Integrated Multiomics Analysis Suggests Statin-Associated Perturbation of DNA Repair Signaling in Colorectal Cancer Cells. (PubMed, OMICS)
To investigate this possibility, publicly available transcriptomic, proteomic, and phosphoproteomic datasets derived from colorectal cancer models treated with atorvastatin or lovastatin were systematically analyzed...Integrated multi-omics analysis revealed coordinated perturbation of tumor protein p53 (TP53)-centered DNA repair signaling, including pathways involved in TP53 regulation and double-strand break repair. Taken together, these findings suggest that statin-induced alteration of TP53-mediated DNA repair signaling may promote the persistence of DNA damage, thereby increasing the sensitivity of tumor cells to chemotherapy and potentially mitigating resistance mechanisms in colorectal cancer.

Rosuvastatin enhances the efficacy of venetoclax-azacitidine in older acute myeloid leukemia patients via reducing T-cell exhaustion. (PubMed, Cancer Immunol Immunother)
Furthermore, functional assays confirmed that rosuvastatin addition significantly enhanced T cell cytotoxicity against leukemia cells. Collectively, our findings suggest that adding rosuvastatin to venetoclax-azacitidine shows preliminary clinical activity and acceptable safety, possibly by reducing T-cell exhaustion, thus supporting further study of this triple regimen in older/unfit AML patients.

Cytokine Toxicity and Bacterial Dysbiosis in Chemotherapy- and/or Radiotherapy-Induced Oral Mucositis: Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Therapeutic Interventions. (PubMed, Life (Basel))
Anti-inflammatory agents, including pentoxifylline, atorvastatin, trans-caryophyllene, azilsartan, recombinant human IL-11, and low-level laser therapy have been shown in preclinical models to reduce cytokine levels and promote mucosal healing. Similarly, microbiome-targeted approaches, such as oral microbiota transplantation and multi-strain probiotic formulations, have demonstrated potential in restoring microbial balance and attenuating CRIOM severity, with current evidence including both preclinical and clinical studies. Overall, current findings highlight cytokine toxicity and dysbiosis as synergistic drivers of CRIOM and support anti-inflammatory and microbiome-modulating strategies as promising adjunctive approaches; however, further well-designed clinical studies are required to validate their efficacy and guide clinical translation.

Rosuvastatin Ameliorates the Initiation and Progression of Lung Adenocarcinoma via Facilitating PLK1 Inhibition. (PubMed, Front Biosci (Landmark Ed))
By suppressing PLK1 expression, rosuvastatin inhibited cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. These findings support the potential of rosuvastatin as a therapeutic agent for lung cancer, although further studies are needed to confirm its clinical utility.
