肺干细胞和肺癌干细胞研究进展

近年来成体干细胞研究进展迅速。肺干细胞和肺癌干细胞在表面标志、分离方法和功能研究等方面也取得了一定进展。在肺组织中,肺干细胞维持着肺上皮的更新和稳定,肺脏不同解剖结构存在不同的干细胞,主要的肺干细胞有气管—支气管干细胞、细支气管干细胞、细支气管肺泡干细胞和肺泡干细胞等,不同干细胞特异表面标志也不同。根据肿瘤干细胞理论,目前研究认为肺癌的发生与肺癌干细胞有关,肺癌干细胞来源于其对应肺干细胞的恶性转化。肺癌干细胞特异标志研究主要集中在侧群细胞、CD133和醛脱氢酶等。与其他成体干细胞相似,肺癌干细胞维持自我更新以及分化能力的信号通路主要有Wnt、Hedgehog和Notch通路等。肺癌干细胞与肺癌的发生、发展、转移、治疗反应及预后关系,也取得了一定的进展。该文对肺干细胞和肺癌干细胞研究进展作简要综述。

Radiomics nomograms of tumors and peritumoral regions for the preoperative prediction of spread through air spaces in lung adenocarcinoma

To evaluate the clinical features and radiomics nomograms of tumors and peritumoral regions for the preoperative prediction of the presence of spread through air spaces (STAS) in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. A total of 107 STAS-positive lung adenocarcinomas were selected and matched to 105 STAS-negative lung adenocarcinomas. Thin-slice CT imaging annotation and region of interest (ROI) segmentation were performed with semi-automatic in-house software. Radiomics features were extracted from all nodules and incremental distances of 5, 10, and 15 mm outside the lesion segmentation. A radiomics nomogram was established with multivariable logistic regression based on clinical and radiomics features. The maximum diameter of the solid component and mediastinal lymphadenectasis were selected as independent predictors of STAS. The radiomics nomogram of lung nodules showed especially good prediction in the training set [area under the curve (AUC), 0.98; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.97–1.00] and test set (AUC, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.97–1.00). The radiomics nomogram of peritumoral regions also showed good prediction, but the fitting degrees of the calibration curves were not good. Our study may provide guidance for surgical methods in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

乳腺浸润性微乳头状癌的研究现状

乳腺浸润性微乳头状癌(IMPC)是乳腺浸润性癌的一种特殊类型,其发生率低,临床表现及影像学特征与普通的乳腺浸润性导管癌没有显著区别。这种病理类型可与普通浸润性导管癌混合出现,也可表现为单纯的浸润性微乳头状癌。但浸润性微乳头状癌具有独特的组织学形态及分子结构,决定了其病理学分级较高、易于发生淋巴结转移的侵袭性生物学行为特点。多数浸润性微乳头状癌在影像学上表现为边缘不清的不规则肿块影,常伴有微小钙化。其特征性病理形态为细胞膜上皮抗原(EMA)在肿瘤细胞簇外周的细胞和基质中腔隙边缘特异性染色,同时显微镜下瘤细胞表面发现微绒毛结构,说明了瘤细胞簇周围的空隙样结构实际上是管状腔隙,瘤细胞呈"极向倒转"方式排列。IMPC具有高度淋巴血管浸润倾向,局部复发率高,是一种预后较差的类型。本文对近年来关于乳腺浸润性微乳头状癌的研究进展进行了综述。     

射频消融术治疗肝癌的研究新进展

肝癌为我国常见的恶性肿瘤之一。到目前为止,肝癌的治疗方法中,手术治疗仍为肝癌患者能获得较好生存率的首选方法。但由于很多患者发现肝癌时,晚期患者较多,很多肝功能较差剩余肝组织不能代偿,或全身情况较差,已不适合手术治疗。基于此种情况,现很多非手术治疗方法广泛应用于临床。而射频消融术治疗肝癌,作为一种非手术治疗方法,有着微创,疗效好,并发症少,安全,可反复应用等优点,近年来已成为治疗肝癌的一种常用手段。射频消融术治疗肝癌可分为开腹射频,腔镜下射频,影像学引导下经皮射频等。治疗方式可单独射频治疗,也可与介入治疗,酒精注射,静脉全身化疗等联合应用。现从射频消融术治疗肝癌的原理,适应症,方式,并发症,及预后几方面回顾总结该技术。

NK Cell Phenotypic Modulation in Lung Cancer Environment

Background

Nature killer (NK) cells play an important role in anti-tumor immunotherapy. But it indicated that tumor cells impacted possibly on NK cell normal functions through some molecules mechanisms in tumor microenvironment.

