Inhibitors of gelatinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) for the management of hematological malignancies

Sanjib Das et al.

Summary: Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) play significant roles in solid tumor invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis, while their role in hematological malignancies is less understood. Recent studies have shown correlations between gelatinases and hematological malignancies, leading to the development of potential inhibitors for these conditions.

Eg5 targeting agents: From new anti-mitotic based inhibitor discovery to cancer therapy and resistance

Isabel Garcia-Saez et al.

Summary: Eg5, a motor protein involved in mitotic spindle formation, has attracted interest as a potential target for cancer chemotherapy. While most inhibitors have shown limited efficacy, one inhibitor, Arry-520, has demonstrated clinical effectiveness in multiple myeloma patients and sparked new research trends including alternative binding sites and drug synergy. The field faces challenges in drug resistance development and improving therapeutic applications for Eg5 inhibitors.

Cell death in head and neck cancer pathogenesis and treatment

Martina Raudenska et al.

Summary: Many cancer therapies target apoptosis in cancer cells, but the presence of oncogenic alterations and tumor microenvironment composition limit their efficacy. There are about 10 different cell death subroutines that cancer cells cannot avoid, highlighting the need for individualized therapy. Understanding the molecular heterogeneity of tumors and their cell death pathways is crucial for improving treatment response.

Future prospects for mitosis-targeted antitumor therapies

Alfonso Serrano-del Valle et al.

Summary: Developing new therapies targeting cell cycle regulation and mitosis has shown potential, despite many being discontinued during clinical trials. Future efforts could focus on increasing cell death signals, targeting senescent cells, and promoting antitumor immune response to enhance the efficacy of these treatments.
