Capsaicin triggers autophagic cell survival which drives epithelial mesenchymal transition and chemoresistance in bladder cancer cells in an Hedgehog-dependent manner [PDF]

, 2016
Bladder cancer (BC) is a common urologic tumor characterized by high risk of recurrence and mortality. Capsaicin (CPS), used as an intravesical drug for overactive bladder, was demonstrated to induce cell death in different cancer cells including BC ...

Mature Tertiary Lymphoid Structures Indicate Good Chemotherapy Response and Prognosis in Advanced Colorectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In advanced colorectal cancer, tumors with mature tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) exhibited abundant infiltration of CD3‐ and CD8‐positive lymphocytes in both primary and metastatic sites, indicating an activated immune response. The presence of mature TLS was also associated with favorable chemotherapy sensitivity and improved prognosis.

Germline and Somatic DNA Damage Repair Gene Mutations and Overall Survival in Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Patients Treated with FOLFIRINOX [PDF]

, 2018
Purpose: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal cancer with lack of predictive biomarkers. We conducted a study to assess DNA damage repair (DDR) gene mutations as a predictive biomarker in PDAC patients treated with FOLFIRINOX ...

Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles With Customized Drug Ratio/Loading for Effective Treatment of Gemcitabine‐Resistant Pancreatic Tumors

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Redox responsive mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were engineered to deliver gemcitabine (Gem) and cisplatin (cisPt) at defined ratios to overcome chemoresistance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Optimized Gem MSNs and Gem cisPt MSNs enhanced cytotoxicity in murine and human Gem resistant models, with select formulations inducing ...

Gender effects on cytidine analogue metabolism and myelodysplastic syndrome treatment outcomes [PDF]

, 2012
In vivo, half-lives of cytidine analogues such as 5-azacytidine and decitabine, used to treat myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), are determined largely by cytidine deaminase (CDA), an enzyme that rapidly metabolizes these drugs into inactive uridine ...

HERMIONE: a randomized Phase 2 trial of MM-302 plus trastuzumab versus chemotherapy of physician's choice plus trastuzumab in patients with previously treated, anthracycline-naïve, HER2-positive, locally advanced/metastatic breast cancer. [PDF]

, 2016
BackgroundHuman epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer is a particularly aggressive form of the disease, and ultimately progresses in patients with metastases on standard therapies.

Therapeutic potential of thalidomide for gemcitabine-resistant bladder cancer

International Journal of Oncology, 2015
Controversial effects of thalidomide for solid malignancies have been reported. In the present study, we evaluate the effects of thalidomide for transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), the most common type of bladder cancer. Thalidomide precipitates were observed when its DMSO solution was added to the culture medium.

Advancing design strategies in smart stimulus‐responsive liposomes for drug release and nanomedicine

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of stimulus‐responsive liposomes designed for controlled drug release and nanomedicine. The innermost circle represents different liposomal structures, including unilamellar, multilamellar, and multivesicular liposomes. The middle layer illustrates the responsive phospholipid components.

Potential Development of Tumor-Targeted Oral Anti-Cancer Prodrugs: Amino Acid and Dipeptide Monoester Prodrugs of Gemcitabine

Molecules, 2017
One of the main obstacles for cancer therapies is to deliver medicines effectively to target sites. Since stroma cells are developed around tumors, chemotherapeutic agents have to go through stroma cells in order to reach tumors.
