Acquired resistance to oxaliplatin is considered as the primary reason for failure in colorectal cancer (CRC) therapy. Identifying the underlying resistance mechanisms may improve CRC treatment. The present study aims to identify the key genes involved in acquired oxaliplatin-resistant in CRC by confirming the oxaliplatin resistance index (OX-RI). To this aim, two public microarray datasets regarding oxaliplatin-resistant CRC cells with different OX-RI, GSE42387, and GSE76092 were downloaded from GEO database to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The results indicated that the OX-RI affects the gene expression pattern significantly. Then, 54 common DEGs in both datasets including 18 up- and 36 down-regulated genes were identified. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis revealed 13 up- (MAGEA6, TGM2, MAGEA4, SCHIP1, ECI2, CD33, AKAP12, MAGEA12, CALD1, WFDC2, VSNL1, HMGA2, and MAGEA2B) and 12 down-regulated (PDZK1IP1, FXYD3, ALDH2, CEACAM6, QPRT, GRB10, TM4SF4, LGALS4, ALDH3A1, USH1C, KCNE3, and CA12) hub genes. In the next step, two novel up-regulated hub genes including ECI2 and SCHIP1 were identified to be related to oxaliplatin resistance. Functional enrichment and pathway analysis indicated that metabolic pathways, proliferation, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition may play dominant roles in CRC progression and oxaliplatin resistance. In the next procedure, two in vitro oxaliplatin-resistant sub-lines including HCT116/OX-R4.3 and HCT116/OX-R10 cells with OX-IR 3.93 and 10.06 were established, respectively. The results indicated the up-regulation of TGM2 and HMGA2 in HCT116/OX-R10 cells with high OX-RI and down-regulation of FXYD3, LGALS4, and ECI2 in both cell types. Based on the results, TGM2, HMGA2, FXYD3, and LGALS4 genes are related to oxaliplatin-resistant CRC and may serve as novel therapeutic targets.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are crucial for the detection of infections and activation of downstream signaling pathways that lead to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and interferons. Because of their strong immunostimulatory activity, TLRs are thought to be a "double-edged sword" for systemic treatment, even in the cancer field. To solve this, we have developed dextran-based TAM targeting activator conjugate (D-TAC) technology which successfully uses tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) to deliver the TLR7 agonist DSP-0509.

Screening and molecular mechanism research on bile microRNAs associated with chemotherapy efficacy in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma.

The efficacy of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) with oxaliplatin (OXA) and 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) for treating advanced perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) has been demonstrated, yet the survival benefits of HAIC for pCCA patients vary. Here, we aimed to screen out HAIC resistance-related bile microRNAs (miRNAs) and explore the functions of specific bile miRNAs in pCCA based on high-throughput sequencing. Levels of bile miR-532-3p, miR-1250-5p, and miR-4772-5p were related to the survival of advanced pCCA patients after HAIC.

What happened to BBR3464 and where to from here for multinuclear platinum-based anticancer drugs?

The development of the trinuclear platinum(II) complex BBR3464 (also known as triplatin) in the late 1990s was meant to be a revolution in the field of platinum chemotherapy. What made it remarkable was that it defied many of the known structure-activity rules for platinums; it is cationic, has a single labile leaving group on each terminal platinum, and it binds DNA in ways different to mononuclear platinum drugs, like cisplatin and oxaliplatin. The flexible, long-range adducts the drug forms with DNA means that it showed activity in cancers not typically sensitive to platinums, and more importantly, BBR3464 demonstrated an ability to overcome acquired resistance to platinum drugs.

Background: Oxaliplatin is a commonly used platinum-based chemotherapy drug for patients with pancreatic cancer (PC). Drug resistance is a major challenge in PC treatment, underscoring the urgent need for new approaches. Targeting DNA damage repair, one of the factors responsible for platinum resistance, is an attractive strategy to overcome drug resistance.
