Background and purpose:EGFR-TKI (EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors), represented by geiftinib and erlotinib, have exhibited signiifcant antiproliferative effects against non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with low toxicity.EGFR gene mutation was discovered to be a predictive biomarker for EGFR-TKI treatment. Although the efifcacy of EGFR-TKI is limited toEGFR wild-type patients, it is still noticeable suggesting that some other mechanisms are responsible for it. The current study is aimed at evaluating the expression of phosphorylated EGFR in advanced NSCLC, investigating its relationship withEGFR mutations and EGFR-TKI efifcacy.Methods:EGFR gene mutations were detected by denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) in 205 stageⅢB-ⅣNSCLC patients. The expressions of phosphorylated tyrosine 1068 (pTyr1068) and 1173 (pTyr1173) were detected by immunohistochemistry.Results:The positive expressions of pTyr1068 and pTyr1173 were 80.0% (164/205) and 57.6% (95/165) respectively. None of them were related to clinical pathological characteristics (age, gender, pathological type, smoking status, disease stage).EGFR gene mutation rate was 44.9% (92/205), which was only related to smoking status (P=0.024) compared to other clinical pathological characteristics.EGFR gene mutations were poorly related to pTyr1068 expression (P<0.001) and not related to pTyr1173 expression (P=0.297). The objective response rate (ORR),disease control rate (DCR), and progressive free survival (PFS) of EGFR-TKI treatment in patients withEGFR mutations were 48.3% (43/89), 80.9% (72/89) and 8 months (95%CI: 6.11-11.42) respectively, which were signiifcantly higher than that ofEGFR wild-type patients [ORR=16.2% (17/105,P<0.001); DCR=56.2%(59/105,P<0.001); Median PFS: 2.1 months, (95%CI: 0.89-3.24;P=0.001)]. Superior ORR: DCR and PFS appeared in patients with pTyr1068 positive expression compared to negative [ORR: 37.7% (58/154)vs 5.0% (2/40,P<0.001); DCR: 74.7% (115/154)vs 40.0% (16/40,P<0.001); Median PFS: 7.0 monthsvs 1.2 months,P<0.001)]. Inversely, the patients with pTyr1173 positive expression had lower ORR, DCR and shorter PFS [ORR: 27.8% (25/90)vs 37.9%(25/66,P=0.123); DCR: 64.4% (58/90)vs 83.3% (55/66,P=0.007); Median PFS: 4.8 monthsvs 7.7 months (P=0.016)]. In subgroup ofEGFR wild-type patients, positive expression of pTyr1068 was 69.0% (69/100).EGFR wild-type patients with pTyr1068 positive expression had a prolonged PFS and elevated ORR and DCR compared to negative [median PFS: 3.6 monthsvs 1.2 months (P<0.001); ORR: 23.2%vs 3.2% (P=0.010); DCR: 69.6%vs 35.5% (P=0.001)]. Sixteen patients with pTyr1068 positive expression who responded to EGFR-TKI treatment in this subgroup had a remarkable PFS [median PFS: 15.6 months (95%CI:7.28-23.9)]. Multiple factor analysis showed that the expression of pTyr1068 was an independence predictor factor for EGFR-TKI treatment (OR=0.24, 95%CI: 0.16~0.37,P<0.001). Conclusion:Phosphorylation at Tyr1068 of EGFR might be a potential predictive factor for clinical response and survival of EGFR-TKI treatment in patients with advanced NSCLC, especially inEGFR wild-type patients.

Using the latency of paw withdrawal (PWL) from a noxious thermal stimulus as a measure of hyperalgesia, the effects of i.p. injection of meptazinol and its isomers, 112824 and 112825, on carrageenan-induced thermal hyperalgesia were studied in awaked carrageenan-inflamed rats. Peripheral inflammation was induced by intraplantar (i.pl.) injection of carrageenan (2 mg/100 microl) into one hindpaw in rats. Carrageenan produced marked inflammation (edema and erythema) and thermal hyperalgesia in the injected paws, which peaked at 3 h after injection and showed little change in magnitude for another 3 h. Injection of 0.1 mg/kg meptazinol (i.p.) at 3 h after carrageenan had no effect on the PWLs of either inflamed or non-inflamed hindpaw during the next 100 min (P>0.05, n=8). At the dosage of 1 and 10 mg/kg, meptazinol produced marked anti-nociception and anti-hyperalgesia in non-inflamed and inflamed hindpaw, respectively (P<0.05, n=8-11). The prolonging effect of meptazinol on PWL in inflamed hindpaw was more potent than that in non-inflamed hindpaw. Pre-administration of 1.5 mg/kg naloxone significantly antagonized meptazinol-induced anti-nociception and anti-hyperalgesia. Intraperitoneal injection of an isomer of meptazinol, 112825 (1.5 mg/kg), but not 112824 (1 mg/kg), markedly increased the PWL of the non-inflamed hindpaw. Nevertheless, both the isomers produced similar anti-hyperalgesic effect to that of meptazinol (P<0.05, n=8), which was completely reversed by naloxone (1.5 mg/mg). The results suggest that meptazinol and its isomers have anti-nociceptive and anti-hyperalgesic properties with the former more potent. The effects are mainly mediated by mu opioid receptors. This study provides an important clue for extending clinical utilization of meptazinol and its isomers.

We constructed different N-terminal truncated variants based on Bacillus acidopullulyticus pullulanase 3D structure (PDB code 2WAN), and studied the effects of truncated mutation on soluble expression, enzymatic properties, and application in saccharification. Upon expression, the variants of X45 domain deletion existed as inclusion bodies, whereas deletion of CBM41 domain had an effective effect on soluble expression level. The variants that lack of CBM41 (M1), lack of X25 (M3), and lack both of CBM41 and X25 (M5) had the same optimal pH (5.0) and optimal temperature (60 degrees C) with the wild-type pullulanase (WT). The K(m) of M1 and M5 were 1.42 mg/mL and 1.85 mg/mL, respectively, 2.4- and 3.1-fold higher than that of the WT. k(cat)/K(m) value of M5 was 40% lower than that of the WT. Substrate specificity results show that the enzymes exhibited greater activity with the low-molecular-weight dextrin than with high-molecular-weight soluble starch. When pullulanases were added to the saccharification reaction system, the dextrose equivalent of the WT, M1, M3, and M5 were 93.6%, 94.7%, 94.5%, and93.1%, respectively. These results indicate that the deletion of CBM41 domain and/or X25 domain did not affect the practical application in starch saccharification process. Furthermore, low-molecular-weight variants facilitate the heterologous expression. Truncated variants may be more suitable for industrial production than the WT.
