Cancer immunotherapy, which harnesses the patient's own immune system to target malignant cells, has shown remarkable promise in reducing tumor burden and extending survival. However, the complex tumor microenvironment (TME) limits therapeutic benefits to a subset of patients, making it challenging to develop accurate in vitro models for drug response prediction, drug discovery, and personalized medicine. Organoids, three-dimensional (3D) "mini-organs" derived from individual patients that faithfully recapitulate the structural, molecular, and gene expression profiles of primary tumors along with their complex TME in vitro, have emerged as powerful tools for patient-specific drug screening and therapeutic strategy development. Their versatility has led to widespread adoption across both clinical and basic cancer research. However, a key limitation of traditional organoid models is their lack of immune system components. Recent years have seen significant efforts to address this challenge through the integration of immune cells with organoids, aiming to create more physiologically relevant models. This review describes 3D culture methods for immunocompetent organoids, explores organoid-immune cell interactions, and discusses their applications in cancer immunotherapy and drug screening, along with recent advances in related clinical studies.

Objective To investigate the expression of small nuclear ribonucleoprotein D1 (SNRPD1) in the gastric cancer tissue and evaluate the predictive value of SNRPD1 expression level for the long-term prognosis of gastric cancer patients and the possible functioning mechanism of SNRPD1. Methods The UALCAN and Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) were employed to analyze the expression level of SNRPD1 in pan-cancer and its relationship with the prognosis of gastric cancer.The clinical data of 109 patients who underwent radical surgery for gastric cancer from January 2014 to January 2017 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.Gastric cancer and paracancerous tissue samples were collected,and the expression of SNRPD1 was detected by immunohistochemical staining.Lentiviral transfection was employed to construct the BGC-823 gastric cancer cell models with stable high and low expression of SNRPD1,respectively.The CCK-8 assay and colony formation assay were employed to measure the proliferation of gastric cancer cells,and flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell cycle.Western blotting was employed to determine the expression levels of proteins in the signaling pathway. Results The data from UALCAN and GEPIA showed that SNRPD1 was highly expressed in the tissue of malignant tumors including gastric cancer (P<0.001).The expression level of SNRPD1 in the gastric cancer tissue was higher than that in the paracancerous tissue (P<0.001).Moreover,the expression level of SNRPD1 was positively correlated with the levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (P<0.001),carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (P<0.001),G stage (P=0.042),T stage (P=0.002),and N stage (P=0.027) in the patients with gastric cancer.The high expression of SNRPD1 had a predictive value for the long-term prognosis of gastric cancer (P<0.001),and it was an independent risk factor for the death of gastric cancer patients (P=0.003).The results of gene ontology and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and Genomes enrichment analyses showed that SNRPD1 was involved in the regulation of the cell cycle.The results of CCK-8 and colony formation assays showed that up-regulation of SNRPD1 promoted the proliferation of gastric cancer cells (P<0.001,P<0.001).The up-regulation of SNRPD1 up-regulated the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 6 and G₁/S-specific cyclin-D1 (P<0.001,P=0.002),whereas the interference in SNRPD1 led to opposite results (P=0.004,P<0.001).SNRPD1 accelerated the G₁/S phase transition of gastric cancer cells (P<0.001).The overexpression of SNRPD1 promoted the expression of phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and phosphorylated protein kinase B (Akt) in gastric cancer cells (P=0.043,P<0.001),whereas disruption of SNRPD1 inhibited their expression (both P<0.001).Insulin-like growth factor 1,an agonist of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway,promoted the proliferation of gastric cancer cells with SNRPD1 disturbed (P=0.002). Conclusion High expression