Activation of TP53 target genes in the primary response of triple-negative breast cancer cells to doxorubicin treatment. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Collectively, this study highlights the critical role of TP53 target genes in the immediate response of TNBC cells to DNA-damaging agents like doxorubicin and etoposide. It also reveals distinct molecular mechanisms regulating their expression in resistant versus sensitive cells, offering potential therapeutic targets to improve treatment strategies for TNBC.

Synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy using doxorubicin-loaded gold nanorods for enhanced apoptosis in lung cancer cells. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
The synergistic effect was attributed to enhanced intracellular DOX release mediated by AuNR photothermal heating and increased membrane permeability upon laser exposure. These findings demonstrate that AuNR-assisted chemo-photothermal therapy can overcome drug resistance and amplify apoptosis, providing a rational, targeted, and effective strategy for advancing lung cancer treatment.

Cephalochromin Effects in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells: Apoptosis Induction and Modulation of Survival Pathways. (PubMed, J Nat Prod)
Furthermore, cephalochromin enhanced the cytotoxicity of paclitaxel and doxorubicin, showing additive synergistic interactions. In conclusion, our study provides compelling evidence of cephalochromin's antineoplastic activity in breast cancer, highlighting its potential to improve treatment outcomes. Further preclinical studies are warranted to validate their therapeutic efficacy and safety.

Combination of minocycline and ciprofloxacin enhances the inhibitory effect of tumor necrosis factor-alpha production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated THP-1 monocytic cells. (PubMed, Infect Med (Beijing))
Tetracyclines, such as minocycline (MINO), are widely used in the treatment of infectious diseases. This combination therapy is expected to provide both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. Enhanced cytokine modulation by antibiotics may be a key mechanism in the treatment of severe infectious diseases such as JSF.

Utilization of DOX-Fe complex and RSL3 co-loaded liposomes in ferroptosis-enhanced treatment of triple-negative breast cancer. (PubMed, Drug Deliv)
Here, we reported a doxorubicin (DOX)-Fe complex and RSL3 co-loaded liposomes (DOX-Fe/RSL3@LIPs) for ferroptosis-enhanced chemotherapy on TNBC tumors. The tumor cell ferroptosis was observably enhanced via supplements of the ferrous ions and H2O2, and RSL3-derived GPX4 inhibition to severely destroy the oxidation balance in cells. In this paper, the DOX-Fe/RSL3@LIPs have exerted a synergistic anticancer effect on TNBC by combining ferroptosis and conventional chemotherapy, and made a meaningful exploration of new strategies for TNBC therapy.

Linagliptin Attenuates Kidney Cancer in Rats via AMPK Activation and Suppression of YAP/TAZ/HIF-1α Signaling. (PubMed, Eur J Pharm Sci)
This study investigated the renoprotective action of linagliptin compared to doxorubicin against thioacetamide (TAA) and diethyl nitrosamine (DEN)-induced renocarcinogenesis in a rat model. These findings demonstrate that linagliptin, especially at 6 mg/kg/day, exhibits significant renoprotective activities through multifarious mechanisms involving antioxidant action and regulation of key molecular pathways. The present study presents evidence for the potential therapeutic application of linagliptin in renal manifestations of renocarcinogenesis.

UV-synthesized albumin-based doxorubicin nanoparticles induce apoptosis and modulate leukemia surface markers while overcoming drug resistance. (PubMed, Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol)
Our results demonstrate that UV-synthesized, albumin-based UV-DOX-NPs not only enhance antileukemic efficacy but also modulate the leukemic immunophenotype and overcome multidrug resistance. These results provide a promising platform for a more targeted and safer leukemia therapy.
