Resistance to targeted cancer therapies is an important clinical problem. The discovery of anti-resistance drug combinations is challenging as resistance can arise by diverse escape mechanisms. To address this challenge, we improved and applied the experimental-computational perturbation biology method. Using statistical inference, we build network models from high-throughput measurements of molecular and phenotypic responses to combinatorial targeted perturbations. The models are computationally executed to predict the effects of thousands of untested perturbations. In RAF-inhibitor resistant melanoma cells, we measured 143 proteomic/phenotypic entities under 89 perturbation conditions and predicted c-Myc as an effective therapeutic co-target with BRAF or MEK. Experiments using the BET bromodomain inhibitor JQ1 affecting the level of c-Myc protein and protein kinase inhibitors targeting the ERK pathway confirmed the prediction. In conclusion, we propose an anti-cancer strategy of co-targeting a specific upstream alteration and a general downstream point of vulnerability to prevent or overcome resistance to targeted drugs.

β-Lapachone is an ortho-naphthoquinone originally isolated from the heartwood of Handroanthus impetiginosus and can be obtained through synthesis from lapachol, naphthoquinones, and other aromatic compounds. β-Lapachone is well known to inhibit topoisomerase I and to induce NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1. Currently, phase II clinical trials are being conducted for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Read More

A review on liposome-based therapeutic approaches against malignant melanoma.

Melanoma is a highly aggressive form of skin cancer with a very poor prognosis and excessive resistance to current conventional treatments. Recently, the application of the liposomal delivery system in the management of skin melanoma has been widely investigated. Liposomal nanocarriers are biocompatible and less toxic to host cells, enabling the efficient and safe delivery of different therapeutic agents into the tumor site and further promoting their antitumor activities.

Department of Biotechnology and Life Science, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, 2-24-16, Naka-cho, Koganei, Tokyo, 184-8588, Japan.

Nanog, a marker and regulator of the undifferentiated state in embryonic stem cells were anticipated to be an effective enhancer of cancer metastasis. We have developed a Nanog overexpressing mouse melanoma cell line B16-BL6 (BL6). BL6 was well recognized as a cell line with a high metastatic potential. Read More

Exploring the role of BAFF as biomarker in the detection of uveal melanoma metastases.

Authors:
Zenan Lin Daniela Süsskind

J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2021 Mar 4. Epub 2021 Mar 4.

Center for Ophthalmology, University Eye Hospital, University of Tübingen, Elfriede-Aulhorn-Strasse 7, 72076, Tübingen, Germany.

Purpose: While B-cell activating factor (BAFF) was identified to promote the invasion in other malignancies, its role in the progression of uveal melanoma (UM) still remains unexplored. Here, we analysed the serum level of BAFF in UM patients with regard to its significance as biomarker for the metastases.

Methods: In this retrospective study, serum BAFF levels in 173 UM patients (36 with metastases and 137 without), and 23 healthy controls were measured with a multiplexed sandwich ELISA system and then correlated with clinicopathological characteristics such as primary tumor size, tumor location, histological cell type, sex, cancer stage, cytogenetic alterations of chromosome 3, and the metastatic burden.

Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, 305-8572, Japan.

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L) fruit contains many xanthones in its pericarp, such as α-mangostin. Here, we aimed to elucidate the physiological effect of α-mangostin and the mechanism on melanogenesis in mouse B16F10 cells. The melanin production in B16F10 cells was decreased by α-mangostin treatment. Read More
