    Abstract The cuprizone model is a widely used model to study the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Due to the selective loss of mature oligodendrocytes and myelin, it is mainly being used to study demyelination and the mechanisms of remyelination, as well as the efficiency of compounds or therapeutics aiming at remyelination. Although early investigations using high dosages of cuprizone reported the occurrence of hydrocephalus, it has long been assumed that cuprizone feeding at lower dosages does not induce changes at the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Here, by analyzing BBB ultrastructure with high-resolution electron microscopy, we report changes at astrocytic endfeet surrounding vessels in the brain parenchyma. Particularly, edema formation around blood vessels and swollen astrocytic endfeet already occurred after feeding low dosages of cuprizone. These findings indicate changes in BBB function that will have an impact on the milieu of the central nervous system (CNS) in the cuprizone model and need to be considered when studying the mechanisms of de- and remyelination.

    Abstract Background and purpose: KRAS is frequently mutated, and the Y-box binding protein 1 (YB-1) is overexpressed in colorectal cancer (CRC). Mutant KRAS (KRAS
    Materials and methods: KRAS activity and KRAS mutation were analyzed by Ras-GTP assay and NGS. Effect of dual targeting of RSK and AKT (DT), the effect of fisetin as well as targeting PAK by FRAX486 and EGFR by erlotinib on YB-1 activity was tested by Western blotting after irradiation in vitro and ex vivo. Additionally, the effect of DT and FRAX486 on DSB repair pathways was tested in cells expressing reporter constructs for the DSB repair pathways by flow cytometry analysis. Residual DSBs and clonogenicity were examined by γH2AX- and clonogenic assays, respectively.
    Results: Erlotinib neither blocked DSB repair nor inhibited YB-1 phosphorylation under KRAS mutation condition in vitro and ex vivo. DT and FRAX486 effectively inhibited YB-1 phosphorylation independent of KRAS mutation status and diminished homologous recombination (HR) and alternative non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair. DT and FRAX486 inhibited DSB repair in CaCo2 but not in isogenic KRAS
    Conclusion: Combination of fisetin with radiotherapy may improve CRC radiation response, regardless of KRAS

    Title translation NTRK-Genfusionen beim Melanom: Diagnostik, Prävalenz und mögliche Therapierelevanz.
    Abstract Fusionen der neurotrophen Tyrosin-Rezeptor-Kinase (NTRK) sind bekannte Treiber der Onkogenese und treten, wenn auch sehr selten, ebenfalls beim Melanom auf. Eine besonders hohe Inzidenz von NTRK-Genfusionen wird beim infantilen Fibrosarkom (> 90 %) oder der sekretorischen Form des Mammakarzinoms (> 90 %) berichtet. Erst kürzlich wurde Larotrectinib, ein Tropomyosin-Rezeptor-Kinase (TRK)-Inhibitor, zugelassen, und wir fragten uns, ob TRK-Inhibitoren auch für Melanompatienten relevant sein könnten. Aus diesem Grund haben wir die Literatur gesichtet und sind zu relevanten Ergebnissen gekommen. Beim spitzoiden Melanom sind NTRK-Fusionen mit einer Prävalenz von 21-29 % relativ häufig, verglichen mit < 1 % beim kutanen oder mukosalen und 2,5 % beim akralen Melanom. Es scheint so zu sein, dass sich Fusionsproteine und andere onkogene Treiber wie BRAF oder NRAS gegenseitig ausschließen. Ein weiterer Anhaltspunkt für eine erhöhte Wahrscheinlichkeit, NTRK-positive Tumoren zu detektieren, könnte eine geringe Tumormutationslast sein. Da für Patienten mit NTRK-Fusionen bereits TRK-Inhibitoren zur Verfügung stehen, wird die Herausforderung darin bestehen, das Screening auf NTRK-Genfusionen in die klinische Praxis umzusetzen. Ein möglicher Ansatz könnte darin bestehen, BRAF-, NRAS- und KIT-Wildtyp-Melanom-Patienten mittels Next-Generation Sequencing zu screenen, sobald sie eine systemische Therapie benötigen oder aber spätestens dann, wenn sie kein Therapieansprechen auf Checkpoint-Inhibitoren zeigen.

    Abstract Fusions involving neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) are known drivers of oncogenesis and also occur in melanoma, although very rarely. A particularly high incidence of NTRK gene fusions is reported in infantile fibrosarcoma (> 90 %) or the secretory type of breast cancer (> 90 %). Recently, larotrectinib (a tropomyosin receptor kinase [TRK] inhibitor) was approved, and we wondered whether TRK inhibitors might also be helpful for melanoma patients. We therefore screened the literature and obtained relevant results. NTRK fusions are relatively common in spitzoid melanoma, with a prevalence of 21-29 % compared to < 1 % in cutaneous or mucosal melanoma and 2.5 % in acral melanoma. It appears that fusion proteins are mutually exclusive for most common oncogenic drivers such as BRAF or NRAS. A further indicator of an increased probability of detecting NTRK-positive tumors could be a low mutation load. Since TRK inhibitors are already available for patients with NTRK fusions, the challenge will be to implement screening for NTRK gene fusions in clinical practice. A possible approach could be to screen BRAF, NRAS and KIT wild-type melanoma patients with next-generation sequencing as soon as they need systemic treatment or at the latest when they have no tumor control on checkpoint inhibitors.

