituents in cancer treatment strategies has become more widespread because of the rise in drug resistance and the development of unfavourable side effects. Zingerone, a phytochemical derived from ginger exhibits various pharmacological properties positioning it as a promising candidate for cancer treatment. This review provides an overview of melanoma biology and the intracellular signalling pathways promoting cell survival, proliferation and adhesion. There is a need to align health and environmental objectives within sustainable development goals 3 (good health and well-being), 13 (climate action) and 15 (life on land) to promote early detection of skin cancer, enhance sun-safe practices, mitigation of environmental factors and advancing the preservation of biodiversity, including medicinal plants. Thus, this review discusses the impact of cytostatic cancer drugs on patients and the environment and examines the potential use of phytochemicals as adjuvant therapy."

We sought to describe symptom burden and identify symptom clusters occurring in MM patients after autoHCT using data from the BMT CTN 0702 randomized controlled trial comparing the outcomes of three treatment interventions after an autoHCT in 758 MM patients. We analysed individual transplant-related symptoms assessed via the FACT-BMT questionnaire at enrolment and annually for 4-year post-autoHCT. We also described the effect the individual symptoms and symptom clusters have on quality of life (QoL). We identified three stable symptom clusters: malaise symptom cluster (lack of energy, feeling ill, having pain, experiencing nausea, loss of appetite), physical symptom cluster (having skin problems, tremors, worsening eyesight, change in taste, shortness of breath, frequent colds) and emotional symptom cluster (feeling sad, being nervous, experiencing sleep problems).

Little is known about factors influencing VDR expression in cutaneous melanoma (CM). We investigated the correlation of VDR expression in CM with 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25OHD) levels, demographic/clinical parameters, genetic variants of VDR and pathology of the primary tumor. Demographic/clinical parameters were recorded in 407 prospectively recruited CM patients of a multi-center controlled study (ViDMe trial). We determined VDR expression both in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm by semi-quantitative assessment in CM tissue using histochemistry in 279 patients, expressed in percentages and histoscore (H-score). Genomic DNA from 332 patients was extracted to genotype thirteen VDR single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using TaqMan. VDR expression in CM tissue from 279 patients was correlated with clinical/demographic parameters and 25OHD levels (univariable and multivariable analysis), VDR SNPs (univariable analysis) and pathology parameters of primary CM tissue (univariable analysis). Cytoplasmic VDR expression was increased in patients who stated to have a high sun exposure during their life compared to patients with low sun exposure (p H-score,univariable : 0.001, p H-score,multivariable : 0.004). The A allele of the genetic VDR polymorphism Fok1 was associated with a higher expression of the VDR in the cytoplasm (p cytoplasmic, univariable : 0.001 and p H-score, univariable : 0.02). In the primary tumor, presence of mitosis (p nucleus,%, univariable : 0.002) and perineural invasion (p nucleus,%,univariable : 0.03) were significantly associated with low nuclear VDR expression.

It is characterized by distinct skin lesions, weakness in the muscles close to the body, and the potential to affect multiple organs. Additionally, it may be associated with the presence of malignancies. The development of DM is influenced by genetic susceptibility, autoimmune response, and various external factors like cancer, drugs, and infectious agents. Psoriasis is a chronic, recurring, inflammatory, and systemic condition. Scaly erythema or plaque is the typical skin manifestation. The etiology of psoriasis involves genetic, immune, environmental and other factors. It is uncommon for a patient to have both of these diseases simultaneously, although individuals with DM may occasionally exhibit symptoms similar to those of psoriasis.

The authors describe a teenage patient with ocular melanocytosis who presented with an asymptomatic ipsilateral right orbital mass associated with the lateral rectus muscle. An exploratory orbitotomy revealed a lesion lightly adherent to the underlying sclera. Histopathology demonstrated a markedly atypical epithelioid melanocytic proliferation, bound by a thin rim of superficial sclera, implying an origin from intrascleral melanocytes, likely within an emissary canal. Next-generation sequencing identified GNAQ and NF1 mutations. The histopathology and molecular genetics designated the lesion as having a uveal melanoma-like profile, suggesting that it may behave as a choroidal melanoma. This case underscores the importance of the association between ocular melanocytosis and orbital melanoma and provides additional evidence for primary orbital melanoma etiopathogenesis."

The basic methodology of introducing the external influences, for example, time-targeted drug therapy or radiation exposure, influence of electromagnetic fields, laser radiation or other tumor-targeting physical influences act differently in different phases of the cell cycle. In some cases, this can lead to a slowdown in the growth of cancer cells, and sometimes vice versa. Therefore, it is of particular interest to choose the right parameters such as starting time of external pressure, its magnitude and duration depending on the cell cycle of developing cancer cells. We propose a biologically inspired model that allows us to simulate the growth of cancer cells under conditions of osmotic pressure. We divide this growth into two phases. The first is characterized by active cell division, and the second by their growth. In this article, we introduce two types of pressure: short-term and long-term, and looked at what this leads to in different phases. We have found an interesting result, that there are some resonant points in time both in the first and second phases, when the introduction of additional pressure leads to the most significant slowdown in the growth of cancer cells."

It falls under the category of sweet duct neoplasms, along with poromas. It affects the elderly population most frequently. Typically, it emerges as a small, distinct, and painless lump beneath the skin's surface, often occurring on the head and neck regions. It is characterized by a low risk of malignant transformation. Accurate identification relies especially on histomorphological analysis considering the intricate resemblance it shares with other tumors originating from eccrine glands. Poroid hidradenoma has only recently been recognized, and only a limited number of cases have been reported in the medical literature. In this instance, we present an unusual occurrence of a giant poroid hidradenoma on the left forearm of an elderly patient."

Paraneoplastic syndromes, an idiopathic inflammatory myositis characterized by various skin manifestations (such as dermatomyositis (DM)), cannot be attributed to the primary tumor itself. Here, we report an unusual case of UC-OGC presenting as a paraneoplastic syndrome, the first reported from Saudi Arabia and the Arabian Gulf states. A 49-year-old Eritrean woman with known DM was referred to our hospital with a left-sided pleural effusion. Computed tomography of the abdomen revealed a large necrotic splenic mass (~17 × 12.9 × 18.2 cm). The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with en bloc resection of the mass (splenectomy, distal pancreatectomy, and partial excision of the left hemidiaphragm). Following a histopathological examination of the mass, UG-OGC of the pancreas, presenting as a paraneoplastic syndrome, was diagnosed. To our knowledge, this case is the first to present a paraneoplastic syndrome associated with UC-OGC. The identification of an exceedingly rare tumor presenting atypically as a paraneoplastic syndrome shows the importance of conducting comprehensive examinations of patients with malignancies, emphasizing the need for more reports of similar cases."

In recent years, deep learning models have shown remarkable success in various computer vision tasks, including image classification. In this research study, we introduce an approach for skin cancer classification using vision transformer, a state-of-the-art deep learning architecture that has demonstrated exceptional performance in diverse image analysis tasks. The study utilizes the HAM10000 dataset; a publicly available dataset comprising 10,015 skin lesion images classified into two categories: benign (6705 images) and malignant (3310 images). This dataset consists of high-resolution images captured using dermatoscopes and carefully annotated by expert dermatologists. Preprocessing techniques, such as normalization and augmentation, are applied to enhance the robustness and generalization of the model. The vision transformer architecture is adapted to the skin cancer classification task. The model leverages the self-attention mechanism to capture intricate spatial dependencies and long-range dependencies within the images, enabling it to effectively learn relevant features for accurate classification. Segment Anything Model (SAM) is employed to segment the cancerous areas from the images; achieving an IOU of 96.01% and Dice coefficient of 98.14% and then various pretrained models are used for classification using vision transformer architecture. Extensive experiments and evaluations are conducted to assess the performance of our approach. The results demonstrate the superiority of the vision transformer model over traditional deep learning architectures in skin cancer classification in general with some exceptions. Upon experimenting on six different models, ViT-Google, ViT-MAE, ViT-ResNet50, ViT-VAN, ViT-BEiT, and ViT-DiT, we found out that the ML approach achieves 96.15% accuracy using Google's ViT patch-32 model with a low false negative ratio on the test dataset, showcasing its potential as an effective tool for aiding dermatologists in the diagnosis of skin cancer."

The malignant variant of AN is frequently associated with internal malignancies, particularly gastric adenocarcinoma, accounting for 55-61% of cases. Patients exhibiting characteristic skin lesions are commonly initially evaluated in dermatology departments. This case report details a rare instance of a patient diagnosed with malignant acanthosis nigricans, presenting with only a mild form of florid oral papillomatosis concomitant with ovarian carcinoma. The early identification and management of these subtle clinical manifestations enabled timely intervention for the tumor, resulting in patient survival. There are few reported cases of malignant acanthosis nigricans associated with ovarian cancer. Oral medicine specialists should be cognisant of conditions manifesting as extensive oral papillary hyperplasia, and the possibility of an underlying malignant disease should be considered, particularly in cases of elderly-onset AN presenting exclusively with oral lesions."

We are reporting this case because the malignancy led to atrophy of the psoas muscle, and the clinical course differed from the typical presentation of MPS. A 72-year-old Japanese female with advanced sigmoid colon cancer and multiple metastases had been undergoing systemic chemotherapy for four years. She complained of severe back pain on a numeric rating scale (NRS) of 4-5, left groin pain, and hip flexion weakness. Although she could stand up, she started experiencing difficulties while walking and became reliant on a wheelchair. At the time of referral to our department, her performance status was 2. On examination, she was capable of hip adduction and abduction, and flexion was impossible on the left side and possible on the right side. Imaging revealed metastases to the 11th and 12th thoracic vertebrae, extending to the upper portion of the first lumbar vertebra, leading to atrophy of the left psoas major muscle and impairment of hip flexion. She received palliative radiation therapy (RT) of 30 Gy in 10 fractions over a period of 2 weeks. Following RT, she had grade 1 skin inflammation but no severe complications. Two weeks after RT, her pain improved (NRS 0-1) and she regained hip flexion. When hip flexion failure occurs in patients with malignant tumors, it is important to recognize that it may be caused by a tumor located near the lower thoracic or upper lumbar spine, even if the psoas muscle itself is not directly infiltrated by the tumor."

+7908,skin cancer,38343238,Hybrid Topological Data Analysis and Deep Learning for Basal Cell Carcinoma Diagnosis.,"A critical clinical indicator for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the presence of telangiectasia (narrow, arborizing blood vessels) within the skin lesions. Many skin cancer imaging processes today exploit deep learning (DL) models for diagnosis, segmentation of features, and feature analysis. To extend automated diagnosis, recent computational intelligence research has also explored the field of Topological Data Analysis (TDA), a branch of mathematics that uses topology to extract meaningful information from highly complex data. This study combines TDA and DL with ensemble learning to create a hybrid TDA-DL BCC diagnostic model. Persistence homology (a TDA technique) is implemented to extract topological features from automatically segmented telangiectasia as well as skin lesions, and DL features are generated by fine-tuning a pre-trained EfficientNet-B5 model. The final hybrid TDA-DL model achieves state-of-the-art accuracy of 97.4% and an AUC of 0.995 on a holdout test of 395 skin lesions for BCC diagnosis. This study demonstrates that telangiectasia features improve BCC diagnosis, and TDA techniques hold the potential to improve DL performance."

Conventional therapies for skin cancer have numerous systemic side effects and a high recurrence rate. Topical treatment is an alternative approach, but drug permeability remains a challenge. Therefore, nanocarriers appear as important nanotechnology tools that reduces both the side effects and improves clinical outcomes. This is why they are attracting growing interest. In this review, scientific articles on the use of nanocarriers for the topical treatment of skin cancer were collected. Despite the promising results of the presented nanocarriers and considering that some of them are already on the market, there is an urgent need for investment in the development of manufacturing methods, as well as of suitable toxicological and regulatory evaluations, since the conventional methods currently used to develop these nanocarriers-based products are more time-consuming and expensive than conventional products."

However, little is known about the role of environmental toxicant exposure in diseases, especially ubiquitous di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) which is one of the most widely used plasticizers. Hence, the objective of this study was to assess the potential association between cancer and DEHP. The data were collected using the 2011-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data (n = 6147), and multiple logistic regression was conducted to evaluate the association. The concentrations of DEHP were calculated by each metabolite and split into quartiles for analysis. After adjusting for confounding factors, DEHP was significantly associated with an increased risk of cancer prevalence, and the metabolites of DEHP showed similar results (OR > 1.0, p < 0.05). Simultaneously, the association remained when the analyses were stratified by age and sex, and the risk of cancer appeared to be higher in male patients. In addition, further analysis suggested that DEHP exposure obviously increased the risk of female reproductive system cancer, male reproductive system cancer, and other cancers (OR > 1.0, p < 0.05) but not skin and soft tissue cancer. DEHP exposure is associated with the risk of cancer, especially female reproductive system cancer, male reproductive system cancer and other cancers."

We investigated the correlation between ARID mutations, molecular features, and clinical outcomes in melanoma patients. Cutaneous melanoma samples (n = 1577) were analyzed by next-generation sequencing. Samples were stratified by pathogenic/likely pathogenic mutation in ARID genes (ARID1A/2/1B/5B). PD-L1 expression was assessed using IHC (SP142; positive (+): ≥ 1%). Tumor mutation burden (TMB)-high was defined as ≥ 10 mutations/Mb. Transcriptomic signatures predictive of response to immune checkpoint inhibitors-interferon gamma and T-cell inflamed score were calculated. Real-world overall survival (OS) information was obtained from insurance claims data, with Kaplan-Meier estimates calculated from time of tissue collection until last date of contact. Mann-Whitney U, Chi-square, and Fisher exact tests were applied where appropriate, with p values adjusted for multiple comparisons. ARID2 mutations were more prevalent in cutaneous melanoma compared to ARID1A (11.0%: n = 451 vs 2.8%: n = 113), with concurrent ARID1A/ARID2 mutation in 1.1% (n = 46) of samples. ARID mutations were associated with a high prevalence of RAS pathway mutations-NF1 (ARID1A, 52.6%; ARID2, 48.5%; ARID1A/2, 63.6%; and ARID-WT, 13.3%; p < 0.0001) and KRAS (ARID1A, 3.5%; ARID2, 3.1%; ARID1A/2, 6.5%; and ARID-WT, 1.0%; p = 0.018)), although BRAF mutations were less common in ARID-mutated cohorts (ARID1A, 31.9%; ARID2, 35.6%; ARID1A/2, 26.1%; and ARID-WT, 50.4%; p < 0.0001). TMB-high was more common in ARID-mutated samples (ARID1A, 80.9%; ARID2, 89.9%; ARID1A/2, 100%; and ARID-WT, 49.4%; p < 0.0001), while PD-L1 positivity was similar across subgroups (ARID1A, 43.8%; ARID2, 51.1%; ARID1A/2, 52.5%; and ARID-WT, 44.9%; p = 0.109). Patients with ARID1A mutations had a higher prevalence of dMMR/MSI-H compared to those with ARID-WT (2.7% vs 0.2%, p = 0.030). Median IFN-γ and T-cell signatures were higher in ARID2-mutated samples compared to ARID-WT (IFN-γ: - 0.15 vs - 0.21, p = 0.0066; T-cell: 23.5 vs - 18.5, p = 0.041). ARID2-mutated patients had improved survival compared to ARID-WT; (HR: 1.22 (95% CI 1.0-1.5), p = 0.022). No additional OS benefit was observed with anti-PD-1 therapy for ARID2 mutation compared to ARID-WT. Melanoma patients with ARID mutations exhibited higher prevalence of markers associated with ICI response, including TMB-H, and immune-related signatures. Our data also suggests improved survival outcome in patients with ARID2 mutations, irrespective of anti-PD1 therapy."

Vibrational spectroscopy is a novel technique that offers an alternative atraumatic approach, with short scan times, while providing metabolic and morphological data. This review evaluates vibrational spectroscopy for the assessment of fibrosis, with a focus on point-of-care capabilities. OVID Medline, Embase and Cochrane databases were systematically searched using PRISMA guidelines for search terms including vibrational spectroscopy, human tissue and fibrosis. Studies were stratified based on imaging modality and tissue type. Outcomes recorded included tissue type, machine learning technique, metrics for accuracy and author conclusions. Systematic review yielded 420 articles, of which 14 were relevant. Ten of these articles considered mid-infrared spectroscopy, three dealt with Raman spectroscopy and one with near-infrared spectroscopy. The metrics for detecting fibrosis were Pearson correlation coefficients ranging from 0.65-0.98; sensitivity from 76-100%; specificity from 90-99%; area under receiver operator curves from 0.83-0.98; and accuracy of 86-99%. Vibrational spectroscopy identified fibrosis in myeloproliferative neoplasms in bone, cirrhotic and hepatocellular carcinoma in liver, end-stage heart failure in cardiac tissue and following laser ablation for acne in skin. It also identified interstitial fibrosis as a predictor of early renal transplant rejection in renal tissue. Vibrational spectroscopic techniques can therefore accurately identify fibrosis in a range of human tissues. Emerging data show that it can be used to quantify, classify and provide data about the nature of fibrosis with a high degree of accuracy with potential scope for point-of-care use."

We surveyed 44 US physicians to understand their preferences and practice patterns for biomarker and ctDNA testing in their patients with melanoma. Tumor biomarker testing was often ordered in stage IIIA-IV patients. Barriers to biomarker testing include insufficient tissue (60%) and lack of insurance coverage (54%). ctDNA testing was ordered by 16-18% of physicians for stages II-IV. Reasons for not using ctDNA testing included lack of prospective data (41%), ctDNA testing used for research only (18%), and others. Physicians (≥74%) believed that ctDNA assays could help with monitoring and treatment selection throughout the disease process. Physicians consider ctDNA testing potentially valuable for clinical decision-making but cited concerns that should be addressed."

However, there are currently no commercially available MNs in medicine due to challenges in materials safety, cost-effective fabrication, and large-scale manufacturing. Herein, an approach for rapid and green fabrication of hydrogel microneedles (HMNs) based on infrared irradiation process was proposed for the first time. The optimized formulation consisted of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), which acted as cross-linked materials and pore-forming agents, respectively. The manufacturing method involved placing MNs patches under infrared irradiation at 70 °C for 2 min and annealing to obtain HMNs with excellent swelling behavior, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility. When model drugs azelaic acid (AZA) and matrine (MAT) were loaded into HMNs systems, the chemical stability of MAT was significantly improved. Ex vivo transdermal delivery experiments indicated that HMNs could achieve synchronous release of AZA and MAT, and the 24-hour percutaneous permeability rates of both drugs were 73.09 ± 0.48 % and 71.56 ± 1.23 %, respectively. In-vivo pharmacokinetic studies, HMNs administration presented dose-dependent stable blood drug concentrations for both drugs. Additionally, prominent anti-tumor efficacy and biosecurity were observed in the drug-loaded HMNs group in the pharmacodynamic evaluation. In summary, the efficient, convenient, and low-cost fabrication method based on infrared irradiation offers the possibility of mass production of drug-loaded HMNs, showing potential for industrial manufacturing development."

MCPyV-specific CD8 T cells are implicated in anti-PD-1-associated immune responses and provide a means to directly study tumor-specific T cell responses to treatment. Using mass cytometry and combinatorial tetramer staining, we find that baseline frequencies of blood MCPyV-specific cells correlated with response and survival.

Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) causes most Merkel cell carcinomas (MCCs). All patients with virus-driven MCC express MCPyV oncoproteins, facilitating identification of virus (cancer)-specific T cells. We studied MCPyV-specific T cells from 27 patients with MCC using MCPyV peptide-HLA-I multimers, 26-color flow cytometry, single-cell transcriptomics, and T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing. In a prospective clinical trial, higher circulating MCPyV-specific CD8 T cell frequency before anti-PD-1 treatment was strongly associated with 2-year recurrence-free survival (75% if detectable, 0% if undetectable, p = 0.0018; ClinicalTrial.gov: NCT02488759). Intratumorally, such T cells were typically present, but their frequency did not significantly associate with response. Circulating MCPyV-specific CD8 T cells had increased stem/memory and decreased exhaustion signatures relative to their intratumoral counterparts. These results suggest that cancer-specific CD8 T cells in the blood may play a role in anti-PD-1 responses.

This connection extends to the gut-brain-skin axis, linking gut microbiota to skin health. Recent studies have underscored the potential of probiotics and prebiotics to modulate gut microbiota, supported by in vivo and clinical investigations. In this comprehensive review, we explore the immunological implications of probiotics in influencing the gut-skin axis for the treatment and prevention of skin conditions, including psoriasis, acne, diabetic ulcers, atopic dermatitis, and skin cancer. Our analysis reveals that probiotics exert their effects by modulating cytokine production, whether administered orally or topically. Probiotics bolster skin defenses through the production of antimicrobial peptides and the induction of keratinocyte differentiation and regeneration. Yet, many questions surrounding probiotics remain unanswered, necessitating further exploration of their mechanisms of action in the context of skin diseases."

Dissolving microneedle array patches (MAP) offer a promising delivery method, enhancing immunogenicity and improving accessibility through the skin's immune potential. In this study, we evaluated a microneedle array patch-based S1 subunit protein COVID-19 vaccine candidate, which comprised a bivalent formulation targeting the Wuhan and Beta variant alongside a monovalent Delta variant spike proteins in a murine model. Notably, the second boost of homologous bivalent MAP-S1(WU + Beta) induced a 15.7-fold increase in IgG endpoint titer, while the third boost of heterologous MAP-S1RS09Delta yielded a more modest 1.6-fold increase. Importantly, this study demonstrated that the administration of four doses of the MAP vaccine induced robust and long-lasting immune responses, persisting for at least 80 weeks. These immune responses encompassed various IgG isotypes and remained statistically significant for one year. Furthermore, neutralizing antibodies against multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants were generated, with comparable responses observed against the Omicron variant. Overall, these findings emphasize the potential of MAP-based vaccines as a promising strategy to combat the evolving landscape of COVID-19 and to deliver a safe and effective booster vaccine worldwide."

Evaluation of the dynamics of autophagy processes at different stages of carcinogenesis can extend our understanding of melanoma pathogenesis to develop new therapeutic approaches. We performed a comparative study of tumor cell autophagy in stages II and III human skin melanoma. Tumor cells were characterized by high content of structures associated with autophagy (autophagosomes and autolysosomes). In stage III melanoma characterized by the presence of regional metastases in the lymph nodes, tumor cells showed higher expression of the autophagy marker protein LC3beta in comparison with stage II melanoma cells, which can indicate the involvement of autophagy processes in tumor progression and the formation of metastases in the lymph nodes."

The aims of this prospective, observational study were to describe the CT features of MCTs, to evaluate the performance of CT in detecting additional or incidental MCTs, to distinguish between cutaneous (cMCT) or subcutaneous (scMCT) MCTs, and to identify one or multiple sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) by indirect CT lymphography (ICTL). Seventy-two dogs affected by 111 MCTs were included. The recorded parameters were: shape, size, attenuation (Hounsfield units [HU]), location (cutaneous or subcutaneous), and presence of fat stranding. The SLNs were compared with the regional lymph nodes and supplementary MCTs were registered. Mast cell tumors mostly appeared with well-defined margins (89%), round/oval shape (71%), homogeneous enhancement (90%) with a mean postcontrast density of 62.0 ± 23.4 HU and associated with fat stranding (43%). Cutaneous mast cell tumors were more frequently round (P = .003), whereas scMCTs were oval (P = .011) with a larger mean maximal diameter (2.91 ± 1.57 cm vs 1.46 ± 1.28 cm, P = .002) and more feeding vessels (77% vs 39% P = .044). Compared with histopathology, CT accuracy in differentiating cMCTs and sMCTs was 57%, with an interobserver agreement of 88% (three reviewers). Indirect CT lymphography showed the SLN in 82 of 85 (97%) cases, 32% of them not corresponding to the regional node. CT showed additional or incidental MCTs in 23 of 72 (32%) dogs. In conclusion, the common CT appearance of canine cMCTs and scMCTs is reported with some statistical differences between the two categories. CT is useful in identifying clinically undetected MCTs and SLNs, although it shows low accuracy in distinguishing between cMCT and scMCT."

The scalp is one of the most frequently affected locations and is associated with a higher rate of complications, compared to other locations. In addition, it has a characteristic thickness and anatomical structure that may influence both growth pattern and treatment of primary cSCC; while clinical peripheral margins may be easily achieved during the surgery, vertical excision of the tumor is limited by the skull. Despite having a unique anatomy, current guidelines do not contemplate specific recommendations for scalp cSCC, which leads to inconsistent decision-making in multidisciplinary committees when discussing tumors with high risk factors or with close margins. This article provides specific recommendations for the management of patients with scalp cSCC, based on current evidence, as well as those aspects in which evidence is lacking, pointing out possible future lines of research. Topics addressed include epidemiology, clinical presentation and diagnosis, imaging techniques, surgical and radiation treatments, systemic therapy for advanced cases, and follow-up. The primary focus of this review is on management of primary cSCC of the scalp with localized disease, although where relevant, some points about recurrent cSCCs or advanced disease cases are also discussed."

The foundation of this therapeutic approach lies in immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). While ICIs have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in impeding the neoplastic progression of these tumours, their use may give rise to substantial toxicity, notably in the gastrointestinal domain, where ICI colitis constitutes a significant aspect. The optimal positioning of Janus kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway inhibitors in the therapeutic management of ICI colitis remains unclear. Numerous reports have highlighted notable improvements in ICI colitis through the application of pan-JAK-STAT inhibitors, with tofacitinib, in particular, reporting evident clinical remission of colitis.

+7938,skin cancer,38339357,Epidemiology of Keratinocyte Skin Cancer with a Focus on Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma.,"Keratinocyte skin cancer, consisting of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), is by far the most common cancer in white-skinned populations, with rapid increases over the last 50 years. While the age-standardized incidence rates increase worldwide, the age-standardized mortality rates are variable. The incidence rates of keratinocyte skin cancer are much higher compared to those of melanoma, and are largely attributed to the raising exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the most important causal risk factor for skin cancer. Whereas the development of BCC is mainly due to intense UV exposure during childhood and adolescence, the development of SCC is related to chronic, cumulative UV exposure over decades. Although mortality rates are relatively low, SCC is an increasing problem for healthcare services, significantly causing morbidity, especially in older age groups. This review reports on the epidemiology of keratinocyte skin cancer, with a focus on SCC, in Australia, the United States, and the north of Europe, with an outlook on further challenges health systems will be confronted with in the next 20 years."

Evidence has been growing more recently on the toxic synergy between light and pollutants. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) originate from the incomplete combustion of organic matter. Some PAHs, such as the Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), absorb ultraviolet A (UVA) wavelengths and can act as exogenous chromophores, leading to synergistic toxicity through DNA damage and cytotoxicity concomitant to ROS formation. In this study, we shed light on the mechanism underlying the toxic synergy between PAHs and UVA. Using dermal fibroblasts co-exposed to UVA and BaP, we have demonstrated that the photosensitization reaction causes mortality, which is most likely caused by ROS accumulation. We have shown that these ROS are concentrated in the lipids, which causes an important induction of lipid peroxidation and malondialdehyde, by-products of lipid peroxidation. We have also shown the accumulation of bulky DNA damage, most likely generated by these by-products of lipid peroxidation. To our knowledge, this study represents the first one depicting the molecular effects of photo-pollution on dermal skin."

Despite its significance, the advancement of therapeutic strategies for hair luster enhancement have been limited due to the absence of an effective experimental model. This study aimed to establish a novel animal model to assess hair gloss, employing ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on C57BL/6 mice. Specifically, UVB irradiation was meticulously applied to the shaved skin of these mice, simulating conditions that typically lead to hair luster loss in humans. The regrowth and characteristics of the hair were evaluated using a dual approach: an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) scale for subjective assessment and an image-based pixel-count method for objective quantification. These methods provided a comprehensive understanding of the changes in hair quality post-irradiation. To explore the potential reversibility of hair luster changes, oral minoxidil was administered, a treatment known for its effects on hair growth and texture. Further, to gain insights into the underlying biological mechanisms, bulk RNA transcriptomic analysis of skin tissue was conducted. This analysis revealed significant alterations in the expression of keratin-associated protein (KRTAP) genes, suggesting modifications in hair keratin crosslinking due to UV exposure. These changes are crucial in understanding the molecular dynamics affecting hair luster. The development of this new mouse model is a significant advancement in hair care research. It not only facilitates the evaluation of hair luster in a controlled setting but also opens avenues for the research and development of innovative therapeutic strategies. This model holds promise for the formulation of more effective hair care products and treatments, potentially revolutionizing the approach towards managing and enhancing hair luster."

Environmental factors and lifestyle choices can accelerate skin aging, causing issues like inflammation, wrinkles, elasticity loss, hyperpigmentation, and dryness. The skincare industry is innovating to meet consumers' requests for cleaner and natural options. Simultaneously, environmental issues concerning waste generation have been leading to sustainable strategies based on the circular economy. A noteworthy solution consists of citrus by-product valorization, as such by-products can be used as a source of bioactive molecules. Citrus processing, particularly, generates substantial waste amounts (around 50% of the whole fruit), causing unprecedented environmental burdens. Hesperidin, a flavonoid abundant in orange peels, is considered to hold immense potential for clean skin health product applications due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticarcinogenic properties. This review explores hesperidin extraction and purification methodologies as well as key skincare application areas: (i) antiaging and skin barrier enhancement, (ii) UV radiation-induced damage, (iii) hyperpigmentation and depigmentation conditions, (iv) wound healing, and (v) skin cancer and other cutaneous diseases. This work's novelty lies in the comprehensive coverage of hesperidin's promising skincare applications while also demonstrating its potential as a sustainable ingredient from a circular economy approach."

Because of the low survival rate and the lack of a standard treatment protocol related to this condition, the investigation of the mechanisms underlying melanoma progression is crucial to achieve advancements in the relevant gynecological surgery and treatment. Mitochondrial transfer between adjacent cells in the tumor microenvironment regulates tumor progression. This study investigated the effects of endothelial mitochondria on the growth of melanoma cells and the activation of specific signal transduction pathways following mitochondrial transplantation. Mitochondria were isolated from endothelial cells (ECs) and transplanted into B16F10 melanoma cells, resulting in the upregulation of proteins associated with tumor growth. Furthermore, enhanced antioxidation and mitochondrial homeostasis mediated by the Sirt1-PGC-1α-Nrf2-HO-1 pathway were observed, along with the inhibition of apoptotic protein caspase-3. Finally, the transplantation of endothelial mitochondria into B16F10 cells promoted tumor growth and increased M2-type macrophages through Nrf2/HO-1-mediated pathways in a xenograft animal model. In summary, the introduction of exogenous mitochondria from ECs into melanoma cells promoted tumor growth, indicating the role of mitochondrial transfer by stromal cells in modulating a tumor's phenotype. These results provide valuable insights into the role of mitochondrial transfer and provide potential targets for gynecological melanoma treatment."
+7947,skin cancer,38339073,Machine Learning Methods for Gene Selection in Uveal Melanoma.,"Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular malignancy with a limited five-year survival for metastatic patients. Limited therapeutic treatments are currently available for metastatic disease, even if the genomics of this tumor has been deeply studied using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and functional experiments. The profound knowledge of the molecular features that characterize this tumor has not led to the development of efficacious therapies, and the survival of metastatic patients has not changed for decades. Several bioinformatics methods have been applied to mine NGS tumor data in order to unveil tumor biology and detect possible molecular targets for new therapies. Each application can be single domain based while others are more focused on data integration from multiple genomics domains (as gene expression and methylation data). Examples of single domain approaches include differentially expressed gene (DEG) analysis on gene expression data with statistical methods such as SAM (significance analysis of microarray) or gene prioritization with complex algorithms such as deep learning. Data fusion or integration methods merge multiple domains of information to define new clusters of patients or to detect relevant genes, according to multiple NGS data. In this work, we compare different strategies to detect relevant genes for metastatic disease prediction in the TCGA uveal melanoma (UVM) dataset. Detected targets are validated with multi-gene score analysis on a larger UM microarray dataset."

The goal of this review is to provide scientific rationale to highlight the potential role of metabolic imaging to assess response to targeted and/or immune therapy in melanoma cancer. For that purpose, a brief overview of current melanoma treatments is provided. Then, current knowledge with respect to melanoma metabolism is described with an emphasis on major crosstalks between melanoma cell metabolism and signaling pathways involved in BRAF-targeted therapy as well as in immune checkpoint inhibition therapies.

A variant of ATM, Ser49Cys (rs1800054; minor allele frequency = 0.011), has been associated with an elevated risk of melanoma development; however, the functional consequence of this variant is not defined. ATM-dependent signalling in response to DNA damage has been assessed in a panel of patient-derived lymphoblastoid lines and primary human melanocytic cell strains heterozygous for the ATM Ser49Cys variant allele. The ATM Ser49Cys allele appears functional for acute p53-dependent signalling in response to DNA damage. Expression of the variant allele did reduce the efficacy of oncogene expression in inducing senescence. These findings demonstrate that the "

We investigated three antiretrovirals-lamivudine, doravirine, and cabotegravir-in A375, FO-1, and SK-Mel-28, BRAF-mutated, and in MeWo, P53-mutated, melanoma cell lines. The findings indicate a general capability of these drugs to downregulate the expression of HERV-K Pol and Env genes and hinder cell viability, mobility, and colony formation capacity of melanoma cells. The antiretroviral drugs also demonstrate selectivity against malignant cells, sparing normal human epithelial melanocytes. The study reveals that the integrase inhibitor cabotegravir is particularly effective in inhibiting cell growth and invasion across different cell lines in comparison with lamivudine and doravirine, which are inhibitors of the viral reverse transcriptase enzyme. The investigation further delves into the molecular mechanisms underlying the observed effects, highlighting the potential induction of ferroptosis, apoptosis, and alterations in cell cycle regulatory proteins. Our findings showed cytostatic effects principally revealed in A375, and SK-Mel-28 cell lines through a downregulation of retinoblastoma protein phosphorylation and/or cyclin D1 expression. Signs of ferroptosis were detected in both A375 cells and FO-1 cells by a decrease in glutathione peroxidase 4 and ferritin expression, as well as by an increase in transferrin protein levels. Apoptosis was also detected in FO-1 and SK-Mel-28, but only with cabotegravir treatment. Moreover, we explored the expression and activity of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) protein and its correlation with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. Both the STING activity and PD-L1 expression were decreased, suggesting that the antiretroviral treatments may counteract the detrimental effects of PD-L1 expression activation through the STING/interferon pathway triggered by HERV-K. Finally, this study underscores the potential therapeutic significance of cabotegravir in melanoma treatment. The findings also raise the prospect of using antiretroviral drugs to downregulate PD-L1 expression, potentially enhancing the therapeutic responses of immune checkpoint inhibitors."
+7951,skin cancer,38338862,"PRAME Updated: Diagnostic, Prognostic, and Therapeutic Role in Skin Cancer.","Preferentially Expressed Antigen in Melanoma (PRAME), a member of the cancer/testis antigen family, is central to the field of skin cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. As a nuclear receptor and transcriptional regulator, PRAME plays a critical role in inhibiting retinoic acid signalling, which is essential for cell differentiation and proliferation. Its aberrant overexpression in various malignancies, particularly cutaneous melanoma, is associated with more aggressive tumour phenotypes, positioning PRAME as both a diagnostic and prognostic marker. In melanoma, PRAME is typically highly expressed, in contrast to its weak or absent expression in benign nevi, thereby improving the accuracy of differential diagnoses. The diagnostic value of PRAME extends to various lesions. It is significantly expressed in uveal melanoma, correlating to an increased risk of metastasis. In acral melanomas, especially those with histopathological ambiguity, PRAME helps to improve diagnostic accuracy. However, its expression in spitzoid and ungual melanocytic lesions is inconsistent and requires a comprehensive approach for an accurate assessment. In soft tissue sarcomas, PRAME may be particularly helpful in differentiating melanoma from clear cell sarcoma, an important distinction due to their similar histological appearance but different treatment approaches and prognosis, or in detecting dedifferentiated and undifferentiated melanomas. In non-melanoma skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and Merkel cell carcinoma, the variable expression of PRAME can lead to diagnostic complexity. Despite these challenges, the potential of PRAME as a therapeutic target in melanoma is significant. Emerging immunotherapies, including T-cell-based therapies and vaccines targeting PRAME, are being investigated to exploit its cancer-specific expression. Ongoing research into the molecular role and mechanism of action of PRAME in skin cancer continues to open new avenues in both diagnostics and therapeutics, with the potential to transform the management of melanoma and related skin cancers."

Traditional procedures for diagnosing skin cancer are expensive, time-intensive, and necessitate the expertise of a medical practitioner. In recent years, many researchers have developed artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including shallow and deep machine learning-based approaches, to diagnose skin cancer. However, AI-based skin cancer diagnosis faces challenges in complexity, low reproducibility, and explainability. To address these problems, we propose a novel Grid-Based Structural and Dimensional Explainable Deep Convolutional Neural Network for accurate and interpretable skin cancer classification. This model employs adaptive thresholding for extracting the region of interest (ROI), using its dynamic capabilities to enhance the accuracy of identifying cancerous regions. The VGG-16 architecture extracts the hierarchical characteristics of skin lesion images, leveraging its recognized capabilities for deep feature extraction. Our proposed model leverages a grid structure to capture spatial relationships within lesions, while the dimensional features extract relevant information from various image channels. An Adaptive Intelligent Coney Optimization (AICO) algorithm is employed for self-feature selected optimization and fine-tuning the hyperparameters, which dynamically adapts the model architecture to optimize feature extraction and classification. The model was trained and tested using the ISIC dataset of 10,015 dermascope images and the MNIST dataset of 2357 images of malignant and benign oncological diseases. The experimental results demonstrated that the model achieved accuracy and CSI values of 0.96 and 0.97 for TP 80 using the ISIC dataset, which is 17.70% and 16.49% more than lightweight CNN, 20.83% and 19.59% more than DenseNet, 18.75% and 17.53% more than CNN, 6.25% and 6.18% more than Efficient Net-B0, 5.21% and 5.15% over ECNN, 2.08% and 2.06% over COA-CAN, and 5.21% and 5.15% more than ARO-ECNN. Additionally, the AICO self-feature selected ECNN model exhibited minimal FPR and FNR of 0.03 and 0.02, respectively. The model attained a loss of 0.09 for ISIC and 0.18 for the MNIST dataset, indicating that the model proposed in this research outperforms existing techniques. The proposed model improves accuracy, interpretability, and robustness for skin cancer classification, ultimately aiding clinicians in early diagnosis and treatment."

One of these in vivo assays is based on the separate injection of each cell type to be used in the clinical trial. However, the injection method requires many animals and several months to obtain useful results. In previous studies, we showed the potential of tissue-engineered skin substitutes (TESs) as a model for normal skin in which cancer cells can be included in vitro. Herein, we showed a new method to study tumorigenicity, using cancer spheroids that were embedded in TESs (cTES) and grafted onto athymic mice, and compared it with the commonly used cell injection assay. Tumors developed in both models, cancer cell injection and cTES grafting, but metastases were not detected at the time of sacrifice. Interestingly, the rate of tumor development was faster in cTESs than with the injection method. In conclusion, grafting TESs is a sensitive method to detect tumor cell growth with and could be developed as an alternative test for tumorigenicity."

This malignancy progresses rapidly, with frequent relapses and a poor overall survival rate, underscoring the urgent need for effective treatments. However, diagnosing and treating BPDCN have historically been challenging due to its rarity and the lack of standardized approaches. The recognition of BPDCN as a distinct disease entity is recent, and standardized treatment protocols are yet to be established. Traditionally, conventional chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation have been the primary methods for treating BPDCN patients. Advances in immunophenotyping and molecular profiling have identified potential therapeutic targets, leading to a shift toward CD123-targeted immunotherapies in both clinical and research settings. Ongoing developments with SL-401, IMGN632, CD123 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells, and bispecific antibodies (BsAb) show promising advancements. However, the therapeutic effectiveness of CD123-targeting treatments needs improvement through innovative approaches and combinations of treatments with other anti-leukemic drugs. The exploration of combinations such as CD123-targeted immunotherapies with azacitidine and venetoclax is suggested to enhance antineoplastic responses and improve survival rates in BPDCN patients. In conclusion, this multifaceted approach offers hope for more effective and tailored therapeutic interventions against this challenging hematologic malignancy."

Among SFKs, YES1 is frequently amplified and overexpressed in a variety of human tumors, including lung, breast, ovarian, and skin cancers. YES1 plays a pivotal role in promoting cell proliferation, survival, and invasiveness during tumor development. Recent findings indicate that YES1 expression and activation are associated with resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs and tyrosine kinase inhibitors in human malignancies. YES1 undergoes post-translational modifications, such as lipidation and nitrosylation, which can modulate its catalytic activity, subcellular localization, and binding affinity for substrate proteins.

+7957,skin cancer,38338710,Skin Protection by Carotenoid Pigments.,"Sunlight, despite its benefits, can pose a threat to the skin, which is a natural protective barrier. Phototoxicity caused by overexposure, especially to ultraviolet radiation (UVR), results in burns, accelerates photoaging, and causes skin cancer formation. Natural substances of plant origin, i.e., polyphenols, flavonoids, and photosynthetic pigments, can protect the skin against the effects of radiation, acting not only as photoprotectors like natural filters but as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory remedies, alleviating the effects of photodamage to the skin. Plant-based formulations are gaining popularity as an attractive alternative to synthetic filters. Over the past 20 years, a large number of studies have been published to assess the photoprotective effects of natural plant products, primarily through their antioxidant, antimutagenic, and anti-immunosuppressive activities. This review selects the most important data on skin photodamage and photoprotective efficacy of selected plant carotenoid representatives from in vivo studies on animal models and humans, as well as in vitro experiments performed on fibroblast and keratinocyte cell lines. Recent research on carotenoids associated with lipid nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, liposomes, and micelles is reviewed. The focus was on collecting those nanomaterials that serve to improve the bioavailability and stability of carotenoids as natural antioxidants with photoprotective activity."

Diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis (DCM) is a rare and most severe form of cutaneous mastocytosis, which typically occurs in childhood. There have been reports of a familial DCM with specific gene mutations, indicating both sporadic and hereditary factors involved in its pathogenesis. DCM is associated with severe MC mediator-related symptoms and an increased risk of anaphylaxis. The diagnosis is based on the appearance of skin lesions, which typically show generalized thickening, erythroderma, blistering dermographism, and a positive Darier's sign. Recognition, particularly in infants, is challenging due to DCMs resemblance to other bullous skin disorders. Therefore, in unclear cases, a skin biopsy is crucial. Treatment focuses on symptom management, mainly including antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers. In extremely severe cases, systemic steroids, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, phototherapy, or omalizumab may be considered. Patients should be equipped with an adrenaline autoinjector. Herein, we conducted a comprehensive review of literature data on DCM since 1962, which could help to better understand both the management and prognosis of DCM, which depends on the severity of skin lesions, intensity of mediator-related symptoms, presence of anaphylaxis, and treatment response."

In connection with this, there is a necessity for alternative approaches characterized by increased tolerance and lower side effects. Natural compounds could be employed due to their safety profile and effectiveness for inflammatory and neoplastic skin diseases. These anti-cancer drugs are often derived from natural sources such as marine, zoonotic, and botanical origins. Natural compounds should exhibit anti-carcinogenic actions through various pathways, influencing apoptosis potentiation, cell proliferation inhibition, and metastasis suppression. This review provides an overview of natural compounds used in cancer chemotherapies, chemoprevention, and promotion of skin regeneration, including polyphenolic compounds, flavonoids, vitamins, alkaloids, terpenoids, isothiocyanates, cannabinoids, carotenoids, and ceramides."
+7961,skin cancer,38338464,The Role of the PTEN Tumor Suppressor Gene and Its Anti-Angiogenic Activity in Melanoma and Other Cancers.,"Human malignant melanoma and other solid cancers are largely driven by the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes and angiogenesis. Conventional treatments for cancer (surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy) are employed as first-line treatments for solid cancers but are often ineffective as monotherapies due to resistance and toxicity. Thus, targeted therapies, such as bevacizumab, which targets vascular endothelial growth factor, have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as angiogenesis inhibitors. The downregulation of the tumor suppressor, phosphatase tensin homolog (PTEN), occurs in 30-40% of human malignant melanomas, thereby elucidating the importance of the upregulation of PTEN activity. Phosphatase tensin homolog (PTEN) is modulated at the transcriptional, translational, and post-translational levels and regulates key signaling pathways such as the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, which also drive angiogenesis. This review discusses the inhibition of angiogenesis through the upregulation of PTEN and the inhibition of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1-α) in human malignant melanoma, as no targeted therapies have been approved by the FDA for the inhibition of angiogenesis in human malignant melanoma. The emergence of nanocarrier formulations to enhance the pharmacokinetic profile of phytochemicals that upregulate PTEN activity and improve the upregulation of PTEN has also been discussed."

Oral photoprotection aims to reduce incidence rates through oral intake of photoprotective compounds. Recently, drug repurposing has gained traction as an interesting source of chemoprevention. Because of their reported photoprotective properties, we investigated the potential of bucillamine, carvedilol, metformin, and phenformin as photoprotective compounds following oral intake in UVR-exposed hairless mice. Tumour development was observed in all groups in response to UVR, with only the positive control (Nicotinamide) demonstrating a reduction in tumour incidence (23.8%). No change in tumour development was observed in the four repurposed drug groups compared to the UV control group, whereas nicotinamide significantly reduced carcinogenesis (P = 0.00012). Metformin treatment significantly reduced UVR-induced erythema (P = 0.012), bucillamine and phenformin increased dorsal pigmentation (P = 0.0013, and P = 0.0005), but no other photoprotective effect was observed across the repurposed groups.

+7969,skin cancer,38337057,Mitochondrial outer membrane integrity regulates a ubiquitin-dependent and NF-κB-mediated inflammatory response.,"Mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilisation (MOMP) is often essential for apoptosis, by enabling cytochrome c release that leads to caspase activation and rapid cell death. Recently, MOMP has been shown to be inherently pro-inflammatory with emerging cellular roles, including its ability to elicit anti-tumour immunity. Nonetheless, how MOMP triggers inflammation and how the cell regulates this remains poorly defined. We find that upon MOMP, many proteins localised either to inner or outer mitochondrial membranes are ubiquitylated in a promiscuous manner. This extensive ubiquitylation serves to recruit the essential adaptor molecule NEMO, leading to the activation of pro-inflammatory NF-κB signalling. We show that disruption of mitochondrial outer membrane integrity through different means leads to the engagement of a similar pro-inflammatory signalling platform. Therefore, mitochondrial integrity directly controls inflammation, such that permeabilised mitochondria initiate NF-κB signalling."
+7970,skin cancer,38336988,Simultaneous inhibition of PI3K and PAK in preclinical models of neurofibromatosis type 2-related schwannomatosis.,"Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2)-related schwannomatosis is a genetic disorder that causes development of multiple types of nervous system tumors. The primary and diagnostic tumor type is bilateral vestibular schwannoma. There is no cure or drug therapy for NF2. Recommended treatments include surgical resection and radiation, both of which can leave patients with severe neurological deficits or increase the risk of future malignant tumors. Results of our previous pilot high-throughput drug screen identified phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors as strong candidates based on loss of viability of mouse merlin-deficient Schwann cells (MD-SCs). Here we used novel human schwannoma model cells to conduct combination drug screens. We identified a class I PI3K inhibitor, pictilisib and p21 activated kinase (PAK) inhibitor, PF-3758309 as the top combination due to high synergy in cell viability assays. Both single and combination therapies significantly reduced growth of mouse MD-SCs in an orthotopic allograft mouse model. The inhibitor combination promoted cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in mouse merlin-deficient Schwann (MD-SCs) cells and cell cycle arrest in human MD-SCs. This study identifies the PI3K and PAK pathways as potential targets for combination drug treatment of NF2-related schwannomatosis."
+7971,skin cancer,38336975,CAR-T cell therapy targeting surface expression of TYRP1 to treat cutaneous and rare melanoma subtypes.,"A major limitation to developing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies for solid tumors is identifying surface proteins highly expressed in tumors but not in normal tissues. Here, we identify Tyrosinase Related Protein 1 (TYRP1) as a CAR-T cell therapy target to treat patients with cutaneous and rare melanoma subtypes unresponsive to immune checkpoint blockade. TYRP1 is primarily located intracellularly in the melanosomes, with a small fraction being trafficked to the cell surface via vesicular transport. We develop a highly sensitive CAR-T cell therapy that detects surface TYRP1 in tumor cells with high TYRP1 overexpression and presents antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo in murine and patient-derived cutaneous, acral and uveal melanoma models. Furthermore, no systemic or off-tumor severe toxicities are observed in an immunocompetent murine model. The efficacy and safety profile of the TYRP1 CAR-T cell therapy supports the ongoing preparation of a phase I clinical trial."

The treatment of advanced melanoma, particularly metastatic cases, remains challenging with poor outcomes. Targeted therapies involving BRAF/MEK inhibitors and immunotherapy based on anti-PD1/anti-CTLA4 antibodies have achieved long-term survival rates of approximately 50% for patients with advanced melanoma. However, therapy resistance and inadequate treatment response continue to hinder further breakthroughs in treatments that increase survival rates. This review provides an introduction to the molecular-level pathogenesis of melanoma and offers an overview of current treatment options and their limitations. Cells can die by either accidental or regulated cell death (RCD). RCD is an orderly cell death controlled by a variety of macromolecules to maintain the stability of the internal environment. Since the uncontrolled proliferation of tumor cells requires evasion of RCD programs, inducing the RCD of melanoma cells may be a treatment strategy. This review summarizes studies on various types of nonapoptotic RCDs, such as autophagy-dependent cell death, necroptosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, and the recently discovered cuproptosis, in the context of melanoma. The relationships between these RCDs and melanoma are examined, and the interplay between these RCDs and immunotherapy or targeted therapy in patients with melanoma is discussed. Given the findings demonstrating melanoma cell death in response to different stimuli associated with these RCDs, the induction of RCD shows promise as an integral component of treatment strategies for melanoma."

The prevailing paradigm holds that a reduced frequency and function of natural killer (NK) cell contributes to AD pathogenesis, yet the underlying mechanisms and contributions of NK cells to allergic comorbidities remain ill-defined. Here, analysis of circulating NK cells in a longitudinal early life cohort of children with AD revealed a progressive accumulation of NK cells with low expression of the activating receptor NKG2D, which was linked to more severe AD and sensitivity to allergens. This was most notable in children co-sensitized to food and aeroallergens, a risk factor for development of asthma. Individual-level longitudinal analysis in a subset of children revealed coincident reduction of NKG2D on NK cells with acquired or persistent sensitization, and this was associated with impaired skin barrier function assessed by transepidermal water loss. Low expression of NKG2D on NK cells was paradoxically associated with depressed cytolytic function but exaggerated release of the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α. These observations provide important insights into a potential mechanism underlying the development of allergic comorbidity in early life in children with AD, which involves altered NK cell functional responses, and define an endotype of severe AD."

Despite this potential, they have not often been investigated for practical differentiation between cancerous and healthy cells. The present methodology relies mainly on refractive index sensing, while factors of transmission magnitude and Q-factor offer significant information about the tumors. To address this limitation and improve sensitivity, we fabricated a THz EIT-like metasurface based on asymmetric resonators on an ultra-thin and flexible dielectric substrate. Bright-dark modes coupling at 1.96 THz was experimentally verified, and numerical results and theoretical analysis were presented. An enhanced theoretical sensitivity of 550 GHz/RIU was achieved for a sample with a thickness of 13 µm due to the ultra-thin substrate and novel design. A two-layer skin model was generated whereby keratinocyte cell lines were cultured on a base of collagen.

Searching for molecules critical for multiple cell types in the TME, we identified NR4A1 as one such molecule that can maintain the immune suppressive TME. Here, we establish NR4A1 as a valid target for cancer immunotherapy and describe a first-of-its-kind proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC, named NR-V04) against NR4A1. NR-V04 degrades NR4A1 within hours in vitro and exhibits long-lasting NR4A1 degradation in tumors with an excellent safety profile. NR-V04 inhibits and frequently eradicates established tumors. At the mechanistic level, NR-V04 induces the tumor-infiltrating (TI) B cells and effector memory CD8+ T (Tem) cells and reduces monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (m-MDSC), all of which are known to be clinically relevant immune cell populations in human melanomas.

Although non-affected skin from these patients is a more appropriate choice for comparison, there is a paucity of studies examining such tissue. This lack is exacerbated by the difficulty of processing skin tissue for experimental analysis. In addition, choosing a processing protocol for skin tissue which preserves cell viability and identity while sufficiently dissociating cells for single-cell analysis is not a trivial task. Here, we compare three digestion methods for human skin tissue, evaluating the cell yield and viability for each protocol. We find that the use of a sequential dissociation method with multiple enzymatic digestion steps produces the highest cell viability. Using single-cell sequencing, we show this method results in a relative increase in the proportion of non-antigen-presenting mast cells and CD8 T cells as well as a relative decrease in the proportion of antigen-presenting mast cells and KYNU"

The World Health Organization (WHO) redefined BDCN as a distinct disease entity in 2016. BPDCN arises from plasmacytoid dendritic cells, manifesting primarily in the skin, bone marrow, and lymph nodes, occasionally involving the central nervous system (CNS). This presents challenges in diagnosis and treatment, with CNS involvement often overlooked in standard diagnostic workups due to BPDCN's rarity and patients often being neurologically asymptomatic at diagnosis. CNS involvement typically emerges during relapse, yet clinical trials often exclude such cases, limiting our understanding of its development and treatment. Treatment options for CNS involvement include intrathecal (IT) chemotherapies like methotrexate and cytarabine, often in combination with systemic agents. Tagraxofusp and traditional regimens for acute myeloid leukemia show limited success at preventing CNS relapse, prompting exploration of combined therapies like hyperfractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone (HyperCVAD) with venetoclax and adding IT chemotherapy to other backbones. Ongoing clinical trials investigating emerging therapies offer hope despite limited focus on CNS implications. Trials incorporating CNS-involved patients aim to pioneer novel treatment approaches, potentially reshaping BPDCN management.

+7990,skin cancer,38334632,CD133-Dependent Activation of Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase /AKT/Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Signaling in Melanoma Progression and Drug Resistance.,"Melanoma frequently harbors genetic alterations in key molecules leading to the aberrant activation of PI3K and its downstream pathways. Although the role of PI3K/AKT/mTOR in melanoma progression and drug resistance is well documented, targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway showed less efficiency in clinical trials than might have been expected, since the suppression of the PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway-induced feedback loops is mostly associated with the activation of compensatory pathways such as MAPK/MEK/ERK. Consequently, the development of intrinsic and acquired resistance can occur. As a solid tumor, melanoma is notorious for its heterogeneity. This can be expressed in the form of genetically divergent subpopulations including a small fraction of cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) and non-cancer stem cells (non-CSCs) that make the most of the tumor mass. Like other CSCs, melanoma stem-like cells (MSCs) are characterized by their unique cell surface proteins/stemness markers and aberrant signaling pathways. In addition to its function as a robust marker for stemness properties, CD133 is crucial for the maintenance of stemness properties and drug resistance. Herein, the role of CD133-dependent activation of PI3K/mTOR in the regulation of melanoma progression, drug resistance, and recurrence is reviewed."

Under physiological conditions, endogenous dsRNA is maintained in the cell nucleus or the mitochondria; however, if protective mechanisms are breached, it leaches into the cytoplasm and triggers immune signaling pathways. Ectopic activation of innate immune pathways is associated with various diseases and senescence and can trigger apoptosis. Hereby, the level of cytoplasmic dsRNA is crucial. We have enriched dsRNA from two melanoma cell lines and primary dermal fibroblasts, including a competing probe, and analyzed the dsRNA transcriptome using RNA sequencing. There was a striking difference in read counts between the cell lines and the primary cells, and the effect was confirmed by northern blotting and immunocytochemistry. Both mitochondria (10-20%) and nuclear transcription (80-90%) contributed significantly to the dsRNA transcriptome. The mitochondrial contribution was lower in the cancer cells compared to fibroblasts. The expression of different transposable element families was comparable, suggesting a general up-regulation of transposable element expression rather than stimulation of a specific sub-family. Sequencing of the input control revealed minor differences in dsRNA processing pathways with an upregulation of oligoadenylate synthase and RNP125 that negatively regulates the dsRNA sensors RIG1 and MDA5. Moreover, RT-qPCR, Western blotting, and immunocytochemistry confirmed the relatively minor adaptations to the hugely different dsRNA levels. As a consequence, these transformed cell lines are potentially less tolerant to interventions that increase the formation of endogenous dsRNA."

This study is a multicenter, retrospective analysis. We included 114 patients with stage III or IV acral malignant melanoma who underwent surgery within the past 10 years. We analyzed the effect of adjuvant programmed cell death protein-1 inhibitors on disease-free survival (DFS). The mean follow-up was 40 months, during which 69 (59.5%) patients experienced recurrence. Among the participants, 64 (56.1%) received systemic adjuvant therapy. Specifically, 48.4% received anti-PD-1 therapy, 29.7% received interferon, 14.1% received tezozolomide, and 7.8% received B-Raf proto-oncogene/mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors. Patients who received adjuvant therapy had a median DFS of 24 (10.9-37.2) months, whereas those who did not receive adjuvant therapy had a median DFS of 15 (9.8-20.2) months. Multivariate analysis for DFS revealed that the receipt of adjuvant therapy and lymph node metastasis stage were independent significant parameters ( P = 0.021, P = 0.018, respectively). No statistically significant difference was observed for DFS between programmed cell death protein-1 inhibitor treatment and other adjuvant treatments. Regarding overall survival (OS), patients who received adjuvant treatment had a median OS of 71 (30.4-111.7) months, whereas those who did not receive adjuvant treatment had a median OS of 38 (16.7-59.3; P = 0.023) months. In addition, there were no significant differences in OS observed between various adjuvant treatment agents ( P = 0.122). In our study, we have shown that adjuvant therapy had a positive effect on both DFS and OS in patients with stages III-IV acral melanoma who underwent curative intent surgery.

Dyshematopoiesis is a frequent finding in chronic inflammatory conditions and therefore, cytopenias are not easily classified in VEXAS patients. Here we report a series of 7 patients affected by VEXAS associated cytopenias, treated at our center. The use of NGS, together with morphological assays, integrated with the WHO 2022 criteria, allowed to identify three subsets of VEXAS associated cytopenias: ICUS (idiopathic cytopenia of uncertain significance), CCUS (clonal cytopenia of uncertain significance) at high risk of clonal evolution, and MDS. This approach could help to better understand the nature of VEXAS associated cytopenias and to guide the use of specific targeted treatments in order to achieve long lasting responses."

PDT induces apoptosis and necrosis in AKs and cSCC. 5-ALA blue light PDT may modulate gene expression and pathways in surviving cells. In this study, differential gene expression and pathway analysis of cSCC and human dermal fibroblasts were compared before and after 5-ALA blue light PDT using RNA sequencing. No genes were differentially expressed after correcting for multiple testing (false discovery rate < 0.05). As a result, transcription factor, gene enrichment, and pathway analysis were performed with genes identified before multiple testing (p < 0.05). Pathways associated with proliferation and carcinogenesis were downregulated. These findings using 5-ALA blue light PDT are similar to previously published studies using methyl-aminolevulinic and red light protocols, indicating that surviving residual cells may undergo changes consistent with a less aggressive cancerous phenotype."

We aimed to investigate systemic inflammation in MF patients and its potential connection to pruritus. In this retrospective study, demographic characteristics, MF stage, clinical and laboratory findings, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and pan-immune inflammation value (PIV) were assessed for all participants. Additionally, mSWAT scores, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), and pruritus presence and intensity via Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scoring were recorded for MF patients. A total of 81 patients with early-stage MF and 50 controls were enrolled. Itching was present in 41 patients (50.6%). NLR, PLR, SII, SIRI and CRP values in the MF group were significantly higher. CRP, NLR, mSWAT and DLQI score were significantly higher in MF patients with pruritus than those without. Pruritus was positively correlated with DLQI, mSWAT, CRP, NLR, MLR and SIRI. VAS score was positively correlated with eosinophil count and DLQI. In the multivariate logistic regression model, only NLR was an independent and significant associate of pruritus in patients with MF. This study provides evidence of enhanced systemic inflammation in early-stage MF patients. Additionally, the correlation between pruritus with mSWAT scores and systemic inflammation parameters suggests a potential link between pruritus and the inflammatory milieu in MF."

+8009,skin cancer,38332404,Basal Cell Carcinoma Diagnosis with Fusion of Deep Learning and Telangiectasia Features.,"In recent years, deep learning (DL) has been used extensively and successfully to diagnose different cancers in dermoscopic images. However, most approaches lack clinical inputs supported by dermatologists that could aid in higher accuracy and explainability. To dermatologists, the presence of telangiectasia, or narrow blood vessels that typically appear serpiginous or arborizing, is a critical indicator of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Exploiting the feature information present in telangiectasia through a combination of DL-based techniques could create a pathway for both, improving DL results as well as aiding dermatologists in BCC diagnosis. This study demonstrates a novel ""fusion"" technique for BCC vs non-BCC classification using ensemble learning on a combination of (a) handcrafted features from semantically segmented telangiectasia (U-Net-based) and (b) deep learning features generated from whole lesion images (EfficientNet-B5-based). This fusion method achieves a binary classification accuracy of 97.2%, with a 1.3% improvement over the corresponding DL-only model, on a holdout test set of 395 images. An increase of 3.7% in sensitivity, 1.5% in specificity, and 1.5% in precision along with an AUC of 0.99 was also achieved. Metric improvements were demonstrated in three stages: (1) the addition of handcrafted telangiectasia features to deep learning features, (2) including areas near telangiectasia (surround areas), (3) discarding the noisy lower-importance features through feature importance. Another novel approach to feature finding with weak annotations through the examination of the surrounding areas of telangiectasia is offered in this study. The experimental results show state-of-the-art accuracy and precision in the diagnosis of BCC, compared to three benchmark techniques. Further exploration of deep learning techniques for individual dermoscopy feature detection is warranted."
+8010,skin cancer,38331847,Saracatinib inhibits necroptosis and ameliorates psoriatic inflammation by targeting MLKL.,"Necroptosis is a kind of programmed cell death that causes the release of damage-associated molecular patterns and inflammatory disease including skin inflammation. Activation of receptor-interacting serine/threonine kinase 1 (RIPK1), RIPK3, and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) is the hallmark of tumour necrosis factor α (TNF)-induced necroptosis. Here, we screened a small-molecule compound library and found that saracatinib inhibited TNF-induced necroptosis. By targeting MLKL, Saracatinib interfered with the phosphorylation, translocation, and oligomerization of MLKL induced by TNF. Consistently, mutation of the saracatinib-binding site of MLKL reduced the inhibitory effect of saracatinib on TNF-induced necroptosis. In an imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis mouse model, saracatinib effectively blocked MLKL phosphorylation and inflammatory responses in vivo. Taken together, these findings indicate that saracatinib inhibits necroptosis by targeting MLKL, providing a potential therapeutic approach for skin inflammation-related diseases such as psoriasis."

In this workflow, Ki67 is combined with the melanocytic tumour-cell marker SOX10 in a Ki67/SOX10 double nuclear stain. The Ki67-index is then quantified automatically using digital image analysis (DIA). The aim of this study was to optimise and test three different multiplexing methods for Ki67/SOX10 double nuclear staining."
+8019,skin cancer,38330493,A New Design for Forearm Skin Flaps for Areas that Do not Require Additional Grafting.,"Forearm skin flaps are widely used to reconstruct oral cancer due to their advantages, such as vascular stability, simple preparation, and a high success rate. However, traditional forearm skin flaps have shortcomings: the donor site requires grafting, which increases surgical trauma by creating a second surgical area, and the scarring at the donor site significantly affects the esthetics of the forearm. Therefore, we have designed a new ^-shaped radial forearm skin flap, in which the flap is designed as 2 semi-elliptical subunits. After the flap is harvested, these 2 subunits are joined, and the reserved skin at the donor site is directly sutured to the outer part of the donor site. The area of the ^-shaped radial forearm skin flap can be as large as that prepared with traditional forearm skin flaps, and there is no need for grafting at the donor site. This avoids additional trauma to the donor site after surgery, significantly reduces related complications, and enhances the esthetic outcome. This paper reports a case of a cheek cancer (carcinoma of the buccal mucosa) patient (T3N0M0), where the flap survived postoperatively, and both the surgical site and donor site healed in the first phase. The patient has no sensory or functional impairments; swallowing and speech functions are satisfactory."

With these new applications, ethical concerns have emerged. In this scoping review, we aimed to identify the applications of AI to the field of dermatology and to understand their ethical implications. We used a multifaceted search approach, searching PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar for primary literature, following the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews guidance. Our advanced query included terms related to dermatology, AI and ethical considerations. Our search yielded 202 papers. After initial screening, 68 studies were included. Thirty-two were related to clinical image analysis and raised ethical concerns for misdiagnosis, data security, privacy violations and replacement of dermatologist jobs. Seventeen discussed limited skin of colour representation in datasets leading to potential misdiagnosis in the general population. Nine articles about teledermatology raised ethical concerns, including the exacerbation of health disparities, lack of standardized regulations, informed consent for AI use and privacy challenges. Seven addressed inaccuracies in the responses of large language models. Seven examined attitudes toward and trust in AI, with most patients requesting supplemental assessment by a physician to ensure reliability and accountability. Benefits of AI integration into clinical practice include increased patient access, improved clinical decision-making, efficiency and many others. However, safeguards must be put in place to ensure the ethical application of AI."

The relationship between the microenvironment and pancreatic cancer is multifactorial, and age-related changes in nonmalignant cells in the tumor microenvironment may play a key role in promoting cancer aggressiveness. Because fibroblasts have profound impacts on pancreatic cancer progression, we investigated whether age-related changes in pancreatic fibroblasts influence cancer growth and metastasis. Proteomics analysis revealed that aged fibroblasts secrete different factors than young fibroblasts, including increased growth/differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15). Treating young mice with GDF-15 enhanced tumor growth, whereas aged GDF-15 knockout mice showed reduced tumor growth. GDF-15 activated AKT, rendering tumors sensitive to AKT inhibition in an aged but not young microenvironment. These data provide evidence for how aging alters pancreatic fibroblasts and promotes tumor progression, providing potential therapeutic targets and avenues for studying pancreatic cancer while accounting for the effects of aging."

This report presents an intriguing case of concurrent diagnoses, with clues alluding to more than one skin condition being present. The case involves a 73-year-old man with BU diagnosed on the scalp, an atypical location, which led to the consideration of malignancy, ultimately revealing concurrent SCC. This case highlights the importance of considering both conditions in patients with epidemiological risk factors, necessitating multiple lines of investigation for accurate diagnosis.

The biology of GZ17-6.02 in malignant T cells and in particular those derived from mycosis fungoides (MF) patients, has not been studied. GZ17-6.02 alone and in combination with standard-of-care agents was effective in killing MF cells. All three components are necessary for optimal killing of MF cells. GZ17-6.02 activated ATM, the AMPK, NFκB and PERK and inactivated ERK1/2, AKT, ULK1, mTORC1, eIF2α, and reduced the expression of BCL-XL and MCL1. GZ17-6.02 increased ATG13 S318 phosphorylation and the expression of Beclin1, ATG5, BAK and BIM. GZ17-6.02 in a dose-dependent fashion enhanced autophagosome formation and autophagic flux, and tumor cell killing. Signaling by ATM and AMPK were both required for efficient killing but not for the dose-response effect whereas ER stress (eIF2α) and macroautophagy (Beclin1, ATG5) were required for both efficient killing and the dose-response. Knock down of the death receptor CD95 reduced killing by ~20% and interacted with autophagy inhibition to further reduce killing, collectively, by ~70%. Inhibition of autophagy and knock down of death-mediators downstream of the mitochondrion, AIF and caspase 3, almost abolished tumor cell killing. Hence in MF cells, GZ17-6.02 is a multi-factorial killer, utilizing ER stress, macroautophagy, death receptor signaling and directly causing mitochondrial dysfunction."
+8028,skin cancer,38329690,Therapeutic Strategies in BRAF V600 Wild-Type Cutaneous Melanoma.,"There have been many recent advances in melanoma therapy. While 50% of melanomas have a BRAF mutation and are a target for BRAF inhibitors, the remaining 50% are BRAF wild-type. Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-1, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4) and lymphocyte activated gene-3 (Lag-3) are all approved for the treatment of patients with advanced BRAF wild-type melanoma; however, treatment of this patient population following initial immune checkpoint blockade is a current therapeutic challenge given the lack of other efficacious options. Here, we briefly review available US FDA-approved therapies for BRAF wild-type melanoma and focus on developing treatment avenues for this heterogeneous group of patients. We review the basics of genomic features of both BRAF mutant and BRAF wild-type melanoma as well as efforts underway to develop new targeted therapies involving the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway for patients with BRAF wild-type tumors. We then focus on novel immunotherapies, including developing checkpoint inhibitors and agonists, cytokine therapies, oncolytic viruses and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, all of which represent potential therapeutic avenues for patients with BRAF wild-type melanoma who progress on currently approved immune checkpoint inhibitors."
+8029,skin cancer,38329617,Isolation and Phenotypic Characterization of Tumor-Infiltrating NK Cells in Skin Carcinoma.,"In oncological research, the function of tumor-infiltrating natural killer (NK) cells in skin carcinoma presents a viable avenue for novel therapeutic methods. NK cells are essential to the body's defense against malignancies, including skin cancer, and are especially important in more sophisticated cancer immunotherapies such as vaccinations containing dendritic cells. The deadliest type of skin cancer, malignant melanoma, still has a poor prognosis even with advancements in early-stage therapies, which emphasizes the need for novel therapeutic strategies. NK cells from human melanoma metastases were subjected to single-cell RNA-seq analysis, which demonstrated notable variations in the transcriptional programs of tumor-infiltrating and circulating NK cells. Different transcriptional states are displayed by NK cells that have invaded tumors, indicating that they are functionally specialized in areas like chemokine production and cytotoxicity. These results emphasize the functions of NK cells in recruiting other significant immune cell types, such as cross-presenting dendritic cells, and in direct cytotoxicity against malignant cells. Investigating NK cells that infiltrate tumors in skin carcinomas presents a viable approach to comprehending and may be modifying the immune environment surrounding these cancers. It is essential to comprehend the distinct characteristics and roles of NK cells inside the tumor microenvironment in order to create more potent immunotherapeutic approaches to treat skin cancer. In order to perhaps open the door for new directions in cancer immunotherapy, the project intends to establish a thorough technique for the isolation and thorough phenotypic characterization of tumor-infiltrating NK cells in skin carcinoma."

Incidence and survival rates are key indicators for cancer surveillance. They also help to drive cancer control programs and public health policies. Focusing on the main cancer localisations, this paper describes the latest incidence (2023) and survival (2018) rates, as well as their evolutions since 1990 in metropolitan France. In 2023, the number of new cases of cancer was estimated to be 433 136, of which 57% occurring in men. Both gender considered, the most frequent cancers are: breast cancer (61 214 new cases), prostate cancer (59 885 new cases) and lung cancer (52 777 new cases). Although the « all cancer » incidence rate as remained quite stable for 33 years in men, it has been raising by almost 1% per year in women. Regarding survival, the standardized net survival (SNS) at 5 years shows great disparities among tumor sites, and it is overall higher in women. Cancers with the best prognosis are thyroid cancer (SNS at 5 years: 96%), prostate cancer (93%), skin melanoma (93%) and uterine cancer (74%). On the contrary, a few tumor locations, including the pancreas (SNS at 5 years of 11%), the liver (18%) and the lung (20%) are still associated with a poor prognosis, even if survival rates have increased in most of cancer locations since 1990."
+8032,skin cancer,38329225,Relevance of detection of RAF fusion transcripts in pan-negative melanoma in routine practice.,"Pan-negative melanomas account for 30% of melanomas. In case of immunotherapy failure, therapeutic options are limited. Oncogene fusions represent a target of interest in many solid cancers. In melanoma, the frequency of oncogene fusion is not well documented and not routinely investigated. We conducted a single-center retrospective study. The objective was to determine the frequency of oncogene fusion detected by RNA sequencing, in patients with advanced or metastatic pan-negative melanoma. In parallel, an extended molecular alteration search was performed using extended targeted next-generation sequencing. We identified 59 patients with advanced pan-negative melanoma between January 2021 and January 2023. It was a cutaneous melanoma in 71.1% of the cases, a mucous melanoma in 15.2% of the cases. We identified nine patients with a RAF fusion, including seven BRAF gene fusion and two RAF1 fusion. Of the other molecular alterations, NF1 mutation was the most frequent molecular alteration identified. Among the nine patients with RAF fusions, all the patients initially received treatment with anti-PD1 ± anti-CTLA4 immunotherapy. After immunotherapy failure, five patients benefited from second-line targeted therapy (two with BRAF and MEK inhibitors combination, three MEK inhibitors alone). The response rate was 20%. In a population of pan-negative melanoma, we detected 15.2% of RAF fusion. Fusion detection allowed the introduction of a second line of targeted therapy, in the absence of a validated therapeutic option in 55.5% of cases. This study suggests the relevance of detecting RAF fusion in a selected population."

Giant congenital nevi, found in about 1% of newborns, increases the risk. However, the development of melanoma from a pre-existing giant congenital nevus diagnosed during the neonatal period is exceptionally rare. We present a case of congenital melanoma in a newborn, where nodules grew on an existing nevus on the baby's back. Literature on managing such cases was reviewed. This case highlights the importance of considering malignant transformation in congenital nevi and the challenges in their management. Due to limited reported cases over 80 years, conclusive findings on survival and treatment options are difficult to provide. Clinicians should report outcomes to develop a management algorithm for neonatal melanoma. Further studies are needed to enhance understanding of causes and treatment for patients with congenital giant hairy nevi and associated melanoma."
+8034,skin cancer,38329217,Hypoxic transcriptomes predict survival and tumor-infiltrating immune cell composition in cutaneous melanoma.,"Hypoxia has established associations with aggressive tumor phenotypes in many cancers. However, it is not currently understood whether tumor hypoxia levels map to distinct immune infiltrates in cutaneous melanoma, potentially unveiling novel therapeutic targets. To this end, we leveraged a previously identified seven-gene hypoxia signature to grade hypoxia levels of 460 cutaneous melanomas obtained from the Broad Institute GDAC Firehose portal. CIBERSORTx ( https://cibersortx.stanford.edu/ ) was employed to calculate the relative abundance of 22 mature human hematopoietic populations. Clinical outcomes and immune cell associations were assessed by computational means. Results indicated that patients with high-hypoxia tumors reported significantly worse overall survival and correlated with greater Breslow depth, validating the in-silico methodology. High-hypoxia tumors demonstrated increased infiltration of activated and resting dendritic cells, resting mast cells, neutrophils, and resting NK cells, but lower infiltration of gamma-delta T cells. These data suggest that high tumor hypoxia correlates with lower survival probability and distinct population differences of several tumor-infiltrating leukocytes in cutaneous melanomas."

In this meta-analysis, we systematically review available literature to elucidate the prevalence, distribution of lesions, complications, and risk factors associated with IH. A meticulous search encompassing the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science identified 3206 records, of which 55 studies met the inclusion criteria. We found that the overall prevalence of IH is 2.8% [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.5-4.4%] (31,274,396 infants), and IH was located more frequently in the head and neck with a prevalence of 47.4% (95% CI: 39.5-55.4%). The overall prevalence of complications of IH is 24.3% (95% CI: 18.6-30.5%), ulceration is 16.0% (95% CI: 10.4-21.2%), bleeding is 5.6% (95% CI: 3.3-8.5%), visual impairment is 5.6% (95% CI: 3.0-8.9%), infection is 2.8% (95% CI: 1.5-4.8%), subglottic obstruction is 1.5% (95% CI: 0.5-3.0%), respectively. Through 27 studies, we have evaluated 35 factors encompassing perinatal factors, socioeconomic factors, maternal complications, drug factors, and antepartum procedures, and identified 18 risk factors that increase the prevalence of IH. These findings can greatly assist clinicians and family members in effectively evaluating the risk of IH, and determining whether pregnant women should undergo intensified monitoring or preventive measures."

Mutations in the tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme fumarate hydratase (FH) lead to fumarate accumulation and cause hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC). HLRCC is a rare, inherited disease characterized by the development of non-cancerous smooth muscle tumors of the uterus and skin, and an increased risk of an aggressive form of kidney cancer. Fumarate has been shown to inhibit 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases (2OGDDs) involved in the hydroxylation of HIF1α, as well as in DNA and histone demethylation. However, the link between fumarate accumulation and changes in RNA post-transcriptional modifications has not been defined. Here, we determine the consequences of fumarate accumulation on the activity of different members of the 2OGDD family targeting RNA modifications. By evaluating multiple RNA modifications in patient-derived HLRCC cell lines, we show that mutation of FH selectively affects the levels of N6-methyladenosine (m"

In this study, we have explored the role of PD-L1 in acute keratinocytic photodamage testing the effects of small-molecule pharmacological inhibition. Epidermal PD-L1 upregulation in response to chronic photodamage was established using immunohistochemical and proteomic analyses of a human skin cohort, consistent with earlier observations that PD-L1 is upregulated in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Topical application of the small-molecule PD-L1 inhibitor BMS-202 significantly attenuated UV-induced activator protein-1 transcriptional activity in SKH-1 bioluminescent reporter mouse skin, also confirmed in human HaCaT reporter keratinocytes. RT-qPCR analysis revealed that BMS-202 antagonized UV induction of inflammatory gene expression. Likewise, UV-induced cleavage of procaspase-3, a hallmark of acute skin photodamage, was attenuated by topical BMS-202. NanoString nCounter transcriptomic analysis confirmed downregulation of cutaneous innate immunity- and inflammation-related responses, together with upregulation of immune response pathway gene expression. Further mechanistic analysis confirmed that BMS-202 antagonizes UV-induced PD-L1 expression both at the mRNA and protein levels in SKH-1 epidermis. These data suggest that topical pharmacological PD-L1 antagonism using BMS-202 shows promise for skin protection against photodamage."

However, the effect of the combination, especially between fact-based arguments and long-form narratives, varies depending on many factors which have been understudied. Our study therefore tested how argument strength, argument position, and target behavior interacted in impacting behavioral outcomes for such a combined message about skin cancer. Findings from our experiment revealed a significant three-way interaction, as weak arguments were more effective when embedding them in a long-form narrative, whereas strong arguments were more impactful when placing them before the narrative. Such an interaction emerged only when messages recommended sunscreen use but not when recommending skin-self exams. We discussed the implications of the findings for message design about skin cancer prevention and detection."

Although emerging studies have highlighted tumorigenic roles for the male sex hormone androgen and its receptor (AR) in melanoma, cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these sex-associated discrepancies are poorly defined. Here, we delineate a previously undisclosed mechanism by which androgen-activated AR transcriptionally upregulates fucosyltransferase 4 (FUT4) expression, which drives melanoma invasiveness by interfering with adherens junctions (AJs). Global phosphoproteomic and fucoproteomic profiling, coupled with in vitro and in vivo functional validation, further reveal that AR-induced FUT4 fucosylates L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM), which is required for FUT4-increased metastatic capacity. Tumor microarray and gene expression analyses demonstrate that AR-FUT4-L1CAM-AJs signaling correlates with pathological staging in melanoma patients. By delineating key androgen-triggered signaling that enhances metastatic aggressiveness, our findings help explain sex-associated clinical outcome disparities and highlight AR/FUT4 and its effectors as potential prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in melanoma."

BIM is characterized by two molecular alterations, including a mitogenic driver mutation (usually BRAF gene) and the loss of function of BAP1, a tumor suppressor gene located on chromosome 3p21, which encodes for BRCA1-associated protein (BAP1). The latter represents a nuclear-localized deubiquitinase involved in several cellular processes including cell cycle regulation, chromatin remodeling, DNA damage response, differentiation, senescence and cell death. BIMs are histologically characterized by a population of large epithelioid melanocytes with well-demarcated cytoplasmic borders and copious eosinophilic cytoplasm, demonstrating loss of BAP1 nuclear expression by immunohistochemistry. Recently, we have published a series of 50 cases, extending the morphological spectrum of the neoplasm and highlighting some new microscopic features. In the current article, we focus on some new histological features, attempting to explain and link them to certain mechanisms of tumor development, including senescence, endoreplication, endocycling, asymmetric cytokinesis, entosis and others. In light of the morphological and molecular findings observed in BIM, we postulated that this entity unmasks a fine mechanism of tumor in which both clonal/stochastic and hierarchical model can be unified."

Despite improvements in cancer survivorship, many women still require mastectomy as part of their therapeutic treatment. Mastectomy alone or delayed breast reconstruction (DBR) are two options available to women not suitable for immediate breast reconstruction at initial mastectomy. However, the presence of increased lateral adiposity (ILA) following mastectomy, commonly referred to as ``dog-ears,'' can lead to discomfort and aesthetic concerns. This paper explores the benefits and harms of ILA postmastectomy and its impact on patient satisfaction when choosing between mastectomy alone or DBR. A literature search was completed within OVID Medline, 1946-current, with the following terms, filtered for relevance: ""mastectomy,"" ""autologous reconstruction,"" ""scar,"" ""body image/dysmorphia,"" ""patient-reported outcomes,"" ""reconstructive surgical procedures/excess skin,"" ""surgical flaps/dog ear."" The disparity between clinical support and educational resources available for patients considering DBR options compared to those choosing mastectomy alone or pursuit of ""living flat"" is discussed. A common theme from qualitative research was the reported feeling of lack of inclusion in reconstruction planning by the patient. There were instances reported of residual skin remaining postmastectomy, against patient wishes. The findings emphasized the importance of shared decision-making and comprehensive preoperative education to ensure that patients are well-informed and satisfied with their chosen treatment approach. Further research is needed to address the specific needs and preferences of patients opting for mastectomy and to improve surgical techniques and education regarding living-flat options."

Currently, there are many reports on biological signals regulating repair. However, insufficient attention is paid to the process of mechanical regulation, especially the active mechanical regulation in vivo, which has not been realized. Herein, a novel dynamically regulated repair system for both in vitro and in vivo applications is developed, which utilizes magnetic nanoparticles as non-contact actuators to activate hydrogels. The magnetic hydrogel can be periodically activated and deformed to different amplitudes by a dynamic magnetic system. An in vitro skin model is used to explore the impact of different dynamic stimuli on cellular mechano-transduction signal activation and cell differentiation. Specifically, the effect of mechanical stimulation on the phenotypic transition of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts is investigated. Furthermore, in vivo results verify that dynamic massage can simulate and enhance the traction effect in skin defects, thereby accelerating the wound healing process by promoting re-epithelialization and mediating dermal contraction."

Although there is a lack of epidemiological data in China, it is generally believed that the incidence of BCC in China is increasing due to the aging population. A variety of risk factors are related to the occurrence of BCC, among which ultraviolet rays and gene mutations play a major role, especially the abnormal activation of Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway, which is considered to be the most important pathogenesis of BCC. The clinical manifestations of BCC are highly specific, and most experienced doctors can make a preliminary diagnosis by clinical manifestations. Dermoscopy and other imaging methods can greatly improve the accuracy of diagnosis, but there are still some atypical or rare types of BCC that need further confirmation through histopathological examination. This guideline is initiated by the National Clinical Research Center for Skin and Immune Diseases (based on Peking University First Hospital). It has invited a panel of experts consisting of 24 senior dermatologists specializing in dermatologic surgery from the Dermatologic Surgery Group of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association of Dermatology, the Dermatologic Surgery Group of the Dermatology & Venereology Committee, Chinese Association of Integration Medicine, and the Dermatologic Surgery and Cosmetic Branch of Clina Leprosy Association. In addition, experts from the Burn and Plastic Surgery (Maxillofacial), Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Radiation Therapy, and Pathology were also invited to participate.

Yearly cases have risen nearly 350% since the early 1980s, and these are predicted to increase as the overall US population ages. MCC of the eyelid is uncommon and can be misdiagnosed as other benign inflammatory and neoplastic eyelid disorders. Although MCC of the head and neck is often more aggressive than it is at other sites, eyelid MCC shows a lower disease-specific mortality rate. A biopsy is essential for accurate diagnosis, including an immunohistochemical panel of CK20 and TTF-1, although other markers may be necessary. Staging can be assessed clinically through physical examination findings and imaging and/or pathologically with sentinel lymph node biopsy or fine-needle aspiration. Pathologic staging more accurately predicts the prognosis. Eyelid MCC treatments include Mohs micrographic surgery to allow for complete clearance and adequate reconstruction of lost tissue, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy.

However, such phototoxicity is a double-edged sword, which is also harmful to normal tissues. To manipulate phototoxicity and improve the therapy effect, herein we have proposed a dressing-undressing strategy for de-activating and re-activating therapy functions of photosensitizer nanoparticles. One kind of metal organic framework (PCN-224), which is composed of Zr(IV) cation and tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP), has been prepared as a model of photosensitizer, and it has size of ∼70 nm. These PCN-224 nanoparticles are subsequently coated with a mesoporous organic silica (MOS) shell containing tetrasulfide bonds (-S-S-S-S-), realizing the dressing of PCN-224.

+8066,skin cancer,38325154,Immune subtyping of melanoma whole slide images using multiple instance learning.,"Determining early-stage prognostic markers and stratifying patients for effective treatment are two key challenges for improving outcomes for melanoma patients. Previous studies have used tumour transcriptome data to stratify patients into immune subgroups, which were associated with differential melanoma specific survival and potential predictive biomarkers. However, acquiring transcriptome data is a time-consuming and costly process. Moreover, it is not routinely used in the current clinical workflow. Here, we attempt to overcome this by developing deep learning models to classify gigapixel haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained pathology slides, which are well established in clinical workflows, into these immune subgroups. We systematically assess six different multiple instance learning (MIL) frameworks, using five different image resolutions and three different feature extraction methods. We show that pathology-specific self-supervised models using 10x resolution patches generate superior representations for the classification of immune subtypes. In addition, in a primary melanoma dataset, we achieve a mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.80 for classifying histopathology images into 'high' or 'low immune' subgroups and a mean AUC of 0.82 in an independent TCGA melanoma dataset. Furthermore, we show that these models are able to stratify patients into 'high' and 'low immune' subgroups with significantly different melanoma specific survival outcomes (log rank test, P< 0.005). We anticipate that MIL methods will allow us to find new biomarkers of high importance, act as a tool for clinicians to infer the immune landscape of tumours and stratify patients, without needing to carry out additional expensive genetic tests."

The underlying molecular mechanisms leading to this heterogeneity and progression pattern remain uncharted, hampering patient-tailored treatment. To investigate associated mechanisms, we analyzed clinical data and used immunohistochemistry, gene-expression profiling, cytogenetics, and next-generation sequencing in a cohort of 117 patients with PSDLBCL. The distribution in cell-of-origin (COO) was 68 (58%) activated B-cell (ABC), 44 (38%) germinal center B-cell (GCB), and 5 (4%) unclassifiable. COO was significantly associated with progression-free survival (PFS) and lymphoma-specific mortality (LSM) in both the overall cohort (5-year PFS: ABC, 43% vs GCB, 73%; LSM: ABC, 45% vs GCB, 14%) and in the subgroup of patients receiving immunochemotherapy (5-year PFS: ABC, 55% vs GCB, 85%; LSM: ABC, 28% vs GCB, 0%). ABC lymphomas were mainly MCD class, showing a high prevalence of MYD88 (74%) and CD79B (35%) mutations compared with GCB lymphomas (MYD88 23%; CD79B 10%) (P < .01). The ABC subtype frequently displayed cMYC/BCL2 coexpression (76% vs 18% GCB; P < .001) and HLA-II loss (48% vs 10% GCB; P < .001). PD-L1 expression and copy-number alterations were rare. All lymphomas were Epstein-Barr virus-negative. Our data suggest molecular profiling as a potent tool for detecting prognostic subgroups in PSDLBCL, exposing links to known relapse/dissemination sites. The ABC subgroup's MCD genetic features, shared with lymphomas at other nonprofessional lymphoid sites, make them potential candidates for targeted B-cell and toll-like receptor signaling therapy."

It exerts a diversity of pharmacological effects and has been used to treat gastropathy, hypertension, and eczema. Several studies reported that evodiamine has various biological effects, including anti-nociceptive, anti-bacterial, anti-obesity, and anti-cancer activities. However, there is no research regarding its effects on drug-resistant cancer. This study aimed to investigate the effect of evodiamine on human vemurafenib-resistant melanoma cells (A375/R cells) proliferation ability and its mechanism. Cell activity was assessed using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method. Flow cytometry assay was used to assess cell apoptosis and cell cycle. A xenograft model was used to analyze the inhibitory effects of evodiamine on tumor growth. Bioinformatics analyses, network pharmacology, and molecular docking were used to explore the potential mechanism of evodiamine in vemurafenib-resistant melanoma. RT-qPCR and Western blotting were performed to reveal the molecular mechanism. The alkaloid extract of the fruit of tetradium, evodiamine showed the strongest tumor inhibitory effect on vemurafenib-resistant melanoma cells compared to treatment with vemurafenib alone. Evodiamine inhibited vemurafenib-resistant melanoma cell growth, proliferation, and induced apoptosis, conforming to a dose-effect relationship and time-effect relationship. Results from network pharmacology and molecular docking suggested that evodiamine might interact with IRS4 to suppress growth of human vemurafenib-resistant melanoma cells. Interestingly, evodiamine suppressed IRS4 expression and then inhibited PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, and thus had the therapeutic action on vemurafenib-resistant melanoma."
+8074,skin cancer,38324004,Tumor-infiltrating γδ T cells as targets of immune checkpoint blockade in melanoma.,"Melanoma is one of the most sensitive tumors to immune modulation, and the major challenge for melanoma patients' survival is immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. γδ T lymphocytes play an antitumoral role in a broad variety of tumors including melanoma and they are optimal candidates for cellular immunotherapy. Thus, a comprehensive analysis of the correlation between γδ T cells and immune checkpoint receptors in the context of melanoma was conducted, with the aim of devising an innovative combined immunotherapeutic strategy. In this study, using the GEPIA2.0 database, a significant positive correlation was observed between the expression of γδ T cell-related genes (TRGC1, TRGC2, TCRD) and immune checkpoint genes (PDCD1, HAVCR2, LAG3), highlighting the potential role of γδ T cells in the immune response within melanoma. Moreover, flow cytometry analysis unveiled a significant augmentation in the population of γδ T cells within melanoma lesions, which exhibited the expression of immune checkpoint receptors including LAG3, TIM3, and PD1. Analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing data revealed a significant enrichment and functional reprogramming of γδ T cell clusters in response to ICIs. Interestingly, the effects of ICI therapy varied between Vδ1 and Vδ2 γδ T cell subsets, with distinct changes in gene expression patterns. Last, a correlation analysis between γδ T cell abundance, immune checkpoint gene expression, and clinical outcomes in melanoma patients showed that low expression of immune checkpoint genes, including LAG3, HAVCR2, and PDCD1, was associated with improved 1-year overall survival, emphasizing the significance of these genes in predicting patient outcomes, potentially outweighing the impact of γδ T cell abundance. This study offers critical insights into the dynamic interaction between γδ T cells, immune checkpoint receptors, and melanoma, providing valuable perspectives for potential therapeutic avenues and predictive markers in this intricate interplay."

Here we report the development of a dual-modality plasmonic nanostructure based on colloidal gold nanostars (AuNSs) for simultaneous surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and photoacoustic (PA) detection of tumor phantoms embedded (hidden) in ex vivo animal tissues. By using red blood cell membranes as a naturally derived biomimetic coating, we show that this class of dual-modality contrast agents can provide both Raman spectroscopic and PA signals for the detection and differentiation of hidden solid tumors with greatly improved depths of tissue penetration. Compared to previous polymer-coated AuNSs, the biomimetic coatings are also able to minimize protein adsorption and cellular uptake when exposed to human plasma without compromising their SERS or PA signals. We further show that tumor-targeting peptides (such as cyclic RGD) can be noncovalently inserted for targeting the ανβ"

However, the presence of reverse causality and residual confounding due to common risk factors introduces uncertainty regarding the extent to which endometriosis itself contributes to the development of cancer. We performed the Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the causal associations between endometriosis and 34 different types of cancers. The results of the inverse-variance-weighted (IVW) model suggested that genetic predisposition to endometriosis was causally associated with an increased risk for ovarian cancer (OR = 3.2913; p-value = .0320). The genetic liabilities to endometriosis had causal associations with the decreased risk for skin cancer (OR = 0.9973; p-value = .0219), hematological cancer (OR = 0.9953; p-value = .0175) and ER- breast cancer (OR = 0.6960; p-value = .0381). The causal association of the above combinations were robust by test of heterogeneity and pleiotropy. Together, our study suggests that endometriosis had causal effect on cancer risk."

Complete tumour sections of 36 cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, 5 cutaneous metastases and 9 keratoacanthomas, a highly-differentiated, squamoproliferative tumour, with disparately benign biologic behaviour, were evaluated by immunohistochemistry for expression of programmed cell death ligand 1 (Tumor Proportion Score, Immune Cell Score), TIGIT, CD155 and CD8+ immune infiltrates. Unlike keratoacanthomas, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma displayed a strong positive correlation of programmed cell death ligand 1 Tumor Proportion Score and CD115 expression (p < 0.001) with significantly higher programmed cell death ligand 1 Tumor Proportion Score (p < 0.001) and CD155 expression (p < 0.01) in poorly differentiated G3-cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma compared with keratoacanthomas. TIGIT+ infiltrates were significantly increased in programmed cell death ligand 1 Immune Cell Score positive primary tumours (p = 0.05). Yet, a strong positive correlation of TIGIT expression with CD8+ infiltrates was only detected in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (p < 0.01), but not keratoacanthomas. Providing a comprehensive overview on the collective landscape of inhibitory immune checkpoint expression, this study reveals associations of novel inhibitory immune checkpoint with CD8+ immune infiltrates and tumour differentiation and highlights the TIGIT/CD155 axis as a potential new target for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma immunotherapy."

+8085,skin cancer,38323070,Predicting Tacrolimus Concentrations in the Skin of Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Feasibility Study.,"Solid organ transplant recipients are at an increased risk of developing skin cancers due to chronic immunosuppression, particularly with calcineurin inhibitors. Tacrolimus is the most prescribed calcineurin inhibitor in this patient cohort, and understanding tacrolimus concentrations in the skin will facilitate the development of anti-cancer preventive and therapeutic strategies. Here, we show that in mice, tacrolimus blood levels peaked rapidly ∼1 h post last oral dose while skin levels rose more slowly and remained high for at least 6 h. Subsequently, tacrolimus skin and blood concentrations were assessed in 15 kidney transplant recipients. The mean age was 61 years, the average time post-transplant was 7 years (range 0-21 years) and 87% were male. The average skin sampling time post tacrolimus dosing was 6 h 32 min. Skin tacrolimus concentrations ranged from 7.1 ng/g to 71.2 ng/g and correlated with blood concentrations (r = 0.6). Mouse and human mean skin concentrations were in a similar range. Our data suggests that tacrolimus measurements in the blood may be used to approximate tacrolimus concentrations in the skin of kidney transplant recipients, and further exploited for the delivery of anti-cancer therapies designed to antagonize the immunosuppressive effects of tacrolimus in the skin."

+8090,skin cancer,38321950,Metastatic Granular Cell Tumor: A Rare Entity.,"Granular cell tumor, which is thought to recapitulate a Schwann cell phenotype, is a very rare neoplasm that belongs to soft tissue tumors. It can be classified as benign, atypical or malignant, based on specific histological criteria, with the majority of cases exhibiting an indolent behavior. Its biology and clinical course are poorly understood and its optimal management is yet to be defined, given the rarity of cases. Here we describe an atypical granular cell tumor in the upper middle back skin that evolved after a thirty-year indolent period. Despite complete surgical removal, the patient experienced a recurrence, both local and in the lungs, following an aggressive clinical course. Data on management of metastatic disease are extremely scarce, comprised exclusively of case reports. Therefore, we administered to the patient systemic therapy according to soft tissue sarcoma guidelines, which led to disease progression, with fatal outcome. In conclusion, recurrent and/or metastatic granular cell tumor is a rare disease that can be life-threatening, for which response to different therapies is unknown. The biologic behavior of atypical and malignant granular cell tumor is quite different from its benign counterpart, evoking soft tissue sarcomas, and its diagnosis should alert clinicians. The role of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy in this setting should be explored, to limit disease recurrence."

Mild to profound hearing loss and tinnitus are common symptoms reported by individuals with neurofibromatosis type 2. While tinnitus is known to have a significant and negative impact on the quality of life of individuals from the general population, the impact on individuals with neurofibromatosis type 2 is unknown. Consensus regarding the selection of suitable patient-reported outcome measures for assessment could advance further research into tinnitus in neurofibromatosis type 2 patients.

+8093,skin cancer,38321173,Systematic pan-cancer analyses of the potential function of the Golgi scaffold protein PAQR3.,"Progesterone and AdipoQ Receptor 3 (PAQR3) is a member of the AdipoQ receptor. Our previous studies have found that PAQR3 plays a role as a candidate inhibitor in cardiac adenocarcinoma, breast cancer, gastric cancer and colorectal cancer, but the systematic analysis of PAQR3 in tumors is currently lacking. The objective of this study was to investigate the prognostic and therapeutic value of PAQR3 in 31 tumors. Through the analysis of TCGA, UALCAN, GEO, GEPIA2, TIMER, Kaplan-Meier plotter, TISIDB and other databases, it was found that the expression level of PAQR3 changed significantly in different tumor types, and the expression level of Neuroblastoma was very high. And the level of Prostate adenocarcinoma is low. In addition, the expression level of PAQR3 in Cholangiocarcinoma, Esophageal carcinoma, Head and neck squamous carcinoma, Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Lung Adenocarcinoma and Lung squamous cell carcinoma was significantly higher than that in normal tissues. However, the expression level of PAQR3 in Breast Cancer, Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma, Kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma, Prostate Adenocarcinoma, Rectum Adenocarcinoma, Thyroid Cancer and Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma was lower than that in normal tissues. Subsequently, we explored the value of PAQR3 as a prognostic indicator of cancer. In Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Lower-grade Glioma and Glioblastoma, Pediatric Low-grade Gliomas, Kidney Chromophobe, and Thyroid Cancer, PAQR3 expression was positively correlated with OS and DSS, while in Rectum Adenocarcinoma, PAQR3 expression was negatively correlated with OS. PAQR3 high expression group Lower-grade Glioma and Glioblastoma, Pediatric Low-grade Gliomas, Uveal Melanoma, Kidney Chromophobe and DFI were positively correlated. PAQR3 can be used as a risk factor for the prognosis of multiple tumors. Then, we discussed the correlation between PAQR3 and immunology, and found that PAQR3 has a wide range of mutations in various tumor types, the most common mutation type is missense mutation, and common mutation types also include amplification, depth deletion, splicing, truncation and structural variation. Among the tumor samples with PAQR3 alterations, mutation occurred in all tumor samples except prostate adenocarcinoma and adrenal cortical carcinoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, brain low-grade glioma, and kidney clear cell carcinoma, while esophageal adenocarcinoma had the highest total alteration frequency. PAQR3 was strongly associated with CNV in 18 tumors, particularly in Ovarian cancer, Lung squamous cell carcinoma, and Adenoid cystic carcinoma. On the other hand, PAQR3 has a higher SNV frequency in Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma, Skin Cutaneous Melanoma and Lung Adenocarcinoma, among which Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma has the highest SNV frequency. These results showed that PAQR3 expression levels were significantly correlated with tumor mutation load, microsatellite instability, neoantigens, and purity. In summary, PAQR3 can affect the tumor microenvironment and has potential for chemotherapy. Finally, we investigated the role of PAQR3 in tumor resistance and found that the expression of PAQR3 affects the efficacy of multiple chemotherapy drugs. Based on these studies, we found that PAQR3 plays an important role in cancer and has potential in tumor diagnosis and prognosis."

While most of the research on T cell exhaustion and PD-1 blockade has been focused on conventional αβ T cells, the contribution of innate-like T cells such as γδ T cells to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 mediated therapy is limited. Here we show that tumor reactive γδ T cells respond to PD-1 blockade in a Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) patient experiencing a complete response to therapy. We find clonally expanded γδ T cells in the blood and tumor after pembrolizumab treatment, and this Vγ2Vδ1 clonotype recognizes Merkel cancer cells in a TCR-dependent manner. Notably, the intra-tumoral γδ T cells in the MCC patient are characterized by higher expression of PD-1 and TIGIT, relative to conventional CD4 and CD8 T cells. Our results demonstrate that innate-like T cells could also contribute to an anti-tumor response after PD-1 blockade."

We now report updated PFS and safety data and the first results for overall survival (OS) and objective response rate (ORR). METHODS: Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive nivolumab 480 mg and relatlimab 160 mg fixed-dose combination or nivolumab 480 mg alone, given intravenously every 4 weeks. PFS (primary end point) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1, was assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR). Secondary end points, tested hierarchically, were OS and then ORR per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1, per BICR. RESULTS: At a median follow-up of 19.3 months, median PFS according to BICR was 10.2 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.5 to 14.8) with nivolumab + relatlimab versus 4.6 months (95% CI, 3.5 to 6.4) with nivolumab (hazard ratio, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.64 to 0.94). Median OS was not reached (NR) (95% CI, 34.2 to NR) with nivolumab + relatlimab versus 34.1 months (95% CI, 25.2 to NR) with nivolumab (hazard ratio, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.64 to 1.01; P=0.059) (prespecified value for statistical significance, P≤0.043). ORRs per BICR were 43.1% (95% CI, 37.9 to 48.4) versus 32.6% (95% CI, 27.8 to 37.7), respectively. Grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events were observed in 21.1% of patients treated with nivolumab + relatlimab versus 11.1% treated with nivolumab. CONCLUSIONS: The fixed-dose combination of nivolumab + relatlimab showed consistent PFS benefit versus nivolumab with approximately 6 months of additional median follow-up. The combination treatment did not reach the preplanned statistical threshold for OS, with a 10.3 percentage-point difference in ORR. Grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events were more frequent with nivolumab + relatlimab versus nivolumab. (Funded by Bristol Myers Squibb; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT03470922.)"

