This study identifies ATT-1 as a promising multi-targeted therapeutic for colorectal cancer by leveraging PDOs for direct, de novo target discovery. We uniquely identified two novel, high-affinity targets, CLTC and XRCC5, and elucidated a convergent dual-targeting mechanism wherein ATT-1 binding disrupts DNA damage repair and triggers apoptosis. This novel mechanism and its potent synergy with standard chemotherapy in physiologically relevant models provide a compelling strategy for integrating traditional Chinese medicine into modern precision oncology.

Glioblastoma (GBM) remains one of the deadliest primary brain tumors, with rapid recurrence and near-universal resistance to temozolomide (TMZ) limiting long-term survival...Inhibition of PRKDC with the ATP-competitive inhibitor KU57788 reversed resistance, restoring TMZ sensitivity and impairing tumor growth in vivo...These results establish the LMNA-PRKDC axis as a functional driver of TMZ resistance through enhanced DNA repair capacity in stem-like tumor subpopulations. Our findings support pharmacologic inhibition of PRKDC as a rational strategy to resensitize resistant GBM to standard chemotherapy and offer a foundation for future biomarker-driven clinical trials targeting DNA repair vulnerabilities in recurrent disease.

Scramble LNCaP, BRCA1 KO, and BRCA2 KO cells were treated with the PARPi talazoparib, the DNA-PK inhibitor nedisertib and their combination. Therapeutically targeting NHEJ presents a promising approach in treating BRCA-mutated PCa. Further in vivo investigations are required to assess the tolerability of this drug combination.

When combined with the DNA damage repair inhibitor AZD7648 to enhance immunogenic cell death (ICD), the MPD1-based therapy triggered robust pyroptosis and upregulated ICD markers on tumor cells...Rechallenge studies confirmed the establishment of robust immunological memory. This work establishes a new engineering paradigm with a self-amplifying, ICD-inducing therapy for treating historically "undruggable" cancers, creating a strategy to convert resistant tumors into ones that are highly susceptible to immunotherapy with clinically usable drugs.

Drug sensitivity analysis revealed that high-PCDS patients may benefit more from agents like sorafenib and fulvestrant, while low-PCDS patients responded better to NU7441. Notably, the PCDS is closely associated with key immunological characteristics of the TME. These findings advance personalized treatment strategies and support clinically relevant decision-making in DLBCL.

Furthermore, several targeted drugs, including MK-2206, pazopanib, JNK inhibitor VIII, PLX4720, and NU-7441, were associated with risk scores. This study identified five TRP-related biomarkers associated with RC prognosis, providing novel insights into the role of TRP channels in RC development. These findings may contribute to a deeper understanding of RC pathogenesis and offer potential targets for personalized therapy.
