Abstract
In Japan, cutaneous adverse events (AEs) following the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination have been frequently described; however, a larger case series and literature review are lacking. There is an urgent need for an extensive investigation of new cases and previous reports to provide a thorough body of information about post-COVID-19 immunization cutaneous AEs. We aimed to analyze patients with cutaneous AEs after COVID-19 vaccination in our hospital and review previous studies of cutaneous AEs. We analyzed post-COVID-19 vaccination cutaneous AEs in our department, the Japanese Registry, and previous literature. We enrolled 30 patients with cutaneous post-vaccination AEs in our department over 2 years (April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2023). We also confirmed cases registered in the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare COVID-19 vaccine side effect reporting system (February 17, 2021-March 12, 2023). A total of 587 records were retrieved and 93 articles were included for data extraction. A total of 28 non-injection-site cutaneous AEs and two injection-site AEs were identified. Six (20.0%) patients developed new-onset erythematous eruptions, and five (16.7%) patients developed urticaria. Pruritic eruption, eczema, shingles, and sweating symptoms have also been reported. In previous studies on non-injection-site cutaneous AEs, individuals who received the BNT162b2 vaccine were older than those who received mRNA-1273 (P < 0.01). Cutaneous AEs were mostly nonsignificant and self-limiting reactions; however, rare, severe, or life-threatening AEs were also reported. Physicians should be aware of the various possible cutaneous AEs associated with the COVID-19 vaccination.

Abstract
Schnitzler syndrome (SchS) is a rare autoinflammatory disease characterized by bone pain, recurrent fever, leukocytosis, and elevated C-reactive protein, along with an urticaria-like rash and monoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig)M or IgG gammopathy. Notably, the condition is distinguished by a relatively persistent recurrent urticarial-like rash. Histopathological features observed in the skin comprise diffuse neutrophil infiltration into the dermis, absence of dermal edema, and vascular wall degeneration, all of which classify SchS as a neutrophilic urticarial dermatosis (NUD). Accumulated histological data from skin biopsies of patients with NUD have revealed a sensitive histopathological marker for NUD, acknowledged as neutrophilic epitheliotropism, which has been proposed as reflecting an autoinflammatory condition. In this report, we present three SchS patients: two men (ages 55 and 68) and a woman (age 75), all displaying neutrophilic epitheliotropism in their skin biopsy specimens. Additionally, a review of eight previously reported SchS cases in Japan identified neutrophilic epithliotropism in five cases. These findings suggest that the inclination of neutrophils toward the epithelial tissue could aid in confirming diagnoses of NUD in most cases that need to be differentiated from conventional urticaria. Consequently, we emphasize that acknowledging neutrophilic epithelial predilection as a hallmark of NUD is critical for expediting early diagnosis and appropriate treatment for SchS.

Abstract
Pain and itch are recognized as antagonistically regulated sensations; pain suppresses itch, whilst pain inhibition enhances itch. The neural mechanisms at the central nervous system (CNS) underlying these pain-itch interactions still need to be explored. Here, we revealed the contrasting role of orexin-producing neurons (ORX neurons) in the lateral hypothalamus (LH), which suppresses pain while enhancing itch neural processing, by applying optogenetics to the acute pruritus and pain model. We also revealed that the circuit of ORX neurons from LH to periaqueductal gray regions served in the contrasting modulation of itch and pain processing using optogenetic terminal inhibition techniques. Additionally, by using an atopic dermatitis model, we confirmed the involvement of ORX neurons in regulating chronic itch processing, which could lead to a novel therapeutic target for persistent pruritus in clinical settings. Our findings provide new insight into the mechanism of antagonistic regulation between pain and itch in the CNS.

