1.Mechanism of exosomal miRNA involved in tumor chemotherapy resistance
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2025;29(7):1504-1511
BACKGROUND:As a common method of cancer treatment,chemotherapy has a certain therapeutic effect in the early stage.However,as the frequency of chemotherapy increases,the resistance of tumor cells to drugs gradually increases,that is,chemotherapy resistance.At present,the main mechanisms of chemotherapy resistance include the failure of chemotherapy drugs to reach the tumor site,the loss of drug activity leading to a decrease in drug efficacy,and tumor cells evading drug attack by reshaping their metabolic functions,gene phenotypes,and microenvironment.However,the specific mechanism remains to be discussed in depth. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the mechanisms by which exosomal miRNA is involved in drug resistance in different tumors,and to propose potential targets. METHODS:The PubMed database was searched using the English search terms"hematological malignancies,liver cancer,lung cancer,breast cancer,melanoma,colorectal cancer,drug resistance,exosomal miRNAs."The search time range was from January 2013 to August 2023.Preliminary screening was carried out by reading the titles and abstracts,and the exclusion criteria were for literature with poor relevance to the research content or repetitive content.Finally,60 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Exosomal miRNA enters the intercellular matrix and circulation,and participates in the formation and development of different tumor biological processes,including tumor microenvironment remodeling,angiogenesis,and drug resistance,by exerting local paracrine or distal effects.(2)Exosomal miRNA can penetrate the cell membrane into the cytoplasm of another cell,activate or inhibit the signaling pathway in the recipient cell by delivering miRNA,and maintain cell survival,proliferation,and metastasis during chemotherapy,thus leading to drug resistance.(3)Many exosomal miRNAs related to chemotherapy resistance have been identified and studied as common tumor treatment targets.(4)Although exosomal miRNA holds great promise as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets,there are still some research deficiencies that need to be addressed:Firstly,there is a lack of standardized protocols for exosome isolation and characterization,resulting in differences in the methods used in different studies;secondly,although the presence and abundance of miRNAs in exosomes have been widely studied,their functional roles and mechanisms are not completely clear.Elucidating the specific targets and pathways regulated by exosomal can provide valuable insights into their biological significance and potential therapeutic applications.Addressing these research gaps will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of exosomal miRNAs and their potential applications in various fields,including diagnosis,therapy,and personalized medicine.

Objective:The transjugular or transfemoral approach is used as a common method for hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) measurement in current practice. This study aims to confirm the safety and effectiveness of measuring HVPG via the forearm venous approach.Methods:Prospective recruitment was conducted for patients with cirrhosis who underwent HVPG measurement via the forearm venous approach at six hospitals in China and Japan from September 2020 to December 2020. Patients' clinical baseline information and HVPG measurement data were collected. The right median cubital vein or basilic vein approach for all enrolled patients was selected. The HVPG standard process was used to measure pressure. Research data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 statistical software. Quantitative data were used to represent medians (interquartile ranges), while qualitative data were used to represent frequency and rates. The correlation between two sets of data was analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis.Results:A total of 43 cases were enrolled in this study. Of these, 41 (95.3%) successfully underwent HVPG measurement via the forearm venous approach. None of the patients had any serious complications. The median operation time for HVPG detection via forearm vein was 18.0 minutes (12.3~38.8 minutes). This study confirmed that HVPG was positively closely related to Child-Pugh score ( r = 0.47, P = 0.002), albumin-bilirubin score ( r = 0.37, P = 0.001), Lok index ( r = 0.36, P = 0.02), liver stiffness ( r = 0.58, P = 0.01), and spleen stiffness ( r = 0.77, P = 0.01), while negatively correlated with albumin ( r = -0.42, P = 0.006). Conclusion:The results of this multi-centre retrospective study suggest that HVPG measurement via the forearm venous approach is safe and feasible.

Sjögren's syndrome (SS), a disorder of immune system, is one of the dominant diseases treated by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). China Association of Chinese Medicine organized experts in the field of TCM and western medicine rheumatology and pharmacology to discuss the advantages and optimal regimens of TCM for the treatment of SS. The experts generally agreed on the low early diagnosis rate of SS and the lack of targeted therapeutic drugs. In addition, autoimmune abnormality is the key factor in the occurrence of SS and deficiency of both Qi and Yin is the core pathogenesis. SS has unique tongue manifestations, which is expected to allow for the early diagnosis and treatment with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine. TCM has advantages in treating SS in terms of alleviating clinical symptoms and systemic involvement, individualized treatment, relieving sleep and mood disorders, preventing the occurrence in the early stage, and enhancing the effectiveness and reducing toxicity in the treatment by integrated TCM and western medicine. In general, TCM has advantages in different stages of SS. Internal and external use of TCM, acupuncture, and acupotome are all available options. The optimal regimens should be determined on the basis of pattern identification, stage of disease, and the advantages of TCM. Clinical characteristics and biomarkers of SS should be studied to classify patients, so as to design precision evidence-based TCM regimens for SS. On the basis of unique tongue manifestations of SS, models for early diagnosis and poor prognosis identification of SS should also be established to achieve early prevention and treatment and to improve the prognosis. In the future, we should vigorously carry out high-quality evidence-based medical research on the treatment of SS by TCM and integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine and develop relevant guidelines to optimize and standardize current diagnosis and treatment, thereby laying a basis for clarifying and explaining the advantages of TCM in treating SS.
