We aimed to clarify the associations between CTLA-4, TNF-a polymorphism and osteosarcoma risk by using meta-analysis. Methods: We searched relevant studies without language restriction in PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar databases, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and conference literature in humans published prior to March 2013. The strengths of the associations between genetic variants and osteosarcoma risk were estimated by odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Results: A total of seven studies with 1,198 osteosarcoma patients and 1,493 controls were selected. Four studies were eligible for CTLA-4 (1,003 osteosarcoma and 1,162 controls), and three studies for TNF-a (195 osteosarcoma and 331 controls). Pooled results showed that rs231775 polymorphism of CTLA-4 was associated with osteosarcoma risk (GG vs. AA: OR=1.63, 95% CI=1.24-2.13; GG + GA vs. AA: OR=1.56, 95% CI=1.21-2.01; AA + GA vs. GG: OR=0.83, 95% CI=0.71-0.97; G vs. A: OR=1.21, 95% CI=1.08-1.36). No significant heterogeneity was observed across the studies. No significant associations were found between rs5742909 polymorphism of CTLA-4 or rs1800629 polymorphism of TNF-a and osteosarcoma risk. Conclusions: These results suggest that the rs231775 polymorphism of CTLA-4 may play an important role in carcinogenesis of osteosarcoma.展开更多

Recordings of magnetic field emissions of select small inhibitor RNAs (siRNAs;murine targeting CTLA-4 and murine targeting PD-1) were tested on C57Bl/6 mice implanted subcutaneously with the GL261 murine tumor cell line. A signal composed of concatenated recordings of siRNA molecules targeting the murine CTLA-4 and PD-1 receptors (labeled A2) was used in immune competent C57Bl/6 mice. The mice were flank implanted with the murine glioblastoma cell line GL261. Mice were exposed to the signal continuously (24 hours a day) until tumor volumes reached the designated volume limit. Tumors were excised and analyzed via PAGE/Western blot for the expression of CTLA-4, PD-1, Ki67, Caspase 3, CD4 and CD8. Terminal blood draws were used for CBCs. We report the down regulation of the checkpoint inhibitors CTLA-4 in the exposed mice. Significant tumor volume reduction was observed in mice exposed to the siRNA signal compared to control mice;no adverse events were recorded. Cell blood counts (CBC) and protein expression patterns were observed to correlate with the expected function of protein expression inhibition of the targets.展开更多

文摘淋巴细胞活化基因3(lymphocyte-activation gene 3,LAG-3)又称CD223,是一种由LAG-3基因编码的含有498个氨基酸的I型穿膜蛋白,由胞外区、穿膜区和胞内区三部分组成。LAG-3主要通过胞外区与配体结合,负向调控T淋巴细胞,避免T细胞过度激活引发自身免疫。与程序性死亡蛋白-1(programmed cell death 1,PD-1)和细胞毒性T淋巴细胞抗原4(cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4,CTLA-4)一样,LAG-3是体内重要的免疫检查点,对人体免疫系统起到平衡调控作用。肿瘤细胞通过高表达LAG-3配体逃避机体免疫系统的监视。随着免疫检查点的研究逐渐深入,LAG-3成为继PD-1和CTLA-4之后新一代的免疫治疗靶点。本文主要对LAG-3的结构、功能及其抑制剂在肿瘤免疫治疗中的应用进行综述,以期为LAG-3的进一步研究提供参考。
