Suba Z. DNA Damage Responses in Tumors Are Not Proliferative Stimuli, but Rather They Are DNA Repair Actions Requiring Supportive Medical Care. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:1573. [PMID: 38672654 PMCID: PMC11049279 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16081573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In tumors, somatic mutagenesis presumably drives the DNA damage response (DDR) via altered regulatory pathways, increasing genomic instability and proliferative activity. These considerations led to the standard therapeutic strategy against cancer: the disruption of mutation-activated DNA repair pathways of tumors. PURPOSE Justifying that cancer cells are not enemies to be killed, but rather that they are ill human cells which have the remnants of physiologic regulatory pathways. RESULTS 1. Genomic instability and cancer development may be originated from a flaw in estrogen signaling rather than excessive estrogen signaling; 2. Healthy cells with genomic instability exhibit somatic mutations, helping DNA restitution; 3. Somatic mutations in tumor cells aim for the restoration of DNA damage, rather than further genomic derangement; 4. In tumors, estrogen signaling drives the pathways of DNA stabilization, leading to apoptotic death; 5. In peritumoral cellular infiltration, the genomic damage of the tumor induces inflammatory cytokine secretion and increased estrogen synthesis. In the inflammatory cells, an increased growth factor receptor (GFR) signaling confers the unliganded activation of estrogen receptors (ERs); 6. In breast cancer cells responsive to genotoxic therapy, constitutive mutations help the upregulation of estrogen signaling and consequential apoptosis. In breast tumors non-responsive to genotoxic therapy, the possibilities for ER activation via either liganded or unliganded pathways are exhausted, leading to farther genomic instability and unrestrained proliferation. CONCLUSIONS Understanding the real character and behavior of human tumors at the molecular level suggests that we should learn the genome repairing methods of tumors and follow them by supportive therapy, rather than provoking additional genomic damages.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL-)11, an IL-6 family cytokine, has pivotal roles in autoimmune diseases, fibrotic complications, and solid cancers. Despite intense therapeutic targeting efforts, structural understanding of IL-11 signalling and mechanistic insights into current inhibitors are lacking. Here we present cryo-EM and crystal structures of the human IL-11 signalling complex, including the complex containing the complete extracellular domains of the shared IL-6 family β-receptor, gp130. We show that complex formation requires conformational reorganisation of IL-11 and that the membrane-proximal domains of gp130 are dynamic. We demonstrate that the cytokine mutant, IL-11 Mutein, competitively inhibits signalling in human cell lines. Structural shifts in IL-11 Mutein underlie inhibition by altering cytokine binding interactions at all three receptor-engaging sites and abrogating the final gp130 binding step. Our results reveal the structural basis of IL-11 signalling, define the molecular mechanisms of an inhibitor, and advance understanding of gp130-containing receptor complexes, with potential applications in therapeutic development.

