Mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities of the ribotoxic stress response in cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cancer cells' high translational demand creates opportunities to therapeutically target ribosome function. Ribosome stalling and collisions activate ZAKα and the ribotoxic stress response (RSR), which can trigger rapid, p53‐independent apoptosis in cancer.

An allosteric inhibitor of the Zika virus NS2B-NS3 protease with oral efficacy in mouse models

Nature Communications
The mosquito-transmitted Zika virus (ZIKV) poses a global health threat, with no approved antiviral drugs or vaccines currently available. Here, we report the discovery of a series of ZIKV NS3 protease inhibitors identified through phenotypic high ...

Profiling neoadjuvant therapy response in rectal cancer using meta‐analysis of publicly available transcriptomic RNA‐seq datasets

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study integrates publicly available transcriptomic datasets to identify molecular signatures associated with response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer. By analyzing a combination of multiple cohorts with bioinformatics approaches, we reveal biological pathways and immune‐related features that may improve ...

How drug repurposing can advance drug discovery: challenges and opportunities [PDF]

Traditional de novo drug discovery, which typically presents an 11% approval rate from phase I trials and even higher failure rates in fields like neurodegeneration, often requires two to three billion dollars and 10–17 years per new drug.

The VHL tumor suppressor at the crossroad of protein folding, aggregation, and cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Mutations, environmental stress, and chaperone dysfunction can destabilize pVHL, promoting its conversion from the native folded state into amyloid‐like assemblies. This transition may contribute to protein storage, cell dormancy, survival, and drug resistance.

Thyrogrit, supplemented with a sub-optimal dose of levothyroxine, restores thyroid function in rat model of propylthiouracil-induced hypothyroidism

Clinical Phytoscience
Background Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine ailment, whose current standard of care is hormonal replacement therapy with levothyroxine (LT4). There is a medical need for alternative and safer therapies as LT4 is associated with special treatment ...

Extracellular vesicle lipidomics liquid biopsy reveals systemic and tumor microenvironment metabolic reprogramming in ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicle (EV) lipidomic profiling of plasma and ascites from patients with high‐grade serous ovarian cancer and of ovarian cancer cell lines reveals enrichment of triglycerides (TGs), diacylglycerols (DGs), phosphatidylcholine (PCs), sphingomyelins (SMs), reflecting tumor metabolic reprogramming.

A role for eIF5A in translational control of stress‐inducible proteins in multiple myeloma cell lines

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of eIF5A rewires thapsigargin‐mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress responses in multiple myeloma cells by selective translation of mRNA transcripts, consequently dampening thapsigargin‐induced unfolded protein response (UPR) activation and shifting the balance from induction of apoptosis toward cell survival and proliferation.
