PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 130:155684. [PMID: 38788391 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Edible and medicinal herbs1 (EMHs) refer to a class of substances with dual attribution of food and medicine. These substances are traditionally used as food and also listed in many international pharmacopoeias, including the European Pharmacopoeia, the United States Pharmacopoeia, and the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Some classical formulas that are widely used in traditional Chinese medicine include a series of EMHs, which have been shown to be effective with obvious characteristics and advantages. Notably, these EMHs and Chinese classical prescriptions2 (CCPs) have also attracted attention in international herbal medicine research because of their low toxicity and high efficiency as well as the rich body of experience for their long-term clinical use. PURPOSE Our purpose is to explore the potential therapeutic effect of EMHs with immune-inflammatory modulation for the study of modern cancer drugs. STUDY DESIGN In the present study, we present a detailed account of some EMHs used in CCPs that have shown considerable research potential in studies exploring modern drugs with immune-inflammatory modulation. METHODS Approximately 500 publications in the past 30 years were collected from PubMed, Web of Science and ScienceDirect using the keywords, such as natural products, edible and medicinal herbs, Chinese medicine, classical prescription, immune-inflammatory, tumor microenvironment and some related synonyms. The active ingredients instead of herbal extracts or botanical mixtures were focused on and the research conducted over the past decade were discussed emphatically and analyzed comprehensively. RESULTS More than ten natural products derived from EMHs used in CCPs are discussed and their immune-inflammatory modulation activities, including enhancing antitumor immunity, regulating inflammatory signaling pathways, lowering the proportion of immunosuppressive cells, inhibiting the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, immunosuppressive factors, and inflammatory mediators, are summarized. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate the immune-inflammatory modulating role of those EMHs used in CCPs and provide new ideas for cancer treatment in clinical settings.

Reporting of tumor lysis syndrome with targeted therapy for hepatic cancer in the FDA adverse events reporting system. Expert Opin Drug Saf 2024:1-7.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic cancer is a common cancer in clinical practice. Current drug therapies for this condition include targeted therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is the most serious complication of oncology treatment. According to the literature, several cases reported TLS occurred with targeted therapies for hepatic cancer. METHODS Reporting odds ratio and information component were used to measure the disproportionate signals for TLS associated with targeted therapies, using data from the FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). A stepwise sensitivity analysis was conducted to test the robustness of signals. Time-to-onset analysis was used to describe the latency of TLS events associated with targeted therapies. The Bradford Hill criteria were used to perform a global assessment of the evidence. RESULTS Sorafenib, lenvatinib, cabozantinib, and bevacizumab showed higher disproportionate signals for TLS than chemotherapy. The median number of days to TLS occurrence after drug therapy was 5.5, 6.5, and 6.5 days for sorafenib, lenvatinib, and bevacizumab, respectively. CONCLUSIONS There is a significant association between tumor lysis syndrome and targeted therapies for hepatic carcinoma, with particularly strong signals for sorafenib and lenvatinib. Clinicians should be aware of the potential for tumor lysis syndrome in targeted therapies for hepatic carcinoma.

[PMID: 37907575 PMCID: PMC10618261 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-023-01698-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Rituximab has been incorporated into the standard treatment regimen for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and induces the death of tumor cells via complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Unfortunately, the resistance of DLBCL cells to Rituximab limits its clinical usefulness. It remains unclear whether the complement system is related to Rituximab resistance in DLBCL. A Rituximab-resistant DLBCL cell line (Farage/R) was generated under the stress of Rituximab. Constituent proteins of the complement system in wild-type Farage cells (Farage/S) and Farage/R cells were analyzed by qPCR, western blotting, and immunofluorescence. In vitro and in vivo knockdown and overexpression studies confirmed that the complement 1Q subcomponent A chain (C1qA) was a regulator of Rituximab resistance. Finally, the mechanism by which C1qA is regulated by m6A methylation was explored. The reader and writer were identified by pull-down studies and RIP-qPCR. Activity of the complement system in Farage/R cells was suppressed. C1qA expression was reduced in Farage/R cells due to post-transcriptional regulation. Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo results showed that C1qA knockdown in Farage/S cells decreased their sensitivity to Rituximab, and C1qA overexpression in Farage/R cells attenuated the Rituximab resistance of those cells. Moreover, METTL3 and YTHDF2 were proven to be the reader and writer for m6A methylation of C1qA, respectively. Knockdown of METTL3 or YTHDF2 in Farage/R cells up-regulated C1qA expression and reduced their resistance to Rituximab. In summary, the aberrant downregulation of C1qA was related to Rituximab resistance in DLBCL cells, and C1qA was found to be regulated by METTL3- and YTHDF2-mediated m6A methylation. Enhancing the response of the complement system via regulation of C1qA might be an effective strategy for inhibiting Rituximab resistance in DLBCL.

Tumor Lysis Syndrome with CD20 Monoclonal Antibodies for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: Signals from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System. Clin Drug Investig 2023; 43:773-783. [PMID: 37755660 DOI: 10.1007/s40261-023-01308-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Although tumor lysis syndrome was reported with obinutuzumab and rituximab, the association with CD20 monoclonal antibodies for chronic lymphocytic leukemia is unclear. METHODS A disproportionality analysis was conducted to investigate the link between CD20 monoclonal antibodies and tumor lysis syndrome by accounting for known confounders and comparing with other anticancer drugs, using data from the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System. Reporting odds ratios and the information component were calculated as disproportionality measures. A stepwise sensitivity analysis was conducted to test the robustness of disproportionality signals. Bradford Hill criteria were adopted to globally assess the potential causal relationship. RESULTS From 2004 to 2022, 197, 368, 41, and 14 tumor lysis syndrome reports were detected for obinutuzumab, rituximab, ofatumumab, and alemtuzumab (CD52 monoclonal antibody), respectively. Disproportionality signals were found for the above four monoclonal antibodies when compared with other anticancer drugs. Sensitivity analyses confirmed robust disproportionality signals for obinutuzumab, rituximab, and ofatumumab. The median onset time was 4.5, 1.5, and 2.5 days for rituximab, obinutuzumab, and ofatumumab, respectively. A potential causal relationship was fulfilled by assessing Bradford Hill criteria. CONCLUSIONS This pharmacovigilance study on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System detected a plausible association between CD20 monoclonal antibodies (but not CD52) and tumor lysis syndrome by assessing the adapted Bradford Hill criteria. Urgent clarification of drug- and patient-related risk factors is needed through large comparative population-based studies.
