    Abstract COVID-19 affects vulnerable populations including elderly individuals and patients with cancer. Natural Killer (NK) cells and innate-immune TRAIL suppress transformed and virally-infected cells. ACE2, and TMPRSS2 protease promote SARS-CoV-2 infectivity, while inflammatory cytokines IL-6, or G-CSF worsen COVID-19 severity. We show MEK inhibitors (MEKi) VS-6766, trametinib and selumetinib reduce ACE2 expression in human cells. In some human cells, remdesivir increases ACE2-promoter luciferase-reporter expression, ACE2 mRNA and protein, and ACE2 expression is attenuated by MEKi. In serum-deprived and stimulated cells treated with remdesivir and MEKi we observed correlations between pRB, pERK, and ACE2 expression further supporting role of proliferative state and MAPK pathway in ACE2 regulation. We show elevated cytokines in COVID-19-(+) patient plasma (N=9) versus control (N=11). TMPRSS2, inflammatory cytokines G-CSF, M-CSF, IL-1α, IL-6 and MCP-1 are suppressed by MEKi alone or with remdesivir. We observed MEKi stimulation of NK-cell killing of target-cells, without suppressing TRAIL-mediated cytotoxicity. Pseudotyped SARS-CoV-2 virus with a lentiviral core and SARS-CoV-2 D614 or G614 SPIKE (S) protein on its envelope infected human bronchial epithelial cells, small airway epithelial cells, or lung cancer cells and MEKi suppressed infectivity of the pseudovirus. We show a drug class-effect with MEKi to stimulate NK cells, inhibit inflammatory cytokines and block host-factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection leading also to suppression of SARS-CoV-2-S pseudovirus infection of human cells. MEKi may attenuate SARS-CoV-2 infection to allow immune responses and antiviral agents to control disease progression.

    Abstract COVID-19 affects vulnerable populations including elderly individuals and patients with cancer. Natural Killer (NK) cells and innate-immune TRAIL suppress transformed and virally-infected cells. ACE2, and TMPRSS2 protease promote SARS-CoV-2 infectivity, while inflammatory cytokines IL-6, or G-CSF worsen COVID-19 severity. We show MEK inhibitors (MEKi) VS-6766, trametinib and selumetinib reduce ACE2 expression in human cells. Chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine increase cleaved active SP-domain of TMPRSS2, and this is potentiated by MEKi. In some human cells, remdesivir increases ACE2-promoter luciferase-reporter expression, ACE2 mRNA and protein, and ACE2 expression is attenuated by MEKi. We show elevated cytokines in COVID-19-(+) patient plasma (N=9) versus control (N=11). TMPRSS2, inflammatory cytokines G-CSF, M-CSF, IL-1alpha, IL-6 and MCP-1 are suppressed by MEKi alone or in combination with remdesivir. MEKi enhance NK cell (but not T-cell) killing of target-cells, without suppressing TRAIL-mediated cytotoxicity. We generated a pseudotyped SARS-CoV-2 virus with a lentiviral core but with the SARS-CoV-2 D614 or G614 SPIKE (S) protein on its envelope and used VSV-G lentivirus as a negative control. Our results show infection of human bronchial epithelial cells or lung cancer cells and that MEKi suppress infectivity of the SARS-CoV-2-S pseudovirus following infection. We show a drug class-effect with MEKi to promote immune responses involving NK cells, inhibit inflammatory cytokines and block host-factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection leading also to suppression of SARS-CoV-2-S pseudovirus infection of human cells in a model system. MEKi may attenuate coronavirus infection to allow immune responses and antiviral agents to control COVID-19 disease progression and severity.

    Abstract Observational studies may play an important role in evaluating physical activity (PA) as a cancer treatment; however, few studies have been designed, analyzed, or interpreted from a clinical oncology perspective. The purpose of the present paper is to apply the Exercise as Cancer Treatment (EXACT) Framework to assess current observational studies of PA and cancer outcomes from a clinical oncology perspective and provide recommendations to improve their clinical utility. Recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses of over 130 observational studies have concluded that higher prediagnosis and postdiagnosis PA are associated with lower risks of cancer-specific and all-cause mortality. Most of these studies, however, have: (a) included cancer patients receiving heterogeneous treatment protocols, (b) provided minimal details about those cancer treatments, (c) assessed PA prediagnosis and/or postdiagnosis without reference to those cancer treatments, (d) reported mainly mortality outcomes, and (e) examined subgroups based on demographic and disease variables but not cancer treatments. As a result, current observational studies on PA and cancer outcomes have played a modest role in informing clinical exercise trials and clinical oncology practice. To improve their clinical utility, we recommend that future observational studies of PA and cancer outcomes: (a) recruit cancer patients receiving the same or similar first-line treatment protocols, (b) collect detailed data on all planned and unplanned cancer treatments beyond whether or not cancer treatments were received, (c) assess PA in relation to cancer treatments (i.e., before, during, between, after) rather than in relation to the cancer diagnosis (i.e., various time periods before and after diagnosis), (d) collect data on cancer-specific outcomes (e.g., disease response, progression, recurrence) in addition to mortality, (e) conduct subgroup analyses based on cancer treatments received in addition to demographic and disease variables, and (f) interpret mechanisms for any associations between PA and cancer-specific outcomes based on the clinical oncology scenario that is recapitulated rather than referencing generic mechanisms or discordant preclinical models. In conclusion, observational studies are well-suited to contribute important knowledge regarding the role of PA as a cancer treatment; however, modifications to study design and analysis are necessary if they are to inform clinical research and practice.

