Treatment-driven tumour heterogeneity and drug resistance: Lessons from solid tumours

Stefania Crucitta et al.

Summary: Molecular heterogeneity is a characteristic of tumor evolution and adaptation, and it is a major cause of drug resistance. The pharmacological characteristics of a drug and the selective pressure of treatments influence the development of resistance mechanisms. This review focuses on tumor heterogeneity and its relation to resistance to targeted therapy, providing guidance for new drug development and therapeutic combinations.

Psoralen inhibits the proliferation and promotes apoptosis through endoplasmic reticulum stress in human osteosarcoma cells

Shubo Li et al.

Summary: Psoralen inhibits the viability of osteosarcoma cells in a dose-dependent manner and induces apoptosis through the endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway. Treatment with 4-PBA, an ER stress inhibitor, attenuates the apoptotic effects of psoralen, indicating its potential as a drug for suppressing osteosarcoma development.

UHRF1 Knockdown Attenuates Cell Growth, Migration, and Invasion in Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Qingyan Li et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that UHRF1 is elevated in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) and is associated with cell proliferation, migration, invasion, G2/M cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. Knockdown of UHRF1 led to attenuated tumor growth in a mouse xenograft model, potentially through the disruption of multiple signal pathways. This suggests that UHRF1 may be a therapeutic target for cSCC.

Plumbagin induces Ishikawa cell cycle arrest, autophagy, and apoptosis via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in endometrial cancer

Xiangsheng Zhang et al.

Summary: Plumbagin shows potential medicinal properties, including anticancer activities. It inhibits cell proliferation, blocks cell cycle, induces apoptosis and autophagy in endometrial cancer cells. The anticancer effects of PLB may be mediated by abrogating the PI3K/Akt pathway.

Inhibition of histone acetyltransferase function radiosensitizes CREBBP/EP300 mutants via repression of homologous recombination, potentially targeting a gain of function

Manish Kumar et al.

Summary: The study uncovers that mutations in histone acetyltransferases CREBBP/EP300 can increase homologous recombination, making tumors more sensitive to radiation, and have a synergistic effect with HAT inhibitors. These findings not only provide a resistance mechanism but also offer potential for genomically-driven treatment.

Perspectives on natural compounds in chemoprevention and treatment of cancer: an update with new promising compounds

Abedul Haque et al.

Summary: Although cancer is the second deadliest disease worldwide, recent advances in precision treatments are promising. However, challenges remain due to the heterogeneity and mutational burdens of cancer cells. Chemoprevention, especially with natural dietary compounds, is considered a rational and appealing strategy to prevent carcinogenesis, particularly in high-risk populations.

Sinularin, an Anti-Cancer Agent Causing Mitochondria-Modulated Apoptosis and Cytoskeleton Disruption in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Chou-Yuan Ko et al.

Summary: Sinularin was found to effectively inhibit the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma SK-HEP-1 cells at a concentration of 10 μM, inducing DNA fragmentation and apoptosis, as well as affecting cell migration and colony formation. Additionally, it altered the expression levels of various proteins related to cell signaling and metastasis.

Thymoquinone Is a Multitarget Single Epidrug That Inhibits the UHRF1 Protein Complex

Omeima Abdullah et al.

Summary: The silencing of tumor suppressor genes through epigenetic mechanisms, mainly via abnormal promoter DNA methylation, is a main mechanism of tumorigenesis. UHRF1 plays a key role in this process as a conductor, and targeting UHRF1 is a promising strategy for cancer therapy. Thymoquinone (TQ) shows potential as a multitarget single epidrug that acts by targeting the UHRF1/DNMT1/HDAC1/G9a complex.

Incidence, Treatment and Outcomes of Cervical Cancer in Low- and Middle-income Countries

U. Mahantshetty et al.

Summary: This collaborative review focuses on the incidence, treatment, and clinical outcomes of cervical cancer in low-income and low-and middle-income countries, highlighting challenges such as lack of resources, rural-urban disparities, and poor compliance to evaluation and treatment guidelines. Various treatment strategies have been attempted with limited success, and compliance to concurrent chemoradiation remains a major challenge. Lack of palliative care integration in cancer care is also identified as a significant issue.

Neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) 1 and 2 expression in squamous cell carcinoma and squamous intraepithelial lesions of the cervix uteri

Remzi Erten et al.

Summary: The study found low expression of NTRK1 and NTRK2 in cervical squamous cell carcinoma and precursor lesions, with no significant impact on grading and differentiation. Immunohistochemistry may be used for screening NTRK gene fusions in cervical SCC patients. Trk inhibitors could be a favorable therapeutic option for a small number of SCC cases with positive NTRK1/NTRK2 staining. Further research is needed to confirm these findings.
