ABSTRACT

Plasm Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare and highly invasive hematological malignancies. Typical BPDCN usually starts with skin lesions, involves lymph nodes, bone marrow, central nervous system and other soft tissues. It is not sensitive to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and the prognosis is very poor. A patient with abdominal pain, anemia, hepatosplenomegalosis as the first manifestations, and lack of typical skin lesions was admitted in Bayannur Hospital on August 28, 2020. BPDCN was finally diagnosed by bone marrow morphology, flow cytometry and bone marrow biopsy. Provide reference for clinical doctors to indentify and treat BPDCN by analyzing the clinical data of rare BPDCN cases with no skin lesions.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the early effect and safety of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with a 10-day decitabine-containing conditioning regimen in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) /myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) . Methods: From April 2021 to May 2022, 31 AML/MDS patients who received allo-HSCT with a 10-day decitabine-containing conditioning regimen were analyzed. Results: AML (n=10), MDS-AML (n=6), CMML-AML (n=1), and MDS (n=14) were identified in 31 patients, 16 males, and 15 females, with a median age of 41 (20-55) yr. Neutrophils and platelets were successfully implanted in 31 patients (100%), with a median implantation duration of 12 (9-30) and 14 (9-42) days, respectively. During the preconditioning period, 16 patients (51.6%) developed oral mucositis, with 15 cases of Ⅰ/Ⅱ grade (48.4%) and one case of Ⅲ grade (3.2%). After transplantation, 13 patients (41.9%) developed CMV viremia, six patients (19.4%) developed hemorrhagic cystitis, and four patients (12.9%) developed a local infection. The median time of acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) following transplantation was 33 (12-111) days. The cumulative incidence of aGVHD and Ⅲ/Ⅳ grade aGVHD was 41.9% (95% CI 26.9%-61.0%) and 22.9% (95% CI 13.5%-47.5%), respectively. There was no severe cGVHD, and mild and moderate chronic GVHD (cGVHD) incidence was 23.5% (95% CI 12.1%-43.6%). As of November 30, 2022, only one of the 31 patients had relapsed, with a 1-yr cumulative relapse rate (CIR) of 3.2% (95% CI 0.5%-20.7%). There was only one relapse patient death and no non-relapse deaths. The 1-yr overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 92.9% (95% CI 80.3%-100%) and 96.8% (95% CI 90.8%-100%), respectively. Conclusions: A 10-day decitabine-containing conditioning regimen for allo-HSCT reduced relapse and was safe and feasible in treating AML/MDS.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of demethylating drugs decitabine and azacitidine in treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).Methods:The clinical data of 15 patients initially diagnosed with MDS in Fujian Provincial Hospital from May 2010 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed; 10 patients were treated with decitabine (10-30 mg·m -2·d -1, 3-5 d consecutively) and 5 patients were treated with azacitidine (75 mg·m -2·d -1 for 7 d consecutively). Gene mutation, risk stratification, efficacy and adverse reactions were observed. Results:Among 15 patients, 9 cases were males and 6 cases were females, with a median age of 64 years (51-84 years). The median follow-up time was 18 months (4-62 months). There were 3 cases in high-risk group, 10 cases in medium-risk group and 2 cases in low-risk group. SF3B1, TET2 and STAG2 mutations were more common in patients with low to moderate risk; DNMT3A, EZH2, U2AF1, RUNX1 and TP53 mutations were more common in patients with high-risk. All patients were evaluated for efficacy after 2-3 courses of treatment, and the total effective rate was 66.7% (10/15). Among them, 1 case (6.7%) achieved complete remission, 1 case (6.7%) achieved bone marrow complete remission (mCR), 2 cases (13.3%) achieved partial remission, and 6 cases (40%) achieved hematological improvement. During the treatment, 9 cases had grade 3-4 hematological toxicity and 6 cases had grade 3-4 infection. There was no grade 3-4 bleeding, nausea, vomiting and liver function damage. During the follow-up to May 2020, 9 patients survived and 6 patients died.Conclusions:Demethylating drugs decitabine and azacitidine have high rates of complete remission and partial remission and a low rate of adverse drug reactions in MDS patients.

