Review, Journal: Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Implications of Ageing on Infection and Maintaining Protection in the Elderly. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 15, 2022 These strategies would need to be further explored and range from immunomodulators, like Everolimus to antioxidant supplementation through GSH intake. We have also proposed the need to research these therapies in conjunction with the administration of the BCG vaccine, especially in endemic populations, to better understand the risk contracting M. tb infection as well as ways to prevent infection in the first place.

Journal: Use of Human Lung Tissue Models for Screening of Drugs against SARS-CoV-2 Infection. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 15, 2022 In particular, fluvoxamine, as well as aprepitant, everolimus, and sirolimus, has virus reduction efficacy comparable to the current standard of care (remdesivir, molnupiravir, nirmatrelvir). Whilst these results are encouraging, further testing and efficacy studies are required before clinical use can be considered.

Everolimus with or without bevacizumab in advanced pNET: CALGB 80701 (Alliance) () - Nov 15, 2022 - Abstract #SWOGFall2022SWOG_Fall_162; In summary, treatment with everolimus and bevacizumab led to superior PFS and higher response rates compared to everolimus in patients with advanced pNETs. Although the higher rate of treatment-related adverse events may limit the use of this combination, our results support the continued evaluation of VEGF pathway inhibitors in pNETs.

(Pubmed Central) - Nov 9, 2022 It also provides a rational basis for targeted clinical trials evaluating alternative immunosuppressive modification strategies. Although there are studies that have evaluated the effect of rapamycin and rapalogues on MSKD in humans, the evidence supporting its use is still incipient, and the clinical implication of these results on the development of osteoporosis, sarcopenia, or osteosarcopenia has not been studied, opening an interesting field for future research.

CONCLUSIONS COMPOSE results are expected to inform about optimal treatment options for patients with well‑differentiated aggressive grade 2 and grade 3 SSTR+ GEP-NETs, including for first-line therapy.

Over time some patients achieve "tolerance," defined as the successful stopping of immunosuppression with good graft function and no indication of rejection. Cell-based therapy using immune cells with tolerogenic potential is the future and may permit complete withdrawal of immunosuppressive agents.

We therefore incubated six T-ALL cell lines with four inhibitors of the PI3K/mTOR/AKT pathway (AZD5363, GDC0941, BEZ235 and rapamycin) for 48 and 72hrs and showed surface CD21 up-regulation by flow cytometry of > two-fold at both time points for all inhibitors, with BEZ235 showing the greatest fold increases across all cell lines...When clinically approved PI3K inhibitors (Idelalisib, Duvelisib, Copanlisib, Everolimus) were used, an increase in CD21 expression was again seen across 5 T-ALL cell lines tested...In vivo models analyzing the impact of copanlisib tumor priming on CAR-T efficacy and persistence are ongoing. Target antigen modulation is a promising strategy for enhancing CAR efficacy and reducing risk of antigen negative relapse in low antigen density targets.

Journal: PICT-1 regulates p53 splicing and sensitivity of medullary thyroid carcinoma cells to everolimus. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 4, 2022 mTOR pathway investigations revealed that PICT-1 overexpression induced a reduction in PTEN expression and a robust increase in the expression level of phospho-Akt-Ser47 only partially inhibited by everolimus. These findings suggest a possible role of PICT-1 in the spliceosome machinery and provide functional involvement of PICT-1 in the complex network of mTOR.

Journal: Everolimus reduces BK polyomavirus infection by suppressing its replication and spread of infection. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 4, 2022 Everolimus suppressed the number of infected cells to 32.8% during a 14-day treatment, indicating the reduction of BK polyomavirus-infected cell mass to 18.8% of untreated cultures by modifying cellular functions. The reduction in the total number of BK polyomavirus infected cells by everolimus indicates that everolimus alleviates BK polyomavirus infection, including nephropathy in transplant recipients.

(Pubmed Central) - Nov 2, 2022 Approximately 120 Hibiscus components and ten approved anti-cancer drugs, including the mTOR inhibitor everolimus, were used in the comparative analysis...The results demonstrated that the best mTOR binding affinities were found for stigmastadienol (107), lupeol (66), and taraxasterol acetate (111), which all performed well in comparison to the control compounds. Thus, bioactive compounds isolated from Hibiscus rosa-sinensis could serve as lead molecules for the creation of potent and effective mTOR inhibitors for the breast cancer therapy.