of SNRPD1 in the gastric cancer tissues is associated with poor prognosis,and it may promote tumor cell proliferation and regulate the cell cycle by activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of afzelin(AFZ)in treating Crohn's disease-like colitis.Methods A mouse model of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced colitis was established to assess the effect of AFZ on experimental colitis in vivo.A Caco-2 cell model of tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α-induced inflammation was established to evaluate the effects of AFZ on the intestinal barrier function,intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis,and mitochondrial function in vitro.The animal and cell experiments were performed to validate the regulatory role of the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK)/silent information regulater 1(SIRT1)/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator(PGC)-1α pathway in the treatment of colitis with AFZ.Results AFZ reduced the disease activity index(P=0.003),weight loss(P<0.001),colon shortening(P<0.001),inflammation score(P=0.002),pro-inflammatory cytokine release(interleukin-6:P<0.001;TNF-α:P=0.010),and intestinal barrier permeability(fluorescein isothiocyanate dextran 4:P<0.001;intestinal-type fatty acid-binding protein:P=0.013).Meanwhile,AFZ increased the colonic transepithelial electric resistance(P=0.001),reduced bacterial translocation(P<0.001),and promoted the localization and up-regulated the expression of tight junction proteins [zonula occluden-1(P=0.005) and Claudin-1(P=0.024)].AFZ exerted a protective effect on the Caco-2 cells exposed to TNF-α in terms of intestinal epithelial cell permeability(P=0.017),transepithelial electric resistance(P=0.014),and tight junction protein[zonula occluden-1(P=0.014) and Claudin-1(P=0.006)] localization and expression.Furthermore,the cell and animal experiments confirmed that AFZ reduced the percentage of apoptosis(P<0.001,P=0.013)and the expression of cleaved-caspase 3(P=0.028,P=0.004)and Bax(P=0.004,P=0.020),and upregulated the Bcl2(P=0.020,P=0.006)level in intestinal epithelial cells.Additionally,AFZ increased the number of mitochondria,mitochondrial membrane potential,and copy number of mitochondrial DNA(P=0.007)in intestinal epithelial cells,while enhancing the activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex Ⅰ(P=0.005)and complex Ⅳ(P=0.001).The activation of the AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α pathway was involved in the protective effects of AFZ on mitochondrial function and apoptosis in intestinal epithelial cells.Conclusion AFZ alleviates mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis in intestinal epithelial cells by activating the AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α pathway,thereby ameliorating intestinal barrier dysfunction and experimental colitis.

A method for determination and targeted screening of diflorasone components in health products using ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF/MS)was established.Four representative diflorasone and esters(diflorasone,diflorasone diacetate,diflorasone-17-propionate,and diflorasone-21-propionate)were selected to optimize the pretreatment conditions,and 10 mL of extraction solvent dosage,15 min of extraction time and 5 g of salting-out agent as the optimal conditions were selected by response surface methodology.The results showed that the four analytes exhibited good linearity within the concentration range of 2.0?100 μg/L with the chromatographic peak area,and the correlation coefficients(R2)were all greater than 0.9990,while the results of recovery and relative standard deviation could satisfy the requirements of determination.The common characteristic ions of diflorasone and esters werem/z121 andm/z335,and their specific structures were obtained by analyzing the cleavage pathway based on the optimized determination conditions.A targeted screening method for other esters of diflorasone based on characteristic ions guidance strategy was established.This method had many advantages such as high efficiency,high sensitivity and good reproducibility,and could be used for targeted screening of diflorasone and esters in health products.The developed characteristic ion guided strategy could be employed to construct mass spectral databases for various glucocorticoids,enabling comprehensive targeted screening across a broad range of compounds.

