Abstract Background Since the spread of SARS-CoV-2 worldwide, there has been the need for scores and biomarkers to identify patients at risk of died or requiring admission to the intensive care units (ICU) admission. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is released as a response to the infection, stimulating inflammatory pathways in the acute phase response. Thus, previous studies have shown that high serum concentrations IL-10 can be identify patients with severe community acquired pneumonia (CAP). Nevertheless, there is a lack of information regarding the capacity of IL-10 to identify severe COVID-19. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the capacity of IL-10 as a prediction factor for mortality in hospital admitted patients with COVID-19 compared with CAP patients. Methods A prospective observational study was carried out at the Clinica Universidad de La Sabana, Colombia. Patients older than 18 years and old, hospitalized due to COVID 19 or CAP, were included. Patients were stratified into COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients. IL-10 levels were quantified in serum samples using the LUMINEX technology. Serum samples were collected within the first 24 hours of hospital admission. Afterward, concentrations of interleukinwere statistically compared among groups. ROC curves were calculated. Results A total of 88 patients with CAP and 152 patients with COVID-19 were enrolled in the study. The median [with IQR] serum concentration of IL-10 were higher in those patients who died (81.1 [30.7-148.9] vs 18.8 [8.3-48.4] p-value < 0.0001). Then, comparing the study group, the median concentration of IL-10 levels among patients deceased by COVID-19 were higher than patients those who survived (85.1 [40-149.8] vs 32.4 [13.9-56.7] p-value < 0.001). In addition, IL-10 levels were higher in patients who survived COVID-19 compared with those who survived CAP (32.4 [13.9-56.7] vs 10.6 [4.9-18] p-value < 0.0001). The area under curve (AUC) ROC of IL-10 to predict mortality risk was 0.754 for all cohort. DeLong′s test comparing ROC curves in COVID-19 and CAP patients had a p= 0.744. Conclusion High serum levels of IL-10 are a good predictor of in-hospital mortality among COVID-19 patients. However, this risk association was not observed in CAP patients. Further studies are needed. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

Abstract Background Lower respiratory tract infections such as community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are the main current causes of mortality worldwide. Several scores and biomarkers have been proposed to identify patients at risk of dying, with unclear results. Presepsin is a glycoprotein expressed on the surface of the membrane of monocytes and macrophages and its utility has been proven in sepsis as a predictor of severity and treatment response. However, it is unknown the utility of this biomarker as a mortality predictor among COVID-19 and CAP patients. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the utility of serum presepsin to identify patients at risk of dying due to COVID-19 and CAP. Methods A prospective observational study was conducted at Clinica Universidad de La Sabana, Colombia. We included 240 patients who required hospital admission due to CAP or COVID-19. Plasma samples were collected within 24 hours of admission. The presepsin concentration was quantified using the PATHFAST system. Afterwards, a two-tailed test was used to compare mortality rates among patients and their presepsin plasma concentration. Lastly, the ROC was calculated to determine presepsin’s sensibility as a mortality predictor. Results A total of 88 patients with CAP and 152 patients with COVID-19 were included in the study. The median [with IQR] in Presepsin plasma concentration was higher in all patients who died (920 [573 - 2340] vs 573 [307,5 - 1052,5], p-value< 0.0001). Furthermore, comparing to the study group, the median concentration of presepsin was higher in patients deceased by COVID-19 than those who survived. (1358 [642,8 - 2976,8] vs 570 [333,2 - 1007,5], p-value< 0.0001). In addition, the area under the curve (AUC) ROC of presepsin to predict risk of mortality was 0.769. DeLong’s test comparing ROC curves in COVID-19 and CAP patients had a p-value=0.073. Serum presepsin results Conclusion Plasma concentrations of presepsin plasma were higher among COVID-19 patients who died. Moreover, serum concentration of presepsin were not useful to identify CAP patients at risk of dying. However, practical use of Presepsin as a prognostic biomarker of severity is yet to be assessed as further studies are needed. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is classified as one of the most prevalent cancer types worldwide, with high morbidity and mortality rates. Patients of CRC have been shown to express a detectable cytokine in serum which contributes to cancer pathogenesis. Therefore, the serum interleukin 10 (IL-10) level in CRC patients was investigated in this study. Patients' medical records with CRC admitted to the Rizgary and Nanakali hospitals, Erbil, Iraq was analyzed as the study group compared to the healthy volunteers' control group. Seventy-one serum samples were collected, thirty-one from diagnosed CRC patients and forty from healthy controls. The concentrations of IL-10 in the sera were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The present finding showed that IL-10 Was significantly elevated in CRC patients' sera compared to the control group, suggesting confirmation of its usefulness for detecting CRC patients' prognosis. A non-significant Pearson correlation was detected between IL-10 serum levels and the CRC group's age, gender, and body mass index. Herein is the first study on the evaluation of IL-10 levels in CRC patients in Kurdistan, Iraq.