ABSTRACT

Chemoimmunotherapy has been approved as standard treatment for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), but the clinical outcomes remain unsatisfied. Abnormal epigenetic regulation is associated with acquired drug resistance and T cell exhaustion, which is a critical factor for the poor response to chemoimmunotherapy in TNBC. Herein, macrophage-camouflaged nanoinducers co-loaded with paclitaxel (PTX) and decitabine (DAC) (P/D-mMSNs) were prepared in combination with PD-1 blockade therapy, hoping to improve the efficacy of chemoimmunotherapy through the demethylation of tumor tissue. Camouflage of macrophage vesicle confers P/D-mMSNs with tumor-homing properties. First, DAC can achieve demethylation of tumor tissue and enhance the sensitivity of tumor cells to PTX. Subsequently, PTX induces immunogenic death of tumor cells, promotes phagocytosis of dead cells by dendritic cells, and recruits cytotoxic T cells to infiltrate tumors. Finally, DAC reverses T cell depletion and facilitates immune checkpoint blockade therapy. P/D-mMSNs may be a promising candidate for future drug delivery design and cancer combination therapy in TNBC.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the efficacy and safety of venetoclax (VEN) combined with demethylating agents (HMA) in the treatment of relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML).@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 26 adult R/R AML patients who received the combination of VEN with azacitidine (AZA) or decitabine (DAC) in Huai'an Second People's Hospital from February 2019 to November 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The treatment response, adverse events as well as survival were observed, and the factors of influencing the efficacy and survival were explored.@*RESULTS@#The overall response rate (ORR) of 26 patients was 57.7% (15 cases), including 13 cases of complete response (CR) and CR with incomplete count recovery (CRi) and 2 cases of partial response (PR). Among the 13 patients who got CR/CRi, 7 cases achieved CRm (minimal residual disease negative CR) and 6 cases did not, with statistically significant differences in overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) between the two groups (P=0.044, 0.036). The median OS of all the patients was 6.6 (0.5-15.6) months, and median EFS was 3.4 (0.5-9.9) months. There were 13 patients in the relapse group and refractory group, respectively, with response rate of 84.6% and 30.8% (P=0.015). The survival analysis showed that the relapse group had a better OS than the refractory group (P=0.026), but there was no significant difference in EFS (P=0.069). Sixteen patients who treated for 1-2 cycles and 10 patients who treated for more than 3 cycles achieved response rates of 37.5% and 90.0%, respectively (P=0.014), and patients treated for more cycles had superior OS and EFS (both P<0.01). Adverse effects were mainly bone marrow suppression, complicated by various degrees of infection, bleeding, and gastrointestinal discomfort was common, but these could be all tolerated by patients.@*CONCLUSION@#VEN combined with HMA is an effective salvage therapy for patients with R/R AML and is well tolerated by patients. Achieving minimal residual disease negativity is able to improve long-term survival of patients.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the efficacy, prognosis and safety of decitabine combined with modified EIAG regimen in the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 44 patients with relapsed/refractory AML and high-risk MDS admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were equally divided into D-EIAG group (decitabine combined with EIAG regimen) and D-CAG group (decitabine combined with CAG regimen) according to clinical treatment regimen. The complete response (CR), CR with incomplete hematologic recover (CRi), morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS), partial response (PR), overall response rate (ORR), modified composite complete response (mCRc), overall survival (OS) time, 1-year OS rate, myelosuppression and adverse reactions between the two groups were compared.@*RESULTS@#In D-EIAG group, 16 patients (72.7%) achieved mCRc (CR+CRi+MLFS), 3 patients (13.6%) achieved PR, and ORR (mCRc+PR) was 86.4%. In D-CAG group, 9 patients (40.9%) achieved mCRc, 6 patients (27.3%) achieved PR, and ORR was 68.2%. Difference was observed in mCRc rate between the two groups (P=0.035), but not in ORR (P>0.05). The median OS time of D-EIAG group and D-CAG group was 20 (2-38) months and 16 (3-32) months, and 1-year OS rate was 72.7% and 59.1%, respectively. There was no significant difference in 1-year OS rate between the two groups (P>0.05). After induction chemotherapy, the median time for absolute neutrophil count recovery to 0.5×109/L in D-EIAG group and D-CAG group was 14 (10-27) d and 12 (10-26) d, for platelet count recovery to 20×109/L was 15 (11-28) d and 14 (11-24)d, the median red blood cell suspension transfusion volume was 8 (6-12) U and 6 (6-12) U, and the median apheresis platelet transfusion volume was 4 (2-8) U and 3 (2-6) U, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in comparison of the above indicators between the two groups (P>0.05). The hematological adverse reactions of patients were mainly myelosuppression. Grade III-IV hematological adverse events occurred in both groups (100%), with no increase in the incidence of non-hematological toxicities such as gastrointestinal reactions or liver function damage.