+8107,skin cancer,38319712,Differential histone acetylation and super-enhancer regulation underlie melanoma cell dedifferentiation.,"Dedifferentiation or phenotype switching refers to the transition from a proliferative to an invasive cellular state. We previously identified a 122-gene epigenetic gene signature that classifies primary melanomas as low versus high risk (denoted as Epgn1 or Epgn3). We found that the transcriptomes of the Epgn1 low-risk and Epgn3 high-risk cells are similar to the proliferative and invasive cellular states, respectively. These signatures were further validated in melanoma tumor samples. Examination of the chromatin landscape revealed differential H3K27 acetylation in the Epgn1 low-risk versus Epgn3 high-risk cell lines that corroborated with a differential super-enhancer and enhancer landscape. Melanocytic lineage genes (MITF, its targets and regulators) were associated with super-enhancers in the Epgn1 low-risk state, whereas invasiveness genes were linked with Epgn3 high-risk status. We identified the ITGA3 gene as marked by a super-enhancer element in the Epgn3 invasive cells. Silencing of ITGA3 enhanced invasiveness in both in vitro and in vivo systems, suggesting it as a negative regulator of invasion. In conclusion, we define chromatin landscape changes associated with Epgn1/Epgn3 and phenotype switching during early steps of melanoma progression that regulate transcriptional reprogramming. This super-enhancer and enhancer-driven epigenetic regulatory mechanism resulting in major changes in the transcriptome could be important in future therapeutic targeting efforts."

However, the mechanism of IFNγ in promoting TNF-initiated caspase-8 activation in cancer cells is poorly understood. Here, we found that in addition to CASP8, CYLD is transcriptionally upregulated by IFNγ-induced transcription factor IRF1. IRF1-mediated CASP8 and CYLD upregulation additively mediates TNF/IFNγ-induced cancer cell death. Clinically, the expression levels of TNF, IFNγ, CYLD, and CASP8 in melanoma tumors are increased in patients responsive to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy after anti-PD-1 treatment. Accordingly, our genetic screen revealed that ELAVL1 (HuR) is required for TNF/IFNγ-induced caspase-8 activation. Mechanistically, ELAVL1 binds CASP8 mRNA and extends its stability to sustain caspase-8 expression both in IFNγ-stimulated and in basal conditions. Consequently, ELAVL1 determines death receptors-initiated caspase-8-dependent cell death triggered from stimuli including TNF and TRAIL by regulating basal/stimulated caspase-8 levels. As caspase-8 is a master regulator in cell death and inflammation, these results provide valuable clues for tumor immunotherapy and inflammatory diseases."

Studies implied a role for these SNPs as surrogate markers for immunotherapy-outcome in patients with melanoma. However, no predictive SNPs are defined to date. We analyzed different CTLA-4 SNPs in a large multicenter cohort of patients with ipilimumab-treated melanoma and investigated possible correlations with treatment-related outcomes. Archival blood and/or tumor tissue samples were collected from 361 patients with advanced-stage ipilimumab-treated (±nivolumab) in 6 Swiss and Dutch hospitals. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry based DNA genotyping was performed for 10 different CTLA-4 SNPs: 49A>G, CT60G>A, Jo27T>C, Jo30G>A, Jo31G>T, -658C>T, -1722T>C, -1661A>G, 318C>T, and C>T rs1863800. Associations between different allele genotypes and occurrence of grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) and survival were tested using univariable logistic regressions or Cox proportional hazard models. 262/361 (73%) patients could be analyzed; 65% of those were males, the median age was 58 years, 39% showed a partial or complete response, and 65% had ≥1 AEs. A TT-genotype of -1722T>C SNP was significantly associated with a lower incidence of grade ≥3 AEs ( P = 0.049), whereas the GG-genotype of CT60G>A correlated with a higher incidence of grade ≥3 AEs ( P = 0.026). The TT-genotype of Jo27T>C SNP ( P = 0.056) and GG-genotype of Jo31G>T ( P = 0.046) were associated with overall survival. CTLA-4 SNPs might predict treatment-related outcomes in patients with melanoma receiving ipilimumab.

On exam, the patient was aware of her issue, readily admitted to manipulation of the area, and had a past medical history significant for TN. The patient's history and clinical presentation led to a diagnosis of trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS). TTS is an extremely rare, ulcerative condition that can arise in patients suffering from TN. While TN itself is well-documented, treatment is often challenging and usually focused on achieving symptomatic relief; for this patient, she did not achieve adequate management of her neuropathic symptoms, and her condition progressed to TTS. Thus, given the patient's ongoing multi-modal TN treatment, she was encouraged not to pick or manipulate the area to the best of her ability to curb the extent of ulceration. Given that TTS is so infrequently seen, we are hopeful that, by identifying the specifics of the underlying neuronal aberrancies in the future, we may be able to better grasp TTS's pathophysiology, ulcer development, and potential future treatment options."

This report highlights an atypical case of cutaneous metastasis of breast cancer (CMBC) in a 66-year-old woman. Starting four months before her dermatology consultation, the patient underwent a chemotherapy regimen comprising pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and vinorelbine for right breast cancer, right axillary lymph node enlargement, and bone metastases. After commencing chemotherapy, erythematous macules appeared around her right nipple. Subsequently, the cutaneous lesions developed into annular erythematous patches around her right nipple and began to coalesce and expand to the contralateral breast. A skin biopsy revealed dysplastic cells indicative of metastasis from invasive ductal carcinoma. In addition, lymphovascular tumor cell invasion was noted in the reticular dermis. Based on these clinical progressions and histopathologic findings, a diagnosis of CMBC was made, specifically considering the possibility of inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). The patient continued the same chemotherapy regimen for 17 cycles, which improved the skin lesions, but she succumbed to breast cancer two years later. This case emphasizes the importance of considering CMBC in breast cancer patients with expanding, treatment-resistant thoracic cutaneous lesions, especially in aggressive subtypes like IBC.

Disease severity and the lack of efficacious treatments call for a better understanding of NS mechanisms. Here we describe a novel and viable, Spink5 conditional knock-out (cKO) mouse model, allowing to study NS progression. By combining transcriptomics and proteomics, we determine a disease molecular profile common to mouse models and NS patients. Spink5 cKO mice and NS patients share skin barrier and inflammation signatures defined by up-regulation and increased activity of proteases, IL-17, IL-36, and IL-20 family cytokine signaling. Systemic inflammation in Spink5 cKO mice correlates with disease severity and is associated with thymic atrophy and enlargement of lymph nodes and spleen. This systemic inflammation phenotype is marked by neutrophils and IL-17/IL-22 signaling, does not involve primary T cell immunodeficiency and is independent of bacterial infection. By comparing skin transcriptomes and proteomes, we uncover several putative substrates of tissue kallikrein-related proteases (KLKs), demonstrating that KLKs can proteolytically regulate IL-36 pro-inflammatory cytokines. Our study thus provides a conserved molecular framework for NS and reveals a KLK/IL-36 signaling axis, adding new insights into the disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets."

Using melanoma as a model, we show here that the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor MITF, a lineage addition oncogene that coordinates many aspects of melanocyte and melanoma biology, plays a nontranscriptional role in shaping the DDR. On exposure to DNA-damaging agents, MITF is phosphorylated at S325, and its interactome is dramatically remodeled; most transcription cofactors dissociate, and instead MITF interacts with the MRE11-RAD50-NBS1 (MRN) complex. Consequently, cells with high MITF levels accumulate stalled replication forks and display defects in homologous recombination-mediated repair associated with impaired MRN recruitment to DNA damage. In agreement with this, high MITF levels are associated with increased single-nucleotide and copy number variant burdens in melanoma. Significantly, the SUMOylation-defective MITF-E318K melanoma predisposition mutation recapitulates the effects of DNA-PKcs-phosphorylated MITF. Our data suggest that a nontranscriptional function of a lineage-restricted transcription factor contributes to a tissue-specialized modulation of the DDR that can impact cancer initiation."

Human red blood cells (RBCs) undergo eryptosis which contributes to a plethora of pathological conditions. No reports, however, have examined the potential toxicity of BFN to RBCs. This study aims to characterize the biochemical mechanisms governing the influence of BFN on the physiology and lifespan of RBCs. Isolated RBCs from healthy volunteers were exposed to anticancer concentrations of commercially available BFN from the skin of Bufo gargarizans (10-200 μM) for 24 h at 37 °C. Photometric assays were used to estimate hemolysis and hemolytic markers, and flow cytometry was used to detect eryptotic markers.

Therefore, it is of great significance to investigate the mechanisms and explore effective methods to treat the disorder. Gut microbiota and intestinal metabolisms have critical roles in a variety of diseases. However, their roles on photoaging of skin were not well tested. In the present work, the results showed that compared with control group, the levels of MDA, SOD and CAT associated with oxidative stress, the levels of COL I, CER, and HA associated with skin function, and the mRNA levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α associated with inflammation after long-term exposure to ultraviolet radiation in mice were significantly changed. Skin pathological tissue was also seriously damaged. The protein levels of AQP3 and FLG were significantly decreased. Ultraviolet exposure also promoted skin photoaging by activating TNFR1/TRAF2-mediated MAPK pathway, in which the protein levels of P38/P-P38, c-FOS/P-c-FOS, MMP1, TNFR1 and TRAF2 were significantly increased in model mice compared with control group. In fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) experiment, we found that the intestinal microbiome of control mice alleviated skin photoaging via adjusting the protein levels of P38/P-P38, c-FOS/P-c-FOS, MMP1, TNFR1 and TRAF2. 16S rRNA sequencing found that 1639 intestinal bacteria were found, in which 15 bacteria including norank_f_Ruminococcaceae, Lachnospirac -eae_NK4A136_group, Lachnoclostridium, etc., were significantly different at the genus level. Untargeted GC-TOF/MS and UHPLC-MS/MS metabolomics showed 72 and 188 metabolites including taurine, ornithine, L-arginine, L-histidine, sucrose with significant differences compared with control group. Then, amino acid targeting assay showed 10 amino acids including L-ornithine, L-arginine and L-citrulline with higher levels in control group compared with model group. In addition, we also found that the variation of Lachnoclostridium abundance may regulate L-arginine metabolism to affect skin photoaging. Some intestinal bacteria and metabolites including amino acids may be closely related to skin photoaging, which should provide new methods to treat skin photoaging in the future."

MCNP version 6.1.0 Monte Carlo (MC) code was used to simulate the 18 MV photon beam of 2100 C/D-Varian linear accelerator (LINAC) for the FF and FFF modes. The MD (uniform magnetic flux density of 1 Tesla) and lead filter (thickness of 1 mm) were modeled to remove contaminant electrons. The dosimetric parameters for different scenarios of LINAC's head were calculated. Removing the flattening filter in the FFF mode increased the dose rate, electron contamination, skin dose, out-of-field dose, and un-flatness compared to the FF mode. While the lead filter decreased the contaminant electrons significantly, using the MD removed all secondary electrons from the beam line. The surface dose was decreased by 8.3% and 11.2% for the magnetic deflector (MD) and lead filter in the FF mode, respectively. The surface dose was decreased by 16.8% and 20.3% for the MD and lead filter scenarios in the FFF mode, respectively. The MD and lead filter decreased surface penumbra by 15.5% and 11.5% compared to the FFF mode. Removing the flattening filter from the LINAC's head improves most of the dosimetric characteristics of the 18MV therapeutic beam. The use of a lead filter and magnetic deflector preserves the skin-sparing property of megavoltage beams that deteriorate in FFF mode. However, using a magnetic deflector does not reduce photon fluence and dose rate."

However, adverse events also occurred. Accurate individualized prognostic estimates of RFS and overall survival (OS) would allow patients to more accurately weigh the risks and benefits of adjuvant therapy.

In this study, we found that melanoma patients exhibited a distinct gut mycobiota structure compared with healthy participants. Candida albicans, Candida dubliniensis, and Neurospora crassa were more abundant in samples from patients with melanoma, whereas Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Debaryomyces hansenii were less abundant. During anti-PD-1 treatment, the relative amount of Malassezia restricta and C. albicans increased. A higher level of Saccharomyces paradoxus was associated with a positive response to anti-PD-1 treatment, whereas a higher level of Tetrapisispora blattae was associated with a lack of clinical benefits. High levels of M. restricta and C. albicans, elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase, and being overweight were linked to increased risk of melanoma progression and poorer response to anti-PD-1 treatment. Thus, this study has revealed melanoma-associated mycobiome dysbiosis, characterized by altered fungal composition and fungi species associated with a higher risk of melanoma progression, identifying a role for the gut mycobiome in melanoma progression."

Timely diagnosis of malignant melanoma (MM) is crucial for optimal patient outcomes. Thus, the Danish Health Authority implemented a fast-track referral system (FTRS) comprising a clinical diagnostic filter function (CDFF) and a cancer package. This study aimed to characterise the flow of patients with a tentative MM diagnosis referred through the CDFF to a department of dermatology. METHODS. Retrospective data from the Danish patient and pathology file system were analysed for patients referred to the Department of Dermato-Venereology at Bispebjerg Hospital, Denmark, via the CDFF, with suspected MM in a one-year period. RESULTS. Among 860 patients with 895 skin lesions, 283 (31.6%) were discharged with a clinical benign diagnosis after their initial consultation, whereas treatment of another 77 (8.6%) patients concluded following a three-month observation period. One-year follow-up of these 360 (283 + 77) clinically benign skin lesions showed no malignancy. Among 100 MM-suspicious lesions promptly referred for excision to a department of plastic surgery, 48% were MM. CONCLUSIONS. In a Danish population with tentative MM diagnosis referred through the CDFF to a dermatological hospital department, one-third of patients were discharged with a clinically benign diagnosis. Half of the skin lesions referred for excision to the department of plastic surgery were MM. This indicates a decreased burden of overdiagnosis and a potential reduction of unnecessary surgical scars when dermatologists serve as gate keepers of the FTRS for MM. FUNDING.

However, cath lab staff, including interventional cardiologists, is consistently exposed to ionizing radiation, which poses inherent health risks. Radiation exposure in the cath lab primarily results from the use of fluoroscopy and cineangiography during diagnostic and interventional procedures. Understanding these risks and implementing effective radiation protection measurements are imperative to ensure the well-being of healthcare professionals while delivering high-quality cardiac care. Prolonged and repeated exposure can lead to both deterministic and stochastic effects. Deterministic effects, such as skin erythema and tissue damage, are more likely to occur at high radiation doses. Interventional cardiologists and staff may experience these effects when safety measures are not rigorously followed. In fact, while ionizing radiation is essential in the practice of radiation cardiology ward, cath lab staff faces inherent risks from radiation exposure. Stochastic effects, on the other hand, are characterized by a probabilistic relationship between radiation exposure and the likelihood of harm. These effects include the increased risk of cancer, particularly for those with long-term exposure. Interventional cardiologists, due to their frequent presence in the cath lab, face a higher lifetime cumulative radiation dose, potentially elevating their cancer risk. Protective measures, including the use of lead aprons, thyroid shields, and radiation monitoring devices, play a crucial role in reducing radiation exposure for cath lab personnel. Adherence to strict dose optimization protocols, such as minimizing fluoroscopy time and maximizing distance from the radiation source, is also essential in mitigating these risks. Ongoing research and advancements in radiation safety technology are essential in further for minimizing the adverse effects of ionizing radiation in the cath lab."
+8144,skin cancer,38314217,Mechanisms of Altered Immune Response in Skin Melanoma.,"Melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer, poses significant challenges to the host immune system, allowing tumor cells to evade immune surveillance and persist. This complex interplay between melanoma and the immune system involves a multitude of mechanisms that impair immune recognition and promote tumor progression. This review summarizes the intricate strategies employed by melanoma cells to evade the immune response, including defective immune recognition, immune checkpoint activation, and the role of regulatory T-cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, and exosomes in suppressing anti-tumor immunity. Additionally, we discuss potential therapeutic targets aimed at reversing immune evasion in melanoma, highlighting the importance of understanding these mechanisms for developing more effective immunotherapies. Improved insights into the interactions between melanoma and the immune system will aid in the development of novel treatment strategies to enhance anti-tumor immune responses and improve patient outcomes."

The tumor was excised with a margin in non-tumorous tissue, the nearest being 1 mm away from the tumor at the 12 o'clock position. The surgical process was complicated by the patient's treatment with the anticoagulant rivaroxaban, resulting in increased bleeding during surgery. The histopathological evaluation showed characteristics indicative of a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, more specifically, the keratoacanthoma type. Consequently, it was necessary to extend the excision at the 12 o'clock position by an additional 3 mm. The procedure involved extensive removal of the impacted area and subsequent reconstruction with advancement flaps, supported by histological examination to ensure total excision. In cases of squamous cell carcinoma on the eyelid, multiple sequential excisions are often required to ensure complete removal within safe histological margins, achieving desirable functional and esthetic results."

Majority of cases present in advanced stages which requires extensive reconstruction following tumor resection. Microvascular free flap reconstruction is now considered standard of care for reconstruction for major head and neck skin-mucosal defects but, many factors still act as hindrance like patient's comorbidities, long operating hours for microvascular reconstruction, logistic and financial issues from patient's side. In such situation it is better to have a backup plan for reconstruction of major head and neck defects using pedicled flaps. Pectoralis major myocutaneous (PMMC) flap has been the workhorse flap for head and neck reconstruction since its introduction four decades ago. But relying too much on PMMC flap for major skin-mucosal defects especially in female patients is associated with complications and risk for flap failure leading to catastrophic and significant patient morbidities. Our study involves the use of two flaps for head and neck reconstuction involving skin-mucosal defects i.e PMMC flap for mucosal defect and cervicodeltopectoral (CDP) flap for skin defect. As of now there has been no retrospective or prospective study done which has given a conclusive statement regarding use of these two flaps simultaneously for head and neck reconstruction to the best of our knowledge. In our experience from the present study, CDP flap offers an excellent alternative for extensive head and neck reconstruction and can be readily included in the surgeon's armamentarium with proper planning and meticulous handling."
+8153,skin cancer,38312808,Quality control in clinical raster-scan optoacoustic mesoscopy.,"Optoacoustic (photoacoustic) mesoscopy bridges the gap between optoacoustic microscopy and macroscopy and enables high-resolution visualization deeper than optical microscopy. Nevertheless, as images may be affected by motion and noise, it is critical to develop methodologies that offer standardization and quality control to ensure that high-quality datasets are reproducibly obtained from patient scans. Such development is particularly important for ensuring reliability in applying machine learning methods or for reliably measuring disease biomarkers. We propose herein a quality control scheme to assess the quality of data collected. A reference scan of a suture phantom is performed to characterize the system noise level before each raster-scan optoacoustic mesoscopy (RSOM) measurement. Using the recorded RSOM data, we develop a method that estimates the amount of motion in the raw data.

However, a plethora of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) has been observed during anti-PD-1 treatment, including cutaneous adverse events, such as vitiligo and pruritus. These adverse events may lead to treatment discontinuation. When anti-PD-1 treatment is combined with radiotherapy (RT), irAEs may be exacerbated. Here we present a case report of an elderly patient with stage IIIb rectal cancer, who developed PD-1 inhibitor-associated vitiligo. After a session of RT, vitiligo lesions enlarged shortly thereafter. After discontinuation of anti-PD-1 treatment, vitiligo lesions and pruritus quickly improved with appropriate treatment. The rectal cancer achieved clinical complete response with no sign of recurrence or metastasis during follow-up. Considering the similar mechanism of anti-PD-1 treatment in targeting cancer and in inducing irAEs, cutaneous adverse events may be associated with favourable clinical response. Additionally, cutaneous irAEs aggravated by RT in this patient may suggested significant immune activation, which may occasionally contribute to tumour regression and favourable clinical outcome."

However, their investigation in melanoma is still at an early stage, particularly as a broader mechanism beyond acting as miRNA sponges needs to be explored. We report here that circFCHO2(hsa_circ_0002490), a circRNA encompassing exons 19 and 20 of the FCHO2 gene, exhibited a consistent overexpression in melanoma tissues. Furthermore, elevated circFCHO2 levels demonstrated a positive correlation with the malignant phenotype and poor prognosis among the 158 melanoma patients studied. Besides, we observed that heightened levels of circFCHO2 promoted melanoma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro, along with contributing to tumor growth in vivo. Furthermore, we found differences in the secondary structure of circFCHO2 compared to most other circular RNA structures. It has fewer miRNA binding sites, while it has more RNA binding protein binding sites. We therefore speculate that circFCHO2 may have a function of interacting with RNA binding proteins. Mechanistically, it was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), RNA-pull down, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and western blotting assays that circFCHO2 interacts with dead end protein homolog 1 (DND1) and reverses the inhibition of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway by binding to DND1. Our findings reveal that circFCHO2 drives melanoma progression by regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway through direct binding to DND1 and may serve as a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for the treatment of melanoma."

Recently, ultrasound technology as a noninvasive adjuvant therapy is developed to optimize treatment protocols. However, the biophysical mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated. Here, it is proposed that piezo-type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1 (Piezo1) plays an important role in low-frequency sonophoresis (LFS) induced mechanical transduction pathways that trigger downstream cellular signaling processes. It is demonstrated that patient-derived primary keloid fibroblasts (PKF), NIH 3T3, and HFF-1 cell migration are inhibited, and PKF apoptosis is significantly increased by LFS stimulation. And the effects of LFS is diminished by the application of GsMTx-4, the selective inhibitor of Piezo1, and the knockdown of Piezo1. More importantly, the effects of LFS can be imitated by Yoda1, an agonist of Piezo1 channels. Establishing a patient-derived xenograft keloid implantation mouse model further verified these results, as LFS significantly decreased the volume and weight of the keloids. Moreover, blocking the Piezo1 channel impaired the effectiveness of LFS treatment. These results suggest that LFS inhibits the malignant characteristics of keloids by activating the Piezo1 channel, thus providing a theoretical basis for improving the clinical treatment of keloids."

The bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) family plays a pivotal role in the transcriptional regulation of inflammation and its inhibitors can downregulate DCs maturation and activation. Here we investigated the effect of NHWD-870, a potent BET inhibitor, on inflammation in an imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like mouse model and murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and IMQ. Application of NHWD-870 significantly ameliorated IMQ-triggered skin inflammation in mice, and markers associated with DC maturation (CD40, CD80 and CD86) were decreased in skin lesions, spleen and lymph nodes. Additionally, NHWD-870 reduced LPS or IMQ induced DCs maturation and activation in vitro, with lower expression of inflammatory cytokines [interleukin (IL)-12, IL-23, tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-6, IL-1β, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand (CXCL)9 and CXCL10]. In addition, we found that interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) significantly increased during DCs maturation, and inhibition of IRF7 could impair BMDCs maturation and activation. What's more, IRF7 was highly expressed in both psoriatic patients and IMQ-induced psoriasis-like mice. Single-cell RNA sequencing of normal and psoriatic skin demonstrated that IRF7 expression was increased in DCs of psoriatic skin. While NHWD-870 could inhibit IRF7 and phosphorylated-IRF7 expression in vivo and in vitro. These results indicate that NHWD-870 suppresses the maturation and activation of DCs by decreasing IRF7 proteins which finally alleviates psoriasis-like skin lesions, and NHWD-870 may be a potent therapeutic drug for psoriasis."

Biomaterial-mediated immunotherapy has emerged as a superior strategy for anti-tumor applications in recent years. Herein, a unique double-layer MNP was developed to address the problem of malignant melanoma. Hydroxyapatite (HAP) and short-chain peptides from tumor cells were self-assembled to prepare the bioinspired nano-vaccine, and then they were loaded onto the microneedle tips of methacrylated gelatin (GelMA)-based MNP. The products (dubbed HVMN) demonstrated relatively good biocompatibility and immune activity, inhibiting the proliferation and inducing apoptosis of malignant melanoma in a B16 cell-bearing model of C57BL/6 mice, and promoting skin tissue regeneration in a full thickness skin defect model of SD rats in 15 days.

ICI have been approved for a wide range of cancers, including malignant melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer, head and neck cancer, Hodgkin's disease, small-cell lung cancer, malignant pleural mesothelioma, gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma, and the number of indications continues to grow. In addition to the treatment of advanced disease, the anti-tumor effect has been demonstrated across disease stages, from locally advanced disease to early-stage operative disease. The treatment of lung cancer is at the forefront of this trend and long-term durable responses and survival benefits in lung cancer have been exhibited that were unimaginable when cytotoxic anticancer agents were the only treatment options. However, treatment efficacy varies greatly from case to case, and no biomarkers have been developed to accurately predict efficacy. In this article, we discuss the past and future of ICI therapy for lung cancer, based on clinical and basic evidence accumulated to-date."
+8166,skin cancer,38310633,Treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancer with pro-differentiation agents and photodynamic therapy: Preclinical and clinical studies (Review).,"Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a nonscarring cancer treatment in which a pro-drug (5-aminolevulinic acid, ALA) is applied, converted into a photosensitizer (protoporphyrin IX, PpIX) which is then activated by visible light. ALA-PDT is now popular for treating nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC), but can be ineffective for larger skin tumors, mainly due to inadequate production of PpIX. Work over the past two decades has shown that differentiation-promoting agents, including methotrexate (MTX), 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and vitamin D (Vit D) can be combined with ALA-PDT as neoadjuvants to promote tumor-specific accumulation of PpIX, enhance tumor-selective cell death, and improve therapeutic outcome. In this review, we provide a historical perspective of how the combinations of differentiation-promoting agents with PDT (cPDT) evolved, including Initial discoveries, biochemical and molecular mechanisms, and clinical translation for the treatment of NMSCs. For added context, we also compare the differentiation-promoting neoadjuvants with some other clinical PDT combinations such as surgery, laser ablation, iron-chelating agents (CP94), and immunomodulators that do not induce differentiation. Although this review focuses mainly on the application of cPDT for NMSCs, the concepts and findings described here may be more broadly applicable towards improving the therapeutic outcomes of PDT treatment for other types of cancers."

In this study, the tape-stripping technique was used to induce the development of Köbner reaction in 18 subjects with psoriasis. Eight subjects developed a positive reaction. To study the early cellular changes, skin biopsies were taken at the baseline and subsequent time points of 2 h, 1 d, 3 d, and 7 d for the immunostaining of complement C3c, iC3b, and cells expressing complement receptor 3 (CD11b/CD18; a receptor of iC3b) or CD14. The results show that the positive Köbner reaction is associated with rapid (2 h-1 d) and sustained (3-7 d) increase in the expression of epidermal C3c and iC3b and dermal C3c. In addition, there was a positive correlation between CD11b+ and CD14+ cells in baseline and 2 h-1 d biopsies with a subsequent increase in CD11b+ and CD14+ cells in 3-7 d biopsies in the Köbner-positive group. In the Köbner-negative group, only a transient increase in epidermal iC3b at 2 h-1 d, as well as rapid (2 h-1 d) and sustained increase (3-7 d) in dermal iC3b and CD14+ cells, was observed. In experiments with cultured monolayer keratinocytes, a slight cell damage already at 30 mJ/cm2 ultraviolet B irradiation led to increased expression of C3c, but not iC3b. Therefore, there are marked differences between Köbner groups in respect to the expression of C3c, iC3b, and cells expressing CD11b or CD14. Of note is the rapid and sustained increase in epidermal C3c and iC3b in the positive Köbner reaction."

+8170,skin cancer,38310103,ANKRD1 is a mesenchymal-specific driver of cancer-associated fibroblast activation bridging androgen receptor loss to AP-1 activation.,"There are significant commonalities among several pathologies involving fibroblasts, ranging from auto-immune diseases to fibrosis and cancer. Early steps in cancer development and progression are closely linked to fibroblast senescence and transformation into tumor-promoting cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), suppressed by the androgen receptor (AR). Here, we identify ANKRD1 as a mesenchymal-specific transcriptional coregulator under direct AR negative control in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) and a key driver of CAF conversion, independent of cellular senescence. ANKRD1 expression in CAFs is associated with poor survival in HNSCC, lung, and cervical SCC patients, and controls a specific gene expression program of myofibroblast CAFs (my-CAFs). ANKRD1 binds to the regulatory region of my-CAF effector genes in concert with AP-1 transcription factors, and promotes c-JUN and FOS association. Targeting ANKRD1 disrupts AP-1 complex formation, reverses CAF activation, and blocks the pro-tumorigenic properties of CAFs in an orthotopic skin cancer model. ANKRD1 thus represents a target for fibroblast-directed therapy in cancer and potentially beyond."
+8171,skin cancer,38310012,Dermatology in black skin.,"The vast majority of publications in dermatology refer to lightly pigmented skin, with few addressing the peculiarities of black skin. In addition there is no consensus on what it means to be black in different regions of the world. The lack of knowledge on the subject makes it difficult to recognize and manage dermatoses in this type of skin. This article aims to review the literature on intrinsic characteristics, as well as epidemiological and clinical aspects of the cutaneous manifestations of different dermatoses in black skin. It was found that there are sometimes striking differences, in the structural, biological, and functional aspects when comparing lightly pigmented and black skin. There are also physiological changes that need to be recognized to avoid unnecessary interventions. Some dermatoses have a higher incidence in black skin, such as acne, eczema, dyschromia and dermatophytosis. On the other hand, several dermatoses are more specific to black skin, such as pseudofolliculitis barbae, keloid, dermatosis papulosa nigra, ulcers caused by sickle-cell anemia, dactylolysis spontanea, confluent and reticulated papillomatosis of Gougerot and Carteaud, and some diseases of the hair and scalp (including fragile and brittle hair, traction alopecia, folliculitis keloidalis nuchae, folliculitis dissecans and central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia). A spectrum of peculiar aspects of specific dermatoses, including sarcoidosis, lichen planus (with emphasis on the pigmentosus variant), psoriasis, lupus erythematosus, vitiligo, syphilis, pityriasis versicolor, and neoplasms are highlighted. In the latter, characteristics of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma are compared, in addition to highlighting unusual aspects of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, endemic Kaposi sarcoma, and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans."

However, the hallmarks of cancer are also the hallmarks of wound healing, and modulating the wound inflammatory response and immune contexture in relation to cancer surgery may represent effective targets of therapies.Repurposing anti-inflammatory drugs in a cancer setting has gained increasing interest in recent years. Interestingly, the known and thoroughly tested antifibrinolytic drug tranexamic acid reduces the risk of bleeding, but it is also suggested to play important roles in anti-inflammatory pathways, improving wound healing and affecting anti-carcinogenic mechanisms.As a novel approach, we will conduct a randomised controlled trial using perioperative treatment with tranexamic acid, aiming to prevent early relapses by >10% for patients with melanoma."

However, understanding the molecular basis of such associations has remained a challenge because most of these loci are in non-coding regions of the genome. Here, we integrated data on epigenomic markers, three-dimensional (3D) genome organization, and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) from melanoma-relevant tissues and cell types to gain novel insights into the mechanisms underlying melanoma risk. This integrative approach revealed a total of 151 target genes, both near and far away from the risk loci in linear sequence, with known and novel roles in the etiology of melanoma. Using protein-protein interaction networks, we identified proteins that interact-directly or indirectly-with the products of the target genes. The interacting proteins were enriched for known melanoma driver genes. Further integration of these target genes into tissue-specific gene regulatory networks revealed patterns of gene regulation that connect melanoma to its comorbidities.

(OxaNeuro).,Oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (OIPN) in general and painful OIPN in particular is a debilitating late effect that severely affects cancer survivors' quality of life and causes premature cessation of potentially lifesaving treatment. No preventive treatments and no effective treatment for chronic OIPN exist despite many attempts. One of several suggested mechanisms includes neuroinflammation as a contributing factor to OIPN. Fish oil containing long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFAs) are precursors to specialized proresolving mediators that mediate the resolution of inflammation. Our primary hypothesis is that a high supplementation of n-3 LCPUFAs will lower the prevalence and severity of OIPN.

+8188,skin cancer,38308096,YAP1 controls the N-cadherin-mediated tumor-stroma interaction in melanoma progression.,"The hallmark of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is the switch from epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin) to neural cadherin (N-cadherin), allowing melanoma cells to form a homotypic N-cadherin-mediated adhesion with stromal fibroblasts. However, how cadherin switching is initiated, maintained, and regulated in melanoma remains elusive. Here, we report a novel mechanism underlying cadherin switching in melanoma cells that is regulated by stromal Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) signaling. The progression of a BRAF-mutant mouse melanoma was suppressed in vivo upon YAP1 ablation in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). On the contrary, overexpressing YAP1 in CAFs accelerated melanoma development. By RNA-Seq, N-cadherin was identified as a major downstream effector of YAP1 signaling in CAFs. YAP1 silencing reduced N-cadherin expression in CAFs, leading to the downregulation of N-cadherin in neighboring melanoma cells. N-cadherin ablation inhibited the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway in melanoma cells and melanoma cell proliferation. The findings suggest that YAP1 depletion in CAFs induces the downregulation of p-AKT signaling in melanoma cells through the N-cadherin-mediated interaction between melanoma cells and CAFs. The data underscore an important role of CAFs in regulating N-cadherin-mediated adhesion and signaling in melanoma and highlight that disentangling cadherin-mediated cell-cell interactions can potentially disrupt tumor-stroma interactions and reverse the tumor cell invasive phenotype."

However, current techniques, such as skin biopsy and histological examination, pose invasiveness, time-consumption, and have limitations in measuring at the deepest level. Non-invasive imaging techniques like dermoscopy and confocal microscopy also present limitations in accurately capturing contrast and depth information for various skin types and lesion locations. Thus, there is a pressing need for non-invasive devices capable of obtaining high-resolution 3D images of skin lesions. In this study, we introduce a novel device that combines 18 MHz ultrasound and photoacoustic tomography into a single unit, enabling the acquisition of colocalized 3D images of skin lesions. We performed in vivo measurements on 25 suspicious human skin nevi that were promptly excised following measurements. The combined ultrasound/photoacoustic tomography imaging technique exhibited a strong correlation with histological Breslow thickness between 0.2 and 3 mm, achieving a coefficient of determination (R[Formula: see text]) of 0.93, which is superior to the coefficients from the individual modalities. The results procured in our study underscore the potential of combined ultrasound and photoacoustic tomography as a promising non-invasive 3D imaging approach for evaluating human nevi and other skin lesions. Furthermore, the system allows for integration of other optical modalities such as optical coherence tomography, microscopy, or Raman spectroscopy in future applications."

However, the mortality rate of African American men aged 40-60 years is almost 2.5-fold greater than that of European American men. Despite screening and diagnostic and therapeutic advances, disparities in prostate cancer incidence and outcomes remain prevalent. The reasons that lead to this disparity in outcomes are complex and multifactorial. Established non-modifiable risk factors such as age and genetic predisposition contribute to this disparity; however, evidence suggests that modifiable risk factors (including social determinants of health, diet, steroid hormones, environment and lack of diversity in enrolment in clinical trials) are prominent contributing factors to the racial disparities observed. Disparities involved in the diagnosis, treatment and survival of African American men with prostate cancer have also been correlated with low socioeconomic status, education and lack of access to health care. The effects and complex interactions of prostate cancer modifiable risk factors are important considerations for mitigating the incidence and outcomes of this disease in African American men."

Despite advances in therapy, patients experience cycles of remission and relapse, with each successive line of therapy associated with poorer outcomes; therefore, therapies with different mechanisms of action against new myeloma antigens are needed. G protein-coupled receptor class C group 5 member D (GPRC5D) has emerged as a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of multiple myeloma. We review the biology and target validation of GPRC5D, and clinical data from early phase trials of GPRC5D-targeting bispecific antibodies, talquetamab and forimtamig, and chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapies, MCARH109, OriCAR-017, and BMS-986393. In addition to adverse events (AEs) associated with T-cell-redirection therapies irrespective of target, a consistent pattern of dermatologic and oral AEs has been reported across several trials of GPRC5D-targeting bispecific antibodies, as well as rare cerebellar events with CAR-T therapy. Additional studies are needed to understand the underlying mechanisms involved in the development of skin- and oral-related toxicities. We review the strategies that have been used to manage these GPRC5D-related toxicities. Preliminary efficacy data showed overall response rates for GPRC5D-targeting T-cell-redirecting therapies were ≥64%; most responders achieved a very good partial response or better. Pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics showed that these therapies led to cytokine release and T-cell activation. In conclusion, results from early phase trials of GPRC5D-targeting T-cell-redirecting agents have shown promising efficacy and manageable safety profiles, including lower infection rates compared with B-cell maturation antigen- and Fc receptor-like protein 5-targeting bispecific antibodies. Further clinical trials, including those investigating GPRC5D-targeting T-cell-redirecting agents in combination with other anti-myeloma therapies and with different treatment modalities, may help to elucidate the future optimal treatment regimen and sequence for patients with multiple myeloma and improve survival outcomes.

PBM offers patients many benefits compared to other treatments. It is noninvasive, cost-effective, convenient for patients, and offers a favorable safety profile. PBM can be used as an alternative or adjuvant to other treatment modalities including pharmacotherapy. It is important for dermatologists to gain a better clinical understanding of PBM for in-office administration and to counsel patients on proper application for home-use devices to best manage safety and expectations as this technology develops. PBM wavelengths can induce varied biological effects in diverse skin types, races, and ethnicities; therefore, it is also important for dermatologists to properly counsel their skin of color patients who undergo PBM treatments.

Despite great advances in radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, the survival rate and prognosis of patients with melanoma remain poor. The abundant and sophisticated reciprocal communication network between melanoma cells and non-tumor cells contributes to the high heterogeneity of the melanoma microenvironment and is intimately related to varying treatment responses and clinical courses. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane structures generated by nearly all cell types. EVs contain biologically active molecules, mainly comprising proteins, lipids, and RNAs, and undoubtedly play multifaceted roles in numerous diseases, represented by melanoma. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) mainly encompass long non-coding RNAs, microRNAs, and circular RNAs and constitute the majority of the human transcriptome. Multiple ncRNAs encapsulated in EVs coordinate various pathophysiological processes in melanoma.

Generally, breast cancers of such subtype and that too in Lower Outer Quadrant (LOQ) are always of a concern and can be more troublesome to the patient. When the patient came for the first time, her chief complaint was palpable lump in her right breast for previous three months. We advised her to undergo relevant investigations and, it was found to be malignant. She underwent surgery, Modified Radical Mastectomy,(MRM), followed by chemotherapy. During chemotherapy, which was Adriamycin + Cyclophosphamide (AC) protocol 4 cycles, followed by Docetaxel 4 cycles, every 21 days. After 2 cycles, she started complaints of pain in both calf regions, numbness in fingers of hand and foot, severe generalized skin rash with itching, hyperacidity and constipation.

This study proposes that the variability in tumour responses and drug-induced adverse events is linked to the transcriptional profiles of cell surface receptors (CSRs) in breast tumours and normal tissues. We analysed multiple datasets to compare CSR expression in breast tumours with that in non-cancerous human tissues. Our findings correlate the drug responses of breast cancer cell lines with the expression levels of their targeted CSRs. Notably, we identified distinct differences in CSR expression between primary breast tumour subtypes and corresponding cell lines, which may influence drug response predictions. Additionally, we used clinical trial data to uncover associations between CSR gene expression in healthy tissues and the incidence of adverse drug reactions. This integrative approach facilitates the selection of optimal CSR targets for therapy, leveraging cell line dose-responses, CSR expression in normal tissues, and patient adverse event profiles."

Although the bilobed flap offers distinct advantages for reconstructing these defects using an adjacent tissue with similar esthetic qualities, this flap has several potential limitations. The authors hypothesized that the conventional keystone flap and its variants provide a versatile and easily reproducible reconstructive option for nasal reconstruction after wide skin cancer excision. The authors retrospectively reviewed 12 consecutive soft tissue reconstruction data using 3 types of keystone flaps between May 2021 and July 2023. The authors reviewed all patients who underwent reconstruction with the keystone flap or its modification to repair cutaneous nasal defects following wide skin cancer excision. The authors reconstructed small- to medium-sized nasal defects ranging from 1×1 to 2.5×2.5 cm 2 with a mean size of 1.2×1.1 cm 2 using either a conventional keystone flap or its modification, including the Omega variant and rotation Hemi-keystone flap. All patients were satisfied with the esthetic outcomes. Keystone flaps are a versatile option for reconstructing the nose after cancer surgery. This strategy obviates the need for a bilobed flap after cancer removal in the nose."

Interestingly, gastrointestinal microbiome composition has emerged as a predictive biomarker of immunotherapy outcomes. This review seeks to assess the effect of microbiota-modulatory interventions on the clinical and immunological response of metastatic melanoma treated with ICIs. A systematic search was performed to retrieve studies and cases involving any microbiota-modulating intervention. Three studies assessed the effect of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on ICI efficacy, and one case report assessed its effect on clearance of ICI-associated colitis. Overall, 37.5% of melanoma patients who had been previously refractory to ICI immunotherapy demonstrated complete or partial response following FMT and subsequent immunotherapy. 65% of immunotherapy-na&iuml;ve melanoma patients demonstrated an objective response. No severe FMT-associated adverse events were reported, and FMT depicted efficacy in the remission of ICI-associated colitis. The results suggest that FMT may be a safe and moderately effective microbiota-modulating intervention to improve the efficacy of therapy in ICI-treated melanoma patients. Large, randomized, controlled trials are needed to determine optimal FMT donors and assess other microbiota-modulating interventions, such as pre- and probiotics, in melanoma patients.&nbsp; J Drugs Dermatol. 2024;23(2):78-84.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; doi:10.36849/JDD.7674."

She developed local recurrence in 2010 and underwent anterior tracheal local recurrence resection in May 2017. Subsequently, metastases were confirmed in the lateral cervical lymph nodes, but the patient only received TSH suppression because of her advanced age. Multiple pulmonary metastases developed in November 2020 and supraclavicular lymph node metastases in July 2021, but the patient was under the care of a visiting physician on best supportive care. The patient was referred to our hospital in January 2022 due to the appearance of a cutaneous mass in the sternal incision area, which gradually increased in size. A well-mobile, well-defined, spherical mass was found in the sternotomy area. The maximum diameter was 19 mm. The cytological findings were consistent with cutaneous metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma. As the patient was elderly and had multiple pulmonary metastases, she was temporarily observed. However, by June 2022, the mass had increased from 19 mm to 33 mm with cutaneous discoloration. There was no tendency for multiple pulmonary metastases to grow during this period. The decision was made to operate in order to prevent a decline in quality of life due to self-destruction of the cutaneous metastasis. The tumor was removed under general anesthesia, including the cutaneous discoloration, and reconstructed with a rhomboid skin flap. Post-operatively, there was no local recurrence or significant increase in pulmonary metastases. It is suggested that resection of cutaneous metastasis of malignant tumors may be effective in preserving quality of life even in a 100-year-old elderly patient like the present case and should be considered as an indication."

The findings of biopsy from the lesion suggested skin infiltration of anal canal carcinoma, and the patient was referred to the Department of Surgery. Examination here revealed only induration of the anal canal, with no abnormality of the rectal mucosa even when the endoscope was reversed to visualize the rectum. Examination by various imaging modalities failed to reveal any metastases to the lymph nodes or distant organs, and the primary lesion remained unidentified. Laparoscopic abdominoperineal excision of the rectum was performed, beginning with anal manipulation. First, a 15-mm margin was set on the skin from the tumor edge, and the skin stump was divided into 4 equal portions. After confirming by rapid intraoperative frozen-section examination that the margin was negative along the full circumference, anal manipulation was performed, leaving a distance in the vertical direction immediately below the tumor. Upon completion of the anal manipulation, intraperitoneal manipulation was performed in a routine manner. The anal skin was relaxed subcutaneously, as done during mastectomy, and the subsequent suture closure could be done smoothly. The tumor was classified as pT1bN0M0, pStage Ⅰ. The experience with this case indicates that biopsy should be proactively employed for the diagnosis in such cases, and that proactive skin biopsy is useful when dealing with intractable anal skin lesions."

Although global APA dysregulation is frequently associated with poor prognosis, the importance of most individual APA events is controversial simply because few have been functionally studied. Here, we address this gap by developing a CRISPR-Cas9-based screen to manipulate endogenous polyadenylation and systematically quantify how APA events contribute to tumor growth in vivo. Our screen reveals individual APA events that control mouse melanoma growth in an immunocompetent host, with concordant associations in clinical human cancer. For example, forced Atg7 3' UTR lengthening in mouse melanoma suppresses ATG7 protein levels, slows tumor growth, and improves host survival; similarly, in clinical human melanoma, a long ATG7 3' UTR is associated with significantly prolonged patient survival. Overall, our study provides an easily adaptable means to functionally dissect APA in physiological systems and directly quantifies the contributions of recurrent APA events to tumorigenic phenotypes."

This condition can be notably debilitating, exerting a predominant impact on the clinical, functional and psychosocial domains of health. With prevalence rates of HFS, ranging from 43% to 71%, there exists an unmet need among palliative care physicians to comprehend this syndrome in addressing physical, psychological dimensions and its integrated management within healthcare. This understanding enables them to adopt diverse approaches aimed at preserving the quality of life for patients, by enhancing the overall healthcare experience. Our primary objective is to underscore the imperative for the high-quality integration of palliative care with respect to HFS in contemporary oncology practices. We aim to achieve this by providing evidence-based insights to enhance patient outcomes.The intent of this study: (1) The article delves into the range of symptoms linked to HFS, and stresses the necessity of a holistic strategy and the difference that a palliative physician can contribute during cancer treatment-in picking up certain intricate aspects of patient care and addressing them. (2) The article also highlights the comprehensive approach through the incorporation of quality-of-life assessments, with the goal of enhancing patient outcomes, overall care experience within an integrated healthcare framework."

+8257,skin cancer,38301881,Pholiotic acid promotes apoptosis in human metastatic melanoma cells.,"Mushrooms produce a great variety of secondary metabolites that can be successful in both prevention and treatment of various cancers. In particular, higher Basidiomycete mushrooms contain various types of biologically active low-molecular compounds in fruiting bodies with suggested anticarcinogenic effects. The polyamine analogue {(2R)-2-[(S)-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryloxy] putrescine dicinnamamide} indicated with the name pholiotic acid, isolated for the first time by us from the fruiting bodies of the Basidiomycete Pholiota spumosa (Fr.) Sing. (Strophariaceae), inhibited the viability of human prostate cancer cells, such as other polyamine synthetic analogues that have shown antitumor activity in several types of cancer, including melanoma. Melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer that can metastasize to other organs and presents a high resistance to conventional therapies. In light of these considerations, the present study was therefore designed to assess whether this putrescine derivative could inhibit the growth of human metastatic melanoma cell lines, M14 and A2058. The results obtained demonstrate that this natural compound, at 12.5-50 μM concentration, was able to reduce cell viability of both cancer cells inducing cell death by intrinsic apoptotic pathway that probably involves PTEN activity, inhibition of Hsp70 expression and reactive oxygen species production. On the other hand, the increased expression of enzymes involved in polyamine catabolism trigger apoptotic cell death leading to polyamine depletion and generation of reactive oxygen species as by-products. In conclusion, these findings, starting point for further investigation, implement available our data to support pholiotic acid as an attractive potential chemopreventive agent, and provide a basis for further research into the use of this polyamine derivative as potential anticancer agent for melanoma in combination with existing therapies to improve treatment efficacy and overcome the obstacle of drug resistance."
+8258,skin cancer,38301860,Malignancies with a tendency to metastasize to the eyelid or ocular structures.,"Metastatic tumors to the eye and eyelid are generally seen in patients with disseminated metastases in the setting of advanced disease. Occasionally, they can present as the first sign of occult malignancy. The choroid is the most common site of intraocular metastases secondary to its dense vascular supply. Similar to the eye, metastatic tumors to the eyelid can present with a variety of clinical findings and are most often seen in patients with a known history of cancer. The most common skin malignancy that can spread to ocular structures is cutaneous melanoma, whereas the most common noncutaneous malignancy is breast cancer followed by lung cancer. In pediatric patients, metastatic disease to the eye is rare and can be seen in neuroblastoma and Ewing sarcoma. The overall prognosis of metastatic lesions involving the eye and eyelid is typically poor, with a mean survival of months. Ophthalmologists play an important role in the diagnosis of metastatic disease of the eye and eyelid; therefore, it is imperative for patients to undergo a complete ophthalmic examination and systemic workup if they have new-onset vision changes and a known history of cancer. Early diagnosis and management with systemic and local therapies can maximize quality of life and preserve vision."
+8259,skin cancer,38301646,SMARCAL1 is a dual regulator of innate immune signaling and PD-L1 expression that promotes tumor immune evasion.,"Genomic instability can trigger cancer-intrinsic innate immune responses that promote tumor rejection. However, cancer cells often evade these responses by overexpressing immune checkpoint regulators, such as PD-L1. Here, we identify the SNF2-family DNA translocase SMARCAL1 as a factor that favors tumor immune evasion by a dual mechanism involving both the suppression of innate immune signaling and the induction of PD-L1-mediated immune checkpoint responses. Mechanistically, SMARCAL1 limits endogenous DNA damage, thereby suppressing cGAS-STING-dependent signaling during cancer cell growth. Simultaneously, it cooperates with the AP-1 family member JUN to maintain chromatin accessibility at a PD-L1 transcriptional regulatory element, thereby promoting PD-L1 expression in cancer cells. SMARCAL1 loss hinders the ability of tumor cells to induce PD-L1 in response to genomic instability, enhances anti-tumor immune responses and sensitizes tumors to immune checkpoint blockade in a mouse melanoma model. Collectively, these studies uncover SMARCAL1 as a promising target for cancer immunotherapy."

Despite notable progress in skin cancer prevention and diagnosis, the limitations of existing methods accentuate the demand for precise diagnostic tools. Biosensors have emerged as valuable clinical tools, enabling rapid and reliable point-of-care (POC) testing of skin cancer. This review offers insights into skin cancer development, highlights essential cutaneous melanoma biomarkers, and assesses the current landscape of biosensing technologies for diagnosis. The comprehensive analysis in this review underscores the transformative potential of biosensors in revolutionizing melanoma skin cancer diagnosis, emphasizing their critical role in advancing patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency. The increasing availability of these approaches supports direct diagnosis and aims to reduce the reliance on biopsies, enhancing POC diagnosis. Recent advancements in biosensors for skin cancer diagnosis hold great promise, with their integration into healthcare expected to enhance early detection accuracy and reliability, thereby mitigating socioeconomic disparities."
+8261,skin cancer,38301413,Peptide nanovaccine in melanoma immunotherapy.,"Melanoma is an especially fatal neoplasm resistant to traditional treatment. The advancement of novel therapeutical approaches has gained attention in recent years by shedding light on the molecular mechanisms of melanoma tumorigenesis and their powerful interplay with the immune system. The presence of many mutations in melanoma cells results in the production of a varied array of antigens. These antigens can be recognized by the immune system, thereby enabling it to distinguish between tumors and healthy cells. In the context of peptide cancer vaccines, generally, they are designed based on tumor antigens that stimulate immunity through antigen-presenting cells (APCs). As naked peptides often have low potential in eliciting a desirable immune reaction, immunization with such compounds usually necessitates adjuvants and nanocarriers. Actually, nanoparticles (NPs) can provide a robust immune response to peptide-based melanoma vaccines. They improve the directing of peptide vaccines to APCs and induce the secretion of cytokines to get maximum immune response. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge of the utilization of nanotechnology in peptide vaccines emphasizing melanoma, as well as highlights the significance of physicochemical properties in determining the fate of these nanovaccines in vivo, including their drainage to lymph nodes, cellular uptake, and influence on immune responses."

WHICH PATIENTS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR COVERAGE? Opdualag should only be covered to treat patients aged 12 years or older who have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of unresectable stage III or stage IV (metastatic) melanoma and have not received prior systemic therapy for advanced melanoma. Patients should be in relatively good health (i.e., have a good performance status, as determined by a specialist). WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS FOR REIMBURSEMENT? Patients who had prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant anti–programmed death-1 (PD-1) or anti–cytotoxic T-lymphocyte–associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) therapy if the therapy was completed at least 6 months before the date of recurrence are eligible for reimbursement. Opdualag should not be reimbursed in patients with active brain metastases, uveal melanoma, and active autoimmune disease. Opdualag should only be reimbursed if the price of Opdualag is reduced. The feasibility of adoption of Opdualag must also be addressed. WHY DID CADTH MAKE THIS RECOMMENDATION? Evidence from a clinical trial (RELATIVITY-047) demonstrated that treatment with Opdualag when compared with nivolumab monotherapy resulted in added clinical benefit in patients with previously untreated, histologically confirmed, unresectable stage III or stage IV (metastatic) melanoma. Opdualag met some of the identified patient needs, such as an additional treatment option that is effective in terms reducing the risk of cancer growing, spreading, or getting worse (progression-free survival) and has manageable adverse events. CADTH’s assessment of the health economic analysis found that there was insufficient evidence to justify a price premium for Opdualag over nivolumab and ipilimumab combination therapy. The total drug cost of Opdualag therefore should not exceed the total drug cost of nivolumab and ipilimumab. Based on the sponsor’s submitted price and public list prices for the comparators, the 3-year budget impact of Opdualag is estimated to be $34,304,588."

+8264,skin cancer,38300709,The CoREST repressor complex mediates phenotype switching and therapy resistance in melanoma.,"Virtually all patients with BRAF-mutant melanoma develop resistance to MAPK inhibitors largely through nonmutational events. Although the epigenetic landscape is shown to be altered in therapy-resistant melanomas and other cancers, a specific targetable epigenetic mechanism has not been validated. Here, we evaluated the corepressor for element 1-silencing transcription factor (CoREST) epigenetic repressor complex and the recently developed bivalent inhibitor corin within the context of melanoma phenotype plasticity and therapeutic resistance. We found that CoREST was a critical mediator of the major distinct melanoma phenotypes and that corin treatment of melanoma cells led to phenotype reprogramming. Global assessment of transcript and chromatin changes conferred by corin revealed specific effects on histone marks connected to epithelial-mesenchymal transition-associated (EMT-associated) transcription factors and the dual-specificity phosphatases (DUSPs). Remarkably, treatment of BRAF inhibitor-resistant (BRAFi-R) melanomas with corin promoted resensitization to BRAFi therapy. DUSP1 was consistently downregulated in BRAFi-R melanomas, which was reversed by corin treatment and associated with inhibition of p38 MAPK activity and resensitization to BRAFi therapies. Moreover, this activity was recapitulated by the p38 MAPK inhibitor BIRB 796. These findings identify the CoREST repressor complex as a central mediator of melanoma phenotype plasticity and resistance to targeted therapy and suggest that CoREST inhibitors may prove beneficial for patients with BRAFi-resistant melanoma."

The COX-2/PGE2 axis is considered a key player in shaping the immunosuppression microenvironment. However, targeted modulation of the postoperative tumor microenvironment is challenging. To specifically curb the inflammation and alleviate immunosuppression, here, we developed a PGE2 inhibitor celecoxib (CXB)-loaded bionic nanoparticle (CP@CM) coated with activated murine vascular endothelial cell (C166 cells) membrane to target postoperative melanoma and inhibit its recurrence. CP@CM adhered to inflammatory white blood cells (WBCs) through the adhesion molecules, including ICAM-1, VCAM-1, E-selectin, and P-selection, expressed on the surface of C166 cells. Leveraging the natural tropism of the WBC to the inflammatory postoperative tumor site, CP@CM efficiently targeted postoperative tumors. In melanoma postoperative recurrence models, CXB significantly reduced PGE2 secretion and the recruitment of immunosuppressive cells such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and regulatory T cells (Treg) by inhibiting the activity of COX-2. This was followed by an increase in the infiltration of CD8"

In the present study, we demonstrate how only prenatal arsenic exposure disturbs keratinocyte stem cell (KSC) conditioning using a BALB/c mice model. Prenatal As exposure alters the normal stemness (CD34, KRT5), differentiation (Involucrin), and proliferation (PCNA) program in skin of offspring with progression of age as observed at 2, 10, and 18 weeks. Primary KSCs isolated from exposed animal at Day-2 showed increased survival (Bax:Bcl-xL, TUNEL assay), proliferation (BrdU), and differentiation (KRT5, Involucrin) potential through the activation of pro-carcinogenic IGF2R-MAPK cascade (IGF2R-G(α)q-MEK1-ERK1/2). This was associated with reduced enrichment of histone H3K27me3 and its methylase, EZH2 along with increased binding of demethylase, KDM6A at Igf2r promoter. Altered KSCs conditioning through disturbed Igf2r imprint contributed to impaired proliferation and differentiation and an aggravated tumor response in offspring."

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is linked to chronic ultraviolet exposure, which suggests that the photoreceptor RGR may be associated with tumorigenesis and progression of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). However, the expression and function of RGR remain uncharacterized in SCC. This study analysed RGR expression in normal skin and in lesions of actinic keratosis, Bowen's disease and invasive SCC of the skin with respect to SCC initiation and development. A total of 237 samples (normal skin (n = 28), actinic keratosis (n = 42), Bowen's (n = 35) and invasive SCC (n = 132) lesions) were examined using immunohistochemistry. Invasive SCC samples had higher expression of RGR protein than the other samples. A high immunohistochemical score for RGR was associated with increased tumour size, tumour depth, Clark level, factor classification, and degree of differentiation and a more aggressive histological subtype. In addition, RGR expression was inversely correlated with involucrin expression and positively correlated with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Ki67 expression. Furthermore, RGR regulates SCC cell differentiation through the PI3K-Akt signalling pathway, as determined using molecular biology approaches in vitro, suggesting that high expression of RGR is associated with aberrant proliferation and differentiation in SCC."

However, almost half of patients fail to respond to treatment, or relapse sooner or later after the initial response to therapy. Little is known about the reasons for these failures. The identification of biomarkers seems necessary to better understand this resistance. Among these biomarkers, HLA-DR, a component of MHC II and abnormally expressed in certain tumor types including melanoma for unknown reasons, seems to be an interesting marker. The aim of this review, prepared by an interdisciplinary group of experts, is to take stock of the current literature on the potential interest of HLA-DR expression in melanoma as a predictive biomarker of ICI outcome."

They are one of the most frequently excised pediatric skin masses. A typical clinical presentation is a slow growing, painless, firm, superficial mass in the head and neck of a child. We present a rare presentation of PM. A preschool aged girl presented with an enlarging scalp mass following a history of minor blunt trauma to the area. Two months prior, the child sustained a ground level fall and subsequently developed a painless ""bump"" at the site of injury on the scalp. The ``bump"" was initially the size of a ""mosquito bite"" and enlarged to the size of a ""ping pong ball"". Given the rapid progression and history of trauma, there was a broad differential diagnosis. An extensive workup including sonography, computed tomography, MRI, and biopsy were performed. The final pathologic diagnosis was confirmed as pilomatricoma. An atypical presentation of PM in a child can mimic a wide variety of pathology. Our case demonstrates unusual features of rapid enlargement and preceding trauma. With the widespread use of sonography for evaluation of superficial lesions, the radiologist may be the first to suspect the diagnosis of PM.

We are reporting a case of a 46-year-old female patient who presented with a palpable lump in her left breast not associated with pain, pruritis, or change of skin color. An open biopsy revealed a mass of about 20 x 25 mm of fleshy, white tan with a lobular configuration and necrosis. The histopathological examination revealed cells with cytoplasmic granularity arranged in a microglandular pattern and a solid pattern, and the case was initially reported as ACC. The most remarkable feature was the presence of small and large, brightly eosinophilic cytoplasmic granules, and some cells are clear or multivacuolated, resembling lipoblasts. Cellular pleomorphism and anaplasia are very mild, and the mitotic activity was very low. The tumor showed a scant and vascularized stroma in the area of hyalinization. Small clusters of lymphoid infiltration in the stroma were seen. Histochemical stains revealed that the acinar cells in ACC contain abundant diastase-resistant, periodic acid Schiff (PAS)-positive cytoplasmic granules. Mucicarmine and Alcian blue were negative. The immunohistochemistry workup revealed that the case was positive for discovered on gastrointestinal stromal tumors-1 (DOG-1) and the positivity pattern ranged from apical membranous, cytoplasmic, and complete membranous. In addition, the tumor cells were positive for low-molecular-weight cytokeratin, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA). The FISH workup for the ETV6-NTRK3 fusion was negative, arguing against secretory carcinoma (SC). A diagnosis of acinar cell carcinoma of the breast is very rare, and the presence of cytoplasmic granules is helpful for its diagnosis. In the absence of these granules, the diagnosis is very difficult, and other diagnoses will be put in the differential diagnosis, particularly SC, lactating adenosis, and microglandular adenosis. Immunohistochemical and histochemical stains and genetic workups will support the diagnosis of ACC."

+8284,skin cancer,38297977,Determination of correlations in multivariate count data with informative observation times.,"We consider there are various types of recurrent events and the total number of occurrences are collected at the random observation times. It has concerned that the observation process may not be independent to the multivariate event processes, hence the total counts and observation times may be correlated and the dependence may exist among different types of the event processes as well. Many methods have developed nonparametric models to accommodate such unknown structures; however, it is difficult to assess and directly quantify their correlation relationships. A multivariate frailty model is proposed to this study, in which the event and observation processes are linked by frailty variables whose joint distribution can be implicitly specified through the multivariate normal distribution with some unknown covariance matrix. The Bayesian inference method is conducted to obtain the estimates of the regression coefficients and correlation parameters. We use a form of trigonometric functions to represent the covariance matrix, so that it meets the positive-definiteness condition efficiently during the estimation schemes. The simulation studies demonstrate the utility of the proposed models. We apply the model to a skin cancer prevention study, and aim to determine the covariate and association effects. We found treatment is significant in determining the duration of examination times; prior-counts, age and gender are significant variables on the occurrence rates of tumor counts. Using the covariance matrix to access the underlying dependent structure, the mutual correlations among them are all positive, and the basal cell counts are more related to the examination times."

In general, local flaps provide cosmetic outcomes that are better than those following skin grafts, but there are no published comparative studies on Asians. To determine whether local flaps or skin grafts may optimally be used to reconstruct external nasal defects among Asians. We retrospectively collected data on patients who underwent external nasal tumour resection and reconstruction by 14 plastic surgeons in eight Japanese institutes from 2009 to 2021. The cosmetic results were scored by 14 surgeons using anonymized preoperative and six-month postoperative photographs. Scores for each reconstruction method were statistically evaluated. In total, 86 cases were enrolled; 57 received local flaps and 29 received skin grafts. Most local flaps showed better outcomes compared to skin grafts, but this was not the case for nasolabial and forehead flaps. Notably, local flaps placed in the nasal ala tended to be less successful than flaps placed elsewhere; only the bilobed flap scored better than skin grafts. The defect site did not affect the results of skin grafts. For Asians requiring nasal reconstruction, local flaps provide better cosmetic outcomes than skin grafts, except for those in the nasal ala. Skin grafts may be a good alternative when the bilobed flap is unavailable for the nasal ala."

MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched on October 27th, 2021 and eight articles were identified for review. Quality assessment was conducted using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale. Seven articles were included in meta-analysis for a pooled estimate of IRR across all skin cancers, malignant melanoma (MM), and non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC). In total, 74,860 CD patients were followed for 710,214 person-years in the meta-analysis. Overall combined incidence was 99.8 cases per 100,000 person-years. Meta-analysis of all skin cancer incidence showed no significant difference in CD patients compared to controls (IRR: 1.06; 95% CI: 0.95, 1.17; p=0.29; I2: 0%). Five studies reported on MM incidence; there was no significant difference in incidence compared to controls (IRR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.72, 1.06; p=0.22; I2: 9%). Five studies reported on NMSC incidence, revealing a significantly increased risk of NMSC in CD patients (IRR: 1.14; 95% CI: 1.01, 1.28; p=0.04; I2: 0%). Our findings suggest a significantly increased incidence of NMSC in CD patients compared to control data and no significant association between CD and MM incidence. The findings are limited by the quantity and quality of the evidence. Nonetheless, clinicians should emphasize the importance of sun protection, such as sunscreen usage and self-examination for patients with CD."

We focused on articles describing the role and use of artificial intelligence in melanoma recognition between 2017 and 2022, using the following MeSH terms: ""melanoma,"" ""diagnosis,"" and ""artificial intelligence"". Traditional machine learning algorithms comprise different parts which must preprocess, segment, extract features and classify the lesion into benign or malignant. Deep learning algorithms can perform these steps simultaneously, which significantly enhances efficiency. Convolutional neural networks include a convolutional layer, a pooling layer, and a fully connected layer. Convolutional and pooling layers extract features from the lesion and reduce computational power, whereas fully connected layers classify the image into two or more categories. Additionally, we suggest that further studies should be performed to accelerate the clinical implementation of artificial intelligence, to create comprehensive datasets and to generate explainable algorithms."
+8292,skin cancer,38297922,Review of the European Society for Photodynamic Therapy (Euro-PDT) Annual Congress 2022.,"This article reviews the 2022 European Society for Photodynamic Therapy (Euro-PDT) Annual Congress. PDT has been investigated for the treatment of a broad number of oncologic, infectious and inflammatory indications. New studies confirm the potential for wider use of topical PDT for acne and photoaging, as well as several uncommon conditions including tinea capitis, Mycobacterium marinum, cutaneous alternariosis, resistant acral warts, eyelid Bowen's disease, mycosis fungoides, pseudolymphoma, and graft-versus-host disease. Hidradenitis suppurativa patients may also benefit from intra-lesional PDT. Several methods of delivering PDT have been validated, including conventional, daylight and artificial daylight PDT. Light-emitting fabrics have emerged as an innovative solution to the delivery of uniform light over the scalp as well as anatomically-challenging sites, with opportunities now to control and monitor these devices via mobile phone applications. Pre-treatment of patients with thicker, more difficult-to-treat actinic keratoses (AK) with calcitriol appears to be a practical approach to increasing efficacy, although this is associated with increased local skin reactions. Sequential treatment of AK and photoaging with daylight-PDT and injectable NASHA gel indicates that these two therapeutic approaches offer complementary effects. Potential biomarkers may help predict responsiveness of patients with field cancerization and AK receiving daylight PDT. Over-expression of the proto-oncogene, Myc, has been observed in poor responders, whilst the tumour suppressor gene, PTEN, showed under-expression. The potential for use and methods of delivery of topical PDT for dermatological indications continue to expand the enhanced choice of treatment offered to patients."

+8296,skin cancer,38296842,A prediction model for response to immune checkpoint inhibition in advanced melanoma.,"Predicting who will benefit from treatment with immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) in patients with advanced melanoma is challenging. We developed a multivariable prediction model for response to ICI, using routinely available clinical data including primary melanoma characteristics. We used a population-based cohort of 3525 patients with advanced cutaneous melanoma treated with anti-PD-1-based therapy. Our prediction model for predicting response within 6 months after ICI initiation was internally validated with bootstrap resampling. Performance evaluation included calibration, discrimination and internal-external cross-validation. Included patients received anti-PD-1 monotherapy (n = 2366) or ipilimumab plus nivolumab (n = 1159) in any treatment line. The model included serum lactate dehydrogenase, World Health Organization performance score, type and line of ICI, disease stage and time to first distant recurrence-all at start of ICI-, and location and type of primary melanoma, the presence of satellites and/or in-transit metastases at primary diagnosis and sex. The over-optimism adjusted area under the receiver operating characteristic was 0.66 (95% CI: 0.64-0.66). The range of predicted response probabilities was 7%-81%. Based on these probabilities, patients were categorized into quartiles. Compared to the lowest response quartile, patients in the highest quartile had a significantly longer median progression-free survival (20.0 vs 2.8 months; P < .001) and median overall survival (62.0 vs 8.0 months; P < .001). Our prediction model, based on routinely available clinical variables and primary melanoma characteristics, predicts response to ICI in patients with advanced melanoma and discriminates well between treated patients with a very good and very poor prognosis."

Although surgery is often effective in early-stage disease, skin tumors are not always easily accessible, can reoccur and have the ability to metastasize. More recently, immunotherapies, including intravenously administered checkpoint inhibitors, have been shown to control some skin cancers, but with off-target toxicities when used in combination. Our study investigated whether peritumoral administration of an antibody combination targeting PD-1, 4-1BB (CD137) and VISTA might control skin tumors and lead to circulating antitumor immunity without off-target toxicity."

Apart from providing an air-permeable and moist environment, these hydrogels optimize the inflammatory microenvironment of the wounds. These properties make gelatin-based hydrogels highly competitive in the field of wound dressings. In this study, a series of composite hydrogels were prepared using gelatin (Gel) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh) as primary materials, glutaraldehyde as a crosslinker, and aloe vera juice as an anti-inflammatory component. The properties of the hydrogel, including its rheological properties, microscopic structures, mechanical properties, swelling ratios, thermal stability, antibacterial properties, and biocompatibility, were investigated. The results demonstrate that the gelatin-based hydrogels exhibit good elasticity and rapid self-healing ability. The hydrogels exhibited slight shear behavior, which is advantageous for skin care applications. Furthermore, the inclusion of aloe vera juice into the hydrogel resulted in a dense structure, improved mechanical properties and enhanced swelling ratio. The Gel/CMCh/Aloe hydrogels tolerate a compressive strength similar to that of human skin. Moreover, the hydrogels displayed excellent cytocompatibility with HFF-1 cells, and exhibited antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus. Lomefloxacin was used as a model drug to study the releasing behavior of the Gel/CMCh/aloe hydrogels. The results showed that the drug was released rapidly at the initial stage, and could continue to be released for 12 h, the maximum releasing rate exceeded 20 %. These findings suggest that the gelatin-based hydrogels hold great promise as effective wound dressings."
+8306,skin cancer,38296020,Fusion between an Algorithm Based on the Characterization of Melanocytic Lesions' Asymmetry with an Ensemble of Convolutional Neural Networks for Melanoma Detection.,"Melanoma is still a major health problem worldwide. Early diagnosis is the first step toward reducing its mortality, but it remains a challenge even for experienced dermatologists. Although computer-aided systems have been developed to help diagnosis, the lack of insight into their predictions is still a significant limitation toward acceptance by the medical community. To tackle this issue, we designed handcrafted expert features representing color asymmetry within the lesions, which are parts of the approach used by dermatologists in their daily practice. These features are given to an artificial neural network classifying between nevi and melanoma. We compare our results with an ensemble of 7 state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks and merge the 2 approaches by computing the average prediction. Our experiments are done on a subset of the International Skin Imaging Collaboration 2019 dataset (6296 nevi, 1361 melanomas). The artificial neural network based on asymmetry achieved an area under the curve of 0.873, sensitivity of 90%, and specificity of 67%; the convolutional neural network approach achieved an area under the curve of 0.938, sensitivity of 91%, and specificity of 82%; and the fusion of both approaches achieved an area under the curve of 0.942, sensitivity of 92%, and specificity of 82%. Merging the knowledge of dermatologists with convolutional neural networks showed high performance for melanoma detection, encouraging collaboration between computer science and medical fields."

Ipilimumab plus nivolumab has achieved the best median overall survival, exceeding 70 months. However, the introduction of new ICIs, like relatlimab, has added complexity to first-line therapy decisions. Our aim is to guide clinicians in making personalized treatment decisions. Various features, including brain metastases, PD-L1 expression, BRAF mutation, performance status, and prior adjuvant therapy, significantly impact the direction of advanced melanoma treatment. We also provide the latest insights into the treatment of rare melanoma subtypes, such as uveal melanoma, where tebentafusp has shown promising improvements in overall survival for metastatic uveal melanoma patients.

However, only some patients respond to ICIs, and current biomarkers for ICI efficacy have limited performance. Here, we devised an interpretable machine learning (ML) model trained using patient-specific cell-cell communication networks (CCNs) decoded from the patient's bulk tumor transcriptome. The model could (i) predict ICI efficacy for patients across four cancer types (median AUROC: 0.79) and (ii) identify key communication pathways with crucial players responsible for patient response or resistance to ICIs by analyzing more than 700 ICI-treated patient samples from 11 cohorts. The model prioritized chemotaxis communication of immune-related cells and growth factor communication of structural cells as the key biological processes underlying response and resistance to ICIs, respectively. We confirmed the key communication pathways and players at the single-cell level in patients with melanoma. Our network-based ML approach can be used to expand ICIs' clinical benefits in cancer patients."

Here, we demonstrate that the thiazolidinedione (TZD) rosiglitazone, a drug commonly used to treat diabetes by sequestering fatty acids in metabolically inert subcutaneous adipose tissue, improved sensitivity to anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) treatment in YUMMER1.7 tumor-bearing mice, an initially immunotherapy-sensitive murine melanoma model. We observed a transition from high to intermediate PD-1 expression in tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells. Moreover, TZD inhibited PD-1 expression in mouse and human T cells treated in vitro. In addition to its direct impact on immune cells, TZD also decreased circulating insulin concentrations, while insulin induced T cell exhaustion in culture. In TZD-treated mice, we observed higher fatty acid concentrations in the tumor microenvironment, with fatty acids protecting against exhaustion in culture. Together, these data are consistent with an indirect mechanism of TZD inhibiting T cell exhaustion. Finally, we analyzed imaging data from patients with melanoma before and after anti-PD-1 treatment, confirming the beneficial effect of increased subcutaneous fat on anti-PD-1 responsiveness in patients. We also found that the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), the canonical activator of lipid uptake and adipogenesis activated by TZD, correlated with overall survival time. Taken together, these data identify a new adjuvant to enhance immunotherapy efficacy in YUMMER1.7 melanoma mice, and discover a new metabolism-based prognostic marker in human melanoma."

However, it remains unclear whether there are oncogene-specific calcium homeostasis regulations that can expose novel therapeutic targets. Here, from RNAi screen, we report that adenosylhomocysteinase like protein 1 (AHCYL1), a suppressor of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium channel protein inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R), is selectively upregulated and critical for cell proliferation and tumor growth potential of human NRAS-mutated melanoma, but not for melanoma expressing BRAF V600E. Mechanistically, AHCYL1 deficiency results in decreased ER calcium levels, activates the unfolded protein response (UPR), and triggers downstream apoptosis. In addition, we show that AHCYL1 transcription is regulated by activating transcription factor 2 (ATF2) in NRAS-mutated melanoma. Our work provides evidence for oncogene-specific calcium regulations and suggests AHCYL1 as a novel therapeutic target for RAS mutant-expressing human cancers, including melanoma."

This study aimed to evaluate the hair loss and skin changes in Asian BC patients and to compare them according to the treatment regimens. This study enrolled 322 patients scheduled to undergo BC surgery. Hair loss and skin changes were assessed at the following two time points: one day before surgery and 6 months after surgery. Patients who had received systemic anticancer treatment before surgery were assigned to the neoadjuvant treatment group, while patients who were scheduled to receive systemic anticancer treatment were assigned to the adjuvant treatment group. In the adjuvant treatment group, patients with taxane-based chemotherapy had significantly higher odds of increased hair loss, a higher melanin index, and an increased volume of wrinkles (p < 0.0001, p = 0.0110, and p = 0.0371, respectively). In the neoadjuvant treatment group, hair loss was reversed in most patients at 6 months after surgery.

+8321,skin cancer,38293578,ArsenicSkinImageBD: A comprehensive image dataset to classify affected and healthy skin of arsenic-affected people.,"Compared to other popular research domains, dermatology got less attention among machine learning researchers. One of the main concerns for this problem is an inadequate dataset since collecting samples from the human body is very sensitive. In recent years, arsenic has emerged as a significant issue for dermatologists. Arsenic is a highly toxic substance found in the earth's crust whose small amounts can be very injurious to the human body. People who are exposed to arsenic for a long time through water and food can get cancer and skin lesions. With a view to contributing to this aspect, this dataset has been organized with the help of which the researchers can understand the impact of this contamination and design a solution using artificial intelligence. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first standard, easy-to-use, and open dataset of arsenic diseases. The images were collected from four places in Bangladesh, under the Department of Public Health Engineering, Chapainawabganj, where they are working on arsenic contamination. The dataset has 8892 skin images, with half of them showing people with arsenic effects and the other half showing mixed skin images that are not affected by arsenic. This makes the dataset useful for treating people with arsenic-related conditions. Eventually, this dataset can attract the attention of not only the machine learning researchers, but also scientists, doctors, and other professionals in the associated research field."

+8345,skin cancer,38290565,Enhancing cell pyroptosis with biomimetic nanoparticles for melanoma chemo-immunotherapy.,"Despite the fact that immunotherapy has significantly improved the prognosis of melanoma patients, the non-response rate of monoimmunotherapy is considerably high due to insufficient tumor immunogenicity. Therefore, it is necessary to develop alternative methods of combination therapy with enhanced antitumor efficiency and less systemic toxicity. In this study, we reported a cancer cell membrane-coated zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) encapsulating pyroptosis-inducer oxaliplatin (OXA) and immunomodulator imiquimod (R837) for chemoimmunotherapy. With the assistance of DNA methyltransferase inhibitor decitabine (DCT), upregulated Gasdermin E (GSDME) was cleaved by OXA-activated caspase-3, further inducing tumor cell pyroptosis, then localized antitumor immunity was enhanced by immune adjuvant R837, followed by triggering systemic antitumor immune responses. These results provided a proof-of-concept for the use of cell membrane-coated biomimetic nanoparticles as a promising drug carrier of combination therapy and a potential insight for pyroptosis-based melanoma chemo-immunotherapy."

However, patterns of communication at the single-cell level have not been systematically investigated. In this study, we employed social network analysis tools, pattern recognition, and manifold learning to compare molecular communication features between psoriasis cells and normal skin cells. Utilizing a process that facilitates the discovery of cell type-specific regulons, we analyzed internal regulatory networks among different cells in psoriasis. Advanced techniques for the quantitative detection of non-targeted proteins in pathological tissue sections were employed to demonstrate protein expression. Our findings revealed a synergistic interplay among the communication signals of immune cells in psoriasis. B-cells were activated, while Langerhans cells shifted into the primary signaling output mode to fulfill antigen presentation, mediating T-cell immunity. In contrast to normal skin cells, psoriasis cells shut down numerous signaling pathways, influencing the balance of skin cell renewal and differentiation. Additionally, we identified a significant number of active cell type-specific regulons of resident immune cells around the hair follicle. This study unveiled the molecular communication features of the hair follicle cell-psoriasis axis, showcasing its potential for therapeutic targeting at the single-cell level. By elucidating the pattern of immune cell communication in psoriasis and identifying new molecular features of the hair follicle cell-psoriasis axis, our findings present innovative strategies for drug targeting to enhance psoriasis treatment."

We identified two patients treated with ipilimumab and nivolumab for vaginal melanoma; both were immunonegative for programmed cell death-ligand 1 and wild-type BRAF. Case 1, a 56-year-old female who underwent radical surgery for stage 1 malignant vaginal melanoma, experienced recurrence 15 months postoperatively. She briefly responded to ipilimumab and nivolumab combination therapy before showing disease progression. Tumor shrinkage occurred with nivolumab and local radiotherapy and, 45 months postoperatively, she survives with the melanoma. Case 2, a 50-year-old female, presented with a 4-cm blackish polypoid vaginal tumor with metastatic pelvic lymph nodes. She received ipilimumab and nivolumab combination therapy for stage III unresectable malignant vaginal melanoma. The vaginal tumor shrank after the third course of treatment, and the lymphadenopathy disappeared. The patient underwent radical surgery and is currently disease-free, using nivolumab for maintenance therapy. Both patients had immune-related adverse events coinciding with periods of high therapeutic efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Neoadjuvant therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors and radiotherapy for immune checkpoint inhibitor resensitization may effectively treat advanced or recurrent vaginal melanoma."

Canine oral melanoma (COM) frequently metastasizes, and ncRNA expression under hypoxia may be clinically significant. We aimed to elucidate ncRNA fragments whose expression is altered by hypoxia in COM-derived primary KMeC and metastatic LMeC cell lines using next-generation sequencing to validate these results in qRT-PCR, and then compare expression between metastatic and non-metastatic COM. The NGS analysis and subsequent qRT-PCR validation were performed using hypoxic and normoxic KMeC and LMeC cells, and clinical samples [tumor tissue, plasma, and plasma-derived extracellular vesicles] obtained from dogs with metastatic or non-metastatic melanoma were analyzed with qRT-PCR. Y RNA was significantly decreased in metastatic LMeC cells versus primary KMeC cells in hypoxic and normoxic conditions. The expression of Y RNA was decreased in dogs with metastatic melanoma versus those with non-metastatic melanoma for all clinical sample types, reflecting the pattern found with hypoxia. Receiver operating characteristic analysis demonstrated that Y RNA level is a promising biomarker for discriminating metastatic from non-metastatic melanoma in plasma [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.993, "

Combination treatment (induction chemotherapy) with paclitaxel, carboplatin and cetuximab (PCE) can be effective in head and neck cancer. The present study describes the case of a patient with advanced maxillary sinus cancer that was successfully treated using the PCE regimen. A 69-year-old man presented to the Department of Dentistry and Oral Surgery, Hokuto Hospital (Obihiro, Japan) with left buccal swelling and an irregular mass on the left maxillary gingiva. The lesion filled the ethmoid and maxillary sinus, and destroyed the pterygoid process. Numerous lymph node metastases were suspected in the bilateral cervical region. The patient was diagnosed with left maxillary sinus cancer T4aN2cM0 and treated with PCE. The size of the tumor was markedly reduced after the initial treatment. After six cycles of PCE, bioradiotherapy (BRT; 66 Gy/33 Fr) was performed for the remaining lesion, and a complete response was achieved. Ten months after BRT, the tumor recurred in the anterior wall of the left maxillary sinus, which was treated by partial maxillary resection and split-thickness skin grafting. No local or cervical recurrence was observed 2 years after the surgery. These findings suggested that PCE could be considered as the first step for the treatment of highly advanced malignant tumors in the head and neck."

+8370,skin cancer,38287901,Chemokine profiling of melanoma-macrophage crosstalk identifies CCL8 and CCL15 as prognostic factors in cutaneous melanoma.,"During cancer evolution, tumor cells attract and dynamically interact with monocytes/macrophages. To find biomarkers of disease progression in human melanoma, we used unbiased RNA sequencing and secretome analyses of tumor-macrophage co-cultures. Pathway analysis of genes differentially modulated in human macrophages exposed to melanoma cells revealed a general upregulation of inflammatory hallmark gene sets, particularly chemokines. A selective group of chemokines, including CCL8, CCL15, and CCL20, was actively secreted upon melanoma-macrophage co-culture. Because we previously described the role of CCL20 in melanoma, we focused our study on CCL8 and CCL15 and confirmed that in vitro both chemokines contributed to melanoma survival, proliferation, and 3D invasion through CCR1 signaling. In vivo, both chemokines enhanced primary tumor growth, spontaneous lung metastasis, and circulating tumor cell survival and lung colonization in mouse xenograft models. Finally, we explored the clinical significance of CCL8 and CCL15 expression in human skin melanoma, screening a collection of 67 primary melanoma samples, using multicolor fluorescence and quantitative image analysis of chemokine-chemokine receptor content at the single-cell level. Primary skin melanomas displayed high CCR1 expression, but there was no difference in its level of expression between metastatic and nonmetastatic cases. By contrast, comparative analysis of these two clinically divergent groups showed a highly significant difference in the cancer cell content of CCL8 (p = 0.025) and CCL15 (p < 0.0001). Kaplan-Meier curves showed that a high content of CCL8 or CCL15 in cancer cells correlated with shorter disease-free and overall survival (log-rank test, p < 0.001). Our results highlight the role of CCL8 and CCL15, which are highly induced by melanoma-macrophage interactions in biologically aggressive primary melanomas and could be clinically applicable biomarkers for patient profiling. © 2024 The Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland."

+8373,skin cancer,38287743,Genetic testing for familial melanoma.,"While the average lifetime risk of melanoma worldwide is approximately 3%, those with inherited high-penetrance mutations face an increased lifetime risk of 52-84%. In countries of low melanoma incidence, such as in Southern Europe, familial melanoma genetic testing may be warranted when there are two first degree relatives with a melanoma diagnosis. Testing criteria for high incidence countries such as USA, or with very-high incidence, such as Australia and New Zealand, would require a threshold of 3 to 4 affected family members. A mutation in the most common gene associated with familial melanoma, CDKN2A, is identified in approximately 10-40% of those meeting testing criteria. However, the use of multi-gene panels covering additional less common risk genes can significantly increase the diagnostic yield. Currently, genetic testing for familial melanoma is typically conducted by qualified genetic counsellors, however with increasing demand on testing services and high incidence rate in certain countries, a mainstream model should be considered. With appropriate training, dermatologists are well placed to identify high risk individuals and offer melanoma genetic test in dermatology clinics. Genetic testing should be given in conjunction with pre- and post-test consultation. Informed patient consent should cover possible results, the limitations and implications of testing including inconclusive results, and potential for genetic discrimination. Previous studies reporting on participant outcomes of genetic testing for familial melanoma have found significant improvements in both sun protective behavior and screening frequency in mutation carriers."

+8375,skin cancer,38287740,Rodent models of dermatological disorders.,"To assess the possible beneficial effects of drugs and drug candidates, different dermatological disease models are available in rodents. These models are able to mimic one or more characteristic features of the disorders, but not completely recapitulate the pathogenesis of the human skin diseases. Therefore, to improve the technology many new models have been developed both by genetic engineering and by chemical or physical induction. Currently the in vivo rodent models provide the physiologically most relevant approach to produce the pathology related to the majority of dermatological diseases. In this short review some widely used animal techniques (psoriasis, allergic contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, wound healing, melanoma and non-melanoma type skin cancers and UV erythema) are shown which are currently applied in pharmacological, pharmacokinetic, pharmaceutical and dermatological research. First the main points of the human pathomechanism are shown and afterwards the rodent models are briefly discussed. Finally critical evaluation is provided by the authors. However, according to the 3R rule the number of experimental animals is strongly suggested to be reduced, therefore the advanced in vitro and ex vivo techniques become more and more important contrary to in vivo preclinical methods also in dermatological research. As it is described in the outlook section, although the 2D/3D in vitro and skin on-a-chip techniques are promising and have many advantages they are not able to completely substitute the animal models in their vascular, immunological, secretory and neural complexity."

Majority of cases occur on sun-exposed sites such as the face, scalp and neck, making them easily amenable to being biopsied and subjected to histological examination for definitive diagnosis. Thus, cytological features of trichilemmal carcinoma have not been described till date. Trichilemmal carcinoma is a low-grade malignancy, albeit with potential to metastasize to regional lymph nodes and distant sites. We report the case of trichilemmal carcinoma of scalp that metastasized to cervical lymph nodes and parotid gland and underwent fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) from the parotid lesion. The aspirate showed tightly cohesive cell clusters with sharp borders. Tumour cells ranged from basaloid with scant cytoplasm to those with abundant cytoplasm. Nuclei were vesicular, with inconspicuous to prominent nuclei. Intercellular bridges, masses of keratin, and fragments of desmoplastic stroma were present, closely recapitulating histological features of trichilemmal carcinoma, which enabled diagnosis as metastasis. Cell block showed similar tumour fragments with evidence of differentiation towards outer root sheath. FNAC is the first-line investigation to obtain a tissue diagnosis of masses in the head and neck region. Although rarely encountered, the lack of knowledge of cytological features of trichilemmal carcinoma may hamper its FNAC diagnosis at metastatic sites. When intraparotid metastases occur, they may be mistaken as primary salivary gland carcinoma. Thus, awareness of the cytological features of this tumour must be raised among cytopathologists to enable accurate diagnosis and further management."
+8377,skin cancer,38287534,Possible effects of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 on promoting angiogenesis through matrix metalloproteinase 9 in advanced mycosis fungoides.,"Mycosis fungoides (MF) progresses slowly before advancing to skin tumors followed by lymph node and visceral involvement. Among MF progression, stage IIB is an initial time point of tumor formation in MF. Since MF in tumor stage possess abundant blood vessels, it is important to evaluate the pro-angiogenic factors before and after MF in stage IIB. In this report, we investigated pro-angiogenic soluble factors in MF patients, as well as its pro-angiogenetic effects on tumor cells and stroma cells. We first evaluated the serum levels of pro-angiogenic factors in 9 MF patients without tumor formation and 8 MF patients with tumor formation. Among them, the serum MMP-9 and plasminogen activator inhibitors 1 (PAI-1) was significantly increased in MF with tumor formation compared in MF without tumor formation, leading to favorable formation of human dermal microvascular endothelial cells tube networks. Moreover, PAI-1 stimulation significantly increased the mRNA expression and protein production MMP-9 on monocytes derived M2 macrophages and HUT-78. Furthermore, since MMP-9 production from tumor cells as well as stromal cells is suppressed by bexarotene, we evaluate the baseline serum pro-angiogenic factors including MMP-9 in 16 patients with advanced cutaneous T cell lymphoma treated with bexarotene. The serum levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was significantly increased in bexarotene non-responded patients compared to responded patients. Our present study suggested the significance of MMP-9 and PAI-1 for the progression of MF stage toward to the tumor stage, and could be a therapeutic target in future."

+8379,skin cancer,38287125,A pancancer analysis of the clinical and genomic characteristics of multiple primary cancers.,"Multiple primary cancer (MPC) denotes individuals with two or more malignant tumors occurring simultaneously or successively. Herein, a total of 11,000 pancancer patients in TCGA database (1993-2013) were divided into MPC or non-MPC groups based on their history of other malignant tumors. The incidence of MPC has risen to 8.5-13.1% since 2000. Elderly individuals, males, early-stage cancer patients, and African Americans and Caucasians are identified as independent risk factors (p < 0.0001). Non-MPC patients exhibit significantly longer overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) (p = 0.0038 and p = 0.0014). Age (p < 0.001) and tumor staging at initial diagnosis (p < 0.001) contribute to this difference. In our center, MPC was identified in 380 out of 801 tumor events based on SEER criteria. The peak occurrence of secondary primary was about 1-5 years after the first primary tumor, with a second small peak around 10-15 years. Multiple tumors commonly occur in the same organ (e.g., breast and lung), constituting 12.6%. Certain cancer types, notably skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), exhibit significantly higher tumor mutational burden (TMB) in the MPC group (17.31 vs. 6.55 mutations/MB, p < 0.001), with high TMB associated with improved survival (p < 0.001). High TMB in MPC may serve as a predictor for potential immunotherapy application."
+8380,skin cancer,38287061,Clinical and immunological relevance of SLAMF6 expression in the tumor microenvironment of breast cancer and melanoma.,"Compelling evidence shows that the frequency of T cells in the tumor microenvironment correlates with prognosis as well as response to immunotherapy. However, considerable heterogeneity exists within tumor-infiltrating T cells, and significance of their genomic and transcriptomic landscape on clinical outcomes remains to be elucidated. Signaling lymphocyte activation molecule 6 (SLAMF6) is expressed on intra-tumoral progenitor-exhausted T cells, which exhibit the capacity to proliferate, self-renew and produce terminally-exhausted T cells in pre-clinical models and patients. Here, we investigated the impact of SLAMF6 expression on prognosis in two immunologically different tumor types using publicly available databases. Our findings demonstrate that high SLAMF6 expression is associated with better prognosis, expression of TCF7 (encoding T-cell factor 1), and increased gene signatures associated with conventional type 1 dendritic cells and effector function of T cells in melanoma and breast cancer. Single-cell profiling of breast cancer tumor microenvironment reveals SLAMF6 expression overlaps CD8 T cells with a T-effector signature, which includes subsets expressing TCF7, memory and effector-related genes, analogous to progenitor-exhausted T cells. These findings illustrate the significance of SLAMF6 in the tumor as a marker for better effector responses, and provide insights into the predictive and prognostic determinants for cancer patients."
+8381,skin cancer,38286828,Mitochondrial DNA mutations drive aerobic glycolysis to enhance checkpoint blockade response in melanoma.,"The mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) encodes essential machinery for oxidative phosphorylation and metabolic homeostasis. Tumor mtDNA is among the most somatically mutated regions of the cancer genome, but whether these mutations impact tumor biology is debated. We engineered truncating mutations of the mtDNA-encoded complex I gene, Mt-Nd5, into several murine models of melanoma. These mutations promoted a Warburg-like metabolic shift that reshaped tumor microenvironments in both mice and humans, consistently eliciting an anti-tumor immune response characterized by loss of resident neutrophils. Tumors bearing mtDNA mutations were sensitized to checkpoint blockade in a neutrophil-dependent manner, with induction of redox imbalance being sufficient to induce this effect in mtDNA wild-type tumors. Patient lesions bearing >50% mtDNA mutation heteroplasmy demonstrated a response rate to checkpoint blockade that was improved by ~2.5-fold over mtDNA wild-type cancer. These data nominate mtDNA mutations as functional regulators of cancer metabolism and tumor biology, with potential for therapeutic exploitation and treatment stratification."

However, the detailed underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. A tumor-bearing mouse model is successfully constructed by inducing both subcutaneous tumors and lung metastases. Single-cell RNA sequencing, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry are performed to explore the regulation of tumor microenvironment (TME) by RT. A series of in vitro assays, including luciferase reporter, RNA Pulldown, and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) assays, are performed to evaluate the detailed mechanism of the abscopal effect. In addition, in vivo assays are performed to investigate combination therapy strategies for enhancing the abscopal effect. The results showed that RT significantly inhibited localized tumor and lung metastasis progression and improved the TME. Mechanistically, RT promoted the release of tumor-derived exosomes carrying circPIK3R3, which is taken up by macrophages. circPIK3R3 promoted Type I interferon (I-IFN) secretion and M1 polarization via the miR-872-3p/IRF7 axis.

But most studies in Caucasian patients have shown decreased incidence of non-melanoma skin cancers in patients with vitiligo. In Indian patients, there is a paucity of literature on such adverse events. We report a case of actinic keratoses, cutaneous horn with dysplasia and squamous cell carcinoma developing exclusively over photo-exposed vitiligo lesions in an Indian woman in her 60s (housewife, Fitzpatrick skin type V and average daily photo-exposure time 2-4 hours) of long-standing vitiligo vulgaris without any history of phototherapy. The photoprotected lesional skin was completely normal with no clinically appreciable enlarged regional lymph nodes. Shave and elliptical excision of the suspicious lesions were done, and histopathology showed various degrees of malignant transformation in various lesions. The patient was started on topical imiquimod for the lesions of actinic keratoses and was referred for staging and wide excision of squamous cell carcinoma lesion. We report this case for its rarity and to emphasise the fact that there is a need for counselling for lifestyle modification in patients with vitiligo as the use of sunscreens is often not practised by Indian patients due to financial constraints and physical measures such as using full sleeves, high-collared dresses and scarves should be encouraged."
+8384,skin cancer,38286381,Research on triamcinolone-loaded thermosensitive chitosan hydrogels for preventing esophageal stricture induced by endoscopic submucosal dissection.,"Early-stage esophageal cancer is primarily treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). However, extensive mucosal dissection creates a significant risk of postoperative esophageal stricture. Clinically, postoperative stricture can be prevented by glucocorticoids; however, there are drawbacks to both systemic and local administration of glucocorticoids, and improving drug administration methods is crucial. In this study, we developed a chitosan-based thermosensitive hydrogel for triamcinolone (TA) delivery. Our results indicated that the hydrogel remains liquid at low temperatures and can be injected into the esophageal wound site through an endoscopic biopsy channel. Upon reaching body temperature, the hydrogel undergoes spontaneous gelation and firmly adheres to the wound surface. The liquid phase enables convenient and precise delivery, while the gel phase achieves remarkable adhesion, tensile strength, and resistance to degradation. Moreover, the hydrogel exhibited an extended release duration of >10 days when loaded with a 10 mg dose. In vitro studies revealed that the hydrogel suppresses the proliferation and fibrogenesis of human scar fibroblasts (HKF). In a rat skin dermal defect model, the hydrogel attenuated keloid formation during the healing process.

However, there is still a risk of trapdoor deformity formation, of which its treatment is less discussed. A 44-year-old woman who was diagnosed with nasal BCC and underwent tumor excision with bilobed flap reconstruction presented with trapdoor deformity postoperatively. The computed Vancouver Scar Scale was 7. After early intervention of multiple laser modalities, including 2 sessions of 585-nm pulsed dye laser with a fluence of 9 J/cm2, pulse duration of 6 milliseconds, and spot size of 6 mm, 2940-nm Er-yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) laser with a pulse energy of 800-900 mJ, repetition rate of 8-9 Hz, and laser spot size of 3-7 mm, and 5 sessions of 1064-nm Nd:YAG fractional picosecond laser with a pulse energy of 2.30-2.70 mJ, repetition rate of 8 Hz, and laser spot size of 6 mm from 5 to 23 weeks postoperatively, the Vancouver Scar Scale score improved to 1, with significant reduction of trapdoor scar erythema and puffiness. Although BCC is often curable, tumor excision causes unsatisfactory appearance satisfaction problem, owing to the apparent location of the lesion. Factors, such as sebaceous tissue thickness, reconstruction over multiple aesthetic subunits of nose, and damage to nasal cartilage framework structure during tumor removal, may increase the risk of trapdoor formation. Early intervention with multiple laser treatment can significantly revise the deformity."

We are documenting four years of experience with 3D printed bolus at a large cancer centre. In addition to this we review the quality assurance (QA) program developed to support it. More than 2000 boluses were produced between Nov 2018 and Feb 2023 using fused deposition modelling (FDM) printing with polylactic acid (PLA) on up to five Raise 3D printers. Bolus is designed in the radiotherapy treatment planning system (Varian Eclipse), exported to an STL file followed by pre-processing. After checking each bolus with CT scanning initially we now produce standard quality control (QC) wedges every month and whenever a major change in printing processes occurs. A database records every bolus printed and manufacturing details. It takes about 3 days from designing the bolus in the planning system to delivering it to treatment. A 'premium' PLA material (Spidermaker) was found to be best in terms of homogeneity and CT number consistency (80 HU +/- 8HU). Most boluses were produced for photon beams (93.6%) with the rest used for electrons. We process about 120 kg of PLA per year with a typical bolus weighing less than 500 g and the majority of boluses 5 mm thick. Print times are proportional to bolus weight with about 24 h required for 500 g material deposited. 3D printing using FDM produces smooth and reproducible boluses.

In most cases BPDCN progresses rapidly, causing multiple skin lesions and also affecting internal organs and bone marrow, warranting initiation of systemic therapies or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). Although not curative, radiotherapy for isolated lesions might be indicated in case of (imminent) ulceration and large or symptomatic lesions. To this end, doses of 27.0-51.0 Gy have been reported. Here, we present the case of an 80-year-old male with BPDCN with multiple large, nodular, and ulcerating lesions of the thorax, abdomen, and face. Low-dose radiotherapy of 2 × 4.0 Gy was administered to several lesions, which resolved completely within 1 week with only light residual hyperpigmentation of the skin in affected areas and reliably prevented further ulceration. Radiotoxicity was not reported. Therefore, low-dose radiotherapy can be an effective and low-key treatment in selected cases of BPDCN, especially in a palliative setting, with a favorable toxicity profile."

There is no standard treatment for BPDCN. Although conventional chemotherapies are usually sensitive in the initial therapy, relapse and drug resistance are inevitable within a short duration. Targeted therapies have enlightened new prospects for the treatment of BPDCN, especially for those in a frail state and intolerable to standard chemotherapies or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Here, we report an 82-year-old man diagnosed with cutaneous-limited BPDCN. Considering the old age and limited involvement of the tumor, we reduced the dosage of venetoclax. His skin lesions subsided significantly after 1 cycle of azacytidine (100 mg d1-7) combined with reduced doses of venetoclax (200 mg d1-14).

Here, the authors describe the use of continuous external tissue expansion for the management of a paramedian forehead flap donor site. A Dermaclose device was used at the time of forehead flap elevation and removed at the pedicle division and inset. Sufficient skin expansion was achieved for primary closure. The final scar was esthetically pleasing. External tissue expansion is ideal for forehead flap donor sites as the second stage of the operation provides an opportunity for expander removal and wound closure."

It is widely known that biologics could affect the metabolic status and comorbidities in psoriasis patients, however, the effects of biologics on metabolism in psoriasis patients remain poorly understood. The aim of this study was to elucidate the characteristic changes of metabolic profiling in psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) patients before and after applying biologics. Plasma samples were collected from a retrospective cohort of 43 PsV patients. Non-targeted metabolomics analyses were performed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to compare the metabolic profiles before and after applying adalimumab (ADA) or ixekizumab (IXE) for 4 weeks. Additionally, correlation analyses were conducted to investigate the associations between metabolite expression levels and clinical characteristics. The biologics significantly affected the metabolic profiles of PsV patients especially in glycerophospholipids (GPs). First, phosphatidylcholine (PC), unsaturated lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), unsaturated lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and unsaturated lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE) were significantly up-regulated, whereas phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), saturated LPC, saturated LPA and saturated LPE were predominantly down-regulated after biologic treatment. What is more, the changes in PE and LPA were mainly observed after applying IXE instead of ADA. Second, we also found GPs including PC, unsaturated LPC, unsaturated LPA and unsaturated LPE were primarily negatively correlated with disease severity, whereas, PE, saturated LPC, saturated LPA and saturated LPE displayed inverse correlations. Biologics could affect GP metabolism and facilitate the transition of metabolic status from a pro-inflammatory to an anti-inflammatory phenotype in PsV patients."
+8405,skin cancer,38284205,BCC and Immunocryosurgery scar differentiation through computational resolution-enhanced OCT images and skin optical attenuation: A proof-of-concept study.,"Monitoring medical therapy remains a challenging task across all non-surgical skin cancer treatment modalities. In addition, confirmation of residual tumours after treatment is essential for the early detection of potential relapses. Optical coherence tomography (OCT), a non-invasive method for real-time cross-sectional imaging of living tissue, is a promising imaging approach for assessing relatively flat, near-surface skin lesions, such as those that occur in most basal cell carcinomas (BCCs), at the time of diagnosis. However, the skin's inherent property of strong light scattering impedes the implementation of OCT in these cases due to the poor image quality. Furthermore, translating OCT's optical parameters into practical use in routine clinical settings is complicated due to substantial observer subjectivity. In this retrospective pilot study, we developed a workflow based on the upscale of the OCT images resolution using a deep generative adversarial network and the estimation of the skin optical attenuation coefficient. At the site of immunocryosurgery-treated BCC, the proposed methodology can extract optical parameters and discriminate objectively between tumour foci and scar tissue."

