Involvement of the Opioid Peptide Family in Cancer Progression.

Peptides mediate cancer progression favoring the mitogenesis, migration, and invasion of tumor cells, promoting metastasis and anti-apoptotic mechanisms, and facilitating angiogenesis/lymphangiogenesis. Tumor cells overexpress peptide receptors, crucial targets for developing specific treatments against cancer cells using peptide receptor antagonists and promoting apoptosis in tumor cells. Opioids exert an antitumoral effect, whereas others promote tumor growth and metastasis. This review updates the findings regarding the involvement of opioid peptides (enkephalins, endorphins, and dynorphins

Exosomal delivery of TRAIL and miR‑335 for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (Review).

Liver cancer is the sixth most prevalent type of cancer worldwide and accounts for the third most frequent cause of cancer‑associated mortality. Conventional anticancer drugs display limited efficacy owing to their short half‑life, poor solubility and inefficient drug delivery. Despite advancements being made in drug discovery and development for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), drug inefficacy and drug continue to pose significant obstacles to effective treatment. Therefore, it is imperative that novel treatment strategies be developed with the aim of developing anticancer tre

Immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer therapy: Review of orofacial adverse events and role of the oral healthcare provider.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a revolutionary class of antineoplastic therapy that restore anti-tumor immunity. Consequences of this enhanced immune response include a multitude of immune related adverse events (irAEs) that can affect any body system, including the mouth. Orofacial irAEs reproduce features of numerous immune-mediated conditions, including oral lichen planus, mucous membrane pemphigoid, and Sjögren syndrome, among others. The aim of this review is to summarize known orofacial irAEs and to familiarize oral healthcare providers with how to identify and manage these toxi

От ожирения до митохондриальной дисфункции в периферальных тканях и в центральной нервной системе.

Ожирение - это состояние хронического низкосортного воспаления, затрагивающего периферийные органы тела, а также центральную нервную систему. Дефункция жировой ткани, возникающая в условиях ожирения, является ключевым фактором возникновения и развития различных заболеваний, включая нейродегенеративные расстройства. Митохондрия, ключевые органеллы в производстве клеточной энергии, играет важную роль в этой дисфункции тканей. В многочисленных исследованиях подчеркивается тесная связь между ожирением и дисфункцией митохондриалов адипоцита, что приводит к чрезмерному производству ROS и воспалению

Сравнительный анализ нервно-воспалительных путей болезни Альцгеймера, болезни Паркинсона и множественного склероза: понимание сходства и различий.

Растет интерес к нейродегенеративным болезням, усугубляющим значительное социально-экономическое бремя, вызванное старением общества. Несмотря на то, что каждая болезнь имеет различные этиологии, нейроинфламмация, как считается, играет решающую роль в болезни Альцгеймера (AD), болезни Паркинсона (PD) и множественном склерозе (MS). Помимо патогенной функции воспаления мозга, растет число свидетельств того, что иммунная реакция необходима для нейрорегенерации. Этот обзор сравнивает и контрастирует с нейроинфламационными путями, которые характерны для различных нейродегенеративных заболеваний. В

SUMOylation and NEDDylation in Primary and Metastatic Cancers to Bone.

Post-translational modifications comprise series of enzymatically-driven chemical modifications, virtually involving the entire cell proteome, that affect the fate of a target protein and, in turn, cell activity. Different classes of modifications can be established ranging from phosphorylation, glycosylation, ubiquitination, acetylation, methylation, lipidation and their inverse reactions. Among these, SUMOylation and NEDDylation are ubiquitin-like multi-enzymatic processes that determine the bound of SUMOs and NEDD8 labels, respectively, on defined amino acidic residues of a specific protein

The habenula as a novel link between the homeostatic and hedonic pathways in cancer-associated weight loss: a pilot study.

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the brain mechanisms underlying cancer-associated weight loss (C-WL) in humans despite this condition negatively affecting their quality of life and survival. We tested the hypothesis that patients with C-WL have abnormal connectivity in homeostatic and hedonic brain pathways together with altered brain activity during food reward. METHODS: In 12 patients with cancer and 12 healthy controls, resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC, resting brain activity observed through changes in blood flow in the brain which creates a blood oxygen level-dependent signa

Clinical development of targeted and immune based anti-cancer therapies.

Cancer is currently the second leading cause of death globally and is expected to be responsible for approximately 9.6 million deaths in 2018. With an unprecedented understanding of the molecular pathways that drive the development and progression of human cancers, novel targeted therapies have become an exciting new development for anti-cancer medicine. These targeted therapies, also known as biologic therapies, have become a major modality of medical treatment, by acting to block the growth of cancer cells by specifically targeting molecules required for cell growth and tumorigenesis. Due to

Mesenchymal stromal cells for bone sarcoma treatment: Roadmap to clinical practice.

Over the past few decades, there has been growing interest in understanding the molecular mechanisms of cancer pathogenesis and progression, as it is still associated with high morbidity and mortality. Current management of large bone sarcomas typically includes the complex therapeutic approach of limb salvage or sacrifice combined with pre- and postoperative multidrug chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, and is still associated with high recurrence rates. The development of cellular strategies against specific characteristics of tumour cells appears to be promising, as they can target cancer cel

Emerging Mechanisms and Treatment Progress on Liver Metastasis of Colorectal Cancer.

