Abstract
BACKGROUND Potential novel strategies for adverse event (AE) management of osimertinib therapy, including therapeutic drug monitoring and the use of biomarkers, have not yet been fully investigated. This study aimed to evaluate (1) the relationship between exposure to osimertinib, especially its active metabolites (AZ5104 and AZ7550), and AEs, and (2) the relationship between germline polymorphisms and AEs. METHODS We conducted a prospective, longitudinal observational study of 53 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer receiving osimertinib therapy from February 2019 to April 2022. A population pharmacokinetic model was developed to estimate the area under the serum concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h (AUC0-24) of osimertinib and its metabolites. Germline polymorphisms were analyzed using TaqMan® SNP genotyping and CycleavePCR® assays. RESULTS There was a significant association between the AUC0-24 of AZ7550 and grade ≥ 2 paronychia (p = 0.043) or anorexia (p = 0.011) and between that of osimertinib or AZ5104 and grade ≥ 2 diarrhea (p = 0.026 and p = 0.049, respectively). Furthermore, the AUC0-24 of AZ5104 was significantly associated with any grade ≥ 2 AEs (p = 0.046). EGFR rs2293348 and rs4947492 were associated with severe AEs (p = 0.019 and p = 0.050, respectively), and ABCG2 rs2231137 and ABCB1 rs1128503 were associated with grade ≥ 2 AEs (p = 0.008 and p = 0.038, respectively). CONCLUSION Higher exposures to osimertinib, AZ5104, and AZ7550 and polymorphisms in EGFR, ABCG2, and ABCB1 were related to higher severity of AEs; therefore, monitoring these may be beneficial for osimertinib AE management.

EGFR Gene Polymorphism Predicts Improved Outcome in Patients With EGFR Mutation-positive Non-small cell Lung Cancer Treated With Erlotinib. Clin Lung Cancer 2019; 20:161-166.e1. [PMID: 30898568 DOI: 10.1016/j.cllc.2019.02.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2018] [Revised: 01/19/2019] [Accepted: 02/16/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations are successfully treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, treatment outcome varies significantly. Previously, we found the polymorphism 181946C>T (rs2293347) located in exon 25 of the EGFR gene to be a predictor of improved outcome. However, these data were based on a subgroup analysis. Furthermore, other minor studies have found conflicting data. Thus, the aim of this study was to demonstrate the association of 181946C>T with clinical outcome in an independent cohort of EGFR-mutated patients treated with erlotinib. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventy-five patients were prospectively enrolled. Blood samples were collected, and genotype for 181946C>T was determined by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction. Genotype was correlated with outcome. RESULTS In 73 patients, 181946C>T was successfully measured. Patients harboring the 181946CT genotype had a significantly longer median progression-free survival compared with patients harboring the 181946CC genotype (49.9 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 5.9-93.9 months] versus 11.1 months (95% CI, 7.4-14.9 months); P = .020). Moreover, a significantly longer median overall survival of 65.6 months (95% CI, 11.0-120.3 months) versus 31.2 months (95% CI, 10.9-51.6 months) was found (P = .019). Both results remained significant in a multivariate analysis adjusting for potential confounders. CONCLUSION We demonstrate that the 181946C>T polymorphism is a significant predictor of prolonged progression-free survival and overall survival in an independent cohort of EGFR mutation-positive patients treated with erlotinib. The polymorphism could be an important predictor of treatment response in these patients. A large multicenter cohort study involving other concurrent genetic alterations is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A germline deletion in the BIM (BCL2L11) gene has been shown to impair the apoptotic response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in vitro but its association with poor outcomes in TKI-treated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients remains unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on both aggregate and individual patient data to address this issue. RESULTS In an aggregate data meta-analysis (n = 1429), the BIM deletion was associated with inferior PFS (HR = 1.51, 95%CI = 1.06-2.13, P = 0.02). Using individual patient data (n = 1200), we found a significant interaction between the deletion and ethnicity. Amongst non-Koreans, the deletion was an independent predictor of shorter PFS (Chinese: HR = 1.607, 95%CI = 1.251-2.065, P = 0.0002; Japanese: HR = 2.636, 95%CI = 1.603-4.335, P = 0.0001), and OS (HR = 1.457, 95% CI = 1.063-1.997, P = 0.019). In Kaplan-Meier analyses, the BIM deletion was associated with shorter survival in non-Koreans (PFS: 8.0 months v 11.1 months, P < 0.0005; OS: 25.7 v 30.0 months, P = 0.042). In Koreans, the BIM deletion was not predictive of PFS or OS. MATERIALS AND METHODS 10 published and 3 unpublished studies that reported survival outcomes in NSCLC patients stratified according to BIM deletion were identified from PubMed and Embase. Summary risk estimates were calculated from aggregate patient data using a random-effects model. For individual patient data, Kaplan-Meier analyses were supported by multivariate Cox regression to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for PFS and OS. CONCLUSIONS In selected populations, the BIM deletion is a significant predictor of shorter PFS and OS on EGFR-TKIs. Further studies to determine its effect on response to other BIM-dependent therapeutic agents are needed, so that alternative treatment strategies may be devised.

