The Application Progress of Patient-Derived Tumor Xenograft Models After Cholangiocarcinoma Surgeries.

Surgical treatment is the only possible cure for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) at present. However, the high recurrence rate of postoperative CCA leads to a very poor prognosis for patients, effective postoperative chemotherapy is hence the key to preventing the recurrence of CCA. The sensitivity of CCA to cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs and targeted drugs varies from person to person, and therefore, the screening of sensitive drugs has become an important topic after CCA surgeries. Patient-Derived tumor Xenograft models (PDX) can stably retain the genetic and pathological characteristics of primary t

AVN944 Elicits Apoptotic Responses and Impedes Tumorigenic Potential in Ewing's Sarcoma Cells.

Inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase 2 (IMPDH2) is implicated in survival and proliferation of cancer cells because of its role in guanine nucleotide biosynthesis. This study evaluates the efficacy of AVN944, an IMPDH2 inhibitor, as a treatment for Ewing's sarcoma, a challenging malignancy in pediatric and young adult patients. Gene expression data, as well as clinical outcomes for sarcoma patients, from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were analyzed to determine the association between IMPDH2 expression and survival. Human Ewing's sarcoma cell lines and xenograft models were used to evaluate the

Decoding iron deficiency in cancer: mechanisms, immune modulation, and therapeutic potential.

Iron is a vital micronutrient in many biological functions, including DNA metabolism, oxygen transport, and cellular energy generation. In this context, it is intimately linked to cancer biology. However, although many studies have comprehensively investigated and reviewed the effects of excess iron on tumor initiation and progression, the potential interrelations of iron deficiency with tumors have been largely neglected and need to be better defined. Recent studies have highlighted the complex relationship between iron deficiency and tumor biology. Iron deficiency in specific tumor types can

Gambogic Acid as a Candidate for Cancer Therapy: A Review.

Gambogic acid (GA), a kind of dry resin secreted by the Garcinia hanburyi tree, is a natural active ingredient with various biological activities, such as anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-bacterial effects, etc. An increasing amount of evidence indicates that GA has obvious anti-cancer effects via various molecular mechanisms, including the induction of apoptosis, autophagy, cell cycle arrest and the inhibition of invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis. In order to improve the efficacy in cancer treatment, nanometer drug delivery systems have been employed to load GA and form mice

Chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma: efficacy and mode of action.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a dreaded malignancy that every year causes half a million deaths worldwide. Being an aggressive cancer, its incidence exceeds 700,000 new cases per year worldwide with a median survival of 6-8 months. Despite advances in prognosis and early detection, effective HCC chemoprevention or treatment strategies are still lacking, therefore its dismal survival rate remains largely unchanged. This review will characterize currently available chemotherapeutic drugs used in the treatment of HCC. The respective mode(s) of action, side effects and recommendations will be

Clinical outcomes of chemotherapy in cancer patients with different ethnicities.

BackgroundChoosing the most effective chemotherapeutic agent with safest side effect profile is a common challenge in cancer treatment. Although there are standardized chemotherapy protocols in place, protocol changes made after extensive clinical trials demonstrate significant improvement in the efficacy and tolerability of certain drugs. The pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and tolerance of anti-cancer medications are all highly individualized. A driving force behind these differences lies within a person's genetic makeup.Recent findingsPharmacogenomics, the study of how an individual's g

The Emerging Role of Oncolytic Virotherapy in Glioblastoma Management.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive and common form of central nervous system primary malignant tumor in adults. GBM accounts for about half of all gliomas. Despite maximal resection, radiotherapy, and temozolomide, median survival is still 12-15 months because of tumor heterogeneity, diffuse infiltration, and therapeutic resistance. Recurrence is nearly universal, underscoring the need for novel therapies. Oncolytic virotherapy demonstrates a promising strategy that combines direct tumor cell lysis with immune activation. Tumor-selective viruses replicate within malignant cells, induce cell d

New approaches for cancer treatment: antitumor drugs based on gene-targeted nucleic acids.

