Immunoproteasomal Processing of IsoLG-Adducted Proteins Is Essential for Hypertension
CONCLUSIONS: These studies define a previously unknown role of the immunoproteasome in DCs and ECs in CD8+ T cell activation. The immunoproteasome in DCs and ECs is critical for isoLG-adduct presentation to CD8+ T cells, and in the endothelium, this guides homing and infiltration of T cells to specific tissues.PMID:38623763 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.124.324068 (Source: Circulation Research)

MiR-34c-5p Inhibition Affects Bax/Bcl2 Expression and Reverses Bortezomib Resistance in Multiple Myeloma Cells
This study aimed to determine the expression profile of XBP1, hsa-miR-34c-5p, hsa-miR-214, and hsa-miR-30c-2* in resistant and sensitive multiple myeloma cell lines to a proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib. After establishing bortezomib-resistant cells, the expression level of XBP1, hsa-miR-214, hsa-miR-34c-5p, and hsa-miR-30c-2* in both cell lines were assessed by qRT-PCR. Hsa-miR-34c-5p was suppressed to study its effect on the expression profile of Bax/Bcl-2. Statistical analysis was done by t-test in two clinically resistant and sensitive cells to bortezomib. MTT assay confirmed the creation of the resistant cell line. Th...

Proteasome ‐dependent degradation of histone H1 subtypes is mediated by its C‐terminal domain
AbstractHistone H1 is involved in chromatin compaction and dynamics. In human cells, the H1 complement is formed by different amounts of somatic H1 subtypes, H1.0-H1.5 and H1X. The amount of each variant depends on the cell type, the cell cycle phase, and the time of development and can be altered in disease. However, the mechanisms regulating H1 protein levels have not been described. We have analyzed the contribution of the proteasome to the degradation of H1 subtypes in human cells using two different inhibitors: MG132 and bortezomib. H1 subtypes accumulate upon treatment with both drugs, indicating that the proteasome ...

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1448: Chromatin Profiles Are Prognostic of Clinical Response to Bortezomib-Containing Chemotherapy in Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Results from the COG AAML1031 Trial
erzah M. Horton Steven M. Kornblau The addition of the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib to standard chemotherapy did not improve survival in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) when all patients were analyzed as a group in the Children’s Oncology Group phase 3 trial AAML1031 (NCT01371981). Proteasome inhibition influences the chromatin landscape and proteostasis, and we hypothesized that baseline proteomic analysis of histone- and chromatin-modifying enzymes (HMEs) would identify AML subgroups that benefitted from bortezomib addition. A proteomic profile of 483 patients treated with AAML1031 chemother...

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor specificity determinants are preserved in a class of dual HDAC/non-covalent proteasome inhibitors
Bioorg Med Chem. 2024 Mar 16;104:117680. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2024.117680. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMany disease states require multiple drugs to inhibit multiple targets for their effective treatment/management, i.e. a drug cocktail regimen, or "polypharmacy". Polypharmacology, in contrast, is the development of single agents that can inhibit multiple targets. Each strategy is associated with advantages and disadvantages.

B-Myb deficiency boosts bortezomib-induced immunogenic cell death in colorectal cancer
Sci Rep. 2024 Apr 2;14(1):7733. doi: 10.1038/s41598-024-58424-w.ABSTRACTB-Myb has received considerable attention for its critical tumorigenic function of supporting DNA repair. However, its modulatory effects on chemotherapy and immunotherapy have rarely been reported in colorectal cancer. Bortezomib (BTZ) is a novel compound with chemotherapeutic and immunotherapeutic effects, but it fails to work in colorectal cancer with high B-Myb expression. The present study was designed to investigate whether B-Myb deletion in colorectal cancer could potentiate the immune efficacy of BTZ against colorectal cancer and to clarify the...

Heart and Lung Transplant in a Patient with Relapsed AL Amyloidosis
Introduction: AL amyloidosis is a systemic disease of abnormal light chain production and pathologic amyloid fibrils that infiltrate tissue and lead to organ dysfunction. Solid organ transplantation historically has played a small role in management due to concerns of multi-organ involvement and risk of relapse. Standard of care previously included cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (CyBorD). For relapsed disease, treatment options often included immunomodulatory drugs that are associated with an increased risk of transplant rejection or autologous bone marrow transplant.

Myelomatous pleural effusion in multiple myeloma- A rare presentation
J Cancer Res Ther. 2024 Jan 1;20(1):476-478. doi: 10.4103/jcrt.jcrt_1772_22. Epub 2023 May 2.ABSTRACTMultiple myeloma is a malignant plasma cell condition that mostly affects the skeletal system and bone marrow. Pleural effusions are uncommon and typically result from other conditions coexisting with multiple myeloma. Malignant myelomatous pleural effusions are rare complications of multiple myeloma, occurring in less than 1% of patients and are associated with poor prognosis having mean survival of less than 4 months. The present case report is a 41-year-old multiple myeloma patient who developed bilateral pleural effusio...

Refractory guillain-barr É syndrome in a patient with asymptomatic multiple myeloma successfully treated with low-dose rituximab
Acta Clin Croat. 2023 Aug;62(2):382-386. doi: 10.20471/acc.2023.62.02.19.ABSTRACTDespite being extremely rare, Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) has been recognized as a neurological complication of multiple myeloma, with variable responses to plasmapheresis (PEX), intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG), and anti-myeloma therapies. In this paper, we report a case of a female patient with asymptomatic multiple myeloma (aMM) who initially presented as PEX- and IVIG-refractory GBS. After failure of PEX, IVIG, and anti-myeloma therapy (bortezomib, melphalan, and prednisone), the patient was eventually successfully treated with low-do...
