    Journal:  Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization is safe and effective for patients with late-stage or recurrent oral carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) -  Aug 10, 2022   
    The tumor-feeding artery was catheterized, and cisplatin/oxaliplatin and 5-FU/raltitrexed were infused with embolization using polyvinyl alcohol or gelatin sponge...TACE is a safe and effective procedure with minimal invasiveness for treating late-stage or recurrent oral carcinoma. TACE can be recommended as a palliative treatment, particularly for patients with oral hemorrhage.

    Journal, Heterogeneity:  Single-Cell Chemical Proteomics (SCCP) Interrogates the Timing and Heterogeneity of Cancer Cell Commitment to Death. (Pubmed Central) -  Jul 9, 2022   
    Using SCCP, we studied here the time-resolved response of individual adenocarcinoma A549 cells to anticancer drugs methotrexate, camptothecin, and tomudex, revealing the early emergence of cellular subpopulations committed and uncommitted to death. As a novel and useful approach to exploring the heterogeneous response to drugs of cancer cells, SCCP may prove to be a breakthrough application for single-cell proteomics.

    Journal, Combination therapy:  Effect of Uracil DNA Glycosylase Activity on the Efficacy of Thymidylate Synthase Inhibitor/HDAC Inhibitor Combination Therapies in Colon Cancer. (Pubmed Central) -  May 14, 2022   
    Interestingly, UNG2 protein levels can also be depleted by the HDAC inhibitors SAHA and MS275, providing a pharmacologic strategy to reduce UNG2 activity in cells...Our combined genetic and pharmacologic strategies targeting UNG2 activity in cells are defining cell death mechanisms for combination therapies of TS inhibitors and HDAC inhibitors. Future work will examine these drug combinations in additional cell lines to understand optimal therapeutic combinations and to further refine mechanisms of cell death.

    Preliminary results of raltitrexed in Chinese patients with metastatic colorectal cancer: A prospective, multicenter, real-world study. (Available On Demand; 385) -  Apr 28, 2022 - Abstract #ASCO2022ASCO_1392;    
    Between May 2018 and December 2021,a total of 1039 patients from 57 centers were screened for enrollment,among which 271 patients were treated with raltitrexed plus irinotecan, 753 patients accepted target therapy (bevacizumab or cetuximab) additionally, and 15 patients combined with other drugs. The real-world study confirmd that raltitrexed was an effective and safe regimen for the second-line treatment in Chinese patients with mCRC, especially combined with target therapy additionally, which was aligned with previous trials.

    Journal:  Precipitate-Supported Thermal Proteome Profiling Coupled with Deep Learning for Comprehensive Screening of Drug Target Proteins. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 19, 2022   
    Using a promiscuous kinase inhibitor, staurosporine, we delineated 99 kinase targets with a specificity up to 83% in K562 cell lysates, which represented a significant improvement over the existing thermal shift methods. Furthermore, the PSTPP strategy was successfully applied to analyze the binding targets of rapamycin, identifying the well-known targets, FKBP1A, as well as revealing a few other potential targets.

    Indeed, a TS specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) as well as the TS specific inhibitor Raltitrexed (RTX) caused a reduction in productively infected cells...These results suggest that TS is essential for the early stages of HIV-1 infection by providing optimal dNTP concentrations in MDMs. TS and its related pathway may thus be considered as a potential therapeutic target for HIV-1 treatment.

    Raltitrexed in patients with colorectal cancer who were previously treated with fluoropyrimidine-based systemic therapy is effective and well-tolerated. The RS regimen demonstrated favorable effects in patients with mCRC following failure of standard chemotherapy, and could be a new choice for third-line treatment, and must be verified in future randomized clinical trials (Clinical trial: NCT02618356).

    Journal:  Tumor acid microenvironment-activated self-targeting & splitting gold nanoassembly for tumor chemo-radiotherapy. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 2, 2021   
    Polyethylene glycol linked raltitrexed (RTX, target ligand and chemotherapy drug) and two tertiary amine molecules (1-(2-aminoethyl) pyrrolidine and N, N-dibutylethylenediamine) are modified on the surface of the 6-nm gold nanoparticles by lipoic acid to form gold nanoassembly defined as Au-NNP(RTX)...Meanwhile, after disassembly, more RTXs on the surface of gold nanoparticles are exposed from the shielded state of assembly along with 2.25-fold augment of cellular uptake capability. Most importantly, the results show that Au-NNP(RTX) possesses of high tumor accumulation and effective tumor penetration, thereby enhancing the tumor chemo-radiotherapy efficiency.
