Current and emerging biologic therapies for triple negative breast cancer

Saba S. Shaikh et al.

Summary: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), which lacks estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, or human epidermal growth factor2, accounts for approximately 15% of breast cancer patients. Limited treatment options have historically been available, but recent transcriptomic analyses have revealed the biological heterogeneity of TNBC. Predictive biomarkers based on the distinct biology of TNBC subtypes have been identified to determine which patients will benefit the most from targeted therapies. Two biomarker-driven treatments have been recently approved.

Synthesis and potential antimicrobial activity of novel α-aminophosphonates derivatives bearing substituted quinoline or quinolone and thiazole moieties

Bilal Litim et al.

Summary: Novel alpha-aminophosphonates derivatives incorporating quinoline or quinolone, and coumarylthiazole or 5-phenylthiazol-2-amine moieties were synthesized and screened for antimicrobial activity. The compounds showed moderate to strong inhibitory activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, with some exhibiting excellent antifungal inhibition. Structure-activity relationship analysis indicated that certain structural moieties enhanced the inhibitory activity against microbial pathogens, suggesting the synthesized compounds as potential antimicrobial drug candidates.

Cell cycle regulation: p53-p21-RB signaling

Kurt Engeland

Summary: RB and p53 are central tumor suppressors that play key roles in regulating the cell division cycle. RB downregulates numerous genes by forming complexes with E2F transcription factors, and its repression is released through phosphorylation. p53 activates CDKN1A gene to regulate RB phosphorylation, leading to expression of cell cycle regulators. There is an overlap between RB and DREAM signaling pathways.

Molecular Mechanisms of Resistance to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Associated with Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Yichen Tian et al.

Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related death, primarily due to high incidence and late-stage diagnosis. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have shown significant clinical efficacy and low incidence of adverse reactions in the treatment of HCC. However, resistance to sorafenib and other TKIs presents a major challenge. Recent mechanistic studies have identified several factors involved in apoptosis, angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and TKI resistance in HCC patients. Exploring and overcoming these resistance mechanisms is crucial to extending the therapeutic benefits of TKIs to patients with TKI-resistant HCC.

Mediating EGFR-TKI Resistance by VEGF/VEGFR Autocrine Pathway in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Chike Osude et al.

Summary: This study elucidated the mechanism of EGFR-TKI resistance mediated by VEGF/VEGFR in NSCLC cell lines with EGFR mutations or acquired resistance to Erlotinib. Combination treatment of Erlotinib with a VEGFR-2 inhibitor showed increased efficacy in Erlotinib-resistant cell lines. NSCLC patients with high expression of VEGFR-2 had shorter survival times. These results suggest that VEGFR-2 may play a key role in EGFR-TKI resistance and that combination treatment may be effective in NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations.
