    Abstract: Retapamulin, a semisynthetic pleuromutilin derivative, is exclusively used for the topical short-term medication of impetigo and staphylococcal infections. In the present study, we report that retapamulin is adequately and rapidly metabolized in vitro via various metabolic pathways, such as hydroxylation, including mono-, di-, and trihydroxylation, and demethylation. Like tiamulin and valnemulin, the major metabolic routes of retapamulin were hydroxylation at the 2β and 8α positions of the mutilin moiety. Moreover, in vivo metabolism concurred with the results of the in vitro assays. Additionally, we observed significant interspecies differences in the metabolism of retapamulin. Until now, modifying the side chain was the mainstream method for new drug discovery of the pleuromutilins. This approach, however, could not resolve the low bioavailability and short efficacy of the drugs. Considering the rapid metabolism of the pleuromutilins mediated by cytochrome P450 enzymes, we propose that blocking the active metabolic site (C-2 and C-8 motif) or administering the drug in combination with cytochrome P450 enzyme inhibitors is a promising pathway in the development of novel pleuromutilin drugs with slow metabolism and long efficacy.

    Abstract: Inimex Innate Defence Regulators (IDRs) are novel, synthetic immunomodulatory peptides that protect against infections by selectively activating the innate immune system while regulating inflammation. The multi-faceted effects of IDRs are mediated primarily by monocytes and macrophages. These cells respond to IDRs by selectively increasing the expression of cell surface receptors, and cytokines and chemokines (MCP-1, MCP-3 and CCL-5) which trigger the recruitment and activation of immune cells to the site of the infection. In addition, IDRs control inflammation by enhancing the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, and down-regulating the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 in response to pathogen-associated stimuli. As a result, IDRs selectively activate the immune system without concomitant up-regulation of inflammatory responses. This combination of IDR effects is a distinctive quality of these agents since they are able to maintain a balance between immunostimulatory and inflammatory responses to an invading pathogen.

    Abstract: Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) has been shown to upregulate gene transcription during tumorigenesis. However, how STAT3 initiates transcription remains to be exploited. This study is to reveal the role of CREPT (cell cycle-related and elevated-expression protein in tumours, or RPRD1B) in promoting STAT3 transcriptional activity. Methods BALB/c nude mice, CREPT overexpression or deletion cells were employed for the assay of tumour formation, chromatin immunoprecipitation, assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing. Results We demonstrate that CREPT, a recently identified oncoprotein, enhances STAT3 transcriptional activity to promote tumorigenesis. CREPT expression is positively correlated with activation of STAT3 signalling in tumours. Deletion of CREPT led to a decrease, but overexpression of CREPT resulted in an increase, in STAT3-initiated tumour cell proliferation, colony formation and tumour growth. Mechanistically, CREPT interacts with phosphorylated STAT3 (p-STAT3) and facilitates p-STAT3 to recruit p300 to occupy at the promoters of STAT3-targeted genes. Therefore, CREPT and STAT3 coordinately facilitate p300-mediated acetylation of histone 3 (H3K18ac and H3K27ac), further augmenting RNA polymerase II recruitment. Accordingly, depletion of p300 abolished CREPT-enhanced STAT3 transcriptional activity. Conclusions We propose that CREPT is a co-activator of STAT3 for recruiting p300. Our study provides an alternative strategy for the therapy of cancers related to STAT3.

    Abstract: 417 Background: Gemcitabine plus platinum, notably cisplatin, is conceived as the standard regimen for advanced biliary tract cancer (ABTC) nowadays. Recent randomized phase II study (JCOG0805) showed that gemcitabine plus S-1 was more promising than S-1 alone in ABTC, and a randomized phase III, UMIN 000001685, is currently ongoing to compare the efficacy of gemcitabine plus either S-1 (GS) or cisplatin (GC) in ABTC. Herein, we report the results of a single arm phase II of modified GS in Taiwanese ABTC patients, NCT02425137. Methods: Patients with chemonaïve ABTC were eligible to receive 800mg/m 2 gemcitabine with 10 mg/m 2 /min infusion, on day 1 plus daily 80/100/120 mg of S-1 (based on BSA) days 1-10, in a 2-week cycle. With Optimal Simon’s two-stage design and (p 0 = 0.4, p 1 = 0.6) for 12-week disease control rate (proportion of patients with complete or partial response [CR/PR] or stable disease ≥ 12 weeks [SD ≥ 12weeks ]) and given error probabilities (alpha = 0.05, beta = 0.2), the null hypothesis (p 0 ) would be rejected if 24 or more patients with CR/PR/SD ≥ 12weeks were observed among 46 accruals. Tumor response was assessed by CT/MRI every 6 weeks according to RECIST v1.1. Results: Between May 2015 and April 2016, totally 46 evaluable patients were enrolled to receive a median of 9.5 cycles (range: 3-31) of modified GS. After a median of 8.7 months (95% CI, 6.7-9.1) follow-up, 10 (21.7%) patients achieved PR and additional 23 (50%) had SD 〉 12weeks . The median progression-free survival and overall survival was 5.6 (95% CI, 4.4-7.2) and 10.8 (95% CI, 7.6-not reached) months, respectively. All grade 3 treatment-related AEs were 〈 5%. The dose intensity of S-1 and gemcitabine were both more than 95%. Conclusions: By the observation of 33 patients with PR/SD ≥ 12weeks , the null hypothesis was rejected. Modified GS is an active regimen with excellent safety profiles and deserves further investigation for the management of Asian ABTC patients. Clinical trial information: NCT 02425137.
