Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent medicine, specifically relating to a method, system, and device for decision-making in the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma based on the IDH1 / 2 genotype. Background Technology
[0002] Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a highly aggressive primary malignant liver tumor with a rising global incidence, but limited treatment options. The tumor microenvironment (TME) of ICC is typically characterized by dysfunctional CD8+ cells. + Characterized by T cells, abundant suppressive myeloid cell populations, and dense pro-fibrotic stroma, these factors may limit the effectiveness of immunotherapy.
[0003] Currently, there are no effective biomarkers in clinical practice that can predict which patients will respond to immunotherapy. This results in some patients not benefiting even after long-term treatment, wasting valuable treatment windows and creating a significant medical and economic burden. Therefore, screening for biomarkers that can predict the effectiveness of immunotherapy for cholangiocarcinoma is crucial in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0050] The specific experimental methods and results of this application are as follows: I. Experimental Methods 1. Cell lines and culture Mouse ICC cell lines 425-ICC and 254-ICC (Idh) wt p53 – / – / Kras G12D ), 2205-ICC and 2275-ICC (Idh1) R132C / Kras G12D ) and SS49-ICC (Idh2 R172K / Kras G12DAll cells were derived from previously described genetically engineered mouse models. Specifically, 425-ICC and 254-ICC cells were derived from hybrid mice of C57 / BL6 and FVB mice; 2205-ICC and SS49-ICC cells were derived from hybrid mice of C57 / BL6 and 129S mice. Cells were cultured in DMEM or RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin-streptomycin, and incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. Cell identification and mycoplasma detection were performed before in vivo use.
[0051] 2. In vitro irradiation and RNA sequencing analysis ICC cells were irradiated using a 225 kV X-ray apparatus (XRad225, Precision X-ray). In clonogenic assays, cells received single irradiations of 2, 4, 6, or 8 Gy. Irradiated cells were seeded at extremely low dilutions (1:20–1:2000), and clones containing at least 50 cells were stained after 10–12 days to assess clonogenic viability. Viability fractions were calculated relative to the unirradiated control group.
[0052] For RNA sequencing analysis, all cells received a single 8 Gy irradiation. Twenty-four hours later, total RNA was extracted from ICC cells using a Qiagen kit. RNA sequencing was performed by Novogene. Raw RNA-seq reads were aligned to the mouse reference genome GRCm39 using STAR v2.7.9a software with default parameters. Gene-level read counts were quantified using featureCounts v2.0.1 and Ensembl annotation (GRCm39.107). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using DESeq2 v1.48.2, with significance defined as p-value < 0.05 and |log2(FC)| > 1.5. Functional enrichment analysis of DEGs was performed using clusterProfiler v4.16.0, including gene ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, as well as gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA).
[0053] 3. In-situ ICC model All animal experiments were approved by the Massachusetts General Hospital Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) (Protocol No.: 2021N000137). We used 6- to 8-week-old immunocompetent F1 generation mice (Charles River Laboratory). 1 × 10 6One ICC cell was mixed with Matrigel at a 1:1 ratio and injected into the left lobe of the mouse liver to establish an orthotopic tumor model. The mice were anesthetized with isoflurane, and tumor growth was monitored every 3 days using high-frequency ultrasound. Researchers were unaware of the group assignments during tumor measurement and endpoint assessment.
[0054] 4. Internal radiation therapy When the tumor diameter reaches 4-5 mm, fractionated photon radiotherapy (SBRT) is used: mice are irradiated with 8 Gy × 3 for 3 consecutive days using a 320 kV X-RAD irradiator. A 15 mm collimated field is used to irradiate the tumor while the whole body is shielded. Conventional radiotherapy (CONV-RT) is performed under the same irradiation conditions, with a single 15 Gy photon beam at a dose rate of 3.52 Gy / min. FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) uses a 228 MeV dual-scatter beam to irradiate the tumor with a proton beam at an ultra-high dose rate (~110-127 Gy / s). The tumor receives a single 15 Gy dose.
[0055] The dosimetry results were validated using EBT3 film and an ionization chamber. A dose of 15 Gy was chosen based on the technical feasibility of FLASH-RT and to simulate high-dose irradiation in order to assess stromal and systemic effects under conditions compatible with FLASH-RT therapy.
