RNA contains more than 170 types of chemical modifications, and these modified nucleosides are recognized, installed and removed by their reader, writer, and eraser (RWE) proteins, respectively. Here, we employed a parallel-reaction monitoring (PRM)-based targeted proteomic method, in conjunction with stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC), to examine comprehensively the differential expression of epitranscriptomic RWE proteins in a matched pair of primary/metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, namely SW480/SW620. We were able to quantify 113 nonredundant epitranscriptomic RWE proteins; among them, 48 and 5 were up- and down-regulated by >1.5-fold in SW620 over SW480 cells, respectively. Some of those proteins with marked up-regulation in metastatic CRC cells, including NAT10, hnRNPC, and DKC1, were documented to assume important roles in the metastasis of CRC and other types of cancer. Interrogation of the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium data revealed the involvement of DUS1L in the initiation and metastatic transformation of CRC. It can be envisaged that the PRM method can be utilized, in the future, to identify epitranscriptomic RWE proteins involved in the metastatic transformations of other types of cancer.

Objective: Etrasimod is an oral, once-daily, selective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). S1P receptor expression on cardiac cells is involved in cardiac conduction. We report cardiovascular treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) associated with S1P receptor modulators and other cardiovascular events in the etrasimod UC clinical programme.

Background: Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) is a condition due to maternal blood group antibodies targeting antigens in fetal red blood cells, with significant prenatal/perinatal morbidity and mortality. Severe HDFN cases are often associated with alloimmunization against Rhesus D (RhD) or Kell antigens. Information about HDFN epidemiology and treatment in Latin American countries is limited.

Article Synopsis
  • Interleukin-23 inhibition is a promising treatment for ulcerative colitis, and guselkumab serves as a potent inhibitor targeting this pathway, aiming to assess its safety and effectiveness for patients who have not responded to traditional therapies.
  • The study included two phase 3 trials where adults with moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis were randomly assigned to receive guselkumab or a placebo, with a focus on clinical remission as the main outcome at specific time points.
  • Results showed that a significantly higher number of patients receiving guselkumab achieved clinical remission compared to those on placebo, highlighting its potential as an effective therapy for managing ulcerative colitis.

Introduction: We aimed to compare pregnancy outcomes of women with inflammatory bowel disease using biosimilar vs originator infliximab (IFX).

Methods: In a prospective cohort of pregnant women with inflammatory bowel disease, we collected characteristics, medications, pregnancy outcomes, and developmental milestones. We compared outcomes by IFX biosimilar or originator use via bivariate statistics.

Background: Alpelisib, a PI3Kα-selective inhibitor and degrader, plus fulvestrant showed efficacy in hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative, PIK3CA-mutated advanced breast cancer in SOLAR-1; limited data are available in the post-cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor setting. BYLieve aimed to assess alpelisib plus endocrine therapy in this setting in three cohorts defined by immediate previous treatment; here, we report results from cohort A.

Methods: This ongoing, phase 2, multicentre, open-label, non-comparative study enrolled patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative, advanced breast cancer with tumour PIK3CA mutation, following progression on or after previous therapy, including CDK4/6 inhibitors, from 114 study locations (cancer centres, medical centres, university hospitals, and hospitals) in 18 countries worldwide.
