T-cell lymphoid malignancies (TCLMs) are in need of novel and more effective therapies. The histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors and the synthetic cytotoxic retinoid fenretinide have achieved durable clinical responses in T-cell lymphomas as single agents, and patients who failed prior HDAC inhibitor treatment have responded to fenretinide. We have previously shown fenretinide synergized with the class I HDAC inhibitor romidepsin in preclinical models of TCLMs. There exist some key differences between...
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers endangering women’s health. SRY-related high-mobility-group box 6 (SOX6) is associated with many cancers, though its role has not been reported in breast cancer. Here, we aimed to explore the expression and function of SOX6 in breast cancer. On the basis of the analysis of SOX6 in The Cancer Genome Atlas, Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia and Genotype-Tissue Expression databases, we revealed that SOX6 was downregulated in breast cancer, and we verified...
Approximately 50% of melanomas are characterized by BRAF mutation (V600E in 90% of cases), that predicts more aggressive behaviour. This mutation is the target of dabrafenib, an anti-BRAF tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI), that together with trametinib, anti-MEK TKI, is approved for first-line treatment of metastatic melanoma due to significant benefit in overall and progression-free survival. Most common treatment-related adverse events are pyrexia, chills, fatigue, rash, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea....
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling is frequently activated in lung cancer. In our previous study, a new class of compounds containing pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine scaffold with an acrylamide moiety was designed as irreversible EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors to overcome acquired EGFR-T790M resistance. In this study, we selected the most promising compound Z25h to further investigate its effects and the underlying mechanism against non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma cells in vitro. Four...

Conclusion. White females living in adjacent to hog CAFOs areas of southeastern NC have lower rates of mortality from uterine cancer than African American females, but they have higher odds of death compared to their counterparts living in other NC areas. African American females living near CAFOs also have modest increases from their high baseline mortality. While the observed associations do not prove a causation, improving access to screening and medical care is important to mitigate this health...
Authors: Wishka DG, Lopez OD, Rudchenko VF, Huang G, Bahde R, Kumar V, Denysenko SM, Zhang L, Zhang M, Teicher BA, Morris J Abstract The lack of effective methods to perform direct β-selective glycosylation reactions with 2-deoxy-1,4-dithio-D-erythro-pentofuranosides has long been a significant stumbling block for the multi-gram synthesis of 4'-thio-2'-deoxy nucleosides. In addition, previously reported methods for the preparation of appropriately substituted 2-deoxy-1,4-dithio-D-erythro-pentofuranosides...
In this study, 12 new 4-selenopyrimidine derivatives that are unstable in acidic solutions but very stable in alkaline and neutral solutions avoiding light were synthesized, and the antitumor activities on HepG2 cell lines of these compounds were evaluated by MTT assay. The results have shown that these compounds could reduce the proliferation of HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent fashion, and the inhibitory activity of compounds a6 was greater than that of positive control 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), the...

Authors: Alexandrova AY, Chikina AS, Svitkina TM Abstract During development of metastasis, tumor cells migrate through different tissues and encounter different extracellular matrices. An ability of cells to adapt mechanisms of their migration to these diverse environmental conditions, called migration plasticity, gives tumor cells an advantage over normal cells for long distant dissemination. Different modes of individual cell motility-mesenchymal and amoeboid-are driven by different...
Authors: Saeed MB, Record J, Westerberg LS Abstract Actin cytoskeleton remodeling facilitates and fine-tunes diverse cellular processes. Cells have evolved to use the same building blocks of actin monomers to form filaments through the sequential and synchronous use of actin filament regulators. This is best illustrated in immune cells which rely on a highly dynamic cytoskeleton to patrol the body and recognize and respond to cancer cells. Here, we highlight key actin regulators that are...
Authors: Koncina E, Letellier E Abstract The view that myosins, which are actin based molecular motors, are only driving muscle contraction evolved a lot during the last decades. Nowadays, it is known that they reshape the actin skeleton, anchor or transport vesicles, organelles as well as protein complexes. Here, we review how their role in cell division, polarization, migration and death is related to the cancer phenotype. We will further focus our attention on recent evidences suggesting...
Authors: Azadi S, Tafazzoli Shadpour M Abstract The physical cues of tumor microenvironment (TME) contribute greatly to the initiation and progression of cancer. Tumor tissues usually become stiffer than healthy tissues with more aligned fibers and changed porosity. In recent years, numerous studies attempted to investigate whether biophysical cues from the surrounding environment affect the biophysical, biochemical, and biological behavior of cells and consequently attribute to the development...
Authors: Biber G, Ben-Shmuel A, Sabag B, Barda-Saad M Abstract The cytoskeleton is a central factor contributing to various hallmarks of cancer. In recent years, there has been increasing evidence demonstrating the involvement of actin regulatory proteins in malignancy, and their dysregulation was shown to predict poor clinical prognosis. Although enhanced cytoskeletal activity is often associated with cancer progression, the expression of several inducers of actin polymerization is remarkably...
Authors: C Guven D, Sahin TK, Dizdar O, Kilickap S Abstract In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors have rapidly changed treatment paradigms and have been pivotal for the treatment of advanced NSCLC patients. However, many patients don't respond to immunotherapy, and toxicities are a concern. Mounting evidence suggests that PD-L1 expression and tumor mutational burden are useful biomarkers in NSCLC and widely used in clinical practice. Given various limitations of PD-L1 and tumor...

Authors: Meng Y, Bian L, Zhang M, Bo F, Lu X, Li D Abstract Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the sixth leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Due to the low early diagnosis rate of HNC, local recurrence and high distant metastasis rate are the main reasons for treatment failure. Therefore, it is important to establish a method of diagnosis and monitoring, which is convenient, safe, reproducible, sensitive and specific. Compared with tissue biopsy, liquid biopsy is an emerging biopsy technique,...

Authors: Bencko V, Tuček M, Quinn JM Abstract Traditional approaches and study design in cancer epidemiology have not been very successful in identifying and evaluating adequately the potential risk and/or protective factors associated with the disease. The main reasons for the failure are often due the small study sample size, and inadequate exposure information. In this paper, issues and approaches relevant to these two challenges are discussed. Multicentre study is proposed as a way...

ConclusionsBoth pre-biopsy MRI and cognitive-targeted biopsy contributed to improvement of cancer yield. Future alterations of possible benefit included increasing target cores per lesion, and combining PI-RADS score and PSA density as indicators for biopsy. Similar protocols may represent an on-going role for lower volume centers in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. (Source: International Urology and Nephrology)

Authors: Xu B, Sun T, Wang S, Lin Y Abstract INTRODUCTION: Metronomic chemotherapy (MCT) is based on frequent dosing of the drug - typically using an oral formulation - at below the maximum tolerated dose. This leads to pharmacologically active but low plasma concentrations that reduce toxicity and allow treatment to be administered for a longer time. Mechanistically, MCT seems to work primarily via indirect effects on tumor cells and their microenvironment, rather than direct antitumor...
