RÉSUMÉ
Opnurasib (JDQ443) is a newly developed oral KRASG12C inhibitor, with a binding mechanism distinct from the registered KRASG12C inhibitors sotorasib and adagrasib. Phase I and II clinical trials for opnurasib in NSCLC are ongoing. We evaluated the pharmacokinetic roles of the ABCB1 (P-gp/MDR1) and ABCG2 (BCRP) efflux and OATP1 influx transporters, and of the metabolizing enzymes CYP3A and CES1 in plasma and tissue disposition of oral opnurasib, using genetically modified cell lines and mouse models. In vitro, opnurasib was potently transported by human (h)ABCB1 and slightly by mouse (m)Abcg2. In Abcb1a/b- and Abcb1a/b;Abcg2-deficient mice, a significant â¼100-fold increase in brain-to-plasma ratios was observed. Brain penetration was unchanged in Abcg2-/- mice. ABCB1 activity in the blood-brain barrier may therefore potentially limit the efficacy of opnurasib against brain metastases. The Abcb1a/b transporter activity could be almost completely reversed by co-administration of elacridar, a dual ABCB1/ABCG2 inhibitor, increasing the brain penetration without any behavioral or postural signs of acute CNS-related toxicity. No significant pharmacokinetic roles of the OATP1 transporters were observed. Transgenic human CYP3A4 did not substantially affect the plasma exposure of opnurasib, indicating that opnurasib is likely not a sensitive CYP3A4 substrate. Interestingly, Ces1-/- mice showed a 4-fold lower opnurasib plasma exposure compared to wild-type mice, whereas no strong effect was seen on the tissue distribution. Plasma Ces1c therefore likely binds opnurasib, increasing its retention in plasma. The obtained pharmacokinetic insights may be useful for further optimization of the clinical efficacy and safety of opnurasib, and might reveal potential drug-drug interaction risks.

Cell-cell communication within the complex tumour microenvironment is critical to cancer progression. Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (TD-EVs) are key players in this process. They can interact with immune cells and modulate their activity, either suppressing or activating the immune system. Deciphering the interactions between TD-EVs and immune cells is essential to understand immune modulation by cancer cells. Fluorescent labelling of TD-EVs is a method of choice to study such interaction. This work aims to determine the impact of EV labelling methods on the detection by imaging flow cytometry and multicolour spectral flow cytometry of EV interaction and capture by the different immune cell types within human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs). EVs released by the triple-negative breast carcinoma cell line MDA-MB-231 were labelled either with the lipophilic dye MemGlow-488 (MG-488), Carboxyfluorescein diacetate, succinimidyl ester (CFDA-SE) or through ectopic expression of a MyrPalm-superFolderGFP reporter (mp-sfGFP), which incorporates into EVs during their biogenesis. Our results show that these labelling strategies, although analysed with the same techniques, led to diverging results. While MG-488-labelled EVs incorporate in all cell types, CFSE-labelled EVs are restricted to a minor subset of cells and mp-sfGFP-labelled EVs are mainly detected in CD14+ monocytes which are the main uptakers of EVs and other particles, regardless of the labelling method. Furthermore, our results show that the method used for EV labelling influences the detection of the different types of EV interactions with the recipient cells. Specifically, MG-488, CFSE and mp-sfGFP result in observation suggesting, respectively, transient EV-PM interaction that results in dye transfer, EV content delivery, and capture of intact EVs. Consequently, the type of EV labelling method has to be considered as they can provide complementary information on various types of EV-cell interaction and EV fate.

Attempts to achieve early diagnosis are crucial to improve the outcome of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Here we present a critical evaluation of a recent study unraveling the potential of circulating AXL as a novel blood marker for early detection of PDAC and differential diagnosis from chronic pancreatitis (CP).
