Preclinical Studies of Chiauranib Show It Inhibits Transformed Follicular Lymphoma through the VEGFR2/ERK/STAT3 Signaling Pathway

Yuanfang Tang et al.

Summary: Transformed follicular lymphoma (t-FL) is a disease with no effective treatment strategy and has a rapid progression, treatment resistance, and poor prognosis. In this study, we found a promising therapeutic approach with chiauranib, a multitarget inhibitor targeting VEGFR/Aurora B/CSF-1R. Chiauranib significantly inhibited cell growth and migration, induced apoptosis, and caused cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase in t-FL. Mechanistically, chiauranib suppressed the phosphorylation level of VEGFR2 and inhibited the downstream MEK/ERK/STAT3 signaling cascade.

METTL3 promotes oxaliplatin resistance of gastric cancer CD133+stem cells by promoting PARP1 mRNA stability

Huafu Li et al.

Summary: In this study, the researchers investigated the mechanism of oxaliplatin resistance in gastric cancer using in vitro human gastric cancer organoids and oxaliplatin-resistant cell lines, as well as in vivo tumorigenicity experiments. They found that CD133+ stem cell-like cells are the main subpopulation associated with resistance, and that the gene PARP1 plays a central role in mediating this resistance. The researchers discovered that PARP1 can effectively repair DNA damage caused by oxaliplatin by activating the base excision repair pathway, leading to the development of drug resistance. They also found that CD133+ cells exhibit increased expression of the mRNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and its writer METTL3, which enhances the stability of PARP1 and contributes to its DNA damage repair ability. Overall, this study demonstrates that m6A methyltransferase METTL3 promotes oxaliplatin resistance in CD133+ gastric cancer stem cells by increasing PARP1 mRNA stability and base excision repair activity.

Melatonin: Regulation of Prion Protein Phase Separation in Cancer Multidrug Resistance

Doris Loh et al.

Summary: The ability of cancer cells to adapt and thrive in unfavorable tumor microenvironments makes them resistant to traditional chemotherapy and novel pharmaceuticals. This resistance is facilitated by metabolic alterations, cellular stress responses, and prion proteins. Melatonin has the potential to improve multidrug resistance by regulating the functions of prion proteins and modulating the tumor microenvironment.

Hallmarks of Cancer: New Dimensions

Douglas Hanahan

Summary: The concept of the hallmarks of cancer is a tool for simplifying the complexity of cancer phenotypes and genotypes into basic principles. This article proposes phenotypic plasticity and disrupted differentiation as distinct hallmark capabilities, and discusses nonmutational epigenetic reprogramming and polymorphic microbiomes as enabling characteristics. Additionally, the importance of senescent cells in the tumor microenvironment is highlighted. The integrative concept of the hallmarks of cancer helps in understanding the mechanisms of cancer development and applying that knowledge to cancer medicine.

Melatonin affects hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and ameliorates delayed brain injury following subarachnoid hemorrhage via H19/miR-675/HIF1A/TLR4

Zhijian Xu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the molecular mechanism of how melatonin interferes with the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha and toll-like receptor 4. The results showed that melatonin could down-regulate the expressions of HIF1A and TLR4 via the H19/miR-675/HIF1A/TLR4 signaling pathway, and improve neurobehavioral deficits and apoptosis caused by brain injury.

Pro-Inflammatory Signalling PRRopels Cisplatin-Induced Toxicity

Ivan K. Domingo et al.

Summary: Cisplatin, a widely used chemotherapeutic drug, is effective against various solid cancers but limited by its adverse drug reactions. The most common reactions include nephrotoxicity, peripheral neuropathy, and ototoxicity. Previous studies focused on oxidative stress as the cause of these toxicities, but recent evidence suggests that inflammation may be the main driving force. This review summarizes the common and distinct inflammation characteristics among different adverse reactions, as well as current treatments targeting pro-inflammatory signaling pathways to improve the use of cisplatin.
