MiR-210-3p-EphrinA3-PI3K/AKT axis regulates the progression of oral cancer

This study aimed to explore new therapeutic targets to improve the survival rate of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).MiR-210-3p, EphrinA3 and EMT related indices were evaluated in OSCC tissues and cell lines. In addition, the relationship between differential EphrinA3 expression and tumour progression was explored through molecular biology techniques, in vitro functional experiments and tumour xenotransplantation models. The expression of EphrinA3 (r_s = −0.719, P < .05) and E-cadherin (r_s = −0.856, P < .05) was negatively correlated with the pathological grading in OSCC tissues. Protein clustering shows EphrinA3 may be associated with tumour progression. EphrinA3 also can regulate the biological behaviour of oral cancer cells. And it regulates the EMT by the PI3K/AKT signalling pathway. MiR-210-3p targeted the gen EFNA3. Up-regulation of miR-210-3p expression can decrease the expression of EphrinA3 and further to influence the biological behaviour of OSCC. The miR-210-3p-EphrinA3-PI3K/AKT signalling axis plays an important role in the progress of OSCC. EphrinA3 may serve as a novel target for oral cancer treatment.     

Secretion of proteins and antibody fragments from transiently transfected endothelial progenitor cells

In neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, neuroinflammation can lead to blood‐brain barrier (BBB) breakdown. After intravenous or intra‐arterial injection into mice, endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) home to the damaged BBB to promote neurovascular repair. Autologous EPCs transfected to express specific therapeutic proteins offer an innovative therapeutic option. Here, we demonstrate that EPC transfection by electroporation with plasmids encoding the reporter protein GFP or an anti‐β‐amyloid antibody fragment (Fab) leads to secretion of each protein. We also demonstrate the secreted anti‐β‐amyloid Fab protein functions in β‐amyloid aggregate solubilization.     

Combined tazemetostat and MAPKi enhances differentiation of papillary thyroid cancer cells harbouring BRAFV600E by synergistically decreasing global trimethylation of H3K27

Clinical efficacy of differentiation therapy with mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors (MAPKi) for lethal radioiodine-refractory papillary thyroid cancer (RR-PTC) urgently needs to be improved and the aberrant trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) plays a vital role in BRAF^V600E-MAPK-induced cancer dedifferentiation and drug resistance. Therefore, dual inhibition of MAPK and histone methyltransferase (EZH2) may produce more favourable treatment effects. In this study, BRAF^V600E-mutant (BCPAP and K1) and BRAF-wild-type (TPC-1) PTC cells were treated with MAPKi (dabrafenib or selumetinib) or EZH2 inhibitor (tazemetostat), or in combination, and the expression of iodine-metabolizing genes, radioiodine uptake, and toxicity were tested. We found that tazemetostat alone slightly increased iodine-metabolizing gene expression and promoted radioiodine uptake and toxicity, irrespective of the BRAF status. However, MAPKi induced these effects preferentially in BRAF^V600E mutant cells, which was robustly strengthened by tazemetostat incorporation. Mechanically, MAPKi-induced decrease of trimethylation of H3K27 was evidently intensified by tazemetostat in BRAF^V600E-mutant cells. In conclusion, tazemetostat combined with MAPKi enhances differentiation of PTC cells harbouring BRAF^V600E through synergistically decreasing global trimethylation of H3K27, representing a novel differentiation strategy.

Improved therapeutic efficiency of photothermal treatment and nursing care in prostate cancer by DOX loaded PEG coated Cu@Se nano-hybrid vesicle

Cancer is one of the major life threatening diseases, with higher mortality rate and morbidity. It is always a challenge for effective drug delivery and release of drug in specific tumor sites. Therefore to identify the synergistic effect of chemotherapeutic drug and photo thermal agent on tumor area, Doxorubicin (DOX) acts as anticancer agent but it has low aqueous solubility so its clinical application is limited. The present study developed doxorubicin (DOX) were designed to be with the poly ethylene glycol (PEG) functionalized copper and selenium (Cu-Se) nanoparticles (PEG@Cu-Se+DOX) and it is efficiently synthesized and enhance its aqueous formulation and improve the prostate cancer (DU145 and LNCaP) activity. The characteristics like mono dispersity, size stability and constant spectral of as-synthesized nanoparticles are comparably excellent than DOX alone. Also the enhanced cellular uptake and in vitro cytoxicicty suggests these nanoparticles selectively killing prostate cancer. In this present study explained that PEG@Cu-Se+DOX as a safe and hopeful strategy for chemotherapeutics of photothermal therapy and deserve for further clinical evaluations.     

Nontyphoidal Salmonella: a potential anticancer agent

Use of bacteria in cancer therapy, despite being considered as a potent strategy, has not really picked up the way other methods of cancer therapies have evolved. However, in recent years, the interest on use of bacteria to kill cancer cells has renewed considerably. The standard and widely followed strategies of cancer treatment often fail either due to the complexity of tumour biology or because of the accompanying side effects. In contrast, these limitations can be easily overcome in a bacteria-mediated approach. Salmonella is a bacterium, which is known for its ability to colonize solid or semisolid tumours more efficiently than any other bacteria. Among more than 2500 serovars of Salmonella, S. Typhimurium has been widely studied for its antagonistic effects on cancer cells. Here in, we review the current status of the preclinical and the clinical studies with a focus on the mechanisms that attribute the anticancer properties to nontyphoidal Salmonella.
