RESUMO

Background: Compared with anti-infective drugs, immunosuppressants and other fields, the application of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in oncology is somewhat limited. Objective: We aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of TDM guidelines for antineoplastic drugs and to promote the development of individualized drug therapy in oncology. Design: This study type is a systematic review. Data sources and methods: This study was performed and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 statement. Databases including PubMed, Embase, the official websites of TDM-related associations and Chinese databases were comprehensively searched up to March 2023. Two investigators independently screened the literature and extracted data. The methodological and reporting quality was evaluated using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II (AGREE II) and the Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare (RIGHT), respectively. Recommendations and quality evaluation results were presented by visual plots. This study was registered in PROSPERO (No. CRD42022325661). Results: A total of eight studies were included, with publication years ranging from 2014 to 2022. From the perspective of guideline development, two guidelines were developed using evidence-based methods. Among the included guidelines, four guidelines were for cytotoxic antineoplastic drugs, three for small molecule kinase inhibitors, and one for antineoplastic biosimilars. Currently available guidelines and clinical practice provided recommendations of individualized medication in oncology based on TDM, as well as influencing factors. With regard to methodological quality based on AGREE II, the average overall quality score was 55.21%. As for the reporting quality by RIGHT evaluation, the average reporting rate was 53.57%. Conclusion: From the perspective of current guidelines, TDM in oncology is now being expanded from cytotoxic antineoplastic drugs to newer targeted treatments. Whereas, the types of antineoplastic drugs involved are still small, and there is still room for quality improvement. Furthermore, the reflected gaps warrant future studies into the exposure-response relationships and population pharmacokinetics models.

RESUMO

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has benefited an increasing number of patients with hematological disease in the clinic. It is a curative therapy for malignant and nonmalignant hematological diseases. With the advancement and further clinical application of HSCT in recent years, the life expectancy of patients has increased, but complications have become more common. The occurrence of ocular complications is receiving increasing attention because they can seriously affect the quality of life of patients. Ocular complications require increased attention from clinicians because of their negative impact on patients and increasing incidence. Most of recent reports on posttransplant ocular complications involve ocular manifestations of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and a few ocular complications that do not originate from GVHD have also been reported. This review summarizes the diagnosis, scoring criteria, pathophysiology, and clinical manifestations of and common therapies for ocular graft-versus-host disease(oGVHD) after HSCT, and includes a description of some rare cases and novel therapies.

RESUMO

SET-CAN/NUP214 fusion is a recurrent event commonly observed in adult male patients diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and has occasionally been reported in other diseases such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myeloid sarcoma (MS), acute undifferentiated leukemia (AUL), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). This fusion gene is derived from chromosome del(9)(q34.11;q34.13) or t(9;9)(q34;q34) and may have an inhibitory effect on primitive progenitor differentiation. The prognosis of the reported patients is varied, with these patients often show resistance to chemotherapy regimens that include high doses of glucocorticoids. The optional treatment has not been determined, more cases need to be accumulated and evaluated. The scope of this review is to summarize the general features and prognostic significance in leukemia associated with the SET-CAN/NUP214 fusion gene and to discuss the methods of detection and treatment, aiming at providing some useful references for relevant researchers in the field of blood tumor.

RESUMO

Arsenic trioxide (ATO) treatment effectively prolongs the overall survival of patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Mutations in the oncogene PML::RARA were found in patients with ATO-resistant and relapsed APL. However, some relapsed patients do not have such mutations. Here, we performed microarray analysis of samples from newly diagnosed and relapsed APL, and found different microRNA (miRNA) expression patterns between these two groups. Among the differentially expressed miRNAs, miR-603 was expressed at the lowest level in relapsed patients. The expression of miR-603 and its predicted target tropomyosin-related kinase B (TrkB) were determined by PCR and Western blot. Proliferation was measured using an MTT assay, while apoptosis, cell cycle and CD11b expression were analyzed using flow cytometry. In APL patients, the expression of miR-603 was negatively correlated with that of TrkB. miR-603 directly targeted TrkB and downregulated TrkB expression in the APL cell line NB4. miR-603 increased cell proliferation by promoting the differentiation and inhibiting the apoptosis of NB4 cells. This study shows that the miR-603/ TrkB axis may be a potent therapeutic target for relapsed APL.

