RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) have significantly improved the survival of patients with hormone receptor-positive HER2-negative advanced breast cancer (ABC). Although stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is used more often in routine clinical practice, data on the safety and efficacy of combining SABR with CDK4/6i are lacking. Herein, we present the results of SABR combined with CDK4/6i in ABC. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with ABC who received CDK4/6i and SABR between 2018-2023 were analyzed. RESULTS: Among 384 patients treated with CDK4/6i, 34 patients received 44 courses of SABR. 2-year PFS was 63.6% (95%CI : 45.8-88.3), and the median PFS was 32 months. 3-year OS was 88.9% (95%CI : 77.7-100). 2-year local control was 92.7% [95%CI : 83.4-100]. Median OS and LC were not reached. The subgroup analysis showed the difference in survival between oligometastatic patients (OMD) and non-OMD subgroup. 2-year PFS was 69.2%(95%CI : 44.5-100) in OMD compared with 57.4% (95%CI : 36-91.7) in the non-OMD (p = 0.042). 3-year OS was 90%(95%CI : 73.2-100) in OMD compared with 86.2%(95%CI : 70-100) in the non-OMD (p = 0.67). Median PFS and OS in the non-OMD were 26 and 56 months, respectively, and were not reached in OMD. Fifteen patients required CDK4/6i dose reduction, and two discontinued treatment due to toxicity. No difference in high-grade toxicity was observed between the sequential and concurrent SABR. CONCLUSION: The addition of SABR to CDK4/6i seems to be safe and effective, especially in patients with oligometastatic disease. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: In advanced breast cancer patients treated with CDK4/6i, SABR provides a high local control and may provide additional benefit in an oligometastatic setting.
RESUMO
Atypical lipomatous tumors (ALTs) are locally aggressive adipocytic malignancies that frequently occur in middle-aged adults. We report the rare case of an ALT of the thigh that occurred in a 4-year-old girl. Since the tumor was initially diagnosed as a lipoblastoma by incisional biopsy, marginal resection was performed. Histopathological findings of the surgical specimen revealed the proliferation of mature and variously sized adipocytes, as well as ectopic ossification; these features differ from the typical findings of lipoblastoma. Immunohistochemical findings showed nuclear positivity for a murine double minute 2 (MDM2) and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) and negativity for pleomorphic adenoma gene 1 (PLAG1). Fluorescence in situ hybridization showed abnormal amplification of the MDM2 gene. The patient was thus finally diagnosed as having an ALT. No signs of local recurrence or metastasis were noted 1 year postoperatively. This case is instructive in the differential diagnosis of primary adipocytic tumors. Lipoblastomas are the most common adipocytic tumors in children, but if a tumor is located in the deep tissue or imaging findings are not typical, the possibility of ALT should be considered and immunohistochemistry for MDM2 and CDK4 should be added.
RESUMO
The anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibody is a standard therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Tumor expression of PD-L1 can be induced upon stimulus. Because cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) inhibition reduces the expression of inducible proteins, we explored the influence of CDK9 inhibition on PD-L1 expression in HCC cells. We found that PD-L1 expression was low in HCC cells; however, IFN-γ treatment increased this expression. CDK9 inhibitors AZD4573 and atuveciclib reduced the IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression in a dose-dependent manner. CDK9 knockdown yielded similar results, but CDK9 overexpression reversed the influence of the CDK9 inhibitors. In the orthotopic mouse model, mice treated with a CDK9 inhibitor and an anti-PD-L1 antibody had significantly smaller tumors and exhibited longer survival than mice treated with either agent. In conclusion, CDK9 inhibition could reduce the expression of PD-L1 in HCC cells. Using both CDK9 inhibitors and anti-PD-L1 antibodies is more effective than using either agent alone.