Abstract
Shikonin (SHK) is a natural naphthoquinone pigment isolated from Lithospermum erythrorhizon, that has been reported to suppress the growth of a number of cancer cell types. Adriamycin (AD) is typically used as an effective anticancer agent; however, it has the propensity to induce drug resistance. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of SHK alone and in combination with AD on lung adenocarcinoma cells and the underlying molecular mechanisms of their effects. Colony formation, MTT and propidium iodide staining assays demonstrated that the co-treatment of A549 cells with SHK and AD significantly decreased cell viability and potently induced apoptosis. The mitochondrial membrane potential was assessed using 5,5', 6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethyl-benzimidazolylcarbocyanine iodide staining and fluorescence microscopy. Cells co-treated with SHK and AD exhibited marked mitochondrial membrane damage. In addition, co-treatment with SHK and AD significantly reduced ATP levels in A549 cells compared with the control. Western blot analysis revealed that SHK enhanced the antitumor effects of AD by inhibiting the expression of ATP-binding cassette transporters. These results suggest that the inhibition of glycolysis could be an effective approach for lung cancer treatment. Therefore, SHK has the potential to be used as an anticancer agent in the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma, and thus warrants further investigation and development.

Abstract
Shikonin, a natural naphthoquinone isolated from a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, can exert inhibitory effect on tumor cell growth. However, little has been known concerning the effect of shikonin on lung adenocarcinoma cell and underlying mechanisms. In the present study, we investigated the effect of shikonin on the proliferation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis in human lung adenocarcinoma cells. We found that shikonin significantly suppressed the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cells compared with control in dose- and time-dependent manner (P < 0.05). In the meantime, our results showed that shikonin markedly increased the proportion of A549 cells at stage G1 as well as induced apoptosis in A549 cells. Furthermore, suppressed CCND1 and elevated caspase3 and caspase7 expression levels at mRNA were found in this study, indicating that shikonin may inhibit the growth of lung adenocarcinoma cell by changing cell cycle and promoting cell apoptosis through the regulation of CCND1, caspase3, and caspase7. Although more studies are needed, this study suggests that shikonin has the potential to be used as an anti-cancer agent in the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is associated with the pathogenesis of cancer progression. The pathological effects mediated through RAGE are physiologically inhibited by soluble RAGE (sRAGE). The aim of the present study was to identify the expression of the sRAGE, RAGE and RAGE ligands in serum samples and lung cancer tissue obtained from lung cancer patients. Using ELISA and immunohistochemistry, it was observed that the sRAGE levels were downregulated in the serum, the expression of RAGE was decreased in the lung cancer tissue and the RAGE ligands HMGB1 and S100 were upregulated in cancer tissue. Furthermore, the presence of several selected types of RAGE polymorphism that occur in lung cancers were measured in the tissue samples. An association between the -429T/C and 2184A/G polymorphisms of RAGE and the genesis and progression of lung cancer was identified. The comparison between various histological subtypes and stages of lung cancer was performed with the aim to clarify the biological role of the RAGE gene, and identify a biomarker to aid diagnosis and predict the prognosis for lung cancer patients.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients have the highest risk of developing cachexia, which is a direct cause of reduced quality of life and shorter survival. Novel biomarkers to identify patients at risk of cachexia are needed and might have a substantial impact on clinical management. Here we investigated the prognostic value and association of SELP-rs6136, IL6-rs1800796 and AKT1-rs1130233 polymorphisms with cachexia in PDAC. Genotyping was performed in DNA from blood samples of a test and validation cohorts of 151 and 152 chemo-naive locally-advanced/metastatic PDAC patients, respectively. The association of SELP-rs6136, IL6-rs1800796 and AKT1-rs1130233 polymorphisms with cachexia as well as the correlation between cachexia and the candidate polymorphisms and overall survival were analyzed. Akt expression and phosphorylation in muscle biopsies were evaluated by specific ELISA assays. SELP-rs6136-AA and AKT1-rs1130233-AA/GA genotypes were associated with increased risk of developing cachexia in both cohorts (SELP: p = 0.011 and p = 0.045; AKT1: p = 0.004 and p = 0.019 for the first and second cohorts, respectively), while patients carrying AKT1-rs1130233-GG survived significantly longer (p = 0.002 and p = 0.004 for the first and second cohorts, respectively). In the multivariate analysis AKT1-rs1130233-AA/GA genotypes were significant predictors for shorter survival, with an increased risk of death of 1.7 (p = 0.002) and 1.6 (p = 0.004), in the first and second cohorts, respectively. This might be explained by the reduced phosphorylation of Akt1 in muscle biopsies from patients harboring AKT1-rs1130233-AA/GA (p = 0.003), favoring apoptosis induction. In conclusion, SELP and AKT1 polymorphisms may play a role in the risk of cachexia and death in PDAC patients, and should be further evaluated in larger prospective studies.