@*CONCLUSION@#Decitabine combined with EIAG regimen in the treatment of relapsed/refractory AML and high-risk MDS can improve remission rate, provide an opportunity for subsequent therapies, and have no increase in adverse reactions compared with D-CAG regimen.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the biological effects and its relative mechanism of decitabine combined with anlotinib on multiple myeloma cells.@*METHODS@#The human MM cell lines and primary cells were treated with different concentrations of decitabine, anlotinib, and decitabine+anlotinib, respectively. The cell viability was detected and combination effect was calculated by CCK-8 assay. The apoptosis rate was measured by flow cytometry and the level of c-Myc protein was determined by Western blot.@*RESULTS@#Both decitabine and anlotinib could effectively inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of MM cell lines NCI-H929 and RPMI-8226. The effect of combined treatment on the inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis was stronger than that of single-drug treatment. The combination of the two drugs also showed strong cytotoxicity in primary MM cells. Decitabine and anlotinib could down-regulate the level of c-Myc protein in MM cells and the c-Myc level in the combination group was the lowest.@*CONCLUSION@#Decitabine combined with anlotinib can effectively inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of MM cells, which provides a certain experimental basis for the treatment of human MM.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the efficacy and safety of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with decitabine (Dec)-conditioning regimen in the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and MDS transformed acute myeloid leukemia (MDS-AML).@*METHODS@#The characteristics and efficacy data of 93 patients with MDS and MDS-AML who received allo-HSCT in our center from April 2013 to November 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were administered by myeloablative conditioning regimen containing Dec (25 mg/m2 /d×3 d).@*RESULTS@#Among the 93 patients, 63 males and 30 females, were diagnosed as MDS(n =77), MDS-AML(n =16). The incidence of I/II grade regimen-related toxicity (RRT) was 39.8%, and III grade RRT was only found in 1 patient (1%). Neutrophil engraftment was successful in 91 (97.8%) patients after a median neutrophil engraftment time of 14 (9-27) days; Successful platelet engraftment was achieved in 87 (93.5%) patients, with a median engraftment time of 18 (9-290) days. The incidence of acute graft versus host disease(aGVHD) and grade III-IV aGVHD was 44.2% and 16.2%, respectively. The incidence of chronic graft versus host disease(cGVHD) and moderate-to-severe cGVHD was 59.5% and 37.1%, respectively. Of the 93 patients, 54 (58%) developed posttransplant infections, among which lung infection (32.3%) and bloodstream infection (12.9%) were the most common. The median follow-up after transplantation was 45 (0.1-108) months. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate, disease-free survival (DFS) rate, treatment-related mortality, and cumulative incidence of relapse were 72.7%, 68.4%, 25.1%, and 6.5%, respectively. And the 1-year graft-versus-host disease/relapse-free survival rate was 49.3%. The patients in different group of relative high-risk prognostic scoring or low-risk prognostic scoring, with or without poor-risk mutation(s), with mutations number ≥3 or <3 had similar 5-year OS rate (more than 70%). Multivariate analysis showed that the incidence of grade III-IV aGVHD was the independent risk factor affecting OS(P =0.008)and DFS (P =0.019).@*CONCLUSION@#Allo-HSCT with Dec-conditioning regimen is feasible and effective in the treatment of patients with MDS and MDS-AML, especially those in high prognostic risk and with poor-risk mutations.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of decitabine combined with modified CAG regimen (D-CAG regimen) in patients aged ≥70 years with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML).@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 59 AML patients (≥70 years old) who were newly diagnosed and treated in the Hematology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from November 2010 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.