Dynamic Evolution of the Tumor Immune Microenvironment in Malignant Tumors and Emerging Therapeutic Paradigms.

Cancer is more than just a collection of tumor cells. The complex tumor system, including the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), is continually changing. Tumor cells are in constant communication with all stromal elements (e.g., fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and extracellular matrix) and immune effector cells (e.g., T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells). Together, these intricate interactions among cell and molecular signaling pathways collectively drive tumor growth, tumor invasion, and metastasis and significantly aff

RNA метилтрансферазы METTL8 устанавливает m3C32 в митохондриальном tRNASThr/Ser (UCN) для оптимизации структуры trNA и митохондриального перевода.

Модифицированные нуклеотиды в tRNA являются важными определяющими факторами сворачивания, структуры и функции. Здесь мы идентифицируем METTL8 как митохондриальный белок и активный РНК метилтрансферазы, ответственный за установку m3C32 в митохондриале человека (mt-)tRNAThr и mt-tRNAser (UCN). METTL8 имеет перекрестные связи с антикодоновой стволовой петлей (ASL) многих мт-тРНК в клетках, в связи с чем возникает вопрос о том, каким образом достигается целевая специфичность метилирования. Расчленение элементов распознавания mt-tRNA выявило наличие U34G35 и t6A37/(ms2)i6A37, которые одновременно п

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

Эффективность и безопасность иммуноадсорбции как спасательной терапии подстрекательских миопатий: доклад three - обзор дел и литературы.

Идиопатическая воспалительная миопатия (МИМ) резюмирует редкие, системные аутоиммунные условия, характеризующиеся главным образом провокационным повреждением скелетной мышцы. Несмотря на то, что мышечные мышцы повреждены в первую очередь, эти заболевания, связанные с IIM, связаны с другими органами, включая кожу, легкие, верхний желудочно-кишечный тракт, суставы и сердце. Несмотря на то, что многие пациенты адекватно реагируют на иммунодепрессивное лечение, некоторые пациенты развивают быстро прогрессивные и устойчивые к лечению жизнестойкие курсы. Для лечащего врача ИИМ является сложным делом

Структура агрессивного сексуального поведения: сетевое аналитическое исследование

Обобщающее сексуальное поведение - это явление, характеризующееся постоянной неспособностью контролировать интенсивные, повторяющиеся сексуальные порывы или желания, что приводит к повторяющемуся сексуальному поведению, вызывающему серьезные страдания или расстройства в личной, семейной, социальной, образовательной или профессиональной сферах деятельности. Несмотря на его существенное воздействие на психическое здоровье и качество жизни, мало что известно о его внутренней структуре и о том, различается ли это явление между полами, возрастными группами и статусом риска. С помощью сетевого анали

Solamargine induces autophagy-mediated apoptosis and enhances bortezomib activity in multiple myeloma.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable plasma cell malignancy with a poor survival rate. Conventional chemotherapeutic agent-induced adverse events, including toxicity, neuropathy or drug resistance, significantly decrease the patients' quality of life and can even lead to interruption of treatment. Therefore, novel therapeutic drugs and strategies are urgently needed to improve MM therapy and patient outcomes. Here, we show that solamargine (SM), a steroidal alkaloid glycoside isolated from a Chinese herb Solanum nigrum L., exhibits promising anti-MM activity. In particular, SM suppressed the

The research progress on radionuclides in osteoporosis diagnosis and drug efficacy monitoring.

Osteoporosis is a common metabolic bone disease that seriously affects the quality of life and health of patients. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), have limitations in early detection and dynamic monitoring, making it difficult to meet clinical needs. This paper focuses on the potential of radionuclide imaging techniques, such as Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), in the early diagnosis of osteoporosis. The paper further elaborates on the importance of radionuclides in evaluating the therapeu

Docosahexaenoic Acid Modulates a HER2-Associated Lipogenic Phenotype, Induces Apoptosis, and Increases Trastuzumab Action in HER2-Overexpressing Breast Carcinoma Cells.

In breast cancer, lipid metabolic alterations have been recognized as potential oncogenic stimuli that may promote malignancy. To investigate whether the oncogenic nature of lipogenesis closely depends on the overexpression of HER2 protooncogene, the normal breast cell line, HB4a, was transfected with HER2 cDNA to obtain HER2-overexpressing HB4aC5.2 cells. Both cell lines were treated with trastuzumab and docosahexaenoic acid. HER2 overexpression was accompanied by an increase in the expression of lipogenic genes involved in uptake (CD36), transport (FABP4), and storage (DGAT) of exogenous fat

Should oncologists trust cannabinoids?

Cannabis enjoyed a "golden age" as a medicinal product in the late 19th, early 20th century, but the increased risk of overdose and abuse led to its criminalization. However, the 21st century have witnessed a resurgence of interest and a large body of literature regarding the benefits of cannabinoids have emerged. As legalization and decriminalization have spread around the world, cancer patients are increasingly interested in the potential utility of cannabinoids. Although eager to discuss cannabis use with their oncologist, patients often find them to be reluctant, mainly because clinicians

Cancer Therapy and Exercise Intolerance: The Heart Is But a Part: JACC: CardioOncology State-of-the-Art Review.

The landscape of cancer therapeutics is continually evolving, with successes in improved survivorship and reduced disease progression for many patients with cancer. Improved cancer outcomes expose competing comorbidities, some of which may be exacerbated by cancer therapies. The leading cause of disability and death for many early-stage cancers is cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is often attributed to direct or indirect cardiac injury from cancer therapy. In this review, the authors propose that toxicities related to conventional and novel cancer therapeutics should be considered beyond th

Amyloidosis in Childhood: A Review of Clinical Features and Comparison with Adult Forms.

