Octreotide may improve pharyngocutaneous fistula healing through downregulation of cystatins: A pilot study

open access: yesLaryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, 2023
Background Pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) and salivary leaks are well known complications of head and neck surgery. The medical management of PCF has included the use of octreotide without a well‐defined understanding of its therapeutic mechanism.

Octreotide acetate enhanced radio sensitivity and induced apoptosis in MCF7 breast cancer cell line

open access: yesJournal of Radiation Research and Applied Sciences, 2022
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women. Radiotherapy is one of the treatment options for breast cancer; it plays a significant role in tumour control after surgery. However, radio resistance developed by tumour cells is

Somatostatin receptor 4 (SSTR4) is a tumor suppressor in cutaneous and head & neck squamous cell carcinomas

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study identifies somatostatin receptor 4 (Sstr4) as a critical tumor suppressor against skin and head/neck cancers (HNSCC, cSCC, and BCC). The loss of Sstr4 removes a check on cell growth, causing hyperactivation of the MAPK‐ERK signaling pathway (↑).

AI‐Designed Cyclic Peptides Enable Controllable Modulation of the CD28 Immune Checkpoint

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
AI‐designed cyclic peptides enable controllable modulation of the CD28 immune checkpoint through reversible disruption of CD28‐CD80/CD86 interactions. The lead peptide, CIP‐3, suppresses T‐cell activation without intrinsic agonist activity, demonstrates dose‐dependent efficacy in a murine colitis model, and attenuates inflammatory cytokine production ...

Phosphorylation of sst2 receptors in neuroendocrine tumors after octreotide treatment of patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Somatostatin analogues, which are used to treat neuroendocrine tumors, target the high levels of somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (SSTR1; alias sst2) expressed in these cancers.

Development of a method for preparing octreotide derivative for diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors

open access: yesБюллетень сибирской медицины, 2019
Currently the development of technologies for labeling somatostatin with technetium-99m for diagnosing radionuclide neuroendocrine tumors is under way. Somatostatin analogues are binded with technetium99m only by the preliminary addition of a chelating ...

Targeting Lipopolysaccharide Transport Induces Membrane Lipid Remodeling and Sensitizes Acinetobacter baumannii to Colistin Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies C4 as a lead inhibitor of the Lpt system. Notably, C4 potentiates colistin activity by disrupting LPS transport and remodeling phospholipid homeostasis, revealing a functional interplay between the Lpt and Mla systems. These findings establish a mechanistic link between Lpt inhibition and membrane lipid remodeling, positioning Lpt–
