Significance A critical challenge for chemotherapy is development of chemoresistance, but underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we found that drug-resistant adriamycin-resistant human breast cancer cells possessed numerous transient receptor potential channel 5 (TrpC5) -containing extracellular vesicles (EVs) on the cell surface. Suppressing TrpC5 expression diminished formation EVs. Incubation drug-sensitive recipient with EVs endowed recipients properties. both...

5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu) is commonly used in the chemotherapy of colorectal cancer (CRC), but resistance to 5-Fu occurs most cases, allowing progression. Suppressing ABCB1 (ATP-binding cassette, subfamily B, member 1), which a pump overproduced cells export cytotoxic drugs, an attractive strategy overcome drug resistance. In present study, transient receptor potential channel TrpC5 was found be at mRNA and protein levels together with 5-Fu-resistant human CRC HCT-8 (HCT-8/5-Fu) LoVo (LoVo/5-Fu)...

Abstract There is an urgent need to fully understand the biology of third generation EGFR‐tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR‐TKIs), particularly osimertinib, and develop mechanism‐driven strategies manage their acquired resistance. Transient receptor potential melastatin‐2 (TRPM2) functions as important regulator Ca 2+ influx, but its role in mediating therapeutic efficacies EGFR‐TKIs resistance has been rarely studied. This study demonstrated a previously undiscovered suppression TRPM2...

Abstract Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) immune checkpoint inhibitors are promising therapeutic agents for treating cancers but the response rate is <20%. Some chemotherapeutic drugs could also activate an anticancer to kill cancer cells, apart from their direct cytotoxicity. Our study investigated combination of with PD-L1 antibody enhance blockade. Non-small cell lung (NSCLC) cells were pre-treated mitomycin C (MMC) and then co-cultured peripheral blood mononuclear (PBMCs) investigate...

Commercial xylose purification produces mother liquor (XML) as a major byproduct, which has become an inexpensive and abundant carbon source. A portion of this XML been used to produce low-value-added products such caramel but the remainder often ends up organic pollutant. This issue industrial concern. In study, uracil-deficient Candida tropicalis strain was engineered efficiently convert commercially useful product xylitol.The xylitol dehydrogenase gene deleted block conversion xylulose....

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is an attractive target in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. However, the effectiveness of BTK inhibitors limited by side effects drug resistance. In this study, we report development novel proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) with different classes BTK-targeting ligands (e.g., spebrutinib) other than ibrutinib. Compound 23 was identified as a potent fast PROTAC degrader, exhibiting outstanding degradation potency efficiency Mino cells (DC50, 4 h = 1.29...

In cancer cells, intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis is altered, and this involved in tumor initiation, progression, metastasis. However, little known about the underlying mechanisms. Here, we report that transient receptor potential channel 5 (TrpC5), a receptor-activated non-selective channel, correlated with metastasis colon patients. Moreover, overexpression of TrpC5 caused robust rise concentration ([Ca2+]i), decreased E-cadherin, increased mesenchymal biomarker expression, then promoted...

Abstract Expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) on cancer cells is a critical mechanism contributing to immunosuppression and immune escape. PD-L1 expression may also affect therapeutic outcomes epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted therapy (e.g., with osimertinib/AZD9291) against EGFR-mutant non–small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) can even be altered during the treatment albeit largely undefined mechanisms. This study primarily focuses elucidating by which osimertinib...

The currently available antihypertensive agents have undesirable adverse effects due to systemically altering target activity including receptors, channels, and enzymes. These effects, such as loss of potassium ions induced by diuretics, bronchospasm beta-blockers, constipation Ca2+ channel blockers, dry cough ACEI, lead non-compliance with therapies (Moser, 1990). Here, based on new hypertension mechanisms, we explored a approach. We report that transient receptor potential vanilloid 4...

Dupilumab is approved as first-line systemic treatment for adults/adolescents with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in Europe and elsewhere owing to its favourable benefit-risk profile. However, non-steroidal immunosuppressants (NSISS) are often used therapy clinical practice. Impact of prior NSISS on dupilumab's effect vs. control has not been described previously. This study assessed efficacy patients AD, comparing with/without therapy, four phase 3 trials.This post hoc analysis...