[0056] 5. Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) Anti-PD-1 (clone RMP1-14, BioXcell, catalog number: BE0146) and anti-CTLA-4 (clone 9D9, BioXcell, catalog number: BE0164) antibodies (BioXCell) were administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 10 mg / kg every 3 days. For the 8 Gy × 3 radiotherapy regimen, immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) was initiated on the day of the last radiotherapy and continued for 5 fractions. For single radiotherapy, 3 doses of antibodies were administered after radiotherapy. Control group mice received isotype-matched IgG (BioXCell).
[0057] 6. Flow cytometry Tumor tissue was collected on day 8 after the start of radiotherapy. Single-cell suspensions were prepared and stimulated with an activation mixture containing brefeldin A for 4 hours, followed by intracellular staining. Cell staining was used to detect CD45, CD3, CD4, CD8, Ki-67, granzyme B, PD-1, TIM-3, CD11b, Ly6C, Ly6G, F4 / 80, CD206, CD80, CD86, TNF-α, and IFN-γ.
[0058] Data were acquired using a flow cytometer and analyzed using FlowJo software.
[0059] 7. Immunofluorescence and HE analysis 5 μm thick paraffin-embedded sections were stained, and endothelial cells were detected using CD31 (DIA-310, clone SZ31), myofibroblasts using α-SMA (C6198, clone 1A4), and apoptotic cells using type I collagen (ab21286) and cleavage caspase-3 (CST 9664S, clone 5A1E). All secondary antibodies were purchased from Jackson ImmunoResearch. "Tumor adjacent to spleen" was defined as the area likely to be irradiated, immediately adjacent to the left lobe of the liver. "Proximal tumor adjacent to liver" included tissue within the three central hepatic lobule veins at the tumor margin, while "distal tumor adjacent to liver" was defined as the area 5–6 mm from the tumor margin, within the initial irradiation field. Quantitative analysis was performed on five random high-power fields of each tumor and its adjacent liver and spleen using QuPath software. Vascular area and pericyte coverage were expressed as a percentage of tissue area.
[0060] 8. Liver injury and hematological assessment Peripheral blood was collected before treatment and on day 4 (complete blood count) and day 8 (AST, ALT) after radiotherapy. Serum transaminase levels were measured using standard enzymatic methods.
[0061] 9. Transfer Assessment Lung metastases were counted during autopsy through gross examination. The presence or absence of pleural effusion, ascites, and lymph node metastasis were recorded as indicators of systemic progression.
[0062] 10. Cohort analysis of patients with biliary tract cancer This study analyzed a cohort of 103 patients with biliary tract cancer treated at Shandong Cancer Hospital in China. Genomic data were obtained using next-generation sequencing. Clinical outcomes were stratified according to IDH1 / 2 mutation status (Table 1). This study was approved by the institutional ethics committee (SDTHEC202601010), exempting the patient from informed consent requirements. Tumor response was assessed using RECIST 1.1 criteria.
[0063] Table 1 Clinical Patient Information
[0064] 11. Statistical Analysis The sample size was based on prior experience with the in situ ICC model and had sufficient statistical power to detect differences in tumor volume ≥40% (α=0.05). Data are expressed as mean ± standard error (SEM) unless otherwise stated. Survival analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank tests. Hazard ratios were calculated using the Cox proportional hazards model. Comparisons between two groups were performed using Student's t-test or Mann-Whitney U test, depending on the circumstances. Comparisons among multiple groups were performed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey correction. Due to the exploratory nature of the clinical analysis, no multiple comparison correction was performed. All tests were two-tailed. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
[0065] II. Experimental Results 1. Genotype is associated with response to RT / ICB treatment in in situ ICC models. To investigate whether tumor genotype affects the efficacy of radiotherapy (RT) and dual immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), we first evaluated treatment responses in three homologous mouse ICC models representing different molecular subtypes: Idh1 / 2 wild-type (425), Idh2 mutant (SS49), and Idh1 mutant (2205). Figure 2 In the in situ Idh2 mutant model, ICB slightly delayed tumor growth, while ICB combined with hypofractionated radiotherapy (XRT, 8 Gy × 3) significantly inhibited tumor growth and improved survival, superior to either therapy alone. Figure 2 A). Idh1 / 2 wild-type ICC has intrinsic resistance to ICB treatment ( Figure 2 B). In this model, a combined radiotherapy regimen is required to control the tumor, while the addition of ICB significantly enhances the treatment effect. In Idh1 mutant ICC, only ICB significantly inhibited tumor growth, while RT and RT+ICB failed to inhibit tumor growth, but the combination of the two did not bring any additional benefit. Figure 2 C). Evaluation of distant metastasis and complications showed that RT / ICB reduced the incidence of distant metastasis and pleural effusion only in the Idh2 mutant ICC model, while in the Idh1 mutant ICC model, only ICB reduced the incidence of distant metastasis and pleural effusion. These findings suggest that treatment sensitivity is genotype-dependent, and the 425 tumors represent an ICB-resistant environment in which RT is required for ICB immunotherapy to be effective. Figure 3 ).
