Oxidative Stress in Multiple Myeloma: Pathogenic Mechanisms, Biomarkers, and Redox-Targeted Therapeutic Strategies.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable plasma cell malignancy characterized by high metabolic activity, chronic endoplasmic reticulum stress, and persistent redox imbalance. Excessive immunoglobulin synthesis and adaptation to the hypoxic bone marrow microenvironment lead to sustained production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Their excessive accumulation promotes genomic instability, disease progression, osteolytic bone disease, and resistance to therapy. Paradoxically, MM cells adapt to oxidative stress by activating antioxidant and metabolic defense mechanisms, including Nuclear factor ery

Acute Kidney Injury Associated with Anticancer Therapies: Small Molecules and Targeted Therapies.

Molecular targeted therapy has revolutionized cancer treatment by significantly improving patient survival compared with standard conventional chemotherapies. The use of these drugs targets specific molecules or targets, which block growth and spread of cancer cells. Many of these therapies have been approved for use with remarkable success in breast, blood, colorectal, lung, and ovarian cancers. The advantage over conventional chemotherapy is its ability to deliver drugs effectively with high specificity while being less toxic. Although known as "targeted," many of these agents lack specifici

Inflammasomes in Cancer Progression and Anti-Tumor Immunity.

The inflammasomes are critical regulators of innate immunity, inflammation and cell death and have emerged as important regulators of cancer development and control. Inflammasomes are assembled by pattern recognition receptors (PRR) following the sensing of microbial- or danger-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs/DAMPs) and elicit inflammation through the oligomerization and activation of inflammatory caspases. These cysteinyl-aspartate proteases cleave the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 into their biologically active mature form. The roles of the inflammasomes and associated pro-i

Нейроинфламмация в нейродегенеративных заболеваниях: сосредоточение внимания на посредничестве лимфоцитов T.

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor expression on human transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.

Receptors for granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSFRs) have been confirmed on the cell surfaces of several non-haematopoietic cell types, including bladder cancer cells. This observation has naturally led to the hypothesis that the expression of G-CSFR on these cells may enhance their growth by G-CSF. In this study, the expression of G-CSFR was determined in both established human bladder cancer cell lines and primary bladder cancers. We studied five different human bladder cancer cell lines (KU-1, KU-7, T-24, NBT-2 and KK) and 26 newly diagnosed bladder tumours. G-CSFR mRNA expressions

Nanoparticles for Effective Combination Therapy of Cancer.

Cancer continues to remains a major healthcare problem across the world despite strong translational research efforts towards tackling the disease. Surgery, when possible, along with radiation and chemotherapy continue to remain the mainstay of cancer treatment. Novel targeted therapies or biologics and immunotherapies have recently been approved to improve treatment efficacies while reducing collateral damage to normal, non-cancerous tissues. Combination therapies have shown better results than individual monotherapies in the clinic but often the improvements in therapeutic indices remain mar

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

Targeting MDM2, RAS, and PCNA for cancer targeted therapy: pan-cancer approaches vs. cancer-specific strategies.

Cancer therapy and cancer drug discovery and development have been historically focused on specific cancers (tissue/organ of origin). However, with advances in molecular biology and multi-omics of cancer, there is a trend to develop pan-cancer therapeutic modalities. In targeted therapy, pan-cancer strategies target common molecular alterations across different cancer types and specific cancer strategies are tailored to the unique biological characteristics of individual tumor types. Each approach offers distinct advantages and limitations, and understanding these differences is critical in th

Engagement of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in the Remodeling of the Bone Marrow Microenvironment in Hematological Cancers.

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a subset of heterogeneous, non-hematopoietic fibroblast-like cells which play important roles in tissue repair, inflammation, and immune modulation. MSCs residing in the bone marrow microenvironment (BMME) functionally interact with hematopoietic stem progenitor cells regulating hematopoiesis. However, MSCs have also emerged in recent years as key regulators of the tumor microenvironment. Indeed, they are now considered active players in the pathophysiology of hematologic malignancies rather than passive bystanders in the hematopoietic microenvironment. Onc

Cellular mechanisms of multiple myeloma bone disease.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy of differentiated plasma cells that accumulates and proliferates in the bone marrow. MM patients often develop bone disease that results in severe bone pain, osteolytic lesions, and pathologic fractures. These skeletal complications have not only a negative impact on quality of life but also a possible effect in overall survival. MM osteolytic bone lesions arise from the altered bone remodeling due to both increased osteoclast activation and decreased osteoblast differentiation. A dysregulated production of numerous cytokines that can contribut

Application Of Adoptive Immunotherapy In Ovarian Cancer.

