Cancer, a disease that modern medicine has not fully understood and conquered, with its high incidence mortality, deprives countless patients of health even life. According to global cancer statistics, there were an estimated 19.3 million new cases nearly 10 deaths in 2020, the age-standardized mortality rates 201.0 100.7 per 100,000, respectively. Although remarkable advancements have been made therapeutic strategies recently, overall prognosis remains optimistic. Consequently, are still many severe challenges be faced difficult problems solved therapy today. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), natural polyphenol extracted from tea leaves, received much attention for antitumor effects. Accumulating investigations confirmed EGCG can inhibit tumorigenesis progression by triggering apoptosis, suppressing proliferation, invasion, migration, altering tumor epigenetic modification, overcoming chemotherapy resistance. Nevertheless, regulatory roles biomolecular mechanisms immune microenvironment, metabolic immunotherapy remain obscure. In this article, we summarized most recent updates about effects on microenvironment (TME), reprogramming, anti-cancer immunotherapy. The results demonstrated promote response cytotoxic lymphocytes dendritic cells (DCs), attenuate immunosuppression myeloid-derived suppressor (MDSCs) T (Tregs), tumor-promoting functions tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), neutrophils (TANs), various stromal including cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), endothelial (ECs), stellate cells, mesenchymal stem/stromal (MSCs). Additionally, suppress multiple reprogramming pathways, glucose uptake, aerobic glycolysis, glutamine metabolism, fatty acid anabolism, nucleotide synthesis.

Gemcitabine resistance is a major obstacle to the effectiveness of chemotherapy in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Therefore, new strategies are needed sensitize cancer cells gemcitabine. Here, we constructed gemcitabine-resistant PDAC and analyzed them with RNA-sequence. Employing an integrated approach involving bioinformatic analyses from multiple databases, TGFB2 identified as crucial gene significantly associated poor gemcitabine therapeutic response. The patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model further substantiates gradual upregulation expression during gemcitabine-induced resistance. Silencing can enhance chemosensitivity against PDAC. Mechanistically, TGFB2, post-transcriptionally stabilized by METTL14-mediated m6A modification, promote lipid accumulation enhanced triglyceride drives lipidomic profiling. upregulates lipogenesis regulator sterol regulatory element binding factor 1 (SREBF1) its downstream lipogenic enzymes via PI3K-AKT signaling. Moreover, SREBF1 responsible for TGFB2-mediated Importantly, inhibitor imperatorin combined shows synergistic effects PDX model.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) hold tremendous potential in cancer therapy due to their remarkable structural and functional adaptability, enabling them serve as nanocarriers for biopharmaceuticals nanoreactors organizing cascade bioreactions. Nevertheless, MOFs are predominantly utilized biologically inactive carriers most cases. Developing nanoscale prodrug suitable biomedical applications remains a huge challenge. In this study, we have designed novel nano-MOFs (nMOFs, named DCCMH) using metformin (Met) α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) ligands coordination self-assembly with CuCl2, followed by loading of doxorubicin (DOX) surface modification hyaluronic (HA). Upon internalization cells, DCCMH releases Cu2+/+, CHCA, Met, DOX response high levels glutathione (GSH) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) within the tumor microenvironment (TME); Cu+ catalyzes conversion H2O2 ·OH via Fenton reaction while it was oxidized Cu2+, which subsequently further de-consumed GSH; CHCA induces decrease intracellular pH promotes reactions inhibiting lactate efflux; Met up-regulates tyrosine kinase activity enhances chemotherapy DOX. With ability synergistically combine chemo/chemodynamic (CT/CDT) remodel TME, NPs inhibit murine hepatoma effectively. This study presents feasible strategy fabricating nMOFs capable remodeling TME improve efficacy through synergistic therapy.

Abstract The accumulation of lactate is a rising risk factor for patients after flap transplantation. Endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) plays critical role in skin fibrosis. Nevertheless, whether overproduction directly contributes to necrosis and its mechanism remain unknown. current study reveals that mice exhibit enhanced PKM2 fibrotic response. Endothelial‐specific deletion attenuates ameliorates fibrosis mice. Administration or overexpressing promotes dysfunction endothelial cells stimulates mesenchymal‐like phenotype following hypoxia. Mechanistically, glycolytic‐lactate induces correlation between Twist1 p300/CBP, leading lactylation lysine 150 (K150la). increase K150la phosphorylation nuclear translocation further regulates the transcription TGFB1 , hence inducing phenotype. Genetically endothelial‐specific diminishes lactylation, then EndoMT‐associated ischemia. serum levels transplantation are elevated predictive value prognosis. This findings suggested novel PKM2‐derived mediating exacerbates Inhibition reduces response might become potential therapeutic strategy

Accumulating evidence suggests that lymphangiogenesis plays a crucial role in lymphatic metastasis, leading to tumor immune tolerance. However, the specific mechanism remains unclear. In this study, miR-431-5p was markedly downregulated both gastric cancer (GC) tissues and plasma exosomes, its expression were correlated negatively with LN metastasis poor prognosis. Mechanistically, weakens TGF-β1/SMAD2/3 signaling pathway by targeting ZEB1, thereby suppressing secretion of VEGF-A ANG2, which turn hinders angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, lymph node (LN) GC. Experiments using popliteal model BALB/c nude mice demonstrated significantly reduced metastasis. Additionally, enhances efficacy anti-PD1 treatment, particularly when combined galunisertib, treatment showing synergistic effect inhibiting GC progression C57BL/6 mice. Collectively, these findings suggest may modulate pathways ZEB1 impede progression, making it promising therapeutic target for management.

Abstract Although bevacizumab (BVZ), a representative drug for anti-angiogenesis therapy (AAT), is used as first-line treatment patients with glioblastoma (GBM), its efficacy notably limited. Whereas several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the acquisition of AAT resistance, specific underlying yet be sufficiently ascertained. Here, we established that inhibitor differentiation 1 (ID1) high /activin A cell confers resistance BVZ. The bipotent effect activin during active phase was demonstrated reduce vasculature dependence in tumorigenesis. In response temporary exposure A, this cytokine found induce endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition via Smad3/Slug axis, whereas prolonged led endothelial apoptosis. ID1 tumors showing BVZ were characterized by hypovascular structure, hyperpermeability, and scattered hypoxic regions. Using GBM mouse model, can overcome administering based on combination SB431542, Smad2/3 inhibitor, which contributed enhancing survival. These findings offer valuable insights could contribute development new strategies treating AAT-resistant GBM.
