摘要: 源自神经上皮的肿瘤统称为脑胶质瘤,占颅脑肿瘤的40%~50%,是最常见的原发性颅内肿瘤。年发病率为3~8人/10万人。尼妥珠单抗是一种人源化单克隆抗体,可特异性结合人表皮生长因子受体,阻断受体激活。其放射增敏能力的证据已得到广泛评估。本文整合了已发表的关于尼妥珠单抗在成人和儿童人群中结合放疗或放化疗治疗神经胶质瘤的作用的研究结果。首先,回顾了尼妥珠单抗的作用机制及其目前在包含放疗和化放疗的临床试验中的应用。其次,给出了在实验环境中驱动尼妥珠单抗放射增敏的潜在机制的综合解释。最后,基于尼妥珠单抗有利的毒性特征,提出了表皮生长因子受体靶向结合放疗方案的未来方向。希望这篇综述可以为合理设计尼妥珠单抗作为胶质瘤治疗的新方法提供进一步的见解。
Abstract: Tumors originating from neuroepithelium are collectively called gliomas, accounting for 40%~50% of brain tumors, and are the most common primary intracranial tumors. The annual incidence rate is 3~8 people/100,000 people. Nimotuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody, which can specifically bind to human epidermal growth factor receptor and block its activation. The evidence of its radiosensitizing ability has been widely evaluated. This paper integrates the published research results about the effect of nimotuzumab combined with radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of glioma in adults and children. Firstly, the mechanism of nimotuzumab and its current application in clinical trials including radiotherapy and chemotherapy were reviewed. Secondly, a comprehensive explanation of the potential mechanism driving nimotuzumab radiosensitization in the experimental environment is given. Finally, based on the favorable toxicity characteristics of nimotuzumab, the future direction of targeted combination of epidermal growth factor receptor and radiotherapy was put forward. It is hoped that this review can provide further insights for the rational design of nimotuzumab as a new treatment for glioma.
