Dual Proteasome and Histone Deacetylase Inhibition Overcomes Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Resistance in Breakpoint Cluster Region: Abelson 1-Driven Leukaemia Cell Lines. (PubMed, J Cell Mol Med)
Viability, cytotoxicity, and caspase-3/7 activity were assessed following single-agent treatment with asciminib, ponatinib, bortezomib, or panobinostat. Co-inhibition of proteasomes and histone deacetylases eliminates TKI-refractory BCR::ABL1-driven leukaemia cells by inducing mitochondrial apoptosis and loss of clonogenic potential. These findings indicate a clinically actionable, TKI-independent strategy for the salvage treatment of multidrug-resistant CML.

A simplified co-culture reveals altered cardiotoxic responses to doxorubicin in hPSC-derived cardiomyocytes in the presence of endothelial cells. (PubMed, Stem Cell Reports)
These results question the conventional in vitro focus on cardiomyocytes regarding drug-induced cardiac damage, highlighting the interplay among different cardiac cell types in mediating the toxic effects of doxorubicin. Furthermore, the work demonstrates the potential of AI-based tools to provide scalable strategies for assessing drug-induced cardiotoxicity.

Dichlorophthalic Anhydride Derivatives as Anti-Apoptotic and Antiproliferative Agents by Multi-Targeted Mechanism: Biological Evaluation and Molecular Docking Studies. (PubMed, J Biochem Mol Toxicol)
Significant proportions of fragmented DNA (25.67%, 28.81%, and 32.56%) were identified by 7, 9 and 11, respectively. Compound 7 showed mild inhibition against VEGFR-2 compared to sorafenib, the standard inhibitor.

Investigation of beetroot (Beta Vulgaris) extracts compared to staurosporine in human breast cancer cells: cellular functions in-vitro study. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The BuOH extract had the strongest cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic effects across most assays, with the lowest survival rate (30.11%), high caspase-3/7 (61.48%), high cytochrome c release (11.08 ng/mL), strong ROS (62.71%), and H2O2 production (5.11 µM), and the highest early and late apoptosis rates (26.19% and 29.47%). The findings demonstrate the potential of Beta Vulgaris chemical compounds as natural anticancer agents against breast cancer cells.

Splicing Factor 3a Subunit 1 Promotes Colorectal Cancer Growth via Anti-Apoptotic Effects of Syntaxin12. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Furthermore, STX12 mRNA levels were significantly reduced following SF3A1 knockdown, indicating that SF3A1-mediated stabilization of STX12 contributes to apoptosis resistance in CRC cells. Collectively, our findings establish that SF3A1 promotes CRC progression by stabilizing STX12 mRNA and selectively inhibiting apoptosis in malignant cells, thereby identifying the SF3A1-STX12 regulatory axis as a novel and selective therapeutic target for CRC.

Cell Line-Dependent Cell Death Pathways Induced by Thymoquinone in Colorectal Cancer Cells. (PubMed, Molecules)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality, with resistance to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) representing a major therapeutic challenge...Combined TQ and 5-FU treatment did not produce synergistic cytotoxicity, as confirmed by Bliss independence analysis, but revealed distinct, cell line-dependent death programs. These findings demonstrate that TQ modulates cell death execution in a molecular context-dependent manner rather than enhancing 5-FU efficacy through pharmacological synergy.

Parasporin-2-Derived Peptide Fragments: Characterization and Synergistic Anticancer Activity with Sacha Inchi and Curcumin. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Collectively, these findings support the effectiveness of a substitution-based strategy in improving parasporin fragments and underscore the therapeutic potential of peptide T104L-G108W as a novel anticancer candidate. Furthermore, this study provides preliminary evidence that natural biomolecules can be optimized through targeted modifications and rational combinations, establishing a framework for the development of sustainable and selective therapeutic approaches in cancer treatment.

Genetically encoded biosensor of apoptosis and necrosis reveals the dynamics and biphasic cytotoxicity by Anti-EGFR CAR-T cells. (PubMed, Biosens Bioelectron)
The developed platform offered a robust and scalable approach for real-time functional phenotyping of immune effector responses, addressing a key gap in evaluating cell death mechanisms during immunotherapy development. By enabling the time-resolved quantification of tumor cell demise along with the mode of death, this dual-sensor system established a mechanistic framework for evaluation and rational design of safer and more effective next-generation immunotherapies.

GATA4-targeted compounds induce apoptosis and diminish viability of hepatoblastoma cells. (PubMed, PLoS One)
Transcription factor target analysis demonstrated that a notable proportion of DEGs were likely regulated by GATA4. In conclusion, 3i-2012 decreases hepatoblastoma cell survival by disturbing cell cycle regulation in the tumor cells.

Harmine Derivatives as Anticancer Agents Endowed With Potent and Selective Antileukemia Activity: Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, Proapoptotic and Genotoxic Activity. (PubMed, Arch Pharm (Weinheim))
Importantly, compound 6 exhibited low inhibitory activity against monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and did not promote reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, minimizing potential off-target effects. Together, these findings support the potential of compound 6 as a selective and effective candidate for antileukemia therapy.