Lung Cancer 2014; 85:435-41. [PMID: 25017413 DOI: 10.1016/j.lungcan.2014.06.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2014] [Revised: 06/20/2014] [Accepted: 06/21/2014] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Somatic mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are predictors of efficacy for treatment with the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor erlotinib in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A CA repeat polymorphism in intron 1 of the EGFR gene influences the transcription of the EGFR gene. This study evaluates the association between the CA repeat polymorphism and outcome in NSCLC patients treated with erlotinib. MATERIALS AND METHODS Number of CA repeats in the EGFR gene was evaluated with PCR-fragment length analysis by capillary electrophoresis in 432 advanced NSCLC patients treated with erlotinib irrespective of EGFR mutation status. Patients were dichotomized into harboring short allele (CA≤16 in any allele) or long alleles (CA>16 in both alleles). Number of repeats was correlated with clinical characteristic and outcome. A subgroup analysis was performed based on the somatic EGFR mutation status. RESULTS In EGFR mutation positive patients (N=62) we demonstrate a significantly higher median progression free survival (HR=0.39 (0.22-0.70); p=0.002) and overall survival (HR=0.43 (0.23-0.78); p=0.006) in patients also harboring a short CA repeat length vs. a long (median follow-up time of 52.2 months). The result remained highly significant in a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model. This correlation was not seen in EGFR mutation negative patients. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrate that in EGFR mutation positive NSCLC patients treated with erlotinib a low number of CA repeats in intron 1 of the EGFR gene is a predictor for both longer progression free survival and overall survival.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects more than 2 % of the world population with highest prevalence in parts of Africa and Asia. Past standard of care using interferon α and ribavirin had adverse effects and showed modest efficacy for some HCV genotypes spurring the development of direct acting antivirals (DAAs). Such DAAs target viral proteins and are thus better tolerated but they suffer from emergence of vial resistance. Furthermore, DAAs are often HCV genotype specific. Novel drug candidates targeting host factors required for HCV propagation, so called host-targeting antivirals (HTAs), promise to overcome both caveats. The genetic barrier to resistance is usually considered to be high for HTAs and all HCV genotypes presumably use the same host factors. Recent data, however, challenge these assumptions, at least for some HTAs. Here, we highlight the most important host-targeting strategies against hepatitis C and critically discuss their opportunities and risks.

Are erlotinib and gefitinib interchangeable, opposite or complementary for non-small cell lung cancer treatment? Biological, pharmacological and clinical aspects. Crit Rev Oncol Hematol 2013; 89:300-13. [PMID: 24041630 DOI: 10.1016/j.critrevonc.2013.08.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 53] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2013] [Revised: 08/02/2013] [Accepted: 08/16/2013] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Gefitinib and erlotinib are the two anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) approved for treatment of advanced NSCLC patients. These drugs target one of the most important pathways in lung carcinogenesis and are able to exploit the phenomenon of 'oncogene addiction', with different efficacy according to EGFR gene mutational status in tumor samples. Gefitinib has been approved only for EGFR mutation bearing patients regardless the line of treatment, while erlotinib is also indicated in patients without EGFR mutation who undergo second- or third-line treatment. Some studies evaluated the main differences between these drugs both for direct comparison and to improve their sequential use. In particular, toxicity profile resulted partially different, and these observations may be explained by several molecular and pharmacokinetic features. Therefore, this review integrates preclinical data with clinical evidences of TKIs to guide the optimization of currently available treatments in advanced NSCLC patients.

Abstract
Cancer diagnosis is currently undergoing a paradigm shift with the incorporation of molecular biomarkers as part of routine diagnostic panel. The molecular alteration ranges from those involving the DNA, RNA, microRNAs (miRNAs) and proteins. The miRNAs are recently discovered small non-coding endogenous single-stranded RNAs that critically regulates the development, invasion and metastasis of cancers. They are altered in cancers and have the potential to serve as diagnostic markers for cancer. Moreover, deregulating their activity offers novel cancer therapeutic approaches. The availability of high throughput techniques for the identification of altered cellular molecules allowed their use in cancer diagnosis. Their application to a variety of body specimens from blood to tissues has been helpful for appreciating their use in the clinical context. The development of innovative antibodies for immunohistochemical detection of proteins also assists in diagnosis and risk stratification. Overall, the novel cancer diagnostic tools have extended their application as prognostic risk factors and can be used as targets for personalized medicine.

Abstract
表皮生长因子受体酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, EGFR-TKIs)在晚期非小细胞肺癌患者(non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC)中的应用越来越广泛,但患者的疗效存在明显差异。目前主要是根据EGFR基因突变来选择患者,然而,其检测常受到肿瘤组织来源困难、技术复杂、费用高等因素限制。因此,临床亟待寻求其他生物学标记物来预测EGFR-TKIs疗效。近来有诸多研究发现EGFR基因多态性与晚期NSCLC患者EGFR-TKIs疗效及预后也存在相关性,现将其研究进展作一综述。
