Extracellular Vesicles in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: Tumor Microenvironment Messengers as a Basis for New Targeted Therapies?

In addition to intrinsic genomic and nongenomic alterations, tumor progression is also dependent on the tumor microenvironment (TME, mainly composed of the extracellular matrix (ECM), secreted factors, and bystander immune and stromal cells). In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), B cells have a defect in cell death; contact with the TME in secondary lymphoid organs dramatically increases the B cells' survival via the activation of various molecular pathways, including the B cell receptor and CD40 signaling. Conversely, CLL cells increase the permissiveness of the TME by inducing changes in th

Novel Interleukin-6 Inducible Gene PDZ-Binding Kinase Promotes Tumor Growth of Multiple Myeloma Cells.

[Figure: see text] Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an intractable hematological malignancy, despite recent advances in anti-MM drugs. Here, we show that role of PDZ binding kinase (PBK) in MM tumor growth. We identified that interleukin-6 (IL-6) readily increases PBK expression. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the MM patients with higher expression of PBK have a significant shorter survival time compared with those with moderate/lower expression of PBK. Knockout of PBK dramatically suppressed in vivo tumor growth in MM cells, while genome editing of PBK changing from asparagine to serine subst

Протеиновый профиль множественных миеломных экстраклелярных везиков для открытия биомаркеров, связанных с новелом миеломой.

Несмотря на терапевтические достижения, множественная миелома (ММ) по-прежнему характеризуется продвижением и рецидивом, что подчеркивает необходимость надежных биомаркеров для раннего обнаружения и мониторинга. Внешнеклеточные везикулы (ЭМ) представляют собой клеточные, липидные двуслойные частицы, которые способствуют межклеточному общению и циркулируют в жидкостях тела, что делает их перспективными биомаркерами. В этом исследовании проводится сопоставление протеома ЭМ, полученного с помощью ММ, с материнскими клетками и оценивается, является ли ЭМ высшим источником биомаркеров с учетом ММ.

Collateral Victim or Rescue Worker?-The Role of Histone Methyltransferases in DNA Damage Repair and Their Targeting for Therapeutic Opportunities in Cancer.

Disrupted DNA damage signaling greatly threatens cell integrity and plays significant roles in cancer.

Megakaryocyte Contribution to Bone Marrow Fibrosis: many Arrows in the Quiver.

In Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF), megakaryocyte dysplasia/hyperplasia determines the release of inflammatory cytokines that, in turn, stimulate stromal cells and induce bone marrow fibrosis. The pathogenic mechanism and the cells responsible for progression to bone marrow fibrosis in PMF are not completely understood. This review article aims to provide an overview of the crucial role of megakaryocytes in myelofibrosis by discussing the role and the altered secretion of megakaryocyte-derived soluble factors, enzymes and extracellular matrices that are known to induce bone marrow fibrosis.

The cross talk of ubiquitination and chemotherapy tolerance in colorectal cancer.

Ubiquitination, a highly adaptable post-translational modification, plays a pivotal role in maintaining cellular protein homeostasis, encompassing cancer chemoresistance-associated proteins. Recent findings have indicated a potential correlation between perturbations in the ubiquitination process and the emergence of drug resistance in CRC cancer. Consequently, numerous studies have spurred the advancement of compounds specifically designed to target ubiquitinates, offering promising prospects for cancer therapy. In this review, we highlight the role of ubiquitination enzymes associated with c

LAP2α drives breast tumorigenesis by mitigating replication stress.

Replication protein A (RPA) plays a vital role in replication stress response, with RPA-coated single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) acting as a critical platform for the coordination of the genome surveillance machinery. In previous studies, we reported that the lamin-associated protein LAP2α interacts physically with RPA, aiding its localization to damaged chromatin for genome protection. However, the significance of the LAP2α-mediated RPA deposition in tumor progression remains unclear. Here, we reveal that LAP2α promotes breast tumorigenesis by counteracting replication stress-induced DNA damage. Fu

Roadmap for new practitioners to navigate the multiple myeloma landscape.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a blood cancer in which monoclonal plasma cells cause end organ damage resulting in hypercalcemia, renal failure, anemia, and bone lesions. MM is considered incurable, however, recent advances in treatment have improved survival. Historically, MM has been treated with immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), proteosome inhibitors (PIs), and corticosteroids. While newer therapeutic approaches such as monoclonal antibodies and cellular therapies have broadened the treatment horizon, the selection and sequencing of these therapies has become more complex. This review aims to help

Long-term follow up of tandem autologous-allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for multiple myeloma.