We tried to identify other putative targets of IMP-3. We identified putative IMP-3-binding RNAs, including AKT1, MAPK3, RB1 and RELA, by RNA immunoprecipitation coupled with next-generation sequencing. IMP-3 overexpression increased AKT and RELA levels in MeWo cells. siRNAs against AKT1 and RELA inhibited MeWo/Full-length IMP-3 cell migration. IMP-3 knockdown of A2058 cells decreased AKT1 and RELA expression and lowered migration ability. Co-transfection of A2058 cells with AKT1- or RELA-expressing plasmids with IMP-3 siRNA restored the inhibitory effects of IMP-3 knockdown on migration. HMGA2 did not influence AKT1 and RELA expression in melanoma cells. Human melanoma samples with high IMP-3 levels also showed high HMGA2, AKT1 and RELA expression. Our results show that IMP-3 enhances melanoma cell migration through the regulation of the AKT1 and RELA axis."
+8407,skin cancer,38284199,The rhythms of histones in regeneration: The epigenetic modifications determined by clock genes.,"The evolutionary establishment of an internal biological clock is a primordial event tightly associated with a 24-h period. Changes in the circadian rhythm can affect cellular functions, including proliferation, DNA repair and redox state. Even isolated organs, tissues and cells can maintain an autonomous circadian rhythm. These cell-autonomous molecular mechanisms are driven by intracellular clock genes, such as BMAL1. Little is known about the role of core clock genes and epigenetic modifications in the skin. Our focus was to identify BMAL1-driven epigenetic modifications associated with gene transcription by mapping the acetylation landscape of histones in epithelial cells responding to injury. We explored the role of BMAL1 in epidermal wound and tissue regeneration using a loss-of-function approach in vivo. We worked with BMAL1 knockout mice and a contraction-resistance wound healing protocol, determining the histone modifications using specific antibodies to detect the acetylation levels of histones H3 and H4. We found significant differences in the acetylation levels of histones in both homeostatic and injured skin with deregulated BMAL1. The intact skin displayed varied acetylation levels of histones H3 and H4, including hyperacetylation of H3 Lys 9 (H3K9). The most pronounced changes were observed at the repair site, with notable alterations in the acetylation pattern of histone H4. These findings reveal the importance of histone modifications in response to injury and indicate that modulation of BMAL1 and its associated epigenetic events could be therapeutically harnessed to improve skin regeneration."
+8408,skin cancer,38284193,Redefine photoprotection: Sun protection beyond sunburn.,"Excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light leads to acute and chronic UV damage and is the main risk factor for the development of skin cancer. In most countries with western lifestyle, the topical application of sunscreens on UV-exposed skin areas is by far the most frequently used preventive measure against sunburn. Further than preventing sunburns, increasing numbers of consumers are appreciating sunscreens with a medium- to high-level sun protective factor (SPF) as basis for sustainable-skin ageing or skin cancer prevention programs. However, recent investigations indicate that clinically significant DNA damages as well as a lasting impairment of cutaneous immunosurveillance already occur far below the standard of one minimal erythema dose (MED) sunburn level, which contributes to the current discussion of the clinical value of high-protective SPF values. Ex vivo investigations on human skin showed that the application of SPF30 reduces DNA damage for a day long sun exposure (24 MED) drastically by about 53% but is significantly surpassed by SPF100 reducing DNA damage by approx. 73%. Further analysis on different SPF protection levels in UV-exposed cell culture assays focusing on IL-18, cell vitality and cis/trans-urocanic acid support these findings. Whereas SPF30 and SPF50"

The occurrence of bilateral IBC in a short period of time is extremely rare. In this case report, a 54-year-old woman diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma of the left breast underwent lumpectomy, lymph node dissection, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy but opted against trastuzumab treatment. Four years later, she experienced bilateral breast inflammation, skin changes, edema, and heat (calor). Biopsies confirmed breast cancer metastasis to both breasts. Whole-Exome Sequencing revealed genetic mutations, including PIK3CA and C4orf54, in both primary and recurrent tumors, with significant downregulation in the recurrent tumors. KEGG analysis suggested potential enrichment of axon guidance signal pathways in both tumors. The patient showed a partial response after treatment with liposome paclitaxel, along with targeted therapy using trastuzumab and pertuzumab.

Although many individuals clear the infection, some face persistent risks. Cervical cancer, which is linked to certain types of HPV, is a major health concern both globally and in Saudi Arabia, with preventive measures including HPV vaccination. However, parental knowledge and attitudes toward vaccinating their children vary. Therefore, this research aims to assess parental acceptance and understanding of the HPV vaccine in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia. Methodology This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia using an online questionnaire during 2022-2023. The data were cleaned in Excel and analyzed using SPSS version 29 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). The study assessed parents' knowledge and acceptance of HPV vaccination. Results A total of 380 participants were included in this study, the majority of whom were female, married, well-educated, and residents of Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. Awareness about the HPV vaccine was modest, with only 46.6% of participants having heard of it. Most parents reported that their doctors did not mention the vaccine (62.9%), and 67.1% stated that their children had not received it. Factors influencing acceptance included support from the Ministry of Health and belief in the vaccine's effectiveness. Concerns about side effects and vaccine effectiveness were the main barriers to vaccination. Sociodemographic factors, including gender, age, education, employment, and number of children, significantly influenced both knowledge and acceptance. Notably, awareness of HPV was strongly associated with acceptance. Conclusions Our study revealed limited knowledge and vaccine acceptance among parents in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia. Sociodemographic factors, including gender, age, education, employment, and number of children, significantly influenced both knowledge and acceptance. Thus, sociodemographic factors played a significant role in shaping these attitudes, emphasizing the need for targeted awareness campaigns and improved communication between healthcare providers and parents to enhance vaccine uptake."

Groups of mice with subcutaneously implanted Clone M3 (Cloudman S91) tumors were treated with single and combination therapies. Tumor volume (TV) measurements, body weights, and clinical observations were followed in-life. At end of study, tumor-site tissues were collected, measured, and processed for flow cytometry along with blood and lymph nodes. The combination of LSAM-PTX + anti-mPD-1 resulted in an antitumoral response, which produced a significant decrease in TV compared to control animals. TV decreases also occurred in the LSAM-PTX and anti-mPD-1 groups. Flow cytometry analysis found increases in granulocytes and M2 macrophages and decreases in dendritic cells (DC) and monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSC) in tumor-site tissues. Increases in granulocytes and decreases in CD4+ T cells, macrophages, and M1 macrophages were found in the blood of animals administered the combination treatment. Increases in natural killer (NK) cells were found in lymph node tissue in the combination treatment group. These findings suggest that IT LSAM-PTX may provide benefit in the local treatment of melanomas and may synergize with systemic anti-PD-1 therapy, leading to additional tumoricidal outcomes without added systemic toxicity."

Its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties against Propionibacterium acne are currently used in the treatment of various types of acne such as rosacea and acne vulgaris. AZA is an inhibitor of tyrosinase, mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes and DNA synthesis, and is a scavenger of harmful free radicals and inhibits the production of reactive oxygen species by neutrophils. Interestingly, AZA also has anti-proliferative and cytotoxic effects on various cancer cells. To date, its inhibitory effect on melanocytes has been mainly used, making it widely used in the treatment of hyperpigmentation disorders such as melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Commercially available topical formulations with cosmetic and drug status contain 5% to 20% AZA in the form of gels and creams. The use of liposomal technology allows greater control over the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the formulations. When applied topically, AZA is well tolerated, and side effects are limited to generally mild and transient local skin irritation. Importantly, liposomal technology has enabled the drug to penetrate all layers of the skin while maintaining a very high accumulation of the active ingredient. This solution could be revolutionary for the treatment of skin cancer, where until now the main obstacle was poor absorption through the skin, making the treatment require multiple applications to maintain long-term activity levels. In this review, we will present the mechanism of action and pharmacokinetics of AZA. We will summarize its use in the treatment of dermatoses and its potential in skin cancer therapy.

However, the mechanisms for this effect are unclear. Vit D elevates protoporphyrin (PpIX) levels within tumor cells, but also exerts immune-modulatory effects. Here, two murine models, UVB-induced actinic keratoses (AK) and human squamous cell carcinoma (A431) xenografts, were used to analyze the time course of local and systemic immune responses after PDT ± Vit D. Fluorescence immunohistochemistry of tissues and flow analysis (FACS) of blood were employed. In tissue, damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) were increased, and infiltration of neutrophils (Ly6G+), macrophages (F4/80+), and dendritic cells (CD11c+) were observed. In most cases, Vit D alone or PDT alone increased cell recruitment, but Vit D + PDT showed even greater recruitment effects. Similarly for T cells, increased infiltration of total (CD3+), cytotoxic (CD8+) and regulatory (FoxP3+) T-cells was observed after Vit D or PDT, but the increase was even greater with the combination. FACS analysis revealed a variety of interesting changes in circulating immune cell levels. In particular, neutrophils decreased in the blood after Vit D, consistent with migration of neutrophils into AK lesions. Levels of cells expressing the PD-1+ checkpoint receptor were reduced in AKs following Vit D, potentially counteracting PD-1+ elevations seen after PDT alone. In summary, Vit D and ALA-PDT, two treatments with individual immunogenic effects, may be advantageous in combination to improve treatment efficacy and management of AK in the dermatology clinic."

However, in more recent years, the amount of systemic therapies available for neoadjuvant use for these patients has increased. This article reviewed clinical trials investigating neoadjuvant therapy for patients with resectable stage III/IV melanoma. The outcomes of these trials have identified optimal treatment regimens to maximise patient response and minimize toxicities. Additionally, the date demonstrate advantages to neoadjuvant treatment compared to adjuvant therapy alone. Further research is needed to utilize a patient's response to neoadjuvant treatment for prognostication and creation of an individualized treatment plan."

Historical control data can provide useful information on the range and incidence of spontaneously occurring background neoplasms in the species and strain of the test animal used in different types of toxicity studies, including studies of differing lengths, delivery of test article, and test animal. Some of the most common malignant findings noted included fibrosarcoma of skin/subcutis and thyroid C-cell carcinoma in males (2.1% each) while mammary gland carcinoma and pituitary carcinoma (25% and 2.6%) were most common in females. Pituitary adenoma of pars distalis was found to be the most prevalent benign neoplasm in both males and females (56.4% and 77.1%). Fibroadenoma of mammary gland (35.6%) and thyroid C-cell adenoma (8.5%) were the second and third most common benign tumors in female SD rats. In males, the thyroid C-cell adenoma (10.9%) and benign pheochromocytoma (8.9%) were the second and third most common tumors."

However, needleless transdermal delivery of biomacromolecules remains a challenge. Herein, a transdermal delivery platform based on biocompatible fluorocarbon modified chitosan (FCS) is developed to achieve highly efficient non-invasive delivery of biomacromolecules including antibodies and antigens. The formed nanocomplexes exhibits effective transdermal penetration ability via both intercellular and transappendageal routes. Non-invasive transdermal delivery of immune checkpoint blockade antibodies induces stronger immune responses for melanoma in female mice and reduces systemic toxicity compared to intravenous injection. Moreover, transdermal delivery of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in female mice results in comparable humoral immunity as well as improved cellular immunity and immune memory compared to that achieved with subcutaneous vaccine injection. Additionally, FCS-based protein delivery systems demonstrate transdermal ability for rabbit and porcine skins. Thus, FCS-based transdermal delivery systems may provide a compelling opportunity to overcome the skin barrier for efficient transdermal delivery of bio-therapeutics."

Methods capable of preparing hydrogels that can simultaneously mimic the structure and function of the skin are highly desirable but have been proven to be a challenge. Here, dual structurally and functionally skin-mimicking hydrogels are generated by crosslinking cell-membrane compartments. The crosslinked network is formed via free radical polymerization using olefinic double bond-functionalized extracellular vesicles as a crosslinker. Due to the dissipation of stretching energy mediated by vesicular deformation, the obtained compartment-crosslinked network shows enhanced mechanical strength compared to hydrogels crosslinked by regular divinyl monomers. Biomimetic hydrogels also exhibit specific antibacterial activity and adequate ability to promote the maturation and activation of dendritic cells given the existence of numerous extracellular vesicle-associated bioactive substances. In addition, the versatility of this approach to tune both the structure and function of the resulting hydrogels is demonstrated through introducing a second network by catalyst-free click reaction-mediated crosslinking between alkyne-double-ended polymers and azido-decorated extracellular vesicles. This study provides a platform to develop dual structure- and function-controllable skin-inspired biomaterials."

Herein, we fabricated a DPMN patch containing a potent enzyme-nanozyme composite that transforms the upregulated glucose consumption of cancerous cells into lethal reactive oxygen species via a cascade reaction accelerated by endogenous chloride ions and external near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. This was accomplished by combining glucose oxidase (Gox) with a NIR-responsive chloroperoxidase-like copper sulfide (CuS) nanozyme. In contrast with subcutaneous injection, the microneedle system highly localizes the treatment, enhancing nanomedicine uptake by the tumor and reducing its systemic exposure to the kidneys and spleen. NIR irradiation further controls the potency and toxicity of the formulation by thermally disabling Gox. In a mouse melanoma model, this unique combination of photothermal, starvation, and chemodynamic therapies resulted in complete tumor eradication (99.2 ± 0.8 % reduction in tumor volume within 10 d) without producing signs of systemic toxicity. By comparison, other treatment combinations only resulted in a 42-76.5 % reduction in tumor growth. The microneedle patch design is therefore not only highly potent but also with regulated toxicity and improved safety."

Skin cancer prevention is more viable with the use of combination of bioactive agents than using of single bioactive compounds. Present work was demonstrated to evaluate the interaction of Resveratrol (Res), Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), and diallyl trisulfide (DATS) with each other as a binary combination on A431 cells. Nuclear fragmentation analysis of combination of bioactive agents using DAPI analysis, detection of apoptosis, analysis of cell cycle, ROS assay, antimigration assays, and western blotting were implemented to study the combination of bioactive compounds on A431 cell line. Among the selected combination EGCG + DATS had a synergetic effect reducing cellular migration, increased intercellular reactive oxygen species generation, condensation, cell phagocytosis induced by phosphatidylserine externalization, rise in sub-G1 DNA content, and S-phase were cell cycle arrest. The combinations EGCG + DATS induced apoptotic proteins in A431 cells by upregulation of proapoptotic Bax and Bad proteins, a downmodulation of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl2 and caspases (caspase-3, and -9) activity got triggered by intrinsic pathway. The combination of EGCG + DATS showed good anticancer potential against A431 skin cancer cell line via the mitochondrial caspase dependent pathway with very strong synergism. This finding will help to produce a novel combination/chemoprevention using dietary bioactive agents (EGCG + DATS) for the treatment of skin cancer after clinical trial."

+8433,skin cancer,38279992,An analysis pipeline for understanding 6-thioguanine effects on a mouse tumour genome.,"Mouse tumour models are extensively used as a pre-clinical research tool in the field of oncology, playing an important role in anticancer drugs discovery. Accordingly, in cancer genomics research, the demand for next-generation sequencing (NGS) is increasing, and consequently, the need for data analysis pipelines is likewise growing. Most NGS data analysis solutions to date do not support mouse data or require highly specific configuration for their use. Here, we present a genome analysis pipeline for mouse tumour NGS data including the whole-genome sequence (WGS) data analysis flow for somatic variant discovery, and the RNA-seq data flow for differential expression, functional analysis and neoantigen prediction. The pipeline is based on standards and best practices and integrates mouse genome references and annotations. In a recent study, the pipeline was applied to demonstrate the efficacy of low dose 6-thioguanine (6TG) treatment on low-mutation melanoma in a pre-clinical mouse model. Here, we further this study and describe in detail the pipeline and the results obtained in terms of tumour mutational burden (TMB) and number of predicted neoantigens, and correlate these with 6TG effects on tumour volume. Our pipeline was expanded to include a neoantigen analysis, resulting in neopeptide prediction and MHC class I antigen presentation evaluation. We observed that the number of predicted neoepitopes were more accurate indicators of tumour immune control than TMB. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the usability of the proposed pipeline, and suggests it could be an essential robust genome analysis platform for future mouse genomic analysis."

+8455,skin cancer,38276640,Insights on the UV-Screening Potential of Marine-Inspired Thiol Compounds.,"One of the major threats to skin aging and the risk of developing skin cancer is excessive exposure to the sun's ultraviolet radiation (UVR). The use of sunscreens containing different synthetic, organic, and inorganic UVR filters is one of the most widespread defensive measures. However, increasing evidence suggests that some of these compounds are potentially eco-toxic, causing subtle damage to the environment and to marine ecosystems. Resorting to natural products produced in a wide range of marine species to counteract UVR-mediated damage could be an alternative strategy. The present work investigates marine-inspired thiol compounds, derivatives of ovothiol A, isolated from marine invertebrates and known to exhibit unique antioxidant properties. However, their potential use as photoprotective molecules for biocompatible sunscreens and anti-photo aging formulations has not yet been investigated. Here, we report on the UVR absorption properties, photostability, and in vitro UVA shielding activities of two synthetic ovothiol derivatives, 5-thiohistidine and iso-ovothiol A, by spectrophotometric and fluorimetric analysis. We found that the UVA properties of these compounds increase upon exposure to UVA and that their absorption activity is able to screen UVA rays, thus reducing the oxidative damage induced to proteins and lipids. The results of this work demonstrate that these novel marine-inspired compounds could represent an alternative eco-friendly approach for UVR skin protection."

Using a systematic and meta-analytical approach, we aimed to summarize the currently available literature concerning skin cancer risk in patients treated with targeted therapies. The MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were searched to find studies reporting the incidence rates (IR) of melanoma and NMSC in patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis treated with biologics or JAK inhibitors. Nineteen studies were included in the analysis with a total of 13,739 patients. The overall IR of melanoma was 0.08 (95% CI, 0.05-0.15) events per 100 PYs and the overall IR of NMSC was 0.45 (95% CI, 0.33-0.61) events per 100 PYs. The IRs of melanoma were comparable across patients treated with IL-17 inhibitors, IL-23 inhibitors, and JAK inhibitors, while the IRs of NMSC were higher in patients treated with JAK inhibitors than in those treated with biologics.

Polyphenols derived from plants have been found to exhibit photoprotective effects against various factors that contribute to skin cancer. During the fermentation of the polyphenol-enriched blueberry preparation (PEBP), small oligomers of polyphenols were released, thus enhancing their photoprotective effects. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of PEBP on UVB-induced skin inflammation. Topical preparations of polyphenols were applied to the skin of dorsally shaved mice. Mice were subsequently exposed to UVB and were sacrificed 90 min after UVB exposure. This study revealed that pretreatment with PEBP significantly inhibited UVB-induced recruitment of mast and neutrophil cells and prevented the loss of skin thickness. Furthermore, the findings show that PEBP treatment resulted in the downregulation of miR-210, 146a, and 155 and the upregulation of miR-200c and miR-205 compared to the UVB-irradiated mice. Additionally, PEBP was found to reduce the expression of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNFα, inhibiting COX-2 and increasing IL-10 after UVB exposure. Moreover, DNA methylation analysis indicated that PEBP might potentially reduce the activation of inflammation-related pathways such as MAPK, Wnt, Notch, and PI3K-AKT signaling. Our finding suggests that topical application of PEBP treatment may effectively prevent UVB-induced skin damage by inhibiting inflammation."

It was demonstrated that the estimation of color components can assist in the differential diagnosis of these types of lesions because there were significant differences in color parameters between MCC and other categories of skin lesions such as hemangiomas, common skin carcinomas, and cherry hemangiomas. Significant differences in values were observed in the blue color of RGB ("

CTCL disease progression is associated with gut dysbiosis and alterations in bacterial taxa parallel those observed in immunologically similar atopic dermatitis. Moreover, the microbial profile of lesional skin may predict response to narrowband ultraviolet B (nbUVB), a common skin-directed therapy. However, the relationship between the gut microbiome, an immunologically vital niche, and nbUVB remains unexplored in CTCL. Herein, we performed 16S rRNA sequencing and PICRUSt2 predictive metagenomics on DNA extracted from stool swabs of 13 CTCL patients treated with nbUVB, 8 non-treated patients, and 13 healthy controls. Disease response was assessed with modified Severity Weighted Assessment Tool (mSWAT); of nbUVB-treated patients, 6 improved (decreased mSWAT), 2 remained stable, and 5 worsened (increased mSWAT).

The broadly used anti-cancer chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin often induces AKI as an adverse drug side effect. Therapies targeted at the reversal of AKI and its potential progression to chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease are currently insufficiently effective. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) possess diverse immunomodulatory properties that confer upon them significant therapeutic potential for the treatment of diverse inflammatory disorders. Human dermal MSCs expressing ATP-Binding Cassette member B5 (ABCB5) have shown therapeutic efficacy in clinical trials in chronic skin wounds or recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. In preclinical studies, ABCB5+ MSCs have also shown to reverse metabolic reprogramming in polycystic kidney cells, suggesting a capacity for this cell subset to improve also organ function in kidney diseases. Here, we aimed to explore the therapeutic capacity of ABCB5+ MSCs to improve renal function in a preclinical rat model of cisplatin-induced AKI. First, the anti-apoptotic and immunomodulatory capacity was compared against research-grade adipose stromal cells (ASCs). Then, cross-species immunomodulatory capacity was checked, testing first inhibition of mitogen-driven peripheral blood mononuclear cells and then modulation of macrophage function. Finally, therapeutic efficacy was evaluated in a cisplatin AKI model. First, ABCB5+ MSCs suppressed cisplatin-induced apoptosis of human conditionally-immortalized proximal tubular epithelial cells "

In this study, the technique was translated for clinical use with a portable Raman system and customized fiber optic probe and applied to differentiation of skin cancers from benign lesions and inflammatory dermatoses. The aim was to provide an easy-to-use, easy-to-manage assessment tool for clinicians to use in their daily patient examination routine to perform rapid Raman measurements of skin lesions in vivo. Using this system, >867 spectra were measured in vivo from 330 patients with a wide variety of different benign skin lesions (n = 603), inflammatory dermatoses (n = 140), and skin cancers (n = 124). Ethnicities represented were 70% European; 16% Asian; 6% Māori; 5% Pacific people; and 4% Middle East, Latin American, and African. Accurate differentiation of skin cancers from benign lesions and inflammatory dermatoses was achieved using partial least squares discriminant analysis, with area under curve for the receiver operator curves for external validation sets ranging from 0.916 to 0.958. This study shows evidence for robust clinical translation of Raman spectroscopy for rapid, accurate diagnosis of skin cancer."
+8478,skin cancer,38274286,Development of an epigenetic clock to predict visual age progression of human skin.,"Aging is a complex process characterized by the gradual decline of physiological functions, leading to increased vulnerability to age-related diseases and reduced quality of life. Alterations in DNA methylation (DNAm) patterns have emerged as a fundamental characteristic of aged human skin, closely linked to the development of the well-known skin aging phenotype. These changes have been correlated with dysregulated gene expression and impaired tissue functionality. In particular, the skin, with its visible manifestations of aging, provides a unique model to study the aging process. Despite the importance of epigenetic age clocks in estimating biological age based on the correlation between methylation patterns and chronological age, a second-generation epigenetic age clock, which correlates DNAm patterns with a particular phenotype, specifically tailored to skin tissue is still lacking. In light of this gap, we aimed to develop a novel second-generation epigenetic age clock explicitly designed for skin tissue to facilitate a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to individual variations in age progression. To achieve this, we used methylation patterns from more than 370 female volunteers and developed the first skin-specific second-generation epigenetic age clock that accurately predicts the skin aging phenotype represented by wrinkle grade, visual facial age, and visual age progression, respectively. We then validated the performance of our clocks on independent datasets and demonstrated their broad applicability. In addition, we integrated gene expression and methylation data from independent studies to identify potential pathways contributing to skin age progression. Our results demonstrate that our epigenetic age clock, VisAgeX, specifically predicting visual age progression, not only captures known biological pathways associated with skin aging, but also adds novel pathways associated with skin aging."

Marine-derived molecules are of special interest due to their wide range of biological activities and sustainable large-scale production. Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that originates from genetic mutations in melanocytes. BRAF, RAS, and NF1 mutations are described as the major melanoma drivers, but approximately 20% of patients lack these mutations and are included in the triple wild-type (tripleWT) classification. Recent advances in targeted therapy directed at driver mutations along with immunotherapy have only partially improved patients' overall survival, and consequently, melanoma remains deadly when in advanced stages. Fucose-containing sulfated polysaccharides (FCSP) are potential candidates to treat melanoma; therefore, we investigated Fucan A, a FCSP from Spatoglossum schröederi brown seaweed, in vitro in human melanoma cell lines presenting different mutations. Up to 72 h Fucan A treatment was not cytotoxic either to normal melanocytes or melanoma cell lines. Interestingly, it was able to impair the tripleWT CHL-1 cell proliferation (57%), comparable to the chemotherapeutic cytotoxic drug cisplatin results, with the advantage of not causing cytotoxicity. Fucan A increased CHL-1 doubling time, an effect attributed to cell cycle arrest. Vascular mimicry, a close related angiogenesis process, was also impaired (73%). Fucan A mode of action could be related to gene expression modulation, in special β-catenin downregulation, a molecule with protagonist roles in important signaling pathways. Taken together, results indicate that Fucan A is a potential anticancer molecule and, therefore, deserves further investigation."

The emergence of antibodies targeting tumor cell-surface antigens led to advancements in the treatment of hematopoietic malignancies, particularly blood cancers. Yet their impact is constrained against tumors of hematopoietic origin manifesting in the skin. In this study, we employ a clonality-supervised deep learning methodology to dissect key pathological features implicated in mycosis fungoides, the most common cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Our investigations unveil the prominence of the IL-32β-major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-I axis as a critical determinant in tumor T-cell immune evasion within the skin microenvironment. In patients' skin, we find MHC-I to detrimentally impact the functionality of natural killer (NK) cells, diminishing antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and promoting resistance of tumor skin T-cells to cell-surface targeting therapies. Through murine experiments in female mice, we demonstrate that disruption of the MHC-I interaction with NK cell inhibitory Ly49 receptors restores NK cell anti-tumor activity and targeted T-cell lymphoma elimination in vivo. These findings underscore the significance of attenuating the MHC-I-dependent immunosuppressive networks within skin tumors. Overall, our study introduces a strategy to reinvigorate NK cell-mediated anti-tumor responses to overcome treatment resistance to existing cell-surface targeted therapies for skin lymphoma."

Both nature and human beings have been constantly casting out HMs into environmental matrices through various activities. Innumerable cases of threatened diseases such as cancer, respiratory ailments, reproductive defects, skin diseases, and several others have been a cause of significant concern for humans as the number of instances has been increasing with each decade. HMs migrates via several pathways to infiltrate biological organisms and amass within them. Even though numerous treatment approaches are available for remediating HM pollution, however, they are expensive, along with other setbacks. Due to such constraints, combating HM contamination requires environmentally conscious strategies like bioremediation, which employs an array of biological systems to remove HMs from the environment. Nonetheless, to address the current global HM pollution situation, it is critical to comprehend not only how these hazardous HMs cause toxicity in various living organisms but also the knowledge gaps that currently exist concerning the subject of HM ecotoxicity. In the present investigation, data was extracted from Google Scholar using software program called Harzing's Publish or Perish. The collected information has been subsequently displayed as a network file using the VOSViewer software tool. Thus, the current review presents a significant insight with the inclusion of a readily accessible bibliometric analysis to comprehend the present status of HMs research, global research trends, existing knowledge discrepancies, and research challenges. Further, it also provides an in-depth review of HMs ecotoxicity, with a focus on arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb). Thus, as indicated by the bibliometric study, the present review will assist future investigators studying HMs ecotoxicity by providing baseline data concerning a wide range of living organisms and by addressing research gaps."

This bacterium is found in soil, water, and other habitats. Infections caused by M. mageritense are relatively rare and no treatment protocol has been established. Herein, we report a case of skin and soft tissue infection caused by M. mageritense. A 49-year-old woman underwent surgery for right breast cancer. Four months after surgery, a surgical site infection was found, and M. mageritense was identified in the wound culture using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Based on the sensitivity results, the patient was treated with levofloxacin and doxycycline for 4 months. In addition to antimicrobial agents, aggressive surgical interventions led to a favorable course of treatment. In conclusion, successful treatment of skin and soft tissue infections with M. mageritense requires surgical intervention whenever possible, aggressive susceptibility testing, and appropriate antimicrobial therapy."

A majority of patients with RDEB develop squamous cell carcinoma, a highly aggressive skin cancer with limited treatment options currently available. In this study, we utilized an approach leveraging whole-genome sequencing and RNA sequencing across 3 different tissues in a single patient with RDEB to gain insight into possible mechanisms of RDEB-associated squamous cell carcinoma progression and to identify potential therapeutic options. As a result, we identified PLK-1 as a possible candidate for targeted therapy and discovered microsatellite instability and accelerated aging as factors potentially contributing to the aggressive nature and early onset of RDEB squamous cell carcinoma. By integrating multitissue genomic and transcriptomic analyses in a single patient, we demonstrate the promise of bridging the gap between genomic research and clinical applications for developing tailored therapies for patients with rare genetic disorders such as RDEB."

In humans, the expression of CK19 gene within circulating tumor cells (CTCs) extracted from blood samples of breast cancer patients reflects tumor cell activity, offering valuable insights for predicting early metastatic relapse or monitoring treatment effectiveness. However, knowledge of serum tumor markers is limited in veterinary oncology. Recently, droplet digital PCR (ddPCR), has been employed to explore rare target genes due to its heightened sensitivity and accuracy as a novel molecular diagnostic tool. The objectives of this study were to investigate the expression of the CK19 mRNA in CTCs, non-neoplastic mammary tissues, and both benign and malignant canine mammary tumors (CMTs) through ddPCR analysis. In Study I, we optimized the discard volume for blood samples to reduce CK19 contamination from skin epithelial cells post-venipuncture. The results revealed that discarding the initial 3 mL of blood was adequate and effective in eliminating CK19 mRNA contamination. In Study II, after the removal of the initial 3 mL of blood, we investigated CK19 mRNA-positive CTCs in the peripheral blood of normal healthy dogs, including those with benign and malignant CMTs. Intriguingly, CK19 mRNA was undetectable in all blood samples. The expression of CK19 mRNA in mammary tissues was investigated in Study III. The copy number (CN) ratios of the CK19 gene in non-neoplastic mammary tissues (14.77 ± 14.65) were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those in benign (4.23 ± 3.35) and malignant groups (6.56 ± 5.64). Notably, no difference was observed between the benign and malignant groups. In conclusion, CK19 mRNA appeared unlikely to be a suitable candidate as a biomarker in the peripheral blood of CMTs, while the CN ratio in mammary tissues could serve as a potential discriminator between non-neoplastic and CMT groups, complementing the gold standard of histopathological examination."

Strobilurin X exhibited milder inhibitory effects on human fibroblast cells (NB1RGB) compared to strobilurin A. Additional strobilurin-related compounds were isolated from the other mushroom species. Oudemansins A and B displayed weaker activities on G-361 cells than strobilurins A and B, respectively, emphasizing the importance of a conjugated double-bond structure. Among isolated compounds, strobilurin G showed the lowest IC50 value for G-361 cells. Additional strobilurins bearing various substituents on the benzene ring were synthesized. Synthetic intermediates lacking the methyl β-methoxyacrylate group and a strobilurin analogue bearing modified β-methoxyacrylate moiety showed almost no inhibitory activity against G-361 cells. The introduction of long or bulky substituents at the 4' position of the benzene ring of strobilurins enhanced the activity and selectivity, suggesting differential recognition of the benzene ring by G-361 and NB1RGB cells."

However, the prognostic value of CXCRs expression in patients with skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the expression characteristics of CXCRs in SKCM tissues, analyze their prognostic value and the correlation with immune cell infiltration. Multiple public databases were used for exploration, including GEPIA2, GSCA, ULCAN, Metascape, STRING, TIMER2.0, HPA, and Cistrome DB database. And a confirmation experiment was conducted on melanoma mice with flow cytometry. Compared with normal tissues, lower expression of CXCR2/7/8 and higher expression of CXCR3/4 were found in SKCM tissues. CXCR3/4/6 were abnormally expressed in each pathological stage. Moreover, CXCRs were closely related to immune-related biological functions, and mainly interacted with CXCLs. The high expression of CXCR3/5/6 indicated better overall survival of patients. Among them, CXCR6 had the most significant prognostic value, and was most related to tumor infiltration of CD8"
+8504,skin cancer,38270618,Efficacy and safety of guttiferone E in melanoma-bearing mice.,"Melanoma, an aggressive and potentially fatal skin cancer, is constrained by immunosuppression, resistance, and high toxicity in its treatment. Consequently, there is an urgent need for innovative antineoplastic agents. Therefore, this study investigated the antimelanoma potential of guttiferone E (GE). In an allogeneic murine B16 melanoma model, GE was administered subcutaneously and intraperitoneally. Antitumor evaluation included tumor volume/weight measurements and histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis. Furthermore, the toxicity of the treatments was evaluated through body/organ weights, biochemical parameters, and genotoxicity. Subcutaneous administration of 20 mg/kg of GE resulted in a significant reduction in both tumor volume and weight, effectively suppressing melanoma cell proliferation as evidenced by a decrease in mitotic figures. The tumor growth inhibition rate was equivalent to 54%. This treatment upregulated cleaved caspase-3, indicating apoptosis induction. On the other hand, intraperitoneal administration of GE showed no antimelanoma effect. Remarkably, GE treatments exhibited no toxicity, evidenced by non-significant differences in body weight gain, as well as organ weight, biochemical parameters of nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity, and genotoxic damage. This study revealed, for the first time, the efficacy of subcutaneous administration of GE in reducing melanoma, in the absence of toxicity. Furthermore, it was observed that the apoptotic signaling pathway is involved in the antimelanoma property of GE. These findings offer valuable insights for further exploring GE's therapeutic applications in melanoma treatment."

The objectives of this study were to assess the ability of patients to capture dermoscopic images using a smartphone attachment, and to identify the safety and diagnostic accuracy of consumer-level dermoscopy in triaging out benign skin lesions from the 2-week-wait (2WW) cancer pathway. We recruited 78 patients already attending a face-to-face clinic at two locations. They were provided with instruction leaflets and asked to obtain dermoscopic and macroscopic images of their lesion(s) using their own smartphones. The images (and a brief history) were distributed to five experienced blinded assessors (consultants), who were asked to state their working diagnosis and outcome (reassurance, routine review or 2WW pathway), as they would in teledermatology. We compared their outcomes to the gold-standard in-person diagnosis and/or histological diagnosis, where available. The device achieved 100% sensitivity in diagnosing melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The specificity for the diagnoses of melanoma (89%) and SCC (83%) was high. The overall diagnostic accuracy was 77% for both benign and malignant lesions, The diagnostic accuracy was high for seborrhoeic keratosis (91%) and simple naevi (81%). Patient-captured dermoscopic images using bespoke smartphone attachments could be the future in safely triaging out benign lesions."
+8509,skin cancer,38270141,TIF1γ and SMAD4 regulation in colorectal cancer: impact on cell proliferation and liver metastasis.,"We investigated the effects of transcriptional intermediary factor 1γ (TIF1γ) and SMAD4 on the proliferation and liver metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells through knockdown of TIF1γ and/or SMAD4 and knockdown of TIF1γ and/or restoration of SMAD4 expression. Furthermore, we examined TIF1γ and SMAD4 expression in human primary CRC and corresponding liver metastatic CRC specimens. TIF1γ promoted but SMAD4 inhibited the proliferation of CRC cells by competitively binding to activated SMAD2/SMAD3 complexes and then reversely regulating c-Myc, p21, p27, and cyclinA2 levels. Surprisingly, both TIF1γ and SMAD4 reduced the liver metastasis of all studied CRC cell lines via inhibition of MEK/ERK pathway-mediated COX-2, Nm23, uPA, and MMP9 expression. In patients with advanced CRC, reduced TIF1γ or SMAD4 expression was correlated with increased invasion and liver metastasis and was a significant, independent risk factor for recurrence and survival after radical resection. Patients with advanced CRC with reduced TIF1γ or SAMD4 expression had higher recurrence rates and shorter overall survival. TIF1γ and SMAD4 competitively exert contrasting effects on cell proliferation but act complementarily to suppress the liver metastasis of CRC via MEK/ERK pathway inhibition. Thus, reduced TIF1γ or SMAD4 expression in advanced CRC predicts earlier liver metastasis and poor prognosis."

Fifty-one patients with chronic (42.6%) wounds were healed, with a median time to healing of 66 (95% CI: 56-88) days. All patients reported high satisfaction with their wound care, 86.4% of patients recommended the Virtual Wound Care Command Centre with 84.1% of patients reporting the app as easy to use. The data revealed that the Virtual Wound Care Command Centre was a viable and acceptable patient-centred expert wound consultation service for chronic wound patients in the community."
+8511,skin cancer,38269518,The role of TRPV ion channels in adipocyte differentiation: What is the evidence?,"Obesity is a complex disorder, and the incidence of obesity continues to rise at an alarming rate worldwide. In particular, the growing incidence of overweight and obesity in children is a major health concern. However, the underlying mechanisms of obesity remain unclear and the efficacy of several approaches for weight loss is limited. As an important calcium-permeable temperature-sensitive cation channel, transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) ion channels directly participate in thermo-, mechano-, and chemosensory responses. Modulation of TRPV ion channel activity can alter the physiological function of the ion channel, leading to neurodegenerative diseases, chronic pain, cancer, and skin disorders. In recent years, increasing studies have demonstrated that TRPV ion channels are abundantly expressed in metabolic organs, including the liver, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, pancreas, and central nervous system, which has been implicated in various metabolic diseases, including obesity and diabetes mellitus. In addition, as an important process for the pathophysiology of adipocyte metabolism, adipocyte differentiation plays a critical role in obesity. In this review, we focus on the role of TRPV ion channels in adipocyte differentiation to broaden the ideas for prevention and control strategies for obesity."

We explored the possibility of increased peripheral blood DNA damage and elevated serum levels of the melanoma inhibitory activity (MIA) protein - a serological marker for MM known to be stimulated by UV radiation - in this professional group. Methods This was a case-control study involving 40 male APs, each of whom was age- and tenure-matched (≥5 years of service) with 40 male office workers (OWs). We assessed DNA damage in the two professional groups by performing comet and micronucleus (MN) assays on peripheral blood. Serum levels of MIA protein were quantified using an immunoassay. Results The comet tail lengths and the frequency of MN were significantly higher in APs (4.57 ± 0.79 µm and 2.05 ± 0.26 per 1000 cells, respectively) than in OWs (3.81 ± 0.60 µm and 1.76 ± 0.31 per 1000 cells, respectively, both p<0.001). Furthermore, serum MIA levels were also significantly higher in APs (7.45 ± 0.95 ng/mL) than in OWs (5.78 ± 0.54 ng/mL, p<0.001). A significant positive correlation was found between comet tail lengths in APs and their serum MIA concentrations (r=0.68, p<0.01). Conclusions The increased burden of DNA damage and elevated serum MIA levels in APs may offer an explanation for their higher susceptibility to MM and other types of skin cancers."

To address these issues, we developed a smart strategy utilizing activable photosensitizers delivered by an aptamer-functionalized DNA probe (ADP). The ADP incorporated an AS1411 aptamer for tumor targeting and a linear antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) for recognition of Survivin mRNA. In the absence of the target, PDT remained quenched, thereby avoiding phototoxicity during circulation and nonselective distribution. With the aid of the aptamer, ADP achieved selective targeting of tumors. Upon internalization, ADP targeted recognized Survivin mRNA, triggering PDT activation, and releasing ASO to down-regulate Survivin expression and reverse tumor resistance. Consequently, the activable photosensitizers exhibited an ""AND"" logic gate, combining tumor-targeting delivery and tumor-related gene activation, thus enhancing its specificity. Additionally, the incorporation of hemin into the ADP provided catalase activity, converting tumor-abundant H"
+8516,skin cancer,38268926,Epigenetic modulation of antitumor immunity and immunotherapy response in breast cancer: biological mechanisms and clinical implications.,"Breast cancer (BC) is the most common non-skin cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in American women. The initiation and progression of BC can proceed through the accumulation of genetic and epigenetic changes that allow transformed cells to escape the normal cell cycle checkpoint control. Unlike nucleotide mutations, epigenetic changes such as DNA methylation, histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs), nucleosome remodeling and non-coding RNAs are generally reversible and therefore potentially responsive to pharmacological intervention. Epigenetic dysregulations are critical mechanisms for impaired antitumor immunity, evasion of immune surveillance, and resistance to immunotherapy. Compared to highly immunogenic tumor types, such as melanoma or lung cancer, breast cancer has been viewed as an immunologically quiescent tumor which displays a relatively low population of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), low tumor mutational burden (TMB) and modest response rates to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Emerging evidence suggests that agents targeting aberrant epigenetic modifiers may augment host antitumor immunity in BC via several interrelated mechanisms such as enhancing tumor antigen presentation, activation of cytotoxic T cells, inhibition of immunosuppressive cells, boosting response to ICI, and induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD). These discoveries have established a highly promising basis for using combinatorial approaches of epigenetic drugs with immunotherapy as an innovative paradigm to improve outcomes of BC patients. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of how epigenetic processes regulate immune cell function and antitumor immunogenicity in the context of the breast tumor microenvironment. Moreover, we discuss the therapeutic potential and latest clinical trials of the combination of immune checkpoint blockers with epigenetic agents in breast cancer."

We present the case of a 58-year-old woman with complaints of abdominal pain, loss of appetite and weight. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a gastric mass and systemic imaging demonstrated widespread nodal and bilateral adrenal gland involvement. Histopathology of the gastric mass confirmed primary malignant mucosal melanoma of the stomach. The patient received three cycles of Nivolumab but did not respond, and thus, was then offered best supportive care. Although infrequent, mucosal melanoma can arise from the gastrointestinal tract, and in contrast to the cutaneous form, advanced disease usually has a dismal prognosis and responds poorly to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Primary gastric melanoma is an aggressive disease that is diagnosed by exclusion after the differential diagnosis of metastasis from a cutaneous or unknown primary site has been conducted. If available, patients with treatment-naïve mucosal melanoma should be considered for enrollment in clinical trials."

+8522,skin cancer,38267355,Recent Advances in the Biology and CD123-Directed Treatment of Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm.,"Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is an aggressive myeloid malignancy of the dendritic cell lineage that affects patients of all ages, though the incidence appears to be highest in patients over the age of 60 years. Diagnosis is based on the presence of plasmacytoid dendritic cell precursors expressing CD123, the interleukin-3 (IL-3) receptor alpha, and a distinct histologic appearance. Timely diagnosis remains a challenge, due to lack of disease awareness and overlapping biologic and clinical features with other hematologic malignancies. Prognosis is poor with a median overall survival of 8 to 14 months, irrespective of disease presentation pattern. Historically, the principal treatment was remission induction therapy followed by a stem cell transplant (SCT) in eligible patients. However, bridging to SCT is often not achieved with induction chemotherapy regimens. The discovery that CD123 is universally expressed in BPDCN and is considered to have a pathogenetic role in its development paved the way for the successful introduction of tagraxofusp, a recombinant human IL-3 fused to a truncated diphtheria toxin payload, as an initial treatment for BPDCN. Tagraxofusp was approved in 2018 by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of patients aged 2 years and older with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory BPDCN, and by the European Medicines Agency in 2021 for first-line treatment of adults. The advent of tagraxofusp has opened a new era of precision oncology in the treatment of BPDCN. Herein, we present an overview of BPDCN biology, its diagnosis, and treatment options, illustrated by clinical cases."
+8523,skin cancer,38266920,SOX10-Internal Tandem Duplications and PLAG1 or HMGA2 Fusions Segregate Eccrine-Type and Apocrine-Type Cutaneous Mixed Tumors.,"Cutaneous mixed tumors exhibit a wide morphologic diversity and are currently classified into apocrine and eccrine types based on their morphologic differentiation. Some cases of apocrine-type cutaneous mixed tumors (ACMT), namely, hyaline cell-rich apocrine cutaneous mixed tumors (HCR-ACMT) show a prominent or exclusive plasmacytoid myoepithelial component. Although recurrent fusions of PLAG1 have been observed in ACMT, the oncogenic driver of eccrine-type cutaneous mixed tumors (ECMT) is still unknown. The aim of the study was to provide a comprehensive morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular characterization of these tumors. Forty-one cases were included in this study: 28 cases of ACMT/HCR-ACMT and 13 cases of ECMT. After morphologic and immunohistochemical characterization, all specimens were analyzed by RNA sequencing. By immunohistochemistry, all cases showed expression of SOX10, but only ACMT/HCR-ACMT showed expression of PLAG1 and HMGA2. RNA sequencing confirmed the presence of recurrent fusion of PLAG1 or HMGA2 in all cases of ACMT/HCR-ACMT, with a perfect correlation with PLAG1/HMGA2 immunohistochemical status, and revealed internal tandem duplications of SOX10 (SOX10-ITD) in all cases of ECMT. Although TRPS1::PLAG1 was the most frequent fusion, HMGA2::WIF1 and HMGA2::NFIB were detected in ACMT cases. Clustering analysis based on gene expression profiling of 110 tumors, including numerous histotypes, showed that ECMT formed a distinct group compared with all other tumors. ACMT, HCR-ACMT, and salivary gland pleomorphic adenoma clustered together, whereas myoepithelioma with fusions of EWSR1, FUS, PBX1, PBX3, POU5F1, and KLF17 formed another cluster. Follow-up showed no evidence of disease in 23 cases across all 3 tumor types. In conclusion, our study demonstrated for the first time SOX10-ITD in ECMT and HMGA2 fusions in ACMT and further refined the prevalence of PLAG1 fusions in ACMT. Clustering analyses revealed the transcriptomic distance between these different tumors, especially in the heterogenous group of myoepitheliomas."

Patients who have had an SOT are at higher risk for Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), yet there is little evidence concerning potential antitumour effects of immunosuppressive drugs against MCC. Screening seven immunosuppressive drugs in six MCC cell lines revealed that mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) had strong antitumour activity (surpassing mTOR inhibitors) and higher potency in MCC vs. other cancer types. MMF also inhibited MCC tumour growth in mice. Our preclinical findings strongly suggest the utility of MMF in patients with MCC who require immunosuppression."

In those processes, numerous clones must be analyzed to find one of them with the transposon inserted in the pSym. Following this strategy, the insertion might interrupt a gene that can affect the symbiotic phenotype of the bacteria tagged. Here, we have developed a new system based in homologous recombination that generates Sinorhizobium fredii strains with pSyms tagged by the insertion of a suicide vector which harbor a truncated copy of S. fredii HH103 nodZ gene, a mob site, and a kanamycin-resistant gene. When it is introduced by conjugation in a S. fredii strain, the vector integrates in pSym by only one recombination event. This pSym tagged can be transferred in matting experiments to other strains in the presence of a helper plasmid. Following this method, we have tagged several strains and transferred their pSyms to a recipient strain demonstrating the potential of this new system."

We aimed to evaluate and compare the robustness of each optimization method used for breast IMRT using TomoTherapy. A retrospective analysis was performed on 10 patients with left breast cancer. For each optimization method (clipping, virtual bolus, and skin flash), a corresponding 50 Gy/25 fr plan was created in the helical and direct TomoTherapy modes. The dose-volume histogram parameters were compared after shifting the patients anteriorly and posteriorly. In the helical mode, when the patient was not shifted, the median D1cc (minimum dose delivered to 1 cc of the organ volume) of the breast skin for the clipping and virtual bolus plans was 52.2 (interquartile range: 51.9-52.6) and 50.4 (50.1-50.8) Gy, respectively. After an anterior shift, D1cc of the breast skin for the clipping and virtual bolus plans was 56.0 (55.6-56.8) and 50.9 (50.5-51.3) Gy, respectively. When the direct mode was used without shifting the patient, D1cc of the breast skin for the clipping, virtual bolus, and skin flash plans was 52.6 (51.9-53.1), 53.4 (52.6-53.9), and 52.3 (51.7-53.0) Gy, respectively. After shifting anteriorly, D1cc of the breast skin for the clipping, virtual bolus, and skin flash plans was 55.6 (54.1-56.4), 52.4 (52.0-53.0), and 53.6 (52.6-54.6) Gy, respectively. The clipping method is not sufficient for breast IMRT. The virtual bolus and skin flash methods were more robust optimization methods according to our analyses."

No robust data on how pregnancy influences melanoma nor guidelines for PAM management exist. With IRB approval, female patients with a pathology-confirmed melanoma diagnosis within 1 year of pregnancy treated at our institution from 2000 to 2020 were identified. Controls from the cancer registry were matched 1 : 4 when available on decade of age, year of surgery (±5), and stage. We identified 83 PAM patients with median follow-up of 86 months. Mean age at diagnosis was 31 years. 80% AJCC V8 stage I, 2.4% stage II, 13% stage III, 4.8% stage IV. Mean Breslow thickness was 0.79 mm and 3.6% exhibited ulceration. The mean mitotic rate was 0.76/mm 2 . In terms of PAM management, 98.6% of ESD patients and 86.7% of LSD patients received standard-of-care therapy per NCCN guidelines for their disease stage. No clinically significant delays in treatment were noted. Time to treatment from diagnosis to systemic therapy for LSD patients was an average of 46 days (95% CI: 34-59 days).

+8535,skin cancer,38265396,Synthetic Curcumin Analogs in the Treatment of Cancer: A Literature Review.,"Treatment of cancer, one of the most fatal diseases in the present century, has become a topic of global concern. Unfavorable unintentional effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatments have been the main reasons for the research on the discovery of drugs with a broader spectrum of effectiveness and efficiency, with minimal side effects. Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) is a naturally occurring phenolic structure with anticancer properties through its inhibition of cell multiplication, metastasis, and prolongation of cell cycle suppression of apoptosis in various tumor cells. The primary restriction regarding the use of curcumin in cancer treatment is related to poor bioavailability and unfavorable pharmacokinetic profiles of curcumin due to its poor absorption rate, fast metabolism, and systemic elimination. A variety of ways have been proposed to overcome these limitations. With this background, the present study focuses on providing a comprehensive overview of the anticancer properties of curcumin derivatives and the synthesis of curcumin analogs with application to different types of cancers. The regulation of various target and signaling pathways is considered in various cancers, including breast, gastrointestinal, pancreatic, prostate, skin, and lung cancers. A review of the literature indicates that modifying the structure of curcumin through the substitution of the phenyl group and unsaturated carbon branch around the two main sites of oxygen can result in the improvement of physical and chemical properties, as well as the enhancement of physiological activities of the curcumin molecule and the anti-cancer activities of this polyphenol. Curcumin analogs demonstrate anticancer properties at multiple targets at different cell stages and by various signaling biochemical pathways. These include cytokines, transcription factors, growth factors, and modulation of genes involved in cellular proliferation and apoptosis in breast, gastrointestinal, skin, prostate, and lung cancers, thereby mitigating tumor progression."

Leveraging an existing framework for 10 climatic hazards related to greenhouse gas emissions, we identified 18 studies with evidence for an impact on AD through a systematic search. Most climatic hazards had evidence for aggravation of AD the impact ranged from direct effects like particulate matter-induced AD exacerbations from wildfires to the potential for indirect effects like drought-induced food insecurity and migration. We then created maps comparing the past, present, and future projected burden of climatic hazards to global AD prevalence data. Data are lacking, especially from those regions most likely to experience more climatic hazards. We highlight gaps important for future research: understanding the synergistic impacts of climatic hazards on AD, long-term disease activity, the differential impact on vulnerable populations, and how basic mechanisms explain population-level trends."
+8538,skin cancer,38264964,Liprin-α1 contributes to oncogenic MAPK signaling by counteracting ERK activity.,"PTPRF interacting protein alpha 1 (PPFIA1) encodes for liprin-α1, a member of the leukocyte common antigen-related protein tyrosine phosphatase (LAR-RPTPs)-interacting protein family. Liprin-α1 localizes to adhesive and invasive structures in the periphery of cancer cells, where it modulates migration and invasion in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and breast cancer. To study the possible role of liprin-α1 in anticancer drug responses, we screened a library of oncology compounds in cell lines with high endogenous PPFIA1 expression. The compounds with the highest differential responses between high PPFIA1-expressing and silenced cells across cell lines were inhibitors targeting mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) signaling. KRAS proto-oncogene, GTPase (KRAS)-mutated MDA-MB-231 cells were more resistant to trametinib upon PPFIA1 knockdown compared with control cells. In contrast, liprin-α1-depleted HNSCC cells with low RAS activity showed a context-dependent response to MEK/ERK inhibitors. Importantly, we showed that liprin-α1 depletion leads to increased p-ERK1/2 levels in all our studied cell lines independent of KRAS mutational status, suggesting a role of liprin-α1 in the regulation of MAPK oncogenic signaling. Furthermore, liprin-α1 depletion led to more pronounced redistribution of RAS proteins to the cell membrane. Our data suggest that liprin-α1 is an important contributor to oncogenic RAS/MAPK signaling, and the status of liprin-α1 may assist in predicting drug responses in cancer cells in a context-dependent manner."

A comprehensive literature search, systematic review, and recommendations for each clinical question were determined by a multidisciplinary expert panel comprising dermatologists, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, and a pathologist. Surgical resection is the gold-standard therapy of BCC. Radiotherapy or topical treatments, other than surgical resection, have been used in some cases. Patients with unresectable or metastatic BCC require systemic therapy. Novel agents, such as immune response modifiers or hedgehog pathway inhibitors, are emerging worldwide for the treatment of BCC. Based on these viewpoints, four relevant clinical questions regarding, surgical resection, radiotherapy, topical treatment, and systemic therapy, were raised in this report that aims to help clinicians select suitable therapies for their patients."

Beyond clinical manifestation and commonly used clinical markers, there is ongoing research to identify novel biomarkers for allergy diagnosis, monitoring, severity assessment and treatment. Gliomas, the most common and diverse brain tumours, have in parallel undergone changes in classification over time, with specific molecular biomarkers defining glioma subtypes. Gliomas exhibit a complex tumour-immune interphase and distinct immune microenvironment features. Immunotherapy and targeted therapy hold promise for primary brain tumour treatment, but require more specific and effective approaches. Animal studies indicate allergic airway inflammation may delay glioma progression. This collaborative European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) and European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO) Position Paper summarizes recent advances and emerging biomarkers for refined allergy and adult-type diffuse glioma classification to inform future epidemiological and clinical studies. Future research is needed to enhance our understanding of immune-glioma interactions to ultimately improve patient prognosis and survival."

A worldwide increase in kidney transplantation justifies the determination of prognostic biomarkers by collecting detailed patient data on metastasis development. This study aims to characterize the clinical, epidemiological, and histopathological profiles of KTRs who developed metastasis of cSCC. We conducted a retrospective single-center study on 18 KTRs and 21 immunocompetent patients (ICs) with metastatic cSCC, using data from 2004 to 2021. ICs were older (median age 70.5 years) than KTRs (median age: 59.5 years). Both groups were predominantly male with Fitzpatrick skin phototype I/II. The primary tumor appeared around 83.5 months post-transplant, usually in sun-exposed areas (61.1%), though some non-exposed areas in ICs (23.8%) contradicted literature findings. KTRs took longer to develop metastasis (median: 11.0 months) compared to ICs (median: 5.5 months). The mean size of the primary tumor was smaller in KTRs (2.50 cm"

Given that activated immune cells are FDG avid, we hypothesized that an early FDG PET/CT obtained approximately 1 week after starting pembrolizumab could be used to visualize a metabolic flare (MF), with increased tumor FDG activity due to infiltration by activated immune cells, or a metabolic response (MR), due to tumor cell death, that would predict response."

Whether TPC2 plays a pro- or anti-oncogenic role in different tumour conditions is a relevant open question which we have explored in melanoma at different stages of tumour progression. The behaviour of primary melanoma cell line B16F0 and its metastatic subline B16F10 were compared in response to TPC2 modulation by silencing (by small interfering RNA), knock-out (by CRISPR/Cas9) and overexpression (by mCherry-TPC2 transfected plasmid). TPC2 silencing increased cell migration, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and autophagy in the metastatic samples, but abated them in the silenced primary ones. Interestingly, while TPC2 inactivation failed to affect markers of proliferation in both samples, it strongly enhanced the migratory behaviour of the metastatic cells, again suggesting that in the more aggressive phenotype TPC2 plays a specific antimetastatic role. In line with this, overexpression of TPC2 in B16F10 cells resulted in phenotype rescue, that is, a decrease in migratory ability, thus collectively resuming traits of the B16F0 primary cell line. Our research shows a novel role of TPC2 in melanoma cells that is intriguingly different in initial versus late stages of cancer progression."

Despite having a wide variety of therapeutic agents available for the treatment of MF, patients often suffer from a significant decrease in quality of life and rarely achieve long-term remission or complete cure, highlighting a need to develop novel therapeutic agents for this disease. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of a novel anti-tumor agent, GZ17-6.02, which is composed of curcumin, harmine, and isovanillin, against MF in vitro and in murine models. Treatment of HH and MyLa cells with GZ17-6.02 inhibited the growth of both cell lines with IC50 ± standard errors for growth inhibition of 14.37 ± 1.19 µg/mL and 14.56 ± 1.35 µg/mL, respectively, and increased the percentage of cells in late apoptosis (p = .0304 for HH; p = .0301 for MyLa). Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses revealed that GZ17-6.02 suppressed several pathways, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-ɑ signaling via nuclear factor (NF)-kB, mammalian target of rapamycin complex (mTORC)1, and Pi3K/Akt/mTOR signaling. In a subcutaneous tumor model, GZ17-6.02 decreased tumor volume (p = .002) and weight (p = .009) compared to control conditions. Proteomic analysis of tumor samples showed that GZ17-6.02 suppressed the expression of several proteins that may promote CTCL growth, including mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)1, MAPK3, Growth factor receptor bound protein (GRB)2, and Mediator of RAP80 interactions and targeting subunit of 40 kDa (MERIT)40."

Thus, novel combinations are needed to increase the efficacy and duration of response to MEKi in BRAF WT melanoma. Disulfiram and its metabolite diethyldithiocarbamate are known to have antitumor effects related to cellular stress, and induction of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress was found to synergize with MEK inhibitors in NRAS-mutated melanoma cells. Therefore, we investigated the combination of both therapeutics to test their effects on BRAF-WT melanoma cells and compared them with monotherapy using the MEKi trametinib."

To examine this scenario, this study investigated the potential for redox modulation of oxidatively-induced DNA damage by ascorbate in malignant melanoma (MM) cancer cells, to selectively enhance both DNA damage and MM cell killing. DNA damage was assessed by Comet and ɣH2AX assays, intracellular oxidising species by dichlorofluorescein fluorescence, a key antioxidant enzymatic defence by assessment of catalase activity and cell survival was determined by clonogenic assay. Comet revealed that MM cells had higher endogenous DNA damage levels than normal keratinocytes (HaCaT cells); this correlated MM cells having higher intracellular oxidising species and lower catalase activity, and ranked with MM cell melanin pigmentation.

Despite the existence of many well-known TYR (tyrosinase) inhibitors commercialized in skin formulations, their hsTYR-inhibition efficacy remains poor since most of them were investigated over mushroom tyrosinase (abTYR), a model with low homology relative to hsTYR. Considering the need for new potent hsTYR inhibitors, we designed and synthesized a series of indanones starting from 4-hydroxy compound 1a, one of the two most active derivatives reported to date against the human enzyme, together with marketed thiamidol. We observed that analogues featuring 4-amino and 4-amido-2',4'-dihydroxyindanone motifs showed two-to ten-fold increase in activity over human melanoma MNT-1 cell lysates, and a ten-fold improvement in a 4-days whole-cell experiment, compared to parent analogue 1a.

Our previous work suggests that αSyn can facilitate DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair, promoting genomic stability. We now show that αSyn is preferentially enriched within the nucleolus in the SK-MEL28 melanoma cell line, where it colocalizes with DNA damage markers and DSBs. Inducing DSBs specifically within nucleolar ribosomal DNA (rDNA) increases αSyn levels near sites of damage. αSyn knockout increases DNA damage within the nucleolus at baseline, after specific rDNA DSB induction, and prolongs the rate of recovery from this induced damage. αSyn is important downstream of ATM signaling to facilitate 53BP1 recruitment to DSBs, reducing micronuclei formation and promoting cellular proliferation, migration, and invasion."

The regulation of GC antibody diversification is of fundamental importance but not well understood. We found that autoimmune regulator (AIRE), the molecule essential for T cell tolerance, is expressed in GC B cells in a CD40-dependent manner, interacts with AID and negatively regulates antibody affinity maturation and class switching by inhibiting AID function.

Among the amino acid-metabolizing enzymes is an L-amino-acid oxidase called interleukin-4 induced 1 (IL4I1), which depletes essential amino acids in immune cells and is associated with a poor prognosis in various cancer types. Although IL4I1 is involved in immune metabolism abnormalities, its effect on the therapeutic efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors is unknown. In this study, we established murine melanoma cells overexpressing IL4I1 and investigated their effects on the intratumor immune microenvironment and the antitumor efficacy of anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibodies (Abs) in a syngeneic mouse model. As a result, we found that IL4I1-overexpressing B16-F10-derived tumors showed resistance to anti-PD-L1 Ab therapy. Transcriptome analysis revealed that immunosuppressive genes were globally upregulated in the IL4I1-overexpressing tumors. Consistently, we showed that IL4I1-overexpressing tumors exhibited an altered subset of lymphoid cells and particularly significant suppression of cytotoxic T cell infiltration compared to mock-infected B16-F10-derived tumors. After treatment with anti-PD-L1 Abs, we also found a more prominent elevation of tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) marker, CD68, in the IL4I1-overexpressing tumors than in the mock tumors. Consistently, we confirmed an enhanced TAM infiltration in the IL4I1-overexpressing tumors and a functional involvement of TAMs in the tumor growth. These observations indicate that IL4I1 reprograms the tumor microenvironment into an immunosuppressive state and thereby confers resistance to anti-PD-L1 Abs."

Human skin can be considered as an organ that is very frequently exposed to various stress factors, of which light plays an important role. The present study focuses on adult human fibroblasts exposed to two types of light stress. Orange light with a wavelength of 590 nm was used here to stimulate the photosensitizer localized in the cells as a residual dose of photodynamic therapy (PDT). On the other hand, near-infrared light with a wavelength of 808 nm was considered for photobiomodulation (PBM), which is often used in healing processes. Confocal fluorescence microscopy was used to observe changes in intercellular communication, mitochondrial structures, and cytoskeletal dynamics defined by the remodulation of β-actin of fibroblasts. The number of β-actin bundles forming spherical structures was detected after light exposure. These structures as β-actin oligomers were confirmed with super-resolution microscopy. While PDT led to the disintegration of actin oligomers, PBM increased their number. The interaction of β-actin with mitochondria was observed. The combination of PDT and PBM treatments is important to minimize the side effects of cancer treatment with PDT on healthy cells, as shown by the cell metabolism assay in this work. In this work, β-actin is presented as an important parameter that changes and is involved in the response of cells to PDT and PBM."

+8589,skin cancer,38256549,Thyroid Disorders in Systemic Sclerosis: A Comprehensive Review.,"Systemic sclerosis, also referred to as scleroderma, is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects both internal organs and the skin. Systemic sclerosis predominantly affects female patients and can coexist with other disorders, including those affecting the thyroid gland. Common symptoms such as fatigue and weight changes can be attributed to either systemic sclerosis or thyroid disease. In this comprehensive review, an extensive analysis is conducted using research from 2002 to 2022, sourced from PubMed. The main focus of this exploration is to understand the intricate relationship between thyroid disorders and systemic sclerosis. We obtained these results by analyzing a number of 32285 patients included in 21 original studies. The existing evidence suggests that there is a higher incidence of elevated TSH levels and hypothyroidism in patients with systemic sclerosis, particularly in females, compared to the general population. This remains true even when comparing patients from iodine-deficient regions. Additionally, there is an increased occurrence of hyperthyroidism in the context of systemic sclerosis, which negatively impacts the prognosis of these patients. Furthermore, thyroid antibodies, predominantly anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies, and autoimmune disorders are more commonly observed in individuals with systemic sclerosis. Although thyroid nodules are not specifically linked to the disease, when considering thyroid volume, it is observed that the thyroid gland in systemic sclerosis patients has a decreased volume, possibly due to fibrosis. Conversely, other studies have revealed that patients without autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) are more likely to have a history of digital ulcers, pulmonary fibrosis detected by computed tomography scan, and a requirement for immunosuppressive medication. The majority of the studies did not establish a connection between thyroid disease in these patients and the occurrence of the limited or diffuse forms of systemic sclerosis, as well as the presence of digital ulcers, calcinosis, pulmonary arterial hypertension, scleroderma renal crisis, Raynaud phenomenon, and various other clinical manifestations."

Both drugs are well-recognized as antineoplastic drugs and exert their effect by blocking the cell cycle. Topical and intralesional formulations are available and have been studied in both non-neoplastic and cancerous lesions. However, data comparing the effect of bleomycin and 5-FU in the dermatological disorders are limited. This review outlines the action mechanisms of both drugs and compares their clinical efficacies in a wide range of dermatologic diseases including hypertrophic scar, wart, skin cancer, vascular malformation, hemangioma, and vitiligo, and discusses the overall safety of the drugs. Intralesional bleomycin treatment is effective in hypertrophic scars and warts, but intralesional 5-FU may also be considered since it is cheaper and less painful. Moreover, intralesional 5-FU and bleomycin injection is a viable option for premalignant lesions (i.e., actinic keratosis) and inoperable skin cancers. Both bleomycin and 5-FU have been applied as treatment adjuncts for vitiligo, with 5-FU showing a slightly better outcome. Both agents have a good safety profile, and no serious side effects have been reported following their use in the field of dermatology."

+8595,skin cancer,38256168,Targeting the Melanocortin 1 Receptor in Melanoma: Biological Activity of α-MSH-Peptide Conjugates.,"Malignant melanoma is one of the most aggressive and resistant tumor types, with high metastatic properties. Because of the lack of suitable chemotherapeutic agents for treatment, the 5-year survival rate of melanoma patients with regional and distant metastases is lower than 10%. Targeted tumor therapy that provides several promising results might be a good option for the treatment of malignant melanomas. Our goal was to develop novel melanoma-specific peptide-drug conjugates for targeted tumor therapy. Melanocortin-1-receptor (MC1R) is a cell surface receptor responsible for melanogenesis and it is overexpressed on the surface of melanoma cells, providing a good target. Its native ligand, α-MSH (α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone) peptide, or its derivatives, might be potential homing devices for this purpose. Therefore, we prepared three α-MSH derivative-daunomycin (Dau) conjugates and their in vitro and in vivo antitumor activities were compared. Dau has an autofluorescence property; therefore, it is suitable for preparing conjugates for in vitro (e.g., cellular uptake) and in vivo experiments. Dau was attached to the peptides via a non-cleavable oxime linkage that was applied efficiently in our previous experiments, resulting in conjugates with high tumor growth inhibition activity. The results indicated that the most promising conjugate was the compound in which Dau was connected to the side chain of Lys (Ac-SYSNleEHFRWGK(Dau=Aoa)PV-NH"
+8596,skin cancer,38256115,Multi-Omics Approach to Improved Diagnosis and Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis.,"Psoriasis and atopic dermatitis fall within the category of cutaneous immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). The prevalence of IMIDs is increasing in industrialized societies, influenced by both environmental changes and a genetic predisposition. However, the exact immune factors driving these chronic, progressive diseases are not fully understood. By using multi-omics techniques in cutaneous IMIDs, it is expected to advance the understanding of skin biology, uncover the underlying mechanisms of skin conditions, and potentially devise precise and personalized approaches to diagnosis and treatment. We provide a narrative review of the current knowledge in genomics, epigenomics, and proteomics of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. A literature search was performed for articles published until 30 November 2023. Although there is still much to uncover, recent evidence has already provided valuable insights, such as proteomic profiles that permit differentiating psoriasis from mycosis fungoides and β-defensin 2 correlation to PASI and its drop due to secukinumab first injection, among others."
+8597,skin cancer,38256086,POSS Engineering of Multifunctional Nanoplatforms for Chemo-Mild Photothermal Synergistic Therapy.,"Chemo-mild photothermal synergistic therapy can effectively inhibit tumor growth under mild hyperthermia, minimizing damage to nearby healthy tissues and skin while ensuring therapeutic efficacy. In this paper, we develop a multifunctional study based on polyhedral oligomeric sesquisiloxane (POSS) that exhibits a synergistic therapeutic effect through mild photothermal and chemotherapy treatments (POSS-SQ-DOX). The nanoplatform utilizes SQ-N as a photothermal agent (PTA) for mild photothermal, while doxorubicin (DOX) serves as the chemotherapeutic drug for chemotherapy. By incorporating POSS into the nanoplatform, we successfully prevent the aggregation of SQ-N in aqueous solutions, thus maintaining its excellent photothermal properties both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the introduction of polyethylene glycol (PEG) significantly enhances cell permeability, which contributes to the remarkable therapeutic effect of POSS-SQ-DOX NPs. Our studies on the photothermal properties of POSS-SQ-DOX NPs demonstrate their high photothermal conversion efficiency (62.3%) and stability, confirming their suitability for use in mild photothermal therapy. A combination index value (CI = 0.72) verified the presence of a synergistic effect between these two treatments, indicating that POSS-SQ-DOX NPs exhibited significantly higher cell mortality (74.7%) and tumor inhibition rate (72.7%) compared to single chemotherapy and mild photothermal therapy. This observation highlights the synergistic therapeutic potential of POSS-SQ-DOX NPs. Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo toxicity tests suggest that the absence of cytotoxicity and excellent biocompatibility of POSS-SQ-DOX NPs provide a guarantee for clinical applications. Therefore, utilizing near-infrared light-triggering POSS-SQ-DOX NPs can serve as chemo-mild photothermal PTA, while functionalized POSS-SQ-DOX NPs hold great promise as a novel nanoplatform that may drive significant advancements in the field of chemo-mild photothermal therapy."

We established an in vivo chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM)-based UM xenograft model from UPMD2 and UPMM3 cell lines to examine its feasibility for the improvement of selection of drug candidates. The efficacy of calcium electroporation (CaEP) with 5 or 10 mM calcium chloride (Ca) and electrochemotherapy (ECT) with 1 or 2.5 µg/mL bleomycin in comparison to monotherapy with the tested drug or electroporation (EP) alone was investigated on the generated UM tumors. CaEP and ECT showed a similar reduction of proliferation and melanocytic expansion with a dose-dependent effect for bleomycin, whereas CaEP induced a significant increase of the apoptosis and a reduction of vascularization with varying sensitivity for the two xenograft types. Our in vivo results suggest that CaEP and ECT may facilitate the adequate local tumor control and contribute to the preservation of the bulbus, potentially opening new horizons in the adjuvant treatment of advanced UM."

This systematic review investigates genetic and immunological markers as potential targets for therapy in craniopharyngiomas, assessing their involvement in tumorigenesis, and their influence on prognosis and treatment strategies. The systematic review adhered to PRISMA guidelines, with a thorough literature search conducted on PubMed, Ovid MED-LINE, and Ovid EMBASE. Employing MeSH terms and Boolean operators, the search focused on craniopharyngiomas, targeted or molecular therapy, and clinical outcomes or adverse events. Inclusion criteria encompassed English language studies, clinical trials (randomized or non-randomized), and investigations into adamantinomatous or papillary craniopharyngiomas. Targeted therapies, either standalone or combined with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, were examined if they included clinical outcomes or adverse event analysis. Primary outcomes assessed disease response through follow-up MRI scans, categorizing responses as follows: complete response (CR), near-complete response (NCR), partial response, and stable or progressive disease based on lesion regression percentages. Secondary outcomes included treatment type and duration, as well as adverse events. A total of 891 papers were initially identified, of which 26 studies spanning from 2000 to 2023 were finally included in the review. Two tables highlighted adamantinomatous and papillary craniopharyngiomas, encompassing 7 and 19 studies, respectively. For adamantinomatous craniopharyngiomas, Interferon-2α was the predominant targeted therapy (29%), whereas dabrafenib took precedence (70%) for papillary craniopharyngiomas. Treatment durations varied, ranging from 1.7 to 28 months. Positive responses, including CR or NCR, were observed in both types of craniopharyngiomas (29% CR for adamantinomatous; 32% CR for papillary). Adverse events, such as constitutional symptoms and skin changes, were reported, emphasizing the need for vigilant monitoring and personalized management to enhance treatment tolerability. Overall, the data highlighted a diverse landscape of targeted therapies with encouraging responses and manageable adverse events, underscoring the importance of ongoing research and individualized patient care in the exploration of treatment options for craniopharyngiomas. In the realm of targeted therapies for craniopharyngiomas, tocilizumab and dabrafenib emerged as prominent choices for adamantinomatous and papillary cases, respectively. While adverse events were common, their manageable nature underscored the importance of vigilant monitoring and personalized management. Acknowledging limitations, future research should prioritize larger, well-designed clinical trials and standardized treatment protocols to enhance our understanding of the impact of targeted therapies on craniopharyngioma patients."

A brain CT scan showed hyperdense lesions within the left hemispheric sulcus, which raised suspicion of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage. A T1-weighted MRI showed multiple tiny leptomeningeal enhancements in the same area, and a digital subtraction angiography showed no signs of vascular abnormality. Cerebrospinal fluid cytology revealed atypical melanin-containing cells with minimal pleomorphism. One month later, the patient developed sixth nerve palsy, which was determined to be due to intracranial hypertension. Multiple giant nevi on the legs, trunk, and scalp were also observed. A skin biopsy showed well-defined and symmetrical proliferation of melanocytic nevus cell nests in the dermis. An open biopsy was performed due to the suspicious leptomeningeal lesions, which surprisingly revealed diffuse and thick black-colored tissue infiltration of the leptomeninges. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of meningeal melanocytosis. A ventriculoperitoneal shunt was then placed, and the patient's neurological symptoms gradually improved. Based on the presence of multiple giant nevi on the patient's skin and the finding of diffuse meningeal melanocytosis during the open biopsy, the patient was diagnosed with neurocutaneous melanosis. The patient received 6 cycles triweekly of Ipilimumab and Nivolumab 8 months after initial diagnosis. Unfortunately, the disease progressed and the patient passed away 14 months after initial diagnosis."

The authors have nearly a decade of experience with ICG in a high-volume institution, which has resulted in publications and ongoing future research evaluating its use for predicting mastectomy skin flap perfusion for reconstruction, lymphatic mapping for sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy, and axillary reverse mapping (ARM) for prevention of lymphoedema. In the authors' experience, routine use of ICG angiography during breast reconstruction postmastectomy was demonstrated to be cost-effective for the reduction of ischemic complications in the Australian setting. A novel tracer combination, ICG-technetium-99m offered a safe and effective substitute to the ""gold standard"" dual tracer for SLN biopsy, although greater costs were associated with ICG. An ongoing trial will evaluate ARM node identification using ICG fluorescence during axillary lymph node dissection and potential predictive factors of ARM node involvement. These data add to the growing literature on ICG and allow future research to build on this to improve understanding of the potential benefits of fluorescence-guided surgery in breast cancer and reconstruction surgery."

Globally, cancer remains a leading cause of mortality, and conventional treatments, such as chemotherapy, often lack precision and cause adverse effects. The integration of peptides into nanomedicine offers a promising solution for enhancing the targeting and delivery of therapeutic agents. This review focuses on the three primary applications of peptides: cancer cell-targeting ligands, building blocks for self-assembling nanostructures, and elements of stimuli-responsive systems. Nanoparticles modified with peptides improved targeting of cancer cells, minimized damage to healthy tissues, and optimized drug delivery. The versatility of self-assembled peptide structures makes them an innovative vehicle for drug delivery by leveraging their biocompatibility and diverse nanoarchitectures. In particular, the mechanism of cell death induced by self-assembled structures offers a novel approach to cancer therapy. In addition, peptides in stimuli-responsive systems enable precise drug release in response to specific conditions in the tumor microenvironment. The use of peptides in nanomedicine not only augments the efficacy and safety of cancer treatments but also suggests new research directions. In this review, we introduce systems and functionalization methods using peptides or peptide-modified nanoparticles to overcome challenges in the treatment of specific cancers, including breast cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, skin cancer, glioma, osteosarcoma, and cervical cancer."
+8604,skin cancer,38255297,Role of a Polyphenol-Enriched Blueberry Preparation on Inhibition of Melanoma Cancer Stem Cells and Modulation of MicroRNAs.,"Melanoma is a type of skin cancer known for its high mortality rate. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a subpopulation of cancer cells that significantly contribute to tumour recurrence and differentiation. Epigenetic-specific changes involving miRNAs maintain CSCs. Plant polyphenols have been reported to be involved in cancer chemoprevention and chemotherapy, with miRNAs being the novel effectors in their biological activities. A polyphenol-enriched blueberry preparation (PEBP) derived from fermented blueberries has demonstrated promising chemopreventative properties on breast cancer stem cells by influencing inflammatory pathways and miRNAs. In our current investigation, we seek to unveil the impact of PEBP on inhibiting melanoma development and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Our study employs various human cell lines, including an ex vivo cell line derived from a patient's metastatic tumour. We found that it elevates miR-200c, increasing E-cadherin expression and inhibiting miR-210-3p through NF-κB signalling, impacting Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT), a critical process in cancer progression. PEBP increases the SOCS1 expression, potentially contributing to miR-210-3p inhibition. Experiments involving miRNA manipulation confirm their functional roles. The study suggests that PEBP's anti-inflammatory effects involve regulating miR-200c and miR-210 expression and their targets in EMT-related pathways. The overall aim is to provide evidence-based supportive care and preclinical evaluation of PEBP, offering a promising strategy for skin cancer chemoprevention."
+8605,skin cancer,38255184,Crossroads between Skin and Endocrine Glands: The Interplay of Lichen Planus with Thyroid Anomalies.,"In this narrative review, we aimed to overview the interplay between lichen planus (LP) and thyroid conditions (TCs) from a dual perspective (dermatologic and endocrine), since a current gap in understanding LP-TC connections is found so far and the topic is still a matter of debate. We searched PubMed from Inception to October 2023 by using the key terms ""lichen planus"" and ""thyroid"", (alternatively, ""endocrine"" or ""hormone""). We included original clinical studies in humans according to three sections: LP and TC in terms of dysfunction, autoimmunity, and neoplasia. Six studies confirmed an association between the thyroid dysfunction (exclusively hypothyroidism) and LP/OL (oral LP); of note, only one study addressed cutaneous LP. The sample size of LP/OLP groups varied from 12-14 to 1500 individuals. Hypothyroidism prevalence in OLP was of 30-50%. A higher rate of levothyroxine replacement was identified among OLP patients, at 10% versus 2.5% in controls. The highest OR (odd ratio) of treated hypothyroidism amid OLP was of 2.99 ("

Notably, sulforaphane (SFN), an isothiocyanate derived from cruciferous vegetables including broccoli and cabbage, has exhibited potent chemosensitizing capabilities across diverse cancer types of bone, brain, breast, lung, skin, etc. Chemosensitization refers to the enhancement of cancer cell sensitivity to chemotherapy agents, counteracting the chemoresistance often developed by tumor cells. Mechanistically, SFN orchestrates this sensitization by modulating an array of cellular signaling pathways (e.g., Akt/mTOR, NF-κB, Wnt/β-catenin), and regulating the expression and activity of pivotal genes, proteins, and enzymes (e.g., p53, p21, survivin, Bcl-2, caspases). When combined with conventional chemotherapeutic agents, SFN synergistically inhibits cancer cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and metastasis while potentiating drug-induced apoptosis. This positions SFN as a potential adjunct in cancer therapy to augment the efficacy of standard treatments. Ongoing preclinical and clinical investigations aim to further delineate the therapeutic potential of SFN in oncology. This review illuminates the multifaceted role of this phytochemical, emphasizing its potential to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of anti-cancer agents, suggesting its prospective contributions to cancer chemosensitization and management."

Early acquisition of post-zygotic somatic mutations has been postulated to underlie the pathogenesis of NCM. The pathogenesis of NCM remains to be fully elucidated, and treatment options have not been established. Here, we report for the first time, multiregional genomic analyses in a 3-year-old autopsied girl with leptomeningeal melanomatosis associated with NCM, in which a ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt was inserted for the treatment of hydrocephalus. The patient expired six months after the onset due to respiratory failure caused by abdominal dissemination via VP shunt. We performed multiregional exome sequencing to identify genomic differences among brain and abdominal tumors, nevus, and normal tissues. A total of 87 somatic mutations were found in 71 genes, with a significantly large number of gene mutations found in the tumor site. The genetic alterations detected in the nevus were only few and not shared with other sites. Three mutations, namely GNAQ R183Q, S1PR3 G89S and NRAS G12V, considered pathogenic, were found, although S1PR3 mutations have not been previously reported in melanocytic tumors. GNAQ and S1PR3 mutations were shared in both tumor and normal sites. Moreover, the mutant allele frequencies of the two mutations were markedly higher in tumor sites than in normal sites, with copy-neutral loss-of-heterozygosity (CN-LOH) occurring in tumor. NRAS mutation was found only in the abdominal tumor and was thought to be responsible for malignant progression in the present case. Multiregional comprehensive genetic analysis may lead to discovering novel driver mutations associated with tumorigenesis and targeted therapy."

This study aimed to investigate the role of long non-coding RNA MIR205 host gene (lncRNA MIR205HG) in proliferation, invasion, and migration of melanoma cells via jumonji domain containing 2C (JMJD2C) and ALKB homolog 5 (ALKBH5). Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction or Western blot assay showed that MIR205HG, JMJD2C, and ALKBH5 were increased in melanoma cell lines. Cell counting kit-8, colony formation, and Transwell assays showed that silencing MIR205HG inhibited proliferation, invasion, and migration of melanoma cells. RNA immunoprecipitation, actinomycin D treatment, and chromatin immunoprecipitation showed that MIR205HG may bind to human antigen R (HuR, ELAVL1) and stabilized JMJD2C expression, and JMJD2C may increase the enrichment of H3K9me3 in the ALKBH5 promotor region to promote ALKBH5 transcription. The tumor xenograft assay based on subcutaneous injection of sh-MIR205HG-treated melanoma cells showed that silencing MIR205HG suppressed tumor growth and reduced Ki67 positive rate by inactivating the JMJD2C/ALKBH5 axis. Generally, MIR205HG facilitated proliferation, invasion, and migration of melanoma cells through HuR-mediated stabilization of JMJD2C and increasing ALKBH5 transcription by erasing H3K9me3."
+8623,skin cancer,38252540,Pedicle Lengthening with Reducing Size Mismatch in Free Anterolateral Free Flap.,"When plastic surgeons reconstruct the defects for recurrent cancer, a longer vascular pedicle is often necessary because usable vessels are sacrificed in previous surgeries or radiotherapy. In this case, we would like to present another method for free anterolateral thigh flap pedicle elongation. A 59-year-old man was referred to our clinic for reconstruction after unilateral total maxillectomy and orbital exenteration due to recurrent squamous cell carcinoma. We need to cover the full-thickness defect in the left orbital area (8×7 cm sized), intraoral area (5×7 cm sized), and orbital floor. Due to prior surgeries and radiotherapy, we needed a vascular pedicle up to 15 cm for a distant recipient vessel. When harvesting the flap, we transected just proximal to the bifurcation site, harvested a muscular branch to vastus intermedius together, and used it for pedicle elongation by vessel turning over. A 17×6 cm sized musculocutaneous flap was harvested, and the total length of the pedicle was 15 cm. As the anastomosis was done at the distal portion of the vastus intermedius branch, there was no size mismatch with the superior thyroid artery. Both skin defects and the orbital floor were covered without any tension. The reconstruction was successful without any flap compromise 1 year after surgery. This case suggests another option for microsurgeons to lengthen the flap pedicle and reduce size mismatch using anatomical variability of the lateral circumflex femoral artery."
+8624,skin cancer,38252534,Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment of Basal Cell Carcinoma.,"Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is one among the most prevalent malignant neoplasms that has exhibited a notable surge in global incidence over recent decades. This slow-growing malignancy is typified by its localized invasiveness while demonstrating an exceedingly rare metastatic proclivity. It predominantly afflicts the sun-exposed skin of aging individuals, with a heightened predilection for the maxillofacial region. Scraping cytology offers numerous benefits, including the potential for an earlier diagnosis and the absence of scarring, as opposed to a biopsy. The cytodiagnosis of BCC proves to be straightforward with various techniques, making it highly advantageous in an outpatient environment as a swift diagnostic method when planning a surgical excision. Our study sought to scrutinize the clinicopathological facets of BCC within the maxillofacial region. We compared advanced cytological techniques for diagnosis, including scraping, scratching, and imprinting using Papanicolau and Diff-Quick stains. In addition, we evaluated the therapeutic effectiveness of diode lasers operating at wavelengths of 940nm and 980n. A retrospective analysis was undertaken, encompassing facial BCC lesions smaller than 2.5 cm in diameter that underwent treatment through diode laser ablation between September 2021 and August 2023 at Ramadi Teaching Hospital and a private clinic in Ramadi City, Iraq. Among the cohort of 48 patients with BCC, a majority (58%) were 50 years of age or older, with a predominance of males (62%). The mean duration of lesion existence exceeded 4 months. The anatomical region most commonly involved was the middle 1/3 of the face, accounting for 34% of cases. Intriguingly, the therapeutic approach of diode laser ablation yielded exceptional esthetic and functional outcomes, which were consistently observed throughout the follow-up period post-healing. The occurrence of complications following diode laser ablation was relatively infrequent. This investigation revealed that cytological examination is easily conducted, eliminating the need for local anesthesia, saving time, being more cost-effective than a conventional biopsy, and delivering swift diagnoses. The process of smear-taking for cytology is well-tolerated, inflicting minimal trauma or discomfort on the patient. BCC predominantly afflicts elderly males and most frequently affects the middle third of the face. Notably, nodular BCC emerged as the prevailing histological subtype. The use of diode laser ablation exhibited a commendable track record, producing exemplary functional and esthetic outcomes over a 6-month follow-up period."
+8625,skin cancer,38252268,Exosome: From biology to drug delivery.,"In recent years, different advancements have been observed in nanosized drug delivery systems. Factors such as stability, safety and targeting efficiency cause hindrances in the clinical translation of these synthetic nanocarriers. Therefore, researchers employed endogenous nanocarriers like exosomes as drug delivery vehicles that have an inherent ability to target more efficiently after appropriate functionalization and show higher biocompatibility and less immunogenicity and facilitate penetration through the biological barriers more quickly than the other available carriers. Exosomes are biologically derived lipid bilayer-enclosed nanosized extracellular vesicles (size ranges from 30 to 150 nm) secreted from both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and appears significantly in the extracellular space. These EVs (extracellular vesicles) can exist in different sources, including mammals, plants and microorganisms. Different advanced techniques have been introduced for the isolation of exosomes to overcome the existing barriers present with conventional methods. Extensive research on the application of exosomes in therapeutic delivery for treating various diseases related to central nervous system, bone, cancer, skin, etc. has been employed.

In this study, we advanced 3D skin equivalents to model the inflammatory skin diseases atopic dermatitis and psoriasis by cytokine stimulation, and were successful in integrating TH1 T cells into skin models to develop an immunocompetent 3D psoriasis model. We performed in-depth histological and functional characterization of 3D skin equivalents and validated them in terms of tissue architecture, pathological changes, expression of antimicrobial peptides and Staphylococcus aureus colonization using 3D reconstruction by multiphoton microscopy and phenotyping by highly multiplexed 'co-detection by indexing' (CODEX) microscopy. We show that our skin equivalents have a structural architecture with a well-developed dermis and epidermis, thus resembling human skin. In addition, the skin models of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis show several phenotypic features of inflammatory skin disease, including disturbed epidermal differentiation and alterations in the expression of epidermal barrier genes and antimicrobial peptides, and can be reliably used to test novel treatment strategies.

BCC invasion of the brain occurs quite rarely. Reconstruction approaches along with surgical excision are the gold standard for treating BCC. In this case, we describe a 75-year-old female patient with highly invasive BCC of the head with subdural invasion. The patient underwent surgery in 2022 in another neurosurgery clinic due to BCC of the head, frequent infection of the skin, and involvement of bone structures by the tumor. The patient presented in 2023 to the neurosurgery clinic at Saint Marina University Hospital with cephalgia, right-side hemiparesis, and a 10 x 10 cm skin defect. On a CT scan, we discovered an invasion of the parietal bones of the skull with an extension to the left subdural space. A craniectomy was performed under general anesthesia, along with hard resection to clear the margins of the BCC that had penetrated the cranial bone. Following the resection of the BCC, reconstruction of the skin defect was performed by a plastic surgeon. Consequently, a satisfactory cosmetic outcome was achieved. Postoperative complications were not observed. The patient was followed up for six months."

Postoperative defects in perioral structures present a considerable challenge for reconstruction. Currently, reconstruction of perioral structures is performed using local, distant, and free flaps. Herein, we present a case of reconstruction with a Karapandzic flap after the excision of basal cell carcinoma in the lower lip. The patient was a 76-year-old man with a skin tumor on his left lower lip. He consulted a dermatologist regarding the tumor growth and was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma upon biopsy. Dermatological excision of the tumor at a 7-mm margin resulted in a defect in half of the lower lip, cheek skin, and corner of the mouth. The defects were reconstructed using a Karapandzic flap for functional considerations. The patient was satisfied with his aesthetic appearance, and no functional deficits were observed. In conclusion, the Karapandzic flap is suitable for reconstructing large defects of the lower lip and can be completed quickly and safely in a single procedure."

This cross-sectional study used the Danish national registers and Danish Skin Cohort to assess the prevalence of risk factors that potentially impact choice of treatment with oral Janus kinase inhibitors in adult patients with atopic dermatitis. From the Danish national registers and Danish Skin Cohort, 18,618 and 3,573 adults with atopic dermatitis, respectively, were identified. Half of the patients (49.5%) had, at some point, been registered to have at least 1 risk factor that could impact treatment with oral Janus kinase inhibitors. Non-modifiable risk factors recorded were cancer (5.6%), major adverse cardiovascular events (2.6%), venous thromboembolism (2.0%), smoking history (15.6%), and age ≥ 65 years (12.4%). Among patients ≥ 65 years of age, the mean (standard deviation) number of risk factors were 3 (1.4), and almost half of these patients had, at some point, been registered to have 1 or more non-modifiable risk factors in addition to their age. In conclusion, risk factors that may impact treatment with oral Janus kinase inhibitors were frequent in Danish adults with atopic dermatitis, especially among older individuals. Dermatologists need support and continuously updated long-term safety data when risk-evaluating patients with atopic dermatitis prior to initiation of advanced."

Actinic keratosis (AK), which is considered cSCC in situ, may progress into invasive tumors. Currently, there are no serum markers that can differentiate cSCC from AK. The aim of our study was to assess angiogenesis and oxidative stress in patients with cSCC and patients with AK and find reliable serum markers useful in the diagnosis of cSCC. We have determined the serum levels of a group of proangiogenic factors (MMP-2, MMP-9, VEGF, FGF2), the total antioxidative status/capacity (TAS/TAC), ImAnOx, a marker of oxidative stress, and HIF-1 alpha, an indicator of hypoxia. We have identified higher serum levels of MMP-2. MMP-9, VEGF, FGF2 and HIF-1 alpha and lower levels of ImAnOx in cSCC patients compared to AK patients and controls. There were no statistically significant differences between AK patients and controls. We have found positive correlations between proangiogenic markers and HIF-1 alpha and negative correlations between proangiogenic markers and ImAnOx. Our results suggest that MMP-2, MMP-9, VEGF, FGF2, ImAnOx and HIF-1 may be promising markers for differentiating AK from cSCC, and there is a link between angiogenesis, oxidative stress and hypoxia."

While biological, immunological, and targeted therapies have brought a revolution in improving quality of life and survival rates for certain dermatological conditions, there remains a stringent demand for new remedies. Nature has long served as an inspiration for drug development. Recent studies have identified bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs) in both skin cell lines and human skin. Additionally, bitter natural compounds have shown promising benefits in addressing skin aging, wound healing, inflammatory skin conditions, and even skin cancer. Thus, TAS2Rs may represent a promising target in all these processes. In this review, we summarize evidence supporting the presence of TAS2Rs in the skin and emphasize their potential as drug targets for addressing skin aging, wound healing, inflammatory skin conditions, and skin carcinogenesis. To our knowledge, this is a pioneering work in connecting information on TAS2Rs expression in skin and skin cells with the impact of bitter phytochemicals on various beneficial effects related to skin disorders."

The disease is often diagnosed late, metastases being present in approximately two-thirds of patients at the time of initial diagnosis. Solitary metastasis of ARMM to a distant organ is exceedingly rare. A 76-year-old woman with a history of laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection of an ARMM 13 months previously, was found to have a solitary liver metastasis in the follow-up computed tomography. A preoperative work-up showed no other distant metastases nor contraindication to surgery. It was therefore considered that resection was indicated. The metachronous solitary liver metastasis from an ARMM was treated by laparoscopic wedge hepatectomy of the eighth segment 18 months after excision of her primary ARMM. Adjuvant therapy with pembrolizumab was initiated and continued at 6-week intervals. The patient has not exhibited any immune related Adverse Effects (irAE) during or subsequent to treatment with pembrolizmab and has now completed 12 months of adjuvant pembrolizumab therapy, having survived 33 months from the initial operation for primary ARMM, and remaining recurrence-free 14 months after hepatectomy. ARMM is extremely rare and resection of a metachronous solitary metastasis followed by adjuvant therapy has not previously been reported. We hope this case will be useful for clinicians who might treat similar patients."

This paper proposes a multimodal method for differentiating various clinical forms of basal cell carcinoma and benign neoplasms that includes machine learning. This study was conducted on 37 neoplasms, including benign neoplasms and five different clinical forms of basal cell carcinoma. The proposed multimodal screening method combines diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, optical coherence tomography and high-frequency ultrasound. Using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, the coefficients of melanin pigmentation, erythema, hemoglobin content, and the slope coefficient of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy in the wavelength range 650-800 nm were determined. Statistical texture analysis of optical coherence tomography images was used to calculate first- and second-order statistical parameters. The analysis of ultrasound images assessed the shape of the tumor according to parameters such as area, perimeter, roundness and other characteristics. Based on the calculated parameters, a machine learning algorithm was developed to differentiate the various clinical forms of basal cell carcinoma. The proposed algorithm for classifying various forms of basal cell carcinoma and benign neoplasms provided a sensitivity of 70.6 ± 17.3%, specificity of 95.9 ± 2.5%, precision of 72.6 ± 14.2%, F"

However, the complex and imbalanced data with high dimensionality pose significant challenges for computational approaches and multi-omics data analysis. This study focuses on predicting skin cancer and analyzing overall survival probability. We employ the Kaplan-Meier estimator and Cox proportional hazards regression model, utilizing high-throughput machine learning (ML)-based ensemble methods. Our proposed ML-based ensemble techniques are applied to a publicly available dataset from the ICGC Data Portal, specifically targeting skin cutaneous melanoma cancers (SKCM). We used eight baseline classifiers, namely, random forest (RF), decision tree (DT), gradient boosting (GB), AdaBoost, Gaussian naïve Bayes (GNB), extra tree (ET), logistic regression (LR), and light gradient boosting machine (Light GBM or LGBM). The study evaluated the performance of the proposed ensemble methods and survival analysis on SKCM. The proposed methods demonstrated promising results, outperforming other algorithms and models in terms of accuracy compared to traditional methods. Specifically, the RF classifier exhibited outstanding precision results. Additionally, four different ensemble methods (stacking, bagging, boosting, and voting) were created and trained to achieve optimal results. The performance was evaluated and interpreted using accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, confusion matrix, and ROC curves, where the voting method achieved a promising accuracy of 99%. On the other hand, the RF classifier achieved an outstanding accuracy of 99%, which exhibits the best performance. We compared our proposed study with the existing state-of-the-art techniques and found significant improvements in several key aspects. Our approach not only demonstrated superior performance in terms of accuracy but also showcased remarkable efficiency. Thus, this research work contributes to diagnosing SKCM with high accuracy."
+8645,skin cancer,38247872,Differentiation States of Phenotypic Transition of Melanoma Cells Are Revealed by 3D Cell Cultures.,"Melanoma is characterized by high metastatic potential favored by the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), leading melanoma cells to exhibit a spectrum of typical EMT markers. This study aimed to analyze the expression of EMT markers in A375 and BLM melanoma cell lines cultured in 2D monolayers and 3D spheroids using morphological and molecular methods. The expression of EMT markers was strongly affected by 3D arrangement and revealed a hybrid phenotype for the two cell lines. Indeed, although E-cadherin was almost undetectable in both A375 and BLM cells, cortical actin was detected in A375 2D monolayers and 3D spheroids and was strongly expressed in BLM 3D spheroids. The mesenchymal marker N-cadherin was significantly up-regulated in A375 3D spheroids while undetectable in BLM cells, but vimentin was similarly expressed in both cell lines at the gene and protein levels. This pattern suggests that A375 cells exhibit a more undifferentiated/mesenchymal phenotype, while BLM cells have more melanocytic/differentiated characteristics. Accordingly, the Zeb1 and 2, Slug, Snail and Twist gene expression analyses showed that they were differentially expressed in 2D monolayers compared to 3D spheroids, supporting this view. Furthermore, A375 cells are characterized by a greater invasive potential, strongly influenced by 3D arrangement, compared to the BLM cell line, as evaluated by SDS-zymography and TIMPs gene expression analysis. Finally, TGF-β1, a master controller of EMT, and lysyl oxidase (LOX), involved in melanoma progression, were strongly up-regulated by 3D arrangement in the metastatic BLM cells alone, likely playing a role in the metastatic phases of melanoma progression. Overall, these findings suggest that A375 and BLM cells possess a hybrid/intermediate phenotype in relation to the expression of EMT markers. The former is characterized by a more mesenchymal/undifferentiated phenotype, while the latter shows a more melanocytic/differentiated phenotype. Our results contribute to the characterization of the role of EMT in melanoma cells and confirm that a 3D cell culture model could provide deeper insight into our understanding of the biology of melanoma."

Nevertheless, conventional dosage forms often lead to low therapeutic efficacy, safety issues, and patient noncompliance. To tackle these issues, novel topical and transdermal platforms involving nanotechnology have been developed. This review focuses on the latest advances regarding the development of nanoemulgels for skin application, encapsulating a wide variety of molecules, including already marketed drugs (miconazole, ketoconazole, fusidic acid, imiquimod, meloxicam), repurposed marketed drugs (atorvastatin, omeprazole, leflunomide), natural-derived compounds (eucalyptol, naringenin, thymoquinone, curcumin, chrysin, brucine, capsaicin), and other synthetic molecules (ebselen, tocotrienols, retinyl palmitate), for wound healing, skin and skin appendage infections, skin inflammatory diseases, skin cancer, neuropathy, or anti-aging purposes. Developed formulations revealed adequate droplet size, PDI, viscosity, spreadability, pH, stability, drug release, and drug permeation and/or retention capacity, having more advantageous characteristics than current marketed formulations. In vitro and/or in vivo studies established the safety and efficacy of the developed formulations, confirming their therapeutic potential, and making them promising platforms for the replacement of current therapies, or as possible adjuvant treatments, which might someday effectively reach the market to help fight highly incident skin or systemic diseases and conditions."
+8648,skin cancer,38247522,Silymarin and Inflammation: Food for Thoughts.,"Inflammation is a vital defense mechanism, creating hostile conditions for pathogens, preventing the spread of tissue infection and repairing damaged tissues in humans and animals. However, when inflammation resolution is delayed or compromised as a result of its misregulation, the process proceeds from the acute phase to chronic inflammation, leading to the development of various chronic illnesses. It is proven that redox balance disturbances and oxidative stress are among major factors inducing NF-κB and leading to over-inflammation. Therefore, the anti-inflammatory properties of various natural antioxidants have been widely tested in various in vitro and in vivo systems. Accumulating evidence indicates that silymarin (SM) and its main constituent silibinin/silybin (SB) have great potential as an anti-inflammation agent. The main anti-inflammatory mechanism of SM/SB action is attributed to the inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB-mediated signaling pathways and the downregulated expression of pro-inflammatory mediators, including TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12, IL-23, CCL4, CXCL10, etc. Of note, in the same model systems, SM/SB was able to upregulate anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, TGF-β, etc.) and lipid mediators involved in the resolution of inflammation. The inflammatory properties of SM/SB were clearly demonstrated in model systems based on immune (macrophages and monocytes) and non-immune (epithelial, skin, bone, connective tissue and cancer) cells. At the same time, the anti-inflammatory action of SM/SB was confirmed in a number of in vivo models, including toxicity models, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, ischemia/reperfusion models, stress-induced injuries, ageing and exercising models, wound healing and many other relevant model systems. It seems likely that the anti-inflammatory activities of SM/SB are key elements on the health-promoting properties of these phytochemicals."

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) enables effective destruction of tumor cells while minimizing harm to normal cells. However, traditional photosensitizers (PSs) suffer from photobleaching, photodegradation and the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect, and it is challenging for light to reach the deep layers of the skin to maximize the efficacy of PSs. Herein, we developed dissolving microneedles (MNs) loaded with PSs of TPE-EPy@CB[7] through supramolecular assembly. The PSs effectively enhanced the type-I reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capacity, with a concentration of 2 μM possessing nearly half of the tumor cell-killing ability under 10 min white light irradiation. The MNs were successfully pierced into the targeted site for precise drug delivery. Additionally, the conical structure of the MNs, as well as the lens-like structure after dissolution, facilitated the transmission of light in the subcutaneous tissue, achieving significant inhibition of tumor growth with a tumor suppression rate of 97.8% and no systemic toxicity or side effects in melanoma mice. The results demonstrated the potent melanoma inhibition and biosafety of this treatment approach, exhibiting a new and promising strategy to conquer malignant melanoma."

Cultured immortalized cells are utilized to compare the autofluorescent signatures of two melanoma cell lines to one fibroblast cell line. Feature analysis identifies the most significant and least correlated features for differentiating the cells. The investigation successfully applies this analysis to pre-processed, noise-removed images and original background-corrupted data. Furthermore, the applicability of distinguishing melanomas and healthy fibroblasts based on their autofluorescent characteristics is validated using the same evaluation technique on patient cells. Additionally, the study tentatively maps the detected features to underlying biological processes.

