概括
在患有癌症的儿童中,BRAF和MEK抑制剂可能会导致内分泌问题,如低血和葡萄糖失调. 患有中部无味糖尿病的患者在治疗期间患有低血的风险更高.
科学领域:
- 儿科瘤学 儿科瘤学
- 内分泌学 在内分泌学.
- 药理学 药理学是指药理学的学科.
背景情况:
- BRAF和MEK抑制剂向BRAF/MAPK/MEK通路,在各种小儿瘤中至关重要,如低度质瘤.
- 这些向治疗可以导致副作用,包括管病变和高血糖症,由于途径无处不在.
研究的目的:
- 用BRAF和MEK抑制剂治疗的儿童内分泌功能障碍的描述.
- 在这个队列中分析葡萄糖失调和低血糖的发生率.
主要方法:
- 对55名用达布拉费尼布和特拉美丁尼布治疗的患者的电子数据的回顾性审查 (2019年1月至2022年5月).
- 评估的结果包括葡萄糖调节失调,低血压 (<135 mmol/l) 和治疗期间血底值.
主要成果:
- 九名患者患有低血症;三名患者同时患有中部无味糖尿病.
- 在糖尿病无味症患者 (中位数134 mmol/l) 和没有糖尿病患者 (中位数137 mmol/l) 中观察到统计学上显著的较低血极值.
- 六名患者出现葡萄糖失调 (例如,胰岛素耐药性,2型糖尿病),四名患者在达布拉芬尼治疗期间患有下丘脑下垂体病变.
结论:
- 临床医生必须意识到BRAF和MEK抑制剂的潜在内分泌副作用.
- 在患有先前存在的中枢糖尿病无味症的患者中,需要特别警低血症.
- 建议在治疗前,治疗期间和治疗后对和葡萄糖水平进行监测.

Mitogens and the Cell Cycle
6.4K
Mitogens and their receptors play a crucial role in controlling the progression of the cell cycle. However, the loss of mitogenic control over cell division leads to tumor formation. Therefore, mitogens and mitogen receptors play an important role in cancer research. For instance, the epidermal growth factor (EGF) - a type of mitogen and its transmembrane receptor (EGFR), decides the fate of the cell's proliferation. When EGF binds to EGFR, a member of the ErbB family of tyrosine kinase...

MAPK Signaling Cascades
5.2K
Mitogen-activated protein kinase, or MAPK pathway, activates three sequential kinases to regulate cellular responses such as proliferation, differentiation, survival, and apoptosis. The canonical MAPK pathway starts with a mitogen or growth factor binding to an RTK. The activated RTKs stimulate Ras, which recruits Raf or MAP3 Kinase (MAPKKK), the first kinase of the MAPK signaling cascade. Raf further phosphorylates and activates MEK or MAP2 Kinases (MAPKK), which in turn phosphorylates MAP...

Targeted Cancer Therapies
7.5K
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.

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression
3.7K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
