Hydroxychloroquine inhibits the growth of lung cancer cells by inducing G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. (PubMed, Pak J Pharm Sci)
The findings from this study offered robust evidence supporting the use of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Consequently, hydroxychloroquine emerges as a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of this cancer.

Rheumatoid arthritis with Castleman-like histopathology in lymph nodes: A case report (PubMed, Beijing Da Xue Xue Bao Yi Xue Ban)
She was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis with Castleman like histopathology in lymph nodes and was treated with methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine sulfate combined with glucocorticoids. In the first year after sur-gery, the patient' s condition remained stable and there was no growth of lymph nodes in the right axilla. The patient passed away due to severe infection in the second year after the surgery.

The role of lipoprotein‑associated phospholipase A2 in inflammatory response and macrophage infiltration in sepsis and the regulatory mechanisms. (PubMed, Funct Integr Genomics)
Rbbp6 overexpression similarly suppressed inflammatory activation of RAW264.7 cells, which was counteracted by Pla2g7 or Spi1 upregulation. In summary, this study demonstrates that the Pla2g7 loss and Spi1 upregulation participate in inflammatory responses in sepsis by elevating the Lp-PLA2 levels.

Efficacy and safety of methotrexate plus hydroxychloroquine combination therapy vs. methotrexate monotherapy in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis: A randomized controlled clinical trial. (PubMed, Int J Rheum Dis)
In our study, both the MTX + HCQ combination therapy and MTX monotherapy demonstrated improvements in symptoms, conditions and quality of life for patients with RA. Notably, the combination therapy could achieve better outcomes across all indices compared to MTX monotherapy, highlighting its potential as the optimal first-line treatment for RA.

Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Anti-Mycobacterial Therapy (RHB-104) in Active Crohn's Disease. (PubMed, Antibiotics (Basel))
A double-blind multicenter study of adults with active Crohn's disease, (i.e., Crohn's Disease Activity Index [CDAI] 220-450 plus C-reactive protein ≥ 1.0 mg/dL, fecal calprotectin (FCP) >162.9 µg/g stool, or recent endoscopic or radiographic confirmation of active disease) receiving concomitant standard-of-care Crohn's disease treatment (Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT01951326) were stratified by anti-tumor necrosis factor use and randomized (1:1) to anti-MAP RHB-104 (clarithromycin 95 mg, rifabutin 45 mg, and clofazimine 10 mg per capsule) (n = 166), resulting in clarithromycin 950 mg/day, rifabutin 450 mg/day, and clofazimine 100 mg/day, or placebo (n = 165) for up to 52 weeks. No patient died during the study. Antimicrobial therapy directed against MAP resulted in significantly greater improvement in clinical and laboratory (FCP) measures of active Crohn's disease.

PAFerroptosis Combined with Metabolic Disturbance of Mito by p52-ZER6 for Enhanced Cancer Immunotherapy induced by Nano-Bacilliform-Enzyme. (PubMed, Adv Healthc Mater)
Simultaneously, in order to refrain from mitophagy, hydroxychloroquine is mixed with NBE to form a combo with strength pyroptosis. As a result, NBE/combo improves the PAFerroptosis obviously by activation of CD8+T cells and inactivation of MDSC cells, up-regulating expression of caspase-3 signal pathway, intercepting DHODH pathway to arrive excellent antitumor effect (93%). Therefore, this study establishes a rational nanoenzyme for mitochondrial dysfunction without mitophagy for effective antitumor therapy.

An "Iron-phagy" nanoparticle inducing irreversible mitochondrial damages for antitumor therapy. (PubMed, J Control Release)
After internalization and lysosomal escape, the nanoparticle disassembles in response to the reactive oxygen species (ROS), subsequently releasing the iron chelator Dp44mT and autophagy-inhibitory drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)...Consequentially, Dp44mT@HTH induces irreversible mitochondrial impairments, in this respect creating a substantial toxic stack state that induces apoptosis and cell death. Initiating from the perspective of endogenous substances, this strategy illuminates the promise of iron depletion therapy via irreversible mitochondrial damage induction for anticancer treatment.

A hydroxychloroquine platinum(IV) conjugate displaying potent antimetastatic activities by suppressing autophagy to improve the tumor microenvironment. (PubMed, Dalton Trans)
A hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) platinum(IV) complex with autophagy suppressing potency was developed, which displayed potent antitumor activities with a TGI rate of 44.2% against 4T1 tumors in vivo and exhibited a rather lower toxicity than cisplatin. Adaptive immune response was improved by inhibiting the immune checkpoint PD-L1 and further increasing CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in tumors. Then, tumor metastasis was effectively inhibited by restraining angiogenesis through inhibiting VEGFA, MMP-9, and CD34.

Then, the thermosensitive liposome modified with FAP-α-responsive peptide (CAP) was used as a carrier to encapsulate autophagy inhibitor hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and Tf-Te, to obtain an intelligent TT@CH delivery system...Meanwhile, lung metastatic nodules of TT@CH treated mice reduced by 124.33 compared with that of mice in control group. Overall, TT@CH provided an effective therapy strategy for melanoma.
