Abstract Purpose: Given that histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are known to induce multiple epigenetic modifications affecting signaling networks and act synergistically with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors, we developed a strategy simultaneously inhibit HDACs PI3K in cancer cells. Experimental Design: We constructed dual-acting by incorporating HDAC inhibitory functionality into inhibitor pharmacophore. CUDC-907, development candidate selected from these dual was...

Abstract Oxaliplatin is the main chemotherapy drug for gastric cancer (GC), but quite a few patients are resistant to oxaliplatin, which contributes poor prognosis of GC patients. There therefore an urgent need identify potential targets reversing resistance in In this study, we analyzed tumor samples who received neoadjuvant based on oxaliplatin through quantitative proteomics and identified chemoresistance-related protein cellular retinoic acid binding 2 (CRABP2). CRABP2 was significantly...

Abstract CUDC-305 is a heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitor of the novel imidazopyridine class. Here, we report its activities in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) lines with gene deregulations conferring primary or secondary resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors. We show that binds strongly HSP90 extracted from erlotinib-resistant NSCLC cells (IC50 70 nmol/L). This result correlates well potent antiproliferative activity 120–700 nmol/L) reported previously....

Mechanisms of unassisted delivery RNA therapeutics, including inhibitors microRNAs, remain poorly understood. We observed that the hepatocellular carcinoma cell line SKHEP1 retains productive free uptake a miR-21 inhibitor (anti-miR-21). Uptake anti-miR-21, but not mismatch (MM) control, induces expression known targets (DDAH1, ANKRD46) and leads to dose-dependent inhibition growth. To elucidate mechanisms sensitivity we conducted an unbiased shRNA screen revealed tumor susceptibility gene...

Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignant tumor with poor prognosis. However, its pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated, accounting for overall survival. Circular RNA (circRNA) class of noncoding RNAs discovered many years ago. Only recently have they re-evaluated their important roles in the regulation gene expression. Studies confirmed that circRNAs biological functions variety tumors. This study aimed to characterize one circRNA derived from MBOAT2 and termed it...

Cholestatic liver diseases are characterized by excessive bile acid accumulation in the liver. Endothelial cells (ECs) shape local microenvironment both normal conditions and injury, yet their role cholestasis is unclear. Through a comparative analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing data from various murine models we identify distinctive Myc activation within ECs during obstructive resulting duct ligation (BDL). overexpression significantly upregulates P-selectin, increasing neutrophil...

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a fatal syndrome associated with massive hepatocyte death. Previous studies have found that Farnesyltransferase (FTase) inhibitors improve disease progression in mouse models of endotoxemia, sepsis, and autoimmune hepatitis. PANoptosis novel type programmed cell death (PCD), including pyroptosis, apoptosis, necrosis, plays an important role ALF. This study was designed investigated whether the FTase inhibitor PD083176 (d2,d3,d5) could attenuate ALF by modulating...
