Gliomas are the most common and lethal forms of malignant brain tumors. We attempted to identify the role of the aging-suppressor Klotho gene and Klotho protein in the immunopathogenesis of gliomas. We examined Klotho genetic variants by PCR-RFLP and measured serum Klotho levels using the ELISA method. We found a statistically significantly increased frequency of rs1207568A allele and rs1207568 GA genotypes in co-dominant, dominant and over-dominant models in grade IV as compared to grade II and III glioma patients. The levels of soluble α Klotho (sαKL) were significantly lower in grade III and IV glioma patients than in healthy controls (p = 0.034; 0.0083). Patients with sαKL levels above 2500 pg/mL survived significantly longer than patients with sαKL below 2500 pg/mL (p = 0.038). We also found a positive correlation of the serum levels of sαKL with seven biomarkers, like angiogenic vascular endothelial growth factor (p = 0.0008), chemokine fractalkine (p = 0.0009), interferon γ (p = 0.003), glial derived neurotrophic factor (p = 0.0268), pro-inflammatory and pro-Th1 cytokine IL-6 (p = 0.0347), anti-inflammatory, pro-Th2 cytokines IL-4 (p = 0.0037) and IL-13 (p = 0.0004). Our results suggest the impact of Klotho genetic variants and Klotho levels on advanced-grade glioma.

Východiská: Alogénna transplantácia krvotvorných buniek (allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation – alloHSCT) predstavuje významný terapeutický výkon pre liečbu celého spektra závažných chorôb. Pokroky v liečbe a podpornej starostlivosti zlepšili celkové prežívanie, avšak napriek tomu sa alloHSCT naďalej vyznačuje značnou úmrtnosťou, najčastejšie zapríčinenou chorobou z reakcie štepu proti hostiteľovi (graft-versus-host disease – GvHD). Cieľom našej retrospektívnej analýzy bolo zistiť, ktoré z vybraných faktorov mali vplyv na celkové prežívanie a vývoj GvHD po alloHSCT od HLA-identických súrodencov. Analyzovali sme vek pacienta a darcu, kompatibilitu v AB0 systéme, zhodu pohlavia príjemcu a darcu, zdroj krvotvorných buniek, čas od diagnózy po alloHSCT, typ prípravného režimu, typ profylaxie GvHD a relaps. Pacienti a metódy: Sledovali sme 96 pacientov (54 mužov, 42 žien), ktorí podstúpili alloHSCT od HLA-identického súrodenca. Medián sledovania bol 64,5 mesiaca (rozsah 1–218 mesiacov), medián veku príjemcov aj darcov bol 34 rokov. Najčastejšou indikáciou alloHSCT bolo malígne hematologické ochorenie. Výsledky: Najvyšší počet úmrtí zapríčinila GvHD a jej komplikácie (n = 24; 46,2 %) a na druhom mieste bol relaps (n = 18; 34,6 %). Akútnu GvHD vyvinulo 30 (31,3%) a chronickú GvHD 25 (26,0%) z celkového počtu 96 pacientov. Celkovo GvHD vyvinulo 45 pacientov (46,9%). Pozorovali sme horšie celkové prežívanie pacientov mužského pohlavia, ktorí mali darkyne ženy v porovnaní s ostatnými pacientami (p = 0,01; HR = 2,33). Celkové prežívanie bolo lepšie u pacientov transplantovaných do 1 roka od stanovenia diagnózy, v porovnaní s pacientami transplantovanými po 1 roku (p = 0,03; HR = 1,93). Žiadny z faktorov nemal štatisticky významný vplyv na akutnú GvHD, chronickú GvHD a celkovo na GvHD. Záver: Potvrdili sme, že nezhoda pohlaví, ak darcom je žena a príjemcom muž, signifikantne negatívne ovplyvňuje celkové prežívanie po alloHSCT. Rovnako, celkové prežívanie mali signifikantne kratšie pacienti, ktorí podstúpili alloHSCT neskôr ako 1 rok od potvrdenia diagnózy.
Backgrounds: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) is a substantial therapeutic procedure for the treatment of a wide spectrum of severe diseases. Despite advancements in treatment and supportive care, alloHSCT still carries a considerable mortality risk, primarily caused by graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). Our retrospective analysis aimed to identify the factors influencing overall survival and GvHD development in HLA-identical sibling alloHSCT. We have analyzed patients’ and donors’ age, AB0 compatibility, recipient-donor gender match, stem cell source, time from the diagnosis to alloHSCT, conditioning regimen type, GvHD prophylaxis, and relapse. Patients and methods: Our study included 96 patients (54 male, 42 female) who underwent HLA-identical sibling alloHSCT. The median follow-up was 64.5 months (range 1–218 months), and the median age of both recipients and donors was 34 years. Malignant hematological diseases were the most common indications for alloHSCT. Results: GvHD and its complications accounted for the highest number of deaths (N = 24; 46.2%), followed by relapse (N = 18; 34.6%). Acute GvHD developed in 30 patients (31.3%), while chronic GvHD occurred in 25 patients (26.0%), resulting in a total of 45 patients (46.9%) experiencing GvHD. Male recipients with female donors had significantly worse overall survival compared to other patients (P = 0.01; HR = 2.33). Overall survival was better in patients transplanted within 1 year from the diagnosis compared to those transplanted after 1 year (P = 0.03; HR = 1.93). No factor reached statistical significance regarding the impact on acute GvHD, chronic GvHD, or overall GvHD. Conclusion: We confirmed that sex mismatch, specifically in the case of a female donor and a male recipient, significantly negatively affects overall survival after alloHSCT. Additionally, overall survival is significantly shorter when the interval between the diagnosis and alloHSCT exceeds one year.

