Pharmacoeconomics of novel pharmacotherapies in triple-negative breast cancer

Luca Boscolo Bielo et al.

Summary: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer with unfavorable outcomes, traditionally had limited systemic treatment options. However, novel drugs have been approved and are causing economic challenges due to their high prices.

Bruceine a exerts antitumor effect against colon cancer by accumulating ROS and suppressing PI3K/Akt pathway

Chaozheng Zhang et al.

Summary: Bruceine A (BA), derived from Bruceine javanica, displays multiple biological activities and regulates various intracellular signal transduction pathways. However, its pharmacological mechanism in treating colon cancer (CC) remains unclear. In this study, BA was found to exhibit anticancer effects on CC cells by targeting the Akt1 and Jun as well as the PI3K/Akt pathway. Additionally, BA inhibited cell cycle progression, promoted apoptosis, and suppressed cell migration in CC cells. These findings suggest that BA has the potential to be a promising chemotherapy drug for the treatment of CC.

Activation of mitochondrial-associated apoptosis signaling pathway and inhibition of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway by voacamine suppress breast cancer progression

Yi Zuo et al.

Summary: This study investigated the anti-cancer effects of VOA on breast cancer cells and elucidated the underlying mechanisms, including activation of mitochondrial-associated apoptosis signaling pathway and inhibition of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Additionally, VOA significantly reduced tumor size without causing apparent toxicity.

Voacamine is a novel inhibitor of EGFR exerting oncogenic activity against colorectal cancer through the mitochondrial pathway

Yao Chen et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the anticancer efficacy and mechanisms of a novel natural product called Voacamine (VOA) against colorectal cancer (CRC). The results showed that VOA could suppress cell proliferation and migration, promote cell apoptosis, and affect mitochondrial function. Further investigations revealed that VOA exerted its anticancer effects by inhibiting the EGFR/PI3K/Akt pathway. Animal experiments also supported the potential of VOA as a therapeutic agent for treating CRC. This study provides evidence for the use of VOA as a potential drug in the treatment of CRC.

Implication of human endogenous retrovirus W family envelope in hepatocellular carcinoma promotes MEK/ERK-mediated metastatic invasiveness and doxorubicin resistance

Yan Zhou et al.

Summary: Our study revealed that Syncytin-1 expression is up-regulated in HCC, particularly in advanced stages, and can serve as a predictor of patient prognosis. Furthermore, detailed analysis showed a significant association between Syncytin-1 and HBsAg positivity in HCC patients, suggesting a key role in the development and treatment of HCC.

Nanoparticle-delivered miriplatin ultrasmall dots suppress triple negative breast cancer lung metastasis by targeting circulating tumor cells

Yunfei Li et al.

Summary: The study developed a novel ultrasmall Pt(II) dot that displayed superior DNA damage capability and significantly reduced the CSC-like properties of TNBC cells, as well as targeted circulating tumor cells in vivo to suppress breast cancer metastasis. The ultrasmall Pt(II) dots represent a promising therapeutic agent for reducing cancer metastasis through metal-based nanomedicines.

Bruceine A induces cell growth inhibition and apoptosis through PFKFB4/GSK3β signaling in pancreatic cancer

Pengfei Zhang et al.

Summary: Bruceine A exhibits strong anti-tumor activity against human pancreatic cancer cells in vitro and in vivo by targeting PFKFB4 and its downstream target GSK3 beta to inhibit glycolysis, thereby inducing cell growth inhibition and apoptosis. This suggests that bruceine A may serve as a potent agent for treating human pancreatic cancer.

EGFR inhibition blocks cancer stem cell clustering and lung metastasis of triple negative breast cancer

Xia Liu et al.

Summary: Research has shown that inhibiting EGFR can block the circulating cancer stem cell (cCSC) clustering and lung metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). In addition to CD44, microRNA-30c also plays a negative regulatory role in cCSC clustering and lung metastasis.
