Romidepsin exhibits anti-esophageal squamous cell carcinoma activity through the DDIT4-mTORC1 pathway.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most common human malignancies worldwide and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Current treatment options are limited, highlighting the need for development of novel effective agents. Here, a high-throughput drug screening (HTS) was performed using ESCC cell lines in both two- and three-dimensional culture systems to screen compounds that have anti-ESCC activity. Our screen identified romidepsin, a histone deactylase inhibitor, as a potential anti-ESCC agent. Romidepsin treatment decreased cell viability, induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in ESCC cell lines, and these findings were confirmed in ESCC cell line-derived xenografted (CDX) mouse models. Mechanically, romidepsin induced transcriptional upregulation of DNA damage-inducible transcript 4 (DDIT4) gene by histone hyperacetylation at its promoter region, leading to the inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway. Furthermore, romidepsin exhibited better efficacy and safety compared to the conventional therapeutic drugs in ESCC patient-derived xenografted (PDX) mouse models. These data indicate that romidepsin may be a novel option for anti-ESCC therapy.

Role of rs873601 Polymorphisms in Prognosis of Lung Cancer Patients Treated with Platinum-Based Chemotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is still the most lethal malignancy in the world, according to the report of Cancer Statistics in 2021. Platinum-based chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy is the first-line treatment in lung cancer patients. However, the 5-year survival rate is always affected by the adverse reactions and drug resistance caused by platinum-based chemotherapy. DNA damage and repair system is one of the important mechanisms that can affect the response to chemotherapy and clinical outcomes in lung cancer patients. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to find the relationship between the polymorphisms of DNA repair genes with the prognosis of platinum-based chemotherapy in lung cancer patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We performed genotyping in 17 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Excision Repair Cross-Complementation group (ERCC) genes and X-ray Repair Cross-Complementing (XRCC) genes of 345 lung cancer patients via Sequenom MassARRAY. We used Cox proportional hazard models, state, and plink to analyze the associations between SNPs and the prognosis of lung cancer patients. RESULTS: We found that the ERCC5 rs873601 was associated with the overall survival time in lung cancer patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy (p = 0.031). There were some polymorphisms that were related to the prognosis in specific subgroups of lung cancer. Rs873601 showed a great influence on the prognosis of patients more than 55 years, Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC), and smoking patients. Rs2444933 was associated with prognosis in age less than 55 years, SCLC, metastasis, and stage III/IV/ED patients. Rs3740051 played an important role in the prognosis of SCLC and metastasis patients. Rs1869641 was involved in the prognosis of SCLC patients. Rs1051685 was related to the prognosis in non-metastasis patients. CONCLUSION: The ERCC5 rs873601 (G>A) was a valuable biomarker for predicting the prognosis in lung cancer patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.

Mechanistic insight into lysyl oxidase in vascular remodeling and angiogenesis.

Vascular remodeling and angiogenesis are two key processes in the maintenance of vascular homeostasis and involved in a wide array of vascular pathologies. Following these processes, extracellular matrix (ECM) provides the mechanical foundation for vascular walls. Lysyl oxidase (LOX), the key matrix-modifying enzyme, has been demonstrated to significantly affect structural abnormality and dysfunction in the blood vessels. The role of LOX in vascular remodeling and angiogenesis has always been the subject in the current medical research. Therefore, we presently make a summarization of the biosynthesis of LOX and the mechanisms involved in vascular remodeling and angiogenesis, as well as the role of LOX in diseases associated with vascular abnormalities and the therapeutic potential via targeting LOX. In particular, we give a proposal that LOX likely reshapes matrisome-associated genes expressions in the regulation of vascular remodeling and angiogenesis, which serves as a mechanistic insight into the critical role of LOX in these two aspects. Additionally, LOX has also dual effects on the vascular dysfunction, namely, inhibition of LOX for improving hypertension, restenosis and malignant tumor while activation of LOX for curing arterial aneurysm and dissection. LOX-targeted therapy may provide a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of various vascular pathologies associated with vascular remodeling and angiogenesis.

