CSTF2 Supports Hypoxia Tolerance in Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Enabling m6A Modification Evasion of PGK1 to Enhance Glycolysis. (PubMed, Cancer Res)
Masitinib counteracted PGK1 upregulation by CSTF2 and suppressed the growth of HCC xenograft and patient-derived organoid models. In conclusion, this study revealed a function of CSTF2 in supporting HCC survival under hypoxia conditions through m6A modification evasion and metabolic reprogramming, indicating inhibiting CSTF2 may overcome hypoxia tolerance in HCC.

An integrated bioinformatics approach to early diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutics of non-small-cell lung cancer. (PubMed, J Biomol Struct Dyn)
Finally, 4 KGs-guided repositioning candidate drugs (ZSTK474, GSK2126458, Masitinib, and Trametinib) were proposed. The stability of three top-ranked drug-target interactions (CAV1 vs. ZSTK474, CAV1 vs. GSK2126458, and ASPM vs. Trametinib) were investigated by computing their binding free energies for 140 ns MD-simulation based on MM-PBSA approach. Therefore, the findings of this computational study may be useful for early prognosis, diagnosis and therapies of NSCLC.

Identification of Hub of the Hub-Genes From Different Individual Studies for Early Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Therapies of Breast Cancer. (PubMed, Bioinform Biol Insights)
Finally, we suggested hHubGs-guided top-ranked 10 candidate drug molecules (SORAFENIB, AMG-900, CHEMBL1765740, ENTRECTINIB, MK-6592, YM201636, masitinib, GSK2126458, TG-02, and PAZOPANIB) by molecular docking analysis for the treatment against BC. The literature review also supported our findings much more for BC compared with the results of individual studies. Therefore, the findings of this study may be useful resources for early diagnosis, prognosis, and therapies of BC.

Second era of molecular-targeted cancer therapies in dogs. (PubMed, J Vet Med Sci)
In veterinary medicine, the world's first molecular-targeted drug for animals, masitinib, was approved in 2008, followed by the multikinase inhibitor toceranib in 2009...Although there has been no progress in the development and commercialization of new molecular-targeted drugs for the treatment of cancer since the success of toceranib, several clinical trials have recently reported the administration of novel agents in the research stage to dogs with tumors. This review provides an overview of molecular-targeted drugs for canine tumors, particularly transitional cell carcinomas, and presents some of our recent data.

Unraveling Colorectal Cancer and Pan-cancer Immune Heterogeneity and Synthetic Therapy Response Using Cuproptosis and Hypoxia Regulators by Multi-omic Analysis and Experimental Validation. (PubMed, Int J Biol Sci)
Cell-based assays indicated that masitinib and simvastatin had specific effects on CHS1 and CHS3, respectively. A user-friendly website based on the classifier was developed (https://fan-app.shinyapps.io/chs_classifier/) for accessibility. Overall, the classifier based on cuproptosis and hypoxia was applicable to most pan-cancers and could aid in personalized cancer therapy.

Efficacy of post-first-line agents for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors following imatinib failure: A network meta-analysis. (PubMed, Cancer Med)
The active agents in our analysis as post-first-line therapies are able to provide superior clinical efficacy, with improved PFS rate and OS rate at certain time points, as well as absolute values of PFS and OS for advanced GIST. Ripretinib might be the optimal recommendation as a post-first-line treatment for advanced GIST following imatinib failure.

From a drug repositioning to a structure-based drug design approach to tackle acute lymphoblastic leukemia. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
Our lead compound, OR0642, is more than 1000 times more potent than its initial parent compound, masitinib, previously identified from a drug repositioning approach. OR0642 in combination with a physiological inhibitor of the de novo pathway doubled the survival rate in a human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia patient-derived xenograft mouse model, demonstrating the proof-of-concept of this drug design strategy.

Bioinformatics and network-based screening and discovery of potential molecular targets and small molecular drugs for breast cancer. (PubMed, Front Pharmacol)
Finally, we proposed 16 candidate repurposing drugs YM201636, masitinib, SB590885, GSK1070916, GSK2126458, ZSTK474, dasatinib, fedratinib, dabrafenib, methotrexate, trametinib, tubastatin A, BIX02189, CP466722, afatinib, and belinostat for BC through molecular docking analysis. Using BC cell lines, we validated that masitinib inhibits the mTOR signaling pathway and induces apoptotic cell death. Therefore, the proposed results might play an effective role in the treatment of BC patients.

C-kit inhibitor masitinib induces reactive oxygen species-dependent apoptosis in c-kit-negative HepG2 cells. (PubMed, Eur J Pharmacol)
Thus, we demonstrated that the anticancer effects of masitinib are not due to its targeting c-kit, but rather to its targeting the redox balance via the JNK pathway in HepG2 cells. These results suggest that masitinib has the potential to provide a robust antitumor effect in tumor lesions and could also be applied to a broad range of other anticancer therapies.

High expression of HIST1H1E was resistant to trametinib, selumetinib, RDEA119, docetaxel and 17-AAG, High expression of UBE2C was resistant to masitinib, and Low expression of ERO1B made the EC more sensitive to FK866. We constructed an EC risk score model composed of 8 DEGs and gene resistance analysis, which can provide reference for prognosis prediction, diagnosis and treatment of the EC patients.

Resistance to PI3κδ inhibitors in marginal zone lymphoma can be reverted by targeting the IL-6/PDGFRA axis. (PubMed, Haematologica)
VL51 developed resistance to idelalisib, copanlisib, duvelisib, and umbralisib...The use of the IL-6R blocking antibody tocilizumab, the STAT3 inhibitor stattic, the LIN28 inhibitor LIN1632, the PDGFR inhibitor masitinib and the anti-CD19 antibody drug conjugate loncastuximab tesirine were active compounds in the resistant cells as single agents and/or in combination with PI3K//inhibition. Findings were validated on additional in vitro lymphoma models and on clinical specimens. A novel model of resistance obtained from splenic MZL allowed the identification of therapeutic approaches able to improve the anti-tumor activity of PI3Kttinhibitors in B-cell lymphoid tumors.

Evaluation of the therapeutic potential of masitinib and expression of its specific targets c-Kit, PDGFR-α, PDGFR-β, and Lyn in canine prostate cancer cell lines. (PubMed, Vet Comp Oncol)
Masitinib exposure increased apoptosis, while the cell counts and cell viability decreased in a dose- and application interval-dependent manner, with increased impact in the 12-h double-dose regimen. These in vitro effects of masitinib in canine prostate cancer and associated metastasis support further in vivo research and modifications of the clinical treatment protocol in future studies.

[VIRTUAL] Nfkbiz 3′ UTR Mutations Confer Selective Growth Advantage and Affect Drug Response in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (ASH 2020)
Mutant cell lines had significantly higher IC50 compared to WT for the drugs Ibrutinib, Idelalisib and Masitinib, but not Bortezomib, suggesting that NKFBIZ UTR mutations confer resistance to drugs specifically targeting the NF-κB pathway. This work directly establishes a role for NFKBIZ amplifications and 3′ UTR mutations in driving ABC DLBCL through NF-κB signaling. We demonstrate that these mutations can cause over-expression of NFKBIZ and provide a selective growth advantage to tumor cells. We also identified novel targets of NFKBIZ including HCK and PD-L1, both of which have implications as therapeutic targets in this subset of DLBCLs.
