肿瘤相关成纤维细胞与成纤维细胞活化蛋白在肿瘤免疫治疗中的研究进展

除了依赖于肿瘤细胞自身的恶性增殖以外,肿瘤的发生和发展还依赖于肿瘤细胞与肿瘤间质微环境的相互作用。肿瘤间质中存在的肿瘤相关成纤维细胞（tumor-associatedfibroblasts,TAF）能够诱导免疫抑制,是肿瘤免疫治疗中的一大障碍。在TAF上存在一种成纤维细胞激活蛋白（fibroblast activationprotein,FAP）,它在细胞表面发挥作用,是一种膜丝氨酸肽酶,是Ⅱ型丝氨酸蛋白酶家族成员之一,具有二肽肽酶及胶原酶活性,在肿瘤微环境中表达FAP的肿瘤相关成纤维细胞是最早被鉴定的一种肿瘤间质细胞类型。它由肿瘤问质中的成纤维细胞与癌细胞相互作用而活化,是肿瘤微环境中最主要的宿主细胞,具有促进肿瘤细胞生长、侵袭及免疫抑制的作用,而且基因组稳定不易耐药,有望成为肿瘤免疫治疗的新靶标。就靶向TAF和FAP在肿瘤免疫治疗中的研究做一综述,为基于肿瘤间质微环境的免疫治疗提供参考。     

精准医疗与肿瘤免疫治疗伴随诊断

以免疫检查点阻断疗法为代表的肿瘤免疫治疗在肿瘤临床治疗中取得了突破性进展,然而肿瘤免疫治疗伴随诊断仍存在诸多困难。在当前精准医疗大发展的背景下,创新性的技术和方法不断应用到肿瘤免疫治疗的伴随诊断中,对于提高肿瘤免疫治疗的效率具有重要意义。现有研究发现肿瘤微环境PD-L1的表达检测、肿瘤突变和肿瘤变异新抗原分析、肿瘤微环境免疫相关基因表达谱分析等方法与肿瘤免疫治疗效果具有显著相关性,然而其临床应用仍具有一定局限性,导致精准的肿瘤免疫治疗伴随诊断仍面临诸多挑战。主要介绍了免疫检查点阻断治疗相关伴随诊断领域研究进展,提出肿瘤免疫治疗伴随诊断需要开放式思维,积极引入新技术新方法,拓展多元化分子标识,从而推动肿瘤免疫治疗实现个体化精准应用。     

调节性B细胞在肿瘤免疫治疗中的作用

调节性B细胞(regulatory B cell, Breg)是一类具有免疫抑制功能的B细胞亚群,在维持机体免疫平衡中发挥重要作用,主要通过分泌抗炎性细胞因子发挥免疫抑制功能。Breg在炎症、自身免疫性疾病及肿瘤等疾病中发挥重要作用,并逐渐成为肿瘤免疫治疗研究的新焦点。本文介绍了肿瘤微环境中Breg的表型及其作用,综述了近年来以Breg为靶点的肿瘤免疫治疗研究进展,以期为利用Breg提高肿瘤免疫治疗效果提供新思路。

肿瘤免疫治疗中纳米制剂的研究进展

恶性肿瘤作为威胁人类健康的重大疾病,其治疗方法也一直是医学界关注的重点。近年来,肿瘤免疫治疗成为一种新型的治疗模式,然而其临床疗效由于肿瘤相关的免疫抑制及逃逸大幅减弱。纳米制剂给药系统可以提高免疫治疗效果,改变肿瘤微环境,为肿瘤治疗提供了有效的策略。重点介绍了几种基于纳米制剂的抗肿瘤免疫治疗方法。     

肠道菌群与肿瘤的免疫治疗

肠道菌群是居住于人体肠道内的正常微生物群体。肠道菌群通常与宿主成共生关系,并与宿主的消化、代谢、免疫调节等生理活动息息相关。靶向作用于免疫检查点的免疫检查点抑制剂,作为肿瘤免疫治疗中的新星,有着逆转肿瘤免疫微环境的作用,为肿瘤治疗提供了新的希望。然而研究发现,有部分人群对免疫检查点抑制剂的治疗无响应,而导致其无响应的最主要的原因是肠道菌群的异常。因此,本文对肠道菌群与肿瘤免疫治疗特别是与免疫检查点抑制剂的研究现状进行综述。     

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

采用原位分子杂交方法检测HCV RNA及HBV X基因;采用免疫组织化学方法研究HCV核心抗原,非结构区C33c抗原及HBxAg在肝细胞肝癌中的定位及分布.结果表明(1)HCV RNA、HBV X基因在肝细胞肝癌组织检出率分别为40%(55/136)和82%(112/136).HCV RNA定位于癌细胞的胞浆内,阳性细胞呈散在、灶状及弥漫分布三种形式;HBV X基因在肝癌细胞中的分布呈胞浆型、核型及核浆型,阳性细胞也呈上述三种分布形式;(2)HCV C33c抗原、核心抗原在肝细胞肝癌中的阳性率为81%(133/164)及86%(141/164).C33c抗原定位于癌细胞及肝细胞的胞浆内;核心抗原既定位于癌细胞核中,又可定位于胞浆中.C33c抗原阳性细胞以灶状分布为主;而核心抗原阳性细     

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
