Over the past several decades, advancements in the treatment of -mutant melanoma have led to the development of inhibitors, /MEK inhibitor combinations, anti-PD-1 therapy, and anti-CTLA4 therapy. Although these therapies have shown substantial efficacy in clinical trials, their sustained effectiveness is often challenged by the tumor microenvironment, which is a highly heterogeneous and complex milieu of immunosuppressive cells that affect tumor progression. The era of personalized medicine holds substantial promise for the tailoring of treatments to individual genetic profiles.

Bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) inhibitors suppress super-enhancers and show cytotoxicity against multiple types of tumors. However, early clinical trials with BET inhibitors showed severe hematopoietic toxicities, highlighting the need for sensitive tumors and rational combination strategies to enhance their therapeutic potential. Here, we identified colon cancer-specific super-enhancers that were associated with multiple oncogenic pathways, including the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway.

New Pd(II) complexes of 1,7-bis(2-methoxyphenyl)hepta-1,6-diene-3,5-dione were synthesized and structurally characterized. The complexes were tested in vitro on human colon and hepatic carcinoma cell lines, normal hepatic cells and hematopoietic progenitor cells. Biological tests proved that Pd(II) complexes and (containing a curcumin derivative) exhibit a strong in vitro antitumor effect against the cells derived from human colorectal carcinoma and the hepatic metastasis of a colorectal carcinoma.

Aspartate-594 is the third most common BRAF residue mutated in human cancer. Mutants of this residue are kinase inactive, and the mechanism(s) by which they contribute to cancer has remained perplexing. Using a conditional knock-in mouse model, we show that the (D594A)Braf mutant does not drive tumor development per se but is able to induce aneuploidy in murine splenocytes and mouse embryonic fibroblasts and contributes to immortalization through the propagation of aneuploid cells.