[PMID: 37234180 PMCID: PMC10205934 DOI: 10.1007/s12291-022-01097-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Platelets or thrombocytes play an important role in thrombosis and maintaining hemostasis. Thrombocytes help in forming blood clots at the site of the wound. When the level of platelets decreases, uncontrolled bleeding occurs which can result in mortality. A decrease in the blood platelet level is known as thrombocytopenia which can be caused due to various reasons. A variety of treatment options are available for thrombocytopenia like platelet transfusion, splenectomy, platelet management with various types of corticosteroids, and recombinant interleukin-11 (rhIL-11). The use of rhIL-11 is approved by FDA for the treatment of thrombocytopenia. rhIL-11 is a recombinant cytokine that is administered to patients suffering from chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia as it enhances megakaryocytic proliferation which aids in platelet production. But this treatment has various side effects and is costly. Hence, there is a crucial need to identify cost-effective alternative strategies that present no side effects. The majority of the population in low-income countries requires a functional and cost-effective treatment for low thrombocyte count. Carica papaya is a tropical herbaceous plant that has been reported in recovering low platelet count during dengue virus infection. Even though multiple benefits of the Carica papaya leaf extract (CPLE) are popular, the active compound present in it, which mediates these benefits, remains to be identified. This review aims to highlight the different aspects of rhIL-11 and CPLE-induced platelet counts and their limitations and benefits in the treatment of thrombocytopenia. The literature related to the treatment of thrombocytopenia using rhIL-11 and CPLE from 1970 to 2022 was searched using PubMed and Google Scholar databases with the keywords Recombinant Interleukin-11, Papaya Leaf Extract, Thrombocytopenia, and Platelets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This prospective interventional study aimed to evaluate and analyse the efficacy of rhIL-11 mouthwash compared to Kangfuxin fluid in treatment and blank control in prevention of oral mucositis (OM) in patients receiving chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 50 patients in the treatment group and 62 patients in the prevention group were included. Subsequently, each group was divided into an experimental group and a control group. In the treatment group, the experimental patients received recombinant human interleukin-11 (rhIL-11) mouthwash, whereas the control group received Kangfuxin fluid. In the prevention group, experimental patients still received rhIL-11 mouthwash based on routine oral care, whereas the control group only received routine oral care. Meanwhile, we observed and recorded the efficacy in the treatment group, and the occurrence and grades of OM in the prevention group. RESULTS Through statistical analysis, the results showed that on the seventh day of treatment, the experimental group showed more improvement compared to the control group, and it was statistically significant (p = 0.032). The average healing time in the experimental group (3.59 ± 1.927 days) was shorter than that in the control group (4.96 ± 2.421 days; p = 0.031). In the prevention group, we observed the incidence of oral mucositis. No significant differences were found in the occurrence and grades of OM in the experimental and control groups (p = 0.175). CONCLUSION Our preliminary results indicate that rhIL-11 mouthwash may be a superior option to treat OM, especially in severe cases, compared to Kangfuxin fluid. However, there is no advantage in prevention.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Carica papaya L. (C. papaya) is used as a folk medicine for the treatment of various diseases throughout the world. Recently, papaya leaves decoction has been effectively used for the prevention and treatment of thrombocytopenia. The current study was undertaken to evaluate the thrombopoietic and immunomodulatory activities of C. papaya leaves in the mouse model of carboplatin induced myelosuppression. METHODS Myelosuppression was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of carboplatin (125 mg/kg b. w.). Aqueous extract of C. papaya leaves (15 mg/kg b. w.) was given orally by feeding tube from day 0-18 to preventive group to see the preventive effect and from day 6-18 to treatment group for treatment effect. RESULTS The results showed that the C. papaya leaves extract significantly decreased the fall in platelet count in preventive and treatment groups. Extract significantly prevented the fall in total WBCs count on day 12 and 18 in the preventive group, whereas it significantly elevated the WBCs count in treatment group on day 18. Significantly increased RBCs count in both groups was observed on day 18 after treatment with C. papaya leaves extract. Treatment with C. papaya leaves extract significantly upregulated the mRNA expression levels of thrombopoietic cytokine IL-11 in both preventive and treatment groups. It is also observed that restoration of normal platelet count might have been resulted owing to the synergistic effect of upregulated IL-11 which ultimately led to a significantly diminished TPO expression. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that aqueous extract of C. papaya leaves possesses significant preventive and curative properties against thrombocytopenia.

Abstract
Interleukin-11 (IL-11) is a cytokine that has been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of fibrotic diseases and solid malignancies. Elevated IL-11 expression is also associated with several non-malignant inflammatory diseases where its function remains less well-characterized. Here, we summarize current literature surrounding the contribution of IL-11 to the pathogenesis of autoimmune inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, diabetes and systemic sclerosis, as well as other chronic inflammatory conditions such as periodontitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, psoriasis and colitis.

Abstract
Multiple lines of evidence are indicating that cancer development and malignant progression are not exclusively epithelial cancer cell-autonomous processes but may also depend on crosstalk with the surrounding tumor microenvironment (TME). Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are abundantly represented in the TME and are continuously interacting with cancer cells. CAFs are regulating key mechanisms during progression to metastasis and response to treatment by enhancing cancer cells survival and aggressiveness. The latest advances in CAFs biology are pointing to CAFs-secreted factors as druggable targets and companion tools for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Especially, extensive research conducted in the recent years has underscored the potential of several cytokines as actionable biomarkers that are currently evaluated in the clinical setting. In this review, we explore the current understanding of CAFs secretome determinants and functions to discuss their clinical implication in oncology.

Immunogenicity and toxicokinetics assessment of the mono-PEGylated recombinant human interleukin-11 in cynomolgus monkeys. Life Sci 2020; 259:118244.

