Novel Small Molecules in IBD: Current State and Future Perspectives.

ABSTRACT: Biologicals have dominated the therapeutic scenery in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), namely ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), for the past 20 years. The development of tofacitinib was the starting point for an era of small molecules after the era of biologicals. These new agents may challenge the use of biological agents in the future. They share properties that appeal to both patients and physicians. Low production costs, a lack of immunogenicity, and ease of use are only some of their benefits. On the other hand, patients and their physicians must manage the potential side effects of small molecules such as JAK inhibitors or S1P1R modulators. Here, we present agents that have already entered the clinical routine and those that are still being investigated in clinical trials.

Transcriptional profiling of microglia; current state of the art and future perspectives

Project description:Microglia are the tissue macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS) and the first to respond to CNS dysfunction and disease. Gene expression profiling of microglia during development, under homeostatic conditions and in the diseased CNS provided insight in microglia functions and changes thereof. Single cell sequencing studies further contributed to our understanding of microglia heterogeneity in relation to age, sex and CNS disease. Recently, single nucleus gene expression profiling was performed on (frozen) CNS tissue. Transcriptomic profiling of CNS tissues by (single) nucleus RNA-sequencing has the advantage that it can be applied to archived and well stratified frozen specimens. Here, we give an overview of the significant advances recently made in microglia transcriptional profiling. In addition, we present matched cellular and nuclear microglia RNA-seq datasets we generated from mouse and human CNS tissue to compare cellular versus nuclear transcriptomes from fresh and frozen samples. We demonstrate that microglia can be similarly profiled with cell and nucleus profiling, and importantly also with nuclei isolated from frozen tissue. Nuclear microglia transcriptomes are a reliable proxy for cellular transcriptomes. Interestingly, lipopolysaccharide- (LPS)-induced changes in gene expression were even more pronounced in the nuclear transcriptome. In addition, heterogeneity in microglia observed in fresh samples is similarly detected in frozen nuclei of the same donor. Together, these results show that microglia nuclear RNAs obtained from frozen CNS tissue are a reliable proxy for microglia gene expression and cellular heterogeneity and may prove an effective strategy to study of the role of microglia in neuropathology.

Immunotherapy in prostate cancer: current state and future perspectives.

Project description:Metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (PCa) remains an incurable entity. In the era of immunotherapy, the complex PCa microenvironment poses a unique challenge to the successful application of this class of agents. However, in the last decade, a tremendous effort has been made to explore this field of therapeutics. In this review, the physiology of the cancer immunity cycle is highlighted in the context of the prostate tumor microenvironment, and the current evidence for use of various classes of immunotherapy agents including vaccines (dendritic cell based, viral vector based and DNA/mRNA based), immune checkpoint inhibitors, Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy, antibody-mediated radioimmunotherapy, antibody drug conjugates, and bispecific antibodies, is consolidated. Finally, the future directions for combinatorial approaches to combat PCa are discussed.

Immunotherapy for Glioblastoma: Current State, Challenges, and Future Perspectives.

Project description:Glioblastoma is the most lethal intracranial primary malignancy by no optimal treatment option. Cancer immunotherapy has achieved remarkable survival benefits against various advanced tumors, such as melanoma and non-small-cell lung cancer, thus triggering great interest as a new therapeutic strategy for glioblastoma. Moreover, the central nervous system has been rediscovered recently as a region for active immunosurveillance. There are vibrant investigations for successful glioblastoma immunotherapy despite the fact that initial clinical trial results are somewhat disappointing with unique challenges including T-cell dysfunction in the patients. This review will explore the potential of current immunotherapy modalities for glioblastoma treatment, especially focusing on major immune checkpoint inhibitors and the future strategies with novel targets and combo therapies. Immune-related adverse events and clinical challenges in glioblastoma immunotherapy are also summarized. Glioblastoma provides persistent difficulties for immunotherapy with a complex state of patients' immune dysfunction and a variety of constraints in drug delivery to the central nervous system. However, rational design of combinational regimens and new focuses on myeloid cells and novel targets to circumvent current limitations hold promise to advent truly viable immunotherapy for glioblastoma.

Proton therapy for prostate cancer: current state and future perspectives.

