Fabrication of co-delivery liposomal formulation incorporating carmustine and cabazitaxel displays improved cytotoxic potential and induced apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells. (PubMed, J Biomater Sci Polym Ed)
In addition, the investigation of fluorescence and protein markers examined the apoptosis mechanistic pathway, and the results indicated that BC-Lipo induced apoptosis due to mitochondrial membrane potential variation. This proof-of-concept study has established the probability of these BCNU-CTX combined treatments as active drug delivery nanocarriers for poorly soluble BCNU and CTX.

Exploiting the role of O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) in gastrointestinal cancers. (PubMed, Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol)
MGMT plays a role in the repair of DNA damage caused by methylating drugs like temozolomide (TMZ) and chloroethylating compounds like carmustine. This review explores the structural functions and repair processes of MGMT, focusing on the putative structural and functional significance of the N-terminal domain of MGMT. It also investigates the advancement of cancer treatment techniques that specifically target MGMT.

MicroRNA-143 overexpression enhances the chemosensitivity of A172 glioblastoma cells to carmustine. (PubMed, Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol)
In conclusion, these results confirmed that miR-143 could enhance carmustine-mediated suppression of cell proliferation and improve the chemosensitivity of A172 cells to this chemotherapeutic agent. Therefore, miR-143 combination therapy may be a promising GBM treatment approach.

System biology approach to identify the novel biomarkers in glioblastoma multiforme tumors by using computational analysis. (PubMed, Front Pharmacol)
Molecular docking investigations indicated that the chosen complexes (carmustine, lomustine, marimastat, and temozolomide) had high binding affinities of -6.3, -7.4, -7.7, and -8.7 kcal/mol, respectively, the mean root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) value for the carmustine complex and marimastat complex was 4.2 Å and 4.9 Å, respectively, and the lomustine and temozolomide complex system showed an average RMSD of 1.2 Å and 1.6 Å, respectively. Additionally, high stability in root-mean-square fluctuation (RMSF) analysis was observed with no structural conformational changes among the atomic molecules. Thus, these in silico investigations develop a new way for experimentalists to target lethal diseases in future.

Finally, drugs with high sensitivity to HNSCC (such as 5-Fluorouracil, Temozolomide, Carmustine, and EPZ5676) were explored and analyze the malignant characteristics of HNSCC. Malignant features associated with HNSCC include angiogenesis, EMT, and the cell cycle. This study has opened up new prospects for the prognosis, prediction, and clinical treatment strategy of HNSCC.

Let-7a-3p overexpression increases chemosensitivity to carmustine and synergistically promotes autophagy and suppresses cell survival in U87MG glioblastoma cancer cells. (PubMed, Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol)
Moreover, the combination therapy decreased the ability of U87MG to form colonies through downregulating CD-44. In conclusion, our work suggests that combining let-7a-3p replacement therapy with carmustine treatment could be considered a promising strategy in treatment and can increase efficiency of glioblastoma chemotherapy.

Characterization of Mitoribosomal Small Subunit unit genes related immune and pharmacogenomic landscapes in renal cell carcinoma. (PubMed, IUBMB Life)
Through in silico screening of 2183 drug targets and 1646 compounds, we identified two targets (RRM2 and OPRD1) and eight agents (AZ960, carmustine, lasalocid, SGI-1776, AZD8055_1059, BPD.00008900_1998, MK.8776_2046, and XAV939_1268) with potential therapeutic implications for high-MRPScore patients. Indeed, a high MRPScore profile appears to elevate the risk of tumor progression and mortality, potentially through its influence on immune regulation. This suggests that the MRPS-related risk model holds promise as a prognostic predictor and may offer novel insights into personalized therapeutic strategies.

CDKN2A promoter methylation enhances self-renewal of glioblastoma stem cells and confers resistance to carmustine. (PubMed, Mol Biol Rep)
Our findings demonstrate that CDKN2A downregulation in glioblastoma cells is associated with decreased cell viability, enhanced drug resistance, increased self-renewal capacity, and altered expression of pluripotency markers. The observed CDKN2A expression changes are mediated by promoter methylation. These results highlight the potential role of CDKN2A as a therapeutic target and prognostic marker in glioblastoma.

The investigation of cytotoxic and apoptotic activity of Cl-amidine on the human U-87 MG glioma cell line. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))
The findings of this study have shown that Cl-amidine exhibits significant potential as an anticancer agent in the treatment of GBM. This conclusion is based on its noteworthy antiproliferative and apoptotic effects observed in U-87 MG cells, as well as its reduced cytotoxicity toward healthy cells in comparison to existing treatments. We propose that the antineoplastic properties of Cl-amidine should be further investigated through a broader spectrum of cancer cell types. Moreover, we believe that investigating the synergistic interactions of Cl-amidine with single or combination therapies holds promise for the discovery of novel anticancer agents.

Development of a prognostic model for glioblastoma multiforme based on the expression levels of efferocytosis-related genes. (PubMed, Aging (Albany NY))
In addition, the high-risk group exhibited higher half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values for temozolomide, carmustine, and vincristine. PDIA4 knockdown reduced efferocytosis in vitro. In summary, the proposed prognostic model for GBM based on efferocytosis-related genes exhibited a robust performance.

A low thrombospondin-1 serum concentration is related to increased bacteremia risk in lymphoma patients treated with BeEAM/BEAM conditioning regimen and autologous stem cell transplantation. (PubMed, Transpl Infect Dis)
Blood samples were collected from 30 patients undergoing BeEAM/BEAM (bendamustine/carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan) conditioning regimen at subsequent time points during AHSCT. Patients with a low concentration of THBS-1 had a higher risk of bacteremia and a shorter time to febrile neutropenia, indicating its potential value as a complications biomarker. Patients with lower serum THBS-1 concentrations, indicating an increased risk, may be more suitable for an inpatient AHSCT procedure, where close monitoring and immediate intervention are accessible.
