TAK1 inhibitor

Targeting tumor-intrinsic TAK1 triggers anti-tumor immunity and sensitizes pancreatic cancer to checkpoint blockade. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Pharmacological inhibition of TAK1 with Takinib, or genetic deletion of MAP3K7 in autochthonous p48-Cre;TP53 flox/flox ;LSL-KRAS G12D GEMM, enhances intratumoral CD4 + and CD8 + effector T cell infiltration and renders immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) effective...At the molecular level, TAK1 phosphorylates Ephrin Receptor A2 (EphA2) at Serine 897, which in turn phosphorylates RAD51 at Tyrosine 315, a key DNA repair protein involved in homologous recombination. We uncover TAK1 as a critical mediator in maintaining genomic integrity and highlights its potential as a therapeutic target to induce an inflamed TME that sensitizes PDAC to ICB.

Impact of Combination Therapy with Chemical Drugs and Megavoltage X-ray Exposure on Breast Cancer Stem Cells' Viability and Proliferation of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 Cell Lines. (PubMed, Curr Pharm Des)
Anti-cancer and cytotoxic effects of metformin can be effective in this strategy. In conclusion, the combination of conventional chemotherapeutic drugs, including SB203580, metformin, and takinib with X-ray exposure can be a new approach to diminish the drug resistance of breast cancer.

Neuroprotective effects of takinib on an experimental traumatic brain injury rat model via inhibition of transforming growth factor beta-activated kinase 1. (PubMed, Heliyon)
As a result, an enhancement of neuronal function and survival was observed post-TBI. These findings highlight the medicinal value of Takinib in the management of TBI and offer an experimental justification for further investigation of TAK1 as a potential pharmacological target.

TAK1 inhibition leads to RIPK1-dependent apoptosis in immune-activated cancers. (PubMed, Cell Death Dis)
In addition, exposure to pro-inflammatory cytokines IFNγ and TNFα can sensitize resistant GSCs to TAK1 inhibition. Our findings reveal dependency on TAK1 kinase activity as a novel vulnerability in immune-activated cancers, including mesenchymal GBMs that can be exploited therapeutically.

Chronic treatment with TNF-α, alone and in combination with Takinib, SB203580 and metformin induce cell death in breast cancer. (PubMed, Heliyon)
Although, in MCF-7 cells only combination of TNF-α and Takinib reduced BCSCs population in a time dependent manner. Altogether, we showed that TNF-α alone or in combination with other treatments can affect the progression of breast cancer.

Immune-Effector-Cell-Associated-Neurotoxicity-Syndrome (ICANS) Pathophysiology Is Mediated By Microglia TGF-β-Activated Kinase-1 Signaling (ASH 2023)
Targeting this axis diminished the neurotoxicity associated with this therapy. This study provides a rationale for testing TAK1-inhibition in a clinical trial for treating CD19 CAR-T cell-induced neurotoxicity.

TAK1-inhibitors did not reduce disease burden in a Vκ*MYC model of multiple myeloma. (PubMed, BMC Res Notes)
However, this effect was limited, and no differences in disease burden were observed for any of the treatments. In conclusion, although TAK1-inhibitors might prolong survival somewhat, they do not prevent disease in the Vκ*MYC mouse model of multiple myeloma.

Generation of Richter Transformation Models throughout Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patient-Derived Xenografts: A Clonal Evolution Model (ASH 2022)
These findings are of special interest in case 12, because our PDX was primary resistant to ibrutinib and the original CLL sample was sensitive to the drug, suggesting that resistance to this drug may be acquired independently of its exposure. Finally, we observed that RT cells were resistant to venetoclax, but this resistance could be circumvented by the incubation of cells in combination with the OXPHOS inhibitor IACS-010759...We propose that targeting OXPHOS in combination with venetoclax might be a potential targeted therapy in RT patients. Altogether, these models will facilitate the development of new therapeutic opportunities for patients with RT.

Antibiotic-disrupted Ribosome Biogenesis Facilitates Tumor Chemokine Superinduction. (PubMed, Biochem Pharmacol)
In particular, ribosome biogenesis inhibition by antibiotic actinomycin D (ActD) enhanced the expression of chemokines in intestinal cancer cells under endoplasmic reticulum stress that governs multiple pro-tumoral reprogramming...Moreover, MIC-1-correlated chemokine expressions predicted poor prognoses in patients with colorectal cancer. Ribosome-based chemokine regulation via MIC-1 signaling would provide novel insights into translational interventions against malignant inflammatory insults.