We previously reported initial results in 102 multiple myeloma (MM) patients treated with sequential high-dose melphalan and autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation followed by 200 cGy total body irradiation with or without fludarabine 90 mg/m2 and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Here we present long-term clinical outcomes among the 102 initial patients and among 142 additional patients, with a median follow up of 8.3 (range 1.0-18.1) years. Donors included human leukocyte antigen identical siblings (n=179) and HLA-matched unrelated donors (n=65). A total of 209 patients (

MUKnine OPTIMUM protocol: a screening study to identify high-risk patients with multiple myeloma suitable for novel treatment approaches combined with a phase II study evaluating optimised combination of biological therapy in newly diagnosed high-risk multiple myeloma and plasma cell leukaemia.

INTRODUCTION: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell tumour with over 5800 new cases each year in the UK. The introduction of biological therapies has improved outcomes for the majority of patients with MM, but in approximately 20% of patients the tumour is characterised by genetic changes which confer a significantly poorer prognosis, generally termed high-risk (HR) MM. It is important to diagnose these genetic changes early and identify more effective first-line treatment options for these patients. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The Myeloma UK nine OPTIMUM trial (MUKnine) evaluates novel treatment

The crosstalk network of non-coding RNAs: Emerging opportunities for the clinical application of osteoporosis.

Current methods for testing bone density lack the capability to detect patients with early bone loss, and existing osteoporosis therapies have limitations in their efficacy and safety. Therefore, the development of more precise and convenient diagnostic technologies and novel treatments is of paramount importance. Extracellular vesicle (EV)-mediated non-coding RNA (ncRNA) interaction networks enable both the detection of early bone loss and targeted therapy for enhanced treatment outcomes. In this review, we highlight the utility of EVs for carrying various ncRNAs (e.g., miRNAs, lncRNAs, and c

Mechanisms of Cancer Resistance to Immunotherapy.

Over the last decade, based on the extensive development of preclinical animal studies and clinical trials, the efficacy, and mechanisms of immunotherapy have been fully explored. Significant and lasting clinical responses with immunotherapy provide a new breakthrough treatment for a variety of refractory cancer histologies, which gradually change the treatment pattern of tumors. However, although immune checkpoint inhibitor drugs are promising for achieving longer-term efficacy, their benefits in the overall population are still very low, such as low frequency of response in some common tumor

Acute myeloid leukemia: from NGS, through scRNA-seq, to CAR-T. dissect cancer heterogeneity and tailor the treatment.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignant blood cancer with marked cellular heterogeneity due to altered maturation and differentiation of myeloid blasts, the possible causes of which are transcriptional or epigenetic alterations, impaired apoptosis, and excessive cell proliferation. This neoplasm has a high rate of resistance to anticancer therapies and thus a high risk of relapse and mortality because of both the biological diversity of the patient and intratumoral heterogeneity due to the acquisition of new somatic changes. For more than 40 years, the old gold standard "one size fits all"

Exportin 1 as a Therapeutic Target to Overcome Drug Resistance in Lung Cancer.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality, with therapeutic resistance continuing to limit long-term responses. Among emerging resistance mechanisms, dysregulation of nucleocytoplasmic transport has gained attention for its ability to inactivate tumor suppressor pathways. Exportin 1 (XPO1), the primary nuclear export protein, is frequently overexpressed in NSCLC and promotes the cytoplasmic mislocalization of proteins involved in cell cycle control, apoptosis, and DNA repair. This includes key regulators such as p53, FOXO, and RB, whose inactivati
