Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel drugs consisting of monoclonal antibodies targeting tumor-specific or tumor-associated antigens coupled with different numbers of payloads via linkers. ADCs have shown promising clinical benefits in the treatment of a variety of malignancies. Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a hypo-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor with an extremely high degree of malignancy. Although SCLC is sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, it has a poor prognosis due to characteristics such as early susceptibility to metastasis and recurrence. Progress in the treatment of SCLC is very limited, and more durable and effective therapies should be developed to improve prognosis. However, the progress of SCLC-related therapeutic agents has been limited by the lack of specific molecular targets. This article reviews the basic principles and mechanisms of ADCs, highlights the research progress of relevant drugs against some targets in SCLC, and summarizes new targets that may be developed as targeted drugs.

Although targeted, immune and other therapeutic strategies have become the first-line standard therapy for patients with advanced lung cancer, acquired drug resistance is still inevitable in most cases. The advent of antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) provides a new choice. ADC is a new anticancer drug formed by the coupling of targeted anti-tumor monoclonal antibodies and cytotoxic drugs. Compared with chemotherapeutic drugs, ADC has the advantages of high tolerance, accurate target recognition and little effect on non-cancer cells, and has shown good clinical benefits in the treatment of a variety of malignant tumors. This article reviews the application of ADC in advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Patients with gastric cancer often have different degrees of dyslipidemia, and the level of lipid changes is closely related to the occurrence, development and prognosis of gastric cancer. The mechanism of lipid metabolism in gastric cancer has also attracted much attention, and it may be related to the reverse cholesterol transport function, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. In addition, statins may reduce the risk of gastric cancer and associated mortality. Further research on the correlation between blood lipid levels and gastric cancer is aimed to provide new ideas for the future prevention and precision diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer.

[摘 要] 目的:探究小核核糖核蛋白多肽A(SNRPA)在肝细胞癌(HCC)组织和细胞中的表达及其调控HCC细胞HepG2和Hep3B恶性生物学行为的作用及其机制。方法: 数据库分析SNRPA在泛癌组织中的表达及其与病理分期、HCC患者预后的相关性。常规培养HepG2和Hep3B细胞,将si-NC,si-SNRPA#1、si-SNRPA#2转染HepG2和Hep3B细胞,实验分为si-NC组、si-SNRPA#1组和si-SNRPA#2组;将SNRPA-vector和SNRPA-oe载体转染LO2细胞,分为SNRPA-vector组和SNRPA-oe组。qPCR法检测正常肝细胞和肝癌细胞以及转染各组HepG2和Hep3B细胞中SNRPA mRNA的表达,MTT法、Transwell法和WB法分别检测转染后各组HepG2和Hep3B细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭能力以及EMT相关蛋白表达的变化。结果: 数据库分析显示,SNRPA mRNA在多数肿瘤组织中均呈高表达(均P<0.001)且与病理分期有关联(P<0.05或P<0.01)。SNRPA在HCC组织和细胞中均呈高表达(P<0.05或P<0.01),且与HCC患者的预后有关联(P<0.01)。敲减SNRPA表达明显抑制HepG2和Hep3B细胞增殖(P<0.05或P<0.01)而过表达SNRPA则能促进LO2细胞增殖(P<0.01),敲减SNRPA表达明显抑制HepG2和Hep3B细胞的迁移和侵袭能力(均P<0.01),明显促进E-cadherin的表达上调(P<0.01),而抑制N-cadherin、vimentin的表达(P<0.01)。结论: SNRPA在HCC组织及细胞中呈明显高表达,其可能通过调控上皮间质转化(EMT)进程进而促进HepG2和Hep3B细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭。

