Research progress of paclitaxel nanodrug delivery system in the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer. (PubMed, Mater Today Bio)
These systems have good prospects in improving the bioavailability of PTX, enhancing tumor targeting, reducing toxicity, controlling drug release, and reverse tumor multidrug resistance (MDR). This review provides valuable insights into the clinical development and application of PTX-targeted NDDS in the treatment of TNBC.

FUNDC1 predicts Poor Prognosis and promotes Progression and Chemoresistance in Endometrial Carcinoma. (PubMed, J Cancer)
Knockdown of FUNDC1 using shRNA in HEC-1B and Ishikawa EC cells inhibited proliferation, migration and invasion, accompanied by enhanced chemotherapeutic susceptibility to carboplatin and paclitaxel. Accordingly, FUNDC1 could be a prospective prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target for EC.

STT3-mediated aberrant N-glycosylation of CD24 inhibits paclitaxel sensitivity in triple-negative breast cancer. (PubMed, Acta Pharmacol Sin)
Knockout of the endogenous STT3 isoform in TNBC cells partially reduced the glycosylation status of CD24. Our results demonstrate the critical role of N-glycosylation of CD24 in weakening drug sensitivity by inhibiting ferroptosis, highlighting new insights that targeting N-glycosylation of CD24 has great potential to promote chemotherapy sensitivity and efficacy.

Olaparib as Treatment Versus Nonplatinum Chemotherapy in Patients With Platinum-Sensitive Relapsed Ovarian Cancer: Phase III SOLO3 Study Final Overall Survival Results. (PubMed, J Clin Oncol)
Two hundred sixty-six patients were randomly assigned 2:1 to olaparib tablets (300 mg twice daily; n = 178) or physician's choice of single-agent nonplatinum chemotherapy (pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, paclitaxel, gemcitabine, or topotecan; n = 88). BRCA reversion mutations might have contributed to this finding. No patient randomly assigned to olaparib with a BRCA reversion mutation detected at baseline (6 of 170 [3.5%]) achieved an objective tumor response.

Enhancing efficacy of the MEK inhibitor trametinib with paclitaxel in KRAS-mutated colorectal cancer. (PubMed, Ther Adv Med Oncol)
Finally, the combination of trametinib with paclitaxel exhibited significant inhibition of tumor growth in several KRAS-mutant patient-derived xenograft mouse models. Our data provide evidence supporting clinical trials of trametinib with paclitaxel as a novel therapeutic option for patients with KRAS-mutated, metastatic CRC.

Effective Targeting of Colorectal Cancer Stem Cells by Inducing Differentiation Mediated by Low-Dose Vitamin C via β-Catenin Retention in the Cell Membrane. (PubMed, J Cell Biochem)
Importantly, the epithelial phenotype induced by low-dose Vit C rendered CR-CSCs sensitive to conventional treatments, enhancing chemosensitivity to Cisplatin, Paclitaxel, and 5-Fluorouracil by 60%-90%. These findings suggest that low dose Vit C could serve as an adjuvant to conventional therapeutic strategies for targeting advanced colorectal cancer by sensitizing CR-CSCs to chemotherapy and potentially reducing tumor recurrence.

Comprehensive genomic profiling of primary bladder mucinous adenocarcinoma, a rare genitourinary cancer: A case report. (PubMed, Urol Case Rep)
She underwent treatment with paclitaxel-ifosfamide-cisplatin (TIP). After two cycles of TIP therapy, FoundationOne CDx, a comprehensive genomic profiling test, was performed, revealing variants in ATM, SMAD4, BRD4, and NOTCH3. These genomic profiling test results may lead to the development of novel therapeutic agents for primary bladder mucinous adenocarcinoma.

Paclitaxel triggers molecular and cellular changes in the choroid plexus. (PubMed, Front Pain Res (Lausanne))
Our findings determined that paclitaxel influences the choroid plexus through both direct and indirect mechanisms, resulting in inflammatory profile alterations. Given the pivotal role of the choroid plexus in brain homeostasis, a compromised choroid plexus following chemotherapy may facilitate the spread of peripheral inflammation into the brain, consequently exacerbating the development of neuropathic pain.