    Abstract Exercise has been proposed as a possible cancer treatment; however, there are an infinite number of clinical oncology settings involving diverse cancer types and treatment protocols in which exercise could be tested as a cancer treatment. The primary purpose of this paper is to propose a conceptual framework to organize and guide research on exercise as a cancer treatment across distinct clinical oncology settings. A secondary purpose is to provide an overview of existing exercise research using the proposed framework. The Exercise as Cancer Treatment (EXACT) framework proposes nine distinct clinical oncology scenarios based on tumor/disease status and treatment status at the time of the proposed exercise treatment. In terms of tumor/disease status, the primary tumor has either been surgically removed (primary goal to treat micrometastases), not surgically removed (primary goal to treat the primary tumor), or metastatic disease is present (primary goal to treat metastatic disease). In terms of treatment status, the extant disease has either not been treated yet (treatment naïve), is currently being treated (active treatment), or has previously been treated. These two key clinical oncology variables-tumor/disease status and treatment status-result in nine distinct clinical oncology scenarios in which exercise could be tested as a new cancer treatment: (a) treatment naïve micrometastases, (b) actively treated micrometastases, (c) previously treated micrometastases, (d) treatment naïve primary tumors, (e) actively treated primary tumors, (f) previously treated primary tumors, (g) treatment naïve metastatic disease, (h) actively treated metastatic disease, and (i) previously treated metastatic disease. To date, most preclinical animal studies have examined the effects of exercise on treatment naïve and actively treated primary tumors. Conversely, most observational human studies have examined the associations between exercise and cancer recurrence/survival in patients actively treated or previously treated for micrometastases. Few clinical trials have been conducted in any of these scenarios. For exercise to be integrated into clinical oncology practice as a cancer treatment, it will need to demonstrate benefit in a specific clinical setting. The EXACT framework provides a simple taxonomy for systematically evaluating exercise as a potential cancer treatment across a diverse range of cancer types and treatment protocols.

    Abstract Background: Reduction mammaplasty pathologic specimens can reveal incidentally found proliferative lesions. However, there is a lack of data investigating the comparative incidences and risk factors for such lesions.
    Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of all consecutively performed reduction mammaplasty cases at a single large academic medical institution in a metropolitan city by two plastic surgeons over a 2-year period. All reduction mammaplasties, symmetrizing reductions, and oncoplastic reductions performed were included. There were no exclusion criteria.
    Results: A total of 632 breasts were analyzed-502 reduction mammaplasties, 85 symmetrizing reductions, and 45 oncoplastic reductions-in 342 patients. Mean age was 43.9 ± 15.9 years, mean body mass index was 29.2 ± 5.7 kg/m 2 , and mean reduction weight was 610.0 ± 313.1 g. Patients who underwent reduction mammaplasty for benign macromastia had a significantly lower incidence (3.6%) of incidentally found breast cancers and proliferative lesions compared with patients with oncoplastic reductions (13.3%) and symmetrizing reductions (17.6%) ( P < 0.001). On univariate analysis, personal history of breast cancer ( P < 0.001), first-degree family history of breast cancer ( P = 0.008), age ( P < 0.001), and tobacco use ( P = 0.033) were all statistically significant risk factors. Using a backward elimination stepwise reduced multivariable logistic regression model for risk factors associated with breast cancer or proliferative lesions, age ( P < 0.001) was the only retained significant risk factor.
    Conclusions: Proliferative lesions and carcinomas of the breast found in reduction mammaplasty pathologic specimens may be more common than previously reported. The incidence of newly found proliferative lesions was significantly lower in cases of benign macromastia compared with oncoplastic and symmetrizing reductions.
