Br J Cancer: Analysis of the efficacy of CDK4/6 inhibitors in preclinical models of malignant pleural mesothelioma

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive, locally aggressive, and incurable pleural malignant tumor.
Its incidence is related to exposure to asbestos at work
.

Although many countries have banned the use of asbestos, asbestos insulated buildings are still spread all over the world, and some countries are still manufacturing and using large amounts of asbestos

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive, locally aggressive, and incurable pleural malignant tumor.

Previous studies have shown that genetic mutations in BAP1 and other cancer susceptibility genes (such as PALB2, BRCA2, CHEK2, MLH1, etc.
) have been found in about 10-15% of MPM patients
.

There are currently limited treatment options for patients with advanced MPM
.

Cisplatin combined with pemetrexed has become the standard treatment strategy for patients with advanced MPM

Adding bevacizumab to chemotherapy can moderately improve overall survival, but not all countries adopt this treatment strategy

This study aims to reveal the anti-tumor efficacy of CDK4/6 inhibitors in preclinical models of MPM and to study their potential in the treatment of MPM
.

The researchers also assessed the prognostic impact of CDK4 or CDK6 overexpression in primary tumors of MPM patients by analyzing publicly available MPM transcriptome data

This study aims to reveal the anti-tumor efficacy of CDK4/6 inhibitors in preclinical models of MPM and to study their potential in the treatment of MPM

All in all, the results of the study revealed that CDK4/6 inhibitors mainly reduce the proliferation of MPM cells by promoting cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase and promoting cell senescence
.

This preclinical study also provides certain theoretical evidence for clinical evaluation of the efficacy of CDK4/6 inhibitors on MPM
