    Abstract Background: Studies have shown that lymphocytes support hepatic oval cell (HOC)-dependent liver regeneration and FK506(Tacrolimus) is known as an immunosuppressor. Therefore, we studied the role of FK506 in HOC activation and/or proliferation to guide the clinical use of FK506.
    Methods: Thirty male Lewis rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: (A) intervene in activation (n = 8), (B) intervene in proliferation (n = 8), (C) control HOC model (n = 8), and (D) pure partial hepatectomy (PH) (n = 6). The HOC model was established by 2AAF(2-acetylaminofluorene)/PH in groups A to C. FK506 (at a dose of 1 mg/kg/d) was given subcutaneously in group A except on operation day, and not until day 8 post-operation (PO) in group B. Half of the animals were euthanized on days 10 and 14 PO, respectively. The remnant liver was weighed and stained by hematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemical staining of proliferating cell nuclear antigen and epithelial cell adhesion molecule enabled HOC proliferation analysis.
    Results: FK506 intervention exacerbated liver damage and hindered the recovery of the HOC model rat. Weight gain was severely retarded or even negative. Liver weight and the liver body weight ratio were lower than control group. HE and immunohistochemistry showed pooer proliferation of hepatocytes and fewer HOC numbers in group A.
    Conclusion: FK506 inhibited HOC activation by affecting T and NK cells, ultimately blocking liver regeneration. Poor liver regeneration after auxiliary liver transplantation might be associated with the inhibition of HOC activation and proliferation caused by FK506 treatment.

    Abstract Liver cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, and its incidence and mortality are increasing year by year. The prognosis of liver cancer depends on the stage of liver cancer, the treatment method, the liver function, and individual differences. The prognosis of liver cancer mainly worsens with the progression of the stage. The prediction and staging system of liver cancer prognosis plays a very important role in the outcome of liver cancer prognosis, providing some guidance for clinical practice and bringing benefits for patients. This article reports on the prediction models and staging systems that have been applied in the field of liver cancer in the past 5 years, objectively analyzes the advantages and disadvantages, applicable population of each model and staging system, and searches for other patient and clinical characteristics that need to be considered for successfully establishing a prediction model, aiming to improve the specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy of liver cancer prediction and increase the overall survival rate of liver cancer.

    Abstract Anaprazole, a newly developed oral proton pump inhibitor, was evaluated for safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in healthy Chinese subjects. This study involved administering either anaprazole sodium enteric-coated tablet or placebo, followed by monitoring the incidence and severity of any adverse events (AEs). The pharmacokinetic parameters of anaprazole, its isomer, and main metabolisms were determined. The results showed that both single-dose (2.5-120 mg) and multiple-dose (20 mg once daily, 40 mg once daily, or 20 mg twice daily) oral administration of anaprazole sodium enteric-coated tablet were safe and well tolerated. Following single-dose administration, the median time to reach maximum plasma concentration of anaprazole was between 3.50 and 5.25 hours, with mean elimination half-life of 1.22-3.79 hours. The absorption and elimination of anaprazole in the human body appeared to basically follow linear kinetics. After repeated dosing, steady-state concentrations of anaprazole, its isomer, and primary metabolites were achieved, with a median time to reach maximum plasma concentration of 3-3.75 hours and a mean elimination half-life of 1.61-2.27 hours for anaprazole. There was no significant drug accumulation after multiple-dose oral administration. In conclusion, anaprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets were found to be safe and well tolerated in healthy Chinese individuals. Anaprazole is absorbed and metabolized consistently in the human body without any accumulation.

