Cyclin–dependent kinases 12 and 13 (CDK12/13) serve as crucial regulators of transcript elongation, the DNA damage response (DDR), and the maintenance of genomic stability. The selective inhibition of these kinases is highly effective in cancer therapy. This study systematically reviews the current landscape of the development of CDK12/13 inhibitors and degraders, elucidating their roles in various tumor types, with a particular emphasis on the applications in breast cancer. The advancement of CDK12/13–targeted therapeutics represents a convergence of fields and produces proven clinical benefits in oncology, pharmacology, and related disciplines. Consequently, elucidating the therapeutic mechanisms of CDK12/13 inhibition has significant translational value for precision oncology. In addition, through bioinformatics techniques, we identified new candidate targets for CDK12/13, contributing to the enrichment of the regulatory network of CDK12/13.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8966,"journal":{"name":"Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy","volume":"196 ","pages":"Article 119077"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146185811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Folic acid (FA) receptor signaling can suppress generation of neuropathogenic amyloid-beta (Aβ) induced by high extracellular glucose, suggesting that enhanced activation of this pathway could be a therapeutic strategy against DE-associated dementia, but the precise molecular signaling mechanisms are unclear. We report that high glucose levels increased the expression of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and β-secretase (BACE1) in cultured neurons and concomitantly induced amyloidogenesis, while FA treatment suppressed high glucose-stimulated expression of APP and BACE1, Aβ release, and accumulation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species. Expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) was minimal under high glucose conditions, but was significantly upregulated together with downstream antioxidant enzymes following FA co-treatment. High glucose stimulation also increased folate receptor 1 (FOLR1) mRNA expression, suggesting a compensatory protective response. While treatment with 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), the activated form of folate, did not significantly alter high glucose-induced upregulation of APP and BACE1, knockdown of <em>FOLR1</em> mRNA reduced high glucose-stimulated Nrf2 expression and further augmented APP and BACE1 expression under high glucose conditions. Treatment with the STAT3 inhibitor 5′15-DPP also abolished high glucose-stimulated Nrf2 expression and increased APP and BACE1 expression levels. These findings indicate that FA/FOLR1 activation suppresses high glucose-induced amyloidogenesis by mitigating mitochondrial oxidative stress via STAT3/Nrf2 pathway signaling. In conclusion, present study suggests that the FA/FOLR1/STAT3/Nrf2 pathway is an effective therapeutic target for DE.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8966,"journal":{"name":"Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy","volume":"196 ","pages":"Article 119074"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146115238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
