Abstract A106: Development of IDX-1197, a novel, selective, and highly potent PARP inhibitor
Abstract Background: PARP inhibitors have demonstrated clinically meaningful increase in progression-free survival as a single agent in women with recurrent ovarian cancer following a response to platinum-based chemotherapy. However, there still needs more improvement in efficacy because PARP inhibitors have comparatively low efficacy in non-germline BRCA-mutated patients. We aimed to develop ...

The Role of Exosome RNA in Cancer
The Relationship Between Exosomes and Cancer Exosomes are nanoscale vesicles derived from intracellular lysosomes that shuttle a variety of biomolecules, such as nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, amino acids and metabolites, and play a key role in regulating intercellular communication. Exosomes can be secreted by almost all types of cells, including immune cells, blood cells, neuronal cells, ...

Expanded and Activated Natural Killer Cells for Immunotherapy of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Abstract Viral infection of the liver is a major risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Natural killer (NK) cells recognize virally infected and oncogenically transformed cells, suggesting a therapeutic role for NK-cell infusions in HCC. Using the K562-mb15-41BBL cell line as a stimulus, we obtained large numbers of activated NK cells from the peripheral blood of healthy donors. ...

Abstract 4842: A comparative preclinical study of PARP inhibitors demonstrates superb properties for IDX-1197
Abstract Background PARP inhibitors have demonstrated clinically meaningful increase in progression-free survival as a single agent in women with recurrent ovarian cancer following a response to platinum-based chemotherapy. We aimed to develop a novel PARP inhibitor that may have potent antitumor efficacy. IDX-1197 is a novel, potent, selective, and orally bioavailable poly (ADP-ribose) ...

It turns out that p53 is destroyed in a whole new way
Glioblastoma is a deadly brain cancer with a dire prognosis. Unlike most cancers, it still grows in the presence of the p53 protein. Scientists have been unable to solve the case for decades...until now. CSHL scientists have discovered that a protein called BRD8 goes out of control in glioblastoma, paralyzing P53. The discovery could help turn this deadly cancer into a treatable disease. Brain ...

The Tumor Marker: Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor 165 (VEGF165)
Tumors and Blood Vessel Growth Tumor, as an abnormal mass of cells, has blood vessels of various sizes that can be seen everywhere on the surface and deep within it. Nutrients for life are continuously supplied to the depths of tumor cells through these blood vessels. As the tumor continues to grow, nearby blood vessels also undergo rapid and chaotic growth, with these newly formed capillaries ...

8 Health Benefits of Taking Probiotics
Probiotics refer to a certain number of live microorganisms that can have a beneficial effect on the health of the host. At present, there are more than 20 kinds of probiotics used in China, mainly including Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Clostridium butyricum, Saccharomyces boulardii, Enterococcus, Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus cereus. Probiotics have eight major functions. 1. Maintain ...

Deletion of vascular endothelial growth factor c (vegf-c) and vegf-d is not equivalent to vegf receptor 3 deletion in mouse embryos
Lymphatic vessels play an important role in the regulation of tissue fluid balance, immune responses, and fat adsorption and are involved in diseases including lymphedema and tumor metastasis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor 3 (VEGFR-3) is necessary for development of the blood vasculature during early embryogenesis, but later, VEGFR-3 expression becomes restricted to the ...

How Hyaluronic Acid Promotes Pancreatic Cancer Cell Growth Revealed
Hyaluronic acid is known to be present in pancreatic tumors. However, in a new study, researchers from the University of Michigan Roger Cancer Center and the University of Pennsylvania found that hyaluronic acid also acts as a food for cancer cells. The results provide new insights into how pancreatic cancer cells grow and point to new possibilities for the treatment of this cancer. The relevant ...

The C-Myc Oncogene Is Associated with Aging, New Study Found
The Myc gene is one of the most important drivers of cancer in mice and humans. Myc also plays a newly discovered key role in aging, according to a new study in Cell Reports by researchers at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. The study, led by Edward V. Prochownik, MD, UPMC Children's Hematology/Oncology Division and Paul C. Gaffney ...

Antibody-peptide epitope conjugate (APEC), another disguise for ADC
Background Tumor immunotherapies compose immune checkpoint inhibitors, therapeutic antibodies, tumor vaccines, cellular therapies, and so on. However, each has its own set of issues, such as the fact that CAR-T therapy is an individual therapy that is costly; immune checkpoint inhibitors are highly effective, but only in some patients. The researchers expose us to a radically different way of ...

The Development Process of DUBTAC
The use of Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) to degrade dysfunctional proteins has shown great potential to target proteins that were previously considered “undruggable”, and several projects have entered clinical evaluation worldwide. Aberrant protein degradation, in fact, is also a pathogenic mechanism in some diseases, such as cystic fibrosis (CF) and some forms of cancer. ...

Mapk4 May Be a New Target for the Treatment of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
There is now growing evidence that the MAPK4 enzyme may be involved in cancer growth and resistance to specific therapies. Recently, an article titled " MAPK4 promotes triple negative breast cancer growth and reduces tumor sensitivity to PI3K blockade" was published in Nature Communications. By analyzing public genome databases, the researchers found that a large number of triple-negative ...

Significance of Diagnostic Enzyme Detection
Serum enzyme tests have been used in clinical practice for a long time, such as increased amylase activity in serum and urine of patients with acute pancreatitis. In the 1930s, some scholars reported that the determination of serum lipase and alkaline phosphatase activities is helpful for the diagnosis of pancreatitis and bone diseases, respectively. After the 1950s, the application of serum ...
