RESUMO

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) stands as a rare and locally aggressive soft tissue tumor, characterized by intricated molecular alterations. The imperative to unravel the complexities of intratumor heterogeneity underscores effective clinical management. Herein, we harnessed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to conduct a comprehensive analysis encompassing samples from primary sites, satellite foci, and lymph node metastases. Rigorous preprocessing of raw scRNA-seq data ensued, and employing t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (tSNE) analysis, we unveiled seven major cell populations and fifteen distinct subpopulations. Malignant cell subpopulations were delineated using infercnv for copy number variation calculations. Functional and metabolic variations of diverse malignant cell populations across samples were deciphered utilizing GSVA and the scMetabolism R packages. Additionally, the exploration of differentiation trajectories within diverse fibroblast subpopulations was orchestrated through pseudotime trajectory analyses employing CytoTRACE and Monocle2, and further bolstered by GO analyses to elucidate the functional disparities across distinct differentiation states. In parallel, we segmented the cellular components of the immune microenvironment and verified the presence of SPP1+ macrophage, which constituted the major constituent in lymph node metastases. Remarkably, the CellChat facilitated a comprehensive intercellular communication analysis. This study culminates in an all-encompassing single-cell transcriptome atlas, propounding novel insights into the multifaceted nature of intratumor heterogeneity and fundamental molecular mechanisms propelling metastatic DFSP.

RESUMO

Nowadays, laser is the mainstay treatment for cafe-au-lait macules (CALMs), but no systematic review has been published to demonstrate the overall efficacy and it's still controversial which type of laser is optimal. Thus, we conduct the meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness and side effects of various types of lasers in treating CALMs. Original articles reporting the efficacy and side effects for CALMs in laser treatment were identified in PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science from 1983 to April 11, 2023. Using R software and the 'meta' package, meta-analysis was conducted for clearance and recurrence for evaluation of efficacy. And the occurrence of hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation rate was pooled for safety evaluation. We used RoB2 and ROBINS-I tools to assess the risks of bias in RCT studies and non-RCT studies, respectively. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation system was used to assess the quality of the evidence. Nineteen studies involving 991 patients were included, which had a very low to moderate quality of evidence. The pooled 75% clearance rate was 43.3% (95% CI 31.8-54.7%, I2 = 96%), 50% clearance rate was 75% (95% CI 62.2-85.9%, I2 = 89%) and the recurrence rate was 13% (95% CI 3.2-26.5%, I2 = 88%). The pooled hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation rates were 1.2% (95% CI 0.3-2.1%, I2 = 0%) and 1.2% (95% CI 0.3-2%, I2 = 0%), respectively. Subgroup analysis revealed that QS-1064-nm Nd:YAG laser treatment not only achieved more than 75% clearance rate in 50.9% of patients (95% CI 26.9-74.4%, I2 = 90%) but also resulted in the lowest hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation rate of 0.5% (95% CI 0.0-2.5%, I2 = 26%) and 0.4% (95% CI 0.0-2.5%, I2 = 0%). To draw a conclusion, the laser treatment could reach an overall clearance rate of 50% for 75% of the patients with CALMs, for 43.3% of the patients, the clearance rate could reach 75%. When looking at different wavelength subgroups, QS-1064-nm Nd:YAG laser exhibited the best treatment capability. Laser of all the wavelength subgroups presented acceptable safety regarding of the low occurrence of side effects, namely, hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation.