@*RESULTS@#Among the 59 AML patients, 28 were males and 31 were females, with a median age of 74 (70-86) years. The complete remission (CR) rate was 69.4% (34/49), and the median duration of CR was 10.7 (0.6-125.4) months after 2 courses of D-CAG treatment. According to the British Medical Research Council (MRC) classification, there was only one patient in the favorable-risk group, and the CR rate was 71.8% (28/39) in the intermediate-risk group, and 55.6% (5/9) in the adverse-risk group, respectively. There was no statistical difference in the CR rate between the intermediate-risk and adverse-risk group. Referring to ELN 2017 genetic risk classification, CR rate was 88.2% (15/17) in the favorable-risk group, 45.5% (5/11) in the intermediate-risk group, and 66.7% (14/21) in the adverse-risk group. There was no significant difference in CR rate between the favorable-risk and adverse-risk categories, but both were significantly higher than that in the intermediate-risk group (P <0.05). Next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis showed that 11 gene mutations with a frequency of more than 10%, including TET2 mutation (35.6%), ASXL1 mutation (30.5%), NPM1 mutation (28.8%), FLT3-ITD mutation (27.1%), DNMT3A mutation (22.0%), IDH1 mutation (15.3%), CEBPA single mutation (13.6%), TP53 mutation (13.6%), IDH2 mutation (11.9%), RUNX1 mutation (11.9%), and NRAS mutation (10.2%). There were no statistical differences in mutation frequency of these 11 genes between CR group and non-CR group. Compared with normal karyotypes, patients with complex karyotypes were more likely to develop TP53 mutations (P <0.001), while FLT3-ITD and DNMT3A mutations were more likely to occur in patients with normal karyotypes (P =0.04, P =0.047). The median follow-up, overall survival (OS), and event-free survival (EFS) of all the patients was 11.7 (1.5-128.2) months, 12.3 (1.5-128.2) months, and 8.5 (1.5-128.2) months, respectively. The median OS and EFS of CR patients were 19.8 and 13.3 months, respectively, which were significantly longer than 6.4 and 5.7 months in patients experiencing treatment failure (P < 0.001, P =0.009). In regard to genes with mutation frequency >10%, there were no statistical differences in CR rate, median OS, and median EFS between mutated and wild-type patients by Chi-square test and survival analysis. Univariate analysis showed that age, hemoglobin, lactate dehydrogenase, cytogenetics and CR were factors affecting prognosis, while multivariate analysis showed that only CR failure was an independent adverse prognostic factor for OS. The major adverse reactions to D-CAG regimen were grade 3-4 myelosuppression, pulmonary infection, and fever (infection focus was not identified).@*CONCLUSION@#D-CAG regimen is safe and effective in the treatment of AML patients ≥70 years old, and can partially improve the prognosis of elderly and high-risk patients.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) combined with decitabine, homoharringtonine, and interferon regimen as maintenance therapy for blast phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML-BP).@*METHODS@#The clinical data of CML-BP patients who received the first major hematological response after induction therapy at The Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2015 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The event-free survival, duration of remission, and overall survival of patients in TKI combined with decitabine, homoharringtonine, interferon group(n=18) and TKI combined with conventional chemotherapy group(n=10) were compared by log-rank test.@*RESULTS@#A total of 28 patients were included, with a median age of 46 (24-58) years old. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that patients in TKI combined with decitabine, homoharringtonine, interferon group had longer event-free survival (7.4 vs 4.3 months, P=0.043, HR=0.44, 95% CI: 0.17-1.14), duration of overall remission (16.1 vs 6.6 months, P=0.005, HR=0.32, 95% CI: 0.11-0.89), overall survival (34.3 vs 13.5 months, P=0.006, HR=0.29, 95% CI: 0.10-0.82) compared with patients in TKI combined with conventional chemotherapy group.@*CONCLUSION@#The TKI combined with decitabine, homoharringtonine and interferon regimen can significantly prolong the survival of CML-BP patients who obtained the major hematological response compared with TKI combined with conventional chemotherapy regimen.