ABSTRACT

Soy isoflavones are natural tyrosine kinase inhibitors closely associated with decreased morbidity and mortality of various tumors. The activation of tyrosine kinases such as ERBB2 is the mechanism by which cholecystitis transforms into gallbladder cancer (GBC), therefore, it is important to investigate the relationship between long-term exposure to soy isoflavones and the occurrence and progression of GBC. This case-control study (n = 85 pairs) found that the high level of plasma soy isoflavone-genistein (GEN) was associated with a lower risk of gallbladder cancer (≥326.00 ng/mL compared to ≤19.30 ng/mL, crude odds ratio 0.15, 95% CI 0.04-0.59; P for trend = 0.016), and that the level of GEN exposure negatively correlated with Ki67 expression in GBC tissue (n = 85). Consistent with these results, the proliferation of GBC cells was inhibited in the long-term exposure models of GEN in vitro and in vivo. The long-term exposure to GEN reduced the tyrosine kinase activity of ERBB2 and impaired the function of the PTK6-AKT-GSK3ß axis, leading to downregulation of the MCM complex in GBC cells. In summary, long-term exposure to GEN associated with soy products intake might play a certain role in preventing GBC and even inhibiting the proliferation of GBC cells.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The first-line chemotherapy regimen for advanced gallbladder cancer (GBC) is gemcitabine plus platinum (GP), despite its efficacy is limited. The current investigation is a retrospective study to compare the safety and efficacy between the modified FOLFIRINOX (mFOLFIRINOX) and gemcitabine plus oxaliplatin (GEMOX) as the first-line chemotherapy for unresectable locally advanced or metastatic GBC. METHODS: The data of patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic GBC, who were treated with mFOLFIRINOX or GEMOX as the first-line therapy between April 2014 and April 2018 at Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, were retrieved. This retrospective study evaluated the clinical characteristics, survival outcomes and adverse events. RESULTS: A total of 44 patients (n=25 in mFOLFIRINOX, n=19 in GEMOX) were included. There were no significant differences between groups in baseline characteristics. The median progression free survival (mPFS) was 5.0 months in the mFOLFIRINOX group and 2.5 months in the GEMOX group [P=0.021; hazard ratio (HR), 0.499; 95% CI, 0.266 to 0.937]. The median overall survival (mOS) was 9.5 months in the mFOLFIRINOX group and 7.0 months in the GEMOX group (P=0.019; HR, 0.471; 95% CI, 0.239 to 0.929). Disease control rate (DCR) was 76.0% in the mFOLFIRINOX group and 47.4% in the GEMOX group (P=0.051). The rate of grade 3-4 adverse events was 48% in the mFOLFIRINOX group and 36.8% in the GEMOX group (P=0.459). The incidence of grade 3-4 neutropenia and diarrhea were more common in the mFOLFIRINOX group, while the incidence of grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia and peripheral neuropathy were more common in the GEMOX group. CONCLUSIONS: mFOLFIRINOX might improve the poor prognosis of unresectable locally advanced or metastatic GBC, and the results need to be further verified by prospective clinical studies.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Gemcitabine plus platinum as the first-line chemotherapy for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) has limited efficacy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of modified FOLFIRINOX (mFOLFIRINOX) compared to that of gemcitabine plus oxaliplatin (Gemox) for patients with locally advanced or metastatic CCA. METHODS: From January 2016 to December 2019, consecutive patients who were diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic CCA were treated with either mFOLFIRINOX or Gemox as a first-line chemotherapy. The main endpoint was Progression free survival (PFS). The second endpoints were Overall survival (OS), Disease control rate (DCR) and incidence of severe toxicity (grade 3-4). Tumors were evaluated at baseline and thence every 4-6 weeks. The study was designed and carried out in accordance with the principles of the declaration of Helsinki, approved by the Ethics Committee of Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine (XHEC-D-2020-154) and registered with ClinicalTrials.gov , number NCT04305288 (registration date: 12/03/2020). RESULTS: Of 49 patients in this study, 27 were in the FOLFIRINOX regimen group and 22 in the Gemox regimen group. There were no significant differences between groups in baseline characteristics. The DCR was 77.8% in the mFOLFIRINOX group and 63.5% in the Gemox group. The corresponding median PFS was 9.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 7.3-12.4) in the mFOLFIRINOX group versus 6.4 months (95% CI,3.6-9.2, p = 0.040) in the Gemox group. The corresponding median OS was 15.7 months (95% CI, 12.5-19.0) versus 12.0 months (95% CI, 9.3-14.8, p = 0.099). Significantly more grade 3-4 vomiting occurred in the mFOLFIRINOX than the Gemox groups (7 (25.9%) vs 1 (4.5%), p = 0.044). CONCLUSIONS: First-line mFOLFIRINOX offered more promising results in patients with advanced or metastatic CCA.
