Chemotherapy can prevent metastasis and recurrence of gastric cancer (GC), and is a well supplement for operation. But, chemotherapy resistance has severely restricted the application of chemotherapy. This study aimed to investigate the regulatory roles and molecular mechanism of miR-16-1 to the chemosensitivity to adriamycin in GC. In this study, the expression of miR-16-1 and FUBP1 was down-regulated and up-regulated respectively in adriamycin-resistant GC tissues and cell lines, and represented a negative relationship between them. MiR-16-1 could silence FUBP1 directly and specifically, FUBP1 was a target gene of miR-16-1. Silence of FUBP1 inhibited the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of SGC7901/AR cell line to adriamycin, chemosensitivity enhanced significantly. Moreover, FUBP1 silence in SGC7901/AR cell line also inhibited proliferation and invasion, and advanced cell apoptosis. To sum up, the expression of miR-16-1 was positively related with the chemosensitivity of GC to adriamycin, and miR-16-1 could targeted silence FUBP1 to advance the chemosensitivity to adriamycin in GC, which might be a novel potential therapeutic target for GC.

Background: Curcumin (Cur) is a polyphenol phyto-compound found in turmeric () that inhibits tumorigenesis by introducing apoptosis and restricting cell survival and proliferation. This in vitro research article focuses on the pharmacodynamic interactions of Cur combined with the commercial drug doxorubicin (Doxo) to enhance the cytotoxicity of Doxo at lower doses against triple-negative breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) with the chemo-protective effect against normal HEK293 cells. In this study, we observed the dose-dependent cytotoxicity, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and increased chromatin condensation in combination doses compared to single doses.

Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is one of the most common soft-tissue sarcomas in elderly patients. Owing to the limited efficacy of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, complete resection is the only available curative treatment. Therefore, developing novel therapies for MFS is important to improve clinical outcomes.

: Doxorubicin (DOX) is commonly used as a chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of breast cancer. Nonetheless, its systemic delivery via intravenous injection and toxicity towards healthy tissues commonly result in a broad range of detrimental side effects. Breast cancer severity was previously shown to be correlated with TRPC1 channel expression that conferred upon it enhanced vulnerability to pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy.

Background: Osteosarcoma (OS) is a primary malignancy of bone. The emergence of chemoresistance represents a persistent barrier to effective cancer patient care. This analysis sought to examine hsa_circ_0078767 as a mediator of doxorubicin (DOX) resistance in OS.

Lung carcinoma, predominantly manifested as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), significantly contributes to oncological mortality, underscoring an imperative for novel therapeutic paradigms. Amidst this context, the present investigation delineates the synergistic potentiation of doxorubicin (DOX)-a canonical chemotherapeutic-by Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), a compound with a historical pedigree in hepatobiliary medicine, now repositioned within oncological pharmacotherapy due to its dichotomous cellular modulation-affording cytoprotection to non-malignant epithelia whilst eliciting apoptotic cascades in neoplastic counterparts. This study, through a rigorous methodological framework, elucidates UDCA's capacity to inhibit NSCLC cellular proliferation and induce apoptosis, thereby significantly amplifying DOX's chemotherapeutic efficacy.
