Clinical epigenetics settings for cancer and cardiovascular diseases: real-life applications of network medicine at the bedside.

Despite impressive efforts invested in epigenetic research in the last 50 years, clinical applications are still lacking. Only a few university hospital centers currently use epigenetic biomarkers at the bedside. Moreover, the overall concept of precision medicine is not widely recognized in routine medical practice and the reductionist approach remains predominant in treating patients affected by major diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. By its' very nature, epigenetics is integrative of genetic networks. The study of epigenetic biomarkers has led to the identification of num

An integrative review of nonobvious puzzles of cellular and molecular cardiooncology.

Oncologic patients are subjected to four major treatment types: surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. All nonsurgical forms of cancer management are known to potentially violate the structural and functional integrity of the cardiovascular system. The prevalence and severity of cardiotoxicity and vascular abnormalities led to the emergence of a clinical subdiscipline, called cardiooncology. This relatively new, but rapidly expanding area of knowledge, primarily focuses on clinical observations linking the adverse effects of cancer therapy with deteriorated quality of life of

Ferroptosis, lipid metabolism, and genetic regulation in postoperative rehabilitation of elderly hip fractures: from molecular mechanisms to clinical translation.

BACKGROUND: Elderly hip fracture represents a major global public health challenge, with postoperative rehabilitation involving complex molecular mechanisms and metabolic networks. Beyond osteoporotic fractures, pathological hip fractures caused by tumor bone metastasis constitute a non-negligible proportion in elderly patients, with molecular pathological mechanisms significantly different from osteoporotic fractures. Recent research has confirmed that ferroptosis (iron-dependent regulated cell death) and lipid metabolism dysregulation are key links in fracture healing and functional recovery

Network Pharmacology Approaches Used to Identify Therapeutic Molecules for Chronic Venous Disease Based on Potential miRNA Biomarkers.

Chronic venous disease (CVD) is a prevalent condition in adults, significantly affecting the global elderly population, with a higher incidence in women than in men. The modulation of gene expression through microRNA (miRNA) partly regulated the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Previous research identified a functional analysis of seven genes (CDS2, HDAC5, PPP6R2, PRRC2B, TBC1D22A, WNK1, and PABPC3) as targets of miRNAs related to CVD. In this context, miRNAs emerge as essential candidates for CVD diagnosis, representing novel molecular and biological knowledge. This work aims to i

The Effects of Artificial Sweeteners on Intestinal Nutrient-Sensing Receptors: Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde?

The consumption of artificial and low-calorie sweeteners (ASs, LCSs) is an important component of the Western diet. ASs play a role in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome, dysbiosis, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), and various inflammatory conditions. Intestinal nutrient-sensing receptors act as a crosstalk between dietary components, the gut microbiota, and the regulation of immune, endocrinological, and neurological responses. This narrative review aimed to summarize the possible effects of ASs and LCSs on intestinal nutrient-sensing receptors and their related functions. Based on the

Prevention of Anthracycline-Induced Cardiotoxicity: The Good and Bad of Current and Alternative Therapies.

Doxorubicin (Dox)-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) remains a serious health burden, especially in developing countries. Unfortunately, the high cost of current preventative strategies has marginalized numerous cancer patients because of socio-economic factors. In addition, the efficacy of these strategies, without reducing the chemotherapeutic properties of Dox, is frequently questioned. These limitations have widened the gap and necessity for alternative medicines, like flavonoids, to be investigated. However, new therapeutics may also present their own shortcomings, ruling out the idea of "natur

From Bench to Bedside and Beyond: Therapeutic Scenario in Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous group of clonal disorders characterized by abnormal proliferation of undifferentiated myeloid progenitors, impaired hematopoiesis, and variable response to therapy. To date, only about 30% of adult patients with AML become long-term survivors and relapse and/or disease refractoriness are the major cause of treatment failure. Thus, this is an urgent unmet clinical need and new drugs are envisaged in order to ameliorate disease survival outcomes. Here, we review the latest therapeutic approaches (investigational and approved agents) for AML treatme

Targeting Metabolic Reprogramming in Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

The cancer metabolic reprogramming allows the maintenance of tumor proliferation, expansion and survival by altering key bioenergetics, biosynthetic and redox functions to meet the higher demands of tumor cells. In addition, several metabolites are also needed to perform signaling functions that further promote tumor growth and progression. These metabolic alterations have been exploited in different cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia, as novel therapeutic strategies both in preclinical models and clinical trials. Here, we review the complexity of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) metabolism

Mechanisms and effects of metformin on skeletal muscle disorders.

Skeletal muscle disorders are mostly genetic and include several rare diseases. With disease progression, muscle fibrosis and adiposis occur, resulting in limited mobility. The long course of these diseases combined with limited treatment options affect patients both psychologically and economically, hence the development of novel treatments for neuromuscular diseases is crucial to obtain a better quality of life. As a widely used hypoglycemic drug in clinical practice, metformin not only has anti-inflammatory, autophagy-regulating, and mitochondrial biogenesis-regulating effects, but it has a

Dietary Supplements in Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy: A New Hope?

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of the main and most prevalent side effects of chemotherapy, significantly affecting the quality of life of patients and the course of chemotherapeutic treatment. Nevertheless, despite its prevalence, the management of the CIPN is considered particularly challenging, with this condition often being perceived as very difficult or even impossible to prevent with currently available agents. Therefore, it is imperative to find better options for patients diagnosed with this condition. While the search for the new agents must continue, anothe

Activated Ras as a Therapeutic Target: Constraints on Directly Targeting Ras Isoforms and Wild-Type versus Mutated Proteins.

The ability to selectively and directly target activated Ras would provide immense utility for treatment of the numerous cancers that are driven by oncogenic Ras mutations. Patients with disorders driven by overactivated wild-type Ras proteins, such as type 1 neurofibromatosis, might also benefit from progress made in that context. Activated Ras is an extremely challenging direct drug target due to the inherent difficulties in disrupting the protein:protein interactions that underlie its activation and function. Major investments have been made to target Ras through indirect routes. Inhibition

The Hypoxia-Retinoid Axis in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: Multifaceted Etiology and Therapeutic Potential.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and lethal lung disease with limited therapeutic options. This review focuses on the role of retinoids, particularly all-trans retinoic acid (atRA), and hypoxia in the pathogenesis of IPF. Despite an established understanding of genetic and environmental factors in IPF, the interplay between retinoid signaling and the response to hypoxia remains poorly explored due to its complexity. Preclinical evidence suggests that atRA could help reduce pulmonary fibrosis by modulating TGF-β signaling pathways and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EM

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Phenocopies: Classification, Key Features, and Differential Diagnosis.

Among cardiomyopathies, the hypertrophic phenotype is the most common, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) phenocopies represent a heterogeneous group of conditions. They are defined by a left ventricular wall thickness ≥15 mm in the absence of other causes such as loading conditions, ischemia, or valvular disease. Although they mimic similar clinical and morphological features, their etiologies are distinct and include genetic, metabolic, and infiltrative mechanisms. Therefore, accurate classification and differential diagnosis are crucial for effective management and treatment. Sarcomeric

The interplay of mitochondrial dysfunction and altered metabolic pathways in glioblastoma.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive and lethal primary brain tumor, characterized by rapid progression, treatment resistance, and poor prognosis, with a survival rate of less than five years despite advances in medical interventions. A hallmark of GBM is metabolic reprogramming, which supports tumor growth and progression. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a critical role in this metabolic shift by altering energy production and disrupting key cellular pathways. However, the precise molecular mecha-nisms underlying these alterations remain inadequately understood. This review highlights th
