GPC3 and CD133-targeted peptide dual modification enhances the therapeutic effect of doxorubicin carried by OMVs on hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, Int J Pharm X)
In conclusion, the dual-targeted OMV system enhances tumor specificity via cooperative GPC3/CD133 recognition, optimizes pH-responsive release, and reduces nonspecific clearance by modulating macrophages. These features improve antitumor efficacy and mitigate toxicity, positioning OMV-based nanocarriers as promising platforms for precision HCC therapy.

Dual-Action Theranostic Nanoparticles Delivering Toll-Like Receptor 2 Inhibitors and Chemotherapy Target Breast Cancer Cells and the Tumor Microenvironment. (PubMed, Int J Nanomedicine)
NP-mediated delivery of a TLR2 inhibitor and doxorubicin produces synergistic anti-cancer effects in breast cancer models. This approach may help overcome chemoresistance and improve therapeutic outcomes, offering a promising strategy for the treatment of advanced breast cancer.

LncRNA-PRLB drives ovarian cancer progression and chemoresistance by stabilizing GPX4 mRNA through the FUS-mediated suppression of ferroptosis. (PubMed, Front Med (Lausanne))
Ovarian cancer is highly lethal, largely due to the rapid development of paclitaxel resistance...RNA pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and actinomycin D mRNA decay assays were conducted to elucidate the molecular interactions between lncRNA-PRLB, the RNA-binding protein fused in sarcoma (FUS), and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) mRNA...This study identifies lncRNA-PRLB as a critical upstream regulator of ferroptosis resistance and chemoresistance in ovarian cancer. By scaffolding FUS to stabilize GPX4 mRNA, lncRNA-PRLB maintains GPX4 expression and enables tumor cells to evade ferroptotic cell death.

Integrating computational engines to identify TSPAN6 as a migrasome-associated target for immunotherapy sensitization. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Collectively, our findings establish TSPAN6 as a migrasome-related regulator driving adverse immunotherapy outcomes and responses. Targeting TSPAN6, potentially with mitoxantrone, presents a potential strategy to enhance immunotherapy efficacy.

UGT8/GalCer-dependent resistance of breast cancer cells to drug-induced apoptosis is potentially regulated by the LIM/homeobox protein LHX6. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Targeting LHX6 decreases UGT8 expression and GalCer synthesis, thereby sensitizing MDA-MB-231 cells to doxorubicin. Given UGT8's role in cell survival and drug resistance, inhibition of LHX6 may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for drug-resistant BC.

Isoxazole derivatives as multi-target agents: virucidal, antibacterial, and antiproliferative effects on skin cancer cells. (PubMed, Pharmacol Rep)
In conclusion, this work validates specific isoxazole derivatives as highly promising candidates for development: MO3 for resistant bacterial infections, MO7 for otherwise untreatable adenovirus infections, and MO10 as a dual-action agent against HSV-1 and an adjunct to melanoma chemotherapy.
