1.Relationship between tumor tolerance to TRAIL and its receptors
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(7):483-485
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) preferentially induces apoptosis in tumor cells but not in normal cells. It induces apoptosis in its target cells by interacting with surface death receptors DR4 and DR5,which contain a cytoplasmic region designated as thedeath domain. Clinical use of rhTRAIL and its agonistic antibodies is limited due to partial or completetolerance to TRAIL in human tumor cell lines. As TRAIL binding to its death receptors is the initial and crucial step in initiating apoptosis, the mechanisms of TRAIL-tolerance in tumor cells is closely related to the expression,location,distribution and function of TRAIL receptors . Personalized care combined with other therapies targeting TRAIL receptors may be expected to overcome the TRAIL-tolerance of tumor cells eventually.

Objective To evaluate the heating ability of thermoseeds in alternating magnetic field and its therapeutic effects on tumor bearing rats with simultaneously detected immune function. Methods To monitor the temperature increase of thermoseeds in vitro,of which the Curie point was 57 ℃ or 70 ℃.Forty Wistar rats implanted with Walker-256 cells were randomly divided into five groups: C group(control group,10 rats),M group(magnetic control group,5 rats),T group(thermoseeds control group,5 rats) and two heating treatment groups(H1 group,10 rats and H2 group,10 rats).In the H1 group,two thermoseeds with a Curie point at 57 ℃ were implanted into the tumor tissues in each rat with a heating time of 30 minutes,while in the H2 group,two thermoseeds with a Curie point at 70 ℃ were used with a heating time of 6 minutes.Five rats from each group were killed 9 days after the heating therapy to evaluate the volume and weight of the tumor tissues.The peripheral blood T-cells were counted in the rest rats in the H1,H2,and C groups. Results Magnetic inductive heating of the thermoseeds in vitro can reach the Curie point.The median tumor volume in the H2 group was 0.50 cm3(0.00-26.54),which was significantly lower than that in the M group(36.18 cm3,0.96-39.90,Z=2.21,P=0.032).And the weight of the tumors in the H1 and H2 groups was significantly lower than that in the M group [0.96 g(0.00-21.18) in H1 and 0.41 g(0.00-23.40) in H2 vs 31.45 g(1.09-36.09) in M group,Z=2.21 and P=0.032 for both].In the peripheral blood,the percentage of CD4+ T-cells was(22.39?5.27)% in H1 group,and(24.76?5.19)% in H2 group,which were significantly higher than that in C group [(12.07?4.45)%,P=0.01 and 0.003 respectively];and the percentage of CD8+ T-cells in the H2 group was significantly higher than that in the C group [(19.58?4.63)% vs(12.72?3.96)%,P=0.04].Conclusions Thermoseed had a good heating ability in alternating magnetic field and its inductive heating can inhibit tumor growth in Wistar rats and improve the immune function of the rats.

Pancreatic cancer with liver metastases (PCLM) is a refractory malignant tumor characterized by insidious onset, rap-id progress, and poor prognosis. Only a few patients had the opportunity of receiving surgical treatment. PCLM is primarily treated by systemic chemotherapy. The chemotherapeutic regimen of 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and leucovorin has become the first-line therapy for PCLM patients with good performance status. Gemcitabine-based chemotherapy is still very important in treating PCLM. Nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine, which has been found to increase survival, is recommended as a new standard for treating PCLM patients. However, still no breakthrough has been established in the study of gemcitabine plus molecular-targeted therapy. Sys-temic chemotherapy combined with trans-catheter arterial chemoembolization is valuable and may be effectual in prolonging survival. Further investigation of prospective and randomized controlled clinical trials is necessary. Radio frequency ablation and brachy-thera-peutic embolization with yttrium-90 microspheres are still in the exploratory stage. Multimodality treatment of PCLM using chemother-apy, radiation therapy, and Chinese herbal medicine is gaining wide acceptance. This article reviews the recent progress in the treatment of PCLM.