RESUMO
Background: Methyltransferase-like (METTL) plays an important role in various biological processes, but its role in prostate cancer (PCa) is still unclear. This study aimed to explore the mechanism by which methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) inhibits the physiological activity of PCa cells by increasing the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4). Methods: Clinical samples were collected for bioinformatics analysis. A PCa mouse model was constructed. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), flow cytometry, colony formation assays, scratch assays, Transwell assays, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), immunofluorescence and western blotting were used to detect the corresponding indicators. Results: METTL14 was found to be beneficial to inhibit the proliferation, invasion, and migration of PCa cells. When the m6A RNA increased, the half-life of CDK4 mRNA decreased after oe-METTL14 (overexpression of METTL14). Overexpression of CDK4 reversed the effect of oe-METTL14. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments revealed there were interactions between CDK4 and forkhead box M1 (FOXM1). Transfection of si-CDK4 was similar to transfection of oe-METTL14. After transfection with oe-FOXM1, the invasion and migration ability of cells increased, and cell apoptosis decreased. After transfection with si-FOXM1 alone, autophagy related 7 (ATG7) expression was significantly downregulated, and autophagy levels were reduced. The overexpression of ATG7 reversed the effect of si-FOXM1. The tumor volume and weight of the oe-METTL14 group mice were significantly reduced, and tumor proliferation was decreased in comparison to untreated tumor-bearing mice. Conclusions: METTL14 inhibits the invasion and migration of PCa cells and induces cell apoptosis by inhibiting CDK4 stability and FOXM1/ATG7-mediated autophagy.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Neutrophilic inflammation, characterized by dysregulated neutrophil activation, triggers a variety of inflammatory responses such as chemotactic infiltration, oxidative bursts, degranulation, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation, and delayed turnover. This type of inflammation is pivotal in the pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and psoriasis. Despite current treatments, managing neutrophil-associated inflammatory symptoms remains a significant challenge. AIM OF REVIEW: This review emphasizes the role of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) in neutrophil activation and inflammation. It aims to highlight the therapeutic potential of repurposing CDK inhibitors to manage neutrophilic inflammation, particularly in ARDS and psoriasis. Additionally, it discusses the necessary precautions for the clinical application of these inhibitors due to potential off-target effects and the need for dose optimization. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW: CDKs regulate key neutrophilic functions, including chemotactic responses, degranulation, NET formation, and apoptosis. Repurposing CDK inhibitors, originally developed for cancer treatment, shows promise in controlling neutrophilic inflammation. Clinical anticancer drugs, palbociclib and ribociclib, have demonstrated efficacy in treating neutrophilic ARDS and psoriasis by targeting off-label pathways, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), respectively. While CDK inhibitors offer promising therapeutic benefits, their clinical repurposing requires careful consideration of off-target effects and dose optimization. Further exploration and clinical trials are necessary to ensure their safety and efficacy in treating inflammatory conditions.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: In advanced breast cancer, endocrine therapy is preferred in the absence of visceral crisis. Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKi) are the gold standards. The selection of subsequent treatments after CDKi treatment is still controversial, and the efficacy of everolimus (EVE) combinations is unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of EVE after CDKi administration in real-life experiences. METHOD: The study received data from 208 patients from 26 cancer centers. Demographic and histologic features, diagnosis, progression, last visit dates, and toxicities were recorded. This study was a retrospective case series. RESULTS: One hundred and seven patients received palbociclib, while 101 patients received ribociclib as a CDKi. The overall response and disease control rates of EVE combinations were 60% and 88%, respectively. In univariate analysis, the absence of liver metastasis, age > 40 years, better type of response, and immediate treatment after CDKi were related to increased progression-free survival. Liver metastasis and response type were significantly associated with overall survival. In the multivariate analysis, response remained significant in terms of progression-free survival, while response type, liver metastatic disease, and hematologic toxicity were prognostic in terms of overall survival. CONCLUSION: This study provides evidence of the benefits of EVE combinations after CDKi treatment. EVE combinations may be more appropriate for patients with non-liver metastasis, and the first treatment response shows the benefit of treatment. In addition, immediate treatment after CDKi treatment is more beneficial than later lines of treatment.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects approximately 50 million people globally and is expected to triple by 2050. Arctiin is a lignan found in the Arctium lappa L. plant. Arctiin possesses anti-proliferative, antioxidative and anti-adipogenic. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to explore the potential therapeutic effects of Arctiin on rats with AD by evaluating the expression of TLR4, NLRP3, STAT3, TGF-ß, cyclin D1, and CDK2. METHODS: AD was induced in rats by administering 70 mg/kg of aluminum chloride through intraperitoneal injection daily for six weeks. After inducing AD, some rats were treated with 25 mg/kg of Arctiin daily for three weeks through oral gavage. Furthermore, to examine the brain tissue structure, hippocampal sections were stained with hematoxylin/eosin and anti-TLR4 antibodies. The collected samples were analyzed for gene expression and protein levels of TLR4, NLRP3, STAT3, TGF-ß, cyclin D1, and CDK2. RESULTS: In behavioral tests, rats showed a significant improvement in their behavior when treated with Arctiin. Microimages stained with hematoxylin/eosin showed that Arctiin helped to improve the structure and cohesion of the hippocampus, which was previously impaired by AD. Furthermore, Arctiin reduced the expression of TLR4, NLRP3, STAT3, TGF-ß, cyclin D1, and CDK2. CONCLUSION: Arctiin can enhance rats' behavior and structure of the hippocampus in AD rats. This is achieved through its ability to reduce the expression of both TLR4 and NLRP3, hence inhibiting the inflammasome pathway. Furthermore, Arctiin can improve tissue fibrosis by regulating STAT3 and TGF-ß. Lastly, it can block the cell cycle proteins cyclin D1 and CDK2.
RESUMO
The RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription cycle is regulated at every stage by a network of cyclin-dependent protein kinases (CDKs) and protein phosphatases. Progression of RNAPII from initiation to termination is marked by changing patterns of phosphorylation on the highly repetitive carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of RPB1, its largest subunit, suggesting the existence of a CTD code. In parallel, the conserved transcription elongation factor SPT5, large subunit of the DRB sensitivity-inducing factor (DSIF), undergoes spatiotemporally regulated changes in phosphorylation state that may be directly linked to the transitions between transcription-cycle phases. Here we review insights gained from recent structural, biochemical, and genetic analyses of human SPT5, which suggest that two of its phosphorylated regions perform distinct functions at different points in transcription. Phosphorylation within a flexible, RNA-binding linker promotes release from the promoter-proximal pause-frequently a rate-limiting step in gene expression-whereas modifications in a repetitive carboxy-terminal region are thought to favor processive elongation, and are removed just prior to termination. Phosphorylations in both motifs depend on CDK9, catalytic subunit of positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb); their different timing of accumulation on chromatin and function during the transcription cycle might reflect their removal by different phosphatases, different kinetics of phosphorylation by CDK9, or both. Perturbations of SPT5 regulation have profound impacts on viability and development in model organisms through largely unknown mechanisms, while enzymes that modify SPT5 have emerged as potential therapeutic targets in cancer; elucidating a putative SPT5 code is therefore a high priority.