Abstract
AIM Protein therapeutics have potential to elicit immune responses resulting in undesirable anti-drug antibodies (ADA) that might affect product efficacy and patient safety, and should be assessed in animals before applying the treatment to humans. In this paper, we aim to assess the immunogenicity and toxicokinetics of the mono-PEGylated recombinant human interleukin-11 (rhIL-11), a novel protein therapeutic for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia, in repeated administration to cynomolgus monkeys. MAIN METHODS Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods were developed to measure ADA responses and plasma PEGylated IL-11 (PEG-IL11) concentration in monkeys. Assay parameters of immunogenicity and toxicokinetics methods were evaluated during validation in accordance with regulatory guidelines. We also employed cell-based assays to test the neutralizing activity of ADA provoked in monkeys. KEY FINDINGS The results showed that weak immunogenicity occurred in some monkeys after receiving repeated dose of 0.1-0.3 mg/kg by subcutaneous administration and disappeared after the recovery period. More pronounced immunogenicity occurred at high dose of 0.9 mg/kg, with a higher positive rate and titer, and some ADAs had neutralizing activity, but it can be greatly reduced after recovery. Such ADAs generated in monkeys may be accounted for the plasma toxicokinetics changes of PEG-IL11 and a minor reduction in systemic exposure. SIGNIFICANCE These methods have been successfully applied to immunogenicity and toxicokinetic studies of PEG-IL11 in repeated dose toxicity following subcutaneous administration to monkeys, and could be successfully used in clinical trials after some modifications.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-11 is a multifunctional cytokine that exerts a series of important immunomodulatory effects and exists in many tissues and cells. A 1106-bp nucleotide sequence representing the complete cDNA of IL-11 was obtained from large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea), containing an open reading frame (ORF) of 603 bp encoding for 200 amino acids (aa). The predicted LcIL-11 protein included a 12aa signal peptide and a conserved IL-11 domain. The polypeptide sequence identities between LcIL-11 and its counterparts in mammals and other fish are from 84% to 92% with known fish IL-11a and 22%-27% with fish IL-11b. LcIL-11 mRNA existed in most tissues with the most predominant expression in the gill. After immune challenge, the expression levels of LcIL-11 were induced largely in vivo and in vitro, with the peak-value of 32 times as much as the control in the liver at 24 h after Vibrio parahaemolyticus injection (p < 0.05) and the greatest value of 13.9 times as much as the control in LCK cells at 12 h after poly I:C stimulation (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the overexpression vector pcDNA3.1-LcIL-11 was constructed and transfected to LCK cells. Our results showed that the transcriptional expression levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and myxovirus resistant protein (Mx) significantly up-regulated in LCK cells after LcIL-11 overexpression (p < 0.05). However, no significant changes of IL-1β, janus kinase (JAK)2 and signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT)5 was detected. Our finding indicated that LcIL-11 might enhance TNF-α and antiviral protein Mx expression in large yellow croaker.

Abstract
RATIONALE, AIMS, AND OBJECTIVES Current meta-analysis was conducted aiming to assess the efficacy and safety of recombinant human interleukin-11 (rhIL-11) in the treatment of acute leukaemia (AL) patients with chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT). METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure database (CNKI), Cochrane Library, and Wan Fang Database on 4 July 2018. RESULTS Ten randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and two observational studies were included, which involved 754 AL patients with CIT. Pooled analysis demonstrated that rhIL-11 was beneficial on CIT: recovery time of platelet count to 50 × 109 /L [weight mean difference (WMD) = -4.19 days; 95% CI: -5.01, -3.37], recovery time of platelet count to 100 × 109 /L (WMD = -4.45 days; 95% CI: -4.85, -4.06), platelet transfusion volume (WMD = -6.14 U; 95% CI: -9.20, -3.09), and the rate of haemorrhage (RR = 0.46; 95% CI: 0.36 to 0.61). Most adverse events associated with rhIL-11 were mild to moderate. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that rhIL-11 is effective and safe in the treatment of CIT in patients with AL.