Objective: In recent years, the role of the modern inflammatory markers TREM-1 (triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells) and HMGB1 (high mobility group box 1 protein) in tumorigenesis has begun to be studied. Their role in gliomas is not clear. The aim of our study was to find the role of inflammation in gliomas. Patients and Methods. In 63 adult patients with gliomas and 31 healthy controls, the expressions of TREM-1 and TREM-2 on CD14+ blood cells (method: flow cytometry) and the levels of soluble sTREM-1, HMGB1, IL-6, and IL-10 (Elisa tests) were analyzed. Results: Cox proportional hazard analysis showed that a TREM-1/TREM-2 ratio was associated with reduced overall survival (HR = 1.001, P = 0.023). Patients with a TREM-1/TREM-2 ratio above 125 survived significantly shorter than patients with a TREM-1/TREM-2 ratio below 125. The percentage of CD14+ TREM-1+ cells was strongly associated with a plasma IL-6/IL-10 ratio (positively) and with IL-10 (negatively). Conversely, we found a higher percentage of CD14+ TREM-2+ monocytes in better surviving patients; these cells could downregulate the exaggerated inflammation and potentiate the phagocytosis in the tumor. The serum levels of HMGB1 negatively correlated with the percentage of CD14+ TREM-1+ cells and with the TREM-1/TREM-2 ratio. The positive correlation between the serum levels of a late proinflammatory cytokine HMGB1 with the percentage of TREM2+ CD14+ monocytes can be explained as an effort for suppression of systemic inflammation by anti-inflammatory acting CD14+ TREM-2+ cells. Conclusion: We showed that the TREM-1/TREM-2 ratio (expression on the surface of blood monocytes) could help predict prognosis in patients with gliomas, especially in high-grade gliomas, and that systemic inflammation has an impact on the patient's overall survival. This is the first study that showed that TREM expression on monocytes in peripheral blood could help predict prognosis in patients with gliomas.

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) represent a unique cell type with anti-proliferative effects on activated T and B cells. Based on our observation of differences between rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis bone marrow B cells we hypothesized that rheumatoid arthritis bone marrow MSCs may enhance B-cell survival. We aimed to compare the effect of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis bone marrow-derived MSCs (rheumatoid arthritis MSCs, osteoarthritis MSCs) on the survival of healthy donor purified B cells. Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis MSCs were isolated from patients undergoing hip replacement surgery, and cultured in vitro for 2-5 passages. Washed cells were co-cultured with CD20+ B cells for 30-90 hours. Cell survival was analysed using 7-amino-actinomycin D labelling by flow cytometry. Expression of mRNA and protein was determined by RT-PCR and flow cytomery. Co-culture with both rheumatoid arthritis MSCs and osteoarthritis MSCs significantly enhanced B-cell survival, the effect being more prominent in rheumatoid arthritis MSCs. Both types of MSCs displayed expression of B cell-activating factor mRNA and protein. Blocking B cell-activating factor signalling from MSCs by specific anti-B cell-activating factor and anti-B cell-activating factor receptor antibodies weakly reversed the effect of MSCs on B-cell survival mainly in rheumatoid arthritis MSCs. MSC interaction with B cells provides stimuli for B-cell survival and therefore may contribute to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. MSC-derived factors other than B cell-activating factor are likely to contribute to this effect. This feature is more prominent in rheumatoid arthritis MSCs, possibly due to the B cell-activating factor.