RESUMO

The four and a half LIM domains 1 (FHL1) is considered to play important roles in tumors. This study aims to investigate the role and precise mechanisms of FHL1 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here, we found that FHL1 was highly expressed in AML. CCK8, flow cytometry, and Western blot analysis of cell cycle-related proteins showed that overexpression of FHL1 promoted proliferation and accelerated cell cycle progression in HL-60 cells. Conversely, knockdown of FHL1 inhibited the proliferation and induced cell cycle arrest in KG-1 cells. Furthermore, knockdown of FHL1 promoted cell differentiation, while overexpression of FHL1 restrained all-trans retinoic acid induced cell differentiation in HL-60 cells, revealed by Wright-Giemsa staining and cell surface antigen analysis. Moreover, in vivo experiments revealed that depletion of FHL1 inhibited tumor growth and led to increased levels of CD11b and CD14. Here, we first identify an unexpected and important role of FHL1 that contributes to the AML progression, indicating that FHL1 may be a potential therapeutic target for AML.

RESUMO

Mismatched human leukocyte antigen (HLA) loss is an essential mechanism involved in immune escape and recurrence in acute leukemia after haploidentical transplantation. Patients relapsing after transplantation with HLA loss have a poor prognosis, and are less likely to benefit from donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) from the original donor. Here, we report a patient with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia who relapsed within six months after haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) combined with unrelated umbilical cord blood (UCB) with a session of prophylactic DLI. This patient achieved transient remission after subsequent Interferon-α-1b treatment for two weeks but experienced a second relapse within one month. Genomic analysis by real-time PCR assay revealed that this patient had a loss of an entire mismatched HLA haplotype that was derived from her haploidentical donor. Haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation with prophylactic DLI might be a triggering event for HLA loss relapse after haploidentical transplantation combined with UCB. HLA loss should be considered in patients with post-HSCT relapse, especially in haploidentical transplantation.

RESUMO

Poor knowledge, scarce resources, and lack of or misaligned incentives have been widely documented as drivers of the irrational use of medicine (IUM), which significantly challenges the efficiency of health systems across the globe. However, there is limited understanding of the influence of each factor on IUM. We used detailed data on provider treatment of presumptive asthma cases in rural China to assess the contributions of provider knowledge, resource constraints, and provider behavior on IUM. This study enrolled 370 village providers from southwest China. All providers responded to a clinical vignette to test their knowledge of how to treat presumptive asthma. Resource constraints ("capacity") were defined as the availability of the prescribed medicines in vignette. To measure provider behavior ("performance"), a subset of providers (104 of 370) were randomly selected to receive unannounced visits by standardized patients (SPs) who performed of presumptive asthma symptoms described in the vignette. We found that, 54% (201/370) of providers provided the vignette-based patients with prescriptions. Moreover, 67% (70/104) provided prescriptions for the SPs. For the vignette, only 10% of the providers prescribed the correct medicines; 38% prescribed only unnecessary medicines (and did not provide correct medicine); 65% prescribed antibiotics (although antibiotics were not required); and 55% prescribed polypharmacy prescriptions (that is, they prescribed five or more different types of drugs). For the SP visits, the numbers were 12%, 51%, 63%, and 0%, respectively. The lower number of medicines in the SP visits was due, in part, to the injections' not being allowed based on ethical considerations (in response to the vignette, however, 65% of providers prescribed injections). The difference between provider knowledge and capacity is insignificant, while a significant large gap exists between provider performance and knowledge/capacity (for 11 of 17 indicators). Our analysis indicated that capacity constraints play a minor role in driving IUM compared to provider performance in the treatment of asthma cases in rural China. If similar findings hold for other disease cases, this suggests that policies to reduce the IUM in rural China have largely been unsuccessful, and alternatives for improving aligning provider incentives with appropriate drug use should be explored.

