Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases as drug targets.

Cyclic nucleotides are synthesized by adenylyl and/or guanylyl cyclase, and downstream of this synthesis, the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase families (PDEs) specifically hydrolyze cyclic nucleotides. PDEs control cyclic adenosine-3',5'monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine-3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) intracellular levels by mediating their quick return to the basal steady state levels. This often takes place in subcellular nanodomains. Thus, PDEs govern short-term protein phosphorylation, long-term protein expression, and even epigenetic mechanisms by modulating cyclic nucleotide levels

Inhibition of cytochrome P450 epoxygenase promotes endothelium-to-mesenchymal transition and exacerbates doxorubicin-induced cardiovascular toxicity.

BackgroundDoxorubicin (DOX) is a potent chemotherapy widely used in treating various neoplastic diseases. However, the clinical use of DOX is limited due to its potential toxic effect on the cardiovascular system. Thus, identifying the pathway involved in this toxicity may help minimize chemotherapy risk and improve cancer patients' quality of life. Recent studies suggest that Endothelial-to-Mesenchymal transition (EndMT) and endothelial toxicity contribute to the pathogenesis of DOX-induced cardiovascular toxicity. However, the molecular mechanism is yet unknown. Given that arachidonic acid a

Hematological Malignancy-Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles and Tumor Microenvironment: The Art of Turning Foes into Friends.

Small extracellular vesicles (small EVs) are commonly released by all cells, and are found in all body fluids. They are implicated in cell to cell short- and long-distance communication through the transfer of genetic material and proteins, as well as interactions between target cell membrane receptors and ligands anchored on small EV membrane. Beyond their canonical functions in healthy tissues, small EVs are strategically used by tumors to communicate with the cellular microenvironment and to establish a proper niche which would ultimately allow cancer cell proliferation, escape from the imm

Targeting Cancer Stem Cell Markers or Pathways: A Potential Therapeutic Strategy for Oral Cancer Treatment.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small subset of cancer cells with stem cell-like properties, self-renewal potential, and differentiation capacity into multiple cell types. Critical genetic alterations or aberrantly activated signaling pathways associated with drug resistance and recurrence have been observed in multiple types of CSCs. In this context, CSCs are considered to be responsible for tumor initiation, growth, progression, therapeutic resistance, and metastasis. Therefore, to effectively eradicate CSCs, tremendous efforts have been devoted to identify specific target molecules that play

Using an integrated omics approach to uncover the mechanisms underlying chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN).

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a debilitating side effect with limited treatment options. The primary challenge in developing therapies is the lack of identified neurotoxic mechanisms. To address this, an integrated omics approach, combining transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, is essential to map the biological changes underlying the condition. Here, we show how data from these complementary approaches converge on key mechanisms involved in CIPN through a critical summary of animal and human studies. Current research highlights several key drivers of CIPN, such

Can Hemp Help? Low-THC Cannabis and Non-THC Cannabinoids for the Treatment of Cancer.
