Synthetic lethal combination targeting BET uncovered intrinsic susceptibility of TNBC to ferroptosis – Science Advances

Posted: Published on August 23rd, 2020

INTRODUCTION Targeted therapy represents a powerful strategy to treat hormone receptors (estrogen and progesterone) or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)positive breast cancers. However, for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a particularly aggressive and heterogeneous disease, there are no effective targeted therapies and no precision therapeutic options (1, 2). Numerous studies suggest that targeting of specific signaling pathway or epigenetic mechanisms using monotherapeutic agents is not effective, whereas combination therapies of two or more molecular targets substantially improve clinical outcome Continue reading

Merck’s KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) in Combination With Chemotherapy Significantly Improved Overall Survival and Progression-Free Survival Compared With…

Posted: Published on August 21st, 2020

KENILWORTH, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, today announced that the pivotal Phase 3 KEYNOTE-590 trial evaluating KEYTRUDA, Mercks anti-PD-1 therapy, in combination with chemotherapy (cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil [5-FU]), met its primary endpoints of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for the first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic esophageal cancer. Based on an interim analysis conducted by an independent Data Monitoring Committee, KEYTRUDA in combination with chemotherapy demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in OS and PFS compared with chemotherapy (cisplatin plus 5-FU), the current standard of care, in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population Continue reading

Gliotoxin, identified from a screen of fungal metabolites, disrupts 7SK snRNP, releases P-TEFb, and reverses HIV-1 latency – Science Advances

Posted: Published on August 14th, 2020

INTRODUCTION Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) causes a drastic and immediate viral decrease by targeting distinct steps in the HIV-1 life cycle, effectively blocking replication and halting disease progression (13). However, cART does not target or eliminate HIV that persists in a latent state in cellular reservoirs. Continue reading

High-throughput 3D screening for differentiation of hPSC-derived cell therapy candidates – Science Advances

Posted: Published on August 10th, 2020

Abstract The emergence of several cell therapy candidates in the clinic is an encouraging sign for human diseases/disorders that currently have no effective treatment; however, scalable production of these cell therapies has become a bottleneck. To overcome this barrier, three-dimensional (3D) cell culture strategies have been considered for enhanced cell production Continue reading

Synaptic zinc inhibition of NMDA receptors depends on the association of GluN2A with the zinc transporter ZnT1 – Science Advances

Posted: Published on July 4th, 2020

INTRODUCTION Zinc is a neuromodulator that regulates glutamatergic, -aminobutyric acidmediated (GABAergic), and glycinergic synaptic transmission (17); short- and long-term synaptic plasticity (2, 812); auditory processing; and acuity for sensory stimulus discrimination (1315). The zinc transporter ZnT3 (Slc30a3) packages zinc into presynaptic vesicles of large populations of excitatory neurons in many brain regions, including the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, and dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) (16). During synaptic activity, vesicular zinc is released from ZnT3-containing terminals (1, 17) and diffuses across the synaptic cleft (4) to modulate a number of postsynaptic receptors (3, 6, 18, 19), including the highly zinc-sensitive N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) (2, 4, 20). Continue reading

Posted: Published on June 13th, 2020

KENILWORTH, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, today announced that the Phase 3 KEYNOTE-361 trial evaluating KEYTRUDA, Mercks anti-PD-1 therapy, in combination with chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (bladder cancer) did not meet its pre-specified dual primary endpoints of overall survival (OS) or progression-free survival (PFS), compared with standard of care chemotherapy. In the final analysis of the study, there was an improvement in OS and PFS for patients treated with KEYTRUDA in combination with chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin plus gemcitabine) compared to chemotherapy alone; however, these results did not meet statistical significance per the pre-specified statistical plan Continue reading

Retinoid X receptor alpha is a spatiotemporally predominant therapeutic target for anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity – Science Advances

Posted: Published on February 1st, 2020

INTRODUCTION Anthracycline is a group of chemotherapeutic drugs that are being actively used to treat broad types of cancer (1, 2), but the major clinical complication for these antibiotics is their dose-dependent cardiotoxicity (1). Several mechanisms have been proposed for anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC), including topoisomerase II (coded by TOP2B) as a primary mediator (3). On the basis of these mechanisms, dexrazoxane, an iron chelator, has been successfully developed as the only U.S Continue reading