RESUMO

Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) exert important regulatory roles in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential role and molecular mechanism of lncRNA ADORA2A antisense RNA 1 (ADORA2A-AS1) in CML. We found that the expression of ADORA2A-AS1 was upregulated in CML. Further, knockdown of ADORA2A-AS1 inhibited the proliferation, induced apoptosis, arrested cell cycle, and enhanced imatinib sensitivity in CML cells. Besides, ADORA2A-AS1 promoted the expression of transforming growth factor-beta receptor 1 (TGFBR1) and ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 2 (ABCC2) via sponging miR-665, thereby exerting a tumor-promoting activity. Collectively, our results confirmed the oncogenic effect of ADORA2A-AS1 in CML, indicating that ADORA2A-AS1 is a promosing therapeutic target for CML.

RESUMO

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients with progressive leukocytosis are more likely to have various complications and poor outcomes. However, the regulatory roles of microRNAs in the leukocytosis of APL have not been clarified. Our study aims to evaluate the effects of miRNAs on leukocytosis during induction therapy of APL patients and explore its potential mechanisms. During induction treatment, patients with white blood cell count higher than 10 × 109/L were divided into leukocytosis group and others were nonleukocytosis group. Using microarray assays, we found that miR-139-5p was significantly downregulated in the leukocytosis group. Elevated expression of miR-139-5p inhibited the proliferation of NB4 cells by arresting the cell cycle and inducing apoptosis. We further identified that MNT was a target of miR-139-5p. miR-139-5p significantly inhibited the proliferation, invasion, and migration function of NB4 cells through targeting MNT. Strategies for regulating miR-139-5p or MNT expression might provide new therapeutic approaches for progressive leukocytosis in APL.

RESUMO

WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE: Thalidomide is used off-label for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and not as a first-line treatment option. The instructions clearly state that thalidomide is contraindicated in children because its safety and effectiveness in children are unknown. In this article, we review the efficacy and safety of thalidomide as a treatment for IBD in children and adolescents. METHODS: We searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data, CBM database [from the date of database establishment to June 2019] and clinical trials [systematic review and meta-analysis, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cohort studies, case-control studies and case series studies] for studies concerning the use of thalidomide as a treatment for IBD in children and adolescents. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Seven studies (two RCTs and five case series), which included 134 children and adolescents (32 with ulcerative colitis, 102 with Crohn's disease), met the inclusion criteria. The included studies showed that the clinical remission rate of thalidomide was 44%-100% and the steroid tapering rate was 50%-100% in children and adolescents with refractory IBD. Peripheral neuropathy was the most common major adverse reaction, and it appeared to be cumulative dose-dependent. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION: Thalidomide as a treatment for refractory IBD in children and adolescents can improve clinical remission and achieve longer-term maintenance of remission. Peripheral neuropathy is the main adverse drug reaction, and it can be monitored and prevented. It is necessary to fully communicate with parents and obtain informed consent before using this drug.