[Abstract] Objective: To explore the regulatory effect of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) SNHG5 on invasion and migration of
hypoxia-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Methods: A total of 20 pairs of cancer and para-cancerous tissue specimens
resected from HCC patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2017 to June 2018, and human
HCC cell lines (HepG2, MHCC-97L, MHCC-97H , Huh7) as well as immortalized human liver LO2 cells were collected for this study.
Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze the binding sites between hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and SNHG5. pCMVHIF-1α and shRNA-SNHG5 (sh-SNHG5) plasmids were transfected into HCC cells, respectively. qPCR was used to detect the expres‐
sion level of SNHG5 in HCC tissues and hypoxia-induced HCC cells. Western botting was used to detect the expression level of HIF-1α
protein in HCC cells, and Transwell chamber method was used to detect the migration and invasion ability of HCC cells after SNHG5 si‐
lence under normoxia and hypoxia condition. Results: Compared with para-cancerous tissues and immortalized human liver LO2 cells,
the expression of SNHG5 was significantly up-regulated in HCC tissues and cell lines (all P<0.01). Hypoxia promoted the expression
level of SNHG5 in HCC cells, and its mechanism might be related to the combination of hypoxia-activated HIF-1α and SNHG5
promoter to promote its transcription. Hypoxia promoted the invasion and migration ability of HepG2 and MHCC-97L cells (all P<
0.01), but knockdown of SNHG5 significantly inhibited the invasion and migration ability of HepG2 and MHCC-97L cells under hy‐
poxic conditions (all P<0.01). Conclusion: SNHG5 is highly expressed in HCC tissues and cell lines and plays an important role in the
invasion and migration of HCC cells induced by hypoxia.

【Objective】 To study the role and mechanism of sinomenine in the macrophage polarization induced by gastric cancer cells. 【Methods】 Sinomenine was added to gastric cancer cells BGC-823 and MKN-45, cell viability was measured by CCK-8, cell proliferation was measured by colony formation experiment, Co-culture and Transwell cell migration experiments were used to evaluate the recruitment and polarization of macrophages by sinomenine, flow cytometry was used to evaluate the polarization of macrophages, and qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of gene RNA and protein levels. 【Results】 Sinomenine could inhibit the proliferation of gastric cancer cells and the recruitment of gastric cancer cells to macrophages, thus promoting macrophage M2 polarization. It simultaneously inhibited the expression of STAT6 as well as the expression and phosphorylation of C/EBPβ. When STAT6 is overexpressed, it could reduce these inhibitory effects of sinomenine on gastric cancer cells. Further research found that STAT6 mediated the secretion of IL-6 by gastric cancer cells, which was the cause of sinomenine-mediated macrophage recruitment and M2 polarization. 【Conclusion】 The natural drug sinomenine has a good tumor-suppressing ability against gastric cancer, directly inhibits the survival and migration of gastric cancer cells, and inhibits the expression of IL-6 and the M2 phenotype in the tumor microenvironment, reshapes the tumor environment, and reduces the risk of M2 type macrophages for gastric cancer tumors.

【Objective】 To explore the causal association between the onset of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and migraine and to provide genetic evidence, a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) method was used in this study. 【Methods】 Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) information for both samples was obtained from publicly available genome-wide association study (GWAS) databases, in which the appropriate SNPs were selected as instrumental variables, and then bidirectional MR analysis used five MR analysis methods including inverse variance weighting (IVW), MR-Egger regression, weighted median, weighted mode and simple mode methods, followed by sensitivity analysis. 【Results】 IVW showed positive results of forward MR analysis with GERD as exposure [OR=1.398 7, 95%CI (1.181 7-1.655 6), P=9.59×10-5] , while no positive significance of reverse MR analysis results with migraine as exposure (P>0.05). The same results were obtained in methods other than MR-Egger method. Meanwhile, none of the instrumental variables were found to be horizontally polytomous (P=0.92, P=0.64), and the results were robust after the leave-one-out method to exclude single SNPs. 【Conclusion】 There may be a unidirectional causal association between GERD and migraine, and GERD is a risk factor for migraine development.
