Etoposide as Salvage Therapy for Cytokinf Storm Due to Coronavirus Disease 2019

Maulin Patel et al.

Summary: COVID-19 has caused significant morbidity and mortality due to a lack of effective therapies. Treatment strategies targeting the overactive cytokine response are being investigated, with a unique case reporting responsiveness to etoposide, suggesting its potential role as salvage therapy for cytokine storm in COVID-19. This is the first reported case of etoposide use in COVID-19.

COVID-19 and Toll-Like Receptor 4 (TLR4): SARS-CoV-2 May Bind and Activate TLR4 to Increase ACE2 Expression, Facilitating Entry and Causing Hyperinflammation

Mohamed M. Aboudounya et al.

Summary: Mortality in COVID-19 is caused by respiratory failure, heart failure, and sepsis/multiorgan failure. TLR4, an innate immune receptor, recognizes viral proteins and triggers immune responses. SARS-CoV-2 binds to TLR4, potentially leading to inflammation and multi-organ injury.

Methotrexate as a safe immunosuppressive agent during the COVID-19 pandemic

Zakiye Ganjei et al.

Summary: The study found that patients taking methotrexate tend to have milder COVID-19 symptoms and severity, possibly due to reduced inflammatory reactions. Methotrexate may be a suitable treatment option for immunocompromised patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

CDK1, the Other 'Master Regulator' of Autophagy

Richard Odle et al.

Summary: Autophagy and cap-dependent mRNA translation are tightly regulated during mitosis, with a switch from mTORC1 to CDK1-mediated regulation being a significant factor. Recent studies have shown repression of autophagy initiation and maintenance of cap-dependent mRNA translation even when mTORC1 activity is repressed. This highlights the complexity of regulation during mitosis and the need for further research in this area.

Disease Modeling and Disease Gene Discovery in Cardiomyopathies: A Molecular Study of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Generated Cardiomyocytes

Satish Kumar et al.

Summary: In vitro modeling of cardiac development and cardiomyopathies using iPSC-derived CMs provides insights into genetic and molecular changes associated with heart diseases. The study found that the generated CMs have characteristics of immature atrial-like CMs and exhibit overlap with gene sets associated with primary cardiomyocytes, heart tissue, and cardiomyopathy. Furthermore, modeling the effect of MACE in the CMs identified gene expression phenotypes consistent with the predisposition of the affected sibship to arrhythmia, prothrombotic, and atherosclerosis risk.

9p21 loss confers a cold tumor immune microenvironment and primary resistance to immune checkpoint therapy

Guangchun Han et al.

Summary: This study found that the loss of 9p21.3 leads to a cold tumor immune phenotype, reducing the responsiveness of tumors to immune checkpoint therapy and resulting in worse outcomes. By incorporating 9p21 loss, PD-L1 expression, and TMB levels in pre-treatment tumors, a response score was derived that can accurately identify patients likely to achieve sustained response to therapy.

CDK1 serves as a novel therapeutic target for endometrioid endometrial cancer

Xue Ying et al.

Summary: The study identified CDK1 as a potential therapeutic target for endometrioid endometrial cancer, as overexpression of CDK1 was associated with histological grade of EC and promoted cancer cell growth and colony formation in vitro. Inhibition of CDK1 activity induced cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, and also inhibited cancer growth in xenograft models.
