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」;2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGB5AHDalo
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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gac17uw24

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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITfFNJmFEL
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQWo4E5HrI
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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA4PGJUW1D
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkmQe57ZjA
（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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpzqqo3Xip
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PXeqPhJWX
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKK4QzwdoR
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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81ZJb85miy
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkJDgtIGuC
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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tA9HRgH3a
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqw8BpV4n3
（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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsVsgXpS0r
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0mQbXtgR7
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwFWyUjjuF
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL3egZoErw
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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbL1tUTa4m
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VRtOepYjF
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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco79ZAYh4J
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bFX87NwtR
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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fmcVV7OnI
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ0iVJk31G
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;2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADyrLH9XGk
相對上，皮膚癌及肺癌的癌細胞較大機會出現PDL1。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoQuQfn4v5
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX2MFtPOMh
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaigwky3Gb
（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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAeo1lszcV
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZZEM7BfAB
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvElc6BDsyS

以下為現今運用在治療中及臨床研究中的抗體整理。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt105aasfRg
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbhCqzaKDg
阻擋PD1的抗體:2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e3shbYfq5
1.Nivolumab (FDA approved)2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKkOoww9mX
2.Pembrolizumab (FDA approved)2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wwMIvcZNF
3.Pidilizumab2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEbFPx1wiQ
4.MEDI-06802130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYRWQPL7Pq

5.REGN28102130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7SNQBwsw3
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3uce39JRp
阻擋PDL1的抗體:2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53C6kh7Z9o
1.Atezolimumab2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqSULPFx4H
2.Durvalumab2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzX4Iixl3M
3.Avelumab2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLoSh3zf1j
4.MDX-11052130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3bMF23RIa
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jsVv3YKJu
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5Ojm7g5qi
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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp28h7WHq5
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnjYi3Lggr
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnPuric8Ae
（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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaVNxabEvc
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl7Og9pZSG
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvmUYE1afD
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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CGLgz4467
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc9tKQDl0P
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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjTsXdE43O
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZTE1lLLsS
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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikaAzwdTFM
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipI88YU5mZ
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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmglaHzZT9t
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxTRoXMTjS
（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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo272Zv0Kl
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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns7fk6a7Rk
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K1FAXxg75
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgQy1GNSLJ
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhlIunfnib
在這裡，我們可以看得出免疫治療的精髓所在。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0aaGOHFFm
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBfmprJgMT
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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf2yARzi4I
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc2MpyObba
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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntpvkgMT72
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCybjnpjuEE
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！2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmMOvyO6jl
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoetTvxVbVR
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil5tpdPZI2
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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5eqHQ46Do
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdXFQp9p58
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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij87mX5qdv
2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP6sUeE6rV
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。2130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBODXNCoOn
