Targeted Protein Degradation in Cancer: PROTACs, New Targets, and Clinical Mechanisms.

The onset of proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) has reshaped the entire context of targeted cancer therapy by offering a novel approach for the selective degradation of disease-causing proteins, overcoming the limitations of traditional occupancy-driven inhibition. This heterobifunctional technology recruits endogenous E3 ubiquitin ligases to mark proteins of interest (POI) for proteosomal degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). Unlike conventional inhibitors, PROTACs function catalytically and can target previously "undruggable proteins", such as transcription factors, sc

Engineered mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes: A revolutionary approach to unlocking liver disease treatment.

Exosomes, a specific type of extracellular vesicle with diameters ranging from 30 to 150 nm, play a vital role in coordinating various physiological and pathological processes through direct cell-to-cell communication. These vesicles transport a diverse range of molecules, including proteins, mRNAs, miRNAs, and lipids, that originate from parent cells. Exosomes are released by nearly all cell types, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and possess significant potential due to their regenerative and immunomodulatory properties. In the context of liver disease treatment, these capabilities o

Целенаправленная деградация белка разрушает ненаркомные цели, чтобы обратить вспять иммунное уклонение и терапию устойчивости к раку.

Таргетированная деградация белков (ТД) использует эндогенные протеолитические системы — систему убиквина и протеасомы и лизосомальные пути — для селективного удаления белков, вызывающих болезни, которые не реагируют на традиционное ингибирование. В онкологической иммунотерапии ТД разрушает критические иммунодепрессивные узлы в экзоцитоплазматическом, мембранном и цитоплазматическом компартментах, перепрограммируя микросреду опухоли от иммунологически «холодной» к «горячей» состоянию. Эта статья рассматривает молекулярные принципы инженерии бифункциональных деградаторов и обобщает клинические д

Cellular Senescence and Aging: Mechanisms, Disease Convergence, and Therapeutic Frontiers.

Cellular senescence, a stress-induced, irreversible cell cycle arrest coupled with a proinflammatory secretory phenotype, has emerged as both a central driver of aging and a tractable therapeutic target. Although acute senescence contributes beneficially to tumor suppression and wound healing, chronic accumulation of senescent cells sustains systemic inflammaging and accelerates organ dysfunction. This review synthesizes current progress in aging biology into a unified mechanistic and translational framework. We first examine how primary aging hallmarks, such as genomic instability and epigene

Antibody drug conjugate: the "biological missile" for targeted cancer therapy.

Antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) is typically composed of a monoclonal antibody (mAbs) covalently attached to a cytotoxic drug via a chemical linker. It combines both the advantages of highly specific targeting ability and highly potent killing effect to achieve accurate and efficient elimination of cancer cells, which has become one of the hotspots for the research and development of anticancer drugs. Since the first ADC, Mylotarg® (gemtuzumab ozogamicin), was approved in 2000 by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), there have been 14 ADCs received market approval so far worldwide. Moreove

The sirtuin family in health and disease.

Sirtuins (SIRTs) are nicotine adenine dinucleotide(+)-dependent histone deacetylases regulating critical signaling pathways in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and are involved in numerous biological processes. Currently, seven mammalian homologs of yeast Sir2 named SIRT1 to SIRT7 have been identified. Increasing evidence has suggested the vital roles of seven members of the SIRT family in health and disease conditions. Notably, this protein family plays a variety of important roles in cellular biology such as inflammation, metabolism, oxidative stress, and apoptosis, etc., thus, it is considered a

Unveiling the role of histone deacetylases in neurological diseases: focus on epilepsy.

Epilepsy remains a prevalent chronic neurological disease that is featured by aberrant, recurrent and hypersynchronous discharge of neurons and poses a great challenge to healthcare systems. Although several therapeutic interventions are successfully utilized for treating epilepsy, they can merely provide symptom relief but cannot exert disease-modifying effect. Therefore, it is of urgent need to explore other potential mechanism to develop a novel approach to delay the epileptic progression. Since approximately 30 years ago, histone deacetylases (HDACs), the versatile epigenetic regulators re

Amino acids metabolism: a potential target for cancer treatment.

Metabolic reprogramming of amino acids has been recognized as a significant characteristic in various types of cancers. Numerous studies have indicated that the metabolic reprogramming of amino acids in tumors significantly supports certain malignant behaviors, including tumor proliferation, survival, invasion, and even immune escape. Amino acids can provide biomolecules such as nucleotides and glutathione (GSH) for tumors, and the bioavailability of amino acids influences tumor progression. Meanwhile, as essential metabolites, amino acids are closely associated with immune cell activation and

Role of Nanomedicine-Based Therapeutics in the Treatment of CNS Disorders.

Central nervous system disorders, especially neurodegenerative diseases, are a public health priority and demand a strong scientific response. Various therapy procedures have been used in the past, but their therapeutic value has been insufficient. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier is two of the barriers that protect the central nervous system (CNS), but are the main barriers to medicine delivery into the CNS for treating CNS disorders, such as brain tumors, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and Huntington's disease. Nanotechnology-based medicinal

Biomolecular condensates as dynamic regulators of musculoskeletal homeostasis, disease, and therapeutic challenges.

Biomolecular condensates are membraneless assemblies that concentrate proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules into dynamic cellular compartments. Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is one important route by which such condensates form, particularly when multivalent interactions generate liquid-like, reversible assemblies. However, not every condensate or disease-associated assembly should be explained solely by LLPS. In the musculoskeletal system, condensates have been linked to transcription, signal transduction, RNA metabolism, stress responses, tissue development, homeostasis, an

It summarizes findings from early clinical and preclinical studies, comparing several carrier types such as ionizable lipid nanoparticles, polymeric

The role of autophagy in cancer: from molecular mechanism to therapeutic window.

Autophagy is a cellular degradation process that plays a crucial role in maintaining metabolic homeostasis under conditions of stress or nutrient deprivation. This process involves sequestering, breaking down, and recycling intracellular components such as proteins, organelles, and cytoplasmic materials. Autophagy also serves as a mechanism for eliminating pathogens and engulfing apoptotic cells. In the absence of stress, baseline autophagy activity is essential for degrading damaged cellular components and recycling nutrients to maintain cellular vitality. The relationship between autophagy a
