Abstract
Although annexin A1 (ANXA1), a 37 kDa phospholipid‑binding anti‑inflammatory protein expressed in various tissues and cell types, has been investigated extensively for its regulatory role in cancer biology, studies have mainly focused on its intracellular role. However, cancer cells and stromal cells expressing ANXA1 have the ability to transmit signals within the tumor microenvironment (TME) through autocrine, juxtacrine, or paracrine signaling. This bidirectional crosstalk between cancer cells and their environment is also crucial for cancer progression, contributing to uncontrolled tumor proliferation, invasion, metastasis and resistance to therapy. The present review explored the important role of ANXA1 in regulating the cell‑specific crosstalk between various compartments of the TME and analyzed the guiding significance of the crosstalk effects in promotion or suppressing cancer progression in the development of cancer treatments. The literature shows that ANXA1 is critical for the regulation of the TME, indicating that ANXA1 signaling between cancer cells and the TME is a potential therapeutic target for the development of novel therapeutic approaches for impeding cancer development.

Monti Hughes A, Hu N. Optimizing Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) to Treat Cancer: An Updated Review on the Latest Developments on Boron Compounds and Strategies. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:4091. [PMID: 37627119 PMCID: PMC10452654 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15164091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a tumor-selective particle radiotherapy. It combines preferential boron accumulation in tumors and neutron irradiation. The recent initiation of BNCT clinical trials employing hospital-based accelerators rather than nuclear reactors as the neutron source will conceivably pave the way for new and more numerous clinical trials, leading up to much-needed randomized trials. In this context, it would be interesting to consider the implementation of new boron compounds and strategies that will significantly optimize BNCT. With this aim in mind, we analyzed, in this review, those articles published between 2020 and 2023 reporting new boron compounds and strategies that were proved therapeutically useful in in vitro and/or in vivo radiobiological studies, a critical step for translation to a clinical setting. We also explored new pathologies that could potentially be treated with BNCT and newly developed theranostic boron agents. All these radiobiological advances intend to solve those limitations and questions that arise during patient treatment in the clinical field, with BNCT and other therapies. In this sense, active communication between clinicians, radiobiologists, and all disciplines will improve BNCT for cancer patients, in a cost- and time-effective way.

Tumor-infiltrating CD36 +CD8 +T cells determine exhausted tumor microenvironment and correlate with inferior response to chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer. BMC Cancer 2023; 23:367. [PMID: 37085798 PMCID: PMC10120154 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-10836-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 04/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The scavenger receptor CD36 was reported to be highly expressed on tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells, but the clinical role remains obscure. This study aims to explore the infiltration and clinical value of CD36+CD8+ T cells in NSCLC. METHODS Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were conducted for survival analyses and immunological evaluation in 232 NSCLC patients in Zhongshan Hospital. Flow cytometry analyses were carried out to assess the immune cells from fresh tumor samples, non-tumor tissues and peripheral blood. In vitro tumor infiltrating lymphocytes cultures were conducted to test the effect of CD36 blockage. RESULTS Accumulation of CD36+CD8+ T cells in tumor tissues was correlated with more advanced stage (p < 0.001), larger tumor size (p < 0.01), and lymph node metastasis (p < 0.0001) in NSCLC. Moreover, high infiltration of CD36+CD8+ T cells indicated poor prognosis in terms of both overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) and inferior chemotherapy response. CD36+CD8+ T cells showed decreased GZMB (p < 0.0001) and IFN-γ (p < 0.001) with elevated PD-1 (p < 0.0001) and TIGIT (p < 0.0001). Analysis of tumor-infiltrating immune cell landscape revealed a positive correlation between CD36+CD8+ T cells and Tregs (p < 0.01) and M2-polarized macrophages (p < 0.01) but a negative correlation with Th1 (p < 0.05). Notably, inhibition of CD36 partially restored the cytotoxic function of CD8+ T cells by producing more GZMB and IFN-γ. CONCLUSION CD36+CD8+ T cells exhibit impaired immune function and high infiltration of CD36+CD8+ T cells indicated poor prognosis and inferior chemotherapy response in NSCLC patients. CD36 could be a therapeutic target in combination with chemotherapy in NSCLC patients.

