PTGES3 proteolysis using the liposomal peptide-PROTAC approach. (PubMed, Biol Direct)
Our findings revealed that the highly selective PTGES3 proteolysis is a potential therapeutic strategy for HCC, and PTGES3 degraders PTGES3-PROTACs can be developed as safe and effective drugs for HCC treatment.

Developing MYC Degraders Bearing the Von Hippel-Lindau Ligand to Target the "Undruggable" MYC. (PubMed, ACS Pharmacol Transl Sci)
The molecules are based on connecting a known MYC binder to a VHL ligand or pomalidomide to induce MYC degradation in various cancer cells known to express MYC...Encouraging results presented herein suggest that the presented analogs may serve as prototype structures of future therapeutic agents for the treatment of MYC-dependent tumors. MYC protein degraders can well complement the more established inhibition approaches that have been presented in the past (e.g., disruption of the MYC-MAX complex formation by small-molecule inhibitors).

A bibliometric analysis of immunotherapy for atherosclerosis: trends and hotspots prediction. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
In addition, Nilsson J published the highest number of papers; Ridker PM and his article "Anti-inflammatory Therapy with Canakinumab for Atherosclerotic Disease" have played prominent roles...It not only assists researchers in grasping the current hotspots in this field but also reveals potential directions for future investigation. Moreover, future studies can optimize immunotherapy strategies based on hotspot predictions to decelerate the progression of atherosclerosis.

CHIP away at the marrow-clot connection: inflammation, clonal hematopoiesis, and thromboembolic disease. (PubMed, Blood Adv)
However, canakinumab showed promise in a post-hoc analyses of patients with TET2-mutated CHIP, and other anti-inflammasome agents are actively under development or evaluation. In this review, we provide an overview of CHIP as a mediator of thromboembolic diseases and discuss emerging therapeutics aimed at intervening on this thrombo-inflammatory nexus.

The IL-1β inhibitor canakinumab in previously treated lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes: a phase 2 clinical trial. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
Sequential post-hoc prospective single-cell RNA sequencing analyses of HSPCs and bone marrow mononuclear cells at different time points during therapy showed that canakinumab's on-target effects in hematopoietic populations expressing the IL-1β receptor decreased the TNF-mediated inflammatory signaling pathway but rescued ineffective erythropoiesis only in the context of lower genetic complexity. This study demonstrates that better stratification strategies could target lower-risk MDS patients more effectively.

Diacerein-loaded surface modified iron oxide microparticles (SMIOMPs): an emerging magnetic system for management of osteoarthritis via intra-articular injection. (PubMed, Front Bioeng Biotechnol)
Plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor α and Interleukin-1 beta, as well as knee diameter, were significantly reduced in the treated groups compared to the untreated ones. Overall, the results suggest that the proposed DCN-loaded SMIOMPs represent a promising advancement in the arena of cartilage regeneration.

Spartalizumab in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy with or without canakinumab in patients with PD-L1-unselected, metastatic NSCLC. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
The combination of spartalizumab and PDC, with or without canakinumab, was well tolerated across treatment groups. The antitumor activity across treatment groups was comparable with that of pembrolizumab and pemetrexed combination. Canakinumab did not appear to improve the antitumor activity when combined with spartalizumab, pemetrexed and cisplatin.

Moreover, DIA reduced TNF-α and caspase-3 protein expression. DIA attenuated AMD-induced pulmonary fibrosis via alleviating the TGF1/α-SMA/Smad3 pathway, reducing STAT-3 activation, and combating oxidative stress and inflammation in addition to promoting autophagy and abrogating apoptosis.

Structure-Activity Relationship of Potent, Selective, and Orally Bioavailable Molecular Glue Degraders of CK1α. (PubMed, ACS Med Chem Lett)
The original molecular glue degraders (thalidomide, lenalidomide, and pomalidomide) are known to bind to cereblon (CRBN) and alter its surface to induce recruitment, ubiquitination, and degradation of therapeutically valuable neosubstrates (IKZF1, IKZF3, and CK1α). Herein, we describe the medicinal chemistry efforts that resulted in the discovery of SJ3149 as well as other potent and selective CK1α degraders. We report kinetic profiling and parameters of CK1α degradation, ternary complex, antiproliferative effects, in vitro ADME data, and in vivo pharmacokinetic studies with demonstrated oral bioavailability.

Adult-onset Still's disease masquerading as acute coronary syndrome: a case report and review of the literature. (PubMed, J Med Case Rep)
Adult-onset Still's disease should be considered in the differential diagnoses of fever of undetermined origin. Early identification and initiation of treatment are critical to faster recovery and prevention of progression to severe complications. Steroids remain the standard first-line therapy and should be followed by disease-modifying steroid sparing drugs. The social determinants of health may preclude their timely initiation and should alert providers of proactive ways to avoid further delays.

Pomalidomide in patients with multiple myeloma: potential impact on the reconstitution of a functional T-cell immunity. (PubMed, Immunol Res)
These observations imply that Pomalidomide treatment influences the T-cell repertoire, particularly in the CD4 + subpopulation during the later stages of treatment, raising speculation about the potential involvement of these lymphocyte expansions in mechanisms related to antitumor immunity.

Clinical response and pathway-specific correlates following TIGIT-LAG3 blockade in myeloma: the MyCheckpoint randomized clinical trial. (PubMed, Nat Cancer)
Persons with myeloma were randomized to receive an anti-TIGIT (T cell immunoreceptor) or anti-LAG3 (lymphocyte activation gene) antibody followed by combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone ( NCT04150965 ). Anti-TIGIT responders had higher CD226 expression, natural killer cell activation and lower CD112 expression. These data demonstrate the clinical activity of TIGIT-LAG3 blockade and identify pathway-specific response correlates in myeloma.
