Regulatory T (Treg) cells are one of the major immunosuppressive cell types in cancer and a potential target for immunotherapy, but targeting tumor-infiltrating (TI) Treg has been challenging. Here, using single-cell RNA sequencing immune from renal clear carcinoma (ccRCC) patients, we identify two distinct transcriptional fates TI cells, Fate-1 Fate-2. The signature is associated with poorer prognosis ccRCC several other solid cancers. CD177, surface protein normally expressed on...

Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive malignancy with limited therapeutic options. The dismal prognosis in SCLC part associated upregulation of BCL-2 family anti-apoptotic proteins, including BCL-XL and MCL-1. Unfortunately, the currently available inhibitors except inhibitors, are not clinically relevant because various on-target toxicities. We, therefore, aimed to develop effective safe strategy targeting these proteins DT2216 (our platelet-sparing degrader) AZD8055 (an mTOR...

Abstract Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play an important role in maintaining immune homeostasis and, within tumors, their upregulation is common and promotes immunosuppressive microenvironment. Therapeutic strategies that can eliminate Tregs the tumor (i.e., therapies do not run risk of affecting normal tissues), are urgently needed for development cancer immunotherapies. Here we report our discovery B-cell lymphoma extra-large (BCL-X L ) as a potential molecular target tumor-infiltrating (TI)...

A ketone-assisted ruthenium-catalyzed selective amination of xanthones and chromones C–H bonds with sulfonyl azides is described. The reactions proceed efficiently a broad range substrates excellent functional group compatibility. This protocol provides direct access to 1-aminoxanthones, 5-aminochromones, 5-aminoflavonoid derivatives known exhibit potent anticancer activity.

We previously discovered a novel sirtuin (SIRT) inhibitor, MHY2256, that exerts anticancer activity through p53 acetylation in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. investigated the of MHY2256 against hormone-related cancer, an endometrial with poor prognosis. The IC50 values were shown to be much lower than those salermide, well-known SIRT inhibitor. Furthermore, significantly reduced protein expression and activities SIRT1, 2, 3, similar effects salermide. Particularly, markedly inhibited tumor...