AIMS: To determine the effect of Mat Pilates on serum levels of interleukin-10 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor in women with multiple sclerosis.METHODS: Thirty women with multiple sclerosis with mild to moderate disability were recruited and randomly divided into equal Pilates training and Control groups. Patients in the training group accomplished a Pilates program three times a week for eight weeks. The Control group maintained their routine lifestyle. The serum level of interleukin-10 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor were measured before and after the protocol. The differences between groups were assessed by using analysis of covariance test to compare post-tests by considering covariate pre-tests (assuming a p-value <0.05 as significant).RESULTS: There were no significant changes in interleukin-10 (13.09±5.36 ng/ml in the Pilates training group compared to 13.21±4.76 ng/ml in the Control group, p= 0.81), whereas an increase in brain-derived neurotrophic factor was observed after eight-week Pilates training (11550.14±2619.60 ng/ml in the Pilates training group compared to 9664.35±3161.66 ng/ml in the Control group, p= 0.03).CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that the intensity and duration of this protocol was not related to significant changes in interleukin-10, but was followed by an increase in brain-derived neurotrophic factor in these patients. Based on this finding, physical activity according to the individual’s ability is recommended for patients with multiple sclerosis, in parallel with drug therapy.

e21069 Background: BEV has produced modest benefits in patients (PTS) with advanced NSCLC. Identification of positive predictors for BEV would have important implications for individual PTS and health care costs. Methods: We performed a prospective exploratory analysis to identify serum biomarkers as predictors of improved outcomes with BEV. Pre treatment sera were collected from 93 pts prior to initiation of first line treatment for advanced NSCLC. Treatment drugs, including BEV, were prescribed according to treating physician’s discretion. Seventy two serum biomarkers, relevant to angiogenesis and tumor progression, were recorded using Luminex immunobead platform. Serum levels were correlated with progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) and compared between patient treated with or without BEV containing regimens, BEV + and BEV- groups respectively. Log-rank and interaction p value tests were used to identify markers associated with longer PFS and OS in the BEV+ group but not in BEV- group. Results: Characteristics for each group were: BEV+ (n=43, median age 65 y/o, 72% smokers, 60% females, 100% non-squamous). BEV– (n=50, median age 64 y/o, 84% smokers, 50% female, 70 % non-squamous). The BEV+ group had longer PFS (5.8 vs. 3.0 mos, log-rank p= 0.039) and OS (13.1 vs. 8.5 mos, log-rank p =0.11) when compared to the BEV- group. High serum levels of these markers resulted in a differential decreased hazard in the BEV+ group: PDGF-AB/BB (interaction p <0.01 for PFS, p=0.04 for OS), FGF (interaction p=0.15 for PFS, p<0.04 for OS), tenascin-c (interaction p=0.18 for PFS, p=0.04 for OS), RANTES (interaction p=0.04 for PFS, p=0.6 for OS), epiregulin (interaction p=0.31 for PFS, p=0.04 for OS) and anti-HGF (interaction p=0.18 for PFS, p=0.03 for OS). In the BEV+ group higher levels of PDGF-AB/BB were associated with a better outcome (log-rank p=0.05 and p=0.01 for PFS and OS respectively). We did not find significant correlations between serum levels of VEGF, anti-VEGF or VEGFR and benefit from BEV. Conclusions: This exploratory analysis suggests that these biomarkers may have predictive value for BEV in NSCLC PTS and should be considered for further studies.