Patients and Methods: Patients under a FOLFIRI chemotherapy regimen (n = 92) were randomly divided into study and control groups (n = 46 for each group) and were given 10 g of Shen Cao granules and a placebo, respectively, once daily on chemotherapy treatment days. Platelet counts were measured every other day and any adverse reaction recorded during the study and at follow-up. Results: The incidence of thrombocytopenia (grades II-IV) in the study group was significantly decreased, and the length of hospitalization significantly reduced compared with the control group (11.21 ± 2.46 vs 15.34 ± 3.68 days, P < .05). The minimum numbers of post-chemotherapy platelets and the values of platelet counts 21 days after chemotherapy were significantly increased ([100.65 ± 63.16] × 109/L vs [60.21 ±37.22] × 109/L, P < .05; [267.81 ± 81.32] × 109/L vs [146.42 ± 70.54] × 109/L, P < .001), and the duration of thrombocytopenia and treatment with recombinant human interleukin-11 was significantly decreased in the Shen Cao treatment compared with the control group. No serious adverse events were observed. Conclusions: Shen Cao granules were effective in decreasing chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia, shortened the duration of thrombocytopenia, and reduced the length of hospital stay and costs.

Transcriptional profiles of cytokines and chemokines reveal important pro-inflammatory response from endothelial cells during Orientia tsutsugamushi infection. Microbes Infect 2019; 21:313-320.

Abstract
Endothelial cells (EC) are key targets during Orientia tsutsugamushi infection. Knowledge of the pro-inflammatory response against O. tsutsugamushi by ECs is limited. The aim of the present study was to characterize the pro-inflammatory transcriptional response during the first 24 h of infection of the human dermal microvascular endothelial cell line with O. tsutsugamushi Karp by examining five-time points. The transcriptional profiles of 84 genes including cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, and TNF receptor superfamily genes were studied using a RT-PCR array. We identified 40 of the 84 genes that were up or down modulated during the early O. tsutsugamushi infection that differed remarkably from genes of non-infected cells. The modulated genes included: the interleukins (IL-1α/β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-7, IL-10, IL-11, IL-18, and IL-24), chemokines (CXCL8, CCL2/MCP1, CCL5/RANTES, and CCL17), growth factors (NODAL, CNTF, and CSF2/GM-CSF), and TNFSF13B. IL-1β, IL-4, and IL-11 were highly induced at one hour post infection, whereas, CCL17 was profoundly up-regulated and IFNα2 was greatly down-regulated during the entire 24-hour time course. These results provide insight into the early pro-inflammatory response of endothelial cells to O. tsutsugamushi infection and indicate their potential role in the pathophysiology of the host's initial response to O. tsutsugamushi infection.

