Anti-tumour activity of bisphosphonates in preclinical models of breast cancer.

There is increasing evidence of anti-tumour effects of bisphosphonates from pre-clinical studies, supporting a role for these drugs beyond their traditional use in treatment of cancer-induced bone disease. A range of model systems have been used to investigate the effects of different bisphosphonates on tumour growth, both in bone and at peripheral sites. Most of these studies conclude that bisphosphonates cause a reduction in tumour burden, but that early intervention and the use of high and/or repeated dosing is required. Successful eradication of cancer may only be achievable by targeting t

Aberrant NSUN2-mediated m5C modification of exosomal LncRNA MALAT1 induced RANKL-mediated bone destruction in multiple myeloma.

The impact of exosome-mediated crosstalk between multiple myeloma (MM) cells and osteoclasts (OCs) on bone lesions remains to be investigated. Here, we identified NSUN2 and YBX1-mediated m5C modifications upregulated LncRNA MALAT1 expression in MM cells, which could be transported to OCs via exosomes and promote bone lesions. Methodologically, RNA-seq was carried out to detect the cargoes of exosomes. TRAP staining and WB were used to evaluate osteoclastogenesis in vitro. Micro-CT and bone histomorphometric analyses were performed to identify bone destruction in vivo. RNA pull-down, RIP, MeRIP

Dysregulation of JAK-STAT pathway in hematological malignancies and JAK inhibitors for clinical application.

JAK-STAT (Janus associated kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription) pathway plays a critical role in transduction of extracellular signals from cytokines and growth factors involved in hematopoiesis, immune regulation, fertility, lactation, growth and embryogenesis. JAK family contains four cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases, JAK1-3 and Tyk2. Seven STAT proteins have been identified in human cells, STAT1-6, including STAT5a and STAT5b. Negative regulators of JAK-STAT pathways include tyrosine phosphatases (SHP1 and 2, CD45), protein inhibitors of activated STATs (PIAS), suppressors o

The Role of Macrophage in the Pathogenesis of Osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is a systemic disease with progressive bone loss. The bone loss is associated with an imbalance between bone resorption via osteoclasts and bone formation via osteoblasts. Other cells including T cells, B cells, macrophages, and osteocytes are also involved in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Different cytokines from activated macrophages can regulate or stimulate the development of osteoclastogenesis-associated bone loss. The fusion of macrophages can form multinucleated osteoclasts and, thus, cause bone resorption via the expression of IL-4 and IL-13. Different cytokines, endoc

Circular RNA as a Novel Biomarker for Diagnosis and Prognosis and Potential Therapeutic Targets in Multiple Myeloma.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel type of covalently closed RNAs involved in several physiological and pathological processes. They display tissue-specific expression and are constant, abundant, and highly conserved, making them perfect markers for diagnosis and prognosis. Several studies have proposed that circRNAs are also differentially produced in malignancies where they have oncogenic effects. Furthermore, circRNAs affecting microRNAs modify the expression profile of several transcription factors which play essential roles in tumors. CircRNAs within the hematopoietic compartment were i

Molecular Classification and Pharmacogenetics of Primary Plasma Cell Leukemia: An Initial Approach toward Precision Medicine.

Primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL) is a rare and aggressive variant of multiple myeloma (MM) which may represent a valid model for high-risk MM. This disease is associated with a very poor prognosis, and unfortunately, it has not significantly improved during the last three decades. New high-throughput technologies have allowed a better understanding of the molecular basis of this disease and moved toward risk stratification, providing insights for targeted therapy studies. This knowledge, added to the pharmacogenetic profile of new and old agents in the analysis of efficacy and safety, could

Novel Therapeutic Approaches in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric malignancy, characterized by the clonal proliferation of immature lymphoid precursors. The distinction between B-cell ALL (B-ALL) and T-cell ALL (T-ALL) is fundamental, as each subtype exhibits distinct cytomorphological, genetic, and clinical features influencing prognosis and therapeutic strategies. Conventional multi-phase chemotherapy has significantly improved survival rates, yet its efficacy is limited by severe short- and long-term toxicities, highlighting the need for more selective therapeutic approaches. Advances in mole

Research advances of lactylation modification in breast cancer.

Breast cancer (BC), a leading cause of cancer mortality in women, involves complex molecular mechanisms including post-translational modifications (PTMs). While common PTMs are well-studied, lactylation-a novel PTM linking metabolism to epigenetics-has emerged as a critical regulator in BC pathogenesis. The high concentration of lactate caused by the Warburg effect makes lactylation in tumor tissue possible. Machine learning enhances the discovery and analysis of lactylation sites by processing large datasets, revealing patterns that influence tumor behavior and patient outcomes. This review o

A comprehensive overview on antibody-drug conjugates: from the conceptualization to cancer therapy.

Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) represent an innovative class of potent anti-cancer compounds that are widely used in the treatment of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. Unlike conventional chemotherapeutic drug-based therapies, that are mainly associated with modest specificity and therapeutic benefit, the three key components that form an ADC (a monoclonal antibody bound to a cytotoxic drug via a chemical linker moiety) achieve remarkable improvement in terms of targeted killing of cancer cells and, while sparing healthy tissues, a reduction in systemic side effects caused by off-tum

Another Weapon against Cancer and Metastasis: Physical-Activity-Dependent Effects on Adiposity and Adipokines.

Physically active behavior has been associated with a reduced risk of developing certain types of cancer and improved psychological conditions for patients by reducing anxiety and depression, in turn improving the quality of life of cancer patients. On the other hand, the correlations between inactivity, sedentary behavior, and overweight and obesity with the risk of development and progression of various cancers are well studied, mainly in middle-aged and elderly subjects. In this article, we have revised the evidence on the effects of physical activity on the expression and release of the ad

Second-Generation Jak2 Inhibitors for Advanced Prostate Cancer: Are We Ready for Clinical Development?

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for metastatic and high-risk prostate cancer (PC) inhibits growth pathways driven by the androgen receptor (AR). Over time, ADT leads to the emergence of lethal castrate-resistant PC (CRPC), which is consistently caused by an acquired ability of tumors to re-activate AR. This has led to the development of second-generation anti-androgens that more effectively antagonize AR, such as enzalutamide (ENZ). However, the resistance of CRPC to ENZ develops rapidly. Studies utilizing preclinical models of PC have established that inhibition of the Jak2-Stat5 signaling
