Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of primary liver cancer, and it usually occurs following chronic liver disease. Although some progress has been made in the treatment of HCC, the prognosis of patients with advanced HCC is not optimistic, mainly because of the inevitable development of drug resistance. Therefore, multi-target kinase inhibitors for the treatment of HCC, such as sorafenib, lenvatinib, cabozantinib, and regorafenib, produce small clinical benefits for patients with HCC. It is necessary to study the mechanism of kinase inhibitor resistance and explore possible solutions to overcome this resistance to improve clinical benefits. In this study, we reviewed the mechanisms of resistance to multi-target kinase inhibitors in HCC and discussed strategies that can be used to improve treatment outcomes.

Objective: Cognitive impairment (CI) is highly prevalent in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway plays a critical role in neuronal survival in a variety of central nervous system injuries. This study aimed to determine whether electroacupuncture (EA) at and LI20 ameliorates SAH-CI in a rat model and to examine whether it modulates the PI3K/AKT pathway by administering a PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) versus dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) vehicle.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of primary liver cancer with poor prognosis. Sorafenib, a first-line treatment for advanced HCC, has shown limited clinical benefits due to the onset of drug resistance. Thus, it is imperative to comprehend the mechanisms underlying sorafenib resistance and explore strategies to overcome or delay it.

Objective: This single-centre retrospective study aims to determine the incidence of therapy-induced surgical benefit in patients with non-metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) treated with neoadjuvant tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and evaluate whether this can be predicted by radiological response criteria.

Methods: Thirty-nine non-metastatic GIST patients were treated with neoadjuvant TKI treatment, followed by curative-intended surgery, and monitored using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT). Surgical benefit was independently assessed by two surgical oncologists and was defined by de-escalation of surgical strategy or reduced surgical complexity.

Two series of indolo[1,2-]quinolines (IQs), comprising six 6-trifluoromethylthio indolo[1,2-]quinolines and nine 6-arenesulfonyl indolo[1,2-]quinolines, were screened for their inhibitory activity against EGFR tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK) using the ADP-Glo™ kinase assay. Among the 15 IQs screened, four compounds exhibited cytotoxic activity against a lung cancer cell line (A549) that was as potent as the known drug afatinib with lower cytotoxicity in Vero cells. In addition, while they displayed cytotoxic activity against a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell line (SCC cells), they were inactive against a colorectal cancer cell line (LS174T cells).

Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) are established oncogenic drivers in various solid tumors. However, the approved FGFR inhibitors face challenges with acquired resistance and dose-limiting adverse effects associated with FGFR1/4 inhibition, limiting therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we systematically explored linker and electrophile moieties based on the pyrrolopyrazine carboxamide core and identified aniline α-fluoroacrylamide as an effective covalent warhead.