FBs in lesional PN were shifted toward a cancer-associated FB-like phenotype, with POSTN+WNT5A+ cancer-associated FBs increased in PN and similarly so in squamous cell carcinoma. A multicenter cohort study revealed an increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma and cancer-associated FB-associated malignancies (breast and colorectal) in patients with PN. Systemic fibroproliferative diseases (renal sclerosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) were upregulated in patients with PN. Ligand-receptor analyses demonstrated an FB neuronal axis with FB-derived WNT5A and periostin interactions with neuronal receptors melanoma cell adhesion molecule and ITGAV.

LPCAT1 has been identified as a cancer promoter in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma by us, yet its role in psoriasis remains elusive. In this study, we report that LPCAT1 is highly expressed in psoriatic skin lesions. LPCAT1 promotes keratinocyte hyperproliferation and enhances the secretion of IL-1β, IL-6, CXCL10, CCL20, S100A9, and platelet-activating factor. In psoriasiform keratinocytes, LPCAT1 promotes proliferation and inflammatory mediator production by activating protein kinase B/NF-κB and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 signaling pathways. Furthermore, LPCAT1 inhibition attenuated epidermal hyperplasia and relieved skin inflammation in imiquimod-treated mice. Importantly, we identify the glucose transporter GLUT3, a recently reported promising target to mitigate T helper 17 cell-mediated inflammatory diseases, as a critical downstream effector of LPCAT1. GLUT3 deficiency impaired the proliferation and inflammation of psoriatic keratinocytes. LPCAT1 regulates GLUT3 in keratinocytes through NF-κB/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 signaling, enhancing keratinocyte glycolysis and promoting proproliferative and proinflammatory effects. In addition, suppressing GLUT3 in mice alleviated imiquimod-induced dermatitis. Taken together, our study indicates the critical role of the LPCAT1-GLUT3 axis in psoriasis pathogenesis and proposes LPCAT1 or GLUT3 as a potential therapeutic target for psoriasis."

Unfortunately, the large size of mAbs and the presence of an Fc fraction limit their tumor penetrative capacities and support off-target effects, potentially resulting in unresponsive patients and immune-related adverse events (irAEs) respectively. Single-domain antibodies (sdAbs) are ten times smaller than conventional mAbs and represent an emerging antibody subclass that has been proposed as next generation immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapeutics. They demonstrate favorable characteristics, such as an excellent stability, high antigen-binding affinity and an enhanced tumor penetration. Because sdAbs have a short half-life, methods to prolong their presence in the circulation and at the target site might be necessary in some cases to unfold their full therapeutic potential.

The patients were divided into a training set consisting of two centers and a testing set comprising the other center. Unsupervised clustering was conducted on the training set to form two molecular subtypes for clinical characterization and functional analysis. The testing set was used to validate the survival differences between the two subtypes. The comprehensive analysis identified two subtypes of CRM: immune exhausted C1 cluster and DNA repair C2 cluster. The former subtype exhibited characteristics of metabolic disturbance, immune suppression, and poor prognosis, along with APC mutations.

+8662,skin cancer,38246205,Enhanced gene transfection and induction of apoptosis in melanoma cells by branched poly(β-amino ester)s with uniformly distributed branching units.,"Melanoma, one of the most devastating forms of skin cancer, currently lacks effective clinical treatments. Delivery of functional genes to modulate specific protein expression to induce melanoma cell apoptosis could be a promising therapeutic approach. However, transfecting melanoma cells using non-viral methods, particularly with cationic polymers, presents significant challenges. In this study, we synthesized three branched poly(β-amino ester)s (HPAEs) with evenly distributed branching units but varying space lengths through a two-step ""oligomer combination"" strategy. The unique topological structure enables HPAEs to condense DNA to form nano-sized polyplexes with favorable physiochemical properties. Notably, HPAEs, especially HPAE-2 with intermediate branching unit space length, demonstrated significantly higher gene transfection efficiency than the leading commercial gene transfection reagent, jetPRIME, in human melanoma cells. Furthermore, HPAE-2 efficiently delivered the Bax-encoding plasmid into melanoma cells, leading to a pronounced pro-apoptotic effect without causing noticeable cytotoxicity. This study establishes a potent non-viral platform for gene transfection of melanoma cells by harnessing the distribution of branching units, paving the way for potential clinical applications of gene therapy in melanoma treatment."

Loss of Bmal1 in YUMM2.1 or B16-F10 melanoma cells eliminates clock function and diminishes hypoxic gene expression and tumorigenesis, which could be rescued by ectopic expression of HIF1α in YUMM2.1 cells. By contrast, over-expressed wild-type or a transcriptionally inactive mutant Bmal1 non-canonically sequester myosin heavy chain 9 (Myh9) to increase MRTF-SRF activity and AP-1 transcriptional signature, and shift YUMM2.1 cells from a Sox10"
+8666,skin cancer,38245478,Prognostic and predictive biomarkers in melanoma.,"Biomarkers help to inform the clinical management of patients with melanoma. For patients with clinically localised primary melanoma, biomarkers can help to predict post-surgical outcome (including via the use of risk prediction tools), better select patients for sentinel lymph node biopsy, and tailor catch-all follow-up protocols to the individual. Systemic drug treatments, including immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapies and BRAF-targeted therapies, have radically improved the prognosis of metastatic (stage III and IV) cutaneous melanoma patients, and also shown benefit in the earlier setting of stage IIB/C primary melanoma. Unfortunately, a response is far from guaranteed. Here, we review clinically relevant, established, and emerging, prognostic, and predictive pathological biomarkers that refine clinical decision-making in primary and metastatic melanoma patients. Gene expression profile assays and nomograms are emerging tools for prognostication and sentinel lymph node risk prediction in primary melanoma patients. Biomarkers incorporated into clinical practice guidelines include BRAF V600 mutations for the use of targeted therapies in metastatic cutaneous melanoma, and the HLA-A∗02:01 allele for the use of a bispecific fusion protein in metastatic uveal melanoma. Several predictive biomarkers have been proposed for ICI therapies but have not been incorporated into Australian clinical practice guidelines. Further research, validation, and assessment of clinical utility is required before more prognostic and predictive biomarkers are fluidly integrated into routine care."

However, the mechanisms contribute to such radioresistance of melanoma is unclear. In this study, SIRT7 is identified to be higher-expressed in melanoma and positively correlated with melanoma staging. Under ionizing radiation (IR)-treatment condition, loss of SIRT7 compromised the survivability of melanoma cells showed by decreased proliferation, colony formation, migration, but enhancing apoptosis. Transcriptomic sequencing analysis indicated the apoptosis induced after SIRT7 knockdown is tightly related with the induction of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) by IR treatment. Loss of SIRT7 enhanced EIF2α acetylation and activated its phosphorylation to induce the expression of ER stress proteins including DDIT3, XBP1 and GRP78, among which DDIT3 is responsible for apoptosis induction. SIRT7 depletion enriched ER stress-activated transcription factor ATF4 at the promoter region of DDIT3 gene to transactivate its expression and induces apoptotic cascade in both mock- and IR-treatment conditions. Consistently, SIRT7 is highly upregulated in radioresistant melanoma cell strain and still modulates the ER-stress responsive genes to maintain the homeostasis of melanoma. Collectively, SIRT7 negatively regulates ER stress-activated apoptosis to enhance the survivability of melanoma cells in both non-IR- and IR-treatment conditions. Our study highlights the role of SIRT7 in repressing ER stress and the following apoptosis to sustain tumor development and mediate radioresistance in melanoma, which may suggest a novel intervention target for melanoma therapy."

Our previous work proposed an optimized heterologous immunization strategy using cancer gene vaccines co-targeting MUC1 and survivin. Administration of a DNA vaccine three times within a week followed by a single recombinant MVA (rMVA) boost was able to efficiently induce anti-tumor immunity and inhibit tumor growth in tumor-bearing mouse models However, the complex immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment always limits infiltration by vaccine-induced T cells. Modifying the immunosuppressive microenvironment of tumors would be a breakthrough in enhancing the therapeutic effects of a cancer vaccine. Recent studies have reported that metformin, a type 2 diabetes drug, may ameliorate the tumor microenvironment, thereby enhancing anti-tumor immunity. Here, we tested whether the combinational therapeutic strategy of cancer vaccines administered with a heterologous prime-boost strategy with metformin enhanced anti-tumor effects in a melanoma mouse model. The results showed that metformin promoted the transition of M2-tumor-associated macrophages (M2-TAM) to M1-TAM, induced more tumor-infiltrating proliferative CD4 and CD8 T cells, and decreased exhausted T cells. This combinational treatment induced anti-tumor immunity from cancer vaccines, ameliorating the tumor microenvironment, showing improved tumor inhibition, and prolonging survival in tumor-bearing mice compared with either a cancer vaccine or metformin alone."

In humans, CM commonly affects children and is usually indolent with possible spontaneous resolution. Systemic mastocytosis (SM) with bone marrow involvement typically affects adults, can have a poor outcome, and often includes skin lesions. 'Mastocytosis in the skin' (MIS) is the preferred term of skin lesions, if bone marrow evaluations are not available, which is often the cases in dogs. In human SM and CM, KIT mutations are often detected. The veterinary literature suggests clinical resemblances between human and canine MIS, but data is limited, and KIT mutations are rarely assessed. This retrospective study describes clinicopathological findings, treatment and outcome of 11 dogs with suspected MIS. Dogs with multiple mast cell tumours were excluded. Histopathology reports (n = 5) or slides (n = 6) were reviewed. KIT mutation analysis including exons 8, 9, 11, 14 and 17 were analysed in eight dogs. Median age at diagnosis was 4 years (range, 1-12). Typical clinical signs included multifocal to generalised nodules and papules. Histologically, skin lesions were characterised by dermal infiltration of well-differentiated mast cells. KIT mutations were detected in 3/8 dogs (exon 9: n = 2; exon 11: n = 1). One dog had mastocytaemia suggesting possible SM. Glucocorticoids were mostly successful with lesion improvement in all treated dogs (n = 8). This cohort highlights resemblances between human and canine MIS. Further studies are required to confirm these findings and establish diagnostic criteria for CM and MIS associated with SM in dogs."

Recent advances in molecular testing have allowed us to better characterize microbiome alterations in skin cancer. However, literature specific to skin microbiome and skin cancer remain heterogenous and scattered. A systematic review was performed to identify the existing literature and its usefulness in providing microbiome-based biomarkers. A search of the databases (PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, GoogleScholar) was conducted from June to July 2022 in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. A total of 1,543 articles were identified, of which 16 were selected for inclusion in the review (11 articles on cancer of the keratinocytes and 5 articles on melanoma). Increased Staphylococcus (S.) aureus prevalence with decline in commensal organisms is seen in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and actinic keratosis (AK), compared to healthy skin. While the microbiome of melanoma appears to be distinct from healthy skin, limited data is available to draw meaningful conclusions.

This review summarizes the best-available evidence to provide a clinical update for dermatologists on the approved and emerging indications of photodynamic therapy. The body of evidence suggests that photodynamic therapy is superior or noninferior to other available treatment modalities for actinic keratoses, low-risk basal cell carcinomas, Bowen's disease, skin field cancerization, chemoprevention of keratinocyte carcinomas in organ transplant recipients, photoaging, acne vulgaris, and cutaneous infections including verrucae, onychomycosis, and cutaneous leishmaniasis. There is emerging evidence that photodynamic therapy plays a role in the management of actinic cheilitis, early-stage mycosis fungoides, extramammary Paget disease, lichen sclerosis, and folliculitis decalvans but there are no comparative studies with other active treatment modalities. Common barriers to topical photodynamic therapy include procedural pain, costs, and the time required for treatment delivery. There is significant heterogeneity in the photodynamic therapy protocols reported in the literature, including different photosensitizers, light sources, number of treatments, time between treatments, and use of procedural analgesia. Topical photodynamic therapy should be considered in the management of a spectrum of inflammatory, neoplastic, and infectious dermatoses. However, more comparative research is required to determine its role in the treatment algorithm for these dermatologic conditions and more methodological research is required to optimize photodynamic therapy protocols to improve the tolerability of the procedure for patients."

+8684,skin cancer,38243303,CNS erythroblastic sarcoma: a potential emerging pediatric tumor type characterized by NFIA::RUNX1T1/3 fusions.,"Erythroblastic sarcoma (ES) (previously called chloroma or granulocytic sarcoma) are rare hematological neoplams characterized by the proliferation of myeloid blasts at extramedullary sites, and primarily involve the skin and soft tissue of middle-aged adults. ES may be concomitant with or secondary to myeloid neoplasms (mostly acute myeloid leukemia (AML)) or in isolated cases (de novo) without infiltration of the bone marrow by blasts. ES share cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities with AML, including RUNX1T1 fusions. Some of these alterations seem to be correlated with particular sites of involvement. Herein, we report an isolated erythroblastic sarcoma with NFIA::RUNX1T1 located in the central nervous system (CNS) of a 3-year-old boy. Recently, two pediatric cases of CNS MS with complete molecular characterization have been documented. Like the current case, they concerned infants (2 and 3 years-old) presenting a brain tumor (pineal involvement) with leptomeningeal dissemination. Both cases also harbored a NFIA::RUNX1T3 fusion. ES constitutes a diagnostic challenge for neuropathologists because it does not express differentiation markers such as CD45, and may express CD99 which could be confused with CNS Ewing sarcoma. CD43 is the earliest pan-hematopoietic marker and CD45 is not expressed by erythroid lineage cells. E-cadherin (also a marker of erythroid precursors) and CD117 (expressed on the surface of erythroid lineage cells) constitute other immunhistochemical hallmarks of ES. The prognosis of patients with ES is similar to that of other patients with AML but de novo forms seem to have a poorer prognosis, like the current case. To conclude, pediatric ES with NFIA::RUNX1T1/3 fusions seem to have a tropism for the CNS and thus constitute a potential pitfall for neuropathologists. Due to the absence of circulating blasts and a DNA-methylation signature, the diagnosis must currently be made by highlighting the translocation and expression of erythroid markers."

The predominant histological subtypes of BHD-related renal tumors include hybrid oncocytoma-chromophobe tumors, oncocytomas, and chromophobe renal cell carcinomas, all exhibiting eosinophilic/oncocytic features. Immunohistochemistry staining for KIT (CD117) and CK7 exhibits variability in these tumor types. Germline mutations in FLCN have been consistently identified. Generally, patients with BHD demonstrate a favorable prognosis with minimal metastatic potential. Nonetheless, the comprehensive elucidation of pathological characteristics of BHD remains incomplete, particularly in BHD-associated renal tumors that deviate from the previously identified subtypes, thereby complicating the differential diagnosis. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of BHD encompassing epidemiology, clinical manifestations, genetic and molecular pathogenesis, as well as clinical diagnostic modalities.

The aim of this study was to describe the clinical and histopathologic features of subungual melanoma in a Mexican population. We identified 303 patients with melanoma, and of these, 19% (57 patients with a median age of 71 years) had subungual melanoma. The main sites affected were the lower limbs (52.6%) and the toe (75.4%). The most common histologic subtype was acral lentiginous melanoma (50.9%). Median Breslow thickness was 3 mm, and stage IA tumors were the most common (in 28.1% of patients). Recurrence and metastasis occurred in 19.3% and 8.8% of patients, respectively.

Currently, direct comparisons between different tumour types or reports were impossible due to varying evaluation protocols. Additionally, COX-2 expression in relatively uncommon tumours were yet to be evaluated. Here, we analysed COX-2 expression across various tumour types in dogs in a consistent protocol, aiming to revisit accumulated evidence in the field and report novel candidate tumours for anti-COX therapy. COX-2 expression in 32 histological types of tumours, which consisted of 347 samples in total, was investigated using immunohistochemistry followed by the Belshaw's method scoring (range: 0-12). More than the half of the samples expressed COX-2 in mast cell tumours, transitional cell carcinoma in the urinary tract, squamous cell carcinoma, liposarcoma, and melanoma, with COX-2 median scores ranging from 1-8. On the other hand, <20% tissues expressed COX-2 in the half of tumour types investigated. Overall COX-2 positive rate was 27%. In conclusion, the results confirmed COX-2 expression in the well-known COX-2-expresing tumour types and suggested novel candidate tumours for anti-COX-2 therapy. At the same time, overall COX-2 expression was low, and inter- and intra-histology heterogeneity was apparent. This study will provide a foundation reference for future research in canine tumours."

The vasculature is a key component of the BrM tumor microenvironment with critical roles in regulating metastatic seeding and progression. However, the heterogeneity of the major BrM vascular components, namely endothelial and mural cells, is still poorly understood. We perform single-cell and bulk RNA-sequencing of sorted vascular cell types and detect multiple subtypes enriched specifically in BrM compared to non-tumor brain, including previously unrecognized immune regulatory subtypes. We integrate the human data with mouse models, creating a platform to interrogate vascular targets for the treatment of BrM. We find that the CD276 immune checkpoint molecule is significantly upregulated in the BrM vasculature, and anti-CD276 blocking antibodies prolonged survival in preclinical trials. This study provides important insights into the complex interactions between the vasculature, immune cells, and cancer cells, with translational relevance for designing therapeutic interventions."

Treatment resistance remains a persistent challenge, however, and is partly attributable to intratumoural heterogeneity. Melanoma cells can transition through a series of phenotypic and transcriptional cell states that vary in invasiveness and treatment responsiveness. The diverse stromal and immune contexture of the tumour microenvironment also contributes to intratumoural heterogeneity and disparities in treatment response in melanoma patients. Recent advances in single-cell sequencing technologies have enabled a more detailed understanding of melanoma heterogeneity and the underlying transcriptional programs that regulate melanoma cell diversity and behaviour. In this review, we examine the concept of intratumoural heterogeneity and the challenges it poses to achieving long-lasting treatment responses. We focus on the significance of next generation single-cell sequencing in advancing our understanding of melanoma diversity and the unique insights gained from single-cell studies."

Core structures of BRAF V600E inhibitors are based on pyrimidine-sulfonamide scaffolds. Exploring the QSAR of these structures can improve our understanding of BRAF V600E inhibitor drug design. This study utilized machine learning-based QSAR to elucidate chemical substructures of pyrimidine-sulfonamide analogues that correlated to the BRAF V600E inhibitory activity. The findings indicate that the support vector regression (SVR) combined with 15 fingerprints achieved the highest statistical performances in terms of goodness-of-fit, robustness, and predictability. Nine key fingerprints from pyrimidine-sulfonamide analogues were identified to exert the BRAF V600E inhibitory activity.

Therefore, in the absence of sufficient clinical experience, this disease may be challenging to be suspected even with a physical examination. Herein, clinical and demographic features of intradermal nevus in the EAC were investigated. Patients with an intradermal nevus on histopathological examination (n = 15; 2 men and 13 women; P = .005) were included from a pool of patients who underwent surgical resection for EAC tumors between November 2011 and March 2022. Data were retrospectively collected on their sex, appearance of the lesions, surgical method, and outcomes. Nine patients had a dome shape and 6 patients had a papillomatous shape. Ten patients had dark colors and 5 patients had pale colors. All pale colors appeared only in the dome-shaped nevus, and only dark colored papillomatous nevi were observed. A significant difference was noted in terms of the frequency of occurrence by colors (dark or pale) according to shape (dome or papillomatous) (P = .044). No patient showed recurrence or EAC stenosis after circumferential excision. In women, a dome-shaped or papillomatous mass with dark color in the EAC may likely be predicted as the nevus.

+8704,skin cancer,38241433,"High UV damage and low repair, but not cytosine deamination, stimulate mutation hotspots at ETS binding sites in melanoma.","Noncoding mutation hotspots have been identified in melanoma and many of them occur at the binding sites of E26 transformation-specific (ETS) proteins; however, their formation mechanism and functional impacts are not fully understood. Here, we used UV (Ultraviolet) damage sequencing data and analyzed cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) formation, DNA repair, and CPD deamination in human cells at single-nucleotide resolution. Our data show prominent CPD hotspots immediately after UV irradiation at ETS binding sites, particularly at sites with a conserved TTCCGG motif, which correlate with mutation hotspots identified in cutaneous melanoma. Additionally, CPDs are repaired slower at ETS binding sites than in flanking DNA. Cytosine deamination in CPDs to uracil is suggested as an important step for UV mutagenesis. However, we found that CPD deamination is significantly suppressed at ETS binding sites, particularly for the CPD hotspot on the 5' side of the ETS motif, arguing against a role for CPD deamination in promoting ETS-associated UV mutations. Finally, we analyzed a subset of frequently mutated promoters, including the ribosomal protein genes "

In this work, we developed a polymer-based robotic fiber with a thermal actuation mechanism by local heating along the sides of a single fiber. The fiber robot was fabricated by highly scalable fiber drawing technology using common low-cost materials. This low-profile (below 2 millimeters in diameter) robotic fiber exhibits remarkable motion precision (below 50 micrometers) and repeatability. We developed control algorithms coupling the robot with endoscopic instruments, demonstrating high-resolution in situ molecular and morphological tissue mapping. We assess its practicality and safety during in vivo laparoscopic surgery on a porcine model. High-precision motion of the fiber robot delivered endoscopically facilitates the effective use of cellular-level intraoperative tissue identification and ablation technologies, potentially enabling precise removal of cancer in challenging surgical sites."

Inhibitors targeting the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint have improved MCC patient outcomes by boosting antitumor T cell immunity. Here, we identify PD-1 as a growth-promoting receptor intrinsic to MCC cells. In human MCC lines and clinical tumors, RT-PCR-based sequencing, immunoblotting, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence analyses demonstrated PD-1 gene and protein expression by MCC cells. MCC-PD-1 ligation enhanced, and its inhibition or silencing suppressed, in vitro proliferation and in vivo tumor xenograft growth. Consistently, MCC-PD-1 binding to PD-L1 or PD-L2 induced, while antibody-mediated PD-1 blockade inhibited, protumorigenic mTOR signaling, mitochondrial (mt) respiration, and ROS generation. Last, pharmacologic inhibition of mTOR or mtROS reversed MCC-PD-1:PD-L1-dependent proliferation and synergized with PD-1 checkpoint blockade in suppressing tumorigenesis. Our results identify an MCC-PD-1-mTOR-mtROS axis as a tumor growth-accelerating mechanism, the blockade of which might contribute to clinical response in patients with MCC."

The use of diagnostic Deep Learning (DL)-based support systems for automated examination of tissue morphology and cellular composition has been well studied in standard H&E-stained tissue slides. In contrast, there are few studies that analyze IHC slides using DL. Therefore, we investigated the separate and joint performance of ResNets trained on MelanA and corresponding H&E-stained slides. The MelanA classifier achieved an area under receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) of 0.82 and 0.74 on out of distribution (OOD)-datasets, similar to the H&E-based benchmark classification of 0.81 and 0.75, respectively. A combined classifier using MelanA and H&E achieved AUROCs of 0.85 and 0.81 on the OOD datasets. DL MelanA-based assistance systems show the same performance as the benchmark H&E classification and may be improved by multi stain classification to assist pathologists in their clinical routine."
+8709,skin cancer,38240860,Microrheological comparison of melanoma cells by atomic force microscopy.,"Melanoma is one of the most severe cancers due to its great potential to form metastasis. Recent studies showed the importance of mechanical property assessment in metastasis formation which depends on the cytoskeleton dynamics and cell migration. Although cells are considered purely elastic, they are viscoelastic entities. Microrheology atomic force microscopy (AFM) enables the assessment of elasticity and viscous properties, which are relevant to cell behavior regulation. The current work compares the mechanical properties of human neonatal primary melanocytes (HNPMs) with two melanoma cell lines (WM793B and 1205LU cells), using microrheology AFM. Immunocytochemistry of F-actin filaments and phosphorylated focal adhesion kinase (p-FAK) and cell migration assays were performed to understand the differences found in microrheology AFM regarding the tumor cell lines tested. AFM revealed that HNPMs and tumor cell lines had distinct mechanical properties. HNPMs were softer, less viscous, presenting a higher power-law than melanoma cells. Immunostaining showed that metastatic 1205LU cells expressed more p-FAK than WM793B cells. Melanoma cell migration assays showed that WM73B did not close the gap, in contrast to 1205LU cells, which closed the gap at the end of 23 h. These data seem to corroborate the high migratory behavior of 1205LU cells. Microrheology AFM applied to HNPMs and melanoma cells allowed the quantification of elasticity, viscous properties, glassy phase, and power-law properties, which have an impact in cell migration and metastasis formation. AFM study is important since it can be used as a biomarker of the different stages of the disease in melanoma."

A comprehensive systematic review of 3 medical databases was conducted by 2 independent reviewers. We reviewed studies that explored the expression and role of CRH peptides in various aspects of cancer biology, in the context of breast, endometrial, ovarian, vulvar, and cervical cancer. Our findings reveal that CRH family peptides and their receptors, CRHR1 and CRHR2, are expressed in diverse gynaecological tissues, including cancer cells. Notably, we observed differential expression patterns among different gynaecological cancer types and stages, indicating potential associations with tumour aggressiveness and patient prognosis. Furthermore, CRH peptides were found to exert significant influences on critical cellular processes, such as cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and immune response, in gynaecological cancers. These findings highlight the multifaceted roles of CRH family peptides in gynaecological malignancies and emphasize the need for further research in this field. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms underlying the involvement of CRH family peptides in tumourigenesis may open new avenues for targeted therapeutic strategies in gynaecological malignancies."

However, it has not been fully clarified whether nuclear protein expression of the tumor suppressor gene BAP1 (nBAP1) by immunohistochemistry alone is as powerful a predictor of overall survival (OS) and/or disease-specific survival (DSS) as chromosome analysis. The protein expression of nBAP1 was evaluated in a retrospective cohort study of 308 consecutive patients treated by primary enucleation between January 1974 and December 2022. We correlated clinical, pathologic, and cytogenetic characteristics to identify the best prognostic indicators for OS and DSS. Loss of nBAP1 was detected in 144/308 (47%) of patients. Loss of nBAP1 expression was significantly associated with poor survival. In patients with disomy chromosome 3, nBAP1 negative is significantly associated with poorer OS but not DSS. We observed that older age (>63 years), presence of metastasis, and nBAP1 negative remained independent prognostic factors in multivariate analysis. nBAP1 protein expression proved to be a more reliable prognostic indicator for OS than the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging, M3 status, or The Cancer Genome Atlas classification in this cohort. This study provides support for accurate prognostication of UM patients in routine histology laboratories by immunohistochemistry for nBAP1 alone."

High expression of the proto-oncogene Bcl-3 promotes the proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells originating from tissues such as the colon, prostate, breast, and skin. The development of novel drugs targeting Bcl-3 alone or in combination with other therapies can cure these patients or prolong their survival. As a proof of concept, in the present study, we focused on metastatic melanoma as a model system. High-throughput screening and in vitro experiments identified BCL3ANT as a lead molecule that could interfere with Bcl-3-mediated cyclin D1 expression and cell proliferation and migration in melanoma. In experimental animal models of melanoma, it was demonstrated that the use of a Bcl-3 inhibitor can influence the survival of melanoma cells. Since there are no other inhibitors against Bcl-3 in the clinical pipeline for cancer treatment, this presents a unique opportunity to develop a highly specific drug against malignant melanoma to meet an urgent clinical need."

This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel home-use handheld multi-energy-based device for skin rejuvenation that simultaneously emits low level light, low-dose radiofrequency, low-energy microcurrent, and low-intensity ultrasonic wave. This prospective, randomized, split-face clinical trial enrolled 36 healthy Korean women. After 8 weeks of device use, parameters associated with skin aging were assessed. Additionally, a preliminary ex vivo study and skin biopsy following device use were performed to confirm safety and efficiency of the device. Parameters associated with skin aging including skin hydration, elasticity, roughness, skin pore size, and eye wrinkle volume showed significant improvements after 8 weeks of the device use, relative to baseline measurements and the control side. No adverse effects were observed during the follow-up period. Results of ex vivo and in vivo skin tissue studies correlated with clinical findings, which showed an increase in the expression of type 1 collagen and a decrease in the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1, which is related to the skin aging phenotype.

Risk factors for CTCL are still poorly understood though recent studies suggest chemical exposures may play a role in its development. To further characterize patient-centered risk factors for CTCL, especially compared with matched controls, we performed one of the largest prospective cohort survey studies to date to examine patient-reported exposures and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in association with concurrent clinical disease characteristics. Patient demographics, lifestyle factors, and chemical exposures were collected via clinical data and surveys. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Chi-square tests and t tests were utilized to compare patient-reported exposures and HRQoL in patients with CTCL versus matched healthy controls (HC). Statistically significant differences were identified between patients and HC in terms of race (non-white race 22.4% in CTCL patients vs. 18.8% in HC, P = 0.01), and education level (high school or less 41.6% in CTCL patients vs. 14.3% in HC, P = 0.001), but not with Fitzpatrick skin type (P = 0.11) or smoking status (P = 0.28).

THE POTENTIAL ROLE OF NITROSAMINE/NDSRIS CONTAMINATION IN POLYMEDICATION AS SUBSTANTIAL SKIN CANCER TRIGGERING FACTOR.","The idea of drug-induced/exogenic Nitrosogenesis is driven by the possibility of prolonged exposure of the human body to the influence of nitrosamines within the drug intake - substances or contaminants that have been proven to be carcinogenic or mutagenic one.Until recently, there was a complete lack of data in the scientific literature on the relationship between cancer, polymedication and polycontamination with nitrosamines. In the last decade, melanoma has been described repeatedly in the medical literature as a possible side-effect within the intake of possibly with nitrosamines contaminated medications such as: Valsartan, Hydrochlorothiazide, Amlodipine, Nebivolol, Bisoprolol and Perindopril. However, the contribution of the currently presented new data (5 new patients) is also due to the establishment of the possible pathogenetic role (with respect to melanoma) of several completely new drugs, previously unknown to the scientific community (potentially/actually contaminated with carcinogens/nitrosamines), such as: Ranitidine, Rosuvastatin, Lercanidipine, Rilmenidine, Trandolapril, Moxonidine and Verapamil.The leading and connecting link in shared new and old drug combinations of heterogeneous drug classes (polymedication) and melanoma development and progression remains again one and the same: the possible availability of nitroso component in the frame of exogenous nitrosogenesis according to the official FDA lists of 2023.The number of drugs shared as contaminated with nitrosamines after whose intake melanomas occur is increasing. Nitrosogenesis remains a new beginning, a new understanding and new interpretation of the carcinogenesis concerning melanoma, but probably also of cancer in general. Its further elucidation looks more than promising and is yet to come. More than worrying at the moment remains the fact that the scientific community has to clarify if: 1) peak concentrations of nitrosamines or NDSRIs within the framework of monomedication or 2) normal concentrations within the polymedication (catalogued in the list of FDA/ 2023 as potentially contaminated with hypothetical carcinogens), could hide relatively short-term risk of the development of real tumors: cutaneous melanomas and/or their precursor lesions. The validation of the concept of Nitrosogenesis and its relationship to Сarcinogenesis, is achieved in practice on the basis of the following facts: that it is the occurrence of the same monomorphic clinical pattern (melanoma/dysplastic nevi), developing after the intake of drugs with different mechanism of action, contaminated with nitrosamines/NDSRIs. The unifying link between the intake of certain drugs and the development of certain tumours remains the presence of nitrosamines.

Morphologically, MAP3K8 Spitz neoplasms frequently showed nodular silhouette, large cell size, epithelioid morphology, and severe nuclear atypia resulting in more frequent diagnosis as Spitz melanoma. Most MAP3K8 Spitz neoplasms have excellent prognoses, apart from rare cases harboring additional genomic abnormalities associated with tumor progression."

Here, we performed genome-scale CRISPR screens along with computational analyses of cancer dependency and gene expression datasets to identify the inositol-metabolizing phosphatase INPP5A as a selective dependency in GNAQ/11-mutant UM cells in vitro and in vivo. Mutant cells intrinsically produce high levels of the second messenger inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate (IP3) that accumulate upon suppression of INPP5A, resulting in hyperactivation of IP3-receptor signaling, increased cytosolic calcium and p53-dependent apoptosis. Finally, we show that GNAQ/11-mutant UM cells and patients' tumors exhibit elevated levels of IP4, a biomarker of enhanced IP3 production; these high levels are abolished by GNAQ/11 inhibition and correlate with sensitivity to INPP5A depletion. Our findings uncover INPP5A as a synthetic lethal vulnerability and a potential therapeutic target for GNAQ/11-mutant-driven cancers."

Accurate clinical, histologic, and imaging staging with fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) is most important to guide patient management. Whilst surgical excision with clear margins is the gold-standard treatment for primary cutaneous melanoma, targeted therapies have generated remarkable and rapid clinical responses in melanoma, for which FDG PET also plays an important role in assessment of treatment response and post-therapy surveillance. Non-FDG PET tracers, advanced PET technology, and PET radiomics may potentially change the landscape of the utilization of PET in the imaging of patients with cutaneous malignancies."
+8751,skin cancer,38233229,Racial and skin color mediated disparities in pulse oximetry in infants and young children.,"Race-based and skin pigmentation-related inaccuracies in pulse oximetry have recently been highlighted in several large electronic health record-based retrospective cohort studies across diverse patient populations and healthcare settings. Overestimation of oxygen saturation by pulse oximeters, particularly in hypoxic states, is disparately higher in Black compared to other racial groups. Compared to adult literature, pediatric studies are relatively few and mostly reliant on birth certificates or maternal race-based classification of comparison groups. Neonates, infants, and young children are particularly susceptible to the adverse life-long consequences of hypoxia and hyperoxia. Successful neonatal resuscitation, precise monitoring of preterm and term neonates with predominantly lung pathology, screening for congenital heart defects, and critical decisions on home oxygen, ventilator support and medication therapies, are only a few examples of situations that are highly reliant on the accuracy of pulse oximetry. Undetected hypoxia, especially if systematically different in certain racial groups may delay appropriate therapies and may further perpetuate health care disparities. The role of biological factors that may differ between racial groups, particularly skin pigmentation that may contribute to biased pulse oximeter readings needs further evaluation. Developmental and maturational changes in skin physiology and pigmentation, and its interaction with the operating principles of pulse oximetry need further study. Importantly, clinicians should recognize the limitations of pulse oximetry and use additional objective measures of oxygenation (like co-oximetry measured arterial oxygen saturation) where hypoxia is a concern."

+8755,skin cancer,38232662,"3D bioprinting of Salvianolic acid B-sodium alginate-gelatin skin scaffolds promotes diabetic wound repair via antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and proangiogenic effects.","In patients with diabetic wounds, wound healing is impaired due to the presence of persistent oxidative stress, an altered inflammatory response, and impaired angiogenesis and epithelization. Salvianolic acid B (SAB), which is derived from the Chinese medicinal plant Salvia miltiorrhiza, has been found to exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and proangiogenic effects. Previous studies have used 3D bioprinting technology incorporating sodium alginate (SA) and gelatin (Gel) as basic biomaterials to successfully produce artificial skin. In the current study, 3D bioprinting technology was used to incorporate SAB into SA-Gel to form a novel SAB-SA-Gel composite porous scaffold. The morphological characteristics, physicochemical characteristics, biocompatibility, and SAB release profile of the SAB-SA-Gel scaffolds were evaluated in vitro. In addition, the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and proangiogenic abilities of the SAB-SA-Gel scaffolds were evaluated in cells and in a rat model. Analysis demonstrated that 1.0 wt% (the percentage of SAB in the total weight of the solution containing SA and Gel) SAB-SA-Gel scaffolds had strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and proangiogenic properties both in cells and in the rat model. The 1.0% SAB-SA-Gel scaffold reduced the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, and interluekin-1β and increased the expression of transforming growth factor-β. In addition, this scaffold removed excessive reactive oxygen species by increasing the expression of superoxide dismutase, thereby protecting fibroblasts from injury. The scaffold increased the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1, accelerated granulation tissue regeneration and collagen deposition, and promoted wound healing. These findings suggest that this innovative scaffold may have promise as a simple and efficient approach to managing diabetic wound repair."
+8756,skin cancer,38232644,Radix Tetrastigma Hemsleyani Flavone represses cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma via Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 pathway inactivation.,"Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is the second most common malignant skin tumor and significantly affects patients' quality of life and health. The Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK/STAT3) pathway activation is involved in CSCC development. Radix Tetrastigma hemsleyani flavone (RTHF) is an active Radix Tetrastigma extract (RTE), which was recently reported to have promising inhibitory effects on CSCC. However, the underlying functional mechanisms of this inhibition remain unknown. In the present study, A431 cells or SCL-1 cells were incubated with 1, 5, and 10 mg/mL RTHF for 48 h, respectively. A significantly increased wound closure rate, decreased number of migrated and invaded cells, decreased colony number, and elevated apoptotic rate were observed after treatment with 1, 5, and 10 mg/mL RTHF. Furthermore, after incubation with RTHF, p-JAK1/JAK1, p-JAK2/JAK2, and p-STAT3/STAT3 levels were drastically reduced. An A431 xenograft model was constructed, followed by oral administration of 15, 30, or 60 mg/kg RTHF for 21 consecutive days. A significantly lower increase in tumor volume and reduced tumor weight were observed in all RTHF-treated groups. In addition, JAK/STAT3 signaling was drastically repressed in tumor tissues. Collectively, RTHF inhibited CSCC progression, which may be associated with JAK/STAT3 pathway inactivation."
+8757,skin cancer,28402615,Triglyceride Lowering Drugs,"The two major goals of the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia are the prevention of cardiovascular disease and pancreatitis. Here we discuss the drugs used for the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia: (niacin, fibrates, omega-3-fatty acids, volanesorsen (available in Europe) and lipoprotein lipase gene therapy (alipogene tiparvovec- no longer available). Niacin decreases total cholesterol, TGs (20-50% decrease), LDL-C, and Lp(a). Additionally, niacin decreases small dense LDL resulting in a shift to large, buoyant LDL particles. Moreover, niacin increases HDL-C. Skin flushing, insulin resistance, and other side effects have limited the use of niacin. The enthusiasm for niacin has greatly decreased with the failure of AIM-HIGH and HPS-2 Thrive to decrease cardiovascular events when niacin was added to statin therapy. The omega-3-fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5n-3) (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6n-3) (DHA) lower TGs by 10-50% but do not affect total cholesterol, HDL-C, or Lp(a). LDL-C may increase with EPA + DHA when the TG levels are markedly elevated (>500mg/dL). EPA alone does not increase LDL-C. Omega-3-fatty acids have few side effects, drug interactions, or contraindications. Numerous studies of low dose omega-3-fatty acids on cardiovascular outcomes have failed to demonstrate a benefit. However, in the JELIS trial and REDUCE-IT trial high doses of EPA alone reduced cardiovascular events while in the STRENGTH trial high dose EPA+DHA did not reduce cardiovascular events. Fibrates reduce TG levels by 25-50% and increase HDL-C by 5-20%. The effect on LDL-C is variable. If the TG levels are very high (>500mg/dL), fibrate therapy may result in an increase in LDL-C, whereas if TGs are not markedly elevated fibrates decrease LDL-C by 10-30%. Fibrates also reduce apolipoprotein B, LDL particle number, and non-HDL-C and there may be a shift from small dense LDL towards large LDL particles. Fibrates do not have any major effects on Lp(a). Monotherapy with fibrates appears to reduce cardiovascular events in patients with high TG and low HDL-C levels. Whether the addition of fibrates to statin therapy will reduce cardiovascular disease is uncertain. In patients with diabetes fibrates appear to slow the progression of microvascular disease. Volanesorsen is an antisense oligonucleotide that inhibits the production of apolipoprotein C-III. In patients with the familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) volanesorsen decreases TG by 77% (mean decrease of 1712 mg/dL) with 77% of the patients having TG levels less than 750 mg/dL. In addition, volanesorsen treatment resulted in decreases in non–HDL-C by 46%, and VLDL-C by 58% and increases in HDL-C by 46%, LDL-C by 136%, (LDL-C increased from 28 to 61 mg/dL), and total apolipoprotein B by 20%. Studies have suggested that volanesorsen may reduce episodes of pancreatitis. Patients with FCS have also reported that volanesorsen improved symptoms and reduced interference of FCS with work/school responsibilities. Of concern has been decreases in platelet levels with 47% of patients treated with volanesorsen developing platelet counts below100 x 109/L. Thus, a number of drugs are available for the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia and may be employed when lifestyle changes are not sufficient. For complete coverage of all related areas of Endocrinology, please visit our on-line FREE web-text, WWW.ENDOTEXT.ORG."

The efficacy of RNA relies heavily on the presence of a secure and effective delivery system. Herein, we found that RNA could be hydrophobized by cationic lipid and ionizable lipid and conveniently coassemble with amphiphilic polymer to achieve micelle-like nanoparticles (MNP). The results of the study indicate that MNP exhibits a high level of efficiency in delivering RNA. Besides, the MNP encapsulating siRNA that targets CD47 and PD-L1 remarkably blocked these immune checkpoints in a melanoma tumor model and elicited a robust immune response. Moreover, the MNP encapsulating the mRNA of OVA achieved antigen translation and presentation, leading to an effective antitumor immunoprophylaxis outcome against OVA-expressing melanoma model. Our findings suggest that RNA hydrophobization could serve as a viable approach for delivering RNA, thereby facilitating the exploration of RNA therapy in disease treatment."

+8762,skin cancer,38232136,Splicing neoantigen discovery with SNAF reveals shared targets for cancer immunotherapy.,"Immunotherapy has emerged as a crucial strategy to combat cancer by ""reprogramming"" a patient's own immune system. Although immunotherapy is typically reserved for patients with a high mutational burden, neoantigens produced from posttranscriptional regulation may provide an untapped reservoir of common immunogenic targets for new targeted therapies. To comprehensively define tumor-specific and likely immunogenic neoantigens from patient RNA-Seq, we developed Splicing Neo Antigen Finder (SNAF), an easy-to-use and open-source computational workflow to predict splicing-derived immunogenic MHC-bound peptides (T cell antigen) and unannotated transmembrane proteins with altered extracellular epitopes (B cell antigen). This workflow uses a highly accurate deep learning strategy for immunogenicity prediction (DeepImmuno) in conjunction with new algorithms to rank the tumor specificity of neoantigens (BayesTS) and to predict regulators of mis-splicing (RNA-SPRINT). T cell antigens from SNAF were frequently evidenced as HLA-presented peptides from mass spectrometry (MS) and predict response to immunotherapy in melanoma. Splicing neoantigen burden was attributed to coordinated splicing factor dysregulation. Shared splicing neoantigens were found in up to 90% of patients with melanoma, correlated to overall survival in multiple cancer cohorts, induced T cell reactivity, and were characterized by distinct cells of origin and amino acid preferences. In addition to T cell neoantigens, our B cell focused pipeline (SNAF-B) identified a new class of tumor-specific extracellular neoepitopes, which we termed ExNeoEpitopes. ExNeoEpitope full-length mRNA predictions were tumor specific and were validated using long-read isoform sequencing and in vitro transmembrane localization assays. Therefore, our systematic identification of splicing neoantigens revealed potential shared targets for therapy in heterogeneous cancers."
+8763,skin cancer,38232117,Dog size and patterns of disease history across the canine age spectrum: Results from the Dog Aging Project.,"Age in dogs is associated with the risk of many diseases, and canine size is a major factor in that risk. However, the size patterns are complex. While small size dogs tend to live longer, some diseases are more prevalent among small dogs. In this study we seek to quantify how the pattern of disease history varies across the spectrum of dog size, dog age, and their interaction. Utilizing owner-reported data on disease history from a substantial number of companion dogs enrolled in the Dog Aging Project, we investigate how body size, as measured by weight, associates with the lifetime prevalence of a reported condition and its pattern across age for various disease categories. We found significant positive associations between dog size and the lifetime prevalence of skin, bone/orthopedic, gastrointestinal, ear/nose/throat, cancer/tumor, brain/neurologic, endocrine, and infectious diseases. Similarly, dog size was negatively associated with lifetime prevalence of ocular, cardiac, liver/pancreas, and respiratory disease categories. Kidney/urinary disease prevalence did not vary by size. We also found that the association between age and lifetime disease prevalence varied by dog size for many conditions including ocular, cardiac, orthopedic, ear/nose/throat, and cancer. Controlling for sex, purebred vs. mixed-breed status, and geographic region made little difference in all disease categories we studied. Our results align with the reduced lifespan in larger dogs for most of the disease categories and suggest potential avenues for further examination."

However, no research has been conducted on PS and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Therefore, this study sought to explore the potential mechanism of PS in treating HCC. PS was searched for in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform and SYMMAP databases. HCC targets were searched for in five major databases. Protein-protein interaction network, Gene Ontology, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses were performed. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation were used for verification. Furthermore, in vitro experiments were used to verify the regulation of PS on human HCC (HepG2) cells. Ten ingredients and 95 common targets were identified for PS and HCC, respectively. The key targets of ingredients mainly relate to pathways such as hepatitis B, lipid and atherosclerosis, advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-AGE receptors (RAGEs) signaling pathway in diabetic complications, interleukin-17 (IL-17) signaling pathway, mitogen activated kinase-like protein (MAPK) signaling pathway, the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. In addition, the molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation analysis indicated the ingredients had strong binding ability with the targets. Moreover, in vitro experiments confirmed that luteolin can promote the apoptosis of HepG2 cells by controlling the expression of phosphorylated protein-tyrosine kinase (p-AKT). This study provides preliminary evidence that PS produces a marked effect in regulating multiple signaling pathways in HCC through multiple ingredients acting on multiple core genes, including AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 (AKT1), MYC, caspase 3 (CASP3), estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), jun proto-oncogene(JUN), and provides the basis for follow-up research to verify the mechanism of action of PS in treating HCC."

In 2024, 2,001,140 new cancer cases and 611,720 cancer deaths are projected to occur in the United States. Cancer mortality continued to decline through 2021, averting over 4 million deaths since 1991 because of reductions in smoking, earlier detection for some cancers, and improved treatment options in both the adjuvant and metastatic settings. However, these gains are threatened by increasing incidence for 6 of the top 10 cancers. Incidence rates increased during 2015-2019 by 0.6%-1% annually for breast, pancreas, and uterine corpus cancers and by 2%-3% annually for prostate, liver (female), kidney, and human papillomavirus-associated oral cancers and for melanoma. Incidence rates also increased by 1%-2% annually for cervical (ages 30-44 years) and colorectal cancers (ages <55 years) in young adults. Colorectal cancer was the fourth-leading cause of cancer death in both men and women younger than 50 years in the late-1990s but is now first in men and second in women. Progress is also hampered by wide persistent cancer disparities; compared to White people, mortality rates are two-fold higher for prostate, stomach and uterine corpus cancers in Black people and for liver, stomach, and kidney cancers in Native American people.

+8790,skin cancer,38229178,The roles of tissue resident macrophages in health and cancer.,"As integral components of the immune microenvironment, tissue resident macrophages (TRMs) represent a self-renewing and long-lived cell population that plays crucial roles in maintaining homeostasis, promoting tissue remodeling after damage, defending against inflammation and even orchestrating cancer progression. However, the exact functions and roles of TRMs in cancer are not yet well understood. TRMs exhibit either pro-tumorigenic or anti-tumorigenic effects by engaging in phagocytosis and secreting diverse cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors to modulate the adaptive immune system. The life-span, turnover kinetics and monocyte replenishment of TRMs vary among different organs, adding to the complexity and controversial findings in TRMs studies. Considering the complexity of tissue associated macrophage origin, macrophages targeting strategy of each ontogeny should be carefully evaluated. Consequently, acquiring a comprehensive understanding of TRMs' origin, function, homeostasis, characteristics, and their roles in cancer for each specific organ holds significant research value. In this review, we aim to provide an outline of homeostasis and characteristics of resident macrophages in the lung, liver, brain, skin and intestinal, as well as their roles in modulating primary and metastatic cancer, which may inform and serve the future design of targeted therapies."

Melanoma is one of the most commonly used models for immunotherapy development, though an inadequate immune response can occur. Moreover, the development of pyroptosis-related therapy and combinations with other therapeutic strategies is limited due to insufficient understanding of the role of pyroptosis in the context of different tumor immune microenvironments (TMEs)."

While the techniques used for these reconstructive surgery procedures have improved over time, flap complications and even failure remain a significant clinical challenge. Animal models are useful in studying the pathophysiology of ischemic flaps, but when repeatability is a primary focus of a study, conventional in-vivo designs, where one randomized subset of animals serves as a treatment group while a second subset serves as a control, are at a disadvantage instigated by greater subject-to-subject variability. Our goal was to provide a step-by-step methodological protocol for creating an alternative standardized, more economical, and transferable pre-clinical animal research model of excisional full-thickness wound healing following a simulated autologous tissue transfer which includes the primary ischemia, reperfusion, and secondary ischemia events with the latter mimicking flap salvage procedure."
+8793,skin cancer,38228863,Inequality by Skin Color in Breast Cancer Screening in Brazil: a Differences-in-Differences Analysis of the COVID-19 Pandemic.,"Breast cancer is the second most common cancer type and the first in mortality among Brazilian women. Mammograms are one of the main early diagnosis strategies. National breast cancer screening coverage is still low. Brazil's low screening coverage is due to high mammography access inequality. Skin color defines healthcare access differences. Our article explores the natural event of the COVID-19 pandemic to analyze differences in screening rates between two racial groups of women through the application of the differences in differences (DiD) estimator. The results indicate that BBI women (Black, Brown, and Indigenous Brazilian) have lower screening rates than WY women (White and Yellow) and that the pandemic reduced the difference between these two groups due to the lower number of mammograms performed by WY women. It is believed that the information channel can explain much of this result. The BA population, wealthier and more educated, may have had additional information about COVID-19 and its consequences, as well as an increased likelihood of working remotely and practicing social distance. Structural racism causes many social indicators to be correlated with inequality of access to mammography and negatively impacts health conditions for BBI women. Public policies are necessary for equal access to breast cancer screening for the most vulnerable women."
+8794,skin cancer,38228854,Unveiling breast cancer metastasis through an advanced X-ray imaging approach.,"Breast cancer is a significant global health burden, causing a substantial number of deaths. Systemic metastatic tumour cell dissemination is a major cause of poor outcomes. Understanding the mechanisms underlying metastasis is crucial for effective interventions. Changes in the extracellular matrix play a pivotal role in breast cancer metastasis. In this work, we present an advanced multimodal X-ray computed tomography, by combining Small-angle X-ray Scattering Tensor Tomography (SAXS-TT) and X-ray Fluorescence Computed Tomography (XRF-CT). This approach likely brings out valuable information about the breast cancer metastasis cascade. Initial results from its application on a breast cancer specimen reveal the collective influence of key molecules in the metastatic mechanism, identifying a strong correlation between zinc accumulation (associated with matrix metalloproteinases MMPs) and highly oriented collagen. MMPs trigger collagen alignment, facilitating breast cancer cell intravasation, while iron accumulation, linked to angiogenesis and vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF, supports cell proliferation and metastasis. Therefore, these findings highlight the potential of the advanced multimodal X-ray computed tomography approach and pave the way for in-depth investigation of breast cancer metastasis, which may guide the development of novel therapeutic approaches and enable personalised treatment strategies, ultimately improving patient outcomes in breast cancer management."

Examination showed 1 cm × 1 cm single superficial ulcer in the right labium majus. Excision was done, and histopathologic examination revealed surface ulceration and dermal invasion by epithelial neoplasm formed of biphasic proliferation of squamoid and gland-forming cells. Immunohistochemical staining with p63 showed nuclear staining of the squamoid nests and was negative in areas with glandular differentiation, while epithelial membrane antigen and carcinoembryonic antigen highlighted the glandular elements. The case was diagnosed as primary cutaneous adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC). ASC is an uncommon malignant cutaneous neoplasm that is more aggressive than conventional squamous cell carcinoma. There are a few reports of ASC that presented as an erythematous papule or plaque with a preference for the head, neck, or upper extremities. We report a novel case of vulval ASC presented as a superficial ulcer, which is considered a unique site, and its clinical presentation."

It is usually isolated from tropical and subtropical regions, causing reactive inflammation, skin abscesses, and pain. Cerebral infection caused by F. monophora is rare but often fatal. Diagnosing this disease at an early stage is difficult, and appropriate antifungal therapy is often delayed as a result. We report the case of a 53-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes who presented with a headache 2 months ago and progressive right-sided weakness of 1 month's duration. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a space-occupying lesion in the left frontal lobe and corpus callosum. The cystic mass was removed by surgical intervention, and the identification of the sample based on sequencing of the internal transcribed spaced region in BLAST-N search showed that the sequences producing most significant alignments were F. monophora or similar (query cover 99%, E value 0.0, per ident 99.84).

+8804,skin cancer,38226976,The effector program of human CD8 T cells supports tissue remodeling.,"CD8 T lymphocytes are classically viewed as cytotoxic T cells. Whether human CD8 T cells can, in parallel, induce a tissue regeneration program is poorly understood. Here, antigen-specific assay systems revealed that human CD8 T cells not only mediated cytotoxicity but also promoted tissue remodeling. Activated CD8 T cells could produce the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-ligand amphiregulin (AREG) and sensitize epithelial cells for enhanced regeneration potential. Blocking the EGFR or the effector cytokines IFN-γ and TNF could inhibit tissue remodeling. This regenerative program enhanced tumor spheroid and stem cell-mediated organoid growth. Using single-cell gene expression analysis, we identified an AREG+, tissue-resident CD8 T cell population in skin and adipose tissue from patients undergoing abdominal wall or abdominoplasty surgery. These tissue-resident CD8 T cells showed a strong TCR clonal relation to blood PD1+TIGIT+ CD8 T cells with tissue remodeling abilities. These findings may help to understand the complex CD8 biology in tumors and could become relevant for the design of therapeutic T cell products."

One of the most common postoperative complications following TL is the development of a pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF), characterized by a communication between the neopharynx and the skin. PCF can lead to extended hospital stays, delayed oral feeding, and compromised quality of life. The use of a myofascial pectoralis major flap (PMMF) as an onlay technique during pharyngeal closure has shown potential in reducing PCF rates in high risk patients for development of PCF such as patients undergoing TL after chemoradiation and low skeletal muscle mass (SMM). Its impact on various functional outcomes, such as shoulder and neck function, swallowing function, and voice quality, remains less explored. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of PMMF in reducing PCF rates in patients with low SMM and its potential consequences on patient well-being."
+8808,skin cancer,38225244,Dermatologist-like explainable AI enhances trust and confidence in diagnosing melanoma.,"Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have been shown to help dermatologists diagnose melanoma more accurately, however they lack transparency, hindering user acceptance. Explainable AI (XAI) methods can help to increase transparency, yet often lack precise, domain-specific explanations. Moreover, the impact of XAI methods on dermatologists' decisions has not yet been evaluated. Building upon previous research, we introduce an XAI system that provides precise and domain-specific explanations alongside its differential diagnoses of melanomas and nevi. Through a three-phase study, we assess its impact on dermatologists' diagnostic accuracy, diagnostic confidence, and trust in the XAI-support. Our results show strong alignment between XAI and dermatologist explanations. We also show that dermatologists' confidence in their diagnoses, and their trust in the support system significantly increase with XAI compared to conventional AI. This study highlights dermatologists' willingness to adopt such XAI systems, promoting future use in the clinic."

+8810,skin cancer,38225106,Preconditioning with immunogenic cell death-inducing treatments for subsequent immunotherapy.,"Since the dawn of anticancer immunotherapy, the clinical use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) has increased exponentially. Monoclonal antibodies targeting CTLA-4 and the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction were first introduced for the treatment of patients with unresectable melanoma. In melanoma, ICI lead to durable regression in a significant number of patients and have thus been clinically approved as a first-line treatment of advanced disease. Over the past years an increasing number of regulatory approvals have been granted for the use of ICI in patients affected by a large range of distinct carcinomas. In retrospect surprisingly, it has been discovered that particularly successful chemotherapeutic treatments are able to trigger anticancer immune responses because they induce immunogenic cell death (ICD), hence killing cancer cells in a way that they elicit an immune response against tumor-associated antigens. Logically, preclinical studies as well as clinical trials are currently exploring the possibility to combine ICD inducers with ICI to obtain optimal therapeutic effects. Here, we provide a broad overview of current strategies for the implementation of combinatorial approaches involving ICD induction followed by ICI in anticancer therapy."

+8812,skin cancer,38224873,TERT promoter mutations in atypical melanocytic lesions: A series of seven cases with adverse melanoma-specific outcome.,"The majority of melanocytic proliferations can be readily categorized as benign or malignant based on histologic assessment under the microscope by a trained dermatopathologist. However, a subset of lesions, termed Atypical Melanocytic Proliferations (AMPs), are histologically ambiguous, leading to possible diagnostic error and suboptimal treatment. Mutations in the promoter region of the catalytic subunit of telomerase, telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), are commonly found in melanomas but are rare in melanocytic nevi. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of hot spot TERT promoter (TERT-p) mutations in AMPs with adverse melanoma-specific outcome. Studies were approved by respective institutional review boards. Using a multi-center database, we identified seven cases of melanocytic proliferations with a clinical follow-up period of at least 4 years, which were initially diagnosed as AMPs, and which recurred either as melanoma at site of prior biopsy or as metastatic melanoma. Sequencing of the TERT-p region showed hotspot mutations in three cases (43 %), suggesting that TERT-p mutations are enriched and could aid in the identification of AMPs with adverse outcome. In comparison with existing ancillary techniques for prognostication of AMPs, TERT-p mutation analysis may have advantages in terms of cost effectiveness and turnaround time, and is a promising diagnostic parameter with potential widespread utility."

+8814,skin cancer,38224791,Sarcoid within the oral cavity of a horse.,"Equine sarcoids are common skin tumors that are thought to be caused by cross-species infection by bovine papillomaviruses (BPV). A 16-year-old horse developed a 1cm diameter mandibular gingival mass opposite the right second premolar tooth (406) and a 2cm diameter mass close to the commissure of the lips on the same side of the mouth. The right cheek was diffusely thickened. Histology of the smaller mass revealed a proliferation of mesenchymal cells covered by hyperplastic epithelium that formed thick rete pegs. BPV2 DNA was amplified from the mass. Although the mass had been incompletely excised, there was no recurrence after 5 months. The histological features and detection of BPV2 DNA is consistent with a diagnosis of equine sarcoid. Sarcoids have not previously been reported in the oral cavity of horses. It is hypothesized that trauma to the mouth may have been important for sarcoid development. Additionally, different BPV types may have variable ability to infect the gingiva. While rare, sarcoids are a differential for an oral mass in a horse."
+8815,skin cancer,38224755,Targeted intradermal delivery of alpha-arbutin-loaded dissolving polymeric microneedles visualized by three-dimensional Orbitrap secondary ion mass spectrometry (3D OrbiSIMS).,"Hyperpigmentation, a prevalent dermatological condition characterized by melanin overproduction, poses treatment challenges due to the hydrophilicity of alpha-arbutin, a widely utilized tyrosinase inhibitor. This study investigates the efficacy of dissolving microneedles (DMNs) in augmenting skin permeation for alpha-arbutin delivery to the targeted epidermal site. Porcine full-thickness skin was employed in a 24-hour Franz cell study, commencing with the assessment of commercial alpha-arbutin-containing products. Solid steel microneedles (CMNs) from Dermapen® were utilized as both pre- and post-treatment modalities to evaluate the influence of different applications on alpha-arbutin delivery. Additionally, alpha-arbutin-loaded polyvinylpyrrolidone-co-vinyl acetate (PVPVA) DMNs, containing 2 % w/w alpha-arbutin, were fabricated and examined for their permeation-enhancing capabilities. HPLC analysis and 3D Orbitrap Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (OrbiSIMS) were employed to quantify and visualize alpha-arbutin in various Franz cell components. Results indicate that alpha-arbutin permeation to the skin was restricted (less than 1 %) without microneedle application and significantly increased by 6-fold (4-5 %) with post-treatment CMNs and DMNs, but not with pre-treatment CMNs. Notably, DMNs exhibited a more sustainable and robust capacity than post-treatment CMNs. OrbiSIMS imaging analysis revealed that DMNs visually enhance skin permeation of alpha-arbutin by delivering the compound to the basal layer of the targeted skin location. Overall, this study underscores the potential of DMNs as a promising delivery system for promoting targeted intradermal delivery of alpha-arbutin, providing a comprehensive exploration of various methodologies to identify innovative and improved microneedle approaches for alpha-arbutin permeation."
+8816,skin cancer,38224715,A genomic and bioinformatic-based approach to identify genetic variants for liver cancer across multiple continents.,"Liver cancer is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. Well-known risk factors include hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus, along with exposure to aflatoxins, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Genomic variants play a crucial role in mediating the associations between these risk factors and liver cancer. However, the specific variants involved in this process remain under-explored. This study utilized a bioinformatics approach to identify genetic variants associated with liver cancer from various continents. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with liver cancer were retrieved from the genome-wide association studies catalog. Prioritization was then performed using functional annotation with HaploReg v4.1 and the Ensembl database. The prevalence and allele frequencies of each variant were evaluated using Pearson correlation coefficients. Two variants, rs2294915 and rs2896019, encoded by the PNPLA3 gene, were found to be highly expressed in the liver tissue, as well as in the skin, cell-cultured fibroblasts, and adipose-subcutaneous tissue, all of which contribute to the risk of liver cancer. We further found that these two SNPs (rs2294915 and rs2896019) were positively correlated with the prevalence rate. Positive associations with the prevalence rate were more frequent in East Asian and African populations. We highlight the utility of this population-specific PNPLA3 genetic variant for genetic association studies and for the early prognosis and treatment of liver cancer. This study highlights the potential of integrating genomic databases with bioinformatic analysis to identify genetic variations involved in the pathogenesis of liver cancer. The genetic variants investigated in this study are likely to predispose to liver cancer and could affect its progression and aggressiveness. We recommend future research prioritizing the validation of these variations in clinical settings."
+8817,skin cancer,38224566,Differential Distribution of the DNA-PKcs Inhibitor Peposertib Selectively Radiosensitizes Patient-derived Melanoma Brain Metastasis Xenografts.,"Radioresistance of melanoma brain metastases limits the clinical utility of conventionally fractionated brain radiation in this disease, and strategies to improve radiation response could have significant clinical impact. The catalytic subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs) is critical for repair of radiation-induced DNA damage, and inhibitors of this kinase can have potent effects on radiation sensitivity. In this study, the radiosensitizing effects of the DNA-PKcs inhibitor peposertib were evaluated in patient-derived xenografts of melanoma brain metastases (M12, M15, M27). In clonogenic survival assays, peposertib augmented radiation-induced killing of M12 cells at concentrations ≥100 nmol/L, and a minimum of 16 hours exposure allowed maximal sensitization. This information was integrated with pharmacokinetic modeling to define an optimal dosing regimen for peposertib of 125 mpk dosed just prior to and 7 hours after irradiation. Using this drug dosing regimen in combination with 2.5 Gy × 5 fractions of radiation, significant prolongation in median survival was observed in M12-eGFP (104%; P = 0.0015) and M15 (50%; P = 0.03), while more limited effects were seen in M27 (16%, P = 0.04). These data support the concept of developing peposertib as a radiosensitizer for brain metastases and provide a paradigm for integrating in vitro and pharmacokinetic data to define an optimal radiosensitizing regimen for potent DNA repair inhibitors."

Vitiligo-like lesions have been reported and are rare. They can negatively impact patients' quality of life and may be associated with survival benefits. We describe the clinical characteristics of vitiligo-like lesions in an international cohort of patients treated with CDK4/6i to help improve recognition and management.
+8819,skin cancer,38224423,Therapeutic Management of Malignant Wounds: An Update.,"Malignant fungating wounds (MFW) are severe skin conditions generating tremendous distress in oncological patients with advanced cancer stages because of pain, malodor, exudation, pruritus, inflammation, edema, and bleeding. The classical therapeutic approaches such as surgery, opioids, antimicrobials, and application of different wound dressings are failing in handling pain, odor, and infection control, thus urgently requiring the development of alternative strategies. The aim of this review was to provide an update on the current therapeutic strategies and the perspectives on developing novel alternatives for better malignant wound management. The last decade screened literature evidenced an increasing interest in developing natural treatment alternatives based on beehive, plant extracts, pure vegetal compounds, and bacteriocins. Promising therapeutics can also be envisaged by involving nanotechnology due to either intrinsic biological activities or drug delivery properties of nanomaterials. Despite recent progress in the field of malignant wound care, the literature is still mainly based on in vitro and in vivo studies on small animal models, while the case reports and clinical trials (less than 10 and only one providing public results) remain scarce. Some innovative treatment approaches are used in clinical practice without prior extensive testing in fungating wound patients. Extensive research is urgently needed to fill this knowledge gap and translate the identified promising therapeutic approaches to more advanced testing stages toward creating multidimensional wound care strategies."
+8820,skin cancer,38224405,Simultaneous melanomas in the setting of multiple primary melanomas.,"It is estimated that about 1-13% of melanoma patients will develop multiple primary melanomas. Although the occurrence of subsequent tumors has been described during the last few years, the development of simultaneous melanomas has not yet been extensively studied. We reviewed our registries to identify patients with multiple primary melanomas. We studied epidemiological, clinical, and histological characteristics of patients who were diagnosed with simultaneous melanomas and compared them with those of patients who developed non-synchronous multiple primary melanomas. As simultaneous were defined subsequent melanomas that were diagnosed either at the same visit or within a time-period of maximum of 1 month. Between 2000 and 2020, 2500 patients were diagnosed with melanoma at Andreas Syggros Hospital. 86 (3.4%) patients presented multiple primary melanomas and among them, 35 (40.7%) developed simultaneous melanomas. Patients with simultaneous melanomas developed more frequently more than 2 tumors. First tumors of patients with non-synchronous melanomas were significantly thicker than second tumors while those of patients with simultaneous melanomas did not differ significantly. Slight differences in the tumor localization, staging and histologic type were observed between the two groups. However significant differences were ascertained between first and second tumors in both groups. Simultaneous melanomas occupy an important proportion of multiple primary melanomas, affecting a non-negligible number of patients. Slight differences between simultaneous and non-synchronous multiple primary melanomas seem to define a distinct subcategory of multiple primary melanomas."
+8821,skin cancer,38224383,Comparison of skin dose in IMRT and VMAT with TrueBeam and Halcyon linear accelerator for whole breast irradiation.,"With the increasing use of flattening filter free (FFF) beams, it is important to evaluate the impact on the skin dose and target coverage of breast cancer treatments. This study aimed to compare skin doses of treatments using FFF and flattening filter (FF) beams for breast cancer. The study established treatment plans for left breast of an anthropomorphic phantom using Halcyon's 6-MV FFF beam and TrueBeam's 6-MV FF beam. Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) with varying numbers of arcs and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) were employed, and skin doses were measured at five points using Gafchromic EBT3 film. Each measurement was repeated three times, and averaged to reduce uncertainty. All plans were compared in terms of plan quality to ensure homogeneous target coverage. The study found that when using VMAT with two, four, and six arcs, in-field doses were 19%, 15%, and 6% higher, respectively, when using Halcyon compared to TrueBeam. Additionally, when using two arcs for VMAT, in-field doses were 10% and 15% higher compared to four and six arcs when using Halcyon. Finally, in-field dose from Halcyon using IMRT was about 1% higher than when using TrueBeam. Our research confirmed that when treating breast cancer with FFF beams, skin dose is higher than with traditional FF beams. Moreover, number of arcs used in VMAT treatment with FFF beams affects skin dose to the patient. To maintain a skin dose similar to that of FF beams when using Halcyon, it may be worth considering increasing the number of arcs."

+8823,skin cancer,38224358,The effect of microRNA-9 overexpression on inhibition of melanoma cancer stem cells tumorigenicity.,"Most of the studies have reported the downregulation of miR-9 in metastatic melanomas compared to primary tumors. They indicated that miR-9 negatively regulates the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by inhibiting SNAIL1 expression and consequently promotes CDH1 expression. Since the process of EMT is associated to stem cell features, it could be interesting to study the effect of miR-9 on melanoma cancer stem cells. In the present study, we examined the effects of miR-9 manipulation on the stemness potential of melanoma cells. Our data demonstrated that the overexpression of miR-9 in A375 and NA8 cells significantly inhibits the ability of proliferation, self-renewal, migration, and tumorigenicity of melanoma cells which was concomitant with changes in the level of BRAF , some EMT factors, and stemness genes. Likewise, the reduction of miR-9 levels led to an increase in cell proliferation, colony and sphere formation, and the ability of cell migration and tumorigenicity. In conclusion, our results specified the role of miR-9 as a tumor suppressor miRNA to inhibit many aspects of melanoma stem cells, and therefore, it could be a potential candidate for the suppression of melanoma growth and progression."
+8824,skin cancer,38224262,Vitamin D3 and its Potential to Ameliorate Chemical and Radiation-Induced Skin Injury During Cancer Therapy.,"Skin injury and dermatitis are common complications following chemotherapy and radiation administration for cancer treatment. Symptomatic relief of these complications is limited to slow-acting therapies and often results in holding or modifying cancer therapy that may impact patient outcomes. The off-label use of oral high dose vitamin D3 has demonstrated rapid clinical improvement in skin inflammation and swelling in both chemotherapy and radiation-induced injury. Furthermore, vitamin D3 has been shown to downregulate pro-inflammatory pathways and cytokines, including NFkB, and CCL2, as well as CCL20, which are not only involved in tissue injury, but may confer resistance to cancer treatment. In this paper, we discuss 2 patients with acute radiation dermatitis and acute radiation recall dermatitis following chemotherapy who received 50 000 - 100 000 IU of oral high dose vitamin D3 with improvement in their symptoms. These findings may indicate the potential use of vitamin D as a therapeutic intervention and future target for studying skin healing following chemotherapy and/ or radiation-induced cutaneous toxicity."

The biological overlap between malignant T cells and their normal counterparts has brought obstacles in identifying tumor-specific features and mechanisms, limiting current knowledge of CTCL pathogenesis. Transcriptional dysregulation leading to abnormal gene expression profiles contributes to the initiation, progression and drug resistance of cancer. Therefore, we aimed to identify tumor-specific transcription factor underlying CTCL pathology."

This includes artificial skin, scaffolds or devices designed for treatment, imitation, or improvement of skin function in wounds and injuries. Therefore, tremendous efforts have been made to develop functional skin substitutes. However, there is still few reports systematically discuss the relationship between the advanced function and design requirements. In this paper, we review the classification, functions, and design requirements of artificial skin or skin substitutes. Different manufacturing strategies for skin substitutes such as hydrogels, 3D/4D printing, electrospinning, microfluidics are summarized. This review also introduces currently available skin substitutes in clinical trials and on the market and the related regulatory requirements. Finally, the prospects and challenges of skin substitutes in the field of tissue engineering are discussed."

Because of the non-invasive nature of these measurements and their ease of use, the method has been widely used in various medically related applications. The goal of this paper was to review and describe the uses and findings of such TDC measurements, considering and including the wide array of medical applications. The review is in part based on information derived from an analysis of published material obtained via literature searches of four major electronic databases and, in part, based on the author's experience with the TDC measurement methods and their various applications and his professional experiences. The databases searched were PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and CINAHL Complete. Based on the initial search criteria, a total of 1257 titles were identified. After removing duplicates and filtering according to relevancy, 160 remained for detailed further review. In some cases, the bibliography of these retrieved articles provided additional sources. The findings demonstrate multiple research and medical uses and applications of TDC measurements, focusing on detecting and quantifying localized edema and lymphedema in multiple target sites. These include the upper and lower extremities, breasts, and trunk as regions involved in medical conditions causing lymphedema. In addition, the findings suggest that TDC evaluations are a convenient, non-invasive method to study and evaluate other conditions impacting skin, including diabetes mellitus and skin wounds or ulcers. Its ability to detect aspects of tissue changes simply and rapidly at almost any anatomical location makes it a useful tool for investigating multiple dermatological conditions and their treatment as future applications of this method."

Various factors, including congenital anomalies, cancer, trauma, infections, inflammation, or iatrogenic injuries, can lead to damage or loss of the vaginal structure, necessitating repair or replacement. Often, such reconstruction procedures involve the use of nonvaginal tissue substitutes, like segments of the large intestine or skin, which are less than ideal both anatomically and functionally. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new methods of vaginal reconstruction. In this study, we established a new method for isolation and expansion of vaginal epithelial and smooth muscle cells. Subsequently, collagen scaffolds designed for vaginal reconstruction were loaded with vaginal epithelial and smooth muscle cells "

Recent researches assessed the possibility of irradiating only the surgical bed in selected patients (Partial Breast Irradiation, PBI). In 2014 we designed a study to evaluate toxicity and cosmesis of APBI using Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy-Rapid Arc compared with hypofractionated whole breast irradiation (WBI). We present here the 5-years updated data. HYPAB was a single-institution randomized trial that recruited 172 patients from 2015 to 2018. Patients underwent conserving surgery and were randomized to either adjuvant WBI (40.5Gy/15 fractions with simultaneous boost to 48 Gy to tumoral bed) or APBI (30Gy/5 fractions), both delivered with VMAT-RA technique. Clinical evaluation was performed during the first visit, once a week during radiotherapy and during follow up. Cosmesis was assessed using the Harvard Scale for Breast Cosmesis. At the time of the analysis 161 patients were eligible, 53% in the WBI and 47% in the APBI group, with a median follow-up of 67 months. Most common late skin toxicities were G1 fibrosis (32%) and oedema (28%) and were higher in the WBI group; no G3 toxicities were observed. Cosmesis was rated poor in only 6 cases. 147 patients had no evidence of disease at the last follow-up, and no patients died of the disease. Mature results confirm the safety and efficacy of APBI in selected early stage breast cancer patients. Late toxicity is improved in the APBI arm at the cost of a slight increase in local relapse. Further studies are ongoing to better elucidate the use of APBI as a de-escalation approach."

Diagnosis of PEComas can be challenging due to focal or lost expression of traditional immunohistochemical markers, limited availability of molecular testing, and morphological overlap with much more common smooth muscle tumors. This study evaluates the use of glycoprotein nonmetastatic melanoma protein B (GPNMB) immunohistochemical staining as a surrogate marker for TSC1/2/MTOR alteration or TFE3 rearrangement to differentiate PEComas from other mesenchymal tumors. Cathepsin K was also assessed for comparison. A total of 399 tumors, including PEComas, alveolar soft part sarcomas, and other histologic PEComa mimics, were analyzed using GPNMB and cathepsin K immunohistochemistry. GPNMB expression was seen in all PEComas and alveolar soft part sarcomas with the majority showing diffuse and moderate-to-strong labeling, whereas other sarcomas were negative or showed focal labeling. When a cutoff of diffuse and at least moderate staining was used, GPNMB demonstrated 95% sensitivity and 97% specificity in distinguishing PEComas from leiomyosarcoma, well-differentiated/dedifferentiated liposarcomas, and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas. Cathepsin K with a cutoff of any labeling had lower sensitivity (78%) and similar specificity (94%) to GPNMB. This study highlights GPNMB as a highly sensitive marker for PEComas and suggests its potential use as an ancillary tool within a panel of markers for accurate classification of these tumors."

A distinctive clinical feature of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas is their sensitivity to treatment with histone deacetylase inhibitors. However, responses to histone deacetylase inhibitor therapy are universally transient and noncurative, highlighting the need for effective and durable drug combinations. In this study, we demonstrate that the combination of romidepsin, a selective class I histone deacetylase inhibitor, with afatinib, an EGFR family inhibitor, induces strongly synergistic antitumor effects in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma models in vitro and in vivo through abrogation of Jak-signal transducer and activator of transcription signaling. These results support a previously unrecognized potential role for histone deacetylase inhibitor plus afatinib combination in the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas."

By leveraging their distinctive attributes including rapid proliferation, inherent abilities to colonize various biointerfaces in vivo and produce diverse biomolecules, and the flexibility to be functionalized via genetic engineering or surface modification, bacteria have been widely developed as living therapeutic agents, showing promising potential to make a great impact on the exploration of advanced drug delivery systems. In this review, we present an overview of bacteria-based drug delivery and its applications in treating non-oncological diseases. We systematically summarize the physiological positions where living bacterial therapeutic agents can be delivered to, including the skin, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, and female genital tract. We discuss the success of using bacteria-based drug delivery systems in the treatment of diseases that occur in specific locations, such as skin wound healing/infection, inflammatory bowel disease, respiratory diseases, and vaginitis. We also discuss the advantages as well as the limitations of these living therapeutics and bacteria-based drug delivery, highlighting the key points that need to be considered for further translation. This review article may provide unique insights for designing next-generation bacteria-based therapeutics and developing advanced drug delivery systems."

This study aimed to decipher molecular mechanisms associated with arsenic-induced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) and suggest potential protective factors. RNA-seq-based differentially expressed genes between arsenic-exposed human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and controls were used to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and discover critical subnetwork-based mechanisms. Protective compounds against arsenic toxicity were determined and their target interactions in the core sub-network were identified by the comparative toxicogenomic database (CTD). The binding affinity between the effective factor and target was calculated by molecular docking. A total of 15 key proteins were screened out as critical arsenic-responsive subnetwork (FN1, IL-1A, CCN2, PECAM1, FGF5, EDN1, FGF1, PXDN, DNAJB9, XBP1, ERN1, PDIA4, DNAJB11, FOS, PDIA6) and 7 effective protective agents were identified (folic acid, quercetin, zinc, acetylcysteine, methionine, catechin, selenium). The GeneMANIA predicted detailed interactions of the subnetwork and revealed terms related to unfolded protein response as the main processes. FN1, IL1A and CCN2, as top significant genes, had good docking affinity with folic acid and quercetin, as selected key compounds. Integration of gene expression and protein-protein interaction related to arsenic exposure in cSCC explored the potential mechanisms and protective agents."

+8854,skin cancer,38218316,Protocol for high throughput 3D drug screening of patient derived melanoma and renal cell carcinoma.,"High Throughput Screening (HTS) with 3D cell models is possible thanks to the recent progress and development in 3D cell culture technologies. Results from multiple studies have demonstrated different drug responses between 2D and 3D cell culture. It is now widely accepted that 3D cell models more accurately represent the physiologic conditions of tumors over 2D cell models. However, there is still a need for more accurate tests that are scalable and better imitate the complex conditions in living tissues. Here, we describe ultrahigh throughput 3D methods of drug response profiling in patient derived primary tumors including melanoma as well as renal cell carcinoma that were tested against the NCI oncologic set of FDA approved drugs. We also tested their autologous patient derived cancer associated fibroblasts, varied the in-vitro conditions using matrix vs matrix free methods and completed this in both 3D vs 2D rendered cancer cells. The result indicates a heterologous response to the drugs based on their genetic background, but not on their maintenance condition. Here, we present the methods and supporting results of the HTS efforts using these 3D of organoids derived from patients. This demonstrated the possibility of using patient derived 3D cells for HTS and expands on our screening capabilities for testing other types of cancer using clinically approved anti-cancer agents to find drugs for potential off label use."

The limited water solubility and bioavailability of lupeol have limited its therapeutic utility. To test their potential for treating diabetes and cancer, we synthesized lupeol@chitosan (LUP@CS) nanoparticles encapsulated in cellulose acetate (CA) membranes (LUP@CS/CA).

+8856,skin cancer,38218079,A low-anticoagulant heparin suppresses metastatic dissemination through the inhibition of tumor cell-platelets association.,"Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Despite this relevance, there is no specific therapy targeting metastasis. The interaction of the tumor cell with platelets, forming microemboli is crucial for successful hematogenous dissemination. Heparin disrupts it by a P-selectin-mediated event. However, its clinical use for this purpose is hindered by the requirement of high doses, leading to anticoagulant-related side effects. In this study, we obtained a low-anticoagulant heparin through the fractionation of a pharmaceutical bovine heparin. This derivative was referred to as LA-hep and we investigated its efficacy in inhibiting metastases and explored its capacity of suppressing the interaction between tumor cells and platelets. Our data revealed that LA-hep is as efficient as porcine unfractionated heparin in attenuating lung metastases from melanoma and colon adenocarcinoma cells in an assay with a single intravenous administration. It also prevents platelet arrest shortly after cell injection in wild-type mice and suppresses melanoma-platelets interaction in vitro. Moreover, LA-hep blocks P-selectin's direct binding to tumor cells and platelet aggregation, providing further evidence for the role of P-selectin as a molecular target. Even in P-selectin-depleted mice which developed a reduced number of metastatic foci, both porcine heparin and LA-hep further inhibited metastasis burden. This suggests evidence of an additional mechanism of antimetastatic action. Therefore, our results indicate a dissociation between the heparin anticoagulant and antimetastatic effects. Considering the simple and highly reproducible methodology used to purify LA-hep along with the data presented here, LA-hep emerges as a promising drug for future use in preventing metastasis in cancer patients."
+8857,skin cancer,38217840,Mapping the single cell spatial immune landscapes of the melanoma microenvironment.,"Melanoma is a highly immunogenic malignancy with an elevated mutational burden, diffuse lymphocytic infiltration, and one of the highest response rates to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, over half of all late-stage patients treated with ICIs will either not respond or develop progressive disease. Spatial imaging technologies are being increasingly used to study the melanoma tumor microenvironment (TME). The goal of such studies is to understand the complex interplay between the stroma, melanoma cells, and immune cell-types as well as their association with treatment response. Investigators seeking a better understanding of the role of cell location within the TME and the importance of spatial expression of biomarkers are increasingly turning to highly multiplexed imaging approaches to more accurately measure immune infiltration as well as to quantify receptor-ligand interactions (such as PD-1 and PD-L1) and cell-cell contacts. CyTOF-IMC (Cytometry by Time of Flight - Imaging Mass Cytometry) has enabled high-dimensional profiling of melanomas, allowing researchers to identify complex cellular subpopulations and immune cell interactions with unprecedented resolution. Other spatial imaging technologies, such as multiplexed immunofluorescence and spatial transcriptomics, have revealed distinct patterns of immune cell infiltration, highlighting the importance of spatial relationships, and their impact in modulating immunotherapy responses. Overall, spatial imaging technologies are just beginning to transform our understanding of melanoma biology, providing new avenues for biomarker discovery and therapeutic development. These technologies hold great promise for advancing personalized medicine to improve patient outcomes in melanoma and other solid malignancies."

Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is an imaging technique that is especially helpful for the diagnosis of lentigo maligna. To determine the diagnostic performances of dermoscopy and RCM in the diagnosis of AHLM/LMMs we evaluated dermoscopic and RCM images of consecutive cases of histopathologically confirmed AHLM/LMMs, amelanotic/hypomelanotic basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (AHBCCs/AHSCCs), amelanotic/hypomelanotic benign lesions (AHBLs), and actinic keratoses (AKs) from five participating centers. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, predictive values, and level of diagnosis confidence were calculated for both diagnostic procedures. Both dermoscopy and RCM showed diagnostic performance >97% in the diagnosis of AHLM/LMMs versus AHBCC/AHSCCs and their combination slightly improved diagnostic performance, with accuracy increasing from 98.0% to 99.1%. Similarly, RCM in combination with dermoscopy showed a tiny increase in the diagnostic performance in the diagnosis of AHLM/LMMs versus AHBLs (accuracy increased from 87.2% to 88.8%) and versus AKs (accuracy increased from 91.4% to 93.4%). Although the increase in diagnostic performance due to RCM was modest, the combination of dermoscopy and RCM greatly increased the level of confidence; high confidence in the diagnosis of AHLM/LMMs versus AHBLs increased from 36.2% with dermoscopy alone to 76.6% with dermoscopy plus RMC. Based on our results, dermoscopy and RCM should be complementary to improve not only diagnostic accuracy but also the level of diagnostic certainty in the diagnosis of AHLM/LMMs."

Modulated electro-hyperthermia (mEHT) is an adjuvant therapy with demonstrated clinical efficacy for the treatment of various cancer types. In this study, we report that mEHT monotherapy stimulated interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression, and consequently cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), which may favor a cancer-promoting tumor microenvironment. Thus, we combined mEHT with nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): a nonselective aspirin, or the selective COX-2 inhibitor SC236, in vivo. We demonstrate that NSAIDs synergistically increased the effect of mEHT in the 4T1 TNBC model. Moreover, the strongest tumor destruction ratio was observed in the combination SC236 + mEHT groups. Tumor damage was accompanied by a significant increase in cleaved caspase-3, suggesting that apoptosis played an important role. IL-1β and COX-2 expression were significantly reduced by the combination therapies. In addition, a custom-made nanostring panel demonstrated significant upregulation of genes participating in the formation of the extracellular matrix. Similarly, in the B16F10 melanoma model, mEHT and aspirin synergistically reduced the number of melanoma nodules in the lungs. In conclusion, mEHT combined with a selective COX-2 inhibitor may offer a new therapeutic option in TNBC."

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of exosome biology and its potential applications in acute skin wound healing and beyond. Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles secreted by various stem cells, have emerged as potent mediators of intercellular communication and tissue repair. One advantage of exosome therapy is its ability to avoid potential risks associated with stem cell therapy, such as immune rejection or stem cells differentiating into unwanted cell types. However, further research is necessary to optimize exosome therapy, not only in the areas of exosome isolation, characterization, and engineering, but also in determining the optimal dose, timing, administration, and frequency of exosome therapy. Thus, optimization of exosome therapy is critical for the development of more effective and safer exosome-based therapies for acute skin wound healing and other diseases induced by cancer, ischemia, or inflammation. This review provides valuable insights into the potential of exosome therapy and highlights the need for further research to optimize exosome therapy for clinical use."

We used the Mechanical Turk microtask market to crowdsource the labeling of PBS images. We then use the expert-tagged erythrocytesIDB dataset to assess the accuracy and reliability of our proposal. Our results showed that when a robust consensus is achieved among the Mechanical Turk workers, probability of error is very low, based on comparison with expert analysis. This suggests that our proposed approach can be used to annotate datasets of PBS images, which can then be used to train automated methods for the diagnosis of SCD. In future work, we plan to explore the potential integration of our findings with outcomes obtained through automated methodologies. This could lead to the development of more accurate and reliable methods for the diagnosis of SCD."

Here, we discuss a unique case of a woman in her 70s who presented with newly diagnosed diabetes and a neglected right breast cancer associated with breast erythema, skin necrosis, crepitus on examination and breast soft tissue gas seen on CT requiring emergent total mastectomy with partial pectoralis muscle excision. Pathology revealed a 15 cm invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma and necrotising polymicrobial cellulitis with a large abscess cavity. She recovered from her surgery with strict glycaemic control and a 10-day course of antibiotics. Multidisciplinary tumour board recommended adjuvant anastrozole, abemaciclib and postmastectomy radiation to complete her oncological treatment. Although exceedingly rare, it is important that clinicians be aware of, promptly recognise and properly treat NSTIs of the breast, as correct care can be life-saving from both infection and malignancy."

While various therapeutic strategies have been explored in case studies, the optimal treatment strategy is still under investigation and allogeneic cell transplantation is considered the only curative treatment. Here, we describe 2 patients who achieved complete molecular remission of the underlying UBA1 mutant clone outside the context of allogeneic HCT. Both patients received treatment with the hypomethylating agent azacitidine, and deep molecular remission triggered treatment de-escalation and even cessation with sustained molecular remission in one of them. Prospective studies are necessary to clarify which VEXAS patients will benefit most from hypomethylating therapy and to understand the variability in the response to different treatment strategies."

Atypical Spitz tumors are intermediate melanocytic lesions with features between benign Spitz nevi and malignant Spitz melanomas. They often present a diagnostic challenge to pathologists and dermatologists alike because they can mimic melanoma, especially high-grade atypical Spitz tumors. Importantly, they present a relevant clinical management challenge because definite recommendations for their management and treatment have not yet been established. Here we present the case of a young patient with a high-grade atypical Spitz tumor along with the diagnostic procedure and further management. We also review potential pitfalls in the literature that should alert clinicians to the more aggressive potential of the lesion, such as some BRAF fusions."

Our study presents a comprehensive multimodal single-cell analysis of blood from COVID-19 patients and healthy volunteers receiving the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and booster. We profiled immune responses via transcriptional analysis and lymphocyte repertoire reconstruction. COVID-19 patients displayed an enhanced interferon signature and cytotoxic gene upregulation, absent in vaccine recipients. B and T cell repertoire analysis revealed clonal expansion among effector cells in COVID-19 patients and memory cells in vaccine recipients. Furthermore, while clonal αβ T cell responses were observed in both COVID-19 patients and vaccine recipients, expansion of clonal γδ T cells was found only in infected individuals. Our dataset enables side-by-side comparison of immune responses to infection versus vaccination, including clonal B and T cell responses.

Utilization of immunosequencing, also known as high-throughput sequencing of the T-cell receptor (HTS-TCR), enables identification and quantification of the precise genetic signature of dominant T-cell clones. Although immunosequencing is more sensitive than commonly used methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) paired with capillary electrophoresis or flow cytometry, it remains underutilized for CTCL management. Nonetheless, incorporation of HTS-TCR in clinical practice offers distinct advantages compared to other molecular analyses that may improve diagnostic evaluation, prognostication, and disease monitoring in CTCL. The objective of this comprehensive review is to provide a thorough explanation of the application of immunosequencing in the context of CTCL. We describe the significance of T-cell clonality and the methods used to detect it, including a detailed comparison between PCR paired with capillary electrophoresis and HTS-TCR. The utilization of immunosequencing in the blood and skin of CTCL patients is discussed in depth, specifically outlining how HTS-TCR can assist in diagnosing CTCL, predicting outcomes, and tracking disease progression. Finally, we address the potential applications of immunosequencing in clinical management and research as well as the novel challenges it presents."

They can be categorized into two main functional subsets: IFN-γ-producing γδT1 cells and IL-17-producing γδT17 cells. While CD27 expression segregates these two subsets in mice, little is known about human γδT17 cell differentiation and expansion. Previous studies have identified γδT17 cells in human skin and mucosal tissues, including the oral cavity and colon. However, human γδ T cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) primarily produce IFN-γ. In this protocol, we describe a method for in vitro expansion and polarization of human γδT17 cells from PBMCs. Key Features • Expansion of γδ T cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. • Human IL-17A-producing γδ T-cell differentiation and expansion using IL-7 and anti-γδTCR. • Analysis of IL-17A production post γδ T-cell expansion.

This study aimed to investigate whether these findings hold true in real-world conditions for patients with stage III and IV melanoma. In particular, the study explores the efficacy and side effects of adjuvant therapies, focusing on anti-PD-1 antibodies and BRAF/MEK inhibitors. While clinical trials have shown comparable efficacy, differences in side-effect profiles, especially the persistence of immune-related adverse events with anti-PD-1 antibodies, highlight the need for careful consideration in adjuvant settings. In the absence of established biomarkers for guiding adjuvant therapy decisions, it becomes imperative to transparently communicate the advantages and disadvantages of drug administration to patients. The study also delved into the impact of melanoma subtype and BRAF mutation status on the effectiveness of adjuvant therapy, emphasizing the need for further investigation."

Although it is benign, unnecessary and excessive treatment, such as extensive or total removal of the nail matrix, has been reported in the past. Recently, it was speculated that onychomatricoma is derived from onychomatricodermis, the dermal stroma of the nail matrix. Excision of the stromal rather than the epithelial component of the tumor is important. However, since the boundary between the normal and diseased stroma is usually unclear, minimal excision at the base of the tumor projection should be sufficient. We report a case of onychomatricoma and suggest a method of surgical treatment that would minimize postoperative deformity of the nail plate."

Although existing immunotherapy regimens (CAR-T, etc.) have made breakthroughs in the treatments of hematological cancer and few solid tumors such as melanoma, the therapeutic efficacy on most solid tumors is still far from being satisfactory. In recent years, the researches on tumor immunotherapy based on nanocatalytic materials are under rapid development, and significant progresses have been made. Nanocatalytic medicine has been demonstrated to be capable of overcoming the limitations of current clinicnal treatments by using toxic chemodrugs, and exhibits highly attractive advantages over traditional therapies, such as the enhanced and sustained therapeutic efficacy based on the durable catalytic activity, remarkably reduced harmful side-effects without using traditional toxic chemodrugs, and so on. Most recently, nanocatalytic medicine has been introduced in the immune-regulation for disease treatments, especially, in the immunoactivation for tumor therapies. This article presents the most recent progresses in immune-response activations by nanocatalytic medicine-initiated chemical reactions for tumor immunotherapy, and elucidates the mechanism of nanocatalytic medicines in regulating anti-tumor immunity. By reviewing the current research progress in the emerging field, this review will further highlight the great potential and broad prospects of nanocatalysis-based anti-tumor immune-therapeutics."

+8905,skin cancer,38211370,Ultrasound-enhanced nano catalyst with ferroptosis-apoptosis combined anticancer strategy for metastatic uveal melanoma.,"Uveal melanoma is the most common primary ocular tumor owing to its highly invasive and metastatic characteristics. Currently, standard clinical treatment has an unsatisfied curative effect due to the lack of an effective approach to inhibit the tumor metastasis. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new strategy that can both restraint local tumors and suppress the ocular tumor metastasis. Herein, we developed ultrasound-responsive nanoparticles (FeP NPs) that can both hinder the growth of in situ ocular tumor and prevent the tumor metastasis through the ferroptosis-apoptosis combined-anticancer strategy. The FeP NPs were assembling by stimulating gallic acid-Fe (III) and paclitaxel, then could be internalized into tumor cells under the cooperative effect of ultrasound, which further activates the intracellular Fenton reaction and generates high reactive oxygen species levels, ultimately leading to mitochondrial damage, lipid per-oxidation, and apoptosis. The FeP NPs can efficiently inhibit the tumor growth in an orthotopic uveal melanoma model. More importantly, the level of the promoting-metastatic factor nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) secreted by cancer cells is significantly reduced, further limits cancer metastasis to the cervical lymph node and finally inhibits lung metastasis of uveal melanoma. We believe that these designed ultrasound-enhanced nanoparticles possess potential clinical application for preventing the regeneration and metastasis of uveal melanoma."

The transducer was divided into 32 concentric rings with equal surface areas, operating at 2.5 MHz. Eight animals were split into two groups of 4. In the first group, post-mortem evaluation was performed immediately after ultrasound exposure. In the second group, animals survived for up to seven days before post-mortem evaluation. The ultrasound imaging guided HIFU device was hand-held during the procedure using optical tracking to ensure correct targeting. One thermal lesion in each animal was created using a 40 s exposure at 80 acoustic Watts (free-field) in the trigone region of the bladder wall. The average (±Standard Deviation) abdominal wall and bladder wall thicknesses were 10.3 ± 1.4 mm and 1.1 ± 0.4 mm respectively. The longest and shortest axes of the HIFU ablations were 7.7 ± 2.9 mm and 6.0 ± 1.8 mm, respectively, resulting in an ablation of the whole thickness of the bladder wall in most cases. Ablation were performed at an average depth (distance from the skin surface to the centre of the HIFU lesion) of 42.5 ± 3.8 mm and extended throughout the thickness of the bladder. There were two cases of injury to tissues immediately adjacent to the bladder wall but without signs of perforation, as confirmed by histological analysis. Non-invasive HIFU ablation using a hand-held toroidal transducer was successfully performed to destroy regions of the bladder wall in vivo."

However, despite the presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), melanoma cells use strategies to suppress antitumor immunity and avoid being eliminated by immune surveillance. The PD-1 (programmed death-1)/PD-L1 (programmed death-ligand 1) axis is a well-known immune escape system adopted by neoplastic cells. Therefore, immunotherapy with PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors is quickly becoming the main treatment approach for metastatic melanoma patients. However, the clinical utility of PD-L1 expression assessment in CM is controversial, and the interpretation of PD-L1 scores in clinical practice is still a matter of debate. Nonetheless, the recent literature data show that by adopting specific PD-L1 assessment methods in melanoma samples, a correlation between the expression of such a biomarker and a positive response to PD-1-based immunotherapy can be seen. Our review aims to describe the state-of-the-art knowledge regarding the prognostic and predictive role of PD-L1 expression in CM while also referring to possible biological explanations for the variability in its expressions and related treatment responses."

However, problems arise with the development of JQ-1 in clinical trials, such as marked lymphoid and hematopoietic toxicity, leading to the investigation of combination therapy. SZU-101 is a TLR7 agonist designed and synthesized by our group with potent immunostimulatory activity. Therefore, we hypothesized that combination therapy of SZU-101 and JQ-1 would target innate immunity and adaptive immunity simultaneously, to achieve a better antitumor efficacy than monotherapy. In this study, the repressive effects of the combination administration on tumor growth and metastasis were demonstrated in both murine breast cancer and melanoma models. In 4T1 tumor-bearing mice, i.t. treatment with SZU-101 in combination with i.p. treatment with JQ-1 suppressed the growth of tumors at both injected and uninjected sites.

Constitutive activation of this pathway by BRAF mutations can cause downstream activation of kinases, leading to uncontrolled cellular growth and carcinogenesis. Therefore, inhibition of BRAF and the downstream substrate MEK has been shown to be effective in controlling tumor growth and proliferation. Over the last decade, several BRAF and MEK inhibitors have been investigated, ranging from primarily melanoma to various cancer types with BRAF alterations.

So far, some studies have shown cannabinoids to be safe in helping mitigate some cancer-associated complications, including chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, cancer-associated pain, and tumor growth. Researchers have been particularly interested in the potential uses of cannabinoids in treating cancer due to their ability to regulate cancer-related cell cycle pathways, prompting many beneficial effects, such as tumor growth prevention, cell cycle obstruction, and cell death. Cannabinoids have been found to affect tumors of the brain, prostate, colon and rectum, breast, uterus, cervix, thyroid, skin, pancreas, and lymph. However, the full potential of cannabinoids is yet to be understood. This review discusses current knowledge on the promising applications of cannabinoids in treating three different side effects of cancer-chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, cancer-associated pain, and tumor development. The findings suggest that cannabinoids can be used to address some side effects of cancer and to limit the growth of tumors, though a lack of supporting clinical trials presents a challenge for use on actual patients. An additional challenge will be examining whether any of the over one hundred naturally occurring cannabinoids or dozens of synthetic compounds also exhibit useful clinical properties. Currently, clinical trials are underway; however, no regulatory agencies have approved cannabinoid use for any cancer symptoms beyond antinausea."

The majority of sarcomas occur sporadically with their etiology being unknown, but there are several, well-established genetic predisposition syndromes and some environmental exposures associated with specific sarcomas. Recently, many studies have shown that sarcomas, in analogy with colorectal, skin, head and neck, esophageal, lung, and liver carcinomas, also have a male sex predilection. Significant gender differences have already been observed in childhood sarcomas. Among the tumors strongly associated with the male sex, childhood sarcomas have been identified as being particularly sensitive to the biological differences between the sexes, with special regard to soft tissue sarcomas. As the biological mechanisms underlying the sex differences in the incidence of soft tissue sarcomas remain largely unexplored, this review aims to highlight the factors underlying these differences to inform prevention and treatment."

Breslow thickness, which determines the staging and surgical margin of the tumor, is unavailable at initial diagnosis. Novel imaging techniques for assessing Breslow thickness lack comparative data. This study evaluates optically guided high-frequency ultrasound (OG-HFUS) and multispectral imaging (MSI) for preoperative estimation of Breslow thickness and staging. We enrolled 101 patients with histologically confirmed primary melanoma and categorized them based on tumor thickness. Optically guided 33 MHz HFUS and MSI were utilized for the assessment. Our MSI-based algorithm categorized melanomas into three subgroups with a sensitivity of 62.6%, specificity of 81.3%, and fair agreement (κ = 0.440, CI: 0.298-0.583). In contrast, OG-HFUS demonstrated a sensitivity of 91.8%, specificity of 96.0%, and almost perfect agreement (κ = 0.858, CI: 0.763-0.952).

Although cancer can appear on any part of the human body, skin cancer accounts for a significant proportion of all new cancer diagnoses worldwide. There are substantial obstacles to the precise diagnosis and classification of skin lesions because of morphological variety and indistinguishable characteristics across skin malignancies. Recently, deep learning models have been used in the field of image-based skin-lesion diagnosis and have demonstrated diagnostic efficiency on par with that of dermatologists. To increase classification efficiency and accuracy for skin lesions, a cutting-edge multi-layer deep convolutional neural network termed SkinLesNet was built in this study. The dataset used in this study was extracted from the PAD-UFES-20 dataset and was augmented. The PAD-UFES-20-Modified dataset includes three common forms of skin lesions: seborrheic keratosis, nevus, and melanoma. To comprehensively assess SkinLesNet's performance, its evaluation was expanded beyond the PAD-UFES-20-Modified dataset. Two additional datasets, HAM10000 and ISIC2017, were included, and SkinLesNet was compared to the widely used ResNet50 and VGG16 models. This broader evaluation confirmed SkinLesNet's effectiveness, as it consistently outperformed both benchmarks across all datasets."

While recent advances in deep learning have dramatically improved medical image analysis, including skin cancer classification, ensemble methods offer a pathway for further enhancing diagnostic accuracy. This study introduces a cutting-edge approach employing the Max Voting Ensemble Technique for robust skin cancer classification on ISIC 2018: Task 1-2 dataset. We incorporate a range of cutting-edge, pre-trained deep neural networks, including MobileNetV2, AlexNet, VGG16, ResNet50, DenseNet201, DenseNet121, InceptionV3, ResNet50V2, InceptionResNetV2, and Xception. These models have been extensively trained on skin cancer datasets, achieving individual accuracies ranging from 77.20% to 91.90%. Our method leverages the synergistic capabilities of these models by combining their complementary features to elevate classification performance further. In our approach, input images undergo preprocessing for model compatibility. The ensemble integrates the pre-trained models with their architectures and weights preserved. For each skin lesion image under examination, every model produces a prediction. These are subsequently aggregated using the max voting ensemble technique to yield the final classification, with the majority-voted class serving as the conclusive prediction. Through comprehensive testing on a diverse dataset, our ensemble outperformed individual models, attaining an accuracy of 93.18% and an AUC score of 0.9320, thus demonstrating superior diagnostic reliability and accuracy. We evaluated the effectiveness of our proposed method on the HAM10000 dataset to ensure its generalizability. Our ensemble method delivers a robust, reliable, and effective tool for the classification of skin cancer. By utilizing the power of advanced deep neural networks, we aim to assist healthcare professionals in achieving timely and accurate diagnoses, ultimately reducing mortality rates and enhancing patient outcomes."
+8940,skin cancer,38201278,Sox10-Deficient Drug-Resistant Melanoma Cells Are Refractory to Oncolytic RNA Viruses.,"Targeted therapy resistance frequently develops in melanoma due to intratumor heterogeneity and epigenetic reprogramming. This also typically induces cross-resistance to immunotherapies. Whether this includes additional modes of therapy has not been fully assessed. We show that co-treatments of MAPKi with VSV-based oncolytics do not function in a synergistic fashion; rather, the MAPKis block infection. Melanoma resistance to vemurafenib further perturbs the cells' ability to be infected by oncolytic viruses. Resistance to vemurafenib can be induced by the loss of SOX10, a common proliferative marker in melanoma. The loss of SOX10 promotes a cross-resistant state by further inhibiting viral infection and replication. Analysis of RNA-seq datasets revealed an upregulation of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) in SOX10 knockout populations and targeted therapy-resistant cells. Interestingly, the induction of ISGs appears to be independent of type I IFN production. Overall, our data suggest that the pathway mediating oncolytic resistance is due to the loss of SOX10 during acquired drug resistance in melanoma."

