A limited number of overexpressed transcription factors are associated with cancer progression in many types of cancer. BTB and CNC homology 1 (BACH1) is the first mammalian heme-binding transcription factor that belongs to the basic region leucine zipper (bZIP) family and a member of CNC (cap 'n' collar). It forms heterodimers with the small musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma (MAF) proteins and stimulates or suppresses the expression of target genes under a very low intracellular heme concentration. It possesses a significant regulatory role in heme homeostasis, oxidative stress, cell cycle, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and cancer metastasis progression. This review discusses the current knowledge about how BACH1 regulates cancer metastasis in various types of cancer and other carcinogenic associated factors such as oxidative stress, cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. Overall, from the reported studies and outcomes, it could be realized that BACH1 is a potential pharmacological target for discovering new therapeutic anticancer drugs.

Multiarm-Assisted Design of Dendron-like Degradable Ionizable Lipids Facilitates Systemic mRNA Delivery to the Spleen.

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have emerged as pivotal vehicles for messenger RNA (mRNA) delivery to hepatocytes upon systemic administration and to antigen-presenting cells following intramuscular injection. However, achieving systemic mRNA delivery to non-hepatocytes remains challenging without the incorporation of targeting ligands such as antibodies, peptides, or small molecules. Inspired by comb-like polymeric architecture, here we utilized a multiarm-assisted design to construct a library of 270 dendron-like degradable ionizable lipids by altering the structures of amine heads and multiarmed tails for optimal mRNA delivery.

Purpose: To explore the association of ferroptosis with repeated implantation failure (RIF) and prognostic capability of ferroptosis-related genes.
Methods: Data in GSE106602 from the GEO database were used for gene co-expression network construction to confirm ferroptosis-related genes compared to gene sets that were downloaded from FerrDB. Then these genes were analyzed for functional enrichment and validated using endometrium samples from our center.
Exploiting NRF2-ARE pathway activation in papillary renal cell carcinoma.

Papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) is the second most frequent renal cancer subtype but has no indicated targeted treatments. MET inhibition may be a treatment for MET-driven pRCC, but there is a large group of non-MET-driven pRCC without targeted therapy. Activation of NRF2-ARE pathway has been suggested to be involved in pRCC.

Article Synopsis
- Glioblastoma (GBM) cells exhibit high levels of heterogeneity and invasion, contributing to treatment challenges and recurrences.
- * Researchers collected tumor core and peritumoral brain tissues to analyze the molecular behavior of infiltrating tumor cells, which resemble oligodendrocyte progenitor cells more than astrocytes.
- * The study identifies key transcription factors like AP-1 and BACH1 that influence tumor cell behavior, and suggests that combined targeting of these factors can improve treatment outcomes in GBM mice models.
