Abstract
Primary human omental adipocytes and ovarian cancer(OC) cells establish a bidirectional communication in which tumor driven lipolysis is induced in adipocytes and the resulting fatty acids are delivered to cancer cells within the tumor microenvironment. Despite meaningful improvement in the treatment of OC, its efficacy is still limited by hydrophobicity and untargeted effects related to chemotherapeutics. Herein, omental adipocytes are firstly used as a reservoir for paclitaxel, named Living Paclitaxel Bullets (LPB) and secondly benefit from the established dialogue between adipocytes and cancer cells to engineer a drug delivery process that target specifically cancer cells. These results show that mature omental adipocytes can successfully uptake paclitaxel and deliver it to OC cells in a transwell coculture based in vitro model. In addition, the efficacy of this proof-of-concept has been demonstrated in vivo and induces a significant inhibition of tumor growth on a xenograft tumor model. The use of mature adipocytes can be suitable for clinical prospection in a cell-based therapy system, due to their mature and differentiated state, to avoid risks related to uncontrolled cell de novo proliferation capacity after the delivery of the antineoplastic drug as observed with other cell types when employed as drug carriers.

Abstract
Endometrial adenocarcinoma (EC) is a common type of cancer in women that starts in the lining of the uterus. It usually affects women following menopause but can also occur in younger women. There are different types of EC based on how the cells look under a microscope and their molecular characteristics. EC is generally divided into two main groups: Type I, which is linked to estrogen and mainly consists of low-grade cells, is more common and usually has a better outcome; and Type II, which is not related to estrogen, consists of high-grade cells, is less common, and typically has a worse prognosis. This case report presents a comprehensive examination of the clinical course of a 65-year-old female patient who achieved complete remission following a relapse of high-risk EC through a unique therapeutic approach involving Taxonab 300mg/carboplatin 450mg. The case report underscores the significance of investigating nab-paclitaxel-based interventions as a promising strategy for improving outcomes in patients facing the challenging scenario of inoperable, high-risk EC relapses.

Abstract
Gynecological malignancies are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality across the globe. Due to delayed presentation, gynecological cancer patients are often referred late in the disease's course, resulting in poor outcomes. A considerable number of patients ultimately succumb to chemotherapy-resistant disease, which reoccurs at advanced stages despite treatment interventions. Although efforts have been devoted to developing therapies that demonstrate reduced resistance to chemotherapy and enhanced toxicity profiles, current clinical outcomes remain unsatisfactory due to treatment resistance and unfavorable off-target effects. Consequently, innovative biological and nanotherapeutic approaches are imperative to strengthen and optimize the therapeutic arsenal for gynecological cancers. Advancements in nanotechnology-based therapies for gynecological malignancies offer significant advantages, including reduced toxicity, expanded drug circulation, and optimized therapeutic dosing, ultimately leading to enhanced treatment effectiveness. Recent advances in nucleic acid therapeutics using microRNA, small interfering RNA, and messenger RNA provide novel approaches for cancer therapeutics. Effective single-agent and combinatorial nucleic acid therapeutics for gynecological malignancies have the potential to transform cancer treatment by giving safer, more tailored approaches than conventional therapies. This review highlights current preclinical studies that effectively exploit these approaches for the treatment of gynecological malignant tumors and malignant ascites.

Abstract
Serious side effects of chemotherapy drugs greatly limited the anticancer performance, while targeted drug delivery could improve the therapeutic effect and reduce side effects. In this work, biodegradable hydrogel was fabricated from pectin hydrazide (pec-H) and oxidized carboxymethyl cellulose (DCMC) for localized Silibinin delivery in lung adenocarcinoma treatment. The self-healing pec-H/DCMC hydrogel showed blood compatibility and cell compatibility both in vitro and in vivo, and could be degraded by enzymes. The hydrogel also formed fast fit for injectable applications and showed sustained drug release characteristic sensitive to pH based on acylhydrzone bond cross-linked networks. The Silibinin, as a specific lung cancer inhibiting drug targets TMEM16A ion channel, was loaded into the pec-H/DCMC hydrogel to treat the lung cancer in mice model. The results showed that the hydrogel loaded Silibinin significantly enhanced the anti-tumor efficiency in vivo and greatly reduced the toxicity of the Silibinin. Based on the dual effect of improving efficacy and reducing side effects, the pec-H/DCMC hydrogel with Silibinin loading have broad application prospects to inhibit lung tumor growth in clinic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of nab-paclitaxel plus platinum as first-line chemotherapy for ovarian cancer (OC). METHODS Patients administered platinum combined with nab-paclitaxel as first-line chemotherapy for epithelial OC, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer from July 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively evaluated. The primary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS). Adverse events (AEs) were examined. Subgroup analysis was performed. RESULTS Seventy-two patients (median age, 54.5 years; range, 20.0-79.0 years) were evaluated, including 12 and 60 administered neoadjuvant therapy and primary surgery with subsequent chemotherapy, respectively. The median follow-up duration was 25.6 months, and the median PFS was 26.7 (95% confidence interval [CI]=24.0-29.3) months in the whole patient population. In the neoadjuvant subgroup, the median PFS was 26.7 (95% CI=22.9-30.5) months vs. 30.1 (95% CI=23.1-37.1) months in the primary surgery subgroup. Twenty-seven patients were administered nab-paclitaxel plus carboplatin and had a median PFS of 30.3 (95% CI=not available [NA]-NA) months. The commonest grade 3-4 AEs included anemia (15.3%), white blood cell decreased (11.1%), and neutrophil count decreased (20.8%). No drug-related hypersensitivity reactions occurred. CONCLUSION Nab-paclitaxel plus platinum as first-line treatment in OC was associated with a favorable prognosis and was tolerable in patients with OC.