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect and safety of low-dose dexitabine combined with DA/HA chemotherapy regimen in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with moderate or poor prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of 25 initially diagnosed AML patients (non-acute promyelocytic leukemia) in Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from April 2013 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline, all patients were divided into moderate prognosis group (5 cases) and poor prognosis group (20 cases), and they were given low-dose decitabine combined with DA/HA regimen (decitabine 10 mg, day 1-10; daunorubicin 60 mg/m 2, day 1-3; homoharringtonine 2.5 mg/m 2, day 1-7; cytarabine 100-200 mg/m 2, day 1-7). The clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of both groups were observed. Results:Among 25 patients, 1 patient gave up during the treatment; 14 patients received 1 cycle of treatment and the complete response (CR) rate was 71.4% (10/14); 10 patients received ≥2 cycles of treatment and the CR rate was 70.0% (7/10); the difference of CR rate in patients with different treatment cycles was not statistically significant ( χ2 = 0.01, P > 0.05). In the moderate prognosis group, 4 cases achieved CR and 1 case had no response (NR), the CR rate was 80.0% (4/5), and the total effective rate was 80.0% (4/5). In poor prognosis group, 13 cases achieved CR, 4 cases achieved partial response (PR), 2 cases had NR, 1 case gave up the treatment, the CR rate was 68.4% (13/20), and the total effective rate was 89.5% (17/20). There were no statistical differences in the CR rate and the total effective rate between the two groups (both P > 0.05). The adverse reactions of all patients were mild and all patients could tolerate. Conclusions:Low-dose dexitabine combined with DA/HA regimen has a high remission rate in treatment of AML patients with moderate or poor prognosis, and the adverse reactions can be tolerated.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the transcriptomic mechanisms and clinical efficacy of D-CAG regimen for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after failure to initial induction of remission.Methods:The transcriptome data of AML cells before and after the use of dexitabine before August 28, 2021 was searched in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database with "decitabine" as the search term. The R language package was used for differential expression analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of the data. Protein-protein interaction network (PPI) analysis was conducted on the STRING online analysis website. The accurate treatment prediction platform designed based on logistic omics theory (EpiMed) was used to make drug-disease-target correlation analysis. The clinical data of 18 AML patients treated with D-CAG regimen after failure to induction of remission with standard anthracycline and cytarabine regimen ("3+7" regimen) in the 305th Hospital of Chinese PLA from October 8, 2015 to July 9, 2018 were searched and analyzed, and the curative effect was evaluated. The effects of the dose and duration of each drug on the efficacy were analyzed.Results:The transcriptome data of AML cells before and after the use of decitabine in GSE40442 dataset of the GPL5188 platform were finally selected, updated on July 10, 2014. A total of 366 differentially expressed genes were screened, including 201 up-regulated genes and 165 down-regulated genes. The differential genes were mainly related to cell cycle regulation, bone marrow leukocyte migration and differentiation, transcriptional regulation, bone marrow hematopoiesis and other signaling pathways. Ten core genes such as ANXA5, IL-10, THBS1, TLR4, JUN and CXCL12 were screened by PPI analysis. Drug-disease-target analysis showed that dexitabine had a potential therapeutic effect on various blood diseases such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, thrombocytopenia, T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia, aplastic anemia, and AML. Of the 18 patients, after initial induction of remission, 7 (38.8%) patients achieved partial remission (PR), and 11 (61.2%) patients had no response (NR); after one cycle of re-induction remission therapy, 9 patients had complete remission (CR), 5 patients had PR, 4 patients had NR, and the overall response rate (ORR) was 77.8% (14/18). Compared with patients with NR, the CR rate was higher in patients with PR after initial induction therapy, which were 85.7% (6/7) and 27.3% (3/11), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=5.84, P = 0.025). The median duration of cytarabine in CR patients was longer than that in NR patients [10 d (7-14 d) vs. 5 d (2-8 d), Z = 3.89, P = 0.002] and the median ratio of the number of bone marrow blast cells to the duration cytarabine was lower in CR patients than that in NR patients [2.29 (0.89-9.10) vs. 8.10 (3.00-38.50), Z = -2.19, P = 0.006]; the median dose of cytarabine in CR patients was lower than NR patients, which were 50 mg·m -2·d -1 (30-150 mg·m -2·d -1) and 100 mg·m -2·d -1 (50-500 mg·m -2·d -1), and the difference was not statistically significant ( Z = -1.80, P = 0.074). Conclusions:AML patients with PR after initial induction and failure to initial induction of remission may be more likely to achieve CR after the treatment of D-CAG regimen, and this change may be related to the epigenetic regulation of decitabine.