Sulfocoumarins behave as interesting inhibitors of the metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1). Here, we report a new series of 7-substituted derivatives which were obtained by the click chemistry approach from 7-propargyloxy-sulfocoumarin and aryl azides incorporating halogens, hydroxy, methoxy and carboxyl moieties in their molecules. The new compounds were screened for the inhibition on four physiologically relevant human CA (hCA) isoforms, the cytosolic hCA I and II and the transmembrane tumor-associated hCA IX and XII. The new compounds did not inhibit the cytosolic isoforms but were low nanomolar inhibitors of the tumor-associated ones hCA IX and XII.

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I load antigens and present them on the cell surface, which transduces the tumor-associated antigens to CD8 T cells, activating the acquired immune system. However, many tumors downregulate MHC I expression to evade immune surveillance. The low expression of MHC I not only reduce recognition by- and cytotoxicity of CD8 T cells, but also seriously weakens the anti-tumor effect of immunotherapy by restoring CD8 T cells, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents the most prevalent form of primary liver cancer and has a high mortality rate. Caspase-8 plays a pivotal role in an array of cellular signaling pathways and is essential for the governance of programmed cell death mechanisms, inflammatory responses, and the dynamics of the tumor microenvironment. Dysregulation of caspase-8 is intricately linked to the complex biological underpinnings of HCC.

Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a very aggressive disease characterized by a heterogeneous tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) constitute the major innate immune population in the TIME where they facilitate crucial regulatory processes that participate in malignant tumor progression. SPP1 + macrophages (SPP1 + Macs) are found in many cancers, but their effects on HNSCC remain unknown.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) requires innovative therapeutic strategies to counteract its progression and metastatic potential. Since the majority of patients are diagnosed with advanced metastatic disease, treatment strategies targeting not only the primary tumor but also metastatic lesions are needed. Tumor-Associated Macrophages (TAMs) have emerged as central players, significantly influencing PDAC progression and metastasis.

Here, we identify unique interactions of the CoREST repressor complex with RNA splicing factors and their functional consequences in tumorigenesis. Using mass spectrometry, in vivo binding assays, and cryo-EM we find that CoREST complex-splicing factor interactions are direct and perturbed by the CoREST complex inhibitor, corin, leading to extensive changes in RNA splicing in melanoma and other malignancies.
