Abstract Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer therapy by unleashing the power of immune system against malignant cells. However, their use is associated with a spectrum adverse effects, including cardiovascular complications, which can pose significant clinical challenges. Several mechanisms contribute to toxicity ICIs. First, dysregulation checkpoints, such as cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) its ligand (PD-L1), molecular mimicry cardiac autoantigens, leads immune-related events, myocarditis vasculitis. These events result from aberrant activation T cells self-antigens within myocardium or vascular endothelium. Second, disruption homeostasis ICIs lead autoimmune-mediated inflammation tissues, manifesting dysfunction heart failure, arrhythmias, pericarditis. Furthermore, upregulation inflammatory cytokines, particularly tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interferon-γ, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, interleukin-17 contributes endothelial dysfunction, plaque destabilization, thrombosis, exacerbating risk on long term. Understanding intricate side effects induced crucial for optimizing patient care ensure safe effective integration immunotherapy into broader range treatment protocols. The implications these underscore importance vigilant monitoring early detection in patients receiving Future key pathological mediators biomarkers may aid prompt diagnosis cardiotoxicity will allow timely interventions.

Myocarditis can be caused by viral infection, drug reaction or general inflammatory condition. To provide understanding on myocarditis, we describe clinical, genetic, and immunological properties of a young male patient who suffered from recurrent myocarditis episodes since the age four years. Electrocardiography, troponin I/T, echocardiography, myocardial magnetic resonance imaging histological findings were consistent with episodes. Homozygous c.245 A > G p.Tyr82Cys pathogenic variant in Hepatitis Virus Cellular Receptor 2 (HAVCR2) gene encoding T cell immunoglobulin mucin domain-containing protein 3 (TIM-3) receptor was found.

The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has revolutionized cancer treatment, offering life-saving benefits to tumor patients. However, the utilize ICI agents is often accompanied by immune-related adverse events (irAEs), among which cardiovascular toxicities have attracted more and attention. induced predominantly present as acute myocarditis chronic atherosclerosis, both are driven excessive activation. Reprogramming T cells macrophages been demonstrated a pivotal factor in pathogenesis these complications. Therapeutic strategies targeting glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production some other key signaling shown promise mitigating hyperactivation inflammation. In this review, we explored intricate mechanisms underlying ICI-induced highlighted protective potential reprogramming. We emphasize roles cell macrophage reprogramming heart vasculature, showcasing their contributions short-term long-term regulation health. Ultimately, deeper understanding processes will not only enhance safety ICIs but also pave way for innovative manage cancers therapy.

Objectives Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) stimulate antitumor immune responses and, in parallel, they might trigger autoimmune and other immunopathological mechanisms eventually leading to immune-related adverse events (irAE). In our study, we assessed patients with malignancies who underwent anti-PD-1 treatment at the University of Debrecen, Clinical Center. Patients methods Between June 2017 May 2021, 207 started ICI university. A total 157 received nivolumab 50 were treated pembrolizumab.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become one of the cornerstones current oncology treatment, and immune inhibitor-related myocarditis (IRM) is most fatal all adverse events (irAEs). Methylprednisolone pulse therapy (500-1,000 mg/day) initial treatment for IRM recommended by almost relevant guidelines. However, subsequent regimens remain unclear patients who do not respond to methylprednisolone (who are defined as steroid-refractory patients). We propose a potential approach IRM.

Abstract Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are widely used in cancer treatment; however, the emergence of ICI-associated myocarditis (ICI-MC) presents a severe and potentially fatal complication with poorly understood pathophysiological mechanisms. This study aimed to identify crucial immune-related genes ICI-MC uncover potential therapeutic targets using bioinformatics. Methods Using GSE180045 dataset, which includes three groups—Group A: ICI patients without immune adverse events, Group B: non-myocarditis C: myocarditis—we analyzed differentially expressed (DEGs) between samples (Group C) controls (Groups A B). These DEGs were then cross-referenced 1796 from immPort database DEGs. We conducted functional enrichment analyses (Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia Genes Genomes, gene set analysis), constructed protein–protein interaction network, identified hub genes. Validation GSE4172 dataset led identification optimal feature overlap Predictions target MicroRNAs (miRNAs) made, competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was constructed.
