    (WILEY, 2020-01-01) Johnson, Daniel N.; Onenerk, Mine; Krane, Jeffrey F.; Rossi, Esther Diana; Baloch, Zubair; Barkan, Guliz; Bongiovanni, Massimo; Callegari, Fabiano; Canberk, Sule; Dixon, Glen; Field, Andrew; Griffith, Christopher C.; Jhala, Nirag; Jiang, Sara; Kurtycz, Daniel; Layfield, Lester; Lin, Oscar; Maleki, Zahra; Perez-Machado, Miguel; Pusztaszeri, Marc; Vielh, Philippe; Wang, He; Zarka, Matthew A.; Faquin, William C.
    Background Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is commonly used for the preoperative evaluation of salivary gland tumors. Tumor grade is a key factor influencing clinical management of salivary gland carcinomas (SGCs). To assess the ability to grade nonbasaloid SGCs in FNA specimens, an international panel of cytopathologists convened to review and score SGC cases. Methods The study cohort included 61 cases of primary SGC from the pathology archives of 3 tertiary medical centers. Cases from 2005 to 2016 were selected, scanned, and digitized. Nineteen cytopathologists blinded to the histologic diagnosis reviewed the digitized cytology slides and graded them as low, high, or indeterminate. The panelists' results were then compared to the tumor grades based on histopathologic examination of the corresponding resection specimens. Results All but 2 of the 19 (89.5\%) expert panelists review more than 20 salivary gland FNAs per year

    Within- and between-subject biological variation data for tumor markers based on the European Biological Variation Study
    (WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH, 2022-01-01) Coskun, Abdurrahman; Aarsand, Aasne K.; Sandberg, Sverre; Guerra, Elena; Locatelli, Massimo; Diaz-Garzon, Jorge; Fernandez-Calle, Pilar; Ceriotti, Ferruccio; Jonker, Niels; Bartlett, William A.; Carobene, Anna; Chem, European Federation Clinical
    Objectives: Reliable biological variation (BV) data are required for the clinical use of tumor markers in the diagnosis and monitoring of treatment effects in cancer. The European Biological Variation Study (EuBIVAS) was established by the EFLM Biological Variation Working Group to deliver BV data for clinically important measurands. In this study, EuBIVAS-based BV estimates are provided for cancer antigen (CA) 125, CA 15-3, CA 19-9, carcinoembryonic antigen, cytokeratin-19 fragment, alpha-fetoprotein and human epididymis protein 4. Methods: Subjects from five European countries were enrolled in the study, and weekly samples were collected from 91 healthy individuals (53 females and 38 males

    Transcriptomics and Proteomics Analyses Reveal JAK Signaling and Inflammatory Phenotypes during Cellular Senescence in Blind Mole Rats: The Reflections of Superior Biology

    The blind mole rat (BMR), a long-living subterranean rodent, is an exceptional model for both aging and cancer research since they do not display age-related phenotypes or tumor formation. The Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling is a cytokine-stimulated pathway that has a crucial role in immune regulation, proliferation, and cytokine production. Therefore, the pathway has recently attracted interest in cellular senescence studies. Here, by using publicly available data, we report that JAK-STAT signaling was suppressed in the BMR in comparison to the mouse. Interestingly, our experimental results showed upregulated Jak1/2 expressions in BMR fibroblasts during the replicative senescence process. The transcriptomic analysis using publicly available data also demonstrated that various cytokines related to JAK-STAT signaling were upregulated in the late passage cells, while some other cytokines such as MMPs and SERPINs were downregulated, representing a possible balance of senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASPs) in the BMR. Finally, our proteomics data also confirmed cytokine-mediated signaling activation in senescent BMR fibroblasts. Together, our findings suggest the critical role of JAK-STAT and cytokine-mediated signaling pathways during cellular senescence, pointing to the possible contribution of divergent inflammatory factors to the superior resistance of aging and cancer in BMRs.