RESUMO
Cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8) is highly expressed in various cancers and common complex human diseases, and an important therapeutic target for drug discovery and development. The CDK8 inhibitors are actively sought after, especially among natural products. We performed a virtual screening using the ZINC library comprising approximately 90,000 natural compounds. We applied Lipinski's rule of five, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity properties, and pan-assay interference compounds filter to eliminate promiscuous binders. Subsequently, the filtered compounds underwent molecular docking to predict their binding affinity and interactions with the CDK8 protein. Interaction analysis were carried out to elucidate the interaction mechanism of the screened hits with binding pockets of the CDK8. The ZINC02152165, ZINC04236005, and ZINC02134595 were selected with appreciable specificity and affinity with CDK8. An all-atom molecular dynamic (MD) simulation followed by essential dynamics was performed for 200 ns. Taken together, the results suggest that ZINC02152165, ZINC04236005, and ZINC02134595 can be harnessed as potential leads in therapeutic development. Moreover, the binding of the molecules brings change in protein conformation in a way that blocks the ATP-binding site of the protein, obstructing its kinase activity. These new findings from natural products offer insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying CDK8 inhibition. CDK8 was previously associated with behavioral and neurological diseases such as autism spectrum disorder, and cancers, for example, colorectal, prostate, breast, and acute myeloid leukemia. Hence, we call for further research and experimental validation, and with an eye to inform future clinical drug discovery and development in these therapeutic fields.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Cyclin-dependent kinase-Like 5 (CDKL5) deficiency disorder (CDD) is a rare neurodevelopmental condition commonly characterized by drug-resistant, refractory epilepsy, and seizures beginning in infancy. Most patients use multiple drugs, yet seizures remain difficult to control. So far, no conventional anti-seizure medications have been proven to be effective in individuals with CDD, in well-conducted studies. AREAS COVERED: In this review, the authors assess the pharmacokinetics, early studies and appraise a recent study investigating the efficacy and safety of the oral suspension of ganaxolone (3α-hydroxy-3ß-methyl-5α-pregnan-20-one) as an adjunctive therapy to treat seizures in CDD. The authors also discuss the impact of this drug on non-seizure outcomes. EXPERT OPINION: Ganaxolone is a neuroactive 3ß-methylated synthetic analogue of the potent agonist of gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptors, allopregnanolone. Ganaxolone is the only drug that has been studied in a robust randomized controlled trial and been proven to be effective in this population.
RESUMO
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a fatal interstitial lung disease associated with declining pulmonary function but currently with few effective drugs. Cellular senescence has been implicated in the pathogenesis of PF and could be a potential therapeutic target. Emerging evidence suggests wogonin, the bioactive compound isolated from Scutellaria baicalensis, owns the anti-senescence properties, however, the possible impact of wogonin on PF and the potential mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, a well-established mouse model of PF was utilized which mice were administrated with bleomycin (BLM). Strikingly, wogonin treatment significantly reduced fibrosis deposition in the lung induced by BLM. In vitro, wogonin also suppressed fibrotic markers of cultured epithelial cells stimulated by BLM or hydrogen peroxide. Mechanistic investigation revealed that wogonin attenuated the expressions of DNA damage marker γ-H2AX and senescence-related markers including phosphorylated p53, p21, retinoblastoma protein (pRB), and senescence-associated ß-galactosidase (SA-ß-gal). Moreover, wogonin, as a direct and selective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9), exhibited anti-fibrotic capacity by inhibiting CDK9 and p53/p21 signalling. In conclusion, wogonin protects against BLM-induced PF in mice through the inhibition of cell senescence via the regulation of CDK9/p53 and DNA damage pathway. This is the first study to demonstrate the beneficial effect of wogonin on PF, and its implication as a novel candidate for PF therapy.
RESUMO
The ATP-dependent phosphorylation activity of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), an essential enzyme for cell cycle progression, is regulated by interactions with Cyclin-B, substrate, and Cks proteins. We have recently shown that active site acetylation in CDK1 abrogated binding to Cyclin-B which posits an intriguing long-range communication between the catalytic site and the protein-protein interaction (PPI) interface. Now, we demonstrate a general allosteric link between the CDK1 active site and all three of its PPI interfaces through atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Specifically, we examined ATP binding free energies to CDK1 in native nonacetylated (K33wt) and acetylated (K33Ac) forms as well as the acetyl-mimic K33Q and the acetyl-null K33R mutant forms, which are accessible in vitro. In agreement with experiments, ATP binding is stronger in K33wt relative to the other three perturbed states. Free energy decomposition reveals, in addition to expected local changes, significant and selective nonlocal entropic responses to ATP binding/perturbation of K33 from the αC $$ \alpha C $$ -helix, activation loop (A-loop), and αG $$ \alpha G $$ - α $$ \alpha $$ H segments in CDK1 which interface with Cyclin-B, substrate, and Cks proteins, respectively. Statistical analysis reveals that while entropic responses of protein segments to active site perturbations are on average correlated with their dynamical changes, such correlations are lost in about 9%-48% of the dataset depending on the segment. Besides proving the bi-directional communication between the active site and the CDK1:Cyclin-B interface, our study uncovers a hitherto unknown mode of ATP binding regulation by multiple PPI interfaces in CDK1.
