Abstract
PURPOSE Research supports physical activity as a method to heighten stress resistance and resilience through positive metabolic alterations mostly affecting the neuroendocrine system. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been proposed as a highly effective time-saving method to induce those changes. However, existing literature relies heavily on cross-sectional analyses, with few randomised controlled trials highlighting the necessity for more exercise interventions. Thus, this study aims to investigate the effects of HIIT versus an active control group on the stress response to an acute psychosocial stressor in emotionally impulsive humans (suggested as being strong stress responders). METHODS The study protocol was registered online (DRKS00016589) before data collection. Sedentary, emotionally impulsive adults (30.69 ± 8.20 y) were recruited for a supervised intervention of 8 weeks and randomly allocated to either a HIIT (n = 25) or a stretching group (n = 19, acting as active controls). Participants were submitted to a test battery, including saliva samples, questionnaires (self-efficacy- and perceived stress-related), visual analogue scales (physical exercise- and stress-related), and resting electroencephalography and electrocardiography assessing their reaction to an acute psychological stressor (Trier Social Stress Test) before and after the exercise intervention. RESULTS HIIT increased aerobic fitness in all participants, whereas stretching did not. Participants from the HIIT group reported perceiving exercising more intensively than those from the active control group (ƞp2 = 0.108, p = 0.038). No further group differences were detected. Both interventions largely increased levels of joy post-TSST (ƞp2 = 0.209, p = 0.003) whilst decreasing tension (ƞp2 = 0.262, p < 0.001) and worries (ƞp2 = 0.113, p = 0.037). Finally, both interventions largely increased perceived levels of general self-efficacy (ƞp2 = 0.120, p = 0.029). CONCLUSION This study suggests that 8 weeks of HIIT does not change the psychoneuroendocrine response to an acute psychological stress test compared to an active control group in emotionally impulsive humans. Further replications of supervised exercise studies highly powered with active and passive controls are warranted.

Abstract
Functional reprograming of cells is linked to a process of metabolic rewiring that is adapted for such new functions or microenvironment. Macrophages are present in all tissues and exposed to different microenvironments throughout our body. Profiling energetic metabolism of tissue resident and other heterogeneous populations of macrophages in vitro and ex vivo is technologically very challenging. We have recently developed a method to functionally profile energetic metabolism with single-cell resolution, named SCENITH. This method can be performed rapidly ex vivo and does not require specialized equipment. In this book chapter, we will summarize the tissue processing, the procedure and methods, the analysis and example of results, and a series of frequently asked questions.

Abstract
The intestinal epithelium has a high turnover rate and constantly renews itself through proliferation of intestinal crypt cells, which depends on insufficiently characterized signals from the microenvironment. Here, we showed that colonic macrophages were located directly adjacent to epithelial crypt cells in mice, where they metabolically supported epithelial cell proliferation in an mTORC1-dependent manner. Specifically, deletion of tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (Tsc2) in macrophages activated mTORC1 signaling that protected against colitis-induced intestinal damage and induced the synthesis of the polyamines spermidine and spermine. Epithelial cells ingested these polyamines and rewired their cellular metabolism to optimize proliferation and defense. Notably, spermine directly stimulated proliferation of colon epithelial cells and colon organoids. Genetic interference with polyamine production in macrophages altered global polyamine levels in the colon and modified epithelial cell proliferation. Our results suggest that macrophages act as "commensals" that provide metabolic support to promote efficient self-renewal of the colon epithelium.

Abstract
Macrophages within the tumor microenvironment of solid tumors and metastasis are heterogeneous populations, which contribute to diverse steps of tumorigenesis. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) can either derive from circulation-derived monocytes or tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs). In health, TRMs populate the majority of tissues, orchestrating critical homeostatic and reparative functions. While TRM-specific functions in tumor initiation and progression remain unclear, recent studies have revealed that TRMs are a significant source of TAMs in both mouse and human cancers, where they closely resemble gene signatures of their normal, organ-specific TRM counterparts. In this review, we highlight recent advances toward systematically understanding the role of TRMs as an important TAM subset and opportunities how this macrophage population could be exploited for therapeutical targeting strategies.

