    Abstract Lynch syndrome has been associated with predominantly colorectal, endometrial, and ovarian cancer. We report hereby an unusual case of thymic carcinoma in a patient with Lynch syndrome. A 45-year-old Caucasian woman with a personal history of Lynch syndrome (MLH1 heterozygous mutation) presented with dyspnea, chest pain, and dysphagia. CT chest showed a bulky anterior mediastinal mass, pulmonary nodules, and pericardial effusion. Lung biopsy demonstrated a poorly differentiated carcinoma with squamous features with extensive necrosis, favouring thymic origin. Genomic studies on the tumour revealed deficient mismatch repair status with a two-copy deletion of MLH1 at 3p22.2 and c-Kit mutation. She received carboplatin and paclitaxel, with initial clinical improvement, but then died within 3 months after diagnosis. This case highlights that thymic cancer may be one of the malignancies associated with Lynch syndrome, and MLH1 gene mutation may have a role in the pathogenesis of thymic cancer.

  3. Article: Metabolites of the phospholipase D pathway regulate H2O2-induced filamin redistribution in endothelial cells.

    Abstract Hypoxia/reoxygenation injury to cultured endothelial cells results in cytoskeletal rearrangement and second messenger activation related to increased monolayer junctional permeability. Cytoskeletal rearrangement by reactive oxygen species may be related to specific activation of the phospholipase D (PLD) pathway. Human umbilical vein endothelial cell monolayers are exposed to H2O2 (100 microM) or metabolites of the PLD pathway for 1-60 min. Changes in cAMP levels, Ca2+ levels, PIP2 production, filamin distribution, and intercellular gap formation are then quantitated. H2O2-induced filamin translocation from the membrane to the cytosol occurs after 1-min H2O2 treatment, while intercellular gap formation significantly increases after 15 min. H2O2 and phosphatidic acid exposure rapidly decrease intracellular cAMP levels, while increasing PIP2 levels in a Ca2+-independent manner. H2O2-induced cAMP decreases are prevented by inhibiting phospholipase D. H2O2-induced cytoskeletal changes are prevented by inhibiting phospholipase D, phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate kinase, phosphoinositide turnover, or by adding a synthetic peptide that binds PIP2. These data indicate that metabolites produced downstream of H2O2-induced PLD activation may mediate filamin redistribution and F-actin rearrangement.

    Abstract Interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been linked to several life-threatening disease processes. Developing a point-of-care testing platform for the immediate and accurate detection of IL-6 concentrations could present a valuable tool for improving clinical management in patients with IL-6-mediated diseases. Drawing on an available biobank of samples from 35 patients hospitalized with COVID-19, a novel quantum-magnetic sensing platform is used to determine plasma IL-6 concentrations. A strong correlation was observed between IL-6 levels measured by QDTI10x and the Luminex assay (r = 0.70, p-value < 0.001) and between QDTI80x and Luminex (r = 0.82, p-value < 0.001). To validate the non-inferiority of QDTI to Luminex in terms of the accuracy of IL-6 measurement, two clinical parameters—the need for intensive care unit admission and the need for mechanical intubation—were chosen. IL-6 concentrations measured by the two assays were compared with respect to these clinical outcomes. Results demonstrated a comparative predictive performance between the two assays with a significant correlation coefficient. Conclusion: In short, the QDTI assay holds promise for implementation as a potential tool for rapid clinical decision in patients with IL-6-mediated diseases. It could also reduce healthcare costs and enable the development of future various biomolecule point-of-care tests for different clinical scenarios.
