Ribosomal Protein S6: A Potential Therapeutic Target against Cancer?

Yong Weon Yi et al.

Summary: Ribosomal protein S6 (RPS6) is a component of the 40S small ribosomal subunit and is involved in the control of mRNA translation. Phospho (p)-RPS6 has been identified as a surrogate marker for the activated PI3K/AKT/mTORC1 pathway, which is involved in many types of cancer. Research suggests that RPS6 may play an important role in maintaining cancer cell proliferation.

Dual mTORC1/2 inhibition compromises cell defenses against exogenous stress potentiating Obatoclax-induced cytotoxicity in atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors

Ashlyn Parkhurst et al.

Summary: By combining the mTOR inhibitor TAK-228 with the BH3 mimetic Obatoclax, researchers have found that they can slow tumor growth, induce apoptosis and cell death in atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (AT/RT), and activate the integrative stress response. This combination therapy shows promise in improving survival rates in AT/RT.

Tumor-Associated Macrophages in Gliomas-Basic Insights and Treatment Opportunities

Johannes K. Andersen et al.

Summary: Glioma is a group of primary brain tumors, among which glioblastoma is the most malignant one. The glioma microenvironment is dominated by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), which are immunosuppressive and hinder treatment effectiveness. Shifting TAMs towards a proinflammatory state through new therapeutic strategies is of great therapeutic interest for glioma treatment.

Role and regulation of autophagy in cancer

Ravichandran Rakesh et al.

Summary: Autophagy is a significant mechanism related to cellular stress, metabolism, and cancer, but its role in cancer is still not well understood. Autophagy involves modifications of various proteins and pathways and is influenced by the interaction between tumor cells and their microenvironment.

The effects of painless nerve growth factor on human microglia polarization

Lucia Lisi et al.

Summary: Previous studies have indicated that microglial cells in the brain could be a potential target for nerve growth factors. The recombinant mutated form of human nerve growth factor (hNGFp) shows similar neurotrophic properties to wild-type NGF but with lower algogenic activity. The study evaluated the expression of NGF receptors in human microglia cell lines and the effects of hNGFp and NGF on L-arginine metabolism, showing that both types of NGF inhibit iNOS expression and NO production, but only NGF stimulates urea production.