Amyloidosis is a rare multisystem disorder characterized by extracellular accumulation of insoluble fibrils in various organs and tissues. The most common subtype in the pediatric population is systemic reactive amyloidosis, typically developing secondary to chronic inflammatory conditions and resulting in deposition of serum amyloid A protein in association with apolipoprotein HDL3. Clinical presentation is highly variable and is mostly influenced by specific organs involved, precursor protein type, and extent of amyloid deposition, often closely reflecting clinical features of the underlying

Natural bioactive molecules and chemotherapeutics synergism for enhanced cancer therapy.

BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy remains a foundation of cancer care but is limited by multidrug resistance, systemic toxicities, and suboptimal selectivity, prompting interest in adjunctive strategies that improve efficacy and tolerability without adding significant burden to patients or healthcare systems. AIMS/OBJECTIVES: This review highlights evidence on natural bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenoids, and fungal metabolites, as adjuvants to standard chemotherapeutics, with objectives to: first, delineate mechanisms by which these agents enhance cytotoxic efficacy and o

Targeting homologous recombination and telomerase in Barrett's adenocarcinoma: impact on telomere maintenance, genomic instability and tumor growth.

Homologous recombination (HR), a mechanism to accurately repair DNA in normal cells, is deregulated in cancer. Elevated/deregulated HR is implicated in genomic instability and telomere maintenance, which are critical lifelines of cancer cells. We have previously shown that HR activity is elevated and significantly contributes to genomic instability in Barrett's esophageal adenocarcinoma (BAC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate therapeutic potential of HR inhibition, alone and in combination with telomerase inhibition, in BAC. We demonstrate that telomerase inhibition in BAC cells incre

DNA-demethylating and anti-tumor activity of synthetic miR-29b mimics in multiple myeloma.

Aberrant DNA methylation plays a relevant role in multiple myeloma (MM) pathogenesis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that recently emerged as master regulator of gene expression by targeting protein-coding mRNAs. However, miRNAs involvement in the regulation of the epigenetic machinery and their potential use as therapeutics in MM remain to be investigated. Here, we provide evidence that the expression of de novo DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) is deregulated in MM cells. Moreover, we show that miR-29b targets DNMT3A and DNMT3B mRNAs and reduces global DNA methylation i

Chinese expert consensus recommendations for the administration of immune checkpoint inhibitors to special cancer patient populations.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting programmed cell death 1, programmed cell death ligand 1, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 have shown significantly durable clinical benefits and tolerable toxicities and have improved the survival of patients with various types of cancer. Since 2018, the National Medical Products Administration of China has approved 17 ICIs as the standard treatment for certain advanced or metastatic solid tumors. As ICIs represent a broad-spectrum antitumor strategy, the populations eligible for cancer immunotherapy are rapidly expanding. However, t

The role of exosomes in lung cancer metastasis and clinical applications: an updated review.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-associated deaths accounting for 24% of all cancer deaths. As a crucial phase of tumor progression, lung cancer metastasis is linked to over 70% of these mortalities. In recent years, exosomes have received increasing research attention in their role in the induction of carcinogenesis and metastasis in the lung. In this review, recent studies on the contribution of exosomes to lung cancer metastasis are discussed, particularly highlighting the role of lung tumor-derived exosomes in immune system evasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and angiogen

Advances in CAR-T-cell therapy in T-cell malignancies.

Significant advances have been made in chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T)-cell therapy for the treatment of recurrent or refractory B-cell hematologic malignancies. However, CAR-T-cell therapy has not yet achieved comparable success in the management of aggressive T-cell malignancies. This article reviews the challenges of CAR-T-cell therapy in treating T-cell malignancies and summarizes the progress of preclinical and clinical studies in this area. We present an analysis of clinical trials of CAR-T-cell therapies for the treatment of T-cell malignancies grouped by target antigen classificati

Beyond Pain Relief: A Review on Cannabidiol Potential in Medical Therapies.

The phytocannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) is receiving increasing attention due to its pharmacological properties. Although CBD is extracted from Cannabis sativa, it lacks the psychoactive effects of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and has become an attractive compound for pharmacological uses due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticonvulsant, and anxiolytic potential. The molecular mechanisms involved in CBD's biological effects are not limited to its interaction with classical cannabinoid receptors, exerting anti-inflammatory or pain-relief effects. Several pieces of evidence demonstrate

Cancer evolution: mathematical models and computational inference.

Cancer is a somatic evolutionary process characterized by the accumulation of mutations, which contribute to tumor growth, clinical progression, immune escape, and drug resistance development. Evolutionary theory can be used to analyze the dynamics of tumor cell populations and to make inference about the evolutionary history of a tumor from molecular data. We review recent approaches to modeling the evolution of cancer, including population dynamics models of tumor initiation and progression, phylogenetic methods to model the evolutionary relationship between tumor subclones, and probabilisti

Identification of Potentially Pathogenic Variants Associated with Recurrence in Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) Patients Using Whole-Exome Sequencing.

Background: Bisphosphonates are antiresorptive and antiangiogenic drugs that prevent and treat bone loss and mineralization in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis and cancer patients. Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is commonly caused by tooth extraction and dental trauma. Although genetic and pathological studies about MRONJ have been conducted, the pathogenesis of MRONJ still remains unclear. Methods: We aimed to identify genetic variants associated with MRONJ, using whole-exome sequencing (WES). Ten MRONJ patients prescribed bisphosphonates were recruited for WES, and
