Background: Phenothiazines have anticancer properties and are able to reverse the multidrug resistance of neoplastic cells by inhibiting the ATP-binding cassette, sub-family B (MDR/TAP), member 1 protein (ABCB1 or P-glycoprotein) activity.
Materials And Methods: A series of new phenothiazine derivatives was investigated regarding their ABCB1-modulating effect on multidrug resistant mouse T-lymphoma cells by rhodamine 123 accumulation assay and real-time ethidium bromide accumulation assay.
Results: The phenothiazine derivatives exhibited a potent anticancer effect on the parental cell line and on its multidrug-resistant mouse T-lymphoma subline overexpressing the ABCB1 transporter. The inhibition of the ABCB1 transporter in the presence of the newly-developed phenothiazines was greater than that for the known ABCB1 inhibitors thioridazine and verapamil.
Conclusion: Based on the chemical structures and biological activity, compounds with bivalent sulfur atom in the phenothiazine ring demonstrated marked ABCB1-modulating effect, however, other derivatives with halogen or amide substitutions were ineffective.

Objective: To explore the role of Tiam1 in proliferation, invasion, and migration of pancreatic cancer.
Significance: Previous studies have shown that T-cell lymphoma invasion and metastasis-inducing factor 1 (Tiam1) is involved in multiple tumor progression. However, the role and molecular mechanism of this molecule in pancreatic cancer remain unclear.

IL-7 is a cytokine produced by stromal cells, which binds to IL-7Rα and plays an important role for homeostasis of T lymphocytes. Excessive activities of IL-7-triggered signaling pathways causes autoimmune diseases. How IL-7-triggered signaling and immune effects are regulated is not fully understood.

Previous studies have suggested that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) within the tumor microenvironment are a critical factor in tumorigenesis and tumor development. However, the regulatory mechanisms of CAFs on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) are poorly defined. A CAF-conditioned medium (CAF-CM) was collected and applied to culture OSCC cells.

The human auricle has a complex structure, and microtia is a congenital malformation characterized by decreased size and loss of elaborate structure in the affected ear with a high incidence. Our previous studies suggest that inadequate cell migration is the primary cytological basis for the pathogenesis of microtia, however, the underlying mechanism is unclear. Here, we further demonstrate that microtia chondrocytes show a decreased directional persistence during cell migration.

TP53-mutant blood cancers remain a clinical challenge. BH3-mimetic drugs inhibit BCL-2 pro-survival proteins, inducing cancer cell apoptosis. Despite acting downstream of p53, functional p53 is required for maximal cancer cell killing by BH3-mimetics through an unknown mechanism.
