To develop a method for determining the antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP) activity of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted antibody drug conjugate (ADC) based on the reporter gene assay, we established an ADCP activity assay with Jurkat/NFAT/FcγRIIa cells as the effector cells and BT474 as the target cells. Then, the target cell density, the ratio of effector to target cells, the target cell adhesion time, the incubation time for drug administration, and the induction time after adding effector cells were optimized by the method of design of experiment (DOE). The method showed a significant dose-response relationship, which was complied with the four-parameter equation: y=(A-D)/[1+(x/C)B]+D. The durability ranges of the target cell density, the ratio of effector to target cells, the target cell adhesion time, the incubation time for drug administration, and the induction time after adding effector cells were (2.5-4.0)×105 cells/mL, 3-5, 1.0-2.0 h, 0 h, and 5.0-6.0 h, respectively. The results of the methodological validation showed that the linear equation was y=1.106 8x-0.011 6, r=0.969 2. The established method showed the relative accuracy ranging from -6.59% to 2.98% and the geometric coefficient of variation less than 11% in the intermediate precision test. Furthermore, the method was target-specific. The method was then applied to the determination of ADCP activity of HER2-targeted ADC, demonstrating the result of (103.5±5.7)%. We developed a reporter gene assay for determining the ADCP activity of HER2-targeted ADC and the assay demonstrated high accuracy and good reproducibility, which proposes a highly efficient and approache for evaluating ADCP effect of this HER2-targeted ADC, and also provides a referable technique for characterizing the Fc effector functions of ADCs with diverse targets.

The incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC) in China have been on a steady rise. Current therapeutic approaches can curb the progression of CRC to a certain extent, but issues such as toxic side effects, high metastasis rate, and high recurrence rate cannot be ignored. In recent years, alkaloid components derived from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have demonstrated tremendous potential in the prevention and treatment of CRC due to their diverse structures, complex mechanisms, and broad biological activities. Representative alkaloids such as matrine, berberine and evodiamine exert anti-CRC effects through multiple pathways: regulating signaling pathways including Wnt/β-catenin, nuclear factor-κB, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin; inhibiting the proliferation, migration, and invasion of CRC cells; inducing cell apoptosis and autophagy; arresting the cell cycle progression; regulating the gut microbiota; suppressing cellular glycolysis; and inducing ferroptosis.

Objective:To evaluate the predictive value of stress+ rest gated myocardial perfusion imaging (G-MPI) in assessing all-cause mortality risk in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH).Methods:From June 2010 to March 2022, 72 patients (39 males, 33 females; age (21.1±12.3) years) who diagnosed with FH clinically and genetically and underwent stress+ rest G-MPI in Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University were retrospectively followed up. Image analysis was performed using the 17-segment 5-point method to obtain left ventricular myocardial perfusion and functional parameters. Patients were followed for all-cause mortality events, and predictors associated with the risk of all-cause mortality were analyzed using Cox regression. The efficiencies of predictors were evaluated by ROC curve analysis, and the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to compare the differences in the incidence of all-cause mortality in different groups of patients with FH. Independent-sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze the data. Results:The follow-up time of 72 patients was 7(4, 10) years, and all-cause death occurred in 16(22.2%) patients during the follow-up period. There were statistically significant differences in total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC), summed stress score (SSS), summed rest score (SRS), summed difference score (SDS), stress end-systolic volume (SESV), stress ejection fraction (SEF), rest end-diastolic volume (REDV), rest end-systolic volume (RESV) and rest ejection fraction (REF) between the death group and the survival group ( t values: from -2.65 to 4.47, z values: from -3.43 to -1.98, all P<0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that SDS (hazard ratio ( HR)=1.337, 95% CI: 1.114-1.604, P=0.002), SESV ( HR=1.019, 95% CI: 1.008-1.030, P<0.001) and LDLC ( HR=1.355, 95% CI: 1.049-1.749, P=0.020) were independent predictors associated with the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with FH. The optimal cut-off value of SESV for predicting mortality in patients with FH determined by ROC curve analysis was 35.5 ml, with the AUC of 0.701 (95% CI: 0.517-0.885). The incidence of all-cause mortality in the group with SESV≥35.5 ml was significantly higher than that in the group with SESV<35.5 ml (28.6% vs 6.9%; χ2=5.15, P=0.023). Conclusion:Stress+ rest G-MPI is an important imaging method for all-cause mortality risk assessment in patients with FH, and SDS, SESV and LDLC are important factors in predicting mortality in patients with FH.

