Abstract
Background
Given the heterogeneity and high mortality associated with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma, this study aims to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of combining 177Lu-FAPI-46 with Pazopanib against this malignancy.
Methods
Patient-derived xenograft (PDX)-bearing mice were randomly divided into three groups: the control group, the 177Lu-FAPI-46 monotherapy group, and the 177Lu-FAPI-46 combined with Pazopanib therapy group. Therapeutic efficacy was regularly monitored.
Results
The microPET imaging showed a 0.84-fold decrease in the T/M ratio of 68Ga-FAPI-46 on day 7/8 post combination therapy, while the control group exhibited a 1.23-fold increase. Combination therapy significantly inhibited tumor proliferation, as evidenced by reduced Ki-67 and increased caspase 3 expressions. Notably, there was no significant body weight loss observed in any group.
Conclusion
This study successfully demonstrated the reduction in FAP expression and suppression of tumor volume in sarcoma PDX following the combination therapy of 177Lu-FAPI-46 with Pazopanib.
期刊介绍:
Biomedical Journal publishes 6 peer-reviewed issues per year in all fields of clinical and biomedical sciences for an internationally diverse authorship. Unlike most open access journals, which are free to readers but not authors, Biomedical Journal does not charge for subscription, submission, processing or publication of manuscripts, nor for color reproduction of photographs.
Clinical studies, accounts of clinical trials, biomarker studies, and characterization of human pathogens are within the scope of the journal, as well as basic studies in model species such as Escherichia coli, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, and Mus musculus revealing the function of molecules, cells, and tissues relevant for human health. However, articles on other species can be published if they contribute to our understanding of basic mechanisms of biology.
A highly-cited international editorial board assures timely publication of manuscripts. Reviews on recent progress in biomedical sciences are commissioned by the editors.
