In this study, we have utilized the human high molecular weight-melanoma associated antigen (HMW-MAA) as a target for active specific immunotherapy with mouse anti-idiotypic (anti-id) monoclonal antibodies (mAb) in patients with malignant melanoma. After having summarized the characteristics of HMW-MAA which account for its selection as a target for immunotherapy, we describe the development and characterization of mouse anti-id mAb MK2-23 which bears the internal image of HMW-MAA. Furthermore, we describe the results of the first clinical trial performed with mouse anti-id mAb MK2-23 in patients with malignant melanoma. 相似文献

A 52-year-old Japanese woman developed numerous amelanotic metastatic melanomas on the skin and in various organs three years after a surgical operation for primary melanoma on the right axilla. The patient was treated with monosialoganglioside specific monoclonal antibody 202; however, no apparent clinical effects were observed. Ganglioside analysis of a metastatic tumor demonstrated that it expressed GM3, GM2, GD3, GD2, and polysialogangliosides. Since polysialogangliosides rarely appear in melanomas, their expression may explain the patient's poor response to MAb 202. The relationship between ganglioside composition and the effect of anti-ganglioside monoclonal antibody is discussed. 相似文献

Electrochemotherapy (ECT) is a treatment modality that combines low-dose chemotherapy with electroporation, thereby enhancing cytotoxicity. ECT was first utilized in the treatment of metastatic head and neck cancer. Today it is used as a local treatment for the cutaneous and subcutaneous metastases of a variety of cancers, including melanoma. In addition, recent evidence indicates that ECT in combination with immunotherapy can lead to a systemic tumor response. This review aims to summarize the efficacy of ECT in the treatment of metastatic melanoma, with a specific focus on the combination of ECT with immunotherapy. 相似文献

Antibody reactivity to human melanoma cells (SK-Mel-23) was investigated in 48 patients with vitiligo, 14 with alopecia areata (AA), and 35 normal control individuals by Western blot analysis. Antibodies to SK-Mel-23 were found in 44 (92%) of the patients with vitiligo, in 7 (50%) of the patients with AA, and in 14 (40%) of the normal control individuals. Significant differences between patients with vitiligo and normal controls were found in the incidence and distribution of antibodies, but no significant differences were found between patients with AA and normal controls. The antibodies were predominantly directed to one or more antigens of approximately 110 KD, 103 KD, 88 KD, 70 KD, 56 KD, 46 DK, or 41 KD. The most common responses were to 110 KD, 88KD, and 70 KD antigens. These antibodies were present in 60%, 60%, and 73% of the patients with vitiligo; 7%, 14% and 35% of the patients with AA; and 11%, 11% and 40% of normal control individuals, respectively. There were no statistical differences in the incidence of antibodies to pigment cells between segmental and non-segmental vitiligo. These findings suggest that autoreactivity to pigment cells occurs mostly in patients with vitiligo and might be a secondary immune reaction to destroyed pigment cells. 相似文献

Even though atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin diseases, its treatment remains a challenge in clinical practice, with most approaches limited to symptomatic, unspecific anti-inflammatory, or immunosuppressive treatments. Many studies have shown AD to have multiple causes that activate complex immunological and inflammatory pathways. However, aeroallergens, and especially the house dust mite (HDM), play a relevant role in the elicitation or exacerbation of eczematous lesions in many AD patients. Accordingly, allergen-specific immunotherapy has been used in AD patients with the aim of redirecting inappropriate immune responses. Here, we report three cases of refractory AD sensitized to HDM who were treated with sublingual immunotherapy. 相似文献

Dermatological toxicity is one of the most commonly reported immune‐related adverse events in patients receiving checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy. We report the gradual development of a widespread bullous pemphigoid‐like reaction in a metastatic melanoma patient 8 months after commencing treatment with the programmed‐death‐1 (PD‐1) inhibitor pembrolizumab, requiring prolonged corticosteroid therapy. This case highlights the potential for insidious and late development of severe cutaneous toxicity following PD‐1 inhibitor therapy and suggests that even prolonged immunosuppression may not necessarily compromise the efficacy of PD‐1 inhibition in advanced melanoma. 相似文献

Recent reports indicate that patients with malignant melanoma might be at higher risk for developing a non-cutaneous unrelated second malignancy. We describe the case of a 46-year-old woman who had a malignant melanoma on her right shoulder that was treated in 1998 by surgical excision combined with axillary lymph node dissection. In 1999, ultrasound examination of peripheral lymph nodes revealed one suspicious echopoor structure in the woman's right axilla that was not palpable. Diagnostic excision and histopathological examination revealed a small B-cell lymphocytic lymphoma, and further investigations led to a diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic B-cell leukaemia (B-CLL). We would like to point out the value of high-resolution ultrasound examination in the follow-up of patients with malignant melanoma; this examination can detect early metastasis as well as other unrelated malignancies. 相似文献

Leptin is known to be abnormally expressed in a variety of cancers, and leptin receptors have been reported to be expressed on human melanoma cells. In this study, we evaluated the possibility that the serum levels of leptin receptor could be a tumor marker of malignant melanoma (MM). Serum samples were obtained from 71 patients with MM, and the serum levels of leptin receptor were measured by double‐determinant ELISA. Interestingly, serum levels of leptin receptor decreased gradually with the stages of MM, being highest at in situ and lowest at stage IV. There was also a trend of reverse correlation between tumor thickness and serum levels of leptin receptor. To our knowledge, this is the first report investigating the serum levels of leptin receptor in MM, and serum leptin receptor levels may be used as a useful tumor marker of MM. 相似文献

