Radiation cystitis is one of the major complications following radiotherapy for cervical cancer. However, spontaneous intraperitoneal bladder rupture as a result of radiation cystitis following radiotherapy for cervical cancer is extremely rare. Case presentation: We report a 52-year-old patient who received radiation therapy for cervical cancer 15 years prior to presentation. Eight years prior to presentation, she developed recurrent abdominal distension, oliguria, and ascites. Following ascites drainage and supportive treatment, all symptoms were relieved. However, all symptoms subsequently recurred every few months. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy twice. The first exploratory laparotomy in July 2015 found no specific abnormalities. The second exploratory laparotomy in November 2016 found an intraperitoneal bladder rupture, and the patient underwent surgical repair. The ascites subsequently resolved. Conclusion: The occurrence of spontaneous intraperitoneal bladder rupture after radiation therapy for cervical cancer is rare. The prognosis is good when diagnosis and treatment are prompt.

Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of postoperative sequential chemotherapy and radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer.Methods From January 2003 to December 2010, 146 gastric cancer patients at our institution(Department of Oncology, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China) received postoperative sequential chemotherapy and radiotherapy after radical surgery. Radiotherapy was administered as a dose of 4500 cGy in 25 fractions. For patients with positive margins, the dose was raised to 5040 cGy in 28 fractions. Three cycles of m FOLFOX or PF(cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil) chemotherapy regimen were applied before and after radiotherapy. Three-and 5-year survival rates were analyzed; any adverse effects with respect to hematology, hepatic and renal function, or the gastrointestinal tract that occurred during the treatment were evaluated.Results This cohort consisted of non-metastatic patients: 104 men and 42 women with a median age of 51.0 years. The full course of sequential chemotherapy and radiotherapy(4500–5040 cGy) was completed by 129 patients(88.4%). Seventeen regional relapses(9.8%) and 46 distant relapses(23.8%) were recorded. Fifty patients(34.2%) died during follow-up. The 3-and 5-year overall survival rates(OS) were 60% and 54%, and disease-free survival rates(DFS) were 53% and 47%, respectively. There were no significant differences in survival rate with respect to age, sex, histopathology, N stage, site of the tumor, or margin status. Multivariate analysis showed that only the depth of tumor invasion(T stage) was an independent prognostic factor for OS(P = 0.009) and DFS(P = 0.006). The rates of grades 3 and 4 neutropenia and vomiting were 9.6% and 3.4%, respectively, during the treatment.Conclusion Postoperative sequential chemotherapy with an m FOLFOX or PF regimen and radiotherapy were found to be an effective means of treating advanced gastric cancer patients with T3–T4 disease. The adverse effects of this treatment were tolerable.
ARID1A, a component of the chromatin remodeling complex SWI/SNF, is an evolutionarily conserved complex that uses the energy of adenosine triphosphate hydrolysis to remodel chromatin structure and functions as a master regulator of gene transcription. Recent genomic studies have revealed that ARID1A is one of the most frequently mutated genes in human cancers. However, therapeutic approaches that selectively target ARID1A-mutant tumors are not yet clinically available. Our previous study showed that ARID1A facilitates chromatin response and cell cycle checkpoint activation after DNA damage. Therefore, an ARID1A deficiency may result in therapeutic vulnerabilities in cell cycle modulators. The goals of our study were to develop a novel screening approach, based on fluorescent ubiquitination-based cell cycle indicators (FUCCI), and to identify chemical agents that can selectively modulate the cell cycle transition in ARID1A-deficient cancer cells. Using this high-throughput assay, we screened 2643 compounds and identified six potential chemical modulators that can selectively modulate the cell cycle in ARID1A-deficient cells; these agents may be useful for developing new therapeutics for ARID1A-mutant tumors. In summary, our study demonstrates that FUCCI cell-based high-content screening is a powerful and effective approach for identifying cell cycle modulators and can be applied to multigenotypic screening for targeted cancer therapeutics.
Investigation of natural products is an attractive strategy to identify novel compounds for cancer prevention and treatment. Numerous studies have shown the efficacy and safety of natural products, and they have been widely used as alternative treatments for a wide range of illnesses, including cancers. However, it remains unknown whether natural products affect homologous recombination (HR)-mediated DNA repair and whether these compounds can be used as sensitizers with minimal toxicity to improve patients' responses to radiation therapy, a mainstay of treatment for many human cancers. In this study, in order to systematically identify natural products with an inhibitory effect on HR repair, we developed a high-throughput image-based HR repair screening assay and screened a chemical library containing natural products. Among the most interesting of the candidate compounds identified from the screen was β-thujaplicin, a bioactive compound isolated from the heart wood of plants in the Cupressaceae family, can significantly inhibit HR repair. We further demonstrated that β-thujaplicin inhibits HR repair by reducing the recruitment of a key HR repair protein, Rad51, to DNA double-strand breaks. More importantly, our results showed that β-thujaplicin can radiosensitize cancer cells. Additionally, β-thujaplicin sensitizes cancer cells to PARP inhibitor in different cancer cell lines. Collectively, our findings for the first time identify natural compound β-thujaplicin, which has a good biosafety profile, as a novel HR repair inhibitor with great potential to be translated into clinical applications as a sensitizer to DNA-damage-inducing treatment such as radiation and PARP inhibitor. In addition, our study provides proof of the principle that our robust high-throughput functional HR repair assay can be used for a large-scale screening system to identify novel natural products that regulate DNA repair and cellular responses to DNA damage-inducing treatments such as radiation therapy.
