Pediatric Essential Thrombocythemia: A Case of a JAK2-Mutated Adolescent With Microvascular Symptoms. (PubMed, Cureus)
She was initially treated with low-dose acetylsalicylic acid, with partial improvement, but microvascular symptoms persisted, and platelet counts remained >1,000 × 10⁹/L. Hydroxyurea was initiated, leading to progressive platelet reduction and marked clinical benefit...Cytoreductive therapy may be indicated in cases with extreme thrombocytosis or refractory symptoms, and long-term follow-up is crucial to monitor disease evolution and treatment outcomes. This case highlights the need for multicenter studies and international registries to have pediatric-specific evidence that can better inform diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Indomethacin exerts both cyclooxygenase inhibition-dependent and independent mechanisms to enhance chemo-immunotherapy in mice. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Here, we investigated the therapeutic potential of indomethacin (Indo), a prototypical NSAID, in combination with cyclophosphamide (CTX), a widely used chemotherapeutic agent with immunostimulatory properties. Importantly, Indo retained therapeutic benefit following CTX even in tumors incapable of producing PGE₂, demonstrating a critical contribution of COX-independent mechanisms, particularly inhibition of tumor-intrinsic oncogenic RAS signaling, to the enhanced efficacy of the CTX+Indo combination. Collectively, our results provide strong preclinical rationale for leveraging the COX/PGE 2 and RAS dual inhibitory capacities of NSAIDs to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

Aspirin Downregulates PDE4D to Inhibit Malignant Progression of Osteosarcoma through the NF-κB/p65 Pathway. (PubMed, Curr Med Chem)
Aspirin suppressed the malignant progression of osteosarcoma by targeting the NF-κB/p65/PDE4D axis, positioning PDE4D as a potential therapeutic target for aspirin- based treatment strategies.

The value of lipid metabolism-related genes in pancreatic cancer immunotherapy and drug prediction. (PubMed, J Gastrointest Oncol)
DSigDB database analysis revealed four possible therapeutic drugs for pancreatic cancer: prolinedithiocarbamate, isoliquiritigenin, aspirin, and resveratrol...High-risk pancreatic cancer populations are potentially associated with an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Candidate drugs screened based on LMRGs offer new possibilities for personalized treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Effect of Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosu AFY02 on AOM/DSS-Induced Inflammation-Associated Colon Cancer in Mice and the Mechanism. (PubMed, J Food Sci)
The ability to downregulate these cytokines was close to that of aspirin and stronger than that of low concentration LR-AFY02L. By controlling the NF-κB and apoptosis pathways, LR-AFY02 can help reduce intestinal inflammation and prevent the growth of intestinal tumors. These findings suggested that LR-AFY02 may have regulatory effects on colon cancer in mice and merits additional study.
