The expanding role of IAP antagonists for the treatment of head and neck cancer

76 views | Nov 07 2023

IAP antagonists, also known as SMAC mimetics, have shown promising results in preclinical and clinical studies as potential anti-cancer therapeutics for head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), particularly when combined with radiation therapy. [Read the Full Post]

Abrogation of Cellular Senescence Induced by Temozolomide in Glioblastoma Cells: Search for Senolytics

119 views | Jun 17 2023

Targeting senescent cells with senolytic drugs, such as ABT-737, navitoclax, chloroquine, ATMi, ATRi, BV-6, PX-866, fisetin, and artesunate, may improve the outcome of glioblastoma therapy by preventing recurrences and reducing tumor inflammation. [Read the Full Post]

Inhibitor of Apoptosis Proteins Antagonist Induces T-cell Proliferation after Cross-Presentation by Dendritic Cells

60 views | Jun 04 2023

Researchers have identified AZD5582 as a compound that enhances dendritic cell cross-presentation of tumor antigens, leading to an increased frequency of systemic tumor antigen-specific CD8+ T cells, which could improve the clinical benefit of immune checkpoint blockade in patients who are unlikely to respond.

Celastrol inhibits necroptosis by attenuating the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL pathway and confers protection against acute pancreatitis in mice

159 views | May 18 2023

Celastrol has been found to inhibit necroptosis by attenuating the phosphorylation of RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL and mitochondrial dysfunction in in vitro models, and in a mouse model of acute pancreatitis, it significantly reduced the severity of the disease and decreased the phosphorylation of MLKL in pancreatic tissues.

SMAC Mimetics Synergistically Cooperate with HDAC Inhibitors Enhancing TNF-α Autocrine Signaling

72 views | May 18 2023

The combination of SMAC mimetics and HDAC inhibitors shows remarkable synergy in suppressing IAP proteins and restoring apoptotic pathways, providing a potential therapeutic strategy for recurrent ovarian cancer. [Read the Full Post]

Lipopolysaccharide sensitizes the therapeutic response of breast cancer to IAP antagonist

74 views | Apr 03 2023

The study shows that LPS enhances the therapeutic response of IAP antagonists in treating triple-negative and ER+ breast cancer by inducing rapid apoptosis of cancer cells through TLR4- and MyD88-mediated production of TNFα, and suggests that antibiotics that can reduce microbiota-derived LPS should not be used together with an IAP antagonist for cancer therapy.
