Journal: FilGAP regulates tumor growth in Glioma through the regulation of mTORC1 and mTORC2. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 9, 2023 The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that forms the two different protein complexes, known as mTORC1 and mTORC2...Finally, we showed that depletion of FilGAP in KINGS-1 and U-87MG cells significantly reduced spheroid growth. These results suggest that FilGAP may contribute to tumor growth in glioma by regulating mTORC1/2 activities.

Journal: Emodin exhibits anti-acne potential by inhibiting cell growth, lipogenesis, and inflammation in human SZ95 sebocytes. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 7, 2023 In addition, emodin could decrease the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8, and suppress the expression of NLRP3, capase-1, IL-1?, and IL-18 in SZ95 sebocytes exposed to Cutibacterium acnes. Overall, our study provides preliminary evidence supporting the anti-growth, anti-lipogenic and anti-inflammatory properties of emodin, indicating the potential therapeutic application of emodin for acne treatment.

These advancements present a promising frontier for tailored interventions with the potential to significantly improve outcomes for TNBC patients. Interestingly, while TNBC poses a complex challenge, it also serves as a paradigm and an opportunity for translational research and innovative therapies in the field of oncology.

Journal: Mutant PIK3CA is a targetable driver alteration in histiocytic neoplasms. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 4, 2023 Alpelisib demonstrated a tolerable safety profile at a dose of 750mg/week and clinical and metabolic complete remission in a PIK3CA-mutated LCH patient. These data demonstrate PIK3CA as a targetable non-canonical driver of LCH and underscore the importance of mutational analysis-based personalized treatment in histiocytic neoplasms.

Journal: Curcumin inhibits the activity and induces apoptosis of activated hepatic stellate cell by suppressing autophagy. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 27, 2023 Our results showed that rapamycin, an autophagy activator, could partly offset the effects of curcumin on autophagy and apoptosis of LX-2 cells, while 3-Methyladenine (3-MA), an autophagy inhibitor, could enhance these effects...Overall, we demonstrated that curcumin could inhibit the activity and promote LX-2 cells apoptosis by suppressing autophagy by activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signal pathway. In addition, lipid recovery and energy deprivation due to autophagy inhibition may be the exact mechanism by which curcumin attenuates the pro-fibrotic activity of LX-2.

Based on bioinformatics analysis, we found the function of BATF2 in promoting anti-tumor immune response in patients with NSCLC, which is mediated by BATF2 enhances CD8 T cells infiltration as well as activation. BATF2 from circulating and tissue can serve as an efficient biomarker to predict diagnosis, prognosis and immunotherapy efficacy.
- |||||||||| Journal: Protein interaction network analysis of mTOR signaling reveals modular organization. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 27, 2023
Using primary fibroblasts from individuals with overgrowth disorders caused by pathogenic PIK3CA or MTOR variants, we find that hyperactivation of mTOR pathway components is reflected in a hyperactive PIN. Our data define a "modular" organization of the mTOR PIN in which coordinated groups of interactions respond to activation or inhibition of distinct nodes, and demonstrate that kinase inhibitors affect the modular network architecture in a complex manner, inconsistent with simple linear models of signal transduction.

The identification of PI3K-AKT and Wnt signal transduction pathways as respective inducers of the immunomodulatory capacity of M-MDSCs and TolDCs provides opportunities to overcome suppressive myeloid cells in cancer patients and optimize therapeutic application of TolDCs in patients with autoimmune diseases. Lastly, the observed similarities between generated- and patient-derived M-MDSCs support the use of in vitro generated M-MDSCs as powerful model to investigate the functionality of human MDSCs.

Cancers with wild-type BRCA, homologous recombination proficiency, or de novo or acquired resistance to PARP inhibition represent a growing population of patients who may benefit from combinatorial PARP inhibitor strategies. We review targeted inhibitors of angiogenesis, epigenetic regulators, and PI3K, MAPK, and other cellular signaling pathways as inducers of homologous recombination deficiency, providing support for the use of PARP inhibitors in contexts not previously considered susceptible to PARP inhibition.

In conclusion, these data suggest that NK attenuates OVX-induced bone loss by enhancing osteogenesis and inhibiting osteoclastogenesis.
