Cigarette smoking has been investigated as a major risk factor for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) is one of the most abundant carcinogenic N -nitrosamines present in cigarette smoke. However, association between repair capacity NNK-induced DNA damage and RCC remains unknown. We used comet assay to assess whether sensitivity NNK precursor 4-[(acetoxymethyl) nitrosamino]-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNKOAc) induced damage, which partly reflects...

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-activating mutation is an important oncogenic driver of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Osimertinib has been the first-line treatment for EGFR-mutated NSCLC. However, tertiary C797S leads to resistance by blocking covalent binding Cys797 Osimertinib. To date, there are no approved inhibitors resistance. Herein, we identified a novel lead compound S8 targeting EGFRL858R/T790M/C797S structure-based virtual screening and synthesized series...

Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a fatal disease characterized by bleak prognosis. For over four decades, treatment options for AML have been constrained to administering high-dose cytotoxic chemotherapy. However, the emergence of drug resistance and resultant toxic side effects created an urgent necessity identifying novel therapeutic targets. In this study, non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase type 2 (PTPN2) highly expressed in AML. Remarkably, knock down PTPN2 expression...
