Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence of primary liver cancer (PLC) has experienced a significant global increase, primarily attributed to the rise in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Unfortunately, HCC is often diagnosed in advanced stages, leaving patients with limited treatment options. Therefore, transformation therapy is a crucial approach for long-term survival and radical resection in patients with advanced HCC. Conversion therapy has demonstrated promise in the treatment of advanced HCC. When integrated with the FOLFOX regimen, hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) can significantly improve tumor response efficiency, leading to high conversion and resection rates. AREAS COVERED We reviewed landmark trials of HAIC in combination with different drugs or means for the treatment of HCC to determine the clinical value of HAIC-centric translational therapies in HCC treatment. Furthermore, we specifically emphasize the advantages associated with employing FOLFOX-HAIC in the treatment of advanced HCC. EXPERT OPINION The combination of HAIC with the FOLFOX regimen can help prevent the low intratumoral accumulation and high adverse reaction rate caused by the FOLFOX alone, holding significant potential in the comprehensive treatment of future HCC patients.

Comparison of cardiotoxicity induced by alectinib, apatinib, lenvatinib and anlotinib in zebrafish embryos. Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol 2024; 278:109834. [PMID: 38218563 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpc.2024.109834] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/15/2024]
Abstract
Four tyrosine kinase inhibitors, alectinib, apatinib, lenvatinib and anlotinib, have been shown to be effective in the treatment of clinical tumors, but their cardiac risks have also raised concerns. In this study, zebrafish embryos at 6 h post fertilization (hpf) were exposed to the four drugs at concentrations of 0.05-0.2 mg/L until 72 hpf, and then the development of these embryos was quantified, including heart rate, body length, yolk sac area, pericardial area, distance between venous sinus and balloon arteriosus (SV-BA), separation of cardiac myocytes and endocardium, gene expression, vascular development and oxidative stress. At the same exposure concentrations, alectinib and apatinib had little effect on the cardiac development of zebrafish embryos, while lenvatinib and anlotinib could induce significant cardiotoxicity and developmental toxicity, including shortened of body length, delayed absorption of yolk sac, pericardial edema, prolonged SV-BA distance, separation of cardiomyocytes and endocardial cells, and downregulation of key genes for heart development. Heart rate decreased in all four drug treatment groups. In terms of vascular development, alectinib and apatinib did not inhibit the growth of embryonic intersegmental vessels (ISVs) and retinal vessels, while lenvatinib and anlotinib caused serious vascular toxicity, and the inhibition of anlotinib in vascular development was more obvious. Besides, the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the lenvatinib and anlotinib treatment groups was significantly increased. Our results provide reference for comparing the cardiotoxicity of the four drugs.

Direct interaction of platelet with tumor cell aggravates hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis by activating TLR4/ADAM10/CX3CL1 axis. Cancer Lett 2024; 585:216674. [PMID: 38280480 DOI: 10.1016/j.canlet.2024.216674] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 01/29/2024]
Abstract
Metastasis is the main culprit of cancer-related death and account for the poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. Although platelets have been shown to accelerate tumor cell metastasis, the exact mechanism remained to be fully understood. Here, we found that high blood platelet counts and increased tumor tissue ADAM10 expression indicated the poor prognosis of HCC patients. Meanwhile, blood platelet count has positive correlation with tumor tissue ADAM10 expression. In vitro, we revealed that platelet increased ADAM10 expression in tumor cell through TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. ADAM10 catalyzed the shedding of CX3CL1 which bound to CX3CR1 receptor, followed by inducing epithelial to mesenchymal transition and activating RhoA signaling in cancer cells. Moreover, knockdown HCC cell TLR4 (Tlr4) or inhibition of ADAM10 prevented platelet-increased tumor cell migration, invasion and endothelial permeability. In vivo, we further verified in mice lung metastatic model that platelet accelerated tumor metastasis via cancer cell TLR4/ADAM10/CX3CL1 axis. Overall, our study provides new insights into the underlying mechanism of platelet-induced HCC metastasis. Therefore, targeting the TLR4/ADAM10/CX3CL1 axis in cancer cells hold promise for the inhibition of platelet-promoted lung metastasis of HCC.
