RESUMO
RAS guanyl releasing protein 1 (RASGRP1) is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) characterized by the presence of a RAS superfamily GEF domain. It functions as a diacylglycerol (DAG)-regulated nucleotide exchange factor, specifically activating RAS through the exchange of bound GDP for GTP. Activation of RAS by RASGRP1 has a wide range of downstream effects at the cellular level. Thus, it is not surprising that many diseases are associated with RASGRP1 disorders. Here, we present an overview of the structure and function of RASGRP1, its crucial role in the development, expression, and regulation of immune cells, and its involvement in various signaling pathways. This review comprehensively explores the relationship between RASGRP1 and various diseases, elucidates the underlying molecular mechanisms of RASGRP1 in each disease, and identifies potential therapeutic targets. This study provides novel insights into the role of RASGRP1 in insulin secretion and highlights its potential as a therapeutic target for diabetes. The limitations and challenges associated with studying RASGRP1 in disease are also discussed.
RESUMO
Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) accounts for more than 90% of HL in developed countries. Although the current combined modality therapy make it have a high cure rate, the prognosis for heavily pretreated patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) cHL remains poor. A novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), named camidanlumab tesirine (ADCT-301, Cami), is currently being evaluated for its efficacy and safety in R/R cHL. The primary objective of this review is to examine the current pharmacological properties of camidanlumab tesirine as well as its clinical antitumor activity and safety. Camidanlumab tesirine comprises a human IgG1 anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody HuMax®-TAC, conjugated to a pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer toxin. Once it bound to CD25-expressing cells, camidanlumab tesirine is internalized by cells and delivers SG3199, then SG3199 irreversibly binds to DNA and forms DNA interstrand crosslinks, ultimately leading to cell death. In the phase 1 study, patients with R/R cHL who received camidanlumab tesirine had an overall response rate (ORR) of 71% and a complete response rate (CRR) of 42%. Additionally, the recommended doses provided in R/R cHL were determined to be 30 and 45 µg/kg. The pivotal phase 2 trial showed significant antitumor activity of camidanlumab tesirine in heavily pretreated R/R cHL patients who failed brentuximab vedotin and programmed death-1 blockade: ORR was 70.1% and CRR was 33.3%, and the median duration of response was 13.7 months. Adverse events such as fatigue, maculopapular rash, and anemia were frequently observed following administration of camidanlumab tesirine. Moreover, camidanlumab tesirine may cause Guillain-Barré syndrome or polyradiculopathy.