Abstract
Resident epidermal T cells of murine skin, called dendritic epidermal T cells (DETCs), express an invariant γδ TCR that recognizes an unidentified self-ligand expressed on epidermal keratinocytes. Although their fetal thymic precursors are preprogrammed to produce IFN-γ, DETCs in the adult epidermis rapidly produce IL-13 but not IFN-γ early after activation. Here, we show that preprogrammed IFN-γ-producing DETC precursors differentiate into rapid IL-13 producers in the perinatal epidermis. The addition of various inhibitors of signaling pathways downstream of TCR to the in vitro differentiation model of neonatal DETCs revealed that TCR signaling through the p38 MAPK pathway is essential for the functional differentiation of neonatal DETCs. Constitutive TCR signaling at steady state was also shown to be needed for the maintenance of the rapid IL-13-producing capacity of adult DETCs because in vivo treatment with the p38 MAPK inhibitor decreased adult DETCs with the rapid IL-13-producing capacity. Adult DETCs under steady-state conditions had lower glycolytic capacity than proliferating neonatal DETCs. TCR stimulation of adult DETCs induced high glycolytic capacity and IFN-γ production during the late phase of activation. Inhibition of glycolysis decreased IFN-γ but not IL-13 production by adult DETCs during the late phase of activation. These results demonstrate that TCR signaling promotes the differentiation of IL-13-producing DETCs in the perinatal epidermis and is needed for maintaining the rapid IL-13-producing capacity of adult DETCs. The low glycolytic capacity of adult DETCs at steady state also regulates the rapid IL-13 response and delayed IFN-γ production after activation.

Abstract
The effects of long-term low-dose X-ray irradiation on the outer root sheath (ORS) cells of C3H/He mice were investigated. Mice were irradiated with a regime of 100 mGy/day, 5 days/week, for 12 weeks (Group X) and the results obtained were compared to those in a non-irradiated control (Group C). Potential protection against ORS cells damage induced by this exposure was investigated by adding the stable nitroxide radical 4-hydroxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPOL) at 1 mM to the drinking water of mice (Group X + TEMPOL). The results obtained were compared with Group C and a non-irradiated group treated with TEMPOL (Group C + TEMPOL). After fractionated X-ray irradiation, skin was removed and ORS cells were examined by hematoxylin and eosin staining and electron microscopy for an abnormal nuclear morphology and nuclear condensation changes. Fractionated X-irradiated mice had an increased number of ORS cells with an abnormal nuclear morphology as well as nuclear condensation changes. Sections were also immunohistochemically examined for the presence of TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL), 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), nitrotyrosine, heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), and protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5). Significant increases were observed in TUNEL, 8-OHdG, and 4-HNE levels in ORS cells from mice in Group X. Electron microscopy also showed irregular shrunken ORS cells in Group X. These changes were prevented by the presence of TEMPOL in the drinking water of the irradiated mice. TEMPOL alone had no significant effects. These results suggest that fractionated doses of radiation induced oxidative damage in ORS cells; however, TEMPOL provided protection against this damage, possibly as a result of the rapid reaction of this nitroxide radical with the reactive oxidants generated by fractionated X-ray irradiation.

Abstract
The pathological hallmark of psoriasis is the infiltration of neutrophils into the skin. Some neutrophil-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) serve as biomarkers for various diseases, but none have been reported for psoriasis. In this study, we investigated the involvement of miRNAs released from neutrophils in psoriasis pathogenesis. We compared the expression of miRNAs in the sera of patients with psoriasis with that in healthy individuals and found that the expression of 2 miRNAs-miR-223 and miR-1290-was significantly upregulated in the sera of patients with psoriasis. The serum levels of these miRNAs positively correlated with the PASI and CRP levels. We used all-trans retinoic acid to induce the differentiation of human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells into neutrophil-like cells and found that the release of both miRNAs increased during differentiation. Furthermore, the release of miR-1290 was increased by TNF-α in neutrophil-like cells and human neutrophils. Treatment with the miR-1290 precursor promoted the proliferation of human keratinocytes, increased the proportion of S-phase cells, and upregulated the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2. These results suggest that miR-1290 plays a vital role in regulating neutrophil differentiation and keratinocyte proliferation and could be a serum marker of psoriasis severity.

