Predictive Modeling of Survival and Toxicity in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Radiotherapy

Ibrahim Chamseddine, Yejin Kim, Brian De, Issam El Naqa, Dan G. Duda, John Wolfgang, Jennifer Pursley, Harald Paganetti, Jennifer Wo, Theodore Hong, Eugene J. Koay, Clemens Grassberger

Summary: This study developed machine learning models to predict treatment failure and radiation-induced toxicities in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after radiotherapy. The models demonstrated excellent performance, particularly in high-risk patients, and could be used for patient stratification and treatment selection.

Multiphoton Phosphorescence Quenching Microscopy Reveals Kinetics of Tumor Oxygenation during Antiangiogenesis and Angiotensin Signaling Inhibition

John D. Martin, Ryan M. Lanning, Vikash P. Chauhan, Margaret R. Martin, Ahmed S. Mousa, Walid S. Kamoun, Hee -Sun Han, Hang Lee, Triantafyllos Stylianopoulos, Moungi G. Bawendi, Dan G. Duda, Edward B. Brown, Timothy P. Padera, Dai Fukumura, Rakesh K. Jain

Summary: This study reveals the spatial and temporal heterogeneity in tumor vessel function and oxygen levels, which can affect the response to therapeutic agents. The findings suggest that optimizing the dose and schedule of vascular and stromal normalizing strategies should take into account the dynamic changes in tumor vasculature.

VCP interaction with HMGB1 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression by activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway

Zhangya Pu, Dan G. Duda, Yuanyuan Zhu, Siya Pei, Xiaofang Wang, Yan Huang, Panpan Yi, Zebing Huang, Fang Peng, Xingwang Hu, Xuegong Fan

Summary: This study found that VCP is significantly increased in HCC tissues and is associated with advanced TNM stages and poorer prognosis. VCP overexpression promotes HCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion via PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway activation. Additionally, VCP interacts with HMGB1 and enhances its protein stability, contributing to HCC progression.

Revisiting Antiangiogenic Multikinase Inhibitors in the Era of Immune Checkpoint Blockade: The Case of Sorafenib

Dan G. Duda, Rakesh K. Jain

Summary: The successful development of multikinase inhibitors has revolutionized the treatment of malignant cancers, and the emergence of immunotherapy has raised important questions about treatment interaction with antiangiogenic drugs. Revealing the mechanism of action between these two is crucial to improve treatment outcomes.

Bogenberger, Natalie Meurice, Joachim Petit, Pedro Luiz Serrano Uson, Faaiq Asiam, Elizabeth Raupach, Musa Gabere, Alexei Basnakian, Camila C. Simoes, Martin J. Cannon, Steven R. Post, Kenneth Buetow, Jean Christopher Chamcheu, Michael T. Barrett, Dan G. Duda, Bertram Jacobs, Richard Vile, Michael A. Barry, Lewis R. Roberts, Sumera Llyas, Mitesh J. Borad

Summary: This study demonstrates that wild-type Morreton virus has potential therapeutic effects on cholangiocarcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma in vitro models. It can induce immune responses and lead to tumor regression. These findings support further development and clinical translation of Morreton virus as an oncolytic virotherapy platform.

Immune modulation by molecularly targeted photothermal ablation in a mouse model of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis

Nina M. Munoz, Crystal Dupuis, Malea Williams, Katherine Dixon, Amanda McWatters, Jie Zhang, Swathi Pavuluri, Arvind Rao, Dan G. Duda, Ahmed Kaseb, Rahul A. Sheth

Summary: This study evaluated the morphologic and immunologic effects of a molecularly targeted photothermal ablation technology in an immunotherapy-resistant HCC mouse model. The results showed that this technology increased the number of activated T cells and decreased regulatory T cells in the tumor, and also had influence on systemic tumor immunity.

Distinct single-cell immune ecosystems distinguish true and de novo HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma recurrences

Summary: Analyzing the single-cell immune ecosystems in recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can aid in the development of effective immunotherapies. The study identified de novo and true recurrences in HCC samples and found distinct immune characteristics in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) of these recurrences. The findings suggest the need for different immunotherapy strategies based on the type of HCC recurrence and the specific TIME.

Inhibition of CXCR4 Enhances the Efficacy of Radiotherapy in Metastatic Prostate Cancer Models

Nisha Gupta, Hiroki Ochiai, Yoshinori Hoshino, Sebastian Klein, Jozef Zustin, Rakesh R. Ramjiawan, Shuji Kitahara, Nir Maimon, Despina Bazou, Sarah Chiang, Sen Li, Daniel H. Schanne, Rakesh. K. Jain, Lance L. Munn, Peigen Huang, Sergey V. Kozin, Dan G. Duda

Summary: Radiotherapy is an important treatment for advanced prostate cancer. Inhibition of the SDF1 alpha/CXCR4 axis, which mediates metastasis and resistance to radiotherapy, may be a potential therapeutic target for prostate cancer patients. Inhibition of CXCR4 with AMD3100 enhances the effect of local radiotherapy and reduces lymph node metastasis. It also promotes the normalization of vasculature and reduces tissue hypoxia in bone metastatic prostate cancer.

Addition of Losartan to FOLFIRINOX and Chemoradiation Reduces Immunosuppression-Associated Genes, Tregs, and FOXP3+Cancer Cells in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

Yves Boucher, Jessica M. Posada, Sonu Subudhi, Ashwin S. Kumar, Spencer R. Rosario, Liqun Gu, Heena Kumra, Mari Mino-Kenudson, Nilesh P. Talele, Dan G. Duda, Dai Fukumura, Jennifer Y. Wo, Jeffrey W. Clark, David P. Ryan, Carlos Fernandez-Del Castillo, Theodore S. Hong, Mikael J. Pittet, Rakesh K. Jain

Summary: In this study, we found that adding losartan (LOS) to FOLFIRINOX (FFX) chemotherapy followed by chemoradiation (CRT) in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) resulted in a 61% R0 surgical resection rate. By evaluating the effects of neoadjuvant LOS on the tumor microenvironment, we identified potential mechanisms of benefit. The results showed that LOS+FFX+CRT reduced the expression of immunosuppression and pro-invasion genes and was associated with improved overall survival (OS).

Systemic immune modulation by stereotactic radiotherapy in early-stage lung cancer

Eleni Gkika, Elke Firat, Sonja Adebahr, Erika Graf, Ilinca Popp, Gianluca Radicioni, Simon S. Lo, Ursula Nestle, Nils H. Nicolay, Gabriele Niedermann, Dan G. Duda, Anca-L. Grosu

Summary: We conducted a prospective study to investigate the changes in circulating immune cells after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in early-stage NSCLC patients. We found no significant increase in CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes at the first follow-up, but observed a significant expansion in Ki-67(+)CD8(+) and Ki-67(+)CD4(+) T-cell fractions in patients receiving 10 Gy or less per fraction. Our findings suggest that SBRT can induce immediate expansion of circulating effector T-cells.

Betul Gok Yavuz, Saumil Datar, Shadi Chamseddine, Yehia I. Mohamed, Michael LaPelusa, Sunyoung S. Lee, Zishuo Ian Hu, Eugene J. Koay, Hop S. Tran Cao, Prasun Kumar Jalal, Carrie Daniel-MacDougall, Manal Hassan, Dan G. Duda, Hesham M. Amin, Ahmed O. Kaseb

Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer, and the gut microbiome may play a role in its detection and treatment, particularly in immunotherapy. This review examines the gut microbiome's potential as a biomarker for HCC and its impact on immunotherapy. It also discusses the bidirectional interactions between the gut and liver and the role of gut microbiota in cancer treatment.