Recently, extracellular amyloid fibrils have emerged as novel components of the tumor microenvironment; however, their function remains elusive. In this study, we establish a direct connection between the presence of amyloid fibrils in the secretome and the activation of YAP, a transcriptional co-activator involved in cancer proliferation and drug resistance. Furthermore, we uncover a shared mechano-signaling mechanism triggered by amyloid fibrils in both melanoma and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells. Our findings highlight the crucial role of the glycocalyx protein Agrin which binds to extracellular amyloid fibrils and acts as a necessary factor in driving amyloid-dependent YAP activation. Additionally, we reveal the involvement of the HIPPO pathway core kinase LATS1 in this signaling cascade. Finally, we demonstrate that extracellular amyloid fibrils enhance cancer cell migration and invasion. In conclusion, our research expands our knowledge of the tumor microenvironment by uncovering the role of extracellular amyloid fibrils in driving mechano-signaling and YAP activation.

Here, a self-heating microneedle (MN) patch with multilevel structures, including a dissolvable base for rapid drug release, a degradable tip for sustained drug release, and a self-heating substrate is described. The thermally enhanced drug release performance is validated through both in vitro and in vivo experiments. High tumor therapeutic efficacy can be achieved due to the rapid release of 5-fluorouracil, while the sustained release of thymoquinone endows the MN patch with long-term tumor inhibition ability. It is further demonstrated the feasibility of such an MN patch for in vivo topical therapy of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma with high efficacy, low side effects, and long-term inhibition of recurrence. This self-heating MN patch holds great promise for potential clinical applications, especially for the treatment of skin cancers."

We aimed to examine second cutaneous melanoma (SCM) risk in BC patients who underwent RT and to assess their survival outcomes. Data from 520,977 BC patients diagnosed between 1973-2018 were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Cumulative SCM incidence was estimated using the Fine-Gray competing risk model. Poisson regression analysis was conducted to calculate the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) and estimate the SCM relative risk in patients who underwent RT compared to those who did not. Overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were assessed using the Kaplan‒Meier method. Among the 520,977 BC patients, 243,676 (46.8%) underwent surgery and RT, while 277,301 (53.2%) only underwent surgery. Our results suggest that BC patients receiving RT had a higher SCM risk than those who did not (hazard ratio [HR] 1.40; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.30-1.51; P < 0.001). SCM incidence was also higher in BC patients treated with RT than in the general US population (SIR 1.12; 95% CI 1.05-1.19; P < 0.05). However, SCM patients who received RT had a significantly higher 10-year survival rate than those who did not receive RT (14.90% vs 5.94%; P < 0.001). No significant difference was found in 10-year OS or 5-year CSS between SCM following RT and only primary cutaneous melanoma (OPCM), but SCM patients who did not receive RT had a significantly lower 10-year OS, with no significant difference in CSS. This study suggests an increased SCM likelihood in BC patients due to RT, although the overall risk is minimal."

However, it is still the case that not all patients respond successfully to these therapies, indicating the presence of as yet unknown resistance mechanisms. Hence, it is crucial to find novel targets to improve therapy efficacy. One of the described resistance mechanisms is regulated by immune inhibitory Siglec receptors, which are engaged by the carbohydrates sialic acids expressed on tumour cells, contributing to programmed cell death protein-1 (PD1)-like immune suppression mechanisms. In this review, we provide an overview on the regulation of sialic acid synthesis, its expression in melanoma, and the contribution of the sialic acid-Siglec axis to tumour development and immune suppressive mechanisms in the tumour microenvironment. Finally, we highlight potential sialic acid-Siglec axis-related therapeutics to improve the treatment of melanoma."

We aimed to identify different tear statuses from preoperative MRI using deep learning-based radiomics with sex and age. We reviewed 862 patients with preoperative MRI scans reflecting ACL status from Hunan Provincial People's Hospital. Based on sagittal proton density-weighted images, a fully automated approach was developed that consisted of a deep learning model for segmenting ACL tissue (ACL-DNet) and a deep learning-based recognizer for ligament status classification (ACL-SNet). The efficacy of the proposed approach was evaluated by using the sensitivity, specificity and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and compared with that of a group of three orthopedists in the holdout test set. The ACL-DNet model yielded a Dice coefficient of 98% ± 6% on the MRI datasets. Our proposed classification model yielded a sensitivity of 97% and a specificity of 97%. In comparison, the sensitivity of alternative models ranged from 84 to 90%, while the specificity was between 86 and 92%. The AUC of the ACL-SNet model was 99%, demonstrating high overall diagnostic accuracy. The diagnostic performance of the clinical experts as reflected in the AUC was 96%, 92% and 88%, respectively. The fully automated model shows potential as a highly reliable and reproducible tool that allows orthopedists to noninvasively identify the ACL status and may aid in optimizing different techniques, such as ACL remnant preservation, for ACL reconstruction."
+8991,skin cancer,38195917,The role of CRAF in cancer progression: from molecular mechanisms to precision therapies.,"The RAF family of kinases includes key activators of the pro-tumourigenic mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. Hyperactivation of RAF proteins, particularly BRAF and CRAF, drives tumour progression and drug resistance in many types of cancer. Although BRAF is the most studied RAF protein, partially owing to its high mutation incidence in melanoma, the role of CRAF in tumourigenesis and drug resistance is becoming increasingly clinically relevant. Here, we summarize the main known regulatory mechanisms and gene alterations that contribute to CRAF activity, highlighting the different oncogenic roles of CRAF, and categorize RAF1 (CRAF) mutations according to the effect on kinase activity. Additionally, we emphasize the effect that CRAF alterations may have on drug resistance and how precision therapies could effectively target CRAF-dependent tumours.

Immunotherapy has emerged as a pivotal constituent in cancer treatment, offering improved prognostic outcomes for a substantial patient cohort. Noteworthy for its precision, immunotherapy encompasses strategies such as adoptive cell therapy and checkpoint inhibitors, orchestrating the immune system to recognize and selectively target malignant cells. Exploiting the specificity of the immune response renders immunotherapy efficacious, as it selectively targets the body's immune milieu. Diverse mechanisms underlie cancer immunotherapies, leading to distinct toxicity profiles compared to conventional treatments. A remarkable clinical stride in the anticancer resources is immunotherapy. Remarkably, certain recalcitrant cancers like skin malignancies exhibit resistance to radiation or chemotherapy, yet respond favorably to immunotherapeutic interventions. Notably, combination therapies involving chemotherapy and immunotherapy have exhibited synergistic effects, enhancing overall therapeutic efficacy. Understanding the pivotal role of immunotherapy elucidates its complementary value, bolstering the therapeutic landscape. In this review, we elucidate the taxonomy of cancer immunotherapy, encompassing adoptive cell therapy and checkpoint inhibitors, while scrutinizing their distinct adverse event profiles. Furthermore, we expound on the unprecedented potential of immunogenic vaccines to bolster the anticancer immune response. This comprehensive analysis underscores the significance of immunotherapy in modern oncology, unveiling novel prospects for tailored therapeutic regimens."

Metabolic interventions can modulate the SASP, and mitochondrial energy metabolism supports resistance to therapy in melanoma. In a previous report we showed that senescence, induced by the DNA methylating agent temozolomide, increased the level of fusion proteins mitofusin 1 and 2 in melanoma, and silencing Mfn1 or Mfn2 expression reduced interleukin-6 secretion by senescent cells. Here we expanded these observations evaluating the secretome of senescent melanoma cells using shotgun proteomics, and explored the impact of silencing Mfn1 on the SASP. A significant increase in proteins reported to reduce the immune response towards the tumor was found in the media of senescent cells. The secretion of several of these immunomodulatory proteins was affected by Mfn1 silencing, among them was galectin-9. In agreement, tumors lacking mitofusin 1 responded better to treatment with the methylating agent dacarbazine, tumor size was reduced and a higher immune cell infiltration was detected in the tumor. Our results highlight mitochondrial dynamic proteins as potential pharmacological targets to modulate the SASP in the context of melanoma treatment."
+8994,skin cancer,38195702,Breaking NGF-TrkA immunosuppression in melanoma sensitizes immunotherapy for durable memory T cell protection.,"Melanoma cells, deriving from neuroectodermal melanocytes, may exploit the nervous system's immune privilege for growth. Here we show that nerve growth factor (NGF) has both melanoma cell intrinsic and extrinsic immunosuppressive functions. Autocrine NGF engages tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA) on melanoma cells to desensitize interferon γ signaling, leading to T and natural killer cell exclusion. In effector T cells that upregulate surface TrkA expression upon T cell receptor activation, paracrine NGF dampens T cell receptor signaling and effector function. Inhibiting NGF, either through genetic modification or with the tropomyosin receptor kinase inhibitor larotrectinib, renders melanomas susceptible to immune checkpoint blockade therapy and fosters long-term immunity by activating memory T cells with low affinity. These results identify the NGF-TrkA axis as an important suppressor of anti-tumor immunity and suggest larotrectinib might be repurposed for immune sensitization. Moreover, by enlisting low-affinity T cells, anti-NGF reduces acquired resistance to immune checkpoint blockade and prevents melanoma recurrence."

Augmented fluoroscopic bronchoscopy (AFB) procedures, which combine bronchoscopy and fluoroscopy, are crucial for diagnosing and treating lung cancer. However, fluoroscopy exposes patients and physicians to radiation, and therefore, the procedure requires careful monitoring. The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement and the International Commission on Radiological Protection have emphasised the importance of monitoring patient doses and ensuring occupational radiation safety. The present study evaluated radiation doses during AFB procedures, focusing on patient skin doses, the effective dose, and the personal dose equivalent to the eye lens for physicians. Skin doses were measured using thermoluminescent dosimeters. Peak skin doses were observed on the sides of the patients' arms, particularly on the side closest to the x-ray tube. Differences in the procedures and experience of physicians between the two hospitals involved in this study were investigated. AFB procedures were conducted more efficiently at Hospital A than at Hospital B, resulting in lower effective doses. Cone-beam computed tomography (CT) contributes significantly to patient effective doses because it has higher radiographic parameters. Despite their higher radiographic parameters, AFB procedures resulted in smaller skin doses than did image-guided interventional and CT fluoroscopy procedures. The effective doses differed between the two hospitals of this study due to workflow differences, with cone-beam CT playing a dominant role. No significant differences in left and right eye"

However, to date, while the tumorigenic function of S6K1 in tumor cells has been well elucidated, its role in the tumor stroma remains poorly understood. We recently showed that S6K1 mediates vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) production in macrophages, thereby supporting tumor angiogenesis and growth. As macrophage-derived VEGF-A is crucial for both tumor cell intravasation and extravasation across the vascular endothelium, our previous findings suggest that stromal S6K1 signaling is required for tumor metastatic spread. Therefore, we aimed to determine the impact of host S6K1 depletion on tumor metastasis using a murine model of pulmonary metastasis (S6k1"
+9001,skin cancer,38194735,Detection and subtyping of basal cell carcinoma in whole-slide histopathology using weakly-supervised learning.,"The frequency of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) cases is putting an increasing strain on dermatopathologists. BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, and its incidence is increasing rapidly worldwide. AI can play a significant role in reducing the time and effort required for BCC diagnostics and thus improve the overall efficiency of the process. To train such an AI system in a fully-supervised fashion however, would require a large amount of pixel-level annotation by already strained dermatopathologists. Therefore, in this study, our primary objective was to develop a weakly-supervised for the identification of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and the stratification of BCC into low-risk and high-risk categories within histopathology whole-slide images (WSI). We compared Clustering-constrained Attention Multiple instance learning (CLAM) with StreamingCLAM and hypothesized that the latter would be the superior approach. A total of 5147 images were used to train and validate the models, which were subsequently tested on an internal set of 949 images and an external set of 183 images. The labels for training were automatically extracted from free-text pathology reports using a rule-based approach. All data has been made available through the COBRA dataset. The results showed that both the CLAM and StreamingCLAM models achieved high performance for the detection of BCC, with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.994 and 0.997, respectively, on the internal test set and 0.983 and 0.993 on the external dataset. Furthermore, the models performed well on risk stratification, with AUC values of 0.912 and 0.931, respectively, on the internal set, and 0.851 and 0.883 on the external set. In every single metric the StreamingCLAM model outperformed the CLAM model or is on par. The performance of both models was comparable to that of two pathologists who scored 240 BCC positive slides. Additionally, in the public test set, StreamingCLAM demonstrated a comparable AUC of 0.958, markedly superior to CLAM's 0.803. This difference was statistically significant and emphasized the strength and better adaptability of the StreamingCLAM approach."

Therapy of this highly aggressive hematological disease should be initiated as soon as possible, especially in light of novel targeted therapies that have become available. However, differential diagnosis of BPDCN remains challenging. This retrospective study aimed to highlight the challenges to timely diagnoses of BPDCN. We documented the diagnostic and clinical features of 43 BPDCN patients diagnosed at five academic hospitals from 2001-2022. The frequency of BPDCN diagnosis compared to AML was 1:197 cases. The median interval from the first documented clinical manifestation to diagnosis of BPDCN was 3 months. Skin (65%) followed by bone marrow (51%) and blood (45%) involvement represented the most common sites. Immunophenotyping revealed CD4 + , CD45 + , CD56 + , CD123 + , HLA-DR + , and TCL-1 + as the most common surface markers. Overall, 86% (e.g. CD33) and 83% (e.g., CD7) showed co-expression of myeloid and T-cell markers, respectively. In the median, we detected five genomic alterations per case including mutational subtypes typically involved in AML: DNA methylation (70%), signal transduction (46%), splicing factors (38%), chromatin modification (32%), transcription factors (32%), and RAS pathway (30%), respectively. The contribution of patients (30%) proceeding to any form of upfront stem cell transplantation (SCT; autologous or allogeneic) was almost equal resulting in beneficial overall survival rates in those undergoing allogeneic SCT (p =���0.0001). BPDCN is a rare and challenging entity sharing various typical characteristics of other hematological diseases.

+9005,skin cancer,38193852,PTEN Lipid Phosphatase Activity Suppresses Melanoma Formation by Opposing an AKT/mTOR/FRA1 Signaling Axis.,"Inactivating mutations in PTEN are prevalent in melanoma and are thought to support tumor development by hyperactivating the AKT/mTOR pathway. Conversely, activating mutations in AKT are relatively rare in melanoma, and therapies targeting AKT or mTOR have shown disappointing outcomes in preclinical models and clinical trials of melanoma. This has led to the speculation that PTEN suppresses melanoma by opposing AKT-independent pathways, potentially through noncanonical functions beyond its lipid phosphatase activity. In this study, we examined the mechanisms of PTEN-mediated suppression of melanoma formation through the restoration of various PTEN functions in PTEN-deficient cells or mouse models. PTEN lipid phosphatase activity predominantly inhibited melanoma cell proliferation, invasion, and tumor growth, with minimal contribution from its protein phosphatase and scaffold functions. A drug screen underscored the exquisite dependence of PTEN-deficient melanoma cells on the AKT/mTOR pathway. Furthermore, activation of AKT alone was sufficient to counteract several aspects of PTEN-mediated melanoma suppression, particularly invasion and the growth of allograft tumors. Phosphoproteomics analysis of the lipid phosphatase activity of PTEN validated its potent inhibition of AKT and many of its known targets, while also identifying the AP-1 transcription factor FRA1 as a downstream effector. The restoration of PTEN dampened FRA1 translation by inhibiting AKT/mTOR signaling, and FRA1 overexpression negated aspects of PTEN-mediated melanoma suppression akin to AKT. This study supports AKT as the key mediator of PTEN inactivation in melanoma and identifies an AKT/mTOR/FRA1 axis as a driver of melanomagenesis."

We used the keywords 'lncRNA' and 'melanoma' to search databases for studies published before June 14th, 2023. The specificity, sensitivity and AUC were utilized to assess diagnostic accuracy and the prognostic value was assessed using overall survival, progression-free survival and disease-free survival hazard ratios. After screening 1191 articles, we included seven studies in the diagnostic evaluation section and 17 studies in the prognosis evaluation section. The Reitsma bivariate model estimated a cumulative sensitivity of 0.724 (95% CI: 0.659-0.781, p < 0.001) and specificity of 0.812 (95% CI: 0.752-0.859, p < 0.001). The pooled AUC was 0.780 (95% CI: 0.749-0.811, p < 0.0001). The HR for overall survival was 2.723 (95% CI: 2.259-3.283, p < 0.0001). Two studies reported an HR for overall survival less than one, with an HR of 0.348 (95% CI: 0.200-0.607, p < 0.0002). The HR for progression-free survival was 2.913 (95% CI: 2.050-4.138, p < 0.0001).

We present a case of a post-surgical defect in a patient who underwent Mohs micrographic surgery for an invasive melanoma of the earlobe with an exposed parotid gland. We utilized a retroauricular-based rhomboid flap to provide full and immediate coverage for earlobe reconstruction in the setting of insufficient infra-auricular recruitable skin. The addition of Z-plasties at the base of an interpolation flap may reduce rotational restraint, thereby improving perfusion while enhancing flap extension for complete wound coverage where there is a lack of abundant donor tissue. The patient healed appropriately with no evidence of tumor recurrence."

+9013,skin cancer,38192243,Role of asprosin and meteorin-like peptide in progression of actinic keratosis to squamous cell carcinoma.,"Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) often develops from an underlying premalignant lesion. Factors that affect the progression of actinic keratosis (AK) to invasive SCC are not fully known. Asprosin (ASP) and meteorin-like peptide (METRNL) are adipokines that are involved primarily in glucose metabolism. We investigated the expression of ASP and METRNL in AK and SCC to evaluate the role of these adipokines in the development of SCC. We used 15 SCC specimens, 12 AK specimens and 12 healthy control skin specimens. ASP and METRNL protein expression in tumor and surrounding tissue was evaluated using immunohistochemistry. ASP expression in tumor tissue was significantly greater in the SCC group than in the control and AK groups, but it did not differ significantly between the AK and control groups. A positive correlation was observed for both ASP and METRNL expressions between tumor tissue and adjacent epidermis, hair follicles, sebaceous gland, eccrine gland, inflammatory cells and vascular structures. ASP and METRNL may exert pro-tumor effects toward development of invasive SCC. The expression intensity of ASP and METRNL can be used as a biomarker of risk of progression to SCC."
+9014,skin cancer,38191922,Myeloid-derived suppressor cells in cancer and cancer therapy.,"Anticancer agents continue to dominate the list of newly approved drugs, approximately half of which are immunotherapies. This trend illustrates the considerable promise of cancer treatments that modulate the immune system. However, the immune system is complex and dynamic, and can have both tumour-suppressive and tumour-promoting effects. Understanding the full range of immune modulation in cancer is crucial to identifying more effective treatment strategies. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous population of myeloid cells that develop in association with chronic inflammation, which is a hallmark of cancer. Indeed, MDSCs accumulate in the tumour microenvironment, where they strongly inhibit anticancer functions of T cells and natural killer cells and exert a variety of other tumour-promoting effects. Emerging evidence indicates that MDSCs also contribute to resistance to cancer treatments, particularly immunotherapies. Conversely, treatment approaches designed to eliminate cancer cells can have important additional effects on MDSC function, which can be either positive or negative. In this Review, we discuss the interplay between MDSCs and various other cell types found in tumours as well as the mechanisms by which MDSCs promote tumour progression. We also discuss the relevance and implications of MDSCs for cancer therapy."

Despite these breakthroughs, the 5-year survival rate of patients with advanced-stage melanoma is at most 50%, emphasizing the need for additional therapeutic strategies. Adoptive cell therapy with tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) is a therapeutic modality that has, in the past few years, demonstrated long-term clinical benefit in phase II/III trials involving patients with advanced-stage melanoma, including those with disease progression on ICIs and/or BRAF/MEK inhibitors. In this Review, we summarize the current status of TIL therapies for patients with advanced-stage melanoma, including potential upcoming marketing authorization, the characteristics of TIL therapy products, as well as future strategies that are expected to increase the efficacy of this promising cellular immunotherapy."
+9016,skin cancer,38191799,FGL2 promotes tumour growth and attenuates infiltration of activated immune cells in melanoma and ovarian cancer models.,"The tumour microenvironment is infiltrated by immunosuppressive cells, such as regulatory T cells (Tregs), which contribute to tumour escape and impede immunotherapy outcomes. Soluble fibrinogen-like protein 2 (sFGL2), a Treg effector protein, inhibits immune cell populations, via receptors FcγRIIB and FcγRIII, leading to downregulation of CD86 in antigen presenting cells and limiting T cell activation. Increased FGL2 expression is associated with tumour progression and poor survival in several different cancers, such as glioblastoma multiforme, lung, renal, liver, colorectal, and prostate cancer. Querying scRNA-seq human cancer data shows FGL2 is produced by cells in the tumour microenvironment (TME), particularly monocytes and macrophages as well as T cells and dendritic cells (DCs), while cancer cells have minimal expression of FGL2. We studied the role of FGL2 exclusively produced by cells in the TME, by leveraging Fgl2 knockout mice. We tested two murine models of cancer in which the role of FGL2 has not been previously studied: epithelial ovarian cancer and melanoma. We show that absence of FGL2 leads to a more activated TME, including activated DCs (CD86+, CD40+) and T cells (CD25+, TIGIT+), as well as demonstrating for the first time that the absence of FGL2 leads to more activated natural killer cells (DNAM-1+, NKG2D+) in the TME. Furthermore, the absence of FGL2 leads to prolonged survival in the B16F10 melanoma model, while the absence of FGL2 synergizes with oncolytic virus to prolong survival in the ID8-p53"

A strong driver of metastatic dissemination is the activation of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) regulating transcription factor ZEB1, and high expression of ZEB1 is associated with aggressiveness of UM. While ZEB1 expression can be also associated with immune tolerance, the underlying drivers of ZEB1 activation remain unclear."

However, diffusion-dependent systems often fail to provide >0.01-1% drug bioavailability when transporting macromolecules across poorly permeable physiological tissues such as the skin, solid tumors, the blood-brain barrier, and the gastrointestinal walls. Convection-enabling robotic ingestibles, wearables, and implantables physically interact with tissue walls to improve bioavailability in these settings by multiple orders of magnitude through convective mass transfer, the process of moving drug molecules via bulk fluid flow. In this Review, we compare diffusive and convective drug delivery systems, highlight engineering techniques that enhance the efficacy of convective devices, and provide examples of synergies between the two methods of drug transport."

How PBRM1 regulates normal epithelial homeostasis, prior to cancer initiation, remains unclear. Here, we show that PBRM1's gene regulatory roles differ drastically between cell states, leveraging human skin epithelium (epidermis) as a research platform. In progenitors, PBRM1 predominantly functions to repress terminal differentiation to sustain progenitors' regenerative potential; in the differentiation state, however, PBRM1 switches toward an activator. Between these two cell states, PBRM1 retains its genomic binding but associates with differential interacting proteins. Our targeted screen identified the E3 SUMO ligase PIAS1 as a key interactor. PIAS1 co-localizes with PBRM1 on chromatin to directly repress differentiation genes in progenitors, and PIAS1's chromatin binding drastically diminishes in differentiation. Furthermore, SUMOylation contributes to PBRM1's repressive function in progenitor maintenance. Thus, our findings highlight PBRM1's cell-state-specific regulatory roles influenced by its protein interactome despite its stable chromatin binding."

It is caused by the pathologic destruction of melanocytes, which produce melanin. Research has focused on the abnormalities of melanocytes and their interaction with neighboring keratinocytes. Current treatments are mainly immunosuppressive drugs and UV radiation, which are scarce and ineffective. To treat vitiligo, regenerative medicine techniques, such as cell-based and cell-free methods, are recommended. Keratinocyte cell transplantation has shown promising results in treating vitiligo. Moreover, studies suggest individualized therapy for diseases can be provided by reprogramming somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells. On the other hand, differentiation into particular cell types is a key component of induced pluripotent stem cells-based treatment. In this chapter, the differentiation and validation of human induced pluripotent stem cells into a keratinocyte as a therapeutic option in vitiligo will be discussed."

+9029,skin cancer,38189627,Low-Dose Chemotherapy Preferentially Shapes the Ileal Microbiome and Augments the Response to Immune Checkpoint Blockade by Activating AIM2 Inflammasome in Ileal Epithelial Cells.,"Intervention of the gut microbiome is a promising adjuvant strategy in cancer immunotherapy. Chemotherapeutic agents are recognized for their substantial impacts on the gut microbiome, yet their therapeutic potential as microbiome modulators remains uncertain, due to the complexity of microbiome-host-drug interactions. Here, it is showed that low-dose chemotherapy preferentially shapes the ileal microbiome to augment the extraintestinal immune response to anti-programmed death-1 (anti-PD-1) therapy without causing intestinal toxicity. Mechanistically, low-dose chemotherapy causes DNA damage restricted to highly-proliferative ileal epithelial cells, resulting in the accumulation of cytosolic dsDNA and the activation of the absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) inflammasome. AIM2-dependent IL-18 secretion triggers the interplay between proximal Th1 cells and Paneth cells in ileal crypts, impairing the local antimicrobial host defense and resulting in ileal microbiome change. Intestinal epithelium-specific knockout of AIM2 in mice significantly attenuates CPT-11-caused IL-18 secretion, Paneth cell dysfunction, and ileal microbiome alteration. Moreover, AIM2 deficiency in mice or antibiotic microbial depletion attenuates chemotherapy-augmented antitumor responses to anti-PD1 therapy. Collectively, these findings provide mechanistic insights into how chemotherapy-induced genomic stress is transduced to gut microbiome change and support the rationale of applying low-dose chemotherapy as a promising adjuvant strategy in cancer immunotherapy with minimal toxicity."

This study investigates the implications of PANoptosis in melanoma, a formidable skin cancer known for its metastatic potential and resistance to conventional therapies. Leveraging bulk and single-cell transcriptome analyses, machine learning modeling, and immune correlation assessments, we unveil the molecular intricacies of PANoptosis in melanoma. Single-cell sequencing identifies diverse cell types involved in PANoptosis, while bulk transcriptome analysis reveals key gene sets correlated with PANoptosis. Machine learning algorithms construct a robust prognostic model, demonstrating consistent predictive power across diverse cohorts. Patients with different cohorts can be divided into high-risk and low-risk groups according to this PANoptosis score, with the high-risk group having a significantly worse prognosis. Immune correlation analyses unveil a link between PANoptosis and immunotherapy response, with potential therapeutic implications. Mutation analysis and enrichment studies provide insights into the mutational landscape associated with PANoptosis. Finally, we used cell experiments to verify the expression and function of key gene PARVA, showing that PARVA was highly expressed in melanoma cell lines, and after PARVA is knocked down, cell invasion, migration, and colony formation ability were significantly decreased. This study advances our understanding of PANoptosis in melanoma, offering a comprehensive framework for targeted therapeutic interventions and personalized medicine strategies in combating this aggressive malignancy."

However, unique challenges exist in anterior EPB placement. Here, we describe a surgical technique for anterior EPB placement when placement requires plaque positioning onto the cornea. Blunt conjunctival peritomy exposes the sclera overlying the tumor. A ""dummy"" plaque is placed, with positioning confirmed by direct visualization. The amniotic membrane is draped across the cornea and anchored with the eyelet sutures, the plaque is placed overlying the membrane, the conjunctiva is closed over the plaque, and a temporary tarsorrhaphy is performed. One week later, the conjunctival incision is reopened for plaque/amniotic membrane removal. This technique was employed in the treatment of 12 iris/iridociliary melanomas at our institution, with no instances of corneal damage. In placing an anterior plaque, employing this technique allows appropriate cancer treatment while optimizing patient comfort and corneal integrity."

BCG in combination with programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors may yield greater anti-tumor activity compared with either agent alone. CREST is a phase III study evaluating the efficacy and safety of the subcutaneous PD-1 inhibitor sasanlimab in combination with BCG for patients with BCG-naive high-risk NMIBC. Eligible participants are randomized to receive sasanlimab plus BCG (induction ± maintenance) or BCG alone for up to 25 cycles within 12 weeks of TURBT. The primary outcome is event-free survival.

In the present study, the re-excision rate and the presence of residual tumors in re-excised SCs were evaluated. In this retrospective descriptive study, the pathological archives of a hospital center were examined for incompletely excised tumors. Out of the 96 incompletely excised tumors, 19 cases (19.8%) underwent re-excision, of which residual tumors were observed again in 7 cases (36.8%). The highest rate of residual tumor was found in the cheek (66.66%), and the involvement with tumor remnants of both margins combined was greater than the involvement of each of the lateral and deep margins alone.

The Kynurenine (Kyn) pathway is activated by the enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO-1) and has been shown to have a role in tumour progression. We have previously shown that interferon-γ (IFN-γ) acts as an inducer of tryptophan (Trp) degradation to Kyn in keratinocytes of the basal layer in a 3D epidermis model. Before extending our reconstructed human epidermis model to not only contain keratinocytes but also fibroblasts and melanocytes/melanoma cells, we have in this study set out to investigate possible differences between primary adult melanocytes and six melanoma cell lines regarding the expression of the immune checkpoint inhibitors IDO-1 and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) together with Kyn production."

+9038,skin cancer,38187789,Selenium - a scoping review for Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2023.,"Selenium is an essential trace element in humans, critical to the normal physiology in all animal species. The main form of selenium in food is selenomethionine, selenocysteine and a variety of organic compounds, while inorganic salts mainly occur in food supplements. In animals and humans, selenium occurs as selenocysteine in selenoproteins encoded by 25 genes (specific selenium pool). Several selenoproteins are part of the antioxidant enzyme system and serve as oxido-reductases and in thyroid hormone regulation. SelenoproteinP (SELENOP) transports selenium to peripheral tissues, is the main plasma selenoprotein, and has been used as biomarker of selenium status and intake. SELENOP in plasma represents a saturable pool of selenium and is maximised at a selenium concentration in plasma of about 110 µg/L or an intake of selenomethionine at about 1.2 µg/kg body weight in adults. In Finland, with an estimated selenium intake of 88 µg/day in men and 68 µg/day in women, the average selenium concentration in plasma is about 110 µg/L. Imported wheat from selenium rich areas is an important dietary source in Norway. Dietary intakes in the Nordic and Baltic area vary from 39 to 88 µg/day in men and 22 to 68 µg/day in women, the highest levels were from Finland. Most intervention trials on the effect of selenium supplementation on health outcomes have been carried out in 'selenium-replete'-populations and show no beneficial effect, which from a nutritional point of view would rather not be expected. Some intervention studies conducted in populations low in selenium have showed a beneficial effect. Observational studies suggest an inverse relationship between selenium status and risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), cancer and all-cause mortality, and some other outcomes at low levels of intake (<55 µg/day) or in plasma or serum (<100 µg/L). However, a lack of quantitative data and inconsistencies between studies precludes these studies to be used to derive dietary reference values. At high intakes above 330 to 450 µg/day selenium may cause toxic effects affecting liver, peripheral nerves, skin, nails, and hair. An upper tolerable level (UL) of 255 µg selenium/day in adults was established by EFSA."

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulatory factors in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Here, we found that the lncRNA SLC7A11-AS1 was highly expressed in MM. Therefore, we investigated its regulatory role in the migration and invasion of MM cells and the associated mechanism. SLC7A11-AS1 and CTCF levels in MM cell lines were detected using RT-qPCR and western blotting, and their regulatory effects on the migratory and invasive abilities were determined using CCK-8, EdU, transwell, wound-healing assays and mouse model. RNA pull-down and RIP assays were performed to explore the association of SLC7A11-AS1 and CTCF and the correlation between CTCF and UBE3A. SLC7A11-AS1 and CTCF were highly expressed in MM cells. The knockdown of SLC7A11-AS1 decreased the expression of CTCF. Mechanistically, SLC7A11-AS1 inhibited the degradation of CTCF by inhibiting the ubiquitination by UBE3A. The knockdown of both SLC7A11-AS1 and CTCF inhibited the migration and invasion of MM cells and attenuated MM-to-lung metastasis in a mouse model. Taken together, SLC7A11-AS1 promoted the invasive and migratory abilities of MM cells by inhibiting the UBE3A-regulated ubiquitination of CTCF. Therefore, SLC7A11-AS1 may be a potential therapeutic target for MM."

Cellular retinoic acid-binding protein 2 (CRABP2) is a controversial factor in the occurrence and development of human tumors. However, there is limited research on the relationship between CRABP2 and immunotherapy response. This study found that negative correlations of CRABP2 and immune checkpoint markers (PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4) were observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) and testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT). In particular, in SKCM patients who were treated with PD-1 inhibitors, high levels of CRABP2 predicted poor prognosis. Additionally, CRABP2 expression was elevated in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) at the single-cell level. The expression of CRABP2 was positively correlated with markers of CAFs, such as MFAP5, PDPN, ITGA11, PDGFRα/β and THY1 in SKCM. To validate the tumor-promoting effect of CRABP2 "

Absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2), a constituent of the interferon-inducible hematopoietic interferon-inducible nuclear antigens with 200 amino acid repeats protein family, contributes to both cancer progression and inflammasome activation. Despite this understanding, the precise biological functions and molecular mechanisms governed by AIM2 in CRC remain elusive. Consequently, this study endeavors to assess AIM2's expression levels, explore its potential antitumor effects, elucidate associated cancer-related processes, and decipher the underlying signaling pathways in CRC. Our findings showed a reduced AIM2 expression in most CRC cell lines. Elevation of AIM2 levels suppressed CRC cell proliferation and migration, altered cell cycle by inhibiting G1/S transition, and induced cell apoptosis. Further research uncovered the participation of P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (P38MAPK) in AIM2-mediated modulation of CRC cell apoptosis and proliferation. Altogether, our achievements distinctly underscored AIM2's antitumor role in CRC. AIM2 overexpression inhibited proliferation and migration and induced apoptosis of CRC cells via activating P38MAPK signaling pathway, indicating AIM2 as a prospective and novel therapeutic target for CRC."

Photoprotection can help reduce ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced skin damage and skin cancer. This study aims to assess the knowledge about and attitude toward the use of sun protection to prevent laser adverse events among the general population in Saudi Arabia. Methodology This is a cross-sectional, analytical, community-based study carried out among the general population (sunscreen users) in Saudi Arabia. A total of 600 participants were enrolled in the study. Data were collected using a validated online self-administered questionnaire using Google Forms. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 21.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). Results A total of 600 sunscreen users were enrolled in this study, with an overall poor knowledge rate of 471 (78.5%) regarding the use of sun protection methods. Their ages ranged from 18 years to >55 years. The majority of them were females (537, 89.5%), had Saudi Nationality (533, 88.8%), and had skin type III (313, 52.2%). Almost all the participants (491, 81.9%) had undergone laser treatment before; the most reported reason was hair removal (522, 87%).

Observation of the skin paddle and Doppler ultrasound are methods that are usually used to monitor DCIA flaps after mandibular reconstruction surgery. The aim of this study was to introduce a novel DCIA flap with a perforator-supported external oblique abdominal muscle (EOAM) island for postoperative flap monitoring. This study included five patients who underwent mandibular reconstruction using this modified technique. The DCIA flap and the EOAM island supplied by the ascending branch of the DCIA were harvested during the surgery. After mandibular reconstruction, the EOAM island was placed in the submandibular region to monitor the blood supply to the DCIA flap after surgery. The blood supply to the DCIA flap was monitored by observing the colour, texture, and bleeding condition of the EOAM island. After the monitoring period, the EOAM was removed and the ascending branch of the DCIA was ligated. The outcome was successful in all patients. The EOAM island supported by the ascending branch of the DCIA is reliable and safe, thus providing a robust option to monitor the blood supply to the DCIA flap."

However, the precise molecular events driving the transformation from benign to malignant melanoma are not well-understood. We used laser microdissection and mass spectrometry to analyze the proteomes of melanoma subtypes, including superficial spreading melanomas (n = 17), nodular melanomas (n = 17), and acral melanomas (n = 15). Furthermore, we compared the proteomes of nevi cells with those of melanoma cells within the same specimens (nevus-associated melanoma (n = 14)). In total, we quantified 7935 proteins. Despite the genomic and clinical differences of the melanoma subtypes, our analysis revealed relatively similar proteomes, except for the upregulation of proteins involved in immune activation in nodular melanomas versus acral melanomas. Examining nevus-associated melanoma versus nevi, we found 1725 differentially expressed proteins (false discovery rate < 0.05). Among these proteins were 140 that overlapped with cancer hallmarks, tumor suppressors, and regulators of metabolism and cell cycle. Pathway analysis indicated aberrant activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase-protein kinase B-mTOR pathways and the Hippo-YAP pathway. Using a classifier, we identified six proteins capable of distinguishing melanoma from nevi samples. Our study represents a comprehensive comparative analysis of the proteome in melanoma subtypes and associated nevi, offering insights into the biological behavior of these distinct entities."

+9070,skin cancer,38184511,Arsenic-induced prostate cancer: an enigma.,"Arsenic exhibits varying degrees of toxicity depending on its many chemical forms. The carcinogenic properties of arsenic have already been established. However, the precise processes underlying the development of diseases following acute or chronic exposure to arsenic remain poorly known. Most of the existing investigation has focused on studying the occurrence of cancer following significant exposure to elevated levels of arsenic. Nevertheless, multiple investigations have documented diverse health consequences from prolonged exposure to low levels of arsenic. Inorganic arsenic commonly causes lung, bladder, and skin cancer. Some investigations have shown an association between arsenic in drinking water and prostate cancer, but few investigations have focused on exploring this connection. There is currently a lack of relevant animal models demonstrating a clear link between inorganic arsenic exposure and the development of prostate cancer. Nevertheless, studies using cellular model systems have demonstrated that arsenic can potentially promote the malignant transformation of human prostate epithelial cells in vitro. The administration of elevated levels of arsenic has been demonstrated to elicit cell death in instances of acute experimental exposure. Conversely, in cases of chronic exposure, arsenic prompts cellular proliferation and sustains cellular viability, thereby circumventing the constraints imposed by telomere shortening and apoptosis. Furthermore, cells consistently exposed to the stimulus exhibit an augmented ability to invade surrounding tissues and an enhanced potential to form tumors. This review aims to portray mechanistic insights into arsenic-induced prostate cancer."

Here, we report a mechanistically distinct nuclear function of iRhoms, showing that both human and mouse iRhom2 are non-canonical substrates of signal peptidase complex (SPC), the protease that removes signal peptides from secreted proteins. Cleavage of iRhom2 generates an N-terminal fragment that enters the nucleus and modifies the transcriptome, in part by binding C-terminal binding proteins (CtBPs). The biological significance of nuclear iRhom2 is indicated by elevated levels in skin biopsies of patients with psoriasis, tylosis with oesophageal cancer (TOC), and non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (NEPPK); increased iRhom2 cleavage in a keratinocyte model of psoriasis; and nuclear iRhom2 promoting proliferation of keratinocytes.

Various studies have proposed the positive role of calcium and its receptor in skin wound healing. Furthermore, Cinacalcet interacts with other skin repair-related mechanisms, including inflammation and nitric oxide pathways. The present study evaluated the effect of Cinacalcet on the random-pattern skin flap survival. Eighty-four Wistar male rats were used. Multiple doses of Cinacalcet (30, 3, 1, 0.3, and 0.05 mg/kg) were used in 3 different routes of administration before the surgery. Histopathological evaluations, quantitative assessment of IL-6, TNF-α, and nitric oxide (NO), and the expression of calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) and E-cadherin were evaluated in the skin tissue. To assess the role of NO, a NO synthase inhibitor, N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME), was used, and histopathological effects were investigated. Cinacalcet pretreatment at the IP chronic 1 mg/kg dose significantly increased the skin flap survival rate and enhanced the NO tissue level compared to the control. However, the administration of L-NAME abolished its protective effects. IP Chronic 1 mg/kg of Cinacalcet could also decline the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α and also increase the expression of CaSR and E-cadherin in the flap tissue compared with the control group. Chronic Cinacalcet at 1 mg/kg could improve skin flap survival, probably mediated by the CaSR, NO, and inflammation-related pathways."

We are aimed to investigate the clinical and prognostic characteristics of AML patients exhibiting BPDCN-like immunophenotype and provide additional insights for risk stratification of AML. A total of 241 newly diagnosed AML patients were enrolled in this retrospective study and categorized into BPDCN-like positive (n = 125)/negative (n = 116) groups, determined by the present with CD123+ along with either CD56+ or CD4+, or both. Subsequently, an analysis was conducted to examine the general clinical characteristics, genetic profiles, and prognosis of the two respective groups. Patients with BPDCN-like immunophenotype manifested higher frequencies of acute myelomonocytic leukemia and acute monoblastic leukemia. Surprisingly, the presence of the BPDCN-like immunophenotype exhibited an inverse relationship with CEBPA bZIP mutation. Notably, patients with BPDCN-like phenotype had both worse OS and EFS compared to those without BPDCN-like phenotype. In the CN-AML subgroups, the BPDCN-like phenotype was associated with worse EFS. Similarly, a statistically significant disparity was observed in both OS and EFS within the favorable-risk subgroup, while only OS was significant within the adverse-risk subgrouMoreover, patients possessing favorable-risk genetics without BPDCN-like phenotype had the longest survival, whereas those who had both adverse-risk genetics and BPDCN-like phenotype exhibited the worst survival. Our study indicated that BPDCN-like phenotype negatively associated with CEBPA bZIP mutation and revealed a significantly poor prognosis in AML. Moreover, the 2022 ELN classification, in combination with the BPDCN-like phenotype, may better distinguish between different risk groups."

It is recently shown that cyanine dyes act as molecular jackhammers (MJH) through vibronic (vibrational and electronic mode coupling) driven activation that causes the molecule to stretch longitudinally and axially through concerted whole molecule vibrations. However, the theoretical and experimental underpinnings of these plasmon-driven motions in molecules are difficult to assess. Here the use of near-infrared (NIR) light-activated plasmons in a broad array of MJH that mechanically disassemble membranes and cytoskeletons in human melanoma A375 cells is described. The characteristics of plasmon-driven molecular mechanical disassembly of supramolecular biological structures are observed and recorded using real-time fluorescence confocal microscopy. Molecular plasmon resonances in MJH are quantified through a new experimental plasmonicity index method. This is done through the measurement of the UV-vis-NIR spectra in various solvents, and quantification of the optical response as a function of the solvent polarity. Structure-activity relationships are used to optimize the synthesis of plasmon-driven MJH, applying them to eradicate human melanoma A375 cells at low lethal concentrations of 75 nm and 80 mW cm"
+9082,skin cancer,38183207,Systematic analysis of the transcriptional landscape of melanoma reveals drug-target expression plasticity.,"Metastatic melanoma originates from melanocytes of the skin. Melanoma metastasis results in poor treatment prognosis for patients and is associated with epigenetic and transcriptional changes that reflect the developmental program of melanocyte differentiation from neural crest stem cells. Several studies have explored melanoma transcriptional heterogeneity using microarray, bulk and single-cell RNA-sequencing technologies to derive data-driven models of the transcriptional-state change which occurs during melanoma progression. No study has systematically examined how different models of melanoma progression derived from different data types, technologies and biological conditions compare. Here, we perform a cross-sectional study to identify averaging effects of bulk-based studies that mask and distort apparent melanoma transcriptional heterogeneity; we describe new transcriptionally distinct melanoma cell states, identify differential co-expression of genes between studies and examine the effects of predicted drug susceptibilities of different cell states between studies. Importantly, we observe considerable variability in drug-target gene expression between studies, indicating potential transcriptional plasticity of melanoma to down-regulate these drug targets and thereby circumvent treatment. Overall, observed differences in gene co-expression and predicted drug susceptibility between studies suggest bulk-based transcriptional measurements do not reliably gauge heterogeneity and that melanoma transcriptional plasticity is greater than described when studies are considered in isolation."
+9083,skin cancer,38183141,Refining mutanome-based individualised immunotherapy of melanoma using artificial intelligence.,"Using the particular nature of melanoma mutanomes to develop medicines that activate the immune system against specific mutations is a game changer in immunotherapy individualisation. It offers a viable solution to the recent rise in resistance to accessible immunotherapy alternatives, with some patients demonstrating innate resistance to these drugs despite past sensitisation to these agents. However, various obstacles stand in the way of this method, most notably the practicality of sequencing each patient's mutanome, selecting immunotherapy targets, and manufacturing specific medications on a large scale. With the robustness and advancement in research techniques, artificial intelligence (AI) is a potential tool that can help refine the mutanome-based immunotherapy for melanoma. Mutanome-based techniques are being employed in the development of immune-stimulating vaccines, improving current options such as adoptive cell treatment, and simplifying immunotherapy responses. Although the use of AI in these approaches is limited by data paucity, cost implications, flaws in AI inference capabilities, and the incapacity of AI to apply data to a broad population, its potential for improving immunotherapy is limitless. Thus, in-depth research on how AI might help the individualisation of immunotherapy utilising knowledge of mutanomes is critical, and this should be at the forefront of melanoma management."

Here, we took a different approach by disrupting YAP's binding to the transcription factor B-MYB using MY-COMP, a fragment of B-MYB containing the YAP binding domain fused to a nuclear localization signal. MY-COMP induced cell cycle defects, nuclear abnormalities, and polyploidization. In an AKT and YAP-driven liver cancer model, MY-COMP significantly reduced liver tumorigenesis, highlighting the importance of the YAP-B-MYB interaction in tumor development. MY-COMP also perturbed the cell cycle progression of YAP-dependent uveal melanoma cells but not of YAP-independent cutaneous melanoma cell lines. It counteracted YAP-dependent expression of MMB-regulated cell cycle genes, explaining the observed effects. We also identified NIMA-related kinase (NEK2) as a downstream target of YAP and B-MYB, promoting YAP-driven transformation by facilitating centrosome clustering and inhibiting multipolar mitosis."

Understanding the mechanisms underlying hair graying is an ideal approach for developing interventions to prevent or reverse age-related changes in regenerative tissues. Hair graying induced by ionizing radiation (γ-rays or X-rays) has emerged as a valuable experimental model to investigate the molecular pathways involved in this process. In this review, we examine the existing evidence on radiation-induced hair graying, with a particular focus on the potential role of radiation-induced cellular senescence. We explore the current understanding of hair graying in aging, delve into the underlying mechanisms, and highlight the unique advantages of using ionizing-irradiation-induced hair graying as a research model.

This study aims to provide a new feature fusion framework for melanoma classification that includes a novel 'F' Flag feature for early detection. This novel 'F' indicator efficiently distinguishes benign skin lesions from malignant ones known as melanoma. The article proposes an architecture that is built in a Double Decker Convolutional Neural Network called DDCNN future fusion. The network's deck one, known as a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), finds difficult-to-classify hairy images using a confidence factor termed the intra-class variance score. These hirsute image samples are combined to form a Baseline Separated Channel (BSC). By eliminating hair and using data augmentation techniques, the BSC is ready for analysis. The network's second deck trains the pre-processed BSC and generates bottleneck features. The bottleneck features are merged with features generated from the ABCDE clinical bio indicators to promote classification accuracy. Different types of classifiers are fed to the resulting hybrid fused features with the novel 'F' Flag feature. The proposed system was trained using the ISIC 2019 and ISIC 2020 datasets to assess its performance. The empirical findings expose that the DDCNN feature fusion strategy for exposing malignant melanoma achieved a specificity of 98.4%, accuracy of 93.75%, precision of 98.56%, and Area Under Curve (AUC) value of 0.98. This study proposes a novel approach that can accurately identify and diagnose fatal skin cancer and outperform other state-of-the-art techniques, which is attributed to the DDCNN 'F' Feature fusion framework. Also, this research ascertained improvements in several classifiers when utilising the 'F' indicator, resulting in the highest specificity of + 7.34%."

For this reason, various systems of skin lesion image analysis, which support imaging diagnostics of this neoplasm, are developing very dynamically. To detect and recognize neoplastic lesions, such systems use various artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. This area of computer science applications has recently undergone dynamic development, abounding in several solutions that are effective tools supporting diagnosticians in many medical specialties. In this contribution, a number of applications of different classes of AI algorithms for the detection of this skin melanoma are presented and evaluated. Both classic systems based on the analysis of dermatoscopic images as well as total body systems, enabling the analysis of the patient's whole body to detect moles and pathologic changes, are discussed. These increasingly popular applications that allow the analysis of lesion images using smartphones are also described. The quantitative evaluation of the discussed systems with particular emphasis on the method of validation of the implemented algorithms is presented. The advantages and limitations of AI in the analysis of lesion images are also discussed, and problems requiring a solution for more effective use of AI in dermatology are identified."

+9096,skin cancer,38181781,CRISPR/Cas9 deletion of MIR155HG in human T cells reduces incidence and severity of acute GVHD in a xenogeneic model.,"Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major complication of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Using preclinical mouse models of disease, previous work in our laboratory has linked microRNA-155 (miR-155) to the development of acute GVHD. Transplantation of donor T cells from miR-155 host gene (MIR155HG) knockout mice prevented acute GVHD in multiple murine models of disease while maintaining critical graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) response, necessary for relapse prevention. In this study, we used clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 genome editing to delete miR-155 in primary T cells (MIR155HGΔexon3) from human donors, resulting in stable and sustained reduction in expression of miR-155. Using the xenogeneic model of acute GVHD, we show that NOD/SCID/IL2rγnull (NSG) mice receiving MIR155HGΔexon3 human T cells provide protection from lethal acute GVHD compared with mice that received human T cells with intact miR-155. MIR155HGΔexon3 human T cells persist in the recipients displaying decreased proliferation potential, reduced pathogenic T helper-1 cell population, and infiltration into GVHD target organs, such as the liver and skin. Importantly, MIR155HGΔexon3 human T cells retain GVL response significantly improving survival in an in vivo model of xeno-GVL. Altogether, we show that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deletion of MIR155HG in primary human donor T cells is an innovative approach to generate allogeneic donor T cells that provide protection from lethal GVHD while maintaining robust antileukemic response."
+9097,skin cancer,38181776,[Diagnosis and therapy of sinonasal mucosal melanoma].,"Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is a rare and aggressive disease representing only 4% of all sinonasal malignancies and 1.4% of all melanomas. With an incidence of approximately 0.2 to 2 cases per million, the disease represents a very rare cancer type. As a result, there is a lack of data and most of the evidence for this highly aggressive disease is based on retrospective observations and analyses. The standard of care is radical tumor resection followed by an adjuvant radiotherapy. Nevertheless, the rate of local recurrence is high, up to 50%. In addition, the majority of patients (up to 70%) develop distant metastases during the course of their disease. Both contribute to the extremely poor prognosis of the disease. Mucosal melanomas (SM) and cutaneous melanomas (CM) behave differently with respect to biology, clinic presentation and prognosis. Compared to CM, survival rates are significantly lower for SM. The 5-year survival rate is around 25% in SNMM but 39-97% in cutaneous melanoma. Similar to CM, immune checkpoint inhibitors achieve promising results in SM. However, response rates are lower in SM compared to CM. The goal of this CME article is to provide an overview on biology, diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis of SNMM."
+9098,skin cancer,38181739,A TCF4-dependent gene regulatory network confers resistance to immunotherapy in melanoma.,"To better understand intrinsic resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), we established a comprehensive view of the cellular architecture of the treatment-naive melanoma ecosystem and studied its evolution under ICB. Using single-cell, spatial multi-omics, we showed that the tumor microenvironment promotes the emergence of a complex melanoma transcriptomic landscape. Melanoma cells harboring a mesenchymal-like (MES) state, a population known to confer resistance to targeted therapy, were significantly enriched in early on-treatment biopsies from non-responders to ICB. TCF4 serves as the hub of this landscape by being a master regulator of the MES signature and a suppressor of the melanocytic and antigen presentation transcriptional programs. Targeting TCF4 genetically or pharmacologically, using a bromodomain inhibitor, increased immunogenicity and sensitivity of MES cells to ICB and targeted therapy. We thereby uncovered a TCF4-dependent regulatory network that orchestrates multiple transcriptional programs and contributes to resistance to both targeted therapy and ICB in melanoma."

Follow-up was available for all 10 patients (median 19 months, range 1-183). Nine patients had no evidence of disease; one patient died of disease (13.5 months) after presenting with a nodal metastasis. One case was exceptional, because the patient presented with a pigmented lesion that histopathologically exhibited co-existence of melanoma in situ and Paget disease, a challenging differential diagnosis due to immunohistochemical pitfalls in distinction between melanoma in situ and the pigmented variant of mammary Paget disease.

Although clinically asymptomatic, they are usually detected during routine breast screenings. The common symptoms include breast lumps, skin or nipple changes, and nipple discharge. Histopathologically, IMPCs are characterized by tumor cells forming small papillary-like structures inside the glandular spaces, and arranged in an inverted pattern, with their apex pointing toward the center of the gland. This unique morphological feature is critical for diagnosing these cases. Another notable characteristic is its high propensity for lymph node metastasis (LNM). While the precise mechanism of metastasis is not clear, unique cellular arrangement and cellular interactions with the surrounding environment might promote tumorigenesis and higher node positivity. Hence, proper lymph node dissection and assessment are particularly crucial for this type of breast cancer. This review aims to discuss the recent progress in managing IMPC cases."

Mycosis fungoides is one of the side effects of all-trans-retinoicacid treatment, but it may also be a clinical manifestation before disease progression. However, it rarely appears and is easily overlooked. This leads to being easily misled during the treatment process, affecting the treatment plan, and resulting in adverse consequences.

Scientific researchers have gained considerable progress in the relationship between immunotherapy and tumor burden in recent years. This review aimed to explore the prospect and developing trends in the field of tumor burden and immunotherapy from a bibliometric perspective. Articles about tumor burden and immunotherapy were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) (retrieved on 3 January 2023). The R package 'Bibliometrix' analyzed the primary bibliometric features and created a three-filed plot to display the relationship between institutions, countries, and keywords. VOSviewer was used for co-authorship analysis, co-occurrence analysis, and their visualization. And CiteSpace calculated the citation burst references and keywords. A total of 1030 publications were retrieved from 35 years of scientific researches. The United States (US) and China published the most articles. The most productive journals were Cancer Immunology Immunotherapy and Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer . The top one institution of the highest output was University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The hot keywords of strong citation burst strength in recent years were 'nivolumab', 'tumor microenvironment', and 'immune checkpoint inhibitor'. The most popular tumor type is melanoma. This bibliometric analysis mapped a basic knowledge structure. The field of tumor burden and immunotherapy is entering a rapid growing stage and keeping it value for future research."
+9104,skin cancer,38181115,Evaluating the efficacy of combination and single-agent immunotherapies in real-world patterns of disease progression and survival of metastatic melanoma patients.,"The objective of this study is to describe survival outcomes in patients with metastatic melanoma in a real-world setting receiving combination and single-agent immunotherapy outside the clinical trial context. We conducted a retrospective single-institution study of patients with metastatic melanoma in a real-world setting. Survival was calculated using log-rank test. Contingency tables were analyzed using Fisher's Exact test. CD8 + T-cell densities were measured using quantitative immunofluorescence and analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test. The median overall survival (OS) for 132 patients was 45.3 months. Brain metastasis did not confer a higher risk of death relative to liver and/or bone disease (39.53 versus 30.00 months, respectively; P  = 0.687). Anti-PD-1 monotherapy was the most common first-line treatment, received by 49.2% of patients. There was no significant difference in OS between patients receiving single-agent anti-PD-1 and combination anti-PD-1 plus CTLA-4 (39.4 months versus undefined; P  = 0.643). Patients treated with combination therapy were more likely to be alive without progression at the last follow-up than those who received monotherapy (70.4% versus 49.2%; P  = 0.0408). Median OS was 21.8 months after initiation of second-line therapy after anti-PD-1 monotherapy. CD8+ T-cell densities were higher in patients who achieved disease control on first-line immunotherapy ( P  = 0.013). In a real-world setting, patients with metastatic melanoma have excellent survival rates, and treatment benefit can be achieved even after progression on first-line therapy. Combination immunotherapy may produce more favorable long-term outcomes in a real-world setting. High pretreatment CD8+ T-cell infiltration correlates with immunotherapy efficacy."

+9113,skin cancer,38178667,"Overcoming Skin Barrier with Transfersomes: Opportunities, Challenges, and Applications.","Transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS) offer several advantages over traditional methods like injections and oral administration, including preventing first-pass metabolism, providing consistent and sustained activity, reducing side effects, enabling the use of short halflife drugs, improving physiological response, and enhancing patient convenience. However, the permeability of skin poses a challenge for TDDS, as it is impermeable to large molecules and hydrophilic drugs but permeable to small molecules and lipophilic medications. To overcome this barrier, researchers have investigated vesicular systems, such as transfersomes, liposomes, niosomes, and ethosomes. Among these vesicular systems, transfersomes are particularly promising for non-invasive drug administration due to their deformability and flexible membrane. They have been extensively studied for delivering anticancer drugs, insulin, corticosteroids, herbal medicines, and NSAIDs through the skin. Transfersomes have demonstrated efficacy in treating skin cancer, improving insulin delivery, enhancing site-specific corticosteroid delivery, and increasing the permeation and therapeutic effects of herbal medicines. They have also been effective in delivering pain relief with minimal side effects using NSAIDs and opioids. Transfersomes have been used for transdermal immunization and targeted drug delivery, offering site-specific release and minimizing adverse effects. Overall, transfersomes are a promising approach for transdermal drug delivery in various therapeutic applications."

+9117,skin cancer,38177205,The mitochondrial DNA common deletion as a potential biomarker of cancer-associated fibroblasts from skin basal and squamous cell carcinomas.,"Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are components of the tumor microenvironment and represent appealing therapeutic targets for translational studies. Conventional protein-based biomarkers for CAFs have been reported to be limited in their specificity, rendering difficult the identification of CAFs from normal fibroblasts (NFs) in clinical samples and dampening the development of CAF-targeted therapies to treat cancer. In this study, we propose the mitochondrial RNA and the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) common deletion (CD) as novel indicators of CAF identity. We found that cancer-activation correlated with decreased levels of the mtDNA CD, a condition not due to altered mitochondria count or cellular redox state, but potentially linked to the generalized overexpression of mtDNA maintenance genes in CAFs. Decreased mtDNA CD content in CAFs was associated with moderate to strong overexpression of mtDNA-encoded genes and to slightly improved mitochondrial function. We identified similar patterns of upregulation of mtDNA-encoded genes in independent single-cell RNA seq data obtained from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) patients. By using the identified nucleic acids-based indicators, identification of CAFs from NFs could be improved, leading to potential therapeutic benefits in advancing translational and clinical studies."
+9118,skin cancer,38177192,An N-glycome tissue atlas of 15 human normal and cancer tissue types determined by MALDI-imaging mass spectrometry.,"N-glycosylation is an abundant post-translational modification of most cell-surface proteins. N-glycans play a crucial role in cellular functions like protein folding, protein localization, cell-cell signaling, and immune detection. As different tissue types display different N-glycan profiles, changes in N-glycan compositions occur in tissue-specific ways with development of disease, like cancer. However, no comparative atlas resource exists for documenting N-glycome alterations across various human tissue types, particularly comparing normal and cancerous tissues. In order to study a broad range of human tissue N-glycomes, N-glycan targeted MALDI imaging mass spectrometry was applied to custom formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue microarrays. These encompassed fifteen human tissue types including bladder, breast, cervix, colon, esophagus, gastric, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, prostate, sarcoma, skin, thyroid, and uterus. Each array contained both normal and tumor cores from the same pathology block, selected by a pathologist, allowing more in-depth comparisons of the N-glycome differences between tumor and normal and across tissue types. Using established MALDI-IMS workflows and existing N-glycan databases, the N-glycans present in each tissue core were spatially profiled and peak intensity data compiled for comparative analyses. Further structural information was determined for core fucosylation using endoglycosidase F3, and differentiation of sialic acid linkages through stabilization chemistry. Glycan structural differences across the tissue types were compared for oligomannose levels, branching complexity, presence of bisecting N-acetylglucosamine, fucosylation, and sialylation. Collectively, our research identified the N-glycans that were significantly increased and/or decreased in relative abundance in cancer for each tissue type. This study offers valuable information on a wide scale for both normal and cancerous tissues, serving as a reference for future studies and potential diagnostic applications of MALDI-IMS."

Here, we report the molecular characteristics of tumor evolution during disease progression along a 9-year clinical course in a patient with advanced disseminated melanoma who received different treatments, including trametinib, ipilimumab, radiation, vemurafenib, surgical tumor debulking and a second ipilimumab course, ultimately achieving complete long-term disease remission.Longitudinal analyses of therapies-resistant metastatic tumors revealed the effects of different treatments on tumor's microenvironment and immunogenicity, ultimately creating a milieu favorable to immunotherapy response. Monitoring of the temporal dynamics of T cells by analysis of the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire in the tumor and peripheral blood during disease evolution indicated that T-cell clones with common TCR rearrangements, present at low levels at baseline, were maintained and expanded after immunotherapy, and that TCR diversity increased. Analysis of genetic, molecular, and cellular components of the tumor depicted a multistep process in which treatment with kinase inhibitors strongly conditioned the immune microenvironment creating an inflamed milieu converting cold into hot tumors, while ipilimumab impacted and increased the TCR repertoire, a requirement for tumor rejection.Since the optimal sequencing of treatment with antibodies targeting immune checkpoints and kinase inhibitors for advanced melanoma is still clinically debated, this case indicates that immunotherapy success is possible even after progression on targeted therapy."

+9124,skin cancer,38176212,LeaNet: Lightweight U-shaped architecture for high-performance skin cancer image segmentation.,"Skin cancer diagnosis often relies on image segmentation as a crucial aid, and a high-performance segmentation can lower misdiagnosis risks. Part of the medical devices often have limited computing power for deploying image segmentation algorithms. However, existing high-performance algorithms for image segmentation primarily rely on computationally intensive large models, making it challenging to meet the lightweight deployment requirement of medical devices. State-of-the-art lightweight models are not able to capture both local and global feature information of lesion edges due to their model structures, result in pixel loss of lesion edge. To tackle this problem, we propose LeaNet, a novel U-shaped network for high-performance yet lightweight skin cancer image segmentation. Specifically, LeaNet employs multiple attention blocks in a lightweight symmetric U-shaped design. Each blocks contains a dilated efficient channel attention (DECA) module for global and local contour information and an inverted external attention (IEA) module to improve information correlation between data samples. Additionally, LeaNet uses an attention bridge (AB) module to connect the left and right sides of the U-shaped architecture, thereby enhancing the model's multi-level feature extraction capability. We tested our model on ISIC2017 and ISIC2018 datasets. Compared with large models like ResUNet, LeaNet improved the ACC, SEN, and SPEC metrics by 1.09 %, 2.58 %, and 1.6 %, respectively, while reducing the model's parameter number and computational complexity by 570x and 1182x. Compared with lightweight models like MALUNet, LeaNet achieved improvements of 2.07 %, 4.26 %, and 3.11 % in ACC, SEN, and SPEC, respectively, reducing the parameter number and computational complexity by 1.54x and 1.04x."

Individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) may develop thousands of cNFs, which greatly affect their quality of life. cNF growth is driven by the proliferation of NF1-/- SCs and their interaction with the NF1+/- microenvironment. We analyzed the crosstalk between human cNF-derived SCs and fibroblasts (FBs), identifying an expression signature specific to the SC-FB interaction. We validated the secretion of proteins involved in immune cell migration, suggesting a role of SC-FB crosstalk in immune cell recruitment. The signature also captured components of developmental signaling pathways, including the cAMP elevator G protein-coupled receptor 68 (GPR68). Activation of Gpr68 by ogerin in combination with the MEK inhibitor (MEKi) selumetinib reduced viability and induced differentiation and death of human cNF-derived primary SCs, a result corroborated using an induced pluripotent stem cell-derived 3D neurofibromasphere model. Similar results were obtained using other Gpr68 activators or cAMP analogs/adenylyl cyclase activators in combination with selumetinib. Interestingly, whereas primary SC cultures restarted their proliferation after treatment with selumetinib alone was stopped, the combination of ogerin-selumetinib elicited a permanent halt on SC expansion that persisted after drug removal. These results indicate that unbalancing the Ras and cAMP pathways by combining MEKi and cAMP elevators could be used as a potential treatment for cNFs."

+9131,skin cancer,38175436,Two cases of mycosis fungoides with large cell transformation with KMT2A rearrangements.,"Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are a clinically and molecularly heterogeneous class of lymphomas of the skin-homing T cell, and their genetic profiles are not fully characterized. Previously, rearrangements of the Lysine Methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A) gene have been identified as driver mutations only in acute leukemias. KMT2A plays a role in epigenetic regulation, and cancers with such rearrangements are responsive to epigenetic therapy including hypomethylating agents. Here, we report two cases of CTCL with novel genetic profiles. KMT2A rearrangements were identified in two aggressive cases of mycosis fungoides with large cell transformation. A KMT2A::DSCAML1 gene rearrangement was seen in Case 1, while a KMT2A::MAPRE1 fusion was identified in Case 2. These cases demonstrate that KMT2A rearrangements can be found in primary CTCLs rather than solely acute leukemias, illustrating the importance of correlating molecular findings with clinical and histologic features in diagnosis. Additionally, this finding suggests that the subset of CTCLs driven by aberrancy of the KMT2A pathway may be responsive to therapy with hypomethylating agents or menin inhibitors, as seen in acute leukemias."

FMT has become a breakthrough in enhancing the response rate to immunotherapy in cancer patients by altering the composition of the patient's gut microbiota. This review discusses the mechanisms of faecal microorganism effects on tumour development, drug treatment efficacy, and adverse effects and describes the recent clinical research trials on FMT. Moreover, the factors influencing the efficacy and safety of FMT are described. We summarise the possibilities of faecal transplantation in the treatment of tumours and its complications and propose directions to explore the development of FMT."

Breast tissue biomechanical properties have been poorly studied in vivo, although they are important for breast deformation simulation. The main objective of our study was to determine breast skin thickness and breast skin and adipose/fibroglandular tissue stiffness. The secondary objective was to assess clinical predictors of elasticity and thickness: age, smoking status, body mass index, contraception, pregnancies, breastfeeding, menopausal status, history of radiotherapy or breast surgery. Participants were included at the Montpellier University Breast Surgery Department from March to May 2022. Breast skin thickness was measured by ultrasonography, breast skin and adipose/fibroglandular tissue stiffnesses were determined with a VLASTIC non-invasive aspiration device at three different sites (breast segments I-III). Multivariable linear models were used to assess clinical predictors of elasticity and thickness. In this cohort of 196 women, the mean breast skin and adipose/fibroglandular tissue stiffness values were 39 and 3 kPa, respectively. The mean breast skin thickness was 1.83 mm. Only menopausal status was significantly correlated with breast skin thickness and adipose/fibroglandular tissue stiffness. The next step will be to implement these stiffness and thickness values in a biomechanical breast model and to evaluate its capacity to predict breast tissue deformations."

+9149,skin cancer,38174318,Experimental and phylogenetic evidence for correlated gene expression evolution in endometrial and skin fibroblasts.,"Gene expression change is a dominant mode of evolution. Mutations, however, can affect gene expression in multiple cell types. Therefore, gene expression evolution in one cell type can lead to similar gene expression changes in another cell type. Here, we test this hypothesis by investigating dermal skin fibroblasts (SFs) and uterine endometrial stromal fibroblasts (ESFs). The comparative dataset consists of transcriptomes from cultured SF and ESF of nine mammalian species. We find that evolutionary changes in gene expression in SF and ESF are highly correlated. The experimental dataset derives from a SCID mouse strain selected for slow cancer growth leading to substantial gene expression changes in SFs. We compared the gene expression profiles of SF with that of ESF and found a significant correlation between them. We discuss the implications of these findings for the evolutionary correlation between placental invasiveness and vulnerability to metastatic cancer."

+9151,skin cancer,38174054,Connecting Adaptive Perceptual Learning and Signal Detection Theory in Skin Cancer Screening.,"Combining perceptual learning techniques with adaptive learning algorithms has been shown to accelerate the development of expertise in medical and STEM learning domains (Kellman & Massey, 2013; Kellman, Jacoby, Massey & Krasne, 2022). Virtually all adaptive learning systems have relied on simple accuracy data that does not take into account response bias, a problem that may be especially consequential in multi-category perceptual classifications. We investigated whether adaptive perceptual learning in skin cancer screening can be enhanced by incorporating signal detection theory (SDT) methods that separate sensitivity from criterion. SDT-style concepts were used to alter sequencing, and separately to define mastery (category retirement). SDT retirement used a running d' estimate calculated from a recent window of trials based on hit and false alarm rates. Undergraduate participants used a Skin Cancer PALM (perceptual adaptive learning module) to learn classification of 10 cancerous and readily-confused non-cancerous skin lesion types. Four adaptive conditions varied either the type of adaptive sequencing (standard vs. SDT) or retirement criteria (standard vs. SDT). A non-adaptive control condition presented didactic instruction on dermatologic screening in video form, including images, classification schemes, and detailed explanations. All adaptive conditions robustly outperformed the non-adaptive control in both learning efficiency and fluency (large effect sizes). Between adaptive conditions, SDT retirement criteria produced greater learning efficiency than standard, accuracy-based mastery criteria at both immediate and delayed posttests (medium effect sizes). SDT sequencing and standard adaptive sequencing did not differ. SDT enhancements to adaptive perceptual learning procedures have potential to enhance learning efficiency."

Nevertheless, the recurrence of MCC post-immunotherapy emphasizes the pressing need for more effective treatments. Recent research has highlighted Cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) as pivotal cell cycle regulators gaining prominence in cancer studies. This study reveals that the CDK4/6 inhibitor, palbociclib can enhance PD-L1 gene transcription and surface expression in MCC cells by activating HIF2α. Inhibiting HIF2α with TC-S7009 effectively counteracts palbociclib-induced PD-L1 transcription and significantly intensifies cell death in MCC. Simultaneously, co-targeting CDK4/6 and HIF2α boosts ROS levels while suppressing SLC7A11, a key regulator of cellular redox balance, promoting ferroptosis- a form of immunogenic cell death linked to iron. Considering the rising importance of immunogenic cell death in immunotherapy, this strategy holds promise for improving future MCC treatments, markedly increasing immunogenic cell death various across various MCC cell lines, thus advancing cancer immunotherapy."

Following the PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted using the PubMed database. Pharmaceuticals with few studies on cancer risk were identified in systematic reviews; those with two or more studies were subjected to meta-analysis. For the meta-analysis, a random-effects model was used to calculate the summary relative risks (SRRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Heterogeneity across studies was presented using the Higgins I square value from Cochran's Q test. Among the 12 group I pharmaceuticals selected, three involved a single study [etoposide, thiotepa, and mustargen + oncovin + procarbazine + prednisone (MOPP)], seven had two or more studies [busulfan, cyclosporine, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, methoxsalen + ultraviolet (UV) radiation therapy, melphalan, and chlorambucil], and two did not have any studies [etoposide + bleomycin + cisplatin and treosulfan]. Cyclosporine and azathioprine reported increased skin cancer risk (SRR = 1.32, 95% CI 1.07-1.62; SRR = 1.56, 95% CI 1.25-1.93) compared to non-use. Cyclophosphamide increased bladder and hematologic cancer risk (SRR = 2.87, 95% CI 1.32-6.23; SRR = 2.43, 95% CI 1.65-3.58). Busulfan increased hematologic cancer risk (SRR = 6.71, 95% CI 2.49-18.08); melphalan was associated with hematologic cancer (SRR = 4.43, 95% CI 1.30-15.15). In the systematic review, methoxsalen + UV and MOPP were associated with an increased risk of skin and lung cancer, respectively. Our results can enhance persistent surveillance of group I pharmaceutical use, establish novel clinical strategies for patients with indications, and provide evidence for re-categorizing current group I pharmaceuticals into other groups."

However, oral preventive agents entail systemic exposure, causing adverse effects that limit acceptance by high-risk women. Drug-delivery through the breast skin is an attractive option, but requires demonstration of dermal safety and drug distribution throughout the breast. We formulated the tamoxifen metabolite (E/Z)-endoxifen for transdermal delivery and tested it in a placebo-controlled, double-blinded Phase I trial with dose escalation from 10 to 20 mg daily. The primary endpoint was dermal toxicity. Thirty-two women planning mastectomy were randomized (2:1) to endoxifen-gel or placebo-gel applied to both breasts for 3-5 weeks. Both doses of endoxifen-gel incurred no dermal or systemic toxicity compared to placebo. All endoxifen-treated breasts contained the drug at each of five sampling locations; the median per-person tissue concentration in the treated participants was 0.6 ng/g (IQR 0.4-1.6), significantly higher (p < 0.001) than the median plasma concentration (0.2 ng/mL, IQR 0.2-0.2). The median ratio of the more potent (Z)-isomer to (E)-isomer at each breast location was 1.50 (IQR 0.96-2.54, p < 0.05). No discernible effects of breast size or adiposity on tissue concentrations were observed. At the endoxifen doses and duration used, and the tissue concentration achieved, we observed a non-significant overall reduction of tumor proliferation (Ki67 LI) and significant downregulation of gene signatures known to promote cancer invasion (FN1, SERPINH1, PLOD2, PDGFA, ITGAV) (p = 0.03).

+9166,skin cancer,38171078,Rewiring chaperone-mediated autophagy in cancer by a prion-like chemical inducer of proximity to counteract adaptive immune resistance.,"Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), a proteolytic system contributing to the degradation of intracellular proteins in lysosomes, is upregulated in tumors for pro-tumorigenic and pro-survival purposes. In this study, bioinformatics analysis revealed the co-occurrence of upregulated CMA and PD-L1 accumulation in metastatic melanoma with adaptive immune resistance (AIR) to anti-PD1 treatment, suggesting the potential therapeutic effects of rewiring CMA for PD-L1 degradation. Furthermore, this co-occurrence is attributed to IFN-γ-mediated compensatory up-regulation of PD-L1 and CMA, accompanied by enhanced macropinocytosis. Drawing inspiration from the cellular uptake of prions via macropinocytosis, a prion-like chemical inducer of proximity called SAP was engineered using self-assembly of the designed chiral peptide PHA. By exploiting sensitized macropinocytosis, SAP clandestinely infiltrates tumor cells and subsequently disintegrates into PHA, which reprograms CMA by inducing PD-L1 close to HSPA8. SAP degrades PD-L1 in a CMA-dependent manner and effectively restores the anti-tumor immune response in both allografting and Hu-PDX melanoma mouse models with AIR while upholding a high safety profile. Collectively, the reported SAP not only presents an immune reactivation strategy with clinical translational potential for overcoming AIR in cutaneous melanomas but serves as a reproducible example of precision-medicine-guided drug development that fully leverages specific cellular indications in pathological states."

Vardict and VEP were used to identify the somatic mutations. RE events were identified by Reditools2 and filtered by the custom pipeline. miRTar2GO was implemented to predict the RE whether located in miRNA targets within the 3' UTR region. NetMHCpan and NetCTLpan were used to identify and characterize RED-neoantigens. In total, 7116 RE events were identified, most of which were A-to-I events. Using our custom pipeline, 631 RED-neoantigens were identified that show a significantly greater peptide-MHC affinity, and facilitate epitope processing and presentation than wild-type peptides. The OS of the patients with high RED-neoantigens burden was significantly longer ( P  = 0.035), and a significantly higher RED-neoantigens burden was observed in responders ( P  = 0.048). The area under the curve of the RED-neoantigen was 0.831 of OS. Then, we validated the reliability of RED-neoantigens in predicting the prognosis in an independent cohort and found that patients with high RED-neoantigens exhibited a longer OS ( P  = 0.008). To our knowledge, this is the first study to systematically assess the clinical relevance of RED-neoantigens in melanoma patients treated with immunotherapy."

Reports in the literature are rare and show that UM usually occurs as a metastasis in the setting of a known primary cutaneous melanoma. The most common mutations in UM include those involving BRAF , NRAS , and KIT , which are almost invariably present in the parent melanoma. In this study, we report a case of a primary sinonasal melanoma with metastatic UM presenting with osteoclast-like giant cells and resembling a primary bone tumor. The retention of an unusual KRAS mutation in UM that was also present in the primary lesion provided critical information for the diagnosis. Our report highlights the importance of considering mutational analysis to identify undifferentiated melanomas in patients with metastatic tumors which do not have the typical histopathologic and immunohistochemical features of melanoma."

It is typically identified by immunohistochemistry of tissue taken from tumors or through genetic testing with next-generation sequencing. Diagnosing Lynch syndrome becomes more complex when the individual is mosaic for the relevant pathogenic variant. There are very few cases of this reported in the medical literature. It is even more unusual for the diagnosis to be made based on testing of a keratoacanthoma lesion. We report a case where immunohistochemistry of a keratoacanthoma helped make a diagnosis of mosaic Lynch syndrome. We will explore how mosaicism should be considered when a phenotype is strong, even if next-generation sequencing reports no pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant and how lesions such as keratoacanthomas can have a role in the early detection and treatment of future malignancies."

In this study, we investigated the effects and possible mechanisms of yogurt on imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like inflammation in mice. After oral administration with yogurt (18 or 36 g/kg) and/or its main metabolite lactate (250 or 500 mg/kg) for 3 days, the mice were treated with a topical dose of 62.5 mg of imiquimod (IMQ) cream for seven consecutive days. Data showed that yogurt and lactate treatment significantly reduced the severity of psoriasis-like skin lesions, excessive keratinocyte proliferation, and immune cell infiltration. Mechanistically, we found that the genetic deficiency of the lactate receptor GPR81 aggravated psoriasis-like features in mice. Activation of the lactate/GPR81 axis inhibited the degradation of IκBα, prevented the nuclear translocation of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) in macrophages, and thus constrained skin inflammation. Overall, these findings suggest that yogurt consumption effectively protects against experimental psoriasis and targeting the lactate/GPR81 signaling axis could be a promising approach for psoriasis inflammation management."

Here, we report that S aureus and staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE) induce drug resistance in malignant T cells against therapeutics commonly used in CTCL. Supernatant from patient-derived, SE-producing S aureus and recombinant SE significantly inhibit cell death induced by histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor romidepsin in primary malignant T cells from patients with SS. Bacterial killing by engineered, bacteriophage-derived, S aureus-specific endolysin (XZ.700) abrogates the effect of S aureus supernatant. Similarly, mutations in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II binding sites of SE type A (SEA) and anti-SEA antibody block induction of resistance. Importantly, SE also triggers resistance to other HDAC inhibitors (vorinostat and resminostat) and chemotherapeutic drugs (doxorubicin and etoposide). Multimodal single-cell sequencing indicates T-cell receptor (TCR), NF-κB, and JAK/STAT signaling pathways (previously associated with drug resistance) as putative mediators of SE-induced drug resistance. In support, inhibition of TCR-signaling and Protein kinase C (upstream of NF-κB) counteracts SE-induced rescue from drug-induced cell death. Inversely, SE cannot rescue from cell death induced by the proteasome/NF-κB inhibitor bortezomib. Inhibition of JAK/STAT only blocks rescue in patients whose malignant T-cell survival is dependent on SE-induced cytokines, suggesting 2 distinct ways SE can induce drug resistance. In conclusion, we show that S aureus enterotoxins induce drug resistance in primary malignant T cells. These findings suggest that S aureus enterotoxins cause clinical treatment resistance in patients with SS, and antibacterial measures may improve the outcome of cancer-directed therapy in patients harboring S aureus."

This phase 2 study aimed to further investigate the efficacy and safety of combination treatment in patients with selected advanced (locally advanced or metastatic) solid malignancies. Eligible patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), melanoma, renal cell carcinoma (RCC), mesothelioma, and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) were grouped depending on prior anti-PD-1/L1 therapy (anti-PD-1/L1 naive or anti-PD-1/L1 pretreated). Patients received ieramilimab (400 mg) followed by spartalizumab (300 mg) every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR), along with safety, pharmacokinetics, and biomarker assessments. Of 235 patients, 142 were naive to anti-PD-1/L1 and 93 were pretreated with anti-PD-1/L1 antibodies. Durable responses (>24 months) were seen across all indications for patients naive to anti-PD-1/L1 and in melanoma and RCC patients pretreated with anti-PD1/L1. The most frequent study drug-related AEs were pruritus (15.5%), fatigue (10.6%), and rash (10.6%) in patients naive to anti-PD-1/L1 and fatigue (18.3%), rash (14.0%), and nausea (10.8%) in anti-PD-1/L1 pretreated patients. Biomarker assessment indicated higher expression of T-cell-inflamed gene signature at baseline among responding patients. Response to treatment was durable (>24 months) in some patients across all enrolled indications, and safety findings were in accordance with previous and current studies exploring LAG-3/PD-1 blockade."
+9179,skin cancer,38170019,The anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-37 improves the NK cell-mediated anti-tumor response.,"IL-37 is a member of the IL-1 superfamily exerting anti-inflammatory functions in a number of diseases. Extracellular IL-37 triggers the inhibitory receptor IL-1R8 that is known to regulate different NK cell pathways and functional activities including their anti-tumor effect. However, the effect of IL-37 on human NK cell functions is still to be unveiled. This study aimed to investigate the functional effect of IL-37 in human NK cells activated with IL-15. We found that IL-37 enhanced both NK cell cytotoxic activity against different tumor cell lines and cytokines production. These effects were associated with increased phosphorylation of ERK and NF-Kb. The improved NK cell activity was also strictly related to a time-dependent GSK3β-mediated degradation of IL-1R8. The enhanced activation profile of IL-37 treated NK cells possibly due to IL-1R8 degradation was confirmed by the results with IL-1R8-silenced NK cells. Lastly, in line with these data, through the analysis of the TNM plot database of a large group of patients, IL-37 mRNA expression was found to be significantly lower in colon and skin cancers than in normal tissues. Colon adenocarcinoma and neuroblastoma patients with higher IL-37 mRNA levels had significantly higher overall survival, suggesting that the presence of IL-37 might be considered an independent positive prognostic factor for this tumor. Our results provide novel information on the mechanisms regulating IL-1R8 function in human NK cells, highlighting the IL-37-IL-1R8 axis as a potential new target to improve the anti-tumor immune response."

In addition to surgical interventions, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, radiotherapy (RT) is a crucial treatment for BM and encompasses whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Validating the efficacy and safety of treatment regimens through preclinical models is imperative for successful translation to clinical application. This not only advances fundamental research but also forms the theoretical foundation for clinical study. This review, grounded in animal models of brain metastases (AM-BM), explores the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of radiotherapy in combination with chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and emerging technologies such as nanomaterials and oxygen-containing microbubbles. Initially, we provided a concise overview of the establishment of AM-BMs. Subsequently, we summarize key RT parameters (RT mode, dose, fraction, dose rate) and their corresponding effects in AM-BMs. Finally, we present a comprehensive analysis of the current research status and future directions for combination therapy based on RT. In summary, there is presently no standardized regimen for AM-BM treatment involving RT.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the expression, biological function and regulatory mechanism of LINC00662 in melanomas. First, we found that LINC00662 was up-regulated in melanoma tissues and cell lines. High expression of LINC00662 in melanomas was associated with a poor patient prognosis.

Severe skin damage caused by severe burns, skin cancer, chemical accidents, and industrial accidents damage the structure of the skin tissue as well as the nerve system, resulting in permanent tactile sensory dysfunction, which significantly impacts an individual's daily life. Here, we introduce a fully-implantable wireless powered tactile sensory system embedded artificial skin (WTSA), with stable operation, to restore permanently damaged tactile function and promote wound healing for regenerating severely damaged skin. The fabricated WTSA facilitates (i) replacement of severely damaged tactile sensory with broad biocompatibility, (ii) promoting of skin wound healing and regeneration through collagen and fibrin-based artificial skin (CFAS), and (iii) minimization of foreign body reaction via hydrogel coating on neural interface electrodes. Furthermore, the WTSA shows a stable operation as a sensory system as evidenced by the quantitative analysis of leg movement angle and electromyogram (EMG) signals in response to varying intensities of applied pressures."

Although there is limited long-term data and guidance on management, evidence suggests these to be different conditions from cutaneous lymphoma in adults, highlighting the need for age-appropriate patient information. We present clinical outcomes for our paediatric cohort of five patients with mycosis fungoides, emphasizing that despite diagnostic delays, mycosis fungoides in this age group tends to yield a good prognosis. It remains uncommon to provide clinical expertise together with psychological support in a dermatology paediatric service. Here, we provide our experience in offering this combined service. In conjunction with these patients, we have co-produced an accessible patient information leaflet targeted at a younger audience for support and to clarify potential misconceptions from a diagnosis of cutaneous lymphoma."

Peppermint contains three main groups of phytochemical constituents, including essential oils (mainly menthol), flavonoids (such as hesperidin, eriodictyol, naringenin, quercetin, myricetin, and kaempferol), and nonflavonoid phenolcarboxylic acids. Peppermint exhibits antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-cancer, anti-aging, and analgesic properties and may be effective in treating various disorders, including gastrointestinal disorders (e.g., irritable bowel syndrome, dyspepsia, constipation, functional gastrointestinal disorders, nausea/vomiting, and gallbladder stones). In addition, peppermint has therapeutic benefits for psychological and cognitive health, dental health, urinary retention, skin and wound healing, as well as anti-depressant and anti-anxiety effects, and it may improve memory. However, peppermint has paradoxical effects on sleep quality and alertness, as it has been shown to improve sleep quality in patients with fatigue and anxiety, while also increasing alertness under conditions of monotonous work and relaxation. We also discuss its protective effects against toxic agents at recommended doses, as well as its safety and potential toxicity. Overall, this review provides the latest findings and insights into the properties and clinical effects of peppermint/menthol and highlights its potential as a natural therapeutic agent for various health conditions."

Here we use metagenomics sequencing and short-chain fatty acids metabolomics and assess the effects of human CSU fecal microbial transplantation, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Roseburia hominis, and metabolites in vivo. CSU gut microbiota displays low diversity and short-chain fatty acids production, but high gut Klebsiella pneumoniae levels, negatively correlates with blood short-chain fatty acids levels and links to high disease activity. Blood lipopolysaccharide levels are elevated, link to rapid disease relapse, and high gut levels of conditional pathogenic bacteria. CSU microbiome transfer and Klebsiella pneumoniae transplantation facilitate IgE-mediated mast cell(MC)-driven skin inflammatory responses and increase intestinal permeability and blood lipopolysaccharide accumulation in recipient mice. Transplantation of Roseburia hominis and caproate administration protect recipient mice from MC-driven skin inflammation. Here, we show gut microbiome alterations, in CSU, may reduce short-chain fatty acids and increase lipopolysaccharide levels, respectively, and facilitate MC-driven skin inflammation."

However, how Tregs maintain their fragility and stability remains largely unknown. IFITM3 and STAT1 are interferon-induced genes that play a positive role in the progression of tumors. Here, we showed that IFITM3-deficient Tregs blunted tumor growth by strengthening the tumor-killing response and displayed the Th1-like Treg phenotype with higher secretion of IFNγ. Mechanistically, depletion of IFITM3 enhances the translation and phosphorylation of STAT1. On the contrary, the decreased IFITM3 expression in STAT1-deficient Tregs indicates that STAT1 conversely regulates the expression of IFITM3 to form a feedback loop. Blocking the inflammatory cytokine IFNγ or directly depleting STAT1-IFITM3 axis phenocopies the restored suppressive function of tumor-infiltrating Tregs in the tumor model. Overall, our study demonstrates that the perturbation of tumor-infiltrating Tregs through the IFNγ-IFITM3-STAT1 feedback loop is essential for anti-tumor immunity and constitutes a targetable vulnerability of cancer immunotherapy."

The differential expression of PN genes is a hallmark of many cancers, and the inhibition of protein quality control factors is an effective way to slow cancer cell growth. However, little is known about how the expression of PN genes differs between patients and how this impacts survival outcomes. To address this, we applied unbiased hierarchical clustering to gene expression data obtained from primary and metastatic cutaneous melanoma (CM) samples and found that two distinct groups of individuals emerge across each sample type. These patient groups are distinguished by the differential expression of genes encoding ATP-dependent and ATP-independent chaperones, and proteasomal subunits. Differences in PN gene expression were associated with increased levels of the transcription factors, MEF2A, SP4, ZFX, CREB1 and ATF2, as well as markedly different survival outcomes. However, surprisingly, similar PN alterations in primary and metastatic samples were associated with discordant survival outcomes in patients. Our findings reveal that the expression of PN genes demarcates CM patients and highlights several new proteostasis sub-networks that could be targeted for more effective suppression of CM within specific individuals."

SECOMBIT (NCT02631447) was a randomized, three-arm, noncomparative phase II trial in which patients were randomized to one of two sequences with immunotherapy or targeted therapy first, with a third arm in which an 8-week induction course of targeted therapy followed by a planned switch to immunotherapy was the first treatment. BRAF/MEK inhibitors were encorafenib plus binimetinib and checkpoint inhibitors ipilimumab plus nivolumab. Primary outcome of overall survival was previously reported, demonstrating improved survival with immunotherapy administered until progression and followed by BRAF/MEK inhibition. Here we report 4-year survival outcomes, confirming long-term benefit with first-line immunotherapy. We also describe preliminary results of predefined biomarkers analyses that identify a trend toward improved 4-year overall survival and total progression-free survival in patients with loss-of-function mutations affecting JAK or low baseline levels of serum interferon gamma (IFNy). These long-term survival outcomes confirm immunotherapy as the preferred first-line treatment approach for most patients with BRAFV600-mutant metastatic melanoma, and the biomarker analyses are hypothesis-generating for future investigations of predictors of durable benefit with dual checkpoint blockade and targeted therapy."

This treatment is currently used in patients who have poor lung function or who decline surgery. As SBRT usually has small PTV margins, reducing the beam-on-time (BOT) is beneficial for accurate dose delivery by minimising intrafraction motion as well as improved patient comfort. Removal of the linear accelerator flattening filter can provide a higher dose rate which results in a faster treatment. In addition, the choice of photon energy can also affect the dose distribution to the target and the organs-at-risk (OAR). In this systematic review, studies analysing the choice of various photon beam energies, with a flattening filter or flattening filter free (FFF), were compared for their overall dosimetric benefit in the SBRT treatment for early-stage NSCLC. It was found that FFF treatment delivers a comparatively more conformal dose distribution, as well as a better homogeneity index and conformity index, and typically reduces BOT by between 30 and 50%. The trade-off may be a minor increase in monitor units for FFF treatment found in some studies but not others. Target conformity and OAR sparing, particularly lung doses appear better with 6MV FFF, but 10MV FFF was marginally more advantageous for skin sparing and BOT reduction. The favourable beam modality for clinical use would depend on the individual case, for which tumour size and depth, radiotherapy technique, as well as fractionation scheme need to be taken into account."

However, there is a lack of comprehensive exploration of causal relationships spanning diverse cancer types. Here, we conducted a two-sample MR analysis to elucidate the causative connections between 9 blood lipid metabolic profiles (namely, adiponectin, leptin, lipoprotein A, apolipoprotein A1, apolipoprotein B, cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol) and 21 site-specific cancer risks. Our findings reveal genetically predicted adiponectin levels to be associated with a reduced ovarian cancer risk, while genetically determined leptin increases bladder cancer risk but decreases prostate cancer risk. Lipoprotein A elevates risk of prostate cancer while diminishing risk of endometrial cancer, while apolipoprotein A1 heightens risks of breast and cervical cancers. Furthermore, elevated levels of cholesterol are positively correlated with kidney cancer, and triglycerides demonstrate a positive association with non-melanoma skin cancer but a negative association with breast cancer. Protective effects of genetically predicted LDL-cholesterol on endometrial cancer and adverse effects of HDL-cholesterol on breast cancer are also observed. Our study conclusively establishes that blood lipid metabolic profiles exert causal effects on cancer susceptibility, providing more robust evidence for cancer prevention and prompting contemplation regarding the future health of the human populace."

We propose the ""Strike Team"" as an implementation strategy to improve adherence and reduce SSI in colorectal surgery. At an academic medical center, a multidisciplinary Strike Team met monthly to review colorectal SSI cases, audit and discuss barriers to adherence to SSI prevention bundle, and propose actionable feedback. The latter was shared with frontline clinicians by the Strike Team's surgical leaders in everyday practice. Colorectal SSI rates and bundle adherence data were disseminated quarterly via the hospital intranet and reviewed with surgeons at departmental meetings. Trends in adherence and SSI rates were analyzed by regression analysis using a time series model. While the Strike Team was active, adherence to antibiotic prophylaxis, maintenance of normoglycemia, and standardized intraoperative skin preparation significantly increased (p < .05). There was a trend toward statistically significant reduction in SSI (p = .07), although it was not maintained once the Strike Team activity was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The F98 Fischer rat model is one of the most frequently used animal models for GB studies. However, suboptimal inoculation leads to extra-axial and extracranial tumor formations, affecting its translational value. We aim to improve the F98 rat model by incorporating MRI-guided (hypo)fractionated radiotherapy (3 x 9 Gy) and concomitant temozolomide chemotherapy, mimicking the current standard of care. To minimize undesired tumor growth, we reduced the number of inoculated cells (starting from 20 000 to 500 F98 cells), slowed the withdrawal of the syringe post-inoculation, and irradiated the inoculation track separately. Our results reveal that reducing the number of F98 GB cells correlates with a diminished risk of extra-axial and extracranial tumor growth. However, this introduces higher variability in days until GB confirmation and uniformity in GB growth. To strike a balance, the model inoculated with 5000 F98 cells displayed the best results and was chosen as the most favorable. In conclusion, our improved model offers enhanced translational potential, paving the way for more accurate and reliable assessments of novel adjuvant therapeutic approaches for GB."

For many such malignancies, including melanomas, surgical treatment previously included removal of all potentially draining regional lymph nodes (elective node dissection). The advent of lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy allowed accurate pathologic assessment of the metastatic status of regional nodes and spared patients full dissection if their SLN was clear. In melanoma, recent clinical research has demonstrated that complete lymph node dissection is not clinically beneficial, even for patients with sentinel node metastases and that patients with high-risk primary melanomas benefit from adjuvant systemic immunotherapy, even without nodal disease. These two changes in the standard of care have led to some interest in abandoning surgical nodal staging via the sentinel lymph node biopsy procedure. However, this appears to be premature and potentially detrimental to optimal patient management. The ongoing value of sentinel node biopsy stems from its ability to provide critically important prognostic information as well as durable regional nodal disease control for most patients with nodal metastases, even in the absence of complete dissection of the basin. It also provides an opportunity to identify novel prognostic and predictive immunologic and molecular biomarkers. While it is certainly possible that additional changes in melanoma therapy will make sentinel lymph node biopsy obsolete in the future, at present it remains a minimally invasive, low morbidity means of improving both staging and outcomes."

Congenital melanocytic nevi are either present at birth (small nevi are already found in about 1% of neonates) or manifest predominantly during the first decade of life. These rare melanocytic changes of the eyelids should be controlled regularly, as malignant transformation can occur. The actual incidence of malignant transformation is highly variable in the literature, ranging from 2 to 40% depending on the duration of follow-up, with an average of 14% for the whole lifetime. Moreover, nevi of the eyelids may be considered cosmetically disturbing and cause functional problems. Therapeutic removal (dermabrasion, cryotherapy, laser therapy, and surgical excision with ophthalmoplastic reconstruction) is rarely medically indicated due to the low risk of malignant transformation. Removal can be performed in cases of secondary amblyopia in ptosis, compression of the lacrimal point, epiphora, or cosmetic desire.

They each regulate diverse biological functions in epidermal morphogenesis and in cancer. In the skin, where their activities have been extensively characterized, TAp63 prevents premature aging by regulating the quiescence and genomic stability of stem cells required for wound healing and hair regeneration, while ΔNp63 controls maintenance and terminal differentiation of epidermal basal cells. This functional diversity is surprising given that these isoforms share a high degree of similarity, including an identical sequence for a DNA-binding domain. To understand the mechanisms of the transcriptional programs regulated by each p63 isoform and leading to diverse biological functions, we performed genome-wide analyses using p63 isoform-specific chromatin immunoprecipitation, RNA sequencing, and metabolomics of TAp63-/- and ΔNp63-/- mouse epidermal cells. Our data indicate that TAp63 and ΔNp63 physically and functionally interact with distinct transcription factors for the downstream regulation of their target genes, thus ultimately leading to the regulation of unique transcriptional programs and biological processes. Our findings unveil novel transcriptomes regulated by the p63 isoforms to control diverse biological functions, including the cooperation between TAp63 and NRF2 in the modulation of metabolic pathways and response to oxidative stress providing a mechanistic explanation for the TAp63 knock out phenotypes."

Moreover, physical activity is suggested to attenuate certain adverse effects of anticancer therapy, including the reduction of cardiovascular toxicity and symptoms related to depression and anxiety, among others, while preserving muscular strength. In the case of melanoma, the relationship with physical activity has been critically debated. Historically, several cohort studies and meta-analyses reported a positive association between physical activity/exercise and melanoma risk. This association was primarily attributed to outdoor activities that may expose the skin to UV radiation, a well-known risk factor for melanocyte transformation. However, more recent evidence does not support such association and recognizes physical activity/exercise role in both melanoma prevention and progression.

However, the task of extracting crucial information from intricate events poses a significant challenge in guiding clinical work. Hence, bibliometrics was employed to summarize and predict the future in this study. MATERIAL AND METHODS Reviews and articles on MKT were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) and were analyzed by the software VOSviewer, CiteSpace, Scimago Graphica, and R package Bibliometrix for bibliometric analysis. RESULTS The analysis considered 5700 publications from 28 647 authors and 4924 institutions across 100 countries, spanning the years 1970-2022. Reference co-citation analysis showed that ""renal cell carcinoma"", ""skin cancer"", ""post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder"" and ""COVID-19 vaccine"" were research hotspots. Keywords that co-occurred early were ""immunosuppressant"", ""cancer"", ""Epstein-Barr virus"", ""squamous cell carcinoma"", and ""infection"", etc., while ""impact"",""risk factor"", ""outcomes"", ""mortality"", ""management"" frequently co-occurred later. From 2020 to 2022, newly emerging keywords such as ""SARS-CoV-2"" and ""COVID-19"", together with citation bursts for ""immune checkpoint inhibitors"" and ""ipilimumab,"" were observed. CONCLUSIONS The focus of MKT-related studies has evolved from exploring the spectrum, risk factors, and outcomes of MKT, to examining the pathogenesis, individualized screening, prevention, and treatment, including appropriate use of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Reports of renal transplant recipients infected with SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 have also gained attention since 2019.

The technical challenge is to avoid a fold of skin dogging laterally (""dog-ear""). This might lead to off future discomfort and poor cosmetic result. However, various surgical techniques are reported to tackle this lateral dog ear, there is no standardized technique. We therefore conduct a systematic review of the surgical techniques with the aim of comparing the merits and limitations of every technique. The comparative study among 72 patients was performed in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Anower Khan Modern Medical College & Hospital and Care Medical College & Hospital, Bangladesh from July 2017 to January 2020. Patients were divided randomly into two groups: Group I underwent fishtail technique group (36 patients), Group II underwent modified suturing technique group (36 patients). The follow up periods were 1 month and 3 months post-operatively for determination of the presence of dog ear and patient's satisfaction regarding cosmetic outcome and comfortability. Incidence of dog ear in fish-tail plasty group patients was less than that for Group II yet the difference is not significant less (p value 0.001). In consideration of patient satisfaction, doctor satisfaction and patient comfortability were significantly higher in Group I than Group II (p value 0.476 and 0.001 respectively). Fish-tail plasty was significantly better in patient satisfaction, comfortability and doctor satisfaction than modified suturing techniques and it might be recommended following mastectomy in obese patients for improving cosmesis and avoiding discomfort due to redundant skin."

Ideally, these skills are acquired to a sufficient extent in an ex vivo setting. The authors previously described an in vitro brain tumor model, consisting of a cadaveric animal brain injected with fluorescent agar-agar, for acquiring a wide range of basic neuro-oncological skills. This model focused on haptic skills such as safe tissue ablation technique and the training of fluorescence-based resection. As important didactical technologies such as mixed reality and 3D printing become more readily available, the authors developed a readily available training model that integrates the haptic aspects into a mixed reality setup."

Here, we report updated data from this phase 2 study with a median follow-up of 63 months. Of 85 patients enrolled, including 5 (6%) with deletion 17p or TP53 mutation, 91% completed iFCR and 2-year I-M. Five-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival were 94% (95% confidence interval [CI], 89%-100%) and 99% (95% CI, 96%-100%), respectively. No additional deaths have occurred with this extended follow-up. No difference in PFS was observed by immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable region gene status or duration of I-M. High rates of peripheral blood (PB) uMRD4 were maintained (72% at the end of iFCR, 66% at the end of 2-year I-M, and 44% at 4.5 years from treatment initiation). Thirteen patients developed MRD conversion without clinical progression, mostly (77%) after stopping ibrutinib. None had Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) mutations. One patient had PLCG2 mutation. Six of these patients underwent ibrutinib retreatment per protocol. Median time on ibrutinib retreatment was 34 months. The cumulative incidence of atrial fibrillation was 8%. Second malignancy or nonmalignant hematologic disease occurred in 13%, mostly nonmelanoma skin cancer. Overall, iFCR with 2-year I-M achieved durably deep responses in patients with diverse CLL genetic markers. Re-emergent clones lacked BTK mutation and retained sensitivity to ibrutinib upon retreatment. This trial is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02251548."

