STAT3 phosphorylation at Ser727 and Tyr705 differentially regulates the EMT-MET switch and cancer metastasis

Wei-Hsin Lin et al.

Summary: The research suggests that BM-MSC plays a crucial role in cancer cell dissemination and metastasis in lung cancer models. BM-MSC-induced signaling triggers early dissemination of cancer stem cells and promotes proliferation at secondary sites. Additionally, intercellular signaling regulates the switch between migration and proliferation.

The KRAS-regulated kinome identifies WEE1 and ERK coinhibition as a potential therapeutic strategy in KRAS-mutant pancreatic cancer

J. Nathaniel Diehl et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that depletion of KRAS in KRAS-mutant pancreatic cancer leads to changes in a panel of kinases, with upregulation of certain kinases promoting cancer growth and downregulation of others playing a key role in KRAS-driven proliferation. Inhibition of upregulated kinases like DDR1 and WEE1 can effectively suppress PDAC growth. Additionally, concurrent inhibition of WEE1 and ERK results in potent growth suppression and enhanced apoptotic death compared to WEE1 inhibition alone.

Targeting Akt in cancer for precision therapy

Hui Hua et al.

Summary: Biomarkers-guided precision therapeutics has revolutionized the clinical development and administration of molecular-targeted anticancer agents. Tailored precision cancer therapy exhibits better response rate compared to unselective treatment. Protein kinases have critical roles in cell signaling, metabolism, proliferation, survival and migration. Aberrant activation of protein kinases is critical for tumor growth and progression. Consequently, protein kinases are key targets for molecular targeted cancer therapy. The serine/threonine kinase Akt is frequently activated in various types of cancer. Activation of Akt promotes tumor progression and drug resistance. Since the first Akt inhibitor was reported in 2000, many Akt inhibitors have been developed and evaluated in either early or late stage of clinical trials, which take advantage of liquid biopsy and genomic or molecular profiling to realize personalized cancer therapy. Two inhibitors, capivasertib and ipatasertib, are being tested in phase III clinical trials for cancer therapy. This article highlights recent progress of Akt signaling pathway, reviews the up-to-date data from clinical studies of Akt inhibitors and discusses the potential biomarkers that may help personalized treatment of cancer with Akt inhibitors. Additionally, it also discusses how Akt may confer the vulnerability of cancer cells to some kinds of anticancer agents.

Therapeutic targeting of STAT3 pathways in pancreatic adenocarcinoma: A systematic review of clinical and preclinical literature

Sarah Peisl et al.

Summary: This review examined therapeutic approaches targeting the GP130/JAK/STAT3 pathway for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Preclinical studies showed promising outcomes, with drugs in this pathway also acting as efficient chemosensitizers. However, there may be publication bias and only a few clinical trials have demonstrated efficacy in patient outcomes.

Targeting PI3K Pathway in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: Rationale and Progress

Siddharth Mehra et al.

Summary: Pancreatic cancer has a low survival rate and strong resistance to treatment, making targeted inhibition of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway crucial for reducing tumor burden and improving survival. Targeted therapy against PI3K signaling has shown significant impact on modulating tumor-stromal-immune interactions within the microenvironment of pancreatic cancer.

Antonios N. Gargalionis et al.

Summary: STAT3 plays a critical role in the development of colorectal cancer by enhancing tumor cell proliferation and growth through inflammatory mechanisms. However, the mechanisms underlying the role of STAT3 in tumor immunity are not fully understood, and STAT3 inhibitors have not yet been widely used in clinical practice.

1,2,4-Oxadiazole Topsentin Analogs with Antiproliferative Activity against Pancreatic Cancer Cells, Targeting GSK3β Kinase

Daniela Carbone et al.

Summary: A new series of topsentin analogs was efficiently synthesized by replacing the central imidazole ring of the natural lead with a 1,2,4-oxadiazole moiety. These compounds demonstrated significant antiproliferative activity against PDAC cells, reducing cell migration and promoting apoptosis. Further experiments suggest that these effects may be mediated through the modulation of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition markers and GSK3 beta phosphorylation.
