    Abstract Enzyme-linked immune absorbent spot (Elispot) is a quantitative method for measuring relevant parameters of T-cell activation. The sensitivity of Elispot allows the detection of low-frequency antigen-specific T-cells that secrete cytokines and effector molecules, such as granzyme B and perforin. Cytotoxic T-cell (CTL) studies have taken advantage with this high-throughput technology by providing insights of quantity and immune kinetics. Accuracy, sensitivity, reproducibility, and robustness of Elispot resulted in a wide range of applications in research as well as in diagnostic field. Actually, CTL monitoring by Elispot is a gold standard for the evaluation of antigen-specific T-cell immunity in clinical trials and vaccine candidates where the ability to detect rare antigen-specific T-cells is of relevance for immune diagnostic. The most utilized Elispot assay is the Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) test, a marker for CD8

    Abstract Introduction Comparison of the marker kinetics procalcitonin, presepsin and endotoxin during extracorporeal hemoperfusion with polymyxin B adsorbing cartridge (PMX-HA) have never been described in abdominal sepsis. We aim to compare the trend of three biomarkers in septic post-surgical abdominal patients in Intensive care Unit (ICU) treated with PMX-HA and their prognostic value. Methods Ninety abdominal postsurgical patients were enrolled into different groups according to the evidence of postoperative sepsis or not. Non-septic patients admitted in the surgical ward were included in C group (control group). ICU septic shock patients with endotoxin levels <0.6 EAA receiving conventional therapy were addressed in S group and those with endotoxin levels ≥0.6 EAA receiving treatment with PMX-HA, besides conventional therapy, were included in SPB group. Presepsin, procalcitonin, endotoxin and other clinical data were recorded at 24h (T0), 72h (T1) and 7 days (T2) after surgery. Clinical follow-up was performed on day 30. Results SPB group showed reduced levels of the three biomarkers on T2 vs T0 (P<0.001); presepsin, procalcitonin and endotoxin levels decreased respectively of 25%, 11% and 2% on T1 vs T0, and of 40%, 41%, 26% on T2 vs T0. All patients in C group, 73% of patients in SPB group vs 37% of patients in S group survived at follow-up. Moreover, procalcitonin had the highest predictive value for mortality at 30 days, followed by presepsin. Conclusion The present study showed the reliability of presepsin in monitoring PMX-HA treatment in septic shock patients. Procalcitonin showed better predicting power for the mortality risk.

    Abstract One of the most dangerous aspects of cancer cell biology is their ability to grow, spread and form metastases in the main vital organs. The identification of dysregulated markers that drive intracellular signalling involved in the malignant transformation of neoplastic cells and the understanding of the mechanisms that regulate these processes is undoubtedly a key objective for the development of new and more targeted therapies. RAF-kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP) is an endogenous tumour suppressor protein that affects tumour cell survival, proliferation, and metastasis. RKIP might serve as an early tumour biomarker since it exhibits significantly different expression levels in various cancer histologies and it is often lost during metastatic progression. In this review, we discuss the specific impact of transcriptional, post-transcriptional and post-translational regulation of expression and activation/inhibition of RKIP and focus on those tumours for which experimental data on all these factors are available. In this way, we could select how these processes cooperate with RKIP expression in (1) Lung cancer; (2) Colon cancer, (3) Breast cancer; (4) myeloid neoplasm and Multiple Myeloma, (5) Melanoma and (6) clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma. Furthermore, since RKIP seems to be a key marker of the development of several tumours and it may be assessed easily in various biological fluids, here we discuss the potential role of RKIP dosing in more accessible biological matrices other than tissues. Moreover, this objective may intercept the still unmet need to identify new and more accurate markers for the early diagnosis and prognosis of many tumours.

    Abstract Protein-bound uremic toxins (PBUTs) are bioactive microbiota metabolites originated exclusively from protein fermentation of the bacterial community resident within the gut microbiota, whose composition and function is profoundly different in the chronic kidney disease (CKD) population. PBUTs accumulate in the later stages of CKD because they cannot be efficiently removed by conventional hemodialysis due to their high binding affinity for albumin, worsening their toxic effects, especially at the cardiovascular level. The accumulation of uremic toxins, along with oxidative stress products and pro-inflammatory cytokines, characterizes the uremic status of CKD patients which is increasingly associated to a state of immune dysfunction including both immune activation and immunodepression. Furthermore, the links between immune activation and cardiovascular disease (CVD), and between immunodepression and infection diseases, which are the two major complications of CKD, are becoming more and more evident. This review summarizes and discusses the current state of knowledge on the role of the main PBUTs, namely indoxyl sulfate and p-cresyl sulfate, as regulators of immune response in CKD, in order to understand whether a microbiota modulation may be useful in the management of its main complications, CVD, and infections. Summarizing the direct effects of PBUT on immune system we may conclude that PCS seemed to be associated to an immune deficiency status of CKD mainly related to the adaptative immune response, while IS seemed to reflect the activation of both innate and adaptative immune systems likely responsible of the CKD-associated inflammation. However, the exact role of IS and PCS on immunity modulation in physiological and pathological state still needs in-depth investigation, particularly in vivo studies.