After skin cancer, BC is the second most common type of cancer in women. At the end of 2040, the number of newly diagnosed BC cases is projected to increase by over 40%, reaching approximately 3 million worldwide annually. The hormonal and chemotherapeutic approaches based on conventional formulations have inappropriate therapeutic effects and suboptimal pharmacokinetic responses with nonspecific targeting actions. To overcome such issues, the use of nanomedicines, including liposomes, nanoparticles, micelles, hybrid nanoparticles, etc., has gained wider attention in the treatment of BC. Smaller dimensional nanomedicine (especially 50-200 nm) exhibited improved in vivo effectiveness, such as better tissue penetration and more effective tumor suppression through enhanced retention and permeation, as well as active targeting of the drug. Additionally, nanotechnology, which further extended and developed theranostic nanomedicine by incorporating diagnostic and imaging agents in one platform, has been applied to BC. Furthermore, hybrid and theranostic nanomedicine has also been explored for gene delivery as anticancer therapeutics in BC. Moreover, the nanocarriers' size, shape, surface charge, chemical compositions, and surface area play an important role in the nanocarriers' stability, cellular absorption, cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, and toxicity. Additionally, nanomedicine clinical translation for managing BC remains a slow process. However, a few cases are being used clinically, and their progress with the current challenges is addressed in this Review. Therefore, this Review extensively discusses recent advancements in nanomedicine and its clinical challenges in BC."

We present the case of a 69-year-old woman with symptoms of intermittent hematochezia and perianal discomfort for 7 months. Upon examination, we discovered a plaque-like hard mass on the right posterior wall of the anal canal, which extended to encompass the anus and dentate line. The lesion skin also extended forward from the gluteal groove, involving the bilateral labial area. Colonoscopy revealed an extensive protruding lesion on the dentate line, which was confirmed as anal adenocarcinoma (mrT4N0M0). The presence of Paget's cells in perianal and vulvar skins led to the diagnosis of PPD. The strategy of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) followed by radical surgery was then made after multi-disciplinary discuss. The scope and extent of perianal and vulvar disease were significantly diminished after nCRT. The patient underwent laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection and vulvar lesion resection, confirming the diagnosis of anal adenocarcinoma (ypT2N0).

She had no prior medical care established, and the last mammogram was conducted 10 years prior with normal results. She has had multiple ED visits for symptoms of reflux and vaginal bleeding and has been discharged with a primary care follow-up referral each time. On physical exam, there was evidence of nodular skin lesions, tightening of the skin on her face, neck, and back, as well as nodular skin lesions on her neck, back, chest, and abdomen, notably progressing in number, not in size, in a caudal fashion. Further exam findings included telangiectasias predominantly on her right hand. On initial laboratory studies, she was hypercalcemic with an elevated calcium level of 13 mg/dL. Initial imaging included a CT scan of her chest, abdomen, and pelvis, which revealed pulmonary embolism and uterine fibroids, with the largest measuring 5.9 x 4.3 x 5.3 cm, as well as bilateral breast masses noted to be a BI-RADS 3 on ultrasound. A skin biopsy completed early on in the hospitalization revealed metastatic breast cancer, specifically high-grade, poorly differentiated infiltrating mammary carcinoma of the lobular type.

+9236,skin cancer,38161212,A Bioorthogonal Antidote Against the Photosensitivity after Photodynamic Therapy.,"As an effective and non-invasive treatment modality for cancer, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted considerable interest. With the recent advances in the photosensitizing agents, the fiber-optic systems, and other aspects, its application is extended to a wide range of superficial and localized cancers. However, for the few clinically used photosensitizers, most of them suffer from the drawback of causing prolonged photosensitivity after the treatment. As a result, post-PDT management is also a crucial issue. Herein, a facile bioorthogonal approach is reported that can effectively suppress this common side effect of PDT in nude mice. It involves the use of an antidote that contains a black-hole quencher BHQ-3 conjugated with a bicyclo[6.1.0]non-4-yne (BCN) moiety and a tetrazine-substituted boron dipyrromethene-based photosensitizer. By using tumor-bearing nude mice as an animal model, it is demonstrated that after PDT with this photosensitizer, the administration of the antidote can effectively quench the photodynamic activity of the residual photosensitizer by bringing the BHQ-3 quencher close to the photosensitizing unit through a rapid click reaction. It results in substantial reduction in skin damage upon light irradiation. The overall results demonstrate that this simple and facile strategy can provide an effective means for minimizing the photosensitivity after PDT."

In preclinical investigations, combined effect of certain known drugs has been well established in treating extensive human diseases. Attributed to synergistic effects by targeting various disease pathways and advantages, such as reduced administration dose, decreased toxicity, and alleviated drug resistance, combinatorial treatment is now being pursued by delivering therapeutic agents to combat major clinical illnesses, such as cancer, atherosclerosis, pulmonary hypertension, myocarditis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, metabolic disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. Combinatorial therapy involves combining or co-delivering two or more drugs for treating a specific disease. Nanoparticle (NP)-mediated drug delivery systems, i.e., liposomal NPs, polymeric NPs and nanocrystals, are of great interest in combinatorial therapy for a wide range of disorders due to targeted drug delivery, extended drug release, and higher drug stability to avoid rapid clearance at infected areas. This review summarizes various targets of diseases, preclinical or clinically approved drug combinations and the development of multifunctional NPs for combining therapy and emphasizes combinatorial therapeutic strategies based on drug delivery for treating severe clinical diseases. Ultimately, we discuss the challenging of developing NP-codelivery and translation and provide potential approaches to address the limitations.

+9239,skin cancer,38160837,ViCEKb: Vitiligo-linked Chemical Exposome Knowledgebase.,"Vitiligo is a complex disease wherein the environmental factors, in conjunction with the underlying genetic predispositions, trigger the autoimmune destruction of melanocytes, ultimately leading to depigmented patches on the skin. While genetic factors have been extensively studied, the knowledge on environmental triggers remains sparse and less understood. To address this knowledge gap, we present the first comprehensive knowledgebase of vitiligo-triggering chemicals namely, Vitiligo-linked Chemical Exposome Knowledgebase (ViCEKb). ViCEKb involves an extensive and systematic manual effort in curation of published literature and subsequent compilation of 113 unique chemical triggers of vitiligo. ViCEKb standardizes various chemical information, and categorizes the chemicals based on their evidences and sources of exposure. Importantly, ViCEKb contains a wide range of metrics necessary for different toxicological evaluations. Notably, we observed that ViCEKb chemicals are present in a variety of consumer products. For instance, Propyl gallate is present as a fragrance substance in various household products, and Flutamide is used in medication to treat prostate cancer. These two chemicals have the highest level of evidence in ViCEKb, but are not regulated for their skin sensitizing effects. Furthermore, an extensive cheminformatics-based investigation revealed that ViCEKb chemical space is structurally diverse and comprises unique chemical scaffolds in comparison with skin specific regulatory lists. For example, Neomycin and 2,3,5-Triglycidyl-4-aminophenol have unique chemical scaffolds and the highest level of evidence in ViCEKb, but are not regulated for their skin sensitizing effects. Finally, a transcriptomics-based analysis of ViCEKb chemical perturbations in skin cell samples highlighted the commonality in their linked biological processes. Overall, we present the first comprehensive effort in compilation and exploration of various chemical triggers of vitiligo. We believe such a resource will enable in deciphering the complex etiology of vitiligo and aid in the characterization of human chemical exposome.

Although more than 250 species have been described in humans, the total number of papillomaviruses (PVs) discovered in animals does not reach up to this number. In animals, PV infections are mostly asymptomatic or can cause variable clinical conditions ranging from self-limiting papillomas and other cutaneous and mucosal benign lesions to cancer. Most of animal PV types have been discovered in cattle, dogs, horses, and cats with other farm host species remaining overlooked. In particular, the number of PV types so far identified in sheep is limited.

+9243,skin cancer,38160301,Potential to Enhance Large Scale Molecular Assessments of Skin Photoaging through Virtual Inference of Spatial Transcriptomics from Routine Staining.,"The advent of spatial transcriptomics technologies has heralded a renaissance in research to advance our understanding of the spatial cellular and transcriptional heterogeneity within tissues. Spatial transcriptomics allows investigation of the interplay between cells, molecular pathways, and the surrounding tissue architecture and can help elucidate developmental trajectories, disease pathogenesis, and various niches in the tumor microenvironment. Photoaging is the histological and molecular skin damage resulting from chronic/acute sun exposure and is a major risk factor for skin cancer. Spatial transcriptomics technologies hold promise for improving the reliability of evaluating photoaging and developing new therapeutics. Challenges to current methods include limited focus on dermal elastosis variations and reliance on self-reported measures, which can introduce subjectivity and inconsistency. Spatial transcriptomics offers an opportunity to assess photoaging objectively and reproducibly in studies of carcinogenesis and discern the effectiveness of therapies that intervene in photoaging and preventing cancer. Evaluation of distinct histological architectures using highly-multiplexed spatial technologies can identify specific cell lineages that have been understudied due to their location beyond the depth of UV penetration. However, the cost and interpatient variability using state-of-the-art assays such as the 10x Genomics Spatial Transcriptomics assays limits the scope and scale of large-scale molecular epidemiologic studies. Here, we investigate the inference of spatial transcriptomics information from routine hematoxylin and eosin-stained (H&E) tissue slides. We employed the Visium CytAssist spatial transcriptomics assay to analyze over 18,000 genes at a 50-micron resolution for four patients from a cohort of 261 skin specimens collected adjacent to surgical resection sites for basal cell and squamous cell keratinocyte tumors. The spatial transcriptomics data was co-registered with 40x resolution whole slide imaging (WSI) information. We developed machine learning models that achieved a macro-averaged median AUC and F1 score of 0.80 and 0.61 and Spearman coefficient of 0.60 in inferring transcriptomic profiles across the slides, and accurately captured biological pathways across various tissue architectures."
+9244,skin cancer,38160286,Combined kinome inhibition states are predictive of cancer cell line sensitivity to kinase inhibitor combination therapies.,"Protein kinases are a primary focus in targeted therapy development for cancer, owing to their role as regulators in nearly all areas of cell life. Recent strategies targeting the kinome with combination therapies have shown promise, such as trametinib and dabrafenib in advanced melanoma, but empirical design for less characterized pathways remains a challenge. Computational combination screening is an attractive alternative, allowing in-silico filtering prior to experimental testing of drastically fewer leads, increasing efficiency and effectiveness of drug development pipelines. In this work, we generated combined kinome inhibition states of 40,000 kinase inhibitor combinations from kinobeads-based kinome profiling across 64 doses. We then integrated these with transcriptomics from CCLE to build machine learning models with elastic-net feature selection to predict cell line sensitivity across nine cancer types, with accuracy R2 ∼ 0.75-0.9. We then validated the model by using a PDX-derived TNBC cell line and saw good global accuracy (R2 ∼ 0.7) as well as high accuracy in predicting synergy using four popular metrics (R2 ∼ 0.9). Additionally, the model was able to predict a highly synergistic combination of trametinib and omipalisib for TNBC treatment, which incidentally was recently in phase I clinical trials. Our choice of tree-based models for greater interpretability allowed interrogation of highly predictive kinases in each cancer type, such as the MAPK, CDK, and STK kinases. Overall, these results suggest that kinome inhibition states of kinase inhibitor combinations are strongly predictive of cell line responses and have great potential for integration into computational drug screening pipelines. This approach may facilitate the identification of effective kinase inhibitor combinations and accelerate the development of novel cancer therapies, ultimately improving patient outcomes."

Although many good techniques have been described, they often have disadvantages such as necrosis and extensive suture lines. In our approach, we aim to minimize the suture line and avoid tissue necrosis for medium-sized lip defects (30-80 %). This is a surgical technique report from a single center. After tumor resection, we made a bilateral 15 mm horizontal skin and mucosa incision from the angles of the lip to the lateral sides. The mucosa and skin were dissected from the underlying muscle, and the muscle was cut approximately 15 mm on each side. The lip defect was then closed and sutured in four layers. Finally, the released mucosa was sutured to the corner of the incised skin. We followed the patients for 36 months and found that their speech intelligibility, sensation, mobility, and aesthetic satisfaction were preserved. The scars were also less pronounced compared to flaps, and there were no signs of edema or drooling. In conclusion, our technique offers many advantages for moderate defects of lower lip tumors. By avoiding the use of flaps, we eliminate the complications associated with flap surgery while achieving aesthetically satisfactory results. However, further evaluation by other surgeons is necessary to fully examine the technique's benefits."

In mammals, the embryonic surface epithelium gives rise to the epidermis as well as the associated appendages including hair follicles and mammary glands, both of which depend on epithelial Wnt/β-catenin activity for initiation of their development. Later on, Wnts are thought to enhance mammary gland growth and branching, whereas in hair follicles, they are essential for hair shaft formation. In this study, we report a strong downregulation of epithelial Wnt/β-catenin activity as the mammary bud progresses to branching. We show that forced activation of epithelial β-catenin severely compromises embryonic mammary gland branching. However, the phenotype of conditional Lef1-deficient embryos implies that a low level of Wnt/β-catenin activity is necessary for mammary cell survival. Transcriptomic profiling suggests that sustained high β-catenin activity leads to maintenance of mammary bud gene signature at the expense of outgrowth/branching gene signature. In addition, it leads to upregulation of epidermal differentiation genes. Strikingly, we find a partial switch to hair follicle fate early on upon stabilization of β-catenin, suggesting that the level of epithelial Wnt/β-catenin signaling activity may contribute to the choice between skin appendage identities."

Through the directed differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), here, we report the generation of multilineage ESC-derived mammary organoids (MEMOs). We adapted the skin organoid model, inducing the dermal mesenchyme to transform into mammary-specific mesenchyme via the sequential activation of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 (BMP4) and Parathyroid Hormone-related Protein (PTHrP) and inhibition of hedgehog (HH) signaling. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we identified gene expression profiles that demonstrate the presence of mammary-specific epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and adipocytes. MEMOs undergo ductal morphogenesis in Matrigel and can reconstitute the MG in vivo. Further, we demonstrate that the loss of function in placode regulators LEF1 and TBX3 in mESCs results in impaired skin and MEMO generation. In summary, our MEMO model is a robust tool for studying the development of ectodermal appendages, and it provides a foundation for regenerative medicine and disease modeling."

The purpose of this trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of Episil in improving acute radiation dermatitis (ARD) in patients with breast cancer. This study included patients who met the criteria for postoperative RT for breast cancer. The primary end point was the grade of RD during treatment. A total of 102 patients were included in this study. The patients were grouped in a 2:1 ratio using the randomized number table method: 67 patients received Episil combined with conventional skin care (the Episil group), whereas the remaining 35 patients served as the control group and received conventional skin care only (the control group). According to the grading criteria of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG), the skin reaction rate and severity were significantly better in the Episil group than the control group (24.62%, 72.31%, 3.08, 0, 0 vs. 0, 85.71%, 14.29%, 0, 0, 0) across grades 0 to 4 (P < 0.05).

+9256,skin cancer,38159229,Human Papilloma Virus-Infected Cells.,"Human papillomavirus (HPV) is associated with infection of different tissues, such as the cervix, anus, vagina, penis, vulva, oropharynx, throat, tonsils, back of the tongue, skin, the lungs, among other tissues. HPV infection may or may not be associated with the development of cancer, where HPVs not related to cancer are defined as low-risk HPVs and are associated with papillomatosis disease. In contrast, high-risk HPVs (HR-HPVs) are associated with developing cancers in areas that HR-HPV infects, such as the cervix. In general, infection of HPV target cells is regulated by specific molecules and receptors that induce various conformational changes of HPV capsid proteins, allowing activation of HPV endocytosis mechanisms and the arrival of the HPV genome to the human cell nucleus. After the transcription of the HPV genome, the HPV genome duplicates exponentially to lodge in a new HPV capsid, inducing the process of exocytosis of HPV virions and thus releasing a new HPV viral particle with a high potential of infection. This infection process allows the HPV viral life cycle to conclude and enables the growth of HPV virions. Understanding the entire infection process has been a topic that researchers have studied and developed for decades; however, there are many things to still understand about HPV infection. A thorough understanding of these HPV infection processes will allow new potential treatments for HPV-associated cancer and papillomatosis. This chapter focuses on HPV infection, the process that will enable HPV to complete its HPV life cycle, emphasizing the critical role of different molecules in allowing this infection and its completion during the HPV viral life cycle."

Combining flaps with reliable vascular supply, like the revolving door post-auricular flap and a mastoid advancement flap, is an attractive single-stage reconstructive option to rebuild a sturdy auricle."
+9258,skin cancer,38158521,Small extracellular vesicle-based human melanocyte and melanoma signature.,"Intercellular communication is a cell-type and stimulus-dependent event driven not only by soluble factors but also by extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs include vesicles of different size and origin that contain a myriad of molecules. Among them, small EVs (sEV; <200 nm) have been shown to modulate not just regional cell responses but also distant organ behavior. In cancer, distant organ modulation by sEVs has been associated to disease dissemination, which is one of the main concerns in melanoma. Description of broadly conserved alterations in sEV-contained molecules represents a strategy to identify key modifications in cellular communication as well as new disease biomarkers. Here, we characterize proteomes of cutaneous melanocyte and melanoma-derived sEVs to deepen on the landscape of normal and disease-related cell communication. Results reveal the presence of unique protein signatures for melanocytes and melanoma cells that reflect cellular transformation-related profound modifications. Melanocyte-derived sEVs are enriched in oxidative metabolism (e.g., aconitase 2, ACO2) or pigmentation (e.g., tyrosinase, TYR) related proteins while melanoma-derived sEVs reflect a generalized decrease in mature melanocytic markers (e.g., melanoma antigen recognized by T-cells 1, MART-1, also known as MLANA) and an increase in epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related adhesion molecules such as tenascin C (TNC)."

+9260,skin cancer,38158477,Systemic Therapy for Melanoma Brain and Leptomeningeal Metastases.,"Melanoma has a high propensity to metastasize to the brain which portends a poorer prognosis. With advanced radiation techniques and targeted therapies, outcomes however are improving. Melanoma brain metastases are best managed in a multi-disciplinary approach, including medical oncologists, neuro-oncologists, radiation oncologists, and neurosurgeons. The sequence of therapies is dependent on the number and size of brain metastases, status of systemic disease control, prior therapies, performance status, and neurological symptoms. The goal of treatment is to minimize neurologic morbidity and prolong both progression free and overall survival while maximizing quality of life. Surgery should be considered for solitary metastases, or large and/or symptomatic metastases with edema. Stereotactic radiosurgery offers a benefit over whole-brain radiation attributed to the relative radioresistance of melanoma and reduction in neurotoxicity. Thus far, data supports a more durable response with systemic therapy using combination immunotherapy of ipilimumab and nivolumab, though targeting the presence of BRAF mutations can also be utilized. BRAF inhibitor therapy is often used after immunotherapy failure, unless a more rapid initial response is needed and then can be done prior to initiating immunotherapy. Further trials are needed, particularly for leptomeningeal metastases which currently require the multi-disciplinary approach to determine best treatment plan."
+9261,skin cancer,38158454,Immune checkpoint inhibitors and cancer immunotherapy by aptamers: an overview.,"Efforts in cancer immunotherapy aim to counteract evasion mechanisms and stimulate the immune system to recognise and attack cancer cells effectively. Combination therapies that target multiple aspects of immune evasion are being investigated to enhance the overall efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. PD-1 (Programmed Cell Death Protein 1), CTLA-4 (Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4), LAG-3 (Lymphocyte-Activation Gene 3), and TIM-3 (T Cell Immunoglobulin and Mucin Domain-Containing Protein3) are all immune checkpoint receptors that play crucial roles in regulating the immune response and maintaining self-tolerance often exploited by cancer cells to evade immune surveillance. Antibodies targeted against immune checkpoint inhibitors such as anti-PD-1 antibodies (e.g., pembrolizumab, nivolumab), anti-CTLA-4 antibodies (e.g., Ipilimumab), and experimental drugs targeting LAG-3 and TIM-3, aim to block these interactions and unleash the immune system's ability to recognise and destroy cancer cells. The US FDA has approved different categories of immune checkpoint inhibitors that have been utilised successfully in some patients with metastatic melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, head and neck cancers, and non-small lung cancer. Although several immune checkpoint inhibitor antibodies have been developed, they exhibited immune-related adverse effects, resulting in hypophysitis, diabetes, and neurological issues. These adverse effects of antibodies can be reduced by developing aptamer against the target. Aptamers offer several advantages over traditional antibodies, such as improved specificity, reduced immunogenicity, and flexible design for reduced adverse effects that specifically target and block protein-protein or receptor-ligand interactions involved in immune checkpoint pathways. The current study aims to review the function of particular immune checkpoint inhibitors along with developed aptamer-mediated antitumor cytotoxicity in cancer treatment."

+9263,skin cancer,38158377,Comprehensive molecular findings in primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus: A multicenter study.,"Primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus (PMME) is an extremely rare but highly aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. Due to the scarcity of driver gene alterations, there is a need for more clinical data to comprehensively depict its molecular alterations. This study reviewed 26 PMME cases from three medical centers. Hybrid capture-based targeted sequencing of 295 and 1021 genes was performed in 14 and 12 cases, respectively. We found that PMME patients had a relatively low tumor mutation burden (median, 2.88 mutations per Mb) and were simultaneously accompanied by mutations in genes such as KIT (6/26, 23%), TP53 (6/26, 23%), SF3B1 (4/26, 15%), and NRAS (3/26, 12%). KIT, NRAS, and BRAF were mutually exclusive, and SF3B1 co-occurred with KIT mutation and amplification. The most common pathways affected were the mitogen-activated protein kinases and DNA damage response (DDR) pathways. Stage IV was a risk factor for both progression-free survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 5.14, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.32-19.91) and overall survival (OS), HR = 4.33, 95% CI = 1.22-15.30). Treatment with immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) was an independent factor for favorable OS (HR = 0.10, 95% CI = 0.01-0.91). Overall, PMME is a complex malignancy with diverse gene alterations, especially with harboring DDR alterations for potentially response from ICIs."

The preferred first line treatment, immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) might shape the tumor and the tumor microenvironment, possibly affecting the response to subsequent therapies. The aim of this study was to investigate the treatment effect of DTIC/TMZ in MM patients after CPI therapy in a consecutive patient cohort and through systematic literature review and meta-analysis. Thirty-five patients with advanced MM treated with DTIC/TMZ after previous CPI therapy in three Swedish regions between 2017 and 2021 were recognized and seven case series studies were identified through systematic database review. Pooled data from all 345 patients showed a median real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) of 1.9 months and overall survival (OS) of 6.0 months. Three of these studies were included in a meta-analysis comparing DTIC/TMZ after CPI treatment, versus no previous immunotherapy, showing no statistically significant differences in rwPFS or OS but higher real-world response rate to chemotherapy for the prior-CPI treated group (Odds Ratio: 2.24; 95% Confidence Interval: 1.04-4.86). The current study supports consideration of DTIC/TMZ in later line of treatment in the immunotherapy era."

+9266,skin cancer,38158036,Naked mole-rat hyaluronan.,"Naked mole rats (NMRs) are renowned for their exceptional longevity and remarkable maintenance of health throughout their lifetime. Their subterranean lifestyle has led to adaptations that have resulted in elevated levels of a very high molecular weight hyaluronan in their tissues. Hyaluronan, a glycosaminoglycan, is a key component of the extracellular matrix, which plays a critical role in maintaining tissue structure and regulating cell signaling pathways. This phenomenon in NMRs is attributed to a higher processing and production capacity by some of their hyaluronan synthases, along with lower degradation by certain hyaluronidases. Furthermore, this adaptation indirectly confers several advantages to NMRs, such as the preservation of skin elasticity and youthful appearance, accelerated wound healing, protection against oxidative stress, and resistance to conditions such as cancer and arthritis, largely attributable to CD44 signaling and other intricate mechanisms. Thus, the main objective of this study was to conduct a comprehensive study of the distinctive features of NMR hyaluronan, particularly emphasizing the currently known molecular mechanisms that contribute to its beneficial properties. Furthermore, this research delves into the potential applications of NMR hyaluronan in both cosmetic and therapeutic fields, as well as the challenges involved."
+9267,skin cancer,38157930,Acquisition of Drug Resistance in Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome Tumors through Basal to Squamous Cell Carcinoma Transition.,"Although basal cell carcinomas arise from ectopic Hedgehog pathway activation and can be treated with pathway inhibitors, sporadic basal cell carcinomas display high resistance rates, whereas tumors arising in patients with Gorlin syndrome with germline Patched (PTCH1) alterations are uniformly suppressed by inhibitor therapy. In rare cases, patients with Gorlin syndrome on long-term inhibitor therapy will develop individual resistant tumor clones that rapidly progress, but the basis of this resistance remains unstudied. In this study, we report a case of an SMO inhibitor-resistant tumor arising in a patient with Gorlin syndrome on suppressive SMO inhibitor for nearly a decade. Using a combination of multiomics and spatial transcriptomics, we define the tumor populations at the cellular and tissue level to conclude that Gorlin tumors can develop resistance to SMO inhibitors through the previously described basal to squamous cell carcinoma transition. Intriguingly, through spatial whole-exome genomic analysis, we nominate PCYT2, ETNK1, and the phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthetic pathway as genetic suppressors of basal to squamous cell carcinoma transition resistance. These observations provide a general framework for studying tumor evolution and provide important clinical insight into mechanisms of resistance to SMO inhibitors for not only Gorlin syndrome but also sporadic basal cell carcinomas."

Here, we review the state of the microbiota field in the context of melanoma, the recent breakthroughs in defining microbial modes of action, and how to modulate the microbiota to enhance response to cancer immunotherapy. The host-microbe interaction may be deciphered by the use of ""omics"" technologies, and will guide patient stratification and the development of microbiota-centered interventions.

For relapsed/refractory (R/R) PTCLs, the efficacy of traditional chemotherapy is even worse, so clinical trials and new drugs become their therapeutic hope. The patient was a 43-year-old woman who complained of enlarged superficial lymph nodes (submandibular, neck, axillary, epitrochlear, and groin) and progressive aggravation of skin lesions, facial and limb edema, and subcutaneous masses. Histological analyses of lymph nodes and skin biopsy were suggestive of PTCL-NOS. The patient experienced failure of six lines of therapy, including multiple cycles of chemotherapy, chidamide, and BCL-2 inhibitors therapy, surprisingly, has a good response to PD-1 inhibitor combined with decitabine.

+9274,skin cancer,38156937,Local treatment of liver metastasis in a patient with advanced malignant melanoma: A case report.,"Melanoma is a fatal malignant tumor with a high rate of metastasis. Liver metastasis of melanoma is always associated with insensitivity to immunotherapy and a poor prognosis. However, the combination of cryoablation, which is believed to stimulate the antitumor immune response in the body, with immunotherapy can improve the therapeutic response to this condition. Herein, we present the case of a 79-year-old woman with BRAF (B-Raf proto-oncogene) wild-type melanoma who later developed liver metastasis. The patient received intravenous antiprogrammed cell death 1 antibody, which showed poor efficacy, and subsequent treatment with immunotherapy combined with cryoablation yielded a partial response. However, after the second cryoablation, the patient refused further treatment due to a fear of bleeding. Therefore, only immunotherapy was provided, which resulted in disease progression. This report demonstrates the need to consider immunotherapy plus cryoablation for the treatment of liver metastases in patients with BRAF wild-type melanoma."

+9280,skin cancer,38156714,The role of micrometastasis in high-risk skin cancers.,"The propensity to metastasize is the most important prognostic indicator for solid cancers. New insights into the mechanisms of early carcinogenesis have revealed micrometastases are generated far earlier than previously thought. Evidence supports a synergistic relationship between vascular and lymphatic seeding which can occur before there is clinical evidence of a primary tumour. Early vascular seeding prepares distal sites for colonisation while regional lymphatics are co-opted to promote facilitative cancer cell mutations. In response, the host mounts a global inflammatory and immunomodulatory response towards these cells supporting the concept that cancer is a systemic disease. Cancer staging systems should be refined to better reflect cancer cell loads in various tissue compartments while clinical perspectives should be broadened to encompass this view when approaching high-risk cancers. Measured adjunctive therapies implemented earlier for low-volume, in-transit cancer offers the prospect of preventing advanced disease and the need for heroic therapeutic interventions. This review seeks to re-appraise how we view the metastatic process for solid cancers. It will explore in-transit metastasis in the context of high-risk skin cancer and how it dictates disease progression. It will also discuss how these implications will influence our current staging systems and its consequences on management."

The proposed MWHT applicator has been designed as an Archimedean Spiral Microstrip Patch Antenna (AMSPA) of dimensions 38 × 38 × 1.64 mm3 backed with a Meshed-shaped AMC (48 × 48 × 3.27mm3) reflector, placed at an optimized distance of 12 mm from AMSPA. The proposed AMSPA is designed as a single spiral resonator and fabricated on FR-4 substrate, excited using a feed network. The proposed AMSPA shows a resonance at 2.5 GHz with an impedance BW of 260 MHz (2.37-2.63 GHz) and peak gain of 3.20 dB with a bidirectional radiation pattern. An AMC is placed at its backside that can be exploited as a phase-compensation surface to attain an in-phase profile for directive emission and improve the BW upto 470 MHz, peak gain to 6.8 dB and also enhance the front-to-back ratio of the radiating antenna with radiation efficiency of 80%. The simulated environment for hyperthermia analysis is set up using penne's Bio-Heat equations to deliver microwave energy to the bio-mimic, that leads to a rise in temperature over the designed bio-mimic in CST MWS in the range of 41-45°C. The validation of MWHT radiation properties and temperature rise inside the malignancy of phantom is carried out by fabricating the bio-mimic using gelatine, vegetable oils and glycerol.

The results were filtered to include studies published within the last decade that focused on melanoma diagnosis, risk, or outcomes. These selected studies included African Americans, non-Hispanic Black individuals, or those with darker skin tones and compared them with educational interventions or non-Hispanic White groups. The studies showed an overall positive impact of targeted educational initiatives on using sun-protective behaviors, health education, and self-efficacy related to melanoma. Notably, interventions proven to be effective for non-Hispanic White populations also demonstrated efficacy in other racial groups, including non-Hispanic Blacks. It was observed that non-Hispanic Blacks exhibited an overall reduced level of concern regarding melanoma, partly due to its lower incidence within this demographic. Furthermore, these studies focussed on the disparities in melanoma incidence and survival rates among different racial groups. Non-Hispanic Black individuals were found to have a higher incidence of melanoma and lower survival rates compared to non-Hispanic White individuals. Collectively, the studies evaluating melanoma educational interventions for darker skin tones yield promising results for improving melanoma prognosis in Black communities. They underscore the importance of addressing racial disparities in melanoma awareness, diagnosis, and treatments. These studies also highlighted the barriers to sun protection behaviors, such as cost, limited awareness, and misconceptions, particularly prevalent among ethnic communities and youth. The use of melanoma photographs specifically tailored to darker skin tones in outreach efforts to enhance identification, self-examination, and early detection should be considered to improve melanoma prognosis similar to the non-White population."

By noninvasively pressing a tape strip against human skin, metabolites, fatty acids, and lipids on the skin surface are transferred to the tape with little spatial distortion. Running DESI-MSI on the tape strip provides chemical images of the molecules on the skin surface, which are valuable for distinguishing cancer from healthy skin. Chemical components of the tissue imprint on the tape strip and the original basal cell carcinoma (BCC) section from the mass spectra show high consistency. By comparing MS images (about 150-μm resolution) of same molecules from the tape strip and from the BCC section, we confirm that chemical patterns are successfully transferred to the tape stripe. We also used the technique to distinguish cherry angiomas from normal human skin by comparing the molecular patterns from a tape strip.

Therefore, further research is necessary to identify tumor-related biomarkers that can predict the prognosis of immunotherapy. Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) have been recognized as a crucial factor in predicting the response of immune checkpoint inhibitors in solid tumors, including CM. However, the study of TLSs in CM is not yet comprehensive. Gene expression profiles have been shown to correlate with CM risk stratification and patient outcomes. In this study, we identified TLS-related genes that can be used for prognostic purposes and developed a corresponding risk model. The impact of TLS-related genes on clinicopathological characteristics, immune infiltration and drug susceptibility was also explored. Our biological function enrichment analysis provided preliminary evidence of related signaling pathways.

It is mainly characterized by skin symptoms such as purpura, arthritis/arthralgia, abdominal symptoms, and nephropathy, which are caused by IgA adherence to the vessel walls. Herein, we report the case of an advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and a purpuric skin rash of the legs that developed during fourth-line chemotherapy with tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil (S-1). CASE REPORT A 68-year-old man diagnosed with NSCLC 2 years ago was undergoing S-1 as fourth-line chemotherapy when he developed purpura and edema on the lower extremities. Biopsy renal specimens were consistent with IgA vasculitis. Considering his medical history, both IgA vasculitis induced by S-1 and a paraneoplastic syndrome were considered, although the exact cause could not be identified. Subsequently, chemotherapy was discontinued because of his deteriorating general condition, and he received optimal supportive care. The purpura spontaneously disappeared; however, his ascites and renal function deteriorated. Systemic steroids improved renal function, but the ascites did not resolve. One month after being diagnosed with IgA vasculitis, the patient died due to deterioration of his general condition. CONCLUSIONS This case emphasizes the occurrence of IgA vasculitis during lung cancer treatment and its potential impact on the disease course of lung cancer. Moreover, the possible causes of IgA vasculitis in this case were paraneoplastic syndrome or S-1 adverse effects, but further case series are needed to gain a more comprehensive understanding. Refractory, steroid-unresponsive ascites may occur as an abdominal manifestation of IgA vasculitis."

We employed scientometric mapping, entity mining, visualization techniques, and PubMed and PubTator databases. Most popular keywords, most active research groups, and growth in quantity of publications were determined. By gathering annotations from the PubTator, we determined direction of research in the areas of drug hypersensitivity, drug resistance (AMR), and drug-related side effects. Additionally, we examined the patterns in research on Mtb metabolism and various forms of tuberculosis, including skin, brain, pulmonary, extrapulmonary, and latent tuberculosis. We discovered that 2011 had the highest annual growth rate of publications, at 19.94%. The USA leads the world in publications with 18,038, followed by China with 14,441, and India with 12,158 publications. Studies on isoniazid and rifampicin resistance showed an enormous increase. Non-tuberculous mycobacteria also been the subject of more research in effort to better understand Mtb physiology and as model organisms. Researchers also looked at co-infections like leprosy, hepatitis, plasmodium, HIV, and other opportunistic infections. Host perspectives like immune response, hypoxia, and reactive oxygen species, as well as comorbidities like arthritis, cancer, diabetes, and kidney disease etc. were also looked at. Symptomatic aspects like fever, coughing, and weight loss were also investigated. Vitamin D has gained popularity as a supplement during illness recovery, however, the interest of researchers declined off late. We delineated dominant researchers, journals, institutions, and leading nations globally, which is crucial for aligning ongoing and evolving landscape of TB research efforts.

However, the nonspecific binding of many cyanine dyes to endogenous albumin leads to high organ accumulation and skin absorption, resulting in low-quality imaging and poor reproducibility of contrast during long-term (e.g., 7 days) postoperative monitoring. Here, a novel strategy is proposed that can be widely applied to prevent protein binding for NIR-I/II Cl-containing cyanine dyes. This strategy produces protein-escaping dyes, ensuring high fluorescence enhancement in the blood with rapid clearance and no residual fluorescence, allowing for short-term repeatable injections for vascular imaging. This strategy in the perioperative monitoring of pedicle perforator flap models in mice and rats is successfully applied. Furthermore, leveraging the universality of this strategy, multiple nonoverlapping protein-escaping probes that achieve dual-excitation (808 and 1064 nm) interference-free imaging of nerve-vessel and tumor-vessel simultaneously are designed and synthesized. These protein-escaping dyes enable long-term repeatable dual-color imaging of tumor localization, resection, and tumor-vessel reconstruction at the wound site."

Given that AAs constitute 13.4% of the US population, understanding the skin disease profile within this significant demographic is crucial. From a total of 1701 biopsies collected from 1442 AA patients, benign neoplasms emerged as the most common diagnosis, accounting for 26.7%, predominantly in females. Notably, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma was the most frequently biopsied malignancy, whereas pigmentary disorders were the least common at 1.4%. The study highlighted the higher occurrence of squamous cell carcinoma compared with basal cell carcinoma in AA, contrasting trends in other racial demographics. Moreover, recognizing the unique presentations of skin disorders in different racial backgrounds is essential, especially because disparities have been reported in skin of color training among dermatology residency programs. Understanding these racial differences in skin diseases can assist clinicians in refining their diagnostic approach. Future research could further explore the potential gaps between clinical expectations and histologic findings, improving diagnostic accuracy."

It is often a clinical diagnosis that is confirmed with skin biopsy. Histologic hallmarks of mammary Paget disease include large, pleomorphic, malignant, ductal epithelial cells within the epidermis. Chronic lichenoid inflammation may be seen in the papillary dermis but is not diagnostic. Because mammary Paget disease often overlies ductal carcinoma in situ or invasive carcinoma of the breast, prompt bilateral mammography is warranted. We report a case of Paget disease of the nipple with negative breast imaging that was originally misdiagnosed due to a dense lichenoid infiltrate obscuring the neoplasm."

The present study aimed to describe the clinical as the histopathological and molecular cutaneous melanoma features according to the presence of the three most prevalent pTERT mutation subtypes (-124C > T, -146C > T, and tandem -138_139CC > TT). A retrospective cross-sectional study including 684 patients was designed, and a Partial Least-Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) was performed. After the PSL-DA, it was observed that the tandem -138_139CC > TT subtype differs from the other subtypes. The model demonstrated that the -124C > T and the -138_139 CC > TT subtypes were associated with fast-growing melanomas (OR 0.5, CI 0.29-0.86, p = .012) and with Breslow >2 mm (OR 0.6, CI 0.37-0.97, p = .037), compared to the -146C > T mutation. Finally, the -124C > T appeared to be more associated with the presence of TILs (non-brisk) than the -146C > T (OR 0.6, CI 0.40-1.01, p = .05). These findings confirmed that the -124C > T and the tandem -138_139 CC > TT subtypes are both highly associated with the presence of features of aggressiveness; however, only the -124C > T was highly associated with TILs. This difference could explain the worse survival rate associated with the tandem -138_139CC > TT mutations."

While mycosis fungoides is linked to an increased risk of developing secondary malignancies, the occurrence of B-cell-originated disease in association with it is exceedingly rare. A 66-year-old male with persistent papillomatous skin eruption was admitted due to dyspnea. Chest X-ray, positron emission tomography, and chest computed tomography revealed axillary and mediastinal lymph node enlargement and right lower pulmonary lobe infiltration along with right-sided massive pleural effusion. Histological and immunohistochemical findings of pleural biopsy and axillary lymph nodes suggested a diagnosis of pulmonary extranodal marginal zone lymphoma. Skin biopsies from the abdomen, chest, and legs revealed CD4/CD8 double-positive patch stage of mycosis fungoides. After completing six cycles of chemotherapy, complete remission of lymphoma was achieved, with the skin eruptions remaining unchanged. Herein, the authors present a unique case of concomitant diagnoses of mycosis fungoides and marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the respiratory system to emphasize the importance of careful evaluation of each finding."

The objective of this research endeavour was to clarify the impact of gene mutations and variations in expression within TGF-β family on mechanisms of tissue repair, as well as to identify potential targets for therapeutic purposes in non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). The methods utilized in this study involved obtaining RNA-seq data from 224 NMSC patients and paired normal skin tissues from the PRJNA320473 and PRJEB27606 databases. The purpose of the differential gene expression analysis was to identify genes whose expression had changed significantly. In order to evaluate the effects and interrelationships of identified gene variants, structural analysis with AlphaFold and PDB data and network analysis with the STRING database were both utilized. Critical gene expression was externally validated through the utilization of the GEPIA database. Tumour tissues exhibited a notable upregulation of genes associated with the TGF-β pathway, specifically MMP1, MMP3, MMP9, EGF, COL3A1 and COL1A2, in comparison with normal tissues. As indicated by the central node status of these genes in the network analysis, they play a crucial role in the progression of NMSCs. The results of the structural analysis suggested that mutations might cause functional disruptions. External validation of the upregulation confirmed the expression trends and emphasized the biomarker potential of the upregulated genes. In conclusion, this research offered thorough examination of molecular modifications that occur in TGF-β family genes, which are linked to cutaneous wound healing and NMSC. The modified expression of the identified hub genes may represent innovative targets for therapeutic intervention."

However, the associations between mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA-CN) and cancer risk are controversial. Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were performed using three independent instrumental variables (IVs) to explore potential associations between mtDNA-CN and 20 types of cancer. The three sets of IVs were primarily obtained from participants in the UK Biobank and the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology consortium using different methods. The outcome data of cancers were investigated using summary statistics from the FinnGen cohort. The potential causal associations were evaluated using the MR-Egger regression, weighted median, inverse-variance weighted (IVW), and weighted mode methods. The robustness of IVW estimates was validated using leave-one-out sensitivity analysis. Additionally, a meta-analysis was conducted to pool results from three sets of IVs. The results revealed that genetically predicted mtDNA-CN was not associated with cancer risk (odds ratio = 1.02; 95% confidence interval: 0.95-1.10). Subgroup analyses indicated no causal association between mtDNA-CN and breast, lung, prostate, skin, colorectal, gastric, liver, cervical uteri, esophageal, thyroid, bladder, pancreas, kidney, corpus uteri, ovary, brain, larynx, and anus cancers. It was observed that mtDNA-CN was associated with lip, oral cavity, and testis cancers. However, these results should be interpreted with caution because a small number of patients with lip and oral cavity or testis cancers were included. The comprehensive MR analysis demonstrated that mtDNA-CN is not a suitable biomarker for tumor risk assessment."

A complete understanding of the heat transfer process and the associated thermal and mechanical effects on the patient's skin tissues is critical to ensuring the effective applications of thermal therapy techniques and procedures. The surface boundary of the half-space undergoes a heat flux characterized by an exponentially decaying pulse, while maintaining a condition of zero traction. The utilization of Laplace and Fourier transformations is employed, and the resulting formulations are then applied to human tissues undergoing regional hyperthermia treatment for cancer therapy. To perform the inversion process for Laplace and Fourier transforms, a numerical programming method based on Stehfest numerical inverse method is employed. The findings demonstrate that blood perfusion rate and thermal relaxation time significantly influence all the analyzed distributions. Numerical findings suggest that thermo-mechanical waves propagate through skin tissue over finite distances, which helps mitigate the unrealistic predictions made by the Pennes' model."

In 2021, she presented to the emergency department with a complaint of predominantly right-sided lower back pain. A CT scan of the lumbosacral region revealed a bone lesion in the L5 vertebra and retroperitoneal lymphadenopathies suggestive of malignancy. Histology of the L5 vertebra biopsy showed a poorly differentiated carcinoma with an inconclusive immunophenotypic profile. Treatment for carcinoma of unknown primary was started with a combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel every 21 days. A genomic study of the biopsy specimen performed on the FoundationOne CDx platform identified a nonhuman genetic signature compatible with HPV. The presence of HPV 18 DNA in the specimen was confirmed by PCR-reverse dot blot, and the immunophenotypic profile was expanded, revealing strong and diffuse p16 expression, thus corroborating the molecular findings. In view of these findings, the case was reclassified as a recurrence of the cervical adenocarcinoma that had been diagnosed and treated 23 years earlier. Based on the new results, and according to first-line cervical carcinoma protocols, bevacizumab at 15 mg/kg every 21 days was added to her chemotherapy regimen. The identification of HPV DNA sequences by next-generation sequencing facilitated the correct diagnosis and led to a modification of the first-line therapeutic approach."

+9313,skin cancer,38150449,SkinViT: A transformer based method for Melanoma and Nonmelanoma classification.,"Over the past few decades, skin cancer has emerged as a major global health concern. The efficacy of skin cancer treatment greatly depends upon early diagnosis and effective treatment. The automated classification of Melanoma and Nonmelanoma is quite challenging task due to presence of high visual similarities across different classes and variabilities within each class. According to the best of our knowledge, this study represents the classification of Melanoma and Nonmelanoma utilising Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) and Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) under the Nonmelanoma class for the first time. Therefore, this research focuses on automated detection of different skin cancer types to provide assistance to the dermatologists in timely diagnosis and treatment of Melanoma and Nonmelanoma patients. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) methods have gained popularity where Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are employed to accurately classify various skin diseases. However, CNN has limitation in its ability to capture global contextual information which may lead to missing important information. In order to address this issue, this research explores the outlook attention mechanism inspired by vision outlooker, which improves important features while suppressing noisy features. The proposed SkinViT architecture integrates an outlooker block, transformer block and MLP head block to efficiently capture both fine level and global features in order to enhance the accuracy of Melanoma and Nonmelanoma classification. The proposed SkinViT method is assessed by different performance metrics such as recall, precision, classification accuracy, and F1 score. We performed extensive experiments on three datasets, Dataset1 which is extracted from ISIC2019, Dataset2 collected from various online dermatological database and Dataset3 combines both datasets. The proposed SkinViT achieved 0.9109 accuracy on Dataset1, 0.8911 accuracy on Dataset3 and 0.8611 accuracy on Dataset2. Moreover, the proposed SkinViT method outperformed other SOTA models and displayed higher accuracy compared to the previous work in the literature. The proposed method demonstrated higher performance efficiency in classification of Melanoma and Nonmelanoma dermoscopic images. This work is expected to inspire further research in implementing a system for detecting skin cancer that can assist dermatologists in timely diagnosing Melanoma and Nonmelanoma patients."

The objective of this study is to review the efficacy and side effects of HIFU in the management of osteoid osteoma. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Science Direct, and Clinical Key until June 30, 2022. Demographic data, baseline characteristics, success rates, pre- and post-procedure pain scores, recurrences, and complications were recorded. Eleven studies were included in this systematic review.

In recent years, the treatment of melanoma has developed dramatically with the invention of new therapeutic agents, including immune checkpoint inhibitors and molecular-targeted agents. These agents are available as adjuvant therapies for postoperative patients with stage IIB, IIC, and III melanomas. Furthermore, neoadjuvant therapy has been studied in several global clinical trials and has demonstrated promising and favorable clinical efficacy, mainly in patients with palpable regional lymph nodes. A recent large phase III clinical trial investigating early lymph node dissection for sentinel lymph node metastases demonstrated no survival benefits. Based on these data, surgery should be reconsidered as an appropriate treatment modality for melanoma. The need for invasive surgical procedures will be reduced with the invention of effective adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies and novel clinical trial data on regional lymph node dissection. However, surgery still plays an important role in treating early-stage melanoma, accurately determining the disease stage, and effective palliative treatment for advanced melanoma. In this article, we focus on surgery for primary tumors, regional lymph nodes, and metastatic sites in an era of remarkably revolutionary drug treatments for melanoma."

In this paper, it was necessary to involve the patient's perspective of the nature of their QOL. The burden of being diagnosed with breast cancer is an adaptation to a new lifestyle, having to deal with disease stigma, interpersonal relations problems, and being limited to specific clothing. This can be very challenging for patients. This study aims to identify which patient group, based on their treatment regimen, exhibits higher levels of satisfaction and dissatisfaction compared to other groups. Methods A retrospective, cross-sectional study analyzing the QOL among female breast cancer patients who underwent mastectomy, with or without breast reconstruction, in King Abdulaziz Medical City, Jeddah, between 2009 and 2022. Patients' demographics and phone numbers were obtained from each patient's medical record file in our hospital. Phone call-based interviews were conducted to contact patients to assess their QOL, satisfaction, and regrets after surgery. We excluded patients who do not speak Arabic, are illiterate, have memory disorders, patients who underwent lumpectomy or palliative mastectomy, patients with metastatic stage 4 cancer at the time of diagnosis, patients who are males, and patients who passed away. Results A total of 2,309 patients were screened during the period aforementioned; a total of 346 patients met our inclusion criteria. All of whom are female participants with a current mean age of 52.3 ± 11.5 years. There were 301 (86.99%) participants reported being satisfied, while only 45 (13.01%) participants reported being unsatisfied with surgery outcomes. Although the majority of participants were satisfied after mastectomy, many of them still struggled with psychological, social, and/or emotional challenges. These challenges can have a significant impact on a patient's overall well-being and QOL and must be addressed to provide patients with the highest quality of care possible. Conclusion The study findings highlight the significant impact of mastectomy on patients' lives. It is important to consider individual patient experiences and circumstances when evaluating treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction. We observed that patient satisfaction may vary depending on several factors, including patients' baseline satisfaction. Those factors may be psychological, such as body image issues, low self-esteem, the feeling of losing a body part, and fear of recurrence or metastasis. Other factors may be postoperative-related complications, including lymphedema, redundant skin, chronic pain, and operation scar. Additionally, factors may be socially related, such as loss of confidence, social withdrawal, embarrassment, inability to buy prostheses, being limited to specific clothes, and occupational impact."

Its biological role has been described in various human cancer types, including malignant melanoma, but not in COM. Accordingly, in this study, we investigated miR-301a expression in COM in greater detail to ascertain whether it could serve as a diagnostic biomarker, elucidate its functional roles in this cancer, and predict the possible pathways by which it exerts its effects. Relative expression of miR-301a was investigated in clinical oral tissue and plasma samples and COM cell (KMeC and LMeC) lines using qRT-PCR. Knockdown of miR-301a was also validated for KMeC and LMeC cells using qRT-PCR. We performed CCK-8 assays to assess cell proliferation, monolayer wound-healing, and transwell migration assays to assess cell migration, a colony-formation assay to assess clonogenicity, a TUNEL assay and flow cytometry to assess apoptosis-related effects, and gene enrichment analyses to predict possible related pathways. miR-301a was markedly upregulated in COM oral tissue and plasma clinically, suggesting its potential as a diagnostic biomarker for COM diagnosis. In vitro assays demonstrated that miR-301 significantly inhibited apoptosis in COM cells while promoting cell migration, proliferation, and clonogenicity. We also predicted that miR-301 exerts cancer-promoting effects through the Wnt signalling pathway for COM. Our findings suggest that miR-301a is a COM oncomiR that regulates several oncogenic phenotypes with the potential to be a diagnostic biomarker."

+9336,skin cancer,38148123,A rare case of cutaneous lupus erythematosus presenting with periorbital erythema and edema.,"Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is an autoimmune skin disease that can manifest itself with a variety of skin symptoms. Periorbital erythema, a rare variant of CLE, presents challenges in terms of diagnosis and treatment. Here, we report a case of CLE presenting with periorbital erythema and edema. A 42-year-old female patient presented with complaints of erythema, edema, and scaling on the right eyelid that started four months ago. A skin biopsy was performed on the lesioned skin of the eyelid to differentiate dermatomyositis, cutaneous lupus erythematosus, sarcoidosis, lupus vulgaris, and cutaneous lymphoma. Histopathological examination revealed focal hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis on the surface of the epidermis, vacuolar degeneration in the basal layer of the epidermis, lymphocyte exocytosis with necrotic keratinocytes, edema in the dermis, melanophages, and perivascular, periadnexal lymphocytic reaction. Laboratory tests showed negative antinuclear antibody and anti-dsDNA, but positivity for anti-Ro-52. In the absence of any other complaints, the patient was diagnosed with cutaneous lupus erythematosus presenting with periorbital erythema based on clinical, histopathological, and laboratory findings. Hydroxychloroquine 200 mg/day, topical corticosteroid, and topical tacrolimus were administered. Two months later, significant improvement in the lesions was observed. In conclusion, it should be kept in mind that periorbital erythema can develop as a rare variant of CLE and can be misdiagnosed as contact dermatitis, dermatomyositis, sarcoidosis, or cutaneous lymphoma. Additionally, the ANA and anti-dsDNA antibodies are often found to be negative in these cases. In establishing the diagnosis, firstly considering the disease, followed by histopathological examinations and laboratory tests, is crucial."

The genesis of tumors, their progression and metastasis are highly complex and researched subjects; apparently, mast cells (MCs) constitute an important piece in the complicated jigsaw puzzle of cancer. This article reviews the current knowledge of the roles MCs might play in the development of cutaneous malignancies. Besides their well-known and studied role in allergic reactions, MCs are linked to multiple and various disorders, including cancer. MCs exhibit incredible heterogeneity, being able to secrete numerous mediators that influence the tumor microenvironment and tumor cells. They are involved in many physiological and pathological processes, such as inflammation and angiogenesis. In this context, it is paramount to explore the advancements made so far in elucidating the roles that MCs have in skin cancer because they might provide valuable therapeutic targets in the future. Controversial and conflicting results were obtained across the studies examined."

In this study, we integrated single-cell RNA-sequencing and bulk RNA-sequencing data as well as clinical information to study the role of individual fibroblast populations in systemic sclerosis (SSc). SSc skin demonstrated an increased abundance of COMP+, COL11A1+, MYOC+, CCL19+, SFRP4/SFRP2+, and PRSS23/SFRP2+ fibroblasts signatures and decreased proportions of CXCL12+ and PI16+ fibroblast signatures in the Prospective Registry of Early Systemic Sclerosis and Genetics versus Environment in Scleroderma Outcome Study cohorts. Numerical differences were confirmed by multicolor immunofluorescence for selected fibroblast populations. COMP+, COL11A1+, SFRP4/SFRP2+, PRSS23/SFRP2+, and PI16+ fibroblasts were similarly altered between normal wound healing and patients with SSc. The proportions of profibrotic COMP+, COL11A1+, SFRP4/SFRP2+, and PRSS23/SFRP2+ and proinflammatory CCL19+ fibroblast signatures were positively correlated with clinical and histopathological parameters of skin fibrosis, whereas signatures of CXCL12+ and PI16+ fibroblasts were inversely correlated. Incorporating the proportions of COMP+, COL11A1+, SFRP4/SFRP2+, and PRSS23/SFRP2+ fibroblast signatures into machine learning models improved the classification of patients with SSc into those with progressive versus stable skin fibrosis. In summary, the profound imbalance of fibroblast subpopulations in SSc may drive the progression of skin fibrosis. Specific targeting of disease-relevant fibroblast populations may offer opportunities for the treatment of SSc and other fibrotic diseases."

Its management, particularly in the head and neck (H&N) region, presents unique challenges. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) compared to wide local excision (WLE) in treating H&N DFSP and its impact on recurrence rates and tissue preservation. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, yielding 29 relevant studies. We included studies comparing MMS and WLE in adult patients with H&N DFSP and reporting local recurrence outcomes. Data were analyzed using random effects analysis, with a meta-analysis performed for comparative studies. Analysis of studies demonstrated a lower recurrence for MMS. Comparative analysis of five studies involving 117 patients showed a significantly lower recurrence rate in the MMS group (2%) compared to the WLE group (19%). Margin status varied between studies, with some achieving negative margins at shorter distances. In the management of H&N DFSP, MMS has emerged as a superior surgical technique, consistently associated with reduced recurrence rates and the potential for tissue preservation. The adoption of MMS should be considered for its capacity to achieve negative margins with fewer processing steps, particularly in anatomically complex regions like the H&N."

The aim of the study was a comparative assessment of the cytotoxicity of various lithium salts, as well as an analysis of the accumulation of lithium in tumor cells in vitro to determine the possibility of using lithium in NCT. The cytotoxicity of lithium salts was determined using MTT-test and colony forming assay on human fibroblasts BJ-5ta, human skin melanoma SK-Mel-28, and mouse skin melanoma B16 cell lines. An assessment of lithium concentration in cells was performed using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry.

She denied any other breast symptoms. Subsequent imaging classified it as a US Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 4A lesion. A core needle biopsy was performed showing atypical proliferating fragments of squamous epithelium suspicious for malignant neoplasm. An excisional biopsy was recommended. Gross examination showed a well-circumscribed pink soft mass measuring 2.0 x 1.4 x 1.3 cm. The entire lesion was submitted for histologic evaluation, demonstrating a neoplasm with branching stroma and exuberant squamous differentiation. The lesion exhibited obvious cytologic features of malignancy like mitotic figures, prominent nucleoli, irregular nuclei, and multinucleation. Collagen IV stain ruled out invasion. The lesion was finally classified as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in situ with the configuration of an intraductal papilloma. The possibility of metastatic disease was suggested. A PET scan was negative, and no other foci of disease were found in the remainder of the specimen. The mass was also independent of nipple and skin. Based on the architectural features, we believe that this is a case of an intraductal papilloma that underwent complete squamous metaplasia with no residual adenomyoepithelial components and transformation into an SCC in situ demonstrated by stains. Papillomas can undergo reactive metaplastic changes, usually benign and in small foci. This is the first reported case of exuberant squamous epithelium that transformed into carcinoma in situ with papillary architecture in the breast."

In this observational retrospective study of 51 children with PCM, we found a significantly higher rate of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in children of Hispanic ethnicity (4/21,19%) compared to non-Hispanics (0/30, 0%, p = 0.024). While this finding may reflect the high proportion of Hispanics in our population, a racial predisposition toward distinct systemic symptoms may be possible. We also found a significantly lower proportion of Hispanic children being diagnosed with PCM under the age of 3 years (47.6%) when compared with non-Hispanic children (76.7%, p = 0.03), suggesting that more data are needed to further assess the role of ethnicity and healthcare disparities in PCM diagnosis. Larger prospective studies are necessary to better evaluate the association between ethnicity, early diagnosis, and systemic symptoms in PCM and to describe its impact on long-term outcomes."

+9359,skin cancer,38145744,Identification of two novel heterodimeric ABC transporters in melanoma: ABCB5β/B6 and ABCB5β/B9.,"ABCB5 is a member of the ABC transporter superfamily composed of 48 transporters, which have been extensively studied for their role in cancer multidrug resistance and, more recently, in tumorigenesis. ABCB5 has been identified as a marker of skin progenitor cells, melanoma, and limbal stem cells. It has also been associated with multidrug resistance in several cancers. The unique feature of ABCB5 is that it exists as both a full transporter (ABCB5FL) and a half transporter (ABCB5β). Several studies have shown that the ABCB5β homodimer does not confer multidrug resistance, in contrast to ABCB5FL. In this study, using three complementary techniques, (1) nanoluciferase-based bioluminescence resonance energy transfer, (2) coimmunoprecipitation, and (3) proximity ligation assay, we identified two novel heterodimers in melanoma: ABCB5β/B6 and ABCB5β/B9. Both heterodimers could be expressed in High-Five insect cells and ATPase assays revealed that both functional nucleotide-binding domains of homodimers and heterodimers are required for their basal ATPase activity. These results are an important step toward elucidating the functional role of ABCB5β in melanocytes and melanoma."

The synergistic effect of the sequential release of drugs may enhance their therapeutic efficacy in treating skin cancer and other complex medical conditions. In this study, we prepared LbL films by alternating the deposition of cationic linear polyethylenimine, camptothecin (CPT)-loaded gold nanorods (GNRs), anionic poly(styrenesulfonate), and doxorubicin (DOX) based on electrostatic interactions. The film exhibited loading of CPT and DOX, which could be tuned according to the requirements of the application by changing the parameters of the LbL process. Herein, CPT was encapsulated in GNRs and showed good stability and absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) range (650-900 nm). The prepared LbL film showed a pH-dependent DOX release. Subsequently, the functionalized GNRs showed excellent photothermal properties, which assisted the on-demand release of CPT upon NIR irradiation with further release of DOX. Our results suggest that the LbL approach for sequential drug release can be an effective drug delivery platform owing to its cytocompatibility, anticancer effects, and stimuli-responsive properties."

However, with the limitation of an unavoidable defect at the RFFF donor site, split-thickness skin grafts (STSGs) have been a solution for repairing these defects, but they are not without challenges. This study aimed to evaluate an approach using full-thickness skin grafts (FTSGs), comparing their effectiveness in terms of aesthetics, pain, complications, and scarring. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies comparing FTSG with STSG for RFFF donor site repair in head and neck cancer patients were included. Primary outcomes measured were appearance and pain at the RFFF site, and secondary outcomes were infection, tendon exposure, graft loss, and scar assessment. A meta-analysis and systematic review of eight studies demonstrated that FTSG provided a superior aesthetic appearance at the RFFF donor site compared to STSG (p = 0.001), with low heterogeneity among the studies. The analysis found no significant difference in donor site pain between techniques. There were no significant differences in infection, tendon exposure, or skin graft loss between the two graft methods. This study suggests that FTSG is comparable to STSG in terms of donor site pain, scarring, and infection while offering superior aesthetic outcomes."
+9368,skin cancer,38142900,AIM2 inflammasome: A potential therapeutic target in ischemic stroke.,"Ischemic stroke (IS) is a significant global public health issue with a high incidence, disability, and mortality rate. A robust inflammatory cascade with complex and wide-ranging mechanisms occurs following ischemic brain injury. Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes in the cytoplasm that modulate the inflammatory response by releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines and inducing cellular pyroptosis. Among these inflammasomes, the Absent in Melanoma 2 (AIM2) inflammasome shows the ability to detect a wide range of pathogen DNAs, thereby triggering an inflammatory response. Recent studies have indicated that the aberrant expression of AIM2 inflammasome in various cells is closely associated with the pathological processes of ischemic brain injury. This paper summarizes the expression and regulatory role of AIM2 in CNS and peripheral immune cells and discusses current therapeutic approaches targeting AIM2 inflammasome. These findings aim to serve as a reference for future research in this field."

PLWH may have a higher risk of squamous cell carcinoma when compared to the general population. In addition, Merkel cell carcinoma and sebaceous carcinoma exhibit higher incidence rates in PLWH. Data on melanoma risk are varied. Risks of skin cancer may be influenced by vigilant surveillance, photosensitivity, and immune status. Screening for skin cancer is generally recommended, although national guidelines vary in specific recommendations. Treatments range from topical therapies to surgeries to immune checkpoint inhibitors, with Mohs micrographic surgery playing an important role.

Piperine had proven efficacy in fighting skin cancer cells. Unfortunately, this natural agent had limited ability to penetrate the skin. The aim of the current study was to formulate piperine-loaded limosomes and hyalurolimosomes incorporating limonene as an edge activator and hyaluronic acid as bioactive gelling agent for managing skin cancer. Titration method followed by homogenization was adopted to prepare the nanoliposomal formulations. Characterization involved size, & zeta potential measurements, examination using transmission electron microscope (TEM) and stability study. Biological evaluation of the antitumor activity of piperine nanoliposomal formulations against Ehrlich's (EAC) solid tumor was also performed. Drug loaded limosomes and hyalurolimosomes had particle size; 346.55 ± 8.55 & 372.70 ± 10.83 nm, respectively. Zeta potential was high enough to ensure their stability. TEM micrographs detected the surrounding layer of Hyaluronic acid formed around the spherical limosomal nano-carrier ensuring the formation of Hyalurolimosomes. All stored formulations showed non-significant differences compared with freshly prepared ones at p < 0.05. In addition, A DAD-HPLC method was developed and validated for Piperine analysis in the skin. Upon application of this method, it was found that hyalurolimosomes deliver double the concentration delivered by limosomes. The piperine hyalurolimosome group showed a significant reduction in tumor size with a smaller AUC compared to piperine gel, which was confirmed by in vivo studies. Consequently, hyalurolimosomes loaded with piperine is considered a promising nanocarrier system and a step forward better management of skin cancer introducing new hope in beating this deadly disease."

Although adipose tissue is a recognized site of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, its role in the histopathology of leprosy was, until now, unknown. We analyzed the M. leprae capacity to infect and persist inside adipocytes, characterizing the induction of a lipolytic phenotype in adipocytes, as well as the effect of these infected cells on macrophage recruitment. We evaluated 3T3-L1-derived adipocytes, inguinal adipose tissue of SWR/J mice, and subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies of leprosy patients. M. leprae was able to infect 3T3-L1-derived adipocytes in vitro, presenting a strong lipolytic profile after infection, followed by significant cholesterol efflux. This lipolytic phenotype was replicated in vivo by M. leprae injection into mice inguinal adipose tissue. Furthermore, M. leprae was detected inside crown-like structures in the subcutaneous adipose tissue of multibacillary patients. These data indicate that subcutaneous adipose tissue could be an important site of infection, and probably persistence, for M. leprae, being involved in the modulation of the innate immune control in leprosy via the release of cholesterol, MCP-1, and adiponectin."

Resistance of cancers and other diseases to drug treatment can occur owing to expression of the ATP-dependent multidrug transporters ABCB1, ABCG2, and ABCC1, either because of expression of these transporters by the target cells to reduce intracellular concentrations of cytotoxic drugs at barrier sites such as the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to limit penetration of drugs into privileged compartments, or by affecting the absorption, distribution, and excretion of drugs administered orally, through the skin, or directly into the bloodstream. We describe the drug specificity, cellular localization, and function of zebrafish orthologs of multidrug resistance ABC transporters with the goal of developing zebrafish models to explore the physiological and pathophysiological functions of these transporters. Finally, we provide context demonstrating the utility of zebrafish in studying cancer drug resistance.

Our results showed that no HER2 but p53 was detected in Majorlin's ulcer samples. Meanwhile, by statistical analysis, we found that the positive rate of p53 in Majorlin's ulcer samples was associated with the pathological type of ulcer canceration and degree of tumor differentiation. The positive expression rate of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was 62.5% in poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), 39.4% in moderately differentiated SCC, and 66.7% in well-differentiated SCC, respectively. Furthermore, some cases of Majorlin's ulcer with positive P53 were negative for VEGF, while some cases with positive VEGF were negative for P53. Image superposition showed that VEGF expression was absent or minimal in p53-positive cases. However, P53 was not expressed or rarely expressed in VEGF-positive cases. Our results of this study will suggest that P53 can be used as the mark of Marjolin's ulcer differentiation, and there may be some interaction between P53 and VEGF in Marjolin's ulcer. The regulation of microenvironment in the oncogenesis, progression, and differentiation of Marjolin's ulcer is complex and needs further study."

In melanomas harboring NRAS mutations, PDE4 upregulation has been shown to trigger a switch in signaling from BRAF to RAF1 which leads to mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway activation. Previous in vitro evidence showed that PDE4 inhibition induced death in NRASQ61mut melanoma cells and such a strategy may thus be a relevant therapeutic option in those cases with no molecular targeted therapies approved to date. In this study, we generated patient-derived xenografts (PDX) from two NRASQ61mut melanoma lesions. We performed ex vivo histoculture drug response assays and in vivo experiments. A significant ex vivo inhibition of proliferation with the combination of roflumilast+cobimetinib was observed compared to dimethyl sulfoxide control in both models (51 and 67%). This antiproliferative effect was confirmed in vivo for PDX-1 with a 56% inhibition of tumor growth. To decipher molecular mechanisms underlying this effect, we performed transcriptomic analyses and revealed a decrease in MKI67, RAF1 and CCND1 expression under bitherapy. Our findings strengthen the therapeutic interest of PDE4 inhibitors and support further experiments to evaluate this approach in metastatic melanoma."

Its introduction was a breakthrough in the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, but it is also used in other inflammatory diseases, including asthma, eosinophilic esophagitis and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis. Recent advances in the understanding of inflammatory pathways have revealed that Th2-type inflammation is involved in a wider range of diseases than previously thought. The aim of our review is to examine off-label therapeutic indications of dupilumab, including bullous dermatoses (pemphigus, bullous pemphigoid) and alopecia areata, and to investigate its potential applications in cancer patients on anti-PD1 therapy."
+9380,skin cancer,38141179,"The role of artificial intelligence and convolutional neural networks in the management of melanoma: a clinical, pathological, and radiological perspective.","Clinical dermatoscopy and pathological slide assessment are essential in the diagnosis and management of patients with cutaneous melanoma. For those presenting with stage IIC disease and beyond, radiological investigations are often considered. The dermatoscopic, whole slide and radiological images used during clinical care are often stored digitally, enabling artificial intelligence (AI) and convolutional neural networks (CNN) to learn, analyse and contribute to the clinical decision-making. A keyword search of the Medline database was performed to assess the progression, capabilities and limitations of AI and CNN and its use in diagnosis and management of cutaneous melanoma. Full-text articles were reviewed if they related to dermatoscopy, pathological slide assessment or radiology. Through analysis of 95 studies, we demonstrate that diagnostic accuracy of AI/CNN can be superior (or at least equal) to clinicians. However, variability in image acquisition, pre-processing, segmentation, and feature extraction remains challenging. With current technological abilities, AI/CNN and clinicians synergistically working together are better than one another in all subspecialty domains relating to cutaneous melanoma. AI has the potential to enhance the diagnostic capabilities of junior dermatology trainees, primary care skin cancer clinicians and general practitioners. For experienced clinicians, AI provides a cost-efficient second opinion. From a pathological and radiological perspective, CNN has the potential to improve workflow efficiency, allowing clinicians to achieve more in a finite amount of time. Until the challenges of AI/CNN are reliably met, however, they can only remain an adjunct to clinical decision-making."

We report an exceptional collision tumor composed of a genetically confirmed malignant glomus tumor and a fumarate hydratase (FH)-deficient leiomyoma, presenting as a subcutaneous thigh mass in a 38-year-old male who was known to have hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma syndrome. Microscopic examination identified a biphasic subcutaneous mass comprising sheets and nodules of glomus cells, with nuclear atypia and mitotic activity, and fascicles of mitotically inactive smooth muscle with variably pleomorphic nuclei and intracytoplasmic eosinophilic inclusions, features of FH-deficient leiomyoma. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated loss of FH and robust 2-succinocysteine expression in the smooth muscle, with a normal (FH-retained) expression pattern in the glomus tumor. Next-generation sequencing, performed on the glomus tumor component, identified CARMN::NOTCH2 fusion, characteristic of malignant glomus tumors. Awareness of the distinctive morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular genetic features of glomus tumors and FH-deficient leiomyomas is important for correct clinical management of patients with exceptional collision tumors of this type."
+9384,skin cancer,38140907,Giant cell collagenoma in a patient with Cowden syndrome: A rare case report and literature review with a focus on the spectrum of sclerotic fibroma and giant cell collagenoma.,"Sclerotic fibroma (SF) is a rare subset of dermal fibromas that occurs sporadically or in association with Cowden syndrome (CS). We report a case of a patient with known CS and a solitary lesion on the scalp. Histologic examination demonstrated a well-circumscribed lesion with sclerotic dermis and a whorled collagen pattern, multinucleated giant cells, and dendritic spindle cells. Nuclear atypia or mitotic figures were not noted. The giant cells were negative for Melan-A, SOX-10, EMA, SOX-10, and factor XIIIa. These findings are consistent with a giant cell collagenoma (GCC). Despite possible overlap with SF, GCC has not been associated with CS. This makes our case unique and suggests that GCC should be included in the spectrum of CS-associated cutaneous lesions. The diagnosis of SF may lead to the identification of previously undiagnosed CS; accordingly, GCC, even when present as a solitary lesion, may indicate the need for further work-up and screening for CS."

Appearance concerns related to these physical changes can lead to psychological distress and poorer quality of life. While many neurofibromatosis 1 clinical trials focus on assessing changes in tumor volume, evaluating patients' perspectives on corresponding changes in symptoms such as physical appearance can be key secondary outcomes.

Acquisition and analysis of clinical data and RNA sequencing information from The Cancer Genome Atlas-SKCM (TCGA-SKCM) and Sangerbox databases, gene expression data for 477 tumor samples and 2 normal samples were successfully gathered. The patients were separated into two clusters based on consensus clustering of PCD-related genes, with Cluster A having greater tumor purity, ESTIMATE score, immune score, and matrix score, and Cluster B having a significantly distinct pattern of immune cell infiltration. The use of gene set enrichment analysis and weighted correlation network analysis showed significant associations between certain genes and factors such as tumor mutation burden, age, stage, grade, and tumor subtype. Finally, based on the 12 genes selected by Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator regression analysis (STAT3, IRF2, SLC7A11, ZEB1, LIPT1, PML, GCH1, GYS1, ABCC1, XBP1, TFAP2C, NOX4), a prognostic model of PGD-related genes was constructed. The effectiveness of the model's prognostic value was confirmed through survival analysis, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve, single-factor Cox regression analysis, and nomogram. We also verified the relationship between the GCH1 and MKI67 expression by wet experiment. This model has high prediction accuracy in SKCM patients and can provide a reference for clinical treatment."
+9389,skin cancer,38140699,Results from the first autologous grafting of adult human testis tissue: a case report.,"Fertility restoration using autologous testicular tissue transplantation is relevant for infertile men surviving from childhood cancer and, possibly, in men with absent or incomplete spermatogenesis resulting in the lack of spermatozoa in the ejaculate (non-obstructive azoospermia, NOA). Currently, testicular tissue from pre-pubertal boys extracted before treatment with gonadotoxic cancer therapy can be cryopreserved with good survival of spermatogonial stem cells. However, strategies for fertility restoration, after successful cancer treatment, are still experimental and no clinical methods have yet been developed. Similarly, no clinically available treatments can help men with NOA to become biological fathers after failed attempts of testicular surgical sperm retrieval. We present a case of a 31-year-old man with NOA who had three pieces of testis tissue (each ∼2 × 4 × 2 mm3) extracted and cryopreserved in relation to performing microdissection testicular sperm extraction (mTESE). Approximately 2 years after mTESE, the thawed tissue pieces were engrafted in surgically created pockets bilaterally under the scrotal skin. Follow-up was performed after 2, 4, and 6 months with assessment of reproductive hormones and ultrasound of the scrotum. After 6 months, all engrafted tissue was extracted and microscopically analyzed for the presence of spermatozoa. Furthermore, parts of the extracted tissue were analyzed histologically and by immunohistochemical analysis. Active blood flow in the engrafted tissue was demonstrated by doppler ultrasound after 6 months. No spermatozoa were found in the extracted tissue. Histological and immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated graft survival with intact clear tubules and normal cell organization. Sertoli cells and spermatocytes with normal morphology were located near the basement membrane. MAGE-A and VASA positive spermatogonia/spermatocytes were detected together with SOX9 positive Sertoli cells. Spermatocytes and/or Sertoli cells positive for γH2AX was also detected. In summary, following autologous grafting of frozen-thawed testis tissue under the scrotal skin in a man with NOA, we demonstrated graft survival after 6 months. No mature spermatozoa were detected; however, this is likely due to the pre-existing spermatogenic failure."

In this study, we assessed the efficacy of a photosensitizer called Chlorophyll A (Chl-A) incorporated into hydrogels (HGs) made of chitosan (CS) and poloxamer 407 (P407) for Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) against the murine melanoma cell line B16-F10. The HG was evaluated through various tests, including rheological studies, SEM, and ATR-FTIR, along with cell viability assays.

Inhibiting FAAH (fatty acid amide hydrolase), the degradation enzyme of the endocannabinoid anandamide (AEA) leads to the increase in AEA levels, thus enhancing its biological effects. Here, we evaluated the anticancer property of the FAAH inhibitor URB597, investigating its potential to counteract epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process crucially involved in tumor progression. The effects of the compound were determined in primary human keratinocytes, ex vivo skin explants, and the squamous carcinoma cell line A431. Our results demonstrate that URB597 is able to hinder the EMT process by downregulating mesenchymal markers and reducing migratory potential. These effects are associated with the dampening of the AKT/STAT3 signal pathways and reduced release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and tumorigenic lipid species. The ability of URB597 to contrast the EMT process provides insight into effective approaches that may also include the use of FAAH inhibitors for the treatment of skin cancers."
+9395,skin cancer,38139173,CD147/Basigin Is Involved in the Development of Malignant Tumors and T-Cell-Mediated Immunological Disorders via Regulation of Glycolysis.,"CD147/Basigin, a transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily, is a multifunctional molecule with various binding partners. CD147 binds to monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) and supports their expression on plasma membranes. MTC-1 and MCT-4 export the lactic acid that is converted from pyruvate in glycolysis to maintain the intracellular pH level and a stable metabolic state. Under physiological conditions, cellular energy production is induced by mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Glycolysis usually occurs under anaerobic conditions, whereas cancer cells depend on glycolysis under aerobic conditions. T cells also require glycolysis for differentiation, proliferation, and activation. Human malignant melanoma cells expressed higher levels of MCT-1 and MCT-4, co-localized with CD147 on the plasma membrane, and showed an increased glycolysis rate compared to normal human melanocytes. CD147 silencing by siRNA abrogated MCT-1 and MCT-4 membrane expression and disrupted glycolysis, inhibiting cancer cell activity. Furthermore, CD147 is involved in psoriasis. MCT-1 was absent on CD4"

ICIs can be used in various settings, including first-line, adjuvant, and neo-adjuvant therapy. In the scope of this review, we examined clinical studies utilizing ICIs in the context of treating oral mucosal melanoma, a rare disease, albeit with an extremely poor prognosis, with a specific focus on unraveling the intricate web of resistance mechanisms. The absence of a comprehensive review focusing on ICIs in oral mucosal melanoma is notable. Therefore, this review seeks to address this deficiency by offering a novel and thorough analysis of the current status, potential resistance mechanisms, and future prospects of applying ICIs specifically to oral malignant melanoma. Clarifying and thoroughly understanding these mechanisms will facilitate the advancement of effective therapeutic approaches and enhance the prospects for patients suffering from oral mucosal melanoma."

In this study, using melanoma A375, colon adenocarcinoma HT-29 and normal human dermal fibroblast (NHDF) cells, we tested the hypothesis that the quaternary ammonium surfactants 2-dodecanoyloxyethyl)trimethylammonium bromide (DMM-11), 2-dodecanoyloxypropyl)trimethylammonium bromide (DMPM-11) and 2-pentadecanoyloxymethyl)trimethylammonium bromide (DMGM-14) act selectively against cancer cells. The results showed that these compounds led to the initiation of the apoptotic process of programmed cell death, as evidenced by the ratio of the relative expression of Bax protein to Bcl-2. The encapsulation of surfactants in liposomes allowed lower concentrations to be used. Moreover, encapsulation reduced their toxicity towards non-cancerous cells. The anticancer efficiency and apoptotic effect of the liposomal formulations with surfactants (DMM-11, DMPM-11 and DMGM-14) were higher than those of surfactant-free liposomes. Therefore, quaternary ammonium surfactant-loaded liposomes show significant potential as delivery vehicles for the treatment of melanoma and colon cancers. The use of nano-formulations offers the advantage of optimizing quaternary ammonium surfactant delivery for improved anticancer therapy."

Perineal wound morbidity, particularly in extralevator abominoperineal excision, leads to complications and local infection rates of up to 40%. Strategies to reduce postoperative wound complications are being pursued to address this issue. The VRAM flap remains the gold standard for autologous reconstruction after pelvic oncological resection; it was initially designed for abdominal wall defects and later expanded for large pelvic tissue defects. The flap's application is based on its physical characteristics, including abundant tissue and a generous skin paddle, which effectively obliterates dead space after exenterations. The generous skin paddle offers good cosmetic and functional outcomes at the recipient site. This article describes the case of a patient histopathologically diagnosed with stage IIIA squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix who received multimodal onco-surgical treatment. The surgical mainstay of this treatment is pelvic exenteration. Pelvic reconstruction after this major surgery was performed using a vertical flap with the rectus abdominis."

We analyzed cancer incidence using the Maccabi Healthcare Service (MHS) electronic health records among 264 patients with GD compared to 3440 matched controls. We ascertained cancers diagnosed before and after the index date (i.e., the first documentation of GD in cases and the corresponding date for controls). Before the index date, cancers were diagnosed in 18 individuals, with 11 (4.2%) in the GD group and 7 (0.2%) in the control group. After the index date, cancers were diagnosed in 57 individuals, with 20 (7.9%) in the GD group and 37 (1.1%) in the control group, with a median follow-up of almost 13 years in both groups. The most common cancers diagnosed in GD were non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) and hematological malignancies, with a clustering of diagnoses around the time of GD diagnosis. The incidence of cancers (excluding MNSC) was 4.1 (95% CI 2.2-7.1) and 0.7 (95% CI 0.4-0.9) per 1000 patient-years in the GD and control groups, respectively, with an incidence rate ratio of 6.37 (95% CI 3-12.7). Patients with GD underwent more cancer screening tests than their counterparts in the control group. While our study revealed an increased occurrence of cancers in patients with GD, this finding might be partly attributed to the more rigorous surveillance procedures employed in this patient population."

Primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis (PLCA) is a chronic dermatologic condition with amyloid deposits in the papillary dermis. The most common types of the keratinocyte-derived form of PLCA include macular (MA), lichen (LA), and biphasic (BA) amyloidosis. The estimated prevalence of PLCA in the Asian population is 0.98/10,000, which is higher than in the European population; thus, epidemiologic data on PLCA in the Caucasian population are limited. We performed a retrospective single-center study analyzing epidemiologic characteristics of a Central European PLCA population. Epidemiologic data regarding age, sex, skin phototype (Fitzpatrick scale I-VI), disease duration, comorbidities, history of atopy, and family history of PLCA were collected. Clinical characteristics, localization of PLCA lesions, applied therapies and treatment outcomes were also analyzed. Dermoscopic characteristics were also evaluated. A total of 41 patients diagnosed with PLCA were included, with 22 presenting with macular, 18 with lichen, and 1 with biphasic amyloidosis. The male/female ratio was 16/25, and mean age at diagnosis was 54.6 ± 15.2 years (range 27-87 years). The mean age at the onset of PLCA was 53 ± 16.1 years (range 19-79 years) in MA, 46.7 ± 18.2 years (range 14-73 years) in LA, and 26 years in BA. The interscapular region in MA and the extensor surface of the lower extremities in LA proved to be localization-related areas. In our center, a wide range of therapeutic options was applied, with the most prescribed being topical corticosteroids in all types of PLCA. We presented a retrospective, monocentric study on the epidemiology of PLCA in the Central European region. By examining the medical data of a significant number of PLCA patients, we compared our epidemiologic data with that of the Asian PLCA population. Due to the rarity of the condition, further randomized controlled trials and guidelines are needed to improve therapeutic outcomes."

Early-stage true perianal tumors are very uncommon and have been rarely included in clinical trials. Perianal skin cancers and aCCs are included in the same tumor classification, even though they have different lymphatic drainage features. Furthermore, pSCCs are treated similarly to carcinomas originating from the anal canal. Radiation therapy (RT) is an essential treatment for anal canal tumors. Guidelines do not differentiate between treatment volumes for perianal tumors and anal cancers. So far, in pSCC, no study has considered modulating treatment volume selection according to the stage of the disease.

However, recent advances in research in cancer biology and immunity have led to the development of immunotherapy, which is now used on an everyday basis in cancer treatment in addition to surgical treatment, classical cytostatics, and radiotherapy. The efficacy of immunotherapy has promoted the great popularity of this treatment among patients, as well as significant research interest. The increasing number of patients being treated with immunotherapy not only reassures physicians of the efficacy of this technique but also shows the wide spectrum of side effects of this therapy, which has not been considered before. Immune-related adverse events may affect many systems and organs, such as digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, skin, or endocrine organs. Most complications have a mild or moderate course, but there are life-threatening manifestations that are essential to be aware of because if they are not properly diagnosed and treated on time, they can have fatal consequences. The purpose of this paper was to present the results of a literature review on the current state of knowledge on life-threatening endocrine side effects (such as adrenal crisis, thyroid storm, myxoedema crisis, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe hypocalcaemia) of immune checkpoint inhibitors to provide information on symptoms, diagnostics, and management strategies."

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatments have revolutionized the management of the disease by significantly increasing patient survival rates. However, a considerable number of tumors treated with these drugs fail to respond or may develop resistance over time. Tumor growth and its response to therapies are critically influenced by the tumor microenvironment (TME); it directly supports cancer cell growth and influences the behavior of surrounding immune cells, which can become tumor-permissive, thereby rendering immunotherapies ineffective. Ex vivo modeling of melanomas and their response to treatment could significantly advance our understanding and predictions of therapy outcomes. Efforts have been directed toward developing reliable models that accurately mimic melanoma in its appropriate tissue environment, including tumor organoids, bioprinted tissue constructs, and microfluidic devices. However, incorporating and modeling the melanoma TME and immune component remains a significant challenge. Here, we review recent literature regarding the generation of in vitro 3D models of normal skin and melanoma and the approaches used to incorporate the immune compartment in such models. We discuss how these constructs could be combined and used to test immunotherapies and elucidate treatment resistance mechanisms. The development of 3D in vitro melanoma models that faithfully replicate the complexity of the TME and its interaction with the immune system will provide us with the technical tools to better understand ICI resistance and increase its efficacy, thereby improving personalized melanoma therapy."
+9415,skin cancer,38136297,"A Review of Advanced Cutaneous Melanoma Therapies and Their Mechanisms, from Immunotherapies to Lysine Histone Methyl Transferase Inhibitors.","Advanced cutaneous melanoma is considered to be the most aggressive type of skin cancer and has variable rates of treatment response. Currently, there are some classes of immunotherapy and target therapies for its treatment. Immunotherapy can inhibit tumor growth and its recurrence by triggering the host's immune system, whereas targeted therapy inhibits specific molecules or signaling pathways. However, melanoma responses to these treatments are highly heterogeneous, and patients can develop resistance. Epigenomics (DNA/histone modifications) contribute to cancer initiation and progression. Epigenetic alterations are divided into four levels of gene expression regulation: DNA methylation, histone modification, chromatin remodeling, and non-coding RNA regulation. Deregulation of lysine methyltransferase enzymes is associated with tumor initiation, invasion, development of metastases, changes in the immune microenvironment, and drug resistance. The study of lysine histone methyltransferase (KMT) and nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) inhibitors is important for understanding cancer epigenetic mechanisms and biological processes. In addition to immunotherapy and target therapy, the research and development of KMT and NNMT inhibitors is ongoing. Many studies are exploring the therapeutic implications and possible side effects of these compounds, in addition to their adjuvant potential to the approved current therapies. Importantly, as with any drug development, safety, efficacy, and specificity are crucial considerations when developing methyltransferase inhibitors for clinical applications. Thus, this review article presents the recently available therapies and those in development for advanced cutaneous melanoma therapy."

GB genesis and progression are driven by glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs). One goal for improving treatment efficacy and patient outcomes is targeting GSCs. Currently, there are no universal markers for GSCs. Glycoprotein A repetitions predominant (GARP), an anti-inflammatory protein expressed by activated regulatory T cells, was identified as a possible marker for GSCs. This study evaluated GARP for the detection of human GSCs utilizing a multidimensional experimental design that replicated several features of GB: (1) intratumoral heterogeneity, (2) cellular hierarchy (GSCs with varied degrees of self-renewal and differentiation), and (3) longitudinal GSC evolution during GB recurrence (GSCs from patient-matched newly diagnosed and recurrent GB). Our results indicate that GARP is expressed by GSCs across various cellular states and disease stages. GSCs with an increased GARP expression had reduced self-renewal but no alterations in proliferative capacity or differentiation commitment. Rather, GARP correlated inversely with the expression of GFAP and PDGFR-α, markers of astrocyte or oligodendrocyte differentiation. GARP had an abnormal nuclear localization (GARP"

Bioactive compounds represent an alternative for preventing this oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to elucidate the impact of blood groups on the erythroprotective potential of fucoxanthin, β-Carotene, gallic acid, quercetin and ascorbic acid as therapeutic agents against oxidative stress. The impact of ABO blood groups on the erythroprotective potential was evaluated via the antioxidant capacity, blood biocompatibility, blood susceptibility and erythroprotective potential (membrane stabilization, in vitro photostability and antihemolytic activity). All tested antioxidants exhibited a high antioxidant capacity and presented the ability to inhibit ROO•-induced oxidative stress without compromising the cell membrane, providing erythroprotective effects dependent on the blood group, effects that increased in the presence of antigen A. These results are very important, since it has been documented that antigen A is associated with breast and skin cancer. These results revealed a probable relationship between different erythrocyte antigens with erythroprotective potential, highlighting the importance of bio-targeted drugs for groups most susceptible to certain chronic-degenerative pathologies. These compounds could be applied as additive, nutraceutical or encapsulated to improve their bioaccessibility."
+9418,skin cancer,38136020,Enhancing Skin Lesion Detection: A Multistage Multiclass Convolutional Neural Network-Based Framework.,"The early identification and treatment of various dermatological conditions depend on the detection of skin lesions. Due to advancements in computer-aided diagnosis and machine learning approaches, learning-based skin lesion analysis methods have attracted much interest recently. Employing the concept of transfer learning, this research proposes a deep convolutional neural network (CNN)-based multistage and multiclass framework to categorize seven types of skin lesions. In the first stage, a CNN model was developed to classify skin lesion images into two classes, namely benign and malignant. In the second stage, the model was then used with the transfer learning concept to further categorize benign lesions into five subcategories (melanocytic nevus, actinic keratosis, benign keratosis, dermatofibroma, and vascular) and malignant lesions into two subcategories (melanoma and basal cell carcinoma). The frozen weights of the CNN developed-trained with correlated images benefited the transfer learning using the same type of images for the subclassification of benign and malignant classes. The proposed multistage and multiclass technique improved the classification accuracy of the online ISIC2018 skin lesion dataset by up to 93.4% for benign and malignant class identification. Furthermore, a high accuracy of 96.2% was achieved for subclassification of both classes. Sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F1-score metrics further validated the effectiveness of the proposed multistage and multiclass framework. Compared to existing CNN models described in the literature, the proposed approach took less time to train and had a higher classification rate."

A comparison of the structural basis of ceramide-dependent regulation of sphingolipid biosynthesis in animals, plants, and fungi.","Sphingolipids are a diverse class of lipids with essential functions as determinants of membrane physical properties and as intra- and intercellular signaling agents. Disruption of the normal biochemical processes that establish the levels of individual sphingolipids is associated with a variety of human diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease, skin diseases, and lysosomal storage diseases. A unique aspect of this metabolic network is that there is a single enzymatic step that initiates the biosynthetic pathway for all sphingolipids. This step is catalyzed by the enzyme serine palmitoyltranserase (SPT). Under most circumstances SPT condenses serine and the 16-carbon acyl-CoA, palmitoyl-CoA to produce the precursor of all sphingolipids. SPT, a four-subunit protein complex, is subject to classic feedback regulation: when cellular sphingolipids are elevated, SPT activity is inhibited. Ceramide is the sphingolipid sensed by this system and it regulates SPT by directly binding to the complex. The ceramide binding site in the SPT complex, and how ceramide binding results in SPT inhibition, has now been determined in vertebrates, plants, and yeast using molecular modeling and cryo-electron microscopy. Here we discuss the similarities and differences revealed by these resolved structures and the surprising result that ceramide binds at almost identical positions in the SPT complex of these divergent organisms, but accomplishes SPT regulation in very different ways."

+9425,skin cancer,38135128,The emerging roles of PD-L1 subcellular localization in tumor immune evasion.,"Targeting immune checkpoint PD-1 or its ligand PD-L1 blockade has achieved a great therapeutic effect in a variety of cancer types. However, the overall response rate and duration are still limited for intrinsic and acquired resistance. There is an urgent need to understand the underlying mechanism. Studies showed that PD-L1 regulation is related to the response to PD-1 monoclonal antibodies (PD-1 mAB). Interestingly, emerging studies found that the different distribution of PD-L1 has distinct functions in tumor through the specific signaling pathways. Thus, controlling the distribution of PD-L1 provides an attractive therapeutic strategy for enhancing PD-1 mAB efficiency and rewiring the resistance. Here, we review the recent studies about the role and regulation of PD-L1 distribution from synthesis to surface delivery, internalization, recycling, or lysosome degradation and translocated into the nucleus or secreted into the extracellular space. We place this knowledge in the context of observations in the clinic and discuss the potential therapeutic strategies to enhance the efficacy of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy."
+9426,skin cancer,38134971,Development of a Pipeline for Removing Allergy Labels in Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.,"Penicillin allergy is reported by 10% to 20 % of patients, but when evaluated only 1% to 2% may have a true allergy. Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have a high likelihood of requiring beta-lactam antibiotics due to increased infection risk, which can be limited by a penicillin allergy label. When a penicillin allergy is recorded, alternatives are needed, including more expensive broader-spectrum antibiotics, with increases in drug-resistant bacteria, longer hospital stays, higher expenditures, and increases in nosocomial infections, such as Clostridium difficile colitis. This group of patients already undergoes extensive pretreatment testing and would especially benefit from allergy delabeling. This study aimed to develop a self-sustaining, low-cost pipeline between an HSCT clinic and an allergy clinic to identify and successfully delabel low-risk patients who endorse an allergy to penicillin, amoxicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, piperacillin-tazobactam, or ampicillin before admission to the hospital. We developed a survey to triage allergy risk, identified key stakeholders in building the pipeline, and underwent 4 plan, do, study, act (PDSA) cycles. Changes were made in each of the PDSA cycles to minimize cost and uncompensated provider time, as well as to increase patient retention throughout the pipeline by increasing appointment availability and decreasing reliance on patients to independently progress through the pathway. Of the 410 patients with planned HSCT who were screened over 11 months, 89 (21.7%) were listed as having a penicillin and/or beta lactam allergy. All but 1 (66 of 67; 98.5%) of the participants completed the survey accurately when confirmed by an allergist, and the survey was 100% accurate in predicting delabeling success in low-risk patients. Of eligible patients, 43.8% (n = 39) were successfully delabeled before their transplant date, and 97.4% of these (n = 38) have undergone HSCT to date. This pipeline is maintained by approximately 5 hours of work per week (1 hour of allergy physician time, 4 hours of nurse and/or clinical coordinator time), with no other direct costs. There is an estimated direct savings of at least $1914.93 per patient delabeled. We successfully designed and implemented a pipeline between the HSCT clinic and the allergy clinic as a quality improvement initiative to identify and address high rates of reported beta-lactam allergies. We identified and addressed patient-based factors, logistical, temporal, and financial barriers that impacted patient retention and sustainability. This model is expected to yield significant and sustained cost savings for the healthcare system as well as to improve patient outcomes, and this hypothesis is currently undergoing formal analysis. We anticipate that this model can be used to create a similar pipeline in other healthcare systems for HSCT recipients, as well as patients in other clinical settings, such as oncology and chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy."

Skin pigmentation is a natural shield against ultraviolet-induced DNA damage and oxidative stress, pivotal in reducing skin cancer incidences. Studies on B16F10 melanoma cells and zebrafish offer valuable insights into potential therapeutic avenues for melanoma in the context of phenol exposure. Upon phenol treatment, there was a marked decrease in melanin content and melanogenesis-associated protein expression, such as tyrosinase and the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) in these melanoma cells. Additionally, phenols led to diminished p38 phosphorylation, amplified extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation, and curtailed melanin expression in zebrafish. These observations underscore the detrimental impact of phenols on melanogenesis and propose a mechanism of action centered on the ERK/p38 signaling pathway. Consequently, our data spotlight the adverse effects of phenols on melanogenesis."""

It has been reported that the F-box protein FBXO3 functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase in regulating various biological processes, including host autoimmune, antiviral innate immunity, and inflammatory response. However, the role of FBXO3 in tumor metastasis remains elusive. We have previously shown that ΔNp63α is a common inhibitory target in oncogene-induced cell motility and tumor metastasis. In this study, we show that FBXO3 plays a vital role in PI3K-mediated breast cancer metastasis independent of its E3 ligase activity and ΔNp63α in breast cancer cells and in mouse. FBXO3 can bind to and stabilize USP4, leading to Twist1 protein stabilization and increased breast cancer cell migration and tumor metastasis. Mechanistically, FBXO3 disrupts the interaction between USP4 and aspartyl aminopeptidase (DNPEP), thereby protecting USP4 from DNPEP-mediated degradation. Furthermore, p110αH1047R facilitates the phosphorylation and stabilization of FBXO3 in an ERK1-dependent manner. Knockdown of either FBXO3 or USP4 leads to significant inhibition of PI3K-induced breast cancer metastasis. Clinically, elevated expression of p110α/FBXO3/USP4/Twist1 is associated with poor overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) of breast cancer patients. Taken together, this study reveals that the FBXO3-USP4-Twist1 axis is pivotal in PI3K-mediated breast tumor metastasis and that FBXO3/USP4 may be potential therapeutic targets for breast cancer treatment."

The present study aims to identify the association between the immunohistochemical p14-p16 profile, the molecular CDKN2A findings and clinically diagnosed familial or multiple primary melanomas (MPM). We conducted a 5-year retrospective cross-sectional study, on patients diagnosed with familial or MPM. P14 and p16 immunohistochemical staining has been applied on the selected surgical specimens simultaneously with the performance of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) CDKN2A testing. 13 out of the 23 included cases displayed p14 and/or p16 immunohistochemical absence and the main positive relationships were encountered between CDKN2A homozygous deletion and p14 ± p16 negative immunoreactions. Cases with exclusive p16 absent reaction (n = 7) were more frequently associated with the presence of distant metastases (85.71%), while samples with exclusive p14 immunohistochemical loss exhibited more favorable histopathological prognostic markers. The average percentage of p16-stained nuclei in the superficial dermis and the deep dermis were equal (29.54% for each), therefore infirming its potential predictive and/or prognostic utility. The present study is the first of its type to approach the clinical, evolutionary and immunophenotypic correlations between p14-p16 immunohistochemical testing, CDKN2A molecular biology pattern, familial melanoma and spontaneous MPM in a cohort of Romanian patients. This analysis highlighted the value of singular p16 immunohistochemical absence as a predictor for aggressive biological behavior and unfavorable prognosis in familial melanoma and/or MPM, in comparison with the exclusive loss of p14, indifferent to the histopathological subtype. The present study emphasizes the utility of immunohistochemistry as a less expensive method of complementing the current testing arsenal and could represent the starting point for the elaboration of tailored diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms, based on the discovered p14-p16-CDKN2A significant correlation."

Our study population included 13 patients who underwent primary curettage for osteoid osteoma using intraoperative CBCT in a hybrid operating room between April 2019 and November 2022. We collected the following data: sex, age, follow-up period, symptom onset to time of surgery, tumor size and location, length of skin incision, operating time, radiation dose, recurrence, postoperative complications, and visual analog scale for pain during the last follow-up. There were 10 male and 3 female patients, and the mean age was 25.0 years (range, 9-49 years). The mean follow-up period was 10.6 months (range, 0.4-24.0 months). The locations of the tumors were the proximal femur in 6 patients, the acetabular region in 2 patients, and the ilium, tibial shaft, calcaneus, cuboid, and talus in 1 patient each. The mean time of symptoms onset to surgery was 18.7 months (range, 2.3-69.9 months). The mean maximum diameter of the tumor was 5.9 mm (range, 3.5-10.0 mm). The mean length of the skin incision was 2.2 cm (range, 1.5-3.5 cm). The mean operating time was 96.9 minutes (range, 64-157 minutes). The mean dose of radiation was 193.2 mGy (range, 16.3-484.0 mGy). No recurrences, postoperative complications, and reoperation were observed in this study. All the patients reported 0 mm on the visual analogue scale for pain on the last follow-up. CBCT-guided curettage for osteoid osteoma was minimally invasive and reliable. This procedure can be effective for the treatment of lesions found in deep locations such as the pelvic bone and proximal femur or an invisible lesion that cannot be detected by regular fluoroscopy."

Because of the wide range of histological variations, understanding the unique features of MTS can help improve diagnosis. This study describes the histopathological characteristics of MTS, mainly apocrine-type MTS (AMT), using 166 cases of AMT. We found that nodular aggregates of myoepithelial cells, mucinous changes in the stroma, and follicular differentiation were standard characteristic features of MTS. Among the cases studied, 67% showed prominent follicular germinative cells and 40% showed prominent lipomatous metaplasia in the stroma. These cases often pose difficulties for the diagnosis of AMT because of insufficient evidence of sweat glands or myoepithelial cell differentiation. This is the first study to examine how the histological features of AMT change as the tumor extends deeper into the dermis. We found that the proportion of AMT with folliculosebaceous differentiation and large lumina increased as it got deeper into the dermis. Histopathological diagnosis of MTS is vital because the clinical symptoms lack specificity. This study enhances our understanding of the histopathological characteristics of MTS."

However, the mechanism underlying arsenic carcinogenesis is unclear, and there is still limited information on the role of miRNAs in arsenic-induced skin cancer. This study aims to explore the role of miR-96-5p in the arsenite-induced proliferation and malignant transformation of human HaCaT keratinocytes. The GEO database (accession numbers GSE97303, GSE97305, and GSE97306) was used to extract mRNA and miRNA expression profiles of HaCaT cells treated with or without 0.1 μmol/L sodium arsenite for 3 and 7 weeks. In this paper, according to the CCK8 assay result, HaCaT cells exposed to 0.1 μmol/L sodium arsenite for 48 h were finalized. CCK8, MTT, EdU incorporation, and colony formation assays were used to determine the viability and proliferation of HaCaT cells and transformed HaCaT (T-HaCaT) cells. The subcellular localization and relative expression levels of DTL, as well as miR-96-5p in HaCaT cells induced by arsenite, were determined via immunofluorescence, RT-qPCR, and Western blot. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to identify miR-96-5p bound directly to DTL. Transfection of miR-96-5p mimics or DTL siRNA was conducted to verify the arsenite-induced viability of HaCaT cells and T-HaCaT cells. T-HaCaT cells and nude mice were used to construct arsenite-induced malignant transformation and an in vivo xenograft model to demonstrate the over-expressed effect of miR-96-5p. The results showed that DTL was the target gene of miR-96-5p. Meanwhile, we also found that 0.1 μmol/L sodium arsenite upregulated DTL by decreasing the miR-96-5p level, leading to the proliferation and malignant transformation of HaCaT cells. MiR-96-5p agomir treatment slowed the growth of transplanted HaCaT cells transformed by arsenite in a manner associated with DTL downregulation in the nude mice xenograft model. Taken together, we confirmed that miR-96-5p, as a potent regulator of DTL, suppressed arsenite-induced HaCaT cell proliferation and malignant transformation, which might provide a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of arsenic-induced skin cancer."

The rarity and relative poor description of cases in the literature make it necessary to review and further studies that deeply investigate this entity not only in a histopathological but also molecular field. In August-September 2023, we searched MEDLINE, PubMed and Scopus for randomized controlled trials (RCTs), narrative and systematic reviews, meta-analyses, observational studies (either longitudinal or retrospective), and case series published in English in the last 25 years using the keywords BPDCN, PDCs, Blastic NK-cell lymphoma, agranular CD4+ NK leukemia/lymphoma, agranular CD4+ CD56+ hematodermic neoplasm/tumor.