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the efficacy and safety of decitabine combined with chemotherapy in treatment of relapsed/refractory T lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia (T-LBL/ALL) with TP53 mutation.Methods:The clinical data of a T-LBL/ALL patient with TP53 mutation who had recurrence after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) treated with decitabine combined with chemotherapy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University in June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed and the relevant literature was reviewed.Results:The patient, a 42-year-old male, diagnosed as T-LBL/ALL with TP53 mutation by comprehensive examination underwent sibling-matched donor allo-HSCT after a second complete remission. The patient relapsed 8 months later and was treated with decitabine combined with CLAG regimen to achieve complete remission again. And then, he had leukemia-free survival until now through maintenance treatment with decitabine.Conclusion:Decitabine combined with chemotherapy may be a safe and effective treatment option for relapsed T-LBL/ALL patients with TP53 mutation after allo-HSCT.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effects of decitabine (DEC) combined with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on the number of immune cells, efficacy and adverse reactions in the treatment of myeloid neoplasms patients.@*METHODS@#Eighty-four patients with myeloid tumors, including AML, MDS-EB-1 or MDS-EB-2 treated by the regimen containing decitabine in our hospital from January 2009 to October 2019 were enrolled and retrospectively analyzed, among the patients, 21 patients treated with DEC alone, 24 patients treated with DEC combined with ATRA (DEC/ATRA) and 39 patients treated with DEC combined with G-CSF priming regimen (DEC/priming). The changes of peripheral blood immune cell levels before and after treatment of the patients between the three groups were compared, and the differences in clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of the patients between the three groups were also compared.@*RESULTS@#There was no statistical differences in the number of immune cells among the patients in the three groups before treatment (P>0.05). NK cell levels decreased significantly in the patients in DEC and DEC/ATRA group after treatment (P<0.05); After treatment, the levels of CD8+ and CD3+T cells in the patients treated by DEC /priming regimen significantly increased (P<0.05), while the levels of CD3-HLA-DR+ B cells significantly decreased (P<0.05). The overall response rate (ORR) of the patients in DEC/ATRA group (75%) and DEC/priming group (74.36%) was significantly higher than 42.86% in DEC monotherapy group, and the differences showed statistically significant (P<0.05), while the ORR between the patients in DEC/ATRA and DEC/priming group showed no statistic differences (P>0.05). There were no statistical differences in overall survival (OS) and incidence of bleeding between the patients in the three groups (P>0.05). The incidences of grade 3 to 4 bone marrow suppression and the infection rate of the patients in DEC monotherapy and DEC/ATRA group were significantly lower than that in DEC/priming regimen group after treatment (all P<0.05), however, there was no statistical difference between DEC monotherapy and the DEC/ATRA group.@*CONCLUSION@#The efficacy of DEC/ATRA on myeloid neoplasms is comparable to that of DEC/priming regimen, and the anti-myeloid tumor effect of DEC/ATRA regimen may be related to the regulation of NK cells and T cells.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate regulatory T cells (Tregs) relative content in peripheral blood and bone marrow of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treated with or without decitabine (DAC), analyze the immunomodulatory of Tregs in pathogenesis and remission of MDS and AML, as well as effect of DAC on Tregs.@*METHODS@#From October 2018 to February 2019, 15 patients with MDS and 49 patients with AML (newly diagnosed, treated with DAC or other chemotherapy regimens) were enrolled in this study, and 14 cases with iron deficiency or megaloblastic anemia while without malignant tumor and autoimmune disease as controls. The Tregs relative contents in bone marrow and peripheral blood were analyzed by flow cytometry, meanwhile clinical data of the objects were collected.@*RESULTS@#In peripheral blood and bone marrow of the patients with MDS and AML, the Tregs relative contents at newly diagnosed were higher than those of the control group (P=0.05, P=0.043). The Tregs relative content of AML patients in DAC regimen treatment group was significantly lower than that in the newly diagnosed group and non-DAC chemotherapy group (P<0.05). In DAC regimen treatment group, the Tregs relative contents was significantly lower in remission group than in non-remission group (P<0.05). There was no difference between DAC regimen treatment group and control group in Tregs relative content.@*CONCLUSION@#DAC may increase the body's anti-tumor immunity by consuming Tregs content, enhance the body's immune function to identify and kill tumor cells, thereby promote the patients' reliefs.

