  • Verotoxin-1 Treatment or Manipulation of its Receptor Globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) for Reversal of Multidrug Resistance to Cancer Chemotherapy

    • A major problem with anti-cancer drug treatment is the development of acquired multidrug resistance (MDR) of the tumor cells. Verotoxin-1 (VT-1) exerts its cytotoxicity by targeting the globotriaosylceramide membrane receptor (Gb3), a glycolipid associated with multidrug resistance. Gb3 is overexpressed in many human tumors and tumor cell lines with inherent or acquired MDR. Gb3 is co-expressed and interplays with the membrane efflux transporter P-gp encoded by the MDR1 gene. P-gp could act as a lipid flippase and stimulate Gb3 induction when tumor cells are exposed to cancer chemotherapy. Recent work has shown that apoptosis and inherent or acquired multidrug resistance in Gb3-expressing tumors could be affected by VT-1 holotoxin, a sub-toxic concentration of the holotoxin concomitant with chemotherapy or its Gb3-binding B-subunit coupled to cytotoxic or immunomodulatory drug, as well as chemical manipulation of Gb3 expression. The interplay between Gb3 and P-gp thus gives a possible physiological approach to augment the chemotherapeutic effect in multidrug resistant tumors.

  • Blood sampling guidelines with focus on patient safety and identification : a review
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: Diagnosis. - : Walter de Gruyter. - 2194-8011 .- 2194-802X. ; 6:1, s. 33-37

    • It has been well documented over recent years that the preanalytical phase is a leading contributor to errors in the total testing process (TTP). There has however been great progress made in recent years due to the exponential growth of working groups specialising in the field. Patient safety is clearly at the forefront of any healthcare system and any reduction in errors at any stage will improve patient safety. Venous blood collection is a key step in the TTP, and here we review the key errors that occur in venous phlebotomy process and summarise the evidence around their significance to patient safety. Recent studies have identified that patient identification and tube labelling are the steps that carry the highest risk with regard to patient safety. Other studies have shown that in 16.1% of cases, patient identification is incorrectly performed and that 56% of patient identification errors are due to poor labelling practice. We recommend that patient identification must be done using open questions and ideally three separate pieces of information. Labelling of the tube or linking the identity of the patient to the tube label electronically must be done in the presence of the patient whether it is before or after sampling. Combined this will minimise any chance of patient misidentification.

  • The role of European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine Working Group for Preanalytical Phase in standardization and harmonization of the preanalytical phase in Europe
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: Annals of Clinical Biochemistry. - : SAGE Publications. - 0004-5632 .- 1758-1001. ; 53:5, s. 539-547

    • Patient safety is a leading challenge in healthcare and from the laboratory perspective it is now well established that preanalytical errors are the major contributor to the overall rate of diagnostic and therapeutic errors. To address this, the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine Working Group for Preanalytical Phase (EFLM WG-PRE) was established to lead in standardization and harmonization of preanalytical policies and practices at a European level. One of the key activities of the WG-PRE is the organization of the biennial EFLM-BD conference on the preanalytical phase to provide a forum for National Societies (NS) to discuss their issues. Since 2012, a year after the first Preanalytical phase conference, there has been a rapid growth in the number of NS with a working group engaged in preanalytical phase activities and there are now at least 19 countries that have one. As a result of discussions with NS at the third conference held in March 2015 five key areas were identified as requiring harmonisation. These were test ordering, sample transport and storage, patient preparation, sampling procedures and management of unsuitable specimens. The article below summarises the work that has and will be done in these areas. The goal of this initiative is to ensure the EFLM WG-PRE produces work that meets the needs of the European laboratory medicine community. Progress made in the identified areas will be updated at the next preanalytical phase conference and show that we have produced guidance that has enhanced standardisation in the preanalytical phase and improved patient safety throughout Europe.

  • Preanalytical aspects on short- and long-term storage of serum and plasma
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: Diagnosis. - : Walter de Gruyter. - 2194-8011 .- 2194-802X. ; 6:1, s. 51-56

    • Following an ordered clinical chemistry plasma/serum test, ideally the venous blood specimen is adequately collected at a health care facility, then swiftly transported to and readily handled, analyzed and sometimes interpreted at a clinical chemistry laboratory followed by a report of the test result to the ordering physician to finally handle the result. However, often there are practical as well as sample quality reasons for short-or long-term storage of samples before and after analysis. If there are specific storage needs, the preanalytical handling practices are specified in the laboratory's specimen collection instructions for the ordered test analyte. Biobanking of specimens over a very long time prior to analysis includes an often neglected preanalytical challenge for preserved quality of the blood specimen and also involves administrative and additional practical handling aspects (specified in a standard operating procedure SOP) when demands and considerations from academic, industry, research organizations and authorities are included. This short review highlights some preanalytical aspects of plasma/serum short-and long-term storage that must be considered by clinicians, laboratory staff as well as the researchers.

