Introduction: [177Lu]Lutetium (Lu)-oxodotreotide is a radiopharmaceutical drug used as peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) for somatostatin receptor-expressing neuroendocrine neoplasms. It provides an additional effective alternative treatment for these rare cancers. Although well tolerated, its safety profile must continue to be characterized to support its use as a first-line treatment or for additional cycles. This study aims to evaluate factors associated with the occurrence of [177Lu]Lu-oxodotreotide induced short-term toxicity. Materials and Methods: A retrospective observational monocentric study was carried out from July 2013 to October 2021. Inclusion criteria were defined as follows: patients who received at least four cycles of [177Lu]Lu-oxodotreotide and were followed up for 6 months after the last injection. Graduated toxicity was defined using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events 5.0. Cox regression was used in the analysis. Results: Forty patients were included. The most frequent toxicities occurred during the first cycle and were graded as G1 or G2. As expected, toxicities were predominantly hematological and hepatic, with incomplete reversibility after each cycle. The following factors were significantly related to the occurrence of hematological or hepatic toxicity during PRRT: gastrointestinal primary tumor diagnosis, bone metastases, peritoneal metastases, pancreatic metastases or pulmonary metastases, and high tumor grade. Conclusion: Knowledge and consideration of these factors in adjusting [177Lu]Lu-oxodotreotide treatment regimen could help prevent or reduce the severity of these toxicities. Further studies are still warranted to refine these results and improve treatment management.

Purpose: The study aims to explore the roles and underlying mechanisms of long noncoding RNAs endogenous bornavirus-like nucleoprotein (lncRNA EBLN3P) in colon cancer, emphasizing the potential impact of these insights on advancing colon cancer treatment strategies. By shedding light on lncRNA EBLN3P's involvement, this research could contribute to the development of novel therapeutic approaches, enhancing the efficacy of interventions for colon cancer patients. Methods: We employed quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to assess the levels of lncRNA EBLN3P, zinc finger protein (ZFP91), and miR-519d-3p, alongside CCK-8 and EdU assays for cell proliferation, flow cytometry for apoptosis, and Transwell and wound healing assays for migration and invasion. The in vivo function of lncRNA EBLN3P was investigated through a xenograft model, and protein levels were evaluated via Western blot analysis. Results: LncRNA EBLN3P was found to be upregulated in colon cancer tissues and cells, promoting cell proliferation and metastasis while inhibiting apoptosis. Downregulation of lncRNA EBLN3P reduced tumor size, volume, and weight in a mouse model. MiR-519d-3p, which negatively interacts with lncRNA EBLN3P, was found to be downregulated in colon cancer tissues and cell lines. Its upregulation hindered cancer cell proliferation and metastasis while enhancing apoptosis. ZFP91, a binding partner of miR-519d-3p, was upregulated in colon cancer and inversely related to miR-519d-3p levels. Rescue experiments indicated that the effects of lncRNA EBLN3P silencing could be reversed by miR-519d-3p suppression, but were mitigated by ZFP91 downregulation. Conclusion: LncRNA EBLN3P facilitates colon cancer progression via the miR-519d-3p/ZFP91 axis, presenting a novel understanding of lncRNA EBLN3P's role and offering potential therapeutic insights for colon cancer treatment. This study fills a critical gap by linking lncRNA EBLN3P with the miR-519d-3p/ZFP91 axis in the context of colon cancer, thereby broadening our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying colon cancer progression.
