    Review, Journal:  Prospects of anti-GD2 immunotherapy for retinoblastoma. (Pubmed Central) -  Dec 2, 2024   
    Additionally, chimeric antigen receptors (CAR)-T therapy, GD2 vaccines and nanoparticles are also potential therapeutics. Finally, we discuss the prospects and current limitations of these immunotherapeutic approaches for treating retinoblastoma, as well as how to address these problems.

    Journal:  Molecular Interactions of the Plant Steroid Hormone Epibrassinolide on Human Drug-Sensitive and Drug-Resistant Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma Cells. (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 27, 2024   
    Pharmacologic interactions between EB and the Wnt signaling inhibitors IGC-011 and PRI-724 were determined by the combination index method and showed antagonism, indicating that EB acts on the same pathway as these inhibitors...Following exposure to human liver microsomes, EB was metabolized by NADPH-dependent oxidation and UDPG-dependent glucuronidation, as evidenced by the elimination of EB cytotoxicity against SCLC cells. Taken together, these data indicate that EB, a steroid hormone in plants consumed in the human diet, is pharmacologically active in drug-sensitive and drug-resistant SCLC cells in the Wnt signaling pathway, alters apoptotic gene expression, and is a substrate for microsomal modifications.

    Review, Journal:  The role of CD98 heavy chain in cancer development. (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 16, 2024   
    Targeting CD98hc/LAT1, alone or with conventional therapies, shows promise in inhibiting tumor growth.

    APR-246 Overcomes Resistance to Asparaginase in Lymphoid Malignancies By Targeting Metabolic Cell Vulnerabilities (Halls G-H (San Diego Convention Center)) -  Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_5212;    
    In our work, APR-246/Erwinase combination effectively disrupts the balance between ROS generation and antioxidation dependent on glutamine/GSH metabolism in ASNase-R cells and leads to cell death by ferroptosis. Prospective phase I/II studies are now required to confirm the clinical efficacy of APR-246/Erwinase combination in ASNase-R ENKTL and ALL patients.

    We support the use of pediatric AML-PDXs in preclinical testing for their ability to mimic the heterogeneity of drug response, aiding in the identification of tailored second-line treatments. VEN+ASPN combination represents a novel promising therapeutic strategy for advancing the treatment of KMT2A-rearranged AML.

    Abundance of Relapse-Predictive Cells Can be Estimated at Diagnosis and Is Strongly Associated with Outcome in Pediatric AML (Seaport Ballroom EFGH (Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego)) -  Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_1322;    
    Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models were treated with cytarabine (50 mg/kg/dose) or saline on days 1-4...The RARA/RXRA complex represses transcription in the absence of retinoic acid; transcription can be activated by the agonist tamibarotene (tami)...We validated the association of these cell types with chemoresistance in PDX models. We identified retinoic acid receptor agonism as a potential strategy to deplete one of these cell types.

    Journal:  Local Sustained Dinutuximab Delivery and Release From Methacrylated Chondroitin Sulfate. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 3, 2024   
    The CSMA hydrogel-only treatment slowed tumor growth as well, an interesting effect that may indicate interactions between the CSMA and cell adhesion molecules in the tumor microenvironment. These findings demonstrate a potential avenue for local sustained delivery of dinutuximab for improved anti-tumoral response in high-risk NB.

    Journal:  LAT1 supports mitotic progression through Golgi unlinking in an amino acid transport activity-independent manner. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 14, 2024   
    Unexpectedly, JPH203, an inhibitor of LAT1 amino acid transport activity, does not affect mitotic progression...These results suggest that LAT1 supports mitotic progression in an amino acid transport activity-independent manner and that Golgi-localized LAT1 is important for mitotic progression through the acceleration of Golgi unlinking and centrosome maturation. These findings reveal a novel LAT1 function in mitosis.

    Journal:  Combined targeting of Hedgehog/GLI1 and Wnt/?-catenin pathways in mantle cell lymphoma. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 1, 2024   
    Overall, the combined targeting of both the Hh/GLI1 and Wnt/?-catenin pathways was more effective in suppressing proliferation, inducing G0/G1 cycle retardation, promoting apoptosis, and increasing drug sensitivity of MCL cells than mono treatments. These findings emphasize the potential of combinatorial therapy for treating MCL patients.

    Review, Journal:  Current Knowledge and Perspectives of Immunotherapies for Neuroblastoma. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 31, 2024   
    Over the past two decades, application of dinutuximab, an anti-GD2 monoclonal antibody (mAb), has been one of the few new therapies to substantially improve outcomes to current levels...Herein, we summarize the current state of the art in NBL therapeutic options and highlight the unique challenges posed by NBL that have limited the successful adoption of immune-modifying therapies. Through this review, we aim to direct the field's attention to opportunities that may benefit from a combination immunotherapy strategy.

    Journal:  PFDA promotes cancer metastasis through macrophage M2 polarization mediated by Wnt/?-catenin signaling. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 8, 2024   
    Furthermore, in vivo studies corroborated that PFDA-pretreated RAW264.7 could promote tumor metastasis, which could be mitigated by pretreatment with the ?-catenin inhibitor ICG001. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that PFDA could promote cancer metastasis through regulating macrophage M2 polarization in a Wnt/?-catenin-dependent manner.

    Journal:  Patterns of recurrence after radiotherapy for high-risk neuroblastoma: Implications for radiation dose and field. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 7, 2024   
    Despite EBRT, LRR remains a contributor to treatment failure in HR-NBL with approximately half of LRRs including a component of marginal failure. Future prospective studies are needed to explore whether radiation fields and doses should be defined based on molecular features such as MYCN amplification, and/or response to chemotherapy.
