This study provides evidence to support the concept proposed by Kimura et al. in 2023 that the inhibitors of SP1, MYC, and HIF1A should induce strong anticancer activity by reducing the expression of stem cell-related proteins. In LN229 and U87MG glioblastoma cells, either tetra-methyl-O-nordihydroguaiaretic acid (MN) or tetra-acetyl-O-nordihydroguaiaretic acid (AN) suppressed SP1 and only a few stem cell-related proteins and induced only a small amount of cell death; in contrast, the combination treatment of MN with AN greatly suppressed the expression of SP1, MYC, and HIF1A, as well as all of the stem cell-related proteins examined, and greatly induced cell death. The bioinformatic analysis showed that the proteins associated with SP1, MYC, and HIF1A were specifically involved in the regulation of transcription and that various microRNAs (miRNAs) that had been shown to induce either anti- or procancer activity were associated with SP1, MYC, and HIF1A, which suggested that the inhibition of SP1, MYC, and HIF1A could modulate the transcription of both coding and noncoding RNAs and affect cancers. These data overall supported our concept.

Alkaloids, a diverse class of naturally occurring compounds, have shown significant potential in the treatment of leukemia by targeting key molecular pathways and cellular mechanisms. This review discusses several potent alkaloids, such as homoharringtonine, chaetominine, matrine, and jerantinine B, which induce apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and autophagy and inhibit signaling pathways including PI3K/Akt/mTOR, MAPK, and NF-κB. For instance, homoharringtonine induces apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells via the SP1/TET1/5hmC/FLT3/MYC axis, while chaetominine enhances chemosensitivity by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 pathway.

Background: Patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) generally have poor prognosis. The role of striatin-interacting protein 2 (STRIP2) in LUAD remain unclear.
Methods: Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses were used to screen the STRIP2-binding proteins and co-immunoprecipitation verified these interactions.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a debilitating vascular disorder characterized by abnormal pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) proliferation and collagen synthesis, contributing to vascular remodeling and elevated pulmonary vascular resistance. This study investigated the critical role of 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase/inosine monophosphate cyclohydrolase (ATIC) in cell proliferation and collagen synthesis in PASMCs in PAH. Here we show that ATIC levels are significantly increased in the lungs of monocrotaline (MCT)-induced PAH rat model, hypoxia-induced PAH mouse model, and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-stimulated PASMCs.

Introduction: Cross-talk among biological pathways is essential for normal biological function and plays a significant role in cancer progression. Through integrated network analysis, this study explores the significance of pathway cross-talk in colorectal cancer (CRC) development at both the pathway and gene levels.
Methods: In this study, we integrated the gene expression data with domain knowledge to construct state-dependent pathway cross-talk networks.
