肝内胆管癌转化治疗

肝内胆管癌（ICC）可切除率低，进展期ICC的治疗有效率不高，预后很差。转化治疗在多种晚期肿瘤中有一定的疗效，是目前晚期肿瘤治疗的研究热点。随着对ICC基因组的深入了解和新的治疗药物的开发及组合，基于系统化疗的联合治疗策略，精准靶向治疗，免疫检查点抑制剂等显示出较好的疗效，使得部分进展期ICC病人能降期转化手术，获得长期生存。     

Evodiamine-inspired dual inhibitors of histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) and topoisomerase 2 (TOP2) with potent antitumor activity

A great challenge in multi-targeting drug discovery is to identify drug-like lead compounds with therapeutic advantages over single target inhibitors and drug combinations. Inspired by our previous efforts in designing antitumor evodiamine derivatives, herein selective histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) and topoisomerase 2 (TOP2) dual inhibitors were successfully identified, which showed potent in vitro and in vivo antitumor potency. Particularly, compound 30a was orally active and possessed excellent in vivo antitumor activity in the HCT116 xenograft model (TGI = 75.2%, 150 mg/kg, p.o.) without significant toxicity, which was more potent than HDAC inhibitor vorinostat, TOP inhibitor evodiamine and their combination. Taken together, this study highlights the therapeutic advantages of evodiamine-based HDAC1/TOP2 dual inhibitors and provides valuable leads for the development of novel multi-targeting antitumor agents.     

糖尿病小鼠小肠绒毛杯状细胞分泌黏原颗粒的变化

目的：观察糖尿病小鼠小肠绒毛杯状细胞分泌的黏原颗粒是否改变,为进一步研究糖尿病的消化系统并发症提供形态学基础。方法分别选取3,5,8,10月龄db/db糖尿病小鼠及相应年龄段的db/+m正常小鼠,每组6只,标本用4%多聚甲醛灌流固定后,从距Treitz韧带约10 cm处切下一段空肠,用PAS染色方法对小肠杯状细胞分泌的黏原颗粒进行观察。结果糖尿病组小肠绒毛易被破坏,糖尿病组中杯状细胞的分泌物比同月份正常对照组显著增加(P<0.05)；糖尿病组中3月龄的杯状细胞分泌物最多,8月龄最少,并且8月龄分别与3月龄、5月龄比较均存在着显著差异(P<0.05)；正常对照组随月龄增长无显著性差异(P>0.05)。结论糖尿病时杯状细胞分泌物增多可能对小肠绒毛有保护作用。

Novel HLA-A2-restricted human metapneumovirus epitopes reduce viral titers in mice and are recognized by human T cells

Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality from acute lower respiratory tract illness, with most individuals seropositive by age five. Despite the presence of neutralizing antibodies, secondary infections are common and can be severe in young, elderly, and immunocompromised persons. Preclinical vaccine studies for HMPV have suggested a need for a balanced antibody and T cell immune response to enhance protection and avoid lung immunopathology. We infected transgenic mice expressing human HLA-A*0201 with HMPV and used ELISPOT to screen overlapping and predicted epitope peptides. We identified six novel HLA-A2 restricted CD8⁺ T cell (T_CD8) epitopes, with M_39–47 (M39) immunodominant. Tetramer staining detected M39-specific T_CD8 in lungs and spleen of HMPV-immune mice. Immunization with adjuvant-formulated M39 peptide reduced lung virus titers upon challenge. Finally, we show that T_CD8 from HLA-A*0201 positive humans recognize M39 by IFNγ ELISPOT and tetramer staining. These results will facilitate HMPV vaccine development and human studies.