Hydrochlorothiazide-induced glucose metabolism disorder is mediated by the gut microbiota via LPS-TLR4-related macrophage polarization.

Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is reported to impair glucose tolerance and may induce new onset of diabetes, but the pharmacomicrobiomics of the adverse effect for HCTZ remains unknown. Mice-fed HCTZ exhibited insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance. By using FMT and antibiotic cocktail models, we found that HCTZ-induced metabolic disorder was mediated by commensal microbiota. HCTZ consumption disturbed the structure of the intestinal microbiota, causing abnormal elevation of Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) then leading to intestinal barrier dysfunction. Additionally, HCTZ activated TLR4 signaling and induced macrophage polarization and inflammation in the liver. Furthermore, HCTZ-induced macrophage polarization and metabolic disorder were abrogated by blocking TLR4 signaling. HCTZ consumption caused a significant increase in Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae, which elevated the levels of LPS, thereby activating LPS/TLR4 pathway, promoting inflammation and macrophage polarization, and resulting in metabolic disorders. These findings revealed that the gut microbiome is the key medium underlying HCTZ-induced metabolic disorder.

The tRNA-Cys-GCA Derived tsRNAs Suppress Tumor Progression of Gliomas via Regulating VAV2.

The tsRNAs (tRNA-derived small RNAs) are new types of small noncoding RNAs derived from tRNAs. Gliomas are well-known malignant brain tumors. The study focused on tsRNA characterizations within gliomas. Datasets processing, bioinformatics analyses, and visualizations were performed with the packages of Python and R. Cell proliferations were demonstrated via CCK8 assays and colony formation assays, and in vivo xenograft experiments. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm the binding of tsRNA with its targets. Via using bioinformatics approaches, the hundreds of tsRNAs with available expression abundance were identified in gliomas dataset, most of them derived from D-loop or T-loop fragments of tRNAs. Among tsRNAs derived from tRNA-Cys-GCA, tRFdb-3003a and tRFdb-3003b (tRFdb-3003a/b) were remarkably down-regulated in gliomas. The survival outcome of gliomas patients with low tRFdb-3003a/b expressions was notably worse than that of high-expression patients. In glioma cells, tRFdb-3003a could suppress cells proliferation and colony formation ability. In vivo, tRFdb-3003a suppressed the tumor growth of xenograft gliomas. Enrichment analyses displayed the tRFdb-3003a-related mRNAs were enriched in the specific GO terms, spliceosome and autophagy pathways, and three GSEA molecular signatures. Mechanically, 3'-UTR regions of VAV2 mRNA were predicted to contain the binding positions of tRFdb-3003a/b, tRFdb-3003a and tRFdb-3003b was effective to reduce the relative luciferase activity of cells with VAV2 wild-type reporter. Overexpression of tRFdb-3003a/b could down-regulated the expression levels of VAV2 protein and mRNA in glioma cells. The tRNA-Cys-GCA derived tRFdb-3003a and tRFdb-3003b might act as key player in tumor progressions of gliomas; tRFdb-3003a/b might directly bind to VAV2 and regulate VAV2 expressions in gliomas.

Patterns of immune infiltration and survival in endocrine therapy-treated ER-positive breast cancer: A computational study of 1900 patients.

Tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs) play a critical role in breast cancer (BC) prognosis, but little is known regarding the efficacy of endocrine therapy in patients with ER-positive BC with diverse immunological phenotypes. To investigate whether TIICs affect survival after endocrine therapy in patients with different BC molecular subtypes, data were gathered from six studies totaling 1900 samples. CIBERSORTx was used to analyze the invasion of 22 immune cell subpopulations using a bulk gene expression profile. The relationships of immune-related metagenes and immune cell subsets with survival (distant metastasis-free survival, relapse-free survival, and overall survival) were studied using Cox regression models with cell proportions modeled in quartiles. The immune score and IGHG3 and LCK gene activity were linked to a better prognosis. Among the immune cells, monocytes, resting CD4+ memory T cells and plasma cells were correlated with prolonged survival, while neutrophils, Tregs, M0 macrophages, and M2 macrophages were associated with an unfavorable prognosis. Similar effects were reported for the luminal A subtype. In the luminal B subtype, γδ T cells and eosinophils were favorable prognostic factors. Covariate-adjusted multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that high proportions of resting CD4+ memory T cells and resting dendritic cells were correlated with a good prognosis. Meanwhile, neutrophils were associated with an unfavorable prognosis. Understanding how monocytes and macrophages interact in the tumor microenvironment may be a promising study focus. Comprehensive research on the cellular immune response in tumors could help facilitate the development of new treatments.

Gut microbiota and host Cyp450s co-contribute to pharmacokinetic variability in mice with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis: Effects vary from drug to drug.

INTRODUCTION: Pharmacokinetic variability in disease state is common in clinical practice, but its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Recently, gut microbiota has been considered to be pharmacokinetically equivalent to the host liver. Although some studies have explored the roles of gut microbiota and host Cyp450s in drug pharmacokinetics, few have explored their effects on pharmacokinetic variability, especially in disease states. OBJECTIVES: In this study, we aim to investigate the effects of gut microbiota and host Cyp450s on pharmacokinetic variability in mice with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and to elucidate the contribution of gut microbiota and host Cyp450s to pharmacokinetic variability in this setting. METHODS: The pharmacokinetic variability of mice with NASH was explored under intragastric and intravenous administrations of a cocktail mixture of omeprazole, phenacetin, midazolam, tolbutamide, chlorzoxazone, and metoprolol, after which the results were compared with those obtained from the control group. Thereafter, the pharmacokinetic variabilities of all drugs and their relations to the changes in gut microbiota and host Cyp450s were compared and analyzed. RESULTS: The exposures of all drugs, except metoprolol, significantly increased in the NASH group under intragastric administration. However, no significant increase in the exposure of all drugs, except tolbutamide, was observed in the NASH group under intravenous administration. The pharmacokinetic variabilities of phenacetin, midazolam, omeprazole, and chlorzoxazone were mainly associated with decreased elimination activity in the gut microbiota. By contrast, the pharmacokinetic variability of tolbutamide was mainly related to the change in the host Cyp2c65. Notably, gut microbiota and host Cyp450s exerted minimal effects on the pharmacokinetic variability of metoprolol. CONCLUSION: Gut microbiota and host Cyp450s co-contribute to the pharmacokinetic variability in mice with NASH, and the degree of contribution varies from drug to drug. The present findings provide new insights into the explanation of pharmacokinetic variability in disease states.

The Relationship Among Intestinal Bacteria, Vitamin K and Response of Vitamin K Antagonist: A Review of Evidence and Potential Mechanism.

The vitamin K antagonist is a commonly prescribed effective oral anticoagulant with a narrow therapeutic range, and the dose requirements for different patients varied greatly. In recent years, studies on human intestinal microbiome have provided many valuable insights into disease development and drug reactions. A lot of studies indicated the potential relationship between microbiome and the vitamin K antagonist. Vitamin K is absorbed by the gut, and the intestinal bacteria are a major source of vitamin K in human body. A combined use of the vitamin K antagonist and antibiotics may result in an increase in INR, thus elevating the risk of bleeding, while vitamin K supplementation can improve stability of anticoagulation for oral vitamin K antagonist treatment. Recently, how intestinal bacteria affect the response of the vitamin K antagonist remains unclear. In this review, we reviewed the research, focusing on the physiology of vitamin K in the anticoagulation treatment, and investigated the potential pathways of intestinal bacteria affecting the reaction of the vitamin K antagonist.

Effect of Washed Microbiota Transplantation on Patients With Dyslipidemia in South China.

