概括
由非酒精性脂肪肝炎 (NASH) 引起的肝细胞癌可能对免疫治疗没有反应. 与NASH相关的T细胞损害了免疫监测,这表明需要根据HCC原因对患者进行分层.
科学领域:
- 免疫学
- 肝病学
- 癌症学
背景情况:
- 肝细胞癌 (HCC) 由病毒或非病毒原因引起,非酒精性脂肪肝炎 (NASH) 是一个重要的驱动因素.
- 免疫疗法对HCC治疗具有前景,但缺乏患者分层和最佳反应预测的生物标志物.
- 了解T细胞在NASH相关的HCC中的作用对于开发有效的治疗策略至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 研究NASH受影响的肝脏中CD8+T细胞的积累和激活以及它们在HCC发育中的作用.
- 在临床前模型中评估计划死亡-1 (PD1) 向免疫治疗的疗效.
- 确定非病毒性病因,特别是NASH对患者对PD1/ PDL1抑制剂的反应的影响.
主要方法:
- 在NASH受影响的肝脏和HCC模型中分析CD8+T细胞表型 (PD1+,CXCR6+,TOX+,TNF+).
- 在临床前NASH- HCC模型中给予抗PD1免疫疗法以评估瘤回归和免疫细胞扩张.
- 用PD1/ PDL1抑制剂治疗的晚期HCC患者的临床试验数据和队列研究的元分析.
主要成果:
- 在NASH受影响的肝脏中观察到CD8+PD1+ T细胞逐渐累积.
- 在NASH- HCC模型中,抗PD1治疗扩大了CD8+PD1+T细胞,但损害了瘤回归,增加了HCC的发病率和大小.
- 与其他HCC病因相比,非病毒性HCC,特别是NASH- HCC的抗PD1/ PDL1治疗的存活率降低.
结论:
- 在NASH中异常的CD8+T细胞激活有助于HCC的发展,并损害免疫监测,而不是加强它.
- 由于与NASH相关的异常T细胞反应,非病毒性HCC,特别是NASH- HCC可能对当前的免疫治疗反应较差.
- 根据病因因素对HCC患者进行分层是优化免疫疗法的必要条件,并改善患者的治疗结果.

Nursing Ethical Principles II

Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.

Tumor Immunotherapy
820
Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.

Targeted Cancer Therapies
8.1K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
