ABSTRACT

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common malignancies in men worldwide, and metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) has shown a poor prognosis. Although chemotherapy and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) have improved clinical outcomes, the median survival (MS) of patients with mCRPC is still less than 2 years. With the development of poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase inhibitor (PARPi), the treatment strategy for patients with mCRPC has markedly evolved. Olaparib, a type of PARPi that can selectively induce synthetic lethality in cancer cells with homologous recombination (HR) deficiencies, was the first type of PARPi approved for treating patients with mCRPC harboring mutations in HR repair (HRR) genes. This review discusses and summarizes the latest progress on therapeutic mechanisms, monotherapy, combination therapy, and adverse events of Olaparib.

ABSTRACT

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common types of malignancy and is associated with high mortality. Prior research suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a crucial role in the development of HCC. Therefore, it is necessary to identify lncRNA-associated therapeutic biomarkers to improve the accuracy of HCC prognosis. Transcriptomic data of HCC obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were used in the present study. Differentially expressed RNAs (DERNAs), including 74 lncRNAs, 16 miRNAs, and 35 mRNAs, were identified using bioinformatics analysis. The DERNAs were subsequently used to reconstruct a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. A lncRNA signature was revealed using Cox regression analysis, including LINC00200, MIR137HG, LINC00462, AP002478.1, and HTR2A-AS1. Kaplan-Meier plot demonstrated that the lncRNA signature is highly accurate in discriminating high- and low-risk patients (P < 0.05). The area under curve (AUC) value exceeded 0.7 in both training and validation cohort, suggesting a high prognostic potential of the signature. Furthermore, multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that both the TNM stage and the lncRNA signature could serve as independent prognostic factors for HCC (P < 0.05). Then, a nomogram comprising the TNM stage and the lncRNA signature was determined to raise the accuracy in predicting the survival of HCC patients. In the present study, we have introduced a ceRNA network that could contribute to provide a new insight into the identification of potential regulation mechanisms for the development of HCC. The five-lncRNA signature could serve as a reliable biosignature for HCC prognosis, while the nomogram possesses strong potential in clinical applications.

ABSTRACT

Lenzites betulina has been recognized as a rich source of chemical components, including polysaccharides, sterides and sugar alcohols. In this study, cellulase-ultrasonic synergistic extraction method was applied to extract polysaccharides from L. betulina, and the response surface methodology was used to optimize the extraction conditions. The eight basic factors affecting extraction yield were evaluated by Plackett-Burman design (PBD). Then, the four important factors significantly affecting the yield of polysaccharides from L. betulina, including enzymolysis temperature, enzymolysis time, ultrasound time and ultrasound temperature, were optimized by Box-Behnken design (BBD). Maximum extraction yield of L. betulina polysaccharides was 13.64±0.09 % at a cellulase dosage of 0.8 %, enzymolysis temperature of 60 °C, enzymolysis time of 180 min, pH of 4.5, liquid-solid ratio of 45 ml/g, ultrasound power of 300 W, ultrasound time of 20 min and ultrasound temperature of 45 °C. Subsequently, the characteristic structure of crude polysaccharides was determined by FT-IR. Results indicated that cellulase-ultrasonic synergistic treatment is suitable for L. betulina polysaccharides extraction, and it has good prospect for development and utilization.