Objective:To compare the feasibility and efficacy of translocator protein (TSPO) molecular probes N, N-diethyl-2-(2-(4- 18F-fluorophenyl)-5, 7-dimethylpyrazolo[1, 5-a]pyrimidin-3-yl)acetamide ( 18F-FDPA) and 18F-(R)-( N-sec-butyl)-3-fluoromethyl- N-methyl-4-phenylquinoline-2-carboxamide (LW223) for the detection of abdominal vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques (VAP) in rabbit models. Methods:Nine healthy New Zealand white rabbits were divided into group A (control group, n=3), group B (VAP group, n=3) and group C (VAP treatment group, n=3) using completely randomized design. Animals were injected with 18F-FDPA and 18F-LW223 at the end of 12, 16 and 24 weeks. PET/CT and CT angiography (CTA) was performed 40-50 min post injection. All rabbits were sacrificed at the end of 24 weeks after imaging studies. All abdominal aortas were collected for pathological and immunofluorescence examination. Repeated measures analysis of variance (Bonferroni test) and paired t-test were used to analyze the data. Results:Target-to-background ratio (TBR; abdominal aortic lesion/left ventricular blood pool) values of 18F-FDPA in 3 groups at the end of 12, 16 and 24 weeks were significantly different ( F values: 68.09-144.88, all P<0.001). At the end of 12 weeks, there was no increased uptake of 18F-FDPA in the abdominal aorta region in 3 groups. The local 18F-FDPA uptake of the abdominal aorta in group B was significantly higher than the uptake in group C and that in group A at the end of 16 and 24 weeks( P<0.05 or P<0.001), and there were significant differences between group C and group A, with higher uptake in group C (both P<0.01). In 3 groups, there was no significant 18F-LW223 uptake in the abdominal aorta region at 3 time points of PET/CTA imaging. At the end of 12, 16 and 24 weeks, TBR values of 18F-FDPA and 18F-LW223 in 3 groups exhibited statistical differences ( t values: 2.88-36.79, all P<0.05). HE, immunofluorescent CD68 and TSPO staining showed more macrophage infiltration in group B than group C. Conclusion:18F-FDPA can be used to detect VAP in rabbits′ abdominal arteries at early time compared to 18F-LW223, and to evaluate the changes in the stability of vulnerable plaque after lipid-lowering drug intervention.

Objective To explore the correction of beam trajectories in the presence of fringe fields in magnetic resonance imaging-guided proton therapy and dose changes in the body before and after correction.Methods The open-source treatment planning software matRad was used to design plans for brain tumor,liver tumor,and prostate cancer cases,and simulation studies were conducted in the Monte Carlo simulation toolkit TOPAS to calculate proton dose distribution.A proton beam trajectory correction model suitable for three-dimensional magnetic fields was established,and a beam trajectory correction algorithm was developed.The deflection of the proton Bragg peak in the presence of fringe fields was analyzed.Furthermore,3 treatment plans were simulated and dose correction was carried out when the fringe field existed.Gamma analysis method is used to evaluate the correction effect;and the dose changes in the target area and organs-at-risk after correction were quantitatively analyzed.Results The perturbation of the magnetic field would cause lateral deflection of the proton beam trajectory,and the presence of fringe fields would significantly increase this effect,which increased with the increasing of beam energy.When the fringe field existed,the treatment plans for brain tumor,liver tumor,and prostate cancer were corrected.Under the 3%/3 mm criterion,the gamma passing rates for target area were 94.844%,92.054%,and 97.863%,respectively,and after correction,the total dose in the body was increased by 2.8%,2.5%,and 1.5%,respectively.The increased dose was mainly contributed by incident protons.Conclusion In magnetic resonance imaging-guided proton therapy,the effects of fringe fields should be considered.The increase in incident proton beam energy after correction will lead to an increase in the total dose in the body.Since the beam trajectory still has curvature,the dose changes differently in different organs-at-risk.
