RRx-001 inhibits G6PD to deplete NADPH and trigger disulfidptosis coupled with DAMP-mediated immunogenic cell death in hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, Cell Death Discov)
In vivo, RRx-001 significantly inhibits tumor growth, enhances T-cell infiltration, promotes M1 macrophage polarization, downregulates PD-L1 expression, and strengthens anti-tumor immunity through T cell-related pathways. With both metabolic and immunomodulatory effects, RRx-001 provides a basis for novel HCC therapies, and future research could explore its synergistic effects with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Dimethyl fumarate combined with cisplatin at subcytotoxic doses sensitizes cervical cancer toward ferroptosis and apoptosis through GSH restriction and p53 (re)activation. (PubMed, Mol Oncol)
We found a p53-mediated downregulation of the Solute Carrier Family 7 Member 11 (SLC7A11)/Cystine/Glutamate Transporter (xCT) expression and glutathione levels. Our results suggest that combined administration of DMF and cisplatin, by targeting the dependency of cervical cancer cells on glutathione and (re)activating p53, represents a promising anticancer therapeutic strategy.

4‑Acetylantrocamol LT3 suppresses colorectal cancer growth and metastasis via PI3K/AKT and MAPK pathway modulation. (PubMed, Int J Mol Med)
Molecular docking confirmed that LT4 stably occupied the ATP‑binding pocket of PI3Kγ with a binding energy comparable to wortmannin and a conformation similar to antroquinonol. In conclusion, to the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to comprehensively demonstrate the multi‑target anti‑CRC effects of LT4, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent, especially in KRAS‑mutant CRC.

Small molecule screening identifies cytotoxic endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation inhibitors in multiple myeloma. (PubMed, Cell Death Dis)
Notably, ERAD inhibition by RTA408 is cytotoxic to primary malignant plasma cells, including those resistant to proteasome inhibitors, and demonstrates in vivo anti-myeloma activity. Our findings establish a novel ERAD inhibitor, which is a valuable tool to dissect ERAD biology, and provide pre-clinical evidence for RTA408 as a therapeutic agent in MM.

Dimethyl fumarate and mitochondrial physiology: implications for neurological disorders. (PubMed, Front Pharmacol)
In conclusion, DMF exerts multifaceted and cell type-specific actions on mitochondria. Understanding these mechanisms may guide optimized therapeutic strategies and the identification of biomarkers for precision use in neurological disorders.

Aflatoxin and Liver Cancer in China: The Evolving Research Landscape. (PubMed, Toxins (Basel))
Chemoprevention and dietary interception studies (e.g., oltipraz, chlorophyllin, and broccoli sprout beverages) showed that enhancing detoxication pathways can lower biomarker burdens in exposed populations...Nevertheless, regional heterogeneity, multi-mycotoxin co-exposure, and climate variability are expected to increase exposure volatility and complicate surveillance. Here, we translate and synthesize the Chinese evidence base, highlight biomarker-enabled monitoring and policy evaluation, and propose an integrated "5+1" prevention framework spanning source control, process detoxification, tiered governance, short-course interception, precision follow-up of high-risk individuals, and climate-sensitive early warning along the climate-agriculture-storage-processing-population (CAT-CSPP) chain.
