miR-451a suppression of IL-6R can inhibit proliferation and increase apoptosis through the JAK2/STAT3 pathway in multiple myeloma.

The IL-6R/JAK2/STAT3 pathway mediated by interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays an important role in the occurrence and development of multiple myeloma (MM), which is associated with decreased microRNA-451a. However, the biological function of microRNA-451a in MM remains unclear. The bone marrow (BM) of patients with MM was sampled, and the plasma cells were enriched.

Circulating miR-451a levels as a potential biomarker to predict the prognosis of patients with multiple myeloma.

The natural course of multiple myeloma (MM) varies greatly between patients. The Revised MM International Staging System (R-ISS) identifies high-risk patients, but it is unsuitable for assessing minimal residual disease (MRD). Furthermore, the focal location of myeloma cells and clonal evolution often produce false negative results in flow cytometry.

A concise review of recent advances in anti-heart failure targets and its small molecules inhibitors in recent years.

Heart failure is a disease with high mortality and the risk of heart failure increases in magnitude with age. The patients of heart failure is increasing year by year. Hence, Pharmaceutical researchers have to develop new drugs with better pharmacological effects to coping with this phenomenon.

Novel HER2-Targeting Antibody-Drug Conjugates of Trastuzumab Beyond T-DM1 in Breast Cancer: Trastuzumab Deruxtecan(DS-8201a) and (Vic-)Trastuzumab Duocarmazine (SYD985).

Targeted drug delivery has improved cancer treatment significantly in recent years, although it is difficult to achieve. Different approaches have been developed to apply targeted drug delivery. Among which, antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) provides a potentially ideal solution to such a challenge.

Recent Advances of Natural Polyphenols Activators for Keap1-Nrf2 Signaling Pathway.

The Keap1-Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway is an important defense system against exogenous and endogenous oxidative stress injury. The dysregulation of the signaling pathway is associated with many diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and respiratory diseases. Over the years, a wide range of natural products has provided sufficient resources for the discovery of potential therapeutic drugs.

Recent Progress on the Discovery of Sirt2 Inhibitors for the Treatment of Various Cancers.

Sirtuins family is a class of NDA+ dependent protein deacetylases that play a key role in the regulation of several aspects of biological processes, such as cell cycle regulation, autophagy, immune and inflammatory response. Many studies have shown that sirtuins2 as a key player in the cancer pathway is of great significance in tumorigenesis. This review summarizes the newly discovered, in recent years, some SIRT2 inhibitors for cancer target structure, action mechanism, biological activity, substrate specificity, and signaling pathways.
