Abstract Although gemcitabine is a primary chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer, its effectiveness limited by chemoresistance and nephrotoxicity, posing significant clinical challenges. Therefore, the development of novel therapeutic approaches to prevent malignancy remains crucial. This study aimed investigate potential melatonin in enhancing gemcitabine’s anticancer efficacy while mitigating nephrotoxic effects through modulation Keap1/p62 pathway. A cancer xenograft model was established rats, which received either (50 mg/kg, I.P.), or their combination three times per week 2 weeks. Our findings demonstrate that potentiates cancer-suppressing via Kelch-like-ECH associated protein-1 (Keap1)/p62 pathway, resulting reduced fibrosis, oxidative stress, inflammatory markers. Additionally, significantly mitigated gemcitabine-induced nephrotoxicity. These results suggest may serve as an adjuvant therapy treatment, reducing adverse effects.

Abstract NF-κB signaling has been discovered for nearly 40 years. Initially, was identified as a pivotal pathway in mediating inflammatory responses. However, with extensive and in-depth investigations, researchers have that its role can be expanded to variety of mechanisms, biological processes, human diseases, treatment options. In this review, we first scrutinize the research process signaling, summarize composition, activation, regulatory mechanism signaling. We investigate interaction other important pathways, including PI3K/AKT, MAPK, JAK-STAT, TGF-β, Wnt, Notch, Hedgehog, TLR The physiological pathological states well intricate involvement inflammation, immune regulation, tumor microenvironment, are also explicated. Additionally, illustrate how is involved cancers, autoimmune cardiovascular metabolic neurological COVID-19. Further, discuss therapeutic approaches targeting IKK inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, proteasome nuclear translocation DNA binding TKIs, non-coding RNAs, immunotherapy, CAR-T. Finally, provide an outlook field hope present stereoscopic, comprehensive will inform future clinical practice.

Cancer continues to increase global morbidity and mortality rates. Despite substantial progress in the development of various chemically synthesized anti-cancer drugs, poor prognosis disease still remains a big challenge. The most common drawback conventional cancer therapies is emergence drug resistance eventually leading discontinuation chemotherapy. Moreover, advanced target-specific including immunotherapy stem cell therapy are expensive enough unaffordable for patients poorer nations. Therefore, alternative cheaper therapeutic strategies needed complement current treatment approaches. Phytochemicals bioactive compounds produced naturally by plants have great potential human health disease. These possess antiproliferative, anti-oxidant, immunomodulatory properties. Among phytochemicals, flavonoids very effective treating wide range diseases from cardiovascular immunological disorders cancer. They scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS), inhibit metastasis, modulate immune system induce apoptotic or autophagic death cancers. This review will discuss phytochemicals particularly attempts target

Inflammation is an important physiological response of the organism to restore homeostasis upon pathogenic or damaging stimuli. However, persistence harmful trigger a deficient resolution process can evolve into state low-grade, chronic inflammation. This condition strongly associated with development several increasingly prevalent and serious conditions, such as obesity, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, elevating overall morbidity mortality worldwide. The current pandemic diseases underscores need address inflammation, its mechanisms, potential preventive measures limit widespread impact. present review discusses knowledge research gaps regarding association between low-grade inflammation focusing on digestive cancer. We examine art in selected aspects topic propose future directions approaches for field.

As breast cancer incidence continues to rise worldwide, there is a pressing need understand the environmental factors that contribute its development. Obesogens, including Bisphenol A (BPA) and Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), are highly prevalent in environment, have been associated with obesity metabolic dysregulation. BPA DDT, known disrupt hormone signaling epithelial cells, also promote adipogenesis, lipogenesis, adipokine secretion adipose tissue, directly contributing pathogenesis of obesity. While adipose-rich mammary gland may be particularly vulnerable obesogens, scarcity research investigating obesogen-mediated changes adipocytes drive oncogenic transformation cells. Here, we review preclinical clinical evidence linking DDT impaired development risk. We discuss how obesogen-driven mechanisms obesity, secretion, could provide pro-inflammatory, nutrient-rich environment promotes activation pathways Understanding role obesogens risk progression essential for informing public health guidelines aimed at minimizing obesogen exposure, ultimately reduce improve outcomes women.

Oleic acid, found in a variety of food sources, is beneficial to health. However, studies on its anticancer effects cancer stem cells resistant conventional treatments and the mechanisms underlying such are scarce. Here, we evaluated oleic acid against breast with stemness characteristics. inhibited proliferation stem-like more significantly than that their respective parental cells, reduced expression cell markers migration invasion propensity. It also repressed phosphorylation FAK, AKT, NF-κB, proteins involved invasion. acid-induced increase reactive oxygen species levels mediated inhibition FAK/AKT/NF-κB signaling axis. Our study demonstrates oxidative stress plays an important role inhibiting metastatic behavior characteristics relevant for management treatment-resistant cancer.
