Clinically available SFK inhibitors, particularly dasatinib, synergistically enhance ATRA-induced myeloid differentiation of NB4 APL cells and are more effective than the conventional ATRA plus ATO combination in this in vitro model. These findings support further preclinical and clinical evaluation of SFK inhibitor plus ATRA combinations as differentiation-oriented strategies and potential alternatives or complements to ATO-containing regimens in APL.

In MDA-MB-231 cells, the Pyk2 inhibitor PF4618433 and Src inhibitor Saracatinib modestly reduced metabolic activity at high concentrations; however dual treatment produced a dose-dependent and synergistic reduction in viability...Dual treatment did not further decrease these signaling nodes but nonetheless produced stronger functional inhibition of viability and motility, and the shared regulation of p-Erk1/2 by Pyk2 and Src may help explain how compensatory Pyk2 activation limits the effectiveness of Src-targeted therapies. Together, these findings show that coordinated Pyk2 and Src inhibition restores Cx43 organization and disrupts multiple malignant traits in TNBC cells, supporting this combination as a promising therapeutic strategy.

Our in vivo data identify murine VPS35 as a critical regulator of hepatocellular proliferation in postnatal livers, but not after PH. Although VPS35 deficiency mitigates DEN-induced liver lesion formation, it does not affect tumor progression, arguing against a role for VPS35 as a canonical oncogene.

The versioned VHL VCEP specifications are publicly available in the ClinGen Criteria Specifications Registry and will enhance the transparency and consistency of variant classifications for this highly sequenced hereditary cancer gene.

Wild-type and 5-fluorouracil-resistance acquired SNU-C5 colorectal cancer cells were cultured in both monolayer and spheroid systems under fetal bovine serum (FBS) or growth factor (GF) supplemented conditions. Saracatinib exerts anti-cancer effects in colorectal cancer cells by downregulating MAPKs, EGFR, and CSC-associated markers. However, paradoxical upregulation of Sox2 influenced spheroid formation under GF-supplemented conditions, suggesting that Sox2 may contribute to drug resistance or recurrence in colorectal cancers.

These findings show reduced selective packaging of p-SRC into EVs shed by MDR cells (MDR-EVs), suggesting an important role for this protein in the MDR phenotype and its potential as a molecular target. Bosutinib, an SRC inhibitor, might be useful as a chemosensitizer of MDR cells.

Importantly, in a therapeutically relevant orthotopic G3 MB model, administration of the re-purposed blood-brain-barrier permeable SRC inhibitor, Saracatinib, in conjunction with CRT, significantly reduced tumor burden and improved animal survival compared to CRT treatment alone without any neurotoxic side effects. Overall, our results underscore the pivotal role of SRC in enhancing stemness and aggressive behavior in CRT-resistant recurrent G3 MB. Targeting SRC not only promotes cell death through apoptosis and necroptosis but also encourages differentiation, positioning it as a promising therapeutic target for rapid clinical interventions.

Drug sensitivity analysis revealed that UBE2D3-low tumors were more responsive to vincristine, bosutinib, and ambazone [median inhibitory concentration difference (IC50 diff.) P<0.01], supported by favorable molecular docking affinities. Correspondingly, its loss appears to correlate with advanced disease, an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), and unfavorable prognosis. This potential role in modulating immune cell dynamics and drug sensitivity positions UBE2D3 as a promising biomarker for prognostication and personalized therapy selection in KIRC.

EVs from SRC inhibitor Bosutinib treated cells showed reduced effects on cell viability, migration, and invasion of MUC1 knockout cells as compared to EVs from untreated cells...Collectively, our findings identify a previously unrecognized role for MUC1 in influencing EV composition and function: influencing loading of oncogenic protein cargoes into EVs. Our data highlight a novel mechanism controlling tumor-specific EV cargo loading and demonstrate that oncogenic cargo in MUC1-associated EVs contributes to pancreatic cancer progression.