Colorectal cancer is currently the third largest malignant tumor in the world, with high new cases and high mortality. Metastasis is one of the most common causes of death of colorectal cancer, of which liver metastasis is the most fatal. Since the beginning of the Human Genome Project in 2001, people have gradually recognized the 3 billion base pairs that make up the human genome, of which only about 1.5% of the nucleic acid sequences are used for protein coding, including proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. A large number of differences in the expression of proto-oncogenes and tumor

Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Therapy in Solid Organ Transplantation.

Transplantation is the gold-standard treatment for the failure of several solid organs, including the kidneys, liver, heart, lung and small bowel. The use of tailored immunosuppressive agents has improved graft and patient survival remarkably in early post-transplant stages, but long-term outcomes are frequently unsatisfactory due to the development of chronic graft rejection, which ultimately leads to transplant failure. Moreover, prolonged immunosuppression entails severe side effects that severely impact patient survival and quality of life. The achievement of tolerance, i.e., stable graft

Obesity, inflammation, and cancer in dogs: Review and perspectives.

Obesity is the most common nutritional disease in dogs, and its prevalence has increased in recent decades. Several countries have demonstrated a prevalence of obesity in dogs similar to that observed in humans. Chronic low-grade inflammation is a prominent basis used to explain how obesity results in numerous negative health consequences. This is well known and understood, and recent studies have pointed to the association between obesity and predisposition to specific types of cancers and their complications. Such elucidations are important because, like obesity, the prevalence of cancer in

The Biogenesis and Functions of piRNAs in Human Diseases.

Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a novel type of small noncoding RNAs, which are 26-30 nt in length and bind to Piwi proteins. These short RNAs were originally discovered in germline cells and are considered as key regulators for germline maintenance. A growing body of evidence has now extended our views into piRNA biological significance showing that they can also regulate gene expression in somatic cells through transposon silencing, epigenetic programming, DNA rearrangements, mRNA turnover, and translational control. Mounting studies have revealed that the dysregulation of piRNAs may caus

Цифровые сигнатуры усталости и износа у пациентов с множественным склерозом во время родов.

Симптомы выпадения (WoS) во время родовспоможения (NTZ) часто интерпретируются как субклинические заболевания у пациентов с множественным склерозом (PwMS), однако их значение остается неопределенным. В перспективном исследовании " SATURATE " ( " Один центр " )NCT05701423), мы изучили, связана ли ВОС с воспалительными или нейродегенеративными повреждениями и является ли износимость мониторинга улавливанием изменений, связанных с двигателем. Thirty-four :: были зачислены лица, прошедшие лечение в НТЗ; 28 завершено 6-month Последующая деятельность и 21 :: обеспечивала доступны

Targeting Cancer Stem Cell Markers or Pathways: A Potential Therapeutic Strategy for Oral Cancer Treatment.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small subset of cancer cells with stem cell-like properties, self-renewal potential, and differentiation capacity into multiple cell types. Critical genetic alterations or aberrantly activated signaling pathways associated with drug resistance and recurrence have been observed in multiple types of CSCs. In this context, CSCs are considered to be responsible for tumor initiation, growth, progression, therapeutic resistance, and metastasis. Therefore, to effectively eradicate CSCs, tremendous efforts have been devoted to identify specific target molecules that play

Lomitapide repurposing for treatment of malignancies: A promising direction.

The development of novel drugs from basic science to clinical practice requires several years, much effort, and cost. Drug repurposing can promote the utilization of clinical drugs in cancer therapy. Recent studies have shown the potential effects of lomitapide on treating malignancies, which is currently used for the treatment of familial hypercholesterolemia. We systematically review possible functions and mechanisms of lomitapide as an anti-tumor compound, regarding the aspects of apoptosis, autophagy, and metabolism of tumor cells, to support repurposing lomitapide for the clinical treatme

Hematopoietic chimerism and transplantation tolerance: a role for regulatory T cells.

The immunosuppressive regimens currently used in transplantation to prevent allograft destruction by the host's immune system have deleterious side effects and fail to control chronic rejection processes. Induction of donor-specific non-responsiveness (i.e., immunological tolerance) to transplants would solve these problems and would substantially ameliorate patients' quality of life. It has been proposed that bone marrow or hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation, and resulting (mixed) hematopoietic chimerism, lead to immunological tolerance to organs of the same donor. However, a careful ana

Obesity and cancer.

Weight, weight gain, and obesity account for approximately 20% of all cancer cases. Evidence on the relation of each to cancer is summarized, including esophageal, thyroid, colon, renal, liver, melanoma, multiple myeloma, rectum, gallbladder, leukemia, lymphoma, and prostate in men; and postmenopausal breast and endometrium in women. Different mechanisms drive etiologic pathways for these cancers. Weight loss, particularly among postmenopausal women, reduces risk for breast cancer. Among cancer patients, data are less robust, but we note a long history of poor outcomes after breast cancer amon

An update on malignant tumor-related stiff person syndrome spectrum disorders: clinical mechanism, treatment, and outcomes.

Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a rare central nervous system disorder associated with malignancies. In this review, we retrieved information from PubMed, up until August 2023, using various search terms and their combinations, including SPS, stiff person syndrome spectrum disorders (SPSSDs), paraneoplastic, cancer, and malignant tumor. Data from peer-reviewed journals printed in English were organized to explain the possible relationships between different carcinomas and SPSSD subtypes, as well as related autoantigens. From literature searching, it was revealed that breast cancer was the most
