New series of indazole based diarylureas were synthesized and their anticancer activity against cancer cells H460, A549, OS-RC-2, HT-29, Lovo, HepG2, Bel-7402, SGC-7901 and MDA-MB-231 were examined. These derivatives of diarylureas, except azaindazole based diarylureas 5f, 5l and 5m, showed superior or similar activity against most of these selected cancer cell lines to the reference compound sorafenib. The effect of substituents on the indazole ring was also investigated. Derivatives with trifluoromenthy or halogen substituent on the indazole ring showed higher activity against the selected cancer cell lines than sorafenib. The acute toxicity assay showed that compounds 5a, 5b and 5i possessed lower toxicity than sorafenib. Compound 5i with 4-(trifluoromenthy)-1H-indazole and 4-(trifluoromenthy) benzene moieties exhibited the most potent anticancer activity.

Background: Dynamins are defined as a group of molecules with GTPase activity that play a role in the formation of endocytic vesicles and Golgi apparatus. Among them, DNM3 has gained recognition in oncology for its tumor suppressor role. Based on this, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the DNM3 gene in patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer using bioinformatics databases.

Background Aims: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) leads to severe liver diseases, such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Identification of host factors that regulate HBV replication can provide new therapeutic targets. The discovery of sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) as an HBV entry receptor has enabled the establishment of hepatic cell lines for analyzing HBV infection and propagation.

Purpose: Regulating intraocular pressure (IOP), mainly via the trabecular meshwork (TM), is critical in developing glaucoma. Whereas current treatments aim to lower IOP, directly targeting the dysfunctional TM tissue for therapeutic intervention has proven challenging. In our study, we utilized Dexamethasone (Dex)-treated TM cells as a model to investigate how extracellular vesicles (EVs) from immortalized corneal stromal stem cells (imCSSCs) could influence ANGPTL7 and MYOC genes expression within TM cells.

Purpose: Although mechanical injury to the cornea (e.g. chronic eye rubbing) is a known risk factor for keratoconus progression, how it contributes to loss of corneal integrity is not known.

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) exerts its physiological roles through the endothelialdifferentiation gene (EDG) family LPA receptors (LPAR1-3) or the non-EDG family LPA receptors (LPAR4-6). LPAR6 plays crucial roles in hair loss and cancer progression, yet its structural information is very limited. Here, we report the cryoelectron microscopy structure of LPA-bound human LPAR6 in complex with a mini G or G protein.
