An alginate-based 3D cell culture model as a useful tool for melanoma drug testing. (PubMed, Biomed Pharmacother)
We treated the embedded cells or spheroids with different concentrations of either sorafenib or vemurafenib to investigate drug response. We showed that our 3D model was able to reproduce the findings of the in vivo studies, as we observed resistance to the drug in response to sorafenib treatment after 4 weeks. Taken together, the results of this study highlight the potential of user-friendly alginate 3D cell culture models for several aspects of melanoma drug development.

Design, synthesis, and in silico study of VEGFR-2 and HDAC dual acting quinazoline based molecules for anticancer evaluation. (PubMed, Bioorg Chem)
The new candidates showed considerable in vitro activity against MDA-MB-231 and HCT-116 cancer cell lines, in particular 4-hydroxyphenylbenzamide derivative of 3-ethylquinazolinone 7d, which revealed IC50 of 5.39 ± 0.08 μM and 4.11 ± 0.13 μM, in comparison with IC50 of 29.13 ± 2.28 μM and 33.50 ± 2.43 μM, obtained for the reference drug, sorafenib, respectively...Whereas, It was approximately 1.26 times more potent than vorinostat against HDAC-2, demonstrating an IC50 of 0.363 ± 0.013 μM...Meanwhile, the expression level of caspase-3 and the BAX/BCL-2 ratio were markedly elevated in HCT-116 cells treated with 7d. Finally, the presented data are reliable for developing dual VEGFR-2 and HDAC inhibitors as anticancer drugs and reveal lead molecules for such purpose.

Real-world patterns of maintenance therapy after allogeneic transplant in older adults with acute myeloid leukemia: A Medicare cohort study. (PubMed, J Geriatr Oncol)
In this first real-world analysis of post-alloHCT FLT3-TKI maintenance in older adults, utilization was low and adherence was modest, although not impaired by age alone. Gilteritinib demonstrated the highest adherence and appeared to have favorable tolerability. Strategies to improve adherence and prospective data in older adults are needed to maximize the benefits of FLT3-TKI maintenance in this population.

IGF2BP3 Knockdown Induces Ferroptosis by Inhibiting Autophagy-Mediated EMC2 Degradation in Ovarian Cancer. (PubMed, J Biochem Mol Toxicol)
IGF2BP3 knockdown increased ovarian cancer sensitivity to sorafenib. This study confirmed that IGF2BP3 knockdown inhibited ovarian cancer cell malignancy, promoted ferroptosis and inhibited autophagy-mediated EMC2 degradation, and verified that IGF2BP3 knockdown increased the sensitivity to sorafenib in ovarian cancer mice.

Therapeutic Targeting of miR-21 Restores SASH1 and Sensitizes HBV-HCC to Sorafenib. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
The miR-21/SASH1 axis play a critical role in sorafenib resistance in HBV-associated HCC, and targeting miR-21 may provide a promising therapeutic strategy to enhance treatment efficacy.

A Tumor-Agnostic, Topology-Informed Scoring Framework for Drug Repurposing: Application to CDK4/6 Inhibitor Resistance in HR+ Breast Cancer. (PubMed, Biomedicines)
To rigorously validate this framework and overcome the limitations of public bulk datasets, we combined cross-cohort statistical benchmarking with original RNA-sequencing data generated from a laboratory-derived palbociclib-resistant model (MCF7-PR)...In application, the framework identified sorafenib as a top-ranked candidate for reversing CDK4/6i resistance... This study presents TIHS as a mechanism-agnostic, experimentally validated bridge between resistance-state transcriptomes and clinical decision-making. By coupling computational prioritization with in vitro functional verification, we demonstrate that targeting topology-defined hubs is a viable strategy for overcoming therapy resistance.

Computational Repurposing and Experimental Validation of YBX1 Inhibitors in Hepatocellular Carcinoma. (PubMed, Biomedicines)
Further literature review and feasibility assessment narrowed the list to six candidates: malonaldehyde, mercaptoethanol, glycine, para-chlorophenol, methoxyamine, and ethanolamine. These findings support YBX1 as a promising therapeutic target in hepatocellular carcinoma and demonstrate the utility of drug repurposing to rapidly identify candidate inhibitors. Targeting YBX1 may provide a viable strategy for enhancing treatment efficacy and overcoming sorafenib resistance in advanced HCC.

CAPRIN1-mediated sequestration of NCOA4 mRNA into stress granules drives sorafenib resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, Oncogene)
Genetic disruption of CAPRIN1 restores NCOA4 expression and resensitizes resistant tumors to sorafenib. Our work establishes SG activity as a prognostic biomarker and reveals a druggable SG-ferroptosis axis, offering novel strategies to overcome therapy resistance in HCC.

Metabolomic Profiling of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction and Cardiovascular Toxicity. (PubMed, Metabolites)
Metabolomic analyses of various TKIs identified convergent signatures along three interconnected axes: (1) mitochondrial bioenergetic dysfunction characterized by impaired long-chain fatty acid oxidation and adenylate depletion; (2) disruption of endothelial nitric oxide signaling with redox imbalance, including increased nitrotyrosine, Nox activation, and eNOS uncoupling; and (3) an inflammatory metabolic profile marked by elevated branched-chain and aromatic amino acids, creatine, and osmolytes. Rodent models of sunitinib and sorafenib replicate these signatures and demonstrate histological injury, contractile dysfunction, and fibrosis. Preclinical intervention data, particularly restoration of myocardial carnitine, AMPK signaling, and fatty acid oxidation by L-carnitine, provide proof of concept for metabolomics-guided cardioprotection. Metabolomics can identify mechanistic biomarkers that facilitate the early detection, risk stratification, and targeted prevention of TKI-induced cardiovascular injury. Translation into precision cardio-oncology requires prospective validation, standardized assays, and biomarker-driven interventional trials.

Integrating Transcriptomics and 3D Spheroid Models Reveals Microenvironment-Dependent Purinergic Modulation in Hepatocellular Carcinoma. (PubMed, Metabolites)
We identified a purinergic prognostic signature in HCC and demonstrated that the combination therapy of sorafenib and doxazosin targets the adenosine pathway and specific receptors. We show that the stromal microenvironment sustains CD73 protein expression even under transcriptional inhibition, highlighting the critical role of 3D co-culture models in deciphering therapeutic resistance mechanisms.