Background and Aims: Although the manual crude fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) reduces blood lipids in animal models of hyperlipidemia, its clinical effect on blood lipid metabolism in patients with hyperlipidemia and hypolipidemia remains unclear, especially in the Chinese population. It was reported that washed microbiota transplantation (WMT) was safer, more precise, and more quality-controllable than the crude FMT by manual. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of WMT on lipid metabolism in the Chinese population. Methods: Clinical data of patients with various indications who received WMT for 1-3 treatment procedures were collected. Changes in blood lipids before and after WMT, namely, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), liver fat attenuation, and liver stiffness measurement, were compared. Results: A total of 177 patients (40 cases of hyperlipidemia, 87 cases with normal blood lipids, and 50 cases of hypolipidemia) were enrolled in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University. WMT has a significant therapeutic effect in reducing blood lipid levels (TC and TG) in the short- and medium term in patients with hyperlipidemia (p <0.05). Hyper blood lipid decreased to normal in the short-term (35.14%; p <0.001), and LDL-C changed to normal in the medium term (33.33%; p = 0.013). In the hypolipidemia group, 36.36% and 47.06% changed to normal in the short-term (p = 0.006) and medium term (p = 0.005) of therapeutic effects based on blood lipid levels. In the normal blood lipid group and the low-risk group of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), the change was not statistically significant, indicating that WMT does not increase the risk of blood lipid and ASCVD in the long-term. Conclusions: WMT treatment changes blood lipids in patients with hyperlipidemia and hypolipidemia without serious adverse events, with no risk for increasing blood lipids and ASCVD in the long-term. There were significant decreased TC, TG, and LDL-C levels in the medium term of WMT treatment for hyperlipidemia. Therefore, the regulation of gut microbiota by WMT may indicate a new clinical method for the treatment of dyslipidemia.

WGCNA-Based DNA Methylation Profiling Analysis on Allopurinol-Induced Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions: A DNA Methylation Signature for Predisposing Drug Hypersensitivity.

BACKGROUND: The role of aberrant DNA methylation in allopurinol-induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) is incompletely understood. To fill the gap, we analyze the DNA methylation profiling in allopurinol-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) patients and identify the DNA methylation signature for predisposing allopurinol hypersensitivity. METHODS: Genome-scale methylation analysis was conducted using the Illumina® HumanMethylation450 BeadChip. Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was utilized to analyze the data. RESULTS: A total of 21,497 annotated promoter regions were analyzed. Ten modules were identified between allopurinol hypersensitivity and tolerance, with turquoise and yellow modules being the most significant correlation. ATG13, EPM2AIP1, and SRSF11 were the top three hub genes in the turquoise module. MIR412, MIR369, and MIR409 were the top three hub genes in the yellow module. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis revealed that the turquoise module was related to the metabolic process in intracellular organelles and the binding of various compounds, proteins, or nucleotides. The yellow module, however, was related to stimulus sensory perception in cytoskeletal elements and the activity of the receptor or transducer. CONCLUSION: DNA methylation plays a vital role in allopurinol-induced SCARs. DNA methylation profiling of SJS/TEN is significantly related to autophagy and microRNAs (miRNAs).

A Joint Technology Combining the Advantages of Capillary Microsampling with Mass Spectrometry Applied to the Trans-Resveratrol Pharmacokinetic Study in Mice.

Mice are the most frequently used animals in pharmacokinetic studies; however, collecting series of blood samples from mice is difficult because of their small sizes and tiny vessels. In addition, due to the small sample size, it is problematic to perform high required quantification. Thus, present work aims to find an effective strategy for overcoming these challenges using trans-resveratrol as a tool drug. Based on the idea of a joint technology, the capillary microsampling (CMS) was chosen for blood sample collection from mice after delivery of trans-resveratrol (150 mg/kg) by gavage, and a high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method was developed for the determination of trans-resveratrol and its main metabolites. All the mouse blood samples were exactly collected by CMS without obvious deviation. This provided credible samples for subsequent quantitative analysis. The HPLC-MS/MS method was found to be sensitive, accurate, and repeatable, and the pharmacokinetic parameters for all analytes were comparable with those reported in previous studies. However, the present joint technology offers the advantages of less animal damage, easy for sample preparation, and improved reliability. It has overcome some of the major limitations revealed in previous pharmacokinetic studies in mice and therefore provides a more effective option for future studies.

