Matrix metalloproteinase 2-responsive dual-drug-loaded self-assembling peptides suppress tumor growth and enhance breast cancer therapy. (PubMed, Bioeng Transl Med)
This drug delivery system (DI/Pep1) can transport doxorubicin (DOX) and indomethacin (IND) simultaneously to target tumor cells for subsequent drug release while extending drug retention within tumor cells, which increases immunogenic cell death and facilitates the immunotherapeutic effect of CD4+ T cells. Ultimately, DI/Pep1 attenuated tumor-associated inflammation, enhanced the body's immune response, and inhibited breast cancer growth by combining the actions of DOX and IND. Our research offers an approach to hopefully enhance the effectiveness of cancer treatment.

Insight into the molecular mechanism of anti-breast cancer therapeutic potential of substituted salicylidene-based compounds using cell-based assays and molecular docking studies. (PubMed, Eur J Pharmacol)
Molecular docking studies revealed that selected protein targets strongly interact with bioactive compounds, and the estimated inhibition constants (Ki) of JAK2, STAT3, COX-2, HPV31 E6, EGFR1, TP53, and PARP1 were significantly decreased compared to acetylsalicylic acid. This could be a clear indication that these protein targets are implicated with antiproliferative efficacy, thereby warranting the potential of (1) and (7) to be used as anti-breast cancer drug candidates.

The Innate Immune System Surveillance Biomarker p87 in African Americans and Caucasians with Small High-Grade Dysplastic Adenoma [SHiGDA] and Right-Sided JAK3 Colon Mutations May Explain the Presence of Multiple Cancers Revealing an Important Minority of Patients with JAK3 Mutations and Colorectal Neoplasia. (PubMed, Gastrointest Disord (Basel))
Thus, this pilot study suggests that the reduction in p87 in the right colon is possibly correlated with JAK3 mutations. If confirmed, JAK3 mutations, known to be associated with immune aberrations, may provide a mechanistic explanation for the lack of a p87 (protein 87 kilodaltons) field in some patients with HGD polyps who might benefit from possible intervention such as more intensive screening. Limited microbiome studies were also performed on two patients with familial cancer syndromes and these compared favorably with controls available from the literature.

Inhibition of mitochondrial OMA1 ameliorates osteosarcoma tumorigenesis. (PubMed, Cell Death Dis)
Moreover, we found that ciclopirox (CPX), an antifungal drug, induces OMA1 self-cleavage and L-OMA1 degradation in cultured OS cells. CPX also reduces tumor development of control OS cells but not OMA1-deficient OS cells in mice. These findings strongly support the important role of OMA1 in OS tumorigenesis and suggest that OMA1 may be a valuable prognostic marker and a promising therapeutic target for OS.

Diospyros kaki fruit extract produces antiarthritic and antinociceptive effects in rats with complete Freund's adjuvant-induced arthritis. (PubMed, Food Sci Nutr)
Male Wistar rats were grouped as follows (eight rats in each): control, CFA, CFA + indomethacin (5 mg/kg), CFA + DFHE (50 mg/kg), and CFA + DFHE (100 mg/kg)...MDA and TNF-α levels were decreased while thiol levels and SOD and GPx activities were increased in DFHE-treated groups compared to the CFA group. These results suggest that D. kaki extract caused an improvement in clinical signs of rheumatoid arthritis symptoms possibly through suppression of oxidative stress and inflammation.

Future research should focus on enhancing the capacity of this strain across various industries and fostering innovation in multiple fields.

Exploring the Structure-Activity Relationship of COX Inhibitors with Anticancer Effects: A Comprehensive Review. (PubMed, Curr Top Med Chem)
Additionally, several manuscripts employed well-known COX inhibitors, including licofelone, indomethacin, naproxen, tolfenamate, celecoxib, flumizole, and ketoprofen, as starting points for further derivatization and optimization...In particular, derivatives in studies 9, 16, and 24 demonstrated significant activity comparable to standard drugs like celecoxib and doxorubicin...This review highlights the potential of COX-2 selective inhibitors in anticancer drug development. The findings support the development of selective COX-2 inhibitors with diverse chemical structures as a promising strategy for cancer therapy.

In this study, we found that all of the hub genes are linked with the 10 drug components, and it was observed that aspirin CTD 00005447 was mostly associated with all the other hub genes. This bio-informatics study may help researchers better understand the cause of PTB and its relationship with NCDs, and eventually, this can lead to exploring effective treatment plans.

An Impressive Response to Zoldronic Acid Treatment for Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis: A Case Report. (PubMed, J Investig Med High Impact Case Rep)
Data on the use of zoledronic acid (ZA) in juvenile CRMO are scarce...The patient's condition stayed stable while taking naproxen (20 mg/kg/day) and methotrexate (10 mg/week) for 1.5 years until he experienced right elbow pain, swelling, no overlying skin erythema, and a restricted range of motion...Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and methotrexate were initially effective in treating our patient's condition, but a recurrence necessitated treatment modification. To the best of our knowledge, this case is the first documented instance of the use of ZA in CRMO in Iraq and Arab nations.

Aspirin enhances radio/chemo-therapy sensitivity in C. elegans by inducing germ cell apoptosis and suppresses RAS overactivated tumorigenesis via mtROS-mediated DNA damage and MAPK pathway. (PubMed, Biochem Biophys Res Commun)
However, low-dose aspirin can diminish the apoptotic signal of reproductive cells in C. elegans and exert anti-inflammatory effects. Our research results suggest that the tumor-suppressive and radio/chemo-therapy sensitizing effects of aspirin provide robust experimental evidence for improving the clinical efficacy of tumor radio/chemo-therapy and deepening our understanding of aspirin's mechanism of action in cancer.

Flurbiprofen inhibits cAMP transport by MRP4/ABCC4 increasing the potency of gemcitabine treatment in PDAC cell models. (PubMed, Int J Biol Macromol)
Overexpression of MRP4 in BxPC-3 cells significantly increased GEM resistance, and co-administration of flurbiprofen with GEM markedly enhanced the latter's potency inhibiting PDAC cells proliferation. These findings position flurbiprofen as a potent inhibitor of cAMP transport by MRP4 and a promising adjunctive therapy to enhance GEM effectiveness in PDAC treatment.
