  • How Osteopontin Stimulates Mitochondrial Biogenesis and Cancer Metastasis
    Mitochondrial biogenesis, the process of increasing the size and number of mitochondria within cells, plays a crucial role in cancer metastasis. Metastasizing cells exhibit a unique metabolism that differs from the well-known Warburg effect observed in primary tumors. While primary tumors primarily rely on glycolysis for energy production, metastatic cells rely on oxidative phosphorylation and ATP generation for short-term energy needs. However, over longer time frames, mitochondrial biogenesis becomes a prominent feature in the success of metastasis.
    In a new study, researchers Gulimirerouzi Fnu and Georg F. Weber from the University of Cincinnati’s James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy investigate the connection between short-term oxidative metabolism and long-term mitochondrial biogenesis in cancer metastasis. They hypothesized that Osteopontin splice variants, specifically Osteopontin-c, stimulate an increase in mitochondrial size through the activation of specific signaling mechanisms. On December 1, 2023, their new research paper was published in Oncotarget, entitled, “Osteopontin induces mitochondrial biogenesis in deadherent cancer cells.”

  • One More Step Toward Treatment of PARP Inhibitor-resistant Ovarian Cancers
    BUFFALO, NY- January 10, 2024 – A new #editorial paper was #published in Oncotarget's Volume 14 on December 22, 2023, entitled, “One more step toward treatment of PARP inhibitor-resistant ovarian cancers.”
    Over 80% of ovarian cancer cases experience recurrence, resulting in roughly 12,000 annual deaths in the United States. While targeted therapies like poly (ADPribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) have received FDA approval for both initial and recurrent treatments, extending median progression-free survival for individuals with homologous recombination repair (HRR) deficiency, the emergence of PARPi resistance remains a common challenge among patients. Consequently, addressing resistance to PARPi treatment in ovarian cancer has become a pressing therapeutic dilemma, necessitating innovative strategies.
    In this editorial, researchers Upasana Ray, Prabhu Thirusangu and Viji Shridhar from Mayo Clinic School of Medicine and Science responded to this unmet need with their current study, which unveiled promising findings related to the Pixatimod (PG545) drug, a sulfated small molecule compound. Engineered with a core structure mimicking heparan sulfate, this compound targets heparanase and heparin binding growth factor (HB-GF) signaling.
    “Our present study has revealed a previously unknown effect of PG545 in ovarian cancer cells, inducing DNA damage. The investigation unveiled that PG545 induces both single- and double-strand breaks in DNA while also promoting the autophagic degradation of RAD51, a critical DNA repair protein, thereby impeding the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway in cancer cells.”

  • Transformation-associated Recombination (TAR) Cloning and Its Applications
    BUFFALO, NY- January 8, 2024 – A new #review paper was #published in Oncotarget's Volume 14 on December 22, 2023, entitled, “Transformation-associated recombination (TAR) cloning and its applications for gene function; genome architecture and evolution; biotechnology and biomedicine.”
    Transformation-associated recombination (TAR) cloning represents a unique tool to selectively and efficiently recover a given chromosomal segment up to several hundred kb in length from complex genomes (such as animals and plants) and simple genomes (such as bacteria and viruses). The technique exploits a high level of homologous recombination in the yeast Sacharomyces cerevisiae.
    “TAR cloning has become a valuable procedure for the selective and efficient isolation and manipulation of large DNA molecules. [...] The ability to isolate individual gene alleles will help to clarify whether a particular allele is associated with predisposition to different diseases, including cancer.”
    In this new review, researchers Natalay Kouprina and Vladimir Larionov from the National Cancer Institute's Developmental Therapeutics Branch summarized multiple applications of the pioneering TAR cloning technique, developed previously for complex genomes, for functional, evolutionary, and structural studies, and extended the modified TAR versions to isolate biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) from microbes, which are the major source of pharmacological agents and industrial compounds, and to engineer synthetic viruses with novel properties to design a new generation of vaccines. TAR cloning was adapted as a reliable method for the assembly of synthetic microbe genomes for fundamental research.
    “In this review, we also discuss how the TAR cloning in combination with HAC (human artificial chromosome)- and CRISPR-based technologies may contribute to the future.”