Use of Chinese Herbal Medicine Improves Chemotherapy-Induced Thrombocytopenia among Gynecological Cancer Patients: An Observational Study. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2018; 2018:4201325. [PMID: 30174705 PMCID: PMC6106719 DOI: 10.1155/2018/4201325] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2018] [Revised: 06/04/2018] [Accepted: 06/10/2018] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Background Chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) is a serious complication among patients with gynecological malignancies, yet management options are limited. This study aimed at reporting the potential of the Chang Gung platelet elevating formula (CGPEF), a prescription with a fixed proportion of Chinese herbs, for improving CIT among gynecologic cancer patients. Materials From 1/1/2007 to 31/12/2009, a total of 23 patients with two consecutive CIT episodes (≤ 100×103 /μL) (last cycle: C0; index cycle: C1) received the CGPEF from the nadir of platelet count of C1 and through the subsequent chemotherapy cycles (C2 and beyond). The CGPEF was taken orally four times a day. The evolution of platelet counts of 18 patients after administration of CGPEF was analyzed (2 patients had different chemotherapy regimens after CGPEF, two patients discontinued CGPEF due to the flavor and the amount of CGPEF, and one patient had no further chemotherapy). Results Most of the patients had recurrent ovarian cancer (11/18, 61%) with a median of 2.5 previous chemotherapy regimens, and carboplatin-based regimens were the most commonly used for these patients (13/18, 72%). The trend of successive CIT could be reversed after taking CGPEF. Also, the platelet nadir was higher after CGPEF treatment (16.5×103/μL versus 32×103/μL, before and after CGPEF treatment, resp., p = 0.002). Moreover, the chemotherapy interval decreased from 30.5 days to 24 days. No thrombocytosis, clinical bleeding, thromboembolism, or other adverse events were found among these patients. Conclusions The CGPEF is worthy of further large-scale, well-designed clinical trials for CIT among gynecological cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interleukin (IL) 11 is closely related to tumor and hematological system diseases. Recent studies have demonstrated that IL-11 also participates in cardiovascular diseases, including ischemia-reperfusion mediated heart injury and acute myocardial infarction. This study aimed to investigate whether IL-11 is involved in acute thoracic aortic dissection (TAD). METHODS Aortic tissue samples from normal donors and acute TAD patients were collected, and the expression of IL-11 in all aortic tissue was analyzed. In addition, blood samples from patients with chest pain were collected and divided into a non-AD (NAD) group and a TAD group according to the results of computed tomography angiography of the thoracic aorta. The plasma IL-11, IL-17 and interferon (IFN) γ in all blood samples were measured. RESULTS Compared with aortic tissue of normal controls, IL-11 was significantly increased in aortic tissue of acute TAD patients, especially in the torn section. The IL-11 was derived from aorta macrophages in TAD. In addition, the plasma IL-11, IL-17 and IFN-γ were significantly higher in acute TAD patients than in NAD patients, and the correlation analysis showed that IL-11 levels were positively correlated with levels of IFN-γ, IL-17, glucose, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, white blood cells, C-reactive proteins and D-dimers. Binary logistic regression analyses showed that elevated IL11 in patients who may have diagnostic value of TAD, but less that D-dimer. CONCLUSION IL-11 was increased in thoracic aorta and plasma of TAD patients and may be a promising biomarker for diagnosis in patients with TAD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) is defined as a peripheral platelet count less than 100×109/L, with or without bleeding in cancer patients receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy. CIT is a significant medical problem during chemotherapy, and it carries the risk of sub-optimal overall survival and bleeding. Alternative interventions to platelet transfusion are limited. Different stages of preclinical and clinical studies have examined the thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs) for CIT in patients with solid tumours. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of TPO-RAs to prevent and treat CIT in patients with solid tumours:(1) to prevent CIT in patients without thrombocytopenia before chemotherapy, (2) to prevent recurrence of CIT, and (3) to treat CIT in patients with thrombocytopenia during chemotherapy. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, to 28 September 2017), MEDLINE (from 1950 to 28 September 2017), as well as online registers of ongoing trials (Clinical Trials, Chinese Clinical Trial Register, Australian New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry, WHO ICTRP Search Portal, International Standard Randomised Controlled Trial Number registry, GlaxoSmithKline Clinical Study Register, and Amgen Clinical Trials) and conference proceedings (American Society of Hematology, American Society of Clinical Oncology, European Hematology Association, European Society of Medical Oncology, and Conference Proceedings Citation Index-Science, from 2002 up to September 2017) for studies. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing TPO-RAs alone, or in combination with other drugs, to placebo, no treatment, other drugs, or another TPO-RAs for CIT in patients with solid tumours. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently screened the results of the search strategies, extracted data, assessed risk of bias, and analysed data according to standard methodological methods expected by Cochrane. MAIN RESULTS We identified six trials eligible for inclusion, of which two are ongoing, and one awaiting classification study. The three included trials were conducted at many different sites in Europe, America, and Asia. All of the three studies recruited adult and elder participants (no children were included) with solid tumours, and compared TPO-RAs with placebo. No studies compared TPO-RAs alone, or in combination with other drugs, to no treatment, or other drugs, or another TPO-RAs.We judged the overall risk of bias as high as we found a high risk for detection bias. We assessed the risk of bias arising from inadequate blinding of outcome assessors as high for number and severity of bleeding episodes (one of the primary outcomes).To prevent CIT: We included two trials (206 participants) comparing TPO-RAs (eltrombopag, multiple-dose oral administration with chemotherapy) with placebo. The use of TPO-RAs may make little or no difference to the all-cause mortality at 33 weeks of follow-up (RR 1.35, 95% CI 0.53 to 3.45; one trial, 26 participants; low quality of evidence). There is not enough evidence to determine whether TPO-RAs reduce the number of patients with at least one bleeding episode of any severity (RR 0.62, 95% CI 0.22 to 1.78; two trials, 206 participants; very low quality of evidence). There is not enough evidence to determine whether TPO-RAs reduce the number of patients with at least one severe/life-threatening bleeding episode (RR 0.36, 95% CI 0.06 to 2.06; two trials, 206 participants; very low quality of evidence). No studies were found that looked at overall survival (one of the primary outcomes), the number of treatment cycles with at least one bleeding episode, the number of days on which bleeding occurred, the amount of bleeding, or quality of life.To prevent recurrence of CIT: We included one trial (62 participants) comparing TPO-RAs (romiplostim, single-dose subcutaneous administration with chemotherapy) with placebo. There is not enough evidence to determine whether TPO-RAs reduce the number of patients with at least one bleeding episode of any severity (RR 2.80, 95% CI 0.17 to 47.53; one trial, 62 participants; very low quality of evidence). There is not enough evidence to determine whether TPO-RAs reduce the number of patients with at least one severe/life-threatening bleeding episode (no severe/life-threatening bleeding episodes; one trial, 62 participants; very low quality of evidence). No studies were found that looked at overall survival (one of the primary outcomes), the number of treatment cycles with at least one bleeding episode, the number of days on which bleeding occurred, the amount of bleeding, or quality of life. We found one ongoing study (expected recruitment 74 participants), it is planned to give TPO-RAs (romiplostim, subcutaneous administration with chemotherapy) to participants, but to date this trial has not reported any outcomes.To treat CIT: We found one ongoing study (expected recruitment 83 participants), which is planned to give TPO-RAs (eltrombopag, seven days orally) to participants when their platelet counts are less than 75×109/L during chemotherapy. This trial was originally planned to complete in March 2017, however, the completion date has passed and no results are reported.The one awaiting classification study included patients without thrombocytopenia before chemotherapy (to prevent CIT), patients with thrombocytopenia during chemotherapy (to prevent recurrence of CIT), and other patients during chemotherapy (uncertain whether CIT had happened). There was no evidence for a difference in the number of patients with at least one bleeding episode of any severity (RR 0.27, 95% CI 0.07 to 1.02; one trial, 75 participants). There was no evidence for a difference in the number of patients with at least one severe/life-threatening bleeding episode (RR 0.44, 95% CI 0.03 to 6.77; one trial, 75 participants). This study did not address overall survival or quality of life. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS No certain conclusions can be drawn due to the lack of strong evidence in the review. The available weak evidence did not support the use of TPO-RAs for preventing CIT or preventing recurrence of CIT in patients with solid tumours. There was no evidence to support the use of TPO-RAs for treating CIT in patients with solid tumours.

