Influenza-related acute lung injury is a life-threatening condition primarily caused by uncontrolled replication of the influenza virus and intense proinflammatory responses. Cereblon (CRBN) is a protein known for its role in the ubiquitin-proteasome system and as a target of the drug thalidomide. However, the function of CRBN in influenza virus infection remains poorly understood.

The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is essential for cellular homeostasis, regulating the degradation of proteins involved in key processes such as cell cycle, apoptosis, and DNA repair. Dysregulation of the UPS is implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), contributing to tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. The cereblon (CRBN) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex is a crucial component of the UPS, particularly in modulating protein degradation in response to small-molecule modulators like thalidomide.

Objective: Combining immune checkpoint inhibitors and antiangiogenic agents offers a promising strategy to counteract the cooperative promotion of solid tumor growth by immune checkpoints and intratumoral angiogenesis.
Methods: We investigated the potential of thalidomide (THD) and anti-PD-1 antibody (PD-1 mAb) in suppressing tumor growth, enhancing immunity, and inhibiting angiogenesis.
Results: THD exhibited regulatory effects on PD-1 in CD4+ T cells and PD-L1 in cancer cells, along with tumor growth inhibition in A549 and Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cell lines.

Radiation therapy is widely recognized as an efficacious modality for treating neoplasms located within the craniofacial region. Nevertheless, this approach is not devoid of risks, predominantly concerning potential harm to the neural structures. Adverse effects may encompass focal cerebral necrosis, cognitive function compromise, cerebrovascular pathology, spinal cord injury, and detriment to the neural fibers constituting the brachial plexus.
