The Neuro-Bone Axis in Metastatic Progression: Innervation, Neuro-Immune-Osteoclast Crosstalk, and Therapeutic Opportunities.

Bone metastases represent a major cause of morbidity in advanced cancers, yet the neural regulation of metastatic growth within bone remains largely unexplored. The skeletal system is richly innervated by sensory and sympathetic nerve fibers that influence bone remodeling, hematopoiesis, and immune surveillance. Emerging evidence suggests that disseminated tumor cells exploit these neural circuits to create a growth-permissive microenvironment. Tumor-secreted neurotrophic factors can induce nerve sprouting, while sympathetic activation via β-adrenergic receptors promotes osteoclastogenesis, im

Neurobiology of Cancer: Introduction of New Drugs in the Treatment and Prevention of Cancer.

Research on the neurobiology of cancer, which lies at the border of neuroscience and oncology, has elucidated the mechanisms and pathways that enable the nervous system to modulate processes associated with cancer initiation and progression. This research has also shown that several drugs which modulate interactions between the nervous system and the tumor micro- and macroenvironments significantly reduced the progression of cancer in animal models. Encouraging results were also provided by prospective clinical trials investigating the effect of drugs that reduce adrenergic signaling on the co

Бета Адренергическая сигнализация как терапевтическая цель для автономного иммунитета.

Мы недавно определили молекулярный механизм с использованием бета-адренергических рецепторов 1 и 2 (β1/2) при разработке лимфоцитов TH17. Фармакологические и генетические ингибиции этих рецепторов в сочетании, но не отдельно, сказались на способности Т-лимфоцитов производить профламматический интерleукин 17А (IL-17A) и вместо этого способствовали производству защитных клеток Трега, которые скрывают инфлюкин-10 (IL-10). Вместе с тем остается неясным, может ли этот механизм регулирования использоваться в качестве нового терапевтического подхода к аутоиммунным расстройствам при посредничестве Т-л

The distinct role of medium spiny neurons and cholinergic interneurons in the D₂/A₂A receptor interaction in the striatum: implications for Parkinson's disease.

A(2A) adenosine receptor antagonists are currently under investigation as potential therapeutic agents for Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this therapeutic effect is still unclear. A functional antagonism exists between A(2A) adenosine and D(2) dopamine (DA) receptors that are coexpressed in striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs) of the indirect pathway. Since this interaction could also occur in other neuronal subtypes, we have analyzed the pharmacological modulation of this relationship in murine MSNs of the direct and indirect pathways as well in striata

Serotonergic systems associated with arousal and vigilance behaviors following administration of anxiogenic drugs.

Serotonergic systems play important roles in modulating behavioral arousal, including behavioral arousal and vigilance associated with anxiety states. To further our understanding of the neural systems associated with increases in anxiety states, we investigated the effects of multiple anxiogenic drugs on topographically organized subpopulations of serotonergic neurons using double immunohistochemical staining for c-Fos and tryptophan hydroxylase combined with topographical analysis of the rat dorsal raphe nucleus (DR). Anxiogenic drugs with diverse pharmacological properties including the ade

11q Deletion or ALK Activity Curbs DLG2 Expression to Maintain an Undifferentiated State in Neuroblastoma.

High-risk neuroblastomas typically display an undifferentiated or poorly differentiated morphology. It is therefore vital to understand molecular mechanisms that block the differentiation process. We identify an important role for oncogenic ALK-ERK1/2-SP1 signaling in the maintenance of undifferentiated neural crest-derived progenitors through the repression of DLG2, a candidate tumor suppressor gene in neuroblastoma. DLG2 is expressed in the murine "bridge signature" that represents the transcriptional transition state when neural crest cells or Schwann cell precursors differentiate to chroma

Novel structure having antagonist actions at both the glycine site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor and neuronal voltage-sensitive sodium channels: biochemical, electrophysiological, and behavioral characterization.

A novel series of N-substituted 4-ureido-5,7-dichloro-quinolines were synthesized to contain pharmacophores directed at voltage-sensitive sodium channels (VSNaCs) and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. These compounds were shown to act in a use-dependent manner as antagonists of VSNaCs and to act as selective competitive antagonists at the strychnine-insensitive glycine recognition site of NMDA receptors. These agents had little or no effect on alpha-adrenergic receptors, other glutamate receptors, or sites other than the glycine site on the NMDA receptor, and did not block voltage-sensiti

Cancer Neoaxonogenesis: Mechanisms and Factors Involved in the Recruitment of Peripheral Nerves by Cancer Tissue.

Peripheral nerves provide a direct connection between the brain and the tumor microenvironment. This connection allows the nervous system to influence processes associated with the development, progression, and metastasis of different tumor types. Therefore, tumor innervation by peripheral nerve fibers is currently emerging as a characteristic that contributes to multiple hallmarks of cancer. Several experimental studies have shown that cancer progression involves actively inducing the ingrowth of autonomic and sensory nerve fibers into tumor tissue. In this process, known as neoaxonogenesis,

Neuroscience in peripheral cancers: tumors hijacking nerves and neuroimmune crosstalk.

