Disaggregation-Activated pan-COX Imaging Agents for Human Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2024 Apr 12:e202405525. doi: 10.1002/anie.202405525. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCancer stem cells are pivotal players in tumors initiation, growth, and metastasis. While several markers have been identified, there remain challenges particularly in heterogeneous malignancies like adult soft tissue sarcomas, where conventional markers are inherently overexpressed. Here, we designed BODIPY scaffold fluorescence probes (BD-IMC-1, BD-IMC-2) that activate via disaggregation targeting for cyclooxygenase (COX), a potential marker for CSCs in sarcoma in clinical pathology. Based on their structures, BD-IM...

Machine Learning as a Diagnostic and Prognostic Tool for Predicting Thrombosis in Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review
This study was conducted per Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Databases Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane, and ClinicalTrials.gov, were searched from inception to September 15, 2023, for studies evaluating the use of ML models for the prediction of thrombosis in cancer patients. Search terms “machine learning,” “artificial intelligence,” “thrombosis,” and “cancer” were used. Studies that examined adult cancer patients using any ML model were included. Two independent reviewers conducted study selection and data extraction. Three hundred citations were screened, of which...

Management of sotorasib-related adverse events and hepatotoxicities following anti-PD-(L)1 therapy: Experience with sotorasib in two French anti-cancer centers and practical guidance proposal
One of the most frequent oncogenic event in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a glycine to cysteine substitution in position 12 in the V-ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) gene i.e., the KRASG12C mutation, detected in 13  % of the cases [1]. (Source: Lung Cancer)

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1447: Emerging Therapies in Kirsten Rat Sarcoma Virus (+) Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
Syrigos Kirsten rat sarcoma virus (KRAS) is the most frequently found oncogene in human cancers, including non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). For many years, KRAS was considered “undruggable” due to its structure and difficult targeting. However, the discovery of the switch II region in the KRAS-G12C-mutated protein has changed the therapeutic landscape with the design and development of novel direct KRAS-G12C inhibitors. Sotorasib and adagrasib are FDA-approved targeted agents for pre-treated patients with KRAS-G12C-mutated NSCLC. Despite promising results, the efficacy of these novel inhi...

Metabolic fingerprinting by nuclear magnetic resonance of hepatocellular carcinoma cells during p53 reactivation-induced senescence
NMR Biomed. 2024 Apr 8:e5157. doi: 10.1002/nbm.5157. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCellular senescence is characterized by stable cell cycle arrest. Senescent cells exhibit a senescence-associated secretory phenotype that can promote tumor progression. The aim of our study was to identify specific nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy-based markers of cancer cell senescence. For metabolic studies, we employed murine liver carcinoma Harvey Rat Sarcoma Virus (H-Ras) cells, in which reactivation of p53 expression induces senescence. Senescent and nonsenescent cell extracts were subjected to high-resolution proton (1H)...