RESUMO

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) has a relatively improved remission rate, but the poor outcomes are primarily due to resistance and relapse. Moreover, organs infiltration trends to occur during remission. Rapamycin was applied to treat malignancies for decades. In this investigation, we aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms and pathway changes during the T-ALL therapeutic process. T-ALL cell line Molt-4 cells were treated with rapamycin and performed microarray analysis to identify the deregulated miRNAs and mRNAs (log2 fold change>2 or <-2). To obtain regulatory miRNA/mRNA network, miRNA target prediction softwares and Cytoscape were used to plot and modularize the rapamycin treatment-related network. Surprisingly, the enriched pathways were not involved in mediating either cell death or apoptosis but were responsible for angiogenesis, cell survival, and anti-apoptosis, which is consistent with the Gene Ontology analysis and PPI network based on all deregulated mRNAs, indicating that these elements likely play a role in promoting Molt-4 cell survival or escaping from rapamycin. The expression of 3 miRNAs (miR-149-3p, miR-361-3p, and miR-944) and their putative targets, which play central roles in their module, were validated by qRT-PCR. These results provide novel insight into potentially relevant biological pathways for T-ALL cells escaping from chemotherapy or developing central nervous system infiltration.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Acute myeloid leukemia can develop as myoblasts infiltrate into organs and tissues anywhere other than the bone marrow, which called extramedullary infiltration (EMI), indicating a poor prognosis. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel class of non-coding RNAs that feature covalently closed continuous loops, suggesting their potential as micro RNA (miRNA) "sponges" that can participate in biological processes and pathogenesis. However, investigations on circRNAs in EMI were conducted rarely. In this study, the overall alterations of circRNAs and their regulatory network between EMI and non-EMI AML were delineated. METHODS: CircRNA and whole genome microarrays derived from EMI and non-EMI AML bone marrow mononuclear cells were carried out. Functional analysis was performed via Gene Ontology and KEGG test methods. The speculated functional roles of circRNAs were based on mRNAs and predicted miRNAs that played intermediate roles. Integrated bioinformatic analysis was conducted to further characterize the circRNA/miRNA/mRNA regulatory network and identify the functions of distinct circRNAs. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data were acquired to evaluate the poor prognosis of distinct target genes of circRNAs. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was conducted to identify the expression of has_circRNA_0004520. Connectivity map (CMap) analysis was further performed to predict potential therapeutic agents for EMI. RESULTS: 253 circRNAs and 663 genes were upregulated and 259 circRNAs and 838 genes were downregulated in EMI compared to non-EMI AML samples. GO pathways were enriched in progress including cell adhesion (GO:0030155; GO:0007155), migration (GO:0016477; GO:0030334), signal transduction (GO:0009966; GO:0007165) and cell-cell communication. Overlapping circRNAs envolved in pathways related to regulate cell-cell crosstalk, 17 circRNAs were chosen based on their putative roles. 7 target genes of 17 circRNAs (LRRK1, PLXNB2, OLFML2A, LYPD5, APOL3, ZNF511, and ASB2) indicated a poor prognosis, while overexpression of PAPLN and NRXN3 indicated a better one based on data from TCGA. LY-294002, trichostatin A and SB-202190 were identified as therapeutic candidates for EMI by the CMap analysis. CONCLUSION: Taken together, this study reveals the overall alterations of circRNA and mRNA involved in EMI and suggests potential circRNAs may act as biomarkers and targets for early diagnosis and treatment of EMI.