RESUMO
p16INK4a and p21WAF1/Cip1 are cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors involved in cell cycle control, which can function as oncogenes or tumor suppressors, depending on the context of various extracellular and intracellular signals, and cell type. In human papillomavirus-induced cervical cancer, p16 INK4a shows oncogenic activity and functions as a diagnostic marker of cervical neoplasia, whereas p21 WAF1/Cip1 acts as a tumor suppressor and its downregulation is associated with the progression of malignant transformation. Several histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors promote the positive and negative regulation of a number of genes, including p16 INK4a and p21 WAF1/Cip1; however, the effects of sodium valproate (VPA) on these genes and on the proteins they encode remain uncertain in HeLa cervical cancer cells. In the present study, these effects were investigated in HeLa cells treated with 0.5 or 2 mM VPA for 24 h, using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, confocal microscopy and western blotting. The results revealed a decrease in the mRNA expression levels of p16 INK4a and a tendency for p16INK4a protein abundance to decrease in the presence of 2 mM VPA. By contrast, an increase in the protein expression levels of p21WAF1/Cip1 was detected in the presence of 0.5 and 2 mM VPA. Furthermore, VPA was confirmed to inhibit HDAC activity and induce global hyperacetylation of histone H3. Notably, VPA was shown to suppress p16 INK4a, a biomarker gene of cervical carcinoma, and to increase the abundance of the tumor suppressor protein p21WAF1/Cip1, thus contributing to the basic knowledge regarding the antitumorigenic potential of VPA. Exploration of epigenetic changes associated with the promoters of p16 INK4a and p21 WAF1/Cip1, such as histone H3 methylation, may provide further information and improve the understanding of these findings.
RESUMO
Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are overexpressed in tumor cells, and their aberrant activation can promote the progression of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We utilized structure-based virtual screening and experimental validation to screen for potential CDKs antagonists among TargetMol natural products. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation results indicate that Dolastatin 10 exhibits strong interactions with multiple subtypes of CDKs (CDK1, CDK2, CDK3, CDK4, and CDK6), forming stable CDKs-Dolastatin 10 complex compounds. Furthermore, in vitro experiments demonstrate that Dolastatin 10 significantly inhibits the viability, migration, and invasion of H1299 cells in a concentration-dependent manner, arresting the cell cycle at the G2/M phase by inducing cell senescence. These findings suggest that Dolastatin 10 may serve as a potential CDKs antagonist deserving further investigation.
