科普專欄–薯不揀單 - 深入淺出–免疫治療(Immunotherapy)手段醫治癌症

以免疫治療(Immunotherapy)手段醫治癌症，絕對是人類在醫學界踏出的「月球一小步」;2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1OwsfjgMu
2018年的醫學諾貝爾得獎者，亦是因為對免疫治療方面作出了無比重要的貢獻因而獲獎。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ3gYIQxCP

對比傳統的化療，免疫治療不但不會引起脫髮等副作用，病人的存活率更會比傳統化療的顯著為長，但略為遺憾的是並不是所有人及所有的癌症也能從免疫治療中獲益。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLBv2VtZ1q
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ohqfhz2Oi
今次的深入淺出，將會為大家講解免疫治療的原理及解釋箇中的好處。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3zdOX6FGG

（圖1）正常細胞(Normal Cell)進行繁殖的時候，無可避免會出現DNA變異。我們的細胞雖有著完善的機制可即時修正錯誤，但隨著年紀歲數的增長，修正DNA錯誤的效率亦會相對減低，最終造就DNA出現變異。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfrDPnZPsj
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48jokOl4Ti
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzMLnPoYSz
而當細胞DNA出現變異後，我們的免疫細胞T cell會將其視作為外來物，把變異細胞殲滅。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NZB7eKtPq
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPinrMh3WfB
可是，若然變異細胞發展出躲避免疫系統的機制，而又累積一定程度的基因變異，便會獲得無驅無束般繁殖的能力，形成腫瘤。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVa18TkO1E
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTBPQi9uhr
（圖2）癌細胞躲避免疫系統機制的方法有很多種，較為常見的是PD1（Programmed cell death protein1)系統。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXqr83EuLc
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5ASUdupyK
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw1oM552R9
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvUp8n5im1
我們的T cell會依靠癌細胞與別不同的蛋白質（Neoantigen)來作出辨認，並將變異細胞殲滅。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHudHf9yt2i
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezhmjqS0hD
但是若果變異細胞的表面產生名為PDL1的蛋白質，它便能夠與T Cell的PD1作出合併，因此觸發一系列的機制，大幅度銳弱T cell殺滅變異細胞的能力，導致T cell再也不能消滅自己。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cTyvTDMUo
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJGLdHT45U
形象化的來說，若果癌細胞穿上「我愛警察」的衣服（PDL1)後，擁有PD1警棍的黑警便會立刻手軟，放生癌細胞離開，讓癌細胞繼續任意妄為。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TYBanPD6m
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1aPriTaa9
換句話說，癌細胞只要能夠產生PDL1，就能夠逃避T cell的追捕及殺滅;2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbAgN49Mdv
相對上，皮膚癌及肺癌的癌細胞較大機會出現PDL1。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4ZTRO1X5n
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc0E9Ir0lB
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvR05UDTpI
（圖3）既然了解得到PDL1/PD1的關係，那麼對付的方法顯然變得非常簡單，只要把對應的抗體送到體內，阻截PDL1及PD1合併便可。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUi6EEPIp2

2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHnTtOwQu9

以下為現今運用在治療中及臨床研究中的抗體整理。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4L0nKoCru
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHM59CA0ul
阻擋PD1的抗體:2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIMDqoVHky
1.Nivolumab (FDA approved)2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QHXkIWzrK
2.Pembrolizumab (FDA approved)2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55j5EqG7W3
3.Pidilizumab2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1okpzn3a4G
4.MEDI-06802147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoulnTDO2lT
4.PDR0012147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6EnI0FyzS
5.REGN28102147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcmGOHXDSt
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTuxj0RMrE
阻擋PDL1的抗體:2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe61p3qGi3D
1.Atezolimumab2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf5E2bMuSB
2.Durvalumab2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HfM6ZhcjV
3.Avelumab2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq4UYYKmVH
4.MDX-11052147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG9z03zVNT
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz22Y9PPr6c
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmeCOktBgb
簡單來說，就是利用抗體來阻截PD1/PDL1，促使癌細胞無法逃避免疫細胞的追捕，被迫接收免疫細胞的制裁。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pSEzZK4B7
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vsizHyttB
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLi77s56pr
（圖4）為突顯Immunotherapy（免疫系統治療）的好處，我們可以找一個Chemotherapy(化療)的例子作出比較。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntNBqWHdI5
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMBihS1DzE
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQIjoiOq48
針對癌細胞出現X變異，我們便用上針對X變異的化療藥物醫治。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28YaarD201
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXts3tg6O6
在初期，此方法可能會有奇效，但是隨著時間推進，沒有死去的話癌細胞便會發展出不同抗藥機制，導致藥物失效。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeol9QopGM
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvDLmhYGA1
譬如說，X變異變成Y變異，導致只針對X變異的藥物再也沒能針對自己。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48Gox6ntSe
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPhGcQnCzn
又或者，癌細胞會產生蛋白質將藥物帶出細胞外，現今有著不同真實例子顯示出還有各種不同的機制，在這裡不便詳列。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSQQX6EyZs
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iVTg0GHvg
（圖5）但是，在免疫系統治療方面來說，無論癌細胞如何變異也好，它們始終亦會被T cell界定為外來之物，成為被殲滅的目標。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRQW1nfID4
甚之乎，越多的變異反而會更容易令T cell被認出為外來之物，更易被成為T cell的目標。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ453oTfWxQK
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lBaK0z9qo
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LecIrRnNA
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDMVpL5uvJ
在這裡，我們可以看得出免疫治療的精髓所在。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1fPTGhMrs
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1VFgqnFaQ
免疫治療的方針並不是在針對癌細胞自身，而是針對癌細胞逃避免疫系統細胞的機制。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJl4qaRtu2
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsmtzfWkmM
在此，我們只是讓免疫系統回復正常運作，糾正它們懂得把癌細胞辨認為外來物，並把外來物消除。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvxkR18EpC
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlcDJkKel2
這方法根本上沒有額外改動身體的機制，有部份病人可能會出現輕微作嘔感覺，但大部份人士並不會遭受脫髮、食慾不振、手軟腳軟、血球細胞出現問題等等會在化療時候遭受得到的副作用！2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVR8mO6gwC
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMObVZW4kB0
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHpR0g3Xhf
只不過的是，普遍來說一整個免疫治療至少需要美金150,000才能進行，而且若然癌細胞並沒有產生大量PDL1的話，這方法亦不會太過有效。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbX2PiLqhx
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriP86jW4NA
對此，現時科學家亦研發出不同手段針對這個問題，若然大家對這話題有興趣的話，請正評以及回覆此Post，我會視乎反應寫出下集講解現時免疫治療的最新發展、成果及所面對著的問題。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BzKz5gyNq
2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6KLv82GAB
希望大家看完這篇文章後，會領略得到免疫治療的原理及與化療手段的根本性分別。2147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVo6s4bvVd
