Sparing lung tissue with virtual block method in VMAT planning for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer

This study aimed to exploit a new virtual block method to spare normal lung tissue in VMAT planning for patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer(LA-NSCLC).The previous method was used to manually restrict the angle of the beam passing through,which ignored the location and shape of large targets that varied between different slices and did not block the beamlets precisely.Unlike the previous method,this new virtual block method was used to block the beamlets when necessary by closing the multi-leaf collimator(MLC)at prerequisite angles.The algorithm for closing the MLC depended on the thickness of the beamlets passing through the lungs and avoided only the entrance radiation beamlet.Moreover,this block can be automatically contoured.A retrospective study was performed to compare the VMAT plans with and without the virtual block method for 17 LANSCLC patients,named the block plan(B-plan)/non-block plan(N-plan).All cases were selected in this study because of the large tumor size and unmet dose constraints of the lungs.In addition to the maximum dose constraint for the virtual block,B-plans adopted identical optimization parameters to N-plans for each patient.These two types of plans were compared in terms of dosimetric indices and plan scores.The results were statistically analyzed using the Wilcoxon nonparametric signed-rank test.B-plans have advantages in the following dosimetric metrics that have statistical significance(p<0.05):(1)lower V_(5)/V_(10)/D_(mean)/normal tissue complication probability(NTCP)of total lungs;(2)reductions in V_(5)/V_(10)for the contralateral lung;(3)decrease in Dmean/V_(40)of the heart;(4)decrease in esophagus V_(40);(5)reductions in Dmean,V_(5)/V_(10) of normal tissue.B-plans(82.51±7.07)achieved higher-quality scores than N-plans(80.74±7.22).The new virtual block spared the lungs as well as other normal structures in VMAT planning for LA-NSCLC.Thus,the block method may decrease the risk of radiation-related toxicity in patients.

INFLUENCE OF ZINC，MANGANESE AND SELENIUM ONSUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE ACTIVITY IN LUNGCANCER TISSUE AND CELL IN CULTURE

In this experiment,the cancer tissues and cells,Which were derived from Lewis lung cancer and A549 lung Cancer cell line,were respectively divided into four groups and zinc, manganese and selenium were respectively added to the medium for 24 hours. The superoxide dismutase activity in the tissues and the cells was estimated. It was found that the SOD activity was enhanced by zinc and manganese and the effect of zinc on SOD activity was superior to that of manganese. We supposed that the enhance of the SOD activity was relative to the activation of the SOD apoenzymes. This experimental result indicated that the inhibitory effect of zinc and manganese on carcinogenesis was achieved by SOD and the elements might be considered a SOD activator.

DETECTING EXPRESSION OF MRP-1/CD9 mRNA IN LUNG CANCERS USING TISSUE MICROARRAYS AND FLUORESCENCE IN SITU HYBRIDIZATION METHODS

Objective： The aim of this study was to investigate the MRP-1/CD9mRNA expression in lung cancer and normal lung tissues and the relationship between its expression and pathologic grades, clinical stages, metastasis and prognosis. Methods： To observe MRP-1/C9mRNA expression, tissue microarray （TMA） containing 54 lung cancers and 10 normal lung tissues was prepared and Fluorescence in situ hybridization was used. Results： The positive rate of MRP-1/CD9 expression was 48.1% in lung cancer, lower than that of normal lung tissues. The statistical difference was significant （P〈0.05）. Its protein expression had no relationship with the patients＇ ages, sex and the macroscopic type of tumor, but had relationships with the histological type, clinical stage, differentiated degree and metastasis. The expression in non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC） was higher than that in small cell lung cancer （SCLC）; in well-moderately differentiated group was higher than that in poorly differentiated group; Earlier period group （I＋II） was higher than in later period group （Ⅲ＋Ⅳ）; and in group without lymphoid metastasis was higher than in patients with lymphoid metastasis. Conclusion： The progression of the lung cancer maybe related with the descended MRP-1/Cd9 expression, which may be useful in evaluating the prognosis of cancer patients.

Effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on the quantitative expression of P-gp, LRP, MRP, GST-π in NSCLC and its clinical significance

Background and objective Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) plays an important role in systemic chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). P-glycoprotein (P-gp), lung resistance related protein (LRP), multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) and glutathione S-transferase (GST-π) may be associated to drug resisitance to chemotherapy in NSCLC. The aim of this study is to investigate the expressions of P-gp, LRP, MRP and GST-π in samples from NSCLC patients before and after treatment with NACT, and their quantitative changes, so that to evaluate the influence of NACT on drug resistance to chemotherapy of NSCLC. Methods Total 92 specimens from 72 cases of NSCLC, including 52 samples of surgery excision from non-NACT-treated patients and 20 paired samples before and after NACT from the same patient, were studied. The expression of P-gp, LRP, MRP and GST-π was detected with tissue chip technique and immunohistochemistry. The quantitative analysis was carried out by computer image analysis system. Results In the samples before NACT, the positive rate of P-gp, LRP, MRP, GST-π expression was 66.67% (48/72), 72.22% (52/72), 81.94% (59/72), 83.33% (60/72), respectively. The expressive intensity of P-gp, LRP and GST-π was significantly stronger in adenocarcinoma than that in squamous cell carcinoma (P<0.05, P<0.001, P<0.001, respectively); there was no significant difference in the expression of MRP between adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (P>0.05). In samples after treatment with NACT, the expression of P-gp, GST-π demonstrated by average optical density (AOD) and integral optical density (IOD) were significantly higher (P<0.05, P<0.001 respectively) than that in biopsied samples taken before NACT; The change in expression of P-gp, GST-π was also showed difference by different histopathological types, differentiations, ages, sizes, clinical stages as well as lymph node metastasis or not (P<0.05 or P<0.001). There was no significant difference between samples taken before and after NACT (P>0.05) in the expression of LRP and MRP demonstrated by both of AOD and IOD. Conclusion The results suggest that drug resistance in adenocarcinoma is primarily stronger than that in squamous cell carcinoma. NACT may enhance acquired drug resistance of NSCLC through inducing the expression of drug resistance protein. The results indicate that acquired drug resistance must be considered with the application of NACT to NSCLC patient in clinic, especially to patient in stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ. Since NACT may lead to the enhancement of acquired drug resistance in stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ, this may dwindle the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy after surgery. Comparative examination of drug resistance proteins before and after NACT, combining with comprehensive consideration of chemical regimens of NACT, should be recommended during chemotherapy of NSCLC for both before and after surgery.

Expression of Elk-1 in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Detected by Western Blot and Tissue Microarray

Objective： The aim of this study was to investigate the Elk-1 （Ets like transcription factor-1） expression in non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC） and normal lung tissues and the relationship between its expression and clinicopathological characters. Methods： To observe Elk-1 expression, western blot and immunochemistry （IHC） on tissue microarray （TMA） containing 118 lung cancers and their corresponding normal tissues were used. Results： In western blot and IHC on TMA, Elk-1 was highly expressed in NSCLC, while its expression was almost undetectable in normal lung tissues. Elk- 1 expression in NSCLC had no relationship with the patients＇ age, gender, smoking status and histological type, but had relationship with the differentiation degree, clinical stages and lymphonode metastasis. The expression was lower in early stage group （Ⅰ＋Ⅱ） than in advanced stage group （Ⅲ）, and lower in well-moderately differentiated group than in poorly differentiated group. The same trend was seen with lymphonode metastasis. Conclusion： The progression of NSCLC may be related with the increased Elk-1 expression, and Elk-1 may be regarded as a prognostic factor for NSCLC tissues.

There was a positive correlation between the Ets-1 mRNA expression and TGFβ1 and c-Met proteins （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Ets-1 mRNA, TGFβ1 and c-Met proteins may be related to the pathogenesis, progression and malignant behavior of lung cancer. They may play an important role in prognosis assessment of lung cancer.

