CC趋化因子受体4及其抑制剂研究进展

CC趋化因子受体4（CCR4）是G蛋白偶联受体家族成员之一,由包含7次跨膜结构域的多肽链组成,表达于多种细胞或组织中。CCR4通过与其内源性配体CCL17、CCL22及CKLF1作用介导多种炎症反应,尤其在哮喘发生和发展的病理过程中起重要作用,因此可能是某些炎性疾病、特别是哮喘的潜在治疗靶点。本文对CCR4及其抑制剂的研究进展做一综述。     

负载抗原的DC与CIK共培养对耐药乳腺癌细胞的杀伤作用

目的:观察负载抗原的树突状细胞(dendritic cell,DC)与细胞因子诱导的杀伤细胞(cytokine-induced killer cell,CIK)对高表达P-糖蛋白(P-glycoprotein,P-gp)的多药耐药(multidrug resistance,MDR)人乳腺癌MCF-7/ADR细胞的杀伤作用。方法:提取健康人外周血单个核细胞,常规诱导出CIK及DC;制备MCF-7/ADR细胞冻融抗原后冲击DC,并与CIK共培养作为实验组(冻融物DC-CIK组),未负载抗原的DC与CIK共培养作为对照组(DC-CIK组),同时设单独培养的CIK组或DC组作为空白对照组。流式细胞术分析细胞的表型及P-gp表达,ELISA法测定细胞上清中IL-12、IFN-γ水平,MTT法检测对MCF-7/ADR及MCF-7细胞株的杀伤活性。结果:冻融物DC-CIK组、DC-CIK组细胞增殖活性均大于CIK组(P<0.05)。冻融物DC-CIK组对MCF-7/ADR、MCF-7细胞的杀伤活性在效靶比10∶1、20∶1、40∶1时分别为(44.29±1.39)%、(58.24±3.52)%、(68.9±2.83)%和(33.51±2.18)、(40.43±2.3)%、(44.62±1.19)%,均高于DC-CIK组及CIK组(P<0.05);冻融物DC-CIK组对MCF-7/ADR耐药细胞株的杀伤活性高于非耐药细胞株MCF7(P<0.05);而对于非耐药株MCF-7细胞的杀伤活性,冻融物DC-CIK组和DC-CIK组之间差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论:DC与CIK共培养细胞增殖活性和细胞毒活性均强于CIK,经冻融抗原冲击的DC与CIK共培养可以显著提高对MCF-7/ADR耐药细胞株的杀伤活性。

Ki-67, cyclin E, and p16INK4 are complimentary surrogate biomarkers for human papilloma virus-related cervical neoplasia.

Prior studies of Ki-67, cyclin E, and p16 expression have suggested that these biomarkers may be preferentially expressed in cervical neoplasia. This study examined and compared the distribution of staining for these three antigens in 1) normal and reactive epithelial changes, 2) diagnostically challenging cases (atypical metaplasia and atypical atrophy), 3) squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL), and 4) high-and low-risk human papilloma virus (HPV) type-specific SIL. One hundred four epithelial foci from 99 biopsies were studied, including low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL; 24), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL; 36), mature or immature (metaplastic) squamous epithelium (29), and atrophic or metaplastic epithelium with atypia (15). Cases were scored positive for Ki-67 expression if expression extended above the basal one third of the epithelium, for cyclin E if moderate to strong staining was present, and for p16 if moderate to strong diffuse or focal staining was present. HPV status was scored by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis of extracted DNA. Immunohistochemical findings were correlated with histologic and viral data. Overall, a histologic diagnosis of SIL correlated strongly with all of the biomarkers used (p <0.001). Positive scores for Ki-67, cyclin E, and p16 were seen in 68.4%, 96.7%, and 100% of LSILs and 94.7%, 91.6%, and 100% of HSILs, respectively. Positive predictive values of these three biomarkers for HPV were 82.4%, 89.5%, and 91.4%, respectively. The positive predictive value for HPV of either cyclin E or p16 was 88.7%. Strong diffuse staining for p16 was significantly associated with high-risk HPV-associated lesions. Normal or reactive epithelial changes scored positive for the three biomarkers in 7.7%, 8.0%, and 12%, respectively. Limitations in specificity included minimal or no suprabasal staining for Ki-67 in immature condylomas and occasional suprabasal staining of reactive epithelial changes (10%), diffuse weak nuclear cyclin E staining in some normal or metaplastic epithelia, and diffuse weak basal p16 staining and occasional stronger focal positivity in normal epithelia. Ki-67, cyclin E, and p16 are complementary surrogate biomarkers for HPV-related preinvasive squamous cervical disease. (Because cyclin E and p16 are most sensitive for LSIL and HSIL [including high-risk HPV], respectively, use of these biomarkers in combination for resolving diagnostic problems, with an appreciation of potential background staining, is recommended.)     

Antihypertensive Efficacy of Candesartan in Comparison to Losartan: The CLAIM Study

An 8-week, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, forced-titration study was conducted to evaluate the antihypertensive efficacy of candesartan vs. losartan in 654 hypertensive patients with a diastolic blood pressure between 95 and 114 mm Hg from 72 sites throughout the U.S. Eligible patients were randomized to candesartan cilexetil 16 mg once daily, or losartan 50 mg once daily. Two weeks following randomization, patients doubled the respective doses of their angiotensin receptor blockers for an additional 6 weeks. At week 8, candesartan cilexetil lowered trough systolic/diastolic blood pressure by a significantly greater amount than did losartan (13.3/10.9 mm Hg with candesartan cilexetil vs. 9.8/8.7 mm Hg with losartan; p < 0.001). At the same period, candesartan cilexetil also lowered peak blood pressure by a significantly greater amount than did losartan (15.2 to 11.6 mm Hg with candesartan cilexetil vs. 12.6 to 10.1 mm Hg with losartan; p < 0.05). There were statistically significantly ( p < 0.05) higher proportions of responders and controlled patients in the candesartan cilexetil group (62.4% and 56.0%, respectively) than in the losartan group (54.0% and 46.9%, respectively). Both treatment regimens were well tolerated; 1.8% in the candesartan cilexetil group and 1.6% in the losartan group withdrew because of adverse events. In conclusion, this forced-titration study confirms that candesartan cilexetil is more effective than losartan in lowering blood pressure when both are administered once daily at maximum doses. Both drugs were well tolerated.
