Stage-specific treatment of colorectal cancer: A microRNA-nanocomposite approach.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the leading causes of cancer mortality. The lifetime risk of developing CRC is about 5% in adult males and females. CRC is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage, and at this point therapy has a limited impact on cure rates and long-term survival. Novel and/or improved CRC therapeutic options are needed. The involvement of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancer development has been reported, and their regulation in many oncogenic pathways suggests their potent tumor suppressor action. Although miRNAs provide a promising therapeutic approach for cancer, challenges such as

Lipocalin 2-not only a biomarker: a study of current literature and systematic findings of ongoing clinical trials.

Lipocalin 2 (Lcn2), also known as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, is an innate immune protein encoded by the LCN2 gene. In this study, we investigated various roles and functions of Lcn2 characterized in a systems-based format and evaluated its therapeutic potentials and clinical relevance for diagnosis and prognosis. An additional systematic presentation was presented for 70 ongoing clinical trials utilizing Lcn2 in the diagnostic and prognostic setting as a key outcome measure.

How histone modifications influence cellular radiosensitivity: Pharmaceutically targeting epigenetic regulators as a promising avenue to overcome radioresistance.

Cancer remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Radiotherapy (RT), a cornerstone of oncological treatment for over a century, has achieved great success in various cancers. However, radioresistance remains the primary factor leading to the failure of radiotherapy. Histone modifications in cancer cells are known to play a pivotal role in regulating radiosensitivity by modulating chromatin structure, either by loosening or tightening it. Here, we provide a comprehensive summary of the link between aberrant histone modifications and radiation resistance across various cancer and normal t

Repurposing anticancer drugs for the management of COVID-19.

Since its outbreak in the last December, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 has rapidly spread worldwide at a pandemic proportion and thus is regarded as a global public health emergency. The existing therapeutic options for COVID-19 beyond the intensive supportive care are limited, with an undefined or modest efficacy reported so far. Drug repurposing represents an enthusiastic mechanism to use approved drugs outside the scope of their original indication and accelerate the discovery of new therapeutic options.

Bortezomib-induced peripheral neuropathy: from molecular mechanisms to clinical management.

Bortezomib (BTZ) is a first-generation proteasome inhibitor that has shown significant efficacy in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), providing significant therapeutic benefits without severely compromising overall patient health. However, one of the most common and debilitating side effects associated with BTZ therapy is bortezomib-induced peripheral neuropathy (BIPN). This condition is the leading complication observed in patients undergoing BTZ treatment and has a profound impact on treatment regimens, often necessitating dose reductions or alterations in the dosing schedule. Despite t

Метаболомическое исследование синдромов миэлодипластика, множественной миеломы и гомозиговой β-Талассемии.

Хроническая анемия, как правило, диагностируется у пожилых людей и служит важным показателем как реактивных, так и клональных заболеваний. Многие основные заболевания, такие, как миэллодипластические синдромы и множественная миелома, более распространены среди пожилых людей, в то время как новые терапевтические подходы превратили педиатрические расстройства слабого прогноза, такие, как бета-талассемия, в хроническое заболевание пожилых людей. Таким образом, растущая распространенность хронической анемии в пожилом возрасте в значительной степени объясняется более частыми диагностическими и тера

Evolution of Molecular Targeted Cancer Therapy: Mechanisms of Drug Resistance and Novel Opportunities Identified by CRISPR-Cas9 Screening.

Molecular targeted therapy has revolutionized the landscape of cancer treatment due to better therapeutic responses and less systemic toxicity. However, therapeutic resistance is a major challenge in clinical settings that hinders continuous clinical benefits for cancer patients. In this regard, unraveling the mechanisms of drug resistance may identify new druggable genetic alterations for molecularly targeted therapies, thus contributing to improved therapeutic efficacies. The recent rapid development of novel methodologies including CRISPR-Cas9 screening technology and patient-derived models

Prostate cancer immunotherapy-based strategies: an updated review emphasizing immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the most common cancers that is diagnosed in about 10-15% of men in old age. It seems that the current treatments are not effective, and this leads to prostate cancer becoming the second-deadliest cancer. Treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), and surgery are among these treatments. However, the possibility of disease recurrence after these treatments is high. Therefore, other methods have become necessary, and PC treatment is changing. One of the methods that has received much attention today is immunotherapy. Immunoth

Unveiling the Role of HGF/c-Met Signaling in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Tumor Microenvironment.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is characterized by several molecular alterations that contribute to its development and progression. These alterations include the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-MET). Among these, the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/c-MET signaling pathway plays a crucial role in NSCLC. In spite of this, the involvement of the HGF/c-MET signaling axis in remodeling the tumor microenvironment (TME) remains relatively unexplored. This rev

К лечению множественных склерозов

Множественный склероз (MS) является воспалительным и демиелинизирующим заболеванием центральной нервной системы (CNS). У большинства пациентов болезнь начинается с острого наступления, за которым следует этап ремиссии, последующие рецидивы и позднее переход к устойчивой хронической прогрессии. В меньшинстве пациентов эта постепенная фаза развивается с самого начала. Для рецидивов MS характерно в основном деновое образование побочного повреждения CNS и инфильтрация иммунных клеток, в то время как патологические особенности MS прогрессирования включают медленно расширяющиеся повреждения, глобаль

Anaesthesia as an influence in tumour progression.

PURPOSE: Tumour growth and the formation of metastases are essential elements in the progression of cancer. The centre of treatment is the surgical resection of primary solid tumours. But even if the tumour can be removed without microscopic residual cells, local recurrences and distant metastases occur and determine the patient's fate. During the operation, tumour cells are shed from the primary tumour and released into the circulation. These circulating tumour cells might play an important role in the formation of new tumour sites. Therefore, a functional innate and adaptive immune system is

The Osteoclast in Bone Metastasis: Player and Target.

Bone metastases are frequently the final fate of breast and prostate cancer patients. According to the definition of metastasis as an incurable disease, to date there are no effective treatments for tumor-associated bone metastases and this represents a real challenge for the researchers in the field. The bone is a heterogeneous environment that represents a fertile soil for tumor cells, supporting their growth. Among the different cell types present in the bone, in this review we will focus our attention on the osteoclasts, which are crucial players in the so called “vicious cycle”, a phenome

Natural Killer Cells in Immunotherapy: Are We Nearly There?

Natural killer (NK) cells are potent anti-tumor and anti-microbial cells of our innate immune system. They are equipped with a vast array of receptors that recognize tumor cells and other pathogens. The innate immune activity of NK cells develops faster than the adaptive one performed by T cells, and studies suggest an important immunoregulatory role for each population against the other. The association, observed in acute myeloid leukemia patients receiving haploidentical killer-immunoglobulin-like-receptor-mismatched NK cells, with induction of complete remission was the determinant to begin

Novel and potential future therapeutic options in systemic autoimmune diseases.

Autoimmune inflammation is caused by the loss of tolerance to specific self-antigens and can result in organ-specific or systemic disorders. Systemic autoimmune diseases affect a significant portion of the population with an increasing rate of incidence, which means that is essential to have effective therapies to control these chronic disorders. Unfortunately, several patients with systemic autoimmune diseases do not respond at all or just partially respond to available conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs and targeted therapies. However, during the past few years, som
