Really? Decadron can worsen mortality in GBMs? This week Karl and I go over the evidence showing that steroids might not be the best thing for GBM patients. Specifically, it looks like dexamethasone might interfere with the effectiveness of chemo and radiation, leading to worse outcomes. Literature Referenced: Opinion paper that summarizes the argument against using Decadron in GBM patients: Wong, E., Swanson, K. (2019). Dexamethasone—Friend or Foe for Patients With Glioblastoma? JAMA Neurology 76(3) https://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jamaneurol.2018.4530 Retrospective post-hoc comparison of Decadron dose in NovoTTF vs. best physician’s choice (BPC) chemo.Patients were dichotomized to > or < 4mg/day. Improved survival seen in low Decadron dose group. NovoTTF patients: median OS 4.8mo vs. 11.0mo, BPC chemo patients: 6.0mo vs. 8.9mo (effect seemed to be more profound in TTF group). Wong, E., Lok, E., Gautam, S., Swanson, K. (2015). Dexamethasone exerts profound immunologic interference on treatment efficacy for recurrent glioblastoma British Journal of Cancer 113(2), 232-41. https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/bjc.2015.238 A combination of 3 retrospective human patient cohorts and a mouse model of GBM looking at the correlation of Decadron with survival after RT. Also compared VEGF inhibitor in mouse model.Found worsening mortality associated with Decadron in all 3 cohorts using a multivariate model. In mouse model, Decadron made radiation therapy ineffective. VEGF inhibitors were able to control edema without worsening outcome.

(2016). Corticosteroids compromise survival in glioblastoma Brain 139(5), 1458-1471. https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/brain/aww046 First reference in the literature I could find to this effect.Tested the effects of adding dex to human glioma cell cultures, treated with vincristine, cytarabine, methotrexate (MTX), and adriamycin. Found that decadron attenuated the effect of all tested chemo agents. Weller, M., Schmidt, C., Roth, W., Dichgans, J. (1997). Chemotherapy of human malignant glioma: Prevention of efficacy by dexamethasone? Neurology 48(6), 1704-1709. https://dx.doi.org/10.1212/wnl.48.6.1704 Developed findings from Weller (1997) to look at mechanisms.

Included two cohorts: Cohort A - asymptomatic, Cohort B - symptomatic, taking Decadron. Cohort B survived longer. Was this due to worse disease, or the Decadron treatment?

Ute Hentschel is a professor of chemical ecology at the University of Würzburg in Germany. Her research focuses on characterizing the microbial communities associated with marine sponges, the diversity of these symbionts and their activities. On this episode, I talk with Ute Hentschel about her research on the microbes that live on and in sea sponges – those squishy, colorful residents of coral reefs. Dr. Hentschel describes some of the utterly unique microbes that are only found in sponges, what those microbes get from living in a sponge hotel, and why it’s nice to have a study site in the Bahamas.

M., Das, D., Avgerinos, K., Hentschel, M., Goetzl, E. J., Mattson, M. P., Kapogiannis, D. Abstract: We have previously shown that blood astrocytic-origin extracellular vesicles (AEVs) from Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients contain high complement levels. To test the hypothesis that circulating EVs from AD patients can induce complement-mediated neurodegeneration, we assessed the neurotoxicity of immunocaptured AEVs (with anti-GLAST antibody), neuronal-origin NEVs (with anti-L1CAM antibody), and multicellular-origin (with anti-CD81 antibody) EVs from the plasma of AD, frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and control participants. AEVs (and, less effectively, NEVs) of AD participants induced Membrane Attack Complex (MAC) expression on recipient neurons, membrane disruption, reduced neurite density, and decreased cell viability in rat cortical neurons and human IPSC-derived neurons. Neurodegenerative effects were not produced by multicellular-origin EVs from AD participants or AEVs/NEVs from FTLD or control participants, and were suppressed by the MAC inhibitor CD59 and other complement inhibitors. Our results support the stated hypothesis and suggest that neuronal MAC deposition is necessary for AEV/NEV-mediated neurodegeneration in AD. Copy rights belong to original authors.
