Activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway by lipopolysaccharide aggravates postoperative ileus in colorectal cancer patients

Lujia Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between gut microbiota, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and postoperative ileus (POI) in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. It is found that patients with prolonged POI have a unique pro-inflammatory gut microbial composition. Escherichia-Shigella and Bacteroides, Gram-negative bacteria, are present at higher levels in these patients. Fecal LPS levels are significantly higher in patients with prolonged POI. In mouse models, treatment with antibiotics improves intestinal inflammation and dysfunction, while treatment with polymyxin B reduces inflammation and dysfunction, and LPS worsens these symptoms. The study concludes that LPS increases inflammation in the intestinal muscularis via p38 signaling, aggravating POI. Removal of bacterial sources of LPS during the perioperative period shows promise for preventing prolonged POI.

Tanshinone IIA and its derivative activate thermogenesis in adipocytes and induce beiging of white adipose tissue

Lei Ma et al.

Summary: In this study, the effects of TAN2A and TAN20 on adipogenesis, lipid metabolism, and thermogenesis were investigated. Both TAN2A and TAN20 were found to increase mitochondria content in adipose tissue, enhance energy expenditure, reduce body weight, and improve insulin sensitivity and metabolic homeostasis in obese and diabetic mouse models. TAN20 was also shown to promote the transformation from white to beige adipose tissue and activate brown adipose tissue. The increased expression of UCP1 and other thermogenic genes in adipocytes was mediated through the AMPK-PGC-1alpha signaling pathway.

Potential and mechanism of mebendazole for treatment and maintenance of ovarian cancer

Suganthapriya Elayapillai et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated the therapeutic potential of repurposing mebendazole for ovarian cancer treatment, showing its growth inhibiting effects in cell cultures and in vivo models. The combination of mebendazole and PRIMA-1(MET) displayed synergistic effects in inhibiting tumor growth, mainly through p53-dependent pathways but also via independent mechanisms unrelated to p53 and tubule destabilization.

Identification of a small molecule as inducer of ferroptosis and apoptosis through ubiquitination of GPX4 in triple negative breast cancer cells

Yahui Ding et al.

Summary: This study identified a novel approach to treat TNBC by inducing ferroptosis through ubiquitination of GPX4 with the compound DMOCPTL, and revealed the role of GPX4 in regulating mitochondria-mediated apoptosis through up-regulation of EGR1 in TNBC cells. Furthermore, the prodrug Compound 13 showed promising anti-tumor effects in vivo with no apparent toxicity, suggesting its potential as a lead compound for developing effective anti-TNBC drugs.
