METHODS A mouse model bearing Lewis lung cancer was used.The 5 experimental groups were divided into a positive control (cis-diaminedichloroplatinum),a negative control,and high,medium and low-GOG dosage groups.The inhibitory action of GOG administration on the lung cancer was observed.After GOG treatment,the lungs were taken out and a lung coefficient computed.The expressions of VEGF,Bcl-2,Bax and P53 in the cancers were determined using immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS The tumor weight of the mice given various doses of GOG was significantly lower compared to the negative-control group (P<0.01),and the lung coefficient of the groups given high and low GOG doses was significantly lower compared to the negative-control group (P<0.01).Immunohistochemical results were shown as follows:i) The VEGF and Bcl-2 expressions in the GOG groups were significantly lower than that of the negative-control group (P<0.05);ii) Bax expression in the groups treated with high and medium GOG doses was significantly higher compared to the negative-control group (P<0.05);iii) The mutant P53 expression in the GOG-treated groups was significantly lower compared to the negative-control group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION GOG can inhibit the growth and metastasis of Lewis lung cancer,and may exert its mechanism of tumor control by inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and induction of apoptosis.展开更多

In this phase I clinical study （NCT01869166）, patients with epidermal growth factor receptor （EGFR）-positive （〉50% expression）, relapsed/refractory NSCLC received escalating doses of EGFR-targeted CAR-T cell infusions. The EGFR-targeted CAR-T cells were generated from peripheral blood after a 10 to 13-day in vitro expansion. Serum cytokines in peripheral blood and copy numbers of CAR-EGFR transgene in peripheral blood and in tissue biopsy were monitored periodically. Clinical responses were evaluated with RECISTI.1 and im- mune-related response criteria, and adverse events were graded with CTCAE 4.0. The EGFR-targeted CAR-T cell infusions were well-tolerated without severe toxicity. Of 11 evaluable patients, two patients obtained partial response and five had stable disease for two to eight months. The median dose of transfused CAR＋ T cells was 0.97x 10^7 cells kg J （interquar- tile range （IQR）, 0.45 to 1.09x 10^7 cells kg 1）. Pathological eradication of EGFR positive tumor cells after EGFR-targeted CAR-T cell treatment can be observed in tumor biopsies, along with the CAR-EGFR gene detected in tumor-infiltrating T cells in all four biopsied patients. The EGFR-targeted CAR-T cell therapy is safe and feasible for EGFR-positive advanced re- lapsed/refractory NSCLC.展开更多
