Synergistic anticancer efficacy of polydatin and sorafenib against the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line via inhibiting of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and reducing resistance to treatment. (PubMed, Biochem Biophys Res Commun)
This was accompanied by reduced expression of AKT1 and ABCB1 genes, reinforcing the anticancer efficacy of PD/SOF combination therapy. In conclusion, the findings suggest that PD/SOF could serve as a promising anticancer treatment strategy, warranting further investigation for potential clinical applications and mechanistic studies in vivo.

GSTA1/CTNNB1 axis facilitates sorafenib resistance via suppressing ferroptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, Pharmacol Res)
The combined use of GSTA1 and CTNNB1 inhibitors demonstrated synergistic anti-tumour effects through the induction of ferroptosis both in vitro and in vivo. Our findings reveal a novel regulatory role of the GSTA1/CTNNB1 axis in ferroptosis, suggesting that targeting GSTA1 and CTNNB1 could be a promising strategy to circumvent sorafenib resistance in HCC.

The clinical success of KRASG12C inhibitors (G12Ci) including AMG510 and MRTX849 is limited by the eventual development of acquired resistance...We found the ferroptosis inducers including sorafenib and lapatinib stood out with an obvious growth inhibition in the G12Ci resistant cells...Ferroptosis induced by sulfasalazine (SAS) achieved obvious inhibition on the tumor growth of xenografts derived from AMG510-resistant KRASG12C-mutant cells. Collectively, our results suggest a novel therapeutic strategy to treat patients bearing G12Ci resistant cancers with ferroptosis inducers.

Results of cytotoxic activity against UO-31 cells showed that pyrazolopyrimidines 19 and 31 were found to be more cytotoxic than sorafenib (SOR)...Furthermore, compounds 19 and 31 were found to be effective in arresting the cell cycle throughout the accumulation of the cells at G2/M phase. Finally, the tested compounds decreased the TNF concentration as well as increased the expression of tumor suppressor gene p53, Bax/BCL-2 ratio and caspase 3/7.

The mode of action of sorafenib in MDA-MB-231 breast carcinoma cells involves components of apoptotic, necroptotic and autophagy-dependent cell death pathways. (PubMed, Exp Cell Res)
A marked reduction in the intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence of tubulin, a concentration-dependent elevation of anilinonaphthalene sulfonate-tubulin complex fluorescence, electron micrographs of deformed in vitro-assembled microtubules, and disrupted and hyper-stabilized cellular microtubules evinced the ability of SF to target tubulin and disrupt cellular microtubules at its IC50 for cell viability. Molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulations positioned the drug between the α and β subunits of tubulin with considerable stability (ΔGbind, -31.43 kcal/mol), suggesting that drug-induced perturbation of tubulin could contribute to this mode of cell death.

Sorafenib (SRF) is recognized as the primary treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), yet the emergence of SRF resistance in many HCC patients results in unfavorable outcomes. The effectiveness of this combination therapy is affected by the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) and the iron chelator deferoxamine (DFO). The combination treatment of FVIO-mediated MH and SRF offers a strategy for HCC treatment by promoting accelerated ferroptosis, presenting a different perspective for the development of ferroptosis-based anticancer therapies.

Importantly, MCB1 can mediate sorafenib/lenvatinib resistance by downregulating two essential drug targets fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3) expression in a proteasome-dependent manner. Furthermore, treatment of targeted drugs-resistant HCC with adeno-associated virus (AAV) targeting MCB1 or a proteasome inhibitor restores targeted drug response, suggesting their clinical significance in HCC combinational therapy. In conclusion, these findings demonstrate that MCB1 could act as a driver for HCC initiation, a contributor to drug resistance, and a biomarker for individualized HCC therapy.