RESUMO

Dickkopf-3 (DKK3) is frequently down-regulated by promoter hypermethylation and is closely associated with a poor prognosis in many cancers. Our previous studies have shown that miR-708 down-regulates DKK3 at the post-transcriptional level in B-ALL. However, whether transcriptional mechanisms lead to DKK3 silencing remains unclear. Here, we analysed the promoter regions of DKK3 by bioinformatics and found binding sites for MYCN. A dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and ChIP experiments revealed that MYCN negatively regulates DKK3 at the transcriptional level in B-ALL cell lines, and using bisulphite sequencing PCR, we affirmed that MYCN has no effect on the methylation of the DKK3 promoter. MYCN silencing in B-ALL cells resulted in reduced cell proliferation, increased apoptosis and G1 phase arrest. Treatment with MYCN siRNA or 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-AdC), a demethylating agent, significantly increased the levels of DKK3 mRNA and protein and decreased the protein levels of p-GSK3ß and nuclear ß-catenin, which indicates inhibition of the Wnt/ß-catenin pathway in vitro. MYCN knockdown significantly decreased the tumorigenic capacity of Nalm6 cells, which restored DKK3 levels and inhibited the Wnt/ß-catenin pathway in vivo. Our study provides an increased understanding of adult B-ALL pathogenesis, which may be beneficial to the development of effective prognostic markers or therapeutic targets.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: A study was designed to quantify the extent of porous osseointegration at the prosthesis-bone interface in the Prestige LP prosthesis containing a plasma-sprayed titanium coating. METHODS: Using an anterior surgical approach, cervical disc arthroplasty was performed in 8 mature male goats at the C3-C4 segment, followed by implantation of the Prestige LP prosthesis. The vertebral specimens were examined using microcomputed tomograph for histomorphometric quantification, and proceeded by routine paraffin processing for histological observation. Hence, the porous osseointegration at the prosthesis-bone interface was evaluated based on histologic and histomorphometric analyses. RESULTS: At 6 months after surgery, there was no evidence of prosthesis migration, loosening, subsidence, or neurologic or vascular complications. Based on gross histologic analysis, there was excellent porous ingrowth at the prosthesis-bone interface, without significant histopathologic changes. Histomorphometric analysis at the prosthesis-bone interface indicated the mean porous ingrowth of 48.5% ± 10.4% and the total ingrowth range of 36.6 to 59.8%. CONCLUSIONS: As the first comprehensive in vivo investigation into the Prestige LP prosthesis, this project established a successful animal model in the evaluation of cervical disc arthroplasty. Moreover, histomorphometric analysis of porous ingrowth at the prosthesis-bone interface was more favorable for cervical disc arthroplasty with the Prestige LP prosthesis compared to historical reports of appendicular total joint arthroplasty.

RESUMO

Background: Herein, we aimed to investigate the roles of TAL1 and miR-149* in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Methods: The biological characteristics, including cell proliferation, cell apoptosis, and cell cycle, were analyzed in Molt4 cells. Results: ChIP results revealed that miR-149* expression in Jurkat cells transfected with overexpression TAL1 plasmid was higher than that in Jurkat cells alone, while miR-149* expression in Molt-4 cells transfected with knockdown TAL1 plasmid was lower than that in Molt-4 cells alone, suggesting that TAL1 might direct target miR-149*. This was further confirmed by a luciferase activity report assay. Finally, biological functions, such as cell proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis of TAL1 and miR-149* were measured by MTT and flow cytometry, respectively. It was uncovered that enhanced TAL1 and miR-149* expression promoted cell proliferation, induced cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase, and inhibited apoptosis in Molt-4 cells. In contrast, decreased TAL1 and miR-149* expression suppressed cell proliferation, abolished cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase, and accelerated apoptosis in Molt-4 cells. Conclusion: Thus, these data indicate that TAL1 directly regulates miR-149* expression and TAL1/miR-149* link is implicated in the pathogenesis of T-ALL.

RESUMO

Inactivation of Dickkopf-3 (DKK3) is closely associated with a poor prognosis in various solid tumor and hematologic malignancies. Promoter hypermethylation is one potential cause of DKK3 inactivation. However, whether other mechanisms lead to DKK3 inactivation and the subsequent effects of these inactivations on cell proliferation and the Wnt signaling pathway in adult B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) remain unclear. In the present study, we found that low DKK3 expression levels were associated with high miR-708 expression and promoter hypermethylation in adult B-ALL. miR-708 was confirmed to directly decrease DKK3 expression in Nalm-6 and BALL-1 cells. Additionally, a miR-708 inhibitor decreased cell proliferation mainly through apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase, and these effects were eliminated by DKK3 siRNA treatment. Moreover, the demethylating agent 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza) decreased the methylation state of the DKK3 promoter based on methylation-specific PCR (MSP) and bisulfite genomic sequencing PCR (BSP), although this demethylation effect was not enhanced by the miR-708 inhibitor. The miR-708 inhibitor or 5-aza significantly increased DKK3 expression and decreased p-GSK3ß, cyclin D1 and nuclear and cytoplasmic ß-catenin protein expression, indicating that the Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway was inhibited. These effects became more pronounced when the miR-708 inhibitor and 5-aza were used simultaneously. These findings provide greater insights into the mechanisms that increase DKK3 expression and suggest that a miR-708 inhibitor and 5-aza might be useful as targeted therapies for adult B-ALL.