Gain-of-Function Chromatin Remodeling Activity of Oncogenic FOXL2-C134W Reprograms Glucocorticoid Receptor Occupancy to Drive Granulosa Cell Tumors. (PubMed, Cancer Res)
Combinatorial drug-drug interaction experiments demonstrated that dexamethasone antagonizes the potency of paclitaxel, a chemotherapy agent frequently used in the treatment of AGCT. Thus, gain-of-function pioneering activity contributes to the oncogenic mechanism of FOXL2-C134W and creates a potentially targetable synergy with glucocorticoid signaling.

PFOS and Its Commercial Alternative, 6:2 Cl-PFESA, Induce Multidrug Resistance in Pancreatic Cancer. (PubMed, Environ Sci Technol)
Here, we employed drug-sensitivity assays, including IC50 calculations, in vitro and in vivo models with various chemotherapeutics, and paclitaxel (PTX) as a representative agent, combined with transcriptomic/proteomic sequencing and clinical prognostic analysis, to identify MDR-related genes and validate their relevance, with the objective of establishing the correlation between PFOS/6:2 Cl-PFESA exposure and MDR in PC at molecular, cellular, and animal model levels...These data suggest that exposure to PFAS may elevate the risk of MDR and subsequent disease progression. Although marketed as a safer alternative to PFOS, the notable impact of 6:2 Cl-PFESA on MDR highlights the necessity for a comprehensive assessment of its potential carcinogenic risks.

Repurposing raltegravir for reducing inflammation and treating cancer: a bioinformatics analysis. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Five FDA-approved drugs including Raltegravir, Conivaptan, Paclitaxel, Saquinavir, and Venetoclax with the ability to impede the activity of the ADAM17 metalloenzyme were identified. However, further in silico analysis has indicated that Raltegravir demonstrates a commendable interaction with the active site amino acids and exhibits the most favorable pharmacokinetic properties compared to others. Considering the results of bioinformatics tools, it can be concluded that Raltegravir as an antiviral drug could be repurposed to prevent severe inflammatory response and tumorigenesis resulting from ADAM17 malfunction.

Deciphering the Prognostic and Therapeutic Value of a Gene Model Associated with Two Aggressive Hepatocellular Carcinoma Phenotypes Using Machine Learning. (PubMed, J Hepatocell Carcinoma)
Additionally, patients in the low-risk group exhibited improved response to TACE and sorafenib treatments compared to the high-risk group. In contrast, the high-risk group exhibited reduced sensitivity to immunotherapy and increased sensitivity to paclitaxel. In the in-house cohort, high-risk patients displayed higher rates of early recurrence, along with an increased frequency of elevated alpha-fetoprotein, microvascular invasion, and aggressive MRI features associated with HCC. This study has successfully developed a risk score based on MTM and VETC-related genes, providing a promising tool for prognosis prediction and personalized treatment strategies in HCC patients.

Indirect targeting of MYC and direct targeting in combination with chemotherapies are more effective than direct mono-targeting in triple negative breast cancer. (PubMed, Transl Oncol)
We developed paclitaxel-, doxorubicin-, and cisplatin-resistant MDA-MB-231 cells to study MYC's role in upregulating DNA repair genes during drug resistance development...The combined use of asiRNA-VP (Vinylphosphonate) with dacomitinib or talazoparib was synthetic lethal in TNBC cell lines...We confirmed that MYC knockdown upregulated cFLIP, BCL2, STAT1, pSTAT1, STAT2, and cleaved saspase-3 in both TNBC and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines. Finally, we recommend a combination treatment approach that synergizes with MYC inhibition rather than monotherapy or indirect targeting via upstream regulators such as the BRD4 and RRM2 genes or selective modulation at the protein level to suppress anti-apoptotic genes (cFLIP and BCL2) at the same time.
