ILF2: a multifaceted regulator in malignant tumors and its prospects as a biomarker and therapeutic target.

Interleukin enhancer binding factor 2 (ILF2), formerly called nuclear factor 45 (NF45), is widely expressed in normal human tissues. ILF2 often binds to interleukin enhancer binding factor 3 (ILF3) and regulates gene expression in several ways, participating in multiple DNA and RNA metabolism pathways. Recent studies have shown that ILF2 expression is significantly upregulated in esophageal cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer, and other malignant tumors, which can promote tumor development and tumor cell proliferation, affect the cell cycle, and induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Determination of Pralsetinib in Human Plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring by Ultra-performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS).

Background: Ultra-performance Liquid Chromatography-tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) is widely used for concentration detection of many Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs), including afatinib, crizotinib, and osimertinib. In order to analyze whether pralsetinib takes effect in Rearranged during Transfection (RET)-positive patients with central nervous system metastasis, we aimed to develop a method for the detection of pralsetinib concentrations in human plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) by UPLC-MS/MS.

Methods: The method was developed using the external standard method, and method validation included precision, accuracy, stability, extraction recovery, and matrix effect.

Astragaloside IV Overcomes Anlotinib Resistance in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer through miR-181a-3p/UPR-ERAD Axis.

Background: Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) has been shown to have a curative effect on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to elucidate the role of AS-IV in NSCLC cell anlotinib resistance (AR).

Methods: The NSCLC/AR cells, resistant to anlotinib, have been produced.

Immunotherapeutic progress and application of bispecific antibody in cancer.

Bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) are artificial antibodies with two distinct antigen-binding sites that can bind to different antigens or different epitopes on the same antigen. Based on a variety of technology platforms currently developed, bsAbs can exhibit different formats and mechanisms of action. The upgrading of antibody technology has promoted the development of bsAbs, which has been effectively used in the treatment of tumors.
