    Abstract SARS-CoV-2 infection alters cellular RNA content. Cellular RNAs are chemically modified and eventually degraded, depositing modified nucleosides into extracellular fluids such as serum and urine. Here we searched for COVID-19-specific changes in modified nucleoside levels contained in serum and urine of 308 COVID-19 patients using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). We found that two modified nucleosides,

    Abstract We report the case of a 52-year-old male who presented to our hospital with cervical lymphadenopathy. Lymph node biopsy revealed small atypical lymphoid cells positive for CD3 and CD5 and negative for CD56 and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded small RNA (EBER) by in situ hybridization. CD4-positive cells and CD8-positive cells were mixed in almost equal numbers. He was diagnosed with peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS). The patient received one cycle of chemotherapy, resulting in severe sepsis. While undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit with an antimicrobial agent and prednisone, ascitic fluid appeared. Abdominal aspiration revealed neutrophil-predominant ascites and microbiological studies revealed Candida albicans. However, ascites did not improve when treated with micafungin for Candida peritonitis. Abdominal aspiration was re-performed, and atypical lymphoid cells that were positive for CD3 and CD56 were detected. EBV-DNA levels in whole blood were significantly elevated. Atypical lymphoid cells were positive for EBER by in situ hybridization and Southern blot analysis showed EBV terminal repeat monoclonal patterns. Bone marrow examination revealed the same atypical lymphoid cells. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) with bone marrow involvement 3 months after the diagnosis of PTCL-NOS. Complications associated with PTCL-NOS and ENKTL are rare. PTCL-NOS, chemotherapy, sepsis, and prednisone might have led to immunodeficiency and reactivation of EBV, which might be one of the pathophysiologies for developing ENKTL. Our case indicates that measuring EBV-DNA in the blood is a simple and prompt examination to detect complications of EBV-associated lymphoma.

    Abstract Abstract: Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is triggered by infection with human T-cell lymphotropic virus-1 (HTLV-1). Here, we describe the reprogramming of pyrimidine biosynthesis in both normal T cells and ATL cells through regulation of uridine-cytidine kinase 2 (UCK2), which supports vigorous proliferation. UCK2 catalyzes the monophosphorylation of cytidine/uridine and their analogues during pyrimidine biosynthesis and drug metabolism. We found that UCK2 was overexpressed aberrantly in HTLV-1-infected T cells but not in normal T cells. T-cell activation via T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling induced expression of UCK2 in normal T cells. Somatic alterations and epigenetic modifications in ATL cells activate TCR signaling. Therefore, we believe that expression of UCK2 in HTLV-1-infected cells is induced by dysregulated TCR signaling. Recently, we established azacitidine-resistant (AZA-R) cells showing absent expression of UCK2. AZA-R cells proliferated normally in vitro, whereas UCK2 knockdown inhibited ATL cell growth. Although uridine and cytidine accumulated in AZA-R cells, possibly because of dysfunction of pyrimidine salvage biosynthesis induced by loss of UCK2 expression, the amount of UTP and CTP was almost the same as in parental cells. Furthermore, AZA-R cells were more susceptible to an inhibitor of dihydroorotic acid dehydrogenase, which performs the rate-limiting enzyme of de novo pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis, and more resistant to dipyridamole, an inhibitor of pyrimidine salvage biosynthesis, suggesting that AZA-R cells adapt to UCK2 loss by increasing de novo pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis. Taken together, the data suggest that fine-tuning pyrimidine biosynthesis supports vigorous cell proliferation of both normal T cells and ATL cells.

    Abstract Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is an aggressive T-cell neoplasia associated with human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection and has an extremely poor prognosis. Lenalidomide (LEN; a second-generation immunomodulatory drug [IMiD]) has been employed as an additional therapeutic option for ATL since 2017, but its mechanism of action has not been fully proven, and recent studies reported emerging concerns about the development of second primary malignancies in patients treated with long-term IMiD therapy. Our purpose in this study was to elucidate the IMiD-mediated anti-ATL mechanisms. Thirteen ATL-related cell lines were divided into LEN-sensitive or LEN-resistant groups.