RESUMO

MAPK/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase (MEK) 1/2 inhibitors (MEKis) have recently achieved surprising success in treating unresectable plexiform neurofibromas (PNFs). However, few studies have investigated the mechanisms of MEKi resistance in patients with PNF. We determined the efficacy of six different MEKis for treating PNFs, explored drug resistance mechanisms, and identified potential combination therapies to overcome resistance. By screening drug efficacy among six MEKis in human NF1-deficient PNF cell lines, TAK-733 was found to reduce PNF cell viability the most. We then cultured the TAK-733‒resistant cells and explored the potential targets for further treatment. Both high-throughput drug screening and RNA sequencing analyses of MEKi-resistant PNF cells identified cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors as potential agents for PNFs. Dinaciclib, a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, showed synergistic effects on MEKi-resistant cells. Coadministration of dinaciclib and TAK-733 significantly reduced cell viability and inhibited sphere formation and colony formation. Dinaciclib did not affect MEK signaling but decreased the expression of several prosurvival proteins, including survivin and cyclin-dependent kinase 1, to induce apoptosis and inhibit mitosis. TAK-733/dinaciclib combination therapy induced tumor reduction in PNF patient‒derived xenografts mouse models. Therefore, the combination of MEKi and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor may be promising for treating inoperable PNFs, especially when drug resistance exists. Our findings provide evidence for future clinical trials with MEKi-resistant patients with PNF.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Extensive cervicofacial reconstruction is challenging for plastic surgeons. Because of the location of the adjacent scalp flap nourished by the superficial temporal artery (STA), it can be a candidate for cervicofacial reconstruction. OBJECTIVES: This article aims to report a combined treatment of an expanded island STA flap and an 810-nm diode laser hair removal technique for extensive cervicofacial defects. METHODS: Between January 2015 and December 2018, 10 patients with lower face and neck scar contraction were reconstructed with a bilateral or unilateral expanded STA island flap and an 810-nm diode laser for hair removal in this retrospective study. Hair removal via the 810-nm laser was started when the injected volume reached the volume of the expander, with a fluence of 35 to 40 J/cm2 and a 1 to 2 Hz repetition rate. Before second-stage surgery, the hair reduction rate was assessed. Twelve months after surgery, the degree of epilation efficacy according to the satisfaction scale and Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale was evaluated. RESULTS: This study included 2 single-pedicle flaps and 8 double-pedicle flaps. The average size of the implanted expanders was 600 mL. The average injected volume was 1405 mL. Before second surgery, there was a 67.4% hair reduction rate. Twelve months after surgery, the results of Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale were very good (3), good (6), average (1), and poor (0). CONCLUSIONS: The expanded island STA flap and 810-nm diode laser technique may be a novel treatment option for severe face and neck aesthetic reconstruction.

RESUMO

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a tumor predisposition genetic disorder that directly affects more than 1 in 3,000 individuals worldwide. It results from mutations of the NF1 gene and shows almost complete penetrance. NF1 patients show high phenotypic variabilities, including cafe-au-lait macules, freckling, or other neoplastic or non-neoplastic features. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of the diversities of clinical symptoms might contribute to the development of personalized healthcare for NF1 patients. Currently, studies have shown that the different types of mutations in the NF1 gene might correlate with this phenomenon. In addition, genetic modifiers are responsible for the different clinical features. In this review, we summarize different genetic mutations of the NF1 gene and related genetic modifiers. More importantly, we focus on the genotype-phenotype correlation. This review suggests a novel aspect to explain the underlying mechanisms of phenotypic heterogeneity of NF1 and provides suggestions for possible novel therapeutic targets to prevent or delay the onset and development of different manifestations of NF1.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Tenosynovial giant cell tumors (TGCTs), synovial chondromatosis (SC), and synovial sarcoma (SS) exhibit similarities in clinical features and histochemical characteristics, and differential diagnosis remains challenging in clinical practice. METHODS: Data were collected from the pathology database of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital regarding patients who underwent surgery from 2010 to 2019 with histologically confirmed TGCTs, SC, and SS. Demographic and clinicopathological data of these patients were reviewed. Immunohistochemistry staining of 14 different markers was performed. Correlation analyses of the prognoses were evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 26 patients with TGCTs (8 diffuse TGCTs and 18 localized TGCTs), 16 with SC, and 11 with SS were identified. Pain was the main symptom of patients with both TGCTs and SC, while a palpable mass was the most common symptom for patients with SS. In addition to clinical features, we identified vital risk factors for disease recurrence. The mean follow-up periods were 51, 39, and 14 months for TGCTs, SC, and SS, respectively. Younger patients with diffuse TGCTs or patients with a higher neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) displayed a significantly higher frequency of recurrence. We also plotted receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis for age and NLR. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated and demonstrated the ability to distinguish recurrent from nonrecurrent cases. In addition, higher CD163 expression was linked to recurrent diffuse TGCT cases. CONCLUSIONS: These data indicated possible characteristics of different aspects of TGCTs, SC, and SS. Further clarification and understanding of these factors will help with differential clinical diagnosis and recurrent risk assessment.

RESUMO

Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) has been widely applied in uncovering disease mechanisms and screening potential biomarkers. Internal reference gene selection determines the accuracy and reproducibility of data analyses. The aim of this study was to identify the optimal reference genes for the relative quantitative analysis of RT-qPCR in fourteen NF1 related cell lines, including non-tumor, benign and malignant Schwann cell lines. The expression characteristics of eleven candidate reference genes (RPS18, ACTB, B2M, GAPDH, PPIA, HPRT1, TBP, UBC, RPLP0, TFRC and RPL32) were screened and analyzed by four software programs: geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper and RefFinder. Results showed that GAPDH, the most frequently used internal reference gene, was significantly unstable between various cell lines. The combinational use of two reference genes (PPIA and TBP) was optimal in malignant Schwann cell lines and the use of single reference genes (PPIA or PRLP0) alone or in combination was optimal in benign Schwann cell lines. These recommended internal reference gene selections may improve the accuracy and reproducibility of RT-qPCR in gene expression analyses of NF1 related tumors.