  • Therapeutically Harnessing Cancer Stem Cell-derived Exosomes
    BUFFALO, NY- January 3, 2024 – A new #editorial paper was #published in Oncotarget's Volume 14 on December 20, 2023, entitled, “Therapeutically harnessing cancer stem cell-derived exosomes.”
    In this editorial, researcher Yong Teng from Emory University discusses cancer stem cell-derived exosomes. Cancer stem cells (CSCs), a small population of cancer cells capable of self-renewal, are thought to serve as a central hub for tumor initiation, growth, metastasis, and recurrence. The potential for using CSCs in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer is gaining recognition. Exosomes are formed when multivesicular endosomes or multivesicular bodies fuse with the outer membrane of the cell, releasing various components such as DNA, RNA, lipids, metabolites, and cytosolic and cell surface proteins.
    “Over the past decade, our understanding of the characteristics and function of cancer-associated exosomes has expanded rapidly.”
    As the major messengers, exosomes present in the tumor microenvironment (TME) play a critical role in maintaining the delicate balance between CSCs and non-CSCs. Given the importance of CSCs, it is reasonable to believe that CSC-derived exosomes (CSC-Exos) are essential for communication between CSCs and other cells in the TME. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that CSC-Exos contribute significantly to almost all fundamental aspects of cancer, including maintaining a continuous cycle of self-renewal within the TME, exerting control over neighboring or distant cells, enabling cancer cells to evade immune surveillance, and promoting immune tolerance.
    “A deeper understanding of the characteristics and functions of CSC-Exos has the potential to lay the foundation for the development of novel clinical tools for diagnosis and prognosis, as well as therapies aimed at preventing tumor progression and recurrence.”

  • GFH009: A Potent and Highly Selective CDK9 Inhibitor for the Treatment of Hematologic Malignancies
    BUFFALO, NY- December 27, 2023 – A new #research paper was #published in Oncotarget's Volume 14 on December 20, 2023, entitled, “The pharmacodynamic and mechanistic foundation for the antineoplastic effects of GFH009, a potent and highly selective CDK9 inhibitor for the treatment of hematologic malignancies.”
    To evade cell cycle controls, malignant cells rely upon rapid expression of select proteins to mitigate pro-apoptotic signals resulting from damage caused by both cancer treatments and unchecked over-proliferation. Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9)-dependent signaling induces transcription of downstream oncogenes promoting tumor growth, especially in hyperproliferative ‘oncogene-addicted’ cancers, such as human hematological malignancies (HHMs). In this new study, researchers Fusheng Zhou, Lili Tang, Siyuan Le, Mei Ge, Dragan Cicic, Fubo Xie, Jinmin Ren, Jiong Lan, and Qiang Lu from GenFleet Therapeutics Inc. and Sellas Life Sciences Group aimed to summarize current knowledge underlying the mechanism of action (MOA) of GFH009 and explain its robust anti-cancer activity.
    “Understanding GFH009’s MOA allows for a more optimal clinical development path, given the potential for meaningful benefits in patients with hematological malignancies.”
    GFH009, a potent, highly selective CDK9 small molecule inhibitor, demonstrated antiproliferative activity in assorted HHM-derived cell lines, inducing apoptosis at IC50 values below 0.2 μM in 7/10 lines tested. GFH009 inhibited tumor growth at all doses compared to controls and induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner.
    Twice-weekly injections of GFH009 maleate at 10 mg/kg significantly prolonged the survival of MV-4-11 xenograft-bearing rodents, while their body weight remained stable. There was marked reduction of MCL-1 and c-MYC protein expression post-drug exposure both in vitro and in vivo. Through rapid ‘on-off’ CDK9 inhibition, GFH009 exerts a proapoptotic effect on HHM preclinical models triggered by dynamic deprivation of crucial cell survival signals.
    “Our results mechanistically establish CDK9 as a targetable vulnerability in assorted HHMs and, along with the previously shown superior class kinome selectivity of GFH009 vs other CDK9 inhibitors, strongly support the rationale for currently ongoing clinical studies with this agent in acute myeloid leukemia and other HHMs.”