Abstract
In order to improve the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of recombinant human interleukin-11 mutein (mIL-11) and to reduce the frequency of administration, we examined the feasibility of chemical modification of mIL-11 by methoxy polyethylene glycol succinimidyl carbonate (mPEG-SC). PEG-mIL-11 was prepared by a pH controlled amine specific method. Bioactivity of the protein was determined in a IL-11-dependent in vitro bioassay, its pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties were investigated by using normal and thrombocytopenic monkey models. N-terminus sequencing and peptide mapping analysis revealed that Lys33 is the PEGylated position for PEG-mIL-11. Bioactivity of PEG-mIL-11 assessed by B9-11 cell proliferation assay was comparable to that of mIL-11. More than 79-fold increase in area-under-the curve (AUC) and 26-fold increase in maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) was observed in pharmacokinetic analysis. Single dose administration of the PEG-mIL-11 induced blood platelets number increase and the effect duration were comparable to that of 7 to 10 consecutive daily administration of mIL-11 to the normal and thrombocytopenic monkey models. PEG-mIL-11 is a promising therapeutic for thrombocytopenia.

Abstract
Interleukin-11 (IL-11) has been expected as a drug on severe thrombocytopenia caused by myelo-suppressive chemotherapy. Whereas, development of IL-11 inhibitor is also expected for a treatment against IL-11 related cancer progression. Here, we will demonstrate the creation of various kinds of genetically modified hIL-11s. Modified vectors were constructed by introducing N- or O-glycosylation site on the region of hIL-11 that does not belong to the core α-helical motif based on the predicted secondary structure. N-terminal (N: between 22 to 23 aa), the first loop (M1:70 to 71 aa), the second loop (M2:114-115 aa), the third loop (M3:160-161 aa) and C-terminal (C: 200- aa) were selected for modification. A large scale production system was established and the characteristics of modified hIL-11s were evaluated. The structure was analyzed by amino acid sequence and composition analysis and CD-spectra. Glycan was assessed by monosaccharide composition analysis. Growth promoting activity and biological stability were analyzed by proliferation of T1165 cells. N-terminal modified proteins were well glycosylated and produced. Growth activity of 3NN with NASNASNAS sequence on N-terminal was about tenfold higher than wild type (WT). Structural and biological stabilities of 3NN were also better than WT and residence time in mouse blood was longer than WT. M1 variants lacked growth activity though they are well glycosylated and secondary structure is very stable. Both of 3NN and OM1 with AAATPAPG on M1 associated with hIL-11R strongly. These results indicate N-terminal and M1 variants will be expected for practical use as potent agonists or antagonists of hIL-11.