Due to a grim prognosis, there is an urgent need to detect pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) prior to metastasis. However, reliable diagnostic imaging methods or biomarkers for PDAC or its precursor lesions are still scarce. ADAM8, a metalloprotease-disintegrin, is highly expressed in PDAC tissue and negatively correlates with patient survival. The aim of our study was to determine the ability of ADAM8-positive extracellular vesicles (EVs) and cargo microRNAs (miRNAs) to discriminate precursor lesions or PDAC from healthy controls. In order to investigate enrichment of ADAM8 on EVs, these were isolated from serum of patients with PDAC (n = 52), precursor lesions (n = 7) and healthy individuals (n = 20). Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis and electron microscopy indicated successful preparation of EVs that were analyzed for ADAM8 by FACS. Additionally, EV cargo analyses of miRNAs from the same serum samples revealed the presence of miR-720 and miR-451 by qPCR and was validated in 20 additional PDAC samples. Statistical analyses included Wilcoxon rank test and ROC curves. FACS analysis detected significant enrichment of ADAM8 in EVs from patients with PDAC or precursor lesions compared to healthy individuals (p = 0.0005). ADAM8-dependent co-variates, miR-451 and miR-720 were also diagnostic, as patients with PDAC had significantly higher serum levels of miR-451 and lower serum levels of miR-720 than healthy controls and reached high sensitivity and specificity (AUC = 0.93 and 1.00, respectively) to discriminate PDAC from healthy control. Thus, detection of ADAM8-positive EVs and related cargo miR-720 and miR-451 may constitute a specific biomarker set for screening individuals at risk for PDAC.

Abstract Chemokines (cytokines with chemoattractant properties) can recruit different subsets of cells and therefore play an important role in the formation and maintenance of the non-neoplastic reactive infiltrate present in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). The infiltrate consisting of lymphocytes, plasma cells, histiocytes and eosinophilic granulocytes is the most abundant part of the tumor mass in HL and surrounds the minority of neoplastic cells, the so-called Hodgkin-Reed Sternberg (HRS) cells. Several studies have shown that HRS cells and cells in the reactive infiltrate produce multiple chemokines. Especially TARC (CCL17) and MDC (CCL22) are highly produced by HRS cells. Altered serum chemokine levels might be related to HL prognosis or disease activity, since immunological mechanisms are crucial in HL pathogenesis. So far, only TARC and IL-8 levels have been studied in the serum of HL patients. In this study serum levels of nine chemokines including, Eotaxin, Fractalkine, IP10, MCP1, MDC, Mig, MIP1a, RANTES, and TARC were examined in serum of 163 untreated HL patients and 334 healthy controls using ELISA. In a subset of nine patients we also examined serum chemokine levels after treatment. Serum levels of TARC and MDC were significantly increased in 82% and 57% of the HL patient group compared to 12% and 5% in the control group, respectively. Serum Fractalkine and Mig levels did not show a difference between patients and controls, whereas serum levels of Eotaxin, IP10, MCP1, MIP1a, and RANTES were significantly decreased in HL patients. Analysis of the different subtypes revealed that the Nodular Sclerosis (NS) cases contained increased serum TARC and MDC levels compared to the Mixed Cellularity (MC) cases (p-value= 0,000). Serum TARC levels strongly correlated with serum MDC levels (r=0.82, p<0.01). Of the nine patients with serum samples before and after treatment, seven showed decreased serum TARC and MDC levels after treatment. One patient with increased levels before treatment did not show decrease in chemokine levels after treatment and died of disease. The last patient did not have increased chemokine levels before treatment and showed similar low levels in both serum samples. The other chemokines did not show a difference in serum levels in the before and after treatment samples. This is the first study testing a broad set of chemokines in serum of HL patients. Of all chemokines tested, TARC and MDC were the only chemokines with increased serum levels in the vast majority of HL patients and these can be used to monitor treatment efficiency.

Although biologic therapies have changed the course of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), today’s major challenge remains to identify biomarkers to target treatments to selected patient groups. Circulating micro(mi)RNAs represent a novel class of molecular biomarkers whose expression is altered in RA. Our study aimed at quantifying miR-125b in blood and serum samples from RA patients, comparing healthy controls and patients with other forms of rheumatic diseases and arthritis, and evaluating its predictive value as biomarker for response to rituximab. Detectable levels of miR-125b were measured in total blood and serum samples and were significantly elevated in RA patients compared to osteoarthritic and healthy donors. The increase was however also found in patients with other forms of chronic inflammatory arthritis. Importantly, high serum levels of miR-125b at disease flare were associated with good clinical response to treatment with rituximab three months later (P=0.002). This predictive value was not limited to RA as it was also found in patients with B lymphomas. Our results identify circulating miR-125b as a novel miRNA over expressed in RA and suggest that serum level of miR-125b is potential predictive biomarker of response to rituximab treatment.

