Case Report: Medullary carcinoma of the pancreas with MLH1 promoter hypermethylation, induced deficient mismatch repair, successfully treated with an immune checkpoint inhibitor. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The patient initially received nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine, achieving tumor shrinkage. Upon tumor regrowth, she was treated with the anti-programmed cell death-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) pembrolizumab, which resulted in significant tumor reduction. This is the first case report of MCP with dMMR/MSI-H due to MLH1 promoter hypermethylation, effectively treated with an ICI.

Translational selenium nanomedicine synergizes with nab-paclitaxel to enhance antitumor effects in esophageal squamous cell cancer via selenoprotein N-mediated ER stress. (PubMed, J Nanobiotechnology)
Moreover, in vivo evaluation on KYSE-150 tumor-bearing mice models also demonstrated the supplementation of LNT-SeNPs with low dosage during the Nab-PTX treatment may synergize the antitumor efficacy and significantly mitigate the adverse reactions or toxicity resulting from a substantial dose of Nab-PTX. Overall, along with the facile accessibility of raw materials, this study reports LNT-SeNPs as a synergistic agent to promote the antitumor efficacy of Nab-PTX, which may be translated as a wide-applicable, efficient and highly safe strategy for clinical treatment of ESCC.

Efficacy and safety of paclitaxel combined with oxaliplatin in the treatment of advanced primary hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, Am J Cancer Res)
A total of 126 patients with advanced PLC were divided into two treatment groups: the nab-PTX/OXA group (n=66) and the sorafenib (Sor)/OXA group (n=60), with a treatment cycle of 21 days. In short, PTX combined with OXA demonstrated favorable efficacy in treating advanced PLC. This regimen not only improved SQ and QoL but also prolonged survival.

Acetyl-lysine human serum albumin nanoparticles are taken up by CD44 receptors on cancer stem cells and this leads to tumor eradication, without recurrence. (PubMed, J Control Release)
In a CD44+ tumor model, PTX-loaded Ac-HSA-PLA NPs outperformed Abraxane®, achieving complete tumor elimination without recurrence, two months post-treatment, while Abraxane treated tumors continued to grow (tumor volume increased five fold). The Ac-HSA-PLA (PTX) NPs also demonstrated minimal systemic toxicity, suggesting that Ac-HSA could be a promising alternative for targeted cancer therapy in CD44-expressing cancers.

Wolf in Sheep's Clothing: Taming Cancer's Resistance with Human Serum Albumin? (PubMed, Int J Nanomedicine)
Drawing from clinical examples, including the success of albumin-bound paclitaxel (Abraxane) and new formulations like Pazenir and Fyarro (for Sirolimus), we identify gaps in current knowledge and propose strategies to optimize albumin-based systems. In conclusion, albumin-based nanoparticles, when tailored with appropriate modifications, have the potential to bypass multidrug resistance and improve the targeting of cancer cells. By enhancing albumin's ability to efficiently deliver therapeutic agents, these carriers represent a promising approach to addressing one of oncology's most persistent challenges, with substantial potential to improve cancer treatment outcomes.

Analysis of the chemotherapy effect of albumin-bound paclitaxel combined with pirarubicin and cyclophosphamide on breast cancer and the effects of PCR, ORR, and CBR. (PubMed, Pak J Med Sci)
The incidence of adverse reactions was 33.33% (15/45), which was slightly higher than that of 28.89% (13/45) in the control group, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Albumin-bound paclitaxel combined with pirarubicin and cyclophosphamide is a safe regimen that can further enhance the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer, and it has a certain value for dissemination in the treatment of breast cancer can further enhance the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients, which is of certain value for clinical promotion.

Suppression of the LKB1-AMPK-SLC7A11-GSH signaling pathway sensitizes NSCLC to albumin-bound paclitaxel via oxidative stress. (PubMed, Redox Biol)
Consistently, the combination of nab-PTX with an AMPK inhibitor exhibits a greater therapeutic efficacy in LKB1-WT NSCLC using xenograft models in vivo. Taken together, our data reveal a novel role of LKB1-AMPK-SLC7A11-GSH signaling pathway in the primary resistance to nab-PTX, and provide a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of LKB1-WT NSCLC by targeting the LKB1-AMPK-SLC7A11-GSH pathway.

Genetic Alterations, Therapy Response, and Survival Among Patients With Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial. (PubMed, JAMA Netw Open)
To investigate the effect of BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 tumor pathogenic variants (tPVs) by comparing 2 deescalated neoadjuvant regimens (nab-paclitaxel plus either carboplatin or gemcitabine) on pathologic complete response (pCR), invasive disease-free survival (IDFS), and overall survival (OS) of patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). These findings suggest that BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 tPV status could be a candidate marker for a deescalation strategy in early-stage TNBC; however, prospective validation of survival outcomes in larger cohorts with differentiation between germline and somatic pathogenic variants is necessary.

Nab-Paclitaxel Promotes Radiosensitization by Inducing DNA Damage and Inhibiting Macrophage M2 Polarization in Cholangiocarcinoma. (PubMed, Cancer Biother Radiopharm)
Nab-paclitaxel significantly upregulated phosphorylated AMPKα, apoptotic proteins as zinc finger matrin-type 3, and nuclear factor kappa-B levels following radiation exposure. Our study confirmed the radiosensitizing effect of nab-paclitaxel on cholangiocarcinoma cells through a dual effect of antitumor proliferation and inhibition of M2 macrophage polarization, and the underlying mechanism involved activation of the AMPK signaling pathway.

Optimally designed PEGylatied arabinoxylan paclitaxel nano-micelles as alternative delivery for Abraxane®: A potential targeted therapy against breast and lung cancers. (PubMed, Int J Biol Macromol)
The findings confirmed the activation of acidic/neutral autophagosomes in acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) and nuclear fragmentation was clearly shown by 4', 6-diamidino-2 phenylindole (DAPI) nuclear stains. The findings provide the basis for the potential application of arabinoxylans as a great vehicle for the encapsulation of chemotherapeutic agents such as PTX for target delivery, and also as an immune mediator.
