Targeting mitochondrial bioenergetics by combination treatment with imatinib and dichloroacetate in human erythroleukemic K ‑562 and colorectal HCT‑116 cancer cells
Int J Oncol. 2024 Apr;64(4):42. doi: 10.3892/ijo.2024.5630. Epub 2024 Mar 1.ABSTRACTTumor malignant cells are characterized by dysregulation of mitochondrial bioenergetics due to the 'Warburg effect'. In the present study, this metabolic imbalance was explored as a potential target for novel cancer chemotherapy. Imatinib (IM) downregulates the expression levels of SCΟ2 and FRATAXIN (FXN) genes involved in the heme‑dependent cytochrome c oxidase biosynthesis and assembly pathway in human erythroleukemic IM‑sensitive K‑562 chronic myeloid leukemia cells (K‑562). In the present study, it was investigated whether the ...

Imatinib treatment improves hyperglycaemic dysregulation in severe COVID-19: a secondary analysis of blood biomarkers in a randomised controlled trial
SARS-CoV-2 can induce insulin resistance, which is, among others, mediated by adipose tissue dysfunction and reduced angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) enzymatic activity. In SARS-CoV-2-infected mice, the ... (Source: Critical Care)

Navigating the Management of Chronic Phase CML in the Era of Generic BCR::ABL1 Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors
J Natl Compr Canc Netw. 2024 Feb;22(1):e237116. doi: 10.6004/jnccn.2023.7116.ABSTRACTOver the past several years, advances in research, treatment, and market dynamics have impacted treatment strategies in chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP). They include the broader availability of cost-effective generic imatinib, and soon other generic second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Access to affordable generics means that all patients with CML-CP should have access to safe and highly effective lifelong therapies. When overall survival is the treatment endpoint, imatinib provides a good treatment value...

Investigation of the mechanism of USP28-mediated IFITM3 elevation in BCR-ABL-dependent imatinib resistance in CML
Biomed Pharmacother. 2024 Feb 22;173:116315. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116315. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDue to resistance and BCR-ABLT315I-mutated, CML remains a clinical challenge. It needs new potential therapeutic targets to overcome CML resistance related to BCR-ABL. Our research revealed that the deubiquitinating enzyme USP28 was highly expressed in BCR-ABL-dependent CML patients. Similarly, a high expression of USP28 was found in the K562 cell line, particularly in the imatinib-resistant strains. Notably, USP28 directly interacted with BCR-ABL. Furthermore, when BCR-ABL and its mutant BCR-ABLT315I were overexpr...

Pharmacovigilance study of BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors: a safety analysis of the FDA adverse event reporting system
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study demonstrated that AE signals differ among the five BCR-ABL1 TKIs. Furthermore, each BCR-ABL1 TKI displayed several new signals. These findings provide valuable information for clinicians aiming to reduce the risk of AEs during BCR-ABL1 TKI treatment.PMID:38395895 | PMC:PMC10885429 | DOI:10.1186/s40360-024-00741-x (Source: BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology)

Tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance in de novo BCR::ABL1-positive BCP-ALL beyond kinase domain mutations
Blood Adv. 2024 Feb 22:bloodadvances.2023012162. doi: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2023012162. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA better understanding of ABL1-kinase domain mutation-independent causes of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) resistance is needed for BCR::ABL1-positive B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL). While TKIs have dramatically improved outcomes, a subset of patients still experiences relapsed or refractory disease. We aimed to identify potential biomarkers for intrinsic TKI resistance at diagnosis in 32 pediatric and 19 adult BCR::ABL1-positive BCP-ALL samples. Reduced ex vivo imatinib sensitivit...

Multi-target rational design and synthesis of novel diphenyl-tethered pyrazolopyrimidines targeting EGFR and topoisomerase II with potential DNA intercalation and apoptosis induction
Bioorg Chem. 2024 Feb 17;145:107223. doi: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107223. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHerein, we envisioned the design and synthesis of novel pyrazolopyrimidines (confirmed by elemental analysis, 1H and 13C NMR, and mass spectra) as multitarget-directed drug candidates acting as EGFR/TOPO II inhibitors, DNA intercalators, and apoptosis inducers. The target diphenyl-tethered pyrazolopyrimidines were synthesized starting from the reaction of phenyl hydrazine and ethoxymethylenemalononitrile to give aminopyrazole-carbonitrile 2. The latter hydrolysis with NaOH and subsequent reaction with 4-chlorobenzaldhyde a...
