Effect of mevalonate, zoledronate and BCG on monocyte/macrophage phenotype

open access: yesСибирский научный медицинский журнал, 2023
Cells of innate immunity, mainly monocytes/macrophages, form a long-term nonspecific immunological memory during the initial encounter with the pathogen, the so-called trained immunity.

Prospects for the use of statins in antiviral therapy [PDF]

open access: yesКлиническая микробиология и антимикробная химиотерапия, 2023
Inhibitors of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase, in addition to suppressing cholesterol synthesis, have an antiviral effect. Clinical studies have shown antiviral efficacy of statins against COVID-19, HCV, HBV, RSV, HIV, influenza viruses.

c-Myc Sustains Pancreatic Cancer Cell Survival and mutp53 Stability through the Mevalonate Pathway

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
It has been shown that wild-type (wt)p53 inhibits oncogene c-Myc while mutant (mut)p53 may transactivate it, with an opposite behavior that frequently occurs in the crosstalk of wt or mutp53 with molecules/pathways promoting carcinogenesis.