Abstract
Dysphagia is a clinically relevant problem in Parkinson's disease as well as in atypical Parkinsonian syndromes, such as multiple system atrophy and diseases from the spectrum of 4‑repeat tauopathies, which affect most patients to a varying degree in the course of their disease. This results in relevant restrictions in daily life due to impaired intake of food, fluids, and medication with a subsequent reduction in quality of life. This article not only gives an overview of the pathophysiological causes of dysphagia in the various Parkinson syndromes, but also presents screening, diagnostic and treatment procedures that have been investigated for the different diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no clear consensus on the optimal systemic treatment regimen in combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA) patients. We describe clinical characteristics and outcome of cHCC-CCA patients, with a special focus on patients receiving palliative systemic therapy, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). METHODS In this European retrospective, multicenter study, patients with histologically proven cHCC-CCA treated at four institutions between April 2003 and June 2022 were included. In patients receiving palliative systemic therapy, outcome was compared between cytotoxic chemotherapy (CHT)- and non-cytotoxic CHT (nCHT)-treated patients. RESULTS Of 101 patients, the majority were male (n = 70, 69%) with a mean age of 64.6 ± 10.6 years. Only type of first-line treatment was independently associated with overall survival (OS). Palliative systemic therapy was administered to 44 (44%) patients. Of those, 25 (57%) patients received CHT and 19 (43%) had nCHT (n = 16 of them sorafenib) in systemic first line. Although there was no significant difference in overall response rate (ORR; CHT versus nCHT: 8% versus 5%), disease control rate (24% versus 21%), and median progression-free survival {3.0 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.4-4.6 months] versus 3.2 months (95% CI 2.8-3.6 months), P = 0.725}, there was a trend towards longer median OS in the CHT group [15.5 months (95% CI 8.0-23.0 months) versus 5.3 months (95% CI 0-12.5 months), P = 0.052]. However, in multivariable analysis, type of first-line regimen (CHT versus sorafenib) was not associated with OS. ORR in patients receiving ICIs (n = 7) was 29%. CONCLUSIONS In patients with cHCC-CCA, OS, progression-free survival, ORR, and disease control rate were not significantly different between individuals receiving CHT and patients receiving nCHT. Immunotherapy may be effective in a subset of patients. Prospective studies are needed to identify optimal systemic treatment regimens in cHCC-CCA.

Abstract
During human pregnancy, placenta-derived extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) invade the decidua and communicate with maternal immune cells. The decidua distinguishes into basalis (decB) and parietalis (decP). The latter remains unaffected by EVT invasion. By defining a specific gating strategy, we report the accumulation of macrophages in decB. We describe a decidua basalis-associated macrophage (decBAM) population with a differential transcriptome and secretome compared with decidua parietalis-associated macrophages (decPAMs). decBAMs are CD11chi and efficient inducers of Tregs, proliferate in situ, and secrete high levels of CXCL1, CXCL5, M-CSF, and IL-10. In contrast, decPAMs exert a dendritic cell-like, motile phenotype characterized by induced expression of HLA class II molecules, enhanced phagocytosis, and the ability to activate T cells. Strikingly, EVT-conditioned media convert decPAMs into a decBAM phenotype. These findings assign distinct macrophage phenotypes to decidual areas depending on placentation and further highlight a critical role for EVTs in the induction of decB-associated macrophage polarization.

Pan-tumor landscape of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1-4 genomic alterations. ESMO Open 2022; 7:100641.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 1-4 genomic alterations are in development or have been approved for FGFR-altered cancers (e.g. bladder cancer and advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma). Understanding FGFR inhibitor-resistance mechanisms is increasingly relevant; we surveyed the pan-tumor landscape of FGFR1-4 genomic alterations [short variants (SVs), gene rearrangements (REs), and copy number alterations (CNAs)], including their association with tumor mutational burden (TMB) and the genomic comutational landscape. PATIENTS AND METHODS Comprehensive genomic profiling of 355 813 solid tumor clinical cases was performed using the FoundationOne and FoundationOne CDx assays (Foundation Medicine, Inc.) to identify genomic alterations in >300 cancer-associated genes and TMB (determined on ≤1.1 megabases of sequenced DNA). RESULTS FGFR1-4 SVs and REs occurred in 9603/355 813 (2.7%), and CNAs in 15 078/355 813 (4.2%) samples. Most common FGFR alterations for bladder cancer, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and glioma were FGFR3 SVs (1051/7739, 13.6%), FGFR2 REs (618/6641, 9.3%), and FGFR1 SVs (239/11 550, 2.1%), respectively. We found several, potentially clinically relevant, tumor-specific associations between FGFR1-4 genomic alterations and other genomic markers. FGFR3 SV-altered bladder cancers and FGFR1 SV-altered gliomas were significantly less likely to be TMB-high versus unaltered samples. FGFR3 SVs in bladder cancer significantly co-occurred with TERT and CDKN2A/B alterations; TP53 and RB1 alterations were mutually exclusive. In intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, FGFR2 REs significantly co-occurred with BAP1 alterations, whereas KRAS, TP53, IDH1, and ARID1A alterations were mutually exclusive. FGFR1 SVs in gliomas significantly co-occurred with H3-3A and PTPN11 alterations, but were mutually exclusive with TERT, EGFR, TP53, and CDKN2A/B alterations. CONCLUSIONS Overall, our hypothesis-generating findings may help to stratify patients in clinical trials and guide optimal targeted therapy in those with FGFR alterations.