RESUMO
AIM: We attempted to test the influences of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2B antisense RNA 1 (CDKN2B-AS1) gene polymorphisms on the susceptibility to Diabetic retinopathy (DR). METHODS: Five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the CDKN2B-AS1 gene, rs564398, rs1333048, rs1537373, rs2151280, and rs8181047 were examined in 280 DR cases and 455 DR-free diabetic controls. RESULTS: Among these loci tested, we demonstrated that diabetic carriers of at least one polymorphic allele (G) of rs2151280 (AG and GG; AOR, 1.613; 95% CI, 1.040-2.501; p = 0.033) are more susceptible to proliferative DR but not non-proliferative DR. This genetic association with the risk of developing proliferative DR was further strengthened in homozygotes for the polymorphic allele (G) of rs2151280 (GG; AOR, 2.194; 95% CI, 1.117-4.308; p = 0.023). We detected a significant association of the polymorphic allele (G) of rs2151280 with proliferative DR patients (OR, 1.503; 95% CI, 1.112-2.033; p = 0.008) but not with the entire DR or non-proliferative DR group. Moreover, as compared to those who do not possess the polymorphic allele of rs2151280 (AA), DR patients carrying at least one polymorphic allele of rs2151280 (AG + GG) exhibited a lower glomerular filtration rate and HDL cholesterol level, revealing a promotive role of rs2151280 in renal and cardiovascular complications of diabetes. CONCLUSION: Taken together, our findings implicate an impact of CDKN2B-AS1 gene polymorphisms on the progression of DR.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The use of locoregional radiotherapy (RT) in patients with advanced ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer remains a topic of ongoing debate. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of locoregional RT in advanced breast cancer patients treated with cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) in a first-line setting. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with advanced breast cancer between 2018 and 2023 who received treatment with CDK4/6i and underwent locoregional radiotherapy. RESULTS: Among the 371 patients treated with CDK4/6i as part of their first-line therapy, 23 received locoregional RT either concurrently or sequentially with CDK4/6 inhibitors. Disease progression within the breast occurred in 19 patients (5.1%). Among these cases, five patients had previously undergone breast RT (5/23, 21.7%), while 14 did not (14/348, 4.0%, p = 0.004). All cases of local progression after RT followed palliative doses and were accompanied by early systemic progression. The 2-year PFS in the entire cohort of patients treated with locoregional RT was 65.7% (95% CI: 40.5-82.3%). Notably, patients who received higher RT doses had longer 2-year PFS (83.3%, 95% CI: 27.3-97.5%) than those with palliative RT doses (59.3%, 95% CI: 30.7-79.3%); however, the results were not statistically significant (p = 0.58). Furthermore, the 2-year local control in the entire cohort with locoregional RT was 73.0% (95% CI: 46.5-87.9%). Importantly, no local progression was observed after RT when using high doses. CONCLUSIONS: The addition of locoregional radiotherapy to first-line CDK4/6 inhibitors warrants further investigation across various clinical scenarios in advanced breast cancer. Palliative radiation regimens delivered early in breast oligoprogression may not always suffice, emphasizing the need for comprehensive studies in this context.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Exploring the value of baseline and early 18F-FDG PET/CT evaluations in prediction PFS in ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer patients treated with a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor in combination with an endocrine therapy. METHODS: Sixty-six consecutive breast cancer patients who underwent a pre-therapeutic 18F-FDG PET/CT and a second PET/CT within the first 6 months of treatment were retrospectively included. Metabolic tumour volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) and Dmax, which represents tumour dissemination and is defined as the distance between the two most distant lesions, were computed. The variation in these parameters between baseline and early evaluation PET as well as therapeutic evaluation using PERCIST were assessed as prognosticators of PFS at 18 months. RESULTS: The median follow-up was equal to 22.5 months. Thirty progressions occurred (45.4%). The average time to event was 17.8 ± 10.4 months. At baseline, Dmax was the only predictive metabolic parameter. Patients with a baseline Dmax ≤ 18.10 cm had a significantly better 18 m-PFS survival than the others: 69.2% (7.7%) versus 36.7% (8.8%), p = 0.017. There was no association between PERCIST evaluation and 18 m-PFS status (p = 0.149) and there was no difference in 18 m-PFS status between patients classified as complete, partial metabolic responders or having stable metabolic disease. CONCLUSION: Disease spread at baseline PET, as assessed by Dmax, is predictive of an event occurring within 18 months. In the absence of early metabolic progression, which occurs in 15% of patients, treatment should be continued regardless of the quality of the initial response to treatment.