Several association studies and GWAS on melanoma skin cancer risk have reported statistically significant signals on 9p21.3 region, where MTAP gene maps. None of the associated SNPs identified in these studies lie in the coding region of the gene and the causative relation of risk alleles with melanoma predisposition has not been elucidated. MTAP has a tumor suppressor activity and epigenetic silencing has been described in melanoma cell lines. In the present study, we show that melanoma risk alleles correlate with a MTAP allele‐specific hyper‐methylation and down‐regulation of gene expression. 相似文献

Background Cognitive education using only photographs has been shown to be more effective than the ABCD algorithm to improve melanoma recognition in the general population. Objective The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a campaign based on cognitive education by photographs instead of the usual ABCD algorithm. Methods Brochures including a panel of photographs of melanoma and moles were mailed, supported by a media campaign and followed by a telephone survey of a representative sample of the district population. Results Among the 855 people interviewed, 38% recalled the campaign and 13% had actually read the brochures. Among the 13%, 99% found them useful, 52% reassuring and 40% anxiety provoking, while 92% agreed that using images of skin cancer was the best way to recognize melanoma. Sixty‐four percent declared that this campaign had prompted them to examine their own moles, 39% were prompted to check moles of family members, and only 11% would immediately visit a doctor. Conclusion This pilot study shows that a melanoma campaign based exclusively on images is well accepted in the community, and is associated with a favourable impact on self‐surveillance, while limiting overflow of unjustified consultations. We recommend this innovative concept be applied to large scale campaigns. 相似文献

Worldwide, sentinel node (SN) biopsy for accurate staging is now part of the standard work‐up of patients with melanomas ≥1.0 mm Breslow thickness, as it is for staging patients with breast cancer. Nuclear medicine imaging and surgical techniques have evolved to such a degree that a SN can be identified and removed in virtually every patient. Nevertheless, some opposition to a routine SN biopsy remains, perhaps due to a failure to appreciate the serious implications of incomplete or inaccurate staging. Guided by a critical appraisal of the available evidence, this review elucidates the definition of an SN, discusses the sensitivity and specificity of the information it provides, emphasises that it is a minor staging procedure that can lead to improved survival when followed by appropriate therapy, and explains the necessarily unconventional and complex design of the only randomised trial that addresses this subject. It also describes other benefits and risks of an SN biopsy and outlines its role in current melanoma management. 相似文献

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising therapeutic modality that utilizes a combination of a photosensitizer and visible light for the destruction of diseased tissues. Using human-pigmented melanoma cells, we examined the photokilling efficacy of new silicon-phthalocyanines (SiPc) that bore bulky axial substituents. The bis(cholesteryloxy) derivate (Chol-O-SiPc) displayed the best in vitro photokilling efficacy (LD(50) = 6-8 x 10(-9) M) and was seven to nine times more potent than chloro-aluminium Pc (ClAlPc), a known photosensitizer used as a reference. Although Chol-O-SiPc was half as potent as ClAlPc for promoting photo-oxidative membrane damage in a cell-free assay, early events of mitochondrion-mediated apoptosis upon PDT were triggered much faster, as demonstrated by kinetics studies examining cells with permeabilized mitochondrial membranes, cytochrome c release and caspase-9 activation. Inhibition of caspase-9 activity by a substrate analogue argued for its central role in the proapoptotic events leading to cell death by Chol-O-SiPc PDT. In addition, immunoblots showed that Bcl-2 antiapoptotic oncoprotein was not a primary target of Chol-O-SiPc in M3Dau cells treated with PDT. Conclusively, Chol-O-SiPc is a useful new photosensitizer with the property of triggering cell apoptosis mediated by mitochondria. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Topical immunotherapy with a contact allergen is effective in alopecia areata (AA). However, the mechanism of the effect is still unknown, and pretreatment prediction of the outcome of therapy in each patient remains difficult. OBJECTIVES: To predict the clinical effect of this therapy in AA patients, we investigated the relationship between clinical responses to topical immunotherapy and in vitro proliferative responses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to T-cell stimulants. METHODS: PBMC were taken from 67 AA patients before or during diphenylcyclopropenone immunotherapy and from 14 healthy controls, and proliferative responses to phytohaemagglutinin and staphylococcal enterotoxin B were evaluated by measuring [3H]-thymidine incorporation. RESULTS: PBMC from the AA patients with a good clinical response to immunotherapy showed a normal level of proliferation, whereas PBMC from the poor responders showed a markedly suppressed proliferative response and interleukin (IL)-2 production, but increased IL-4 production compared with the controls. CONCLUSIONS: The proliferative response of PBMC to T-cell stimulants may be one of the indicators of the clinical effect of topical immunotherapy for AA. 相似文献

A 37‐year‐old pregnant woman presented with a 2‐cm irregular reddish nodule on her left upper arm during pregnancy. A biopsy from the lesion showed a 2.2‐mm thick malignant melanoma with intravascular invasion, 25 mitosis/mm2 and no ulceration. Following induction of labor, the patient underwent re‐excision with sentinel lymph node biopsy. This showed no residual melanoma and no lymph node metastasis. The newborn boy had multiple pigmented lesions on the trunk, some of which were large and irregular. Two were biopsied and histologic examination showed dense dermal proliferation of medium sized melanocytes with multiple mitotic figures and no maturation with their descent into the dermis, raising suspicion of transplacental metastases. Examination of the placenta failed to show metastatic lesions. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐based genotyping, including testing for amelogenin locus for sex chromosome determination, demonstrated the presence of Y chromosome material in the melanocytes of the newborn's lesions excluding maternal origin. A diagnosis of congenital nevi was rendered. Subsequently, Imaging Mass Spectrometric analysis of the mother's lesion showed proteomic signature expression indicative of malignant melanoma, whereas the two lesions in the newborn showed changes indicative of nevi. This case demonstrates the utility of genotyping and Mass Spectrometry analysis in this challenging clinical scenario 相似文献