Abstract
Significance This review discusses the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pathophysiology in the context of diabetes and intracellular reactions by COVID-19, including mitochondrial oxidative stress storms, mitochondrial ROS storms, and long COVID. Recent advances The long COVID is suffered in ~10% of the COVID-19 patients. Even the virus does not exist, the patients suffer the long COVID for even over a year, This disease could be a mitochondria dysregulation disease. Critical issues Patients who recover from COVID-19 can develop new or persistent symptoms of multi-organ complications lasting weeks or months, called long COVID. The underlying mechanisms involved in the long COVID is still unclear. Once the symptoms of long COVID persist, they cause significant damage, leading to numerous, persistent symptoms. Future directions A comprehensive map of the stages and pathogenetic mechanisms related to long COVID and effective drugs to treat and prevent it are required, which will aid the development of future long COVID treatments and symptom relief.

Abstract
CD147/Basigin, a transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily, is a multifunctional molecule with various binding partners. CD147 binds to monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) and supports their expression on plasma membranes. MTC-1 and MCT-4 export the lactic acid that is converted from pyruvate in glycolysis to maintain the intracellular pH level and a stable metabolic state. Under physiological conditions, cellular energy production is induced by mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Glycolysis usually occurs under anaerobic conditions, whereas cancer cells depend on glycolysis under aerobic conditions. T cells also require glycolysis for differentiation, proliferation, and activation. Human malignant melanoma cells expressed higher levels of MCT-1 and MCT-4, co-localized with CD147 on the plasma membrane, and showed an increased glycolysis rate compared to normal human melanocytes. CD147 silencing by siRNA abrogated MCT-1 and MCT-4 membrane expression and disrupted glycolysis, inhibiting cancer cell activity. Furthermore, CD147 is involved in psoriasis. MCT-1 was absent on CD4+ T cells in CD147-deficient mice. The naïve CD4+ T cells from CD147-deficient mice exhibited a low capacity to differentiate into Th17 cells. Imiquimod-induced skin inflammation was significantly milder in the CD147-deficient mice than in the wild-type mice. Overall, CD147/Basigin is involved in the development of malignant tumors and T-cell-mediated immunological disorders via glycolysis regulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perforin (PRF), a pivotal cytotoxic effector molecule of activated CD8+ T cells, has a crucial role in the pathogenesis of vitiligo. However, the mechanisms leading to the abnormal perforin expression remain poorly understood in the CD8+ T cells of vitiligo patients. OBJECTIVE To investigate the contributions of DNA methylation to the abnormal expression of perforin in CD8+ T cells of vitiligo patients. METHODS Skin samples and CD8+ T cells from peripheral blood were collected to detect the expression levels of perforin in vitiligo patients. The methylation status of the perforin promoter was investigated by bisulfite sequencing. The apoptosis of melanocytes co-cultured with CD8+ T cells was evaluated to determinate the cytotoxic role of perforin. RESULTS Increased CD8+ and perforin+ cells were found in lesion of vitiligo patients. The expression levels of perforin were elevated in the CD8+ T cells from peripheral blood of vitiligo patients and their culture supernatants. The perforin promoter was hypomethylated in vitiligo CD8+ T cells. Treatment of normal CD8+ T cells with the DNA methylation inhibitor 5-Azacytidine (5-Azac) reduced the perforin methylation level and caused perforin overexpression. The methylation levels of perforin were inversely correlated with its mRNA expression in CD8+ T cells. The apoptosis rates of the melanocytes co-cultured with vitiligo- and 5-Azac-treated-normal CD8+ T cells were significantly increased compared with normal-untreated CD8+ T cells. And the apoptosis rates of melanocytes co-cultured with si-PRF-treated-vitiligo CD8+ T cells were significantly decreased compared with vitiligo-untreated CD8+ T cells. CONCLUSION Hypomethylation of the perforin promoter contributes to its overexpression in CD8+ T cells from vitiligo patients, which then mediates the melanocyte destruction in vitiligo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Schnitzler syndrome is a rare disorder with chronic urticaria, and there is no report summarizing the current status in Japan. METHODS A nationwide survey of major dermatology departments in Japan was conducted in 2019. We further performed a systematic search of PubMed and Ichushi-Web, using the keywords "Schnitzler syndrome" and "Japan" then contacted the corresponding authors or physicians for further information. RESULTS Excluding duplicates, a total of 36 clinically diagnosed cases were identified from 1994 through the spring of 2022, with a male to female ratio of 1:1. The median age of onset was 56.5 years. It took 3.3 years from the first symptom, mostly urticaria, to reach the final diagnosis. The current status of 30 cases was ascertained; two patients developed B-cell lymphoma. SchS treatment was generally effective with high doses of corticosteroids, but symptoms sometimes recurred after tapering. Colchicine was administered in 17 cases and was effective in 8, but showed no effect in the others. Tocilizumab, used in six cases, improved laboratory abnormalities and symptoms, but lost its efficacy after several years. Rituximab, used in five cases, was effective in reducing serum IgM levels or lymphoma mass, but not in inflammatory symptoms. Four cases were treated with IL-1 targeting therapy, either anakinra or canakinumab, and achieved complete remission, except one case with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. CONCLUSIONS Since Schnitzler syndrome is a rare disease, the continuous collection and long-term follow-up of clinical information is essential for its appropriate treatment and further understanding of its pathophysiology.