Identification of p63 expression in human lung cancer: analysis by complementary DNA and tissue microarray

Objective: To evaluate p63 expression at mRNA transcripts and protein levels in lung squamous cell cancer (SCC), adenocarcinoma, large cell lung cancer (LCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and their matched metastatic tumors. The association between p63 expression and p63 locus at chromosomal 3q27 q29 was also investigated. Methods: p63 mRNA expression levels in a large series of lung cancers including SCC, adenocarcinoma, LCLC, SCLC and their matched metastatic tumors were analyzed by cDNA microarray technology. A tissue microarray from 150 primary lung cancer specimens was constructed and used for immunohistochemical detection of p63 protein expression. Chromosomal imbalances at the p63 locus in 70 primary lung cancers samples were studied by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) technology. Results: mRNA levels were 10 fold in SCC compared to LCLC, SCLC, and adenocarcinoma. Interestingly, the mRNA expression of p63 in metastatic carcinomas was significantly higher than that in their matched primary tumors ( P <0 001). Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that p63 expression was 94.64% in SCC but only 1 79% in lung adenocarcinoma and 2 of 4 LCLC were positive staining. All the results in of SCLC were negative. There was a statistically significant difference for p63 positivity between pT1 tumors and those of higher stage ( P =0 035). The CGH results indicated that p63 locus at chromosomal 3q27 q29 was overrepresented in SCC. p63 immunopositivity correlated significantly with pronounced gains of the p63 locus at chromosomal 3q27 q29 (P=0.0001), indicating that strong expression of p63 in lung SCC correlated with increased gene amplification. Conclusion: p63 might play an important role not only in squamous differentiation of lung cancer but also in tumor development and progression.

Effect of the adaptive intermittent ventilation before radical operation for lung cancer under one-lung ventilation on the non-ventilated lung tissue injury and apoptosis molecule protein expression

Objective: To study the effect of the adaptive intermittent ventilation before radical operation for lung cancer under one-lung ventilation on non-ventilated lung tissue injury and apoptosis molecule protein expression. Methods: A total of 288 patients who received radical operation for lung cancer in the hospital between February 2015 and January 2017 were divided into control group and observation group by random number table method, each with 144 cases. Control group received routine one-lung ventilation, and observation group received preoperative adaptive intermittent ventilation of non-ventilated lung tissue. The differences in the levels of inflammatory factors and oxidative stress indexes in serum as well as the apoptosis molecule protein expression in affected-side normal lung tissue were compared between the two groups of patients immediately after intubation and at two-lung ventilation (T0) as well as 10 min before operation ended and at one-lung ventilation (T1). Results: At T0, the differences in the levels of inflammatory factors and oxidative stress indexes in serum as well as the apoptosis molecule protein expression in affected-side normal lung tissue were not significantly significant between the two groups of patients;at T1, IL-1β, IL-8, TNF-α, MPO and MDA levels in serum as well as Bax, caspase-2 and caspase-3 protein expression in normal lung tissue of observation group were lower than those of control group while SOD level in serum and Bcl-2 protein expression in normal lung tissue were higher than those of control group. Conclusion: Adaptive intermittent ventilation before radical operation for lung cancer under one-lung ventilation can effectively reduce the non-ventilated lung tissue injury and inhibit the apoptosis of normal lung cells.

DNA Extraction from Formalin-fixed and Paraffin-embedded Tissues by Triton X-100 for Effective Amplification of EGFR Gene by Polymerase Chain Reaction

