Effective therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are urgently needed, as it is a type of cancer resistant to chemotherapy. Recent evidence showed that PF-429242, a membrane-bound transcription factor site-1 protease (MBTPS1) inhibitor, exhibited anticancer activities against glioblastomas, renal cell carcinoma, and pancreatic cancer. However, its anticancer activity against HCC has yet to be investigated.

Despite the therapeutic advancement with chemotherapy and targeted therapy against non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), most patients ultimately develop resistance to these drugs, exhibiting disease progression, metastasis, and worse prognosis. There is, therefore, a need for the development of novel multi-targeted therapies that can offer a high therapeutic index with lesser chances of drug resistance against NSCLC. In the present study, we evaluated the therapeutic potential of a novel multi-target small molecule NLOC-015A for targeted treatment of NSCLC.

Head and neck squamous carcinoma (HNSCC) affects more than half a million individuals and ranks the ninth leading cause of death globally each year. Many patients develop treatment resistance leading to poor clinical outcomes. The poor treatment responses are in part due to the heterogeneity of HNSCC tumor and tumor microenvironment (TME).

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of leukemia with an aggressive phenotype, that commonly occurs in adults and with disappointing treatment outcomes. Genetic alterations were implicated in the etiology of cancers and form the basis for defining patient prognoses and guiding targeted therapies. In the present study, we leveraged bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing datasets from AML patients to determine the clinical significance of Fms-related receptor tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) alterations on the T-cell phenotype and immune response of AML patients.

Article Synopsis
  • The PI3K/AKT/mTOR and MEK/ERK signaling pathways are vital for normal body functions, and their deregulation is linked to various cancers, highlighting the need for better targeted therapies.
  • A new molecule, NSC777213, shows strong anti-cancer effects across multiple human tumor cell lines, especially in chemoresistant ovarian cancers, suggesting it could be a promising alternative to existing treatments.
  • NSC777213 demonstrates a potent ability to inhibit key proteins in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR/MEK pathways, making it a potential candidate for further preclinical testing as a cancer treatment.
