Screening of Bufadienolides from Toad Venom Identifies Gammabufotalin as a Potential Anti-inflammatory Agent

Yuanru Zheng et al.

Summary: The anti-inflammatory effects of 14 bufadienolides from toad venom were evaluated using zebrafish as a drug screening model. Most of the bufadienolides showed significant anti-inflammatory effects in different zebrafish inflammatory models. Gammabufotalin was found to inhibit inflammation by suppressing specific signal pathways. This study confirms the potential of zebrafish in drug screening and provides insights into the anti-inflammatory effects of bufadienolides from toad venom.

Overexpression of ABCB1 Associated With the Resistance to the KRAS-G12C Specific Inhibitor ARS-1620 in Cancer Cells

Xing-Duo Dong et al.

Summary: This study investigated the potential drug resistance mechanism of the KRAS-G12C inhibitor ARS-1620 associated with ABCB1. The findings indicated that ARS-1620 could be competitively pumped out by ABCB1 in cancer cells and significantly stimulated the ATPase activity of ABCB1. These findings suggest that the potential influence of ARS-1620-related cancer therapy on ABCB1-overexpressing cancer cells should be considered in future clinical applications.

Summary: This article provides an update on female breast cancer statistics in the United States, including data on incidence, mortality, survival, and mammography screening. It shows that breast cancer incidence rates have increased over the past few decades, driven by localized-stage and hormone receptor-positive disease. However, breast cancer mortality rates have been steadily declining since 1989, although at a slower pace in recent years. Despite lower incidence rates, there remains a racial disparity in breast cancer mortality, with higher rates among Black women compared to White women.

Summary: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women globally, with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) known for being highly aggressive and resistant to chemotherapy. In this study, the researchers identified Src family kinases (SFKs) as potential drug targets for chemotherapy-resistant TNBC. However, the prevalence of SFK-driven tumors was found to be low in human tumor tissue specimens. These findings highlight the importance of characterizing phosphotyrosine signaling profiles for patient stratification and therapeutic options.