Cancer neuroscience is an emerging field that investigates the intricate relationship between the nervous system and cancer, gaining increasing recognition for its importance. The central nervous system governs the development of the nervous system and directly affects brain tumors, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) shapes the tumor microenvironment (TME) of peripheral tumors. Both systems are crucial in cancer initiation and progression, with recent studies revealing a more intricate role of the PNS within the TME. Tumors not only invade nerves but also persuade them through remodeling

Interplay between stress and cancer-A focus on inflammation.

Stress is an integral part of life. While acute responses to stress are generally regarded as beneficial in dealing with immediate threats, chronic exposure to threatening stimuli exerts deleterious effects and can be either a contributing or an aggravating factor for many chronic diseases including cancer. Chronic psychological stress has been identified as a significant factor contributing to the development and progression of cancer, but the mechanisms that link chronic stress to cancer remain incompletely understood. Psychological stressors initiate multiple physiological responses that re

The updated landscape of tumor microenvironment and drug repurposing.

Accumulating evidence shows that cellular and acellular components in tumor microenvironment (TME) can reprogram tumor initiation, growth, invasion, metastasis, and response to therapies. Cancer research and treatment have switched from a cancer-centric model to a TME-centric one, considering the increasing significance of TME in cancer biology. Nonetheless, the clinical efficacy of therapeutic strategies targeting TME, especially the specific cells or pathways of TME, remains unsatisfactory. Classifying the chemopathological characteristics of TME and crosstalk among one another can greatly b

Blood Vessels and Peripheral Nerves as Key Players in Cancer Progression and Therapy Resistance.

Cancer cells continuously interact with the tumor microenvironment (TME), a heterogeneous milieu that surrounds the tumor mass and impinges on its phenotype. Among the components of the TME, blood vessels and peripheral nerves have been extensively studied in recent years for their prominent role in tumor development from tumor initiation. Cancer cells were shown to actively promote their own vascularization and innervation through the processes of angiogenesis and axonogenesis. Indeed, sprouting vessels and axons deliver several factors needed by cancer cells to survive and proliferate, inclu

Emerging mechanism and therapeutic potential of neurofibromatosis type 1-related nerve system tumor: Advancing insights into tumor development.

Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder resulting from mutations in the NF1 gene, which increases susceptibility to various nervous system tumors, including plexiform neurofibromas, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, and optic pathway gliomas. Recent research has shown that these tumors are intricately connected to the complex, dynamic interactions within neurons, culminating in neuronal signaling that fosters tumor growth. These interactions offer crucial insights into the molecular mechanisms underpinning tumor development, as well as broader implications for therapeutic

A malignant symbiosis: The neuro-metabolic symphony rewires the tumor microenvironment.

Emerging evidence in cancer neuroscience has established a reciprocal bidirectional loop between neural signaling and tumor metabolism as a central driver of malignant progression. This review critically evaluates bidirectional neuro-metabolic symbiosis and its profound implications for overcoming treatment refractoriness. We first analyzed the anterograde mechanism, in which peripheral nerve terminals and systemic endocrine factors impose distinct metabolic dependencies on malignant and stromal cell populations. By forcing alterations in nutrient utilization pathways, these neural cues create

Chronic stress in solid tumor development: from mechanisms to interventions.

Chronic stress results in disturbances of body hormones through the neuroendocrine system. Cancer patients often experience recurrent anxiety and restlessness during disease progression and treatment, which aggravates disease progression and hinders treatment effects. Recent studies have shown that chronic stress-regulated neuroendocrine systems secret hormones to activate many signaling pathways related to tumor development in tumor cells. The activated neuroendocrine system acts not only on tumor cells but also modulates the survival and metabolic changes of surrounding non-cancerous cells.

Melittin, a honeybee venom derived peptide for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is the most prevalent neurological complication of cancer treatment which involves sensory and motor nerve dysfunction. Severe CIPN has been reported in around 5% of patients treated with single and up to 38% of patients treated with multiple chemotherapeutic agents. Present medications available for CIPN are the use of opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, and tricyclic antidepressants, which are only marginally effective in treating neuropathic symptoms. In reality, symptom reappears after these drugs are discontinued. The pathogene

Dynamics of fast synaptic excitation during trains of stimulation in myenteric neurons of guinea-pig ileum.

Fast excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSPs) occur in bursts in the myenteric plexus during evoked motor reflexes in the guinea-pig ileum in vitro. This study used electrophysiological methods to study fEPSPs during stimulus trains to mimic bursts of synaptic activity in vitro. The amplitude of fEPSPs or fast excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) declined (rundown) during stimulus trains at frequencies of 0.5, 5, 10 and 20 Hz. At 0.5 Hz, fEPSP or fEPSC amplitude declined by 50% after the first stimulus but remained constant for the remainder of the train. At 5, 10 and 20 Hz, synaptic re