[0066] 2. Photon irradiation-induced genotype-dependent immunomodulatory transcriptional program To determine whether tumor genotype influences radiotherapy-induced immune signaling pathways, we performed RNA sequencing on Idh1 / 2 wild-type and Idh2 mutant ICC cells after radiotherapy (8 Gy). In Idh1 / 2 wild-type cells, radiotherapy induced enrichment of chemokines and cytoplasmic DNA sensing, consistent with activation of innate immune programs. RT also upregulated transcripts associated with compensatory immune regulatory signals, including Ccl2, Ccl7, Havcr2 (TIM-3), and Adora2a, suggesting the induction of inversely regulated myeloid recruitment and depletion pathways. Conversely, Idh2 mutant ICC cells showed enrichment of NF-κB, TNF-α, and TGF-β-related signaling pathways after photon irradiation, while IL-2 production-related transcripts were reduced compared to Idh1 / 2 wild-type ICC cells. These results suggest that tumor genotype determines RT-induced immune-matrix signaling, thereby influencing the dependence of ICC cells on RT-mediated immune initiation. Figure 4 , Figure 5 ).
[0067] 3. RT can reshape the immune tumor microenvironment of ICC and induce CD8. + T cell expansion and reduction of the spread of drug-resistant genotypes. To elucidate the cellular immune mechanism by which radiotherapy combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors (RT-ICBs) exerts therapeutic effects in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), we analyzed the immune tumor microenvironment (TME) of Idh2-mutant tumors by flow cytometry 8 days after the start of treatment. Figure 6 Compared with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICBs) alone, RT combined with ICBs can increase intratumoral CD8. + T cell infiltration and proliferation enhance dendritic cell (DC) activation (CD80). + CD86 + It also increased the proportion of M1 / M2 tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs); furthermore, compared with the control group, the combined use of PD-1 / CTLA-4 dual immune checkpoint inhibitors after RT increased intratumoral Ki67. + Proliferation and activation of CD8 + The number of T cells.
[0068] Importantly, in these drug-resistant models, RT / ICB treatment significantly reduced the lung metastasis burden at this stage, indicating that RT-induced immune reprogramming not only enhances local tumor control but also inhibits systemic spread. These findings suggest that RT can convert ICB-resistant tumors into an immune-allowed state, characterized by CD8+. + T cell proliferation and effector differentiation are enhanced, while metastasis and diffusion are reduced.
[0069] 4. FLASH-RT can reduce the toxicity caused by high-dose radiotherapy and restore the therapeutic effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Next, we tested whether ultra-high dose-rate proton FLASH-RT (15 Gy per dose) improved treatment efficacy compared to CONV-RT (15 Gy per dose) in an Idh1 / 2 wild-type orthotopic ICC model resistant to both ICB and RT. Both CONV-RT and proton FLASH-RT significantly delayed tumor growth, but due to distant metastasis progression, they did not improve overall survival compared to the IgG control group. Compared to RT alone, both CONV-RT / ICB and FLASH-RT / ICB combination therapy significantly enhanced tumor suppression. Figure 7 Importantly, no statistically significant difference was observed between CONV-RT / ICB and FLASH-RT / ICB in terms of primary tumor growth inhibition. These results suggest that the limitation of high-dose radiotherapy in this model is not due to insufficient tumor cytotoxicity, but rather to adverse effects on the tumor microenvironment and host tissues. However, FLASH-RT / ICB significantly improved overall survival compared to conventional radiotherapy / immune checkpoint blockade (CONV-RT / ICB). This indicates that the survival benefit mediated by FLASH-RT is not entirely attributable to tumor cell reduction. Importantly, FLASH-RT better preserved the integrity of normal tissues compared to CONV-RT, as evidenced by reduced serum transaminase levels and decreased caspase-3 staining in the tumor-adjacent liver and spleen. These results suggest that FLASH-RT / ICB improves the therapeutic index while maintaining or enhancing anti-tumor immunotherapy efficacy. Importantly, despite similar primary tumor control, differences in survival rates were observed, suggesting that factors influencing survival are systemic and microenvironmental mechanisms, rather than inherent tumor cytotoxicity. Figure 8-10 ).
