Floxuridine is a potential clinical anticancer drug for the treatment of various cancers. However, floxuridine typically causes unfavorable side effects due to its very poor tumor selectivity, and, hence, there is a high demand for the development of novel approaches that permit the targeted delivery of floxuridine into cancerous cells. Herein, the design and synthesis of an esterase-responsive multifunctional nanoformulation for the targeted delivery of floxuridine in esterase-overexpressed cancer cells is reported.

The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is critical for maintaining proteostasis, influencing stress resilience, lifespan, and thermal adaptability in organisms. In Caenorhabditis elegans, specific proteasome subunits and activators, such as RPN-6, PBS-6, and PSME-3, are associated with heat resistance, survival at cold (4°C), and enhanced longevity at moderate temperatures (15°C). Previously linked to improving proteostasis, we investigated the impact of sterility-inducing floxuridine (FUdR) on UPS functionality under proteasome dysfunction and its potential to improve cold survival.

Efficient intratumoral penetration is essential for nanomedicine to eradicate pancreatic tumors. Although nanomedicine can enter the perivascular space of pancreatic tumors, their access to distal tumor cells, aloof from the vessels, remains a formidable challenge. Here, we synthesized an acid-activatable macromolecular prodrug of floxuridine (FUDR)-poly(FUDR-ketal), engineered a micellar nanomedicine of FUDR, and intravenously co-administered the nanomedicine with the tumor-penetrating peptide iRGD for enhanced treatment of pancreatic tumor.

Background: Cellular senescence plays an irreplaceable role in tumorigenesis, progression, and tumor microenvironment (TME) remodeling. However, to date, there is limited research delineating the landscape of cellular senescence in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and an improved understanding on the interaction of tumor-associated cellular senescence with HCC prognosis, TME, and response to immunotherapy is warrant.
Methods: Tumorigenic and immune infiltration-associated senescence genes were determined by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and the Estimation of STromal and Immune cells in MAlignant Tumor tissues using Expression data (ESTIMATE) algorithm, and subsequently, a prognostic scoring model (named TIS) was constructed using multiple survival analysis algorithms to classify the senescence-related subtypes of HCC.

Cell culture studies offer the unique possibility to investigate the influence of pharmacological treatments with quantified dosages applied for defined time durations on survival, morphological maturation, protein expression and function as well as the mutual interaction of various cell types. Cultures obtained from postnatal rat brain contain a substantial number of glial cells that further proliferate with time in culture leading to an overgrowth of neurons with glia, especially astrocytes and microglia. A well-established method to decrease glial proliferation in vitro is to apply low concentrations of cytosine arabinoside (AraC).