Abstract
Non-infectious pulmonary complications including idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS) and bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), which are clinical and diagnostic manifestations of lung chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), cause significant mortality after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Increasing evidence suggests that alloantigen reactions in lung tissue play a central role in the pathogenesis of IPS and BOS; however, the mechanism is not fully understood. Several clinical and experimental studies have reported that intra-bone marrow (IBM)-SCT provides high rates of engraftment and is associated with a low incidence of acute GVHD. In the present study, allogeneic SCT was conducted in mouse models of IPS and BOS, to compare intravenous (IV)-SCT with IBM-SCT. Allogeneic IBM-SCT improved the clinical and pathological outcomes of pulmonary complications compared to those of IV-SCT. The mechanisms underlying the reductions in pulmonary complications in IBM-SCT mice were explored. The infiltrating lung cells were mainly CD11b+ myeloid and CD3+ T cells, in the same proportions as in transplanted donor cells. In an in vivo bioluminescence imaging, a higher proportion of injected donor cells was detected in the lung during the early phase (1 h after IV-SCT) than after IBM-SCT (16.7 ± 1.1 vs. 3.1 ± 0.7 × 105 photons/s/animal, IV-SCT vs. IBM-SCT, P = 1.90 × 10−10). In the late phase (5 days) after SCT, there were also significantly more donor cells in the lung after IV-SCT than after IBM-SCT or allogeneic-SCT (508.5 ± 66.1 vs. 160.1 ± 61.9 × 106 photons/s/animal, IV-SCT vs. IBM-SCT, P = 0.001), suggesting that the allogeneic reaction induces sustained donor cell infiltration in the lung during the late phase. These results demonstrated that IBM-SCT is capable of reducing injected donor cells in the lung; IBM-SCT decreases donor cell infiltration. IBM-SCT therefore represents a promising transplantation strategy for reducing pulmonary complications, by suppressing the first step in the pathophysiology of chronic GVHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are used to treat several cancers, but they sometimes induce immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Patients with irAEs often have improved antitumor responses, but discontinuation of ICIs after irAEs is considered necessary. Resuming the use of ICIs after irAEs is preferable, but few studies have investigated the safety of ICI resumption after irAEs. Therefore, we evaluated the factors associated with the recurrence of irAEs after ICI resumption to investigate the safety of this approach. METHODS In this observational study, we enrolled patients treated with ICIs from September 2014 to March 2020 at our institution. Patient characteristics, ICIs, grades of irAEs, ICI discontinuation or resumption rates, and recurrence rates of irAEs after ICI therapy were analysed. RESULTS Two-hundred eighty-seven patients were included in the present study, and 76 patients experienced grade 2 or higher irAEs. Forty-two patients underwent ICI resumption after recovering from irAEs, and 13 of them had a recurrence of irAEs. Among those 13 patients, six had a recurrence of the same irAE, and seven experienced other irAEs. Ten of the 13 patients had grade ≥2 irAEs, and none had fatal irAEs. In the grade 2 or higher irAE group, more patients had irAEs associated with multiple organs and of initial grade ≥2 than those in the grade 1 and no recurrent irAEs group. CONCLUSIONS Patients with initial multisystemic irAEs and irAEs of grade ≥2 were more likely to experience relapse or develop new grade ≥2 irAEs after ICI resumption.

