Optimizing the dosing schedule of l-asparaginase improves its anti-tumor activity in breast tumor-bearing mice

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2018
Proliferation of acute lymphoblastic leukemic cells is nutritionally dependent on the external supply of asparagine. l-asparaginase, an enzyme hydrolyzing l-asparagine in blood, is used for treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemic and other related ...

Vincristine could partly suppress stromal support to T-ALL blasts during pegylated arginase I treatment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BACKGROUND: Relapsed T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) has been an incurable disease. Recent reports showed that an L-arginine depleting enzyme, pegylated arginase (BCT-100) may be effective against T-ALL cells.

Peripheral T‐Cell Lymphomas in Southern Taiwan: Epidemiology, Treatment Patterns, and Long‐Term Outcomes

open access: yeseJHaem, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Peripheral T‐cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are heterogeneous neoplasms with poor prognosis and marked geographic variation. Data from Taiwan remain limited. We conducted a 15‐year retrospective cohort study of 249 patients diagnosed with PTCL at two major centers in southern Taiwan between 2010 and 2024 to characterize regional epidemiology, real ...

Enhancing antitumour response to proteasome inhibitors with inhibitors of insulin‐degrading enzyme, a new molecular vulnerability in multiple myeloma

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 12, Page 3355-3376, June 2026.
Inhibitors of insulin‐degrading enzyme boost PI cytotoxicity through an increased sensitivity of proteasome to PI inhibitors, induction of ISR, DNA damage and Myc down‐regulation. They overcome PI resistance in vitro and induce tumour regression in vivo.

Molecular phylogenetic characterization of L-asparaginase-producing endophytic fungi inhabiting Prunus africana and Periploca linearifolia: Effect of incubation time and pH on enzyme production

open access: yesScientific African
The therapeutic use of L-asparaginase derived from bacterial sources has been constrained by various challenges, including toxicity and repression. This has prompted the exploration of alternative sources, particularly eukaryotic microorganisms like ...

Mediastinal Lymphoma in 70 Dogs Treated With Lomustine or Anthracycline‐Based Multi‐Agent Chemotherapy

open access: yesVeterinary and Comparative Oncology, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 382-392, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Primary mediastinal lymphoma is rare in dogs and literature exploring this disease is limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe presentation, treatment and outcome in a large cohort of dogs with mediastinal lymphoma and explore prognostic factors including chemotherapy protocol. This retrospective multi‐institute study included

ETV4 Promotes Colorectal Cancer Progression by Reprogramming Asparagine Metabolism to Remodel the Stromal Microenvironment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
ETV4 coordinates a dual transcriptional program by upregulating MET and asparagine synthetase (ASNS). The resulting asparagine (Asn) secretion acts as a metabolic signal, reprogramming hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and primary cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) toward an inflammatory phenotype. These activated stromal cells release HGF to sustain the