+9448,skin cancer,38131378,PPARγ agonist treatment reduces fibroadipose tissue in secondary lymphedema by exhausting fibroadipogenic PDGFRα+ mesenchymal cells.,"Secondary lymphedema occurs in up to 20% of patients after lymphadenectomy performed for the surgical management of tumors involving the breast, prostate, uterus, and skin. Patients develop progressive edema of the affected extremity due to retention of protein-rich lymphatic fluid. Despite compression therapy, patients progress to chronic lymphedema in which noncompressible fibrosis and adipose tissue are deposited within the extremity. The presence of fibrosis led to our hypothesis that rosiglitazone, a PPARγ agonist that inhibits fibrosis, would reduce fibrosis in a mouse model of secondary lymphedema after hind limb lymphadenectomy. In vivo, rosiglitazone reduced fibrosis in the hind limb after lymphadenectomy. Our findings verified that rosiglitazone reestablished the adipogenic features of TGF-β1-treated mesenchymal cells in vitro. Despite this, rosiglitazone led to a reduction in adipose tissue deposition. Single-cell RNA-Seq data obtained from human tissues and flow cytometric and histological evaluation of mouse tissues demonstrated increased presence of PDGFRα+ cells in lymphedema; human tissue analysis verified these cells have the capacity for adipogenic and fibrogenic differentiation. Upon treatment with rosiglitazone, we noted a reduction in the overall quantity of PDGFRα+ cells and LipidTOX+ cells. Our findings provide a framework for treating secondary lymphedema as a condition of fibrosis and adipose tissue deposition, both of which, paradoxically, can be prevented with a pro-adipogenic agent."

+9455,skin cancer,38130522,Topical Medications for Atopic Dermatitis and Effects on Increasing Lymphoma Risks.,"Atopic dermatitis is an immune-mediated skin condition that causes relapsing, pruritic skin lesions. Flares of this disease are often treated with topical corticosteroids; however, the use of these drugs can cause unwanted side effects, such as cutaneous atrophy and impaired wound healing. To minimize these common side effects, severe forms of this disease have been treated with topical calcineurin inhibitors, which previously had no known long-term side effects. Recently, there has been debate on the immunosuppressive effects of these drugs and whether chronic use could result in non-melanoma skin cancer. Systemic absorption of topical calcineurin inhibitors is extremely limited compared to oral formulation, although it is directly proportional to the total body surface area applied with medication. Patients with atopic dermatitis can have an increased risk of lymphoma, so it is hard to distinguish the causative factor, e.g., severe atopic dermatitis or being treated with calcineurin inhibitors. While inconclusive, the Food and Drug Administration recently issued a black box warning, and currently, topical calcineurin inhibitors are considered a second-line treatment. The present investigation reviews the findings of multiple studies conducted to determine if there is a link between the usage of topical calcineurin inhibitors and lymphoma."

+9463,skin cancer,38128623,Role of stress in skin diseases: A neuroendocrine-immune interaction view.,"Psychological stress is a crucial factor in the development of many skin diseases, and the stigma caused by skin disorders may further increase the psychological burden, forming a vicious cycle of psychological stress leading to skin diseases. Therefore, understanding the relationship between stress and skin diseases is necessary. The skin, as the vital interface with the external environment, possesses its own complex immune system, and the neuroendocrine system plays a central role in the stress response of the body. Stress-induced alterations in the immune system can also disrupt the delicate balance of immune cells and inflammatory mediators in the skin, leading to immune dysregulation and increased susceptibility to various skin diseases. Stress can also affect the skin barrier function, impair wound healing, and promote the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, thereby exacerbating existing skin diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, acne, and urticaria. In the present review, we explored the intricate relationship between stress and skin diseases from a neuroendocrine-immune interaction perspective. We explored the occurrence and development of skin diseases in the context of stress, the stress models for skin diseases, the impact of stress on skin function and diseases, and relevant epidemiological studies and clinical trials. Understanding the relationship between stress and skin diseases from a neuroendocrine-immune interaction perspective provides a comprehensive framework for targeted interventions and new insights into the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases."

+9470,skin cancer,38128084,The past as present in health promotion: the case for a 'public health humanities'.,"Health promotion is conceived as a unifying concept for improving the health of populations. This means addressing the socio-cultural, economic and commercial causes of ill-health, which are necessarily informed by past policies and socio-cultural contexts. However, historical scholarship has rarely figured in health promotion practice or scholarship. This gap resides in the determinants of health, and notably in the analyses of tobacco control and skin cancer prevention, two long-running campaigns that have shaped modern health promotion in Australia. Both highlight a need for understanding the profound impact of history on the present and the value of learning from past successes and failures. Doing so requires integrating historical analyses into existing health promotion scholarship. To achieve this aim, we present a new 'public health humanities' methodology. This novel interdisciplinary framework is conceived as a spectrum in which historical studies integrate with existing health promotion disciplines to solve complex health problems. We draw on the many calls for more interdisciplinarity in health promotion and derive this methodology from proposals in the medical humanities and cognate fields that have wrestled with combining history and present-focused disciplines. Using tobacco control and skin cancer prevention as case studies, we demonstrate how public health humanities uses interdisciplinary teams and shared research questions to generate valuable new knowledge unavailable with traditional methods. Furthermore, we show how it creates evaluation criteria to consider the powerful impact of issues like colonialism on current inequities that hinder health promotion strategies, and from which lessons may be derived for the future."

This study evaluates neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in psoriasis patients and five murine models of psoriasis-like skin disease based on topical imiquimod application and overexpression of IL-17A under different promotors. We performed a single-center prospective observational study in a German population, investigating psoriasis patients prior to, 4 weeks, and 16 weeks post begin of systemic anti-inflammatory therapy. Psoriasis area and severity index (PASI), blood count, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were attained at each timepoint.

+9479,skin cancer,38126564,Possible role of ALDH1 and CD44 in lip carcinogenesis.,"Lip squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) accounts for 12% of all head and neck cancers. It is caused by chronic exposure to ultraviolet light solar radiation and related to previous actinic cheilitis (AC). This study aimed to investigate the immunostaining of the putative cancer stem cells (CSC) markers ALDH1 and CD44 in AC (n=30) and LSCC (n=20). ALDH1 positivity was found to be statistically higher in LSCC than in AC lesions (p=0.0045), whilst CD44 expression was statistically higher in AC than in LSCC lesions (p=0.0155). ALDH1+ cells in AC lesions were associated with specific clinical features: a younger age (<60 years old), the female gender, white skin, not smoking or consuming alcohol, and a fast evolution, and not associated with the chronic exposure to UV radiation (p<0.0001). CD44 positivity was associated with patients who were male, feoderm, smoked, consumed alcohol, underwent occupational exposure to UV-radiation, and demonstrated lesions with log-time evolution (p<0.0001). ALDH1 + cells were associated with mild dysplasia using a system from the World Health Organization (WHO), and with a low risk of malignant transformation, according to the binary system (p<0.0001). CD44+ cells were also associated with moderated dysplasia, according to the WHO system. In LSCC, ALDH1 + cells were positively associated with patients who were older (≥ 60 years old), smokers, and with those who consumed alcohol (p<0.0001). CD44 + cells in LSCC were associated with older (≥ 60 years old) patients as well, but also with female patients, white skin, non-smokers, and individuals who did not consume alcohol (p<0.0001), all of whom showed distinct patterns in pre- and malignant lesions of both markers. Additionally, in LSCC, both ALDH1 and CD44 staining were associated with smaller tumor sizes (T1/T2; p<0.0001). In summary, although both ALDH1 and CD44 were associated with the presence of dysplasia in AC lesions, the present findings suggest that ALDH1 and CD44 may be activated by different etiopathogenic pathways, predominantly in distinct steps of oral carcinogenesis. CD44 would thus be more significantly related to the potentially malignant lesion, while ALDH1 would be closely linked to malignancy."
+9480,skin cancer,38126339,Patterns of radiological response to tebentafusp in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma.,"Metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM) is a rare type of melanoma with poor outcomes. The first systemic treatment to significantly prolong overall survival (OS) in patients with mUM was tebentafusp, a bispecific protein that can redirect T-cells to gp-100 positive cells. However, the objective response rate according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) may underestimate the clinical impact of tebentafusp. As metabolic response assessed by PET Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST) has been reported to better correlate with clinical outcome, we here compared the patterns of radiological and morphological responses in HLA-A*02:01-positive patients with mUM treated with tebentafusp. In the 19 enrolled patients, RECIST showed an overall response rate (ORR) of 10%, median progression-free survival of 2.8 months (95% CI 2.5-8.4), and median OS (mOS) of 18.8 months. In 10 patients, where both RECIST and PERCIST evaluation was available, the ORR was 10% for both; however, the PFS was longer for PERCIST compared to RECIST, 3.1 and 2.4 months, respectively. A poor agreement between the criteria was observed at all assessments (Cohen's kappa ≤0), yet they differed significantly only at the first on-treatment imaging ( P  = 0.037). Elevated baseline LDH and age were associated with an increased risk for RECIST progression, while lymphocyte decrease after the first infusions correlated to reduced risk of RECIST progression. Detectable ctDNA at baseline did not correlate with progression. Early response to tebentafusp may be incompletely captured by conventional imaging, leading to a need to consider both tumor morphology and metabolism."

Several studies have investigated the prevalence and diversity of HPV types in the three main types of skin warts: common, plantar, and flat warts. Using different methodological approaches and diverse populations, several HPV types were detected in skin warts, but often the etiological link remained unconfirmed. This review addresses recently improved multiple strategies for investigating the presence of HPVs in skin warts, covering proper sampling techniques for HPV testing, choice of molecular method(s) for HPV detection, and assignment of the etiological causality of the tested skin wart to a causative HPV type using cellular viral load estimation. These novel approaches provide useful insight into the range of HPV types causing skin warts and support a refined understanding of their etiology. In addition, we conducted a literature review of the main studies examining HPV prevalence and genotype distribution in common warts, plantar warts, and flat warts. Finally, HPV type-specific histopathological patterns in skin warts are briefly discussed."

Oesophageal variceal ligation, with use of sclerosing agent and tissue glue injection is commonly used in clinical practice to address oesophageal bleeding. A 58-year-old male patient with chronic liver disease was treated with oesophageal variceal ligation, sclerosing agent and tissue glue injection due to oesophageal and gastric variceal bleeding. After 2 days, the skin of the patient exhibited erythema to different degrees. After 10 days of dexamethasone treatment, the whole-body rash worsened, and a severe skin reaction appeared that was suggestive of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). Strict mucosal care was provided, and corticosteroids, γ globulin and adalimumab were concurrently used for treatment. After 20 days, the patient recovered from the skin problems. To the best of our knowledge, TEN after endoscopic surgery has rarely been reported in the relevant literature.

When ACC is present on the skin with no other primary site of malignancy in the body, it is termed primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PCACC). The only way to differentiate between ACC and other benign cutaneous masses is through the use of histopathology and immunohistochemistry. This case report describes a 67-year-old Asian female with a history of an epidermal inclusion cyst. She was seen in consultation with general surgery for the removal of a mass on her lower back. The initial excision's pathology revealed an ACC with perineural invasion. However, there were positive margins, as the mass was originally thought to be benign. Consequently, she underwent a second procedure for the total excision of the mass, resulting in subsequent negative margins. The patient was referred to radiation oncology; however, she ultimately opted to defer postoperative adjuvant radiation therapy, with the understanding that she would undergo biannual screening examinations."

Clinically, t(4;14) translocation is an adverse prognostic factor found in approximately 15% of MM patients. The contribution of REIIBP relative to other NSD2 isoforms as a dependency gene in t(4;14)-translocated MM remains to be evaluated. Here, we demonstrated that despite homology with NSD2, REIIBP displayed distinct substrate specificity by preferentially catalyzing H3K4me3 and H3K27me3, with little activity on H3K36me2. Furthermore, REIIBP was regulated through microRNA by EZH2 in a Dicer-dependent manner, exemplifying a role of REIIBP in SET-mediated H3K27me3. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing revealed chromatin remodeling characterized by changes in genome-wide and loci-specific occupancy of these opposing histone marks, allowing a bidirectional regulation of its target genes. Transcriptomics indicated that REIIBP induced a pro-inflammatory gene signature through upregulation of TLR7, which in turn led to B-cell receptor-independent activation of BTK and driving NFkB-mediated production of cytokines such as IL-6. Activation of this pathway is targetable using Ibrutinib and partially mitigated bortezomib resistance in a REIIBP xenograft model. Mechanistically, REIIBP upregulated TLR7 through eIF3E, and this relied on eIF3E RNA-binding function instead of its canonical protein synthesis activity, as demonstrated by direct binding to the 3'UTR of TLR7 mRNA. Altogether, we provided a rationale that co-existence of different NSD2 isoforms induced diversified oncogenic programs that should be considered in the strategies for t(4;14)-targeted therapy."

However, to the best of our knowledge, in South Africa there are no formal guidelines on sun protection. A group of South African dermatologists and researchers convened over the course of 1 year to deliberate on integrated advice for sun protection among the multi-ethnic South African population. For people with light skin and those with genetic skin disorders (e.g., oculocutaneous albinism), sun protection was identified as critical to prevent sunburn, skin cancer, and photoaging. The evidence is less clear for people with medium and darker skin types, especially the latter, in whom melanin may confer a degree of protection against some parts of the solar spectrum. Recent studies have demonstrated that visible light can cause pigmentary changes in individuals with darker skin types in particular. Sun protection for people of all skin colors is beneficial to protect against photoaging and ocular damage. Herein sun protection advice is suggested for South Africans of all skin colors to reduce morbidity and mortality from sun exposure, particularly relating to skin cancer. Several knowledge gaps are identified as future research priorities."

While microneedles (MNs) and iontophoresis techniques have shown improved transdermal drug delivery efficiency, challenges such as skin elasticity, high electrical resistance of the stratum corneum, and external power supply requirements hinder their efficacy in treating deep-seated tumors. In this study, a wearable, self-powered MN patch that integrates a flexible triboelectric nanogenerator (F-TENG) is presented, aimed at advancing deep-seated tumor therapy. MNs are composed of water-soluble materials mixed with negatively charged pH-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with therapeutic drugs. The F-TENG harnesses personal mechanical movements generate electrical energy. Leveraging the advantages of both MNs and F-TENG, therapeutic NPs can penetrate deep skin locations upon MN patch insertion, releasing drugs rapidly in acidic tumor tissues. Owing to these features, a single administration of the integrated MN-patch in a mouse model with deep-seated melanoma exhibits superior therapeutic efficacy in inhibiting deep-located tumor compared to using the MN-patch alone, indicating promising potential for treating tumors at deep sites."

Knowledge about factors related to diagnostic performance is sparse but a prerequisite for designing and evaluating evidence-based educational interventions. Hence, this study explored how the characteristics of 240 skin lesions, the number of classified lesions and the response times of 137 laypeople were related to performance in diagnosing pigmented skin cancer. Our results showed large differences between the lesions, as some were classified correctly by more than 90% and others by less than 10% of the participants. A t-test showed that for melanomas, the correct diagnosis was provided significantly more often than for nevi. Furthermore, we found a significant Pearson correlation between the number of solved tasks and performance in the first 50 diagnostic tasks. Finally, t-tests for investigating the response times revealed that compared to true decisions, participants spent longer on false-negative but not on false-positive decisions. These results provide novel knowledge about performance-related factors that can be useful when designing diagnostic tests and learning interventions for melanoma detection."

Current desensitization approaches fail due to ineffective depletion of allo-specific memory B cells (Bmems) and long-lived plasma cells (LLPCs). We evaluate the efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells targeting CD19 and B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) to eliminate allo-antibodies in a skin pre-sensitized murine model of islet allo-transplantation. We find that treatment of allo-sensitized hosts with CAR T cells targeting Bmems and LLPCs eliminates donor-specific allo-antibodies (DSAs) and mitigates hyperacute rejection of subsequent islet allografts. We then assess the clinical efficacy of the CAR T therapy for desensitization in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) with pre-existing HLA allo-antibodies who were treated with the combination of CART-BCMA and CART-19 (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03549442) and observe clinically meaningful allo-antibody reduction. These findings provide logical rationale for clinical evaluation of CAR T-based immunotherapy in highly sensitized candidates to promote successful transplantation.

Herein, we found that histone lactylation enhances ALKBH3 expression and simultaneously attenuates the formation of tumor-suppressive promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) condensates by removing the m1A methylation of SP100A, promoting the malignant transformation of cancers. First, ALKBH3 is specifically upregulated in high-risk ocular melanoma due to excessive histone lactylation levels, referring to m1A hypomethylation status. Moreover, the multiomics analysis subsequently identified that SP100A, a core component for PML bodies, serves as a downstream candidate target for ALKBH3. Therapeutically, the silencing of ALKBH3 exhibits efficient therapeutic efficacy in melanoma both in vitro and in vivo, which could be reversed by the depletion of SP100A. Mechanistically, we found that YTHDF1 is responsible for recognition of the m1A methylated SP100A transcript, which increases its RNA stability and translational efficacy. Conclusively, we initially demonstrated that m1A modification is necessary for tumor suppressor gene expression, expanding the current understandings of dynamic m1A function during tumor progression. In addition, our results indicate that lactylation-driven ALKBH3 is essential for the formation of PML nuclear condensates, which bridges our knowledge of m1A modification, metabolic reprogramming, and phase-separation events."

The incidence of melanoma is increasing worldwide, partially because of its insensitivity to radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Therefore, effective treatments for melanoma are urgently required. In this study, we employed folic acid-modified sulfasalazine long-circulating liposomes (FA-SSZ-Lips) to precisely target drug delivery to melanoma cells, eliciting ferroptosis effectively. The synthesized FA-SSZ-Lips were characterized as small spheres of a double-layer membrane, a particle size of 110.1 nm, and a ζ-potential of -22.8 ± 0.66 mV. FA-SSZ-Lips are effective drug carriers with SSZ-loading ratio and SSZ release rate of 6.2 ± 0.10%, and 72.63 ± 1.40%, respectively. The liposomes enhanced SSZ solubility, and the folic acid modifications increased the liposome targeting to melanoma cells. Compared with SSZ alone, FA-SSZ-Lips more strongly inhibited B16F10 cell growth, significantly disrupted the intracellular redox balance, and induced ferroptosis. After treatment, considerable differences were observed in the tumor volumes between FA-SSZ-Lips and phosphate-buffered saline control groups. The tumor growth-inhibition value of the FA-SSZ-Lips group reached 70.09%. Thus, FA-SSZ-Lips exhibited favorable antitumor effects "
+9514,skin cancer,38117871,How Research Improves Clinical Care: The Case for Orthopaedic Surgeon Research Leadership and Collaboration: AOA Critical Issues Symposium.,"Improving the performance and impact of orthopaedic research is a critical leadership challenge. Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are a leading cause of disability worldwide, for which research investment and performance lags far behind the burden of disease. In the United States, MSK disorders account for the highest health care costs, have increased in incidence at the fastest rate, and exceed the combined costs of cardiovascular diseases and neoplasms. Despite the cost to society, the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), with primary responsibility for MSK research, receives <1.4% of the funds allocated to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Although orthopaedic surgeons are leading providers of MSK clinical care, the dearth of orthopaedic clinician-scientists also greatly reduces representation of MSK scientific and clinical expertise among academic and scientific leaders. The goals of this symposium were to highlight the critical need for greater prioritization and investment in orthopaedic research and to engage orthopaedic leaders in addressing these needs. Compelling stories of research success from 3 orthopaedic chairs were featured to highlight how orthopaedic surgeon leadership in bench-to-bedside research substantially advances MSK clinical care. Seminar participants also emphasized the need to improve evidence-based clinical practice for which multicenter prospective cohort and registry studies represent opportunities for broader involvement. Prioritization of orthopaedic clinician-scientist development and formation of multidisciplinary partnerships with basic and translational scientists were emphasized as critical needs to advance MSK health. It is critical for orthopaedic chairs to ""be invested in"" and to ""invest in"" the success of orthopaedic research. This investment includes developing a professional climate that values research achievement and collaboration as well as implementing strategies to support and sustain research success. Finally, orthopaedic leaders need to advocate for federal research funding to be proportional to the economic burden of disease for which MSK conditions carry the highest current and projected costs. With health-care costs accounting for nearly one-fifth of the U.S. economy, increasing the investment in orthopaedic research to reduce the prevalence, disability, and morbidity from MSK disease needs to be a top orthopaedic and national leadership priority."

Despite the extensive knowledge of the ""light genome"", the poorly understood ""dark genome"" remains understudied. In this study, we integrated data from 20,412 protein-coding genes in Pharos and 8,395 patient-derived tumours from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to examine the genetic and pharmacological dependencies in human cancers and their treatment implications. We discovered that dark genes exhibited high mutation rates in certain cancers, similar to light genes. By combining the drug response profiles of cancer cells with cell fitness post-CRISPR-mediated gene knockout, we identified the crucial vulnerabilities associated with both dark and light genes. Our analysis also revealed that tumours harbouring dark gene mutations displayed worse overall and disease-free survival rates than those without such mutations. Furthermore, dark gene expression levels significantly influenced patient survival outcomes. Our findings demonstrated a similar distribution of genetic and pharmacological dependencies across the light and dark genomes, suggesting that targeting the dark genome holds promise for cancer treatment. This study underscores the need for ongoing research on the dark genome to better comprehend the underlying mechanisms of cancer and develop more effective therapies."
+9516,skin cancer,38117590,Cooperative polarization of MCAM/CD146 and ERM family proteins in melanoma.,"The WRAMP structure is a protein network associated with tail-end actomyosin contractility, membrane retraction, and directional persistence during cell migration. A marker of WRAMP structures is melanoma cell adhesion molecule (MCAM) which dynamically polarizes to the cell rear. However, factors that mediate MCAM polarization are still unknown. In this study, BioID using MCAM as bait identifies the ERM family proteins, moesin, ezrin, and radixin, as WRAMP structure components. We also present a novel image analysis pipeline, Protein Polarity by Percentile (""3P""), which classifies protein polarization using machine learning and facilitates quantitative analysis. Using 3P, we find that depletion of moesin, and to a lesser extent ezrin, decreases the proportion of cells with polarized MCAM. Furthermore, although copolarized MCAM and ERM proteins show high spatial overlap, 3P identifies subpopulations with ERM proteins closer to the cell periphery. Live-cell imaging confirms that MCAM and ERM protein polarization is tightly coordinated, but ERM proteins enrich at the cell edge first. Finally, deletion of a juxtamembrane segment in MCAM previously shown to promote ERM protein interactions impedes MCAM polarization. Our findings highlight the requirement for ERM proteins in recruitment of MCAM to WRAMP structures and an advanced computational tool to characterize protein polarization."

Previous studies have reported the superiority of MS in reducing recurrences for high-risk BCC and SCC. This systematic review aimed to assess MS and CS recurrence rates by including randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and cohort studies. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted for related studies in PubMed, LILACS, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, CINHAL and Cochrane until May 2023. RCTs and cohorts involving patients with BCC or SCC submitted to MS and CS were included. Risk of bias assessment followed Cochrane-recommended tools for RCTs and cohorts, and certainty of evidence followed the GRADE approach. Pooled estimates were used to determine the relative risk (RR) and absolute risk difference (RD) using a random-effects model. Seventeen studies were included, two RCTs and fifteen cohorts. There were 82 recurrences in 3050 tumours submitted to MS, with an overall recurrence rate of 3.1% (95% CI 2.0%-4.7%). For CS, there were 209 recurrences in 3453 tumours, with a recurrence rate of 5.3% (95% CI 2.9%-9.3%). The combined estimate of RR was 0.48 (95% CI 0.36-0.63), without heterogeneity nor evidence of publication bias (p > 0.3). The RD resulted in 2.9% (95% CI 1.0%-4.9%; NNT = 35). Regarding subgroup analysis, the RR for BBC was 0.37 (95% CI 0.25-0.54), and RD was 3.7% (95% CI 0.8%-6.5%; NNT = 28). For SCC, RR was 0.57 (95% CI 0.29-1.13), and RD was 1.9% (95% CI 0.8%-4.7%; NNT = 53). Among primary tumours, RR was 0.39 (95% CI 0.28-0.54), and for recurrent tumours was 0.67 (95% CI 0.30-1.50). There is moderate evidence based on two RCTs, and low evidence based on 15 cohort studies that MS is superior to CS in reducing recurrences of BCCs and primary tumours. The development of protocols that maximize the cost-effectiveness of each method in different clinical scenarios is paramount."

Rural primary care clinicians are well-positioned to address these risk factors. Our goal was to identify existing literature on adolescent cancer prevention in rural primary care and to classify key barriers and facilitators to implementing interventions in such settings. We searched the following databases: Ovid MEDLINE®; Ovid APA PsycInfo; Cochrane Library; CINAHL; and Scopus. Studies were included if they reported on provider and/or clinic-level interventions in rural primary care clinics addressing one of these four behaviors (obesity, tobacco, sun exposure, HPV vaccination) among adolescent populations. We identified 3,403 unique studies and 24 met inclusion criteria for this review. 16 addressed obesity, 6 addressed HPV vaccination, 1 addressed skin cancer, and 1 addressed multiple behaviors including obesity and tobacco use. 10 studies were either non-randomized experimental designs (n = 8) or randomized controlled trials (n = 2).

Target tissues of acute GVHD are the skin, liver, and intestine, while leukemic stem cells reside in the bone marrow. Tissue specific effector T-cell migration is determined by a combination of inflammatory and chemotactic signals that interact with specific receptors on T cells. Specific inhibition of donor T cell migration to GVHD target tissues while preserving migration to the bone marrow may represent a novel strategy to separate GVL from GVHD.

Symptoms include blurred vision, redness of the eye, floaters, dark spots, a change in the size of the pupil, and loss of vision. The location, shape, and size of the tumor are important for therapeutic purposes. Treating metastasis is always a challenge in UM cases. In cases of lung metastasis, the survival rate decreases.

Poromas are common, benign, mostly unpigmented tumors of the epidermal sweat duct unit, that usually grow slowly and occur in elderly people on the palms and soles. In most poroma cases some gene fusions were detected, which were caused by chromosomal aberrations. CASE REPORT We report the atypical case of a 30-year-old female patient suffering for more than 15 years from a solitary, polypoid, pigmented formation with a focal tuberous surface on the left lower eyelid. The lesion was not growing during the first years, but in the last 6 months before diagnosis its size more than doubled, finally reaching 12×14 mm. It was removed and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of a rare tumor - a poroma. There were no complications during healing and no recurrence was reported. CONCLUSIONS There have so far been only 9 reports of eyelid poromas, and the presented case significantly differed from the previous ones, as it appeared at an early age and showed rapid growth during a short time due to the war-related acute psychological stress. Moreover, it had unusual pigmentation and unpleasant smell. Reporting such untypical cases is clinically important because it is crucial to be aware of the diversity of eccrine poroma manifestation to distinguish it from malignant lesions."

The contribution of age-associated differences (e.g., ontogeny) beyond body-size differences in the pediatric PKs of mAbs has not been comprehensively evaluated. In this study, the population PK of two mAbs (nivolumab and ipilimumab) in pediatric oncology patients were characterized. The effects of age-related covariates on nivolumab or ipilimumab PKs were assessed using data from 13 and 10 clinical studies, respectively, across multiple tumor types, including melanoma, lymphoma, central nervous system tumors (CNSTs), and other solid tumors. Clearance was lower in pediatric patients (aged 1-17 years) with solid tumors or CNST than in adults after adjusting for other covariates, including the effect of body size. In contrast, clearance was similar in pediatric patients with lymphoma to that in adults with lymphoma. The pediatric effects characterized have increased the accuracy of the predictions of the model, facilitating its use in subsequent exposure comparisons between pediatric and adult patients, as well as for exposure-response analyses to inform pediatric dosing.

Several bacteria and fungi can cause mycetoma, but fungal mycetoma (eumycetoma) is challenging because the treatment requires a combination of a long-term antifungal agent and surgery. Although the transmission route has not yet been elucidated, infection from the soil is a leading hypothesis. However, there are few soil investigation studies, and the geographical distribution of mycetoma pathogens is not well documented. Here, we used multiplex real-time PCR technology to identify three fungal species from soil samples."
+9536,skin cancer,38115039,A combined analysis of multi-omics data reveals the prognostic values and immunotherapy response of LAG3 in human cancers.,"Lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG3) is a highly anticipated immune checkpoint in the context of cancer, exerting regulatory control over immune cell proliferation and function to reinforce the advancement of cancers. However, the comprehensive functional analysis of LAG3 across various cancer types remains undisclosed; thus, this study aims to investigate the pan-cancer expression profile of LAG3. We have investigated the expression profile, prognostic significance, and genetic alterations of LAG3 in various cancers while elucidating its characteristic in immune response regulation. Our findings demonstrated that elevated LAG3 expression is significantly associated with favorable prognosis in patients with cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), and it may be a potential biomarker for SKCM. Furthermore, multiple immune algorithms have highlighted the important regulatory role of LAG3 for the tumor-infiltrating immune cells including CD8 + T cells, B cells, dendritic cells (DCs), macrophages, and natural killer (NK) cells. We also examined the distribution of LAG3 at the single-cell level and explored its functional significance. A comprehensive and systematic analysis of LAG3 would facilitate a comprehensive evaluation of LAG3 in cancer biology and provide valuable insights for cancer management."

It arises from melanocytes, which are attached to keratinocytes within the basal epidermis. Here, we hypothesize that, in addition to melanocyte-intrinsic modifications, dysregulation of keratinocyte functions could initiate early-stage melanoma cell invasion. We identified the lysolipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) as a tumor paracrine signal from melanoma cells that modifies the keratinocyte transcriptome and reduces their adhesive properties, leading to tumor invasion. Mechanistically, tumor cell-derived S1P reduced E-cadherin expression in keratinocytes via S1P receptor dependent Snail and Slug activation. All of these effects were blocked by S1P2/3 antagonists. Importantly, we showed that epidermal E-cadherin expression was inversely correlated with the expression of the S1P-producing enzyme in neighboring tumors and the Breslow thickness in patients with early-stage melanoma. These findings support the notion that E-cadherin loss in the epidermis initiates the metastatic cascade in melanoma."

HS skin lesions are highly inflammatory and characterized by a large immune infiltrate. While B cells and plasma cells comprise a major component of this immune milieu, the biology and the contribution of these cells in HS pathogenesis are unclear. We aimed to investigate the dynamics and microenvironmental interactions of B cells within cutaneous HS lesions. Combining histological analysis, single-cell RNA sequencing, and spatial transcriptomics profiling of HS lesions, we defined the tissue microenvironment relative to B cell activity within this disease. Our findings identified tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) within HS lesions and described organized interactions among T cells, B cells, antigen-presenting cells, and skin stroma. We found evidence that B cells within HS TLSs actively underwent maturation, including participation in germinal center reactions and class switch recombination. Moreover, skin stroma and accumulating T cells were primed to support the formation of TLSs and facilitate B cell recruitment during HS. Our data definitively demonstrated the presence of TLSs in lesional HS skin and point to ongoing cutaneous B cell maturation through class switch recombination and affinity maturation during disease progression in this inflamed nonlymphoid tissue."

The challenges with current treatment are due to toxicity that leads to many more skin complications. Due to this to avoid such complications by designing diverse nanoparticles as delivery carriers, nanomedicine is employed as a hub for diagnostics and therapy. Liposomes, gold nanoparticles, transferases, nanofibers, etc., can all be used as delivery nanocarriers. These nanoparticles' structures and characteristics protect the medicine from degradation and improve its stability. Surface modifying agents and procedures are employed to functionalize nanoparticles, resulting in smart delivery systems. The application of nanotechnology-based approaches systematically increases drug delivery to target cells.

SC can occur anywhere on the body, but most commonly affects the head and neck, especially the upper eyelid. SC is the third most common malignancy of the eyelid and has the potential to metastasize and be fatal; therefore, it is vital for dermatologists to remain acquainted with this malignancy and its most current treatment options. Most commonly presenting as a painless lump or thickening of skin on the eyelid, SC has an insidious progression that may not prompt the patient to seek medical attention immediately. To avoid the potential of metastasis, early diagnosis and treatment is paramount. To assess if the cancer has spread, ophthalmology, imaging, and sentinel lymph node biopsy are recommended. This article provides a comprehensive review of SC's pathogenesis, current diagnostic methods, and treatments, including wide local excision, Mohs micrographic surgery, orbital exenteration, radiation, and other topicals. The prognosis of SC depends on several factors, including size, location, stage, and treatment method. After treatment of the neoplasm, diligent post-treatment surveillance remains the cornerstone of patient care. Continued dermatologic follow-ups are essential for early detection of reoccurrence, ensuring timely intervention and optimal long-term outcomes. In conclusion, this comprehensive review aims to equip dermatologists and other physicians with a nuanced understanding of SC, enabling them to provide effective care to support patients encountering this malignancy."

We examined 22 common melanocytic nevi (CMN), 20 cutaneous melanomas (CM), 48 low-grade dysplastic nevi (LG-DN), and 40 high-grade dysplastic nevi (HG-DN). PRAME was immunohistochemically assessed using a five-tiered system (0 to 4 +). Among CMN, 59% scored 0, 32% scored 1 + , and 9% scored 2 + . CM had score 2 + and 4 + in 11% and 89% of cases, respectively. Among LG-DN, 38% presented score 0, 31% score 1 + , 17% score 2 + , 8% score 3 + , and 6% score 4 + . Thirty per cent of HG-DN demonstrated a score 0, 30% with score 1 + , 15% score 2 + , 10% score 3 + , and 15% score 4 + . Compared to CMN and CM, LG-DN and HG-DN showed heterogeneous expression profiles of PRAME. PRAME positivity effectively distinguished HG-DN from CM with 85% specificity and 80% sensitivity (p < 0.0001). Predictive values were 87% (negative) and 76% (positive). Furthermore, a trend of increased PRAME expression from LG-DN to HG-DN was observed. However, the applicability of PRAME in the differential diagnosis of dysplastic lesions remains unclear as can yield conflicting results with morphology, which remains the primary diagnostic tool for melanocytic lesions."

This study aimed to encourage pathology laboratories in developing countries to routinely assess prognosis by applying commonly used histopathological grading systems and immunohistochemistry (IHC) markers. We performed histological grading according to both the Patnaik and Kiupel systems, determined the mitotic count (MC) and carried out IHC for the detection of Ki67, Bax, Bcl-2 and KIT in 54 CCMCT cases. MC was associated with both grading systems in terms of survival following diagnosis and prognostic factors differed among cases categorized by the cut-off value of 5. KIT patterns were associated with grading systems and MC. The cohort with pattern II had a lower survival rate than those with patterns I and III. Ki67 was associated with survival when evaluated over the cut-off value of 0.018. Bax expression was associated with both grading systems. Median survival time was longer in patients with lower Bax expression level. Immunohistochemical detection of KIT, Ki67 and Bax improves histopathology in predicting the prognosis. If IHC is unavailable, reports regarding MC and values from both grading systems are the most effective, convenient and cost-effective way to provide the most reliable prognostic data and guidance for the clinicians."

They tend to affect middle-aged women, who present with a rapidly growing, palpable mass. Here we present a case of a 34-year-old female surrogate mother without any reported personal or family history of breast cancer who presented with a rapidly growing left breast mass, pathologically proven to be a phyllodes tumor. The patient was a G7P7 surrogate mother who received estrogen and progesterone injections for her twin surrogate pregnancy starting 4 months before embryo implantation, after which, she discovered a large palpable mass in the left breast at approximately week 7 gestational age. At the initial presentation, the patient was at week 23 gestational age. She underwent C-section delivery of the twins at this time and obtained further work-up of the mass. She had a core needle biopsy which yielded a benign fibroepithelial tumor. Due to the size of her breast mass and atypical morphology, including extension to the nipple, and skin ulceration, the patient subsequently underwent left mastectomy. At the time of mastectomy, which was 8 months after the initial work-up, the mass had grown to measure approximately 12 × 10 cm on physical examination and took up most of her left breast. It was completely resected and was pathologically determined to be a borderline phyllodes tumor. Only a few cases have been reported about the development of phyllodes tumor during pregnancy in the literature, and we believe this is the first case report of phyllodes tumor related to a surrogate pregnancy. Although the relationship between exogenous hormones and fibroepithelial tumors is not well understood, the case poses the clinical question if screening mammograms should be offered to patients undergoing exogenous hormonal therapy, regardless of age to establish a baseline and monitor for the development (if any) or growth of these tumors."

However, it is still unclear whether allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) benefits EMI-positive t(8;21) AML patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study retrospectively enrolled 651 t(8;21) AML patients, and analyzed 51 patients with EMI at diagnosis. Among the 51 patients, 15 patients received allo-HSCT. RESULTS The incidence of EMI in t(8;21) AML was 10.0%, and the first complete remission rate was 78.5% in EMI-positive t(8;21) AML patients. The central nervous system was the most frequently involved site (29.4%), followed by bones (15.7%), and skin (9.8%). In terms of karyotype, 19 (37.3%) patients were t(8;21) alone, 12 (23.5%) had additional loss of a sex chromosome, and 5 (9.8%) had complex karyotype.

The objective of this article was to investigate the efficiency of free caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) and liposomal CAPE in inducing apoptosis in melanoma cells (A375) in in vitro. CAPE was loaded into liposomes made up of hydrogenated soybean phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3 phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy (polyethylene glycol)-2000], and their physicochemical properties were assessed. (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) test was performed for comparing the cytotoxicity of free CAPE and liposomal CAPE at dosages of 10, 15, 25, 50, 75 and the highest dose of 100 μg/mL for period of 24 and 48 h on A375 cell line to calculate IC50. Apoptosis and necrosis were evaluated in A375 melanoma cancer cells using flow cytometry. Atomic force microscopy was utilized to determine the nanomechanical attributes of the membrane structure of A375 cells. To determine whether there were any effects on apoptosis, the expression of PI3K/AKT1 and BAX/BCL2 genes was analyzed using the real-time polymerase chain reaction technique. According to our results, the maximum amount of drug release from nanoliposomes was determined to be 91% and the encapsulation efficiency of CAPE in liposomes was 85.24%. Also, the release of free CAPE was assessed to be 97%. Compared with liposomal CAPE, free CAPE showed a greater effect on reducing the cancer cell survival after 24 and 48 h. Therefore, IC50 values of A375 cells treated with free and liposomal CAPE were calculated as 47.34 and 63.39 μg/mL for 24 h. After 48 h of incubation of A375 cells with free and liposomal CAPE, IC50 values were determined as 30.55 and 44.83 μg/mL, respectively. The flow cytometry analysis revealed that the apoptosis induced in A375 cancer cells was greater when treated with free CAPE than when treated with liposomal CAPE. The highest nanomechanical changes in the amount of cell adhesion forces, and elastic modulus value were seen in free CAPE. Subsequently, the greatest decrease in PI3K/AKT1 gene expression ratio occurred in free CAPE."

The following article directly responds to recently published literature data and aims to determine the viability of human keratinocytes irradiated by a UV nail-drying machine. Cells were exposed to 365-405 nm wavelength UV light emitted by a nail drying machine in two time variants: 4 and 20 min, with and without sunscreen cream SPF50 protection, and compared to the untreated control. Compared to the control, cell viability after irradiation for 4 min decreased insignificantly (p < 0.1), however for 20 min decreased by 35% (p < 0.0001). Furthermore, cells with sunscreen protection compared to those without showed significantly increased viability, regardless of time-variant (p < 0.0001). The study shows that 4-min irradiation does not significantly reduce the viability of human keratinocytes and the time of 20 min significantly alters the research results compared to 4 min, which corresponds to real conditions. The results suggest that typical manicure exposure time does not significantly affect keratinocyte viability, which could increase the risk of developing skin cancers. Despite the above results, it is recommended to use sunscreen protection on your hands during the procedure, which significantly increases the viability of keratinocytes during ultraviolet nail lamp radiation."

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an aerobic acid-fast bacilli which is an important pathogen especially complicating clinical status of paediatric oncology patients and treatment of infection with this bacilli is challenging in this subpopulation of patients because of ongoing immunosuppression and relative lack of published guidelines. Atypical presentations of tuberculosis in children also complicate the diagnosis and management. All the more, in tuberculosis endemic area lung cancer may be mistakenly diagnosed as tuberculosis or vice versa and this wrong diagnosis increases the burden on country's health status. It is noted that tuberculosis prevalence is high in children with haematological malignancy and head and neck tumours compared to other solid organ tumours. Moreover, it is found that morbidity and mortality from tuberculosis is more in children from WHO listed high TB burden countries who undergo hematopoietic stem cell and solid organ transplantation. Use of immune checkpoint inhibitors as novel therapy in treatment of childhood malignancies has led to modification of the body's immunological response and has resulted in increased latent tuberculosis infection reactivation as one immune-related infectious consequence. Latent TB infection screening is important concept in management of paediatric oncology patients. Currently, the tests employed as screening diagnostics for LTBI are interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) blood test and the tuberculin skin test (TST). Various regimens have been suggested for the treatment of LTBI. But, after a positive IGRA or TST and prior to latent TB treatment, active tuberculosis should be ruled out by detailed history taking, examination and appropriate investigations so as to minimize the risk of drug resistance with anti-tuberculosis monotherapy used in LTBI treatment. To add on to literature, Non tuberculous mycobacteria are universally present environmental organisms. However, in immunocompromised children especially in subpopulation of malignancy, NTM is known to cause infections which needs protocol based management. Also importance has to given to implementation of adequate preventive and corrective measures to prevent such opportunistic infection in paediatric oncology subpopulation. In this review, we provide an overview of tuberculosis in paediatric oncology patients and summarize the expansive body of literature on the tuberculosis mimicking carcinoma, tuberculosis burden in transplantation patients and those receiving immune check point inhibitors, latent TB infection screening and management, and NTM infection in children with malignancy."

The current study aims to evaluate the possibility of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) as a probable treatment for cancers such as melanoma, breast, ovarian, lung, and pancreatic cancer."
+9576,skin cancer,38109533,In situ production and secretion of proteins endow therapeutic benefit against psoriasiform dermatitis and melanoma.,"Genetic medicines have the potential to treat various diseases; however, certain ailments including inflammatory diseases and cancer would benefit from control over extracellular localization of therapeutic proteins. A critical gap therefore remains the need to develop and incorporate methodologies that allow for posttranslational control over expression dynamics, localization, and stability of nucleic acid-generated protein therapeutics. To address this, we explored how the body's endogenous machinery controls protein localization through signal peptides (SPs), including how these motifs could be incorporated modularly into therapeutics. SPs serve as a virtual zip code for mRNA transcripts that direct the cell where to send completed proteins within the cell and the body. Utilizing this signaling biology, we incorporated secretory SP sequences upstream of mRNA transcripts coding for reporter, natural, and therapeutic proteins to induce secretion of the proteins into systemic circulation. SP sequences generated secretion of various engineered proteins into the bloodstream following intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous SP mRNA delivery by lipid, polymer, and ionizable phospholipid delivery carriers. SP-engineered etanercept/TNF-α inhibitor proteins demonstrated therapeutic efficacy in an imiquimod-induced psoriasis model by reducing hyperkeratosis and inflammation. An SP-engineered anti-PD-L1 construct mediated mRNA encoded proteins with longer serum half-lives that reduced tumor burden and extended survival in MC38 and B16F10 cancer models. The modular nature of SP platform should enable intracellular and extracellular localization control of various functional proteins for diverse therapeutic applications."

Distinguishing between the two main CD30+ LPDs, lymphomatoid papulosis and cutaneous anaplastic large-cell lymphoma is crucial, as the latter requires different treatment and systemic malignancy workup. We outline an uncommon presentation of a primary cutaneous anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (PC-ALCL) accompanied by hypovitaminosis D in a young Hispanic child and a holistic approach to treatment. While baseline testing of vitamin D levels in patients with cutaneous lymphoma and LPDs is not yet the standard in dermatology, it is being increasingly performed by other specialties who care for solid tumor and hematologic malignancies, since low levels can portend poorer prognosis and outcomes. Although there are no precise treatment guidelines for pediatric PC-ALCL located in cosmetically sensitive areas, a minimally invasive therapeutic program comprised of shave removal, topical steroids, and correction of a potentially disease modifying comorbidity (hypovitaminosis D if present) offers a comprehensive approach."

Sleep disturbances can alter the immune system and enhance oxidative stress, which may increase the risk of carcinogenesis. This study aimed to analyze the quality of life and sleep in KTR with and without NMSC. Participants answered a set of questionnaires, the WHOQOL-bref, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), the Berlin Questionnaire and self-reported chronotype. The total sample was distributed in the following groups: KTR with NMSC (n = 42), KTR without NMSC (n = 43) and healthy controls (n = 41). The mean scores of the questionnaires were not statistically significant, except for 3 domains of PSQI (sleep quality, sleep latency and daily consequences of poor sleep). The KTR with NMSC and control group presented worse sleep quality. Worse sleep latency and more daytime consequences were found in KTR groups. All groups had a numerical predominance of low-quality sleep (PSQI) and greater sleepiness (EES). Higher risk of obstructive sleep apnea was not observed and the evening-type chronotype was most frequent. In the WHOQOL, compromised physical domain was observed in KTR. Significant results were reached in few aspects of quality of life and sleep comparing KTR and controls. All groups presented excessive daytime sleepiness and low-sleep quality."

A 56-year-old man presented with a nontender left inguinal mass, and ultrasound-guided biopsy of this nodal mass confirmed nodal metastasis with strong neuroendocrine differentiation from cutaneous Merkel cell carcinoma. Staging 18 F-FDG PET/CT showed a solitary 3.9 × 6.8-cm hypermetabolic left groin mass with no other suspicious lesions elsewhere. To confirm the patient's eligibility for radical curative treatment, taking into consideration of its neuroendocrine differentiation, a subsequent 18 F-AIF-NOTA-octreotide PET/CT was performed, which demonstrated only solitary somatostatin receptor-positive left inguinal mass.

In this nationwide study, we aimed at screenshotting the current diagnostic capabilities and clinical-genomic features of VEXAS, and tracked UBA1 longitudinal clonal dynamics upon different therapeutics, including allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. We leveraged a collaboration between the Italian Society of Experimental Hematology and of Rheumatology and disseminated a national survey to collect clinical and molecular patient information. Overall, 13/29 centers performed UBA1 genomic testing locally, including Sanger sequencing (46%), next-generation sequencing (23%), droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (8%), or combination (23%). A total of 41 male patients were identified, majority (51%) with threonine substitutions at Met41 hotspot, followed by valine and leucine (27% and 8%). Median age at VEXAS diagnosis was 67 years. All patients displayed anemia (median hemoglobin 9.1 g/dL), with macrocytosis. Bone marrow vacuoles were observed in most cases (89%). The most common rheumatologic association was polychondritis (49%). A concomitant myelodysplastic neoplasm/syndrome (MDS) was diagnosed in 71% of patients (n = 28), chiefly exhibiting lower Revised International Prognostic Scoring System risk profiles. Karyotype was normal in all patients, except three MDS cases showing -Y, t(12;16)(q13;q24), and +8. The most frequently mutated gene was DNMT3A (n = 10), followed by TET2 (n = 3). At last follow-up, five patients died and two patients progressed to acute leukemia. Longitudinal UBA1 clonal dynamics demonstrated mutational clearance following transplant. We collected a nationwide interdisciplinary VEXAS patient cohort, characterized by heterogeneous rheumatologic manifestations and treatments used. MDS was diagnosed in 71% of cases. Patients exhibited various longitudinal UBA1 clonal dynamics."

The past decade has revealed additional key roles that neutrophils play in the pathogenesis of cancer, autoimmune diseases, and various acute and chronic inflammatory conditions by contributing to the initiation and perpetuation of immune dysregulation through multiple mechanisms, including the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which are structures crucial in antimicrobial defense. Limitations in techniques to quantify NET formation in an unbiased, reproducible, and efficient way have restricted our ability to further understand the role of neutrophils in health and diseases. We describe an automated, real-time, high-throughput method to quantify neutrophils undergoing NET formation using a live cell imaging platform coupled with a membrane permeability-dependent dual-dye approach using two different DNA dyes to image intracellular and extracellular DNA. This methodology is able to help assess neutrophil physiology and test molecules that can target NET formation."

Although the A3 pulley trigger finger has been described in a few cases caused by hypertrophy of the retinacular sheath and ganglion, associated skin findings have not been reported to date. Herein, we report a rare case of the A3 pulley trigger finger due to osteochondroma with unique skin findings in a 50-year-old woman. In this case, we observed a V-shaped skin depression on the palmar side of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the right middle finger during finger locking. Additionally, we observed bilateral linear skin depressions on the sides of the proximal phalange. These findings might be caused by the traction force on the A3 pulley, connected to the skin via the Grayson and Cleland ligaments, which are fibrous tissues that connect the skin and tendon sheath."

Furthermore, CTSS is implicated in tumor invasion and metastasis by the induction of tumor angiogenesis and the degradation of the tumor extracellular matrix. Nevertheless, the precise impact of CTSS on predicting pan-cancer prognosis and its influence on the tumor microenvironment and immune infiltration in human cancers remains unknown. This present study employed a comprehensive array of bioinformatic methods to evaluate the expression of CTSS and its associations with prognosis, clinicopathological characteristics, tumor microenvironment, tumor immune infiltration, tumor mutational burden and microsatellite instability across numerous cancer types. The current study demonstrated abnormal expression and distinct genomic alteration profiles of CTSS in many of the cancers tested. Furthermore, CTSS expression exhibited close associations with the prognosis of numerous cancers. High CTSS expression was significantly associated with better overall survival and disease-specific survival in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA) and skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) but worse outcomes in brain lower grade glioma (LGG) and uveal melanoma (UVM). Moreover, CTSS demonstrated significant correlations with tumor mutational burden and microsatellite instability in 8 and 12 cancer types respectively, as well as different responses in immunotherapy sub-cohorts, especially in melanoma and bladder cancers. CTSS expression showed a positive correlation with stromal and immune cell scores in the four aforementioned cancers. Moreover, CTSS expression was correlated with the number of infiltrating CD8"
+9586,skin cancer,38106750,Anorectal Melanoma: A Case Report.,"Anorectal mucosal melanoma (AMM) is an infrequent and highly aggressive form of mucosal melanoma. Its rarity makes it challenging to clinically diagnose, and its initial symptoms are typically nonspecific such as rectal/anal bleeding (the most common symptom), anal pain, or the presence of an anal mass. The prognosis for this condition is generally poor, and its incidence appears to be increasing each year. AMMs often go undetected and/or are already metastasized at the time of diagnosis. We present a case report of a patient who initially presented with nonspecific symptoms of anemia and blood per rectum, and was later found to have stage IV melanoma of the anorectal region. There is a notable scarcity of literature on this disease, resulting in a lack of a comprehensive understanding of its nature. Most available information consists of isolated case reports rather than comprehensive studies. Although surgical resection remains the primary treatment approach, the majority of patients (over 80%) will die due to distant metastasis within five years after undergoing surgery. The five-year survival rate for anorectal melanoma is estimated to be between 6% and 22%."

We aimed to estimate the short-term risks and long-term incidence rates of infection and malignancy with IL-17 or IL-23 antagonists in adult patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis through this comprehensive meta-analysis (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42022363127). We searched PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science and ClinicalTrials.gov until May 17, 2023 for randomized placebo-controlled trials and long-term (≥ 52 weeks) open-label extension studies. The estimates of short-term risk ratios (RRs) and long-term exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs) were pooled using R software 4.1.1 and STATA 16.0. This review included 45 randomized placebo-controlled studies and 27 open-label extension studies. Short-term RRs of serious infection, overall infection and malignancy were 1.45 (95% confidence intervals, 95% CI: 0.81-2.59), 1.20 (95% CI: 1.06-1.35), 0.83 (95% CI: 0.41-1.71) with IL-17 inhibitors; and 0.68 (95% CI: 0.38-1.22), 1.13 (95% CI: 1.00-1.28), 0.87 (95% CI: 0.37-2.04) with IL-23 inhibitors.

Pain management is important to minimize the impact of pain on daily activities. Cancer nurses are significantly involved in all steps of pain management and contribute to the success of therapy through their knowledge and expertise. While they generally play an important role in the screening, assessment, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients and their (pain) symptoms, this varies from country to country in Europe. An important aspect is their role in educating patients and their families about what pain is, what impact it can have, how it can be treated pharmacologically or non-pharmacologically and what effects or problems can occur during treatment. While there is a great discrepancy between education and training opportunities for cancer nurses in different European countries, there is a continued need for education and training in pain management. Cancer is increasingly becoming a chronic disease, and the management of pain in cancer survivors will be crucial to maintain an adequate quality of life. With this, the crucial role of cancer nurses is becoming even more important."

The most prevalent signaling cascade governed by multi-kinase inhibitors is the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, encompassing the RAS-RAF-MAPK kinase (MEK)-extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) pathway. RAF kinase is a primary mediator of the MAPK pathway, responsible for the sequential activation of downstream targets, such as MEK and the transcription factor ERK, which control numerous cellular and physiological processes, including organism development, cell cycle control, cell proliferation and differentiation, cell survival, and death. Defects in this signaling cascade are associated with diseases such as cancer. RAF inhibitors (RAFi) combined with MEK blockers represent an FDA-approved therapeutic strategy for numerous RAF-mutant cancers, including melanoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, and thyroid cancer. However, the development of therapy resistance by cancer cells remains an important barrier. Autophagy, an intracellular lysosome-dependent catabolic recycling process, plays a critical role in the development of RAFi resistance in cancer. Thus, targeting RAF and autophagy could be novel treatment strategies for RAF-mutant cancers. In this review, we delve deeper into the mechanistic insights surrounding RAF kinase signaling in tumorigenesis and RAFi-resistance. Furthermore, we explore and discuss the ongoing development of next-generation RAF inhibitors with enhanced therapeutic profiles. Additionally, this review sheds light on the functional interplay between RAF-targeted therapies and autophagy in cancer."
+9594,skin cancer,38104979,The effect of the female genital tract and gut microbiome on reproductive dysfunction.,"Microorganisms are ubiquitous in the human body; they are present in various areas including the gut, mouth, skin, respiratory tract, and reproductive tract. The interaction between the microbiome and reproductive health has become an increasingly compelling area of study. Disruption of the female genital tract microbiome can significantly impact the metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrates, and lipids, increasing susceptibility to reproductive tract diseases such as vaginitis, chronic endometritis, endometrial polyps, endometriosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome. The gut microbiome, considered an endocrine organ, plays a crucial role in the reproductive endocrine system by interacting with hormones like estrogen and androgens. Imbalances in the gut microbiome composition can lead to various diseases and conditions, including polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, and cancer, although research on their mechanisms remains limited. This review highlights the latest advancements in understanding the female genital tract and gut microbiomes in gynecological diseases. It also explores the potential of microbial communities in the treatment of reproductive diseases. Future research should focus on identifying the molecular mechanisms underlying the association between the microbiome and reproductive diseases to develop new and effective strategies for disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment related to female reproductive organs."

UM, a malignant tumor originating from melanocytes in the uveal tract, can be asymptomatic and small tumors may be detected only during routine ophthalmic exams; making early detection and treatment difficult. UM is the result of a number of characteristic somatic alterations which are associated with prognosis. Although UM morphology and biology have been extensively studied, there are significant gaps in our understanding of the early stages of UM tumor evolution and effective treatment to prevent metastatic disease remain elusive. A better understanding of the mechanisms that enable UM cells to thrive and successfully metastasize is crucial to improve treatment efficacy and survival rates. For more than forty years, animal models have been used to investigate the biology of UM. This has led to a number of essential mechanisms and pathways involved in UM aetiology. These models have also been used to evaluate the effectiveness of various drugs and treatment protocols. Here, we provide an overview of the molecular mechanisms and pharmacological studies using mouse and zebrafish UM models. Finally, we highlight promising therapeutics and discuss future considerations using UM models such as optimal inoculation sites, use of BAP1"

+9598,skin cancer,38104458,Development of 3D melanoma cultures on a hyaluronic acid-based scaffold with synthetic self-assembling peptides: Electroporation enhancement.,"Electrochemotherapy (ECT) with bleomycin is an effective antitumor treatment. Still, researchers are investigating new drugs and electroporation conditions to improve its efficacy. To this aim, in vivo assays are accurate but expensive and ethically questionable. Conversely, in vitro assays, although cheaper and straightforward, do not reflect the architecture of the biological tissue because they lack a tridimensional (3D) structure (as in the case of two-dimensional [2D] in vitro assays) or do not include all the extracellular matrix components (as in the case of 3D in vitro scaffolds). To address this issue, 3D in vitro models have been proposed, including spheroids and hydrogel-based cultures, which require a suitable low-conductive medium to allow cell membrane electroporation. In this study, a synthetic scaffold based on hyaluronic acid (HA) and self-assembling peptides (SAPs; EAbuK), condensed with a Laminin-derived adhesive sequence (IKVAV), is proposed as a reliable alternative. We compare SKMEL28 cells cultured in the HA-EAbuK-IKVAV scaffold to the control (HA only scaffold). Three days after seeding, the culture on the HA-EAbuK-IKVAV scaffold showed collagen production. SKMEL28 cells cultured on the HA-EAbuK-IKVAV scaffold started to be electroporated at 400 V/cm, whereas, at the same electric field intensity, those cultured on HA were not. As a reference, 2D experiments showed that electroporation of SKMEL28 cells starts at 600 V/cm using an electroporation buffer and at 800 V/cm in a culture medium, but with very low efficiency (<50 % of cells electroporated). 3D cultures on HA-EAbuK-IKVAV allowed the simulation of a more reliable microenvironment and may represent a valuable tool for studying electroporation conditions. Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to compute the transmembrane potential, we detected the influence of inhomogeneity of the extracellular matrix on electroporation effect. Our 3D cell culture electroporation simulations showed that the transmembrane potential increased when collagen surrounded the cells. Of note, in the collagen-enriched HA-EAbuK-IKVAV scaffold, EP was already improved at lower electric field intensities. This study shows the influence of the extracellular matrix on electric conductivity and electric field distribution on cell membrane electroporation and supports the adoption of more reliable 3D scaffolds in experimental electroporation studies."
+9599,skin cancer,38104187,Arsenic is a potent co-mutagen of ultraviolet light.,"Arsenic enhances the carcinogenicity of ultraviolet radiation (UVR). However, the mechanisms of arsenic-driven oncogenesis are not well understood. Here, we utilize experimental systems to investigate the carcinogenic and mutagenic properties of co-exposure to arsenic and UVR. In vitro and in vivo exposures indicate that, by itself, arsenic is not mutagenic. However, in combination with UVR, arsenic exposure has a synergistic effect leading to an accelerated mouse skin carcinogenesis and to more than 2-fold enrichment of UVR mutational burden. Notably, mutational signature ID13, previously found only in UVR-associated human skin cancers, is observed exclusively in mouse skin tumors and cell lines jointly exposed to arsenic and UVR. This signature was not observed in any model system exposed purely to arsenic or purely to UVR, making ID13, to the best of our knowledge, the first co-exposure signature to be reported using controlled experimental conditions. Analysis of existing skin cancer genomics data reveals that only a subset of cancers harbor ID13 and these exhibit an elevated UVR mutagenesis. Our results report a unique mutational signature caused by a co-exposure to two environmental carcinogens and provide comprehensive evidence that arsenic is a potent co-mutagen and co-carcinogen of UVR."

Existing therapeutic regimens yield suboptimal outcomes; however, burgeoning insights into the tumor microenvironment, particularly the immunosuppressive milieu engendered by tumor-brain interplay, posit immunotherapy as a promising avenue for ameliorating brain metastases. In this review, we meticulously delineate the research advancements concerning the microenvironment of brain metastases, striving to elucidate the panorama of their onset and evolution. We encapsulate three emergent immunotherapeutic strategies, namely immune checkpoint inhibition, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell transplantation and glial cell-targeted immunoenhancement. We underscore the imperative of aligning immunotherapy development with in-depth understanding of the tumor microenvironment and engendering innovative delivery platforms. Moreover, the integration with established or avant-garde physical methodologies and localized applications warrants consideration in the prevailing therapeutic schema."

A better understanding of the GPCRs expressed in epithelial cells will contribute to understanding the relationship between cells and their niche and could lead to developing new therapies to modulate cell fate. This study used human primary keratinocytes as a model to investigate the specific GPCRs regulating epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation. We identified 3 key receptors-HCAR3, LTB4R, and GPR137-and found that knockdown of these receptors led to changes in numerous gene networks that are important for maintaining cell identity and promoting proliferation while inhibiting differentiation. Our study also revealed that the metabolite receptor HCAR3 regulates keratinocyte migration and cellular metabolism. Knockdown of HCAR3 led to reduced keratinocyte migration and respiration, which could be attributed to altered metabolite use and aberrant mitochondrial morphology caused by the absence of the receptor.

+9608,skin cancer,38103461,Growth requirement for methionine in human melanoma-derived cell lines with different levels of MMACHC expression and methylation.,"Methionine dependence, the inability to grow in culture when methionine in the medium is replaced by its metabolic precursor homocysteine, occurs in many tumor cell lines. In most affected lines, the cause of methionine dependence is not known. An exception is the melanoma-derived cell line MeWo-LC1, in which hypermethylation of the MMACHC gene is associated with decreased MMACHC expression. Decreased expression results in decreased provision of the methylcobalamin cofactor required for activity of methionine synthase and thus decreased conversion of homocysteine to methionine. Analysis of data in the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia Archive demonstrated that MMACHC hypermethylation and decreased MMACHC expression occurred more frequently in melanoma cell lines when compared to other tumor cell lines. We further investigated methionine dependence and aspects of MMACHC function in a panel of six melanoma lines, including both melanoma lines with known methionine dependence status (MeWo, which is methionine independent, and A375, which is methionine dependent). We found that the previously unclassified melanoma lines HMCB, Colo829 and SH-4 were methionine dependent, while SK-Mel-28 was methionine independent. However, despite varying levels of MMACHC methylation and expression, none of the tested lines had decreased methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin synthesis as seen in MeWo-LC1, and the functions of both cobalamin-dependent enzymes methionine synthase and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase were intact. Thus, while melanoma lines were characterized by relatively high levels of MMACHC methylation and low expression, the defect in metabolism observed in MeWo-LC1 was unique, and decreased MMACHC expression was not a cause of methionine dependence in the other melanoma lines."

However, research has revealed that this is not always the case, and that this technique may just enhance toxicity while having little effect on boosting the anticancer effects of the medications. Cisplatin (CDDP) is a chemotherapeutic medicine that is commonly used to treat many forms of cancer. However, it has major adverse effects such as cardiotoxicity, skin necrosis, testicular toxicity, and nephrotoxicity. Many research have been conducted to investigate the effectiveness of melatonin (MLT) as an anticancer medication. MLT operates in a variety of ways, including decreasing cancer cell growth, causing apoptosis, and preventing metastasis. We review the literature on the role of MLT as an adjuvant in CDDP-based chemotherapies and discuss how MLT may enhance CDDP's antitumor effects (e.g., by inducing apoptosis and suppressing metastasis) while protecting other organs from its adverse effects, such as cardio- and nephrotoxicity."

We performed a systematic review of the cases published in the PubMed, Science Direct and Google Scholar databases with the aim of describing the reported clinicopathologic features of PGM. Thirty-six articles reporting on 39 patients were reviewed. There was a male predominance, with 23 (64 %) of 36 patients being males. The mean age at presentation was 55 ±16 years. Pain in the right upper quadrant was reported in 20/27 (74 %). The average size of the tumor was 3.5 × 1.9 × 1.4 cm. Gallbladder calculi were reported in 7/27 (26 %). A cholecystectomy was performed in 34/38 (89.5 %). Grossly, the tumor mostly (96.5 %) had polypoid appearances and on microscopic examination, the tumor were predominantly comprised of epithelioid cells 12/17 (70.6 %). Mitotic figures and prominent nucleoli were reportedly found in 8/8 (100 %) and 3/3 (100 %) respectively. Junctional melanocytic components were present in 13/21 (61.9 %). Tumor cells were reportedly immunoreactive for S-100 and HMB-45 in all tested cases. Metastasis were reported in 25/36 (69.4 %), with lymph nodes being the most common site (n = 8), followed by brain (n = 6) and liver (n = 4) for metastasis. At a mean follow-up period of 19 +/- 3 months, 16 (48.5 %) of the 33 patients with available survival data were alive and 17/33 (51.5 %) were dead of disease. There is a lack of unified criteria for the diagnosis of PGM, and future studies should aim to resolve this."

In this study, we show that MAPKi-resistant melanoma cells are more motile and invasive than the parental cells. We further show that LAMB3, a β subunit of the extracellular matrix protein laminin-332 is upregulated in MAPKi-resistant melanoma cells and that the LAMB3-Integrin α3/α6 signaling mediates the motile and invasive phenotype of resistant cells. In addition, we demonstrate that SOX10 deficiency in MAPKi-resistant melanoma cells drives LAMB3 upregulation through TGF-β signaling. Transcriptome profiling and functional studies further reveal a FAK/MMPs axis mediates the pro-invasiveness effect of LAMB3. Using a mouse lung metastasis model, we demonstrate LAMB3 depletion inhibits the metastatic potential of MAPKi-resistant cells in vivo. In summary, this study identifies a SOX10"

A previous study reported that under UVB irradiation, epidermal keratinocytes synthesize the proopiomelanocortin-derived peptide β-endorphin, which is known for its analgesic effect. However, little is known about the role of β-endorphin in UVB-exposed skin. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to explore the protective role of β-endorphin against UVB irradiation-induced damage to the skin barrier in normal human keratinocytes (NHKs) and on a human skin equivalent model. Treatment with β-endorphin reduced inflammatory responses in UVB-irradiated NHKs by inactivating the NF-κB signaling pathway. Additionally, we found that β-endorphin treatment reversed UVB-induced abnormal epidermal proliferation and differentiation in NHKs and, thus, repaired the skin barrier in UVB-treated skin equivalents. The observed effects of β-endorphin on UVB-irradiated NHKs were mediated via blockade of the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. These results reveal that β-endorphin might be useful against UVB-induced skin injury, including the disruption of the skin barrier function."

Macrocyclic (MC) materials can self-assemble at lower concentrations without the need for surfactants and polymers, but surfactants are required to form and stabilize nanoparticles at higher concentrations. Using MCs to deliver both hydrophilic and hydrophobic guest molecules is advantageous. We developed two novel types of amphiphilic macrocycle nanoparticles (MC NPs) capable of delivering either Nile Red (NR) (a hydrophobic model) or Rhodamine B (RhB) (a hydrophilic model) fluorescent dyes. We extensively characterized the materials using various techniques to determine size, morphology, stability, hemolysis, fluorescence, loading efficiency (LE), and loading capacity (LC). We then loaded the CDK4/6 inhibitor Palbociclib (Palb) into both MC NPs using a solvent diffusion method. This yielded Palb-MC NPs in the size range of 65-90 nm. They exhibited high stability over time and in fetal bovine serum with negligible toxicity against erythrocytes. Cytotoxicity was minimal when tested against RAW macrophages, human fibroblast HDFn, and adipose stromal cells (ASCs) at higher concentrations of MC NPs. Cell viability studies were conducted with different concentrations of MC NPs, Palb-MC NPs, and free Palb against RAW macrophages, human U-87 GBM, and human M14 melanoma cell lines "
+9622,skin cancer,38099710,Combined Osteopontin Blockade and Type 2 Classical Dendritic Cell Vaccination as Effective Synergetic Therapy for Conjunctival Melanoma.,"Angiogenesis and immune protection are essential at the onset of tumorigenesis. Angiogenesis serves to nourish the tumor, and prevention of immune defenses, for example, by dendritic cells (DCs), allows tumor growth. In this study, we investigated whether there are factors with dual functions that are both angiogenic and immunomodulatory and represent a therapeutic target. We analyzed 1) innate immune responses intratumorally and in draining lymph nodes and 2) angiogenic factors in conjunctival melanoma (CM), a potentially lethal malignant tumor at the ocular surface whose immune and vascular responses are largely unknown. For this purpose, an HGF-Cdk4R24C model in immunocompetent C57BL/6 mice was used and revealed that CD103- type 2 classical DC (cDC2s) were the most abundant DC subtype in healthy conjunctiva, whereas in CM, CD103- cDC2s, CD103+ type 1 cDCs, monocyte-derived DCs, and plasmacytoid DCs were significantly increased. In our analysis of angiogenic factors in CM, the examination of 53 angiogenesis-related factors that might interact with DCs identified osteopontin (OPN) as a major tumor-derived protein that interacts with DCs. Consistent with these findings, 3) a dual therapeutic strategy that inhibited tumor cell function by an OPN blocking Ab while enhancing the immune response by cDC2 vaccination resulted in 35% failure of tumor development. Moreover, tumor progression, monocyte-derived DC infiltration, and intratumoral angiogenesis were significantly reduced, whereas survival and CD8+ T cell infiltration were increased in treated mice compared with the control group. Therefore, we identified OPN blockade in combination with cDC2 vaccination as a potential future therapeutic intervention for early stages of CM by combining antiangiogenic and host immune stimulating effects."

To comprehensively delineate the underlying mechanisms for the whole progression from normal skin to AK to invasive cSCC, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to acquire the transcriptomes of 138,982 cells from 13 samples of six patients including AK, squamous cell carcinoma in situ (SCCIS), cSCC, and their matched normal tissues, covering comprehensive clinical courses of cSCC. We identified diverse cell types, including important subtypes with different gene expression profiles and functions in major keratinocytes. In SCCIS, we discovered the malignant subtypes of basal cells with differential proliferative and migration potential. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) analysis screened out multiple key driver genes including transcription factors along AK to cSCC progression. Immunohistochemistry (IHC)/immunofluorescence (IF) experiments and single-cell ATAC sequencing (scATAC-seq) data verified the expression changes of these genes. The functional experiments confirmed the important roles of these genes in regulating cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion in cSCC tumor. Furthermore, we comprehensively described the tumor microenvironment (TME) landscape and potential keratinocyte-TME crosstalk in cSCC providing theoretical basis for immunotherapy. Together, our findings provide a valuable resource for deciphering the progression from AK to cSCC and identifying potential targets for anticancer treatment of cSCC."

Stimulator of interferon genes (STING, also known as TMEM173) plays an important role in tumor development by regulating cell proliferation, metastasis and other cellular processes. However, the function of STING in UM remains unclear and requires further investigation. The present study analyzed the expression status of STING to elucidate the mechanisms underlying UM. The correlation between STING and the prognosis of UM was evaluated based on UM RNA‑seq data and clinical information extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Quantification of STING in UM cell lines and tissues was performed using the Wes Separation protein immunoassay. The effects of STING on the proliferation, migration and invasion of UM cells were investigated using Cell Counting Kit‑8, Transwell and wound healing experiments. Survival analysis demonstrated that high levels of STING in UM tissues indicated a poor prognosis. The expression of STING in UM tissues was higher than that in the choroid membranes. Furthermore, it was found that downregulation of STING expression in UM cells suppressed migration and invasion, whereas overexpression of STING significantly promoted migration and invasion. Notably, STING had no significant effect on UM cell proliferation. It was also identified that STING positively upregulated the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen‑activated protein kinase (p38‑MAPK) in UM cells, enhancing cell migration and invasion, which the p38‑MAPK inhibitor SB203580 reversed. Finally, the results of the present study demonstrated that high STING expression in UM indicates a poor prognosis.

We report a unique case of DFSP in the right inguinal region of an adult presenting with chronic lymphedema. Only 1 case of DFSP and chronic lymphedema association has been previously reported in the literature. Since we could not provide adjuvant radiotherapy (RT), we conducted an extensive review of its application in similar cases, exploring various surgical treatments. CASE REPORT A 42-year-old Cameroonian man with unexplained chronic lymphedema presented with a tumor in the inguinal region of the affected limb. The patient underwent wide local excision (WLE) of the mass, including regional lymph node dissection. Pathological exam confirmed DFSP with a fibrosarcomatous component. Adjuvant RT was considered but not pursued due to the patient;s non-compliance. CONCLUSIONS This DFSP is reported for its rarity of site and the unique co-occurrence with chronic lymphedema. Considering both conditions are uncommon and the rarity of site of the DFSP, we assume that in this patient, chronic lymphedema was a contributing factor of occurrence of the DFSP. Remarkably, no prior reports have detailed an association between chronic lymphedema and DFSP onset. For that reason, we want to point out the value of better follow-up of chronic lymphedema and better knowledge of DFSP treatment options to improve patient healthcare and limit DFSP recurrence. In addition, we found adjuvant RT is an interesting treatment option that might be considered in all patients undergoing surgical excision, even in cases where negative surgical margins were achieved."

The skin is frequently exposed to many stressors such as radiation, toxic substances, metabolites, foods, mechanical insults, and allergen exposition that cause oxidative damage and have a decisive influence on the aging process. The imbalance between reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, and the malfunctioning of the antioxidant defense system promotes the establishment of an excessive inflammatory process, which can induce various diseases including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. The present study investigated the cytoprotective function of Q-switched Nd:YAG laser against stress aging and cell injury in HaCaT cells. We evaluated the effect of the laser on antioxidant defenses, inflammation, metalloproteinases' expression, and the AhR-Nrf2 pathway. Q-switched Nd:YAG is able to upregulate the AhR pathway and the expression of IL-6 and TGF-β, which are involved in wound repair process, and to downregulate the expression of MMP-2 and 9, so preventing the collagen degradation.

Early detection of cutaneous melanoma is vital for raising the chances of survival. Melanoma can be due to inherited defective genes or due to environmental factors such as excessive sun exposure. The accuracy of the state-of-the-art computer-aided diagnosis systems is unsatisfactory. Moreover, the major drawback of medical imaging is the shortage of labeled data. Generalized classifiers are required to diagnose melanoma to avoid overfitting the dataset. To address these issues, blending ensemble-based deep learning (BEDLM-CMS) model is proposed to detect mutation of cutaneous melanoma by integrating long short-term memory (LSTM), Bi-directional LSTM (BLSTM) and gated recurrent unit (GRU) architectures. The dataset used in the proposed study contains 2608 human samples and 6778 mutations in total along with 75 types of genes. The most prominent genes that function as biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis are utilized. Multiple extraction techniques are used in this study to extract the most-prominent features. Afterwards, we applied different DL models optimized through grid search technique to diagnose melanoma. The validity of the results is confirmed using several techniques, including tenfold cross validation (10-FCVT), independent set (IST), and self-consistency (SCT). For validation of the results multiple metrics are used which include accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, and Matthews's correlation coefficient. BEDLM gives the highest accuracy of 97% in the independent set test whereas in self-consistency test and tenfold cross validation test it gives 94% and 93% accuracy, respectively. Accuracy of in self-consistency test, independent set test, and tenfold cross validation test is LSTM (96%, 94%, 92%), GRU (93%, 94%, 91%), and BLSTM (99%, 98%, 93%), respectively. The findings demonstrate that the proposed BEDLM-CMS can be used effectively applied for early diagnosis and treatment efficacy evaluation of cutaneous melanoma."

Despite improvement of systemic therapy the mortality rate of patients suffering from metastatic MM is still ~70%, highlighting the need for alternative treatment options or for the re-establishment of conventional therapeutic approaches, including chemotherapy. Screening the p53 mutation status in a cohort of 19 patient-derived melanoma samples, we identified one rarely described missense mutation of p53 leading to E285K amino acid exchange (mutp53(E285K)). Employing structural and computational analysis we revealed a major role of E285 residue in maintaining stable conformation of wild-type p53 (wtp53). E285K mutation was predicted to cause interruption of a salt-bridge network affecting the conformation of the C-terminal helix of the DNA-binding domain (DBD) thereby preventing DNA interaction. In this context, a cluster of frequently mutated amino acid residues in cancer was identified to putatively lead to similar structural effects as E285K substitution (E285 cluster). Functional analysis, including knockdown of endogenous p53 and reconstitution with diverse p53 missense mutants confirmed mutp53(E285K) to have lost transcriptional activity, to be localized in the cytosol of cancer cells, by both means conferring chemoresistance. Re-sensitization to cisplatin-induced cell death was achieved using clinically approved compounds aiming to restore p53 wild-type function (PRIMA1-Met), or inhibition of AKT-driven MAPK survival pathways (afuresertib), in both cases being partially due to ferroptosis induction. Consequently, active ferroptosis induction using the GPX4 inhibitor RSL3 proved superior in tumorselectively fighting MM cells. Due to high prevalence of the E285-cluster mutations in MM as well as in a variety of other tumor types, we conclude this cluster to serve an important function in tumor development and therapy and suggest new implications for ferroptosis induction in therapeutic applications fighting MM in particular and cancer in general."

BDE-209 (2,2',3,3',4,4',5,5',6,6'-decabromodiphenyl ether) is an additive used as a flame retardant and classified as a persistent organic pollutant that has a high bioaccumulation capacity due to its lipophilic nature. This substance has already been detected in rivers, air, soil, plants and even in different human biological samples, such as plasma, umbilical cord blood and breast milk, revealing a great concern to human populations. Thus, in the current study we investigated whether prior exposure of murine melanoma B16-F1 cells to BDE-209 modulates in vivo progression and malignancy of melanoma. B16-F1 cells were cultured and exposed in vitro to BDE-209 (0.01, 0.1 e 1 nM) for 15 days and then inoculated, via caudal vein, in C57BL/6 mice for experimental metastasis analysis after 20 days. Inoculation of BDE-209-exposed cells resulted in 82% increase of metastasis colonized area in the lungs of mice, downregulation of tumor suppressors genes, such as Timp3 and Reck, decrease of lipid peroxidation and increase of systemic and local inflammatory response. These findings are related to melanoma progression. Additionally, the histopathological analysis revealed greater number of focal points of metastases in the lungs and invasiveness of metastases to the mice brain (89%). The results showed that exposure to BDE-209 may alter the phenotype of B16-F1 cells, worsening their metastatic profile. Current data showed that BDE-209 may interfere with the prognosis of melanoma by modulating cells with less invasiveness capacity to a more aggressive profile."

POTENTIAL LINKS TО THE DRUG RELATED NITROSOGENESIS/CARCINOGENESIS, DUNNING-KRUGER EFFECT AND GENETIC WEAPONS OF THE NEW GENERATION.","Drug-induced Nitrosogenesis/Carcinogenesis turns out to be a ubiquitous, pervasive, large-scale, poorly controllable concept for the academic community, which underlies the long-term, permanent modification of the human genome by contact with nitrosamines/NDSRIs, which ultimately leads to the generation of diverse cancers, but also melanoma in particular. The discovery of a (currently) unclassifiable number of nitroso derivatives/genome modifiers in the most commonly distributed drugs worldwide (in about 300 preparations according to the FDA/includes beta blockers/bisoprolol/nebivolol and ACE inhibitors/perindopril), their forced tolerability, attributed as a necessity or lack of alternative also to the present (but also to future periods), and their proven carcinogenicity (already 70 years ago), suggest a kind of creepy form of experiment to which public health is subjected worldwide. The creation of a universal nitroso-comfort of pharmaceutical companies and the regulation of a permanent intake of carcinogens in drugs for years to come, but also decades back, suggest possible cartel agreements between the regulation/distribution unit and that of production cycles. These ""agreements"" are becoming increasingly evident and in all likelihood position nitrosogenesis from a until recently unknown element, to a pathogenetic factor of paramount importance. Melanoma could be viewed precisely as the controlled end gene-modified product of drug-mediated nitrosogenesis/carcinogenesis, proven to be a locoregional (but not only) phenomenon hundreds if not thousands of times. The dilemma stays: Are the nitrosamines in drugs genetic weapons, ethnic bioweapons for silent war ? The nitrosogenesis concerning melanoma leads to the logical conclusion that cancer is in fact a largely controlled set event or, according to others, a forced necessity of evolutionary globalization processes to purge the population in certain regions. In favor of this statement indicative are namely: 1) lack of regulatory control/results of such conducted, 2) complete information veil for the end user regarding contamination with carcinogens/nitrosamines in certain batches or all batches of drugs, 3) misinformation and lack of transparency regarding the concept of nitrosogenesis also for the academic community, as well as 4) the impunity to pharmaceutical conglomerates after criminal negligence/controlled criminogenicity proven thousands of times by the FDA/EMA leading to regulatory controlled drug mediated genocide of the human population in certain areas on a daily basis. And most important of all: 5) the lack of refusal to eliminate these drugs, i.e. - the imposition of forced tolerance at any cost. It is extremely unfortunate that the mentioned and identified grotesque/situation, its tolerance on a global scale, lead to a misjudgement of the significance of real tumor inducers within the global health map//statistics as well as melanoma. The focus of prevention is being displaced, while the incidence of cancer in general and that of melanoma is skyrocketing. Nitrosamines could be defined as the newest, modern, until recently invisible and unknown, but -controllable form of genetic weapon to modify the human genome. Because of these very facts, the likelihood that clinicians and the academic community are in the frozen and permanent state of the Dunning-Kruger effect is very real. Certain globalization regulatory elements create problems and assignments that must be solved ˝competently˝ by incompetent, fully regulatable compartments. As their state of competence depends again and entirely on ˝their incompetence˝. Until now. After the formalization of the concept of Nitrosogenesis (as a form of genetic weapon) and melanoma for example, but not only, it remains to be seen whether universal incompetence will become a guarantee of competence and the survival. Or- will it remain again at the level of globalized, criminally conditioned, appointed and regulated from above ""competent incompetence"". The dilemmas to regulators and manufacturers remain open : Is it competent to take drugs that contain carcinogens/nitrosamines? Is it competent for this issue to continue for decades with impunity? Is it competent for regulators not to inform consumers about the presence of carcinogens/genome modifiers in medicines for decades? Is it competent for certain regions to be affected by nitrosamine contamination and not others? Is it competent not to reflect this in regional and global health bulletins on side effects? Is it competent to make thousands of times the profits from the modified genetic map business, regulated and legally initiated through the intake of carcinogens? Is it competent to have the concentration of carcinogens within polymedication exceeding many times the daily allowable doses of carcinogens and have no solution for this? Is it competent, when the intake of nitrosamines in medicines is associated with the generation of melanomas and heterogeneous cancers- to have no alternative to this or when one is available- to conceal it skillfully? Is it competent to determine carcinogenic activity based on mutagenic tests? Is it competent to be polyincompetent within a framework of mass (in)competence? We report systemically administered drugs for the treatment of high blood pressure from the group of beta blockers (bisoprolol/nebivolol) and ACE inhibitors (perindopril) that have been identified by regulators in the face of FDA as hypothetically contaminated with nitrosamines/NDSRIs with a carcinogenic potency between 4 and 5, respectively. Within this cumulative intake, (which according to the regulators was not at risk of developing cancerous forms), similar to other cases in the world literature, the patient developed a relatively short-term, metastatic nevus spilus-based nodular melanoma. The paper analyses not only the role of nitrosogenesis, but also that of two pregnancies and painful sunburns as potential cofactors for melanoma genesis. Academic attention is drawn to the potential impact of drug-mediated nitrosogenesis/carcinogenesis. Nitrosamines in the framework of polycontamination and polymedication could also be identified as one of the most effective, until recently unknown, modern generation genetic weapons for modifying the human genome and controlling cancer. Moreover, they could be controllably applied and skillfully targeted. At least until now. The officialization of carcinogens in more than 250 of the most common drugs and the clinico-pathological correlations concerning the development of cancer/melanoma in poorly controlled geographical regions represent a kind of in vivo prospective study to determine precisely the real carcinogenic role of nitrosamines to date."

Women >65 years may present with advanced-stage cervical carcinoma with a poor outcome. Metastatic UCC is often diagnosed, and there are 2 types of metastases related to different treatments and survival rate: hematogenous metastasis and lymphatic metastasis. Hematogenous metastasis is relatively unusual, and it most commonly involves lung and bone locations. Orbital metastasis is an extremely rare hematogenous metastasis in patients with UCC. CASE REPORT A 70-year-old woman receiving dialysis presented to a local hospital due to general fatigue for 5 months. She was diagnosed with locally advanced UCC and underwent radiation therapy (RT). Twenty days after RT, skin masses appeared, and 34 days after RT, right exophthalmos induced by an orbital mass appeared. We diagnosed skin and orbital masses as metastases from UCC, and performed RT to the orbital tumor. The tumor shrank and the visual symptoms disappeared. Regrettably, the patient died of cancer 7 months after the orbital RT; however, no eye symptoms recurred until her death. CONCLUSIONS This report describes a rare presentation of UCC with metastasis to the orbit, and highlights that cervical cancer may still present at an advanced stage, particularly in older women. In this case, RT to the orbital metastasis from UCC was effective and contributed to the patient's quality of life."

+9650,skin cancer,38095836,Development of CAR-NK Cells Targeting cSCC-Specific Antigens for Precision Immunotherapy.,"Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), a non-melanoma skin cancer that is frequently diagnosed, is distinguished by its propensity for aggressive behavior, frequent poor response to standard therapy, and capacity to metastasize to distant areas. Utilizing the body's natural immune defense mechanisms, particularly through the use of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) technology, is receiving increasing attention in the dynamic field of oncological therapies. Although T cells have received most of the attention, this strategy has proven to be highly effective in battling some blood-related malignancies. However, there are considerable challenges when using this method in the context of solid tumors. The innate immune system's natural killer (NK) cells are essential parts because they have the ability to detect and destroy cancer cells. CAR-NK cells are a very promising approach because they combine the natural cytotoxic properties of natural killer (NK) cells with the precise targeting skills of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) technology. With the use of this integrated strategy, the intrinsic diversity of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) tumors may be successfully targeted, increasing treatment effectiveness and lowering the risk of tumor recurrence. This tactic is improved by the development of dual-specificity chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), which fully resolve the antigen presentation heterogeneity among tumor cells. In conclusion, the use of CAR-NK cells that precisely target cSCC-specific antigens has the potential to drastically transform therapy approaches for cSCC as well as other difficult solid tumors as oncological research advances. In order to create chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-natural killer (NK) cells that particularly target antigens linked to cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), the goal of this protocol is to present a detailed method. The ultimate objective is to lay the groundwork for the development of precision immunotherapy."

Community-based free healthcare education can offer targeted preventive care to these vulnerable populations; however, limited quantitative research exists measuring their impact, specifically on health literacy and likelihood for behavior change. To investigate this, a student-led health education clinic was held in January 2023 in the rural community of Lykens, Pennsylvania by the Student-run and Collaborative Outreach Program for Health Equity (SCOPE). Fifty-five pre- and post-clinic surveys using Likert-style questions measured the knowledge and likelihood of behavioral change for several preventive health topics, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cancer screenings, childhood vaccinations, skin cancer, mental health, addiction, and nutrition. From pre- to post-clinic, there was a significant increase in knowledge of hypertension (p = 0.023) and diabetes (p = 0.014), likelihood of attending cancer screenings (p = 0.038), and confidence in identifying cancerous moles (p = < 0.001). There was a non-significant increase in understanding of mental health and nutrition, and no change in understanding of addiction or childhood vaccinations. It is likely that the level of interaction in education provided and relevance of information to participants contributed to effective uptake of information. The results demonstrate an immediate impact on health literacy and likelihood of behavioral change for several important preventive health topics, and advocate for the use of student-run healthcare interventions in addressing the prevalence of chronic disease in rural communities."
+9652,skin cancer,38095778,Non-Surgical Therapeutic Strategies for Non-Melanoma Skin Cancers.,"Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is a globally prevalent skin disease, with basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma accounting for 99% of NMSC cases. While surgical excision is the most common approach, numerous non-surgical therapies have rapidly advanced in recent years. In cases of low-risk NMSC, alongside surgical excision, priority should be given to physical therapy and photodynamic therapy. Physical therapy modalities, exemplified by electrodessication and curettage, emerge as safe and efficacious alternatives. In juxtaposition, photodynamic therapy, albeit relatively more costly, assumes preference for patients exhibiting heightened cosmetic concerns owing to the scarring risks inherent to physical therapy and surgical excision. Notably, the combination of curettage and photodynamic therapy has exhibited remarkable efficacy in the treatment of nodular basal cell carcinoma. Additionally, for elderly patients who may be intolerant to stimulation, modified photodynamic therapy offers an almost painless option. When surgery is unavoidable, photodynamic therapy can be a valuable adjunct, allowing for a more conservative surgical approach, either before or after the procedure. Radiotherapy holds a prominent role in comprehensive treatment strategies, especially for patients ineligible for surgical intervention or those with lesions precluding further surgical measures. In cases of NMSC exhibiting perineural invasion or lymphovascular involvement, adjunctive radiotherapy is advised; however, potential adverse effects necessitate careful consideration. For advanced NMSC cases where surgery and physical therapy fall short, immunotherapy provide viable solutions. Systemic therapy employing Hedgehog pathway inhibitors can be considered for patients with distant metastatic basal cell carcinoma, despite its low incidence, or individuals with locally advanced lesions who are not surgical candidates, or those encountering recurrences after resection and radiotherapy. However, close monitoring of disease progression and adverse reactions is crucial. In this evolving landscape of NMSC treatment, personalized and multidisciplinary approaches are key, ensuring optimal outcomes while prioritizing patient safety and satisfaction."
+9653,skin cancer,38095490,Peri-weaning cholera toxin consumption suppresses chemically-induced carcinogenesis in mice.,"Gastrointestinal bacteria are known to have an impact on local and systemic immunity, and consequently either promote or suppress cancer development. Following the notion that perinatal bacterial exposure might confer immune system competency for life, we investigated whether early-life administration of cholera-toxin (CT), a protein exotoxin of the small intestine pathogenic bacterium Vibrio cholerae, may shape local and systemic immunity to impart a protective effect against tumor development in epithelia distantly located from the gut. For that, newborn mice were orally treated with low non-pathogenic doses of CT and later challenged with the carcinogen 7,12-dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA), known to cause mainly mammary, but also skin, lung and stomach cancer. Our results revealed that CT suppressed the overall incidence and multiplicity of tumors, with varying efficiencies among cancer types, and promoted survival. Harvesting mouse tissues at an earlier time-point (105 instead of 294 days), showed that CT does not prevent preneoplastic lesions per se but it rather hinders their evolution into tumors. CT pretreatment universally increased apoptosis in the cancer-prone mammary, lung and nonglandular stomach, and altered the expression of several cancer-related molecules. Moreover, CT had a long-term effect on immune system cells and factors, the most prominent being the systemic neutrophil decrease. Finally, CT treatment significantly affected gut bacterial flora composition, leading among others to a major shift from Clostridia to Bacilli class abundance. Overall, these results support the notion that early-life CT consumption is able to affect host's immune, microbiome and gene expression profiles toward the prevention of cancer."
+9654,skin cancer,38095363,Hamartoma affecting ampullary electroreceptors and epitheliotropic lymphoma in a captive electric eel Electrophorus varii.,"Few reports are available describing lesions in captive electric eels Electrophorus spp. This report describes 2 types of cutaneous proliferative lesions (i.e. hamartoma and neoplasm) in a captive electric eel. Ampullary electroreceptor hamartomas appeared grossly as 2 discrete, smooth, pink, spherical, cutaneous masses measuring 6 and 18 mm in diameter. Histologically, hamartomas were composed of predominately spindle cells that were separated into lobules by a peripheral rim of polygonal cells. Spindle cells were arranged in vague streams and occasionally whorls within a myxomatous matrix. Polygonal cells arranged in variably sized trabeculae and cords within a pre-existing fibrovascular stroma surrounded the streams of spindle cells. Admixed with the polygonal cell population were multiple mucous glands and alarm cells, similar to those seen in normal regions of epidermis. Histochemical stains confirmed similar components in the normal ampullary electroreceptor as in the hamartomas. Lymphoma was also present, appearing grossly as patchy pitting, erythematous, and thickened areas of the skin affecting the entire animal. Lymphoma was diffusely infiltrating and expanding the epidermis, oral mucosa, and branchial mucosa up to 1.5 mm in thickness. It was composed of an unencapsulated, well-demarcated, moderately cellular neoplasm composed of lymphocytes arranged in small dense sheets and clusters that separated and effaced epidermal cells. This is the first report of lymphoma in an electric eel, and the first report of ampullary electroreceptor hamartoma in any animal species."

These can impact the effects and perceptions of medicines. The literature about individuals' preferences for and perceptions of the different routes of administration is sparse, but indicates a potential influence of culture. Our aim was to determine: (i) any association between one's culture and one's preferred route of medicine administration and (ii) individual perceptions of pain, efficacy, speed of action and acceptability when medicines are swallowed or placed in the mouth, under the tongue, in the nose, eye, ear, lungs, rectum, vagina, on the skin, or areinjected. A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based survey of adults was conducted in 21 countries and regions of the world, namely, Tunisia, Ghana, Nigeria, Turkey, Ethiopia, Lebanon, Malta, Brazil, Great Britain, United States, India, Serbia, Romania, Portugal, France, Netherlands, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, mainland China and Estonia, using the Inglehart-Welzel cultural map to ensure coverage across all cultures. Participants scored the pain/discomfort, efficacy, speed of onset and acceptability of the different routes of medicine administration and stated their preferred route. Demographic information was collected. A total of 4435 participants took part in the survey. Overall, the oral route was the most preferred route, followed by injection, while the rectal route was the least preferred. While the oral route was the most preferred in all cultures, the percentage of participants selecting this route varied, from 98% in Protestant Europe to 50% in the African-Islamic culture. A multinomial logistic regression model revealed a number of predictors for the preferred route. Injections were favoured in the Baltic, South Asia, Latin America and African-Islamic cultures while dermal administration was favoured in Catholic Europe, Baltic and Latin America cultures. A marked association was found between culture and the preference for, and perceptions of the different routes by which medicines are taken. This applied to even the least favoured routes (vaginal and rectal). Only women were asked about the vaginal route, and our data shows that the vaginal route was slightly more popular than the rectal one."

It works on rapidly dividing cells, for that reason, it affects cancer cells, bone marrow and skin cells. Cytarabine has variable cutaneous side effects, the most common one is palmar-plantar erythema which usually presents with a tingling sensation around 5-7 days after cytarabine initiation, followed by erythema and tenderness. Auricular erythema is a rare subtype involving bilateral ears which often presents as ear redness and tenderness as described in the presented case. It is unclear if the skin side effects are related to cytarabine dose or plasma concentration. Most cases of auricular erythema have a benign course and resolve spontaneously. Treatment is mainly conservative. Steroids and antihistamines can be used to speed up recovery given that the pathophysiology is thought to be immediate or due to a delayed hypersensitivity reaction to cytarabine."
+9660,skin cancer,38094546,The Histomorphologic Profile of Skin Diseases in Kuwait.,"Background Although dermatological disorders are common in all countries, their spectrum varies greatly, with a wide histological variation. This study aimed to investigate the frequency and spectrum of different histopathological patterns of skin lesions in relation to age and gender in Kuwait. Methodology This was a retrospective descriptive study. Skin biopsy samples collected over a five-year period from 2018 to 2022 at the dermatopathology department of a tertiary dermatology center in Kuwait were included in this study. The distribution of lesions according to age and gender was analyzed. Results Of the 1,796 skin tissues reviewed, the ages ranged from one month to 93 years, with a mean age of 38.9 years. A female predominance was noted, with a female-to-male ratio of 1.8:1. Most patients belonged to the 30-39-year age group. The most frequent diagnostic categories were neoplasms and papulosquamous diseases. The five most common diseases were psoriasis, lichen planus, mycosis fungoides, benign melanocytic nevus, and epidermal inclusion cysts. The most commonly encountered diseases were similarly distributed according to gender (p > 0.05). Conclusions Neoplasms and papulosquamous lesions dominated this investigation. Therefore, understanding the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to psoriasis is crucial for developing effective treatment strategies and comprehensively managing the condition. Additionally, the community should be educated to prevent repeated unprotected ultraviolet light sun exposure and early diagnosis of any suspicious lesions to reduce the prevalence of neoplastic skin diseases. Histopathological research on cutaneous lesions is rare, with none reported from Kuwait. Our histopathology-based retrospective analysis provides a baseline for population-specific skin disease studies."
+9661,skin cancer,38094289,Detection of N-glycolyl-neuraminic acid-containing glycolipids in human skin.,"Humans lack the enzyme that produces the sialic acid N-glycolyl neuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), but several lines of evidence have shown that Neu5Gc can be taken up by mammalian food sources and replace the common human sialic acid N-acetyl neuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) in glycans. Cancer tissue has been shown to have increased the presence of Neu5Gc and Neu5Gc-containing glycolipids such as the ganglioside GM3, which have been proposed as tumor-specific antigens for antibody treatment. Here, we show that a previously described antibody against Neu5Gc-GM3 is binding to Neu5GC-containing gangliosides and is strongly staining different cancer tissues. However, we also found a strong intracellular staining of keratinocytes of healthy skin. We confirmed this staining on freshly isolated keratinocytes by flow cytometry and detected Neu5Gc by mass spectrometry. This finding implicates that non-human Neu5Gc can be incorporated into gangliosides in human skin, and this should be taken into consideration when targeting Neu5Gc-containing gangliosides for cancer immunotherapy."

These abnormal cells can form tumors or invade nearby tissues and organs, leading to a range of health problems. There are many different types of cancer, which can be categorized based on the location of the primary tumor, the type of cell involved, and the stage of the disease. Some common types of cancer include breast cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, and skin cancer. Nanoparticles are very small particles, typically ranging in size from 1 to 100 nanometers, that have unique physical and chemical properties. These properties make them attractive for use in a variety of applications, including cancer treatment. Flavonoids, which are natural compounds found in fruits, vegetables, and other plant-based foods, have been extensively studied for their potential role in cancer prevention and treatment.

+9673,skin cancer,38092473,Hodgkin Lymphoma: A disease shaped by the tumor micro- and macroenvironment.,"The tumor microenvironment (TMicroE) and tumor macroenvironment (TMacroE) are defining features of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). They are of critical importance to clinicians since they explain the common signs and symptoms, allow us to classify these neoplasms, develop prognostic and predictive biomarkers, bioimaging and novel treatments. The TMicroE is defined by effects of cancer cells to their immediate surrounding and within the tumor. Effects of cancer cells at a distance or outside of the tumor define the TMacroE. Paraneoplastic syndromes are signs and symptoms due to effects of cancer at a distance or the TMacroE, which are not due to direct cancer cell infiltration. The most common paraneoplastic symptoms are B-symptoms, which manifest as fevers, chills, drenching night sweats, and/or weight loss. Less common paraneoplastic syndromes include those that affect the central nervous system, skin, kidney, and hematological autoimmune phenomena including hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Paraneoplastic signs such as leukocytosis, lymphopenia, anemia, and hypoalbuminemia are prognostic biomarkers. The neoplastic cells in cHL are the Hodgkin and Reed Sternberg (HRS) cells, which are preapoptotic germinal center B cells with a high mutational burden and almost universal genetic alterations at the 9p24.1 locus primarily through copy gain and amplification with strong activation of signaling via PD-L1, JAK-STAT, NFkB, and c-MYC. In the majority of cases of cHL over 95% of the tumor cells are non-neoplastic. In the TMicroE, HRS cells recruit and mold non-neoplastic cells vigorously via extracellular vesicles, chemokines, cytokines and growth factors such as CCL5, CCL17, IL6, and TGF-β to promote a feed-forward inflammatory loop, which drives cancer aggressiveness and anti-cancer immune evasion.

To comprehensively investigate Nrf2's role in maintaining cellular redox equilibrium following UV-induced stress, we engineered a novel Nrf2 fusion-based reporter system for real-time, live-cell quantification of Nrf2 activity in human melanoma cells. Utilizing live quantitative imaging, we dissected the kinetic profiles of Nrf2 activation in response to an array of stimuli, including UVA and UVB radiation, as well as a broad spectrum of phytochemicals including ferulic acid, gallic acid, hispidulin, p-coumaric acid, quercetin, resveratrol, tannic acid, and vanillic acid as well as well-known Nrf2 inducers, tert-butylhydroquinone (tBHQ) and sulforaphane (SFN). Intriguingly, we observed distinct dynamical patterns of Nrf2 activity contingent on the specific stimuli applied. Sustained activation of Nrf2 was empirically correlated with the increased antioxidant response element (ARE) activity. Our findings demonstrate the nuanced impact of different phenolic compounds on Nrf2 activity and the utility of our Nrf2-CTΔ16-YFP reporter in characterizing the dynamics of Nrf2 translocation in response to diverse stimuli. In summary, our innovative reporter system not only revealed compounds capable of modulating UVA-induced Nrf2 activity but also showcased its utility as a robust tool for future antioxidant compound screening efforts."

We sought to develop a nomogram model that can predict overall survival of geriatric patients with uCM. The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database served as a source for patients diagnosed with uCM between 2004 and 2015. Statistical analyses were conducted to determine the significant prognostic elements affecting overall survival using multivariate and univariate Cox proportional risk regression models. Subsequently, an independent forecasting nomogram was developed on the basis of these identified predictors. The predictive model was then assessed and validated through the utilization of receiver operating characteristic curves, calibration curves as well as decision curves. The study included a total of 5019 participants. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed age, sex, marital status, primary site, tumor size, N stage, M stage, histological type, and surgery were independent prognostic factors. A nomogram was developed using the findings from both univariate and multivariate Cox analyses ( P  < 0.05). The receiver operating characteristic curves, which vary over time, and the area under the curve (AUC) for the training and validation cohorts, demonstrated the nomogram's strong discriminatory ability. Additionally, the calibration curves indicated satisfactory agreement between the predicted values from the nomogram and the practical outcomes observed in both cohorts. Furthermore, the decision curve analysis curves displayed favorable positive net gains at all times, when the critical value is most likely to occur. In this study, age, sex, marital status, primary site, tumor size, N stage, M stage, histologic type and surgery were determined as independent predictors for elderly patients with uCM. Then, a predictive model with good discriminatory ability was constructed to predict 12-, 24-, and 36-month overall survival in geriatric patients with uCM, which facilitates patients' counseling and individualized medical decision."

