IRIS Institutional Research Information System - AIR Archivio Istituzionale della Ricerca
IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, progetti, pubblicazioni, attività) adottato dall'Università degli Studi di Milano.
AIR nasce in UNIMI nel 2006 con lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare e conservare le informazioni sulla produzione scientifica dell'Università degli Studi di Milano e costituisce di fatto l'Anagrafe della ricerca dell'Ateneo.
EnglishTemozolomide is an oral alkylating agent used for treating several cancers including glioblastoma and melanoma. Promising, albeit limited, activity and efficacy of temozolomide have been reported in pretreated patients with metastatic colorectal cancer bearing MGMT promoter methylation. MGMT silencing and proficiency of the mismatch repair system were considered the major predictive biomarkers of sensitivity to temozolomide. Refinement of established biomarkers and integration with those related to alteration in specific DNA-damage response pathways such as base excision repair are promising strategies for selecting metastatic colorectal patients to this old drug with several potential novel applications. Then, mounting preclinical and clinical observations have linked acquired resistance to temozolomide to emergence of alterations in the mismatch repair system. Whilst accounting for tumor cells capability of escaping apoptosis when exposed to temozolomide, inactivation of key mismatch-repair proteins will ultimately lead to increasing tumor mutational burden. This drug-induced mismatch deficient-like phenotype is being exploited in proof-of-concept trials combining temozolomide and immune checkpoint inhibitors in metastatic colorectal cancer.
