Abstract The tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) is associated with prognosis and immunotherapy response. Here we develop validate a CT-based radiomics score (RS) using 2272 gastric cancer (GC) patients to investigate the relationship between imaging biomarker neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in TIME, including its correlation response advanced GC. RS achieves an AUC of 0.795–0.861 predicting NLR TIME. Notably, indistinguishable from IHC-derived status DFS OS each cohort (HR range:...
Substantial progress has been made in using deep learning for cancer detection and diagnosis medical images. Yet, there is limited success on prediction of treatment response outcomes, which important implications personalized strategies. A significant hurdle clinical translation current data-driven models lack interpretability, often attributable to a disconnect from the underlying pathobiology. Here, we present biology-guided approach that enables simultaneous tumor immune stromal...
Background Only a subset of patients with gastric cancer experience long-term benefits from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Currently, there is deficiency in precise predictive biomarkers for ICI efficacy. The aim this study was to develop and validate pathomics-driven ensemble model predicting the response ICIs cancer, using H&E-stained whole slide images (WSI). Methods This multicenter retrospectively collected analyzed WSIs clinical data 584 cancer. An model, integrating four...
Abstract Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P)/S1P receptor (S1PR) system has been implicated in the pathological process of liver injury. This study was designed to evaluate effects S1P/S1PR on bone marrow-derived monocyte/macrophage (BMM) migration mouse models cholestatic injury and identify signaling pathway underlying this process. S1PR 1–3 expression BMM characterized by immunofluorescence, RT-PCR Western blot. Cell determined Boyden chambers. In vivo , chimera mice, which received BM...
Cryptotanshinone (CT), a purified compound initially isolated from the dried roots of Salvia militorrhiza. Bunge, exhibits cytotoxic antitumor effects on many tumors. We have shown that CT possesses dual capacities to concomitantly inhibit proliferation lung cancer cells and promote generation immunity. In this study, we investigated whether could be used treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using mouse Hepa1-6 model. inhibited hepatoma (Hepa1-6) in vitro by inducing apoptosis through...
Abstract Micro RNA s (mi s), as a novel class of small noncoding s, have been identified important transcriptional and posttranscriptional inhibitors gene expression. Ultrasound‐targeted microbubble destruction ( UTMD ) is noninvasive method for micro delivery. We aimed to investigate the effect miR‐133a on breast cancer treatment. It has reported that mi ‐133a involved in various cancers. was lowly expressed tissues cell lines MCF ‐7 MDA ‐ MB ‐231. The expression significantly upregulated...
Blood hemoglobin (Hb) is a common indicator for diagnosing anemia and often determined through laboratory analysis of venous samples. One alternative to laboratory-based methods the handheld HemoCue® Hb 201+ device, which requires finger prick wicking blood into pretreated cuvette analysis. An gravity method being investigated improved accuracy. Further, recent developments in noninvasive technologies could provide an accurate, rapid, safe, point-of-care option estimation while addressing...
Background Despite remarkable benefits have been provided by immune checkpoint inhibitors in gastric cancer (GC), predictions of treatment response and prognosis remain unsatisfactory, making identifying biomarkers desirable. The aim this study was to develop validate a CT imaging biomarker predict the immunotherapy patients with GC investigate associated infiltration patterns. Methods This retrospective included 294 who received anti-PD-1/PD-L1 from three independent medical centers between...
Lung cancer is currently the leading cause of cancer-related mortality with very limited effective therapy. Screening a variety traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) for their capacity to inhibit proliferation human lung A549 cells and induce in vitro maturation DCs led identification cryptotanshinone (CT), compound purified from TCM Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge. Here, CT was shown mouse Lewis carcinoma (LLC) by upregulating p53, downregulating cyclin B1 Cdc2, and, consequently, inducing G2/M...
Abstract We show that treatment with the FDA-approved anti-parasitic drug ivermectin induces immunogenic cancer cell death (ICD) and robust T infiltration into breast tumors. As an allosteric modulator of ATP/P2X4/P2X7 axis which operates in both immune cells, also selectively targets immunosuppressive populations including myeloid cells Tregs, resulting enhanced Teff/Tregs ratio. While neither agent alone showed efficacy vivo, combination therapy checkpoint inhibitor anti-PD1 antibody...
Abstract Chemoresistance remains the primary challenge of clinical treatment gastric cancer (GC), making biomarkers chemoresistance crucial for decision. Our previous study has reported that p21-actived kinase 6 (PAK6) is a prognostic factor selecting which patients with GC are resistant to 5-fluorouracil/oxaliplatin chemotherapy. However, mechanistic role PAK6 in chemosensitivity unknown. The present identified as an important modulator DNA damage response (DDR) and GC. Analysis specimens...