Abstract
Asparagine-linked glycosylation (N-glycosylation) of proteins in the cancer secretome has been gaining increasing attention as a potential biomarker for cancer detection and diagnosis. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) constitute a large part of the cancer secretome, yet little is known about whether their N-glycosylation status reflects known cancer characteristics. Here, we investigated the N-glycosylation of sEVs released from small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cells. We found that the N-glycans of SCLC-sEVs were characterized by the presence of structural units also found in the brain N-glycome, while NSCLC-sEVs were dominated by typical lung-type N-glycans with NSCLC-associated core fucosylation. In addition, lectin-assisted N-glycoproteomics of SCLC-sEVs and NSCLC-sEVs revealed that integrin αV was commonly expressed in sEVs of both cancer cell types, while the epithelium-specific integrin α6β4 heterodimer was selectively expressed in NSCLC-sEVs. Importantly, N-glycomics of the immuno-purified integrin α6 from NSCLC-sEVs identified NSCLC-type N-glycans on this integrin subunit. Thus, we conclude that protein N-glycosylation in lung cancer sEVs may potentially reflect the histology of lung cancers.

Abstract
Th17 cells play an important role in psoriasis. The differentiation of naïve CD4+ T cells into Th17 cells depends on glycolysis as the energy source. CD147/basigin, an integral transmembrane protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily, regulates glycolysis in association with monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs)-1 and -4 in cancer cells and T cells. We examined whether CD147/basigin is involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis in humans and psoriasis-model mice. The serum level of CD147 was increased in patients with psoriasis, and the expression of CD147 and MCT-1 was elevated in their dermal CD4+ RORγt+ T cells. In vitro, the potential of naïve CD4+ T cells to differentiate into Th17 cells was abrogated in CD147−/− T cells. Imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriatic dermatitis was significantly milder in CD147−/− mice and bone marrow chimeric mice lacking CD147 in the hematopoietic cells of myeloid lineage. These findings demonstrate that CD147 is essential for the development of psoriasis via the induction of Th17 cell differentiation.

