Here, we identify TRIM24 as a critical regulator of GC receptor (GR) activity and a potential therapeutic target in TCL. TRIM24 deficiency delays TCL progression in murine models, suppresses cell proliferation, and enhances GC sensitivity by restoring GR transcriptional activity, as evidenced by transcriptomic and chromatin profiling. Mechanistically, TRIM24 interacts with Fused In Sarcoma (FUS) and promotes its liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) with GR, leading to impaired GR activity and heightened GC resistance. Moreover, TRIM24 is overexpressed in peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) samples, correlating with suppressed GR signaling and poor therapeutic response. These findings uncover an unrecognized “double-check” mechanism in which TRIM24 regulates nuclear GR function through FUS-facilitated LLPS. Importantly, targeting TRIM24 may provide a novel therapeutic strategy not only for overcoming GC resistance in TCL but also for addressing broader GR-dependent diseases.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51022,"journal":{"name":"Drug Resistance Updates","volume":"82 ","pages":"Article 101270"},"PeriodicalIF":15.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144271564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Plasmids play an important role in the dissemination of these traits; however, the plasmidome of draft genomes of a large number of <em>K. pneumoniae</em> has not been analyzed so far. To recover <em>K. pneumoniae</em> plasmids, OMAP-KP was developed, achieving a recall rate of 85.27 % for plasmids exceeding 10,000 bp in length from draft genomes. From a global collection of 69,969 <em>K. pneumoniae</em> genomes, we identified 226,110 plasmids, providing the most comprehensive profiling of the <em>K. pneumoniae</em> plasmidome to date. The study recovered 12,790 KPC-encoding plasmids, 6214 NDM-encoding plasmids, and 6843 hv plasmids. Plasmid KPC PC_392 was found to be associated with ST11 <em>K. pneumoniae</em> in China, featuring the <em>klcA</em> within the genetic context around <em>bla</em>_KPC. NDM plasmids exhibited a widespread distribution, and stabilization began before 2015. There was an increased prevalence of <em>bla</em>_NDM-5 with the <em>qnrS1</em> gene compared to <em>bla</em>_NDM-1 after 2020. The frequent convergence of CR and hv plasmid pairs was observed in different STs: hv PC_499 with KPC PC_362 (ST11) and OXA PC_7078 (ST15), and hv PC_394 with OXA PC_7078 (ST2096) and OXA PC_804 (ST383), suggesting clone transmission of <em>K. pneumoniae</em> carrying CR-hv plasmid pairs. Alarmingly, PC_394 can encode both hv loci and CR genes, with an increasing prevalence detected from the public database from North America and Europe &amp; Central Asia after 2019, which might result from the change of isolation or treatment strategy, or potentially from the ongoing spread of plasmids that have not been detected in other areas. This observed pattern coincides with the period of the COVID-19 pandemic needs further investigation. This study highlights the potential to integrate plasmid-level analysis into genome surveillance projects.

Recently, multi-target platinum(IV) (Pt(IV)) complexes, particularly those optimized with axial ligands, have emerged as promising alternatives enhancing tumor selectivity and drug stability. In this study, we synthesized a series of novel platinum(IV) prodrugs, gramine-platinum(IV), by incorporating gramine—a natural indole alkaloid that antagonizes TGF-β receptors I and II to inhibit the TGF-β signaling pathway—as an axial ligand. Among them, compound <strong>8</strong> (referred to as GP) was screened out to have the best antitumor activity. GP not only enhances the therapeutic efficacy of platinum(II) drugs but also targets TGF-β signaling. Our findings demonstrate that GP rapidly enters cells and preferentially accumulates in critical subcellular compartments, such as the nucleus and mitochondria, significantly amplifying its therapeutic impact. Notably, GP exhibits great tumor accumulation compared to cisplatin and oxaliplatin, with minimal uptake in normal tissues, highlighting its superior tumor specificity with reduced systemic toxicity. This unique characteristic enables GP to enhance therapeutic efficiency through multiple modalities, including strengthening DNA damage, reducing mitochondrial membrane potential, promoting apoptosis, and arresting cell cycle in the S phase. Moreover, GP activates the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling (cGAS-STING) pathway, enhancing antigen presentation and fostering robust anti-tumor immune responses. In mouse models of pancreatic and breast cancer, GP significantly inhibits tumor growth and triggers strong innate immune activation. By combining GP with anti-PD-1 therapy, immunotherapy-resistant tumors are rendered responsive, leading to a pronounced suppression of tumor growth.
