Article Abstract
Background: Hypoxic conditions in glioma are linked to tumor aggressiveness, poor prognosis, and treatment resistance. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play key roles in the hypoxic and immune microenvironment of cancers, but their link to hypoxia-induced immunosuppression in high-grade glioma (HGG) is not well-studied.
Methods: Gene expression profiles from TCGA and CGGA, along with clinical and genomic data, were analyzed. Bioinformatics methods including Consensus Clustering, Pearson correlation, and Cox regression analyses were used. Cell proliferation was assessed using cell counting kit-8 and colony formation assays. Glioma-macrophage interactions were evaluated using a co-culture model.
Results: Hypoxia subtype clustering showed hypoxic stress correlates with worse HGG prognosis. Eight hypoxia-related lncRNAs (AP000695.4, OSMR-AS1, AC078883.3, RP11-545E17.3, LINC01057, LINC01503, TP73-AS1, and LINC00672) with prognostic value were identified, forming a risk signature that separated patients into distinct prognostic groups. Multivariate Cox regression confirmed the signature as an independent prognostic factor. High-risk patients had greater hypoxia, leading to an immunosuppressive environment and immunotherapy resistance via tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). TP73-AS1 significantly influenced hypoxia-induced TAM infiltration and M2 polarization.
Conclusions: We profiled hypoxic stress in HGG and developed an 8-lncRNA hypoxia-related signature predicting patient survival and immunotherapy response, emphasizing its role in hypoxia-induced immunosuppression.

Severe Pneumonia as a Complication of Scrub Typhus: A Case Report From an Endemic Region.

Scrub typhus, caused by , transmitted through bites from infected chiggers (larval mites), is a common infection in the Asia-Pacific region, including the Maldives, and typically presents with fever with myalgia, rash, eschar, and internal organ involvement. Pulmonary complications like severe pneumonia are less common but can be life-threatening. We report a case of a 51-year-old woman with underlying hypertension and rheumatoid arthritis on immunosuppressive therapy, who presented with high-grade fever, dry cough, and worsening shortness of breath.

Gliomas are aggressive brain tumors of glial origin accounting for about 80% of the central nervous system (CNS) malignancies. Glioma cells are known to form a highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) capable of inhibiting T cell activation and protecting tumors from elimination by the immune system. One of the predominant immune inhibitory mechanisms in the TME are immune checkpoints: a complex system of membrane-bound ligands on tumor and immune cells that interact with surface receptors on T lymphocytes and affect their activation and cytotoxicity.

Background: High-grade breast cancer (HGBC) is an aggressive disease with poor prognosis, underscoring the need for new treatment strategies. The tumor microenvironment (TME), particularly the extracellular matrix (ECM), plays a pivotal role in tumor progression, therapy resistance, and immune regulation. An ECM-related gene signature (defined ECM3), found in approximately 35% of HGBC cases, is associated with aggressive tumors, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), poor clinical outcome and increased infiltration of immunosuppressive myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs).

CD20-negative aggressive B-cell lymphomas are a rare and heterogeneous group of lymphomas representing a diagnostic challenge for pathologists and a therapeutic issue for clinicians, because the outcome of these patients is poor with the current therapeutic approaches. CD20-negative aggressive lymphomas include plasmablastic lymphoma, primary effusion lymphoma, ALK-positive large B-cell lymphoma and HHV8-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Conditions of immunosuppression and viral infections, such as Epstein-Barr virus and Human Herpes virus 8, are associated with all of these lymphomas with the exclusion of ALK-positive large B-cell lymphoma, which occurs in immunocompetent hosts and is not associated with viral infections.

As the most frequent and aggressive subtype of ovarian cancer, high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) often advances unnoticed due to its subtle early symptoms, which in turn leads to a significantly low five-year survival rate. The process of immune evasion, often achieved by constructing an immunosuppressive microenvironment through various pathways, stands as a critical feature of tumor biology. At the same time, emerging studies reveal a strong association between the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and immune regulation in the tumor microenvironment (TME).