Objective:To investigate the impact of ubiquitin-specific protease 38 (USP38) on the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells.Methods:Between March and September 2023, tissue samples were collected from 18 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy in the Department of General Surgery, Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, and had complete clinical data. The samples included tumor tissue, adjacent tumor tissue, and normal tissue. Among the patients, there were 12 males and 6 females, aged between 34 and 71 years, with an average age of 62.5 years. The expression levels of USP38 in different tissue samples were validated using quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The functional significance of USP38 was verified through cell experiments and human tissue samples by knocking down or exogenously overexpressing USP38. Potential molecular mechanisms of USP38 were validated through qRT-PCR, MTT, Transwell, Western blot, mass spectrometry, clone formation assays, and immunoprecipitation. Measurement data with a normal distribution are expressed as the mean±standard deviation ( ± s). Comparisons between groups were performed using a t-test or one-way analysis of variance. Measurement data with a skewed distribution were described as [ M( Q1, Q3)], and comparisons between groups were performed using non-parametric tests. Comparisons between counting data were performed using the chi-squared test or Fisher′s exact probability method, with P<0.05 indicating a statistically significant difference. Results:qRT-PCR confirmed that USP38 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues compared to normal and paratumor tissues. Furthermore, mass spectrometry analysis identified FASN as a potential downstream target of USP38, and immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated a positive correlation between its expression level and USP38. USP38 was highly expressed in the SGC7901, AGS, and HGC27 gastric cancer cell lines. Knockdown of USP38 reduced FASN expression, thereby inhibiting cell proliferation and migration abilities. While the ability of cell proliferation and migration was increased significantly.Conclusions:USP38 is highly expressed in gastric cancer cells and promotes their proliferation and migration, potentially through downstream FASN-mediated fatty acid synthesis.

Objective:To investigate the perioperative safety, short-term and long-term efficacy, and surgical strategy of laparoscopic partial gastrectomy for gastrointestinal stromal tumors at the esophagogastric junction.Methods:Seventy-eight patients with mesenchymal tumors in the esophagogastric junction were retrospectively enrolled from September 2018 to August 2023 in which the upper edge of the tumor is less than 2 cm from the Z-line or has invaded the Z-line <1/2 circumference. There were 31 males (39.7%) and 47 females (60.3%), with an average age of (57.2±11.8) years and an average body mass index of (24.5±3.5) kg/m 2. All cases were divided into the wedge resection (WR) group ( n=51) and the resection by opening all of the layers of the stomach wall (RASW) group ( n=27) according to the surgical methods. Surgical outcomes, complications, recover and postoperative gastroesophageal reflux of both groups were compared. The measurement data with a normal distribution were represented by mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and values were compared using the independent sample t-test. The measurement data with a skewed distribution were represented by median (interquartile range) [ M( Q1, Q3)], and values were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were expressed as examples (percentages) [ n(%)], and the χ2 test was used to compare countable data. A non-parametric test was used to compare the grade data. Results:The WR group had shorter operation time [(97.1±32.6) min vs (149.9±54.9) min, t=-5.33, P<0.001], less intraoperative blood loss [15(10, 20) mL vs 20(10, 50) mL, z=-2.47, P=0.014], shorter postoperative exhaust time [2(1, 3) d vs 3(2, 3) d, z=-2.49, P=0.013], shorter postoperative oral intake time [2(2, 3) d vs 4(2, 5) d, t=-3.70, P<0.001], shorter postoperative semi-liquid diet time[5(4, 6) d vs 7(5, 8) d, z=-3.57, P<0.001], and shorter postoperative hospital stay [5(4, 6) d vs 7(6, 8) d, z=-4.16, P<0.001] than the RASW group, with statistically significant differences. There was no significant difference in short-term (≤30 days) complications between the two groups (2.0% vs 3.7%, z=-0.46, P=0.648). No cases of cardia stenosis occurred in either group. In the WR group, 3 patients developed gastroesophageal reflux at 6 months postoperatively, with 2 patients relieved after taking acid-suppressing drugs and 1 patient not completely relieved. In the RASW group, 1 patient developed gastroesophageal reflux at 6 months postoperatively and was not completely relieved after taking acid-suppressing drugs. No other patients had gastroesophageal reflux. No other patients have gastroesophageal reflux. Conclusions:WR and RASW are safe and feasible for mesenchymal tumors at the esophagogastric junction in which the upper edge of the tumor is less than 2 cm from the Z-line or has invaded the Z-line <1/2 circumference, and has achieved an excellent short-term effect. The choice of surgical approach can be determined based on varions factors such as the location of the tumor, the relationship of the position between the tumor and the cardia, and whether the tumor is exophytic growth.