    Abstract Anaprazole, a new proton pump inhibitor (PPI), is designed for the treatment of acid-related diseases, such as gastric ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux. This study explored the in vitro metabolic transformation of anaprazole. The metabolic stabilities of anaprazole in human plasma and human liver microsomes (HLM) were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Then, the contribution (%) of non-enzymatic and cytochrome P450s (CYPs) enzyme-mediated anaprazole metabolism was assessed. To obtain the metabolic pathways of anaprazole, the metabolites generated in HLM, thermal deactivated HLM, and cDNA-expressed recombinant CYPs incubation systems were identified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/Q-TOF-MS). Results showed that anaprazole was very stable in human plasma and unstable in HLM. The contribution (%) of non-enzymatic vs. CYPs enzyme-mediated metabolism was 49% vs. 51%. CYP3A4 was the major enzyme (48.3%), followed by CYP2C9 (17.7%) and CYP2C8 (12.3%), in responsible for the metabolism of anaprazole. Specific chemical inhibitors targeting CYP enzymes notably blocked the metabolic transformation of anaprazole. Six metabolites of anaprazole were identified in the non-enzymatic system, whereas 17 metabolites were generated in HLM. The biotransformation reactions mainly included sulfoxide reduction to thioether, sulfoxide oxidation to sulfone, deoxidation, dehydrogenation, O-dealkylation or O-demethylation of thioether, O-demethylation and dehydrogenation of thioether, O-dealkylation and dehydrogenation of thioether, thioether O-dealkylation and dehydrogenation of thioether, and O-dealkylation of sulfone. Both enzymatic and non-enzymatic metabolisms contribute to the clearance of anaprazole in human. Anaprazole is less likely to develop drug-drug interactions in clinical use compared to other PPIs.

    Abstract DMC-HA, a novel HDAC inhibitor, has previously demonstrated antiproliferative activity against various cancers, including gliomas. However, the role of DMC-HA in the regulation of EMT and its underlying mechanisms remain unknown. This study aimed to explore the effects of DMC-HA on TGF-β1-induced EMT in human gliomas and the underlying mechanisms involved. Our results showed that TGF-β1 induced EMT of U87 and U251 cells, leading to a decrease in epithelial marker ZO-1 and an increase in mesenchymal markers N-cadherin and Vimentin. Moreover, TGF-β1 treatment resulted in a significant increase in the migratory and invasive abilities of the cells. However, treatment with DMC-HA effectively inhibited the augmented migration and invasion of glioma cells induced by TGF-β1. Additionally, DMC-HA inhibits TGF-β1-induced EMT by suppressing canonical Smad pathway and non-canonical TGF-β/Akt and Erk signalling pathways. These findings suggest that DMC-HA has potential therapeutic implications for gliomas by inhibiting EMT progression.

    Abstract Distant metastasis is common in ocular uveal melanoma (uveal melanoma, UM) [1], with possible identification of relevant protein markers in peripheral blood [2], [3]. Proteomics analyses serve as a basis for the screening of new target proteins. However, it is difficult to determine whether the relevant proteins in peripheral blood are the same kinesins as those in primary lesions and metastases. Specially in this study, human UM cells (92.1) [4] were inoculated into the back of the eyeball and the brain of inbred line nude mice transplanted with enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) [5], respectively, to simulate the growth of UM

    Abstract Immunotherapy has achieved prominent clinical efficacy in combating cancer and has recently become a mainstream treatment strategy. However, achieving broad efficacy with a single modality is challenging, and the heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment (TME) restricts the accuracy and effectiveness of immunotherapy strategies for tumors. Herein, a TME-responsive targeted nanoparticle to enhance antitumor immunity and reverse immune escape by codelivering interleukin-12 (IL-12) expressing gene and colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF-1R) inhibitor PLX3397 (PLX) is presented. The introduction of disulfide bonds and cyclo(Arg-Gly-Asp-d-Phe-Lys) (cRGD) peptides conferred reduction reactivity and tumor targeting to the nanoparticles, respectively. It is hypothesized that activating host immunity by the local expression of IL-12, while modulating the tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) function through blocking CSF-1/CSF-1R signaling, could constitute a feasible approach for cancer immunotherapy. The fabricated functional nanoparticle successfully ameliorated the TME by stimulating the proliferation and activation of T lymphocytes, promoting the repolarization of TAMs, reducing myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), and promoting the maturation of dendritic cells (DC) as well as the secretion of antitumor cytokines, which efficiently suppressed tumor growth and metastasis. Finally, substantial changes in the TME were deciphered by single-cell analysis including infiltration of different cells, transcriptional states, secretory signaling and cell-cell communications. These findings provide a promising combinatorial immunotherapy strategy through immunomodulatory nanoparticles.