Abstract
Human Interleukin (IL)-11 is a multifunctional cytokine, recognized for its thrombopoietic effects for more than two decades; clinically, IL-11 is used in the treatment of thrombocytopenia. IL-11 shares structural and functional similarities with IL-6, a related family member. In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in IL-11, because its distinct biological activities associated with cancers of epithelial origin and inflammatory disorders have been revealed. Although the crystal structure of IL-11 was resolved more than two years, a better understanding of the mechanisms of IL-11 action is required to further extend the clinical use of IL-11. This review will discuss the available structural, functional, and bioinformatics knowledge concerning IL-11 and will summarize its relationship with several diseases.

Abstract
IL-11 is a member of the IL-6 family of cytokines. While it was discovered over 20 years ago, we have very little understanding of the role of IL-11 during normal homeostasis and disease. Recently, IL-11 has gained interest for its newly recognized role in the pathogenesis of diseases that are attributed to deregulated mucosal homeostasis, including gastrointestinal cancers. IL-11 can increase the tumorigenic capacity of cells, including survival of the cell or origin, proliferation of cancerous cells and survival of metastatic cells at distant organs. Here we outline our current understanding of IL-11 biology and recent advances in our understanding of its role in cancer. We advocate that inhibition of IL-11 signaling may represent an emerging therapeutic opportunity for numerous cancers.

Abstract
Platelets modulate vascular system integrity, and their loss is critical in haematological pathologies and after chemotherapy. Therefore, identification of molecules enhancing platelet production would be useful to counteract thrombocytopenia. We have previously shown that 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) acts as a true agonist of platelets, as well as it commits erythroid precursors toward the megakaryocytic lineage. Against this background, we sought to further interrogate the role of 2-AG in megakaryocyte/platelet physiology by investigating terminal differentiation, and subsequent thrombopoiesis. To this end, we used MEG-01 cells, a human megakaryoblastic cell line able to produce in vitro platelet-like particles. 2-AG increased the number of cells showing ruffled surface and enhanced surface expression of specific megakaryocyte/platelet surface antigens, typical hallmarks of terminal megakaryocytic differentiation and platelet production. Changes in cytoskeleton modeling also occurred in differentiated megakaryocytes and blebbing platelets. 2-AG acted by binding to CB1 and CB2 receptors, because specific antagonists reverted its effect. Platelets were split off from megakaryocytes and were functional: they contained the platelet-specific surface markers CD61 and CD49, whose levels increased following stimulation with a natural agonist like collagen. Given the importance of 2-AG for driving megakaryopoiesis and thrombopoiesis, not surprisingly we found that its hydrolytic enzymes were tightly controlled by classical inducers of megakaryocyte differentiation. In conclusion 2-AG, by triggering megakaryocyte maturation and platelet release, may have clinical efficacy to counteract thrombocytopenia-related diseases.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-11 is a member of the IL-6 family of cytokines that is defined by the shared use of the GP130 signal transducing receptor subunit. In addition of its long recognized activities as a hemopoietic growth factor, IL-11 has an emerging role in epithelial cancer biology. Through the activation of the GP130-Janus kinase signaling cascade and associated transcription factor STAT3, IL-11 can confer many of the tumor intrinsic 'hallmark' capabilities to neoplastic cells, if they express the ligand-specific IL-11Rα receptor subunit. Accordingly, IL-11 signaling has recently been identified as a rate-limiting step for the growth tumors arising from the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. However, there is less appreciation for a potential role of IL-11 to support breast cancer progression, apart from its well documented capacity to facilitate bone metastasis. Here we review evidence that IL-11 expression in breast cancer correlates with poor disease outcome and discuss some of the molecular mechanisms that are likely to underpin these observations. These include the capacity of IL-11 to stimulate survival and proliferation of cancer cells alongside angiogenesis of the primary tumor and of metastatic progenies at distant organs. We review current strategies to interfere with IL-11 signaling and advocate that inhibition of IL-11 signaling may represent an emerging therapeutic opportunity for numerous cancers.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) is the most important cause of thrombocytopenia in cancer patients. In this paper, I discussed the effect of ABO blood group on CIT in patients with stage III colon cancer. In a pilot study, a total of 131 (72 men, 55 %) eligible patients with stage III colon cancer were divided into two groups according to whether they had CIT. Both groups were compared using demographic, histopathological, and laboratory variables. CIT was detected in 51 (40 %) of 131 patients. The incidence of CIT had a significant increased in patients with 0 blood group compared to other blood groups. It was concluded that the relationship between blood group 0 and the presence of CIT in patients with stage III colon cancer is independent of other study variables (P = 0.035, OR 3.14, 95 % CI 1.16-7.01). In conclusion, I hypothesized that 0 blood group may predict to differentiate high-risk patients for CIT.

