Objective:L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) exhibits oncogenic activity in tumors. However, the link between L1CAM and the tumor microenvironment remains poorly understood in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In this study, we investigated how L1CAM expression in ESCC affects the oncogenic characteristics of tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment. Methods:Human ESCC samples were collected, and the mRNA and protein levels of L1CAM were examined by real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry. Overexpression and knockdown gene expression assays were used for mechanistic studies. The cell proliferation and cell cycle were measured with CCK-8 assays and flow cytometry. Cell migration and invasion ability were measured with Transwell assays. Multiplex bead-based assays were performed to identity the factors downstream of L1CAM. Xenograft studies were performed in nude mice to evaluate the effects of L1CAM on tumor growth and regulatory T cell (Treg) recruitment. Results:L1CAM expression was significantly elevated in ESCC tissues (P < 0.001) and correlated with poorer prognosis (P < 0.05). Ablation of L1CAM in ESCC cells inhibited tumor growth and migration, and increased tumor cell apoptosis (P < 0.05). In the tumor microenvironment, L1CAM expression correlated with Treg infiltration in ESCC by affecting CCL22 secretion. Mechanistically, L1CAM facilitated CCL22 expression by activating the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway. Furthermore, CCL22 promoted Treg recruitment to the tumor site; the Tregs then secreted TGF-β, which in turn promoted L1CAM expression via Smad2/3 in a positive feedback loop. Conclusions:Our findings provide new insight into the mechanism of immune evasion mediated by L1CAM, suggesting that targeting L1CAM-CCL22-TGF-β crosstalk between tumor cells and Tregs may offer a unique means to improve treatment of patients with ESCC.

抗肿瘤药物在治疗疾病的同时,也可能会对医疗工作者带来健康风险。目前对于抗肿瘤药物暴露防护多针对静脉药物配置中心(pharmacy intravenous admixture services,PIVAS)制定,并未对如护理人员、药物运输人员、口服药物调配人员等相关人员的抗肿瘤药物暴露防护进行要求。因此,大量医务人员可能处于抗肿瘤药物暴露的风险之中。正确理解暴露的风险是加强防护的首要工作。本文拟通过对抗肿瘤药物暴露后危害、防范措施等方面进行综述,特别对非配置环节的防护要求进行了梳理,以期对医务人员抗肿瘤药物