    Abstract Metastatic uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare form of melanoma differing from cutaneous melanoma by etiology, prognosis, driver mutations, pattern of metastases and poor response rate to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Recently, a bispecific gp100 peptide-HLA-directed CD3 T cell engager, tebentafusp, has been approved for the treatment of HLA-A*02:01 metastatic or unresectable UM. While the treatment regime is complex with weekly administrations and close monitoring, the response rate is limited. Only a few data exist on combined ICI in UM after previous progression on tebentafusp. In this case report, we present a patient with metastatic UM who first suffered extensive progression under treatment with tebentafusp but in the following had an excellent response to combined ICI. We discuss possible interactions that could explain responsiveness to ICI after pretreatment with tebentafusp in advanced UM.

    Title translation Lymphoma of the eye and its adnexa : Modern pathological diagnostics and systemic treatment.
    Abstract Background: Malignant lymphomas of the eye and its adnexal structures account for approximately 5-15% of extranodal lymphomas. According to anatomic and biological criteria, two large groups of lymphomas in and around the eye need to be distinguished: (1) primary lymphomas of intraocular structures and (2) primary lymphomas of ocular adnexa. Furthermore, there is a large spectrum of secondary manifestations of malignant lymphomas in ocular and periocular structures.
    Objective: This article gives a summary of the classification and molecular pathology of various intraocular and periocular lymphomas as well as oncological systemic treatment with a focus on primary vitreoretinal lymphomas.
    Methods: A selective literature search was carried out in PubMed on the topic of intraocular and periocular lymphomas and own experiences are presented.
    Results: The treatment of primary vitreoretinal lymphomas (PVRL) is an interdisciplinary challenge and despite the apparently localized disease, systemic treatment concepts are necessary to reduce the high risk of secondary involvement of the central nervous system (CNS). Therefore, it is crucial that the substances used can penetrate the CNS, and protocols should be chosen in accordance with the treatment concepts for primary CNS lymphomas. The knowledge on the genetics and biology of ocular lymphomas generated by modern high throughput methods enable not only improved diagnostics using molecular methods but also provide rationales for targeted therapeutic approaches.
    Conclusion: A deep understanding of the biological and molecular principles of intraocular and periocular lymphomas forms a basic prerequisite for precise diagnostics and the use of targeted systemic treatment.

    Abstract Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) in adults. These lymphomas are classified according to gene expression profiling (GEP) into germinal center B-cell (GCB) and activated B-cell type (ABC). Recent studies have suggested new subtypes of large B-cell lymphoma, based on genetic and molecular alterations, among them is large B-cell lymphoma with IRF4-rearrangement (LBCL-IRF4). We used fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), GEP (using the DLBCL COO assay by HTG Molecular Inc), and next generation sequencing (NGS) to comprehensively characterize 30 cases of LBCLs located in Waldeyer's ring in adult patients and to identify LBCL-IRF4. FISH revealed breaks of IRF4 in 2/30 cases (6.7%), BCL2 breaks in 6/30 cases (20.0%), and IGH breaks in 13/29 cases (44.8%). GEP classified 14 cases each as GCB or ABC subtype, and 2 cases remained unclassified; this was concordant with the immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 25/30 cases (83.3%). A subgrouping, based on GEP, was performed: group 1 included 14 GCB cases with the most frequent mutations in BCL2 and EZH2 in 6/14 cases (42.8%). The two cases with IRF4 rearrangement were assigned to this group by GEP and showed IRF4 mutations, supporting the diagnosis of LBCL-IRF4. Group 2 included 14 ABC cases; the most frequent mutations were CD79B and MYD88 identified in 5/14 patients (35.7%). Group 3 included 2 unclassifiable cases in which no molecular patterns were detected. Overall, LBCLs of Waldeyer's ring in adult patients are a heterogeneous group, including LBCL-IRF4, which shares several features with cases in the pediatric population.

    Abstract Background: Breast cancer is a metabolically heterogeneous disease, and although the concept of heterogeneous cancer metabolism is known, its precise role in human breast cancer is yet to be fully elucidated.
    Methods: We investigated in an explorative approach a cohort of 42 primary mamma carcinoma patients with positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MR) prior to surgery, followed by histopathology and molecular diagnosis. From a subset of patients, which showed high metabolic heterogeneity based on tracer uptake and pathology classification, tumour centre and periphery specimen tissue samples were further investigated by a targeted breast cancer gene expression panel and quantitative metabolomics by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. All data were analysed in a combinatory approach.

    Abstract Differential diagnosis of clonal versus reactive cytopenia and monocytosis, respectively, frequently presents a diagnostic challenge. With the two recent classifications of myeloid disorders, mutational analysis has gained importance as a diagnostic tool. However, reports on its utility on trephine bone marrow biopsies (BMB) are sparse. The aim of our proof of principle study was to determine the suitability of targeted sequencing for the longitudinal evaluation of cytopenia and monocytosis and demonstration of clonal evolution on sequential BMB. Seventy-seven EDTA-decalcified BMB of 33 patients with peripheral cytopenia and/or monocytosis, including at least one follow-up biopsy/patient, were included. Initial morphological diagnoses were idiopathic cytopenia of undetermined significance (ICUS, 8 cases), MDS (without blast increase, 7 cases), MDS with increased blasts/excess blasts (MDS-IB/EB) (11 cases), and CMML (7 cases). Thirty-one genes relevant for myeloid disorders were examined using two custom AmpliSeq NGS panels. Mutations were found in the initial BMB of 5/8 cases of ICUS, thus changing the diagnosis to clonal cytopenia of unknown significance (CCUS), 5/7 MDS, 10/11 MDS-IB/EB, and 7/7 CMML. Clonal evolution was observed in 14/33 (42%) cases, mostly associated with disease progression. None of the wild-type patients acquired mutations during follow-up. NGS-based mutation profiling is a robust diagnostic tool for BMB and provides valuable additional information, especially for cases with no/minimal dysplasia, and for better risk stratification of MDS. Tracking variant allele frequency and appearance of mutations over time allows for observing clonal evolution or relapse.
