Impact of Surgery-Induced Myeloid-derived Suppressor Cells and the NOX2/ROS Axis on Postoperative Survival in Human Pancreatic Cancer. CANCER RESEARCH COMMUNICATIONS 2024; 4:1135-1149. [PMID: 38598844 PMCID: PMC11044860 DOI: 10.1158/2767-9764.crc-23-0447] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
Preclinical studies imply that surgery triggers inflammation that may entail tumor outgrowth and metastasis. The potential impact of surgery-induced inflammation in human pancreatic cancer is insufficiently explored. This study included 17 patients with periampullary cancer [pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) n = 14, ampullary carcinoma n = 2, cholangiocarcinoma n = 1] undergoing major pancreatic cancer surgery with curative intent. We analyzed the potential impact of preoperative and postoperative immune phenotypes and function on postoperative survival with >30 months follow-up. The surgery entailed prompt expansion of monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSC) that generated NOX2-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS). Strong induction of immunosuppressive M-MDSC after surgery predicted poor postoperative survival and coincided with reduced functionality of circulating natural killer (NK) cells. The negative impact of surgery-induced M-MDSC on survival remained significant in separate analysis of patients with PDAC. M-MDSC-like cells isolated from patients after surgery significantly suppressed NK cell function ex vivo, which was reversed by inhibition of NOX2-derived ROS. High NOX2 subunit expression within resected tumors from patients with PDAC correlated with poor survival whereas high expression of markers of cytotoxic cells associated with longer survival. The surgery-induced myeloid inflammation was recapitulated in vivo in a murine model of NK cell-dependent metastasis. Surgical stress thus induced systemic accumulation of M-MDSC-like cells and promoted metastasis of NK cell-sensitive tumor cells. Genetic or pharmacologic suppression of NOX2 reduced surgery-induced inflammation and distant metastasis in this model. We propose that NOX2-derived ROS generated by surgery-induced M-MDSC may be targeted for improved outcome after pancreatic cancer surgery. SIGNIFICANCE Pancreatic cancer surgery triggered pronounced accumulation of NOX2+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells that inhibited NK cell function and negatively prognosticated postoperative patient survival. We propose the targeting of M-MDSC as a conceivable strategy to reduce postoperative immunosuppression in pancreatic cancer.

Remission from the 5-Fu-Based Chemotherapy to Gemcitabine-Based Chemotherapy-Based on the Pathological Classification of Periampullary Carcinoma: A Case Report and Literature Review. Onco Targets Ther 2022; 15:891-896. [PMID: 36046466 PMCID: PMC9423042 DOI: 10.2147/ott.s372053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Periampullary carcinoma, which includes ampullary carcinoma, pancreatic head cancer, distal common bile duct cancer, and duodenal papillary cancer, is a relatively rare malignancy with uncertain therapeutic options. Although several studies have investigated the efficacy of multiple adjuvant chemotherapy regimens for periampullary carcinoma treatment, the optimal regimen remains to be determined. The inherent heterogeneity of the mucosal origin divides periampullary carcinoma into intestinal and pancreaticobiliary types. Therefore, the selection of chemotherapy regimens based on pathological type may have potential therapeutic significance. Case Presentation A 72-year-old woman with moderately differentiated periampullary adenocarcinoma experienced disease progression after receiving FOLFOX regimen. Subsequently, the sample was subtyped first by H&E evaluation and then by the evaluation of an IHC panel composed of CK20, CDX2, MUC1, MUC2, and MUC5AC. The pathologists concluded that the patient’s sample was of the pancreaticobiliary (PB) subtype. The subsequent change to gemcitabine plus S-1 adjuvant therapy achieved remission of liver metastases based on the pathological classification of the cancer. Conclusion Based on the pathological classification, adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine may be beneficial for patients with PB subtype periampullary carcinoma. 5-Fu-based adjuvant chemotherapy may be beneficial for patients with intestinal subtype periampullary carcinoma.

[PMID: 35397420 PMCID: PMC9006738 DOI: 10.1016/j.tranon.2022.101414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 03/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
The efficacy of adjuvant therapy for periampullary carcinoma is controversial. There is a trend of classification periampullary carcinoma into PB-type and IN-type, and the prognosis of different subtypes may be significantly different. The PB-type patients who accepted gemcitabine based chemotherapy and IN-type patients who accepted 5-FU based chemotherapy, maybe improved the prognosis. Chemoradiotherapy appears to be more effective in patients with advanced stages. There are few related studies on targeted therapy and immunotherapy, and further research is needed.
