Loss of ELF2 drives topotecan resistance in retinoblastoma revealed by genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screening [PDF]
The topoisomerase I inhibitor topotecan is an effective chemotherapeutic agent for retinoblastoma; however, treatment resistance remains a major clinical challenge, and its mechanisms remain elusive.

High-dose topotecan (90 and 180 μG) for recurrent subretinal and vitreous seeding in retinoblastoma [PDF]
Purpose: To report on the use of intravitreal high-dose topotecan (90 and 180 μG) for recurrent subretinal and vitreous retinoblastoma, the toxicity of these injections, and the use of a 180-μG injection of intravitreal topotecan in humans. Observations:

In Vitro Stability and Preclinical Safety Evaluation of High-Dose Intravitreal Topotecan in Rabbits: Impact of Dose and Concentration [PDF]
Purpose: To assess the stability of concentrated solutions of topotecan and the ocular and systemic safety of administering repeated very high doses of intravitreal (IVi) topotecan in rabbits. Design: Experimental study.

Suprachoroidal Injection of Topotecan for Retinoblastoma: A Preclinical Study [PDF]
Purpose: To assess whether levels of topotecan that are expected to be therapeutic against retinoblastoma tumors can be achieved within the retina and choroid by suprachoroidal injection (SCI) and to assess toxicity and safety in vivo.

Molecular signatures of xenograft colorectal cancer in mice treated with topotecan: A mass spectrometry-based study [PDF]
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, yet it continues to have a low survival rate, largely due to the lack of effective treatments.

Partial Response in an RRx-001-Primed Patient with Refractory Small-Cell Lung Cancer after a Third Introduction of Platinum Doublets. [PDF]
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), initially exquisitely sensitive to first-line cisplatin/etoposide, invariably relapses and acquires a multidrug chemoresistant phenotype that generally renders retreatment with first-line therapy both futile and ...

The inhibition of autophagy sensitises colon cancer cells with wild-type p53 but not mutant p53 to topotecan treatment. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Topotecan produces DNA damage that induces autophagy in cancer cells. In this study, sensitising topotecan to colon cancer cells with different P53 status via modulation of autophagy was examined.

Topotecan is a clinically active anticancer agent for the management of various human tumors. While the principal mechanism of tumor cell killing by topotecan is due to its interactions with topoisomerase I and formation of DNA double-strand breaks ...

Relationship between protein biomarkers of chemotherapy response and microsatellite status, tumor mutational burden and PD-L1 expression in cancer patients. [PDF]
Chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapies are increasingly used in combinations. We determined associations between the presence of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapeutic biomarkers and protein markers of potential chemotherapy response.
