Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the anti-cancer molecular mechanisms of GAT and explore its therapeutic applications for cancer treatment. GAT exhibited potent anti-cancer activity in an ES-2 orthotopic ovarian cancer model in a humanized mouse model, leading to significant alterations in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Specifically, GAT reduced the proportion of α-SMA<sup>+</sup> cells and enhanced the infiltration of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in tumor tissues. After conducting proteomic analysis, it was revealed that GAT downregulates galectin-1 (Gal-1), a key molecule in the TME. This downregulation has been confirmed in multiple cancer cell lines and xenograft tumors. Molecular docking suggested a theoretical direct interaction between GAT and Gal-1. Further research revealed that GAT induces ubiquitination of Gal-1. Moreover, GAT significantly augmented the anti-cancer effects of paclitaxel, thereby increasing intratumoral drug concentrations and reducing tumor size. Combined with immunotherapy, GAT enhanced the tumor-suppressive effects of the anti-programmed death-ligand 1 antibody and increased the proportion of CD8<sup>+</sup> cells in the EMT6 syngeneic mammary cancer model. In conclusion, GAT inhibited tumor growth, downregulated Gal-1, modulated the TME, and promoted chemotherapy and immunotherapy efficacy. Our findings highlight the potential of GAT as an effective therapeutic agent for cancer.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23174,"journal":{"name":"Toxicology and applied pharmacology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141983225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In vitro studies confirmed that exposure to sevoflurane repressed PDGF-induced proliferation, migration, and phenotype switching of PASMCs, and suppressed mitochondrial dysfunction and NF-κB activation in PDGF-stimulated PASMCs. The beneficial impact of sevoflurane on pathological changes of lung and cell phenotype of PASMCs were reversed by overexpression of TRAF6.

This study represents the first exploration of linagliptin's impact on CDDP-induced kidney impairment in rats, emphasizing its potential role in mitophagic pathways. The experiment involved four rat groups: Group (I) received saline only, Group (II) received a single intraperitoneal injection of CDDP at 6 mg/kg.

Various parameters, including renal function tests, oxidative stress, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, PGC-1α, FOXO-3a, p-ERK1, and the gene expression of SIRT-3 and P62 in renal tissue, were assessed. Linagliptin improved renal function, increased antioxidant enzyme activity, and decreased IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6 expression. Additionally, linagliptin significantly upregulated PGC-1α and PINK-1/Parkin-2 expression while downregulating P62 expression.
