  • Vandetanib-Eluting Beads for the Treatment of Liver Tumours
    VANDETANIB-ELUTING BEADS FOR THE TREATMENT OF LIVER TUMOURS ALICE HAGAN A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the University of Brighton for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2018 ABSTRACT Drug-eluting bead trans-arterial chemo-embolisation (DEB-TACE) is a minimally invasive interventional treatment for intermediate stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Drug loaded microspheres, such as DC Bead™ (Biocompatibles UK Ltd) are selectively delivered via catheterisation of the hepatic artery into tumour vasculature. The purpose of DEB-TACE is to physically embolise tumour-feeding vessels, starving the tumour of oxygen and nutrients, whilst releasing drug in a controlled manner. Due to the reduced systemic drug exposure, toxicity is greatly reduced. Embolisation-induced ischaemia is intended to cause tumour necrosis, however surviving hypoxic cells are known to activate hypoxia inducible factor (HIF-1) which leads to the upregulation of several pro-survival and pro-angiogenic pathways. This can lead to tumour revascularisation, recurrence and poor treatment outcomes, providing a rationale for combining anti-angiogenic agents with TACE treatment. Local delivery of these agents via DEBs could provide sustained targeted therapy in combination with embolisation, reducing systemic exposure and therefore toxicity associated with these drugs. This thesis describes for the first time the loading of the DEB DC Bead and the radiopaque DC Bead LUMI™ with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor vandetanib. Vandetanib selectively inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), two signalling receptors involved in angiogenesis and HCC pathogenesis. Physicochemical properties of vandetanib loaded beads such as maximum loading capacity, effect on size, radiopacity and drug distribution were evaluated using various analytical techniques.

The ongoing search for new prognostic factors include Bcl2, Bax, Cox-2 or HIF1- alpha, which plays a key role in phenomenon of tumor hypoxia and might induce transcription of the EPO gene. Erythropoietin may influence lymph node metastasis or stimulate tumor progression, thus it seemed interesting to determine its expression in invasive breast cancers with lymph node metastases presenting different basic immunohistochemical profiles (ER, PR, HER2). Aim: To evaluate the relationship between histological grade, tumor size, lymph node status, expression of ER, PR, HER2 and immunohistochemical expression of erythropoietin in invasive breast cancer with metastasis to lymph nodes.

  • As a Key Regulator of Erythropoiesis, Bone Remodeling and Endothelial
    cells Review Erythropoietin (EPO) as a Key Regulator of Erythropoiesis, Bone Remodeling and Endothelial Transdifferentiation of Multipotent Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs): Implications in Regenerative Medicine Asterios S. Tsiftsoglou Laboratory of Pharmacology, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece; [email protected] Abstract: Human erythropoietin (EPO) is an N-linked glycoprotein consisting of 166 aa that is pro- duced in the kidney during the adult life and acts both as a peptide hormone and hematopoietic growth factor (HGF), stimulating bone marrow erythropoiesis. EPO production is activated by hypoxia and is regulated via an oxygen-sensitive feedback loop. EPO acts via its homodimeric erythropoietin receptor (EPO-R) that increases cell survival and drives the terminal erythroid mat- uration of progenitors BFU-Es and CFU-Es to billions of mature RBCs. This pathway involves the activation of multiple erythroid transcription factors, such as GATA1, FOG1, TAL-1, EKLF and BCL11A, and leads to the overexpression of genes encoding enzymes involved in heme biosynthesis Citation: Tsiftsoglou, A.S. and the production of hemoglobin. The detection of a heterodimeric complex of EPO-R (consist- Erythropoietin (EPO) as a Key ing of one EPO-R chain and the CSF2RB β-chain, CD131) in several tissues (brain, heart, skeletal Regulator of Erythropoiesis, Bone muscle) explains the EPO pleotropic action as a protection factor for several cells, including the Remodeling and Endothelial multipotent MSCs as well as cells modulating the innate and adaptive immunity arms.

Received February 1, 2015; Accepted March 30, 2015; Epub April 1, 2015; Published April 15, 2015 Abstract: To evaluate erythropoietin (Epo) and erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) expression, its relationship with vas- culogenic mimicry (VM) and its prognostic value in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we examined Epo/EpoR expression and VM formation using immunohistochemistry and CD31/PAS (periodic acid-Schiff) double staining on 92 HCC specimens. The correlation between Epo/EpoR expression and VM formation was analyzed using two-tailed Chi-square test and Spearman correlation analysis. Survival curves were generated using Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate analysis was performed using Cox regression model to assess the prognostic values. Results showed positive correlation between Epo/EpoR expression and VM formation (P < 0.05). Patients with Epo or EpoR expres- sion exhibited poorer overall survival (OS) than Epo-negative or EpoR-negative patients (P < 0.05). Epo-positive/VM- positive and EpoR-positive/VM-positive patients had the worst OS (P < 0.05). In multivariate survival analysis, age, Epo and EpoR were independent prognostic factors related to OS.
