HLA-DMB, the beta chain of the non-classical MHC class II protein HLA-DM, has been implicated in the progression of various cancers.

The differential expression of HLA-DMB across various cancers, along with immune infiltration analysis, was conducted using the TIMER2.0 database. Additionally, the expression of HLA-DMB in endometrial carcinoma was examined in the GEPIA2 database, along with its relationship to prognosis. Furthermore, TISIDB was utilized to predict the relationships between HLA-DMB and various immune enhancement factors as well as immunosuppressive factors. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) were employed to explore the signaling pathways associated with HLA-DMB in endometrial cancer. Univariate COX regression analysis was performed to identify prognostic factors for endometrial carcinoma (EC), and a multivariate COX proportional hazards regression model was used to confirm that HLA-DMB can serve as an independent prognostic factor for EC. The protein interaction network of HLA-DMB was constructed using the STRING database, and the chemical drugs related to HLA-DMB were predicted through the CTD database.

Furthermore, in endometrial cancer, elevated levels of HLA-DMB are associated with higher immune infiltration scores and are closely related to various immune-enhancing factors. Mechanistically, HLA-DMB primarily participates in CD22-mediated regulation of B cell receptors (BCR), leading to BCR antigen activation and the production of second messengers.

Compared with IMRT, VMAT significantly reduced the D&lt;sub&gt;max&lt;/sub&gt; to the left and right eyes (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.001) and significantly increased the D&lt;sub&gt;max&lt;/sub&gt; to the right inner ear (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt;=0.010). There was no significant difference in the D&lt;sub&gt;max&lt;/sub&gt; to the left inner ear between VMAT and IMRT (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt;=0.458). Compared with IMRT, VMAT significantly reduced the D&lt;sub&gt;max&lt;/sub&gt; to the left optic nerve (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt;=0.006), but significantly increased the D&lt;sub&gt;max&lt;/sub&gt; to the right optic nerve (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt;=0.001). There was no significant difference in the D&lt;sub&gt;max&lt;/sub&gt; to the left and right hippocampus between VMAT and IMRT (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt;&gt;0.05), but VMAT significantly increased the D&lt;sub&gt;100%&lt;/sub&gt; (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.05) compared with IMRT. Compared with VMAT, IMRT significantly reduced the MU (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.001) but VMAT has a higher treatment efficiency than IMRT, with an average reduction of 41 seconds (294.1 ± 16.4 s for VMAT, 335.8 ± 34.9 s for IMRT, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.001). Under the conditions of 3%/2 mm, and 2%/2 mm, the gamma passing rate of the IMRT QA was improved compared to VMAT, with an average increase of 0.6%, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt;=0.013, and 1.7%, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.001, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Both non-coplanar VMAT and non-coplanar fixed field IMRT based on the Monaco TPS produce clinically acceptable results for HA-WBRT+SIB in patients with brain metastases.

It may be confusing as its manifestations of multifocal lesions on imaging and epithelial histomorphology in pathology. EHE is easy to be mistaken for a metastatic tumor by radiologists and clinicians. Correct diagnosis and therapy are important owing to the variable clinical course and special treatment. EHEs harbor major <i>CAMTA1</i> rearrangement and <5% <i>TFE3</i> rearrangement. Meanwhile, EHE with <i>TFE3</i> rearrangement has distinctive morphology features. Currently, there are only two cases of hepatic EHE with <i>TFE3</i> rearrangement reported, we present another case here that occurred in a 34-year-old female. Both the clinician and radiologist provisionally considered it as a metastatic tumor. The tumor cells have mild atypia but infiltrative growth patterns like benign vascular tumors. Our case is unique mainly in that the absence of its characteristic well-defined vessels, and the presence of unreported morphology of intraluminal papillary proliferation of tombstone or hobnail endothelial cells. The final diagnosis of EHE with <i>TFE3</i> rearrangement was made by combining morphological, immunohistochemical, and molecular test results. The patient did not receive any treatment according to her condition and no change was detected in the mass's size and number on CT images during 3.5 years of follow-up.</p>","PeriodicalId":12482,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Oncology","volume":"15 ","pages":"1442233"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11799294/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143364314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
