Here, we investigated the potential interaction between bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4), an established epigenetic modulator and transcriptional coactivator, and p63, a member of the p53 transcription factor family, essential for epithelial development and skin homeostasis. Our protein-protein interaction assays demonstrated a strong and conserved physical interaction between BRD4 and the p53 family members-p63, p73, and p53-suggesting a shared binding region among these proteins. While the role of BRD4 in cancer development through its interaction with p53 has been explored, the effects of BRD4 and Bromodomain and Extra Terminal (BET) inhibitors in non-transformed cells, such as keratinocytes, remain largely unknown.

Smart nanoplatforms designed for nuclear-targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to tumor sites are pivotal in advancing tumor treatment and immunotherapy. Herein, we introduced a novel nuclear-targeting double-shell smart nanoplatform (HMCuS/Pt/ICG@MnO@9R-P201 (HMCPIM9P)), which synergistically enhances chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), immunotherapy and chemodynamic therapy (CDT). The core of this nanoplatform consists of double-shell multifunctional nanoparticles (HMCuS@MnO) that enable targeted delivery of the photosensitizer Indocyanine Green (ICG) and the chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin (Pt).

Background: Gastric cancer is among the common solid tumors. Chemotherapy resistance is the most common issue in gastric cancer treatment. Inhibiting intracellular autophagy may be a feasible method for overcoming chemotherapy resistance.

Therapy resistance in breast cancer is increasingly attributed to polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs), which arise through whole-genome doubling and exhibit heightened resilience to standard treatments. Characterized by enlarged nuclei and increased DNA content, these cells tend to be dormant under therapeutic stress, driving disease relapse. Despite their critical role in resistance, strategies to effectively target PGCCs are limited, largely due to the lack of high-throughput methods for assessing their viability.
