Everolimus (EVER) and tozasertib (TOZA) encapsulated in NP and targeted with dinutuximab β (DTX-β). DTX-β/EVER-TOZA@PEG-b-PLGA may exert cytotoxic and apoptotic effects in NB. The use of targeted nanocarriers in NB treatment may enhance cytotoxic and apoptotic responses specifically in the tumor region.

Drug sensitivity analysis indicates that the RORC gene is responsive to agents such as VX-680, MG-132, and Sunitinib. Cell biology experiments have confirmed that RORC overexpression significantly diminishes the proliferation, invasion, and migration capabilities of gastric cancer cells. Integrating bioinformatics and cell biology experiments suggests that RORC, a gene associated with rhythm regulation, acts as a tumor suppressor gene that is underexpressed in gastric cancer, thereby serving as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for this malignancy.

To explore therapeutic implications, transcriptomics-guided drug repositioning combined with molecular docking analysis identified five candidate compounds-celastrol, fedratinib, pevonedistat, tozasertib, and withaferin A-predicted to target key network hubs. Overall, this in silico study provides a ceRNA-centered regulatory framework for GC and prioritizes biologically informed biomarkers and repositioned drug candidates with potential applicability across other malignancies to converge precision oncology.

Drug sensitivity prediction indicated that high-risk patients may respond better to agents such as Tozasertib and Navitoclax. This study establishes a robust, demethylation-driven six-gene signature that effectively stratifies HCC patients into distinct prognostic groups. The model integrates multi-omic insights into tumor biology and therapeutic vulnerability, providing a clinically actionable framework for personalized risk assessment and treatment planning in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Notably, treatment with ENMD-2076 (identified through Connectivity Map analysis) significantly reduced KIF20A expression, attenuated CSC characteristics, augmented cisplatin sensitivity, and exerted marked antitumor activity. These findings elucidate a novel KIF20A-DHX9-SOX2 regulatory axis that simultaneously governs CSC maintenance and ferroptosis evasion in OSCC. Targeting KIF20A, either as a monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy, may offer a promising strategy to improve therapeutic outcomes in OSCC.

Finally, we propose a novel treatment strategy involving the synergistic inhibition of bladder cancer cell growth by combining TAK-901 with Afatinib. Our research strongly suggests that Aurora A and Aurora B are promising epigenetic therapeutic targets in bladder cancer. Furthermore, TAK-901 can function as a targeted kinase inhibitor and EGFR inhibitor for the treatment of bladder cancer by activating the FOXO signaling pathway, which induces apoptosis in bladder cancer cells.

Lastly, MMPBSA showed a higher negative free energy in the presence of Jervine than VX-680 when complexed with AURKB. Finally, our results suggest that Jervine is a potent, dual-targeting kinase inhibitor with favourable pharmacokinetic and therapeutic properties, warranting further experimental validation for anticancer drug development.

In this study, OATP1B1 uptake function was found to be significantly suppressed by SRC proto-oncogene, non-receptor tyrosine kinase family kinase inhibitors, with SU6656 demonstrating the most potent inhibitory effect...Abrogation of Caveolin-1 exhibited no effect on the interaction between YES-1 and OATP1B1 but reduced the phosphorylation level of the transporter. Taken together, inhibitors of YES-1 may alter the uptake function of OATP1B1, potentially leading to drug-drug interactions related to post-translational modification.

This validated mitochondrial risk model delivers a clinically actionable biomarker for BLCA prognosis stratification and guides personalized therapeutic selection, enabling precision treatment intensification.

Drug sensitivity analysis identified BX-795 and tozasertib as potential treatments for tumors with high IGSF8 expression. Knockdown of IGSF8 significantly inhibited the proliferation ability of prostate cancer cells. Our findings indicated that IGSF8 might be used as a potential prognostic marker and therapeutic target for various cancers.

Mechanistic studies using immunoblotting, immunofluorescence staining, and flow cytometry showed that 9h outperforms ENMD-2076 in inhibiting Aurora A kinase activation, preventing spindle formation, arresting the cell cycle, and inducing cell apoptosis. Thus, 9h has the potential for further optimization and is a promising anticancer drug candidate.