Ferrostatin-1 obviates seizures and associated cognitive deficits in ferric chloride-induced posttraumatic epilepsy via suppressing ferroptosis.

Posttraumatic epilepsy (PTE) is a prevalent complication of brain trauma. Current anti-epileptic drugs available do not have satisfactory response to PTE. It is of desperate need to explore novel therapeutic approaches for curing PTE. Our prior work revealed that ferroptosis, a recently discovered mode of cell death, occurs in rodent model of PTE. In the present study, we aimed to further investigate the effect of ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1), a specific ferroptosis inhibitor, on seizure behavior and cognitive deficit in a mouse model of PTE. The preparation of PTE was performed by stereotaxical injection in the somatosensory cortex region of 50 mM FeCl3. Seizure activity was assessed via Racine scoring and electroencephalogram analysis. PTE-related cognitive function was evaluated by novel object recognition and Morris water maze tests. Ferroptosis-related indices including glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity and protein expressions of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) were detected using a commercial kit and immunofluorescence, respectively. It was found that treatment with Fer-1 significantly exerted protective effects against acute seizure and memory decline, although no evident effect on epileptic progression. Fer-1 also exhibited good tolerability and safety as we observed that it hardly influenced the body weight. Furthermore, it was noted that administration of Fer-1 suppressed ferroptosis-related indices including GPx activity and protein expressions of 4-HNE in hippocampus. These data altogether indicate that Fer-1 has potent therapeutic effects against seizures and cognitive impairment following PTE-induced brain insult. Fer-1 may act as a promising drug for curing PTE patients.

Distinctive quality control method for solid-state fermented Isaria cicadae from strain Ic-17-7 and application in a rat model of type 2 diabetes.

This work was aimed to establish a quality control method for evaluating the effects on glucose and lipids of the fruiting body of Isaria cicadae Miquel from strain Ic-17-7 (Ic-17-7fb) using a rat model of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Random amplified polymorphic DNA, sequence-characterized amplified region, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were used for the quality control of Ic-17-7fb. The pharmacological effects on streptozocin (STZ)-induced high fat diet (HFD)-fed Albino Wistar rats were evaluated. The rats underwent the following treatments: control, metformin, Ic-17-7fb (0.166 and 0.5 g·kg-1) or without treatment. The fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood glucose, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-c), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-c) were measured. Ic-17-7fb amplified a single specific band by S11-2-F3 and S11-2-R3 primers. An HPLC-based quality and quantity method was established for industrial application. The contents of adenosine and N6-(2-hydroxyethyl) adenosine (HEA) of the cultivated Ic-17-7fb were analyzed. All of the validation lots of cultured Ic-17-7fb passed the quantity control of the training set (0.90 mg·g-1 of adenosine and 0.89 mg·g-1 of HEA). After two weeks of administration, the average FBG was 4.89 ± 0.42 (control), 26.10 ± 5.77 (model), 23.63 ± 6.15 (metformin), 17.96 ± 9.36 (Ic-17-7fb for 0.166 g·kg-1), and 19.69 ± 8.71 mmol·L-1 (Ic-17-7fb for 0.5 g·kg-1). The FBG of Ic-17-7fb (0.166 g·kg-1) treatment significantly reduced by 31.19%, compared with the model after two weeks of administration (P < 0.01). Metformin, Ic-17-7fb (0.166 g·kg -1), and Ic-17-7fb (0.5 g·kg-1) reduced TC, TG, HDL-c, and LDL-c compared with the T2DM model treatment at the 6th week of treatment (P < 0.05). This study established the first quality standard for Ic-17-7fb, which can be effectively applied in the treatment of T2DM. The reliable quality control method and pharmacological effect will broaden its application space.

