Multimodal imaging of bone metastases: From preclinical to clinical applications.

Metastases to the skeletal system are commonly observed in cancer patients, highly affecting the patients' quality of life. Imaging plays a major role in detection, follow-up, and molecular characterisation of metastatic disease. Thus, imaging techniques have been optimised and combined in a multimodal and multiparametric manner for assessment of complementary aspects in osseous metastases. This review summarises both application of the most relevant imaging techniques for bone metastasis in preclinical models and the clinical setting.

Translational horizons in the tumor microenvironment: harnessing breakthroughs and targeting cures.

Chemotherapy and targeted therapy have opened new avenues in clinical oncology. However, there is a lack of response in a substantial percentage of cancer patients and diseases frequently relapse in those who even initially respond. Resistance is, at present, the major barrier to conquering cancer, the most lethal age-related pathology. Identification of mechanisms underlying resistance and development of effective strategies to circumvent treatment pitfalls thereby improving clinical outcomes remain overarching tasks for scientists and clinicians. Growing bodies of data indicate that stromal

Molecular profiling of cancer patients enables personalized combination therapy: the I-PREDICT study.

Cancer treatments have evolved from indiscriminate cytotoxic agents to selective genome- and immune-targeted drugs that have transformed the outcomes of some malignancies1. Tumor complexity and heterogeneity suggest that the 'precision medicine' paradigm of cancer therapy requires treatment to be personalized to the individual patient2-6. To date, precision oncology trials have been based on molecular matching with predetermined monotherapies7-14. Several of these trials have been hindered by very low matching rates, often in the 5-10% range15, and low response rates. Low matching rates may be

Transcription and Translation Inhibitors in Cancer Treatment.

Transcription and translation are fundamental cellular processes that govern the protein production of cells. These processes are generally up regulated in cancer cells, to maintain the enhanced metabolism and proliferative state of these cells. As such cancerous cells can be susceptible to transcription and translation inhibitors. There are numerous druggable proteins involved in transcription and translation which make lucrative targets for cancer drug development. In addition to proteins, recent years have shown that the "undruggable" transcription factors and RNA molecules can also be targ

Sclerostin Alters Tumor Cell Characteristics of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma and May Be a Key Player in Local Bone Invasion.

Localized jawbone invasion is a milestone in the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The factors that promote this process are not well understood. Sclerostin is known to be involved in bone metabolism and there are preliminary reports of its involvement in bone tumors and bone metastasis. To identify a possible involvement of sclerostin in the bone invasion process of OSCC, sclerostin expression was analyzed in vitro in two different human OSCC tumor cell lines by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and the effect of recombinant human (rh)-sclerostin tr

Role of PARP Inhibitors in Cancer Immunotherapy: Potential Friends to Immune Activating Molecules and Foes to Immune Checkpoints.

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) induce cytotoxic effects as single agents in tumors characterized by defective repair of DNA double-strand breaks deriving from BRCA1/2 mutations or other abnormalities in genes associated with homologous recombination. Preclinical studies have shown that PARPi-induced DNA damage may affect the tumor immune microenvironment and immune-mediated anti-tumor response through several mechanisms. In particular, increased DNA damage has been shown to induce the activation of type I interferon pathway and up-regulation of PD-L1 expression in cance

FOXM1 contributes to treatment failure in acute myeloid leukemia.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with NPM1 mutations demonstrate a superior response to standard chemotherapy treatment. Our previous work has shown that these favorable outcomes are linked to the cytoplasmic relocalization and inactivation of FOXM1 driven by mutated NPM1. Here, we went on to confirm the important role of FOXM1 in increased chemoresistance in AML. A multiinstitution retrospective study was conducted to link FOXM1 expression to clinical outcomes in AML. We establish nuclear FOXM1 as an independent clinical predictor of chemotherapeutic resistance in intermediate-risk AML i

The role of heat shock protein 90 in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: state of the art.

Heat shock protein 90 (HSP 90) and its isoforms are a group of homodimeric proteins that regulate several cellular processes, such as the elimination of misfolded proteins, cell development and post-translational modifications of kinase proteins and receptors. Due to its involvement in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling, myofibroblast differentiation and apoptosis, HSP 90 has been investigated as a key player in the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common and deadly interstitial lung disease, due to the progressive distortion of lung parenchyma

Targeting mutant p53 in cancer: from mechanistic insights to therapeutic strategies.

The tumor suppressor p53, often referred to as the “guardian of the genome,” is mutated in more than half of human cancers. These mutations have a significant impact on cancer biology and response to therapy. p53 mutations involve a range of changes that interfere with DNA binding, eliminate tumor suppressor functions, and, in many cases, confer dominant-negative or gain-of-function characteristics that actively promote oncogenesis. These mutations are closely linked to poor clinical outcomes and resistance to standard treatments. This review examines the impact of p53 mutations on cancer ther

CRISPR-Cas9 Therapeutics in Early Clinical Development: Delivery and Molecular Diagnostics.

