Redd1 acts as a negative regulator of mTOR in response to various stress conditions, but its specific physiological role is currently unclear. In the present study, we showed that Redd1 inhibits the invasive activity of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Interestingly, expression of Redd1 was extremely low in H1299 cells displaying high invasiveness, compared with that in H460 cells with lower invasive activity. Overexpression of Redd1 inhibited the invasive activity of H1299 cells, while suppression with specific siRNAs enhanced the invasiveness of H460 cells. Knockdown of the mTOR downstream substrate, S6K, resulted in a decrease in the invasive property of H1299 cells. Our results provide preliminary evidence that Redd1 inhibits the invasive activity of NSCLC cells via suppression of the mTOR downstream pathway.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer death due to metastatic spread. LIN28B is overexpressed in 30% of CRCs and promotes metastasis, yet its mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we genetically modified CRC cell lines to overexpress LIN28B, resulting in enhanced PI3K/AKT pathway activation and liver metastasis in mice.

The infiltration of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is predominantly characterized by diffuse spread, contributing significantly to therapy resistance and recurrence of GBM. In this study, we reveal that microtubule deacetylation, mediated through the downregulation of fibronectin type III and SPRY domain-containing 1 (FSD1), plays a pivotal role in promoting GBM diffuse infiltration. FSD1 directly interacts with histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) at its second catalytic domain, thereby impeding its deacetylase activity on α-tubulin and preventing microtubule deacetylation and depolymerization.

Hypoxia, a condition that enhances tumor invasiveness and metastasis, poses a significant challenge for diverse cancer therapies. There is a pressing demand for hypoxia-responsive nanoparticles with integrated photodynamic functions in order to address the aforementioned issues and overcome the reduced efficacy caused by tumor hypoxia. Here, we report a hypoxia-responsive supramolecular nanoparticle SN@IR806-CB consisting of a dendritic drug-drug conjugate (IR806-Azo-CB) and anionic water-soluble [2]biphenyl-extended-pillar[6]arene modified with eight ammonium salt ions (AWBpP6) the synergy of π-π stacking interaction, host-guest complexation, and hydrophobic interactions for synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), and chemotherapy (CT; , PTT-PDT-CT).

As solute carriers (SLC) transporters are capable of transporting different amino acids, cancer may develop as a result of these transporters' over-expression due to their complex formation with other biological molecules. Therefore, this review investigated the role of SLC transporters in the progression of cancer.

Placenta percreta is a rare form of disorder found in the spectrum of placenta accreta and represents a considerable cause of maternal complications with an increase in mortality. The radiologist's role is essential due to the support of images acquired by magnetic resonance imaging, given their high sensitivity and specificity to predict the degree of placental invasion in substitution or accompaniment of the ultrasound study between 28 and 32 weeks of gestation. We present the case of a 29-year-old patient who was in her third pregnancy with a history of two cesarean sections at the ISSSTE Regional Hospital in Monterrey, Nuevo León.