Abstract
By their capacity to induce peripheral T cell tolerance, dendritic cells (DCs) present a promising target cell and therapeutic strategy for treatment of several autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis (MS). This protocol describes how to determine the tolerogenic capacities of DCs in the context of the murine MS model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). We provide a step-by-step instruction for EAE induction, antigen-loaded bone-marrow-derived-DC (BM-DC) generation, adoptive cell transfer, and analysis of DC-mediated changes in regulatory T cell populations. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Vogel et al. (2022).

Abstract
Aberrant innate immune responses to the gut microbiota are causally involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The exact triggers and main signaling pathways activating innate immune cells and how they modulate adaptive immunity in IBD is still not completely understood. Here, we report that the PI3K/PTEN signaling pathway in dendritic cells enhances IL-6 production in a model of DSS-induced colitis. This results in exacerbated Th1 cell responses and increased mortality in DC-specific PTEN knockout (PTENΔDC) animals. Depletion of the gut microbiota using antibiotics as well as blocking IL-6R signaling rescued mortality in PTENΔDC mice, whereas adoptive transfer of Flt3L-derived PTEN-/- DCs into WT recipients exacerbated DSS-induced colitis and increased mortality. Taken together, we show that the PI3K signaling pathway in dendritic cells contributes to disease pathology by promoting IL-6 mediated Th1 responses.

Janus Kinase 1 (JAK1) transduces cytokine-receptor signaling, and JAK inhibitors (Jakinibs), including JAK1-specific filgotinib, break inflammatory cycles in autoimmunity. Here, we report in heterogeneous DC populations of multiple secondary lymphoid organs that JAK1 promotes peripheral T cell tolerance during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Mice harboring DC-specific JAK1 deletion exhibit elevated peripheral CD4+ T cell expansion, less regulatory T cells (Tregs), and worse EAE outcomes, whereas adoptive DC transfer ameliorates EAE pathogenesis by inducing peripheral Tregs, programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) dependently. This tolerogenic program is substantially reduced upon the transfer of JAK1-deficient DCs. DC-intrinsic IFN-γ-JAK1-STAT1 signaling induces PD-L1, which is required for DCs to convert CD4+ T cells into Tregs in vitro and attenuated upon JAK1 deficiency and filgotinib treatment. Thus, DC-intrinsic JAK1 promotes peripheral tolerance, suggesting potential unwarranted DC-mediated effects of Jakinibs in autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Macrophages are professional phagocytes, indispensable for maintenance of tissue homeostasis and integrity. Depending on their resident tissue, macrophages are exposed to highly diverse metabolic environments. Adapted to their niche, they can contribute to local metabolic turnover through metabolite uptake, conversion, storage and release. Disturbances in tissue homeostasis caused by infection, inflammation or damage dramatically alter the local milieu, impacting macrophage activation status and metabolism. In the case of persisting stimuli, defective macrophage responses ensue, which can promote tissue damage and disease. Especially relevant herein are disbalances in lipid rich environments, where macrophages are crucially involved in lipid uptake and turnover, preventing lipotoxicity. Lipid uptake is to a large extent facilitated by macrophage expressed scavenger receptors that are dynamically regulated and important in many metabolic diseases. Here, we review the receptors mediating lipid uptake and summarize recent findings on their role in health and disease. We further highlight the underlying pathways driving macrophage lipid acquisition and their impact on myeloid metabolic remodelling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Approvals of cancer therapeutics are primarily disease entity specific. Current molecular diagnostic approaches frequently identify actionable alterations in rare cancers or rare subtypes of common cancers for which the corresponding treatments are not approved and unavailable within clinical trials due to entity-related eligibility criteria. Access may be negotiated with health insurances. However, approval rates vary, and critical information required for a scientific evaluation of treatment-associated risks and benefits is not systematically collected. Thus clinical trials with optimized patient selection and comprehensive molecular characterization are essential for translating experimental treatments into standard care. PATIENTS AND METHODS Continuous ReAssessment with Flexible ExTension in Rare Malignancies (CRAFT) is an open-label phase II trial for adults with pretreated, locally advanced, or metastatic solid tumors. Based on the evaluation by a molecular tumor board, patients are assigned to combinations of six molecularly targeted agents and a programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) antagonist within seven study arms focusing on (i) BRAF V600 mutations; (ii) ERBB2 amplification and/or overexpression, activating ERBB2 mutations; (iii) ALK rearrangements, activating ALK mutations; (iv and v) activating PIK3CA and AKT mutations, other aberrations predicting increased PI3K-AKT pathway activity; (vi) aberrations predicting increased RAF-MEK-ERK pathway activity; (vii) high tumor mutational burden and other alterations predicting sensitivity to PD-L1 inhibition. The primary endpoint is the disease control rate (DCR) at week 16; secondary and exploratory endpoints include the progression-free survival ratio, overall survival, and patient-reported outcomes. Using Simon's optimal two-stage design, 14 patients are accrued for each study arm. If three or fewer patients achieve disease control, the study arm is stopped. Otherwise, 11 additional patients are accrued. If the DCR exceeds 7 of 25 patients, the null hypothesis is rejected for the respective study arm. CONCLUSIONS CRAFT was activated in October 2021 and will recruit at 10 centers in Germany. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBERS EudraCT: 2019-003192-18; ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04551521.

