Molecular Docking and Pharmacokinetic Profiling of Nab-paclitaxel as Advanced Chemotherapeutic Agent Against HER-2 Positive Breast Cancer Patients. (PubMed, Asian Pac J Cancer Prev)
The binding energy confirms the secure docking of ligands to receptors, suggesting the stability of the interaction between them. Nevertheless, prolonged administration of Paclitaxel poses the risk of inducing drug resistance, a significant factor contributing to treatment failure. This emphasizes the need to explore new candidate drug combinations or identify alternative drug-binding interaction sites. Such endeavors hold the potential to enhance the effectiveness of drug treatments and address challenges associated with prolonged Paclitaxel use.

Vinblastine Resistance Is Associated with Nephronophthisis 3-Mediated Primary Cilia via Intraflagellar Transport Protein 88 and Apoptosis-Antagonizing Transcription Factor. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Collectively, cancer cell survival following VBL treatment is regulated by PC formation via AATF-mediated expression of IFT88 and NPHP3. Our data suggest that the activation of AATF and IFT88 could be a novel regulator to induce anticancer drug resistance through NPHP3-associated PC formation.

Sustained response to anti-PD-1 therapy in combination with nab-paclitaxel in metastatic testicular germ cell tumor harboring the KRAS-G12V mutation: a case report. (PubMed, Urol Int)
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first successful case of KRAS-mutation patient with TGCT who achieved partially and sustained disease remission by combining immune checkpoint inhibitors with chemotherapy. This case provides an excellent example for personalized treatment of metastatic TGCTs.

Phase II Trial of Gemcitabine and nab-Paclitaxel for Recurrent Osteosarcoma with Serial Monitoring Using Liquid Biopsy: A Report from the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation. (PubMed, Clin Cancer Res)
Gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel demonstrated similar clinical activity and toxicity compared to previous retrospective reports utilizing gemcitabine and docetaxel in patients with recurrent osteosarcoma. Serial analysis of CTC and ctDNA was feasible in this prospective multi-institution study and provides preliminary data on the use of these assays in patients with relapsed disease.

Mitochondrial metabolism blockade nanoadjuvant reversed immune-resistance microenvironment to sensitize albumin-bound paclitaxel-based chemo-immunotherapy. (PubMed, Acta Pharm Sin B)
To fill these gaps, we newly revealed that tamoxifen (TAM), a clinically widely used adjuvant therapy for breast cancer with mitochondrial metabolism blockade capacity, could also be used as a novel effective PD-L1 and TGF-β dual-inhibitor via inducing the phosphorylation of adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) protein. Besides, TPP-TAM@Alb also effectively decreased the expression of PD-L1 and TGF-β in tumors to better sensitize PTX@Alb-mediated chemo-immunotherapy by enhancing T cell infiltration. All in all, we newly put forward a novel mitochondrial metabolism blockade strategy to inhibit PTX@Alb-resistant tumors, further supporting its better clinical application.

The Chemo-Immunotherapeutic Roles of Tumor-Derived Extracellular Vesicle-Based Paclitaxel Delivery System in Hepatocarcinoma. (PubMed, Mol Pharm)
As a first-line chemotherapeutic agent, albumin-bound paclitaxel (PA) has a considerable effect on the treatment of various cancers...By employing the EV-dependent enhanced retention effect and specific homing effect, EVPA would passively and actively target tumor tissues, activate the immune response to release PA, and achieve the combination therapeutic effect of chemo-immunotherapy on hepatocarcinoma. We demonstrated that the tumor-killing effect of EVPA is superior to that of PA, both in vivo and in vitro and that EVPA can be effectively taken up by hepatocarcinoma and dendritic cells, activate the body's specific immune response, promote the infiltration of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in tumor tissues, and exert a precise killing effect on hepatocarcinoma cells via chemo-immunotherapy.

Paclitaxel and Vinblastine Increase Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 Production in Human Breast Cancer MCF-7 Cells but Not MDA-MB-231 Cells. (PubMed, Biol Pharm Bull)
Treatment of MCF-7 cells with paclitaxel (PTX), a microtubule-stabilizing antitumor drug, at 1 µM for 2 h elevated the PAI-1 concentration of the conditioned medium at 48 h after treatment but not in those treated with tamoxifen and cyclophosphamide. Microtubule assembly inhibitors vinblastine (VBT) and vincristine (VCT) also increased the PAI-1 concentration in the conditioned medium...This study demonstrated that temporary low-dose treatment with microtubule-associated anticancer drugs increased PAI-1 release from MCF-7 cells but not from MDA-MB-231 cells. These results indicate that chemotherapy against luminal A-type breast cancer using microtubule-associated drugs may cause thrombosis through the inhibition of the fibrinolytic system by PAI-1.

Discovery of novel thiophene[3,2-d]pyrimidine-based tubulin inhibitors with enhanced antitumor efficacy for combined use with anti-pd-l1 immunotherapy in melanoma. (PubMed, Eur J Med Chem)
Among them, compound DPP-21 displayed the most potent anti-proliferative activity against six cancer cell lines with an average IC50 of ∼6.23 nM, better than that of colchicine (IC50 = 9.26 nM)...Notably, the combination of DPP-21 with NP-19 (a PD-L1-targeting small molecule inhibitor reported by our group before) demonstrated enhanced anti-cancer efficacy in vivo. These results suggest that DPP-21 is a promising lead compound deserving further investigation as a potential anti-cancer agent.

A case report of feline mast cell tumour with intertumoral heterogeneity: Identification of secondary mutations c.998G>C and c.2383G>C in KIT after resistance to toceranib. (PubMed, Vet Med Sci)
After failed treatment with vinblastine (2.0-2.2 mg/m2, intravenous administration, two doses in total) or nimustine (25 mg/m2, intravenous administration, two doses in total), toceranib (2.2-2.6 mg/kg, orally administered, every other day) was administered to treat recurrent MCTs harbouring the KIT exon eight internal tandem duplication mutation, achieving a complete response...This indicates that the tumour cells in feline MCTs in the same case have diverse characteristics. Our findings encourage further investigation into the development of therapeutic strategies for feline MCTs, particularly focusing on the heterogeneous nature of KIT/KIT and overcoming acquired resistance to toceranib.