    Abstract Regulatory T cells (Tregs) suppress the host immune response and maintain immune homeostasis. Tregs also promote cancer progression and are involved in resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitor treatments. Recent studies identified selective CCR8 expression on tumor-infiltrating Tregs; CCR8+ Tregs have been indicated as a possible new target of cancer immunotherapy. Here, we investigated the features of CCR8+ Tregs in lung cancer patients. CCR8+ Tregs were highly activated and infiltration of CCR8+ Tregs in tumors was associated with poor prognosis in lung cancer patients. We also investigated their immune suppressive function, especially the influence on cytotoxic T lymphocyte cell function. The Cancer Genome Atlas analysis revealed that CD8 T cell activities were suppressed in high CCR8-expressing tumors. Additionally, depletion of CCR8+ cells enhanced CD8 T cell function in an ex vivo culture of lung tumor-infiltrating cells. Moreover, CCR8+ Tregs, but not CCR8- Tregs, induced from human PBMCs markedly suppressed CD8 T cell cytotoxicity. Finally, we demonstrated the therapeutic effect of targeting CCR8 in a murine model of lung cancer. These findings reveal the significance of CCR8+ Tregs for immunosuppression in lung cancer, especially via cytotoxic T lymphocyte cell suppression, and suggest the potential value of CCR8-targeted therapy for cancer treatment.

    Abstract Objective This study aimed to determine whether differences in the static field strength of 1.5-T and 3.0-T MRI systems affect the diagnostic results of tumor size measurement in breast cancer and to compare them with the results of tumor size in surgical pathology diagnosis. Methods We adopted a retrospective and case-control study design. We included patients with a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer who underwent breast MRI at our hospital between January 2017 and March 2023. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted (Gd-T1WI) MRI, and tumor size from surgical pathology were compared via a significance difference test and correlation analysis between the two groups. In this study, the maximum diameters of the tumor obtained by DWI and Gd-T1WI on 1.5-T and 3.0-T MRI systems were divided by the maximum diameter from surgical pathology diagnosis to arrive at the tumor ratio index. Results A total of 36 patients met the selection criteria: 15 for the 1.5-T system and 21 for the 3.0-T system; all of them were female. The mean ratio of pathological tumor length to diameter measured by MRI for each system showed no significant difference between the groups (p=0.653). For the 1.5-T MRI system, the ratio of tumor length diameter by DWI to that by pathology was 1.042 ±0.361, and the ratio of tumor length diameter by Gd-T1WI to that by pathology was 1.107 ±0.314, with no significant difference observed between ratios (p=0.345). The correlation coefficient between them was r=0.730 (p=0.002). For the 3.0-T MRI system, the ratio of tumor length diameter by DWI to that by pathology was 0.893 ±0.197, while the ratio of tumor length diameter by Gd-T1WI to that by pathology was 1.062 ±0.177, with a significant difference between the two (p<0.001). The correlation coefficient between the two groups was 0.695 (p<0.001). Conclusions While there was no significant difference in the ratios of tumor length diameter measured by 1.5-T Gd-T1WI and DWI compared to pathology, there was a significant difference in the ratios of tumor length diameter measured by 3.0-T DWI and Gd-T1WI compared to pathology. Hence, only 3.0-T DWI can lead to a potential underestimation of tumor length.

    Abstract A rare case of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma(ENKL)with small intestinal perforation is reported. A 92-year-old man was admitted for a loss of consciousness. Computed tomography(CT)scan revealed the presence of an intraperitoneal abscess that was drained. Two days later, the drained fluid changed to intestinal juice, and intestinal perforation was suspected. The patient underwent surgery which revealed a 1 cm perforation site in the ileum. A high fever continued after surgery, and malignant lymphoma was diagnosed from pathological findings; however, further treatment could not be performed. He died 24 days after the operation. Pathological dissection revealed metastasis of ENKL at the systemic lymph nodes.
