Exploring novel personalized treatment options focusing on cancer stem cells
Get PDFIt is well known that cancer stem cells (CSCs) play a pivotal role in tumor metastasis, recurrence, heterogeneity, and resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy with poor prognosis in various cancers. Therefore, CSCs are promising targets for cancer treatment, which when effectively executed could ultimately improve patient prognosis. The work described in this thesis examined roles of some CSCs-related pathways including MTA3, ChRNA7, A-PaschiRNA, and mTOR in both cancer development, and maintenance and acquirement of cancer stemness, as defined by tumor cell dissemination and metastatic potential, as well as stem cell properties in cancer models. This thesis also revealed several underlying regulatory mechanisms of these pathways. Targeting these CSCs-related pathways using drugs that are currently existing or that will be developed could serve as a method to eliminate CSCs. Moreover, we also explored the potential of CSCs to predict patient response using CSCs-originating 3D cultured patient-derived organoids (PDOs), because accumulating evidence has showed CSCs can result in resistance to treatment. The preliminary results of this part suggest a potential of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) patient’s tumor specific-derived organoids (ec-PDOs) to predict patient-specific responses to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Further characterization and optimization of ec-PDOs culture systems may offer huge potential as a model for predicting patient-specific responses to clinical neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for EAC patients. In conclusion, this thesis focused on CSCs to explore novel personalized treatment options
The use of organoids in the study of radiation response and therapeutic window
Get PDFThe efficacy of radiotherapy cancer treatment is hindered by tumor radioresistance and normal tissue side effects. In this thesis, in vitro stem cell-derived organoid models were developed and used to assess the contribution of both cancer and normal tissue stem cells in the radiation response, to study potential ways to optimize radiotherapy. The 3D nature of organoids may offer a radiation response model that better reflects the patient-specific in vivo response than traditional in vitro 2D cell line models. Many factors contribute to tumor radioresistance, however cancer stem cells related treatment resistance may play an important role. Using esophageal cancer organoids, the potential of altering the cancer stem cell population on reducing tumor radioresistance was assessed. Normal tissue side effects arise from unavoidable co-irradiation of normal tissue. Importantly the homeostasis of the normal tissue may be restored by surviving tissue stem cells. Reducing the dose to normal tissue is currently used in an attempt to reduce normal tissue side effects. However, the effects of a reduced dose to the normal tissue stem cells is not known. In this thesis, organoids are used to study the effects of different types of irradiation on normal tissue stem cells, while the effect of relatively low doses of irradiation on normal tissue was also investigated. It was shown that relatively low doses of irradiation have a disproportionately large impact on tissue function. Together, the work in this thesis contributes to the understanding of mechanisms which contribute to radioresistance and to radiation-induced side effects
Rob and Bert in Tokyo
No full textThis essay is steeped in contradiction: it is as much an attempt at mourning, coping, and letting go as it is an exercise in remembrance, rediscovery, and reconnection. One of the many areas of international legal scholarship where Rob Cryer left his mark is his oeuvre on the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE). To pay tribute to, and get re-acquainted with, Rob-the-person, I re-read his 2010 article on the ‘dignified dissenter’ in Tokyo, Dutch Judge Bert Röling. In that article, Rob uses the memoranda and the opinion of Bert-the-judge to assess his conceptual and legal contributions to the IMTFE judgment. They also serve him as a vehicle to get a better grasp of the author behind the text and the values and dilemmas that shaped Röling’s positions on the IMTFE bench. What more can we learn and understand about Rob Cryer while ‘reading Rob reading Bert’? What aspects of Röling’s legacy did he choose to foreground, and what qualities did he appreciate most? How did Rob treat his character when shedding light on the more contentious elements of Röling’s work? Even if this essay fails in its therapeutic purpose, it might still add a few mosaic pieces to the collective construction of Rob’s portrait in this volume
