Extracellular vesicles mediate the communication between multiple myeloma and bone marrow microenvironment in a NOTCH dependent way

Domenica Giannandrea et al.

Summary: Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable hematologic neoplasm with poor prognosis, largely due to the interaction between MM cells and the bone marrow microenvironment. Researchers have found that MM-derived extracellular vesicles (MM-EV) contain the oncogenic NOTCH receptors, which play a crucial role in promoting the protumorigenic activity of MM-EV. These EV can transfer NOTCH2 between cells and increase NOTCH signaling in target cells, leading to increased angiogenesis and osteoclast differentiation. Targeting the NOTCH pathway may be a promising therapeutic strategy to inhibit the protumorigenic role of EV in MM and other tumors.

JunB is a key regulator of multiple myeloma bone marrow angiogenesis

Fengjuan Fan et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates a significant correlation between JunB and angiogenic factors in MM, independent of hypoxia. JunB plays a dual role as a mediator of MM cell survival, proliferation, drug resistance, and also promotes angiogenesis in the BM microenvironment. These findings suggest targeting JunB as a potential strategy in MM therapy.

Genetic variants as biomarkers for progression and resistance in multiple myeloma

Rachel A. Montel et al.

Summary: Technical advances in genome sequencing, particularly whole-genome sequencing, provide tools for understanding cancer at the molecular level, with a focus on genetic variants associated with pathogenic cancers like multiple myeloma. Protein-coding genes such as NRAS, KRAS, TP53, and others are found to be responsible for cell cycle regulation in multiple myeloma, and their mutations are characterized using software tools like Qiagen's IPA and IVA. Gene network associations and cancer driver variants in MM have been investigated, shedding light on the genetic mechanisms underlying the disease.

Resveratrol for cancer therapy: Challenges and future perspectives

Boxu Ren et al.

Summary: Despite its potential anticancer effects, resveratrol faces obstacles in clinical translation due to poor pharmacokinetics, low potency, and nephrotoxicity in certain patients. New strategies to enhance its bioavailability and develop more potent analogues are proposed to overcome these challenges and advance resveratrol in cancer therapy.

Roadmap to cure multiple myeloma

Paula Rodriguez-Otero et al.

Summary: In order to achieve a cure for multiple myeloma, five complementary strategies are proposed: increasing knowledge about disease pathogenesis, using undetectable measurable residual disease as the new endpoint of therapy, treating disease causation instead of symptomatology, using the most active scheme, and investigating experimental therapies.

IAP and HDAC inhibitors interact synergistically in myeloma cells through noncanonical NF-κB- and caspase-8-dependent mechanisms

Liang Zhou et al.

Summary: The combination of LCL161 and LBH589 showed synergistic interactions in inducing apoptosis in human multiple myeloma cells by inactivating the noncanonical NF-kappa B pathway and activating the extrinsic apoptotic pathway. This treatment strategy was effective in primary MM cells and overcame various forms of resistance, demonstrating significant anti-tumor activity in vivo, suggesting its potential as a novel therapeutic approach in MM.

Artemisinin-type drugs for the treatment of hematological malignancies

R. Mancuso et al.

Summary: Qinghaosu, known as artemisinin, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over two millennia and is now a standard treatment for malaria worldwide. In addition to its anti-malarial properties, it also exhibits anticancer activities, particularly against hematologic malignancies. The chemical structure of artemisinin contains an endoperoxide bridge essential for its activity, and it works through mechanisms such as oxidative stress response, inhibition of proliferation, and induction of various types of cell death. Research on new pharmaceutically active compounds based on artemisinin could potentially enhance existing therapeutic alternatives for combating hematologic malignancies.
