Objective: To study the synergetic killing effects of external magnetic fields combined with the photodynamic action of porphyrin-dextran iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (PDMN) on human bladder cancer cells in vitro.
Methods: The PDMN were produced by using the chemical co-precipitation and redox process and the physicochemical properties were characterized. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) and flow cytometry were used to determine the effects of photodynamic therapy of PDMN combined with external pulsed electromagnetic fields (5 mT) on killing human bladder cancer BIU-87 cells respectively.
Results: The diameters of PDMN were 10-15 nm and the saturation magnetization was 0.20 emu/g. Effective diameter of PDMN was 94.8 nm. PDMN could remarkably inhibit the proliferation and induce the obvious apoptosis of BIU-87 cells, and the rates of growth inhibition and apoptosis were (17.61±2.73)% and (24.53±5.74)% respectively. Moreover, external pulsed electromagnetic fields (5 mT) could also suppress the proliferation and induce apoptosis of BIU-87 cells. Furthermore, the photodynamic action of PDMN combined with external magnetic fields significantly inhibited the proliferation and promote apoptosis of BIU-87 cells, and the rates of growth inhibition and apoptosis was (28.11±4.25)% and (24.53±5.74)%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of other groups (P<0.01).
Conclusion: The chemical modified photodynamic action of PDMN could effectively inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of BIU-87 cells. Moreover, these effects on BIU-87 cells could be strengthened by the combination with external magnetic fields.

Background: Cisplatin is a key therapeutic agent for bladder cancer, yet the emergence of cisplatin resistance presents a significant clinical challenge.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the potential and mechanisms of cyclanoline (Cyc) in overcoming cisplatin resistance.
Methods: Cisplatin-resistant T24 and BIU-87 cell models (T24/DR and BIU-87/DR) were established by increasing gradual concentration.

Article Synopsis
- Bladder cancer is increasing in prevalence and mortality rates, but the specific role of RAC3 in cisplatin-resistant bladder cancer cells is not fully understood.
- Using bioinformatics and lab techniques, researchers examined RAC3 expression in bladder cancer tissues, its correlation with cancer characteristics, and its impact on the immune environment and cell signaling pathways.
- Results showed higher levels of RAC3 in bladder cancer tissues linked to poor outcomes, with RAC3 overexpression promoting growth and resistance in cisplatin-resistant cells, while silencing it slowed their growth.

Peimenine (PEI) is a steroid alkaloid substance isolated from Fritillaria thunbergii bulbs. It has various pharmacological activities, such as relief from coughs and asthma, expectorant properties, antibacterial effects, sedative qualities, and anti-inflammatory properties. Notably, PEI can effectively inhibit the proliferation and tumor formation of liver cancer and osteosarcoma cells by inducing autophagic cell death.

One novel bisabolane-derived sesquiterpenoid retrobisabolane A (1), featuring a methyl group location at the C-4 position instead of C-3 in the bisabolanes, and a known ester-substituted eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoid cryptosphaerolide (2), along with three known indole alkaloids (3-5) were discovered from the fermented cultures of a deep-sea-derived fungus Retroconis fusiformis MCCC 3A00792. The planar structure of new compound 1 was determined by extensive analysis of the NMR and HRESIMS spectra. The relative and absolute configurations of 1 were resolved by the coupling constant (J), calculation of ECD and NMR spectra, and the DP4+ probability analysis of the H and C NMR data.

Studies have shown that tripartite motif-containing (TRIM) family proteins function as E3 ubiquitin ligases and play essential roles in cancer biology. In the present study, we validated a contribution of TRIM9 to bladder cancer progression. 296 patients derived from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and 22 clinical specimens were included, in which accumulated TRIM9 correlated with the poor prognosis and higher relapse in bladder patients.
