Adaptation of colorectal cancer cells to the brain microenvironment: The role of IRS2 (Section 13) - Mar 9, 2022 - Abstract #AACR2022AACR_3022; Interestingly, β-catenin inhibition (using ICG-001) or IRS2 inhibition (using NT219) in IRS2-expressing cells decreased their viability, β-catenin transcriptional activity, and mitochondrial activity, suggesting involvement of IRS2 in modulating OXPHOS through β-catenin...These effects may be mediated, at least in part, by modulation of the β-catenin and OXPHOS pathway. Given the molecular signature described, the approach to patients with BM may be significantly impacted by agents such as NT219.

PD-L1 Mediates Lung Fibroblast to Myofibroblast Transition Through Smad3 and GSK3beta/Beta-Catenin Signaling Pathways (Area K, Hall F (North Building, Exhibition Level), Moscone Center) - Feb 19, 2022 - Abstract #ATS2022ATS_5000; We found significantly increased PD-L1 in the lungs of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients and mice with pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin and TGF-β...Inhibiting β-catenin signaling with the pharmaceutical inhibitor ICG001 significantly attenuated TGF-β-induced FMT. Our findings demonstrate that fibroblast PD-L1 may promote pulmonary fibrosis through both Smad3 and GSK3β/β-catenin signaling and may represent a novel interventional target for IPF.