  • Liquid biopsies in lung cancer : time to implement research technologies in routine care?
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: Annals of Translational Medicine. - : AME Publishing Company. - 2305-5839 .- 2305-5847. ; 5:13

    • Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality. A substantial progress in the understanding of lung cancer biology has resulted in several promising targeted therapies for advanced disease. Druggable targets today include point mutations such as EGFR, BRAF and re-arrangements in genes such as ALK and ROS1. Liquid biopsies collecting e.g., circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) reflects overall tumor information and is not biased by analyzing of only a small fraction of the tumor and is always accessible in contrast to the lung cancer tissue. Technological advances in detection of low frequency mutation variants in ctDNA have made it the dominating liquid biopsy platform in terms of utility and sensitivity. Circulating DNA or RNA may possible be used to define populations with higher risk of developing lung cancer, thus reducing screening cohorts and increasing the positive predictive value of screening. Blood based-tests may also aid to identify genetic alterations several weeks prior to radiologically verified recurrence and may be of great value in the follow-up of lung cancer patients. Besides being an alternative to invasive biopsies in selected cases, liquid biopsies offer a unique possibility to monitor treatment response following medical treatment as well as treatment response and resistance development after targeted therapy, giving a possibility to modify the treatment after the genetic profile of the tumor. Ideally, genetic alterations found in ctDNA could be tracked in real-time discriminating between fast-growing life-threatening tumors from more indolent slow growing tumors or premalignant growth that are of no concern for the wellbeing of the patient. This review focuses on future perspectives of liquid biopsies in lung cancer care for different clinical settings and present current technological platforms for further discussion of possible strategies for implementation of liquid biopsies in lung cancer.

  • Sample transportation : an overview
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: Diagnosis. - : Walter de Gruyter. - 2194-8011 .- 2194-802X. ; 6:1, s. 39-43

    • Transportation of blood samples is a major part of the preanalytical pathway and can be crucial in delaying laboratory results to the clinicians. A variety of aspects however makes sample transportation a complex, challenging and often overlooked task that needs thorough planning and dedicated resources. The purpose of this review is to outline the options available for this task and to emphasize the preanalytical aspects that need consideration in this process, e.g. performance specifications for sample transportation as stated in ISO standards 15189 and 20658, quality control of automated transportation systems, monitoring of sample integrity parameters and temperature surveillance in general and for external samplers in particular. All these are tasks that the laboratory must assure on a daily basis in terms of continuous quality control, and simultaneously the laboratory must remain alert to alterations in clinical demands (sample frequency, turn-around-times) and new regulations within this area (e.g. the recent General Data Protection Regulation from the EU).

  • Raccomandazione congiunta EFLM-COLABIOCLI per il prelievo di sangue venoso : [Joint EFLM-COLABIOCLI recommendation for venous blood sampling]
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: Biochimica Clinica. - 0393-0564 .- 0392-7091. ; 43:2, s. 204-227
  • Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This document provides a joint recommendation for venous blood sampling of the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM) Working Group for Preanalytical Phase (WG-PRE) and Latin American Working Group for Preanalytical Phase (WG-PRE-LATAM) of the Latin America Confederation of Clinical Biochemistry (COLABIOCLI). It offers guidance on the requirements for ensuring that blood collection is a safe and patient-centered procedure and provides practical guidance on how to successfully overcome potential barriers and obstacles to its widespread implementation. The target audience for this recommendation are healthcare staff members directly involved in blood collection. This recommendation applies to the use of a closed blood collection system and does not provide guidance for the blood collection with an open needle and syringe and catheter collections. Moreover, this document neither addresses patient consent, test ordering, sample handling and transport nor collection from children and unconscious patients. The recommended procedure is based on the best available evidence. Each step was graded using a system that scores the quality of the evidence and the strength of the recommendation. The process of grading was done at several face-to-face meetings involving the same mixture of stakeholders stated previously. The main parts of this recommendation are: 1) Pre-sampling procedures, 2) Sampling procedure, 3) Postsampling procedures and 4) Implementation. A first draft of the recommendation was circulated to EFLM members for public consultation. WG-PRE-LATAM was also invited to comment the document. A revised version has been sent for voting on to all EFLM and COLABIOCLI members and has been officially endorsed by 33/40 EFLM and 21/21 COLABIOCLI members. We encourage professionals throughout Europe and Latin America to adopt and implement this recommendation to improve the quality of blood collection practices and increase patient and workers safety.