Ovarian cancer (OC) has been the most fatal gynecological disease that threatens women's health. Surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy are the basic ovarian cancer treatments that can improve survival, but the five-year survival rate has not improved because of delayed diagnosis, drug resistance, and recurrence. Novel treatments are needed to improve the prognosis and survival rate of ovarian cancer patients. In recent years, adoptive cell therapy (ACT) has received increasing attention as an emerging therapeutic strategy in the treatment of solid tumors including OC. ACT has shown promising

Parvovirus B19-induced hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: Case report and review of the literature.

HLH is a catastrophic and likely underdiagnosed pathology with multiple triggers including infection. PVB19 can cause persistent marrow infection leading to HLH despite negative acute serologic markers making timely diagnosis difficult. Increased awareness of PVB19-HLH is warranted given its potentially lethal nature and the careful interpretation required with serologic markers.

Candidate Regulatory Relationship and Expression Correlation Between miR-33a-5p and ANK3 in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a type of bone marrow cancer characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of myeloid cells. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that play a crucial role in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. This study aims to examine the association between miR-33a-5p and Ankyrin 3 (ANK3) in CML and to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of miR-33a-5p in the progression of this disease. mRNA expression profiles were obtained from the GSE100026 dataset within the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) repository. Quantitative real-time polym

Bispecific antibodies as powerful immunotherapeutic agents for urological cancers: Recent innovations based on preclinical and clinical evidence.

Conventional immunotherapy has emerged as a key option for cancer treatment. However, its efficacy has been limited in urological cancers, especially prostate cancer, because of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), difficulty in drug delivery, aberrant immune response, and damage to normal cells. Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are engineered proteins with two different antigen-binding domains, designed using different technologies and in various formats. BsAb-based tumor immunotherapy has yielded optimistic results in preclinical and clinical investigations of many tumor types, i

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

Plasma microRNA profiles: identification of miR-25 as a novel diagnostic and monitoring biomarker in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

BackgroundRecent studies have demonstrated that microRNAs are stably detectable in plasma/serum because of their binding to specific proteins or being packaged in secretory particles. This study was designed to detect novel microRNAs in plasma for cancer detection and monitoring using microRNA array-based approaches in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients.MethodsThrough the integration of two Toray 3D-Gene microRNA array-based approaches to compare plasma microRNA levels between ESCC patients and healthy volunteers and between preoperative and postoperative ESCC patients, we ide

Tumor Whole-Genome Sequencing for Prediction of Venous Thromboembolism in Patients With Metastasized Solid Cancer.

BACKGROUND: International guidelines suggest prophylactic anticoagulation for patients with cancer at high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Here, we evaluated whether tumor whole-genome sequencing data may improve the selection of high-risk patients. METHODS: In a pan-cancer cohort of 3087 patients, associations of candidate clinical predictors, the germline extended 297-single nucleotide polymorphism polygenic risk score, tumor mutational characteristics, and somatic tumor mutations with VTE were estimated by calculating hazard ratios (HRs). RESULTS: During 12-month follow-up, 237 (7.7

Acoustically-Activated Liposomal Nanocarriers to Mitigate the Side Effects of Conventional Chemotherapy with a Focus on Emulsion-Liposomes.

To improve currently available cancer treatments, nanomaterials are employed as smart drug delivery vehicles that can be engineered to locally target cancer cells and respond to stimuli. Nanocarriers can entrap chemotherapeutic drugs and deliver them to the diseased site, reducing the side effects associated with the systemic administration of conventional anticancer drugs. Upon accumulation in the tumor cells, the nanocarriers need to be potentiated to release their therapeutic cargo. Stimulation can be through endogenous or exogenous modalities, such as temperature, electromagnetic irradiati

Exosomes for angiogenesis induction in ischemic disorders.

Ischaemic disorders are leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While the current therapeutic approaches have improved life expectancy and quality of life, they are unable to "cure" ischemic diseases and instate regeneration of damaged tissues. Exosomes are a class of extracellular vesicles with an average size of 100-150 nm, secreted by many cell types and considered a potent factor of cells for paracrine effects. Since exosomes contain multiple bioactive components such as growth factors, molecular intermediates of different intracellular pathways, microRNAs and nucleic acids, t
