Clitocine enhances the drug sensitivity of colon cancer cells by promoting FBXW7-mediated MCL-1 degradation via inhibiting the A2B/cAMP/ERK axis.

Chemotherapy resistance to colon cancer is an unavoidable obstacle in the clinical management of the disease. Clitocine, an adenosine analog, played a significant role in the chemosensitivity of human colon cancer cells by promoting myeloid cell leukemia 1 (MCL-1) protein degradation. However, the detailed mechanism remains to be further elucidated.

Analysis of Plasma EBV-DNA and Soluble Checkpoint Proteins in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Patients after Definitive Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy.

Background: Tumor immunotherapy and immunological checkpoint-related proteins are research hotspots. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is the main treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Hence, the evaluation of its effect is very important.
