The negative control was a high cholesterol diet, and the positive control was simvastatin...A decrease in AST and ALT levels was shown by administering BBLE+SAE, and a higher mean hepatocyte cell count was observed compared to the other groups. Administration of BBLE+SAE acts as an anti-atherosclerotic and hepatoprotective agent for the liver through reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines, and its use was promising for clinical studies.

qPCR and flow cytometry analyses further confirmed that simvastatin exerted its therapeutic effects by suppressing the calcium signaling pathway and downregulating the expression of nuclear factor of activated T cells 3 (NFATC3). Collectively, our study demonstrates that simvastatin alleviates CD4+ T cell inflammatory responses in AIH through calcium-dependent signaling pathway.

These findings offer preliminary clues for future risankizumab-based combination strategies in psoriasis.

These findings may explain one of the reasons for the suboptimal efficacy of simvastatin in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, while also providing new insights for research on the antitumor effects of statins.

Importantly, two clinical drugs, the RhoA inhibitor simvastatin and the YAP1/TEAD inhibitor verteporfin were determined to be the disruptors of this feed-forward signaling axis, inhibiting ICC tumor growth. These findings reveal the vital function of ANLN in ICC growth and provide promising treatment strategies for ICC.

To investigate this, we synthesized statin-dye conjugates by attaching a fluorescent dye (Cy5.5) to two statins: simvastatin and pravastatin, aiming to assess whether selective uptake indeed occurs. Notably, in the PCC and CAF co-culture model, the pravastatin-Cy5.5 conjugate selectively killed KRASMUT PCCs without affecting the KRASWT CAFs. These findings highlight the unique synergistic potential of statin-Cy5.5-distinct from either component alone-as targeted delivery vehicles for KRASMUT cancer therapy.

Further, PTSK@CRM reduces the infiltration of immunosuppressive cells, thereby reversing ITME to improve the therapeutic efficacy of αPD-1. Overall, this immune-metabolic therapeutic strategy provides a potential route for remodeling ITME to enhance tumor immunotherapy.