[0070] 5. FLASH-RT combined with ICB can enhance CD8 + T cell proliferation and effector differentiation Next, we repeated the experiment and performed flow cytometry analysis 8 days after treatment to investigate the tumor-infiltrating immune cell population. In this time-matched experiment, both the FLASH-RT / ICB group and the CONV-RT / ICB group significantly inhibited tumor growth compared to the IgG group (p<0.001). Figure 11 ), and lung metastasis was significantly suppressed in the FLASH-RT / ICB group ( Figure 12 Furthermore, the FLASH-RT group experienced a smaller degree of weight loss than the CONV-RT group. Figure 13 Flow cytometry analysis of ICC tissue showed that RT / ICB increased intratumoral CD8. +T cell infiltration and proliferation.
[0071] However, in the cold tumor Idh1 / 2 wild-type ICC model, FLASH-RT / ICB treatment induced CD8+ oxidase activity. + T cell frequency, Ki67 + Proliferative CD8 + T cells, granzyme B + Effect CD8 + T cells and the CD8 / CD4 ratio are elevated, while PD-1 is elevated. + TIM-3 + Exhaustion CD8 + T cell reduction. Furthermore, FLASH-RT / ICB treatment also increased CD80. + CD86 + The frequency of activated dendritic cells (DCs) and the M1 / M2 tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) ratio were increased, and the number of monocyte-derived myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) was reduced. These immune changes were more significant than with CONV-RT / ICB treatment. These data collectively suggest that, in the context of dual CTLA-4 / PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade therapy, FLASH-RT, compared with conventional radiotherapy, significantly enhances CD8+ immune function. + Effector cell differentiation and reduction of exhaustion markers are associated with ( Figure 14-15 ).
[0072] 6. FLASH-RT can reshape the pro-fibrotic ICC matrix and reduce pro-fibrotic signal transduction. Furthermore, we analyzed vascular and fibrotic changes in ICC tissue collected on day 8 post-radiotherapy using immunofluorescence (IF). Tumor vascular area slightly increased after CONV-RT / IgG treatment, but decreased after FLASH-RT / ICB treatment (p<0.05). However, the proportion of mature (pericylloid) vessels did not change significantly. Histological analysis also showed that CONV-RT increased fibroblast activation and collagen deposition in the liver adjacent to the tumor, consistent with radiation-induced wound healing responses. Conversely, FLASH-RT significantly reduced myofibroblast (α-SMA) activity. + The study results indicate that FLASH-RT can attenuate the radiation-induced stromal proliferative remodeling induced by CONV-RT, while maintaining a mature tumor vascular system and preserving antitumor immunity, thereby potentially improving the migration and effector function of immune cells within the immunotumor microenvironment (TME). These findings suggest that the therapeutic index of combined radiotherapy / immune checkpoint blockade in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) may depend on the balance between immune activation and radiation-induced stromal and vascular remodeling. Figure 16In the IDH2 mutant ICC mouse model, regardless of the radiotherapy modality received, combined immunotherapy resulted in a better survival benefit. Figure 17 ).
[0073] 7. Retrospective clinical cohort studies support a genotype-dependent pattern. Radiation therapy and anti-CTLA-4 immune checkpoint blockade therapy are not standard treatments for cholangiocarcinoma. To better understand preclinical study results, we analyzed clinical response data from 103 patients with cholangiocarcinoma from the same institution.
[0074] Compared with IDH1 / 2 wild-type ICC patients (n=40), patients with IDH1 mutant tumors (n=6) had longer overall response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS), but no extended overall survival. In IDH1 / 2 wild-type patients receiving chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy, compared with chemotherapy or immunotherapy alone, combined radiotherapy significantly prolonged median progression-free survival (PFS) (10.5 months vs. 5.0 months; HR=0.39, 95% CI: 0.17–0.89, p=0.006), and showed a non-significant trend toward prolonged overall survival (OS) (29.0 months vs. 13.0 months; HR=0.41, 95% CI: 0.13–1.23, p=0.09) (n=15 per group).
