SGLT2 is upregulated to acquire cisplatin resistance and SGLT2 inhibition reduces cisplatin resistance in hepatoblastoma
ConclusionsCisplatin-resistant hepatoblastoma cells exhibited upregulated SGLT2 expression and activated glucose uptake to survive under cisplatin stress. SGLT2 inhibition decreased cellular resistance to cisplatin. SGLT2 inhibition with cisplatin therapy could be a novel therapeutic strategy for cisplatin-resistant hepatoblastoma patients.

Looking beyond toxicities: Other health-related morbidities noted in childhood solid tumor survivors
Conclusions: A high prevalence of medically or surgically manageable conditions makes it imperative to keep these children under follow-up to address any health-related conditions they may subsequently develop. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 5182: Characterisation of Aberrant Metabolic Pathways in Hepatoblastoma Using Liquid Chromatography and Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)
This study demonstrates that the metabolomic landscape of HB is distinct from that of non-tumour (NT) liver tissue, with 35 differentially abundant metabolites mapping onto pathways such as fatty acid transport, glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, branched-chain amino acid degradation and glutathione synthesis. Targeted metabolomics demonstrated reduced short-chain acylcarnitines and a relative accumulation of branched-chain amino acids. Medium- and long-chain acylcarnitines in HB were similar to those in NT. The metabolomic changes reported are consistent with previously reported transcriptomic data from tumou...

Protective efficacy of Toxoplasma gondii infected cells-derived exosomes against chronic murine toxoplasmosis
Acta Trop. 2023 Oct 17:107041. doi: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2023.107041. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExosomes were isolated from T. gondii infected human hepatoblastoma cells using the exosome isolation kit and characterized by electron microscopy and Western blotting. Exosomes adsorbed to alum adjuvant were evaluated as a potential immunizing agent against murine chronic toxoplasmosis compared to excretory secretory antigens (ESA)-alum. Mice were immunized at days 1, 15 and 29. The levels of IgG, IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-10, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were determined using sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (sandwich ELISA)...

Drug metabolism and inflammation related distinct miRNA signature of colchicine resistant familial Mediterranean fever patients
CONCLUSION: This is the first study evaluating the role of miRNAs in colchicine resistant patients with FMF. Their differential expression may result in resistance to standard colchicine treatment by affecting the expression of genes that take place in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) or nuclear receptors that regulate ADME genes, thus potentially playing a role in both drug metabolism and inflammation.PMID:37844462 | DOI:10.1016/j.intimp.2023.111011 (Source: International Immunopharmacology)
