This study was performed to compare the relative antineoplastic activity of 10 different non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in clinical use, and to investigate the underlying mechanisms of this activity in a squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck model (SCCHN). A standard 5-day MTT assay was used to calculate IC(50) values in UM-SCC-1 cells for 10 NSAIDs, including celecoxib, rofecoxib, sulindac sulfide, sulindac sulfone, indomethacin, ketoprofen, flurbiprofen, naproxen, piroxicam, and aspirin. Celecoxib, a COX-2 specific inhibitor, was by far the most potent NSAID, with an IC(50) of 39.9 +/- 1.1 microM, followed by sulindac sulfide (116.5 +/- 2.34 microM). Celecoxib and sulindac sulfide also induced more activation of caspase-3 than any other NSAID. Cell cycle analysis showed that celecoxib and sulindac sulfide both induced a 3-fold increase in G(1) phase distribution, and this correlated with strong induction of p21(waf1/cip1), inhibition of cyclin D1, and hypophosphorylation of Rb. Celecoxib and sulindac sulfide treatment induced strong downstream inhibition of E2F transactivating activity as determined by a luciferase reporter assay. These data demonstrate the wide range of activity of various NSAID agents, and reveal a mechanism of action through cell cycle inhibition and induction of apoptosis.

Gain-of-function mutation in the phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PI3K) catalytic subunit alpha gene (PIK3CA) is a significant factor in head and neck cancer (HNC). Patients with HNC harboring PIK3CA mutations receive therapeutic benefits from the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects remain unknown.

Introduction: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) comprises a heterogeneous group of clinically aggressive tumors with high risk of recurrence and metastasis. Current pharmacological treatment options remain largely limited to chemotherapy. Despite promising results, the efficacy of immunotherapy and chemo-immunotherapy in TNBC remains limited.

Cytochrome P450 4A11 (CYP4A11) has many endogenous and exogenous compounds containing a carboxyl group in their structure as substrates. If drugs with this characteristic potently attenuate the catalytic function of CYP4A11, drug-drug interactions may occur. Acidic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) possess a carboxylic acid in their structure.

Thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) is known for its cell-specific functions in cancer progression, such as proliferation and migration. It contains 22 exons that may potentially produce several different transcripts. Here, we identified TSP1V as a novel TSP1-splicing variant produced by intron retention (IR) in human thyroid cancer cells and tissues.

Background: Hemorrhage, in particular noncompressible hemorrhage, is the leading cause of casualties in combat trauma and civilian trauma. Although systemic agents can stop bleeding at both inaccessible and accessible injury sites, the application of systemic hemostats in clinics is strictly limited by the nontargeting ability of hemostats and their subsequent potential for thromboembolic complications.
Objectives: To engineer an anticoagulant/procoagulant self-converting and bleeding site-targeting systemic nanohemostat to rapidly control noncompressible bleeding without thrombosis risk.
