Journal: Ultrasensitive Upconversion Nanoparticle Immunoassay for Human Serum Cardiac Troponin I Detection Achieved with Resonant Waveguide Grating. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 18, 2024 The cTnI concentrations in human serum samples collected at different times during cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, and 5-fluorouracil (CEF) chemotherapy in a breast cancer patient were measured by an immunosensor, and the results showed that the CEF chemotherapy did cause cardiotoxicity in the patient. Having a higher number of wells in such an array-based biosensor, the sensor can be developed as a high-throughput diagnostic tool for clinically important biomarkers.

Cancer In Pregnancy And Maternal Chemotoxicity: A Retrospective Study From A Tertiary Center In Milan (Poster area) - Jan 18, 2024 - Abstract #ESGO2024ESGO_1009; For this reason, the only finding of anemia is not indicative of toxicity. No others adverse effects were observed.Conclusion Therapeutic standards for treatment of breast CIP seem to be safe: our experience shows a similar trend in the two groups of patients, not causing myelosuppression as the number of cycles increases.

High-RS group had a worse survival (p?<?0.01), lower immune checkpoint expression (p?<?0.05), immune cell abundance (p?<?0.05) and decreased sensitivity to Epirubicin (p?<?0.001), 5-fluorouracil (p?<?0.0001), Sorafenib (p?<?0.01) and Oxaliplatin (p?<?0.05). We constructed a TLR-based model, which could be used to assess the prognosis of patients with ESCC, provide new insights into drug treatment for ESCC patients and investigate the TME and drug response.

(Pubmed Central) - Jan 6, 2024 Epirubicin can be successfully loaded into the thermosensitive liquid embolic agents with good stability and sustained release. After adding iopromide, the drug loading capacity of thermosensitive liquid embolic agents decreased or disappeared.

Journal: In silico design of novel bioactive molecules to treat breast cancer with chlorogenic acid derivatives: a computational and SAR approach. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 28, 2023 The docking scores of 5-fluorouracil were found to be -5.25 kcal/mol, -3.43 kcal/mol, -3.73 kcal/mol, and -5.29 kcal/mol against PDB IDs 7KCD, 3ERT, 6CHZ, and 3HB5, which indicates the designed compounds have a better docking score than some standard drugs. Taking into account the results of molecular docking, drug likeness analysis, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) evaluation, and PASS, it can be concluded that chlorogenic acid derivatives hold promise as potent inhibitors for the treatment of breast cancer.

(Pubmed Central) - Dec 11, 2023 The most common grade ?3 adverse events were diarrhea (54.3%), followed by white blood cell count decreased (5.1%), and neutrophil count decreased (4.6%). In conclusion, the neoadjuvant regimen with ECPy-THPy showed promising pathological response and clinical benefits with an acceptable safety profile in patients with stage II-III HER2-positive breast cancer.

Unveiling proteomic diversity: A quantitative study of antibody drug conjugate and chemotherapy targets in gastroesophageal cancer. (Poster Bd # B19) - Dec 6, 2023 - Abstract #ASCOGI2024ASCO_GI_146; Topoisomerase 1 (Topo1) is the target for irinotecan or topotecan, and is also the target for some ADCs (e.g. trastuzumab deruxtecan, sacituzumab govitecan etc.)...Another topoisomerase, Topo2A, targetable by etoposide, epirubicin, and doxorubicin, was expressed in 59% of GEC with 19x range (402-7804 amol/?g)... Every cancer is different, and the ability to quantitate simultaneously 72 protein biomarkers from 2-3 FFPE sections provides a wealth of actionable information that, when combined with other multi-omics biomarker data, will help guide clinical treatment or patient stratification for clinical trials.

(Pubmed Central) - Dec 5, 2023 After 3 cycles of nivolumab, dacarbazine, cisplatin, and vinblastine therapy, a partial response was identified in the patient...The patient received neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery and was weak after surgery, so he did not receive chemoradiotherapy. The patient succumbed after 11 months postoperatively due to widespread intraabdominal metastasis.

(Pubmed Central) - Dec 4, 2023 P3 CMF had worse QOL effects than did capecitabine, which were persistent for 24 months. The favourable capecitabine QOL compared with CMF supports its use as an adjuvant option after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with triple-negative breast cancer.

Loaded cells with fluorescent sphingomyelin analog (BODIPY) and mCherry-EGFP-LC3B were used to track autophagic flux and assess cytotoxicity when cells are exposed to chemotherapy (epirubicin, cisplatin, and paclitaxel) together with sphingolipid pathway inhibitors and autophagy modulators...Results showed significant synergy, especially when combining epirubicin with autophagy inducers (rapamycin and Torin), reducing cell viability...Further research is needed to identify specific sphingolipids accumulating in autophagosomes. These findings offer insights into potential strategies for overcoming chemotherapy resistance by targeting the sphingolipid pathway.

Journal, PARP Biomarker: Modulation of SLFN11 induces changes in DNA Damage response in breast cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 25, 2023 Our results show that induction of SLFN11 expression can enhance DDA and DDR sensitivity in breast cancer cells and dCas9 systems may represent a novel approach to increase SLFN11 and achieve higher sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents, improving outcome or decreasing required drug concentrations. SLFN11-targeting therapies might be explored pre-clinically to develop personalized approaches.

The low-OARGscore group was predicted to benefit more from Ribociclib, Alisertib, Niraparib, Epirubicin, Olaparib, and Axitinib, while patients in the high-OARGscore group were predicted to benefit more from Afatinib, Oxaliplatin, Paclitaxel, 5-Fluorouracil, Dabrafenib and Lapatinib. Our findings offer a specific method for predicting a patient's prognosis and susceptibility to immunotherapy, as well as a promising insight of oxidative stress and autophagy in GC.
