Targeting anoikis resistance as a strategy for cancer therapy Drug Resist. Updat. (IF 15.8) Pub Date : 2024-06-01 Yumin Wang, Sihang Cheng, Joshua S. Fleishman, Jichao Chen, Hailin Tang, Zhe-Sheng Chen, Wenkuan Chen, Mingchao Ding
Anoikis, known as matrix detachment-induced apoptosis or detachment-induced cell death, is crucial for tissue development and homeostasis. Cancer cells develop means to evade anoikis, e.g. anoikis resistance, thereby allowing for cells to survive under anchorage-independent conditions. Uncovering the mechanisms of anoikis resistance will provide details about cancer metastasis, and potential strategies

Application of biomimetic nanovaccines in cancer immunotherapy: A useful strategy to help combat immunotherapy resistance Drug Resist. Updat. (IF 15.8) Pub Date : 2024-06-01 Zhijie Xu, Haiyan Zhou, Tongfei Li, Qiaoli Yi, Abhimanyu Thakur, Kui Zhang, Xuelei Ma, Jiang-Jiang Qin, Yuanliang Yan
Breakthroughs in actual clinical applications have begun through vaccine-based cancer immunotherapy, which uses the body's immune system, both humoral and cellular, to attack malignant cells and fight diseases. However, conventional vaccine approaches still face multiple challenges eliciting effective antigen-specific immune responses, resulting in immunotherapy resistance. In recent years, biomimetic

FAT1 as a tumor mutation burden specific gene affects the immunotherapy effect in head and neck squamous cell cancer Drug Resist. Updat. (IF 15.8) Pub Date : 2024-05-27 Haotian Cao, Tianjun Lan, Shijia Kuang, Liansheng Wang, Jintao Li, Qunxin Li, Yanyan Li, Qiuping Xu, Qian Chen, Shuwei Ren, Chunhong Lan, Nengtai Ouyang, Jianwei Liao, Yongsheng Huang, Jinsong Li
Response to immunotherapy is the main challenge of head and neck squamous cancer (HNSCC) treatment. Previous studies have indicated that tumor mutational burden (TMB) is associated with prognosis, but it is not always a precise index. Hence, investigating specific genetic mutations and tumor microenvironment (TME) changes in TMB-high patients is essential for precision therapy of HNSCC. A total of

KLF12 interacts with TRIM27 to affect cisplatin resistance and cancer metastasis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by regulating L1CAM expression Drug Resist. Updat. (IF 15.8) Pub Date : 2024-05-27 Hao Zhang, Yujia Zheng, Zhen Wang, Lin Dong, Liyan Xue, Xiaolin Tian, Haiteng Deng, Qi Xue, Shugeng Gao, Yibo Gao, Chunxiang Li, Jie He
Krüppel-like factor 12 (KLF12) has been characterized as a transcriptional repressor, and previous studies have unveiled its roles in angiogenesis, neural tube defect, and natural killer (NK) cell proliferation. However, the contribution of KLF12 to cancer treatment remains undefined. Here, we show that KLF12 is downregulated in various cancer types, and KLF12 downregulation promotes cisplatin resistance

Characterization of NMCR-3, NMCR-4 and NMCR-5, three novel non-mobile colistin resistance determinants: Implications for MCR-3, MCR-7, and MCR-5 progenitors, respectively Drug Resist. Updat. (IF 15.8) Pub Date : 2024-04-26 Yating Guo, Geng Zou, Anusak Kerdsin, Constance Schultsz, Can Hu, Weicheng Bei, Huanchun Chen, Jinquan Li, Yang Zhou
In this study, the progenitors of MCR-3, MCR-7 and MCR-5, namely NMCR-3, NMCR-4 and NMCR-5, were firstly discovered and indicating was a natural reservoir for MCR-3 and MCR-7. Furthermore, different evolutionary models for MCR-3, MCR-7 and MCR-5 were proposed.

Pulido, Maria Romero-Muñoz, Fernando Docobo-Pérez, Alvaro Pascual, Jose Manuel Rodriguez-Martinez
In recent years, new evidence has shown that the SOS response plays an important role in the response to antimicrobials, with involvement in the generation of clinical resistance. Here we evaluate the impact of heterogeneous expression of the SOS response in clinical isolates of on response to the fluoroquinolone, ciprofloxacin. analysis of whole genome sequencing data showed remarkable sequence conservation

Spotlight on ideal target antigens and resistance in antibody-drug conjugates: Strategies for competitive advancement Drug Resist. Updat. (IF 15.8) Pub Date : 2024-04-23 Mingxia Jiang, Qiao Li, Binghe Xu
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a novel and promising approach in targeted therapy, uniting the specificity of antibodies that recognize specific antigens with payloads, all connected by the stable linker. These conjugates combine the best targeted and cytotoxic therapies, offering the killing effect of precisely targeting specific antigens and the potent cell-killing power of small molecule

Enhanced DNA repair is an important mechanism of inherent and acquired resistance to DNA targeted therapies, including poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibition. Spleen associated tyrosine kinase (Syk) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase acknowledged for its regulatory roles in immune cell function, cell adhesion, and vascular development. This study presents evidence indicating that Syk expression

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common digestive malignancyin the world, which is frequently diagnosed at late stage with a poor prognosis. For most patients with advanced HCC, the therapeutic options arelimiteddue to cancer occurrence of drug resistance. Hepatic cancer stem cells (CSCs) account for a small subset of tumor cells with the ability of self-renewal and differentiationin HCC
