Prostaglandins (PGs) having antitumor activity such as delta12,14-PGJ2, delta12-PGJ2, PGA2 and PGA1 strongly inhibited topoisomerase II (topo II) from human placenta, the potential order of inhibitory activity of the PGs resembling that of the antitumor activity. PGs having no antitumor activity did not inhibit topo II. Delta12,14-PGJ2 to be a potent inhibitor showed inhibitions to some extent against topo I from wheat germ, NIH3T3 and calf thymus gland, and showed no inhibition against the enzymes from Vero, A549, HeLa and COLO 201 cells. Delta12,14-PGJ2 differentially inhibited topo I from different sources. Delta12,14-PGJ2 was a topo inhibitor of the cleavable complex-nonforming type without DNA intercalation.

Ferroptosis combined with photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a powerful approach to induce cancer cell death by producing and accumulating lethal reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Despite its efficacy and safety, challenges persist in delivering multiple drugs to the tumor site for enhanced antitumor efficacy and improved tissue targeting. Hence, we designed a method of inducing ferroptosis through laser-mediated and human homologation-specific efficient activation, which is also a ferroptosis therapy with higher safety through ROS-mediated.

The designability and high reactivity of nanotechnology provide strategies for antitumor therapy by regulating the redox state in tumor cells. Here, we synthesize a kind of vanadium dioxide nanoparticle encapsulated in bovine serum albumin and containing disulfide bonds (VSB NPs) for photothermal-enhanced ferroptosis and pyroptosis effects. Mechanism studies show that disulfide bonds can effectively consume overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment, leading to a decrease in glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) activity.

Treatment options for recurrent high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (HR NMIBC) and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) are limited, highlighting a need for clinically effective, accessible, and better-tolerated alternatives. In this review we examine the clinical development program of TAR-200, a novel targeted releasing system designed to provide sustained intravesical delivery of gemcitabine to address the needs of patients with NMIBC and of those with MIBC. We describe the concept and design of TAR-200 and the clinical development of this gemcitabine intravesical system in the SunRISe portfolio of studies.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) presents a formidable challenge in oncology, attributed to its association with chronic liver diseases and global prevalence. The immune microenvironment profoundly influences HCC progression, balancing immune suppression and antitumor responses. The Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) is central to this equilibrium, orchestrating immune dynamics and intertwining tumor progression with immune evasion mechanisms.

Background/aims: The objectives of this real-world study were to determine 1-year persistence with vedolizumab in patients with ulcerative colitis and to evaluate factors contributing to loss of response.
Methods: In this multicenter, retrospective, observational chart review, patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who received ≥ 1 dose of vedolizumab in clinical practice at 16 tertiary hospitals in Japan (from December 2018 through February 2020) were enrolled.
Results: Persistence with vedolizumab was 64.