Anti-tumor effect of boron neutron capture therapy in pelvic human colorectal cancer in a mouse model. Biomed Pharmacother 2022; 154:113632.

Abstract
Local recurrence of colorectal cancer (CRC) can occur in patients after curative resection, and additional surgical resection may therefore be required; however, this is a significant burden for patients, because additional surgical resection may necessitate the resection of other organs such as the bladder, prostate, uterus, or sacral bone. Therefore, there is a need for alternative therapeutic strategies. We focused on boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) as a treatment modality that can selectively target tumor cells without excessive damage to normal tissues. The usefulness of BNCT to pelvic CRC remains unknown. This study investigated the anti-cancer effect of boronophenylalanine (BPA)-mediated BNCT in a previously established mouse model of pelvic recurrence of CRC. Uptake of BPA in CRC was observed both in vitro and in vivo, and the concentrations were sufficient for BNCT. Our results are the first to show that BPA-mediated BNCT prolonged the survival of experimental mice with pelvic tumors; moreover, it did not cause any obvious severe side effects in the treated animals. In conclusion, BPA-mediated BNCT could contribute to treating local recurrence of pelvic CRC.

Abstract
Translational research in adequate experimental models is necessary to optimize boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for different pathologies. Multiple radiobiological in vivo studies have been performed in a wide variety of animal models, studying multiple boron compounds, routes of compound administration, and a range of administration strategies. Animal models are useful for the study of the stability and potential toxicity of new boron compounds or delivery systems, BNCT theranostic strategies, the evaluation of biomarkers to monitor BNCT therapeutic and adverse effects, and to study the BNCT immune response by the host against tumor cells. This article will mention examples of these studies, highlighting the importance of experimental animal models for the advancement of BNCT. Animal models are essential to design novel, safe, and effective clinical BNCT protocols for existing or new targets for BNCT.

Abstract
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a tumour selective particle radiotherapy, based on the administration of boron carriers incorporated preferentially by tumour cells, followed by irradiation with a thermal or epithermal neutron beam. BNCT clinical results to date show therapeutic efficacy, associated with an improvement in patient quality of life and prolonged survival. Translational research in adequate experimental models is necessary to optimise BNCT for different pathologies. This review recapitulates some examples of BNCT radiobiological studies for different pathologies and clinical scenarios, strategies to optimise boron targeting, enhance BNCT therapeutic effect and minimise radiotoxicity. It also describes the radiobiological mechanisms induced by BNCT, and the importance of the detection of biomarkers to monitor and predict the therapeutic efficacy and toxicity of BNCT alone or combined with other strategies. Besides, there is a brief comment on the introduction of accelerator-based neutron sources in BNCT. These sources would expand the clinical BNCT services to more patients, and would help to make BNCT a standard treatment modality for various types of cancer. Radiobiological BNCT studies have been of utmost importance to make progress in BNCT, being essential to design novel, safe and effective clinical BNCT protocols.

Abstract
Boron neutron capture therapy is based on a nuclear reaction between the nonradioactive isotope boron-10 and either low-energy thermal neutrons or high-energy epithermal neutrons, which generate high linear energy transfer α particles and a recoiled lithium nucleus (7 Li) that selectively destroys the DNA helix in tumor cells. Boron neutron capture therapy is an emerging procedure aimed at improving the therapeutic ratio for the traditional treatment of various malignancies, which has been studied clinically in a variety of diseases, including glioblastoma, head and neck cancer, cutaneous melanoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, lung cancer, and extramammary Paget's disease. However, boron neutron capture therapy has not been clinically performed for urological cancers, excluding genital extramammary Paget's disease that appeared at the scrotum to penis area. In this review, we aimed to provide an updated summary of the current clinical literature of patients treated with boron neutron capture therapy and to focus on the future prospects of boron neutron capture therapy for urological cancers.