For first-line non-small-cell lung cancer（NSCLC） therapy,detecting mutation status of the epidermal growth factor receptor（EGFR） gene constitutes a prudent test to identify patients who are most likely to benefit from EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor（TKI） therapy.Now,the material for detecting EGFR gene mutation status mainly comes from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded（FFPE） tissues.DNA extraction from FFPE and the amplification of EGFR gene by polymerase chain reaction（PCR） are two key steps for detecting EGFR gene mutation.We showed a simple method of DNA extraction from FFPE tissues for the effective amplification of EGFR gene.Extracting DNA from the FFPE tissues of NSCLC patients with 1% Triton X-100（pH=10.0） was performed by heating at 95 °C for 30 min.Meanwhile,a commercial kit was used to extract DNA from the same FFPE tissues of NSCLC patients for comparison.DNA extracted products were used as template for amplifying the exons 18,19,20 and 21 of EGFR by PCR for different amplified fragments.Results show that DNA fragment size extracted from FFPE tissues with 1% Triton X was about 250―500 base pairs（bp）.However,DNA fragment size extracted from FFPE tissues via commercial kit was about from several hundreds to several thousands bp.The DNA yield extracted from FFPE tissues with 1% Triton X was larger than that via commercial kit.For about 500 bp fragment,four exons of EGFR could not be amplified more efficiently from extracted DNA with 1% Triton X than with commercial kit.However,for about 200 bp fragment.This simple and non-laborious protocol could successfully be used to extract DNA from FFPE tissue for the amplification of EGFR gene by PCR,further screening of EGFR gene mutation and facilitating the molecular analysis of a large number of FFPE tissues from NSCLC patients.

Glycosylated and non-glycosylated quantum dot-displayed peptides trafficked indiscriminately inside lung cancer cells but discriminately sorted in normal lung cells: An indispensable part in nanoparticle-based intracellular drug delivery

Difference in sub-cellular trafficking of glycosylated and naked peptides, between normal and lung cancer cells, was established. Normal lung tissue discriminately sorted glycosylated from non-glycosylated peptides by allowing golgi localization of the glycosylated peptides while restricting golgi entry of the naked peptides. This mechanism was surprisingly not observed in its cancer cell counterpart. Lung cancer cells tend to allow unrestricted localization of both glycosylated and naked peptides in the golgi apparatus. This newly discovered difference in sub-cellular trafficking between normal and lung cancer cells could potentially be used as an effective strategy in targeted intracellular delivery, especially targeting golgi-resident enzymes for possible treatment of diseases associated with glycans and glycoproteins, such as, congenital disease of glycosylation(CDG). This very important detail in intracellular trafficking inside normal and cancer cells is an indispensable part in nanoparticle-based intracellular drug delivery.

Treatment of malignant airway obstruction with intrabronchial microwave tissue coagulation in combination with Ir192 radiation

Thirty cases of central type lung cancer complicated with airway obstruction were treated with intrabronchial microwave tissue coagulation (IMTC ) in combination with Ir 192 radiation (Ir192--IR ). The needle--shaped microwave irradiator was modified by the authors. After the treatment, airway obstruction was completely released in 19 cases and partially released in 10. Only 1 case had no response. In 4 to 6 months after the treatment, 20 out of the 30 cases that were followed up presented with no bronchial bleeding, fistula formation or other complications. of the 20 cases, 10 showed complete remission and the other 10 showed partial remission.

Current challenges in applying gene-driven therapies in clinical lung cancer practice

Over the last twenty years,with the development of gene-driven therapies,numerous new drugs have entered clinical use.Very few of these new drugs are suitable for a large number of patients,and all require molecular genetic testing.In lung cancer,gene-targeted therapy has evolved rapidly and has placed demands on the development of diagnostics and tissue sample preparation and logistics.Rapid diagnosis and prevalence assessment are necessary to determine the prognosis of a lung cancer patient based on the latest research findings.Therefore,the molecular-genetic diagnostic pathway must also be accelerated and matured to do the necessary analyses on small samples.Because lung cancer rebiopsy can be difficult,liquid biopsy techniques should be developed to cover more of the treatable mutations.There are obstacles related to tissue sampling,new genomic techniques and access to gene-driven cancer drugs,including their affordability.With this review and case study,we go into the obstacles faced by our clinic and discuss how to tackle these obstacles in lung cancer.We use lung cancer as an example due to its complexity,though these same obstacles are found in different cancers on a minor scale.
