BACKGROUND:
Several studies have demonstrated the occurrence of secondary tumors as a rare but significant complication of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy, underscoring the need for a detailed investigation. Given the limited variety of secondary tumor types reported to date, a comprehensive characterization of the various secondary tumors arising after CAR-T therapy is essential to understand the associated risks and to define the role of the immune microenvironment in malignant transformation. This study aims to characterize the immune microenvironment of a newly identified secondary tumor post-CAR-T therapy, to clarify its pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets.
METHODS:
In this study, the bone marrow (BM) samples were collected by aspiration from the primary and secondary tumors before and after CD19 CAR-T treatment. The CD45 + BM cells were enriched with human CD45 microbeads. The CD45 + cells were then sent for 10× genomics single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to identify cell populations. The Cell Ranger pipeline and CellChat were used for detailed analysis.
RESULTS:
In this study, a rare type of secondary chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) were reported in a patient with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who had previously received CD19 CAR-T therapy. The scRNA-seq analysis revealed increased inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and an immunosuppressive state of monocytes/macrophages, which may impair cytotoxic activity in both T and natural killer (NK) cells in secondary CMML before treatment. In contrast, their cytotoxicity was restored in secondary CMML after treatment.
CONCLUSIONS
This finding delineates a previously unrecognized type of secondary tumor, CMML, after CAR-T therapy and provide a framework for defining the immune microenvironment of secondary tumor occurrence after CAR-T therapy. In addition, the results provide a rationale for targeting macrophages to improve treatment strategies for CMML treatment.

Objective:To explore the cardioprotective effects of icariin (ICA) against radiation-induced cardiac disease (RICD) in C57BL/6 mice.Methods:A total of 48 female C57BL/6J mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into three groups: the control group (CON), the irradiation group (IR), and the irradiation combined with icariin group (IR+ ICA), with 16 mice in each group. The IR and IR+ ICA groups received a single cardiac irradiation at a dose of 30 Gy, while the CON group received no radiation treatment. The IR+ ICA group was treated with ICA (70 mg·kg -1·d -1) two weeks before irradiation until the end of the experiment through intragastric administration. In contrast, the CON and IR groups were treated with an equal volume of vehicle solution (0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, NaCMC) via intragastric administration. The mice′s mental status, food intake, body weight, and survival rates were monitored during the experiment. At two weeks post-irradiation, the venous blood of the mice was collected and serum was separated for the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) of creatine kinase MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT/TNNT2). At 12 weeks post-irradiation, the cardiac function of the mice was assessed using echocardiography. After the mice were euthanized under anesthesia, the histopathological changes and fibrosis degree of their myocardial tissues were assessed using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and Masson′s trichrome staining, followed by the calculation of collagen volume fraction (CVF). The differential gene expression of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the cardiac tissues of the mice was detected using real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Apoptosis-related proteins and proteins associated with the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) pathway were determined using Western blotting. The survival curves of the mice were plotted using Kaplan-Meier, and the survival differences of the mice among various groups were compared using the log-rank test. Results:After irradiation, the mice in the IR group showed lethargy, as well as decreased food intake and activity, while these symptoms in the IR+ ICA group were significantly alleviated. At two weeks post-irradiation, the CK-MB and cTnT levels of the IR group were significantly elevated compared with the CON group ( t = 5.28, 8.89, P < 0.01). At 12 weeks post-irradiation, the mice in the IR group exhibited significantly decreased body weight ( t = 2.47, P < 0.05) and decreased survival rates ( HR = 8.25, 95% CI: 1.157-58.770, P < 0.05) compared with the CON group. Echocardiography revealed that the IR group featured decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (EF), decreased fractional shortening (FS), and increased left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDD) compared with the CON group ( t = 7.02, 4.45, P < 0.05). Histopathological examination revealed that the IR group suffered from cardiomyocyte edema, disordered arrangement, and increased fibrosis, with an elevated CVF. The IR group exhibited significantly upregulated gene expression of BNP, TGF-β, and IL-6 in cardiac tissues compared with the CON group ( t = 4.23, 6.39, 4.61, P < 0.05). After-irradiation, the IR group exhibited upregulated apoptosis-related proteins Cleaved Caspase-3 and Bax ( t = 6.29, 9.54, P < 0.05), decreased Bcl-2 expression ( t = 8.20, P < 0.001), and decreased phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt ( t = 6.47, 3.42, P < 0.001). The symptoms of the mice were partially ameliorated after treatment with ICA. Specifically, the mice in the IR+ ICA group exhibited higher body weight ( t = 5.13, P < 0.001) and significantly higher survival rates ( HR = 0.121, 95% CI: 0.017-0.864, P < 0.05) than the IR group. Compared to the IR group, the IR+ ICA group showed elevated cardiac function indicators EF and FS( t = 3.23, 3.05, P < 0.05), and reduced LVDD ( t = 3.02, P < 0.05). The histopathological analysis revealed mitigated edema and disordered arrangement of cardiomyocytes in the IR+ ICA group. Furthermore, the IR+ ICA group exhibited significantly lower BNP, TGF-β, and IL-6 expression levels than the IR group ( t = 2.83, 4.15, 2.96, P < 0.05). The expression of apoptosis-related proteins Cleaved Caspase-3 and Bax was lower ( t = 3.23, 3.24, P < 0.05), Bcl-2 expression was higher ( t = 5.92, P < 0.001), and restored phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt ( t = 2.89, 8.35, P < 0.001). Conclusions:Icariin has protective effects against the RICD. It alleviates cardiomyocyte apoptosis possibly by upregulating the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt.

