    Abstract DNA methylation alterations are related to multiple molecular mechanisms. The DNA context of CpG sites plays a crucial role in the maintenance and stability of methylation patterns. The quantitative relationship between DNA composition and DNA methylation has been studied in normal as well as pathological conditions, showing that DNA methylation status is highly dependent on the local sequence context. In this work, we describe this relationship by analyzing the DNA sequence context associated to methylation profiles in both physiological and pathological conditions. In particular, we used DNA motifs to describe methylation stability patterns in normal tissues and aberrant methylation events in cancer lesions. In this manuscript, we show how different groups of DNA sequences can be related to specific epigenetic events, across normal and cancer tissues, and provide a thorough structural and functional characterization of these sequences.

    Abstract The tetraspanins CD9, CD81 and CD63 are major components of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Yet, their impact on EV composition remains under-investigated. In the MCF7 breast cancer cell line CD63 was as expected predominantly intracellular. In contrast CD9 and CD81 strongly colocalized at the plasma membrane, albeit with different ratios at different sites, which may explain a higher enrichment of CD81 in EVs. Absence of these tetraspanins had little impact on the EV protein composition as analysed by quantitative mass spectrometry. We also analysed the effect of concomitant knock-out of CD9 and CD81 because these two tetraspanins play similar roles in several cellular processes and associate directly with two Ig domain proteins, CD9P-1/EWI-F/PTGFRN and EWI-2/IGSF8. These were the sole proteins significantly decreased in the EVs of double CD9- and CD81-deficient cells. In the case of EWI-2, this is primarily a consequence of a decreased cell expression level. In conclusion, this study shows that CD9, CD81 and CD63, commonly used as EV protein markers, play a marginal role in determining the protein composition of EVs released by MCF7 cells and highlights a regulation of the expression level and/or trafficking of CD9P-1 and EWI-2 by CD9 and CD81.

    Abstract The most common cause of neoplastic thrombotic infiltration of the inferior vena cava is renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In the present report we described a case of a patient with massive RCC and extensive neoplastic thrombosis reaching the retrohepatic tract of the inferior vena cava. After a discussion in a multidisciplinary team meeting we decided to perform a radical nephrectomy with vena cava thrombectomy along with the support of a novel removable vena cava filter in order to avoid thromboembolism during the surgical procedure. Furthermore, a preoperative renal artery embolization with a non-adhesive liquid embolic agent was performed ahead of the surgical procedure in order to reduce the risk of intraoperative bleeding. The surgical procedure performed the day after was based on a hybrid endovascular-surgical approach consisting in nephrectomy, liver derotation, cavotomy with the additional use of a novel temporary caval filter, thus reducing the risk of intraoperative thromboembolic dissemination.

    Abstract Cells release a variety of extracellular vesicles (EVs; including exosomes, microvesicles, and many others) into their environment. EVs can bud in endosomes or directly at the plasma membrane, carrying a selection of components from the cell and displaying various functional properties. Different techniques can be used to separate EV subtypes and EVs from co-isolated components, resulting in preparations of different abundance and purity.

    Abstract Arundo donax has been recognized as a promising crop for biomass production on marginal lands due to its superior productivity and stress tolerance. However, salt stress negatively impacts A. donax growth and photosynthesis. In this study, we tested whether the tolerance of A. donax to salinity stress can be enhanced by the addition of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), a known promoter of plant growth and abiotic stress tolerance. Our results indicated that root exposure to ALA increased the ALA levels in leaves along the A. donax plant profile. ALA enhanced Na + accumulation in the roots of salt-stressed plants and, at the same time, lowered Na + concentration in leaves, while a reduced callose amount was found in the root tissue. ALA also improved the photosynthetic performance of salt-stressed apical leaves by stimulating stomatal opening and preventing an increase in the ratio between abscisic acid (ABA) and indol-3-acetic acid (IAA), without affecting leaf methanol emission and plant growth. Supply of ALA to the roots reduced isoprene fluxes from leaves of non-stressed plants, while it sustained isoprene fluxes along the profile of salt-stressed A. donax . Thus, ALA likely interacted with the methylerythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway and modulate the synthesis of either ABA or isoprene under stressful conditions. Overall, our study highlights the effectiveness of ALA supply through soil fertirrigation in preserving the young apical developing leaves from the detrimental effects of salt stress, thus helping of A. donax to cope with salinity and favoring the recovery of the whole plant once the stress is removed.

    Abstract Cells secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) and non-vesicular extracellular (nano)particles (NVEPs or ENPs) that may play a role in intercellular communication. Tumor-derived EVs have been proposed to induce immune priming of antigen presenting cells or to be immuno-suppressive agents. We suspect that such disparate functions are due to variable compositions in EV subtypes and ENPs. We aimed to characterize the array of secreted EVs and ENPs of murine tumor cell lines. Unexpectedly, we identified virus-like particles (VLPs) from endogenous murine leukemia virus in preparations of EVs produced by many tumor cells. We established a protocol to separate small EVs from VLPs and ENPs. We compared their protein composition and analyzed their functional interaction with target dendritic cells. ENPs were poorly captured and did not affect dendritic cells. Small EVs specifically induced dendritic cell death. A mixed large/dense EV/VLP preparation was most efficient to induce dendritic cell maturation and antigen presentation. Our results call for systematic re-evaluation of the respective proportions and functions of non-viral EVs and VLPs produced by murine tumors and their contribution to tumor progression.

    Abstract T-cell lymphomas include diverse malignancies. They are rare, some have low survival rates and they lack curative therapies. The aim of this work was to assess whether employing the TLR7 agonist imiquimod and the T-cell costimulatory molecule CD40 or the combination of both as adjuvants of a cell lysate vaccine could enhance the antitumor immune response using a murine T-cell lymphoma model. Immunization with LBC-lysate and imiquimod protected almost all vaccinated animals. A specific humoral and a Th1-type cellular immunity were induced in mice that rejected the lymphoma, characterized by an elevated number of CD4 + T-cells and secretion of IFN-γ, locally and systemically. In contrast, CD40 alone or in combination with imiquimod did not improve the protective response obtained with LBC-lysate and imiquimod. Systemic administration of imiquimod proved to have high potential to serve as a vaccine adjuvant for the treatment of T-cell lymphomas and was effective in this immunotherapy model.