Objective This review investigates the role of adjuvant therapy (AT) and the importance of histopathological typing in periampullary carcinoma (PAC) treatment. Background PAC is a relatively rare gastrointestinal malignancy. The regimen and effect of AT in PAC are still controversial. However, there is a treatment based on histopathological types (pancreaticobiliary-type, PB-type or intestinal-type, IN-type), but there are no clear guidelines indicating that typing can be used to guide the selection of AT drugs. Methods A literature search of PubMed and Web of Science databases was conducted for studies published from January 2001 to August 2021 on the use of AT in PAC. Results A total of 75 studies were included in this review. According to existing studies, AT for PAC is mostly based on 5-FU or gemcitabine, but the effect is unknown. However, when PAC is classified into different histopathological types, AT with gemcitabine is beneficial for patients with the PB-type of PAC, while 5-FU-based AT is beneficial for patients with the IN-type of PAC. In addition, the benefits of AT are more pronounced in patients with a high-risk disease, such as patients with stage II/III, T3/T4 tumors, or positive lymph node involvement. There are few studies on targeted therapy and immunotherapy for PAC. Conclusions This review suggests that AT has potential survival benefits, especially when based on the histopathologic type that helps the choice of drugs during AT in PAC patients.

Prognostic significance of preoperative Naples prognostic score on short- and long-term outcomes after pancreatoduodenectomy for ampullary carcinoma. Hepatobiliary Surg Nutr 2021; 10:825-838. [PMID: 35004948 DOI: 10.21037/hbsn-20-741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2020] [Accepted: 01/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Naples prognostic score (NPS) is an effective and objective tool to assess the immune-nutritional status of patients with malignant tumors. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of preoperative NPS on short- and long-term outcomes after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for ampullary carcinoma. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 404 consecutive patients with ampullary carcinoma who underwent PD between January 2012 and June 2018. Preoperative NPS was calculated from serum albumin and total cholesterol concentrations, and the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR). Patients were then divided into three groups according to their NPS. Clinicopathological variables, postoperative outcomes, and survival data were compared between the three groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis of overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were also conducted, and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were created to evaluate the discriminatory ability of the prognostic scoring systems. RESULTS Patients with higher NPS had worse prognosis, and significant OS difference (group 0 vs. 1, P=0.02; group 1 vs. 2, P<0.001; group 0 vs. 2, P<0.001) and RFS difference (group 0 vs. 1, P=0.088; group 1 vs. 2, P<0.001; group 0 vs. 2, P<0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that NPS was an independent significant predictor of OS (grade 2 vs. grade 1 or 0, hazard ratio: 3.067; P<0.001) and RFS (grade 2 vs. grade 1 or 0, hazard ratio: 2.732; P<0.001). The time-dependent receiver operating curve analysis showed that NPS had better prognostic performance for OS and RFS than other prognostic models. Additionally, significant differences in the incidence of postoperative morbidity were observed between the three groups, and the NPS was an independent risk factor of overall postoperative complications (grade 2 vs. grade 1 or 0, odds ratio: 1.692; P=0.02). CONCLUSIONS The NPS was an independent predictor of overall- and RFS in patients undergoing PD for ampullary carcinoma, and was independently associated with the incidence of postoperative complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some pancreatic tumors considered resectable on the preoperative staging are unresectable during surgical exploration. Moreover, some patients subjected to tumor resection have an early recurrence. METHODS Patients with pancreatic or periampullary carcinoma diagnosed between January 2005 and August 2017 in Hospital Prof. Doutor Fernando Fonseca were retrospectively analyzed. Biochemical and radiological inflammatory biomarkers were compared according to disease staging at diagnosis, intraoperative staging and early recurrence (<6 months). RESULTS 391 patients were included. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-tomonocyte ratio, C-reactive-protein-to-albuminemia ratio (CRP/ALB), Prognostic Nutritional Index, modified Glasgow Prognostic Score and CA19-9 were associated with metastatic disease at diagnosis. NLR, CRP/ALB, mGPS and CA19-9 were independent predictors of disease staging at diagnosis on multivariate analysis. 108 patients underwent surgery, of which 23,8% were found to have unresectable disease at intra-operative staging. 26,9% had early disease recurrence. CRP/ALB and CA19-9 were significantly higher in patients with evidence of disease at 6 months postoperatively. Computed tomography sarcopenia index HUAC was significantly lower in patients with evidence of disease at 6 months postoperatively. When adjusted for histology, none of the biomarkers were independent predictors of unresectable disease or early recurrence. CONCLUSIONS NLR, CRP/ALB, mGPS and CA19-9 at diagnosis were predictors of disease staging with low performance. Preoperative inflammatory biomarkers were not predictors of unresectable disease or early recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several indicators of systemic inflammation and nutritional status were recently shown to serve as novel prognostic factors for certain cancers. Here, we aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of preoperative indicators of systemic inflammation and nutritional status associated with the survival of patients with resected ampulla of Vater carcinoma (AC). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the records of 91 patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for AC from January 2002 through December 2018. Indices for systemic inflammation and nutritional status (Systemic immune-inflammation index [SII], Prognostic nutritional index [PNI], modified Glasgow prognostic score [mGPS], and Controlling nutritional status score [CONUT]) were determined using preoperative blood tests. Clinicopathological factors and these indices were analyzed to identify predictors of overall survival (OS). RESULTS The median preoperative SII and PNI values were 456.7 and 47.5, respectively, and their optimal cut-off values were 670.0 and 50.0, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that high SII, low PNI, mGPS ≥ 1, and malnutrition, assessed using the CONUT, were significant predictors of shorter OS. Multivariate analysis revealed that high SII (HR = 2.71, p = 0.023) and malnutrition assessed using the CONUT (hazard ratio = 3.98, p = 0.006) were independent predictors of shorter OS. CONCLUSION SII and the CONUT predicted the survival of patients with AC after radical resection. These indicators are easily calculated using preoperative blood tests and may contribute to the development of improved strategies to treat AC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ampullary carcinoma patients require radical resection for optimal survival; however, the outcomes are often unsatisfactory. The utility of adjuvant therapy among such patients is unclear, probably owing to its potential side effects. Therefore, this study investigated the benefits and safety of adjuvant therapy in resected ampullary carcinoma. METHODS Cochrane, Embase, Medline, and PubMed databases were systematically searched for eligible studies, and those comparing adjuvant therapy and surgical treatment alone were included. Hazard ratios for survival outcomes and the number of adverse events for safety endpoints were extracted and subjected to pooled analyses through a random-effects model. RESULTS In total, 27 studies involving 3,538 patients were included. Adjuvant therapy was significantly associated with decreased mortality risk (hazard ratio, 0.58; 95% confidence interval 0.40-0.84), especially for chemoradiotherapy (hazard ratio, 0.42; 95% confidence interval 0.28-0.62). Furthermore, adjuvant therapy was significantly associated with increased overall survival among high-risk patients (hazard ratio, 0.63; 95% confidence interval 0.48-0.82) or those with the pancreaticobiliary subtype (hazard ratio, 0.53; 95% confidence interval 0.32-0.85). By contrast, adjuvant therapy was not associated with improved overall survival among low-risk patients (hazard ratio, 0.93; 95% confidence interval 0.52-1.68) or those with the intestinal subtype (hazard ratio, 1.06; 95% confidence interval 0.57-1.95). Regarding the safety of adjuvant therapy, no intervention-related mortality occurred, and severe adverse events were within the acceptable range (risk difference, 0.04; 95% confidence interval 0.01-0.08). CONCLUSION The present results suggest that adjuvant therapy is safe and extends survival in high-risk patients or those with the pancreaticobiliary subtype of ampullary carcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) in ampulla of Vater (AoV) cancer is indiscriminately performed without logical backgrounds. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of PBD on short and long-term outcomes in AoV cancer. METHODS 313 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy and were pathologically diagnosed as AoV cancer between January 2000 and December 2014 were reviewed. RESULTS 167 patients (53.4%) underwent PBD: Endoscopic drainage was performed in 106 patients (33.9%) and percutaneous drainage in 61 (19.5%). The postoperative complication rate of PBD group was significantly higher than that of upfront surgery group (48.5% vs. 38.4%, p = 0.045). The 5-year disease-free survival rate (5Y-DFSR) was significantly lower in PBD group compared to upfront surgery group (53.8% vs. 74.3%, p < 0.001). Worse 5Y-DFSR of PBD group was more evident in T1/T2 stage (59.2% vs. 84.1%, p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis with T1/T2 staged patients, PBD was independently associated with worse outcome (hazard ratio 2.145 [95% confidence interval, 1.202-3.826], p = 0.010). CONCLUSION For T1/T2 AoV cancer, PBD adversely affected the short-term postoperative complication rate as well as the long-term oncologic outcomes. Therefore, especially in patients with T1/T2 AoV cancer, routine practice of PBD should be refrained and be reserved for selected cases such as cholangitis.

Abstract
Ampullary cancer is a relatively rare gastrointestinal malignancy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate prognostic factors for survival and assess the benefits of adjuvant therapy following pancreaticoduodenectomy for this entity. Medline and EMBASE databases were searched to identify eligible studies from January 2000 to August 2019. Review Manager 5.3 statistical software was used for meta-analysis. 71 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis for a total of 8280 patients. The median (range) 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates were 58% (32-82%) and 51% (28-73%) respectively. In meta-analysis, age >65 years at diagnosis, tumor size >20 mm, poor differentiation, pancreaticobiliary histotype, pT3-4 stage disease, presence of metastatic lymph node, number of metastatic nodes, perineural invasion, lymphovascular invasion, vascular invasion, pancreatic invasion, and positive surgical margins were independently associated with worse overall survival, whereas adjuvant therapy was associated with improved overall survival. In summary, in patients with ampullary cancer undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy, tumor factors are the main predictors of worse survival and adjuvant treatment confers a survival benefit.