  • Management of Refractory or Relapsed Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma in Brazil
    BUFFALO, NY- December 20, 2023 – A new #review paper was #published in Oncotarget's Volume 14 on December 12, 2023, entitled, “Current perspectives on the management of refractory or relapsed classic hodgkin lymphoma in Brazil: Balancing efficacy, safety, and tolerability.”
    Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL), which accounts for 90–95% of all cases of Hodgkin lymphoma, is the most frequent cancer in adolescents and the most frequent lymphoma in adolescents and young adults. Despite progressive improvements over past decades and the general sensitivity of CHL to frontline chemotherapy, approximately 10–15% of patients have refractory disease that either does not respond to such therapy or progresses after an initial partial response.
    In patients with refractory or relapsed disease, standard treatment until recently consisted mainly of salvage chemotherapy, in many cases followed by high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem-cell transplantation. However, improved understanding of the pathobiology of CHL, coupled with the introduction of novel agents, has markedly changed the treatment landscape in the past decade. Although refractory or relapsed CHL continues to be challenging, the therapeutic landscape is undergoing profound changes brought about by novel agents, particularly brentuximab vedotin and immunotherapy.
    In this new review, researchers Flávia Dias Xavier, Danielle Leão Cordeiro de Farias, Abrahão Elias Hallack Neto, Glaciano Nogueira Ribeiro, Marco Aurelio Salvino de Araujo, Thiago Xavier Carneiro, and Otavio Cesar Carvalho Guimarães Baiocchi from Hospital Universitário de Brasília-Universidade de Brasília/Ebserh, Hospital DF Star, Hospital A Beneficência Portuguesa de São Paulo, Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, Clínica Hematológica/Grupo Oncoclinicas, Universidade Federal da Bahia, Instituto D'Or de Pesquisa e Ensino, Universidade Estadual do Pará, Universidade Federal de São Paulo, and Hospital Alemão Oswaldo Cruz discuss the most salient treatment options for adult patients with refractory or relapsed CHL, with a special focus on the Brazilian healthcare setting, which is constrained by inherent characteristics of this system.
    “In the attempt to balance efficacy, safety and tolerability, practicing physicians must rely on clinical trials and on results from real-world studies, and use their own point of view and experience, as well as patient characteristics and previous therapy, to make treatment decisions for refractory or relapsed CHL.”

  • Melatonin and Carcinogenesis in Mice
    BUFFALO, NY- December 18, 2023 – A new research #perspective was #published in Oncotarget's Volume 14 on December 12, 2023, entitled, “Melatonin and carcinogenesis in mice: the 50th anniversary of relationships.”
    Fifty years ago, in 1973, Vladimir N. Anisimov and coauthors demonstrated for the first time an inhibitory effect of the pineal gland hormone melatonin on cancer in vivo, namely on transplantable mammary tumors in mice. Subsequently, it was shown in a number of studies that melatonin administration with drinking water at night inhibits chemically induced mammary carcinogenesis in mice and rats.
    On the contrary, maintaining female mice and rats under round-the-clock lighting conditions, which suppresses the nighttime production of melatonin, stimulates spontaneous and chemical carcinogen-induced mammary tumor development.
    As of today, the query “cancer AND melatonin AND mice” in Pubmed returns about 550 entries. In this new research perspective, researchers Vladimir N. Anisimov and Alexey G. Golubev from N.N. Petrov National Medical Research Center of Oncology outline the history of studies of melatonin effects on cancer in mice, with the main lesson being that the systemic in vivo effects of melatonin on animals may overwhelm the in vitro effects found using tissue explants or cell cultures.
    “In particular, the timing of melatonin administration is of crucial importance for using the drug, which is freely available over [the] counter and thus needs no licensing for its applications in oncology.”

  • Triple Combination Treatment Overcomes Colorectal Cancer Resistance
    Colorectal cancer is the third most diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. It often starts in the colon or rectum with small, noncancerous clumps of cells called polyps, which can develop into cancer over time. Risk factors for colorectal cancer include age, family history, inflammatory bowel diseases, diet, smoking, and physical activity.
    The development and progression of colorectal cancer are driven by the aberrant activation of multiple signaling pathways, such as EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), RAS-RAF, and PTEN-PI3K. Among these pathways, the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mTOR pathways are particularly important, as they are frequently mutated in colorectal cancer. Therapeutic targeting of these pathways has shown promise in suppressing tumor growth. However, cancer cells often develop resistance to targeted therapies, leading to treatment failure and disease progression.
    In a new study, researchers Astha Lamichhane, Gary D. Luker, Seema Agarwal, and Hossein Tavana from The University of Akron, University of Michigan and Georgetown University aimed to elucidate the role of cancer stemness in the resistance of colorectal cancer cells to targeted therapies. Their research paper was published in Oncotarget on October 4, 2023, entitled, “Inhibiting BRAF/EGFR/MEK suppresses cancer stemness and drug resistance of primary colorectal cancer cells.”