Abstract
Obesity-induced white adipose tissue (WAT) hypertrophy is associated with elevated adipose tissue macrophage (ATM) content. Overexpression of the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) reportedly increases adiposity, worsening health. Paradoxically, using insulin resistance, elevated fat mass, and hypercholesterolemia as hallmarks of unhealthy obesity, a recent report demonstrated that ATM-expressed TREM2 promoted health. Here, we identified that in mice, TREM2 deficiency aggravated diet-induced insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis independently of fat and cholesterol levels. Metabolomics linked TREM2 deficiency with elevated obesity-instigated serum ceramides that correlated with impaired insulin sensitivity. Remarkably, while inhibiting ceramide synthesis exerted no influences on TREM2-dependent ATM remodeling, inflammation, or lipid load, it restored insulin tolerance, reversing adipose hypertrophy and secondary hepatic steatosis of TREM2-deficient animals. Bone marrow transplantation experiments revealed unremarkable influences of immune cell-expressed TREM2 on health, instead demonstrating that WAT-intrinsic mechanisms impinging on sphingolipid metabolism dominate in the systemic protective effects of TREM2 on metabolic health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent and aggressive cancer usually arising on a background of chronic liver injury involving inflammatory and hepatic regenerative processes. The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM-2) is predominantly expressed in hepatic non-parenchymal cells and inhibits Toll-like receptor signalling, protecting the liver from various hepatotoxic injuries, yet its role in liver cancer is poorly defined. Here, we investigated the impact of TREM-2 on liver regeneration and hepatocarcinogenesis. DESIGN TREM-2 expression was analysed in liver tissues of two independent cohorts of patients with HCC and compared with control liver samples. Experimental HCC and liver regeneration models in wild type and Trem-2-/- mice, and in vitro studies with hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and HCC spheroids were conducted. RESULTS TREM-2 expression was upregulated in human HCC tissue, in mouse models of liver regeneration and HCC. Trem-2-/- mice developed more liver tumours irrespective of size after diethylnitrosamine (DEN) administration, displayed exacerbated liver damage, inflammation, oxidative stress and hepatocyte proliferation. Administering an antioxidant diet blocked DEN-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in both genotypes. Similarly, Trem-2-/- animals developed more and larger tumours in fibrosis-associated HCC models. Trem-2-/- livers showed increased hepatocyte proliferation and inflammation after partial hepatectomy. Conditioned media from human HSCs overexpressing TREM-2 inhibited human HCC spheroid growth in vitro through attenuated Wnt ligand secretion. CONCLUSION TREM-2 plays a protective role in hepatocarcinogenesis via different pleiotropic effects, suggesting that TREM-2 agonism should be investigated as it might beneficially impact HCC pathogenesis in a multifactorial manner.