OBJECTIVE: The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) was used to mine and evaluate adverse events (AEs) associated with cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors, thereby providing a reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS: AE data related to CDK4/6 inhibitors from the first quarter of 2015 to the first quarter of 2023 were acquired from FAERS, while the signal mining was processed using the reporting odds ratio (ROR) method and Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN) method. RESULTS: The number of AE reports for CDK4/6 inhibitors was, respectively, 132,494 for palbociclib, 56,151 for ribociclib, and 7,014 for abemaciclib. The corresponding numbers of AE signals were 319, 517, and 59, with the number of involved System Organ Class (SOC) being 23, 23, and 15, mainly involving blood and lymphatic system disorders, respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders, hepatobiliary disorders, skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders, etc. CONCLUSION: CDK4/6 inhibitors could lead to pulmonary toxicity, myelosuppression, skin reactions, etc. Special attention should be paid to abemaciclib for interstitial lung disease (ILD), erythema multiforme, and thrombosis risk; ribociclib for cardiac toxicity, hepatotoxicity, and musculoskeletal toxicity; palbociclib for neurocognitive impairment and osteonecrosis of the jaw.
RESUMO
Background: The study investigated pharmacokinetic interactions between palbociclib and ribociclib with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) using the reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method. Methods: Developed RP-HPLC method quantified palbociclib and ribociclib in biological matrices. In vitro metabolic stability assays and in vivo studies in rats evaluated effect of omeprazole and esomeprazole on pharmacokinetics of palbociclib and ribociclib. Results: The RP-HPLC method was sensitive, accurate and linear. Esomeprazole and omeprazole decreased metabolic clearance of palbociclib and ribociclib by several folds. In vivo, esomeprazole elevated Cmax of palbociclib and ribociclib by 90.1% and 86.4%, whereas omeprazole reduced it by 32.0% and 16.8%, respectively. Conclusion: The RP-HPLC method was used to analyze in vitro and in vivo samples. Long-term treatment with PPIs affects pharmacokinetics of palbociclib and ribociclib, necessitating optimal chemotherapy regimen.

RESUMO
Background & Aims: Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors are the cornerstone of systemic therapy for patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) metastatic breast cancer. In the various therapeutic studies with CDK4/6 inhibitors, elevations in liver tests were more frequent than in the control groups. The mechanism of CDK4/6 inhibitor-induced liver toxicity is not well understood; moreover, natural history and appropriate management are poorly described. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study, collecting cases of CDK4/6 hepatitis from the REFHEPS (Réseau Francophone pour l'étude de l'HEpatotoxicité des Produits de Santé) database. Results: In this study, we report on 22 cases of hepatitis induced by CDK4/6 inhibitors (ribociclib, n = 19 and abemaciclib, n = 3). According to the CTCAE classification, all hepatitis cases were grade 3 or 4. Twelve (54.6%) patients had a liver biopsy showing acute centrilobular hepatitis with foci of necrosis and lymphocytic infiltrate. Nine (40.9%) patients were treated with corticosteroids for resolution of hepatitis. In three cases, another CDK4/6 inhibitor could be resumed after resolution of the hepatitis without recurrence. Conclusions: CDK4/6 inhibitor-induced hepatitis is poorly described in the literature but there are several arguments pointing out that these drugs should be included in the DI-ALH (drug-induced autoimmune-like hepatitis) category. Impact and implications: This study highlights the clinical significance and hepatotoxic risks of CDK4/6 inhibitors, like ribociclib and abemaciclib, in HR+/HER2-metastatic breast cancer treatment. It underscores the necessity for enhanced hepatic monitoring and tailored management strategies, including corticosteroid intervention for unresolved hepatitis post-withdrawal. These findings are crucial for oncologists, hepatologists, and patients, guiding therapeutic decisions and indicating careful liver function monitoring during therapy. The utility of corticosteroids in managing drug-induced hepatitis and the feasibility of resuming CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy post-recovery are notable practical outcomes. Nonetheless, the study's retrospective nature and limited case numbers introduce constraints, underscoring the need for further research to refine our understanding of CDK4/6 inhibitor-associated hepatotoxicity.
