Etoposide‐induced cancer cell death: roles of mitochondrial VDAC1 and calpain, and resistance mechanisms

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The complex mode of action of the topoisomerase II inhibitor etoposide in triggering apoptosis involves several mechanisms: overexpression of the mitochondrial protein VDAC1, leading to its oligomerization and formation of a large channel that mediates the release of pro‐apoptotic protein; and overexpression of the apoptosis regulators p53, Bax, and ...

Point-of-Care Therapeutic Drug Monitoring for Precision Dosing of Immunosuppressive Drugs.

The Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine, 2020
BACKGROUND Immunosuppressive drugs (ISD) are an essential tool in the treatment of transplant rejection and immune-mediated diseases. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) for determination of ISD concentrations in biological samples is an important ...

Respiratory complex I‐mediated NAD+ regeneration regulates cancer cell proliferation through the transcriptional and translational control of p21Cip1 expression by SIRT3 and SIRT7

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
NAD+ regeneration by mitochondrial complex I NADH dehydrogenase is important for cancer cell proliferation. Specifically, NAD+ is necessary for the activities of NAD+‐dependent deacetylases SIRT3 and SIRT7, which suppress the expression of p21Cip1 cyclin‐dependent kinase inhibitor, an antiproliferative molecule, at the translational and transcriptional

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in Oncology: International Association of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Clinical Toxicology Recommendations for 5‐Fluorouracil Therapy

Clinical pharmacology and therapy, 2018
5‐Fluorouracil (5‐FU) is dosed by body surface area, a practice unable to reduce the interindividual variability in exposure. Endorsed by the International Association of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Clinical Toxicology (IATDMCT), we evaluated ...

Peripheral blood leukocyte signatures as biomarkers in relapsed ovarian cancer patients receiving combined anti‐CD73/anti‐PD‐L1 immunotherapy in arm A of the NSGO‐OV‐UMB1/ENGOT‐OV30 trial

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Using mass cytometry, we analyzed serial blood samples from patients with relapsed epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) treated with oleclumab–durvalumab combination immunotherapy in the NSGO‐OV‐UMB1/ENGOT‐OV30 trial. Our analysis identified potential predictive, monitoring, and response biomarkers detectable through liquid biopsy. These findings facilitate

Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (K.A.P.) of doctors prescribing Vancomycin in a tertiary care hospital towards Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (T.D.M.) of Vancomycin

Recent Trends in Pharmacology
Objective: Vancomycin is frequently prescribed to treat infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Precise dosing through therapeutic drug monitoring is critical for optimising treatment outcomes, minimising toxicity, and reducing ...

Phenytoin: A Guide to Therapeutic Drug Monitoring

Proceedings of Singapore Healthcare, 2013
Therapeutic drug monitoring of phenytoin is carried out to ensure effective and safe levels. Some of the factors complicating phenytoin dosing include a narrow therapeutic window, high degree of protein binding, and nonlinear pharmacokinetics.

Computational evidence on repurposing the anti-influenza drugs baloxavir acid and baloxavir marboxil against COVID-19 [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The main reasons for the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic are the unavailability of recommended efficacious drugs or vaccines along with the human to human transmission nature of SARS-CoV-2 virus. So, there is urgent need to search appropriate therapeutic approach by repurposing approved drugs.

TOMM20 as a driver of cancer aggressiveness via oxidative phosphorylation, maintenance of a reduced state, and resistance to apoptosis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
TOMM20 increases cancer aggressiveness by maintaining a reduced state with increased NADH and NADPH levels, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and apoptosis resistance while reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Conversely, CRISPR‐Cas9 knockdown of TOMM20 alters these cancer‐aggressive traits.
