JQ-1

Furthermore, our findings show that the dual-targeting agents JQ-1 and CX-6258-focused on FOSL1/AP-1 and PIM kinases, respectively-effectively suppress both the progenitor properties and the growth of mouse and human DNPC surrogates in vitro and in vivo. Thus, early eradication of castration-tolerant Club-like cells presents a promising therapeutic strategy to mitigate prostate cancer progression toward CRPC.

Using CD4 + T-cells from PWH on ART, there was a significant decrease in HIV DNA following administration of wortmannin (a pan-PI3K inhibitor), venetoclax (a Bcl2 inhibitor) and JQ1 (an LRA) when administered alone. Overall, reduction in the HIV reservoir by LRAs could be further enhanced in the presence of pro-apoptotic drugs, but the magnitude of the effect was modest, was dependent on the in vitro model used and for PI3K inhibitors, depended on the potency of latency reversal. These results are consistent with minimal additional efficacy in reservoir reduction when combining currently available LRAs and either PI3K inhibitors or venetoclax.

In biochemical assays, H5 shows IC50 = 7.9 ± 0.5 nM, outperforming JQ-1 (IC50 = 33.0 ± 1.0 nM) by 4-fold...In the HCT-116 xenograft mouse model, oral administration of H5 suppressed tumor growth (TGI = 82 % at 50 mg/kg) and downregulated the BRD4-driven oncoproteins c-MYC and BCL-2. Collectively, H5 emerges as a highly promising BRD4-targeted candidate for colorectal cancer treatment.

To investigate whether MDM2 can serve as tumor-specific PROTAC E3 in certain setting, we analyzed the benchmark compound A1874 (JQ1-Idasanutlin chimera targeting BRD4) under various conditions that affect MDM2 expression and activity. Importantly, A1874 showed on average ~12-fold higher potency in tumor cells with MDM2 amplification compared to non-amplified cells, correlating with enhanced cytotoxicity. The results suggest that tumors with MDM2 amplification or overexpression can be selectively targeted using PROTAC approach.

Moreover, pharmacogenomic analyses revealed that CHOP upregulation correlates with increased sensitivity to several agents, and molecular docking highlighted Irinotecan and JQ1 as potential synergistic partners with TCPC. Collectively, this work demonstrates that nanomedicine guided by omics can couple organelle-specific delivery with ER-stress amplification to achieve potent antitumor efficacy. Overall, this work establishes an omics-guided materials strategy that integrates organelle-targeted delivery with ER-stress amplification for effective melanoma therapy.

To investigate the biological effects of BET proteins, two small-molecule inhibitors, JQ1 and I-BET762, were used to assess their impact on UF cell behavior and transcriptomic profiles. Collectively, these results support that BET proteins play a pivotal role in regulating key signaling pathways and cellular processes in UFs. Targeting BET proteins may therefore represent a promising non-hormonal therapeutic strategy for UF treatment.

In vivo, JQ1-icluster suppresses tumor growth with high specificity and retention. This work presents a promising multi-responsive nanoplatform capable of precise delivery and deep penetration.

Current cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and targeted therapies like JQ1, frequently come with side effects and toxicity, which highlights the need for safer alternatives...For Calyxins A, the binding free energy was -72.53 kcal/mol with a docking score of -10.132 kcal/mol, while for Deoxycalyxin A, it was -73.03 kcal/mol with a docking score of -10.162 kcal/mol. Our research indicates that these natural compounds, Calyxins C, Calyxins A, and Deoxyocalyxin A, exhibit higher stability and favorable interaction profiles, which could be effective and less toxic drug leads for leukemia treatment, paving the way for future experimental validation and clinical studies.

Bioinformatic analysis revealed that SRD5A1, a critical enzyme in androgen metabolism, is downregulated by the BRD4 inhibitor JQ1. This finding was validated using I-BET151, another BRD4 inhibitor, which also suppressed SRD5A1 expression in PCa cell lines. Furthermore, treatment with dutasteride (Duta), an SRD5A family inhibitor, significantly reduced both cell proliferation and invasion...Co-administration of BRD4 and SRD5A1 inhibitors yielded a more pronounced suppression of AR expression. These findings highlight the pivotal role of SRD5A1 in PCa progression and suggest that combinatorial inhibition of BRD4 and SRD5A1 may provide a more effective strategy for attenuating AR expression and halting disease development.

The combination of chemotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade therapy shows great potential in tumor treatment, but their integration remains a great challenge. Meanwhile‌, overexpression of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is suppressed by JQ1, thereby reversing PD-L1-mediated immune resistance to synergistically promote adaptive antitumor immune response. This hypoxia-sensitive versatile nanoplatform provides an elegant paradigm for precise tumor therapy.

Among them, TRIB2 was distinguished by its SE recurrence, tumour overexpression, prognostic value and JQ-1 suppression. The SEFG signature facilitates simultaneous prediction of prognosis and assessment of the immune microenvironment, providing a potential tool for colon cancer management.

JQ1 treatment significantly repressed these tumor-specific pathways, suggesting a therapeutic potential for targeting SE-driven transcription in HPV+ HNSCC. This study underscores the critical role of SEs in epigenetic and transcriptional dysregulation in HPV+ HNSCC, revealing therapeutic targets and providing a framework for future mechanistic studies in this area.
