肿瘤细胞与血管内皮细胞相互作用及丹参干预作用

肿瘤转移的复杂机制在于肿瘤细胞与各种宿主细胞之间发生的广泛作用,而肿瘤能否建立转移则取决于肿瘤细胞诱导并利用宿主细胞协助自身发展的能力。其中肿瘤与血管内皮细胞间的相互作用在支持肿瘤血行转移中扮演了重要角色。研究表明活血化瘀药丹参对这一过程具有多成分、多环节的抑制作用,为以肿瘤细胞与血管内皮细胞相互作用为靶点的抗肿瘤候选药物研发提供参考。     

中药饮片质量标准研究中的几个关键问题

中药饮片质量标准是中药炮制研究的重要内容,也是整个中药标准化体系的关键环节。尽管中药饮片有了国家标准,但是中药饮片标准化水平仍然处于较低水平。在中药饮片质量标准研究中,还存在一些实际问题需要我们加以重视和思考。本文结合作者长期的研究和生产实践,提出在中药饮片质量标准研究中要更加注重和传统炮制理论、炮制机理研究与药效物质研究的结合,努力构建更加全面、科学、合理的中药饮片质量标准。

灯盏乙素抗肿瘤作用机制研究进展

灯盏乙素是从菊科植物短莛飞蓬Erigeron breviscapus（灯盏花）中提取得到的黄酮类化合物。作为其最主要的有效成分,灯盏乙素具有抗炎、抗氧化、抗纤维化、抗胆固醇血症、抗心肌梗死等药理活性。近年来,其抗肿瘤作用被逐渐发现并受到广泛关注。研究发现灯盏乙素能显著抑制非小细胞肺癌、结直肠癌、肝癌、黑色素瘤、骨髓瘤、宫颈癌、乳腺癌、卵巢癌、前列腺癌等癌症的发生发展。其抗肿瘤作用机制包括抑制肿瘤细胞增殖、促进肿瘤细胞凋亡、阻碍肿瘤侵袭和迁移、减轻肿瘤炎症反应、增强抗肿瘤药物敏感性等多个方面,在抗肿瘤治疗领域具有巨大开发潜力。结合文献,针对灯盏乙素抗肿瘤作用机制进行综述,以期为进一步的研究和应用提供参考。     

IL‐27 improves adoptive CD8+ T cells’ antitumor activity via enhancing cell survival and memory T cell differentiation

IL‐27 is an anti‐inflammatory cytokine that triggers enhanced antitumor immunity, particularly cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses. In the present study, we sought to develop IL‐27 into a therapeutic adjutant for adoptive T cell therapy using our well‐established models. We have found that IL‐27 directly improved the survival status and cytotoxicity of adoptive OT‐1 CD8⁺ T cells in vitro and in vivo. Meanwhile, IL‐27 treatment programs memory T cell differentiation in CD8⁺ T cells, characterized by upregulation of genes associated with T cell memory differentiation (T‐bet, Eomes, Blimp1, and Ly6C). Additionally, we engineered the adoptive OT‐1 CD8⁺ T cells to deliver IL‐27. In mice, the established tumors treated with OT‐1 CD8⁺ T‐IL‐27 were completely rejected, which demonstrated that IL‐27 delivered via tumor antigen–specific T cells enhances adoptive T cells’ cancer immunity. To our knowledge, this is the first application of CD8⁺ T cells as a vehicle to deliver IL‐27 to treat tumors. Thus, this study demonstrates IL‐27 is a feasible approach for enhancing CD8⁺ T cells’ antitumor immunity and can be used as a therapeutic adjutant for T cell adoptive transfer to treat cancer.     

Comparison of the safety and prognosis of sequential regorafenib after sorafenib and lenvatinib treatment failure in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma: a retrospective cohort study

BackgroundThere is lack of studies on sequential regorafenib after sorafenib and lenvatinib treatment failure in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study was to explore the safety and prognosis of sequential regorafenib after sorafenib and lenvatinib failure in HCC patients.MethodsThis study was a retrospective, real-world study that included 50 HCC patients who received sequential regrafinib after sorafenib and lenvatinib failure. The safety and prognosis of two groups were compared.ResultsThe incidence of all grade and III/IV adverse events were 68% and 24%. According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) 1.1 and modified (m) RECIST standards, the objective response rates (ORRs) after receiving regorafenib were 14.0% and 22.0%, respectively. The disease control rates (DCRs) were 62.0% and 60.0%, respectively. Based on different first-line targeted drugs, 50 patients were divided into sorafenib (n=22) and lenvatinib group (n=28). There was no differences between two groups except age and bilirubin. And there was no differences in other treatments before or after regorafenib. The baseline between two groups was basically same and had good comparability. There was no difference in incidence of all grade and III/IV adverse events, ORR and DCR between two groups (P>0.05). On long-term prognosis, total overall survival (TOS) in sorafenib and lenvatinib group were 23.0 (95% CI: 15.1–30.9) vs. 29.7 (95% CI: 21.4–38.1) months. The difference was statistically significant (P=0.041). Besides, regorafenib overall survival (ROS) in sorafenib and lenvatinib group were 11.7 (95% CI: 7.1–16.3) vs. 15.9 (95% CI: 8.3–23.5) months. The difference was statistically significant ( P=0.045). The regorafenib progression-free survival (RPFS) was 5.6 (95% CI: 1.9–9.2) vs. 8.0 (95% CI: 5.1–10.9) months in sorafenib and lenvatinib group, respectively, and difference was not statistically significant (P=0.380).ConclusionsRegorafenib is an effective drug for second-line treatment of HCC, with fewer severe adverse events, ORR and DCR was 14–22% and 62–60%, respectively. Both TOS and ROS in lenvatinib group were better than those in sorafenib group. For HCC patients whose first-line targeted drug is lenvatinib, it is safe and effective to accept regorafenib after disease progresses.