RESUMO

In cervical artificial disc replacement (C-ADR), sometimes we encountered with such cases that implants of adjacent height both fit the target disc space properly. No study was available discussing the choice of implant height and the clinical outcomes under such circumstance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of different implant heights on the clinical outcomes and radiographic results when the implants of adjacent height both fit the disc space properly. This retrospective study included 34 patients underwent single-level C-ADR at the C5-C6 level at our institution. In these 34 patients, implant with either 5 mm height or 6 mm height fit the surgical level properly without overstretching the disc space or the facet joint space. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the Japanese Orthopedic Association score, visual analog scale (VAS), and Neck Disability Index. Radiographic assessments were conducted on static and dynamic radiographs for the determination of the disc space height, intersegmental range of motion (ROM), and the ROM of the functional spinal unit (FSU) at the surgical level. The baseline information of the patients, such as age, gender, weight, follow-up time, and diagnosis, was similar between the 2 groups (P > .05). Postoperative mean VAS in group B was significantly lower than that in group A (2.1 ±â€Š0.7 vs. 2.7 ±â€Š1.0, P < .05). The mean VAS decrease in group B was significantly larger than that in group A (5.3 ±â€Š0.8 vs. 4.6 ±â€Š1.1, P < .05). Significant difference was found in the postoperative disc height of the surgical segment between the 2 groups (6.4 ±â€Š0.4 mm vs. 7.5 ±â€Š0.5 mm, P < .05). No significant differences were noted in the intersegmental ROM and ROM of the FSU between the 2 groups both before the surgery and at the last follow-up (P > .05). No hypermobility or instability was observed in these patients. Our results suggested that when implants of adjacent height both fit the disc space properly, using the larger implant could result in better pain relief without the risk of segmental hypermobility in patients underwent single-level C-ADR at the C5-C6 level.

RESUMO

Two silica gel based adsorbents for Re (VII), i.e. SS-MPTS-VIMH and SS-MPTS-VPQ, were synthesised. Silica gel was used as the matrix for γ-radiation grafting, and the monomer of 1-vinyl imidazole (VIM) and 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP) was grafted onto the silica silanized by methacryloxy propyl trimethoxyl silane, respectively. A VIM concentration of 2molL-1 and an absorbed dose of 30kGy were the optimal grafting conditions for adsorbent SS-MPTS-VIM, and a 4-VP concentration of 4molL-1 and an absorbed dose of 40kGy were the optimal grafting conditions for adsorbent SS-MPTS-VP. At the certain condition, the grafting yield of SS-MPTS-VIM was 30.1% and that of SS-MPTS-VP was 21.0%. The adsorption capacity of adsorbent SS-MPTS-VIMH was 145.99mgg-1 and that of SS-MPTS-VPQ was 71.08mgg-1 according to the Langmuir model. The adsorbent SS-MPTS-VPQ had better adsorption properties of acid resistance and anti-interference than SS-MPTS-VIMH. Dynamic column experiments showed that protonated adsorbent SS-MTPS-VIMH could be recycled with good performance while quaternized adsorbent SS-MPTS-VPQ could not. The adsorbent SS-MPTS-VIMH belongs to weak anion exchange adsorbent and SS-MPTS-VPQ belongs to strong anion exchange adsorbent. This study paves a way to the synthesis and application of a novel silica base adsorbents for Re (VII).