Abstract
Inflammation underlies many diseases and is an undesired effect of several therapy modalities. Biomathematical modeling can help unravel the complex inflammatory processes and the mechanisms triggering their emergence. We developed a model for induction of C-reactive protein (CRP), a clinically reliable marker of inflammation, by interleukin (IL)-11, an approved cytokine for treatment of chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia. Due to paucity of information on the mechanisms underlying inflammation-induced CRP dynamics, our model was developed by systematically evaluating several models for their ability to retrieve variable CRP profiles observed in IL-11-treated breast cancer patients. The preliminary semi-mechanistic models were designed by non-linear mixed-effects modeling, and were evaluated by various performance criteria, which test goodness-of-fit, parsimony and uniqueness. The best-performing model, a robust population model with minimal inter-individual variability, uncovers new aspects of inflammation dynamics. It shows that CRP clearance is a nonlinear self-controlled process, indicating an adaptive anti-inflammatory reaction in humans. The model also reveals a dual IL-11 effect on CRP elevation, whereby the drug has not only a potent immediate influence on CRP incline, but also a long-term influence inducing elevated CRP levels for several months. Consistent with this, model simulations suggest that periodic IL-11 therapy may result in prolonged low-grade (chronic) inflammation post treatment. Future application of the model can therefore help design improved IL-11 regimens with minimized long-term CRP toxicity. Our study illuminates the dynamics of inflammation and its control, and provides a prototype for progressive modeling of complex biological processes in the medical realm and beyond.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy, with few effective treatment options in most cases. Therefore, understanding the biology of ovarian cancer remains an important area of research in order to improve clinical outcomes. Cytokine receptor signaling through the Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway is an essential component of normal development and homeostasis. However, numerous studies have implicated perturbation of this pathway in a range of cancers. In particular, members of the IL-6R family acting via the downstream STAT3 transcription factor play an important role in a number of solid tumors - including ovarian cancer - by altering the expression of target genes that impact on key phenotypes. This has led to the development of specific inhibitors of this pathway which are being used in combination with standard chemotherapeutic agents. This review focuses on the role of IL-6R family members in the etiology of epithelial ovarian cancer, and the application of therapies specifically targeting IL-6R signaling in this disease setting.

Diagnosis and treatment of coagulopathy following percutaneous cryoablation of liver tumors: experience in 372 patients. Cryobiology 2013; 67:146-50. [PMID: 23830952 DOI: 10.1016/j.cryobiol.2013.06.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2013] [Revised: 06/12/2013] [Accepted: 06/13/2013] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Coagulopathy after liver cryoablation was first reported many years ago; the cause is local platelet trapping and destruction within the margin of the cryolesion. However, the prognosis and therapeutic effects of coagulopathy remain unclear. This study retrospectively reviewed clinical data from 372 patients (525 sessions) who underwent liver cryoablation in our hospital during the past 4.5 years. Small tumors (major diameter < 6 cm) were treated with a single complete ablation; massive tumors (major diameter 6-10 cm or >10 cm) were divided into two or three parts that were dealt with in turn. Platelet counts decreased to an average of (46.12 ± 68.13) × 10(9)/L after each session of cryoablation. The decline was most evident in patients with high pretreatment platelet counts, while those with low pretreatment counts had the highest risk of coagulopathy. Change in platelet count was not correlated with the diameter of the tumor. Slight coagulopathy (platelet count (70-100) × 10(9)/L) can resolve without treatment within 1 week and administration of recombinant human interleukin-11 can assist recovery from severe coagulopathy (platelet count < 70 × 10(9)/L).
