Background: Radiotherapy is the primary treatment modality for most head and neck cancers (HNCs). Despite the addition of chemotherapy to radiotherapy to enhance its tumoricidal effects, almost a third of HNC patients suffer from locoregional relapses. Salvage therapy options for such recurrences are limited and often suboptimal, partly owing to divergent tumor and microenvironmental factors underpinning radioresistance.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAnemia of Inflammation is a prevalent co-morbidity in patients with chronic inflammatory disorders. Inflammation causes hypoferremia and iron-restricted erythropoiesis by limiting Ferroportin (FPN)-mediated iron export from macrophages that recycle senescent erythrocytes. Macrophage cell surface expression of FPN is reduced by hepcidin-induced degradation and/or by repression of FPN (Slc40a1) transcription via cytokine and Toll-like receptor (TLR) stimulation.

Neuron conversion leads to proliferation inhibition of glioma cells and may be an effective strategy to combat glioma and prevent recurrence. In this study, drug repositioning based on Connectivity Map (CMap) was conducted to discover drugs that could induce the differentiation of glioma cells into neuron-like cells, complemented by in vitro experimental validation. Downregulated neuronal genes in glioma were identified by the Human Protein Atlas database and the GeneCards database, and enrichment analysis and Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) were performed to ensure their reliability before they were uploaded to CMap for drug screening.

The survival rate of patients with Ewing sarcoma (EWS) has seen very little improvement over the past several decades and remains dismal for those with recurrent or metastatic disease. HDAC2, ALK, JAK1, and CDK4 were identified as potential targets using RNA sequencing performed on EWS patient tumors with the bioinformatic analysis of gene expression. The pan-HDAC inhibitor Panobinostat was cytotoxic to all the Ewing sarcoma cell lines tested.
