Fundamental insights into the interaction between telomerase/TERT and intracellular signaling pathways

Somayyeh Ghareghomi et al.

Summary: Telomerase activity is crucial for cancer cells, providing unrestricted proliferation and cellular immortality by maintaining telomeres. Recent studies have shown the interaction of telomerase with various intracellular signaling pathways, playing roles in inflammation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, tumor invasion and metastasis. The understanding of TERT function and interactions in tumor cells may lead to novel therapeutic approaches.

The Role of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) in Endometrial Cancer

Gunter Emons et al.

Summary: Endometrial cancer expresses GnRH and its receptor, which can regulate proliferation, the cell cycle, and apoptosis. GnRH agonists are used in fertility preserving therapy for early EC, but show limited activity in advanced or recurrent EC. Further clinical trials exploring the GnRH-system in EC may be beneficial.

Androgen Receptor-Dependent Mechanisms Mediating Drug Resistance in Prostate Cancer

Marzieh Ehsani et al.

Summary: Prostate cancer can develop resistance to hormone treatment and chemotherapy, mainly due to the androgen receptor (AR). There are genomic and non-genomic signaling bypass mechanisms that tumor cells may develop to escape therapy. As resistance progresses, tumors may evolve further adaptive pathways which lead to increased aggressiveness and metastatic ability.

On the Road to Fight Cancer: The Potential of G-Quadruplex Ligands as Novel Therapeutic Agents

Irene Alessandrini et al.

Summary: G-quadruplex-forming nucleic acid sequences are highly present in the human genome and have been evolutionarily selected for their pivotal role in cell biology. Targeting G-quadruplexes in cancer has shown potential therapeutic benefits, with small molecules stabilizing these structures demonstrating antitumor activity in preclinical models. Further research is needed to fully understand the biological implications and develop effective G-quadruplex-based anticancer strategies.

Quadruplex Ligands in Cancer Therapy

Victoria Sanchez-Martin et al.

Summary: Four-stranded nucleic acid structures known as quadruplexes, including DNA G-quadruplexes, RNA G-quadruplexes, and i-Motifs, play vital regulatory roles in the human genome, particularly in cancer-related processes. Ligands targeting these structures have shown promise in cancer therapy, prompting further research and exploration in this field. This review provides an updated overview of the research on quadruplex ligands in cancer therapy, highlighting their importance and potential in the development of therapeutic agents.

Antithetic hTERT Regulation by Androgens in Prostate Cancer Cells: hTERT Inhibition Is Mediated by the ING1 and ING2 Tumor Suppressors

Sophie Bartsch et al.

Summary: The expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase subunit (hTERT) is hormonally controlled, with androgen treatment suppressing hTERT expression in prostate cancer cells. This inhibition and activation of hTERT by androgens is mediated by androgen receptor (AR) co-repressors ING1 and ING2. This reveals a dual role of AR in controlling hTERT expression during prostate cancer tumorigenesis.
