P2X7 Рецептор рентгеновских заболеваний: общие молекулярные механизмы и терапевтические последствия.

Редкие заболевания (РЛ) в индивидуальном порядке редко встречаются, но в совокупности они затрагивают большое число людей во всем мире, и подавляющее большинство из них по-прежнему не имеют эффективных методов лечения, позволяющих вести борьбу с заболеваниями. Благодаря достижениям в области геномики и платформ для обмена данными исследования все чаще переходят от одного заболевания к поиску конвергентных молекулярных путей, которые можно было бы использовать в различных клинически отличных друг от друга структурах. В этом контексте purinergic P2X7 рецептор (P2X7R) превратился в предполагаемую

New players in the landscape of renal cell carcinoma bone metastasis and therapeutic opportunities.

Approximately one-third of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients develop osteolytic bone metastases, leading to skeletal complications. In this review, we first provide a comprehensive perspective of seminal studies on bone metastasis of RCC describing the main molecular modulators and growth factor signaling pathways most important for the RCC-stimulated osteoclast-mediated bone destruction. We next focus on newer developments revealing with in-depth details, the bidirectional interplay between renal cancer cells and the immune and stromal microenvironment that can through epigenetic r

Bone Marrow Adipocytes, Adipocytokines, and Breast Cancer Cells: Novel Implications in Bone Metastasis of Breast Cancer.

Accumulating discoveries highlight the importance of interaction between marrow stromal cells and cancer cells for bone metastasis. Bone is the most common metastatic site of breast cancer and bone marrow adipocytes (BMAs) are the most abundant component of the bone marrow microenvironment. BMAs are unique in their origin and location, and recently they are found to serve as an endocrine organ that secretes adipokines, cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors. It is reasonable to speculate that BMAs contribute to the modification of bone metastatic microenvironment and affecting metastatic br

Extracellular vesicles in multiple myeloma-bone marrow niche crosstalk: from cellular dialogue to clinical perspectives.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a haematological neoplasia defined by the clonal expansion of malignant plasma cells within the intricate and dynamic ecosystem of the bone marrow (BM). Although genetic aberrations intrinsic to tumour cells play a critical role in MM initiation, the advancement and aggressiveness of the disease are heavily influenced by ongoing signalling exchanges and persistent interactions with the surrounding microenvironment. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are increasingly recognized as essential messengers in this reciprocal communication, acting as membrane-encapsulated vehicles

Pathophysiology and treatment of osteoporosis: challenges for clinical practice in older people.

As the prevalence of osteoporosis increases with age, a paralleled elevation in the rate of incident fragility fractures will be observed. This narrative review explores the origins of bone and considers physiological mechanisms involved in bone homeostasis relevant to management and treatment. Secondary causes of osteoporosis, as well as osteosarcopenia are discussed followed by an overview of the commonly used pharmacological treatments for osteoporosis in older people.

Targeting translation initiation in breast cancer.

Over the past 20 years, a better understanding of cancer biology, screening for early detection, improved adjuvant treatment, and targeted therapies have decreased the rate of breast cancer deaths. However, resistance to treatment is common, and new approaches are needed. Deregulation of translation initiation is associated with the commencement and progression of cancer. Often, translation initiation factors are overexpressed and the related signaling pathways activated in human tumors. Recently, a significant number of inhibitors that target translation factors and pathways have become avail

Changes in bone turnover markers in patients without bone metastases receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors: An exploratory analysis.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has revolutionized the treatment of different advanced solid tumors, but most patients develop severe immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Although a bi-directional crosstalk between bone and immune systems is widely described, the effect of ICIs on the skeleton is poorly investigated. Here, we analyze the changes in plasma levels of type I collagen C-terminal telopeptide (CTX-I) and N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PINP), reference makers of bone turnover, in patients treated with ICIs and their association with clinical outcome. A series of 4

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

High Risk-Human Papillomavirus in HNSCC: Present and Future Challenges for Epigenetic Therapies.

Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is a highly heterogeneous group of tumors characterized by an incidence of 650,000 new cases and 350,000 deaths per year worldwide and a male to female ratio of 3:1. The main risk factors are alcohol and tobacco consumption and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infections. HNSCC cases are divided into two subgroups, the HPV-negative (HPV-) and the HPV-positive (HPV+) which have different clinicopathological and molecular profiles. However, patients are still treated with the same therapeutic regimens. It is thus of utmost importance to characterize the mo

Targeting of multiple myeloma-related angiogenesis by miR-199a-5p mimics: in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor activity.

Multiple myeloma (MM) cells induce relevant angiogenic effects within the human bone marrow milieu (huBMM) by the aberrant expression of angiogenic factors. Hypoxia triggers angiogenic events within the huBMM and the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is over-expressed by MM cells. Since synthetic miR-199a-5p mimics negatively regulates HIF-1α, we here investigated a miRNA-based therapeutic strategy against hypoxic MM cells. We indeed found that enforced expression of miR-199a-5p led to down-modulated expression of HIF-1α as well as of other pro-angiogenic factors such a

The Power of Extracellular Vesicles in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms: "Crafting" a Microenvironment That Matters.

Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN) are acquired clonal disorders of the hematopoietic stem cells and include Essential Thrombocythemia, Polycythemia Vera and Myelofibrosis. MPN are characterized by mutations in three driver genes (JAK2, CALR and MPL) and by a state of chronic inflammation. Notably, MPN patients experience increased risk of thrombosis, disease progression, second neoplasia and evolution to acute leukemia. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a heterogeneous population of microparticles with a role in cell-cell communication. The EV-mediated cross-talk occurs via the trafficking of

Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Altered Inflammatory Pathway in an Inducible Glial Cell Model of Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1.

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most frequent inherited muscular dystrophy in adults, is caused by the CTG repeat expansion in the 3'UTR of the DMPK gene. Mutant DMPK RNA accumulates in nuclear foci altering diverse cellular functions including alternative splicing regulation. DM1 is a multisystemic condition, with debilitating central nervous system alterations. Although a defective neuroglia communication has been described as a contributor of the brain pathology in DM1, the specific cellular and molecular events potentially affected in glia cells have not been totally recognized. Thus,

BackgroundHead and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) ranks sixth in incidence and seventh in mortality among cancers in China, affecting 750,000 individuals worldwide and resulting in over 300,000 deaths each year. The intratumoral heterogeneity of HNSCC poses significant challenges for prognosis and therapeutic interventions. This study aimed to investigate clonal heterogeneity and functional regulatory factors in HNSCC and establish a robust prognostic signature.MethodsSingle-cell and bulk RNA sequencing datasets were integrated to identify clonal subpopulations and functional states in H

Influence of gut microbial metabolites on tumor immunotherapy: mechanisms and potential natural products.

In recent years, tumor immunotherapy has made significant breakthroughs in the treatment of malignant tumors. However, individual differences in efficacy have been observed in clinical practice. There is increasing evidence that gut microbial metabolites influence the efficacy of distal tumor immunotherapy via the gut-liver axis, the gut-brain axis and the gut-breast axis, a process that may involve modulating the expression of immune cells and cytokines in the tumor microenvironment (TME). In this review, we systematically explore the relationship between gut microbial metabolites and tumor i

Carfilzomib enhances cisplatin-induced apoptosis in SK-N-BE(2)-M17 human neuroblastoma cells.

Neuroblastoma is a solid malignant tumor of the sympathetic nervous system, which accounts for 8-10% of childhood cancers. Considering the overall high risk and poor prognosis associated with neuroblastoma, effective therapeutics should be developed to improve patient survival and quality of life. A recent study showed that a proteasome inhibitor, carfilzomib (CFZ), reduced cell viability of SK-N-BE(2)-M17 neuroblastoma cells. Therefore, we investigated the molecular mechanisms by which CFZ lower the cell viability of neuroblastoma cells. CFZ reduced cell viability via cell cycle arrest at G2/

Update on current pancreatic treatments: from molecular pathways to treatment.

Pancreatic cancer is still diagnosed at a late stage although we have novel diagnostic tools. Pancreatic cancer chemotherapy treatment resistance is observed and therefore novel treatments are in need. Anti-cancer stem cell therapy, combination of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy with immunotherapy, proteins/enzymes and gene therapy are currently under evaluation. Targeted treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors is also administered and novel inhibitors are also under evaluation. In the current review we present recent data from our search within the year 2018.
