Vitexicarpin (VIT) has been reported to have excellent inhibitory effects on several types of cancer, including TNBC. However, its potential mechanisms on metastatic TNBC are not well understood. Herein, we found that VIT inhibited migration and invasion of TNBC through reducing MMP-9 expression in vitro and in vivo. Subsequently, RSK2 was identified as the potential target of VIT in TNBC by pull-down and MS analysis. Moreover, the further validations showed that VIT bound to Asp148 and Asp154 residues of NTKD, and Thr493 of CTKD, thereby inhibiting its phosphorylation and kinase activity. Mechanistically, we found that HIF-1α/MMP-9 was involved in VIT-mediated inhibition of migration and invasion of TNBC, and similar results were observed upon RSK2 knockdown or combined with VIT treatment, which demonstrated that VIT-mediated inhibition of HIF-1α/MMP-9 pathway was dependent on targeting RSK2. Finally, TNBC mouse xenograft models showed that VIT effectively inhibited TNBC metastasis and growth through regulating the RSK2/HIF-1α/MMP-9 axis in vivo. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that VIT downregulated the HIF-1α/MMP-9 pathway to suppress TNBC migration and invasion by directly targeting RSK2.

In this study, we designed, synthesized, and evaluated novel series of 2-aminothiazole derivatives (C1-C15) as potential FOXM1 inhibitors.

In vitro studies using TNBC cell lines (MDA-MB-231, BT-549, and BT-20) demonstrated that compound C11 significantly outperformed FDI-6 in potency. Western blot analysis revealed that C11 effectively suppressed FOXM1 transcriptional activity at concentrations of 10 µM in BT-549 cells and 20 µM in MDA-MB-231 cells.

The study aimed to investigate the association of DNMTs with thyroid cancer and evaluated the effects of sustained demethylating therapy in a cell-based study. DNMTs expressions in thyroid cancer were analyzed using GEO and TCGA datasets. Additionally, 16 paired and three unpaired papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) samples from Taipei Medical University (TMU), along with commercial tissue arrays, were analyzed. Furthermore, the effects of the covalent DNMT inhibitor, 5-azacytidine (5-Aza), and the DNMT1-selective inhibitor, GSK-3484862, on cell viability were evaluated in PTC and follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) cell lines. DNMT1 and DNMT3A were upregulated in PTC, with DNMT1 expression correlated with the BRAF mutation and lymph node invasion in TCGA data, findings further confirmed in the TMU cohort and tissue arrays. Short-term (24 h) 5-Aza treatment (1 and 5 µM) induced substantial cell death regardless of the DNA methylation status, whereas short-term GSK-3484862 (5 µM) treatment showed minimal cytotoxicity. In contrast, sustained low-dose GSK-3484862 treatment (approximately 1-3 weeks at 2 µM) effectively reduced global DNA methylation and decreased cell viability of TPC-1 and FTC-236 cells through apoptosis, rather than by inhibiting proliferation. In conclusion, DNMT1 overexpression in PTC suggests its involvement in thyroid carcinogenesis.

Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG), a plant lignan derived from flaxseed, possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidative activities. However, the underlying mechanisms by which SDG ameliorates ALI remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to investigate whether SDG alleviates ALI by modulating the NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway. For the in vivo study, ALI was induced in mice through intranasal administration of LPS. Key indicators included lung histopathological changes, wet/dry weight ratio (W/D), protein concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), oxidative stress markers (MDA, SOD, CAT), the expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines (IL-1β, IL-18, TNF-α, CCL2), and the level of NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway-related proteins. In vitro experiments using LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 further explored the effects of SDG on the NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway. SDG significantly mitigated LPS-induced lung histopathological damage and nasal mucosal injury, reduced lung W/D ratio and BALF protein, and suppressed oxidative stress. Moreover, SDG downregulated pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-18, TNF-α) and macrophage infiltration. It also decreased the expression of N-κB/NLRP3 pathway-related proteins. In vitro experiments further confirmed that SDG inhibited the NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway. SDG effectively alleviates LPS-induced ALI through its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway-inhibiting properties, providing experimental evidence for its potential as a therapeutic agent for ALI.</p>","PeriodicalId":11291,"journal":{"name":"Drug Development Research","volume":"87 3","pages":"e70285"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13113228/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147765507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