Abstract
Most of the diseases for which apheresis therapy is indicated are intractable and rare, and each patient has a different background and treatment course prior to apheresis therapy initiation. Therefore, it is difficult to conduct large-scale randomized controlled trials to secure high-quality evidence. Under such circumstances, the American Society for Apheresis (ASFA) issued its guidelines in 2007, which were repeatedly revised until the latest edition in 2019. The ASFA guidelines are comprehensive. However, in the United States, a centrifugal separation method is mainly used for apheresis, whereas the mainstream procedure in Japan is the membrane separation method. The target diseases and their backgrounds are different from those in Japan. Due to these differences, the direct adoption of the ASFA guidelines in Japanese practice creates various problems. One of the features of apheresis in Japan is the development of treatment methods using hollow-fiber devices such as double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) and selective plasma exchange and adsorption-type devices such as polymyxin B-immobilized endotoxin adsorption columns. Specialists in emergency medicine, hematology, collagen diseases/rheumatology, respiratory medicine, cardiovascular medicine, gastroenterology, neurology, nephrology, and dermatology who are familiar with apheresis therapy gathered for this guideline, which covers 86 diseases. In addition, since apheresis therapy involves not only physicians but also clinical engineers, nurses, dieticians, and many other medical professionals, this guideline was prepared in the form of a worksheet so that it can be easily understood at the bedside. Moreover, to the clinical purposes, this guideline is designed to summarize apheresis therapy in Japan and to disseminate and further develop Japanese apheresis technology to the world. As diagnostic and therapeutic techniques are constantly advancing, the guidelines need to be revised every few years. In order to ensure the high quality of apheresis therapy in Japan, both the Japanese Society for Apheresis Registry and the guidelines will be inseparable.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) are one of the therapeutic options for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), but they have limited effects. We previously demonstrated that HSP72 overexpression is associated with chemoresistance to HDACis in lymphoma cells. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the functional depletion of HSP72 enhances the effect of the HDACi vorinostat. First, we established a stable HSP72-knockdown CTCL cell line and confirmed the influence of HSP72 reduction on the antitumor effects of vorinostat. Next, we studied the effect of quercetin, an inhibitor of HSP72, on the antineoplastic effects of vorinostat. In five CTCL cell lines examined, HSP72 expression was highest in Hut78 cells, and HSP72 knockdown enhanced vorinostat-induced apoptosis in these cells. Low-dose quercetin reduced HSP72 expression, increased HDAC activity, and enhanced vorinostat-induced suppression of Hut78 cell proliferation. A single low dose of quercetin induced G2 arrest and only slightly increased the sub-G1 cell fraction. Quercetin also significantly enhanced vorinostat-induced apoptosis, caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 activity, and the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. HSP72 knockdown enhanced vorinostat-induced apoptosis in an HSP72-overexpressing CTCL cell line, and thus, quercetin may be a suitable candidate for combination therapy with vorinostat in clinical settings.

Abstract
Murine γδT-cells have stress-surveillance functions and are implicated in autoimmunity. Yet, whether human γδT-cells are also stress sentinels and directly promote autoimmune responses in the skin is unknown. Using a novel (mini-)organ assay, we tested if human dermis resident γδT-cells can recognize stressed human scalp hair follicles (HFs) to promote an alopecia areata (AA)-like autoimmune response. Accordingly, we show that γδT-cells from healthy human scalp skin are activated (CD69+), up-regulate the expression of NKG2D and IFN-γ, and become cytotoxic when co-cultured with autologous stressed HFs ex vivo. These autologous γδT-cells induce HF immune privilege collapse, dystrophy, and premature catagen, i.e. three hallmarks of the human autoimmune HF disorder, AA. This is mediated by CXCL12, MICA, and in part by IFN-γ and CD1d. In conclusion, human dermal γδT-cells exert physiological stress-sentinel functions in human skin, where their excessive activity can promote autoimmunity towards stressed HFs that overexpress CD1d, CXCL12, and/or MICA.