Project description:ObjectiveLocalized prostate cancer can be treated with several radiotherapeutic approaches. Proton therapy (PT) can precisely target tumors, thus sparing normal tissues and reducing side-effects without sacrificing cancer control. However, PT is a costly treatment compared with conventional photon radiotherapy, which may undermine its overall efficacy. In this review, we summarize current data on the dosimetric rationale, clinical benefits, and cost of PT for prostate cancer.MethodsAn extensive literature review of PT for prostate cancer was performed with emphasis on studies investigating dosimetric advantage, clinical outcomes, cost-effective strategies, and novel technology trends.ResultsPT is safe, and its efficacy is comparable to that of standard photon-based therapy or brachytherapy. Data on gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and sexual function toxicity profiles are conflicting; however, PT is associated with a low risk of second cancer and has no effects on testosterone levels. Regarding cost-effectiveness, PT is suboptimal, although evolving trends in radiation delivery and construction of PT centers may help reduce the cost.ConclusionPT has several advantages over conventional photon radiotherapy, and novel approaches may increase its efficacy and safety. Large prospective randomized trials comparing photon therapy with proton-based treatments are ongoing and may provide data on the differences in efficacy, toxicity profile, and quality of life between proton- and photon-based treatments for prostate cancer in the modern era.Advances in knowledgePT provides excellent physical advantages and has a superior dose profile compared with X-ray radiotherapy. Further evidence from clinical trials and research studies will clarify the role of PT in the treatment of prostate cancer, and facilitate the implementation of PT in a more accessible, affordable, efficient, and safe way.

Optimization of TMS target engagement: current state and future perspectives.

Project description:Neuromodulation is based on the principle that brain stimulation produces plastic changes in cerebral circuitry. Given the intersubject structural and functional variability, neuromodulation has a personalized effect in the brain. Moreover, because of cerebral dominance and interhemispheric functional and structural differences in the same individual, the characterization of specific brain circuitries involved is currently not feasible. This notion is extremely important for neuromodulation treatments applied in neuropsychiatry. Specifically, the efficacy of the neuromodulation treatments is critically dependent on the anatomical precision of the brain target and the circuitry which has been affected by the TMS intervention. Furthermore, for a complete understanding of how the brain behaves under stimulation, the characterization of its neurophysiological response is necessary as well. This goal can be achieved with TMS-EEG guided by current multimodal neuroimaging techniques in real time, namely MRI-based anatomical segmentation and diffusion MRI-based tractographic analysis.

Small molecules in targeted cancer therapy: advances, challenges, and future perspectives.

Project description:Due to the advantages in efficacy and safety compared with traditional chemotherapy drugs, targeted therapeutic drugs have become mainstream cancer treatments. Since the first tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib was approved to enter the market by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2001, an increasing number of small-molecule targeted drugs have been developed for the treatment of malignancies. By December 2020, 89 small-molecule targeted antitumor drugs have been approved by the US FDA and the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China. Despite great progress, small-molecule targeted anti-cancer drugs still face many challenges, such as a low response rate and drug resistance. To better promote the development of targeted anti-cancer drugs, we conducted a comprehensive review of small-molecule targeted anti-cancer drugs according to the target classification. We present all the approved drugs as well as important drug candidates in clinical trials for each target, discuss the current challenges, and provide insights and perspectives for the research and development of anti-cancer drugs.

NTRK-fusions in pediatric thyroid tumors: Current state and future perspectives.

Project description:Pediatric and adult papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) share many similar oncogenic drivers, but differ in the pathological features and outcomes of the disease. The most frequent genetic alterations in adult PTCs are mutually exclusive point mutations in BRAF or the RAS family. In pediatric PTC, fusion oncogenes involving chromosomal translocations in tyrosine kinase (TK) receptors, most commonly RET and NTRK, are the most common genetic alterations observed. This review of the literature describes the current state of translational research in pediatric NTRK-driven thyroid cancer and highlights opportunities to improve our understanding and current models of pediatric PTC.

The current state and future perspectives of cannabinoids in cancer biology.

Project description:To date, cannabinoids have been allowed in the palliative medicine due to their analgesic and antiemetic effects, but increasing number of preclinical studies indicates their anticancer properties. Cannabinoids exhibit their action by a modulation of the signaling pathways crucial in the control of cell proliferation and survival. Many in vitro and in vivo experiments have shown that cannabinoids inhibit proliferation of cancer cells, stimulate autophagy and apoptosis, and have also a potential to inhibit angiogenesis and metastasis. In this review, we present an actual state of knowledge regarding molecular mechanisms of cannabinoids' anticancer action, but we discuss also aspects that are still not fully understood such as the role of the endocannabinoid system in a carcinogenesis, the impact of cannabinoids on the immune system in the context of cancer development, or the cases of a stimulation of cancer cells' proliferation by cannabinoids. The review includes also a summary of currently ongoing clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of cannabinoids as anticancer agents.
