RESUMO

Immune checkpoint molecules are a group of molecules expressed on the surface of immune cells that primarily regulate their immune homeostasis. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is an immunotherapeutic technology that realizes tumor-targeted killing by constructing synthetic T cells expressing specific antigens through biotechnology. Currently, CAR-T cell therapy has achieved good efficacy in non-solid tumors, but its treatment of solid tumors has not yielded the desired results. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) combined with CAR-T cell therapy is a novel combination therapy with high expectations to defeat solid tumors. This review addresses the challenges and expectations of this combination therapy in the treatment of solid tumors.

RESUMO

The research on targeted therapy of hypopharyngeal cancer is very scarce. The discovery of new targeted driver genes will promote the progress of hypopharyngeal cancer therapy to a great extent. In our research, whole-exome sequencing in 10 patients with hypopharyngeal cancer was performed to identify single nucleotide variations (SNVs) and insertions and deletions (INDELs). American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines were used to evaluate the pathogenicity of the selected variants. 8113 mutation sites in 5326 genes were identified after strict screening. We identified 72 pathogenic mutations in 53 genes according to the ACMG guidelines. Gene Ontology (GO) annotation and KEGG enrichment analysis show the effect of these genes on cancer. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) was analyzed by string online software. The validation results of the ualcan database showed that 22 of the 53 genes may be related to the poor prognosis of patients with hypopharyngeal cancer. RBM20 has the most significant correlation with hypopharyngeal cancer, and it is likely to be the driver gene of hypopharyngeal cancer. In conclusion, we found possible therapeutic targets for hypopharyngeal cancer, especially RBM20 and KMT2C. Our study provides a basis for the pathogenesis and targeted therapy of hypopharyngeal cancer.

RESUMO

Previous studies have shown that tumors under a hypoxic environment can induce an important hypoxia-responsive element, hypoxia-induced factor-1α (HIF-1α), which can increase tumor migration, invasion, and metastatic ability by promoting epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in tumor cells. Currently, with the deeper knowledge of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), more and more functions of lncRNAs have been discovered. HIF-1α can regulate hypoxia-responsive lncRNAs under hypoxic conditions, and changes in the expression level of lncRNAs can regulate the production of EMT transcription factors and signaling pathway transduction, thus promoting EMT progress. In conclusion, this review summarizes the regulation of the EMT process by HIF-1α and lncRNAs and discusses their relationship with tumorigenesis. Since HIF-1α plays an important role in tumor progression, we also summarize the current drugs that inhibit tumor progression by modulating HIF-1α.

RESUMO

Background: The genome map of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is complex. In order to explore whether circulating tumor cell DNA (ctDNA) can be used as the basis for sequencing and use ctDNA to find tumor related biomarkers, we analyzed the mutant genes of ctDNA in patients with liver cancer by sequencing. Methods: We used next-generation targeted sequencing technology to identify mutations in patients with liver cancer. The ctDNA from 10 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (including eight cases of primary hepatocellular carcinoma and two cases of secondary hepatocellular carcinoma) was sequenced. We used SAMtools to detect and screen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertion deletion mutations (INDELs) and ANNOVAR to annotate the structure and function of the detected mutations. Screening of pathogenic and possible pathogenic genes was performed using American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines. GO analysis and KEGG analysis of pathogenic and possible pathogenic genes were performed using the DAVID database, and protein-protein interaction network analysis of pathogenic and possible pathogenic genes was performed using the STRING database. Then, the Kaplan-Meier plotter database, GEPIA database and HPA database were used to analyse the relationship between pathogenic and possible pathogenic genes and patients with liver cancer. Results: Targeted capture and deep sequencing of 560 cancer-related genes in 10 liver cancer ctDNA samples revealed 8,950 single nucleotide variation (SNV) mutations and 70 INDELS. The most commonly mutated gene was PDE4DIP, followed by SYNE1, KMT2C, PKHD1 and FN1. We compared these results to the COSMIC database and determined that ctDNA could be used for sequencing. According to the ACMG guidelines, we identified 54 pathogenic and possible pathogenic mutations in 39 genes in exons and splice regions of 10 HCC patients and performed GO analysis, KEGG analysis, and PPI network analysis. Through further analysis, four genes significantly related to the prognosis of liver cancer were identified. Conclusion: In this study, our findings indicate that ctDNA can be used for sequencing. Our results provide some molecular data for the mapping of genetic variation in Chinese patients with liver cancer, which enriches the understanding of HCC pathogenesis and provides new ideas for the diagnosis and prognosis of HCC patients.

RESUMO

Migrasomes are organelles that are similar in structure to pomegranates, up to 3 µm in diameter, and contain small vesicles with a diameter of 50-100 nm. These membranous organelles grow at the intersections or tips of retracting fibers at the back of migrating cells. The process by which cells release migrasomes and their contents outside the cell is called migracytosis. The signal molecules are packaged in the migrasomes and released to the designated location by migrasomes to activate the surrounding cells. Finally, the migrasomes complete the entire process of information transmission. In this sense, migrasomes integrate time, space, and specific chemical information, which are essential for regulating physiological processes such as embryonic development and tumor invasion and migration. In this review, the current research progress of migrasomes, including the discovery of migrasomes and migracytosis, the structure of migrasomes, and the distribution and functions of migrasomes is discussed. The migratory marker protein TSPAN4 is highly expressed in various cancers and is associated with cancer invasion and migration. Therefore, there is still much research space for the pathogenesis of migratory bodies and cancer. This review also makes bold predictions and prospects for the research directions of the combination of migrasomes and clinical applications.

RESUMO

Drug crime is a prominent issue of concern from pole to pole. In order to seek higher profits, drug gangs often add diluents and adulterants to the drugs to disperse drug products Analysis of these additives would be greatly conducive to determine the origin of drug products for law enforcement departments. A method using attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and chemometrics methods to classify the heroin hydrochloride, methamphetamine hydrochloride, ketamine hydrochloride and their five additives (caffeine, phenacetin, starch, glucose, and sucrose), was developed. The Baseline correction, multivariate scatter correction, standard normal variate and Savitzky-Golay algorithm were adopted to pre-process the spectral data. Several supervised pattern recognition methods including decision tree, Bayes discriminant analysis, and support vector machine were considered as algorithms of constructing classifiers. The results reveal that, repetitive and interfering data in original spectrum data could be eliminated by principal component analysis and factor analysis. F-measure, as a comprehensive evaluation index of precision rate and recall rate, was more objective than precision rate and recall rate to reflect the ability of model to distinguish samples. It should be used as one of the indicators to evaluate the model. The CHAID classification tree could be identified as priorities in the decision tree model, while the linear kernel could be considered as the optimal kernel in the support vector machine model. The classification ability of three hydrochloride mixtures based on Bayes discriminant analysis was better than that of another models. Bayes discriminant analysis model was the more useful and practical method for classifying the target drugs of abuse than that of decision trees and support vector machine. The designed approach represents a potentially simple, non-destructive, and rapid method of classifying hydrochloride mixtures.
