Research progress of traditional Chinese medicine as sensitizer in reversing chemoresistance of colorectal cancer

Xiang Lin et al.

Summary: In recent years, the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC) have been increasing, necessitating the discovery of new drugs to enhance drug sensitivity and reverse drug tolerance. This study focuses on understanding the mechanisms of CRC chemoresistance and exploring the potential of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to restore sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs. The study thoroughly discusses mechanisms involved in restoring sensitivity, such as targeting traditional chemical drugs, assisting drug activation, increasing drug accumulation, improving the tumor microenvironment, relieving immunosuppression, and reversing reversible modifications. The study also examines the effects of TCM combined with anticancer drugs in reducing toxicity, increasing efficiency, inducing new forms of cell death, and effectively blocking drug resistance mechanisms. The aim is to explore the potential of TCM as a sensitizer for anti-CRC drugs, developing a natural, less toxic, and highly effective approach to overcome CRC chemoresistance.

Berberine Suppresses Stemness and Tumorigenicity of Colorectal Cancer Stem-Like Cells by Inhibiting m6A Methylation

Ziyi Zhao et al.

Summary: Berberine was found to inhibit tumor growth and stemness in colorectal cancer stem-like cells by decreasing m(6)A methylation, regulating FTO, and downregulating beta-catenin. This led to decreased cell proliferation, induced cell cycle arrest, reduced colony formation, and increased chemosensitivity, ultimately inhibiting malignant behaviors in colorectal CSCs.

Rational Design of Novel Anticancer Small-Molecule RNA m6A Demethylase ALKBH5 Inhibitors

Simona Selberg et al.

Summary: Two new ALKBH5 inhibitors were found to significantly suppress the proliferation of leukemia cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 1.38 to 16.5 μM. However, the effect on another leukemia cell line and glioblastoma cell line was minimal. This demonstrates the potential of ALKBH5 inhibition as a selective antiproliferative strategy for certain cancer cell types.

ATF3 Modulates the Resistance of Breast Cancer Cells to Tamoxifen through an N6-Methyladenosine-Based Epitranscriptomic Mechanism

Xiaochuan Liu et al.

Summary: The increased expression of ATF3 protein in tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer cells is correlated with drug resistance and is regulated by the downregulation of YTHDF2. This leads to increased stability of ATF3 mRNA and subsequently enhances drug resistance. These findings suggest ATF3 and YTHDF2 as potential therapeutic targets for overcoming drug resistance in cancer cells.

ALKBH5-HOXA10 loop-mediated JAK2 m6A demethylation and cisplatin resistance in epithelial ovarian cancer

Sipei Nie et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that ALKBH5 is upregulated in cisplatin-resistant EOC and promotes cancer cell resistance to cisplatin. The ALKBH5-HOXA10 loop activates the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, leading to EOC chemoresistance. Inhibition of the expression of the ALKBH5-HOXA10 loop may be a potential strategy to overcome cisplatin resistance in EOC.

Mechanism of Drug Tolerant Persister Cancer Cells: The Landscape and Clinical Implication for Therapy

Masashi Mikubo et al.

Summary: A minor population of cancer cells can evade cell death from chemotherapy and targeted therapy by entering a reversible slow proliferation state known as the drug tolerant persister (DTP) state. Understanding the biology of DTP cells and developing therapeutic strategies targeting this mechanism can have significant clinical implications in overcoming cancer persistence. Emerging evidence suggests that DTP cells adapt to new environments through epigenomic modification, transcriptomic regulation, flexible energy metabolism, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

A methyltransferase-like 14/miR-99a-5p/tribble 2 positive feedback circuit promotes cancer stem cell persistence and radioresistance via histone deacetylase 2-mediated epigenetic modulation in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Zhenchuan Liu et al.

Summary: The study identified a positive feedback loop involving METTL14/miR-99a-5p/TRIB2 that enhances CSC characteristics and radioresistance in ESCC. It was found that miR-99a-5p inhibits CSC persistence and radioresistance, while TRIB2 activates HDAC2 leading to epigenetic repression of p21 through the Akt/mTOR/S6K1 signaling pathway. Targeting this axis may provide potential therapeutic targets for ESCC treatment.