Materials and methods

Our study analyzed the change about NK cells surface markers (NK cells receptors) through immunofluorescence, flow cytometry and real-time PCR, the killed function from mouse spleen NK cell and human high/low lung cancer cell line by co-culture. Furthermore we certificated the above result on the lung cancer model of SCID mouse.

Results

We showed that the infiltration of NK cells in tumor periphery was related with lung cancer patients'' prognosis. And the number of NK cell infiltrating in lung cancer tissue is closely related to the pathological types, size of the primary cancer, smoking history and prognosis of the patients with lung cancer. The expression of NK cells inhibitor receptors increased remarkably in tumor micro-environment, in opposite, the expression of NK cells activated receptors decrease magnificently.

Conclusions

The survival time of lung cancer patient was positively related to NK cell infiltration degree in lung cancer. Thus, the down-regulation of NKG2D, Ly49I and the up-regulation of NKG2A may indicate immune tolerance mechanism and facilitate metastasis in tumor environment. Our research will offer more theory for clinical strategy about tumor immunotherapy.     

CD40 expression on human lung cancer correlates with metastatic spread

 Purpose: The poor prognosis associated with lung cancer is related to the high incidence of regional and distant metastasis. There is a crucial need to identify parameters that can predict a tendancy to metastatic spread to allow better prognostic evaluation and therapeutic approach. Methods: Using flow cytometry we evaluated 18 human lung cancer cell lines for the expression of different surface markers on lung cancers suggested to be possible prognostic parameters, including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), Fas and CD40. Results: No correlation was found between tumor prognosis and EGFR, ICAM-1 or Fas. However, a statistically significant correlation was found between the surface expression of CD40 and the metastatic spread of the tumor. In this study, 14 of 18 lung cancer cell lines (78%) expressed CD40 on their surface. All of the 4 tumors that were CD40-negative, were stage I tumors, without any evidence of regional or distant metastasis. Of the 14 tumors that expressed CD40, all but 1 (93%) had either nodal or systemic metastasis at the time of diagnosis. Patients whose tumors were CD40-negative showed a significantly better N stage, overall stage at presentation and survival than those patients with CD40-positive patients. No significant differences between the two groups were observed in tumor size, gender, age, histology, differentiation or preoperative therapy. Conclusions: These results suggest that CD40 expression on lung cancer may play a role in metastatic spread, and also may serve as a prognostic marker and an indicator of advanced disease.

Sputum analysis: Non‐invasive early lung cancer detection

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer‐related deaths over the world, characterized by a very high mortality rate. Molecular technique development tries to focus on early detection of cancers by studying molecular alterations that characterize cancer cells. Worldwide lung cancer research has focused on an ever‐increasing number of molecular elements of carcinogenesis at genetic, epigenetic and protein levels. The non‐invasiveness is the characteristic that all clinical trials on cancer detection should have. Abnormal chest imaging and/or non‐specific symptoms are initial signals of lung cancer that appear in an advanced stage of disease. This fact represents the cause of the low 5‐year survival rate: over 90% of patients dying within 5 years of diagnosis. Since smokers have higher quantity of sputum containing exfoliated cells from the bronchial tree, and the sputum represents the most easily accessible biological fluid and its collection is non‐invasive, analysis of this sample represents a good area of research in early lung cancer diagnosis. Continued cigarette smoking is the cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), with an estimated attributable risk factor exceeding 80% in smoking affected individuals. Lung cancer is found in 40–70% of patients with COPD, particularly in severe disease, and it is a common cause of death in these patients. A large prospective trial of almost half a million non‐smokers showed as lung cancer is also common in patients with COPD who have never smoked. This review describes issues related to early lung cancer screening using non‐invasive methods. J. Cell. Physiol. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
