Moreover, the incidence, mortality, and DALYs have increased over the past decade by 26.3%, 20.9%, and 16.0%, respectively. Despite significant evolutions in medical therapy and advances in the DNA microarray, proteomics technology, and targeted therapies, anticancer drug resistance continues to be a growing concern and invites regular discovery of potent agents. One such agent is the microbe-producing bioactive compounds like Streptomyces, which are proving increasingly resourceful in anticancer therapy of the future. Streptomyces, especially the species living in extreme conditions, produce bioactive compounds with cytolytic and anti-oxidative activity which can be utilized for producing anticancer and chemo-preventive agents. The efficacy of the derived compounds has been proven on cell lines and some of these have already established clinical results. These compounds can potentially be utilized in the treatment of a variety of cancers including but not limited to colon, lung, breast, GI tract, cervix, and skin cancer. The Streptomyces, thus possess the armory to fuel the anticancer agents of the future and help address the problem of rising resistance to currently available anti-cancer drugs. We conducted a state-of-art review using electronic databases of PubMed, Scopus, and Google scholar with an objective to appraise the currently available literature on Streptomyces as a source of anti-cancer agents and to compile the clinically significant literature to update the clinicians.","PeriodicalId":43754,"journal":{"name":"Current Cancer Therapy Reviews","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136359920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: Considering the side effects of chemotherapy treatments, we reviewed the anti-cancer effects and mechanisms of bromelain on colon cancer cells in this study. Methods: The PRISMA guidelines were followed in the design of this systematic review. Various databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus, were thoroughly searched. Finally, 14 articles were retrieved after considering the study's inclusion and exclusion criteria. The desired data were extracted, entered into an Excel file, and the study results were reviewed. Results: According to the included studies, bromelain can significantly reduce the survival and death of cloned cancer cells through different mechanisms. These mechanisms include impeding tumor growth and metastasis by reducing mucins production/secretion and increasing/reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Moreover, bromelain induces apoptosis via reduced expression of Bcl-2, extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK), Akt, activation caspase system (caspase-3, 7, 8, and 9), and extranuclear p53. Ferroptosis was another mechanism of causing cell death. In addition, bromelain activates the autophagy pathway, lysosome formation, and deregulation of other autophagyrelated proteins. Conclusion: Bromelain effectively inhibits colon cancer cells' growth, proliferation, and metastasis and reduces their survival by different mechanisms. Therefore, after examining clinical studies, it can be used as an effective drug for treating CRC.","PeriodicalId":43754,"journal":{"name":"Current Cancer Therapy Reviews","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136359921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding apoptosis under oxidative conditions makes PDT a more effective treatment. Tissue oxygen, tumour-selective photosensitizer dyes, and customised lighting are needed to create fatal reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer. PDT has decreased morbidity and improved survival and status of life when used in combination with other treatments, especially in early-stage malignant tumours. Using interstitial light delivery, PDT can cure large, hidden tumours that would otherwise necessitate extensive surgery. This overview describes the foundational historical work that has shaped the technique since the early 1900s. PDT's efficacy is also increased by innovative photosensitizers and tweaks that increase tumour selectivity. Adverse effects and treatment during therapy, as well as innovative PDT-based applications, are explored in this review. Finally, PDT research gaps and clinical trials have been identified as potential issues.","PeriodicalId":43754,"journal":{"name":"Current Cancer Therapy Reviews","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135546038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dysregulated expression of these miRNAs has been related etiologically to many human diseases, including breast cancer. Various cellular processes of breast cancer progression, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, metastasis, recurrence and chemodrug resistance, are modulated by oncogenic miRNA (oncomiR). Objective: The objective of this investigation was to study the expression level and potential diagnostic/prognostic roles of circulating microRNAs (miR-3183, miR-1185, and miR-584) as novel breast cancer biomarkers. Method: The current study was conducted on 99 breast cancer (BC) female patients, aged between 20-63 years old, as the case group and 50 age-matched healthy females as control (HC). After microRNA extraction from the serum samples, real-time PCR was carried out for relative expression quantification of miR-1185, miR-3183a, and miR-584. The ROC curve analysis was performed to investigate the diagnostic value of miRNAs. Result: It was demonstrated that miRNA-1185, miRNA-584, and miRNA-3183 were significantly up-regulated (p-values <0.0001) in female BC cases compared to the control group. Besides, based on the ROC analysis for BC versus HC, it was revealed that the AUC for miRNA-584 was 0.844 (95% confidence interval (CI) and could be proposed as a diagnostic biomarker for breast cancer screening and follow-up. Conclusion: MiRNAs expression profiling using blood-based samples demonstrated their upregulation in the serum and plasma and revealed the concept that circulating miRNAs have high potential as novel noninvasive biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and screening.","PeriodicalId":43754,"journal":{"name":"Current Cancer Therapy Reviews","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135485233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MMP11 does not hydrolyse classical MMP substrates, such as laminin and fibronectin, and many of its substrates remain unknown, piquing the interest of researchers. Several studies have reported the role of MMP11 in inducing tumour growth by inhibiting apoptosis and promoting cancer cell migration and invasion. Various reports have shown its potential as a diagnostic and prognostic marker in a majority of cancers. MMP11 also induces an immune response as a tumour-associated antigen, and recent evidence shows the involvement of many microRNAs in targeting MMP11 in cancer, with prospective future applications in cancer immunotherapy and gene silencing. Owing to the importance of MMP11 in both cancer diagnosis and therapy, there is a need for deeper understanding of its mechanism and role in tumour progression. The current review focuses on the role of MMP11 in cell signalling pathways, its expression status in various cancers, and its potential in cancer treatment.","PeriodicalId":43754,"journal":{"name":"Current Cancer Therapy Reviews","volume":"216 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134970676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: The study involved a literature survey using PubMed, Web of Science and Google scholar database. The literature search was done using keywords “Pancreatic cancer”, “Chemotherapy”, “Mutations”, and “Natural compounds”. 266 articles were studied of which 201 were taken into consideration based on relevance to the topic. Results: Pancreatic cancer is associated with mutations of CDKN2A (encoding p16), KRAS, TP53 and SMAD4. MAPK, PI3K-AKT, and TGF- β pathway dysfunction also led to pancreatic cancer. Current clinical trial activities in pancreatic cancer target angiogenesis, surface receptors, cell cycle, DNA damage response, etc. Studies have shown that combining surgical resection with adjuvant chemotherapy increases survival rates in patients. New treatment options are on the rise for this cancer type, which is perioperative or neo-adjuvant therapy. Gemcitabine as a single treatment agent in pancreatic cancer has shown promising response with chemotherapy regimens using two combinations- Folfirinox and Gemcitabine/Nab-Paclitaxel giving a better response rate. Numerous natural substances, including curcumin, aloe vera, and taxol, which suppress oxidative stress, angiogenesis, JAK2 STAT3 pathways, and enhanced natural killer cell activity, have been explored as potential treatments for pancreatic cancer. Conclusions: With pancreatic cancer having a poor prognosis, investigations to comprehend its molecular underpinnings and research on natural chemicals could lead to the development of safer treatment alternatives with enhanced survival rates for pancreatic cancer patients.","PeriodicalId":43754,"journal":{"name":"Current Cancer Therapy Reviews","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136143248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
