SYK inhibitor

7d
A phase I open label study of fostamatinib, a SYK inhibitor, in patients with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. (PubMed, Leuk Lymphoma)
Lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) are commonly managed with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, luspatercept, or hypomethylating agents. There were no dose-limiting toxicities. Although safe, fostamatinib demonstrated no clinical benefit, underscoring the need for alternative strategies to modulate inflammatory signaling in MDS/CMML.

PHF23-Related Prognostic Signature Modulates Immune Microenvironment and Promotes Tumor Malignancy in Glioma. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Our results identify PHF23 as a critical oncogenic driver in glioma and support the PHF23-RPS for risk stratification. Entospletinib may offer a potential immunomodulatory option for high-risk gliomas.

FLT3-SYK inhibitor and Ixazomib combination impact HOXA and oxidative stress control by β-catenin, SQSTM1 and NRF2 in AML. (PubMed, NPJ Precis Oncol)
Dual targeting of FLT3/SYK (TAK-659) and the proteasome (Ixazomib) showed strong synergy across genetically defined AML subsets, irrespective of FLT3 mutant status. These findings define a therapeutically targetable axis linking FLT3/SYK/β-catenin signaling to stress adaptation, provide a mechanistic basis for combinatorial targeting in high-risk AML. Trial registration: NCT04079738, Date of registration 03 September 2019.

MiR-31 suppresses lung adenocarcinoma cell proliferation through CDK1 and E2F2-mediated cell cycle arrest. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
Collectively, our study establishes miR-31 as a novel biomarker for LUAD proliferative potential and implicates the miR-31/CDK1-E2F2 network as a promising target for disrupting LUAD progression. These findings establish a miRNA-centric precision therapeutic paradigm for effectively suppressing oncogenic proliferation in LUAD.

The small-molecule Syk inhibitor R788 inhibits hematopoiesis and worsens anemia in sickle cell disease mice. (PubMed, Blood Vessel Thromb Hemost)
Severe anemia and neutropenia induced by R788 in the sickle mouse model suggests that concomitant use of Syk inhibitors with hydroxyurea in patients with SCD should be approached cautiously. Further research is required to clarify the benefits and risks of selective Syk inhibition in SCD and other hemolytic conditions exhibiting stress hematopoiesis.

Fostamatinib (R788), a spleen tyrosine kinase inhibitor, sensitizes pancreatic cancer cells to oncolytic vesicular stomatitis virus. (PubMed, Mol Ther Oncol)
Additionally, fostamatinib inhibited PDAC cell proliferation even in the absence of viral infection, while ruxolitinib did not. Our data suggest that fostamatinib may be repurposed as an effective drug that enhances OV therapy in PDAC by promoting OV replication and suppressing tumor growth.