Abstract
Background: Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest gynecological cancers, with the most advanced disease and poor survival. Although BRCA genes play a key role in maintaining genomic stability and providing the possibility of clinically individualized treatments, with the emergence of new and more appropriate treatment options, new treatment-related adverse events are challenging and difficult for clinicians. Case presentation: An 80-year-old Chinese woman was diagnosed with stage IIIC ovarian high-grade serous adenocarcinoma (CT3cN1MX) with BRCA2 as the causative gene. She underwent three courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with nab-paclitaxel 400 mg and carboplatin 450 mg before surgery. Chest HRCT prior to chemotherapy demonstrated bilateral interstitial pneumonia. During chemotherapy, there were four episodes of dry cough, shortness of breath, dyspnea, and three episodes of bone marrow suppression. The symptoms became intermittent and progressively worse, and after three sessions of empirical cough and phlegm relief, oxygen inhalation, corticosteroids, anti-infectives, and leukopenia therapy, the symptoms became intermittent and progressively worse. The diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis came a week after the third round of chemotherapy. After a strong dose of corticosteroids and nintedanib anti-fibrosis therapy, the pulmonary symptoms abated, and intermediate tumor starvation was performed. The combination therapy was subsequently discontinued, and the patient experienced significant relief from pulmonary symptoms. Treatment response was positive following single-agent nab-paclitaxel 400 mg chemotherapy in combination with nintedanib 150 mg anti-fibrosis therapy. Conclusion: In this report, we describe a rare case of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis associated with the use of nab-paclitaxel and carboplatin in ovarian cancer. During treatment, it is necessary to maintain a high level of vigilance for patients with interstitial pneumonia and engage the attention of clinicians to improve medication safety. Early diagnosis and anti-fibrosis therapy can reverse lung damage.

Abstract
Purpose Paclitaxel (PTX) has been widely utilized for the treatment of breast cancer. However, drawbacks, such as poor aqueous solubility, rapid blood clearance and severe toxicity, greatly reduce its efficacy and safety. Herein, a novel self-developed curcumin derivative (CUD) was chosen as the carrier to develop a long-acting PTX nano-delivery system (PTX-Sln@CUD) in order to improve its pharmacokinetic behavior, anti-breast cancer efficacy and safety. Methods PTX-Sln@CUD was prepared using solid dispersion and ultrasonic technology. Relevant physical and chemical properties, including stability and release behavior, were characterized. The clearance of PTX-Sln@CUD in vivo was studied by pharmacokinetic experiments. The anti-tumor activity of PTX-Sln@CUD was investigated in vitro and in vivo. Hemolysis experiments, acute toxicity and cumulative toxicity studies were performed in mice to determine the safety of PTX-Sln@CUD. Results The average particle size, PDI, Zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency and loading efficiency of the PTX-Sln@CUD were 238.5 ± 4.79 nm, 0.225 ± 0.011, −33.8 ± 1.26 mV, 94.20 ± 0.49% and 10.98 ± 0.31%, respectively. PTX-Sln@CUD was found to be stable at room temperature for half a year. The cumulative release rates of PTX-Sln@CUD at 24, 96 and 168 h were 17.98 ± 2.60, 57.09 ± 2.32 and 72.66 ± 4.16%, respectively, which were adherent to zero-order kinetics. T1/2, MRT (0-t) and AUC (0-t) of the PTX-Sln@CUD group were 4.03-fold (44.293 h), 7.78-fold (38.444 h) and 6.18-fold (14.716 mg/L*h) of the PTX group, respectively. PTX-Sln@CUD group demonstrated stronger anti-breast cancer activity than the PTX group. Importantly, the PTX-Sln@CUD group was safer compared to the PTX group both in vitro and in vivo. Conclusion PTX-Sln@CUD was verified as promising therapeutic nanoparticles for breast cancer and provided a novel strategy to solve the problem of low efficacy and poor safety of clinical chemotherapy drugs.

