(Pubmed Central) - Nov 25, 2024 We have developed a molecular signature that could serve as a companion diagnostic and uses bulk or spatial transcriptomic data to identify a unique subclass of liver tumors. This subgroup of liver cancer patients derive limited benefit from the current standard of care and are expected to benefit from specialized directed therapies that are on the horizon.

Luteolin had a good anti-NSCLC effect, and the apoptosis-inducing effect might be related to the Akt/MDM2/p53 signaling pathway.

Journal: Second messenger c-di-AMP regulates multiple antibiotic sensitivity pathways in Mycobacterium smegmatis by discrete mechanisms. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 23, 2024 We studied four antibiotics with different mechanisms of action: rifampicin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, and tobramycin and subsequently found that the level of drug sensitivity of the bacteria is directly proportional to the c-di-AMP concentration inside the cell. Further, we unraveled the underlying molecular mechanisms to delineate the specific genes and pathways regulated by c-di-AMP and hence result in differential drug sensitivity in M. smegmatis.

Journal, Monotherapy: Examining effective monotherapy hypothesis for TB therapy failure and resistance emergence. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 23, 2024 BACKGROUNDWe tested the hypothesis that because of the different metabolic states of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in lesions, drugs in combination therapy often act effectively as monotherapy, leading to therapy failure and resistance emergence.METHODSBactericidal and sterilizing activity studies were performed in the hollow fiber system of TB (HFS-TB) using the human equivalent dose of isoniazid (INH) 300 mg/day, rifampin (RIF) 600 mg/day, and pyrazinamide (PZA) 1.5 g/day either as monotherapy, two-, and three-drug combination for 28 days...RIF and INH-resistant subpopulations did not increase despite premixing the inoculum with isogenic-resistant strains.CONCLUSIONEffective monotherapy arising from the selectivity of antibiotics against special Mtb sub-populations may not be the primary mechanism of resistance emergence. Different metabolic populations of Mtb were killed by more than one drug and were not under monotherapy when combination therapy was administered..