Lrp6 Genotype affects Individual Susceptibility to Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Silibinin Therapeutic Response via Wnt/ß-catenin-Cyp2e1 Signaling.

Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a serious threat to human health worldwide, with a high genetic susceptibility. Rs2302685, a functional germline variant of LRP6, has been recently found to associate with NAFLD risk. This study was aimed to clarify the underlying mechanism associated with rs2302685 risk and its impact on pharmacotherapy in treatment of NAFLD. Methods: Venous blood samples were collected from NAFLD and non-NAFLD patients for SNP genotyping by using mass spectrometry. The Lrp6-floxdel mouse (Lrp6(+/-)) was generated to model the partial function associated with human rs2302685. The liver injury and therapeutic effects of silibinin were compared between Lrp6(+/-) and Lrp6(+/+) mice received a methionine-choline deficient (MCD) diet or normal diet. The effect of Lrp6 functional alteration on Wnt/ß-catenin-Cyp2e1 signaling activities was evaluated by a series of cellular and molecular assays. Results: The T allele of LRP6 rs2302685 was confirmed to associate with a higher risk of NAFLD in human subjects. The carriers of rs2302685 had reduced level of AST and ALT as compared with the noncarriers. The Lrp6(+/-) mice exhibited a less severe liver injury induced by MCD but a reduced response to the treatment of silibinin in comparison to the Lrp6(+/+) mice, suggesting Lrp6 as a target of silibinin. Wnt/ß-catenin-Cyp2e1 signaling together with ROS generation could be exacerbated by the overexpression of Lrp6, while decreased in response to Lrp6 siRNA or silibinin treatment under NAFLD modeling. Conclusions: The Lrp6 function affects individual susceptibility to NAFLD and the therapeutic effect of silibinin through the Wnt/ß-catenin-Cyp2e1 signaling pathway. The present work has provided an underlying mechanism for human individual susceptibility to NAFLD associated with Lrp6 polymorphisms as well as a rationale for the effective use of silibinin in NAFLD patients.

Non-Coding RNA Polymorphisms (rs2910164 and rs1333049) Associated With Prognosis of Lung Cancer Under Platinum-Based Chemotherapy.

Purpose: Lung cancer is the largest cause of cancer deaths in the world. Platinum-based chemotherapy is a foundation of first-line chemotherapy. However, the prognosis of lung cancer treated with platinum-based chemotherapy is still a challenge. Single nucleotide polymorphism of non-coding RNA has the potential to be a biomarker, but its effectiveness has yet to be comprehensively assessed. In this study, we explored the association between polymorphisms of non-coding RNA and prognosis of lung cancer patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy. Materials and Methods: For 446 lung cancer patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy, 22 single nucleotide polymorphisms of microRNA and long noncoding RNA were genotyped by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Cox regression analysis, Kaplan-Meier method, and long-rank test have been performed to assess the association of overall and progression-free survival with polymorphisms. Results: In the additive and dominant models, genetic polymorphism of ANRIL rs1333049 (G > C) was significantly associated with progression-free survival. Additive model: CC vs GC vs GG [HR = 0.84, p = 0.021, 95% CI (0.73-0.97)]; Recessive model: CC vs GG + GC [HR = 0.77, p = 0.026, 95% CI (0.61-0.97)]. In the dominant model, compared with the CC genotype patients, lower risk of death [HR = 0.81, p = 0.036, 95% CI (0.66-0.99)] and lower risk of progression [HR = 0.81, p = 0.040, 95% CI (0.67-0.99)] have been observed on the patients with CG or GG genotype in miR-146A rs2910164. Conclusion: Our research demonstrated the potential of using ANRIL rs1333049 (G > C) and miR-146A rs2910164 (C > G) as biomarkers to support the prediction of a better prognosis for lung cancer patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy.
