Epidemiological, demographic, and clinical characteristics differ between children with HL from developing and developed countries. Administration of OEPA/COPDAC in low-middle-income countries (LMIC) has been associated with high treatment-related mortality (TRM), hindering its wide adoption. In this comprehensive analysis, we evaluated OEPA/COPDAC-associated adverse events and their impact on treatment delivery in 301 Egyptian patients with pediatric HL aged 2.5–17.9 years. The mean age at presentation was 10.1 years (72% of patients ≤ 13 years) with a male-to-female ratio of 2.6:1. The three treatment groups (TG) were represented. Nodular Sclerosis classic HL (59.8%) represented the most common histopathological subtype. Adverse events were reported during 49.8% of the administered cycles. Eighty-nine and 76.4% of the patients encountered toxicity during OEPA1 and OEPA2 cycles respectively. The frequency of toxicity during COPDAC cycles ranged from 16% to 29.4%. Grade 3/4 decreased neutrophils were the most commonly occurring AE during OEPA cycles (range 71%–85%). Profound neutropenia occurred in 27.9% and 13.8% during OEPA1 and OEPA2 respectively. Profound neutropenia significantly differed across age groups. Treatment-related mortality (TRM) occurred in 1% of the patients. Ninety-eight percent of the scheduled chemotherapy cycles were successfully administered. Treatment modification due to toxicity was required in 9.3% of patients whereas 121 hospital admissions (891 days) were reported. Recurrent toxicity that is, toxicity in &gt; 50% of administered cycles and consequently hospital admission significantly differed across age groups. Our findings support that low TRM is achievable in LMIC centers with adequate infrastructure and treatment capabilities. We additionally provide real-life data on the associated treatment modification and hospital admission.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":12882,"journal":{"name":"Hematological Oncology","volume":"43 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143497006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ferroptosis is a novel form of cell death involved in multiple tumor development. However, the relationship between ferroptosis-related genes and DLBCL has not been extensively studied. The GSE95290 dataset was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and merged with genes associated with ferroptosis to screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Hub genes were identified by constructing a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. The messenger RNA (mRNA) expressions of hub genes were subsequently detected in vitro using reverse transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The impact of voltage dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) on the proliferation, apoptosis, and ferroptosis of DLBCL was evaluated using Cell Counting Kit-8, flow cytometry, and relevant ferroptosis assays, respectively. Six highly expressed hub genes were identified, all of which could be used as diagnostic biomarkers for DLBCL. In vitro studies revealed that suppressing VDAC1 expression inhibited DLBCL cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis. Furthermore, knockdown of VDAC1 promoted ferroptosis in DLBCL cells and xenograft tumor models, resulting in elevated levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and iron and increased protein levels of Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family 4 (ACSL4) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2). Conversely, glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were reduced, accompanied by decreased protein levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and ferritin heavy chain1 (FTH1). VDAC1 knockdown induces ferroptosis in DLBCL, which provides new insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of DLBCL.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":12882,"journal":{"name":"Hematological Oncology","volume":"43 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143466204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inverse variance weighted (IVW) method and Bonferroni multiple correction were utilized to assess the causal associations of GM species with different kinds of lymphoma. The effect size was expressed by odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Reverse causal association analysis has also been performed. Additionally, scatter plots and leave-one-out test were conducted for sensitivity analysis. After correction, the IVW estimates suggested that elevated relative abundance of species <i>Faecalibacterium_prausnitzii</i> had a negatively causal association with increased odds of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) (OR = 0.584, 95% CI: 0.516–0.662).
