Update on Classic and Novel Approaches in Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Treatment: A Comprehensive Review.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for almost 15% of all diagnosed breast cancers and often presents high rates of relapses and metastases, with generally poor prognosis despite multiple lines of treatment. Immunotherapy has radically changed the approach of clinicians towards TNBC in the last two to three years, even if targeted and specific therapeutic options are still missing; this unmet need is further justified by the extreme molecular and clinical heterogeneity of this subtype of breast cancer and by the weak response to both single-agent and combined therapies. In March 2023

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

The Role of Gamma Delta T Lymphocytes in Physiological and Pathological Condition-Focus on Psoriasis, Atopic Dermatitis, Autoimmune Disorders, Cancer and Lymphomas.

Gamma delta (γδ) T cells are a heterogeneous population of cells that play roles in inflammation, host tissue repair, clearance of viral and bacterial pathogens, regulation of immune processes, and tumor surveillance. Recent research suggests that these are the main skin cells that produce interleukin-17 (I-17). Furthermore, γδ T cells exhibit memory-cell-like characteristics that mediate repeated episodes of psoriatic inflammation. γδ T cells are found in epithelial tissues, where many cancers develop. There, they participate in antitumor immunity as cytotoxic cells or as immune coordinators.

Nanoparticle-Based RNAi Therapeutics Targeting Cancer Stem Cells: Update and Prospective.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are characterized by intrinsic self-renewal and tumorigenic properties, and play important roles in tumor initiation, progression, and resistance to diverse forms of anticancer therapy. Accordingly, targeting signaling pathways that are critical for CSC maintenance and biofunctions, including the Wnt, Notch, Hippo, and Hedgehog signaling cascades, remains a promising therapeutic strategy in multiple cancer types. Furthermore, advances in various cancer omics approaches have largely increased our knowledge of the molecular basis of CSCs, and provided numerous novel targ

The MAPK/ERK signaling pathway involved in Raddeanin A induces apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway and G2 phase arrest in multiple myeloma.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy characterized by the unrestricted proliferation of plasma cells that secrete immunoglobulin in the bone marrow. Extracted primarily from Anemone raddeana regel, Raddeanin A (RA) is a natural triterpenoid saponin compound with anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities. However, most research on the anti-tumor effects of RA has concentrated on solid tumors, with little exploration into non-solid tumors like MM. Furthermore, there is a dearth of research investigating the interplay between RA and MM, encompassing their interaction targets and

Extracellular Vesicles in Multiple Myeloma-Cracking the Code to a Better Understanding of the Disease.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell-derived malignancy that stands for around 1.5% of newly discovered cancer cases. Despite constantly improving treatment methods, the disease is incurable with over 13,000 deaths in the US and over 30,000 in Europe. Recent studies suggest that extracellular vesicles (EVs) might play a significant role in the pathogenesis and evolution of MM. Further investigation of their role could prove to be beneficial in establishing new therapies and hence, improve the prognosis of MM patients. What is more, EVs might serve as novel markers in diagnosing and monitorin

Insights into the role of RNA m6A modification in the metabolic process and related diseases.

According to the latest consensus, many traditional diseases are considered metabolic diseases, such as cancer, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Currently, metabolic diseases are increasingly prevalent because of the ever-improving living standards and have become the leading threat to human health. Multiple therapy methods have been applied to treat these diseases, which improves the quality of life of many patients, but the overall effect is still unsatisfactory. Therefore, intensive research on the metabolic process and the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases is imperati

The Complosome: An Emerging Intracellular Complement Network in Cancer Development and Therapy.

The complement system is traditionally recognized as a major effector of innate immunity, essential for pathogen clearance, inflammation and the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. In recent years, however, its role in cancer has been substantially redefined. Beyond its canonical extracellular activity, complement has emerged as a multifaceted regulator of tumor biology, acting not only within the tumor microenvironment but also intracellularly through the recently described intracellular complement system (complosome). While extracellular complement primarily shapes immune responses and the tu

Cancer Immune Therapy for Philadelphia Chromosome-Negative Chronic Myeloproliferative Neoplasms.

Philadelphia chromosome-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are neoplastic diseases of the hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. MPN are characterized by chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation. Of interest, the potent immunostimulatory cytokine interferon-α has been used to treat MPN for decades. A deeper understanding of the anti-cancer immune response and of the different immune regulatory mechanisms in patients with MPN has paved the way for an increased perception of the potential of cancer immunotherapy in MPN. Therapeutic vaccination targeting the driver mut

Fate of hematopoietic stem cells determined by Notch1 signaling (Review).

Regulation of the fate of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), including silencing, self-renewal or differentiation into blood line cells, is crucial to maintain the homeostasis of the human blood system and prevent leukemia. Notch1, a key receptor in the Notch signaling pathway, plays an important regulatory role in these properties of HSCs, particularly in the maintenance of the stemness of HSCs. In recent decades, the ubiquitination modification of Notch1 has been gradually revealed, and also demonstrated to affect the proliferation and differentiation of HSCs. Therefore, a detailed elucidation

Role of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitors in Endometrial Cancer.

Endometrial Cancer (EC) is an important cause of death in women worldwide. Despite early diagnosis and optimal treatment of localized disease, relapsed patients have few therapeutic options because after first line therapy, currently no standard of care exists. On the basis of endocrine positivity of most endometrioid ECs, Endocrine Therapy (ET) is a reasonable and widely accepted option. Better knowledge of molecular mechanisms involved in cancer highlighted the deregulated activity of Cyclin-Dependent Kinases (CDKs) in the cell cycle as a hallmark of carcinogenesis supporting the development
