Abstract
The traditional immunotherapy is limited on relapsed/refractory metastatic ovarian cancer because tumors cause immunosuppression. Since new therapeutic strategies to improve clinical outcomes for patients with relapsed/refractory metastatic ovarian carcinoma are needed, the aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of haploidentical peripheral blood stem cells (haplo-PBSCs) adoptive treatment on relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer. Thirteen patients with advanced stage of ovarian cancer and refractory history after surgery and chemotherapy were treated with interleukin-2 activated haplo-PBSCs donated by their parents or children. Clinical outcomes including therapeutic response by measuring tumor size changes using CT scanning, CA-125 levels and survival times were evaluated. T and NK cell population in patients before and after treatment was detected by flow cytometry analysis. The median follow-up time after haplo-PBSCs adoptive treatment was 14 months. At the time of the last follow-up, the median overall survival after haplo-PBSCs adoptive treatment was 9.1 months. Ten patients (76.9%) achieved a relief of symptoms, including abdominal distention, ache, fatigue, and poor appetite. During the first 2 months after treatment, CA125 levels decreased in 10 patients (76.9%). Five patients (38.5%) had a stable disease and 1 patient (8%) had partial response. T cell population (CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+) and CD3-CD16+CD56+ NK cells were increased in patients after haplo-PBSCs adoptive treatment. Our study reveals that haplo-PBSCs adoptive treatment is associated with an anti-tumor effect and increasing immune responses in patients with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer.

(E)-2,4-Bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butenal enhanced TRAIL-induced apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells through downregulation of NF-κB/STAT3 pathway. Arch Pharm Res 2014; 37:652-61.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is a cancerous growth arising from the ovary and with poor prognosis that usually have resistant to all currently available treatments. Whether (E)-2,4-bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butenal (butenal) synthesized by Maillard reaction from fructose-tyrosine, has potential therapeutic activity against human ovarian cancer was investigated using two ovarian cancer cell lines (PA-1, SK-OV-3). We found that butenal could inhibit NF-κB/STAT3 activity, thereby inducing apoptotic cell death of ovarian cancer cells. We treated with several concentration of butenal each cell line differently (PA-1; 5, 10 and 15 μg/ml, SK-OV-3; 10, 20 and 30 μg/ml). First, ovarian cancer cell lines exhibited constitutively active NF-κB, and treatment with butenal abolished this activation as indicated by DNA binding activity. Second, butenal suppressed activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 as indicated by decreased phosphorylation and inhibition of Janus kinase-2 phosphorylation. Third, butenal induced expression of pro-apoptotic proteins such as proteolytic cleavage of PARP, Bax and activation of caspase-3, -8 and -9. Lastly, combination of butenal and TRAIL causes enhanced induction of apoptosis. Overall, our results indicate that butenal mediates its anti-proliferative and apoptotic effects through activation of multiple cell signaling pathways and enhances the TRAIL-induced apoptosis. These data suggested that butenal may be a potential anti-cancer agent in ovarian cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) profile in breast cancer patients receiving high-dose of chemotherapy and peripheral blood stem-cells (PBSC) transplantation. METHODS Data from 41 subjects receiving cyclophosphamide, thiotepa and carboplatin were used to develop the ANC model consisting of a drug-sensitive progenitor cell compartment, linked to the peripheral blood compartment, through three transition compartments. PBSC were incorporated into the first transit compartment following a zero-order process, k(in), and the rebound effect was explained by a feedback mechanism. A 'kinetics of drug action' model was used to quantify the HDC effect on the progenitor cells according to a linear function, with a slope (alpha). RESULTS The typical of the ANC at baseline (Circ(0)), mean transit time (MTT), feedback parameter (gamma), k(in) and alpha were estimated to be 5,610 x 10(6)/L, 3.25 days, 0.145, 0.954 cell/kg/day and 2.50 h/U, respectively. rHuG-CSF shortens the MTT by 92% and increases the mitotic activity by 120%. Bootstrap analysis, visual predictive check and numerical predictive checks evidenced accurate prediction of the ANC nadir, time to ANC nadir and time to grade 4 neutropenia recovery. CONCLUSION The time course of neutropenia following high-dose of chemotherapy and PBSC transplantation was accurately predicted. Higher amount of CD34+ cells in the PBSC transplantation and earlier administration rHuG-CSF were associated with faster haematological recovery.
