Transcription and Translation Inhibitors in Cancer Treatment.

Transcription and translation are fundamental cellular processes that govern the protein production of cells. These processes are generally up regulated in cancer cells, to maintain the enhanced metabolism and proliferative state of these cells. As such cancerous cells can be susceptible to transcription and translation inhibitors. There are numerous druggable proteins involved in transcription and translation which make lucrative targets for cancer drug development. In addition to proteins, recent years have shown that the "undruggable" transcription factors and RNA molecules can also be targ

Anti-PEG Antibodies and Their Biological Impact on PEGylated Drugs: Challenges and Strategies for Optimization.

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been widely utilized in optimizing therapeutics due to its excellent biocompatibility and chemical stability. However, multiple dosing of PEGylated drugs may result in toxicity due to PEG accumulation in tissues, leading to the formation of anti-PEG antibodies (APAs), which can accelerate drug clearance, reduce efficacy, and alongside enhanced side effects, such as allergic reactions. Notably, pre-existing APAs have also been detected in individuals with no prior exposure to PEGylated drugs, raising additional clinical concerns. This review summarizes the mechanis

Alu-dependent RNA editing of GLI1 promotes malignant regeneration in multiple myeloma.

Despite novel therapies, relapse of multiple myeloma (MM) is virtually inevitable. Amplification of chromosome 1q, which harbors the inflammation-responsive RNA editase adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR)1 gene, occurs in 30-50% of MM patients and portends a poor prognosis. Since adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing has recently emerged as a driver of cancer progression, genomic amplification combined with inflammatory cytokine activation of ADAR1 could stimulate MM progression and therapeutic resistance. Here, we report that high ADAR1 RNA expression correlates with reduced patient survival

Among various strategies targeting solid tumors, the T-cell receptor (TCR)-engineered T-cell (TCR-T cell) therapy has emerged as a highly promising approach, exhibiting an expanded therapeutic window across diverse patient populations and superior tumoricidal activity in certain solid malignancies compared with chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) and tumor-infiltrating T cells/lymphocyte (TIL) therapies. However, its clinical efficacy remains constrained. In this paper, we introduce

Diagnosis and treatment of cardiac amyloidosis: position statement of the German Cardiac Society (DGK).

Systemic forms of amyloidosis affecting the heart are mostly light-chain (AL) and transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidoses. The latter is caused by deposition of misfolded transthyretin, either in wild-type (ATTRwt) or mutant (ATTRv) conformation. For diagnostics, specific serum biomarkers and modern non-invasive imaging techniques, such as cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and scintigraphic methods, are available today. These imaging techniques do not only complement conventional echocardiography, but also allow for accurate assessment of the extent of cardiac involvement, in addition t

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

Cytokine receptor IL27RA is an NF-κB-responsive gene involved in CD38 upregulation in multiple myeloma.

Multiple myeloma (MM) shows constitutive activation of canonical and noncanonical nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling via genetic mutations or tumor microenvironment (TME) stimulations. A subset of MM cell lines showed dependency for cell growth and survival on the canonical NF-κB transcription factor RELA alone, suggesting a critical role for a RELA-mediated biological program in MM pathogenesis. Here, we determined the RELA-dependent transcriptional program in MM cell lines and found the expression of the cell surface molecules interleukin-27 receptor-α (IL-27Rα) and the adhesion molecule JA