Globally, gastric cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths because of the lack of effective treatments for patients with advanced tumors when curative surgery is not possible. Thus, there is an urgent need to identify molecular targets in gastric cancer that can be used for developing novel therapies and prolonging patient survival. Checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) is a crucial regulator of cell cycle transition in DNA damage response (DDR). In our study, we report that Chk1 plays an important role in promoting gastric cancer cell survival and growth, which serves as an effective therapeutic target in gastric cancer. First, Chk1 ablation by small interfering RNA could significantly inhibit cell proliferation and sensitize the effects of ionizing radiation (IR) treatment in both p53 wild type gastric cancer cell line AGS, and p53 mutant cell line MKN1. Secondly, we tested the anticancer effects of Chk1 chemical inhibitor LY2606368, which is a novel Chk1/2 targeted drug undergoing clinical trials in many malignant diseases. We found that LY2606368 can induce DNA damage, and remarkably suppress cancer proliferation and induce apoptosis in AGS and MKN1 cells. Moreover, we identified that LY2606368 can significantly inhibit homologous recombination (HR) mediated DNA repair and thus showed marked synergistic anticancer effect in combination with poly (ADP- ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) inhibitor BMN673 in both in vitro studies and in vivo experiments using a gastric cancer PDx model. The synergy between LY2606368 and PARP1 was likely caused by impaired the G2M checkpoint due to LY2606368 treatment, which forced mitotic entry and cell death in the presence of BMN673. In conclusion, we propose that Chk1 is a valued target for gastric cancer treatment, especially Chk1 inhibitor combined with PARP inhibitor may be a more effective therapeutic strategy in gastric cancer.

BACKGROUND: Three recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have reported that three SNPs (rs4072037, rs13361707 and rs2274223) located on genes related to host inflammatory response are significantly associated with susceptibility to gastric cancer (GC) in Chinese populations. Helicobacter pylori infection is also an important risk factor for GC through causing inflammatory response in the gastric mucosa. However, no study has established whether there are potential gene-environment interactions between these genetic variants and H. pylori infection to the risk of GC. METHODS: We genotyped three polymorphisms (rs4072037 at 1q22, rs13361707 at 5p13, and rs2274223 at 10q23) in 335 Chinese gastric adenocarcinoma patients and 334 controls. H. pylori serology was examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between the variables and GC risk. RESULTS: We confirmed that the three SNPs (rs4072037, rs13361707 and rs2274223) were significantly associated with GC susceptibility. H. pylori infection also significantly increased the risk of GC. Furthermore, there were joint effects between H. pylori infection and the three SNPs on the risk of GC. The most elevated risk of GC was found in subjects with H. pylori seropositivity and AA genotypes for rs4072037 [odds ratio (OR), 3.95; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.29-6.79], H. pylori seropositivity and CT/CC genotypes for rs13361707 (OR, 2.68; 95% CI, 1.62-4.43), H. pylori seropositivity and AG/GG genotypes for rs2274223 (OR, 2.45; 95% CI, 1.55-3.88) compared with those with H. pylori seronegativity and other genotypes of each SNP. Significant interactions were observed between H. pylori seropositivity and the three SNPs (all P(G× E) <0.05) to the risk of GC. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that the three SNPs (rs4072037, rs13361707 and rs2274223) identified in the GWASs may interact with H. pylori infection to increase the risk of GC.
Objective To identify the mutations in Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase ( SOD1 ) gene in three Chinese kindreds with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ( ALS), compare the genotypes with those found in other ethnic groups and to analyze the clinical characteristics.Methods The diagnosis of ALS met El Escorial ALS diagnostic criteria.Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood in ALS patients using standard procedure.PCR amplifications of five exons of SOD1 were performed using primers as described in the previous publication.The PCR products were directly sequenced.Results A heterozygous mutation H46R was found in four affected members in a family with middle age onset and slowly progressive ALS.A heterozygous mutation of G72C was identified in a 20-year-old male who died of respiratory failure after two years of ALS.His father carried the same mutation without clinical phenotype.In the third family with 20affected members with middle age onset and rapidly progress, a mutation of E13V was identified in 5 affected subjects.Conclusions This study is the first large screening of SOD1 mutation in Chinese familiar ALS patients.H46R has previously been found only in Japanese and Pakistanis; this is the first report in Chinese, suggesting H46R may be specific to Asians.The family with mutation G72C presented decreased penetrance, therefore screening SOD1 mutation in sporadic cases and unaffected family members is necessary.E133V is the first reported mutation and needs more study to investigate its effect on the disease.
BACKGROUND:Treatments to brain metastases in patients of NSCLC include operation, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, while the disease control rate of brain lesions is not so good, the media survival time is 4-6 months. Tyrosine kinase inhibitor erlotinib can get into blood-brain barrier as reported, and it is used as a effetive method to control brain metastases. The aim of this clinical observation was to evaluate the efficacy and adverse reactions after concomitant therapy of erlotinib and whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) in patients of NSCLC with brain metastasis.METHODS:This was a retrospective study. From 2006 to 2009, There were 12 cases of NSCLC with brain metastases. They were accepted the concomitant therapy of erlotinib and WBRT. The dose of erlotinib was 150 mg/d and the radiotherapy dose was (3 000-3 600) cGy/(10-12) F. After 2 months of radiotherapy the early efficacy was evaluabed.RESULTS:The control rate of brain metastases was 91.7% with PR 66.7%, SD 25%. The major adverse reactions were skin rash (75%) and fatigue (91.7%).CONCLUSIONS:The effect of the concomitant of erlotinib and WBRT in patients of NSCLC with brain metastases is better than WBRT alone, and the concomitant therapy is well tolerated.
