The tumor microenvironment may trigger lymphoproliferation in cardiac myxoma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cardiac myxomas (CM) and primary cardiac lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) are rare primary cardiac neoplasms. The composite occurrence of LPD in CM has been occasionally reported, and chronic inflammation in response to viral infection has been suggested to be at the basis of oncogenesis. Cancers can upregulate autophagy to endure microenvironmental stress and to increase local growth and aggressiveness. CM exhibit a dichotomous separation in low and high inflammatory grades (LIG vs. HIG). We studied 23 CMs using autophagy-related proteins and NanoString technology for gene expression. Autophagy-related proteins (Beclin-1, LAMP-1, LC3, and p62) were demonstrated in both tumor and stromal cells. ATG genes showed a progression of involvement in CM using an 8-gene signature. They were associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) encoded latent membrane protein 1 (EBV LMP1) activation. We suggest that CM can upregulate autophagy, creating a favorable environment for EBV-driven oncogenesis. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to report on the TME using the expression of autophagy-related genes and proteins in CM. The microenvironment of CM is dynamic, with a variety of cell types and different molecular pathways at play, and this study may clearly warrant further investigation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
