Randomized phase II study of valproic acid in combination with bevacizumab and oxaliplatin/fluoropyrimidine regimens in patients with RAS-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer: the REVOLUTION study protocol.

BackgroundDespite effective treatments, metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) prognosis is still poor, mostly in RAS-mutated tumors, thus suggesting the need for novel combinatorial therapies. Epigenetic alterations play an important role in initiation and progression of cancers, including CRC. Histone-deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have shown activity in combination with chemotherapy in the treatment of solid tumors. Owing to its HDACi activity and its safe use for epileptic disorders, valproic acid (VPA) is a good candidate for anticancer therapy that we have largely explored preclinically tra

Ига Недостаток Экспериментирует животную модель множественного склероза, вызванного вирусом Тейлера.

Множественный склероз (MS) — иммунозащитное заболевание, характеризующееся воспалительным демиэлированием и аксонным дегенерацией в центральной нервной системе (CNS) и связанное с вирусными инфекциями. Инфекция Murine ensphalomyelitis (TMEV) у мышей SJL/J широко используется в качестве вирусной модели MS, поскольку мыши, инфицированные TMEV, развивают MS-подобные обезвоживанию и аксоналовую дегенерацию с вирусной стойкостью в CNS. В модели TMEV мы ранее демонстрировали регулирование генов, связанных с иммуноглобулином (Ig), в CNS, а также осаждение игА и инфильтрацию клеток в демиелионирующих

Predictive and Prognostic Biomarkers for Lung Cancer Bone Metastasis and Their Therapeutic Value.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Bone metastasis, which usually accompanies severe skeletal-related events, is the most common site for tumor distant dissemination and detected in more than one-third of patients with advanced lung cancer. Biopsy and imaging play critical roles in the diagnosis of bone metastasis; however, these approaches are characterized by evident limitations. Recently, studies regarding potential biomarkers in the serum, urine, and tumor tissue, were performed to predict the bone metastases and prognosis in patients with lung cancer. In t

The Host Cell ViroCheckpoint: Identification and Pharmacologic Targeting of Novel Mechanistic Determinants of Coronavirus-Mediated Hijacked Cell States

Most antiviral agents are designed to target virus-specific proteins and mechanisms rather than the host cell proteins that are critically dysregulated following virus-mediated reprogramming of the host cell transcriptional state. To overcome these limitations, we propose that elucidation and pharmacologic targeting of host cell Master Regulator proteins—whose aberrant activities govern the reprogramed state of infected-coronavirus cells—presents unique opportunities to develop novel mechanism-based therapeutic approaches to antiviral therapy, either as monotherapy or as a complement to establ

The cGAS-STING pathway in senescence and aging-related diseases: mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities.

The cGAS-STING pathway acts as a critical molecular hub connecting genomic instability with cellular senescence. Functioning as a key regulator of the innate immune system, this pathway detects aberrant cytoplasmic DNA to activate downstream inflammatory responses, thereby playing a pivotal role in aging-related diseases. This review systematically explores the core mechanisms by which the cGAS-STING pathway regulates cellular senescence, emphasizing its role in triggering senescence through the recognition of DNA damage signals (e.g., oxidative stress, telomere dysfunction) and promoting para

Epigenetic drugs in cancer therapy: mechanisms, immune modulation, and therapeutic applications.

Epigenetic regulation is a fundamental mechanism controlling gene expression and cellular function, primarily mediated through reversible modifications such as DNA methylation, histone acetylation, and chromatin remodeling. Dysregulation of critical epigenetic enzymes, including histone deacetylases (HDACs), DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), and bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) proteins, has been closely associated with tumor initiation, progression, metastasis, immune evasion, and resistance to conventional therapies. Targeting these epigenetic regulators with small-molecule inhibitor

Диет модернизирует терапевтическое воздействие диметилфумарата, поддерживаемого иммунометаболическим нейтрофильным рецептором HCAR2.

Монометилфумарат (ММФ) и его пронаркодиметилфумарат (ДМП) в настоящее время являются наиболее широко используемыми агентами для лечения множественных склерозов (МС). Однако не все пациенты получают помощь от ДМФ. Мы предположили, что переменная реакция пациентов может быть связана с их питанием. В поддержку этой гипотезы мыши, подвергшиеся экспериментальному аутоиммунальному энцефаломиэлиту (EAE), являющемуся моделью MS, не пользовались лечением DMF при питании богатой лауричной кислотой диетой. В противоположность этому, мыши на нормальном питании чау (NC) и даже мыши на рационе с высоким сод

Cancer Vaccines for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the subtype of breast cancer with the poorest outcomes, and is associated with a high risk of relapse and metastasis. The treatment choices for this malignancy have been confined to conventional chemotherapeutic agents, due to a lack of expression of the canonical molecular targets. Immunotherapy has been recently changing the treatment paradigm for many types of tumors, and the approach of evoking active immune responses in the milieu of breast tumors through cancer vaccines has been introduced as one of the most novel immunotherapeutic approaches. Acco

Ocular complications of antineoplastic therapies.