Abstract
Healthcare-associated infections are a major issue in public health. After several decades of hand hygiene programmes, it is time to admit that we have failed to achieve our goal. One of the reasons is the overuse of gloves, which is in part justified by the nature of the nursing care. Several experimental studies supported the effectiveness of disinfecting gloves, but evidence for routine feasibility and effectiveness is lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of alcohol-based disinfection of gloves during nursing care. Swabs were taken from the most contaminated part of both hands at different times: T0 (before wearing gloves), T10 (after 10 minutes of nursing care) from both gloves, T10A (just after the gloves were disinfected for 30 seconds with bedside disposable hydroalcoholic solution) and when possible at T20 and T20A. After 10 minutes of nursing care, gloves were contaminated in 72.5% of cases. After alcohol-based disinfection, gloves became free of microorganism in 79.3% of cases. Alcohol-based disinfection of gloves during routine care is effective and appears to be a reasonable alternative to current recommendations.

The PI3K pathway preserves metabolic health through MARCO-dependent lipid uptake by adipose tissue macrophages. Nat Metab 2020; 2:1427-1442.

Abstract
Adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) display tremendous heterogeneity depending on signals in their local microenvironment and contribute to the pathogenesis of obesity. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signalling pathway, antagonized by the phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN), is important for metabolic responses to obesity. We hypothesized that fluctuations in macrophage-intrinsic PI3K activity via PTEN could alter the trajectory of metabolic disease by driving distinct ATM populations. Using mice harbouring macrophage-specific PTEN deletion or bone marrow chimeras carrying additional PTEN copies, we demonstrate that sustained PI3K activity in macrophages preserves metabolic health in obesity by preventing lipotoxicity. Myeloid PI3K signalling promotes a beneficial ATM population characterized by lipid uptake, catabolism and high expression of the scavenger macrophage receptor with collagenous structure (MARCO). Dual MARCO and myeloid PTEN deficiencies prevent the generation of lipid-buffering ATMs, reversing the beneficial actions of elevated myeloid PI3K activity in metabolic disease. Thus, macrophage-intrinsic PI3K signalling boosts metabolic health by driving ATM programmes associated with MARCO-dependent lipid uptake.

Percutaneous isolated hepatic perfusion (chemosaturation) with melphalan following right hemihepatectomy in patients with cholangiocarcinoma and metastatic uveal melanoma: peri- and post-interventional adverse events and therapy response compared to a matched group without prior liver surgery.

Abstract
To evaluate feasibility, frequency and severity of peri-procedural complications and post-procedural adverse events (AEs) in patients with advanced cholangiocarcinoma or liver metastasis of uveal melanoma and prior hemihepatectomy undergoing chemosaturation percutaneous hepatic perfusion (CS-PHP) and to analyze therapy response and overall survival compared to a matched group without prior surgery. CS-PHP performed between 10/2014 and 02/2018 were retrospectively assessed. To determine peri-procedural safety and post-procedural adverse events, hospital records and hematological, hepatic and biliary function were categorized using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 (1–5; mild-death). Significance was tested using Wilcoxon signed-rank and Mann–Whitney U test. Kaplan–Meier estimation and log-rank test assessed survival. Overall 21 CS-PHP in seven patients (4/7 males; 52 ± 10 years) with hemihepatectomy (grouphemihep) and 22 CS-PHP in seven patients (3/7 males; 63 ± 12 years) without prior surgery (groupnoresection) were included. No complications occurred during the CS-PHP procedures. Transient changes (CTCAE grade 1–2) of liver enzymes and blood cells followed all procedures. In comparison, grouphemihep presented slightly more AEs grade 3–4 (e.g. thrombocytopenia in 57% (12/21) vs. 41% (9/22; p = 0.37)) 5–7 days after CS-PHP. These AEs were self-limiting or responsive to treatment (insignificant difference of pre-interventional to 21–45 days post-interventional values (p > 0.05)). One patient in grouphemihep with high tumor burden died eight days following CS-PHP. No deaths occurred in groupnoresection. In comparison, overall survival after first diagnosis was insignificantly shorter in groupnoresection (44.7(32–56.1) months) than in grouphemihep (48.3(34.6–72.8) months; p = 0.48). The severity of adverse events following CS-PHP in patients after hemihepatectomy was comparable to a matched group without prior liver surgery. Thus, the performance of CS-PHP is not substantially compromised by a prior hemihepatectomy.