RESUMO

Neurogenic tumors, a group of tumors arising from neurogenic elements, could theoretically appear in every region of human bodies wherever nerves exist. Patients with these tumors suffer from both physical and psychological problems. However, as a relatively rare tumor type, therapies are relatively scarce for these tumors due to the limited understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Recently, a tailored tumor microenvironment containing multiple types of nonneoplastic cells has been considered to play an essential role in tumor survival, growth, and metastasis. Fibroblasts are a crucial constituent of the tumor microenvironment and have been found to promote tumor growth via multiple mechanisms. However, the understanding of the pivotal role of fibroblasts in the tumorigenesis and development of the neurogenic tumors is still incomplete, and studies in this area show differences in rates of progression among different neurogenic tumor subtypes. Nevertheless, all these neural crest-originated neoplasms show some similarities in the tumor microenvironment, indicating that studies of one subtype of neurogenic tumor might assist in clarifying the underlying mechanisms of other subtypes. This review aims to provide current studies showing the impacts of fibroblasts on major benign/malignant subtypes of neurogenic tumors, including neurofibromatosis type 1, neuroblastomas, pheochromocytomas, and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors. Multiple related mechanisms such as the fibroblasts regulating the tumor inflammation, angiogenesis, metabolism, and microenvironment establishment have been studied up to present. Consistently, we focus on how studies on various subtypes of these neurogenic tumors contribute to the establishment of potential future directions for further studies in this area. Clarifying the underlying mechanisms by which fibroblasts promote the growth and metastasis of neurogenic tumors will indicate new therapeutic targets for further clinical treatment.

RESUMO

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are aggressive sarcomas with over half of cases developed in the context of neurofibromatosis type 1. Surgical resection is the only effective therapy for MPNST. The prognosis is very dismal once recurrence or metastasis occurs. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a key process of recurrence and metastasis involving reorganizations of the actin cytoskeleton and actin-binding proteins (ABP) play a non-negligible role. Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor S (PTPRS), a tumor suppressor previously reported in colorectal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and head and neck cancer, is thought to mediate cell migration and invasion by downregulation of EMT. However, its role in MPNST remains unknown. In the present study, by using tissue microarray we demonstrated low expression of PTPRS was related to poor prognosis in MPNST. Knockdown of PTPRS in MPNST cell lines increased migration/invasion and EMT processes were induced with increased N-cadherin and decreased E-cadherin, which indicated PTPRS may serve as a tumor suppressor in MPNST. In addition, we tested all EMT related ABP and found profilin 1 was significantly elevated in PTPRS downregulated MPNST cell lines. As a member of actin-binding proteins, profilins are regulators of actin polymerization and contribute to cell motility and invasion, which have been reported to be responsible for EMT. Moreover, results showed that downregulation of profilin 1 could restore the EMT processes caused by PTPRS downregulation in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, high expression of profilin 1 was significantly associated with dismal prognosis. These results highlighted PTPRS served as a potential tumor suppressor in the recurrence and metastasis of MPNST via profilin 1 induced EMT processes and it might provide potential targets for future clinical therapeutics.

RESUMO

Neurofibromatosis type 1 [NF1] is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder affecting multiple organs. NF1 is well known for its various clinical manifestations, including café-au-late macules, Lisch nodules, bone deformity and neurofibromas. However, there is no effective therapy for NF1. Current therapies are aimed at alleviating NF1 clinical symptoms but not curing the disease. By altering pathogenic genes, gene therapy regulates cell activities at the nucleotide level. In this review, we described the structure and functions of neurofibromin domains, including GAP-related domain [GRD], cysteine-serine rich domain [CSRD], leucine-rich domain [LRD] and C-terminal domain [CTD], which respectively alter downstream pathways. By transfecting isolated sequences of these domains, researchers can partially restore normal cell functions in neurofibroma cell lines. Furthermore, recombinant transgene sequences may be designed to encode truncated proteins, which is functional and easy to be packaged into viral vectors. In addition, the treatment effect of gene therapy is also determined by various factors such as the vectors selection, transgene packaging strategies and drug administration. We summarized multiple NF1 gene therapy strategies and discussed their feasibility from multiple angles. Different protein domains alter the function and downstream pathways of neurofibromin.