Ocular complications of antineoplastic agents can have a profound effect on the quality of life of cancer patients. New oncologic treatments like monoclonal antibodies, immunotherapies, antibody-drug conjugates, checkpoint inhibitors and growth factor receptors have resulted in increased ocular complications. These ocular complications differs in respect to distinct mechanisms of actions and lead to significant challenges in the management of cancer patients. In this review, we reviewed literature, clinical studies and cases detailing ocular complications due to administration of antineoplasti

m6A mRNA methylation initiated by METTL3 directly promotes YAP translation and increases YAP activity by regulating the MALAT1-miR-1914-3p-YAP axis to induce NSCLC drug resistance and metastasis.

BackgroundMETTL3 is an RNA methyltransferase that mediates m6A modification and is implicated in mRNA biogenesis, decay, and translation. However, the biomechanism through which METTL3 regulates MALAT1-miR-1914-3p-YAP axis activity to induce NSCLC drug resistance and metastasis is not very clear.MethodsThe expression of mRNA was analyzed by qPCR assays. Protein levels were analyzed by western blotting and immunofluorescent staining. Cellular proliferation was detected by CCK8 assays. Cell migration and invasion were analyzed by wound healing and transwell assays, respectively. Promoter activit

Transforming tumor microenvironments: nanotechnology and gene therapy in cellular signaling and epigenetic insight into chemo-resistance.

Chemoresistance remains the primary cause of cancer treatment failure, yet current understanding remains fragmented across isolated mechanistic studies. This review provides a unified framework linking tumor microenvironment (TME) signaling, epigenetic reprogramming, and nanotherapeutic intervention as an integrated axis driving and potentially reversing chemoresistance. We systematically examine how TME components: hypoxia (HIF-1α pathway), acidosis, cancer-associated fibroblasts (TGF-β/PDGF signaling), and immune cells (NF-κB-mediated immunosuppression) activate signaling cascades that direc

Checking NEKs: Overcoming a Bottleneck in Human Diseases.

In previous years, several kinases, such as phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK), have been linked to important human diseases, although some kinase families remain neglected in terms of research, hiding their relevance to therapeutic approaches. Here, a review regarding the NEK family is presented, shedding light on important information related to NEKs and human diseases. NEKs are a large group of homologous kinases with related functions and structures that participate in several cellular processes such as th

A severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nosocomial cluster with inter-facility spread: Lessons learned.

Исправленный вариант: IL-12 p40 Monomer отличается от других IL-12 членов семьи на выборочно Inhibit IL-12Rβ1 Internalization and Concepting EAE.

Множественный склероз (MS) — самая распространенная болезнь человека, обезвоживающая CNS. Семья IL-12 состоит из четырех членов: IL-12 (p40:p35), IL-23 (p40:p19), p40 мономера (p40) и p40 гомодимера (p402). Поскольку все четыре члена содержат p40 в различных формах, важно использовать специальные моноклонные антитела (mAb) для характеристики этих молекул. Здесь, используя такой mAb, мы описываем выборочную потерю p40 в сыворотке пациентов с MS по сравнению со здоровым контролем. Аналогичным образом, мы также заметили сокращение p40 и увеличение IL-12, IL-23 и p402 в сыворотке мышей с экспериме

Computational Drug Repurposing Across the Multiple Myeloma Spectrum: From MGUS to MM.

Background/objectivesMultiple myeloma (MM) is a challenging, B cell malignancy characterised by the uncontrolled proliferation of plasma cells within the bone marrow. Despite significant advances in treatment options nowadays, MM remains an incurable malignancy, with the majority of patients succumbing to the disease. MM develops from a pre-malignant state known as monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS), which then has the potential to evolve either into smouldering (asymptomatic) multiple myeloma (SMM) or into MM. Since novel drug discovery takes years to reach the clinic, drug

Circadian clock and cancer.

Circadian rhythms play a critical role in regulating physiological and behavioral processes, such as the sleep-wake cycle, hormone secretion, and metabolism. These rhythms are controlled by endogenous biological clocks, which are synchronized with environmental cues, primarily the light-dark cycle. Notably, disruption or reprogramming of circadian rhythms is closely associated with cancer initiation, progression, and treatment response. At the molecular level, the dysregulation of core clock genes can disturb normal cellular rhythms, leading to aberrant cell proliferation, impaired DNA repair,
