Using targeted therapy to promote a pro-inflammatory tumour microenvironment and anti-tumour immune response in high grade serous ovarian cancer. (PubMed, Br J Cancer)
CHK1i+LDHU is a promising therapy for chemotherapy-resistant HGSOC, combining direct cytotoxic effects with reprogramming the TIME to reduce immunosuppression and activate a CD8+ T cell-dependent anti-tumour response.

BMX inhibition overcomes small cell lung cancer chemoresistance by stabilizing E2F1 via ERK1/2-Cyclin D1/CDK4/6 axis. (PubMed, Signal Transduct Target Ther)
E2F1 knockdown decreased the expression of genes associated with cell cycle regulation, migration, invasion, and DNA repair, further sensitizing chemoresistant SCLC cells to cisplatin...In vivo xenograft models demonstrated that the combination significantly inhibited tumor growth without causing significant toxicity. Our findings reveal the molecular mechanisms of SCLC chemoresistance and suggest potential therapeutic strategies targeting the BMX-E2F1 axis to overcome this challenge.

Chemotherapy Supports Cancer Cell Dissemination in a Melanoma Preclinical Model. (PubMed, Asian Pac J Cancer Prev)
Taken together, dacarbazine and the miR-204-5p mimic favor the dissemination of B16 melanoma cells in the lungs, which may support further metastatic development. Although miR-204-5p has been described as a tumor-suppressive microRNA in melanoma, the application of a synthetic mimic to overexpress it in distant organs promoted tumor cell dissemination.

NQO1-Mediated Anoikis Resistance and Immune Evasion Define a High-Risk Multi-Omic Subtype for Precision Management of T1 High-Grade Bladder Cancer. (PubMed, Adv Sci (Weinh))
Pharmacologic inhibition of NQO1 using skullcapflavone II restores apoptotic sensitivity and enhances cisplatin efficacy, resulting in significant tumor suppression with favorable tolerability in preclinical models...Validation across seven independent cohorts, demonstrates robust performance in identifying patients at risk of progression and BCG failure. These findings establish a biologically grounded framework for precision management of T1HG bladder cancer.

Cisplatin Promotes Immunosuppression in Ovarian Cancer by Enhancing miR-181a-5p-Enriched Extracellular Vesicles to Drive Regulatory T Cell Differentiation. (PubMed, J Extracell Vesicles)
Importantly, inhibition of miR-181a-5p abrogated the Treg-promoting effect of CDDP-induced tumour-derived EVs, a finding further validated in vivo, where blockade of miR-181a-5p not only impaired Treg differentiation but also restored T-cell-mediated antitumour immunity and restrained tumour growth. Together, these findings uncover a previously unrecognised mechanism by which CDDP exacerbates immunosuppression via miR-181a-5p-enriched EVs and suggest that targeting this pathway could improve the therapeutic efficacy of combination immunotherapy in ovarian cancer.

Interaction of copper(II) (3 + 2) N-chelating complexes with DNA and BSA: hydrolytic DNA cleavage and ROS-mediated apoptosis. (PubMed, Dalton Trans)
They are notable for exhibiting cytotoxicity against human cervical carcinoma (HeLa) and human lung epithelial adenocarcinoma (A549) cell lines with potency greater than cisplatin, demonstrating that they have the potential to be effective anticancer drugs...These complexes can also stop the proliferation of A549 cancer cells by causing cell cycle arrest at the S-phase. Their efficiency as promising drugs for targeted cancer treatment is highlighted in this study.
