UBR5 mediates colorectal cancer chemoresistance by attenuating ferroptosis via Lys 11 ubiquitin-dependent stabilization of Smad3-SLC7A11 signaling.

Chemoresistance remains a principal culprit for the treatment failure in colorectal cancer (CRC), especially for patients with recurrent or metastatic disease. Deciphering the molecular basis of chemoresistance may lead to novel therapeutic strategies for this fatal disease. Here, UBR5, an E3 ubiquitin ligase frequently overexpressed in human CRC, is demonstrated to mediate chemoresistance principally by inhibiting ferroptosis.

Oxaliplatin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Rare but Fatal Reality.

Oxaliplatin is a commonly used chemotherapy drug for the treatment of gastrointestinal malignancies, but it can lead to various side effects, including interstitial lung disease (ILD), a rare but potentially fatal condition. ILD is an inflammatory and fibrotic lung disease that can cause progressive lung damage and respiratory failure. The exact mechanism by which oxaliplatin induces ILD is not known, but it is believed to be due to an immune-mediated response, or direct toxicity via oxidative stress.

Background: Rechallenge with oxaliplatin is common in the treatment of colorectal cancer and increases the risk of a detrimental oxaliplatin-induced immune reaction. Allergic reactions to oxaliplatin may be partially avoided by desensitization protocols involving immune suppressive drugs, slow administration and gradually increasing chemotherapeutic doses. However, non-IgE-mediated immunopathologic reactions to oxaliplatin remain challenging and may be potentially life-threatening.

Oxaliplatin Immune-Induced Syndrome Occurs With Cumulative Administration and Rechallenge: Single Institution Series and Systematic Review Study.

Niguarda Cancer Center, Grande Ospedale Metropolitano Niguarda, Milan, Italy; Dipartimento di Oncologia e Emato-Oncologia, Università degli Studi di Milano, Milan, Italy.

Oxaliplatin immune-induced syndrome (OIIS) is an uncommon, potentially life-threatening, side effect associated with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. The present study reports 5 original cases of OIIS and systematically reviewed the available published cases. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical archives of the Niguarda Cancer Center from 2009 to 2015 and conducted a search for OIIS using the PubMed database, followed by deeper investigation of the references of the recorded studies.

Oxaliplatin is a common chemotherapy drug, used mainly for colon and gastric cancer. Most common side effects are peripheral sensory neuropathy, hematological toxicity, and allergic reactions. A less common side effect is pulmonary toxicity, characterized mainly by interstitial pneumonitis.