Objective:To investigate the imaging features of single hip joint in patients with acetabular labrum injury, and to analyze the clinical value of 3.0T MRI scanning in the diagnosis of acetabular labrum injury.Methods:Clinical data of 76 patients with high suspicion of acetabular labrum injury and hip arthroscopy during clinical physical examination in Peking University Third Hospital Qinhuangdao Hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 were retrospectively collected. All patients underwent 3.0T MRI scan of single hip joint before surgery. The type, location and degree of acetabular labrum injury were evaluated by imaging diagnosis, and the diagnostic efficacy of 3.0T MRI single hip scan for acetabular labrum injury was analyzed with the hip arthroscopy as the " gold standard" .Results:Hip arthroscopy showed that 63 patients with acetabular labrum injury had 87 lesions in 228 labrum regions, including 56 lesions in the anterior labrum, 25 lesions in the outer upper labrum, and 6 lesions in the posterior labrum. The injury types were 141 without tear, 29 with parenchymal tear of acetabular labrum and 58 with cartilage junction of acetabular labrum. MRI scan showed changes in high signal within the labrum of the acetabulum, and there were high signal shadows between the labrum base and the acetabular cartilage, and the signal was uneven. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of single hip MRI scanning in the diagnosis of acetabular labrum injury were 85.71%, 84.62% and 85.53%, respectively. The lesions of anterior pelvis and lip were 80.36%, 75.00% and 78.95%, respectively. The injuries of external upper pelvis and lip were 72.00%, 80.39% and 77.63%, respectively. The injuries of posterior pelvis and lip were 100.00%, 95.71% and 96.05%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of single hip MRI in the diagnosis of parenchymatous tear of acetabulum labrum were 100.00%, 94.83% and 96.55%, respectively, which was in good agreement with that of hip arthroscopy (Kappa=0.924).Conclusions:3.0T MRI scan of single hip can effectively diagnose the injury of acetabular pelvis and lip, and has high diagnostic value in the differential diagnosis of different parts and types of acetabular pelvis and lip injury.

ObjectiveBy starting with the combination of Os Draconis, Bupleuri Radix, and Ostreae Concha, the role of mineral medicine Os Draconis in the combination of the Bupleuri Radix-containing tri-herbal medicines was preliminarily explored from the perspective of supramolecular system formation. Method① The appearance and Tyndall phenomenon of single decoction of Os Draconis, Bupleuri Radix, and Ostreae Concha, as well as co-decoction of Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis, Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis-Ostreae Concha, and Bupleuri Radix-Ostreae Concha were observed, and the average particle size, dispersion coefficient, and Zeta potential of suspension particles in each decoction were determined. The micromorphology of supramolecular structures was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). ② The pH of different compatibility systems, liquid viscosity coefficient, liquid surface tension, freeze-dried powder yield rate, and other physical properties were determined, and the interaction of different compatibility systems was detected by infrared absorption spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis). ③ The composition and content difference of different compatible systems were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS). ResultCompared with the single decoction, the co-decoction had more obvious turbidity and Tyndall phenomenon. The particles in the co-decoction suspension were smaller and more evenly distributed, and the Zeta potential was reduced, indicating a more stable system. Under SEM, Bupleuri Radix was irregularly lamellar, and Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis and Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis-Ostreae Concha were mainly spherical nanoparticles. Bupleuri Radix-Ostreae Concha was irregularly lamellar, with a small number of spherical nanoparticles. The pH of the single decoction of Bupleuri Radix and co-decoction increased, and the viscosity coefficient increased. The liquid surface tension decreased. The freeze-dried powder yield rate of the Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis co-decoction was the highest, followed by Bupleuri Radix-Ostreae Concha decoction and Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis-Ostreae Concha decoction, and the yield rate of Bupleuri Radix single decoction was the lowest. The main change of FTIR was the stretching vibration of -OH, and the co-decoction moved to the low-frequency direction obviously. UV-Vis showed that the maximum absorption occurred at 295.8 nm for all groups, and the absorption intensity was different (Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis>Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis-Ostreae Concha>Bupleuri Radix-Ostreae Concha>Bupleuri Radix). The components of Bupleuri Radix were used as the indexes, and the content of methanol extract determined by HPLC was higher than that of water extract, and the components of Bupleuri Radix single decoction were mainly saikosaponin a (SSa) and saikosaponin c (SSc), which were slightly higher after co-decoction compatibility. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS could identify 37 compounds in both single decoction and co-decoction. ConclusionThe combination of Bupleuri Radix, Os Draconis, and Ostreae Concha can form a smaller, more uniform, and stable nano-sized supramolecular system, which is conducive to the dissolution of the main components of Bupleuri Radix, and the Os Draconis contributes the most in this process.