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the potential use of serum follistatin (FST) as a marker for ovarian cancer alongside serum cancer antigen-125 (CA-125). METHODS: Serum samples were collected from patients with ovarian cancer ( n = 45), benign ovarian cysts ( n = 40) or other cancers ( n = 100) and from healthy subjects ( n = 60) for the determination of FST and CA-125 levels using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Expression of FST in ovarian tissue was investigated using immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS: Compared with healthy subjects and patients with benign ovarian cysts, serum FST and CA-125 levels were significantly increased in patients with ovarian cancer. Using the 95% confidence interval for the healthy subjects group as the cut-off value, tumour marker sensitivity and specificity in ovarian cancer were 53.3% and 97% for FST and 77.8% and 84% for CA-125, respectively. Tissue expression of FST protein was more pronounced in ovarian cancer than in normal ovary. CONCLUSIONS: The serum FST level was elevated in the peripheral blood of patients with ovarian cancer and has potential as a tumour marker for ovarian cancer diagnosis. It may be particularly useful when combined with CA-125 detection to reduce the number of false-positive results.

ABSTRACTOsteomyelitis is a significant complication of sickle cell disease (SCD), and several factors contribute to its pathogenesis, including altered expression of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. In view of the role of interleukin-10 (IL-10) as an anti-inflammatory cytokine, we tested the notion that SCD osteomyelitis is associated with a reduction in IL-10 secretion and, hence, precipitation of a proinflammatory state. Study subjects comprised 52 SCD patients with confirmed diagnosis of osteomyelitis and 165 age- and gender-matched SCD patients with negative histories of osteomyelitis. Results obtained showed that IL-10 serum levels in SCD osteomyelitis patients were significantly lower than those of control SCD patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis demonstrated that altered IL-10 serum levels predicted the development of osteomyelitis, and the mean area under ROC curves of IL-10 was 0.810 among SCD patients with osteomyelitis. A systematic shift in IL-10 serum levels toward lower values was seen in osteomyelitis cases, with an increased osteomyelitis risk associated with decreased IL-10 levels. Multivariate logistic regression analyses confirmed the independent association of reduced IL-10 with osteomyelitis after controlling for sickle hemoglobin (HbS), fetal hemoglobin (HbF), platelet count, and white blood cell (WBC) count. These data support the strong association of decreased IL-10 levels with osteomyelitis, thereby supporting a role for IL-10 in osteomyelitis follow-up.

Community-acquired pneumonia is a common disease associated with high mortality. This retrospective study examined whether the neutrophil–lymphocyte count ratio (NLR), already widely used as an index of inflammation, can be used to predict in-hospital mortality of adults with community-acquired pneumonia. Clinical characteristics, CURB-65 and pneumonia severity index score of pneumonia severity, NLR, serum levels of C-reactive protein and procalcitonin, and in-hospital mortality were analyzed for 318 consecutive adults with community-acquired pneumonia admitted to West China Hospital between July 2012 and December 2013. The ability of NLR and other parameters to predict in-hospital mortality was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results showed that NLR increased with increasing CURB-65 ( P < 0.05) and pneumonia severity index ( P < 0.05), and NLR correlated positively with serum levels of C-reactive protein (r = 0.239, P < 0.05) and procalcitonin (r = 0.211, P < 0.05). The median value of NLR was significantly higher among patients who died in hospital (11.96) than among those who were alive at the end of hospitalization (4.19, P < 0.05). Based on a cut-off NLR of 7.12, this index predicted in-hospital mortality with a sensitivity of 82.61% and specificity of 72.20% (area under ROC curve, 0.799). Predictive power was greater for the combination of NLR and serum levels of C-reactive protein and procalcitonin. These results suggest that NLR may be useful for predicting prognosis in Chinese adults with community-acquired pneumonia, and it may work better in combination with traditional markers.
