This study investigated the impact of ACNs on TNBC cells, focusing on drug resistance mechanisms involving drug metabolism and transport enzymes. Specifically, it was examined whether ACNs influenced Doxorubicin (DOX) metabolism by targeting drug metabolism enzymes (phase I metabolism) and drug transport enzymes (phase III metabolism) in TNBC cells. 4T1 TNBC cells were treated with ACNs, DOX, and the combination of both (ACN-DOX). Results showed a synergistic inhibition of cell viability by ACNs and DOX. In addition, the modulation of phase I drug-metabolizing enzymes was exerted by ACNs, reducing the activity of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes induced by DOX. A reduction of drug efflux by ACNs was shown by decreasing P-glycoprotein (P-gp) activity, leading to a higher intracellular accumulation of DOX. These effects were confirmed using CYP and P-gp inducers and inhibitors, showing their impact on cell viability. In conclusion, the combination of ACNs with DOX has the potential to lower DOX doses, enhance its efficacy, and possibly reduce side effects, offering a promising approach for TNBC treatment.","PeriodicalId":10839,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Molecular Biology","volume":"47 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11941269/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143708722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, the standard treatment of FMF includes colchicine, which is an alkaloid, derived from Colchicum autumnale. Colchicine's efficacy in FMF is well-established as it is used both to prevent acute attacks and reduce the risk of long-term complications. However, despite these available treatments, 5-10% of patients exhibit resistance to the drug. It has been demonstrated that polymorphisms in several genes involved in inflammation can influence treatment outcomes and the risk of FMF complications like amyloidosis. Among them, some research focused on polymorphism affecting adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette sub-family B member 1 (ABCB1) gene encoding for P-glycoprotein. P-glycoprotein is considered a key transporter protein as it regulates the absorption, distribution, and excretion of several drugs, including colchicine. In diseases like FMF, ABCB1 polymorphisms have been shown to affect the response to colchicine, potentially leading to treatment resistance or altered toxicity. Based on this evidence, this systematic review aims to analyze available evidence on ABCB1-mediated colchicine transport and its clinical implications in FMF, showing how relevant ABCB1 variants are in response to therapy.","PeriodicalId":10839,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Molecular Biology","volume":"47 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11941201/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143709048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we focused on investigating the molecular mechanism of ferroptosis induced by USP5 in bladder cancer. The role of USP5 in bladder cancer was evaluated using T24 wild-type cells (WT) and USP5 knockout (USP5-/-) by CCK8 and colony formation assays. The contents of ferrobivalent ions (Fe2+), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected using a determination kit to observe the relationship between USP5 and ferroptosis. Furthermore, the molecular mechanism study was evaluated by employing Western blotting, co-immunoprecipitation, RT-qPCR, ubiquitination assays, etc. This study showed genetic ablation of USP5 significantly inhibited the viability and proliferation of bladder cancer cells. Genetic ablation of USP5 promoted increases in Fe2+ content, ROS, and MDA levels. The addition of erastin significantly increased the viability and proliferation of T24 USP5-/- cells and significantly increased their ROS and MDA contents. We verified that USP5 deficiency led to a significant reduction in GPX4 protein levels and that the overexpression of USP5 could stabilize the GPX4 protein. Further studies showed that USP5 interacts with GPX4 and stabilizes GPX4 by inhibiting its ubiquitination These findings revealed USP5 inhibits ferroptosis in bladder cancer cells by stabilizing GPX4.

A comprehensive ophthalmic assessment and pedigree analysis were performed, focusing on the onset of disease symptoms, the patient's age at first diagnosis, follow-up duration, and the presence of comorbidities.Results: Our cohort included ten Italian patients with a mean age of 59 (range of 32-79 years). The median age when symptoms first presented was 43 years (range of 2-74), with a mean follow-up period of 9.3 ± 2.6 years.

B(a)P has been found to induce inflammation and eventually lung cancer. Fisetin, a polyphenol, abundant in many fruits and vegetables, has an appealing therapeutic potential in many disorders, including inflammation and cancer. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the importance of fisetin in the regulation of chronic lung inflammation and oxidative stress resulting from exposure to Benzo(a)Pyrene. Methods: The effect of fisetin on rats at a concentration of 50 mg/kg was evaluated by ELISA to measure oxidative stress and inflammatory markers. The tissue architecture was also investigated using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. The expression pattern of IL-6 in lung tissues was assayed using immunohistochemistry. Fibrosis was evaluated in lung tissues using Masson Trischrome and Sirius red stains. Cell apoptosis in lung tissues was studied using a TUNEL assay. Results: After exposure to Benzo(a)Pyrene for eight weeks, the data indicated that fisetin led to a significant reduction in oxidative stress, evidenced by the reduction of SOD, MDA, NO, GPH, and GPx. Moreover, IL-6, TNF-α, and CRP levels were also decreased, indicating a reduction in inflammation. Apoptosis was reduced upon fisetin treatment. Furthermore, a significant decrease in fibrosis was also observed. Conclusions: This study reveals the importance of fisetin as a natural product in the management of chronic lung injury by protecting lung tissues from inflammation, and its use suggests better prognosis in diseases caused by exposure to B(a)P.","PeriodicalId":10839,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Molecular Biology","volume":"47 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11941139/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143708818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

HCC often presents insidiously, is prone to recurrence, and has limited treatment efficacy.

Numerous studies suggest that HCC is sensitive to ferroptosis, indicating that targeted therapies aimed at inducing ferroptosis may represent a promising new approach to cancer treatment. This study aims to find genes associated with HCC and ferroptosis, as well as to screen for potential agents that may cause ferroptosis in HCC. Transcriptome and clinical sample data were obtained from the TCGA database to identify differentially expressed genes related to ferroptosis. Using various regression and survival analysis techniques, we developed a prognostic model based on four core genes and evaluated its predictive potential. Subsequently, we screened for potential therapeutic agents in the Connective Map (CMap) database, designated as compound Atorvastatin, based on differential genes from two risk groups and related to ferroptosis. Through experiments conducted in vivo and in vitro, we demonstrated that Atorvastatin can induce ferroptosis in HCC cells while inhibiting their growth and migration.
