Targeting of mitochondrial fission through natural flavanones elicits anti-myeloma activity.

BackgroundMitochondrial alterations, often dependent on unbalanced mitochondrial dynamics, feature in the pathobiology of human cancers, including multiple myeloma (MM). Flavanones are natural flavonoids endowed with mitochondrial targeting activities. Herein, we investigated the capability of Hesperetin (Hes) and Naringenin (Nar), two aglycones of Hesperidin and Naringin flavanone glycosides, to selectively target Drp1, a pivotal regulator of mitochondrial dynamics, prompting anti-MM activity.MethodsMolecular docking analyses were performed on the crystallographic structure of Dynamin-1-like

Localized Drug Delivery Systems: An Update on Treatment Options for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most common cancers in the world, with surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy being the primary treatment modalities. The treatment for HNSCC has evolved over time, due to which the prognosis has improved drastically. Despite the varied treatment options, major challenges persist.

Moreover, the systemic administration of salivary stimulating agent

A Review of Approaches to Potentiate the Activity of Temozolomide against Glioblastoma to Overcome Resistance.

A glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most aggressive, infiltrative, and treatment-resistant malignancies of the central nervous system (CNS). The current standard of care for GBMs include maximally safe tumor resection, followed by concurrent adjuvant radiation treatment and chemotherapy with the DNA alkylating agent temozolomide (TMZ), which was approved by the FDA in 2005 based on a marginal increase (~2 months) in overall survival (OS) levels. This treatment approach, while initially successful in containing and treating GBM, almost invariably fails to prevent tumor recurrence. In addition to

Single-cell sequencing in molecular diagnostics: Transformative yet untapped potential.

Single-cell sequencing (SCS) techniques have the potential to offer precise insights into cellular diversity by revealing unique genetic and transcriptomic profiles at the single-cell level. This advanced technology has been used extensively in research, but it has still not translated to clinical diagnostics, despite its potential.

However, the integration of SCS into clinical practice is challenging. This review discusses the potential of SCS technologie

Current Landscape of Genome-Wide Association Studies in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Review.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clonal hematopoietic disease that arises from chromosomal and genetic aberrations in myeloid precursor cells. AML is one of the most common types of acute leukemia in adults; however, it is relatively rare overall, comprising about 1% of all cancers. In the last decade or so, numerous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been conducted to screen between hundreds of thousands and millions of variants across many human genomes to discover genetic polymorphisms associated with a particular disease or phenotype. In oncology, GWAS has been performed in almos

Tuning epigenetics to enhance cancer virotherapy.

Cancer remains a major global health challenge, driving intensive research into novel therapeutic strategies. Oncolytic viruses (OVs) including herpesviruses, adenoviruses and echoviruses, have emerged as promising agents for cancer treatment, with several achieving regulatory approval. These viruses selectively lyse tumor cells and stimulate antitumor immunity. Nevertheless, their efficacy is constrained by limitations such as neutralization by serum factors and tumor cell resistance. Concurrently, epigenetic inhibitors modulate gene expression to suppress tumor proliferation and reshape immu

What nature has to offer: Opportunities for immuno-oncology.

Recent rapid development of cancer therapy has come about with the paradigm shift from the traditional goal of targeting cancer cells themselves, to reprograming the immune tumor microenvironment. Accumulating evidence shows that compounds that target epigenetic regulation, called epidrugs, play a crucial role in mediating the immunogenicity of cancer cells and in reshaping antitumor immunity. A large body of literature has recognized natural compounds as epigenetic modulators for their immunomodulatory effects and anticancer potential. Unifying our understanding of the role of these biologica

Involvement of Resveratrol against Brain Cancer: A Combination Strategy with a Pharmaceutical Approach.

A brain tumor (BT) is a condition in which there is growth or uncontrolled development of the brain cells, which usually goes unrecognized or is diagnosed at the later stages. Since the mechanism behind BT is not clear, and the various physiological conditions are difficult to diagnose, the success rate of BT is not very high. This is the central issue faced during drug development and clinical trials with almost all types of neurodegenerative disorders. In the first part of this review, we focus on the concept of brain tumors, their barriers, and the types of delivery possible to target the b

Emerging insights into the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and its implications for glioblastoma immunotherapy.

Glioblastoma is considered the most common and lethal form of brain cancer. Despite tremendous progress in glioblastoma therapeutics, the profound intra- and inter-tumoral heterogeneity of glioblastoma tumors, the difficulty of agents to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), the development of drug resistance as well as the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) predominantly account for the failure of existing conventional and targeted therapies. Therefore, there is a growing necessity to decipher the complexity of the TME that promotes immunosuppression and to discover innovative stra

Multiple Facets of Autophagy and the Emerging Role of Alkylphosphocholines as Autophagy Modulators.

Autophagy is a highly conserved multistep process and functions as passage for degrading and recycling protein aggregates and defective organelles in eukaryotic cells. Based on the nature of these materials, their size and degradation rate, four types of autophagy have been described, i.e. chaperone mediated autophagy, microautophagy, macroautophagy, and selective autophagy. One of the major regulators of this process is mTOR, which inhibits the downstream pathway of autophagy following the activation of its complex 1 (mTORC1). Alkylphosphocholine (APC) derivatives represent a novel class of a

The impact of gut microbial signals on hematopoietic stem cells and the bone marrow microenvironment.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) undergo self-renewal and differentiation in the bone marrow, which is tightly regulated by cues from the microenvironment. The gut microbiota, a dynamic community residing on the mucosal surface of vertebrates, plays a crucial role in maintaining host health. Recent evidence suggests that the gut microbiota influences HSCs differentiation by modulating the bone marrow microenvironment through microbial products. This paper comprehensively analyzes the impact of the gut microbiota on hematopoiesis and its effect on HSCs fate and differentiation by modifying the b

Вирус Эпштейн-Барр, витамин D и иммунная реакция: связи с последствиями множественного склероза.

Множественный склероз (MS) — аутоиммунное заболевание центральной нервной системы (CNS) без какого-либо окончательного запуска. Однако эпидемиологические исследования показывают, что важными факторами риска являются такие экологические факторы, как инфекция вируса Эпштейн-Барр (ЭБВ) и низкий уровень витамина D (вид D) у генетически предрасположенных лиц. Одно из ведущих предложений заключается в том, что EBV приводит в действие MS с помощью таких механизмов, как молекулярная имитация, где активированные автоматически реактивные B и T лимфоциты ошибочно нацелены на самоантигены.
