Repurposing of nervous system drugs for cancer treatment: recent advances, challenges, and future perspectives.

The nervous system plays a critical role in developmental biology and oncology, influencing processes from ontogeny to the complex dynamics of cancer progression. Interactions between the nervous system and cancer significantly affect oncogenesis, tumor growth, invasion, metastasis, treatment resistance, inflammation that promotes tumors, and the immune response. A comprehensive understanding of the signal transduction pathways involved in cancer biology is essential for devising effective anti-cancer strategies and overcoming resistance to existing therapies. Recent advances in cancer neurosc

CD13 downregulation mediated by ubenimex inhibits autophagy to overcome 5-FU resistance by disturbing the EMP3/FAK/NF-κB pathway in gastric cancer cells.

BackgroundGastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumours in China, but the efficacy of chemotherapy on GC is significantly reduced due to the occurrence of drug resistance. Some studies have shown that the expression level of CD13 is associated with tumour resistance, but whether ubenimex, as a CD13 inhibitor, reverses GC drug resistance and the underlying mechanism remain unclear.MethodsHerein, resistance to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was reversed in GC by ubenimex, and the underlying mechanism was determined using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assays, gene chip analysis, high conte

Ginsenoside-Mediated Ferroptosis Regulation: Bidirectional Effects and Therapeutic Potential in Diseases.

Notably, certain ginsenoside components exhibit distinct bidirectional and context-dependent regulatory effects on ferroptosis depending on the disease setting. In aberrantly proliferating or activated cells, ginsenosides function as ferroptosis inducers, whereas in damaged quiescent cells of normal tissues, they act as ferroptosis inhibitors. The pro-ferroptotic effect is predominantly observed in cells characterized by abnormal proliferation or activation, such as cancer cells and activated hepatic stellate cells in liver fibrosis. In this context, ginsenosides modulate key iron metabolism p

Exosomal circRNA as a novel potential therapeutic target for multiple myeloma-related myocardial damage.

INTRODUCTION: Myocardial damage is a mostly incurable complication of multiple myeloma (MM) that seriously affects the treatment outcome and quality of life of patients. Exosomal circular RNAs (exo-circRNAs) play an important role in tumor occurrence and development and are considered key factors in MM pathogenesis. However, the role and mechanism of action of exo-circRNAs in MM-related myocardial damage are still unclear. This study aimed to investigate correlations between exo-circRNAs and MM and to preliminarily explore the role of exo-circRNAs in MM-related myocardial damage. METHODS: Six

Targeting Autophagy Using Long Non-Coding RNAs (LncRNAs): New Landscapes in the Arena of Cancer Therapeutics.

Cancer has become a global health hazard accounting for 10 million deaths in the year 2020. Although different treatment approaches have increased patient overall survival, treatment for advanced stages still suffers from poor clinical outcomes. The ever-increasing prevalence of cancer has led to a reanalysis of cellular and molecular events in the hope to identify and develop a cure for this multigenic disease. Autophagy, an evolutionary conserved catabolic process, eliminates protein aggregates and damaged organelles to maintain cellular homeostasis. Accumulating evidence has implicated the

Polymorphisms within Autophagy-Related Genes as Susceptibility Biomarkers for Multiple Myeloma: A Meta-Analysis of Three Large Cohorts and Functional Characterization.

Multiple myeloma (MM) arises following malignant proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow, that secrete high amounts of specific monoclonal immunoglobulins or light chains, resulting in the massive production of unfolded or misfolded proteins. Autophagy can have a dual role in tumorigenesis, by eliminating these abnormal proteins to avoid cancer development, but also ensuring MM cell survival and promoting resistance to treatments. To date no studies have determined the impact of genetic variation in autophagy-related genes on MM risk. We performed meta-analysis of germline genetic dat

Management of Severe Acute Pancreatitis.

Sepsis‑induced abnormalities in brain function or sepsis‑associated encephalopathy (SAE) can manifest as cognitive dysfunction and other neuropsychiatric symptoms; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the possible effects and mechanism of capsaicin, a transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) agonist, on the pathological features of SAE. A model of SAE in C57BL/6 mice was generated using cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Capsaicin (1 mg/kg) was injected subcutaneously before surgery. Cognitive function in mice was evaluated us

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

Shengma Biejia Decoction Inhibits Cell Growth in Multiple Myeloma by Inducing Autophagy-Mediated Apoptosis Through the ERK/mTOR Pathway.

Shengma Biejia decoction (SMBJD), a traditional Chinese formula recorded in the Golden Chamber, has been widely used for the treatment of malignant tumors. However, its underlying molecular targets and mechanisms are still unclear. This study showed that SMBJD inhibited tumor growth and stimulated hemogram recovery significantly in a multiple myeloma xenograft model. Western blot and immunohistochemistry assays of tumor tissues showed that SMBJD reduced the ratio of autophagy-related proteins LC3-II/LC3-I, while P62 and apoptosis-related proteins cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3 and Bax/Bcl-2 were

Prognostic Value of PSMB5 and Correlations with LC3II and Reactive Oxygen Species Levels in the Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells of Bortezomib-Resistant Multiple Myeloma Patients.

Proteasome inhibitors (PIs) constitute the most common type of induction treatment for multiple myeloma. Interactions between the proteasome, autophagy, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been shown in the past, thus emphasizing the need for a better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology. For this study, bone marrow mononuclear cells from 110 myeloma patients were collected at different disease stages. PSMB5 and LC3I/II protein levels were determined using Western blot, proteasome proteolytic activity (PPA) with spectrofluorometry, and ROS with flow cytometry. PSMB5 accumulation

Role of Osteocytes in Myeloma Bone Disease: Anti-sclerostin Antibody as New Therapeutic Strategy.

Osteocytes are terminally differentiated cells of the osteoblast lineage. They are involved in the regulation of bone remodeling by increasing osteoclast formation or decreasing bone formation by the secretion of the osteoblast inhibitor sclerostin. Monoclonal antibody anti-sclerostin, Romosozumab, has been developed and tested in clinical trials in patients with osteoporosis. In the last years, the role of osteocytes in the development of osteolytic bone lesions that occurs in multiple myeloma, have been underlined.

Role of Autophagy and AMPK in Cancer Stem Cells: Therapeutic Opportunities and Obstacles in Cancer.

Cancer stem cells represent a resilient subset within the tumor microenvironment capable of differentiation, regeneration, and resistance to chemotherapeutic agents, often using dormancy as a shield. Their unique properties, including drug resistance and metastatic potential, pose challenges for effective targeting. These cells exploit certain metabolic processes for their maintenance and survival. One of these processes is autophagy, which generally helps in energy homeostasis but when hijacked by CSCs can help maintain their stemness. Thus, it is often referred as an Achilles heel in CSCs, a
