Pharmacologic targeting of the p62 ZZ domain enhances both anti-tumor and bone-anabolic effects of bortezomib in multiple myeloma
Haematologica. 2023 Nov 16. doi: 10.3324/haematol.2023.283787. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMultiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy of plasma cells whose antibody secretion creates proteotoxic stress relieved by the N-end rule pathway, a proteolytic system that degrades Narginylated proteins in the proteasome. When the proteasome is inhibited, protein cargo is alternatively targeted for autophagic degradation by binding to the ZZ-domain of p62/sequestosome-1. Here, we demonstrate that XRK3F2, a selective ligand for the ZZ-domain, dramatically improved two major responses to the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib by increasing:...

Hematologists' awareness of venous thromboembolism in multiple myeloma: a national survey in China
CONCLUSION: The results of our study showed that a large proportion of Chinese hematologists failed to recognize the VTE risk factors, most of them cannot select appropriate thromboprophylaxis for different MM therapeutic regimens and lack awareness of stratified thromboprophylaxis for MM-associated VTE. A standard VTE prevention guideline is urgently needed for the Chinese myeloma group. Continuous education for new professionals should be encouraged. A VTE collaborative group is supposed to be established in each hospital to enhance the overall medical care for VTE patients.PMID:37983471 | DOI:10.1080/07853890.2023.22630...

Making decisions for follow-up chemotherapy based on digital patient reported outcomes data in patients with multiple myeloma and other M protein diseases - A mixed method study
CONCLUSION: The use of PRO data to evaluate patients prior to bortezomib treatment is safe and feasible. Patients prefer to report their side effects themselves as it provides them with more freedom during their treatment.PMID:37984313 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejon.2023.102455 (Source: European Journal of Oncology Nursing)

5-(Trifluoromethyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (TFMO)-based highly selective class IIa HDAC inhibitors exhibit synergistic anticancer activity in combination with bortezomib
Eur J Med Chem. 2023 Nov 10;263:115907. doi: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2023.115907. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTClinically used pan and class I HDACi cause severe side effects, whereas class IIa HDACi are less cytotoxic. Here, we present the synthesis and anticancer effects of a series of 5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (TFMO)-based amides and alkoxyamides derived from the previously reported class IIa HDACi YAK540. The most active class IIa inhibitor 1a showed nanomolar inhibition of the class IIa enzymes 4, 5, 7 (IC50 HDAC4: 12 nM) and high selectivity (selectivity index >318 for HDAC4) over non-class IIa HDACs. Instead...

CTIVA: Censored time interval variable analysis
by Insoo Kim, Junhee Seok, Yoojoong Kim Traditionally, datasets with multiple censored time-to-events have not been utilized in multivariate analysis because of their high level of complexity. In this paper, we propose the Censored Time Interval Analysis (CTIVA) method to address this issue. It estimates the joint probability distributi on of actual event times in the censored dataset by implementing a statistical probability density estimation technique on the dataset. Based on the acquired event time, CTIVA investigates variables correlated with the interval time of events via statistical tests. The proposed method hand...

The Proteasome Inhibitor Bortezomib Induces p53-Dependent Apoptosis in Activated B Cells
In this study, using a direct in vitro approach, we show that deletion of the tumor suppressor and cell cycle regulator p53 rescues recently activated mouse B cells from BTZ-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, BTZ treatment elevated intracellular p53 levels, and p53 deletion constrained apoptosis, as recently stimulated cells first transitioned from the G1 to S phase of the cell cycle. Moreover, combined inhibition of the p53-associated cell cycle regulators and E3 ligases MDM2 and anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome induced cell death in postdivision B cells. Our results reveal that efficient cell cycle progression of activa...
