Targeting AURKB Attenuates Tumor Growth in MYC-driven Lung Adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, Anticancer Res)
AURKB contributes to LUAD progression by modulating MYC-driven oncogenic programs. Consequently, targeting the AURKB/MYC axis may represent a potential therapeutic strategy for MYC-dependent lung adenocarcinoma.

Inhibition of Aurora B induces senescence and potentiates immunotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, Cell Oncol (Dordr))
This study identifies Aurora B as a therapeutically actionable vulnerability in HCC, whose inhibition induces senescence and enhances tumor immunogenicity. The combination of Aurora B inhibitor with anti-PD-1 therapy yields synergistic anti-tumor effects, supporting its potential as a promising strategy to improve immunotherapy outcomes in HCC.

Molecular mechanism of S100P promotes hepatocellular carcinoma by regulating MYBL2-mediated transcription of AURKB. (PubMed, Cell Signal)
HCC cells with low S100P expression showed significantly greater sensitivity to the AURKB inhibitor AZD1152-HQPA than control cells, with a 61% decrease in IC₅₀. This study reveals the S100P/MYBL2/AURKB axis as a key driver of HCC and a predictor of targeted therapy response, supporting precision treatment strategies.

Design, synthesis, and Lead optimization of novel Quinazoline-based FLT3 inhibitors with potent anti-acute myelogenous leukemia activity. (PubMed, Bioorg Med Chem Lett)
Guided by a scaffold-hopping strategy based on G-749 (denfivontinib), a series of quinazoline-based derivatives was designed and synthesized to explore structure-activity relationships (SAR)...Mechanism studies indicated that W4 induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, accompanied by a reduction in intracellular reactive oxygen species levels and a loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. Collectively, these results identified W4 as a potent FLT3 inhibitor and provided valuable SAR insights for further scaffold optimization.

Cellular and molecular determinants of lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma: Integrated multi-omics profiling and machine learning models. (PubMed, Comput Biol Chem)
Computational analysis suggests that the high-risk group is potentially sensitive to targeted drugs such as ZM447439. Furthermore, in vitro experiments confirmed that FN1 silencing significantly suppresses the migration and proliferation of PTC cells. This study systematically deciphers the functional adaptive reprogramming during PTC LNM, providing novel insights and tools for LNM prediction and targeted therapy.