The 'SUMMER' study: a retrospective multicenter chart review project.,"This study primarily aimed to generate real-world evidence (RWE) on the profile and first-line treatment (1LT) patterns of patients with advanced (unresectable Stage III/metastatic) cutaneous melanoma initiated on immuno-oncology (IO)- or targeted therapy (TT)-based 1LT between 1 January 2015 and 1 January 2018 (index period), in routine settings of Greece. This was a multicenter, retrospective chart review study. Eligible consented (unless deceased, for whom consent was waived by the hospital) patients were consecutively included by six oncology clinics. The look-back period extended from informed consent or death to initial melanoma diagnosis. Between 9 Junuary 2021 and 9 February 2022, 225 eligible patients (all Caucasians; 60.4% male; 35.6% diagnosed with de novo advanced melanoma) were included. At 1LT initiation, median age was 62.6 years; 2.7/6.7/90.7% of the patients had Stage IIIB/IIIC/IV disease and 9.3% were unresected. Most frequent metastatic sites were the lung (46.7%), non-regional nodes (33.8%), and liver (20.9%). Among patients, 98.2% had single primary melanoma, 45.6% had disease localized on the trunk, and 63.6% were BRAF-mutant.

However, some adjust and have positive experiences. Understanding the lived experiences of adolescents who have adjusted to CMN can provide a holistic picture of adjustment and inform the development of support and interventions for others with the condition. Open, participant-driven photo-elicitation interviews were conducted with four White females (15-17 years) who self-identified as having adjusted to CMN. Participants chose five photographs which were used to guide the interviews (47-80 min). Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used to analyse the transcribed interview data. Three superordinate themes were identified: 'Accepting My 'True' Self' (1), 'I am Not Alone in This' (2), and 'Developing as a Person' (3). The themes related to accepting CMN as part of their identity, developing a positive body image (e.g., body appreciation, broad conceptualisations of beauty, body image flexibility), feeling supported and accepted by family, friends, and others with CMN, and developing adaptive coping skills. Findings suggest positive body image may be important for adjustment and can be determined by an individual. The benefits of using photo-elicitation within appearance research are discussed."

For many years the therapeutic strategies were limited to surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Recent advances in immunology and cancer biology have led to the discovery and development of novel therapeutics, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and targeted therapies, which have revolutionized the clinical care of patients with metastatic melanoma. Despite recent successes with ICIs, many melanoma patients do not experience long-term benefits from ICI therapies, highlighting the need for alternative treatments with novel targets such as lymphocyte-activated gene 3 (LAG-3). In this review, we explore new therapeutic agents and novel combinations that are being tested in early-phase clinical trials. We discuss newer promising tools such as nanotechnology to develop nanosystems that act as drug carriers and/or light absorbents to potentially improve therapy outcomes. Finally, we also highlight challenges such as management after resistance and intervention with novel immunotherapies and the lack of predictive biomarkers to stratify patients to targeted treatments after primary treatment failure."

To identify factors associated with SSIs. Case-control study analyzing the Nationwide Readmission Database (NRD). We identified 45,445 SSIs. Infection rates were higher in those who were obese (BMI ≥ 30) (OR: 1.39, 95% CI 1.28-1.51), tobacco users (OR: 1.08, 95% CI 1.02-1.15), diagnosed with diabetes (OR: 1.16, 95% CI 1.10-1.22), with Elixhauser Comorbidity Index ≥ 2 (OR: 1.14, 95% CI 1.09-1.20), admitted to hospital for 4-6 days (OR: 1.35, 95% CI 1.29-1.42), in medium-size hospital (OR: 1.15, 95% CI 1.05-1.26), or large-size hospital (OR: 1.43, 95% CI 1.31-1.56). In contrast, patients who were 60-79 years old (OR: 0.78, 95% CI 0.73-0.84), 80 years or older (OR: 0.66, 95% CI 0.59-0.73), female (OR: 0.95, 95% CI 0.91-0.99), underweight (BMI < 18.5) (OR: 0.14, 95% CI 0.03-0.59), in a non-metropolitan hospital (OR: 0.83, 95% CI 0.75-0.91), self-pay (OR: 0.82, 95% CI 0.74-0.91), or covered by Medicare (OR: 0.86, 95% CI 0.80-0.91) had lower odds. Initial data entry to NRD is susceptible to human error. Patients who are obese, use tobacco, have multiple comorbidities, and have long hospital stays in medium-to-large-size hospitals are at risk of SSIs.

With the rising obesity rates, the number of obese breast cancer patients is also rising. Full complex breast reconstruction is known to carry significant risk of complications in obese patients, hence we sought to utilize Goldilocks mastectomy as an alternative middle-ground option between standard mastectomy and complex breast reconstruction. A 63-year-old obese female presented with left nipple inversion. Ultrasonography revealed a 9.7 mm dilated retroareolar duct within the left breast, indicating lobular carcinoma. Subsequent biopsy analysis revealed estrogen/progesterone receptor (ER/PR)-positive cancer with equivocal human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status and a Ki67 index of 10%. Concurrently, a discrete area of conspicuous breast tissue prominence displayed characteristics of invasive ductal carcinoma with similar receptor status but a reduced Ki67 index of less than 5%. Traditional breast reconstruction options were unfavorable due to obesity, prompting consideration of a tailored Goldilocks mastectomy. The procedure was uncomplicated, and follow-up assessments revealed commendable wound healing, alongside the restoration of symmetrical breast contours. Conclusion: This study highlights the significance of Goldilocks mastectomy as an invaluable technique in the comprehensive management of breast cancer, particularly for obese patients characterized by a body mass index (BMI) exceeding 35 and substantial medical comorbidities."

Their diagnosis can be challenging, especially in the absence of an associated poroma or when the tumor is poorly differentiated. Since recurrent YAP1::MAML2 and YAP1::NUTM1 fusions have been identified in poroid tumors, molecular studies provide an opportunity to support the diagnosis in challenging cases. We describe a case of a female patient in her early 90s, with a polypoid mass of the hip. Histopathologically, there was a poorly differentiated malignant spindle cell tumor adjacent to a poroma. Because of the close association with a poroma and immunoreactivity for p40, a diagnosis of spindle cell porocarcinoma was rendered, which was further supported by YAP1 immunohistochemical studies. Antibodies targeting both the N-terminus and C-terminus confirmed YAP1 rearrangement in both the poroma and the spindle cell neoplasm. Subsequent targeted RNA sequencing revealed a YAP1::MAML3 gene fusion. MAML3 has previously not yet been reported as a YAP1 fusion partner in porocarcinoma. With the illustration of a rare spindle cell variant of porocarcinoma and the identification of a novel gene fusion, this case report expands the spectrum of morphologic and genomic aberrations associated with porocarcinoma."

It requires intramuscular (IM) injection. Missed IM injections cause subcutaneous nodules (SCNs) on radiologic images. We reviewed the rates of SCNs in a real-world cohort of GEP NETs receiving octreotide LAR and explored treatment outcomes. Patients commencing octreotide LAR between August 5, 2010 and March 8, 2018 at a single cancer center in Canada were identified from pharmacy records. Patients were included if they had a computed tomography (CT) scan performed at the time of progression and a preceding CT with pelvis included to enable assessment for the presence of nodules. Fisher's exact test was used to examine predictors of SCNs, and Kaplan-Meier curves summarized differences in progression free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) that were compared with log-rank tests. Of 243 patients receiving octreotide LAR, 45 had all required CT images available for central review. SCNs were found in 20/45 (44%) of patients on the last scan showing stable disease before progression and were numerically but not statistically more likely in females (OR: 2.36, 95% CI: 0.66-8.29, p = .23). There was an increased risk of SCNs in patients with a skin-to-muscle distance >38 mm (the length of an octreotide LAR needle) on CT (OR: 5.09, 95% CI: 1.39-16.6, p = .018) and a trend toward increased risk in obese patients (OR: 5.71, 95% CI: 1.26-23.4, p = .061). PFS (HR: 1.01, 95% CI: 0.56-1.78, p = .98) and OS (HR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.41-1.8, p = .70) was similar between those with/without SCNs. In conclusion, almost half of patients receiving octreotide LAR had SCNs; however, missed administration of SSA did not appear to result in worse survival in this small study. Factors such as sex, younger age skin-to-muscle distance, and obesity may affect SCN development and should be considered when choosing an SSA."

However, since acral melanoma and mucosal melanoma, which are rare in Western countries but are major subtypes of melanoma in East Asia, including Japan, have a low frequency of BRAF mutations, there are currently no treatment options other than immune checkpoint inhibitors in most such cases. Furthermore, owing to a lower tumor mutation burden, immune checkpoint inhibitors are less effective in acral and mucosal melanoma than in cutaneous melanoma.

Currently, methods based on multiplex assays and statistical models of prediction of EVCs related to hair, skin, and iris pigmentation using panels of SNP and INDEL biomarkers have already been developed and validated by the forensic scientific community. As well as traces of pigmentation, an individual's perceived age (PA) can also be considered an EVC and its estimation in unknown individuals can be useful for the progress of investigations. Liu and colleagues (2016) were pioneers in evidencing that, in addition to lifestyle and environmental factors, the presence of SNP and INDEL variants in the MC1R gene - which encodes a transmembrane receptor responsible for regulating melanin production - seems to contribute to an individual's PA. The group highlighted the association between these MC1R gene polymorphisms and the PA in the European population, where carriers of risk haplotypes appeared to be up to 2 years older in comparison to their chronological age (CA)."

In humans, they consist of TTAGGG repeats, which are bound by dedicated proteins such as the shelterin complex. This complex blocks unwanted DNA damage repair at telomeres, e.g. by suppressing nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) through its subunit TRF2. Here, we describe ZNF524, a zinc finger protein that directly binds telomeric repeats with nanomolar affinity, and reveal base-specific sequence recognition by cocrystallization with telomeric DNA. ZNF524 localizes to telomeres and specifically maintains the presence of the TRF2/RAP1 subcomplex at telomeres without affecting other shelterin members. Loss of ZNF524 concomitantly results in an increase in DNA damage signaling and recombination events. Overall, ZNF524 is a direct telomere-binding protein involved in the maintenance of telomere integrity."

Like many precancerous lesions, the development of AK is closely associated with genetic mutations. The molecular biology and transcriptional mechanisms underlying AK development are not well understood. Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure, especially UVA and UVB radiation, is a significant risk factor for AK, causing DNA damage and mutagenic effects. Besides UV exposure, comorbidities like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis may also influence AK development. AK patients have shown associations with various internal malignancies, indicating potential vulnerability in cancer-associated genes.

There has been no significant improvement in survival over the last decades despite additional treatment options. PReferentially Expressed Antigen in MElanoma (PRAME) is an immunotherapy target used for the treatment of several solid tumors. We explored the PRAME protein expression levels in ovarian and uterine CS (n = 29). The expression levels were recorded by H-score (percentage of positively stained cells multiplied by staining intensity) in carcinomatous and sarcomatous components separately and compared by paired t-test. The marker expression levels of ovarian and uterine CS were tested against each other in the CS group. Sarcoma-predominant samples (>50% of the sampled tissue) were compared with samples without predominant sarcomatous components by a 2-sample pooled t-test. In addition, high-grade carcinomatous components of CS samples were tested against low-grade endometrioid carcinoma (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics grades 1 and 2; n = 13), and sarcomatous components against uterine leiomyosarcoma (n = 14). There was no significant difference between any subgroups except for sarcomatous elements of CS and leiomyosarcoma ( P < 0.001). A weak positive correlation was found between H-scores of carcinomatous and sarcomatous components ( P = 0.062, r = 0.36). In the ovarian CS group, there was a moderate inverse correlation between age and the mean H-score of the carcinomatous component ( r = -0.683, P = 0.02). Our results further support PRAME overexpression in gynecologic cancers, including CS with similar expression levels in epithelial and mesenchymal components. PRAME might have a role in epithelial-mesenchymal transition in this group of cancers."

VVM is a distinct subset of melanoma, with a unique genomic profile and underlying pathogenesis unassociated with sun exposure. Distinguishing these rare malignancies from very common pigmented lesions of the vulva and vagina is challenging as histologic features often overlap between entities. PReferentially expressed Antigen in MElanoma (PRAME) is a melanoma-associated protein, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) for PRAME distinguishes cutaneous, oral mucosal, and retinal melanoma from atypical nevi. Given the biological differences between VVM and cutaneous melanoma, the utility of PRAME IHC for the diagnosis of VVM is unknown. We accrued a cohort of 20 VVM and 21 benign vulvar melanocytic nevi. We found that nuclear PRAME IHC staining with 4+ intensity was present in 85% of the VVM and 0% of the nevi. With the assistance of PRAME IHC, we found evidence of close or positive margin involvement in 3 of 10 cases where margins were originally diagnosed as negative for melanoma in situ. Our study is the first to assess PRAME IHC in a cohort of VVM cases and provides confidence for using PRAME IHC to assist with diagnosis and margin assessment in this rare disease."

Murine antitumor pAb were generated after repeated immunization of rabbits with murine tumor cell lines from hepatocarcinoma, melanoma, and colorectal cancers. Antitumor pAb recognized and showed cytotoxicity against their targets without cross-reactivity with healthy tissues. In vivo, pAb are effective alone; moreover, these pAb synergize with immune checkpoint inhibitors like anti-PD-L1 in several cancer models. They elicited an antitumor host immune response and prevented metastases. The anticancer activity of pAb was also confirmed in xenografted NMRI nude mice using GH-pAb produced by repeated immunization of pigs with human tumor cell lines. In conclusion, the availability of bioengineered GH-pAb allows for revisiting of passive immunotherapy with oncolytic pAb to fight against solid tumor and cancer metastasis."

The cellular variant is rare and poorly documented. Besides presenting a high risk of local recurrence, it has a low but serious metastatic potential. We present a case of metastatic cellular FH and also review the literature on this tumor, given its unusual metastatic development. A 47-year-old male patient presented with a lesion in the anterior surface of the right thigh, which has been present since adolescence but had grown during last year. Anatomopathological evaluation revealed a cellular FH, and the lesion was completely removed. Six months later, tumor recurrence with multiple compartment muscle involvement and pulmonary metastasis were detected. Both lesions were completely resected and after 3 years of follow-up, the patient is asymptomatic and free of the disease. We conclude that FH should be carefully sampled to detect variants with high local recurrence rates or with some metastatic risk such as the cellular one. We recommend wide surgical resection and a close follow-up including chest x-rays or thorax computed tomography (CT) in all cellular FH cases with local recurrence."

Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) usually occurs due to insufficient medullary hematopoiesis. In this case report, we present a female patient with sinusoidal breast carcinoma metastasis and extramedullary hematopoiesis in liver biopsy. A 63-year-old female patient with history of breast carcinoma was admitted to our center with respiratory distress. Pleural effusion was detected and thoracentesis was planned. Treatment was given after detection of non-mycobacterial tuberculosis bacillus in the thoracentesis fluid. Antibiotherapy was terminated due to elevation of liver enzymes and bilirubin. The patient's clinical status was evaluated and treatment was re-initiated. The patient did not have any mass lesion in the liver. Tru-cut biopsy was performed to evaluate a possible tuberculosis involvement in the liver. The diagnosis of metastatic breast carcinoma located in the sinusoidal area and cholestatic liver with extramedullary hematopoiesis foci was given using the histomorphological, immunohistochemical and histochemical findings. Radiological evaluation has an important role in staging of malignancies. However, it should be kept in mind that hepatic metastases may present without formation of a mass lesion, and unexpected laboratory results of cases without abnormal radiological features should raise the suspicion of a metastasis. Such materials should be evaluated in detail by making multiple serial sections in the pathology laboratory. Rare metastatic tumor growth patterns not causing a mass lesion such as sinusoidal or portal pattern, should also be kept in mind."

Its role in calcium and phosphorous metabolism, and in the development and maintenance of a healthy skeleton is well documented. In addition, there is some evidence for vitamin D decreasing total mortality and cancer mortality modestly, but not cancer incidence. Vitamin D is unique, as both diet and sun induced production in skin are sources to this vitamin. Individual vitamin D status is thus a sum of both sun exposure and dietary intakes. The discovery of vitamin D receptors and the activation of biological active vitamin D in numerous tissues and organs in the body has given support to hypothesis on vitamin D having extra-skeletal functions. The scientific literature on vitamin D and several health outcomes is high in numbers and has been increasing exponentially the last two decades. However, despite this large body of scientific publications and improvement in study quality, vitamin D supplementation has not shown to give additional health benefits when status is in sufficient range (i.e. circulating 25 hydroxyvitamin D >50 nmol/L). Well-designed studies on insufficient or deficient individuals are lacking.

This study explores the impact of pre-processing steps such as data augmentation, contrast enhancement, and segmentation on improving the convolutional neural network (CNN) performance for lesion classification. The classification network was designed from scratch by uniquely organizing its layers and using a different number of kernels, depth of the network, size, and hyperparameters. In addition, the network's performance was improved by pre-processing and segmentation steps. The proposed network was compared with the current state-of-the-art to demonstrate its best performance on the benchmark HAM10000 lesion dataset. The experimental study revealed that the classification network using denoised+segmented data achieved an accuracy (ACC), precision (PRE), recall (REC), specificity (SPE), and F-score of 93.40%, 93.45%, 94.51%, 92.08%, and 93.98%, respectively.

+9742,skin cancer,38082796,DEPAS: De-novo Pathology Semantic Masks using a Generative Model.,"The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into digital pathology has the potential to automate and improve various tasks, such as image analysis and diagnostic decision-making. Yet, the inherent variability of tissues, together with the need for image labeling, lead to biased datasets that limit the generalizability of algorithms trained on them. One of the emerging solutions for this challenge is synthetic histological images. Debiasing real datasets require not only generating photorealistic images but also the ability to control the cellular features within them. A common approach is to use generative methods that perform image translation between semantic masks that reflect prior knowledge of the tissue and a histological image. However, unlike other image domains, the complex structure of the tissue prevents a simple creation of histology semantic masks that are required as input to the image translation model, while semantic masks extracted from real images reduce the process's scalability. In this work, we introduce a scalable generative model, coined as DEPAS (De-novo Pathology Semantic Masks), that captures tissue structure and generates high-resolution semantic masks with state-of-the-art quality. We demonstrate the ability of DEPAS to generate realistic semantic maps of tissue for three types of organs: skin, prostate, and lung. Moreover, we show that these masks can be processed using a generative image translation model to produce photorealistic histology images of two types of cancer with two different types of staining techniques. Finally, we harness DEPAS to generate multi-label semantic masks that capture different cell types distributions and use them to produce histological images with on-demand cellular features. Overall, our work provides a state-of-the-art solution for the challenging task of generating synthetic histological images while controlling their semantic information in a scalable way."

The recent advancements in deep learning gained attention owing to its robustness, particularly in addressing automated segmentation and classification issues in medical images. In this paper, we proposed a modified Swin Transformer model (mST) integrated with a novel Multi-Level Adaptive Feature Fusion (MLAFF) Module. We constructed a modified Swin Transformer network comprising of a Local Transferable MSA (LT-MSA) and a Global Transferable MSA (GT-MSA) in addition to a Feed Forward Network (FFN). Our novel Multi-Level Adaptive Feature Fusion (MLAFF) module iteratively combines the features throughout multiple transformers. We utilized a pre-trained deep learning model U-Net and trained it on mammography utilizing Transfer Learning for automated segmentation. The proposed method, mST-MLAFF, is used for breast cancer classification into normal, benign, and malignant classes. Our model outperformed comparison methods based on U-Net and Swin Transformer in breast metastatic lesion segmentation on the seven benchmark datasets, namely INBreast, DDSM, MIAS, CBIS-DDSM, MIMBCD-UI, KAU-BCMD, and Mammographic Masses. Our model achieved 98% Dice-Similarity coefficient (DSC) for segmentation and an average of 94.5% accuracy for classification, whereas U-Net based model achieved 92% DSC and Swin Transformer achieved 93% DSC. Extensive performance evaluation of our model on benchmark datasets shows the potential of our model for breast cancer classification.Clinical relevance- This research work is focused on assisting the radiologist in the early detection and classification of breast cancer. A single mammography image is analyzed in less than a minute for automated segmentation and classification into malignant and benign classes."

Using single-cell transcriptomics analysis, we previously identified the co-stimulator CD58 as part of a cancer cell-intrinsic immune checkpoint resistance signature in patient melanoma tissue. We subsequently validated CD58 loss as a driver of immune evasion using a patient-derived co-culture model of cancer and cytotoxic tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in a pooled single-cell perturbation experiment, where we additionally observed concurrent upregulation of PD-L1 protein expression in melanoma cells with CD58 loss. In our most recent study, we uncovered the mechanisms of immune evasion mediated by CD58 loss, including impaired T cell activation and infiltration within tumors, as well as inhibitory signaling by PD-L1 via a shared regulator, CMTM6. Thus, cancer cell-intrinsic reduction of CD58 represents a multi-faceted determinant of immune evasion. Furthermore, its reciprocal interaction with PD-L1 via CMTM6 provides critical insights into how co-inhibitory and co-stimulatory immune cues are regulated."

Here, we establish a simple organoid culture platform using human pluripotent stem cell-derived epicardial cells and ventricular cardiomyocytes to study the development, maturation, and heterogeneity of cardiac fibroblasts under normal conditions and following treatment with pathological stimuli. We demonstrate that this system models the early interactions between epicardial cells and cardiomyocytes to generate a population of fibroblasts that recapitulates many aspects of fibroblast behavior in vivo, including changes associated with maturation and in response to pathological stimuli associated with cardiac injury. Using single cell transcriptomics, we show that the hPSC-derived organoid fibroblast population displays a high degree of heterogeneity that approximates the heterogeneity of populations in both the normal and diseased human heart. Additionally, we identify a unique subpopulation of fibroblasts possessing reparative features previously characterized in the hearts of model organisms. Taken together, our system recapitulates many aspects of human cardiac fibroblast specification, development, and maturation, providing a platform to investigate the role of these cells in human cardiovascular development and disease."

The innovation of this study is the design of production process by microfluidics of cell membrane (CM)-modified nanoparticles (NPs), as an emerging biomimetic platform that allows for reduced immune clearance, long blood circulation time and improved specific tumor targeting. To achieve melanoma selectivity, direct membrane fusion between synthetic liposomes and CMs extracted from MM cell line was performed by microfluidic sonication approach, then the hybrid liposomes were loaded with cobimetinib (Cob) or lenvatinib (Lenva) targeting agents and challenged against MM cell lines and liver cancer cell line to evaluate homotypic targeting and antitumor efficacy. Characterization studies demonstrated the effective fusion of CM with liposome and the high encapsulation efficiency of both drugs, showing the proficiency of microfluidic-based production. By studying the targeting of melanoma cells by hybrid liposomes versus liposomes, we found that both NPs entered cells through endocytosis, whereas the former showed higher selectivity for MM cells from which CM was extracted, with 8-fold higher cellular uptake than liposomes. Hybrid liposome formulation of Cob and Lenva reduced melanoma cells viability to a greater extent than liposomes and free drug and, notably, showed negligible toxicity as demonstrated by bona fide haemolysis test. The CM-modified NPs presented here have the potential to broaden the choice of therapeutic options in MM treatment."

This study aims to elucidate the association between reproductive lifespan and the risk of late-onset psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Utilizing the UK Biobank data, we conducted a prospective cohort study in postmenopausal women without baseline psoriatic diseases. The exposure variables included age at natural menopause (ANM) and duration from menarche to menopause, termed reproductive years. The outcome variables were incident psoriasis and PsA. We employed Cox regression analysis, factoring in polygenic risk scores for psoriatic diseases and recognized risk factors. We found that later ANM and longer reproductive years were significantly associated with decreased risks of late-onset psoriasis and PsA in a dose-dependent manner (P<.05). ANM after age 55 years led to a 34 and 46% risk reduction in late-onset psoriasis and PsA, respectively, compared with ANM before age 45 years (P<.001). The population-attributable risks of ANM were 17.4% for late-onset psoriasis and 21.6% for PsA. In conclusion, reproductive lifespan, with its inherent homeostasis, plays a pivotal yet overlooked role in late-onset psoriatic diseases. Investigations into estrogen-centric causes and sex-specific interventions are imperative."

However, the effectiveness of mRNA in cancer therapy needs to be further improved, and the delivery efficiency and instability of mRNA limit the application of mRNA-based products. Both the delivery efficiency can be elevated by cell-penetrating peptide modification, and the immune response can be enhanced by tumor cell lysate stimulation, representing an advantageous strategy to expand the effectiveness of mRNA gene therapy. Therefore, it is vital to exploit a vector that can deliver high-efficiency mRNA with codelivery of tumor cell lysate to induce specific immune responses. We previously reported that DMP cationic nanoparticles, formed by the self-assembly of DOTAP and mPEG-PCL, can deliver different types of nucleic acids. DMP has been successfully applied in gene therapy research for various tumor types. Here, we encapsulated tumor cell lysates with DMP nanoparticles and then modified them with a fused cell-penetrating peptide (TAT-iRGD) to form an MLSV system. The MLSV system was loaded with encoded Bim mRNA, forming the MLSV/Bim complex. The average size of the synthesized MLSV was 191.4 nm, with a potential of 47.8 mV. The MLSV/mRNA complex promotes mRNA absorption through caveolin-mediated endocytosis, with a transfection rate of up to 68.6% in B16 cells.

+9760,skin cancer,38078907,A positive feedback loop between ZEB2 and ACSL4 regulates lipid metabolism to promote breast cancer metastasis.,"Lipid metabolism plays a critical role in cancer metastasis. However, the mechanisms through which metastatic genes regulate lipid metabolism remain unclear. Here, we describe a new oncogenic-metabolic feedback loop between the epithelial-mesenchymal transition transcription factor ZEB2 and the key lipid enzyme ACSL4 (long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4), resulting in enhanced cellular lipid storage and fatty acid oxidation (FAO) to drive breast cancer metastasis. Functionally, depletion of ZEB2 or ACSL4 significantly reduced lipid droplets (LDs) abundance and cell migration. ACSL4 overexpression rescued the invasive capabilities of the ZEB2 knockdown cells, suggesting that ACSL4 is crucial for ZEB2-mediated metastasis. Mechanistically, ZEB2-activated ACSL4 expression by directly binding to the ACSL4 promoter. ACSL4 binds to and stabilizes ZEB2 by reducing ZEB2 ubiquitination. Notably, ACSL4 not only promotes the intracellular lipogenesis and LDs accumulation but also enhances FAO and adenosine triphosphate production by upregulating the FAO rate-limiting enzyme CPT1A (carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 isoform A). Finally, we demonstrated that ACSL4 knockdown significantly reduced metastatic lung nodes in vivo. In conclusion, we reveal a novel positive regulatory loop between ZEB2 and ACSL4, which promotes LDs storage to meet the energy needs of breast cancer metastasis, and identify the ZEB2-ACSL4 signaling axis as an attractive therapeutic target for overcoming breast cancer metastasis."

However, no efficient targeted therapy options are currently available for patients with NRAS-mutant melanoma. MEK inhibitors (MEKi) appear to display a moderate antitumor activity and also immunological effects in NRAS-mutant melanoma, providing an ideal backbone for combination treatments. In our study, the MEKi binimetinib, cobimetinib and trametinib combined with the BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) encorafenib, vemurafenib and dabrafenib were investigated for their ability to inhibit proliferation, induce apoptosis and alter the expression of immune modulatory molecules in sensitive NRAS-mutant melanoma cells using two- and three-dimensional cell culture models as well as RNA sequencing analyses. Furthermore, NRAS-mutant melanoma cells resistant to the three BRAFi/MEKi combinations were established to characterize the mechanisms contributing to their resistance. All BRAFi induced a stress response in the sensitive NRAS-mutant melanoma cells thereby significantly enhancing the antiproliferative and proapoptotic activity of the MEKi analyzed. Furthermore, BRAFi/MEKi combinations upregulated immune relevant molecules, such as ICOS-L, components of antigen-presenting machinery and the ""don't eat me signal"" molecule CD47 in the melanoma cells. The BRAFi/MEKi-resistant, NRAS-mutant melanoma cells counteracted the molecular and immunological effects of BRAFi/MEKi by upregulating downstream mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway molecules, inhibiting apoptosis and promoting immune escape mechanisms. Together, our study reveals potent molecular and immunological effects of BRAFi/MEKi in sensitive NRAS-mutant melanoma cells that may be exploited in new combinational treatment strategies for patients with NRAS-mutant melanoma."

Using a high-density whole-proteome peptide array (of 6.090.593 unique peptides), we assessed potential protein-targets for antibodies found in immune sera. Sera from 6 of these cured mice were analyzed with this high-density, whole-proteome peptide array to determine specific antibody-binding sites and their linear peptide sequence. We identified thousands of peptides that were targeted by these 6 mice and exhibited strong antibody binding only by immune (after successful cure and rechallenge), not naïve (before tumor implantation) sera and developed a robust method to detect these differentially targeted peptides. Confirmatory studies were done to validate these results using 2 separate systems, a peptide ELISA and a smaller scale peptide array utilizing a slightly different technology. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of the full set of germline encoded linear peptide-based proteome epitopes that are recognized by immune sera from mice cured of cancer via radio-immunotherapy. We furthermore found that although the generation of B-cell repertoire in immune development is vastly variable, and numerous epitopes are identified uniquely by immune serum from each of these 6 immune mice evaluated, there are still several epitopes and proteins that are commonly recognized by at least half of the mice studied. This suggests that every mouse has a unique set of antibodies produced in response to the curative therapy, creating an individual ""fingerprint.""

The purpose of this study was to develop a novel multicolor flow cytometry (FC) panel that will enable the quantification of candidate prognostic markers (Ki-67 and pKIT) in fine needle aspirate (FNA) samples prior to surgical removal of the tumors. FNA of canine MCTs and the NI-1 cell line were utilized to develop a FC panel that includes a viability dye (FVS620, BD Biosciences; 7-AAD, Invitrogen) and the following primary conjugated antibodies: CD117-PE (ACK45, BD Biosciences), pKIT-A647 (polyclonal bs-3242R, BIOSS) and Ki-67-FITC (20Raj1, eBioscience; MIB-1, DAKO). A total of nine FNA samples of canine MCTs were collected, seven out which produced sufficient cells for FC analysis. The Ki-67 antibody clone 20Raj1 produced a positive signal when applied to blood leukocytes but failed to provide robust labeling of neoplastic mast cells. The Ki-67 antibody clone MIB-1 delivered a superior staining quality in both the NI-1 cells and primary MCT cells. CD117-PE signal was adequate post fixation and permeabilization and in the combination of 7-AAD. pKIT produced non-specific staining and was not suitable for this multicolor FC panel. In conclusion, FNA samples of canine MCTs can often yield adequate cell numbers for FC analysis, and a multicolor FC panel was developed that can detect Ki-67 in canine mast cells. This would permit further studies into the potential use of this panel for canine cutaneous and subcutaneous MCT prognostication purposes."

Remarkable advances have been made in the realm of epidemiology, classification, diagnosis, and therapy of melanoma. The treatment of advanced melanomas has entered the golden era as targeted personalized therapies have emerged that have significantly altered the mortality rate. A paradigm shift in the approach to melanoma classification, diagnosis, prognosis, and staging is underway, fueled by discoveries of genetic alterations in melanocytic neoplasms. A morphologic clinicopathologic classification of melanoma is expected to be replaced by a more precise molecular based one. As validated, convenient, and cost-effective molecular-based tests emerge, molecular diagnostics will play a greater role in the clinical and histologic diagnosis of melanoma. Artificial intelligence augmented clinical and histologic diagnosis of melanoma is expected to make the process more streamlined and efficient. A more accurate model of prognosis and staging of melanoma is emerging based on molecular understanding melanoma. This contribution summarizes the recent advances in melanoma epidemiology, classification, diagnosis, and prognosis."

Therefore, finding effective treatment has become the focus of research. This study aimed to reveal the mechanism of Licorice rose beverage (LRB) in treating melasma from the perspective of network pharmacology and in vitro and in vivo experimental techniques. Network pharmacological studies have shown that Isolicoflavonol, quercetin, and kaempferol are the main active components of anti-melasma and tyrosinase is the main target. Molecular docking studies have shown that these compounds have a good affinity for these targets. In vitro tyrosinase inhibition experiments showed that LRB could significantly inhibit tyrosinase activity. In vivo studies showed that LRB could significantly improve skin damage and skin pigmentation, reduce the activities of serum and skin tyrosinase in model mice, increase the activity of SOD in serum, and reduce the content of MDA in mice, showing a good effect of anti-melasma. In conclusion, these findings reveal the molecular mechanism of LRB in treating melasma and provide the scientific basis for this product's development and clinical application."

However, its parenteral administration is associated with systemic toxicity, while its topical application has limited percutaneous absorption. To overcome these limitations, the current study undertakes the formulation of 5-FU as niosomal vesicles that were coated with hyaluronic acid to improve its targeting efficiency for cancer cells. The niosomes were prepared by the thin-film hydration method using cholesterol as physiological lipid and nonionic surfactants (Tween 80 and Span 80) in the ratio of 1:1. The niosomal vesicles were characterized for their size, size distribution, viscosity, surface tension, density, and drug entrapment efficiency. The vesicles were within the particle size range of 337-478 nm with relatively homogeneous particle size distribution (PDI ≤ 0.5). The ζ-potential and drug entrapment efficiency of coated formulations (F2 and F4) were comparatively higher than corresponding noncoated formulations (F1 and F3). The release behavior of 5-FU from niosomal vesicles using a dialysis membrane depicts that initial burst drug release was higher for F1 and F3 due to their smaller particle size in comparison to their coated counterparts. However, the release was more controlled for F4 due to the larger particle size, higher viscosity, and entrapped fraction of the formulation. The permeation of the drug through the rat's skin was comparatively higher in the case of noncoated formulations than their coated counterparts ("

The skin is the largest organ of the human body, and the site where signs of aging are most visible. These signs include thin and dry skin, sagging, loss of elasticity, wrinkles, as well as aberrant pigmentation. The appearance of these features is accelerated by exposure to extrinsic factors such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation or pollution, as well as intrinsic factors including time, genetics, and hormonal changes. At the cellular level, aging is associated with impaired proteostasis and an accumulation of macromolecular damage, genomic instability, chromatin reorganization, telomere shortening, remodelling of the nuclear lamina, proliferation defects and premature senescence. Cellular senescence is a state of permanent growth arrest and a key hallmark of aging in many tissues. Due to their inability to proliferate, senescent cells no longer contribute to tissue repair or regeneration. Moreover, senescent cells impair tissue homeostasis, promote inflammation and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation by secreting molecules collectively known as the ""senescence-associated secretory phenotype"" (SASP). Senescence can be triggered by a number of different stimuli such as telomere shortening, oncogene expression, or persistent activation of DNA damage checkpoints. As a result, these cells accumulate in aging tissues, including human skin. In this review, we focus on the role of cellular senescence during skin aging and the development of age-related skin pathologies, and discuss potential strategies to rejuvenate aged skin."

It is frequently observed as a physiologic change associated with pregnancy. A primigravida 19-year-old woman began to develop skin darkening during week 24 of gestation. She delivered a healthy infant. Three months postpartum, the hyperpigmentation had not resolved. After the benign characteristics of her cutaneous hyperpigmentation were explained, the patient decided to clinically monitor the dark linear streak. Similar to this patient, clinical studies of pregnant women have observed the incidence of pregnancy-associated linea nigra to range from 32% to 92%; in contrast to this woman, partial or complete spontaneous resolution of the skin darkening commonly occurs after delivery of the newborn. During gestation, the development of linea nigra has been postulated to be caused by elevated estrogen, progesterone, and/or melanocyte-stimulating hormone levels. Linea nigra is not restricted to gestational females; it has also been noted in newborns and children. In addition, it has also been observed in men who had either benign prostate hyperplasia or prostate cancer. In summary, linea nigra is often an acquired longitudinal streak of benign cutaneous hyperpigmentation on the abdomen; when linea nigra is pregnancy-associated, the skin darkening often partially or completely resolves, spontaneously after delivery."

+9784,skin cancer,38072970,Novel lncRNA Gm33149 modulates metastatic heterogeneity in melanoma by regulating the miR-5623-3p/Wnt axis via exosomal transfer.,"The high mortality rate associated with melanoma primarily results from metastasis and recurrence. However, the precise mechanisms driving these processes remain poorly understood. Intercellular communication between cancer cells and non-cancer cells significantly influences the tumor microenvironment and plays a crucial role in metastasis. Therefore, our current study aims to investigate the role and mechanism of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in regulating the interaction between melanoma cancer stem cells (CSCs) and non-CSCs during the metastatic colonization process. This study has characterized a novel lncRNA called Gm33149. Importantly, we provide evidence for the first time that Gm33149, originating from highly metastatic melanoma stem cells (OL-SD), can be packaged into exosomes and transferred to low-metastatic nonstem cells (OL). Once internalized by OL cells, Gm33149 exerts its function through a competitive endogenous RNA mechanism (ceRNA) involving miR-5623-3p. Specifically, Gm33149 competitively binds to miR-5623-3p, thereby activating the Wnt signaling pathway and promoting the acquisition of a more aggressive metastatic phenotype by OL cells. In summary, our findings suggest that targeting lncRNA Gm33149 within extracellular vesicles could potentially serve as a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. Schematic representation of the mechanisms underlying the pro-metastatic activity of lncRNA Gm33149 mediated by exosomal transfer. The figure illustrates the key mechanisms involved in the pro-metastatic activity of lncRNA Gm33149 through exosomal transfer. Melanoma stem cells (OLSD) release exosomes containing lncRNA Gm33149. These exosomes are taken up by non-stem melanoma cells (OL), delivering lncRNA Gm33149 to the recipient cells. Within OL cells, lncRNA Gm33149 functions as a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA), sequestering miR-5623-3p. This sequestration prevents miR-5623-3p from binding to its target genes, thereby activating the Wnt signaling pathway. The activated Wnt signaling pathway enhances the migration, invasion, and metastatic colonization capabilities of OL cells. The transfer of lncRNA Gm33149 via exosomes contributes to OL cells acquiring ""metastatic competency"" while promoting their metastatic colonization. These findings underscore the importance of lncRNA Gm33149 in intercellular communication and the metastatic progression of melanoma."

Unfortunately, as more therapeutic choices have developed over time, the gradual emergence of drug resistance has become a notable impediment to the effectiveness of these therapeutic interventions. The hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/c-met signaling pathway has attracted considerable attention, associated with drug resistance stemming from multiple potential mutations within the c-met gene.

However, they have primarily focused on either the fetal or early postnatal period, leaving a gap in our understanding of skin development. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive time-series analysis by combining single-cell RNA-sequencing datasets collected at different stages of development (embryonic days 13.5, 14.5, and 16.5 and postnatal days 0, 2, and 4) and validated our findings through multipanel in situ spatial transcriptomics. Our analysis indicated that embryonic fibroblasts exhibit heterogeneity from a very early stage and that the rapid determination of each lineage occurs within days after birth. The expression of putative key driver genes, including Hey1, Ebf1, Runx3, and Sox11 for the dermal papilla trajectory; Lrrc15 for the dermal sheath trajectory; Zfp536 and Nrn1 for the papillary fibroblast trajectory; and Lrrn4cl and Mfap5 for the fascia fibroblast trajectory, was detected in the corresponding, spatially identified cell types. Finally, cell-to-cell interaction analysis indicated that the dermal papilla lineage is the primary source of the noncanonical Wnt pathway during skin development. Together, our study provides a transcriptomic reference for future research in the field of skin development and regeneration."

In recent years, the innovation of traditional Chinese medicine has broadened the scope and effect of tumor treatment. It is a hotspot and breakthrough to find new anti-tumor invasion and migration drugs from natural plants or traditional Chinese medicine. This study explored the role of PPII in promoting autophagy to inhibit EMT of melanoma cells, the role of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in the invasion and migration of melanoma cells induced by PPII. We found that PPII effectively inhibited the proliferation, invasion and migration of melanoma B16 and B16F10 in vitro, and induced autophagy. We also established the xenograft tumor and metastatic tumor model of C57BL/6 mice with B16F10 cells. Results showed that PPII effectively inhibited the growth of transplanted tumors, induced autophagy and inhibited the expression level of EMT related protein; Metastasis experiment showed that PPII inhibited the invasion and migration of B16F10, the effect of inhibiting lung metastasis is the most significant. Further mechanism studies showed that the inhibition of PPII on melanoma invasion and migration is related to its induction of autophagy and then inhibition of EMT."

The challenge of accurately diagnosing skin cancer, particularly melanoma, persists even for experienced dermatologists due to the intricate and unpredictable nature of its symptoms. To address the need for more accurate and efficient skin cancer detection, a novel Golden Hawk Optimization-based Distributed Capsule Neural Network (GHO-DCaNN) is proposed. This novel technique leverages advanced computational methods to improve the reliability and precision of skin cancer diagnosis. An optimized clustering-based segmentation approach is introduced, integrating the innovative Sewer Shad Fly Optimization (SSFO), which combines elements of both mayfly and moth flame optimization. This integration enhances the accuracy of lesion boundary delineation and feature extraction. The core of the innovation lies in the optimized distributed capsule neural network, which is trained using the Hybrid GHO. This optimizer, inspired by the behaviors of the golden eagle and fire hawk, ensures the effectiveness of epidermis lesion detection, pushing the boundaries of skin cancer diagnosis methods. The achievements based on the metrics, like specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy show 97.53%, 99.05%, and 98.83% for 90% of training and 97.83%, 99.50%, and 99.06% for k-fold of 10, respectively."
+9794,skin cancer,38071709,Articles from 2022 to 2023 to Inform Your Cancer Practice: Melanoma.,"Modern effective systemic therapy for melanoma includes two important classes of treatment: immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), comprising inhibitors of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4, programmed cell death receptor 1, and lymphocyte-activation gene 3; and small molecule BRAF/MEK inhibitor therapy. These treatments have revolutionized the management of patients with advanced melanoma and have dramatically improved clinical outcomes. The melanoma treatment landscape continues to evolve as outcome data from completed trials continue to mature and as newer studies begin to report data. In 2022 and 2023, longer-term follow-up data for established single-agent ICI therapy has been published improving our understanding of both efficacy and durability of treatment responses. A trial of a novel combination ICI therapy has demonstrated enhanced efficacy, and a study examining the order/sequence of ICI therapy versus BRAF/MEK inhibitor therapy for first-line treatment of metastatic melanoma showed that survival is improved when patients start with ICI therapy. As the indications for these therapies have expanded to the adjuvant and neoadjuvant space, we also saw the publication of 5-year results of adjuvant therapy in resected stage III patients, new data on the role of adjuvant therapy in resected stage IIB and IIC patients, and, finally, a practice-changing trial demonstrating improved outcomes using a neoadjuvant approach for patients with macroscopic disease amenable to surgical resection.

Regulatory Associated Protein of MTOR Complex 1 (RPTOR), one of the genes in the mTOR pathway, plays a role in regulating tumor progression. However, the connection between RPTOR mutation and the efficacy of ICIs in melanoma remains unclear. The data of ICIs-treated melanoma patients in discovery (n = 384) and validation (n = 320) cohorts were obtained from cBioPortal databases. The genomic data in the two cohorts was used to investigate the connection between RPTOR mutation and immunotherapy efficacy. The underlying mechanisms were explored based on data from the The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) cohort. Compared to melanoma patients with RPTOR wildtype (RPTOR-WT), RPTOR-mutation (RPTOR-Mut) patients achieved prolonged overall survival (OS) in both discovery cohort (median OS of 49.3 months vs. 21.7 months; HR = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.18-0.92; P = 0.026) and validation cohorts (not reached vs. 42.0 months; HR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.11-1.06; P = 0.049). RPTOR-Mut melanoma patients exhibited a higher objective response rate (ORR) than RPTOR-WT patients in the discovery cohort (55.0% vs. 29.0%, P = 0.022). RPTOR-Mut patients exhibited higher TMB than RPTOR-WT patients in both discovery and validation cohorts (P < 0.001). RPTOR-Mut melanoma patients had an increased number of DNA damage response (DDR) mutations in TCGA-SKCM cohort. Immune cell infiltration analysis suggested that activated CD4 memory T cells were more enriched in RPTOR-Mut tumors. RPTOR-Mut melanoma patients had higher expression levels of immune-related genes than the RPTOR-WT patients. Our results suggest that RPTOR mutation could serve as a predictor of effective immunotherapy for melanoma."

+9803,skin cancer,38070581,BRD9 status is a major contributor for cysteine metabolic remodeling through MST and EAAT3 modulation in malignant melanoma.,"Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is the most aggressive skin cancer, showing globally increasing incidence. Hereditary CM accounts for a significant percentage (5-15 %) of all CM cases. However, most familial cases remain without a known genetic cause. Even though, BRD9 has been associated to CM as a susceptibility gene. The molecular events following BRD9 mutagenesis are still not completely understood. In this study, we disclosed BRD9 as a key regulator in cysteine metabolism and associated altered BRD9 to increased cell proliferation, migration and invasiveness, as well as to altered melanin levels, inducing higher susceptibility to melanomagenesis. It is evident that BRD9 WT and mutated BRD9 (c.183G>C) have a different impact on cysteine metabolism, respectively by inhibiting and activating MPST expression in the metastatic A375 cell line. The effect of the mutated BRD9 variant was more evident in A375 cells than in the less invasive WM115 line. Our data point out novel molecular and metabolic mechanisms dependent on BRD9 status that potentially account for the increased risk of developing CM and enhancing CM aggressiveness. Moreover, our findings emphasize the role of cysteine metabolism remodeling in melanoma progression and open new queues to follow to explore the role of BRD9 as a melanoma susceptibility or cancer-related gene."

Because of this, the previous study of the chronic UVB injury model has found that hsa-miR-300 can conduct intercellular transport by exosomes and target regulation of GADD45B. Whether the hsa-miR-300-GADD45B still regulates tumor development by cell cycle pathway is unclear. Through transcriptomic analysis of primary (n=39) and metastatic (n=102) melanoma, it was confirmed that in metastatic samples, some of the 97 down-regulated genes participate in maintaining skin homeostasis while 42 up-regulated genes were enriched in cancer-related functions. Furthermore, CDKN1A, CDKN2A, CXCR4 and RAD51 in the melanoma pathway, were also differentially expressed between normal skin and melanoma. CDKN1A and CDKN2A were also found to be involved in TP53-dependent cell cycle regulation. In conclusion, it was speculated that CDKN1A, CDKN2A, TP53, GADD45B and hsa-miR-300 may have regulatory relationships. It was demonstrated that there is a bidirectional regulation between hsa-miR-300 and TP53. In addition, miR-300 can regulate CDKN1A by GADD45B/TP53 and promote melanoma growth by accelerating the cell cycle transition from G1/S to G2 phase."

In cases of larger defects, skin from adjacent units is used. Traditionally, two-stage surgical flaps have been employed for reconstructing these defects. Tunnelized island flaps allow for the one-stage surgical reconstruction of nasal pyramid defects, using tissue from the forehead or cheek for the flap. (2) Methods: Descriptive retrospective study of 21 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for defects on the nasal pyramid using tunnelized island flaps. (3) Results: Surgical reconstruction was performed in 21 patients with basal cell carcinomas, 14 of them using the melolabial island flap and 7 using the paramedian forehead island flap. In all cases except one, clear histological margins were obtained. Immediate complications were mild and minor. It is worth noting the trapdoor effect complication, which improved over time in most cases, resulting in a satisfactory cosmetic outcome. No tumor recurrences were observed during an average follow-up period of 17.7 months. (4) Conclusions: Tunnelized island flaps allow for single-stage reconstruction of nasal pyramid defects, yielding excellent cosmetic results by utilizing adjacent skin. This procedure demands a certain level of skill but is associated with minimal complications, making it a valuable alternative in reconstructive dermatological surgery."

BCC and SCC, while constituting the most prevalent categories of skin cancer, are generally considered less aggressive compared to MM. Notably, MM possesses a greater capacity for invasiveness, enabling infiltration into adjacent tissues and dissemination via both the circulatory and lymphatic systems. Risk factors associated with skin cancer encompass ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure, fair skin complexion, a history of sunburn incidents, genetic predisposition, immunosuppressive conditions, and exposure to environmental carcinogens. Early detection of skin cancer is of paramount importance to optimize treatment outcomes and preclude the progression of disease, either locally or to distant sites. In pursuit of this objective, numerous computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems have been developed. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI), distinguished by its capacity to capture information spanning the electromagnetic spectrum, surpasses conventional RGB imaging, which relies solely on three color channels. Consequently, this study offers a comprehensive exploration of recent CAD investigations pertaining to skin cancer detection and diagnosis utilizing HSI, emphasizing diagnostic performance parameters such as sensitivity and specificity."

Treatment options remain limited due to the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms associated with melanoma heterogeneity that underlie the rapid development of secondary drug resistance. For this reason, the development of novel treatments remains paramount to the improvement of patient outcomes. Although the advent of chimeric antigen receptor-expressing T (CAR-T) cell immunotherapies has led to many clinical successes for hematological malignancies, these treatments are limited in their utility by their immune-induced side effects and a high risk of systemic toxicities. CAR natural killer (CAR-NK) cell immunotherapies are a particularly promising alternative to CAR-T cell immunotherapies, as they offer a more favorable safety profile and have the capacity for fine-tuned cytotoxic activity. In this review, the discussion of the prospects and potential of CAR-NK cell immunotherapies touches upon the clinical contexts of melanoma, the immunobiology of NK cells, the immunosuppressive barriers preventing endogenous immune cells from eliminating tumors, and the structure and design of chimeric antigen receptors, then finishes with a series of proposed design innovations that could improve the efficacy CAR-NK cell immunotherapies in future studies."

+9826,skin cancer,38066848,Clinical manifestations of telomere biology disorders in adults.,"Telomere biology disorders (TBDs) are a spectrum of inherited bone marrow failure syndromes caused by impaired telomere function due to pathogenic germline variants in genes involved in telomere maintenance. TBDs can affect many organ systems and are often thought of as diseases of childhood. However, TBDs may present in mid- or even late adulthood with features similar to but not always the same as the childhood-onset TBDs. Adult-onset TBDs are often cryptic with isolated pulmonary, liver, or hematologic disease, or cancer, and may lack the classic disease-defining triad of abnormal skin pigmentation, nail dysplasia, and oral leukoplakia. Diagnostics include detection of very short leukocyte telomeres and germline genetic testing. Notably, adult-onset TBDs may show telomeres in the 1st to 10th percentile for age, and some cases may not have an identifiable genetic cause. TBD genetic etiology includes all modes of inheritance, with autosomal dominant the most frequent in adult-onset disease. Variable symptom onset due to incomplete penetrance, variable expressivity, and genetic anticipation add to the diagnostic challenges. Adult-onset TBDs are likely underrecognized, but their correct identification is of utmost importance, since affected patients are faced with numerous clinical complications, including but not limited to an increased risk of malignancies requiring close surveillance for early detection. Currently lung, liver, or hematopoietic cell transplants are the only curative therapeutic approaches but can be complicated by comorbidities, despite improved medical care. This review highlights the challenges of identifying adult-onset TBDs and addresses currently recommended clinical screening measures and therapy options."

However, it is not known whether having an allergic sensitization influences the prognosis and advancement of cancer disease. Thus, the aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between allergic sensitization and oral cancer advancement and patient survival. Allergen-specific IgE antibodies were investigated by ImmunoCAP™ Rapid in consecutive 80 patients with oral cancer. ImmunoCAP Rapid system tests a mix of representative inhalant allergens such as birch, timothy grass, mugwort, house dust mite, cat, dog, cockroach, olive (pollen), wall pellitory and mold. Eighty patients met the inclusion criteria for the study. Fifteen patients (19%) had positive ImmunoCAP test. There was no statistically significant difference in primary tumour size (T-stage) between groups (60% in allergy vs 68% in non-allergy had T1-T2 stage and 40% vs 32% T3-T4, respectively, p = 0.570). 27% of patients with allergy had nodal metastases compared with 37% of patients without allergy (p = 0.557). Both groups had comparable short-term survival. In conclusion, allergic sensitization does not seem to influence either the advancement or the short-term survival of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma."

This study was undertaken to determine the most sensitive immunohistochemical panel for detecting MCC nodal metastases. We included 56 patients with 102 metastatic MCC lymph nodes, which were tested with seven antibodies: cytokeratin (CKAE1/AE3), CK20, chromogranin A, synaptophysin, INSM1, SATB2, and neurofilament (NF). Tissue microarrays (TMA) composed of 2-mm tissue cores from each nodal metastasis were constructed. A semiquantitative 5-tier scoring system (0%, < 25%, 25-74%, 75-99%, 100% positive MCC cells with moderate to strong reactivity) was implemented. In the statistical assessment, we included Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) status and expression heterogeneity between lymph nodes from one patient. A cumulative percentage of moderate to strong expression ≥ 75% of tumoral cells was observed for single cell markers as follows: 91/102 (89.2%) SATB2, 85/102 (83%) CKAE1/AE3, 80/102 (78.4%) synaptophysin, 75/102 (75.5%) INSM1, 68/102 (66.7%) chromogranin A, 60/102 cases (58.8%) CK20, and 0/102 (0%) NF. Three markers presented a complete lack of immunoreactivity: 8/102 (7.8%) CK20, 7/102 (6.9%) chromogranin A, and 6/102 (5.9%) NF. All markers showed expression heterogeneity in lymph nodes from one patient; however, the most homogenous was INSM1. The probability of detecting nodal MCC metastases was the highest while using SATB2 as a first-line marker (89.2%) with subsequential adding CKAE1/AE3 (99%); these results were independent of MCPyV status. Synaptophysin showed a superior significance in confirming the neuroendocrine origin of metastatic cells. This comprehensive analysis allows us to recommend simultaneous evaluation of SATB2, CKAE1/AE3, and synaptophysin in the routine pathologic MCC lymph node protocol."
+9831,skin cancer,38066089,ERK hyperactivation serves as a unified mechanism of escape in intrinsic and acquired CDK4/6 inhibitor resistance in acral lentiginous melanoma.,"Patients with metastatic acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) suffer worse outcomes relative to patients with other forms of cutaneous melanoma (CM), and do not benefit as well to approved melanoma therapies. Identification of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) pathway gene alterations in >60% of ALMs has led to clinical trials of the CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4i/6i) palbociclib for ALM; however, median progression free survival with CDK4i/6i treatment was only 2.2 months, suggesting existence of resistance mechanisms. Therapy resistance in ALM remains poorly understood; here we report hyperactivation of MAPK signaling and elevated cyclin D1 expression serve as a mechanism of intrinsic early/adaptive CDK4i/6i resistance. ALM cells that have acquired CDK4i/6i resistance following chronic treatment exposure also exhibit hyperactivation of the MAPK pathway. MEK and/or ERK inhibition increases CDK4i/6i efficacy against therapy naïve and CDK4i/6i-resistant AM cells in xenograft and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models and promotes a defective DNA repair, cell cycle arrested and apoptotic program. Notably, gene alterations poorly correlate with protein expression of cell cycle proteins in ALM or efficacy of CDK4i/6i, urging additional strategies when stratifying patients for CDK4i/6i trial inclusion. Concurrent targeting of the MAPK pathway and CDK4/6 represents a new approach for patients with metastatic ALM to improve outcomes."

+9835,skin cancer,38065413,Laser-induced vapor nanobubbles for B16-F10 melanoma cell killing and intracellular delivery of chemotherapeutics.,"The most lethal form of skin cancer is cutaneous melanoma, a tumor that develops in the melanocytes, which are found in the epidermis. The treatment strategy of melanoma is dependent on the stage of the disease and often requires combined local and systemic treatment. Over the years, systemic treatment of melanoma has been revolutionized and shifted toward immunotherapeutic approaches. Phototherapies like photothermal therapy (PTT) have gained considerable attention in the field, mainly because of their straightforward applicability in melanoma skin cancer, combined with the fact that these strategies are able to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD), linked with a specific antitumor immune response. However, PTT comes with the risk of uncontrolled heating of the surrounding healthy tissue due to heat dissipation. Here, we used pulsed laser irradiation of endogenous melanin-containing melanosomes to induce cell killing of B16-F10 murine melanoma cells in a non-thermal manner. Pulsed laser irradiation of the B16-F10 cells resulted in the formation of water vapor nanobubbles (VNBs) around endogenous melanin-containing melanosomes, causing mechanical cell damage. We demonstrated that laser-induced VNBs are able to kill B16-F10 cells with high spatial resolution. When looking more deeply into the cell death mechanism, we found that a large part of the B16-F10 cells succumbed rapidly after pulsed laser irradiation, reaching maximum cell death already after 4 h. Practically all necrotic cells demonstrated exposure of phosphatidylserine on the plasma membrane and caspase-3/7 activity, indicative of regulated cell death. Furthermore, calreticulin, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), three key damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) in ICD, were found to be exposed from B16-F10 cells upon pulsed laser irradiation to an extent that exceeded or was comparable to the bona fide ICD-inducer, doxorubicin. Finally, we could demonstrate that VNB formation from melanosomes induced plasma membrane permeabilization. This allowed for enhanced intracellular delivery of bleomycin, an ICD-inducing chemotherapeutic, which further boosted cell death with the potential to improve the systemic antitumor immune response."

During this time, children develop more autonomy and spend more unsupervised time away from their parents. Professional agencies recommend that all children engage in regular sun protection behaviors and avoid the sun during peak daytime hours. Unfortunately, in middle childhood, child sun protection often declines and UV radiation exposure increases. Effective parenting involves balancing ways to encourage the child's increasing independence while providing practical assistance to ensure sun protection is implemented."
+9840,skin cancer,38064126,Management of melanoma: can we use gene expression profiling to help guide treatment and surveillance?,"Although the incidence of cutaneous melanoma (CM) has been increasing annually, the mortality rate has been decreasing, likely due to better prevention, earlier detection, improved surveillance, and the development of new therapies. Current clinical management guidelines by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) are based on patient risk assignment using staging criteria established by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC). However, some patients with localized disease (stage I-II), generally considered to have a good prognosis, will develop metastatic disease and die, whereas some patients with later stage disease (stage III-IV) will be cured by surgery, adjuvant therapy, and/or systemic therapy. These results emphasize the importance of identifying patients whose risk may be over or underestimated with standard staging. Gene expression profile (GEP) tests are noninvasive molecular tests that assess the expression levels of a panel of validated genes, providing information about tumor prognosis, including the risk of recurrence, metastasis, and cancer-specific death. GEP tests can provide prognostic information beyond standard staging that may aid clinicians and patients in treatment and surveillance management decisions. This review describes how combining clinicopathologic staging with a robust assessment of tumor biology may provide information that will allow more refined intervention and long-term management."
+9841,skin cancer,38064018,Identifying sunscreen deserts in Cuyahoga County.,"Low sunscreen use in patients of color (POC) is multifactorial and could be partially attributable to lack of access or the lack of knowledge about its use beyond skin cancer prevention. Dyschromia is among the top diagnoses for POC and sunscreen is first-line management. POC and lower socioeconomic status often face health disparities and are susceptible to having difficulty accessing food, health care, and medication. We look to see if they extend to sunscreen access by evaluating physical retailers. This study investigated sunscreen access by identifying potential sunscreen deserts and characterizing sunscreen availability and affordability in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Sunscreen deserts were defined as census tracts that were both low-income and low-access, adapted from the definition of food deserts. Google Maps search of ""sunscreen"" and ""sunscreen store"" in Cuyahoga County identified sunscreen retailers to geocode addresses. Total number and average cost of sunscreens were collected for each retailer and compared by community type. Fisher exact test, analysis of variance, and logistic regression were used for analysis. One hundred forty-six retailers were included in analysis of four hundred twenty-one census tracts in the county. Sixty-seven tracts met the definition of sunscreen desert. Majority White tracts were less likely to be deserts and had more sunscreen formulations, than Majority Black tracts (p < 0.001). The majority of sunscreen deserts were in predominantly black communities, which had fewer stores and sunscreen formulations available. These findings indicate a lack of sunscreen available to a demographic of patients that could benefit from increased access, as it would help manage hyperpigmentation."

+9859,skin cancer,38061920,Radiation-targeted immunotherapy: A new perspective in cancer radiotherapy.,"In contemporary oncology, radiation therapy and immunotherapy stand as critical treatments, each with distinct mechanisms and outcomes. Radiation therapy, a key player in cancer management, targets cancer cells by damaging their DNA with ionizing radiation. Its effectiveness is heightened when used alongside other treatments like surgery and chemotherapy. Employing varied radiation types like X-rays, gamma rays, and proton beams, this approach aims to minimize damage to healthy tissue. However, it is not without risks, including potential damage to surrounding normal cells and side effects ranging from skin inflammation to serious long-term complications. Conversely, immunotherapy marks a revolutionary step in cancer treatment, leveraging the body's immune system to target and destroy cancer cells. It manipulates the immune system's specificity and memory, offering a versatile approach either alone or in combination with other treatments. Immunotherapy is known for its targeted action, long-lasting responses, and fewer side effects compared to traditional therapies. The interaction between radiation therapy and immunotherapy is intricate, with potential for both synergistic and antagonistic effects. Their combined use can be more effective than either treatment alone, but careful consideration of timing and sequence is essential. This review explores the impact of various radiation therapy regimens on immunotherapy, focusing on changes in the immune microenvironment, immune protein expression, and epigenetic factors, emphasizing the need for personalized treatment strategies and ongoing research to enhance the efficacy of these combined therapies in cancer care."

They are histologically characterized through non-epidermotropic nodular or diffuse infiltrates consisting of small or medium heterogeneous atypical lymphoid cells. In the past few years, chemotherapy has increased the survival rate of breast cancer patients. However, the adverse effects of treatment, such as leukemia, have also been shown to emerge gradually. Additionally, cases of occurrence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) post chemotherapy have also been reported. A 48-year-old female patient was presented with a violaceous nodule on her left thigh. Around 15 months ago, she completed breast cancer chemotherapy. Eight months later, a skin lesion appeared. Histological findings revealed dense and nodular lymphocyte infiltration. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for CD20 and BCL2. Clinical and histological examination of the lesions confirmed PCMZL. After systemic evaluation, lymphoma was found to be limited to the skin, and thus, she underwent complete excision of the lesion. At the first month follow-up, there was a recurrent lesion on the right wrist, which was excised successfully. However, recurrences occurred again in the calf and forearm in the following five and two months, respectively. These lesions were also confirmed with PCMZL using biopsy. We assume that this case is related to chemotherapy as it was presented and recurred abruptly post chemotherapy. Additionally, there are several reported cases of NHL post breast cancer chemotherapy. However, this is the first case report of PCMZL associated with chemotherapy."

Diffuse erythematous to purplish-colored sclerotic patches were observed. He had been treated with intravenous antibiotics for two weeks for cellulitis, but the lesion did not improve. Punch biopsy, and neck computed tomography (CT) with contrast enhancement were performed to differentiate between cellulitis and scleroderma. Histopathological examination revealed infiltration of pleomorphic and poorly differentiated tumor cells extending into thickened collagen bundles, and mitotic activity. Based on histologic and radiologic findings, the patient was suspected to have poorly differentiated carcinoma, and further evaluation of the origin of the carcinoma was performed. A subareolar mass on the left breast was observed on chest CT, and a needle biopsy was performed; results were consistent with findings from the skin biopsy. Finally, the patient was diagnosed with carcinoma en cuirasse, a subtype of cutaneous metastasis of breast cancer, was transferred to oncology, and underwent palliative chemotherapy."

Although BCC arises most commonly in sun-exposed areas of the body, such as the head and neck, it infrequently can be seen in sun-protected parts as well. Axilla is one of the least encountered areas of BCC. Delay in the diagnosis or management alongside negligence of the patient can lead to a tumor reaching a giant size. We report a case of giant axillary BCC in a 59-years old female patient with no known risk factors for skin cancers. The tumor was excised with wide margins, and the tissue defect was reconstructed with latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap. A 3-year follow-up did not show any sign of recurrence or metastasis."

It is characterized by brown macules distributed in the perioral skin, oral mucosa, hands and feet, and hamartomatous gastrointestinal polyps that can eventually lead to intestinal obstruction, abdominal pain, bleeding, and anemia. Patients with PJS are at a higher risk of ovarian, testicular, breast, lung, and pancreatic cancers. This predisposition is due to the pathogenic variant in serine/threonine kinase 11 ("
+9866,skin cancer,38061664,A metabolic perspective on nitric oxide function in melanoma.,"Nitric oxide (NO) generated from nitric oxide synthase (NOS) exerts a dichotomous effect in melanoma, suppressing or promoting tumor progression. This dichotomy is thought to depend on the intracellular NO concentration and the cell type in which it is generated. Due to its central role in the metabolism of multiple critical constituents involved in signaling and stress, it is crucial to explore NO's contribution to the metabolic dysfunction of melanoma. This review will discuss many known metabolites linked to NO production in melanoma. We discuss the synthesis of these metabolites, their role in biochemical pathways, and how they alter the biological processes observed in the melanoma tumor microenvironment. The metabolic pathways altered by NO and the corresponding metabolites reinforce its dual role in melanoma and support investigating this effect for potential avenues of therapeutic intervention."
+9867,skin cancer,38061662,Preparation of paeoniflorin-glycyrrhizic acid complex transethosome gel and its preventive and therapeutic effects on melasma.,"Paeoniflorin (PF) and glycyrrhizic acid (GL) have skin beautifying effects of anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, inhibition of melanin formation, and reduction of skin pigmentation. To improve the transdermal permeability of PF and GL in transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) and enhance their anti-melasma efficacy, PF-GL transethosome (PF-GL-TE) was prepared by ethanol injection method, and finally gelled with carbomer-940 to form PF-GL-TE gel. Consequently, the obtained PF-GL-TE is small and uniform, with an average particle size and a PDI value of about 167.9 nm and 0.102. PF-GL-TE gel showed sustained release behavior and high transdermal permeability in vitro release and transdermal tests. Meanwhile, PF-GL-TE gel played significant preventive effects on melasma induced by progesterone injection and ultraviolet radiation B (UVB) irradiation. According to the results of H&E staining and Masson staining of rat skin, PF-GL-TE gel can alleviate the skin inflammation of and reduce the loss of collagen fibers of back skin in the melasma model rats. Compared with the PF-GL mixture gel, PF-GL-TE gel significantly attenuated the oxidative damage of liver and skin by increasing the activity of SOD and reducing the content of MDA. The results of Western blot showed that PF-GL-TE gel might down-regulate melanin-related proteins expressions of MITF/TYR/TRP1 and TRP2 to prevent and treat melasma. These findings indicate that PF-GL-TE gel is an effective TDDS for delivering PF and GL into the skin, providing a promising preparation for effective prevention and treatment of melasma."

+9873,skin cancer,38060563,ALPK1 mutants causing ROSAH syndrome or Spiradenoma are activated by human nucleotide sugars.,"The atypical protein kinase ALPK1 is activated by the bacterial nucleotide sugar ADP-heptose and phosphorylates TIFA to switch on a signaling pathway that combats microbial infection. In contrast, ALPK1 mutations cause two human diseases: the ALPK1[T237M] and ALPK1[Y254C] mutations underlie ROSAH syndrome (retinal dystrophy, optic nerve oedema, splenomegaly, anhidrosis, and migraine headache), while the ALPK1[V1092A] mutation accounts for 45% of spiradenoma and 30% of spiradenocarcinoma cases studied. In this study, we demonstrate that unlike wild-type (WT) ALPK1, the disease-causing ALPK1 mutants trigger the TIFA-dependent activation of an NF-κB/activator protein 1 reporter gene in the absence of ADP-heptose, which can be suppressed by either of two additional mutations in the ADP-heptose binding site that prevent the activation of WT ALPK1 by ADP-heptose. These observations are explained by our key finding that although ALPK1[T237M] and ALPK1[V1092A] are activated by bacterial ADP-heptose, they can also be activated by nucleotide sugars present in human cells (UDP-mannose, ADP-ribose, and cyclic ADP-ribose) which can be prevented by disruption of the ADP-heptose binding site. The ALPK1[V1092A] mutant was also activated by GDP-mannose, which did not activate ALPK1[T237M]. These are new examples of disease-causing mutations permitting the allosteric activation of an enzyme by endogenous molecules that the WT enzyme does not respond to. We propose that the loss of the specificity of ALPK1 for bacterial ADP-heptose underlies ROSAH syndrome and spiradenoma/spiradenocarcinoma caused by ALPK1 mutation."

+9875,skin cancer,38060072,The effects of procedural and conceptual knowledge on visual learning.,"Even though past research suggests that visual learning may benefit from conceptual knowledge, current interventions for medical image evaluation often focus on procedural knowledge, mainly by teaching classification algorithms. We compared the efficacy of pure procedural knowledge (three-point checklist for evaluating skin lesions) versus combined procedural plus conceptual knowledge (histological explanations for each of the three points). All students then trained their classification skills with a visual learning resource that included images of two types of pigmented skin lesions: benign nevi and malignant melanomas. Both treatments produced significant and long-lasting effects on diagnostic accuracy in transfer tasks. However, only students in the combined procedural plus conceptual knowledge condition significantly improved their diagnostic performance in classifying lesions they had seen before in the pre- and post-tests. Findings suggest that the provision of additional conceptual knowledge supported error correction mechanisms."

The study included subjects with histopathologically confirmed high-risk skin melanoma in clinical stages IIC, IIIA, IIIB, and IIIC, in whom clinical and radiographic signs of the disease were not confirmed after primary surgical treatment. The HRQoL was evaluated using Short Form-36 (SF-36) after completion of primary surgical treatment (start of follow-up) and after 6 to 12 months (end of follow-up). A total of 71 people completed SF-36 at both points in time. There were no significant differences between the initial and the follow-up total HRQoL score (t = 1.118; p = 0.267). At the start of follow-up, having fewer depressive symptoms, better functional status and lower vitamin D serum levels were associated with a better total HRQoL score. At the end of follow-up, having lower Breslow depth and being employed at the start of follow-up, having fewer depressive symptoms and lower C-reactive protein (CRP) serum levels at follow-up, and not developing metastases over follow-up were associated with a higher total HRQoL scores. The HRQoL of people with high-risk melanoma did not change in the year following the complete removal of the tumor. However, presence of depressive symptoms and metastases seem to have the strongest impact on poorer quality of life after surgery."

Recognition of current disparities in Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) access can assist future policy and clinical decisions to correct them. For the years 2014-2018, the CPT codes for MMS (17,311 and 17,313) were counted on a per county level across the United States per the Medicare Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare Prescriber Database. Any county with 0 MMS CPT codes recorded were classified as ""without MMS cases."" MMS ""hotspots"" were identified as counties that possessed a high average number of MMS cases compared to the national average, while also being surrounded by counties that possessed a low average number of MMS cases compared to the national average. Three thousand eighty-four counties in the United States were analyzed; 785 (25%) counties were designated as ""with MMS cases"" and 2301 (75%) ""without MMS cases."" There were no significant differences in age, ethnicity distribution, or cost per enrollee between the two designations. 74% of counties with MMS cases were considered urban, while only 25% of those without cases were urban (p < 0.01). The median household income was markedly higher in counties with MMS cases ($71,428 vs. $58,913, p < 0.01). With respect to education, more individuals in counties with MMS cases possessed their General Education Development (GED) (89% vs. 86%, p < 0.01) or a college degree (30% vs. 19%, p < 0.01). Forty-nine counties were considered MMS ""hotspots."" The density of MMS procedures varies greatly based on geography, maintaining the urban-rural disparity matched by the distribution of MMS surgeons. Additionally, there remains a wide income and educational gap between counties with and without MMS. Identifying MMS hotspots may facilitate further investigation into potential surgical access disparities."

+9880,skin cancer,38059993,Dermatologic surgeons' approaches to acral lentiginous melanoma: a survey of the American College of Mohs Surgery.,"Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) is a subtype of melanoma that primarily affects ethnic minorities and is associated with poor outcomes. Racial inequalities in melanoma survival, particularly between Blacks and Whites, have been well documented in the literature. There are limited data on the role of surgical approach to ALM and its contribution to the existing disparities in ALM survival. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the role of surgical approach to ALM among Mohs surgeons. The survey was distributed to members of the American College of Mohs Surgery (ACMS), with 43 physicians completing the survey. The results showed that there was no consensus among Mohs surgeons regarding the surgical approach for ALM, even for advanced stages. 74% respondents performed complete circumferential peripheral and deep margin assessment (CCPDMA) for ALM, including Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) or en face staged excision. However, barriers such as limited training, low comfort operating on acral sites, and inadequate access to specialized biopsies were reported. Treatment recommendations varied widely regardless of the ALM stage, with no significant differences based on exposure to ALM during training, practice setting, or percent of skin of color patients served. These findings highlight the lack of guidelines and the need for more data on outcomes to support optimal management of ALM. The study emphasizes the importance of addressing healthcare disparities and improving survival outcomes, particularly for ethnic minorities affected by ALM. Consensus guidelines could help standardize treatment approaches and potentially reduce disparities in ALM management."

A 34-year-old male with a family history of melanoma presented with a large, heterogeneous melanocytic lesion on the cheek. Histopathological review of two biopsies revealed an atypical intradermal melanocytic proliferation with spitzoid features without ulceration or regression. Scattered mitotic figures were identified. In addition to performing SOX10 IHC, PRAME and HMB45 staining highlighted weak, patchy positivity that was stronger in superficial, pleomorphic melanocytes (Ki-67, 5-7% mitotic rate). Based on these concerning but ambiguous IHC results and lingering concern for melanoma reiterated by other consulting dermatopathologists, the 23-GEP was requested for both specimens, which both returned a malignant result.

Activating immunogenic cell death (ICD) holds promise in enhancing tumor cell immunogenicity, stimulating immune amplification response, improving drug sensitivity, and eliminating tumors. Nanotechnology-enabled ICD has emerged as a compelling therapeutic strategy for augmenting cancer immunotherapy. Nanoparticles possess versatile attributes, such as prolonged blood circulation, stability, and tumor-targeting capabilities, rendering them ideal for drug delivery.

The splice variants of OPN can play essential roles in cancer development, progression, and metastasis formation; however, limited data are available about the role of OPN isoforms in human malignant melanoma. Our goal was to define the gene expression patterns of five OPN variants (OPN4, OPN5, OPNa, OPNb, and OPNc), integrin, and CD44 receptor genes in primary and metastatic melanoma-originated cell lines (n = 19), and to explore the association of the expression patterns with clinicopathological parameters. We evaluated the invasive property of the cell lines and investigated the potential association between the invasion and gene expression of OPN isoforms. We found a significant rise in the expression of OPNc in the invasive cell lines compared to the noninvasive cells and detected significantly higher expression of the OPN splice variants in melanoma cell lines originating from more advanced stages tumors than cell lines originating from early-stage melanomas. The correlation analysis revealed that all five OPN variants positively correlated with ITGB3 and ITGA9, whereas OPN5 positively correlated with ITGB1, ITGAV, ITGA6, and CD44. OPN can activate extracellular signal-regulated kinase signaling through binding to α9β1 integrin, promoting melanoma tumor cell migration. It is possible that such associations between OPN splice variants and integrin receptors may play a role in melanoma progression. In conclusion, our findings suggest that high expression of OPNc correlates with the invasive behavior of melanoma cells."

Here we discover that systemically administered CAR peptide has inherent ability to promote wound healing: wounds close and re-epithelialise faster in CAR-treated male mice. CAR promotes keratinocyte migration in vitro. The heparan sulfate proteoglycan syndecan-4 regulates cell migration and is crucial for wound healing. We report that syndecan-4 expression is restricted to epidermis and blood vessels in mice skin wounds. Syndecan-4 regulates binding and internalisation of CAR peptide and CAR-mediated cytoskeletal remodelling. CAR induces syndecan-4-dependent activation of the small GTPase ARF6, via the guanine nucleotide exchange factor cytohesin-2, and promotes syndecan-4-, ARF6- and Cytohesin-2-mediated keratinocyte migration. Finally, we show that genetic ablation of syndecan-4 in male mice eliminates CAR-induced wound re-epithelialisation following systemic administration. We propose that CAR peptide activates syndecan-4 functions to selectively promote re-epithelialisation.

Histologically, it may be difficult to differentiate it from metastatic mucinous carcinomas of the skin. A case of PMCS is reported here in a 59-year-old woman who presented with a lesion on the right lower eyelid. Histological examination revealed features of mucinous adenocarcinoma. The main differential diagnosis was metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma; however, the lack of colorectal and lung markers and the presence of focal in situ components were consistent with the diagnosis of PMCS. PMCS and breast mucinous carcinoma share immunohistochemical markers, such as GCDFP-15 and mammaglobin; however, focal in situ component with the presence of myoepithelial cells in the tumor ruled out metastatic mucinous carcinoma of breast origin. The subsequent mammograms did not reveal any breast lesions. Colonoscopy did not show any evidence of colonic malignancy, and imaging studies (CT scan) did not show any evidence of neoplasm in the body. These findings were in keeping with a diagnosis of PMCS. The present case emphasizes the importance of clinicopathological correlation, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry in the accurate diagnosis of PMCS and summarizes the literature on these rare cutaneous neoplasms."

However, the popularity and efficacy of cancer vaccines were hampered by tumor antigen heterogeneity and the impaired function of cross-presentation in the tumor-infiltrating dendritic cells (TIDCs). To overcome these challenges, we engineered an in situ nanovaccine (named as TPOP) based on lipid metabolism-regulating and innate immune-stimulated nanoparticles. TPOP could capture tumor antigens and induce specific recognition by TIDCs to be taken up. Meanwhile, TPOP could manipulate TIDC lipid metabolism and inhibit de novo synthesis of fatty acids, thus improving the ability of TIDCs to cross-present by reducing their lipid accumulation. Significantly, intratumoral injection of TPOP combined with pretreatment with doxorubicin showed a considerable therapeutic effect in the subcutaneous mouse colorectal cancer model and melanoma model. Moreover, in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors, such TPOP could markedly inhibit the growth of distant tumors by systemic antitumor immune responses. This work provides a safe and promising strategy for improving the function of immune cells by manipulating their metabolism and activating the immune system effectively for in situ cancer vaccines."

Pilomatrixoma has previously been reported at vaccination sites. This report is of a 65-year-old man with an 18-month history of an enlarging pilomatrixoma of the left upper arm at the vaccination site, following a first COVID-19 vaccination. CASE REPORT The case involves a 65-year-old man who developed a left shoulder mass 1.5 years ago. The mass appeared at his COVID-19 vaccine site 3 months after receiving the first dose. The mass measures 3 cm in diameter, was mobile, and exhibited no signs of infection in the physical examination. Surgical excision was performed, and pathology confirmed the mass as a pilomatrixoma, characterized by basaloid cells and keratinization. Three months after surgery, no recurrence was observed. CONCLUSIONS This report has presented an association between vaccination injection sites and pilomatrixoma aligning with previous findings. Enhanced awareness about this condition can substantially improve pilomatrixoma diagnosis accuracy and reduce unnecessary examinations and treatments. Furthermore, we recommend that, along with clinical symptoms, ultrasound imaging be considered a valuable diagnostic tool for pilomatrixoma, with histopathological results to confirm the diagnosis."

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and demographic characteristics of oral and maxillofacial lesions in geriatric patients (age ≥ 60 years). A retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study was performed. Biopsy records were obtained from archives of three Brazilian oral pathology centers over a 20-year period. Data on sex, age, anatomical site, skin color, and histopathological diagnosis were collected and analyzed. Pearson's chi-square test was used to evaluate differences in the frequency of the different oral and maxillofacial lesion groups. A total of 7,476 biopsy records of older patients were analyzed. Most cases were diagnosed in patients aged 60 to 69 years (n = 4,487; 60.0%). Females were more affected (n = 4,403; 58.9%) with a female-to-male ratio of 1:0.7 (p < 0.001). The tongue (n = 1,196; 16.4%), lower lip (n = 1,005; 13.8%), and buccal mucosa (n = 997; 13.7%) were the most common anatomical sites. Reactive and inflammatory lesions (n = 3,840; 51.3%) were the most prevalent non-neoplastic pathologies (p < 0.001), followed by cysts (n = 475; 6.4%). Malignant neoplasms were more frequent (n = 1,353; 18.1%) than benign neoplasms (n = 512; 6.8%).

Treatment options for this disease are limited. Immune checkpoint blockade using ipilimumab and nivolumab has recently been approved as a frontline therapy, but this led to only a small improvement in overall patient survival. As more than half of patients with mesothelioma have alterations in the gene encoding for BAP1 this could be a potential marker for targeted therapies. In this study, we investigated the synergistic potential of combining EZH2 inhibition together with FGFR inhibition for treatment of BAP1-deficient malignancies. The efficacy of the combination was evaluated using human and murine preclinical models of mesothelioma and uveal melanoma in vitro. The efficacy of the combination was further validated in vivo by using BAP1-deficient mesothelioma xenografts and autochthonous mouse models. In vitro data showed sensitivity to the combined inhibition in BAP1-deficient mesothelioma and uveal melanoma tumor cell lines but not for BAP1-proficient subtypes. In vivo data showed susceptibility to the combination of BAP1-deficient xenografts and demonstrated an increase of survival in autochthonous models of mesothelioma. These results highlight the potential of this novel drug combination for the treatment of mesothelioma using BAP1 as a biomarker. Given these encouraging preclinical results, it will be important to clinically explore dual EZH2/FGFR inhibition in patients with BAP1-deficient malignant mesothelioma and justify further exploration in other BAP1 loss-associated tumors."
+9918,skin cancer,38054436,Resistin - A Plausible Therapeutic Target in the Pathogenesis of Psoriasis.,"Resistin, a cytokine hormone predominantly secreted by adipose tissue, is elevated in various metabolic disorders such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. In addition to its involvement in metabolic regulation, resistin has been implicated in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disorder. Numerous studies have reported increased resistin levels in psoriatic skin lesions, suggesting a possible association between resistin and psoriasis. Recent studies have suggested the potential involvement of resistin in the development and progression of certain cancers. Resistin is overexpressed in breast, colorectal, and gastric cancers. This suggests that it may play a role in the development of these cancers, possibly by inducing inflammation and cell growth. The link between resistin and cancer raises the possibility of shared underlying mechanisms driving the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Chronic inflammation, one such mechanism, is a hallmark of psoriasis and cancer. Further research is needed to fully understand the relationship between resistin and psoriasis. Identifying potential therapeutic targets is crucial for effective management of psoriasis. By doing so, we may be able to develop more effective treatment options for individuals living with psoriasis and ultimately improve their quality of life. Ultimately, a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying the impact of resistin on psoriasis is essential for advancing our knowledge and finding new ways to treat and manage this challenging condition."

The dermoscopy procedure evaluates keratotic and pigmented skin changes. This study aimed to describe the clinical and dermoscopic actinic changes in the lips of 25 indigenous children living at high altitude in Ecuador. MATERIAL AND METHODS An observational study was conducted in a public school in the Andes region of Ecuador (August-November 2019). Twenty-five children, males and females, age 5-15 years were assessed by complete physical examination, digital dermoscopic photographs, and punch biopsies. Descriptive statistics and Fisher's exact test were used to summarize and analyze the data. RESULTS We included 17 (68%) boys and 8 (32%) girls with a mean age of 9.8±2.0 years. Clinical lips findings reported desquamation [52% Upper Lip (UL); 40% Lower Lip (LL)], fissuring (8% UL; 8% LL), scabs (8% UL; 8% LL), and discoloration (40% UL; 20% LL). Dermoscopic features included a white-yellow lip color (24% UL; p=0.02). The main morphologic pattern of blood vessels was monomorphic (88% UL; p<0.001), polymorphous (60% LL; p<0.001), dotted pattern (64% UL; 28% LL; p=0.02), and linear-irregular (32% UL; 72% LL; p=0.01). Girls had radiating white structures on UL (p=0.025), while boys presented white structureless areas (UL 63.6%; LL 77.8%; p=0.032). No differences in dermoscopic findings were observed according to Fitzpatrick scale score (FSS). Punch biopsies showed no indications of actinic cheilitis. CONCLUSIONS Dermoscopic features in indigenous children living in high altitudes were related to actinic damage, but histopathological findings were negative."

+9923,skin cancer,38053295,Research progress on hydrogel-based drug therapy in melanoma immunotherapy.,"Melanoma is one of the most aggressive skin tumors, and conventional treatment modalities are not effective in treating advanced melanoma. Although immunotherapy is an effective treatment for melanoma, it has disadvantages, such as a poor response rate and serious systemic immune-related toxic side effects. The main solution to this problem is the use of biological materials such as hydrogels to reduce these side effects and amplify the immune killing effect against tumor cells. Hydrogels have great advantages as local slow-release drug carriers, including the ability to deliver antitumor drugs directly to the tumor site, enhance the local drug concentration in tumor tissue, reduce systemic drug distribution and exhibit good degradability. Despite these advantages, there has been limited research on the application of hydrogels in melanoma treatment. Therefore, this article provides a comprehensive review of the potential application of hydrogels in melanoma immunotherapy. Hydrogels can serve as carriers for sustained drug delivery, enabling the targeted and localized delivery of drugs with minimal systemic side effects. This approach has the potential to improve the efficacy of immunotherapy for melanoma. Thus, the use of hydrogels as drug delivery vehicles for melanoma immunotherapy has great potential and warrants further exploration. [BMB Reports 2024; 57(2): 71-78]."

Here we report that abundant high-molecular-mass hyaluronic acid is found in a wide range of subterranean mammalian species, but not in phylogenetically related aboveground species. These subterranean mammalian species accumulate abundant high-molecular-mass hyaluronic acid by regulating the expression of genes involved in hyaluronic acid degradation and synthesis and contain unique mutations in these genes. The abundant high-molecular-mass hyaluronic acid may benefit the adaptation to subterranean environment by increasing skin elasticity and protecting from oxidative stress due to hypoxic conditions.

Despite advancements in clinical therapies, the overall cure rate for SKCM remains low due to its resistance to conventional treatments. Inflammation is associated with the activation and regulation of inflammatory responses and plays a crucial role in the immune system. It has been implicated in various physiological and pathological processes, including cancer. However, the mechanisms of inflammasome activation in SKCM remain largely unexplored. In this study, we quantified the expression level of six inflammasome-related gene sets using transcriptomic data from SKCM patients. As a result, we found that inflammasome features were closely associated with various clinical characteristics and served as a favorable prognostic factor for patients. A functional enrichment analysis revealed the oncogenic role of inflammasome features in SKCM. Unsupervised clustering was applied to identify immune clusters and inflammatory subtypes, revealing a significant overlap between immune cluster 4 and SKCM subtype 2. The CASP1, GSDMD, NLRP3, IL1B, and IL18 features could predict immune checkpoint blockade therapy response in various SKCM cohorts. In conclusion, our study highlighted the significant association between the inflammasome and cancer treatment. Understanding the role of inflammasome signaling in SKCM pathology can help identify potential therapeutic targets and improve patient prognosis."

+9939,skin cancer,38051781,Targeting beta-adrenergic receptor pathways in melanoma: how stress modulates oncogenic immunity.,"The intricate pathways of the sympathetic nervous system hold an inherently protective role in the setting of acute stress. This is achieved through dynamic immunomodulatory and neurobiological networks. However, excessive and chronic exposure to these stress-induced stimuli appears to cause physiologic dysfunction through several mechanisms that may impair psychosocial, neurologic, and immunologic health. Numerous preclinical observations have identified the beta-2 adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) subtype to possess the strongest impact on immune dysfunction in the setting of chronic stressful stimuli. This prolonged expression of β2-ARs appears to suppress immune surveillance and promote tumorigenesis within multiple cancer types. This occurs through several pathways, including (1) decreasing the frequency and function of CD8 + T-cells infiltrating the tumor microenvironment (TME) via inhibition of metabolic reprogramming during T cell activation, and (2) establishing an immunosuppressive profile within the TME including promotion of an exhausted T cell phenotype while simultaneously enhancing local and paracrine metastatic potential. The use of nonselective β-AR antagonists appears to reverse many chronic stress-induced tumorigenic pathways and may also provide an additive therapeutic benefit for various immune checkpoint modulating agents including commonly utilized immune checkpoint inhibitors. Here we review the translational and clinical observations highlighting the foundational hypotheses that chronic stress-induced β-AR signaling promotes a pro-tumoral immunophenotype and that blockade of these pathways may augment the therapeutic response of immune checkpoint inhibition within the scope of melanoma."

Tumour-Treating Fields (TTFields) Therapy, a novel therapeutic modality, has emerged as a promising approach to address this clinical conundrum. This review synthesizes the current evidence surrounding the efficacy of TTFields Therapy in the context of recurrent Glioblastoma. Diverse academic databases were explored to identify relevant studies published within the last decade. Strategic keyword selection facilitated the inclusion of studies focusing on TTFields Therapy's efficacy, treatment outcomes, and patient-specific factors. The review reveals a growing body of evidence suggesting the potential clinical benefits of TTFields Therapy for patients with recurrent Glioblastoma. Studies consistently demonstrate its positive impact on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). The therapy's safety profile remains favorable, with mild to moderate skin reactions being the most commonly reported adverse events. Our analysis highlights the importance of patient selection criteria, with emerging biomarkers such as PTEN mutation status influencing therapy response. Additionally, investigations into combining TTFields Therapy with other treatments, including surgical interventions and novel approaches, offer promising avenues for enhancing therapeutic outcomes. The synthesis of diverse studies underscores the potential of TTFields Therapy as a valuable addition to the armamentarium against recurrent Glioblastoma. The narrative review comprehensively explains the therapy's mechanisms, clinical benefits, adverse events, and future directions. The insights gathered herein serve as a foundation for clinicians and researchers striving to optimize treatment strategies for patients facing the challenging landscape of recurrent Glioblastoma."

The effects of CS have been believed to be transient and benign. However, CS induces severe pain, blepharospasm, lachrymation, airway obstruction, and skin blisters. Frequent injuries and hospitalizations have been reported after exposure. We have identified the sensory neuronal ion channel, transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), as a key CS target resulting in acute irritation and pain and also as a mediator of neurogenic inflammation. Here, we examined the effects of pharmacologic TRPA1 inhibition on CS-induced cutaneous injury. We modeled CS-induced cutaneous injury by applying 10 "

Here we show that skin-microangiopathy phenotypes in humans can be correlated with diabetes stage via morphophysiological cutaneous features extracted from raster-scan optoacoustic mesoscopy (RSOM) images of skin on the leg. We obtained 199 RSOM images from 115 participants (40 healthy and 75 with diabetes), and used machine learning to segment skin layers and microvasculature to identify clinically explainable features pertaining to different depths and scales of detail that provided the highest predictive power. Features in the dermal layer at the scale of detail of 0.1-1 mm (such as the number of junction-to-junction branches) were highly sensitive to diabetes stage. A 'microangiopathy score' compiling the 32 most-relevant features predicted the presence of diabetes with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.84. The analysis of morphophysiological cutaneous features via RSOM may allow for the discovery of diabetes biomarkers in the skin and for the monitoring of diabetes status."

It accumulates in buildings, and accounts for approximately half the ionizing radiation dose received by humans. The skin is considerably exposed to ionizing radiation from radon. We aimed to evaluate the association between residential radon exposure and melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma incidence. The study included 1.3 million adults (20 years and older) from the Swiss National Cohort who were residents of the cantons of Vaud, Neuchâtel, Valais, Geneva, Fribourg, and Ticino at the study baseline (December 04, 2000). Cases of primary tumours of skin (melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma) were identified using data from cantonal cancer registries. Long-term residential radon and ambient solar ultraviolet radiation exposures were assigned to each individual's address at baseline. Cox proportional hazard models with age as time scale, adjusted for canton, socioeconomic position, demographic data available in the census, and outdoor occupation were applied. Total and age specific effects were calculated, in the full population and in non-movers, and potential effect modifiers were tested. In total 4937 incident cases of melanoma occurred during an average 8.9 years of follow-up. Across all ages, no increased risk of malignant melanoma or squamous cell carcinoma incidence in relation to residential radon was found.

+9957,skin cancer,38048779,Role and function of plakophilin 3 in cancer progression and skin disease.,"Plakophilin 3 (PKP3), a component of desmosome, is aberrantly expressed in many kinds of human diseases, especially in cancers. Through direct interaction, PKP3 binds with a series of desmosomal proteins, such as desmoglein, desmocollin, plakoglobin, and desmoplakin, to initiate desmosome aggregation, then promotes its stability. As PKP3 is mostly expressed in the skin, loss of PKP3 promotes the development of several skin diseases, such as paraneoplastic pemphigus, pemphigus vulgaris, and hypertrophic scar. Moreover, accumulated clinical data indicate that PKP3 dysregulates in diverse cancers, including breast, ovarian, colon, and lung cancers. Numerous lines of evidence have shown that PKP3 plays important roles in multiple cellular processes during cancer progression, including metastasis, invasion, tumor formation, autophagy, and proliferation. This review examines the diverse functions of PKP3 in regulating tumor formation and development in various types of cancers and summarizes its detailed mechanisms in the occurrence of skin diseases."

+9967,skin cancer,38047899,Inflammasome Activation and IL-1β Release Triggered by Nanosecond Pulsed Electric Fields in Murine Innate Immune Cells and Skin.,"Although electric field-induced cell membrane permeabilization (electroporation) is used in a wide range of clinical applications from cancer therapy to cardiac ablation, the cellular- and molecular-level details of the processes that determine the success or failure of these treatments are poorly understood. Nanosecond pulsed electric field (nsPEF)-based tumor therapies are known to have an immune component, but whether and how immune cells sense the electroporative damage and respond to it have not been demonstrated. Damage- and pathogen-associated stresses drive inflammation via activation of cytosolic multiprotein platforms known as inflammasomes. The assembly of inflammasome complexes triggers caspase-1-dependent secretion of IL-1β and in many settings a form of cell death called pyroptosis. In this study we tested the hypothesis that the nsPEF damage is sensed intracellularly by the NLRP3 inflammasome. We found that 200-ns PEFs induced aggregation of the inflammasome adaptor protein ASC, activation of caspase-1, and triggered IL-1β release in multiple innate immune cell types (J774A.1 macrophages, bone marrow-derived macrophages, and dendritic cells) and in vivo in mouse skin. Efflux of potassium from the permeabilized cell plasma membrane was partially responsible for nsPEF-induced inflammasome activation. Based on results from experiments using both the NRLP3-specific inhibitor MCC950 and NLRP3 knockout cells, we propose that the damage created by nsPEFs generates a set of stimuli for the inflammasome and that more than one sensor can drive IL-1β release in response to electrical pulse stimulation. This study shows, to our knowledge, for the first time, that PEFs activate the inflammasome, suggesting that this pathway alarms the immune system after treatment."
+9968,skin cancer,38047502,Development and pharmacokinetic assessment of a fully canine anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody for comparative translational research in dogs with spontaneous tumors.,"PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment of patients with different cancer histologies including melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, and non-small cell lung carcinoma. However, only a subset of patients show a dramatic clinical response to treatment. Despite intense biomarker discovery efforts, no single robust, prognostic correlation has emerged as a valid outcome predictor. Immune competent, pet dogs develop spontaneous tumors that share similar features to human cancers including chromosome aberrations, molecular subtypes, immune signatures, tumor heterogeneity, metastatic behavior, and chemotherapeutic response. As such, they represent a valuable parallel patient population in which to investigate predictive biomarkers of checkpoint inhibition. However, the lack of a validated, non-immunogenic, canine anti-PD-1 antibody for pre-clinical use hinders this comparative approach and prevents potential clinical benefits of PD-1 blockade being realized in the veterinary clinic. To address this, fully canine single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) that bind canine (c)PD-1 were isolated from a comprehensive canine scFv phage display library. Lead candidates were identified that bound with high affinity to cPD-1 and inhibited its interaction with canine PD-L1 (cPD-L1). The lead scFv candidate re-formatted into a fully canine IgG"

+9971,skin cancer,38047262,Cutaneous adverse effects associated with LAG-3 inhibitor use in cancer treatment: A systematic review.,"Immunotherapy has become a mainstay of treatment for many cancers. Multiple immune checkpoint inhibitors have been used to treat malignancies, including anti-programed death-1 (PD1) and anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein (anti-CTLA4). However, a significant percentage of patients develop resistance to these immunotherapy drugs. Therefore, novel strategies were developed to target other aspects of the immune response. Lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3) is a cell-surface molecule found on natural killer cells and activated T-cells which negatively regulates T-cell proliferation and function. LAG-3 inhibitors interact with LAG-3 ligands on the surface of T-cells to block T-regulatory (Treg) cell activity, suppress cytokine secretion and restore dysfunctional effector T-cells which subsequently attack and destroy cancer cells. This review reports the dermatologic side effects associated with LAG-3 inhibitors used in the treatment of melanomas. Using PRISMA 2022 guidelines, a comprehensive literature review of PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases was conducted. Three studies were identified that demonstrated that the use of LAG-3 inhibitors, whether as a single agent or in combination with other immune checkpoint inhibitors, resulted in stomatitis, pruritus, rash, dry skin, erythema, and vitiligo. Further research is warranted to assess the cutaneous adverse events observed with LAG-3 inhibitors in treating melanoma and to identify populations most vulnerable to such side effects."

It is part of a spectrum of cystic hypersecretory lesions that includes cystic hypersecretory hyperplasia (CHH), CHH with atypia, CHC in situ, and CHC with invasion. Only 20 cases of CHC with invasion have been reported so far. A 60-year-old female presented with a palpable right breast mass. A core needle biopsy was carried out, which was reported as invasive breast carcinoma with areas of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Modified radical mastectomy was done post-neo-adjuvant chemotherapy; On microscopy, dilated cystic spaces filled with eosinophilic secretions (thyroid colloid-like), lining neoplastic cells with variable degrees of proliferation and atypia were seen. There were multiple foci of invasion; both skin invasion and axillary lymph node metastasis were present. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was done with relevant markers; correlating all these findings, a diagnosis of CHC with invasion was made. CHC is a distinct form of DCIS with or without associated invasion. Awareness of this entity is required to rule out other differential diagnoses and to avoid misinterpretation.

+9977,skin cancer,38046737,"Colorimetric Scale for Skin of Color: A Practical Classification Scale for the Clinical Assessment, Dermatology Management, and Forensic Evaluation of Individuals With Skin of Color.","Skin of color refers to individuals whose skin color ranges from very light beige to very dark brown. Anthropologists and sociologists have previously recognized the importance of an objective classification of skin color for individuals with skin of color that does not include race and ethnicity. Since 1975, dermatologists have used the Fitzpatrick classification of sun-reactive skin types to categorize patients with skin of color; this classification was established for psoriasis patients participating in using oral methoxsalen and phototherapy clinical trial to determine the initial ultraviolet A dose. The Fitzpatrick classification merely classifies individuals as white, brown, and black; the individuals with white skin are further divided into four groups based on their burning or tanning capacity. This classification system does not provide reliable information with regard to the risk of skin cancer for individuals with darker skin color and does not aid in the evaluation of medical conditions with cutaneous involvement or assessment of appropriate cosmetic interventions for aesthetic management. Many clinicians, including forensic pathologists, incorporate the patient's race or ethnicity in their medical evaluation to describe the individual's skin color. Established scales for skin of color either include white skin color, or include 10 or more color types, or include both. We introduce a simple and rapidly performed scale that is not based on race or ethnicity to categorize persons with skin of color. The colorimetric scale ranges from very light beige to very dark brown and does not include white skin. The scale has five colors ranging from lightest (skin color type 1) to darkest (skin color type 5): very light beige (skin color type 1), light brown (skin color type 2), medium brown (skin color type 3), dark brown (skin color type 4), and very dark brown (skin color type 5); an individual with white skin would have a skin color type 0 in this classification of patient skin color. In conclusion, a scale that is not based on race or ethnicity is useful for categorizing individuals with skin of color not only for sociologists but also for clinicians who treat these patients. This colorimetric scale will be helpful for dermatologists to categorize persons with skin of color to predict their risk for developing skin cancer and to assessing appropriate cosmetic procedures and devices for these patients. In addition, the colorimetric scale will be useful for not only forensic pathologists but also other clinicians to provide a non-racial and non-ethnic designation of skin color type for their patients."
+9978,skin cancer,38046409,Patient perspectives of artificial intelligence as a medical device in a skin cancer pathway.,"The use of artificial intelligence as a medical device (AIaMD) in healthcare systems is increasing rapidly. In dermatology, this has been accelerated in response to increasing skin cancer referral rates, workforce shortages and backlog generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Evidence regarding patient perspectives of AIaMD is currently lacking in the literature. Patient acceptability is fundamental if this novel technology is to be effectively integrated into care pathways and patients must be confident that it is implemented safely, legally, and ethically. A prospective, single-center, single-arm, masked, non-inferiority, adaptive, group sequential design trial, recruited patients referred to a teledermatology cancer pathway. AIaMD assessment of dermoscopic images were compared with clinical or histological diagnosis, to assess performance (NCT04123678). Participants completed an online questionnaire to evaluate their views regarding use of AIaMD in the skin cancer pathway. Two hundred and sixty eight responses were received between February 2020 and August 2021. The majority of respondents were female (57.5%), ranged in age between 18 and 93 years old, Fitzpatrick type I-II skin (81.3%) and all 6 skin types were represented. Overall, there was a positive sentiment regarding potential use of AIaMD in skin cancer pathways. The majority of respondents felt confident in computers being used to help doctors diagnose and formulate management plans (median = 70; interquartile range (IQR) = 50-95) and as a support tool for general practitioners when assessing skin lesions (median = 85; IQR = 65-100). Respondents were comfortable having their photographs taken with a mobile phone device (median = 95; IQR = 70-100), which is similar to other studies assessing patient acceptability of teledermatology services. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive study evaluating patient perspectives of AIaMD in skin cancer pathways in the UK. Patient involvement is essential for the development and implementation of new technologies. Continued end-user feedback will allow refinement of services to ensure patient acceptability. This study demonstrates patient acceptability of the use of AIaMD in both primary and secondary care settings."

The definition of minimally invasive treatment for lung cancer has been expanded from simply reducing the size of the skin incision to reserve the lung function. The principle of precision surgery is emphasized throughout the whole process of patient management including diagnosis and treatment. Multimodality therapy helps narrow the gaps between different disciplines and thus provides more personalized treatment for lung cancer patients. Integration of industrial techniques such as visualization, surgical robot, and artificial intelligence into medical practice will potentially lead to a revolution in thoracic surgical procedure. Today, thoracic surgeons are responsible for establishing a self-reliant surgical practice for Chinese patients with lung cancer.
