Interleukin-32: a Pandora's box in human immunodeficiency virus infection.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), has been estimated to infect around 40.8 million people globally. This virus can persist and thrive in the presence of antiretroviral therapy, which is a major obstacle to HIV eradication. Therefore, understanding host immunological factors that underlie HIV persistence and pathogenesis can lead to the development of immunotherapeutic interventions. Interleukin-32 (IL-32) is an orphan cytokine with multiple isoforms and a complex signal transduction pathway that transmits through non-specific receptors.

Review on Bortezomib Resistance in Multiple Myeloma and Potential Role of Emerging Technologies.

Multiple myeloma is a hematological cancer type. For its treatment, Bortezomib has been widely used. However, drug resistance to this effective chemotherapeutic has been developed for various reasons. 2D cell cultures and animal models have failed to understand the MM disease and Bortezomib resistance. It is therefore essential to utilize new technologies to reveal a complete molecular profile of the disease. In this review, we in-depth examined the possible molecular mechanisms that cause Bortezomib resistance and specifically addressed MM and Bortezomib resistance. Moreover, we also included

Therapeutic Opportunities with Pharmacological Inhibition of CD38 with Isatuximab.

CD38 is a transmembrane glycoprotein with ectoenzymatic activity involved in regulation of migration, signal transduction, and receptor-mediated adhesion. CD38 is highly expressed on various malignant cells, including multiple myeloma (MM), and at relatively low levels in other tissues, making it a suitable target for therapeutic antibodies. Several anti-CD38 therapies have been, or are being, developed for the treatment of MM, including daratumumab and isatuximab (SAR650984), respectively. Studies have shown that anti-CD38 therapies are effective in the treatment of relapsed/refractory MM and

Viral warfare: unleashing engineered oncolytic viruses to outsmart cancer's defenses.

Oncolytic virotherapy (OVT) has emerged as a promising and innovative cancer treatment strategy that harnesses engineered viruses to selectively infect, replicate within, and destroys malignant cells while sparing healthy tissues. Beyond direct oncolysis, oncolytic viruses (OVs) exploit tumor-specific metabolic, antiviral, and immunological vulnerabilities to reshape the tumor microenvironment (TME) and initiate systemic antitumor immunity. Despite promising results from preclinical and clinical studies, several barriers, including inefficient intratumoral virus delivery, immune clearance, and

Zebrafish Avatars towards Personalized Medicine-A Comparative Review between Avatar Models.

Cancer frequency and prevalence have been increasing in the past decades, with devastating impacts on patients and their families. Despite the great advances in targeted approaches, there is still a lack of methods to predict individual patient responses, and therefore treatments are tailored according to average response rates. "Omics" approaches are used for patient stratification and choice of therapeutic options towards a more precise medicine. These methods, however, do not consider all genetic and non-genetic dynamic interactions that occur upon drug treatment. Therefore, the need to dir

RHOA at the intersection of inflammation-driven and sporadic colorectal cancer.

In the last decades, colorectal cancer (CRC) has emerged as a global problem, representing approximately 10% of all malignant tumors and the second leading cause of cancer-related death. Colitis-associated cancer (CAC) arises from chronic unresolved inflammation and is typically characterised by poor prognosis. Among key cellular regulators, the small GTPase RHOA controls cytoskeleton dynamics in various cell types and, thereby, key biological processes. Although it has been linked to various diseases, the role of RHOA in cancer remains controversial. RHOA has been proposed as a biomarker in c

The Role of DNA Repair in Genomic Instability of Multiple Myeloma.

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a B cell malignancy marked by genomic instability that arises both through pathogenesis and during disease progression. Despite recent advances in therapy, MM remains incurable. Recently, it has been reported that DNA repair can influence genomic changes and drug resistance in MM. The dysregulation of DNA repair function may provide an alternative explanation for genomic instability observed in MM cells and in cells derived from MM patients. This review provides an overview of DNA repair pathways with a special focus on their involvement in MM and discusses the role th

RNA N 6-Methyladenosine in Cancer Metastasis: Roles, Mechanisms, and Applications.

Cancer metastasis is a symptom of adverse prognosis, a prime origin of therapy failure, and a lethal challenge for cancer patients.

T-Type Calcium Channels: A Mixed Blessing.

The role of T-type calcium channels is well established in excitable cells, where they preside over action potential generation, automaticity, and firing. They also contribute to intracellular calcium signaling, cell cycle progression, and cell fate; and, in this sense, they emerge as key regulators also in non-excitable cells. In particular, their expression may be considered a prognostic factor in cancer. Almost all cancer cells express T-type calcium channels to the point that it has been considered a pharmacological target; but, as the drugs used to reduce their expression are not complete

Common gamma chain cytokines-driven optimization of chimeric antigen receptor T cells: Mechanistic insights and future directions.

Malignant tumors represent a major threat to human life and health, posing persistent challenges in medical research. While chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy has demonstrated breakthrough efficacy in hematological malignancies such as leukemia and lymphoma, its application in solid tumors, including hepatocellular carcinoma, lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer, remains constrained by multiple bottlenecks.

Methyl jasmonate: putative mechanisms of action on cancer cells cycle, metabolism, and apoptosis.

Methyl jasmonate (MJ), an oxylipid that induces defense-related mechanisms in plants, has been shown to be active against cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo, without affecting normal cells. Here we review most of the described MJ activities in an attempt to get an integrated view and better understanding of its multifaceted modes of action. MJ (1) arrests cell cycle, inhibiting cell growth and proliferation, (2) causes cell death through the intrinsic/extrinsic proapoptotic, p53-independent apoptotic, and nonapoptotic (necrosis) pathways, (3) detaches hexokinase from the voltage-dependent