Abstract
Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), a chronic aseptic inflammatory skin disease characterized by skin ulcers with elevated and undermined borders, is resistant to conventional therapies. PG is elicited by activated neutrophils and macrophages and is often associated with systemic diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, aortitis syndrome, and hematopoietic disorders. This single-center study assessed the efficacy and safety of selectively depleting myeloid-lineage leukocytes in patients with PG. Patients with PG, aged 20 or over, received 5 or 10 treatment sessions of granulocyte and monocyte adsorption apheresis (GMA), once or twice a week. Treatment efficacy was assessed based on the rate of skin ulcer reduction, the visual analog scale of pain, and the physician's global assessment of the skin lesions. A complete response (CR) was obtained in eight patients, a nearly complete response (nCR) in three patients, and a partial response (PR) in two patients. In four of the other six, the disease remained stable (SD) and in two we observed disease progression (PD). No severe adverse events were recorded. Our results suggest that GMA is a useful and safe treatment modality for PG.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In malignant melanoma patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy, three different FDG-PET criteria, European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), PET Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST), immunotherapy-modified PERCIST (imPERCIST), were compared regarding response evaluation and prognosis prediction using standardized uptake value (SUV) harmonization of results obtained with various PET/CT scanners installed at different centers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Malignant melanoma patients (n = 27) underwent FDG-PET/CT examinations before and again 3 to 9 months after therapy initiation (nivolumab, n = 21; pembrolizumab, n = 6) with different PET scanners at five hospitals. EORTC, PERCIST, and imPERCIST criteria were used to evaluate therapeutic response, then concordance of the results was assessed using Cohen's κ coefficient. Log-rank and Cox methods were employed to determine progression-free (PFS) and overall (OS) survival. RESULTS Complete metabolic response (CMR)/partial metabolic response (PMR)/stable metabolic disease (SMD)/progressive metabolic disease (PMD) with harmonized EORTC, PERCIST, and imPERCIST was seen in 3/5/4/15, 4/5/3/15, and 4/5/5/13 patients, respectively. Nearly perfect concordance between each pair of criteria was noted (κ = 0.939-0.972). Twenty patients showed progression and 14 died from malignant melanoma after a median 19.2 months. Responders (CMR/PMR) showed significantly longer PFS and OS than non-responders (SMD/PMD) (harmonized EORTC: p < 0.0001 and p = 0.011; harmonized PERCIST: p < 0.0001 and p = 0.0012; harmonized imPERCIST: p < 0.0001 and p = 0.0012, respectively). CONCLUSIONS All harmonized FDG-PET criteria (EORTC, PERCIST, imPERCIST) showed accuracy for response evaluation of ICI therapy and prediction of malignant melanoma patient prognosis. Additional studies to determine their value in larger study populations will be necessary.

Abstract
Ultraviolet radiation is one of the standard treatment selections for psoriasis. interferon (IFN)-γ and IFN-γ-induced CXCL10, which are highly expressed by keratinocytes in psoriasis lesion, are therapeutic targets for psoriasis. In this study, we found that ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation inhibited IFN-γ signaling events, including STAT1 phosphorylation and induction of CXCL10 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in keratinocytes. IFN-γ-induced expression of CXCL10 mRNA in HaCaT cells, a human keratinocyte cell line, and human epithelial keratinocytes were also inhibited by H2 O2 or endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress inducers. Conversely, a mixture of antioxidants, Trolox and ascorbic acid, and the ER stress inhibitor salubrinal partially counteracted the inhibitory effect of UVB on IFN-γ-induced CXCL10 mRNA expression in HaCaT cells. We also found that UVB and ER stress reduced IFN-γ receptor 1 protein levels in the plasma membrane fraction of keratinocytes. These observations suggested that ER stress and the generation of reactive oxygen species are essential for the inhibitory effect of UVB on IFN-γ-induced CXCL10 mRNA in keratinocytes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are used to treat patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), but they show limited efficacy. Hence, combination therapies should be explored to enhance the effectiveness of HDACis. OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to identify novel therapeutic targets that can be combined with HDACis for treating CTCL. METHODS We performed a global kinome profiling assay of three CTCL cell lines (HH, MJ, and Hut78) with three HDACis (romidepsin, vorinostat, and belinostat) using the PamChip® microarray. The three cell lines were co-treated with romidepsin and an inhibitor against the tyrosine kinase pathway. RESULTS Principal component analysis revealed that kinome expression patterns were mainly related to the cell origin and were not affected by the drugs. Few kinases were commonly activated by the HDACis. Most identified kinases were Src-associated molecules, such as annexin A2, embryonal Fyn-associated substrate, and progesterone receptor. Phosphorylated Src was not observed in any untreated cell lines, whereas Src phosphorylation was detected in two of the three cell lines after HDACi treatment. Ponatinib, a Src inhibitor, significantly enhanced romidepsin-induced apoptosis not only in HH, MJ, and Hut78 cells, but also in Myla and SeAx CTCL cell lines. CONCLUSION The Src pathway is a possible target for combination therapy involving HDACis for CTCL.
