Pseudo-Pseudo Meigs' Syndrome in a 40-Year-Old Woman Without a Prior Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Diagnosis. (PubMed, Cureus)
The patient was treated with methylprednisolone and Plaquenil, with careful monitoring for potential complications...The unusual initial presentation underscores the importance of considering PPMS in differential diagnoses to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary invasive procedures. Early recognition and appropriate management are essential for optimizing patient outcomes in this rare and complex syndrome.

Inhibition of RhoA-mediated secretory autophagy in megakaryocytes mitigates myelofibrosis in mice. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Finally, disease hallmarks in MPL W515L -transplanted mice were attenuated upon treatment with the autophagy inhibitor hydroxychloroquine or the ROCK inhibitor Y27632, either as monotherapy or in combination with the JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib. Overall, our data indicate that aberrant cytokine secretion is dependent on secretory autophagy downstream of RhoA, targeting of which represents a novel therapeutic avenue in the treatment of myelofibrosis. TGFβ1 is released from megakaryocytes via RhoA-mediated secretory autophagy, and targeting this process can alleviate fibrosis progression in a preclinical mouse model of myelofibrosis.

Unveiling the mechanism of sericin and hydroxychloroquine in suppressing lung oxidative impairment and early carcinogenesis in diethylnitrosamine-induced mice by modulating PI3K/Akt/Nrf2/NF-κB signaling pathway. (PubMed, Biomed Pharmacother)
Our findings emphasized that the combinatorial therapy of sericin and HQ could orchestrate the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2/NF-κB signaling pathway in the lungs, counteracting oxidative stress, inflammation, and uncontrolled cellular proliferation and sustaining lung structures. Furthermore, they could serve as anticancer agents, hindering lung cancer progression.

Targeting autophagy in HCC treatment: exploiting the CD147 internalization pathway. (PubMed, Cell Commun Signal)
This study reveals that CD147 internalization and CD147-G3BP1 complex translocation to lysosomes induce cytoprotective autophagy, reducing chemotherapy sensitivity by suppressing mTOR activity. It is also shown that chemotherapy drugs combined with autophagy inhibitors can improve the therapeutic effect of cancer, providing new insights into potential targeted therapeutic approaches in treating HCC.

Overcoming multi-drug resistance in SCLC: a synergistic approach with venetoclax and hydroxychloroquine targeting the lncRNA LYPLAL1-DT/BCL2/BECN1 pathway. (PubMed, Mol Cancer)
Our findings demonstrate that upregulation of LYPLAL1-DT sequesters apoptosis through the LYPLAL1-DT/miR-204-5p/BCL2 axis and promotes autophagy by facilitating the assembly of the BECN1/PtdIns3K complex, thereby mediating multi-drug resistance of SCLC. The triple combination of venetoclax, HCQ, in conjunction with cDDP, VP-16 or PTX overcomes refractory SCLC, shedding light on a potential therapeutic target for combating SCLC chemoresistance.

Paricalcitol improves survival in tumor-permissive cancer-associated fibroblast subtype of pancreatic cancers (AACRPanCa 2024)
We evaluated the association of treatment outcomes in a Phase 2 trial of neoadjuvant nab-paclitaxel (A), gemcitabine (G), cisplatin (C), and paricalcitol (P) (NCT03138720) and a Phase 2 trial of A+G+C+hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) (NCT04669197) in patients with non-metastatic PDAC. In the study of A+G+C+P, there was a disparity in OS between patients with basal-like vs. classical tumors, in contrast to the interim results of the COMPASS and PASS-01 trials, where patients with basal-like tumors receiving A+G had similar OS compared to patients with classical tumors. Compared to prior analysis, there was no difference in OS for patients with permCAF tumors vs.

Drug induced lupus associated with Trastuzumab emtansine in a patient with metastatic breast cancer. (PubMed, J Oncol Pharm Pract)
Drug-induced lupus is a clinical syndrome that shares similar features with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The majority of patients present with symptoms such as arthralgia and myalgia. Hydralazine and procainamide are high-risk drugs for drug-induced lupus. Symptoms usually develop after months or years of use, but may also develop suddenly. Our patient also received TDM-1 treatment for 18 months. We present a case of TDM-1-associated drug-induced lupus in a patient with metastatic breast cancer. This is the first case of TDM-1-related drug-induced lupus reported in the literature.

Drug response-based precision therapeutic selection for tamoxifen-resistant triple-positive breast cancer. (PubMed, J Proteomics)
Seven drugs were shortlisted for their time-dependent (10-12 days) cytotoxic effect and further narrowed to three effective drugs (e.g., cisplatin, doxorubicin, and hydroxychloroquine). We identified multiple druggable targets and, using ex-vivo methods narrowed multiple drugs to disease-condition-specific therapeutics. We consider that our investigation successfully interconnected the expression data with the functional disease-specific therapeutic investigation and selected drugs can be used for effective resistant treatment with higher therapeutic response.

PAFerroptosis Combined with Metabolic Disturbance of Mito by p52-ZER6 for Enhanced Cancer Immunotherapy induced by Nano-Bacilliform-Enzyme. (PubMed, Adv Healthc Mater)
Simultaneously, in order to refrain from mitophagy, hydroxychloroquine is mixed with NBE to form a combo with strength pyroptosis. As a result, NBE/combo improves the PAFerroptosis obviously by activation of CD8+T cells and inactivation of MDSC cells, up-regulating expression of caspase-3 signal pathway, intercepting DHODH pathway to arrive excellent antitumor effect (93%). Therefore, this study establishes a rational nanoenzyme for mitochondrial dysfunction without mitophagy for effective antitumor therapy.

An "Iron-phagy" nanoparticle inducing irreversible mitochondrial damages for antitumor therapy. (PubMed, J Control Release)
After internalization and lysosomal escape, the nanoparticle disassembles in response to the reactive oxygen species (ROS), subsequently releasing the iron chelator Dp44mT and autophagy-inhibitory drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)...Consequentially, Dp44mT@HTH induces irreversible mitochondrial impairments, in this respect creating a substantial toxic stack state that induces apoptosis and cell death. Initiating from the perspective of endogenous substances, this strategy illuminates the promise of iron depletion therapy via irreversible mitochondrial damage induction for anticancer treatment.