RESUMO

Background: Because neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) is a cancer predisposition disease, it is important to distinguish between benign and malignant lesions, especially in the craniofacial area. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to improve effectiveness in the diagnostic performance in discriminating malignant from benign craniofacial lesions based on computed tomography (CT) using a Keras-based machine-learning model. Methods: The Keras-based machine learning technique, a neural network package in the Python language, was used to train the diagnostic model on CT datasets. Fifty NF1 patients with benign craniofacial neurofibromas and six NF1 patients with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) were selected as the training set. Three validation cohorts were used: validation cohort 1 (random selection of 90% of the patients in the training cohort), validation cohort 2 (an independent cohort of 9 NF1 patients with benign craniofacial neurofibromas and 11 NF1 patients with MPNST), and validation cohort 3 (eight NF1 patients with MPNST, not restricted to the craniofacial area). Sensitivity and specificity were tested using validation cohorts 1 and 2, and generalizability was evaluated using validation cohort 3. Results: A total of 59 NF1 patients with benign neurofibroma and 23 NF1 patients with MPNST were included. A Keras-based machine-learning model was successfully established using the training cohort. The accuracy was 96.99 and 100% in validation cohorts 1 and 2, respectively, discriminating NF1-related benign and malignant craniofacial lesions. However, the accuracy of this model was significantly reduced to 51.72% in the identification of MPNSTs in different body regions. Conclusion: The Keras-based machine learning technique showed the potential of robust diagnostic performance in the differentiation of craniofacial MPNSTs and benign neurofibromas in NF1 patients using CT images. However, the model has limited generalizability when applied to other body areas. With more clinical data accumulating in the model, this system may support clinical doctors in the primary screening of true MPNSTs from benign lesions in NF1 patients.

RESUMO

Hypertrophic scar (HTS) is a common pathologic dermal fibroproliferative disease after skin injury. Transforming growth factor ß (TGF-ß) plays a central role in HTS formation and development. Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) activates latent TGF-ß by binding to latency-associated peptide-ß on TGF-ß structure. So far, LSKL peptide was shown to selectively antagonize TSP-1. In this study, TSP-1 was first confirmed to be highly expressed in HTS. LSKL peptide was proven to inhibit the overexpression of extracellular matrix and contractile ability of HTS fibroblasts. In vivo, LSKL could attenuate the thickness of HTS, distortion of collagen alignment and fibrogenesis. Results also demonstrated that LSKL peptide not only remarkably attenuated cell proliferation and migration, but also induced cell apoptosis of HTS fibroblasts. Western blot analysis further revealed that LSKL peptide significantly suppressed the phosphorylation of PI3K, AKT, and mTOR, while not affecting the phosphorylation of Smad2/3 and MEK/ERK. These findings suggested that LSKL might be a promising anti-fibrosis agent to HTS through PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The aim was to evaluate overall quality of life (QOL) and investigate impact factors in Chinese neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients, particularly in those with craniofacial plexiform neurofibromas (pNFs). METHODS: The Impact of NF1 on quality of life (INF1-QOL) Questionnaire were completed from a department of plastic and reconstructive surgery by 27 patients. Patients were 3 to 49 years of age. The correlation between subdomains were calculated using Pearson correlation. The difference between groups were evaluated using Fisher exact t-test. P value <0.05 were considered significant. RESULTS: In age group of craniofacial pNFs, significant difference presented in cosmetic appearance, role and outlook on life and general QOL. Higher impact on general QOL in adults (6/8) than children (1/7) pointed to more impaired QOL in adults, as well as 2 subdomains including appearance, role and outlook on life. The patients who have more than 50 cutaneous neurofibromas (cNFs) (6/7) presented a significantly greater negative impact on the role and outlook of life. No statistically significant difference of QOL were detected between craniofacial and non-craniofacial pNFs patients. CONCLUSIONS: Age and cNFs were 2 main factors that have a negative impact on QOL in craniofacial pNFs patients. Adults reported lower QOL in cosmetic appearance, the role and outlook of life and general QOL. Patients with more than 50 cNFs reported more negative impact on the role and outlook of life. A multidiscipline management for these patients is required, including psychosocial intervention.

RESUMO

The immune system plays an essential role in the development of tumors, which has been demonstrated in multiple types of cancers. Consistent with this, immunotherapies with targets that disrupt these mechanisms and turn the immune system against developing cancers have been proven effective. In neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), an autosomal dominant genetic disorder, the understanding of the complex interactions of the immune system is incomplete despite the discovery of the pivotal role of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. Individuals with NF1 show a loss of the NF1 gene in nonneoplastic cells, including immune cells, and the aberrant immune system exhibits intriguing interactions with NF1. This review aims to provide an update on recent studies showing the bilateral influences of NF1 mutations on immune cells and how the abnormal immune system promotes the development of NF1 and NF1-related tumors. We then discuss the immune receptors major histocompatibility complex class I and II and the PD-L1 mechanism that shield NF1 from immunosurveillance and enable the immune escape of tumor tissues. Clarification of the latest understanding of the mechanisms underlying the effects of the abnormal immune system on promoting the development of NF1 will indicate potential future directions for further studies and new immunotherapies.