Abstract
Background Ovarian carcinoma is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies, cisplatin resistance has become a key obstacle to the successful treatment of ovarian cancer because ovarian carcinomas are liable to drug resistance. To find an effective drug carrier is an urgent need. Methods Exosomes and loading-cisplatin exosomes are isolated using differential centrifugation and characterized by transmission, electron, nanoparticle tracking analysis. The anti-cancer effect of cisplatin was detected under the circumstance of delivered by exosomes or without exosomes in vitro and in vivo. Using proteome analysis and bioinformatics analysis, we further discovered the pathways in exosomes delivery process. We employed a con-focal immunofluorescence analysis, to evaluate the effects of milk-exosomes deliver the cisplatin via avoiding endosomal trapping. Results Exosomes and exosome-cisplatin were characterized including size, typical markers including CD63, Alix and Tsg101. The anti-cancer effect of cisplatin was enhanced when delivered by exosome in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistic studies shown that exosomes deliver cisplatin mostly via clathrin-independent endocytosis pathway. Exosomes deliver cisplatin into cisplatin-resistant cancer cells clathrin-independent endocytosis and enhance the anti-cancer effect through avoiding endosome trapping. Conclusion Cisplatin could be delivered by exosome through clathrin-independent endocytosis, and could evade the endosome trapping, diffused in the cytosol evenly. Our study clarifies the mechanism of exosomes mediated drug delivery against resistant cancer, indicates that exosomes can be a potential nano-carrier for cisplatin against cisplatin resistant ovarian cancer, which validates and enriches the theory of intracellular exosome trafficking.

Yang X, Fu C. The potential feasibility of nab-paclitaxel as the first-line chemotherapy for ovarian cancer: clinical development and future perspectives. Arch Gynecol Obstet 2022; 306:1417-1429. [PMID: 35165749 DOI: 10.1007/s00404-022-06425-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 01/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Optimal first-line chemotherapy regimens are crucial for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) treatment. Nab-paclitaxel has showed its considerable survival and low toxicity profiles in first-line treatment for three solid tumors and is recommended as a treatment for recurrent EOC. We focus on clinical efficacy and safety outcomes of nab-paclitaxel in current clinical studies of EOC treatment and aim to explore the potential feasibility of nab-paclitaxel as the first-line treatment for EOC. METHODS We searched for eligible studies up to January 2020 in Pubmed. Outcomes of interests included drug regimes, objective response rate (ORR), median progression free survival (PFS), median overall survival (OS) and main adverse events to determine feasibility of nab-paclitaxel. RESULTS This review included nine eligible studies. One study about nab-paclitaxel with carboplatin as first-line therapy in ten cases after hypersensitivity to paclitaxel had an ORR of 100%, median PFS of 16.7 months and median OS of 65.4 months. Evidence of nab-paclitaxel activity in platinum-sensitive EOC demonstrated an ORR of 64%, a median time to response of 1.3 months and PFS of 8.5 months. The ORR, median PFS and median OS range in patients with recurrent platinum-resistant EOC from 23%-72%, 4.0-8.5 months, 16.8-17.4 months, respectively. All studies demonstrated manageable toxicity profile in EOC patients. CONCLUSION Nab-paclitaxel presents potentials as the first-line chemotherapy for considerable survival and safety in EOC compared to conventional paclitaxel. However, there is no prospective trial in EOC so far. Therefore, more studies about nab-paclitaxel are needed.

[PMID: 35223497 PMCID: PMC8866444 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.815900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2021] [Accepted: 01/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Taxanes (paclitaxel and docetaxel) play an important role in the treatment of advanced sarcomas. Albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) is a new kind of taxane and has many advantages compared with paclitaxel and docetaxel. Nab-paclitaxel is currently approved for the treatment of advanced breast, non-small cell lung, and pancreatic cancers. However, the efficacy of nab-paclitaxel in sarcomas has not been reviewed. In this review, we first compare the similarities and differences among nab-paclitaxel, paclitaxel, and docetaxel and then summarize the efficacy of nab-paclitaxel against various non-sarcoma malignancies based on clinical trials with reported results. The efficacy and clinical research progress on nab-paclitaxel in sarcomas are also summarized. This review will serve as a good reference for the application of nab-paclitaxel in clinical sarcoma treatment studies and the design of clinical trials.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have tremendous therapeutic potential in the treatment of cancer as they increase drug delivery, attenuate drug toxicity, and protect drugs from rapid clearance. Since Doxil®, the first FDA-approved nanomedicine, several other cancer nanomedicines have been approved and have successfully increased the efficacy over their free drug counterparts. Although their mechanisms of action are well established, their effects towards our immune system, particularly in the tumor microenvironment (TME), still warrant further investigation. Herein, we review the interactions between an approved cancer nanomedicine with TME immunology. We also discuss the challenges that need to be addressed for the full clinical potential of ongoing cancer nanomedicines despite the encouraging preclinical data.
