Purpose: ARO-HIF2 is an siRNA drug designed to selectively target hypoxia-inducible factor-2α (HIF2α) interrupting downstream pro-oncogenic signaling in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The aims of this Phase 1 study (AROHIF21001) were to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and establish a recommended Phase 2 dose.

Patients And Methods: Subjects with ccRCC and progressive disease after at least 2 prior therapies that included VEGF and immune checkpoint inhibitors were progressively enrolled into dose-escalation cohorts of ARO-HIF2 administered intravenously at 225, 525, or 1,050 mg weekly.

GPX3 supports ovarian cancer tumor progression and promotes expression of GDF15.

Objective: We previously reported that high expression of the extracellular glutathione peroxidase GPX3 is associated with poor patient outcome in ovarian serous adenocarcinomas, and that GPX3 protects ovarian cancer cells from oxidative stress in culture. Here we tested if GPX3 is necessary for tumor establishment and to identify novel downstream mediators of GPX3's pro-tumorigenic function.

Methods: GPX3 was knocked-down in ID8 ovarian cancer cells by shRNA to test the role of GPX3 in tumor establishment using a syngeneic IP xenograft model.

Article Synopsis
  • PTX3 is a protein that can help or hurt cancer, especially in a tough type called triple negative breast cancer (TNBC).
  • Researchers studied how PTX3 behaves in TNBC cells and found that more PTX3 makes the cancer grow faster and act more aggressive.
  • Decreasing PTX3 levels makes TNBC cells less aggressive, suggesting it plays a big role in how the cancer develops.