Currently, the main way to fight cancer is still chemotherapy. This method of treatment is at the height of its capacity, so, setting aside the need for further improvements in traditional treatments for neoplasia, it is vital to develop now approaches toward treating malignant tumors. This paper reviews innovational experimental approaches to treating malignant malformations based on the use of gene-targeted drugs, such as antisense oligonucleotides (asON), small interfering RNA (siRNA), ribozymes, and DNAzymes, which can all inhibit oncogene expression. The target genes for these drugs are t

Hypomethylating Chemotherapeutic Agents as Therapy for Myelodysplastic Syndromes and Prevention of Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDSs) affect the elderly and can progress to Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Epigenetic alterations including DNA methylation and chromatin modification may contribute to the initiation and progression of these malignancies. DNA hypomethylating agents such as decitabine and azacitidine are used as therapeutic treatments and have shown to promote expression of genes involved in tumor suppression, apoptosis, and immune response. Another anti-cancer drug, the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib, is used as a chemotherapeutic treatment for multiple myeloma (MM). Phase III clin

Interplay of non-coding RNAs and approved antimetabolites such as gemcitabine and pemetrexed in mesothelioma.

Gemcitabine and pemetrexed are clinically approved antimetabolites for the therapy of mesothelioma diseases. These drugs are often applied in combination with platinum complexes and other drugs. The activity of antimetabolites depended on the expression levels of certain non-coding RNAs, in particular, of small microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). The development of tumor resistance towards antimetabolites was regulated by non-coding RNAs. An overview of the interplay between gemcitabine/pemetrexed antimetabolites and non-coding RNAs in mesothelioma is provided. Further to th

Pro-inflammatory Cytokines, Ferroptosis, and Cancer.

Ferroptosis, iron-dependent regulated cell death, is induced by the polyunsaturated fatty acid peroxidation of membrane phospholipids and is controlled by glutathione peroxidase 4. In recent years, convincing evidence has emerged, demonstrating a close relationship between chemo-, radio-, immuno-, and targeted therapy resistance and ferroptosis resistance. In this review, we discuss the basic principles of ferroptosis in cancer. Considerable attention is paid to the formation of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. The main focus is centered on the involvement of the excessive, chronic

Next-Generation HDAC Inhibitors: Advancing Zinc-Binding Group Design for Enhanced Cancer Therapy.

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are pivotal epigenetic regulators that control gene expression, cell proliferation, and differentiation, and their dysregulation is closely associated with the onset and progression of multiple cancers. The therapeutic importance of these enzymes is reflected by FDA approval of HDAC inhibitors for oncology indications. Despite this clinical success, most FDA-approved agents employ conventional zinc-binding groups (ZBGs) such as hydroxamic acid and 2-aminoanilide, which are frequently linked to metabolic instability, genotoxicity, and poor pharmacokinetic behavior.

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

Short and Long Non-Coding RNAs in Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) represents the most frequent kidney malignancy and remains a major clinical challenge due to its often silent onset, high metastatic potential, and limited responsiveness to conventional chemotherapy. Increasing evidence indicates that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), are key regulators of RCC tumorigenesis, progression, and therapy resistance. Rather than providing a purely descriptive overview, this review focuses on emerging mechanistic paradigms through which ncRNAs actively shap

Smoldering multiple myeloma: prevalence and current evidence guiding treatment decisions.

Smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) is an asymptomatic plasma cell proliferative disorder associated with risk of progression to symptomatic multiple myeloma (MM) or amyloidosis. In comparison to monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), SMM has a much higher risk of progression to MM. Thanks to advances in our understanding of the risk factors, the subset of patients with ultra-high risk of progression to MM (80%-90% at 2 years) has been identified. The revision of the diagnostic criteria resulted in changes in the management of this cohort of patients. In contrast to the manag
