MTAP-Null Tumors: A Comprehensive Review on Synthetic Vulnerabilities and Therapeutic Strategies.

Homozygous deletion of the 9p21.3 genomic locus spanning the CDKN2A/B and MTAP genes is an event affecting 15% of cancers. While CDKN2A is a well-established tumor suppressor gene, the role of MTAP in tumorigenesis varies across cancer types. MTAP codes for methylthioadenosine phosphorylase, a key enzyme in the methionine salvage pathway, and its loss has been associated with several downstream synthetic vulnerabilities. Despite multiple efforts to exploit MTAP loss for targeted therapies, none of these efforts have yielded substantial results in clinical trials. In this review, we consolidate

Hairy cell leukemia with isolated bone lesions.

Key clinical message18F-FDG PET/CT has clinical relevance in HCL at diagnosis and for the follow-up of patients treated, especially in case of atypical presentations such as bone involvements (which are probably underestimated) and poor bone marrow infiltration.AbstractBone lesions are rarely reported in Hairy Cell Leukemia (HCL). We report two BRAFV600E mutated HCL patients presented bone lesions at foreground, poor bone marrow involvement, and the important role 18F-FDG PET/CT played in their management. We discuss the crucial role that 18F-FDG PET/CT could play in HCL routine practice.

Late mortality and causes of death among long-term survivors after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

By evaluating risks of late mortality and causes of death among long-term survivors after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in Japan, we clarified what we should focus on during follow-up to reduce them. The study cohort included 6,780 patients who had survived for ≥2 years after the first autologous HSCT performed from 1974 to 2012 for hematological diseases. With a median follow-up of 6.0 years among survivors, overall survival probabilities at 5 and 10 years after HSCT were 92% and 83%, respectively. Eight hundred thirty deaths occurred: 451, recurrent primary diseas

Metabolic Reprogramming of Cancer Cells and Therapeutics Targeting Cancer Metabolism.

BackgroundCancer metabolism is a field focused on the unique alterations in metabolic pathways that occur in cancer cells, distinguishing them from the metabolic processes in normal cells.MethodsAn extensive review of the current literature on the metabolic adaptation of cancer cells was carried out in the current study.ResultsThe rapidly proliferating cells require high levels of molecules, such as glucose, amino acids, lipids, and nucleotides, along with increased energy demand (ATP).

Neurotropin alleviates rat osteocarcinoma pain via P2X3 receptor activation in the midbrain periaqueductal gray.

ObjectivesClinically effective analgesia treatment for patients afflicted with osteocarcinoma lessens the intensity of pain. The midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG) plays a critical role in pain modulation, and activation of P2X3 receptors in this region mediates pain processing. Neurotropin is a small molecule drug used for analgesic treatment of a number of chronic pain conditions. The present study aims at determining whether P2X3 receptor activation in PAG is responsible for the analgesic effect of neurotropin in rats with osteocarcinoma pain.Materials and methodsThe tibia of female Sprague

Proliferative suppression by CDK4/6 inhibition: complex function of the retinoblastoma pathway in liver tissue and hepatoma cells.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hepatocellular carcinoma is the third leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide; current chemotherapeutic interventions for this disease are largely ineffective. The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor (RB) is functionally inactivated at relatively high frequency in hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatoma cell lines. Here, we analyzed the ability of CDK4/6 inhibition to inhibit hepatocyte proliferation and the effect of RB status on this process. METHODS: Hepatoma cell lines and xenograft models harboring RB knockdown and mice harboring liver-specific Rb deletion were used to d

Pharmacokinetics of bosentan in routinely treated Japanese pediatric patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.

We evaluated the pharmacokinetics of routinely administered bosentan in 46 Japanese pediatric patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Plasma samples were taken twice at times corresponding to the peak and trough concentrations following repetitive oral administration. The population pharmacokinetic parameters of bosentan were estimated by use of the NONMEM program, in which a one-compartment model with repetitive bolus dosing was parameterized in terms of the oral clearance (CL/F) and elimination rate constant (k). Polymorphisms of CYP3A5, SLCO1B1, SLCO1B3, and SLCO2B1 had no significan

Cyclic guanosine monophosphate compartmentation in rat cardiac myocytes.

BACKGROUND: Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is the common second messenger for the cardiovascular effects of nitric oxide (NO) and natriuretic peptides, such as atrial or brain natriuretic peptide, which activate the soluble and particulate forms of guanylyl cyclase, respectively. However, natriuretic peptides and NO donors exert different effects on cardiac and vascular smooth muscle function. We therefore tested whether these differences are due to an intracellular compartmentation of cGMP and evaluated the role of phosphodiesterase (PDE) subtypes in this process. METHODS AND RESULTS:

Reprogramming of nitrogen metabolism in tumors: mechanisms and therapeutic implications.

Nitrogen metabolism plays a key role in maintaining normal physiological functions of the organism and cell proliferation and differentiation. Nitrogen metabolism in normal human body maintains a dynamic balance to meet the body's demand for synthesis of biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. However, in the process of tumor development, the nitrogen metabolism of tumor cells is reprogrammed to meet the demand of rapid proliferation, showing significantly different metabolic characteristics from normal cells. Key enzymes in the tumor microenvironment affect nitrogen meta

Advanced Technologies for Large Scale Supply of Marine Drugs.

Marine organisms represent a source of unique chemical entities with valuable biomedical potentialities, broad diversity, and complexity. It is essential to ensure a reliable and sustainable supply of marine natural products (MNPs) for their translation into commercial drugs and other valuable products. From a structural point of view and with few exceptions, MNPs of pharmaceutical importance derive from the so-called secondary metabolism of marine organisms. When production strategies rely on marine macroorganisms, harvesting or culturing coupled with extraction procedures frequently remain t

Down-regulation of survivin in nitric oxide-induced cell growth inhibition and apoptosis of the human lung carcinoma cells.

Survivin is expressed in most tumor cells and has been associated with both anti-apoptosis and mitotic progression. However, the mechanism of regulation of the survivin expression remains unclear. In this study we investigated the expression and regulation of survivin in the nitric oxide (NO)-exposed human lung carcinoma cells. The lung carcinoma cell lines CL3, H1299, and A549 but not normal lung fibroblast expressed high levels of survivin proteins. NO donors S-nitroso-N-acetyl-penicillamine (SNAP) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) decreased the survivin expression. SNAP (0.4 mm, 24h)and SNP (1
