Overcoming Chemoresistance via an AIEgen-Based Covalent Organic Framework. (PubMed, Nano Lett)
Mechanistic studies reveal that 3N-DPQ-COF accumulates efficiently in resistant tumor cells and suppresses cancer stemness in 4T1 and CT26 models, outperforming doxorubicin...Remarkably, even without checkpoint blockade, 3N-DPQ-COF suppresses metastasis and recurrence in chemoresistant 4T1 tumors, achieving >90% tumor inhibition and cure rates exceeding 80%. This study highlights the potential of AIEgen-based COF nanomedicines for overcoming chemoresistance through concurrent modulation of tumor stemness, pyroptosis, and immune activation.

CPX-351 Selectively Benefits Patients with AML and Myelodysplasia-Related Mutations in the Pivotal Randomized Trial. (PubMed, Blood Adv)
The OS benefit of CPX-351 observed in the trial was driven by AML-MR with no benefit of CPX-351 in TP53-AML, where the primary prognostic factor was allelic state. Clinical Trial Information: NCT01696084.

Bile Acid-Induced Aggregation and Phase Separation of Mutant p53 Leads to Doxorubicin Sequestration. (PubMed, Biomacromolecules)
Additionally, bile acids induce biomolecular condensate formation in mutant p53, sequestering doxorubicin within these structures and suggesting a mechanism for chemoresistance. These findings highlight the role of bile acids in promoting mutant p53 aggregation and therapy resistance, suggesting potential new therapeutic targets for p53 mutant CRC.

Multifocal Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor Presenting With Hemorrhagic Shock Due to Duodenal Invasion by a Pancreatic Head Mass: A Case Report. (PubMed, Cureus)
Initial systemic therapy with doxorubicin achieved stable disease at three months. Based on the genomic findings identified following comprehensive genomic profiling, the patient was subsequently enrolled in the DESTINY-PanTumor02 clinical trial and transitioned to treatment with trastuzumab deruxtecan targeting the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) alteration...It illustrates the marked radiologic and clinicopathologic heterogeneity of IMT and emphasizes the importance of comprehensive histopathologic and molecular evaluation to guide management in aggressive disease variants. Close collaboration across cross-disciplinary diagnostic specialties is essential for the assessment and treatment of rare, multi-organ conditions.

Breast cancer susceptibility gene 2 upregulation alleviated cardiac hypertrophy in angiotensin II-treated mice. (PubMed, Biochem Biophys Rep)
Loss of breast cancer susceptibility gene 2 (BRCA2) function was found to exacerbate doxorubicin-mediated cardiomyocyte apoptosis and promote heart failure progression...These results indicated that upregulation of BRCA2 could improve hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. BRCA2 alleviated cardiac hypertrophy via attenuation of inflammation and apoptosis.

Integrating network toxicology, machine learning, and molecular dynamics simulations to reveal tanshinone iia's dual mechanisms in TNBC and doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Our analyses reveal that Tan IIA regulates 13 core targets of Dox cardiotoxicity-with enrichment in pathways including canonical cancer and small cell lung cancer pathways-and that six of these targets exhibit high binding affinity for Tan IIA or Dox; notably, machine learning prioritized the histone methyltransferase EZH2 as the central target for Tan IIA's anti-TNBC activity, and we further show EZH2 is highly expressed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA) tissues and correlates positively with infiltration of immune cells (e.g., B cells, CD4⁺ T cells) and expression of immune-related molecules (including immunosuppressors and MHC-associated antigen-presenting molecules). Collectively, these findings demonstrate that Tan IIA may mitigate Dox cardiotoxicity via modulation of targets such as APAF1, AR, and TERT (and their associated signaling cascades) while targeting EZH2 to exert anti-TNBC effects, providing a mechanistic framework for repurposing Tan IIA to improve the safety and efficacy of Dox-based BC therapy.