ABSTRACT

When chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) failed to treat relapsed and refractory B-cell malignancies, some researchers try to improve the efficacy by enhancing the function of CAR-T. It is a new hotspot of drug development and clinical research, and significant achievements have been made in this area recently. Multi-targeted CAR-T, lenalidomide, decitabine, programmed death 1 inhibitor and ibrutinib can all enhance the function of CAR-T. This article reviews the recent progress of enhancing the function of CAR-T in relapsed and refractory B-cell malignancies.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of myeloid sarcoma(MS).Methods:From January 2010 to May 2019, clinical data were reviewed for 89 MS cases. Age, gender, site of onset, type, comorbid diseases, lymphatic characteristics and disease remission status were analyzed. And 1-year survival rates were explored for different treatments including whether or not chemotherapy, transplantation and using hypomethylated drugs(HMAs)for maintenance after transplantation.Results:Among them, 21 cases had the data of chromosome karyotypic analysis and next generation sequencing and 8 patients underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT). The 1-year overall survival rates(OS)of primary MS, MS with intramedullary disease and MS relapse after leukemic remission were 16.0%, 37.5% and 36.9% respectively( P=0.013). The 1-year OS of local treatment(surgical resection, intrathecal injection and local radiotherapy), chemotherapy plus local treatment and chemotherapy plus allo-HSCT was 0, 28.1% and 72.9% respectively( P=0.003). After two courses of treatment, the 1-year OS of patients with complete and incomplete remissions were 34.9% and 10.0% respectively( P=0.008). Half(4/8)MS patients relapsed within 1 year after transplantation and had a short survival.Three patients received decitabine after HSCT and all of them survived for a long time. Conclusions:Chemotherapy plus HSCT is efficacious for MS. Decitabine maintenance treatment after transplantation may prolong recurrence-free survival. However, a larger sample size is required for further clinical verifications.

ABSTRACT

Aim To explore the cytotoxic and synergistic effects of decitabine and ruxolitinib on HEL cells with TET2 knockdown. Methods Stable TET2 knockdown by shRNA was established in HEL cell line. The change of cell proliferation was measured by CCK-8 assay. The median lethal dose (IC50) and colony formation assay were used to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of decitabine and ruxolitinib, the synergistic effects of which was further analyzed by Chou-Talalay method. Results The inhibition of TET2 increased the proliferative capacity of HEL cells. HEL cell lines became resistant to decitabine following shRNA-media- ted TET2 inactivation. Colony formation assay showed that the drug sensitivity of decitabine and ruxolitinib both decreased in TET2 knockdown HEL cells. The synergistic inhibitory effects of ruxolitinib and decitabine on TET2 knockdown HEL cells were observed. Conclusion The combination of ruxolitinib and decitabine may be an effective therapeutic strategy for accelerated or blast phase MPN patients with JAK2V6m and TET2 mutations.
