Abstract

Burkitt's lymphoma is a distinct subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma originating from B-cells that is notorious for its aggressive growth and association with immune system impairments, potentially resulting in rapid and fatal outcomes if not addressed promptly. Optimizing the use of Food and Drug Administration-approved medications, such as combining known safe drugs, can lead to time and cost savings. This method holds promise in accelerating the progress of novel treatments, ultimately facilitating swifter access for patients. This study explores the potential of a dual-targeted therapeutic strategy, combining the bruton tyrosine kinase-targeting drug Ibrutinib and the epidermal growth factor receptor/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2-targeting drug Lapatinib. Ramos and Daudi cell lines, well-established models of Burkitt's lymphoma, were used to examine the impact of this combination therapy. The combination of Ibrutinib and Lapatinib inhibited cell proliferation more than using each drug individually. A combination treatment induced apoptosis and caused cell cycle arrest at the S and G2/M phases. This approach is multifaceted in its benefits. It enhances the efficiency of the drug development timeline and maximizes the utility of currently available resources, ensuring a more streamlined and resource-effective research process.

버킷 림프종(Burkitt's lymphoma)은 B-세포에서 발생하는 비호지킨 림프종의 한 형태로, 빠른 성장과 면역계 장애와 관련된 특성으로 인해 약물이 투여되지 않으면 생존율이 감소하거나 나쁜 예후로 이어질 수 있다. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 승인된 약물의 최적 활용, 안전한 약물을 병용하는 방법은 시간과 비용 절감을 가능하게 한다. 이 접근법은 새로운 치료법 개발을 하기 보다는 기존에 FDA 승인된 약물을 적응증이 다른 환자에게 빠르게 접근할 수 있는 가능성을 제공한다. 이 연구는 BTK를 표적으로 하는 이브루티닙(Ibrutinib)과 EGFR/HER2를 표적으로 하는 라파티닙(Lapatinib) 병용 치료 전략의 잠재력을 확인하였다. 버킷 림프종의 잘 알려진 Ramos 및 Daudi 세포주가 이 연구에 활용되어 이 병합 치료의 영향을 밝히는 역할을 하였다. 이브루티닙과 라파티닙의 병용치료가 단일 약물 대비 세포 증식을 상당히 억제하는 것을 보여주었다. 또한 병용 치료가 세포 사멸을 유도하고 S 및 G2/M 단계에서 세포주기 중단을 유발하는 것을 관찰하였다. 이 접근법은 약물 개발 일정을 간소화하는 데 그치지 않고 이미 존재하는 자원의 활용을 극대화하는 것을 의미한다.
