Src homology-2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2) plays a dual role in cancer initiation and progression. Identifying signals that modulate the function of SHP2 can improve current therapeutic approaches for IFN-α/β in HCC. We showed that cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) suppresses IFN-α/β-induced JAK/STAT signaling by increasing the phosphatase activity of SHP2, promoting the dissociation of SHP2 from the receptor for activated C-kinase 1 (RACK1) and binding to STAT1.

Interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) is specifically overexpressed in multiple myeloma (MM) and mediates MM progression and survival, making it an emerging target for MM treatment. However, no chemical entity with a defined structure capable of directly binding to and inhibiting IRF4 has been reported. We screened our small library of steroid analogs and identified bisnoralcohol (BA) derivative 18 as a novel hit compound capable of inhibiting IRF4, with an IC of 13.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which are multipotent adult cells with many therapeutic effects, can be derived from stromal tissues. MSCs also exert immunoregulatory effects through extracellular vesicles (EVs), cell membrane structures that carry paracrine factors. It is thought that the mediators (cytokines, growth factors, etc.

Interferons (IFNs) are cytokines involved in the immune response with a synergistic regulatory effect on the immune response. They are therapeutics for various viral and proliferative conditions, with proven safety and efficacy. Their clinical application is challenging due to the molecules' size, degradation, and pharmacokinetics.

Interferon alpha (IFNα) leads to therapeutic effects on various tumors, especially renal cell cancer (RCC), by directly protecting against tumors cell proliferation or indirectly inducing an anti-tumor immune response. However, new combination therapies are needed to enhance the efficacy of IFNα and reduce its adverse effects during long-term treatment. In this study, we found that the anti-proliferative effects of IFNα on RCC cells in vitro and in vivo were greater after the allosteric inhibition of SHP2 by SHP099 than after treatment with enzymatic inhibitors of SHP2.