CRISPR-Cas9 has progressed from an experimental tool to a therapeutic modality, marked by the first regulatory approvals of an ex vivo-edited autologous CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell product that induces fetal hemoglobin (CASGEVY/exa-cel). In this narrative review, we synthesize modality-specific molecular diagnostic strategies used across early CRISPR clinical translation. In parallel, early clinical experience has begun to demonstrate the feasibility of in vivo editing, including subretinal delivery for CEP290-associated inherited retinal degeneration (EDIT-101 programme) and hepatocyte-targ

Modulation by Ozone Therapy of Oxidative Stress in Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy: The Background for a Randomized Clinical Trial.

(1) Background: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) decreases the quality of life of patients and can lead to a dose reduction and/or the interruption of chemotherapy treatment, limiting its effectiveness. Potential pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of CIPN include chronic oxidative stress and subsequent increase in free radicals and proinflammatory cytokines. Approaches for the treatment of CIPN are highly limited in their number and efficacy, although several antioxidant-based therapies have been tried. On the other hand, ozone therapy can induce an ada

Histone modifications across cancers: mechanisms, therapy and clinical translation.

Cancer continues to be a major cause of death across the globe, and epigenetic dysregulation, including histone modifications, has been recognized as a major hallmark of cancer development, heterogeneity, and drug resistance. This review seeks to offer an overview of histone modifications in cancer, including the more studied histone modifications such as acetylation and methylation, as well as the less explored histone modifications such as phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and glycosylation. It also examines the role of histone modifications in the dysregulation of the three categories of enz

Circular RNAs in cancer.

Circular RNA (circRNA), a subtype of noncoding RNA, has emerged as a significant focus in RNA research due to its distinctive covalently closed loop structure. CircRNAs play pivotal roles in diverse physiological and pathological processes, functioning through mechanisms such as miRNAs or proteins sponging, regulation of splicing and gene expression, and serving as translation templates, particularly in the context of various cancers. The hallmarks of cancer comprise functional capabilities acquired during carcinogenesis and tumor progression, providing a conceptual framework that elucidates t

Molecularly Targeted Therapies in Oncology: Mechanisms, Resistance, and Combination Strategies.

Targeted therapies are reshaping oncology by enabling treatment selection based on actionable molecular alterations, improving precision, and reducing unnecessary toxicity. This review provides an up-to-date overview of current targeted treatment modalities and the medicinal chemistry principles that support their discovery and optimization. We synthesize evidence on small-molecule and biologic strategies spanning receptor and non-receptor kinases and their major signaling axes (PI3K-AKT-mTOR and RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK), apoptosis regulation (BCL-2 family), DNA repair via poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase

How I treat unique and difficult-to-manage cases of CAR T-cell therapy-associated neurotoxicity.

With growing indications for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, toxicity profiles are evolving. There is an urgent and unmet need of approaches to optimally manage emerging adverse events that extend beyond the standard paradigm of cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). Although management guidelines exist for ICANS, there is little guidance on how to approach patients with neurologic comorbidities, and how to manage rare neurotoxicity presentations, such as CAR T-cell therapy-related cerebral edema, severe motor complications

Nuclear receptors in health and disease: signaling pathways, biological functions and pharmaceutical interventions.

Nuclear receptors (NRs) are a large family of ligand-dependent transcription factors that regulate the expression of a wide range of target genes in response to endogenous and exogenous ligands, including steroid hormones, thyroid hormone, vitamin D, retinoic acid, fatty acids, and oxidative steroids. Upon ligand binding, nuclear receptors form dimer complexes with transcriptional cofactors, which interact with specific DNA sequences in the promoter or enhancer regions of target genes to modulate gene expression. This process plays a crucial role in many physiological processes such as reprodu

Ранняя реакция на рост Gene 1 Выгоды Аутоиммунная болезнь путем поощрения дифференциации ячеек в качестве регулятора Foxp3.

Foxp3+ Регулирующие T (Treg) клетки, как один из подтипов CD4+T клеток, являются важнейшим сторожем в патогенезе самоантигенных реактивных заболеваний. В этом контексте мы продемонстрировали, что выборочная абляция гена раннего реагирования роста 1 (Egr-1) в CD4+T клеток усугубила экспериментальный аутоиммунный энцефаломиелит (EAE) в мюриновых моделях. Отсутствие Egr-1 в клетках CD4+T, полученное из мышей EAE и наивных клеток CD4+T, препятствовало дифференциации и влиянию Treg. Важно то, что в CD4+T клеток нескольких склерозных пациентов как Egr-1, так и Foxp3 было обнаружено снижение. Дальней

Талидомид как спасательный протокол для лечения множественной миеломы у собак: предварительные данные из многоцентрального ретроспективного исследования.

Множественная миелома (ММ) в собаках, как правило, обрабатывается сочетанием алкилирующих агентов и кортикостероидов. Однако отказ от лечения или нетерпимость, зачастую из-за кумулятивной токсичности, могут ограничить долгосрочную эффективность этих протоколов. Талидомид, иммуномодулятивный и антиангиогенный препарат, широко используемый в организме человека, по-прежнему в значительной степени не изучен в ветеринарной онкологии. В этом исследовании ретроспективно оценивалась клиническая эффективность и безопасность талидомида как спасательная терапия у собак с MM, которые отвергали стандартное
