The use of small molecular modulators to target the guanine nucleotide exchange factor SOS1 has been demonstrated to be a promising strategy for the treatment of various KRAS-driven cancers. In the present study, we designed and synthesized a series of new SOS1 inhibitors with the pyrido[2,3-]pyrimidin-7-one scaffold. One representative compound showed comparable activities to the reported SOS1 inhibitor BI-3406 in both the biochemical assay and the 3-D cell growth inhibition assay. Compound obtained good cellular activities against a panel of KRAS G12-mutated cancer cell lines and inhibited downstream ERK and AKT activation in MIA PaCa-2 and AsPC-1 cells. In addition, it displayed synergistic antiproliferative effects when used in combination with KRAS G12C or G12D inhibitors. Further modifications of the new compounds may give us a promising SOS1 inhibitor with favorable druglike properties for use in the treatment of KRAS-mutated patients.

Background: Approximately 30% of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients which harbor no recognizable oncogenic driver mutation are not eligible for targeted therapy. Functional drug screening of tumor cells helps to identify susceptible drug targets not recognized by gene panels for targeted mutation analysis. The aim of this study is to characterize the BH1406 cell line carrying an activating SOS1 mutation and to check its sensitivity to cognate inhibitors.

Small molecules that possess the ability to regulate the interactions between Son of Sevenless 1 (SOS1) and Kristen rat sarcoma (KRAS) offer immense potential in the realm of cancer therapy. In this study, we present a novel series of SOS1 inhibitors featuring a tricyclic quinazoline scaffold. Notably, we have identified compound 8d, which demonstrates the highest potency with an IC value of 5.

Objective: To study the influences of LncRNA H19 (H19) on malignant liver tumor cells and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms.
Methods: H19 expression in liver tumor tissues, matched normal liver tissues, human liver malignant tumor cell lines and the human hepatocyte line LO2 was assessed via quantitative RT-PCR. Cell viability analysis and Matrigel invasion analysis were performed to evaluate the effects of H19 on cell proliferation and invasion.

In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutations are found in up to 30% of all cases, with the most prevalent mutations occurring in codons 12 and 13. The development of -targeted drugs like sotorasib and adagrasib has generated significant excitement in the clinical arena, offering new therapeutic options. Their potential for combination with other treatments broadens the scope for clinical exploration.

Acquired resistance to hormonal therapy, particularly enzalutamide (ENZ), remains a significant obstacle in the treatment of advanced bone metastatic prostate cancer. Here, it is demonstrated that under ENZ treatment, osteoblasts in the bone microenvironment secrete increased levels of extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1), which affects surrounding prostate cancer cells, promoting tumor cell proliferation and anti-androgen resistance. Mechanistically, ECM1 interacts with the enolase 1 (ENO1) receptor on the prostate cancer cell membrane, leading to its phosphorylation at the Y189 site.
