Abstract

Systemic abrogation of TGF‑β signaling results in tumor reduction through cytotoxic T lymphocytes activity in a mouse model. The administration of polysaccharide‑Kureha (PSK) into tumor‑bearing mice also showed tumor regression with reduced TGF‑β. However, there have been no studies regarding the PSK administration to cancer patients and the association with plasma TGF‑β. PSK (3 g/day) was administered as a neoadjuvant therapy for 2 weeks before surgery. In total, 31 advanced gastric cancer (AGC) patients were randomly assigned to group A (no neoadjuvant PSK; n=14) or B (neoadjuvant PSK therapy; n=17). Plasma TGF‑β was measured pre‑ and postoperatively. The allocation factors were clinical stage (cStage) and gender. Plasma TGF‑β ranged from 1.85‑43.5 ng/ml (average, 9.50 ng/ml) in AGC, and 12 patients (38.7%) had a high value, >7.0 ng/ml. These patients were largely composed of poorly‑differentiated adenocarcinoma with pathological stage III/IV. All the six elevated cases in group B showed a significant reduction of plasma TGF‑β (from 21.6 to 4.5 ng/ml, on average), whereas this was not exhibited in group A. The cases within the normal limits of TGF‑β remained unchanged irrespective of PSK treatment. Analysis of variance showed a statistically significant reduction in the difference of plasma TGF‑β between groups A and B (P=0.019). PSK reduced the plasma TGF‑β in AGC patients when the levels were initially high. The clinical advantage of PSK may, however, be restricted to specific histological types of AGC. Perioperative suppression of TGF‑β by PSK may antagonize cancer immune evasion and improve patient prognosis in cases of AGC.
